f wwf October meant rush. It was meeting people, planning private parties, more teas and eoffees, mailing bids and ehoosing those who would be your club sisters or brothers for the immediate future. That's soeial and service rush. For the bulk of students there was another rush to demand their energy and resources. That was Homecoming. Homecoming never eomes until the middle of the month, hut the tension began long before that. At first it was an assignment only partially finished so more time could be spent on the float. If you were a freshman, there were wooden doors, bridge timbers and telephone poles to be gotten for the bonfire. Tradition and the upperelassmen next door told you that the campus was to be guarded . . . and you guarded it. But the Aggies still eame to town. They came for one thing, to spoil our Homecoming. And they almost did. But as thousands of exes left town for another year, they smiled and jokingly slapped each other on the back and eagerly discussed the team's possibilities for the remainder of the season. For those of us remaining, the week after was one of frustration and fatigue. There were signs to be taken down, floats to be dismantled and the infinite number of things we had postponed until. after Homecoming. This was the lull after the storm of rush.
