Medallion search leaves many confused

The hunt for the medallion is halfway over and the Larzelere Hall Council team is still gunning for that ultimate prize.

On this Wednesday night the clue lead hunters to Bush Theatre outside of Moore Hall.

“The clue was easy,” Kyle Smith said. “Everyone got that one.”

The clue that Indiana Jones said to a large group of people was “The key lies in the president staff. Unlike Indy, you have twice as much information as I did.”

After four nights of hunting Smith and the rest of his team are very confused and frustrated about the clues released so far.

“No one knows where it is. No one knows that the president staff means. It wasn’t a very good night. It wasn’t a very good clue. It didn’t really advance anything for us. It’s as
fruitless as ever,” Smith said.

The team that finds the medallion receives a $200 gift certificate from Papa John’s pizza, 25 points toward their organization’s involvement in the Maroon Cup spirit trophy and bragging rights.

Though the 25 points for finding the Medallion isn’t worth anymore than any other event, it gives students the biggest thrills and biggest headaches of any Homecoming activity.

“The points are really secondary and so is the Pizza,” Smith said. “It’s just the thrill of being the only one out of the thousands of people looking to find it. It’s about the bragging rights.”

The Larzelere team remains discouraged but not defeated after four nights of clues and countless hours spent searching. For now they will just have to see what the next clue holds and what the next night of hunting brings.

“It’s back to the drawing board again,” Smith said. “We’ll sit and watch the movies again and go over the clues again. We won’t ever give up.”
