As Renegade the horse rears on his back legs, Chief Osceola drives a spear into the ground. Premiered at the FSU-Stetson game on September 16, 1978, the use of Chief Osceola in Doak Campbell Stadium has never failed to prompt Seminole spirit or keep the fans from jumping to their feet to cheer. The Seminole Tribe of Florida made the authentic outfit for Chief Osceola to wear. Throughout the use of the Seminole name, the University has remained on good terms with both the Seminole Tribe of Florida and Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. The university continually sought to bring honor to the Seminoles and retain it through every use of the name. Each year, the Seminole Tribe of Florida sends representatives to the unversity to participate in the homecoming activities such as the parade and presentation of the homecoming court. The representatives crown the Homecoming Chief and Princess with a handmade headgear during the half time ceremony on game day. The Seminole Princess foi homecoming was Seminole Indian and university sophomore Carla Gopher.

nin The parent ' s weekend football game was the only home football game played at night. by karen guerra Parents weekend began with cold, wet drops that poured from the clouds hovering over the university. However, the campus tours were the only activities canceled due to the weather forecast. Despite the weather, there were still many activites for parents to enjoy. Prior to Parent ' s weekend, students were busy doing housekeeping. For many students, this cleaning was the first their rooms had received since their parents moved them into their rooms in August. Freshman Mike Brezin, felt he needed to straighten his room before his mom came into town. I had to do my laundry and tell my roommate to pick up his clothes, Brezin said. Although students were busy cleaning before Parents weekend, they were also ex- cited about going shopping. Weeks of being on their own, had made students hungry for the money that parents provide and students sometimes take for granted. Meteorology major Sam Lucius could not wait for her parents to arrive with wallet in hand. I had a huge list to show my parents of all the things I needed. Well, I actually didn ' t really need anything, but I wanted to go clothes shopping, Lucius said. Students were not the only ones with shopping lists. Parents wanted to be decked out in Seminole gear also. From FSU DAD t-shirts to bumper stickers that read My money and my son (or daughter) go to FSU par- ents were anxious to show their support for the Tribe. My parents went crazy shopping for anything that had Florida State Seminoles all over it, Sophomore Trisha Jarett said. Students in the greek system brought their parents to their sorority and fraternity houses to introduce their par- ents to their home away from home. For some parents, this was their first glimpse into the fraternity or sorority that the student had chosen earlier in the semester. Some sororities had luncheons, showed videos, and put on skits to entertain and inform the families. Fraternities also had an open house and barbeques. The main event of Parents weekend was the North Caro- lina game in Campbell Stadium. It was the only night game of the year and made record attendance. Some students were disappointed when their parents did not show. Junior Amber Astkins thought her parents would make the eight hour drive from Miami to Tallahassee, but due to business reasons, they were unable to come. Not all par- ents were able to take part in the spirit of Parents week- end. I ' m a transfer student, so my parents haven ' t attended an official parents weekend. Hopefully, they will be able to come my senior year, Astkins said. For many parents, the headache came when trying to maneuver in Tallahassee traffic. Between restaurants with a two hour wait, and Ten- nessee Street in a traffic jam because of the game, parents and students were frustrated whenever they tried to go anywhere. Freshman Krista Koscinski ' s dad was not too pleased with the traffic around Tallahassee. I was quite frustrated when I came up here because of traffic jams. Going to the mall with my daughter wasn ' t too pleasant either. It was extremely crowded, Koscinski said. Aside from some stormy weather, traffic jams, over- crowded malls and busy restaurants, parents still enjoyed their visit to the university. Through all of this they still got to spend time with their children, meet their friends, and see where they go to school. • Academy Award Winning movie Ghandi • On May 25, New Jersey State High Court upholds mandatory sex education in schools. • Darrel Waltrip win the Winston racing cup for the second year in a row A 18 A Student Life
