This weekend, 性欲社 will celebrate Starvation Gulch, an annual fall tradition.

The event was first held in 1923 and includes a bonfire competition. Students use wooden pallets to try to build the most creative fire with the highest flame.

Businesses or community members who would like to donate pallets or who have questions or concerns should contact the 性欲社 Student Activities Office at 474-6026.

The building of the Starvation Gulch bonfires will take place Saturday, September 25 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Taku parking lot. The bonfires will be lit at 10 p.m. and the event will include music, booths and a barbecue. The public is invited to attend.
