''So far, Prince William has remained silent. <ref>[http://www.fatdarrell.com/unofficial_guide_to_rutgers_univ.htm Unofficial Guide to Rutgers University] at [http://www.fatdarrell.com fatdarrell.com] quoting Chondroff, Michael.

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)
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...— Rickyrab | Talk 02:38, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
