Lie as a Cross-Town Student
By MIDN 4/c Okon
Georgia Techs
NROTC program allows
students from three dier-
ent colleges to be a part ofthe battalion: Georgia Tech,Georgia State, and South-
ern Polytechnic. Being a
cross-town student myself,
I know that Georgia State
and Southern Poly stu-dents have many benets
and drawbacks for attend-
ing a dierent school thanthe rest of the battalion.
One of the major benets
is attending the school of
the students choice, whileparticipating in and reaping
all of the NROTC programs
benets. Those students
still have access to the
CRC, GT student tickets,homecoming events, etc.
They have the benet of
meeting dierent people
from Georgia Tech whilestill attending their choicecollege.
On the other hand,
those students have to
calculate travel costs andtime into his/her schedule
when coming into the bat-
talion, although car pool-
ing tends to help with the
costs. Most cross- townstudents nd it dicult to
attend homecoming and
extra events the battalion
participates in because of
this traveling that is re-quired.
If a cross-town is
a 4/c midshipmen and
he/she has to do studyhours, the sta is more
lenient on cross-town
students and how
those hours get done.
Instead of traveling 30-40 minutes (if attending
SPSU) and 15 minutes (if
attending Georgia State),
cross-town students are
allowed to complete them
at their own college, butlike Georgia Tech students,
they must be supervised.
Along with study hours,
students can complete their
required community servicehours at their respective
colleges.
All in all, cross-town
students tend to lead a littlebit more of a hectic life than
that of a regular college
student.

Navy Intramural
Football
With a team goal o nish-
ing with a winning record
in the graduate league,
the Navy ootball team
placed a huge importance
on jump-starting the sea-
son with early
victories and rid-
ing that success
into the playos.
Ater winning the
rst our games
o the season
the Navy had the
number one de-
ense with only
6 allowed points. With
our straight wins the
team clenched a playo
spot, guaranteed a win-
ning record, and ranked
at the top o the division. The th week the team
suered several setbacks;
our o starting players
were injured, Tim Preston
(Linebacker) and Robert
Whelens (Quarterback) in-
juries were season ending.
The team was unable to
overcome these setbacks,losing their last regular sea-
son game. Ater the loss,
team captain Hans Toohey
said, This is the best sea-
son that the Navy has
had since I have played
[our years].
For the playos,the team was ineli-
gible or the grad-
uate league brack-
et, so they were
placed in the inde-
pendent bracket.
The rst playo
game was against
Rolo Brown. Due toinjuries and time
conficts the Navy
team was short a man or
the rst quarter. The Navy
team lost 28-6 ending the
season.

3 TIPS
1. When scheduling classes, usethe on-line course critique (http://
sga.gatech.edu/critique/). The cri-tique provides a wealth o inorma-
tion to make your lie easier; how-
ever, there are some actors that are
more important than others. You are
able to view ALL o the proessors
who have taught a course, their
average GPA and grade dis-
tribution, when they
taught the
course, and you
can also read stu-dent reviews about
them. Dont blindly
ollow their average
GPAmake sure you
check actors like the drop
percentage (W%) and the diculty
o the tests (in the survey data).
2.Evenly schedule your classes.This goes or both course diculty
and class distribution. I you knowyou have to take 2 lab sciences or
your major dont schedule them
both in one semester! Classes with
labs and other 4-hour classes are big
time-eaters, so you want to make
sure you spread them out as much
as you can. The same goes or what
time you take your classessure
that class-ree Thursday looks ap-
pealing, but do you want 6 straight
hours o classes on Monday, Wednes-
day, and Friday? Try to leave some
time between classes so you have a
chance to rest/eat/study and head
to class eeling resh! Take the extra
hal-hour to plan out which classes
you want to register or beore your
time ticket rolls around.
3. Dont be so hasty to drop classesduring the rst week o the semes-
ter. Unless you absolutely know youare going to struggle in a class (have
one o the Four Horsemen, acciden-
tally got in an Honors class, etc) you
should give it a shot. Use
resources like the course
critique and
RateMyPro-
essors.
com to
research
your
proessor
thorough-
ly beore
deciding
to throw
yoursel back to the mercy o the
registration system. Remember, just
because your teacher hardly speaks
English doesnt mean his tests are
dicult or you have a bad TA. It is
better to end up in a planned class
you are unsure o than a completelyrandom one you were orced into by
registration conficts.
Upcoming
EventsAs many o you may already
know, this weekend is Homecom
ing here at Georgia Tech! What
does this mean you ask? Wel
Homecoming has been a huge
tradition at Tech since 1920 and
includes such activities as the
Freshman Cake race, the Mini 500
Mr. and Ms. GT, and the Ramblin
Reck parade. To see how each ac-
tivity plays its role in Homecom-
ing you are just going to have toget out there and experience it
or yoursel
You cant orget ootball when it
comes to homecoming. This yea
your number 19th ranked Jackets
ace o against the ranked 4th
Virginia Tech Hokies in a battle
that is sure to be intense and
exciting. So make sure you get
your tickets or tune in to ESPN2 at1800 to watch the Yellow Jackets
move on to certain victory over
the Hokies

The annual Navy League
Mixer was held last month on
Morehouse campus. This is a
right o passage or midship-
men, giving us an opportuni-
ty to interact with each other
in a relaxed setting while in
the presence o seniors(in
rank and tenure both) more
knowledgeable than our-
selves. We entertained sev-
eral guest speakers, both
reserve and active duty, all
o whom brought a plethora
o knowledge rom various
service selections. The mixer
gave each midshipman a
chance to speak with some-
one rom their community
o interest. Having a chance
to converse with someone
who knows the ins and outs
o the service will gain value
and importance as we move
closer to commissioning.
From the 1/c to the 4/c, mid-
shipmen seemed to have
been appreciative o the
opportunity aorded to gain
awareness and comprehen-
sion o the potential roles
we could play in the
greater scheme o theUnited States Navy.
On the other hand, those students have to calculate travel costs
and time into his/her schedule when coming into the battalion
