Homecoming . . .
Continued from Page 12
He said the peak of the celebration is
a snake dance through the heart of the
university led by the pom pom squad,
cheerleaders, the Pride of Oklahoma
Marching band, and a kazoo band.
Spirit raiser
Oklahoma's homecoming romp over
Missouri (45-23) did raise spirits a bit, he
said.
At Kansas State University, according
to Janet Davidson of The Collegian,
a lot of reorganization in homecoming cele
brations has been done.
"I think they're trying to revitalize the
thing. They're going all out for a whole
week with prizes for the best group."
KSU has done away with homecoming
kings and queens and replaced them with
two homecoming ambassadors, she said.
They are elected for a year and represent
the university at alumni activities.
Not too exciting
Chris Dirato, of Oklahoma State Uni
versity's Daily 0 Collegian, said he thought
spirits would rise a little this year, although
homecoming isn't as big at OSU as in other
places.
"It seems the Greek people get more
involved than others, although some resi
dence halls and off -campus people do parti
cipate." The football game usually is the climax
of homecoming, he said, but with OSU's
record of 0-5 it's hard to get very excited.
According to Leon Unrah, of the Uni
versity of Kansas Daily Kansan, things
are much the same in Lawrence.
"For the Greeks it's a pretty big deal
with all those pretty floats and stuff like
that on their lawns.
He said KU will face ISU for their
homecoming game, and things look "pretty
bleak."
Greeks reign
"After being rolled over by Miami, the
patsy on the schedule, I don't think the
ISU game will be a whole lot of fun if
you're wearing Jayhawk blue."
Andy Maykuth, editor in chief of the
Missouri State University's Maneater, said
homecoming is not very important to
most students at MSU.
"My own feeling is that it's a big deal
for the alumni, and not very important for
most students. We haven't had a joke
candidate in several years. It's
predominantly a Greek thing, the Greeks
run it, Greeks participate in it and Greeks
are elected for king and queen."
According to Jim Blume, managing edi
tor of Iowa State University's Iowa State
Daily, "to me and a lot of other students
homecoming is no big deal. I've never paid
any attention to it."
Midnight kisses
He said students usually are more inter
ested in Halloween parties than
homecoming.
Jane McClure, a reporter for the Iowa
State Daily, said last year there was a
"mass campaniling" (when a girl is kissed
below the clock tower at midnight, she's
been campaniled.) She said the dorms and
greeks paint huge banners, sometimes two
and three stories tall.
As a representative of the West the
University of California at Berkeley, was
asked about homecoming.
"I don't think we even have a home
coming," Larry Stoner, of the Daily
Califomian, said. Staff writer Danelle
Morton agreed, but said it might happen
soon.
"Those vague faceless liberals have
switched their allegience and are paying
more attention to the more traditional
activities. There is definitely a resurgence
of this kind of moronic activity."
