U-M gained fame from its tradition of academic and athletic excellence. It ' s local notoriety, however, came from quirky traditions such as the Naked Mile. In 1983 the men ' s crew team ran naked through central campus in celebration of the last day of classes; the run quickly became a campus-wide craze. On April 19, about 500 to 1,000 men and women gathered at the corner of South University Avenue and Walnut Street to run the mile; over 5,000 spectators stood by to cheer them on. Crew team member and LSA senior Casey Jenkins said, Everyone feels self- conscious at first, but you ignore the crowd and loosen up. After a while, the crowd boosts your running. Some students were surprised by their own partici- pation in the event. LSA junior and crew team member Stephanie Norwell said, My freshman year, I didn ' t think I ' d ever be able to run the mile, but I was surprised by how many women did run. It was cool. From South University Avenue, runners raced through the West Engineering Arch and the Diag to the Art Museum steps for a chorus of Hail to the Victors and photo opportunities. The mile concluded at the Cube, near the Union, although the fun did not end there. Police had blocked off the area to ensure order to the event; however, some participants got carried away in their enthusiasm. Some runners streaked through the study rooms in the Law Quad and the Shapiro Library as well as through the Union. Few schools can boast several hundred naked people racing towards a single goal as part of their college experience. It was certainly a unique feeling, Norwell said of the event.
