Welcome to the CTY Hall of Shame. The object of this page is to lambast stupidity related to CTY, meaning stupid actions, traditions, customs, and other shameful items. Acts of infamously stupid weirdness belong here, where they will receive the...um...commendation/attention they...um...deserve.

Siena CTY gets negative article in college paper

During Session 1 of 2004, the Siena student newspaper came out with an especially vicious editorial lambasting CTY students. A CTYer enrolled in the Astronomy course wrote a letter of rebuttal to the newspaper and circulated it, collecting over 50 signatures. It was presented to the site director, who said that he would look over it and submit it to the paper if he deemed it appropriate. As the paper isn't available online, the letter's fate remains unknown.


"Stairway to Heaven" cut short scandal

Okay, this page is still a work in progress, a stub article. Please contribute to it.


"Get Low" cut short scandal

At Dickinson, Session 1, 2005, at the first dance, the RAs began to play Get Low. Only the first few seconds were heard, and then, as everybody was ready to sing along, they cut it. Uproar was everywhere. This happened also with other 'controversial' songs throughout later dances, including such songs as Electric Six's Gay Bar and System of a Down's B.Y.O.B. What now?


"The Peeing Bandit"

At Skidmore College, Session 1, 2005, there was a bandit on the loose. During the last week, a boy decided to pee all over the bathroom wall. The next day, all the guys were called to a meeting, at which the RA's proceeded to threaten the guys with horrible things if no one confessed. Shortly after the meeting, the bandit struck again, and two more bathrooms were destroyed. The RA's brutally took away quad time for all the guys. The girls were in an uproar, and rumors started to circulate that the last dance was at stake. That night, the bandit struck for the last time, but was not caught. After intensive interrogations, the RA's gave up. All privileges were re-instated, but we never found out who the peeing bandit was. It might remain a CTY mystery forever.

WORD, RIMSHOT

BTW, Lee's Hall kicks ass I second that from Session 2, Skidmore, Lee's Hall, 2005. On the last day of session 2 Lee played a prank by taking all kids from his dorm out and telling them a "peeing incident" had occured.
