“Homeconti The week of Homecoming 2004 started out with a driz- zle and ended in a downpour. The rain was just as much a part of Homecoming this year as were the tradi- tional events. The window painting competition was rained out on Monday. Tuesday ' s Step Show was a major hit. Thirteen groups competed. The Black Student Alliance took home first place in the co-ed division. Phi Mu took home first in the women ' s division, and Pi Kappa Alpha look home first place in the men ' s division, also winning the overall competition of the night. The University Program Council put together an eventful night on Thursday with the Pep Rally held at McFarland Park. Hundreds of students came out to show their spirit for the UNA Lions Football team. The rain held off for the parade. Pine and Court streets were filled with eager little children wanting to get a jump start on their Halloween stash. Alpha Tau Omega took home first place in the Float competition. The 2004 Homecoming King and Queen were Caroline Beumer and Carter Ledgewood, and Phi Mu won the over- all spirit competition of the week. Some fans stuck it out in the rain till the end of the game but were sent home wet with rain and tears after the Lions lost to Valdosta State 24-20. — Laura Beth Mastroianni ”
