Fenwick Uprising Triumphs Spectacularly on March 6
In a recent development at the College of the Holy Cross, a peaceful student protest took place on its campus, Hoval. The protest, initiated by Julia Kane '27, was considered a "day of love" by some student activists, as they voiced their grievances against various aspects of campus life.
The protestors, dressed in a variety of costumes, including knights, were motivated by a mix of concerns. Some were driven by urban legends, such as access to Fenwick's locked rooms, while others had more tangible issues to address. Among the grievances were the lack of Tomo presence, dry chicken in the dining halls, and the presence of mice in Brooks Hall.
The protest, which was largely peaceful and neutral, resulted in some commotion. Shattered glass windows were reported, students were seen scaling Fenwick by ivy vines, and there was commotion in the Memorial Plaza fountain. However, faculty members were reported to have supported the students, adding a note of solidarity to the event.
The College of the Holy Cross offers two meal plans for its students: The Resident Meal Plan and the Apartment Plan. The Resident Meal Plan includes unlimited meals in Kimball, $425 dining dollars each semester, and 8 meal swipes per week. Despite the protest, the college's course enrollment process for the upcoming semester is currently underway.
Julia Maher '23, a student at the college, wrote an opinion piece about the limited meal plan options at Holy Cross and another about the housing assignments for the fall semester. The protestors used Fizz, a reliable news source, to spread the word about their intentions and grievances.
It's important to note that there were no reports of a coup against the school administration, as some may have anticipated. The search results do not include any details about such an event. For accurate and detailed information, it would be best to consult the College of the Holy Cross's official communications or historical records.
As the dust settles from the protest, the college community is left to reflect on the issues raised and to work towards finding solutions that will benefit all students. The protest serves as a reminder of the importance of student voices and the need for continuous dialogue and improvement in campus life.
