This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

received one for Pangborn Hall ... by irishnc92

My understanding of the message was that the funds would transfer with the current residents as they move into a new dorm on East quad. Whereas when Pangborn transitioned to a female dorm in 1992, the male residents were scattered to the winds ....

Probably the more important question, is what should we be funding with our donations? I've decided to no longer donate directly to the Notre Dame with unrestricted funds (even if just to get access to the ticket lottery), but rather to donate to very specific clubs and causes. Even then, I'm not sure "dorm life" is something to support.

Postscript: If there's one good thing in any of this, its that the hideous F will no longer be on campus.
