Freedom of Expression Must be Maintained Diversity is generally a good thing in many areas of society when that society is itself diverse. It reflects the society in which we live. It, however, must be achieved in a democratic and impartial manner. I believe that Georgia Tech takes a fair and balanced approach in this [...]

Send in the Freshmen One of the strategies I heard (in whispers) was spreading a rumor that a six-pack of Coors beer was hidden in the phone booth [In Retrospect, March/April issue]. Freshmen (who were generally smaller) would rush in, looking for the beer, increasing the packing density approximately 20 percent. I’m not sure how [...]

Success Breeds Success in All Sports The Georgia Tech Alumni Magazine is an outstanding publication. Thank you. The article on Peter Rhee was magnificent. What I’m writing about, a reflection on Tech leaving the Southeastern Conference, seems trivial by comparison. However, my impression is that the story needs to be further fleshed out. I was [...]

We Need More CO2 Jon Parker’s response [January/February] to the Judith Curry climate article was without foundation. He centers on C02 as the culprit and begs that the “scientific” questions be answered. The real question is how did CO2 become the villain? CO2 is only 385 parts per million of the atmosphere. Man-made CO2 from [...]

Curry Commands Respect As a retired engineer who follows the global warming debate, I read with interest the well-written article about Judith Curry in the November/December Alumni Magazine. I have been following her participation in the public discussion and since “Climategate” find it refreshingly objective. Through her academic stature, her scientific papers and the positions [...]

Mrs. Heisman Picked Atlanta Seems to me I read, in a much earlier edition of our magazine, that Heisman left Tech and coached at Auburn for some time before going to New York. The explanation given [in 125 Pieces of Tech History] was that he had to leave Atlanta as part of a divorce settlement [...]

Book Discussion Thanks for creating the most-read school publication in our home. We oldies, the kids and grandkids always find something of interest. For example, the July/August issue included the 101 Books Tech Alums Should Read Before They Lay Dying. The article actually started a lively discussion on the subject of reading lists and got [...]

Friendships Built at Burge I really enjoyed your article about the Burge Apartments. It brought back a lot of memories, especially about professor J.H. Henika. I entered Georgia Tech after World War II in the industrial option of mechanical engineering and had Uncle Heinie’s wood shop just before he retired. His mind was still razor [...]
