Homecoming events are under way

It's a week of lunches for just $5. It's an excuse to Yell Like Hell without bothering your neighbors. It's tournaments, button-making, campaniling, fireworks and an awards ceremony. And all of it leads up to ISU's Homecoming football game, which pits the Cyclones against Kansas on Saturday, Oct. 30 (1 p.m., Jack Trice Stadium).
