Bond The festivities continued Saturday with a parade. The float constructed by the KDS and Sigma Chis, with the theme Big Red-Cut Canadian Hero, captured the first-place title. The float featured an oversized Big Red as a Canadian mountie on a white horse. A KD, tied to railroad tracks in front of the mascot, yelled for help. Though their float won, correlating the float to the Homecoming theme was no easy task, KD Me- lissa Scott, a Louisville senior, said. The theme was almost impossible to work with, Scott said. We had a hard time relating how the theme had anything to do with Homecoming. Second place went to Pearce-Ford Tower and Poland Hall while Delta Sigma Pi fraternity won the third-place title. In between the breakfasts and dinners, students and alumni managed to squeeze in the game. But many left the game early to get a good seat at the annual step show, sponsored by the United Black Greeks. At halftime, crowds began to gather at the Block in front of Downing University Center to watch black greeks strut their stuff and poke fun at each other. In one skit, Delta Sigma Theta sorority sisters -Iofm Dunham accused Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority of requiring pledges to purchase a Gucci purse. The AKAS coun- tered by saying the Deltas carried fake Gucci purses. That's the fifth or sixth step show that I've been to. This one was by far the best, LaMont jones, an Owensboro junior, said. The AKAS looked gor- geous in their green. Part of the week's activities included the Hang- ing of the Red, where residence halls competed to see who could hang the most red out of their win- dows. Objects such as red sweaters and towels were seen dangling from the metal edges of windows, while one ledge sported a teddy bear dressed in a Western cheerleader's uniform. McCormack and Rodes-Harlin halls nailed down the first-place award while Potter Hall snagged sec- ond place. This is my first Homecoming, Melissa Bird- well, a Springfield, Tenn., freshman, said. I'm not sure if it,s what I expected or not. But I really liked seeing the red hanging from the windows. It showed support, not just for the team, but for the whole school.
