[Ponte Alto] Recruiting at Colleges

[Kevin of Thornbury]

You're probably referring to the practice in the gym, which was

That's where I first found the SCA.  The problem with that is that it
generally requires faculty to sponsor a medieval club on campus to use
the facilities.

But I'll agree, it was a good practice, even if we did have to haul
stuff from Lot K.
