344:, according to legend, was to be used for construction of the oldest building on campus, Old Main, which was under construction from 1873 to 1875. Limestone was used for the lintels over windows, among other places. One of the large pieces of limestone being hauled by oxcart to the building site of Old Main slipped off the cart, landing on the ground in front of the building site, and it was left there after cleanup. During the 1880s, the university's authorities forbade the male and female students from being together at most times, requiring them to sit on opposite sides of a classroom, line up on opposite sides of the hallways and avoid each other in social situations. The Spoofer's Stone became a location for lovers to leave notes for one another. Later it became a popular location for men to propose marriage to women. The stone's ragged appearance is due to the tradition of breaking off a piece of the stone after a proposal, a practice which has been forbidden. The origin of the name "Spoofer" or who Spoofer was, is unknown. On Tuesday February 25, 2020 the stone was heavily damaged in a construction related accident. In the accident the stone was broken into several pieces. The University of Arkansas announced the damage on Facebook, but also stated that the plaque on the stone and a large portion that the plaque was attached to remain intact. The University said at the time that plans were already being discussed to restore the monument. 68: 125:, (sometimes referred to simply as the union) is at the center of campus and student life.
