Zebra or no zebra, Oxford, Ga., is the perfect college town
Oxford, Georgia, encompasses 2 1/2 square miles and some 2,000 residents — not counting the zebra who recently overnighted at Oxford College's Seney Hall, courtesy of a zany prank. There are no sidewalk cafes or bowling alleys anywhere in the Newton County community. No Six Flags Over Oxford. No way, in other words, I should have been able to spend six very diverting hours there on a recent sultry day.

OXFORD, GA., is home to Oxford College of Emory University. The school's Seney Hall overlooks a quad; the bell in its clock tower rings every half-hour. In April, a prankster stole a zebra from a farm and left it, unharmed, in Seney Hall.
