A really important request...

(No joke I got this email with that subject line in my inbox just now...) 

Dear Faculty and Staff,

It has come to my attention that many of you do not know the name of the performance facility in the Cooper Music Center.  Many of you call it:

            Crill Auditorium which is an old fashioned name;

            Crill Hall which implies that spaghetti dinners are sometimes hosted there;

            Crill Theater which implies that the facility was built for theatrical productions and circuses.

Because of these name variations we have had requests to allow cars and pyrotechnics on the stage which the facility is not at all prepared to handle.

 It would be really great if we could all call it the same thing.  Someone suggested “Fred”, but this leaves the facility open to all kinds of unseemly interpretations.  I mandate, in my position as a benevolent dictator, that the facility be called:

            Crill Performance Hall

The Marketing Department has asked us to say :

                Crill Performance Hall

                The Cooper Music Center

In order to bring the advertising in line with the directional signs on campus.  It’s a good idea.  A really good idea.

So, if you call it “Crill Performance Hall” in your advertising material and communications I promise to refrain from  calling other buildings names like:

Rohr Technology Center

Smee Library Addition

The Turtle Building

The Wrong Academic Center

Colt Stables

Culbertson Salon

Golden Basketball Room

                Nicholson Student Hang-out

Have a really great weekend!

Sincerely,

XXX

Perhaps her and the Frig Nazi should become friends? 

Until next time...
