Like all other Westhampton freshmen, I was informed about the changes to the Ring Dance tradition recently.

A cartoon of mine was published in the Opinions section of The Collegian. The cartoon depicted girls of the Westhampton class of 2013 in white dresses, having fun, holding flowers, hugging and having their picture taken. In the next panel were girls of the Westhampton class of 2016 in chains and wearing black dresses. The colors of their dresses had absolutely no connection to race in any way, by any means. The symbolism of the chains for the girls of 2016 was in reference strictly to restrictive changes implemented without any student input, and nothing else. I sincerely apologize for any offense implied by my cartoon and hope that this statement may clear up any confusion.

'Twas the day after Pig Roast, and all through our school, not a Spider was stirring, as a general rule.
In a forum set up to discuss whether University of Richmond's college coordinate system was advantageous or not, one of the most intriguing topics brought up was the possible need for a third college coordinate option.
