Today the BSU Daily News released its Best of Ball State 2007 list. The list compiles students favorites in categories such as Fraternities and Sororities, off-campus living, classes, and professors. Also included in the list was the award for the most recognizable campus icon. With the long list of distinguished alumni that BSU claims, one would expect this award to be given to the likes of David Letterman or Jim Davis. Instead this year’s “Campus Icon” award was given to none other than the infamous Happy Friday Guy.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Happy Friday Guy (pictured above). He can be described as a man in a cape, karate helmet, goggles and knee pads and can be found riding up and down McKinley on a motorized scooter around noon every single Friday. The man is a legend. His fan base is immense! His facebook group is now over 5,000 strong. He has t-shirts, videos, and even his own blog! To learn more you can check out a documentary chronicling his endeavors at Youtube.
Congratulations Happy Friday Guy!

This is what it’s all about – doing some whatever it is – to others than your self or as we say it “to do good-feels good”…. I don’t know if this is still going on but this is actually some we would be very interesting in sponsoring if it was posible.
