[Quiet Man Cometh]

Call it philosophical differences. And I don't think the arts deparment really has one. The engineering department is older I think, and has red jackets with the knight on the back, along with a compass I believe (the geometrical one). There might well be something Masonic about it. *Shrug.*

Arts isn't always taken seriously as an educational persuit, so I think that's part of it. Think of any stereotypical story of the kid who's parents want him to be a lawyer or a scientist of a business man and then said kid runs off to be an artist or poet. It's not so much a war perhaps, as more good natured (I think) roasting back and forth. It's nothing damaging. he arts students do things like paint the "E" on the engineering sign to look like a tree or something and put decorations around it.
