Homecoming week got off
to a great start with the Vandal
Jingles on Tuesday. This year's
theme was appropriately "Bring on
the Millennium". Fourth place
went to Carter Hall and Alpha
Gamma Rho. There was tie for
third between Kappa Kappa
Gamma/Phi Gamma Delta and Pi
Beta Phiffau Kappa Epsilon.
Second place was taken by
Farmhouse for their camouflaged
performance of "Lifestyles in the
Y2K". Forney Hall and Graham
Hall stole first with an "Alien
Dream" skit about Alien Invasion.
Many students participated
in Philanthropies through out the
week including Make a Difference
Week, Idaho Recycling Week, food
drives and blood drives. The blood
drive was able to collect over 1 00
units of Vandal blood.
Friday brought the annual
Bonfire at Guy Wicks Field.
Students crowed a stage to hear
the head coach Chris Tormey as
well as key players talk about the
upcoming game. The winning
jingles were performed as local
fireman set pallets ablaze. The
Vandal Marching Band had the
crowd groovin' and shakin' to "GO
IDAHO!".
Next came the parade on
Saturday morning with a record 80
floats. The spectacles ranged
from the Alpha Kappa Lambda's
"Star Wars" float to random aliens
handing out candy to giggling
children. President Hoover waved
to the crowd from atop a local fire
engine surrounded by the U of I
Scholars.
The grand finally was the
game against Utah State. The
Vandals not only triumphed with a
31-3 win, but also secured their
place in the Sunbelt Conference
for next year with the biggest
crowd for a home game ever, 23,
429 people in attendance at Martin
Stadium.
