Gas... It ' s 121,667 Times Hitting The largest pep rally in the nation, Gator Growl has become infamous with Gator fans around the world. Homecoming itself is an exciting time at UF with cel- ebrations leading up to the game, including a parade and Gator Growl. The excitement culminates in the main event, the football game. With a student body as diverse as ours, it ' s hard to find something that appeals to every- one, luckily we have a little bit of everything.

From Student Government tions and Accent speakers to the numerous student concerts in the University Memorial Auditorium there was always something to do. 4 Student Life
