 Yesterday Once More but looking new College campuses throughout the country acquire new looks with passing years — UWSP is no exception. But come October. Homecoming — Queen of the Autumn — returns to the Point campus as she docs to campuses everywhere... reminding us that some things are just too good to go away. UAB’s Homecoming Committee, under the direction of Sharon Sitka, brought Point another spectacular Homecoming Week, overflowing with activity and color. Yesterday Once More” was the theme for Homecoming 79 — which presented a virtual smorgasbord of events: the second annual Jazz Fest featuring Mosaic and Montage, cartoonist Steve Gipson, the bonfire, bed race and second annual Flatlander Classic bike race... Homecoming parade once more dazzled Point spectators under blue October skies, featuring more than 40 entries and serving as an appetizer for the main course of the day: The Game. There is nothing like a comeback” to grab the fans’ attention. The Pointers, in what could only be described as a phenomenal effort, pulled out all the plugs following their disappointing position at the bottom of a 30-7 halftime score. With quarterback Brion Demski putting in a record-tying performance of five touchdown aerials, UW-Stout’s Blue Devils found themselves the flabbergasted victims of a thrilling 34-33 Homecoming victory by a Pointer team that just wouldn’t quit. At halftime Thomson Hall candidates Cheryl Lcitzke and Dave Casady were introduced as Homecoming Queen and King. Overhead, an enormous hot air balloon sailed over the grandstand — as high as the spirits of Pointer fans. Night brought the hot rock of Gene Cotton and comedy of Tom Parks ... concert desserts, sweetened with victories of the day. Homecoming Tradition: Certainly getting older — but how much BETTER can it get? 16
