About TGIF	English (USA)
Here's a brief history of the committee from "Scripps Institution of Oceanography: Probing the Oceans 1936-1976" by Betty Shor: "The graduate students set up their social center in the late 1960s, when they were given the use of T-8, a one-story house at the south edge of the campus that had been purchased when the land for the south parking lot was acquired. The center at first was under the auspices of the Dean of Student Activities of UCSD, until 1968 when a Scripps Student Committee was formed. Students renovated the building, which they call Surfside, into a recreation center, with a ping-pong room, pool table, change room, and storage rack for surfboards. Volunteer labor, some funds from the office of Student Affairs, and proceeds from vending machines on campus made the renovations and recreation facilities possible. TGIF: the weekly beer bust - began at Surfside in January 1968. As the student committee reported to the staff luncheon in September 1969: 'the purpose of this party was to provide a friendly atmosphere where the entire SIO community could meet and get better acquainted.'
