Wilbur and the university band spark excitement for the football team in Rose Bowl Stadium. A light from above A Sophos member takes place in the annu- al A Day festivities. Above the Friday night traffic, just west of the University of Ari- zona campus, a symbolic lighting takes place. The event occurs once a year, on the eve of the season ' s first football game. This event is the annual outlining of the A on Sentinel Peak. At dusk, Sophos and Spires, sophomore men and women honoraries, light flares and carry out the 63-year tradition. The cement and rock A was built in 1914 by UA students, staff and Tucson businesses. It was sparked by three Arizona football games - - The Occidental game in 1914, which also prompted the name Wildcats. and the Pomona games of 1914 and 1915 Orville McPherson, a UA fullback in 1914, summed up the first A-Day : The day we built the A was like a holiday in Tucson. There was tremendous interest and we could feel this was going to be a wonderful tradition. Nancy Ridgeway, a 1986-87 Spires mem- ber, tells what the tradition means to her It unites the spirit of the University. It ' s a tradition that should be kept. It was a neat feeling to be there and to know the whole city was looking up watching us carry out the tradition. Teresa A. Tokar SPIRIT 25

Enthusiastic Energy Electrifies Everyone Season ticket sales soar Wildcat spirit is electrifying. The energy level rises higher than the noise volume, as 50,000 plus pa- trons fill Arizona Stadium through- out the ' 86 season. The American Heritage Dictionary defines spirit as strong loyalty or dedication. More season tickets for football and basketball games were sold than ever before and dedica- tion to the Wildcats was obvious. Besides physical evidence, yelling and clapping shows inner feelings and enthusi- asm. Enthusiasm and high energy is what spirit is, junior Liz Weiss says. From Softball to water polo, from winning the College World Series in baseball, to losing the Homecoming football game, athletes and sideline patrons give their all and how that they have what it takes to make UA spirit shine. Teresa A. Tokar Supporting the Cats by cheering and displaying the Arizona State flag are Larry Diaz and friends. Wilbur leads the UA crowd in the spelling of ARIZ ONA. Jim Birmingham, 59, and Stan Matele, 99, join the offense in celebrating a UA touchdown. Birmingham and Matele are joined by no. 22, Eugene Hardy in a high-five showing of satisfaction. 24 STUDENT LIFE fc |MD ayfesv
