During finals week, UCLA students would wait until about midnight. Then, one by one, they would each open their windows and start to scream. It was a great stress reliever, from all the quiet time during the day. The entire campus was to have silent time for a week during the finals period, except for a two hour reprieve.
One morning during the winter final period, in 1991, the student newspaper read: "Co-ed raped during midnight yell." It told of how one of the ladies was viciously raped during the midnight scream two nights before, and no one cared about her screams for help because everyone thought she was just fooling around, letting off stress, like everyone else. To this day, anyone screaming unnecessarily during finals week at UCLA is subject to explusion from campus.
