Chances for all to participate in some school spirit will take place during Homecoming week, Oct. 28-Nov. 2, which topped the discussion at the Campus Activities Board meeting on Oct. 21.

There have been fliers put up to announce all of the planned activities, and there are plenty of events catering to almost everyone.

The schedule of events includes:  picture this  novelty from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Monday; a game show,  Think Fast  from 12:15-2 p.m. on Tuesday; and a make-your-own music video from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Wednesday. All these events will take place on the second floor of the Billingsly Student Center.

From 7-9 p.m. on Wednesday, a family skate night/Halloween costume contest is set for the Webb City skating rink. Participants are encouraged to dress up in their favorite costume.

Several events are planned for Friday, Nov. 1, including an all-campus picnic from 10:45 a.m.-1:30 p.m., and laser tag from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the campus oval.

There will be two movies showing in Leggett & Platt Athletic Center from 7-11 p.m.: Spider-man and Triple X.

To end the week, there will be the Homecoming parade at 11:30 a.m. and football game at 2 p.m.with Missouri Southern facing Missouri Western on Saturday, Nov. 2. At the game, the king and queen royalty will be announced from participating organizations and the CAB has nominated Kristopher Knight, sophomore marketing major, and Michelle Boley, senior psychology major.

In other business, concert committee chair David Kenny announced his resignation from the CAB. Kenny is a full-time student at Southwest Missouri State University and wants to devote more time to his classes there.

Kenny said he would still be willing to help the CAB with any concert needs, but would not be able to attend meetings.

Committee reports were discussed. Sabrina Tyndall, family events committee chair, announced the fliers for the skate night were made and ready to be put up. Tyndall also said she would be leaving the CAB starting in the spring, and that Lyndse Bergen, sophomore special education major, would take her place. Bergen has been working alongside Tyndall to learn her responsibilities better.

A suggestion to get T-shirts made for CAB members was made, and design ideas are recommended. Boley said she would help with the design, and input from other members is encouraged.

The next meeting is at noon Monday in the BSC, Room 310.
