Scavenger hunt highlights Homecoming

by Debra Gibson
The university community is invited to "Catch the Cyclone Craze" during Homecoming 2002, running from Sunday, Sept. 29, through Sunday, Oct. 13.

A new event this year is the "Red Raider Scavenger Hunt," set to take place Oct. 7-11. Students, faculty, staff and Ames residents can join the search for a particular object, with clues available each day in the Iowa State Daily and on the ISU Alumni Association's Web site, http://www. isualum.org. A prize will be awarded to the individual who finds the object.

Runners are invited to participate in Homecoming's annual "Running Home" 5K run/walk, scheduled for 9 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 29, on central campus. Proceeds from the event will help fund two $750 Homecoming Achievement Scholarships. The scholarships are awarded to students who have attended ISU for at least two years, have a minimum 3.0 gradepoint average and at least 60 semester credits, and are either the child of an Iowa State alumnus or a first-generation university student.

Blitz build
The university community also can become involved in the annual Habitat for Humanity Blitz Build Oct. 7 --11 at 2501 Hoover Ave. Those wishing to help with the construction of the single-family home must preregister, as the number of volunteers for the project is limited. Registration information is available at http://www.isusalc.org/homecoming/2002/habitat.html.

Golfers are invited to sign up for the 18-hole "Homecoming Golf Outing" on Sunday, Oct. 13, at Veenker Memorial Golf Course. The event will begin with a light breakfast at 8 a.m., followed by a shotgun-start, four-person best shot 18-hole tournament. Registration fee is $42 per person, which includes the breakfast, 18 holes of golf and 1/2 cart. The deadline for registration is Wednesday, Oct. 9; online registration can be found at https://www.isualum.org/secure/golf.asp.

Other highlights of Homecoming '02 will include a parade through campus and campustown, a concert on central campus, the annual Alumni Association honors and awards ceremony, an alumni tailgate and the Homecoming football game against Texas Tech.
