At the end of the game MSU had to concede a victory to Tech with a score of 52-14. Chris Swartz, an Owingsville freshman, was, for the second time that season, the Alumni Association Most Valuable Player for that game. Before the game, at noon, a tailgate party was held on the east veranda of the Academic-Athletic Center. The MSU basketball team served chili and hot dogs to over a hundred people. Fol- lowing the game, 500 people attended the Alumni Association-sponsored fish fry. During the game, a 65-member Alumni Band provided music. Gradu- ates from years as recent as 1986 and as far back as 1959 were part of the band. Dallas Sammons, David Michael and Bill McIntosh, all present MSU faculty, played in the group. During the game the band grew in size as they added President Grote as an official member. Sunday afternoon there was an 18- hole golf scramble at the MSU Golf course that completed the Homecom- ing events. Receptions sponsored by sev- eral different organizations were held throughout the weekend. . - By: Suzanne Smith Wide receivers coach, Terry Chin gives 3 instructions to Ty Howard, Morehead . sophomore during the Homecoming game against Tennessee Tech.

PHOTO BY' jef Colquhoun 182 It was only a matter of weeks before the fall semester started when Housing oHice realized the need to open up more dormi- tories for all the incomin students, 500 more than lived in the ormitories last ear. Thompson Hall and Butler Hall both had to be completel reopened and Wa- teriield Hall had to e readied for com- lete use after only being partially used ast year. A lot of time, money and effort went into preparin these dormitories for the occupation 0 students. uItis cost us about $1 20,000 to open and maintain these three dorms for a ear. That includes such things as staffing, c ean- ing supplies, reconditioning and refumish- ing. But, it doesnt account for utilities or residence education and other things along that linef said Tim Rhodes, director of university enrollment services. Before any of these dorms could reopen a lot of repairs and cleaning had to be done. Staffs for each hall had to be found and hired. Before Thompson was ready electrical, among other, improvements had to be made to meet the lire marshalls re ulations. Air conditioners, furniture an televisions had to be found. Thompson, which is the oldest of the three dorms was built in 1927. The resi- dents feel like it is a home. With only 69 students living there everyone gets to know everyone else. uLiving in a dorm like Thompson brings everyone closer together? said Re 'na Blair, a graduate student in secon my guidance and counseling from Blackey who is a residence advisor in Thompson. iiWe have come together; there are only two televisions in the whole dorm and we all have to use the refrigerators down- stairs. Vanessa Burke, a Martin so homore math major and Thompson resi ent said, liYou don,t pass anyone you dont know? iiThe people are closer. When youlre in college, people should learn how to relate to each other, especially male to female, said Ed Zahler, Thompson RA. and a ju- nior sociology maj or originally from Rocky River, Ohio. Thompson also has its problems. Along with the usual violations with visitation and alcohol, Thompson is badly in need of renovation. iiLiving here is like taking a step back in time, compared to the other dorms? said Zahler. iiThe hall is in pretty good condition considering its age, said Lesley Thomas who became the director of Thompson a week before the fall semester began. iiIts main problems are technical, such as needing additional electrical outlets. There are plans for the renovation of Thompson and Fields Hall. Work on F ields is scheduled to begin in the fall of 1988 and is expected to be completed within 14 to 18 months. Improvements of Thom son will not begin until after Fields is finis ed or the end of a spring semester when the all will be not in use. The renova- tion for both buildings is expected to be
