Bonfire forum discusses alternatives

Posted Feb 8, 2010
Students proposed two alternatives to the student-generated bonfires that erupt following important basketball wins. Jones presented an idea to supply the crowds with beach balls and DJs on rooftops. The other was a proposal for a bonfire to be organized by the town. Jones said things like beach balls and a DJ would occupy students and prevent them from starting fires out of boredom. “We can have a rave mob like Oprah,” she said. (Daily Tar Heel)
