Show HOMECOMING features squaw queen, Sandpipers Replacing what proved in the past to be sparsely attended Homecoming parades, Cavalcade gave organizations more time to prepare for skits, quartets, and decorations. And it was just that: a lively Cavalcade of antique cars brimming with alumni eager to get a firsthand look at the many mindbending designs. They saw Pi Phi pledges tending fires in front of their house while across the street Sigma Nus lit magnesium flares. "Come to the U-IN," theme of Homecoming '67, sparked the creation of psychedelic murals and saw a wonderland harboring Alice and a fluorescent Cheshire Cat spring up overnight in front of the SAE house. With a little help from reluctant Delta Phi pledges, Father Escalante led a peace march into Utah on a garlanded covered wagon. Phi Mu took first place in the sorority competition, followed by Chi Omega and Kappa Alpha Theta. A little emergency action salvaged the Friday night pep rally, as someone lit the fire two hours too soon. By the time the crowd of over 1,000 arrived, more wood was on the fire as well as some ASU cheers to amuse the Utes. The visiting cheerleaders extended their congratulations for the Pi Phi-Sigma Nu street dance following the rally, though the gyrations of the crowd were due more perhaps to shivering than to dancing. Utah came out on the short end of a high-scoring football circus against Arizona State Saturday, but freshman Christy Anderson perched atop the winning end of the queen competition, as she and attendants Connie Prestwich and Barbara Butters were introduced to the half-time audience in bizarre fashion. Led onto the field behind Indian squaw masks and shrouded in sheets, they waited for a knight on a motor cycle to disintegrate their disguises in a burst of smoke. Strains of "Guantana-mera" floated through the Ballroom that night, while couples watched multi-colored bubble lights weaving patterns on the walls. 33 1111 iiilii |
