Participants rushed around the Gilchrist parking lot assembling their f loats for the homecoming parade Saturday morning. Despite the chilly 30-degree weather, golf carts quickly transformed into purple and gold fairytales before judging took place. University Book and Supply sponsored the event. Numerous student organizations took part in the parade, such as Sigma Phi Epsilon, the Panther Pep Crew, Bender Hall, Phi Sigma Pi, Residence Hall Association, Rod Library and many others. Floats were assembled the morning of the parade this year due to lack of storage space for the golf carts, which are normally held in the Neilson Field House

Miz Elizabeth, lead vocalist of the Hot Sardines, gets into the groove of the band’s first song. The Hot Sardines performed Saturday night in the Gallagher Bluedorn Perfoming Arts Center.
The Hot Sardines kicked off their Midwest tour at UNI on Saturday night. In the spirit of the swinging sound of the Hot Sardines, the Gallagher Bluedorn’s foyer was decorated with a small bar, volunteers in 1920’s apparel and many decorative standing tables to “get people in the mood for the show” said Steve Carignan, Associate Dean at the GBPAC. Additionally, a pre-show reception was held for donors of the GBPAC to celebrate the past 15 years. The pre-show included UNI Ballroom and Swing performing their own swing dance number,
project to return
dancing lessons afterwards. After a few audience members joined the group to try their hand at swinging, more people began to join. Choreographers from UNI Ballroom and Swing led the swing dance lessons with the audience until the Hot Sardines performed. The Hot Sardines took the stage and dispelled the fourth wall that is set between the performers and their audience. With the pit replaced by a dance floor, the UNI Ballroom and Swing, along with several students and community members, danced along to the music of the Hot Sardines.
Pi Sigma Epsilon plans to bring back their f lex meals project mid-November. PSE is a co-ed national sales and marketing fraternity that takes on a wide range of service and for-profit projects each year. The service project was essentially created to serve and impact community members in need by utilizing UNI student f lex meals that often go unused.
