STUDENT LIFE ♦ A Xlu the homecoming pep rally Mark Bray, Anthony Cantrell and Jeremy Stone holler and scream during the living group competition. ♦ M. Roberts photo After incoming freshmen completed the transformation of dusty residence hall rooms and apartments into homes, the year began with a bang. ♦ Students said farewell to Barnhill Arena and watched with anticipation as the Bud Walton Arena rose from a large hole and became a major college athletic facility. ♦ Arkansas Gov. and former UA law professor Bill Clinton made his mark by not only coming back to visit the University, but also by winning the Nov. 3 presidential election and becoming the third-youngest president of the United States as well as the first from Arkansas. ♦ After making a grand impression on the campus through her efforts to raise school spirit as a Razorback cheerleader, junior Kim Polite was chosen homecoming queen. Even though the football game ended in defeat, a new mark was made since it was the team’s first year in the Southeastern Conference. ♦ From pep rallies and rock climbing to competing in the Miss UA pageant, students found ways to either fit into the crowd or stand out. 4 Student Life

int on linton Oton “Old Main embodies the best in our long history - love of learning, opportunity for all, reverence for tradition, courage to change. Carry it on!” WELCOME HOME GOV. BILL Welcoming home Gov. Bill Clinton, an excited crowd waves signs and cheers as he outlines his plan for the nation. Returning to the University was an emotional trip for Clinton who used to teach at the law school. J. Teeter photo Bill Clinton scribbled this brief message on a second floor office wall in Old Main — symbolic of higher education in Arkansas — along with his signature. The message was written behind a bookshelf in the office of Bill Schwab, chairman of the Sociology Department. It originally was meant to be hidden behind some books, so that the next person using the office would discover the signature of a past gover- nor, the president, on his wall. Schwab’s office was being used as a holding room for the Clinton entourage while he was on campus. THUMBS UP Pleased to be back where it all began, Democratic presidential candidate Bill Clinton gives the thumbs-up sign to the 10,000 supporters gathered on the Old Main lawn on Friday, Oct. 23. B.
