My two bits:

(1) They do charge for cups ($0.05 for large styrofoam). I've two before me and
    I always forgot to bring them along.

(2) They do have water. Both by the woks in "chopsticks" and behind all the
    coffee urns in the muffin nook (but they charge $.10 for smaller glasses).

(3) They are not "supposed" to give out water -- all servers with whom I've
    spoken say it is manager's orders. The nearest fountain is a long walk.
    
(4) My solution (almost): take hot tea water, add crushed ice, season to taste.
    But the solution is lacking (bad pun): all those pop dispensers and no ice!
    :-(.

WHAT WE ALL NEED TO DO: rave about how *wonderful* the soft-drinks are and
how much *better* they would be with ice. Hope they don't figure out (4).
