Joinif18 the annual Alumni Tail8ate this year was the first ever 8tudent Homecomif18 Tai18ate. The event, sponsored by the Associated 8tudents, helped rally student enthusiasm for the 8ame. The U8D football team had an amazif18 day. The Toreros 8ot off to an early lead and trounced the Whittier Poets 20 to 0. Halftime festivities concluded Greek Week with the announcement of Deans Trophy winners Laillbda Chi Alpha and Alpha Delta Pi, and Greek Week champions Delta Tau Delta and Alpha Phi. Jeb D0Uc3herty was honored as Bur8er Kin8 Player of the Week. And the Choral 8cholars serenaded the audience with "8omewhere Over the Qainbow" before the announcement of the homecomif18 court. "...the 881Ile was 8reat. 8if18if18 at halftime was incredible," said Choral 8cholar Eric Danielson. Whether they were cheerif18 the Toreros onto victory, catchif18 up with old friends at the tail8ate, or dancif18 the ni8ht away at the Hotel del Coronado, the U8D CO[Il[Ilunity sparkled with school spirit for Homecomif18 1996.
