A BARK OF DISTINCTION The skits ' competition fin- als and the pep rally were also held on the same day as the parade. Preliminaries for the skits were held one week before Homecoming and were judged by three Athens school teachers. Missy Cor- dell, a junior finance pre law major and chairperson of the skit committee said, The skit presentations were great in ' 88 because of the in- creased student participa- tion. The winners of the skit competition finals were: for Classic League, Alpha Gamma Delta and Phi Kap- pa Psi; for Olympic League, Creswell Community; for Athena League, Baptist Stu- dent Union. The day before the foot- ball game, Vince Dooley got the spirit moving at the pep rally on Legion Field. After this pep talk and the intro- duction of the Homecoming court, awards were presented to the winners of each divi- sion in the following catego- ries: Superdance, window painting, skit finals, banner competition, and parade float competition. Finally, the Homecoming festivities came to an end with the football game be- tween our Bulldogs and the Indians, the crowning of Miss Homecoming, the an- nouncement of the overall winners of each competing division, and the celebration of Franco-Georgia Day. Dur- ing halftime, Susan Golden, sponsored by BSU, was crowned Miss Homecoming. The overall winners were: for Classic League, Delta Gam- ma and Beta Theta Pi; for Athena League, Wesley Foundation; and for Olympic League, Reed Community. Also, President Knapp hon- ored the diplomats from France, Richard Tardits, a native Frenchman who plays for the Bulldogs, and Mr. and Mrs. Tardits to recog- nize the friendly relations between France and Georgia. To sum up, Georgia House, a member of the ACHC, said, The traditional Homecom- ing week once again gave our student body a chance to show how spirited and uni- fied we are. The students ' participation is definitely what made Homecoming 1988 a tremendous success. ■■■ : :;

The summer of 1988 brought a great deal of ex- citement to the South and expecially to the state of Georgia when our capital city Atlanta was chosen to be the site of the Democratic National Convention. For about 10 days in July, Atlan- ta was the focus of the nation and much of the world as Democrats from far and wide arrived bringing with them reporters, celebrities, and people galore to join in the festivities of nominating a Democratic candidate for the presidency. Many politically minded University students took ad- vantage of the fact that At- lanta is only an hours drive from Athens and took jobs working and volunteering at the Omni Convention Center where the politicians and delegates met during their stay in Atlanta. President of the Young Democrats of UGA David Johnson said, It was a great experience to work for the Party at the Convention. It was good that Atlanta and the South were the focus of the nation dur- ing the convention because it showed that Atlanta is a growing and vibrant city. Other University students were excited by all the celeb- rities who were out and about in Atlanta during the Convention. Notable brat- packers Rob Lowe, Judd Nelson, and Ally Sheedy were spotted at many of At- lanta ' s hot spots like Ru- perts in Buckhead. Senior Speech Communications major Ann Havick said, It was real exciting to go out to the clubs and think Tom Cruise could walk in at any minute! In the end, the Democrats nominated Mike Dukakis, known affectionately as The Duke, and Lloyd Bentsen from Texas to be their nominees for president and vice-president, respec- tively, in the 1988 election! All things considered this past Summer was an exciting time for our state and her capital as the spotlight of the nation was on us during such an important event. Amid all the pageantry and excite- ment of the convention there was also the underlying pride felt by Georgians for their wonderful capital — Atlanta! Dukakis, Lloyd Bentsen, and Jesse Jack- together in AtlanU proc . for each other and the Demc lent aiid delegate froi wie Stuckey leaves n ere her support lies. Mm
