Hare Scare Triskaidekaphobia - ever heard of it? I know a Rabbit who has. Triskaide- kaphobia is fear of the num- ber 13. The poor Rabbit at the April 13, 1984, Spring- fest had every reason to fear the number 13. That fateful Friday marked the date he was dropped to his death from a crane by heartless TU stu- dents looking for laughs. Publicity before the Rab- bit Drop brought TU into the national limelight as concerned animal lovers and even representatives of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals called to see if a cuddly cotton- tailed carrot-eater was actu- ally going to fall - or be dropped - to his death by inhumane criminals, the way they saw it. Springfest organizers refused to com- ment and would only smile and say, I guess we'll have to wait and see, won't we?', Wait and see they did. Local TV stations were on the scene, ready with their newscenters, action cams and eyewitnesses. But it was all for naught. A Volkswagen Rabbit fwhich car doctors had pulled the plug on sometime before, formally declaring the engine deadl was adorned with floppy ears and a cotton tail before be- ing laid to its final resting place on Harwell Field. The crowd turnout was somewhat sparce, but for those students who missed the live performance, Tul- sa's local TV stations re-ran it for three nights straight. Now THAT'S entertain- ment! - Amber Merchant Spring
