Professor Explains Homecoming Theme
The purpose of the change in the type of homecoming theme for house decorations this fall is to give alumni a chance to see another side of University life, said the general homecoming chairman.
Richard H. Benson, associate professor of geology, and general chairman of the faculty homecoming committee, said yesterday the decision to revise the type of theme this year was made to give students a better chance at leadership and originality in decorations.
Prof. Benson said the homecoming weekend, with all the celebration and decoration, is designed for visiting alumni. It is usually the only chance a graduate has to come and see the place where most of his ideas were formed, Prof. Benson said.
Rather than having the traditional theme pertaining to defeating an athletic opponent, this year's theme is a translation of the state motto—"To the stars through difficulty."
The image of the University is often conveyed by what the alumni see during that one weekend of the year, he said. The theme for this year is meant to show the broadening of the scope of the University in recent years.
Plans for homecoming decorations for individual groups this year are of better quality than in previous years, he said. The theme gives students more of a chance to express their pride in the University in a
different way, Prof. Benson said.
