| − | The tradition of a street parade with floats by students of [[Stellenbosch University]] began in 1953, and was initially called a ''[[Jool]]'' or ''[[US Jool]]'' ("[[Rag]]" or "US Rag"). This practice was discontinued in in 1959. In 1965 it was resumed, but now called a [[Karnaval]] ("carnival").

| − | Besides a street parade and floats, the [[US Karnaval]] also includes the popular ''[[Vensters]]'' ("Windows") competition, which is a rather interesting event preceding the parade, where the University residences decorate the windows of the buildings, and - using the decorated façade as décor - put on a theme-based performance with the new students, on the grounds in front of the residence. The main road through the campus is closed for the evening and the public can wander through to view the various "stages" and "performances". The best [[performance]] is judged by a panel of students and staff.
