Event changes seen (From pg. 9) off for a brief moment. Two unique changes of this initia- tion were seen in the traditional events of the tug-o-war and of Round-Up. The tug-o-war had an extra incentive added to it. Yes, the battle took place over a huge mud puddle located by the tennis courts. After all had gotten their share of the mud, they were able to somewhat clean-up at the H-Pond. Round-Up brought excitement for the upperclassmen when they were told they would be having a water balloon fight with the freshmen. The fight was fair; each side had the same number of balloons. But Old Main to sing the alma mater; the upperclassmen approached them with flour bombs. Combined with the wet clothes from the total mess out of everyone involved. Awards were given at the end of in- itiation to the best freshmen Rhon- da Jones and Kelly Carter. Also receiving the honor of Most Likely to Make an Excuse were Mike Bates and Robin Sisk. The most creative parade costumes were worn by Jose Jasso, as Matilda the Hun; and by Lori Bond, Elizabeth Helvey, Jennie Perry and April Paris, all as a crayon box.
