Standard Chemical Company, Franklin ' s Destroyed by Fire No more daytime meals or nighttime dances will be made by the faithful customers of Franklin ' s and Standard. A 2- hour fire on May 5, proved to be the end of both these businesses. Smoke was spot- ted coming from between Franklin ' s and Standard at ab- out 8:45 p.m., half an hour af- ter the delicatessen had closed and before the Standard was open. Seven fire trucks answered the call, but both businesses suffered total loss. All across campus the next day students could be heard re- miniscing the great sandwiches Franklin ' s served and the good times they had dancing at Stan- dard. Standard and Franklin ' s are gone, but the memories and experiences which people shared will live on forever. 14 Introduction

Displays convey the true message Homecoming always gives dorms and fraternities their chance to convey their message to the opponent that year. Below is a sample of those messages. Theta Chi clearly wants to ring Tennessee Tech ' s neck while Hamil Hall calls on Kermit to mop them up and Tau Kappa Epsilon has the Eagles for a Saturday evening roast. Hamil Hall was awarded first place for Best On-Campus Display while Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternin was awarded Best Off-Campus Display and IFC and Alumni Yard Display. Congratulations to both groups and to the students who worked long hard hours on them. Introduction 1:

Atlanta Killings Produce A Response From Concerned TSU Students The SGA sponsored an Atlanta Children ' s Day April 21, 1981. All students were encouraged to wear green ribbons to remember the vic- tims. A program was held in the Adams Center Ballroom with President Ralph Adams giving his comments and Rev. Samuel Walker as guest speak- er. The TSU Gospel Choir sang and Carolin Crawford read scripture. A ceremony was held in Bibb Braves Quad, as pic- tured, where concerned stu- dents tied green ribbons around a tree in hopes that the killer would soon be caught and all other children would be safe. Students and instructors alike could be seen all over campus during this time wear- ing green ribbons showing their concern for the Atlanta victims. Introduction I
