Discuss “Administration whitewashes ‘threat’”

Friday was a colorful day for the Fence. At midnight, a group of students painted the Fence to advertise Bhangra in the Burgh, which took place Saturday night at Soldiers & Sailors. Between 5 a.m. and sunrise, the event ad painted on the fence was replaced by a message in black and white — “No illegals… no burritos… You better think twice America.” The letters M-E-X-I-C-O ran across the fence’s posts.

The message got students talking. But what many students considered the most contentious part of the painting was a third coat of paint applied around 3 p.m. on Friday. Several students saw a Facilities Management Services (FMS) employee using a roller to apply a new thick coat of white paint to the Fence to cover the message.
