Breakfast of...

The early princes...


... Princes. Like the change experienced by the room which hosted the breakfast, there was a change in today’s breakfast offering to the Princes of St. Edward’s. Yes, princes… that’s what Fr. Sorin called the residents of St. Edward’s… princes. What was the change and why? Well, last year, President Edwards and Vice Presidents Barrett and O’Donnell offered up Einstein bagels, various flavored yogurts, assorted breakfast treats from cherry danishes to pop tarts, and airline sized cans of orange and pineapple. Some believed this breakfast offering, which itself was a shakeup from previous years, was made to reflect recent changes in food pyramid. In truth, talking with well placed sources, the change was made simply for the sake of change. 

And so, it was the same this year… change for the sake of change. At the direction of President Gambardella and Vice Presidents Merrick and O’Brien, an assortment of Chick-Fil-A sandwiches and chicken nuggets as well as juices and milk were served for the hungry masses at Steds before they headed off to class. On the breakfast offering, David Hale, Steds freshman and resident Michigander, said, “The Breakfast of Princes was the greatest way to wake up and get ready for class. Rather than eating in the quiet and boredom of my room, I shared a delicious feast with my fellow princes.”

... get the chicken and sausage biscuits!
