Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 2889041, member: 127"] Went to Oswego St. They used to put up ropes along the walkways to campus buildings to hold on to so you could even stand up while fighting the wind and snow. The wind would knock kids down. I remember slipping and sliding when a 6’7” basketball player from Syracuse kidded me for sliding backwards and dropping a book while trying to get to Snygg from Hart Hall. It was hysterical seeing him fall right after laughing at me, slide totally backwards down the hill on his axx knocking other kids off the rope while his papers and all his books ended up back at Funnelle. Felt rather bad too though because some kids were pretty mad at getting knocked down. It was like watching a bowling ball knock down pins along the way. Best story though was when the school did close because of a brutal blizzard and the students from Hart and Funnelle dorms made a human chain of at least 100 students linked arm to arm all the way down to the city and the main intersection with route 104 where a liquor store was located. Money was collected beforehand from everyone. Bottles after bottles of liquor, wine, Tango mix (OMG) etc were passed person to person up all the way back to campus so a giant blizzard bash could start. Cleaned that liquor store almost out. Totally crazy - then each student was passed up the chain, also person to person till everyone could get back inside. The alcohol was passed up first , people afterwards. Amazingly creative cooperative and efficient operation to insure an unforgettable party was pulled off that night which became even more unbelievable thinking back on it as time passed. I was a dumb freshman and had to laugh despite freezing through it. Some inventive upperclassmen thought it up. Couldn’t believe it worked. 18 was the drinking age back then. [/QUOTE]
