Some musically gifted students will have the chance to sing their stuff at tonight's Late Night with Roy Williams.
The Spirit Sing contest, a part of Homecoming 2002, is a competition to create an original song that deals with the homecoming theme.
This is the second year of the Spirit Sing. According to the KU Homecoming 2002 Web
site, each of the five organizations singing tonight will be given three to five minutes for their songs. The Homecoming theme, "Traditions Anew in 2002:A Hawk of Good Time," has to be incorporated into each song.
Emilie Boesen, Clive, Iowa junior and Spirit Sing coordinator, said the songs would be judged on their incorporation of the homecoming theme and alma mater, and how creative the song is.
There have been some changes made from last year. Instead of the organizations turning in a tape to the committee, the applicants were going to audition live. Boesen said.
and the appearance of the group.
Other criteria include sound
In the past, groups had to audition in order to perform. Since only five groups applied, no auditions were held because there was time for eight to perform.

Revitalization goal for homecoming

"Even though a lot of the activities were aimed at pleasing the alumni and the older crowd, we as students were still interested and involved," says Klayder. "Now, as a faculty member I do not buildmy schedule around homecoming."
Matt French, co-director for Homecoming 2002, said the key to a successful Homecoming week was providing students with an avenue through which they could become involved.
"I think that given the opportunity, the majority of students out there would like to participate," French, Leawood sophomore, said. "This year we have made a number of improvements in the way Homecoming week is run so that more students can take part in the activities."
For some students, Hornecorning weekend means watching Real World reruns and vegging—not participating in spirit-filled activities.
Among the changes is a shift in the planning committee for homecoming. This year is the first year

Mary Klayder, professor of English and former KU student, said it wasn't always that way. She said she remembered a time in the late 1960s when fraternities and sororites elaborately decorated their houses, free concerts were offered and a homecoming king and queen were announced. While Klayder was not fond of every tradition associated with homecoming at that time, she said at least there were set traditions.
With all of the additions to the homecoming agenda for 2002, this year could mark a distinct turnaround in KU traditions.
"Homecoming really does not affect my life either way, positively or negatively." Brad Thies, Overland Park sophomore, said. "It's just not a big deal to me or any of my friends."
John Allen, Overland Park senior, said he was ready to have a great homecoming.
"I don't think the student body as a whole needs to wait for the football team to improve before we enjoy Homecoming week," he said. "We have the opportunity to make this an awesome time right now."
This year the parade will take place tomorrow, when spectators will see 18 entries, up eight from last year. Later on that evening the football team will try for their first Big 12 win of the season when they face a Colorado squad fresh off a convincing win against Kansas State.
Homecoming week has been designed by students. A group of 12 students, headed by French and Genevieve Gordon, Wichita senior and fellow co-director, are striving to reverse the general trend of lack of interest on campus.

"This year is definitely going to be different from those in the recent past," French said. "KU has a new football program with the arrival of coach Mangino and as a result a new attitude towards homecoming."
French said this year's slogan "Traditions Anew in 2002: A Hawk of a Good Time," embodied everything the committee was attempting to accomplish.
"Our main goal is to establish long-lasting KU homecoming traditions and inspire school spirit that will carry on from year to year." French said. "We want to make Homecoming week an important and memorable time for everyone connected to KU students, teachers, alumni, and the Lawrence community."
