Two-faced Lupton tower measures
erratic times. Handling hour beginnings and
endings, its careless tock divides our day. We
often take the elevated granite timepiece for
granted, but tradition's turret stands its watch
as an interested observer, a covert shaper of
possibility, a symbol of the cultural inherit-
ance which can bolster or impede a
generation's attempts to define itself. Every
quarter-hour from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. the clock
issues an inescapable reminder of aural tradi-
tion. But every half-hour the song skips a
clap, producing a peal of silence. The incom-
plete cadence of the carillon is Lupton's loop-
hole, the pause that refreshes, a space left for
the unfettered expression of the spirit of the
times.

Zeitgeist: what we make of the missing moment
of tradition in our race against chime.

Yearbooks and this one will be no
exception are plagued by smiles. Too often
yearbooks fail at the difficult task of recording
campus life. Posed, prepared and presenta-
tional subjects expose teeth and little else.
Considering this problem, we decided to
focus on sins rather than smiles. (Regrettably,
some of the sinners were busy smiling any-
way.) In a fit of originality, we chose seven
Oglethorpian sins.

If viewed in time-lapse photography
the physical transformation of campus
over the last seven years would be
astonishing. The $5.5 million Conant
Performing Arts Center will likely cap
a building boom unrivaled since the
'60s. (From '66-72 Emerson, Traer,
Goslin, the president's house on
Windsor and the upper quad dorms
were built. Also, Lowry, Hearst and
Goodman were renovated.)

Beginning with the second
renovation of Lowry Hall into
Weltner Library begun in '9 1 , John
Knott has seen more construction bids
and blueprints than students have seen
opinion surveys. Greek housing ('93),
the Schmidt Center ('94), the once
new residence hall ('96) and the
physical plant ('96) have gone up
almost as quickly as flora, fauna and
other impediments could be cleared
away. The university's appetite for
construction remains insatiate as
strategic initiatives for the 2 1 st century
continue to supplant sylvan initiatives
of past millennia.

The slimmest freshman enrollment

57 since 1990 contributed to a
significant decrease in campus resi-
dence. Without the usual supply of
freshmen, transients, transfers and
assorted huddled masses with no
other housing option, upper quad 3rd
floor occupancy dwindled. The
formerly new residence hall, originally
intended to house upperclassmen. was
filled with sophomores. Students
signed up for doubles ended up
getting singles. Greeks had trouble
filling houses.

Diminished residents did enjoy
novel amenities: personal phone lines.
OUnet hookups, easier parking and
new furniture. Community life also
bought containers for Evie Goldberg's
tobacco leftovers while quizzically
confiscating the residuum of Matt
Carlisle and Drew Murrell's herb of

Purchased for $9.22 at the Interna-
tional Farmers Market in Chamblee,
the boar's head is a cheap date with a
guaranteed goodnight kiss. But the
namesake of OU's oldest tradition
deserves more than a one-night stand.
This year the Yamacraw went beyond
the smooching, schmoozing and song
of the December 6 ceremony and
concert in search of the heart of a
bodiless boar.

Though he claimed to enjoy
his weekend on campus, Head was
quick to criticize the holiday celebra-
tion.

"Reluctant lips, rosemary and
the return of Roy Wayne Mays the
routine doesn't change," Head said. "I
am a symbol; I accept that. Some
degree of objectification is inevitable.
But I don't appreciate being treated
like a grisly showpiece, some macabre
ornament of rough-hewn medieval
appetites, like a piece of meat."

Head would not comment on
specifics of the Boar's Head legend
except saying, "That Copcot story is
mostly bullshit."

Linda Taylor submitted two verses in
spring '87, but only the first was
adopted as Oglethorpe's alma mater.
In celebration of the 1 0-year anni \ er-
sary of Taylor's text Donald Moore
wanted to hear both verses sung on O
Day. Johannes Brahms made no effort
to change his tune, but the poet
professor wanted to revise her second
verse for its first public performance.
She enlisted the help of her Women
Poets class, and together they rewrote
the long-obscured lyrics. The
plainclothes Singers led the new folk
verse for the convocation.

Bob Unger postponed the
running of Petrels of Fire for the first
time in the race's eight-year histor}'.
After surveying the wet concrete
course Unger decided, unlike the

Around the world in 90 minutes.
Through extensive planning and
grueling rehearsals the dedicated
members of the International Club
produced an entertaining and cultur-
ally enriching evening. Emcees Hester
van der Burgh and Ashish Thakur
welcomed a full house to Lupton
Auditorium.

As in past years the interna-
tional fashion show was a highlight,
featuring clothing from Nigeria. India.
China. Pakistan. Japan. England and
the United States. Musical selections
included Chin Chi Wu's graceful
playing of the gu tzen and the more
familiar shakin'. strummin' and singin'
of 2 a.m. The seamless transition
between Greek and Indian folk dances
accentuated the club's attempt to
heighten appreciation of diversity.

After the performance the
audience was directed to the museum.
where Chris Lamor and Olga
Shpodoruk coordinated spreads of
multicultural cuisine and information.

incarnations of the Battle only the

stomping revelry. Though short on
drugs, dancing and rebellion the event
covered rock 'n' roll's remaining
essential tenets: sex and violins.

Daniel Pasquale of Expresso
Experience provided an inexhaustible
spread of homemade dips, chips, bagel

1815, Old Hickory claimed victory.

Open mic nights in the Bomb

dommencement

After watching tuition, housing, lab
fees and activities fees rise for four
years, seniors were saddled with the
exorbitant cost of graduation. Cap,
tassel, gown and hood cost $39.95 in
the bookstore. Rebecca Hester's
graduation announcements and invita-
tions cost her $36.95. The business
office billed all graduating seniors $75
to cover diploma printing and com-
mencement ceremony expenses.
Additionally, senior class president
Randy Roberson asked seniors to
contribute $50 (in two easy $25
installments) for the class gift to the
core endowment fund.

Yoel Levi's commencement
address included nearly as many
voices as his Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra. The Maestro's tour de
force of allusion included bits from
Twain, Rabelais, Walter Lippman,
John Adams, Shakespeare, Israeli
folklore, campus graffiti and
Protagoras' theory of the soul. Levi
also managed to insert a maxim of his
own: "Life is not an algorithm."

Performances at Oglethorpe
started off with a bang as the
Playmakers presented "Assassins," a
musical by Steven Sonheim. The rest of
the year included the children's theatre
production of "The Elf and the Cobbler"
and Wendy Wasserstein's "Uncommon
Women & Others." The times are
changing, as is reflected by the emer-
gence of independent theatre groups
such as Scarlett & Blues and LBCM
Productions. As Willy once said, "The
world is a stage...." Here at Oglethorpe,
not only are the sets being remodeled,
but the players have received new blood
with the addition of some talented
freshmen into the Playmakers. Let the

show begin!

Got a story? an idea? a play? Go
ahead produce it. Perform it. It's pos-
sible. The emergence of two new theatre
groups, Scarlet & Blues and LBCM Pro-
ductions proves this point. We will see
more from Scarlet & Blues next year, but
LBCM Productions sadly folds with the
graduation of Matthew Thompson. Jer-
emy Jeffra, originator of Scarlet & Blues
says that he hopes that more students be-
gin to bring their creations to life. After all,
what better place to play Frankenstein than
Oglethorpe University?

Life has held a sweet melody
for the University Singers this year.
From the annual Boar's Head concert
to the AACU performance at the
Marriott to the Basically Brahms spring
concert heard all over Georgia public
radio, the Singers have perfonned
superbly. Many churches in the area
have hosted the sleepy singers for
Sunday services and some lucky high
school students got to miss class to hear
the strains of "Zigeunerlieder." Any
interested parties?

Field Guide to Petrel Watching
on a MARTA Train
You find yourself riding MARTA
northbound in the same car as a
nameless face from the cafeteria.
Embarrassed that you lack any real
acquaintance with the anonymous
Oglethorpian, you withhold eye
contact and stare instead at the green
advertisement for greyhound racing.
But as you both prepare to detrain at
Brookhaven/OU, you and the famil-
iar stranger wait together before still-
closed sliding doors. Shoulder to
shoulder you maintain your policy of
disacknowledgment feeling progres-
sively more awkward and absurd.
Contrary to the self-deluding fodder
of communitarian propagandists,
Oglethorpe is not so small that
^ everyone knows everyone. Even a
claim of simple familiarity would
exaggerate the closeness of
Oglethorpe's 776-member full-time
student body. (A contention of
familiarity among the 435 campus
residents would be less ambitious,
but far from a safe bet.) Somewhere
between atomized anonymity and the
impossible intimacy of admissions
brochures lies a true assessment of
OU community, where faces cease to
be surprising, but most names remain

obscure.
The following pages contain famil-
iar faces and less familiar names.

Above: "Meriyl Feld, didn't anyone evef Ml you those things cause cancer?

Q: How do you charac-

Oglethorpe?

A: When I was first
here, 1 noticed that my
students had different
hair color ever}' week.
Those are the things
that make me feel
teaching is a privelege,
because you're around
people who are experi-
menting with their life
and those are the best
people with whom to
have a conversation.

"I have met many
wonderful and often
unforgettable people ....
I have been touched by
all their lives and have
learned a lot from them.

"I arrived at
Oglethorpe on Septem-
ber 1, 1968 and since
that time I have en-
joyed a love-hate rela-
tionship with this insti-
tution. I love it because
it is so wonderful, and I
hate it when I realize
that it is not perfect."

Q: How would you
characterize
Oglethorpe's Zeitgeist?

A: The first thing that
comes to mind is apa-
thy. But I think that's
because the student
body is divided. Stu-
dents don't focus their
energies on accom-
plishing anything
readily apparent. Since
everyone is so focused
on their own small
faction, there is no
spirit of unit} .
Oglethorpe lacks
school pride, even
though the school has
lots of positive aspects.
The spirit of the times
is a lack of spirit.

Q: How would you
characterize

A: It's kind of frag-
mented. There's no
prevailing intellectual
or cultural trend.
There's a division in
ethos between the
humanities and busi-
ness departments. Ho^^ -
ever, there is an overall
love of knowledge and

Q: How would

A: I think the sign
of the times at
Oglethorpe now is
the freshman
class. They have a
lot of energy, and
they are making
Oglethorpe seem
more like a real
campus. I think
Kevin Woolf has a
lot to do with this.
He's got some
great ideas, and
there are more
things to do here

Off dusty felt, dripping down from
the rafters on high, the whispers of
organizations past are drowned out by
the drone of diners. Moist Hfe and
powdery death mingle among the
banners above. The diners below
choose their seats according to their
membership in organizations, yet the
signs above them do not keep time
with their movements. A few loyal
banners represent the diners below
them, but many are relics of organiza-
tions which no one remembers.
College Democrats. Residence Hall
Association. Other banners scream
the existence of groups which do not
even speak in the campus community.
Psi Chi. Sigma Zeta. Meanwhile, the
members of the most active organiza-
tions are largely without felt placards
of their own. Stormy Petrel. Sigma
Sigma Sigma. Some of these active
groups foolishly tear down each
other's banners, tearing away much of
the present and restoring the rafters to
their absurdity. Kappa Alpha. Sigma
Alpha Epsilon. Occasionally, life
pours down from the ceiling briefly
as new felt is slid over old metal and
students strive to make a physical
impression of the immediate in the
dusty clay of high wooden beams.
Chi Omega. OUTlet.

This year, fraternities and
sororities laughed; they cried; they
partook of some occasional "booty
music," and they hooked up once in a
while. Not only were there some
"ups," but also some "downs" were
experienced. Furthermore, most
fraternities and sororities held the
traditional events that they have held
for years. Finally as a peak to the
excitement we have all experienced,
Greek Week was held and SAE was
awarded the victor's trophy at
Springfest. This is not much different
then what could be said for many
years gone by.

However, all this repetition of
events does have an importance in
Greek Life. Greeks share the fleeting
few years at Oglethorpe in close
relationships with their own brothers
or sisters and with other Greeks.
While ritual and tradition may seem to
grow repetitive, the time we spend
with our friends now can never be
repeated. Never again will this par-
ticular group of people be together at
OU. As Greeks we are committed to
the established practices of our na-
tional organizations, but as friends we
should strive to appreciate each day
we can spend together as part of the
vibrant, living Oglethorpe community
in the '96-'97 school year, for that can
never be repeated and is quite differ-
ent from all years gone by.

The school year began with a busy rush. Sisters
only had a few weeks to befriend the girls they would
soon call sisters. Fortunately rush ends and true sister-
hood can begin with their new pledges.

The sisters of Chi Omega worked hard in their
valiant efforts to win sorority Greek Week. With a
schedule full of singing, play making and \arious athletic
events, it is a wonder they had time for minor things such
as school work. Chi Omega had yet another good year
of scholarship and sisterhood. The sisters won highest
sorority GPA again, while maintaining an acti\e social
calendar which included mixers, several parties and, the
grand finale, the White Carnation Ball.

The brothers of Delta Sigma Phi returned
from summer to a busy rush schedule. After the open
houses and dinners were fmished. the fraternity
received several new members, and their year was off
and running.

With fun and exciting events such as pledge
retreat and the Delta Sigma Phi formal, one can be
sure that these young men had their fair share of
fun this school year. However, despite their fun lo\ ing
ways, the pledges of Delta Sig were able to capture
the honor of having the highest GPA among all frater-
nity pledges at Oglethorpe.

All in all, the school year has been very
productive for the Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity, and
under the astute leadership of Jason "Turtle"
Breitfeller, the future looks much brighter.

Kappa Alpha had a wonderful rush that was
capped off by a very productive and rewarding Bid Day.
They increased their numbers with some of the finest young
men going through rush, and it is to be hoped the years to
come will only be enhanced by their presence. The year got
off to a grand start with new pledges. Pledge events such as
painting the ZAE roof and standing in the parking lot
advanced brotherhood and Greek unity by leaps and
bounds.

Unfortunately the chapter was unable to hold
scheduled parties, but this small hurdle did not stop the
brotherhood from growing within the walls of Kappa
Alpha Beta Nu. Off campus events such as taking the
Little Sisters out to dinner and an excidng Old South in
New Orleans, assured that fun was had by all those
involved. Although the year was marred by certain
events, the chapter has been able to grow and improve.
In fact. Kappa Alpha received the Most Improved
Chapter GPA for the year which rewarded the brothers
for all their efforts in the classroom. To be sure, not
unlike the South, Kappa Alpha will rise again.

The brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon returned to
campus in the midst of another busy rush, and after the
dust had settled, their efforts were rewarded with several
promising pledges. These pledges were integrated into the
fraternity with events such as mountain climbing on the
pledge trip. The year was very productive yet fun v, ith

headed by Brother Hero, Coy Miller. Other events such
as the Magnolia Ball, ski trip, and "beech" trip allo^A ed the
brothers and guests not only to bond, but also tohave fun.

As the year progressed so did the brotherhood.
Weekly games such as "Black Ball" and the exhilarat-

upon which a good brotherhood is based. The zenith
of the year arrived as the brothers celebrated the fruits
of their labor at the Greek Week victon, part\. Indeed, it

The sisters of Sigma Sigma Sigma have had yet
another banner year that began with a splendid rush. The
sorority was able to get many great new members as a
result of the dedicated friendship they share with each
other. To be sure, Sigma provided the picture in the
dictionary under "a special kind of sisterhood."

Sigma held their usual events such as their Hal-
loween party, mixers with all the fraternities, and their big
dance Pearls, Girls, and Memories. However, the girls
of Sigma distinguished themselves not only as socialites
but also as academics. Their efforts in the classroom won
them the high honor of Most Improved Chapter GPA as
well as a sense of accomplishment.

As the sisters of Sigma Sigma Sigma look back over
the year, they can not only remember the fun they had as
friends but also the accomplishments they achieved as
sisters.

While the sports section of The
Stormy Petrel will have trouble
replacing Daryl Brooks and Chris
Smith, '96-'97 Petrel sports lose few
seniors. Women's basketball, men's
basketball and baseball find them-
selves in similar positions: losing
senior stars, but bringing back tal-
ented rosters. Ten freshmen held the
rope for the women's basketball team.
Golf returns a full squad. Men's soccer
has lost only three seniors in the past
two years. Though LeBeau leaves

program than any other student during
his college career. Along with seniors

to the wonderful world of Petrel soccer.
Two words describe Coach
Lochstampfor's team this year: youth-
ful and shorthanded. Youthful in that
the team graduates only two seniors
this year after graduating only one last
year. And shorthanded in that they
played only 12-14 players in almost
half of their games. But these guys are

the avian equivalent of the energizer
bunny they don't stop ever. While
fielding such a limited roster preserved
woodwork on the seldom used benches
(and prevented splinters from lodging in
posteriors), it did nothing to lessen the
amount of work required of these guys.
But any Petrel will tell you: Work and
play are one and the same.

Malcolm Amerson remembers Tim Crowley

Tim Crowley walked into my
office and into my life in August, 1993,
and informed me that I had been as-
signed as his academic advisor. He told
me that he was undecided about a ma-
jor, so I asked him a few questions to
determine his strengths and interests
and recommended a rather demanding
schedule and he never flinched. The
only stipulation that he had was that his
schedule must never interfere with
baseball practice because baseball was
very important to him. I was interested
because I have always loved the game,
so I asked him if he had any talent and
he said, "I have some talent and I hope
to get better." This established him as
king of understatement because I dis-
covered that he possessed considerable
talent. After he left my office I made a
few notes in his folder and last Friday I
pulled his file and read what I had writ-
ten after that first meeting. You may be
interested in the notes I made that day:
Not decided concerning a major. Nice
looking kid, good manners, looks right
at you when you are talking to him,
appears to have a serious interest in
baseball, did not hesitate to enroll in a
rather rigorous schedule of classes, has
a quiet kind of confidence. As I looked
over his record, it became more and
more difficult to see the pages as tears
filled my eyes...

... It is hard to imagine a trag-
edy worse than the one that brings us

together here today, but I say to you that
this tragedy will be compounded if we
do not learn something from this expe-
rience. What I suggest to you is that we
all make sure that there is something in
our lives that we can be as passionate
about as Tim was in baseball. We need
to make sure that we learn from him
that it is important to be dedicated to
some pursuit. It may be time for many
of us to think about our priorides and
dedicate our efforts to some worthwhile
pursuits. Tim certainly did and he has
several records to prove it in runs bat-
ted in, number of hits, and his no-hitter
that he pitched a short while ago. Can
you imagine a worse tragedy than to
go through life with no passion, no ex-
citement? I am reminded of some
haunting lyrics from a song from the
past which goes, "Life goes on, long
after the thrill of living is gone." I know
for a fact that Tim Crowley could not
relate to this concept...

... I think experts would tell us that
it is important to express grief in a time
like this and this certainly has affected me
in a powerful way as it has the entire
Oglethorpe community. But 1 ha\e to tell
you, I look forward to the time in the fu-
ture when we can celebrate the life of this
young man without that big lump in my
throat. Tim was a special young man and
he deserves to be remembered the \\ a\
he lived with gusto and happiness and
a spirit of the celebration of Ufe.

Last week I was over by the field
house and was talking to Coaches Berk-
shire, Owen and Neugebauer as we
watched the Stormy Petrels playing
Emory. An Oglethorpe hitter came to
bat with men on base and blasted a
home nin o\er the left center field fence
and it took one hop over the little ditch
there and rolled to our feet. Coach
Neugebauer retrieved the ball and threw
it back over the fence while we were
celebrating this long homer and I asked.
"Who was that'?" and Jim Owens said
it was none other than our hero Tim
Crowley. As Tim was rounding the
bases we were all screaming congratu-
lations and I shouted "Way to go Tim.
my boy!" I hope he heard me.
