Loch is our school mascot! Legend has it that Loch was discovered during the creation of the man-made lakes. He was found frozen in ice at the bottom of the lake. He lives on campus and attends many school functions. Visit http://about.clayton.edu/legends.htm for the entire Loch story!
Generally, your professor has the last word on refreshments. Most professors have no problem with a bottle of water, but may object to soft drinks. Food is usually not popular with the professors either (all of that crinkling and rustling). In regards to sleeping in class, let's just say it is expensive nap time. Attendance policy is generally set up by individual professors.
