Williams Urban Legends

The Williams Snack Bar staff are among the campus's urban legends. When students see them wearing normal clothes, they usually react like they just saw Star Trek officers wearing jeans. The amount of work that these people do with a smile on their face rivals even the hours the geekiest math major spends in the library.

Is it a legend that somewhere in the deep basement of Bronfman, the psych students performed experiments on their own brains? Does that mean they had brains to begin with? Bronfman is certainly a spooky building.

The health center is also known for giving out free condoms. But some will tell you, and others will confirm, that those condoms break. For those who spent most of their time hiding from the noisy air-conditioner in Sawyer library, this is just a legend.

Have people had sex in the two-level monkey carrels in Sawyer Library? One witness told me he has seen lesbian sex. What remains a mystery is how the library workers, who are all eyes and ears, did not see it. Another Sawyer legend has it that students hid in the library and slept there after security locked up all the doors.
