Villie Chong Brings Homecoming to Campus The 1958 Homecoming Committee faced a defi- nite problem. With fire and county regulations ruling out a Homecoming parade, Chairman Willie Chong and his committee decided to bring Homecoming back to the SC campus by means of establishing a new divi- sion of Homecoming called Troyland. This event al- lowed both men ' s and women ' s living groups to work together and at the same time. As you will see on page 19, Troyland was definitely a success! Another prob- lem was present, that of time. Rushing was just over for the fraternities and sororities, and S-week e.xams were just around the corner. None the less, there were scores of entries in House Decorations, Trolios and Troyland. When the smoke had cleared, the judges found the Sig Eps and Teke ' s winning fraternity sweep- stakes, and the Thetas capturing the sororitv sweep- stakes. Willie, a senior majoring in Art and Design, has been active in every phase of campus activities. He has worked on Trojan Chest, Homecoming and Troy Camp. He has been a member of Squires and all his Class councils. This vear finds Willie also active in Trojan Knights, Blue Key, Songfest Committee, and the Community Service Advisory Board.
