Sticky note window art and messages are well loved traditions at Heritage Halls. Since the students who live there don’t have a dining hall or communal bathroom to make friends in, obviously the next best option is to spell your phone or room number on your window to call the whole world over to make friends.

This common love for this tradition made it very difficult for Heritage Halls residents when BYU banned the practice last week. “Sharing personal information with anyone who happened to walk past is bad enough, but when we saw a ‘that’s what she said’ joke in a window, it was the last straw,” explained Heritage Halls management representative, Mikey Scottson. “We simply cannot have that kind of gross innuendo on the campus of the Lord’s University.”

Students all over Heritage Halls have been protesting the ban of sticky note messages by forming letters with their bodies and standing in front of their windows for hours. Their dedication to the cause is impressive, and at least three students have passed out from locking their knees too long in an effort to properly shape their letter.

One such student, Johnathon Halingsberg, commented, “Sure, it hurts to stand up there in a letter shape for so long, and yeah, I’m failing my classes since I’ve been too busy to attend lectures, but hey, at the end of the day, having ‘I am Beyonce, always’ up in my window makes it all worth it.”
