HOMECOMING 1983 UAB sponsored Homecoming '83 with a What A Feeling theme. Jody Pence of UAB Special Events coordinated the activities. This year's Homecoming was an attempt to reinvolve the student body. The results of the efforts were mixed. The competition for King and Queen was fierce, with 14 couples trying for the crown. The Triathlon, a new competition, did not get off of the ground because of a lack of entries. The University Center also got in on the Homecoming activities. Their theme for the week was Puttin' on the Ritz , based on a Fred Astaire song that was remade by the group Taco. Students were treated to O.J. Anderson, The Good-Time Mime , who performed in the Encore. 12
