Fenwick Rebellion Triumphs Spectacularly on March 6th
In the heart of Holy Cross's campus, a peaceful protest took place on Hoval, with students voicing their concerns about various campus issues. Julia Kane '27, the Opinions Editor, has been covering this event extensively.
The protest was organised through the news source Fizz and was supported by faculty members. It was described as a "day of love" and saw students charging Fenwick Hall, shattering glass windows, and scaling the building by its ivy vines. The commotion extended to the Memorial Plaza fountain, where student activists caused a stir, yelling "Stop the steal!" - a reference to the dining dollars.
The protest was in response to several grievances, including the lack of Tomo presence, dry chicken in Kimball, and a mice infestation in Brooks Hall. Some students even wore knight armor, representing the Crusader motif, to reclaim the school's mascot.
Interestingly, some students were motivated by urban legends, such as the desire to access Fenwick's locked rooms for alleged exorcisms.
As for academics, Julia Maher '23 has written two opinion pieces for the college news. One discusses the process of enrolling in classes for the subsequent semester, and the other outlines her concerns about the limited meal plan options available at Holy Cross.
The current meal plans offered by Holy Cross are the Resident Meal Plan and the Apartment Plan. The Resident Meal Plan includes unlimited meals in Kimball, $425 dining dollars each semester to use in other dining locations, and 8 meal swipes per week.
The article was copy-edited by Annamaria DeCamp '27 and web-edited by Zexuan Qu '28. It's important to note that, while this incident caused a stir on campus, if it were to happen to a more important building like the Capitol, it could potentially jeopardize the federal government.
However, it's worth mentioning that the search results did not contain any information directly related to a peaceful protest or insurrection at Fenwick Hall on the campus of the College of the Holy Cross, nor any details about student grievances associated with such an event. This could indicate that the event is a less-documented or very recent one.
