Digiclan
Digiclan was a group of students at Lancaster between 1994 (1993?) and 1998.
Originally, it was simply referred to as Digi, which is derived (perhaps slightly uncreatively) from the name of the class that most of the original members took in '94, Digital Logic. According to this page, it began in '03; however, the Digiclan webpage indicates that the course was taken in '94.
Like LLRT, the Digiclan saw it's peak in 1995. Many of it's members nomored in 1996. In 1998, they merged with the LLRT.

Dennis Clark
Dennis Clark started the tradition of wearing bathrobes on Thursdays in 1995. He also later came back to Lancaster as a TA.
Tarpy (Jessi) Miller
4 March 1980 - 2 December 1996
Along with Louis Gerbarg, Tarpy burned the original Lancaster Canon CD. She died tragically in 1996, the winter after her nomore year. Her history is intricately connected with that of James Brown Is Dead. A memorial web site was created in her memory, but sadly it seems to be no more.

I would love to tell you a few things. For one, that link is so old! It makes me sad, like a sad kitten in the snow. I'd love to see it updated.
I'm a Digi. Was LLRT, then joined Digi when it combined. Either it's fallen apart in the past 5 years, or I've fallen out of it. Can't really tell. Most of us went to college. Some of us graduated. Some got married and/or have real jobs now. Isn't life grand?
The Supa-Happy picture for Digi linked off the main page needs a little bit of background. However, I remember that day, so I will share! That was LAN96-1, after a bright and sunny day spent in Pomm and Timmer's THEO class. We'd gotten ahold of the highly coveted hot pink lecturers' (or was it artists'?) chalk, and covers our faces with it! That, and the Pythagoras Nose colored chalk. I believe we took the opportunity to become chalk goddesses. Who can pass up a chance like that? All 5 of us were the girls in THEO, the only girls there, and we all lived in the same suite above the admin in the admin building (which I cannot remember the name of at this time.) The three girls in the middle had single rooms, the two on the ends shared a double, and life was grand.
Please, if you see this page, add more anecdotes? Think of the poor little children and kittens who will benefit!
