Parade coordinator Bill Rush said he had hoped
participation would be larger, but he thought the
parade went well.
Commenting on the festivities, Zamarripa said, “I
was very happy to see such a good turnout and to see
that the students participated so well. It seemed like
we were so united for that day.”
The parade began at 10 a.m. on Mesa and turned
right on Baltimore, where it met the Golddiggers, the
band and the cheerleaders. It then proceeded on
Oregon to University, passing the reviewing stand on
the Union steps.
At the pep rally, conducted by Student Association
President Luz Villegas, students cheered and
presented skits after the introduction of the
homecoming court. Monroe, Zamarripa, and Head
Football Coach Billy Alton addressed the crowd.
The festivities were organized by the Student Pro-
grams Office.

count, making a new allocation necessary.
When asked if she thought the share-a-ride pro-
gram was effective and needed by students, Villegas
said that a survey researching the program’s effec-
tiveness should be started.
The share-a-ride programn allows interested
students to sign a list at registration which indicates
they are interested in carpooling.
The students are later set a computer print-out of
other students in their area who are also interested in
carpooling.
An ad hoc committee composed of Villegas and
council member Chuck Ekleberry gave a report on
their investigation of the possiblilty of University
students receiving discount bus cards.
Villegas said Sun City Area Transit was contacted,
but that company representatives said the company
could not afford discounts for University students at
Building gets new name,
honors past chairperson
The Old Geology Building was renamed Quinn
Hall as a tribute to a man who served the Universi-
ty for 40 years as chairperson of the geology
department.
Howard Quinn, who died Feb. 4, 1976, was
posthumously honored at a Nov. 7 ceremony at-
tended by about 100 people.
Quinn was a very successful man, said G. R.
Keller, present chairperson of the geology depart-
ment. “The success of the graduates from that time
was incredible,” he said.
Keller said that many of the graduates have
become successful in their own right. A few of the
graduates have gone on to owning their own com-
panies or to being vice presidents of oil firms, he
said.
Around 1920 the Old Geology building was the
Chemistry building. Together with the old Mass
Communications building and old Main, these
three buildings were the first ones to be constructed
at this campus site.
In 1950 the Chemistry building was renamed the
Geology building.
In 1976 the Geology building unofficially became
Old Geology to distinguish it from the new
Geology building.
this time.
SCAT offers reduced rates to senior citizens,
medicaid recipients, the handicapped and high school
students.
Officials from the company said that they receive
federal funding to give discounts for the elderly and
the handicapped, but that discounts to high school
students were being paid for from company funds.
University students probably could have received
discounts if the regional transit authority issue had
passed in the last elections, Villegas said.
The discounts would be somewhat of a significant
advantage to University students, said Villegas.
In other matters, the council member of the month
for October was not announced due to a tie.
The outstanding council member will be announc-
ed at the next meeting.
