' We officially dub you Knights! After almost losing the Outfly privilege in 1986, Wartburg students experienced a Fall Term Outfly that was new this year, though old in tradition. The new Outfly was called by President Vogel in the morning so that no students knew when it would be called. This is how Outfly was called many years ago, although in recent years the students have called it on the eve of the day off. With this new form a great deal of responsibility fell onto the shoulders of Student Activities Committee (SAC) to plan the day ' s events. Thus, many ideas were examined and the day ' s schedule was planned and finalized so that it could be put into action on any day the President decided would be Outfly. It was a definite success, SAVC President Gail Sutton said. We tried a few new things and brought back some old traditions. It went over very well. The day began with President Vogel declaring Outfly at the Victory Bell and the activities didn ' t end until after a dance late that night. Other events included a giant snake dance through Waverly, the official dubbing of the freshmen as Knights, a blanket movie, outdoor meals and a city-wide clue game. Although the revised Outfly was very different from previous years, most upperclassmen enjoyed and encouraged the start of a new tradition. I think the changes made this year were positive, said senior Marlys Thomas. It makes a lot of sense to have planned activities for the campus instead of unstructured parties. Whether a freshman experiencing Outfly for the first time or a senior experiencing it for the last, Fall Term Outfly 1987 will be a special memory, and with the changes, Outfly ' s rich tradition will continue at Wartburg for many years to come. President Bob Vogel, KWWL news anchor Ron call Outfly. Students gather together to chant We are Wartburg! and We want Outfly! 12
