• “My room was on the third floor in the far corner toward McKinley auditorium. The room contained a bunk bed, a couple of small desks, and a hot plate — used a lot, and probably illegally.”

• “Rob Wall’s office was stacked with papers, books, projects, and who knows what else. (It probably still is!)
