Insider interview with SGA President Evan Gillian
In an exclusive interview with the
Technique, Undergraduate SGA President
Evan Gillon talked at length about what
keeps him up at night: the crippling fear
that students, faculty, staff and alumni do
not talk about him as much as he hopes.
The interview took place in his person-
al office in the SGA suite of the student
center, between Gillon’s aggressive sched-
ule of eating food court sushi and staring
silently across a boardroom table at Dean
of Students John Stein.
Gillon sat at his desk and refreshed
Reddit feverishly on his desktop, iPhone
X and Apple Watch in quick succession.
Seeing nothing containing his name, he
slumped. “It just makes me feel like no
one cares about SGA,” he said, his voice
wavering. “But we all know that’s not
true.”
Sarah McLachlan plays on a loop
in the SGA office. We asked Gillon if it
might be possible to turn her down, to
which suggestion his lower lip quivered
with the violence of a well-made Jello shot.
The music stayed on.
While Gillon is ostensibly excited to
graduate in May, not being a candidate
for anything appears to cause him physi-
cal pain.
“Like, I get that I’m graduating and
not allowed to run for reelection,” he said.
“But... I mean... you have to wonder
what everyone is so busy with that they
are not posting about my accomplish-

ments. Midterms are over. Where are
they?” Brow furrowed and fists clenched,
he closed his eyes for a moment.
In a sudden, explosive movement, Gil-
lon stood from his chair and scurried over
to the glass-paned door to his office. He
gently pressed his forehead against the
glass and closed his eyes, whispering into
the pane like the ear of a lover.

about me, what DO they want to talk

back finally gave out after he announced

about?” he said in a voice hardly above a
whisper. “Public dining options? Under
the Couch? Is this still about Under the
Couch?”
He whirled around, his Vineyard
Vines cufflinks glittering in the fluores-
cent lighting of the SGA office and his
hand swilling an invisible scotch glass.
“Do you know what we use SGA
printing allocations for?” he asked. “We
use them for executive session minutes,

four players at a time for strategic pur-
poses.
Pastner acknowledged that he fre-
quently asked a lot from Avlarado, but
defended his decision to make just one
player the entire basis of his team’s of-
fense. “Jose’s a great player. In all honesty,
we thought he could handle being the
only player who actually did anything on
the court, but apparently it was just too
much to ask.”
Alvarado released a statement from
his hospital bed where he was recovering
from the injury, adressing his teammates:
“You’re screwed now you little brats.
Whatcha gonna do without me, huh?
Sorry James, you can’t dunk eveything.”
Pastner announced that to compen-
sate for the loss of Alvarado, they would
be holding student try-outs for the start-
ing point guard slot. “You guys saw how
bad we were when Jose was out this sea-
son, so we figure that it couldn’t possibly

use them for these.” Gillon gestured to the
expanse of his office wall. There were two
posters — one, a cat dangling from a wire,
with a lighthearted caption of “Hang in
there Baby!”
The other was only text, reading “You
is kind, you is smart, you is important”
but with the second-person pronouns
scratched out in what looked to be sharp-
Flat earthers have
career prospects, too
Students waited in line for hours to
talk to SpaceX recruiters at an info session
last week due to a fiery debate between the
rocket scientists and one EAS major over
the true shape of the earth. “The earth is
flat,” third-year and College Republicans
member Cletus MacDonough tried to
convince the SpaceX members. “I’m not
moving until you admit it.”
According to the student, the shape
of the planet is why the rocket company
struggled with many of their test launches
in the past, and without his
understanding of what centu-
ries of science is trying to hide,
SpaceX could never
hope to accom-
plish their
goal of
coloniz-
ing Mars.
Moreover, without
substitut- ing density and buoyancy
for the “imaginary force of grav-
ity,” rockets like the Falcon Heavy would
miscalculate the fuel needed to leave the
atmosphere.

ie. In their place? “Evan is kind. Evan is
smart. Evan is important.”
“It’s about me,” Gillon said. A child-
like grin spread across his face for the
first time, definitely in this interview and
potentially in his life. He glanced out the
window at Executive Vice President Ayo-
deji Aladesanmi, who was perched in a
chair directly outside the window and
proceeded to give him a thumbs-up.
Asked if a consensus opinion in the
Technique would satisfy the seemingly-
insatiable need to be part of the zeitgeist,
Gillon fell silent for a moment.
“You know,” he began, clasping his
hands in front of his body as though he
simply had to do it to them. “The Tech-
nique staff and I are friendly. Ayo and I
are huge supporters of student journalism.
I was actually the Assistant News Editor
for a while, even though I had to ask for
help sometimes and there were rules where
I could not write about myself. The Geor-
gia College Press Association said I actu-
ally had the best editorial in the state in
2017, back when I wrote a piece on why

The Technique reporter cut him off
and asked the question again.
“You know what? I think there are
a lot of issues on campus that are more
pressing for the Technique to address,”
Gillon said. “I’d frankly be worried if they
spent more of their valuable time writing
about me.”

International Space Station?” repeatedly
asked one of the recruiters. “What would
he do if it was flat? Lose his job… when
NASA photoshops the pictures of the

retorted the student.
Though even after three hours of de-
bate, hundreds of students still waited in
line for a chance to show off their latest
participation in the Yellow Jacket Space
Program to the recruiters. The argument
finally ended after a public call to
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. Alleg-
edly, the

baron
ordered his
underlings to hire the Flat-Earther any-
way in light of their 4.0 GPA, two prior
internships and “obvious lack of friends

This week, Georgia Tech released an
official press release announcing their new
plans to forget the Ivan Allen College. Af-
ter years of failed attempts to forget the
college, the Institute has finally come up
with its most effective solution for finally
abolishing Ivan Allen from the collective
memory for good.
The plans include moving the Ivan
Allen College Habersham building to the
other side of Northside Drive where “the
view from the top floor will overlook the
entire campus,” and it can be the “hidden
gem” of off-campus life. Other details of
the plan include relocating the staff offices
in the Savant Building to the third floor
of Skiles, which in turn will relocate the
LMC classrooms to the basement of the
Smithgall Building.
All social media accounts associated
with the college will be terminated or
repurposed as fan accounts for incoming
freshman athletes.
Any further communications with
the college must be carried out through
a handwritten note passed along by car-
rier pigeon, which can be rented from the
Price Gilbert Help Desk/Rookery during
the Fall of 2019.
Pigeons that survive into the summer
semester will subsequently be executed
during Archery Club’s target practice in
Association of educated people against
vaccines opens new chapter at Tech
Georgia Tech communications an-
nounced that registration has been filed
for the creation of a new chapter of the
Educated Persons against Vaccination
(EPV) organization on Georiga Tech’s
campus. The chapter failed to name a stu-
dent leader, regional coordinator or even
an address of any kind of national organi-
zation, leaving officials confused about the
structure of the organization.
The administration attempted to track
down the individual who filed the regis-
tration, resorting to advanced forensic in-
vestigation to identify any trace of some-
one who could sponsor the chapter.
Police Sergeant J.J. Bittenminder re-
ported that the investigation was incon-
clusive.
“We tried fingerprint analysis first and
didn’t find anything. That led us to try
more advanced techniques such as DNA
analysis and identification of the printer
from the form itself, but we couldn’t find
anything about either,” said Bittenminder.
“The form might as well have willed itself
Technique increases campus engagement
Over the last year, the Technique has
worked to expand access to the paper by
optimizing the locations of the Technique
paper stands, but readership has contin-
ued to fall.
A survey of the student population run
by the Technique in Spring 2019 found
that 68 percent of students were not aware
of the Technique, and of the 32 percent of
surveyed students who were aware of the
Technique, half did not know where they
could go to pick up a copy.
However, 85 percent of students re-
ported frequenting buildings on cam-
pus whose egress points are flanked with
Technique newsstands.
In response to dwindling pickup rate
issues through the traditional distribution
method, the Technique has chosen an in-
novate and to partner with Tech Facili-
ties Management and Toiletter, a startup
begun in 2017 which prints personalized
messages on toilet paper.
“This is the future of print media,”
said Gregorio Becker, Tech alum and the

Ivan Allen students.
C2D2 has already compiled all Ivan
Allen-affiliated documents for a so-called
“ritualistic burning” and will be hosting
a networking event bonfire at the end of
the week for engineering majors hoping to
simultaneously job search and wipe their
minds of all traces of the liberal arts.
The end goal of the campaign is to
abolish the college altogether in the next
five years, so every student-athlete has

much information about where it came
from.”
The form did not list a website for the
organization and internet searches for the
organization turned up only information
about the EPV virus, which is the leading
cause of infectious mononucleosis.
Desperate to find literally any person
who would claim ownership of the form,
Tech canvassed students on Tech walkway
to try and get anyone to sign the form.
Tech went as far as deploying Dean of
Students John Stein to Skiles Walkway,
where he was overheard saying “please,
someone, just sign the paper. We can’t get
rid of it no matter how hard we try. Every
time we shred it or even burn it, a new one
shows up in the inbox next day.”
After nearly two weeks of attempting
to find a registrant for the club, Tech re-
leased a statement saying that the paper-

dom passerby wanted to start the chapter.

how many pixels per inch can be printed
on flush-safe paper has expanded by leaps
and bounds over the past five years.”
Toilet paper printed with Toiletter
technology can cost up to 30 percent more
than regular double-ply toilet paper, due
to the triple-ply requirement for high reso-
lution toilet paper.
“The average American adults spends
two hours a week just sitting on the toilet,”
Becker said. “There is a huge potential to
engage with untapped audiences in the
most personal of spaces: the bathroom.”
During the pilot program, the Tech-
nique-enhanced toilet paper will be
placed in bathrooms in the Clough Un-
dergraduate Learning Commons and the
Crosland Tower.

between abbreviated stories, QR codes
that link to online versions, and advertise-
ments between sponsors.

the paper gives a little texture, which real-

the college disappears during their senior

When interviewed by the Technique
about the sudden changes, Ivan Allen
himself reportedly could “not recall what
college in particular [the Technique] was
referring to.” President Bud Peterson was
not available for comment, though he was
allegedly heard saying he was “glad to fi-
nally see [the Ivan Allen College] go,” as
the disappearance would permanently
“free up the budgets.”
At the time of printing, no such claim has
been made. The paperwork is currently on
display in a hermetically sealed case inside
the office of the Dean of Students.

If the pilot program goes well, the

current printing costs for the Technique,
the increased readership may provide a
boost to advertisement rates and quantity
sold.
“Here at Tech, we are active creat-
ing the next toilet paper,” said Brenda

ager at Facilities.
“We hope that with this partnership
with Toiletter, several campus organiza-
tions will be able to provide notices and

great place to start

Georgia Tech Police Department launches new

corporal punishment for scooter infractions
Students who see Georgia Tech Po-
lice Department (GTPD) officers around
campus might notice a new piece of
equipment all officers carry: an old Razor
Scooter.
The scooters, part of a new effort
launched by GTPD to curb infractions
by Bird, Lime and Jump scooters, will be
used by the officers in a new and unex-
pected way.
“We’ve had to move onto more …
extreme methods of punishment,” said
Chief Connoly, Chief of GTPD, “there-
fore we gave all officers a way to dole out
justice on the spot.”
The Razor Scooters that all officers
now carry will be swung into the ankles
of perpetrators a number of times propor-
tionate to the severity of the infraction.
For example, a scooter rider being
found riding on the sidewalk when they
should be riding in the bike lane will be
given ten slashes of the scooter.
Students who are repeat offenders will
also start to receive increasing increments
of slashes. “We feel that making students
relive the childhood trauma of feeling like
their foot will fall off will encourage better
behavior on scooters,” said Scott ‘Scooter’
Smith, GTPD’s resident scooter specialist.
“We want to conjure up the sharp, achilles
tearing pain of the first time your Razor
Scooter so much as tapped your ankle. If
we can get at least 50 percent of scooter
riders back on the right path with this pro-
gram, I’d say we’ve got a job well done.”
So far, the program has proven to be
very effective with minor scooter infrac-
tion dropping almost 70 percent in the
first week. “I will definitely never ever
break scooter laws again,” said third year
CS Howe Miankle, “I wasn’t able to walk
for three days after getting 20 slashes for
going through a stop sign without stop-
ping.” While many students who ride
scooters are outraged at the implemen-
tation of this new rule, many students
who don’t ride the scooters have praised
GTPD.“I think this is a great decision,”
said MSE Juan Tanamo, “to many pedes-
trians are being put in danger because of
these reckless scooter riders.”
Moving forward, GTPD hopes the
infractions will continue to fall, but pre-
liminary results are promising.

“Auditions” voted best campus quiet space

In a recent poll conducted by the
Technique that recieved 43,789 reponses,
the self-described “pop-style venue” res-
taurant Auditions, which is located on the
first floor of the Student Center, was voted
“Best Quiet Space on Campus.”
Peters Parking Deck was the runner-
up for “Best Quiet Space on Campus,”
followed by a tie between the aisles of
Publix and Tech Walkway during High
Five Fridays.
Following the closing of Price Gilbert
in preparation for the new phase of con-
struction, students have been desperate
to find new places to study, do homework
and destress. Many have found that new
place in a surprising location—in line for
Auditions.
When asked about the new-found
quiet space, second-year AE Mona Lots
said, “My favorite thing about the line for
Auditions is that it is between the lines for
Chick-fil-A and Panda Express. I like that
I can look up from my physics homework
and see a lot of people standing in line.
Like, I look to my right and see a lot of
people standing in line and that I can look
to my left and also see a lot more people
standing in line. I think it’s very, uh,
calming.”
Her friend who was standing nearby,
second-year ME Jean Ralphio added on,
“Auditions is definitely the easiest place to
concentrate. I mean other than the people
ordering food and all the people walking
through the Student Center, it’s pretty
much quiet. At least, it’s quieter than any
other place on campus.”
As shown by the poll, this is a com-
mon sentiment among many students, es-
pecially first-years, who had their primary
studying location—the salad bar at North
Ave—tragically taken from them early
this week by yet another leaky pipe.
Carly Jeon, a former MSE — now Un-
decided — first-year explained her usual
study habits, saying “I like that Auditions
does not have any seating. It’s almost like
having a standing-desk, except without
the desk.” Studying at Auditions is never
stressful, of course, but the employees
still find a way to make it stimulating.
By changing their menu every week, Au-
ditions makes it easier for Tech students
cramming for midterms to feel excited
about skimming their textbook just one
more time.
When asked about how the poll has
impacted employees at Auditions, one
cook said, “It just feels nice to be seen. We
try our best to make food that will fuel
Tech students through their education,
and we are just so happy that students like
us enough to hang out for hours around
the drink machine to do their coding
homework.”

Announcing new pres-

ident Bud Yeeterson
In recent weeks, a new frontrunner
has emerged in the Institute’s search for
a replacement for President G.P. “Bud”
Peterson, who announced his retirement
earlier this semester. The shadowy new
candidate, despite having essentially no
verifiable personal or professional history,
has immediately established himself as a
frontrunner.
The candidate, named G.P. “Bud”
Yeeterson, came to campus last week to
deliver a speech to students. Yeeterson en-
tered the stage after being introduced by
President Peterson, who rushed off stage
quickly just before Yeeterson entered.
Yeeterson spoke about continuing
with many of the policies and programs
which President Peterson has pushed in
the past, emphasizing that should he get
the job, he is seeking a smooth transition,
but looking for a “fresh start” free from
the controversies with which President Pe-
terson has recently been associated.
Yeeterson also emphasized making
himself and his administration more relat-
able to students, a focus which he made it
clear that he takes seriously when he deliv-
ered the speech sporting a backwards-fac-
ing flatbill cap and an assortment of flashy
gold chains around his neck. Yeeterson
also sipped from a 40 oz. container of malt
liquor between promises about presenting
students with an approachable link to the
administration.
The speech and Yeeterson’s candidacy
as a whole have been met largely with
positive responses from students, who
have praised him for his down-to-earth
attitude and his “mad chugging abilities.”
All this despite allegations from some
students that the candidate is just current
President Peterson with a fake moustache.
Responding to these allegations,
Yeeterson explained that “while I find
President Peterson to be a rad dude, I can’t
emphasize enough that I am not just him
in a fake moustache. I am a completely
different, not-made-up person and I
would be a completely different Institute
President than Bud was.”
Asked specifically about the lack of
photographs of the two men in the same
room, Yeeterson explained that “Bud and
I have been in the same room many times.
People just haven’t been looking at the
right times, I promise!”
Yeeterson has the endorsement of at
least Institute official: President Peterson
himself, who has called him “dope.”

Almost a month after being placed

On Tuesday night, Tech released
the results of its report, conducted by
an external investigator. The report
cited the results of interviews con-
ducted with all student athletes and
staff under Joseph, former players,
and other individuals associated with
the team as well as Joseph herself. In

On Tuesday, the Technique hosted a public debate in the
Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons that probed
the platforms and backgrounds of the four presidential
tickets running to the be the next president and vice presi-
dent of the undergraduate Student Government Associa-
tion (USGA).
Contrasting with last year’s USGA elections, where
current USGA President Evan Gillon and Executive Vice
President Ayo Aladesanmi ran unopposed, this year saw a
wider array of candidates running for the presidential tick-
et, including a meme-driven campaign from presidential
candidate Jimmy Forsmo and running mate Shishir Bandi,
who have sought to bring attention to issues within Tech
culture by promising to “veto everything” that comes out
of the Undergraduate House of Representatives (UHR).
Forsmo and Bandi, running as outsiders, acknowledged
during the debate that they had never served time in any
branch of SGA.
“My aim in running for this position was to facilitate
real change, and I believe that when there is an institution-
al and cultural problem at a community that cannot seek
to be improved despite a unanimous call from the com-
munity to fix it, the only real vehicle in the community to
fix it is a disruption of the status quo,” Forsmo said during
the debate.
However, unless a major upset is to occur at the polls,
the war for the executive leadership of USGA appears to be

West Village Dining’s maggots inspire local romance novelist

The following is an excerpt from the
latest work of campus romance novelist
P.P. “Belle” Skeeterson.
“Come here often?” a husky voice
asked from the other end of the buffet
line. Maggots are covered in heat-sensitive
cells that function as eyes, so I did not
have to turn to see who had spoken. In-
stead, I wriggled in acknowledgement.
“No. I’m only two days old. This is
my first time out here,” I called out to the
stranger. My photoreceptors could not de-
tect his outline, so I squirmed closer.
“Well, I would love to be your first
time,” said the stranger with an audible
grin. “Welcome to West Village.”
“What?” I asked, worming my way
past lukewarm pots of pasta and gently-
breaded, hardly-cooked chicken tenders.
“Is that, like, East Village? Are we in New
York?”
Wherever we were smelled divine, and
the dim heat lamps set my class IV den-
dritic arborization neurons all a-tingle.
[REDACTED] Was I in heaven? Was this stranger…
[ R E D A C E D ] an angel? Deep down, a segment of my
wormy body was scared. But even deeper
down, another segment was excited in a
way I still cannot quite describe.
As I worked my way up to the stranger
I began to see his silhouette take shape:
a bowl that shone like plastic. Leaves of
green, wilted romaine, growing soggy
and limp after hours of exposure to the

conceivably be categorized as an utterly
un-funny crouton. Cherry tomatoes, un-
derripe and still coated in pesticide. He
was dangerous, but the most beautiful
danger I had ever seen in my 48 hours of
existence. He was a salad from the West
Village, wherever that was. And I wanted
him.
“How long have you been in West Vil-
lage?” I asked as my telescoping peristaltic
movements propelled me up to his plastic.
“Long enough to know I probably will
never see another maggot quite as pretty
as you,” the salad rumbled. “How about
you get on up here so I can get a better
look at you?”
I clicked the two hooks at the front of
my tubular body together in affirmation,
not quite able to squeeze the words out.
Yes, Mister Salad. I started to climb up
his bowl, feeling a shiver ripple through
the plastic. Were my ears playing tricks on
me, or did I hear a faint groan?
As I crested the rim of the bowl, I could
see the wilted greens piled high. Glisten-
ing cherry tomatoes. Oh, ‘Ggot. I have no
digestive system, but I felt my body begin
to secrete digestive enzymes that, ever-so-
slowly, dripped into the bowl.
“C’mere.” The salad spoke in a hoarse
whisper, his soggy lechuga heaving. Let-
ting go of all inhibitions, I dove in.
[REDACTED]
I was no longer just a maggot, but a
maggot in a West Village salad. I felt alive.
So alive, in fact, that I did not feel the
cold metal tongs as they slid around me
and my salad, scooping us into a small
plastic tray. So alive that I did not notice
as we drowned in canola oil and pepper
masquerading as “Italian dressing.” So
alive that, in that moment, it did not mat-
ter that a freshman was about to eat me.
I was free.

Todd Stansbury announc-

es Butch the meat bee
Tech On Saturday, Tech athletic di-
rector Todd Stansbury announced that
the Institute will be rebranding from the
Yellow Jackets to the Meat Bees.
“I think this move is a step in the right
direction,” Stansbury said, “the Yellow
Jackets didn’t really strike fear into oppo-
nents the way that Meat Bees will.”
The new mascot, Butch the Meat
Bee, was also revealed at the event. Butch
sports leather biker boots, leather chaps
and a leather vest. A manly tuft of chest
hair peeks out of the top of his leather
vest. Butch’s visage is way more intimidat-
ing than the paltry one Buzz sported. Two
giant pincers make up Butch’s mouth, and
can be gnashed on command, surely as
a means to scare potential foes.To com-
memorate the transition, Butch decapi-
tated the old Buzz costume and paraded
around with the head as a trophy.
“I’m really liking the intimidation fac-
tor we’re getting here,” Stansbury said, “I
can’t wait to see how this turns out.”
Communications announced that
registration has been filed for the creation
of a new chapter of the Educated Persons
against Vaccination (EPV) organization
on Tech campus. The chapter failed to
name a student leader, regional coordi-
nator, or even an address of any kind of
national organization, leaving officials
confused about the structure of the orga-
nization.
The administration attempted to track
down the individual who filed the regis-
tration, resorting to advanced forensic in-
vestigation to identify any trace of some-
one who could sponsor the chapter.
Police Sergeant J.J. Bittenminder re-
ported that the investigation was incon-
clusive.
“We tried fingerprint analysis first and
didn’t find anything. That led us to try
more advanced techniques such as DNA
analysis and identification of the printer
from the form itself, but we couldn’t find
anything about either,” said Bittenmind-
er. “The form might as well have willed
itself into existence and we would have
just as much information about where it
came from.”
The form did not list a website for the
organization and internet searches for the
organization turned up only information
about the EPV virus, which is the leading
cause of infectious mononucleosis.
After nearly two weeks of attempting
to find a registrant for the club, Tech re-
leased a statement saying that the paper-
work would be on hold indefinitely in the
office if any student, professor or even ran-
dom passerby wanted to start the chapter.
At the time of printing, no such claim
has been made.
The paperwork is currently on display
in a hermetically sealed case inside the of-
fice of the Dean of Students.

MENTAL CONFERENCE UPDATE
During Undergraduate House
of Representatives (UHR) open
forum, Collin Spencer, director
of the Mental Health Student
Coalition (MHSC), presented
preliminary takeaways from best
practices compiled during the In-
tercollegiate Mental Health Con-
ference, held in mid-February.
Spencer discussed how envi-
ronments can combine with ge-
netic and other predispositions to
mental illness to catalyze deterio-
rations in mental health.
“What is important is that
some component of this is genetic
and invariable, but far in large it
cannot act on its own without pre-
dation by the environment. And
the reason why this is important
is because this changes why men-
conservations in the workroom
sort of on the side. More impor-
tantly, it gives them a mechanism
to which to talk directly to the
dean, hopefully, who controls the
environment of the entire college.”
Spencer and the MHSC are
still condensing the best pratices
collected from the conference.
ELL SPECIALIST
In a major Joint Allocations
Committee (JAC) bill, GSS and
UH voted to approve spending
$55,000 to add an English-Lan-
guage Learner (ELL) specialist to
the Naugle Communication Cen-
ter (CommLab). Tech administra-
tion had declined to contribute
their half of JAC funds to the bill,
because, “none of us [in admin-
istration] saw enough of a link to
mental health,” dean of Student
Life John Stein said the March 12,
2019 UHR meeting, according to
minutes. This Tuesday, GSS and
UHR decided to fund the ELL
specialist purely out of SGA-con-
tributed JAC funds.

ELECTIONS FROM PAGE 1
Haigh Angell versus that of Carson
Silbert and running mate Francis
Yang. All four have held positions
in the current USGA session’s ex-
ecutive cabinet: Juvekar as the VP
of Internal Affairs, Angell as the
VP of Academic Affairs, Silbert as
the Chief of Staff and Yang as the
VP of Communications.
Vathsan Ramprakash, Joint
VP of Finance and John Butler
III, ran another SGA-member-
laden campaign, but found their
campaign sink after a Slack mes-
sage surfaced on Reddit in which
Ramprakash said he selected But-
ler, who is black, as his running
mate because “increasing voter
turnout among black students is
better for strategy.” Ramprakash,
who also had been criticized for
shouting a profanity at an op-
posing candidate whose mother
has cancer, conceded the race on
Wednesday. Votes already cast
toward the Ramprakash/Butler
ticket will be included in vote to-
tals that affect whether the elec-
tion will pass into a runoff.
The debate offered an oppor-
tunity for the candidates to show-
case what made their platforms

presidential ticket was tasked with
answering both general questions
on how they would approach their
early days in the office or address
different campus groups, as well
as tailored questions to clarify
points of their campaigns.
When asked what would be
their priority during their first
100 days in office, Juvekar and
Angell cited reaching out to the
new Tech president, administra-
tion and student groups.
“We plan to have these first
conversations with not just the ad-
ministration but also all the stu-
dent advisory boards that report
to deans,” Juvekar said. “I think
another big part of this is really
kind of collaborating with student
leaders on campus, and seeing
what communication platforms
are working currently, and how we
can start from day one assessing
what those mediums are and how
to leverage the best platform.”
“Right now, the structure is
that SGA kind of waits for stu-
dents to come to them, but we’re
going to bring SGA to students,”
Angell added. “Instead, we’re go-
ing to have physical traveling of-
fice hours for representatives to go
to each and every organization a
couple of different a times to up-

date them on what SGA is doing.”
Silbert said that communica-
tion to campus leaders and would
also be the focus during her first
100 days, but that she and Yang
would also immediately act to ad-
dress mental health.
“During our first 100 days in
office, I think the most important
thing for Francis and I to do is
to open lines of communications
with student leaders on campus,”
Silbert said. “In regards to our
platform and what we can accom-
plish within our first 100 days,
we made our mental and physical
health platform extremely action-
able and something that we can
get done immediately, because
we know that students can’t wait
another semester, another year, or
even another administration for
that change to be enacted.”
Silbert and Yang have pro-
posed a “Hi, my name is cam-
paign” that they would launch
to address campus loneliness, in
which students would wear name
tags throughout the day to facili-
tate making new friends.
Students can vote for presiden-
tial and UHR candidates at elec-

North Avenue dining hall
closed to fix kitchen leak
MASON FAVRO
STAFF WRITER
As of this Tuesday, the North
Avenue dining hall will be closed
for repairs. Brittain dining hall
will have its daily schedule ex-
tended in order to cope with the
demand for food from the stu-
dents living in the East campus
residence halls. It is expected that
Brittain will be East campus’ sole
functioning dining hall for the re-
mainder of this semester.
The cause of the closure is a
leak in the kitchen area, which
is affecting the safety of the food
that is served in the dining hall.
This is not the first time that there
have been issues with the overhead
plumbing system, and this deci-
sion comes after the department
of Auxiliary Services decided that
repairs to the system could not be
put off any longer.

ing hall is closed “until summer,”
however no other specifics have
been announced for when the fa-
cility is planned to reopen.
Some Institute students ex-
pressed their concerns with the
situation through the r/gatech

thought Brittain would not be
able to handle the increased vol-
ume of students in spite of its
extended hours, as well as sug-
gesting that non-athlete students
should be allowed more use of the

Community updated on plans for Campus Center
WILL FINCH
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
The first of four Campus Cen-
ter project updates held during
March and April offered attendees
on Wednesday a sneak peek into
the plans for the Campus Center.
“This will be a significant im-
pact to campus, but also a im-
provement to campus,” said Kate
Curnow, communications man-
ager of the Student Center.
The “Campus Center Project”
is the name of the upcoming con-
struction that spans from Tech
Green to the Campus Recreation
Center. The only current build-
ing affected is the Student Center,
portions of which will be heavily
renovated, but four new buildings
will also be added to campus to
expand services for both faculty
and students.
In addition to keeping with the
architectural tone of the Clough
Undergraduate Learning Com-
mons and West Village Dining
Commons.
An exhibition hall designed to
be a prime meeting and confer-
ence space will take the place of
the parking lot adjacent to the
W2 Parking Deck and Instruc-
tional Center. The new addition
will boast 11 different meeting
spaces and a 12,000 square-foot
ballroom so as to relocate future
events from the current Student
Center ballroom.
“We believe we could hold gi-
ant events like the career fair in
this one space, which would be
amazing,” said Lindsay Bryant.
director of the Student Center.
Additionally, three pavilions
will reside along the sidewalk con-
necting the Instructional Center
to center of campus to activate
the space. These will be for an ex-
panded Paper and Clay, an office
space for Tech’s health and well-
being initiatives and a stand alone
cafe with an outdoor fireplace
lounge connecting them.

OUR VIEWS | Consensus Opinion

SGA Executive Ticket Endorsement

Pooja and Haigh represent best chance for effective, meaningful leadership
This year’s election cycle has giv-
en rising campus leaders a chance
to shine the spotlight on problems
that SGA can focus on in the com-
ing year. With the departure of
President Peterson and a height-
ened awareness of campus issues
like dining and mental health, it is
important that the student body is
represented by leaders that will take
advantage of the opportunities that
this dynamic time brings.
While Carson Silbert and Francis
Yang would undoubtably be effec-
tive SGA leaders, Pooja Juvekar and
Haigh Angell’s actionable platform
and diverse team gave them the edge
when the Technique staff decided
who to endorse this year. Dead-end
promises and nebulous verbs like
“promote” and “empower” are inevi-
table in any platform — except that
of Jimmy Forsmo and Shishir Bandi
— but Pooja and Haigh paint a clear
picture of their goals for SGA to ac-
complish in the coming year and the
campus community that they want
to build.
The two platforms overlap signifi-
cantly in several areas, but they each
posit unique ideas that the eventual
winners should implement. Carson
and Francis’ “Hello my name is...”
initiative, while questionable in its
efficacy, brings a new dynamic to
campus mental health conversa-
tion. Expanding the counseling
center has become the go-to solu-
tion championed by many campus
groups, but complacency with that
singular answer ignores the com-
plexity of the issue. The “Hello my
name is...” idea shows that improv-
ing campus culture around mental
health shouldn’t end at a more ro-
bust counseling center.
The candidates on both tickets
have impressive histories in SGA,
but two accomplishments stood out
to us. First, Pooja’s work in improv-
ing the internal communication of
SGA has been invaluable in ensur-
ing its smooth operation. Second,
Haigh’s successful efforts to intro-
duce mini-mesters into Tech’s cur-
riculum will put him in a unique po-
sition to evaluate their debut in the
fall. While the nature of SGA makes
it difficult to attribute accomplish-
ments to individual members, Pooja
and Haigh’s initiative in these mat-
ters reflects well on their ability to
bring ideas into fruition.
We would be remiss if we did not
mention the ticket of Jimmy and
Shishir, whose platform consists of
a single point: veto everything until
the counseling center has a 500:1
student-to-counselor ratio.
Between their meme-based cam-
paign and their lack of SGA expe-
rience it is clear that they weren’t
entirely viable candidates, but their
goal of making a statement was
nonetheless achieved. It is simply
impractical to sabotage every aspect
of SGA until a single, complex tar-
get is met.
Cabinet appointments are an im-
portant factor in our decision, and
the combination of experience and
diversity in Pooja and Haigh’s team
leads us to believe that they would
put together an effective group if
they were to be elected. This, in ad-
dition to their experience, tangible
platform points and representation
of a larger swath of the student body
— not just those in For The Kids
or Freshman Leadership Organiza-
tions — solidified our decision to
endorse their ticket this year.

Technique, but not necessarily the opinions of individual editors.

Tackling a dangerous apathy on campus issues
“Where Tech goes from here
will decide the direction of
the Institute for the next five
to ten years.”
CASEY MILES
MANAGING EDITOR
Graduating is something ev-
ery Tech student looks forward
to. While students may “get out,”
there always seems to be a little bit
of Tech left in them. Whether that
little piece is a thorn in your side,
reminding you of a difficult time
in your life, or a badge of honor
proudly displayed to those around
you, Tech will stick with us for the
rest of our lives. It is for this rea-
son why I’m concerned with the
future of the Institute.
Tech is currently at a cross-
roads: there is a large turnover in
the administration and it seems
that students are beginning to
become restless when it comes to
certain key issues. Where Tech
goes from here will decide the di-
rection of the Institute for the next
five to ten years. What worries me
the most about this is that a vast
majority of students are seemingly
apathetic to all of this.
Those students who are in-
volved in the goings-on of campus
will almost always be interested
in these issues; however, more
students need to be engaged for
our interests to be heard. Apathy
among students is not uncom-
mon. It seems that all too often
we are too busy to care, but this
attitude must be eradicated, espe-
cially when it comes to our future
and our wellbeing.
A huge issue students face today
on campus is mental health. There
are students who are trying to do
something, and I understand that
not all students have the time to
put in the effort required to build
institutional change, but there are
certain things all students can do
to ensure these changes happen.
First, support and stay updated

created in support of Path For-
ward. This is quite possibly the
biggest one. Currently, the Path

Four years of a
problematic status quo
As my time at Tech comes to
a close, I find myself wondering
more and more if I will miss the
experience once I am gone. I have
certainly enjoyed my time with all
the involvements I have at Tech,
including the marching band, the
Student Government Association,
being a teaching assistant and, of
course, the Technique. However,
my time at Tech has been one of
the most stressful times in my life,
which has put a damper on the
whole experience.
This lingering concern about
whether I will look back at my
college days fondly has me wor-
ried about the culture of our
campus. When I compare the
amount of work I have done with
my friends at other schools, I have
consistently found that I have
more to do over a shorter period of
time. The amount of work I have
had to do for a three-credit class
has varied between a low weekly
commitment and a requirement of
constant dedication to the class in
order to succeed.
Part of the concern I have with
this amount of work is that it be-
gins to cut into time that students
could use to de-stress, including
involving themselves in extracur-
ricular activities. As I have ap-
proached the end of my degree, I
have found myself having to limit
the amount of extracurriculars I
have been involved in despite the
fact that I am taking fewer credit
hours than either of my semesters
last year.
I will forever be grateful for my
involvements on campus, as they
have been the highlight of my
experiences. I have gained invalu-
able insight into campus events
and had the opportunity to work

on a publication despite being a
Computer Science major through

the campus through my involve-
ment in SGA as a member of their
IT Board, connecting students to
technology solutions on campus.
I have had the opportunity to be
part of a century-old tradition as
a member of the marching band.
And, not least of all, I have had
the unique experience to interact
with several students as a teaching
assistant.
What about students who have
not had the opportunity to be in-
volved on campus? How will they
look back on their days at Tech?
Will their impression just be of
the hard work, of the sometimes-
unfair classes or of the intense
stress Tech puts on its students? I
seriously doubt that students who
lack these experiences will be able
to look back fondly at their time at
Tech, which is a serious problem.
Tech needs to make a commit-
ment to improving the culture on
their campus. Not every student
can be involved in extracurricu-
lars to improve their college ex-
perience. The current attitude of
back-breaking work as a sign of
pride is inherently problematic
and unnecessarily stressful. We do
not need to decrease the quality
of the school to change this; hard
work is not necessarily bad. The
expectation that students should
just accept the work and just push
forward is the real problem.
I hope that the community
will eventually improve the cul-
ture so that students don’t need
to be involved on campus to have
a positive experience. Every stu-
dent would benefit from having
a stronger idea of what exactly
one credit hour entails in terms
of work. Students deserve better
than having to stress constantly
about the work that they are doing
and certainly deserve to at least
have some sympathy instead of
being expected to grin and bear it.
If there is one piece of advice
I would leave to incoming stu-
dents, it would be to get involved
on campus. It will vastly improve
your experience and give you
something to look back on fondly
when you think of your time at
Tech. Hopefully, then, Tech will
become a place that you graduated
from instead of “got out” of. Tech
has to change. We do not have to
be a back-breaking college to be a
top collegiate institution, and it is
past time that we stopped believ-
ing that this is true.

Georgia is mulling a con-

fetal heartbeat is a completely

Failed Astrophysics major to a successful science writer

by Jaimee Francis, Contributing Writer

Some people have got it all figured out: they have known what they want to do and how they want to do it
since day one. Others haven’t got a clue: they are still searching for their calling and wonder if they ever will
find it. Some may even wonder if such a thing even does exist.
An early love and fascination for astronomy placed Michael Lemonick into membership of the first group.
A failing grade in an introductory course in astronomy then transferred Lemonick’s membership into the sec-
ond club. This same Lemonick would just years later become a leading science writer and the Chief Opinion
Editor at Scientific American.
On March 13, 2019, the College of Sciences hosted Michael Lemonick for an event Lemonick dubbed
“How a Failed Astrophysics Major Became a Successful Science Writer.” Lemonick shared his story of dra-
matic transformation, explaining how despite — and maybe even because of — the twists and turns that
curved his path, he has never failed to give up his pursuit of uncovering the mysteries in the world.
Lemonick’s desire to study science was sparked at a young age, with his father serving as an influential
figure in his life. As a physics professor and administrator at Princeton University, his father knew how to
present science in a relatable manner not only in the classroom, but also at home.
“[My father] did not make me do any math, he did not make me solve any problem sets, we didn’t go into
the lab… what he did was told me stories,” Lemonick recalled. “He got me excited about the awe and the maj-
esty and the spectacular stuff going on in the universe, from the very largest scale to the very smallest scale.”
Fast-forward several years later, and Lemonick would discover that the awe and majesty of science were
not always translated into science classes. He recalled the way in which conventional educational methods
— with their dry textbooks, tedious problem sets and irritating lab instructions — often diluted the true
wonders of science. Discouraged and frustrated, he failed his introductory astronomy course and was forced
to change majors.
Lemonick cited his lack of self-knowledge as the source of most of his difficulties. After graduating from
college with a degree he did not care for, he moved back into his parent’s home and took a job as a delivery
driver. Given his educational dilemmas, he did not know how to marry his interest in science with a profes-
sion. Lemonick attributed a strange, yet powerful force that worked to change the course of his life and guide
him back to his early goals of pursuing science.
“Almost like magic in the late 1970s, the field of science journalism suddenly emerged from obscurity to
be everywhere. The New York Times, which has a science section every Tuesday, created that section at that
time. So did The Washington Post,” Lemonick shared.
Now armed with a clear goal in mind — and with the help of a little magic — Lemonick was able to
pave his path to success. With his newfounded ambitions, he was no longer discouraged by the unknown.
He worked his way up from the bottom: he started working at a local newspaper and covering municipality
operations until he was accepted into Columbia University’s School of Journalism. To date, he has held senior
staff positions at Time, Climate Central, and Scientific American.
Today, after overcoming many obstacles, Lemonick has achieved his childhood dream of uncovering the
mysteries in the world. He meets with prominent researchers and communicates their discoveries to his read-
ers. He attributes his ability to not only grasp complex scientific findings, but to also present them to others
as resulting from the awe and majesty of science that has once again captivated him.
Some people think they have got it all figured out, and others think they haven’t got a clue. As Lemonick’s
intriguing story demonstrates, there exists no set path to a destination. Twists and turns can — and will —
bend that path. It is an insatiable yearning to learn and grow that will lead travelers back on course, and onto
their next adventure.

Bracco’s research on the impact of oil spills
ELIZABETH GRACE
STAFF WRITER
Professor Annalisa Bracco in
the School of Earth and Atmo-
spheric Sciences has been tracking
the transport of oil in the Gulf of
Mexico after the 2010 British Pe-
troleum (BP) oil spill. Her group
was the first to explain why and
how the oil spill took the specific
shape that it did, forming fronts as
it spread from the site of the leak.
A physical oceanographer by
trade, Bracco works with numeri-
cal models based on fluid dynam-
ics to understand how pollutants
are transported in the ocean.
When she began her work, she
wanted to understand where the
oil went, what kind of impact it
had on the coral colonies and
mammals and how its movement
could be explained by fluid trans-
port equations.
The BP oil spill, also referred
to as the Deepwater Horizon
spill, occurred on April 20, 2010,
at 1,500 meters underwater. The
enormous amount of oil spilled
can be visualized as a line of oil
barrels stretching all the way from
Atlanta to Los Angeles. It had a
catastrophic impact on the mam-
mals, fish, coral and ecosystem,
but it could have been far worse.
Surprisingly, a deep plume of oil
formed at about 1,200 meters
underwater and stayed very con-
fined, while the rest of the oil
rose to the surface as expected.
Bracco’s group looked into the
dynamics that could explain this
unexpected confinement.
The Gulf of Mexico’s topo-
logical structure played a notable
role in the containment of the
spill. The Gulf’s seafloor is home

up a majority of the chemical en-
gineering industry, Green has over
30 years of experience in the en-
ergy sector.
After graduation, she found
her passion for the energy indus-
try after accepting her first full-
time position at an environmental
engineering firm and has never
looked back since. At this com-
pany, Green learned the ropes of
both field and design work within
the scopes of multiple energy re-
lated projects.
“I felt that my engineering
degree was less of a measure of
my chemical engineering knowl-
edge, but more as an affirmation
of my own competency,” Green
explained. “With a rigorous aca-
demic background from Georgia
Tech, I was able to prove to my
employers that I could think criti-
cally, and problem solve — skills
that are invaluable to any job posi-
tion … Given the tools that Geor-
gia Tech provides, you can achieve
anything.”
The next chapter of Green’s
story begins after gaining six years
of experience at the environmen-
tal engineering firm. After get-
ting her hands dirty in the field
and applying this knowledge
in the design phase, Green had
built up enough expertise to start
her own environmental firm. In
1990, Green divulged her inner
entrepreneurship and started her
own environmental corrosion en-
gineering company called Green
Environmental & Corrosion, Inc.
For almost two decades, Green
served as the president and chief
engineer of her own firm, all while
to the Mississippi alluvial fan, an
elongated, underwater mountain
formed by detritus deposited by
the Mississippi over thousands of
years, and the neighboring DeSo-
to Canyon. The oil spill happened
in the DeSoto Canyon, on the
east side of the mountainous Mis-
sissippi fan, which significantly
helped to contain the spill.
“It is very hard for material to
go to the other side of the moun-
tain, essentially, and it only hap-
pens along very specific pathways
along the continental slope. That
had important implications for
the damage that happened at the
bottom because it was not as large
as it could have been. Had it hap-
pened on the west side of the Mis-
sissippi fan, things would have
been very different,” Bracco said.
In addition to the fortuitous
location, the Gulf of Mexico is
full of natural oil seeps; there
are thousands of locations on the
bottom of the gulf where small
amounts of oil leak out from un-
der the seafloor. As a result, the
gulf has native oil-consuming
bacteria that helped to clean the
spill. Serendipitously, no storms
occurred during the months while
the leak was uncapped, and the
Loop Current, which flows from
the Caribbean, around Cuba and
up the coast of Georgia, stayed
further south. If the Loop Cur-
rent had dipped into the DeSoto
Canyon, the current would have
brought the oil up to the coasts of
Florida and Georgia.
The spill also happened at a for-
tuitous time of the year: not only
are hurricanes less likely, but the
convergence fields that describe
the surface of the water change by
season and favor oil containment

the way she loved and cared for
her sons, Green was equally com-
mitted to nourishing and growing
her company. Owning her own
company allowed her to do what
she loved, all while refining her
technical expertise as well as cata-
pulting her business judgement.
The next defining feature of
Green’s career is her continued
education in the technical field.
Even though she had a back-
ground in chemical engineering,
Green saw environmental engi-
neering as an avenue of improving
the world around her. She wanted

in the summer.
“If it had happened in winter,
you would have probably mixed
the top hundred meters [of water]
with oil much more effectively.
Staying much more confined in a
shallow layer at the surface helped
with the evaporation factor, so a
lot of oil was released into the air.
I mean, really, I don’t think they
could have planned it better,”
Bracco said.
The impact on the coral and
wildlife was surprisingly spotty.
“You could have a [coral] colo-
ny very badly damaged, and then
ten meters apart, there’s a colony
that was fine, or that was not
much damaged at all,” Bracco ex-
plained. This effect is in part due
to the bacteria that consume the
surface oil. The oil that came into
contact with the bacteria popula-
tion and phytoplankton formed
marine snow. This marine snow
is a collection of plankton, little
shells that were killed by the oil,
and other materials, which fall
down to the bottom in clumps. As
a result, the damage to the bottom
of the seafloor was nonuniform,
taking a peculiar shape.
“It’s better to have it concen-
trated in small regions, because
you’re not killing everything,
right? In a way, you’re really lim-
iting the damage. Because if you
have fish, if you have corals, they
produce two larvae. So if you have
two colonies that are together, and
one gets killed or heavily dam-
aged, the one nearby will prob-
ably send larvae to the first one,
and so you could imagine that in
20 years you are going to rebuild,”
Bracco said.
She continued to describe the
recent work of Guangpeng Liu,
to continue to develop her exper-
tise in this field and decided to
pursue a Master’s degree in Envi-
ronmental Engineering at Georgia
Tech. “Although the seemingly
intuitive next step was to pursue
a Master of Business Administra-
tion degree, I felt that I had suf-
ficient business knowledge from
owning my own business, so I de-
cided to further my own technical
expertise to advance my career,”
Green said.
Currently, Green uses her busi-
ness and technical experience as
she serves as the President of Pond
& Company, where she is respon-
her graduate student.
“Understanding the damage
has been very helpful in [choos-
ing] instrumentation that allowed
us to collect a time series of par-
ticulate organic carbon. Carbon
that is in the atmosphere is used
in photosynthesis by plankton
and exoplankton, and then goes
down. You can put a trap at the
bottom of the ocean, and you
can try to collect those particles,
and so you can measure the flux
… What Guangpeng has done,
which I thought was very clever,
has been to take the time series
from two different locations that
were pretty close — 40 kilometers
apart — but that had very differ-
ent accumulations of particulate
organic carbon. And with the
model, he was able to take the par-
ticles at the bottom and backtrack
them at the surface.”
What Guangpeng saw was
that these particles that landed
near each other came from very
different places on the surface.
These sources have different levels
of productivity, which explains
the nonuniformity of particulate
carbon reaching the traps. What
this means is that carbon does not
simply fall straight down to the
ocean floor as some have assumed;
it has a complex trajectory that
requires probability density func-
tions to model.
Another arm of the group’s re-
cent work unraveled how the Mis-
sissippi River played an enormous
role in the impact of the oil spill.
From a physics perspective, the
water’s motion near the surface
can be thought of as exchanges
of kinetic and potential energy.
If the water’s top layer is deep
enough, it has potential energy

sible for the operational aspects
of the organization, program de-
velopment and staff development
and overseeing sales and technical
output of the company.
Green has been featured in
multiple media outlets and rec-
ognized as an industry leader and
expert. In a 2018 issue of Engi-
neering Georgia, Lorraine Green
was named one of Georgia’s “Most
Influential Women to Know.”

available to convert into kinetic
energy, and wave fronts will de-
velop as a result. The upper ocean
layer is typically shallower during
the warmer months, as in April
when the spill occurred. Despite
the thinner layer, fronts in the oil
distribution still appeared. The
question was: how did fronts de-
velop without a source of energy?
The Bracco group realized that
density gradients generated by the
Mississippi River flow acted as a
source of energy for the fronts.
“In the absence of the Mis-
sissippi River, we do not have
that distribution of water on the
surface. And something that
people did during the spill with-
out knowing was to divert the
Atchafalaya River into the Mis-
sissippi. So when the Mississippi
comes down, near the end, there
is a dam that sends one third into
the Atchafalaya that goes towards
Texas and two thirds comes down
New Orleans and Mississippi.
But during the spill, because the
spill was closer to the Mississippi,
they closed the dam, and the idea
was that they were trying to push
the oil away. But without know-
ing, what they actually did was
provide more energy for this kind
of front structure,” Bracco said.
The Bracco group was the first to
be able to explain this mysterious
pattern.
Bracco hopes that her work
will help us become better pre-
pared for future oil spills by pre-
dicting oil flow and helping us
understand its behavior.
In addition, Bracco works with
the National Oceanic and Atmo-
spheric Administration (NOAA)
to determine which regions of the
sea floor should be protected.

Reviewing a show like Netflix’s

each episode bringing in new di-

tough to make statements about

“Shape-Shifters,” attempt a hyper

Hozier’s set opened with

powerful love ballad. The homely
effects of the song’s acoustic-based

with the down-to-earth nature of

The sold-out crowd of 3,600

who had balcony seats were soon
on their feet once the set pro-
gressed through songs such as the
upbeat “Jackie and Wilson” and
an acoustic version of “Someone

2014 eponymous debut album.
Throughout the entirety of the
set, the singer made it quite evi-
dent that his voice is in no need of
doctoring; the live performances
nearly matched the exact sounds
of the produced versions, and
Hozier consistently hit numerous
challenging notes with little to no

Ultimately, large credit should
be awarded to Hozier and his crew
for placing the focus of the con-

of flashier visual effects. The set

JOSEPH FROM PAGE 1
Joseph’s perfume, and another
stated that she regretted coming
to Tech as a result of how players
are treated. Players also reported
numerous physical symptoms that
they attributed to stress caused by
Joseph: “players indicated feelings
of anxiety, depression, loss of ap-
petite, and weight fluctuation”
according to the report, and one
player even reported that an eat-
ing disorder which she previously
suffered from was made worse
as a result of Joseph’s treatment.
During the report’s interviews,
multiple members of staff voiced
concern that they believed Joseph
engaged in “verbal bullying” and
indicated that they had noticed
players exhibiting symptoms of
stress and anxiety.
Multiple players claimed that
Joseph would, on a given day, tar-
get a particular player for harsh
scrutiny during practice or a
game. Any mistakes by that player
resulted in Joseph cursing them
out in front of the team, resulting
in players feeling extreme emo-
tional stress.
According to the report, one
player indicated “her family ex-
pressed concern regarding her
well-being, because they had nev-
er heard her cry that much.” The
report noted that students report-
ed being called several obscene,
demeaning and profane names on
occasion, including “b----,” “p----
,” “cancer of the team,” and “w----
,” among others. Players indicated
that this name-calling would
occur with Joseph screaming in
players’ faces, and many players
characterized Joseph’s conduct as
“verbal abuse” without a purpose
in coaching players.
Many players also claimed that
Joseph would manipulate or ostra-
cize players. A majority of players
reported that Joseph would place
the blame for losses on individual
players after the game, even if that
player was not necessarily wholly
responsible for the loss. In another
incident, prior to a team event
off-campus, a player reported
that she had been assigned to go
to study hall instead at the last
minute without her notice, and
assistant coaches refused to give
the player a ride. However, during
a meeting, Joseph told other team
members that the player had not
wanted to attend the event, caus-
ing the player to feel ostracized by
the rest of the team. Staff mem-
bers corroborated many of these
player complaints.
Some players also reported sus-
picions that a team psychologist
who also works for other Tech ath-
letic programs, Dr. Belen Gutter,
did not keep confidential conver-
sations private and instead shared
them with Joseph. Two players
recounted specific incidents where
wording that they had used in a
privileged conversation with Gut-
ter was repeated back to them by
Joseph near-verbatim. While other
players reported feeling that Gut-
ter kept their information private,
a staff member did recall a team
meeting where Joseph reported
having been told something about
a player by Gutter, though it was
unclear if the information had
been shared by the player in confi-
dence with Gutter.
Many players also felt uncom-
fortable with the degree of team
donor involvement in the pro-
gram, alleging that the behavior
and degree of information shared
with team donors was inappro-
priate. In one incident, a player
reported that a donor had ap-
proached some team members on
a trip and asked where they were
going. Per the report, “when the
player indicated that they were
going to see the trainer for treat-
ment, the donor accused them of
going to the pool [or] beach and
lifted the shirt of one player to
check if she was wearing a swim-
suit under her shirt.”
Several of the players and staff
also felt concerned that Joseph

pressured players to return from
injury before they were ready,
risking further injury and pain.
According to the report, “employ-
ees with knowledge or experience
regarding player injuries reported
some concern that Joseph pres-
sured medical staff to clear players
to return to play,” though inter-
viewed medical staff asserted that
the final decision to clear players
was always theirs. Still, multiple
players reported Joseph pressur-
ing them to return to action or
claimed that Joseph would ques-

was “faking it” during a game or
practice. The investigators com-
piling the report did not cross-ref-
erence the allegations with medi-
cal records and concluded that
there was insufficient evidence to
confirm these claims.

Softball on track for the winning mark ADAMS FROM PAGE 16

JAKE HLAVATY
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Tech softball team has
started the season off extremely
strong. In division play, the Jack-
ets have won five games and lost
four. That places them at fourth
in the ACC, which houses some
of the best teams in collegiate soft-
ball. Overall, Tech finds them-
selves 22-12 going into the last
third of the season. The highlight
of the season to date has been the
fantastic tournament performanc-
es made by the team. In the I-75
Challenge, Tech managed to go
undefeated, taking games against
both Fordham and Hofstra.
Overall, the Jackets have not
come out of a tournament with a
losing record. In elite tournaments
like the River City Leadoff, the
Big Ten Challenge and the Mis-
sissippi State Tournament, Tech
has always managed to come out
on top. Just this weekend, Tech
managed to win the series against
perennial NCAA Tournament
qualifier UNC in Chapel Hill 2-1
to knock the Tar Heels down to
third place with only three con-
ference losses on the season. With
wins against Virginia and Virgin-
ia Tech, Tech is competitive with
top NCAA teams for the first time
in years.
Tech has been lead by excel-
lent performances at the plate.
Leadoff hitter and second base-
man Breanna Roper has a knack
for getting innings going with a
.455 batting average and .530 on
base percentage. Breanna leads
the team with both stats and has a
squad of heavy hitters to bring her
in. Third baseman Katie Krzus
leads the team in home runs and
runs batted in with 11 and 31 re-
spectively. She also leads the team
in slugging percentage with .770.
Breanna Roper runs home during a home game at Mewborn Field. Roper leads the Jackets
in batting average and on-base percentage; less than half her at-bats end with an out.
The back to back duo of Breanna
and Katie has lead to many explo-
sive innings and quick starts that
puts the momentum in favor of
the Jackets. First baseman Tricia
Awald, right fielder Crosby Huck-
abay, and left fielder Skye Webb
round out the rest of the top of
the lineup for Tech and have all
been crucial towards the stellar
offensive performance of the year.
From the rubber, Morgan
Bruce has had some fantastic out-
ings. With 11 wins on the season
and an amazingly low ERA of
only 2.90, Morgan has been lights
out against most rival offenses.
Juniors Amber Johns and Brooke
Barfield also have 5 wins apiece
and have been core to the great
success of the pitching rotation.
Alongside a fielding team that has
only made 31 errors on the season,
the Jackets have bolstered a strong
defense to defend the offensive
lead gained by their offense.

took over the Yellow Jackets last
year and is on her way to starting
a legacy. Last year, Morales led the

pearance since 2014 and recorded

five ACC series wins for the first
time since 2011. With a sixth place
finish in the ACC last season, Mo-
rales is looking to break into the
top 4 and continue growing a
winning program. As she closes
in on back to back 25-plus win
seasons, the previous Tech super-
star is looking to make the team
into a top tier program. If Morales
continues with the same rate of
growth, don’t be surprised to see
Tech break the top 25 and become
a top caliber program. With some
tough games ahead, they have a
chance to prove themselves.
a university,” he said. Even in his
brief time around Adams, he ob-
served “the love he had for other
people [and] the love other people
have for him.” Spring practice had
been scheduled to start on Tues-
day, and in a team meeting, play-
ers decided not to push that date
back but instead close the first day
of practice to the media. In the
short term, Collins plans to honor
Adams by leaving his chair in the
team’s meeting room unoccupied
and attaching decals bearing his
number to the team’s practice hel-
mets. He added that players had
ideas of how best to recognize
Adams during the season but that
those discussions were for a later
date. After all, Tech is more than
five months away from its season
opener against Clemson.
Brandon Adams was a rising se-
nior defensive lineman. He would
have been a member of the team’s
2019 starting lineup. As Glan-
ton once assured a reporter when
asked about the team’s depth at
defensive line, Adams certainly
had a shot at playing football pro-
fessionally, if he so wished.
But perhaps it is better to re-
member Adams for what he ac-
complished. His final home game
was an overtime win against rival
Virginia Tech. In his last game
against Georgia, he recovered a
fumble while playing with an in-
jured hand. And in every remark,
it was clear how much he was
loved and respected by friends,
teammates, nutritionists, coaches
and everyone else who worked
with him.
There will come a time when
this section writes about the im-
pact of Adams’ passing on the
defensive line, Tech’s run defense
and so forth. That time is not to-
day. Today, the worthy subject is
the impact of Adams’ passing on
the lives of the many people who
loved him. That impact is both
profound and widespread.

Remembering football player Brandon Adams
HARSHA SRIDHAR

In the atrium of McCamish
Pavilion, where there is sometimes
raucous cheer, there were quiet
murmurs and soft music, pierced
only by the staccato of consolato-
ry pats on the back. On Monday,
members of the Tech commu-
nity gathered to celebrate the life
of Brandon Adams, a third-year
business administration major
and football player who passed
away on Saturday. Adams was 21.
By one of the entrances, re-
porters surrounded Paul Johnson,
Adams’ last coach. Also in atten-
dance to pay their respects were
athletic director Todd Stansbury
and new coach Geoff Collins.
The ceremony began at 5:30
p.m. and lasted for a little over
an hour. It was emceed by Der-
rick Moore, the football team’s
chaplain. After a brief prayer and
reflection, Moore ceded the floor
to four speakers who memorial-
ized Adams and his time at Tech.
These individuals were Stansbury,
assistant athletic director for stu-
dent-athlete development Leah
Thomas, head football trainer
Mark Smith and defensive line-
men Brentavious Glanton and
Kyle Cerge-Henderson.
Each speaker had unique mem-
ories of Adams, but a few com-
mon themes ran through their re-
marks. Adams was gregarious and
known for his enveloping hugs;
his nickname, “Big B,” referred
more to his personality than his

March Madness or the NIT and
the women’s team faced end-of-
year chaos, amongst which they
declined a WNIT bid.
For the women’s team, the tu-
multuous season was marked by
head coach MaChelle Joseph be-
ing fired and two of the top four
scorers quitting the team. This
move by Tech came after the com-
pletion of an investigation into
mistreatment against players and
staff members.
The regular season ended with
Tech losing its last four games,
three of which came after Joseph
was placed on leave.
The Jackets lost to North Car-
olina in the second round of the
ACC tournament, with UNC
coming back from a 10-point
deficit. While the game might
have ended in a loss, it was still a
solid performance for Tech, with
