r Parent ' s Weekend October 2-4, 1981 and Children 1 Visitation, Entertainment, Parent ' s Weekend; the time when my room IS clean, my posture is correct, Pro- fessor Corduan is almost formal, the foot- ball team loses by two touchdowns, my tray gets spilled while walking to the salad bar, my studies gam new and meaningful consistency, and my cheek gets pinched by people I do not know.

I guess that parent ' s weekend exists for three different entities: First, it ' s for the parents to see the school for which they are shelling out thousands of bucks to have little Junior or Susie at- tend. Then, it ' s also for the students who really miss their parents — this is a chance they have to see them without having to pay for gas to go home. And lastly, parent ' s weekend is for the school. I mean, if you get the parents here, they will be more apt to give their money and donations to Taylor. — Tim Cope RIGHT; Dino Kartsonakis provided the classy en- tertainment on the evening of October 2.

' We took it to mean the diver- sity here among T.U. alumni, students, and faculty. Throughout all the differ- ent fields represented, we nonetheless have one thing in common — our ac- knowledgment of knowing Him. — Mark Burkholder and Vicki Cruse, Homecoming co-Chairpersons RIGHT; One of the many activities planned during the weekend was a Mexican Fiesta in the Gymna- sium, complete with Mexican tun and games for all.
