''So far, Prince William has remained silent. ''
 * First of all, that claim is not backed up by the source. The source (fatdarrell.com) has this to say, "Tradition also has it that he has not whistled once since he's been here at Rutgers...figures, ya hussies...". An claim about "tradition" is different then a statement of fact.
 * Secondly... "Fat Darrell" may be MAXIM Magazine's number one sandwich in the nation, but that doesn't make it a reliable source on college traditions. ---J.S (T/C) 19:23, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The book fatdarrell claims it, as does the website. When you find me something that has said a statue that has whistled miraculously, there will be pilgrims as it it were a grilled cheese virgin mary. I wonder if Willie would whistle if the mother of Jesus walked by. &mdash;ExplorerCDT 00:53, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I removed the statement that the statue has not whistled. It's readily apparent that an inanimate statue has not whistled. More importantly, the comment is a pretty transparent comment about those who pass by the statue, presumably Rutgers students, and thus unencyclopedic. The legend of the whistling statue is as notable as other legends and supported by citations so it's something that should be in the article. But the commentary about Rutgers students masked as the obvious and non-notable fact that the statue lacks supernatural powers doesn't belong here. --ElKevbo 18:54, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Milton Friedman Hall
I note that Friedman wrote a letter to the Rutgers Economics Department in 1982, a copy of which was on display in New Jersey Hall, and he was interested in the fact that the department was located in Winants Hall (rather than the current New Jersey Hall), as he had slept there in his student days. According to the Friedman letter, he had three roommates at a time (apparently the practice back then was to house students four to a room), although he couldn't recall where in the building he slept. Ergo, perhaps the conservatives might be thinking of renaming an inappropriate building by virtue of the economics department's CURRENT location...&mdash;Rickyrab | Talk 02:38, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
