16A9tudent Life The iiOver-the-Hill Gang alumni marching band opened the UT-Memphis State Homecoming game Saturday after- noon with its traditional tiAuld Lang Syneii pre-game show. UT tradition weaves itself into the Homecoming cele- bration each year bringing with it all the memories of past years spent on the Hill.
