Students debate FitzRandolph Gate graduation legend

As freshmen, Kyle Weston '94 and a fellow classmate walked through the FitzRandolph Gate while rushing to Victor's Pizzeria for a slice."Only after the fact, slobbering at the mouth with red sauce and all, did we realize that exiting the gate prior to graduation set an immediate curse upon you," Weston said.The myth of the FitzRandolph Gate warns that if you exit the gate before graduation, you might not graduate."Well, we got a few chuckles out of it ? 'yeah, right, whatever!'" Weston said, "though perhaps a few 'what ifs' did gnaw at the mind ? 'what if I do fail . . . what would mom and dad think.'"The FitzRandolph Gate was initially constructed to keep townspeople off the University campus.

After 17 years, cicadas return to campus

As students leave for summer vacation, swarms of noisy, orange-and-black creatures will be making their cyclic return to campus for a brief stay before disappearing again.They're not alumni coming back for Reunions; they're a type of cicadas that emerge from underground once every 17 years.Unlike the green cicadas that appear every July, periodical cicadas live in the soil as nymphs for 17 years before burrowing through to the surface.Trillions are expected to cover most of the eastern region of North America beginning in late May and are expected to reach densities of up to 40,000 per acre.Notorious for their overwhelming number and constant singing, the cicadas, which can grow to two inches in length, will be in full force during Reunions and Commencement this year ? just as they were in 1987 and 1970."You literally had to shout to talk to people even if you were walking next to them," recalled John Loose '70.
