Now we're going to have to hear more keefe stories. Oh wait a minute, it was all guys back then. :-[

Are you accusing Keefe of discriminating?

This is devastating. McCormick to me was the Marquette experience.

It was all guys in my 1987-1988 tenure on McCormick 9th floor.
-
Ha, I was just hoping keefe would slip up and tell McCormick war stories. Opps! Funny, I don't think I know what year McCormick went from all guys to coed. I'm guessing the 90s. Anybody know for sure?
-
Tear it down. It's a dump.
-
Long overdue.
That corner can really be made to shine with some open space.
-
It was coed in 99 when I was there. Man we did some stuff to that place.
For no real reason that I can recall other than I had duct tape and was bored, I duct taped the elevator doors closed on my floor so well they wouldn't open and busted the elevator that left people trapped in it for at least a couple of hours.
oooppsss

Does MU own the property on the west side of 16th(Walgreens)? Would be good to get rid of that too.

Walgreens, the Ardmore, Cafs, and DPS/SSP aren't going anywhere.
-
OD is closing this year too. Man, that campus is losing some of the character we love and remember.

The Ardmore building is private property. And from what I hear, the apartments are still in pretty good shape.

No one has ever said the OD closure was permanent.

That character is rundown and crappy.

I'm fine with the apartments and Cafs but always hated that crappy walgreens
-
I was on the 7th floor in 84-85. It was borderline obsolete then.
-
Just to clarify the 16th block. The only property NOT owned by MU in the WI/Wells/16th/17th block is the Ardmore building.

Eng, what you did I'm sure paled in comparison to the stuff your forefathers pulled.

38 years after moving into McCormick, the only active friendships I still have with are from McCormick Hall.
-
RIP 401.
Your removable window screen for hauling up beer cases will be missed.

Maybe we need to have a conversation with the VP of Real Estate at Walgreens. He is a Marquette grad.
That being said, Walgreens has no incentive to improve because it has a captive market. I had heard rumors that a CVS was going into the Ivy apartment building, but that didn't happen.

In hindsight, I think I say the same also. People I'm still in contact with lived on my floor mostly in my wing rooms 901 to 915.
-
This shouldn't be in Superbar.
I started a new thread in Hanging at the Al
-
Any 919 residents?
-
McCormick was quite dumpy even when I was a freshman during the 1978-79 school year ... but I loved it anyway.
Great location, near the rec center, nightlife and all of my classrooms. Great memories of keggers, which back then the school encouraged.
And my best friends are still guys from freshman year.
I'll miss that effen Beer Can In The Sky!

Still don't understand why they had "wings" for each floor. Just make it one big circle of rooms and be done with it.
Got in a drunken argument with my roommate (high school friend and groomsmen in each others weddings), he chased me out of the room, down the hall and I "escaped" into the other wing. Came walking back to see my clothes flying out the door, followed by my mattress. He and I semi-wrestled each other for about 30 seconds before we started laughing......went out to grab my mattress and we found our buddy from down the hall passed out on it, at 11PM on a Friday night. Yanked the mattress out from under him which spun him into the wall, which gave him a bloody lip but didn't wake up for another hour.
That place was the best.

6th floor 84-85. i'd take out the word borderline - i can't imagine being a frosh in the last 15 years and staying there.

They opened McCormick my Senior Year, fall '68. Wonder how Schroeder has survived all these years.

Schroeder was completely renovated around 92/93.

Schroeder is actually a much better building, albeit much older. McCormick was built somewhat 'on the cheap'. In terms of actual age, it might have been the most recently built of all the dorms currently utilized. Marquette is blessed that the general campus area contained numerous old prestigious hotels that were remodeled into dormitories long before most of us were born. Those building were built to last. I suspect many of you have never been inside McCabe, opened maybe 5-6 years ago after a major retrofit. The construction is simply magnificent. What true Milwaukee craftsmen were capable of 80-100 years ago is incredible.

One of my best buds brought a unicycle to MU and would ride around the floors of the beer can
We'd also try to see how far we could bend a frisbee around the hallway

I lived in Schroeder 93-94 and it was all newly renovated. Was actually really nice.
-
Hall sports were the best. We played bags in the hallway in front of the elevators, another game we played was as a group you had to juggle a soccer ball and if you were the person who missed it or shanked it 3 times, you had to bend over head to the wall and everybody else got a chance to kick the soccer ball at you.
Also, those walls were thin. Almost everyone on the wing knew when someone else had a lady over.

McCormick was designed to be all singles with a matching tower in Shyatt Field #1 to be connected by bridges. Still, today, it is MU's newest dorm, slowly sinking.

Same here. Three of my best friends to this day all lived on the 10th floor of McCormick 1988-89.

I did some serious fornicatin' in that building...

I saw Diane Wiest at the Yale Rep in Samuel Beckett's Happy Days over the weekend as she performed what is essentially a 1.5 actor show. It's a very very odd show and it's called the women's Hamlet as she is basically "stuck in place in the ground" reciting her lines the entire time. The actor who plays her husband has very few lines and is seen more than heard. One of his few lines, he screams, "Fornication!" and then starts laughing.

I don't know who you guys were allegedly fornicating with, but the Marquette girls I knew did a lot less putting out then what you guys claim you were getting.
Did you have a few slutty girls that you passed around or something?

There's a pretty significant assumption in that question, Chick.

Fighter Pilot Rules:
Three F Rule: If it floats, flies, or...fornicates it's cheaper to rent
The only three transmissions allowed from a Wingman:
1. "Bingo"
2. "Dash One you are on fire"
3. "I'll take the fat one"
Go ugly early - a kill's a kill
Always fly or fornicate inverted at least once on every mission
Keep your scan going - constantly
Speed is life
Fight like you fornicate
