By John Chambers STUDENT GOVERNMENT EDITOR

Homecoming might not be the same next year without the parade. The Student Senate External Relations Committee discussed complaints students, faculty and administration had regarding conduct at this year’s parade, including the possibility of not including it in Homecoming celebrations next year. “My wife was hit in the head (with candy). I think that’s an awfully cheap thing to do,” Charleston Mayor Dan Cougill said. “Homecoming is a time for alumni to come back; it’s a time to show off the campus.” He said past parades included more floats and bands than this year’s parade. “All that’s gone away and we all know the simple COLIN MCAULIFFE/PHOTO EDITOR answer.
