o o o BLAME IT ON THE ,-iiother tradition at the University came ' i ' .- ' iwith Homecoming W eKrm early November. Students anxiously awaited the week ' s events as sopho- more Suzanne Vento said, I ' m really looking forward to the new events like the stu- dent social and the carnival. Student Government con- tributed a great deal to in- crease the number of activ- ities open to students. On Monday evening TROOP performed a concert at the Moon. Admission was free to all University stu- dents, and buses were pro- vided from campus at no cost. Two performances en- abled more students to at- tend. An all new skit competi- tion was held on Tuesday at the Late Night Library. All Greek homecoming pairings, as well as campus organiza- tions, were encouraged to participate. Each skit was to be based on the theme Seminole Spirit Across the Land. Awards were given for Most Creative, Alpha Delta Pi and Alpha Tau Omega; Most Crowd Participation, Alpha Delta Pi and Alpha Tau Omega; and Best Props went to Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Phi Epsilon. The top three skits were named to compete again at Pow Wow. Tri Delta and Sig Ep with their version of Little Shop of Denver; Delta Pi, Sigma Nu, and Phi Kappa Psi with the Philadelphia Patriotism to the Seminoles; and Kappa Delta, Beta Theta Pi, and Sig- ma Chi with their version of Bill and Ted ' s Excellent Ad- venture were all among the top three competitors for Fri- day ' s Pow Wow. Student Government held a student social on Landis Green Wednesday with free food and drinks. Student sen- ators and cabinet members were there to speak to stu- dents about their concerns. This opportunity enabled students to meet their cam- pus leaders. As for the Greeks, Wednes- day night brought a unique competition. House Decora- tions. Each Greek pairing was given a small budget and asked to decorate one room in the fraternity ' s house to the theme of their city. The first place winners were Al- pha Delta Pi and Alpha Tau Omega with a room decorat- ed with Alaskan ice and an- imals. After all the houses were judged, each pairing held a social to celebrate. A carnival was another new event sponsored by Stu- dent Government. Free rides with games and carnival food were provided to all Univer- sity students. It was a huge success. It was really a lot of fun, the atmosphere was like a real carnival, but everything was free, Allison Collins said. As alumni began arriving, everyone eagerly awaited the Homecoming parade on Fri- day afternoon. The rain, however, put a damper on all the excitement as threats of cancellation rang out around the campus. No one would give up after weeks of prep- aration, so as students and the community lined up with umbrellas and raincoats the parade went on. Past Home- coming Queens from as early as the 1940 ' s drove through the streets followed by com- munity and campus officials, the Marching Chiefs, cheer- leaders, and decorated floats. The floats were judged ac- cording to their creative ap- proach of tying in Seminole Spirit Across the Land with their individual city themes. Tri Delta and Sigma Phi Ep- silon presented the ski slopes of Denver stretching across to land to the Wescott build- ing and received third place. Second place was awarded to Kappa Alpha Theta and Pi Kappa Psi for their giant movable Mickey Mouse. Al- pha Delta Pi and Alpha Tau Omega took first place with their Seminole riding on a killer whale. Friday evening brought the annual Pow Wow with Bruce Homsby and the Range, and comedian Richard Jeni. Sat- urday saw the long awaited game as the Seminoles fought the Cincinnati Bearcats.
