RE: Random Thoughts From Bearcat Nation
I was at a grad party this weekend for one of my daughter's soccer teammates and she mentioned she will be living on Calhoun 11. When did that heap become a co-ed dorm?

When I was Calhoun (87-88) there were plenty of girls living there but it was definitely not their university assigned room. 02-13-banana

My year Calhoun 6 was the engineering floor but there were some many we ended up overrunning 7 and 5 as well. I was on 5 right next to a pledge leader for Kappa Alpha Psi. During hell week they had 20 extra guys living in one room. They all dressed in fatigues, only turned in 90° angles, carried painted bricks everywhere, and practiced a elaborate dance with a cane. Also got some abuse from the redneck brigade since pledges were not allowed to talk to anyone not in the frat. After they pledged they all went back and educated a few rednecks 04-chairshot

Calhoun was co-ed in 2006. We had to have a floor vote to allow the bathrooms to be co-ed on our floor.

FWIW, Calhoun and Siddall are officially slated for full makeovers with the glass facades ala Morgen and Scioto on Jefferson.

Rath. Me and a few friend would always hit the Bearcat Cafe Exam week. LOL.

Used to pop in to the Bearcat Cafe every now and then on the walk up from Stratford ave, where I lived for a time. Joeys was the go to deli for beer and emergency supplies. Loved Joey. Good cat. Burgundys for Tuesday night fraternity nonsense.Sudsy Malones for beer and laundry when we could not get into one of the local room mates house. Fries was for shooting stick away from the girlfriends, won and lost many a coin in that establishment. Corey's for the aforementioned H Bomb, plus Big Joe Duskin, and Pig Meat Jarret. JCs and Ripleys for the rest of it. Uncle Woody's was always good for a calmer time.

There was some place on Calhoun we used to stop in at on the weekends about 11:50, because they played Hawaii 5-0 at midnight and we would all get down on the floor and do some rowing. Then we would leave and go elsewhere.

I learned about the Space Shuttle Challenger crash while sitting on the pot in the Langsam Library. Some guy - who was obviously very upset and wanted someone to talk to - walked in to the otherwise empty bathroom and asked a couple times, "Is anyone in here?" I finally responded, at which time I was informed that the Challenger had sploded.

In the 80's, the cheerleading squad resorted to recruiting outside the Tangeman McDonald's. A female cheerleader gave me the sales pitch as I was leaving with my Chicken McNuggets.

I was in Baldwin Hall. There were a LOT of sad aerospace engineers, both due to the loss of the astronauts and because they were watching their future jobs go up in smoke that day.

Heard about the Challenger Crash while shopping at the UC Bookstore which at the time was in the lower level of was it Braunstein?

The lines at that McDonalds were epic...20-30 people deep and 10 registers open at peak times. Think it was the highest volume McDs back in its day.

Loved Rhine Room pizza and Mr. Jim's.
Wondered if the people sitting in the TV room next to Mr. Jims ever went to class...or if they majored in General Hospital.

...and the first on campus McDonald's...I'm surprised McDonald's didn't put another one on UC's campus.
