Words of Wisdom: Gustie Lingo Edition Posted on January 11th, 2012 by

3 Flags- The three flags on Eckman Mall by the C. Charles Jackson Campus Center (The American Flag, Minnesota Flag and the Gustavus Flag), a common meeting place for group get-togethers and outings. There are also three flags in front of Lund Center, but they are generally the wrong three three flags!

Book Mark- On-campus bookstore in the lower level of the campus center, has all the Gustie gear you will ever want or need.

Chapel – Refers not only to the building, but often in everyday lingo it means the 10 a.m. service that occurs Monday-Friday. No classes are held from 10–10:20 a.m. Either students  go to Chapel… or to go grab breakfast.

Complex- North, Sorenson and Gibbs (formerly known as Link)  residence halls.

Nobel- Could refer to either the Nobel Hall of Science or the Nobel Conference®.

    the caf! so simple yet some people really didn’t understand that it was short for “cafeteria”….

    also, co-ed, because it’s weird hearing people say “norelius!” 🙂
