Toike Oike (Newspaper): Difference between revisions

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-keee-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.
