<br>
It's hard to believe that yesterday was Halloween as warm as it was. I
wore my cap and gown as a costume, but had to lose it during the day,
before I had a heat stroke. (I realized yesterday that that is
probably, no definitely, the only piece of clothing I have that is that
old that still fits. Those graduation robes are very forgiving.) I did
get to put it on late yesterday evening as it began to cloud up and
cool off, and it felt pretty good then.<br>
<br>
The Halloween Carnival was a great success with all kinds of activities
and hundred of people in attendance. The dunk tank, pie in the face
booth, velcro wall, and other inflatables were big hits with everyone,
and the International Students "Pork on a Stick" and Green Tea booth
went over really well, also. I had to laugh when I saw Brenton Duncan
(coming from the pie in the face booth maybe?) looking like a huge bird
had just flown over and deposited something on his head. I think he
went to the dunk tank then hoping to get dunked so he could clean up.
Even Dr. Smith took a few pies in the face for the team, as did Sally
Davis, Linda Enis and several other faculty and staff members. Here's
hoping that this will become an annual event and get bigger and better
every year. Many congratulations to everyone who had a part in making
this the great success that it was. <br>
<br>
While the carnival was a massive undertaking, it is by no means the
last event in this busy week. This afternoon at 2:00 we will have the
Native American Celebration in the Ballroom, at 6:00 and 8:00 there
will be the women's and men's basketball games against Paris, I
believe, and if you can hang in there that long, tonight at 10:00 there
will be a comedy/hypnotist here in Mitchell Auditorium. I have seen
this twice since I've been here and it is always hysterical. Friday
there will be a pep rally to support our teams at noon at the field
house, and that evening at 6:30 at Pete's Place in Krebs, there will be
the Hall of Fame Induction Dinner honoring Bill Cole, former president
of East Central University in Ada. Finally, Saturday will kick off
early with the Hilltopper's Breakfast at 8:30 in the President's
Dining Room, then the first EOSC Homecoming Parade in years on Main
Street, followed by an Alumni Meeting in the Coffee Shop. After that
there will be a tailgate party on campus with the Aggie Club cooking
hamburgers and hot dogs for all comers from 11:30 to 1:30, (remember
the Cafeteria will be closed so that everyone can eat at the Tailgate
Party), and the Homecoming ball games starting at 1:00 (women's) and
3:00 (men's) and coronation of the new EOSC Homecoming King and Queen.
The last Homecoming activity for this year will be the Homecoming Dance
from 9:00 to midnight in the Ballroom. Whew, is that a lot of stuff or
what?<br>
