We were the first to reside in Belden Hall, when it opened in 1967. 220 men, part of a quadrangle, two men's dorms, two women's dorms. Is it still there?

We had a ringside seat to the student protests against Dow Chemical Recruiting on Campus. The state police were called in.

No, do you have a link?

One infamous resident of Belden Hall was Richard Delage, serial killer.

This might deserve its own thread, but here you go. (I think their may actually be another one floating around out there as well):

I love the smoking and drinking going on in Homer’s office.

All while probably tsktsk-ing the students use of “other” substances

Spring and Fall '69 + Spring '70 Frat Quad; Off Campus Fall '70 + Spring '71 Rte 44 in Coventry, and Fall '71 near Mansfield Hollow Dam. Highlight of living in the Frat Quad: the annual snowball fight with the freshmen in the Jungle during the first big snowfall! My house, Alpha Sig, had 3 B'Ballers as members and in residence: Ron Hrubala, Steve Townshend and Doug Melody in those Yankee Conference days.

Returned for a 2nd degree in Spring '74 and lived for 3 semesters in the red house behind the red schoolhouse at the NE corner of Rte 32 and South Eagleville Rd. Frequented Ali John's liquor store and restaurant (across from Spiro's Restaurant) and LOVED his late nite CBGBs with roasted peppers, the best hangover preventer ever made!

Who here remembers Shaboo in Willimantic?

Can't be, the windows aren't broken and nothing is on fire in the quad.

 

[UC313]

And look at all that parking !

I lived in the Jungle (New London Hall) from 1978 to 1981. It was almost always called the Jungle in those days, every once in a while there would be a reference to North Campus. We were told that the Jungle was built as temporary housing for the WW II veterans. The joke at the time was that the Jungle was built too well to be temporary, and not well enough to be permanent housing. As far as my room goes, my roommate and I kept the windows open all winter, otherwise the radiators would produce enough heat for a sauna. With the wind that would blow through, we referred to our room as Wrigley Field.

I'd love to know the date of that photo. Not sure when MSB was built, but that parking lot was long gone when I arrived on the scene.

MSB (now apparently called the Gant South building) was built in 1970.

Judging by the cars in the pic, I’d say that’s the mid 50s.
