The Hall of Shame has also been divided by site:
During Session 1 of 2004, the Siena student newspaper came out with an especially vicious editorial lambasting CTY students.  A CTYer enrolled in the Astronomy course wrote a letter of rebuttal to the newspaper and circulated it, collecting over 50 signatures.  It was presented to the site director, who said that he would look over it and submit it to the paper if he deemed it appropriate.  As the paper isn't available online, the letter's fate remains unknown.

=="Stairway to Heaven" cut short scandal==
+
[[Category:General]]
 
 
Another editor of this page, me, heard my hallmate from Lancaster '05, Henry, that "Stairway to Heaven" got cut off sometime in the past two or three years at Lancaster. Then everybody protested during "American Pie."
 
 
 
There have been rumors that a sit-down occured at the end of the dance.  More rumors say that the sit-down actually worked and the RAs did play "Stairway to Heaven" due to the fact that nobody would leave the dance.
 
 
 
This definitely did happen at Siena, session 1, 2004 (second dance). The last minute or so of "Stairway to Heaven" was cut off because it was nearing 10:30 and American Pie hadn't started yet. So a group thought to be lead by Steph and Tim sat down in the middle of the dance floor, breaking all sorts of fire codes. American Pie played through, and by the end almost the entire group of students attending the dance were seated on the floor. The admin then re-played Stairway, and we got an extra 10 minutes of dancing out of the deal.
 
 
 
=="Get Low" cut short scandal==
 
At Dickinson, Session 1, 2005, at the first dance, the RAs began to play Get Low. Only the first few seconds were heard, and then, as everybody was ready to sing along, they cut it. Uproar was everywhere.
 
This happened also with other 'controversial' songs throughout later dances, including such songs as Electric Six's Gay Bar and System of a Down's B.Y.O.B.  What now?
 
 
 
However, at Dickinson, Session 2, 2005, they did play the full rendition of Gay Bar at almost every dance.
 
 
 
=="The Peeing Bandit"==
 
At Skidmore College, Session 1, 2005, there was a bandit on the loose.  During the last week, a boy decided to pee all over the bathroom wall. The next day, all the guys were called to a meeting, at which the RA's proceeded to threaten the guys with horrible things if no one confessed. Shortly after the meeting, the bandit struck again, and two more bathrooms were destroyed. The RA's brutally took away quad time for all the guys. The girls were in an uproar, and rumors started to circulate that the last dance was at stake. That night, the bandit struck for the last time, but was not caught. After intensive interrogations, the RA's gave up. All privileges were re-instated, but we never found out who the peeing bandit was. It might remain a CTY mystery forever.
 
 
 
WORD, RIMSHOT
 
 
 
BTW, Lee's Hall kicks [edit] butt
 
I second that from Session 2, Skidmore, Lee's Hall, 2005. On the last day of session 2 Lee played a prank by taking all kids from his dorm out and telling them a "peeing incident" had occured.
 
vbb
 
 
 
LEEEEEEEEEEE'S HALL!  Actually, this isn't true.  He came into our sleepover with some other RAs at 2 AM (when we were still awake and singing... seriously...) and told us about a 'peeing incident', saying that Nikki Rude (the site director... yes that was her name... she was a nightmare) needed to talk to us.  It was an awesome prank, but we got him back by screwing up all the signs in the hall.  HAHAHA
 
 
 
omg i totally remember that. i was on the phone with the guys in that room when they wer elike "shit i gotta go, the RA's coming" and afterwards they told me that Lee had came in and played a prank on them.
