I I Contest’s incentives upped This.year dorm residents will have an extra incentive to create, a winning poster for the annual Homecoming sign contest. . •. In addition to prize money of fered by the Student University. Relations Council', residents also will contend for a $100 prize awarded by the Residence - Governing Committee. The extra prize money is: an attempt to. spur enthusiasm in Homecoming -activities; says Heidi Voet. a resident assistant at Moore Hall and organizer of dorm Homecoming activies. ”1 think it (the prize)' will, make the sign contest better. than it has been in previous years,” says Jeff Barron, a Car son Hall resident assistant. The annual sign-making con test is open to dorms, sororities, fraternities and community groups. Participants must make a sign with this year’s “Welcome Home” theme, and must use no more than $50 worth of materials. Despite the promise of a $100 award to the winning sign’s .. dorm, Voet admits that there still doesn’t seem to be,much involvement. „ *‘l think a lot of K.At.s*just aren't motivating their residents ' to get into it,” Voet says. ' “Maybe if we would- have started organizing the activities, sooner we could have got more . students involved.” .. Because the event's planning • started just one month ago and ‘.Voet is essentially the only R.A. working .on the project, the dorms never really got off the ground, she says. Not all of the dorm residents are apathetic about the Homecoming festivities, however,’ Voet adds. The age of residents has a lot to do with enthusiasm. “My dorm is older residents, so they aren't really into it,” Barron says. But Voet, who has all but two freshman in her co-ed dorm, says hef residents are really ex cited about the competition. “One reason the freshmen are more into it is because they remember Homecoming in high school when it was a big deal,” she says.
