HOMECOMING
Residence halls add to festivities
By Janette Yost Kansan correspondent
Although greek groups have traditionally led homecoming festivities, Daisy Hill has been putting more and more emphasis on branching out the Jawhawk homecoming spirit.

Leading up to this fall's homecoming, the Association of University Residence Halls has presented a spirit-filled week of activities.

"This is the first year we've planned homecoming events geared specifically toward residence halls," said Erin Ohm, Wichita sophomore and vice president of AURH programming. "It's gone over very well."
Tuesday's focus was on charity. In all dining centers, students bought balloons. Profits are being donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The students who chose to support Tuesday's activities were offered the opportunity to have their balloons on the spot or wait to receive them before today's homecoming parade, where they will be marching with their balloons and the AURH banner.
banners and the team logo.
Wednesday saw "the most unique event in pre-Homecoming plans this year," said Shannon Bell, Los Angeles sophomore. In front of Wescoe Hall, a life-sized card was laid out for students to sign. Students left messages for the football team expressing their encouragements for tomorrow's game. The card will be entered in the Guinness Book of World Records to compete for the title of World's Largest Good Luck Card.
the "This could be some really interesting recognition for the University to be in the Book of World Records," said Dustin Sweepston. Inman freshman.
The judging started yesterday for the best decorated lobby windows at all residence halls. Judges voted by creativity, good taste and consistency with the homecoming theme,"2001 Hawk Odyssey."
Last night emphasized academics as some Daisy Hill resident assistants participated in Get Caught Studying Night. Each RA made "academic rounds" through their halls, and the residents found studying were rewarded with a packet of candy and congratulations.
Today, a cage for clocking pitch speeds and a basketball hoop are set up on the front lawn
of Lewis Hall near Mrs. E's dining center. The machines are being rented by the association forfun, and any student living in the residence halls is welcome to participate. The machines will be up and running through the afternoon and early evening.

Greek alumni return for homecoming

Kansan correspondent
Crimson and blue spirit is being shown by many in the KU community — even by those who have already graduated from the University.
Many of the greek alumni are back on campus to show their enthusiasm for the University and each of their respective houses.
"We are setting up a tent on the hill for the game," said John Holtzclaw, Lawrence junior and president of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. "We will have our letters and flags flying."
The fraternity is making accommodations for approximately 125 alumni returning to KU.
Like Tau Kappa Epsilon, other fraternities and sororities are holding similar gatherings to welcome returning members.
Gamma Phi Beta women are expecting alumnae at their open house tomorrow. Chapter president Molly Mueller, Overland Park senior, said they have several involved alumnae who live in Lawrence. Among them is the mother of Erin Brockovitch, the woman upon whom the hit movie was based.
"They like to come look around and love to tour the house with their families," Mueller said.
Triangle fraternity is also holding an open house for the modest number of returning alumni they anticipate.
"We will have a barbecue before the game and then likely have a
meet and greet session after," said Triangle member Jon McGinnis, Collinsville, Ill., junior.
Homecoming will be significant to Alpha Gamma Delta sorority members and alumnae for many different reasons. A ground-breaking ceremony will be at 11 a.m. tomorrow to begin construction of the chapter's new house at 1521 Sigma Nu Place. Several alumnae are expected to return for the ceremony and to spend the day with active members of Alpha Gamma Delta.
"A lot of these women haven't been back in a while," said Lori Allen, Alpha Gamma Delta chapter adviser. "The collegiate women will be entertaining the alumnae and giving house tours."
Allen said the ground-breaking ceremony also would begin
the process of fund raising for the new house.
Besides welcoming back alumni, KU fraternity and sorority members have been taking part in many of the homecoming activities and fund-raising events for various charities this week. Many houses have also been putting in long hours working on floats for the parade.
Alpha Chi Omega member Shelly Manion, Branson West, Mo., senior, said her sorority was working on a float with Theta Chi fraternity.
"It takes quite a bit of time between both our houses, and it's a lot of work, but a lot of fun," Manion said.

Service part of week for scholarship halls
Kansan correspondent
University of Kansas scholarship halls are getting down and dirty during homecoming. From food art to community service, residents will celebrate the week while giving something back to the school and community.
Events include service projects, such as collecting canned food and reading to children at The United Way.
"We like using community service as an outlet for our creativity," said Brian Sanderson, Olathe sophomore and Stephenson Scholarship Hall resident.
Residents also prepared more creative activities such as a dance-a-thon and Casino Night, which is a theme party based on The Godfather.
"I don't know where they come up with some of these ideas for the activities," said Andrea Jennings, Olathe sophomore and resident of Sellards Scholarship Hall. "I think some people probably think we're crazy."
by think we are to climb.
The halls nominated candidates for homecoming queen to compete for a title among the other halls. One Sellards resident, Lacey Pfannenstiel, Hutchinson sophomore, said she didn't like the competition
among the scholarship halls.
"In my opinion, we shouldn't be competing against each other," Pfannenstiel said. "We should be coming together as scholarship halls against the residence halls and frats."
But Sanderson embraces the competitive spirit.
"I confess that, in years past, we have just messed around," Sanderson said. "But this time, we have become more involved."
Sanderson and other Stephenson residents have entered the University float competition. And Sanderson said he was optimistic about the float's chances for first place because it would be
the most original one in the parade. Sanderson said his team took a unique twist on the theme "2001: A Hawk Odyssey."
"Where most of the floats will probably focus on Stanley Kubrick's movie, ours is focusing on the original Odyssey by Homer," Sanderson said.

Pfannenstiel said she wanted to have fun while uniting with other students.
"After all, we are a community. We're all together in this thing," Pfannenstiel said.
