Move Out of the Way, Ducks! An uproar emerges from one side of the dining hall. Half of the dining hall watches either laughing or moaning in sympathy amidst slaps, kicks, and screams of “No, not tonight, please. Put me down! I’m wearing . . The victim’s buddies carry him out of the nearest door. After an intense struggle, he lands in the lake. Throwing people in the lake, according to Ms. Marguerite Chiles, Ls one of Furman’s newer traditions. Many of the old traditions did not survive the move to the present campus in 1961 and, of course, the old campus did not have a lake. Students discovered very quickly that the lake provided more than just the recreational outlet described in the Helmsman. The large pond also gave students a place to dunk victors in elections, newly-engaged couples, and especially, birthday kids. Since then, the “six month rule” has come into being — six months before, six months after a birthday; one can get dunked anytime now. No one is safe anymore! Another Furman baptism. The victim emerges, covered with leaves, slime, duck feathers, and Furman’s own version of seaweed. 24 Student Life
