A prize wall be given for the best float,
and the competition promises to be
interesting. Alpha Chi Epsilon, the
chemistry fraternity" will enter a
frothing-burette float, while the Phi
Delta Thetas will parade , a marching
kazoo band.
In addition to the floats, the marching
Tarheel band and the Homecoming
court will participate in the parade.
The CAA has also invited
distinguished alumni and prominent
members of the Chapel Hill community
to form a reviewing stand to judge the
floats. Chapel Hill Mayor Jim Wallace,
Mayor Robert Drakeford of Carrboro,
Edith Elliott, director of the Campus Y,
Athletic Director Bill Cobey, and UNC
President William Friday are among
those invited.
The Homecoming dance featuring
the Tarns will be held Friday night in the
New Tin Can. Tickets are $1 and can be
purchased at the Carolina Union Desk
or at the door. Any profits from the
dance will go to the Bernard Grail
Scholarship fund.
At half-time of the Carolina-Virginia
game, the CAA will present the 1978
Homecoming court and the 1978
Homecoming Queen, elected Thursday
by the student body will be crowned.
Homecoming would not be a
Homecoming, of course, without the
alumni. With this thought in mind, the
Carolina Alumni Association has also
planned a variety of activities. Bo
Dunlap, assistant director of alumni
affairs, said that for many years
Homecoming has been in name only. "It
has been an arbitrarily picked game
with few activities," Dunlap said. In the
past couple of years, we have made an
attempt to revive it."
The major alumni event will be a
dance Saturday night in Woollen Gym.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra will
perform. The dance is open to the
public, and tickets are $5 for students
and $10 for alumni, Kim Hrabak of the
Alumni Association said 850 tickets had
been sold already.
This year marks the third annual
post-game dance sponsored by the
Alumni Association. The tradition
began with a private affair sponsored by
a group of alumni who wanted to bring
back the big band dances in the Tin
Can. Their first dance was so successful
that the association decided to sponsor
Homecoming dances that would be
open to everyone students, faculty
and townspeople as well as alumni.
The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra
starred at the first dance. Last year in
an attempt to vary the big band sound,
the association brought back the
Shirelles, which Dunlap said attracted a
somewhat younger crowd
The association will also sponsor half
time activities. The five surviving
members of the 1916 football team, the
first team to break a 10-year streak of
losing to Virginia, have been invited. So
has William H. Ferguson, oldest
surviving member of any UNC football
team. The 93-year-old Ferguson was a
member of the class of 1910. These
guests will be presented on the field at
half-time. -
The Alumni Mixer, a regular post
game event, will be held as usual at the
Carolina Inn. Hrabak said attendance is
good at these mixers. -"There are
unuallywo to three hundred people at
the mixers," she said. "There is a great
variety in age. A lot of 1978 graduates
come, and we had a man from the class
of 1914 attend once."
Dunlap said that he feels there has
been increased alumni participation in
Homecoming in the past couple of
years. "This increased interest can be
seen in attendance for the dance. Seven
hundred people attended the first one,
and this year we expect 900 to a
thousand.
"The CAA has also realized that
homecoming should Be meaningful.
