Losers' Walk, 1954
12018-06-21T23:12:59+00:00Andrew Gillreath-Browned57b57bd543a26fc6b1c5658d33aa5903711e25302Washington State College (later Washington State University) students gather outside the Compton Union Building (CUB) in preparation for the Losers' Walk to the University of Idaho campus. Signs present read "Idaho have Fun; We won't walk 'til 81" (presumably this involved some bad math and refers to WSC last having lost 29 years earlier, though the correct math would put 29 years later at '83), and "If Jones goes, so goes Alpha Tau Delta," which refers to ASWSU President Barry Jones. Traditionally the Losers Walk bet only involved members of the two schools student government and student newspapers, but others almost always accompanied them. In 1954, reports vary in saying from 1000 to 2000 Cougars walked.plain2018-09-11T19:54:51+00:00Is found in PC 28, Paul Philemon Kies Photographs http://libraries.wsu.edu/masc/finders/pc28.htm, at Washington State University Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC), http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascpc028b03-H18-11-19541026ImageStudents10/26/1954ark:/80444/xv92353Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries: http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascNorth and Central America--United States--Washington (state)--Whitman county--PullmanIn copyright.
