I would love to time travel and walk around LSU's campus at that time. Those are really cool pictures.

In the second picture, just to the left of the yellow umbrella, is the entrance to the dorms (Yes, I said dorms!) that were there at the time. Go through that entrance, and the first dorm room to the left was my room, #101. What a dump! I got out into a real dorm after one semester. In the second picture, is the gate where we (Tiger Band) entered the stadium. Good times, then!

Those were still used as dorms in those days I think.

Very cool pictures. Thanks for posting.

I believe they were used as dorms until the mid-80s.
They were definitely dorms in the early 80's, I had several friends who lived there.

So we were kindred souls, huh? I lived there in the fall of 1972. Turned on the hot water in the bathroom once and a moth flew out!

Same here. My first choice was Kirby Smith, second choice was Graham Hall. Instead, I got West Stadium. Second semester, I transferred to Old Graham, and it was heaven compared to West Stadium.


My room was farthest from the showers, and walking back to my room from the showers, my feet would pick up so much dirt from the concrete floor, that when I returned to my room, I had to clean my feet off again!
