THIS YEAR'S MINNESOTA GAME: Homecoming Features Displays, Dane New English 3-speed Bike ait $ 495 Y By ANETTE HARRIS Every football weekend is charged with spirit and filled with activities, but Homecoming week- end is greeted with the most en- thusiasm and shows the results of the hectic preparation that has occupied everyone's time during the two preceding weeks after the' theme of the weekend is revealed. At this time, clever minds in each campus housing unit tem- porarily divorce themselves from the daily grind of studying and devise a display befitting the oc- casion, with hopes of coming out on top in the judging. The sequence of events sched- uled throughout the two days can best be described by recalling last year's "Hollywood and Vine" theme and the traditional contests that have, and will, take place. "Michigan Intermission" kicked off the weekend on the Diag as University cheerleaders whooped it up with some warm-up cheers Friday afternoon, Oct. 30, 1959.

This coveted title was captured by Chi Omega's Jane - Tarzan's mate - who cavorted around the area.
