The university had an ongo ing football tradition of playing the University of Kansas in Kansas City, Mo. In 1911, a conference reg ulation change came about requir ing intercollegiate football games to be played on collegiate campus es. Missouri coach Chester L. Brewer feared attendance would be low and made a plea for Mis souri alumni to “come on home.” Missouri alumni from all over the country made the trek to Columbia to join students in cheering on the Tigers. Coach Brewer’s cry for sup port was positively received, with Missouri fans filling 10,000 seats at Rollins Field to see the Tigers tie Kansas, 3-3. Tood Coleman, the executive di rector of the University of Mis souri’s Alumni Association, said the homecoming phenomenon at Missouri brought a sense of unity to. the school. “Homecoming is in honor of celebrating the past and the future traditions of the university,” Cole man said. “It’s about recalling memories and making new ones.” Keeping the homecoming tradi tion alive today is a substantial pri ority for the University of Missouri. “Homecoming shows a sense of belonging,” Coleman said. Homecoming for the University of Missouri is a ten-day event where the university participates in com munity service and volunteers in providing reading programs for lo cal schools. Missouri also features a traditional parade in which atten dance can reach 20,000 people. The University of Missouri is not the only school to lay claim to starting the homecoming tradition. The University of Illinois makes its own assertions. Vanessa Faurie, the University of Illinois’ vice president for corporate communi cations and editor of the universi ty’s alumni publication, said the University of Illinois is “one of the first to start homecoming.” “Homecoming gave alumni a reason to come back,” said Faurie. The University of Illinois makes the case that homecoming was start ed by two of its students, Elmer Ek blaw and C.F. Williams, on Oct. 15, 1910. These two students envi sioned creating a “super reunion.” The pair “conceived of an idea in 1910 to start homecoming in or der to bring together alumni at the University of Illinois,” Faurie said. The football game between the University of Illinois and Universi ty of Chicago was the perfect back drop for alumni and students to congregate. The University of Illi nois’ inaugural homecoming was especially memorable because it was the first time Illinois had de feated the University of Chicago in nine years, and the victory was sweetened by the creation of the first “cheering section” composed of Illinois fans. The game ended 3 0 in favor of Illinois. Homecoming activities at the University of Illinois were not lim ited to just the football game. The university’s homecoming also in cluded a dinner, a dance and vari ous functions. Despite the disparity, alumni and students from both universi ties agree what a meaningful part of history homecoming is. “Homecoming is an opportunity for alumni to revisit a place that held special memories for them and most likely played a major role in their lives,” Faurie said. The University of Oregon is keep ing its own homecoming tradition alive with its dance and football game and the support of local stores around the campus area. “We’re getting back to home coming tradition with the dance and window-decorating on stores with spirit,” said Mary Hudzikiewicz,. assistant dean of the Office of Student Life and Stu dent Alumni Association adviser. “Homecoming is an opportunity to welcome back alumni to celebrate with current undergraduates.” Which school rightfully claims responsibility for beginning colle giate homecoming involving foot ball games will forever remain a de bate. But school unity, pride and welcoming returning alumni will al ways be homecoming’s main theme. “Our Mistake, YOUR PRICE BREAK!” WE ARE __ $49 TWIN MATTS Vjf $65 TWIN SET r $69 g $109 QUEEN SET I KING SETS AMERICAN MATTRESS WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD KING KOIL FIRM SUPPORT TWIN SET $169°° FULL SET $1 99°° QUEEN SET $259°° 10-Year Warranty KING KOIL SUPER PLUSH TWIN SET $239°° FULL SET $289°° QUEEN SET $359°° KING SET $459°° 10-Year Warranty KING KOIL PILLOW TOP TWIN SET $299°° FULL SET $359°° QUEEN SET $399°° KING SET $599°° 10-Year Warranty Bring in this ad for FREE DELIVERY ‘ / Mon - Sat 9-6 Sun 11-5 mmm AMERICAN MATTRESS MANUFACTURING 4075 W. 11th 343-2690
