| + | #REDIRECT [[Carlisle]] |
| − | * Bosler - Writing Courses/Humanities/Math Classes
| |
| − | * Denny - Humanities/Some Math. Probably the most mysterious/secret filled academic building. It has many secret stairwells, odd rooms (such as a chapel on the third floor) and conveniently secluded spots. Lyrics to "The General" are engraved in a desk in the first floor of Denny.
| |
| − | * East College - Humanities, always Political Science
| |
| − | * Althouse - Science Classes
| |
| − | * Weiss - Music Theory only
| |
| − | * Dana - Science Classes. Dana, Weiss, and Denny are not actually on the Academic Quad. However, only Dana has seperate breaks. (edit by Rae: Actually, some of Dana breaks on the Academic Quad, seeing as there is about 7 and a half square feet of grass outside of Dana)
| |
| − | * Ben Rush - The statue of Benjamin Rush, the founder of Dickinson College, is a good place to sit and indulge in worshiping of Ben Rush. According to RA Abby, an alumna of Dickinson, many drunk college boys pee on that statue. Surrounding the actual statue is a raised stone circular bench thing, that probably wasn't intended as seating. On chillier days, the stone bench is usually nice and warm. The red Adirondack chairs or around the flagpole, both on Academic Quad, are nice seating options as well.

| |
| − | * Uber Quad (Quads 9 and 10) (Known for its smell, whose origins remain a mystery.)

| − | ==The HUB==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Hub is famous for many things-
| |
| − | | |
| − | One, actually having a HUB (large, corny, irritating spiral stairwell right in the damn center. You have no idea how many people walk into the glass surrounding it)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Two, having convenient make-out areas in the downstairs vicinity
| |
| − | | |
| − | Three, always serving [[HUB Donuts]] at breakfast. And HUB potatoes (see below)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Four, The Devils Den Convenience Store.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Five, The bookstore, complete with gossip rag rack.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Six, THE COUCHES!!!!

| − | ===HUB Potatoes===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The HUB is famous for serving potatoes with every meal. Literally. CAR kids so love the potatoes that the RAs who wrote the weekend schedules made this haiku in the second session of 2004:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <i>Dinner time is here<br>
| |
| − | feel your stomach clench in fear<br>
| |
| − | potatoes draw near</i>
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is because there is a large room in the back of the kitchen, never seen by CTYers, containing the POTATOR. the POTATOR is a giant potato that spawns whatever potato dish is required that day. For mashed, a section will fall off and liquefy. For baked, little normal-sized potatoes will pop up and fall off. Other forms of potato flesh are procured in similar manners. POTATOR regenerates itself and will never die.
| |
| − | | |
| − | According to another weekend schedule that session (or was it the same one?), HUB potatoes are people (and may be sacrificed to Godzilla in place of human flesh by the [[Cult of Godzilla]]).

| − | ==The ATS==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Anita Tuvin Schlechter auditorium [a-NEE-ta TOO-vin SHLEK-tur]
| |
| − | [http://chronicles.dickinson.edu/encyclo/a/ed_ATS.html link] is a large, strangely shaped auditorium that can comfortably seat an entire CTY session at once. All of the dances are held there, as well as the talent show, closing ceremonies, and the occasional activity. When spending time in there, it is best to bring a sweater, since the AC is kept extremely low; however, if you're their for a dance, the less clothes the better as it turns into a sauna. In addition to the rocking dance floor, there are also seats that swirl. Her picture greets the front entrance to the auditorium, and we can only thank her for her generosity. Plus, her name's just fun to say. Everbody loves Anita Tuvin Schlechter and her auditorium!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Added: Actually, I always thought that dear Anita looked like a man. And isn't her name just fun to say? I still say it sometimes, out of the blue...just for the heck of it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first time I saw her portrait was during a willy wonka themed thing and everybody was like, is that a decoration? And someone was like no thats my friend anita. And her name is always popping into my head.

| − | ==Kline Gym==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kline is always offered as an activity for both periods; a person can go to chill on the couches, exercise, hang out with friends on said couches (or floor, chair/table combo, open space)or in the sketchy hallway. There is also an indoor track, basketball court, tennis court, racquetball/squash courts, and an upstairs dance studio that the ballerinas use on occasion. There is also a swimming pool, which is reserved for a separate activity. One spot in the "basement" (track level), is good for making out... next to the soda machine. This spot is located in the Sketchy Hallway, where groups of devoted double Kliners always sit. The RAs supervising are generally lax and rarely interfere.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Students with the last name of "Kline" have often been asked whether they are in any way related to the building. The answer is usually no, but one CTYer was allegedly related to Mr. Kline.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Double-Klineing===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Going to Kline for both activity periods. Fun on rainy days, or days with terrible activities, or if you want a break from the structure that prevails in CTY. Basically, you sit around and don't do anything, although there is usually some form of eating/card-playing/magazine (especially Cosmo) reading going on.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==KW==
| |
| − | | |
| − | KW is where you go if you get in trouble, get sick (the Health office is in KW) or, alternatively, if you 'live' there. Halls KW-A and KW-B are in KW. KW is also referred to as "K-Dubs."
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Massey's==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Massey's is the custard place near Dickinson that has really good shakes as well as Arctic Mounts. It is often a destination during hall bondage. Trips are rewards for good behavior, clean rooms, quiet weekends, and making sure to follow rules. Teachers and RAs must take students over, they can't go alone. Everyone loves trips there even if they don't like the treats. For those who don't have the shakes or ice cream, Massey's sells lots of bouncy balls or puzzle balls for a minimal fee of 25 cents. Great if bored in one's own hall. There isn't any indoor seating in Massey's or much standing room either, so halls end up sitting on the curb outside.

| − | ==The Devil's Den==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Devil's Den is a wonderful little store that sells newspapers, caffeine, snacks, ramen noodles, playing cards, gum, and other little odds and ends that CTYers require or desperately crave. They also sell contraband merchandise like condoms, flashlights, and Cheez Whiz, as well as odd things only college students would need (like ping pong balls and streamers).

| − | | |
| − | * Waidner-Spahr Library - The location of many study halls. It boasts high ceilings and study rooms equipped with internet access as well as tables, couches and floors to do reading from. At the entrance, the Dickinson Library mermaid...or rather, merman, a bronze weather-vane, is displayed under glass. The sheer size of the Library makes it a good location to take an impromptu study break and frolic among the stacks, perhaps browse the over-sized books section. The air conditioning is usually cranked up so bring a sweater, especially when it gets cold after dark.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Enviable places to sit include East Asian Studies Room, which is replete with a Japanese screen and fake rocks, but usually closed to study halls. The Nest, although anti-climatic compared to its name, is a comfy overlook next to a fireplace. Classes meet to go into study hall in front of KW, sitting on the benches or the wall next to the library. Breaks usually convene at the patio near the entrance, where there are tables with umbrellas.
