UT won the national championship in forensic competition. They've changed the Tower lighting rules to recognize academic achievements as well as athletic achievements. Here's the link with more info.

It will be lighted again on Saturday as well for the Rube Goldberg Machine Championship.

Swimming was last week or so. When you see the white top, it's for academic reasons.

I live in Virginia and am coming to Austin on Saturday May 11. I would like to go to the top of the Tower. Can any of you tell me how to buy a ticket, and what the schedule is for the observation deck? I went a long time ago (before the shootings) but would like to go up again. Thanks.

"Victory lights will brighten the Tower on the university campus Saturday night (April 20) to honor the students and their achievement."
