Homecoming 2007 was slated to be a turnaround year for University of Nevada, Reno traditions by Flipside Productions. A variety of events with large student turnouts proved that goal to be a success, said Eli Reilly, director of programming for the Associated Students of the University of Nevada, Reno.

New events, more student participation and Lt. Dangle of “Reno 911” will help redefine Homecoming 2007, student programming director Eli Reilly said. After years of lackluster support at homecoming events – including only eight floats in last year’s parade – Reilly said he hopes this year’s event will be a success.

University of Nevada, Reno club Circle K brought two bands to campus for a mellow fundraiser Thursday but was met with a small crowd, said Gracie Geremia, club president.

Lopez, a former sex worker, spoke at the Jot Travis Student Union Pine Lounge Sept. 4 as a part of the Nevada Speakers Series. About 60 students showed up to the event, Flipside programmer Tim Taycher said. He said he viewed it as a success.

That’s the righteous feeling of being 18, with no more parents to look out for you. It’s Reno, freshman year of college. Free from the big city of Las Vegas, meeting new people in Reno? Puh-lease. Everyone seems to be from Vegas.
