Normal Homecoming parade returns after 735 day hiatus

KESTON OLTMAN Missourian Reporter | @TheMissourian

After COVID-19 drastically changed the 2020 Homecoming parade, the 2021 parade makes its return to normalcy. The Homecoming parade has always been one of the Maryville communities’ most celebrated traditions of Northwest’s homecoming week and executive chair for the parade Bailee Urban is ready for the return of a normal one. “Personally, I am beyond excited to have a more normal parade this year,” Urban said. “Homecoming is one of my favorite parts of the year and I’m lucky to be the one planning the parade for everyone.” While COVID-19 didn’t shut down the parade last year, it diminished it. Greek life traditions like large floats and jalopies for example, were not allowed in 2020’s parade. This year, those floats and jalopies make their return. “Greek life has gotten back into their nor-

mal routines of working together to continue to show these traditions,” Urban said. “Everyone is excited to be back together and be able to show Maryville that Greek life is proud to be on the Northwest campus.” The parade starts on Oct. 30 at 9 a.m. and features the classic aspects of a parade, bands, dancing, floats The parade last year was held within Northwest’s campus, and restricted to University participants only, with the return to normalcy, the parade returns to Maryville’s fourth street, invoking a sense of community between Northwest and Maryville that was lost last year. “I think it is important for the parade to go through town because it unites the campus, students and Maryville community,” Urban said. “It’s important that all of us are supporting each other and this is one day that really shows that. I love seeing all of the Maryville residents lined up with Northwest students watching the parade together.”

Seniors should savor this last Homecoming KENDRICK CALFEE Editor-in-Chief @calfee_kc

A brisk wind passes through browning leaves to reach your face, shrouded in part by your favorite hoodie. You catch a breath in the stillness before kickoﬀ — before the 2 1/2 hours of excitement abduct your voice. The scintillating lights above bring new life to the painted grass below, and the aroma of burger dogs and funnel cakes drift through the stands as the Bearcat Marching Band plays the national anthem. This is an elite experience, and you don’t want to miss it. Homecoming week is here, and it’s important for seniors, especially, to make the most of it. For many, it could be their last homecoming experience as students. It’s easy to get caught up in the seriousness of attending college. There are deadlines and make-or-break assignments that just stress us out beyond belief. My advice: don’t take yourself so seriously all the time.

Do something wacky and out of the blue like dancing to “Ice Ice Baby” while dressed as Michael Myers in the Variety Show. Trust me, you’d beat out most of the cringe-worthy skits we see every year in our backwoods version of “America’s Got Talent.” Seriously though, use this week as a way to take the edge oﬀ. I would advise a brewsky or two, but some of you seniors are oddly young. And if football is just not your thing, that’s OK. Homecoming is centered around football, but it celebrates much more than that. It is a celebration of how every student has come together to make Bearcat Nation what it is today. Participate in the plethora of events we have listed on another page in this booklet. Plan out time to disregard school and make memories beyond the 11:59 p.m. freak outs. You deserve it. It’s a scary thought that after this year, I will be an alumni at future homecoming games. So you can bet your sweet bippy I’ll be taking advantage of this week — and you should too.

STUDENTS LOOK TO MAKE MASTERPIECES FOR DONATION CREATION CONTEST QUENTIN MORRIS New Reporter | @TheMissourian

Donation Creation, formerly known as canned art, is a competition for students to test out their creativity while giving back to the community. The event lasts all of Homecoming week with the structures being built Oct. 24. The name change is in response to one of the rule changes for this year’s event. Students will now be allowed to use boxed non-perishable food items — in the past only canned food was allowed. All structures will be built on the

second floor of the J.W. Jones Student Union and will be up for display until Oct. 31. All of the structures are based on the Homecoming theme Bearcats Remember When. In 2019, the homecoming theme was Bearcats Ever After. Students had a wide variety of ideas to follow the fairy tale theme. All kinds of structures were created including different variations of castles and one group created a large shoe. The competition has two different judging processes. One will involve a panel of students, staff and communi-

ty members. The second judging process is called the people’s choice. This is a way for students to support their favorite creation. Students can vote by donating their own non-perishable food items. Once the structures have been taken down all of the food will be donated to either the Bear Cat Food Pantry or Ministry Center. The judging panel will vote on their winner from 1-3 p.m. Oct. 25 in the Union. However, students will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite all week long.

VARIETY SHOW

After not taking place during last year’s homecoming due to COVID-19, the Variety Show is back with multiple skits, olio acts and a guest performance from the Bearcat Steppers. This year the show will be at 7 p.m. in the Charles Johnson Theatre in the Fine Arts Building due to construction in the Ron Houston Performing Arts Building. The Royalty and Variety Show Executive Chair Rylie Goeders said all of the performances are meant to encompass the theme of this year’s Homecoming: decades. Skits are open to every organization to sign up for, but Greek Life are the only ones participating in the skit portion of the show. Olio acts can be anything from playing an instrument or singing a song, to any talent that someone can think of. “The skits all compete against

each other for Supremacy Points and a cash prize, and the olio acts all compete against each other for a cash prize,” Goeders said. The top three skits will all get awarded a prize after judging, the first place prize being $450, second with $375 and the third place winner receiving $300. The top three olio acts will also get a prize, first place with $100, second with $75 and third with $50. To become an emcee for the show, students had to go through an audition process and were chosen by homecoming executives. The emcees this year, Peytan Schulte and Peyton Young, will also receive a prize of $100 for being chosen for the event. After all of the performances take place, homecoming royalty will be crowned at the end of the show. “It’s one of the favorite homecoming traditions that we’ve had for decades,” Goeders said. “It brings a lot of school spirit and you can really see how much people care about Northwest in their skits and olio acts.”

THE MUSICAL PRIDE

BMB NICK SCHUTTS Columnitst | @TheMissourian

Homecoming is a busy time for dozens of organizations across campus, and the Bearcat Marching Band is no exception. I’ve been in the marching band for three years now, and Homecoming is my favorite time of our season. The weekend begins bright and early for the BMB. Despite Walkout Day granting us the day oﬀ from practice, the band members still like to meet before game day. The crisp air in Bearcat Stadium at 9 a.m. greets us for a simple Friday morning practice. We’ll run through our halftime show, pregame

OF NORTHWEST

show, and some stand tunes. You can always feel the energy in the air. Saturday morning is when things ramp up. The Homecoming parade is my favorite thing that the BMB does all year. Ironically, the band doesn’t play during the parade. We dance, scream and cheer while the drumline cadences down Fourth Street. Seeing the smiling faces of friends, family and community members is particularly special throughout the parade. It’s always satisfying to hear “B-E-A-R-C-A-T-S” chanted back to you. After the parade, the band eats together; our main course is usually catered by Hyvee. The sandwiches ar-

en’t anything special, but the time we spend together as a band is. The football game is next. We’ll parade up the street to Bearcat Zone, a smaller pre-show performance. After playing a few songs, we march across the street and enter the stadium as chaotically as possible. If you’ve never seen the band’s track routine, you’re missing out. The rest of the game is always a blur of screams, laughs and excitement. It’s great to be a part of the Northwest hype. The BMB brings a lot to the table for Homecoming, and this year, we’re two years overdue for some musical mayhem.

WALKOUT DAY PIONEERS WOULD BE EMBARRASSED OF US NOW NATHAN ENGLISH Managing Editor @nathan_3nglish

Legend has it that one fall in the early 20th century, Northwest students decided to walk out of classes in preparation for Homecoming. The year 1915 marked the beginning of the Walkout Day tradition that has stood the test of time for over a century, according to Northwest. Except now, I think our collegiate ancestors would be embarrassed by the current state

of this University holiday. I can’t even begin to imagine how they coordinated a massive student demonstration like walk-out day prior to cellphones, but they managed to do it. Now, the tradition is ruined because the University is in on it. Instead of being a satisfying, rebellious activity before arguably the most fun weekend of the year at Northwest, it has become a University-sanctioned day oﬀ. The current state of Walkout Day is the “How do you do, fellow kids?” meme come to life. There’s not nearly as much satisfaction or joy for students when profes-

sors know and plan to not have class on that day; it makes the tradition less organic and authentic. I propose we keep the faculty guessing this year. Yes, we already know we won’t have classes Oct. 29, but what if we all just walked out of class on the 28th? Who could stop us? It’s the best way to honor the brave choice students made on this campus 106 years ago, and it means fewer classes and more free time. It’s the definition of a win-win. So be a true Bearcat and walk out of your ﬁrst class Oct. 28. Start Homecoming weekend the right way.

University to honor two classes at Golden Years Society Reunion JAKE PRATER Missourian Reporter | @TheMissourian

This golden year is made up of two graduating classes, 1970 and 1971, instead of the usual one. The Golden Years Society Reunion was among the many traditions that didn’t happen last year due to COVID-19. It, like many other events, will make its return at the 2021 Homecoming celebration. Northwest alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago return to campus for a bus tour, VIP seats for the parade, a pre-game barbeque, and among other things, the game itself. All of these treats and events will be courtesy of Northwest. Carma Kinman, the constituent and alumni relations specialist, is looking forward to having this annual tradition back.

“We always enjoy having the alumni on campus and it’s really special to have those alumni that have been with us for 50 years or more,” she said. “A lot of them are very supportive of Northwest and this is our chance to host them and make them feel welcome again and let them see how the campus has and has not changed.” The reunion begins Oct. 29 with a welcome reception and class pictures, and then go on a bus tour of the campus and town. This is followed by lunch and a ﬂag raising ceremony. Later on in the day there’s a social banquet and they watch the Homecoming Variety Show. On Saturday they watch the parade, tailgate, barbeque and watch the game, all from reserved spots and seats. “Students are still students,” Kinman said, “Even if they were a student 50 years ago. It’s amazing to listen to them talk about their days on campus.”

More than 700 fans were in attendance for Northwest volleyball’s first ever game in the Carl and Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse Sept. 17. The Bearcats were hoping to break in the new sport court with a win against MIAA rival Central Missouri. The opposite happened. The Jennies swept the ’Cats in straight sets, leaving Northwest with a bitter taste in its mouth. “It’s never fun to lose 3-0, so there has already been conversation about the next time we matchup and what we can do next time we play them,” Coach Amy Woerth said after the loss. The team will travel to Warrensburg, Missouri, looking to hand Central Missouri a home loss of its own Oct. 26. It will be the first time the Bearcats have played the Jennies on their home court since they came away with a 3-1 road win in 2019. The ‘Cats will return for Homecoming weekend hosting Fort Hays State Oct. 29 and Nebraska-Kearney Oct. 30.

Halfway through the 2021 fall season, Northwest soccer has had a series of ups-and-downs but has also accomplished multiple things. To talk about the successes of the Bearcats, it would be wrong to not start with the fact they started the season 2-0 for the first time since 2014. The first two games propelled the team to another mark on the year — 46 shots in the opening weekend. That number is the highest shot total through the first two games since 2012 — the last season the Bearcats ended the season above .500. “Players are starting to see the picture that we, as a coaching staff, are trying to paint for them,” coach Marc Gordon said. After the hot start, the Bearcats went on a three-game losing skid. Then, the Bearcats matched up with then-No. 13 Missouri Western. The two teams were tied 1-1, and it

looked like overtime was inevitable. But Northwest sophomore forward Teagan Blackburn got the ball right in front of the Griffons’ net and took the opportunity to take the shot. The ball found the back of the net with 10 seconds remaining in the game, and the Bearcats got a 2-1 win. Nine days after losing 3-0 to Central Missouri, the Bearcats played the Jennies for the second timeIn that matchup, they did something against the Jennies that they hadn’t done since 2008: lose. The Bearcats tied the Jennies 2-2. “I think we finished our chances,” Gordon said, referring to the opportunities the Bearcats had to score. “Focus, constant focus and competing up to our abilities was the difference.” Through the first 10 games, the Bearcats were 5-4-1 overall and 1-1-1 in MIAA play. The Bearcats have played five games against ranked opponents, including twice against Central Missouri, and are 1-3-1 in those matches.

Steady improvements for Bearcat golf as its fall season comes to a close

TRISTAN LYNCH Missourian Reporter | @NWMSports

As the fall season for the Northwest golf team comes to a close, the Bearcats can rejoice in knowing they are moving one step closer to competing for their biggest goal — qualify for Regionals. The ‘Cats are fortunate enough to have two seasons a year, starting in the fall and taking a short break for winter to resume play with their spring season. Northwest’s Athletics Director and head coach Andy Peterson knew prior to the season how important it was to post good scores, and though the fall season isn’t their championship season, the rounds still count towards NCAA qualifications. “The fall, for us especially, being the northernmost school in the league besides Nebraska-Kearney, is really a time for us to put some really good scores out there when

we are confident and at the top of our game,” Peterson said. The ‘Cats have had a productive fall season by staying consistent and gradually improving as the season went on, having two tournaments, the NSU Women’s Golf Classic (629) and the Grace Shin (628) tournaments, where they were within just a few strokes off from setting the lowest score by a Northwest squad (626). As the ‘Cats had low scoring tournaments, they also were able to take home a second place finish this season, with a team score of 641, at the Kansas City Cup in Smithville, Missouri, Sept. 27-28. Peterson saw the KC Cup as a step forward for the ‘Cats and knew they were heading in the right direction. “We played well, I think the main thing is we improved from day one to day two, which is something we have been trying to do almost all fall,” Peterson said. “So, that’s pretty good and a step in the right direction.”

The senior running backhas been the focal point of the Bearcats’ run game after transferring from U. of Indianapolis.

After an injury to QB1, Hohensee took over in Week 3 and has been one of the most efﬁcient passers in the country.

The senior defensive end is a force to be reckoned with on the Bearcats’ line, causing havoc on each play.

Swanson, a safety, leads the Lopers in tackles this season. He can help in the run defense and break up big passes.

Davis is perhaps the best dual-threat quarterback in the conference. He’s good with his arm and even better with his legs.

Koch is the Lopers’ leading receiver and the team’s No. 1 target. Expect opportunities to be created for the wideout.
