Still green with bays each ancient altar stands
Above the reach of sacreligious hands,
Secure from flames, from envy's fiercer rage.
Destructive war, and all-involving age.
See, from each clime the learn'd their incense bring!
Here in all tongues consenting paeans ring!
In praise so just let every 'Voice be joined,
And fill the general chorus of mankind.
Hail, bards triumphant! born in happier days.
Immortal heirs of universal praise!
Whose honors with increase of ages grow,
As streams roll down, enlarging as they flow;
Nations unborn your mighty names shall sound.
And worlds applaud that must not yet be found!
Oh, may some spark of your celestial fire.
The last, the meanest of your sons inspire
(That on weak wings, from far, pursues your flights.
Glows while he reads, but trembles as he writes)
To teach vain wits a science little known.
To admire superior sense, and doubt their own!

A CELEBRATION OF THE LIFE OF

LEO BILANCIO

1927 - 1989

Professor Leo Bilancio, head of
the History Department of
Oglethorpe University, was
expressly well-looking on Thursday
October 5. 1989 as he greeted dignitar-
ies and administration from Oglethorpe
University s sister school, Seigakuin,
Tokyo, in Hearst Hall, Alumni, faculty
staff, administration and students
observed this fact in retrospect because
so many of these individuals had
spoken with him during the day and
were cheered by his brave recovery from
the loss of his beloved wife, Dorothy
Ellis Bilancio, M.A. 76 in May 1989
His good spirit is reflected in the
photograph shown on the Petrel cover
It was taken on August 27, 1989 at a
reception given by President and
Mrs. Stanton

It was also on October 5 that Professor
Leo Bilancio quietly passed from a
living academic and personal legend
into eternity He suffered a fatal heart
attack at his residence late in the
aftemoon, leaving stunned family
members and the Oglethorpe Com-
munity with grief the University has
seldom expenenced Leo Bilancio
was not only respected, admired,
and a nationally recognized academi-
cian; Leo Bilancio was loved.

University President, Donald S
Stanton has stated most clearly the
essence of a singular educator when
he said, "Leo Bilancio brought
scholarship and skill to the teaching
process along with a deep personal
interest in those he taught. Other
professors recognized him as a
leader among his peers: students
and alumni remembered him as a
favorite teacher Trustees saw him as
an ideal professor, and administrators
viewed him as a person interested in
the welfare of the total University All
of us will miss this outstanding
gentleman and friend."

Professor Bilancio was born March
14, 1927 in Tt-enton, New lersey the
son of Nicola Bilancio and Carolina
Chianese Bilancio. He served in the
Air Force from 1945 to 1947 and was
in the Air Force Reserves until 1959,
He received a B.A. degree in history
from Knox College in Illinois in 1951
and an MA, from the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1956.
He began teaching history at
Oglethorpe University in 1958; was
made a full professor in 1973, He
received a proclamation of outstand-
ing service from the University on
February 9, 1989 and was made the
University's first honorary alumnus
on Alumni Weekend in 1989,

Leo Bilancio was an adviser and
speaker for Oglethorpe University
alumni programs. He took groups of
Oglethorpe students to Europe for
travel-study programs in the summer
and had journeyed to Russia to bring
enrichment from that country into
his courses.

He is survived by daughter Jane
Bilancio Spillers. 86 son R. Ivan
Bilancio, '81; a brother Lewis Bilancio
of Glassboro, New lersey; and three
sisters, Sylvia Bilancio of Trenton,
New lersey lenny Immordino of
Lawrenceville, New lersey and

Lorraine Anthony of TTenton, New
lersey Leo Bilancio is also survived
by you alumni; his students of over
30 years. You were family to this man
in your own way The Flying Petrel has
often heard the stories of the Bilan-
cios' warm hospitality Theirs was a
home always open to students. As
fate would have it. Professor Bilancio
came to the editor about writing a
feature article on successful
Oglethorpe alumni in the restaurant
business. Some of this on-going
feature is included in the winter
issue. Each restaurateur reflects on
Leo Bilancios profound effect on his life
and work. Others, including faculty,
have asked to eulogize the man, in
their own words, as a part of this
celebration of Professor Bilancios
life. It is a privilege to publish those
words here for alumni and friends to
read. Let us rejoice that such a man
has lived in Oglethorpe history

Oglethorpe University in response
to alumni and friends inquiries and
requests, has founded the Dorothy
and Leo Bilancio Scholarship, to enable
those individuals who wish to remem-
ber Professor and Mrs. Bilancio to
do so in a way that will continue to be
viable through the years to come.
Dorothy Bilancio, M.A. 76. was for
many years a teacher at the Galloway
School. As educators, students
were their life. What better way to
honor them than to contribute to
the Bilancio Scholarship Fund.

Gifts to the Dorothy and Leo Bilancio
Scholarship may be sent to the
Oglethorpe University Development
Office, 4484 Peachtree Rd., N.E.,
Atlanta. Georgia 30319. Checks
should be made payable to
Oglethorpe University with a note
that the gift is for the Bilancio
Scholarship.

18 In Memory of

.Ml

The loss of Professor Leo Bilancio and his wife Dorothy is indescribable. No set of words or pictures could justly communicate
the wonderful experiences so many of us were privileged to have with Leo and Dorothy.

We therefore have dedicated the 1990 edition of the Yamacraw lo them, and in so doing leave this page blank for Leo and Dorothy
Bilancio. However, it is not at all blank; as the white light is truly the combination of all the colors and elements of light, so too is
this white page the combination of their lives, their experiences and memories, the lives they touched, and our memories of our lives
with them, which were enriched by them. Therefore, when you turn to this page you should be able to see all of the wonderful experiences
found in the lives of Leo and Dorothy Bilancio.

Remarks at Professor Leo Bilancio's
Memorial Service
October 11, 1989

We are here today to celebrate
the life of Leo Bilancio, a man
who loved people and who
was loved by them,

Leo Bilancio was a role model for many
He was highly competent the kind
of professor that every student wants.
He understood the importance of
hard work, always preparing well for
his classes and his other responsibilities
He was a humble man who demon-
strated in a real way the important
but rare virtue of humility

Leo was an individual of high integnty
This was a central part of his person-
ality and value system.

He was a man of hope, who expressed
his aspirations for the future in many
ways. From time to time he shared
his dreams of an exciting future for
Oglethorpe University

His life was characterized by care.
He served as counselor to house-
keepers, professors, students and
many who tumed to him for help.

There are a variety of ways to honor
a person. One of the best is to live
according to the ideals that the indivi-
dual exemplified, A symbol of Leo's
ideals, made possible by the University
Club and friends. Is a magnolia tree to
be planted on our campus between
Lupton and Goslin Halls. It will grow
there in Leo Bllancios memory and
will stand next to another magnolia
tree planted in honor of Dorothy
Bilancio. whom he loved so much.

The trees will grow together as
reminders of Leo and Dorothy If we
choose, they can be symbols of the
Influence of Leo and Dorothy on us.
Thus the trees and that influence can
continue to grow together

Donald S. Stanton
President

The IVue Nobleman, the Gentleman

When Leo Bilancio died. I tried to
express my grief to his son, Ivan, by
explaining how special, how unique,
my relationship to Leo had been.
Ivan politely and with the reincar-
nated charm of his father said. "Yes.
1 know, dad talked to me about It."
Over the next few days I heard many
colleagues, students, and former
students express the belief that their
grief was more Intense or more per-
sonal than anyone else's because of
the special friendship that they had
enjoyed with Leo. One said. "He may
have been the most significant per-
son in my life."

This was Leos gift to be significant
to other people. His talents as a scholar
and teacher made him important: his
significance derived from his ability to
make others feel important. He inquired
and listened and turned conversa-
tions to topics vital to others. He
respected what he heard and
cherished confidences as a precious
gift. While he knew many secrets, he
kept his own. This remarkably private
man (he even wrote his daily journal
in Italian) taught, not by talking about
himself; but by example what dignity
respect and integrity mean.

Perhaps it was his soft voice that kept
such a strong man from overpower-
ing others. To paraphrase a contem-
porary novelist. Leos manner was
"as soft as angels arranging clouds."
Once when 1 knew he was unhappy with
an administrative decision. I asked
him why he hadnt spoken up. Leo
replied that he would debate In faculty
meeting If he thought the best (most
reasonable) argument would win. but
that few minds were won over in a
public forum. He preferred a private

conversation. In his gentle and persua-
sive manner Leo won over many minds.
As we miss Leo over the years we can
know that we are special and significant
for having shared his life and vision.
Shortly before he died Leo told me
of a task he had set for himself to try
to bring harmony to a small pocket
of discord at Oglethorpe. Since his
death I have learned of other peace-
making efforts he was engaged in.
Chaucer's words explaining the meaning
of the true nobleman, the gentleman.
well describe Leo Bilancio:

"Whoever loves to work for virtuous ends.
Public and private, and who most intends
To do what deeds of gentleness he can.
Take him to be the greatest gentleman'.'

Barbara R. Clark, Ph.D.
Professor of English

A Man of Quiet Demeanor
and Simple Courtesy

I first met Leo when I came on campus
to be interviewed for a job. I was im-
pressed by his quiet demeanor, his sim-
ple courtesy and his unpretentious
probity From the fall of 1965 until his
death In October 1989, we developed
a relationship 1 perceived as brotheriy
Beginning as colleagues, we became
friends. Initially confining our conver-
sations to matters related to profes-
sional concerns.

Occasionally he invited me to have
lunch with the family and we spent time
together at social affairs. A private man,
he revealed himself gradually through
the years. I came to respect his sincerity
intelligence, wry humor and his con-
cem for students, colleagues, friends

Anthony Caprio

The New Provost and Dean of Academics

This year the position of Provost, the
chief Academic officer, here at Ogle-
thorpe was filled with the hiring of An-
thony Caprio. Provost Caprio comes to us
from the American University in Wash-
ington, D.C., allured by Oglethorpe's
growing reputation in the American col-
lege market. One thing he would like to
accomplish while administering here is
translate that growing reputation into
hard, solid fact.

Provost Caprio enjoys working at
Oglethorpe, in that every day is different,
posing him new challenges at integrating
Oglethorpe's diverse aspects into a uni-
fied whole, in an effort to better serve the
students. By creating a unified image for
the school, Caprio feels that the "whole
picture" Oglethorpe projects to the aca-

demic community will be greatly en-
hanced and strengthened.

He points out one example of the
need for integration in the existence of
the Admissions Office. Ordinarily, Ad-
missions seems an entity separated from
the rest of the University. Caprio recog-
nizes it as an integral part of the school's
overall functioning, and wants its policies
and workings to add to the overall presti-
gious image Oglethorpe is currently gain-
ing.

Right now, Caprio feels the school
is in a state transition, a metamorphosis
into something greater, reaching to
achieve its full potential. In this delicate
stage, he recognizes a need for the school
to carefully define its image, shaping the
tremendous energies growing in the Uni-

versity as they develop. This potential for
development is the unique characteristic
of Oglethorpe that drew him here, and
that it is his job, as Provost, to serve as
one of the catalysts to bring about Ogle-
thorpe's transformation.

New Faces 23

Kay Hewett

The New Housing Director

This year, students probably noticed
a new face tucked away in the student
center in that high-traffic area around
the campus mailboxes. There, on the first
floor of Emerson Student Center, Kay
Hewett found a home as Oglethorpe's
new Director of Housing. Prior to coming
here, she served as Assistant Director un-
der the Coordinator of Resident Life at
Furman University.

She welcomed the change readily.
At Furman, their system was established
and her scope of influence was limited.
She was ready to come somewhere she
could make a difference.

As Director of Housing, Ms. Hewett
is reworking the system of running hous-
ing. She wants to make the residence
halls a better place to live, improving
maintenance and the basic living condi-
tions on campus.

Ms. Hewett also has instigated and

plans to instigate a number of programs
directed at helping students lead better
lives. Among these are the creation of
"Leadership Day," a conference to train
students to make the most of leadership
positions available on campus, and the
expansion of the Health Fair Day into
"Wellness Week." With the addition of
the new psychologist, she hopes to offer
seminars offering students information
for good decision making on such issues
as drug and alcohol use as well as inter-
personal relationships.

Originally, her training had been in
areas dealing with these kinds of health
issues. Born in Atlanta, she grew up in
Florida where she attended Florida State
University, majoring in Health educa-
tion.

There, she helped lead programs on
alcohol and drug abuse, family planning,
healthy aging, and exercise and fitness.

She wanted to return to school possibly
in the areas of nursing or counseling, but
then became sidetracked a job opened
up at Newbury College as a Resident Di-
rector, so she took it, staying there three
years while commuting to grad school.
From there, she took her position at Fur-
man and then came here. So the pro-
grams she's starting on campus through
her position as Housing Director lie
closer to her own original interests in
helping people.

Ms. Hewett values her job here at
Oglethorpe: it allows involvement in
many activities close to the students she
serves. She enjoys helping with the Pan-
hellenic Council, and likes the diversity
of the people on Oglethorpe's small cam-
pus. Here, she has a good relationship
with her Residence Life staff, and that
makes her feel good. She also knows the
students she deals with, and they know
her as well. "I value that relationship with
the people here," she says; "it's what
makes a job not a job, but fun."

A Shooting Star

New Theater Director Blazes Briefly Over O. U.

"A play is where you take one way
to look at life and organize it into two
hours. The variety (of play-types) is as at-
tractive as the thing itself."

Well, Roger Mays' view of Ogle-
thorpe lasted only slightly longer than a
two hour play. Continuing in the tradi-
tion of short-term drama directors at
Oglethorpe, Mr. Mays remained only one
semester. However, in that semester, he
jbrought his considerable amount of expe-
rience and knowledge into play to en-
hance Oglethorpe's theater community.

Mr. Mays worked in a great variety
of theaters prior to his appointment here,
including American theater and Japa-
inese Noh Drama. He came to Oglethorpe
|through his affiliation with the Georgia

Shakespeare festival, as well as his
friendship with Lane Anderson, the
school's former theater director.

"Lane told me of the job and it fit
my talents as a Jack-of-all-trades," said
Mr. Mays regarding his appointment.
And indeed, his knowledge of stage man-
agement, set design, and directing, dem-
onstrated in the fall production of "Dra-
cula," proved him a worthy addition to
Oglethorpe's faculty. Though hired for a
year's term only, his early departure re-
presents a great loss to Oglethorpe. This
man of many talents and variety, who
glimpsed briefly by faculty and students
alike, will be missed.

Pictures are scenes from this
years production of Dracula.

and his family. 1 sometimes grew im-
patient with his reluctance to make
decisions and his apparent unwill-
ingness to express himself forcefully.
Doubtless he became annoyed by my
impetuosity and tactlessness. In time
I came to realize that Leo's apparent
diffidence was an integral facet of his
personality and character rather than
an unwillingness to express an opinion
or take a stand. He was a wonderful
listener asking questions that showed
he was interested in what I had to say.
We often quipped about students and
colleagues: his comments were invar-
iably kinder than mine. Only once did
Leo speak sharply to me. Years ago I
barged into his office to ask a student
assistant to help me with some work, in-
terrupting a task she was doing for Leo.
Correctly he reprimanded me for my
rudeness: the next day 1 apologized
and we never mentioned the incident
again. It) the best of my knowledge
that was our first and only contretemps.
Like brothers, we had our disagreements
but they were minor and never degen-
erated into acrimony

As we grew older we grew closer.
We often talked about travel, current
events, gardening, and whatever else we
fancied. During the past few years, a time
of troubles for him and me, we talked
frequently sharing our hope and
pain. Throughout those months Leo,
even though suffering himself, sought
to comfort me. We shared our hopes
for Dorothys recovery and the plans
they had. He told me of his love for
Dorothy and their children and how
much they meant to him. In spite of our
sadness we maintained some levity,
swapping stories about our ineptness
as cooks and housekeepers.

Although 1 shall always miss him, I
cherish our long and close friendship
and am grateful that 1 knew him for
25 years,

Professor of History

His Inspiration Remains:
A IHbute to Ijeo Bilando

Leo Bilancio was first to me a teacher

A master in the classroom, he could
take complex topics, such as the French
Revolution or the intrigue of the Nazis
and, with his characteristic outlines,
explain historical developments in a
way that was almost crystalline. His
class debates caused many students
to flower and develop in a manner
they would always remember He
reached many lives, Leo made a
history major of me. He was my
mentor He was the nucleus of my
Oglethorpe education.

Professor Bilancio was more than a
scholar and a great teacher We leamed
more from him than history. Wfe leamed
integrity and humanity That was the
measure of the man. He accorded
respect to everyone, and he really
listened and understood in a way that
was remarkable. Alumni everywhere
would probably agree no one could
build one's confidence like Professor
Bilancio. After talking to him, one left
with the feeling there were worlds to
conquer By the time I graduated
l^o was one of my best friends.
When I became a history teacher
he remained my model, although I
realized his qualities were too rare
to imitate. He was everything a pro-
fessor should be.

I returned to Oglethorpe as a staff
member and teacher in part to be
near Professor Bilancio. He advised
me long after graduation. We worked
and we played tennis and afterward
we talked. I never talked with Leo at
length without learning something. In
times of discouragement and despair,
there was never any doubt what I would
do: 1 would go to the Bilancio home. It
seemed Leo was always there for me.
and for others: a true confidant. He
would always end these talks with en-
couragement, and with an affectionate
Italian wave "Stay strong," he would
say I learned from Leo that all of us,
when we reach down deep inside,
can be strong in the face of adversity.
Indeed, Mr Bilancio epitomized the
beautiful strength of the granite
buildings on our campus,

My Tteacher, My Friend:
A Tribute to Leo Leo Bilancio

"The best teacher is .the one who kindles
an inner fire... {and] inspires the student
with a vision of what he may become. ."

Harold Garrett

Once in a great while we are
blessed with a teacher who
touches our hearts as pro-
foundly as he challenges our minds,
Leo Bilancio was such a teacher

Nearly 20 years after he first taught me
at Oglethorpe, Leo Bilancio is still very
much alive in my mind and heart. He had
an uncommon ability to bring his-
tory to life. The human insights he gave
us turned historical heroes of almost
mythical stature from Peter the Great,
to Napoleon, to Bismarck into
believable human beings We leamed
so much more from him than facts.
He integrated philosophy art. music,
religion, and literature into his lectures
so that we understood the intellectual
climate that motivated the historical
events of each era.

In the classroom, Leo Bilancios in-
satiable intellectual curiosity was con-
tagious. He made us eager to learn
all he could offer and make him proud
of us in the process. His expectations
of us were beyond those we had of
ourselves. By expecting only the best
from us, he got it even from those
who did not realize their own poten-
tial until Leo showed how much he
believed in them, lust as he made
history's heroes more human, he
made us want to be heroes. He held
his students to the highest academic
goals, but made reaching them an
exciting challenge, instead of a chore,

Leo Bilancio was a brilliant scholar
and a dedicated teacher but long
after the facts he taught us are bank-
ed in memory, the essence of the
man will remain. He was above all,
an unfailingly kind and caring man
who deeply respected and genuinely
liked his students. Many nights Leo
would answer his doorbell after 1 1
p.m. to find a troubled student stan-
ding on his stoop. He would invite

The New Japanese School

On October 5th. the University an-
nounced that the Seigakuin Schools of
Tokyo. Japan, will open a kindergarten
and elementary school in Atlanta. Ogle-
thorpe and Seigakuin are "sister" institu-
tions which have been developing a coop-
erative relationship. Their similar curric-
ulum programs in the area of early child-
hood education made this joint effort
ideal.

The Seigakuin International School
is the first elementary school to be estab-
lished in the United States under private
Japanese sponsorship, and it is the first
to be established in cooperation with an
American university.

The school which is to be located at
the site of the former Jim Cherry School
building on the university campus, will
begin in September of 1990. At first it
will only be a primary school of kinder-
garten through third grade students. The
anticipation is that it will eventually be-
come a junior high school.

Students of Japanese origin living in
the metro-Atlanta region will be encour-
aged to attend this institution which will
be using Japanese standards, styles, and
language. Seigakuin and Oglethorpe are
attempting to serve the 6, 000 Atlanta
Japanese people who move in and out of
the country. Many of them have children
who experience set backs of having to
learn a second language at an early age,
only to return to Japan in a few years.
Students who attend Seigakuin Interna-
tional School will be able to return to Ja-
pan and continue their education more
easily.

Officials present at the signing,
which included Dr. Donald S Stanton,
and Dr. Hideo Ohki (Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Seigakuin
Schools), were very enthusiastic about
this joint effort to make Japanese-speak-
ing education possible.

Boar's Head

New Initiates for the ODK Society

December 1st marked the night of
I time-honored tradition at Oglethorpe
the annual Boar's Head Ceremony.
Phis evening event ushers in the holiday
eason with entertainment, food, and an
ibundance of fellowship, while also serv-
ng as a reminder of Oglethorpe's English
leritage.

As a part of the ritual, the initiates
if Omicron Delta Kappa are recognized.
)DK is at) honorary leadership fraternity
vhich annually inducts those students,
acuity and staff members who exhibit
lutstanding achievements in areas such

)DK members was held in the Great
^all prior to the main program. The 1989
nductees included John Baker, Henry
$roitman, Scott McKelvey, Beth Morri-
on, Amanda Paetz, and Renita Rocker.

The ceremony continued in Lupton
Auditorium with the presentation of the
loar's head by the initiates and current
nembers of ODK. A Christmas concert
rranged by Dr. Irwin Ray provided the
vening entertainment, with performan-

ces by the University Singers, the Univer-
sity Chorale, the Atlanta Early Music
Consort, and various student solos. Dr.
Madaleine Picciotto enlightened the
guests with a reading of a special Ha-
nukkah tale.

The event of the season ended with
the lighting of the tree at the top of Lup-
ton Tower. A reception in the Great Hall
followed.

Senior Statistics

The Results Are In. .The Envelope Please

Here are the results from a question-
naire sent to seniors regarding their per-
sonal habits and beliefs. Senior Statistics
is a new section in the Yamacraw, which
was emulated from the annual at Yale.
Since this is the first year for this section,
responses will be compared to that of
Yale's. Sections in italics represent re-
sponses from the Yale Class of 1917.

Politics

Most of us have voted one time.

47% would serve during wartime if
drafted, one saying,"Hell, Yes!" 42% said
they would not, and 1% said, "It de-
pends."

50%' of those responding claimed to
be members of the Republican Party
while 22%' were Democrats and 5% were
Libertarians. The rest were undecided.

At Yale in 1917 Republicans claim-
ed 78% of the vote and the Democrats
only got 1 9%. There was one Prohibition-
ist.

60% of the Republicans here, were
Pro-Choice and 25%- of the Democrats
were Pro-Life, and most of the latter were
Catholic. Overall, 78%- of the responding
Seniors said they were Pro-Choice while
only 22% claimed to be Pro-Life. All the
Pro-Lifer's who responded opposed Pre-
marital sex.

And now for the big surprise . . . 36%
said they trust President Bush while the
new "Super-duper, extra-special, all-
powerful, "(I think that was the new title)
Soviet President Mikail Gorbachev was
trusted by an overwhelming 42%.

So Much for Politics . . .

Personal Stuff

The average age at graduation is 21,
but some were as old as 51.

Twice as many seniors who respond-
ed approve of pre-marital sex as those
who don't.

77% drink alcohol in some form or
another. Liquor and wine are just slightly
more popular than beer. 76% of those
who drink alcohol did so before entering
college. At Yale, the figure was 31%. Red
Dot (Brookhaven Liquor) is the most
popular package store, beating the com-
petition 3 to 1. 17% have never become
sick from over indulgence. But of those
who have, the average number of times
per person is 6.57.

38 Senior

Religion

One half of the responding Seniors
no longer practices the religious denomi-
nation they were raised under.

The Party

In response to the question, "What
organization throws the best parties?"
The overwhelming response was X <l> with
38% of the vote and the next runner-up
was 2 A E with 13%.

As for what person throws the best
parties, most people considered them-
selves to be the best host. However, the
household of Dana Trotsky, Paige Mack-
ey, and Elizabeth Brown took second
place.

The Class

23% of the Seniors who responded
said they don't skip any classes, and of

those who do, the average number of
times per semester is 8. The most com-
mon reason for skipping was sleep or sick-
ness.

Most of those responding, do not
study in the library. 52% prefer home,
while 29% prefer the library, and 14%- go
to a friend's house. Goslin and "the park"
got 4% of the vote each as well.

Of those polled, junior year seemed
the hardest and freshman year the easi-
est.

The most difficult class was "any-

thing by Dr. Orme" or economics, while
the easiest class was introduction to Edu-
cation or English Composition I. The
most valuable course was Western World
Literature ! or Computer Applications.

The most inspiring instructor was
voted to be Dr. Bill Brightman.

60% of the seniors polled have visited
the house of at least one professor, and
of those who have, the average number
of times or professors is 2.

Statistics 39

Senior Statistics

Reading

The most popular poets were E. E.
Cummings and T. S. Elliot. The most
popular writers were J. D. Salinger and
Steven King, while the best loved charac-
ters in fiction were Raskolnikov, Doro-
thea, and Scarlet O'Hara. In 1918 Yale
preferred Tennyson for poet. Dickens for
prose, and Falstaff for character in fic-
tion.

The most widely read newspaper is
the New Y'ork Times , followed by Cre-
ative Loafing . Yale's class of '17 agreed
on the New York Times .

Residence Issues

first year, 3 in 4 lived on campus, but by
the time their last year rolled around only
3 out of 10 resided in the dormitories.

86% of the responding Seniors who
have cars now, had them before entering
college.

The most common pet is the cat, out-
numbering dogs by 2 to 1 . Even fish beat
out dogs in sheer number. Three quarters
of the Seniors have some kind of pet.
(Dear Housing Director, Not to worry
. . . most who had pets were members of
the previous statistic which cited 1 10 stu-
dents off campus.)

Money

year here, while the other half received
an average of $1 105.00 per semester. Of
that latter half, those Seniors spent an av-
erage of $1770.00 (Good money man-
agers), ironically, 50% of the entire Se-
nior polling wants to go on to Graduate
School (looks like it might be wise to con-
sider a loan).

Name Dropppers

Only 5% could name all the OSA
Representatives and 42% could not name
one of them. However, one must remem-
ber that this is the same group that trus-
ted Gorby over George.

During the Senior year, 45 lived on Half of the responding Seniors re-

campus and 1 10 lived off campus. In their ceived no money from home in their last

Travel

28% of those responding to this poll
have never been abroad, while of those
who have been outside the United States,
reported traveihng an average of 3 times.
26'r of the Yale class had travelled
abroad.

The average Senior has visited 1 8 of
the United States, in contrast to Yale,
where the average was 15.

ground, and Trustee Stephen J. Schmidt, '40 is

42 O.U. Day

Stephen Schmidt

Honored on his 50th Aniversary

Back in 1940, Dr. Thornwell Jacobs
launched a project which would last until
81 13 A. D. That project, better known as
the "Crypt of Civilization," now cele-
brates its 50th birthday. On February 1 5,
1990, O. U. Day, the campus celebrated
that birthday, by creating and sealing a
smaller crypt which is to be opened in just
10 years.

The day also included a visit from
the ghost of Thornwell Jacobs (played by
Darryl Wade, "88), who promised to re-
turn every fifty years to ensure the safety
of the crypt. Dr. Jacobs was pleasantly
surprised to see that crypt was un-
touched. The crypt which is the world's
largest time capsule was created for the
purpose of showing generations far into
the future what Earth, man, and his cul-
ture were like in 1940. Most likely such
a generation will perceive the 1940's
much like today's man perceives the cave
man days.

The new crypt is to be sealed for a
shorter time in an effort to truly analyze
how fast the world is changing. Stephen
J. Schmidt, "40 was chosen to seal the
crypl. He was also presented an invitation
by Dr. Stanton, to return 10 years later
for the opening ceremony.

The festivities did not stop there. Ac-
cording to tradition, the University
choose one man to honor. As in years
past, such a man was typically known for
having a long dedicated life with the
school. This years man was no different.
The man chosen had graduated from the
university in 1940 and for the next fifty
years he would put in many long hours
to make the school the best. Coinciden-
tally, he helped put items in the 1940
Crypt. He would later become a Trustee
and then Chairman of the Board of Trus-
tees. He has just recently retired as
Chairman. The man honored on this day

was none other than, Stephen J. Schmidt.

Even after his retirement from the
Chairmanship, Mr. Schmidt is frequent-
ly on campus helping out with important
alumni events. His heart has always been
and always will be with this institution.

O. U. Day also included a student
center-sized feast. Foods of every type
could be found in the various conference
rooms in the building. Everyone present
was also presented with a black and gold
invitation to the opening ceremony to be
held on Oglethorpe Day, February 10,
2000.

It will certainly be interesting to see
how the campus, the people, the culture,
and the world have changed even in just
a short ten years.

ABORTION

Pro-Choice Comes to Oglethorpe

Sitting in the Conference Room C
on a Wednesday evening at about 9:30
PM, you get the chance to see many dif-
ferent types of people. There are mem-
bers of fraternities and sororities with
Greek letters plastered across their
chests, girls dressed all in black and guys
wearing earrings with bandanas tied
around their heads. But despite their out-
ward differences, these people have a
common interest. They are all members
of the newly formed Oglethorpe Students
For Choice.

The OSFC began as a conversation.
Immediately after the Supreme Court
decision giving Missouri the right to limit
state funding of Abortions, Shane Little,
who was working for GREENPEACE
this summer, called Shane Hornbuckle to
see if he was interested in starting an en-
vironmentalist group on campus. Because
of the Court's decision, Hornbuckle sug-
gested they try to form a pro-choice
organization. So they copied the constitu-
tion of Vanderbilt Students For Choice,
made contacts with Atlanta-area mem-
bers of NARAL (National Abortion
Rights Action League) and Planned Par-
enthood, and appointed officers.

It's 9:45PM and Paige MacKey, the
president of OSFC, opens the evening
meeting with an apology. "I'm sorry last
week's meeting was so chaotic." Her long
red hair spills into her eyes and she wipes
it away with a grin. Papers flutter and
shuffle in various directions around the
room: a thick packet labeled "Choice"
containing "Anti-choice" versus "Pro-
choice" arguments and photocopies of
important newspaper articles, an OSFC
info sheet listing important dates and all
of the officers and committee heads, a
phone list showing over fifty members.

50 Controversy

.7 IHM "

Paige turns the meeting over to Smythe
Duval, OSFC coordinator.

Smythe stands up to speak; his deep
voice booms over the rattle of the papers.
"I'm passing around a member informa-
tion sheet; please fill it out if you haven't
filled one out already. I'm trying to get
up a data-base with names and personal
info on all of our members. Also, you may
notice I only put our initials on the top
of the phone list. It was suggested that we
take off the name at the top so that, in
case the list fell into the wrong hands, no
one would call you up and harass you."
He also mentions that people need to start
paying their dues. Paige takes over again.

She discusses the upcoming abortion
rights march in Atlanta on November
1 2th. "We need at least twenty people in
order to call ourselves a delegation," she
says; it is important to her that they have
a delegation because she wants the group
to appear strong. She also reminds people
to show up to work on signs and banners

for the march. As the meeting ends, abo!
half of the twenty-five or so members
attendance stand in line to buy the blaij
and gold OSFC buttons that Paige mad]
As Paige sees it, abortion is the ci'l
rights issue of the '80s, and it is importa;
to get campus students active. "The inc;
vidual can't do it alone," she says. "We''
a nucleus to tell the students what thj
can do, but we need to get students i
volved." the OSFC's goal is a somewht
modest 70 members, about 10% of t
undergraduate population. "Numb
one, we need to be vocal in any and evt;
way because we are the majority and
need to let everyone know, but we ne
student involvement." Paige is worki
hard to make sure everyone on camp
at least knows about the Novemt
march. She passes out flyers and puts
notices all over campus. But the club 1[

ther plans for the rest of the year.

"Of course, there are more marches
ext semester in Washington; and we'd
ke to send a lot of people,'" says Little,
but that takes money." Aside from mar-
hing, some members would like to begin
scorting women who want abortions
cross pickett lines. The OSFC is also
ying to start a letter-writing campaign,
snnifer Lewis, head of the Letter Writ-
ig Committee, has come up with a form
itter and is trying to get the address of
ich member's Congressman. And, per-
aps their most ambitious task will be an
ttempt to change one of Oglethorpe's
jlicies: they want the O. U. clinic to be-
n dispensing birth control devices for
)th men and women, and also to provide
erature on family planning.

It is another Wednesday night and
ven guys and almost twice as many girls
t in another OFSC meeting. Robin
utchinson of GARAL (Georgia Abor-
Dn Rights Action League) talks about
tone- banking. She wants members
om Oglethorpe to call around to local
o-choice sympathizers to make certain

that they are aware of the November
12th march. Several people sign up.
Smythe passes around this week's revised
phone list. It contains 40 names.

Paige starts to talk about the march
again. She reminds everybody that the
group needs twenty people in order to call
themselves a delegation. She also tells
them to be sure and wear purple and gold
to the march. These were the colors of the
women's sufferage movement in the
twenties, and they are the official colors
for the march. Then she begins to com-
plain.

"No one showed up to make signs for
the march," she says. "If we don't make
signs, you won't have anything to hold on

Sunday. Coming to the meetings is great,
but we need to work on other stuff, too.
I'd rather you get things done than just
come to the meetings." The members
seem to understand.

After the meeting, Paige hands out
markers and paper so that people can
make flyers for the march. One of the
guys with long hair and an earing passes
around a cartoon of George Bush. It
shows the President's head slowly turning
into a coat hanger. Paige laughs, what
does she think of Bush? "I could get
mean, but I won't," she says. "I'm mostly
disappointed by his opinions." Someone
praise her for her organization. "It's all
a facade," she says, grinning.

Abortion 51

52 Controversy

In 1789, the people of France voiced their desires to become a self-governing nation. Their cries of revolution sounded throughout
; world. Now, 200 years later, the people of the world gave voice again to their desire for freedom. And once again, the world was
Iced to listen.

In January, as a replica of a hot air balloon from the 18th century floated overhead, thousands gathered in Paris' Tuileries Gardens
pelebrate the bicentennial of the French Revolution. Their cries of joy echoed the cries of their forefathers who fought for their liberty,
jtating to the world their desire that France remain a nation governed by the people.

In February, 1 5, 000 Soviet troops returned home along the Salang Highway, their ten year effort to supress the will of Afghanistan's
jple an admitted failure. Their retreat left the Soviet-supported government of Afghanistan alone in the struggle to control the rebellious
izens. The Afghanis had spoken, and the U. S. S. R. had been forced to listen.

In April, night after night, by bicycle and by foot, the future leaders of China gathered in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. Numbering
D,000, these students and activists formed the largest demonstration to shock Chinese soil since the Communist Revolution of 1949.
ough their tongues crying for democracy were cut out prematurely by the Chinese government, for a few short weeks their voice caused
world to stop and anxiously listen.

In November, the first citizens from East Berlin were allowed by guards to pass through the Berlin Wall without having their identity
3ers and possessions scrutinized. After 28 grim years, the symbol of oppression that dominated the Cold War had finally begun to
mble. The East Germans had spoken for nearly three decades, and finally, their government listened.

In May, 1990, 140 students will graduate from Oglethorpe University, to join their voices with the common voice of mankind. May
ir voices continue to foster the call for freedom heard round the world this rapidly changing year. '

RADICALISM AND REVOLUTION

Visiting Profes-
sor Speaks on
Reign of Terror

During Oglethorpe's week com-
memorating the French Revolution, Dr.
Sutherland, a professor from the Univer-
sity of Maryland and an expert and au-
thor of a book on the subject, lectured on
the validity of the Revolution, in relation
to the morality of a movement that pro-
duced the murderous Reign of Terror.

The Revolution began with the high-
est hopes of establishing liberty for the
people, so the pressence of the Terror
seems to taint its goals. The Declaration
of the Rights of Man provided security,
freedom, and equality for all of France.
Yet the Terror seems to grate against all
these ideals.

The Terror came about as response
to a three-pronged crisis. France was at
war with nearly every great power of the
time: Austria, Prussia, Hungary, En-
gland and Spain. By 1793, to support
these wars, the French government had
to begin conscripting soldiers, an unheard
of process. The outraged peasants revol-
ted. The economy collapsed. The only
way to finance the war was through taxa-
tion and inflation. The angry peasants got
angrier, refusing to participate in the
economy. The revolutionary goverment
suspected a counter-revolution was in op-
eration, provoked by England.

To deal with this imagined counter-
revolution, the French National Conven-
tion passed laws forming revolutionary
tribunals. These tribunals became re-
sponsible for the public execution of any-
one suspected of attempting to sabotage
the work of the revolution. These execu-
tions were meant to frighten the people
into submission.

This disregard for fair treatment of
individual rights became known as the
Terror, and was enacted by the French
government despite its blatant violation
of the Declaration. Yet Dr. Sutherland
feels we should be careful of condemning
the Terror despite its apparent lack of
morality, for at the time, it was legal and

the people did have a voice to cry out
against it. The Terror was meant to de-
fend the blossoming democracy of France
against what they believed to be a very
real threat. Though attrocities were com-
mited, it did help France on its way to

Freedom. And it is on this highly con-
troversial, thought provoking note that
students eagerly questioned Dr. Suth-
erland upon the completion of the lec-
ture.

64 Revolution

the student inside and sit for hours
being the encouraging listener and
counselor that the young man or
woman sought.

What was it about the man that en-
couraged such closeness and trust?
Leo's compassion was as big as his
intellect. A gentle, unassuming per-
son, his humility made him easily
embarrassed by public recognition.
He never seemed to fully realize the
depth of affection his students felt
for him. A devoted family man, Leo
took great pride in the fine character
and accomplishments of his beloved
wife, Dorothy son Ivan, and
daughter lane.

It was my great privilege to have had
Leo Bilancio for a teacher but I cherish
even more having had him for a
friend. Our friendship began when he
and Dorothy delighted me with a re-
quest to baby-sit for ten-year-old Ivan
and four-year-old lane. 1 witnessed
firsthand the strong bonds of love in
their closely-knit family and joined in
their frequent laughter All of us en-
joyed many dinners out and fun
times together during my college
years, and lane even became my
Oglethorpe Kappa Delta sorority's
much-loved mascot.

My friendship with Leo and his
family continued throughout the
yeai5 since graduation. Whenever I
visited my family in Atlanta and stop-
ped by Oglethorpe, Leo gave me his
warm, appreciative welcome. His in-
terest in his students was lifelong,
and he took pleasure in the close
ties he maintained with them.

In writing this remembrance I came
across a passage attributed to one of
Leo's favorite historical figures. Otto
von Bismarck. It is ironic, yet fitting
that the words of Bismarck describe
Leo Bilancio so well: "A really great
man is known by three signs
generosity . . . humanity " . . . (and)
moderation." It is with great sadness
that we mourn the loss of Leo Bilan-
cio, but we can find strength in the
warmth of our memories of this un-
forgettable man who taught us as
much about life as about learning."

Anne Cheek Meyer, 72

Leo Bilancio, A Gentle Giant

Leo was a human being who
respected persons for their indivi-
dual worth and worked with
them to realize their full potential. A
gentleman a gentle man a gen-
tle giant. One of his many strengths
was the ability to listen-REALLY
LISTEN.

"Until a man has learned to listen,
he has no business teaching: until he
realizes that every man has something
of truth and wisdom to offer he does
not begin to learn. It is only when he
sees how each of his fellows surpasses
him that he begins to be wise to himself
and to his fellow men."

Markings, by Dag Hammarskjold

From the eulogy of James Bohart,
Professor of Music

In Respect and in Retrospect:
Concerning Mr. Leo Bilancio

At various Oglethorpe University
campus functions. I had the privilege,
of letting Professor Bilancio know
how fortunate I felt having been a
student under his guidance in several

European history courses. My major
was history. During my first semester
I received only a B in his class. It was
the primary jolt to restart me down the
more scholastic avenues of history!

In my estimation. Professor Bilancio was
endowed with the traits an esteemed
college professor should have. He
was honest, and shared his great
wealth of knowledge with his students.
He graded fairly and took the welfare
and interest of his students to heart.
He also let it be known he was a
dedicated family man which impressed
me deeply Professor Bilancio was
supportive, yet he expected us to do
our assigned work.

My husband, |oe, and I enjoyed many
good conversations with Dorothy and
Leo Bilancio at campus functions
through the years. We will certainly
miss seeing them. It is my sincere
hope that Oglethorpe faculty and
those alumni who aspire to follow a
career in education will emulate Pro-
fessor Leo Bilancio's example and
'pass it on! "

FLASHBACK . . .

Oglethorpe in its Early Years

Oglethorpe was founded back in 1835, and since that time many things have changed and some have re-
mained as time honored traditions. The staff of the Yamacraw has done some research into this area. We found
some very interesting things that we thought might be of interest to not only the students but to the faculty and
adminstration as well. In these next few pages you will find the preamble to the Charter, the old entrance require-
ments, the old college laws, and the course of study for 1835.

(Ehart^r

Whereas, the cultivation of piety and the diffusion of useful knowledge greatly tend to preserve the liberty
and to advance the prosperity of a free people; and whereas, these important objects are best attained by training
the minds of the rising generation in the study of useful science, and imbuing their hearts with the sentiments
of religion and virtue; and whereas, it is the duty of an enlightened and patriotic legislature to authorize, protect
I and foster institutions established for the promotion of these important objects-

Freshman Class of 1835

The Admissions process has changed somewhat since
1835. For those of you who think it is difficult to get accepted
to the school now, just read the following entrance requirements
from old Oglethorpe University.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:

I. All examinations for admission into College shall be in
the presence of the Faculty, and no person shall be admitted
but by a vote taken by them for that purpose after his examina-
tion. ( Be sure to send each professor a gift if you don't test well.)

n. Candidates for the Freshman Class are examined in
Ceasar, Cicero's Select Orations, Virgil, Sallust, Greek Testa-
ment, (John's Gospel,) Graeca Minora or Greek Reader, Alge-
bra through Equations of the First Degree, together with Latin
and Greek Grammar; also, English Grammar, Geography and
Arithmetic. (Very similar to the SAT's.)

III. Every student, before he is admitted to an actual
standing in any class, shall obtain from the Treasurer of the
College, receipts by which it shall appear that he has complied
with the existing orders of the Trustees in regard to expenses;
which receipts he shall produce to the Officer of the College
who has at that time the instruction of the class into which he
desires to enter. If any officer admit a student to the recitations
of his class, without receipts, such officer shall be responsible
to the Treasurer for the expenses of such student at the com-
mencement of every College term. (Does this mean there is no
financial aid program?)

IV. If any student shall be received into College after the
commencement of a term, he shall pay the tuition, room-rent,
&c. , of the whole term.

V. No Student shall be admitted from any other College,
until he produces a certificate from the proper authority, of his
regular and honorable dismission and standing. (At least it is
easy to transfer.)

O.U. in 1835 67

College Laws in 1835 . . .

Today's rules and regulations are a little different than
those of the early years. Some have remained as a tradition,
while others have faded away. Some of these laws are quite fun-
ny. If anyone thought today's rules are too strict, the rules of
1835 will seem impossible.

I. The hours of study shall be from the time of morning
prayers till 1 o'clock. A. M. , in winter, and 7 A. M. , in summer-
from 9 A. M. till 12:00 noon- from 2 till 5 o'clock, P. M. in
winter, and 6 o'clock P. M. in summer- and from the ringing
of the evening bell at night; during which time every student
shall keep his room, unless called upon to recite, or unless ab-
sent by permission.

II. During the hours of relaxation no student shall go more
that one mile from the College without permission.

IV. Every student shall attend prayers in the Chapel,
morning and evening, and shall behave with gravity and rever-
ence during the service.

VI. Every student shall attend recitation within twenty-
four hours from the time of his arrival on the College grounds.

Vlll. No student shall visit or receive visits on the
Sabbath, or go beyond the bounds of the College Campus, un-
less with the express permission.

X. The students shall treat each other with uniform respect
and kindness.

XI. All fighting, striking, quarrelling, turbulent words or
behavior, profane language, violation of the Sabbath, shall be
regarded as high offenses. (What is a turbulent word?)

XII. Playing at billiards, cards or dice, or any other unlaw-
ful game, or at backgammon, or any game for a wager, in the
College is strictly forbidden. (Nothing worse than a bunch of
pool and backgammon players. )

XIII. No fire arms, sword canes, dirks, or any deadly
weapons shall be allowed to be used or kept about the College.
(It is a good thing I left my dirk at home. )

XIV. No intoxicating liquor shall be allowed to be brought
into the College, or used by the students. (What if 1 am 21?)

XV. No student shall keep a horse or carraige, nor shall
he be allowed to hire a horse or carraige during the session,
without permission of the faculty. (1 guess parking was a prob-
lem back then too. Horses hate speed bumps anyway. )

XVI. No student shall be permitted to attend any places
of fashionable amusement, such as theatres, horse races or
dancing assemblies during the term. (Fun is forbidden)

XVII. Every student during the hours of study, shall strict-
ly abstain from hallooing, singing, loud talking, playing on a
musical instrument, or other noise in the College. (How does
one halloo?)

XVIII. Every student shall be responsible for the preserva-
tion of order in the room he occupies, unless he can make it
appear he was not to blame. (Somethings never change . . .

"No, my roomate did that, honest.")

XIX. The Faculty shall have the authority to break open
and enter any chamber at all times, when resisted; and if an>
student refuses to admit an officer, or to assist him surpressing
any disorder when required, he shall be regarded as guilty ol
high offense.

XXI. The Faculty shall punish by admonition, public oi
private, by rustication, suspension, dismission, expulsion-or ir
cases where there is no prospect of reformation, and yet no fla-
grant crime committed, they may privately send the individua
home.

XXII. As the laws are few and general, and the govern
ment designed to be that of parental authority, and as cases
may occur that are not expressly forbidden by law, much is lef
to the discretion of the Faculty, according to the circumstance
and nature of the case. (A few laws??? What did they leavo
out?)

This was no easy time to live in and one should stay in goo(
with the Faculty. 1 think most of us would soon be expelled fron
Oglethorpe in 1835.

Katie Garrigan

The Family Tradition Continues . .

When Bill Garrigan waited in the
Great Hail of Hearst tor his date, cheer-
leading captain Judy Hayden, to come
down from her dorm room, he never
imagined that his future daughter would
walk the same stairs en route to class. Bill
would go on to be captain of the basket-
ball team his senior year, then to marry
.ludy after graduation, and eventually to
live in Boston, Massachusetts where they
would raise two daughters. One of these
daughters, Katie, would follow in her par-
ents" footsteps to O. U. where she would
find that things had changed since the
1960"s when Hearst Hall was a dorm,
boys couldn't go in girls" rooms, and O.
U."s 100 students actually had school
spirit.

Katie came to Oglethorpe after her
freshman year at Assumption College in
Worcester. Massachusetts. She wanted
to try a school in the South, and her Dad
suggested his alma mater. As a child she
had visited the school, but not until she
returned in search of a college did she ap-
preciate and fall in love with the beautiful
campus.

The enrollment had grown since her
parents were students, but it was still the
small type of school that Katie was look-
ing for at the time. She admits that the
school's size is "a double-edged sword,""
where it's good to know everybody but
then everybody knows everything. Her
dad says that"s one thing that hasn't
changed. He recalls,"You couldn't do
anything without everybody knowing
about it."

Katie feels that she has an advan-
tage over other students whose parents
didn't attend O. U. "They know how
everything works down here. They know
what is expected and they don"t expect
more than that.""

And will she pass this advantage on
to her kids? "If they are looking for a
small school l"ll encourage them to go to

O. U. But if you're not ready for a small
school you can't hack it."

Katie has hacked it. She was a psy-
chology major and a member of Psi Chi,
the psychology honorary. She was a
founding member of the women's club
soccer team and a participant in all intra-
mural sports. Her plans include the possi-
bility of attending graduate school for
psychology or marketing research, in
either the Southern or Boston region. As
a native of Boston, she loves Atlanta, and
if she had to leave, she would miss her
friends from school. "I'm very glad I
came down here because of the friends
I've made. Maybe I will stay here."

Nicole Caucci

The Very Traditional Student

Nicole Caucci has always consid-
ered herself "a very traditional person,"
labeled as a "nice southern girl" though
she is not from the South. So what does
this nice southern girl want to do with her
life? Why, break the traditions of our na-
tion and become the first female Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, of course,
bringing liberty and justice for all! Actu-
ally, that's just a joke from a class discus-
sion with Dr. Brightman; Nicole's real
goal lies in international law. She jokes
that one day, she might defend friend Ra-
chel Fowler from some legal trouble
stemming from her involvement with
Amnesty International.

But seriously, Nicole respects tradi-
tion, and loves Oglethorpe for its roots in
the buildings and things such as the annu-
al Boar's Head ceremony. Nicole comes
from a family full of tradition: her father
exemplifies the old idea of the American
Dream. He came over with his family
from Lyon, France, and settled in New
York, penniless. Yet now he's one of the
top executives in a major corporation
based in Phoenix.

Perhaps the determination that led
him to this position rubbed off on Nicole
in her ambitions. During her four-year
stay at Oglethorpe, she's served in many
student government positions, including
president of OSA; she was the service
vice-president of APO at one time, and

is a sister of Chi Omega, as well as a little
sister of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. She's ear-
ned many academic honors as well, in-
cluding membership in the prestigious
honor society Omicron Delta Kappa.

Always striving herself, Nicole finds
disappointment in the fact that many
people assume they can't succeed. But as
she sees it herself, just because she's a
mere undergraduate at Oglethorpe to-
day, "fifteen years from now that doesn't
mean everyone won't know me."

Troy DeGroff with a look of surprise

A

Poetry is like
Necessity, for Troy

Why is poetry important to
Troy Degroff? "It allows me to work
out problems." Troy DeGroff, the
Oglethorpe University Poet Laure-
leate, feels that poetry is both "fun
and an obsession." Troy's writings
have been a source of expression,
while the writings of others have also
as a form of entertainment.

However, poetry does not stop
there for Troy DeGroff, as it has led
him to become Vice President of
Sigma Tau Delta, to found in con-
junction with Wendy Goldberg the
Poetry Workshop, and give orations
of poetry at Night of the Arts. His
creative writing ability can also be

seen in The Tower, and in the Yama-

craw (on which he is the Copy Edi-
tor)

Writing and reading of poetry
are not the only aspects of the art
which Troy enjoys. He also enjoys
the performance of poetry either
through orations or through the me-
dium of music. Orators such as Wil-
liam S. Burrows and John Giorno
and musical artists such as Laurie
Anderson and Kate Bush are of par-
ticular interest to Troy.

In an effort to explain his inter-
est, Troy cites Wallace Stevens who
says that poetry "Defines the limits
of your own existence."

This Junior is
xercising Authority

"One, and two, and lift that
leg!" exclaims Wendy as she leads
fitness-minded students through
Aerobic routines every weeknight in
the Lupton Pit. Concerned with her
own health, Wendy organized the
regular Aerobic sessions in order to
motivate herself what better way
to force oneself to keep fit than to
make twenty other people depend on
you for leadership?

Wendy originally came to Ogle-
thorpe under the impression that the
school was too small for her ambi-
tions. Soon, however, she realized
that the school had much to offer.

From her experience here, she now
looks forward to four more years of
graduate work. An English major
with art and writing minors, Wendy
served an internship with Southpoint
Magazine, where her writing and
leadership skills found practical ap-
plication.

Wendy feels comfortable at
Oglethorpe, mainly from the relaxed
air of the campus, which she attri-
butes to the diversity of the student
population. This diversity helped
Wendy to instigate the actions she
feels are best for her future.

"I love my fluorescent green boxer shorts!"
exclaims Eddie Zarecor as he notices the bil-
lions green seeping through the rip in the seam
of his jeans. Eddie's always dressed a bit differ-
ently, matching combat boots with shorts and
a coat, but that doesn't stop him from helping
out where he thinks help is needed.

Eddie intends to use his major in political
studies to go on to law school, eventually helping
a non-profit organizations while supporting
himself through teaching on the side.

Eddie is very socially conscious, serving ac-
tively in the Public Affairs Forum and Thalians,
and intermittently with Amnesty International.
This spring, Eddie started ECOS: Environmen-
tally Concerned Oglethorpe Students, to sup-
port local efforts at saving the environment. He
felt the school needed an environmental group,
since there were already groups for Pro-Choice
and civil rights on campus. Perhaps through
Eddie's efforts, the trees will stay as green as
his underwear.

Finding herself

n the Sounds of Others

Some of Fatima Durrani's fondest memo-
ries are of the steam of her Mother's hot curry
chicken and the cool grass of Kensington Park
beneath her small brown feet.

Fatima is a commuter student. She's com-
muted all her life from Pakistan to England
to America. After completing high school in En-
gland, Fatima returned to Pakistan to reexper-
ience her native culture. There, she sounded out
the wells of her people and religion. However,
Fatima would like to remain in the U. S., for
here, she sees more opportunities to develop her-
self while helping and understanding others.

For instance, this year Fatima held an in-
ternship position at the Carter Presidential Cen-
ter. There, she worked with former President
Carter on a project to rectify flagrant abuses of
human rights in East Timor, a small island na-
tion in Asia. Through her participation, Fatima
felt that she helped the people of Timor find a
voice against their oppressors. And in that voice,
Fatima heard a part of herself, calling out to aid
the lives of others.

Myers Brown
aving our heritage.

Myers Brown appears to be your
average mild-mannered freshman.
However, since he was fourteen,
Myers has slipped out of his ordi-
nary, everyday clothes into more dra-
matic costumes.

But no, Myers can't leap build-
ings in a single bound, and his cos-
tumes are not made of blue tights and
red capes. The costumes he puts on
come from the 1 860's Myers regu-
larly participates in reenactments of
the American Civil War. He even
had a part in the movie "North and
South," and was present to reenact
the battle of Gettysburg at its
125th anniversary. Myers partici-

pates in these mock battles even with
his busy school schedule and involve-
ment in [SIGMA] [ALPHA] [EPSI-
LON], various other clubs and other
organizations, and intramural
sports.

Myers feels that it is important
for Americans to remain conscious of
the forces that shaped the nation into
what it is today. His participation in
these reenactments help to remind
people of the one of the most stressful
periods our nation has ever under-
gone. He feels strongly that we
should remain conscious of our heri-
tage.

Student Visitors

A small group from West Germany

They brought Berhn to us pieces
of The Wall they cut themselves, books,
brochures, postcards, maps. But it was
more than that. Berlin is more than pic-
tures and symbols. It is about people
people making changes, connections.

For almost two weeks this Spring,
Oglethorpe students and faculty were
given a chance to make connections with
some of those people thirteen students
and two professors from the Menzel
Oberschule in West Berlin. Leaving their
home where differences in East and West
are slowly being reconciled by the break-
down of a wall, these Berliners set out to
break down some other barriers those
between Germany and the U. S.

Sure, there were obvious differences.
The visitors spoke a language that is itself
new to the O. U. curriculum this year,
and even those studying German were
left staring confusedly at the fast moving
foreign lips. And the southern "Hi-how-

are-you's" came across as superficial to
the Berliners, more accustomed to greet-
ing only a few close friends. But, with The
Wall serving as example, these minor dif-
ferences were successfully overcome.

Of course, it helped that all fifteen
spoke English fluently, and that most of
the students were open to experiencing
another culture. At first, though, the con-
nection was not being made, partly be-
cause the Berliners were away from cam-
pus a lot, touring places few Oglethorpe
students have seen Coca-Cola, CNN,
the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center, and
various colleges around Atlanta. But
eventually they found time in their hectic
schedule to mingle with Americans. In
the Talmadge Room the students gave a
presentation on the many aspects of Ber-
lin education, racism, and various cul-
tures, complete with a slide show called
"A Day in Berlin." They also presented
Oglethorpe with a piece of The Wall in

104 Visitors

a modern art structure.

Soon the Berliners were putting to-
gether pieces of Atlanta pizza at Fel-
lini's, shopping at Lenox Mall, O. U. clas-
ses and fraternity parties, and the festival
at Little Five Points. This gave O. U. and
Berlin students the opportunity to find
their connection a way to break down
the wall. Sure, the Germans come from
halfway around the world, and the Am-
ericans put ten times more ice in their
drinks, but Daniel and Isaac like rap mu-
sic, and Dagmar wants to be an actress,
and Tanja and Oliver like to dance, and
Ole likes billiards, while Soerren is a
track star and Martin plays rock 'n' roll
guitar, and Michael likes to tell jokes, and
Julia wants to work in an American hotel,
Marcus likes to talk to girls, Menekse en-
joys watching movies, and Corvin wants
to be a commercial pilot. And they all like
pizza.

They brought us Berlin. And maybe
it's not so different after all.

Star struck

armen Bernard aims high

Outgoing and ambitious, sophomore Car-
men Bernard certainly lives up to her reputa-
tion. Carmen describes herself as "confident
and assertive." "I always wanted to be differ-
ent," she says. With the support of loving par-
ents. Carmen has always reached out and ex-
plored.

Carmen, who grew up in Orlando, Florida,
was naturally drawn towards the magic of Dis-
ney World with its wealth of its entertainment.
This gave rise to her interest public relations
work. On campus. Carmen works in the public
relations office, where her co-workers describe
her as invaluable, definitely doing well in the fu-
ture.

A major turning point in her life came
when. Carmen worked as a "peer minister" her
senior year in Catholic high school. There, Car-
men wrote a speech on her faith and how it
helped her. }icv speech gained her much notori-
ety, including an interview on a local television
station. With her first widespread exposure to
public attention. Carmen knew a career work-
ing with the public was for her.

A woman who sings
ongs of Sympathy

"Moons are magical over the
ocean, especially after a storm, when
the waves are big. We used to swim
out there at night." Elizabeth Watts,
a freshman, was raised in Savannah,
close to the sea. Perhaps some of its
magic worked its way into her, trans-
forming her into the unique, caring
individual she is today.

Students have already been as-
tounded by the deep, rolling feeling
conveyed in her voice, through her
performances at Night of the Arts,
In "Working," and with the Univer-
sity Singers. Music is very important
to Elizabeth: "Music is the way I ex-

press myself; it's my art; it's the way
1 can touch other people, even if it's
just in a small way."

Elizabeth would like to help oth-
er people. She's especially concerned
with the homeless in Atlanta. She
sees them on the way to Little Five
points, holding signs, "I will work for
food," and it concerns her.

Elizabeth truly cares about her
fellow man. One reason she loves the
ocean so much is that "It brings ev-
eryone closer together." Surely Eliz-
abeth, with her voice and compas-
sion, will do the same.

Homecoming . . .

The Fun did not Stop at the Game

Homecoming 1990 began with a
bang Saturday afternoon. February 3rd,
with the Stormy Petrels" impressive victo-
ry over Warren Wilson College. O. U.
squelched the opponent's offense and
drizzled right past its defense delivering
an 82-54 victory for the team. Prior to the
game and during halftime, musical enter-
tainment was provided by local band
"Fred and Ethel," sporting O. U.'s own
Joe McCurdy on keyboards.

The homecoming celebration con-
tinued into the evening with the formal
dance at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.
The dance had a record turn out of 236
students, which OS A president Nicole
Caucci called "the best attendance of any
formal yet." Perhaps the turnout was so
large because of the tantalizing hors

d'oeuvres and free wine and beer (for
those over 21, of course) served at the
dance.

The band "Blu" performed long into
the night, supplying O. U. students with
a wide range of music. Steve Hoard even
made an appearance with his clothes on,
singing his own "Ogle, Ogle, Oglethorpe"
for additional entertainment.

The night was made for dancing and
shagging, and some good old cutting the
carpet; unfortunately, the gardens had
none, and many students slipped and fell
on the slippery floor. There was even a
busted chin and a broken jaw before the
night was over.

Even the injuries were not enough to
dampen student spirit, however. The
winding paths and arbor allowed many

couples the opportunity for romantic e;
cursions through the gardens. The foui
tains provided wading pools for some (
the more adventurous souls, such as Pai
Plaia and Randy Gerlick.

The night culminated with the trad
tional crowning of Lord and lady Ogli
thorpe. This year's winners were Chr
Scott and DeShawn Jenkins, represen
ing the Oglethorpe Players. Patrick Grj
and Shelia Grice of Alpha phi Ome^
were first runners up, with Ajay Chabr
and Natalie Knowles coming in thii
place amongst the votes collected by tl
OSA. All in all, the night was one to r
member.

Miss Oglethorpe

Yet Another Talent Filled Night

The spectators in Lupton auditori-
um anxiously awaited the pronounce-
ment of this year's winner of the Miss
Oglethorpe Pageant. The show itself was
astounding, however, as the audience was
surprised by the range of talent and beau-
ty offered by the pageant contestants.

Lois Jacobs performed a wonderful
song in sign language, Carmen Bernard
offered her sincerest efforts in a piece
dedicated to her parents, and Elizabeth
Watts strummed her guitar and sang
away. Lea Franco glittered wonderfully
in her dance number, while Vanessa Bo-
zeman wowed the audience with gyra-
tions beyond belief. In addition, Sharon
Williams performed a piano piece, and
Angela Watts piped playfully upon her
flute. Goldie Hedrick provided the audi-
ence with a very well performed dramatic
oration.

The competition also required the
ladies to dress in evening gowns and inter-
view with the judges. Although the talent
competition gave the audience insight as
to the possible winner, it was in fact still
a mystery.

During the intermission, while
judges Belle Turner-Cross of the Board
of Trustees and Dr. John Kramer deliber-
ated the results of the show, the audience
was entertained by the lyrical antics of
the Smalls, a piano/guitar duo comprised
of Leonard Seaward and Edward Wood-
ham. After seeing how much talent these
two possessed, many wondered why they
hadn't been in the contest.

When the judges returned and Beth
Eckard, former Miss Oglethorpe an-
nounced the winner, it came as no sur-
prise.

Goldie Hedrick, representing the
Black Student Caucus, won the 1 990 title
hands down. She also received the Talent
award for her overpowering dramatic
reading of the anonymous poem, "Please
Listen to What Lm Not Saying," which
inspired the audience to look into them-

selves and question their interactions
with their fellow human beings. Vanessa
Bozeman won first runner up, represent-
ing the O. U. Dancers.

Goldie was crowned before her baby
daughter and her mother, to all three gen-
erations' delight. Other contestants were
glad for her victory. As Carmen Bernard
of Tri Sigma commented, "She was the
obvious choice I'm happy she won."

The Miss Oglethorpe Pageant, for-
merly the Miss Yamacraw Pageant, was
wonderfully supported by the backstage
crew of Meyers Brown, and the famous
Smalls, Edward Woodham and Leonard
Seaward. Both on and off stage, the pag-
eant was a wonderful success, loved by
all.

Scott's Spot

Someone still believes in the old tra-
dition of hard work Petrel Guard Scott
Mall. Through hard work, Scott devel-
oped into a very talented defensive player
on the basketball courts of O. U. In the
1 989-90 season, he was one of the leaders
in defensive rebounds with over 100 re-
bounds. Player number 20 also became
an offensive leader for the team during
his junior year, with his strong penetra-
tion to the basket and his rebounding
abilities in the guard spot he usually oc-
cupies.

Scott is a team player in all aspects
hardworking, consistent, and adapt-
able, doing what needs to be done to lead
the Petrels to victory. In his first two
years he saw little playing time, but with
determination, he became a starter for his
last two seasons. He knew he had the ca-
pability all along to play winning basket-
ball, he said, but it was also up to himself
alone to improve his playing game. Arriv-
ing to practice an hour early, working out,
and running laps before games all helped
improve his game significantly.

Off the court, Scott is just as
hardworking and motivated. An account-
ing major, Scott begins working for Ar-
thur Anderson and Company upon grad-
uation. When he is not studying for the
CPA exam, Scott participates in various

other sports, from softball to tennis. He
is president of the Catholic Student Asso-
ciation and a member of the Executive
Round Table, as well as a member of the
Oglethorpe Accounting Club.

Scott Mall truly exemplifies the
rewards of hard work. He sets his goals,
whether on the courts or off, and disci-
plines himself to reach them. His success
is surely a measure of his high level of de-
termination.

Basketball Petrels

The dribbling Stormy Petrels
wrapped up the 1989-90 season with a
record of] 5- 1 0. After a shakey start, los-
ing the first two games of the Stormy Pe-
trel Classic, the Petrels fought back, to
end with a victorious season. The team
was ranked seventh during the season in
the NCAA Division III. The strength of
this year's team was a balanced line-up
of players, with aggressive guards, domi-
nating forwards, and unyielding centers.

Juniors Kerry Evert and Geoff
Spiess led the Petrels in scoring, averag-
ing 14.4 and 10.5 points per game, re-
spectively. Graduating seniors, Todd
Blanchard, Charles Carter, and Scott
Mall will be greatly missed next year, for
Blanchard, an excellent shooter with a 3
point range, was a top defensive forward,
averaging 10.3 points per game, while
Carter proved to be an excellent shooting
guard and shooter with good range, and
Mall, an aggressive Petrel, proved to be
one of the best defensive players, leading
the team in rebounds with an average of
5.0 per game. Other top scorers on the
team were Scott Piehl, with 8.6 points per
game, and Dave Fischer, with 8.1

Under the direction of head coach
Jack Berkshire, this year's team faced a
rigorous schedule, yet pulled through,
bringing Berkshire's winning record at
Oglethorpe to 180-170.

Chip's Finale

In the 4th grade at Enderly Heights
Elementary School, Chip Baldwin first
discovered the game of soccer. He's been
kicking that black and white ball ever
since. Perhaps one of the most recogniz-
able members of the Oglethorpe soccer
team, in his three-year career here, he has
played the positions of defense, midfield,
and, in his senior year, center forward.
He thrives on the competition and team
camaraderie of the sport. He was almost
prevented from playing soccer when he
injured his foot playing another sport.
Yet his foot healed, enabling Chip to re-
turn to the game in good form, scoring
five goals and making nine assists as the
main offensive player. In the same sea-
son. Chip was voted Captain of the team
by his fellow players.

Even though Chip feels that, al-
though the Petrels' overall record was not
that impressive in his final season playing
for them, the team put forth a lot of effort
and hard work. Though this year's sched-
ule was quite strenuous. Chip assures that
"everyone enjoyed it, especially the rides
home." Chip was saddened by the re-
placement of Coach Mike Hogan, for the

coach offered him a vast knowledge of
soccer to which he had never before been
exposed.

Most of us are familiar the strong
kick and overall impressive performance
of Chip on the soccer field, yet few realize
that his enthusiasm and determination
extend off the field as well. Chip has been
involved in the Oglethorpe Student Asso-
ciation for three years. He has run track
and played basketball as well, while also
participating in virtually every intramu-

130 Oglethorpe

Men's Soccer

ral sport offered at Oglethorpe. During
the summer. Chip teaches at the summer
soccer camp offered for youngsters at the
school, and he even served as a member
of University Singers at one time.

Chip also participates in the Ac-
counting Club, which logically follows his
major of Business Administration. Chip
hopes to get a position in sales with a com-
pany in the Southeast after graduation,
yet he fully intends to continue active
participation in sports.

"Push yourself to the limit and then
some," Chip's motto, certainly seems evi-
dent in his performance in soccer and oth-
er activities during his Oglethorpe career.
But it is his involvement and lasting
friendships formed here that have made
his years at Oglethorpe so worthwhile.

Athletic Petrels 131

Soccer Petrels

In their first varsity season, the
women's soccer team posted an impres-
sive 5-4 record. "We finally had a coach,"
said junior midfielder Chris Henderson,
"So we worked really hard because we
knew how hard we'd worked to get there."
Less than fifty percent of the girls had
ever played soccer before, but as the sea-
son progressed, the girls pulled together.
Shots by Jennifer Amerson and Carol
Payne, assists by Jean Fraasse, and de-
fense by Shannon Collinson and Vicki
Pertierra, led the women to a successful
first season. "You could tell a difference,"
said senior goalie and captain Angle
Clem, "As each game went by, we were
more cohesive we worked well togeth-
er."

The men's team also worked hard,
but came up empty handed. With four
wins, twelve losses, and one tie, the guys
just couldn't hang on. Their season was
characterized by near misses, losing their
first, second, fifth, and final games in
overtime. "We played to the caliber of
our opponents, but then we made costly
mistakes at the last minute," said center
forward Chip Baldwin, a senior. The
highlight of most road trips for the team
was a stop at Pizza Hut.

Multi-Talented Kerensa ..

In kindergarten she dreamed of sell-
ing orange juice door-to-door and run-
ning track in the Olympics. In the second
grade she was drinking a lot of O. J. and
out-running all the boys in P. E. Now.
cooling down after an intense track prac-
tice, senior Kerensa Shoemake pours her-
self a glass of juice and dreams of becom-
ing an Olympic coach.

"Ten years from now, my ideal
would be an Olympic basketball or vol-
leyball coach," she says with a smile that
knows how high she's setting her goal.
But then, leaping high and making goals
have always been Kerensa's specialties.
Volleyball and basketball are her favorite
sports to participate in, and spectator
sports'? "I don't watch sports on T. V.
much," she says. "I get bored and I want
to play."

And play she does. As a senior Lady
Petrel volleyballer, Kerensa averaged 4.8
kills per game, ranking fourth in the na-
tion and earning first-team All-South
honors. Although her powerful leaping
spikes won the opposition's attention, it
was Kerensa's teamwork, serving 88%,
passing 94%, and digging 851 balls dur-
ing her four-year career, that won 95 out
of 121 matches for the Lady Petrels. Not
bad for a girl who had never touched a
volleyball before coming to O. U.

Kerensa has since then become a
valuable part of every other sport O. U.
has to offer women soccer, softball,
track, and tennis, although she admits
that tennis is the hardest sport for her to
play. As a freshman, she turned a
struggling "Poor Girls" intramural team
into a dominating force in flag-football,
basketball, track, and softball competi-
tion.

But Kerensa is not some dumb jock.
Far from that, with a major in history and
a minor in secondary education, Kerensa
sports a 3.97 GPA. She is secretary of the
prestigious ODK honor society, as well as
vice-president of Phi Alpha Theta, the
history honorary, and a member of Alpha
Chi, the highest Academic honorary.
Why does she excel to A's in everything?
She says, "1 get frustrated when I can't
do something."

Judging from her accomplishments,

134 Oglethorpe

one wonders if anything exists that Ki
ensa can't do. In addition, she enjo
playing the piano, rock-climbing, an
most recently, teaching. She did her st
dent-teaching at Norcross High Scho
instructing 11th graders in AmeriC;
History five times a day. She hopes to '
to graduate school in History, then on
teach at a high school or college whd
she can combine her athletic and ail
demic abilities into one strategy: "We
a team. It's not me against you. Justli
in sports, I can draw on the chalkboa,
all day long, but until you go out a
practice it, you're not going to do aj
good." And with that, Kerensa takes f,
last gulp of orange juice, preparing less;
plans to inspire potential winners 1
herself.

Marking the end of an era, the Ogle-
thorpe volleyball team finished the sea-
son with 1 1 consecutive wins, giving them
the best record in the team's history, 24-
5. This was fitting, as seniors Kerensa
Shoemake and Mary Jane Stuart were
culminating four years as the dynamic
duo who paved the way for Lady Petrel
volleyball in the future. "Mary Jane and
Kerensa really put us on the map," said
coach Jim Owen.

The combination of M. J.'s set and
Kerensa's spike compiled 95 wins out of
121 matches over their four years. The
two agree that it is their friendship and
teamwork that has brought them success.
M. J. ended the season with an amazing
4,31 1 assist attempts and a career assist
total of 1,441, including over 500 assists
as a senior. Kerensa, with 828 career
kills, finished this season fourth in the na-
tion with 303 kills, an average of 4.8 per
game.

The Lady Petrels were also aided by
newcomer Sami Bashlor, who pounded
225 kills for an average 3.8 per game, and
by junior Jennifer Marine, who leads the
team in serves, 243 out of 255, and in
blocks, 69 in 62 games. In addition, soph-
omore Tracy Larson's excellent digs and
serves, as well as blocks by juniors Lee
Ann Flemming and Wendy Smith, con-
tributed to the team's winning season.

The team's most memorable contest
was their last home match against the in-
famous University of the South. Having
beaten them on their home court earlier
in the season, the Lady Petrels wanted to
prove to the over-confident Lady Tigers
that it wasn't a fluke. They crushed them
in the best-of-five match in the first three
games, 15-5, 15-13, 15-6. Although this
was the last match for seniors Mary Jane
and Kerensa, the Lady Peterels showed
that they're a force to be reckoned with
in years to come.

Track and Field

For the first time in eight years, the
Oglethorpe track was filled with more
than just tall weeds. The re-entry of track
proved quite a success, the inaugural
women's team coming out with a 3- 1 rec-
ord, and the men with a 2-2 effort. "The
students responded very well to the chal-
lenge of recreating a track team," said
coach Bob Unger. They attended only
two meets in their first season, both at O.
U. In the first meet, the women beat both
Morris Brown college (102-42) and
Clark Atlanta (93-49). The men also
fared well, with a close win over Morris
Brown (72-71), and a tough loss to Clark
Atlanta (75-68).

O. U. battled Fort Valley State,
Morris Brown, and Morehouse college in
a quadrangular meet to finish off the sea-
son. The Lady Petrels won the quad meet,
pinning down Fort Valley 77-76 in the
javelin competition, where three fresh-
men, Tracy Rogers, Alicia Brumbach,
and Lynn Moody, placed second, third.

Coach Linger was very pleased with
the new team's performance, as individ-
uals and as a group. "Many people think
of track as an individual sport," he said.
"In a sense it is, but when you see all the
teammates cheering a relay on to the fin-
ish, you see a great deal of team spirit in
these individuals."

Cross Country

The Oglethorpe cross country run-
ners experienced a real runner's high this
year, as they wrapped up a very success-
ful season. The men finished with a per-
fect regular season record of 7-0, while
the women ended with an equally impres-
sive record of 6-1. The running Petrels
finished second in the Oglethorpe Invita-
tional in October, beaten only by nation-
ally-ranked Emory. In addition, the team
finished tenth in both the Georgia State
Championship and the West Georgia
State Cross Country Invitational, and
finished eighth in the NCAA Champion-
ship.

According to team captain Jon Per-
ry, this season was to be a reconstructive
one, a season to shape the runners and
prepare for a winning season next year.
But the successes came this year, under
the guidance of Coach Bob Linger. The
team overwhelmingly feels that Coach
Unger cares about each individual team
member. Newcomer Dawn Roberts felt

that this year's team was very close-knit
and supportive, and that this feeling came
from the coach's dedication and concern
for the team.

The two cross country teams are ex-
pected to do very well next season due to
the fact that very few members of the
team are graduating seniors. Experi-
enced runners coupled with a strong
coach should produce very exciting re-
sults not only next season but in the years
to come.

THE RUSSIANS ARE

COMING!

Well not quite. More like The Russian Circus

The Summer of 1990 was an inter-
national party during the ten days of June
in which the Russian Bim Bom Goodwill
Circus lived in Traer Hall. Between 90-
100 acrobats, trapeze artists, musicians
and other circus performers could be seen
working out, swimming, and generally
wandering around the Oglethorpe cam-
pus. The circus performers were stranded
in Atlanta after bad management left the
circus in a poor financial state. Many of
the performers were some of the best in
Russia, and had previously toured with
the Moscow circus all over Europe, Ja-
pan, America, and Canada. The leader
of the circus' band had graduated from
the Moscow Conservatory.

The circus had now gained the spot-

light in both local and national news, be-
cause of their poor financial state which
left them stranded in the United States.
The leader of the circus soon found him-
self being interviewed by the Atlanta
Business Chronicle, not to mention a host
of news agencies. During the circus' stay
at Oglethorpe University, local news
crews were on campus several times, fol-
lowing the story of the circus' move from
place to place. The students loved all the
attention since they often found them-
selves on the eleven o'clock news.

One night while they were here, four
couples went to the Russian Orthodox
Church in Atlanta and were married. Af-
terwards, the Traer courtyard was the
setting for a flamboyant Russian wed-

ding reception, complete with a mini;
ture band to play the wedding son
Many summer students were present
not only witness the festivities but join
as well.

Oglethorpe students and staff b
friended the lively group, as many of tl
performers knew at least some Englis
After the ten days, all were sad to see t)
performers go, as they moved to a hot

A New Tradition

The 1st Annual 'Tetrels of Fire''

While Cupid busily let his arrows fly
this February 14th, a new tradition was
shot from the bow of Coach Bob Unger
at noon in the Academic Quad. This new
tradition, christened "Petrels of Fire" in
tribute to the classic film we all know the
music to, "Chariots Of Fire," heralded
the arrival of the new O. U. track team.
The O. U. tradition parallels that of the
Cambridge University tradition explored
in the film. In it, student runners attempt
to circumnavigate the rectangular walk-
way of the academic quadrangle in the
time it takes the bells to sound twelve
times.

The O. U. run begins at the Western
end of Lupton hall, proceeds past the
eternal flame of Dr. Weltner, and returns
past Goslin to the corner of Lupton Hall.
Runners must completely traverse the
distance by the ringing of the twelfth bell
in the Lupton Tower.

In the movie it is noted that it took
450 years for someone to accomplish this
feat at Cambridge University in the allot-
ted time. Runners at this university
would soon find out that this little run was
not so little, and certainly not so easy.

In our 1st Annual "Petrels of Fire"
race, Steve Summerow of the Black Stu-
dent Caucus led all the finishers, taking
the cup even though he failed to complete
the distance by the twelfth bell. Several
others participated in the run. Lisa
Thornton of the Women's Cross Country
Team was tripped up in the starting rush.

and did require medical attention. Even
though she was unable to compete, she
was glad to have been a part of the event.
"I can tell my children I was in the first
Pjstrels of Fire race," she enthusiastically
explained.

If this new tradition carries on long
enough, Lisa's children might be able to
participate. Who knows . . . they might
even break that long standing record, and
become the first student at Oglethorpe
and only the second in the world to run
the distance in that short amount of time.

Memorabilia from this from run of
the "Petrel of Fire" will be locked away

for ten years in the "Crypt of 1 990" whic
was sealed on O. U. Day of this year.
The new track team which had
very good initial recruitment as a resu
of this event, is expected to do fairly we
for a first season. As a member of the f
C. A. A. competition is expected to I
tough. However, good coaching, an ei
thusiastic team, and a few runs of tl
"Petrels of Fire" should produce a wi
ning team.

WORLD CONNECTIONS

Students Overseas

Each summer, a number of Ogle-
thorpe students take advantage of their
break from academics to travel abroad,
experiencing firsthand the culture and
traditions of our global neighbors. This
valuable exposure to the lifestyle of our
fellow cultures enables us to gain under-
standing of and tolerance for the differ-
ences amongst the planet's peoples, an
important aspect of our own existence as
a nation, considering the rapidly chang-
ing nature of world economics, politics,
and technology.

Mabel Lastres and John Kratt trav-
eled together in France during the sum-
mer of 1 989, in order to fulfill the studies
abroad requirement of their Internation-
al Studies majors. They studied at Cesa
University in Avignon. Once they com-
pleted their classes at the University, they
travelled throughout France, Italy, and
Switzerland. In their travels, they were
accompanied by the son of their host fam-
ily, who knew Europe quite well, proving
an invaluable asset to their understand-
ing of the cultures they encountered. Ma-
bel said that the best part of her experience was the chance
to meet students from all over the world, gaining exposure
to and a greater understanding of their views.

Nikki Roberts' traveled Europe as a birthday present.
During the summer, she cruised the Scandanavian countries
up into Russia. Her exposure to the people of these countries
was invaluable. She gained much insight into the aesthetics
and other cultural values of these peoples. While not in the
stringent academic environment John and Mabel encoun-
tered, Nikki felt that her exposure to the people of these na-
tions expanded her world awareness greatly, a necessary part
of existing into today's global culture.

Foreign Students

A University of Many Cultures

One of the recurring advantages for
American students attending the Univer-
sity each year is the great number of in-
ternational students attracted to the
Oglethorpe. This advantage works both
ways, however, for the foreign students
learn as much if not more than the natives
from their immersion in the American
culture. This year, in addition to the large
number of Japanese students drawn to
the school through its increased involve-
ment in the East with sister-school Seiga-
kuin, there are the traditional number of
students of European origin. Among
them are four striking blonds, three natu-
ral and one bleached, who have greatly
enriched and been greatly enriched by
their stay at the University.

Three of these blonds are strikingly
Nordic. All of them come to the States
through the beneficence of the Rotary
Club. All of them have also actively par-
ticipated in the University Singers. Ul-
rika Engstrom comes from Hallstoham-
mar, Sweden. She found the sunny
weather here quite to her liking, and will
miss it when she returns home. Mattias
Janson also comes from Sweden, from the
city of Norrkoping. While here, he set out
to increase his understanding of the
United States while helping Americans
understand his country and the European
political scene as well. He also discovered
the pleasures of hiking in the Georgia
mountains while here, as well as the plea-
sure of "relaxation" at International Club
events. Kristin Johanson will return to
her home in Larvik, Norway, after her
visit. This quiet, serious student will
greatly miss the school, for in her classes
she has learned so much and met so many
interesting people.

All three of the Scandinavian stu-
dents felt quite comfortable in America,
but were slightly surprised by the casual
air taken by American students when it

comes to studying. Usually, American
students rely quite heavily on their par-
ents for their educations. In their coun-
tries, the government pays for students'
college education, liberating them from
dependence on their parents for support
and setting them up for future indepen-
dence. Therefore, these blonds are far
from stupid, for they take studying as a
serious part of their preparation for the
future.

The other blond, bottled with perox-
ide in Turkey, is Sibel Alp. Sibel has al-
ready studied in her native land, pursuing
a brief interest in architecture and a more
expansive one in American Literature.
She came to Oglethorpe on her own
efforts, and intends to earn a degree in
business. She wanted to improve her En-
glish while having the experience of trav-
el, so she came to Oglethorpe. Here, Sibel
feels she experienced a great deal of cul-
ture from the wide variety of students at
the university, American and foreign.

When she leaves, she will miss all of
her friends, as well as the personal free-
dom she has here as an independent fe-
male that her culture does not permit.
She does not want to portray Turkey as
a nation in the Dark Ages, however: she
would like Americans and other peoples
as well to realize that Turkey is now a vi-
tal part of the modern industrialized
world.

Hopefully, Sibel and Mattias suc-
ceeded in their goals to increase cultural
understanding during this year. Only
through interaction on such a personal in-
teraction as living together on a college
campus can cultures truly begin to under-
stand each other and the benefits they
have to offer. This kind of interaction is
the key to bringing a friendlier world at-
mosphere into being.

GREEK HOUSING

At the beginning of last Spring, the
Greeks were given a proposal for new
Greek housing facilities.

The Greek reaction was less than
positive, .\fter a long debate very little
had been accomplished. Over the sum-
mer of that year, the Greeks formed a
Greek Housing Committee, co-chaired
by James Maroita and Chris Lenz. The
committee consisted of one representa-
tive from each sorority and fraternity,
and the IFC President and the Panhellen-
ic President. During the three meetings
held over the summer, the committee for-
mulated plans for the ixpe of Greek Row
that would be most suitable to the school
and to the Greeks. The committee w anted
to cover every passible detail in an effort
lo show the Administration as w ell as the
Greeks that our proposal would be the
best of both worlds. The first thing to do

w as to pick a location. The committee felt
that behind the intramural field w as the
best spot, although the Administration
later came up with another location. Next
w as the t\pe of house. We decided early
on that all the houses should look the
same so no organization w ould be favored
over the other.

The committee asked an architect to
draw plans for a house about 2000 square
feet in size. The houses would be two
floors, with the lower floor for meetings
and social functions, and the upper floor
for residents.

Just as the prop<Kal was to be an-
noimced. the school alerted the Greeks
that the Greek houses on Lanier Drive
were for sale. Chi Omega, Sigma Sigma
Sigma. Delta Sigma Phi and Kappa -Al-
pha will all have to move out by May
1990. The conmiittee decided to step up

the pace, and shortly afterw ard met with
the Administration to discuss the new-
housing. So far. it has been proposed that
four houses will be built for the Greeks
on Lanier Drive, residency will be limited
to four people and the houses would be
built behind the field house facing tow ard
campus. The Administration is happy
with the progress of the committee. The
prospect for a new Greek Row is not far
off.

"Many different personalities
make up the spirit of Tri Sigma. I'm
often amazed when I look around and
see exactly how different all of our sis-
ters are. But even though we are diverse
in many ways, we all have one thing in
common our sisterhood. The bond
of sisterhood ties us together, but it's
the diversity and mutual understand-

The Beta Nu Chapter of the

years. We look to our future here at
Oglethorpe in hopes of not only keeping
with old traditions, but also blazing
trails for which we will be thanked and
remembered. Let us not forget our mot-

both.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon has faced
many challenges locally and nation-
ally. This past year was very exciting
for the Georgia Eta Chapter. It began
with numerous national awards includ-
ing Most Improved Chapter and Most
Improved Scholarship. The chapter
continued by sponsoring the best rush
on campus, which led to the best pledge
class on campus.

The chapter now faces the chal-
lenge of securing its future. Since many
of its members are about to graduate
in 1991, it must search harder than
ever to find the best leaders on campus.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon has always and
will always prove its leadership in
Greek life.

Public Affairs Forum Established

In the Spring of 1988, Jennifer Du-
bose and Nick Mokvis noticed the lack
of debate over controversial issues on the
campus. They decided to rectify the situ-
ation, so they formed the Public Affairs
Forum, merging two other clubs, the
Open political Thought society and
World affairs, in the process. Through
the merger, Jennifer felt they could offer
more to students than either group could
independently offer. "There wasn't
enough political discussion on campus,"
claimed Jennifer. Securing Dr. Orme as
their advisor, Jennifer and Nick struc-
tured the forum to provide a comprehen-
sive discussion of public issues that con-
:ern everyone.

Discussions have ranged a spectrum
3f issues, world affairs, foreign politics,
md social issues. Among the most memo-
rable and satisfying meetings for Jennifer
was the debate she organized between
Pat Swindell and Pat Jones, opposing
party members running for the House of
Representatives. This offered the student
body more exposure to the political race
ind encouraged them to become in-
volved. The most popular topic to date
ivas Dr. Dick's discussion on "Youth Sub-
cultures on College Campuses."

Jennifer feels it is essential to be-
come involved in groups such as this Pub-
ic Affairs, to help individuals see more
han one side of an issue. "It is easy to
lave your own viewpoint yet not examine
t," she says. When presented with anoth-
!r, one is forced to examine his own point
if view and redefine it, synthesizing a
lew view out of the conflicting argu-
nents. The Forum provides an invaluable
id in increasing student awareness in
ihis manner.

GINUS Expands in its Second Year

For the second year of its existence,
the Oglethorpe chapter of GINUS
helped further an understanding of Is-
rael's culture and politics. GINUS, the
Georgia Israel Network of University
Students, helps brings individuals togeth-
er, regardless of religion or political be-
liefs, to promote world awareness. The
Organization was formed when Michelle
Rosen met with student leaders from
Emory, the University of Georgia, and
Georgia Tech, to write up the by-laws
and gather signatures of support for an
Israel oriented organization to officially
come into being.

GINUS attracts various political
and cultural experts on Israel to colleges
in the Atlanta area. Johnathan Feldstein,
an important figure in the politics of the
Soviet Jewery and winner of the NBC
Person of the Week award, came to speak
at Oglethorpe. Oglethorpe's GINUS hos-
ted a bagel brunch to welcome this in-
credible speaker, who told of his experi-
ences with the many Soviet Jews desper-
ate to immigrate to the U. S. or Israel.

The Israeli consulate to Georgia also
came to speak at the school on relations
between Israel and the Arab states. Other
lectures included representatives from
the major lobbying group in Washington
for Israeli relations, AIPAC, offering
further enlightenment as to the state of
affairs in the mid-East.

GINUS members also had the expe-
rience of witnessing AIPAC lobbying
procedures first hand at the annual AI-
PAC conference in Washington, D. C.
Michelle Rosen, Krissy Grods, Mabel
Lastres, Phil Hunter, and Shane Haney
joined hundreds of students from all over
the country at the conference. There,
these students were able to meet their
state senators and express their concern
for Israeli politics. Through activities
such as this, GINUS provides yet one
more invaluable opportunity for students
to learn about the world in which they
live.

Yamacraw- The People

Traditionally Speaking

Publishing Representative, Mary Kay

In this the 59th volume of the Yama- Kimmet, for the help it took to make this
era u- "Tradition" was the main emphasis, edition a success. We wish the best to fu-
It was a natural choice as we Oglethor- ture staffs. We also call on the Adminis-

pians are constantly surrounded by tradi-
tions. Also, this year was marked by rev-
olutions around the world. The move was
clearly against many traditions particu-
larly in the East. France was celebrating
its 100th anniversary of their revolution.
China suffered through Tiennamen.
Abortion took a domestic battleground.
Similarly, the annual had many marks of
tradition, but many facets directly in con-
tradiction to old ways. The cover is highly
traditional in color and style. The type-
setting was also very conservative. Sen-
iors were returned to black and white.
Anti-traditionally, virtually no captions
are present. We wanted to let the pictures
speak for themselves, just as people want
to speak for themselves. We also made all
articles anonymous so that no writer
would feel restricted to say what they
wished. All in all we are proud of the re-
sults.

We owe alot to the best Yamacraw
staff ever. Troy DeGroff and Charles
Sutlief are to be singled out for their in-
credible contributions. This is not one
person's effort, but it is rather the com-
bined effort of many. On a project this
size, no one person could or should do il
alone. While we did not always meet our
deadlines (did we ever???) we are sure
the work is top quality. For the record the
book is supposed to come out in Septem-
ber of each year, and this edition will (or
has since you're reading it).

When we (Jim and Krissy) became
co-editors for the book, we knew there
would be alot of hard work. However, the
additional work of another book (last
years) was a surprise. Yet after several
weeks and many long nights we amazing-
ly completed volume 58. While it was
clearly not a reflection of our best efforts
it was rewarding for us to prevent the loss
of that year's edition.

We (Krissy and Jim) would like to
thank our Advisor, Ken Stark and our

tration to increase the budget for future
years to improve the quality of the annu-
al.

The Stormy Petrel

The Stormy Petrel has just complet-
ed its sixty-fifth year of circulation. In
that time many changes have taken place
both technologically and journalistically.
Technological advances include the
addition of a full computer set up. The
computer has the PageMaker software
which enables the Petrel to do all layouts
and copy directly. It is among the most
advanced desk-top publishing software.
With the addition of the computer, the
Stormy Petrel has more money and time
to devote to improving the quality of the
paper as well as adding more issues in the
year. In fact, this year has seen the largest
number of issues printed in one year. A
new Petrel is seen almost every week.

Journalism has also improved in the
recent times. Although some of this ad-
vance can be attributed to the computer,
much more of it relies the excellence of
the staff. The issues that have surfaced
in the past year such as; Abortion, sale
of property on Lanier Drive, Greek Hous-
ing, the death of Professor Leo Bilancio,
Maintenace Problems, and Stormy
Pravda, have provided a great deal of ma-
terial for the Petrel staff. Coverage of
these topics has been extensive and top
quality, especially in highly controversial
matters.

And yet, the Petrel is not for the seri-
ous readers only. Indeed, many students
enjoy reading the Calvin and Hobbes
comics, the Around Campus columns
(which usually bring a laugh), and the
addition of the famous Petrel Personals.

The Stormy Petrel appears to be get-
ting a head start in its approach to the un-
iversity's planned expansion. The success
from this year is sure to spread to future
years.

Class of 1990

Graduation in the Academic Quad

The time was 8:30am, and the sky
looked gray as if it were going to rain all
day. The seniors about to become alumni,
started to gather in the academic quad.
They wondered if their ceremony was
about to be pushed inside the Dorough
Field House. Fortunately, good luck and
the determination of one man prevented
that move from taking place. Provost An-
thony Caprio wanted to have the ceremo-
nies outside in the quad as much as the
seniors. Fate would take over, by letting
the sun break through as the commence-
ment took place.

For the first time in many years,
graduation took place in the academic
quad opposite Lowry Hall and the Eter-
nal Flame. The class had the good fortune
of having Andrew Young give the key
note address. Speech was matched with
beautiful song. Yuko Nisimura, wife of
Professor Nisimura, wonderfully per-
formed the Exsultate, Jubilate by Mo-
zart.

On this day 134 men and women re-
ceived their bachelors degree. 14 women
received the Masters of Arts for their

studies in Education.

However, the day also brought hon-
ors to three distinguished professors.
Charlton H. Jones, Professor of Business
Administration; J. Brien Key, Professor
of History; and Louise M. Valine, Profes-
sor of Education; were all granted emeri-
tus status. Each professor has been with
Oglethorpe for over a decade, and each
have greatly contributed to the schools
national recognition for outstanding edu-
cation. The students of Oglethorpe will
surely miss their wisdom, but do indeed
wish them the best in their retirement.

Today is not a day of ending, but of
Commencement and for the 148 new-
alumni, the world is
just beginning.
Many will go im-
mediately into
their life long ca-
reer, while others
will continue to
prepare for it b\
further education.
In either case, the
day marks the be-

ginning of something new for everyone.
The ceremonies ended, and the sui
held out for a little longer, so that all mai
enjoy the happiness of the moment. B;:'
1:00pm everyone had left the academic
quad, to go on to celebratory lunches an(
dinners. The clouds returned to th'
grounds to lay more rain on this ceremo
nial ground. Was it to begin the growtl
of some new flower on this fine Sprini
Sunday?

190 Graduation

Andrew Young

Commencement Speaker

Andrew Young had quite a bit to do
on this rainy morning, Sunday, May
13th. He was breaking from his cam-
paign trail both Olympic and gubernato-
rial, and about to proceed to yet another
commencement ceremony that same day.
Oglethorpe and the class was indeed very
fortunate to have such a renowned indi-
vidual come to speak.

Andrew Young was most recently
the Mayor of Atlanta. He retired at the
end of his term to seek the governorship
of Georgia. Prior to his mayoral duties,
Mr. Young served as Ambassador to the
United Nations under President Jimmy
Carter. During that time he earned
world-wide respect for his diplomatic
iabilities and leadership. This subsequent-
ly to his election as Mayor of Atlanta, a
browing international city. During his
ierm in office he began courting the In-
|;ernational Olympic Committee to allow

Atlanta to host the
1996 Summer
Olympics. Due to
his efforts, many expect Atlanta to cap-
ture the 1996 torch. However, Andrew
Young is also known and regarded highly
for his Civil Rights work. He has served
by the side of Martin Luther King while
at the same time working very hard to es-
tablish equality in Georgia and the nation
as a whole. With his many hours, days,
months and years of humanities work at
home and abroad, it is no great surprise
that Oglethorpe University awarded Mr.
Young the Honorary Doctorate of Hu-
mane Letters.

Traditionally, one would relate the
highlights of Andrew Young's speech.
However, each person had their own
thoughts of the highlights of his speech.
The writer here is no exception. There-
fore, anti-tradionally speaking, it will be
up to the reader to remember his words.
Those words that are remembered were
most important to the reader, weren't

they? Let it be said that the speech was
excellent, and above all memorable.

From a Graduate's Perspective

Life after Oglethorpe is the first,
middle and last thing on every students
mind. After all, the reason most people
go to college is to get a good paying job.
There are the occasional exceptions to the
rule. Those people actually went to col-
lege to learn about what interests them
most. I was not an exception.

Ironically, it is becoming more and
more necessary to get a masters degree.
Those who settle for a bachelors in just
about any field tend to do worse than
those with a masters. By now someone is
asking, "What's the point?" Very simple,
I would venture to guess that most of my
class is having a difficult time getting a
"real job." It is also not particularly easy
to get into the graduate school or pro-
gram of choice. Oglethorpe provides one
of the best educations in the Southeast,
yet it provides one of the worst placement
programs. This is the point; life after
Oglethorpe is more difficult than life af-
ter many other universities.

For the record, the writer of this arti-
cle, who shall remain anonymous, has a
very good job but without any university
placement. 1 went back and read many
admissions brochures from schools
around the nation. Most if not all had
stressed placement as much as education.
Smart institutions have realized a few es-
sential points that are largely economi-
cally motivated. First, the school lives
and dies by the alumni donations. Sec-
ond, good schools will naturally produce
good financially secure alumni. Third,
good schools have complete membership
care.

Every collegiate institution realizes
one basic point, "No alumni donations,
no money, no business, no school." There-
fore, every good school works on all areas
that will naturally enhance endowment
without sacrificing the institution's basic
principles. Smaller and private organiza-
tions need to pay particular attention to
endowment influences.

The good schools will naturally pro-
duce financially secure alumni capable of

192 Graduation

reasonably sized donations. They will
seek to provide the best faculty to make
their students the most knowledgeable
and best qualified for a good occupation.
Secondly, they try to provide a communi-
ty life that will encourage participation
in university life. This has the benefit of
producing outgoing energetic alumni who
will excel in their fields as well as enhanc-
ing school spirit and unity. If the student
has positive memories of a spirited college
life, that makes him feel like he is a per-
manent or lifelong member of the com-
munity, then that future alumni is more
likely to donate than the person who re-
members only the apathetic life found in
his school. Lastly, the good institution
will seek to place its recent graduates in
the best possible position, be it in a mast-
ers program or entry-level management
in a corporation. This has the benefit of
developing the largest possible percent-
age of financially secure, happy, alumni.
According to American Express,

"Membership has its privileges." Not all
credit cards are the same. Not all colle-
giate institutions are the same. American
Express tries to provide complete custom-
er care. Similarly, schools like Emory try
to provide complete student care. Ogle-
thorpe University unfortunately does not.
And before someone runs to hide behind
the statistic that our school is too small
to do what Emory does, one should look
at the many missed opportunities.

It should not be necessary to cite spe-
cifics. However, a little light could be
beneficial. Placement is far below accept-
able standards. School assisted programs
such as the arts, publications, and athlet-
ics are virtually nonexistent. Apathy is at
an all-time high. More and more people
are transferring to other schools. Excel-
lent faculty members are slipping out of
the school in one's, two's and three's.
Why?

The cause is the lack of privileges in
the membership plan. A good plan in-
cludes active administrative involvement
means time, money, and participation.
All three elements are currently missing
in the O.U. plan, which is due to the pres-
ent philosophy which calls on the mem-
bers to make something out of nothing.
One case is the girls soccer team being re-
quired to purchase much of its own equip-
ment. Most schools offer the privilege of

subsidized equipment. Similar problems
can be found in all facets of this institu-
tion. The time has come for the adminis-
tration to get involved, or the members
are going to continue to seek a change.

The Administration needs to ad-
dress these matters quickly. It is a crisis.
Dr. Stanton needs to take a full hands on
approach. The problems come largely
from bad money management. It cannot
possibly be wise to build more dorms
when the current dorms are not full now.
The money needs to be directed into fac-
ulty salaries, school programs (like the
ones mention before), and most impor-
tantly placement. Student are leaving for
one reason only, they do not see a return
on their monetary investment. In brutally
simple (what I call Bruce Hetherington)
terms, the demand for the Oglethorpe
product is declining fast. Why should any
student or parent invest $11,000 here
when it might buy a better collegiate ex-
perience and a better job somewhere
else?

My hope is not to anger the adminis-
tration, but rather, it is to help the univer-
sity I came to four years ago, and be able
to proudly return to it many years down
the road.

O. U. Players

Continue to Perform Through the Changes

The Oglethorpe Players had an ex-
cellent year this year despite numerous
changes in directors. Putting on three
shows in all, "Dracula" in the fall and
"Working" and "Snow White" in the
Spring, they came through with exciting
and entertaining performances.

Roger Mays, the director for the
Fall production of "Dracula," left mid-
way through the rehearsals for the musi-
cal "Working." Mark Henry came onto
the scene to finish up that number, then
player alumnus now-turned-administra-
tor Darryl Wade assembled the chil-
dren's production of "Snow White."

The Fall feature featured junior
Brad Fairchild in the title role of the un-
dead prince, with Debbie Mix as in the
delightfully corruptible role of Lucy. By-
ron Millican made a superb Renfield,
Dracula's insane servant, while Wendy
Goldberg acted out the surprising sex-
changed role of Dr. Von Helsing. The rest
of the cast did delightfully well in bring-
ing this Goth classic to the Oglethorpe
stage. Especially chilling was the final
hunt scene, where cast members came
through the audience to act out the pas-

sage down into the Count's secret crypt.

"Working," based on the book by
Studs Turkel, featured a montage of
monologues and songs by various mem-
bers of the working class of America.
Kevin Keenan was the construction work-
er whose commentary held the piece to-
gether. Sheri Studley was the tragic
housewife, Jeanne Miller the prostitute,
Chris Scott the psychotic hippie copyboy.
Pasq Delucia made an excellent trucker,
while Elizabeth Parks was the most artful
waitress ever to grace a stage.

In "Snow White," Lupton auditori-
um was transformed with green outdoor
carpeting and painted rags into the En-
chanted Forest. Kim Skinner made a dar-
ling Snow White, and Sherry Wilson was
the best Dopey since Disney. Adrienne
Percival made an imposing Doc, and
Naomi Walker was appropriately Bash-
ful. Especially funny was the "rap" spell
scene, with Byron Millican as the jam-
ming Mirror and Deshawn Jenkins as
dizzy DJ Witch Hex.

All in all the Players did a wonderful
job.

Saying Goodbye

The Tradition Carries On . . .

Well, another year at O.U. has come
blissfully to a close, the campus remain-
ing stuck firmly in its time-honored tradi-
tions. The yearbook staff is still scram-
bling to get things together at the last
minute, with an anxious campus eagerly
waiting for its arrival in the fall. Students
still complain about Betty Nisley's auto-
cratic control of the mail room and the
means and methods used for delivering
and forwarding mail and magazines.
Nurse Bradley is still sticking students in
the butt with cortisone shots. Dr.
Eridkson still prescribing Eryc to one and
all. Students still, until the senior gift
takes effect and other, larger renovations
occur, travel to Emory and Georgia State
to complete research for papers. Students
still beg professors for extensions on pa-
pers, still plead for more time to study be-
fore exams. Some students still face diffi-
culties retrieving their damage deposits
from the Housing Office, while others are
allowed to blatantly stomp upon the
rights of their fellow students and Uni-
versity guests while the administration
sits passively by.

Pro Choice surprisingly found a
voice this year, while other issues fell be-
fore the momentum of traditional cam-
pus apathy. Discussion without action,
that's the name of the game, "Everybody
makes mistakes" the universal justifica-
tion to every outrage perpetrated by the
juvenile-minded members of this cam-
pus.

But a school is a place to learn, a
place to begin the difficult task of taking
responsibility for your actions, for look-
ing outside the egocentric concerns and
prejudices of the self and coming to rec-
ognize and respect the need for regula-
tions and order in a world of five-billion
and rapidly rising. It is a place to find
voice, to take charge, to cement your
views firmly, but with enough flexibility
to adapt to even the mightiest tremor that
might shake them, a place to abandon the

traditions of the past that no longer work
or find acceptance outside this mythical
little school called Oglethorpe, tucked
safely in suburban Atlanta, behind its
turrets and the hundred-thousand dollar
incomes + of mommy and daddy and
move into the realm of adult responsibil-
ity.

The theme of this yearbook is tradi-
tion the old, the trustworthy, the estab-
lished all that you have come to rely on.
Unfortunately, traditions too often stale,
falling into decay. In Britain today, you
can see the stortes that make up the ruins
of hundreds of castles, stones not so dis-
similar from those that formulate the
walls of our own beloved university. It
was a traditional form of defense, castle-
building, yet even it
fell with the advent
of the cannon, even
the plantations of the
south burned after
years of comfortable
aristocratic develop-
ment. Perhaps it is
time to take a look at
the traditions of our
Alma Mater and
evaluate whether or
not these are the val-
ues we want our
school to stand for
out of date, decrepit,
unchanging save for
decay yet secure in
that decay. True, our
school is rapidly
gaining recognition
for our academic
prowess, the
strength of its pro-
grams, etc.; yet how
can it truly become a
top school if it con-
tinues to practice
outmoded tradi-
tions'?

Well, Oglethorpe, we bid you adieu.
Somethings, the friends, the professors,
the parties, about you we truly will miss
and look forward to in the fall, with our
return. But hopefully, during the course
of the next year, traditions will give place
to reason, and your halls will grace the
nation with actual intellectual wonders
outside of surveyed statistics.

Saying Goodbye 207

There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail;

There gloom in the dark, broad seas. My mariners,

Souls that have toiled, and wrought, and thought with me

That ever with a frolic welcome took

the thunder and the sunshine, and opposed

Free hearts, free foreheads you and I are old; ^

Old age hath yet his honor and his toil.

Death closes all; but something ere the end.

Some work of noble note, may yet be done.

Not unbecoming men that strove with gods.

The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks;

The long day wanes; the slow moon climbs; the deep

Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends.

'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

Push off, and sitting well in order smite

The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds

To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths

Of all the western stars, until I die.

It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;

It may be that we shall touch the Happy Isles,

and see the great Achilles, whom we knew.

Though much is taken, much abides; and though

We are not now that strength which in old days

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are

One equal temper of heroic hearts,

made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Lord Alfred Tennyson,
Ulysses, 1842

Better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven.

John Milton,
Paradise Lost, Book I
