<p>We just had a thread about this</p>
<p>yea. haha we talked about it last year when we were talking about eating clubs. campus sucks. no one joins =P</p>
<p>DiamondT - msging/chatting on the internet can be pretty confusing, esp because you don't really know the people. But Shrek is a light-hearted guy; he wasn't serious there. the " =p" I'm sure he meant to indicate that. Chill a little.</p>
<p>Refuge or not, it's sad to see a club die. :-(</p>
<p>Trying to knock down the club? What are you talking about? People need to chill a bit. Everyone takes everything as if its a personal attack of some sort. Its not. Campus has been the "downer" club for a long time. For years now its number of new members have steadily declined and people knew it was going to close. Its no real surprise and yes, as a matter of fact, the campus club was known to "suck." Its sad that its closing, but it was pretty much expected. However, good news is, the alumni club of Cannon rebought the land that Cannon Club once owned and that club might reopen by the time we are eligible for eating clubs.</p>
<p>And im just wondering...how was my comment mean and rude towards minorities? Its true, campus is not known as the minority club on campus and just because you know a few blacks in campus doesnt mean they are all there. And what do you mean "environment in Scottsdale, Arizona"? Thats where I live? Its not like I dont know African-Americans lol.</p>

That comment is just mean and rude to the people and minorities who took refuge at Campus

lol you make it sound like there was some kind of genocide on campus. I am sorry to be the one to tell you, but your friends are lying to you lol.</p>
<p>I'm guessing there was a deleted message somewhere in here? Nevertheless, I don't see how an eating club can be the refuge for a whole race...</p>
<p>But this is how the clubs work...they close, they re-open, it all depends on how popular it is. I think it's quite democratic actually. It's not like Campus has to be gone forever; it always has a chance of resurrection. </p>
<p>What was Cannon like?</p>
<p>Yeah, a post was deleted. Totally disjointed the thread, heh.</p>
<p>Clubs only re-open if they can keep from having to sell the building to the University to pay off debts. Once that happens, it's a lot more final. Since they're rarely made into student-space, and often remodeled, there's unfortunately little hope of resurrecting a club "as itself." Cannon actually bought theirs back, and by "Cannon" I actually mean the collective alumni of Dial, Elm, and Cannon which merged into the DEC shortly before dying. (When I was a freshman, it was Notestein Hall, the Writing Center.) As for the feasibility of opening new clubs, without some major fundraising or strings-attached university cooperation, it would be near-impossible to buy a building due to property values in the area. <em>That's</em> why it's sad to see a club die.</p>
<p>Cannon was legendarily debaucherous, with a double taproom. When they realized that they wouldn't be able to reopen, they spent their last funds on an enormous truckload of Oreo cookies and beer, and drowned their sorrows. Or so the legend goes. According to the Princeton Tiger, this was in 1969, so... possibly apocryphal.</p>
