For the first time in a long while residence halls had organized activities similar to the ones traditionally held within the Greek system. Even commuting students had a chance to participate. The goal of the ASUW Traditions and Events committee, in conjunction with representatives from the dorms and the Greek system, was to involve the whole student body. A campus-wide blood drive was held benefitting the Puget Sound Blood Bank. Within the Greek system alone 444 pints of blood were donated. The dorms had a canned food drive and hamburger eating contest sponsored by Flakey Jake’s as well as a sign contest. In keeping with the theme ’’Follow the Purple and Gold the Greek system sponsored its own sign contest as well as the Husky weight pull, purple and gold day and a campus-wide clean up day. Students and any other interested bystanders gathered in the HUB auditorium for the unique Lip Sync and Air Band Competition. Of course. Homecoming wouldn’t have been complete without the crowning of the homecoming royalty. Homecoming King Brian Emanuels, a senior in Electrical Engineering, and Homecoming Queen Lisa Metcalfe, a senior in Political Science, presided over the festivities with first prince and princess Mike Wyszkowski and Lisa Bassett and second prince and princess John Dingfield and Theresa Bomkamp. continued...

—Follow the----- Purple and Gold The group of royalty consisted of students from residence halls as well as the Greek system because of the unique campus wide publicity given to the selection process. In past years the selection process had been organized and dominated in the Greek system. The panel of nine judges, which chose the elite group from about 56 applicants, consisted of one Husky Band member, two alumni, last year's queen, one person from Student Affairs and two members each from Greek system and residence halls. Queen Lisa Metcalfe commented. I was really pleased to be picked to represent UW. I've had the time of my life. The fact that there was more campus unity than in the past was great. One of the benefits of being chosen king and queen, besides a $200 scholarship for each, was that the royal pair had the honor of ringing the bell in Denny Tower that signified the start of the rally. Two thousand people showed up at the Quad Friday night before the game to cheer on the band, cheerleaders. Don James and his team. Despite the disappointing final score, UW did win in the minds of many students as unity was finally brought back to campus. By M.
