It was a day for the Huskers to show Horace Greeley their…

It sabotages the family by recognizing it as the perfect unit for delivery of pain and humiliation, the perfect power field on which to destroy or infantilize one’s opponents (who are all the other family members). In early Pinter, say up through 1965 when The Homecoming was first performed in London, the turf war reigns supreme. Here we have a large home in unfashionable North London, inhabited by four men: Max…
It was game day and we were all playing in the Homecoming Game. It was exciting because we were the first freshman to play in the Homecoming Game. The day was short and we got out of school around 11:00 and was warm outside. After school, we had to go to the Homecoming Parade. The Parade was fun and we threw out bubble gum and some other kinds of delicious candy. A lot of our friends were at the parade and obviously gave them a lot of candy. For us the parade was about 15 minutes and then we took…

Howard University’s homecoming this year deserves an overall grade of “F.” Howard students tend to hype up this annual event, but the school did not deliver. Because of the exorbitant cost of tickets, lack of security, and lack of organization, Howard University homecoming 2012 let down many eager students and alumni. If Howard hopes to reignite a sense of school pride and alumni participation, the homecoming committee needs to do better. The outrageous cost of event tickets may very well be the…

My school pride has always been something I've been proud of. Coming to Manchester as a CHICE student wasn't always easy. My only way to school was my dad and my only way home was my mom.

I also played three sports that I have dedicated myself to since freshman year. To me school spirit is about enjoying…
