Hello,

If you are reading this, then 1.) the yearbook has been completed, pubhshed, and dis-
tributed or 2.) someone has managed to steal this letter unbeknownst to me. In the case of
the former rather than the latter, the publication of this book represents all of my hopes and
dreams coming to fruition. Wait. It would be incredibly selfish of me to take all of the credit
for this. First of all, I would like to take the time to show my unbounded appreciation for my
staff for, without their creative energy and countless work hours, this book would continue
to be the punchline to a joke that was never really that funny. Victoria Payne, Bissell McWil-
iiams, Lorna Burrows, and Amir Ghalehgol deserve as much gratitude as I for their dedica-
tion to this great endeavor. I, of course, cannot forget to thank our advisor, Natalie Dietz, who
served as Yamacraw errand girl, and Dean Doyle for being committed to making this a real
ity.

This is not just a book with pictures in it. This is a reflection of who we are and the
place we have chosen to be the destination for intellectual, social, and spiritual (yes spiritual)
growth. Without this serving as a record of where we were and a guide to where we are go-
ing, we are bound to make unnecessary and possibly damaging errors. This is a testament to
faith. The belief that you can achieve the seemingly impossible as long as you maintain your
focus.

Initially, when I agreed to take on the job of Yamacraw Editor-in-Chief and "Revival-
ist", I thought it would be a fitting and final gift to my peers and the University who both
have went far too long without a yearbook. I felt it would be the one thing I would be remem-
bered for. I realize now that the latter was not as admirable. Memories, legacies are created
everyday. No 'book' will secure your place in the hearts and minds of those who encounter
you on your journey through life.

If you take anything from my 'self-righteous' and 'indulgent' rambling, please take
this: Never give up. Don't ignore that little voice ii^idf^ou that keeps urging you toward
what's right, what's true. Believe in yourseH". Dor^'t be afraid to go against the tide because,
at the end of the day, ail you liave, on this mortal coil, iS yourself. There are so many things
tliat I w ant to. need to say to so many of you touched my life over the past 4 years. I pray
know deep inside what they are, So, without any further pomp and circumstance, ladies ari
yenilemen, I am proud to present to you the Yamacraw.

Jt/pcated in the heart of the posh Brookhaven community is Oglethorpe
University. It stands with its neo-gothic architecture, lording over the
neighborhood, constantly serving as a reminder of the importance of education
and the arts. Little is known about this intellectual fortress... until now. Hidden
beneath the walls of this fair campus lies stories of times past and a legacy richer^
than any large dollar amount.

4 Campus Life

The legacy of Oglethorpe University stems back to the 18th century at its
previous location in Midway, Georgia.The raison d'etre of old Oglethorpe is
to found in the determination of Georgia Presbyterians to establish in the state
an institution for the training of ministers. Chartered on December 21, 1835,
the University commenced actual operations on January 1, 1838, at Midway, a
small village near Milledgeville. At the time there w^gg^a^gut 125 students and 6
faculty members.

Campus Life f

The school's cumculum
consisted principally of courses
dealing with Greek, Latin, classical
literature, theology, and a surprising
variety of the natural sciences.
Admission requirements were geared
to the cuniculai- structure; thus,
one seeking to enter Oglethorpe
as a freshman was required to
exhibit before a faculty committee
a reasonable command of Caesar's
Commentaries, Cicero's Orations,
the works of Virgil, the Gospels of
the Greek Testament, Latin and Greek
granamar, arithmetic, and geography.

Among the most
distinguished of the faculty during
this early era were such men as
Nathaniel Crawford, professor of
mathematics and astronomy and son
of the famous William Crawford,
and Joseph LeConte, destined to
world fame for his work in the field
of science; and James Woodrow, an
uncle of Woodrow Wilson and the first
teacher in Georgia to hold the Ph.D.
Her best known alumnus was the
poet Sidney Lanier. Prior to 1860, the
Bachelor of Arts was the only earned
degree conferred by the institution; but
there early developed the practice of
awarding a second degree, the Master
of Arts to any alumnus of three years'

standing who was
"of good moral
character and who
could show that
he was engaged
in some industrial
or professional
pursuit.

By the
close of the 1850s,
thanks largely to
the able leadership
of President
Talmage, the
institution had

reached a new plateau of financial
solidarity and academic soundness;
but both were soon shattered by the
outbreak of the Civil War. Although
student enrollment at the beginning
of the term in October of 1860 was as
large as that of the preceding year, by
the following fall, it had fallen sharply
as students (as well as some faculty)
departed to serve in the Confederate
forces.

The collapse of the
Confederacy delivered a heavy blow
to the school, since her endowment by
1 865 had come to consist largely of
Confederate notes and bonds.

At that time, the trustees
concluded that further efforts towards

restoring the vigor of the school, in
its present location, were hopeless;
they resolved, therefore, to transfer
the University to Atlanta, partly
because that city had recently replace4
Milledgeville as the state capital, ^
partly because economic conditions
there appeared to be more favorable.
At the same time, the determined
to convert the institution into a real
university through the addition of new
schools and departments.

With a faculty of five
professors in the college, six
instructors in the law department, and
three teachers in the University high
school, the new Oglethorpe opened
its doors on October 4, 1870, under
the presidency of Dr. David Wills, a
prominent Presbyterian minister. Its j
location was the site now occupied |
by the Atlanta City Hall. But the |

move failed to bring the anticipated I
success. Largely because of the sever^
economic dislocations following in l
the wake of the war, Oglethorpe foundJ
herself faced with the bankruptcy by
the fall of 1872. Thereupon, the Syno^
of Georgia directed that operations be^
permanently discontinued. With that
event, seemingly, the institution had
reached the end of its existence. -^

The ensuing chapter in her \
histoi7 is synonymous with the name ,
of Thomwell Jacobs, who had first \
come to Atlanta in 1909 to serve as |

executive secretary in a campaign
to raise $150,000 for Agnes Scott
College. By 1912, his thinking had
crystallized into a determination
to reestablish Oglethorpe. His
first appeal for support was to the
Presbyterian Minister's Association
of Atlanta; his next step was to visit
101 Presbyterian churches in the
east, from each of which he secured a
contribution of one thousand dollars
or more toward the restoration of the
school as a Presbyterian institution.
Appropriately enough, the first
Presbyterian congregation visited
had been that at Milledgeville. In all,
more than half a million dollars were
given or subscribed toward the goal,
about half of the sum coming from
individuals and groups in the city
of Atlanta itself. In such a manner
did Oglethorpe re-arise. Chartered
on May 8, 1913, the University
had its physical regeneration with
the laying of the cornerstone of the
first building (the present Phoebe
Hearst) on January 21, 1915, in the
presence of some of the alumni of
1860 and 1861. On the same day,
the board of directors formally
named Jacobs to the presidency.

In the following year,
the leaders of the new enterprise
offered it, "Lock, stock, and barrel",
in the words of Dr. Jacobs, to the
General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian Church, but for reasons
not entirely clear, the offer was
rejected. The new school, therefore,
never maintained any formal
relationship with the Presbyterian
Church.

Jacobs envisioned Oglethoipe
as a "living memorial" to James
Oglethorpe and many of the
landmarks and symbols of Oglethorpe
University resulted from this drive
to honor the founder of Georgia.
The Gothic revival architecture was
inspired by James Oglethorpe's
honorary alma mater, Corpus Christi

College, Oxford. The university's
coat-of-arms, which included three
boar's heads and the inscription
Nescit Cedere ('He does not know
how to give up), was based on the
Oglethorpe family seal.

Throughout the 1920s, the in
stitution received extensive contribu-
tions from several individuals. Most
prominent of them were:
J.T. Lupton of Chattanooga,
whose gifts ultimately totaled
about a million and a quarter
dollars (Lupton Hall, built
with his gifts, was opened in
1927); Mrs. Robert J. Lowry,
whose contributions were
about $200,000 (Lowry Hall,
built with money she con-
tributed, was constructed in
1927); Harry P. Hermance,
who contributed $5,000 a
year between 1919 and 1929
toward the construction of
Hermance Stadium; and William R.
Hearst, who gave in all about a quar-
ter of a million dollars (including the
money for the purchase of the pres-
ent Lake Phoebe and its surrounding
area).

By 1929, the situation, as
summarized by Dr. Jacobs, was this:
the University had one building
valued at $425,000, another at
$375,000, still another at $200,000,
a stadium worth $100,000, and
a campus of 600 acres worth
$600,000, giving a total asset value

of $1,850,000. Against this stood
obligations amounting to $450,000,
leaving net assets of $1,400,000.
At about the same time, the student
enrollment stood at approximately
three hundred, the size of the faculty
and staff at forty.

By 1933, however, the general
stability had been shattered by the

impact of the Great Depression.
Enrollment fell, income dropped, and
debts rose sharply. Total indebtedness
rose to well over half a million
dollars and on one crucial occasion
only the time intervention of Bernard
Baruch saved the institution from
foreclosure of a mortgage of about
$240,000. The returning prosperity
of the mid- 1930s brought with it a
gradual restoration of stability in the
affairs of Oglethorpe. The unflagging
zeal of Dr. Jacobs and the untiring
labor of Judge Edgar Watkins, who
for many years was the president of

the board of trustees and chairman of
its executive committee, were of vital
importance in the restoration.

Whatever the final judgment
of Dr. Jacobs' presidency, few wiE
deny that in the area of public rela-
tions he had the touch of genius.
During his tenure, he launched sev-
eral projects that brought national
and even international repute
to the school. One of these was
his abortive effort to bring from
England and Georgia the remains
of James Oglethorpe. Another en-
deavor that attracted widespread
attention was the establishment
in 1931 of a campus radio sta-
tion, WJTL, as an educational
facility for the offering of credit-
carrying courses, a program that
lasted for3 years. Perhaps the best
known of all was the effort to pre-
serve for posterity a cross-view
of twentieth
century life through
the constraction of
a Crypt of Civiliza-
tion; by the time
the door of the
Crypt was closed
in 1940, the story
had become known
thi'oughout the
widtli and breadth
of the land.

Philip
Weltner, known
for his work as
an attorney and
educator, began
a new era at
Oglethorpe

University in 1944. He and a group of faculty
developed a new approach to undergraduate
education called the "Oglethorpe Idea." This
was one of the first efforts at creating a core
curriculum and its aim was to "make a life and
to make a living." The core included courses
in "Citizenship" and "Human Understanding"
as a part of a common learning experience for
Oglethoipe students.

The growth of Oglethorpe University
continued in the 1960s with a facilities
expansion program. In the 1980s Oglethorpe
was classified in the category Liberal Arts I by
the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching. Oglethorpe is now a member
of the Annapolis Group, a collection of the
100 most selective liberal arts colleges.
Oglethorpe continues to be a leader in the
development and implementation of the core
curriculum, which is funded in part by the
National Endowment for the Humanities.

The Jewish Student Union is organized
and run by Jewish students at
Oglethoipe. One goal of this
organization is to create an
renvironment for Jewish students

eeking interaction with others
jWho share their religious

eliefs and holidays. Another
Igoal is to provide an open and
welcoming atmosphere for
students of all faiths who are

nterested in learning more about

e Jewish religion and culture. The
JSU invites all students to participate
in two sponsored events throughout the

chool year. During the fall semester

here is the building of the sukkah during
the Jewish holiday, Sukkot. In the spring
semester the JSU celebrates Passover by
observing the traditional dinner. Both
of these events are held to celebrate and
educate the Oglethorpe community about
the Jewish holidays and beliefs.

A hut, or sukkah, was built on the deck
by the Emerson student center as part
of Sukkot festivities. The sukkah was

Day celebration on April 22nd which
includes environmental speakers,
campus clean-ups, camping trips and
l)on fires. Also, there have been trash
demonstrations to remind people to be
mindful of their material consumption and
increase recylcing awareness.For three years in
a row we have sponsored a "no-driving day"
adequately themed "Mend Your Fuelish Ways"
where members of the Oglethorpe community signed a pledge
stating that on that day they pledge to give up their driving
privi ledges. The no driving day also included gorilla activism
and sidewalk chalk telling student to "Get off your ass and walk
to class."

ECOS asks everyone to hug a tree, kiss a fish and try to do
their part to help save our environment. Every little bit helps.

Alpha Phi Omega is a national co-ed
service fraternity dedicated to the cardi-
nal principles of leadership, friendship
and service.

The Mu Mu chapter rarely com-
mits to any one project. Rather, they
like to spread themselves (hmmm....)
o\ er many different projects that em-
compass the four areas of service: ser-
vice to the college, service to the fraternity,

service to communiy, and service to the nation as par-
ticipating citizens. Examples of service projects done by
APO include volunteering at the Delaney House (a home
for children of broken homes), nursing homes, state parks
and other places in need.

The Oglethorpe Carribean Student
Association is a relatively new
organization on Oglethorpe's campus.
The group is primarily composed of
students from the (duh) Carribean as
well as others from various walks of
life. Through activities such as Carribean
Trivia Night, this organization has managed to
increase awareness about their rich
individual and collective heritage.

Black Student Caucus, aka BSC,
has been on Oglethorpe's campus for a
while now, continuing each year to pro
\ ide awareness to the campus as
well as unity and opportunity to
its members. This year, on the
slate of things to do was Gospel
Night, the Annual Choir Day for
the BSC. Soul Food Night, and the
Talent Show.

February has been the month
when the BSC has really shown
Oglethorpe its true colors, but the or-
ganization is trying to make sure that
Black History and awareness are cel-
ebrated every month in the year.

The International Club is also another

Later they gave us a "Bon Fire". In the

events such as "Indian Night" and the *^..

At some schools, Business majors are looked down
upon by the Physics and Engineering students, claim-
ing that the business program is easy and for those that
don't want the challenge... but how is it that the Ac-
countanting majors leave with the highest starting sala-
ries? (On average, with a Bachelor's Degree, one earn
$42,000 starting out). The students in the Accounting
Society host receptions in which they are able to meet
and mingle with recruiters from large accounting firms
in the Atlanta area as well as other national firms. In ad-
dition, scholarships are awarded through and to students
of the Accounting Society. This networking group also
believes in giving back to future Accounting students.
Despite all the corporate scandals of the present day,
they believe in accountability, integrity, and profession-
alism.

Because the University serves as a "living
leniorial" to the founder of Georgia, it features
lany references to the Ufe and legend of General
fames Oglethorpe. The school yearbook is named
le 'Tamacraw" after the Native American tribe
'ho befriended him and Georgia. This is also the
^roup that made this book possible. Oglethorpe,
indeed, owes a great debt to this group of dedicated
students for all of the countless hours spent in the
iffice, gathering historical and recent information
tbout the University, as well as countless other du-
ies.

This year marks the resurrection of the Yamac-
aw. Though the Yamacraw has the tendency to go
out of publication for several years, hopefully, this issue will be
the one to break this cycle that has served as a detriment to the
preservation of Oglethoipe's legacy.

Urban Dance Steppers, or UDS Illusions, was estab-
lished in January of 2003. The idea of formulating a
dance team with more culture and rhythmic flavor
actually began in late 2002. The founders,
Chantae King and Sonal Narottam, were in the
OU Cafeteria talking about starting another
dance team and their determination drove them
to find equally determined members. So there you
have it. UDS kicked off 2003 by winning a campus
talent show and ended the spring semester with a spec
tacular performance at Stomp the Lawn, performing
with top hip-hop acts, such as TI, Cee-Lo, and Baby D.
UDS Illusions started the 2003-2004 school year with
performances at the Lady Petrels' volleyball games,
cheering them on to victpryfrorp the stands."

The 2003-2004 Petrels return with a new look after bidding
farewell to two four year contributors. With incredible depth
on the perimeter, this Petrels squad will look to utilize its
team speed and strength on the perimeter. Seniors Alyson
; Adkisson and Nichole Gilleland will lead the way from the
outside. Last season Nichole finished second in the SCAC
for three-pointers per game. She and Alyson combined
to shoot a remarkable 36% from the floor. Joining Laine
Bradshaw (8'^' in the SCAC in assists) and Hannah York at
the guard spots are three talented sophomores Megan Elliot,
Erin Flynn and Tiffany Williams. All six of these ladies can
hit the three and are legitimate threats from the outside.
Inside the Petrels return Katie Michalczyk, Julie Colantoni
[and Kirbie Smith. Joining this group are Sophomore Stefie Jo Janssen
jand Freshman Brittany Corbett. Katie was the conferences second leading
Irebounder and Julie finished 6'^ in the conference in scoring. Brittany and
iKirbie will present match-up problems for opponents because of their
[ability to play inside and out. With the leadership of two seniors on the
[perimeter and the addition of four talented newcomers, the 2003-2004
is the most talented from top to bottom.

Oglethorpe Men's Tennis looks to be much improved. With the addition
of two solid freshmen that will contend for high positions, Oglethorpe
has better depth. Daniel Close and
Paul Woodham return to add valued
leadership and along with Freshman
Drue Malone will contend for the top
spots. Freshman John Esterline joins
two year letterman Chris Peck in
giving us good mid depth. SR Aaron
Whitworth moves from #4 to battle

I

Chris Pape at #6. Our doubles will be
stronger, and lends hopes of raising
our level of Conference play as they
strive for an overall winning record.

The Lady Petrels tennis Team

Although young with 3 freshman and two sophomores, Oglethorpe's
Women's Team looks much improved. Three-year Letterman Danielle
Wright returns but will be pushed by exchange student Celine Thimel for

e top position. Frosh Antoinette Niland looks
ecure in the #3 spot, and may challenge upward as
e season progresses. Tiffany Williams and Ashley
orrison will add solid depth as they return in the
pring after Volleyball and Soccer seasons. Caroline
ing, Lauren Bundy and Maggie Khoury will add
k '^ ^ ^pompetitiveness at the bottom of the slate. With some

mL^ /^^ ^Biard work, the Women's team hopes to improve on
^^Blk \. w^m^^^ years winning 8-7 record and 9^'' place finish in

^^^^^^^^^^^^5|ne Conference.

nlike most faculty at other uni-

ersities, the faculty along with the

ver-important staff of Oglethorpe

niversity are... special. They pos-

5SS that certain "something"

that makes stu- \2J

aeels clamour to hear their deep and in-
sightful lectures on topics ranging from eugen-
ics and its implications to ancient sex toys that
are now regarded as pre-historic art. Regard-
less what is said about the faculty and staff of
Oglethoipe University, one thing rings espei-
cally true and that is without them attending
this fine institution would not be an uncommon
experience. Thank you for your constant sup-

The faculty and staff talent show was in-
deed a rare opportunity for students to see pro-
fessors as well as other members of the admin-
istrative staff outside of a professional context.

Spectators were treated to musical per-
formances from the likes of Chad Yarborough,
Carl Lubbe, and Dr. John Orme, original spo-
ken word pieces by Ms. Janet Grant and Dr.
Chandler, and a show-stopping skit performed
by members of the Psychology, Mathematics,
and Education departments.

Despite all this talent, only one could be
crowned winner. Ms. Janet Grant won the cov-
eted Maggiano's Dinner for two as well as the
adulation of the audience.This event showed
all in attendance that the talents of the faculty
extend beyond the classrooms and their^
spected offices.

Members of the Ed.,
Psych., and Math
\departments re-enact
a scence from your
"average" Ogletho-
rpe classroom.

Heartbreak never sounded
so good! Carl Lubbe bares
his soul for the audience.

Victoria Payne

Senior Class President

While at Oglethorpe University:

I have been in several organiza-
tions during my tenure here: the
Stormy Petrel, Yamacraw, Ren-
dez-Vous, Black Student Caucus,
Ambassadors, Omicron Delta
Kappa, Beta Omicron Sigma, the
Gospel Choir, Oglethorpe Student
Association, Programming Board,
and Senate.

What I think about myself:
/ am a child of God, motivated
by my God-given purpose and
desire to make a difference in this
world. I am a poet, a writer, a
photographer, an artist, a singer, a
songwriter, an actress, a Queen, a
role model, a motivator, an enthu-
siast, an optimist and a Christian.
I love to share my smile and con-
tentment with others. I have goals
of becoming a contracted-singer,
an actress, a producer of music,
a middle school choir teacher, a
free-lance photographer, a beauty
professional (a beautician), a
wife, and a mother I am also a
product of what my parents have
poured in to me as well as my
experiences. The most important
thing is that I love the Lord, and
I want to do His will for my life.
We can 't make it throught life on
own; we all need somebody.

These losers are way too cool to participate in a senior picture retake. So, as punishment, their
I.D. pictures will have to suffice for their senior picture. Some say the pictures are awful and
others... Hey! You be the judge. Let this serve as a lesson for all to support Yamacraw and class
events!

Junior Class President

Major: English and PoUtics
Favorite Color: Pink, pink, and
more pink

Quest: To save the world, obvi-
ously

Fave Junior Class Activity:
Trivia Night at Mellow Mushi-oom
- Even if the Juniors can't win at
trivia, at least we know how to
heckle other teams and eat lots of
pizza!

Fave Word: Cornucopia
Bestest College Experiences:
Alpha Phi Omega, summer study
abroad in Florence, com maz-
ing, concerts, movie nights in the
dorm, arguing about COR, classes
outside on the academic quad, ex-
cursions to Atlanta, whining about
cafeteria food, all of it!
Advice to underclassmen: Get
involved with activities and
friends. They can take you any-
where from hilarious wild goose
chases through Atlanta, spur of the
moment road trips or marching
through campus with blindfolds
on!

Eugene Rivers II

Sophomore Class Presidentl

On December 2nd, 20003, his
fans cheered his name. "Eugene!
Eugene!" Well it did not hap-
pen quite like that, but I had fans
nonetheless. So, remember you
are all fans of mine. This is not a
funny story, but the Public Speak-
ing final was the greatest. Hey, if
anyone needs me to inspire a large
group of people with my great
skills, please call INS-SPIRE!
This, like my ability to speak in
front of people and be as cool as
Bernard, is just a joke. Thanks for
your support at the final!

*The above photo was taken before
Eugene murdered Bernard after he
yelled "Don t Suck" at Eugene's

By the look on his face, Meredith
miist've told Brent something he likes!
