Did the building have an aptly named rally cheer to show pride in its restoration?

Wow. Did the building have the appropriate art-deco style Native-American or Indian symbol design built into the floor tiles ? It's supposed to mean wealth or good luck (wiki) in Indian/Nepalese cultures..

I guess it's built on top of the abandoned Campf Mine.

"[B]est building name"? I guess Nazi jokes never get old.

Heh. I've had three different classes in that building. The best thing about seig is its distinct smell. And the fact that Nazi jokes never get old.

Also, last quarter Mark Zbikowski and Gary Kimura taught Operating Systems in seig. They never complained about it surprisingly.

The athletic complex at my school is named the "Reich Family Pavilion".

No, really, it is. I can't find a picture but someone that follows NCAA basketball might know.

LOL - Almost as good as "The Alfred G. Packer Memorial Grill" at the University of Colorado.
