Homecoming to boast
y Kt4th Alftwln
Opinion t-cHtor
Homecoming weekend will include new
activities including a parade and USO
show and a new emphasis on involving
current ACU students.
A Homecoming parade will begin Oct 26
at 5 p.m. at the Big Purple Stomping
Grounds and will travel around much of the
perimeter of the campus.
All on-campus organizations are
encouraged to participate in the parade.
"Anybody who would like to participate
'wo really want them to put in a float or
have some kind of representation there in
the parade" said Donny Vaughn co-
chairman and senior advertising major from
Uttlefield.
Homecoming activities in the past have
included a parade but this will bo the first in
several years said Carol Tabor director of
alumni activities.
Greater involvement in Homecoming
activities also may bo encouraged by a new
committee the freshman activities
committee.
SA to conduct
Beach Bash IV
By Katrmln Potaat
Staff Assistant
Students may wiggle their toes In 10
truckloads of sand on tho intramural fields at
iho Students' Association Beach Bash IV
from 7-1 1p.m. Friday.
Approximately 1200 people have
attended in past years and the SA is
expecting even more this year said Dennis
Coleman SA special activities committee
chairman.
"This year has the potential to be tho
biggest and the best because or the
entertainment and the amount of time that
went into it" said Coleman senior human
funding has been toward scholarships. In
1988-89 1500 students received an average
of $1800 and in 1989-90 1700 students
received an average of $2300.
"In the Financial Aid Office we view our
Job as trying to find the most money for the
most students" he said
Although tuition has increased by 40
percent over the put three years financial
aid has increased by 68 percent Linder said.
"We've been trying to have our financial
aid percentage-wise be even greater than
tuition" he said.
Nationally only 4 percent of financial aid
comes through job but at ACU 9 percent
of the money comes through employment.
Fifty-two percent of financial aid nationally
is funded by loans but at ACU 46 percent
of the total amount of financial aid is
borrowed money Linder said.
"I do not know of a family that cannot get
at least a loan to help with college
expenses" he said. "Between work and
loans that are available everybody should
be able to gel some help."
"We've got a lot of energy there in the
freshman class and a lot of them really want
to do some things" Vaughn said. "We're
looking at a pep rally possibly put on
entirely by tho freshman class and maybe a
tailgate party for the game things like
that so that they'll know that they are
involved with Homecoming from the start"
Another addition to the Homecoming
schedule of events is a variety show
featuring alumni performers. The guest host
of ACU's USO Show Oct. 27 will be
McLean Stevenson of television show
WA'Snrfame.
Some of the performers who have been
scheduled Tor the show are saxophonist Eric
Wilson; the Hllltoppers a popular '70s
group; and the Stcffin Sisters who have had
several albums and are "really big in
Europe" Tabor said.
"The entertainment that so far has
committed is incredible it's professional-
level" site said.
She said a major focus is to try to get
current students to want to go to tho variety

"We want to get as much participation
from everybody as possible" Tabor said.
"Homecoming as long as I have been here
has been attractive to everybody except the
students that are here. The current students
don't have anything to do unless you're in a
social club and can work on a mall display."
Vaughn said many more organizational
receptions also arc scheduled this year.
He and Heather O'Brien senior
accounting major from Dallas and
Homecoming co-chairwoman chose the
theme "Dreams to Remember" this summer.
"When these alumni were in school they
had dreams of what their lives would be
like and now-that they're out of school they
can remember those dreams" Vaughn said.
