These two are generally regarded as the worst on campus: McClung Tower on the left and Hodges Library on the right.


Hodges Library is awesome! And damn how old is that picture?

You really should petition for a restoration of the pool. There are ways of getting around liability (closed access, set hours, waivers, and/or a lifegaurd on duty during the regular hours etc.) if that's their main concern. Even the ruins look more fun to hang out in than the re-imagined area they have planned (that's pretty and all but nothing as unique as the earlier photos).


I don't think the liability is the only problem. The pool and all the infastrucuture around it is in such bad shape that it just makes the project to expensive. The Huey P Long fieldhouse was a major dump when I graduated in '12. In the summertime the smell of cadaver would permate through the entire building and on more than one occassion the toilets would overflow. Then the layout of the building is horrible. I had classes in that building for 2 years and I was still getting lost trying to find professors' officies. To get to one of my professor's offices you had to go down a certain set of stairs, take a side door by the loading dock, go past the supply cabinent and take a left and the hallway would flood in the rain. I went to see her after one of the big rains in the spring of '12 and it looked like the scene from the titanic with about 8 inches of water standing in the floor of the hall.

Truth. Only building I've ever been in where the same door can somehow be for the bathroom and the inexplicably the exit the next time you use it.

Such a terrible studying environment. After freshman year, I would just study upstairs at the Law Library. My study breaks consisted of looking down at the miserable law students




You still working at McDonald's?

EKG,

Don't hate on the balcony style dorms. That is where I stayed.



I just to pick up girls at Keathley beach.


Not my room, but this is what it looks like on the inside.

Wow. I mean I know Louisiana isn't big on spending money on state buildings and each governor/session of the legislature probably put it off but I'm surprised they let it get that bad to begin with.

I mean we used to have real cadavers under the stadium as well as offices for faculty and jokes aside it never stank and you'd never know their were cadavers there unless someone told you (hell most students never knew back then that down the hall from their prof's office were cadavers for the body farm).

I lived in Kirby Smith for a semester in 1990.

That place was nasty back then. Those elevators always smelled like piss, vomit, and Chinese food.

I'm not so sure they are tearing down Yocum or Humphreys anytime soon. They're renovating Yocum a little bit each year. I wouldn't mind keeping at least one of them.

Tulane did a nice renovation of a similar dorm in Monroe Hall.

They has an anatomy dissection class for kinesiology majors in the summertime and the ventaliation system was obviously right next to the lab and damn. Nothing like walking in out of a hot muggy Lousiana July morning and being hit with the smell of cadavear and the usually mold and a smell that I can only describe as that fieldhouse smell.

That's brutal. I would've seriously considered dropping the course, especially if there was another section offered in a different building or I could take it in the fall.

Dorman Hall. It's old and ugly, and sits right by the tailgating area in front of the stadium..it blocks the view of the stadium from the south side of campus and would look better if demolished and use the space for more tailgating.

It wasn't that bad on most days but there were some that were ranker than methheads twat after a Mizzou football victory. The worst smell I have ever smelled was when the professors in my grad program forgot to spray their cadaver down with lysol and anti-mold spray over spring break and we came back in after 10 days away.

Just have a strong sense of smell and you make it sound so appetizing. What's weird is I have no problem dealing with corpses or dissection or the normal smells of that but damn your description really does sound hurl worthy.
