Ren Provey!

Here at Recess it is our ongoing mission to observe and, if possible, grope the culture of the student body. Seeing that the spiffy promenade outside the WEL had not yet been christened, we took to the streets, put our ears to the well and listened for the people's voice. Anticipating that this voice would be meek and muttered, we provided voters in advance with some well-intentioned options.

The least well-received entry of these was editor Greg Veis' offering, "WEL of Fortune," which had no votes. The punning was somewhat more tolerable after that: The "WEL, Hello There," the "WEL Endowed" and "The Gates of WEL" received an equal number of votes. Coming just ahead of them on the official ballot was the "Wizzle Edensheezy Liznizzle," or quite simply, "The Wizzle." Colorful write-ins included: "Highway to WEL" and "The Cell Phone Service Walkway."

But the voting process has been tinged with controversy, as one write-in--"The Renald Provey Commemorative Memorial Walkway"--received almost more votes than all the rest combined. It turns out that Provey was not in fact a construction worker who died on the job and whose body lies buried in the foundation; instead, Ren is a very alive Trinity junior. We will be contacting Ren with our decision on whether he can commemorate a walkway to the memory of himself.
