• The campus of Arizona State was a gay fantasy land during Homecom- g Week. Each hall and fraternity displayed their entry connected with our Sun Devil-Hardin-Simmons game. In the evenings the campus looked like a Walt Disney production itself; with colorful lights playing on storybook characters and places. The judges, after much deliberation, made their choice of winners in the various divisions under decorations. The house decorations trophies went to Gammage Annex for its medieval castle and Matthews Hall for Hardin Their Arteries in the women's halls division. Tops in the men's halls were Hayden Hall's model T carry- ing a cowboy to Hades, and East Hall's Gif Along Little Cow- boys. Delta Sigma Phi won first place for the fraternities with a cowboy being chased by a devil in and out of an Old West saloon. Alpha Tau Omega was second with a Cowboy's Dream. • • Alpha Gamma Sigma, an agricultural social fraternity, added con- siderably to the festivities of Homecoming week this year by sponsor- ing a large barbegue. They fed 600 people and believe that v ith the experience gained, more time to plan, and better publicity the borbeque wll become one of the more important events of home coming.
