ALL PHOTOS COURTESY LIFE 27 i '- I 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. 15 Iff AMI 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.

Shaw, Lewis 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. 49 g u BwnaaAi^E.^ ZVcLIGN5UiaZ)NQ 1973-'74 51 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. The Proposition r 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. She Stoops to Conquer 58 59 Nattnttal GInmpatuj PRINC 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.

Navigators are a Christian spirtual organiza- tion on campus; since their visitation on this 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.

SGA shown concern for the student commuter dur- ing the fuel crisis by estab- lishing a car pool. However, 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 time limit and arranging where the student can change his status in a class from a graded to an audited situation. Many students have taken advantage o\' this new policy. lights on the tennis courts. The proposal was approved, but the money was not funded. ELECTIONS: Sign up, anybody can, but has got to be a registered student with a 2.00 GPA. SGA lost a Vice 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." 78 ORGANIZATIONS ALPHA DELTA PI A. C.

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 80 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. 85 86 87 EXPANSION OF THE MIND 88 mSt' v ^W^ 1 1 Jl feyn ^d OF THE BODY 89 EXPANSION OF 90 OUR CONSCIOUSNESS 91 ^ * sunaieati Axpta.

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.
