I keep hearing stories about this. What's the deal? I was hoping some of you older TWWers would know.

there are tunnels that go from the steam plant through campus which provide heating to the buildings.

what is this deal you want to know about?

p.s. don't go into them unless you want to be arrested.

5/22/2006 6:00:07 PM

haha I def wouldn't go in there

so did people used to go in there? where is the entrance? what's in there? why would anyone ever even want to go into a steam tunnel?

5/22/2006 6:02:55 PM

i've been down there 5x - i got caught the first time b/c one of the guys in our party tripped a silent alarm (opened a door to a building - can't recall which one anymore - i want to say cox though)

it's good drunk fun

the entrance we used everytime was the grate next to the c-store outside of the free expression tunnel - kinda next to the bookstore - 2-3 lookouts - 1 guy with a saw - can go through the chain in ~20 seconds - but it makes a lot of noise

is there some sort of utility map for them?

5/22/2006 6:07:19 PM

there is a basic one on ncsu.edu operations site - photogrob made a pretty good one though back a few years ago

Nothing really to see, certainly not anything worth being arrested for. Go trespass somewhere that doesn't have bored rent-a-cops just itching to make examples of you.

is the kids corpse still there that died playing dungeons & dragons in the 80s?

5/23/2006 9:28:54 AM

5/23/2006 1:08:43 PM

5/23/2006 7:54:35 PM

im lost, why would you want to go down there

5/23/2006 8:58:03 PM

b/c it's fun to explore shit when drunk?

5/24/2006 12:38:05 AM

isnt there a book or tv movie about the D and D kids who killed the parents or whatever?

5/27/2006 11:32:43 AM

^there is both a book and made for tv movie
cant remember the name of the book but it was a good read. i'll try to find it.

I remember when I thought it was cool to get drunk and just walk around campus

then I grew up and started wanting to do things like have sex with girls

i guess it'd be neat if you could get from building to building without being seen, aside from the whole getting arrested thing. if ncsu had a secret society they'd sure as hell use them

You used to be able to sneak into the gym at through some grates on the back side of the building. I went one time with some friends because we wanted to jump off the high dive, but some janitor looking dude came up to the window right in front of us when we lifted the grate. Iirc, they put some locks on those grates by the next time we went.

I also heard you could sneak into the Atrium via similar method, but never tested that one.

6/8/2006 4:05:54 PM

Notre Dame has a similar setup

upon graduating, you are privileged to a few things not available to the public...a stadium/pressbox tour and a tour of the underground tunnels

6/11/2006 3:54:32 PM

arrested, or y'know, burned from the hot steam.

6/11/2006 3:57:42 PM

hot steam that talks with a lisp

"~you better run or i'm gonna burn your little asses~"
