 vj y y , j»v m ‘ 0 Hpmecoming.. .Going,Goi Where? 1- st: In a poll taken the week of February 10-14, a cross-section of .100 KSCP students was presented a question- naire to be filled out as honestly as possible. Each ’question concerning Homecoming was chosen to deter- mine the involvement of students and it certain parts of homecoming play, a larger role than others. Who did the Gorillas play the Home- coming game against? Thirty, people knew it was Fort Hays State: 20 gave answers ranging.from Southern Colorado to Fort Scott. Con- sidering the importance Coach Tom Lester placed on the win. 30% is not exceptional. - t -K . » Who won? Eighty-eight said us:.12 said them. And of those 12, four went to the game and didn't even know! What was the Major Attraction? Seventy-two. people knew that the Ozark Mountain Daredevils were in Pittsburg: 28 didn't. Considering the advance publicity. 72;% indicates a fair response. Did you attend the major attraction? Forty-seven people did; 53 didn’t. One person whp, didn't go said he'd father pay a higher price, for a really big name band. Maybe the Homecoming Committee should try for Joe Walsh next year Did you attend the homecoming con- vocation? Forty-nine did: 51 didn't. Depending on how bad you want to skip a class or if your professor cancelled class that day..it seems people can fake or leave Scott Blunk and his films. What was the score? Ninety-six didn’t know or gave a wrong answer; four gave the correct score of 21-7 Of those, one wrote the Collegio story, one was a football player and two were friends who saw the correct answer on the tally sheet. I guess the speech teacher who said numbers are abstract and therefore hard to re- member knew what he was talking about. Did you attend the game? Fifty-two of the 100 went to the game: 48 didn’t. What can you say? Who was Homecoming queen this year? Seventy-eight people said Susie Peak: 22 either didn't know or couldn't re- member. That's a very good percen- tage of people who can remember a name.
