Unlike Techs previous application system, CollegeNET, Common Application users can ll out one application that can be sent to multiple institutions and simplify the application process. While applicants will be required to write di erent application essays for each college, the application process is simpli ed in that students can submit a single personal information and background application and pay admission fees through the same system. is step will bolster our efforts to enroll the best students nationally and internationally as we seek to meet the Institutes vision of de ning the technological research university of the 21st century, said Director of Undergraduate Admissions Rick Clark.

Ive never had the chance to write an editorial before. Ive always wanted to for some unbeknownst reason; perhaps its the ability to write freely without an editor telling me what to write about or how to write it. Now that Im nally a part of a newspaper publication and I nally have the chance, Ive no idea what to do with it. I want to make this editorial something I hope students can read and take away something profound. Maybe profound is a bit too strong - how about just insightful? Hopefully this doesnt end up horribly clichd because the hipster part of me will be disappointed. I can remember coming to Tech and having a plan to bust on through it, just hammer it out. I wanted to get my degree, get a job, make bank, drive nice cars and live like a Tech grad is meant to: like a boss. I came in as a varsity scholar-athlete and had the student-athlete attitude that went a little like this: go to class (most of the time), go to practice, train, eat, sleep less than I probably should, compete and repeat. row in the occasional weekend party or family get together just to mix things up. ank God I didnt stick with that dreadfully monotonous mindset. No plan survives the battleeld and Tech, as much as I love this school, is most certainly a battle eld. My rst year was spent on lots of swimming, lots of classes and lots of staying on campus. Looking back it was kind of depressing. Our campus is smack-dab in the middle of Atlanta and I never got out to

go see it. Im a native to Georgia and a student in the city, but I never got out to see anything. On top of that, I didnt even get involved in anything on campus; as you all know this school has all sorts of things to do. Incoming freshman this will be made very clear to you at FASET. I had such a strong initial drive to just crank out work like a machine that I neglected to see almost everything around me that could enhance the college experience. I feel like this happens to a great deal of students here. Were smart people, driven, ambitious, a bit prideful and, when were not procrastinating, were very direct. Tech students are known for getting stu done and getting it done right. If we spend all our time cranking out work like theres no tomorrow, hanging out on campus getting bored and going to the same parties over and over, then whats the point? e world demands people who are dynamic, and that game plan just doesnt seem to cut it. And so, in my second year, I nally got my butt in gear and switched it up. I picked up DJing and photography as a hobby, became an operator at 91.1

WREK, started writing for the Technique as a contributor and am now set to be the business manager next semester. is experience showed me that joining on-campus organizations is imperative. Do it. Network and get to know people, dont be afraid to get to know people in a variety of groups; this school takes pride in its diversity for a reason. For those of you going through FASET, join everything that seems interesting. Everything (especially the Technique). You dont necessarily have to commit to it all but at least get your feet wet. If anything, youll develop more than one circle of friends and contacts, which will be something youll be thankful for, when inevitable college drama hits one circle. eres more fun to be had in college than just the weekend or weekday for some party, and if you still end up feeling a creeping boredom then get out and go places. At the same time, I got my car on campus and drove around Atlanta. Photography gave me a platform and reason to go out into the city to see what it has to o er, and this city has an incredibly underestimated culture; theres so much great

architecture, so many characters around town and stories to be heard. eres a stigma when it comes to the homeless, in any city, but Ive had the fortune to talk to some and learn some Atlanta and life facts from a radically di erent perspective from what were used to. I say get out there and get to know youre city. Youre going to be here for at least a couple of years, you might as well get familiar with it. For me, doing all this may have made me super busy but the stresses that have come up are good stresses. I love the fact I that I have things to fallback on if one area doesnt go the right way and I de nitely love the experience Im creating for myself. I feel signi cantly more productive and like an actual part of this school; it feels good to be a part of something as big as a university. Now Im only a rising junior, and in light of that fact some of you readers may be thinking this is something a senior should be writing. Maybe some of the editors think this should be more of a swan song nal piece. However, Im too impatient to wait another two or three years of schooling. I simply felt the need to impart this to readers because this past year has ended up being pretty signi cant and I think itd be pretty cool if this leads to even one freshman having a better rst year than me, or older students to have better years to come. Whatever you do, just make your time at Georgia Tech an experience to remember while smiling, not cringing.

Im surprised I dont envy my summer vacation days from elementary school. ree months of a purely comatose state on the couch, mindlessly ipping through TV channels, sur ng the interwebs and essentially being completely chill and not worrying about a single thing. After a rough semester with weekly all-nighters, insane amounts of homework and questionably unnecessary social obligations, the image of laying on my couch and doing absolutely nothing was beyond paradisal. Now, Im up at midnight on a weekday writing an editorial, and will probably be up for some time working on the rst issue of the Niques 99th volume, after an 8-hour workday in a rigorous chemistry lab. I think, however, that there is something to be said about productivity in the summertime and, in particular, the kind of experience this season can foster and add to their life. ink about it. While a good eight to nine months of the year are devoted, for the average college student, to academic studies (lest he or she attend U[sic]GA), the remaining three months o er a respite from the relatively monotonous doldrums of classes. ree months of breaking from the routine and trying something di erent - not just for

pure relaxation and entertainment, but also for self development. is isnt to limit my opinion to those who get no play during fall or spring. Although many students are able to live it up during the semester, I feel that most are susceptible to falling into a routine. For example, while, as a friend of mine likes to say, getting turnt up on the weekends is plenty entertaining and the maintains the play in work hard, play hard, most students may not do anything that di ers from a methodical frat-hopping way of getting turnt up. But the summertime o ers a great way to expand on these scenarios - for me, I think the best way to capitalize on this free-time is through a job and using most spare-time in doing interesting activities. Having a summer job not only can help nance additional side activities you may want to engage in, as well as saving money for the regular semesters, but also help keep the mind mentally engaged and acute to critical thinking challenges that are encountered both in the workplace and in school. Although a 8-hour workday can be taxing, either mentally or physically, the true bene t is, and at times should be, the ability to leave work at work and enjoy home. is extra time after work, which during the semester is generally spent doing homework, extracurricular activities or the routine methods of relaxation, provides an opportunity to expand ones self out of the comfort zones that Tech sometimes makes it so easy to stay inside of. is is limited to merely socializing - but rather, taking advantage of unique activities that build some sort of interesting skill.

For example, think about how much more of an interesting person you would be if you took, say, a class on beer brewing or sushi rolling. And how about skydiving or taking a bike tour of the Atlanta Beltline. And this is just local - imagine the endless possibilities of being able to work in another location or abroad. Finally, this could even be a time to revisit old activities that were once cherished - such as volunteering, reading books for pleasure or woodworking. Strapped on cash? No problem. e beauty of living in a big city like Atlanta is the large deals that Living Social and Groupon have for various activities - notably, their 50 percent o for whatever activity. For me, researching during the week, taking an online class on Coursera to supplement the work I do in lab, and working at the Nique are ways Im able to keep my mind up and running. But on the weekends and days when I get o work, Im either relishing my time in the gym, exploring the Atlantan boroughs and experimenting with entirely random cuisine in the comfort of my kitchen. If you play your cards right and being at Tech you most likely are - you have your entire retirement to relax. So why waste the precious time of energetic youth in doing just that?

!"#$%&'!()*!" On Mothers Day, 19 people were injured in a mass shooting in a New Orleans parade. e shooter was not apprehended until later that week, and his arrest was not made public until Wednesday night. By early ursday morning, ve more suspects had been arrested, one as an additional shooter and the other four for harboring the shooters. I check the Daily Beast and NPR multiple times per day. I also peruse whatever interesting articles come up on Reddit or my Facebook feed. It was only the last that informed me about this shooting, when somebody linked to an article asking why people were not getting upset about this. In the past few days, the story has been in the very bottom of the extended Cheat Sheet at the Daily Beast, far below the top 10 headlines. e news barely seemed to notice that innocent people celebrating their mothers in a community parade were violently shot at, and only retained their lives by virtue of luck and talented rst responders. e perpetrators of this crime were at large for quite some time, yet the news media did not rise up in collective alarm. e lack of compassion for urban violence in America is astounding and disgusting. It should not matter that such shootings have less of an Oh, this could happen to me! e ect. Violence is violence, regardless of whether it is terrorism or gangrelated or anything. Do you think that when a six-month old baby is killed in Chicago, family and friends just accept such senseless violence as a fact of urban life? To them, it is just as tragic as the Boston bombing or any act of terrorism. But in suburban and rural towns across America, people shrug and say, Eh, its Chicago (or Detroit or New Orleans or Los Angeles). e death and injury of innocents because of violent assault, gun-related or otherwise, should be treated and respected with compassion regardless of its origin. at does not mean that news reports should invade the lives of these victims, or spend hours and days poring over the mindsets and personal lives of violent criminals. ere is a di erence between unconstructive and disrespectful sensationalizing, and respectfully compassionate coverage and acknowledgement of the intense pain violent crimes bring to individuals. Regardless of where they live, people are people. Urban violence is just as harrowing and unacceptable as any violence. I am choosing not to weigh in on the debate over gun policy here, nor stating a political opinion. Instead, I want to ask why it takes a tragedy like the Newtown, Conn., shootings to jolt Americas public consciousness. I want to ask why deaths from urban violence do not sicken people across the country and make them cry out loudly for reform. Quite frankly, something that is strictly an act of street violence, as Mary Beth Romig of the FBI labeled the New Orleans shooting, is not any less of a tragedy than a mass shooting in a suburban public space. Obviously, we cannot give the same level of attention or emotion to every tragedy. As humans, we do not have the capacity to constantly feel others pain so deeply. However, realizing the limits of our emotion is not a free pass to show an astounding lack of compassion for urban violence. Just as no runners at the Boston Marathon expected what happened that day, nobody at the Mothers Day parade in New Orleans expected a shootout. e location does not change the humanity and innocence of those attending the parade. Simply put, the national news media as a whole failed astoundingly in their coverage of this tragedy. ere were more articles and comments on Angelina Jolies double mastectomy than there were of the Mothers Day shooting. I do not advocate for the sensationalizing of tragedies, nor the morbid fascination America has with mass murderers or psychopaths. However, for the safety and knowledge of the American public, mass shootings need to be reported on equally, whether they are strictly street violence or terrorist attacks.

!"#$%&'()*"+ With New Years resolutions nearly six months old, many students on campus may be pleased to hear that the CRC isnt shutting down shop on classes and intramurals for the summer. In fact, the summer time is one of the CRCs busiest times of the year, and despite the decreased number of students on campus in the summer, the CRC still has plenty of activities for members to participate in. We still have a lot of our tness programs ongoing during the summer, said Christie Stewart, Assistant Director for Healthy Lifestyle Programs. We look for programs and activities that will keep our Georgia Tech community active and healthy over the summer. is summers tness classes include group tness classes like boot camps, indoor cycling classes and cardio kickboxing, as well as skill-based classes, in which an instructor teaches arts like capoeria, street styles dance and boxing. e CRCs personal trainers are also available this summer to assist members with their tness goals.

In addition to the many activities and teams o ered by the CRC, students looking to work out a few times a week may have a CRC experience that is noticeably less crowded since fewer students on campus means fewer students using the CRCs facilities. e best part about the CRC during the summer months is that the facility is less crowded, said Michael Pitts, a fourth-year BA major. You can exercise at your own leisure. Although the weight room or running track may appear to be a bit less crowded during the summer months, CRC Director Michael Edwards is eager to remind students that the CRCs business schedule is as busy as ever. e summertime is not exactly a slow time for us.

Director of Campus Recreation. Edwards explained that the CRC splits its facility usage into three main sectors: daily programming and informal recreation, summer camps and athletic events. Almost every summer camp on campus will eventually visit the CRC, and the CRC also rents out space for athletic events such as age-group swimming meets. In fact, the CRC hosts the annual YMCA National Championships for swimming.

e CRC is also home to several basketball and volleyball camps for high school varsity athletes. In an interesting tangent, Edwards explained that holding such events at the CRC is crucial to sustaining the CRCs operations from year to year. When we look at those external events, they all pay to use the facility, Edwards said. ats where we make a lot of our budget money, and that money is utilized to operate the facility, keeping student fees down.... If theres a

surplus in that revenue, that goes into a reserve account. [From that reserve account,] we were able to put a million dollars towards the [new] Roe Stamps Field. In the end, those revenue dollars get turned right around for the bene t of the student.

Since its founding, Tech has been a predominately science-based institute of learning, and today it is known as one of the leading engineering colleges in the world. But this focus on science and engineering has not sti ed creativity in the liberal arts. In fact, there are two professors who would claim the opposite. e Technique recently discussed with these professors how working at Tech and having a background in engineering and sciences informed their creative endeavors.
Dr. Cressler is an Electrical and Computer Engineer professor. His rst novel, Emeralds of the Alhambra, will be released June 15. ere will be a signing at the Georgia Tech Barnes and Noble on June 25 at 6:30 pm. Can you brie y explain what your novel is about? Emeralds is set in the resplendent Alhambra Palace, in Granada, Spain, during the Castilian Civil War (1367-1369), a time when, remarkably, Muslims took up their swords to ght alongside Christians. e story centers on the relationship between William Chandon, a wounded Christian knight brought to Granada, and the Su Muslim princess, Layla al-Khatib. How long have you been working on this novel? I started in the fall of 2009 on Emeralds, and spent almost nine months on background research before laying pen to paper. e credenza in my o ce at home where I write is lined with over ten feet of references on all things al-Andalus which I digested... I nished the book in September of 2012. Why make this story into a trilogy? [ is is] a remarkable period of cultural and intellectual enlightenment smack in the middle of the European Dark Ages. is period is also the pinnacle of convivencia (coexistence), the time when Muslims, Jews and Christians lived together in harmony. I also tell the story of how it all began to unravel. So Anthems of al-Andalus is not a trilogy in the traditional sense, with one book following the next chronologically... ere will, however, be a linkage between all three books, so dont despair! How does Emeralds of the Alhambra, a historical novel set in 14th century Spain, relate to contemporary America? As all would agree, our modern world is stained with the blood of religious con ict and fanaticism, and yet we managed to forget that for hundreds of years in medieval Spain, Christians, Muslims and Jews found a way to live together in relative peace, sharing languages and customs, whispering words of love across religious boundaries, embracing a level of mutual acceptance and respect unimaginable today...Our world aches for a future graced with tolerance and peace. Is your work relevant to the students and sta at Tech? YES! Emeralds is relevant to everyone, young or old, male or female, people of all cultures, people of all religions. Sound bold? Well, I think 99.9% of people would agree that a more peaceful planet would be an excellent thing. While the triggers for human con ict is inevitably complicated, one thing is certain religious con ict is inked all over the historical record, and since 9/11 especially, religious con ict has been at the forefront of this conversation. Emeralds... speaks to two fundamental ideas: 1) peaceful coexistence is demonstrably possible between religions, and 2) Love has the power to transform the human heart and thereby cross cultural and religious boundaries in many beautiful ways. ese are the BIG themes that most interest me. How has your experience in a scienti c eld shaped your creative work? I am very much a detail person, so the facts and gures and dates and people of history have always been easy for me to manage. History is my second love. is is an epic story, so being able to balance multiple intricate plot threads with a large cast of characters was important. I think my scienti c background and sensibilities helped me in my description of the magical art and architecture of the Alhambra Palace. Dr. Ludovice is a Chemical and Biomolecular Engineer ing professor. He wrote his stand-up act Feel the Power of the Dork Side and will be performing it June 5-9 at the 2013 Atlanta Fringe Festival. How long have you been doing standup? I started doing stand-up in January 2004, when I went to a comedy open mic at the Funny Farm Comedy Club in Roswell, GA. I later worked there as an occasional opener, and then did some feature and headliner work on the road in the southeast. Do you nd science to be an untapped topic for comedy? It is not a mainstream topic, but it is hardly untapped. I joined a large number of Georgia Tech personnel at the U.S.A. Science & Engineering Festival in Washington DC in spring of 2012, and did four humorous presentations on science and engineering including topics such as statistics, chemical engineering, polymer science and the role of humor in the classroom. Why do you think science is largely unused as a topic for stand-up? While it is not unused, its use is certainly limited. e reason for its lack of popularity is a double-edged sword. People nd science complicated and un-interesting so it is not a good topic for jokes. e best topic for jokes is one that everyone can relate to. Ironically, the very reason most people cant relate to science...is that we have done little to popularize it. Once we popularize it, many scientists get angry because they see this as dumbing it down. What are some of the scienti c concepts you use in your show? For me, no science or engineering topic is o limits. I do jokes about di erential equations, eigenvectors, polymer science and statistical mechanics. However, I do vary the approach depending on the audience...For audiences at Georgia Tech and MIT I actually analyze some real data on pet preferences to explain Dog People vs. Cat People. While I may not go into that level of detail for a general audience, I always explain how eharmony.com uses this mathematical technique to match you with your perfect mate. It results in some funny jokes about how the nerd you would never date in H.S. is now in charge of your lovelife. Is your work relevant to the students and sta at Tech? Yes, I think the Georgia Tech community enjoys someone who pokes a bit of fun at fellow nerds and life on a college campus. e sta likes when I make jokes about parking, and I use some of my jokes to keep my students awake during 8am classes. My nearly decade of work in comedy has taught me that comedians are smarter than most people think, and nerds are funnier than most people think. How has your experience in a scienti c eld shaped your creative work? It has only helped by providing material and perspective for my creative work. Additionally, my creative work has shown me how humor can be used as creative energy to produce innovative technical solutions... By using humorous situations, I believe we can improve technical education at Georgia Tech...In addition to making the excercise a bit lighter, it also makes [students] less afraid of drawing conclusions from the analysis. Students are often afraid their conclusion will be criticized by the instructor, who they see as an expert in the eld. However, they dont see the instructor as an expert on a separate set of humorous data, and this makes them less afraid of making a conclusion.

!"#$%&'($&#)*+%&$,% Millions of fans prayers were answered this past Sunday, May 26 with the release of the longanticipated new season of Arrested Development. After its infamous and shocking cancellation by FOX in 2006 after three short seasons, the show was tossed around in network limbo for years. Finally, in 2012, when most viewers had all but forgotten about the once-bright Emmy winner, the online video streaming site Netix picked up Development for a 15-episode fourth season. All 15 episodes are now available to Net ix subscribers, and early reviews of the season have been mixed to positive, but more important than critical reception, this revival begs several questions about the future of the television industry. Mainly, is this new method of online distribution more successful than regular broadcast television, and if so, what does the future hold for the broadcast stations that have kept such a rm grasp on the television industry for the last half century? is Development rescue is not Net ixs rst attempt at television; the website currently airs several original shows and lms, most notably the political drama series House of Cards, which has received critical praise and is expected to be a contender come Emmy season.

shows cater to gaze vs. glance theory of entertainment production; regular television requires viewers to sit in one spot and invest 30 to 60 minutes of their time to attain a weekly dose of the show in question, while webseries can be watched on the viewers own time and in as high or low a quantity as the viewer prefers. However, the downside to online television is the price of subscription to the distribution sites, and in many cases this is not a problem as many of the shows are released for public viewing free of charge. It seems that webseries are so di erent from their broadcasted counterparts that there may not be any competition; the Internet is simply the inevitable next step in the evolution of the television industry.
