ternity men finished construct- ing their homemade beds, soroi- ty women piled on and were pushed across the finish by their partners. AAI I and ATA placed first. Next, bigwheels were raced around cones before being do- nates to charity. flBO, ATQ, and TKE were judged the fastest fraternities on three wheels. The mystery event began with men and women gathering at tables, all waiting for their sig- nal to dog in. Once the signal was given, faces plunged into jello for the sloppiest, most fill- ing event of Olympic Day. KA and ©X were first place jello eaters. On Halloween, the campus was visited by about 600 chil- dren from Tallahassee, anxious to go trick-or-treating. Sorority houses and lawns were deco- rated according to their allocat- ed theme. Ar and KA deco- rated their house as a circus and tied for third place with III, ZTA, and IAE. Their house was decorated as Old Girls, circus performers, a few of the honorary fraternities, and the homecoming court. The Greek floats were dec- orated renditions of past dec- ades, as well as predictions of decades to come. Sororities and fraternities spent many long hours making their floats in hopes that they might win any of the three judged categories: Most Original and Creative, Most Entertaining, and Best All Around. The winners of the first place float went to the pairing of AXQ, AX, OIK, and OKijj. Their float, decorated fifties style, was topped with a pink Cadillac that was donated by Studebaker ' s, and was accompanied by a skit performed to the tune of We Go Together. Carrie Zebrow- ski, homecoming chairperson representing Alpha Chi Omega, said, I was all fired up about homecoming to begin with; be- ing paired with three fraternities was quite an honor. In the end, when we won first place for our float, I was even more excited A Few Timely Events Summing up a week of festivities showed Seminoles were ready for the changes in time J lympic Day kick off for the homecoming festivities in- cluded a pie relay, an amoeba race, a tide slide, a bed race, a bigwheel race, and a mystery event. The pie relay, a sloppy success, found couples madly running piggy-back to face sta- tions with pie in hand, or on arms and legs, or shirt. KA© and AXA finally crossed the fin- ish and were awarded first place. In the amoeba race, ten cou- ples linked arms together and were tied up, the object being to make it across the finish as fast and as together as possible. AAn and ATA placed number one amoebas. In the tide slide, pairings of a girl to a guy sudsed up to better their sliding distance down a soapy strip of plastic. TOB and ZBT managed to slide the furthest and won first place. In the next event, after fra- MacDonald ' s farm. Second place for House Day went to the TOB house, which was decorat- ed as candyland with help from ZBT. Park Avenue ' s winter won- derland, created by ATA and IOE won the first place award. Overall, this being the first year for having organized trick- or-treating on campus for chil- dren, I think the turn out was fabulous. Hopefully, it will be- come tradition here. Not only was the decorating fun, but the system was also safe for the kids, said Jenny Duncan of Al- pha Chi Omega. Following the cancellation of classes at 1:00 on Friday, No- vember 4, students, faculty, alumni, and visiting families gathered along Jefferson Street to witness the Seminole Home- coming Parade. The parade in- cluded famous alumni, a spec- tacular alumni float, The Golden Girls, JV and Varsity Cheer- leaders, The Garnet and Gold because having been paired with OIK, the new fraternity, I knew that they must have been ecstatic having won their first year out. On Saturday afternoon, the longest homecomi ng crowd in Doak Campbell Stadium history showed up to see the Seminoles trounce South Carolina with a final score of 35-10. The closing of the festivities was celebrated at Kennedy ' s with a victory party. Winners of the individual events were an- nounced as well as the overall winners and runners up of homecoming, which were: KA0 and AXA for third place overall, AAF1 and ATA for second place, and first place homecom- ing winners were nBO, ATO and TKE. — Whitney Harpley Parade o

Celebrities Take Time for Collegians and Alumni r I e was fantastic. His dialogue was so easy to relate to. . .It (the Pow Wow) was definitely his show. The object of junior Cindy Hooker ' s enthusiasm is the sometimes host of the Tonight Show, Jay Leno. Many students ex- pressed similar sentiments re- garding the performance of Leno and other entertainers that performed at the Pow Wow in Doak Campbell Sta- dium. I thought the majority of the entertainment, even be- fore Jay Leno, was great — especially the Golden Girls, says sophomore John Yohanan. Among the other personali- ties and celebri- ties present that night were the official voice of the Seminole Gene Deck- erhoff, basket- ball coach Pat Kennedy and football coach Bobby Bowden. Bowden had in tow players Kirk Carruthers, Odell Hag- gins, Peter Tom Willis and Tony Yeomans. Entertainment included a dance routine by the cheerleaders and the Golden Girls. The Marching Chiefs also performed, and Renegade and Chief Osceola made an appearance. One of the evening ' s high- lights was the crowning of the Chief and Princess. Brian Al- exander, sponsored by the Al- pha Tau Omega fraternity, was named Cheif, and Dana Livaudais, a Pi Beta Phi mem- ber, was crowned Princess. The musical guest opening for Leno was female vocalist Cherelle, a recording artist most known for her top 40 hit Saturday Love. While Cher- elle gave an impressive per- formance, some students were unfamiliar with her music. As Cindy Hooker says, I TAKING TIME didn ' t recognize any of Cher- elle ' s music, so that made it kind of hard for me to enjoy it. Christy Leavins expressed a similar opinion. I could not really understand the words to her songs. She talked too much between songs, and she seemed to be barking part of the time! Despite the general discon- tent with the musical guest, most students agreed that Le- no was worth the wait. Leno is noted for choosing material based on current events in the news and making people laugh at themselves without being vulgar. His material in- cluded a few shots aimed at the Jim Baker scandal, trying to understand his aging par- ents, and analyzing the differ- ences between the sexes. — Michelle Estlund and Craig Rothberg Being among the first to perform, the Marching chiefs lined the field of the Doak Campbell Stadium to play for the early arrivers.
