LECTURES, EXHIBITIONS, DINNERS, AND COMPETITIONS CONTRIBUTED TO THE REVERIE. ljlMt Jir » 1 LWjn I r5M JVlWflUJ. I r1 AlN J« juv task for a school that was 32,000 strong, but according to Laura Bcrge. Acting | Homecoming Director of Universit) ' Relations, it takes i i 1 ,i halt to plan for each Homecoming. . .Some thmgs never ger easier ro plan, wliile others don ' t get more difficult cither. The biggest challenge UR faced was the uncertam time of the habitual homecoming football game. We plan other events around this uncertain block of time so it can be a bit difficult, said Bcrgc. Homecoming 2002 was held fiom October 18 ' ' ' to October 20 ' Bcrge, who was part of the class of ' 98, along with 30 other organizers from the Cal Parents Board and the Alumni Association, were hard at work sending out invitations to the members of the classes of ' 52, ' 57, ' 62, ' 67, ' 72, ' 77, ' 82, ' 87, ' 92, and ' 97. The class of ' 48, ' 49, and ' 51 also participated in Homecoming 2002 because they had so much fvai at their last reunion they i didn ' t want to dela)- tiicir meeting until it was their cycle, said Berge. Homecomings were held e ery five years for each respective class and for some,] those five years added up to a life time. Walter Frcudenthal, 27, was the only participant lot hi.-. Freudenthal was accompanied by his family and was honored as the oldest alum present, said Alice Boarivright of Universit P lir: n ; Freudenthal was still proud of his alma mater of 75 years. This pride that withstood the havocs of war was carried throughout thcj whole three-day Homecoming celebration. Each reunion class had registrants pay anywhere from $10 to $100 to attend events. This year we had an increase of 47°d of participants from 20018 4,447, said Bergc. The year 2000 had a marginal 1.8% increase with a number of 3,512 compared to I999 ' s 3,451 registrants. A probable cause for the increase of registrants for the past four years was the Homecoming format that was begun in 1997. Before 1997, Homecoming was either commemorated during Big Game week or was initiated whenever a Southern California school would play our football team, said Berge. After 1997, Homecoming was held during its own special slot in the grand scheme oi Universit) ' Events and Ceremonies. Future Homecomings were slated for October 3-5, 2003 (Cal vs. Oregon State), October 15-17, 2004 (Cal vs. UCLA), and September 30-October 2. 2005 (Cal vs. Arizona). October 19 ' ' ' , 2002. saw the clash between the baby bears from t University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Cal bears. Cal was able to muster a 17-12 victory over the junior hears, marking their fifth consecutive win of the season. Not only was their cheering and support in Memorial Stadium f or the players, but other events attracted many students, faculty, and alums to take advantage of the many opportunities and events L ' R had planned tor them. Most notable was the Bear Fair with an attendance of 2,500 people. The :or vs.M 4

Amv Merrill, a junior majoring in English and music, and pan of the award winning all-female a cappella group, the California Golden Overtones, who performed at the event said, we sang Cal songs. It was great, and a lot of people were there, like the Rally Committee. There was a really upbeat environment. Other showcases durmg the Rally were self-defense exhibitions by thcTac Kwon Do club, a triumphant display of the C al Bike Race team ' s golden tournev trophy, and the Cal Band. Not onlv were there events held in the accommodanng venue, but ot her facilities around campus were put to use. The class of ' 67 had their reunion dinner under a 32-toot tall fossil of aTrannosaurus Rex in the Wallace Atrium in theX ' alley Life Sciences Building.

A total of over $1.5 million dollars was presented to the University Fund collectively. While night-time festivities were mainly focused on unveiling class gifts, day-time events drew great crowds into lectures halls. Different schools and colleges that call Berkeley home held a myriad of events for their alumni, faculty, and students. Professor oi Chemistry and Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Michael Marietta, offered a lecture on the adverse effect of an environmental pollutant on blood pressure tor friends of the College of Chemistry. The Graduate School of Journalism showcased a talk on ethics and the .American press, led by Cynthia Gorney, Associate Professor oi journalism. The College of Letters and Sciences, which housed the largest number of students and faculty, had a wide range of discussions and talks. These talks ranged anywhere from tactics on how to teach Americans to spend money, bv lecturer for American Studies, Kathleen S. Moran, to a unique glimpse into the neuroanatomy world bv Professor of Integrative Biology, Marian Diamond, whose talk focused on news about the brain and enrichment. Boatwright pointed out that with an immersion course in lite at UC Berkeley, with 25 lectures in two days; museums, libraries, gardens and other facilities to explore; and events from the Cal Parents reception to the Homecoming Rally to attend, it was hard to find little to do for Homecoming 2002. t
