I LOCAL/STATE The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 3, 1997 - 7A AOMECOMING Ltntinued from Page 1A Chcrry said. "We usually go to our sorority house because it's homecoming weekend there, too." Cherry and Mather-Ryding said they were both members of the first female checrleading squad and enjoyed seeing friends from their squad this weekend. Wather-Ryding said a variety of mini-reunions during football season help make the official homecoming weekend a lot less crowded. ". know logistically it would be a nightmare to have only one weekend (for reunions)," Mather-Ryding said. "There are hundreds of thousands of alumni. When you have a smaller get- together, it's much easier to deal with." Despite the large crowds and small ecoming gatherings every football Saturday, 1992 alumna Jennifer Ruddy said homecoming "is something special." -Ruddy, who lives in Texas, said she decided to attend homecoming while looking through an alumni magazine. Ruddy said the homecoming football game is special because it is attended by more than just "the people that live here and go every weekend." "This was special because people who live here anymore are here," Ruddy sad. "We enjoy visiting Ann Arbor and seeing the 'M' is back in the Diag." Melinda Kerr, who graduated in 1979, is one of many alumni who said they try to attend the homecoming foot- ball game every year. "I think we have a lot of loyal follow- ers ... that can only enhance the crowd," Kerr said. Many alumni said the large crowds add to the homecoming experience. "The more people, the more of a party atmosphere there is," said Ronald Kozlowski, whose son is a sophomore. But some alumni believe homecoming is no longer a big event for students. "I think the student body is less enthu- siastic," said 1953 alumna Dorothy Reister, adding that she recalled activities such as parades, floats and Michi-gras. "The festivities went on for almost a week in the student body." Jack Carlson has been attending homecomings for 42 years, even though he's not an alumnus. "I used to come to all the games back in 1955," said Carlson, whose father and sister are University alumni and whose daughter is currently a sophomore. Carlson, who attended his first homecoming when he was 7 years old, said "the tradition is the same." "(The University community) doesn't decorate as much as they used to," Carlson said. "We used to be able to walk or drive around and see the displays in front of fraternity houses or dorms. Now, people are taken in by all the things that have to be done, like tailgating." The 64th annual Mudbowl game marked the homecoming weekend at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. "Sixty-four years ago, there was a huge rain storm and the front yard was flooded." said Engineering sophomore Dave Stefani, explaining how the tradi- tion began. "Some members of the house challenged members of Phi Delta 1 lit ito play because it was all muddy." T o mudhowl games are played on homecoming Saturday at the fraternity, the first between Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Delta Theta and second between two "randomly selected" sororities, said Michael Blanchard, who coached Delta Delta Delta, one of the sororities chosen this year. Chi Omega was the other soror- ity picked for the game. "It's a big production," said Blanchard, an LSA sophomore. "We dug up the front yard with shovels and the fire department came on Thursday and on the morning of the game and hosed (the yard) down with their trucks." Blanchard said that while alumni don't play in the game, about 20 came to watch from the sidelines. Blanchard said there are no penalties during the games, which means that it "is the same every year - it's very rough." The sororities played during the Mudbowl's halftime with the game ended in a controversial tie. "It's a very competitive rivalry." said Tri-Delt member Andrea Korotkin. Alum visit Art2 school's By Ken Mazur Daily Staff Reporter Art and Architecture alumni shed their maize and blue in favor of cos- t tumes ranging from aliens to masquer- ade masks and tuxedos for the school's weekend reunion and masquerade ball. The reunion weekend revives a tradi- tion that Art and Architecture Dean Allen Samuels said he hopes to renew as a yearly event. "This weekend is starting up a tradi- tion from 12 to 15 years ago," Samuels said. "In the future, we'd like to get the students more involved. The real spirit is to get the alumni involved with the school and the students." The reunion included Saturday night's ball, a welcoming reception for the alumni and workshops hosted by current School of Art and Architecture professors. These workshops gave the former students a taste of the new direc- tions art is taking, including the fusion of new technology and more traditional forms of expression. On Saturday, the school's alumni took a bus tour of the faculty studios on North Campus.

Utah's campus is located in Salt Lake City, the scheduled host of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. The Olympic village will be stationed in residence halls and the university will be one of the game's major sponsors. "Bernie will be actively involved in the hosting of the 2002 Olympics," Anderton said. School of Dentistry Dean William Kotowicz said Machen's problem-solving skills enabled him to be a great leader at the University and should ensure him success at Utah. I.

Band director David Swain, who has been performing for more than 25 years, said he remembered playing at the school back in another era. "The last time I played a gig here at the Art school for Halloween, it was in the early '70s and I was in a band called Destroy All Monsters," Swain said. "That was a little more rowdy and we definitely weren't wearing tuxes." "He did a wonderful job at the Dentistry School during the period he was there. He rebuilt a research foundation,' Kotowicz said. "We instituted a new curriculum and we also improved our basic core agenda." University Provost Nancy Cantor said Machen most likely will have some adjusting to do when he gets to Utah, but she said he will-learn quickly. "It is always challenging to get to know the culture of a new university" Cantor said. "There are many facets of the University of Michigan that will transfer to there. He certain- ly will be well positioned to take this on." - Daily Staff Reporter Janet Adamy contributed to this report. f f Ylffs."
