Traditions Updated fo HCDMECO Homecoming '85 was a month late and a down short. Originally scheduled for the Broad Ripple game on September 27, the annual alumni reunion was moved to the Howe game on Gctober 18, to allow additional time for planning new activities and in- volving more people. Added to the array of tradi- tional homecoming festivities were a powderpuff football game, a bonfire, and greater competition in the homecom- ing float and banner contests. All four classes, several organizations, and at least one independent group of students swelled the list of entries for the homecoming parade. The Class of '87 won the float competition for the third consecutive year and placed itself in a position to become the first class ever to sweep the competion throughout its four years at Tech. Crowning the homecoming royalty, Queen Robin Sanders and King Brian Mitchell, was Tech alumnus, Bruce Pillow, a successful actor on the daytime drama, All My Children, who came home to Indiana for the filming of the movie Hoosiers, Completing the homecoming court were queen candidates D'Ondra Coleman, Leona Flanigan, Sharon Fowlkes, and Remitha Stewart and king candidates Phillip Alexander, Steve O'Neal, Steve Pittman, and Aaron Zinnerman. ln the rivalry on the field, Tech played a lackluster first half, handing Howe a 20-O ad- vantage. Taking charge in the third quarter, however, the Titan defense shutdown the Hornets and inspired the of- fense. Two fourth quarter touchdowns moved the Titans to within six points with a score of 20-14. Driving for a score during the final seconds of the game, the offense stalled on the one-yard line. Tech ran out of downs as the clock expired. Although the team provided plenty of excitement and suspense, it was unable to secure a come-from-behind victory.

Thank You For FRIE Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall. All you've got to do is call. And l'll be there, yes, l will 'cause you've got a friend. This Carol King song, perform- ed by James Taylor, could have been written about the new at- titude Techites had toward one another. No longer was it necessary for most Techites to belong to each other in a romantic way. Many found that a friendship could withstand more than a romantic relation- ship and was less demanding. Also, unlike a romantic rela- tionship, friendships included anywhere from two to several people, and friendships involv- ed the same or opposite sex. Friendships were chosen over a romantic relationship for various reasons. For some, a friendship provided support, other friendships provided companionship, and still others were simply for group iden- tification. Regardless of the reason, and despite some of the hardships friendships en- During a home football game, senior Michael Curtis and juniors Gilbert Reid and Kevin Knowles, freshman Jerome Valentine and sophomore Kenneth Davis find that because so many of their friends came to the game there is standing room only. Flutists Amy Grimsley and Angela Smith experience the sharing that comes with friendship as they perform at a home basketball game. countered, friendships were vital to Techites. Not only on Tech's campus was friendship the new craze, but also throughout the country. Friendship was even a universal theme for songs and television shows. Stevie Wonder's song, l Just Called to Say I Love You, illustrated that friendships do not have the demands and strains that rela- tionships have. Some of the most popular shows on televi- sion, Miami Vice, Cheers, and The Golden Girls had friend- ship as the underlying theme. New interest in friendships did not completely do away with serious relationshipsg however, many realized that friendship was an important part of a relationship .....4.,...Y..4.......A.... ....... ..--....... ..- .. ,m:gmee--.-..--2?- -rm4fe-:ifT:t-ex- --1rfL-fTf:n- f-M A - - 1-:T----w --1--.: --,.. 1- - - - ----nf -- - - - - Friendship Feature 13
