The Brown and White Vol. 131 No. 20 Friday, November 18, 2016 ‘All the Lehigh News First’ Roshan Giyanani/B&W Staff Lehigh football players and fans storm the field after Lehigh’s victory over Bucknell to win the Patriot League Championship on Nov. 5 in Goodman Stadium. The Lehigh football team will take on Lafayette this Saturday in Easton to play the 152nd rivalry game. The Hawks won the 151st game against the Leopards last year and are in a position to continue their winning streak this year. Bus policy deters potential game attendance Lafayette issues strict tailgate rules By REBECCA WILKIN Deputy News Editor As Lehigh prepares for the 152nd Lehigh-Lafayette rivalry football game with a series of spirit week tra-ditions, Lafayette students are gear-ing up for Saturday’s game with their own rivalry week rituals. While both schools plan to continue their long-established traditions, the rival institutions implemented new events this week to encourage stu-dent excitement for the most-played college football rivalry. Lehigh’s Spirit Week kicked off Wednesday with the annual Bed Races. In years past, Bed Races has consisted of teams of five racing one another down the Memorial Walkway in double elimination rounds. However, this year, teams raced against the clock, and the two teams with the best finishing times were awarded prizes. Bea Maloney, ’19, the student spirit chair of the Association of Student Alumni, said the change in racing methods was due to safety concerns. This year’s Bed Races also featured live entertainment between rounds. Maloney said this has never been done before. “We want to get a bunch of peo-ple involved to come and watch the groups, not just to watch the races,” Maloney said. The performing groups includ-ed the Marching 97, the African Renaissance dance crew and two a cappella groups — Off The Record and The Melismatics. By LAURYN RAGONE Associate News Editor For the first time in four years, the Lehigh-Lafayette rivalry game will be hosted at Lafayette’s Fisher Field. This year, Lehigh students will be dropped off and will tail-gate in a new location: Bushkill Commons Parking Lot. Lehigh is providing bus transpor-tation to Lafayette. The buses will arrive at 10 a.m. on Packer Avenue between Webster and Vine Street and will depart from Lehigh at 10:30 a.m. The buses will then arrive at Lafayette at 11 a.m. and will drop students off at the Lehigh tailgate area. More than 2,000 Lehigh students bought tickets to the game. However, only 1,008 bought bus passes. “(Interfraternity) Council presi-dents were not given exact game day rules and regulations until last Monday, Nov. 7, two weeks before the game,” said Mark DiMaggio, the vice president of the Interfraternity Council. Clubs and Greek organizations had the option of renting Lehigh buses, as long as the bus was filled to capacity. Bob Bruneio, the manager of transportation and transit services, said the Lehigh University Police Department will escort the buses to the game until they reach the high-way. Once the buses get off the high-way, the City of Easton Police will assist with the traffic lights until the buses reach the stadium. Student groups also rented their own buses through third-party ven-dors. “Any third-party bus that an IFC or Panhellenic chapter purchased was given the option to be included with the police-escorted bus convoy leaving Packer Avenue Saturday morning,” DiMaggio said. Bruneio said the rental buses run into problems because they will cause blockage on the Lehigh and Lafayette campus. The third-party vendor buses often, “pick groups up randomly over the city, so sometimes buses park in no parking zones, sometimes drop folks off where they shouldn’t be dropped off,” Bruneio said. “They don’t have any logistical informa-tion, and it’s roll the dice where they drop you off.” Bruneio said student groups that want to ride in the caravan can con-tact bus transportation services and See BUSES Page 4 By CATE PETERSON Associate News Editor Lafayette provided Lehigh with an eight-page list of rules regarding different aspects of the rivalry game, including tailgat-ing and cheering in the stadium, for the Rivalry 152 football game Saturday. Lafayette has allocated 40 stu-dent tailgating spots for Lehigh. According to the Lehigh stu-dent tailgating information on Lafayette’s website, Lafayette College’s personal carry limit is defined as (1) six pack of 12 ounce See TAILGATES Page 3 See SPIRIT Page 2 STORM IT AGAIN Lehigh to take on Lafayette in 152nd rivalry game Week of tradition, history defines Lehigh-Laf rivalry
