This week, I attended a Rose Cafe in which Professor Blalock gave us a tour of the underground tunnel system connecting Becker to Rose and the War Memorial room. Before this event was announced, I had no idea that either of these existed. It was not even something I had considered, but, as an engineering student, I am always interested to learn about the inner workings of the building. I was surprised to learn that all of the food comes in through Becker and is transported to Rose underground. It does make more sense to deliver everything to one central location and distribute it on a smaller scale, but it is just something I had never thought about.

The most interesting part of the tour, however, was the War Memorial room in Lyon Hall. I did not know this was there, but I am really glad to have seen it. It is an incredibly small room, but has just enough beautiful war memorabilia to make an impact. Whether it be the list of names of fallen soldiers from the World Wars, a letter from President Hoover regarding these soldiers, or even the architecture of the room, I would recommend a visit to anyone. Unfortunately, the room is typically locked, but if you ever see it open, check it out.
