Thousands of students say the rectables came as suddenly as they went. Administrators say they never existed. The questions remains: Who’s doing the lying, and is BYU covering up something much more sinister?

Last Monday, students reported that literally overnight, the circular tables in the Wilkinson Student Center were replaced with rectangle tables arrayed end to end. Opinions on the change varied. What caused the most controversy was the sudden return of the original tables, and the denial that the switch ever happened.

“We’re opting to table this discussion for now. No more questions will be answered at this time,” was the official statement from BYU admin given to the Alternate Universe. Many would agree that these brief words leave much information to be desired.

“Gaslighting! The administration has given us nothing but circular reasoning. We’ve only scratched the surface of the lies they’re burying,” said Kirtlyn Bronson, a senior studying political science.

Many students have been sharing their eye-witness testimonies on social media about the rectangle tables, but BYU still remains silent. It still remains to be seen whether BYU will be forced to come clean about the sudden table scheme.

Until then, students are left to wonder when the tables will turn.
