Over the years, there have been a few comments (in other topics) about a pair of round accessories that were placed at the base of the Belk Tower. One referenced that it was done during Homecoming Week in the 1980s.
I have scoured the inter-webs seeking a photo of this occasion, but have been unsuccessful. Is there any photographic proof?
Need to contact University Archives and /or student newspaper.

Perfect! Thanks!
Found this in the Rogues N Rascals year book from 1981. The “Wisconsin-Superior” helped my search query.
Well done, NNN!
Telling my age but I remember seeing that my sophomore year.
Chapel Hill Phil’s last middle finger to our college!!
It’s gone.
The last? Shit. That was only halfway through his tenure. I’m thinking the whole “Charlotte doesn’t need a Med School/check out our women’s soccer attendance” defense was nearer the end.
Yep, it was basically a giant phallic symbol but it was OUR giant phallic symbol!
Was this before Hornets coach Dick Harter?
