Lobby 7, October 1 1991. When the end of the term hits, students need a stress reliever. What better way to relieve stress than a gigantic swing? Using a wooden seat etched with directions and ropes which could support a swinging person, hackers hung the swing from the inside of the small dome. At rest, the seat hung a couple of feet off of the floor of Lobby 7. While most people passed by the swing, some students and faculty stopped to enjoy a ride before it was removed around 9:30AM that day.
