In retaliation, the Pforzheimer House Committee proposed a vote to ban Adams students from eating in their dining hall. The vote failed.
Adams residents retaliated by declaring war on Pforzheimer Monday night, plastering the doors of Pforzheimer rooms with a "declaration of war," taking the "pf" of Pforzheimer into protective custody and declaring themselves Pfadams House.
Late Wednesday night, in retaliation for the theft of the gong, Adams residents entered Pforzheimer, plastering signs that read "the sun never sets on the pfadams empire."
But Pforzheimer students "were ripping down signs as soon as they were being put up", according to Peter B. Moores '01, a House resident who is on the newly formed Pforzheimer Council of War.
The war is expected to culminate this Sunday in a "final battle" that, according to Garcia, will probably include football and tug-of-war games.
"Adams House started this war with their Declaration," Garcia said. "On Sunday, we will unleash 'the dogs of war' and finish it."
Moores said Pforzheimer is "well-mobilized" for Sunday's battle, but is not sure if the war will end there.
