Someone should upload a picture of "the fence". Great tradition. Robert Brockway 17:16, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Did someone from Student Activities suggest Fiesta di Primavera as a tradition? It is fairly lame and has only been running for a few years. I wasn't even in KGB and I think Capture the Flag with Stuff is a bigger tradition. TBA was a big tradition as well, if they are still doing it. How about riding office chairs down Baker Hall? Or Primal Scream?

I have some pictures of The Fence I'd be willing to license to Wikipedia. I'll get working on that in a couple days. Capture the Flag with Stuff and TBA are also both on-going, as well as "chairing" down Baker. Don't know what Primal Scream is... but I presume I'll be finding out eventually. --128.237.232.22 06:21, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Paring the "fence"[edit]

One summer, back in the early 1980s, I recall seeing a grounds maintenance crew grinding paint off of the fence rails to restore them to a square profile and, to maintain a reasonably fence-like appearance. (I don't remember whether they ground down the posts as well, but I'm thinking maybe not.) Today (Fall of 2021) there is almost no gap remaining between the "rails." Within another couple of years, it won't be a fence anymore, it will be a "wall." It will be a solid slab of paint with a steel core.

The article says, the old wooden rails collapsed in 1993. I suppose that the summertime maintenance must have been stopped before then. Does anybody know why it stopped or when?
