Early Sunday morning, while most students were still under the covers, more than 20 people participated in the first Homecoming 5K Run.
The race started at 8 a.m. at the Burge Union parking lot, with the course making a loop through campus before doubling back to the Burge. These men and women ran not just to burn calories or get a cool T-shirt, but for a different cause—the Jubilee Café.
The 5K race is one of many new homecoming events striving to become a KU tradition. The event raised more than $200 for the Cafe.
The Cafe is an ecumenical campus and community outreach program sponsored by Canterbury House, the Episcopal Campus Ministry of the University of Kansas. It has served homeless and needy residents of the Lawrence area since 1994.
Mark Ruder, Homecoming steering Committee Community Events and Service Chair, said the event served its purpose.
"By bringing these new events,
especially ones like the 5K run that benefits the community, we make homecoming bigger and better," he said.
The winners of the inaugural race were Dave Meall, Minneapolis, Kan., senior in the men's division with a time of 19:19, and Jennifer Hull, Lawrence junior, who took the women's title with a time of 23 minutes.
Meall, a Jubilee Café volunteer, said he thought the 5K run would make a great kickoff to homecoming every year.
Students can donate time by going to the fellowship hall of the First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St.
Those interested in volunteering should enter through the double glass doors on the southern side of the church between 6 and 9 a.m. on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Financial donations can be sent by check to the following address:

Alumni reunion to coincide with homecoming activities

As stated in the University of Kansas mission statement, the homecoming celebrations that took place this week should "welcome home" students and alumni to experience the traditions, pride and spirit created in more than 135 years of existence.
The graduating class of 1962 will feel especially welcome while attending a 40th year anniversary reunion dinner at 6:30 tonight at the Adams Alumni Center.
John and Susan Kost, graduating class of 1962, were on a list of local alums from '62 who were invited to be on the planning committee. The entire dinner was planned in two meetings, including planning a cocktail hour, choosing a menu for dinner, guest speakers and decorations, and deciding on what special
memento would be given as a gift.
Others involved in planning the dinner were Jeanette and Tom Armstrong, Tom and Virginia Brown, Kay and Phil Carr and Carol Ott Kimmich.
Emceeing for the night will be Jim Deckert, class president of '62 who now resides in Kansas City. Mo.
Former Dean of Women, Emily Taylor, will also be attending. She was at the forefront of woman's activism in the '60s and established the women's studies program and a daycare center on campus.
Susan Kost said most of her classmates were still working, tied up with care of aging parents or enjoying grandchildren and might not be able to attend.
"We were told that the 40th reunion is not well attended because we are too young," Kost said. "We live within driving distance of the Hill, but for those on
the coasts it is a long way to come when your life is still so busy."
Alumni were welcomed to participate in all activities during homecoming week. A group of tickets for the football game will also be available at the dinner so the class of 1962 can sit together.
Kost said during the dinner, alumni would remember stories of the Sarge, the campus dog, places like the Dine-a-Mite, the campus HideAway, the Stables and the TeePee. Kost said she would also remember when the senior women got keys to their living quarters for the first time in the history of the University. Before then women had early curtows
Most of all, Kost is looking forward to catching up with fellow layhawks.
"We are looking forward to seeing who attends and if we remember each other," she said.

Students help plan events
Committee seeks applicants for 2003

Students interested in planning homecoming activities will find it as easy as filling out a simple application.
"I got involved because I thought it would be a good experience and lots of fun. I also thought it was a good way to give back to the University of Kansas," Matt French, Leawood junior, said.
French was also a committee member his sophomore year. This year, he is the co-director of the 12-person student-organized committee that is the heart of homecoming.
In order to be on the committee, students must go through an application process and be chosen by the advisory board and
the committee's directors. This year's advisory board consisted of Richard Johnson, dean of students; Chanda Dunbar, program advisor for Student Union Activities; and Jennifer Alderdice, Student Alumni Association advisor.
Applicants are not told of the competition, but French remembers being one of more than 30 applicants for this year's homecoming committee.
Topeka freshman Tricia Randall said that she did not know how to get involved with planning homecoming.
"All I knew was the stuff that they told us at our sorority meetings," Randall said. "I found out that we were participating in the activities, but not how to plan anything."
French said he loved his experience on the committee and planned on being involved again next year.

many new people and it has been a good way to get involved," French said. "I am absolutely planning on participating on the committee in some way next year."
Applications for Homecoming 2003 are already available in the Dean of Students office, 133 Strong Hall. The form must be returned to the office by 5 p.m. on January 24, 2003.
