Disclaimer: Al Roker will not be at the Winter Carnival.
We can only hope and pray that Dr. Jackson will be out dancing again this weekend.
Friday, February 5
SO MUCH HOCKEY! The Engineers take on St. Lawrence at 7pm at the HFH. Coming straight off of a 4-0 Yale whopping, this weekend should be good.
Basketball at ECAV when we go up against Clarkson. Women at 6pm, men at 8pm.
Pirates take over the DCC? Well no. But UPAC Cinema is showing Pirate Radio. 7pm, 9:30, and midnight. A recession friendly $2.50.
Dance! Dance! Dance! The BSA is hosting the 3rd annual Hip-Hop Dance Competition in the West Hall Auditorium at 7:30pm. It’s free! [facebook]

In light of recent events, we here at RPInsider have reason to believe that Alby (or some relative of his) is currently living near the Alumni House. This hard hitting news story submitted to us by Dan Falkenstrom has reignited interest on campus about Alby’s whereabouts. It is to this calling that we have created the Alby Tracker thread on the ACB. If you see Alby somewhere on or near campus, let us know! You can also submit a picture of him when you post (as long as you host the picture yourself.)

You’ve heard about it by now, no doubt. The Uprise at Five (PM) happened yesterday outside of Russell Sage Dining Hall. Students came out in force to show their dissatisfaction with the lack of input from students on administrative decisions.

I don’t think it would be unreasonable to say that most RPI students lack a general sense of school spirit. This has been something that various administrators have said publicly they want to change. Why could this be? It’s not because we’re all too busy with our academics, or completely distracted by video games. Looking at other universities who are very spirited, there are usually great sports teams (we have that too!) as well as great friends to go to games with (we have that too!) But there is obviously more than just an athletic aspect to school spirit. Looking elsewhere in life, spirit occurs when lots of people love a certain place. Well, looking at RPI, I would gander to say that this is why we don’t have as much spirit and unity as we can. Between layoffs (affecting the staff), and faculty governance issues (affecting the faculty), and new required sophomore housing (affecting students) the only stakeholder seemingly protected at the institute is the administration. They are the ones who are instituting all of these changes in the first place. No wonder there isn’t spirit and unity! Everyone is disgruntled! Enthusiasm and good feelings for a place are contagious. It might help if the staff and faculty loved the place where they work. Well, I guess there is something that unites us all… Watch out administration, you might have some spirited unity coming your way, just not the kind you were thinking of.
