If students thought senior year of high school was the last chance to enjoy all the revelry and fun of homecoming, they were wrong. Pep rallies, games, dances and the homecoming court elections have arrived at UNM. Fourteen men and women are in the running for a crown, a diverse group of students from different groups and majors, all of whom are hoping to win the title of homecoming king or queen. Candidates have been shaking hands, Tweeting and creating Facebook events for their campaigns and participating in recent ASUNM events as part of their plan to win students’ favor and their votes. Students who wish to cast their opinion can do so on the main floor of the SUB Wednesday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., next to the Welcome Desk. As only undergraduate students are eligible to run, only undergraduates are eligible to vote. The top three candidates for both titles will be announced Friday between noon and 1 p.m. at the Homecoming All-Sports Pep Rally in the SUB Atrium. The final crowns will be placed Saturday night at the Homecoming Game at the UNM Football Stadium. Hopefuls are required to meet several requirements: They must be enrolled in at least six credit hours, carry at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA and not be on any University probation, as well as be an undergraduate student on main campus.
