The boundaries of language I quietly cursed / And all the different names for the same thing.

The Powers That Be at Wake have reached an agreement with BB&T for naming rights to Groves Stadium. As far as I'm concerned it's basically free money, but I can understand that others don't like the idea of "BB&T Field." Just remember, it could have been much, much worse.

And if that doesn't scare Wake students enough, apparently there's a menacing alligator on the loose near campus. From a student-wide e-mail:

"Recently, the University learned that an alligator, approximately two feet in length, is in Lake Katherine at Reynolda Gardens. At the suggestion of Forsyth County Animal Control staff, the University has reported the alligator's presence to a non-profit organization that rescues reptiles and moves them to appropriate locations.

Meanwhile, the University Police department asks that people stay away from the alligator and report its exact location if anyone sees it. The number to call is 758-5591 or 758-5911.

The alligator was reported to University Police on August 31. Officers saw the alligator on a log in the lake, near the lake's bank, and promptly contacted Forsyth County Animal Control. That same day, county staff recommended that the University ask Tar Heel Reptile Rescue to capture it.

Since that time, the rescue organization has attempted but failed to capture it. Efforts to remove the alligator will continue.

Wake Forest News Service."

That's right. We pawned off campus security to the Tar Heels. God help us all.
