Seminole Spirit ARS Spirit leaders. As the team goes in for half-time, the cheerleaders get the student section to show their spirit during the East Carolina game. cc W -Erica Gillespie e are the Seminoles from Florida State, some say we ' re good, some say we ' re great, are the opening lines to the ' ' Seminole Rap. Performed by mem- bers of the football team, this song greeted all stu- dents back to school as it blared over radios campus wide. This tune gave all the fans something more to boast of besides having a winning football team; our players can sing too. In order to have Amer- ica ' s 1 college pep rally and party, the Seminole fans must be a psyched bunch of people. Only fans dedicated to their football team and university could withstand one-hundred and four hours of excite- ment, contests, and danc- ing. Yet, this pre-game cel- ebration for the Florida game is not the only oc- casion that students and alumini gather to cele- brate. Before any home game, tailgaters have their RV ' s and vans loaded with chicken wings and beer lin- ing the parking lots sur- rounding Doak Campbell Stadium. Spirit and enthusiasm are displayed everyday on campus but most especial- ly at the games. Garnet and gold sweatshirts, tank tops, and tee shirts line the stands. Avid Nole fans even choose to apply Sav- age Sam decals to their hands and faces. Others choose to have war paint painted on by the Scalphunters who greet fans at the gates. Only a select few venture enough to cover their upperbody with war paint. For fans, the cheering never stops. As Santanu Data says, I went to all the football games this year, in fact I haven ' t missed a home game in six years. The commitment is always there for Seminole boost- ers, alumni, and students, even through a hurricane. Lorenzo Wltchard Straight as an arrow.

z 7„ X i ON TOP 7 y 9 I s Opening up the many ' ' Windows to the World , stu- dents, faculty, alumni, and community gathered to- gether to enjoy the annual homecoming festivities or- ganized by Student Gov- ernment. The theme Windows to the World had been appropriately chosen in recognition and celebration of the interna- tional Olympics. The excitement began Of the World during the first week of Oc- tober. Sororities and frater- nities paired up to create unique and extraordinary floats, the students eagerly expressed their votes for a newly elected homecom- ing chief and princess, and the whole campus antici- pated the upcoming events previously pre- pared by the Student Gov- ernment Organization. The ritual opening ceremonies took place on October sixth and launched the up- coming activities with the new addition of a home- coming carnival. The Stu- dent Union was filled with the smells and tastes of ex- otic and international cui- sine put out by the Marriot food services, and the courtyard was full of var- ious prize winning and fund raising games. The crowds gathered not only to enjoy fine cuisine and fun, but al- so to prove the unending spirit of a Seminole fan. Lorenzo WItchard Toe-Tappin ' Fun.
