Blueprint Dedicated to a Friend: Now It's Miller The 1984 Blueprint is dedicated to so- meone who has spent over half his life in continual service to Georgia Tech. Miller Tempieton has managed to contribute in almost every conceivable way to the better- ment of this institution for the past twenty- six years. Milierts Tech career began in the 1958 when he enrolled as a freshman. He was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon, president of the YMCA, the forerunner of the Student Center, and editor of the itT-book, the stu- dent handbook. After an amazing forty-four straight quarters enrolled as a student, the list of honors and degrees includes a BS. in Physics in 1961, a Master's in Nuclear Science in 1963, and continued work toward a Ph.D. until 1969. He was a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, the Stu- dent Advisory Cabinet to the President, Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Pi Sigma Physics Honorary. He was listed in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities and was the recipient of the NASA Fellowship. Perhaps his highest honor was his election as President of ANAK. Even with his record, Miiier's contributions to Georgia Tech were only beginning in his years as a student. His association with the Housing Department has been longstan- ding. Beginning as a student counselor, he progressed to Resident Advisor and has held that position for twenty-one years. He is currently the Residence Hall Director of Smith. Miller's effectiveness in this position is known campus-wide. He makes every ef- fort to know most of the 310 residents by 's Time name by the end of the first quarter. Miller also brought his love of nature to the Tech campus. He helped found ORGT, and currently advises and directs many of the organizations activities. He has years of ex- perience in white-water rafting, cave ex- ploration, skiing and his life adventures have included a hike up the Appalachian Trail in eighty-seven days. Of the many services he has provided, his guidance is perhaps the most appreciated. As a resident hail director and an advisor to Tau Kappa Epsilon and Ramblin' Reck Club, Miller uses his experience and wisdom directly. His involvement with the Alcohol Task Force further demonstrates his con- cern. Millers, leadership abilities enabled him to make the unusual jump from student to dean. He is current Assistant Dean of Students for International Students, and has held this position since 1968. Miller has enriched the lives of many people at Georgia Tech, and is loved and respected by the entire Tech community. Perhaps the best tribute to this tremendous person is that he is referred to simply as t'MiIIer, because he has always been a friend to students. Because he has dedicated himself to us, it is out of appreciation and respect that we dedicate the 1984 Blueprint to William Miller Templeton.
