In their Sweepstakes float the Lamba Chis and Thetas depicted The Pursuit of Happiness. On top of the Sigma Kappa float, a lonely paper puncher adds the finishing touches. Twenty - Seven Colorful Floats Parade at Homecoming 28 Since the city of Santa Barbara this year forbid all night float-building in Pershing Park, students spent until midnight Thursday and Friday wrestling with unruly bits of crepe paper and chicken wire in an energetic effort to complete their floats before the traditional Saturday morning parade down State Street. One float couldn ' t lumber out of Pershing Park, one knocked an unwary policeman from his motorcycle, sev- eral collided with trees and all left a trail of multi-colored crepe paper in their wake. Yet enthusiastic towns-people and students flocked to State Street to marvel at the twenty-seven floats and watch the Lambda Chi-Theta Pursuit of Happiness win the Sweepstakes Award. Queen Kasia Stefanek and Princesses Gini Burns Christie Dunbar and Nancy Hoskins reigned during the parade, the heartbreaking UCSB-Cal Western game and the dance at Earl Warren Showgrounds. Alumni were welcomed with get-togethers, open houses, the best seats for the football game, and a late night deluge which left Sunday morning cleanup crews with the tedious task of separating crepe paper and mud at Pershing Park. Perched on scaffolding, paper-punching crews scramble to meet the midnight deadline.
