Just in case you didnt hear about it, MTU was named 7th most wired campus by PC Magazine. This was posted back in Dec 06 but I am not sure many heard and I thought a nice repost wouldnt hurt. I think its kind of cool that we were in PC Mag. Oh well…
Full Article after the jump.
I really think someone needs to make more comics like this about MTU. I really really miss this sort of stuff. The comic below is basically what its like every year due to freshman calling home/girlfriend/everyone else and no one is able to get a signal due to the limited cell towers.
If someone is willing to make a comic, they can sure post it on MTUISCOLD.COM
Oh yea! I finally have a quality video of the slush pit from Mount Ripley. Thanks MTU for posting the video.
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.
After I found out about this I felt that I really needed to post this as soon as possible since I always forget to go to this. Its pretty crazy since the 6 only hot girls at Tech are here in one place for an evening. What makes it better is that its at the Uphill. I’m not going to bash the Uphill, I’ll save that for later.

I know I may be a little late on getting this information but I still have to comment on how crazy some people can be about competition. Sure we may have stolen the record for most snow angels from North Dakota but that doesn’t mean they not only had to take it back but they also kicked us in the nuts. How? Simple, the number of registered participants, their actual record number, is like 1/3 over are population of Houghton. Basically we need to hall in people from Michigan State, since they were the first to offer their services, in order to have a shot at this. Damn them.
The Third Annual Northern Lights Film Festival will be held in the McArdle Theatre, Thursday-Saturday, March 1-3. The festival brings independent films and filmmakers to campus and provides a venue for films by students and community members. The film festival is free and open to the public.
Holy Crap was this a fun event to attend. On Feb 17th the MTU Mini Baja team hosted its annual Winter Baja Competion at Lake Linden MI. There were schools from all over the midwest with lots of loud engines tearing up the snow course and just having a great time. The best part was the big air competition at the end. Watching those cars jump up in the air was so sweet. I’m still waiting for the video to be re-edited for the web, yes James I’m talking about you, so anytime now… This was held in the Lake Linden park just like last year. Despite the towns short notice for setting up the course it appeared that it all worked out well in the end.
I’ve a few more photos taken from the facebook event after the jump.
I personally do not consider the Keweenaw to be that awesome, but since when does my opinion count? So appearently the few people that do think the Keweenaw is awesome, mainly WMTU, have decided to throw a festival. Yes, in winter. Anyway I’ve got the listings of the bands taken from the facebook page after the jump.
Not gonna lie, I kind of wish I went…
MTU IS COLD
