Zonker Harris Day a memorable tradition

By Selina Ellis

As an alum of both the university and WestCo, I was dismayed to read about ResLife's underhanded tactics to forcibly change the name of Zonker Harris Day (“Blunt refusal: ResLife says no to funding Zonker Harris Day,” Feb. 29, vol. CXLIII, no. 33). Maybe President Roth thinks that Zonker Harris Day is “stupid,” but to many of us alums, it is one of those great traditions that made our years on campus so memorable. You call us each year to ask us for money, but if you kill off the Wesleyan that we love, why would we send you any?
