He sings a\nrowdy Australian hunting song,\nthen paints a 10 second picture,\nthen runs off a set of slapstick\nskits \"into the woods\" punctuating all with bursts of laughter.\nHarris' humor is witty and\nfast-moving, filled with wordplays and double entendres. \"I\nlike a story to be funny, and if\nit's filthy as well as funny, well\n. . . but it's got to be funny,\" he\nexplained.\nPrefering performing at universities to nightclubs, Harris\ni feels the university audience\ngives him more opportunity to\nexpress his comic individuality.\n\"The students catch little innuendoes and complex asides\nwhich night-spot crowds miss,\nand they often are way ahead\nof me, laughing almost before\nthe words are out of my mouth,\"\nhe said.\n\"I like,to involve the audience\nin my act,\" he said, \"and talk to\npeople 4S people.

Each event has been carefully planned and many improvements have been instituted.\nPerhaps the biggest difference from previous years will\n. be found at the two Homecoming Dances. These dances, being\n. the highlight of the Homecoming weekend, were examined\nvery carefully by the committee and changes have been made\nto make them more enjoyable for the students.\nThe committee desired first class entertainment and\n.; we feel we have this in tihe Kirby Stone Four. Decorations\n. were criticized and this year an entirely new approach has been\ntaken to this problem. Seating was also a point of discussion\nand this will also be handled in a new way this year.\nHomecpming is not, however, just a student celebration.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 In its true concept, Homecoming is a time when graduates return to thSn? Ahrta Mater. I feel all students should remember\ni this throughout the Homecoming weekend.\nLet us show the returning Alumni that, though our\nnumbers have reached 13,000 the spirit that was present when\nthey attended UBC stiS prevails. We, as undergraduates, have\na responsibility to. the returning grads to ^how our hospitality\nand make them feel welcome at UBC's 35th Annual Homecoming celebration.\nHappy Homecoming 1961!\nKYLE R. MITCHELL\nChairman,\n1961 Homecoming Committee\nFrom all over\t\nHomecoming!\nFrom where are they coming?\nSome grads will literally be coming from great distances to UBC Homecoming, but the majority from the local\narea will be leaving the daily humdrum problems of home\nand office to enjoy thirty-six hours of 'highly varied activities\nm the home of their friends, their masters and their ideals.\nThe continually growing Alumni Homecoming Program\nis highlighted this year by eight Class Re-unions, the largest\nnumber ever held on this campus. We will see our old friends\non Faculty and Professors Emeriti at the Coffee Hour, two\nstimulating panel discussions and, we hope, at the Golf\nTournament.\nThe new campus cari become more familiar through one\nof three tours and a succeeding discussion with Mr. Roy\nJessiman (the University Architect) and Dean MacPhee over\ntea or coffee. Traditional Grads vs. Thunderbirds basketball\nand a real crucial football game with Alberta Golden Bears\nwill whet the grads' sporting appetites.\nWhile memories play a large part in Homecoming, the\ncampus is a living institute and it is the students that keep it\nalive. We grads welcome the opportunity to return to see and\ntalk to the students.\nA number of student leaders will be our guests at the.\nCampus Revue, and will give us the opportunity to cultivate\na warm Student-Alumni friendship in a relaxed social evening with spot hi jinks in student entertainment.\nALEC H. ROME\nChairman.\n1961 Homecoming Con&nittee\nHomecoming: how it all started\nUBC Homecoming has withstood depressions, wars, fires,\nand many instances of apathy\nin its colorful 35-year history.\nThe first steps toward a\nHomecoming were made in\nthe spring of 1^25, when reunions were held in downtown\nhotels and clubs.\nThe first official Homecoming was held the next year, in\nthe fall of 1926, \u00E2\u0080\u0094 a four*day\npageant of dances, theatre,\nfootball, basketball, campus\ntours, and reunions.\nBut following years and the\ndegression hampered the event.\nIt was cut from a four-day\nfiesta to a one-day event \u00E2\u0080\u0094\na glorified \"pep meet\" according to The Ubyssey.\nThe stadium was completed in 1937, new interest\narose in football and rugby,\nand Homecoming was again\nmade a two-day affair.' The\nwar years, however, curtailed\nmost athletic activity, and\nHomecoming was again relegated td the posi tion of a\nminor event.\nAfter th'e war, Homecoming\ncarried on; for several years\nas a one-day event featuring\na Big Block luncheon, American football, Alumni general\nmeeting and dinner, a potlatch\nin the auditorium, basketball\nin the gym, and a dance in the\narmory.\nIt continued along much the\nsame lines until* 3.954, when\nthe Brock Hall fixe ten days\nbefore the big weekend forced cancellation of the dinner\nand lunch.\nPanel discussions, class reunions, and the Friday luncheon were put on sounder footing, and each year since then,\nsome new event has been\nadded.\nth.
