HO -C MIN G Chico State had a near perfect Home-Coming Day this year. The only thing to mar the fes- tivities was the Home-Coming football game defeat to Southern Oregon. Home-Coming chairman this year was Kirk Zumwalt. He had a well organized committee to coordinate the many activities of the day. Por the first time, a Variety Show was presented on the eve of Home-Coming Day. Direc- tor ofthe show, Rootin' Porky Home, was Rick Pihl. Pihl was also featured in the show as were Bob Torrey, Tom Verhetsel, and Bill Lang's popular tumbling team. The cast and chorus numbered 100 students. HRootin' Porky Home was sponsored by the Block C organization. Judging from its success, Porky may become a tradition of Home-Coming. Clj L.

Twenty-eight frosh criminals received their sentences in Kangaroo Kourt on October 12 after Prosecuting Attorney Jerry Unger had finished with them. The freshmen seemed resigned to their fate, yet they faced the harsh charges, the redoubt- able evidence, the inevitable verdict, and the brutal sentences with brave hearts and magnificent dignity. Throughout the proceedings, they managed to maintain the grim smiles etched on their lips, though at times their features were obliterated by custard pie that streamed down their faces. A terrific mess was created by the court proceedings, but many freshmen seemed eager to aid in cleaning it up. This strange volunteering was probably the effect of a stupifying mixture of garlic juice, hair tonic, fly spray, sulphuric acid, and limburger cheese extract that was sprayed over the frosh group at regular intervals during Kargaroo Kourt.

Following the pre-Home-Corning Variety Show, Chico Staters gathered about the bonfire that was built up by the Freshman class. The bonfire this year was located near Bidwell Bowl. Following a brief pep rally about the bonfire, the students began to serpentine through the streets of Chico to the city plaza. From here a theatre crash was scheduled. Bringing a close to the Home-Coming Day festivities on Saturday was the dance in Memor- ial Hall following the football game.
