The much-trodden upon LHS seal was painted curiously enough, right smack in the middle of the mam flow of traffic in the quad at the beginning of the year. The position a person took on this issue branded him as either a prudish sentimen- talist or a rowdy with questionable morals lacking any respect for school or spirit. Either way, there were those who took it upon themselves to judge and there were also those who deliberately stomped across the battleground. Several people of importance were re- ported placing their dirty sneakers and wing-tips across the soiled letters. Some radicals were even seen sitting squarely in the middle of the seal glaring visciously at passersby. The cause of unrest was de- bated in classroom, quad and through the printed media. But it wasn ' t long before our wandering rebels grew tired of being hen-pecked and preached at and soon for the simple sake of peace on campus, the above-mentioned were seen picking their way carefully around the seal. People who accidentally did step on the emblem came up with the guiltiest faces some risked life and limb to avoid it, teetering on the brink with flailing arms and shakey legs. And to this day footprints on the seal are unheard of, much less planted purposely.
