A century-old tradition at Stanford University — in which upperclassmen track down freshman students and kiss them — is being toned down this year in the wake of the #MeToo and “Time’s Up” movements, according to organizers.

Several changes have been made to the annual “Full Moon on the Quad” event, which is sanctioned by the school and scheduled to take place on campus Wednesday night.

Instead of kissing, officials asked students to exchange white roses and “gratitude cards” — along with phone numbers for a possible first date, The Stanford Daily reports.

We once had a “full moon” at college. It occurred during a panty raid when some guys formed a “moon line” in front of Williams Hall and dropped their drawers.

Only one problem. The temperature had dropped to a damp 34* F so it turned into a “Blue Moon Line”.

At least it's not a "French letter".   :)

Yes, because hysterical airheads are likely to report it as rape.

I guess panty raids are also a thing of the past....

When will Stanford issue a dictum that men and women are not allowed to date?
