OLD TRADITIONS THE ROCK AN OLD SCr Boe’ eee, TO AN HINT While many new SCT traditions are being created constantly, one old SCT tradition came to a sudden halt this year. “Capturing The Rock,” is now a tradition of the past. For many years, capturing the rock was one of the big- gest traditions enjoyed by SCTstudents. It was considered a show of school spirit whenever a campus organization or fra- ternity was able to gain possession of “The Rock.” In recent years, however, the captur- ing of the rock was accompanied by van- dalism of the campus. The school’s ad- ministration responded by banning any organization from “Capturing the Rock.” The “Rock's” future was in lim- bo for some time while the administra- tion decided what “The Rock’s” fate would be. The administration's final de- cision was to permanently ban the tradi- tion of “Capturing The Rock.” Along with the decision to permanently ban capturing the rock, the administration also felt that the area surrounding the rock should be cleaned up. After the rock and the surrounding area were cleaned up, the school commissioned a plaque to be made and placed on it. One of the lines from the inscription reads as follows, “The Rock” has a rich tradition as a gathering point for many campus activities. 1) Plaque, now presently on “The Rock.” 2) PPD placing the plaque on “The Rock.” Opening « 17

NEW TRADITIONS There are several new Traditions here at Southern Tech. In 1986, the school decided to change its name and have a new seal designed. The college’s name was changed from Southern Technical Institute to Southern College of Technol- ogy. It was rumored on campus that the new name stated the school’s purpose clearer than the old name. The school also commissioned that a new seal be designed. On the new seal, are pictured a Southern Tech Diploma, The Georgia State Seal, a textbook, and a Sketch of the rock. The new changes in the name and the seal went over without too much turmoil. In the end, every one concerned was pleased with the outcome. The changes were seen as just the birth of New Traditions to be passed on to future generations. 1. The name change as seen on the sign at the entrance to the campus. 2. The new seal for Southern Tech. 16 Paul Grady
