...Minor thievery from sandwich shops and stores around the plaza...
Summoned by a really mysterious conclave of concerned citizens, mostly graduate students, I wandered down to Soldiers' Field with a sandwich and several friends.

With great glee, Kunen relates second-hand The Ad Hoc Faculty Sandwich Decision -- a scenario in which votes have been taken, dissident factions reconciled and the body has determined how it will mediate the battle between jocks blocking off the entrance to an occupied building and any protestors trying to pass in food. Kunen discovers the trouble with the liberals as he talks...
