nee Upon A Ti ime 6y jCgcey dioward A week of fun-filled campus spirit was how many students would describe Homecoming. The week was composed of many campus organizations participation in all kinds of activities, ranging from win- dow painting to a step competition. Stu- dents felt the impact of such a huge pro- gram, in which the entire campus was in- volved. Nikki Durr, a sophomore who par- ticipated in Homecoming activities with the Black Student Alliance said, To me Home- coming is the time when organizations are competitive, yet they are unified by a com- mon goal — school spirit. On Monday, the campus was brightened by the window painting com- petition. Orgainzations from all aspects of campus life were assigned a window at the Guillot University Center. Each group then got together and painted its interpre- tation of the the Once Upon A Time theme for the week. The bright colors of the win- dows could be seen from all over campus. Elizabeth Sutherland said, I really enjoyed the window painting competition. It was so much fun to get together with your group to paint, plus you could enjoy the windows on your way to class all week. The winners of the window painting com- petition were, in the Men ' s Division-Sigma Alpha Epsilon; in the Women ' s Division, Phi Mu; and in the Co-Ed Division. Can- terbury Club. By Wednesday, the next parts of Homecoming were under way. During the day, students made Fun Flicks music vid- eos. The groups participated in this lip- sync competition in the atrium of the GUC.
