View source for Alcove

The [[Alcove]] is the most modern traditionalist group that can be found at Lancaster.  It is the result of a series of evolutions and mergences between the [[LLRT]], the [[Digiclan]], and the [[Eish]].  The Alcove is more dominant during second session, which is more tradition heavy.

Generally speaking, Alcovians are the ones who hold all the traditional positions at Lancaster, including the [[Duck]], [[Jesus]], and [[Satan]] among others.  They are usually the first to run up to the speakers when a canon song is heard at a dance, and they are the ones who know all the traditions.

The Alcove always welcomes any newcomers, whether they are [[squirrel|squirrels]] or [[nomore|nomores]].  Nonetheless, some students dislike the existance of the Alcove; this led to assorted disputes during LAN.06.1.

Alcovians also generally run [[Acting Improv]], and are the originators of many inside jokes.  The cast of [[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]] on [[Second Saturday]] is usually entirely Alcovian as well.

Recently, the [[Lorekeeper]] decided that, every five years, the Alcove should receive an email that contains the entirety of the Nomore-Nomicon so that previous traditionalists could learn of all the going-ons and going-wrongs of the Alcove.

The Alcove meets in certain areas at certain times to discuss certain things, usually involving t-shirts.  The general meeting place is in Schnader first-floor lounge (or sometimes AtleeDubbs2 lounge in 06.2); Thomas, while acting as a previous hub, remains relatively empty, as it is the new office of the staff.

The Alcove, much like the LLRT, is also a specific dining room area.  It is located in the far corner of the dining room in a small, rounded room.  It is usually quite lively, and has actually been lectured by RAs in 06.2 for failure to clean up, sitting on counters, and general roudiness.  It has odd-looking lights and a window looking out to the parking lot behind South Ben, and is, in itself, an inefficient design (but we love it anyway).  The Alcove also has a sign hanging outside that says "Game Corner," which inspired the original 06.2 t-shirt.

It also has many food-based posters, which inspired the following inside joke:

ALL HAIL THE [[Island Coconut Chicken|ISLAND COCONUT CHICKEN]]!!!

    Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification.
    The Alcove (no longer in Exile) is located [http://www.ctyalcove.org here].

==The Corner==

Some Alcovians choose to sit outside the actual Alcove, tending to squeeze into a built-in table and semi-circular seat right outside, dubbed by some as "the Corner."

==The Booth==

The Booth is the booth on the opposite side of the corner.  It's kewl.
