Princesses Mary Welch, Rosann Shellenberg and Kathy Bogan applaude the announcement of the Homecoming Queen, Miss Kate McCorkell. The 1968 royalty was announced a day late because of the can- cellation of the Four Tops concert. Miss McCorkell reigned over the parade, game and dance. Homecoming sees week of activities Explor ' 68 Homecoming activities all but filled the first week of December. The traditional Friday parade, basketball game and dance were preceded in the week by the motion picture Taming of the Shrew on Sunday, a folk music concert with Danny Cox on Monday, and Thursday night ' s pep rally- bonfire. Kate McCorkell reigned as Homecoming Queen. The first attendant was Mary Pat McCluskey. Deanna Kern was second attendant. The School of Pharmacy won the float competition in the parade, while the Delta Sigma Pi-Kappa Beta Chi entry, all 102 feet of it, survived a fire and took second honors. The Illinois basketball team took some of the joy out of Homecoming by handing the Bluejays a 69-66 defeat at the Civic Auditorium. The Homecoming dance, held at Peony Park, fea- tured the music of the Spirit of St. Louis. Part of the official duties that befall a president of the Student Board of Governors is kissing the Homecoming queen. Ed Warin congratulates Queen Kate. 2

f The 102 feet long Delta Sigma Pi-Kappa Chi float arrives on pagoda. The float, too large to be in much of the parade and the campus. The Homecoming theme of Explor the Far East partially destroyed by fire, won second place in the large float was carried out with an elephant, palm trees, natives and a division. Parade marshal William Briggs makes a final check with his traffic controllers at the parade assembly point behind the Omaha Civic Auditorium. An Omaha fireman works to extinguish the fire on the Delta Sigma Pi-Kappa Beta Chi float. The fire delayed the parade and almost prevented the float from reaching the campus.
