Is both empty and seemingly dysfunctional. The card acceptance/rejectionreader does not work and if you ask for your dollar bill back it gives you quarters instead. This machine is notable for being one of the few on campus that distributes CANS of soda, rather than plastic bottles. On one hand, you get less soda per order- on the other hand, sometimes you just want to satisfy a small craving, not chug a 400+ fl. oz bottle. This machine is perfect for those times. Also, each can is only 65 cents. That's AMAZING when compared to the exorbitant pricing of some machines (I'm looking at you, eating dollar-twenty-five-soda-machine-just-outside-of money-Schow). ===Art Studio=== Albeit unreliable when it comes to using change (the coin slot has been broken for quite some while), the soda machine takes cards and any other advice/warningsdollar bills. Located on the 2nd floor of Spencer, in the nook next to the couches. === Brooks ===

A good alternative if the Schow machine This one is empty. Has been known to emit two bottles of diet coke for outside the price of one on more than one occassion, perhaps due to building in the fact that the bottle sometimes gets stuck while being dispensed and some don't think to reach up and pull it outoverhang.

It's between the Big House and the annex. It dispenses Coke products, and it has the motion sensor thing. If you duck, stealthily, you can avoid activating the motion sensor every time you come in the door. This saves energy.

For a faultless vend, 24 hours a day (you might have to come in through the security door on the East side and walk down the whole hall... occasionally well worth it though). As of Nov. 30th, refuses to take coins, although still delivers when presented a crisp Washington.
