Carlisle

NOTE: Guys, as one of the largest and oldest CTY sites, we really need at least as much up here as some of the other places do!

Location

• Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Carlisle, Pennsylvania is a pleasant town about 20-30 mins. from Harrisburg. The site is notorious among its regulars for the town's phsycotic drivers. The Campus of Dickinson College is a stately place dating from the 1700s with plenty of open space and trees. Facilities are pretty nice, with air conditioning in all rooms, and the HUB (the central meeting place) contains two stores: The Devil's Den convenience store and a bookshop. Massey's, a great custard stand, is just down the block and some halls go there on rare occasion.

Dorms

• Referred to as Quads 1-10, Super Quad, and Malcolm (really far away and last used in 2005)
• Quad Six=Quad Sex
• Quads Four and Five= superquad(boys only)
• Malcom(guys only) is know for its basement("no one can hear you scream in Malcom basement") which often floods and has mice. Not used in 2006, at least in session II.
• KW - Kisner-Woodward Building. (K-Dubbs) The guidance, nurse, and administrative offices are located here, but there are also four girls' halls.
• UBER QUAD! Bigger and better than super quad....a girls only dorm, that is very similar to super quad, only with an additioal, lingering, smell that cannot be identified. It contains EDDIE, the janitor with a TV in his glorious janitors office and posters of scanitly clad women on his wall. He tends to walk down the hall way at 7 in the morning, right when everyone is showering.

-It should also be noted that the lounge of SUPERQUAD (boys dorm) can see clear down the hallway of UBERQUAD (girls dorm). Awkward.

• McKenney - Between upper quad and the library, this building houses the TAs as well as some of the younger instructors. Obviously, it is strictly off-limits for students.

Traditions

• First Friday
• Big Saturday
• Passionfruit
• Poetry Night
• Drag Day
• Goth Day
• Emo Day
• End of the World Day
• Dances in ATS
• Talent Show in ATS
• HUB potato obsessions (The Hub is infamous for serving at least one potato-based dish with EVERY meal)...for short time afterward EVERYONE goes through "fried potato product" withdrawal
• Betty Negley. "Hel-lo! ::swipes card:: Thank-you!" ((what's especially funny is hearing her try to fit "good morning" into two syllables)). Betty gets extremely, mind-bendinly hulk angry when kids try to sneak out food for passion friut. A sight to behold. Betty's wrath can also be awakened when she sees people playing with their food (i.e. putting tea leaves in milk.)My hall in Session 1 '06 knows this firsthand. If you are nice enough, she might let you take a picture with her...
• Kill Murray/Save Murray - the only game in which you can use "Dick Cheney" and "Good thing his helmet runs on hamster-power" in the same sentence
• Most RAs being annoying at end of Meet-Market: At the end of every Meet-Market, the RA's are called to the alley. They put their hands on top of each other's, and then they break up screaming "GOOOOO!" telling CTYers to go back to their dorms. The longer they scream go for, the more annoying they are (some have gone over 40 seconds). The RAs that don't scream at all are the cooler ones (go Geoff).
