It is something everyone will want to bring their children back to see And in the middle of it all stands Old Main, the symbol of the university. It was the first building constructed for the University of Arkansas. Senior Jennifer Wood calls Old Main the basis of tradition at the University of Arkansas. It is the edu¬ cational and social center of the uni¬ versity and makes this campus feel like home Old Main has become the nationally recognized symbol of the UA. But perhaps the real symbol of the university is the famous Hogcall. It has been heard everywhere there is a gathering of Arkansas fans. My favorite thing about the Hogcall is that one person can start it, and everyone will join in said senior Rebecca Brooksher. There ' s just nothing like joining 50,000 fans in calling those HogsJ Brooksher continued. The University of Arkansas is full of traditions and can boast a rich and colorful history. All students and alum¬ ni should be proud to look to the University of Arkansas as their alma mater. -Story by Jennifer Bone 19 Traditions Spirit Campus Life
