MTU alumni checking in (BSEE '92).

I have to say, da 'Tech is one of the most conservative public campuses in the country. In the 60's, protests actually broke out in favor of the Vietnam War. Rumor has it that MTU was the birthplace of Agent Orange...rumor backed up by the excellent Forestry & Chemistry departments, plus warm warm ties with Dow Chemical...

Wadsworth Hall even has a students' weapon locker! So believe me, the @$$#0L3$ that messed with my alma mater have messed with the wrong school!

(BTW, there is more than ice and snow to the Keewenaw Penninsula - like incredible pristine beauty....)

MTU alum, class of '72 back at ya. During the Viet Nam era, Tech had a very large ROTC program. There used to be a football field across US 41 from Coed Hall that would be packed when they had marching drills.

Has anyone considered that maybe a mining engineering student lost some of his homework on the way back from the Library?

Right on! I once walked from the MEEM parking lot to the Civil Eng building (Dillman) with a cased shotgun (was lending it to a fellow grad student).As you know, this was clear across campus. Nobody batted an eye!

BSCE (93), MSCE (95).
