Yesterday (Wednesday, Dec. 1), the UCLA Bruins held their annual beat ‘sc bonfire. The bonfire is a burning of all things Trojan. The students at UCLA brought their old red shirts to burn. Any student who brought a red shirt was given a free blue one. The bonfire was held at Wilson Plaza at UCLA.
The great rivalry between the two schools has resulted in major pranks. The students at UCLA have been taking turns guarding the massive Grizzly Bear statue. This year, however, they failed to protect it enough. The bear was painted red and the surrounding fountains were spewing red dye.

Ah…. such a great rivalry and tradition! I remember each year this time at USC when Tommy Trojan, the bronze statue at the center of campus, was wrapped in duct tape to protect him from nefarious Bruin pranksters. Let’s hope the rivalry doesn’t get out of hand and destructive to both campuses. The hard hits can come tomorrow on the football field. FIGHT ON!!
I thought the Grizzly was on the endangered species list. Shouldnt our government work harder to protect them?
