First UNI Homecoming Marks Transition “Something Old, Something New was the theme for the 1967 Homecoming, October 2-8. To open the week, Susan Lindholm was crowned the 1967 Homecoming Queen at the Coronation Concert which included folk singing under the stars followed by the traditional light- ing of the torch. Toni Bonney, Gail Hansen, Susan Kramer, and Evonne Olson made up the queen’s court. The three-night performance of the homecoming variety show offered a wide range of student talent from jug bands to ventriloquists. A special feature for homecoming was the appearance of the Sandpipers, a young singing trio, and a comedian, Fred Smoot, who opened the UNI Pops Concert Series. Friday night’s pep rally sparked enthusiasm. In spite of the rain, Saturday’s activities began with a parade. The Panthers proved victorious in the game against Augustana, beating the Vikings 23 10. Teas and open houses welcomed alumni to the activities. The queen and her court made their final royal appear- ance at the homecoming dance, “Reflections,” which was held in both the ballroom and dining room of the Com- mons. Fred Smoot impersonates a man with a hangover trying to shave. Beautiful guitarist backs the Sandpipers. The enthusiastic Sandpipers entertain for a full capacity crowd in the Men's Gym. 29
