Welcome Home
—Daily Colletian Photo by George Harrison
A CROWD of approximately 500 students watch the return of
the defeated football team from Syracuse Saturday night. The bus
arrived at 10:20 p.m. in front of Recreation Hall.
Five Hundred Students Laud
Football Team at Pep Rally
Approximately five hundred students were on hand to
cheer the disappointed and tired football team Saturday
night upon its arrival at Recreation Hall from Syracuse.
As the bus neared Rec Hall a
hush came over the formerly'
noisy crowd and everybody ran
to greet the players.
A few lusty students started to!
sing **Victory" and within a few;
seconds everyone else had joined:
in. As the team climbed out of;
the bus the crowd gave a short;
yell state followed by a short veil'
team.
'Blue and While' Sung
While the players walked into
Rec Hall the crowd concluded',
with "Blue and White" and ev-•
erybody walked quietly away.
Although there was no Blue
Band and no cheerleaders on'
hand to lead the crowd in its:
songs and cheers, the relatively
small group showed the team that
they were proud of them—win or
lose.
'Odd' Group Attends
To an outsider standing by, thei
group that showed up for the pep,
rally must have seemed like a'
very odd bunch. One of the frat-1
ernities was having a belated Hal--;
loween party and it came out in
full force dressed up in weird ap
parel. Others were dressed for
regular Saturday night dates. '
Before the. arrival of the bus
the "students couldn't seem to con-I
trol their spirit. Everybody wasl
singing, laughing and throwing,
jokes back and fourth during the!
20-minute wait before the red'
blinking light of the bus appeared
down the road.
'Coupon Clipping Caper
Proves Unsuccessful
A coupon "Good for $lO on any
used car on our lot" was printed
in an advertisement appearing in
the University of Oklahoma stu
dent newspaper.
A student showed up at the lot
the next day with 150 coupons
and demanded a $1,500 car free.
The student still has his cou
!puns and is still afoot, according
Ito the Associated Press.
