As luck would have it, turns out that Maxwell-Dworkin—second best deuce in the land—actually contains the best vending machines, featuring White Castle burgers, Red Baron Deep Dish pizzas, and $1 ice cream sandwiches. For us, that just about settles the whole God vs. science debate (science is better). Widener Library: Punk the stacks, let’s have some snacks!

But after winning gold, silver and bronze in 1994, the men's freestylers missed the podium for the third straight Olympics.
