Several UPC committees collaborated to book con- certs, schedule films, and organize the week's many functions. Homecoming was a week that included a football game, many special events, and most importantly, it was a day for Auburn alumni to return to campus and recall their college days. Reminiscing is what Homecoming was all about, and 1986 was no exception.
