Underground tunnels at BSU

The other night one of my friends told me that there are underground tunnels here at BSU that connect Woodward, Tilly, and Boyden hall. This really fascinated me and i did not believe him at first but i looked it up and found that it is in fact true.I thought this was really cool information, and wondered why they closed them up and why they were there in the first place. From what my friend told me, the tunnels were put there because it used to be an all girls school and the girls had a hard time navigating to class in their dresses through the snow and bad weather. So the tunnels were put there to make it easier for them to walk to classes. The tunnels got shut down about 30-40 years ago because someone started a fire in there. After that they disallowed students to walk through them. As of now the doors to the tunnels are in the basements of all the buildings and are sealed shut. Its believed that the entrance to the tunnel in Tilly is in the back of the mail room.
There was also a rumor that a student made a bet with the president of the University a few years ago, that if he graduated with a 4.0 he could walk the tunnels. However the student got a 3.9 so the president won the bet.
