Not-so-secret "secret" at Haverford
College in Pennsylvania. Refers to the series of tunnels(containing an elaborate heating/electrical system) originally constructed beneath the Haverford campus with the intention of keeping the place cozy and liveable in
Winter...has since been infiltrated by generations of Haverford undergrads
hell-bent on getting drunk/
high, wandering through the maze of subterranean pipes and passageways, risking getting caught and hollered at by the
Dean or control-freak upperclassmen..."tunneling" was totally CHOICE in the 1980'
s when most of the tunnels were still accessible and good, creepy fun could be had down there (picnics,
beer parties, nookie)...now that most of the tunnels have been walled-off, etc...it's much harder to convince a fellow-'
Ford to crawl drunkenly through 'em with you when the possibility of NEVER FINDING YOUR WAY OUT ALIVE looms and menaces. There is still the seductive lure of the yet-to-be-breached "SECRET DOOR" said to be hidden within the tunnels.
"
Screw Customs, man---let's
hit the tunnels!"
"The TUNNELS? Are you kidding me? I heard Poindexter went in last semester and
fucking disappeared. Screw that...besides, they're having cheesesteaks in the Dining Hall tonight and I wanna get in line before that big guy from my Chem class eats 'em all."
