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

HOMECOMING 1985 Football Game ISU vs. Western Illinois Saturday, October 19, 1985 Story by John Teglas ISU Marching Band Members toot their horns jubilantly during the ISU vs. Western Illinois Homecoming game. 22 Student Life Photo by Kevin Alexander 1:30 pm Memorial Stadium ctober 19th, 1985 marked this years homecoming date for the nghting Sycamores of Indiana State University. This year the Sycamores were put to the test in their homecoming game against the Leathernecks of Western Illinois. What a ball game for Indiana State as their amazing quarterback Jeff Miller, playing in his last year, whipped that cannon arm of his striking out a school record of five touchdowns in the game lifting the Fighting Sycamores to a 42 to 24 victory. First half scoring went like this. With 11:20 left in the first quarter, Miller nails ilT Bell in the end zone for a 7 to 0 lead. The - Sycamores quickly got the ball back on a Leatherneck turnover, leaving Charles Walls to run in for a touchdown making the score 14 to 0 after the Bridges kick. The fireworks didn't stop yet in the first quarter as Bill Hayes pulled down a simple four yard pass from Miller with 1:54 left making it 21 to 0 at the end of quarter one. Western Illinois finally got on the board as Paul Singer threw a twelve yard pass to Ken Huddleston for seven. The Leathernecks hit the scoreboard again as they kicked a field goal with 3:20 left in the half. Half time score was ISU 21, WIU 10. In third quarter action, ISU started the scoring in the second half as Miller hit Joe Downing for a touchdown. Eight minutes later Miller threw another T.D. pass, this time to Gary Cannon, the score was 35 to 10 at this point. The Leathernecks who had been behind all games, sparked themselves with another touchdown as Valle Camille ran into the end zone with 7:45 left in the game. Joe Downing struck again as he moved past the Western defense to catch his second touchdown of the game, making the score 42 to 17. Western still tried to keep their head above the water as Albert Brown received a twenty yard pass from back up quarterback Rick Fahnestock, with a little over three minutes left in the game. Who knows what the score would have been if they had played a few more quarters. Maybe Jeff Miller would have thrown for touchdown after touchdown. ilHey, we win Homecoming . . . ii
