THE FRESHMAN
GUIDE

WHERE WILL YOU GO...

Welcome to Tech!
YASHVINI DEVA
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
You will probably never experi-
ence anything like your very first
week of college again.
There’s nothing that can truly
replicate the almost palpable ex-
citement in the air as students
move in, and parents cry and pre-
pare to move on. There’s some-
thing almost awe-inducing about
the fact that all 3,750 of you have
lived such different lives that have
somehow brought you to the same
place at the same time
It might be easy to forget that as
you approach Week of Welcome.
The Institute is almost overwhelm-
ing in its enormity: the vastness of its
campus, the size of its student body
and the sheer magnitude of opportu-
nities at your fingertips.
Whether you’re trying to find
one of the hundreds of clubs on
Engage or trying to join one of the
seemingly infinite GroupMes and
Discords, it is dangerously easy to
get lost and feel like you’re drown-
ing in an ocean of possibilities.
When you feel like this like you
are a stationary observer in a world
that constantly seems to move on
around you, just remember every-
thing happens for a reason, and
you will get where you need to go.
I know this is almost disgustingly
cliche advice (I’ve cringed at my mom
for telling me this very thing), but it is
honestly the most singular lesson I’ve
learned from my time here.
I spent the majority of my fresh-
man year caught up in trying to
make sure I did the right things:
joined the right friend group, partic-
ipated in the right clubs, went to the
right parties, and said all the right
things. And in my process of trying
to chart my best course, I found my-
self walking in circles, dizzy with my
own indecision and anxiety.
Looking back, I wish I could
blindfold myself and just shove
myself into the middle of the wil-
derness to feel my way out. I prom-
ise you that getting rejected from
one club is not the end of your per-
fect college journey; it could actu-
ally be the beginning.
Take it day by day. Today’s
failures do not chart tomorrow’s
course. You’re on your first day of
more than a thousand you’re go-
ing to spend laughing, crying and
just existing here.
You don’t have to rush through
every scenic route. At this point,
you’ve probably heard how impor-
tant your grades will be and how
hard college will be in every way it
can possibly be said. Instead, I’m
going to remind you that there’s
more to life outside of that. One
B will not sink you, but spending
your entire college experience un-
der the pressure of perfection will.
Take the time to smell the flowers
and make the memories that will
define this period of your life when
you look back on it.
Your mental and physical health
are just as important to your suc-
cess as your grades are. You will find
yourself running an infinite uphill
battle if you don’t take the time to
care for yourself. Take breaks, eat
good meals and listen to yourself —
you know you best.
Even if you hit a few road bumps
and detours along the way, I want
you to remember that these are also
one day of more than a thousand.
Take it day by day, and remember
none of this is permanent.
And the best part of all of this?
You’re never alone on this trip.
When you have food poison-
ing for the third time in a semester,
you’ll have people patting your back,
and when you ace that exam you
were absolutely certain you were go-
ing to fail, those same people will be
there patting your back (hopefully
for a different reason).
Even if you don’t find your forever
friends in your first week, you’re never
alone here. Tech hasn’t reached the
levels of prestige it has by having stu-
dents step on each other to reach the
top. Rather, there is a culture of work-
ing together; innovating the next as a
community, not an individual.
That’s what we’re here for. As up-
perclassmen, helping you guys thrive
at this school isn’t just a kind thing
to do; it’s a responsibility. I wouldn’t
be here without the upperclassmen
driving me home in the rain or tell-
ing me that it really does get better.
As difficult as it may be to believe,
you are not the first person to go
through the angst of being a fresh-
man; we got through it, and we’ll
get you through it too.
However, there will be moments
where you feel so truly, almost ach-
ingly lonely, and no reminders of
the others out there going through
the same thing will make it better.
But, let me let you in on a little
secret, these are actually the best
parts of it all (even though they re-
ally, really will not feel like it) be-
cause you get to know the person
who matters the most: you.
College is a time to really dis-
cover yourself. Whether that means
experimenting with a new fashion
style or just sitting with yourself,
the most valuable thing you’re go-
ing to leave with is a better under-
standing of who you are and how to
show up for yourself.
Finally, I want to end by saying
this: you should be proud of yourself.
It’s no easy feat to get into this school,
and do not ever let anyone convince
you otherwise. You deserve to be here,
and you’re going to do great things.
Welcome to Tech!

History of the Technique

TEHREEM HUSSAIN
MANAGING EDITOR
The Technique, or the ‘Nique
is the Institute’s primary student
newspaper featuring a weekly pub-
lication schedule. Our first issue
hit stands on Nov. 17, 1911 due to
our notoriously fierce rivalry with
U(sic)GA. This initial issue con-
sisted of some hard-hitting journal-
ism regarding the upcoming foot-
ball game against the University of
Georgia, featuring an article by a
popular coach by the name of John
Heisman. While the Tech team un-
fortunately lost the football game,
this first issue set the tone for what
would become “The South’s Live-
liest College Newspaper.” At the
time, the paper also published our
first-ever mission statement: “The
Technique desires intensely to serve;
to express for us our wishes and
needs; to increase our school spirit;
encourage us in disappointment;
congratulate us in success.”
In 1911, there was another stu-
dent newspaper: the Georgia Tech.
However, by 1916, the Technique
and the Georgia Tech were con-
solidated into a singular student
publication. Our name survived
the merger, making us technically
the longest running student news-
paper at the Institute.
Since its inception in 1911, the
Technique’s pages have been home
to everything Tech related. We
documented George P. Burdell’s
first appearance on Tech’s rosters
in 1920, covered the peaceful and
voluntary desegregation of the In-
stitute in 1961, and even reported
on the largest college football victo-
ry in history in Tech’s game against
Cumberland College in 1916 (we
won the game 222-0).
This is our 112th year of publica-
tion; since its establishment in 1911,
the Technique has expanded, adapted
and changed to adjust itself to the
ever-changing atmosphere of the In-
stitute. The staff of this storied pub-
lication recognizes the importance of
running a student publication and we
pride ourselves on uplifting the voice
of the student body through the ar-
ticles chronicled on our pages.
Currently, we feature five pri-
mary sections: News, Opinions,
Life, Entertainment and Sports.
Additionally, we also have a team
of student staff that focuses on vi-
sual and graphic design, technol-
ogy, photography and online edit-
ing. We publish monthly during
the summer months and weekly
during the academic year. We have
open meetings on Tuesdays at 7
p.m. in the Office of Student Me-
dia, Student Center Suite 2150.
We are always looking to expand
our teams; please stop by if you are
interested in journalism or are just
curious. We welcome all experience
levels and interests. Aside from pub-
lishing paper copies that you can
find at newsstands across campus,
you can also find us online on our
website at nique.net or follow us on
Instagram at @ gt_nique.

SAG-AFTRA writers strike goes on indefinitely

HAVISHA MURUKUNTLA
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
On Friday, July 14, the Screen
Actors Guild and American Fed-
eration of Television and Radio
Artists (SAG-AFTRA) members
went on strike over contract and
labor disputes with the Alliance
of Motion Picture and Television
Producers (AMPTP).
SAG-AFTRA is a labor union
representing about 160,000
actors, singers, recording art-
ists, stunt performers, DJs and
many more branches of Hol-
lywood, headed by Fran Dre-
scher, former actress and current
president of the union.
AMPTP is a trade associa-
tion that negotiates all guild and
union contracts across the indus-
try. Members include major mo-
tion picture studios like Warner
Brothers and Walt Disney, as well
as broadcast television networks
and streaming services such as
NBC, Netflix and Amazon.
SAG-AFTRA had been nego-
tiating with AMPTP since Fri-
day, July 7, as the contract the
two organizations had was bound
to expire. Their board mem-
bers were negotiating for better
compensation and benefits, less
demanding self-taped audition
requirements and protections
for members against the rise of
artificial intelligence.
In their list of grievances,
SAG-AFTRA primarily wanted
a third party to evaluate the suc-
cess of productions and for residu-
als to be paid according to talent.
Residuals are payments that actors
acquire in the long-run following
a movie or TV program’s initial
release due to re-runs. While an-
nouncing the strike, Drescher ad-
monished production companies
for refusing to compromise.
“They plead poverty, that
they’re losing money left and
right when giving hundreds ing it was to have to wait even longer for shows just because peo- were a united front, and un-
of millions of dollars to their longer for new releases. ple can’t compromise on anything til companies came back to the

they received as little as almost $7.
SAG-AFTRA isn’t the only
Hollywood union on strike.
For the first time in 63 years,
they are picketing at the same
time as the Writers Guild As-
sociation (WGA). With both
writers discontinuing scripting
and actors discontinuing acting,
Hollywood is frozen in place.
The consequences of the strikes
are already visible. All late-night
shows such as “Jimmy Kimmel
Live!” and “The Tonight Show
Starring Jimmy Fallon” have
gone dark. Release dates for TV
shows such as “Stranger Things”
and “Euphoria” have been post-
poned indefinitely as well. Movies
in production like “Deadpool 3”
have halted and all award shows
have been canceled. Production
companies have low savings be-
cause of the work stoppage.
With no side willing to com-
promise on their requirements,
the unrest is projected to contin-
ue well into September, as union
members continue to donate
money and picket.
A-list celebrities like Jane Fon-
da, Adam Sandler, Colin Farrel
and Daniel Radcliffe were all seen
picketing in support of the union.
Performers can still work
on projects not under AMPTP,
however, all companies deemed
struck by SAG-AFTRA are for-
bidden. Breaking the rules of the
strike is often called scabbing
or crossing the picket line and
can result in the removal of the
member from the union. Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons

SCOTUS overrules race-based affirmative action
TEHREEM HUSSAIN
MANAGING EDITOR
On June 29, 2023, the Su-
preme Court of the United States
(SCOTUS) struck down the use
of race-based affirmative action
in college admissions across the
nation in a 6-3 vote. The court’s
conservative majority was in con-
sensus over ending affirmative
action; the views of Clarence
Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gor-
such, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy
Coney Barrett corroborated Chief
Justice John Roberts’ opinion
that race-based affirmative action
creates discriminatory practices.
Conversely, the justices who voted
to uphold affirmative action were
Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor
and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Harvard College and the Uni-
versity of North Carolina at Cha-
pel Hill were the face cases for the
ruling. Roberts cited the equal
protection clause in his opinion,
claiming that race-based affirma-
tive action can result in negative
outcomes that are in line with
racial discrimination and stereo-
typing. On the other hand, in
her dissent, Sotomayor argued
that removing race-conscious
admissions policies would fur-
ther perpetuate racial inequality
in higher education. Public opin-
ion on the case of race-based af-
firmative action being employed
in college admissions varies. Ac-
The graph above depicts the admit rate broken down by each race for the 2022-2023

Tech’s football stadium has
officially been renamed Bobby

50% of Americans disapproved
of selective colleges utilizing race

The SCOTUS ruling will have
prodigious impacts on both pub-
lic and private higher education
institutions across the nation,
and Tech’s case will be no dif-
ferent. To learn more about the
Institute’s admissions practices
and how this ruling will alter ad-
missions strategies, the Technique
had the opportunity to interview
Rick Clark, the Assistant Vice
Provost and Executive Director of
Undergraduate Admission. When
asked about how Tech employs
race-based affirmative action in
its admissions processes, Clark
spoke of how the popularized
SCOTUS ruling had created an
ideology that conflated race-con-
scious decisions with race-based
affirmative action.
“One of the things I think

mer name since 1913, will contin-
ue to be memorialized in a display
near the stadium.
The partnership will also ex-
pand Tech research in sustain-
able transportation and the fields
related to it, aligning with Hyun-
dai’s growing presence in Georgia
as a leader in electric vehicle (EV)
production. The company is in
the process of launching a $5.54
billion EV plant in Byron Coun-
ty, GA, which will provide over
8,000 jobs for the state.
“Proximity to institutions like
Georgia Tech was one of the many
reasons Hyundai selected Georgia
for our new EV manufacturing fa-
cility,” says Jose Muñoz, president
and global COO of Hyundai Mo-
tor Company, and president and
CEO of Hyundai and Genesis
Motor North America. “We are
thrilled to expand our relation-
ship with Georgia Tech, which
will include opportunities for
student professional development
and cooperative work programs in
that affirmative action implies,
is, you know, this idea that we
have quotas, or spots held or
that there was like major weight
given to race where students who
might not have otherwise deserve
to be here were being admitted.
And I can say, I can tell you with
100%, transparency and honesty,
every student we admit to Geor-
gia Tech is eminently qualified
to be here,” said Clark
He also mentioned the com-
plexities within the admissions
process, especially concerning
the mountains of applications
received by the admissions of-
fice each year. Just last year,
52,354 students applied as hope-
ful Jackets, with a goal class size
of just 3,750 first-year students.
Not to mention, the admissions
office is also responsible for ac-
counting for the nuances behind
in-state, out-of-state and interna-
tional application numbers in an
already limited class size.
“The reality is, the supply and
demand equation is not work-
ing out. Like we have so much
demand for so few spots. And
that’s what holistic review and
holistic admission is. And I also
think that’s part of what is hard
to understand, and I get it, it’s
super gray. And it’s very hard to
explain because we don’t just put
kids on an Excel spreadsheet and
draw a line. Even if you quantify
things purely by numbers, it is not
fair. So, I guess my biggest point

TRUMP INDICTMENT
Fulton County prepares for the
announcement of former Presi-
dent Donald Trump’s indictment
for allegedly conspiring to over-
turn the 2020 election results in
Georgia. This would be Trump’s
fourth indictment this year, and
Fulton County District Attorney
Fani Willis is expected to indict
him as soon as this week.
The Fulton County Court-
house braces for the impact of the
announcement with heightened
security around the site. County
officials believe that if indicted,
Trump will have his mugshot and
fingerprints taken at the court-
house, raising security concerns.
Orange barricades line Pryor
Street, barring all vehicle traffic on
the block adjacent to the building.
According to the Atlanta Journal
Constitution, several news vans
now occupy the other half of the
street, which will remain reserved
here is that affirmative action has
never really existed in college ad-
mission, race conscious admis-
sion has been the precedent of
the court,” Clark said.
The SCOTUS ruling against
race-based affirmative action will
directly impact Tech due to its
positioning as a public institution.
The Institute’s undergraduate ad-
mission application can be found
on Common App, a free college
application tool students use to
apply to multiple colleges and uni-
versities using a single system. In
this application, there is a demo-
graphics section where students
typically indicate their racial iden-
tity. In light of the new ruling,
students will still answer questions
about their race on the application
for data collection purposes, but
that information will be redacted
from admissions committees dur-
ing the application review period.
However, Clark emphasized that
while race-conscious decisions
have been part of the convention-
al fabric of admissions at Tech, a
student’s race does not ultimately
govern whether they will receive
admission to the Institute.
“Through the vast majority of
the admission process, a student is
either admitted or denied, effec-
tively independent of or without
race being part of the conversa-
tion. And the delineations be-
tween students are relatively slight
that it’s never like, just because
you are a certain race or a certain
major, you’ll be admitted or de-
nied. It’s because we might have
50 spots left. And we still have
5000 kids to decide between, and
we’re looking for something that’s
going to help us to come to the
end of the process. We call that
shaping the class and looking at
institutional priorities, that Geor-
gia Tech is a place where we want
students who are from lots of dif-
ferent backgrounds,” said Clark.
As to how the Institute will re-
tain a diverse student body in light
of the implementation of a race-
blind admissions strategy, Clark
spoke of the relevance of campus
buy-in for a robust, diverse class.
He also explained that while Tech
employed race-conscious policies
in the past, it is not how they en-
sured that the student body would
come from diverse racial and
ethnic backgrounds.

The AJC also reported that
traffic inside the courthouse was
greatly reduced, with the court
conducting some virtual proceed-
ings and delaying others, and that
it seemed like everyone inside was
“waiting for something.” Current-
ly, only Willis, her team of investi-
gators and a couple of other teams
are working in the building.
According to the New York
Times, Willis has been investi-
gating whether Trump and his
allies interfered with the election
for over two and a half years and
will likely bring her evidence to
a grand jury to seek an indict-
ment this week. In this process,
Willis will present all of her evi-
dence relating to the case to a jury
of Fulton County residents, who
will then vote on whether there is
enough evidence to indict him.
CRUISE COMES TO ATLANTA
Cruise, the self-driving branch
of General Motors, announced
technique • August 11, 2023 • 4
“[The SCOTUS ruling] doesn’t
mean we will go from X amount
of diversity to zero. I think what
we need is students who say, what
we have here in terms of diversity
is invaluable. And this is where I
I think that Harvard and UNC
could have done a better job
bringing in alums to talk, so they
could have spoken to the educa-
tional benefit of diversity in a way
that lawyers simply could not.”
Similarly, Clark emphasized
the reality that the mission of
the Institute drives its admis-
sions practices. He also spoke of
the importance of context when
interpreting how admissions op-
erate. With Tech’s positioning as
a specialized public institution,
its applicant pool and mission
is vastly different from that of a
private liberal arts college. On
top of that, acceptance rates for
out-of-state and international stu-
dents are different from those for
in-state students, and geography
greatly impacts the percentage
composition of the class.
“I’ve always said there are no
admission problems. There are
community problems, you know,
and there are also no admission
solutions, like there are commu-
nity solutions and if we’re going to
really continue to live out our mis-
sion as an institution and supply
diverse talent. We have to make
sure the top of our funnel who’s
applying does not get truncated.
And so I think now more than
ever, we’re going to need a campus
wide investment in making sure
that qualified kids from all back-
grounds are applying here. And I
feel very confident in our staff in
our holistic review in our recruit-
ment. But if we’ve got a narrative
problem at the top that says, you
know, you’ve only been admitted
because of one singular factor,
then we’re going to have groups
of kids stop applying which will
become a huge issue,” Clark said.
In 1965, President Lyndon B.
Johnson institutionalized affirma-
tive action into college admissions
practices. In 2023, SCOTUS ef-
fectively erased the weight of a
student’s racial identity in college
admissions. With an ever-shifting
political climate, only time will
tell how this ruling will shape
class composition across college in
the U.S. in the coming years.

Originating in San Francisco,
the company has begun testing

pany will likely consist of manual,
supervised and finally unsuper-
vised testing. Then, Georgia regu-
lators will have to give the green
light before they can begin charg-
ing for rides in the city.
So far, Cruise’s taxi fares have
been less expensive than the
conventional Uber or Lyft, pre-
senting a cheap alternative for
Tech students. Cruise said that
a trip would cost 90 cents per
mile and 40 cents per minute,
plus a $5 base fee.

John Lewis student Leadership

Pathway: "Empower. Inspire. Act."
The John Lewis Student Leadership Pathway
(JLSLP) is a new leadership program for GA Tech
students that is dedicated to cultivating visionary
and ethical leaders who are empowered to
inspire positive change in their communities and
beyond. Through comprehensive programming,
experiential learning and mentorship students
will understand their strengths and values. Our
mission is to shape individuals into influential
leaders who champion innovation, foster
collaboration, and drive sustainable solutions for
a better future. Our goal is to promote positive
social change and empower students to engage in
leadership and advocacy.

The Aspen Index serves as an effective framework

for our leadership pathway. Students participating
in the pathway will engage in programming
centered around the six leadership categories
from the Aspen Index:

• Personal Leadership
• Civic Leadership
• Inclusive Leadership
• Interpersonal Leadership
• Innovation Leadership
• Sustainable Leadership

The approximate time of completion of the John Lewis Student Leadership Path is between 2-4
years. Students can complete their choice of 10 hours a semester over the course of four years,
with the flexibility to complete the path more quickly should they choose. Students will have
the opportunity to complete leadership capacities in any order and at their discretion.

As students progress within the path, they will receive a customized recognition of
completion along with specialized JLSLP awards.

If you are interested in joining our new leadership pathway program, please submit your Scan to apply now!

Off-campus cravings
NITHYA JAMESHENRY
OPINIONS EDITOR
While Tech has implemented
various new food options on cam-
pus in the past few years, there is no
denying that the pricey Slutty Vegan
and redundant Chick-fil-A can be-
come tiresome. Unfortunately, as a
first-year student, access to a car is a
rare luxury, making on-campus din-
ing establishments appear to be the
sole option that is both feasible and
economical. Thankfully, this is not
the case. Midtown Atlanta is rich in
off-campus options within walking
distance that can fulfill any craving.
For those craving their morning
fix, Dancing Goats on Peachtree
Place is an ideal location for a
high-quality blend and a place to
sit, study or chat with friends. The
Chilly Goat is a unique twist on the
blended coffee, replacing the ca-
nonical sugar overload with subtle
and coffee-forward flavors. Land
of a Thousand Hills Coffee, while
a bit pricier, does a delicious mat-
cha latte, different from the popular
Starbucks matcha latte.
However, those who like to stick
to the basics can frequent either of
two Starbucks locations near cam-
pus. One is located in the Barnes &
Noble Bookstore on Fifth Street and
the other on Spring Street. A slightly
less common chain, Costa Coffee, is
located in the Coda building on West
Peachtree Street. For west campus
dwellers, Urban Grind on Marietta
Street boasts great coffee, smoothies
and pastries for those hoping for al-
ternative drinks or snacks.
With all of these options for ca-
fes and coffee, it only follows that
there are numerous places to eat
nearby for those moments where
escaping the campus food scene
seems appealing. Starting near
west campus, Cheba Hut “Toast-
ed” Subs on Marietta Street offers
unique and flavor-packed sub sand-
wiches with various options for
vegetarians and meat lovers alike.
It is also open far later than many
other restaurants in the area, clos-
ing only at 12 or one a.m., depend-
ing on the day. Satto Thai and Su-
shi Bar on Marietta Street has great
Thai food; one can not go wrong
with their rice and noodle options.
The interior is well-decorated and
comfortable, serving as the perfect
place for a simple date night.
East campus contains numerous
enjoyable and accessible restaurants
as well. Pho King on West Peachtree
Street, name aside, has good pho
and noodle options. The interior
is dim, has plentiful seating and
they sell silly t-shirts. Xi’an Gour-
met House on Spring Street offers
authentic hand-pulled noodles in
a quaint and bright setting. They
also offer Chinese drinks such as
sour plum tea and WangZai milk.
For those craving a classic pizza or
pasta in an upbeat sports bar atmo-
sphere, Atwoods on West Peachtree
Street offers a wide variety of options
to satisfy any tomato-based desires.
A college student staple, Insom-
nia Cookies on Spring Street offers
warm cookies, ice cream and brown-
ies to satiate even the strongest sweet
tooth. For anyone hoping to get
some work done during their meals,
the food hall in the Coda building
boasts many different cuisines. One
notable option is their Mediterra-
nean restaurant, Aviva by Kameel.
They offer fresh falafel, seasoned
potatoes and flavorful gyro meats.
The chicken options provide very
substantial portions for those hoping
for some sustenance. Every meal also
comes with soft pita.
No matter where near campus,
the options are endless; those willing
to walk a little further have access
to even more! Whether a student is
looking for a fun pick-me-up or a
dinner after a long day of class, Mid-
town Atlanta has it all.

Using your student discount

CAROLINE BETZ However, the Technique is always free
CONTRIBUTING WRITER for all friends of the Institute!

Although college is a notoriously STUDENT TICKETS

expensive undertaking, many com-
panies offer college students steep
discounts to help offset other costs for
students. From in-person retailers to
digital subscriptions to even transpor-
tation, there are various student dis-
counts available to help save money!
USE BUZZFUNDS
Many students elect to purchase
Buzzcard Funds (Buzzfunds) in ad-
dition to their freshman meal plan
for use at many different retailers
and restaurants off-campus. Around
the Tech Square area, restaurants
and stores such as Moe’s, Ray’s Piz-
za, Twisted Kitchen and Barnes and
Noble accept BuzzFunds to purchase
food and other merchandise. Off of
West Campus on Hemphill Avenue,
restaurants such as Rocky Mountain
Pizza Co. also accept BuzzFunds!
NEWS OUTLETS
Many news outlets require a paid
subscription to access their content,
but some of these outlets give students
a free or discounted subscription! For
example, the New York Times gives
students a free news subscription when
they sign up with their school email
address. Other outlets, such as The
Economist, The Telegraph and The
Guardian offer students discounted
rates on their news subscriptions.
Whether one is going to the mov-
ie theater or going to see a show at
the Fox, there are often discounted
tickets available to students. Movie
theaters such as Regal and AMC
Theaters offer students discounted
tickets if they purchase tickets in
person and present their BuzzCard
as proof of their valid student status.
COMPILE DISCOUNTS
Many retailers offer seasonal or
changing student discounts, and
certain digital services compile
these for students to consult periodi-
cally. Some of these services include
MyUniDays and Student Beans.
MEDIA SUBSCRIPTIONS
Many different subscription
based services offer students a
discount on their products. For
example, Spotify Premium, Am-
azon Prime, Apple Music and
Youtube Premium all offer stu-
dents heavily discounted rates.
FREE SOFTWARE
Certain software is available to
students when they register with
their student email address. For ex-
ample, all Tech students have access
to the suite of Microsoft 365 prod-
ucts, such as Microsoft Excel and
Powerpoint, for free. Tech students
The Moe’s in Tech Square is one restaurant where Tech students
can utilize their BuzzFunds to enjoy a quick burrito or quesadilla.
are also eligible for a free Headspace
subscription when they sign up us-
ing their student email address.
TECH LIBRARY CARD
Along with the books that can
be checked out from the Institute’s
library, your library card can also be
used to check out content through
other programs. Certain apps such as
Libby allow you to input your library
card information and use their app to
check out ebooks and audiobooks.
TRANSPORTATION
Through Tech’s Parking and
Transportation Services, students
Photo courtesy of Travel_Photography
are able to purchase MARTA pass-
es at a discounted rate. These pass-
es are available on a monthly basis
and offer a discount over the prices
available to the general public.
CHEAPER INSURANCE
Certain insurance provid-
ers, such as Allstate and Pro-
gressive, offer college students
discounted rates on their insur-
ance coverage. Some provid-
ers, such as State Farm, offer
a steeper discount for students
who maintain a certain grade
point average and submit their
transcripts regularly as proof.

Tech traditions
CLARE CHUNG
STAFF WRITER
Leaving home for the first time
and going to college is the begin-
ning of a new era for many stu-
dents. As a freshman, you must
adjust to living in a new environ-
ment while meeting new people
and learning new rules. This time
of your life will undoubtedly leave
you with lifelong memories, in-
cluding the many on-campus ac-
tivities and traditions that take
place for freshmen.
One of the more unique fresh-
man traditions is known as the
Recently Acquired Tech student
(RAT) cap. Originally introduced
to campus over a century ago in
1915, this cap was used to mark
freshman students. The mandate
used to be that all freshmen should
wear their RAT caps until the
end of the year unless Tech beat
the Georgia football team at the
Thanksgiving weekend game.
Punishments were carried out by
upperclassmen towards any fresh-
man who did not follow these rules,
but anti-hazing laws have since
changed this part of the tradition.
Still, RAT caps are handed out to
all first-year students at the annual
commencement ceremony and are
decorated accordingly.
The freshman cake race dates
back even further; the inaugural race
occurred in 1911. Held on the day of
the Homecoming game, the sounds
of the marching band wake the fresh-
men up before sunrise to compete in
what is now a half-mile race to pos-
sibly win a cake and recognition on
the field during halftime.
Originally, it was created to
scout possible members for the
school track and field team. Since
then, it has become a long-standing
and beloved tradition in which any-
one is welcome to participate in and
receive a cupcake at the end!
To get students better accus-
tomed to their new environment
before the hustle and bustle of the
school year, Tech hosts a “Week of
Welcome” for its incoming fresh-
men. Students are able to move
in and get better acquainted with
each other before campus is filled
with upperclassmen.
Various events are hosted
throughout the week to boost
spirits for the upcoming school
year and engage the new students
with each other and campus cul-
ture. It also gives first-year stu-
dents the ability to familiarize
with the facilities at Tech and
even explore downtown. This
year, Week of Welcome takes
place from Aug. 15-20.
The Tech fight song called “Ram-
blin Wreck from Georgia Tech” was
first printed with lyrics in 1908 and
is an adaptation from an old English
drinking song. It is commonly played
throughout various sporting games,
most commonly after a touchdown in
football. Although the official lyrics
have not changed since its premiere,
most students now sing a revised ver-
sion of the second line in the second
stanza, “cheer the brave and bold” to
“to raise the ratio”. There have also
been various add-ons at the end of
the song throughout the generations
of Tech students.
If you are interested in being more
involved with campus traditions and
organizing events, consider joining
the Ramblin’ Reck Club, a student
organization that focuses on promot-
ing and preserving Tech traditions.
More information about the club can
be found at www.reckclub.org/.

Transportation at Tech

NEWS EDITOR buses called Stingers, which are open
to students and the general public —

cessful travel. The Gold route trav-
els back and forth between Tech
Square and the Student Center. East
Campus students should catch this
bus on the corner of 5th Street and
Techwood Drive if they want to
travel to buildings on Ferst Drive,
such as Kendeda or the Instruc-
tional Center. The Red and Blue
lines travel around campus with
stops at the East and West campus
dorms. Notably, the Red line travels
from West to East, while the Blue
line moves in reverse.
Keeping these routes in
mind, the most important tool
in your transportation arse-
nal will be the TransLoc app.
There, users can track the bus-
es in real time and gauge how
much time they will have to get
to the nearest bus stop. The app
will display all the campus bus
lines, which show the ETA of
the nearest bus to your location
when you click on their name.
Due to frequent stops and high
pedestrian traffic, the Stinger travels
much slower than expected during
peak hours. Sometimes, students can
arrive at their destination faster by
walking briskly instead of taking the
bus. Rather than wasting precious
minutes of your commute waiting at
the bus stop, use TransLoc to weigh
your options. Usually, walking to
class is more efficient if the bus takes
more than five minutes to arrive.
Tech offers two modes of night-
time transportation to help students
travel safely: the Midnight Rambler
and the Stingerette. The Midnight
Rambler operates every day from
around 9 p.m. -2 a.m., making a cir-
cular route through campus. This bus
operates less frequently, so be sure to
monitor it beforehand on TransLoc.
The Stingerette is a bit more
complicated to use, as it is a de-
mand-based ridesharing system
that uses smaller passenger vans
instead of buses. Students can or-
der a Stingerette by downloading
the Stingerette app and making an
account. The Stingerette can pick
up or drop off students at almost
any car-accessible location on cam-
pus, including the Home Park and
Centennial Place areas for drop-
off only. Its reliability fluctuates,
for example, the Stingerette might
take around five to ten minutes to
arrive on a Monday night, but 30
minutes to an hour on a Saturday
night. Be respectful to the Sting-
erette drivers, because lying about
the number of passengers and dis-
orderly conduct will result in de-
nial of entry into the vehicle.
Though it can be difficult to
navigate, Tech transportation
might just help you arrive on time
to an exam or an important in-
terview. Hopefully, these tips and
trips will help you navigate the
Stinger with confidence.

MATTHEW KISTNER
SPORTS EDITOR
Being a “Ramblin’ Wreck from
Georgia Tech” is much more than
just going to sleep, class and repeat.
It is all about expressing school
spirit and bleeding white and gold,
and there is no better way to do this
than to cheer on the Jackets athletic
teams as they take on schools from
around the country. Tech is home
to 14 Division I programs that rep-
resent the Jackets in the Atlantic
Coast Conference. With some of
the most storied programs in the
country, Tech has a rich history of
traditions and success in sports.
A lot revolves around the foot-
ball team in the fall where the Jack-
ets play in Bobby-Dodd Stadium
at Hyundai Field, the longest-used
on-campus stadium in the country.
Tech has a new coach at the helm
this season: Brent Key. Key is an
alumnus of Tech, and his love and
passion for the school bring a new
fire to the team. Key served as the
interim head coach for eight games
last season, where the team beat two
ranked teams on the road for the
first time since 2005. With big wins
like that, there are high expectations
for this coming season, and the team
looks to be in for an exciting ride.
They open their season on Friday,
September 1st against the Louisville
Cardinals in the Mercedes-Benz Sta-
dium in Downtown Atlanta.
Aside from football, the volley-
ball team also competes in the fall.
Playing in O’Keefe Gymnasium,
Michelle Collier leads the vol-
leyball team for her tenth season.
The Jackets have been quite suc-
cessful recently, with three straight
NCAA tournament appearances
and an Elite Eight finish in 2021.
The team is full of veterans this
season, and with a schedule that

hosts three of last year’s Final Four
teams in Atlanta, the Jackets look
to have a big year.

parts of the fall semester and goes

their games in McCamish Pavilion.

Damon Stoudamire take the reins
for his inaugural season. Tech re-
turns the top talent from the previ-
ous year and has brought in a lot of
new talent as well, providing several
reasons to be excited about basket-
ball season. The men pulled some
stellar upsets last season, toppling
Miami, a final-four team, in Atlanta.
Olympic gold-medal-winning
coach Nell Forter leads the wom-
en’s team and has built up the pro-
gram to a great stature. The women
have beat some of the nation’s most
storied programs in the past two
years: Connecticut in 2021 and
North Carolina State in 2022. The
Jackets have been a consistently
ranked program and look to return
to that point this year.

The spring sees the most sports
come to fruition with baseball, soft-
ball, golf, tennis, track and field
and swim and dive all competing
at once. The baseball team has been
Tech’s pride in the past few years as
Head Coach Danny Hall continues
to keep the program competing at a
high level in Russ Chandler Stadium.
The Jackets have been a consistent
top-25 team and frequently compete
for the annual ACC Championship.
The Jackets return top talent this year
and welcome a new pitching coach,
inspiring many to believe it will be a
stellar year for the team.
Softball plays on Mewborn Field
under the direction of Aileen Mo-
rales. The Jackets have made great
strides in recent years and are re-
turning to the national stage as a
team. The pitching for this team
has been stellar in recent years, and
this season should be no different
with a majority of the starters re-
turning. The challenge arises in the
Jackets’ schedule as the ACC is one
of the most competitive conferences
in the country in softball, with top
teams like Florida State and Duke
coming to call every year.
Golf just had their best year
ever as they won their 19th ACC
Championship, tied for the most
of any school in the conference,
and a Salem Regional Champi-
onship all on their way to the
National Championship match.
The Jackets fell just short against
Florida as they finished as NCAA
runner-ups for the fifth time in
program history. Golf has been
a dynasty in recent years and is
showing no signs of falling off as
they go into the year looking to
finally claim a national crown.
Tennis has seen some of the most
exciting stories in recent years, with
Carol Lee of the women’s team get-
ting to the quarter-finals of the
NCAA singles tournament, along
with Andres Martin and Marcus
McDaniel of the men’s team mak-
ing it to the semifinals of the NCAA
doubles tournament. Look for these
three seniors to have amazing seasons
this year and lead their respective
teams to a great year.
Track and Field and Swim and
Dive both had national qualifiers
who all return to the teams this
season, looking to continue their
successes. On top of these sports,
Tech also has club sports that com-
pete against other schools, such as
soccer, lacrosse and men’s volley-
ball. The teams play at the Cam-
pus Recreation Center and provide
a fun atmosphere for any casual
player to enjoy the sport.
Tech sports have long stood as
a storied part of the school’s his-
tory, and they continue to add
and bolster to the Tech brand year
after year. Welcome to the Insti-
tute new Jackets, and make sure
to show your school pride at all
the athletic events you can!

How to study in college

ASHIKA SRIVASTAVA
ASSISTANT LIFE EDITOR
You did it. You graduated high
school and are now about to begin
your first days as a college student at
Tech. Over the next couple of months,
you will learn to adjust to your college
life filled with new classes, opportuni-
ties and academic challenges.
As you make this academic tran-
sition from high school to college,
leaving behind AP, IB and Dual En-
rollment classes, you may need to im-
plement a few changes in your study
routine to better adjust to the struc-
ture and difficulty of classes at Tech.
These are some of the Technique’s
tips to help you improve your college
study system and work towards having
a successful academic year at Tech.
USE FREE TIME WISELY
With fewer classes and more
freedom than high school, you will
find yourself having more free time
as part of your day-to-day schedule.
Take advantage of this time and in-
corporate it into your study sched-
ule when possible. For example, if
you have one or two hours between
classes, take some time to review
notes from your previous lecture or
study for an upcoming exam.
JOIN A STUDY GROUP
Two heads are better than one,
and as you venture into more spe-
cialized and challenging classes
in your four years at the Insti-
tute, you may find that studying
with others works better for you
than studying alone.
Consider studying with friends,
classmates or other office hour at-
tendees you meet for the first time.
Even if you prefer to study alone, hav-
ing people to bounce ideas off of, to
answer difficult questions and to just
keep you company can be helpful.
SPACE IT OUT
While cramming right before
an exam or quiz may have been
effective in the past for some, it is
not something you should depend
on in the future. Many courses
only give about two to three quiz-
zes and/or exams with a greater
quantity of content tested, mak-
ing it more difficult to study this
information in a short period of
time. Focus on studying in short
sessions over a long period of days
or weeks to build up your long-
term memory before an exam.
STICK TO A SCHEDULE
It can be easy to get distract-
ed in college with no parents or
teachers to watch over you and
ensure that you are studying or
completing assignments. Creat-
ing and following a simple study
schedule can help with staying
on top of deadlines and plan-
ning study periods throughout
the week. Make sure to include
time for breaks and other social
activities as well.
ASK FOR HELP
Remember that Tech is a diffi-
cult school, and that you should
not be hesitant in asking for help
when you need it. Resources
such as Tech’s one-on-one tu-
toring center, TA and professor
office hours and the Peer-Led
Undergraduate Study (PLUS)
program are always available for
students. Visit www.success.gat-
ech.edu for additional tutoring
and advising resources.
Studying in college can be
difficult to adjust to, but with
these tips, an open mind and a
little focus, it will be one of the
most useful skills you will learn
as a student at Tech.
Good luck Jackets!

Key talks expectations at ACC Media Day
ROHAN RAMAN
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
In his first formal introduction
to the rest of the ACC, Brent Key
made it abundantly clear: he is fo-
cused on consistency and is uninter-
ested in expectations.
At ACC Media Day in Char-
lotte, reporters wanted to under-
stand Key’s perspective on the
team’s 4-4 record under his tenure
to close out the 2022 season.
When asked about how the
team achieved such a turnaround
despite a 1-3 start and coaching
change, the first-year head coach
bluntly stated, “we stopped expect-
ing something bad to happen and
started expecting to win.”
Key also cited player owner-
ship as a key factor, which he has
defined as taking responsibil-
ity for poor execution rather than
pointing fingers at others.
If the ownership the play-
ers showcased last year trans-
lates into 2023, that can only
help them improve.
However, Key also indi-
cated it is going to require more
than a mindset shift for real
improvement to occur.
When asked about the key areas
of improvement, he cited the need
for the team to “focus on the de-
tails” both on and off the field.
While part of said focus re-
fers to cutting down on penal-
ties and mental mistakes, it also
refers to all of the strength and
conditioning work that all of the
players are putting in. Through suc-
ceeding in the details, Key and the
coaching staff expecting to create a
more consistent football team.
At this year’s ACC Media Day, football head coach Brent Key spoke of the team’s goals
for this upcoming season and he emphasized his focus on consistency for the team.
The new director of football
strength and conditioning, A.J. Ar-
tis, will be critical in ensuring that
the team is physically capable of
performing to their ability, and in
Key’s opinion, the early results in
summer have looked promising.
Last season’s wins against
ranked ACC rivals like UNC
and Pittsburgh have created
a lot of optimism around this
year’s team — optimism breeds
external expectations.
Key could have confidently
predicted competing for the ACC
title and generated a lot of fan
buzz; however, he remained mea-
sured in his answers to several
questions about the expectations
he and his staff have for several
impact positions on the roster.
“The expectation is that they
play collectively,” Key said.

his approach to coaching and
evaluation of the team.
He provided more specifics
on his view on the roster’s areas
for improvement, noting that the
team needs to be more consis-
tent in running and throwing
the ball while also putting an em-
phasis on getting the ball in the
hands of the playmakers.
He also grouped the line-
backers alongside the receivers
as a group that needs to develop,
which makes sense given that both
groups lost established starters and
gained multiple new additions
through the transfer portal and are
relatively unsettled.
Key is aware of the work
that needs to be done this year,
and it is reassuring that he sees
specific areas for improvement.
Tech fans should also be excited
by his response to a question about
the difference between his interim
and current position.
He stated, “I really felt I was able
to take more ownership of the situa-
tion and pass that down to the kids.
Giving the kids the ownership of
the team is a priority for me.”
In a sport that is becoming
more dominated by politics and
personalities, it is refreshing to see
that Key’s focus remains on do-
ing everything he can to support a
team and staff that remains proud
and accountable for their results.
While there are bound to be
growing pains in the season and
moments where outside opin-
ions of the team may turn criti-
cal, Key’s comments throughout
his ACC media tour indicate he
expects the team to build con-
sistent habits in 2023 that will
drive success for years to come.

Chris Eubanks shines on tennis’ biggest stage
MATTHEW KISTNER
SPORTS EDITOR
Chris Eubanks left Tech in
2017 as a two-time ACC Player of
the Year and All-American. The
Atlanta native made his profes-
sional debut soon after in the 2017
BB&T Atlanta Open, where he
reached the quarterfinals through
victories over Taylor Fritz, a player
who was ranked fifth in the world
in February 2023, along with
Jared Donaldson.
From this performance, Eu-
banks received his first bid to
a Grand Slam event: the US
Open as a wildcard.
Although he would fall in
the first round event, Eubanks’
performance made a statement
that he could compete with
anybody on the big stage.
Eubanks spent the follow-
ing six years making various ap-
pearances in tournaments but
was unable to make a big run to
solidify himself among the elite.
It was at the 2023 Mallorca
Championships that Eubanks
got his run. After a sensational
performance that ended in the
quarterfinals at the 2023 Mi-
ami Open, Eubanks came into
the Mallorca Championships as
a top 100 singles player for the
first time in his career.
Eubanks knocked off every-
one who stepped on the court
against him as he went on to win
his first Association of Tennis
Professionals (ATP) Champion-
ship. This win boosted Eubanks’

STAFF WRITER
The United States has never
been perceived as a powerhouse
in men’s soccer with constant
disappointment in the Men’s
World Cup. These past few
years, the men’s game in the
U.S. has taken major steps for-
ward. From not qualifying for
the 2018 World Cup to making
the round of 16 in the most re-
cent edition in Qatar, the Unit-
ed States Men’s National Team
(USMNT) has shown signs of
major improvement under the
leadership of a new wave of
young American talent.
The major contributors to
the new look of the USMNT
are all under 30, featuring
players from some of the best
teams in the world. Christian
Pulisic, the captain of the US-
MNT squad, plays for AC Mi-

Italy, and is one of the most
creative players in the world.

confidence going into Wimble-
don, a tournament he had been
working to qualify for since 2018.
Eubanks then stepped into
Wimbledon this year as the 43rd-
ranked player in the world, his
highest ranking so far, and was up
against the world’s best.
With much to prove and a
dream at stake, Eubanks took
down Thiago Montero in the first
round in a four-set match. Mon-
tero had no answer for his open-
ing serve as Eubanks dropped
28 aces compared to Montero’s
10. The second round was a
new match but a similar story.
Eubanks took down 12th-
ranked Cameron Norrie in
four sets where he had 21 aces
to Norrie’s 8. Moving into the
third round, players were yet
to have an answer for Eubanks’
quick serve, and he was begin-
ning to attract attention with an
underdog storyline.
In a three-set nailbiter of
a sweep, Eubanks would take
down Christopher O’Connell
in a match where every set
went to a tiebreaker.
Eubanks had the edge in
the match as O’Connell, much
like everyone else, had no an-
swer for his quick serve as
the ace advantage was 23 for
Eubanks and just 5 for O’Connell.
Eubanks was now living his
long-standing dream as he was
in the Round of 16 and was the
last American competing in the
entire tournament. The nation
and the world’s eyes were now
watching and rooting for him as
important roles for the national
teams and their clubs. Arguably
the greatest show of strength
from the USMNT took place
with the addition of Folarin Ba-
logun. Balogun had the option
to play for Ghana, the U.S. or
England, to which he chose the
U.S. thanks to all of the promis-
ing talent on the team.
The USMNT players are only
becoming more technically bril-
liant and are making their way

Tsitsipas, the fifth-ranked player
in the world. Tsitsipas dominat-
ed Eubanks in the first set of the
game, toppling him 6-3.
Eubanks appeared to be out
of his league as Tsitsipas be-
came the first player in the
tournament to answer his serves.
However, Eubanks stormed
back in the second set, tak-
ing it in a tiebreaker. Tsitsipas
took the third set 6-3, but Eu-
banks made an in-match adjust-
ment in the fourth set in a way
that stumped Tsitsipas.
He outsized Tsitsipas by
three inches and had a wing-
span that could shorten the
court for him in comparison.
Thus, Eubanks changed
his strategy and began mov-
ing up to the front half of the
court to challenge Tsitsipas to
either play over or past him.
Point after point went to Eu-
banks, and Tsitsipas had no
answer as Eubanks took the
fourth set 6-4 and forced a fifth
set to determine who would
move to the quarterfinal.
Tsitsipas could not contest

Miami. Messi has drawn more
attention to the MLS than ever
before thanks to him being one
of the most successful players in
soccer. The arrival of Messi also
shows that the MLS is a desirable
place to play with many other
players following Messi’s lead.
The MLS has experienced
spikes of popularity before,
thanks to a massive interna-
tional arrival. David Beckham
joined the LA Galaxy in 2007,
which drew many eyes to the
MLS. However, the league was
unable to retain the attention
and garnered the reputation of
being a retirement league.
The MLS gained this reputa-
tion because many clubs would
sign older Europeans with tre-
mendous pedigree on expensive
deals only for those players to
underperform. For the league to
gain global respect and legitima-
cy, the MLS needs to show that
they can develop young talent
and bring in prolific players.
Overall, the improvement of
the USMNT and the increased
viewership of the MLS can
only mean good things for the
growth of American soccer in
the short term. The only way to
determine if the growth of soc-
cer is here to stay is to wait and
see how the next generation of
American superstars turn out.
