During the semester, Greekorganizations sometimes becomeinvolved in unlawful or negativeactivity that requires consequen-tial actions.

In order of increasing severity,

the sanctions available for studentorganizations are warnings, spe-cic restrictions, probation, sus-pension held in abeyance, interimsuspension and most severely, ex-pulsion.Te Office of Student Integ-

rity (OSI), which oversees indi-vidual and organization activityon campus and issues sanctions,takes different factors into con-sideration before they reach deci-sion on consequences for negativeGreek activity.

Its not like we say that cer-tain actions result in specic con-sequences, said Peter Paquette,Director of OSI. It is really theseverity of whats occurred and soquestions that we would ask when

we are deciding if groups need to

be suspended is balancing needsof the group and campus, whetherthere is a risk in keeping themhere or a history or do we feel like

we can mediate behavior otherways. We really tr y to balance thecampus, safety and the severity.

Fraternities sometimes have di-rect or indirect involvements with

negative or unlawful activity, suchas vandalism, theft, distributionof alcohol to students under 21and public disturbances throughvarious means. Despite theseincidents, Tanner Marcantel, Di-rector of Greek Affairs, states thatgood comes from these groups.

Fraternities and sororities arestudent organizations that pro-vide a home environment for theirmembers, Marcantel said. Teyoffer friendship, emotional sup-port, and academic enrichmentfor their membership. Membersof fraternities and sororities areafforded the opportunity to par-ticipate in intramural sports, cam-pus-wide events, philanthropicefforts and community service

projects. Last year Greek organi-

zations gave 56,589 hours of theirtime to service work and donated$514,113 to charities.

Concerning the improvementof student activity under Greekhouses, Marcantel further statesthat Tech continuously interacts

with Greek organizations to pre-vent negative activity.

Tech is committed to hold-ing all organizations accountablefor any activities that are foundin violation of the Student Codeof Conduct and due process isfollowed to allow the students orstudent organizations a fair out-come, Marcantel said. Situa-tions have occurred that resultedin OSI investigating and tak-ing appropriate action, but Tech

works with the fraternities andsororities very closely to educatemembers about issues before theybecome a Code of Conduct viola-tion.

With respect to Kappa Alphassuspension due to hazing, Pa-quette states that it was the rightpunishment. He also says that

students can use conversation asa way to stop bad situations fromoccurring.

I feel like it was an appropri-ate punishment, Paquette said.Across the country there havebeen unfortunate instances withfraternities and sororities, andI think that it often call for dia-logue. Quite frankly, I think stu-dents should be the ones drivingit and saying what they want tobe happening on their campus ornot. Students have a lot of abilityto shape the culture of this placelook like.

On a regular basis, Greekgroups, as well as other organiza-tions, are expected to abide by the

Student Code of Conduct and in-vestigations are held to hold indi-viduals and, in some cases, entiregroups that are responsible for anyviolations in question.

Te Office of InformationTechnology (OIT) began to shiftstudents e-mail boxes from the

existing Zimbra mailbox to Out-look earlier this year.All students enrolling after

July 2014 have been given an Of-ce 365 account. Currently fac-ulty and staffmailboxes are beingmigrated, and OIT plans to givethe students currently using Zim-bra an option to migrate by earlynext year.

Back in 2010 Zimbra was in-troduced to campus in hopes toconsolidate the multiple collabo-ration services on campus, saidRachel Moorehead E-mail ServiceManager for OIT. Te College ofEngineering piloted its usage andthen transitioned it to OIT in or-der to grow it to the campus-widesolution is it today. It was an Inst i-

tute decision to adopt Zimbra asthe centrally support e-mail, Cal-endar, and Collaboration serviceon campus.

OIT handles around 4 millionmessages per day and around 16terabytes of data from all mail-boxes. Te reason for the transi-tion was to build a service thatis suited to the needs of the usersnow and in the future and to havea service that increases productiv-ity but having a higher level of in-teroperability.

Te Georgia Tech commu-nity decided to shift to an Out-look solution in order to provide amore robust, integrated e-mail ex-perience, Moorehead said. With

Zimbra aging quickly, there wasa need to re-evaluate our e-mailservice on campus. We startedthe discovery project back in early2013 and evaluated the various

e-mail service offerings availablesuch as Gmail, the new version ofZimbra and Microsoft Exchange.

Some of the challenges of themigration according to Moore-head were understanding the

diff

erences between the Outlookservice and the Zimbra service aswell as gaining community en-dorsement. According to Moore-head, over the last eight months,various campus groups have pro-vided feedback and adjustmentshave been made according to theirunique needs. Tere will also betraining opportunities so users areaware of the new benets and thedifferences of the two systems.

Outlook allows us to providea mobile-rst, enterprise-classe-mail system to campus andadditionally enables us to havesignicantly larger mailboxes,Moorehead said. It also has in-tegration with the other cloud-based Office 365 services such as

Lync and OneDrive for Businessand the Microsoft Office suite.Te Office 365 service will give

users access to e-mail, calendarand contacts and will be accessibleby PCs, Apple products, a web cli-ent and mobile devices. Tis doesmean that the data will be locatedon Microsoft-owned servers offcampus. According to the OIT

website, the agreement with Mi-crosoft states that, Microsoft willnot scan, mine, or use our contentfor advertising or other purposesbeyond offering Georgia Tech theservices that we have contracted.Georgia Tech remains the soleowner of all our data (rights, title,and interest).

Some features of the Outlookinbox are 50 gigabytes of storage,access to the mobile app, inte-grated address book and sharedcalendar.

OUR VIEWS | HOTORNOT

Its almost overTe long hours on the 3rd

oor of the library and count-less number of times calculat-ing the minimum amount ofeffort needed to get the gradeyou need is slowly ending.

With now less than a month ofschool left, in the semester thelast round of tests have arrivedbefore Hell week and Tansk-giving break are upon us. Sostick to the books, because be-fore you know it, well all behome for the holidays.

HOTo rNOT

But its not over yetHowever, before we are

met with the sweet comfortsof home, we have to deal withthe semesters worth of study-ing and workload that we mayhave neglected when GilmoreGirls came on Netix. To addto the pot of fun, Hell Week issplit this year, including threepainful, test-lled days beforeTanksgiving. So get your cof-fee brewing and thinking capsstraightened, because nalsare upon us Tech.

LeavesFinally, the Indian Summer

of 2014 has entered its nalstages. And though there arestill days where sweat stainsare prevelant, Mother Naturehas nally shown her colorsover the past couple weeks.

And though the workloadseems to skyrocket, the leavesare all falling, making the

campus a wonderland for theperfect Fall Instragram photo,and reaffirming the beautythat is Techs campus.

SEC NetworkBecause we dont go to an

SEC school, its not surprisingTech cable doesnt include apackage to watch SEC games.But who would have thoughtthat when it comes to the up-coming Tech v. UGA game,the television provider willonly be an SEC Network.

What does this mean? Tech

students will have to go out oftheir way to watch the biggestgame of the year. Because thatmakes sense.

Paul Johnson is currently in hisseventh year as head coach at Techand has compiled a 55-34 record,

which is the third best winningpercentage in Tech history.

Only John Heisman and Bob-by Dodd have a higher winningpercentage at Tech and both ofthose coaches won national cham-pionships and have statues outsidethe football stadium.

In the days of Chain Gailey,Tech football was the denition of

mediocrity. Gailey only won morethan seven games once and Gailey

was nicknamed Mr. 7-5 by Techfans. Despite having Calvin John-son, who is on the of the great-est receivers of all time, Gaileysteams struggled to win big games

with him there.Johnsons rst season trumped

anything Gailey had accom-plished at Tech. He nished theregular season at 9-3, including a48-42 win in Athens over Geor-gia. It was the rst time Tech hadbeaten UGA in eight years.Te next season Tech won 11

games and the ACC Champi-onship, the most wins in schoolhistory and Techs rst outright

ACC Championship in 19 years.Johnson trumped all expectationsin his rst two years, which mighthad been some sort of a curse asfans began to expect these kinds

of results every year.2010 was a bad year for John-

son and Tech football, but alot hadto do with losing their top run-ning back, wide receiver, defensiveend and satety early to the NFL.

Another big factor in that seasonwas star quarterback Josh Nesbittbreaking his arm in a game at Vir-ginia Tech when Tech was domi-nating. Tech ended up losing thatgame and without Nesbitt the sea-son was a lost cause.

Recruiting also began to catchup to Tech and hiring Al Groh asdefensive coordinator set the pro-gram back a couple of years.Tis year, Tech has the most

talented player at quarterbacksince Joe Hamilton, the 1999Heisman runner up. Justin Tom-as is only a sophomore and hasproven he has what it takes to suc-ceed at the quarterback position.

Currently Tech is 8-2 includ-ing wins against Virginia Techand Miami. Tech beat both Vir-ginia Tech and Miami in the sameyear for the rst time since 2006.

Tech is also ranked #22 in thenation and have the best and mostefficient offense in the entire coun-

try. Recruiting has also turnedaround as Techs 2015 class is thebest its been in almost a decade.

Johnsons contract should beextended and it should be a no

brainer. Blowing up the wholething because Johnson has strug-gled versus Miami and VirginiaTech and is 1-5 against UGA isasinine. UGA is a football facto-ry. Tey get the best talent in the

country and have the best playerin America.All they care about in Athens

is football and they currently haveTodd Gurley, who is the best foot-ball player in college.

Tech isnt a university, it is anInstitute of Technology and isrestricted by majors, calculus re-quirements and academic quali-cations that no other D-1 schoolhas.

You dont see MIT or Cal Techhaving successful football pro-grams.

Tech has had major successon the national level in the past25 years, but 2014 Tech is a com-pletely different Tech than the1990 Tech that had a national

champion football team.Te 1990 team was also an

once in a generation team led byBobby Ross who is one of the fewfootball head coaches that has

won a national championship andcoached in a Super Bowl.

Tech fans and alumni needto appreciate the consistency theprogram has had over the past twodecades. 18 straight bowl appear-ances, 20 seasons without a losingrecord in ACC play and an 11-9record over Clemson.

Whenever Johnson leaves, itshould be on his own terms be-cause if he isnt kept around nextyear you can count on about veseasons of being one of the worst

teams in the ACC.Johnson has two giant gamesleft this regular season. A win ver-sus Clemson this weekend shouldguarantee an extension.

Paul Johnson deserves contractextension afer end of season

Tech is also ranked #22 in

the nation and has the best

and most efficient offense in

the entire country.

Ending sexual violence:SGAs What If Video

!"#$! &'(#)*

!"#$ $&"'()

In partnership with One VoiceAtlanta, a service organizat ion fo-cused on increasing awareness forsex trafficking, SGA recently re-

leased What If? - Georgia Tech,a one minute video focused onending sexual violence on Techscampus.

Te goal of the video was toencourage the conversation oncampus around sexual violenceprevention. We hear from admin-istrators, faculty, and staff, but

we as students hold a substantialresponsibility in nding the solu-tion and ending sexual violenceon campus, Macie Whatley, SGAVice President of Communica-tions, said.

Anna Arnau, President of OneVoice, added, When I wrote thescript for the video, I wanted toempower students and let themknow that we all have the oppor-

tunity to change the conversationon campus.Te video, although short in

length, was certainly not shortin impact. By containing clips ofmale students discussing sexualviolence, SGA and One Voicesought to tackle the issue from thelesser-seen male perspective.

Te primary message of theWhat If video is that everyonemust be engaged in the ght toend sexual violence on our cam-pus. Men have typically been leftout of the conversation and are of-ten seen as instigators of violencerather than as par tners in ndinga solution, Dillon Roseen, Stu-dent Body President, said.T

e male students that par-ticipated in the video viewed theexperience as truly rewarding, asmany knew individuals who weresurvivors of sexual assault.

Tis issue of sexual violence issomething that hits close to homefor me in that I have numerousfriends at Tech that are victimsof rape, assault, or other forms ofharassment, shared Matt Josey, aspeaker in the inuential video.T

e participants, also, felt in-spired by the video and hopedtheWhat If video would carryout a message beyond that of em-powerment.

My hope is that the video willnot only just empower people totake action but comfort those thatneed encouraging words, ChadSims, another speaker, said. Letour friends and fellow jacketsknow that someone is looking outfor them.

With the sexual violence whitepaper and task force recently cre-ated to help revamp the way theInstitute responds to and preparesfor this major issue, the What If video acts as another way to ad-dress the concern. SGA, person-

ally, hopes to seek students opin-ions on this topic.

SGA is actively seeking stu-dent opinion, and videos are agreat way to get responses. SGA

was involved heavily with the ini-tial white papers, and we want tocontinue to have a hand in this is-sue as it greatly affects student lifeon campus, Whatley claimed.

As Tech has again been in theheadlines for the infamous RapeBait email and allegations againstthe disbanded Phi Kappa Tau fra-ternity, the What If video usesthis recent attention to rightly ad-dress the sexual violence issue. In-stead of turning a cold-shoulder,the Tech community confronts

the issue head-on.Arnau emphasized that theirgoal was to seize and opportunityto say that sexual violence on cam-pus is not okay.

Te US midterm elections of2014 took place on November 4.

All 435 House seats and 36 Senateseats were up for grabs. Addition-ally, many gubernatorial and stateand local races took place. Over$3.7 billion was spent on this elec-tion, the most of any midterm inhistory.

A great deal of importance wasplaced on this election, with com-mercials and celebrities promot-ing voting. On a more local scale,all who walked through Tech

Walkway the weeks before wereaccosted by people asking if they

were registered to vote.Despite their efforts and efforts

nationwide, voter turnout was36.4% overall, the lowest in over70 years and down 4.5% from2010. Where did Tech studentsfall, statistically speaking, in thiscalculated distribution?

I did vote because it is myduty as an American citizen, de-clares third-year ChemE KrishanPatel. Although, I disliked the

mudslinging advertisements thatevery candidate had. Tey wereannoying to see every day and de-tract from where the focus shouldbe.

I did not vote in this electionbecause I dont believe it was im-portant, says third-year IE LalitDevraj. Not as important as thepresidential elections, anyway.Te Piedmont Room in the

Student Center housed a ballotbox for Fulton County residents,including those not affiliated withTech. In the past there were com-plaints from these residents aboutthe cost of parking and the boxslocation to those unfamiliar withTechs campus. For Tech students

from the area, though, this loca-tion was far more convenient thandriving home for the day.

I wasnt registered to vote,plus I was busy with school and

would have been an uninformedvoter, says fourth-year ISyE ParsaNaraghi.

I didnt register because Ididnt know when the election

was, says second-year ME Mo-hamud Gedi. By the time I foundout about two weeks before thevoting, it was too late to sign up.

Te deadline to register to votevaries by state but is usually earlyto mid October.

I didnt vote because I was notinformed and not already regis-tered, states second-year BMEDNima Mikail.

Im out of state, and I didntwant to go through the t rouble ofgetting an absentee ballot, saysfourth-year ChemE major JamesDiLorenzo. I wasnt interested:this election didnt have much im-pact on me as an individual.

Others who voted claimedcivic duty in one way or an-other as their reason for voting.Tose who did not cited notreceiv[ing] an absentee ballot tonot car[ing] enough to registerto its complicated.Tere was a clear disinterest

in this midterm election, but thenumbers should rise for the presi-dential election in two years. Bythen, there will be a new set offreshmen and sophomores to goadinto registering and voting.

Kappa Sigma event addresses suicide!"#$ &'()*+,'*

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

Nov. 23 will see the kick-offof the inaugural Kappa Sigmagames, which will support thecause of kicking the stigma ofmental illness and suicide oncampus. Te event will combine

spirited physical activity, such askickball and a three-legged relay,with an awareness raising cam-paign aimed at suicide prevention.

Jonathan Edwards, philan-thropy chair for Kappa Sigma andorganizer of the event, explainedthat the goal is to make suicidea topic that can be addressed di-rectly, and for students to knowthe resources available on campus.Te hope is that this will makethose who suffer from suicidalthoughts and those close to thembetter able to cope with the issue.

People want to help, but theydont know how, he said. We

want to educate the students whodont know how to react, becauseif youre not told, its hard to be

expected to know what to do.To that end, Kappa Sigma has

worked with a number of orga-nizations to bring to campus in-formation and support for those

whose lives have been affected bymental illness. Tree guest speak-ers will also come throughout theday and share their own experi-ences with suicidal thoughts anddepression.

Proceeds from the games willsupport the American Foun-dation for Suicide Prevention.Various other groups, such as To

Write Love on Her Arms and theCounseling Center at GeorgiaTech, will be at the event to offera chance for students to get infor-

mation on getting involved or re-ceiving support.Te importance of this cause

is felt especially by the membersof Kappa Sigma after one of their

brothers took his own life in thespring of 2013. Te event had aprofound impact within the fra-ternity and motivated an increasedawareness of mental health andthe fraternitys own function as aninuential support network.

When something like thathappens, everybody has ques-

tions, said John Merlie, presidentof the Tech Kappa Sigma fraterni-ty chapter. Why did this happen?

Was there something we couldhave done? After the experience,many of the brothers wanted pas-sionately to prevent similar trag-edies in the future.

Teres a lot of brothers

whove been personally affectedby this, and so we know the realpain of it, explained Edwards.He stated that the games will offera means to channel that passion tomake a positive impact, to makethe campus a better place, and tomake the brothers in Kappa Sig-ma better men.

With th is goa l, the games willnot just be a day to relax and havefun competing, but also a way ofaddressing an issue that has af-fected the lives of many studentsand faculty at Tech.

Te games will take place onSunday, Nov. 23, and will featurean engaging kickball tournament

simultaneous with games of bocceball and the beloved fraternitygame, cornhole. Te events willrun from 10:45 in the morning to5:30 in the evening, ending with athree-legged race.

Various food vendors will bepresent on site, with a percentageof sales benetting the American

Foundation for Suicide Preven-tion. Registration for an indi-vidual costs $15, with options foreither signing up with an entireteam of ten or being placed on arandom team.

Te brothers hope the eventwill prove succes sful while raisingawareness for the cause.

Te problem with many sci-lms is that they forget the hu-man aspect of storytelling. Whilethe characters are not perfect, thislm employs more than enoughcharacter development to forcethe audience to sympathize withthe characters. Te lm also doesan outstanding job of making theseemingly non relatable problemsthe characters face into smaller

scale issues like familial relationsand self-preservation that anyonecan understand. Te story inspiresmultiple tear-inducing scenes inaddition to awe inspiring cinema-tography.

A director like Nolan i s fasci-nated by the history of lm andalso its bright future. He showshis respect for the art of lm mak-ing by allowing theaters who stillown non digital lm projectors toscreen his lm two days early.Te contrast of a futuristic lm

with the whir of an old fa shionedprojector in the background is onethat cannot be felt in any otherrecently released, big-name lm.Te idea of showing the movie

onlm pays homage to the human

spirit of innovation that is presentin the lm as well as society today.Interstellar takes place in a world

where humanity has lost its desireto innovate and as a result, facesits ultimate demise by the planetthat has supported it.

It is evident that ChristopherNolan tried to capture the es-sence of human innovation in thelm. Te success of this aestheticchoice is yet to be seen, but thislm has the rare power to inspire anew generation of innovators andexplorers for the ultimate growthof society.Tis lm is by no means per-

Before the third piece, though,Conductor Diden turned and ad-dressed the audience. He told thelisteners that Steve Bryants vepart Ecstatic Waters would beunlike any typical piece a sym-phonic band would play.T

as a nor-mal venture, but soon asserted itsuniqueness in the form of two in-struments.

Majoras Mask unveiled!"#$%&' )*"&'

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

On Nov. 5, Nintendo held aNintendo Direct, a digital pressconference, for their video gamelineup in 2015. Most of the games

were previously revealed at theElectronic Entertainment Expo

(E3) last June and only updatesand new features were revealed.However, there was one brandnew game revealed, Te Legend of

Zelda: Majoras Mask 3D for theNintendo 3DS.

Following the reveal, the in-ternet exploded with praise andexcitement over their accomplish-ment. Nintendo stated that theyhave been working on the remakeright after the release of Ocarinaof Time 3D, but did not want totell the public until they had apolished nal product. Tey alsosaid that the game would includemore features, to the delight ofmany fans.

To understand the magnitudeof the situation, one must start at

the release ofTe Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time 3Din 2011. Oca-rina of Timefor the Nintendo 64is often praised as one the most in-uential games of all time. Whenit was remade for the 3DS, fans

were ecs tatic. However, they alsowanted more. Tey wanted a re-make of Ocarina of Times sequel,

Majoras Mask, which is consid-ered by many as the best Legendof Zeldagame of all time, due itsdark tone and atmosphere. Manypeople said that a remake wouldbe easy since Majoras Maskusedthe same exact game engine asOcarinaand that the originalMa-

joras Maskwas released about twoyears after Ocarina.T

at being said, Nintendo didnot announce any plans to re-makeMajoras Maskfor the 3DS.In response, fans created an on-line petition dubbed Operation

Moonfall to gain support for aremake (Moonfall refers to thepremise of the game where themoon will fall and destroy the

world). After a few days the peti-tion gained 10,000 signatures, butstill Nintendo did not announceanything. As the months went on,many more fans started express-ing their support through videosor fan-created remakes ofMajoras

Maskitself, but Nintendo still said

nothing.Tat is until a year ago withthe release ofTe Legend of Zelda:

A Link Between Worlds. In thegame, there was an Easter egg

referencing Majoras Mask. A fewmonths later, Masahiro Sakurai,the developer for Super SmashBros. for Wii U, revealed thatSkull Kid, the main antagonist of

Majoras Mask, would appear inthe new Super Smash Bros. gameas an assist character. Even morehints at Majoras Masks revealcontinued to appear over the fol-lowing months, including Zelda

Williams appearing on stage at E3

with a Majoras Maskreplica. Ul-timately, these hints culminatedto the reveal of the long-awaitedgame last week, much to the reliefof fans of the franchise.

won 8-7 on universe point, upset-ting the number ve seed at thetournament.

Tribes rst three games werewon on universe point including a10-9 victory over the fourth seed,Dartmouth. At 3-0, it put Tribe

into the drivers seat going into thepool, which they ultimately won.Tey nished 4-1 on the day, beat-ing Auburn 11-8 to clinch pool D.

One of our biggest goalswas to break seed. [We] came inranked 13th and wanted to proveourselves against some of the big-gest teams and play them at theirlevel, and we accomplished that,said grad student captain JohnDugan.Te following day, Tribe

moved onto the winners bracketwhere they lost a 15-14 gameagainst Michigan who nishedfth last year at Nationals andlost the following game to UNC15-11, who were national runnerups. Tribe won the 7th place gameagainst Auburn 9-6.

CCC, being one of the top

tournaments in the fall, gave Tribea great chance to test themselvesagainst some of the best competi-tion in the country. It presentedmore of a challenge than Tribesrst tournament of the year, Itch-fest, which they won without los-ing a game.

College ultimate allows veyears of eligibility, which meansthat graduate students are verycommon in college ultimate.Tribe has always had several keygraduate students, and this year,Nathan White and Andreas Ga-brielsen have joined the program.

White i s from UC Davis, andGabrielsen was a captain at Row-an University.

White, who led the team with

25 assists and scored 11 times,has had a major role on this yearsteam, and his versatility allowshim to play every position. Duganpraised the two new players sayingthat their experience will help theteam succeed next spring.

Tribe also returned many keyplayers from last years team in-cluding fourth year captains Dev-on Rogers and Stephen Burkot as

well as fourth years David Egbertand Patrick Panuski.

Rogers and Panuski tied for

the lead in scoring at CCC with13 scores each.Te team is hoping their ex-

periences at CCC will help themthis spring.

I do feel like our performanceat CCC will be positive momen-tum going into next spring be-cause we performed much better

than most other teams were ex-pecting, and we proved that therewerent any teams there that weresignicantly better than us, saidsecond year EE Michael Tillitson.

Tillitson, who was a formerhigh school basketball star, is6-foot-7. His height and athleticability make him a very toughmatchup for opposing teams, andbeing only a second year, he hasgreat potential at Tech.

I feel I played well but stillneed to further improve mythrows and defensive footwork,Tillitson said.

Dugan believes that the iden-tity of the team has changed sincehes been at Tech. In previous years

with former stars Nick Lance and

Jay Clark, the team was very re-liant on them and their ability toout-athlete their opponents. Du-gan thinks that the team is more

well-rounded than in the past andisnt reliant on one player to have apart in every play.

Like Dugan, Tillitson is ex-cited for the spring season as bothare condent that Tribe will havea great shot to make Nationalsnext May.

Tribe is currently ranked #21in the country by USA Ultimate.

career, even coaching his middleschool football team together.Paula is responsible for her sonsunique rst and middle names:Synjyn came from her favoritevolleyball player (Sinjin Smith)

while Skky was chosen becausethe sky is the limit for her son.

He spent the entire offseasonworking with both parents, nevermissing a workout while training

twice a day for six to seven daysa week.Te hard work has paid off,

as the Marietta, GA, natives 157yards against N.C. State earnedDays ACC Offensive Back of the

Week honors and a feature ar-ticle on ESPN.com.

In addition to Days award,senior offensive lineman ShaqMason collected his third ACCOffensive Lineman of the Week

while senior linebacker Quay-shawn Nealy was named ACCLinebacker of the Week for thethird time.

Days is also now the only play-er in the Paul Johnson era to havea rushing touchdown as a quarter-back, A-back, and B-back.

Following in his parents foot-steps, Days has become somewhatof a coach himself. His experienceat the three main triple optionpositions allows him to see thingsthat other players might not see.

I can see when someone mess-es up, then Im able to correct him

without the coach having to sayanything, explains Days. Imable to coach [starting quarter-back] Justin [Tomas], Zach [Las-key], and the A-backs after play-ing all 3 positions.

Even when he doesnt get theball or gets tackled, Days says he isable to look around and tell otherplayers how to improve their ownblocking.

Another advantage arisingfrom playing multiple positionsis Days ability to anticipate whathis teammates will do.

Sometimes I get the ball, and

I see a defender coming towardsme, but I know that an A-back orlineman will get him, so I makea cut. Tat guy ends up gettingblocked, and I end up breaking abig run, Days said.

Blocking has been a huge im-provement over last year, accord-ing to Days, with offensive line-men, running backs and wide

receivers alike making great inte-rior and perimeter blocks.

He remembers rst seeing cur-rent offensive line starters BryanChamberlain and Freddie Burdenas freshmen and wondering howthey would turn out.

After seeing them play so wellthis season, Days loves to praisehow far they have come since last

season.Its great to see them mature,

learn the offense and see theirhard work nally pay off, Dayssaid.

After football season, Daysplans to nish up his classes in thespring and apply to dental schoolthereafter. But rst, the Yellow

Jackets have two huge rivalrygames in front of them: Clemsonat home and UGA in Athens inthe nal regular season game of

Days career.With Laskey and top A-backCharles Perkins set to returnagainst Clemson, Days will likelysee his carries diminish but is sureplay a vital role nonetheless.

When asked if he might add tohis offensive arsenal by kicking anextra point in his nal game, Dayslaughed and said that he doubtedthat Coach Johnson would lethim do that.

It would be funny though,Days admitted, Ive kicked with[kicker] Harrison [Butker] before,but I cant kick it like him. I toethe ball, so who knows where thatball would end up.

Even though he (probably)wont get to kick or play any more

snaps at quarterback, Days is verymuch looking forward to facingthe Tigers on his Senior Day.

Clemsons defense ranks sec-ond in the nation in yards al lowedand fourth in rushing yards al-lowed, so Days rushing prowess

will be much needed if the Jacketswant to reach nine wins for therst time since 2009.

Tech kicks off against theClemson Tigers in their nalhome game of the year on Satur-day at noon on ESPN.
