HOMECOMING
The Georgia Tech marching band plays during the Ramblin Reck Parade. The Ramblin Reck Parade is a long-time homecoming tradition that first began in 1932.
more of a Greek thing than anything else, which isnt bad, but
for them its more of a competition, when homecoming should
be more of a bringing campus together kind of event. So its hard
to keep it the same in terms of
competitiveness while also making it so that it brings the campus
together.
Nonetheless, the campus seems
to be caught up in the homecoming buzz, whether or not everyone
is participating.
Im most excited for the
homecoming concert, said Alexandra Cooke, a second-year
INTA. I didnt go last year, and
I think B.o.B would be fun to see,
and also it gives me a break from
studying and homework.
Others are more excited for
events that hold a particular personal significance.
I really like the NPHC homecoming step show because its a
really important tradition in the
black community for homecoming, and its always really fun to go
to, said Raianna Brown, thirdyear IE.
A more detailed list of SCPCs
homecoming events is available
on their guidebook app via their
website.

effort teams will put into preparing for it, said Amira Abadira,
second-year ME. And its such a
hilarious thing to watch!
Organizations around campus
are also just as eager to bust out
the trikes and participate.
This year, Wrek plans to form
its first team in quite a while and
take the prize! Or at least have
a blast trying, said Alex Cheu,
fourth-year ME and chief engineer of Wrek Radio.
The entrance fee for each team
is $95, used to cover the cost of
the tricycles. The Reck Club had
attempted to procure funding
from SGA to help offset this price.
Reck Club does not want an
entrance fee to be the reason a
student cannot take part in one of
Techs most beloved traditions,
Mini 500 Chairs Ashish Sridhar
and Manisha Khanal said in their
statement. At the current price
point, Mini 500 is too expensive
for students who want to compete
without the financial backing of a
group/organization.
Unfortunately, funding was
not possible as SGA is not able to
spend state money on giveaways, a
classification the tricycles fall under. However, there was no question of cancelling the Mini 500.
The Mini 500 has been a
lencia said.
After intense discussion with
SGA, the concert was funded,
though not without stipulations.
In the end, there was a clause
that they attached to our budget
this year: ... after this year they
will only give us $5 per student
that attended in previous years,
and that will be the next years
budget for SCPCs homecoming concert committee, Valencia
said.
The problem with this tactic
is that if a previous artist was not
popular or becomes unpopular
for any reason it will affect the
next years prospects.
In order to make sure that
this doesnt happen, SCPC has
had a strong focus on consistent
marketing to promote campus
involvement, especially for this
concert. To build suspense for
the announcement of the artist,
they posted obscure hints on the
event page on Facebook, such as
pyrimidine adenine thymine
adenine and wEre not Ready
Reveal the artiSt tomorrow, bUt
It should hoPefully be Soon. The
committee has also been wearing
t-shirts and buttons advertising
the event and tabling on Skiles
while dancing to B.o.Bs music.
The SCPC homecoming concert committee worked extremely
hard to make this event a success.
The dependence on the success
has put incredible pressure on the
Racers in the Mini 500 propel themselves forward in their tricycles. Participants
are monitored by judges to ensure they stay in their vehicles throughout the race.
B.o.B., pictured above, is well known for his singles Airplane and Nothin on
You. His concert represents an increase in expenditure and risk from last year.

USG makes

MAURA CURRIE
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
A recent meeting of the University
System of Georgias Board of Regents
(USG) addressed a number of items regarding Techs future.
The Sept. 15 meeting opened with
a discussion of new requirements for
entering freshmen at USG institutions, including Tech. Beginning in
the academic year of 20172018, new
freshmen can fulfill their foreign language requirements for admission with
upper-level computer science credits.
Part of the change involved high
school graduation requirements that
have evolved over the years to include
computer programming classes that require coding skills, said Sonja Roberts,
marketing and communications coordinator for USG. It is not necessarily
a bypass but rather another option that
enables a student to complete this particular portion of the college freshmen
admission requirement criteria.
The Committee of Academic Affairs
responsible for the aforementioned report went on to present a proposal from
Techs President G.P. Bud Peterson
to reestablish the Love Family Professorship in Chemical and Biomedical
Engineering to comprise of two professorships.
The redesignation reflects modifications to the donor agreement that
afford the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering the flexibility in
determining the deployment of distributions from the fund, according to
the proposal, to support any combination of faculty positions to meet the
needs of the academic unit. The first

Since the president is not defined
as a voting member, the aforementioned passage of Roberts Rules
cannot be applicable due to the
fact that it grants the ex-officio

is inconsistent with the constitution.
My preference would be that
a representative raises his or her

There are better actions that can be taken to promote gender equality instead of
the mere one-word change in a fight song
which many incorrectly sing or do not even
know the words to. One such action is to
target the microagressions women on this
campus face. Female students often find
their intelligence and capabilities questioned by their male peers. It is not uncommon for female students to hear that it was
easier for them to get into Tech than for
male students, which devalues the merit
and skills that women on this campus possess. In some cases, students and even professors tend to not directly address female
students when talking to them.
Although this dismissive attitude may
not be intentional, such behaviors are not
acceptable. It would be most beneficial to
conduct discussions about gender equality to help educate students and faculty so
that people can be made aware of these actions and prevent them in the future.
The Consensus Opinion reflects the majority opinion of the Editorial Board of the
Technique, but not necessarily the opinions of individual editors.

Its a gender segregated market - there are enough
anime that are watched almost exclusively by female
anime fans...your club should be split by gender or
sexual orientation...
Thesimpleway
The supply is to meet the demand. If they feel the
overwhelming majority of the demographic they
are targeting wants something they will produce it.
Most of these anime are targeted at young men 1521, cant really change that your demographic wants
fanservice.
Will
I should point out that many anime cons and anime
companies like Funimation report their male to
female consumer base is usually an even 50/50 split.
Also, it surprises me you do not mention the utter lack
of fanservice of any kind in the most popular anime in
recent memory, Attack on Titan.
Branko Burcksen
I think a lot of the time when people point out sexism
in media they like. A lot of people interpret that as
saying that watching it makes you a bad person and
the creator should stop making it entirely. But no one
ever says that. It is possible to enjoy something but
still recognize its faults.
a_faget
...sex sells, and the players in the anime industry
are fully aware that the majority of their audience
are straight males. While America is making strides
towards more gender equality...Japan is not on the
same level, so its going to take a while before anime
reaches the same level of gender equality.

if we were to eliminate
mental illnesses.
So, if mental illness
isnt the cause of gun
violence, then what is?
Violence is a learned behavior, meaning that the
root causes of gun violence are environmental factors during the
upbringing of an individual. There are many
potential influences for
violent behavior such
as: constant conflict
around the individual,
bullying in school, access to firearms in the
house, hunting trips,
and the specific activities one participates in.
For example, in August
2015, a study from the
American Psychological
Association concluded
there is an observed
relationship
between
violent video games
and increased aggression. While that may
not mean that all of
those who play video
games will become violent criminals, there is
enough of a warrant to
prove that environmental factors can cause violent behavior.
The obvious answer
to the problem of gun
violence is to reform
gun control. The polarization of political party
lines makes it hard to
achieve any kind of
successful negotiation.
So for the mean time,
this lack of action in
Congress will continue
to allow the media to
scapegoat the cause of
gun violence onto mental illness.

wildly popular, punk-fueled Tony
Hawk games were awaiting the arrival of Tony Hawks Pro Skater
5 (THPS5) for a while. After a
string of truly awful games in the
franchise (Ride, Shred, and Motion) was released across varying
platforms, THPS5 was the chance
to revive the series and bring back
the unforgettable joy provided by
the early Tony Hawk titles.
Pro Skater 5 failed in almost
every aspect. It is broken at the
core and filled with a multitude
of glitches and bugs that mar the
game as a whole. New developers Robomodo and Disruptive
Games rushed the release as the
franchise licensing was soon to
expire, leaving the game fundamentally flawed.
In the game, the players are able to customize their character, creating a diverse online mode. Unfortunately, this mode is not in working order, with glitches galore and abundant internet issues.

The end of the third season
showed Oliver Queen (Stephen
Amell) and Felicity Smoak (Emily
Bett Rickards) riding off into the
sunset. This gave The CWs fourth
season a bit of a conundrum: how
to continue a series when the two
main characters are finished. As it
turns out, the answer is letting the
plot bluntly demand they return.
HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER
The second season of ABCs
How to Get Away with Murder
reveals that Bonnie (Liza Weil)
murdered Rebecca (Katie Findlay), and the team picks up the
case of adopted siblings who are
charged with murdering their parents. In a flash forward, Professor
Keating (Viola Davis) is shown
bleeding to death in the clients
SUPERNATURAL
The CWs eleventh season of
Supernatural started on Oct.
7. The brothers are back to battle
their new enemy, who has a stellar
and creative name, The Darkness.
BIG BANG THEORY
The crew of Big Bang Theory
continue their lives in the ninth
season of this CBS show. The
show picks up where the eighth
season finale left: Penny (Kaley
Cuoco) and Leonard (Johnny
Galecki) driving to Las Vegas to
elope. Only now, they have to deal
with the information Leonard
reveled in the finale.
SCANDAL
In the fifth season, Fitz (Tony
Goldwyn) and Olivias (Kerry
Washington) relationship is exposed to the world, first by photos
leaked by Elizabeth North (Portia
de Rossi) and then by Olivias public confession. Meanwhile, Mellie
(Bellamy Young) schemes for her
future Presidential bid with Cyrus
(Jeff Perry).
ONCE UPON A TIME
The fifth season begins with
Emma (Jennifer Morrison) as the
Dark One, and the rest of the cast
searching for a way to save her by
traveling to Camelot to find Merlin. In a flash forward six months
later, the heroes are back in Story-
CRIMINAL MINDS
With Jennifer Love Hewitts
character having handed in her
resignation and JJ (A.J. Cook)
also pregnant, Hotchner (Thomas
Gibson) is tasked with finding
a replacement at the start of the
eleventh season. Though JJ will
return soon enough, the team
definitely feels the loss of two of
its members.
NCIS
The thirteenth season of
NCIS began Sept. 22. With such
a lengthy run, it should come as
no surprise that the overarching
plot has come to an end, leaving
the episodes disjointed and stereotypical of many procedurals.
THE LIBRARIANS
In a continuation of the movie
franchise which began in 2004,
the three new librarians will return with their Guardian, Baird
(Rebecca Romijn), for the TNT
TV seriess second season. To
entice viewers, the show is set to
premiere with two back-to-back
episodes airing on Nov. 1.
ELEMENTARY
The newest season of Elementary will open with Sherlocks
(Jonny Lee Miller) father coming
to town because of Sherlocks recent relapse.

Facing a third and one from
the Seahawks 11-yard line, down
three and with just under two
minutes left on the clock, the Detroit Lions held the momentum,
and quarterback Matthew Stafford was finally having success
against a stingy Seattle secondary.
Stafford dropped back, looked to
his left and fired to receiver Calvin
Johnson.
As Johnson rumbled towards
the end zone, Seahawks safety
Kam Chancellor caught the perennial Pro Bowler at the oneyard line, forcing the ball out.
Linebacker K.J. Wright, wanting
to avoid the unpredictable scrum
that inevitably follows an attempted fumble recovery, tapped the
ball out the back of the end zone.
Seattle ball at the twenty-yard
line, an all-but-certain Seahawks
win on Monday Night Football
and pandemonium from the raucous CenturyLink Field crowd.
Within minutes, the storyline
had changed dramatically. Twitter pundits pointed to Rule 12,
Section 4, Article 1 of the NFLs
regulations. The rule specifically
prohibits bat[ting] or punch[ing]
a loose ball (that has touched the
ground) in any direction, if it is in
either end zone. It was clear that
Wright had done just that. Dean
Kam Chancellor forced the fumble that resulted in the controversial bat out of the endzone for
Seattle. The Seahawks have benefitted from two well-known controversial calls in recent years.

Tech owes much of its success
to its diverse group of students.
Not only does Tech excel in academics, Techs athletic programs
have seen great success. The Jackets may be feeling down over
recent football losses, but Tech
swimming and diving has every
reason to celebrate. The Jackets
opened the season triumphant
and hope to end the season successfully at the NCAA Swimming
and Diving Championships, the
second championship in program
history to be hosted by Tech at the
Campus Recreation Center.
Welcoming sixteen international students and an internationally renowned coach to the
program, Tech swimming and
diving is steadily expanding its
global footprint. In fact, the program has welcomed the largest
number of international students
out of all Techs athletic programs. Head Coach Courtney
Shealy Harts goal is to develop a
program that fosters global champions.
The Jackets look forward to the
success that Olympic swimmer
and incoming freshman Iris Wang
will bring to the program. Wang
competed and placed fourth in
the 4x100 freestyle relay for China in the 2012 Olympic Games in
London. Coach Hart welcomed
Neil Versfeld to the program as
assistant coach.
We are thrilled to have Neil

Both the womens and mens swimming and diving teams posted great performances to open the 2015 season. They are predicted to be among the best in the nation.
join our staff, Coach Hart commented. His experience as an international Olympian and NCAA
Champion will be extremely valuable in helping our team reach its
goals. In addition, his international connections will continue to
help us recruit some of the finest
student athletes from all over the
world.
Versfeld has competed around
the world. A native of South Afship. This is an awesome opportunity to really embrace that role
and be more than just a guy on the
team, and I relish the opportunity.
Technique: What are your
thoughts on the teams recent
struggles?
Gotsis: Weve been struggling
a little bit. I dont think its anything that we cant fix. We have
been hurting ourselves a lot more
than how it looks on TV. Its more
about mistakes that we are making, like misalignments and assignments. Its bad, the position
that we are in, but we dug this
hole ourselves, and we have to dig
ourselves out.
Technique: What can you
learn from this losing streak?
Gotsis: Its just about correcting mistakes, watching the film
and fixing whatever mistakes are
made so that the next time you are
in that position, you dont make
the same mistake.
Technique: Is it affecting team
chemistry or morale at all?
Gotsis: I mean, there are never
smiles when youre losing. Everyone is down, but there is nothing
you can do about it now, so you
have to look forward each week
and take each day for what it is.
You cant think, What if? because you cant change anything.
Technique: After the Clemson
game, Coach Johnson said that
one reason for the teams struggles
might be that the players are trying too hard. Do you agree with
that statement?
Gotsis: Yeah, to a certain degree, I agree with that. We want
