One misplaced book in the Dewick-McPhee Dining Hall threatens to unravel the very fabric of Tufts’ community. Encased within the faded leather cover of an unassuming diary reveals the vindictive attitude of the Dining Hall workers towards cutlery-thieves, messy eaters, and students with glasses. Taken directly from the pages of the book, certain unsigned passages attribute cruel nicknames to students, reading, “I would shank Musty Meghan if she hadn’t just stolen all of the knives,” and “Sloppy Simon is nasty, does he just spit onto the table?” and “I hate students with glasses. They are the bane of my existence. Can we break their glasses? Nasty Nerds. Vomit.” For now, the trust between students and dining workers remains fragile. We at the Zamboni can only guess at what the future may hold.
