Killed by chips and toast

Oh, man! The Kittredge Complex! That was swank back in the day! If you had to live in the dorms, that was THE place! Remember the Alfred Packer Grill? Speaking of strange eating habits! OOh, and the sub sub basement of Norlin Library! What a bizarre spot. Were you at CU when the flasher used to hang out down there? Yep, we're both geezers alright!

Of course I was there! The Alferd Packer grill was where we hung out inbetween classes, but in those days the Sink Burgers were to die for. My classmate was Paul Danish, although I didn't know him personally, and he is the one who named the grill after the notorious Colorado cannibal

The Kittredge Complex had just opened and I lived in Hallett Hall, so we decided to walk over and take a look at how the better half lived. That pond was brand new, didn't even have any plants yet, and some guy tossed one of my friends into it and hurt her feelings so we went home again. And I used to work in the basement of Norlin Library, when I could stay awake after being up all night, that is

Do you remember when Joe Coors was a Regent and he tried to strong-arm the University into letting him sell his beer in the Alferd Packer Grill? The fanciful rumor was that a pipeline would be built to supply the campus. The students hated Joe Coors more than they wanted to have beer on campus, an astonishing development considering the temprament at CU in the '60s, and demanded that the University reject the proposal. That was when I began boycotting Coors beer and never bought another drop of it even 40 years later. The students rightly felt that a man who stated that the National Guard should shoot student war-protestors without a second thought, yet wanted to have exclusive access to the same students' beer money, was a hypocrite of the worst order. This hatred of the Coors family as opposed to their beer still runs so deep at CU that the University refused to name the stadium after them even after million-dollar contributions over many years, and it was only recently that they reached some sort of compromise on that. I think they allowed the Coors name on the extension built in front of the stadium, didn't they?
