SUPPOSEDLY THERE IS a fire engine under there. But, you could have fooled me. I SURE HOPE nobody has a fire. If the city takes back their fire truck, it ' ll ruin the whole thing. OUR NEXT NUMBER will be the Moonlight Sonata. WOULD YOU BELIEVE that these two lovely, young ladies can outshout over half of the student body? WELL LOOK, if we just call it a fire drill, will that keep you happy? ' ' i LJ J,lli U qQ dm !,j IJ 1 W ' --- ' ■■■ ■ ' ' ' ii ' ' ' ' ' in ' • -m.

I DON ' T CARE if your name is Dr. Miller, you ' ll have to wait in line like everybody else! Friday is a Ijusy day on Homecoming weekend. The day is called Hoedown Day, and everyone is to dress accordingly. If yon suddenly feel the urge to wear one green and one blue sock, a bright blue shirt, orange pants and shower clods to class, this is the day to do it. A jazz concert is featured in the afternoon in the Fieldhouse. The modern jazz group of Lambert, Hendricks and Ba ' an were featured this year. The evening brings a fanatic pep rally. The pep rally starts in front of the Student Center with the number of students growing constantly. Then a snake dance starts and winds its way across West Michigan A enue, tying up traffic for blocks. As the snake dance passes the dorms, more and more people flock out. Finally behind ' ood Hall the band strikes up the fight song and a giant bonfire is lighted. The team is presented by the fire light and a loud speaker liooms in the background. Skyrockets zoom upward to hail tlie anticipated victory. It ' s all part of Home- coming. IF I PROMISE to be good from now on, will you help mc count the rest of the votes? LAMBERT, HENDRICKS AND BAVAN provide the most contempo- rary jazz available. PASS the marshmallows.

THE NEWEST big band sounds by the Peter Palmer Orchestra entertain at the Brown Dance in the Fieldhouse. THE QUEEN and Her court. From left to right: Algul Engin, Elaine Coates, Jean Poland, Bev Pink and Queen, Judy Baunigartner in the center. HOMECOMING 1962 Music in the air, that favorite guy and gal, a thou- sand parties and dances— take your choice. It ' s a sure thing that no one complains of boredom this weekend. On Saturday night the major all campus events are the Brown and Gold Dances. And, if you qualify, there is always the Alumni Dance in the Ballroom of the University Student Center. This year the sounds of Peter Palmer and Glenn Miller filled the P.E. Building and the Oakland Gym. You could dance at one dance until 11:00 and tlien go to the other if you wished. After the dance, well, every man to his own poison. At 2:00 AM all the coeds turn into dormitories and homecoming ends for another year. It ' s not really too disappointing though; it ' ll start all oxer again next October. 14
