Cockfest was founded in the Spring of 1970 by Ed Craig of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. Craig wanted to create an event that would recognize his fraternity. Hawes agrees that putting on Cockfest is "a lot of fun and builds brotherhood." Cockfest is designed to provide family entertainment in the spirit of USC football. Admission is kept low, allowing the entire community the chance to attend. A goal of the first Cockfest committee was to encourage all fans to attend, especially if they were not able to attend the game. While fireworks have been a traditional part of the pep rally, one year Cockfest featured a laser show instead. A few over-anxious members of the Cockfest committee flipped the wrong switch and $10,000 worth of laser equipment melted instantly. 1*25 Fu Sculptu, (Regul v Full Servici with Student ID e Tues?Fri. 91332 Main St. Su coming dy >n %eed & znCey L, RotHsttin id by student activities fees CA x>mings In 1976 when the Charlie Daniels Band was scheduled to perform, there was a record rain fall that left the astro turf in Williams twice siaaium waisi ueep in waici, Dean of Student Life Jerry T.
