TECHNICIAN’S LOG 1990 Volume 42 1991 Southern College of Technology 100 South Marietta Parkway Marietta, Georgia 30060A Decade of Tradition everal years ago the Log staff, under Editor Timothy Barker, looked at the traditions on the Southern Tech cam- pus. They paid attention to who conceptual- ized the two-year term, where the students and staff came from and how we had gotten where we are now. Their book was known as “Build- ing Our Own Tradition.” The 1990-1991 Log was known as “A Decade of Tradition.” Es tot, Jennifer Bige of the 90-91 publication, also Wanted to take a similar historical look at Southern Tech going from its beginning in 1948 to the year ofthis publication, 1992. The Log has been the publication in which time hhas been marked since its first year in 1959. The Log has seen many faces come and go and hhas been there along the way to record memo- ries. Much of the information used in this historically geared book has been pulled from archive yearbooks. On January 2, 1948, five faculty and staff members formed offices at the Naval Air Sta- tion in Chamblee, Georgia. Southern Tech was born out of empty barracks, These bar- library facilities, and racks were classrooms, administeation offices. “These barracks served as all of che above and more, There was no student center or student life as it was known in the present day. ‘Seudents were probably still lingering over re- minders of war. They were affected by their sense of a personal loss, grief, and also pride from the Allied victory. The Depression prob- ably weighed heavily on their minds as they yearned for something better and a way to get ahead. The first ditector of the Southern Techni- cal Institute was LV, Johnson. He was the man behind the idea of offering a two year technical background to those who were eager for this knowledge. Ten years later the enroll- ‘ment was so large that the school had to begin asearch for a new campus. The new site decid- ed upon consisted of the 188 acres which com. prised the present campus in Marietta On December 17, 1958, a ground breaking ceremony was held for the construction of the 2 DECADE OF TRADITION new campus. By 1961, most of the construc tion was completed and in the 1962 the cam- pus was officially moved to Marietta. Finally, in 1964 dormitory was added followed by the construction of the Gymnasium. Senior status was bestowed by the University of Georgia system upon Southern Technical Institute in 1970. With the ever growing student population, the need arose for a place for students to just lay back and relax. In order to Fulfil this need a Student Center complex was added to the ‘campus in 1976. In 1980, Southern Tech tooka big leap towards independence. It spread its wings and flew out of the nest of parent Georgia Institute of Technology. Nineteen eighty-four brought a new library addition to completion. This year also started the con- struction of a new dasseoom building. This new building was completed in 1986, Nineteen eighty-six brought a new seal and name. The Si Southern College of Technology. Nineteen, cighty-eight saw th center addition. The addition was listed on the top of priorities according to the Board of Regents, but was put on hold due to the State of Georgia's budget crunch. Finally in r991 Southern Tech received the recognition it so geeatly deserved. The USS. News and World Report listed them as the foremost up and coming engineering college. ‘This year marked the tenth anniversary of thei Declaration of Independence from Geor- 8 mark for their status as a senior institution jouthern Technical Institute became the approval of the student stitute of Technology, and a twenty year This was also the year that three new majors were offered. Southern Tech got approval for a fiveyear Bachelor of Architecture, and Bachelors in Mathematics and Physics along with a Masters degree in Technology and Science Management. What the fucure held, no one could guess, but at the rare the institue tion was moving, it could have been no where but up, DECADE OF TRADITION 3Continuing the TraditionDecades of STUDENT LIFENew Traditions in 5 ee o i hhé, 90-91 yeah Saw, the. comnitig: of I Several International students as well 4s. deh exchange, students.” The. ex change suideiis weet pact of anew progrant beweentthe Comparer, Science Departments of Leightster Polyteehinieal Institute.

How- ever, its services have been taken for granted, considering the amount of time that went into the development of the program. A decade ago. the Co-op Pro- gram was nearly non-existent. It consisted of less than a dozen stu- dents, and was being run infor- mally out of the Placement Of- fice. It was part of that office until the fall quarter of 1980, During that quarter, it was given the breath of life and was formed into its own independent office. Regi- na Doyle, the program’s current Director, has been involved with the program since its inception as an independent office. She draft- ed the initial operational proce~ dures. Since its inception, she has been the sole Director of the Co- op program, and for that matter, its only professional staff mem= ber. Under her direction South- ern Tech’s Co-op program has be- come the second largest program in Georgia, topped only by Geor- gia Tech's, Take for example student Mark Kubicek. He worked for IBM as a Marketing Support Re- presentative. His line of work re~ quired him to master over 1000 TBM related products. He was specialized in certain printers of which are the LaserWriter, Quiet Writer and WheelWriter, 10 CO-OP/EMPLOYMENT not to mention a variety of soft- ware, As far as job security, Mark felt assured that after graduation he would have several solid job offers, based on his work exper- ience. Another Co-op student, Robert Gunning, commented, “Its the best way to go through school.” Gunning further pointed out that a number of LET’s who had graduated without Co-oping found it difficult to obtain em- ployment due to the lack of job experience, Both students pointed out that co-oping would extend their stay in school, but they con sidered the value of job exper- ience outweighing this negative point, Each year, over 450 South- ern Tech students get valuablejob experience from the 150 com- panies involved in the Co-opera- ive education program But what of the future? . . . The plans for expansion include more professional staffing and an en- tirely new division in the program for graduate students. Since both of these ideas are a major under- taking, it may be another decade before these changes are fully im- plemented. led to have completed 24 eredit he jave been a full time student 3.

The Halloween Party, Campus Happy Hour, the Talent Show and other similar functions. Ca- sino Night involved Blackjack, Poker, Roulette and other chance oriented games. Students tried to increase their chip and in the end participated in an auction of prizes such as a TY, stereo, book bag, plates, blankets and other useful items. The Halloween Dance held a cos- tume contest, The winners in 1990 were Shanna Fernandez and Tony Perez. They were given a 20 dollar gift certificate to Cumberland Mall.

AL this event there were hors d’ oeu- vres and mock-tails. This function was held in the evening thus allowing for night students to attend The big show that CAB sponsors each year is the Talent Show. At this show students were encouraged to show their talent whether it was play- ing guitar or on an opposite tangent playing bag pipes. Each year the show has recognized students and has enter- tained all the onlookers Other activities CAB sponsored were the Homecoming Dance, the Beach Party, Breakfast of Champions and the videos which were played in the Student Center. CAB PRESENTS 13A Student Tradition GOAT NIGHT Where the men are men, the women are men and the goats run scared. oat Night has long been an ac- G tty that students have par ticipated in for many years. Rumor has told that origination was from an incident which involved a goat and the administration building. Previous annuals indicate the admin- istration building was referenced as the "Goat Shed.” A rumor told that a student secretly put a goat in the re cords office where said goat ate files. When this information were leaked out, the students reacted by having created this Goat Day celebration. Goat Night had been primarily a Greek activity, but has had other groups participating too. It involved the cross-dressing of men and goats, eating free food, a lip syne-ing con- tests, tug-of-war, and other such competitions. Goat Night was the party students looked forward to and goats dreaded. 14 GOAT NIGHTGOAT NIGHT 15Late nite with a not so typical Southern Tech student, Brad- ford N.

NITE WITH 17Lunch Time Traditions YOU DESERVE A BREAK outhern Tech students spent S their breakfast, lunch, and din- ner at a variety of different places. The place a person may eat or just sit and relax depended largely on ‘what the student was working on or what he had finished working on at the moment. Also, a student’s break habits had a great deal to do with his income. For most students, the time that they stop and eat was their only break during a long and sometimes grueling day, but many students did not even stop for a meal. These students could be seen jogging from a lab to the coke and cracker machines for some sparse nutrition. Of course, there were many students who grabbed a meal in the Student Center and studied as they ate Most students (anywhere) were on a tight budget, and this could effect where they ate out. For Mexican, the 59, 69, 79 cent menu at Taco Bell was okay, but many students choose to go to El Rancharo and had a Speedy with water (to get a taste of real Mexican food). For a hamburger, Krystal was a ‘great place to eat cheap, but one could 18 LETS EATSuY wnopteR 180.GET Cone always find coupons for McDonalds or Wendy's, If a student wanted some “real food’ he or she could have ordered a Shoney Burger and a salad at Shon- ey’s, then have filled up on the salad and took the burger home. These were but a few of many ways a student ate cheap. If a student lived in an apartment nearby to campus or in the dorms, he could have gone to there and grabbed a bite. It was amazing how long a bag of potatoes lasted when you bake one a day in a microwave. Of course the col- lege student on a strict budget may have ended up eating noodles and tuna, meatloaf and peanut butter, or macaroni and cheese without milk. Oh, the life of the poor and hungry. Night time seemed to be the best time for Southern Tech students to re~ lax. Even if it wasn’t a weekend many students liked to go to eating establish- ments where they could get a brew and enjoy the atmosphere. The majority of these people enjoyed relaxing at places like Fat Tuesday’s — and why no Everyone deserves a break sometime.

HOMECOMING 21A Decade of Traditions in Homecoming ver the past ten years South- O ern Tech has played the tradi- tional Home¢oming Basket- ball games and has offered students a Homecoming dance of one sort ot an- other. The traditions of Homecoming were rooted deeply. These traditions seived to mark the rétuén of the Hor- gets basketball team to the home ‘court. Accordingly, the Homecoming Wance served as-a way for students to celebrate the team’s win ora way to jist celebrate: The Homecoming Dance itself had Série and gone through many phases The dances were not always sponsored by the Campus Activities Board. In fact in 1980, the Interfraternity Coun- Gil were the directors of the festivities In this year over that weekend, groups participated in a banner contest, an In- dependence Celebration (for the sepa~ ration from Georgia Tech.) and at~ tended the winter Bathtub Race. The Bathtub Races were changed in tater years to be held in the fall and spring ‘Ore thing that has remained constant way that students drassed vip: for the darices. Homecoming fashions have varied over the past twenty years. “Fashion Was one thing that could not be pre~ dicted from year to year, For example ten years ago the fashion scene was skirts with length just below the knee, hair at collar length for men, and long and feathered for women, The unwrit- ten code of dress for the dance was Sunday dress, but nothing formal. Fashions varied even greater twenty years ago. Women could be found hiay- ing worn short dresses which Game: to the top of their thighs of full length formal gowns. Men wore suits or tux edos which had flared: legs: Hair-was 22 HOMECOMING DANCE worn short on most men, log’ dn oth ers, Women were spoitirig’ the short bouffant hairstyle of the lite’ sixties and the long straight look too, In 1991, as with all other yeats, the styles were basically anything goes. There were hemlines tanging from short to tea length, Clothes ranged from formal to Sunday dress. Hair was being worn just as long of short on men asit was on women, Proving: that although the styles had changed over the yearsSouthern Tech students had always kept up with the changing times The tradition to pick a Homecoming Queen was followed tven farther back than twenty yeurs ago. Phe Queens of the past were not necessarily Southern Tech students: but were also ladies from other nearby colleges and some~ times even wives, of students. Home- ‘coming traditions “at Southern Tech had remained the sme until 1991, In this year the new tradition of having a Homecoming King was begun. What the future for the Homecoming Tradi- tion nobody predicted, but it could be sure that it would only have improved what was in existence already. 1990-1991 Homecoming King Kenneth Slack with Monique Laney 'Gcenter), and the Homecoming Queen: = Althea’ Merrell with her escort: (eft), Mihirice Carlton HOMECOMING DANCE“Technology without humanity is empty, science without introspection barren, and endeavor without compassion fruitless.” — Brassell, 1991. than by the genius Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519).

For the towns enormous population of 22 and a half, the situation for this mu- nicipality was much to be desired. The City of Houbotcha was once a thriving community, a prospering town with its economic growth based on the Lizard Soup Industry. Yes, Houbotcha was the king of the Lizard Soup industry, but as you probably have no- ticed, Lizard Soup isn’t very popular anymore and neither is Houbotcha. ‘So the town got together one night to decide what to do to make Houbotcha a thriving community once again, That night they de- cided to form an organization dedicated to the soul purpose of revitalizing the town. The twenty-person organization met the next week and after much deliberation appointed a special committee to see to it that Houbotcha should thrive once again. The fifteen-per- son committee met the next week and after many hours of discussion created a ten man commission. The commission met the following week and finally decided to delegate responsibility to an ultea-special, five man task force. The task force met the next week and after 19 hours of idea-chasing finally decided to elect a Houbotcha Reorganization Manage. This new manager was George Mor- ‘oni, who was elected while he was on the toilet in his house two miles from the task force. But this shouldn't have been a surprise to him because he was volunteered to be in the organization, nominated to serve on the committee, appointed to the commission, and assigned to the task force all by proxy while cooking supper, visiting a friend in Missouri, becoming heir to the throne of England and sleeping, sespectively. ‘Well, to say the least, George was extremely excited about his new job — so excited in face that it only took him 42 weeks ro get around to actually thinking about the job, And after much thought on the subject of how to save Houbotcha, George finally came to the conclusion that the town needed new industry. So George called together the 22 and one half people of the town for a meeting George Moroni opened the mecting of the town with the disturbing news that Lizard Soup was no longer one of the favorite family foods. After hearing several uproars from the people about the media being the cause of the current dilemma, Georgia asked them what new revolutionary product the rown could manufacture to replace the dwindling profits for the fallen Lizard Soup industry. The people of Houbotcha were silent for at least a minute, then Mr. Bumblefingers stood up and said, “We could make Frog Soup.” As soon as Mr. Bumblefingers sat back down, the rest of the people were exploding with ideas, and for the next two hours George Moroni trad to listen to ideas of making soups extracted from 43 miscellaneous reptiles and amphibians, 2 citizens of Houbotcha, a rare, topi- cal bird found in South America, an extinct dinosaur, and the Mei Army tank. George suddenly burst into flame, and the previously boisterous crowd turned to a hushed group of spectators, Moroni uttered a final gasp of pain and then expired, smoke drifting lazily above his charred flesh. Just kidding. George called the meeting to an end in hopes of finding an idea through some other means of inspiration. George Moroni looked high and low, neat and far, in and out, up and down, left and right, turned over every rock, looked in every corner, tuned over every rock again, and finally checked the silver lining of every cloud, but this brought him no closer to an idea than the meeting with the people of Houbotcha did. George was distraught because he couldn’t invent a product that could be manufactured and thus solving the problem of the recession of Houbotcha, Georgia. In extreme dismay, George wandered high and low, near and far, in and out, up and down, left and right, under every roc, to every corner, under every rock again, and finally to the silver lining of every cloud. Then one day he decided to check the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and there he found inscribed oon a piece of paper the idea which he was to use. If only he had searched the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow after checking the silver lining of every cloud he might not have spent so much time wandering in dismay high and low, near and far, in and out, up and down, left and right, under every rock, to every corner, under every rock again, and to every silver lining of every cloud. George Moroni took the idea back to the town and presented it to the people of the Houbotcha in another special meeting. The idea was for a universal song, This song would solve all the problems of the modern music industry. The song would be put on an end- less loop tape so that there would be no beginning and/or end to it giving it any desired length. The song would be recorded in such a manner that everyone would like it regardless at what volume they were listening to it and it would be mixed with all the would’s known beats over each other so no one could have a favorite part, This universal song would have far reaching effects solving the gen- cexation gaps and the ethnic gaps. Ie would also make the printing of the music charts obsolete because this song would occupy every elig station desired. The: universal song would be the answer to all George asked the citizens of Houboicha whar they thought of U Mureface stood up and asked, “Where are we going to get the money to manufacture the univeesil song?” “J hadn't thought of that,” replied George. “Does anyone have any idea how we ean get some capital to put this business into full swing?” asked George ‘The people were silent for at last ove minute, and then Mr. Bumblefingers stood up and said, “We could sell Frog Soup.” As soon as Mc. Bumblefingers sat back down, the rest of the people were exploding with ideas, and for the next wo houes George Moroni had to listen to ideas of selling soups extracted from 43 miscellaneous reptiles and amphibians, two citizens of Houbwtcha, a rare, topical bied found in South America, an extinet dinosaur, and the M-r Army tank. [t was obvious thac George would not find the solution to his money problem by sling the rope af Houkoch, se led do meringtaan end in bop of Finding asouivethesunh ~ some other means of inspieation. This ime George had a brainstorm, He didn's have to search high and low, near and far, in and out, up and down; left and right, tunder every rock, in every cotner, under every rock again, and on the silver lining of every cloud. This time George cemembered how much of a silly “git” he was when he-got the idea for the universal song. He rushed back to che end of the rainbow where he had foolishly let the pot of gold. When he reruened ro Houbotcha, he put the idea inte full swing. Soon Houborcha greve in population as the idea of the universal song caught on. Before anyone could blink, the town had geaiwn into a city of several thousand people and ev- exyone there was rich. George Motoni had done what he had set out to a6, and it only took eleven years, e Houbotcha turned into a thriving community and hustle and bustle became the current activity of the city. Things were going just great when George was visited by a five-man task force which had its responsibilities delegated tw it hy a tereman commission which had deen created by a fiftecn-man committee which had been appointed by a twenty-man organization which had been formed by the original 22 and one half members of Houborcha, Georgia. The taskforce appointed George Moroni ss Houbotcha Disuniication Manage. It turns out that the sudden change of pace in life for the original 22 and one half citizens of Houbotcha was disturbing and that they wanted their od life back. Well, George didn’t treat this news with extreme excitement as he had when this story first start- ed, To fact, be was downright miffed. Despite the fact thar George Moroni ured down the honor of being Hlouborcha Disusification Manager and told the five:man special task force to go jump in Houbotcha Lake, the 22 and one half original citizens of Houboscha, Georgin, gor theie way: On week » later a lawyer representinig the record companies that were going bankrupé visived George and slapped the universal song wit suit. The lawyer claimed that the mixed in beats in che universal song were copyrighted property of the record companies wl presented. Later that day a lawyer from the United Srates Justice Department visited George and also slapped him wich a: cerning forming a monopoly ia. the industry ‘Well, before George knew i, the town of Houbotcha was back down tothe size of 22 and one half people and din poor once again. ‘Then one day George was visited by a Special five-man task force which had its responibilities delegated to it by'a tere man commission which — you got the idea. The visit ws caused because the 22 and one half original and remaining citizens of Houboecka missed che money they had once had wheh the Universal Song Company was in business: So chey appointed George Morcni, Houbotcha Reorganization Withour-All-That-Hustle-and-Bustle-Buc-With-A I That-Fabulously-Filzhy-Rich-Money Manager. George took on the new job with much excitement. He quickly went to the ead af the rainbow and brought back the piece of paper with the new idea on itand the potof gold. George soon had the Universal Movie Company in Ful swing when one day he was visited by a lawyer from I Tollywood and another lawyer from the United States Justice Department. This time George really did burst into flames ancl utter a final gasp of pain and then expired while smoke drifted lazily above bis charted flesh, Well, George Moroni is now gone, and now the population of Houbotcha, Georgia is 21 and one half people, and thar brings you to the end oF this story.

Another view was not whether the US would go to war, but when they would go. Then there was the fateful day which some predicted. The United States joined with Allied Forces against the aggression of Iraq toward Kuwait. Reality was obvious on January 16, 1991 when President George Bush and Congress declared war on Saddam Hus- sein and his troops. Hussein had invad- ed Kuwait for money, power and con- trol. Op August 2, 1990, Saddam Hus- sein of Iraq moved bis troops into neighboring Kuwait. Once there, they destroyed the people, buildings and land. A day later the United Nations imposed economic sanctions sought to curb the aggression, Not a week into the war, the Allied Coalition formed with members from the United States, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Canada and Egypt. Their purpose was Operation Desert Shield. In late August many Allied Troops were stationed in the Gulf region. Here at home Reserve Units were activated. “They were activated as replacements on USS. bases and also sent into the Gulf region. ‘On November 29, 1990, after no ap- parent change in the invasion situation, the United Nations Security Council set up a 47 day withdrawal limit. This ultimatum of “leave now or else” was 40 WAR IN THE PERSIAN GULF Persian delivered via telecast to Saddam Hus- sein. Barly December 1990, with war im- minent, Saddam Hussein released many hostages. January 16, 1991, was the day the Alllied Air Forces began their assault on the Iraqi’s. Desert Shield now became Desert Storm. Days into the air strike, Hussein hoped to weaken the Allieds and launched Scud missiles onto Israel. The Allieds in return launched Patciot mis- siles which shot the Scuds out of the sky. Israel did not retaliate, but re- mained neutral. Late January, several Prisoners of War which consisted of mostly shot down pilots, were forced to make state- ments against the Allied forces. In their statements they appeared abused and distressed. February 2, 1991, Saddam Hussein ignited Kuwaiti oil fields and spilled Kuwaiti oil tankers and offshore termi- nals into the Persian Gulf, The cepara- tions of this act was the pollucion of the shoreline and the deaths of many aquat- ic plants, animals and fish. February 21, 1991, The Soviet Union tried to intervene and interact with Iraqi diplomats in order for a cease fire to be formed. On February 22, 1991, President Bush, Congress and the Allied Forces gave Hussein and his troops a 24 hour limit to pull out before Allieds would send ground troops. February 23, 1993, Ground war be- gan. In the first two days approximately 20,000 Iraqi troops surrender. Tragedy struck on the 2gth of Feb- ruary. A SCUD missile was launched in to a barrack and kills 24 and injures approximately 100. February 25, Kuwait was declared liberated, February 27, President Bush orders a cease fire. The War was mostly over except for the withdrawal of Iraqi troops and the clean-up of the area. To February 27, Allieds suffered 292 fatalities, nine Prisoners of War, and 27 planes. Iraqi troops suffered approxi- mately 300,000 men being taken out of action, 3008 tanks taken out, and 140 planes shot down. With the action cut to nearly noth- ing, troops were beginning to be sent home. By the middle of March some of the first troops sent to the Gulf were being pulled out and sent home. Hete in the United States the people and especially families ceacted by being at the bases and ports to greet our modern day heros.In the news Ig9O-I 99 I n the local news scene, Mariet- O ta's Lockheed of Georgia in conjunction with Boeing Company (Seattle) and General Dyna- mics (St. Louis), was awarded a $12.1 billion dollar contract with the US De- partment of Defense on Aptil 23, 1991. Under this contrace Lockheed would build sophisticated Stealth-capable fighter planes unlike any commissioned. This plane called the VE-22 (Light- ning 2) will be the successor to the F-z5 Eagle. ‘Teamed up with Lockheed was Pratt and Whitney a division of United Technologies Corporation. Pratt and Whitney won a separate contract to build a superecuiser engine for the Ad- vanced Tactical Fighter (ATF). The Lockheed contract alone promised to add 1,850 jobs to the Marietta plant. Highpoints in Lockheeds history: 1951 ~ Lockheed was working on the C-130, L-r00 Hercules. In 1952, they introduced the C-130 B model and var- ious other updated versions throughout the next few years. The C-xgi Starlifter contract was awarded in 1961. Its pro- duction began and the first of the Star- lifters was delivered in 1965. 1974 — Nixon asks for modifications to be made which would increase the range and cargo capacity. March 1977, the stretched version was introduced. In 1965, Lockheed was awarded the con- tract to produce the C-5A Galaxy. The Galaxy perfected and flown in late 1969. The wings were modified in 1978 and verified in 1980. The present C-5’s were brought back to Lockheed for modifications. Finally the C-5B_con- tract was awarded in Dec. 1982. The last major contract before the Light- ning 2 was the Jetstar. The develop- ment of the Jetstar began in 1956. It 2 IN THE NEWS was part of a Air Force competition for the contract of their utility transports. 1960 — First Air Force order of the Jetstar. 1973 — Jetstar IL proposed. 1975 — production begins. 1978 — Jet- star production cancelled. Lockheeds last conteact was for 50 C-5B’s in 1982. All these accomplishments show that Lockheed of Georgia has a colorful his- tory in the aircraft industry as well as a promising future. n the world scene in 1990 (a ‘Ok version of the news): James ‘Buster’ Douglas was defeated by Evander Holyfield in an 8 minute match held at the Mirage Hotel.

Athletic competition in team and individusl sports has long been a part of college life. SCT has rich heritage of winners in both Intramural and Varsity Sports. Only. administrative secretary Nancy Fairbanks can tell the winners from the losers and once the gym was finaly air-conditioned she didn’t sweat it any more. Karl Staber, High lord of Intramural Sports and Director of Recreational Sports, provided another year of expansion to one’s college exper- ience through competition that emphasizes fun instead of victory. His department organized and oversaw team events which included: flag-foor- ball, indoor and outdoor volleyball, indoor soccer, basketball, bowling, and softball. A ladies softball league played during spring quarter with three teams, but since two of the teams had scheduling conflicts no champion was declared. Individual competition in billiards, and tennis were held during the year. Beyond athletic competition Karl's depart- ment organized an aerobics class and offered camping and back-packing equipment rental. At the end of summer quarter ‘90 he led a three-day backpacking expedition to Cumberland Island, an Ocoee River White Water rafting trip during fall quarter, and a hiking trip through the Geand Canyon during Spring Break ’or. Karl's sixth year as director was topped off by the paternity competition where he and Kadl Je. took the new Father-Son division. 46 A DECADE OF COMPETITIONSPORTS worse A DECADE OF COMPETITION 47INTRAMURAL : TEAM WINNERS: Flag football Wolverines Indoor Soccer KSA Indoor Volleyball Bowling Softball Syndicate Beach Volleyball Losers INDIVIDUAL WINNERS: Tennis Hung Tran Billiards Robert Twilley 48 A DECADE OF COMPETITIONSPORTS Hi PAST TEAM SPORTS CHAMPIONS: FLAG FOOTBALL VOLLEYBALI.

AIAS was dedicated to linking its student constituents to the diverse academic, social and creative opportunities cal in the development of design prafes- sionals. Throu conventions and social gatherings the mem- bers of the AIAS gained valuable knowledge about theit field and made many important contacts for the future. Officers for the 1990- 1991 school year were Kristen Bentz — Pres dent, Nina Manning — Vice president, Mike Davis — secretary, Tina Lewis — treasurer, and faculty advisor — Jim Fausett. The 1990-1991 year brought accreditation to the Bachelor of Acchiveccure,a new dean — Paul Pearson and the official name College of Axchirectuce various lectures, charettes, ‘Over the summer the ATAS participated in Axchifest with the AIA. Several students vol- unteered with Legotecture, a children’s lego charette and Mike Water’s team took first place. The members of the AIAS also won first place in the AIA Sandcastle Competition at Piedmont Park. The AIAS students began the year with a pizza party for all che architecture students and faculty. ‘They held theie 4th and sth Edible Charettes. The object of these charettes was to build an Olympic Stadium out of food. ‘They held their annual pumpkin carving con. test.

The 1991 year was Southern Techs first time offering a concrete canoe class, de- signed to give the civil students a running start towards a victory in the AS Southeast Conference. ‘The Southern Tech chapter of ASCE had a concrete canoe considered the quickest, slipperiest canoe made of “that grey. stuff” to have hit the water. The r9g1 steel bridge class solidified a tradition of ingenuity and hard work, This years bridge was funded by the sale of the 1988 Award-winning bridge to Canton Hills and the generous donations of ‘materials, space and money by Bolt and Nut, ‘Tull Metals, Mechadyne Machining and Au- tocolor. Other competitive ASCE efforts in- cluded “The Rocket Banner”, a mighty con- crete cylinder, eagle-eyed surveyors, and the dangerous by lightweight balsa wood bridge. Scandal rocked the hallowed grounds of the ASCE’s officers cadre in rggr, Roger Wile Tiams’ alleged misconduct at Faiclanes Bowling 6 caused him to drop out of not only the Vice- presidency, but also Southern Tech aleogeth- ex. Iewas rumoted that he now teaches martial arts and basic knitting to the less fortunate Quick to recoup its loss, the ASCE elected Craig Martin, a stalwart conservative, to the post. Remarkably, officers Mark Braswell and Chris Semlee stood their posts throughout the storm and lived to tell. Several speakers ad. dressed the ASCE. Among them were David Lilly, Mike Mahood of Master Builders on high strength conctets, and Jim Fincher on forensic engineering. Victory was the word of the weele during Spring Break at the ASCE Southeast Region- al Conference and Steel Bridge Competition. Continuing the winning streak, Southern Tech thrashed the competition by winning the event in aesthetics, deflection, and overall best categories.

Student members were encouraged to attend the Atlanta ASME meetings held monthly. These meetings allowed students to have contact with professional Mechanical Engincers in the Atlanta area, which were che same people they would encounter in job searches. Besides having strived for the development of Mechanical Engineers, the student ASME also sponsored student design projects. The 64 ASME two projects sponsored in the 1990-91 year were a human powered vehicle (HPV) and a formula race car. The HPV was a bicycle designed to go 60 mph on level ground with aly human power. The project was started in 1987. In the 1990-91 year the HPV group designed and began construction on the sec- ond generation HPV. The other project worked on was the formula race car designed around the rules set by the Society of Auto- motive Engineers, The formula race car geoup designed and built a frame for a car and hoped to race the car in the 1991-92 season. i i i 298 1.

The Circle K charters exist worldwide with clubs in Mexico, Bermuda, and even Alaska. Kiwanis International also sponsots two oth- x organizations with the same goals: The Key Clubs primarily formed in high schools and the Buiklers Club which exist in Junior High. These different organizations make up the K-Family. Circle K was originally started in 1933 when a group of Kiwanians in Pullman, Washington purchased a house. It was planned that this house be rented out ro young men in need of assistance to attend college. This house, known as the “Circle K House,” was similar to a frater- nity house and later became a Greek organization. The idea worked so well that in 1947, the president of Kiwanis International changed it from a fraternity to a service dub and was chartered at Carthage College in Carthage, Ilinois. Today there are 30 Circle K districts. Each district comprised of a state, province, and/or a region. The district acts as management for the local club. The Circle K organization is structured like a tree from the international level down to the club level. Conventions and confer ences throughout the year bring these organizational levels together for social and fellowship experiences. ‘The club at Southern Tech was a highly organized club sponsored by Marietta Kiwanis. They were advised by De. Tom Hughes, Direc tor of Alumni and Annual Funds. The internat structute of the local chapter consisted of officers and committee chairmen. These chairmen were in charge of particular lub functions. There were, for example, committees set up to organize membership, fand-raising, public relations, socials, and special S ponsored by Kiwanis International, a professional organization for professional and business leaders the Circle K club, also known as projects. Circle K did a variety of different tasks. They took Handicap children to Six Flags, worked at the Special Olympics, and helped renovate hhomeless shelters. The club also got involved in projects with other organizations like the Children’s Miracle Network, oursing homes, the 68 CIRCLE K INTERNATIONALYWCA, and Bartered Women Shelters ‘The club's activities were not limited to service projects. Members also became involved with many social aud educational events ‘Southern: Tec’ CKT joined with the CRI clubs of Kennesaw State, Emory, and UGA at different times throughout the year.

It was founded November r1, 1874 at Syracuse Uni- versity and the word “sorority” was coined ‘especially for the Gamma Phis by Dr. Frank Smalley of Syracuse University in 1882. Gamma Phi Beca was Southern Tech’s first sorority. They were chartered on January 26, 1980 as the Delta Omicron chapter of the ational Gamma Phi Beta sorority. Spring quarter 1991, they had 25 active sisters and 5 pledges. Gamma Phi Beta encourages women mem- bers to be her own individual self, and to reach her goals by steiving to be the best she can be academically and personally. Each new mem ber which joined Gamma Phi Beta, has given the sorority a new outlook. This allowed the sorority to grow in new areas. Aside from the serious side of Gamma Phi Beta, theie sorority also offered excellent opportunities 0 mect new people and make new friends, especially with other women on campus. They had two socials each quarter with local fraternities. These socials held fall and spring quarters each had a different theme. The Gamma Phis have two traditional events every year. They are the Favorite Guy Party in the fall and the Pink Carnation Formal in spring. Gamma Phis worked hard together to make their s0- rority great!Flower Pisk VAMIMA TIL Plog Tyg PUlURDjation International Student Assoc (left to cight) Row 1 — Peter Shu, Charloree Janis, ISA Advitor, Docathy Savoy, Administtative secretary 2 — Frederick Wete, Juan Bonilla, Teodeos Ghebceyesus, Abdelghani Jaafar, Rainer ‘Thomas, Yassc Jorio, Ingrid Mierheth, Benito Actinano, Khudadad Khoso, Hatal Jin, Secretary, Meena Patel, Farzans Islam 3 — Junaid Keen, Vicepeesident, Jimmy Riveria 4— Nasser Salmanzideh, Mike Barbier, Charles Heholt, Ilias Andeaos, Ali Kachawala, Fazal Karin, Phil Friesen, Mike Ceball, Lucena Riveie, Roushdi Andtaos, Shekhani, Sukhdev Bal, Bobby John, Manu Honda, Ted Shelling ‘Samer Khashan, President Tm 5 ya INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ASSOCIATIONvop (lr) Cal low, Bras Teer more.

Through PUSH (PEOPLE UNDER- STANDING THE SEVERELY HANDI- CAPPED) the pi kapps have had a chance to learn how valuable it was to help the severely handicapped. Through work on playgrounds, play units, and visitation Pi Kappa Phi made those who are severely handigapped feel better. They have had a rare opportunity to help PUSH through theis efforts with cll roads to taise money. Pi Kappa Phi’s involvement did not stop there. Leadership, character, scholar- ship, responsibility, and beirig a gentleman are all qualities installed in pi kapps. Activities ranged from inteamurals, greek week, and goat night on campus. Leadership conferences such as PI KAPP COLLEGE are not required, but can be attended and provide leadership skill, Supreme Chapter was the governing body of PI KAPPA PHI, which may be attended by any brother. This gave each member a voice in the fraternity national- ly. Socials with other sororities allowed pi kapps co mect and talk to females from other colleges. ‘The Rosé Ball formal was the biggest function of the year for pi kapps. This event was a dinner and dance for the beothers and their dates. Awards were given to brothers in recognition of their dedication and service to the chapter. The pi kapps were also very strong in campus activities such as the beach party and the fall street danice. Camping trips were a frequent activity for the pi kapps. Aca- demics are considered very important. Epsilon Kappa has maintained one of the highest fra- ternity GPAs on campus for the past two years. Through test files and group study pi apps helped each other through theie years at Southern Tech. All these activities and much more were what the Epsilon Kappa chaprer of Pi Kappa Phi used to develop their member: into men.PLKABPA PHI 83 Wd eddey Id84 SIGMA NUgma Nu is based on the idea of nom «sho at the Viepinia Military Inst tute, The Tora Pi chapter at Southera Tech contin the national teaditions while cele braving thete 51 year on camps The goals of the Sigma Nu fraternity at Southern ‘Tech are teamwork, high aca: we ach ty. and fement, physical act aan overall enjoyable college experience.
