Homecoming on the campus of OSU means lots of work, lots of color, and lots of fun. Residence halls and Greek houses spent countless hours preparing yard decorations and parade floats. Thousands of dollars were spent on projects that took a week to build and one day to tear down. Phi Kappa Tau fraternity and Alpha Delta Pi sorority were rewarded for their efforts by hav- ing their decoration chosen as 1980's outstanding entry. For many, however, the satisfaction of a completed decora- tion was reward enough. The Home- coming theme for this year's extrava- ganza was Our Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys. The theme seemed only appropriate as Pistol Pete for this year was portrayed by Homecoming chairman Kurt Carter. Attending all OSU games and making special appearances makes the job of portraying Pistol Pete very time consuming. Kurt Carter, Okla- homa City senior, shared time with Stillwater sophomore Don Giles playing OSU's mascot this year. Also sharing time were OSU quarter- backs john Doerner, lim Traber, and Houston Nutt lbelow rightb. lanna lay from TV's Hee Haw lbelowl performed during the halftime show at OSU's Homecoming game. 10 Homecoming

12 Talented Students The daredevil antics of Phil Gibson and Glenn Toney capture the eyes of trusting spectators in front of the library. Catching quite a few looks is Cathey Clack winner of Lambda Chi Alpha s Miss Sorority Pledge Pageant. Amateur singers, dancers, musicians, and athletes displayed their talents all over campus in 1980 and '81, Outdoors, indoors, on stage, and in bars, they made people happy doing what they loved doing. Events like Freshman Fol- lies, Spring Sing, and Varsity Revue gave students the chance to be in the spotlight. Amateur musicians per- formed at Aunt Molly's Rent Free Mu- sic House in the Student Union and contests like Miss OSU, Miss Sorority Pledge, and Mr. Cowboy offered stu- dents the chance to show off competi- tively. Intramural sports provided ath- letes, male and female alike, the oppor- tunity to run, throw, catch, and dive for their fans or fan as it was in many cases. Some took it seriously but most were showing off for fun.
