Starting at the foot of Old Main and stretching one-half mile to Campbell Avenue lies an area that contains all the flavor and color of U of A. The Mall, which runs through the middle i of campus, can be ssen as a microcosm of life at Arizona. Starting early in the morning, joggers, bikers and other exercise enthusiasts took advantage of the uphill sloping mall. As they moved easterly the track got harder, it got more difficult to breathe and their leg muscles had to work to pull them toward Camp- bell. And always, when they reached the traffic light at the edge of the university, travelling west became easier . . . it ' s downhill. The runner was a symbol of life at U of A: there were challenges that seemed to drain the students of all their physical and mental energies but after overcoming those challenges, if he turned for another lap, there were downhill, easier portions to run over before the track took him uphill again. During the afternoon the Mall showed off the energy of the Univer- sity. Bands, mechanical bull riding contests , political rallies, religious speakers and circus clowns were all seen on the lawn in front of Old Main attracting students by the dozens. Lunchtime was probably the best time to catch a glimpse of the University in full color. Students, fac- ulty and staff all brought a sack lunch (an apple from the Sandwich Deli and a hot oatmeal cookie from the Fiddlee Fig,), to the Mall in order to spend their lunch hour enjoying the Arizona sunshine and watching the rest of the school pass by. While students were enjoying lunch at the west end of the Mall, frizbee and touch football games were simultaneously taking place on the east end. As if in a deliberate attempt to point out all aspects of university life, several students scattered themselves around the centrally located Mall Fountain, across from the main library, to get in some last minute studying while still enjoying the weather. It may have been the location or perhaps the physical structure of the Mall that originally made ' ,. +m it the focal point of outside-the-classroom exist- t the University. However, recently it I to be the energy, the color, the excite- ment and probably a keen sense of curiousity that drew people to the Mall. It really didn ' t make ' ; any difference why people began to come in the first place because the people that congregated on the lawn made the Mall what it is: a multi-fac- eted mini-sketch of the University of Arizona.
