SFA ' s Homecoming - Texas Proud What comes to mind when you think of the month of October? You might think of cooler weather, Halloween and Homecoming. SFA-Texas Proud was the theme for the 58th annual Homecoming celebration. Homecoming activities began on Oct. 14, with window painting in the U.G. Various organizations, resident halls, fraternities and sororities used their creative painting skills that could be traced back to the days of cut, paste and color in Sunday school. Delta Tau Delta fraternity won the window painting contest. And what would Homecoming be without being bombarded by Home- coming court candidates campaigning to win a position on the Homecoming court? Candidates began campaigning on Oct. 6 until election day Wed. Oct. 8. Candidates are chosen by majority vote, but there ' s usually a run-off election, Jay Coppack, Montgomery senior and SGA Homecoming Com- mittee Chairman said. The top two candidates are in the run-off election. The 1986 Homecoming court was: Queen—Ardyce Doty, Houston senior; King—Greg Robinson, Houston senior; Princess- Kathi Jameton, Houston sen- ior; Prince— Todd Utz, Houston senior; Junior Duke-Sam Mallow, Houston; Junior Duchess— Kim Campo, Pasade- na; Sophomore Duke— Troy Stracener, Bastrop; Sophomore Duchess—Jenice Thornton, Richardson; Freshman Duke--Jeff Maxwell, Richardson; Freshman Duchess--Amy Charba, Brookshire. Basically, it was an all-greek Homecoming court, Coppock said. Oct. 17 was a busy day, with various Homecoming activities going on across campus such as resident halls and fraternity and sorority houses being judged for decorations. The RHA executive officers, advisor and assistant advisor judged the various halls. We look for orginality, creativity and hall participation when we judge, Kim Smajstrla, Houston senior and RHA president said. North and Griffith halls tied for first place. The Most Spirited hall was Griffith Hall. Winners of house decorations were: first place— Sigma Kappa sorority; sec- ond place— Sigma Chi fraternity.
