Vote for Homecoming

Don’t forget to vote for Homecoming King and Queen by tomorrow at midnight. It’s really simple. Just log onto SSINFO and click on voting/elections. You probably won’t know the candidates personally so you can look at their bios on SSINFO. Go to the King and Queen contest info under Student Life. This page has a bio of all the contestants –their majors, GPAs, hometowns, activities on campus, and scholarships.

There is a lot more going on with homecoming besides the king and queen contest…namely the football game! The game against Northwestern starts at noon on Saturday, October 27. Plus there are a lot of fun activities and free give-aways leading up to the game. There will be a homecoming parade all through campus at 8:00pm on Friday night. It will go past all the dorms. I would recommend going outside when you hear them coming because they will throw free stuff. After that they will walk on over to Slater Hill for the pep rally with the band and candidates. At Slater they will announce the 2007 Homecoming Kind and Queen. At the end of the pep rally there will fireworks!

Then Saturday morning at 9:00am before the game there will be activities on the Mall. This includes performances, free food, tents from different schools, games, and a tour of the new Neil Armstrong Hall. Finally President France Córdova will lead a march to the stadium to “kick off” the game.

Be sure and participate!
