Spring Break
Undie run brings stress relief, benefits charity

But as 11:50 p.m. drew near Friday night, people started showing up at the Lory Student Center in droves. It would only be a matter of minutes before a little over 400 men and women clad only in their underwear were joking and laughing, chanting and screaming in front of the LSC, ready to make a run for it.
Friday marked CSU's first-ever Undie Run, organized by a CSU student on Facebook to bring this time-honored finals-stress-relieving college tradition home to the university.
Josh Heuerman, a freshman open option major and the organizer of the event,said students push themselves so hard toward the end of the year, and they need a break from the stress and monotony.
"(Students) study so much, and there's so much stress at college - they need a break, they need something to lighten the mood," Heuerman said. "This is something that does that."
The infectious energy pulsing through the crowd only seemed to grow in anticipation of the run around the north end of campus. It died every now and then to nervous chatter, only to resurge with every new group arrival and chant of "CSU, undie run!" and "I'm proud to be a CSU Ram!"
With a look of determination and intensity, Jeff Garkow, a sophomore history major, summed up his outlook on running around campus in his briefs with just four words.
"I welcome the challenge," he said.
The pile of discarded clothes the students gathered around steadily built up to a three-foot mountain, with garments constantly flying through the air from random directions.
But it wasn't just an excuse for students to run around in their underwear or blow off some steam before finals week.
Participants were encouraged to bring clothes that they wanted to donate to GoodWill.

Sounds like fun. We did the same thing in our day only sans undies. LOL!
We also used to have pantie raids of the girls dorms. You would race through the girls dorm ( remember this was a religious University so girls and boys had separate dorms ) and swipe a pair of panties from their drawers , and race back to the dorm. (Continued…)

Obviously you are ignorant of reality again. This is the same person posting the other Craig Hawley nicks and failing miserably.
When will you learn that you are not the voice of CSU. (Continued…)

Another exercise in futility brought to you by an anonymous coward hiding behind their NICK.
Enjoy wasting your time.

I don't buy for a second that you actually went to college, fella.
I vote...AGAINST CRAIG. Why don't you start your own blog instead of forcing us to wade through your drivel? Then you can see how many fans you really have. (Continued…)

Craig Hawley is a tard. OH man what a pithy comment. To bad you are the same person using another Craig Hawley Nick.
It must really hurt to have to re-post under another nick because no one wanted to waste their time playing your Craig Hawley game when they know it won't do a dam thing to keep me from posting. (Continued…)

You know what, I retract that previous statement, I am completely wrong.
I have no life and no friends, I was just lying. I am such a sad and lonely person, I was just reaching out to a younger generation, in hopes that I might find some kind of acceptance. (Continued…)

I posted as "Craig Hawley is a Tard" before...and I'm not the same person posting under other "Craig Hawley is..." aliases.
Craig, you know you've made it in life when it has become a topic of conversation what a deuche you are on a college campus 1200 miles away from you. (Continued…)
