The Springfest riot is not specific to JMU alone. College campuses across the country have experienced similar civil unrest of that magnitude. Some say the incident may have been caused by a number of different psy- chological factors. JMU psychology professor Ulas Kaplan and her student research group discussed the possibility that participants' thoughts spread across the entire group through a process known as “groupthink” that often contributes to irrational ideas. When that happens, “personal identities lose their influence, and a collective identity dominates individual experience through an emo- tional calculus often based on instincts and impulses,” Kaplan said. One student who lives in Forest Hills Manor said that she doesn't think the majority of participants would have decided to cause damage to the neighborhood without someone initiating it. “Most of those kids would not have thrown a bottle through my win- dows if others had not started it,” the student said. “However, once it started and [was] deemed ‘cool and acceptable,’ other people joined in.” Last April, the University of Minnesota's Spring Jam 2009, a six- day celebration similar to Springfest, escalated into a riot when approximately 500 attendees reeked havoc on the town when they “lit fires, tore down street signs, and attempted to flip cars,” according to the university's newspaper, The Minnesota Daily. Of the 12 people were arrested, five were students. As with JMU, police used tear gas to break up the scene. JMU sociology professor Stephen Poulson said location played a large factor in how the riot occurred. With much of JMU’s student housing located along Port Republic Road, and the road's close proximity to Interstate 81, college students from a variety of universities found it easy to congregate at the celebration. Poulson also believes that social networking sites played a role in the volume of people present. It wouldn't be the first time a party grew out of control via Internet communication, he said. On Saturday, April 4, 2009, the law enforcement at Isla Vista Beach near the University of California, Santa Barbara issued almost 70 citations and faced 13 medical emergencies at Floatopia, a 12,000- person beach party held annually, according to the university's newspaper, The Daily Nexus. The Isla Vista Foot Patrol believed that the large number of partygoers was “a product of Facebook planning,” that quickly turned into a “half-mile long beach party.”
