Hello again and welcome to a new year of disbelief and wonderment (also known as Church dogma).

The Martyr of the week for January 14-20 is the venerated St. Ulfrid (Jan 18). Ulfrid was an English missionary to the Scandinavians in the 11th century. In one of his attempts to persuade the locals that they were being idolatrous, he took an axe to a statue of the god Thor. The Swedes did not take kindly to such an attack on their beloved thunder God, so they lynched him.

DOES GOD EXIST?

IF SO, WHERE IS HE?

Bring your comments and/or questions to an open campus discussion led by a guest speaker.§

We'd like to hear YOUR opinion! (or your can just listen)

where? Monday, Jan 15 where? Gleason Lounge what time? 7:00 pm

§Though not confirmed it, GDT has heard that God himself is the guest speaker. This is an opportunity NOT to be missed.

An Open Letter to AT & T
Dear Corporate Bastards,

Picture yourself climbing, pushing your physical limits, reaching, reaching, until you finally reach the peak of a shear rock face. You survey the incredible scenery around you and think..."I wonder how my friend Joe is doing?"

No...we don't think so.

In fact, we seriously doubt the majority of rock climbers are upset about the limited availability of pay phones in the Rocky Mountains. Sometimes the whole point of such endeavors is to work as a close team with another person (who is actually there), or to be alone. Is that comprehensible to you?

Do you know why people go to the beach? Ahhh, we're not sure, but we don't think it's to do office work. Is making pie charts or writing memos supposed to be more enjoyable from the beach? Wouldn't it just make the beach less enjoyable?

"Have you ever been in inescapable reach of your work or other people you don't want to talk to? You will." But who wants to?

Some mid-level manager or office paper pusher is not that excited about their job to be in contact with it 24 hours a day. Besides, what is the big need? "Bob, the copier isn't collating! We need you right away!" Who came up with the idea that people should sacrifice lives to jobs anyway? If there is any way to avoid your vision of the future without sicking the Unabomber on your connective ass, please let us know.

But don't expect to get in touch with us via beepers, faxes, wrist telephones or ATM machines. We're ignoring you as hard as we can.

Sincerely,

Ah Meester Bom-bas-teak

Rumor has it that a young woman was raped at a recent frat party and that the local police have been notified. This is refreshing, because so few rapes on the RIT campus ever make it to the local authorities; instead incidents usually disappear within the infrastructure of RIT (kind of like Tuttle in Brazille).

Do you have a topic you'd like to see GDT write about, have anything you'd like to submit, or want to join the staff? Then contact GDT through: diablo/gdt@ritvax.rit.edu
