D.Alh Students Search for Excitement to Escape Books Upholding a tradition of academic ex- cellence is a tiring, tedious, and thankless job that Tech students just have to live with. Similarly, getting as much as possi- ble out of what little spare time they have takes a lot out of them and goes unnotic- ed. But somebody has to do it. Faced with these numerous hours of spare time, sometimes as many as ten a week, Tech students found a variety of ways to fill them all. At night, Tech and 33 . -A tad 31H I lift I 12:!

On-campus attractions includ- ed fraternity and sorority parties, private get-togethers, and the somewhat in- famous movies at the EE. Those with a need to get away from it all flocked to che strip or P.J.'s, and those adven- turous souls fortunate enough to have ac- cess to a car journeyed to Buckhead and beyond to dance at Confetti, Limelight, and the newly opened Thrills. Daytime excitement tho, not soap operast usually came in the form of sports and fitness. Programs such as in- tramurais and PEACH provided students and faculty opportunities to show off what they have and get rid of what they dont want. And, if participating was n enough, Tech varsity and club spor allowed students to work up a sweat i verbally working over the opposing tea and the referees they seemed to brii with them. In the limited spare time they had, Tet students seemed to be in stiff competitic with their partying rivals of the Universi of Georgia in Athens. What they lack quantity, Tech students make up for quality, and, anyway, who cares if yc finish a close second in partying to yo future employees. i TOP: Peachtree is the corridor to most Atiah entertainment.

Fhe Good Word Lives as Tech and Georgia Battle The traditional rivalry between Tech d Georgia seemed to somehow grow in tensity this year. The anti-UGA senti- ent was everywhere - the football and sketball games, the newspaper, and en items in the bookstore. The cold-war rivalry between the two hools turned to all out war in ttthe me. Because the game was at Grant eld, Tech fans were especially hopeful at this would be the year for an upset. ome key ACC victories and a certain eling in the air added to the Tech fans' . pectations. Georgia Tech was defeated the final minutes of the game, but won moral victory by contending with this ip-notch Georgia team. The intense competition between the schools did not disappear over Thanksgiving break, however. The basketball match-up promised to be another close game because of a careful- ly recruited Tech team. Although it was a Georgia home game, it was held in the Omni, adding a pseudo home field advan- tage for the Jackets. The rowdy Tech fans who were willing to pay seven dollars to see the game got their moneyls worth as UGA barely edged Tech in the last seconds of the game. The event helped Tech students to release frustrations before finals week and showed them a promising Tech squad. Anti-Georgia feelings went beyond the field as students reached for new levels of attack. A symbol of Tech's sentiments was created: an international road sign that meant ttNo Bulldogs. The slogan was seen all over campus on bumper stickers, notebooks, and banners. The Technique continued this spirit by pub- lishing a To Hell With Georgia issue. As they do in anything they pursue, Tech students were diligent and dedicated to the cause of putting Tech on top of Georgia in all aspects. For effort and innovation alone, Georgia Tech is the state champion. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: The Good Guys come up short again, but leave their message for all to see. BOTTOM, LEFT TO RIGHT: Cheerleaders, led by Kim Ligas and Kim Krabe, stir up some pre-game spirit for the Yellow Jackets. Two fans think this just might be the year as they celebrate a Tech score. The flash card section shows the motto of the day. Looking Back I 27
