HOMECOMING a king as well as a queen. There were postors and painted sheets hanging from dorm windows as well as in the Tower's lobby trying to influence voters. Our Kind of Town, this year's theme, was kicked off on Monday morning with students voting for their choice of King and Queen. This year's winners were Joe Muscatello and Janine DiSanti, who were radiant as Pitt's Homecoming royalty. Originally held on Friday, the day before the game, the Homecoming Parade is now held on Thursday night. Colorfully decorated floats, designed by the various student organizations, were built according to certain standards, and judged on presentation, construction, originality theme, design, and color coordination The streets were alive with music as the Pitt Marching Band and bands from area high schools celebrated the tradition of Homecoming. The tradition of Homecoming began in 1923, but the activities and even the purpose have changed An event that once lasted only a weekend included a parade, a pep rally with a bon fire on Friday night, and a dance held in the Comman's Room of the Cathedral of Learning on Saturday evening following the afternoon game Through the years. Homecoming has expanded to include a beef roast, bar and pizza night, a carnival, keg roll and occasionally a concert instead of a dance. Homecoming was originally for the alumni of Pitt, who would return to see old friends and spend a few exciting days at the alma mater Homecoming has since become an activity for the students, though may alumni still return for the game. One tradition that has lasted is the selecting of a Homecoming Queen Beginning in 1977, students could also vote tor Wesley Posvar congratulates the royal couple dunng half-time activities in Pitt Stadium Joe Muscatella and lanine Di Sianti congratulate one another alter being chosen as Pitt's Homecoming King and Queen | Homecoming A STUDENT LIFE
