Quincy Residents Support Graffito

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Despite a rash of recent criticism, Quincy House residents have voiced almost unanimous satisfaction with their much-discussed mural. A poll published in the Quincy Mascle shows that most students are willing to keep the work, a few are enthusiastic about its merits, and only a negligible minority wish to have it removed.

The composition in question is a blue, red, and yellow graffito, designed by Constantine Nivola, which covers the west wall of the Quincy dining hall.

In the past few weeks several alumni have objected to the mural and called for its removal. Most Quincyites, according to the Mascle, feel these "old men" should "mind their own business."

Taking its own survey, the CRIMSON found a wide range of opinion. Some students thought the graffito was "the finest thing in Quincy House," while others said it reminded them of the "Bick or Waldorf." One critic even threatened to "profane" the work.
