Many business owners said they expected an in crease in sales and crowds browsing at their stores. Hudson also said other factors, such as if the team won or lost and the visiting team, were important to the in crease in weekend business. Some businesses, such as The Shrunken Head Boutique, will run special promo tions during Homecoming weekend. “This year we’re giving away some thing to the men and women who come in the store, though we can’t say what,” said Shelton Henderson, the store’s owner.

They know they can get consis tent, good food. Some alumni don’t even get menus anymore,” said Reed Raynor of The Rathskeller restaurant, which is pre paring for its 48th Homecoming. Raynorsaidthe secret to managing large crowds over Homecoming was having employees that knew how to handle it. He said The Rathskeller would probably sta tion people outside to handle the lines and assure the people that, “you can get in the door in 20 minutes and eat in 20 minutes," Raynor said. A problem that aroselastyearduetothe large crowds in the stores was shoplifting. Stores are planning extra precautions for the weekend to alleviate the rush due to the increased patronage. “There will be a lot of extra traffic. All the managers will be on duty,” said Alicia Hardin, general manager of Johnny T- Shirt. She said she had started to train staff for shoplifting awareness. At many businesses, employees will be stationed throughout the store to watch for shoplifters and assist shoppers to speed up the flow of people through the store. “We HOMECOMING 1995 Business & Advertising Staff Business and Advertising: Kevin Schwartz, director/ general manager.
