Upfront, I'm not against Ring Dance existing or women making the choice to participate. I encourage those who feel that the evening means something to them to show up, if they can. They should be able to attend wearing whatever color dress, or even suit, they want. They should be able to choose who, if anyone, will walk them down the now infamous flight of stairs. (Yes, this is me throwing my hat in the ring after this weekend’s controversy with the new ceremony rules).

We all learned this rule in kindergarten: Don’t put your hands on other people without their permission. It seems that our administrators forgot this lesson Saturday night at Ring Dance when the deans and policemen crossed the line from strongly encouraging against to physically restraining escorts from walking down The Jefferson Hotel’s historic flight of stairs with junior women.

Security at Ring Dance this year will be tighter than in the past because of damage to The Jefferson Hotel at last year's event, and everyone attending must be registered on the guest list.

Fraternity pledging, football, a Glee Club--the news could easily run in this issue of The Collegian. But the date at across the top gives it away: November 25, 1914. It's been nearly 100 years since nine men put together the first issue of a newspaper called The Collegian. Running only four pages long, it listed its office as a dorm room, and a yearlong subscription could be had for $1, or about $22 today.

If you are a current University of Richmond student, a member of its campus community or merely an interested alum, it is highly likely that you are familiar with the name Paul Queally.

It's been an open secret around the University of Richmond campus that there is a push to put a student on the board of trustees.

Ring Dance is an annual event with an unknown year of origin. It is a one-night celebration to commemorate the academic accomplishments of Westhampton College junior women, for which parents fly across the country to escort their daughters down the stairs at the Jefferson Hotel and to see the white-clad group form the "W" at the bottom.

What are you doing this weekend? If your response is anything other than "going on an extended trip outside the Commonwealth," and especially if your plan is "umm... lodges?" then I have an excellent answer to that question. This Saturday, from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., the Cultural Advisors Alternatives program is hosting a Winter Masquerade Ball in the International Center Commons. As is the case with all CA Alternatives, this event is sure to thrill and amaze students from across the spectrum. Just in case you need any added incentive to attend a party that involves masks, balloons and a DJ, I hope this list of reasons it will be the best will cinch the deal.

So, friends, the time is almost upon us again. The one day every year when sundresses, lodges and cooked meat coexist (semi) peacefully. If you happen to live your life mainly within the "Richmond bubble," as so many of us do, Pig Roast might as well be a national holiday.

I am writing this article not only as a leader on this campus, but also as a student of both Westhampton College and the University of Richmond. I am writing this article not only as a student who has heard from both sides of the story, but also as someone who understands the criticisms of the proposed changes to Ring Dance.

The following argument was going on behind me at the library last night for about 10 minutes. Nobody won, but both participants succeeded at preventing each other from getting anything done.

Some of you may have noticed the new banners around campus, draping from the posts along the roadways here at University of Richmond. These banners read "The Campaign for Richmond: Fulfilling the Promise."

During the past six months, there have been some changes at Richmond. Have you been paying attention? I really hope so, because these changes are bound to affect you or someone you know.

The university's website states that, "The coordinate college system is one of the most distinctive features of the University of Richmond," and I couldn't agree more.

To begin I would like to thank The Collegian for the piece it published last week called, "Traditions exist for a reason" by Thomas Neale, because the public voicing of opinions of the many people who comprise the University of Richmond community can only serve to broaden and diversify discussions pertinent to the school.

I am the father of a Class of 2010 alumna. My daughter loved her time at Richmond. She graduated summa cum laude, was a three-year officer on the Honor Council and became editor of The Collegian her senior year. She was a journalism major and women's studies minor.
