The Den of Slack is a sink for productivity -- a siren's call to [[WARPies]] and those like them. It is not ''designed'' to serve this purpose -- designing things takes effort -- it merely comes to be. Why hasn't that Senior Prospect resident not applied to grad school yet? The Den of Slack. Why is there, at all hours of the day, always someone sleeping in the first floor common room of Fitch? It's the Den of Slack. What keeps the [[Odd Quad|Odd Quadders]] under wraps? The Den of Slack: at once the pinnacle and the chasm, the heartwood and its decay, eternally the source of balance in the Odd Quad.
The Den is typically equipped with a giant collection of Magic cards, bean bag chairs and other furnishings you might find left out by the side of the road, at least three video game systems, and numerous games to go with them. One would think, as the Den serves many people, that each system would need many controllers, but this is not the case, as the sort that frequent the Den are perfectly content to watch each other level up in the RPG of the moment.
While there may always be a specific physical location on campus called the Den, just as home is where the heart is, the Den of Slack is ''really'' wherever slack is a true constant, a way of life that has seeped into the very bones if its denizens.
== History ==
In 2003 - 2004, the first year [[Jonathan Landsman|I]] encountered the term and the place, the Den was located in the [[Fitch]] 1st floor south-central common room, whose adjoining rooms were home to Zach Kung '04, Hale Simon '05, Niko White '04. When Kat Jong '07 abandoned her [[Lehman]] [[entry]] in [[Fall 2003]] to sleep in a corner of the Den -- one of few such relocations not for purposes of sex -- the Den of 2003-4 was distinguished in having a permanent resident.

The Den has at one time been a headquarters or primary meeting place for
*[[WARP]]
*[[Magic Club]]
