Disneyland Wonderful World of Northwest -continued rhicken wire in our construction, Rick Jacobsen said about the South Complex house dec. We worked about three weeks on our house dec, Jacobsen said. We probably had 30 people involved. There was a contest between floors. The floor having the most people involved won a pizza. Another highlight to Homecoming was the parade. Participants entered floats, jalopies, group and individual clowns. The parade went pretty well. There were a few more bands this year, Dave Teeter said. This was the first time in three years it didn ' t rain on the parade. The absence of rain made the Homecoming parade a little bet- ter for everyone. Clowns were also a large part of the parade. Being a clown, I felt more in- volved in Homecoming, Susan Miles said. I loved being able to greet the public. It was fun. Overall parade winners includ- ed a tie between Delta Chi and Phi Sigma Epsilon in the Greek men ' s division, Phi Mu for Greek women and Sigma Society in the independent category. An accident occurred during the parade which caused con- cern and controversy. Janice Rickman was struck by an independent jalopy entry driven by Tom Burson. Rickman, part of the Delta Zeta clown en- try, was hit when Burson put the vehicle in forward gear. Although the parade was mar- red by the accident, Homecom- ing festivities continued. Playing one of only four home games, and getting rained on in the end of the fourth quarter, the Bearcats pulled off a 30-28 vic- tory against Southeast Missouri State before a large crowd. Wide receiver, Steve Hansley ran 131 yards for nine receptions and scored two touchdowns to earn the Don Black Memorial Trophy, given to an outstanding Bearcat in the Homecoming game. With the football team doing so well, the whole thing was more exciting. Everyone was really hyped up, Teeter said. Victory complete, celebrating done and floats and house decs torn down, Homecoming came to its traditional close. -Maryann McWilliams Stacey Porterfield Story time Reading a bedtime story during lll« VIV mu Alpha Variety show skit, Karl Jacoby gave the Northwest version ot Winnie the Poo.
