The Greek Theater was packed with enthusiastic students wav¬ ing signs and dancing around. Junior Sarah Loyd remem¬ bered the pep rally as the open¬ ing of Homecoming Weekend where the intense hopes for a win was obvi¬ ous. “There was just so much spirit,” Loyd said. “You could feel it when the alumni cheerleaders participated, especially Willie Oats. The pep rally is more outgoing than the others. The people are all rallied up and ready to have a good time.” This year’s homecoming cel¬ ebrated not only the Old Main re¬ dedication, but also the long up¬ holding University traditions. Stu¬ dents and alumni attended a Cougar Fry, dressed-up and attended the game where the homecoming queen was presented. Sophomore Stephanie Dyer said that dressing up in red and white added so much to the game. “It showed our school spirit and faith in the Hogs to the opposing team,” Dyer said. “When you see the wave of red and white through the stands, it makes you feel proud. You know it makes the team more pumped up and play better.” After attending a brunch with her date at the Pi Kappa Alpha house, where their annual Riverboat was taking place, sophomore Angela Jackson and her date attended the game sitting with the whole frater¬ nity. “There were a lot more people at the game,” Jackson said. “We were all crammed together and you could feel the excitement.” CAMPUS LIFE 10

EBBRECHT PHOTO A SHOCKER “My heart dropped to my feet, and I was in disbelief.” OMECOMING is a time when friends and family come back to the university and celebrate the long tradition of the Razorback home. For homecoming queen, Rachel White, having her friends and family at the game made all the difference. “It was wonderful having them here be¬ cause my parents are my biggest fans,” she said. “They support me in everything, and it would not have meant as much to be queen if they were not there.” When White, who represented Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, received the call letting her know she was chosen queen, she said she went into shock and was thankful. “I remember thinking, ' Oh my God, No way!,’” she said. “I could not believe it. My heart dropped to my feet, and I was in disbelief.” For White, homecoming day was a dream. After attending a brunch at her sorority house, she enjoyed meeting everyone at the game. She said a special part of the day was getting to be with her good friend and fellow cheerleader, Josie Ware, who was last year’s queen. “It was a beautiful day,” White said. “It was special because Josie and I got to sit to with each other at the game.” A psychology major, White said that she had always loved the Razorbacks and had always wanted to attend Arkansas. White said that she hoped that she was a good representative of the school. “I think I am a good representative be¬ cause I am real positive toward the school and I try to show respect to the teachers and the school’s values,” she said. Besides being involved in the homecom¬ ing activities, White represented the Uni¬ versity at the Cotton Bowl where she at¬ tended banquets and was in the annual parade. “It was neat to represent the school and get to know the other people,” White said. “All the schools in the SWC were repre¬ sented at halftime and we honored the A M queen. It was a real exciting experi¬ ence to be involved and get to learn about other schools.” ■ Kim Tracey CAMPUS LIFE 12
