I don't have any Johnstone memories for $100...

because I lived in New West (Stadium Suites) when I attended...you know, back in the day. But the awesome thread I've been reading brings back memories:
- Suite mate singing Sweet Caroline (BA BA BA) in the mirror every Thursday after a long night drinking while getting ready for bed in the common area. I strangely miss Elliot.
- Relay racing a cheap electric version of a razor scooter that I won at work down the hallways, down the elevator, through the lobby and back up. By round 2 the lobby attendant had gone from telling us to stop to cheering and asking for the play by play.
- Finding the PERFECT backpack that could just fit an entire 12 pack of bottles...still in the case. EPIC.
Post your memories, no matter what on-campus housing you terrorized right here folks. Man I miss Clemson as a student!

TV's are taboo and we still had 3 on the hall
HUGE panty raid from the Quad to Manning Hall. Manning Lomax, Residence Sup. "bathes" in RMC library pool.
Army ROTC calling the USAF ROTC 'bus drivers" because their uniforms closely resemble Greyhound employees.

Walkin down the hall of D6 in 1974 heading to the showers one morning and stepped on a roach in bare feel. Nothing like it. Also, put up a board inside the shower stall and cut the water on...had a swimming pool 4 feet deep. Finally moved the board a tad and a wall of water headed down E-6 and down the stairs. Priceless.

Wall Panels in Johnstone

We(an 'upperclassman"--sophomore) knew how to remove the door and move a wall panel and re-locate the door. Did this to our hall supervisor when he came back from the Study Hall downtown..
tripped over his bed when he came in.. we reversed the door so it would open out into the hall. Had a Hall meeting at 3am....
Door back in correct position at 445am....

Power went out one night. Some of the guys played bluegrass. Think it was on E1. Had our door pennied shut on several occasions. Duds passed out in the halls in on the weekend morning. Shower pool was great. No doors on the shitters. Tanning on the ledge. Putting the speakers in the windows. Shooting bottle rockets at the frat dorm from F annex. Good times.

Sitting on the ledge over-looking the quad as the buses of girls from Winthrop were bussed in for the dances. Uh - we only had a handful of girls on campus then.

D-5 in '65-'66: Hall Mama getting married over Christmas needed "china pattern" and "silver" collection for new bride...... enlisted us Rats to secure same......all stamped CDH......Clemson Dining Hall - not his initials! Smuggling trays out of Dining Hall on snow days to sled the hills behind Memorial Stadium. Also remember that each hall had 5 crapper stalls and if you could get 4 guys to flush 4 of the stalls at the same time, the fifth would back up on the innocent victim doing his business.....particularly effective on someone who's had "fouled the air" on the hall!

victim had just dropped his first load and before he wiped.
I'll never forget that we had a fairly heavyset dude on our hall, who thought fart-bombing unsuspecting folks was a great accomplishment. You should have heard him squealing like a stuck pig after being on the receiving end of a flush-out. From then on he only visited the toilets late at night.
