"Fashion in the Community," was presented in honor of Queen Gloria and her court. Kathy Anderson (left) acted as commentator as Cherrie Ann Viggers (top right) and Rox– anne Piert modeled fashions for campus, career, and street wear. Joan Edwards, Ginny Hasse, Barbara Burnett, Sue Suter, Carol Windust, Mrs. Peter Grundfossen and Shirley Abbott also modeled for fash– ion enthusiasts. On a more serious note, this year's Homecoming featured informal discussions and con– ferences under the heading, "The Community Talks with the College ." Keynote speaker for the conferences was former Governor Robert D. Holmes. "Come take a walk with me through Old Main," chided Holmes. The invitation was a challenge to the critics who charged higher education with extravagance in buildings and operational budgets. "We must be entirely flexible with higher education, especially in fi– nances," he continued . "Static opinion does not produce an– swers to the problem ." The windup Metropolitan Melo– dies Formal was a smorgas– bord of music. Music for danc– ing, by the Gene Rene' Orches– tra. Music for listening , by the Shelly Manne group . And folk music groups with a variety of singers and acts . All in all , four kinds of entertainment going on simultaneously on three floors of College Center made for a colorful and chaotic cli– max . Deficit or no deficit, Chairman Roy Sampsel (page 15) and committee displayed a real sense of showmanship in staging th e Homecoming . 16
