PURPLE CRAZE DAYS Spirits and enthusiasm sparked a week full of homecoming hoopla Homework was and books were thrown aside. It was homecoming week. When homecoming arrived, spirited students worked day and night to floats, skits and cheers. The theme — Changing our Ways, It ' s a K-State Craze showed up The Blue Key Honor Society was in charge of the festivities. We wanted to play off the athletic theme Purple Haze Craze to show that homecoming, athletics and the University could all pull together, said Joni Everhart, Blue Key publicity coordinator and senior in journalism and mass communications. Changes in homecoming included revival of yard art. Groups could build floats, decorate lawns or both. It was a good chance for groups without large budgets to participate in homecoming. They could still participate in the parade by carrying banners, Everhart said. Due to inclement weather, the Saturday parade was canceled. Other competitive categories included Yell Like Hell, Body Building, Pant the Chant and the Banner. Everhart said Pant the Chant was the most popular event. Body Building or Yell Like Hell is usually, but this year it was Pant the Chant. We had the whole team with Coach Snyder there. It psyched the team up for the game, Everhart said. The Black Student Union took first place in the Pant the Chant competition. The Wildcats went up against the University of Kansas Jayhawks in the classic intrastate rivalry. Although the Wildcats were unable to win, the day was memorable. KSU Ambassadors were announced at the game. Darcy Stephenson, junior in speech pathology and audiology, and Dennis sophomore in political science, were named as of the University and student body. The spirit march began Friday evening in Aggieville and went from Anderson Avenue to Memorial Stadium.
