So it was really really warm the past couple of days and now its pretty cold again. What happened to the heat? Its been about the upper 30’s and it was about 70 not more than a week ago. I was all excited to not have to wear a coat, heck I even almost wore shorts! Hopefully the weather will return…
So I saw someone walking around the other day with this shirt on, might have been a hoodie, and I want to know where and how much!!!
This year the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternities has decided not to make Senior Walk t-shirts. The word on the street is that every year Sig Eps order less and less shirts since sales are always bad the previous year, so this year they have decided to do away with the whole hassle. The really disappoiting thing is that the money they raise goes to American Lung Cancer Association and they will not be receiving these funds this year. I feel sadden by this as I am finally a senior and want to go on senior walk… maybe I will go shirtless…
Apparently this week, Mar 25-30, is Keweenaw Pride Week here at MTU. And of course they have tomark up the sidewalks with chalk just like every other student organization to announce this festive occasion. They even have a schedule of events all lined up, listed below. I often wonder how many people actually attend these types of events. I mean the school gives them money, your money, to put this on so you think people might be slightly interested to see how it is spent. I am at least. I wonder if the largest group of people shows up for the “Seventh Annual Drag Show and Amateur Competition.” You really have to give it to them for setting up such a large schedule of events, impressive. Oh, I actually have the list of events after the jump.
For those of you that are unlucky and had to stay in the U.P. I was told that seeing this sign on the side of a building was probably the most excitement they are having… Sad.
I just want everyone to have a safe trip where ever they go. I would have to say that Carl, err ummm, Carl’s back sums it all up…
Again the USG (Undergraduate Student Government) is trying once again to get the ASMTU (associated students of michigan tech university) system passed. While I may not have all the details I am pretty sure it didn’t pass last year for a good reason. So why are they at it again? I have no fucking clue. In short USG wants to follow the same model as the U.S. Government. What does that mean for all the student organizations… They are all fucked. Not only will groups have to go through 6 hoops to get funding but they will have to go through 6 hoops per board. So if a group wants money they will need to go to the board which they are classified under, like take the Lode for example. If the MTU Lode wants reimbursement for something they will then need to talk to the Media Board which will need to the House of Reps. The House will need to meet with the Senate and discuss this over during the Joint Ways & Means Committee Meeting, and who knows how often that group will meet. The House and Senate don’t like each other anyway. (Colbert would have a field day with this little fiasco.) Once these two groups can come to a happy agreement it will then have to go to the Treasurer for final approval, which could take a year.
If you are smart you wont vote for ASMTU. I think the best part of it all is when this will end, April 1st. Hopefully its not one of those dumb april fool’s jokes… Wait I get it. ASMTU is the joke!
Merit, the school’s private internet to other public Michigan schools, has decided the finally drop its Dial-up service. While this may come as a shock to some it makes sense. With so many people moving to “broadband” internet access it makes it increasingly difficult to maintain old technology, dial-up. The service will cease on July 2, 2007.
After hearing about this website Phonebooking.com and what its all about we decided that MTU should take part and took it out on Keegan. He had an idea but the results were still funny as hell. For those of you that want a definition of phonebooking please check urban dictionary.
An oldie but still worthy of the post. The MTU 4 Wheelers doing what they do best in the Fall Color Tour 2006. I havent seen a new one yet but hopefully it will be appearing online soon.
MTU IS COLD
