With Locke's becoming a thing of the past, the new replacement and sponsor for most of Manhattan's meals is Taco Bell, Brother Scanlan announced last week. Taco Bell is uprooting the unpopular Sodexho and bringing all you can eat tacos to Manhattan College.
Jaspers on campus were nothing short of excited for Sodexho's abrupt and unforeseen exit from the Manhattan College community. One freshman kept chanting over and over in a puzzling daze, "Chalupa, Chalupa! Give me my chalupas!"
The transformed Lockes will now be open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, serving a variety of Mexican food. The soup station will now be serving chili, the deli will provide ingredients for students to make their own tacos, while enchiladas, chaluuppas, burritos, and quesadillas will also be available. Choco-tacos will be served for dessert.
The school was so excited about this addition that on Friday, the school's president made a shocking announcement.
"Today, I have come to announce that the Jasper will no longer be our school mascot.
With cooperation from the Taco Bell Corporation, our new mascot will be the Taco Bell Chihuahua."
After the initial shock of the announcement, Chihuahuas on campus began to accept that they would no longer be chanting Jasper at school basketball games. "It's more syllables, so it'll be harder to chant, but I think that it's worth it," said one avid basketball fan, who loves Taco Bell just as much as he loves college ball.One ecstatic sophomore exclaimed, "No one knew what the hell a Jasper was any ways!"
"Look, if I have the privilege to eat as many tacos as I want, I'm willing to have my friends make fun of me for going to a school where a tiny barking dog is our mascot. It's worth it. I need my tacos!", said Bailey McTwitney, a senior Chihuahua.
Despite the overall excitement, a handful of resident Chihuahuas worried about the possible effects of Taco Bell coming to Manhattan College. "This is getting out of hand. What if they change our name to Chihuahua College? How am I supposed to get a job after college with the name Chihuahua College on my resume?!", said one Chihuahua, who asked not to be name in fear of a revolution against any Taco Bell haters.
