You mean, like the side closer to Coker and/or Boligee? YSWIDT?

Sounds cool though.
What are they for then? I know you can still get into them.
Look in my earlier post. They used to have pipes for hot water and steam. The whole campus was heated by a network of gigantic furnaces back in the day. They pumped hot water and steam underground to individual faucets and steam heaters in the buildings. That's why so many of the buildings don't have fireplaces whatsoever.

Freaked me out.
And I will admit, probably the ONLY reason I did not go in that house with them is because I had met this pretty fire chick that night and she was waiting with some other friends at the house.
I do not know much about everything in Ttown now, but then WSP was a happening band and a lot of the bars we went in to were playing that type of music. There were so many ways to get coke it was unreal. It made me wonder why the hell we drove out to BFE to get that crap.

With the outbreak of the Civil War, classes were interrupted when the entire student body and many faculty from Ole Miss enlisted in the Confederate army. Their company, Company A, 11th Mississippi Infantry, was nicknamed the University Greys, and suffered a 100% casualty rate during the Civil War.

Went over my head. All I know about Boligee is that it's in Greene County.

Yeah the University and Columbia in general have these official state signs up about something that happened at that place during the Civil War. Right in front of the USC library is a sign about Union troops placing their barracks there and in adjacent blocks (of course that library wasn't there at the time, during the years of the Civil War they were more or less right next to campus if I'm not mistaken.
If I'm not mistaken we closed down for a while during the Civil War.
ETA: One of the most well known rivalry stories between SC and Clemson is that Clemson cadets and SC students almost got into a shootout in which an SC professor said "make every shot count"
It was stopped before any shooting ensued but the game was canceled for a few years ending the tradition of "Big Thursday"

Almost every astronaut in the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz programs trained at Morehead Planetarium at UNC.
In fact, the Planetarium Director once said that, “Carolina is the only university in the country, in fact the world, that can claim all the astronauts as alumni.”

100%, seriously? For a second there, I almost just had complete pity for Ole Miss. That's like 150 years of getting face humped.
