Jarents take a tour of the Early Childhood Lab during Saturday ' s activities. W umberjack fans sat on the hillside of Homer Bryce Stadium to watch the game because they found the stands too crowded. Despite the threat of Hurricane Gilbert on Sept. 17, the 1988 Par- ents Day celebration turned out to be a super success for all who participated. SFA parents started their day with a welcome from President Dr. Wil- liam R. Johnson, Dr. Ba- ker Pattillo, vice- president for university affairs, and Parents Day co-chairpersons Doug Love, Huffman senior, and Julie Walter, Missou- ri City senior. Mini- lectures on different sub- jects were presented throughout the morning by various departments on campus. The Dallas Brass Band provided musical enter- tainment during the af- ternoon in Turner Audi- torium. Tours were given throughout the day by different organizations, showing the parents the unique aspects of the campus. The parents were then treated to re- ceptions given by the res- idence halls. This gave the parents a chance to visit their student ' s home away home. As the evening rolled around, parents could at- tend a barbecue held in the SFA Coliseum. The Lumberjack football team brought excitement to the students and par- ents who packed Homer Bryce Stadium after din- ner. The Jacks defeated the Lamar University Cardinals 26-14. A victo- ry dance on the Steen Hall patio ended the day ' s funfilled events. According to Parents Day co-chairperson Doug Love, ' This year ' s event turned out to be very suc- cessful. ' ' J|i any enjoyed the barbecue which was held prior to the football game. f medS day !
