Academic Quad

  • Bosler - Writing Courses/Humanities/Math Classes
  • Denny - Humanities/Some Math. Probably the most mysterious/secret filled academic building. It has many secret stairwells, odd rooms (such as a chapel on the third floor) and conviniently secluded spots.
  • East College - Humanities, always Political Science
  • Althouse - Science Classes
  • Weiss - Music Theory only
  • Dana - Science Classes. Dana, Weiss, and Denny are not actually on the Academic Quad, however only Dana has seperate breaks. (edit by Rae: Actually, some of Dana breaks on the Academic Quad, seeing as there is about 7 and a half square feet of grass outside of Dana)

Upper Quad

  • Quads 1-4, 6 (Quad Sex)
  • Super Quad (4-5)
  • Super Quad Arch
  • Upper Quad lawn

Lower Quad

  • Quads 7 and 8 (Known for their smell also after the flooding of 06.1)
  • Uber Quad (Quads 9 and 10) (Known for its smell, whose origins remain a mystery. edit: it smells because it's new.)
  • K-W (Academic Offices and girls dorms)
  • K-W lawn and Lower Quad lawn

The HUB

The Hub is famous for many things-

One, actually having a HUB (large, corny, irritating spiral stairwell right in the damn center. You have no idea how many people walk into the glass surrounding it)

Two, having convenient make-out areas in the downstairs vicinity

Three, always serving HUB Donuts at breakfast. And HUB potatoes (see below)

Four, The Devils Den Convenience Store.

Five, The bookstore, complete with gossip rag rack.

Six, THE COUCHES!!!!

HUB Potatoes

The HUB is famous for serving potatoes with every meal. Literally. CAR kids so love the potatoes that the RAs who wrote the weekend schedules made this haiku in the second session of 2004:

Dinner time is here
feel your stomach clench in fear
potatos draw near

This is because there is a large room in the back of the kitchen, never seen by CTYers, containing the POTATOR. the POTATOR is a giant potato that spawns whatever potato dish is required that day. For mashed, a section will fall off and liquefy. For baked, little normal-sized potatoes will pop up and fall off. Other forms of potato flesh are procured in similar manners. POTATOR regenerates itself and will never die.

According to another weekend schedule that session (or was it the same one?), HUB potatoes are people.

The ATS

Anita Tuvin Schlechter auditorium link

It's shaped really wierd! Like a triangle! And the dance floor totally moves! Everbody loves Anita Tuvin Schlechter [A-ni-ta Tu-vin Schlech-ter] and her auditorium! Everybody loves Anita SO much that we regularly refer to it as Anita Tu-vin Schlech-ters aditorium.

Added: Actually, I always thought that dear Anita looked like a man. And isn't her name just fun to say? I still say it sometimes, out of the blue...just for the heck of it.

The first time I saw her portrait was during a willy wonka themed thing and everybody was like, is that a decoration? And someone was like no thats my friend anita. And her name is always popping into my head.

Here is a photo from First Friday, session II 2006

HER NAME IS SPELLED SCHLECHTER. TWO H'S. duhh.

Kline Gym

Kline is always offered as an activity for both periods; a person can go to chill on the couches, hang out with friends on said couches (or floor, chair/table combo, open space). There is also an indoor track, basket ball course, tennis court, and an upstairs dance studio that the ballerinas use on occasion. One spot in the "basement" (track level) is good for making out... next to the soda machine.

Students with the last name of "Kline" have often been asked whether they are in any way related to the building. The answer is unequivocally no.

EDIT: Actually, there is one known student related to the person for whom the building is named.

Double-Klineing

Going to Kline for both activity periods. Everyone loves double klining.

KW

KW is where you go if you get in trouble, get sick (the Health office is in KW) or, alternatively, if you 'live' there. Halls KW-A and KW-B are in KW. KW is also referred to as, "K-Dubs."

Massey's

Massey's is the ice custard place near Dickinson that has really good shakes. I suggest a vanilla shake. Trips are rewards for good behavior, clean rooms, quiet weekends, and making sure to follow rules. Teachers and RAs must take students over, they can't go alone. Everyone loves trips there even if they don't like the treats.

The Devil's Den

The Devil's Den is a wonderful little store that sells newspapers, caffeine, snacks, sugar, cards, gum, and other little odds and ends that CTYers require (or just want really badly). They also sell contraband things like condoms, as well as odd things only colledge students would need, like ping pong balls and streamers.
