There was something in the air that week of Oct. 9- 1 4, other than the annual rain and dampness which descends upon FSC without fail every homecoming weekend. There was more — an enthusiasm which began on Monday and grew throughout the week. Beginning Monday, last-minute plans were made for decorations by clubs, dorms and Greeks. On Tuesday, a steak night was held in the Dining Hall, followed by a Coffee house featuring Yukon Jack and the Wharf Rats on Wednesday night. Former student government adviser and dean of men George Turley marshalled the annual parade, which was held Thursday evening under cloudless skies. Unlike previous parades, the line of march began at the Post Office and moved through downtown Fairmont to Mid-City Parking Lot, where cheerleaders, coaches, players, visiting bands and students participated in a pre-game The annual concert was changed from Sunday to Friday Homecoming highlights: night, in hope of generating better attendance. A disappointing turnout braved the cold temperatures and rain to see comedian Larry Beezer and The Flying Burrito Brothers perform in Colebank Gym. The Eston K. Feaster Center for Physical Education (Feaster Center) was officially dedicated as part of Saturday ' s activities. Over 1 ,200 spectators dodged intermittent showers to see FSC fall prey to West Virginia State ' s Yellow Jackets, 17-10, at an afternoon game played at Rosier Field. ABOVE: A North Hall cot eek.
