The origin of the meaning of "Toike Oike" has been lost in time. One popular theory states that in the early days of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, there was a caretaker named Graham who worked in the [[Little Red Skulehouse]] and had a thick Irish accent. This caretaker was fond of telling students, who would work until late hours in the lab, to "take a hike" when the building closed every night, but because of his accent the phrase was heard as "toy-kee-oyk". When it came time to establish a new [[Skule Yell]], the students decided to incorporated this phrase into it, and later to use it as the name of the original engineering newspaper. | The origin of the meaning of "Toike Oike" has been lost in time.

To “Toike a door” is to craftily prop it open such that all your friends may pass through it at any hour. The most skilled Toikers are able to achieve such a feat using only one leaf of print, ideally the cover and back. In doing so, the cunning Engineer displays Skills of: | |||
* Ingenuity, in using Minimal Materials to Fulfill their Task | |||
* Communication, in Marking the Toiked door from afar with the Distinctive cover | |||
* Community, in Allowing all to Enter the Halls where they are | |||
In past years, the tradition of "Toiking" was a popular use of the Toike Oike newspaper. It was a form of "involuntary make-up application", where the back page of an issue of the Toike is rubbed vigorously against the face of a person. The back page always contains content printed almost entirely with black ink (covering the entire page) so that upon completing the action described, the person being Toiked is left with black ink residue all over their face. However, this look is not a source of shame, and many students who have been Toiked choose to proudly wear this new look for at least some time before heading to a bathroom to scrub the ink off. | |||

The following is an excerpt from a 1930 Toike Oike, and it depicts some practices, traditions, and prejudices which were once commonplace in Engineering culture. Such activities were wrong then, and are wrong today. | |||
<p>We regret the fact that contrary to our own desires we have been obliged to make known to the public the complete procedure to be adopted during the initiation ceremony of Thursday evening. Owing to the timidity with which some of the Freshmen are approaching the event, the Council on Initiation Affairs deemed it advisable that the following be published. Except for a few minor, and as yet tentative details, this is a true declaration of the manner in which the initiation will be conducted. | <p>We regret the fact that contrary to our own desires we have been obliged to make known to the public the complete procedure to be adopted during the initiation ceremony of Thursday evening.
