ASMT Vice President Ross Boggs presents "Courage, Not Cuts" in response to MUS budget reform
By Stephanie Brewster If you thought obtaining a higher education, getting a degree, or learning a trade was already as expensive and challenging as possible, you may have a bone to pick with your local legislator.

The event, from 12 to 1 PM, rallied students together in protest of possible tuition cost increases. M-Days, student activities and events lined up for the rest of the semester

"M" Club's annual softball tournament rule changes fail to hinder attendance, ensure tournament longevity
By Macy Ricketts Every year, the weekend before spring break, hundreds of college students gather in Butte for the annual Mulletfest softball tournament. For those who are unfamiliar with the event, the tournament is touted as one of the biggest citywide parties in Montana. The tournament began in 2001, when a cohort of 14 teams competed. Last year, the three-day tournament hosted 70 teams and was the most successful fundraising years for the hosts of the event, the Montana Tech “M” club. However, due to the size of the event, law enforcement faced difficulties with crowd control (in 2014, three men were arrested for public urination at Stodden Park, where the tournament will be hosted again this year).

As he transitions out of the Biological Sciences Department of Montana Tech, the department searches for a professor to fill Good’s shoes. The department is finding that none can quite replace Dr. Bill Good. The Montana Tech Student Senate, ASMT, cast their votes for Tech’s new Judicial Board on October 27th, 2016.

Montana Tech’s annual Hot Dog Eating Contest was a success on Wednesday, October 5th in the SUB. At 1 PM, spectators and participants congregated in the Marcus Daily to take shelter from the blustery afternoon and enjoy day three of Homecoming Week festivities. While some students were enjoying complimentary BBQ provided by Montana Tech’s Dining Services, others were sweating over a tray of hot dogs- each hot dog boiled to perfection and branded with their names on it. |
