To prevent someone from doing it for them, University Marketing and Communications has decided to volun-tarily slash their budget by taking a leaf out of IT’s book: they’re going grayscale. Effective next semester, all of-ficial publications from the university are going to be in black and white.
“We were using so much color ink, and we know that half of our material ends up in the trash anyways. Why waste the money?” Crystal Verran, Director of Publica-tions said. UMC is also considering changing the univer-sity’s official colors from gold & silver to black & gray.
Publications and materials affected include recruitment-mailers, grad school advertisements, Michigan Tech Magazine, and the Michigan Tech website.
“We decided to go grayscale online, too.” Web man-ager Gail Sweeting said. “We have a brand image to maintain, which includes the website. We’re very con-scious about our image.” UMC does acknowledge that going grayscale online will save no money whatsoever, but could not be convinced to reconsider.
Students involved with publications for organizations are perplexed. “Black and white and gray are so BOR-ING, I don’t understand what in the world they’re do-ing,” one student designer said. “Everyone knows that the best way to recruit is by using as many colors as possible, or at least everyone that makes table tents knows that.” This small group of students is retaliating by spammig the campus with fluorescent table tents and posters, in an attempt to lighten the mood.
The money being saved will go towards purchasing a golden printer for the Print Shop.

HOUGHTON -- It was announced in an exclusive in-terview with the Daily Bull last night that computing on campus should go back to normal, hopefully, by the beginning of next week.
“We were making the switch over to the new server when a couple of our hard drives failed causing the loss of data,” an insider said. “We have since recov-ered the data, and have ordered new parts to replace the parts that failed. We also regret the sheer amount of money we spent on this server. Clearly, it was not worth it.”
Students and faculty in every department have been suffering from poor connectivity to the school’s server, with some departments completely unable to connect to their shared drives. This is mostly because the af-fected drives were stored on the part of the server that failed. For this, IT apologizes.
Many students have taken to letting IT know exactly how they feel about the outage by sending letters filled with death threats, including one that simply said, “U wot m8? Ill kill u I sware on me mum.” IT has requested that such letters cease or they will be forwarded to the Dean of Students, Bonnie Gorman.
“It’s a pity that the students are reacting in such a way. I mean, just because the middle word in the name of the university is ‘technological’ doesn’t me we are. Seri-ously. ‘What’s in a name’ and all that jazz, right?” a uni-versity official said in regards to the threats.
The Daily Bull is probably not suitable for those under age 18 and should not be taken seriously...like blizzards!

Those lucky enough to escape the turtle-speed connectivity have also been bombarded with hatred as Computer Science students muddle through labs in Rekhi, and presentations in all departments are pushed back several days. First year engineering students in Dillman have not left since attempting to log in on Monday, fearing the theft of the worthless Compositions paper on their drives.Beginning next week, IT will resume its normal duties, which include hiding computer labs and attempting to get all of the on campus bathrooms moved to the forestry building.
In light of the recent uhh...state of campus computing, everyone is frustrated with IT. But anyone who has worked in IT, or appreciates The IT Crowd (rest in peace), knows that there’s definitely a funny side to normal information technology happenings.
This week, we’re going to explore, laugh, and groan at those happenings. We’re also going to learn how to use the multireddit feature! Multireddits is this great new-ish feature that allows you to easily combine links from multiple subreddits into one page.
If you don’t already know how to: to create a multireddit, go to your front page. On the left side of the screen, there should be a white bar, and about halfway down the page there will be a series of vertical dots between two arrows. Click the dots! Under the “multireddits” heading, click “create”. Name your multireddit, then add some subreddits.
For this particular hilarity, add the following:/r/iiiiiiitttttttttttt
/r/talesfromtechsupport/r/techsupportanimals
/r/iiiiiiitttttttttttt is for rage comics, /r/talesfromtechsupport is full of stories from real-life tech support/IT workers, and /r/techsupportanimals is like AdviceAni-mals, but all related to computers and networking. Together, they make for a great laugh at the expense of some poor soul who doesn’t know the differ-ence between their monitor and their actual computer. Enjoy!
