With Thanksgiving around the corner, many families will gather to feast on the traditional foods. While the existence of the holiday has questionable origins for some, it is an undeniable American tradition. 

Saint Patrick’s Day, celebrated on March 17, falls on Monday.

There is something different about the lawn in front of Founders Hall; it is not like the rest of the grass on campus, it is dead. If the dead grass was not a big enough eyesore there is also an abnormal sized rock on the grass that sits on top of a slab of concrete.

Tradition is now being tested as the grass around the Rock has been dying, due to paint runoff from the circular platform and being absorbed by the soil. Despite ecological damage, suspending action to further paint this Rock is now, well, untraditional.

However, one of the few traditional symbols we have on campus is now inaccessible to students. It was not buried away or torn down, but simply chained off.

As the semester draws to a close, and the holidays are just around the corner, we have decided to put together our own wish list for the University of La Verne.
