    If you're gonna expel gas, at least do everyone else here a solid and not crop-dust. For real though. Kinda hard to lift that barbell with several plates with a haunting aroma in the air.

    Don't bring a bag out on the pool deck. We WILL find you. And we will tell you to put it in a locker. If you wanna know why, ask the huge sign in front of the entrance to the outdoor pool.

    The ARC (Activities and Recreation Center) was originally built in 1971 but opened in August 2008 as one of the largest on-campus recreation facilities in the country!

    Ladies, if you plan on showering here bring your own hair dryer. None work in the locker room and ARC no longer replaces nonfunctional ones.
