OMECOMING 1984 “Under the Big Top” was the theme of this year’s Homecoming week, and there certainly seemed to be three rings filled with festivi- ties. Of course there was the usual Spirit Night Steak Dinner, decorat- ed cafeteria, Homecoming Carnival in Memorial Hall, and voting for Homecoming Queen and Court. One of the many added attrac- tions was the Stromberg and Cooper Mime Comedian Act. Now an established tradition, the Mr. MUC charity benefit con- test was held. Former Mr. BSU, Curtiss Miller was awarded the coveted title. Lovely Polly Chapman, representing the Independent Students, was crowned Homecoming Queen during the exciting 31-7 Raider victory over the Capital Crusaders. As always, an alumni cider and donut reception and the marvelous Homecoming Dance followed the football game and finished up the activities.

There has been a door opened in my life because of this trip. I’m seeing many old faces and some new, but realizing there ts much more about them than I perceived at first. | now yearn to discover new interests in others and to open myself up to the people I come in contact with.”
