add a little
'pep' to TSU
By Melanie Fowler
Reporter
Every Monday the
cheerleaders of Tarleton State
University meet and make plans
for the pep rally lo he held that
week
They deeide whether (hey will
perform a stun! or a skit
They then prcpaie tor the pep
rally until Thursday, the night of
itie event
Rusty Jergins, Cheerledifmg
Sponsor, says, "We are lacking
in patticipation We would like
10 see the stadium packed
Using incentives, such as con-
cert tickets to see the country
bands Highway 101 and Clint
Black, rides in the Purple Poo
limousine, T-shirts, and small
loolballs with snack har coupons
on them, are what Jeigins says
bring more students out to the
lathes
Jergins feels that the new
■Undents need time to figure out
bow the system works, when and
where the pep tallies are held,
and most important, how to get
involved in them
Jeigins says he would like to
see one thousand or mote
students attend the i allies They
consider the current turn out to
lie a "nice size." but with almost
six thousand students at Tarleton,
they feel that tnoie than a thou-
sand could show up
The tallies arc held on Thurs-
day nights in the stadium lor all
home games The exception was
for the all-school trip to Wichita
Falls, which was Thursday,
September 2H, in Wisdom Gym
Jergins would like pep rallies
to become a tradition at Tarleton,
and be "the thing to do" on
Thursday nights He says he does
not want students to think ot
Taileton pep rallies as high
school pep rallies

The recent student survey in-
dicates that a small but varied
amount of TSU students consider
Homecoming week to be an exciting
time of traditional activities for most
of the TSU students, past and
present.
The question asked was "What
does Homecoming mean to you9
Carlos Rivera, a Pre-Law niajoi
at Tarleton, thinks that Homecom-
ing is a tune for the alumni, as well
as the current students, to gather
together
"It's a time where there's a varie-
ty of activities going on, so students
can enjoy something without being
bored with everyday life," said
Rivera "I plan on going to the
game, attending the midnight
breakfast, and having a party at my
Baer
apartment "
Rivera says his favorite part of the
Homecoming festivities is the
"Beauty and the Beast" contest.
TSU alumnus John Hughes says
Homecoming is a time tor reminisc-
ing about times past
"Homecoming is a time when we
renew old acquaintances, relive past
experiences, and learn how other
alumnus are doing in the outside
world," said Hughes.
"I really enjoyed TSU as u stu-
dent and will always remember it
well," said Hughes
Cheryl Chavarria is a Horticulture
Landscape Management major at
TSU, and thinks that Homecoming
is aimed primarily at the TSU foot-
ball team and the crowds that attend
Tarleton football games
Chavarria said, "Homecoming,

to me, is a time when old friends
and family come back home to cheer
on the home team to victory."
English major Kim Kraatz says
Homecoming is a campus tradition
and a time to take pride in Tarleton
"It's a time for all the alumni to
come together and we can see how
Tarleton is growing," said Kraat7.
"I'm going to go to all of the ac-
tivities - the snake dance, the bon-
fire, and then to Homecoming, and
the parade," Kraatz said.
Spanish major Misty Gromatzky
says that Homecoming is a time to
meet new people "It's a time to
meet older people along with the
new people," Gromatzky said,
"and there's more activities. You
meet more people and have more
fun
Kristi Baer. Fashion Merchandis-
ing major at TSU, says that
Homecoming means lots of ac-
tivities "It's where everybody that
has graduated comes back," said
Baer. ' 'It's the biggest game of the
year, because everyone stays in
town and goes to the game."

"My favorite part of Homecom-
ing is the parade," Bullard said
"Homecoming to me is getting to
see old friends
Business Administration graduale
student Tommy Green says that
Homecoming is a time to get involv-
ed in the campus activities
"Homecoming means going to all
the activities during the week like
the drum-beating, the game, the
dance afterwards, the Pep Rally,
school spirit, school pride - that's
what it means to me," said Green.
"I'm going to work midnight
breakfast, the drum-beating, go to
the game Saturday, go to the Pep
Rally, just U<v everything. My
favorite part is Thursday night with
the drum-beating and snake dance
- and I guess the game itself,'' said
Green
Chris Marks, a TSU graduate stu-
dent, thinks that Homecoming
should be a time tor remembrance.
"It's people coming back and
reliving old memories and seeing
the new changes and the new
growth that Tarleton goes through,"
said Marks
Baer's favorite part of Homecom-
ing is the dance that follows the
game.
Jayme Bullard, a Journalism ma-
jor at TSU, says that Homecoming
week is full of "parties,"
"But also, it's thinking about how
things used to be," he said. "Be-
ing an alumnus, I think I'll check
out some ot the alumni activities.
My favorite part was probably the
game itself."
