omecoming It ' s More Than Just a Game From Wood Haven Michigan, a Psy- chology major, whose career goal is to get a good haircut, at six feet four inches, a 195 pound sophomore... What is this? Intramural mud wres- tling? No, it is the annual Evans Scholars Car Bash, kicking off the 1990 homecoming weekend. Each year fraternity and sorority members team up and square off in this diag demolition to raise cash for charity. Hundreds of students gath- ered round to witness the destruction. The condemned cars sported spray painted slogans and bumper stickers to inspire the crowd and contestants. One sticker read: Ohio, the Part of . Michigan Nobody Wanted. The in- tensity of the competition reflected the spirit of the slogans as the North fraternities and sororities eked out a 264 to 260 win over the South. During this two hour homecoming novelty, car bashing students grate- fully traded their pens for mallets. It was fun to watch students struggle with a 121b sledge hammer, trying to take their frustrations out on a car, commented Michael Naif, Engineer- ing junior. An evening pep rally replaced the debris of the Car Bash. The 250 member marching band, 50 member Alumni Cheerleader group and the acrobatic cheerleading squad pumped up the crowd for Saturday morning ' s game with Iowa. Later, a bit of the tropic thawed the frigid Diag when the Friars sang Harray Belefonte ' s Banana Boat Song , and then amused the crowd with Graduate on Time, a parady of Bily Joel ' s hit For the Longest Time. The Friars asked not to be con- fused with the HaydenFryars, T a pun on the The condemned cars name of Iowa ' s sported spray painted ' slofans and bumper coach Gary stickers to inspire the Moellerwhenhe croW d and COntCS- finally appeared. He thanked the tantS. crowd, saying A that in order to win the team has to play with your enthusiasm. Full- back Jarrod Bunch also spoke, and predicted a Big Ten championship and Rosebowl berth for the football Team. The harmonettes showed their agreement, closing the rally with a rendition of California Dreaming. Although the weekend fell two points short of perfection, the stu- dents and alumni took solace in the many other comforts of homecoming. vMichael Porta ZU Michigan [,;.;
