Primal Scream

At 10:00 p.m. the night before finals start, Carleton students lean out their windows and let out a collective unearthly wail of anguish and despair. Then they go back to studying.

    My favorite tradition is the "Primal Scream." At 10:00pm the night before finals starts, everybody is supposed to stick their heads out the windows and scream at the top of their lungs. It's quite bone-chilling. Froshies, remember to scream the night before finals! Keep the dream alive!
