color guard paused its routine momentarily to rest. The team prac- ticed four days a week for performances. Students lined up along Jayhawk Blvd. in front of Wescoe where the largest crowd gathers. The marching band played tunes for the color guard to twirl to. Sigma Kappa and Triangle members rode along their float, waving to students and Lawrence residents. 11

Passport to Homecoming ition etched into Americana found its place at the University once again when the Passport to the Id homecoming festivities graced campus in late October with the annual parade and football game. Numerous floats and the University of Kansas Marching Band provided the entertainment for the Friday, Oct. 20 parade. The Kansas football team entertained spirited fans the next day by defeating Colorado 23-15, the Jayhawks ' second straight homecoming win against the Buffaloes. Kimberly Thompson, Springfield, Mo., junior, contributed to the homecoming spirit. Thompson, a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, spent two hours during the week pomping the Kappa Alpha Theta Phi Delta Theta float. Pomping involved putting colored tissue into chicken wire on floats. Despite the work, Thompson enjoyed the homecoming festivities. I liked the homecoming parade; the announcers were funny, she said. There was a good crowd at the game, and a bunch of people were tailgating. After attending Oklahoma ' s and Missouri ' s homecomings this year, Thompson said those schools involved the alumni more than the University, and they also had homecoming royalty. But she liked not having crownings in Lawrence. Some students spent time with visiting alumni. Kathryn Moore, Edina, Minn., senior and Alpha Delta Pi sorority member, enjoyed time with alum- nae. A bunch of alums from my sorority went with us to the bars that evening, Moore said. We went to the Jet Lag. Many of them hadn ' t been there since it was remodeled. Some of the alumnae also had some words of wisdom. They all kept saying ' You should stay in school ' and ' College is the best time of your life, ' Moore said. But I want to graduate. The influx of alumni also meant hectic times for other students. Koby Hartman, Clifton senior, was a cook at Sports Page Brewery. It was mainly a KU crowd, Hartman said about the restaurant on homecoming game day. It was just a crazy day. Also crazy were some fans at the Colorado game. A handful of KU students stormed the field to tear down the goal posts, but they were booed by students in the stands. Many fans didn ' t think a win against a 1-5 Colorado team warranted goal-post destruction. That was ridiculous, but at the same time, it was funny, Tyler Huslig, Kinsley junior, said.
