The evening was just as exciting with the 18th annual Miss Ebony Pageant held in Tilson Music Hall. E. Denise Smith, a Terre Haute junior, was crowned the 1988 Miss Ebony. Father Time made his way to Wabash Avenue bright and early Saturday morning to catch a glimpse of the larg- est student organized parade in the country-the annual Blue and White Parade. The parade's roots were estab- lished in the early 1920's. Pre-game festivities for the 1988 Homecoming game included the announcement of the 1988 Distinguished Alumni Award recipients. Rex Breeden, '42, a businessman from Colombus, Indiana; Ger- ald Lamkin, '60, '63, president of Indiana Vocational Techni- cal Schools from Indianapolis, and P. Pete Chalos, '49, '50, mayor of Terre Haute were the 1988 honored recipients. During half-time the Queen and her court, and the Bachelor of the Year and his runners-up were introduced to the game audience.

The purpose of the Master plan was not, contrary to popular belief, to destroy parking and tear up the earth. By its completion, the Master Plan would provide effecient acco- modations for University programs, and buildings to meet students' needs in and out of the classroom. Unadaptable our outdated build- ings were to be demolished. Yet, buildings weren't the only things tobe transformed. The Master Plan sought to improve the physical atmosphere and quality of campus life. By reducing traffic inside the campus, and strengthening the line of physical integrity, there will be a stronger sense of campus culture and community. To achieve these goals, several phases had to be completed. Seven buildings were slated for demoli- tion: the Classroom Building, Jami- son Hall, Parsons Hall, Reeve Hall, Tirey Memorial Union South, Tirey Memorial Union West, and Walden Design Studio. However, destruction wasn't the entire story. Five buildings were to be built, but not necessarily where the old ones stood.
