1900s
KU students revealed in class rivalry during the 1900s, when an annual May Day brawl was the thing to do. And in 1901, the good-natured competition brought Lawrence the junior-senior Hat Rush. See story page 4.
1940s
Dandelions were the enemy during campus digs of the 1940s. Before herbicides came along, hundreds of KU faculty, students and staff donated their time and knees to the pursuit of the yellow weeds. See story page 7.
1970s
The only thing in the 1970s that was more popular than streaking, was watching it. About 10,000 spectators cheered 25 of those who dared to bare after the 1974 KU-K-State basketball game. See story page 10.
