Stop the presses.
When last we visited M.C. Fernalds, wraps were unavailable. This left the masses to fend for themselves. No longer could a Winslow, a Knox or a Sea Grant be had on your favorite wrap flavor. Where once you enjoyed the abundance of meat and vegetable wrapped tightly (sometimes), you were left with two open seams for falling sandwich matter.
Those unfamiliar with the finer points of eating off a sub roll were dumbfounded by this new foreign system. Where are our wraps they cried, nearly in unison. Would we ever see them again?
Struck by outrage, The Maine Campus undertook its greatest mission to date. The paper printed and circulated one simple demand – bring back the wrap.
And Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Chapman listened. According to Jessica McDonald, retail supervisor at the Maine Marketplace, he informed Dining Service Manager Jim Carey that popular opinion would prevail.
“Everybody was complaining – a bunch of students came in and complained because the wraps were much easier to eat,” a Maine Marketplace employee said Sunday night.
McDonald said the reason for taking away the wraps was not simply financial. The powers that be also wanted to reduce the lunch time congestion in the Marketplace.
Whatever the reason, student voices were heard.
Which leads to students and Maine Day.
A day designed to make a difference in our community. A day designed to pick up the crap we spend the rest of the year throwing on the ground. A day designed to play volleyball in the mud with the president. A day to seek pie-throwing vengeance on our campus leaders.
We invite the students, the same students who came together and brought back the wraps and the same students who threw the trash on the ground, to make a difference on Maine Day. Come together, clean the campus, eat some free food, throw some pies and have some fun.
