Spring Riot has been held on the South Quad of campus on (ho first warm Thursday night following spring vacation. Hold- ing with tradition, a bonfire is built in front of Old Kenyon and each student is invited lo contribute an item to the sacrificial flames. Students have been known to take out nu- merous frustrations al this lime by throwing old furniture, refrigerators, books, newpapers (Wall Slteel Journals are a big favorite), and even comps into the blazing fire. According to the Kenyon archives. Spring Riot traditionally calleri for the use of various problem by warning students not to bring fire- work» kick to school after spring break. Now Spring Riot has evolved into Kenyon’s peaceful nte of passage into spring. The fneully regards the entire event as a healthy means of re- leasing tension for the students. Jenny Rots i«
