Homecoming Completes Successful Week's Run 'On Broadway' Though Superior State may be nicknamed Tundra Tech with frozen popsicles for students, its spirit rose to the surface for Homecoming 1970. In keeping with the overall theme On Broadway, festivities were launched with skits performed on Monday night. First place show stopper was earned by Alpha Xi Delta. Runner-up was Sigma Sigma Sigma. Third place was awarded to Sigma Phi Epsilon. Since the show must go on, activities progressed with displays exhibited in the concourse. Critics decided that Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity had created a work of art and thus was awarded first place. Alpha Xi Delta and Zeta Beta Tau placed second and third respectively. Rave reviews were also extended to Paula Pollack of Sigma Sigma Sigma and Dick Butsack of Zeta Beta Tau for their outstanding performance in the banana eating contest. A special attraction throughout the week was the Spectrum coffee house, featuring Beans. The Friday night float competition and parade gave each king and queen candidate a place in the limelight before singling out the two who would reign as 1970's royalty. Credit goes to Sigma Tau Gamma for providing a first place float. Sigma Phi Epsilon captured second place and Theta Alpha Chi claimed third. The climax of the night was coronation with Alpha Xi Delta's Carol Hubin and Sigma Tau Gamma's Jace Piotrowski reigning as Queen and King. No show would be complete without a conflict, and WSU hosted one with Eau Claire on Saturday, in which the Yellow-jackets emerged victorious. The final score was 21 to 6. Top billing was also given to the Homecoming dance in the evening Saturday, and to Sigma Tau Gamma for capturing the overall trophy. Finally, the lights dimmed and the curtain lowered as a standing ovation was given to Homecoming 1970 On Broadway. Sigma Tau Gamma pulls in the first place float, helping the fraternity attain the overall trophy for the week's activities. 24
