M um, candy, and suckers flew through the air and small children scurried into the streets to fill their pockets as Homecoming 85 activities continued with the traditional Saturday morning parade. Under the theme Let's Dance, the parade travelled up Illinois Avenue and wound back down Univer- sity Avenue to McAndrew Stadium. De- spite the rainy weather, the parade com- plete with antique cars, floats and march- ing bands had an enthusiastic crowd cheering them on. Several local bands strutted their stuff in honor of Homecoming. Murphysboro and Steeleville dazzled the crowd and stole top honors with their sharp march- ing and catchy cadences. Alpha Eta Rho conquered the float competition with its rendition of Snoopy' flying his airplane at two Southeast Mis- souri State Indians hanging from their goalpost. g Tailgate parties were also crowded de- spite the weather. Beer was the popular refreshment used to ward off the damp chill. However, the parking lot quickly cleared as the Budweiser Clydesdales pranced into McAndrew Stadium while the Marching Salukis played the Bud- weiser theme.

Dogs scalp the Indian 16 Featu res story by STEVEN RICH he Salukis played their 1985 Homecoming game in front of 13,200 enthusiastic fans and pleased them all with a 51-13 win over Southeast Missouri State. The defense and punt return team were the spark- plugs that the team needed. The de- fense intercepted four SEMO passes and forced two fumbles while holding the Indians to 212 yards total offense. The SIU punt return team scored two touch- downs and punt returner Sebron Spivey set a new record for punt return yardage in a single game with 143 yards. Kevin Brown, Pat King and loe Graves all played quarterback for SIU, but none of them played as well as expected. Brown injured his throwing arm early in the game and was forced to sit on the sidelines for the rest of the game. They completed only 5 of 18 passes with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Tail- back Byron Mitchell gained only 85 yards on 11 carrries, including one carry for 64 yards. Southern played well overall and at one time had a 51-0 advantage. The first Saluki points came when john Field returned an interception for a touchdown late in the first quarter. The second quarter proved to be the turning point in the game as the Salukis scored 30 points. Ron Miller kicked three field goals and Bobby Sloan, Tim Spencer and james Stevenson all scored touch- downs for SIU. This gave Southern a 37- 0 lead at the half. SIU continued their impressive play in the second half. Sebron Spivey returned two Indian punts for touchdowns.

The Home- coming win gave the Salukis a 4-3 over- all record.
