A lot of so-called conservative schools have percentages like:
25% conservative, 25% liberal, 50% pathetically apathethic.

Several hard-line conservative groups (read Truth in Academia)
like to hype things a little out of proportion and claim 
rather disproportionate numbers. That's not to say that there
aren't a lot of conservative campuses, that's just to say 
that the TRUE numbers don't lie.

R.I.T has an active Nuclear Awareness group which is pretty visible,
but this doesn't quite offset the large numbers of conservative/apathetic
techies. And the president of the college is an ex-marine.
