I mages of Goldy Go-pher, football game days and maroon and gold Gopheralls all

embody school spirit at the University of Minnesota.

Perhaps the most wide-spread display of Gophers pride takes place during the annual weeklong homecom-ing celebration.

And this year’s home-coming marks a milestone, as the festivity turns a cen-tury old.

Founded in 1914, home-coming at the University has provided the opportunity for students and alumni alike to show school spirit.

This year’s 100th birth-day celebration, under the theme, “Forever Gold,” en-courages the campus com-munity to reflect on the rich history of the past 10 de-cades of homecoming at the school.

Homecoming at the Uni-versity began by a group of students holding the event without the administration’s support, according to a 2001 Minnesota Daily article.

A few years later, the University put the festivities on hold during World War I from 1917 to 1920, accord-ing to the article.

Later wars also put some restraints on homecomings.

In 1943, during World War II, the school canceled certain homecoming events, like the pep fest and parade, because of certain material shortages.

And in the 1970s, the Vietnam War af fected the University’s homecoming festivities.

In 1971, no one celebrat-ed homecoming besides four greek houses, accord-ing to the Student Unions and Activities website.

The University also ceased to have a homecom-ing queen for the first five

years of the 1970s due to the feminist movement, the website says.

HOMECOMING LANDMARKS

During the homecom-ing of 1942, the University celebrated its pride in a big way by hosting the world’s

largest parade that ran two miles long and included 170 cars and floats, according to SUA.

Today, homecoming fans still consider the pa-rade a major event.

While parades and bon-fires were once the big homecoming events, now

big-name performers cre-ate the biggest buzz around the annual celebration.

The concerts began only a few years ago, but the University hasn’t failed to bring in well-known artists like Passion Pit and B.o.B.

This year’s performer’s — rapper Iggy Azalea and

indie rock band Walk the Moon — cost the Univer-sity $135,000 to book.

While homecoming has evolved over the years, the University has kept some old traditions around.

This year’s homecom-ing week includes a range of festivities and events,

ranging from the parade to cheer and l ip -sync competitions.

And for the biggest event of the celebration, Go-phers fans from across the state will come together on Oct. 18 as the football team plays Purdue University at TCF Bank Stadium.

100 YEARS OF HOMECOMINGThis year’s annual celebration will mark a century of homecoming festivities.

GOPHERS SHOULD FINALLY WIN HOMECOMING GAMEMinnesota has lost its first three homecoming contests under

Jerry Kill, but Purdue is the easiest test yet.

I n Jerry Kill’s first year as Minnesota’s head coach, throngs of stu-dents spent the Friday

night of homecoming week-end watching Atmosphere play at TCF Bank Stadium.

But just hours later, as the Gophers took on No. 13 Nebraska, all of the en-ergy was sucked out of the venue. Students filed toward the exits at halftime after the Cornhuskers took a 34-0 lead.

It was a rough homecom-ing game for the Gophers, who eventually lost 41-14 after Nebraska took out its star players.

The next season, Friday

night’s B.o.B and Timeflies concert was arguably more electric — and so was Min-nesota’s play on the field.

The Gophers faced a strong of fensive unit in Northwestern, headed by dual-threat quar terback Kain Colter and speedy run-ning back Venric Mark.

While Colter passed for only 63 yards, he completed ever y pass he attempted and also rushed for 26 yards and one touchdown.

Mark was more effective, averaging more than nine yards per carry and racking up 182 rushing yards.

The Gophers flip-flopped at quarterback, giving both MarQueis Gray and Max Shortell ample time under center.

Neither was particularly effective, but Gray notched 86 rushing yards and one touchdown as Minnesota lost 21-13.

Last season, the Gophers opened their season with a 4-0 record and higher ex-pectations. Despite staying up late the night before, rocking out to Passion Pit and Hoodie Allen, the stu-dent section was practically full an hour before kickoff.

With rival Iowa coming to town, the game appeared to be a great test for Minne-sota after a cupcake noncon-ference schedule.

And the Gophers re-ceived an “F” on their mid-season midterm, getting outworked by the Hawk-eyes in just about ever y

phase of the game en route to a 23-7 loss.

After three years of me-diocre headline bands and questionable homecoming football, this year should be different. The Gophers host Purdue, which won only a single game last season.

And to top it all off, argu-ably the most popular per-former in recent memory will be performing at Friday night’s concert: Iggy Azalea.

The Gophers should run off the field with a home-coming victory for the first time under Kill on Saturday.

And if that’s the case, he might dance in the locker room after the game like he did last season, but this time it could be to Azalea’s “Fancy.”

2014 HOMECOMING

ROYALTYThe 10 members of the

homecoming court are heavily involved in campus activities.

ROYALTY

BY HALEY HANSEN hhansen@mndaily.com

T his year’s group of homecoming royalty candidates is packed with

student leaders, greek com-munity members and avid Gophers sports fans.

Though the 10 individuals come from different back-grounds and have a wide variety of interests, the one thing they all have in com-mon is intense school spirit.

The 2014 homecoming court is also active across all areas of campus. Here are quick bios of the busy court members:

Genetics, cell biology and development senior Yazan Alkhatib — whom fellow students can find walking backwards on campus and leading tours as an Admis-sions Ambassador — said he decided to run for homecom-ing king in part because his friends encouraged him to and also to make his senior year memorable.

“I thought I’d try to do as much as I can before I gradu-ate and get as much as I can from the University of Min-nesota,” he said.

Sport management junior Barflaan Tedoe served as a community adviser his soph-omore year and is a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fra-ternity, Minnesota Student Association and Gopher TV, according to the Stu-dent Unions and Activities website.

Mathematics senior Ash-ley Hoffmann is president of Alpha Sigma Kappa — Wom-en in Technical Studies, in-volved in Lutheran Campus Ministry at Grace Univer-sity Lutheran Church, and

participates in the Waterski and Wakeboard Club, the SUA website says.

Economics, political sci-ence and Arabic senior Cody Clark serves as vice presi-dent of Sigma Chi fraternity and is chief of staff on the In-terfraternity Council, accord-ing to SUA’s website.

Merchandising and de-sign senior Marni Surdy is a member of Delta Gamma and also works at the well-known Annie’s Parlour in Dinkytown, the website says.

Agricultural education ju-nior Vinz Karl, a member of the FarmHouse Fraternity, is also involved in agriculture-centered student groups like the Agricultural Education Club, the Horticulture Club and the International Agri-culture Club, the website says.

While most candidates are heavily involved in Uni-versity activities, finance senior Jimmy Quinn spent an entire semester studying abroad in London, according to SUA’s website.

Genetics, cell biology, and development senior Ayo Gazal, who works as an event coordinator at the Univer-sity’s sports stadium and are-nas, said one of her favorite parts about homecoming is seeing past students return to campus.

“Homecoming is also for the alumni,” she said, “not just for the students who are here.”

Gazal said she’s enjoyed the time she’s spent with her fellow candidates so far.

“Everyone on court is re-ally awesome,” she said.

T h e S t u d e n t Unions and Activi-ties staff will host a step dancing

competition and a lip sync competition simultaneously this year.

SUA coordinators de-cided to combine the two contests this year in order to diversify the experience and to showcase the broad range of talent at the Uni-versity of Minnesota. The plan is to alternate between a step group and a lip sync group.

“I think it really diversi-fies the performance that’s going to be happening and hopefully will reach a broader audience as well,” said Casey Kuenn, a senior and engagement coordina-tor for SUA.

The term “Lip Sync Competition” may render images of a brave soul pre-tending to belt their heart out, but this competition is more complex. Teams of about 12 members will perform an original dance number while mouthing the words to the tune of their choice.

The lip sync competi-tion will be judged based on complexity of choreogra-phy, accuracy of lip syncing and sportsmanship, among other criteria, Kuenn said.

At least four step danc-ing teams and 14 lip sync teams are expected to participate.

“With this year being the first year of step, we don’t have as many teams … [this time] is getting teams on board with the concept,” Kuenn said. “We do expect more lip sync teams than step teams.”

This year, SUA par t-nered with the Multicul-tural Greek Council to

coordinate the step dance competition. Kuenn said he thinks it’s because of this partnership that more teams signed up than when SUA attempted to put on the event last year.

Teams have the option to enter as either a step or stroll per formance. Step-ping usually involves foot stomping, hand clapping and spoken word as partici-pants put on a percussive dance. Strolling is classified as more of a line dance that members do in time with

each other. “It’s ver y unified with

the other people you’re doing it with,” said Nan-cy Mahdy, president of the Multicultural Greek Council.

The teams will be judged and scored out of 250 pos-sible points by three Greek alum judges. The scorecard includes criteria such as spirit, creativity, synchron-icity and crowd reaction.

“The scorecard is de-rived from what a lot of dif-ferent step competitions do.

We kind of looked at several dif ferent ones in order to compile a pretty accurate scorecard for what is typi-cally scored,” Kuenn said.

Though lip syncing and step dancing are two differ-ent types of performances, the coordinators noted that the combination isn’t as za-ny when one considers the spirited atmosphere that the two have in common.

“The step competition is also being scored on crowd reaction and spirit, and I think that is a big thing

that contributes to the at-mosphere of the lip sync competition,” said Ashley Herink, student marketing coordinator for SUA.

The SUA and Multicul-tural Greek Council coordi-nators are looking forward to seeing the event come to life.

“The competitions just in general are really fun to watch. It’s really entertain-ing just to watch not only the teams come together, but also the students and the crowd,” Herink said.

“Everyone gets so into it, and I’m excited to see a new aspect of the [lip sync] competition.”

STEP IN TIMEWhether it’s step-dancing or lip-syncing, students pick their own beat to follow.

FROM CYMBALS TO SPIT VALVES

Members of the University of Minnesota Marching Band talk

homecoming traditions.

MARCHING

BY HALEY MADDEROMhmadderom@mndaily.com

T o members of the University of Min-nesota Marching Band, he’s “Young

Deezy.” But to everyone else, he’s Robby Deziel, first-year mechanical engineering major and cymbalist in the drumline.

Deziel said he’s already looking for ward to next year’s tr youts when he hopes to snatch a position playing the snare.

“I was raised a Gopher basically, so just being in the band seems like a really big accomplishment,” he said. “You just wake up in the morning, it’s game day, and you’re like, ‘Let’s go.’”

But Deziel admitted being in the band is no cakewalk. He has what he calls a “mon-ster” calendar that keeps him sane balancing his four consecutive rehearsals each week with free blocks of time to memorize new songs and steps for every show.

For homecoming week, most members will complete their homework a week in advance, he said.

Rookies, said Deziel, are currently grinding over a routine to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” — but beyond that, he said they can only an-ticipate what Homecoming will bring.

Tomas Icenogle — oth-erwise known as “Iceman” — leads the trumpet section and said he’s seen the band’s annual routine four years running.

“As a coverall, a first-year marching band member dur-ing homecoming week will

learn a lot,” he said. “They’re going to learn about our band’s history — they’re go-ing to learn about the Uni-versity of Minnesota as a whole.”

Icenogle said that first-years will traverse campus, volunteering themselves to different senior band mem-bers who will assign them tasks like climbing up to the observatory at the top of the Tate Lab of Physics or talk-ing to University President Eric Kaler. Icenogle said he even wrote to Dr. Date once.

During homecoming week, first-years also deco-rate a paddle that senior members sign once tasks are performed.

Icenogle said he once saw a paddle from 1945 that be-longed to a female marching band player who marched during WWII, when all of the men were off to war. Women were not officially allowed to be full team members until 1972.

The entire band will make its presence known through-out the week, playing rous-ers and fanfares, leading University tours where all community members are welcome, and they’ll even pull off a flash mob, Icenogle said.

This year will be Ice-nogle’s last, and he will part from a group that he refers to often as family, though he also has blood connections to the band.

When he was young, his brother and sister both played in the University of Minnesota Marching Band, and Icenogle said he hopes his involvement in the band continues that legacy.

FANS HOPING FOR FIRST KILL-ERA HOMECOMING WIN

Students are growing impatient with losses.

E ntering his fourth homecoming weekend as head coach of the Go-

phers football team, Jerry Kill still remains winless on the day alumni arrive back on campus to support their team.

While the alumni might be disappointed in the re-sults year after year, stu-dents also want no more losses on homecoming weekend.

“It blows we haven’t won since I’ve been here,” senior

season-ticket holder Scott Johnson said. “It just kind of brings down the weekend because you want to go out and celebrate a win rather than a loss.”

Despite the student body’s outcry for a win, the opponents the Gophers faced off with on homecom-ing since Kill started haven’t exactly been “cupcakes.”

Minnesota battled a No. 13 Nebraska team in 2011, a 5-1 Northwestern team in 2012 and an always-compet-itive Iowa team last season.

“That Iowa game was just tough,” Johnson said.

Whether it was the

quar terback controversy surrounding the game or the fact that Gophers fans watched as the Hawkeyes carried around the Floyd of Rosedale trophy, the 2013 homecoming game stuck out as a forgettable one from last year’s season.

“I was at home that week-end,” sophomore fan Justin Donald said, shaking his head. “But watching the game on TV with the [fam-ily], let’s just say it got diffi-cult at times.”

However, fans seem op-timistic about the Gophers’ battle with Purdue this time around.

“Purdue is nowhere near as talented as some of the other opponents on the schedule,” Johnson said. “I’d be shocked if we lose to them.”

The Boilermakers have struggled recently, finishing last year 1-11.

Kill and the Gophers should be able to put on quite the show against the lowly team from Indiana.

“I think it will be a good game,” Donald said. “Based on the way we played against Michigan, I don’t see any reason why we won’t be able to take care of Purdue at home.”

F or Nicholas Dircz, attending college at Winona State University was less

about the academics and more about investing in his future disc-jockeying career.

“My second semester, I saved up enough money to buy a single, crappy turn-table,” Dircz said. “So I’m like, ‘Screw it.’ This was pre-YouTube; I would buy a lot of VHS scratch battle per-formances. I watched them every day, literally; that’s all I did for a while in college.”

Now Dircz — who scratches as DJ Mad Mar-digan — is the official DJ for the Minnesota Timber-wolves basketball team. He’ll be opening for Iggy Azalea and Walk the Moon at the University of Minnesota’s homecoming concert on Fri-day.

Dircz likened his life at Winona — where he majored in mass communications and served as the editor-at-large for the campus newspaper — as a secret identity to his alter ego’s DJ ambitions.

“I was very involved with campus politics, and then I would scratch at night,” Dircz said. “I didn’t really focus on classwork.”

Since he began DJing, Dircz has remained commit-ted to scratch, a method of DJing that uses real vinyl as hardware to manipulate the sound of digital files, reminis-cent of old-school hip-hop.

“I bought some records, plugged my turntable into my home stereo system and would play beats from a disc man and scratch along,” Dircz said. “It allows you to tab thousands of songs at your fingertips, and you can still manipulate them the way you would a real record. I can do looping, I can remix on the fly, I can add effect. It’s awesome.”

This fusion of mod-ern production integrated with retro hardware led to Dircz labeling himself as an “electronic turntablist.” For Dircz, the sound stems from scratching the itch to scratch.

“I like electronic music, but I also like to scratch,” Dircz said of using real turn-tables. “I think it’s No. 1; I couldn’t imagine my life without scratching. It’s a huge part of my passion for my work. I created my own DJ company, and I only hire turntable DJs.”

Two years after gradu-ating, Dircz decided to go professional, and he landed club residencies at the Imperial Room in down-town Minneapolis and Tif-fany Sports Lounge in St. Paul before scoring his gig with the Timberwolves in 2007.

Spinning at basketball games for pregame, half-time and postgame sets has helped Dircz refine his scratch-heavy sound, sam-pling from across a range of genres.

“It’s super dope,” Dircz said. “I play everything from new rap to classic rock to electro house to ’90s R&B. You have every demograph-ic in [the Target Center]. I try to please everybody in a 12-minute set, which isn’t easy to do. But it’s been my style all along.”

Dircz’s influences encom-pass the scope of classic and contemporary vinyl-based DJs, including DJ Shadow, DJ AM and A-Trak.

“You’ll notice Steve Aoki is not on that list,” Dircz said. “If

you don’t scratch, it’s hard for me to get into a DJ set. I love it that much.”

He’s serious: In college, Dircz wrote a 12-page thesis to prove the turntable’s va-lidity as an instrument, even devising “a scratch notation system that’s similar to what you see in percussion,” Dircz said.

To demonstrate his point, the DJ presented the thesis with a jazz ensemble, col-laborating and integrating his turntables into the three-piece improvisation.

“We made three songs from scratch,” Dircz said. “Pun intended.”

W h i l e G o -phers foot-b a l l p l a y -ers may be

rocking TCF Bank Stadi-um on Saturday, some may be wishing they were able to witness Iggy Azalea rock the Bank the night before.

“I don’t know if I can get hooked up with a pass or something to be

up there with her,” senior running back David Cobb said.

Even though that won’t be a possibility for the Gophers r unning back, the fact that he wishes he could attend the concer t bodes well for the rapping sensation.

After being described by Gophers football players as “a nice entertainer” and “a good rapper,” it’s clear that Azalea may have a small fol-lowing on the team.

Cobb said Azalea has quite the following around the campus as well.

Many Gophers football players named Azalea’s top song, “Fancy,” of f her debut studio album as their favorite of her jams.

However, no matter how fond the Gophers are of Azalea, the real task at hand is playing Purdue the next day for the team’s homecoming game.

It’s a ver y impor tant game for the Gophers to

win in order to continue their rise in the Big Ten.

Purdue has struggled against power five confer-ence teams lately and fin-ished last year with a 1-11 record — the worst in the Big Ten.

The Gophers defense should be equipped to handle Purdue, as the B o i l e r m a k e r s r a n k e d last in the Big Ten in to-tal yards per game last year.

Redshirt junior corner-

back Briean Boddy-Cal-houn has played a signifi-cant part in the success of Minnesota’s defense this season.

Boddy-Calhoun is an-other Gophers player who said he wishes he could at-tend the concert.

“I ’m so fancy, that’s the hit right now. She is a good rapper; I’m really in to hip hop music,” Boddy-Calhoun said. “I wish I could attend, but I have business to attend to.”

C rowds will cram the banks of Uni-versity Avenue Friday night to

show their maroon and gold spirit during the Uni-versity of Minnesota’s an-nual homecoming parade.

A procession of about 80 entrants, including a marching band, color guard and homecoming royalty, will stride down the well-trodden track be-tween 15th Avenue South-east and Walnut Street — continuing a campus homecoming tradition that dates back almost a cen-tury.

Nathan Waldvogel, a marketing manager for Student Unions and Activi-ties, said photographic evi-dence dates the homecom-ing parade back to at least 1919.

“Really, it’s all [about coming] together to have

this parade to celebrate the University of Minne-sota,” Waldvogel said.

Each year, the home-coming parade typically draws between 15,000 and 20,000 students, fac-ulty, staff, alumni and local neighborhood residents to the same stretch of University Avenue, Assis-tant Director for Student Unions and Activities Erik Dussault said.

“The on ly t ime we changed the route in re-cent years was due to the I-35W bridge collapse,” Dussault said. “We had to stage all of the parade en-tries closer into campus.”

A total of 37 student groups and 20 University academic units and de-par tments will take par t in this year’s procession, which will feature seven floats from groups like the University Recreation and Wellness Center, the Minnesota Student As-sociation and the Ski and

Snowboard Club, organiz-ers said.

Children peering from the family viewing area will be able to enjoy hot chocolate, balloon ani-mals, face painting and a super-sized version of the Jenga block-stacking game, said Tim Zhang, the parade’s student logistics coordinator.

Each year, the Univer-sity of Minnesota Alumni Association selects a grand

marshal for the parade, Dussault said, adding that the spot is usually used to recognize a prominent alumnus.

This year the honor went to the family of John Mooty and Jane Glaser Mooty — including their children and grandchil-dren. The clan has collec-tively earned 35 degrees from the University of Minnesota over the span of four generations.

THE MAKING OF ‘FOREVER GOLD’

About 600 students voted for this year’s theme.BY JESSIE BEKKERjbekker@mndaily.com

T he name for this year’s homecom-ing was almost “Maroon Mile -

stone.”Although students often

have the chance to propose and vote on homecoming titles, this year played out a little differently.

The long process of choosing a final name for homecoming each year involves collaboration be-tween Student Unions and Activities full-time and stu-dent staff, said journalism senior Karlee Szeliga, the marketing coordinator on the homecoming Program Board.

Heading into homecom-ing’s 100-year anniversary at the University of Minne-sota this year, SUA took the lead on creating the theme,

dubbing it “Forever Gold” after that name won the stu-dent body’s votes.

In light of the anniver-sar y, the Program Board wanted to control the name more than in past years, said Nathan Waldvogel, an SUA marketing manager. The board chose five initial theme options that were then presented to the stu-dent body for voting on so-cial media, he said.

Normally, SUA asks students for theme ideas via social media, immedi-ately following Spring Jam, he said. Then, SUA staf f members narrow down the proposals and pick three to five options on which the student body votes.

Homecoming names are chosen on the basis of six main criteria, said Erik Dussault, assistant director for student activities.

For example, the names

should be easy to under-stand, he said. They should also appeal widely to the University community and convey school spirit.

This year, “Forever Gold” won a total of about 600 votes, Waldvogel said, coming in at the top of the list.

The runner-up names

this year were “Maroon Milestone” and “The Gold-en Era,” he said.

Dussault said he feels staf f and students worked together well this year to create a theme that would resonate with a diverse community.

“We’re all par t of the conversation,” he said.
