Students steal $6000, Mocon cries

Attention smelly hippies and greedy capitalists alike: here’s something we can all agree on. We need to stop stealing plates and silverware from Mocon. Food- I see nothing wrong with that (though of course I’ve never taken any… ) But if it’s not edible, leave it. It will make the environment and our wallets smile. We at EON (the smelly hippie camp) were upset that Mocon was using disposable plastic, so we did a little research. Turns out plastics are only used when we steal enough plates that they can’t keep them washed, leaving us stranded at the salad bar. And those lovely plastic replacements aren’t recyclable. And then (here comes the greed), the plates have to be replaced. That cost more than 6,000 dollars in the first two months of school alone. And I don’t need to tell you who ends up paying for it. So please stop taking the plates, the forks, the mugs, and the serving tongs, and do your pilfering in an ecologically sound manner (hint- Tupperware). Smuggle the stuff you have back in. And if you absolutely must bring that meatloaf back to Clark, return the plate at the next meal. Regardless of your politics, it’s to your advantage.
