Forest football game, alumni from the 1990,
1985, 1980 and 1975 classes will attend
events throughout the weekend at a gen
eral alumni reunion and the 15th annual
Black Alumni Reunion (BAR).
The number of alumni returning for the
BAR has increased steadily every year,
said Joy Paige, BAR committee chair
woman.
More than 400 alumni will return this
year, making it the largest BAR reunion to
date.
Paige said she believed more alumni
were interested in attending class reunions
HOMECOMING 1995
because the reunions would be held on
Homecoming weekend.
Laurie Norman, director of alumni ac
tivities, said returning alumni who were
informed about University events were
more supportive of the University and its
alumni organization.
“The fact that Homecoming is the same
weekend as reunions is an added opportu
nityto market comingbackto Chapel Hill,”
Norman said.
“The overall goal of any reunion is to
rekindle love for the University and to get
alumni involved and informed about the
University.”
This year’s BAR will be the second held
on a Homecoming weekend, and students
will mingle with alumni in a “Cultural
Extravaganza” at 8 p.m. Friday in the
Great Hall.
The Black Student Movement Gospel
Choir and the Ebony Readers will perform
at the event, which will be free to students,
Paige said.
“That was one thing alumni had asked
for—more involvement with undergradu
ate students in more ways,” Paige said.
Niquelle Allen, Homecoming commit
tee chairwoman for the Carolina Athletic
Association, said alumni were encouraged

“One of our big events that really gets
alumni as well as students involved is the
pep rally and the parade,” Allensaid. “Hav
ing an event that is very well-attended is
always a plus.”
Norman said: “As we are installing a
new chancellor, these reunions are a great
opportunity for alumni to leant about and
be brought up to date with the issues and
challenges facing the University.”
The Harvey Elliott Beech Distinguished
Alumni Award and the Faculty award will
be presented at a BAR awards breakfast
Sunday, and Chancellor Michael Hooker
