The gathering place for LU alumni to wax nostalgic about their glory days and tell current students how easy they have it. Old hags & bright-eyed and bushytailed recent grads both welcome.

3. You thought open dorms was the social event of the semester

4. You've thrown marshmallows at a football game

19. You've had a professor trying to find you a date

20. Most of the alcoholic beverages you drank in college came in a bottle marked "Nyquil"

21. After you tell people where you went to college, you follow it up with the phrase "it wasn't that bad."

22. You know what your dorm number was, but have no idea what its name was

23. You've heard many times how to start a Baptist Church with 35 charter members

24. You've "gotten some action" on the mansion lawn, the pit, or a sports field

Dorm 7 is Maple Leaf, I believe because the cash for it was donated by some of our neighbors to the North.

38. You grow your hair out long and go back to homecoming, where you are eyed suspiciously and approached by "classic era" professors, where you casually remark, "Not a student."

39. Ten years after you graduate, you still get applications to "attend LU after you graduate high school."

40. The high school teams in your home city play football in larger stadiums.

41. When college comparison talk comes up at work, you hope a Radford graduate is around to absorb most of the jokes.

I had 2 roommates who proposed in the front seat of parked cars. One was sitting at a stoplight!

(The stoplight couple are still married w/ 2 kids, the other never made it down the aisle.)

48. You know the story of Liberty so well that you can recite it backwards.

Twenty years later you still have callouses on your behind from sitting on a wooden pew or metal chair or in the bleachers or on a linoleum hallway floor "listening" to sermons twice on Sunday morning, Sunday evening, Monday morning, Wednesday morning, Wednesday evening, Friday morning, Super Conference, Campus revival week, hall meeting for four years in a row!

You spent four years living with four people in a 12x12 "room", one mirror, one sink and/or midnight urinal, two closets - 'nuff said! :P

you ate at a place called SAGA which was more affectionately known as Soviet Attempt to Gag America!

alright, that's not cool.


We had this discussion a few times in the dorm and we always concluded on the fact that you should just go down the hall to the bathroom

Welcome to the board, FYW. Its great to have another old hag (affectionate self description of ourselves) on the board.

As for the sink/urinal point, I'm with you brother.

Thanks for the welcome Sly Fox! Glad I discovered this location and its nice to be a HAG! I will attempt to contribute here and at on other threads during operational pauses.

I must admit though I never actually employed the sink in that manner but at least one roommate did. And PA I did not know that porcelein would crack at a certain temperature! What were you burning - warnings or reprimands?
