To the 20 or so kids, a number of whom are from Eclectic, who drunkenly had a food fight that trashed part of MoCon, and did not clean up the thrown food nor the vomit your friend so charmingly deposited on the table:
As fellow Wesleyan students, we don’t want to be represented as irresponsible and arrogant. The thoughtless way you treated the Mocon staff affects our relationship with them as well.
But it’s really not about you or us. It’s about the MoCon staff who had to work that much harder on a Saturday night, in order to clean up your food and vomit. One of you told us that you hang out with them “all the time.” That should make it a lot easier for you to walk up to them and say, “We’re sorry.” Take responsibility for your actions, and apologize to the MoCon staff.
If you disagree with our assessment, we invite you to write a sober articulation of your arguments that “I pay $45,000 a year to be here,” “They get paid $14.50 an hour,” “It’s their job,” and “Fuck you!”
A final word—thank you to the student who approached us and apologized for your friends’ foolishness and hostility, and thank you to the one student who actually cleaned up some of the mess.
Sincerely,
Julius Pasay, Jonah Sampson-Boyarin, Eli Sevcik-Timberg
