<div>[[Category:Guides]] [[Category:Dining]]<br />
Coffee is a part of life for many Williams students. Fortunately, there are many places to go for a cup of joe.<br />
<br />
== EcoCafe ==<br />
<br />
Small: $1.00, Large: $1.25<br />
<br />
Located in Schow Atrium. Dean's Beans coffee, usually well roasted, but very weakly brewed. The best choice around for reasonably priced organic coffee, but it unfortunately closes too early in the day to be of much use to many students.<br />
<br />
== Tunnel City Coffee ==<br />
<br />
20 oz: $1.90<br />
<br />
Acidic but refreshingly bold. You don't need to drink endless cups to get your fix, just a small cup is satisfying.<br />
<br />
If you have a coffee maker, save money by brewing your own black stuff from their excellent beans. While not all blends are organic or fair-trade, the beans are roasted locally at Tunnel City's location in North Adams.<br />
<br />
== Dining Halls ==<br />
<br />
All you can drink, in any of the [[dining hall]]s.<br />
<br />
Dean's Beans coffee, sometimes a bit diluted (especially in [[Dodd Dining Hall|Dodd]].) Plus the cups are tiny, bring your own mug.<br />
<br />
== Goodrich Coffee Bar ==<br />
<br />
Small = $1.25, Large = $1.50 <br />
<br />
GCB carries Dean's Beans coffee.<br />
They have nutmeg you can put in your coffee! Be warned, however, that the quality of the actual coffee has been poor to horrendous as of late.<br />
While the coffee isn't great, the lattes are fantastic (and probably have more caffeine)!<br />
<br />
If there is "extreme caffeine" go for it, it's amazing.<br />
<br />
And one of their new [[Goodrich Combo Meals]] lets you get two nantucket nectars and a bagel with cream cheese for $4.25 of breakfast equivalency.<br />
<br />
== Dunkin' Donuts ==<br />
<br />
Coffee that is absolutely delicious, reasonably priced and conveniently available at all hours of the day, or horrible-tasting, not worth the money, and too far away - depending on whom you ask. The Williamstown location, open from 5am to 10 pm, is near Colonial Plaza, which is either a bit of a walk or a short drive. The North Adams location, at the intersection of Rt. 2 and Eagle St., is open 24/7. Note that Dunkin' Donuts only takes cash, no credit or debit.<br />
<br />
== Brewhaha ==<br />
<br />
Located in North Adams near MassMoCA (coincidence?). Excellent toasted muffins.<br />
www.cafebrewhaha.com<br />
<br />
== South Street Cafe ==<br />
<br />
A bit of a drive, but who doesn't need their Vermont fix every once in a while? Located off of Rte. 7 in Bennington. The coffee is actually Tunnel City, but the ceiling is gorgeous, the atmosphere comfortable, and the crowd composed of strangers.<br />
<br />
== [[Lambert House]] ==<br />
<br />
Like any self-respecting Seattleite, [[Alan Cordova]] has a stash of gourmet coffee and will brew a cup for you if you ask nicely.<br />
<br />
==Harper House==<br />
<br />
54 Stetson Court, totally free, and you get to use the amazing and magical machine. Coffee by Green Mountain. It helps, but is not necessary, that you be a philosophy student.<br />
<br />
==Physics Common Room==<br />
<br />
Powdered instant coffee mix for an honor system 10 cents. For emergency use only.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Chemistry 155 with Professor Park==<br />
<br />
Powdered instant coffee mix for FREE (and hot chocolate!). You'll need it. Class is MWF 8:00 - 8:50am.</div>09klfhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Thesis&diff=9443Thesis2006-04-12T01:56:49Z<p>09klf: </p>

# When in class or in the library, put your cell phone on vibrate. PLEASE.<br />
# Entering or exiting a building: look behind you to see whether anyone else is coming through the same door in the next 5 seconds. If the door will slam in the face of the person behind you, hold it open.<br />
# If you see someone right outside, and opening the door would involve no more effort than extending your arm, go ahead and give it a push.<br />
#* In particular, let the pizza dude inside, even if it ain't your pizza. We're lucky to get delivery here.<br />
# If you see someone carrying boxes, ask if there's a door you can open.<br />
# If someone is standing in front of a dorm with a sleeping bag and a prospectus, and appears to be under the age of 20, offer to swipe the person in.<br />
# If you cook in a kitchen, for God's sake, clean up after yourself. Don't leave your spaghetti sauce on the stove top until spring break. If you cook and "that mess was there when I got here," just take a few minutes and clean it up anyway. Your guests probably don't want to eat in filth.<br />
# If there's only one omelet left at the dining hall, ask the person behind you if they want half.<br />
# Don't throw your old sardines, or any other stinky refuse, into the bathroom trash can. There is a trash room.<br />

#* Find somebody who genuinely doesn't understand WHY wearing a hat indoors is considered offensive, and explain it to them in a polite and, above all, well-reasoned manner. Because, seriously, I don't get it.<br />
#**It's not necessarily ''offensive,'' but it is ''courteous'' to remove hats. It's something I picked up from military customs and courtesies (and before that, teachers; and before that, parents). Two reasons: First, you can see a person's whole face/head better without a hat, and so personal interactions are more open and expressive without it. Second, leaving a hat and/or jacket on indoors gives the impression that the person is about to leave the building and, presumably, the people in the building with whom they are interacting. When I have a coat/hat on indoors and am talking to my parents, for instance, I'm liable to hear the expression, "hey, take off your coat and stay a while!"<br />
#* Don't begrudge people who leave hats and jackets on indoors given Williamtown's near arctic climate.<br />
#** Hey, presumably it's not subzero ''indoors.'' (Well, in most [some?] buildings.) And baseball caps do very little to keep people warm. Regardless, even the military makes exceptions to this courtesy for temperature, religion, etc.<br />
#* how about receding hairlines? do those warrant keeping the hat on? or what about just a bad hairday? nasty scar? pimple? <br />
# Say hello to people you meet. If someone else says hello to you, respond in kind. Bonus points for smiling while saying hello.<br />
# Don't destroy or abuse property. Particularly not if it belongs to somebody else.<br />
# Say "excuse me" rather than just pushing past people in a crowd or a constricted space.<br />
# If you are in the library and feel the need to talk to someone on your cellphone, have your conversation in an area where people aren't studying nearby. Also refrain from having loud, long conversations with other people in the library when people are trying to study around you.<br />
# If you yak or see someone yak in a place that's a bit out of the way--a basement, far-off corner, or anywhere that isn't a toilet, really--make your best effort to tell someone responsible that there's a stinky, biohazardous mess on the floor.<br />
# Don't leave your laundry in the washer or dryer for hours after it's done. No one wants to touch your wet underwear to move it out of the way and other people like having clean clothes too.<br />
# When putting up your tray in Greylock or Mission Dining Hall, gently place your silverware into the cloudy blue dishwashing solution, don't throw it in there and splash everyone around you. Oh yeah, and don't try to compost paper cups, saltine wrappers etc...there's a trash can for that.<br />
# Compost your napkins and tea bags.<br />
# When putting your tray away at any dining hall, have the courtesy not to cut other people who are waiting in line to do the same thing, even if you are rushed. If you can't resist the urge to cut people when you are rushed, give yourself enough time to put your tray away before you need to leave for class or whatever else you need to go to after a meal.<br />
#* In fact, don't cut people when you aren't rushed; for instance, in the line for First Fridays. Being drunk and not wearing enough clothing on a cold night are not excuses.<br />
# Wave to, nod, or mouth "thank you" to drivers who stop for you to cross on a pedestrian crossing. It's the law for them to stop, but it's still polite when they do because many don't.<br />
#* Look both ways before you cross the street, even if you're at a crosswalk.<br />
# Don't write things in ALL CAPS. or all lowercase, for that matter. Ever.<br />
# When in a library, kindly turn the light off when you leave a carrel.<br />
# Avoid egregious public displays of affection. <br />
#*(Also note if one displays egregious PDA it is apparently innappropriate to create a wiki about it--this was news to me)<br />
#** (More like "it's common courtesy not to gossip.")<br />
# If you're done using a public computer, close all the windows so people know it's not in use.<br />
# Don't sample random people's shampoo, toothpaste, face wash, etc just because it's in the bathroom.<br />
# Thank the cardswiper people in the dining halls.<br />
# Turn off the television when you leave and no one else is watching, even if it's a TV in a public space. ''Especially'' if it's a TV in a public space.<br />
#Don't steal.<br />
# If someone farts in Schow, make believe you didn't hear it. (Even though you did and it's hilarious)<br />
# When watching a movie when other people are present, don't talk (unless the movie is awful and the group as a whole wants to).</div>09klfhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Michael_Hagerty&diff=7768Michael Hagerty2006-02-28T16:53:14Z<p>09klf: </p>

<div>Michael Hagerty has a very interesting [[Rugby Football Club]] nickname with a very entertaining [[etymology]]. He was also the chief promotor of the unsuccessful phrase 'challa-bread' used to denote things that were [[cool]].<br />
<br />
Michael also plays the mandolin and is very willing to tell any number of the shady stories he has formulated in his travels through this world.<br />
<br />
He also doesn't know what [[etymology]] means.<br />
<br />
His only childhood friend was a stuffed lion baby named Lion Baby that Michael likes to refer to as him rather than it. You can find him resting peacefully upon his bed, where he was violated by an inebriated and delusioned person who would very much prefer to remain anonymous.<br />
<br />
He showers 1-2 times a week and is a fascist.<br />
<br />
One time Mike killed a hobo just to get an erection...Forever in Blue Jeans.<br />
<br />
<br />
Has never wiped. Not once.</div>09klfhttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Michael_Hagerty&diff=7542Michael Hagerty2006-02-21T04:16:14Z<p>09klf: </p>
