Austin, Anne Drips, Colleen
Pang, Frank Reasoner and Grant

The new ambassadors will be

Twelve students applied and
the four newest ambassadors
were selected by seven judges
representing both the Universi

“1 couldn’t believe how
tough it was deciding this
year,” Wong says.
The ambassadors will par
ticipate in the Town and Gown
Light Parade on Friday, as well
as other University and alumni
events throughout the year.

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.
