Wesleyan’s Public Safety Nightmare
Wesleyan University has had quite an eventful year in the way of security issues: physical assault, theft, voyeurism, and racial discrimination have all appeared in campus-wide e-mails. Below is a selection of the Public Safety (P-Safe, Wes’s campus security) alerts and incidents that have cropped up this past year, followed by a few major concerns [...]
What must change for the Tour de Franzia to survive?
Increasing levels of semi-threatening e-mails from Wesleyan’s administration could only mean one thing: it’s officially Tour de Franzia season! The Tour consists of a night in which groups of students run around campus, taking pictures of themselves at destinations or performing tasks the organizers come up with—places like “Where Obama spoke” or things like “Hooking [...]
Wes Reacts To Recent Policy Concerning Race
Last week, we received the following–anon ‘Cardinal’s reaction to an announcement by Wes’s President Roth: “Wesleyan has decided that the race of the individual(s) that have committed a dangerous crime on campus will no longer be included in public safety alerts.

Wes Weighs Banning Campus Tobacco Sales

Campus security wields immense access to student and college property. We trust them to protect us, and we [...]
Where Are My Avery Robinson Fangirls?
Gawker quelled social media rumors that Avery Robinson (Wes ’15) was charming the Obama girls in video of the inaugural proceedings with this admission: he’s their cousin, duhrrrrr. The article linked out to Robinson’s Cardinals basketball profile, so now the secret is out…one time a Wesleyan student attended a political function and didn’t picket it. [...]
Michael Bay With The Hits Channel
Michael Bay (Wesleyan ’86), who famously said of his alma mater “Wesleyan was very cliquey. They all wore dark clothing, and they were always uggghhhhh,” has a new trailer out. Mark Wahlberg is in it. Rebel Wilson is in it. Dwayne Johnson, etc. The LA Times has called it “2013′s ‘Magic Mike.’” Oh gawsh, have at [...]
