:«i3 Dead Man ' s Float . I had never had homocidal tendencies until I worked on a homecoming float. Gluing little pieces of paper to a cat ' s paper head and pulling apart two-ply napkins for 48 hours could bring out the worst in Punky Brewster Luckily we all made it through alive, a little jittery from mass amounts of Folgers, but alive. I loved it though and everyone seemed to grow a lot closer in those weeks through the tedious work, long hours, and cold October nights mornings. Melinda Lum, an active member of a 72 hour float support crew, recalls, Working on our float gave us the opportunity to meet people we may have never met. It also allowed us to see these people at their very best in the wee hours of the morning. To no surprise we spent a substantial amount of our budget bribing people with pizza to work but there were always those willing to work for the sheer joy of it. In the end our float stood there in all its glory, our faces beaming with pride. No blood shed, and perhaps there was a part of us all that was sad that it was all over Homecoming definately left us with bitter-sweet memories but not one regret. • Kathie Anderson Courtyards full of wood, tools, and busy workers were a common set- ting all over campus the weeks preceding Homecoming.
