Landscapers Are Rewarded With Colorful Campus Appearance has become increasingly important on the Tech campus. Because one of the first impressions one gets of a university is the look of the campus, much effort has gone into this beautification aspect of upgrading Tech. In spite of her location in the heart of a major city, Georgia Tech has slowly taken on the look of a complete university. Of course, on the perimeter of the campus there is traffic, construction, and other maladies of the big city. However, renovations, landscaping, and just Techls natural beauty make her a comfortable entity, separate from the urban surroundings. The beauty of Georgia Tech comes in two forms: the old and the new. Perhaps the most astonishing thing about Tech is the fact that a large part of its traditional, old beauty has remained relatively un- changed. Although some of the campus has gone through drastic change iPeteris Park, for examplel, East Cam- pus, the Hill, and other sections have been preserved in their original state. Recently, the most noticeable form of beauty has been implanted or erected before our eyes. Modern buildings are ob- vious additions to the campus, and, while not overwhelmingly beautiful, they do add a clean, modern balance to the Tech en- vironment. The ongoing landscaping has been a considerable aid in giving the campus a complete look. Tech students have learned quickly the value of a row of flowers or a well-placed brick. As Tech goes through the changes of the coming years, it is comforting to know that, along with the adaptations to remain a contending university, a great deal of time and effort will go into preserving and improving the Tech campus. As Tech continues to grow within her urban bounds, she will need to mount a concen- trated effort in order to remain differen- tiated from her environment.

Academics Are Still on Top at Tech Perhaps the most enduring tradition at Georgia Tech is the dedication to academics. This year-round pursuit of ex- cellence was seen in research, studies, lab work, and career-oriented activities. This continuing tradition has given Tech and her students an outstanding interna- tional reputation. Research and laboratory work were essential in developing careers, obtaining funds, and maintaining overall excellence. This hands-on experience began early for students at Tech as freshmen and sophomores worked in chemistry, physics, and engineering laboratories. Co-op students gained valuable training at such facilities as the Engineering Ex- periment Station. Graduate research was perhaps most important at Tech because, in addition to furthering students in their careers, it enabled them to provide valuable service to govern- ment, business, and community. Tech's reputation in this area enabled students to get large grants from major corpora- tions for research. The most noticeable academic tradi- tion on campus was studying. Although students chose a variety of means, set- tings, and accomplices, they all seemed 18 I Leading Edge to get the dirty work done. This often in- cluded the infamous aIl-nighter, a perpetual cramming session that runs on for days. Even if they sometimes didn't make the grades lwhich they usually somehow didl, Tech students studied a lot and learned more. Tech students also continued a fervent tradition of pursuing careers. Standing in line for interviews has always been a pro- blem at Tech, and even though efforts to change the system were carried out, the process was still tedious. In addition to in- terviews, career-conscious students at- tended career fairs and departmental lec- tures held by members of the business world. Tech men and women obtained valuable information and brown-nosed their way into prospective jobs. The pursuit of education at Tech con- tinued to be an important tradition to both the Institute and her students. It is in this spirit of excellence that Georgia Tech graduates will be referred to by those from other schools as boss. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: A student heads for class in a hurry.
