Coke machines
"Soda" is actually called ''pop'' [http://www.popvssoda.com by some people]. Others try to please most demographics by refering to it as "soda pop," while still others, for some inexplicable reason, call all varieties of soda "coke." The title of this section is able to sidestep this issue, as Coca-Cola Co. has a deal with the college to provide free beverages in the dining halls in return for the exlusive right to put vending machines on campus, thus all soft drinks here may be justifiably gathered under the term "Coke."
=== Schow Entrance '62 CTD Basement === Located in the depths of the lower level in the mini-kitchen. The card reader does not work and if you ask for your dollar bill back it gives you quarters instead.
Probably the most-used on campus. Nifty dispenser. Runs out of Diet Coke frequently. Known to eat cards. The only machine with Dr.Pepper, also known to contain diet coke with lime just after being re-stocked.===Art Studio===
HasAlbeit unreliable when it comes to using change (the coin slot has been broken for quite some while), the soda machine takes cards and dollar bills. Located on the 2nd floor of Spencer, in the past, been very convenient for [[Williams Trivia]] players seeking caffeine at 5 AMnook next to the couches.
=== Bronfman Basement ===
A good alternative if the Schow machine is empty. Has been known to emit two bottles of diet coke for the price of one on more than one occassion, perhaps due to the fact that the bottle sometimes gets stuck while being dispensed and some don't think to reach up and pull it out. It can be frustrating, however, that there are three slots for regular coke despite the fact that diet coke is frequently sold out.
=== Dodd Kitchen Brooks === It's a coke product machine underneath the staircase as you go down to the basement. Be forewarned, however, that it steals coins--don't even bother with them.

Machines on both sides.
 
The snack machine in the lounge/pool room gives an error message and steals $.75 about every other time a card is inserted.
Located in the basement. Was the cause of much frustration for certain upperclassmen living there this past summer; never accepted either cash or cards, necessitating the meticulous collection of loose coins before making a trip downstairs.
