Homecoming
Festivities
By MARCEE TAXMAN
Assistant Naws Editor
Homecoming ’74 got rolling Wednesday night as Homecoming Queen Lillian Reyes rode down Miracle Mile atop a new coach while her court followed close behind.
Festivities continue with the football game tonight and the dance tomorrow night at the Diplomat Hotel.
Members of the Queen’s Court, Leslie Loewenthal, Abbey Blue, Karen Sibling and Ann Whitten followed the new coach, now a permanent fixture in future Homecoming parades.
"The Queen and her court were judged on tal ent, poise, beauty and their answer to a situation question. They were picked out of 12 semifinalists who were voted on by the student body Monday," said Homecoming Public Relations Director Ross Crystal.
Crystal said the Sock Hop and Tootsie Pop l.icking contest on Tuesday night were both very successful and there was a huge turnout of all organizations.
"All organizations turned out for the Pep Rally on Thursday night. There was the traditional boat burning and the surprise which was the dropping of shades from the top of the 960 complex, with the Alma Mater printed on it,” Crystal said.
He said the annual candlelight procession on Thursday night was more "breathless” than ever.
The annual homecoming football game against Florida State University will start 8 p.m. tonight in the Orange Bowl.
"The highlight of the game will he half time when the Queen and her court will parade around the Orange Bowl in their

annual caravan," Crystal said.
The theme of tomorrow's Homecoming dance, which starts at 8 p.m. at the Diplomat Hotel, is "Shades of Yesterday."
"At the dance all organizations will find nut who the divisional win-
ners of Homecoming are,” Crystal said.
Many alumni have turned out and more are expected today and over the weekend to wind up Homecoming ’74,” he said.
"The week’s activities would not have happened without the diligent efforts of the entire Homecoming committee,” Crystal said.
"Numerous adminis-trational compliments for Homecoming '74 have made their way to the Homecoming office," Homecoming Overall Chairman, Kenny Lieber-man said.
“Homecoming is a time when alumni and students get together to reflect on the past, present and future of the University of Miami,” Crystal said.

Last year's all-around spirit award winner, the 960 Complex, was not represented in the Homecoming Parade because of an information mix-up
On October 31, Jim Hillencamp, a graduate assistant from the 960 Complex went over to the Homecoming Office to find out where they could pick up their float bed.
"At that time the Homecoming Committer informed us that 960 Complex would not be given a float bed this year," he said.
According to Hillencamp, he was informed al that time the 960 and 1968 Complexes were allocated one float bed between them.
"They should have informed the organizations who requested float beds, who was being given one and who wasn’t,” he said.
However after that meeting with the Homecoming committee, the 960 Complex representatives began a frantic search through the Coral Gables -Miami area for a float bed.
At the last hour a float bed was secured from a political candidate to be used for Wednesday’s parade.
Unfortunately construction on the float wloch was to begin last Friday, was delayed until Wednesday morning. The 960 Complex’s float had to be scrapped when it was realized late in the afternoon there would be no way the float could be built for Wednesday night’s parade.
Homecoming Publicity Chairman Ross Crystal said "Floats are assigned on a first come first serve basis, we have no favorites."
Ken Lieberman, Homecoming chairman was not available for comment.

"The fraternity house is insured but we are responsible for collecting insurance on our own belongings,” he added.
In retrospect, he said he "urges all readers to please think before doing anything. It can save you a hell of a lot of worry in the long run."
Several Miami-Dade students presently reside in the SPE house as a result of a merger of the UM and Dade South chapters.
The blood drive facilities were provided by Mount Sinai Hospital of Miami Beach.
Actual blood extractions were performed by members of the Mount Sinai hospital nursing staff in the Sigma Chi’s dining room
"We’re receiving $10 from the Miami Beach blood account for every pint donated. This in turn will be sent to Wallace Village, a home for minimally retarded children in Colorado,” Sigma Chi President John Rolfs said.

Lillian Reyes said she was not merely happy, but ecstatic about becoming UM’s 1 9 7 4 homecoming queen.
“I’m very excited about this and the Homecoming committee really made me feel like a queen,” said Reves, a sophomore pre-med student.
Reyes came alive Tuesday at the Queen’s contest in the International Lounge of the Student Union, where she pantomimed a doll who turned into a person, to the tune of “Oh You Beautiful Doll,"
The contest judges included Miss Miami of 1970 and the owner of the Big Daddy's liquor store chain.
Reyes got the chance to try out for Homecoming queen when Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) fraternity decided to sponsor her, where she is currently a Little Sis-

“They (the Police) didn’t tell any residence hall staff
(about the raid),” Gibbons said. He added that when police were done searching the room, two women emerged along with Bouz-inc, and one woman was carrying “a kid two nr three years old.”
Federal agents said they were involved in the case because one kilo is "a helluva tot of cocaine." „
Bouzaine was held in Dade County jail on a $20,-000 bond. Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG), which has a bail bond program, was not involved. Bouzaine has since been bonded out by another source.
USBG Vice President Alan Harris, who heads the bail bond program said, "If they don’t ask us, we don’t run down there with the money.”

The national fraternity of Sigma Chi has been making contributions to Wallace Village for over 20 years.
"We’re tremendously pleased with the outcome. 95 per cent cent of Sigma Chi has turned out for the drive,” Rolfs said.
Fifteen students unaffiliated with Sigma Chi also made donations.
One of the donors, a Sigma Chi pledge, Paul Teasley said, "I must admit that before I donated I felt faint and nervous, but it only hurt when they stuck the needle in.”
"I'm definitely glad I gave. The main thing is that I might have saved someone's life in the process,” Teasley said.

A Miami-Dade South student who left a cigar burning in an ashtray when he left for the grocery store has accepted full responsibility for the fire that destroyed a room in the Sigma Phi Epsilon (SPE) fraternity house last weekend.
“The fire started because I neglected to think before leaving the room," Tom Loverro said.
Three firemen were injured while fighting the hlaze, but all were released from a local hospital after being treated for smoke inhalation, Coral Gables’ Acting Fire Chief Edward Moyer said.
Loverro said he was watching the Florida-Auburn football game on television while his roommate Bill Harris, also a Dade South student, was listening to the radio through headphones shortly before the fire broke out at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
“I got the munchies and '*1 ran from the room to left for the grocery store to get help, and when we rebuy some food,” I.overro turned, the room was so hot said. “Without thinking, 1 and smoky we were unable placed my lit cigar into an to enter." ashtray and left.”
He said a partition in the middle of the room prevented Harris from noticing his negligence.
“A few moments later I smelled smoke. I got up out of bed to investigate and was shocked at seeing Tom's coffee table burning,” Harris said.
With the help of other SPE and Sigma Chi brothers. Harris said they unsuccessfully attempted to put the fire out with a garden hose and two fire extinguishers.
“What caused the fire to spread so rapidly was the highly flamable materials that the furniture, curtains and walls were made of,” Moyer said. “The decorative cork wall the boys had put up went up in a flash."
