COUNTRY BOY CD. — on his own and with some help from the band. An enthusiastic, country-style audience. Stout ' s P.C.D.C. provided the students of the university with two major concerts. The first of these was the Charlie Daniels concert. Early in the evening, a line could be seen forming around the fieldhouse. For the first time at Stout, about one half of the students in this line were decked out in Western gear — complete with cowboy hats (an unusual sight, indeed, for Northern Wisconsin). The warm-up band, Rusty Wehr, got the crowd ready for CD. Daniels and his band provided Stout students with plenty of country-rock, including some favorites: Orange Blossom Special, Long Haired Country Boy, and The South ' s Gonna Do It. After a few encores, everybody headed back home or downtown. The cowboy hats were placed back on the shelf along with another memory.

Homecoming Weekend was one of the busiest at U.W. Stout. Not only were we provided with the game and the dance, but with many other activities as well. The alumni put on an art exhibit, the Symphonic Singers sold caramel apples, Bill Camplin performed in the Pawn, the Atrocious Beauty contest was presented— the list goes on and on. There were the traditional activities: the parade, the coronation, and the half-time show. If these did not fill your weekend, parties were being held continuously. Perhaps the most startling event of Homecoming 76 was the riot downtown. Things did not get out of hand, but some people were quite shaken (not to mention their cars). Certainly, this was a memory-filled weekend.
