So it seems like a lot of threads go off on tangents of people remembering their MU days so why not have all these memories in one place? That and I always love reading the stories of how different MU was.

After hearing Dr. Rhodes lament the 'good old days' when students would bring pitchers of beer to class in the afternoon, showing up on the last day of class with a case of Special Export (reported to be his favorite) and passing them around.....in a 9 AM class.

Junior year, the poli sci prof (just visiting MU for the year, I don't recall his name) lamented that all of the classrooms on campus were locked for the weekend so there was nowhere to have a review session for the final. He was skeptical when the class suggested Hegarty's, but we ultimately convinced him. It turned out that he had a weakness for Guinness. So, while the class plied him with Guinness and quietly nursed our own beers, he gave us the list of 6 questions that he was going to choose from for the final and then, after another Guinness, gave us the outlines to each. I made good notes, boiled down the outline for each of the questions to fit on a 3 x 5 card, filled a blue-book in 45 minutes, and aced the final. To this day, I am not sure if we played him or if he played us. Doesn't matter.

IIRC, Tower, we were in school at the same time--in the spring of '85, I took a poly sci class in ethical decision making from Joseph Nye, a visiting prof from Harvard - I think the Allis Chalmers visiting something or other. One of the most interesting classes I had at MU, though if it was the same guy, I missed that review!

The visiting Prof was the spring of 87. Youngish, intense, bearded guest prof.

No, but during the internet's early years at MU, there were MUD nights on our 9600 and 14.4k baud modems.

Technology circa 1982: connecting Radio Shack dial pad to a boom-box and holding the boom-box next to our rotary dial dorm phone to key in our MCI passcode to make cheap long distance calls.

No, there was no internet when I attended.

On another note I do remember one the rights of passage while at MU was to take the brewery tours: Pabst, Schlizt and Miller; always had free samples at the end and never carded anyone for proof of age. Back then you could drink beer at 18 throughout the state except in Milwaukee and a few other counties in south east Wisconsin so they sort of looked the other way.

We also had to wear shirts and ties for the evening meal. There was a curfew of 11 pm for men and 10:30 pm for women Sunday through Thursday; Midnight for the ladies and 1 am for the gents on weekends.

In early November they had a big tip off parade down West Wisconsin Avenue to open the basketball season; all the Frats, Sororities and other student Organizations would compete for the best float.

That is incredible for me to think about. Shirts and ties at dinner? Also hilarious that women had an earlier curfew than men.
