Reckless Moron Bravely Enters MSC Without Removing Beanie

Having braved the long, arduous walk from her Hart Hall dorm room, freshman Jackie Hill stunned all onlookers when she passed over the threshold of the Memorial Student Center (MSC) without removing the maroon and white beanie from her head. The beanie in question was not taken off until Hill had claimed an empty table and unpacked her backpack in the Flag Room, an act that took an estimated ten minutes.

“I didn’t even think about it,” Hill said when asked about the incident. “I was so focused on getting a table away from the piano that I didn’t even think about the beanie until I was already all set up.” While she did not notice her transgression, approximately 37 other students and visitors in the MSC did.

Like many other students, Hill has taken to wearing a beanie around campus to protect her head and ears from the recent cold weather. As a living memorial, the MSC requests visitors to remove their hats with a printed diagram of someone taking their hat off at all entrances. Some students, however, are confused about what is considered a hat. While some Aggies have taken a hard stance on all nonreligious head coverings, many are too busy and too cold themselves to point the beanie issue out.

When interviewed byThe Mugdown, Hill said that she does not consider a beanie an official hat. “I don’t think a beanie is the same thing as a baseball cap in terms of disrespect,” Hill said. “But if someone had told me to take the beanie off, I probably would have.”
