RIPON WILL BECOME A DRY CAMPUS Have you heard the one about the college that went dry in 1988? Don't laugh, it's no joke. Dean Young has spoken with lawyers on the issue and he feels that there is virtually no other option. According to Dean Young there are significant reasons why this policy is a must. First, and most obvi- ously it is illegal to allow underaged students to consume alcohol. With only a handful of legal-aged drinkers on campus next year it would be almost impossible to enforce the rules that currently exist. Alcohol would be too accessible to the underaged students on campus. What does it mean to have a dry campus? Under the plan being considered there would be no alcohol allowed in the dormitories except for in the rooms of legal-aged students. Alcohol would be banned from the lounges and hallways. All campus sponsored activities would be alcohol free. Tim Pflieger feels that campus activities will improve because of the increase in funds due to the fact that SMAC no longer will be providing beer at activities. He plans to get better, more expensive bands at more dances. Before coming to Ripon he worked at a dry campus and says the activities at that campus were fantastic. Dean Young also feels the plan would do good things for all campus activities. He feels that attendance would improve. The lazy students who just buy a barrel and sit around the lounge will be forced to get togeth- er with the whole campus. —Tammy Holtan HOMECOMING 1987 on total points and percentages awarded in events such as: Cloud Con- sumption, Plane Ticket Sales, At the Controls, Hot Air Balloon Atire, and Fly By Night. The Homecoming King and Queen, Representing Alpha Chi Omega and Theta Chi were John Swallen and Janet Bentley. The Redmen award, a sportsmanship trophy awarded to a group whose attitude best exemplify the Spirit of Homecoming, was earned by the Virtical Risers. Lambda Delta Alpha received Honorable Mention in the Floaty Parade Competition. They also sponsored the Team Event Birds in Flight. The annual Powder-Puff football game was changed from the past. Instead of the freshmen women facing all of the upperclass ladies, this year they combined with the sophomores to take on the juniors and the sen- iors. The freshmen-sophomore team triumphed with a 26-14 victory. Following the winners example, the Ripon football team highlighted the week with a 14-7 victory over Beloit. —Brenda Euclide There were a total of seven teams involved in the homecoming activit- ies. The teams were: Alpha Chi Omega and Theat Chi, Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Chi, Fauz Pauz, Homecoming Team, Poultry in Motion, Shooting Stars, and Verical Risers. The team competition events (for which points were awarded) included Solar Scenes, Birds in Flight, Space Ration Relay, Falling Stars, and the Parade. The final selection of the 1987 Homecoming King and Queen was based
