Well, it’s over. Spring Weekend, likely the catalyst for all kinds of sex, is ending. Some of it was pretty public (read: people streaking through Chapel Field) and hopefully some was gloriously private, or as private as college gets (read: paper thin walls). Sex over Spring Weekend can be surprisingly hard to accomplish, largely because […]

I must say I was little confused when I first spotted the red spray paint scrawled across a column of the gazebo in the number “413.” It looked like the sort of haphazard marking systems used by construction companies to remind you to call before you dig.
