Things remembered from slams gone by
1983 First Ham Slam atop the Butt Hut
1984 To be revealed at a later date. Acutally if you were there and know what happened, let me know.
1985 Location: on original butt hut at 2400 Pearl (just behind what is now the House of Tutors sign)
Events: as a random fraternity history lesson for a 45 man pl--er, associate member class.
Instruction provided by Brad Davis and Tom Truelson.
(Today History lesson brought to you by Rob Goodson)
1986 Location: out back (on the relocated butt-hut or deck) of wooden house next to Tri towers.
Events: Fraternity looking for direction and attentioan after losing house at 2400
Pearl, yet still with a large membership. Ideas for parties bounced around. One guy said he
had friend in T-shirt business who could make shirts for 11-11. It could be a big party.
Shirts were rudimentary, black and white (now a collector's item). Party was a huge
success. Chapter president was proved correct when he stated "We will rock and others
will want to rock with us!"
(As reported by the only eye-witness not in the witness protection program, Rob Goodson)
1987 Location: out back of wooden house next to Tri Towers (University Towers?)
Events: The t-shirts were upgraded. The was advertised tothe entire campus.
Eyewitness accounts indicate that in excess of 2,000 people (not all at once) passed
through the driveway entrance that night. Wall to wall people.
Approximately 40 kegs were drained in the span of about three hours.
The celebration of randomness becomes firmly entrenched as an annual event that
is relatively well known around campus as "that big random party".
Police come. Officers run and hide. The beer ran out anyway.
