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. Mad Hatter.

The 1990 Parent's Weekend had a new component, an afternoon of club sponsored ac- tivities for the students and their parents. As the yearbook took portraits, and APO and Alcohol .Asvareness prepared refreshments, the different 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!" Opening 5 ~'^^^'" * -m^'^^ ' :; .^ ^^^m. .

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.

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.

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- Sidewalk .\rt. .-Xrlistic Tn-Sigmas deco- rate the sidewalk on the side of Lupton Hall. 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 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, a freshman, said he had a great time, and it was his first chance to Taking a Drink.

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. 12 Student Life Party On.

Many students, like Jason Slaton relied on the TV for war informa- tion, especially during the first few days of the bombings. 18 Student Life Faced with uncertainty and fears, students found ways to cope with AR 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. The War in the Gulf ended on the The Writing Company. Through the let- ter-writing campaign sponsored by the Writing Company, students were able to show support by sending personal letters to American troops. Paul Kane and Michelle Sidler wait for Alicia Brumbach to finish her letter. 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. The War 19 Gotcha!

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.

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.

'i 22 Student Life 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. Photograph courtesy of Howard Kessellman. Fall and Winter News 23 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, for the team consists of Rookie of the Year, David Justice, Come- back Player of the Year.

As an annual event in Geor- gia, the Renaissance Festival gave 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 delighted with her flowered hair braid and mysteriously speaking of her fortune as told by a palmistry artist.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Homecoming 33 OMECOMING Of the three events that were planned for the weekend of Home- coming, the formal dance was the celebrated highlight of the festivi- ties. Over two-hundred students and friends of Oglethorpe students attended the formal dance held at Carbo's Cafe on Roswell Road. Barbaree Church, the Home- coming band, kept Carbo's Cafe rockin" until nearly one o'clock. The band mostly played original dance music. Their unique style in- spired those at the formal to keep the dance floor packed all night. Thanks to the review of the band in the Stormy Petrel , some stu- dents went to see Barbaree Church at the Dark Horse Tavern a couple of days before the formal. Other Who? O L students got their first glimpse of all the candidates for Lord and Lady Oglethorpe at Friday night's pep rally. 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. 34 Student Life What?

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.

Beach Bash 39 After years of tests, papers and parties, it finally comes down to 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 Studying Paid Off. .'\fter four years of studying, all of Hal Royer's work is rec- ognized wlien he is awarded for having one of the second highest grade point averages of the graduating class. the Stantons at a reception at their house. The seniors got their first taste of the big day at graduation prac- tice. As they gathered to listen to 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- 40 Student Life O' Stormy Petrel.

Graduation 43 44 Academics 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. ongratulations.

Divider 45 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." Research. Like most students. Lance Moonshower. Cramming.

Study Spots 47 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. The Final Test. Jennifer Marine and one of her readers.

Honors 49 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 those like Billy Stalker who studies near Early Spring.

For those well disciplined or frazzled souls, now is the chance to start some laundry or do some much needed clean- ing.

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. Although the snowy weather forced the ceremony into Lupton Auditoriutn, the communications department still man- aged to turn the event into a gala affair. Georgia Supreme Court Justice Charles Weltner had the honor of turning the first shovel of dirt. The new library will be named for his father, Phillip Weltner, Oglethorpe's sixth president. Chris Brow n described the prospect of a new li- brary as well as the ceremony itself as "a great coming together." 52 Academics flpplied Lessons in Music Instructor: Mr. Jim Bohart "One of the im- portant aspects of the class is that Mr. Bohart helps you to achieve what you want to achieve, and he doesn't force you to do other things.

This handy store is locat- ed in the basement of Hearst Hall and is known as the Bookstore. The store's main purpose is to stock and distribute textbooks for all the class- es. This policy makes the place a bit crowed on registration day. "All the stu- dents come as soon as they can in order to get used books," explains work study student Suzanne Brown. Besides the textbooks, the store also offers a wide variety of Oglethorpe sportswear as well as school and office supplies. The latter stock creates easy ac- cess for the campus offices and organiza- tions. The bookstore has accounts for Presents Galore. With its clothes, books and other items, the bookstore makes shopping for presents i easy for busy students like Tracy Williamson. these people in order to facilitate them further. "It's a whole lot easier to run up to the bookstore for things than to have to find a car and drive to the store every time." concludes Busy Shires. The bookstore director. Chuck Wingo, and the employees also take an active part in campus activities. Organi- zations have been able to order items through the bookstore at a cheaper price than elsewhere. The store also lent its he- lium and labor to help blow up the hun- dreds of balloons w hich were used to dec- orate the campus for homecoming and Oglethorpe Day.

Duane Stanford consuhs with advisor Dr. Timothy Hand before signing up for classes. 56 Academics 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. The Great Wait. Even with the new registration Malfunction.

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. Outside Education.

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.

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.

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, Angela Moss, Vicki Stuart, and Karen Whitehead. A third honorary society is Phi Eta Sigma. This is an hon- orary society for freshmen. Any freshman who achieved at least a 3.5 GPA during their first or second semester of their freshman year is eligible for membership in Phi Eta Sigma. Other honorary organiza- tions on campus included Om- icron Delta Kappa, Beta Om- icron Sigma, Psi Chi, Sigma Zeta, and Sigma Tau Delta. ili| ih: Look Over There .Ashley Everhart enjoys herself at Sigma Tau Delta's induction held at Dr. Clarks house last spring.

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. dM ^ Piccasso Lives!

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. I Saw the Light.

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 Rotaract's Trick-or-Treat in Traer. 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 at O.U. but to all those in- volved, it was time well spent. Going To The PowVVow. A future O U. student goes trick-or-treating in Traer.

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. Sweet revenge.

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. Practice Makes Perfect.

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. Drama lovers got a special treat in 1990 for the first time ever, the drama honorary Alpha Psi Omega performed their own showing of Actor's Nightmare.

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- standing job on performances this year, but with the talent they possess, they will have no trouble topping their produc- tions in the coming year. ^>r^ Are We Almost Ready?

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.

Divider 85 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. New KA"s.

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 Davis. Jon Perry, and Don Lombardy. The new Kappa Alpha man- sion is located on Cove Circle in a quiet, sub- dued neighborhood. The KA"s fit right in. D. J. Jamie Gramling, Brandon Pelissero, and Rob Hopek live in the new house. They can't put holes in the walls anymore, but they have a decent lime anyway. Both sororities were uprooted because of the 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. Brothers Kevin .Meaders and Craig Wren relax with little sister.

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.

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."

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 Goofing Off. Friends Scott Piehl, Jeff Whitney, and Lance Moonshower re- lax at the annual Fall Jam in Traer.

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 about the weekend, I can go to a party and have fun. but then the next day 1 might choose to just watch old movies and re- lax." says senior Kasya Tay- lor. There certainly is a variety of things for Oglethorpe stu- dents to do with their free time, it's just a matter of de- ciding what might be more fun. Letting Go.

On The Town 105 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. 106 Seniors Lance Lcil/el Sophia Lentini Steven Mandcl Rebecca Marasia Jill McDonald Michelle Metcalf Donna Miller Debbie Mix Maria Moore Cecelia OFlinn Amanda Paelz Hina Patel Moving Out 107 Archella Pavlisko Laura Prescott Soren Ryland Robb Sellards Hisahiro Shimizu Debbie Shreve Michelle Sidler Wendy Smith Stephen Summerow Kasya Taylor Cheryl Thomas Sonja Thomas 108 Seniors 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. Seniors 109 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- Spolting Problems. Katherine 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. 110 Seniors Ember Uziel Naomi Walker Todd Williams Craige Wrenn Julia Wynn Izumi Yamashita Ignacio Arrizabalaga Amy Baggett Fred Buttell Christine Farrelly Kris Reeder Christian Scott 'AV^tai. - 1 mktiM Out of Here 111 Joseph Shelton Stocking Up.

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? O. U. Dance. Archella Pavlisko and Eating In.

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." Tests 115 w 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 Up and over. Brock Peyer makes the trip over another infamous Ogle- thorpe speed breaker. able to control or predict the air-conditioning in their 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.

Despite ;he name change, the Quad nas remained one of the most sopular places on campus. In the Fall, footballs can be >een daily flying through the 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.

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? Deserted. This student apparently opted to attend classes today. Sweet Dreams. Robbie Moore decides that it's time for a day off. Going to Class 121 Dorm Sweet Dorm Everyone knows that no dorm is Better Homes and Gardens material, but some- 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." Stacked up.

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.

Mil 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.

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.

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 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! Advisors 145 iK A. 146 Sports .\%* L^ if%j^ 'i-^..'^' ?: i This year marked a banner year for athletics. In basketball.

The soccer and tennis programs at Oglethorpe continued to gain mo- mentum with new coaches Brett Teach and Mike Mitchell, both 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- man, and a baseball team, coached by Steve Myer.

Divider 147 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. Coach Brett Teach finished his first year at Oglethorpe as both the men's and women's coach. Before he came to Oglethorpe, he coached at La- Grange College. While coach- Assistant Coach.

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. Soccer 149 For Teach!!

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. In Motion.

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- tion toward the school that I feel. I've also made life long friends!!" explained Sami. Sami was nominated for All South Honors and was honorable mention on the All-Region Team. She was on the Phoenix Cup All Tournament team as both a junior and senior. As a junior, she was the Offensive Player of the Year and was awarded co-MVP award along with fellow senior Jennifer Marine this year.

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.

Killian Edwards, who played the halfback and the stopper 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!!" Soccer 157 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 No No No. K.illian Edwards sarcasti- cally explains to Zoe Hughes that the soccer ball and their uniforms really weren't supposed to match. 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.

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."

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.

Basketball 163 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- 1990-91 Cheerleaders.

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.

Through a very wet spring, the Men's Tennis Team man- aged to play 15 games; al- 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 court expertise." 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." Swinging Through.

As a player, Hal left the courts knowing that he gave everything he had. every match. His "never say die" atti- tude frustrated opponents and in- spired his teammates. As a senior. HaKs leadership was invaluable to a voung tennis team. In tennis, a player has to be smart to be suc- cessful, but more importantly, a player has to play with heart. A coach IS lucky when he finds a player that plays with a lot of heart and a lot of head; Hal Royer has set the standard for those to fol- low," commented Coach Michael Mitchell when asked about Hal's performance during the 1991 sea- son. Hal has played tennis for two years and during that time, he played anywhere from the #2 posi- tion to the #5 position; depending on the daily team situation. "Ten- nis has been frustrating because there's a lack of commitment. I'm certainly not the best, but as I see 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 tennis experience here at O. U."

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).

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.

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!!" Track 171 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. Team Photo, Front Row.

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 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. Track 173 where the Action Is!!
