Homecoming Ball
revives tradition
■Students hold the second
annual Homecoming Ball,
hoping to renew the age-old
tradition at the University
By Devon Karr
For the Emerald
Smooth dance tunes capture the
mood and float to the dance floor,
where the silver reflections of the dis
co ball and colored lights glow over a
dancing crowd. A competitive casi
no-like atmosphere calls from the ad
jacent room as a scrumptious dessert
buffet awaits hungry dancers.
The Second Annual Homecom
ing Ball will be held Friday, Oct. 20,
at 8:30 p.m. in the EMU Ballroom.
This year’s theme, “Twilight on the
Delta”, is a Mardi Gras dance, and is
put on by students for fellow stu
dents, faculty and alumni. The
Homecoming Ball is a tradition that
has just recently been revived at the
University. Prior to last year’s
Homecoming Ball it had been 30
years since the University held a
formal event such as this. Senior
Bryan Orthel, co-chair of the Home
coming Ball Committee, hopes that
Duck pride can help keep the tradi
tion of the Homecoming Ball alive.
“Homecoming isn’t seen as a big
thing but Duck pride is a big part of the
University of Oregon,” said Orthel.
Last year, all of the 600 available
tickets for the Homecoming Ball,
“Masquerade of Monte Carlo,” were
sold. The committee hopes to once
again reach its goal of 600 people in
attendance. Orthel said the real suc
cess of last year was that it was a fun
evening combined with a jolly at
mosphere.
“It was a combination of being
dressed up and having a good time,”
Orthel said. “The dance floor was
packed the entire night; I was im
pressed.”
Senior Lauren Sivley attended
the “Masquerade of Monte Carlo”
last year and also said that the at
mosphere was inviting.
“Even though it was a formal
dance it was a relaxed atmosphere
and everyone was there to have a
good time,” Sivley said. “People
were excited to be there.”
The committee is trying hard to
recreate the same exciting atmos
phere in “Twilight on the Delta.”
The same elements, including a
casino, dancing and a dessert buffet,
will be part of this year’s ball. A
prize auction will follow the ball.
The prizes — including Portland
Trailblazer tickets, two $500 Mar
mot gift certificates and tickets to
University basketball games—can be
bought with mock casino winnings.
But perhaps the biggest prize of
all is the restoration of a fun home
coming tradition. Before last year’s
event, the last Homecoming Ball
was held in 1974 at the old Oregon
Armory. There was also a home
coming street dance in 1987, which
was held on the east lawn of the
EMU. The absence of a Homecom
ing Ball may have been due to
changes in our culture.
“I don’t know why things fell off;
maybe political and social climates
changed and it wasn’t the most im
portant thing in the 70s, and it fell
by the wayside,” Orthel said. “Stu
dents are now interested in reclaim
ing traditions that are falling off. ”
The tradition was re-established
last year by Greg Byrd and Norine

Homecoming with
no home of its own
■The origin of the traditional
football game and festivities
may remain a mystery forever
By Eugene Chen
for the Emerald
The University has enjoyed
nearly 90 years of homecoming
tradition where University alumni
and undergraduates congregate at
the annual football game to cele
brate the past, present and future
of the University. But where did
the idea of combining collegiate
homecoming and football origi
nate? The question that remains a
debate among universities and his
torians concerns who can claim
the title of the “Home of Home
coming.”
