University of Arizona Homecoming
1939: Kappa Sigma house won for Homecoming decoration in 1939, the second year in a row for the honor. The Desert yearbook described it as "an Alley Oop bearing down on a red-nosed gentleman" to depict the Wildcats game against Centenary College. Arizona won, 7-0.
1958: Kappa Sigma fraternity members won first place in the "Proposition 200" category with a funeral procession in protest to the controversial ballot initiative to change the name of Arizona State College in Tempe to "Arizona State University." Tucsonans took issue, since UA was the defacto state university for 73 years.
1977: Orville "Speedy" McPherson, a fullback on the 1914 UA football team, left, reminisces with Harold C. Schwalen (Kappa Sigma), a 1917 distinguished engineering grad, during the 1977 UA Homecoming alumni dinner at the Ramada Inn Tucson. McPherson, on the famous Pop McKale team that "fought like wildcats" spent 30 years in journalism. Schwalen was professor and department head in agriculture engineering until 1965.
