The Diag: Heart Of Campus Activity You are rushing to class, so you cut through the Diag. You have to meet some- one, so you head for the Diag. The Diag is the place to be seen or heard; it ' s the focus of all campus activity. You can check out the latest parade of fashionable people shuffling by, or study leisurely on the grass. Playing frisbee or hacky sack are also options. If you want to run into someone you know, you ' re likely to find them in the Diag. While crossing the M , you will un- doubtedly encounter people with a cause. It may be Preacher Mike setting the heathens straight, a Hare Krishna ex- plaining the fall of man , or a man hand- ing out Gideon bibles. The Diag is the forum for all campus political causes. This fall, Mondale, Hart and all the leading state Democrats con- vened at the Diag for a nationally recog- nized campaign rally. Reaganites were not without their say either, bearing posters and buttons. Because of its easy accessibilty, the Diag, centered at the heart of the campus crossroads, is the place to be.
