Theater? Concerts were on folding chairs in the gym!
The "Bridge to Nowhere" - The bridge was built to go to from the Studen Union building to the old library, but it was the wrong height and they decided to wait because they built the new library. Unfortunately Fortunately, the height mismatch was still horrific. The bridge to nowhere just went out from the SU building, over the road, and then, after a while, just stopped with a wall. There were even tee-shirts: "Stonybrook - The Bridge to Nowhere". What you probably saw was the connection to the fine-arts center and stuff - all of which appeared well after I was gone. Dorms: Tabler->Tabler->Roth->Kelly. What you call Roosevelt Quad was simply called Stage 12, as it had no name; Mendelsohn Quad was simply called "G" Quad.. Many dorms had alternate names - for example, in Roth they had Hendrix named after Jim Hendrex; in Kelly, they had Marx, named after Harpo Marx; &etc.; They were the only names most of us ever knew.
There was no meal plan when I was a Freshman - they were thrown off campus and not replaced. We all cooked for ourselves - and fought tooth and nail to keep it that way when they brought new profiteers back on campus.

No, we're thinking of the same bridge. They later finished it by having the bridge actually do a zig-zag to go around the left side of the library and meet the walkway there.
We had G and H quad (I guess H was after your time)... Roosevelt was there, and they had just built the first set of graduate apartments. Now there are a bunch more (Like I said, barely recognizable)

G & H quads were where they had most of the Freshman. I ended up in Tabler because I was supposed to be part of the "Hand Project" - where your dorm life (with other freshman) was a bit like an encounter group - and there were thus easy intros/interactions with the nubile females in the program. Alas, it was cancelled starting that year. I decided to stay, a suite was a better location than a dorm.
Too much nostalgia - and the other thread - making me crave pizza - It's all too much for me.

I attended several talks and asked questions of Gene Amdahl[^] who didn't receive a Nobel, but should have.

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

It clearly can't be "Krull". That would be far too obvious... Hmmm... I'll have to think some more on this.
