I'm really trying, but I can't think of any normal route across campus where it would actually be less effort to walk across the ice instead of around Lake LaVerne.
If you were coming from Lynn Ave and needed to get over to the west side of campus you could save some time by cutting across the lake.

Had our dorm picture taken in Lake Latrine. Our kids turned out fine, but the sewage in the water was horrible. Still after taking three showers afterward the smell lingered. I suppose it was the rotting corpses that did it.

Not sure how many people but I do know Lake LaVerne was the temporary resting place for a goal post.

That was a fun day. I wish I could remember more of it. The whole period between chili at Tip Top and marching down Lincoln Way with the goal post is a blank.

Usually involved wanting to go in that basement door by the M Shop and coming from boyfriend's room in Friley or Pearson or Carver.

I skinny dipped in there once. I was drunk and got some tail out of it, so lay off.

I heard in the past they would occasionally drain it and clean out the stuff dumped in there and that was always interesting...the stuff that was hiding under the surface...like a washing machine I thought I heard?
