A button fell out of an undergrad's coat as he walked through the quad in the 1930s. A girl lost her ring in between thick blades of grass when it slipped from her finger one afternoon in 1962. And last week, a couple of quarters fell out of your pocket after you bought lunch at the Whole Earth Festival.

Long after their owners have moved on, these possessions lay hidden in the UC Davis quad. But they can all be recovered - if you know how to find them.

Editor's Note: For this edition of Ten Questions, The California Aggie spoke with senior communication major Kyle Dubs to get a feel for day-to-day life as a UC Davis student resident firefighter. The program, which began in 1955, teaches firefighting skills to a select group of UC Davis students.

There is no way to describe the strange noise that came out of my mouth when I walked past the Davis Creamery a month ago and noticed a gourmet cupcake advertisement. This food combination was like if Disneyland had fused with Sea World - kind of random but still a really good idea.

The Davis Creamery makes and sells chocolate, vanilla, coffee, peppermint, chocolate mint, strawberry, salted caramel, cheesecake, cupcake and lemon custard ice cream on a regular basis. It's currently offering three new fruit sorbet flavors, including Very Berry, Pomegranate Raspberry and Mango.

After aimlessly walking around the Whole Earth Festival and observing its diverse and largely animal-friendly food options, I came to the realization that I definitely did not want an herbal milkshake and Naan for lunch. This said, I opted to make the half-mile journey to Davis' newest Thai restaurant, KetMoRee, to dine at a place where the smell of the compost exhibit could not interfere with my appetite.

It's that time of year again - UC Davis students are faced with the challenges of job-hunting. Fine-tuning resumes and preparing for interviews can be a drag, but there are several tips to make the search for jobs and internships a little more productive.

One of the most popular classes at UC Davis, Nutrition 10 needs no introduction. If you have never heard of the class, you need to get out of your dorm room more often - Nutrition 10 is the only class that has a waitlist line outside the building on the first day of school. But there is another thing that makes the class unique: the teaching assistants.
