Show "UTE" TRADITIONSi.THE SEAL. The Seal is scared. What is it scared of, nobody seems to know, unless it is the way Dean Gibson continually walks straight across it. Some say that the printers made the Seal scared. We don't get it.II. UTAH MAN. This is the freshman song. In order to sing it, they have to jump up and obstruct our view. A freshman no sooner gets to be a sophomore but there are more freshman to obstruct the view. We don't know what to do about it.III. FOUNDER'S DAY. On Founder's Day some guns boom out behind the Park Building, and everybody giggles. It's a great day.IV. "U" DAY. Students are ducked in tubs full of whitewash. It makes their eyes smart and gets in their beards. And then everything went black, only we have spring vacation now to pick gansies. A gansie forgot all about "U" Day traditions.V."U" PILGRIMAGE. The railroad ties used in thelog-rolling contest are burned, and all the organizations gather around to toast their faces. The Friars (who said Delta Phis?) have an unusual way of singing, but the Sigma Chis win with the same original song they used the year before.VI. LOG-ROLLING CONTEST. Hundreds of freshmen beat each other over the head with pieces of rubber hose. A coupla sophomores watch and win the decision. It keeps the frosh class up all night.VII. THE ROSTRUM. This boulder is splattered with green paint three times a year by the faculty. The freshmen accuse the sophomores, and the sophomores accuse the freshmen. The faculty makes both classes clean it.VIII. UNDERCLASSMEN DAY. The freshmen finally round up some sophs for the sack rush, and then they tear their clothes off. It makes the soph president feel silly. He wishes he were frosh president.IX. UTAH FIGHTS. This phrase reflects the good old-fashioned idea of an associated, harmonious, friendship-promoting university. It is painted on the roof of the gymnasium and keeps it from leaking when it rains.l^llimJLand its transportationWHAT IT MEANS TO YOUR STATEa Coal producers in Utah had a payroll of $5,000,000 in 1931.Utah receives each year in taxes from coal producers $375,000 and from railroads $2,500,000.
