The front circle came alive with the color of floats and signs for the weekend. HOMECOMING The University of Evansville was an exciting place to be in October, as students, parents and alumni united to celebrate fall homecoming for both the football and soccer teams. Preparation for the festivities began early, as Campus groups joined forces to build lawn displays, support queen and king con- testants and plan activities for parents and alumni. At last the Friday of homecoming week- end arrived and the floats were finally assembled in the front circle, where they were judged in two seperate categories. First place for a mechanical float went to the Engineering Club. In the non-mechanical division, the Phi Mu Sigma Alpha Epsilon team took top honors with their Aces Double Stuff Homecoming” display, while Lambda Chi Chi Omega took second place and Hughes Hall took third. Purple pride grew even stronger at Friday night’s pep rally, as fans assembled to show their support for the teams. Following the in- torduction of the football and soccer players, UE cheerleaders led a comp etition to determine which campus group had the most school spirit. The women of Phi Mu and Sigma Alpha Epsilon tied for this award. Also, the banner competition was won by Brentano Hall. Visiting alumni were kept busy Saturday, as President and Mrs. Graves hosted a picnic for the alumni and nearly all Greek organizations held open houses. Campus tours were offered by UE’s Student Founda- tion, while various University departments had luncheons and tours. The men of Phi Kappa Tau and Tau Kappa Epsilon held their dedication ceremonies for their new houses. Performances of the University of Evansville Theater’s Amadeus’ were also given nightly throughout the weekend. Although the football Aces were un- successful in their attempt to defeat Butler University, UE’s soccer team won over Wisconson-Green Bay 7-0. The football half- time ceremonies also produced some winners. Hughes Hall’s Jeremy White was crowned king, followed by first runner-up Doug Matheson of Sigma Phi Epsilon and second runner-up Bill Hodge of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The results of the queen contest were a litle unusual, with a tie for both queen and second runner-up. Fall homecoming queens for 1986 were Donise Herberer of Chi Omega and Kathy Vowell of Hughes Hall. Second runner-ups were Phi Mu’s mae Byers and Lisa Myers of Brentano all. | lawn ines liry OF! LLE
