If they didn't spend so much time ticking off the student and alumni bodies, they might find it a little easier to come by.r

I don't recall that the banquet was at Crooked Lake, but it has been a while.

Not hockey related, however, interesting story on the front page of TU this morning. "RPI students to protest policy on student union".
Student protest today from 2-5 pm outside the EMPAC building.

Jake Wood spoke for a few seconds. I only listened for about a half hour, so there may have been other hockey players.
BTW, does anyone remember the protest in the spring of 1971 protesting that RPI needed a new library? That one came to fruition since a new library was built. At the time, I was a math grad student and TA and one of my assignments was as the grader for a Diff E course being given by the late Dick DiPrima (a very enjoyable experience BTW). Besides for being a math professor, he was a Dean with an office in the Pittsburgh Building, the administration building back then. I remember walking up the steps with Dr. DiPrima, around all of the students who were there occupying the building. He sided with the students as he did on most things.

Looking at my copy of the 1970 Transit, I see a number of references to a rally that was held in March of that year. On page 50, there is a photo of the front page of the March 11, 1970 edition of The Polytechnic, with an article headlined "Library tour ends successful rally," accompanied by a photo of a long line of students captioned "Students closed the rally with peaceful march to library." At my age, it's a little difficult to read the body of the article without a magnifying glass, but there appears to be a reference to as many as 2,000 students participating in the rally.
Might this be the protest you remember, Ralph, or was there another protest the next year, as well?
Other articles on the front page of that March 11 Poly were headlined "Teach-ins to emphasize discussion of Requisites" and ""Meaning of 'University' probed." Elsewhere in the same Transit there are interviews with members of the student body at the time, expressing their frustration over what they perceived as Dr. Richard Folsom's unwillingness to respond to their opinions about things that needed to change at RPI - one of which was the library.
For those who feel that Dr. Jackson's administration marks the beginning of the end for RPI, be assured that 46 years ago there were those who felt that Dr. Folsom's administration would mark the beginning of the end - and RPI is still there.

I could be mixing two things up. I did check my grade books for which year I graded for Dr. DiPrima, and it was the spring of 1971. It could have been a protest of something else. I do recall watching a march to the old library (I think it is the computer center now) from an office in the Amos Eaton Building.
Compared Dr. Jackson, Folsom Prison was a country club.

A statement from President Jackson, whicxh I first saw on the on The Polytechnic site...
http://www.news.rpi.edu/content/201...c-institute-president-shirley-ann-jackson-phd
Somehow this link cycles through an ad banner on the Time Warner site... you can scroll down to the first 'news entry' (Statement from President Shirley Ann Jackson...) or you can click on 'search' in the blue ad banner at the top of the page and the link will appear on the top line of the refreshed screen.

Basically what I see this saying is that they're going to try to use a language loophole to perform a hostile takeover of the Student Union.

Some have intimated that you were the inspiration for Dr. DiPrima’s smash hit, “Just a Gigolo”......hey, you started the puns.I could be mixing two things up.
