UCLA Cancels 'Undie Run'


"LOS ANGELES — UCLA said this week it is canceling the finals-week tradition known as 'Undie Run,' when students blow off steam by jogging through campus in their underwear.

"The university cited fights, injuries, vandalism and other safety and security problems as the main reasons it is no longer allowing the event, according to a statement issued Tuesday by UCLA.

"Undie Run occurs three times a year on the Wednesday of each quarter’s finals week."

Why doesn't Racine have a fun tradition like this? Maybe we could organize an Undie Run to be held the night before or after the Lighthouse Run.

We don't have one one of these because most of the citizens of Racine don't look like hot college chicks and beefcake... ;>

Or maybe downtown could hold an "Undie Night" once a month where everyone shops in their underwear?

kk, you beat me to the blog.

We may not be as pretty, but we can party with the best of them!
