President Mark Huddleston shared more than just handshakes and conversation on Tuesday, April 18, as students passed through the courtyard between Murkland Hall and Dimond Li- brary. He also offered a buffet of sliders and other refreshments as part of the “Sliders with Mark” event. “You guys hungry?” Hud- dleston asked the students walk- ing around the area. No more than 15 minutes after the buffet opened, people began shuffl ing up the paths and scampering out of the surrounding buildings to see what the fuss was about. “This is an opportunity to in- teract with students and for them to interact with me,” Huddleston said about the event. Students waited patiently in a single fi le line while exchanging handshakes and words with the Democracy president before grabbing their sliders. The buffet was strategically set up to pull hungry college kids TNH sta writer travels to D.C. with UNH students to document their journey in one of in, with a variety of refreshments, including pulled pork and veg- theawa largest acts of civil disobedience k in the 21stens century etarian sliders, and four different By RAOUL BIRON STAFF WRITER LUNCH DEMOCRACY on Page 6 continued on Page 3 $17,570 table lights up Students bounce into Earth Fest Holloway Commons By BRENDAN CROCKAN The table is the fi nishing CONTRIBUTING WRITER touch to the multi-million dollar addition that HoCo has been go- Walking into Holloway ing through over the last year.
