Qeorgial . . . Bulldogs! On an autumn Saturday afternoon, this familiar chant can be heard echoing throughout the streets of Ath- ens. An outsider, if asked about life at Georgia would most likely first picture the great football tradition of the University of Georgia. But all University of Georgia students know that while the Silver Britches and tailgating are a big part of campus life, there is much more to experience. Georgia life is definately an in- escapable collage of culture and activities. It is the grace of the old southern homes on An- tebellum Trail, but it is also the mod style of the 40 Watt Club downtown. It ' s a packed Orbit bus, an early Monday 7:50 class, and of course, studying and socializing late at the li- brary. The Tate Student Center also offers evidence of Geor- gia ' s diversity as one may find an anti-apartheid rally or a ser- mon by Brothers Jim and Jed and Sister Cindy. Might life is yet another aspect of UGA campus life. Students too often find themselves at various night spots, fraternity parties, and midnight madness. Unfor- tunately, sometimes on these same nights, some students find themselves encompassed by our diligent law enforce- ment. Seasons also play a big part in student ' s lives. As in the fall one may see a migra- tion of Bulldogs to Florida for a single weekend or the rush of eager pledge hopefuls. The spring is especially active with Derby and Greek Week, Spring break, and Brumby Beach. Yes, the University of Georgia has it all from spirit and sports to academics and a great so- cial life. Just ask any Georgia student about campus life; they ' ll flash a big smile and say that it ' s the place to be. f 4 8 Opening

In 1946, the Arch was moved backwards about six feet, placed on some limestone steps, and the two lights were added. The legend of the Arch, located at the entrance to North Campus says that University fresh- men must walk around it, not under it, and that those who violate this tra- dition will become sterile for life! .

LEFT: Campus Life at UGA always includes cramming for exams before class. -£ 01 Cm It ' s not very hard to note the changes that have taken place here at the University of Georgia over the past 1 00 years. The physical look of the campus, the students, the curriculum, and traditions, all, at least in some way, have been altered. Here one of the old traditions is illus- trated as freshmen line up to buy their freshman caps to be worn their entire freshman year. Freshmen were also not allowed to walk under the arches. S trict attention was paid to these rules and punishment was se- vere. It was much like being a pledge to the University of Georgia for an entire yearl
