Last  Saturday,  while  the  rest  of  campus  was  Frolicking  about,  thieves  found  their  way  onto  the  couple  of  Rich  girls  halls.  Break- ing  into  the  basement,  the  thieves  were  easily  deterred  by  the  dis- gusting  skunk  smell  emanating  from  the  rooms  and  the  offerings  WR WKH EXLOGLQJ URDFKHV WKDW OLWWHUHG WKH Ă€ RRU &OLPELQJ QXPHU RXV Ă€ LJKWV RI VWDLUV DQG FRPELQJ WKH UHVW RI WKH XQORFNHG EXLOGLQJ rooms,  the  thieves  were  left  sad  and  dejected  as  they  were  only  able  to  make-Âout  with  a  couple  of  Rich  girls. Students  expressed  concern  over  the  incident,  stating  that  they  felt  bad  for  the  criminals  who  probably  came  from  struggling  eco- nomic  circumstances  and  just  came  onto  campus  to  have  a  good  time. “I  feel  totally  bad  for  them,â€?  junior  Joseph  Pollock  said.  “I  mean,  out  of  all  the  buildings  on  campus  to  break  into,  I  can’t  imagine  making-Âout  with  anything  good  in  Rich‌  Even  Tomlin- son  would  have  been  better.â€? “These  people  were  here  for  a  good  time  ‌  and  they  left  com- pletely  disappointed,â€?  sophomore  Alyssa  Smith  said.  “We  should  accommodate  guests  and  invite  them  to  our  court  parties.  They  should  be  open  so  guys  like  these  shouldn’t  have  to  lurk  around  hallways  hoping  to  ‘get  lucky’  by  hitting  the  jackpot.â€?  While  this  is  the  sentiment  of  most  on  campus,  there  is  another  group  on  campus  who  believes  that  outsiders  have  no  place  here,  especially  during  our  open  events.  “If  you’re  not  a  Davidson  student,  you  should  be  allowed  to  enjoy  Davidson  campus‌  even  if  it’s  only  Rich,â€?  a  freshman  stu- dent  who  wished  to  remain  anonymous  stated  vehemently.  “Da- YLGVRQ LV DQ H[FOXVLYH WRS OLEHUDO DUWV FROOHJH DQG TXLWH IUDQNO\ I’m  afraid  of  anyone  who  wasn’t  able  to  get  in  here  through  the  application  process.  It’s  clear  to  me  that  these  criminals  who  are  looking  to  steal  kisses  from  innocent  Rich  residents  by  breaking  into  the  building  are  the  same  as  all  uninvited  guests.  They  are  evil  SHRSOH DQG TXLWH IUDQNO\ WKLV LVVXH QHHGV WR EH DGGUHVVHG ´ While  the  YOWL  agrees  that  anyone  who  isn’t  a  Davidson  student  is  evil,  as  the  unwavering  binds  of  the  Honor  Code  are  unable  to  restrain  these  people  from  committing  countless  violent  acts  against  humanity,  we  are  unsure  of  whether  they  should  be  allowed  on  campus  or  not.  Ultimately  this  is  up  to  the  students  to  decide,  which  we  hope  to  occur  during  our  next  Davidsonian  Talk  Back.  (Also,  just  to  set  things  straight,  Talk  Back  is  a  term  started  and  coined  by  the  Davidsonian.  We  have  no  idea  why  the  SGA  thinks  they  have  the  right  to  start  using  it  too.)

It’s  early  afternoon  on  Sunday  of  Frollics.  I’m  about  to  leave  my  dorm  for  my  usual  study  spot,  when  my  nose  catches  a  curious  and  unpleasant  smell.  I  look  down  to  see  a  cracked  egg  lying  on  WKH Ă€ RRU RI P\ KDOO ,W ZDV WKHUH IRU WKUHH GD\V , FRQWLQXH RQ P\ way  and  head  for  the  staircase  (when   I  tried  using  the  elevator  earlier  the  same  morning,  the  stench  led  me  to  exit  immediately  DQG ZDON XS WR P\ Ă€ RRU LQ GLVJXVW ZKHQ P\ H\H FDWFKHV WKH emergency  “exitâ€?  sign  hanging  suspiciously  lower  than  usual.  I  look  up  and  see  that  the  sign  has  been  pulled  out  of  the  ceiling  and  is  hanging  by  its  wires.  I  look  to  the  right  and  see  everything  on  my  hall’s  announcement/poster  board  –  into  whose  set-Âup  our  RA  put  a  lot  of  thought  and  effort  at  the  beginning  of  the  semester  ¹ WRUQ DSDUW DQG O\LQJ RQ WKH Ă€ RRU Âł2QO\ GXULQJ )UROLFV ´ , WKLQN to  myself  as  I  walk  down  the  stairs  and  discover  more  cracked  eggs,  torn  down  posters,  “curiousâ€?  stenches,  and  even  a  part  of  the  elevator’s  dome.  This  type  of  sight,  however,  is  not  something  we  only  observe  during  Frolics  weekend.  For  me,  it’s  been  a  depressing  part  of  my  weekend  morning  routine  that  has  concerned  me  continuously  in  the  past  two  semesters,  and  which  I  have  until  now  been  passively  accepting.  I  can  count  at  least  four  times  this  year  when  I  have  passed  by  a  broken  light  post  on  my  way  up  the  hill  on  a  Saturday  or  Sunday  morning,  or  seen  the  results  of  some  form  of  minor  or  major  vandalism  in  the  New  Dorm,  where  I  live.  A  couple  of  times  I  have  found  my  –locked  –  bike  thrown  into  the  ground,  mud,  or  bushes,  near  my  dorm  or  further  away,  and  even  more  times  I  have  seen  other  people’s  bikes  in  a  similar  or  worse  con- dition.  And  I  ask  myself,  WHY?  Can  we  just  take  a  moment  to  ques- tion  what  is  causing  people  to  engage  in  such  inconsiderate  and  destructive  behavior  every  weekend?  I  know  that  the  issue  of  drinking  in  college  is  too  large  to  try  to  ponder  as  a  whole  in  a  short  article  like  this,  but  I  would  really  like  to  draw  attention  to  that  particular  aspect  of  it:  when  did  we  ever  become  entitled  to  GHVWUR\ SURSHUW\ WKDW WKH &ROOHJH RU DQ\ LQGLYLGXDO LV LQYLWLQJ XV into?  This  is  property  that  members  of  the  student  body  depend  RQ EHQHÂż W IURP DQG XWLOL]H HYHU\ GD\ SURSHUW\ IRU ZKLFK SDUHQWV VFKRODUVKLS DQG JUDQW GRQRUV DFURVV WKH FRXQWU\ DUH SD\LQJ IRU DQG PRVW LPSRUWDQWO\ SURSHUW\ VRPHRQH ZLOO KDYH WR Âż [ Yes,  the  Honor  Code  is  one  of  the  things  that  I  appreciate  the  most  about  being  at  Davidson,  but  what  is  the  Honor  Code  with- RXW UHVSHFW" :KDW LV WKH VLJQLÂż FDQFH RI QRW FKHDWLQJ RQ DQ H[DP or  of  being  able  to  feel  safe  leaving  our  stuff  in  a  public  space,  when  we  don’t  care  about  our  classmates  who  are  going  to  wake  up  to  our  Friday  night  mess,  or  the  Physical  Plant  staff  who  will  have  to  clean  it?  And  why  do  the  rest  of  us,  the  “victimsâ€?  of  these  occurrences,  so  to  speak,  tacitly  accept  this  situation  as  the  norm,  instead  of  speaking  up  about  it?

A  divisive  dinner
Graduation is approaching. Students and their families and friends have been making plans to celebrate the admirable accomplishment of successfully completing the Davidson expeULHQFH 7KH &ROOHJH KDV SURYLGHG D VFKHGXOH RI RIÀ FLDO FROOHJH events that students and their supporters are welcome to attend. Descriptions of each can be found on the website (http://www. davidson.edu/commencement/schedule). These events are presumably designed to offer organized opportunities for students and their supporters to celebrate together a journey impossible to complete without those upon whom we depend. I am grateful to the College for its efforts to provide us memorable experiences to bring some communal resolution to our time here. Importantly, the only event that may entail additional cost to students (beyond travel, lodging, donations and tuition) is the President’s Supper on Saturday night. Students receive three free tickets, and additional tickets are $12, just slightly more than the dinner price at Commons, where the event will be held. I recently learned that the college is organizing an additional event, not mentioned on the website. The parents and guardians of seniors received an invitation in the mail to a swanky dinner with the President at the Quarry (a popular venue for fraternity and eating house formals). The ticket price is $65 per person. The College may be well-intentioned in providing \HW DQRWKHU RIÀ FLDO ZD\ IRU XV WR FHOHEUDWH , DP VWUXFN DQG upset, however, by the way I envision this event will draw stark economic lines among students in our class. This is not like Parents Weekend or a luxury stay at the Carnegie Guest House for families who can afford those expenditures. Any other way to commemorate our experience at Davidson is effectively extraneous in comparison to graduation and its associated events. Supporters of students will feel pressure to support and reward their Davidson student for graduating. While I can’t personally relate to any student whose supporters can’t afford the almost

What people want from graduation, what they feel they’ve gotten from Davidson, and how best to commemorate both are beyond my knowledge. Our student body is diverse and growing more so. Our histories include ample wealth, economic struggle and everything in between. To expect equality during every second of our time at Davidson is foolish and, arguably, detrimental. Some students will join their supporters for expensive meals in the area and other forms of celebration. I do not mean to criticize those able to do so. Nevertheless, when we are graduating from Davidson, our lives and achievements coincide more than they ever have, and may ever again.

Paddon wins 1,500m race at SoCon’s Sarah Paddon ’15 shaved four seconds oȔ of her previous school record and won the 1,500m at the SoCon Championships in 4:24.54. She became the Þrst Wildcat to take home Þrst place at conferences since 2009. The day before, her teammate Erin Osment ’15 ran the race of her life, taking second in the 10,000m. Her time of 35:30.82 bested the previous school record by roughly 18 seconds.
Lantz takes second in the 800m Andrew Lantz Õ14 Þnished second in his last SoCon Championships 800m race. Lantz, who holds Davidson’s top nine times in the event, Þnished in 1:50.84. Patrick Rollo Õ16 ran a personal-best 1:53.32 to place fourth. The day before, senior Grayam SailorTynes `14 ran a personal-best 9:21.69 to take home Þfth in the Steeplechase in his Þnal conference meet. Charles Rappe ’16 also took home two top-Þve Þnishes in the hurdles.
Curry Watch
Stephen Curry is in the midst of a grueling Þrst-round playoȔ series with the Clippers. In the shadow of the controversy surrounding Clippers owner Donald Sterling, the series is riveting. Curry started oȔ the playoȔs slow, not shooting his usual percentages, but in Game 4, Curry began to Þnd his mark, and he Þnished with 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Much like with the rest of this yearÕs playoȔ series, you shouldn’t turn away. The drama is unparalled.
