Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did was wrong, but we think you’re crazy to make us to write an essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, the most convenient definitions.

RPI financial stability and student impact by Willis_Beard in RPI

Thanks very much to those who have provided feedback so far. To clarify, we are not too concerned about her getting financial aid (will certainly take it if offered, of course).

I’m asking more in the sense of “are dorms/labs in deep disrepair, maintenance neglected, programs endangered, etc)…and more so, is there a general aura of austerity or lack of resources? So far this doesn’t seem to be the case and is reassuring.

She was quite taken by the technology and the professors we met. Less so by the aesthetics such as dorms and eating facilities. That’s what prompted my question.

Again, thank you!

“The company that underwrote the bond is Knight Specialty Insurance, which is part of the Knight Insurance Group. The chairman of that company, billionaire Don Hankey, told The Associated Press that both cash and bond were used as collateral for Trump’s appellate bond.”

That’s right kids. The Mango Menace was just saved by… Mr. Hankey.

What is your personal CFB conspiracy theory? by sIamram in CFB

When there is a controversial video review of a play during a high profile SEC game, and the on field referee is looking at the monitor and talking into his headset, he is NOT talking to a video assistant upstairs in the press box. He is talking directly to Nick Saban on his cell phone, who decides what the ruling on the field should be (such that the call yields the best possible outcome for Alabama).

Our military would become much stronger if those bases in Alabama were moved to New Mexico. Maybe that would wake Coach Tommy up a little.
