Oh newspapers who went online, you have so much to learn.

Can somebody please explain Lovell's bangs?

It wasn't when I was there but isn't McCormick now kind of retro cool kind of like that sweet pic of Al, Rick, and Hank sporting bell bottoms?

No, it looks incredibly dated.  Like a lime green leisure suit worn by your creepy uncle that has a flattop and a porn 'stache

Like all the kids are sporting now....

[BrewCity83]

It's more like those macramé bucket hats made out of old Schlitz or PBR cans.  Retro cool?  Yeah.  But only in really small doses.

But now how will freshmen know they are being punished for being freshmen???

Right, gotta build character somehow, hey?

[NCMUFan]

When was McCormick built?

When was McCormick built?

1968

You know what else looks dated? The Star Spangled Banner. The Liberty Bell. The Holy Sepulchre. The Coliseum. Should we tear these all down in the name of shiny new things? Where is Marquette's sense of heritage? Sense of the holy?

Some things are worth saving

Yep McCormick ain't one of them

It's weird that when I come across things from my childhood they are always smaller in reality than I remember.

I am guessing Room 1012 in McCormick is actually slightly bigger than I picture in my mind now.  I swear it seemed like you could touch both walls standing in the middle of the room.

Depends which side of the pie you were on. Closer to the door, absolutely you could touch both walls. Near the window it was quite a bit wider.

I'm fairly certain there are prisons built with more comfortable rooms.

I was being facetious if you couldn't tell

I agree with this analysis.

[rocket surgeon]

 
   i would bet if they did an auction for the room #'s, and/or the doors with the room #'s they would make some nice coin

$1000 for room #910-God knows what all went on behind that door before 10pm week nights, 12 on weekends?  or was it 1 a.m. on weekends?  hell, if ya weren't done by 10, you were missing out on some good drinkin time anyway

I couldn't.
You got two of us, so I guess you were being multi-facetious.   

[ChicosBailBonds]

Good news.

I can get behind MU on this.

Great memories, but what an eyesore.

Chick, how do you know what a porn 'stache looks like?

[Tugg Speedman]

If MU wants to hold a raffle with the winner getting to detonate this piece of crap, I would pay big bucks for tickets.

FYI - Freshman year sixth floor, 1981 McCormick Alumni

The old BMU was described very well as " a Chevy showroom"  and now they plan to rid West Wisconisn of the Beercan?  Oh man, I can't take it.  All five of my dad's sons lived there as freshmen in the 1980s.
I do wonder about this over educated PC "architect".   "Such a center would be holistic, offering spiritual and mental guidance in addition to fitness options such as a gym." she said."   Yeah, get your yoga down, but actually learn about Ignatius of Loyola and Jacques Marquette and what it means to be Catholic today?
