[edit] Concrete Industry Management

Can you write about the Concrete Industry Management program at MTSU?? http://www.mtsu.edu/~concrete/index.html...plus the program has 100% job placement upon graduation.

I think it's high time we got some pictures on this page, whaddya think? Zpb52 22:17, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

  • Then go for it. Add a pic of the KOM and BAS and Floyd Stadium etc. I'm not good with the image copyright policy on Wiki or I would-Raider ATO 17:02, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorority Houses

I am fairly sure there was never any law in Tennessee, or any other state, to prohibit sorority houses on the grounds that they legally constitute a brothel. Snopes weighs in on this (http://www.snopes.com/college/halls/brothel.asp )...bottom line is that the original edit that the houses were prohibited, or the later edit that stated the law was repealed, is dubious. Sorority houses are actually fairly rare on American college campuses, and the reason for them not being built is something somewhat mundane (along the lines of "there was no demand for them").

...okay, but that doesn't say anything about brothels. Thunderbunny 04:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parking

I think it would be nice if a more detailed area on parking were added so new people to the school could navigate the confusion therein.

  • That's a little outside of the scope of Wikipedia. Perhaps you should check the MTSU web site? Thunderbunny 02:10, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Middle

I know its small beans but just so there isn't a revert war, Middle is used as a nickname. The 1510 guys say that all the time. Rmt2m 19:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes they do, but the University never refers to itself as simply "Middle", and if you read carefully, you'll see that the sentence is talking about the University Athletic Department's abbreviations. Reverting again. --Zpb52 20:49, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't see anything in the sentence about the department officially, just what the teams refer to themselves as. But whatever, I really didn't think it was that big of a deal. Rmt2m 23:10, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
The university's athletic teams simply refer to the school as "Middle Tennessee" or "MT", abandoning the words "State University". --Zpb52 18:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Hey thanks for bolding and italicizing it. Still don't see anything about the department officially, "just what the teams refer to themselves as". But like I said before, I really didn't think it was that big of a deal. As you will see since I haven't reverted it. Rmt2m 23:34, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greek Life

A sorority was founded at MTSU very recently that is not mentioned in the article. I've added it to the list.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mtlogo.gif

Image:Mtlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
