A music-only subscription to the Ruckus Network for RPI students, a project spearheaded by Grand Marshal Max Yates and the Student Senate, will not be implemented by September 15 as previously suggested. According to Chief Information Officer John Kolb, negotiations with Ruckus are ongoing.

Kolb declined to comment on the nature of the issues that remain under discussion. Neither Yates nor Kolb could estimate when the service might become available.

The Campus Action Network has offered to sponsor the music service for the first year to approximately 2,900 students living on campus. Those wishing to opt-in to the movie service would pay a $19.95 fee.

Street honors alum

Prior to the Alumni Hall of Fame induction, one of the honorees, Garnet Douglass Baltimore, had a portion of 8th Street named in his memory. A class of 1881 alumnus, Baltimore was a civil engineer and landscape designer—the first African-American to earn a bachelor’s degree from RPI.

During his career, Baltimore designed Prospect Park, Oakwood Cemetery, an extension to Oswego Canal, and contributed to the surveying of the Erie Canal and a survey of the Granville & Rutland Railroad.

The ceremony, presided over by Troy Mayor Harry Tutunjian, took place at 10 am on the corner of 8th and Federal Streets, and included President Shirley Ann Jackson, the City Council President, and other local officials.
