At the beginning of pretty much every semester, students begin speculating on who will be the esteemed performers at W.I.L.D. Cadenza, too, is apt to enter the discussion, so we created a list of artists we would love and not-so-love to see.

All I can say is wow…my first W.I.L.D. was even more wild than I thought W.I.L.D. could be. Out of the dozens and dozens of stories I’ve heard from my upperclassmen friends, not one could even begin to accurately describe the phenomenon that is the concert in Brookings Quad.

The number and severity of alcohol-related incidents during W.I.L.D. on Friday were lower than last fall’s concert. Many students had speculated that since W.I.L.D. was being held earlier than usual this year, and freshmen access to fraternity houses has been limited, the lack of experience with drinking would lead to an increase in alcohol-related incidents.

Students flocked to Brookings Quadrangle to see Mike Posner, the White Panda and OCD: Moosh & Twist play at W.I.L.D. on Friday evening. Here are some of the highlights…

As you all know, W.I.L.D. is this Friday. There will be lots of pre-gaming, a musical act you may or may not have heard of and the majority of the Washington University student body wandering around the Quad. It’s a good Wash. U. bonding experience. But this year, W.I.L.D. coincides with DAYGLOW. Guess what?

Despite the administration moving W.I.L.D. to Friday this year, festivities will undoubtedly unfold in the same manner. Many professors have canceled Friday-afternoon classes, and for those students unlucky enough to have fun-hating professors, they always have the option of not even showing up. After all, what are they going to do? Call your parents?

As W.I.L.D. approaches, and stickers bearing “Run from Popo” persist in library bathrooms, it becomes increasingly important that students understand arrest. Scene met with Don Strom, Chief of Police of the Washington University Police Department, to discuss the work of the police and the procedure of custody.

While most students will spend this Friday drinking cans of Natty and taking shots of Sterling, there are more delicious ways to get W.I.L.D. Even the frattiest brothers must admit that drinking Natty all the time gets old. Why not buy a six-pack of a delicious beer to go with that case of Natty?

Past: Why weren’t we born a decade earlier?

It would have been awesome to be a member of the Class of 2003…in terms of W.I.L.D., that is. With just one glance at the lineup they had during their four years at Washington University, anyone would be envious. In the spring of 2000, their freshman year, Outkast and Dispatch played.
