NEW YORK- Last week, whilst the Tribune made its normal rounds, an event transpired that brutally crushed the spirit and self-esteem of the members of 202. Since the beginning, room 1702 would supply treats to “the gentz from 202,” either in the form of cookies or kit kats. “The ‘02 boiz” had come to anticipate this weekly pick-me up, as it had become a time-honored tradition, having occurred twice. However, this most recent time, no treats were offered, and “the baby bluez from 202” were excused with a quick “thank you,” and a swiftly shutting door. At first, the “daddiez from 202” stood stone still, silenced by shock.
