It is such a vague concept, and difficult to fully Pine; yet, no matter how Spir- interpreted, there is no de- ng that the University of :orgia has more than its fair are. The spirit of the Bulldogs in be seen at pep rallies, tail- ate parties, parades, and foot- tall games. At every event in- volving university students, there is always evidence of spirited people out to have a ood time. UGA has it all.

Today, Lumpkin House is in its origi- nal position in the middle of South Campus. 6 Opening
