That's what it'll always be to me ... but I think the school has tried to steer away from that in recent years, haven't they?

Yes, I believe they call it the "Student Neighborhood", ha! The Ghetto and The Darkside all the way!

The closed captioning for that video must have been done by a robot.

A really stupid robot.

It wasn't even close to what the guys were saying

Recent years?! They were trying to re-brand it 30 years ago, not long after I graduated! And yes, I'm T-Bone 84 for a reason.

I know there are people who are working to change the nicknames of those areas (Ghetto, Dark Side, etc.), and I understand their reasoning behind it. But I don't agree with the reasoning, particularly with regard to The Ghetto. If you think of ghettoes in the long-term, broader sense, the name fits. Plus, that's what the students have called it for roughly 50 years, and it's used as a term of endearment, not disparagement. So, as far as I'm concerned, it is and will always be "The Ghetto".

Sorry. Rant over. Go Flyers!

The world has changed..the word is now a racial code...the ghetto is probably best said and not printed. It's sad.......

What is the new (commonly and socially acceptable) secret code for the now racial code word which once was an important code word and title for where we all raised hell.?

The school frowned upon the name nearly four decades ago when I went there. And yes, I'm Flyer 79 for a reason. Yes, the name is certainly a term of endearment by students. It just seemed to be a more concerted effort in "recent years" as the school has has purchased more properties -- including a few of my run-down houses -- to replace them with new housing and other facilities.

I am CE80 for a reason. I don't remember any attempt to rename the ghetto until after I graduated.

I graduated in 92 and I also do not remember any attempt to rename it until a few years after I graduated.
