Kip Carlson. Fall of 1981 to the spring of 1985. I lived my freshman year in Campbell Hall, which at the time was an all men's dorm. Sophomore year I spent the first half of it in Dana Hall in an apartment with three of my fraternity brothers. And I think halfway through that year I moved into Memorial Hall because that was the Kappa Sigma house at that point. Stayed there my junior year in Memorial, and then my senior year was in the Green Apartments just across the street from Taylor Hall.

There used to be a bunch of little white houses kind of over by Dillin, and had some friends that lived there so a lot of the time we'd just hang out in their living room or on their front porch, and uh, i-it was just a lot of fun and you got a good education. But I think one thing that kind of stands out that I laugh about sometimes now when you come back and look at some of the buildings is that the facilities in general were pretty awful at that point. Was that, if I remember right the college was coming out of some very bad financial times in the late 60's and early 70's, and at one point I think there was even danger of whether the school would continue. And a lot of the maintenance hadn't been kept up whether it was on, you know, classroom buildings or residence halls, football team's locker room and any of the athletic facilities were just awful. And the amount of things that, uh, the success that people could have and go onto coming out of what was at that time a very humble set of physical circumstances really does kind of make me smile. Because it was kind of neat because you didn't have a lot of the advantages that I think are here now and it's terrific, but it was still, it was what you made of it. And that was kind of neat.
