Diplomacy will take the place of
monarchy at this year's homocoming
game at A Utzon Stadium October 30.
The traditional institution of the homo
i oming king and queen has boon abol
ished. and a male and female student will
serve ns the University's ambassadors
instead
"The University decided to get rid of
the homecoming court a few years ago."
said Ann Strapnc. homecoming chair.
“The election of tli«* homecoming ting
and queen was too much of a popularity
contest
The search for student ambassadors is
being conducted by the Student Univer
sity Relations Council, which is part of
the Alumni Association. "We want stu
dents who are active on (ampus and in
their community, and who have main
tained a fairly high grade point average.”
Strupac said "This is no heautv pageant,
nor is it n popularity contest The iimlws
sadors should represent the student hodv
in a positive way."
In addition to earning Rood grades and
tx'ing involved on campus, the ambas
sadors must he juniors or seniors and
must have been enrolled at the Universi
ty for three years.
"We decided that we didn't want trans
fer students, because we wanted students
who have had a full University of Oregon
experience.” Strapac said.
The ambassadors will be announced
during the half-time show at the home
coming football game. There will be no
crowning or rolling, nut the ambassadors
will each lie presented with a flower bou
quet and will leave the stage with Uni
versity President Myles Brand.
'The ambassadors will receive $500 in
U S savings bonds Strapac said. "They
will also get sky suite tickets for the
homecoming game and a dinner for two
at Chantrelle."
The application deadline has been
extended until Friday, Oct. 15. Applica
tions may lie picked up in Room 204
Johnson Hall.
