FANS CHEER TEAM ON TO WIN The da - preceding the big homecoming game consis- ted of a parade with many colorful and exciting floats. Entries ranged from the Greek organizations to the academic clubs. People from all over Lubbock, includ- ing students, parents and Tech alumni, turned out for the morning parade. There was a sense of stimulation that flowed throughout the air during homecoming weekend. The Red Raiders faced the Baylor Bears in the homecoming football game. Baylor traveled to Lub- bock hoping for another victory over the Red Raiders like they have experienced the past few years. Much to their surprise, though, Tech was ready. In an outstanding performance, the Raiders downed the Bears 36-6. Marie Phillips, a senior from Odessa, was crowned homecoming queen in a ceremony preceding the foot- ball game. Attendance at the game was remarkable after a citywide drive to sell tickets. The stands were filled with a sea of red and black. Students, parents and alums who attended were filled with anticipation and cheer. People were getting their guns up all over the place. Tech pride and spirit really showed at the game. I was impressed with the abundance of weekend activ- ities. said Jill Garonzik. a junior advertising major from Dallas. I was glad we a had a chance to hear the victory bells ring. The Raiders looked forward to the game because of the past losses to Baylor. A victory would complete the weekend. Tech fans watched enthusiastically as the Red Raid- ers dominated the majority of the first half to begin their victory over Baylor. For the entering freshmen at Tech. this victory instilled that Texas Tech pride in the Red Raiders. — Sydnee White During halftime of ihe home- coming game, current members of the Goin Band march with Tech exes.
