Campus celebrates in numerous ways
KU STUDENTS WILL CHEER AS THEIR BELOVED football team plays this homecoming weekend. Other students, regardless of which team wins the game, will socialize in their favorite bars, restaurants or party with the other regulars.
The ways that students celebrate are as diverse as the students themselves. Some students say they believe the game is the most important element of the weekend, although others say there is nothing about the weekend that makes it different from any other school weekend.
Andrew Spanogle, St. Louis senior, is one of those students who thinks the game is the most important element.
"The game is exciting, and my parents always have a great time homecoming weekend," he said.
Spanogle and his parents have a cookout before the game every year. Other students also welcome their parents in for the weekend and show them an eventful weekend, usually consisting of food, drinks, football and fun.
Rebecca Warren, Dal-
Sarah Taylor, St. Louis senior, also is going home for the weekend.

"It will be insane," he said. "It will be a very, very, very busy weekend."
