You've left out several details that fail to recognize key individuals involved with the home match that took place on October 1, 2008. I have no issue with the writing regarding Tiger Den. The Tiger Den is great and using the Tiger Den to get people to home contests has proven to be an invaluable asset to all teams. To clarify further, "Dig Pink" was brought to RIT by the Women's Head... Fri, 31 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.reportermag.com/article/402 http://www.reportermag.com/article/367 Dear Reporter, Thank you for the great article in your September 26 edition recounting Ray Kurzweils recent talk at RIT. As a 5th year Bioinformatics student I found him truly inspiring and have referred to his talk so many times that my friends and instructors are getting tired of hearing me. However, while your article was accurate, it neglected to acknowledge the Caroline Werner Gannett Projects sponsorship of Mr. Kurzweils talk. I am currently taking a course based on their... Fri, 17 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.reportermag.com/article/367 http://www.reportermag.com/article/340 Dear Reporter, As a Dungeon Master (DM) for close to ten years now I feel that I am uniquely qualified to respond to the article The Secret Society of Pen and Paper Geekdom. My first response is of course to this word secret. Now I am sure that Reporter has excellent writers and journalists on staff, and yet none of you could discover the club here on the RIT campus that supports all of the players of Dungeons and Dragons at RIT. The Rochester Wargamers Association and... Fri, 10 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.reportermag.com/article/340 http://www.reportermag.com/article/295 Dear Reporter, I read with great interest your editorial in the September 12 Reporter. Constructive feedback from students is always welcome and will be put to good use. I would like to take this opportunity to briefly respond to the three topics identified in your editorial, specifically housing, parking and transportation, and communications. We are aware that housing is tight on campus during the Fall quarter. This is being caused by demand for on-campus housing by both a... Fri, 26 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.reportermag.com/article/295 http://www.reportermag.com/article/275 Dear Reporter, Thanks for highlighting this years common book, Deep Economy, in your opening issue. In addition to providing some excellent (and controversial) discussion points, you helped to highlight some of RITs greening activities of the past year. For those of us involved in these efforts, communication has been the greatest barrier to progress. So here are some additional items linked to Deep Economy that are available to the RIT community. 1. Bill McKibbens visit... Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.reportermag.com/article/275 http://www.reportermag.com/article/185 Dear Reporter: I am writing this letter concerning the cartoon entitled, "How RIT Can Use Antisemitic Graffiti To Its Advantage" in the April 25 edition of Reporter. While we at RIT encourage artistic expression and freedom of speech, this cartoon crossed a line that is at the very least hurtful, and to many, hateful. Throughout history, symbols have held strong meanings and evoked powerful emotions. Our challenge is to respect the history of such symbols, and those who hold... Fri, 09 May 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.reportermag.com/article/185 http://www.reportermag.com/article/159 Dear Reporter, Last week's article on the selection of Provost Stan McKenzie as the RIT 2008 Commencement speaker greatly surprised and, frankly, disappointed me. I have come to expect better from students of RIT's caliber, as well as from our distinguished student magazine. The quality of RIT is ultimately measured not by the notoriety of individuals who come to the campus to speak, but rather by the quality of the people who work and learn here and by what they accomplish. For... Fri, 02 May 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.reportermag.com/article/159 http://www.reportermag.com/article/95 Dear Reporter, The Editor's Note in the March 21, 2008 edition of the Reporter displays a common fallacy regarding study abroad, namely that study abroad is expensive. As the editor, you should have took more time to check your facts and actually do some research before printing it. While some study abroad trips can indeed be expensive, there are a number that can actually end up being cheaper than staying at RIT a quarter. I studied abroad in Germany, and my costs ended up being... Fri, 11 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.reportermag.com/article/95 http://www.reportermag.com/article/73 Dear Reporter, I recently attended the parking forum that was hosted by the parking and transportation services office (PATS). Given the current opinion of this office on campus, I was excited to see them reaching out to the community at large and solicit direct and continuous feedback. The point of this letter is not my or anyone else's hatredlove of the parking on campus. I am more concerned with surprising attitude that continues to be displayed by a group of people who don't seem... Fri, 04 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.reportermag.com/article/73 http://www.reportermag.com/article/19 Dear Reporter, I would like to take this opportunity to inform the students of RIT about the efforts of Dining Services-and in particular, the pilot program in the Ritz Sports Zone-to commit to sustainable business practices. Starting March 10, new biodegradable products are available at the Ritz Sports Zone, which consist of Polylactic Acid (PLA), Renewable Forest Fiber, and other natural fibers. PLA is a kind of "plastic" produced by a resin that is derived from renewable... Fri, 14 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.reportermag.com/article/19
