Homecoming offered a variety of
different events that allowed some to
party 'til the victors came home and
thers to party even afterward.
On Thursday, the campus chapter of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People spon-
sored Barn Bash. It gave participants a
chance to learn line dancing, socialize
and eat s'mores and hot dogs.
At Friday's Homecoming parade,
many campus organizations and other
groups displayed their school pride.
Twenty-four groups constructed floats
for the parade.
"This is the first year we did partici-
pate," said lan Crick, an LSA senior
and member of the Caribbean People
Association. "We did it because we
wanted to make people aware of CPA
on campus."
Michigan alum Albert Yonas, LSA
class of 1964, watched the parade on
South State Street.
"(The parade) was very exciting ... I
remember how exciting it was to go to
Wotball games and follow the band,"
Yonas said.
LSA first-year student Kat
Timberland said she was somewhat dis-
appointed with the parade.
"It wasn't quite as big as I thought it
would be, Timberland said.
Free food, games, caricatures and
awards were all part of the pep rally car-
nival celebration held after the parade at
the Power Center.
"I think it went really well," said
rika Taylor, LSA junior and pep rally
chair. "The crowd seemed to really
enjoy the carnival atmosphere."
Games seemed to be popular among
the 400 pep rally participants.
"(Games were) an essential part of
homecoming activities. Homecoming
without Bouncy Boxing would not have
been the same," said Business senior
Seiji Sharaishi.
Three groups won awards for their
'arade entries at the pep rally. Queer
Unity Project took home the Maize and
Blue trophy for best incorporation of
the homecoming theme "Party 'Til the
Victors Come Home." The Men's Glee
Club captured the Spirit of
Homecoming trophy for best overall
entry and the Southfield High School
marching band was given the Grand
Marshall's award for working the hard-
est for the parade.

ferent type of gridiron early Saturday
