Viking 1965

homecommg It was a week of meeting-alum meeting alum, college meeting community, East meeting West, and nobody meeting chairman Louis Bowerman as he tore about bringing Portland State its best Homecoming yet. It started with pounding drums, screams and students gYrating to a raucous Beatle beat bY the Del-Rays, and ended in the tran- quility of a classic Japanese garden f or the "November Moon" Ilomecoming f ormal. Both Bowerman and Homecom- ing became a little less frantic as the week wore on. But it was variety, not Pace, which made Homecoming a suc- cess. There was on and off-cam- pus luncheons and conferences, an alumni banquet, open house, a play, rally and bonfi.re, and the inevitable football loss. Stressing the College and Com- munity Homecoming theme, fif- teen queen candidates sPoke their competitive interPreta- tions of "The College and Com- munity." A week later KathY Anderso[, a senior, was crowned after a student bodY vote. Joan Edwards, Pat Ober- lander, Susan Treadgold, and' Joan Todd made uP Queen Kathy's radiant court. Mohammed Batzof Saudi Arab- ia won, too. His jack o' lantern, a Viking comPlete with horns and scr aggly h arr, was ac- claimed best among the PumP- kin carving endeavors of seven- teen foreign students.
