Stephanie’s Perspective on the First Day of Session

Journalist Stephanie Landaverde (OSU)

It’s the first day of spring session 2022. I walk into our venue and find that it is an interesting change from the hotel venue of the fall session. Fez hats align the South-Western wall, watching over a “Blessed are the children” poster. Along the NW wall, there is a long line of glass cabinets adorned with everything from trophies to clowns and of course, more fez hats. Along the Southern wall, there are a number of paintings and a large photographic collection of illustrious potentates, all wearing fez hats. The Eastern wall has a large mural, depicting several injured or disabled children being helped by men wearing fez hats.
