Athletic Programs Undergo Major Shakedowr The Georgia Tech athletic program has undergone more shakedowns in the recent years than probably any other major school inthe ountry. Pepper Flodg- ers was fired at the end of ine 1979 season and another of Tech's native sonsf Bill Curry, returned to take over the spot of head coach at his alma mater. A new athletic director, Homer Rice, was named and he immediately took the initiative and proposed an athletic fee stating Tech was the only school in the ACC which didn't have such a fee. Winter quarter brought the tiring of long time basketball coach Dwayne Morrison at the end of a disappointing sea- son. As the transition from independent status to ACC continued, we came to the grim realization that we were not fit to compete. When all was said and done, no major Georgia Tech athletic team could boast a winning season. Many positive steps have been taken to alleviate the dismal athletic situation. How- ever, success is often elusive and in spite ofthe AA's new direction, positive results will require student and alumni dedication, support and most of all patience. . if' ARE YOL f Nf'x t'Q l l lliilill,

Intense Traditions Bind Tech Famil Ma Tech is tradition. Though not even a century old, this school is rich in a heritage that can only result from an intense relationship. Not always pleasant, this rela- tionship develops a deep feeling in much the same way a kiln fires soft clay into an object of permanence. Admit it. We all love Ma Tech. She is a tough discipli- narian, expecting more from us than we feel she deserves - and getting it. And because her standards of expectations and excellence never waver, we feel a continual respect for her. We are unabashed in our spirit for our school. And while each year thousands of alumni trek back for homecoming, we never visit Tech. It is always a part of us, whereever we are. And we can no more leave her than she can leave us.
