| − | The ''[[PUK Karnaval]]'' is one of the names by which the annual ''[[Rag]]'' at the [[Potchefstroom Universiteit vir CHO]] ([[PUK]]) was known over the years. Originally known as ''[[Vreugdedag]]'' ("day of joy") it was begun in 1942 as a street parade to counteract political tensions in the town, and became an annual institution till it was stopped in 1964. In 1967 it regained new life in the form of the ''[[carnival|Karnaval]]'' ("carnival") . In 1988 the ''[[Carnival|Karnaval]]'' was once more renamed to now be known as the ''[[Jool]]'', in line with national trends at other [[Afrikaans]] universities. Fundamentally the format and aims remained the same: a street parade for charitable causes combined with student entertainemnet.
