TULSA LlNIVERSlTY'S A sarcastic view of TU terminology. - Written by Brian Lageose The Pit: Said to be located in the basement of Twin West. No one is really sure. Occasionally Pit Dwellers have been known to crawl out and attend class, but they mostly make noise and throw things. The U: This is that big grassy area separating Lottie Jane and the John. A real pain to cross at eight in the morning when your sense of direction is not yet functioning. There are sidewalks, but they go in stupid directions and no one uses them. The John: I think people live here. Or try to anyway. I wouldn't call it a residence hall, though. More like a never- ending scene from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. rivial Pursuit: An irritating game. As if college students didn't have enough to think about, we have to sit around and try to remember the name of Nancy Reagan's gynecologist. TU Terminology nads: A shorter less vulgar term for residents of the first floor of Twin South. It makes them feel masculine. They need it. The Cave: This is where the Knads live. Strange things take place here. Don't ask. Always on Top: Girls on the third floor of Twin South have this saying on their shirts. It seems Twin South residents have an obsession with sexual expressions. KEP: Short for Keplinger Hall. Students are too tired to say the whole name after walking all the way down there. ll Kids: Chic term for All My Children? A soap opera about rich people with problems. Just like all the rest, but this one is during lunch and is easier to watch.

TERMI OLGGY GUIDE McClure Hall: Lines. More lines. All you do is stare at the back of someone's head in a single file. Not a fun time. Parking Lots: Very Scarce. Someone once saw one on the far side of Twin South, but I think itis an apartment build- ing now. U.ElI' ters: A game which gives students another reason to drink. Some feel it is a good reason. Others feel it is merely a substitute for conversation. McFarlin: Technically a library. A very old library. No one is really sure where things are located. Not even the library staff. Students searching for the Rare Book room often disappear for three weeks. Westby Center: Another old building. There seem to be a lot of them around here. I guess private schools are required to have old buildings. This one smells, though. And has lots of strange doors that lead to stranger rooms. It has a basement, you know. Scary. anshees: A very exclusive social organization. Requires the ability to be tastefully bizarre without being ostra- cized. They do things like win Halloween contests and get drunk. Fun. Shaw Alumni Center: We are not suppose to be concerned with this. Only after we graduate and become suckers for the Phon- athon do we get to go inside. QIIIIIIH HIHIIIEU A term meaning overwhelming. As in a test. Or tuition. Phillips Hall: An art building full of art students taking art classes. Sometimes they do it in public, on the sidewalk. Used to be the engineering building. I wonder what happened. Continued on page 30 TU Terminology
