Taking a look at the festivities planned at Navy's October homecoming

As UNC gears up for its Home
coming game against Navy, the U.S.
Naval Academy will celebrate its
homecoming weekend Oct. 27-29,
said Ken Busik, executive director of
the alumni association.
Alumni are a big part of the Home
coming celebration, Busik said. All
alumni are invited as well as the
midshipmen, students of the Acad
emy. The fifth-year reunion class is
particularly featured, Busik said. Each
class member is presented with a gold
certificate.
The festivities begin Friday, Oct.
27, with a parade, Busik said. The
midshipmen dedicate the parade to
all visiting alumni. The president and
executive director of the alumni as
sociation, the president of the fifth-
year reunion class and the comman
dant midshipman the second man
in charge at the Academy all re
view the parade.
Alumni are also involved in sev
eral sports tournaments with the
midshipmen, Busik said. These tour
naments include golf, baseball, la
crosse, squash and distance running.
Then there is a pep rally, said Carol
Feldmann, spokeswoman for the
Academy. The brigade commander
is responsible for the spirit during
both the pep rally and the game.
The midshipmen take their role as
spirit providers seriously, Feldmann
said.
"They consider themselves a part
of the football team." The midship
men march to the game in formation,
Feldmann said.
That evening, alumni and midship
men are invited to the "World's Larg-

est Cocktail Party," Busik said. This
party at Dahlegren Hall involves din
ner and dancing, Busik said. Tickets
are $20 per person, and the affair is
limited to 4,000 people. It will last
until the "wee" morning hours.
Saturday morning before the game,
each alumni class has a tailgating
party, Busik said. Instead of the trunk
of a car, alumni of various classes
dine under tents. Individual caterers
provide the food. The visiting team,
James Madison University, will also
have tailgating tents.
At halftime, presentations are
made, Busik said. This year, a side
walk at the Academy will be dedi
cated for a former superintendent who
died last year. After the game that
afternoon, each class will sponsor its
own affair.
Sunday morning, everyone will
attend chapel, the final activity for
the homecoming weekend, Busik said.
"This is a chance to get every
body together and see how the
school's doing."
The Academy expects a large turn
out for homecoming weekend, Busik
said. Even though the number of
people attending the various func
tions must be limited, the stadium
will be filled to capacity, which is
about 30,000. A good percentage of
those attending the game will be
alumni.
The midshipmen are not very in
volved in the planning of the outside
functions, Feldmann said.
