Long Standing Traditions were maintained while changes were incorporated in homecoming Fall Homecoming combined tradition with new activities designed to enhance the homecoming spirit and to increase student participation. The festivities began with a change of pace as the traditional dance was moved to Thursday night. We added an extra day to Homecoming by changing the dance to Thursday evening, said W.S. Scott, director of guidance services and Student Government Association CSGAJ sponsor. We decided moving the dance was a good idea especially since most students go home for the weekend. The annual bonfire and pep rally, held on Friday evening, had 100 people in attendance to show their support for the football team and ioin in the hotdog-marshmellow roast. Everyone got fired up and really got into the spirit of things, said cheerleader Donna Grover. Everyone seemed to enioy them- selves. Saturday began with the college dorm door decorating contest and was followed by a luncheon spon- sored bythe college. Only four doors were decorated for the contest, two of which tied for first place, Scott said. JaNel Ed- wards-Piper Jackson and Ronna Adelhardt-Juana Wilson each won STO. Kick-off of the football game again- st Hutchinson was changed to af- Jacksonl Shrubshelll ternoon. Although Cowley lost to the Blue Dragons I4-6, the crowning of Kim Rayl during half time lifted spirits. Homecoming activities concluded with the talent show sponsored by the College Endowment Association. Three hundred people attended the show, making it the most successful Homecoming event. We had 12 fine acts perform with Ron Cole taking first place for the second consecutive year, said Gerry Huston, master of ceremonies. Judging by the crowd's enthusiasm, l'd say it was a total success.

N Long Shot Bets were placed as students enjoyed casino life Homecoming in Las Vegas , held in the Nelson Student Center, marked a change in the usual homecoming activities this year. A S1 donation, or as many 10 cent tickets as a person wanted, was the key to an evening of fun and relaxation as the College Dorm held casino night. Sam Floyd, head of the activities committee for the dorm, contributes the idea to a special com- mittee. This is the first year for the casino night. We chose a committee from the dorm to come up with some ideas on how to raise money and promote in- terest for the dorm and they came up with the Las Vegas angle, he said. No money was involved as far as the games went, everything was pur- chased or bets were placed using tickets bought with the dollar donation. There were seven different games that could be played. One could use the tickets to play ping pong, cards, or pool. If that didn't hold a person's interest, bets were placed on taped horse races that ran every 15 minutes or a lottery was held every 45 minutes. Entertainment was provided throughout the evening with recorded music and a video performance of Michael Jackson, imitated by fresh- man Melvin Potter. Food service Q 3.

George Caine, dorm supervisor, felt a new track needed to be em- ployed to promote interest and thinks the casino night accomplished this. Old traditions are fading. In the past, dances were held or there were horse shoe pitching contests but if we don't have something for them to do, students become bored and restless and spend their money recklessly, he said. I iust didn't like to see that happening. We care about the students and if we can provide good clean fun at little expense then I think it's up to us to do it. Freshman Donna Grover, helper for the evening, felt the casino night was a success. The place was really busy and everyone was walking around visiting with friends and having lots of fun, she said. Caine also viewed the evening as successful. We had a large turnout and all the prizes were given away, he said. The students who came and the students who worked had a lot of fun. The big winner with 386 tickets was Ronna Adelhardt. She received the main prize, which was a Sony Walk- man.
