I spent two years living in Watterson Towers in 422 Monroe. Every 5 levels got a new name and I was on the 10th floor or something like that. The laundry area was on top of the dorm and provided a nice view at night. I sometimes did my laundry in the middle of the night as no one was up there at that time. You can sit in your underwear until your jeans were dry that way (the inspiration for the very 2nd comic of 1977 where Bud meets Jeff in a laundromat with no pants on). The garbage chutes ran the entire 28 floors and we loved tossing big, heavy items down the chute to hear it bounce against the metal chute until it hit the bottom. Do NOT stick your head into the chute as items from ABOVE will hit you (I speak from experience).
Watterson was a coveted place to be at ISU as it was a newer dorm and had larger rooms, plus it was co-ed and the girls were right-over-there and we had some fun with that too. You will see more Watterson shenanigans with Jeff here shortly.
How about a little sneak peek into the ISU action with AC/DC’s “Girls Got Rhythm” for your Friday? And they most certainly do…
Yeah, never insult the driver when going into a 2 to 1 ratio of girls, cause believe you me, the driver will always give you up in that scenario. Bro’s before Ho’s means nothing when a moment like this is before you. 🙂
“Watterson Towers”….does everyone there own a stuffed tiger and a red wagon?
Hmm…wasn’t the 55 limit already in effect in 1977?
I know it’s a nitpick, but as a highway geek, I notice things like that *heh*
I was lucky to be in the only Freshman coed dorm AND it had A/C.
So presumably Jeff will stick out his thumb and get a lift from one – or several – of those generously oversupplied co-eds, and then…muhahahahaha…
Good one!
This page looks so much better inked etc! 😀
Sometimes line B&W is better but not in this case!
And I love the name of the road on the sign! LOL
So, can’t wait till we get to see all those lovelies you are bound to draw now! 😀
Will be good to see some new “faces”!
😉
(Well I will eventually look at the faces! )
LOL
HA! Awesome! I’m in Colby Hall there now!
