Transition Point
A beautiful sight on The Commons' 2nd floor: two rivals for UMBC's affections enjoy a brief, fragile coexistence. But it will not last--probably not even past today. Farewell, Coke machine. I used to despise you for rejecting my slightly folded or crumpled bills, but lately you've been quite accommodating. Welcome, Pepsi machine. I'm a little affronted that you plan to charge 25 cents more than Coke, but I'll forgive you if you add Diet Mountain Dew to your colorful menu.
I'm a little confused by what the slogan on this recycling container means now. I used to think it meant that we should give our bottles back to be recycled. But now that UMBC has become a Pepsi campus, does the slogan mean Coke is demanding the return of this container?
