1(nigfits Jousting Toward Unity For Knights social club, pledge week is a time for fun, friendship, and the re-newing of the club traditions. One such tradition is the silly day extravaganza known as the joust. The joust consists of a series of friendly battles among the club's pledges, known as squires. Squires, decked out in cardboard suits of armor, are paired, and face off against each other with lances doused in shaving cream. Judges preside alongside the participants to determine which squire has better "creamed" his opponent. The jousting proceeds as a singleelimination tournament until only two squires remain to square off, and a new club champion is named. Once this is achieved, the new champion is asked to try his hand against the champion from the previous year who, being a Knight, always is victorious. This year, in the tradition, each squire was asked to bring a "fair maiden" in order to valiantly defend her honor in battle. However, hundreds of other people stopped by to enjoy what has become not only a Knightly tradition, but also a Harding one. According to Jim WeJJs, Knights' member, "This year's joust saw the beginning of some new traditions and was really well put-together." Brad Ramsey, a squire this year, added, "The joust seemed to be the event that begins to bring the squires all together as a united group." Indeed, the joust was truly indicative of the fun and Christian fellowship shared by the close-knit men of Knights. + - Kirk Hollis GUT FEELING. Squire Brad Ramsey takes a punch during the joust.
