The crowd gets excited about Traffic Safety Friday because it offers a chance to spend the day with friends and make passersby smile. Sophomore Ben Hauser, who lives at the Traffic Safety House, loves the large number of parents and Bloomington residents who get excited to see the students outside. "It's a blast," says junior Aaron Cox. Sophomores Trey Richardson and Nick Maloy and junior Zach Robinson hang out with Hauser and Cox on April 9. Hauser pumps his fists after a car honks at the crowd. Steph Aaronson
