Fall Homecoming 1987 he University of Evansville was definitely the place to be the weekend of soccer and football Homecoming, October 9 - 11. Preparation began early in the week as campus groups joined forces to build lawn displays, support queen and king contestants and plan activities for parents and alumni. Things began to fit in place as purple pride grew even stronger at Wednesday night’s pep rally. Fans assembled to meet and to show their support for the teams. The Acettes performed and the UE cheerleaders started the week-long competition to determine which campus group had the most school spirit. The homecoming celebration began Friday with the floats assembled in the front circle, where they were judged in two seperate categories. The Engineering and Nursing schools teamed up to capture first place for the mechanical float. In the non-mechanical division, the Chi Omega Tau Kappa Epsilon team took top honors, while Sigma Alpha Epsilon Phi Mu took second place and Phi Kappa Tau Zeta Tau Alpha took third. That night the soccer team used their winning combination to defeat Wisconsin-Madison, 2 to 0. Finally, football homecoming was here. Although the weather was dismal, purple pride illuminated the University. The football half-time ceremonies produced some winners. Sigma Phi Epsion’s Matt Shaffer was crowned king while Alpha Omicron Piss Carrie Wing was crowned queen. First runner-up were Forrest Brumbaugh of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Christy Campbell of Chi Omega and second runners-up were David Boulander of Hughes Hall and Cynthia Mckonles of Morton Hall. The football Aces took a defeat from Valpraiso’s Crusaders, 28 to 14. Sunday the Homecoming winning started again when the Aces soccer team grabbed a victory over the Marquette Warriors, 5 to 1. At half-time, the spirit award went to Lambda Chi and the banner award went to Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Left photo: A group of Chi Omegas gathered to show their suport for the Aces at the bonfire.
