ZachTheZip Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 It's a slow week, and it's friday, so I decided to take a nice walk around campus. While walking, I realised two things: UA's campus is much more extensive than what many people think, and that I need to get a better cameraphone.Most people bound their concept of UA's borders by enclosing it inbetween the railroad tracks, Exchange, Spicer or route 8, and Buchtel. Nobody ever visits the Hower House, they have no idea where to go is they have to cross a street anymore. They consider anything not within their already set bounderies as "outside", and outside is a scary place. Here's some pics from my stroll. See if you can guess where they are taken from, or what building is shown. Kind of a game. They're kind of blurry, but you should be able to recognise a few places, while others you might not have ever known existed. Try and name them all. If you know them all, I will be very impressed.1.2.3.4.5.6. Quote

Very nice job.The Phi Delta Theta house was completely demolished yesterday, over the course of about 5 hours. The frat guys had a party and everything right outside the construction fence. Try as I might, I found out absolutely no information as to why they tore it down. My guess would be to make more parking since we are going to be in an even tighter parking crunch this time next year. Quote
