"Wedgitating"
 
   I wasn't originally planning on posting this, since _most_ of the people who are Eyrie fans probably kinda-sorta keep up with the home of UF (IE WPI), but noticing the people from legendary, far-away places like New Mexico, I thought I should break the bad news:

With the advent of WPI's shiny new campus center, the Wedge is going to be torn out and replaced with offices.

Sorry if everyone already knew that.

   Ah, but perhaps not. There is talk of re-computerizing (albiet not with wedgeterms) the lower wedge, and turning old-Tatnuck into office space. Fie on the big shiny mall-thingy in the middle of campus.

   You just know that they'll put in Windows machines if they decide to leave us our Wedge... Still, it'll be good if they do.

   i was thinking and stuff and i sort of remember wpi back in the uf time (i was only in middle school then) and a lot has changed, but the wedge still remains. the past week or so since the campus center has opened, there has been a lot less wedgerats in the wedge but we do return at 12 when they kick us out of the campus center. i don't think that the wedge will die and that after the initial effects of the campus center opening is over, more people will return to the wedge. they are most likely getting rid of the lower wedge, but i don't think they are getting rid of the upper wedge. if they do, we need to fight to keep it.

Ah, well, it doesn't really matter - the Wedge hasn't been the Wedge since all the integral furniture was torn out and replaced with modular lounge furniture (which was immediately stolen by students living in Morgan, Daniels, and the apartments) several years ago...

Well, how were we to know it was going to be of historical significance? :)

Besides, nobody thought they'd ever remodel the Wedge. I mean, it was the -Wedge-, for pete's sake... who would ever have thought that WPI would CHANGE? The Ellsworth and Fuller apartments were built as 18-month temporary housing in 1973!

In response to message #7
 
   speaking of the fuller and elsworth apartments, the wedgerats own both E7 and E8 next year. they specifically got E7 because of uf and the historical background behind it, and most of the people in that 7 have read at least parts of uf. it's great. too bad it's not co-ed (even though i still might end up "living" there).

*sigh* Another reason I hate my school... there's no history or culture here. <came to college hoping for something like say the Deltas {Animal House}or the Pit{PCU}, leaving college wondering where all the REAL college students are>

   So what's the problem?
Given a geologic time-frame, I'd say this was *extremly* temporary...

Well, I'll be damned.

I just ran upstairs to thumb through my photo albums, which I knew contained some snapshots of a LARP-in-progress taking place in the Wedge...

...and every single one of them was taken in the Lower Wedge.

Weird. Eerie.

   Well, what can I say about that?

Strange demons possessed all the cameras... the 'Wedge Hole' cannot be photographed, for Wedge Gravity (the art of never excaping the Wedge... and it is an art) allows no photographs to escape.

Well, it WAS kinda triangular in shape... I never saw any eye-shaped things in it, but they could have been hidden....

15. "Wedge Images"
In response to message #14
 
   LAST EDITED ON Apr-12-01 AT 03:24 PM (EDT)

Ah! I -knew- I had these pictures still around...

Dating from 1993 (which is near enough to the events of UF 1 for
government work), here are some images from the Fall WPI Journal that
one of my old teachers recieved:


-- an overhead color
shot of the WPI campus (the Wedge is the building on the left-hand side
between the l-shaped building and the rectangular building above
the grouping of smaller housing)


-- a greyscale
overhead shot that's unfortunately moire'd (prolly should rescan one of
these days) where the Wedge can be seen in all its trapezoidal glory.
