Song recalls earlier days of SDX
By Emory Williamson
Theme songs often become embedded in American culture. Think “Star Wars” and “The Andy Griffith Show.”
SPJ’s signature tune didn’t work out so well.
The song “In Sigma Delta Chi” – originally played at events organized by the Sigma Delta Chi organization – hadn’t been heard in decades before this weekend.
Samantha Allen, an Ithaca College student, performed the nearly century-old song on the first floor of the Westin Indianapolis. The Working Press provided her the sheet music.
The anthem is past its prime, said Steve Geimann, president of the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation. “It’s not music you want to have on your iPod,” he said.
The song is one of several traditions of SPJ, which changed its name in 1973 and 1988, that have disappeared since the Sigma Delta Chi fraternity was established in 1909.
“When we became a professional organization those kinds of things faded away,” Geimann said.
“It’s about what you do and how you do it, not singing a song about it.”
Although the song is “part of the legend and the lore” of SPJ, Geimann doubts it will make a comeback anytime soon.
Still, “if we could get somebody to update it for the 21st Century that would be nice,” he said.
“In Sigma Delta Chi”
Words by Franklin M. Reck
circa 1925
1. The farmer feeds and clothes the world,
the doctor makes it well;
The engineer must keep it safe and dry.
The journalist amuses it, abuses it, enthuses it-
And makes it giggle, cogitate – and cry.
CHORUS: In Sigma Delta Chi, our ink is never dry;
We’ll tell the world, that’s how we keep alive.
We throw it into high, and pass the plodders by -
Then tell them all the news when they arrive.
2. We play the song of life upon
a rattletrap machine;
And daily sell the music for a sou*.
Our business is to brighten you, to frighten and enlighten you;
To teach all what they should and shouldn’t do.
(REPEAT CHORUS)

Begun, the great internet eductaion has.
Hi,You rise a very good question. Coming from the scuerity industry myself, I know how you feel about these issues. There is a rule of thumb, and not very hard to follow, all scuerity checks, input validations and alike MUST be done server-side, dot. Any check you do on the client is susceptible to an attack. All inputs going to the server, even then ones generated by the client side js MUST be checked as they might be altered.And you don’t have to have Opera or a FF addon, it’s as simple as downloading the website, opening the js file with a text editor and resend the form/post/ajax call.Nice post! Keep the good work!

so. You have the right to worship aywany you wish. And I have to right to ask you to realize that the religion you worship may not be the right one. If you dont wish to change, tell me and I wont bring it up again unless you are dear to me and I really would like to see you in heaven after we die. The problem is that too many religions promise that you will get to heaven if you do things their way but have nothing to back that up. Mine at least lays down ways to do it. Ignoring the sins of others if they will ignore your sins isnt a way that ANY religion promises, to my knowledge.
