Party's over at my former university residence.

One of the University of Toronto's last all-male residence – Gate House, which lays claim to being an inspiration for the 1978 movie Animal House – is going coed after what a senior administrator calls "gross insensitivity ... flagrant acts of defiance and behaviour ... disparaging and demeaning of women."

Recent incidents included putting a cooked pig's head in a women's washroom and building a 2.5-metre snow penis outside the residence.

I lived in Caven House, two down from Gate House in Burwash Hall and the parties back in the late 60's were legendary. I'm surprised they put up with this shit for so long.

And even today if you walk into Victoria University (part of U of T), you'd think you stumbled into Oxford or Cambridge circa 1920.



Donald Sutherland lived in South House, next door to Gate House.

 

How many schools falsely claim to be the inspiration for that movie?

 

And they think going coed will solve the problems? Lord help the first few years of female residents.

 

Party's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.

 

Wow. I was shocked when MacIsaac Hall went co-ed and that was 10 years ago. But Gate House? Wow.

 

Got that right.

At least this article hedges its bet on the Sutherland thing.

Donald Sutherland lived in neighbouring South House. He co-starred with John Belushi in Animal House and his memories of Gate House toga parties are said to have influenced the movie script.

"Are said to have influenced" is about as wishy washy as you can get.

 

Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is.

 

I thought MacIssac Hall was open to men only?

 

Ahem ... spelling ... but I get the joke ... I really do.

 

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

 

Hell, no.
(Germans?
Forget it, he's rolling.)
And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the going gets tough..."
