<p>Word from one of my company’s firsties is that Rempt made a deal to have 1500 mids at the game, and Fowler backed out of it. This whole videotaping the brigade in Alumni is merely the administration trying to save face.</p>
<p>Either way, the Brigade is becoming pretty disillusioned. A couple weeks ago, the Plebe Formal was canceled because it would have taken up study time. The following day, it was announced at noon meal that everyone would be permitted to miss study hour to attend some non-essential event (I don’t recall exactly what it was).</p>
<p>Now, their excuse for not allowing mids on MO to the Pitt game is that it’s during the week and class AND study hour would be missed. Now they’re just eating up valuable time by having us sit in Alumni while we could be studying for some important tests.</p>
<p>Like I said above, I don’t know of ANYONE who wants to go to Alumni to watch the game. When BC said the Brigade wanted to watch the game, I’m sure he meant for something along the lines of “allow us to use the wardrooms for those who want to watch”…not “hey, let’s waste the Brigade’s evening by forcing them into Alumni for four hours.”</p>
