Parents’ Weekend a Lasting Memory Homecoming, however, isn't the only occasion when people over 21 (excluding faculty and administrators, of course) arc welcomed on campus. Parents’ Weekend, that yearly event which forces students to clean their rooms for the first time, was held this year on the hast weekend of October, thereby giving the parents a chance to look at some outstanding fall color. Parents’ activities were well planned and impressive: in fact, the parents were pampered to an extent students could only dream of. On Friday, for example, they had their choice of attending classes or watching a soccer game during the day. and after a brief respite, going to either a movie IOrdinary People), a play (The Club), or the Furman Band-A-Rama spectacular. Saturday morning was highlighted by faculty seminars and the Parents’ Reception hosted by President and Mrs. Johns. In the faculty seminars, relevant topics such as ’’Poles Apart: Roots of the Current Russian-Polish Problem” by Dr. William Lavcry and ’’Current Economic Changes: For Better or Worse” by Dr. David Roe gave the parents an interesting, though shortlived. impression of what Furman classes and professors arc like. That afternoon's football contest, featuring the Paladins and Liberty Baptist. if nothing else, was at least held under slightly better conditions than last year’s Mud Bowl between Furman and Wofford. We won this year, defeating the Flames 38-14. Finally. Saturday evening, in addition to seeing another showing of The Club, parents had the opportunity to enjoy the Furman Dance Theatre’s ’’Soaring and Other Dance Works.” With the arrival of Sunday afternoon. both Homecoming and Parents' Weekend began to wind down as the visitors headed home and the students headed back to the books. Nevertheless. the memories of these two traditional. yet integral components of Skip WiUuim Furman University will live on for all who were a part: students, alumni, faculty and parents. And it is these events and their memories, these ’’ties that bind.” which will ensure Furman remains a vital and viable community.
