No... Quentin is absolutely referring to McCormick. Charles Stewart is
well known for having very strong feelings about the in-house dining
program and implementing policies even over the head of the house
government to ensure it conforms to his vision. I remember a few years
ago a bit of a hubbub erupted when, in the name of "community building,"
he moved to ban the use of take-out containers so that students wouldn't
have the option of taking the food upstairs to eat in their room or
floor lounges.
I'm all for dorm community, but I find it frustrating when
administrators and professors attempt to artificially construct it
through policy mandates designed to limit or control student choice.
