RPInsider

Do you visit at any of these places?

• Bacchus Wood Fire
• Big Apple Pizza
• Flavour Café
• Holmes and Watson
• Illium Café
• Manory’s Restaurant
• Minissale’s Café
• Notty Pine Tavern
• Tosca

Well, according to RPI’s website, you can now use RAD (Rensselaer Advantage Dollars) to make purchases at those locations.  This has been a push of the Student Senate for several years, and we here at RPInsider are glad to see that it has finally been implemented.  For those of you living in the new Blitman Commons downtown, you can now have your parents pay for all kinds of stuff that are only blocks away!  Tosca is expensive — go there and see if your parents notice.  Just tell them you spent it on laundry… they probably haven’t heard that it’s free yet.
I especially like the fact that the Press Release fails to mention that this idea was conceived by students and that students have been working to implement it for years.  They make it seem like Dr. Jackson’s idea, which isn’t wholly true.

But hey, as long as it happened, we’re happy.
