Meatless Mondays at St. Mary's College

[rseymorejr]

Why not just agree to stop forcing the vegetarians to eat meat on Mondays?

You have Saint James Deli, Cooks, and the Saint Inigoes Store within 5 minutes of the college.

Oh god, those St James pizzas...

+1....back in my day the students were too busy protesting the Vietnam war....I guess we have progressed quite it bit if their biggest gripe is having to eat salad on Monday.....

They've got plenty of other liberal peacenik protest type things they stir up. Though on the food related list, I remember when a small group of students managed to get the Daily Grind from carrying Chick-Fil-A sandwiches...yeah, having Bollywood delivered to campus was nice, but those chicken sandwiches were excellent too.

Glad I'm gone, sad we paid for 4 years of indoctrination.

From the assholes of the 1960's/70's to the "I'm special" generation. That being said..... what's next, getting their heads cut off? (now you see why Id LOVE a draft)

This is slightly off topic, but I don't know where else to turn. Two years ago the Student Government Association (SGA) of St. Mary's College of Maryland passed a resolution in support of Meatless Mondays at the indirect suggestion of the current president of the college (who was later fired for reasons unrelated).

can you expand on that or point me to where I can read up on it? I had only heard she retired.

Urgo came in after her. He replaced everyone of importance in the recruiting departments, then was surprised when the school failed to recruit. The board canned him when he notified them of a severe budget shortfall due to low student enrollment.

O'Brien, Urgo...SMCM has always had really poor administration and (mis)management. Thank god those hacks Bayless and Botzman left too.

I wonder how hard it would be to open a beef jerkey or barbecue booth on mondays only.

Used a new pic. That other one was a HUGE problem.

there is a place for all of Gods creatures right next to the potatoes
PBJ and Raman noodles collegiate fare are OK

I am not trying to complain on the internet, I am trying to let people know whats going on/get some support against it. I already am working on a counter petition against it. As for as other options, yes there are other places to eat; however we must pay in advance at the beginning of the semester, and drastically changing the menu after I already paid is dishonest. I don't want to pay $11 a meal for salad.

Frame the petition in terms of a right that everyone should have, which is being forcibly removed by a narrow-minded group that wants to impose dietary restrictions on others. Draw a parallel with gay marriage - this will make their liberal heads explode.

I second the rational ideas given above but my silly side says plaster some PETA stickers all over (People Eating Tasty Animals).

The HELL YOU SAY!, I'm special.

Start a petition to only allow meat based foods to be served on Wednesdays. Watch the hippies cry.

Rab1515, if I were in your situation and they went to meatless Monday, I would get a small grill and fire it up for me and my friends every Monday.

Great way to collect signatures.
