Students at this university waltzed to a different tune — free alcohol. The Tennessee waltz was again the students ' favorite tradition to carry on. Upon turning 2 1 , they could finally head into the bars on Tennessee Street and (legally) get tanked. As an added bonus, with the proper proof, each bar gave out one complimentary beverage — ranging from mugs of beer to shots of buttery nipples. The policy of a free pitcher was discontinued in 1994 when the bars began to lose too much money. The night I went waltzing was the best night of the year. I had been wanting to go into Bullwinkle ' s since I got here because I heard it was a feeding ground for honeys. I had so much fun I can ' t even remember it all, said junior Ryan Rasmussen. Several of the greek organizations added their own unique twist to the waltz. Gamma Phi Beta had the birthday girl sign her name and write down what she had to drink every time they finished a bar. I saw my friend Becky James ' (a Gamma Phi) signature sheet the next day and just died laughing. She was so canned after the first place that we couldn ' t even read her name after that, said junior Tiffany Jackson, a Delta Delta Delta. Bar-hopping wasn ' t the only event that transpired over the course of a waltz. The icing on the cake came when the honoree ' s friends tossed them in the Wescott Fountain as a final initiation into adulthood. When our roommate Brian turned 2 1, we got him good. Our buddy Eddie was driving him from Poor Paul ' s to Potbelly ' s and we were waiting for them behind the bushes out in front of Wescott. When they pulled up to the stop sign, we yanked him out of the jeep, carried him over to the fountain and threw him in, said junior Greg Sheaffer. Ah, the Tennessee Waltz — a night long not remembered. photo by Stacy Leigh Woonton ERIC JOHNSON Waltz 11

photo bv Keith Meter HOMECOMING 11995 Homecoming at the University was more than a pep rally — it was a week long festival, a mardi gras of college life. The official theme was State Pride 95 , but the atmosphere was more along the lines of Maul the Yellow Jackets meets I ' m Wasted . The week began on Sunday with the Gospel Explosion, sponsored and run by the University Gospel Choir. The night featured the talents of the :ionally acclaimed Donald Lawrence and the Tri - City Singers, the first ever professional Gospel singers to perform at the University. The explosion added much :ded diversity to Homecoming week, incorporating a larger percentage of the students in activities. The performance captivated a full Moore Auditorium and the tone that Homecoming would be a special week. The Gospel Explosion was such a wonderful experience. I loved every minute of it, said senior Yvonda Lattimore. Monday saw the union courtyard plastered with the entries in the banner competition. Each Greek pairing displayed their banner representing their :e on the week ' s theme. Everything from the Daytona 500 to endangered species were portrayed and the Theta Chi Delta Zeta pairing took first place. I was glad to see all the hard work put into the banner pay off. I was ecstatic when I saw how good the finished product really was, said junior Ryan hnston, a Theta Chi member. Skit night fell on Tuesday at the Civic Center. The night saw everything from Married with Children ' s Bundy family to space ships, as each grouping )k its shots at Georgia Tech. When the night was through, the two qualifiers for Pow Wow were Sigma Pi Gamma Phi Beta Phi Sigma Kappa and Sigma Nu ippa Alpha Theta. The former of the two reenacted the battle of St. Augustine while the latter saw a dreamer rescue endangered species from evil football foes. 1 Friday at Pow- Wow, the Phi Sigma Kappa Gamma Phi Beta performance was declared champion. I was nervous before performing in front of the whole student body, but once we started I had a great time. We were excited to see it win, said junior ivin McCord, Phi Sigma Kappa brother. The week rolled over the hump with the SGA carnival on Wednesday. Rides such as the Gravitron and the Ferris wheel highlighted the evening and Homecoming 13
