After a 17-0 win over the Clemson Tigers students, :ulty and alumni were invited to Gala, an evening of lebration for all to enjoy and the perfect end to a great ;ekend. At the event, awards were presented to the overall inners of homecoming. With their theme of the nerican Revolution, Delta Zeta and Sigma Nu walked ay with the first place award. Second place was arded to Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Chi, and Chi Phi th their overall theme of Childhood. Pi Beta Phi and ' ma Phi Epsilon won third place for their overall theme Broadway. Gala was for many a way to put the tradition back into mecoming events and a way to bring the true meaning the university ' s history to life. Held in the courtyard the old capitol, the event brought many people together to enjoy friends, good music and friendly competition. For many years Gala was a thing of the past, but through the efforts of many students, Gala returned to the celebration in 1993 and only gained in popularity in 1994. This was the second year of Gala ' s return to the Seminole Homecoming tradition. Many students were excited by the return of Gala to the university ' s homecoming tradition. Bringing the Gala back to FSU brought the tradition of homecoming back in full force and really made the students appreciate what homecoming really is-a celebration of our universit y, said senior Kelly Drinkwine. Homecoming was a weekend of celebration, a celebration of traditions. It was a success because of all who participated, whether it be in the parade, supporting the Seminoles at the homecoming game, or enjoying Powwow. Homecoming was not only a celebration of our history and tradition as Seminoles, but it was also the celebration of the unity of our past and the hope for our future. by kristin huckabay Laura Phelps and Gregory Perry repesent the student body on the Homecoming Court.

by eric Johnson The Golden Arches adorn many cities across the country. McDonalds resturaunt ' s were a little piece of home no matter where students went. • I • • ing dining With so many places to eat in town, deciding where to go often became a difficult and time consuming chore. Students could chose from on-campus and off-campus eateries. This choice often depended on where the student was at the time hunger hit. Because every student came to campus at least twice a week, and usually during at least one meal time, favorite campus eateries were The Bagel Basket and Rally ' s. The Bagel Basket is great no matter what time of day it is. The bagels are super with cream cheese at breakfast or turkey at lunch or dinner, sophomore Brian Vickery said. Nutritionists claimed there were four food groups, but to college students pizza made up the fifth food group. A survey by the Renegade showed The Loop and Gumby ' s to be the two main suppliers of the fifth food group the university students. If you have the time to sit down, The Loop is definitely the best place in town, Susan Hood said. In the same survey, McDonald ' s proved to be the fast food meal of choice for students. Fast food proved to be a popular form of dining as students could buv a lot of food with verv little cash. Also, food was served hot and in a flash. The fries there are so good! The Big Mac meal is a great deal, for only three bucks you get a huge burger, large fries and a large Coke. Can ' t beat that, Mandy Etheridge said. Along with feeding the stomach , another factor for choosing a restaurant depended on who the student ate with. The dinner date often posed a dilema. Most of the students surveyed suggested to two places for dinner dates — The Olive Garden and East Side Marios. The atmosphere (at East Side Marios) is real good, and it gives you a more upbeat dinner, Ryan Johnston said. When it came to just hanging out with friends, Pot Belly ' s and Po ' Boys ranked among the favorites. Near campus, these two locations were accessible to students who lived in dorms, or students on a lunch break between classes. It turns out that life on a normal college student ' s financial plan leaves little room for much more than fast food, even on dates. At least now it is easier to decide where to go, thanks to the input of some Seminole food experts. m c Donalds HAMBURGERS j ovep 99 muoN SOlD NOW MjRlftfc.
