Last night, the Pforzheimer House Committee voted 23-16 against a resolution to ban all Adams House residents from eating in their dining hall, unless accompanied by a Pfo-Ho resident.
The suggestion comes in the wake of the Adams decision enacted this semester to ban interhouse diners, due to excessive crowding during peak hours. Students in the Quad are especially affected by this restriction, as classes often leave them far from home.
Not permitted to eat at Annenberg Hall or Adams for peak hours during lunch or dinner, many Quadlings end up taking a Fly-By bag lunch from Loker or heading back to the Quad to eat.
Fredrick G. Wedell '01, in a discussion at lunch, conceived a plan for retaliation, borne out of frustration at the Adams rule, which was put on the agenda for the HoCo meeting by the president, Manuel A. Garcia '00.
"Putting stickers on their IDs is one step too far," Wendell said.
Wendell suggested the action of restricting Adams residents, whose IDs are marked with a sticker of the House seal, from eating at Pfo-Ho, a move he admits is not likely to affect the life of the average Adams student.
"It's more of a humorous gesture," Wendell commented, "I don't even think most of the people even know about it."
Students in opposition to the proposal said they thought restricting Adams residents would not be an appropriate reaction.
