“LSU
students will be able to relax and enjoy all that yummy macaroni and cheese
in their last week of classes. It’s gonna be great,” remarked Jason
Sherman, UPC programming programmer.
Sherman later revealed that $175,000 was used to purchase the epic
proportions of macaroni and cheese, but he feels it was student money well
spent.
Two
weeks ago, forty-seven truckloads of uncooked macaroni and eighty trucks of
pre-melted cheddar cheese were unloaded in front of the PMAC. Members of
the UPC then began preparing the macaroni, a process that turned out to be
more tedious than expected, since only one large boiling pot was purchased.
Round-the-clock boiling, draining, and mixing had to be enacted in order to
have the PMAC ready in time for the semester’s end.

the second-best variety of cheese available. |
Rachel Gonzalez, UPC vice-council programmer, who has been tirelessly
cooking the macaroni since it was first shipped in, says that as of Monday
morning, the first ten feet of the PMAC had been filled, with around six
hundred feet of creamy noodles left to go before her job is done.
When
asked what ridiculously large quantities of delicious macaroni and cheese
have to do with final exams, LSU students, or the interaction between the
two, Sherman buried his face in his hands and wept like a child, eventually
blubbering, “I have no idea why the event exists. I only know that it must
go on without any problems or else many students won’t be able to cope with
their finals. I don’t want that on my conscience!”
Whether or not the PMAC is completely filled, the UPC encourages all
students to invite their families and friends to attend the event with them
this Friday. Pictures may be taken with non-flash cameras in front of the
macaroni and cheese, however, everyone in attendance will be prohibited from
touching or partaking of the mountains of cheesy goodness because of a
number of pointless, stubborn LSU policies that say so.
