The girls used to walk on separately from the men too.
Ah the good old days.

Stop the Presses! Dance Fever to Hit Baylor April 18
April 4, 1996
WACO, Texas-The Berlin Wall has fallen, Big Macs have invaded Russia, and there are lights at Wrigley Field.
Mankind’s last great resistance is about to be history:
There will be dancing at Baylor University.
It’s true. Boogie Fever has hit Waco.
The ‘D’ word will no longer be taboo at the world’s largest Baptist university. The first official dance will be held at 8 p.m. Thursday, April 18, on Fifth Street in the middle of campus. The dance will wrap up “Diadeloso,” which is Spanish for “Day of the Bear,” and a student holiday held each spring featuring games and activities.
Baylor President Robert B. Sloan Jr., a Baylor graduate and an ordained Baptist minister who has preached throughout the world, and his wife, Sue, also a Baylor grad, will perform the first dance.
The heavens will not shake, but it will be an historic time for Baylor and Baptists everywhere.
“Students have said for many years that they should be allowed to dance on campus,” said Sloan, who became Baylor president June 1, 1995.
