About the book

Excerpt from Artifacts, 1981, Vol. 2 This year's Homecoming was just a little dif ferent from previous years. It highlighted Bill Wade, a 17 year-old junior, as Homecoming Princess. To prove his point that Homecoming elections are based on popularity, that males are stereotyped as macho and females as passive ladies, and that Greeks dominate the entire election process, Wade ran for Homecoming Princess under the name of Billie Dahhling and won by some 150 votes in one of the largest voting turnouts in recent years. Though most of the court and many frater nities planned to boycott Homecoming activities it Wade did not drop out of the competition, a com promise was reached where Wade would be crowned at Friday night's Pow-wow and his name announced during the half-time festivities at the Homecoming game against Boston College on Cc tober 18 in exchange for his not being on the field during the ceremonies.
