The People's Republic of Benedictine College (or PRBC) is a small, foot-fetished community in the rural town of Atchison, Kansas. The school community is often referred to as "The Cult of Sbeve" or, more shockingly, "Daddy Minnis's Hoes". While the school claims allegiance to Catholicism, it worships community and residentiality as a core tenet of its dystopian belief system. The school was founded by a group of monks who decided to found an abbey in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere in 1857 and name it "St. Benedict's Abbey". A year later, St. Benedict's College was founded in 1858, but apparently because that name wasn't good enough, the hippies decided to rename it Benedictine College in 1971. Visitors to the campus often remark about its excessive focus on positive architecture, friendly atmosphere, and self-proclaimed superiority, qualities which draw striking similarities to communist regimes. The leader of this community is Sbeve Minnis, who is always greeted with a deep bow, in which it is customary to hear the prostrate's back crack under the strain of worship. Commonly, members of the community kiss the ground upon which he walks, in a sign of solidarity with the foot fetish community.
History[edit | edit source]
St. Benedict's College was founded in 1858 as an all-men's boarding school on the frontier of Kansas, in order to create the ultimate sausage fest of epic proportions. With no Wal-Mart in sight and no sign of civilization for thousands of miles, there was no interference with sausage fest activities in the early years, which paved the way for this unique community to grow and flourish. While sexual attraction on campus has since changed to a fetish for exposed dawgs instead, this ancient college tradition still holds a dear place in the hearts of students. The monks braved the college's first winter with a record-setting enrollment of six students. This enrollment was eclipsed the following year with another record-setting enrollment of seven students. In an effort to keep this ancient tradition alive, Daddy Minnis regularly enjoys speaking on the record-setting enrollment of the college.
Mount St. Scholastica College was founded on the opposite end of town in 1923. As an all-women's boarding school, the girls at The Mount were often dreaming of being mounted upon by the boys across town. This sexual obsession with their co-eds in education continued for the next 48 years until the two campuses were merged.
In 1971, college administration decided that in order to make sexual activity between male and female students more accessible, the two campuses would be combined to form the single, unified Benedictine College. Another advantage taken into consideration was the fact that a unified campus would allow optimal community atmosphere, modeled after the communities of communist regimes, where the outside world is but a fleeting, distant memory. With this newfound community atmosphere, the college prioritized indoctrination into the Benedictine Way, convincing students of Benedictine superiority, and provided the college an outlet to foster a crippling caffeine addiction among inhabitants.
Academics[edit | edit source]
Students are indoctrinated. That's probably about it, so anyway let me tell you about my ... ALL RAVENS FLY HIGH, ALL RAVENS FLY HIGH, ALL RAVENS ...
As Benedictine is classified as a special education college due to the majority of absolute knuckleheads wandering around on the premises, it is to be noted that most lectures involve "a professor" yapping to "some students". After four years of paying a lot of money to repeat this process in various classrooms across campus, "the student" is then rewarded with a piece of paper that signifies something vaguely important.
Campus life[edit | edit source]
Benedictine is known nationwide as a system that avidly supports the concept of a dictatorship that includes the enforcement by a secretive police force. Just like a certain country in the 1940s, the ResLife Energetic Team Against Redundant Doofuses Systematically (R.E.T.A.R.D.S) strongly enforces a midnight curfew, employing a secret police force known as the Special Police Engagement Dictatorship-continuers (S.P.E.D.) that regularly goes around with a battering ram used to break and enter into unsuspecting student dorms and catch them in the act of drinking alcohol, playing music "too loudly" or making babies.
Spiritual life[edit | edit source]
As Benedictine is founded on supposed Catholic principles, religious and spiritual activity is a strong part of the existence at Benedictine. Several buildings on campus are well known to be haunted by the ghosts of students who died of boredom in lecture classes in Westerman auditorium, (which has reportedly claimed the lives of more than seventy students). Many students are closely affiliated with the Irish Catholic belief that contains the motto: "I go to Church on Sunday, then it's off to the Pub on Monday." This belief also holds that the more alcohol that you can replace your blood with, the holier you can become.
In accordance with the ongoing battle with students over partying and fun-having, the college creates events at certain times in an effort to prevent students from having fun. This includes having room draw on the most sacred of party days: Toga Tuesday. This year due to room draw's being nixed, they have begun to announce a procession to ... do something ... Honestly I don't even know what it's supposed to be doing. Anyway the procession will walk around for some reason and I guess that's supposed to deter students from partying?
There are several places on or around campus where students can increase their spiritual life/status. The Abbey is one of those, although it might be difficult to focus there when it looks like the badly built Minecraft house your younger cousin built on the family server. Another place is Muellers, the local pub church, where students gather to pray during the nights, singing praises loudly for hours.
Athletics[edit | edit source]
- Benedictine Football - Named after the large black bird of prey known to mimic humans AND peck their eyes, the Benedictine Ravens are the C squad of the slightly more well known Baltimore Ravens football team. It is not well known which team is the better, as both have failed to do much more than spend over $5k on new footballs every month. The average football player at Benedictine has an average body count of minus 3, contrary to what they might claim. The average IQ is also a little bit on the very low side, with a maximum of two brain cells, shared collectively by the entire squad. This leads to them being the leading cause of average class failure in any given class.
- Benedictine Tennis Team - Led by a seven-foot-tall geek, this team is entirely made up of girls with too-short skirts, and guys who think they're going to date those girls. (They won't.) The average team practice involves a maximum of two players and minimum of none (the latter being the most common practice).
- Benedictine Lacrosse - Aside from being the gayest sport on campus, the lacrosse team, or at least the men's lacrosse team, is known for holding the longest losing streak as of today. The women's team, however, is actually pretty good! The men's lacrosse team is most often far more focused on minors then they are on their majors. As with the football team, the lacrosse individual has shockingly low credit score AND IQ. They can however finance a BRAND NEW 2024 DODGE HELLCAT for ONLY 69% APR for 112 YEARS! Now THATS a deal!
- Benedictine Volleyball - Everyone on the volleyball team clearly had that weird medical operation where they break your legs to make you tall, because not ONE of them is below 9 feet tall. Talking to any of them is like trying to yell up to the third story of Newman Hall on a Tuesday afternoon. What I'm trying to say is if you are not what women consider to be REALLY FUCKING TALL, do not talk to any of them. (Warning: They might step on you if you're a midget, and your life insurance probably doesn't cover giants stepping on you.)
- Benedictine Car Racing - A Benedictine tradition, this sport involves students racing as fast as they possible can in places they probably shouldn't be racing in. Some of the most popular racetracks here at Benedictine include the Abbey Circuit, a rather small circle towards the top of the hill, and the apartment parking lot demolition derby course 500. The winner of any of these races gets rewarded usually with a large fine, but this also comes with the added benefit of gaining the total respect of nobody in particular and now your car is totaled. Good job, mate.
- Benedictine Diving - So there is this big bridge in town, and see some people ... well anyway, the diving team dives only once.
- Benedictine Soccer - Known for its drinking prowess on and off the field and not much more than that, the Benedictine soccer teams are a group of special education children who washed out of football. They enjoy kicking each other in the balls frequently, and consequently decided that kicking balls INTO other balls was a genius idea, and joined the soccer teams. The women's soccer team is fairly good at kicking the ball into the net, but the men's team is more focused on watching the women's team than actually scoring any points. Oh lawd.
- Benedictine Basketball - The Benedictine Basketball team is composed of several large trees that somehow grew legs and decided they wanted to throw a ball around. Their games would probably be hype if more than one person showed up to watch them, but unfortunately dropping a ball in a hoop is NOT very entertaining, especially when they miss most of the shots anyway.
- Benedictine Track and Field/Cross Country - These teams, generally combined into the sport of "running" here at Benedictine, are composed entirely of theater kids who feel the need to get some exercise, as yelling at each other and crawling around on stage is retarded and not exactly exercise worthy. None of these kids will be caught dead in the gym, so they spend the majority of their time in ice baths and hiding in closets (definitely not because the football players put them there!).
- Benedictine Intramurals - The intramural teams are 99% failed student athletes and people who wish they were actually good at sports. The 1% is a bunch of tryhards who try too hard and usually play in B league when they should be in A league. The most hated team of all time in any league is the Firesheep, who really aren't very good, but are the only team that ever has any subs. They come to the field with an average attendance of 5,000 players, allowing a trade in every 3 seconds or so. Even with this advantage I don't think they've ever won a championship.
- Speed Dating - Riding the line between sport and cult-like activity, speed dating is a popular thing for the average Benedictine student to do. The speed dating pool is comprised of almost entirely homeschoolers, with a few lost souls thrown in to spice it up. The speed daters will partake in "matches" where they tell each other their names, majors, and what they want to do later in life. And... nothing else. There are no winners, only losers (everyone). Not once in the history of the universe has anyone even achieved a real date as a result of these speed dating matches, so the entire purpose of this sport is to waste peoples' time and give them a false sense of "ring-before-spring" possibility.
Benedictine's Cultural practices[edit | edit source]
Foot fetish[edit | edit source]
A sexual attraction to feet is common among inhabitants. The most well-known group on campus, otherwise known as the "caped kids" are known for antics such as Lord of the Rings cosplay, naked dawgs on full display, hanging upside down from tree limbs, and smoking out of really weird pipes. When questioned about the cosplay and smoking, one young buck was quick to explain that he can "... smoke smoke rings out of [my] smoke pipe." The common defense for barefoot walking, foot fetishes, and otherwise socially unacceptable behavior was a defense that barefoot walking allows a return to the natural arch of the foot, prioritizing sexual arousal for those who partake in this fetish.
In an attempt to curb sexual attraction to feet, the college has taken an active stance of encouraging community members to keep them dawgs covered up. This was accomplished through a campus-wide campaign promoting sexual attraction to Daddy Minnis instead. Besides Daddy Minnis, no other campus community member is allowed to display feet within any campus building.
Raven Fight Song[edit | edit source]
The Raven Fight Song is a treasured part of Benedictine Spirituality. The short chant is a way to promote school spirit and solidarity towards the early years of the college and its humble beginnings. All participants are encouraged to wear red and black and bend over with a back-breaking bow towards the Ferrell Academic Center, where Daddy Minnis' office is located.
Ravens are flying low in the sky, cheer them on their way ho ho ho
Shout out the big and black battle cry, losing always!
Sons of grand ole st benedict, raise your middle fingers high!
Soarin down the toilet, faithful to the flush, ravens always eat their mush!
Daddy Minnis[edit | edit source]
Daddy Minnis has greatly enjoyed his admiration from students, known as Daddy Minnis's Hoes. Using tunnels made in World War II to protect Benedictine from bombs (as if anyone would bomb Kansas), Sbeve has been known to appear at random points around campus, with a bright smile as he greets students. Students wearing a "Babes of Benedict's" shirt are given special attention in these scenarios. Additionally, male students wearing a "Benedictine Mom" hat and female students wearing a "Benedictine Dad" shirt receive a special blessing from Sbeve.
Parties[edit | edit source]
The People's Republic of Benedictine College is well-known for its actively villainous stance against partying, pleasure-seeking, and fun-having of any kind (see Springfest).
Holidays and other events[edit | edit source]
Homecoming[edit | edit source]
Homecoming is a once-a-year tradition where all students and faculty of Benedictine College engage in a celebration of the core tenets of the school, community and residentiality, and collectively sing the fight song whilst they storm the cafeteria looking for digestible food.
The Pep Rally[edit | edit source]
The pep rally is technically a part of the homecoming week, but due to it being a truly agonizing 45 minutes or so of pure nonsense, it has been given its own spot here. In essence, its a a sort of competition where each hall/dorm has all their people com out and cheer while chosen members from each dorm/hall form teams to perform lip-sync battles. Not sure why it is called lip-sync battle when there isn't a lot of lip-syncing... but hey whatever. Some claim that there are practices for these events, but from what one generally sees, its more like they met the day before and decided to do some TikTik dances. Its also totally not rigged! Scholastica Hall is a bunch of lil stinkies, but boy howdy can they yell loud! Not quite as loud as when they are running away from the Turner and Newman boys, but still pretty loud. The Joe itself only has a population of 50, and 45 of those are literal squeaking rats, and as a result their performance is usually... cheesy? The rest are just a tossup: they can giga-suck, turbo-suck, or be sorta meh. No in between options EVER. That is just how it is, deal with it!
Sadie Hawkins[edit | edit source]
The Sadie Hawkins dance is the one dance where the girls have to be the ones to ask the guys out. Unfortunately for the men of Benedictine, no girl will ever ask any of them out, so these dances tend to be less populated than a city that's been struck with a thermonuclear bomb. If by some really insane luck you DO get asked out, it will be by a specific type, and you will have to learn to say no pretty quick unless you want to live with that girl in the ocean! (whale noises)
Jam For the Lamb[edit | edit source]
Jam For the Lamb is a major campus event that occurs once per semester. In essence it's a sort of talent show, but in reality it's simply an abscess of talent with a few of the most popular kids pretending they actually have any skills at all aside from projectile vomiting, binge drinking, and skipping classes.
Some of the "talents" demonstrated during the performance include:
- Singing (Very off-key.)
- Dancing (Does waving your arms and jumping about really count?)
- Juggling (Okay, maybe actual talent.)
- Standup (Don't you just LOOOVE the "your mom" jokes?)
As you can see, truly talented individuals here.
Springfest[edit | edit source]
Springfest is a well-known tradition on campus to celebrate the end of the school year. During this time, the college throws random games for the ultra-homeschooled, while everyone else goes off campus and tests the limits of their liver for four days straight. With notable events such as "power hour", "the fights", and whatever other random shit people come up with, this weekend is an integral part of Benedictine culture. Last year, someone rented a mechanical bull from an illegal alien, which provided about thirty minutes of entertainment before the mechanical bull broke down. In response to the crime of having "too much fun", the People's Republic of Benedictine College usually mobilizes the full resources of the R.E.T.A.R.D.S. and S.P.E.D. team. In a style similar to Nazi Germany, these units camp outside of entrances to all residence halls to perform mandatory bag checks and sniff (snort?) drinks before entry to any residence hall. Failure to produce "papers" (student identification) is grounds for execution.
The Spring Formal[edit | edit source]
Occurring only once a year, the Spring Formal is considered to be a high point for the college, but a low point for the students. Tickets for this "exclusive" event range from $75 for a couple to $40 for a single person. Now, no single person in a stable state of mind would ever dream of showing up to the Spring Formal by themselves. The writer of this article made that mistake once, and $40 was the only thing I lost ! No, not my virginity, I lost that to a water bottle I found in the back of a bus on the way to Grand Rapids, Michigan. The college gets very excited to announce that tickets are "selling out fast" when in fact the usual attendance at the dance is three feral homeschoolers and five wallflowers. In short, there are always tickets to be had, not that they are desired at all.
Mob Monday[edit | edit source]
Mob Monday is quite possibly the best day of the year, as this is when a mob of the finest men of Benedictine form to storm the streets of Atchison in search of an image of their beloved king, Eugene. Eugene is a painting depicting the greatest man to ever live, Eugene (Fitzgerald or Fitzwalter maybe?). The fine mob of men will ransack the women's houses in Atchison to find clues the women leave for them, which will lead to Eugene. Once Eugene is acquired, the lads will then cleanse him with the sacred nectar of the gods, beer, and carouse and celebrate his greatness on Toga Tuesday the following evening.
Room Draw[edit | edit source]
Room Draw is one of the most hated days known to the student body, second only to the study day before finals. Room draw is meant to be an efficient way for the school to place students in their respective housing for the next school year. Unfortunately it is the most inefficient, impractical, painful, and depressing mess ever to be officially organized by a college on our planet. Not even mentioning the fact that they strategically place it on the only fun party day of the year in hopes of ruining the fun, its just... bleh. The school will cram up to half the student body into the cafeteria and then pretend its like some sort of game as they rip friends away from each other and sentence the best of us to the darkest pits of hell on campus (see: Newman Hall). If one DOES end up getting the hall or residence they so desired, then they should immediately go and buy a lottery ticket.
Toga Tuesday[edit | edit source]
Another student favorite, Toga Tuesday is when all the students dress up as Roman Senators, and as usual, wreck the town in search of "fun." Activities include, drinking, drinking while driving, drinking while drinking, and other similar drinking activities. Toga Tuesday is designated as a terrorist activity by the college, and they try their hardest to prevent it from occurring every year. Preventative measures include: Having room draw occur at the same time, making a procession to protest it, and saying "don't go" in student emails. Students don't give a shit, and usually go anyway. The S.P.E.D. force is very active during this time, but to their great rage, they are limited to the campus grounds and cannot interfere with the partying.
Notable places on campus[edit | edit source]
The library[edit | edit source]
The library. <sigh>
The New (and improved) Library![edit | edit source]
Well this is crazy, since the OG library got razed to the ground in a massive cloud of dust one fateful summer, the college has decided to replace it with a 1:1 scale replica of some library in Boston! The work has been surprisingly quick, and students can expect to find a gigantic brand new building rising above the BC skyline very shortly. Unfortunately due to "budget cuts," there will be no additional parking lot attached, meaning the college is once again going to make a killing on parking tickets. Fuck's sake no one has $100 sitting around to pay a stupid ticket! It is also worth noting that while the library appears to be in a decently far stage of growth, it has been made public that there is a shortage of about $10,000,000! One can only wonder where that money went, but the only thing we know for a fact is that not a cent of it will have anything to do with a parking lot. Chances are it will be used to hire a bulldozer to remove some more parking lots. Whatever. This brand new library will also have a replica of a board room from the 1700s for some reason, as well as a neat little tower that us student no doubt will not be able to visit due to it being high enough to– well you get the point.
The Quad[edit | edit source]
A sort of park where you can walk. (Crying here is NOT allowed here and the penalties for doing so are a week's worth of hard labor in the cafeteria.)
The Raven Walk[edit | edit source]
The Raven Walk was devised by scientists in the 1900s as a form of psychological and mental torture for students. The bright and cheery student waking up to go to an 8am class would see the torture device in place before the academic buildings, and immediately lose all hope and resolve to then become the sluggish and depressed student that we all expect to see on a typical campus.
Consisting of 1,234,456,999 steps, each seven feet tall, the Raven Walk is considered a form of exercise by the more physically fit student, but even they struggle to breathe.
Newman Hall[edit | edit source]
The worst of all the residence halls on campus is undoubtedly Newman Hall. Newman hall was built in the year 1200 to be a prison for clowns who tried to escape the circus. Having nothing better to do than breed rats, they (through the process of evolution), eventually came up with what we now know to be called Newman residents. Some may still retain their rat-like tendencies. (Some have rat tails, and others have whiskers. They claim it's just a beard but we know better.)
Newman residents will furiously deny any allegations that their hall is worse than the competition's – Turner (or T-Nasty as it's called) – and will attribute the fact that they've never won anything in the yearly campus battles to "we just didn't bother trying this year."
If you spot a Newman resident, approach with extreme caution, do not mention Turner, and be prepared to toss granola bars and healthy food to them.
Turner Hall[edit | edit source]
Known as the place where cleanliness comes to die, Turner Hall is the most poorly maintained building on campus. If you decide to venture into the Amazon Rainforest (aka Turner Hall's communal bathrooms), be prepared to see a stall without a door (because shitting with friends is FUN!), pubic hair in the showers, urine in clogged sinks and vomit on the floor. In fact, it's so bad that even the campus cleaning crew stays clear of the Turner bathrooms, because we all know that if they thoroughly cleaned it, it would only last a solid 45 minutes to get trashed again.
On the flip side, if you're looking to get some foot action, this is a great place to be.
The apartments[edit | edit source]
Aside from being objectively the nicest on campus housing possible to achieve for a student, these brutalist structures dating back to the first crusades, (give a take a million years), come fully loaded with state of the art technology and furniture from the middle ages! Want to turn up the A/C? You can't! Is it getting cold in the -20 degree Kansas winter? Hope you brought some firewood! The chairs and sofa can also be used as fuel for heating purposes as well, as they are neither suitable for sitting or taking a nap, but you will be fined a minimum of $150 at the end of the semester purely for breathing near them. The parking here is by far some of the worst anywhere, and it is recommended to not sign up for a parking permit and just park on the street behind the apartments. If one is a goody-two-shoes, there are some available options:
- Park in the faculty lot and get a ticket.
- Park about a mile away and walk.
- Don't own a car and be a gay scooter user
The Caf[edit | edit source]
Truly the most miserable place to ever exist on God's green earth, the caf is where failed chefs go to create the most unholy abominations known to man, that is then served up to unsuspecting students as "food". What. The. Fuck.
The average student will leave the Caf with at LEAST a mild case of lethal food poisoning, severe acid reflux, and major brain damage. Both student Republicans and student Democrats are in bipartisan standing agreement that the caf is the single worst thing that ever happened to the college.
As noted before, the Caf also doubles as a prison/rehabilitation center for students caught by the R.E.T.A.R.D.S. and their S.P.E.D. force.
Crimes can result in punishments including: having to eat a full plate of caf food, having to talk to caf workers, and becoming an honorary caf worker for up to a month.
The Caf will occasionally pull a reverse Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde when prospective students or their parents come to visit campus. As a result of this twisted backwards transformation, the food becomes strangely edible, the Caf workers fake smiles, and the drink and ice cream machines begin working again. One might even escape withOUT getting a hospital trip worthy case of indigestion! The catch here is that oftentimes the student population is banished to find food in the gym or JPII center, meaning they still get some weird form of food found in some dark pit in Abbeyland.
The Abbey[edit | edit source]
Built in the 70s under the influence of various drugs, the Abbey is most commonly known as "that place that looks like the shit my little cousin built in Minecraft". The Abbey is the congregation point for the majority of cult members on campus, where they come together to discuss foot size and whether flip-flops count as bare feet. When not being used by these irreverent fools, this is where the student body attends Mass.
Parking lots[edit | edit source]
Haha you really thought we had those here? Get lost.
Holy Grounds[edit | edit source]
Widely regarded as the main point of congregation for the foot fetish community and otherwise sheltered homeschoolers, Holy Grounds is unfortunately the main coffee shop on campus, and certainly not as holy as the name might make you think. (It's not like grounds can even go to Church right?) While the walls are decorated with college photos and memorabilia from years past, it is not uncommon for the fetish community to adorn the walls with black-and-white photos of themselves in an apparent effort to stay relevant long into the future (and the past). It is also not uncommon to see numerous flies, gnats, sticky tables and stinky feet exposed when one enters the premises, as the average homeschooler has no concept of cleanliness or self-grooming. The wait times are legendary in the sense that it can take upwards of 20 minutes to get a cup of ice water (With no ice. With ice is an extra 5 minutes!). One can expect to find baristas that have experienced some form of trauma, as they all seem to express attitudes of wanting nothing more than to cease existing.
Ferrell Academic Center[edit | edit source]
The only place in the world where within the space of about 15 square feet it can be both -10 AND 109 degrees Fahrenheit at the same time! Ferrell Academic Center, or FAC, (or FUC even), is the administration building from where the administration administrates. Oh yeah and there are also a bunch of classrooms in it, but not much learning happens here on account of legacy business majors who don't do much other than party. The other majors in here are theology, philosophy, and marketing. Students also come here to "study" late at night. Some fun activities that take place in FAC are: breaking into cafe 62, airplaying dank memes on classroom projectors, and racing wheelchairs in the hallways.
Café 62[edit | edit source]
Located in the Ferrell Academic Center, Cafe 62 is the highest coffee shop on campus and part of the "cool kids club". It is frequented by students and faculty alike. The most common complaint about Cafe 62 is the short supply of table space, which is in part due to an excessively large doorway on the floor below it which extends into the coffee shop. It is rumored that the crawlspace between this doorway and the entryway below it houses the bodies of students who ate too much caf food and died.
Haverty Pool[edit | edit source]
Due to shifting priorities in the college's history, an underground pool is located on campus underneath the Haverty Center. This pool is rumored to have once contained sharks, whales, and your mother. Due to the excessive space taken up by your mother, the college decided the pool was no longer feasible and posed no benefits to the school, so the floor was demolished and a wrestling arena was installed on top of it. Despite being closed to the public, numerous incidents of students squeezing through a small hole in a wall has allowed them access to a crawlspace where the pool was once located. On the other side, one may encounter a decommissioned Bird scooter, which is a remnant of a past age in Atchison history when students regularly vandalized publicly rentable transportation.
Haverty[edit | edit source]
It could be argued that Haverty was designed as a place for students to study, but it's rather difficult when the second story is a massive gym court, the basement is a wrestling arena, there is a series of tunnels and an enclosed abandoned pool in the basement, and the rest of it is fully of extremely noisy students busy "studying" with all five thousand of their equally chatty and annoying friends, (i.e. you can't study here).
There is also a food distribution center here under the name of "The Roost", which is fairly apt because the only things that come out of it taste sort of like what comes out of a bird's nest: bird poo. (I'm kidding, Haverty food actually rocks, just be wary of undercooked chicken wings.) The chances of you getting sick and dying here are significantly less than your chances are at the Caf, leading the majority of students to rush here during lunchtime, where they stand in food lines stretching for miles, waiting to be served.
Westerman Hall[edit | edit source]
Named after some random guy who paid a whole bunch of money a whole lot of years ago, Westerman houses the so-called sciences such as biology and chemistry (not social chemistry mind you, or I wouldn't still be single! Haha!!!). The engineering, math, and computer science majors also take place in Westerman, but usually inside the walls as that is where rats like them belong. Westerman is also home to Westerman Auditorium, a windowless hellscape that if you squint hard enough, could be compared to a sort of area where a large number of students can pretend to pay attention in class to the professor at the bottom of the room. Westerman also houses several meth labs as well.
St. Benedict Hall[edit | edit source]
This building harkens from the bygone time of the ancient Greeks, and has not in any way attempted to get with the modern times. The "elevator" in this building is run by a system of wheels and pulleys powered by the rats found in Newman Hall (the ones that aren't eaten by the freshman, that is). This power solution is also what keeps the "lights" on in the building. In the basement can be found the lair of the theater kids, a dark smelly little room where it is forbidden to enter unless you can recite the entire script to Hamilton backwards while standing on your head. There is also a little theater down there where the students can watch plays. The first floor contains, or DID contain, the admissions office. This place consisted of a bunch of student workers who spent more time talking about each other's nails than doing any work. The next few floors are a mix of professor's offices, and some classrooms. Most of these are windowless or have something not very closely resembling a window to let in light. The top floor has the most classrooms for some reason, and due to the rats dying often and causing the elevator to stop working, students must trudge up the million flights of stairs to get to class at 8am. These stairs are the true evil of the college, as they very easily become slippery and lethal. It is recommended that a student either climb on all fours up the stairs, or just call in sick when the stairs are wet.
Elizabeth Hall[edit | edit source]
Elizabeth Hall, or Liz, is a female dorm most well known for having an elevator that conveniently breaks down at 11:57 every night, causing all the men to fall down the many flights of stairs in an attempt to not be written up. The elevator is a true wonder of the modern world, and even when working properly, requires a strong arm to shove the doors shut at a speed faster than a decrepit snail dying of bone cancer. A cool fact about Liz is that it was built well over 100 years ago and was funded by some actual king in Europe! I think he was German or something, I don't really know, and I don't really care. Liz originally was built to house the monks at the next door church, but at some point everyone decided that kicking out all the monks and dropping a bunch of fatherless girls in said building was a good idea. Liz smells like a mix of febreeze and weed, and also has a ground floor study area known as "the dungeon." On the top floor is a sunroom that is also supposedly for studying, but it is taken up 24/7 by a bible study group that mostly just sleeps in there.
McDonald Hall[edit | edit source]
While not nearly as popular as its local namesake, (a sort of nightly pilgrimage was formed to honor the Atchison McDonalds), McDonald Hall is a semi-large women's hall that is "popular" with sophomores. Made to resemble a cheap motel you might find by the side of the road in Nevada, McDonald is a place of evil and depression, and is where friendships go to die. Most suites have around 8 women living in each one, which THE FUCK who thought that was a smart idea? Contrary to what residents and past residents will tell you, there is not a single friend group that made it through McDonald Hall alive. It is also unique in that you have to walk about 10 miles to get to the laundry room, only to find out that none of the machines are working. The most infamous of the suites is suite J, known for housing the biggest of all the clowns to ever exist on campus, [REDACTED]! There are several lesser known suites, but all of them are known for the same thing: herpes– I mean crazy people. McDonalds has a parking lot immediately behind it, which is mostly filled with students who couldn't park in the apartments, nearly a mile away. This explains the long line of depressed students returning from Walmart laden with bags trudging through McDonalds to return to their little goblin goon caves.
The Orthopedic School (a hypothetical)[edit | edit source]
While this does not exist as of this moment, there are a few things we do know about it that will be there. A parking lot is not one of those things. There will be a dedicated crying room for all the students failing the medical classes, and there will be a roof mounted surface to air missile launcher to deter students flying drones to try and look at the dead body collection in the all new Benedictine morgue.
Benedettos[edit | edit source]
This is the least well known restaurant on campus, most likely due to the fact it has a severe identity crisis. This place cannot go a single semester without turning into a knockoff version of a chain restaurant. Restaurants its has impersonated in the past include: Domino's Pizza, Chipotle, A barbecue restaurant, and most recently a crack den! Benedettos is also located about a mile away from the main part of campus, and the only places nearby are the two sophomore men's dorms and the nursing building. The trek to Benedettos is not the worst thing imaginable, except for the fact that the stairs leading from the McDonalds parking lot towards Benedettos were built by an actual psychopath. One cannot take on stair or two at a time due to their weird size, so you have to hop skip up like a retarded 3 year old. One can only hope there are no women present when attempting these stairs. It is advised that the stair climber instead just climb the hill on hands and knees.
Moments of Fame/Infamy[edit | edit source]
The 2024 Commencement Speech[edit | edit source]
Since Wikipedia is slow on the draw, we here at uncyclopedia bring you our unbiased take on what happened on that fateful day in May 2024. So the school in its infinite wisdom decided that the best person to bring in to give a speech to new grads was a guy who can kick a ball pretty well. Thats about it. So anyhoo, this guy comes in and says a bunch of stuff, some of it ok, some not so ok. People loved it and/or hated it, and everyone (5 people) went nuts for a bit. It was pretty crazy! I threw a banana at somebody, and I didn't even know what their view was on it, I just wanted to throw the banana. It made a pretty big mess, what a chump! Poor guy walking around with banana mushed on his face! I remember the day clearly like it was yesterday, probably because it WAS yesterday!
The YikYak Threat[edit | edit source]
Way back in 2015, long before you were suckling at your mother's tatas, YikYak was actually something fun and worth using unlike now. There was said to be absolutely no moderation whatsoever on the app, and while this was true in regards to the inane amounts of racist comments posted, it was not the case this time. A foolish young woman by the name of... I can't remember honestly, got a level 5 felony (holy fuckin shit girl) for announcing that she was"sorry for what she was about to do." While this was most likely in regards to her leaving an absolute warship in the JPII 2nd floor toilet and NOT bringing a gun to class, that wasn't how the feds read it! The campus was placed under a half-hearted lockdown and all 3 of the local police officers walked around a little faster. Hooray for the Atchison PD! Finally doing something other than harassing the lads at Muellers. Wooooooo! Anyway, YikYak made a resurgence lately, but due to it sucking horribly and being nothing but a place where the baseball players and football players can ask for blowjobs and/or footjobs from each other, not much else happens. It is to be noted that NO women reside on the app anymore, so anything remotely sexual is automatically gay and should be downvoted. I'm not homophobic, thats just the rules! If you don't believe me, you're gay. If you're already gay, then you're double gay, or straight, and not on YikYak. Get it? Dweeb.
My Graduation![edit | edit source]
While not as big of a deal as the more well known "Graduation" by Kanye West, my graduation was certainly a day to remember. I woke up (late of course), and trudged over to the Abbey at an ungodly hour to "photos" or something, but turns out I was instead trapped in a line of fellow graduates for over 4 hours while the orchestrators attempted to do... something. Eventually, by the time we were all sick and tired of standing in a line, they drove us with chains and whips down to the "B" to take yet another photo. After that, we were dispersed and told to reassemble at a later time to get our diplomas. So we had to get back together, stand in the gym, listen to talks, kick ourselves for not bringing a water bottle, and then eventually got to endure the most shameful thing ever to happen to yours truly. When everyones name would get called, people would clap and cheer like nuts. My name got called... and well I didn't want to stand up... NOBODY CHEERED. Maybe next time i graduate I should just do it remotely to save myself the embarrassment. Seriously though guys, what the fuck I wasn't THAT unpopular right? On another note I wasn't actually supposed to be graduating that year so it was more or less an official prank so... oopsie hehe! I'm still gonna say it was the haters though!
The Procession of 2024[edit | edit source]
BC and the S.P.E.D. team realized finally that they have next to no influence off campus regarding parties and happenings, so in an attempt to cull the parties during toga tuesday 2024, they set up a procession that would wind around town, conveniently near all the party houses. This was done to try and shame everyone into not partying. Imagine their surprise when the Sacrament came around town, all the partygoers turned down the music and went outside to kneel as It passed. Ahhh sweet karma. The group that put it on, FOCUS, was probably seething that nobody did anything dumb, so in the end they just looked kind of silly trying to prove we were all crazy. Which we are, but we know when not to be. What a time.
