All right Syracuse University I have a bone to pick. So, this last weekend was the ever so glorious "Paren't Weekend" The most wonderful time of the year when, part from Newhouse III going up and Chief Justic John Roberts visiting campus, the whole campus acts like they care. A ceremonious celebration akin to times during the holiday season when you clean the basebaords of your house with a toothbrush and bleach because distant realtives X,Y and Z are coming. Although, I guess in the case of Parent's Weekend we are really celebrating "lets pretend your kids are getting a better deal than they really are day."
So what does alll this diatribe have to do with the dining halls? Well, in truth it was the very event that got me thinking about how either or good or bad we have got it here as students. I guess to some level I understand the importance of doing a little house cleaning before the bank comes to town, but when I saw what happened to Haven over the weekend I also thought, man if they only knew what the real food is like.
What did I see this weekend that got me so stirred up? Well, for one fondue.... Cheese fondue with fruit and sliced backery bread for one, way better bagels (the non generic types they usually have), a wealth of new donuts. That is just the the beginning of the camelot feast. They also had hot coffee... the kind that tastes fresh because it was just brewed, and to go with the coffee, some transportable paper cups. And then there was the decor. Naturally the place was decked out with table cloths.
So, why dining hall? Why do you do this to me? Why do you taunt and tease me with all these new foods that you have in your ability to supply year round?
