Just a little bit 'o CMU lore here: Thought it might be relevant at
other campuses too.  

As you know, our "student union" per-say is called "Skibo" and is
disgusting, poorly designed, falling down, etc. etc.   Well, of course,
the university has had plans to demolish it for quite some time, and
guess what the freshman are told "The new university center should be
finished by the time you graduate"  But, as always, they fail to get
funding, or change design, or something like that, and it doesn't get
finished. (or even started for that matter -- they told me Skibo was
going to be demolished last summer)  I'm a junior, and I was told that
the new U.C. would be finished by the time I graduated, people who are
seniors were told the same thing, and so were people who graduated a
year ago.  I'm sure that the freshman of today are still told the same
thing.....too bad its not true....
