Corporatization: the name of the game for two seniors

Wildcat: Did you know that they are thinking about changing the name of the Economics building to the Cesar E. Chavez building?

Robinson: No. Oh my gosh!

Wildcat: If you could change the building's name to anything you wanted, what would it be?

Sam McCurdy Computer Science senior

Robinson: I have no idea. It's always been the Econ. building to me.

Wildcat: You don't have any quirky ideas or anything?

Robinson: Maybe some old guy who gave a bunch of money. You know they changed the name of the Anthropology building to the Haury Building ÷ dumbest thing I've ever seen in my whole life.

Wildcat: Why is that?

Robinson: Because it was the Anthropology building; that's where all the anthropology things go on. What's Haury? Who is that?

Wildcat: I have no idea. I'm surprised that they haven't sold the naming rights to all the buildings, like the Los Betos Building.

Robinson: AT&T Wireless.

Wildcat: Subway Building. McDonald's building. You know?

Robinson: That's like the next step.

Wildcat: I'm sure that's in the works.

(McCurdy walks up)

Wildcat: (To McCurdy): If you could change the name of a building, what would you change it to?

McCurdy: I guess, like anyone else, I'd name it after myself. I think they should just keep the names the way they are. Like the Haury building: what is that?

Robinson: (laughs) We were just talking about that.
