Shooooot....
I remember:
No phones in the rooms Radiators Open showers “special” café days with pink tickets The “bookstore” not selling books, but loaning them for the semester (oh, those lines) A large, empty unpaved lot between the union and Cooper The “special” café day for black history month where they served catfish and chitlins Water fights Greasy fried chicken that somehow was dry when it hit your mouth Mobile snacks Evening snacks at the café consisting of a sandwich, some chips and an apple (and a parking ticket waiting when you came out) Passing out on the strip before the days of the blue gates and giant speed bumps Having to walk through a neighborhood to get from Scott to Dowdy The old library Flashlight Universal Barber Shop Burger King Parker Bros. (that place had to be a drug front. Nobody was ever there) Hot and Now Side Effects, EZ Strokes, and whatever they called the other one behind the gas station The code to the secret study room in the back of McNair (press the one and three at the same time, then five) Chancellor Fort (matriculate) When the street in front of Morrow and Morrison was two way (it still should be) When the strip in front of the café led straight to an unscalable wall with frat paintings on it Mickey (greetings) Dr. Manuel Aggiefest Fake Aggiefest (Collegiatefest)
y'all remember that mess?

Cooper was a female dorm The football players stayed in Scott C There was parking lot in front of Scott, then it became a plaza When A&T would always win the MEAC in men's basketball Dudley was the Administration building panty raids on the girls dorms greasing freshman (if you don't know ask somebody)

(The strip)
The strip during homecoming was crazy.... People were on the strip 48 to 70 hours during homecoming. I left out 2 hours because you had to go to the game!!!

Parker Brothers was the bomb! Man that crispy greasy chicken and the best potato wedges in town. That was one of my favorite spots. I also remember going to Gate City Barber Shop and the barber (Ray) never cutting my hair like I wanted him to. He used to say "you'll never tell yo momma I cut your hair like that." Sneaking gallon jugs into the cafeteria and filling them with the juice of the day. Food fights! Going over to UNCG to get a punch Getting caught in Barbee Hall after curfew Getting caught in Morrison after curfew Going over to the Grove to buy illegal contraband. Dr. McLaughlin making us sing "Happy Birthday" during MLK week.

Decks, did Dr. Mac have that white stuff on the corners of his mouth when you had him?
Remember when the union sucked? I remember playing Karate Master and Ms. Pac Man half the day Watching The Cosby Show and A Different World in that little t.v. room in the Union Meeting girls that were given rooms in the Union due to overcrowding so we could have 24 hour co-ed visitation Purposely flushing the toilet repeatedly when folks were in the shower to scald them Driving up and down the strip allll night long every Friday and Saturday Trying to figure out how the hell most of campus seemed to know which weekends to skip town Shaking the snack machines to get free snacks Losing clothes to the swift of hand in the laundry room Rapping over the loudspeaker when Stocks left the dorm for a few minutes Attacking fresh paved sidewalks with all kinds of ridiculousness Your first crush The girl (or guy) you left your girl (or guy) back home for Getting calling card numbers and telling everybody you called “if anybody calls you asking if you know anybody at A&T or from this number say no” Mayflower Libby Hill Them 80 cent burgers in the Union that were sooo good Stealing cool-aid packs and eight packs of cheese from Harris-Teeter The creative way you hid your microwave in the dorm Laughing when somebody else’s microwave was confiscated Crying when yours was Gus SPRINGTIME! Your first homecoming ac have the white stuff on the corner of his mouth when you had him?

Panty Raids!!!!!
One memorable panty raid, women were waving their panties calling the guys up while guys 'streaked' across the "Yard" and my Cuz dressed up like Star Baby of the Parliament/Funkadelic crew.
Scott Hall's soul train line with guys on both sides of the side walk. The ladies will walk through this gauntlet to and from classes as the guys gazed on them.

jumping out of the window at Bennett to keep from getting caught pulling all night cram sessions in Cherry Hall trying to finish design projects throwing a major party in my suite in Haley. My roommate and me were the only ones over 21 so we had the keg in our room Making a 3.5 with 19 hours only to have my roommate make a 4.0 with 20 hours
