Any truth to the rumor that the new stadium will be called "Mario the parking guy memorial stadium"?  It appears that 100% of the funding was made through parking tickets.

AJ's soph yr at RPI, the lacrosse team had the pleasure of staying on campus for double sessions springbreak week.  The whole team was told they could park unrestricted in the lot next to the armory.  Returning from practice all the cars in the lot which were all lacrosse players had tickets written by none other than mario himself.  One of the older captains gets pissed pulls his car right up in front, literally perpendicular to the front door on the sidewalk of public safety so he can go in and bitch at them over the incident only to come out to find mario writing him another ticket for being illegally parked...the kid flipped. AJ was pretty amused by the incident

Dearest Regulator,

Gro has a special treat for you this weekend. Instead of an irish car bomb, gro will serve you a DUTCH car bomb to celebrate the dutch heritage of RPI and Union.

A half pint of guiness, drop in a shot of jamison w/ a fresh terd floated on top.  CHUG CHUG CHUG!!!

[labart96]

actual courses taken by 'gro to satisfy his humanities requirement (woulda had a minor but didn't take an extra 4000 level class... psssssh).  Gro can not find any evidence of the class he took senior year called Robots, AI, and Society.... We watched a bootleg copy of the movie AI and at the end of the semester the prof asked us to write on a piece of paper what grade we think we deserve and why. Gro wrote, "I deserve and A, I'm a senior and I need the credits to graduate"... boo bam, A.

STSS-2200 Engineering and Society  
What is engineering? How should engineering fit into society? What is engineering design? What role should engineering designers play in society? How do the social and technical aspects of design relate to each other? This course will explore answers to these questions through a variety of perspectives and case studies. Annually. 4 credit hours

STSS-2400 Law, Values, Public Policy: Perspectives on Science and Technology  
This course examines the interconnections between values and law, seeking to understand how these affect and are affected by science and technology by examining such topics as computers and privacy, medical malpractice, abortion, and other legal conflicts surrounding new reproductive technologies, problems of expert witnesses, sexual harassment, patent infringement, auto safety litigation, and siting of hazardous facilities, among others.

Geez Gro - those almost look like HWS kind of classes!

Actual electives RT took from 90-94 at RPI:

- Art of The Film
- Dinosaurs
- Cosmology (RT actually thought that was a beauty course when he first saw it in the course guide as a freshman and was wondering WTF kind of place this was)
- Human Sexuality

['gro]

TGP, it's all good. Humanities is like 24 out of 128 credits (and if you need some sleep you can read up on gro's required classes like themodynamics and differential equations woo!!)... the funny thing is every humanities class has technology mixed in it somehow. Even the dinosaurs class that RT took, all the dinosaurs had frickin lasers attached to their fricken heads.

....FLASH....RPI QB defies mathematics in yet another display of superiority over his rival, Marotti
...in a related move, Coach Audino announces he will have 3 DB's on '86 field, beginning Friday night, to prevent such anamolies from occuring this Sat. When asked why he would make such a controversial move, Audino replies "hey...what else can I do, the kid completes more passes then he throws. ....and I SWEAR was on the field when Rudy was carried off...but, um...I lost the pictures"

...taken from today's RPI press release
A management major with a 3.75 GPA, Robertson has started all eight games at
quarterback for the Engineers, going 133-of-126 for 1,658 yards with 14
touchdowns and only five interceptions.  A sophomore, he was the Liberty
League Rookie of the Year in 2005 after helping the team to an 8-2 record
and ECAC Northwest Bowl Championship.  The former Iona Prep standout is also
a tutor through RPI's Advising and Learning Center.

Reg.....did 'Gro just post "woo" in his message.....NNR has been hammered for similar behavior.....you may need to bash half full Miller Lites of his cranium for that one.

Classic.  Will have to K+ manana since TGP already hit ya once today.

U89 - "woo" is perfectly acceptible to post following anything thermaldynamic.

woo!

The funny thing about Bart is back in the day you were required to take a "bi-dis" (crazy alice say "who dis??!?!") aka bi-disciplinary class as a graduation requirement. 

They are taught by 2 profs from diff depts, usually seminar style.  Read a book, write a paper a week, etc. 

So guess what was the best winter term soph year option time wise to faciliate TGP's schedule? 

Only the most MAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN-Tastic class of all-time:

245 Men and Masculinity

This course offers a reinterpretation of men’s lives from the perspectives of history and sociology, informed by pro-feminist men’s studies. Students assert that masculinity is problematic—for men and for women—but also, subject to change, since it is socially constructed and historically variable. Students focus on men’s lives in American society from the late 19th century to the present, and explore the varieties of masculinities in the diversity of race, class, ethnicity and sexuality. This course allows men and women to come to a deeper understanding of men as men, and to re-think the male experience.

The course syllabus includes small-group discussions, guest lecturers, and films. Course
requirements typically include three bidisciplinary essays: a biography exploring the problematics of masculinity; an analytic of men in groups; and speculation on solutions and social change.

Now that's LIBERAL arts

I just read Keith McMillan's "Around the Nation", several times in fact because I thought I might have overlooked something, but alas here is Mr. McMillan's list of the big rivalry games on Saturday

Bowdoin (1-6) at Colby (2-5): Someone has to reign in Maine, and it won't be Bates (0-7) this year.
Coe (6-3) at Cornell (2-7): Eight points from being conference champs, the Kohawks meet the Rams, who have lost seven straight, in meeting No. 116, which is at the end of the season for first time since the Midwest Conference days.
Cortland State (8-1) at Ithaca (7-2): Going since 1959, it isn't the oldest, but it might be the most fierce. And it's got a team, maybe two, with a playoff shot.
DePauw (6-3) at Wabash (7-2): There's nothing these Indiana rivals like about each other, but they both want the Monon Bell in their 113th meeting.
Hanover (4-5) at Franklin (8-1): With eight victories so far, the Grizzlies now want the Victory Bell and a playoff shot.
Muhlenberg (4-5) at Moravian (4-5): These teams become Centennial Conference rivals next year, but they've been at each other's throats for a long time already.
Randolph-Macon (2-7) at Hampden-Sydney (3-6): Teams have come into most recent matchups with divergent fortunes. They're both bad heading into Game 112.
Trinity (Conn.) (6-1) at Wesleyan (3-4): No "best team not to make playoffs" title on line for Bantams, no win streak. Just a chance to win the 106th meeting with its Connecticut rival.
Williams (7-0) at Amherst (5-2): Our granddaddy of them all, with no playoffs ahead, the Ephs take an undefeated record to Amherst for the umpteenth time in the 121 meetings.
Wilkes (9-0) at King's (6-3): Crosstown scuffle should feature a lot of defense.

I guess the 104th game in the battle for the Shoes just doesn't cut it.  Consider how far RPI vs Union has fallen.  Last year the guru comes to town to see the game and this year it's chopped liver.

Differences between RPI, Union and Hobart

Outdated Campus Activity that people still do...
Union: Naked Nott Run (no offense... but how many kids still do that?)

More than u think.
