,ill-.li pecial convoca- tions, concerts, comedy perfor- mances and funerals were part of Home- celebrated Oc- tober 6-ll. With the theme of Back in Time, students started off the week by at- tending a special convoca- tion Monday morning featur- ing Christian comedian and alumnus Nick Foster. Shannon Maner, a senior nursing major from Cullman, said, lt was exciting to to see an alumnus use his com- ical talents as a witness for the Lord. She said Foster seemed at home in front of the students, and his perfor- mance added new variety to convocations. On Tuesday students were encouraged to show their homecoming spirit by wearing the school colors. Though not well publicized, many students turned out in red and blue. Saga sponsored the sec- ond Dinner on the Dirt of the year with the traditional steak dinner, and the tradi- tional ants. Elizabeth Coles, a fresh- man elementary education coming '86, if e Homecoming major from Atlanta, Ga., said, lt was a lot of fun to eat in a different environ- ment from the cafeteria. I enjoyed the relaxed at- mosphere and just being casual with my friends. Wednesday saw recording artist Gene Cotton come to the campus to give what was billed as an intimate concert. There were only about 300 tickets available for the concert, and every- one who attended sat on stage with Cotton during his performance in the Leslie S. Wright Fine Arts Center. Mr. Cotton provided an evening of priceless enter- tainment. His masterful use of the guitar, four piano chords and fresh humor delighted everyone, said David Owenby, a freshman from Franklin, Tenn. The highlight of the concert was a duet Cotton sang with junior Laura Billingsley called You're a Part of Me. They were awesome, Owenby said. Deputy Barney Fife came to campus on Thursday to make sure everyone was obeying laws to the letter. Don Knotts, winner of five Emmy awards for his por- njoying a cookie during dinner on the quad, this Bulldog tan contemplates the activity around her. Many facul- ty members bring their children to various functions. trayal of the deputy on the Andy Griffith Show, gave a Lecture on Comedy. Knotts had no trouble keeping the attention of his audience, and at the end of the lecture there was an abundance of questions for a question-and-answer period. This was a feat that made some professors envious. Senior Cheri Mangum of Cullman said, I thought he lKnottsj was very funny. l was very happy to see someone of his stature. However, Mangum thought the question-and-answer session was too long, and detracted from the perfor- mance as a whole. The highlights of Friday were fraternity parties, the pep rally, the funeral held for the Anderson Raven and the naming of the 1986 Homecoming Queen. Earlier in the week a casket, deco- rated with decaying pink and red roses, had been placed in various conspicuous loca- tions on campus to promote the funeral. The use of the casket drew both favorable and un- favorable reactions from students. The casket was un- necessary and only gave people the creeps, said Bir- mingham sophomore Terri Stewart. However, some students saw no harm in displaying the casket on campus. The idea was eyecatch- ing and only made the funeral seem more real, said Janine Smith, a senior psychology major from Mobile. Despite the mixed reac- tions, the funeral went on. There were more than 700 students, faculty and alumni in attendance. Senior drama major Jeff Gilliam played the part of a pastor performing the funeral, and the Llniversi- ty. Chorale acted as mourners singing solemn spirituals. After the ceremony Gilliam led the funeral pro- cession to a bonfire on Seibert field. The band, under the direction of Greg Berry, painted their faces a ghastly white, and six Pi Kappa Phi's - Tommy Fuller, David Friday, Barclay Reed, Jeff Hatcher, Tim Gregson and Tolbert Davis were the pallbearers for the deceased Raven. cont. on pg. 15 David Rigg
