Homecoming spirit Participation was all part of the fun By Valerie Dennis and Mike Roberts Eighteen groups took part in the Homecoming Spirit Challenge, making for the most exciting and challenging compe- tition possible. I though it was much better than last year ' s because there were more par- ticipants, and a higher level of enthusiasm, said Student Aaivities Direc- tor Bob Glenn. Homecoming events included an Effigy Contest, Banner Contest, Window Painting Contest, Pep Rally Spirit Contest, Step Show, and Homecoming Parade. The Effigy Contest was an event where each group built TSU Trojans. Judging was based on appearance, creativity, and humor. At the end of the event the par- ticipants brought their entries to the bon- fire. The overall winner of the contest was the Residence Hall Association. The men ' s division was won by Phi Gamma Delta. Alpha Delta Pi took first in the women ' s division. In the coed division of the Banner Con- test the Residence Hall Association took first place. Phi Gamma Delta and Alpha Gamma Delta were the winners in the men ' s and women ' s divisions. In the Red Hot Prof Contest each group nominated one faculty or staff member. The student body had the opportunity to vote on their favorite candidate at one penny per vote. In the coed division Dr. Jack Sellers won; Bud Smith and Jayne Prude were winners in the men ' s and women ' s divisions. In the Window Painting Contest, each group was assigned a downtown business window. Using water colors participants demonstrated their school spirit. Winners were Phi Gamma Delta, Omega Phi Alpha and Catholic Campus Ministry. The Homecoming Parade Float contest was broken down into two divisions. The winner of the mini-float was Baptist Campus Ministries. Class A Float winners were Alpha Gamma Delta and Phi Gamma Delta. At the Pep Rally held in the Memorial Amphitheatre, the winners were deter- mined on the basis of participation from group members. Winners included Baptist Campus Ministries, Sigma Chi and Phi Mu. In the Step Show Competition, entries participated in a dance contest. Over $4,000 was raised and donated to the United Way. Alpha Gamma Delta, Sigma Chi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon took first place in each event. To finish the week of Homecoming Events a Bonfire was held where the effi- gies were burned. After points were totaled from each event. Phi Gamma Delta, Black Student Alliance and Alpha Gamma Delta walked away with overall first place. I was very pleased at the way every- one joined into the spirit of the thing. It was everything you ' d want Homecoming to be, Dr. Glenn said. The bonfire gaiv students the opportunity to s ioir some fiery sehool spirit Effigies of Troy State Trojans were heaped on the fire, along with anything eJse that wasn t nailed down.
