Holiday Seasons CSU Style Being away from home for the first time can be quite traumatic for many students. When the holidays roll around, however, CSU students find ways to make the season more homey. At Halloween, ghosts 85 goblins seemed to come out of the woodwork. Various organizations sponsored costume parties, some in conjunction with homecoming. Thanksgiving was the first chance many had to go home, but before leaving special Thanksgiving dinners were served. As soon as students returned from their homemade turkey dinners, Christ- mas parties began. First the President's Club sponsored a party for under- privileged children on November 29. The children came from all over Edmond. Different clubs sponsored the children by making sure Santa had toys, clothing and a stocking of goodies for the little ones. December 2 was the Feast of Carols. After the dinner CCornish game hen, baked potato and sour cream, veggies and strawberry cake were served,J campus organizations were invited to dedicate and present a wreath to a person who helped them during the past year. The wreath presentation was followed by a short program presented by a few of the various choirs and singing groups on campus. A short play reminding us of the real meaning of Christmas was presented. Santa Claus showed up at the end in time for after dinner cider and conversation. Even though students are busy and away from home, the holidays are not forgotten. TOP: Tim Reece presents a wreath to Deans Land and Ryan at the Feast of Carols.

Homecoming '82 CSU - a gem in Oklahoma's Diamond Jubilee was the theme for this year's homecoming celebration. i The festivities were kicked off with a picnic and pep rally on Wednesday, October 27. Due to high winds the bonfire was not lit, but East Hall won the award for the most original piece of wood contributed to the bonfire efforts. Despite a boycott started by a few of the dorm residents against the Greek Homecoming Queen elections, there was a high turnout for the election held the week before homecoming. iAll contes- tants were members of sororities.l Thursday night the University Center Ballroom was the scene of the 1982 Homecoming dance and crowning of the queen. Michele Merhib, a sophomore, was crowned queen. Kris Miller, Cynthia Sullivan, Shelly Moody, and Susan Witt were the attendants. Since Homecoming was so close to Halloween there was a costume contest and series of scary movies in the University Center on Friday. Saturday, October 30, was the long awaited day, Homecoming. The festivi- ties were kicked off at 9 a.m. with a commuter reception followed by the parade. After the parade the CSU Alumni had a luncheon in the University Center Ballroom. In the morning parents and families of students were invited to the campus to see where their sons and daughters went to class and lived. The dorms and Greek houses held Open House for this purpose. Before the game against Cameron a special ceremony was held on the football field. Mike and Risa Russell accepted a plaque in honor of their sister Karen, who was killed in a car accident in May of last year. Karen was last year's homecoming queen and candidate for graduation in July. . To end the week, CSU's football team creamed Cameron 38-6. The turnout for the game was the largest thus far for the season. At half time, in addition to the coronation, Broncho fans were introduced to the football team on the field. p Who says Broncho fans have no spirit??!! C A.,., v J .f os.
