PETA's Most Veg-Friendly College of 2008: Last Call To Vote

Wesleyan is still battling it out against American University for the title of PETA's "Most Vegetarian Friendly College" of 2008. While both American and Wesleyan are run by Bon Appetit, the title would surely help to lure more prefrosh to Wesleyan, so go ahead and vote one last time. Voting ends November 17th.
