Homecoming: continued celebration ... Yell like hell. That was the theme at the Homecoming Week 1983 Spirit Rally. Centennial Towers West captured first place in the contest, followed by a combined effort from Gamma Phi Beta and Sigma Phi Epsilon, who placed second. In the banner contest, Chi Omega and Beta Sigma Psi won first place honors and CTW, seemingly on a roll, took second place. The en thusiasm of CTW sparkled as they were presented the annual sweepstakes award for participation during homecoming week. Gamma Phi Beta and Sigma Phi Epsilon received the se- cond place plaque for their spirit. Crowned as royalty for 1983 were Jo Fells, queen, sponsored by CTW, and Jed Snell, sponsored by Mantor Hall. First prince and princess were Dan Pavlik, Student Alumni Board can- didate, and Deb Lincoln, Panhellenic candidate. Intrafraternity Council representative, Milt Steiner, and CTE representative, Susan Stubblefield, were crowned second prince and princess. Spirit Week A celebration of excellence. The theme echoed throughout the homecoming parade before the game against Missouri Southern. The float entered by the Gamma Phis and Sig Eps won the first place trophy and the Phi Delta Theta and Alpha Phi float took second place. Chocolate cream was the theme during a pie-eating contest at which the Phi Kappa Tau team gorged its way to first place. To the Theta Xis, tacos will probably never taste the same again. The team crunched its way to a well-deserved victory at the end of the newest in homecoming activities. Two thousand feet of blue and gold ribbon graced the outer- most portions of the new Nebraskan-Student Union, dedicated during homecoming. There was a subtle twist in the ceremony, as seventy-two presidents or representatives from KSCs stu- dent organizations were invited to cut the ribbon with President Nester. Other events during the week, including Gene Cotton in con- cert. a spotlight concert by John Johnston, and Lester McNee- ly sporting his animal balloon creations, provided a full day of entertainment, as well as a fitting conclusion to an inspiring week. — Cindy Toline 22 Two thousand feet of blue and gold ribbon will soon become history
