Liz Evison '10 says:
I have participated in a bunch of Carleton traditions, and I'm not done yet. I've gone traying down Bell Field and played with Toff, the campus cat, but by far the most exciting was when my friends got the bust of Schiller and I was there to scheme with them at 3:00 a.m. about how to show it next. -
Margaret Taylor '10 says:
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! -
Julia Busiek '09 says:
My comps [senior comprehensive project] topic will probably examine the impact of China's invasion and occupation on the religious, ethnic, and political lives of Tibetans. From here the topic seems dauntingly large and complex, and I'm curious to see where my interests and previous study will take me within it. For my Environmental Studies capstone project I want to look at land management in National Parks. The relationship between conservation, preservation, and fair access to our Parks is really engaging, and I want to think more about ways in which they can all interact, rather than being mutually exclusive aims. -
What Carleton traditions have you participated in? Any favorites? Chase Kimball '10 says:Silent Dance Party is one of my favorites. -
Claire Weinberg '12 says:I’ve seen Schiller (or at least the backs of the masked people running away with Schiller) twice, and that’s always a lot of fun, with everyone jumping up and trying like crazy to catch a glimpse of him. -
What Carleton traditions have you participated in? Any favorites? Collin Hazlett '12 says:I recently went to Dacie Moses House. It was incredible. One day, I hope to have Schiller. -
What Carleton traditions have you participated in? Any favorites? Julia Busiek '09 says:In no particular order of preference: Freshman Frisbee toss, Rotblatt, Spring Concert, Halloween concert, blowing bubbles on faculty during opening convo, Late Night Breakfast and the attendant Primal Scream, chasing Schiller into a crowd of brawling Carls, Reunion, Mai Fete, and, as much as the administration may try to gloss over this, there is still a proud core of streakers on campus that I have joined once or twice. -
