here s no place like home Homecoming a success despite unwanted rain By Kim Jackson Despite damp conditions, homecoming brought out record numbers to make a most iuccessful game ever. Not only did the Lions •omp the University of Central Arkansas Bears, 3Ut over 11,000 people were gathered at Braly Stadium to watch the defeat. Events started on Friday after the school ihut down at 2:00 p.m. Students awoke to a lice sunny day, but at 3:30 p.m., the exact ime of the homecoming parade, rain came in arge drops. Spectators were soaked but their ipirits were not. Students, faculty, and commu- lity members came out in customary fashion and participants smiled and waved to the :rowd. Many convertible tops on cars were 3rought down to cover soaking beauty :jueens, but they smiled and waved just the iame. Even though bad weather was a factor. Dr. 3. Kembrel Jones, director of alumni relations and annual giving, was impressed with univer- sity students. Members of the parade kept Tiarching and students and community stayed to watch. It was a display of great pride, spirit, and tenacity that our parade participators and onlookers had. The downtown area was packed. There were more people in atten- dance than at any parade in the past, Jones said. Friday evening was the Alumni Awards Ceremony and Step Show in Norton Auditorium. Over 1,800 people were in atten- dance. Jones said, I was thrilled with this turnout. The event brought the alumni and the undergraduates together like never before. It was definitely a full-house event. Students did a fantastic job with the show. It was very entertaining. One thing can be said for the alumni, they were not ignored for this homecoming. At noon on Saturday, before the big game, a lun- cheon was held. More than 2000 alumni, undergraduates, and friends of the university attended the event. Finally, on Saturday at 1: 30 p.m., it was time to crown the new homecoming queen and recognize homecoming event winners. Kindra Moore was crowned homecoming queen during the pre-game show. On the booming loud speaker, sorority, fraternity, and club members listened for their group to be called out as an event winner. Taking home the overall women ' s division was Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. The winner of the men ' s division was Sigma Chi fraternity and the co-ed was won by the Baptist Campus Ministry. Other specific groups took home window painting ribbons and other contest awards. Before the big kick-off, a entertaining pre- game show was given by alumni members. There was an alumni choir, band, majorette line, and flag corp. The 150 members alumni choir led the crowd in the Star Spangled Banner. Of course, to cap off the weekend, UNA defeated the University of Central Arkansas Bears 28-21. Everything about homecoming went great, Jones said, All of the events that were strictly for alumni were packed. The parade turned out great despite the rain and all of the events of homecoming combined made this one the greatest ever. FUL NOISE. The Alumni Choir entertained a captive audience during pre-game activities. Former choir, and auxiliary members came together for the show. Photo by Amanda Shavers. EniiiV tm mm n WELCOME HOME.
