_16 Horn Carnival, pe] By NANCY SALOMONSKY Carolina! Editor A slate of carnivals, pep rallies and parades has been planned for Homecoming 1994. The spirit week, whose motto is "Nothing Could Be Finer...," will begin Oct. 3. Homecoming is a weeklong set of activities and shows that seeks to bring the Carolina community together by creating a sense of pride and spirit. The Homecoming Commission, headed by Commissioner Bryce Nelson and Vice Commissioner Lori Toland, began preparing for the 1994 event after the completion of last year's festivities. "We have tried to cut out events that didn't work in the past," said Nelson, a biology senior. "We want this to be a year of change. We want to bring back some old traditions and hopefully start some new ones." Last year, the Homecoming Parade returned after a 10-year hiatus. This year, the parade will feature a traditional format of floats, walking, a Grand Marshal and loads of spectators. There will be a float-building contest, with cash rewards for the winning organization. The parade will begin at 3 p.m. Oct. 8. The Homecoming Carnival will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 5 in front of the Russell House. Students can visit booths sponsored by local businesses and campus organizations. Musical entertainment and food will be provided. At 7 p.m. Oct. 5, Greene Street, in front of the Russell House, will be turned into the first-ever Street Jam and dance party. "The Street Jam is a spring-off of the Homecoming Dance," said Toland, a finance junior. "The dance really didn't work in the past years. The Street Jam is more of a party than a dance." Music will be provided by a local radio station celebrity DJ, and free food best The v hase* . fSTTrVSii uh 7ilu ill IKfcWi mmmkmmmdk hfl EESS Watch F Locations So< ecomi 3 rally, parade h ??r it ^ |||| ^jj^^jBB- ^ ^ -ij ^ * '' v2P*"\ The Homecoming Parade made its return in 19 Oct. 7.
