HOMECOMING HEROICS Will Kansas live up to tradition?

The Oct. 26, 1970 sports page of The University Daily Kansan records KU's victory against Iowa State University.
TAILGATING,continued from Page 20.
Parking can make tailgating more difficult. Shaddix said that he loved tailgating but that the parking situation at Memorial Stadium was discouraging.
"If I had a parking pass, I'd tailgate every time," Shaddix said. "But you can't park near the stadium without one."
Among the common aspects of tailgate parties are eating, talking and listening to the pregame show on the radio.
Anderson said his crowd tuned in to the pregame show while they munched on sandwiches brought from home. But many people grill their own food.
"We have brats, steaks, hamburgers and potato chips," Shaddix said. "Then we listen to Bob and Max on the radio. It's a great opportunity to get together with friends and talk trash on the other team when their fans walk by."
Winters said his friends listened to the pregame show to find out who was who on the opposing team. "We've got to hear who to watch for on the other team," he said.
Traditions vary for every group, despite the common trends.
Amy Leiszler, Derby sophomore and alumni relations chairwoman for Alpha Delta Pi, said that the sorority's annual tailgate party wouldn't be held at the stadium. Instead, the sorority tailgates at a park near the house so that alumni can be given house tours.
"It's a great opportunity to have the alumni here and give them a chance to reminisce," she said.
A more radical tradition has been adopted by Winters and his friends. They turn their grill into a sacrificial alter after their feast ends.
"We sacrifice a symbol of the other team's mascot if one is available," Winters said.
Regardless of restrictions, fans still love to party in the parking lot. "We tailgate to break up the monotony of schoolwork," Winters said.
"We meet a lot of people through tailgating—there's a sense of tailgater bonding."
