Dr. Joseph Tadie’s, SMU assistant professor of philosophy, junior Lasallian honors class teamed up with one of Gary Diomandes’s, chair of theatre arts, theater classes and the Minneapolis Heart of the Beast Puppet-Mask Theater (HOBT) to promote the use of the many drinking fountains on campus.

The classes decorated drinking fountains, presented statistics in the plaza and worked with HOBT to lead a procession around campus. The procession began in the Toner Student Center and went through the Adducci Science Center, LaSalle Hall and Saint Mary’s Hall, stopping at various drinking fountains to provide demonstrations explaining the importance of water.

Students, faculty and staff were welcome to join one of the processions and were sometimes given costumes to wear, props to carry or drums to beat. Costumes and drums were provided by HOBT, and a member of HOBT accompanied the procession on accordion.
