L The meaning of blueprints can be extended beyond traditional bounds to include a jazzed-up weekend of Homecoming fun in the fall. The Homecoming Committee began shortly after Homecoming ’85 to plan the '86 festivities, themed “All That Jazz : the annual parade, dance, and concert. Jazz artist Al Jarrcau performed at Ri- verfront Coliseum for UC fans at the Homecoming concert. His musical and vo- cal abilities made the affair into a UC jazz-fest. Student groups of all sorts made their own plans for parade floats and King and Queen candidates. Team efforts put to- gether the traditional Clifton Avenue trek, and when all the votes were in. Linda Jucr- gens and Tim Smith were named Home- coming Queen and King. To top off all the fun. the Bearcats suc- cessfully trampled Indiana State in an im- pressive 46-14 victory over their Home- coming rivals. It seemed the UC football team had been practicing its own blueprint for victory. HOT SOUS'D Singer Al Jarrcau jazzed up the 1986 Homecoming concert.

Sports at UC has often meant com- pleting plans, or seasons, with re- sounding success. Early in the sea- son. the Bearcat football team defeated traditional regional rival Miami Universi- ty of Oxford at Riverfront Coliseum. Al- though it wasn't the home that Nippert Stadium was sentimentally. Riverfront be- came the site where UC achieved this key victory. Along with Homecoming, the Miami of Ohio win helped create a positive atmo- sphere for the future of UC football. Unfortunately, the homc-swcct-homc of Nippert Stadium didn't mean automatic victory for the Bearcats, who fought a tough but losing battle against the No. I team in the country. The game against Miami Hurricanes literally blew the Bear- cats away in front of a sold-out Nippert crowd full of spirit. Other UC sports faced hard schedules for success in their seasons' blueprints. The new Proposition 48 ruling put many UC recruits on the ineligible list, leaving the women's basketball team without a net and placing the future of the men's basket- ball team largely in the strong hands of Roger McClendon.
