There is more to homecoming than the football game.
Several groups at the University of Kansas have planned festivities for the upcoming weekend, all of which are open to students.
The weekend will start at 2:20 p.m. today with the annual homecoming parade and pep rally, which is sponsored by Student Union Activities, the Student Alumni Association and the Board of Class Officers.
Before the parade there will be a pep rally in front of Wescoe Hall, said Sue Buckley, program manager of the Kansas and Burge Unions.
Either Chancellor Robert Hemenway or Provost David Shulenberger will speak at the rally. Football coach Terry Allen also will participate in the rally.
The parade will start at the Chi Omega fountain and travel down Jayhawk Boulevard to the Kansas Union.
The alumni homecoming picnic also is scheduled for this weekend. It will be from 4 to 6 p.m. tomorrow.
Cost for the picnic is $10 per person
"It's a place to meet and greet alumni," said Donna Neuner, director of membership services for the KU Alumni Association
University residence halls also arranged festivities for the weekend.

Although many events are planned for the weekend, many students still are anticipating the homecoming game.
"I'm going to the football game on Saturday, that's for sure," said Ruth Yorke, Overland Park freshman.
Nicole Mason, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, said that her plans for the weekend
depended on whether her parents went out of town.
"If they don't, I'm going to the game," Mason said. "If they do, I'm going home."
Kansas is looking for its first conference win of the season and plays the Colorado Buffaloes this weekend. The Jayhawks must win their last four games to be eligible for a bowl game.

Taking shots at Soldier
Kansan movie critic Jeremy Doherty says Kurt Russell's new flick, Soldier, "strikes a new low in the field of post-apocalyptic thrillers." In other words, he didn't care much for it. Go figure.

"Gimme those!"
As the semester rolls on, problems with roommates begin to intensify, University housing officials say. Differences that weren't a big deal at the beginning of the semester begin to make roommates' lives more stressful. See page 6A
