New events, high enthusiasm
pervade Homecoming ‘85

Beautiful weather, new attrac
tions, a high intensity of student
and alumni enthusiasm, and a
Fightin’ Christian victory over
Lenoir-Rhyne made this year’s
Homecoming a success that has
left everyone at Elon smiling.
The most smiles came from the
Homecoming court representing
the various organizations at Elon
College.
Ann Jividen, representing
Sigma Phi Epsilon fnttemity, was
named the 1985 Homecoming
Queen. Elizabeth Wirth,
representing Kappa Sigma frater
nity, was named the first runner-
up. Beth Burroughs, representing
Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity,
was the second runner-up. Sara
Boone, representing the Gospel
Choir, was named the third
runner-up.
During the football game,
many alumni enjoyed seeing each
other and remembering old times
at Elon.
“One of the best things about
the football game was not the
game itself, but it was looking
around and seeing fraternity
brothers and friends that you had
so many good times with,” said
Dave Harrell, class of ‘85.
Alumni in fraternities and
sororities had a busy Saturday
evening shuffling between their
various fraternity banquets held at
area hotels and restaurants and
the Alumni Dance held at the
Ramada Inn.
“It’s just a great time to be had
by all,’’ said Mark Nisbit, class
of‘82.
Besides the many activities on
Saturday including a president’s
coffee, a soccer game, and the
final holes of the alumni golf
tournament, Friday proved
almost as exciting.
For the first time in the history
of the college, Elon had a
Homecoming parade. The floats
and cars carrying the various
Homecoming representatives
proved a delight for the estimated
2,000 spectators who watched it.
The 25 organizations who
entered the parade began their
procession at 3:15 p.m. in the
parking lot next to the lacrosse
field. The procession sounded
like a Bruce Springsteen concert
as it went up O’Kelley Avenue
and took a right on Highway
100,passed to the cheering
studoits and faculty as well as the
judges in fnmt of the college.
The procession then circled the
area of the campus which lies on
the inside of the wall. Area
citizens waved to the participaitts
and elementary school children
smiled with delight as the floats
passed by their enchanted eyes.
Tau Kappa Epsilon’s eight-foot
replica of the Fightin’ Christian
was a particular favorite among
the youngsters.
“The parade was outstan
ding,” said Shane Jones, presi
dent of the Student Government
Association.
Phi Mu was awarded $500 for
its float entry .and $350 will go to
United Way. Their float was
decorated with a mock pink
cadillac and their sisters and
sweetheart, Jimmy English, sang
Bruce Springsteen tunes.
Tau Kappa Epsilon and the
combination entry of Zeta Tau
Alpha and Kappa Alpha each
received S200 for their floats.
TKE and ZTA/KA gave all of
their prize money to United Way.
On Friday evening, an
estimated 1,000-1,300 students
attended a concert in Alumni
Gymnasium. The band Sugar-
creek delighted many students by
playii^ original songs and current
hits in two 75-minute sets.
David Atkins, director of stu
dent activities, said that the con
cert “went real well” and that
there were “no problems” with
alcohol or anything else. Atkins
said he Id like to see nwre such
concerts.
Jones said the the concert was
“one of the best run and best
presented SUB productions in a
long time.”
The only thing about
Homecoming that bothered Jones
was that no activites were plann
ed for the students immediately
following the game.
However, Jones is optimistic
about ftiture Homecomings. “As
as we keep activities on cam
pus, things will work well,” he
said.
