BYRON

Iord Byron's lament may
or may not be justified;
after all, where is the
beauty of the ancient theater,
the flawless architecture of the
colisseum, the scintillating art-
work of the Renaissance, today?
It's right here at Oglethorpe Uni-
versity (duh!). Have you taken a
close look at Hermance lately?
(If not, flip back a couple of
pages.) When did you last at-

tend a Playmakers' or
an Alpha Psi Omega
show? Have you ever
set foot in the
Oglethorpe University
Museum? Our school is a living,
breathing tribute to beautiful
antiquity at its finest. Ourliberal
arts educational sytem was not
only founded by the ancients,
but every other aspect of the
school emulates the ancients as

well,performing arts to student body,ath-
letics to architecture. Take a trip with us
from these ancient cultures to the contem-
porary mirror-images of our campus to-
day. After all, as Erasmus says,"lt is an un-
scrupulous intellect that does not pay to
antiquity its due reverence."

cretizing our beliefs and opinions into a firmly knowledgable and undoubtedly
intelligent individual. How the masses of us go about that education, that soul-
shaping, if you will, is various and entertaining. Whether you prefer the traditional
method, complete and utter silence bordering on insanity, or take a more Bohemian
outlook,generally replete with fast food,athletic equipment,and Alex Bell's most sub-
lime invention, it's not the Greatest Procrastination Approach that matters (though
admittedly impressive!), it's the Grade Point Average.

Honneconning absolutely reeked of
ancient Pagan rituals, just another
festive habit we picked up from an-
cestors of yore. What. . .you're sur-

Druids dance around bonfires. . .you
bet they did! The Greeks and Romans
were just as guilty of paganism. . . St.
Valentine may have been a real saint,
but did you really think those hearts
into which his holiday evolved had

anything to do with Catholicism?
Be it belief in funny little elves or
dressing up like the fantastical
high priest Papa Smurf, the re-
sidual effects of paganism are rife,
even in our largely Judeo-Chris-
tian community. You must even
question the intent of the Trick -
or-Treat in Traer do-gooders,
whose reading to the children in-
volves a book on chickens and all
the fun voodoo spells one can
cast with them-don't be fooled

Unless man is committed to the belief that all

mankind are his brothers, then he labors in vain

and hypocritically in the vineyards of equality.

-^dam Clayton ^owelljr

Even though he hasn't been
dead for multiple millenia,
Adam Clayton Powell's
ideas are still universal. His words
echo the idea of equality for all
mankind begun in the
democratic city-state of Athens;
of course,then,"all mankind"was
composed of white property-
holding males, but we've come a
long way, baby! Ofcourse,onthis
campus, some mankind are more
"brothers" than others. ..and sis-

ters, too! Oglethorpe boasts of
quite a large population of sib-
ling combos, and while a few are
depicted here, you can find more
in the student section. Whether
playing a sport, playing around,
or just mugging for the camera,
these family relations are surely
recognizable to the diligent cam-
pus eye. . .and what better way to
illustrate our link to past genera-
tions than through current stu-
dent familial relations?

Museum:

We have a museum ?

Indeed, it exists. Enter the library, take a right, enter the elevator, and press
3. You thought it was storage, didn't you? No, actually, it's home to an
anomaly; most schools the size of Oglethorpe could only dream of having a mu-
seum, period, but to have one of such prestige, rivaling larger university muse-
ums. . . it' s unheard of. Beginning in the Fall of 1996 , thousands of community
visitors flocked to see the Buddha Maitreya, gold figurines praising Tibetan art,
and real Tibetan monks delicately channeling colored sand into a round canvas,
the result being a sand mandala. The Dalai Lama actually visited Oglethorpe' s
most celebrated art exhibit- - how many of your state school friends can say thatl
This year alone, the OU Museum has been home to the incredibly life-like
sculptures of past OU professor Duane Hanson, the realism of Jack Beal, and the
watercolors of Herman Hesse. They're developing a pretty snazzy permanent
collection also. In addition, periodic lecture series give museum patrons
an opportunity to hear the works discussed, such as the recent series on
Herman Hesse , novelist and poet as well as artist. See what you' re miss-
ing! There's a gift shop full of beautiful things, handpicked by Museum
Manager Kathleen Guy; there are galas, lectures, and other public events
coordinated by OU alumnus and longtime Museum drone Chad Vaughn;
there' s art; there' s peaceful music; there' s Professor/ Director Lloyd Nick,
and that, in itself, is worth the trip.

^rf at Oglethorpe:

IT'S ALIVE!

I know, I know, it's probably a little too shocking to find out about
the existence of the Museum and art classes all in one day- - 1 mean ,
what do they think this is , a liberal arts university? Sorry guys, if you
want to avoid the culture , stay in Lupton , because it' s rampant. Since
it's true that many students at Oglethorpe have never taken an art
class, and some of the more clueless didn't even know that they had
the option, this page is dedicated to bringing you the very finest in
documentation that art classes do exist. We have chosen also to put
in pictures of art so you can see exactly what these art classes produce.
Hopefully one day to offer a major, OU's art program currently gives
students the option of learning a wide variety of skills, from print-
making to sculpture to painting. Drop by the Faith Hall studio some-
time, and you're sure to run into devoted artists putting the finishing
touches on their creative projects, even into the wee hours of the
morning. How do you think we got these photos?

PHOTOGRAPHY:

Wreaking Jia]POC
with Cameras

Photography is not only the art of taking pictures that are aesthetically
pleasing, but pictures that have the ability to change the way people view
the world. . . not to mention one of the hardest classes in which to enroll
at Oglethorpe. Students who are fortunate enough to actually get into this
class go out on picture- taking frenzies all over campus trying to finish their
many and varied assignments, and also have the honor of reeking of pho-
tographic chemicals afterwards. Two of Oglethorpe' s best known photo-
graphic geniuses are Jeremy Greenup, a Senior, and Collins Yates , a Sopho-
more. Jeremy is best known for hyper- sensory images of people; the view-
ers may experience a sense of witnessing a scene from someone's life, or
feel involved in a more movie- esque dream sequence- -in either case, all
senses react to the strong and overwhelming incarnations. Collins' photos
capture candid moments in the lives of those around her and natural set-
tings; the beauty of her work earned an Excellence in Photography Award
at the Honors and Awards Convocation. Both she and Jeremy were fea-
tured in the art show that took place in Hearst, as well as the photography

exhibition in the Library.

The 1998 Fall Semester proved to be one full of theatrical perfor-
mances. Lupton Auditorium had its fill of life beginning with Al-
pha Psi Omega' s production of The Dining Room and then moving
on to the Shadowbox Players' Night of One Acts. New to
Oglethorpe's theatrical arena, Night of One Acts featured six stu-
dent- written and directed plays. The independent theater organi-
zation, consisting of both novices and more well- seasoned perform-
ers, no doubt made its debut a riveting success. Not to be left out of
the limelight, the Conant Performing Arts Center received its share
of attention in November with the Playmaker' s production oi Iphigenia
at Auh's. Two new Oglethorpe primadonnas Jesse Demaria and
Chalon Payne injected hot, fresh, young blood into the Playmaker' s

Spring [)rdutin$:

Independents 'Take the Stage

This Spring Oglethorpe witnessed a surprising crescendo of independent
theater productions starting off with the Shadowbox Players' production of
Steven Sondheim's musical Company. Company was the biggest produc-
tion by far this Spring, bringing in the largest crowds for a theater perfor-
mance in Oglethorpe history. Other independent productions included
All in the Timing, performed under Carla Hyman's direction, and Jeremy
Greenup' s self- written and directed play , He Dances Fright. These unique
producrtions made for an entertaining night of student- produced plays.
Not to go unnoticed, the Playmakers, under the direction of Lee
Knippenberg, kicked off the Spring theater season with its annual Children' s
Play ( including not only Playmakers but also Dean Tucker) . Although it
was obviously geared towards children, it was an enjoyment to both the
young, and the not- so- young- looking. Noises Off, a hilarious play that
shows what truly goes on backstage, was Playmakers' major performance

an

d the final one of this year. The love triangles, droplines, and barely-

there costumes gave the play an air of reality seldom found on the stage.

There are many niusicans at Oglethorpe. Some are talented, some try.
Many Oglethorpe students had the chance to hear and enjoy each of
these bands during the Battle of the Bands in the Upper Quad. The
bands that came out were Chronic Pentatonic, a definitely unique and
talented band with a sound that's hard to describe with just one word.
Dark Night of Soul and Hart- O-Maniahoth featured Hart Master D on
vocals. Deep Waters was the big winner this year however, earning the
privilege of opening for The Connells during Stomp the Lawn. With
Oglethorpians Chad Mozley on vocals and Jim Payne on drums, Deep
Waters is a Christian band with talent. Jim Payne, especially, seemed to
be Big Man on Campus this year playing in Deep Waters, Poor Man's

The Singers have hit a high note this year, sounding the best they
have in years and finally moving out of Lupton and into the
Conant Center thanks to the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. John
Conant. Celebrating this transition, the Singers performed
Henry Purcell's Come Ye Sons o/y4rf with a baroque orchestra and
three professional soloists in addition to their Fall Concert
material. The Singers perform a wide variety of music ranging
from serious works from composers such as Brahms to tongue- in-
cheek pieces like Cheek to Cheek, a nocturnal tango that even
moved Dr. Ray's cheeks. At the Boar's Head concert. Dr. Ray
and his wife competed for center stage as both of their choirs
performed separately as well as together; "F m not practicing
nepotism, they just happen to be a very talented youth choir, " Dr.
Ray swears. The Singers' activities this year included a
restful trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee and a workshop with the
Scholars of London choral group. The Singers concluded a
successful year with "Mozart's Mass in C Major, " performed in
conjunction with the Dekalb Choral Guild and the Atlanta
Chamber Orchestra. This year for the Singers was so successful
because they were able to perform with many different groups of
people; they were more than happy to share the spotlight, unlike
their self- absorbed concerts of the past.

The ins and outs
of earning:

In and Out of the Classroom, that is. . .

One of the many advantages of going to a school near a big city is the
plethora of opportunities for career development and advancement; fu-
ture plans are molded through not only academics but through experien-
tial education as well. Students who intern are able to get an edge on
the job market and to see what careers are available in their field of
interest. The Carter Center, Eggleston Children's Hospital, the Geor-
gia Shakespeare Festival, the Atlanta History Center, the High Mu-
seum, Atlanta Magazine, CNN, the Capitol, you name it, OU stu-
dents have done it, all thanks to the wonderful women of Goodman,
Kate Williams and Katherine Nobles. Kate Williams is making quite a
splash for a rookie here at Oglethorpe, as Intern Coordinator as well as
Urban Leadership Director. With these women' s help, there is no short-
age of opportunities and no limits to which Oglethorpe students will not
go to intern. Not all shining stars have internships; many students at
Oglethorpe stand out above the rest due to their involvement and scho-
lastic achievement. For whatever reason, every student honored here is
counted among the creme de la creme, the cream of the crop, the soup
du jour (no wait, don' t eat the soup! ) here at Oglethorpe and their hard
work and active involvement deserves recognition.

That's Latin for Honor Societies in case

figure it out.

There are many honor societies at Oglethorpe University, so many in fact
that there was no possible way to mention every one on this humble page.
There is room, however, to mention a few. Order of Omega is one of
these prestigious honor societies. This society honors those students who
exhibit outstanding leadership in Greek organizations. The new induct-

ees

were Pat DiCicco and Kristen Kirkland (present in the picture) , and

Kip Chambers, Mandy McDow, and Heather Cordeiro (in absentia).
Alpha Chi prides itself on having members with the most outstanding
academic records at Oglethorpe; only those with OP As in the top 10% of
the Junior and Senior class are privy to this honor. Last, but certainly
not least, is OAK, its exclusive circle being limited to fifteen students.
To be inducted into OAK, one must master involvement in several of five
areas: scholarship, honors and organizations, athletics, student govern-
ment and supporting committees, and the media, publications, and per-
forming arts. Then, once in OAK, one must master the Force.

Commencement

Breaking Out of the
Oglethorpe Bubble

I know it's terrifying, but after all, we sent the Seniors off with quite a
reception, a raucous round of applause, and the one thing for which
they came here: their diploma! Now get out there and make a Uving,
you punks! In all seriousness, it was a beautiful ceremony and a equally
lovely day; the sunshine in the sky only caused a few fainting casualties,
mainly the parents of those students more acclimated towards Northern
climates. President Emeritus Donald Stanton took us through the past,
present, and future of Oglethorpe University, reminding us that "The
Stormy Petrel Still Flies, " President Larry Large spoke words of inspira-
tion to the departing Class of 1999, and Senior Class President Jeremy
Greenup spoke candidly to those with whom he's spent the past four
years of his life. The Singers sang beautifully, the graduates sat still,
somber and at the same time joyous, until that all- satisfying moment at
which they each walked across the stage, to cries of delight from friends
and family. When it was all over, the merrymaking began (it took
little imagination to "Party Like It's 1999") . It's truly a time of new
beginnings for all graduates of 1999, and we wish them the best. Come

"The Boar's Head is a big ole' head, they lopped
it off a pig; it's big and it's stinky and it smells
really bad. . ." If Saturday Night Live did a rendi-
tion of the Boar's Head carol, it would go some-
thing like this. The true lyrics buried amidst re-
corder-playing and the initiates' gagging at the
smell of their supposed fare, this version is at least
an approriate summation. Besides, Olde English
is so passe. Marking the traditional opening to
the Christmas Season here at Oglethorpe, Omi-
cron Delta Kappa presents the Boar's Head festi-
val as a supplement to its annual initiation. Fes-
tivities this year included a reading from Para-
dise Lost by Dr. McFarland. a performance by the
Oglethorpe University Singers, and the reading of
the Boar's Head tale. As legend has it, a vicious
boar, ferocious nostrils flaring, charged the stu-
dent Copcot as he walked peacefully in the forest
of Shotover. The Queen's College student really
fixed that pig's wagon with a dose of Aristotle
down its throat; his battle cry was "Wisdom con-
quers even the treacherous beast." Reports vary
as to whether he added "you apple-sucking swine."
At any rate, in celebration of the youth's bravery,
we now revere a pig's head, its aromatic fragrance
wafting over the new initiates in the front row. Did
I mention they get to kiss it?

OGLETHORPE
DAY:

APPRO/^CHirSG THE MILLENNIUM

As the day awakens clear and chilly, the sound
of bagpipes cuts the silence: another Oglethorpe
Day has dawned. Once again, classes are
moved and schedules reorganized in order for
students, faculty, and alumni to give thanks for
the past, present, and future of Oglethorpe
University. Deeming James Edward
Oglethorpe's birthday as the day for revelry,
students gather to watch the thrilling "Petrels of
Fire" race, in which mere mortals race to beat
the furious clanging of Lupton's bells. Follow-
ing the mad dash around the quad, bystanders
march to the Conant Center for the traditional
performances and speeches. Paul Hudson
opened the ceremony with a brief description
and explanation of this year's theme: "In Pur-
suit of the Millennium: Thornwell Jacobs and
Cosmic History at Oglethorpe." Immediately
following was the original one-act play, "Cos-
mic Thing" (Not the B-52 album) written by
Jeremy Jeffra, which provided a glimpse into
the much-feared Cosmic History course once
required of every graduating Senior. Appar-
ently, this study of the history of earth from the
very beginning of time put even Human Nature
to shame. The ceremony closed with insignia-
clad Singers performing the
Alma Mater. Lunch was served
in the Milky Way Galaxy, the
Black Hole, and Mars; of
course, shuttles every fifteen
minutes from the student center
provided transportation.

It's a time for school spirit, big parties,
and a touch of pyrotechnics. Home-
coming '99 was no exception. Junior
class President Katie Coakley decided
to show Oglethorpe "Where the Wild
Things Are" and planned accordingly.
The schedule ran a little differently this
year with the bonfire on Thursday
night, the basketball game on Friday
night followed by the block party, and
the dance on Saturday night. The
Petrel's victory over Southwestern
roused the fans and put a decidedly fes-
tive mood in the air. That festive mood
carried over to the club/concert hall,
The Tabernacle, providing the neces-
sary ambience so different from the
normal, stuffy Holiday Inn ballroom.
The band didn't hurt either; scantily
clad in grass skirts, mesh shirts, and
halter tops. Members Only seduced the
crowd with '80s hits known and loved
by all. (At least half the women in the
audience were in love with hula boy.)
By night's end, everyone was a little
wilder, and better for it.

SNOW DAY:

/^FTER 80 WINTER. MOTHER IN/^TURE
PULLS THROUGH

'Twas a typical school night in

Oglethorpe town; the students were

studying or fooling around.

When all of a sudden a phone call was

placed, that circled the dorms at a most

rapid pace.
"Look outside, look outside, you've got
to see this! It's snowing, I swear it, save

your work to a disk!

We're going to play in the snow-I'm not

lying screw studying, stop whining, I

know that you're tired."
From Upper Quad and New Dorm and
Traer they came, laughing and shouting

and calling out names.
For students to join in the white revelry,
that had fallen from heaven at quarter to

three.

So all through the night the laughter was

heard as frisbee games and snow fights

continually occurred.
But alas, the next morning,
classes began, and the snow
starting melting right out of

our hands.

But no one can forget that

one glorious night when the

snow covered everything

and blinded our sight.

Programmiiig Board

They don't just spend your money. . .they spend it well.

Quad Quamival. Casino Night. Stomp the Lawn.
While these are expected annual events, they by no
means encompass all that the Programming Board ac-
complishes in a school yeai". After a major overhaul.
Programming Board emerged bright and shiny new
with Jerry Portwood heading up the group. Under
his expert guidance, Programming Board sponsored
and co-sponsored over twenty events. The year
started off with the re- spelled Quad Quamival featur-
ing inflatable games (a must at any good shindig), for-
tune tellers, and henna tatoos. James Randi debunked
the mystical and magical in the Fall, and students
pressed their luck in the cafeteria at Casino Night.
Swing Night was held in the gym with Mike Fulford
acting as DJ and instructor and Virgin Bourbon trans-
formed the Traer courtyard into a Oglethorpian New
Orleans (sans Red Light District, of course). How-
ever, Programming Board not only plans their own
events, they co-sponsor other groups as well. With-
out Programming Board, the music of Seven Day
Jesus would not have pulsed from Lupton auditorium
and the talented Oglethorpe acting eUte would not have
been able to entertain the masses in "Company." So,
call them "joiners" if you must. But by all means, re-
spect them. They don'tjust spend your money. They
spend your money well.

Above: As a result of Programming Board,
students discovered their hidden pottery
skills and made beautiful pieces of artwork;
we're talking museum quality here, people!

ULTIMATE
FRISBEE

This ain't your daddy's frisbee.

The past academic year was very promis-
ing for the Oglethorpe Ultimate Disc
Association. An excited group of Fresh-
man bolstered the numbers to nearly two
dozen at times. Another big development
came from adding Ultimate as an intra-
mural sport. With a somewhat higher
profile on campus, they are looking to-
ward seeing some new, as well as more
familiar, faces next year. Additionally, a
number of Oglethorpe students have
begun to play Ultimate outside of the
bubble (what? We can go outside of the
bubble?). This serves to increase their
reknown and improve their talent. With
no Seniors to lose, they hope to soon
become officially recognized as a campus
organization, begin practicing on the
weekends, and travel to some out-
of-state tournaments. Right now,
Oglethorpe Ultimate is all potential.

Stomp the Lawn

This year marked a first in Stomp the
Lawn history. Instead of Springfesters
joining in the festivities, the visitation
weekend was broken into two "Make the
Connection" weekends. Needless to say,
the absence of high school seniors did
not dampen the spirits of Oglethorpe
students nor did the rain that threatened
that morning. Instead, the sun shone
brightly as students waded in the sound
of Deep Waters, laughed at the antics of
Dad's Garage, and chilled with The
Connells. In addition, booths were scat-
tered around the Academic Quad as
fortune tellers mystified their wary cus-
tomers and faculty got their just desserts.
The dunking booth was popular this year,
but EZZ's pie-throwing fund-raiser auc-
tion was by far the most attended. For
what seemed a small fee, Oglethorpians
were given the chance to take out a little
frustration on various members of faculty
and staff such as Sarah
Hinkle, Bernard Potts and
Professor Doyle. Who said
that revenge isn't sweet?

"Hi, and welcome to Oglethorpe University! I'm
(insert Ambassador name here) and I'll be leading
your tour today. . ." Can you picture those bright
smiles and happy faces that just emanate love for
OU? Anyone can tell you, that's how you can
identify an Ambassador. They don't get much
attention, for their job is less flashy than some others
around campus. But, if you pay close attention, you
may see a small group of people that you don't
recognize walking around like ducks. Chances are,
an Ambassador is playing Mama Duck. This year
presented new challenges for the Ambassadors and
Admissions staff. Instead of one Springfest week-
end, two "Make the Connection" weekends were
held. During this Sunday-Monday overnight visit,
prospective students were bussed around Atlanta,
visiting various landmarks such as the revolving
restaurant at the Weston-Peachtree, Centennial
Park, and the Varsity. Following scavenger hunt-
type clues, the prospectives found a new contact at
each destination; each new activity allowed them the
chance to bond with each other and Ambassadors.
While the 'festers were missed at Stomp the Lawn,
there is no doubt that the endless bus ride and
assorted antics captured and held their deUght for
hours. Additionally, their absence from any merri-
ment designed for older students
surely fostered a much more positive
image of Oglethorpe in their young,
impressionable minds-the only thing
that made these kids' stomachs lurch
was good, wholesome Varsity food!

"Tis a far, far better thing doing stuff for other
people." This misquote by Alicia Silverstone's
character in "Clueless" does a pretty good job of
summing up community service. Not only do you
help your fellow man (or woman), but you get a
warm, fuzzy feeling to go along with it. Several
organizations on campus, such as AOQ, Amnesty
International, and the newly reinstated Circle K,
are devoted solely to helping humanity and par-
ticipate in activities ranging from the AIDSwalk
Atlanta to collecting supphes for hurricane victims.
Can anyone forget the sight of all those little kids
running around Traer for AOQ's Trick-or-Treat in
Traer? However, other groups on campus get in
on the fun as well. The Greek community is dedi-
cated to helping the less fortunate and volunteers
many hours to various organizations such as Scot-
tish Rite, the Boys and Girls Club, and various
nursing homes around Atlanta. While we live the
lives of hard- working college students, it is clear
that we cannot live by Aristotle and Analytical
Geometry alone. So, when you're feeling stressed
out and cranky, get out there and lend a hand. It's
amazing what you get back.

To the naked eye, it may look as if all fraternities are
basically the same. However, once orientation is over
and the students get into the groove of things, it be-
comes obvious that nothing is exactly as it seems. After
the first CF party of the year, students come to ex-
pect outlandish flyers, hamburgers on the top deck,
and brothers that double as sisters. Despite this some-
what bizarre description, the brothers of CF know
how to throw a party and have some good, clean,
old-fashioned fun. As hosts of some of the most memo-
rable parties of the year such as Pimp N' Ho, Drag
Party and CF Halloween, the boys get the chance to
let go of their everyday stress (and dress, on occa-
sion). Fortunately, they extend this opportunity to the
rest of the campus as well. However, there is more
to this fraternity than techno music and tiaras. After
their unfortunate expulsion from Greek Week, the
brothers resorted to what they felt was their only
choice in the situation. On that fateful Sunday night,
five brothers took the stage to the strains of "You
Can Leave Your Hat On" and preceded to wow the
audience with their incredible dance moves and cloth-
ing removal techniques. The audience went crazy as
assorted sorority girls drooled and whistled at the
exhibition. "Playgirl" extended offers to graduating
Seniors Jeremy Greenup and Pat
DiCicco; the other boys have de-
cided to obtain their degrees first.

Once again, the brothers of ALO have really
outdone themselves. Famous for their "Get
Lei'd, Can't Say No" party and "Safe Sex in
the Snow," Delta Sig has the reputation of
an oasis for thirsty freshman girls. How-
ever, after the unfortunate Hunch Punch
incident, the brothers were unable to use
their Egyptian aphrodisiac to seduce the
women of campus anymore. Affirmative
action was taken by Ms. Amy Lantz, Greek
Affairs coordinator extraordinaire, and AZO
was put on social probation. The rest of the
year saw a much quieter, gentler side of the
brotherhood. Even Greek Week seemed to
have lost much of its spunk when this very
musically talented group couldn't get
enough brothers together to participate in the
Sing. However, all was well when the Skits
came around. Their "Fraternity Feud" both
enlightened and unified the members of the
Greek community at OU when they revealed
the number one answer to the question of
what most Oglethoipe University students
want to toss~the Greek Affairs Coordinator!

"Sisters Wanted," their Bid Day T-shirts pro-

seem to be doing just fine as they are. Each year
brings a new wave of purple to the campus and a
new fleet of sailboats float across the doors of
the dorms. They sing of "Pearls and Girls and
Memories," and have the sureshots to prove it.
The annual Purple Passion crush party has the
Oglethorpe men crossing their fingers in antici-

The HallowZZZnie roast is also a holiday favor-

campus activities, you are always sure to spot
that splash of purple in the stands and hear the
loudest and most spirited yells issuing from
these sisters. From Ambassadors to OSA to
soccer, the Sigmas represent their chapter with
pride. However, membership in Sigma Sigma
Sigma is not simply parties and pearls. Instead,
it is a committment, a way of life. They're
Sigma bom, and they're Sigma bred, and when
they die, they'll be Sigma dead. . .at any rate,
sisterhood is for life! No matter how hard they
try, they can't help but display that Sigma pride!

Sure, they're clandestine in that they don't flaunt
their letters literally, but they're far from hidden
on this campus; in fact, they're donoiright promi-
nent. Many may not be aware, but the 7th fra-
ternity on this campus goes by the name AI, or as
we lovingly like to call it, those "Damn Indepen-
dents." From reorganizing student clubs to lead-
ing some of OU's sports teams to victory, all of
these students have made a tremendous impact
on Oglethorpe. For instance, she's served as
Stormy Petrel Editor, Singers President, and
OAK President (just to hit the biggies). . .you
guessed it, Catherine Borck! Her leadership on
campus earned her the James Edward Oglethorpe
Cup at graduation. Or what about Kelly Falany?
In the two years she's been here, she's gotten her-
self involved in just about everything; most no-
tably, she's worked long hours to reorganize Salt
'N Light. This club for Oglethorpe's Christian
community has grown larger and more promi-
nent under Kelly's leadership. As OSA secretary,
Tina Stults rejuvenated the missing Interclub
Council. With its revival, the Oglethorpe com-
munity functions a lot more smoothly. And we
need not mention Mike Deckert's athletic prow-
ess on both the Men's Basketball and Golf teams
(but he'd probably like it if we did). Let's not
forget Patrick Ritter's jump start to the long-dead
W]TL-the station's on-line and the DJs are ac-
tive, participating as volunteers at
this year's Music Midtown to raise
money for this organization that
does not promise to disappear
soon. They're everywhere, they're
strong leaders, and Oglethorpe is
that much more extraordinary be-
cause of those "Damn Indepen-
dents."

Greek Week

Kickball. Cosmic Pong. Fooseball. Flag Foot-
ball. Trivial Pursuit. The competition is fierce,
some win and some lose, but a fun time is had by
all. Field day. Skit, and Sing are three of the most
popular events, allowing the fraternities and so-
rorities to showcase their athleticism, witticism, and
narcissism, in that order. While Sing showcases
musical talent (and cute, thematic costumes). Skit's
reputation remains a blatant mockery of all that is
reverent about Oglethorpe. With references to
the Smurfs, Alice in Wonderland, Brittany Spears'
"Hit Me Baby One More Time," and T.V.
gameshows, this year's Greek Week skits will hold
a special place in the annals of Greek Week. How-
ever, a deep absence pervaded the Dining Hall
this year, in that Springfesters did not attend.
Prospectives attended one of two "Make the Con-
nection" weekends that occurred before and after
Greek Week. Coincidence? We think not. Be-
cause prospectives were not present, the Greeks
bared all, and we mean all. Stripping became
popular this year, and everyone saw their share of
skin. Delighted by this turn of events, Greeks
voted to never allow prospectives to attend Greek
Week again: "If it's down to seeing the Smurfs
naked or having prospectives, I vote smurfs, ev-
ery time," Amy Lantz insists.

"No guts, No glory." This runs through the minds of
many athletes, especially those who do the running.
The Cross Country and Track teams put endurance
to the test. They are both very competitive sports,
with one's self. The breaking of a P.R., or personal
record, is a big deal to these athletes. Except in relay
races, the only constant competitor one has is his or
herself. Although running against other teams, the real

thing that runners compete against is the clock. On
the other side of the track are those that participate in
the field events. These events take a lot of strength
and ability. Once again it is a personal field. There
are many athletes who compete in both cross country
and track. This gives them a year-long work out,
keeping them at peak condition. Both are coached

helped as assistant coach.
Their success was aided by

Seniors on the team, they

must only be destined for suc-
cess in the next year, especially
with players like Kendra
Rimbert. This name automati-

named All-conference, 2nd

was named Best Offensive. In
addition. Heather Crawford
was honored as Best Defen-
sive, and Heather Baber as

indicate the vitality of this

PE-TRELS, LET'S GO, L-E-T-S-G-0! The enthusiasm
echoing through the Schmidt Center is somewhat conta-

to be. However, Captain Kristen Wentzel and five other
peppy OU women have worked very hard to raise the
prestige of the advisorless Cheerleading Squad in the last
year, and have persevered through a barrage of setbacks.
Cheerleading star Kara White's torn ACL definitely put a
damper on their first appearance at Emory, but it didn't
squelch her spirit, and thankfully, she'll be returning to the
squad just in time for next season. And the meek strains of
"Getting Jiggy With It" during the Women's Homecoming
Game, barely audible to the Cheerleaders, much less the

crowd, didn't throw these talented girls offbeat. The mu-
sic returned full force for the Men's game, and these chip-
per girls sprung into action, and sprung Kristen Wentzel
into an elevator. Their stunting capabilities, virtually dead
for the last several years, have exceeded expectations this
season, thanks to what the girls jokingly call the "OU
Cheerleading Powerhouse," Allison Osborne and Molly
Lewis. Oh, the wonders of upper body strength. Hope-
fully, these women will continue to keep up that Petrel spirit
next season; although noncompetitive, this fun varsity sport
is much-appreciated encouragement to the Basketball teams.

The Oglethorpe Tennis players put a lot of effort
and energy into their sport. They enjoy the game
and excel at it, and are rewarded handsomely. The
gratuitous encouragement from the coach is a nice
incentive for busting up the body and bodily harm
does happen. Heather Zardus, notorious for her

incredible dives, could tell you all about it! When
a puny yellow-green ball and a giant fly-swatter
powered by pure muscle combine, a deadly 100
m.p.h. projectile rockets across the court. When
that projectile hits unsuspecting people, including
the teammates, the screams can be heard through-
out the campus, especially when they hit below
the belt an unfortunate experience for the brave
Mike Eis.

ve: Andrew Shahan, Joris van Daalen, Coach Gery Groslimond, and Andras Unger watch fellow players through the safety of the links.

Below Left: Mike Eis shows follow-through on a powerful forehand hit. Watch out for fast, low balls, Mike!

Below Center: Rosa Serulle and Lorie Terry thank Wesleyan for a good game.

Below Right: Senior Tanja Van Der Krabben's power serve knocks the opponent off her feet.

It was a tough riiyme for Dave. A regular man of the sea, he had been trying to wave the sails all morning. Worse, he had not been able

to get through to his broker about those stares of shock in the aquarium company, and yesterday his son had told him a light why

about growing the mass. To top it all off, Dave's blows started to need whenever he tossed his Lemper. But Dave had no clue that his

bubbles were a trout. Poor Dave. He had inherited his grandfather William's candy hearse. Every sword he weighed came out

scrambled. Yep, old Dave Spooner was truly a blip off the old chock.-Benjamin Leggett, Geek Week's Dark and Stormy Petrel entry

he Actress was not enjoying being tied to the concrete slab with less clothing on that could be made from a full size handkerchief. The
roducer said that it was so they could save money on costumes, but she doubted that this was really the case. To make matters worse It was
old, wet,rainy,and overall dreary this day on location. While the crew members and the actors portraying the evil cult members probably
/ere not enjoying the weather either, they were obviously enjoying the effects that it was having on her. Aside from the obvious physical
ignals, several of them would mess up their lines on purpose so they would have to do several retakes.
