Talk:Traditions of the Georgia Institute of Technology

message: I used Cornelliana as a model for this page. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 03:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Model 

message: Article states the Swarm was founded in 2000.  I graduated in 2000 and I remember it from far earlier.  I think my Freshman room mate even joined it sophmore year (1997-1998). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 167.181.12.201 (talk) 16:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Swarm 

message: I'm not sure if this is correct, but when I was living on west campus last year I recall some letters being scratched off everywhere.  I'm a little bit of an airhead so I never really paid attention to what letter it was.  Anyone know if it was in fact t?  Could someone take pictures or something?  I think that's kind of neat information about tech continuing it's tradition currently in different ways. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.92.148.66 (talk) 09:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I know what you're talking about, but I think a lot, if not most, students consider it annoying vandalism more than a tradition. Then again, I feel that it's a reaction by students to the administration's discouragement of the practice. So, I suppose you could say students will steal any T... and given that they/we can't have The One T... —Disavian (talk/contribs) 14:16, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Also, there's this picture from a recent football game. Perhaps we could throw that in there? —Disavian (talk/contribs) 14:16, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The new T Tradition?

message: To impress upon you the need to find references for our traditions, I'd like do direct your attention to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cornelliana. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 20:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Have a look at this 'Nique article I found; it's mostly about stealing the T: Presidential opinions change over time and here's a North Avenue Review article about Tech jargon: NAR: The Tech Dictionary —Disavian (talk/contribs) 00:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Here's a nique article on jargon: You certainly won't find these in Webster's... —Disavian (talk/contribs) 05:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Find references! 

message: Should we include the Pi Mile on this page? It's been around for 35 years, so it's a pretty long-standing tradition. —Gintar77 09:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like a good idea-- I had no idea it had been around so long. There seem to be a lot of google results for it, so it should be easy to reference. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 17:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I added it to the todo list. Feel free to write something up on it. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 19:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Nicely written. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 15:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks! :-) —Gintar77 15:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pi Mile Road Race 

message: I first realized something was amiss when I saw no reference to Clyde walks. I then noticed no Clyde chains or Clyde bumps. Finally, I realized there's not even an article on Clyde Robbins! (He was rumored amongst the students to have a large amount of his funds invested in brick factories.) Maybe when I have some time, I'll try to rectify this. If one of y'all wants to beat me to it, have at it! Ben Hocking (talk|contribs) 21:22, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's another article from the Technique on the man and his creations. Ben Hocking (talk|contribs) 21:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clyde Robbins 

message: An anon (User:12.184.170.5) added the following:
Is it true; if so, is it a tradition? If so, are there references for it? —Disavian (talk/contribs) 18:12, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A tradition is not made in one season.  Let's wait and see imho.--Excaliburhorn 21:59, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mash On The Gas 

message: As there is currently a bit of edit-warring going on about this, a talk page discussion is warranted. I seem to recall in the past a decision not to indiscriminately include the winners of homecoming competitions. Specifically, I think it was in regard to the Freshman Cake Race. Winners are only mentioned or listed if they are or became notable in some other context, such as Sam Nunn. Otherwise, this article will become an absolute mess where every past and current winner of homecoming competitions will come on and try to add their name or organization just to be on here. Completely unnecessary. LaMenta3 20:20, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There would be seventy five years of Wreck parade winners, ninety plus years of cake race winners, forty or so years of mini 500 winners.  That's a lot of research and I'm sure there will be holes where Techniques/Blueprints didn't print winners.  It would be a daunting task that is not worth the net result.--Excaliburhorn 21:03, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Winners of homecoming competitions

message: The following unsourced content was added to Lyman Hall and this article; do we have any "sources" for this?
—Disavian (talk/contribs) 02:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've never heard of the ghost but I've heard of the insubordinate seniors.--Excaliburhorn 02:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Ghost of [[Lyman Hall (academic)|Lyman Hall]] 

message: Bull dog club.  I think that article is vandalism.  I don't believe it existed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.155.56.3 (talk • contribs) 11:57, 7 February 2008
:It looks pretty thoroughly sourced to me. —C.Fred (talk) 17:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Keep in mind that uga didn't start caling themselves Bulldogs until 1920, 10 years after the club was founded.  You can check out the first Bull Dog Club in the 1911 Blueprint at http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/14409. --Excaliburhorn (talk) 21:11, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bull dog club 

message: A nice addition to "The Hill" would be the practice of sledding downhill on snow days (traditionally using trays borrowed from the Student Center cafeteria).  I am sure there were photos of this in the Nique.  Also, the related practice of declaring a snow day based upon whether the shuttle bus could make it up the Hill.Schim (talk) 21:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Hill 

message: Is there a compelling reason why the lyrics to the fight song, etc. are on this page and not farmed out to Wikisource? —C.Fred (talk) 17:22, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It was a simple way of listing the tradition without actually writing about it. This isn't a problem for Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech, where we have what amounts to a Featured Article on the song, but the others could use a little help in the history/etc department. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 18:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lyrics 

message: somebody has slightly lost the plot here; do we really need such a massive article on "Georgia Tech" traditions?! it's what most people would think of as a modern, ie red brick, institution; the traditions are just a few years old and really only of interest to students and possibly a few alumni of that college;
the nicknames that you have for the rival Georgia uni: is that seriously the subject of an encyclopaedia article? why? Mr Poechalkdust (talk) 05:53, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the article has a lot of subject headings. We can work on that issue but length, to me, is irrelevant.  Look at these articles: Traditions of Texas A&M University, Cornelliana, etc. (refer to the Category Traditions_by_university_or_college_in_the_United_States). Secondly, a lot of the GT traditions are almost 100 years old (Freshmen Cake Race, fight songs) and for US colleges/universities, that is a long time.--Excaliburhorn (talk) 12:24, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Howdy everyone. GT is changing its daily class schedule and with it the steam whistle schedule:

Specifically, this page lists when the whistle will go off now:

I don't have the time at the moment to ensure how I write this on the page will be perfect, and it'll be when the semester starts that we'll hear it and confirm it's true. So I at least wanted to note this for now.
