Daylight-saving time will arrive
just in time to give students an ex
tra hour on an event-packed Hal
loween and Homecoming week
end, which will not leave
students looking for things to do.
Today
Tonight, the School of Music
will kick off the weekend’s events
with the traditional Homecoming
concert. Scott Barkhurst, School of
Music spokesman, said the
school’s top four ensembles, in
cluding the University Singers, the
University Symphony, the Oregon
Wind Ensemble and the Oregon
Jazz Ensemble will perform in
Beall Concert Hall at 7 p.m.
Barkhurst said admission is
free, and the doors will open at
6.30 p.m.
Afterward, students can get
goose bumps at the Cultural Fo
rum’s weekly film series. The
Cultural Forum chose the Danish
vampire movie “Vampyr” as its
Friday night movie on Halloween
weekend. The film will be shown
in Danish with subtitles. It will be
shown at 8 p.m. in 180 PLC. Ad
mission for students is $2.
For those lobking for a more
formal affair, a homecoming ball
will be held tonight. The theme of
the dance is “Masquerade in
Monte Carlo.” There — in addi
tion to dancing — students can
try their luck in the fake casino
that will be set up in the EMU
Ballroom and the adjoining Gum
wood Room.
The last homecoming dance
was in the early 1960s, complete
with the election of a homecom
ing king and queen and a 13-sto
ry-high homecoming bonfire. But
these traditions have since been
smoldered.
Greg Byrd, co-chairman of the
homecoming dance committee
and a senior biology and biochem
istry major, does not want these
traditions to disappear.
Norine Madden, *Iso a co
chairman and senior m ,joring in
general science and his ory, and
Byrd are making sure these home
coming traditions are not forgot
ten.
“This event has been p urpose
fully designed to be all inc' usive,”
Byrd said. “There will be students
there from all over camp as; we
want to make sure that everybody
feels welcome.”
In addition, the events are
sponsored by the Office of Stu
dent Life and University Housing,
said Byron McCrae, assistant
dean of student life.
Some faculty members vill
also join in the homecoming ac
tivities. Chemistry professors
Ralph Barnhard and Jim Lcng
will be helping at the tables in the
casino. Barnhard will be a
roulette dealer, while Long will
work at the blackjack table.
“I think it’s fun,” Long said. “I
am just happy to be a part [of the
event].” He said he is going to buy
a bow-tie for the night.
The homecoming ball will be
held tonight, from 8:30 p.m. to
12:30 a.m. Tickets are nowj avail
able at “The Break,” the EMU
recreation center. Formal dress is
suggested but not required.
Saturday
Throughout homecoming
weekend, there will be a chance
to learn more about the changes
in the University over years.
The University Alumni Associ
ation is sponsoring “Homecom
ing Expo” — an exhibition about
the University’s history — in Ed
Moshofsky Sports Center Plaza on
Saturday between 12:30 p.m. and
3:30 p.m.
Participants will have a chance
to take pictures with the Univer
sity mascot and enter a University
trivia game. In addition, 10 offices
and departments will display in
formation at the exhibition.

Association at 346-5656.
After the Homecoming football
game against the Arizona State
Sun Devils, students will have the
unique opportunity to see come
dian David Spade perform at
McArthur Court.
Tickets for the show are $10 for
students and are still available at
the EMU Ticket Office.
After the David Spade show, the
Office of Student Life will offer a

Donna Leavy, office manager at

bagel shops are donating other

The International Students As
