Other days, big crowds were drawn in by sched- uled events. It was a rare occasion to not see a group or indi- vidual person set up on the mall with a table or two. Often the purpose was either to sell some type of merchandise, to get students to join a club, or to expand the knowl- edge of students with information. The activities varied from music groups, speakers, and other performers to different types of ii|y ff ■ festivities and fairs. Fairs, such as Photo by Lindsey Gullett This event let student the Sports Illustrated Campus Fest, become sumo wrestlers he Off Campus Housing Fair, the for a day. It was one or t the more popular Craft Fair, and the NBA Jam Ses- events. sion, were held on a regular basis Some of the more informational events were the Human Rights Day, the Volunteer Fair, the Rape Awareness Week, and the National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week. A twenty-four hour vigil was held in November to remember the POWs and MIAs. Another vigil was held for the remembrance of the Holo- caust. Some of the events, like tailgate parties, helped inspire Wildcat Spirit. The Blood Drive Challenge in October pitted U of A against ASU. And spirit was shown by the collecting of cans in November. The goal was to get enought cans to go around Old Main. Even without a planned event or activity on the mall, there were always students around. They gathered to meet friends, sit and relax, or study for their next class. It was guaran- teed that something was happening on the mall every day. IV Campus Life Photo by Lindsey Gulletl

Photo by Lindsey Gullett One event during the Sports Illustrated Cam- pus Fest was like an American Gladiators episode. Students were glad to do something fun between classes.
