Tradition of the fifth?

By Defne Gunay | November 10, 2004

Since the football team's 16-0 win over Maryland last weekend, the University has been preparing itself for the team's upcoming game against Miami on Saturday -- the last home game of the season. Although a general feeling of excitement dominates Grounds, students said they are also concerned about the last home football game because of the tradition of "the fourth-year fifth," during which fourth-year students attempt to consume a fifth of alcohol or approximately 17 shots. "I personally am so excited for the game this Saturday," second-year College student Yasemin Erseven said.

Bowtie controversy

By Demetra Karamanos | November 4, 2004

They can be polka dotted or striped, they can be Vineyard Vines style with little mermaids or fish or boats or four leaf clovers, or whales or anything for that matter. They can be preppy or academic, hilarious or serious, and they can be really snazzy (that's the weirdest word ever... snazzy?). I first came across bowties when I was a wee little one and it was my brother's first day of kindergarten.
