HOMECOMING 1986-87 A Time For Memories From the cheers at the game, to the welcome smiles and hugs of ex-roommates and the discussion of remember whens at the bars uptown to an umbrella-filled Philadelphia Street at the parade and the goodbyes and tears to separat- ing friends, this Homecoming was as memorable as ever. The Homecoming carnival started things off on Friday and lasted through Saturday. lUP organizations sold food, photos, buttons, clothes and other goodies under the tents beside Sutton Hall. On Saturday the floats made by the sororities and fraterni- ties along with bands, shriners and other Indiana County or- ganizations paraded down Philadelphia Street as observ- ers stood under umbrellas cheering for their friends on the floats and applauding the band ' s music. ' m I. i I ' m so thrilled and honored. Alpha Gamma Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha won first place with their Roadrunner and Coyote float in the car- toon-theme float competition. They won $300 from the first place sponsors. Country Club Estates and Hogan Landscaping. Other winners for this Homecoming weekend were Tina Kennedy from Douglass- ville and Stephen Kraus from Glenshaw, lUP ' s 1986-87 homecoming king and queen. They were announced at the football game on Saturday when lUP beat Edinboro 28- 10. The king and queen along with the court brightened up the rainy day with their smiles. Em so thrilled and honored, Kennedy said of her new title. lUP ' s branch campuses were also represented by their own kings and queens. Kittaning ' s were Denette Beitko from Tar- tumen and David Copeland and Kittanning. Jeannie Por- ada and Don Airgood both from Punxutawney won at their campus. Even though Homecoming weekend was filled with games, contests and competitions they won ' t be the things that will be remembered most about this weekend. The memories of staying up all night to finish the float, hosting old friends at your apartment for the weekend and squeezing through the crowds at the bars will be the memo- ries of Homecoming 1986-87. One recent graduate summed up her weekend, I re- lived old memories and made new ones. 1 guess that ' s what Homecoming is all about. A freshman said, My first Homecoming was great. For the first time I feel as if Em a part of lUP. It ' s great! -Lesley Hoi ton i ■■ ' . ' RESlDENf ' Iand ' RS.JOHND.WELTV Jop: Cartoon characters cheered up through the parade.

Mike Farrell, Ray Charles, A Chorus Line, Evita, Psychedelic Furs, Eddie Mon- ey, Marcel Marceau and Dizzy Gillespie. No, the above list is not HBO ' s line-up for the month — it ' s a list of the many per- formers that came to lUP dur- ing the Fall 1986 and Spring 1987 semesters. This list was just a sampling of the many activities available to lUP students. Students could also attend speeches, go to plays, dance at Steady Mick ' s or work-out at little to no cost (except for their activity fee) on the I UP campus. One activity that few stu- dents miss during their four years at lUP was attending an on-campus movie. Recent, as well as classic, movies were sponsored by the Activities Board and other organizations every week. Some of this year ' s flicks included: Back to the Fu- ture, Top Gun, The Godfather and Gone With the Wind. The many activities avail- able at I UP make the campus more than just an academic in- stitution. If the student makes the most of these opportunities he or she will leave lUP with much more than knowledge of a major but a broader knowl- edge of the world; ACTIVITIES EDITOR BECKY LIGHT Activities 19
