Independently Identifying and Maintaining a Unique Identity Is Necessary in Becoming a Ramblin ' Reck From Georgia Tech . The individuality of Georgia Tech is recognized internationally, whether through her reputation as a top engi- neering school or through her unique fight song, The Ramblin ' Reck. But in this distinctly different environment which makes Georgia Tech what it is, it can be difficult for a person to maintain his identity. The tendency to be classi- fied as a Greek or an Independent, as a Nurd or a )ock, or as a Shaft or a Pussy- cat is often too easy to deny. Yet some- how, members of the Tech community manage to remain themselves — even within a solid framework of groups and organizations. The need to be yourself at Tech has always been quite strong — particularly for students — and has been satisfied in many ways. Wher« else would a mari- juana leaf find itself spray painted on a wall only to be exterminated by a can of Weed Killer which has been banned by EPA? Only a desire to be different, to be unique, could have led to such an unu- sual form of expression. To satisfy this need to be an individ- ual often requires an attitude of non- chalance, whether feigned or actual, toward other people ' s opinions. There- fore, self-assurance is a trait which is ordinarily acquired by Tech students before they graduate. With less anxiety about how other people might react toward him, the average Tech student can be a participant in even the most unusual situation without giving the slightest indication that anything is out of the ordinary. Developing and maintaining his own personality generally means that at some point in time, the student must evaluate himself. It is rare that a student graduates from Tech without at least one such self-examination. There is a need to get away, to be alone, to think . . . thus the opportunity to stretch out under a tree or float down the Chatta- choochee can be a welcome release from the pressures of classes and home- work. The student who succeeds in obtain- ing a Georgia Tech diploma must defi- nitely also have been successful at maintaining his individuality. He has thereby earned the right to claim the unique identity granted him by Tech ' s famous school song: he ' s a Ramblin ' Reck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an engineer!
