Varsity

The hand-waving accompanying the end of ``Varsity'' began sometime between 1925 and 1937, during the tenure of UW President Glenn Frank. Marching band director Ray Dvorak asked football fans to wave their hats to Frank at the end of the song, as a salute. Frank died, and students don't wear hats as much, but the waving continues. If it confuses visiting fans, well, that's one of the reasons for doing it.
