At one point back in 1974, I had strep throat and a fever of 103+. Couldn’t sleep in my room on the fifth floor in (unairconditioned) Hess Hall due to the heat, so I went to Melrose and curled up on a pool table in hopes of getting some sleep in a halfway cool location.My AC is out.
It is too freaking hot here to not have AC.
May sleep in the pool.
I believe Hess was still without air conditioning when I was at UT in the mid 2000s. Could be wrong though...I just know that nobody wanted to live there at the time.At one point back in 1974, I had strep throat and a fever of 103+.

The RA’s kindly and regretfully - but firmly - threw me out. (This despite the fact that I was a regular in the pool hall, lol.)
I have had an undying love of AC from this time on.
No idea if either Melrose or The Zoo still exist. I turn 65 in three weeks, and the world has moved onward...
Hess had ac in the 80s but it was like hotel units under the windows. iirc
