There'll be plenty of nostalgia among Old Grads next Saturday, Nov. 3, when the alumni will put on a Homecoming Day Program, jammed with special events to dwarf any in the past. In addition to reviving Big Thursday-type excitement, t h e alumni are resurrecting the late afternoon "tea dance," fondly re membered by party-lovers of 20-25 years ago. And reassembled from near and distant points to play for the 5-7 p.m. dance in the Wade Hampton Hotel - which also includes a reception for President and Mrs. Thomas F. Jones - will be Buster Spann and his Carolina Gamecock Orchestra, for a reunion perform ance. The Spann Orchestra was a smash hit earlier this year when the former members came to Co lumbia from as far away as Florida to hold a reunion and play for a kickoff meeting of the Greater University Fund. But there are several other new events in addition to the reception and the tea dance. One of the special features of homecoming will be the presenta tion of the first Distinguished Alumni Award. The first recipient of this award has already been selected by a secret committee. For those who arrive in Co lumbia on Friday, there will be another novelty-Carolina Capers, an all-university variety show. Produced by James D. Pritchard, director of bands, the show will be held in the Field House. Also on the program for Satur day are the fraternities' Homecom ing displays, class reunions, a gen eral alumni meeting, a coffee hour in the campus residence of Dr. and Mrs. Jones, and the football game with the University of Vir ginia.

Do By Alum The seventh generation of Sout] Carolinians is now attending th University of South Carolina. Motivated by the belief that thi University is training future lead ers of South Carolina, the Alumn Association operates under the di rection of Mr. Carl Brazell in his toric Lieber College. Since 1801 the Association ha; sought to foster alumni interes and provide services to its forme: sons and daughters. These alumn reside mostly in the state itsel; but there are also former Carolinj students in all fifty states am foreign countries. Within Sout] Carolina they provide leadershij in the keynote positions of gover nor, lieutenant governor, attorne, general, and state treasurer. Mr. Brazell contends, "Th< alums will determine the destini of the University." This remarl was based on facts which say tha the University resides under th state General Assembly. Two thirds of the Assembly is com posed of Carolina graduates. Thi Board of Trustees of the Univer sity is predominately Carolini alumni. Furthermore, the som and daughters of alumni atten< the University in vast majority. The Alumni Association has edu cational advancements as its chie interests. It encourages, managei and allocates funds which ar( made available to the Universit3 Homecon On Grand Homecoming this year has beer planned on a grander scale, thit plan is expected to grow as th( years go by. This was the idea of Car] Brazell, Head of the Alumni As. sociation. He felt since we had lost a great occasion when the Big Thursday game was changed, we should choose the most appropriatc time for homecoming and make the most of it.
