Students Affirm Water Contamination Acceptance
Last Sunday, students at Holy Cross University were treated to an unexpected surprise at The Hogan Oval, or The Hoval, as it's fondly known. A Ben & Jerry's ice cream truck rolled in, causing a long line and excitement among students. However, the unusual circumstances surrounding this visit have left some questioning the truck's true intentions.
The truck, unlike the usual ones, had no regular workers. Instead, a tall man with a white beard and a cigar was in charge. After an hour of handing out ice cream and chipwiches, a student accidentally caused the truck's sign to fall, revealing a previous sign that read "Edgar Von IckLevon, Esq." with the capital letters spelling "EVIL, E."
This revelation sparked concern among students, particularly Harry Moron, another student at Holy Cross. Moron expressed his worries about the mysterious ice cream man's actions, fearing potential harm. Unfortunately, it seems his fears were not unfounded.
It has since been reported that about 200 gallons of oil have spilled into Lake Quinsigamond and the Worcester community, with rumours suggesting a connection to the enigmatic ice cream truck. The truck, it appears, left The Hoval and went to Lake Quinsigamond, where it is alleged that it dumped a gallon of oil into the lake for every signature it received.
This incident casts a shadow over the otherwise joyous events that took place at Holy Cross last week. The Accepted Students Day, which included tours and food trucks, and the Battle of the Roommates event, hosted by Holy Cross's Residence Hall Association and offering prizes worth up to $700, were marred by the mysterious ice cream man's actions.
The Homerathon, a Classics tradition, also took place on the Hoval on a different day. Each student participating in this event is given 30 minutes to read a poem, sharing epics of Homer, the one from ancient Greece. Caitlin Wiffler '27, a student at Holy Cross and a member of the Natural World Cluster, expressed a preference for "The Other One," although no further information about this was provided.
Despite these unsettling events, students at Holy Cross continue to enjoy the camaraderie and food trucks, particularly ice cream trucks, at The Hoval. The university administration is currently investigating the matter regarding the mysterious ice cream truck and the oil spill in Lake Quinsigamond. More updates are expected to be released in the coming days.
