Wishing and Hoping
To Theme Homecoming
Floats, parades, Toby and Tot, and student-faculty basketball games have all been part
of Mercer’s Homecoming “Bear Day” tradition. This year’s theme, “Wishing and Hoping for
an Even Greater Mercer,” heralds several changes made in an attempt to increase and exhibit
the Homecoming spirit on Mercer’s campus. Scheduled activities for the upcoming weekend
are:
Dionn* Warwick

An innovation into Mercer’s
Homecoming 1967 will be the
building of displays on campus
rather than the traditional Home
coming parade of floats. These
displays will be placed on the
lawns of the fraternity lodges and
other designated areas of the cam
pus. Each organization that doesn't
have a lodge will draw for these
campus areas at the time entrance
fees are paid. The display fee will
be $10 and must be paid by Jan
uary 26. Construction costs of each
entry may not exceed $50 and the
actual construction on campus may
not begin before Friday, February
3. The displays will be judged by
two Mercer faculty members and
two Maconites. The criteria they
will use to judge the floats is:
Originality — 40 pts.
Pertinance to theme — 20 pts.
Effort and time spent — 20 pts.
Attractiveness — 20 pts.
All organizations will be com
peting for the first place trophy,
and second and third place certifi
cates which will be announced at
the half of the Homecoming game.
Last year Lambda Chi Alpha won
the trophy and A TO- Alpha Delta
Phi tied for the second place award
The competition, floats and parade
have always been a highlight of the
weekend, but it was felt that a
display could better show the
thought and time that had been put
into it. This year the displays will
not be destroyed immediately after
judging, hut will remain to be
appreciated by the faculty and
visitors on the campus.
Mercer is a school built on tradi
tion; and one of these is the elec
tion of Toby and Tot. Toby and
Tot are students whose spirit,
dedication, and activities have been
in the interest of bettering Mercer.
Each fraternity and sorority con
siders these qualifications and
nominates a candidate that they
feel exemplifies this ideal. Elected
by the entire student body on
Wednesday, February 1, the results
will be announced at the half of
the Homecoming game. The en
trance deadline for Toby-Tot can
didates and fees was yesterday.
Perhaiw the best feature of the
week-end other than the Bear’s
game is the entertainment. Friday
night there will be a concert featur
ing Dionne Warwick. Dionne is
probably one of the most dynamic
female vocalists of the day. She
has recorded songs such as. "Any
one Who Ever Had A Heart," "Will
You Love Me Tomorrow,” "When
The Lovelight Starts Shining
Through His Eyes.” and many
more. Saturday afternoon Buddie’s
Buddies will play for the student
body from 3:00 until 5:00. Most
students remember Buddie’s Bud
dies from the Miss Mercer Pageant
last spring quarter and the Fresh
man Pep Rally Orientation Week.
Teacher Evaluation
Program Slated
You will have the opportunity
to evaluate five of your professors!
You can say just what you think
of their teaching, personalities, etc,
etc. If you are a junior or senior,
you will evaluate three of your
professors in your major field and
two in your minor field. If you are
a freshman or aophomore. you may
evaluate any five professors that
you have had at Mercer.
The questionnaire is being pre
pared by Magaret King and
Claudette Wells of the Social Re
search Class with the help of the
Student Government. Such ques
tions as these will be on the evalua
tion: Which teacher do you like
moat, least? Can you be a per
sonality in the class? Is outside
work helpful or just time consum
ing? Questions on the evaluation
came from Mercer students, similar
studies, and published material on
college teaching.
When? Where? February 1, 1967
during the hours of 9:30 a.m. to
2:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Stu
dent Center. DON'T FORGET TO
EVALUATE YOUR PROFES
SORS!
IFC Elects Manning,
Brince Manning. Kappa Sigma,
was elected president of the Mer
cer Intra-Fraternity Council at its
meeting of January 11.
Others officers elected were
Gary Brenner. Kappa Alpha, vice-
president; John Ellington, Sigma
Alpha Epeilon, secretary; Roddy
Clark, Alpha Tau Omega, treas
urer; and Bill Wehunt, Lambda
Chi Alpha, rush coordinator.
The Council announces that
Greek Week is planned for the
week of March with one Greek
ball on April 1 and possible a
number of competitive, intra-
fraternity activities to precede the
Saturday ball.
After the game Saturday night,
Eddie Floyd will lead the night's
entertainment backed by the Em
bers. Eddie Floyd currently sings
“Knock on Wood" and the Embers
have played at several other Mercer
functions.
These activities promise to pro
vide a great Homecoming week
end, but in no way over-shadow
the main event, the Bears vs. San
ford game. There is no doubt that
the Bears have greatly improved
since last year, and there is no
doubt that the school spirit has
improved These factors combined,
this HoflieZoming game could be a
great victory for the Bears.
