There’s been free food, popsicles, t-shirts, trivia contests, a dance, concerts and school spirit in every corner of campus. This homecoming is one of a kind because of the 75th anniversary of the Union.
The Union has been celebrating by commemorating its former occupants. There used to be a barbershop, bowling alley, soda fountain and even a mini hospital. Today the Union is home to weekly concerts, the bookstore, a convenience store and one of the only Panda Expresses in the state.
As the Union updates current students on its former state, homecoming is a great chance to update former students on the current state of the Union and campus. The Union celebration came to a close on Thursday when students gath- ered to eat their little hearts out with cake.
With all the alumni and students, expect this Saturday’s match up against San Jose State at 2 p.m. to host a prideful crowd of Cowboy spirit. Clap and sing along to Cowboy Joe, wear your game day gold and show the alumni just how alive the current student body be.
UW staple RSO, Cowboy Country Swing Club, were the official ambassadors to this year’s homecoming dance.
This year’s dance featured the music of Richie Law & the Southern Roots Band. With country swing dancing being a large part of Wyoming culture, we couldn’t expect any- thing but a high-energy band to keep us dancing all night long.
Greek life students sang their hearts out at the annual homecoming sing. Tri Delta hosts their annual 24-hour pancake breakfast Saturday at 10 a.m. Why not stuff your face with all the pan- cakes you can eat for a great cause?
Come out to the student tailgate before Sat- urday’s game at 11 a.m. outside gate three. Eat more free food, play games and listen to live mu- sic before rooting on the Cowboys. Ride for the brand, let ‘er buck and go pokes!
