Homecoming continued Tonsion mounts in the tightly packed stadium as Clarion tries to stop the Gridders drive Photo by Jeff McCutcheon Student creativity is evidont in the parade floats as hours ol work are rewarded by applause and prizes Photo Jeff McCutcheon The fans were not disappointed as the Eagles were defeated 13- 7. Halftime activities involved the long-awaited announcement of Homecoming King and Queen. Cheers and applause flreeted Shari Kramer and Paul Kuszaj as they accepted their crowns. SRU had royalty — move over Chuck and Di! Victory celebrations were held at the Shed where alumni and students toasted their winners. Homecoming wasn't over yet. we wanted to end the weekend with laughter, and laughter meant George Carlin. George Carlin arrived on campus (much to the relief of John Bonando, Director of Student Life) and leisurely acquainted himself with the Rock. Carlin performed before 1800 people, most of them students, who rocked the fieldhouse with laughter that will echo down our corridor of time. Echoes return to us like the memory of this homecoming. We showed our pride in this weekend, the parade of talent, expertise in our sports, laughter, fun. and even the rain. Through it all, the Rock was shining with warmth and friendship.

Steve Carpenter. and Bill Chondruang. The long hours of planning and labor were worthwhile as prizes were awarded. The mini-float award went to Alpha Sigma Tau Kappa Delta Rho, and in the giant float category. Pi Kappa Phi took first place. The car entry award was captured by WSRU while Bard Hall walked away with first place in the banner category. Under the Special Groups category, the clerical staff showed their creativity with a mini float that won first place. The theme of Homecoming was depicted best by these winners and proved to us that the music may change, but the feelings it creates doesn't. Of course, what would a parade be without our own Marching Rockets who marched off with first place in the band category. Despite mishaps, rain and chilling temperatures, another Homecoming memory was created Now the cheers wore turning to soccer and football — the best was yet to come, and oh. how we would shine. But first, a trip to the Shed to dry off and warm up. then on to the tailgating! Tailgating is as traditional as Homecoming and this year was no exception Dampness didn’t hamper the Booters as the men’s soccer team triumphed over the California Vulcans 2-1. Excitement was running high as the stadium filled with people waiting to see the Gridders polish off Clarion's Golden Eagles Homecoming
