Tailgate parties, victory over Wolfpack makes Vandal Octoberfest Celebration Picture this: It’s spring 1987 and homecoming chairman Keith Nyberg is dreaming of upcoming homecom- ing fall festivities. He sees masters of ceremonies Clint Eastwood and Bruce Willis waving to the crowds at the parade. Later, he witnesses the Vandals crush the UNK Wolfpack with a 424 victory! The crowds go wild! BUZZZZZZZI Time to wake up, Keith Even though homecoming 1987 was six months away, Nyberg and his committee were planning and orga- nizing events for 15,500 spectators. Mectings were held and ideas were bounced off the walls. During the summer, 1986 homecoming queen Terryl Sharples and Brian Long wrote to Clint Eastwood to be the master of ceremonies. No reply, Instead, J. Kirk Sullivan, chairman of the centennial fund raising campaign, and his wife, Betty, served as grand marshalls of the parade. Other plans that were discussed last spring included having a Beach Olympics, a campus-wide clean up day, and food drives. “Theme-stonn- ing” ideas were: “South of the Bor der,” “Vandal Scandal! in the Panhan- dle,” “Club Vandal,” and the winner, “Vandal Octoberfest.” According to Mary Kay McFadden, “This is the first homecoming in October in two years.” McFadden thought the Octo- berfest theme would conjure up fun and good times, but she wanted to stay away from alcoholic references. Burt McCroskey, associate dean of the College of Letters and Science, promoted faculty invoivement. “Let the faculty know they are part of the university,” he said. As a result, living groups were encouraged to invite professors over for dinner during the week, continued on page LS EACH living group sponsored their choice for homecom- ing queen, then voted on the nominees. Of the five finalists, Houston Hall's Kelli Kast was chosen, (Dahiquist) GRAHAM Hall's tradi- tional “Cowboy Keg- ger” featured Young Fresh fellows, a Seat- tle-based band. (Duf- fy) 10 Homecoming
