The Spirit of 76 was the theme of MTSU ' s final homecoming before the Bicentennial. Pep rallies and an activities day highlighted the week before the game. Sigma Chi won the trophy for activities day, which included such old time events as a sack race, balloon tossing, wheelbarrow race and pie eating. Music played a big part in the homecoming celebrations as Shotgun played for the home- coming dance, the Temprees ' provided music for a special performance for the Black Student Association and Linda Ronstadt came to town for the homecoming concert. The week was not without controversy. A short parade, marred by a steady drizzle of rain, was made shorter because of conflicts with the local high schools which were upset because of their placement in the parade and because of a conflict over the use of Jones Field. A National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws float composed of a giant joint in red, white and blue papers caused some furor in the community and on campus. The winning float was submitted by the Middle Tennessee Christian Center with the theme, ' We Still Trust in God. The rain continued into the homecoming game itself, which turned out to be a big 17-5 victory for the Blue Raiders. The rain didn t dampen student participation, however. Sigma Chi won their second trophy of the week for best house decorations, Monohan Hall won yet again for the best dorm decorations and Alpha Tau Omega won the homecoming spirit trophy for the second year in a row. All in all, homecoming week was, as usual, a fun and interesting time for students and alumni alike.

■ 0 . ow that lithe, petite body like hers can belt out a song like she does is totally beyond me. But belt is what she did when Linda Ronstadt appeared at Murphy Center home- coming weekend. Fronted by a fairly tight Barefoot Jerry, a d a fairly good Andrew Gold, Ronstadt didn ' t get on stage until after 10p.m. But when she did, it was magic. Ronstadt, known by many as the queen of country-rock, showed her receptive audience her total range and proved that she can just about handle anything that moves fairly fast or fairly slow. Doing such old standards as Buddy Holly ' s That ' ll Be the Day, Paul Anka ' s ' It Don ' t Matter Anymore, ' Hank William ' s I Can ' t Help It (If I ' m Still In Love With You ), ' she proved she could handle the old really- country and the old really-rock songs. Her renditions of ' Heat Wave, Hey, Mister, That ' s Me Up On The Jukebox and Silver Threads and Golden Needles, proved it even further. f s
