Sounds like inspiration for a LeMons theme.

So, where's this school? I've been thinking of going back to school and this program sure looks great. Do they a pamphlet with bigger pictures?

Word. That's what I'm most shocked about, really.

Oh, OK. Danica poses for Sports Illustrated, and it's cool. Some kid does the same for her FSAE team, and it's illegal?

Stroker's right. There's a pack of morons behind that decision.

But, Danica is shaped like a man, so it's different.

Oh, I didn't mean illegal like civil law, I meant illegal to the sanctioning body's (or the university's) rulebook.

The main difference is that Danica in SI makes IndyCar more money. I really hate it, but IC NEEDS Danica. Sad state of affairs.

Wow. I went to a nearby "rival" university, and we would always poke fun at Waterloo for being a sausage factory. Especially their math and engineering programs. Everybody knew it.

That said, I'm willing to bet somebody "important" at Waterloo has an unbridled hate-on for the SAE team because it's 'somebody else's baby', and was looking for any excuse to get them into hot water. And hey! He found one! Seriously, academic politicking is toxic.

Unbelievable.

ALSO, as far as being "PC" is concerned - I think it's more insulting to the woman in question when something like this is considered some transgression. Did they think she had no choice in the matter? Seriously it was probably her idea in the first place! Some junkwad in the uni's PC dept. (whatever it's called) is sitting there going, "aww, gee lil' missy, we'll protec' yuh from them nasty men with cameras" and doesn't realize that attitude is a million times more insulting than a decade's supply of thong-of-the-month calenders. Sheesh.

If you want to see good looking women, do not go to any engineering school.

We used to say at RIT that girls there were like parking spots, Taken or Handicapped. I had to go to a near by university to find a wife.

The message this sends is there is nothing as scandalous and unacceptable as the female body.

All this photo did was make me want to go back to school for engineering. Dead serious.

I thought Canadians were about less violence and more sex? God forbid someone do something to encourage people to join a club!

Doesn't matter, GT will kick their butt in competition and Clemson will still continue to be the Michelin test bed for tires.

"Sophomore Dies In Kiln Explosion"

Actually might it have been an autoclave and Fawn was performing early experiments with carbon fiber...?

U of R? I'm an alum, maybe I know your wife? Or maybe one of the local SUNY campuses?

Something's fishy here. I seriously doubt that there is an actual Canadian girl in that photo. Note the complete absence of tattoos and cigarettes:

That was my guess - we called the women in my class year at UofR "heinous trolls" with good reason.
