Rina

A 'rina ('rino being the male equivalent) is a dancer at the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet http://www.cpyb.org/summerprograms.htm whose summer session is held on the same campus in Carlisle and typically coincides with the first 5 weeks of CTY. Selected for their ability through a process of comparable rigor to the admissions process at CTY, the 'rinas are also rumored to enjoy the perquisites of computer access in the HUB and superior housing facilities. A history of tension between the camps has in recent years caused the CTY administration to forbid interaction between CTY and CPYB students, a policy that has unfortunately generated further inter-camp misunderstandings, such as the rumor that circulated during second session '03 that the 'rinas thought we were an adolescent drug rehabilitation center, which likely originated on Drag Day or a similar eccentric ritual.

Rinos are suprisingly also defined as republicans in name only which i guess means they are.

one person has been both a carlisle CTYer and a rina and: nobody there is a republican, or at least nobody she knew, which was a lot of people. (although she was liberal and tended to have liberal friends) Rinas think CTYers are hyperly-smart-nerd-type people, or else some sort of delinquent (perhaps because of the Center for Troubled Youth acronym) Rinas are rumoured to get better dorms, unlimited internet/computers/tv's in their rooms, no real lights out time, no mandatory fun, only actual fun, and can go off campus whenever. However, this is probably an exaggeration. Many CTY traditions, especially drag day, are percieved as a bit wierd. Did you know that lots of the rhinos are supposedly gay?

There have been many instances after the interaction ban in which ctyers and rinas have clashed, including a recent one at Carlisle '05.1 were ballarinas claimed to have scored higher on the SATs the us. another exchange(useing napkins, sharpies, and the windows between the couches and cafateria i the hub) went as folows:

Rinas[to a group of couching CTY students exhibiting PDA]: EWW, we're trying to eat

CTYers: EWW, we are trying to make out

Rinas:NO PDA!

CTYers: i dont have a palm pilot

etc.
