The Rookie Programming Experience
Submitted by Ben Meyers on February 12, 2010 - 9:31pmThis is my first year on the team, and I've had a lot of fun learning how to program.

After 20 minutes of trying to figure out what was wrong in the code, John Lawniczak helped me realize the exclamation point that was staring me in the face.

Take Two

The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golfers!"
Application Fee Waiver at RIT
Submitted by Kate Leipold on February 11, 2010 - 1:43pmDo we have any Seniors applying to RIT? I've talked to the alumni office, and they have approved me to be able to offer a couple of admission fee waivers to FIRST students every year. This will waive the $50 application fee.
The deadline for the waiver was Feb 1st, but I'm trying to get an extension. If anyone is applying to RIT, please let me know right away!
Thanks!
Kate
