It's a fall Saturday morning at the University of Delaware. The sun is bright, and the sky is an azure blue dotted with fluffy white clouds. Walking along the golden tree- lined Mall, one can hear the bells high atop Memorial Hall pealing the hour through the crisp air . . . or perhaps one hears the far-off rum- ble of a freight train. - It has al- ways been this way at Delaware. Heading towards South campus, all one need do is follow the many cars and students enroute to the football stadium. Cars, vans, and trucks fill the stadium parking lot and nearby baseball field, and are flanked by students, parents, alum- ni: eating, drinking, laughing ... awaiting the big game. Tailgating is one of the many traditions that make U of D students proud. Although steeped in tradition, Delaware also adheres to many trends that all at once become pop- ular, and then slowly fade away. For example, it's not unusual on cam- pus to see a preppie sporting a La- coste shirt, khakis, and docksiders, walking right beside a leopard- and leather-clad punk rocker. And, of course, the U of D has had its share of the Rubik's Cube craze and Gen- eral Hospital mania this past year. There's a little bit of everything and everybody here. The combination of both trends and traditions constitutes a large part of the college experience here at the University of Delaware. They always have, and probably always will.
