At one time the big event on campus, Sadie Hawkins Day has diminished to a sparsely at- tended conglomeration of traditional events. As an example of its one-time prestige, former Governor David Pryor once attended it, only to be thrown into Weevil Pond with a host of other celebrants. Participants weave from one event to an- other, some rather difficult, like the three- legged race. In this race, the opposing legs of a male-female team are lashed together, creat- ing a spectacle in that the team must attempt to run.a given distance - an effort that requires sometimes absent equilibrium.
