CAB jumpstarts homecoming plans

Advisers Taylor Osmotherly and Megan Northrup announced preliminary homecoming plans Monday, starting with an invitation for students to join CAB’s homecoming committee.

Though the committee has already made some decisions, including a “Paint the Town” homecoming theme, all students are welcome to join. Northrup and Osmotherly presented a tentative itinerary for the week, including changes to the traditional bedsheet contest and additions like Gorilla Volleyball and Powderpuff Football.

In place of painting bedsheets, clubs are encouraged to paint windows of businesses downtown. The homecoming week schedule will start with an outside movie night, Monday. Tuesday and Thursday will include Gorilla Volleyball and Powderpuff Football, respectively. The two are role-reversing games that put men onto the volleyball court and women on the football field. 

The Pregame Barbeque Bash is scheduled for Friday, leaving the homecoming parade and game Saturday. Northrup said coronation, which is usually held in a formal setting, will take place Wednesday along with the pep rally and bonfire.

“Coronation wasn’t really getting a lot of people to it so we are hoping this will rev it up and get some school spirit in there, potentially doing it on the field and not having it as formal,” Northrup said.

Northrup also announced plans for fall’s Week of Welcome, including dances sponsored by The Pit and NOCS and events from Chi Alpha, International Club and Newman House.

Treasurer Jacob Muir, sophomore of Driggs, Idaho, announced clubs spent $75,394.57 this year.
