Around campus, students
could be counted on for one thing:
to keep abreast of the news,
whether it be campus, local, or na-
tional.

As they returned to school,
students were found in clusters, re-
counting summer tales of classes,
jobs, and for the more fortunate
students, like Wendy Smith, trips
to Europe.

The television became a close
friend this year as it announced
that Atlanta was the 1996 Olym-
pic City, and Atlanta's own Evan-
der Holyfield was the new Heavy-
weight Champion of the World.
Students also listened with baited
breath to accounts of battle as our
military presence in the Persian
Gulf turned from Operation Des-
ert Shield to the war, Desert
Storm.

Greek organizations provided a free car wash for
parents.

Even with such monumental
happenings, students managed to
return their focus back to campus
events. The fraternities found new
houses; the library recovered from
a fire and broke ground for a new
expansion, and the athletic depart-
ment began preparing for a base-
ball team and a girl's basketball
team. Throughout it all, students
struggled to stay informed.

No matter what the news,
around campus those familiar
words were whispered
"HERE'S THE LATEST!"

Although academics at Ogle-

. thorpe are rigorous, or perhaps be-

r. J cause of this fact, students sure

know how to let loose and enjoy.

In the fall, returning students
got an opportunity to meet new
students while moving in and at
events such as the Fall Jam.

Students warmly embraced
the holidays with parties for both
Halloween and Christmas.

Those who could not find
enough excitement at parties
headed out on the town to either
the bars in Buckhead or in Virgin-
ia Highlands. Unfortunately, the
freshmen never got to experience
PJ Haleys during its hey day.

The second semester was ush-
ered in with a sprinkling of snow-
that failed to cancel day classes.
As the weather slowly heated up,
so did the social activity with
events such as Springfest and
Beach Bash rounding out the year.

PENING

As the summer weeks Hew by,
the day of reckoning loomed closer
and closer. Soon the momentous
da\' arrived and students once
again streamed through Ogle-
thorpe's gates. Cars, trucks and
vans, all crammed to overtlowing,
crowded the campus as parents
and friends helped students move
into rooms that would be "home"
over the next nine months.

As the week progressed, stu-
dents settled in their rooms, and
then they made themselves busy
catching up on the news of old
friends and meeting the new faces
on campus. The numerous parties

provided the perfect opportunity
for such activities.

Finally, the dreaded day came,
and classes started once again.
However, luck intervened, and a
ferocious storm provided a night
long black out. With such an ex-
cuse, students were able to put off
studying one more night and con-
tinue their fun.

The week finished with a three
day Labor Day weekend. The
weekend was full of games and
parties as students did their best to
extend their work-less days as long
as possible.

EEKEND

This year Oglethorpe Parents"
Weekend fell on October 5-6,
1990. In retrospect, Oglethorpe's
Parents' Weekend was a great suc-
cess not only in terms of parent
participation but in student in-
volvement as well.

For the parents. Parents Week-
end was a chance to visit with their
student and in many cases to treat
them to a well deserved meal at one
of Atlanta's finest restaurants.
Parents enrolled and attended
mini-classes, and the traditional
reception was held at the Presi-
dent's home. The grand finale of
Saturday's activities was the
"Showtime" where faculty, staff,
students, and even parents show-
cased their talent.

Student participation became a
real focus for Saturday afternoons'
activities. An Extra-Curricular
Activites Exhibit was among the
highlights. Student groups dis-

played their activities and in some
cases, treated the parents to re-
freshments and even a free car
wash. The student groups who par-
ticipated were the Greeks who
sponsored the free car wash and
did "Chalk Art" on the sidewalk;
the Alcohol and Health Awareness
Committee and Alpha Phi Omega
who hosted a refreshment table
where soda and mock-tails were
served: Poloroid pictures in a sou-
venir frame was the treat of the
Yamacraw staff: and last but not
least we must mention ECOS: En-
vironmentally Concerned Ogle-
thorpe Students. The first annual
Environmental Awareness Week
and the Campus Wide Recycling
Campaign were launched. As
mentioned. Parent's Weekend
1990 was a great success and en-
joyed by parents and students
alike.

When large groups of people
Hock to Traer to party it could only
be the 1990 Fall Jam at Ogle-
thorpe. The party started with
loads of good food like chicken and
corn on the cob straight from the
big pit barbecue. Then the D. J.
from Power 99 began spinning the
tunes, and the dorm started hop-
ping. There was dancing, drinking,
volleyball and just good old fash-
ioned socializing. Rob Hutcheson,

and his gang proclaimed their ad-
miration for a fellow named Jose
Cuervo, and Eddie Zarecor said he
thoroughly enjoyed the challeng-
ing volleyball matches. All in all,
it was a fun filled, action packed
day. As the sun began to set, and
the crowd began to dissipate, they
all knew that this would be remem-
bered as one of the finer days at
Oglethorpe.

Midnight, January 15 that
was the U N deadHne for Saddam
Hussein to withdraw his Iraqi mili-
tary from Kuwait. It was also a
time of intense anxiety and expec-
tation for the Oglethorpe students,
as the\ gathered around televisions
and radios to await news of the be-
ginning of the Persian Gulf War.
Unfortunately, the tension was to
last nineteen more hours, when
President George Bush declared
the engagement of "Operation
Desert Storm." Fortunately, how-
ever, this war lasted only slightly
over a month.

The first attack was at 7:00 p.m.
on January 16. The Allied forces
began the war with numerous air
bombing raids. The key targets for
these air strikes were Iraqi com-
munication abilities, bio-chemical
facilities, nuclear plants, and
SCUD missile launchers. The
ground war started on January 30
with offensive action by Iraqi
troops. These troops invaded south
from Kuwait into Saudi Arabia,
but three of the four attacks were
defeated by Saudi and U S forces.

final days of February, and Presi-
dent Bush, as stated in his State of
the Union Address, kept his word
that "our forces will not stay one
more moment longer than is neces-
sary to complete their mission."

During the War in the Gulf, stu-
dents not only worried about the
events of the war, but many were
also active supporters of the Amer-
ican troops. On the night of the
deadline, students united for a can-
dlelight vigil in the men's quad,
and they continued to hold this
midnight vigil for many consecu-
tive nights thereafter. Although
some students were concerned
about the purpose of the vigil, Tom
Printz and Julie Jacques, the prin-
cipal organizers, assured students
in the Stormy Petrel that this event
was strictly a "peaceful pro-Amer-
ican rally." Also, the Writing
Company sponsored a letter-writ-
ing campaign. This campaign gave
students the opportunity to express
their support of the troops. Al-
though it was a difficult period, the
campus-wide concern for the
troops was comforting to many
people, both abroad and at home.

NOW DAY

Students stayed glued to the
news reports on the evening of
January 28. For once, they were
not listening to the war reports, but
to the weather reports. Snow
had been forecast as a possibility
and students were hoping for the
worst.

The weather forecasters were
skeptical, and students feared that
their hopes had once again been
dashed. Their spirits picked up
again the next morning. The
ground was covered by 10:00 a.m.
Although there was only about an
inch, it was enough. "I decide that
there was too much snow to bother
going to class," explained Shannon
Bentley.

Forgetting about classes, stu-
dents gathered in the quad and a
new sport was discovered; snowball
fights soon were in full swing. "I

have never seen snow before," ex-
claimed Kellie Sims, who is from
Mobile. Alabama. "I had a great
time playing in it and making
snowballs. I ended up drenched
though!"

As the snow started to melt,
some students made plans to travel
north in search of more snow.
However, a few phone calls re-
vealed that the snow was melting
all over.

All students could do was hope
for more snow. The forecast of
flurries for February 15 again
brought joy to eyes of students.
However, the snow refused to stick
that day, and they had to be con-
tent with the memories from their
single snow day for the year. "The
snow is .so cool. It brings out the kid
in everyone," concluded Chris
Lenz.

The members of Atlanta's
Dream Team crossed their fingers
in Tokyo, Japan while thousands
of supporters waited anxiously at
Underground Atlanta. Finally, the
announcement came in the early
morning hours on September 18,
1 990 via satellite. Atlanta was cho-
sen as the site for the 1996 summer
Olympic Games!

Despite tough competition from
other cities, Atlanta won the selec-
tion on the fifth ballot. Athens,
Greece was the other main con-
tender for the site, but the attrac-
tion of tradition for the city of
Athens was not enough to sway the
Olympic Committee.

Hopefully, Oglethorpe Univer-
sity will benefit from this attention
the city. In addition to the wide-
spread exposure for Atlanta, the
sixteen day Olympic Games,
which will be held from July 20th
to August 4th, are expected to
boost local economy by as much as
$3. 48 billion dollars. Tickets to the
various events will be sold from an
average price of S25 to $200.

On November 6, 1990 Demo-
crat Zell Miller was named the
79th Governor Elect for the state
of Georgia. The former Lieutenent
Governor defeated Republican
Johnny Isakson with 53% of the
vote.

Continuing in his family tradi-

in on January 14th by Chief Jus-
tice Harold Clarke. His father was
a distinguished senator, and his
mother served for twenty-five
years on the Young Harris City

Council and was mayor of that city
for two years. However, shortly af-
ter the election. Governor Miller
announced that he will serve only
one term as governor.

Interestingly, as evidenced by
the extensive use of mass media,
analysts claimed that this gover-
nor's race was the most expensive
race in Georgia history. The five
candidates spent a total of $ 1 7 mil-
lion. Millerhimself spent $6. 6 mil-
lion.

LAWRENCE TAYLOR JERSEY Worn During 1986 Season

Super Bowl XXV was definitely
an unprecedented game in football
history. In Tampa on January 27.
1991, the New York Giants took
on the Buffalo Bills. Althougth the
Bills fought hard, the final score
was an incredibly close Giants-20,
Bills-19. In fact, this game was the
first time in Super Bowl history
that a team won by just one point.

The last quarter was particular-
ly disappointing for the Buffalo
Bills. In the last four seconds of the
game. Bills player Scott Norwood
kicked from the 47th yard line in
a last-ditch effort to win. Unfortu-
nately for Buffalo, the ball went
wide right, and the thrill of victory
went to the New York Giants.

Both the Giants' offensive and
defensive line played a tough game
with great skill. In addition to a
fantastic performance by New
York tailback Ottis Anderson,
Lawrence Taylor, outside line-
backer number 56, made a great
contribution to the game. This was
the Giants" second Super Bowl vic-
tory within the last five years.

The Winning Braves. Previous-
ly known as "Loserville" the At-
lanta area sports gave students lit-
tle to be excited about. However,
things have begun to change.

Upon returning for spring se-
mester, students were greeted with
signs advertising their downtown
neighbor, Georgia Tech's Football
National Championship.

The winning seemed to be conta-
gious, for a new phenomenon ap-
peared with spring: the Atlanta
Braves had a winning season! In
fact, they were continually in first
or second place.

Earth Day. Earth Day 1991- a
day set aside for the celebration of
our planet and environment. On
April twenty-second, this well at-
tended celebration was held in
Piedmont Park near downtown At-
lanta. This day was particularly
important because it provided a
highly publicized way of raising
awareness of the many ways in
which the planet and its atmo-
sphere are damaged by man. Fur-
thermore, it allowed for the wide-
spread education of the public
about what they can do, or refrain
from doing in order to prevent fur-
ther damage to the environment.

The Oglethorpe student organi-
zation ECOS (Environmentally
Concerned Oglethorpe Students)
made these two objectives a daily
concern on campus. Although
Earth Day was a useful way to see
these objectives in a national sense.

It seemed that the money spent
on hiring players from the free
agent market was well worth it.
The new lineup, which featured
only one returning starter has pro-
duced amazing results.

The future looks equally bright,

The Georgia Renaissance Fes-

Oglethorpe Students the opportu-
nity to escape the drudgery of aca-
demics. The festival, which was
held every weekend from April
twenty-sixth to June ninth, offered
a variety of activities to make this
rememberable experience.

The festival included plays,
comedy shows, juggling acts, and
jousts.

Also, many goods and services

were for sale in the festival market
place. Oglethorpe student Jennifer
Adkins returned from the festival

braid and mysteriously speaking of
her fortune as told by a palmistry
artist. Mary Catherine Cutcliffe

GLETHORPE DAY

The founding of Oglethorpe is
annuall\ celebrated in February.
With the grow th of the athletic de-
partment over the year, athletics
was deemed this year's theme.

The cheerleaders lent their tal-
ents for decorations, and the gym
sported signs and balloons for the
day's festivities. "We spent all
morning blowing up those bal-
loons." exclaimed Suzanne Brown,
one of the bookstore employees
who helped blow up the many bal-
loons.

The program began with the
Oglethorpe Singers and The Brass
Ensemble leading the crowd in the
"Star Spangled Banner" in honor
of the troops in the gulf.

The featured speaker of the day
was Trustee Steve Schmidt. He
spoke of the past accomplishments
of the athletic teams, including the
past baseball and football teams.
He also introduced the highlight of
the program, a tribute to the mem-
ory of Luke Appling, an alumnus
of Oglethorpe and a member of the
Major League Baseball Hall of
Fame. Just prior to his recent
death. Mr. Appling had been
named Honorary Coach for the
new baseball team.

Otis M. Jackson, a former trust-
ee and member of Oglethorpe Ath-
letic Hall of Fame was also hon-
ored as this year's "Mr. Booster."

Finally, as a salute to future ath-
letics. Dr. Donald Stanton threw
out a baseball to the new coach
Pete Meyer and a basketball to the
new women's coach Brenda Hill-
man. To round out the presenta-
tion, the players put on a "spirit
skit" written by Byron Millican,
and the cheerleaders performed a
routine to the "Stormy Petrel
March."

After the presentation, students
were served lunch in the gym. The
menu consisted of traditional sta-
dium cuisine such as hot dogs and
hamburgers.

After eating, students were able
to try out their own athletic skills.
Games such as football and base-
ball throw, golf, and ping-pong
were provided for students to enjoy
themselves. "It is a lot more fun

when there are games and stuff for
us to do," explained Chris Brown.

At one o'clock, the crowd moved
to the quad for the second annual
"Petrels of Fire Race." A tradition
started by Coach Bob Unger, the
race requires students to circle a
part of the Academic Quad in the
time it takes for the Lupton's noon
time bells to chime. Although he
did not beat the bells, Steve Sum-
merow once again defeated all oth-
er runners to retain the winner's
cup.

Dean Donald Moore explained
that the day was designed to high-
light interesting history about ath-
letics and focus on its future direc-
tion. Along with a fun day for stu-
dents, the day accomplished its
goals.

All in the Family. As the new baseball

coach, Pete Meyer was one of the focal
points of the day's program. His wife Cindy
and their son Mitchell join him to celebrate

Parades, beads, Fat Tuesday's
and trips to New Orleans, it's

ARDI GRAS

Mardi Gras originally began as
a celebration among Roman Cath-
olics which marked the last days of
partying before the somber days of
lent began. Fat Tuesday which is
the culmination of Mardi Gras, is
held every year on the day before
Ash Wednesday.

Although some local bars, par-
ticularly "Fat Tuesday's" cele-
brate the holiday with a large par-
ty, few students have actually wit-
nessed the actual Mardi Gras cele-
bration. This unfortunate
occurrence is due to the fact that
Mardi Gras is only held in New
Orleans. Louisiana, Mobile, Ala-
bama, and a few other Gulf Coast
towns. However, this year a few
students decided to migrate south
to take part in the activities.

A group of Chi Phis, KAs, and
their girlfriends organized a trip to
New Orleans to join in the festivi-
ties. After arranging to stay in a
cottage, the group began the eight
hour trip on the Thursday before
Fat Tuesday. Most of the students
were overwhelmed by what they

saw at the celebration. "People
were stripping left and right, try-
ing to get someone to throw them
these plastic beads." Randy Greer
e.xplained. "It was like there was
some huge contest to see who could
get the most." "All we did was go
to parades, party, and drink," con-
tinues Jimmy Campbell. Unfortu-
nately, the group could not remain
for Fat Tuesday, but had to return
on Sunday for classes.

Other students also made the
trip for Mardi Gras, but instead
went to their hometown of Mobile.
"Mobile's Mardi Gras is not as
raunchy and crowded as New Or-
lean's, but there's enough people to
have a great time," said Kellie
Sims. Misty Gonzales and her bo\-
friend. Dennis Wilson, also visited
Mobile to attend the parades and
balls of the societies which her fa-
ther is a member.

For all those who made the trip,
the conclusion was unanimous: At-
lanta, without a doubt, needs to
start its own celebration of Mardi
Gras.

Throw Me Something! The crowds surge
forward as the brightly lit floats of Mobile's
Mystic Stripers Society ride past the excit-
ed onlookers.

With a pep rally, game and a formal,
the young and old meet for

OMECOMING

Finally, it happened. Ogle-
thorpe students revealed their se-
cret school spirit! Through clever
planning and organizing, Kevin
Meaders and Randy Greer made
Homecoming 1991 a multi-event
celebration. Despite technical
problems, the combination of three
activities was the secret of success.
The triple whammy of a pep rally,
the basketball game, and the for-
mal gave Homecoming the mo-
mentum to wipe out student social
apathy for school events. With the
added incentive of big prizes, al-
most no one could resist participat-
ing.

The bonus of redeeming part of
the formal ticket for a "Homecom-
ing "91" squeezy bottle inspired
many students to come to the pep
rally, but they got much more than
they bargained. Although this first
event was planned as a bonfire to
be held behind the library, rainy

weather on Friday forced the pep
rally to move inside the cafeteria
in the student center. However,
both attendance and spirits were
high as the cheerleaders, the OU
Dance Club, and the bands Criss
Cross and Epitome gave excellent
performances.

For another portion of the ticket.
OU students received a Homecom-
ing t-shirt at the basketball game.
This benefit encouraged the phe-
nomenal attendance at the game
against Shorter on Saturday. Feb-
ruary 23. Unfortunately, the
Stormy Petrels lost the game by
five points. Nevertheless, that Pe-
trel spirit withstood the defeat
through the expectations of the
formal dance that night. They
were not disappointed, because
this event was appropriately the
highlight of the Homecoming
weekend.

Of the three events that were
planned for the weekend of Home-

Carbo's Cafe on Roswell Road.

The band mostly played original

dents went to see Barbaree Church

Students may have remembered
this four member band from previ-
ous performances at other various
local clubs. Nevertheless, everyone
enjoyed the sounds of Barbaree
Church at this formal. The band
definitely was a key factor in the
great success of the dance.

Another feature attraction of
the Homecoming Formal was the
annual crowning of Lord and Lady
Oglethorpe. The candidates were
nominated from various organiza-
tions on campus. All students then
voted for the couple who would be
named Lord and Lady Oglethorpe
for 1991. The representatives of
the Poor Boys, Seniors Fred But-
tell and Doreen Hart, received this
honor.

PRING FEST

"Springfest 91, An Olympic
Weekend" was held the weekend
of April 11-13. Oglethorpe was
host to seventy-four prospective
freshmen. They were divided into
four different teams, each being
led by two faculty or staff mem-
bers.

This year the admissions staff
asked the organizations on campus
to help sponsor some of the differ-
ent activities. Some of the greek or-
ganizations as well as other cam-
pus groups volunteered. The four
different teams competed in the

games in an effort to encourage
unity among the prospectives.

In addition to competing in the
games, the prospectives had the
opportunity to meet with an advi-
sor, attend classes, take placement
tests, and preregister for fall clas-
ses. They also saw a play and at-
tended Greek Week functions.

However, the most important
part of Springfest was that it gave
prospective students the opportu-
nity to attend college for a week-
end and experience it, from living
in the dorms to cafeteria food.

the monumental day . . .

RADUATION

Exams were over, and the par-
ties had begun. For seniors, one fi-
nal step was left: graduation was
finally here.

It was a time for celebration,
and the seniors made the most of
it. They were honored at a party
held by the Junior Class at the
Chameleon Club. The night, with
all exams over, marked the end of
all college work. The KAs then fol-
lowed up with another party the
next night in honor of their gradu-
ating fraternity brothers, little sis-
ters, and all the other graduates.
As family members began to ar-
rive, the seniors and their friends
and relatives were entertained by

The seniors got their first taste
of the big day at graduation prac-

the speeches and directions, few
appeared to actually be listening.
Their minds were elsewhere.

The day finally dawned, hot and
rainy. It was hoped that the cere-
mony could still be held outdoors,
but a steadily increasing rain
quickly quenched those ideas. As
the audience moved inside, the
graduates found themselves being
arranged in line. Finally, the pro-
cession began.

The ceremony included the con-

Students knew that all the
hard work would be worth it.
However, as they plowed through
journals in the library basement,
it was difficult to be so optimistic.
Despite their feelings on the sub-
ject, students knew that to survive,
a large part of their lives had to in-
volve academics.

In order to make the time
spent studying more productive,
students found their own unique
study spot, whether it was the li-
brary, or sitting in the middle of
the quad. They also discovered
that frequent study breaks helped
to ease the hours of studying.

Students knew that it could
be worse. The small classes and
personal attention from professors
made hard classes a little easier.
The ability to take courses which
they were interested in also made
studying more fun.

Many students have found that the
key to productive studying is finding the
right environment for studying. This can
vary from person to person and for differ-
ent types of homework.

The traditional place for studying
has always been the library. Many stu-
dents such as Hal Royer find that the
tables and study carols of the library pro-
vide the seclusion and quiet which they
need to study. However, with so many
people in the library, some students find
that they end up spending more time so-
cializing than studying. For this reason.
Randy Greer decided that the 24-hour
study room in Goslin provided a much
better place to study. "It is not a social
scene like the library is," he explained.

Some people like to study with

others around, but prefer to move the
study sessions to a less public place. "Lots
of times a bunch of us will go buy beer
and then drink while we do homework.
The only problem is that you can only do
that with busy-work type homework,"
said LaRisa Slaughter.

However, most students seem to feel
that the seclusion of their rooms offers
the best studying environment. Here,
they have access to their computers, the
phone, food and drinks. They can even
spread their stuff all over the floor if they
wish, as Scott Frey prefers to do. Home
is also better for those late night studiers
like Danny Turner who studies at 1:00
AM because "it is the only quiet time on
campus."

Honors

For those highly motivated students,
the school offers a program which allows
them to do their own research and devel-
op a thesis paper and presentation. If
completed successfully, the student will
graduate with honors in the field in which
the thesis was completed.

The course starts the second semes-
ter of the junior year. After being de-
clared eligible, based on their GPA, stu-
dents begin to search for just the right
topic which interests them enough to
spend a year working on it. As they begin
their preliminary research, the juniors
also attend the honors presentations
made by seniors. Finally at the end of the
semester, they must hand in a prospectus
which defines their topic.

The true honors work begins in the
fall as seniors complete the bulk of their

research. The type of research can vary
greatly depending on the subject of the
thesis. For those doing traditional papers
in history, philosophy or literature, hours
are spent searching through books and
journals. Students presenting a thesis in
writing, psychology or science may actu-
ally complete their own research through
experiments or autobiographical works.
Students are given three hours of credit
for their work.

As spring semester approaches, only
revisions of the paper and the presenta-
tion itself remain. Upon review of the pa-
per and presentation, a committee of
three faculty members decides if the
work merits honors status. After all the
work, most committees mercifully award
the coveted honors status.

Students at Oglethorpe often find
that they are required to spend a great
deal of time doing homework and study-
ing. Therefore, in order to keep their sani-
ty, many people take frequent study
breaks to break up the monotonous hours
of work.

Some students have worked out an
elaborate system of studying and breaks,
a schedule of when to take breaks and
how long to take them. Other students
take breaks when they hit a convenient
stopping point in their studies. Still
others, like may listen to their own mind
and take a break when the need arises.
"I take my breaks when 1 fall asleep," ex-
plains Lisa Rock.

The big question then arises of what
to do during the much needed break. For

the other hand, instead of TV, some go

friends at the SAE house.

For those well disciplined or frazzled
souls, now is the chance to start some
laundry or do some much needed clean-
ing. "1 study in the middle of my floor,

The library has traditionally been
the study place of students. The study
room and many study carols provide the
quiet atmosphere which students need for
their studying. "1 always go to the library
for my serious studying!" exclaims Me-
gan Grogan.

The library does not meet the needs
for all students; however, and many have
voiced their complaints about the lack of
resources available. "I always have to go
to Emory's library for my term papers.
1 had one due on sharks and our library
had one book: a kids" bookl" complained
Robb Sellards.

Even with the few resources avail-
able, students realized how much they
appreciated the library when it closed for
a week following a fire on November I.
The fire apparently was started by a
surge of electricity in faulty wiring. Al-
though no materials were damaged, and
there was only minimal structural dam-
age on the fifth floor, the library re-
mained closed for a week while the Fire
Marshall inspected the building's wiring.

Fire's Out! An electrical fire in the library's tower
.sent a flurry of excitement onto the campus as fire
trucks rushed lo the scene. The fire was quickly
brought under control when the ladder truck was
put into service. Photo courtesy of Mark Caprio.

"It was right in the middle of term paper
time," explained Angela Moss. "Most
teachers were pretty understanding, but
students with stricter teachers ended up
at Emory."

The wiring and the rest of the library
will receive a facelift when the new addi-
tion is added. The new addition, a goal
of President Stanton's, should make
many new resources available to the stu-
dents, alleviating the trips to Emory.

The addition finally got underway
with the ground breaking on January 29.

One thing could always manage to
get students up and moving well before
their normal waking hour. That fear of
not getting into their desired classes moti-
vated students to be at the registrar's of-
fice by 8:30 on the first day of registra-
tion.

After years of enduring the great
rush on the first day of registration, and
hearing seniors complain about closed
classes, the registrar's office decided to
delegate a day of registration to each
class. "Everyone used to come the first
day and that just didn't work," explained
Amy Mahony of the registrars office.
"Now it's not so cutthroat. People can see
their advisor on a more normal schedule."

Since seniors were given the first
day, they heartily approved of the new
system. "It worked for me," exclaimed
Jim Beall. Steve Greene added that it

was better since many seniors need cer-
tain classes to graduate, whereas the un-
derclassmen don't need them yet.

Many underclassmen also found the
system fair, feeling as Dave Fisher did,
that seniors had earned the right to go
first. John Gibbs agreed that the new
policy was good because otherwise "it'd
be chaos!" Although they knew the sys-
tem was a fair way to solve a big problem,
Zack Butler expressed the feelings of
many freshmen and sophomores when he
said, "it stinks for us." "Two of my classes
were already closed, and I got there when
it opened."

Despite the mixed feelings, the new
policy made the week go much smoother
for the staff and the students. "It worked
out well. The lines were shorter, and there
was not as much pressure," concluded ,lu-
lian Robichaux.

Although not frequented by many
full-time students, the Continuing Edu-
cation office is a very busy place. This di-
vision of the school was designed to allow
older students to continue their educa-
tion. All students must be twenty-one
years or older and enrolled in only night
and Saturday classes to be considered for
the program. Most of the students are
employed full time. Some are trying to
finish up degrees which they had pursued
in earlier years, whereas other are seek-
ing further education in order to make
their skills more marketable. The school

has special programs for companies to
pay for their employees" classes.

The staff of the office divides up the
many duties which allow older students
to continue their education. Dr. John
Thames, Dean of Continuing Education,
is responsible for advising the continuing
ed students. Dr. Carl Pirkle advises stu-
dents in the non-credit courses.

The non-credit courses are open to
any adult, and cost only a small fee. The
classes include foreign languages, busi-
ness, and personal enrichment courses, as
well as many others.

Awards

All of the work which students com-
plete for their classes does not go com-
pletely unnoticed. Aside from the person-
al satisfaction and the edge at interview-
ing time, hard work and superior grades
are awarded annually at the Honors and
Awards Night.

Those students who have been selected
into Who's Who Among American Col-
leges and Universities, the Freshmen
Honor Society, or another of the numer-
ous other honor societies, receive their
certificates at this time.

The majority of the night is devoted to
conferring the prestigious individual
awards to selected students. Awards are

given out to outstanding business, psy-
chology, education, history, political
studies, English, science, and philosophy
majors. Awards for those talented stu-
dents are given in poetry, prose, art, and
singing. The sophomore and freshman
with the highest GPA is also recognized.
Even the outstanding teachers are recog-
nized. This year Dr. Brightman received
the Pierian Spring Award and Dr. Weiss
received the Kappa Alpha Golden Apple
Award.

Although it is difficult to say if the
awards really made it all worthwhile,
most recipients agreed that it was nice to
be recognized.

The Poet. An annual contest is held to determine Outstanding Scholar. Amanda Paetz, congratu-

The many activities and
events offered to students were the
products of the diverse organiza-
tions which made up campus life.

The honor societies and aca-
demic clubs allowed students to
display their talents to the world
as well as to find their own niche
in the outside world.

The performing clubs gave
students the opportunity to devel-
op their talents, whether they were
in music, drama, dance, or art.
The publications also gave stu-
dents with a flair for writing or
photography a chance to sharpen
their skills while keeping other
students abreast on news.

The new bright spot was the
formation of ECOS. Its efforts
brought recycling to campus and
taught all students the importance
of saving the environment.

1991 was a very successful
year for the publications. The
yearbook staff was composed
of about 10 students. Each was
dedicated to their job, whether
it was taking pictures, writing
stories, or compiling layouts.
The staff also participated in
numerous campus events,
such as portrait taking at Par-
ents' Weekend. The Yama-
craw staff is very proud to
present the 1991 yearbook to

the students.

The Tower is Oglethorpe's
literary magazine. It was writ-
ten and compiled exclusively
b> students. ,'\ny student
could submit their work
whether it was a romantic
poem or a short story, and all
students were encouraged to
submit their work.

The last of Oglethorpe's
publications is the student
newspaper The Stormy Pe-

trel . Every two weeks, a new
edition of the paper was deliv-
ered hot off the presses, and
students flocked to see the lat-
est news on Oglethorpe's
sports and organizations as
well as opinions on such inter-
esting events as the Gulf War.
All this was done under the
watchful eyes of advisors Dr.
Bill Brightman and Randy
Smith.

Besides having a wide array
of social clubs and service or-
ganizations, Oglethorpe has a
number of honor societies.
Two organizations that held
initiations last Spring were
Phi Alpha Theta and Alpha
Chi.

Phi Alpha Theta is Ogle-
thorpe's history honorary. To
be eligible for membership in
Phi .Alpha Theta. a student
must have achieved at least a
3.1 GPA in four or more histo-
ry courses and have a 3 .0 G PA
overall. Current and new
members for this past year in-
cluded Angle Chandler,

Debbie Shreve, Robin Rowc,
Cathy Appling, Charlton
Walker, Archella Pavlisko,
Brent Johnson, Chris Ponder,
and Dave Fischer who served
as President. The club's advi-
sors were Paul Hudson and
Dr. Brian Ladd.

Alpha Chi is another of
Oglethorpe's honor societies.
The club's purpose is to pro-
mote academic excellence
among college and university
students. Inducted in the
Spring were Deborah Balmes,
Camilla Cruikshank, Jennifer
Flamm, Misty Gonzales, Amy
Grossman, Kathleen Hakim,

Sherrie Massie, Betty McKee,

Sigma.

Other honorary organiza-
tions on campus included Om-
icron Delta Kappa, Beta Om-
icron Sigma, Psi Chi, Sigma

Black Student Caucus,

ganizations have in common?
They all deal with politics in
some form or another.

Black Student Caucus, a
fairly new organization at
Oglethorpe, was founded with
the goal to improve the lives of
blacks at Oglethorpe Univer-
sity and the surrounding com-
munity. B. S. C, as the club
is known, held meetings every
other Thursday throughout
the school year. The club's
members were responsible for
the Springfest party that was
held in the Bomb Shelter dur-
ing Springfest. During the

past year the club also pre-
sented a certificate of appreci-
ation to Vivian Marshall who
works in the Business Office.
The award was given in recog-
nition of the time and work
Mrs. Marshall puts forth to
help students with their prob-
lems.

The Thalian Society was
formed in 1834, when Ogle-
thorpe University was located

in Milledgeville, Georgia. The
Society held weekly meetings
and discussed topics concern-
ing O. U. students. Topics this
past year included the Gulf
War, homosexuality, and En-
glish Literature.

Other political clubs at
Oglethorpe include College
Democrats, Amnesty Interna-
tional, and Student Affairs
Forum.

Chiaroscuro. Oglethorpe's
Art Club, started two years
ago under the direction of
Lloyd Nick. The club was de-
signed for anyone who creat-
ed, enjoyed, or appreciated art
of any kind, whether it be a
painting, a piece of music, or
a sculpture, or anything else.

For 1991, the club's high-
light was definitely the four
day art show held in the Great
Hall of Hearst. The objective
was to show the community
art created by Oglethorpe stu-
dents, faculty and staff. At the
end of the four days, there was
a judging of the best exhibit

and three winners were select-
ed overall.

However, the community
was not left out of the judging.
Chiaroscuro gave the opportu-
nity for all visitors to the show
to try to guess which exhibit
would win the contest. The
winner of this game got a free
dinner for two at a dining es-
tablishment in Buckhead.

Chiaroscuro Co-Chairman
and graduating senior Naomi
Walker admitted that the pri-
mary goal of the club, both for
this past year and for the com-
ing year, is to grow. "The cam-
pus needs to know more about

it." says Naomi. She credited
the success of the club, howev-
er, to the dedicated students
involved. They were able to
work well together and act as
a team.

People may become more
familiar with the term Chiar-
oscuro. The club recently had
a banner put up in the cafete-
ria. The banner, made by
Wendy Sullivan, was an effort
to make the community more
awareof the club. However, in
the coming years. Chiaroscuro
is sure to grow.

Where did religion and the
community intersect this past
year? On Tuesday nights, of
course! This is when Ogle-
thorpe Christian Fellowship
met.

OCF met throughout the
year and discussed concerns of
college students and other in-
teresting topics and studied

what the Bible had to say
about these topics. To add to
these discussions, OCF invited
guest speakers and missionar-
ies as well as the Oglethorpe
community.

In addition to these discus-
sions, OCF participated in
several other activities such as
their small group Bible stud-

ies, the clubs annual retreat to
Jackson, GA, and the service
projects at the Marion Manor
Care Home. To help coordi-
nate all of these events and ac-
tivities, OCF took on a new
staff member Leslie
Haynes. Both OCF and the
entire community welcome
her to Oglethorpe.

Service played an important
role on Oglethorpe's campus.
This could easily be seen
through the large number of
Oglethorpe students involved
in service oriented organiza-
tions.

Rotaract is one of O.U.'s
service clubs. It was open to
anyone who was interested in
service to the school and the
community. In the fall, Rota-
ract held their annual Trick-
or-Treat in Traer in which kids
from the surrounding neigh-
borhood came to Traer dormi-
tory to go trick-or-treating on
Halloween night. Rotaract
does this to provide a safe envi-
ronment for the children. It is

Trick-Or-Treat. Two visitors from
the neighborhood take a break during

also a good excuse to buy lots
of Halloween candy.

In the spring, the club's
members did several service
projects that included plan-
ning parties for children at the
Children's Hospital and at the
Council for Battered Women.
Rotaract also helped out at the
YWCA and the local Humane
Society. Between all these pro-
jects, these devoted Ogle-
thorpe students still found
time to work at Soup Kitchens
in midtown Atlanta and visit
a nearby Nursing Home to
spend time with the elderly.

Not to be outdone by Rota-
ract. Alpha Phi Omego. O.U.'s
service fraternitv. had an

equally busy year in 1990 and
1991. Starting in the Fall,
APO took up several long term
service projects. These includ-
ed working with handicapped
children at Chastain stables,
and working with underprivi-
leged children at the Atlanta
Boys Club. APO also tutored
children in the special educa-
tion program in the DeKalb
County School Systems and
prepared meals for the Open
Hand project a group that
prepares meals for AIDS pa-
tients.

All in all, it was an extreme-
ly busy year for service clubs

volved, it was time well spent.

Academics plays an impor-
tant role in the life of an aver-
age O. U. student. After all,
most students are here for the
education. Hence, it is not sur-
prising to learn that a large
portion of the campus organi-
zations deal with academics.
These clubs provided students
with like interests the opportu-
nity to get together and learn
things that were not always
taught in the classrooms.

The Accounting Club had a
productive year that started
way back in the fall with a re-
ception at Dr. Middleton's
house. The get-together was
not only for O.U. students, but
also for corporate recruiters
and accounting firm represen-
tatives. This gave the students
and the recruiters a chance to
get to know each other infor-
mally before the hiring pro-
cess began.

In the spring, the club invit-
ed several speakers to come to
the group's meetings. Among
these privileged guests were
John Dykes, Vice-President of
Finance for Engraph, Inc. and
Mark Adams, controller, and
Bill McKee, Director of Bev-
erage Products, both of Sun-
tour Water Group.

In April, several members
of the club got an opportunity
to visit the public accounting
firm of Deloitte and Touche,
one of the Big Six accounting
firms. The year concluded, as

it began, at Dr. Middleton's
house, with the annual spring
social.

The Young Professionals
Club had a prosperous first
year. After organizing in Sep-
tember, the club had several
meetings and speakers. They
also helped the Career Plan-
ning and Placement Office
with the widely popular Ca-
reer Day.

By far the most popular
event the Young Professionals
Club sponsored, however, was
the pie-throwing contest in the
academic quad in March. In
this gala event, students, or
weenies as Dr. Hetherington
would say, got a chance to
avenge the long drawn out
days of class by throwing whip
cream pies at the likes of Dr.
Dean Tucker, Dr. Heth-

erington, and a few other dedi-
cated O.U. faculty and staff
members.

Another popular academic
club was the English Club.
This organization was not just
for English majors, though, as
anyone was more than wel-
come to join. The club kicked
the year off with a Halloween
party and poetry reading un-
der Hermance Stadium. For
Valentine's Day, the club as-
sembled to hear and read
poems and other works of lit-
erature that were parodies on
love. Finally in April, the En-
glish Club voted for the recipi-
ent of the Pierian Award. This
coveted award goes to the Hu-
manities Professor who most
deserves recognition.

Oglethorpe Student Associ-
ation, the university's govern-
ing body, had an extremely
busy year, as always, and got
many things accomplished.

In the Fall semester. OSA
was responsible for Movie
Night (although they were not
responsible for the weather),
the RoctoberFest, and the
Christmas dance.

In the spring semester, the
Student Association helped
make campus events such as
Geek Week, Service Day, and
Faculty Talent Night possible.
The body also held a second
Movie Night and again, did
not claim responsibility for the

weather. The highlight of
OSA's spring was Homecom-
ing. OSA outdid itself to cre-
ate one of the best Homecom-
ing Weekends in recent \ears
with a bonfire on Friday night
and the traditional Homecom-
ing Formal on Saturday night.
The Oglethorpe Student
Association also subsidized
several parties for the Resi-
dence Hall Association, such

as last Spring's Beach Bash. In
addition to this event, the or-
ganization also funded new
uniforms for the O. U. Dance
Co. and purchased a new pool
table for the Bomb Shelter.
OSA ended their productive
year with elections of new offi-
cers that took place in April.
Julian Robichaux was elected
as the new OSA president.

In 1990 and 1991 students
saw a wide variety of perform-
ances at Oglethorpe. Groups
ranging from the Players to the
Dancers performed for stu-
dents at various campus events.

Led by their new director,
Lee Bogus, the O. L. Players
began their season with the fal

production of The Real Inspec-
tor Hound followed by the
spring performance of Travel-
ler In the Dark. Not to leave
out the child in us all, though,
the Players also performed the
fairy tale production Story
Theater in Febuary.

Music fans were certainly
not disappointed tinis year.
The University Singers and
the Brass Ensemble perform-
ed throughout the year includ-
ing concerts at the Boar's
Head Ceremaoy, and at the
University's Harpsichord ded-
ication. They also helped the
spirits of students at Ogle-
thorpe Day with the "Star
Spangled Banner" played to
honor those men and women

fighting in the Persian Gulf,
and then completed the pro-
gram with the rousing
"Stormy Petrel March."

What if a student did not
want to go see performances of
music or of drama, though?
The answer to this question
became clear in 1989 when
Vanessa Bozeman formed the
Oglethorpe Dance Co. The
Dance Company completed
their second season of jazz

dance by performing at nu-
merous Oglethorpe basketball
games, the homecoming pep
rally, as well as at the Night
of the Arts. The team also per-
formed there own production
in April.

All of these clubs did an out-

The Greeks settled them-
selves off campus in time for the
beginning of the year rush weetcs.
After successful weeks for all, the
pledges found themselves with
many new friends on Bid Day.

The Greeks held their normal
round of parties. SAE had its Box-
er Party, and Chi Phi continued its
Halloween Tradition. Both KA
and Delta Sig celebrated their new
houses with parties.

The organizations also kept
themselves busy preparing for
their formals. Each fraternity and
sorority organized a dance, trip to
the beach or both.

The year peaked with the an-
nual week of events known as
Greek Week. Greeks were amazed
to discover that for the first time
ever, two fraternities, Chi Phi and
SAE, tied for first place.

Going
Greek

Rush 1990 was a
huge success as far as
both the sororities and
all the fraternities were
concerned.

Chi Omega and Tri
Sigma had their tradi-
tional two rush parties
and a preferential par-
ty. The rush parties
gave an opportunity for
the rushees to meet the
sisters of both sorori-
ties. In turn, the sisters
performed skits and ex-
plained sorority life to
the rushees.

During rush for the
Delta Sigma Phi frater-
nity, there were volley-
ball games, movie par-
ties, bowling, and trips
to Stone Mountain.
Rush Dinner was at the
Gyro Wrap. SAE had
two joint parties with
Chi Phi during rush
week. For open house,
they had casino night,
and for their dinner

they served barbecue
and Brunswick stew.

In addition to the
parties with SAE, Chi
Phi took some prospec-
tive rushees to Stone
Mountain and also en-
tertained them with a
stripper. A rib dinner
was enjoyed by the
rushees at the Chi Phi
house. Kappa Alpha's
open house consisted of
meeting the rushees
and showing the video
of last year's Old South
ball and trip to Fort
Walton. The Rush Din-
ner was held at Eric
Gregory's home. Lasa-
gna, garlic bread, and
salad were served to
ravenous rushees. Over-
all, everyone had a
great time getting to
know the new students,
and the rushees enjoyed
their taste of Greek Life
at Oglethorpe.

Thoughts on
Sigma, Sigma.
Sigma:

Sometimes we
stand outside life
waiting for a door
to open. Hoping the
person behind that
door will let us in
and be our friend. 1
was once on the
outside, until a door
opened to me. Be-
hind it I found not
only a friend, but a
new world; a Sister-
hood - Tri Sigma.
Now I stand behind
that door, on the in-
side, helping to
open it for someone
else who stands
where I once stood.

Last year. Kappa Al-

included a song called
"Homeless Man" which
lamented the loss of
Greek housing. Unfor-
tunately. Kappa Alpha.
Delta Sigma Phi, Tri
Sigma, and Chi Omega
lost their houses at the
end of last year due to
a land deal made by the
school. (By the way. the
deal fell through, and
the school felt the
pinch.)

Despite this minor
setback, the Greeks
have managed to find
new houses and make
other arrangements.
The new Delta Sigma

Phi house is located on
North Druid Hills near
Briarcliffc. Living in
the new house are Presi-
dent Rodney Drinkard.
Vice President Dennis

Don Lombardy. The

anymore, but they have
a decent lime anyway.

lucrative land deal. On
May 1 5th. there will be
a committee of admin-
istration representa-
tives and sorority repre-
sentatives to discuss the
problem of housing. In
the meantime, the so-
rorities hold their chap-
ter meetings in the stu-
dent center. In addition,
the school has been gra-
cious enough to allow
the sororities to occupy
a suite in Traer. Tri
Sigma will have one
room, and Chi Omega
will have the other. Chi
Phi maintained their
house, and SAE still
has their house.

Greeks Know
How to Party

If there is one thing
that Greeks are icnovvn
for, it is their ability to
let loose and party.
While the sororities just
have mixers, the frater-
nities have many par-
ties throughout the
year.

Delta Sigma Phi has
only two big bashes
throughout the year.
The first is their Pledge
Party. The other big
bash is the infamous
(and invitation only)
Toga Party. Rodney
Drinkard reflects, "If
you have ever attended
the Delta Sigma Phi
Toga Party, you know
what a real party in the
sheets is."

SAE's parties are at-
tended school wide,
aside from the few ex-
ceptions who are not in-
vited. Traditionally,
SAE has a Thursday
night groove at the
house. In addition, the
Shipwreck party, the
Boxer Rebellion, the
Kindergarten Mixer,
and the Hobo party are
annual events at SAE.

Chi Phi is well-re-
nowned for having par-
ties at which those at-
tending party in excess.
The Halloween party is
a yearly festivity. This
year, the Chi Phi's also
had a few generic par-
ties, a Hat Party, and,
of course, the after

spring break blues par-
ty: the Horny Little Chi
Phi party. Every
Wednesday night at
Chi Phi is hump day
movie night.

The KA"s are reput-
ed to have parties where
lots of Doors and Stones
is played, and random
people are seen hugging
stereo speakers on the
ground. The KA's be-
gan the year with an
Elvis party, followed b\
the KA Corral, two Ini-
tiation parties, a Pledge
Party, a Tailgate Party,
and the Peace Party to
celebrate the end of the
war in the Gulf. Did
anyone see Jim Morri-
son there?

Part of the crowd. A fraterni-
ty can be a whole set of friends
for pledges. Billy Stalker has

KA little sister Misty Gon-
zales as a new pal.

Way Down South. One of the
KA's favorite things to do is
to sing a rousing rendition of
"Dixie." The new pledges get
the chance to try their voices
for the first time at the Bid
Day party.

Welcome Aboard. Another
one of the KA's favorite
things to do is to welcome
their new pledges to the fra-
ternity by "shampooing"
them with beer and serenad-
ing them with that great song
of the South.

Greek
Week '91

April 7th-15th
Greeks were going cra-
zy. For most Greek or-
ganizations at Ogle-
thorpe, Greek Week
should be renamed Hell
Week. Exams are fast
approaching, term pa-
pers are due. and the
Greeks on campus have
no time for school for an
entire week.

Much preparation
and thought goes into
the quest for the Greek
Week trophy. Each fra-
ternity struggles to
prove that they are the
most well-rounded
Greek organization.
Skits, sings, and
speeches are sometimes
prepared weeks in ad-
vance. Not only do
these activities require
practice, but they also

involve much creativity,
and each fraternity did
a commendable job.

Sunday night Greek
Week begins with each
fraternity's sing and
speech. As everyone is
well aware, the skits are
performed on Wednes-
day night. This year the
skits were extremely
creative, with Chi Phi
capturing Best Skit for
their version of Star
Trek, the Search for the
Eternal Keg.

During the week,
there are numerous
sporting events, from
teams sports such as
football and softball to
individual sports like
racquetball, tennis,
golf, and ping pong.
Other popular Greek
Week events included

darts at the Chi Phi
house, and the famed
midnight bowling.
Thursday night
brought the Greek
Week Anchorman com-
petition. Kappa Alpha
claimed victory for the
fourth year in a row.
Chris Lenz has added
this illustrious achieve-
ment to his resume.

On Saturday, Greek
Week events last much
of the day. In addition
to races, there is a soft-
ball toss, a long jump,
and other sporting
events. The Best-Dres-
sed Greeks and the Best
Chariots are paraded
on this day. There arc
also some humorous
competitions such as
the Bat Man, the three-
legged race, and of

Checking things over. Stasi
Bara did an excellent job of

Greek Week ended
with a dance and cele-
bration in theO. U. caf-

SAE tied for first place
in the overall competi-
tion. Chi Phi was the
overall social winner,
and Kappa Alpha won
overall sports competi-
tion.

Dressed in Drag. Part of the

fun of Greek Week is acting
out and dressing up for the
skit competition Steve Green
shows he is secure in his mas-
cuUnity by dressing like a
woman.

Each fraternity put
forth a great effort and
this fact was evidenced
all through Greek
Week. In addition to
preparing for and at-
tending sporting events,
each fraternity had to
spend a great deal of
time preparing for the
social events. However,
this hard work paid off
in victory for Chi Phi
and SAE. Hopefully,
next year's competition
will be just as exciting
as this year's. Maybe it
will even be less violent

than this year's. As
Greek Life continues to
thrive on Oglethorpe's
campus, I'm sure Greek
Week will get better
and better each year.
Anyway, as Stasi Bara
would put it, "Thank
you for attending Greek
Week 91."

The people were truly the
stars in the never ending drama
which made up campus life. The
students, faculty and staff all
played a part in making the year
what it was.

As the freshmen wondered if
they would ever get used to col-
lege, the sophomores rejoiced at no
longer being freshmen. The jun-
iors were happy to finally be
upperclassmen, and the seniors be-
gan to wonder, "What do 1 do
now?"

The students managed to bal-
ance clubs, jobs, sports and aca-
demics and still have time to really
enjoy themselves. After all, half of
college is having fun.

The faculty continued to de-
vote themselves to the students in
a way seldom seen at colleges. The
staff and administration rounded
out the picture by keeping life run-
ning smoothly.

Friends Forever

One might ask, why are sen-
iors always smiling? The an-
swer is simple. For four years
seniors have been meeting new
people and making new
friends. From these encoun-
ters with other people, most
every student has found a
group of friends which they
can call their own. A group
which shares common ideas,
good times, bad times, and all
the other adventures in be-
tween.

Everyone arrives at college
and immediately becomes
friends with their roommate,
at least on the surface. But af-
ter awhile, once students get to
know each other, which is not
too hard at a small school like
Oglethorpe, and once they've
spent quality time at social
events with other people, heart
warming friendships between
two, or twenty, people are
formed.

These are the types of

friendships which last forever,
through thick and thin. It is
safe to say that most students
entertain adult level friend-
ships with people by the time
they are seniors in college.

Hopefully every senior will
look back at their college days
in twenty years or so and will
be able to say that they still
keep in touch with their col-
lege buddies. Activities in col-
lege which are exclusively
friendship related are never

As the old saying goes,
friends are forever, and with-
out fail, the friendships made
between students here at
Oglethorpe will last forever.

If course Little Five Points.
re the areas most frequented
[y Oglethorpe students.
J Going to parties held by the
raternities on campus are also
lopular forms of entertain-

ment for students. Ever\
weekend one of the four fra-
ternities represented at O. U.
tries to have some sort of party
in order to give students some-
thing to do on the weekends.
There are theme parties,
dance parties, and of course
there are exclusive seasonal
closed parties.

Some students get the han-
kering for something a little
bit more than a party when
free time is available. Many
seniors report that several
times a year they take off on
a road trip to different areas
of the SouthEast. People have

been known to take off for
Florida. New Orleans, and oc-
casionally Athens. Georgia
v\ h e r c U G A is located.
There's just something about
spontaneously taking off with
a group of friends and driving
to another c i t > to p a r t \ .
"Sometimes there is just not a
lot to do on campus, so I head
for Athens with friends to go
see bands give concerts."
states Joe Shelton. a senior at
Oglethorpe.

Besides the parties, road
trips, and night clubs which
entertain students, some find
that it is nice just to relax in

their room and listen to music,
read, or just hang out with
friends. "Thai's the good thing

ciding what might be more
fun.

Where

Students

Live

There comes a point in time
when every student gets a little
frustrated with living on cam-
pus. Some people get sick of
their roommates, some pray
for privacy, and some just
want to be able to do as they
please without having to worry
about an RA lurking around
every corner. The most popu-
lar option is to move off cam-
pus.

The idea of having a place
to call home is very pleasing to
students. There are no housing
regulations, such as visiting
hours, alcohol policies, and
damage deposits to deal with.
Also, some students find that
it is cheaper, and there is more
privacy when they move off
campus. Zois Spiliotis. a sen-
ior, stated that "I left the
dorms because I couldn't
stand listening to my room-

Visiting Campus. Chris Lenz, who
lives off campus, often returns to cam-
pus just to see what is going on.

Study Room. Joe Shelton studies in
his dorm room where it is nice and qui-
et.

mates rap music, now I can go
into my own room and listen
to whatever I want to."

But of course, there are also
some disadvantages to moving
off campus. There are some
unexpected expenses that
come into play. Things such as
furniture, beds, housekeeping,
and the meal plan are all in-
cluded in the cost of on cam-
pus housing. Living on campus
also gives students easy access
to University facilities. For
some students these little ob-
stacles are easily overcome,
but for others these things
could perpetuate unnecessary
hassles. Steve Green, a senior,
believes that "Living on cam-
pus is good for several reasons,
one being that you hear about
more campus events, and you
get to see more people."

The housing department at

Oglethorpe has tried to pro-
vide suitable and comfortable
housing for students at a com-
parable price to off campus
residency. During the fall se-i
mester of 1990, a survey was
sent out to students to try to
assess what types of com-i|
plaints students had about on
campus housing. The goal of
the survey was to find out what
needed to be changed to en-
courage students to continue
living on campus.

The debate over whether or
not to live on campus is one
that every student gets caught
up in. Some people feel that
living off campus is much
more rewarding. Then there
are others who prefer to live on
campus where everything is
accessible. Overall, it depends
upon what ever makes the stu-
dent happy.

Its Study Time

It's nice and warm outside,
the semester is winding down,
and spring fever has set in. No
one in their right mind would
rather be studying than froi-
icicing in the sun somewhere in
Atlanta. But there is time for
play, and there is time for
study. Being a senior is nice
until you realize that there are
certain things you absolutely
must do in order to graduate
on time, or at least soon there-
after.

Oglethorpe has provided
each and every student with a
rigid core program to com-
plete as well as a very defined
program to go along with eve-
ry major. By the time one is a
senior, most of the core pro-
gram is completed and courses
pertaining to one's major area
of study are emphasized.
These classes, being of utmost
importance concerning major
fields, are quite difficult and
often take a lot of time and ex-
treme effort on the students'
part. Studying is the only way

to perform well. Besides,
that's why one comes to col-
lege: hopefully, to study and
become somewhat of an expert
in a certain field of interest.

Some students report that
they have a certain technique
which enables them to skim
material for class, then cram
for the test. Others say that
they must keep up daily by be-
ing prepared for class, taking
notes, and studying the mate-
rial a few days before tests,
rather than cramming, in or-
der to do well in courses. Steve
Green, a senior, says that he
enjoys "studying every day,
occasionally blowing off week-
ends, in order to make good
grades."

Where do seniors study?
Many find the atmosphere of
the library pleasant and quiet.
There are library staff mem-
bers on duty to help students
find what they need. Other
students report that they like
to study in their room, at the
stadium, or even in the aca-
demic quad. No matter where
one studies, every student
knows that it is an important
thing to do, if one expects to
graduate from such a presti-
gious school as Oglethorpe
University.

Computer Blues. Steve Green studies
hard using the periodical computer in
the library.

Booknorms Scott McKelvey, Lisa
Cross, and Linda Wallace study in the
library art gallery.

Out Of Here!!

As soon as seniors begin
their last semester at Ogle-
thorpe, if not sooner, they be-
gin to wonder just exactly how
they can go about getting a
job. The process of finding em-
ployment which suits the
needs of aspiring businessmen
and women is very frustrating
if one has no idea where to
start. Students can always call
home, but often even parents
can't be of much help because
they don't know what oppor-
tunities are out their for new
college graduates.

Luckily. Oglethorpe has
provided students with a won-
derful career resource, the Ca-
reer Planning and Placement
Department. Located in the
student center, where most
students frequent at least a
few times a year, this depart-
ment offers counselors, mate-

Nobles proofreads a resume before
she returns it to a career minded stu-
dent.

Finding a Job. Britt Landrum, a
senior, checlcs out the career board in
hopes of finding a job opportunity.

rial, pamphlets, books and
seminars on how to get a suc-
cessful job upon graduation.

Katherine Nobles, the Di-
rector of Career Planning and
Placement, is a great person to
discuss future career plans
with. She is always willing to
help students with resumes,
interviews, and seminars. She
uses her vast knowledge of
what businesses look for in
new professionals, and she
helps students to organize
their search according to what
she believes will help them get
a job. She provides students
with seminars to attend, and
she encourages every student
to take part in the Career Fair
which is offered every year.
Mrs. Nobles helps students
make the right contacts, and
she gives them a definite push
in the right direction.

The Career Planning anc
Placement Department alsc
has a career opportunities bul-
letin board set up for students!
to utilize. This bulletin boarc
lists potential employmenl
opportunities ranging frorr
the local level to state level.
There are also listings of pari
time, full lime, domestic, and
professional careers.

As seniors make their final
choices about what they wani
to accomplish after college, it
is quite beneficial to take ad-
vantage of what Oglethorpe
has to offer as a source of aid.
The Career Planning and
Placement Department was
set up to help the students, and
it has been overwhelmingly
successful. It definitely beats
reading just the classified in
the newspaper and praying for
the know how to get the job.

Memories

It is May of 1991 and
graduation is on the horizon
for seniors at Oglethorpe.
Many students have found
jobs, some are preparing to
travel to various parts of the
world, and others are just
ready to take a break. Even
though every student is
about to embark upon their
path of life, there is one
thing that every person
thinks about before he grad-
uates. Where has all the
time gone?

It seems like only yesterday
we were freshmen. Everything
was new and exciting, and
nothing in the world could stop
us from going out and experi-
encing life and its" adventures.
There were early morning
classes to attend, there was the
dreaded Freshman Seminar,
and of course there were peo-
ple to meet.

It takes a lot of determina-
tion and motivation to make it
through college. Everyone en-
tered college with some idea of

what they wanted to do with
their life. Students had to dis-
cipline themselves enough to
go to classes and learn.

Then there was the social
side to college. There were
dances, parties, and various
festivals to go to. The variety
of social activities available to
students gave them opportuni-
ties to meet other people and
to form meaningful groups of
friends. As everyone knows,
college is not just academics,
it is a total life experience.

The four years of college go
by so quickly. One minute stu-
dents are anxious eighteen
year olds, and with a blink oi'
the eye. they are graduating
seniors. There is a lot to be said
about college. The college en-
vironment teaches students
how to attain knowledge, but
it also teaches students alot
about life

Gosh, where did all the time
go?

The Terror of Tests

B\ the time a person gets to
college, he should be over his
fear of examinations,
shouldn't he? Yeah, right,
u hatever. It seems that the es-
sa> question, the word prob-
lem, and the oral section still
u reak havoc with the sanit\ of
many students. Some claim to
be stricken with all sorts of
paranoia within a day or two

of a test. Others claim to be
perfectly calm the morning of
an exam. (They say this as
they down a fourth cup of cof-
fee.')

Study techniques vary from
the nauseating organized dai-
1\ study session to a frantic
midnight rap at Denny's the
night before. Of course,
staying up so late that you fall

asleep during the test seems to tests scriousls. these methods,

be missing the point. Also, if applied with some degree of

whether or not the "the more effort, can work to cure test

1 slud> the worse 1 do" philos- anxiety. However, when ques-

ophs holds up is still a matter tioned about their attitudes lo-

of debate. .Anyway, the preva-
lent idea is to "do whatever
works for you, as long as you
wait until the day before the
test."

Since most students do take

ward tests, most students re-
plied. "1 don't want to talk
about it."

Pet Peeves

What exactly is a pet peeve?
No, it's not the little thing
your dog does on the carpet. It
simply is one of those annoy-
ing little facts of life that ev-
eryone gripes about, but no
one has the energy or motiva-
tion to change. The obnoxious
screeching noise that the ice
cream machine sometimes
makes would be an example,
as would the large number of
insects and rodents who love
dorm life. Some students wor-
ry about losing either their
breakfast or exhaust pipe on
the "Scream-Machine" speed
bumps around campus.
Others complain of not being

rooms.

Students also had "people
pet peeves" people whose
music shows up on the Richter
scale, teachers with really bad
accents, door-to-door ped-
dlers, and roommates who
leave underwear all over the
place. And why does some-
one have to knock down the
lightpost en route to the Stu-
dent Center? Some of these
things may seem petty, but pet
peeves are supposed to be tri-
fling. Besides, picky people
pick paltry, petty pet peeves.

Where was the best place to

he Quad of course.

It was once known as the
'Guy's Quad"; however, that
name has become obsolete as
^irls have moved into Schmidt
ind Trustee Dorms. Despite
;he name change, the Quad
nas remained one of the most
sopular places on campus.

In the Fall, footballs can be

lir. "It's great to go out and
play around, especially on Fri-
day afternoons." explained
Zack Butler.

As the sun sets, students

gather about the darkening
Quad, planning the night's ac-
tivities. The throbbing stereos
add to the energy in the air.
"You can always find people
in Tom McGuigan and Jamey
King's room," said Kellie
Simms.

Although the Quad is not as
populated during the cold win-
ter months, the warm spring
weather brings students back
out. Students lounge about,
trying to build a tan in prepa-
ration for Spring Break.
"Tennis ball" the basketball
players' never-ending game
also dominates the Quad.

Go to class or sleep late? Decisions, Decisions!

Every weekday morning a
momentous decision confronts
each Oglethorpe student: Do
I get up and go to class today
or sleep late and suffer the
consequences'? Of course, ev-
erybody knows that class at-
tendance is vitally important,
but the old mattress requires
nothing of us. Going to class
means listening to lectures.

taking notes, being called on,
and sometimes struggling
through a pop quiz. For some
reason, the clock just looks a
lot better when the hour is in
double digits.

Many of us lie in bed unde-
cided for a while, weighing the
possibilities. To lie or to learn
which will it be? We may
fall asleep trying to decide;

then the big question is an-
swered for us. Sometimes our
consciences force us to get up;
however, and we rush to get
ready because we've wasted so
much time deciding. After
hurrying to class, we often
spend the whole time fighting
to stay awake and wonder
what use it was to come.
Hopefully, the professor no-

tices and all of our trouble
earns us a few brownie points
at least.

Most of us manage to get
ourselves to class when we re-
ally need to be. so we deserve
a day off every now and then.
If our grades are good, why
shouldn't we be allowed to
take it easy sometimes?

Dorm Sweet Dorm

Everyone knows that no
dorm is Better Homes and

times we hope that things will
be better than we expect them
to be.

Creative people learn to
make the most of their dorm
rooms. Pictures and posters
liven up a dreary dorm consid-
erably. A new paint job can
make a huge difference too.
Sofas and bean bag chairs add
to the dorm's comfort and
make it more like home.

Deprived of a kitchen, many

students at Oglethorpe invest
in microwaves for the extra
nourishment college students
need. Coffee makers help, too.
Some people can't function
without their caffeine.

Like it or not, the dorm is
home for most of us from
August to May. Yet with a lit-
tle work and creativity, we can
make it "Dorm Sweet Dorm."

Roommate Relations

Despite the fact that some
roommates refuse to go to bed
before 4:00 a. m., use your
toothpaste, and leave empty
ravioli cups sitting around,
they can, with a little training,
become your closest friends.
j Of course, everything is not
jail bliss, especially when four
people need to take a shower
before 8:30 a. m. Roommates
have a knack for finding your
pet peeves: changing the chan-
nel during a soap, leaving the
stereo on all the time, and bor-
rowing stuff until your room
looks empty.

Let's not forget, though.

that every now and then a
roommate knows the answer
to your Genetics question, or
might take time to help you
practice Spanish verbs.

So even if your roommate
wears all your clothes, plays
country music, or has strange
people over at all hours, you
somehow manage to get along,
even if only in a you-don"t-
bug-me-I-don't-bug-you situ-
ation. Some people may even
try to bug each other, but
aren't there enough bugs (and
ants, and spiders ... ) in the
dorm?

Getting Ready. Bathroom-hogging
can strain roommate relations, as Zoe
Lombard demonstrates.

Laundry Time. Sloppy roommates
can be hard to live with. "Why don't

Adjusting to Oglethorpe

With each new semester,
new students arrive through
the gates of Oglethorpe. Al-
though the transition is fairly
easy for most, there are some
adjustments that incoming
students must make.

Entering freshmen have
more new things to adapt to
than transfer students do.
They must learn how to deal
with the temptations of college
life and how to manage their

time to allow for some study-
ing between social engage-
ments. Freshmen find an
abundance of people to meet,
roommates to learn to get
along with, and professors to
try to please. Acquiring a
taste for O. U. food is yet an-
other required change for a
new student's survival. Many
people find that there's no oth-
er food quite like it.

Transfer students have an

advantage because they ha\
already been exposed to co
lege life, and many aspects (
college are universal. Howei
er, Oglethorpe has som
unique qualities which no or
can know until they come t
school here.

New students quickly se
that the Oglethorpe campus
a friendly place, and the sti
dents are very willing to facil
tate their adjustment.

Major Decisions

Deciding what field to ma-
jor in is one of the most impor-
tant choices a college student
must make. Majors determine
careers, which can dictate a
graduate's lifestyle. Ogle-
thorpe's liberal arts curricu-
lum offers a variety of possible
majors, and therefore attracts
a diverse student body. Eve-
rybody from Science majors to
Philosophy majors can find
others to identify with on the
O. U. campus.

For those students who are
undecided, their options are
many. The core classes Ogle-

thorpe requires them to take
help students to explore differ-
ent subjects. A particularly
enthusiastic professor can in-
spire a student to declare that
subject as his or her major.
Students frequently surprise
themselves when a dreaded
class becomes their favorite
subject.

Changes of major are not
rare at Oglethorpe. People
who have always thought that
they wanted to be teachers
may become disenchanted
with education and decide
that they'd rather study eco-

nomics. This flexibility can be
comforting sometimes, but it's
imperative to make the con-
version before too many hours
are lost. Few people can af-
ford to make a career of col-
lege.

Whether you choose Eng-
lish, business, or chemistry as
your major, the world needs
well-educated people in all
professions. The most impor-
tant thing to do is find some-
thing you enjoy doing and just
get to work!

Determination. Michelle Fowler is
content with her major and doesn't
mind working hard.

Frustration. Kim Kirner contem-
plates a change of majors.

Major Decisions 129

Changes

Each day of an Oglethor-
pian's life he is different from
the day before. Changes are
constantly occurring within
and without college students.
School can change a student
significantly. He enters with a
certain mentality and prospec-
tive goals for his life, and by
the time graduation arrives, he
may have made a complete
turnaround. But that's what
college is for.

One effect of attending col-
lege is that students become
much more frugal with
money. When mom and dad
pay, things are very different

from when the student foots
the bill. A college student
wouldn't consider buying ge-
neric things or Cost Cutter
brands if it is somebody else's
money, but when it's his, he
wouldn't think of paying for
anything more. Experiencing
poverty at college teaches stu-
dents to manage their money
better.

The independence college
requires changes students too.
They now have the freedom to
struggle with beliefs they've
always accepted and decide
if they're really valid. Do
babies really come from the

stork? What does the Tooth
Fairy do with all of your
teeth? These are some pro-
found mysteries a student can
uncover when he has the free-
dom to make own deductions
about the world.

Maturing is one of the most
important transformations
people undergo at college.
Students enter Oglethorpe as
silly little underclassmen, but
they're expected to be mature
adults when they graduate.
This is one of the more diffi-
cult changes of life, and some
people have to stay in school
longer than others to accom-

plish this one. Eventually it
does happen though.

If people are to grow, they
must make and accept
changes. College is a place
where many momentous and
necessary changes occur. Al-
though the time at Oglethorpe
lasts just four short years, the
changes that take place during
that time are many. When stm
dents leave O. U. with degrees
in hand they're very different
people from when they ar-
rived, but they will still contin-
ue to change. Change never
ends.

Campus Changes. Improvements
like volleyball courts are introduced to
attract students to the dorms.

A New Job. Away from home, fresh-
man Cameron Bready must learn the
ropes of the laundry room.

Living in Atlanta

For man\ students, one of
the reasons for coming to
Oglethorpe is its close proxim-
ity to Atlanta, one of the up-
and-coming cultural hubs. In
spare time, perhaps on the
weekends, there's plenty to do.
For instance, if art is a per-
son's amour, he might want to
visit the High Museum in
downtown Atlanta. Many
prominent artists come to the
High with their newest exhib-
its.

The outdoorsy type student
would probably enjoy Pied-
mont Park. It's a fun place to
throw frisbees or footballs or

to just walk around. While
outside, the .Atlanta Zoo is a
good place to go. It's a lot of
fun, and they have great sou-
venir cups.

To get a real taste of Atlan-
ta though. Underground At-
lanta is a must. The "town
center" has over 100 specialty
stores, a food court, and 22
restaurants and nightclubs. At
Underground, Heritage Row
is an interesting place devoted
to the history of Atlanta. Also
nearby is the four story World
of Coca-Cola with the world's
largest collection of Coca-
Cola memorabilia. If people

don't enjoy themselves at Un-
derground, the\"re either no
fun whatsoever or they hail
from Edmington. (If you don't
know what's there, ask a Ca-
nuck!)

For those who enjos the
bars or restaurants at Under-
ground, Buckhead, which is
right up Peachtree Street from
school, is a fun place. In Buck-
head, there is a wide diversity
of night-life hot spots.

If the Omni is too far or too
expensive, there's plenty of
good local bands that play in
and around Atlanta. The Cot-
ton Club and The Chamelion

Club usually have good bands
for a nominal cover charge.
Creative Loafing is always a
good reference to check for the
best bands performing any-
time.

While living in .Atlanta,
Oglethorpe students should
never be wanting for things to
do. The city is always bustling
with activity and entertain-
ment. So students ought to
take the time to get off campus
and enjoy what Atlanta has to
offer.

Night Life. With the setting sun. At-
lanta changes from a thriving business
center to a energetic night spot. Both
aspects of the city are responsible for
attracting students to Oglethorpe.

tional club decided to go out. .Alev Oz-

Petrel Personality

When surveying the stu-
dents of Oglethorpe Univer-
sity, one characteristic stands
out: diversity. Although our
school is small, we have a very
varied student body. From
geeks to Greeks, we have a lit-
tle bit of everything, and the
combination of all of these
make up O. U.'s Petrel Per-
sonality.

One contributing factor to
the variety of students at
Oglethorpe is the man\ differ-
ent cities, states, and countries
from which we originate.
There are students here from
all over the United States and
all over the globe, which fact
in itself distinguishes some Pe-
trels from the others. Despite
the realit> that a substantial
percentage of Oglethorpe's
enrollment is made up of stu-
dents from metropolitan .At-
lanta, this common factor is

about the only thing that asso-
ciates them. Atlantan"s cer-
tainly can't be stereotyped.
People from Sandy Springs
have a different perspective
from students from Lilburn.

The assortment of interests
we find at Oglethorpe is an-
other component of the diver-
sity we enjoy. Some students
seem to live in the library,
while w e wonder if some
others ever crack a book.
Some Petrels are very environ-
mentally conscious, and some
are service-oriented. Some
folks do nothing but party.

The individuality among
Oglethorpe's enrollment
makes our campus an interest-
ing place. However different
we may be. we're all part of
the Petrel Personality. "It
takes all kinds" they say, and
if that's true, we've surely got
it.

The Real Thing. Kent Anderson por-
trays the petrel in its true form. Dur-
ing every home basketball game, he
cheers on the team as the school's
mascot "Petev".

Friendly Folks. The annual Fall Jam
brings many students to Traer Dorm
to eat. play volleyball and socialize.
Brandon Powell. Kmi Walls, Tina
Hans, Tracey Rodgers. Elizabeth Pat-
rick, and David Neuberry take a
break from the festivities to catch up

Sharing. The Trick Or Treat m Traer
never fails to bring out the generous
side m the residents of Traer Hall. Ev-
ery Halloween, students, like Sheila
Grice, sit at their doors, and hand out
candy to local children.

Bookworm. Many students find that
they spend hours in the library. John
Morris settles in and quickly becomes
absorbed in his books.

Petrel Personality 135

Eating Out

Although the cafeteria pro-
vides students with sumptuous
meals every day of the week,
sometimes they feel adventur-
ous and dine out.

Where do they go? For
those Oglethorpians who en-
joy Italian food, Azio's in
Buckhead is a popular spot.
The restaurant overlooks
much of Buckhead, and the
food is great. Another great
Italian eatery is the Spaghetti
Factory located downtown. It
looks like a factory on the out-
side but the inside is quite ele-
gant with an old trolley car in
the middle of the restaurant.
At the Spaghetti Factory, a
delicious meal is about $5.00.

For good pizza, many peo-

ple go to either Fellini's or the
Mellow Mushroom, both lo-
cated in Buckhead. At both
places, the pizza is excellent
and not expensive.

For those that love spicy
foods, the Mexican Two Pesos
restaurant is a popular place.
The food is cheap but good. In
addition. Two Pesos is home to
the Monster Margeurita. The
many El Toro's around town
also offer excellent Mexican
food at very reasonable prices.

If they want a bit more am-
bience with their chicken
chimichanga, they might opt
to dine at Rio Bravo. Rio Bra-
vo has moderately priced
Mexican cuisine and is located
in the heart of Buckhead.

The King and I, located
only two miles away has be-
come known throughout At-
lanta for its Chinese and Thai
food. Many students frequent
there so often that the owner
knows them by name.

Alas though, some people
are die-hard fast-fooders.
Those who fit into this catego-
ry have probably been down-
town to the Varsity. The Var-
sity offers greasy but delicious
fries and burgers and boasts
about being one of the original
fast food establishments.

If fine dining is an Ogle-
thorpians' pleasure, and he or
she has plenty of cash, he or
she probably enjoys the Bar-
ber Shop, located right down

Peachtree Road. The Barber
Shop has delicious steaks that
customers can cook them-
selves. If people want to go all
out, Dante's Down the Hatch
is probably their best bet.
While Dante's is expensive,
the fondue cooking is beyond
compare.

Whatever a student's plea-
sure, there is bound to be a
place to satisfy his or her pal-
ate. So when the monthly
check from the parents comes
in, students should give Ser-
vice America (and them-
selves) a break and eat out, if
they can choose between the
many restaurants.

The Legend. Home of the Frozen Or-
ange, the Varsity's greasy food has be-

come famous. Robbie Moore and
Mike Jones enjoy it so much that they

are willing to drive twenty-five min-
utes for a Varsity lunch.

Behind The Scenes

Did you ever stop in the
niddle of the academic quad
r the coed quad and just take
I look around you? If you
lave. I bet you noticed just
low beautiful the campus at
bglethorpe really is.

Besides the Old English
jtyle architecture and the air
tf history that surrounds the
iniversity, there is a lot more
the aesthetics than meets
,he eye. All of the buildings
ire clean, well kept, and are
'ree from any major deteriora-
ion. The grounds are free of
itter, the grass is a vibrant
.hade of green, and the par-
cing lots and roads contain no
Tiajor obstacles to deal with.

One may ask who is respon-
;ible for keeping Oglethorpe
;o lovely? It is not the faculty;

it is not the admissions coun-
selor; it is the maintenance
staff. Often the members of
the maintenance crew go un-
recognized as being major
contributors to the beauty of
the environment that
surrounds the campus. At the
crack of dawn, five days a
week, the maintenance crew is
out cleaning up trash, taking
care of maintenance prob-
lems, and keeping up with
weekly housekeeping duties.
This is an important job that
many people take for granted.

So next time you notice how
nicely trimmed that big oak
tree next to Hearst Hall is.
think about the people behind
the scenes that take care of the
grounds at Oglethorpe.

Another group of people

employed by Oglethorpe that
goes unappreciated at times is
the Service America Staff.
Employees of Service Amer-
ica are dedicated to keeping
the students of Oglethorpe
University well fed every day.
Three times a day there has to
be a nutritious meal prepared
for students to consume.
Many people criticize the
menu, but what they don't re-
alize is that a lot of thought
goes into the weekly choices of
entrees. It is often hard to feed
such a large quantity of people
three times a day. But the staff
members who work in the caf-
eteria get things done, despite
what people say. Service
America is constantly consid-
ering student suggestions, and
they try to come up with

theme meals to add a little va-
riety to things.

In essence, the Service
America staff is very impor-
tant to Oglethorpe. Over the
last few years, the service has
gotten more efficient, and the
food has gotten better. Some
people don't appreciate that.
There's a lot more to keeping
a student's belly full than what
one might think. So. next time
you enter the cafeteria, don't
complain about the lunch spe-
cial, just be glad that the Ser-
vice America staff is there to
take care of you. Its a lot bet-
ter than having to drive to the
store, get food, and heat it up
in a microwave, now isn't it?

Welcoming All. Larry Miller, a Ser-
vice America employee, says hello and
asks for a student I. D. from all who
enter the cafeteria.

Behind The Scenes 141

The Ideal Professor

Different types of students
have different views of what
the ideal professor is like. The
more studious student enjoys
the demands of a difficult pro-
fessor. Numerous chapters of
reading and novel-length term
papers don't bother this type
of student. He is an.xious to
learn, even if it means that he
must endure some degree of
mental anguish in the process.
A challenging professor is the
best possible kind for such in-
tellectuals.

On the other hand, the fun-
loving student, for whom
learning is just a coincidence
(if it happens at all), cringes
at the thought of being en-
rolled in a tough professor's
class. He avoids the demand-
ing professors with great de-
termination, taking Saturday
classes if he has to. The more
human professor appeals to
students of this philosophy. A
good sense of humor and a laid
back perspective on life are
characteristics of the less en-

thusiastic learner's ideal pro-
fessor.

Oglethorpe has an abun^
dance of good professors, some
no nonsense ones who the stu-
dious seek while the party peO'
pie avoid, and others whose'
classes are so entertaining thai
would-be class cutters even at-
tend. With each class a stu-
dent takes, he discovers more
of what he likes in a professoi
and what he doesn't like quite
so much. Everybody lives and
learns.

Lining them up. Dr Picciotto. one of
Oglethorpe's most popular professors,
has a crowd waiting to see her.

Eager to help. Dr Blumenthal. Cal-
culus professor, encourages frustrated
students to visit his office if personal-
ized instruction is needed.

The Emperors of Economics. While
Dr. Hetherington and Dr. Shropshire
offer different approaches to the study
of economics, both are well-
liked by students for their ability to
enliven class.

What should I take? Dr Kathy
Coers, a philosophy professor, is fre-
quently confronlcd with this question
from advisees. Paul Kane can't decide
if he should take the Plato course after
spending some much time studying
that philosopher in his Aesthetics
course.

Lending a hand. Dr. Shropshire well
understands the difficulties involved
in trying to arrange class schedules.
Hence, he offers his assistance and
recommendations to one of his favor-
ite business/behavioral science advi-
sees, Gabrielle Galvin.

Advising Students

Okay, it's not one of the
more glamourous aspects of
professorship, but advising
students is a pivotal process
in the college experience.
Students, with the aid of ad-
visors, must decide what to
major in, what classes to
take, and what career field
they would eventually like
to have.

Dr. Kathy Coers advises
mainly philosophy majors,
with a sprinkling of psychol-
ogy majors. Dr. Coers says
that advising is "sometimes
a mechanical matter, and
sometimes a lengthy pro-
cess." Some students are
well aware of which classes
they want, and Dr. Coers
usually lets them go, if their
direction is right. Dr. Coers

says that she tries to assess the
personalities of her students to
determine which courses
would be best suited to them.
Over in the Economics and
Business Department, Dr.
William Shropshire does a lot
of student advising. Although
Dr. Shropshire has over 25 ad-
visees, he finds that most stu-
dents only come in at preregis-
tration lime. According to
Shropshire, few students come
to Oglethorpe with a business
major, but many change ma-
jors to business, especially
former Biology/Pre-Med stu-
dents. When asked if he has
ever counselled students to
change majors, Shropshire re-
plied affirmatively. "Students
sometimes major in business
because they think they ought

to in order to get a job," ex-
plains Shropshire. "Unfortu-
nately, they end up disliking it
or doing poorly." In these
cases, he suggests a change of
major. Dr. Shropshire also
mentioned thai only two or
three of his advisees each year
go on to graduate school di-
rectly after college. Most busi-
ness majors get a job after col-
lege and go to graduate school
later.

Overall, student opinion
about the helpfulness of advi-
sors is favorable. Catlin Way,
who is a Political Studies ma-
jor, is advised by Dr. Joseph
Knippenberg. Catlin raved
that Dr. Knippenberg "has
been an incredible help with
making career decisions," and
that "he always has sugges-

tions to make and has his eyes
and ears open for opportuni-
ties for his students." Catlin
changed majors from Interna-
tional Studies to Political
Studies upon the advice of Dr.
Knippenberg. Jennifer
Crouse, whose advisor is Dr.
Linda Taylor, has an individu-
ally planned writing major,
which causes her to have to do
internships and take classes at
Emory. During her internsh-
ips. Dr. Taylor took the time
to meet with Jennifer every
other week to offer advice.
Jennifer insists that Dr. Tay-
lor is "always concerned and
careful to help you make the
decision you want to make."
And that is precisely the pur-
pose of advising students!

soccer and tennis programs at

from LaGrange. Volleyball and
track had winning seasons, with
many new school records in both.

Next year, Oglethorpe ath-
letics will continue to grow with
the advent of a girl's basketball
team, coached by Brenda Hill-

by Steve Myer. With these new-

New Goals , , ,

The Stormy Petrel Soccer
squad put together a great sea-
son, despite what could have
been hampering obstacles.
First and foremost, the team
transition of working under a
new coach could have caused
problems in terms of playing
style and key plays. Although
it takes players time to adjust,
this year's squad adapted
quite well to the leadership of
Coach Brett Teach. His style
of coaching proved successful
because even though they end-
ed the season with a 4-11-2 re-
cord, they finished the season
with a first place champion-
ship in the Dekalb County
Tournament. Injury after in-
jury of broken toes, torn liga-
ments, and knee injuries kept
the players away from quality
playing/practice time. "Even
though injuries affected our
team," said Coach Brett
Teach, "we are very pleased
with their attitude and work
ethic."

There were only about half
of the returning players on the
squad, but with such a good
recruiting system, they had
hoped to have a winning sea-
son.

"\ want to pla> all my lite."
proclaimed midfield Samson
Desta. This was his second
year playing for the Petrels,
but he has been playing ever
since elementary school. He
started out this year playing
center, then half, and by the
end of the season, he was
playing stopper. "Next year. I
want to play any position, just
as long as I get on the field and
see some action. 1 would like
to get a feel for everything."

This year has been quite
eventful for Desta. He im-
proved 50% and has become
more aggressive and a team
leader. While playing defense
for the first time, he was asked
to do a lot of different things,
but he responded well and
strongly. He made the transi-
tion from offense to having a
bigger role for defensiveness.
Samson, while playing, ac-
quired two surprises: a broken
toe and the honor of being
named the Most Valuable
Player. "It wasn't that Sam-
son was a poor player, who de-
veloped into and average play-
er: he was a solid role player
who developed into an impact
player. The latter is more dif-
ficult," commented Coach
Teach.

Samson would like to thank
Coach Teach for bringing the
new program and his style of
positive teaching to Ogle-
thorpe. Samson and his coach
have a close relationship, and
he feels that he played better
because of the fact that he
considers Teach his friend as
well as his coach.

The Lady Petrel Volleyball
squad stormed its way to its
fifth consecutive twenty win
season. The crew finished the
regular season 25- 1 3, with big
wins over the University of the
South, Covenant and Emory.
The victory over the Univer-
sity of the South was particu-
larly satisfying as the ladies
rebounded from a 14-9 deficit
in the third game to win the
match 17-15 and sweep the fu-
ture CAC foe.

The annual Phoenix Cup
Tournament marked the sea-
son finale for the squad. The
tournament was held at Spel-
man College and included
Flagler, Wesleyan, La
Grange, Spelman and Ogle-
thorpe. At the conclusion of
round robin play, Flagler and
Oglethorpe were first and sec-
ond respectively. In the cham-
pionship match, the Lady Pe-
trels fought extremely hard
but finally could not contain
the powerful Flagler attack.

"The ladies played their
hearts out, even more than
they've done all year," said
Head Coach Jim Owen. "It
would be nice to end the sea-
son with a win, but our girls
played hard enough to deserve
a victory." The Lady Petrels
were led offensively this sea-
son by senior Sami Bashlor,
who finished third in the na-
tion with 4.6 kills per game.
She was also named the team's
co-MVP, along with Jennifer
Marine. Marine set an OU re-
cord with a 96% career serving
mark. In addition, she was
named to the GTE Academic

All-South Team. The final se-
nior, Wendy Smith, served as
co-captain on the team and
was second on the team in
blocks. She was also nomi-
nated for the GTE Academic
All-South. Smith also picked
up the Coach's Award. Junior
Tracy Larson, finished ninth
in the nation in defensive digs
with 4.7 per game. She led the
team in service aces with 56,
and was named the "Stormiest
Lady Petrel." Jill Reiss was
named Freshman of the Year.
She started every position, and
earned a .352 assist percent-
age.

This season marked the fi-
nal season for Jim Owen as
head volleyball coach. He has
been named Associate Head
Coach of the mens' basketball
team. In his six years at the
helm, he guided the Lady Pe-
trels to a 136-39 record.
Brenda Hillman will coach the
squad next year.

Sami Bashlor completed her
second and final year with the
Lady Petrels this season having led
them to exactly 50 wins and only
19 losses. After transferring in as
a junior. Sami has certainly left
her mark on the program. In just
two seasons, Sami moved into sec-
ond place on both the All Time
"Kill" list and for blocks. Sami fin-
ished third in the nation in kills per
game at 4. 6. This season Sami led
the offensive attack from her out-
side position. "She was the player
we went to to put the ball into the
floor for us," comments Coach Jim
Owen. "Sami forced the opponents
to double block her and focus their
entire defense on her, and then she
would beat them. The overwhelm-
ing attention placed on her by the
opponents created many oppor-
tunities for her teammates to step
up and find the holes in the defense
and really put pressure on oppos-
ing defenses."

"I was very pleased to be a part
of the program, which was in a
transitional period. It was a very
rewarding experience to be a part
of this growing program. 1 can
honestly say that taking part has
contributed to the strong affilia-

Yo! Coach! For the past two years
Coach Bob Unger has been quite suc-
cessful with both teams and is eager
for the next season to start. "It was en-
joyable working with the runners. We
had a number of highlights through-
out the season."

SPOTLIGHT

A special award is given each
year to the runner, or runners,
in this case, with the most team
spirit, enthusiasm, diligence,
and sportsmanship. The recipi-
ents of the "Mother Carey's
Chicken Award" were Jon Per-
ry and Maria Moore. No doubt
these two athletes were truly de-
serving.

Jon has been an avid runner
for about ten years now.
Never missing a single
match, except for his senior year
when his knee "gave out" re-
flects how dedicated he is. "I've
got heart- I've never been ob-
noxious- I've never quit." Jon
strongly feels that running is
based on development: mentally
and physically. Your body and
mind must coincide with each
other if you expect to reach your
full potential. He considers his
award as an honor, since he's re-
ceived it three of four years here
at Oglethorpe. "It says quite a
bit about the team effort and to-
getherness in such an individu-
alistic sport."

In just her second season of
athletics here, Maria has set
and achieved her goal. Early
last fall she began to run just as
a hobby and decided she would
like to further her running. The
most enjoyable aspect of being
on the team was the overall
sportsmanship of the other
members, and going to the
meets were also a lot of fun for
her. When asked about the
award, she replied "I was sur-
prised. It was a really nice
honor." Maria plans to keep
running after she graduates be-
cause it's a great way to keep in
shape, and she loves it!

Soccer Daze I

The 1990 season marked
the second year at Oglethorpe
for intercollegiate soccer com-
petition in the women's divi-
sion. The program, just re-
cently brought up from the
club level, showed signs of suc-
cess, but their winning spree at
the beginning oi' the season (3
straight wins) was marred by
several team player injuries.
For instance, Becky Marasia,
senior team captain, was out
for a majority of the season
due to a knee injury compli-
cated by ligament problems.
Jennifer Amerson, also a
senior team captain and the
Petrels highest scorer, fiuclua-
ted in and out of playing time
with her injury.

Even though injuries hin-
dered the teams" performance,
due to the fact that the players
were constantly being shifted
around to fill the open posi-
tions (usually ones that they
had never played before).

However, it didn't disrupt any
of the teammates attitudes.
They continued practicing
and repacing the injured
players' positions. It was a
team effort with everybody
working toward the same goal.
This season was the first under
the guidance of Coach Brett
Teach but the second playing
in the NCAA Division III. He
had hoped for a successful
"winning" season with the Pe-
trels, but settled for a "com-
petitive" one, defeating Wes-
leyan College once, Agnes
Scott and La Grange College
twice. The season ended with
a 5-8 record. The Most Valu-
able Player award went to Jen-
nifer Amerson, who scored 1 5
goals, even though she was in-
jured for a good part of the
season. Vicky Perterria, soph-
omore co-captain, received the
Coach's Award for her out-
standing performance in the
defensive backfield.

Nutmeg. Killian Edwards, who

positions, kicks the ball back into play.
Even though she was injured, she still

played with 70'>r torn ligaments.

Carol Payne is a sports fan-
atic. She's played six different
sports all together, but soccer
has been the sport she enjoyed
most. Even though she's played
sports all her life (soccer since
she was 8), she has never played
defense until this year, which
was a big change because offen-
sive positions require one to be
small and fast, which she is. A
defensive player is usually more
aggressive and not afraid to
make contact. She's still "a bit
baffled" as to why Coach Teach
switched her over to defense.
During the season, she was swit-
ched around from the forward
offensive wing to midfield and
eventually to full-back. "The
team as a whole changed a lot
because we lost some players;
therefore, we had to shift posi-
tions and were playing tough
teams. We ended up concentrat-
ing more on the defensive end
rather than the offensive end, ie:
scoring," stated Carol when
asked about how she felt about
the 1990 season. Coach Brett
Teach feels that "Carol Payne is
one of the hardest working
players I ever coached. She
thrives on competition and has a
sincere love for the game of soc-
cer. She was a creative and ener-
getic player who will be very suc-
cessful in her future endeavors."
Despite the fact that she'll be
graduating, which is a plus, she's
sad that she won't be able to im-
prove with the team as she gets
better and better. Carol would
also like to add, "I'm also sad
that I won't be able to get Mike
Mitchells' pants all the way
down to his ankles!!"

CH'CH'CH'Changes

Once again spring rolled
around with the flowers still
blooming, the trees sprouting,
and the birds continually chir-
ping. Nothing this spring
seemed out of the ordinary
with the exception of several
new changes in the spring sea-
son's soccer team.

Several new renovations
made a mark on the soccer
season. Topping the list was
the establishment of a new
coaching staff with Mr. Brett
Teach who had formerly
taught at La Grange College.
Another change was the num-
ber of games that the Stormy

cally explains to Zoe Hughes that the
soccer ball and their uniforms really

Petrels would play; they were
cut from 1 5 to 1 3. One change
that could not be controlled
was the number of injuries
that the squad encountered.
Because of the problem with
injuries, the players had to be
shifted around a lot. However,
with all these changes, the
team never lost sight of their
goal and that was to end the
season successfully.

"Our success will be deter-

the tempo of the game. Our
strength however." added
Berkshire, "has been in our
half-court offense and im-
proved defense. Those areas
must stay strong for us to have
a successful season," com-
mented Head Basketball
Coach Jack Berkshire at the
beginning of the season. The
Petrels stormed the season to
end up 17-8, an outstanding
record with numerous awards
won and basketball stars born.

Oglethorpe's tradition of
being both very strong aca-
demicalh and athleticall> has
paid off. This concept has
helped to lead them to an out-
standing season. The Stormy
Petrels have accepted an invi-
tation to join the College Ath-
letic Conference of NCAA
Division III. They will join
with the prestigious ranks of
University of the South and
Centre College as they begin
to play in the conference in the
1991-92 season. As a result of
Berkshires" dedication and
disciplinary attitude, he (with
the help of associate Coach
Jim Owen) successfully
coached the Petrels to a #8
NCAA Division III ranking.

This was a prodigious achieve-
ment for the team; unfortu-
nately, it wasn't a high enough
ranking for a tournament spot.
This \ears' team consisted o{
five top players from last
years' squad which created the
background necessary for a
solid team.

As a whole, the team ac-
complished a lot this season,
under the guidance, hard
work, and dedication of Jack
Berkshire, head coach, and
Associate Coach Jim Owen.
The teams" enthusiasm was
evident on and off the court,
and they seemed to have eve-
r\ thing in synch. Their success
depended on a "team effort"
with each player contributing
to the effort. Everyone coun-
ted on everybody else to do
their job. "I'm proud that wc
have reached that mark," said
Berkshire, "and I appreciate
the efforts of all the players
and assistant coaches in this
accomplishment."

Spotlight

The quid giant, in the #44 jersey,
has seemingly gone unnoticed during
much of his career here at Oglethorpe.
Senior Geoff Spiess uneventfullv
played his style of "blue-collar"' basket-
ball with intense determination. Spiess
has been in the shadow of much more
heralded players in each of his four
years. As a freshman, he played with
the likes of .Alan Royalty, yvho twice re-
ceived Academic-All-American Hon-
ors and garnered much attention with
his perimeter shot. During his sopho-
more year, he teamed with Ogle-
thorpe's first ever "All-South" player,
Steve Thompson, w ho gathered a lot of
media coverage with his high scoring
outbursts.

Spiess is now finishing his career
with Kerry Evert, who is gaining the
majority of the spotlight, with his
llashy performances. Evert, with his
speed and full court heroics, crossed the
1 .000 pt. barrier earlier this year. Evert
has received quite a bit of media atten-
tion with his accomplishments. Spiess,
on the other hand, with a work-man
like attitude, has more unceremonious-
ly entered the 1,000 pt. club. Along
with surpassing the 1,000 pt. barrier
for his career, Geoff has also entered
the Top Ten All Time rebounding list
yvith nearly 500 rebounds. Geoff will
also graduate with the third highest all
time Field Goal Percentage completely
connecting on over 55'7r of his field
goals.

Geoffs play hasn't gone completely
unnoticed. He was voted as the Most
Valuable Player at two tournaments
and made the All Tournament team at
three other tournaments during his
four year career. "His steady play, ex-
cellent attitude and solid contributions
on both ends of the court has been the
trademark that Geoff has brought to
our program." concluded Coach Jack
Berkshire.

Owen, Assistant Coach, has
shown, time and again, that he

To The

Top

As the basketball season
progressed, a group of athletes
grew in their involvement and
recognition around school. In
only three years, the cheer-
leaders had grown into a
twelve member co-ed squad,
led by a true coach.

The hiring of Allen Hark-
ness as cheerleading coach
sparked remarkable things for
the squad. A former college
cheerleader, he taught the
group new stunts, cheers, and
finally a routine like those
used in competitions. "He
helped a lot," explained Brett
Duncan. "Not only could he
tell us what to do, since he's so
talented, he can show us."

Come February, life began
to get hectic for the squad.
Among other things, they
found it difficult to find a
practice spot. They occasion-
ally even found themselves in
a student center conference
room. "It was quite embarras-

Cavender.

Despite the difficult prac-
tice environments, they were
prepared to do their part for
Oglethorpe Day, as this year's
theme was athletics. After
decorating the gym with signs
and hundreds of balloons, they
finished off the day's presenta-
tion with a routine to the
"Stormy Petrel March."

Homecoming was the cli-
max of the season. Once again,
the balloons came out in full
force as the cheerleaders and
OSA spent hours decorating
the campus with four hundred
balloons. At the first annual
pep rally, they performed their
long practiced routine to per-
fection. Finally, they finished
off the season with a rousing
game. "A homecoming game
with a great crowd was the
best possible way to end the
season," concluded senior
Misty Gonzales.

Through a very wet spring,
the Men's Tennis Team man-

though their record was 3-12,
Coach Mike Mitchell felt that
they accomplished a lot. "We
had a very tough schedule and
some key people injured, but
we established a team attitude
at the beginning of the year
which helped us make it
through the year." The atti-
tude that Coach Mitchell
spoke of was teamwork, and it
became a necessary aspect to
the team. Hal Royer, Robbie
Romeister, and Trug Vo con-
tributed from the beginning of
the season until the end, and
through their consistency they
established themselves as the
frame work of the team's spir-
it.

Before the start of the
spring season on February

28th, the members of the team
began their game preparation
in the fall. Dun Neugabauer,
who is one of the best pro
coaches in the state of Geor-
gia, intluenced much of the off
season training with his "on

The #1 singles and doubles
player, Ajay Chabria, was
rewarded as the Most Valu-
able Player by his coach Mike
Mitchell and by his team-
mates. Ajay held the #1 posi-
tion throughout the whole sea-
son. In Coach Mitchell's eyes:
"Tim Evans was the most im-
proved player. He improved
tremendously, turning into an
excellent player as well as a
teammate."

It. my attitude and consistency of
showing up was the reason I was
chosen to be spotlighted." said
Hal. One of the reasons for a lot
of the lackadaisical attitudes was
because of conflicts in work,
school, practice and game time.

"Despite the lack of team com-
mitment in the last couple of
years," said Hal. "I've enjoyed my

The 1991 tennis season was

of the major factors was be-
cause six out of the nine
players were freshman. But, as
the season progressed, so did
the girls" performances. Their
efforts and dedication to not
only winning but improving
their tennis skills improved
tremendously. The Lady Pe-

Beat The Clock!

There he is running again.
How does he have the endur-
ance to run those miles day af-
ter day? I could never do it.

While some people have the
stamina, others tend to put it
off. For the Men's Track
Team, their dedication paid
off with a successful season.
As the members of the squad
strived to "beat the clock,"
personal goals were achieved,
and the team's performance
on the whole improved.

During the season, the men
re-established school records
in the 100 meters and discus.
Stephen Summerow set rec-
ords in both the 100 meters
(10.7) and in the 200 meters
(22.4). The new discus record
was set by sophomore Marty
Adams; the new mark 155-2-
3/4.

The most valuable perform-
er for the men was Steve Sum-
merow, (featured in the Spot-
light). While the Coach's

Award went to freshman
Nathan Briesmeister, who
scored in three events after
only one week of practice in
his first meet: Morris Brown.
Briesemeister scored 60 points
on the season in dual meet
competition for an average of
1 2 points per meet (incidental-
ly, it takes 72 to win a meet.)
He produced the best per-
formance in the long jump, tri-
ple jump, and highjump;
against Davidson. In the Mor-
ris Brown meet, Kevin Keenan
took top honors in the field
events in both the high and low
hurdle races.

The men lost only to Wake
Forest enroute to a 4-1 dual
meet record beating VIorris
Brown (twice), Elon and Fort
Valley State.

Spotlight

Stephen Summerow has been a
member of the Men's Track Team for
only two years, but during that short
period of time, he accomplished an in-
comparable amount of feats. For in-
stance, he led the team with 62'/'2 points,
which meant that he averaged 10
points in each dual meet. Stephen, who
was the captain of the team, set the
school record for 200 meters with a
mark of 22.4 during the Morris Brown
meet. He almost set the longest long
jump on the squad, but on the last day
of competition, one of his teammates
out jumped him. Against Division 1
Davidson and ACC's Wake Forest,
Stephen placed 2nd in the 100 meters
and won the 200 meters. This year was
also Stephan's second in winning the
"Petrels of Fire" race held on O.U. day.

Coach Bob Lngcr indirectly in-
spired Stephen to become part of the
newly developed track team season, but
more directly it was his desire to partic-
ipate in any "active cardiovascular ac-
tivity" and a stifled playing time on the
basketball courts. His favorite event
was the 100 meters because it allowed
him to run fast for a short period of
time; no wonder he broke the record
and set his own (10.7). "I don't think
I could perform well on two or three
miles. I would probably get bored run-
ning around the track so many times."
commented Stephen. His motivational
force and inspiration this year
stemmed from the death of his cousin,
PFC Larry Turner Jr. who was like a
brother to him. ThcN grew up together
in Macon. Ga. Stephen dedicated the
whole season to him, and he was out to
"kick butt." Stephen's motto: "To win
as an individual is good, but to help
your team win is the best!!"

Pace Setting

Oglethorpe's Stormy Petrel
track teams have come a long
way from last year's inaugural
season. The women's team
ended the season with a dual
meet record of 5-0, with wins
over Morris Brown (twice),
Spellman, Elon and Fort Val-
ley State. In addition, the
women out pointed North
Georgia College in the season-
opening relay held at Ogle-
thorpe.

"In preparation for compe-
tition, practice was important
to keep our athletes in shape
for meets," said Coach Bob
Unger. Most track members
found motivation a necessary
quality to be successful. "You
have to be ready to come out
and try your hardest every-
day," commented Jean
Faasse. "You cannot improve
yourself without practicing
daily."

As far as the Women's
Track Team is concerned, rec-
ords were made to be broken.
They broke school records in

Over the Top. Tracy Rodgers easily
cleared the hurdles while running
(and breaking records) in the lOOM
hurdle race.

shot put; her mark was 28"2"
the javelin 1 15"; and the dis-
cus 90'3". The 1991 record for
the 5000 meters was set by
Trista Fisk, her time was
22:51. 55. Tracy Rodgers set
the new record in the lOOM
hurdles with a mark of 20. 5.
Rebecca Mitchell set the re-
cord for the 800 meters with
a time of 2:49. 5 1 . Jean Faasse
set four track records: 200
meters, 400 meters, high
jump, and the 400 meter
hurdles. The team of Trista
Fisk, Jean Faasse, Rebecca
Mitchell and Dawn Roberts
set the 1600M relay record for
the 1991 season.

The Coaches Award went to
Katrina Heath, who was the
only member of either squad
to score in each of the major
meets. She scored 66 points
for the women in dual meets
and set and broke her own rec-
ords for the discus, javelin and
shotput.

Jean Faasse,junior and star ath-
lete, set and accomplished many
goals during her second season of
running with the Stormy Petrels,
.lean not only reached for and suc-
cessfully attained her personal
goals, she also broke four school
track records. She reestablished
the record in the high jump
(4' 10"). 200 meters (27.69). 400
meters (60.27) and the 4001V1
hurdles (69.72). In addition to her
individually accomplished goals/
records, she also shares the triple
jump record with Dawn Roberts
and was a member of BOTH relay
squads which hold the school re-
cord in the 400M relay and the
1600M relay. Jean's average
amount of 1st placings at a meet
was four, which accounts for her
remarkable average of 20 points in
dual meets. The total number of
points that she earned was 1 18.

One might begin to wonder what
sort of motivational force was be-
hind Jean that compelled her to set
such high expectations for herself.
When confronted with a similar
question. Jean replied. "It's the
competition and seeing if I can
win." She also has a motto that she
sets her goals by: "The one who
wins is the one who thinks he can."

Jean, a native of New Jersey,
was introduced to track in high
school. She was a member of the
team for four years and MVP her
senior year. Even from the begin-
ning of her first year, she knew that
track would be "her" sport. "I
loved it!!" added Jean. Her favorite
event was the 400 meters. Jean
would like to thank Coach Unger
and Coach Wendell for all their
support.

where the Action Is!!

A bit of competition, a dash
of sweat, tfirow in some hu-
mor, and most importantly, a
bit of exercise all these in-
gredients adds up to what vo
leybail and football intramu-
ral Coach Phil VVendel, would
call the "intramural philoso-
phy." "Basically, intramurals
are for the enjoyment of every-
body, not just a select few.
Even though it's competitive,
the basic premise is not cen-
tered around competition, but
on participation of the faculty,
staff, and students." As a re-
sult, intramurals encourage
total campus involvement, and

There aren't many rules or

competition of leisure time
known to O. U. students as
"intramurals." Despite the
fact that there is a set game
schedule, the players usually
combine their game time with
practice time, going over posi-

utes before they step out on the

one thing in mind - to produce the best pos-
sible yearbook, using all of our combined
capabihties. We were soon confronted with
a few setbacjts: we had to work with an un-
familiar book: we had no idea how to use
the computer, and we had no staff. After
a little recruiting and a lot of hard work, we
are finished. We could never have done it
without the efforts of our dedicated staff.
We would like to recognize them and say-
thank you.

BUSY SHIRES You were
literally an answer to a
prayer. You took over a com-
plicated section with ease
and put our minds to rest.
The Sports looks fantastic.
Thank you for you dedica-
tion and good luck as Editor.

WENDY DRAKE Your will-
ingness to help out showed the
mark of a true friend. Thank you
for making the time to attend all
those events and take pictures.

very busy, you never failed to do your
part. Thank you for your perseverance
with the Clubs.

COLOPHON

Volume 60 of Oglethorpe Univer-
sity's yearbook was printed by Wals-
worth Printing Company, 306 North
Kanasas Avenue, Marceline, Missouri,
64658. Mary Kay Kimmett served as
the customer representative.

Far from the traditional covers of
the past, this year aqua, maroon, and
acorn were chosen for the progressive
cover. The quill and ribbon represent
the many entwined lives of the school,
prompting the theme, HERE'S THE
LATEST!

The Yamacraw is 192 pages long,
with 36 color pages. All body copy is
lOpt. Times Roman; captions are set in
8pl. Times Roman. However, design
styles and headlines vary from section
to section, according to the preference
of the section editor.

The portraits were taken by Olan
Mills of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The
candid shots were taken by staff photo-
graphers and developed by Moto Photo
and Video, 4060 - B Peachtree Road,
Atlanta, Georgia, 30319.
