The UC Rally Committee, keeper of many beloved Cal traditions, is celebrating its 100th birthday this year. The group has a rich history on campus and has worked diligently for the past century to keep the flames of Berkeley's spirit burning bright. When it comes to sports, there are no greater fans than the Rally Committee members.
Devoted members sleep with it in the days before the game to guard it from theft.
In the beginning, the group's sole responsibility was organizing rallies. But in 1927, the committee, the oldest ASUC-funded group on campus, was made the official guardian of all campus traditions. And there are a lot to keep track of. Many died out long ago, as times and tastes changed. But others continue into the 21st century.
