The puppy debate

Dear House,

Flora seems to think that a newborn puppy looks exactly like a rolly polly potato. I tend to disagree and I also feel that the puppy should not be compared to such mediocre food. Please, if anything we could say that a newborn puppy resembles saffron, or truffles in terms of quality and taste. I have said my bit. Thank you for listening,

what is feitler?

feitler is an alternative to dorm living at bard. this is how things work:
food: the money that we would pay to chartwells for a meal plan instead goes to a common fund that we use to buy our own food. every 2 weeks, a truck from united national food co. drops us off a load of bulk ingredients, fresh veggies, and treats. we also order produce from angelos, a local food distributor, get bread delivered from tivoli bakery, and in the fall we have a farm share at hearty roots csa and are frequent visitors to the montgomery place farm stand. we are not all vegans, some of us aren't even vegetarian, but we cook vegan meals 5 days a week. we like to share our bounty and we love to have dinner guests.
cleaning: aramark employess do not clean feitler as they do other dorms, and we take turns cleaning up after dinner, have weekly chores, and have monthly house cleanings. 
decision making: we have weekly house meetings where we strive to make decisions by consensus.
how to live at feitler: because the house only has room for ten, people who want to live at feitler have to apply to do so. we post applications (around campus and through announce) every spring, and sometimes in the fall. keep an eye out for them if you think feitler-living might be for you.
