A modern panty raid.
That's the way Mike Jeff
rey, chairman, describes
Spring Day festivities which
will take place Friday when
school is dismissed at noon.
Spring Is the time when
minds, especially those of star
dents, wander, and young
people feel like showing the
world that they are "alive."
Less than ten years ago this
meant student riots and pan
ty raids today it means ridi
culous, but harmless games
ini
and lots of spirit at East
Campus' tractor field.
Over 3500 students are ex
pected to migrate out to East
Campus Friday afternoon for
games of tug of war, roller
skating, obstacle relays, push
ball and pyramid races.
The games will start at ex
actly one o'clock and perma
nent trophies will be award
ed to the men's and women's
groups winning the games and
collecting the greatest total of
points.
There will also be a worn-

en's and a men's mystery
game. Since there is no lim
it on the imagination that can
be used for these games who
can tell what the mystery
games will be?
Two of the traditional
games are the push ball and
the obstacle race. In the push
ball game one team of men
tries to push a giant ball
across another team's side.
The obstacle race usually
includes casual short-pants co
eds racing at putting on gir
dles and other ridiculous ap
parel. Jeffrey explained that
Spring Day was first started
by both the administration
and the students at the Uni
versity to discourage spring
riots and panty raids.
The first Spring Day was
in 1956 and the University's
last major panty raid was In
1955.
In April of 1955 at least 19
students were suspended from
school after the University's
largest panty raid in w h i c h
thousands of dollars of prop
erty and clothes were dam
aged or stolen
This large riot started as a
fraternity-sorority water fight
and after other students were
attracted it soon grew to mob
action and violence.
All but two sorority houses
were raided and windows,
screens and doors were dam
aged and women's clothing
stolen. For example, Chi Ome
ga reported at that time $400
worth of clothes lost and $500
worth of property damage.
Since 1955 both the admin
istration and the student body,

explained Jim DeMars, assis
tant chairman, have strongly
opposed student riots and pan
ty raids, but Spring Day has
provided a substitute with the
same ridiculous fun, but with
none of the violence.
Sigma Kappa won the over-all
trophy for women's

over-all winner was Sigma

ivy Day Traditions
Oldest On Campus
Growing out of the annual
Senior Class Day which was
started in 1889, Ivy Day is
reputed to be the oldest of all
campus traditions.
Underclassmen were orig
inally permitted no part of
the day and even the resting
place of the first ivy is not
known. At that time the plant
ing of the ivy was the main
event of the day.
Two years later, the Ivy
Day oration, the reading of
the class poem, and the an
nouncement of the class gift
were added to the ceremonies.
After the senior president
planted the Ivy, he presented
the trowel to the junior presi
dent as a symbol of passing
on the responsibilities to the
upcoming senior class.
Fraternity Initiates

A convocation for all new
fraternity initiates will be held
tonight at 7:30 in the Union

The .first May Pole dance
was held in 1903. In 1905, the
Innocents Society made the
tapping of their successors an
added event in the growing
tradition.
It was in this year also that
members of the Black Masque
Society, now Mortar Board,
first masked their members
for the following year.
The Ivy-Daisy chains joined
the ceremonies In 1910. The
chains are carried by women
who have made outstanding
contributions to their living
units. The May Queen and her
Court were presented for the
first time on Ivy Day in 1912.
The Queen and her maid of
honor are elected in an all
campus vote of junior and
senior women. Selected by
Mortar Board, the members
of the court are freshmen,
sophomore, junior and senior
women who have been out
standing in their scholarship,
leadership and service.
The May Queen, Maid of
Honor, members of the court
and chain leaders are all kept
secret until Ivy Day.
In 1923, the Kosmet Klub
began the Men's Ivy Day Sing
which was joined by the AWS
Sing in 1927.
