Location:W20 elevators
Date: Registration Day, Fall 1998
Perpetrators: unknown
The normally quiet (or, at least, inarticulate) elevators in the Stratton Student Center (W20) began announcing the floors. Hackers had, apparently, tapped into the elevator floor signalling to provide a more informative (or amusing), audible cue to the current destination of the elevator.
Each of the two elevators apparently had its own personallity.
| Floor | East Elevator says... | West Elevator says... |
| Basement | Video arcade, post office, bowling alley. | There's a basement? Who knew? |
| First Floor | First floor: Ice cream, groceries, empty storefronts, and the real world. | Expensive groceries, expensive banking, expensive clothing, expensive food. |
| Second Floor | Greasy food, student art, and the airport lounge. | Black leather, twisted art, and pango-pango wood. |
| Third Floor | Addictions. Caffeine, sugar, Athena | 24-hour coffeehouse. Hours may vary. |
| Fourth Floor | APO, ESP, MTG, SFS, SWE, *LSC*... | Charity, religion, truth, fiction, Assassins. |
| Fifth Floor | It's not too late to turn back now. | If you lived here, you'd be home now. |
| Random (bonus) | This is not the hack you're looking for. |
Rumor has it that, a campus police officer stepped into the East elevator on the second floor shortly after the hack had become operational. Just then, the elevator decided to announce: ``This is not the hack you're looking for.''
Shown below are pictures of the hack electronics which physical plant found in the elevators.
