Homecomings rising from near extinction
By Scott Nelson
Just a few years ago homecoming was largely
considered a joke by almost every college and university
in the nation. Interest in the festivities surfaced just long
enough to elect a man for homecoming queen or a
dormitory custodian for homecoming king before sinking
back into depths of student apathy.
This remains the case at many schools across the
nation, but a growing number have revitalized their home
coming celebrations and found overwhelming student
support. A Daily Nebraskan poll of the Big Eight Conf
erence schools found four such homecoming bashes.
At the University of Colorado at Boulder reports of
homecoming interest have been positive.
Flying buffalo chips
"We've had a revival of homecoming, with toga parties,
buffalo chip throwing and beer chugging contests, a pep
rally, spirit bonfire, parade, king and queen, the whole
shot," according to Jeff Morgan, managing editor of the
Colorado Daily.
"It's been like 15 years since we've had something
like this and the main sponsors of this year's homecoming
has been the black fraternity."
John Henner of the University of Oklahoma's Daily
Oklahoman said OU's homecoming was "pretty tradition
al stuff."
"Homecoming is still pretty big and pretty popular
here, there's not the apathy you'd find in a lot of other
places."
