Homecoming enthusiasm is shifting up
after downhill apathetic slide of 1970's
Interest in the homecomine tradition, something that
went out of style in the early 70s, is on the uphill jour
ney to it's level of the early 60s, according to Richard
Fleming, director of university information and in charge
of publicity for Homecoming since 1963.
The student attitude toward Homecoming, which has
fluctuated from enthusiastic to apathetic back to enthu
siastic, in the last decade, is reflected in the range of
activities the old Homecoming weekends included.
The route of the Homecoming display contest is an
example of such fluctuation.
The contest kept the 16th and R streets area blocked
off in the early 60s because of the large number of people
viewing the displays, was abandoned in 1965 by many
uninterested living units,
"Students were concerned over the proper expendi
ture of time and money then," said Carole Reno, director
of alumni relations and a 1967 graduate of UNL. Signs
aimed at getting contributions for charity replaced dis
plays at several houses in the following years.
In a 1971 issue of. the Daily Nebraskan, Bruce Skinner,
1971 Homecoming chairman for the Delta Upsilon
fraternity, said, "We are trying to set a tradition of this
type of Homecoming instead of the traditional fun and
games. , .. ' ,
Reno said the Homecoming tradition lost force because
students could not justify the time and money spent oh
displays. Their priorities changed, she said.
In 1973, Homecoming displays described in a Daily
Nebraskan article as "once victims of the social conscious
ness of the 1960's" were revived, but with a much lower
dollar limit.
The end of the traditional Homecoming 'danceih 1974
also was a result of students' lack of interest.
REK-SUHN-ROC, five continuous hours of home
coming activities replaced the dance in 1975 and again
last year.
The addition of a Homecoming king to the royalty
contest" was also made in 1975,
The internal set of activities considered traditional to
Homecoming has changed radically in a decade, but its
purpose is still to build pride in UNL, Reno said.
She said homecoming is a time when the campus sees
itself as a community who can all pull together.
She said she thinks during the late 60s, students
thought other concerns were more important than being
part of homecoming's "living chain of tradition."

Homecoming traditions have changed over the
years. In fact, in 1975 even a cartoon character
could win the election, a direct contrast to Home
coming's hay day 10 years ago.
Attorneys representing the Nebraska Civil Liberties
Union (NCLU) will not file suit over illegal Sports
Complex searches if they reach a policy agreement with
UNL Lawyers before the Oct. 28 Crosby, Stills and Nash
concert.
Attorneys met Thursday for the second consecutive
day to discuss solutions to complaints of illegal searches
conducted at the Sept. 15 Fleetwood Mac concerts.
NCLU had planned to file suit in federal court Wednes
day, but decided to negotiate with UNL attorneys at the
last minute.
According to a statement issued by attorneys for
NCLU, university attorneys have agreed to cfraft a propo
sal for future concert guidelines. NCLU .attorneys will
then analyze the policies "to determine whether those
proposed policies would be constitutional in light of
recent case decisions on the subject."
"If adequate assurances are made that the policies
drafted by the attorneys will be put into effect by the of
ficers at die Sports Complex, no lawsuit will be filed prior
to the concert at the Sports Complex on Oct. 28, 1977."
Attorneys working with NCLU declined to discuss the
content of the meetings. "What we discussed is basically
meaningless until they give us a proposal," said attorney
Robert B. Creager, "We have our concept as to what to
accept, they have theirs."
WML and NCLU attorneys will meet again today to
continue discussions.
