Chicago Alive Again At Murphy Center Imagine Chicago without Peter Cetera. It ' s hard. Without Cetera what does Chicago really have? Well, they have some of the best musicians in the business, and they put on a great show. Chicago, on its first tour since their longtime vocalist Cetera left to pursue a solo career, played to an enthusiastic crowd on Novem- ber 7. And the best thing about it was that Cetera ' s absence really didn ' t matter. With new vocalist bassist Ja- son Scheff and a new album. Chicago 18, Chicago opened with the Robert Lamm — penned 25 or 6 to 4, an older song they re-recorded for the new album. Chicago performed many of their older songs mixed with the new songs from Chicago 18. Will You Still Love Me was one of the new songs they performed, as well as some old favorites such as You ' re the Inspiration, Sat- urday in the Park, If You Leave Me Now, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, and Stronger Every Day. Though some of these renditions lacked Cetera ' s touch, Scheff did a great job and showed that Chicago is still fresh. After performing the old ar- rangement of 25 or 6 to 4, Chi- cago gave two different and un- characteristic encores. Wilson Pickett ' s Wait Till the Midnight Hour and the Beatles ' Tax- man sure sounded different the way they did it. But Chicago ' s first appearance in two years left everyone satis- fied. Despite Cetera ' s defection, Chicago is definitely alive Chicago displays musical talent 26 vD College Life photo by Michael Johnson

Homecoming A time for recollection, cele- bration, and general support for the campus. This year everything from a five kilometer fun run, to a contest to see who could stick their face into a pie filled with whipped cream and find a jelly bean first were all included as part of the activities. The week started with the annual ASB Chili Cook-off Homecoming Kick-off Classic. Celebrity judges for the event were WKDF DJ Carl P. Mayfield, Murfreesboro Mayor Joe Jackson, Channel Five co- hosts Harry Chapman and Joe Case, and MTSU Criminal Jus- tice Administration Profes sor Frank Lee. They selected the Kappa Delta sorority as having the best chili on campus. The event also raised $3,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Associa- tion. Next in the celebration came the fight song competition, which was held on the lawn in front of the KUC. Sigma Phi Epsilon won the male Greek division with a rap version of the MTSU fight song. Alpha Delta Pi won the sorority divi- sion and Pi Sigma Epsilon won the open division, with Gore and Felder Halls winning the male and female divisions re- spectively.

Kappa Sigma won the male Greek division, Chi Omega took the soroity divi- sion. Pi Sigma Epsilon took the open division, and Gore Hall and the High Rise took the 28 top; Newly crowned Homecoming Queen Feletha Eanes is congratulated by her escort.
