Candidates Enjoy Meals In Dining Halls, Nearby Restaurants

CHESTNUT HILL - The major presidential and vice presidential candidates for UGBC eat lunch, dinner, occasionally breakfast, and sometimes snacks at dining halls and local places that offer food.

A well-dressed team suggests a night on the town.

Nick Domino and Katrina Lutfy posed for the paparazzi at El Pelon Taqueria, which is directly across Commonwealth Avenue from Lower Campus.

"Some of my favorites include tacos, burritos, and taco specials that come with one additional taco," Lutfy said over a spread of guacamole and tortilla chips.

A spokeswoman for the restaurant, who spoke on a condition of anonymity due to her presence behind the cash register, said that since the candidates were not wearing their El Pelon shirts in the photo, they could not be featured on the wall of customers behind them. Domino countered that the employee could not be a part of the campaign without her Nick Domino shirt.

As the tee-shirt taco deadlock continued, Mike Kitlas and Jill Long were busy with their campaign at a large table in Corcoran Commons.

Lower brought out the tablecloths for their royal guests.

But the sea of maroon and gold was not pleased when headmaster Dumbledore announced that Slytherin placed first in the annual House Cup, and the opposing side of the room erupted in cheers.

"That'll show you!" shouted a jubilant Draco Malfoy.

Suddenly, the world righted itself.

"And, for outstanding bravery in light of difficult elections, I award 250 points to Mike Kitlas of Gryffindor," Dumbledore said, to an approving Rubeus Hagrid.

The tide of crimson and goldenrod danced in approval as the colors of Lower changed from green to red.

Meanwhile, Mike Joyce and 12 of his best friends wolfed down a final meal before the primary elections.

Take this, and eat it. This is my body, and I love it this week.

"Tomorrow I will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven," Joyce proclaimed. "But tonight, he who dippeth his hand into the mozzarella sticks with me shall betray me."

All the students turned side to side.

"Not I," said Justin Portes.

"Nor I," said the girl in the hard hat.

Then, Kyle Iscariot, CSOM '13, took a mozzarella stick and fled the table. He received 30 pieces of silver from a recruiter at Goldman Sachs.

Joyce concluded by raising a pomegranate limeade Odwalla.

"Take this, all of you, and drink it. This is my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven," He said. Then he bowed his head and prayed.

Observers note that the Last Supper had to be held in McElroy because the party of 13 was 5 too many for 2000 Comm. Ave.
