Live music blarred, the cheerleaders cheered, the band played, and the golden girls danced. No, this was not an LSU football game, it was the annual Homecoming pep rally and bonfire. The pep rally and bonfire were held on Sept. 22 at 6:00 pm on the parade grounds. It gave stu- dents from all over campus an opportunity to get involved. Patrick McCune , the host ofthe Tiger TV show c'Doin Ita, said, 'cYou don't have to be a Greek to enjoy Homecoming. You can be a GDI and be just as proudfi The opening band was Brother Keyle and the Funky Beans, who played at 7:30. The real excitement came, however, when RunDMC performed. Students cheered them on by throwing toilet paper on the stage. Jeremy Stutley, a senior, said, HI just wanted to come out and see RunDMC and bring back old childhood memo- ries. The annual bonfire also brought many spectators. The Construction Student Association, also known as CSA, built the bonfire along with the help oftheir faculty advisor, Les Rosso. The 8ftx8ftX8ft fire was controlled by the Baton Rouge Fire Department. The bonfire would not have been possible without the help of Year Performance who donat- ed supplies. Georgia Pacific also donated the timber used in the fire. The 2000 Homecoming Court was also presented at the pep rally and bonfire. Ari Ellerbre, Kelly Heroman, Thuy Huynh, Stacey Lambert, Andrea McDade, jeremy Coco, Mario Garner, Iubria Lewis, Billy Lord, and Kris Neely were presented to the student body.
