Rolling Stones and Digipen

Did anyone pick up the latest issue of Rolling Stones magazine, the one with the Beatles on the cover? Would you believe there's an article about the "new" Digipen that is in Redmond, Washington (right next to where I work) in those very pages?

There's some really interesting facts and stats in the new Digipen mention in the article that is fasinating to read about (like the 7-11 bit). But, man, the article really paints a really negatively GEEKY DORKY image for Digipen. Its a school where the "nerds run the caferia" and normal students "who are the wallflowers".

To tell you the truth, I was very upset at the article because it really made us Digipen student look bad, to a point where I feel kinda embrassed to come from this school. I mean, we weren't THAT geeky, were we? I mean, we were somewhat but not to the level that is protrayed in the article. But the article also points out how narrow mindedly focus the school is, not just in the ciriculum but in ADULT life in general. Students are allowed to remain with their socially challenged especially with people of the opposite sex (Digipen still has a very tiny female population).

When I read this article, I started thinking about that new movie coming up, Old School, where a bunch of guys start a faterity. I think we should start a Digipen one just to shake and wake up some of these boys in the school. They will need it.
