The week got off to a rainy start on Sunday, October 9 cancelling the Home- coming Bazaar scheduled for that after- noon at Legion field. However, Chi Ome- ga ' s Bulldog Stadium Stampede, a ten ki- lometer roadrace to raise money for Dia- betes, went on as scheduled. Students braved the rain Sunday after- noon, though, to prepare displays through- out town for Monday ' s Window Painting Competition. Unfortunately, late evening downpours washed away the day ' s work and sent students back out painting Mon- day morning.

Silver Britches on the Silver Screen Main also wreaked havoc on Wednesday night ' s downtown sales and street dance, featuring The Voltage Brothers, as the activities had to be moved into the Mad Hatter. Campus was covered in banners of every sort imaginable Thursday as participants awaited that afternoon ' s judging. Thursday evening was spent at the Georgia Square Mall, as 3,025 people toasted the Dogs in the Guiness world re- cord breaking mass toast event. Many stayed at the mall to take advantage of more sales and watch musical and dance entertainment, but most returned to cam- pus to spend the night preparing the many colorful floats for the next afternoon ' s pa- rade. By Friday, sunshine had returned to Athens to help to make for a spectacular Homecoming parade. Grand Marshall Vince Dooley led floats, spirit cars, the Redcoats, and campus beauty queens and celebrities from the Coliseum, through campus, to downtown. A barbeque picnic followed at Legion field with entertainment provided by the Buzzsaw Boogie Band. After eating, stu- dents joined in a pep rally to prepare for Saturday ' s game. During this pep rally, the top four skits from earlier competition were presented for final judging. An in- credible fireworks show concluded the evening. A perfect ending to the week came Sat- urday afternoon as the Georgia Bulldogs defeated the SEC-foe Vanderbilt Commo- dores, 27-13. At halftime of the game, after a salute to famous themes from the silver screen by the band, Kim Smith was crowned Miss Homecoming. The new queen was selected by a student vote after the five member court was chosen by a panel of judges from over 50 contestants. Also at halftime. Alpha Gamma Delta and Delta Tau Delta were announced the overall winners in Homecoming competi- tion. This pair also captured first place in the Classic league for fraternities and so- rorities.
