Itls Not All Greek to Me . Wl'oo many times Homecom- ing is considered a Greek event, but it's not meant to ,be that way. All Campus Events puts on Homecoming for the campus, and that means any campus organization is asked to participate. l' lhl'm glad to see that Greve and Massey did take the initiative to participate. 'l l . tAn interest has always been there, but one of the major pro- blems for the resident halls is funding. Massey and Greve felt that this year they could raise enough funds to pitticipate. They decided they would and they did. And I'm glad. it What we did was ask Ben Harrington of Fraternity Affairs what they predicted would be an organizationls cost for Homecoming. From there the halls raised as much as they V could through their own fund- 1 raising projects, and then we lUnited Residents Hall Councili gave them 5100 extra. wl'he desire to participate in Homecoming has always been present, especially in the East Area, where there is less of a Greek population. llWe hope to get involved with All Sing andlor Camicus, too. It looks like we just might, if not this year, the next. I've been talk- ing to a few of the Head Residents and theylve expressed an interest. bbl'm glad to see more of us non-Greeks getting involved. We will definitely get more involved with Homecoming, but as far All Sing and Carnicus, it's just mat- ter of getting started? -Pat Hunt, Junior in Marketing, ' and President of UHRC

Party Week we tmw thw icture this: windows on the strip depict strange and unusual scenes of Smokey and something resembling a tiger, the streets are littered with those bother. some little square sheets of tissue paper, and people are carrying this giant painted canvas towards the stadium at 6 a.m. t m V Ni'MeKaia 2a mm v ngWug 1: w g2 0vaky$gj wt. m gsgiggggxwwgmmghmamt 2;; W What is this weird metamorphosis that transforms the campus and where are all the people? Well, the occasion is Homecoming and the people are likely to be found pomping floats or yard displays, building soap box cars, or painting banners and windows. At the beginning of the week, the at- mosphere is a lighthearted one, even resembling a party. But time becomes a precious commodity as the week pro- gresses and groups rush to finish floats on time. Hours spent studying, sleeping or attending classes are often sacrificed for the highly competitive Homecoming M E :gfszm meNM Moreover, there is a tfestive energy' teachers turn a blind eye to those who skip class and putting students in a party frame of mind. Homecoming can be seen as a good excuse to throw a party, but at the same time, it takes a lot of hard work, participation and school spirit, said Clark Gray of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. The late hours and missing a few classes here and there are all worth it in the end. They make for yet another Homecoming tradition. 4 -by Laura Hayden Large Float Banner Sig EpXTri Delt 1 .
