This young lady remembered which stone not to step on. Bet she passed all of her exams, too. Being careful not to step on the seal of LSU in the Field House Lounge is a much-abused tradition. . . . traditions. No college is complete without a host of traditions passed down through the years, and LSU is certainly not lacking. One of the most revered of these traditions concerns the large square in the pave- ment in the front of the Law Building. It is widely known that those who step on this square will without a doubt flunk their next exam. Students on their way to Tiger Town can be seen scrupulously avoiding this mistep. Another tradition dear to the hearts of all students is the kiss under the Campanile. Any boy walking through the passageway beneath the Tower is entitled to kiss the young lady he is escorting. It is said that no girl is a true co-ed until she has ex- perienced this. Flanking the north door of the Gym are the two Civil War cannons which play a part in another famous tradition. Inside the main door of the Field House lies the beautiful seal of LSU. Despite the fact that students are supposed to pass around it, many unthinking feet trod it every day. Which twin had the Toni? These four barbers seem determined to make sure no one ever finds out.
