| dc.description.abstract | The history of the YSU Rock is part of the School Traditions display. "Tradition Rock" is a glacial boulder that was excavated during the construction of Kilcawley Center in 1966. The Student Government requested that it be kept on campus and it was placed on the amphitheater side of the building, where students walk by it everyday. In 1967, The Jambar's Ben Hayek lamented that Tradition Rock in fact represented no tradition at all and was simply being ignored by the campus community. One week later, in the dead of night, members of a fraternity painted the boulder. This act of apparent vandalism heralded the beginning of a new tradition: painting the rock. The rock has been painted for over 30 years for various reasons. While Tradition Rock has been moved twice since its first coat of paint, students still use it to advertise their organization, a special event, or point of view. | en_US |
