No dampened spirits The rain came down but spirits re- mained high as students attended Home- coming festivities. The largest crowd ever turned out for the Homecoming activities, said Greg Tinnell, programming committee chair- man. The big event of the week took place Sunday night when Little River Band and Tom Chapin performed in the Feaster Center. Twice as many students showed up for the Little River Band and Tom Cha- pin concert than any other concert we ' ve had, said Tinnell. Attendance for the game was low be- cause of the cold rain that fell. However, for those who attended, the game gave way for some exciting moments. The Fal- cons were tied with W. Va. Tech with a 1:29 left in regulation time when freshman kicker Jon Holtfreter booted a 47-yard field goal to put Fairmont ahead 10-7. During half time of the game, Cathy O ' Dell was crowned Homecoming queen. Sponsored by Delta Zeta fraternity and Sigma Pi fraternity, she is a regular per- former in stage productions. Miss O ' Dell was the first to be elected by the new method proposed by Student Government for selection of Homecoming queen. A candidate had to be a full time stu- dent in her sophomore, junior, or senior year, and have a 2.0 average. Lynicia Edi- son was chosen as an attendant by the Freshman Class. Judges picked the five finalists after an informal interview, a dinner, and a fashion show a week before the game. The fourteen candidates were intro- duced and the five finalists announced at the disco Thursday night. Students voted on Friday for the Homecoming queen. Those chosen as finalists with Miss O ' Dell were Cheryl Minnix, Jennifer Herr- mann, Toni Parker, and Melinda Sue Tay- lor. The Black Student Union sponsored a dance at the American Legion Saturday night with disc jockey Les Diamond from Oak Hill. Approximately 250 people attended the dance during which the court and queen of BSU were introduced. The can- didates were Lynicia Edison, Valerie Goldson, Ruby Brooks, and Stephanie Green. Miss Green, a senior psychology major, was crowned queen. v ««. -K ' Float stuffing is everywhere as members of Phi Mu and Theta Xi prepare for the parade. 8 Homecoming
