Arkalalah, Ti by Pat Jordan Arkalalah, the annual Ark City festival that welcomes the coming of autumn, was celebrated for the 49th time, and, as always, Cowley studen- ts were a maior part of the event. The big weekend was officially kicked off with the crowning of sophomore Ruth Ann Walker as Queen Alalah XLIX in a program presented in the Auditorium- Gymnasium. The program, with Dr. David Ross as the master of ceremonies, featured the in- troductions of Little Miss and Mr. Arkalalah, the visiting queens, and the five finalists for Queen Alalah. Following the coronation, the queen ger fashion and ner court led the grand march, an Arkalalah tradition which was revived after a long absence. Walker said of the event, lt was like a dream come true. I'd been to every coronation since I was a little girl, and so receiving the crown was a special thrill for me. The next day, Summit Street came alive as thousands of people lined the traditional parade route to view the 2 V2-hour spectacle. Colorful floats, marching bands, cars filled with dignitaries such as Governor John Carlin, and people dressed in costumes of every description ap- peared inthe parade.

Homecoming by Pat Jordan Football homecoming became an all-campus effort as a full slate of ac- tivities were planned for Oct. II- We tried to make homecoming something special this year, said Student Government Association CSGAJ sponsor Hope Steiner. There were presentations and activities from nearly every department on campus and for the first time homecoming offered something for nearly everyone. The festivities got underway with the traditional Tiger Action Club bon- fire and weiner roast at Cottonwood Park where students feasted on hot dogs, soda pop and toasted mar- shmallows. The following day, dubbed Parents' Day, began in the lounge of the new dormitory with registration and an exhibit of student art. Circle-K mem- bers conducted tours of the campus for the parents, and the alumni were welcomed at a reception in their honor. In Galle-Johnson Hall, the stage band gave the audience a taste of the Inge i-'PDCH goes big time big band sound and drama students presented a melodrama Curse You Jack Dalton! Audience participation was a major factor in the play, as college president Gwen Nelson led parents and students as they cheered the hero and booed the villain. In the evening, the Nelson Student Center became the site ofa chili sup- per sponsored by the Tiger Action Club. More than 200 took advantage of the opportunity to fill up with hot food before setting out for Curry Field and the game against Dodge City. After an uneventful first half, the game came to life in the final momen- ts when a bruising play put quar- terback Keith Bonney out of the game.Nonetheless, the Tigers pulled the victory out with a I4-I3 score. At halftime, the four homecoming queen finalists were driven onto the field in convertibles and freshman Cosmetology student Peggy Shelton was crowned homecoming queen and received a dozen roses, a crown, an engraved pendant, a football autographed by the Tigers and the traditional kiss.
