1963 was the year that we'll never see again. In
those days people were wearing simpler clothes,
shorter hair, and had quicker smiles. Men wore
white tee-shirts, sat on the front porch steps and
smoked Winston cigarettes.
A car was a tank filled with twenty five cent
gasoline. A "Fuel Crisis" was a fiat wallet.
Women believed that marriage was an ambition,
not an inhibition of their lives.
Ten dollars bought a lot of groceries.
Viet Nam (remember? Indo-China), and the
Draft was an inconvenience, not a flight.
Living was easy in 1963-64.
Music was finger popping, rolled up levis, and
"My Baby Just Left Me." And couples slow
danced cheek to cheek, and twisted the night
away with Chubby.
Mao had erected the great wall of silence. Rus-
sians were waving their Nukes. Kids wondered if
they would live to '68.
Camelot was the Celtic King and his fine queen
in Washington D.C. Living was easy in 1963, until
the King died on a Texas street, November 22,
1963; and few more kings died the same way, a
bullet in the brain. A Mr. Speck was popular with
the Nurses.
And easy living was blown away by the storm of
change. Life got rock hard and this Generation
screamed out in pain over the Radio, and we all
knew that it would never be the same.

What's to Remember?

Remember when people used
to go out at night and leave their
doors unlocked. Remember when
neighbors were better protection
than cops, and assassinations
were events buried in history
books.
It's nothing new to discover
possessions gone and doorlocks
shattered.
Kitty Genovese died slowly
while 37 "Neighbors"' witnessed.
Rose Kenned> attended two
state funerals. Sirhan Sirhan. an
Arab of questionable character,
snuffed out a better man. And
many people still have their
doubts about John's death.
"God made man. and Sam
Colt made them equal." This old
western slogan has gained new
life in our times. Just chew on
that one for a while.

"Vote for Nixon He will bring us together." Pollution
is all over the place.
Deformed children struggle to live today, due to some
M.D.'s prescription. Young people know friends that have
flipped out. "You know, the dude took a trip and his brain
went out to lunch and never came back. A bit sad. you say.
We agree, but why?
The rivers and lakes are turning murk\ from Chemical
wastes. Dead fish float down stream, belly up, and the Sa-
vannah river was closed to fishermen. Mercury did the trick,
and a big outlet on the Savannah pumps green waste into the
once brown waters.
POLLUTION
Rl le for hearts and minds
^ by .and, sea and mini-garb
Go up the Savannah and see the clear waters
near the rapids. So clear that one can squat
down and drink from the river like an Indian
hunter probabl} did 400 years ago. But that In-
dian hunter didn't litter the riverbanks with
beer cans.
dui Humanity has one thing going for it. We
poor mortals can change, and not always for the
worse. We mortals can do something.

d'
Boy . . . have things changed :in the
political field. Remember when no one
knew who Agnew was, or what it was?
And Nixon wasn't going to be kicked
around anymore? My how things have
changed. The man for law and order
(Mr. John Mitchell) has been indicted,
the Vice President pleaded no contest
to federal tax evasion charges and
subsquently resigned. Time was when
people would trample over each other
just to look at Spiro T. Agnew. Why,
even in Augusta this stalwart Repub-
lican was warmly welcomed by We
Southern Democrats
Nixon stumped the cities, looking lor
votes: while in '6X at the Chicago
Democratic convention, we showed
ourselves that war was possible in the
United States, even without a "foreign
devil." The Republican Convention in
comparsion was a dull bore.
George Wallace made it big in the
South in the '68 election, and Nixon
won by a slight majority reminiscent of
his margin of defeat to John F. Ken-
nedy in I960.
Nixon and Agnew were sworn in and
we were going to let them "bring us
together."
-
Well things didn't work out that way.
Not with the Viet Nam war, inflation
with a recession (I think this is a
first), forced school bussing, labor
problems, student unrest, terrorist
bombings and the shape of the Paris
Peace Talks table.
Anyway, Nixon ran for reelection
and his chances were ver\ good ..
Nixon gained in popularity by visiting
Russia and by opening up relations
with the Peoples" Republic of China
(Red China). This noble gesture
(recognition of Red China in the
U.N.) cost Taiwan its seat.
Nixon's chances for reelection in '72
looked better when George Wallace
was shot (same thing happened in '68
when Senator Bobby Kennedy was
murdered).
True to predictions, Nixon and Ag-
new won by the largest margin ever.
Their victory was complete ..or was
it?
Agnev\ was forced to resign, but
Nixon hung on. However the breakin
at the Democratic National Headquar-
ters was linked to him. The impeach-
ment process brought more pressure on
Nixon until August 8, 1S>74 when Ni-
xon resigned.
Who now is the winner? Republican'
Democrat? Independent? No! We are!
Our Constitution still works now
on with Historv.

The Editor
Old, staring, grim faces, and one remembers the time
when a fully adult, useful man did not wear his hair
long or a beard. He usually had his hair shorn short
in the style commonly known as the white side wall,
the flat top, or the G.I.
30
Anyone with long hair, unless it was a woman,
was not invited to ordinary people's homes. These
staid, honest people wondered and usually rejected the hirsute man.
Look at these pictures closely, examine them sharply, then glance through the faculty section and see
if you can recognize any of these people. Who knows, maybe one of your present instructors are in these
photos. You can either have a good laugh at his expense, or marvel that he. too. has also changed along
with this school.
31
St;? paBt
is prologue
In this short section we have
seen the change in the styles and
social organization of. this cam-
pus and this country. We are all
products of our environment and
all our past experiences will in-
fluence our decisions and life
styles. Your stay at Augusta Col-
lege should be enjoyable (or at
least memorable).
Where were you when the Viet-
nam war ended (for us, anyway)?
What were you doing when Mar-
tin Luther King was assassinated?
Do you grieve for Bobby Ken-
nedy, P.O.W.S, M.I.A.'s? Has
Augusta changed since the May
'70 riots? Why?
In the rest of this biography
(although other people call it an
"annual" or "yearbook") we will
attempt to accurately portray in
words and pictures, the feelings,
happenings, and if possible . . .
the mediocrity, of 1973-74 Au-
gusta College Community.

Ten years ago, Augusta College was an infant four year
school crawling towards its first graduating class of 1967,
but since that time, Augusta College has stopped crawling
and it is now youthfully walking towards an unknown goal
as an educational institution.
Since those early youthful days of small graduating class-
es, Augusta College has matured as a four year school. Now,
again, it is making those same hesitant steps towards its
development by the recently approved masters program in
Business and Education.
The Business Department was the first to get its post-
graduate school in operation, but Augusta College's Educa-
tion department has also established a graduate studies.
We, the present staff of the year book, do not know how
the school will grow, but in the past ten years, Augusta Col-
lege has grown from a small, provincial junior college to
a respected four year school. Maybe, in the future, Augusta
College will not be known as a college, but as an Univer-
sity of Augusta.

THE PROPOSITION appeared here in fall 1973. This
improvisational theatre group was the first offering of the
Augusta College Lyceum Series. THE PROPOSITION was
well received by the college audience.
The Performing Arts Theatre that same quarter had its
stage (dis) graced by the Augusta Players' production of
"The Boy Friend". "The Boy Friend" was panned by a
biting review in the BELL RINGER. The critic, John Brus-
kin. caught a great deal of harassment from "Those half
baked amateurs."
Alas . . . genius is rarely appreciated.

53
The
Rogues'
Trial
"The Rogue's Trial", a Brazilian play written by Ariano Saussuna,
was produced by the A.C. theatre in spring quarter as their third
world cultural project.
Remarkably the play turned out well, and many of the cast were
outstanding in their individual performances.
The play was also well received by the audience.
55
Angelica
"Sister Angelica", an opera,
was produced by the A.C.
Choir during fall quarter, so
they could raise money for
their trip to Europe. Opera is
a welcome addition to the
P.A.T.
The photos in this section
takes the reader from audi-
tions to opening night. "The
longest journey starts with the
first step."
"She Stoops to Conquer" is a comedy of manners. A sophisticated play
that derives most of its humor from the slickness of the actors' deliveries.
But that's in a different place. At Augusta College, this comedy of manners
was reduced to a rally of errors due to various on stage mishaps like a leg
of a table that fell off during a bar-room scene, premature scene changes,
and that constant fear of the neophyte actor forgetting a vital line.
But like all good players, the A.C. student actors brazenly marched across
the stage, said their lines, and the audience rewarded the young actors' efforts
by chuckles, laughter, and howls.
That's the purpose of a comedy: to make people laugh, have a good time,
and make them awake the next morning with a trace of a smile on their
sleepy dull lips.

Brother Band
Earl Scruggs Revue was the second and main item of attraction
at the 1974 Spring Concert.
Brother Band, the warm up group, warmed up the audience
so much that most of them retreated to the lobby.
The few dedicated hard rock fans that remained to listen to
Brother Band, had their lives made miserable by a group of deaf
hog callers that specialized in sloppy drinking, dancing before
the stage, and acting like a group of escaped juveniles.
Brother Band got big brothered off the stage, and Earl Scruggs
Revue walked out, plugged up their instruments, turned off half
the amps, and proceeded to play some good Nashville music for
the re-assembled audience.
But the student marshals didn't have time to listen, for they
were too occupied with the preservation of that fragile commodity,
order.
Oh well, can't please everybody that was Spring Concert
'74.

tube; College skits, meticulously planned farces;
Saxophones, suits, and balloons, the essentials
that completed the "Dance". And the sweet heart

Navigators are a Christian spirtual organiza-

college, several other similiar organization
have been formed.
Augusta College Jaycees and a social fraternity, Phi
Beta Epsilon shared the honor of "The Club of Year"
award in 1974. While on the subject of clubs, Augusta
College chartered 7 new organizations this year: Augusta
College Art Association, Augusta College Archery Club,
Christian Science Organization, Campus Crusade for
Christ, A.C. Predental and Paradental Association, Wom-
en and Friends, a feminist organization, and Graduate
Business Association.
Augusta College, besides being a socially active campus
in the way of clubs, is also a commuter school. One
advantage of a commuter school is that an older person
can further his education.
Some of the older students requested that a day care
center be established at Augusta College. In 1972, Augusta
College opened a day care center. Since that time, the
College has advanced into the area of primary education
with the opening of a child development center that will
be opened in Fall 1974.

1973-74 Student Govern-

industrious year with the
creation of an ill-fated car
poo!, successful opening of
a coffeehouse, getting a free-
phone in the C.A.C.. and
changing the withdrawal

SGA shown concern for
the student commuter dur-

the fuel situation improved
around April, and man; of
the poolees returned to their
old wasteful habits.
In late September 1973.
SGA opened a coffeehouse
on the A.C. campus. The
opening night featured the
Rice Brothers, and the stu-
dents jammed the Chateau.
The coffeehouse has proved
to be more durable than
the car pool.
Dave Grande, the SGA
President, worked hand in
hand with th Administra-
tion and Bell Telephone to
get a free phone in the lobb\
of the Student Activities
Building.
Mr. Grande was also in-
strumental in getting a
needed change in academic
policies with the extention
of the Withdrawal passing

where the student can
change his status in a class
from a graded to an audited

ELECTIONS: Sign up, anybody can, but has got to be a

President this year due to a failing average.
Spend all night, actually several nights, making posters.
This year was strange the freshman read the posters,
but the upperclasspeople pored over the platforms. Some
of them snorted, made comments, "Pie in the sky. Ultimate
in Ivory tower idealism." One student wrote a letter to
the Bellringer about one candidate's platform which would
cost each student 50 dollars a quarter in student activities
fees.
The candidates got out, shook them warm hands, and
waited for election night.
Election night rolled around, and some lost, and some
won, and some had dreams about bigger things.

AOYED
CrrEENST,
The southern
male like many
males in this coun-
try believed that
woman's place was
behind the stove,
rearing children,
and going to
church.
The feminist
movement has been
agitating for over a
hundred years to
destroy this mascu-
line vision. In 1919.
the suffragette
gained the right to
vote for their sis-
ters. The late sixties
were marked by an
upsurge of
woman's struggle
for equality. At
Augusta College, a
group of women
banded together
this year in order to
further this struggle
and created an or-
ganization called,
"Women and
Friends."

Augusta College Food Co-op.
This spring at A.C., some hungry students
banded together and created a food co-
op. This organization served as a channel
where the student could obtain food at
wholesale prices.
The Co-op doesn't handle caviar or cham-
pagne, but it gives a student a good deal
for the staff of life. And many A.C. students
are thankful for its existence.
W.C.A.C.-T.V. is now on the Air.
This new college media sprang onto the
C.A.C. television monitors during spring
quarter 1974.
A journalism 101 class felt that the A.C.
newspaper was inadequate in getting the
news to the student. They went ahead and
rigged up a news show seen in the student
center at 12:00 p.m. every Monday and
Wednesday during that quarter.
Like many other things at Augusta Col-
lege, the television station was a learning
experience to the students.
FOOD CO'OP

GROWTH
USTA
LEGE
Augusta College in the past ten years has
expanded from the early days of a college
in four class buildings to a now sprawling
academic complex.
In 1963. a student could often walk to his
class in five minutes from the old student center
in Academic two. Now, in the year 1974,
students who are taking art in the ceramics
lab will often times drive from the C.A.C. to
this art class in an old warehouse on the far
side of the campus. Quite a change from the
small tucked away campus on the hill.
Augusta College is, and perhaps always be,
primarily a commuter school. 1963, the parking
lot across from Academic one resembled a
plowed field. Physical plant would often gravel
the lot to keep the mud holes from developing
into lakes.
82
Spring 1970, the first and only time
that the Augusta College student body,
ever worked en masse, protested, by
a parking strike, the wretched parking
lots. Less than a quarter's time, day-
dreaming students could look out the
windows of Academic one and see high
speed earth movers scooping up the
dark earth of the parking area. Then,
in the break between summer and fall
'70, the parking lots were asphalted,
and the student body crumbled back
into apathy.
84
This school has been undergoing change
for a long time, but when change occurs,
old landmarks must die underneath the dozer
blade, the tempered chisel point of a ninety
pound jack hammer, and the crow bar in
the hands of a strong backed man.
KB
But often, these same strong, hard
working men also construct buildings,
parking lots, and new roads that have
altered the face of this campus to the
better. The College is gradually losing
the atmosphere of an old arsenal, and
this atmosphere is being replaced with
a more peaceful, and scholarly air.

The Many Faces
The 1974 Jaguar Basketball team had, what can
be bluntly called, a medicore year. They won 14,
lost 11. But, at least, they did not drag home
w ith their spotted tails between their legs.
However, credit must be given to the top four
members of the team, for they are responsible from
keeping most of the games in the loss column.
Mike Shea, an export from Boston, a forward,
nicknamed "Turkey", was the team's leading scor-
er with 402 points for the year, 16.1 points a
game, and 168 field goals.
Henry Davis, a forward from New York city,
also known as Chicken man for his habit of con-
suming buckets of the Colonel's best; Davis also
gnawed on a few baskets this year with 352 points,
14.1 per game, and clunked in 145 field goals.
William "Chick" Ludman, 5T0" guard from New
Jersey, was selected as the most valuable player
this year for his ball handling on the court, shook
up the roost. He made 322 points for the season,
12.9 per game, and egged the basket with 138
field goals.
Jay Bower, an expatriate from New Jersey, held
down the center's position for this year's Jaguars,
due to his towering six foot nine inch presence
on the court. His team mates called him, "Lappa".
Bower held his own and closed up the hen house
with 264 total points, 10.5 a game, and garnered
118 field goals.
Mike Houts: total points, 203, points per game,
8.1, field goals. 85; Lenny New: 201, 8.0, 79~; Bob
Miller: 105. 4.2, 40; Barry Parker: 53. 2,8, 20;
Jimmy Rushing: 81, 4.5. 30'; Doug Eskew: 12, 1.3.
4; Carl Jones: 4, .5, 1; Roy Franke: 9. 1.2. 3.
102
of Basketball
Basketball, a non-contact sport, was developed
by a thinking individual who wanted to play an ac-
tive indoor sport during the harsh northern win-
ters.
Basketball has taken root in the south, a land of
mild winters, but just because the winters are mild,
that means nothing. The Cheerleaders, the
Coaches. President Christenberrv. and the players
take a harsh approach to the game. They want to
win.
Sometimes during the game, some of the players
would like to stop and take a shower. But the}
don't and like the rest of the learn then
hustle . . .
105
Aqua-Jags, one of Augusta College's recent athletic innovations, had a fairly good season this year. They won ten
meets, lost three. This might not sound impressive, but considering the size of the team, eight swimmers and four
divers, the A.C. tankmen did very well.
The new year presented a challenge to this small team, because the Aqua-Jags lost Doug Fleck, who was selected as
the most valuable swimmer last year, and Norman Waters, a promising diver, who quit because of personal reasons.
But the Aqua-Jags closed ranks and swam on to a moderately successful year.

And Still More
Basketball . .
(Of Course)
"Hey Girl, what you doing tonight?" a young gent asks.
"I'm going to the basketball game," she said in a sweet,
pleasant voice.
The Iron Man. Doug Fleck thinks about the thousand
meters of swimming practice. And Iron Man awaits the
meet that will prove his nickname.
A Video tape camera captures the Jaguars warming up
under the basket. The camera is the coach's electronic third
eye; and he will wait till the end of the game to view his
boys' performance on the tee-vee.
George Inman, a diver, a bike rider, and a master of a 450
Honda; he's got to make a clean dive. And in those final
moments before that leap, George must master his own
body.
Water, without that precious liquid man would thirst to
death. But this young man is trying to defeat the water,
human opponents, and the clock. Sometimes his body fails
him and he does not win. Maybe he will take second, or
perhaps third, but he swims on like a person swimming
through the water of life.
A camera stops a fast moving ball, some blurred hands,
a pass, and two points in the making.
Basketball, the new all American sport; a kid dribbles
the ball down the street and he listens to the inflated leather
glove making that pleasing, cu-thunking noise.
Ten years later, he is standing with his tearn-mates and
his coach; the kid is listening to a different tune, the national
anthem being played in a nearly empty Georgia seaport city
coliseum.
The kid never knew ten years ago that he would be playing
for Augusta College, but since that time, he had developed
quick hands, fast feet, a couple of tricky moves, and some
sharp eyes.
A coach saw him play one day. and now the kid is there,
breathing in the big time.
"Give me a J, give me an A. give me a G," screams a small girl
with neatly cropped blonde hair.
She wants the crowd to roar, and roar so loud that the huge, metal,
roof support girders will shake.
"Give me a R." screams the girl as she leaps into the air. She had
done her best, but the crowd is still silent.
Pat Mulherin, a "Sports Announcer" Jim Claffey, the Aqua-Jags's premier diver, made it to the '74

In the ten years since this school has been accredited,
people, actually college students, have done strange,
very strange things called fads. We don't have pictures
of A.C. students burning their draft cards, or stuffing
telephone booths, or swallowing goldfish, but we have
a picture of some A.C. students playing a fantasy with
a grave. That was ten years ago.
In 1974, the A.C. students were also involved in
a new fad: streaking. Streaking is a sport in which
the student takes his/her clothes off and dashes through
a crowded place, such as a cafeteria or a street lined
by curious people.
117
Homecoming usually conjures up in the minds of
the sentimental alumni the glorious times of youth.
but to the A.C. Student Homecoming was not
glorious ... for the Jaguars were defeated.
However, the Homecoming week was not a complete
loss, for the students relieved themselves of academic
pressures by battering a well-preserved '62 Plymouth
sedan into a ragged pile of metal.
A bonfire and pep rally were held on the archery
field, Thursday night, but the students did not come
out in great numbers due to a faulty scheduling of
events. The Lyceum Series presented the Alard String
Quartet; The English Department had a Western
American Poet, R.P. Dickey reading, that night. The
Bonfire reduced itself to ashes before a sparse crowd.
The next night, Friday night, posters were scream-
ing, "Whup'em Jags", or "Stomp the Blazers" and
other such exhortations. These messages failed to
inspire the Jaguars onto glory, for they lost the home-
coming game to Valdosta State; 67-54. And this
loss mangled August College's chances for being
among the top three in the conference.
Awards, in keeping with tradition, were given out
at half time. The A.C. Jaycees, who had won the
"Spirit on the Hill" award in 1973, also won the
same award this year.
Nancy Bennett, a demure young lady, the epitome
of southern young womanhood, was crowned home-
coming queen by the President of the College, George
Christenberry. After receiving the crown, Ms. Bennett
gave President Christenberry an enthusiastic hug of
affection.
After the game, the Augusta College Students
sulked out of the gym and soberly marched over
to the C.A.C. They were not happy for their team
failed them by losing the most important game of
the season. But the students consumed some liquid
refreshment, danced to the music of a local rock
band, and gradually forgot the shock of defeat.
'But wait 'till next year!'
THE AMERICAN PASTIME
REALLY!!?
The Augusta College Aqua-Jags
are the kids that spend two hours
each day, during the season, swim-
ming. They come home at night,
crack their books and study, then
on that big day they swim their
hearts out.
But these tankman of the hill also
find time to be involved with the
doings of Augusta College.
Do you think you got the stamina
to be a swimmer?

Sports are not exclusively limited to a
group of young gentlemen wearing basket-

lungful of air.
Sports are also young gentlemen standing
on the grassy area in front of the C.A.C.,
talking to some fair, young ladies.
And a sport could also be a guy making

Augusta College's baseball team suffered through another year with 12 wins and 16
losses overall.
The top five men of the team were Carl Jones, .234; Cliff Russell, .277;
Charlie Tillman, .280; Mike Crawford, .231; and Keith Ford, .338. Jimmy Lewis
led the team with 17 runs batted in.
The team is basically good, but it was plagued by too much bad luck. A fan can
leave at the bottom of the seventh inning with the score board registering A.C. 13,
Visitors 1.
The next morning, the specator gets up, opens the newspaper to the sports page
and sees: "Jaquars wiped out, 14-13,"
An example of homeric fate?

Augusta College's Golf team had a good year:
1 2 wins, 4 defeats. The Collegiate golfers then went
to a South Atlantic Conference tourney held at
Jekyll Island during the middle of May.
The team did poorly by taking fifth place out of
the possible six positions: from the home of the

"Won 1, lost 13." sounds like the old Mets, no!

Whs did they do so badly? The main reason: the Jag's
top seeded netter David Moret/, first tennis scholarship
athlete at Augusta College, was declared academically
ineligible. His loss from the team threw a great burden
on the racket of the number two scholarship player, John
MacNeish. He did well, but the rest of the team didn't.
But John will not be back next year, due to tne tact that
Augusta College lacks adequate facilities, (Tennis Courts
with lights).

The prettiest girl, as usual, won the 1973 Christ-
mas Belle Ball. But this year's Belle's election was
marred by a brief whiff of scandal. Supposely, a well
known member of the student body, while working
at the polls, was accused of placing two into the
ballot box. After a considerable amount of legalistic
procedure, this student was exonerated of the crime.

Wilted corsages, freshly pressed suits moist from steam

AND

This year, we had six or eight photographers
to work for us. They came, they snapped the
shutter, and left. Some of them, we were glad
to see leave, but some of the others, we wish
had stayed.
Some of our better photographers would
come in the office with this strange look burning
on their faces. They would snicker and deposit
a brown manila envelope. CHAMPION
CLASP NO. 97. 10 x 13. on the Editor's
desk.
The Editor, I thinks his name is Flanagan,
would jump up and sing an old-fashioned Irish
song of thanksgiving, for we were suffering
from a drought of photographs. He would open
the envelope and scream. "No. no. this is not
what I wanted."
The offended photographer would get petu-
lant and leave. He would come back six months
later with the assigned photos. This section is
dedicated to these heroes ('.') of the photograph-
ic art.
Look, behold these photographs, perhaps you
might even see yourself, if you do don"t
blame us.
To Be
Continued
Inanimate objects such as this bridge have
tempted our photographers' eyes. They also
took shots of campus security writing out
tickets, co-eds studying, an easy rider cruis-
ing the campus, and a student fixing to nod
over his books.
And that's campus life, and the camera
serves as a chronicler and recorder of the
doings that occur on this campus.

"Oh. if these girls get any uglier - they'd bark,"
said a lounging student in the cafeteria, one grim
mid-February day.
Pictures appeared in the Lobby display case the
next day. People clustered around the pictures.
"Hm, I've changed my mind," said the nov. undoubt-
ing Thomas to his buddy.
Ten beautiful women, their smiling faces captured
on 8 by 10 glossy photos. Young men stared, but
the girls glared with illconcealed envy.
"Why can't I be up there." said a beautiful girl.
"I don't know why," replied her friend.
"That's the breaks." said a smart gentleman. Hinging
the remark into that girl's face like salt on an open
wound.
The ten women were sponsored by various campus
organizations, such as Phi Beta Epsilon. Student
Nurses, Alpha Delta Pi and the Jaycees, Navigators,
S.A.E.. The Black Student Union. A.C. Choir. Inter-
national Students. Pi Kappa Phi. and Zeta Tau Alpha.
Some of the girls got out and faced the masses,
said nice things, and did the lady's version of shaking
hands with a meek, yet eager smile.
A fraternity had a car bash.
The A.C. Jaguars lost the game, and Nancy Bennett
(sponsored by Phi Beta Epsilon) was crowned Home
Coming Queen 1974: and Beauty made itself known
again at Augusta College.

A few well earned thanks
the "Big Brass" comes out,
and a ritual renews itself.
Monday Night is deadline night for the Bellringer.
That's the night when Editor Richard Crabbe edits
and gives form to the news copy that can be
anything from pencil scribbiings on a coffee spat-
tered page from a note book to a neatly typed
story, which is the exception, not the rule.
Tuesday. The paper is delievered to the typeset-
ters. They spend the day setting up the copy, so
it can be printed.
A news writer for the Bellringer discovers that
an Atlanta politican is speaking at noon. The writer
arms himself with a note pad and a leaky ink
pen. He covers and condenses the politican's pre-
election ramblings into 300 words of copy.
Wednesday. The editors wander down to the
typesetters to proofread the paper.
[f the typesetters had a good Tuesday, the editors'
jobs will be easy, but that's another exception of
collegejournalism.
The Editors spend their time searching for mis-
spelled words, insulting each other, and telling jokes
best heard underneath a gallows.
Thursday. In the morning the paper is sent to
the printers. There it is printed and sent back to
Augusta. Meanwhile the assorted staffers have been
covering campus news for most of the week. The
paper is put out in the stands late that afternoon.

RINGER
OF AUGUSTA COLLEGE
A Typical
Reader
Friday morning. A student picks up tin Bellringer. He discovers
that the Coffeehouse will be open this weekend, a movie will
be shown at the P.A.T. Tuesday night, and Student Govern-
ment muddled its way through another meeting.
Saturday night. .An upraised hand is clutching a beer bottle.
The base of the hand is stained with ink. The buttle is rapidly
drained.
Sunday night. The editor and staffers are sitting behind then-
typewriters. They are writing.
"The BELLRINGER is published weekly except during final
exams and vacations, at Augusta Georgia, by the students of
Augusta College."

RSIS
Augusta College for a long time had
a pretense of an art department. In the
past three years, the department has
expanded from an emphasis in drawing
and painting to etching and ceramics.
Ceramics has proved to be one of the
more popular additions of the art de-
partment. Many non-art majors have
taken the ceramics courses in order to
construct useful, yet creative clay ob-
jects.

SUN 'N' FUN
Anybody for
a Beer?
"Hot damn," shouted the liber-
ated student while getting into his
car.
"What are you so happy about?"
asked a pale student, toting an arm-
ful of books.
"I'm going to Clarks Hill."
"What's up there?"
"Field Day."
"Oh," said the tired student. He
was going to the library, but he
didn't feel like it. He wanted to
go somewhere and sleep. His eyes
were baggy, and'he had a sneaking
suspicion that his mind was starting
to go. He had bumped into a girl
that morning and said, "I'm sorry
sir."
She had laughed at that apology,
but he still felt like some fool.

FIELD
DAY
"You want to go, I won't be there all day'?'* asked the happy student.
"I like to." said the pale student, as he rubbed his bloodshot eyes. "But I got to study."
"Shove them books," said the field day goer. "Just cram them."
The pale student absent mindedly crawled into the car and sat down. He dumped his books on the floor board.
"Have a beer."
The pale student had a cold one shoved into his hand. He clumsily pulled back on the ring and took a sip. "That's
good," he exclaimed and the student took a deep gulp.
The two students started the forty mile drive to Clark Hill. On the way. the pale student drank three beers,
got a little giddy, and told a few good ones that he had heard.
Augusta College recreation center; a big sandy beach, couple of floating docks, cement picnic tables scattered
about the piney hill; a big, blue and white metal building rests contently at the top of the hill in the sunlight.
Few students sit at the tables drinking beer in the shade. Lots of the students are sprawling lazily on the beach
like winter fatigued seals basking in the late spring sun light. Two non-conformists are playing ping-pong in the
oven like interior of the buildina.

An old green slab-sided pick up truck cau-
tiously backs its way through the pine trees
down the hill.
An alert student croaked to his friends, "It's
Flanagan it's Flanagan with the beer:"
Peter J. Flanagan, secretary of the A.C.
Jaycees, had arrived with two kegs of Pabst
draft beer.
Students asked, "Hey Flanagan, what's with
the beer?"
"Make a dollar's donation to Easter Seals
Rehabilition Camp, and you'll get five cups
of beer."
A good natured line forms, the kegs are
in place, and a stocky, big voiced Irish lad
pulls back on the taps. A cup is filled with
the cold, amber colored liquid.
People with drops of sweat falling off their
noses, empty their cups.
The pale student is standing in line. His
shirt is tied around his shorts. He had hacked
the legs off his pants. He had lost his tennis
shoes somewhere, but he wasn't looking for
them. His right arm is draped about a girl.
The pale student has got a big smile on his
face and the beginnings of a nice sun burn on
his shoulders, but he doesn't care for he's hav-

THE EDITOR
Well we're finished with this
(Expletive Deleted) Book and
now I can go and take a long
rest. There were many troubles
this year, the main one being
the lack of photos (we were
without a photographer for 6
months) But fortunately some
friends of mine gave me a few-
spares. Dave and Kathy, you
saved my life and thanks to
you Richard. It's been fun at
times and a headache more of-
ten. So, if the Book is good . . .
Well. I had a good staff; if the
Book is bad . . . then it's my
fault. Sometimes it's a thank-
less job. so I will offer thanks:
to Mr. Gordon Baker
"Thank you for all the help,
you freaky weirdo." To Mr.
Jim Haney, "Way to go Jim,
thanks for the only touch of
sanity in this Nut House."
And to Mr. Peter J. Flanagan
"Thank you very much for a
job well done(?)."
