Jousting in White Plaza
Stanford has an annual contest to be crowned the new tree, or mascot. To get the honor of being the big green thing, contestants do crazy stunts in an effort to sway the voters (the band and past trees). Potential Trees have been shot out of cannons, had operations done, been fired at, etc. Today, one tree hopeful organized a bicycle jousting tournament in White Plaza. The contestants donned pillow and cardboard armor, took their jousting arms in hand, and biked at top speed towards each other. Often, the collision was the bikes with each other, as opposed to the weapon with a contestant. Unfortunatly, there didn't seem to be any broken bones or bloodied lips, but there were a few collisions you could hear from a few hundred feet away.
