New Web Space!

Finally, my final is done! This means that I will have time to breathe and to work on the website.

Now, I have just successfully installed WordPress to the Union sever with the help of Josh Greenman. And all the links work now. But I am migrating the this website to the new one (sw.union.rpi.edu).

Happy Holiday,

Natt Phenjati

RPI Fall Fashion 2009

When you think fashion, you may not necessarily think RPI. However, our eclectic campus is prone to some seriously unique looks. S&W went in search of some of the most interesting ensembles on campus. Click here to see what we have found.

Response to “The Great Happiness Survey”

by Mel Diaz

I thank you guys for writing this article, as it is a topic that I have heard discussed a number of times with differing opinions over the years that I have been here. It’s always intriguing to hear differing opinions like this because of the varied demographics of people who come here to study. At the same time, not everyone has the same definition of what it means to be happy, so that should be considered as well.

Response to “ The Great Happiness Survey”

by Thomas Reithinger

I really liked the article in this week’s S&W about happiness at RPI. However, I think it overlooks a major source of happiness within the student body: A monorail. If RPI had a monorail connecting the major points on campus, happiness would go up by an order of magnitude!

Response to “Response to ‘How to Lose a Guy in 45 Days’”

By Laura Cherni

I was amazed at the blatant and overwhelming amount of conceitedness displayed in the most recent letter to the editor of S&W. It remind me of the “geek” version of last article’s humor piece, although based upon the arguments within the letter and how it was presented, I’m quite sure it wasn’t trying to be satirical and was merely displaying an extreme case of RIBS (although I’m not sure if it’s even RI?). The crushing arrogance that was shown in shutting down the gentlemen of this school, many of whom have to work up the courage to talk to girls, much less hit on them, is appalling. Allow me to post a few counter-arguments, point for point, to this most illuminating letter, and address them directly towards the author.

In Defense of Depravity

by Patrick “Smee” Buford

The Ratio sucks.

Yes, this has been said many times in many ways for many reasons, and there’s nothing that will solve that problem short of protesting the Ratio in the middle of Accepted Students Day. Or short of that, walking six blocks to Russell Sage College.
