STARTING YOUNG — In many fam ilies, the Georgia tradition begins at an early age. In time they will bring their own traditions to the University. INTERNATIONAL FLAIR — A walkon from Biarritz, France who had never before played football, Richard Tardits added a new twist to the Bulldogs and wowed audiences. he list of changes keeps right on go- ing. A new Vice President for Aca- demic Affairs and a new Arts and Sci- ences Dean began their tenure. The for- mer V.P. for Academ- ic Affairs. Louise McBee, became the first woman inducted into Sphinx. Until now, this secret, non- academic honor soci- ety had excluded the membership of wom- en. Alpha Lambda Delta and Phi Eta Sigma also went co- ed. Brumby and Cres- well Halls received new security systems. These systems permit entrance only with an access card. While the women ' s dorms were boosting safety awareness, Russell Hall also implement- ed a new escort policy — to the chagrin of many of its residents. The University has made many changes to better prepare it- self for the decade which lies ahead. Old traditions are clash- ing with new atti- tudes, technologies, and standards, and therefore are adapt- ing ... A CHANGE IS IN THE AIR. OPENING 7

Many exciting events take place on the Tate Student Center Plaza. In Summer Quarter 1988, Jack White demonstrat- ed pool strategies to passers-by. Being dropped off or picked up by friends along Baldwin Street, the busi- est street on campus, complicates the heavy pedestrian traffic flow. raditions have been in transition in two halves of UGA campus life: both academic and social. The ever-in- creasing student pop- ulation has been the largest contributing factor to changes in student life. On the academic level, computers have greatly changed tradi- tional ways of writing term papers and tak- ing tests. Our new student government was able to extend li- brary lounge hours. Since classes usually are nerve racking, many students found the Tate Center to be a relaxing place to meet friends, to catch a movie, or to be en- tertained on the Pla- za. On the social level, the new policy that prohibited outdoor parties did not deter students from enjoy- ing nightlife as much as possible. In fact, the popularity of pri- vate parties and nightclubs such as T.K. ' s and 40 Watt has increased. With classes, study- ing, relaxing, and par- tying, students hardly ever had time to be bored! That ' s why campus life is still the traditionally once-in- a-lifetime Athens ex- perience that only UGA can offer! ir CAMPUS LIFE DIVISION 9
