Spirit blast
Homecoming week takes off

The Wesleyan homecoming
week officially started Feb. 22
to attract more support for the
Wesleyan basketball teams at
its games Feb. 27.
Coordinator of Student Ac-
tivities Michael Chaney said
the entire week is designed
around certain themes so stu-
dents, faculty and staff can
show their Wesleyan spirit.
"This is the Ram-Plosion
homecoming week," Chaney
said, "that's the concept we
came up with in centering our
ideas."
Chaney said for each day of
the week, people are encour-
aged to dress up for the theme
of the day, get their picture
taken at the student life of-
fice and fill out an entry form
to go along with the photo.
People can also e-mail their
photos to Chaney as well.
"And then at the end of the
day, we're going to go through
all the pictures and determine
who's going to be the winner
of the day'' Chaney said.
Chaney said each winner
will be announced the follow-
ing day and will receive a prize
for their participation.
Chaney also said the Greeks
will compete to show their
Wesleyan spirit by painting
miniature basketballs to pres-
ent at the pep rally Feb. 25.
The pep rally will be held in
the Sid Richardson gym dur-
ing free period and students
can go and vote for their fa-
vorite ball.
Also during the pep rally,
students will see performanc-
es by the cheer and dance
team, the announcement of
the homecoming court and a
mrnmon
shoot off contest.
But the finale of the week
will be the Ram-Plosion tail-
gate party at noon Feb. 27 in
the SUB.
Chaney said the party will
provide free food, activities,
music and plenty of social
interaction leading up to the
men's and women's basketball
games later that afternoon.
"If you're not present, you're
gonna miss out," Chaney said.
Chaney said the Blu Cru
will be the primary group
helping with the tailgate party
and a lot of the activities.
Student Government Asso-
ciation President Heath Scott
said the tailgate party is a great
opportunity for the Blu Cru to
get some exposure and at the
same time help out Chaney
and the student life office.
"Michael wants a group of
students he can count on right
now to help see homecoming
through," Scott said.
And Scott said the group
will participate each day by
dressing up for the individual
themes as well.
Scott said the Blu Cru still
had to finalize its game plan
with Chaney, but the group
will be ready by Saturday.
Chaney said he is hopeful
the games will see a lot more
student attendance.
"I'm hoping that we'll see
more people at this basket-
ball game than we've seen at
any other basketball game this
year," Chaney said.
