THE KANSAN
HOMECOMING 2014
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Theme embraces old traditions, new ideas
It's that time of year again. Along with the return of sweater weather, pumpkin spice lattes and football games, the end of September ushers in the return of traditions and alumni with Homecoming week.
This year's theme, "Roll with the Hawks," envelops all the fun and games that comes with Homecoming. In addition to the traditional Homecoming football game, organizations compete throughout the week in the spirit of collaboration and pride at our University. Alumni return for reunions across campus, mixing traditions of old with traditions of
new to create an atmosphere that is uniquely KU Homecoming.
These traditions are highlighted in this issue, which includes memories of Homecomings throughout the years from the perspectives of the people who experienced them. While the University has changed over time, the spirit of its
students has not. One only needs to look around during this week to see how involved and enthusiastic the student body remains. Combine that with the alumni returning this week, and the amount of spirit on campus will be enough to make any Jayhawk proud.
So roll the dice and travel around the board game that is the University's campus this week. With events occurring every day, odds are you'll find yourself connecting to more Jayhawks than ever before, old and young alike. After all, there's nothing quite like the University of Kansas during Homecoming Week.
