Redeye is like an all night party that took up the whole union. They had events that most students wouldn’t have a chance to do. Hollywood on the Hill, let us do lots of things. The spotlight attracted 90 percent of the students. The Bob Hope Golf Classic was great and when someone missed people oooed and awwed and it was funny. It was like a real tournament. ALLISON DYKE PAINT BY NUMBERS Each year at Redeye, the visitors can expect to find a certain man in the Arkansas Union drawing people with colored chalk. Ray Cook, a caricature artist, has been at Redeye for seven years. Crystal Morris is sitting patiently while Cook sketches her image, which will soon become an incredible likeness. W.

UNDER THE LIGHTS, APPROXIMATELY 51,000 FOOTBALL FANS VISITED CAMPUS TO WATCH THE RAZORBACKS DO A LITTLE BEAR O n home ' coming weekend the entire state of Arkansas was issued a license to bear hunt, as long as it was Baylor Bears in the vicinity of the University ' s football stadium. It was a great honor to represent Arkansas and the University as the 1989 Homecoming Queen. As I walked onto the field the excitment of the fans overwhelmed me. At that moment everyone at the game was watching me. It was a very exciting moment in my life. AMBER INGRAM BY LIZ VANZANT Barbecued bear was on the menu during Homecoming weekend, and not only did the football team get to pig out, but the entire student body did also. University Programs sponsored the Bear-B-Que for students which featured eight to 10 pounds of bear meat (that came from Chicago not Waco) as well as barbecued chicken and hot dogs. Because of the high cost of bear meat, students were only able to get a bite to taste the “delicacy,” but 1,000 students did just that. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission also became interested and called to asked the source of the bear meat. Since hunting bear is illegal in Arkansas, the university catering service had to show proof of purchase. Students, like freshman Lane Burrow, said they enjoyed the free food. “IPs a real good idea—I’m tired of eatingat the house, and besides that you can’t screw up a hot dog,” Burrow said. Senior Vikki Cox, agreed. “It’s a really good way to boost University spirit.” Another pre-game activity to boost spirit was the pep rally at the Greek Theater. The Booster Club introduced and escorted the Home¬ coming court. Senior Laura Beth Branch, a Phi Mu, said she was honored to represent the school as a member of the Homecoming court. “It was neat being in front of all the Greeks at the pep rally,” Branch said. “I felt special being escorted on stage.” “The band gave people a chance to dance and really have fun,” freshman Kris Ewards said. When the Homecoming festivities moved to Razorback stadium for the first football game played in the stadium at night, hunting bear, at least Baylor Bears, was no longer illegal. With stadium lights trucked in from Iowa, sports fans across the nation were able to watch the game on the ESPN sports network. Arkansas beat Baylor, 19-10, in front of a crowd of more than 51,000. The traditional Homecoming halftime ceremonies, with the theme “The Great Comeback,” featured alumni cheerleaders and the crown¬ ing of queen Amber Ingram. ROTC Cadets from Arnold Air Society and Angel Flight members presented a flag that had flown over Old Main to Gov. Bill Clinton in honor of national POW MIA Week, a week that was set aside to insure that Vietnam prisoners of war and those missing in action would not be forgotten. The flag was later flown over the capitol in Little Rock on Memorial Day. Ingram, a social work major from Ft. Smith, represented Kappa Kappa Gamma. She was joined by court members senior Sharon Ed¬ wards, junior Bernadette Barry, senior Laura Beth Branch and senior Lauren Malpica. Homecoming ’89 proved to be a success as it not only honored history but made a little, too. • Homecoming
