Each year an esteemed Homecoming com-mittee is selected. Its job? Make Iowa State’s Homecoming an event to remember.

So far, so good. Homecoming is a favorite event for ISU students each year.

This year. Alicia Snyder and Morgan Foldes have been selected as this year’s Homecoming general co-chairwomen. The duo has been preparing for nearly a year. After being named general co-chairwomen in November, the two began developing their own ideas for what they would like to see at Homecoming 2012.

Snyder and Foldes were both members of the 2011 Homecoming Committee. They en-joyed it so much they decided to vie for the lead-ership role.

“When I first applied to be on the commit-tee my freshman year, the idea of being able to plan such a huge event was appealing to me,” said Foldes, junior in marketing.

“Homecoming was always so cool in high school, so I thought at this level, only better things could happen,” said Snyder, senior in in-terior design.

Both said it was also appealing to be able to do something for the community and to see the community come together, not just as ISU stu-dents but as the city of Ames as a whole.

After attending the first meeting, a transition meeting with former committee members, the first meeting to begin the official planning was held for the 2012 committee in February. “We’ve been planning ever since,” Snyder said.

This year’s Homecoming Committee is made up of 26 members. Within the commit-tee, the group is divided into several subcom-mittees, including tournaments, lawn displays and this year the special Cytennial Celebration committee.

Snyder and Foldes said they came into the position with several ideas of how they would like the Cytennial Celebration to go.

From there, Foldes said they would pass their ideas on to each subcommittee.

“Mostly we just passed on our ideas to the committees, so that they could twist and turn those ideas into their own.” This year, Snyder said they really wanted to improve their public relations skills. “Last year our PR didn’t reach the levels it should have, so we just really wanted to utilize that this year.”

It seems their efforts have been successful. The Homecoming Committee has been selling Homecoming buttons at several events, includ-ing the Iowa State Fair and introductory events held at Iowa State. “Our name’s definitely out there this year,” Snyder said.

Homecoming 2012 marks the 100 anniver-sary of ISU Homecomings. To celebrate, the committee and the alumni are calling this year’s celebration the Cytennial Celebration.

As an important milestone in the history of ISU Homecomings, new events and changes can be expected this year.

“There’s no way to pinpoint what’s new this year,” Foldes said. However, students can expect to be able to get more “bang for their buck” at the annual — and favorite — event, Food on Campus. This year, instead of getting five meals for $5, students and faculty can get seven meals for $5.

In addition to this, the Friday night pep rally, which is usually on Central Campus, is set to be

held at the ISU Alumni Center. Snyder and Foldes said this is because they

really wanted to draw in a larger crowd. “There’s no specific demographic for this

event; we want everyone of all ages to attend,” Foldes said. Working closely with the Alumni Center, Snyder and Foldes said they really want to see members of the community and past alumni attending the event. They also hope that after the event, alumni will be drawn into Greekland to view the lawn displays and into Central Campus for the pancake feed.

Because Homecoming was originally an event for alumni, it has been important to get the alumni involved each year at Iowa State. That’s why the committee has worked so hard to make alumni want to be involved. With Homecoming week getting under way, Foldes and Snyder are especially excited for the week’s events.

“[I’m most excited for] Saturday at the foot-ball game,” Foldes said. “That will be the mo-ment I’ll look back at the week and go, ‘Wow, everything is done.’ I mean: It’s a year worth of

planning. I’m excited to see how it all goes.”Snyder is most looking forward to working

with the other committee members. “[I’m ex-cited for] the execution of all the events and see-ing the committee members be proud of their accomplishments,” Snyder said. “I love seeing their faces when what they plan works out.”

Both Snyder and Foldes said they want ev-eryone across campus and Iowa State to know this week is Homecoming week.

They also really want students to get the Food on Campus. They put the event on for the students, and the food is cheap — as well as deli-cious — so there’s really no reason why a student shouldn’t want to attend.

The duo also recommends attending the Friday night’s Homecoming event at the Alumni Center. It’s a great way to be a part of Iowa State’s Homecoming traditions, old and new, and to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.

If you’d like to be involved in the planning of Homecoming 2013, the committee will be ac-cepting applications at the end of October.

6B | HOMECOMING | Iowa State Daily | Monday, Oct. 22, 2012

Happy 100th anniversary to our very own Iowa State Homecoming. This year marks Iowa State’s 100th Homecoming since its very first Homecoming celebra-tion in 1912.

To mark this special occa-sion, this year’s Homecoming has been dubbed the Cytennial Celebration.

Most students know this year is the Cytennial

Homecoming.What students may not

know is this year the city of Ames and the ISU Alumni Center are working to make this the special celebration it should be.

We can expect to see the city of Ames and the ISU Alumni Center more involved in the festivities than ever before.

Tom Drenthe, director of the Ames Main Street Cultural District, elaborated on the ways that the city is go-ing to be getting involved with the celebration.

“[The city of Ames is] get-ting very involved,” Drenthe said. “It’s the first time they’re doing a pancake breakfast.”

The pancake break-fast will be Sunday at the American Legion, located at 225 Main St. It will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The meal will cost pancake-eaters $5.

There have also been ru-mors that businesses on Main Street are getting involved by decorating the street in the festive Cyclone way.

“Windows will be deco-rated,” Drenthe said.

In addition to the added involvement of Main Street and local businesses, The ISU Alumni Center will be add-ing some extra “exCYtement” to this year’s Homecoming activities.

The ISU Alumni Center is doing a variety of extra things this year to honor the 100th anniversary Cytennial Celebration.

The center will have a Friday night event. The pep rally, usually held on Central Campus on Friday eve-ning of Homecoming week, has moved locations to the Alumni Center.

In addition to this, to cater to the hopefully extra alumni coming to celebrate Iowa States 100th Homecoming, the building will be open for longer hours.

The Alumni Center also has a special Homecoming Facebook page.

For the past 100 days the Facebook page also had Iowa State special trivia and facts, said Julie Larson.

They also “made a big splash in Visions magazine and will be doing a recap in the winter issue,” Larson said.

Homecoming is an excit-ing time on the Iowa State

campus.There are always fun

events to attend and be a part of, such as Yell Like Hell contests, the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen, tournaments, lawn displays, the banner contest, the painting of Victory Lane near Jack Trice Stadium, the pep rally and — last but not least — the big football game.

With so many traditons, it’s no wonder why many of the alumni are so excited to come back.

“People have been regis-tering since August,” Larson said. This is special because usually alumni do not start registering until much lat-er and much closer to the Homecoming celebration.

“[The Alumni Center has also] sold more buttons than ever before,” Larson said.

This year, so many but-tons have been sold there has actually been a need to order more.

The best part about home-coming is anyone and every-one can participate.

It makes no difference what you enjoy doing: There is at least one tradition you can participate in and enjoy.

For most people, the fa-vorite part of Homecoming is, of course, the game.

With so many enjoyable traditions, one would imag-ine there is already enough excitement surrounding Homecoming week.

However, this year the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has decided to add a new tradition to the list.

The new tradition is none other than a butter sculpture of Cy, our ISU mascot.

That’s right: Cy in all his buttery goodness.

“It will be on display in Kildee Hall. They’re making

Each year ISU students, faculty, alumni and people of the Ames community come together to celebrate one spe-cial week in Iowa State’s his-tory: Homecoming.

This year marks the Centennial Celebration, or as those clever Cyclones like to say, the Cytennial Celebration. In honor of the 100th Homecoming at Iowa State, it’s important to re-member all of the traditions — new and old — and events that surround the week that is Homecoming.

There is a multitude of festivities and activities for everyone to get involved in.

Homecoming button lunches

The week starts out with the annual Homecoming but-ton sales. In the past, people have been able to purchase the button for just $5. Then, showing the button at the Central Campus lunch sta-tion each day would give the student or faculty member a free lunch, Monday through Friday.

This year, however, pur-chasing a button for $5 will get the student seven meals instead of just five. In addition to the usual five lunches, showing your but-ton at noon on Sunday at the Homecoming Kickoff on Central Campus and Friday evening at the Pep Rally at the Alumni Center will get the in-dividual a free dinner.

Lawn displays

Also throughout the week, ISU students and fans alike are encouraged to take a stroll over to Greekland, where lawn displays of each fraternity and sorority will

be on display for anyone to enjoy. Lawn displays are usually based on the year’s Homecoming theme as well as embodying Cyclone Spirit and embracing being an Iowa Stater.

Tournaments

Tournaments are also hosted throughout the Homecoming week. If you didn’t sign up to be on a team, be sure you attend the tour-naments anyway to cheer on your friends, classmates and fellow sorority sisters and fra-ternity brothers.

Butter Cy

Skipping on to Friday evening, the real fun begins. Friday has some of the favor-ite traditions and events of past Homecomings.

Start your Friday out by heading to the Kildee Hall atrium anytime 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to see a life-sized butter sculpture of our favorite mas-cot, Iowa State’s very own Cy. The butter Cy will be created and sculpted by Sarah Pratt, the State Fair butter sculptor.

Pep rally

Friday evening be sure to attend the traditional and exciting Homecoming pep rally. Usually held in Central Campus, this year’s pep rally will be held at the Iowa State Alumni Center on Beach Avenue. The pep rally begins at 5 p.m. Friday.

The pep rally includes appearances from ISU foot-ball head coach Paul Rhodes, as well as members of the Cyclone football and basket-ball teams.

Yell Like Hell

Another favorite tradi-tion can be enjoyed during

this time. Yell Like Hell fi-nals will be during the pep rally. If you’re unfamiliar with Yell Like Hell, expect to see a number of students from the greek community painted head-to-toe in our favor-ite Cyclone colors, cardinal and gold. The competition includes a skit-like perfor-mance where the students “yell like hell” and act out a story that encompasses the theme of Homecoming and

Tournaments are big-ger than ever for this year’s Homecoming Cytennial celebration.

“We have expanded them more than we have in the past,” said Joe Klaes, gold division tournaments chair of the homecoming central committee.

Participation for gold di-vision tournaments has in-creased drastically this year.

Until this year, tourna-ments have been done under one committee, but due to the expansion another gold com-mittee has been added, Klaes said.

“Last year there were 16 to-tal teams on gold,” Klaes said. “This year we have 72 teams.”

This year all the gold divi-

sions have been maxed out, and three new tournaments have been added: flag football, dodgeball and laser tag.

The new up-and-coming sport of spike-ball has also been added to this years cardi-nal division.

“A big goal for Homecoming this year was to get all campus involvement, especially since it’s the hundred year celebra-tion,” said Steven Harm, car-dinal division tournaments chair of the Homecoming Central Committee.

Tournaments have been a part of Homecoming since the very beginning.

They were originally intended for all students, but in 2004 they were split into Cardinal for the greek community and Gold for any-one who wants to participate, Harm said.

“Tournaments are impor-tant especially for nongreek students to get to interact with people and get to know more people who they are playing with,” Harm said.

Students who are not par-ticipating in a tournament are encouraged to come and sup-port their greek pairings or teams of their friends.

Most events will have bleachers or space for spectators.

“It raises the spirits of Homecoming,” Klaes said.

The tournaments commit-tee wants to get resident hall teams to compete similarly to how greek houses compete.

Klaes and Harm said with the great turnout for the gold division this year, it will be very likely for next year.

“The gold division tourna-ments are all individual based: Each tournament will have its own winner,” Klaes said.

The giant increase of student involvement in the gold division tourna-ments was a great success for the Homecoming Central Committee and a great kickoff to the 100th Homecoming.

Harm said: “Anyone can feel like they are a part of Homecoming.”

it all day Saturday, and it will be on display for the whole week,” Larson said.

Additionally, students have also started selling spe-cial shirts and sweatshirts for the important Cytennial Celebration.

Some of the shirts will be on sale Saturday during the

big game, while supplies last.Larson said this

Homecoming is especially exciting because so many en-tities have taken part in the festivities this year.

Homecoming is the time when fellow Iowa Staters — current and past — can join together, share traditions and learn what it truly means to be a Cyclone.

As Larson said, it really is amazing that “something as strong as Homecoming has continued for 100 years.”

Every student and community member should enjoy this Homecoming like the 99 before this one have been enjoyed.

But let’s not forget to look back and remember how we got here.

Cyclone spirit.As if that wasn’t enough

“exCYtement” for one event, this year during the pep rally, a cash bar will be provided by Olde Main Brewing Co. be-ginning at 7 p.m. Dinner will be available to purchase or will be free for people wear-ing their official Iowa State Homecoming button.

You might want to get there early, as the first 100 people at the Pep Rally will get a special Homecoming prize.

ExCYtement in the Streets

Following the pep rally, “ExCYtement in the Streets” will begin. All ISU students and fans are encouraged to walk through Greekland to view the Homecoming lawn displays if they haven’t al-ready. This self-guided pa-rade has been a Homecoming tradition for many years.

Pancake feed on Central Campus

After you’ve gotten into the Cyclone Spirit at the Pep Rally and taken part in the pa-rade through Greekland, end your night at Central Campus.

From 10 p.m. – midnight for just $3 you can get all-you-can-eat pancakes.

Hang around Central Campus until midnight to take part in one of Iowa States’ most celebrated traditions.

Fireworks begin at mid-night and couples from across Ames come together under the Campanile to celebrate a favorite tradition all around, mass campaniling.

Story has it that a stu-dent is not a true Iowa Stater until he or she kisses some-one under the Campanile at midnight.

As this is the 100th anni-versary of ISU Homecoming, student organizers hope to get the biggest turn out to date in honor of the Cytennial Celebration.

Start your Saturday off

right by attending the Cyclone Central Homecoming Tailgate held at the ISU Alumni Center.

Beginning three hours before the kickoff for the big game, Cyclone fans can come together to prepare for a Cyclone football victory later that day.

Admission is free but fans who wish to enjoy a meal, ca-tered by Hickory Park, need to register in advance online.

Next is perhaps the most important tradition of Homecoming: the football game. The Cyclones will bat-tle Baylor University at Jack Trice Stadium.

Cheer on your favorite team to victory — and don’t forget to wear your favorite Cardinal and Gold colors.

With a ton of exciting events and traditions to take part in, Homecoming week is sure to be one to remember.

Let’s have a fun and safe week and “Take Ames by Storm.”

Go Cyclones!
