West Quad reigns supreme as best residence hal on campus.

I Micro-computing cluster
Best: Angell Hall
Worst: Union
The Union's got short lines,
moderate climate, no damn
buzzing lights, but Angell's hip,
new, and got those big color
screens so you can type your
paper in fuchsia, and that's what
gets today's voters.
Library
Best: Graduate Library
Worst: Undergraduate
111.

One of two new buildings to grad awards this year, the Angell Hall Computing Center coined
a new phrase: Writer's Ice Block. Do they ever turn on the heat in here?

Best Radio Station:
WIQB
A contract with the University to
make sure buildings block out
ALL other radio stations has
pushed "Ann Arbor's Only" WIQB
to the top. This especially holds
true among dorm residents,
whose musical taste tends to
range from Boston to Night
Ranger to Bad Company to the
Outfield.
Best Local Band:
Frank Allison and the
O4d Sox
Vintage quote from last year's Best
of "Then there's pop like Jolt,
Cola. The kind that makes you
want to run a few laps around the
block and go play on the money
bars and call somebody you don't
know on the phone and propose

to them. That's Frank." We don't
know what that means, either, so
you'll just have to see them and
figure it out for yourself.
Best Place to Meet People:
Diag
What if the middle of our campus
was shaped like a trapezoid?
Would it still win? People seemed
to misunderstand the obvious
intent of the question... not where
to meet people, where to MEET
people. As in people you don't
already know. Nonetheless, a
near-empty coke bottle always
seems to attract a crowd of
potential acquaintances.
Best Pickup Line:
"Aren't you in my
class?"

Works like a charm. Met my first
two wives that way.
Best Place to Take a First
Date:
Movie
But which one? (Faces of Death?
Leatherface: Chainsaw Massacre
II)
Best Birth Control Method:
Pill
But which one? (May we suggest
The Pill)

Library
Why the grad over the UGLi? It's
easier to have sex in the Grad.
Everyone knows that. Not that
the UGLi is without its
advantages, where else can you
get a free Ray Ban/Timberland
fashion show in the greatest party
atmosphere without a keg?
Professor
Best: Drew Westen
(Psych)
Worst: The Nutty
Professor (Lewis)
Any professor that yells
"motherfucker" in a class of 600
people gets my vote. (In case you
were wondering why the Nutty
Professor did so poorly)
Course
Best: Abnormal Psych
Worst: Core it English
Only someone psychologically
abnormal could enjoy Core II.
Major
Best: English
Worst: Computer
Science
What other major gives credit for
reading texts with naughty words?
What other major has tests with
no wrong answers? None, I guess
that's why English won. But why
did computer science lose? What
with classes on North Campus
and human interaction replaced
by MTS, CS should have been
the runaway winner.

It took three long years, but both the University, the Dow Chemical Company and our
readers agree, the new Chemistry Building was worth the wait.
