HOMECOMINGe 1985: Blue and White Day Parade Saturday, October 19, 1985 9:00 am. Starting at 4th and Wabash he waves of the simulated Wabash rippled gently. Fish dived in and out of the water, frantically evading their hunter. The stoic Indian sat silently, nFishing for Sycamore Victory. The first place winners, Division A, of the Blue and White Day Parade float contest were Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, Mills, Army ROTC, Chi Omega sorority and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Based upon its production cost, each float is placed into one of three categories: division A, $800 - $1250; division B, $500 - $800; and division C, $200 - $500. The contest was judged by three individuals who are not con- nected to the university. Judges are affiliated with festivals and float companies throughout the Midwest, said parade co-coordina- tor Chris McKee, Terre Haute junior. The major areas of evaluation criteria were theme, coordina- tion, animation, originality and general effectiveness, he added. Winners of the overall best floats from each division were awards ed plaques. The float contest is one of the most competitive Homecoming events, said Angie Bruce, parade co-coordinator and Paris, IL sophomore. uPeople put a lot of time, money and work into it . . . there were a lot of really good floats this year? Second place winners were the Theta Chi fraternity, Alpha Phi sorority, Sandison, Hines and Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority. The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, Gamma Phi Beta sorority, Lincoln Quad, Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and Sigma Kappa sorority captured third place. About 177 units marched in the Blue and White Day Parade, which is one of the largest student organized processions in the nation. 20 Student Life I I Photo by Kevin Alexander
