Powwow ' 94 was a celebration of the university ' s national champion team and of the university and the spirit of the Seminole tradition. Not only was the Seminole football team heralded for their outstanding job on the football field, but other Seminole teams were honored for their outstanding jobs. The tradition carried on with the announcing of the chief and princess and their court. Randall Bishop and Stephanie Pullings were crowned chief and princess. Gregorey Perry and Laura Phelps won first runners-up and were part of the court which included Marcellus Brown and Kelley Cleckler, Geoffry Cotter and Karena Cracraft, and Steve Mudder and Vista Suarez. Chief and princess candidates were voted on by the student body thus showing another way that the students got involved in the homecoming tradition. Work by the Student Alumni Association helped to make the chief and princess elections run smoothly and made homecoming a truly memorable experience. The students in the association worked to make homecoming a great time for students and alumni. The candidates chosen to represent FSU are some of the best we have ever had and I think they made everyone proud to be associated with the university, said Clay Witherspoon, Student Alumni Association adviser. Along with other traditions of homecoming, the Alumni band returned for a pregame performance along with the Marching Chiefs. The football team added a highlight for the university and its fans with a win over Clemson University and beautiful weather to celebrate the returning alumni and Seminole spirit.
