Inauguration eekend Inaugural Weekend, a special celebration for Hampden- Sydney and its new president, josiah Bunting III, provided the start of 1978 football weekends on the Hill. Russell Kirk began activities on Thursday with a Hampden Fellows Program that supported the liberal acts cur- riculum as leavening the lump of large universities. The fol- lowing night, the Richmond Sinfonia honored Bunting with an Inaugural Concert in johns Auditorium. Saturday morning broke hot and clear as representatives from 110 colleges and univer- sities gathered with spectators at Hundley Stadium for the in- auguration ceremonies. An au- dience of 2500 listened as Bunt- ing lauded the benefits of lib- eral education for preparing students for citizenship as well as for a profession. At 12:00 noon everyone gathered under the trees at Winston Hall for a buffet before the Hampden-Sydney vs. Sewanee football game. ARA Slater proved it could stand the strain of the extra visitors as it hustled the diners in and out so they could be reassembled at Death Valley for the 2:30 p.m. game. Bill Newell was too much for the Tennessee visitors as he hit 11 of 15 passes for 119 yards f and two touchdowns. Frank Fulton, Bob Calcote, and Tim Maxa keyed the defensive play with each intercepting a Sewanee pass. The final score: Hampden-Sydney 27 - Sewanee 3. The halftime activity was perhaps the most exciting and certainly the most unusual event of the afternoon, as five members of the Hampden- Sydney Sport Parachuting Club jumped from a height of 5000 feet, formed a human ring above the College, and landed gracefully on the football field. Saturday night the College Activities Committee and the Inaugural Committee presented the big band jazz sounds of Woody Herman and the Thun- dering Herd for a black tie dance. The event was attended by about 300 persons who swayed to the mellow jazz sounds until early Sunday morning. Shep Haw R, . -4 iv
