Is it or isn’t it Proctor?

Last Friday’s Alumni sponsored mimosa brunch revealed two very interesting things: 1) That alumni recruiters don’t waste any time or resources getting you to contribute to Midd’s now decreasing endowment and 2) A brand new Proctor and Wood Stove Lounge.

Point 1) aside, I found Point 2) to be incredibely interesting. The newly rennovated Wood Stove Lounge was the Class of 2009′s Senior Gift and the brief glimpse afforded by the reception left many people doing a double take. While I personally like the whole Generation-Y version of a 1950s style diner that the formerly grandma decorated dining hall has turned into, I can already hear next year’s debates–is it or isn’t it still Proctor?

A reader and mimosa-reception attendee has graciously provided pictures to help you start forming your dining plans for next year.

Sita Wins Proctor Chair Contest!

sita1Julie Hoyenski of Facilities Services tells us what’s up with the recent voting for the new Proctor Chairs!

The Sita won! 326 students expressed their opinion; breakdown as follows: 122 Sita, 106 Cachet, 98 Orono

Outstanding comments: “I wanna sita on it” and “I wanna make love in this chair” (wow…)

Julie continues, “FYI – the finish color of the wood may be different from the sample chair I had to show, and we will definitely be ordering the chair with the cut-out/handhold opening in the seat back. The cut-out makes it easier to move & stack the chair. I was surprised at how excited the students were about having the chance to see these chairs. It was great! Especially when groups of friends came together and stayed to debate the merits of each chair. We know that students like to tip back and balance on the back legs of a chair, so we specifically look for chairs engineered to hold up to that. The one “test” I did not anticipate was the “slouch test.” Some students made a point of slouching down in each chair to see if it was still comfortable at that angle. Sita won the slouch test, hands down!”

Props to Facilities and Julie for creating an open and fun process for students to get involved.
