"Howdy" says Jane Webb to Mary Pardue. The two were total strangers until they chanced to meet
on "Hello Walk." The two signs, placed at either end of the path from the Ad Building to Fraxee Hall,
have been mistaken by several students who were unable to read for "no parking" signs. The walk originated by SGA to promote friendship among students and as a revival of tradition en the campus.
