Still, it was a good landmark during the first few weeks of freshman year, and I saw enough weird Dead Week stunts and pranks on my visits there to make it memorable. I'll miss it. And it's weird to think of a building regarded as pretty new when I arrived on campus in 1971 being old enough to face demolition.

I think it was the first Dead Week after UGLY opened when in the middle of the evening, some guy came to the bottom of the main stairwell and shouted (something like) "All right all you rich people, I want to see you all down here for calesthenics in 10 minutes." A reference to Jason Robard's character in "A Thousand Clowns," a movie that if you haven't seen it, you definitely should.

Great movie and great line, indeed!  But, I thought it was "volleyball"...at least that's what I've always said.  I'll have to look it up, I guess.
