Furthermore, we have no qualms about embracing new, shiny web 2.0 applications as soon as they become available, nor about quickly filling up their recently developed databases with...

No one profits from having our own Provost serve as our special guest speaker at Commencement. In all fairness, there is nothing wrong with Dr. McKenzie as a person. (Granted, Ive only seen the man once, and that was when he spoke at that other big C: Convocation.) It is unfortunate that he will be leaving RIT with the most stigmatized RIT Commencement in recent history. Being stuck with our own provost for a Commencement speaker is about as...

Hoisting banners and launching campaigns, they are joined in one mission: To get rid of Santa Claus. It's a mission that needs an army. Santa, despite his pleasant plumpness and jovial grin, isn't the Christmas icon he used to be. Once known as Saint Nicholas, he was loved for his kindness to children and compassion towards the...

Strange because this is a RIT campus magazine. Not really supposed to think about that. Thursday, 3:05 a.m. You know like right before you go to sleep and the room starts spinning a little after you've been drinking and it just feels so good? That's my favorite part of drinking, the roller coaster. I'm doing it right now. I've...

Saturday, 1:55 a.m. RIT Rings, it's me and my girls. We just have to say that we saw ex-boyfriends, creepers and big scary men. It's my friend's 22nd birthday. We read you every week. There are no parties cause campus is gay. So where are the parties at, Rings? We're the hottest girls on campus. Bye! Saturday, 1:56 a.m. RIT Rings. Is that you? Can you pick me up? I'll buy you a Big Mac. We're at McDonald's parking lot... Fri, 12 Dec 2008 02:00:00 -0500 http://www.reportermag.com/article/482 http://www.reportermag.com/article/455 Tom Clancy sold out. There have been four major motion pictures based on his writings, he has sold his name to a major video game company for a series of military games, and he is now even the coowner of a Major League Baseball team. Clancy originally published his first book, The Hunt for Red October through a small publisher known as U.S. Naval Institute Press. The book gained popularity. Then, Clancy's decision to leave the niche market and have his book reprinted by a major...

I just wanted to let you know that I just finished reading you and, once I was done, threw you down, rolled you up, put you in a human body and lit you on fire. Love you! Thursday, 1:37 a.m We're here reading an old issue of Reporter and it talks about a wide vagina and heavy flow and our friend Timmy says that's right up his alley. So yeah, he thinks that's pretty great. Saturday, 2:41 a.m. I'm over at Perkins and there are...

I think they were pretty pleased with what they saw. "That boy is packin' and uncut. That's a rare gem these days." Oh no... I think Campus Safety is coming for me. Saturday, 3:45 p.m. Hey there RIT Rings. I was just informed by one of my friends that as a twelve year old he stuck a sock'em bopper. I just thought I should share this information. Friday, 1:32 a.m. Rings, I'm very... Fri, 07 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.reportermag.com/article/439 http://www.reportermag.com/article/411 People of democratic nations often hold the belief that if someone can vote, then they should do so. This argument is unsatisfying: Why should I vote? Having the ability to do an action is not enough reason to do it. Why is voting put on a pedestal? The way we vote only allows for the two party candidates to have a chance of gaining an office position, and this is apparently true for the presidency. Neither Barack Obama nor John McCain hold platforms that I can support. While both candidates... Fri, 31 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.reportermag.com/article/411 http://www.reportermag.com/article/401 I paid ten dollars just to vote. No, the cause wasn't some arcane poll tax, or anything quite so outrageous. I simply received my absentee ballot two weeks before Election Day and discovered I had no stamps. So, with my jacket flapping and my hands clutched firmly in my pockets, I made my way across a darkened campus to purchase an overpriced packet of twenty first class stamps at the Crossroads HUB. To me, it was worth the time and the effort, because I voted. For many people, especially...

It should not take me 50 minutes to sign up for my gosh darn classes, when I have an 8 a.m. class. I want to go to bed. Ugh... Monday, 1:48 p.m. I think RIT is actually having a genocide of fallen leaves. As soon as I see one hit the ground, truckin' FMS is there with a truck and four guys with leaf blowers. It's just ridiculous. Monday, 6:19 p.m. I just ate M&M's out of my girlfriend's porcupine. What did you do...

Now more than ever, the wall our founding fathers built between church and state is crumbling: A wall created to allow religious tolerance and freedom in the states. Religious views are interspersed throughout law books in the United States. An example would be sodomy laws, which were created to outlaw any sex acts that couldnt lead to reproduction. Citing Leviticus, If a man also lie with mankind,...

So if this guy reads RIT Rings and realizes that hes the guy were talking about, he needs to bone my RA right now. Thank you! Sunday, 4:41 P.M. Hey, calling a third time!

The current temperature is 107 °F, and its only 8:43 a.m. The air quality is rapidly deteriorating. God, its so hard to breathe outside. Incredibly, this hazardous environment is not just typical of the tropics anymore. A special report was running on the Weather Channel this morning about a new kind of atmospheric pollutant that is being produced thanks to the synergistic effect of global warming and contamination.
