message: I plan on removing the hot tub and screw rule stuff etc. (latter part of the page). It just seems too trivial to leave in. Any thoughts or objections? Barry Wells 02:21, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Hot Tub routine sounds like something that could cause significant problems for everyone concerned (as in flooding and ceiling collapse) at Saugeen-Maitland Hall. In my view at least, it doesn't belong on the page, along with the so-called Screw Rule and most, if not all, of the Miscellaneous stuff. Barry Wells 19:27, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Saugeen has their own wiki, right? They can put that stuff there. Adam Bishop 19:42, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The website probably would not be allowed to put anything that promotes the destruction of the washrooms because it is owned by housing. (as far as i know). Maybe if there was a "trivia" subheading then the hot tub info may be more appropriate. The Vince-alator 03:50, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I put the mirrors tradition back in because it is part of Saugeen and it's not trivial or useless. I lived there for 2 years and both times it was something a lot of people took part in. Check out the Ivy league school's pages; they have traditions listed in there. I also have a collection of Saugeen yearbooks ranging from 1983-2003. I think the bits of trivia about that residence is what makes it interesting and unique. Sarnya
Building a hot tub in the showers by using bedboards to block the entranceway to the showers and then taping around the sides and bottom to make a watertight seal has been done every year at Saugeen. 
You could only do it on a night when you knew the Floor Senior/R.A. and/or the unit Don were gone for the evening. Inevitably someone would be too hammered and break the seal, sending a foot and a hlaf of water rushing into the hallways out of both doors to the bathroom. The stench from the carpets over the next week or 2 was unbearable.Drywall11 01:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Okay, now that we're keeping (no consensus, for now) the separate article for Saugeen Stripper, shouldn't we link to it from this article?? I'd rather discuss things here than get into another edit war.  -- nae'blis (talk) 19:52, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I had another former resident of the building post this for me to prove it's not just 1 person's opinion. Sarnya
I have a bunch of stuff behind my mirror. I pulled out the mirror in a bunch of other rooms and many of them had lots of things behind them as well. The Vince-alator 22:59, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a tradition at Saugeen-Maitland Hall that residents leave a gift or some memorabilia behind their bedroom mirrors.  This tradition is not limited to Saugeen. Residents at Breen-Phillips Hall at University of Notre Dame have also taken part in this tradition. 
Maybe we can keep things like this (traditions, crazy pranks, hot tubs, etc.) on the talk page, at least until we can find it mentioned in the news somewhere. Rawr 04:33, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mirrors 

message: The Vince-alator recently added this, and I removed it as being unsourced and (for the first part) unremarkable. My school allowed preferential dorm selection too, and we weren't an especially notable "party school". He asked for it to be put back in though, so I'm bringing it here in the hopes that someone can find a source for the rumor, and weigh in on the preferential ranking thing itself.
::One of the reasons Saugeen is able to maintain a party image is mostly due to the fact that residents are able to almost choose which residence on campus they prefer to live in. The choice is done by ranking, in which the student (in the summer) ranks the order of residence they would want to live in. The higher the ranking, the better the chance is to live in that residence. How Saugeen is able to maintain such a large group of partiers is because the people who want to party and know about the history of Saugeen-Maitland Hall, choose Saugeen as their first choice. Thus, Saugeen is home to many partiers every year.
::A rumour for the 2006-2007 year is that any student who chooses Saugeen-Maitland Hall as their first choice of residence on their application sheet, will automatically be placed in a different residence.

thread_title:  Eliminating the Party Image 

message: This article's being edited by a number of users whose IP addresses are tracing to Rutgers University. What I wonder about is why Rutgers cares so much about what happened at Western.
Even 6 to 8 months after the fact, IP addresses are still tracing to Rutgers for this article. Andy Saunders 20:06, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why does Rutgers care so much? 

message: I am writing to question the accuracy of this quote
Originally, in 1969, the living quarters of the men and women were separate: the men were in the Saugeen portion of the building and the women were in the Maitland portion, with locked doors between the two sections. (A few years later the men and women were put in alternating "units" -- three floors comprised a "unit" -- in the respective two sections of the complex. Later still, men and women were allowed to reside on the same floor, which is the case today.)
I am disputing this because the Maitland residence has urinals in both the male and female washrooms, if it were intended as a all female residence, they would likely not have included urinals, opting for a fourth stall instead.
any thoughts?

message: My don last year mentioned a fire which burned most of the building, I don't kjnow when it was or how it started, or really anything about it, but I did see some pictures of a burned saugeen
can anyone confirm this or provide more details?

message: I've always regarded this as an urban legend.  Somebody (User:216.221.76.221) just added this 'fact', along with some details about the incident.  Do you have any sources?  Nobody I know was able to uncover any truth to this, and the fact that it's a list of "Easiest Residence To Get Hitched In Under 3 Hours" makes one believe that it's not a typical Letterman list.
