Re: Yeah, I never went near this building

I think I had two semesters of physical chemistry in there. Some decrepit old tiny lecture hall upstairs with no desks, just rows of adjoined metal seats.

All my chemistry classes were in Brackett
That place was for the true nerds.

a homecoming football game. Dad and a friend (also a CU grad) started looking at the old desks they had in Brackett in the lecture rooms. They were all carved up with names, etc. Dad found his carving and desk from 1960-whatever. Friend found his desk too and pointed out his carving.
Anyway, /coolstorybro

about Earle was walking from Johnstone by the “Shoe Boxes” in the spring when attractive young women were getting a little sun and showing a lot of skin.

I had statics class in that building during a summer sesh

and during that same time period, it was a mainframe lab that had the slowest MS Word emulator emulator in history. Also it had the oldest version of Autocad (emulated off a mainframe card) that I learned 2D Autocad in (pffft 3D AC didn't even exist in wireframe at that point). I used that lab for several other classes late at night (Fortran, and another one I can't remember) because I don't think many folks knew it was there.
That lab always smelled like curry, sweat, and old mildewed paper. I remember the first time walking into it there were punch cards all over the floor and tables everywhere. I started in the fall, and I think the 2nd summer session before that was the last of the punch card use at Clemson.
