Dear University of Utah Enthusiast, Welcome to the U Book! This book has been constructed as a student resource guide to the University of Utah campus as well as an interactive handbook to the traditions that will help to define your college experience. As members of the Student Alumni Board, we hope you will turn to the U Book often throughout your time at the University to find helpful information and make connections to current students and the alumni who have preceded you. As you participate in the traditions detailed in the U Book, you can become a Tradition Keeper—a “true Ute,” who has taken advantage of the many diverse, enriching opportunities and traditions that the University has to offer.
The purpose of the U Book is two-fold: First, to provide students with a complete guide of University of Utah campus essentials—“everything you need to know” about the U. This section includes University history and yearly highlights, information about campus organizations and student groups, student resources and scholarship information, a campus map and eating guide, and graduation information. This section will also help direct you from your freshman to senior year and help you stay connected to the U after you graduate.
We encourage you to join the ranks as a Tradition Keeper! We are excited to help you generate the experiences that will make your years at the University of Utah memorable.
Go Utah! The Student Alumni Association
T HE UNI V E R SI T Y OF UTAH | U B OOK
Second, to promote University of Utah traditions and build an exciting, enduring campus community. This section includes 50 campus traditions, such as cheering in the Mighty Utah Student Section (THE MUSS), crushing the Cougars during Rivalry Week, hiking to the block U, participating in Muss service projects, and dancing for 26.2 hours in the Rock the U dance marathon. As you complete each tradition, snap a picture of yourself in the act and paste it in the space provided on each tradition page. When you achieve the different levels of Tradition Keeper, bring your U Book to the Alumni House for an award, culminating in a medallion to wear with your cap and gown at graduation.

Through community service, awards, athletics, and student achievement, the University of Utah excelled in many areas during the past year. Here is just a sampling: Athletics U — 10
• The football team recorded their ninth-straight bowl game win defeating the California Golden Bears in the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego. Six Utes were selected in the NFL draft in April. • The gymnastics team reached the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Championship for the 29th straight season. Four gymnasts received All-America recognition.
Faculty, Staff, and Student Awards • Cody Rogers became the fourth consecutive U student to win the Harry S. Truman Scholarship. He was one of only 65 students nationwide to receive the award. • The University of Utah was ranked 1st in the country along with MIT at creating new startups from its research-based inventions. This puts the University of Utah in front of prestigious institutions such as Columbia, Michigan, and Johns Hopkins. (The Association of University Technology Managers, AUTM).

Believe it or not, college isn’t — or shouldn’t be — just about studying. Enrich your experience at the University of Utah by getting involved on campus through a student group, an academic organization, attending athletic or fine arts events, or getting a campus job. Regardless of your interests, you’ll be sure to find something that will boost your resume, give you life experience, allow you to meet new people, and make life at the U more fun and exciting. We’ve broken down some of the major student groups, but a full listing of all groups is available on the Associated Students of the University of Utah website at www.asuu.utah.edu/student_groups.

Today the group has grown to 5,000 members and is sponsored by the Alumni Association. By joining The MUSS, you can get priority seating in the student section for all home games (including BYU games), a MUSS T-shirt, and access to pre-game tailgates and away-game “MUSS Buses.” For more information, visit www.alumni.utah.edu/muss and click on the MUSS portal.

Graduation Information: Many resources are available to assist students with their academic plans for graduation. While graduation may seem far away, it’s best to plan for it sooner than later by becoming familiar with both the University and your major’s graduation requirements. So what steps should you take to ensure that you’re on the right path to graduate in your major of choice in four years?
#1
Become familiar with your DARS report (Degree Audit Report System), a comprehensive outline of all coursework required to graduate with a specific major. Essentially, it first lists all general education requirements that you must fulfill, and then lists all majorspecific requirements that you must satisfy. DARS reports can be handy for both perusing the requirements of possible majors and for keeping track of the specific courses that you still need to take once you declare a major. In order to access a DARS report, you first must create one by logging into Campus Information System (CIS), scrolling down to the “Graduation” section, clicking on “Generate Degree Audit Reports,” and selecting the appropriate major or minor. After creating a DARS report, access it by clicking “View/Delete Your Degree Audit Report(s).” Check your DARS report often to ensure that you are on the correct track to graduate in the time frame that you have established.
#2
Make an appointment to meet with your advisor as soon as possible. This is especially necessary for incoming freshmen, as the advisor will provide a wealth of information (not to mention handouts and forms) that you did not already have. And if you’re not sure yet which major you want to declare, see an advisor anyway! In fact, one of the best reasons to see an advisor is to make inquiries regarding specific majors in order to help you decide on the one that’s right for you. In addition to helping students select majors, advisors also provide detailed information regarding majors and assist students in determining
#3
a time frame in which to complete necessary requirements. Advisors are here specifically to assist students – so use them! You won’t regret it when, unlike your lazy, deadbeat friend, you graduate on time from a department you’ve enjoyed.
Turn in your graduation application! Students sometimes think that graduation entails nothing more than taking the necessary courses(and maybe showing up at commencement). While this is of course the hard part, it’s not the only part. In addition, you must fill out certain forms approximately six months prior to graduation. Check out specific details at the Office of the Registrar’s “Applying for Graduation” webpage: www.sa.utah.edu/regist/graduation/applying.htm.
#4 #5
Plan to attend commencement and convocation, which requires a cap and gown. More information is available at the “Applying for Graduation” website listed above. Stay connected after graduation through the University of Utah Alumni Association. Every graduating senior is eligible to register for a FREE oneyear membership, which offers multiple benefits, including discounts and deals on tickets to athletics, arts, and cultural events on and off campus; a subscription to Continuum, the University’s award-winning magazine; and participation in community service projects, legislative advocacy programs, and alumni chapter events held throughout the country. For more information about membership in the Alumni Association, go to www.alumni.utah.edu.
U — 25
T ake a break after graduation to serve your community and your world. There are plenty of service opportunities that broaden your perspective.
Teach For America – www.teachforamerica.org – This organization recruits the top undergraduate students from colleges throughout the United States to better the world by educating children everywhere. eace Corps – www.peacecorps.org – The corps is your chance to see the P world and add your part in saving it. This experience will give you hands-on expertise in expanding your horizons globally.
Bennion Center Fellowships – www.bennioncenter.org – The BC offers a number of post-graduation fellowships to help you pursue your desired service goals. As the positions are limited, it’s in your best interest to apply early.

U — 34
I am a Utah Man, sir, and I live across the green, Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen. Our coeds are the fairest and each one’s a shining star, Our yell, you’ll hear it ringing through the mountains near and far! CHORUS Who am I, sir, A Utah Man am I! A Utah Man, sir, Will be ‘til I die. Ki-yi! We’re up to snuff, we never bluff, we’re game for any fuss. No other gang of college men dare meet us in a muss. So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky, We’ll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah Man am I! Ki-yi!
VERSE And when we prom the avenue, All lined up in a row, and arm in arm, And step in time as down the street we go. No matter if a freshman green, or in a senior’s gown, the people all admit we are the warmest gang in town.
CHORUS VERSE We may not live forever on this jolly good sphere, But while we do we’ll live a life of merriment and cheer, And when our college days are o’er and night is drawing nigh, With parting breath we’ll sing that song: “A Utah Man Am I.” GO UTES!
MUSS TRADITIONS 3rd Down Jump: Third downs are critical, especially in close games. To make things as difficult as possible for the opposing team, the 5,000 students in The Muss jump up and down while shouting at the top of their lungs anytime it’s a 3rd down, creating noise so deafening that opposing players can’t hear their own snap count, often leading to penalties. 1st Down Signal: Whenever the Utes get a first down, The Muss comes together in unison to help the officials signal the first down, raising their hands and voices before making the signal while shouting “First Down.” False Start Tally: Whenever the opposing team receives a false start penalty The MUSS hangs a ‘five’ in front of the student section indicating the five-yard penalty. There is a running total for the entire season and a line of “fives” will always be in front of The MUSS section.

... g r e n i v l O w o B Them Utah’s Nation-Leading, Bowl-Winning Streak Reaches Nine
U — 36
After erasing an early 14-0 deficit, Utah rallied behind freshman QB Jordan Wynn for an impressive 37-27 win over Cal in last December’s Maaco Poinsettia Bowl. The victory over the PAC-10’s Golden Bears was Utah’s ninth straight bowl game win, starting with a 17-16 victory over Fresno State in the 1999 Las Vegas Bowl. A few days later, USC would knock off Boston College 24-13 in the Emerald Bowl, stopping the Golden Eagles’ nine-game bowl winning streak, making Utah’s the longest current streak in the country. The streak also represents the second longest in history next to Florida State’s record of 11. Utah’s streak has been led by three head coaches, Ron McBride (2-0), Urban Meyer (2-0), and current Head Coach Kyle Whittingham (5-0). The Utes’ bowl streak includes wins in two BCS bowls (2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and 2009 Allstate Sugar Bowl) and victories against five BCS schools (Alabama, Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh, USC, and Cal). Utah’s stunning 31-17 victory over Alabama in the 2009 Allstate Sugar Bowl remains the biggest win by a non-BCS conference team in a BCS bowl game. Utah is the only non-BCS team to win two BCS bowl games over BCS conference opponents, defeating Pittsburgh in the 2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl 35-7, in addition to the win over Alabama.

Requirements and Instructions: In the following pages you will find a collection of 50 traditions encompassing many of the places, annual events, and unique bits of history that make the U the incredible university that it is. It is these and other traditions that give the U its rich history and help foster the kind of pride that sticks with you as an alumnus/a long after graduation. There is also room to include traditions of your own, specific things that have made the U special for you. To fulfill the traditions, all you have to do is follow the examples in the photos and directions in the captions on the tradition pages, visit the place or participate in the event, and snap a photo that clearly shows you doing it. Simple as that! Fulfill traditions to become a University of Utah Tradition Keeper.
What is a Tradition Keeper? Tradition Keepers are especially involved students who are interested in making the most of their college experiences by immersing themselves in the rich history of traditions at the U. You become a Tradition Keeper as soon as you fulfill your first U Book tradition. Fulfilling more traditions allows you to reach the various “levels� of Tradition Keeping (something akin to karate belts). Each level is accompanied by a lapel pin, medallion, or similar award, marking you as an accomplished Tradition Keeper. The various levels are: Level 1: 25 Traditions (White Pin) Level 2: 35 Traditions (Red Pin and preceding award) Level 3: 45 Traditions (Pure Crimson Medallion and preceding awards) Level 4: All 50 Traditions (Recognition at an annual event at the Alumni House and preceding awards.)
What do I do when I’m done or achieve a level? Every time that you complete a level (or complete all of the traditions), simply bring your tradition section to the Alumni House to have it verified and to receive your award. For graduating seniors, the commencement tradition can be fulfilled by bringing proof of pending graduation with you when you turn it in. Once your Tradition Keeping status has been checked off, you will be contacted by the Alumni Association to get your TK reward. For those of you who achieve or plan to achieve all 50 traditions, make sure that you turn in your book by April 1st of your senior year so that you can be included in the annual TK event at the Alumni House and have your awards in time to wear them at commencement.

For the Halloween game, MUSS members created their own version of the Raiders’ “black hole.” Whether you’re in The MUSS or just somewhere in the stands, put on your black Utah garb, wigs, hats, and face paint and become part of the blackout!

Rivalry for Food Donate to the Utah v. BYU Rivalry Week Food Drive U — 48
Every year the football season hits its climax with the always-intense grudge match between Utah and BYU in late November. Since the game is so close to Thanksgiving, we play off of the rivalry with the year’s biggest food and money drive for the Utah Food Bank. Led by the Student Alumni Association, the food drive brings together multiple campus groups and community businesses and organizations to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds of food and tens of thousands of dollars. And since BYU participates in its own half of the competition, it gives us another opportunity to hand them a U-branded beat down.

Give blood in the rivalry blood drive The annual blood drive pits students at the U against those at Utah State, our rival to the north. By participating, you not only provide blood for someone else, you also help build U spirit and maintain our dominance over our rivals in all things competitive. The competition is heated, with each school taking its share of victories over the past few years, but the end result is always a much needed service that benefits the community in a vital way. ARUP, the organization in charge of blood donation in the Salt Lake area, puts on numerous events and gives out free T-shirts as part of the weeklong contest. Look for ARUP elsewhere on campus at various times throughout the school year to find other opportunities to donate.

Turn the Mountain Red Ski ' n Shred in Red Day
Everyone knows that Utah is home to the greatest snow on earth. But what you may not know yet is that the University of Utah is home to the best and most spirited skiers and snowboarders, too. It only makes sense, then, that our world-famous slopes and our world-class university’s folks share a day – which they do! One day each year, Utah pride rules the peaks thanks to skiers and snowboarders dressing entirely in red. Known as “Ski ’n Shred in Red,” this annual tradition at Snowbird Mountain Resort should never be missed. After all, you know you’re going to hit the slopes anyhow. Might as well do it on the day when all current University of Utah students, faculty, staff, and alumni members receive a steal of a deal on lift tickets. Keep an eye out for more information in December!

Who Are Your Leaders? Cast your vote in the ASUU elections
Each semester, students pay more than $20 in fees to the Associated Students of the University of Utah (ASUU), the U’s student government. Every spring, ASUU holds its annual elections, and students have a chance to evaluate the different people vying to lead student government and handle the $1.4 million ASUU budget. Become informed about the individuals you want spending your money by attending one of the several presidential debates during the spring campaigns. Ask questions, mingle with candidates, and be a part of the process. With a small turnout in ASUU elections, every vote counts. Voting is as easy as logging on to your Campus Information System through the University’s website. During the campaign, rival parties will be handing out T-shirts and free food on the Marriott Library plaza and in other heavy-traffic areas. Repay them with a vote and invest yourself in the process.

Put on your dancing shoes and get ready to stay on your feet for 26.2 hours at the Rock the U dance marathon, an event sponsored by the Associated Students of the University of Utah to raise money for cancer research at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Students raise at least $50 to dance in the marathon, which, along with corporate donations, brought in more than $75,000 for the HCI in 2009—the third year of the event. Rock the U includes themed dances, concerts and performances, games, prizes, food, and a line dance learned in pieces throughout the event. Come to honor someone you know who has been touched by cancer or just come to support the cause. Students can participate as dancers, volunteers, or morale-boosters.

In 2006, the block U was completely rebuilt and fitted with white and crimson lights. When an athletic event is underway, the U shines white.

While snapping a picture with him is certainly one of the more difficult traditions to obtain, it’s by no means impossible. Just a hint: the more noise you’re making at a rally or game, the more likely he’ll be to find you! Moreover, hawks are known for rewarding their comrades, so it’s not uncommon that he’ll have a few t-shirts or goodies hidden away in his feathers for the folks he hears cheer....

Get to know the U’s military history by visiting Fort Douglas, located in upper campus just above the Legacy Bridge. The Fort was first established as Camp Douglas in 1863 to guard the overland mail route during the Civil War and was later used to house Teddy Roosevelt’s buffalo soldiers, who fought with the Rough Riders on San Juan Hill. During World War I, the Fort housed prisoners of war, and more than 56,000 inductees were trained here during World War II. The 51-acre land plot was turned over to the University in 1951, and in 1992, the U gained 12 more acres. Prior to hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics, the U renovated 26 buildings in Fort Douglas to be used for the Olympic Village, which now serves as student housing. Visit the Fort Douglas museum, throw a frisbee on Stillwell Field, catch a movie at the old-school Post Theater, or visit a friend in the dorms.
