Students Form Anti-GUGS Club

In response to the growing popularity of the Georgetown University Grilling Society, or GUGS, several students have come together to counter these carnivorous meat lovers with a new university-sponsored club, Vegetarians Against GUGS, or VAG (same soft “g” as used in GUGS). VAG executive officers cite GUGS’s discrimination against vegetarians as the primary reason for the club’s formation. VAG president Amy Lincoln (COL ’06) told the Heckler, “Yeah they might offer veggie-burgers or whatever. But do you see any sprouts? How am I supposed to take a smooth dump without the proper roughage?”

Since its inception last week, VAG has set up its own grilling station across from the GUGS post in Red Square. There have repeatedly been much longer lines at the GUGS table than at the VAG table, but VAG members are confident that their number of customers will increase once their bean curd specialist returns from a visit home.

School administrators feel that perhaps VAG’s lack of success may be the result of a rather complicated menu. GUGS offers a straightforward assortment of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, and chicken. VAG’s menu reads as such: chickpea salad with garlic-cumin vinaigrette, savory red lentil dal, baked tofu spinach wrap, wheat berry waffles, and butternut squash.

Georgetown president Jack Degioia was seen yesterday eating a piece of grilled chicken from GUGS, with VAG red lentils on the side. Degioia finds both clubs’ cuisine scrumptious and has encouraged students to give both GUGS and VAG a chance. The clubs have considered joining forces to make a culinary monster on campus. The GUGS and VAG combination would be bad news for the cafeteria and other nearby eateries.
