GRADUATION Although some felt trepidation concerning UWSP's first ever outdoor graduation ceremony (and with good cause, since the Weather Channel forecast a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms), the ceremony itself went smoothly. The day was warm, bright, and very windy; more than one mortar board (graduation cap) was knocked off by the wind. While waiting for the ceremony to begin, many people sought relief at the coke machine. The picture below shows the line of thirsty customers patiently waiting for their chance at the diminishing reserve of soda. The ceremony moved along at a brisk pace, and just as a few drops of rain reminded everyone of the weather forecast, commencement finished, and a new batch of UWSP graduates were released on an unsuspecting world.

HOMECOMING Homecoming's theme was: “Since You've Been Gone: Time and Change. Dale Armstrong and Kim Moistner, of Watson were king and queen. Hansen won the overall events contest, and Watson and TKE took 2nd and 3rd. The Great Race kicked off the week, which included the Decathalon, Yell-Like-Hell, a dance contest for King and Queen Candidates, the Coors Light Comedy Commandos, the Parade, and a disappointing 31-22 loss to the Eau Claire football team. The Cotillion Ball climaxed a terrific Homecoming week. 4 ■'list's
