In Disney Pixar’s movie “In-side Out,” the protagonist, Ri-ley, moves to San Francisco withher parents, turning her worldupside down. At rst, her emo-tions disagree about how to han-dle this change;however, theemotions learn toembrace their dif-ferences to help

Riley adapt intothis new town.Tey realize thattheir diff erencesare their great-est strength. Tispowerful message

 was a part of theinspiration for our campaignmotto, #gtinsideout.Te idea of

 working from the inside out ishow we plan to institute a posi-tive cultural change on campusand how we plan on celebratingour diff erences as an Institute.By using our experiences andinteractions with the entire stu-dent body, we can represent yourinterests and make real changesthrough avenues that have notbeen utilized in the past.

It’s true — we do not havemore SGA experience thanother tickets. But we aren’t run-ning from that; we are embrac-ing it. We know the proceduralstructures and guidelines of theorganization, and we believe wecan bring a new perspective toan organization that does thingsthe same way every year.

 We plan to advance the or-ganization by using existingresources and foundations, butalso implementing new ones

 where there is void, to tacklecampus issues in a more com-prehensive manner. It is not

 just a question of athletes versusnon-athletes, Greek versus non-Greek, mental health resourcesversus the lack thereof, etc. that

 we should be contemplating, but

how multiple aspects of studentlife interact to create the studentexperience at Tech. In our plat-form, we pay special attentionto where wellness, transparencyand campus communities over-

lap. We wantto address theseissues at theirroots with thecomplex solu-

tions they need,instead of stick-ing a temporaryband aid overthe situation.Tis is why ourplatform in-cludes specic

and tangible action items that we can ac complish to take stepstoward progress. We hope tolay the foundation for a positiveculture change at Georgia Tech.Tis doesn’t happen overnight,and we recognize that. But wecan begin now by making somechanges on our campus that willhave an even longer-lasting im-pact for future generations of

 Yellow Jackets. We are so excited to be ru n-

ning for Student Body Presidentand Vice President. We hope torepresent you, the entirety of thestudent body, and facilitate thechanges and tackle the problemsyou are passionate about duringour time in SGA . We plan to useour experiences in leadershipand involvement from all overcampus to tackle SGA from anew perspective that hasn’t beendone in the past.

 We love Georgia Tech andour Yellow Jacket community,but we also realize that there areproblems or struggles that ourcampus faces that we can tackle.

 Join us in our journey to em-brace everything this Institutehas to off er. Let’s make GeorgiaTech even better, from the in-

side out.

Tech hired a guy, BrianGregory who, having worked

 with Heathcote and Izzo, comes with as good a “pedigree’ asthere is in college basketball. He

 willing ly came into a programthat was facingNCAA sanctionsthanks to APRviolations, limit-ing his ability to

recruit. Since be-ing at Tech, theteam’s APR hasbeen at or closeto 1000 and everysenior that hasplayed for him atTech has graduat-ed. He is loved and respected byhis players, and he runs a cleanprogram.

Director of Athletics, Mike-Bobinski wasn’t happy with theprogress in the rst four yearsbut gave Gregory another yearto show signicant improve-ment. Te team won 21 gamesplaying the 3rd toughest sched-ule in the country, had 6 top 50

 wins, beat 5 Tournament teamsand 2 of those tournament

teams advanced to the elite 8.Bobinski red him anyway,but to hire whom? He has NOIDEA! Maybe the wrong guygot red!

I have heard people sayingthat we need to get back to theglory days of Cremins. He was agreat coach, but let me remindyou, Georgia Tech got rid ofhim! Let me also remind youthat in his 19 seasons there, Cr-emins nished in the top half ofthe conference only six times.Consider also that the ACC didnot look like it does today.Tere

 was no Syracuse, Notre Dame,Pitt or Louisville.

Do you know how manytimes Cremins and Hewitt won21 or more games in their com-

bined 30 years? Eight times.

Tey say, “Brian Gregorycan’t recruit” (he has 3 top 150kids coming) and this one,

 which is one of my f avorites, “ We don’t recruit Georgia Kids.”Have you people looked at the

roster? With afew exceptions,there are Geor-gia kids.

 We don’t get

the best Georgiaplayers becauseof the Cost of

 Attending Rule.Te actual costfor attending aschool is set bythe administra-

tion, not the coach. Diff erentschools are able to give more“nancial assistance” than oth-ers. Georgia Tech is on the lowerend of the spectrum than manyschools to which we “lose kids.”

So what is Bobinski to donow that he has red an excel-lent coach who had the programgoing in the right direction?

 Your guess is as good as his! Irecommend that he resign andadmit that he is in over his head.

Since that isn’t likely, the ad-ministration should show himthe door. Bobinski has set themen’s basketball program back

 with this half-baked decision.Te wrong man was red.

Bobinski’s incompetence is onfull display as we see name af-ter name turning down the job.Basketball people KNOW hecan’t be trusted.

I’ve been in and around col-lege basketball for a long timeand have a pretty good feel forthe game. Getting my start atEmmanuel College, and hav-ing been in college ball for 13years, I’m very familiar with thedynamics at play here. My opin-ion is based on knowledge andunderstanding, not the emotion

of a fan.

 We’re both honored andhumbled by the opportunity tocampaign to be your StudentBody President and ExecutiveVice President. We President’sCabinet as VP of Internal Af-fairs and VP of Communica-tions respectively. Tis gives us agreat understanding of the intri-cacies of SGA and extensive ex-perience working with faculty,sta ff  and administration to deal

 with a range of campus issues.Te tagline of the campaign is“We Are Tech,” which embod-ies the fact that we have worked

 with a number of d iff erent stu-dent communities across cam-pus to develop this platform and

 would like to continue to work with these students if elected.Our campaign aims to servestudents and student organiza-tions by connecting them withthe resources they need to besuccessful.Te platform focuses on sev-

en tenants. We have highlightedsome of those points below.

Mental Health: We want tofocus on working with the new-

ly formed Center for Communi-ty Health and Wellbeing to roll-out a wellness survey to asses the

state of mental health on cam-pus. One of the programs we en-vision coming out of this surveyis the “Innovator” program that

 will t rain student leaders in dif-ferent mental health resourceson campus to help them deal

 with the everyday mental stre ss-es of their members.

Campus safety: We want toensure the safety and securityof all students on campus, pri-marily in the area of late nightcampus transportation. Cur-rently, there are not enoughStingerettes to meet the demandof students who use them, whichmakes safe transportation diffi-

cult. We plan on working withParking and Transportation toform a partnership with Uber

as a supplement to the currentStingerette system.

 Academics: Study space forstudents will be a growing prob-lem as parts of the library areclosed and plans for a new Stu-dent Center are forthcoming. Itis already hard enough to ndstudy space in Clough, espe-cially if you are in a group. Weplan on working with adminis-tration to open up study spacein buildings that go unused atnight for organizations, groupstudy and individual study. Tisissue needs to be addressed be-fore it becomes an even biggerproblem.

Empowering Students: Inthe past year, a lot of controver-sial issues have come up on our

campus ranging from discrimi-nation to tensions with the statelegislature. We want to give stu-dents an opportunity to voicetheir concerns about anythingthey feel is an issue on campusby implementing a system simi-lar to that of whitehouse.gov  and of BART (Bias AssessmentResponse Team) from OhioState. Students will be able tostart a petition, amass signaturesand have the petition discussedand voted on should it reach acertain threshold. If this peti-tion passes, we will work withthe administration to addressthe concern and deal with it ina satisfactory manner.

Our campaign has been ayear’s work in progress. We’vemet with numerous administra-tors and student leaders acrosscampus to give you a platformthat is both comprehensive andachievable. Tis campaign ismuch more than providing anew perspective on campus is-sues or having the most expe-rience, it is about who is mostprepared to take on this role for

the next year.T

is platform wascreated to empower students, sofeel free to reach out to us!

 We couldn’t be more honoredto be running for Student BodyPresident and Vice President.

 With our combined 5 years ofinternal SGA experience and ex-ternal SGA outlook through ex-tracurriculars such as the KoreanUndergraduate Student Asso-ciation, Ramblin Reck Club, GTTour Guides, Campus Outreach,

 Journey Christian Fellowship, PhiMu and more, you won’t nd amore balanced and involved ticket

on the ballot! With a lot of brainstorm-ing and a thumbs up from DeanStein, we have narrowed our vi-sion for campus into three maincomponents: Transparency, Safe-ty and Inclusivity.

 We decided to narrow ourpromise to three over archingplatforms because we don’t wantto address campus issues at a sur-face level. We want to make apromise that we can deliver. Asrepresentatives of the undergradu-ate student body, we look forwardto advocating for student driveninitiatives and believe that ourcondensed platform will provideus the freedom to do just that.

Of our three platforms, trans-parency is our priority because

 we believe that SGA is of the stu-

dents, for the students and by thestudents. Tis means that unlessthe student body knows exactly

 what SGA does, and in turn, isable to clearly express their voice,

 we as SGA a re fail ing to do what we were originally created to do.By improving transparency, wehope to make SGA more efficientand eff ective in representing thestudent opinion and the fundingprocess, working to empower thestudent organizations and to im-

prove the student experience.Some ideas we have in increas-ing transparency is to use SGAcommittees to reach out to dif-ferent student organizations. Wealso want to instill the intent andpurpose of SGA starting with ourfreshman Yellow Jackets, by reach-ing out to them through GeorgiaTech mandated avenues such asGT 1000 classes FASET. Fur-thermore, we want to be proactivein gaining student feedback, andsome ideas we have to do that areapproval ratings of the President/SGA and a mid-year survey that

 will be sent out to gauge studentconcerns on campus and to di-rectly receive feedback.

Safety includes more than justlate night transportation and cre-

ation of safe spaces. Safety also in-

cludes the wellbeing of our fellowstudents. We strive to put studentmental health at the forefront ofthis Institute’s priorities, makingsure that students can take partin the creation of more mentalhealth resources and of safe spacesin the student center re(in)nova-tion process.

Under inclusivity, our goal is toembrace Tech’s diversity in back-grounds, beliefs and talents bypartnering with diff erent studentorganizations on campus to fostercross cultural and organizationalevents. We believe that commit-tees under the executive branchshould be more focused on reach-ing out to diff erent student orga-nizations on campus so that SGAcan partner with them to make animpact on campus. SGA shouldnot be the event planners andholders; SGA should be fosteringand encouraging student involve-ment. So no matter your race,

background, or passion, whetheryou are greek or non-greek, Eastor West Campus, everyone shouldhave the same voice and ability todo what they enjoy throughouttheir time here.

 We want to take a moment tothank all of you for making thiscampaign not only memorable,but enjoyable. We love GeorgiaTech, we love our Yellow Jackets,and we have loved having the op-portunity to pay it forward! While

 we would deeply appreciate yourvote come April 8th, we value aneducated vote even more! So weencourage you to explore youroptions and to learn more about

 what we stand for by visitingwww.BrianMegan2016.com.

Together we can put the ‘us’

back in ‘campus.’

Kurios TicketsSCPC along with SGA have

planned a great event wherestudents could see the Cirquedu Soleil show for a good deal.Nearly everyone was hyped forthis event, but of course there

 were limited tickets. Te issue was once again the site sell-ing the tickets. Buyers didn’tknow if they got a ticket or notbecause the site crashed andbuyers didn’t know what wasgoing on because conrmatione-mails weren’t being sent.

Scholarship UpgradesPenny and E. Roe Stamps

doubled their annual grantto the President’s ScholarsProgram now upgrading 40incoming freshmen studentsfrom President’s Scholarshipsto Stamps Scholarships. TePresident’s Scholarship Pro-gram will now be renamed theStamps President’s ScholarshipProgram to recognize the Sat-mps family. It is great to seestudents being recognized andinvested in.

MI Religious BillIt’s truly saddening that in

this day in age, we still deal with discrimination and thattoo at a government level.Mississippi, followed NorthCarolina’s suit and passed their‘Religious Freedom’ bill whichironically doesn’t practice free-dom. Tis anti-LGBT law isa step in the wrong direction.

 We live in nation of hope andpossibilities, yet Mississippi’sdecision to pass this bill indi-cates otherwise.

 Annie’s 1st Break 

Willee Amsden

GENRE: Romantic, Comedy,Mystery

PUBLISHER: Willee Amsden

RELEASE DATE: Sept. 14

OUR TAKE: «««««

!"#$% '()%

 !""#"$!%$ '%$'($!#%)'%$ '*#$+(

“Annie’s 1st Break” attemptsto ll three genres while in realitytting in only that of romance. Itsauthor, Willee Amsden, aimed alittle too high for this novel, miss-ing humor and instead hittingbizarre misadventure, and over-shooting mystery by giving far toomuch information.

If one does not know the se-ries title, “Te Annie McCauleyRomantic Comedy Mysteries,”it is entirely possible to read the

 whole book without realizingthat it was meant as a mystery.

T

e plot of Amsden’s bookcenters on Annie, a Texan tryingto become a New York model.Te rst fth of the novel showsher endeavors to land a job as theDi Ponti Cosmetics and Fashionmodel which goes horribly wrong

 when she encounters Brittany, herarch nemesis, who puts super glueon a toilet seat. Let the hilarity en-sue, or at least, try to see the hu-mor in its lackluster presentation.

Even after this adventure, which promptly goes viral on You-Tube, Tomi Di Ponti, the CEO ofDi Ponti Cosmetics and Fashionand one of Annie’s love interests,still hires Annie as a czarina fortheir newest line of products. Tisgoes about as well as could be ex-pected in a romance as Brittany,through Annie’s own meddling,also becomes a Di Ponti model.

 An old family feud comesback to haunt Annie’s love in-terest, Tomi, when Annie andher best friend are kidnapped.In a stereotypical fashion, she isinstructed to make sure the DiPonti business fails or her friend

 will be killed. Instead, Annie hiresa private investigator duo (herother love interest, the burly Lu-ther Grolsch, and his mother) toprotect her.

Te remainder of the story is Annie’s strugg le to decide if sheloves Luther or Tomi, even thoughit was made apparent upon theirrst encounter and reinforced insubsequent meetings that she doesnot like Luther in the slightest.

 What makes the romance even

less interesting is the fact that An-nie often admits that Tomi is nota particularly good match for herdespite his physical attractiveness.

Considering that this article was origina lly intended to be a re-view of the whole series so far (fourbook in total), it is rather apparentthat this series is not particularly

 worth reading. While the plotmight be exciting for those whoenjoy the romance genre, the writ-

ing itself could use a little workand the only character who seemsto have more depth than a one-

 word descriptor is Annie herself, who narrates the novel and canbe described in two: incompetentand clueless.

Te many grammatical errorsand typos could be attributed tothe act of transcribing the novelinto an ebook, but there are someother instances, such as using“ascend” instead of “descend”

numerous times, that are quiteinexplicable. Regardless of whythese twists of English are present,they detract from the story sincethe reader becomes more focusedon them than on the characters,

 who might, at the time, be facingterrible trials.

Te remainder of the currentbooks in “Te Annie McCau-ley Romantic Comedy Myster-ies” were each published at thesame time last September. While

the fth novel has not yet beenpublished, the author has been

 writing it, and, a lthough no datehas yet been specied, he plans torelease it soon.

It appears that Amsden’s plansare to keep writing the adventuresof Annie, the fashion model, in-denitely, as he has off handedlymentioned a tenth book whenresponding to comments abouthis plans to evolve his characterthroughout the series.

Readers will want a break from ‘Annie’s 1st Break’

OUR TAKE: «««««

!"#$ &'(()*

!"#$%&'($) +%&$,%

It is rare to nd a college stu-dent who is not at least tangential-ly acquainted with the rock band

 Weezer. As children of the 90s,current students grew up along-side the band, and much of theirmusic can be associated with ourformative years.

For those who somehow donot know, Weezer is a band thatcame to prominence in the mid1990s with their rst album, theso-called “Weezer,” also known

as the “T

e Blue Album,” releasedin 1994. “Te Blue Album” wenttriple platinum and received verypositive reviews.

 Te band continued producingalternative hits and several othereponymous albums with second-ary “color” names through therest of the 1990s and the 2000s.

 Weezer hits include “BeverlyHills,” “Island in the Sun,” “Sayit Ain’t So,” and “Buddy Holly,”among many others. More re-cent Weezer albums such as “TeGreen Album” and “Te Red Al-bum” produced hit songs, but re-ceived mixed reviews as a whole.

 Weezer as a band is excellent.Tey have a unique musical stylethat is audibly appealing and orig-inal. Tose who have not listened

to early Weezer albums should do

so in order to form an opinion ofthe band before listening to theirnew music.

Recently, Weezer fans havebeen looking forward to the re-lease of a new album, “Te White

 Album.” Rivers Cuomo, thesinger, guitarist, front man andcreative force behind Weezer, de-scribed the album as a beach al-bum and said it was inspired byhis experiences in Los Angeles.

“Te White Album” was re-leased on April 1, following thesingles “Tank God for Girls,”“Do You Wanna Get High,”“King of the World,” “LA Girlz,”and “California Kids.”

“Tank God for Girls” was astrange choice for the rst singlegiven that it is by far the worstsong on the album. It is arguablythe worst Weezer song ever as

 well. Te song is simply hard tolisten to.Te verses are poorly sung

droning with minimal instrumen-tal backing. Te chorus is better,but still not well sung or audiblyappealing instrumentally. Hear-ing this song rst due to its radioplay did not paint a positive pic-

ture of the album. Any other songon the album would have been abetter choice as a single.

“Do You Wanna Get High?” isa much better a single. It was oneof the better songs on the albumand sounded a little like older

 Weezer and a little like the Kill-ers. Te song is still not excellent,but it is listenable.

 Another good single was “Ca l-ifornia Kids.” “California Kids”

 was one of the two best songs onthe album. Te song is upbeat,and the instrumentals and vocalssound like classic Weezer and are

 well played and sung.“California Kids”’s competi-

tion for best song on the albumis “Summer Elaine and DrunkDori.”Tis song has good rhythm

and well-played guitar parts,

something the rest of the album was sorely lacking. It also soundssignicantly more like old Weezerthan the other songs.Te strangest thing about this

album is how diff erent most ofit sounds from classic Weezersongs. If not for the vocals beingthe same person, it would be verydifficult to identify this album asa Weezer album based off   of the

 way the instrumentals sound.Te album has a few decent

songs but nothing particularly

special. Overal l, the album is pret-ty bad and not worth the money.It is a step in the wrong directionfor Weezer, a band whose newmusic is widely considered to bemuch worse than their older stuff .

For music lovers who have nothad the opportunity experience

 Weezer yet, the best course of a c-tion is to listen to “Make Believe”and anything another albumsreleased before it, but to ignoreanything after “Make Believe” al-

together, especially this album.

“Te White Album” no beter than white noise

Each scene throws a bitmore onto the pile, from the rstnight out to the rst baseball prac-tice, Jake and the others gel moreand more, growing as a team andas a cast, enabling a “brotherhoodand camaraderie ... on the screen,”as Jenner said. Teir singular dy-namic allows for Linklater to il-lustrate his intended ideal of col-lege as a breaking of new ground— a chance to dene yourself andhave some fun along the way.Te glass ceiling of raunchy

comedy lms thickens with eachtrashy movie released. What Lin-klater accomplishes is a jovialcinematic experience, but thisparticular genre does not neces-sarily permit great lms to shinethrough. Tat would take an ab-solute miracle.

Is this newest lm to be fan-

tastic when propped up next tomasterpieces? No, and it unfor-tunately could not break throughthe ceiling. It does what it intendsthough: throwing aside the needfor critical appeal and plucking upthe inner child in the viewer.

 While rema ining as somewhatof a stupid bit of college comedy,Richard Linklater’s latest out-ing is a delightful celebration ofyouth. “Everybody Wants Some!!”culminates in a burst of color: aneruption of opportunity that con-verges into what feels like a pilotepisode. Tis refreshing genrerevival in the spirit of “AnimalHouse” and (obviously) “Dazedand Confused” is well worth thetrip to the theater in exchangefor a few laughs and a whole lot

of optimism.

It has been ten years sinceTech had a chance at a collegiate

 world championship, and thisseason was the third opportunitythe team had under head coachDanny Hall. Five years have alsogone by since the Jackets were lastcrowned ACC champions. Tiscould be the season Tech returnsto the top.

 Just under the halfway mark,Tech baseball holds a 21-7 recordso far. If the Jackets are able tomaintain, and even improve theirperformance on the eld, therecould be a place for Tech in the2016 record book.

Danny Hall and the restof the coaching sta ff , has, nodoubt, played an enormous rolein this season’s successful perfor-mances. Tis season, courtesy oframblinwreck.com,  Tech base-ball has been ranked in all sixcollege baseball polls. Tech comesin at 18th in USA Today’s Coach-es poll. Freshman Tristin English

is turning out to be a key to theprogram’s continued excellence.One of two freshman that

turned down the MLB Draft toattend Tech, English has becomea regular member of the startinglineup. English turned down a39th round draft by the Cleve-land Indians and made his Techdebut in the rst game againstPurdue. Almost halfway throughthe season, English is ranked

fth on the team in battingaverage.

In a 5-2 win against the Boil-ermakers, English’s savvy at theplate powered an off ensive out-burst, and he was a major factorthroughout the team’s compellingearly run of wins.

Te Jackets experienced theirrst loss on March 11 against No.11 Florida State. Tough the en-tire lineup was unhappy with theloss, game thirteen was not di-sastrous in every aspect. English

 went 3-for-3 in hits for a careerhigh. Whether it was just an off 

 weekend, or the struggles of be-ing away from their home eld,the jackets ended their weekendin Tallahassee with three losses.Tech quickly moved forward andlooked to have better future per-formances.

Tristin English’s name hasn’tmade it to every headline, but heis a player who has consistentlyperformed well when Tech hasneeded him most. Fans have seenEnglish many times at bat, butfans have yet to see him pitchout of the bullpen. If English

gets that chance to pitch relief forTech’s starting lineup, there is asizable chance that he could makehimself a stalwart on the moundif the situation demands it.

His 1.09 ERA during his highschool career earned him thePreseason All-American title byPerfect Game USA last year. Notto mention such a low ERA topsthe best ERA posted by the jack-ets this season. In fact, the lowest

ERA posted so far by BrandonGold, 2.23, is nearly twice that ofEnglish’s 1.09.

 With potentially three and ahalf seasons left in his collegiatecareer at Tech, English will havelots of chances to further impressTech fans. Tech’s entire lineup hasbeen impressive this season. Eng-

lish’s fellow freshmen and MLBdraft picks, Joey Bart and Jona-thon Hughes, have also becomeregulars in Tech’s lineup.

Bart comes in third in thelineup in overall batting average.Hughes has the second best ERAon the team. Kel Johnson hasmade some great plays on the eld

and Gold’s performance on themound continues to improve asthe season progresses, good signsfor a team hoping to capitalize ona youth movement.

Coach Danny Hall has gath-ered together a talented roster thisyear and fans have good reason tokeep cheering.

English, Jackets a winning combination so far

pic gold medalist Tamika Catch-ings, Vuckovic and her fellowhonorees were honored in India-napolis during the Women’s FinalFour.Te Good Works Team alsomade an appearance at IndianaUniversity’s Simon Cancer Centerto off er patients and their familiescare packages.

For Vuckovic, volunteeringmeans more than public image;prior to being named to the Good

 Works team, she worked with theRonald McDonald House andhelped built a basketball court forlocal children, courtesy of ram-blinwreck.com.

 Just as Whiteside followed inthe footsteps of All-Americans be-fore her, the Jackets are no strang-er to service. In 2014, center Shay-la Bivins was named to the Good

 Works Team for her philanthropiccommitment.

 Along with earning a de-gree and the ACC PostgraduateScholarship, Bivins served on theNCAA Division I Women’s Bas-ketball Isssues Committee. If sheis any indication, Vuckovic willcontinue to make an impact in the

 Atlanta community.Despite a number of talented

players, Tech is yet to truly makeits mark on the local scene. NotreDame tore through the slate witha 16-0 record against conferencefoes, while the Jackets sat with theBlue Devils in the middle of the

 ACC table.If championship contention

is indeed off   the table, especiallyin a world dominated by an elitefew powerhouses, Jackets fans canat least take pride in the legaciesof their athletes, gures who haverepresented the team with grace.

 While Vuckovic will return tolead the Jackets next season, Whi-teside’s performance in the defeatat the hands of the Tulane Green

 Wave was her swan song to Jacketfans. Regardless, both will be re-membered as diff erence-makers,

on and off

Tech’s tennis team may be pro-pelled by an inux of youth forthis season, but leading the groupis junior Cole Fiegel. An IE from

 Alachua, Fla., Fiegel sat down with the Technique   to discuss hisexperiences on and off   the courtover his rst three seasons.

Technique: How did you rstget into tennis?

Fiegel: When I was a kid, prob-ably about ve years old, my momput me in literally every sport, soI started off   playing basketball,

baseball, tennis, soccer and thenfootball around eight [years old].Baseball and tennis were the

sports that I was best at. I playedboth until I was thirteen when I

 went to high school, and then Ihad to choose one, so I chose ten-nis. It was really a ip of a coin.

Technique: Coming fromFlorida, why did you choose Geor-gia Tech or Atlanta as a whole?

Fiegel: Really, the school wasthe big draw. When I was young-er, I always really liked math, soGeorgia Tech was the school inthe South if you wanted to be anengineer, and now, it’s the schoolanywhere if you want to be an en-gineer. Tat was always the schoolI really wanted to go to and whenthe coaches contacted me, it was

instant [decision].

Technique:  How would youassess your play at Tech each yearthus far?

Fiegel:  For me, coming inmy freshman year, I wasn’t evennecessarily expected to play in

the line-up.T

e team looked tobe loaded. Unfortunately, [we]had some injuries, but it kind ofhelped me because it allowed mea chance to play in the line-up myfreshman year.

My freshman year, I did well.My record was good, and I felt thatI really competed hard through-out the entire season. Going intomy second year, it was nice to haveexperience, but we also had moreguys come in.

 We had four freshmen comein [the next year]. Te freshmendid very well and were able to playhigh spots in the lineup, whichis very impressive especially inthe ACC where the teams are sogood. For Mike [Kay] and Chris[Eubanks] to be able to come in

as freshmen and play high in

the lineup is really impressive. Ithelped the team ... make a pushat the end of my second year inthe last couple matches and thenthe ACC to make the NCAA. TeNCAA didn’t exactly go how we

 wanted it to, but it was sti ll a bigstep up from not making NCAA[and] not being ranked my fresh-man year.

Tis year, I feel like we havea shot to do some really goodthings. For me, I feel like I’ve im-proved each season, getting betterand better and playing higher inthe lineup.

Technique: How has your rolechanged over the last few seasons?

Fiegel: Honestly, it’s not thatmuch diff erent than this year be-cause I would say even last year,my sophomore year, I still had toprovide some sort of guidance.

[Te younger players have]done well for the most part, sothey don’t need too much of myadvice. Te best way to lead is by
