Poets invite
others to meet in Quad
All students who write poetry or simply enjoy listening
to others’ talent are invited to attend Midnight Poets meetings.
The Midnight Poets, a local group of poets and
individuals who are interested in poetry, meet at midnight
every Thursday at the Lady of the Mist in the Quadrangle.
The meetings include a night of music, verse and
conversation.
The club was started by a small group of theatre majors
in 1996.
Now the group includes students of other majors, as well
as non-students who are interested in poetry.

Students, faculty
invited to be blue
Tech students, faculty, and staff are invited to join in
a new program entitled Tech Blue Friday.
The program was started by the department of residential
life.
Jennifer Byrd, a recent Tech graduate and coordinator of
student development, is one of many others who has helped to start Tech Blue
Friday.
Byrd said this is an excellent way for students, faculty
and staff to show their pride in the university.
This is the first year for the program.
Tech hopes to make this a tradition in showing each
other, the community and visitors that students are proud to be a part of the
Tech family.
All Tech students are asked to join with the other
students, housing staff and orientation leaders in this uniting effort by
wearing blue T-shirts on Fridays.
For more information about the program, contact Vince
Miller, the director of orientation and special programs, at 257-3036.
