Page 6 The Clario.^ October 5, 1988 Plans set for ... A different world Homecoming '88 this weekend by Selena Laulerer Homecoming. It’s one of the biggest events of the year, and you won’t want to miss it. The fun begins Friday, Oct. 7, with the Robin Williams fiJm “Good Morning Viet nam” playing in Dunham Auditorium at 8 p.m. Then on Saturday a picnic will be held on the soccer field, followed by a women’s soccer game at l p.m. and a men’s game at 5 p.m. At half time of the men’s game, the Homecoming Court will be presented. The night life consists of a semi-formal dinner with special hours from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Afterward, from 9 p.m. to l a.m., a semi-formal dance with a live band. The Kays, will be held in the Boshamer Gym. The Homecoming Queen, King, Princess, and Prince are going to be an nounced during the dance. The dance’s theme is “A Night on Broadway.” Along with BC’s Homecoming are 11 class reunions being celebrated by Alum ni. The class of 1938 is having its 50th reu nion. Director of Alumni Affairs Betty Neale says she expects over 100 people from the class to attend the weekend festivities. Something new has been added to Homecoming this year. PTK is sponsoring a “Pig Kissing.” Students give mone^'to the teacher they want to see smooch a pig. The kiss is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 8, during the halftime of the men’s soccer game. The donations will be used for the Christian Children’s Fund, Habitat for Humanity, and PTK, respectively. As of press time, Rachel Daniels and Doc Wood have collected the most money, PTK officials report. from page 5 “and stuffed them with colored paper and thought it looked neat.” In Selena Lauterer and Alice Gaines’ room, a beautiful oriental rug blends in wilh the two comfortable pieces of sec tional furniture. “The furniture was given to me from Matt’s (French’s) parents,” says Selena, “and I bought the rug at a flea market for $12.00.” Milk crates and Coca-Cola crates accent any room and are an easy place for storage. Ray Gideon and Rob Miller stack ed 21 crates on top on each other and tied them down. They used the crates for storage of food, books and even put their TV in the middle of the crates. Another nifty way for students to add to their room’s decor is to use contact paper instead of painting which cost students extra money. Paul “Ducky” Dilberger and Todd Oborne plastered one side of their room with a “brick wall.” Ac- ccording to Ducky, the contact paper peels right off without hurting the paint. “I didn’t want it to look like a dorm room,” says Ducky, “I love it,” he adds, “It’s like walking into a different world. BC students are using different kinds of lights in their room. Ducky and Todd have Christmas lights around the ceiling of their room, while Rob and Ray have hanging or naments which light up when a remote control squeaker is turned on. For small rooms, storage is essential. Especially in the closet where closet organizers and plastic storage containers can be used. Stackable crates can be used once again for space saving. Foldable laundry hampers are used by many students who need to save space. Students have found that the space under the bed is a good place for storage also. Students at BC have found numerous ways to decorate their room and still meet college dormitory restrictions.' “This is where you have to stay and study,” says Felicia on decorating your dorm room,“You need to be comfortable.” Kelly adds that a room expresses who you are and that each person has his own way of expressing himself. “This room is our favorite utopia.” says Kelly.
