The time has come for all NT students to unite for a common
cause — Homecoming.
Throughout the week, student groups have been working
together to contribute to the festivities. The band has rehearsed
its marching routines. Fraternities and sororities have prepared
floats for the homecoming parade.
Now it's everyone else’s turn. Students should support NT
this weekend by participating in the Homecoming events.
The activities kick off at 11 a.m. Friday with the NT Go If Tour-
nament, and conclude at 1 a.m. Sunday after the homecoming
