Dear Editor,

Did you know that Meliora Hall has the fewest number of windows per occupant on campus? I counted. In case you didn’t know, Meliora Hall is where they put all the psychologists and psychology students on campus.

As it turns out, psychologists have long since documented the fact that working in windowless environments in unhealthy, they can even make people sick!

Is this some kind of twisted joke?
