Contest Over Thanksgiving

In the most recent issue of the Review, staff writer Brendan Devine discussed the holiday placards (seen on next page) that were set up in the Flora Rose dining hall around Thanksgiving.  On a related note, the following is the response Jennifer Majka, Assistant Dean of Flora Rose, gave when one student inquired as to the purpose of the tri-fold decorations.

I guess it could be worse (at least the placards don’t condemn the ‘death of Program Houses’), but I still wonder why our dining hall coordinators feel the responsibility to promote a ‘social justice program’.  And even better to know that apparently a single house student is in charge of deciding what is appropriate ambiance for a dining hall! Follow the jump to see the original placards that were on every dinner table.
