It began with little white stickers on Adams House ID cards. Now it is a full-fledged war.
Tensions between Adams and Pforzheimer House residents escalated Wednesday when a group of four unknown males entered Adams' dining hall at about 4:15 p.m. and removed the House's famous gong used during meals to make announcements. In recent months, the gong has been used to chide unwelcome dinner...
According to Peggy A. McNamara, HUPD spokesperson, an Adams Dining Hall employee tried to stop the students. A scuffle ensued, and the employee managed to recover the gong's wooden frame before the four students fled in a motor vehicle, McNamara said.
The war began earlier in the month, when Adams House put white stickers on its students' IDs to enforce its strict inter-House dining policy.
In retaliation, the Pforzheimer House Committee proposed a vote to ban Adams students from eating in their dining hall. The vote failed.
