Claire McNear, an op-ed columnist for the Maroon, has once again proven her wide readership. She’s inspired a Scav Item.
On January 25′th McNear penned a classic article about that balloon in Bartlett dining hall.
“There it hangs, far, far above the center of the dining hall, lingering like an ominous red foil bird,” McNear explained, “forever perched and ready to dive down upon whatever student it deems unworthy of a spot in the hall.”
Now, a correspondent informs The Maroon that her prose has once again been immortalized in print–this time slightly differently:
“198. What’s worse than that balloon in Bartlett? That’s right - having to read an article in The Maroon about that balloon in Barlett. I think it’s time it came down, don’t you?
11 points to bring the balloon down, 14 points to bring the Maroon down.”
N.b. Hacking aside, The Maroon’s office is in a basement already, there is nowhere “down” to go; it’s only dirt. Plus, our EIC has a cell phone, and he knows how to dial 911 on it

Snell-Hitchcock secured the heart-shaped balloon with the aide of another more-inflated balloon early Thursday morning.

However, they have yet to “bring down” the Maroon.
