The Brown and White Vol. 133 No. 20 Friday, November 17, 2017 ‘All the Lehigh News First’ Student leaders continue tailgate tradition By JESSICA HICKS Deputy News Editor Tomorrow morning, thousands of people will gather in the area surrounding Goodman Stadium to celebrate the Lehigh-Lafayette football game over food, drinks and music. Though tailgates often appear to be an arbitrary mix of students, alumni and friends, The Rivalry game tailgates require extensive planning to ensure safety and overall success. With 50 registered tailgates and many unregistered tailgate groups, planning begins far in advance to accommodate their size and needs. Joe Sterrett, Lehigh’s director of athletics, said the athletics department is heavily involved with the logistics of The Rivalry tailgates. Sterrett said his department plays a role in laying out the tailgate locations and providing a set-up and clean-up crew, as well as parking attendants. This year’s Rivalry tailgates are dispersed around the outside of Goodman Stadium, with Lafayette tailgates at the southernmost end of the campus and Lehigh tail-gates north of the stadium. Sterrett said the registration of tailgates and behavioral expec-tations fall under the umbrella See TAILGATE Page 2 Turkey Trot marks 62nd annual race GOODMAN SOLD OUT FOR RIVALRY GAME By CATE PETERSON News Editor The 153rd meeting of Lehigh- Lafayette football is completely sold out. Lehigh has sold out about a week ago, while Lafayette sold the remaining tickets by Wednesday night.r, “selling out” looks differ-ent for each school. “The home team gets more and it is based off the size of the school,” said Richard Haas, Lehigh’s assis-tant athletic director for sales and marketing. Haas said about 10 years ago, By SAMANTHA SILVERMAN Associate News Editor The Turkey Trot, an uphill, 2 1/2-mile race around campus, is Lehigh’s longest-running Rivalry Week tradition. This year’s run was the 62nd annual race. The tradition first started in 1953, when Lehigh was still an all-male university. Jane Josephson, director of intra-mural sports and recreation, has been organizing the race for the past 29 years. She believes the Turkey Trot is one of Lehigh’s greatest Rivalry Week traditions. “When we talk about tradition, other than the football game, this is No. 2,” Josephson said, “I’m all about tradition. As a student, I️ was involved in everything. I️ would like to be the one 20 years from now and say, ‘I️ did that.’” However, Josephson has found that participation in the run has decreased over time. “We have had numbers where 800 kids participated,” Josephson said. “Back in the day, students didn’t have all these others clubs and orga-nizations. So as those things change, what students like to do changes.” This year, there were 320 partic-ipants in the Turkey Trot and 73 participants in the Too Hot to Trot, a 1-mile walk around the lower part of campus. The Turkey Trot starts by the UC Front Lawn and loops up through the Hill. “It pretty much follows the Packard Express bus route,” Emily Krulik, ’18, said. Krulik has participated in the Turkey Trot for the past three years. She said many students and profes-sors run in the event, which inspires See TROT Page 4 school spirit. Krulik said the run gets the school riled up and excited. Josephson said it has become part of the tradition to wear fun cos-tumes in the race, as long as they’re in good taste. She said years ago, members of Delta Tau Delta, a for-mer Lehigh fraternity, would dress up as pilgrims. “I️ ran with my best friend both years, and the first time we ran for time and tried to complete it as fast as we could,” Hannah Plaza, ’18, said. “But last year we made it more fun and wore matching outfits and went really slow and stopped at all the fraternities and saw our friends. It was a really fun time being with her.” Josephson said a lot of planning and organization goes into the event, including coordinating with See TICKETS Page 4 Lehigh-Lafayette 152nd Rivalry game, 2016 (Roshan Giyanani/B&W Staff) NOT IN OUR HOUSE
