Just behind the honoraries will follow the queen's float and homecoming displays of fraternities and sororities, organizations and down town stores. A jaycee committee this week announced that thousands of yards of bunting and brown and gold banners have been ordered and will decorate downtown lamps and storefronts. First year men are scheduled to begin scouring the countryside tomorrow in an effort to amass the highest stack of bonfire wood since the notable frosh fire of 1937. Hobo day with its beards, campus lunch stands, hurryup musical outfits, knights of the road camaraderie, and tattered students will come off all day Friday. The afternoon will witness pouring in of the first alumni and the madcap session at the Premier. This has always been the highlight of the impromptu part of homecoming to most students and this year's committee has a program lined up to rival Hellzapoppin with a side dish of Barnum and Bailey. Lotsa Activities Several organizations have social affairs scheduled for Friday evening already. Pi Gamma Mu has announced its breakfast fo>- early Saturday morning prior to general registration of all alumni. The gigantic parade will begin forming at 12:30 and will mark the first appearance of the university band in brand new brown and gold uniforms. Kickoff of the Ball State game will be at 2:30. The starting ball will be tossed from a low flying airplane according to a custom of several years. Reigning over the gridiron ceremonies will be her majesty the homecoming queen and court. Details of the banquet Saturday evening and other activities that night will be carried in next week's TORCH. Large Pre-Legal Club Chooses K.
