Director’s Letter
The Homecoming Steering Committee and the Mizzou Alumni Association would like to
thank you for participating in Homecoming 2015. This year the University of Missouri commemorates the 104th Homecoming by celebrating the traditions of our university and the
pride of all Missouri Tigers. Homecoming is a time in which students, faculty, staff, community members and alumni come together to celebrate Mizzou and its impressive history of
excellence. Mizzou students maintain and improve upon past traditions each year through
Homecoming festivities, and simultaneously look to the future as they create tradtions of
their own.
The Mizzou Alumni Association is proud to celebrate many events including the Homecoming Blood Drive, which is recognized as the nation’s largest student-run blood drive. The
Homecoming Food Drive benefits the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri. Campus Decorations and the Homecoming Parade are unique experiences that combine creativity and service to the Mizzou family and Columbia community. These are just a few of the
many Homecoming events that help bring Tiger spirit to Mizzou’s campus every Homecoming season. All events that support Mizzou would not be possible without the time and dedication of our students. We want to thank you for your commitment and hope you continue to
carry on the same Mizzou spirit in years to come, and to help make 2015 another sucessful
Homecoming.
The Homecoming Steering Committee has been working tirelessly in preparation for the
2015 Homecoming celebration. We strive to make positive changes each and every year,
and this year these changes are apparent in all areas of our Homecoming festivities. We are
excited about the events and activities scheduled in the weeks and days leading up to October 10th, when the fighting Missouri Tigers take on the Florida Gators.
Please use this rulebook as a resource for information regarding all aspects of the Homecoming celebration. Please keep in mind that these rules are subject to change. If changes
are implemented, liaisons will be notified to ensure clear communication for all organizations
involved. The Homecoming Steering Committee is committed to Mizzou and all participants.
We strive to foster Mizzou pride and spread the magic of Homecoming. We truly look forward to working with you!
In the spirit of Homecoming,
Tanner Bryant, Kelsey Denker, Kit Nelson

To ensure a smooth blood drive, it is imperative that donors arrive on time for their
scheduled check-in time. In order to receive on-time points for check-in, the donor must
bring their appointment card to the blood drive at their scheduled time along with a photo
ID. This person may check-in within 5 minutes of the scheduled time. For example, if his/

their Post Donation Instruction Sheet, appointment card, and Photo ID to the designated
check-out station within four hours of the scheduled appointment.
If a donor is deferred at any station in the donation process they should stop by the
check-out table and receive information to reschedule or check-out. Points can be
counted if they check out at the deferral station and returns later in the week to attempt
to donate or by having another donor attempt to give in place with their appointment
card.
Note: Individual groups/organizations are responsible for the successful check-in and
check-out process. Inform your members of the procedure and ensure that they do
not skip a step or miss out on points.

Blood
Each participating organization must require 15% of their membership to volunteer at
the blood drive. To ensure efficiency of volunteers, a student may not volunteer on the
same day after they donated blood. For example, you can volunteer in the morning and
then donate later that day but you cannot volunteer in the evening after donating in the
morning.
Every participating organization and Greek grouping must have two members attempt to
donate for the automated collection process. Automated Collection donors will register
in the same process as whole blood donors The following criteria should be used in
selecting the donors to attempt this process on site during the main days of the Blood
Drive:
Males should be: at least 5’1” in height and weigh at least 130 lbs
Females should be: at least 5’5” in height and weigh at least 150 lbs
Satellite blood drives allow your members to gain additional donor points by having family,
friends, and alumni attempt to donate blood at the specified locations on the specific
dates. Each donor who presents to give blood in the name of your Greek grouping, will
earn additional donor points for your organization. Sign up sheets will be provided at each
location.

buy shingles for a roof, and plexiglass for a window but not an entire prefabricated
house.

together with the other six scores, thus eliminating outliers, for a total of seven scores.
• Additional honorable mention awards will be given based on categories from the

Tips on Float Construction
•
The most important thing to remember when building a float is to know your
limitations. You will need to determine the budget, time commitment, resources,
and talent available.
•
Be sure to follow the rulebook closely as rules will be strictly enforced.
•
A detailed sketch is required. The purpose of the sketch is to make sure your
float is acceptable and meets all requirements. However, your float will be inspected
at a later date to make sure that your float meets all physical requirements.
•
It is important to start early to achieve your goal of having a successful float.
You will want to build a structure strong enough to last for the duration of the parade route. Remember: Know your limitations!
•
Papier maché and painting are all effective ways to cover the float; however,
there are other coverings that are acceptable. Please contact the
•
Parade Committee if you have questions concerning your choice of covering.
Remember: NO POMPING!
•
The safety of your float is most important!
