MPUS GETS LL DECKED-0 T RIVERFEST STYLE FOR MA 8 P by Kandee Reiminger Getting the campus all decked out for newcomers is a job not taken lightly-and the Student Activities Committee, headed by chairperson Sharon Amelon, greeted ma and pa in style on Fall Parent's Day. Despite drizzle and overcast skies, a well-rounded program of activities, centered around a Riverfest theme, was scheduled to make the day fun and memorable. Dr. Bill Stacy, SEMO's president, was on hand for a Meet the President forum to discuss aspects of campus life. Also in the morning, the individual colleges hosted open houses while various clubs and campus organizations set up informational stands in front of Academic Hall. To aid in catching the Riverfest spirit, captain's hats were sold to parents and students. Entertainment by Dixieland Jazz Band and a picnic lunch on the Terraces occured at noon. A pep rally followed the picnic prior to the SEMO-Northeast Missouri State game. During half-time of the game, parents of football players, cheerleaders and Sundancers were introduced to the crowd. After the Golden Eagles' tribute to the Beatles, Dr. Stacy was named an honorary member of the band. SEMO lost the game 34-19. In the evening, Phi Mu Alpha, the professional music fraternity, hosted the 21st annual All-Campus Revue featuring professional comedian Harry Waller as emcee. For their involvement in October Parents Day, SGA awarded Maureen Toczko Student of the Month and the Horticulture Club Organization of the Month. Maureen chaired the food committee providing doughnuts and coffee in the morning and the picnic lunch while the Horticulture Club sold mums and set up a banner and flower display. THE CHIMES OF Academic Hall were drowned out by the jazz music provided by the Dixieland Jazz Band. Along with other members, which included state representative Jerry Ford, Dean Fred Goodwin performs for the students and parents dining outdoors, as part of the band.
