Parents See SEMO In Style ln the past, when parents of SEMO students came to see their kids, they had one day to take in all the activities, watch the football game, and visit with each other before heading home. But this year, the Parents' Day Committee went one step further by having a Parents' Weekend held in early October. The festivities began on Saturday when parents were invited to visit with faculty in the individual colleges and departments. Following thot, President Bill Stacy hosted a Meet the President session where he spoke to students and parents, concluding with a question-and-answer period. The Academic terraces were the site of the traditional picnic lunch and where the Waterstreet 6, a local jazz band, provided entertainment. To close out the day, parents were invited to see some of SEMO's students, faculty, and staff show their talent in a program emceed by David Naster, a stand-up comedian, inside Academic Auditorium. The weekend concluded Sunday morning with o brunch at the home of President and Mrs. Jane Stacy. Students reaction to the Parents' Weekend appeared to be positive. Before his parents came to see him, junior John Hibler looked forward to having more time to show his parents around. l'm going to clean up the place so my parents won't think college has made me a slab, Hibler said. l'm also going to show them our compus because the first time they didn't get a chance to see it. he added. - Linda Ralhke President Bill Stacy, Entertain- ment Chairman Ken Napier, and Parents' Doy Chairwomon Paula Hemminghaus made Stepping Out in Style a two-doy event.
