Dear Folklorists--



I posted the following query to CRTNET, and received in response a

suggestion that perhaps you and the members of WORD-L might have some

helpful insights. As a result, I'm sending my question to both lists.



Some of our grad students are engaged in an ethnographic study of an

expression, "Go Ugly Early," which is widely linked with the undergraduate

social culture here at Purdue. The study began as part of a seminar on

research methods organizational communication, and the assumption was that

the phrase was a local one. We now suspect, however, that it also is alive

and well at other campuses. I volunteered to see if I could find anyone

who was familiar with it via

the Internet.



If you know of any regions or organizations where the phrase, "Go Ugly

Early" is used, I'd very much appreciate hearing from you, and perhaps

asking you a few e-mail questions. Please respond privately to my address

below, since I'm not a member of the list.



Thanks in advance.
