Universe reporter, Fall 2017

A new event called “Honor Day” will be introduced to BYU campus this year. 

Students can be a part of one of BYU’s oldest traditions on Oct. 3 with Hike and Light the Y. The first 800 students get a free mini-lantern and free shuttle service is available from the east law school parking lot to the trailhead. The hike begins at 6 p.m.

True Blue Foam, similar to a Slip ‘n Slide with blue foam instead of water, takes place on Oct. 4 from 4-6 p.m. at the Helaman field. Hunt said new tarps have been bought for the event.
