Smiles are contagious whenever Booby Bearcat is busy . at work. Bobby stopped and said hello to many children during the Homecoming parade route. Photo t Heather Epperly riS their football cheers. We went to 10 stores and finally we went to some farm store, Saunders said. The store didn ' t have the bell, b ut a farmer had one on the back of his tmck. He just gave it to us. On the field, the Bearcats defeated Missouri Southem State Coll , 52-17. Afi:er catching seven passes for 93 yards and scoring two touchdowns, wide receiver Tony Miles was honored with the Don Black Trophy. Off the field, guarding a back entrance to the stadium, campus security officer Roy Gibbs concentrated on crowd control while watching the Bearcats in action. I ' m always pumped for Homecoming, rooting for the home team, Gibbs said. Across the street from Rickenbrode Stadium at the Phi Sigma Kappa house, Casey McConkey and his fraternity brothers took turns shooting a cannon. This is fun and I just wanted to do it, McConkey said. I ' m pretty piunped, but Homecoming is a lot of stress. The cannon was a 25-year-old tradition for the fraternity. With each Bearcat touchdown they loaded powder in a ram rod and put it in the cannon barrel to make a louder boom. As Saturday came to an end, smdents parked their floats and abandoned their clown costumes to b in a night fiee of stress. According to Homecoming r ;ularions, the floats and house decorations had to be destroyed before Sunday night. At the Delta Chi house, members and alumni planned to do just that. There was an unspoken Delta Chi tradition that some time during its annual Homecoming party with the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority, the house decoration would be destroyed. An entire month of building, pomping and preparation would all collapse in a matter of minutes. It seems kind of odd that you work that long on something just to knock it down, Joel Dickes, Delta Chi president, said. It obviously can ' t stay up, and it ' d be nice to keep parts of it, but there ' d be no where to keep it and we have no use for it. Late Saturday night. Delta Chi and theTri-Sigmas destroyed $2,000 of work, time and patience. However, this was not dissatisfying for the members. Homecoming was merely a time for them to build a sense of unity and continue tradition. I guess the entire thing about Homecoming is slipping around and seeing what ' s going on, Dickes said. It re-emphasizes why I wanted to become a Greek. It ' s just one big weekend out of the year where everybody ' s around, and that makes the Greek community really tight. The closeness of the Greek community and the campus was most apparent Sunday afternoon when the parade participants gathered at Rickenbrode for the awards presentation. After Phi Mu and Sigma Phi Epsilon were awarded best overall for their float, members screamed, cried and hugged each other. This is the greatest feeling in the world, Shannon Flinn said as she wrapped her arms around a sorority sister. It takes so much time to do all of this, but it is so worth it. It is the most exciting feeling in the world. dentLife

by Todd Snawl Tired and hungry after a long night out on the town, students continued to loyally patronize one of Maryville ' s eating establishments to remedy their late-night cravings. Because the drive-thru w indow never closed, Hardee ' s continued to be a favorite stop for students before they returned home for the night. With weekends being the busiest nights of the week, Hardee ' s made between $700 and $ 1 ,000 each night. The late-night business was good for Hardee ' s, and it occasionally produced some interesting and memorable experiences for employees and customers. One rime I remember a drunk guy putting up a bunch of police tape all around the drive-thru area, and he wouldn ' t let anyone else through, Hardee ' s employee Tiffany Kirkpatrick said. I also had a drunk guy throw a beer botde at me. Students often experienced some ftinny situations as a result of their trip for a late-night snack. My roommate and I went to Hardee ' s late one night to eat, and she decided to go and pull on the locked front doors of the store, setting off the security alarm in the process, Lisa Shawler said. Other students had different reasons for remembering their late- night Hardee ' s experience. I would always tell the people at the drive-thru that it was my birthday, and they would sometimes give me free food, Melissa Berecek said. I also remember the huge line of cars filled with crazy people waiting to order at the drive-thru. Others remembered simpler details about their dining experience at Hardee ' s. I would always order a couple of hot ham and cheese sandwiches after I left the bar, Brian Miller said. There ' s nothing better than Hardee ' s food at 3 a.m. With its appealing graveyard shift and extensive menu, which included delicacies such as biscuits and gravy, Frisco burgers and curly fries, Hardee ' s was a popular choice for many Northwest students. Not only was Hardee ' s a place to cure the munchies, it provided many students with a lifetime of memories. The blur of customers through Hardee ' s is a common sight after midnight. The line of cars often backs all the way around the restaurant, so late-night customers must be patient in order to receive their food.
