Student life practically revolves around traditions. nd without them memories would be bscured or even lost. Of course, the biggest time for reliving raditions is during the fall, and the big- est single event is Homecoming. Even ithout the pageantry and festivities, just he mention of the word Homecoming nd the feeling in the air at this time of ear bring back memories and encourage ctivity. To an outsider, the antics of Tech tudents, faculty, and alumni would pro- .3ny seem fruitless at best - putting in twenty-four hour days for a solid week just to prepare for one weekend. But to a Ramblin' Wreck, the hard work and en- thusiasm come naturally and are merely an extension of a year-round love of Georgia Tech. Although the traditions of Homecoming have gone practically unaltered through the years, the theme that is incorporated into the festivities each year provides new opportunities for ideas and activities. The 1983 theme, HTech Tropics, was no ex- ception with Tech students outdoing themselves and their forerunners in originality and versatility. Whether they were competing, showing off, or partying, Tech students used this year's theme to the fullest. Another vital tradition is the intense rivalry of the Tech-Georgia game, The biggest preparations for HThe Game are internal as the players and fans get ex- cited and keyed up for the big event. This year the game was at Grant Field, so Tech students were able to continue their mediations, vibrations, and Iibations non-stop throughout the weekend. The more subtle and timeless traditions at Tech are equally important. One relatively unnoticed tradition at Tech is the students' use of free-time. The Stu- dent Center steps are becoming a tradi- tional gathering place, especially on Fridays when students use the arrival of Techniques as a basis for conversation. In a changing society, it is important to keep in touch with our roots. Traditions at Tech enable us to do just that and are an integral part of campus life.
