Roseen and

Tis past summer, Outdoor Recre-
ation Georgia Tech (ORGT) organized
an expedition for a group of 11 students
to trek from Kathamandu, Nepal to the
Everest Base Camp. Led by the presi-
dent of ORGT, Sid Agarwal, the trek
was meant to last eleven days. Among
the group of students were Dillon
Roseen, current Student Government
Association (SGA) president and Nick
Picon, the 2013-2014 SGA president.
For me, the trip was about tak-
ing some time before the school year
to think about what I hope to achieve
in a place thats absolutely beautiful,
Roseen said. [Going to Everest] has
always been on my bucket list.
In preparation for the trek, the
group of students had to train exten-
sively to acclimate themselves to hiking
in high-altitude areas. We wore these
masks that made us look like Bane,
Picon joked. It felt like someone was
preventing me from breathing, but
thats really what its like.
Te students approached the CRC
in order to develop an intense exercise
plan and worked together to keep each
other on track.
Tough the group members each
had unique experiences with backpack-
ing and hiking, all of them trained ex-
tensively for months leading up to the
backpacking expedition.
It started out with a lot of re-
sistance training, cardio and stair
climbs, Roseen said. If I ever have to
do a lunge again, Ill know how to do it,
but I wont be happy.
Te group also held meetings to

Football season is fast
approaching, and many former
Jackets will continue their playing
careers on Sunday afternoons,
living their dreams as professionals
in the NFL. Tere are currently 22
players in the league that used to
call the Flats home, ranging from
All-Pro superstars to rookie free
agents hoping to make the cut.
Calvin Johnson is perhaps the
most renowned Tech alum in the
pros. He is the number one wide
receiver on the Detroit Lions and
is considered by fans and experts to
be the best receiver in the league.
He caught twelve touchdowns
and racked up nearly 1500 yards
in fourteen games last year, and
should be on track for another very
productive season. Te NFL will
be emphasizing defensive holding
and illegal contact rules this year,
which will open up the passing
game, so expect Johnson to put up
even more impressive numbers this
year.
Demaryius Tomas is another
highly skilled NFL receiver that
will be making a lot of highlight
reel catches throughout the year.
He caught 92 passes last year, 14 of
them for touchdowns, and gained
almost as many yards as Johnson.
He also has the beneft of catching
passes from Peyton Manning, so
look for him to have another big
year.

Talk of Ebola and the evi-
dent devastation of communi-
ties around the world make the
disease seem like an outbreak of
apocalyptic proportions; at least
in Liberia.
According to the New York
Times, Liberia accounts for 576
of the 1350 deaths reported in
West Africa, exceeding the largest
Ebola outbreak on record in the
world.
In an interview with the New
York Times, Lindis Hurum, a
coordinator for Doctors Without
Borders said, Its very difcult
and complex in Monrovia. Weve
never had a large outbreak like
this in an urban setting.
On Wednesday, fear of the
rapidly spreading and deadliest
Ebola epidemic on record turned
to violence in Monrovia, Liberia,
as quarantined civilians tried to
break out of the barricaded slum
known as West Point.
Residents hurled rocks at au-
thorities while security sprayed
tear gas and fred bullets into the
angry crowd, injuring four resi-
dents.
Te violent outbreak followed
rising tension as the Liberian gov-
ernment attempted to open an
Ebola center in a school at West
Point, instigating an angry inva-
sion of the school by the West
Point residents while the suspect-
ed Ebola patients fed the facility.
Five days later, West Point was,
without warning, under govern-
ment quarantine.
Close quarters and poor health
care mixed with frustration, fear
and violence have only furthered
distress in the area.

On August 7, 2014, Tech of-
cially announced the automatic
acceptance and four-year tuition
scholarships for all Atlanta Pub-
lic School (APS) valedictorians
and salutatorians. Students un-
der the APS Scholars program
will start classes during the
summer and fall 2015 semesters.
Te ofers under the APS
Scholars program are only avail-
able to Atlanta students in pub-
lic schools.
Georgia Tech has a long-
term commitment to partner-
ing with K-12 schools, and we
are especially committed to the
Atlanta community, said Paul
Kohn, Vice Provost for Enroll-
ment Services. While Georgia
Tech is engaged globally and
nationally, we also believe that
a great institution must main-
tain a strong commitment to
the community in which it re-
sides. We want to attract more
students from Atlanta.
If APS Scholars students un-
der the program maintain GPAs
above 3.0, the scholarship will
pay more than $36,000 in tu-
ition over four years. Te schol-
arship intends to aid minorities
and underrepresented groups.
Te purpose of this program
is to reach out to Atlanta Public
Schools, Kohn said. Geor-
gia Tech does have a long-term
commitment to improve access
for underrepresented groups.
President Peterson believes
that the program helps enroll-
ment of top community stu-
dents and stands as an addi-
tional fnancial aid option to
students in the state of Geor-
gia.
We are pleased to partner
with Atlanta Public Schools
to not only ofer admission to
these deserving young people,
Peterson said in a written state-
ment. A combination of the
various fnancial aid opportuni-
ties available, including our own
Georgia Tech Promise Program,
the Governors REACH Geor-
gia Program and other state and
federal fnancial aid programs,
we will help ensure that these
students can make a Georgia
Tech degree a reality.
Kohn says that he hopes
current students will embrace
Techs initiative to promote ac-
cessibility to quality education
for Atlanta students.
Tis year, 13 Atlanta gradu-
ates will be attending Tech, but
in the future, the scholarship
will be available to the top 38
Atlanta students.

Tis academic year, the Col-
lege of Computing is receiving
a large increase in its Computer
Science and Computational Me-
dia enrollment. Compared to last
year, Computer Science enroll-
ment has increased approximately
25% with over 300 more students.
Also, Computational Media en-
rollment has increased by 65%
compared to Fall 2011.
Many students understand that
a high demand exists for skilled
computationalists in todays job
market, and many students are
searching for degrees in computa-
tional felds. Tech also has about
155 computer science minors for
the current academic year.
If numbers continue to grow
in major and minor enrollments
under the College of Computing,
the institute will consider hiring
instructors to handle the demand.
In the past few years we have
hired additional instructors to
handle the growth, not only in
computing majors, but also in
computing minors, said Charles
Isbell, Senior Associate Dean of
the College of Computing and
Professor in the School of Interac-
tive Computing. Te Institutes
ofcial numbers on student mi-
nors do not tell the whole story,
because students are not required
to declare a minor until just before
they graduate.
Despite the growing enroll-
ment, the College of Computing
will not receive any additional
funding because the budgeting
formula does not involve enroll-
ment numbers, but the College
plans to continue communication
with the Institute for accommo-
dations over time.
Isbell believes that Techs Col-
lege of Computing stands out be-
cause the economy has an increas-
ing need for people in computing
skills and Techs rankings attract
students on a national and inter-
national level.
Te College of Computing
is ranked 9th in the U.S. and by
acknowledging its surrounding
community, it has received in-
creased attention in the market-
place. Many students see degrees
from the College as benefcial ad-
ditions to a resume.
We are benefting from a tre-
mendous need for skilled com-
puting talent, as more and more
sectors of the economy rely on
computing to drive business, Is-
bell said. Its very hard to run a
business in this day and age with-
out an agile IT infrastructure, a
web and social media presence or
a connection to mobile comput-
ing. Tat being said, we like to
think we do things pretty well in
the College.
Additionally, Isbell expressed
gratitude to every student and fac-
ulty member involved in the Col-
lege for the enrollment growth.
We appreciate their energy
and enthusiasm for computing,
and we will do everything we can
to provide them with the best pos-
sible computing education that
any university can ofer, Isbell
said.
None of this would be pos-
sible without the commitment
of our faculty, Isbell said. Tey
truly care about the best under-
graduate education. Our faculty
are the biggest reason we are in
the position we are.

On October 1, 2014, the To-
bacco and Smoke-Free Campus
Policy will go in efect at Tech.
Te Board of Regents approved
the policy in March and is efec-
tive for all 31 public institutions
in the University System.
Tis policy applies to all who
step foot on campusstudents,
faculty, visitors, vendors, visiting
athletesand includes all prod-
ucts that contain tobacco includ-
ing cigarettes, cigars, chewing to-
bacco and e-cigarettes.
All land owned by Tech is
included in this ban, so people
cannot smoke in cars if they are
parked on campus. In addition,
according to Rachael Pocklington
of Institution Communications,
the institute is also asking for the
Greek communitywhose prop-
erties are not owned by the Insti-
tuteto participate in the policy.
Te Institute plans to use En-
forcement Light to enact the
policy.
Tats just a model that relies
on community support, not like
direct action necessarily, said Jus-
tin Eisenberg, Vice President of
Campus Organizations in SGA.
So infractions will be handled for
faculty through their direct man-
agers and for students through the
Ofce of Student Integrity (OSI)
as needed the same way as any
other kind of policy violation.
Te campus community as a
whole will be responsible for up-
holding the policy through several
channels, such as faculty, building
managers and Housing, according
to Pocklington.
While OSI will adjudicate in-
fractions of the tobacco policy by
students on most areas of campus,
violations on campus housing will
be handled through Housings
separate disciplinary system.
Well just treat it like another
judicial case so youll keep getting
documented [and have to attend]
a conduct meeting, said Mandy
Garcia, housing director of the
Harrison, Howell, and Cloudman
housing complex.
According to Georgia Tech
Police Captain Randy Barrone,
GTPD will not be responsible for
enforcement of the tobacco policy.
Like any other campus policy,
GTPD will not be involved unless
behavior disrupts the peace or vio-
lates law, Barrone said.
Another measure that admin-
istrators are taking is to better
communicate the policy.
One thing were doing is
to make sure to follow all the in-
ternational symbols and so there
shouldnt be [questions about the
policy], said JulieAnne William-
son, Assistant Vice President for
Administration and Finance.
Signs reminding students of
the policy will be placed on build-
ings, yard signs and posters. Many
campus Housing buildings have

A video, created by Tech stu-
dents Fredrick Grimm and Pat-
rick Caudil, showing corgis frol-
icking around Tech campus has
gone viral, accumulating over
500,000 views on YouTube. Ac-
cording to Grimm, the video was
the spontaneous result of the pup-
pies visit to campus.
My family had corgi puppies
kind of at the beginning of sum-
mer, and I made a few trips to
see them at home. But all of my
friends who are in Atlanta really
wanted to see them too, Grimm
said.
Grimms parents agreed to
make the trip from nearby North
Augusta, S.C., with the corgis in
tow.
When they brought the
corgis up, not all of my friends
were in town, and some of them
were upset they werent going to
see them, Grimm said. So my
roommates and I just decided
to flm a little video so we could
stitch something together and
show it to our friends who werent
in town so that they could see the
puppies.
Te result of the video was a
minor viral sensation. Te video
was reported by Time.com, Huf-
ington Post and even KCTV Kan-
sas City. Te clip will also be fea-
tured in an upcoming segment of
Good Morning America.
We had no idea it would take
of like it did or it would be that
popular. I fgured it would cheer
some people up during fnals
week, so thats [why] I released it
when I did, Grimm said.
Perhaps the most iconic part of
the video was shots of the corgi
puppies sleeping in baking pans.
According to Grimm, this was
also a happy accident.
We would always feed them
their wet food in the baking
pans and they would all fn-
ish the food and... compete to see
who could sleep inside of the bak-
ing pan, Grimm said. [When]
we brought them up to Atlanta,
they did the same thing.... But
then we realized that we had
many baking pans at our town-
home, so we were just like, Well,
lets not [let] them fght. Lets just
give them all their own baking
pans. So we pulled out baking
pans, and they all ran for them
and were perfectly content inside
of them.
When asked whether they got
in trouble with Tech, Grimm
laughed and commented that
GTPD just came over to them
and played with the puppies.
Tey then continued their round.
Te entire two minute, 40 sec-
ond video was taken on a GoPro
camera by Grimm, Caudil and a
few others. Te video was assem-
bled from approximately an hour
of footage using Premier Pro. Te
video is entitled GoPro: Corgi
Puppies at Georgia Tech.

Startup House opens for
frst semester
!"##"$% '()*#+
!"#$ "&'()*
Startup House, a new program
to encourage student startups cre-
ated by VentureLab, was launched
for the Fall Semester.
Tis semester 42 students are
living on the top foor of Cre-
cine Apartments for the program.
Te purpose of the program is to
help students create startups by
teaching them the basics of en-
trepreneurship and guiding them
through the startup process.
Brandy Nagel, Marketing
and Program Manager for Ven-
tureLab, says she came up with
the idea after seeing the market-
ing material for Tink Big.
I was over in the student
center looking for ways for Ven-
tureLab to reach out to students
and I saw the postcards for the
Tink Big program, Nagel
said. And I picked one up and
I thought, Oh, why isnt there
one around entrepreneurship and
startups? And so I brought it back
here to the ofce and showed it to
my colleagues.
As in all Tink Big programs,
the students live together in the
same block of rooms on campus
housing. Unlike other Tink Big
programs, Startup House pro-
vides resources for students inter-
ested in startups including guest
speakers, tutorials and advice.
Students will come up with
ideas, develop proftable and scal-
able business models and will
launch startups, Nagel said.
So I actually roped all my
roommates that I lived with the
last four years into it to, but I
mean, just going to be working
on Fixd and its going to be cool,
said John Gattuso, a Startup
House participant. Were doing
the ropes course on Friday and
then its going to be good to get
all the other speakers to come in.
Te program comes on the
heels of Startup Summer, another
entrepreneurship program run by
VentureLab over the summer.
I think for everyone else that
had not been through that same
experience, [entrepreneurship
has] a learning curve, because its
completely new. Its not the pro-
cess that youre normally taught in
engineering, and having to learn
that and apply it in however many
weeks we had was difcult, said
Rachel Ford, co-founder of Suc-
cette and participant in Startup
Summer.
Te program takes students
at all stages of entrepreneurship,
from recently interested to stu-
dents who had already developed
their product and business plan.
Several students moved in
with a startup already started,
Nagel said. Well work together
to help them grow their business
with coaching, ofce space if they
need it and introductions to po-
tential customers, business part-
ners and investors.

After switching to the Com-
mon Application in 2013, Tech
has seen the number of applicants
rise greatly. Statistics gathered
about the new class suggest that
this years incoming class of fresh-
men is more diverse and stronger
academically than in years past.
Te total number of applica-
tions was 25,880, up from 17,649
from the year 2013.
[Tere] was an institute re-
cord number of applicants and
with that came a lot of great qual-
ity academically, said Rick Clark,
Director of Admissions.
Because of the spike in appli-
cations, the admission rate de-
creased from 41 percent last year
to 33 percent. Based on standard-
ized test scores, the increasing
selectivity resulted in more aca-
demically qualifed students. Te
middle 50-percent SAT score for
the new class is 2050-2240, com-
pared to 2000-2210 last year.
[Te desire to improve the
human condition] is something
that really bonds our students,
our alumni, our faculty, our staf,
just this idea of progress and ser-
vice, Clark said, referring to the
Institutes motto. When we read
applications were always blown
away by the ideas these kids have,
and these kids ultimately come
here and pursue these things
through the Invention Studio
and the Inventure Prize.
Women make up nearly 39 per-
cent of the new class compared to
37.36 percent from last year. Te
class comes from 47 U.S. states
and 63 countries. Only Alaska,
Montana and South Dakota saw
no new freshman at Tech.
It was such a struggle to have
people apply from all 50 states
throughout the course of the whole
year, but we had ffty states fll up
in the frst round last year, Clark
said. And in the past that has not
been true. Even if we would have
gotten an app from all ffty states,
we couldnt be anywhere near the
quality [of this years class].
While international students
make up roughly 10 percent of
the class, the diversity of countries
represented has increased. While
in previous years nearly 70 per-
cent of the international students
were from Asia, this year Asian
students make up only 52 percent.
In recent years, more students
from Central and South America
are enrolling. Other countries
with growing Tech populations
are Turkey and the United Arab
Emirates.
We bring the world to you
and you know youre going to
meet people from places you
couldnt even point to on a map,
Clark said.
Clark and other members on
the admissions team will be trav-
eling more due to Techs increased
profle with trips planned for Bra-
zil and Panama with Emory Uni-
versity and NYU and Turkey with
University of Illinois and Univer-
sity of California-Berkeley.
A couple years ago Georgia
Tech from an enrollment stand-
pointwas not being invited to
those kinds of opportunities, said
Clark. Te company were keep-
ing is in line with the really elite
schools.
For the coming admissions
season, Tech has new initiatives
to help usher in another strong
freshman class and to raise its na-
tional and international profle.
A social media campaign called
#gtbetterworld invites members
of Tech to take a picture of them-
selves with a caption of how they
would like to change the world.
also begun to display posters.
Te Institute is also covering
the many ashtrays on campus to
avoid sending mixed messages
about the tobacco policy.
Stamps Health Services will
ofer services to support smokers
who want to quit and those who
do not.
Beginning in September, a cer-
tifed American Lung Association
professional will teach a smoking
cessation class and students will
be able to meet with health ser-
vices to quite smoking.
We understand that tobacco
use is an addiction and we rec-
ognize that not everyone is ready
or willing to quit, said Vladimir
Oge, Director of Health Promo-
tion.
Tech students have mixed
opinions regarding this new pol-
icy. According to a survey con-
ducted in February, there was a
47.43 percent to 48.27 percent
split between respondents who
support and oppose the ban, re-
spectively.
Most respondents felt strongly
about the policy with 32.45 per-
cent of students strongly support-
ing the ban and 32.51 percent
strongly opposing it.
I think its kind of harsh to
put a ban on everyone it might
be better to have maybe some des-
ignated smoking spots, said Ho-
Kyung Kim, a third year CHBE.
A lot of people. use smoking as
a way to relax and socialize. Yes,
smoking is bad for you but I think
since its their choice, why not
give some spots [or] areas where
they can smoke in peace without
harming others?

OUR VIEWS | Consensus Opinion
Housing and the future of move-ins
Making move-ins earlier to aid students
Another successful move-in weekend
was completed before the semester was
quickly underway; however, looking to-
wards the future, there are changes hous-
ing could make to help ensure both the
continued quality of services and aid of-
fered by Tech while increasing the time
avaiable for students to get situated with
their dorm rooms.
In a general sense, moving in is a chaotic
time, merely from all of our belongings be-
ing boxed and carted from our homes to
our dorms. Te ubiqutous scene of packed
cars and long lines should become a thing
of the past.
Rather than only leting second years
and above move in the Saturday before
class starts, let students move-in begin-
ning earlier in the week. Tis would be
especially helpful for out-of-state students.
Whereas those instate dont have to
travel and pack quite as heavily, those from
out-of-state could move in earlier, which
would give them more time to unpack and
setle into their dorms at their own pace.
By doing this, it would also dampen the
congestion at locations that are normally
clogged due to the move-in weekend.
Charging students seventy-fve dollars
per each day earlier than the given move-in
period dissaudes students from moving-in
early, which ultimately leads to the conges-
tion experienced on move-in weekend.
Tis means housing would need to set
deadlines earlier into move-in week so
projects within student dorms, such as
painting the walls, are complete by move-
in.
Te nice part about the current system
is it keeps congestion to a minimum due
to no work-day trafc; however, if hous-
ing ultimately prepares and sets a deadline
for rennovations to just a few days earlier,
then students could have a beter overall
move-in experience and a beter, less cha-
otic start to their Fall semester.
Te Consensus Opinion refects the majority opinion of the Editorial Board of the
Technique, but not necessarily the opinions of individual editors.

technique * Augus| 22, 20T4* 9 // OPINIONS
I was an excellent student in
high school. It was not just that I
went to school every day, which I
did, it was that I genuinely paid
attention in class. I did not realize,
though, how hard I was unknow-
ingly working until I got to col-
lege.
Suddenly, I
became a dif-
ferent student.
Without the
parental over-
sight or knowl-
edge that my
small town
teachers knew
who I was, I
stopped atten-
tively listening or taking meticu-
lous notes.
I wrongly assumed that it was
my intellect alone that had carried
me so far. Sure, I was attending
class, but I wasnt really paying at-
tention.
I probably would have carried
on this way, taking Snapchats in-
stead of notes, tweeting instead of
thinking, or worrying about what
I was going to eat after class in-
stead of what was going to be on
the next quiz, if not for a lucky
disaster.
One fateful night, I was too
lazy to put my laptop away. In-
stead, I kept it in my lofted bed,
thinking I was careful enough not
destroy it in my sleep. Tat was
not the case. I awoke to the jag-
ged plastic-y pieces of my Lenovo
scattered across the carpeted foor
of my dorm.
Now, I had to go back to the
seemingly archaic pencil and pa-
per. I had to take notes by hand,
without the distraction of Face-
book or Buzzfeed. I was instantly
worried about how I would get
my homework done, of course,
now that I was laptop-less, but I
was also very concerned that class
would seem to stretch on for for-
ever without my technological
crutches.
I have to say that
I was pleasantly sur-
prised. I had forgotten
how interesting learn-
ing could be when I
knew what was going
on.
I had not realized
how much time I was
wasting outside of
class trying to catch
up with what I had missed. I had
not realized before what I bad stu-
dent I had become.
Now that I had seen the light, I
was changed for good. It has been
a year and a half, and while I did
buy a new laptop, I never bring it
to class.
While I cannot say that I have
gone from a failing student to a
straight A super star, I can say that
I consistently feel more prepared
for my exams. I feel more com-
fortable discussing what I have
learned in school.
But most of all, by truly pay-
ing attention in class, and not just
attending class, I have become a
happier, less stressed Tech student.
Maybe I am an anomaly, may-
be others fnd pencil and paper te-
dious and unproductive. But I am
so thankful for the wild sleeping
habits that resulted in that broken
laptop. Without that fateful inter-
vention, I know I would not be
half the productive and successful
Tech student I am now.

How do you feel about

As I begin my second year at
this school, I would like to dedi-
cate this space to the original
Mount Everest, Freshman Hill.
It does not get enough love;
prospective students dont see it

and RATs fnd
every excuse to
avoid climbing

up. Te walk
from the foot of
the hill isnt what
gets us, its the
approxi mat el y
90-degree climb
up to Cherry
Street starting
from the intersection of Fowler
and Bobby Dodd. But slowly
and surely, this landmark will
win their hearts. Because much
like the dreaded 3 Cs (calculus,
chemistry, and CS 1371) the Hill
teaches hundreds of students each
year something equally as valu-
ablecharacter.
Misery loves company; friend-
ships were born and developed
from complaining about our
calves. Tat girl from your lec-
ture or that guy from frst foor
becomes a walking buddy, a
friend--either because conversa-
tion makes the time fy or you just
want to hide how out of shape you
really are.
As the swarm of freshmen de-
scended back to the dining halls
after class, we were able to collect
a group of friends, classmates,
and random acquaintances to eat
with; I smile back on the times my
booth at North Ave resembled the
UN.
Im defnitely not the Hills

to walk up in the humid, 90 de-

lab day or shiver my way back to
the dorm wearing shorts in single-
degree weather. It
was an annoying
obstacle the times
that I had to dash to
and from the dorm
the days I did laun-
dry between classes.
Like a booth at
the Clough, that
moment when you
fnish walking end-
to-end represents a
small victory during
days where those seem nonexis-
tent. After taking my last fnal
of my frst semester, I basically
glided down the asphalt, the in-
humane amount of stress evapo-
rated into thin air.
Ive also felt like an inmate on
death row on my way to take a
high-stakes test. Tat morning, I
not only feared failing the test but
that I had absolutely no control

I think its a great op-
portunity for the nurses
and doctors that have
been training for this
kind of of opportunity!
I want to extend a warm Yel-
low Jacket welcome to all of the
new incoming students and a
welcome back to those of you
who have been away for the sum-
mer. Te past few years have been
marked by continuing excellence
in numerous areas, and your re-
turn to campus comes at a time
of tremendous momentum and
continuing excellence for our In-
stitute.
For the sixth straight fall se-
mester, we are welcoming the
best-qualifed, most diverse fresh-
man class in Georgia Techs his-
tory. Over the past fve years, un-
derrepresented minorities are up
by 23 percent, and women by 20
percent. Applications rose from
11,400 in fall 2009 to 25,900
in fall 2014. Word is getting out
about Georgia Tech and the tre-
mendous educational and career
opportunities available here.
For many, summer provides
a break from the traditional rou-
tine. Likewise it gives those of us
who remain an opportunity to ac-
complish some things that would
be difcult during the regular aca-
demic year. As a result, you will
see some signifcant changes on
campus.
In particular, the Price Gilbert
Grove, located on the north side
of the Price Gilbert Library, and
the area near the Cherry Street/
Ferst Drive intersection have been
refurbished. Along Techwood
Drive, the streetscape has been
completely redone, as has the area
in front of Brittain Dining Hall.
Te Towers Residence Hall has
been renovated and now houses
freshmen, and renovation on the
Glenn Residence Hall continues,
with plans to reopen to students
in fall 2015. Finally, additional
streetscape and sidewalk improve-
ments have been completed along
Ferst Street near the Marcus Nan-
otechnology Building and else-
where on campus.
Te most ambitious project
currently underway is the En-
gineered Biosystems Building
(EBB) on 10th Street. When com-
pleted in spring 2015, it will add
218,000 square feet of academic
and research space for faculty and
students in the colleges of Science
and Engineering.
It has been designed as an in-
terdisciplinary hub to foster col-
laboration that many times results
in incredible breakthroughs. It
has been said that if the cure for
cancer is to be found at Georgia
Tech, it will happen in the EBB.
We ask for your patience with
the inconveniences resulting from
the construction that is winding
down. Several years ago during
the construction of the Clough
Commons, many endured signif-
cant disruptions to their normal
routine so that today we could
enjoy a facility thats become a
campus hub with a gate count
over 2.5 million visits per year.
EBB will be to researchers what
Clough Commons is to our stu-
dents, a wonderful facility where
collaboration and innovation can
fourish.
While facilities are important,
so too are programmatic consid-
erations, and we remain com-
mitted to providing outstanding
resources for learning, and a safe
and healthy environment for our
community. Tis past spring, we
appointed a Presidential Task
Force to explore, and fnd solu-
tions to, an issue that is being ad-
dressed both nationally and here
at Georgia Tech: sexual violence.
Te Task Force has submitted a
fnal report, and we are moving
forward with many of its recom-
mendations.
In addition, the Mental Health
Task Force has fulflled its charge,
and we are well down the path of
implementing its recommenda-
tions. Our students function in
what can be a high-stress, high-
productivity environment, and we
want to do everything we can to
assist them so that they can be as
successful as possible.
You will hear more details
about the progress made on the
recommendations from these two
task forces as the year progresses.
I encourage you to become famil-
iar with the many on-campus re-
sources.
While here at Georgia Tech, I
hope you will take full advantage
of being in one of our nations
most vibrant cities. We ofer nu-
merous opportunities to get in-
volved in the Atlanta community.
In addition, more than 400
campus organizations are avail-
able, encompassing virtually any
interest you might have and pro-
viding leadership opportunities.
Our goal is to ensure that your
time at Georgia Tech will be an
unforgettable period of academic
and personal growth, in a safe and
healthy campus environment. To-
gether, we can make this a reality
for the entire Georgia Tech com-
munity. Please take care of your-
self, look out for each other, and
have a great year.

What happened to Paul George
in USA Basketballs scrimmage
earlier this month is every athletes
worst nightmare while competing
for their country in international
competition.
For those who dont know,
George sufered an
open tibia-fbula
fracture after collid-
ing with the bottom
of the goal while at-
tempting to block a
shot in the fourth
quarter of the scrim-
mage. George, who
signed a fve-year
extension worth up
to 90 million with
the Indiana Pacers
in 2013, will miss
the entire 2014-15
NBA season.
Tere really is no reason that
George or any other NBA star
should be competing in the FIBA
World Cup. Tere is just too much
risk involved for such little gain.
It did not take Kevin Durant
long to come to this realization.
Just a week after George sufered
the gruesome injury, Durant with-
drew from the team, citing physi-
cal and mental fatigue.
Tat very well could be true,
but it is nave to believe that
Georges injury had absolutely
zero afect on Durants decision
to withdraw. It did not take long
after the announcement for some
fans to express their displeasure
with Durants decision. Fans took
to the twitter to express how Kev-
in Durant clearly hates America or
something else along the lines of
how he only cares about himself
and money .
Te criticism even led Durant
to tweet, You Cant please every-
body. Forreal. Tough many fans
were unhappy, it is not hard to see
why Durant made the decision
that he did.
Te biggest consequence that
a player of Durants caliber could
face after an injury is future fnan-
cial loss. Not just a couple million
dollars, but possibly hundreds
of millions. Durant was recently
ofered a sponsorship deal from
Under Armour worth 325 million
over the next ten years.
If he sufered an injury similar
to Georges, it is possible Under
Armour could rescind the ofer.
If the injured player is never
able to return to their previous
form on the court, they could also
lose millions in their next NBA
contract. Looking at this purely
fnancially it should be easy to see
why some players may not want to
compete in international competi-
tion.
Not only do they have a ton to
lose, but there really is not much
to be gained either.
Honestly, does anyone remem-
ber Jordan for what he did in in-
ternational competition? No. Peo-
ple remember him for winning six
NBA Championships. It could be
worth for young payers on the rise
to prove that they compete against
top-notch competition and also
play alongside other big names,
but elite players are past this point
in their career. Besides claiming
that you won an Olympic gold
medal, there is not anything real
appealing about international
Not unpatriotic; just fscally responsible
competition.
For many players, the chance to
represent their country by playing
the game they love is an opportu-
nity that is too good to pass up.
Even though they still have the risk
of sufering an injury, the chance
at winning a gold
medal outweighs
that risk.
Tere is noth-
ing wrong with
that. For many
others, the op-
portunity to rep-
resent America
and win a gold
medal does not
outweigh the po-
tential fnancial
loss or the missed
opportunity to
compete for an NBA Champion-
ship.
Tere is nothing wrong with
that either. It is time that we stop
labeling players greedy or unpa-
triotic, as Durant was after with-
drawing, just because they choose
not to play for their country.
Some people may say that risk-
ing money and your career is the
point in playing for or represent-
ing your country. I would agree
with that if the players were com-
peting for something valuable. Im
not sure anyone is going to have
thier life completely changed by
the USA winning the 2014 FIBA
World Basketball Championships.
For example, soldiers risk way
more than ay athelte when they
choose to fght for our country.
Tey are literally putting their life
on the line. Te difernce is they
are risking everything in order to
protect something that truly mat-
ters, our freedom.
Players have to make the deci-
sion that is best for them. For Du-
rant, he believed the best thing to
do was withdraw, and we should
respect that decision.
Wing Zone
Open under the Curran
Parking deck over on West
Campus is Wing Zone. A vari-
ety of wings mixed with good,
college-friendly prices makes
it the perfect place to go and
chow down. Best part being,
its open til 2am daily except
Sundays (midnight), and of-
fers delivery, also making it
a prime option for your mid-
night munchies.
Burger King Security
If youre in the mood for
a burger, take head of Burger
King. As several Cleary Acts
have gone out in the past week,
lets remember a few very im-
portant points: if you want to
help a person out with direc-
tions, handing the person your
phone while theyre in a car
may not end well. Also try not
to answer Craiglist Ads in a
downtown parking lot.
Brittain Changes
Construction and renova-
tions provide a whole host of
pains around Tech, but if they
end up like how Brittain did,
Tech might become even more
the beauty. Even though trees
were taken down, the expand-
ed sidewalk and openness of
the Brittain quad actually pro-
vides a nice backdrop to the
Atlanta Skyline.
North Ave North
As we are all well aware,
Tech being situated in Atlanta
ofers a variety of opportuni-
ties that rural colleges just
cant compete with; however,
the downfall for our urban
luxuries is with high parking
prices. More unfortunate than
the over $700 parking pass is
the parking passes being over-
sold in the N. Ave North deck.

When Delta fight 9 landed in
Atlanta, it was a short taxi before
we were parked at the internation-
al terminal and my study abroad
for the summer in Oxford ofcial-
ly ended. Te homesickness set in
about two weeks before actually
leaving.
As each day got closer to our
immanate departure, I became
more and more relieved to be go-
ing home. Finally when the day
came, I was just ready to go. Our
fight was delayed by maybe an
hour, but other than that, it was
just nine hours till I was back in
the land of queso and air condi-
tioning.
After the usual headache of At-
lanta customs, I picked up my bag
and ran to see my parents for the
frst time in months. My frst meal
back in America was the Quesari-
to from Taco Bella moment of
pure bliss I will never forget.
My phone was back to unlim-
ited data; I could check in with
social media whenever I pleased.
When we got home, my dogs ran
outside of the house and were so
excited to see me that they actu-
ally cried. Tere was legitimate
food in the refrigerator (which
I didnt have to pay for with my
own money!).
I lasted till 9pm before my
body succumbed to the efects of
jet lag, at which point I drowsily,
yet happily, sauntered up to meet
my familiar bed. My head hit the
pillow and the next fourteen hours
were a blur, but when I woke up, I
felt diferent.
My parents had left for work,
my dogs were napping at the front
of my bed, the sun was shinning,
and everything seemed, as it had
been right before I embarked on
my adventures. Except nothing
was.
I went to get my cup of cof-
fee and hurriedly checked Face-
book. My new friends (shout out
to Group 1 ,Group Fun) miracu-
lously made it to midnight. I was
tagged in a stream of pictures
from the last few days of the trip.
And all of a sudden, I was going
through withdrawal.
I wasnt with 150 other Tech
students in Europe. I wasnt seeing
and hearing about everyones days
and the plans for going to the pub
for the night. I had stopped stress-
ing over how outrageously expen-
sive British products were. Worst
of all, I actually missed my group.
From the frst class to now,
I would never have predicted
both the changes in myself and
the changes within our group
that made us go from an awk-
ward cluster of people to being a
tight-knit group of people. If this
is what happens when you study
abroad, everyone should.
Studying abroad has taught
me a lot of things. Some rude-
mentary: trying to speak another
persons language goes a long way,
our generation has an extreme ad-
diction to our phones (understate-
ment), being disconnected for a
little doesnt actually kill you (the
horror!), there are other options
aside from Starbucks, a good fl-
ter can make any ordinary scene
look amazing, waiting last minute
to buy your tickets for events re-
ally isnt the greatest option, and
southern hosptiality shouldnt be
taken for granted.
Ten the crazier ones, such as
Italians can somehow wear leather
suites in the midst of July heat,
eating pasta for the rest of your
life gets old in two weeks, getting
outside of your comfort zone only
can only expand your comfort
zone (or at the very least , rein-
force it), you should really check
your directions twice so you dont
walk outside of a citythe list re-
ally is endless.
Greatest of all though is that
people can surprise you, and that
includes yourself. Before this trip,
I would say I was very introverted.
I could easily converse with other
people, but I needed to have my
own time. After this, Ive real-
ized that sometimes, it can be re-
ally fun to have a group of people
around.
We all make judgments: for
better, for worse, at home or on
this campus. Tere are stereotypes
about the people in diferent or-
ganizations and about individu-
als in general. But the best feeling
comes in seeing a person com-
pletely obliterate that stereotype.
Studying abroad gains you new
friends and experiences of a life-
time. It grounds you in this world
and makes you appreciate all of
the luxuries of America and re-
ally breaths life into the ultimate
cliche that there is no place like
home. You get a nice break away
from Tech, and ultimately, I hope
you will come to appreciate Tech
all the more, after studying in
a college/colleges from another
country.
You should study abroad be-
cause this is an optimal time in
your life. Youre young and in
good health.
You should study abroad, not
only as a nice break away from
Tech, and not only to get the
experience of a life time, but for
nothing more than the most fun-
damental reasoning that it will
challenge the very fabric of how
you perceive other people and cul-
tures.

A bucket list of Tech-related activities and goals that will

Syllabus day, which often ex-
tends into syllabus week, is seen
by many as the most pointless
use of time over the entire school
year. Professors waste hours going
over the syllabus, poring over each
detail. Of course, each of these
lectures begins with the same, ri-
diculously infuriating comment.
Tis wont take long.
Right. Of course it wont take
long. You believed this lie, of
course, for the frst few days...of
middle school. You stared into
your teachers eyes as he patroniz-
ingly said, I hope I dont have to
read this for you, before he pro-
ceeded to read it anyway.
Over six years later, you are
still stuck in the exact same place.
Such is life.
Only now, you have the dis-
tinct privilege of paying hundreds
of dollars to attend this class.
Five minutes pass. Hes still
reading the class objectives. You
updated your Facebook status
three minutes ago.
Five more minutes pass. Te
professor has spent thirty seconds
of silence adding up the grading
breakdown percentages, only to
realize that the maximum pos-
sible grade in the class is a 70, but
students need a 90 or above to get
an A.
Whatever; this is Georgia
Tech, you can do that.
Tis fasco inevitably leads to
the climax of syllabus day: going
over the Honor Code. Te pro-
fessor scrolls down, inadvertently
creating mood lighting by display-
ing a torrent of text on the projec-
tor. He then proceeds to give an
anti-cheating lecture so melodra-
matic that you feel guilty for even
being a student.
After everything, whats the
point of even attending this frst
day? Are you really at a disadvan-
tage when you miss the frst day of
class? Is it really so bad if, instead
of hearing the Honor Code read
to you for the eighteenth time,
you decide to fnally complete the
campaign challenges on Batman:
Arkham City? If time is money,
would not you be able to use the
time you gained from skipping
syllabus day to help pay of stu-
dent loans? Tats how fnance
works, right?
Te answer is yes.

Tech has a large variety of food
options for students, with several
diferent restaurants in walking
distance of campus. Here are just
a few places where you can get a
quick, delicious meal.
WingNuts: With a vast ar-
ray of boneless wings, burgers and
gourmet wraps, WingNuts is the
prime place to be on Wednesday
nights, where one can receive a
half pound of extra wings after
ordering one pound. As Abhi
Malhorta, a second-year IE major,
says, All of the wings are deli-
cious. I personally recommend the
cajun teriyaki wings and the chi-
potle ranch. Tey are all so good
its hard to choose.
Te eatery, located on Marietta
Street near the Engineers Book-
store, also delivers while staying
open until 11:30 every night.
Satto Tai and Sushi: On
West Campus near the Engineers
Bookstore, Satto Tai and Sushi
ofers Tai and Japanese food at
an afordable price. Te perfect
place for a date night or a night
out with friends, the restaurants
dcor helps create the pleasant
atmosphere. Known for the Pad
See Ew and the Tai Iced Tea, the
establishment has lunch specials
until 3 p.m.
Raku: Raku Tonkotsu Ra-
men, a fairly new restaurant grac-
ing Marietta Street, serves ramen
noodles in a steamy, tasteful broth
while completely upgrading the
stereotypical college ramen expe-
rience.
Although the parking gener-
ally tends to remain crowded, the
restaurant is in within walking
distance of Tech so students can
easily access the fresh Japanese
food. Since ramen restaurants
tend to be a rarity in Atlanta,
Raku undoubtedly flls this void.
Tumbs Up Diner: Also lo-
cated on Marietta Street, Tumbs
Up Diner is where breakfast is
always served. With regular cus-
tomers frequenting the establish-
ment weekly, Tumbs Up Diners
build your own breakfast plate
or omelet specials seem to be a
consistent favorite. New custom-

You cant push it back any-
more. Te days are getting shorter
and shorter; you feel a strange sad-
ness in the wind and your sum-
mer plans have dwindled down
to crying deeply. School has
started again, bringing with it all
of the horrendous lectures, home-
work assignments and exams that
it had always promised.
It doesnt have to be all bad,
however, as long as you are able
to keep a level head and do whats
necessary to stay alive. Fortunate-
ly, there are a few things that will
help you through this depressing
transition.

Tis may seem like a weird
cheatcode intended to Jedi-mind-
trick you into doing your work.
Its devious, but it works. When-
ever you open up Netfix to watch
just one more episode of Orange
Is the New Black, just close it out
and promise yourself that you will
eventually come back to it. As a
quick and easy distraction, try
starting on that fun, engaging
CS 2110 homework. Seriously, it
will only take a second, and you
can go right back to wasting your
time. Its a perfect solution.

Okay, this may seem like ter-
rible advice, but sticking with it
will make you the perfect student.
Spend the frst week of school
conditioning yourself to hate skip-
ping class. For the frst two days
of class, just sit in your room with
the lights of, and talk to nobody.
By Wednesday morning, you will
hunger so much for any human
contact that you will gladly at-
tend class every single day of the
semester. Prepare to have perfect
attendance for the next four years.
!$+.$ /(9) )((:
Forget all of the advice the last
tip. Every minute spent in your
room is a minute wasted. Georgia
Tech is an experience that is best
spent outside, especially for the
frst month.
Clubs will be recruiting with
the greatest enthusiasm that they
will ever possess over the course
of the entire year, and bright-eyed
freshmen will wander the campus
looking for friends. Remember,
none of this will be found inside
Tech housing.

take care of logistics like food,
water and risk management plans,
and spent time learning about dif-
ferent cultural customs.
Te people over there are
amazing, Roseen said. Tere are
a lot of cultural diferences that we
had to keep track of. For example,
traditionally, whenever you accept
something like money or food,
you have to use your right hand.
Te group also had to plan
to use porters and guides to help
them along the trek, since they
would need help from more expe-
rienced hikers.
After preparation was com-
plete, the group left to Nepal.
Tey few from Kathamandu to
Lukla Airport, which is com-
monly ranked as one of the most
dangerous airports in the world.
Te runway at Lukla Airport
is extremely steep and short, and
the airport usually reports at least
one crash per year. Landing on the
strip assumes that the slope will be
enough to stop an airplane, and
taking of assumes that the slope
will be enough to give the airplane
the thrust and lift that it needs.
Honestly, that was the most
nervous I felt over the entire trip,
Picon said.
Te original plan was to spend
eight days getting to Everest Base
Camp and three more days com-
ing back.
However, after fve days, the
group had to deal with unexpect-
ed sickness.
About halfway into the trip,
a few of us started getting sick,
Picon explained. People started
displaying fu-like symptoms, and
they were eventually diagnosed
with altitude sickness.
Over three days, the group per-
severed despite having sick mem-
bers, and they called two helicop-
ters to airlift the most ill members
back to Kathamandu.
Finally, after there were only
fve members left, Agarwal de-
cided to call of the trek and
bring the rest of the group back to
Kathamandu. In total, eight out
of the 11 members of the group
succumbed to altitude sickness.
When I was getting airlifted
back to Kathamandu, the sky was
absolutely clear, Roseen said. It
was all worth it in the end.
Roseen and Picon credited
Agarwal with the quick actions
that led to the groups safety.
Sid was awesome, Roseen
said. He sprang into action and
was able to pull the necessary in-
formation we needed from our
emergency plans. He worked with
the trekking agency to ensure that
we got the help we needed to come
back down safely.
Overall, Roseen and Picon said
that they had a wonderful experi-
ence in Nepal.
I got to see a lot of beautiful
things, Picon said. Even when
it was cloudy, it was amazing be-
cause I was able to see some of the
tallest mountains in the world.
Tough the expedition was ul-
timately unsuccessful, ORGT was
still able to use their resources and
planning to ensure that all mem-
bers of the group returned home
safely.

Tis is the most difcult thing
you will ever do at Tech. Try your
best to learn the diferent bus
routes from the theoretical maps.
Start to factor in the extra varibles,
such as weather, surprise construc-
tion and bus driver boredom, and
like the rest of the student body,
come to the sorry conclusion that
you will never be able to accurate-
ly forecast the coming and going
of the treacherous buses.

Speaking of leaving your room,
be sure you try new things. Col-
lege is the time to start fresh, and
our campus is the perfect place to
do this. Go and decorate the ice
cream cone in front of the Ferst
Center or join the crew team.
Whether you like these experi-
ences, or not, theyre guaranteed
to make better stories to tell your
children rather than how you met
their mother. And if you do end
up loving these new experiences,
youre welcome.

For many people, college is the
frst time that theyre away from
home, and at frst this can be
great. However, it can get over-
whelming after a while.
If this happens, remember
you are around a community
that wants to help you and watch
you succeed. Talk to your profes-
sors if you feel that you are fall-
ing behind, and if youre feeling
homesick, call home. Tere is no
shame in asking for a little help
sometimes.

Roseen promises to improve student experience
!"#$! &'(#)*
!""#"$!%$ '#() )*#$+,
Dillon Roseen, fourth-year
Public Policy and International
Afairs major, serves as the stu-
dent body president and leads the
Student Government Association
(SGA).
Having served previously as
the SGA Vice President of Inter-
nal Afairs, Roseen plans on mak-
ing changes to the internal struc-
ture of SGA in the hopes of better
serving the student body.
Roseen has several ideas for
the 2014-2015 school year and
has worked with his team over the
summer to make progress on sev-
eral of these goals.
Technique: What do you
think are the most important ini-
tiatives that you and Brandi will
tackle this year?
Dillion Roseen: We plan to
improve the student experience.
One of the big goals we have this
year is to use SGA as a vehicle to
improve the student leaders with-
in the organization as opposed to
directly hiring leaders.
We have also restructured the
executive branch to add a Leader-
ship Endowment Chair.
We also focused on incorporat-
ing more of a service component
for GT 1000 classes by creating
philanthropy projects to promote
more class unity and Tech tradi-
tions.
I also met with Drew Jacoby,
the UGA Student Body President,
and we discussed the relationship
between Tech and UGA. We hope
to promote more unity between
the two schools, especially since
we are the major research institu-
tions in Georgia.
Te goal is to focus on an up
with the white and gold mental-
ity instead of a down with the
red and black mentality. Hope-
fully, we can maintain our rivalry
on the football feld and still be
friendly.
Technique: What about your
new job working with external
afairs and students most excites
you?
Roseen: Im most excited to
serve as the representation of what
SGA is doing to improve the stu-
dent experience.
At the end of the day, if we
are doing something that is posi-
tive for the student body I think
that is the most important thing.
Whether or not SGA is recog-
nized for that is secondary.
We also created a new com-
munications team so people know
that if they have concerns or com-
ments they can come to us.
Currently, Im excited to work
with media groups and speak to
the freshmen class, as I love shar-
ing what SGA is doing for Tech
and the student body.
Technique: One of the most
interesting parts I thought about
your campaign last year was that
you promised to have a direct con-
tact with the student body.
What kind of things do you
plan on doing to follow through
on this promise?
Roseen: We are developing a
new website called We the Stu-
dents, which is modeled after
We the People, a White House
petition forum where people can
write about an issue. If that issue
receives a certain amount of sup-
port from others, then it will be
addressed by the White House.
Te We the Students portal
would be a way for students to
showcase issues that are afecting
them on diferent areas of cam-
pus; SGA would then respond to
these issues on the portal. We plan
on releasing the website at the end
of this year for use next semester.
We are still trying to determine
what level of student involvement
will merit a response by SGA.
We also have a social media
chair who plans on reaching out
to students about the new website,
while we can partner with other
organizations to publicize the
website as well.
Technique: Another initiative
that stood out about your cam-
paign was your plans for address-
ing sexual violence on campus.
What have you done this sum-
mer with regards to the sexual vio-
lence task force and what do you
plan to do in the future?
Roseen: We worked a lot this
summer on the sexual violence
task force, and we created a list of
recommendations to address this
issue on campus. An ad hoc com-
mittee was also formed to make
sure these recommendations are
making progress throughout the
year.
We have also planned for a
video campaign to help use male
voices as a way to combat sexual

well worth the journey.
Since the eatery epitomizes
Southern charm, individuals
should not be surprised if there is
a line out the door. With delicious
corned beef hash and skillet coun-
try ham, the Silver Skillet also has
been featured in multiple movies
and the famous Diners, Drive-
Ins, and Dives on the Food
Channel.
Mary Macs: Another restau-
rant characterized by Southern
charm, Mary Macs is ofcially
declared Atlantas Dining Room.
With traditional Southern dishes,
such as fried okra and Georgia
peach cobbler, the restaurant of-
fers a complimentary Pot Likker
cup to frst-time visitors.
Troughout the restaurant, in-
dividuals will see various pictures
of celebrities and public fgures
lining the walls further afrming
the restaurants popularity. It is
the perfect place to take parents,
specifcally out-of-towners, for a
taste of Southern cuisine.
ally showed up to lecture and later
emailed the class, explaining that
he had car trouble.
Another professor, deciding
that the syllabus was important
enough to merit spending two
days on it, began reading the
course objectives word-for-word.
None of the professors covered
difcult or signifcant material on
the frst day of class.
Te professors that did even-
tually make it to a lecture simply
reviewed material from the course
prerequisites or simply asked stu-
dents if and why they were inter-
ested in the course material.
It comes as no surprise that
skipping syllabus day had no neg-
ative repercussions. In fact, it was
a relief not listening to the same
message reiterated several times
over the course of two days. Re-
turning to class once actual mate-
rial was being covered proved to
be refreshing and, above all, more
productive.
So go ahead; skip the frst day
or two of class. After all, whats
the worst that can happen?
two days of class yields a sobering
amount of insight into the frankly
ridiculous tradition of syllabus
day.
Walking into a class on the sec-
ond day without any idea of what
happened on day one had abso-
lutely no efect on the difculty
of adjusting to the professor, the
workload, or the class.
In one case, skipping the frst
day turned out to be a good de-
cision; the professor never actu-
violence. As a campus with over
60 percent men, we have a unique
opportunity to be a leading in-
stitution where the men can be a
part of the solution.
Technique: Earlier, you had
mentioned SGAs online initia-
tives. What eforts have you done
to improve SGAs social presence?
Roseen: Weve used Reddit,
Facebook, and Twitter more to
communicate with students while
receiving feedback.
Im not a big Reddit user my-
self, but it was really interesting to
look at that thread, just because
most of the comments there were
so candid.
Technique: With regards
to the academic calendar, what
changes have you guys made, and
when do you think they will be
implemented?
Roseen: Te progress for the
academic white paper and the
administration and staf are on
board to going through the steps
to implement these changes.
However, we do not have a spe-
cifc date just yet. SGA continues
to provide the student perspective
that can be lost in administrative
meetings. We work as partners
with the administration who very
receptive to concerns. Te earliest
changes will be made in the next
couple of semesters.
Te drop deadline and tweak-
ing the dead week and fnals week
layout were very well received.
Having a wrap around fnals
would give students a few days
and another weekend to study for
fnals or just to relieve stress be-
fore taking exams.

Only a few short years ago, the
idea of a human thief teaming up
with a green-skinned assassin, a
bad-tempered alien warrior with
a murderous agenda, a walking
tree with a small vocabulary and
a talking raccoon who also hap-
pens to be a strategic genius to
take down a villainous blue ter-
roristin spacewould not only
be considered as preposterous as
this sentences structure, but also
laughably unft for the big Hol-
lywood screen. But todays world
is one of epic cinematic possibil-
ity, allowing flms like Guardians
of the Galaxy to light up screens
around the world with dazzling
visual efects and make millions
along the way. Released on Aug.
1, the latest entry into Marvel
Studios cinematic superhero
world introduces audiences to an
entirely new cast of otherworldly

Oh, and did I mention theres
practice space for student bands?
Technique: So this is the frst
ever Couchella Music & Arts Fest.
How long have you been prepar-
ing for this, and where did the
idea originate?
McGrath: Yep! Saturday is
the frst ever Couchella, and the
forecast calls for sunny skies with

Te frst week of school is al-
ways an interesting time for new
comers and longtime Tech veter-
ans alike.
Te student body is full of peo-
ple settling in and getting a grip
on campus life, so as to be pre-
pared for the pummeling of work
that will inevitably come after syl-
labus week.
So, to end syllabus week with a
bang, and kick of the school year
the right way, Musicians Network
has created a special little local
day festival: Couchella (not to
be confused with Coachella, of
course.)
Couchella will be an all day
event this Saturday, August 23rd,
so we decided to get in touch with
the team behind it to understand
a little more about what we can
expect. Te Technique had the
chance to speak with Jared Mc-
Grath, the Minister of Propagan-
da for the Musicians Network,
and he happily flled us in.
Technique: Could you quickly
explain what Under Te Couch is,
especially for all the new students
on campus?
McGrath: Under the Couch
is the student-run, on-campus
music venue, lounge, and record-
ing studio. Its located on the 2nd
foor of the Student Center, next
to the info desk. Its a place where
you can learn to play guitar, start
a band, see a free concert, record
an album (!), learn to be a record-

Couchella brings a festival atmosphere to campus
a chance of awesome. Te idea
originated in early Spring within
Musicians Network (MN), the
student club that runs Under the
Couch. We see a lot of students at-
tending festivals and concerts all
year long. Were also a place where
student musicians form bands,
practice, record and play shows.
We saw an opportunity to marry
the two together. We wanted to
as a bandit amongst intergalac-
tic alien mercenaries. After he
inadvertently steals a potentially
world-ending artifact, Quill fnds
himself in the middle of a confict
between Ronan (Lee Pace, the
Hobbit trilogy), a powerful mani-
ac intent on global genocide, and
the peaceful citizens of the galaxy.
After a series of events lands him
in prison, Quill teams up with the
mysterious Gamora (Zoe Saldana,
Star Trek), a skilled fghter with
connections to the enemy, and
Drax (Dave Batista, Riddick), a
violent and muscled alien with a
personal vendetta against Ronan.
Also joining them are Groot, a gi-
ant, walking, tree-like alien with
a peaceful demeanor, and his
bounty hunter partner Rocket, a
raccoon who has been genetically
manipulated to talk like a human

Couchella was born!
Technique: How many people
were involved in organizing the
event?
McGrath: Tere are about
a dozen of us that are highly in-
volved, and then another handful
of helpers and volunteers.
Technique: Since this is a free
event, did Under the Couch fund
it fully, or were there any other
parties that donated?
McGrath: Tats right. 100%
free, even for your grandma and
your dog. Te event is completed
funded by Under the Couch.
We approached some folks
about helping, but ultimately, we
carried on alone. Next year, wed
love some more help from any and
all corners of campus.
We hope to grow Couchella
into an annual back-to-school
festival that the whole campus
celebrates.
Technique: Given that
Coachella is a mixed genre fes-
tival, would you consider bring

McGrath: Absolutely! Te
EDM Collective will actually be
on hand this year, and weve got
a hip-hop beat box troupe called
BuzzBeats thats performing, too.
Were open to any and all forms
of music, so youll hear sounds
from punk to folk to country to
pop. Teres even a tribute to Wee-
zers Blue Album, which, like Un-
der the Couch, turns 20 this year.
Tere are a handful of student
bands playing, including the Mer-
ry Go Rounds, a 10 person twee
pop and that will be fresh of its
frst summer tour up to New York.
Weve also got Atlanta locals
Noel Stephens and the Darling,
who do really fun 60s pop music.
One of our headliners is Little

Taiwanese cuisine brings new favor to Midtown
!"#$$ &'()* "#+,-

$&"&1&$* 3#$$#40 -&")$,
Te Midtown Atlanta area has
always has a shortage of tradi-
tional Asian cuisine. For smaller
countries like Taiwan, restau-
rants solely featuring their fare
have been non-existent inside the
Perimeter, so when Ah-Mas Tai-
wanese Kitchen popped up this
summer, our staf decided to give
it a go.
JOE: I got the Lu Rou Fan. As
a newcomer to Taiwanese cuisine
and a picky eater in general, I was
pleasantly surprised by the relative
simplicity of the dish. Te dish
consists mainly of a small bowl
of braised pork on top of white
rice, covered with a thin layer of
cilantro and pickled radish and
with a hard-boiled egg cooked in
soy sauce on the side. On its own,
the radish was a bit too sweet for
my liking, but I found that it did
infuse the rice and meat with an
almost sugary quality. Te cilan-
tro provided an added zing when
!"#$%&!%'$#
Ah-Mas Taiwanese
Kitchen
LOCATION: Midtown
CUISINE: Taiwanese
COST: $
HOURS: 11-3pm, 5-10pm
OUR TAKE:
it mixed with the surrounding
favors, and the egg created a solid
base when added to the meal, or
provided a nice palate cleanser
when consumed afterwards.
Overall, the meal was worth the
money. I kind of wish there was
Wi-Fi in the restaurant though.
ARVIND: Being a vegetarian,
I did not have many options when
I saw the menu, but I settled on
the veggie bao. I am, by no stretch
of the phrase, a connoisseur of
Taiwanese food. I did not rec-
ognize or attempt to pronounce
a signifcant number of items on
the menu. Terefore, I did not re-
ally have high expectations when
I ordered the veggie baothis
was lucky. Te dish was not too
impressive or memorable. It was
certainly heavier on the bao than
on the veggie, but it proved to be a
convenient snack.
I would describe my frst bite as
vibrantly favorful, but to be hon-
est, I do not remember the taste at
all. I simply drowned my hunger
in this confusingly-sized morsel
of food and was mildly satisfed.
Eating the veggie bao at Ah-Mas
Taiwanese Kitchen is comparable
to watching an episode of Hells
Kitchen; its massively entertain-
ing when you have nothing else
to focus on, you cannot really re-
member it ten minutes after you
have fnished with it. Also, there
are not really enough vegetables in
it for the thing to be practical.
KENNY: I had the shrimp and
pork belly baos. Te shrimp bao
was excellentwell seasoned with
!"# %##& '(()*# +(,- )#-./0#) 1%(2# .+ ('# (& 31'4 1,0"#'0./
!1.51'#+# ).+"#+ ('# /1' #'6(4 5".*# ).'.'7 10 8"9:1;+<

a great sauce. Te pork belly bao
was not quite as good, but it was
a heavier lift as I am not partial to
pork belly. Together they made a
good meal, although perhaps not
if you are hungry.
I had originally wanted to
try the beef noodle soup, which
sounded delicious. However, I
was told that they had run out of
it by the time we got around to or-
dering. Tat being said, both my
baos came out from the kitchen
very quickly.
BRENDA: As the lone person
of Taiwanese heritage in the group
and the only one with previous ex-
perience with Taiwanese cuisine, I
thought the food was very true to
the name of the restaurant, Ah-
Mas Kitchen.
Ah-Ma, meaning grandma in
Taiwanese, in combination with
the word kitchen, invokes memo-
ries of yummy comfort food that
my grandmas make for me when-
ever I return to Taiwan for a visit.
Te food the restaurant serves
consists of simple, traditional
dishes, just as Grandmas would
make, such as Braised Oxtail and
Sticky Rice. Although I had quite
a hard time deciding what I want-
ed to order, as I wanted to try it
all, I did fnd myself wishing there
was more variety on the menu to
include other favorites like Stinky
Tofu or Ba Wan. I ultimately set-
tled on Lu Rou Fan with a starter
of Salt & Pepper Chicken.
My order of Salt & Pepper
Chicken was served surprisingly
fast and had a very well balanced
seasoning of basil and fve-spice
powder. Te Lu Rou Fan was sim-
ilarly favorful and was probably
one of the better ones I have had
in the U.S. in quite some time,
even better than my mothers!
Both serving portions were pretty
reasonable for the price, but the
latter dish could probably be just
tiny more generous.
My biggest qualm with Ah-
Mas was that time between when
the starters and the main dishes
were served. I had the Salt & Pep-
per Chicken to snack on before
my Lu Rou Fan, but I felt the
hungry eyes of some of the others
as they waited quite a long time
before they received their food.
THE VERDICT: Ah-Mas Tai-
wanese Kitchen is a wonderful
new gem available here in Mid-
town for those either missing the
foods of their youth or taste bud
adventurers looking for a new,
authentic taste beyond the usual
Chinese or Japanese fare.
Although the server was very
friendly and quick to refll our
water glasses, the kitchen can do
with moving just a bit faster to get
out food as well as perhaps better
gauge the quantity of food they
need to satisfy all their customers
for the day.
Once these issues are fxed, we
are sure Ah-mas will be a hot spot
here in Atlanta.

Cooper, Te Hangover, respective-
ly). Together, this band of unlikely
companions must move past their
own diferences, both in species
and personality, in order to de-
feat the genocidal threat of Ronan
and earn their place as the titular
guardians of the galaxy.
At its heart, Guardians is un-
doubtedly Marvels most kid-
friendly spectacle, complete
with talking animals, shining
spaceship battles and the best
soundtrack on a Hollywood flm
since Space Jams dropped the beat
on the world in 1996. Addition-
ally, the visuals are, in a word,
impressive; every scene in the
flm seems to contain the entire
spectrum of visible color, with-
out threatening to overwhelm the
viewer with an explosion of blind-
ing highlights. Guardians source
material stems from the seemingly
boundless world of comics, and
the flms creators take full advan-
tage of this lack of reality-imposed
boundaries; the flms outer space
landscape varies between the vi-
sual mastery of Gravity and the
almost cheesy otherworld-ness of
Tor, and constantly tops itself in
terms of ingenuity and just plain
wackiness.
However, despite its high-
quality visual efects, the flm
could not have become the criti-
cal and fnancial success that it
is without the chemistry evident
among its cast members, both
leading and supporting. Although
Pratt has been known mostly for
his supporting roles in the past,
the actors introduction into the
center of the blockbuster spotlight
is a successful one. In a nutshell,
Pratts Quill is Iron Man without
the destructive health problems: a
natural born leader and woman-

ages) and Benicio del Toro (Trafc)
are counted among the flms sup-
porting lineup, resulting an array
of performances, both dramatic
and comedic, that manages to do
the impossible in overshadowing
the flms stunning visuals.
Overall, Guardians has pro-
vided the Marvel Cinematic Uni-
verse with a brighter, funnier and
slightly more innocent facade,
made even more prominent in
the wake of more brooding flms
like Captain America: Te Winter
Solder and Tor: Te Dark World.
Tis contrast between the light-
hearted and the ominous poses
some interesting questions for
the future of the superhero fran-
chise. Although Guardians did
not contain direct connections
to any of the other Marvel flms
aside from a few supporting char-
acters and locations, the flm itself
takes place within the same cin-
ematic world as 2012s Te Aveng-
ers, meaning that audiences may
soon be paying to see Quill and
the gang team up with Iron Man,
the Hulk and the rest of Earths
mightiest heroes.
Beginning with Avengers: Age
of Ultron in May 2015, Marvel
seems to be entering a brave new
world of superhero cinema, one in
which entire galaxies may come
head to head and the characters
that audiences have come to love
will get to interact in ways only
seen in the comics themselves
until now. Already, Marvel has
granted Guardians a sequel, along
with a third installment in the
Captain America franchise and a
debut flm for Ant-Man, a popu-
lar comic book star who has yet
to be seen in any flm installment
to date. It remains to be seen if
these bold new steps into previ-
ously uncharted superhero territo-
ry may prove to be too confusing
or implausible to Marvels loyal
fan base, but as it stands, with
Guardians of the Galaxy currently
dominating the global cinematic
scene, the studio has never been
stronger.
izer who can crack a joke as easily
as he can pilot his ship through
an oncoming barrage of galac-
tic enemies. In accordance with
the more lighthearted tone of
the flm, Pratt shines the bright-
est during his more comedic mo-
ments, of which there are many.
At his side, Saldana and Batista do
the same, albeit in a more reserved
sense, while Diesel and Cooper
need only their voices to make
the pairing of Groot and Rocket
one of the more memorable and
hilarious in recent history. And
thats just the main cast. Veteran

which didnt last long as the sold-
out block party transformed into a
full on mosh pit after 7pm. It felt
like they were for the image, and
not the music, which brought the
fun down a bit.
Since Mad Decent isnt really
known as a rave label, kandi kids
werent out in the same numbers
as hipsters, but they did lighten
the mood with their colorful beads
and childlike attitudes. Despite
Mad Decent Block Party landing
on the hottest day of the summer,
Kandi Kids rolled in with their
arms covered in kandi or those
colorful beaded bracelets, cufs,
masks, legwarmers, bras, etc.
Falling under the principles of:
Peace, Love, Unity and Respect
(PLUR), Mad Decent Block Party
was just a cheap place to recon-
vene and trade kandi. With the
happy go-lucky attitude, they did
liven the mood and help newbies
feel comfortable. An unfortunate
side note: Mad Decents show in
Boston resulted in several deaths,
and the brand attributed it to
several attendees hiding drugs in
their cufs and bracelets, so theyve
since banned this rave gear.
Pseudo-ravers attended though,
without the bead costumes. A step
down from the Kandi Kids; spot-
ted in neon, big Impact lettered
shirts that read RAVE CITY or
LETS GET WEIRD, the rav-
ers focked to the Masquerade in
the name of Taco Bell king, Dil-
lon Francis. Endowed with amaz-
ing fst-bumps and resilient livers,
these people know how to have
fun.
However, the DJ couldve just
pressed play and they wouldnt
have known the diference. EDM
purists on the other hand would
not have been so happy if the DJ
just stood there dancing behind
the decks.
EDM purists are those whove
been following dance music for
a substantially longer time than
the rest of the attendees and were
either welcoming and wanted
to teach, or were a bit snoody.
Teyve been following MDBP
from the beginning and are more
there to see Diplos work in action.
Critiquing every set and every
transition, EDM purists dont
have to prove themselves through
apparel; they know they stand on
a higher ground that nobody else
cares about.
If you wanted to inquire about
who was coming on next, why the
sound wasnt loud enough, or why
it was called Mad Decent, you
asked the only average looking hu-
man beings there.
Finally you had the kids. Yes
this all ages event brought out the
weirdest people around, from ages
14 and up and it created a vibe un-
like any other. For those who were
older this was a bit startling and
arguably a side sight.
Tose who had little faith in
the generations behind us, lost
even more. During the transition
from DJ Snake into Rif Raf, a
little part of MDBP turned into
your parents worst nightmare.
Closely resembling the inner
workings of Miley Cyrus right
brain, this phase of the block party
separated the crowd from people
you swear youve never seen before
from pretty much everyone else.
From metallic body suits, combat
boots, and chokers to marijuana
patterned knee-high socks.
All in all, Mad Decents At-
lanta block party was a good show
(with emphasis on the show.) If
you managed to stay close enough
to the speakers but far enough
from the frehouse security guards
blasted everywhere, you mightve
actually enjoyed yourselfsober
or not. Te artists were solid and
the music was great; however, the
variety of ages and types of people
made for a potluck experience.

star producer Tomas Pentz, bet-
ter known to the world as Diplo,
created these Mad Decent Block
Parties as a tribute to block par-
ties in the labels hometown,
Philly. Te idea is that people of
diferent types of people who went
to Atlantas Mad Decent Block
Party.
Perhaps it was the location
(Te Masquerade) or perhaps it
was simply the music, but hip-
sters attended en masse. Debuting
what they just bought of the sale
rack at Urban Outftters, the girls
faunted their fower crowns while
the guys rocked vintage snapbacks
and club masters as if Coachella
had come to Atlanta.
Tey more than likely only
bought tickets to see Flume, the
Aussie sensation making waves
on his North American tour. Af-
terwards they rested in the shade
and waited it out for Zeds Dead,
all ages can come together as a
community and party to some of
the most current music around,
and all at a decent price.
Te second of twenty stops
was in Atlanta on July 22nd, and
featured: Action Bronson, Cur-
tis Williams, Dillon Francis, DJ
Snake, Flosstradamus, Flume,
Rif Raf, What So Not and Zeds
Dead. Since this event was all ages
though, and most EDM events
are restricted to those of the legal
drinking age, the vibe of the event
was completely diferent.
Consequently, this review will
not review the artists of the per-
formances but the types of people
who attended. So, here are the fve

30 August 22, 2014 technique // SPORTS
Te Cardinals lost quarterback
Teddy Bridgewater, but former
coach Charlie Strong has left
plenty of talent for the new coach-
ing staf.
4. Boston College: One of the
surprises of the ACC last season
was Boston College with their im-
pressive running game.
Former running back Andre
Williams has moved on to the
NFL, but the talent in the pro-
gram should be great enough for
them to make a bowl once again.
5. Syracuse: Te Orange had
a rough go in some of their ACC
games as frst time members: Tech
beat them 56-0 and Florida State
and Clemson also won by very
large margins. Still, the Orange
made a bowl game last year but
will have their work cut out for
them to make it again.
6. NC State: Te Wolf Pack
struggled mightily on ofense last
year and didnt win a game in
ACC play.
New quarterback Jacoby Bris-
sett will be eligible this year af-
ter transferring from Florida and
should run their ofense more ef-
fectively than last years quarter-
backs.
7. Wake Forest: Jim Grobe re-
signed as coach last season, and an
entire new staf was brought in to
rebuild. It should be a rough frst
season, and it will be surprising if
Wake wins an ACC game.
Coastal Division:
1. Duke: Te Blue Devils
shocked the nation last year as
they won a program-high ten
games, and they are the favorites
by most to repeat as coastal divi-
sion champions. Quarterback An-
thony Boone will look to improve
on his 427 yard performance from
the Chik-fl-A Bowl.
2. Miami: Miami fans have
been waiting for what seems like
forever to return to their national
prominence, but it will not be this
year.
3. North Carolina: Te Tar
Heels ended the season on a high
note and will once again have
plenty of talent in the program,
but dont expect that to lead to
more wins as UNC frequently
has underachieved in the past.
4. Georgia Tech: Te Jackets
could fnish between frst and
sixth place in the coastal division,
and much of their season depends
on the health of ofensive line and
new quarterback Justin Tomas
ability to run Paul Johnsons triple
option ofense.
5. Virginia Tech: Logan
Tomas is no longer quarterback
which will thrill Jacket fans as he
always found a way to play his best
against Tech. Te defense will
once again be strong as there is a
Fuller in the secondary.
6. Pittsburgh: Te Panthers
had a good frst season last year,
but many key players have gradu-
ated. Teir power-running game
with James Conner will be their
biggest strength.
7. Virginia: Head coach Frank
London is fghting for his job this
year.
After going winless last season,
the pressure is on for Virginia to
have a big season. If results arent
produced, the Cavaliers will prob-
ably be looking for another coach
for next season.

Te Jackets volleyball team
will start their 2014 campaign on
August 29 at the Gamecock Invi-
tational in Charleston, South Car-
olina, and are looking to rebound
from a disappointing 2013 season.
Last years team was young and
inexperienced, with six freshman
coming in to replace graduat-
ing players, and it showed in the
teams 12-20 season.
Tose six players are all re-
turning to this years roster as ex-
perienced sophomores, along with
four new freshman recruits and a
brand new coaching staf, and the
Jackets look to fnd success once
again.
Tech will have veteran options
for the starting setter spot, as ju-
nior Callie Bivings and sopho-
more Rebecca Martin are both
returning to the setter position
and taking over for the depart-
ing starter and co-captain Kaleigh
Colson.
Martin is coming of a success-
ful freshman season in which she
led the team with 410 assists and
notched her frst double-double
against St. Johns. Bivings also
had a strong season, which saw her
get her frst career start, and was
third on the team with 307 assists.
Redshirt 4th year Ashtaan
Horton and 2nd years Annika
Van Gunst and Lauren Pitz return
as middle blockers for Tech, with
freshman Sydney Wilson as the
new addition.
Te Jackets have some big
spots to fll due to the transfer of
sophomore Chanell Clark-Bibbs
and the departure of senior Quinn
Evans, who were second and third
in kills, respectively. Annika Van
Gunst will be expected to make
some big strides this season. She
comes in with 121 kills in her
freshman year, good for second
amongst returning players.
Senior Courtney Felinski and
2nd year Teegan Van Gunst will
return as hitters for Tech, but the
loss of departing senior Jennifer
Percy is a big one.
Percy was Techs deadliest
player last season, leading the
team by a signifcant margin with
373 kills and a 3.19 kills per set
rate. Te Jackets have also added
freshmen Gabriela Stavnetchei
and Ashley Akin.
Felinski will have to continue
to be efective in her senior sea-
son in order for Tech to fll that
role. She leads all returning play-
ers with 156 kills from last season
and had the second highest kills
per set rate at 2.03. Teegan Van
Gunst played in nearly every set
last season and will look to im-
prove upon her 83 kills.
Techs defense sees the return
of 3rd year Wimberly Wilson and
2nd year London Ackermann,
while freshman Annika Olsen is
the newcomer to fll out the spot
left by departing junior Zoey
Morton. Ackermann saw a lot of
playing time as a freshman and
will look to improve in her sopho-
more year. Wilson, who shared
time with Morton last season,
may be relied on more while Ol-
sen adapts to the college game.
Techs 2014 roster features the
loss of some key players, but also
retains a lot of the younger talent
from last year.
However, the major change to
Techs volleyball program comes
in the form of its coaching staf.
Coach Michelle Collier was hired
in March to replace the outgoing
Tonya Johnson. Collier comes in
as the 2013 Atlantic Sun Confer-
ence Coach of the Year.
She led the Jacksonville Uni-
versity Dolphins to a 30-4 record
and an NCAA Tournament ap-
pearance.
Collier hopes to bring the Tech
volleyball program back to the
success its had in the past but cau-
tions that the strength of the ACC
may prevent that from happening
immediately.
Te goal is typically by my
fourth year that we are getting to
where we need to be. Te frst year
is going to be hard. Its going to
have to be an evaluating year to
just fgure out whats important
for us and what I think is going to
help us get there the fastest, said
Collier.
Assistant coaches Marcela
Oliveira and Taylor McColskey
will join Colliers staf as well.
Fans will get their frst chance
to see the team at home on Sep-
tember 19, when the Jackets will
play Georgia in a Gold Out at the
Georgia Tech Invitational.

passes from Peyton Manning, so
look for him to have another big
year.
Stephen Hill and Kevin Cone
round out the receiving corps.
Running back Jonathan Gardner
has a new home in Arizona af-
ter spending four years with the
Pittsburgh Steelers. He will be
providing depth to the Cardinals
backfeld and may see most of his
action in short yardage and third
down situations.
On the defensive side of the
ball, fve-year veteran Morgan
Burnett will be the starting strong
safety for the Green Bay Packers.
He is respected in the organiza-
tion, having been named team
captain for the postseason this
past January. Te team was ninth
in the league in passing defense
last year, with Burnett contrib-
uting on 96 tackles (16th in the
league among defensive backs)
and recovering three fumbles, re-
turning one for a touchdown.
Safety Dawan Landry is enter-
ing his second year with the New
York Jets and ninth overall in the
league. He can be pretty disrup-
tive in the running game and is
best suited to play under head
coach Rex Ryans zone schemes.
His experience in the league may
also serve to beneft to the team,
which has a relatively young de-
fensive core.
Defensive end Michael John-
son will be on the minds of oppos-
ing quarterbacks down in Tampa
Bay. He had a career-high 11.5
sacks back in 2012 for Cincinnati,
good for sixth in the league, but
has never had more than six in
any other season. He will be play-
ing under head coach Lovie Smith
in a Tampa 2 scheme, so he will
need to be quick of the line and
generate pressure for the defense
to be efective.
Five-year veteran defensive end
Derrick Morgan of the Tennessee
Titans will be undertaking a chal-
lenging assignment as he will be
seeing a lot of time at outside line-
backer in addition to his regular
role. He has not played in cover-
age since he was with the Jackets,
but is embracing the challenge
with a positive mindset.
Veteran linebackers Daryl
Smith and Philip Wheeler will
both contribute many tackles for
their respective teams, the Bal-
timore Ravens and Miami Dol-
phins, as each player had about
120 stops last year.
As for the rookies, six Tech de-
fenders from last year made it to
the big show, at least for the pre-
season. Linebacker Jeremiah Atta-
ochu, Techs all-time sacks leader,
was drafted in the second round
by the San Diego Chargers and
should make the fnal roster cut.
He will be fghting for the oppor-
tunity to play alongside a strong
interior linebacking corps that
includes defensive team captain
Donald Butler and Manti Teo, so
he will have plenty of learning op-
portunities in the preseason and
during practice.
Defensive back Jemea Tomas
and linebacker Brandon Watts
were also drafted by the New
England Patriots and Minnesota
Vikings, respectively, and are
working hard during camp to se-
cure a roster spot. Tomas is cur-
rently buried within the Patriots
depth chart and may line up at
both cornerback and safety dur-
ing the season. Head coach Bill
Belichick typically tries out his
younger players in a few diferent
positions in order to determine
what best suits both the player
and team, so Tomas will have
several opportunities to showcase
his talents.
Defensive linemen Euclid
Cummings and Emmanuel
Dieke, as well as cornerback Louis
Young were signed as free agents
after the draft and are also seeing
a lot of action this preseason as
they try to make the cut. Cum-
mings has notched four tackles
for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
so far this preseason, while Dieke
and Young have each contributed
one to their teams. Te frst round
of roster cuts will occur on August
26, when the teams will reduce
their rosters to 75 players, fol-
lowed by a reduction to 53 players
on August 30 for the start of the
season. If they do not make the
team, they will hope to sign on a
practice squad with on of the team
in the NFL.

On July 29, Jaylend Ratlife
was riding ATVs with some of his
teammates when he had a serious
ATV crash and had to be airlifted
to the hospital. Just 5 days be-
fore the crash, Ratlife was visit-
ing Tech, and had made it public
knowledge that he planned to
enroll early at Tech for the 2015
spring semester. Once at the hos-
pital, Ratlife was diagnosed with
a fractured skull and was in criti-
cal condition. At frst, Ratlife
was responsive to commands and
could move his limbs; unfortu-
nately, the swelling around his
brain caused him a lot of pain.
On July 31, Ratlife went
through a procedure to relieve the
pressure on his brain which was
successful.
However, later in the day he
was put into a medically induced
coma, and surgery was performed
to remove a piece of his skull. Af-
ter surgery he was able to respond
to family members but was still in
critical condition.
Ratlife played his high school
football in North Carolina at Scot-
land County High School. He led
his team to the 4-A state cham-
pionship game where they lost to
Jack Britt High School. Scotland
County fnished their season 15-1,
and expectations were high for the
team this season.
Te team has still been practic-
ing in preparation for the season,
but practice is not the same with-
out their leader.
On August 3, Richard Bailey,
Ratlifes head coach at Scotland
County, announced that Tech
will honor Ratlifes scholarship at
Georgia Tech regardless of wheth-
er or not he is able to play football.
He will be given a full schol-
arship during his time at Tech
which will be listed as a medical
hardship scholarship if he is not
able to play. Te most important
thing for Ratlife is that he is able
to get healthy once again, and, if
football is no longer an option,
that he is able to succeed academi-
cally while at Georgia Tech.
Due to Ratlifes medical
bills, many community members
started fundraisers for him. Many
donations came in from George
P. Burdell, and over $8,000 was
raised online. Another $10,000
was raised from selling t-shirts
that had Ratlifes #2 and Strong
printed on them.
As of August 16, Ratlife has
been moved out of the intensive
care unit and has started minor
rehab in the pediatric wing of the
hospital. His coach visited before
a scrimmage against Mallard
Creek and said that he is doing
well, but his recovery would be
slow and steady.
At the time, Ratlife hadnt
passed a swallow test and was still
using a feeding tube, but he was
of the ventilator and able to speak
some words.
On August 21 Cam Newton,
quarterback of the Carolina Pan-
thers, visited him in the hospital.
Newton is one of Ratlifes favor-
ite NFL players, and he was very
happy to see him. Ratlife is now
able to walk and move his arms
more; however, he is still unable
to swallow and has lost a consid-
erable amount of weight.
His coach and family are hop-
ing he is out of the hospital by
end of September, but he still has
to undergo another brain surgery
to put pieces of his skull back in
place. Te doctors have not told
him whether or not he will be able
to play football again, but hope-
fully Ratlife will one day be able
to suit up on the football feld
and continue to try and make his
dreams come true.

Te 2014 ACC football season
is right around the corner, and for
the frst time in over a decade and
a half, the reigning Heisman tro-
phy winner and national champi-
ons will be from the ACC. Florida
State will be looking to repeat,
and they are favored to do so ac-
cording to most major polls.
Jameis Winston is looking to
be the frst back-to-back Heisman
Trophy winner since Archie Grif-
fn in the 1980s. Winston will be
under far more pressure this year
as some of his favorite targets left
for the NFL.
Tis season also marks the re-
turn of Miamis Duke Johnson.
Johnson missed the end of last
season after sufering a season-
ending injury. Johnson is one of
the best football players in Ameri-
ca, and Miami will go as far as he
carries them.
Duke wide receiver Jamison
Crowder looks to break several
ACC records this season includ-
ing career receptions and passing
yards. Crowder played a key role
in Dukes ACC coastal division-
winning season. Even though he
is only 5 foot 9, he is one of the
toughest and fastest players in the
country.
Crowder will be the staple of
the Duke ofense, and if they want
to repeat last year, Crowder must
have another 1000-yard season.
Te Technique predicted its
preseason All-ACC team, and
leading the way with nine players
was Florida State. Duke had four,
and Adam Gotsis was the only
Tech player to be named.
Te Technique preseason play-
er of the year is Duke Johnson,
and Vic Beasley is the preseason
defensive player of the year. Jimbo
Fisher has the nod in winning
ACC coach of the year.
Florida State is the heavy fa-
vorite to win the Atlantic division,
but the Coastal division is wide
open.
Atlantic Division:
1. Florida State: Even though
FSU lost many key players to the
NFL, they still have the best of-
fensive line in college football and
plenty of proven talent on ofense
to win the ACC. However, FSU
will have their hands full in the
new College Football Playof.
2. Clemson: Te Tigers lost
their 3 best ofensive players this
past season, but head coach Dabo
Swinney has enough talent on the
team for them to have another
ten-win season. Vic Beasley an-
chors their defense and will most
likely lead the ACC in sacks.
3. Louisville: Tis is Louis-
villes frst year in the ACC, and
former head coach Bobby Petrino
returns to Louisville after failed
job attempts with the Atlanta Fal-
cons and Arkansas Razorbacks.
