by Salisbury University Students (1992)
1 folder (0.1 linear feet)
In 1992, former Salisbury University students Robert Seubert and Mark McClatchey collected folk material. Their collection focuses on the folklore associated with the Salisbury Rugby parties. The first part of their paper describes a typical Salisbury Rugby party after a game. Dancing naked, pissing on others and pulling a prank on new recruits by adding urine to their drink are some of the rather objectionable rites they indulged into. Then, it continues with the interviews of new boys and old boys of the team, sharing their memories and experiences at these parties. All in all, nobody seems to be really bothered by the obscenity because " that's part of it." Tape enclosed.
