A day at the races

Students should take advantage of the many programs intended to increase safety during this year

The Foxfield Races is certainly one of the University's most popular traditions. Who doesn't love a sea of pastel, Lilly Pulitzer dresses, floppy hats, food, drinks and, oh yeah, horses. It is one last hurrah before students get saddled down with final papers and exams and begin hibernation in Clemons Library. Although it is definitely a fun tradition that many alumni of the University cherish, both students and the University should take measures to ensure everyone's safety at this year's events.
