Fireworks, food and friends, a week of tradition and festivities BY JONATHAN BORGE| STAFF WRITER

ith a dimly lit candle in one hand and a waving finger raised high across the air, hundreds gathered around Lake Osceola on Friday night for a tranquil hymn of the alma mater, a symbolic tradition defining Homecoming celebrations. This tradition is only one of many that devoted Hurricanes practice year after year. Under the cue of President Donna E. Shalala and Sebastian the Ibis, fireworks framed
the skyline of the Hecht and Stanford Residential Colleges, a view that was coupled by the sounds of the Band of the Hour and the chants of Hurricane cheerleaders and Sunsations. Sights and sounds, however, were not the only memorable part of Homecoming. The smell of burning wood and ignited scent was a call for Iron Arrow, UM’s highest honor, to initiate new members and recognize those who share a love of alma mater. SEE HOMECOMING, PAGE 4
