ack to the Future Homecoming Week is full of unique events • Patti McCabe The crisp smell of fall swirled through the air, dust- ing our campus with the ex- citement of Homecoming Week. From October 16 through the 2, students bus- tled to and from their classes, trying to find some extra time to work on their dorm ' s float, their sorority ' s banner, and get pledges for their club ' s Super Dance donation. As Saturday drew near, students and alumni filled Athens with party cries and Dawg cheers while they anxiously awaited the Georgia-Ken- tucky game. The homecoming theme, Red and Black to the Fu- ture, was painted on store windows, strung up on ban- ner, and built into floats as clubs, Greeks, and residence halls competed in three cate- gories; Athena, Classic, and Olympic respectively. Each group strived to win the most Homecoming Week events. The competing entries were judged by a panel of alumni, tate legislatures, and other special guests. The judging was based on creativity, per- lormance, and relevance to tlie homecoming theme, KEEPING IT UP — Eddie Johnson, Angle Rehkop, Loopy Ross, and Bill LIday are rocking through the night at the Homecoming Super Dance to help raise money tor Muscular DIstrophy. committee member Eric Le- vinson said.

Competing and non- competing couples danced from o p.m. to 6 a.m. at Tate Centers Georgia Hall to raise money for the Muscular Dis- trophy Association. The couples were provided with dinner, breakfast, re- freshments, door prizes, and all the music and entertain- ment they could stay awake for. It was a blast! said Bill Liday, a senior majoring in micro-biology. They kept us going all night. It just freaks you out to think you were dancing for twelve hour- straight.
