Plans are presently being formulated for this year's “Spirit Week” scheduled for the week of October 10. The culminating feature will be the Miami-Georgia football game on the 15th.
Designed to be both a spur and tribute to UM enthusiasm, the annual tradition consists of a week of pep rallies, contests (including the Queen's Contest I. and the Hurricane Howl.
According to Boh Regel, chairman of Spirit Week, this year's event will be like no other. Participation will be a prime factor in the distribution of points, which are totaled to determine the winner of the Spirit Trophy, and the judging will be completely impartial. Both Items were given much stress by Regel at the committee meeting last week.
Seven events are planned for the w'eek. Monday night will be saved tentatively for the Hostess Tryouts. Wednesday night the UM Jazz Lab will give a concert on the Student Union Patio. Thursday night will host the main Pep Rally, where the winners of the contests will be announced and the points will be allocated. Friday night a pep rally and car parade will precede the Georgia game.
Highlighting the week will ' be tlse Hurricane Howl, a new tradition consisting of competition between all of the groups on campus. Coordinated by Phi Mu Alpha, the Hurricane Howl will pit various organizations against each other in skits which can be aimed at any campus activity. The Howl will count the most heavily toward spirit points, and the Queen of Spirit Week will be announced at the function.
Rules for both the Hurricane Howl and the Queen's Contest will be available to all organizations. Tht point system, which includes 10 points for the Queen, 5 points for each finalist, and points for participation, will be explained.
