A few years ago OSHA made Georgia Tech reduce the decibels on its steam whistle. This whistle was like that of a mill town, something the whole community becomes accustomed to, grows to love and rely on. But some government sob decided that eardrums might be hurt so precedent and rituals be damned, turn down the volume. Now the whitle sounds like something like a gagged cat having its balls crushed. These are the ways that government makes our life uniform with others, blurring lines of differentiation. If they make everybody the same, then everything they do is fair, no matter how destructive.
Now the school has a new president, his last seat was at the University of Colorado Boulder. Colorado is a fine liberal state school that had to be forced by the state legislature to fire a professor who publicly blamed 911 on us. From what I see of Tech’s new president’s actions, the school’s rich social fraternal tradition is at risk.
In Oxford, a school with rich tradition, and illustrious graduates. A game day tradition is being stripped, one that is not overtly antagonistic or destructive.

Stop the liberal march toward bland lifestyle. To risk offense is to enjoy life.
Students and fans, keep singing your song, play on the boom boxes, scream it from Faulkner's home.
