against Stanford, preceded by a Kick-the-Red- 3ut Soccer Tailgate at the Alumni House. The fact that we were able to give highlight and jxposure to the soccer team when football gets sredominantly all the attention in the press «as great, said Simon. The Creek community had a few of its own events, including a sorority progressive dinner, where one house invited another house over ' or dinner and dessert was then served at the Dther house, and the All Creek Invitational, jreek Week is held every year, and Anastasia jtamos. the overall events coordinator, thought n order to make both Homecoming and Creek Week bigger, both events should be held imultaneously. A lot of times. Homecoming s considered a Creek-only event, said Simon. Traditionally across the country, fratemi- ies and sororities have been big participants nd supporters. However, the traditional lomecoming wouldn ' t work at Berkeley, and I Students have a chance to network with someone From the class of 1939, when rent was only four dollars. hink the students did an excellent job to get he Creek support, but also, political groups, social groups, literature groups, and athletic groups that normally don ' t get a whole bunch of atten tion during the week. There really was something for everyone. Next year. Aguiar would like to focus more on the weekend when alumni and parents are back. Simon would also like to see the events on the weekend grow, because for him the weekend represented the life cycle of students to alumni throughout the week. Students have a chance to network with someone from the class of 1939. when rent was only four dollars. There is a real value in having a sense of understanding of the history of the place you ' re attending. The success of this week was clearly evident in student group participation, which more than quadrupled this year. Simon felt the success of the week was attributed to the leadership of 19 students, representing over 55 campus organizations. I think a lot of times projects on this campus fail because the students behind them are all from the same place. said Simon. Having such a diverse Student Homecoming Team helped the event be successful from the very start because those people had the connec- tions to all these different pockets of the com- munity around Cal. The success of this year ' s events had the campus ready for the prospects of future Homecoming Weeks that are even larger. In looking to next year. Aguiar exclaimed, 1 would like to continue [to make Homecom- ing] bigger and better.... so hopefully people will look forward to it as a fun way to start off the year. Now that people know about it. I ' ll think we ' ll be able to get a lot bigger and get a lot more student groups involved. rr A bounce house on Lower Sproul Plaza allows students to return to the days of their youth. Throughout the week, students had various actlvltes to participate in from student performances 10 academic- related eveents.

An ilumni returns to Cal for Homecoming md reflects on fiis time fiere on campus. Alumni represented generitlons past of Ca md allowed students to get a greater sense of tfie history of Cal ranged from academics and current events to Cal trivia. The students left victorious with 4.200 points, while the faculty scored 3.500 points. It was a nice opportunity for the fac- ulty and students to get together, because on this campus, except for office hours, it ' s really tough to see faculty outside the classroom or In the lab. I liked the fact that the audience got to see the human side of some of the faculty. said Simon. Johnny Moseley. the 1998 Olympic gold medal winner in the moguls, participated o n the student side, despite the fact that he had two midterms the next day. Students were very excited about this event and numerous people came up to Scheele asking her how to become a member of the student team. Audience members had the chance to win four roundtrip tickets to anywhere in the United States, cour- tesy of Southwest Airlines. What would Homecoming be without a rally? On Friday there was not one. but two rallies. The first was the noon rally on Sproui and the second was a rally at 7 p.m. in Haas Pavilion, the culmination of the week for the Rally Committee. The rally was huge this year. said Simon. I would like to think that was because there were some really nice synergies and marketing opportunities. The fact that we were able to get them their posters two and a half to three weeks before the rally gave Rally Committee a lot of time to prepare and get people to come Immediately following the Homecom- ing Rally. Cal Illuminated: A Retrospective Experience left from the Alumni House with approximately 200 people. This nighttime tour of campus, sponsored by the California Alumni Association Student Homecoming Team, Peefs Coffee and Tea. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Semifreddi ' s Bakery, allowed participants to experience the beauty, history and folklore of Cal through a guided tour by blue-and-gold glow sticks. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Memorial Clade was filled with children partaking in the Homecom ing Carnival and Cubfest on Saturday, which has happened for the past five years. There were 18 student organizations that hosted 25 booths. Among the activities were a balloon artist, face painting, carnival games, arts and crafts, and a pie toss. In terms of numbers, the Carnival and Cubfest was the biggest event of the week, with 740 people in attendance. 250 of which were children. It was really good because 1 saw parents, students, faculty-the future, present and past, of Cal-all together at once. said Aguiar. i see [Cubfest) as the per- sonification of what Homecoming is supposed to be Football was not the only sporting event ivolved in the multitude of homecoming activi ties. Before the football game on Saturday, the California women faced off against the University of the Pacific in a field hockey game at Maxwell Family Field and won in overtime, and the men competed In ice hockey against use. Sunday featured the men ' s soccer matct

V Daring Ol students celebrate during the game by participating In crowd surfing. With thousands of fans flooding Stanford ' s stadium, a cushion of arms was always readily available. Rodgers threads the Stanford defense for a California reception. Having a career day. Rodgers completed 26 passes for a total of 3S9 yards to lead the Golden Bears In retaining the Axe. Over 10,000 California students share the lights of their candles as they listen to the traditional Spirit of California, recited sat every annual Big Came Bonfire. by Megan Kinninger Every collegiate athletic team sets goals to motivate themselves to work hard day in and day out, on and off the field. Jeff Tedford coached a team that knew their goal: to face each game as a new season, to concentrate and to work hard on the present challenge. In 2003, the second year California head coach went as far as turning off the offensive statistics scoreboard during games in Memorial Stadium so his team would not worry about overall accomplish- ments but rather saturate themselves in the glories of team unity. This mindset was present throughout the sea- son, but as always, California fans began to shift their attention at the end of the season to the Stanford Axe. The best part was that we already had it! After the 2002 30-7 victory over Stanford. California won the Axe and displayed it with pride as the crowd rushed the field of Memorial Stadium. For the 2003 California football team, it was apparent as the team gazed at their trophy after their last practice on Friday what their goal was for the year-to keep the Axe! The big day of the 106th Big Came finally came on November 22. The biennial migration of California fans to Palo Alto and the Stanford campus began at dawn. Tailgates were seen as early as 8 a.m. amongst the trees on the Farm. The day was crisp and clear, and every California fan was filled with hope and excitement. Big Came 2003 approached as both bands-Stanford and all its chaos, and California with pomp and circumstance-performed pre-game songs. The California section was packed as the Stanford sec- tion waned, begging for people to fill its numer- ous cold seats. The Stanford Axe was presented at mid-field by the UC Rally Committee, and Califor- nia fans were ready to cheer on their team. Kickoff was at I2:j8 p.m. and California received the ball, but ended this first play with a fumble, returning the ball to Stanford. Within the next five minutes, Stanford scored both a field goal and touchdown. California continueo to be troubled by turnovers, with three fumbles and one interception in the first half. And even when the Bears were able to hold on to the ball in the second quarter, California stayed scoreless with Tyler Fredrickson missing two field goals, a 30-yard and a nearly impossible 49-yard attempt. Unable to mount a successful first half drive. Call fornia stayed scoreless throughout the first half of the game, entering halftime with a 0-10 deficit California fans ' worst nightmare seemed to be coming true. Held scoreless and playing slop- pily, the Bears seemed less likely to hold onto
