The 1966 KU Homecoming festival will begin with a rally and a bonfire behind Strong Hall Nov.2.
The rally will be a torchlight parade of living groups, coming in from all sides of the campus and meeting behind Strong Hall.
Fuel for the bonfire will be waste paper from living groups. The living groups will be "encouraged to save their trash for the bonfire," said Dave McClain, St. Joseph, Mo., junior and Homecoming committee member.
