The Stingerette ride request
system is Techs premiere Uberesque service, offering rides to
anyone from students studying
on campus at the wee hours of
the night to those who can typically be found at the library seven
nights a week. The Stingerette has
run for nearly a decade, providing
students with a quick, safe and reliable option for on or off-campus
transportation throughout the
night.
Running from 6:00 p.m. to
7:00 a.m. every night, the service was created to ensure the
safety and welfare of all students
on campus. Over the summer semester, the Georgia Tech Police
Department (GTPD) and Parking and Transportation Services
(PTS) quietly rolled out a series
of upgrades to improve the Stingerettes utility and ease of use for
students and drivers alike.
Given that the Stingerette system is a late-night service, many
steps have been taken to address
concerns for safety on campus.
Not only is the Stingerette clearly
marked and labeled, but there are
also gold lights at the top and back
of the vehicle, making it abundantly clear to the student that
their ride has arrived. The lights
also help students to find the Stingerette in darker areas, like offcampus housing, and can be very
useful in illuminating students
path to their destination.
In addition, the Stingerette

cratic Alliance (DA), an opposition party focused on the accusations of corruption facing top
ANC officials.
The ANC has faced virtually no opposition in politics for
19 years, due largely in part to
its legacy as the party of Nelson
Mandela, responsible for the end
of apartheid. Following Mandelas
death and stagnation in the economy, accusations of corruption
and low employment has led to
the formation of multiple opposition parties to the ANC.
The two parties responsible for
the election of the DA candidate
to Mayor of Johannesburg are the
aforementioned Democratic Alliance and the Economic Freedom
Fighters, the latter of which staged
a protest during the election process. After 11 hours, the election
finally closed with the appointment of Herman Mashaba as the

PERFORMER: Twenty One

LOCATION: Duluth, GA
DATE: Aug. 6
OUR TAKE:
SOPHIE GONZALEZ
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Everything about Twenty One
Pilots is different. From their ski
masks and body paint stage personas to their unique combination of musical genres, the band
refuses to be defined. With only
two members, the band certainly
does not lack energy.
Tyler Joseph leads vocals, bass,
the piano and the ukulele alongside Josh Dun, the drummer who
also plays the trumpet. Played
on pop and alternative stations,
Twenty One Pilots signature
sound has influences of alternative, punk rock, reggae, and rap.
Twenty One Pilots consistently
delivers an authentic, genuine
voice in every song. Josephs lyrics
are relatable to all fans with words
of defeat, vulnerability and insecurity but also positivity, motivation and determination to be true
to oneself.
With the release of the bands
newest album, Blurryface, Joseph belts out impressive notes,
punching listeners with powerful
and relatable words on insecurities with lines such as, My names
Blurryface and I care what you
think. Twenty One Pilots Emotional Roadshow tour hit Duluth
on Aug. 6, captivating a sold-out
show at the Infinite Energy Arena
and featuring a set list that included songs from all four of the
bands albums.
In response to thousands of
fans chanting TOP, Joseph
and Dun took stage and led with
Heavydirtysoul. Both wore ski
masks and suits and the song ended with Joseph making a disappearing act, going from the stage
to one of the top sections of the
arena. Within seconds of the start
of the song, fans sang along to the
lyrics and Joseph incorporated

Josh Dun (featured) plays the drums at the beginning of Twenty One Pilots sold out show. The duo begins their performance wearing red suits and ski masks before accelerating their concert to a whirlwind full of hamster balls and drumming on audiences.

Suicide Squad

STARRING: Margot Robbie
DIRECTOR: David Ayer
RATING: PG-13
RELEASE DATE: Aug. 5
OUR TAKE:
LAKSHMI RAJU
STAFF WRITER
the government official who created the Suicide Squad, and the
seemingly more honorable and
loyal capabilities of the criminals
branded as the most evil villains
available for action.
Throughout the press coverage before the movie premiere,
the articles and trailers promised
a much different version of the
film from the final product. The
most notable difference is the
role, or rather the absence, of the
Joker (Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers
Club) in the plot. Although with
the sub-par representation of the
Joker, the audience does not feel
quite as snubbed.
The number of scenes with his
character are small, and his canon
obsessive and abusive relationship
with his sidekick, Harley Quinn
(Margot Robbie, The Wolf of
Wall Street), as told through
the comic books was quite different from the somewhat romanticized portrayal on the screen.
Although we can get a minuscule
glimpse at the horrific manipulations Joker inflicts on Quinn,
their relationship was still painted
with a thin film of twisted mutual
love and longing.
The movie emulates the recent Marvel films in their need
to include such a large number of
complicated characters with not
enough time to properly explain
the intricate stories that bring
them together. The audience is
treated to flash backs to show a
short version of the histories of
most of the characters.
The movie starts with Waller
dropping a binder of the criminals rap sheets, and launches
into a series of shocking intros for
each, plunging us into the cycle of
flashbacks intermingled with the
present. This pushes acceptance of
the team as a whole on the audience, without enough reason and
backstory as to why the criminals
Deadshot (Will Smith) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) ready to jump into the fray. Smith and
Robbie have the majority of the screen time as they try to make the most of the sub-par dialogue.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Alternative rock icons, The
Goo Goo Dolls are touring for
their 11th studio album, Boxes,
and will be performing at Chastain Park Amphitheater in Atlanta
on Sep. 4. The Goo Goo Dolls
is now a duo comprised of lead
singer/guitarist Johnny Rzeznik
and bassist Robby Takac, after
drummer Mike Malinins departure from the band. Boxes was
released in May of 2016.
Over and Over opens the album with a clean, modern alt rock
anthem. The song rides a simple
melody and is filled with basic, repetitive lyrics. Johnnys voice has
changed little since the days of
hits like Iris and Name. The
track makes use of a softer electric
guitar riff layered over acoustic
guitar and a rolling bass line in
classic Goo Goo Dolls style.
The title track, Boxes, has
a little more soul than the other
songs on the album. Its a song

It is not often that two siblings
excel at the same sport. It is rarer
still that both are good enough
to merit the attention of top-tier
athletic programs. And for both
to commit to the same school is
nearly unheard of.
It is the story of sisters Teegan
and Annika Van Gust, Fayetteville, Ga., natives who have led
the Jackets in a variety of statistical categories. Entering their final
year, the stakes are high.
With head coach Michelle Collier at the helm for her third year,
the Jackets have spent the spring
preparing for a fall season full of
broadcasted games. Tech volleyball will be televised 18 times this
season, 10 of which will be home
matches.
Collier was an incredibly successful player in her own right.
As a collegiate athlete at the University of South Florida, Collier
ranked fifth all-time in Division I
with 2,729 kills, courtesy of ramblinwreck.com.
The Gold/White Scrimmage
was the first chance that Tech fans
got to see the Yellow Jackets in
action. Coach Collier explained
to ramblinwreck.com that she
was pleased with the performance
at the scrimmage with the Gold
team winning all five sets with five
different lineups.

Techs starting lineup is return-
Senior Annika Van Gunst prepares in between points. Van Gunst and her sister are the heart and
soul of Techs volleyball team, one that has taken significant strides and raised expectations.
