AC students helped Shepeard Blood Center and the

no problem for this student.

CAMPUS LIFE

Jennifer Sprague

Take a looK

CautpuA Life,

Many AC students have been
disillusioned. They truly believe
that there is not any campus life at
AC. They are thoroughly mistaken.
AC takes pride in the activities
sponsored by the various clubs,
organizations, and the Student
Union. These endeavors are
provided by these dedicated
individuals to add a little
spontaneity to many of our dreary
days. Ice-cream give-aways, bake

sales, entertainment in the CAC,
plays . . . you name it! It is AC's
philosophy is that you will never
know what life has to offer you
until you venture to find out. A
little intuition goes a very long
way. Student participation in the
key to a better campus life. Get
involved in the activities provided
by your peers and you won't be
sorry!

Dana Hamilton

Table Tennis left a mark in Augusta College's
history book this year. With the #1 and #2
ranked table tennis players on our side, AC
took the National Title.
Homecoming gave Augusta College a new
king and queen and a week of activities and
fun. Student Activities sponsored events
ranging from an Ice Cream Social to a Home-
coming dance.

A new addition to Augusta College Activities
was the Rowing Team. They competed as a
Novice team in the Augusta Invitational Row-
ing Regatta.

Goodbye Finals; Hello Sun

Breaking Away

Summer. What does it mean to the
students of Augusta College?

To most, summer offers a well-de-
served and badly needed break from
the study ritual that begins in Sep-
tember and continues until June. By
the end of the spring quarter, most
students are showing signs of ex-
haustion and feel as though if they
can make it through this quarter,
they will never come back again. But
summer can be an excellent healer
and most of our students return.

Because Georgia is conveniently
located in the heart of the South,
most AC students take advantage of
the time availability to catch a little
fun in the sun at the beach or to laz
around the house and enjoy the best
of daytime television. Students emp-
ty out the old book-bags, discarding
tons of notes and piles of books, re-
placing them with the simple neces-
sities a bathing suit and a towel,

and hit the road for some of the re-
laxation that summer can offer.

Some adventurous student, how-
ever, use the time off to discover
something about themselves and the
world we live in. From Canada to
Mexico, from Italy to France, several
AC students attempted to broaden
their horizons by working and study-
ing outside of the comforts of home.

Then there are the students who
decided to keep their noses to the
grindstone. A record number of stu-
dents decided to continue the aca-
demic push and take on a few sum-
mer classes. Being a traditionally
short quarter, many students use
summer quarter to tackle some of
the harder courses like ENG 101 and
MAT 107.

All in all, Augusta College in the
summer is not a bad place to be.

Admission Standards

The Admission Standards at Augusta College are

here is

not as cut and dry as may be assumed. There
no specified list of standards, only certain
guidelines. The standards are unique for each
student at AC. One of the newer standards is

'

le allowance of residents of Aiken and Edge
field counties in S.C. to attend AC without
paying out-of-state tuition. By meeting ce

rtain

qualifications, a waiver may be obtained by

men and transfer students vary. For freshmen,
the SAT usua
For transfer students, it depends on the number
of hours they have earned and their GPA as to
whether or not they must take the CPE. Though
the admission process may seem confusing or
difficult, a college education is well worth
he trouble. Lara Sykes

National Champs

Table Tennis Takes Top

The "awesome twosome," Scott
Butler and Derek May of AC's table-
tennis team, captured titles in the
National Championships in singles
competition held in Las Vegas in De-
cember of 1988.

Butler, a junior business adminis-
tration major, and May, a junior
computer science major, met in the
finals of the under-22 division of the
tournament, which was held De-
cember 14-18, 1988. Butler narrowly
defeated May in an hour-plus five-
game match, winning by just two
points.

May, however won the Class-A di-
vision singles, and he said these vic-
tories put both played into the top
ten nationally.

At the college level, they are
ranked one and two in the country,
according to John Groves, director
of student affairs and faculty advisor
for the team.

The two take their sport seriously,
and their hard work is paying off. By
practicing two to three hours after
classes every day, lifting weights and
running, they have climbed their
way to the top. "The reason they're
as good as they are," said Groves, "is
because they are dedicated. They
practice every day. They take the
time and have the skills to be good."

Two other promising players,
Maury Saggus and Keith Hagood,
have now joined the team. Coach

and trainer Ty Hoff said that when
the team got started, Saggus and Ha-
good really got serious about the
sport. Through determined practice,
"They have come a long way in the
last year," he said.

Hoff is the table-tennis team's
professional coach. He has been with
the team since March, and he helps
them practice, travels with them to
tournaments, and plays in the tour-
naments himself.

It all started when Pete May, Der-
ek's father, contacted AC about es-
tablishing a team. Groves said he
didn't know much about the sport
before the team got started but that
"It's been a lot of fun."

The team has received money
from the U.S. Olympic Committee
to help promote table tennis in Au-
gusta, said Groves. Table tennis as a
sport is "nationally only in its infan-
cy," he said. "AC is the only school
in the area that has a team." He
wants to help promote the sport and
to make the team more visible.

"We started with really great play-
ers, but we want to continue the
program after they leave as well,"
said Groves.

During the 88-89 year, the AC ta-
ble tennis team traveled to Balti-
more, Las Vegas, Baton Rouge and
Miami to play the Competitive Unit-
ed States Table Tennis Association
Tournament Circuit. Other achieve-

ments of the team included: #2 in
Men's Collegiate Singles; #1 in
Men's Collegiate Doubles; #1 in
Georgia State Singles; #2 in National
Men's Doubles; and #1 in Georgia
State Doubles.

The team competed in the Na-
tional Intercollegiate Championships
at Princeton University along with
team's from Harvard, Brown, Cor-
nell, Princeton, Columbia, and
Rutgers. Augusta College defeated
Andeson College in the finals to be-
come the National Champions.

As for Butler and May, their plans
include the 1992 Olympics. Hoping
to make the U.S. Olympic team, they
will go overseas to play when they
graduate. "We're going to take a
year or two off and just play table
tennis," said May. By going overseas,
probably to Japan, they believe they
will get stronger competition to help
them improve their level of play, he
explained.

And if Saggus and Hagood contin-
ue to improve, the "awesome two-
some" could very well become the
"fearsome foursome." However,
one thing is certain: the 89-90 table
tennis team will have a tough act to
follow.

Too Many Tows To Count

"

Summer, 1988, several projects
were undertaken to remedy the
overcrowding in Augusta College
parking lots.

Four houses were razed by the
Physical Plant, and parking lot #23
was created in their place. This add-
ed 140 new spaces for student park-
ing.

The houses were occupied by
some of the members of the men's
and women's basketball teams, the
swim team and the photo lab used
by student publications. Some of the
athletes were relocated in a nearby
apartment complex, and the photo
lab was moved to the parking garage
near Calloway Hall. Parking lot #14,
west of the baseball field, was ex-
panded to create approximately 20
new spaces for students.

There were also some re-designa-
tions of lots from student to faculty
and vice-versa. Faculty lot #15 was
expanded to provide 45 spaces that
were formerly student spaces from
lot #23, and electronic gates were
installed "to guarantee them (faculty
members) their spaces every day,"
according to the Director of Public

Safety Ken Jones. "In trade-off, 45
spaces in lot #9 (which runs the
length of Butler and Skinner Halls
and the gym) were given to the stu-
dents because of the predominant-
ly-student facilities in that area,"
Jones said. The swimming pool and
the weight room are located in that
area.

The Public Safety department
hired three work-study students to
assist in the parking situation, pri-
marily by writing parking tickets.

Parking along the fire lanes in
front of the library, on the grass bor-
dering other lots, and on some yel-
low curb areas has now been re-
stricted due to the addition of new
spaces. A five-day grace period at
the beginning of each quarter was
granted before officers began to is-
sue parking citations. Exceptions
were made in flagrant violations.

The total number of parking
spaces on campus was 2,159 of which
1,832 are designated for students. In
fall of 87, 3,094 vehicles were regis-
tered, and this year the number de-
finately rose. "But," explained Jones,
"that is first and second permits.

Some people will drive one vehicle
or another, and the students and fac-
ulty are spread over 11 periods, in-
cluding nights. It is not like we are
going to have over 3,000 vehicles on
campus at once."

New Dean of Students Fred Barna-
bei's duties include fielding com-
plaints about the parking situation.
"One handicapped student called
who had a legitimate concern that
when they re-designed the parking,
some of the handicap spaces were
taken away," he said. Barnabei ex-
pressed hope that remedies such as
new lots located at the Forest Hills
complexes will ease the parking
headaches. "At the present time, I
think we are about maxed out on
what we can do on campus," he said.

"We are working hard and trying
to come up with some creative ways
to solve the parking problem, and it
will be handled on an ongoing ba-
sis," said Barnabei, "This is not a
problem that is unique to Augusta
College. It's a pretty universal prob-
lem (among colleges)."

Beginnings-- ' HJIN

Now class, today's work ethic is to
drop out of school. Get out there
and learn what the real world is
about. Get your hands in the nitty
gritty. Get real life experience. In
short, take a hike.

"But prof . . . the Appalachian trail
is closed this time of year."

Okay, don't hike. Climb. Climb to
the third floor of the CAC.

"But doc. Why? I can't pass the
chili dogs. Climbing the stairs won't
help my waistline any.

No, it's help your checkbook.

"Are chili dogs cheaper on the
third floor?"

Not exactly. You can get paid, and
experienced, if you go to the third
floor.

"Experienced? Forget the chili
dogs. I'm interested."

Experience in the real world. At
the Co-Op office. They help you
find what amounts to a job in your
major where you can take these
skills, the ones that you are alleg-
edly learning here in my class and

put them to work in a paying posi-
tion.

"Oh, you mean real experience.
What's in it for me?"

What's not in it for you? A pay
check, experience, a chance to see if
you've made the right career choice,
a good reference, and a direction to
your life. All you have to do is drop
out of school for a quarter.

"You really mean that? Drop
out?"

Well that or you can take the par-
allel approach. That's, for all practical
reasons, a part-time job every quar-
ter.

"Is this like the ROTC ... a com-
mitment?"

Yes and No.

"Now that's a typical professor's
answer."

What I mean is you have to agree
to Co-Op for three quarters but you
don't have to take a job though
they are often offered with the
Co-Oping company after gradua-
tion. And there is an outside chance
your Co-Op job may be in Atlanta.

"I could do a Hawks game every
now and then. Forget the Braves."

And you have to maintain a GPA of
2.5. In your case, I wonder.

"I'll nail the final, promise."

Good. Now, take a hike. To the
Co-Op office on the third floor of
the CAC.

"Doc. Just one question."

What?

"Can I use the elevator?"

KTOBERFEST

'88

Filled With
Fun And Cheer

The Barvarian-style Ok-
toberfest was held on
Friday, October 14,
1988. It was the Thirteenth
Annual Oktoberfest in the
school's history. With the ded-
ication of Augusta College's
Student Union, a designated
area of the school's campus
was transformed into a scene
from a storybook. Beautiful
decorations and a delightful
atmosphere added an authen-
tic German effect to the
night's festivities.

The lovely scenery was not
the only appealing aspect of
the evening that drew crowds
from all parts of the city. The
people at the celebration anx-
iously awaited the entertain-
ment of the Channelheimers
Oompah Band. They kept us
dancing, tapping our toes, and
snapping our fingers through-
out the evening. Despite the
brisk, chilly winds and falling
temperatures, loyal Augustians
and Augusta College staff and
students came out to partake
in a bit of German culture.

To warm the hearts and
stomachs of those who ven-
tured out on this cold and nip-
py night, to Student Union

prepared a feast to satisfy a
king. The spread of food con-
sisted of a variety of Barvarian
specialities such as: Saurbra-
ten, knockwurst, pretzels,
frankfurters, and beer. The
Student Union also passed out
little green hats (complete
with feathers) and also sold
Oktoberfest cups (with the
Student Union insignia) to ea-
ger patrons who were willing
to support the annual school
function.

The delicious and plentiful
refreshments, the delightful
entertainment and weather
made this night a step above
the rest.

Homecoming '89

Mardi Cras Week

After the basketball game, students and faculty
adjourned to the CAC, where they rocked to the
sounds of the Boomers, a five-piece band featur-
ing four men and one woman.

Student Activities officials were pleased with
the turnout for the dance, which was estimated at
"a few hundred." Attendance seemed to evenly
represent faculty and students, with a good time
had by all.

The dance capped a week of activities that Stu-
dent Union President Tim Bond considered a suc-
cess. It began with a club bazaar on Monday. "I
was pretty well pleased with the club turnout."
said Bond. "On Tuesday, we got a good response
for the harpist, Harvi Griffin. He went over really
well."

The week's activities shifted into high gear on
Wednesday, when the Student Union doled out
free ice cream to students in the CAC lobby. "We
gave out 14 three-gallon tubs of ice cream . . . and
about $80 worth of toppings." Bond said. At least
one student got a little more than what could be
considered a fair share. "At the end, we had a few
tubs left over, and we gave one student a two-
and-a-half gallon tub of chocolate, and he walked
around all day with it."

Thursday's CAC concert, featuring the Dixie-
land music of the Swamp Cats, fell short of expec-
tations. "We didn't get as much audience reaction
as we would've liked," said Bond. "But it was still a
good event."

Bond said the dance was very successful, and he
credits the Boomers and their musical versatility
for some of that. "The band was really interactive.
They got people up on the stage and stuff like
that." By playing a wide variety of music, Bond
said the Boomers were able to draw people from
most all kinds of musical tastes.

The dance did point up the need for more
participation in the Student Union. "We need
more members, because we only had six workers
(at the dance). And we'd have bigger events if we
had a bigger club," Bond said.

Bond said homecoming is the event of Student
Union's year, capping weeks of hard work. The
goal is to get students more involved in campus
activities.

Homecoming

Then There Was One

There were eighteen candidates vying for the 1989 Home-
coming Queen title, but only one would emerge as the winner.
On Saturday February 4, Kietra Jordon was crowned the 1989
Homecoming Queen.

She was a freshman marketing major. She actively participat-
ed in extra curricular activities at AC, and was sponsored by the
Black Student Union.

Kietra said she was "surprised and very excited" to win the
honor of being the new Homecoming Queen. She stated she
had no idea she would go home with the crown that night.
Because this was her first year at AC and new to the campus,
she felt she didn't know many people. To her surprise, more
people obviously know her than she thought. Karin Scharrer

And Her King . .

When the announcement of the 1989 Homecoming King
was made, no one stepped up to receive the award. Where was
Keith Hagood? He was no where to be found in the gym that
night. Keith was in Tallahassee, Florida, competing in the table
tennis tournament, representing August College.

When he did find out he was the winner, he was very thrilled
and honored. Keith was also sponsored by the Black Student
Union. He is a sophomore industrial engineering major.

This year, the number of candidates for Homecoming King
was limited to just four. The choice was difficult, but the stu-
dent body caste their votes for Keith Hagood.

Congratulations to both winners! Karin Scharrer

One Enchanted Evening

Homecoming night was finally here! Our team was winning
the basketball game and the bleachers were packed; the setting
was perfect!

Homecoming brought out the winning spirit in the Jaguars
Saturday night. 1,256 Jaguar fans packed Augusta College's gym
as they cheered their team on. When halftime arrived, the Jags
maintained their lead over Radford 47-39.

Before the introduction of the 1989 Homecoming candi-
dates, a special presentation was made in honor of Jaguar an-
nouncer Pat Mulherin. His contribution to the Jaguar basketball
program will be remembered always.

Finally, the time had come to introduce the candidates. The
candidates and their escorts made their way to the center of
the gym as the crowd watched anxiously. Cheers from the
audience grew louder as they heard their favorite candidate's
name announced. Silence filled the gym as the crowd anxiously
awaited the announcement of the winners.

This year, for the first time ever, there was a three-way tie for
first runner-up for Queen: Senior Tammy Mastin, sponsored
by Phi Beta Lambda; sophomore Jody Meehan, sponsored by
Zeta Tau Alpha; and sophomore Tamara Stewart, sponsored by
the Baptist Student Union. Senior Tim Hunter, sponsored by
the Baptist Student Union was first runner-up for Homecoming
King. Tension filled the air as the remaining candidates
clenched their teeth in anticipation for the announcement^
the winner. Finally, freshman Kietra Jordan, sophomore Keith
Hagood were crowned the 1989 Homecoming Queen and
King.

The night could not have ended on a happier note. The
Jaguars returned to the basketball court to stomp Radford 103-
72! Karin Scharrer

Webster defines diversity as "a quality, state, fact, or
instance of being diverse: difference; dissimilitude; un-
likeness; as, there is a great diversity in human constitu-
tions." Webster would have done better to cite Augus-
ta College students as an example of
diversity.

When most people think of college
students, they might tend to picture
someone who is young, (between 18
and 24); naive; lives for the week-
end and a killer party; and blows
off at least 80% of their classes.
Chances of finding a student who
has never fit any of these charac-
teristics are slim to none. We've
all been Freshmen.

But, as we grow, individual-
ity sets in. We all need to find a niche
where we will be accepted for what we are.
Whether it be the Yuppies and their sports car, or
e athletes (jocks) who strive for number one, or
Mr./Ms. Joe Blow Ordinary, we accept and can relate
with this group and they help to give us our identity.
Who can imagine AC without diversity. It wouldn't be
college without blacks, whites, punks, preps, yuppies,
hippies, young, old . . .

Alumni Return To Campus

F \

AC Alumni and friends gath-
ered once again for the Annual
Friends of Augusta College Alum-
ni Barbeque Thursday, October
13, in the Quadrangle behind
Payne Hall. The guests were treat-
ed to food and music, as well as an
art exhibit featuring faculty wood-
work and sculpture.

One change in the program this
year was the choice of Edmund's
BBQ, due to the temporary clos-
ing of Sconyer's, who has been
the caterer for many years. Cleve
Edmunds and five of his staff were
on hand to make sure things ran
smoothly.

Preparations started at 4pm
when the crew arrived with a ca-
tering truck containing 550 quar-
ters of chicken, 234 pounds of
pork, 38 gallons of hash and 12
gallons of sauce. There were two
serving lines, but when carry out
orders increased, Edmunds put
his staff in charge of the take-out
orders to maintain portion con-
trol. The total number of people
expected was between 750 and
800.

The event got started with fe-
male vocalist Luanne Baroni play-
ing acoustic guitar. Baroni has
been Associate Director of Ad-
missions at AC for three years.
This was her first performance at
the Alumni BBQ, and the cool
weather didn't help any.

"My fingers about froze. It's
chilly out here," Baroni com-

mented She entertained the
crowd from 5:30 to 6:00 pm. Oth-
er entertainers included the AC
Choir and Channellheimer's
Oompah Band.

The cold weather did not chill
the spirit, and as the evening pro-
gressed the number continued to
grow. Hillis DeRollor, Alumni As-
sociation coordinator, explained
the whole purpose for the BBQ is
primarily social. "It's not a big
money-maker," she said.

"It's just an opportunity for city
folks and alumni to get together,"
explained Professor Helen Calla-
han, who has helped run the
event for the past 13 years. She
recalled the first year the BBQ was
held. It rained and the turnout
was not very good.

"There was nobody out here.
George Christenberry came by
with a big umbrella and laughed at
us and kept walking. Harold (Pro-
fessor Moon) and I ran around try-
ing to catch everything as the
wind blew through," Callahan
added, laughing.

But the idea caught on, and
each year the number continued
to grow. For that, Harold Moon
deserves most the credit, accord-
ing to Callahan. "I credit him with
being the starter, literally," she
state. "He and Henry Thomason
set up the first one."

The Four
Story College
Activities
Center Is A
Very Important
Part Of The
Campus

Every student attending AC has
entered its doors at least once in the
course of being enrolled.

Located on the first floor is the AC
Book Store which is the center of
attention at the beginning of each
quarter. The book store contains all
books needed by students for their
classes and offers these books both
new and used. The cafeteria is also
located on this floor. This area of the
CAC is used for socializing as well as
for eating. It is the between class
hangout for most students. The cafe-
teria is not only restricted to daytime
use. It is also rented out for various
parties and other social activities.

The second floor of the CAC is

usually buzzing with activity also.
This floor houses the student
lounge; a TV room; a game room
with pool tables, table tennis, and
video games; topic rooms; the Stu-
dent Activities Office; and various
other offices such as the Bellringer,
the White Columns, and the Student
Government Office. Many sorority,
fraternity, and other group meetings
are held in the topic rooms on the
second floor.

The Career Planning and Place-
ment Office is located on the third
floor. Students and alumni of AC are
eligible for these services. Some of
the major services offered are: List-
ings of vacancies for full, part-time,
seasonal, and temporary jobs; listings
of internship opportunities; an ex-
tensive employer and career infor-
mation library; and directing the Co-
operative Education Program. The
co-op program provides opportuni-
ties for students to gain work experi-
ence that is related to their academic
majors. Since the job listings change
constantly, the Placement/Co-op
office stays pretty busy throughout
the year.

The fourth floor of the CAC is the
quiet floor. It houses the Tower
Room. This room is not used for any
regular meetings; it is reserved for
special meetings and luncheons.

Obviously our College Activities
Center is a primary place of student
activities day, night, weekdays and
weekends. It is a vital part of campus
life one we couldn't do without.

The CAC was used for dances, bands, and
bake sales for clubs on campus. Activities
happened daily to entertain students. The
CAC was the place to meet friends, play
pool, watch TV, have your AC ID made and
to grab a bite to eat. Most students proba-
bly knew the CAC as the place to buy the
all those textbooks. What memories?!

The Boat

October 1988 marked the begin-
ning of a new tradition at Augusta
College rowing. In elite schools
such as Harvard, Oxford, and Yale,
the sport has become a national tra-
dition filled with ritual and prestige
that has been passed down for cen-
turies. Rowing has come a long way.

The two key positions on the row-
ing team are the rower and the cox-
swain.

Many rowers prefer the experi-
ence of sculling (rowing with two
oars). The sculler relies only on him-
self to win and has only his own ex-
pectations to fulfill. He will usually
train harder than other rowers and
he has only himself to blame if he
fails to achieve his goal.

But rowing with a team is a differ-
ent experience altogether. Accord-
ing to Valerie Carter of the AC
Crew," Rowing is not only physical,
but mental (also). You have to con-
stantly think about all of the little
things. It's difficult and demanding
and you have to be very dedicated as
well. But it is also very peaceful
it's just the river and you."

The rower must constantly think
about what he or she is doing. Dur-
ing the race he must ask himself if he
is rolling his blade, following the

stroke, breathing correctly, and
pushing with his legs. Everyone must
work together. Whether it is a four
or eight man boat, they must all
think together and move together
and become one person. There has
to be a type of inner rhythm that is
shared between the teammates.

The coxswain, who is normally
perched at the back of the boat with
a microphone and stop watch in
hand, is an essential part of the crew.
The coxswain is the only person who
can see where the team is headed.
He/she steers the boat, puts the
team through drills at practice, and
tells them how to win the race. The
coxswain is the motivator and pushes
each rower to his limit. All of the
power the cox possesses is ironic in
that he is also the smallest member
on the team.

Although the coxswain is not a
physical job, it requires mental alert-
ness, good eyesight and judgement,
steadiness, balance and time. Learn-
ing the terminology is difficult at first
but it is a very exciting position.

"I love the feeling of gliding down
the Savannah river on a calm day
with nothing but the sounds of the
oars hitting the water," says Susan
Drake, AC Coxswain.

This sport also comprises of an
elaborate array of equipment. Row-
ing is an expensive sport to get start-
ed. They are thankful to the Augusta
Rowing Club for providing AC with
both coaching and racing shells. The
scull which is rowed using two oars
per person (usually single or a dou-
ble) and a sweep which is rowed with
one oar per person. The boats are
not cheap. It would not be difficult
to spend fifteen thousand dollars on
a shell, not including oars which run
around two hundred dollars each.

No matter how technical the sport
can become, there is no words to
describe the feeling of racing. This
where all of the training pays off
the rowing in the cold and the heat,
the running, and the conditioning,
these eight to ten minutes and two
thousand meters will show all.

Augusta College has been fortu-
nate to participate in this prestigious
sport. Although this is our first year,
we have done very well. Our first
race was in New Orleans during
Mardi Gras. The Women's team
placed third in the preliminary
ahead of Tulane and the heavy-
weight men came in third in the fin-
als. In the Augusta Regatta, the
women placed third ahead of Notre

Dame, the heavyweight men were
awarded a bronze and the light-
weight carried home a silver. The
President of the AC Crew, Terry
Brogan, states, "I am very pleased
with our progress this year but we
still have a long way to go. Thanks to
the Rowing Club, our sponsors, and
our dedicated team members we
were able to compete against the
top schools and make ourselves
known. They will know who to
watch for next year."

ower To Build

Student Government Association

The 1988-1989 Student Govern-
ment, composed of approximately
40 diverse individuals, found itself
confronted with many new chal-
lenges as a result of increased
growth of the college. With the
groundbreaking for a new physical
education/gymnasium facility, the
construction of student housing, and
the increased afternoon scheduling
of classes, SGA participated in devel-
oping policies for a drastically al-
tered campus environment. At the
same time, SGA continued to work
toward finding solutions for old
problems such as the lack of conve-
nient parking, the difficulties associ-
ated with achieving a more active so-
cial environment, and the necessity
of building better communication
ties with faculty and staff.

A great deal of the SGA's efforts
centered on active participation on
the various college committees on
campus. Great advances were made
in getting student involvement on
committees due to an intensified in-
tensive recruitment effort that
brought in students from outside the
Senate, Student Union, and Judicial
Cabinet. This new initiative resulted
in the greatest possible cross section
of student opinion and allowed stu-
dents who were not interested in or
able to serve on one of the three
traditional branches to have a more
significant part in determining the
future of Augusta College. College
committees scheduled Lyceum
events, budgeted funds, established
programs of study, developed aca-
demic policies (such as "Academic
Forgiveness") and performed many
other functions necessary to the
smooth operation of the college.

SGA also took a major role in con-

ducting the new student orientation
held every quarter. Student Govern-
ment members helped to devise the
orientation program, recruited stu-
dent dganizations to staff the pro-
grams and volunteered their time
and efforts to act as guides for enter-
ing students.

During Fall quarter, SGA hosted a
conference for the Student Advisory
Council to the Board of Regents.
The Student Advisory Council serves
as a state-wide student government
and effects policy on a university sys-
tem level. Hosting the conference
proved to be a very successful expe-
rience and helped to improve the
image of Augusta College and its stu-
dent body with our counterparts
from other system institutions. In ad-
dition, SGA members actively partic-
ipated in each of the three other
conferences held during the year
and provided a leadership role in the
organization that benefited students
at all Georgia public colleges as well
as AC students.

Spring quarter elections for SGA
officers added a new element to the
participatory nature of campus life
with the appearance of the Comput-
erized On-Line Polling System
(COPS). COPS, developed by a class
of computer science students, allows
the AC computerized Academic
Network to be used for polling pur-
poses. For the first time in the histo-
ry of Augusta College Student Gov-
ernment Association elections, no
polling placed closed due to a lack of
poll workers and no ballot was seri-
ously questioned as being invalid
due to a system failure.

Participation in this election for-
mat was encouraging for its first use
and many, though not all, problems

associated with conducting an elec-
tion were eliminated.

Above all, the SGA provided its
members and the student body with
the chance to learn by working in a
group and coping with real world
challenges. Year after year, this type
of experience has benefited those
who chose to accept the responsibil-
ity and the 1988-1989 Student Gov-
ernment set the stage for many more
years of continued development and
improvement.

Summer, in scholastic terms, usu-
ally means a time for relaxation and
fun in the sun. But this summer
meant something different to several
Augusta College students as they
shook the dust from their heels and
took off for parts unknown to study
and work abroad.

Foreign language students used
the summer to study the language in
places such as Canada, France, and
Mexico.

Senior Tiffany Brunner and junior
Sheila Meaders, both French ma-
jors, were two of four students from
AC who visited Quebec City, Canada
for a little studying Canadian-style.

"I learned more in those six weeks,
speech-wise, than I have learned all
along," said Meaders, a sentiment
shared by Brunner, who has been
studying French for seven years.

Although studying was a big part
of the summer, it was not the only
thing the students did.

"When you go into a cultural im-
mersion program, studying is not the
most important aspect of your expe-
rience, although it is important,"
said Brunner. "Meeting the people
and speaking the language and basi-
cally just trying to survive is the best
teacher."

'Le livre du monde,' loosely
translated, means the world is the
best teacher; and traveling lets you
see the world and experience it."

Sophomore business major Eliza-
beth Castleberry and post-baccalau-
reate student Julia Key spent their
summer studying French in France,
Castleberry in Dijon and Key in
Tours.

"The main benefit (of studying
abroad) is the cultural exchange,"
said Castleberry, who met people
from 53 countries including Greece,

Japan, and Italy.

"The main education was when
we went out and operated in that
society, going to the supermarket,
riding the bus," she said. "The book
study can't give you feelings. Being
in the society gives you the real fla-
vor of France."

Key, however, has a somewhat dif-
ferent outlook on her time spent in
France.

"I learned a lot in school but I
learned more about speaking and
pronunciation in my family situa-
tion," she said.

Her family situation was living on
what used to be a monastery farm
with up to ten other students at a
time. Being the only American
there, Key met people from all over
the world.

In another part of Europe, senior
drama/speech major Katherine Col-
gan was taking part in a drama pro-
gram that led her to Italy for four
weeks and to England for two.

"The best part was being able to
see all the theaters that I've studied
and seen pictures of," said Colgan. "I
got to see the best theater in the
world, The Royal Shakespeare The-
ater, in London."

Like most of the other students,
Colgan chose not to spend most of
her time studying. "I was in the bars
teaching those Italians how to play
'Quarters' and they taught me how
to play one of their drinking games,"
she said.

All of the people who left their
friends and family to study or work
abroad agree on one thing. The ex-
perience is well worth the money
spent, and is recommended for ev-
eryone who wants to go.

Money Madness

If I'm So Bus^

LVlilWJ

Money is a small word, but a major
problem for most college students.
Overdrawn bank accounts, hunger,
and boring nights are just a few of
the hazards caused by the lack of this
necessity. For those of us who feel
no shame about pleading with our
parents for an insignificant amount
of money, there are no complica-
tions. However for the more digni-
fied portion of the student body,
there is another solution, "Get A
Job!" Yes, that is the answer to the "I
have no money" blues.

Juggling school and work can of-
ten be more stressful than beneficial.
Each student who works, on the av-
erage spends 3+ hours a day in
classes, 5-6 hours at work, 2-3 hours
studying (of course!), an hour in
transportation, and any remaining
time goes to eating, running special
errands, and if time permits
sleep! After all this, who has time to
reap the benefits of their labors.
With all this pressure, many AC stu-
dents seem to wander through this
daily grind in a semi-daze or they
periodically suffer from sudden anxi-
ety attacks in the middle of class.

Although this all seems to paint a
rather grim portrait of the average
college student's life, a large per-
centage manage each quarter in ac-
complishing their goals. This should
say a lot for the stern determination
of Augusta College's student body,
or is it merely an issue of luck? This is
a question that will go unanswered;
all the students interviewed on this
point of discussion, did not have the
time or energy to discuss this with

ING BUSINESS AND fWANCE

Continuing
Education

The Office of Continuing Educa-
tion is one of the important arms of
Augusta College into the surround-
ing community. Over one hundred
non-credit courses are offered each
quarter in everything from business
and professional skills to leisure time
activities. Many full-time Augusta
College faculty, as well as communi-
ty experts, teach on a regular basis.
During the summer, Galloway Hall is
teeming with young people as Con-
tinuing Ed focuses on the needs of
area children and their parents with
seventy activities such as Dr. William
"Wizard" Wellnitz' science class,
snakes, insects, and a variety of
sports.

The Department is self-supporting
and generates its own operating ex-
penses through course fees. The
staff, led by Kay Allen, Acting Direc-

tor, numbers only six people with
assistance from three student assis-
tants. They conduct all the business
of the Department such as market-
ing, program planning, coordina-
tion, and student recruitment.

Other departments work cooper-
atively with Continuing Ed in special
programs such as the well-known
spring Sand Hills Writers' Confer-
ence in conjunction with Languages
and Literature. Continuing Ed also
serves people referred by Admis-
sions for review classes and SAT and
GRE preparation.

In this day and time of better edu-
cated people who have more ex-
pendable time and income, the pub-
lic seeks further educational
experience both for enrichment and
to keep up with the ever-changing
skill requirements in the job market.

Someone once said that one per-
son's life can touch many others. AC
Assistant to the President S. Lee Wal-
lace was that kind of man. In his life
he touched many people, and he
continued to touch them until he
died in December of 1988.

Shelby Lee Wallace was born in
Memphis, Tenn. on September 4,
1926. As a child, he is said to have
been inquisitive and bright with an
insatiable curiosity for anything and
everything. When he was five years
old, he wondered how a watch
ticked. To satisfy his curiosity, he
took apart his uncle's very expensive
watch to find out. Wallace lived in
Memphis until he joined the Navy
towards the end of World War II.
While serving in the Navy, he volun-
teered for an experiment concern-
ing the use of sulfur drugs. He had an
allergic reaction to the drugs and
was hospitalized for several months
for observation. During this time,
Wallace became a sort of orderly
around the hospital until he was dis-
charged from the Navy.

From the Navy, Wallace moved di-
rectly to the University of Mississip-
pi. There he completed the neces-
sary work for his bachelor's and
master's degrees in biology in just
four years. His interest in biology
turned into a summer job at the Gulf
Coast Research Laboratory. Wallace
did further graduate work at the
University of Georgia, Mississippi
State University, and the University
of Mississippi before joining the fac-
ulty of the Junior College of Augusta
at Richmond Academy (JCA) in 1949.

While at JCA, Wallace was a pro-
fessor of biology and enjoyed the
time he spent with his students in
the classroom. Pete Whatley, an AC
economics professor, was a student
in Wallace's freshman biology class.
"He was an excellent teacher with a
great attention to detail. He was easy
to take notes from and his labs were
actually a learning experience,"
Whatley said. Over the years, What-
ley and Wallace became more than
a ~ student and teacher, they became
^rZ. friends.

Another student of Wallace's at
the junior college was the girl that
soon became his wife. Then Kath-
leen Smith, she also took Wallace's
freshman biology class. "He always
did extra things to make people in-
terested in biology," she said. Wal-
lace did these extra things because
he genuinely liked his students. He
liked them so much, in fact, that on
several occasions he would loan his
car to his students, and once Kath-
leen and a friend borrowed his car to
cut another class to go swimming.

When JCA moved from Richmond
Academy to its present hill location
in 1958, Wallace moved with it, com-
ing out of the classroom and moving
into administration. He served AC as
register and director of admissions
until 1967. Although he was not in
the classroom, he maintained an ac-
tive relationship with as many stu-
dents as he could. While he was reg-
istrar, he conducted a survey on
students who did not return to
school. Every quarter, he sent out
questionnaires to all the students
and reviewed the responses very
carefully. He also interviewed every
student who applied for graduation
and personally measured them for
their caps and gowns. These activi-
ties were in addition to the already-
overwhelming duties of the regis-
trar, which included overseeing
registration, creating the schedule of
classes, dealing with advisors and
serving on numerous campus com-
mittees. In 1967, Wallace ceased be-
ing the director of admissions, but
remained registrar until 1979, when
he became the assistant to the presi-
dent.

As the president's assistant and di-
rector of institutional research, Wal-
lace "served and handled various
duties for the president, including
correspondence and attending
meetings for the president," accord-
ing to his secretary, Laverne Dickey.
He was also faculty marshall, faculty
secretary, and served on numerous
committees. "He was involved in ev-
erything that went on around here.
His office has been compared to a

museum. He never threw anything
away," said Mrs. Dickey.

Off campus, Wallace was equally
busy. He was a dedicated family man,
a prominent member of the Luther-
an Church of the Resurrection, a
member of the West Augusta Rotary
club, a trustee of the board of New-
berry College, and a member of the
Mended Hearts Club. In everything
that he did, he lent something spe-
cial to someone.

Lee Wallace married Kathleen
Smith 35 years ago, and together
they raised three daughters and a
son. From those children he was
brought four grandchildren. As are
most good parents, Wallace was
hardest on his own children. Two of
his daughters attended AC, and one
quarter they acquired the habit of
cutting a certain psychology class. By
the end of the quarter, they had be-
tween them 37 absences. When
their final grades came in as C's, Wal-
lace called the professor to see why
they were not failed.

Wallace served his church with
the same enthusiasm as he served his
school. He held almost every office
within the church, including super-
intendent of Sunday school, church
council, chief lay officer of the
church, delegate to the Southeast-
ern Synod and member and chair-
man of several committees.

"He was not only a person who
was out front in a high-visibility posi-
tion, he did the nit-picky things as
well," according to his pastor of ten
years, Rev. Paulwyn L. Boliek. Wal-
lace repaired the PA system in the
church, cooked the Easter breakfast
for the congregation, and took part
in all activities at the church, even to
the extent of taping sermons and
mailing them to the church's shut-in
members.

Wallace suffered from heart dis-
ease for some time before his death.
He underwent bypass surgery twelve
years ago and wore a pacemaker for
three years. In 1981, Director of Pro-
curement Jack Hamilton founded a
local chapter of the Mended Hearts
Club, a national organization for

people who have had heart surgery.
Wallace became a member of the
club shortly after its founding and
again he brought something special
to people. His gift to the members of
the Mended Hearts Club was a ted-
dy-bear that he had used as a pillow.
He cleaned it and began loaning it to
other heart patients. Before he was
through, the bear had eased the pain
of about 30 people. "The bear was a
good symbol for how he (Wallace)
was. He was a man who loved peo-
ple," said Mr. Hamilton.

Wallace was AC's local historian,
and he reportedly knew more about
the college than anyone on the cam-
pus. He could speak about all the
buildings, who they were named for
and why. He knew where everything

was located, including the bell be-
tween the Benet House and Belle-
vue Hall, and he was the only one
who knew.

On November 15, 1988, Wallace
underwent heart-bypass surgery at
University Hospital. On November
29, he underwent a heart transplant,
and due to complications, died on
December 1, 1988. His death oc-
curred nine months before he was to
retire from Augusta College after
serving for forty years. He could
have retired long ago, but he wanted
to reach forty years' service. After his
death, Mrs. Wallace received many
letters from old students, colleagues,
and friends expressing their sympa-
thy and surprise in the passing of a
wonderful man. Fine Arts professor

John Schaeffer wrote, "... Lee had
wonderful capacity to be a friend
when you: a) didn't think you need-
ed one; b) didn't much want one; c)
weren't much of one in return ..."
Fred A. Ware, a former student of
Wallace's wrote, "The world will
never know how much influence he
had and he would have wanted it
that way. If you saw the movie 'To Sir
With Love,' Mr. Wallace was that
kind of teacher, and I will never for-
get him."

No one that ever came in contact
with Lee Wallace will forget him.
And Augusta college will never be
the same.

One of the highlights of the
school year are the Commencement
Exercises. They represent the turn-
ing point of another year, and all that
has been gained during the year. A
time when faculty, student body,
relatives, and friends gather to mark
the achievements of their loved
ones. It's a joyous time of sharing
that brings with it smiles, tears and
the anticipation of future success.
This year's Commencement Exer-
cises were no exception.

Over four hundred twenty stu-
dents received degrees during June
graduation. This was Augusta Col-
lege's 22nd graduation ceremony.
President Richard Wallace presided
over the ceremony, and Dr. Janice
Turner, Chairman of the Depart-
ment of Chemistry and Physics,
served as Faculty Marshall. The com-

mencement address was delivered
by U.S. Senator Wyche Fowler, Jr.
(D-GA). He was also made the col-
lege's first honorary alumnus. Presi-
dent Wallace made the presentation.
The Edmund Bacon Address was giv-
en by valedictorians Jennifer Hurst
and Devarra Watson, both of whom
graduated with a 4.0 grade point av-
erage.

For the second year, Augusta Col-
lege faculty and staff members were
able to present diplomas to their
graduating family members. Three
AC employees presented diplomas
to their children. They were: Be-
atrice Crawford, who presented her
daughter, Tonia Owens, a B.A. de-
gree; Lloyd Hurst, who awarded his
daughter, Jennifer Hurst, a B.A. de-
gree; and Marvin Vanover, who
presented his son Derek Vanover

with a B.A. degree.

The graduates were filled with
great expectations, and nervousness,
as they anxiously awaited receiving
their degrees. Parents filled with joy
and pride watched as their children
were rewarded for their achieve-
ments. Their reasons for joy took on
many forms. For some, it was the
ending of classes, standing in lines to
register, having achieved success in
completing their education, and for
some the prospect of a bright future,
but whatever the reason, the joy was
there in full blossom.

Every graduate will be able to look
back years from now and recall the
happiness they felt that day. Surely it
is a day they will never forget.

The Central Savannah River Area
in east central Georgia once again is
undergoing fundamental changes.
Rapid increase in population, com-

bined with changes in the structure
of local business, present opportuni-
ties for broad-based economic and
social progress on a scale that would
have been impossible just a few years
ago. Industrialization, especially ex-
pansion in health-related, chemical,
and nuclear activities, has created a
dynamic labor market with heavy
demands for educated professionals
with good technical skills. The de-
mands of the "high-tech informa-
tion age" are nowhere so evident as
in an urban area like ours where ac-

celerating growth is a recent phe-
nomenon. In order to effectively
serve our changing service area, Au-
gusta College must produce well-
educated graduates, whose specific
skills whether in the sciences,
business, computer applications,
education, psychology, or other re-
lated fields are complemented by
a solid foundation in the liberal arts."

Essentials Of A General Education

Varied Pursuits

The primary objective of the
School of Arts and Sciences are to
assist in development of basic skills,
to provide essentials of a general
education, and to provide advanced
subject-area competence needed by
involved citizens in a democratic so-
ciety. These objectives are pursued
through the offering of masters, bac-
calaureate, and associate degree
programs appropriate to college re-
sources and the needs of the com-
munity. Another objective of the
School of Arts and Sciences is to
support degree programs in the
School of Business Administration
and the School of Education by pro-
viding a variety of graduate and un-
dergraduate course work as well as
courses that are preliminary to pro-
fessional training in such fields as en-
gineering, law, medicine, and mili-
tary science.

Courses are regularly offered dur-

ing the day and in the late afternoon
and evening in an effort to serve the
needs of the students. It is possible
to complete baccalaureate majors in

chology, and Sociology by taking the
courses in the evening; however,
students doing this should carefully
coordinate their selection of courses

with the department responsible for
the major, since not all courses are
offered every quarter.

The School of Arts and Sciences
also offers a military science curricu-
lum that prepares a student for a
commission in the United States
Army, the United States Army Re-
serve or the United States National
Guard, and a variety of programs
leading to minors.

The academic departments that
comprise the School of Arts and Sci-
ences are the Departments of: Biolo-
gy; Chemistry and Physics; Develop-
mental Studies; Fine Arts; History,
Political Science, and Philosophy;
Languages and Literature; Mathe-
matics and Computer Science; Mili-
tary Science; Nursing; Psychology;
and Sociology.

Taken from the
General Catalog

A Bachelor of Science degree is what every future phy-
sician, veterinarian, pharmacist, technician and medical
illustrator must achieve to reach their occupational
goals.

Dr. Harvey L. Stirewalt

There were several professors out of
the Biology Department who were eligi-
ble to be the most outstanding professor
of the year. After careful deliberation, Dr.
Harvey L. Stirewalt was chosen.

Dr. Stirewalt grew up in Augusta, Geor-
gia. His family encouraged participation in
athletics and outdoor activities. He at-
tended Richmond Academy. He received
a B.S. degree from the University of Mis-
sissippi, and a Ph.D. from the University of
Tennessee, which was interrupted by two
years of active duty in the U.S. Navy in
electronics.

He taught two years at Richmond Acad-
emy and has been teaching at AC for thir-
ty years. He has attended three N.S.F. in-
stitutions, two at Mississippi and one at
Chapel Hill, North Carolina. His research

experiences include three summers of re-
search at S.R.L. in aquatic biology in the
middle seventies.

Dr. Stirewalt feels that, "Students today
expect a quick if not immediate monetary
return on time invested in higher educa-
tion. This management approach mini-
mizes the enjoyment of learning per se. I
see this vocational school concept influ-
encing the attitude of college students.
The best that a college can provide is im-
proving the student's ability to adapt to
change."

He also believes that, "anyone can party
all the time and anyone can study all' of
the time, but it takes a special breed to
find the right balance." He also states, "If
Harvey Stirewalt can do it, anybody can
do it. I'm from Augusta also."

Excellence Required

Augusta College's Biology De-
partment is one of the most re-
spected establishments in the
University System of Georgia. It's
vast array of programs, facilities,
and features enables the students
to get the ultimate degree of a
valuable education. The Depart-
ment encompasses areas of study
to prepare students for graduate
schools in dentistry, medicine,
and veterinary medicine. It offers
a Bachelor of Science with a major
in medical technology and pro-
grams in preparation for entrance
into schools of forestry, optome-
try, and pharmacy.

Course offerings include many
challenging classes for those who
seek a major or a minor in biology.
Advanced Biology courses includ-
ing vertabrae zoology, plant sys-
tematics, inverbrae zoology, ecol-
ogy, and genetics are only a small
portion of classes offered to stu-
dents who desire to obtain a Biol-

ogy Degree. These electives are
chosen from courses such as: ani-
mal physiology, aquatic biology,
biology and society comparative
vertabrae anatomy, embryology,
economic botany, ichthyology,

Vertabre Zoology, Plant
Systematics, Ecology

And Genetics Liven Up
The Biology Degree

nerpetology, and many, many
more. The list of courses surpass
many of the students imagination.
The reward at the end of a try-
ing and grueling tunnel filled with
numerous trials and tribulations is
a successful career. The depart-
ment would not be such an im-
portant part of the AC family if it
did not guarantee a stable educa-

tional background to insure stu-
dent's of a repritable occupation
once the education process is
complete. The Bachelor of Sci-
ence degree prepares students
for continued training as medical
technicians, physicians, pharma-
cists, veterinarians, medical illus-
trators, and several other wonder-
ful careers.

The Biology Department gives
students a chance to obtain a wide
variety of knowledge and perfor-
mance competence in several
biological fields. Out of class en-
deavors and field trips enhance
the student's interest in their par-
ticular field of study, gives them
hands on experience, and gives
them a taste of what they will en-
counter in the future.

We are proud of the AC Biology
Department and we wish them
continued success!

Two new tracks were introduced this year in the
Chemistry and Physics Department. One prepared
the professional chemist for graduate school and the
other, "pre-professional", was geared toward stu-
dents looking toward professions such as law, medi-
cine, dentistry and pharmacy.

"Persistence, perserverence, and per-
speration" are Dr. Ron Ezell's words of
wisdom and he should know because it
worked for him. Dr. Ezell was born and
raised in Clarksville, Tennessee. He re-
ceived his BA from a college in Tennes-
see, completing a double major in Physics
and Mathematics. After he received this
degree, he went on to further educate
himself at the University of Georgia.
There he received his Ph.D. in nuclear
physics and was also the recipient of a
National Science Foundation Traineeship.
Since 1981, he has been working in a pro-
gram of atomic and molecular physics re-
search with a group in the Department of
Physics and Astronomy at the University
of Georgia.

Dr. Ron Ezell is a member of the fol-
lowing organizations: Sigma Xi Scientific

Research Society, Phi Kappa Phi Honor
Society, and the Outstanding Educators of
America. His co-authored publications in-
clude: Twelve journal articles, eleven ab-
stracts of presentations, one international
presentation, six invited national presen-
tations and seven additional national pre-
sentations. Prior to writing these, his re-
search and publication was in the area of
nuclear physics.

Dr. Ezell is married and has two daugh-
ters. His family appears to be as multi-
talented as he is. His wife is an excellent
tennis player and swimmer and his daugh-
ters are excellent students and athletes as
well.

The quote that he leaves with us is,
"without education, we may survive . . .
but with education, we progress'.

Seeing Is Believing

In the 88/89 year the Department
of Chemistry has undergone some
changes. First, the entire curriculum
for the major in chemistry was re-
structured. There are two tracks in
the major program. One prepared
the professional chemist for gradu-
ate school. There were some modifi-
cations needed in our program to
bring it in line with those of our pro-
fessional society, The American
Chemical Society. We also intro-
duced the "pre-professional" track
for those students looking toward
professions such as law, medicine,
dentistry and pharmacy. If the final
package clears committee and fac-
ulty then these will be implemented
in the fall.

Dr. Stroebel began a new
course offering this summer. It was
a one quarter organic course enti-
tled CHM 241 and satisfied the re-
quirement of many Allied Health
programs for one quarter of organic
chemistry. It was also a good intro-
ductory course for the pre-med stu-
dent who is uncertain about being
ready for CHM 341/342. The pre-
requisite is two quarters of general
chemistry.

We have brought a new faculty
member on board. Dr. Heather
Henry was a temporary replace-

ment for Dr. Lewis. Dr. Lewis re-
tired this past year because of medi-
cal reasons. Dr. Henry is uniquely
qualified to join a joint department
in Analytical Chemistry. We are de-
lighted that she became a perma-
nent member.
Two faculty members in the de-

partment had outstanding years:
The research performed by the
group of which Dr. Ezell is a mem-
ber was recognized as one of the
top important events in Physics for
the past year. Each January the
American Institute of Physics pub-
lishes a collection of review articles
that describe significant progress
made in each of the several areas of
Physics during the prior year. A
group of foremost scientists repre-
senting each of the Member Societ-
ies of the AIP select topics and the
work of particular research groups
to be included. Dr. Ezell's work
was highlighted in this issue.
His group presented an invited

paper at the American Chemical
Society meeting in Dallas. It is highly
unusual for work to be accepted
across fields to such and extent. Re-
member Dr. Ezell is a physicist. His
exploits for the year include the
publication of at least five papers
and an equal number of presenta-
tions, four of which were invited pa-
pers.

Dr. Egekeze had his latest paper
accepted and received reprints of
his most recent. He has been as-
sured of National Science Founda-
tion Support for research to be per-
formed at University of Tennessee
at Knoxville this summer. He and his
research student Christy Hall
will be attending the Undergraduate
Research Symposium in San Anto-
nio the weekend of April 30. He was
invited to chair a session and she is
presenting. Dr. "John" as he is
called by his students also ran the
Chemistry Olympiad.

Developmental Studies gives any student an oppor-
tunity to refresh those high school math and english
skills. Approximately half of the incoming freshman take
at least one of these "refresher" courses. Grades in core
courses dramatically improve from the developmental
classes.

Dr. Elizabeth House

Are all English professors boring and
monotoned like we see on television and
movies? The answer is no, at least not in
Dr. Elizabeth House's class. Having a
Master's in English and a Ph.D. in Ameri-
can Literature, Dr. House is clearly what
some people may say "full of knowledge
and willing to share".

Dr. House grew up in North Little Rock,
Arkansas. Her ambitions were directed
towards music, but luckily enough (for the
AC students) she altered her studies to-
ward English and Literature.

She has published some articles that
were written about Toni Morrison, essays
on Kate Chopin, Carolyn Kizer, and San-
dra Hockman. She also has compositions
in The Journal of Advanced Composition
and Modern Fiction Studies.

This professor is not all books and es-
says. She also enjoys being with her family,
including her two dogs. Coordinating the

activities of these people/canines con-
sumes most of her spare time. She also
finds time to read and garden. She loves
to play piano her first passion which
also was her major as an undergraduate.
When asked what words of wisdom she
credits to her success, she remembers the
words of her sophomore literature pro-
fessor. He said, "If we could continue to
be curious throughout our lives, if we
would persist in seeking answers to ques-
tions about many areas of life or even
about one specific topic, we would never
be bored or lack a reason for living."

Her views about today's education are:
1) "I'm glad the opportunity to have a
college education is available to so many
more students than has been the case in
the past and 2) I believe learning to write
clearly is and essential task for anyone
who wants to be and educated person.

Developmental Studies

Dedicated To Those In Need

ft

The Developmental Studies

program serves students who did
not do well on the SAT, who have
not had a sufficient number of math
and/or English courses, or what
have simply been out of school five
or more years and want refresher
courses to ease their return to col-
lege.

The program offers courses at
two levels in English, math, and
reading. These courses are de-
signed to assure that Developmen-
tal Studies students have the basic
background that they need to enter
freshman-level courses at Augusta
College. In the math courses stu-
dents review introductory and inter-
mediate algebra, with some atten-
tion to plane geometry as well. In
English, the students get an exten-
sive review of grammar and me-
chanics, as well as in-depth work on
structuring paragraphs and writing
expository essays. The reading
courses are designed to aid stu-
dents in improving their vocabular-
ies, learning how to read college
texts efficiently, and learning how to
do well on standarized reading
tests.

The teaching approach in Devel-
opmental Studies is often quite dif-
ferent from the approach used in
most college classes. Many of the
math courses are taught in two-hour
blocks so that students receive an
hour of instruction followed by an
hour of lab where they have access

Aids students with
their individual needs

to the course instructor and may
ask questions about the day's ma-
terial. In addition, the department
also operates a Math Lab staffed by
student assistants; this lab is open
most mornings and some evenings.
In English, many of the instructors
require that the students spend a
minimum of one hour a week in the
Augusta College Learning Center,
where they can select from materi-
als designed to aid them with their
individual needs in grammar and
writing mechanics. Developmental
English students also have available

to them the Writing Lab, sponsored
by the Department of Language and
Literature, where they can receive
help from tutors. The Developmen-
tal reading course is unique in that
most of the sections are taught on a
self-paced basis. Since students'
particular problems with reading
may vary widely in a class, the in-
structors' diagnose the students'
reading problems and then pre-
scribe assignments designed to ad-
dress those weaknesses. These as-
signments are based on materials
that are available in the Develop-
mental Studies Reading Lab, where
Developmental Studies reading
classes are taught, or in the Learn-
ing Center.

Since its inception in 1974, Devel-
opmental Studies has been helping
students find success at Augusta
College. The Program is specifically
designed to provide students with a
foundation in the skills prequisite to
prosperity in college.

The main focus of the Fine Arts Department is to
prepare students for careers or advanced study in such
areas as Theatre, Art (watercolor, sculture, drawing) and
Music.

Dr. John Schaeffer

The Fine Arts Department's choice for
an extraordinary professor this school
year is John C. Schaeffer. His work has
been admired, commended, and appreci-
ated by the AC staff and students.

Mr. Schaeffer grew up in rural New
York. He is eager to point out that his
family migrated from England in 1710 and
his family continued living on land grant-
ed by the King of England. He was educat-
ed at the Universities of Michigan and Illi-
nois. His first job was at Alabama State
University. His hobbies are canoeing, raft-
ing, entertaining, going to art museums,
reading, and cars.

The alumni association granted him the
Town Gown Award in 1986. The college
and mayor also cited him for the 1985
"Three O'clock Bach" organ recital se-
ries.

Mr. Schaeffer has very distinct views

FINE ARTS
Lara Sykes

about today's education. He states, "I feel
that we are reaping the sad reward's of the
1960's. We were doing a better job when
higher education Particularly at the un-
dergraduate level taught people how
to think and advanced degrees or em-
ployers taught people how to do. This
problem is compounded by poor second-
ary preparation."

He also states that he was told early on
that, "The secret of success at least in
the arts was a matter of attention to
detail and doing each day's work as it
came along."

Mr. Schaeffer's outstanding abilities en-
able the Fine Arts Department to reach
for new heights and enhance motivation
so that students are able to enjoy all of the
benefits that the department has to offer.

Creativity Is The Key

It is the stated objective of both
the Art and Music units of the De-
partment of Fine Arts to provide
the necessary training and experi-
ence to prepare our students for ca-
reers or advanced studies in the
performing as well as the teaching
arts.

Instruction by exceptionally tal-
ented and experienced artist teach-
ers is available in all areas of instru-
mental and vocal music as well as
art. Many opportunities are provid-
ed for self expression, active partici-
pation, cultural enrichment and
practical experience. Most of these
opportunities are also available to
students electing majors other than
those in the Fine Arts.

The Department of Fine Arts is
totally committed to our program in
the Humanities. Specific instruction
is provided by the faculty to assist
students in developing standards of
taste and insights into the musical
and artistic heritage of our cultural
traditions in conjunction with other
areas of the creative processes.

musical theater.

A variety of art courses are avail-
able to students majoring in other
disciplines. The annual "student art
show" provides the opportunity for
any student to submit art works for
inclusion. A series of regularly
scheduled art shows by local, re-
gional and national professional art-
ists is maintained under the supervi-
sion of the art unit in the lobby-

gallery of the Fine Arts Center for
the students to examine and study
at their leisure.

Augusta College graduates are
among the most successful musical
directors in our public and private
school systems. Others hold posi-
tions of responsibility in some of our
most outstanding churches. Several
are enjoying successful careers as
performers in the professional world
and still others have been accepted
by our most prestigious graduate
schools. The opportunity for suc-
cessful career preparation in music
or art, the development of mature
aesthetic standards of value, the
sheer pleasure of continued artistic
growth is here for all students and all
are welcome.

The Department of Fine Arts
invites inquiries by anyone consider-
ing careers in the performing arts in
all aspects. Scholarships are avail-
able for qualified applicants.

Dr. Creighton Peden

It was a tough decision choosing one of
many dynamic professors in the History/
Political Science/Philosophy Department.
None the less, an exceptional professor
was selected as a highlite professor. Dr.
Creighton Peden's attributes are ac-
knowledged statewide, nationwide, and
worldwide. His list of accomplishments
prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that no
better and more deserved professor
should be congratulated.

Dr. Peden was born in Concord, North
Carolina. His education in history in-
cludes: a B.A. degree from Davidson Col-
lege, B.D. and M.A. degrees from the Uni-
versity of Chicago, and a Ph.D. from St.
Andrews University in Scotland. He has
been a visiting professor at the University
of Glasgow and has served as a visiting
professor for the United States in West
Germany, Easy Germany, and Italy.

Other accomplishments of Dr. Peden:
He is the founding President of the North
American Society for Social Philosophy;

the Founding Executive Director of the
Highlands Institute for American Reli-
gious Thought; he has received grants
from the National Endowment for the Hu-
manities and the American Council of
Learned Societies; and he is also the Chair
of an International conference series on
philosophical theology.

His list of endeavor are obviously out-
standing, yet they do not stop here. He
has been the editor for several books, two
of them are Journal of Social Philosophy,
and American Journal of Theology and
Philosophy and Whitegead's View of Real-
ity.

Dr. Peden's awards and efforts are cer-
tainly prestigious leaving little skeptism
about him being the most honorable indi-
vidual for this recognition.

Pressing The Issues

The historians in the History De-
partment are highly qualified, com-
petent professionals who rank at or
near the top in campus-wide stu-
dent evaluations. Each is an expert
in one or more fields of study in Unit-
ed States, European, Asian and
Africian history.

A survey of the history graduates
reveals that they find employment in
a wide variety of jobs and are pro-
moted at a rate which favorably
compares to other majors. History
majors develop research skills
which they find useful in govern-
ment, law, journalism, business,
travel, architecture and historical
preservation.

The department awards prizes for
the best student papers, conducts
history day competitions, sponsors
workshops in cooperation with
community organizations and offers
the services of its members as re-
sources for history.

The department offers a minor in
International Studies and in British
Studies. It offers graduate courses
in support of a Masters Degree in
Education and has applied for Re-
gents approval of a Masters of Art in
History.

Augusta College offers a Bache-

lors Degree in Political Science and
is a well respected discipline in the
School of Arts and Sciences. The
Political Science faculty supports
this degree with expertise in teach-
ing local, state, national and inter-
national politics, comparative poli-
tics, public administration, political

handled by the Political Science
Faculty.

A major in Political Science will
prepare students for careers in gov-

ernment administration, public and
private research and with consulting
firms and planning agencies. Stu-
dents interested in studying law will
find pre-law training, law school ad-
mission policies, examinations and
other pertinent information in the
Political Science Department.

The Department also offers a 35-
hour post graduate program leading

Mr. Fred Wharton

Mr. Fred Wharton was the chosen pro-
fessor from the Language and Literature
Department. His charismatic teaching
style, has diverse and admirable activities
in service work, and his various contribu-
tions to the department as well as to his
students leaves no one to wonder why he
was selected.

Mr. Wharton was born in Scotland and
raised in England. Anyone who has ever
associated with Mr. Wharton is impressed
by his refined English education. It adds a
special touch to what could be just anoth-

professional life at one of Britian's largest
and oldest Universities, the University of
Glasgow.

He arrived in the United States in 1982
to do some research at Folger Shake-
speare Library. He later came to Augusta
College as a Visiting Scholar, and to our
benefit, he decided to stay.

Mr. Wharton has three books in print,
most recently Moral Experiment in Jaco-
bean Drama, and a fourth book came out
in June of 1989, on Shakespeare's measure
for Measure. He has had an article enti-

tled, "The Moral Author and The Unwor-
thy Audience" to appear in a book titled
Fresh Reflections on Samuel Johnson, and
he read a paper entitled "Bonds (Theolog-
ical, Legal, and Human) in the English Re-
naissance" at the South Central Renais-
sance Conference. He also reviews
performances for the Augusta Symphony
for the Augusta Chronicle-Herald.

Mr. Wharton's home-spun philosophy
is "a little learning is a dangerous thing,"
ignorance is lethal. His views of American
education are mixed. He contends that
there is not enough days alloted for sec-
ondary education (compared to the num-
ber of days European and Japanese stu-
dents must go to school). However, he
"greatly admires the accessibility of high-
er education in this country, and has
found AC to be an excellent college."

The Art Of Communication

The Department of Languages

and Literature houses programs in
Communications, English, and Mod-
ern Languages.

More faculty members teach En-
glish than any other subject, and
English faculty have always taught
more English 101 and 102 than any
other courses. Overwhelmingly, stu-
dents at Augusta College take these
courses to fulfill their composition
requirement, and to earn ten of the
twenty hours students must take in
Area I of the core cirriculum. Our
students enviable record on the Re-
gents' Testing Program attests to
the remarkable quality of instruc-
tions in these courses.

English faculty also teach in the
College's humanities program,
which has received high plaudits
from visiting experts. The three
courses trace the development of
western art, literature, and music
from the time of Homer until very
near the present.

The department offers both ma-
jors and minors in English, and the
number of students choosing to ma-
jor in this field has been increasingly
rapidly in the past few years. A dis-
proportionately high number of En-
glish majors win awards, such as
election to Phi Kappa Phi or to

Who's Who in American Colleges
and Universities, and graduates do
well both in the world of work and
the world of advanced study.

Communications faculty mem-
bers form the second largest com-
ponent. In addition to staffing the
very popular service course Speech
101, they teach other lower division
electives, most notably Communi-
cations 200, Communications 201,
and Speech 205.

More English 101 &

102 taught than any

other course.

The major in communications of-
fers four tracks: Advertising/ Public
Relations, Broadcast/Film, Drama,
Speech, and Journalism. Since its
inception in 1982, Communications
has been one of the fastest growing
majors in the College, and gradu-
ates from the program have distin-
guished themselves in graduate
schools and in a very broad range of
professions. There are also minors
in Communications and in Drama/
Speech, both of which are quite

popular.

Language faculty members offer
instruction in French, German, and
Spanish through the intermediate
level, as well as a minor in each of
these fields. The language faculty
have benefited greatly from an up-
surge of interest in the study of for-
eign language. As a result of this
development, enrollment in elemen-
tary and intermediate courses has
increased dramatically, particularly
in French, and Spanish, and many
students are minoring in a language.
Increased student interest, as well
as a vastly increased demand for
language teachers in the public
schools has led the language faculty
to propose that majors in French
and Spanish be reinstated. These
proposals passed all hurdles at the
local level and are now being con-
sidered by the Chancellor's Office.

Mrs. Elizabeth Bryan

Mrs. Elizabeth Bryan was the dynamic
professor chosen as a "Hi-Lite" professor
of the Math and Computer Science De-
partment. She was chosen because of her
valiant efforts to make Augusta College
staff and students a step above the rest.

She enjoys reading, spectator sports,
cooking, traveling, playing bridge, and in-
teraction with her children. Additionally,
she enjoys teaching statistics and proba-
bility to students (from grades K through
Senior High School) and to adults. Her
involvement with the Community and AC
should be commended.

She is a member of the following orga-
nizations: Phi Theta Kappa, Pi Mu Epsilon,
Sigma Ki Scientific Research Society, Na-
tional Science Foundation Forum, and the
Delta Kappa Gamma International Honor
Society for Women in Education.

Mrs. Bryan was born in Gallipolis, Ohio
and was the oldest of five children. Her
family moved to Augusta in 1952. She

graduated from the Academy of Rich-
mond County. She later received a BS De-
gree from UGA in 1964 and a MS Degree
in Statistics from UGA in 1966. She has
been married for 25 years and has two
children.

Mrs. Bryan is deeply concerned with
reports that the US is falling further and
further behind many European and East-
ern countries in the education of our chil-
dren. She believes that educators mus-
treexamine our educational goals to meet
the needs of the information society in
which we live today.

She states that she was fortunate to
grow up in a family where learning was an
integral part of family life, where intellec-
tual pursuits were encouraged and where
obtaining an education was viewed as a
vital part of becoming a productive citi-
zen.

Hit Any Key To Continue . . .

The Department of Mathematics
and Computer Science had an ex-
citing and eventful year. The high-
light of the year was the visit from
Paul Erdos as part of the Cullum
Program on Israel. Dr. Erdos is one,
if not the, most prolific and famous
research mathematician alive. His
interest and ability to do research
even at the age of 76 rejuvenated
both the faculty and the students.
Dr. Bompart prepared some of the

There were three published articles,
numerous mathematics problem so-
lutions acknowledged or printed,
and some articles refereed.

Of the twelve talks and presenta-

What an exciting and adventurous life Augusta College's
ROTC cadets lead! It sure takes a certain person to go
through the rigorous training, jump out of airplanes
spend many weekends on Survival trips and reppel off
the side of the CAC.

Okay, here is a list of hobbies that de-
scribe a professor here at Augusta Col-
lege. See if you can guess who it is ... He
likes family history, regular American his-
tory, reading, traveling all over the world,
any kind of shooting (especially target
shooting) and gardening. Give up? IT is
Captain Stephen H. Boulay. Growing up
in Minnesota, he attended high school
there and he attended several schools
such as St. John's University, St. Thomas
College, Central Texas College, Metro-
politan State University, and the Universi-
ty of Minnesota. He ended up at Cameron
University to get a B.S. in General Educa-
tion. He is married and has two beautiful
daughters.

Augusta College could not have gotten

a better pick for a professor in the depart-
ment of Military Science. He has fifteen
years experience in the US Army, about
six years experience in the Minnesota Na-
tional Guard, and one year in the Com-
mission. He has as many medals and
awards as years he has served for the
country, including a non-Commissioned
Officer Education Ribbon for the third
time, the Army Commendation medal,
Army Achievement Medal, Good Con-
duct Medal, National Defense Medal,
Army Reserve Achievement Medal (and
award) Armed Forces Reserve Medal and
the Overseas Service Ribbon (and award).
His words of wisdom are, "Education is
a lifelong effort, so always strive for a
goal."

It's An Adventure

School Year 88-89 found Augus-
ta College ROTC cadets traveling
from Jacksonville, Florida to Wash-
ington D.C., and some parts in be-
tween. It was a challenging year for
the "Currahees".

The key to any ROTC program is
training. This year was challenging,
exciting, and rewarding, whether it
was rappelling off the side of a
mountain, jumping out of an air-
plane, or patrolling in the field at
Fort Gordon.

Socializing was another highlight

of the year, whether it was roasting
the old and new Professor of Military
Science; awarding a fellow cadet
the coveted "Pink Elephant Award"
for dubious achievements; or trying
to "burn down" Fort Gordon's Offi-

"Currahees"

cer's Club. A good time was had by
all.
Finally, the ultimate goal of all

ROTC Battalions is to commission
the future officer leadership of the
United States Army. In school year
88-89 Augusta College in conjunc-
tion with its cross-enrolled schools
of Paine College, Medical College of
Georgia, and the University of South
Carolina at Aiken, will commission
21 new Second Lieutenants in the
United States Army.

Congratulations to ALL on a job
well done!!

Serving The Community

The Nursing Department at Au-
gusta College is a sound beginning
for those who wish to pursue ca-
reers in the nursing field. With the
continued shortage of qualified
nurses today, AC provides a dy-
namic educational background for
anyone wanting to add their ser-
vices to the medical field. The de-
partment not only offers courses for
general nursing education; anyone
can seek specialization in various
subjects needed for nursing prac-
tice. The Nursing Program is ac-
credited by the National League of
Nursing and is approved by the
Georgia of Nursing.

The educational admission stan-
dards of the Nursing Program are
the same for Augusta College, yet
they deviate in that a submission of
the student's medical record (com-
pleted by a licensed physician) is

needed. Also, they must have a cur-
rent Basic Cardiac Life Support
Certifiaction.

ciate of Science Degree and eligibil-
ity to take the National Council li-

censure Examination for Registed
Nurses (NCLEX-RN).

The career opportunities for
nurses are superb. The beginning
salary of approximately twenty
thousand dollars is also very impres-

sive. Registered nurses are qualified
to get employment in county and
state agencies, hospitals, schools,
physician's offices, nursing homes,
health care agencies, and additional
health facilities.

Nursing is one of the most gratify-
ing occupations in our society. With-
out them, the medical field would
suffer severely. Organizations have
been devised to alter hospital condi-
tions so that nurses are given addi-
tional benefits that they rightly de-
serve. Hopefully, these changes will
encourage others to seek occupa-
tions in the nursing field. Augusta
College is delighted to be a part of
the growing numbers of nurses and
is priviledged to have the Nursing
Department in it's establishment.

Dr. Delwin Cahoon

The Psychology Department's choice
from a highlight professor is Dr. Delwin
Cahoon. At Augusta College, Dr. Cahoon
has been a member of the Teacher Educa-
tion Committee, Chairman of Chairper-
son Search Committee for the Depart-
ment of Psychology, a member of the
Dean's Advisory Council, a member of the
College Student Activities Committee, a
member of the Science and Literature
Curriculum Committee, a member of the
President's Advisory Council, and a mem-
ber of the Graduate Council. His accom-
plishments at AC do not put a dent into
what he has done all over the nation.

Dr. Cahoon grew up in Kimball, Minne-
sota. He ventured to the University of
Minnesota (on scholarship) with the in-
tentions of majoring in Chemistry and En-
glish. However, his first psychology class
altered his plans. He later received a Ph.D.
in Psychology with minors in Educational
Psychology and Philosophy of Science.

His honors include being members of
Psi Chi and Sigma Xi, Who's Who in the
South and Southeast, the American Men
of Science, and Who's Who among Au-
thors and Journalists. His works have been
published in over 49 magazines and jour-
nals nationwide.

Dr. Cahoon lives in McCormick County
South Carolina with his three children
Some his hobbies and interests are: physi-
cal conditioning, carpentry, nature study
and martail arts.

Dr. Cahoon's view of today's education
is "Stuedents are growing younger at an
accelerating rate. Easy entertainment and
a rich society has tended to reduce aca-
demic motivation and achievement How-
ever, students are still wonderful human
beings trying to survive like the rest of
us."

Dr. Cahoon has been an inspiration to
school, staff, and students. As members of
the AC family, we thank him.

PSYCHOLOGY

Inquisitive State Of Mind

The Psychology Department at
AC has had a very exciting year.
Outstanding students, seminars,
and various other activities made
the department yet another high-
light of the AC establishment.

The department's outstanding
student of the year was Karen
Howry. She is an exceptional indi-
vidual and the award is well de-
served. Her ultimate ambition is to
utilize sign language in her clinical
practice of psychology, thus offer-
ing assistance to the deaf individ-
uals. The AC family wishes her con-
tinued success in her future
endeavors.

During the school year, Psi Chi
hosted get-acquainted luncheons,
holiday parties, and interesting
speakers. Two of which were: Dr.
Doug Payne, and Augusta area clin-
ical psychologist and Dr. Doris
Hammond, a counselor and instruc-
tor in Aiken, South Carolina.

Several of the members of the
psychology department attended
the Southeastern Psychological As-

sociation in Washington, D.C. on
March 23-25, '89. The national
president of Psi Chi, Dr. Harold
Moon, was involved in discussions
related to the organization. Dr.
Steve Hobbs and Dr. Jane Ellis also

provoking talks at the conference.

Another aspect of the depart-
ment that everyone taking psychol-
ogy truly appreciated were the tu-
toring sessions. Psi Chi graduate
students assisted in helping under-
graduate students get a better
grasp of the material taught in their
respective classes.

Several of the professors of the
department had recent publications
and activities. Dr. Cahoon and Dr.
Edmonds have written an article for

the Bulletin of the Psychonomic So-
ciety. Dr. Lane Ellis conducted a
special class in Introductory Psy-
chology which emphasized concep-
tual learning. Dr. Hobbs, along with
two other psychologists, wrote and
article for the Behavioral Neurosci-
ence. Dr. Reeves was a part of the
96th annual convention of APA, in
Atlanta. Dr. Sappington, along with
two other psychologists, wrote and
article for the American Journal of
Mental Retardation.

The department had a hectic and
challenging year. Both the students
and staff are looking forward to the
events yet to come.

The Sociology Department enhances a student's abil-
ity to reach out and meet other individuals within the class-
room setting and outside of school hours. It also challenges
the students to learn more about the society in which they
live.

Ernestine H. Thompson

If someone were to ask Ernestine H.
Thompson what she would rather be do-
ing than teaching college students, her
answer would be "nothing". She enjoys
her students and from what the yearbook
staff hears, her students enjoy her as well.

Born a true Southerner and never
crossing the Mason-Dixon Line or going
west of the Mississippi River, her teach-
ings come from a strong background. She
attended the University of Kentucky, Wil-
liam and Mary, University of Georgia, Uni-
versity of Michigan and the University of
Southern Mississippi.

Mrs. Thompson's hobbies include read-
ing, anything in or on the water, travel,
music (as an audience only), classified ads
and Yellow Pages of phone books, very
small towns, and picking flowers. All these
diverse likes and interests help you paint a
picture of a Renaissance woman.

Mrs. Thompson published two books,
three chapters in books edited by others,
many articles in professional journals, and
wrote on topics such as poverty, aging,

and sexual assault.

She has many honors and awards of
which she is very proud. Some of these
include "Social Worker of the Year" in
Augusta, Humanitarian of the Year, and
Outstanding Service Award by the Ger-
ontological Society. All of these awards
she achieved in one year, 1988. Her hard
work is definately recognized.

Her view about today's education is that
it is definately "DIFFERENT". She reminds
us that "while we look back on the past
with a certain amount of idealized nostal-
gia, the present and future certainly have
their own challenges, opportunities, and
rewards." Mrs. Thompson is a firm believ-
er in the belief of "You do not have to do
everything at once." Augusta College is
very lucky to have such a dedicated
teacher as Ernestine Thompson.

SOCIOLOGY
Lara Sykes

Ongoing Variations

Augusta College prides itself on
setting an example of cultural diver-
sification and beneficial interaction
amongst it's staff and students. The
Sociology Department at AC
makes this experience possible, it
enhances the students ability to
reach out and meet other individuals
within the classroom setting and
outside of school hours. The depart-
ment also challenges students to
learn more about the society in
which they live.

Sociology studies three main
components of human interaction:
the individual, the group, and the
societal. The department's goal is to
help students explore and under-
stand the intricate levels of interac-
tion. They will encounter new and
interesting cultures uncommon to

their own. While doing so, they will
learn to appreciate the similarities
and differences of the distinctly
unique ways of life.

Explores the intricate
levels of interaction.

Studying Sociology gives stu-
dents a better grasp of their values
and beliefs and those with whom
they come in contact. Once they
understand themselves they area
step closer to understanding the so-
ciety in which they live.

Students with undergraduate de-

grees in Sociology may pursue ca-
reers in government agencies at the
federal, state, and local level.
Teaching, work in business, and
work in industry are other ideal ca-
reer choices. For graduate study,
students may study: Sociology
(teaching and research), law, urban
and regional planning, health care
administration and public adminis-
tration.

Luckily enough, AC provides a
substantial amount of education for
a firm background in sociology. It
offers students a vast array of stud-
ies in sociology to choose a career
to better themselves and their soci-
ety.

Dr. Mobley attained a Ph.D. in Business
Administration at the University of South

ta College, her Masters in Business Ad-
ministration at Augusta College. She also
sports a B.S. Degree from the University

from Middle Georgia College. Dr. Mob-
ley, with assistance from other authors,
has written articles for the Journal of Mar-
keting for Mental Health, the Journal of

Journal of Health Care Marketing, the
Journal of Consumer Research, and the
Journal of Professional Services Market-
ing. Whew! She has also penned "The
Perfect Couple: Marketing Strategies for
the Manufacturing Process" for the maga-
zine News and Views.

Her view of todays education is
summed up as "Because of the vast
amount of information, new technol-
ogies, research and development in vari-
ous fields, education is an on-going pro-
cess for all of us in today's society-
especially professors."

Her contributions to her department
and to her students are clearly appreciat-
ed and beneficial to the prestigious repu-
tation of excellence at Augusta College.

Professionals For The Future

The department offers several dif-
ferent major concentrations in busi-
ness administration that emphasize
skills for management problem-
solving, the ability to develop ad-
ministration plans, and "people
skills" essential to successful man-
agement careers in any industry.
The management, marketing, and
general business majors are taught
substantially by the department fac-
ulty; however, as is typical in the
School, much of the teaching is mul-
tidisciplinary. Courses in finance,
economics, and liberal arts are in-
cluded in all majors to help assure
that the student is exposed to the
kind of education that leading em-
ployers seek in the professionals
they employ.

The department major is de-
signed to acquaint the student with
the executive's role in decision-
making related to planning, organiz-
ing, and controlling business enter-
prises in a changing economy. The
marketing major helps to prepare
the student to function effectively in

various kinds of marketing posi-
tions, including market research and
analysis, planning, sales and sales
management, business logistics,
and advertising management. The
general business major allows the

student to develop a background in
the broad field of business adminis-
tration without specializing in a spe-
cific functional area. The proposed
major in management information
systems will allow the business ad-
ministration student to specialize in

the rapidly-developing area of man-
aging the computing and informa-
tion resources of a business.

The faculty of the department are
exceptional. Most of them have
doctorates in business administra-
tion, management science, and re-
lated fields. Many are active re-
searchers who participate regularly
in professional meetings, make pre-
sentations, and write articles for
leading professional journals. A
number of faculty also are consul-
tants on leading local, regional, na-
tional, and international firms. These
credentials and wide-ranging activi-
ties and interests help us to keep
our classroom instruction related to
the real world of business and to
new ideas in business administra-
tion as they develop.

A degree in the Accounting/Economics/ and
Finance Department of the Business School is
undoubtedly one of the most promising de-
grees offered at Augusta College. The need in
the business world for these graduates is
great.

What happens to a man born and raised
in the town of Decatur, Georgia? In Harry
R. Kuniansky's case, and to our advan-
tage, he ended up being a professor at
Augusta College. Why, you ask? Maybe it
was the outstanding Business School that
attracted this Emory University alumnist
to our campus.

Mr. Kuniansky graduated from Decatur
Boys High School. He then proceeded to
obtain a B.B.A. and M.B.A. from Emory
University and a D.B.A. from Georgia
State University. He has definately kept
himself busy.

Though school keeps him from slowing
down, time is found to publish numerous
articles, some of which include: A Busi-
ness History of Atlantic Steel 1901-1968 ,
New Cases in Managerial Finance and

Case Problems in Financial Management ,
and various other "cases" in case texts.

When some free time comes available,
Mr. Kuniansky enjoys music and playing
baseball (Go Jags!) Geography and politics
interest him also.

Under his belt, he has many accom-
plishments. Two of which are being a
member of Beta Gamma Sigma and be-
longing to the prestigious Phi Kappa Phi.

His outlook of today's education is that
it should be thought of as a lifetime event,
therefore, take it seriously. Mr. Kun-

work and determination. His last words
for us were to wish all of the students of
today "Good luck".

The School of Business Adminis-
tration offers two majors through
the department of Accounting, Fi-
nance, and Economics. One major
in Accounting and one major in Fi-
nance and Economics. Either major
is worthy of a promising career in
the business world.

The accounting degree prepares
a student for an exciting and chal-
lenging career. One can enter the
area of public accounting, with the
ultimate goal of becoming a Certi-
fied Public Accountant. This is a
very hard position to achieve, but
once achieved it is very rewarding
both in the sense of money and
achievement. One can also enter
the area of managerial accounting.
This area would include jobs with
private industries or jobs with not for
profit organizations. The undergrad-
uate curriculum meets the educa-
tional requirements needed to take
either the Certified Public Accoun-
tant's examination or the Certified
Management Accountant's exami-
nation. We are lucky because all of
the permanent accounting faculty
are licensed C.P.A.'s. They each

also have various other advanced
degrees. Having a teacher that is
knowledgeable about the subject he
or she is teaching is very important
to a student, and knowing that your
accounting teacher is a C.P.A. is

Either Major

Is Worthy Of

A Promising

Career In The

Business World

very reassuring to all accounting
students.

The Finance and Economics de-
gree prepares the student for a wide
variety of interesting and rewarding
careers. The job possibilities
branching out from this major are
numerous and impressive. Students
with this degree have the opportuni-
ty of successful careers with invest-

ment firms, banking institutions, in-
surance companies, and many
public and private organizations.
The way this major is set up, there is
a wide variety of elective courses.
The usefulness of this is that it al-
lows a student to tailor a program to
his or her needs within the major.
This also cuts down on the mono-
tany of having to take the same
courses as every one else.

Both majors require the student
to have a well rounded liberal arts
education. Emphasis is placed on
both communication skills and fa-
miliarity with the computer. Aware-
ness of ethical issues and other con-
cepts needed for success in the
business world are also very impor-
tant. A major in either Accounting or
Finance and Economics can be very
useful and profitable, and may be
the key to many promising career
opportunities.

Education

Students Braved A Tough Curriculum

Pursuit of Excellence

The purpose of the School
of Education is to prepare the
student for leadership and ser-
vice in education, the profes-
sions, and the community, and
to prepare him to become a
responsible citizen and leader
in society. In fulfilling its pru-
pose, the School strives:

(a) to offer students a strong
liberal education characteris-
tic of all educated persons;

(b) to develop professional
educators who are knowl-
edgeable, competent, and
concerned;

(c) to provide students with
an understanding of the oper-

ational and instructional func-
tions of the American educa-
tional system;

(d) to stimulate interest in
social, economic, and civic re-

Leaders

In
Society

sponsibilities; and

(e) to develop intellectual
maturity and personal growth
through continuing educa-

tion.

The Department of Health
and Physical Education is in-
cluded in the School of Educa-
tion.

The undergraduate degrees
offered in the School of Edu-
cation are a Bachelor of Arts
with a Major in Elementary
Education; a Bachelor of Sci-
ence in Education with Majors
in Health and Physical Educa-
tion and Special Education;
and an Associate of Applied
Science with a Major in Child
Development.

Education is the primary focus of students attending
college but here, "Education" prepares the dedicated
few for a career of educating others. It is these students
who continue the college tradition.

Mary Anne Christenberry

Mary Anne Christenberry was selected
from a list of fine and respectable profes-
sors as the most exceptional professor of
her department this school year. Singling
out one terrific professor out of a group
of equally qualified staff members was a
tough decision. Despite this fact, a credi-
ble professor was chosen.

Mrs. Christenberry grew up in East Ten-
nessee. She graduated from a public
school in Knoxville and received a Bache-
lor of Arts degree from Wake Forest Uni-
versity, a Masters degree from George
Peabody College for Teachers, and was
able to do postgraduate teaching at
UCLA, Pepperdine, and other colleges in
the Southern California area. She was
married in 1982, acquired two stepsons in
the marriage, and now has a two year old
grandchild.

She enjoys travel (with 25 countries to
her credit) reading, paper crafts, music,

writing, and conversation. She has written
books to aid teachers with the education
of young children, two of which are, "202
Things to Do With Young Children" and
"Can Piaget Cook". The second book di-
rects teachers to ways to teach science
through food experiences with young
children.

Mrs. Christenberry believes, "There's
currently a crisis in education, but that is
nothing new. It is encouraging that more
people than ever before seem concerned
about problems in education and are try-
ing to find solutions. I am hopeful that
together we can move toward better edu-
cation for all and achieve a higher degree
of literacy for the entire population."

Mrs. Christenberry was also a Delta
Kappa Gamma and was named Aerospace
Education worksgop Director of the Year
1983, by Civil Air Patrol, southeast region.

From Student To Instructor

Teacher Education at the col-
lege is a college-wide responsibil-
ity and function. Although the
School of Education coordinates
the total program, students will
combine work in the School of
Education with work in the vari-
ous college departments depend-
ing upon their major and minor
interests.

All teacher education programs
at the baccalaureate, master's and
specialist's levels at Augusta Col-
lege are fully accredited by the
National Council for the Accredi-
tation of Teacher Education and
the Georgia Department of Edu-
cation. The college is a member of
the American Association of Col-
leges for Teacher Education.

Teacher education programs at
Augusta College consist of a care-
fully planned sequence of studies
in general education, a specific
teaching field area, and profes-
sional education.

Planned teacher education pro-
grams at Augusta College leading
to the bachelor's degree are avail-
able in the following areas: art,
music, elementary education,
(early childhood and middle
grades) health and physical educa-
tion, special education, and the
secondary teaching fields of biol-
ogy, business, chemistry, English,
history, mathematics, physics, and
political science.

Students are expected to com-
plete a "September Experience"

of two weeks in a public school
during late August or early Sep-
tember prior to admission to
Teacher Education. This experi-
ence is designed to familiarize the
student with teaching and activi-
ties associated with the opening
of school.

Graduating seniors are required
to take the National Teacher Ex-
amination-core battery of tests
during the latter part of their sen-
ior year and to have results filed
with Augusta College. The Geor-
gia Teacher Certification Test in
the chosen teaching field is re-
quired for initial certification by
the Georgia State Department of
Education.

Dr. Richard Harrison is not your usual
physical education professor. Ordinarily,
the words "physical education" bring to
mind the easiest, most fun job in the en-
tire educational system. It seems like
there would be no work to bring home,
no tests to give out, it would just be play-
ing sports and games No such luck at
Augusta College ... It is a whole different
ballgame, so to speak.

Dr. Harrison grew up in Atlanta, Ga. His
schooling consists of B.S. degree in Educa-
tion from the University of GA, a MAT
degree from the University of South Car-
olina, and a Doctorate of Education from
the University of GA. He was the captain
of the swim team at UGA. He later re-
ceived his Pilot's license in the U.S. Navy.
He presently is married and has three chil-
dren. His hobbies are swimming, yard-

work, reading, and working with comput-
ers.

Dr. Harrison feels that "education today
is mired in the social implications rather
than the educational validity of some de-
cision such as social promotions and gov-
ernmental red tape." He attributes all of
his success to his athletic background and
discipline that helped him focus on an
objective and work toward that goal. He
has done a study for the board of Regents
on The Analysis of Teaching Loads Within
Heal the & Physical Education Depart-
ments of the Senior Colleges of the Uni-
versity System of Georgia.

The August College president recom-
mended him and he was eventually
awarded the Faculty Development in
Georgia Grant to purse the Doctorial De-
gree.

Sweating It Out

The Health and Physical Educa-
tion Department consists of many
different areas of study and re-
creation for students to become
involved in. The department has
made valuable changes and ex-
pansions in class variety and activi-
ties for students who have eagerly
awaited the opportunity to en-
gage in new endeavors. Along
with the ever so popular golf and
tennis classes, the department of-
fered canoeing, Iron Man/Iron
Woman, Square Dancing and Per-
sonal Fitness Assessment as op-
tions to fulfill P.E. requirements.

The degrees offered by the de-
partment are derived to insure
the best possible training to suc-
ceed in a chosen field. The Bache-
lor of Science in Education is of-

fered to students who will major
in Health and Physical Education
and minor in education or other
selected fields. The Masters of

Spring of 1990 brings
new P.E. Complex.

Education is offered to those who
concentration will lie in Health
and Physical Education. The Edu-
cation Specialist degree is desig-
nated to those seeking a special-
ized field in physical education.

The intramural program pro-
vides co-educational team and in-

dividual sperts during the aca-
demic school year.

In the spring of 1990, the de-
partment will be elated to see the
opening of the new physical edu-
cation/gymnasium complex. The
facility will provide a weight
room, a multiple purpose room,
indoor track (jogging), class
rooms, seating for approximately
5,000, and atheletic fields for soc-
cer, softball, and baseball.

Take a looK

Some of AC's sports teams had
many downfalls this school year,
while others experienced produc-
tive seasons. Injuries and the loss of
senior players made the veterans and
newcomers work twice as hard to fill
in the vacancies of the members
they lost. Despite the hardships, all
of the players of the various teams
accepted the challenges of hard
work and discipline as key ingredi-

Basketball was one of the highlight sports on
the AC campus. The men's team ended their
season with a record of 5 and 23. At the Big
South Tournament, they had a record of 3 and
12.

The soccer team kicked their way to a record
of 4 and 10. Although not as positive as ex-
pected, their ability to work as a team im-
proved and left high expectations for the 89-
90 season.

ents to better themselves during the
season and in their individual lives.
Although the records show that
many of AC's sports teams had mod-
erate seasons, they all contend that
vast changes and improvements will
be made to ensure an enjoyable sea-
son next year. Stay tuned to see the
results!

Baseball excelled as "The" spring sport to see.
With the large crowd turnouts and cheering,
that was all that the team needed to be suc-
cessful.

According to this year's Augusta
College cheering squad, cheerlead-
ing was exciting, a great way to meet
people, and just plain fun!

In general, the cheerleaders
agreed they would like to have as
many male members on the team as
they do female.

Cher Best was the captain of the
team. She cheered one year at West-
side High School and danced on the
drill team her Junior and Senior
years.

"Being a part of Augusta College
athletics has taught me that it's not
the school that makes the people,
but the people that make the school.
AC is one hell of a school!"

Jennifer Botnick, 26, sponsored
the AC cheerleaders. "I wanted to
become AC's cheerleader sponsor
to help those devoted to supporting
Augusta College athletics, to help
them achieve their goals."

Mark Seitzman, 19, is one of the
two male cheerleaders on the squad
this year. This was Mark's Freshman
year. He said "I wanted to be an AC
cheerleader to give support to our
team and meet other students."

Christi Johnson and Sheri Winkler
both see an increase in crowds and
in crowd participation. They attri-
bute the increase, in part, to Sports
Information Director Alan Sharp,
who has been assisting the cheer-
leaders in handing out programs and
informing students when a game is
coming up.

Johnson, 18, had cheered for four
years prior to her arrival to AC.

"I think the guys (basketball team)
play better when they know the
crowd's behind them to cheer them
on. The baseball team has been sup-
portive in coming out to the basket-
ball games and I hope the basketball
team will be just as supportive to
them." said Johnson. "I wanted to be
an AC cheerleader because I loved
cheering and giving support in col-
lege activities as well as meeting a lot
of new and unique people."

Sheri Winkler, Johnson's High
School classmate, said "I wanted to
cheer for Augusta College so I could

get involved in school activities,
meet new people, and travel to
places to support our basketball
team."

Deryl White is the other male
cheerleader on the team. While in
High School, Deryl cheered in his
Junior and Senior years. He also
coached the Fort Gordon Depart-
ment of Youth Activity.

"I attended the University of
Maryland (Munich, Germany) and
started a cheerleading program. I
cheered for two years."

Deryl transferred to Georgia State
University and cheered during his
lunior year there and now he is the
Co-Captain for the AC cheering
team.

Cherae Hardge, Freshman, said
"Cheering for AC is everything I
hoped it would be. I am looking for-

* ' v JVLJHLUnun f" m -\ ' */ w

ward to cheering four more years."
She added that the Jags and Lady Jags
"have been very cooperative and
supportive. We appreciate every-
thing."

The last two cheerleaders are Can-
dace Rogers and Tammy Mastin.
Both cheered in high school and are
excited to have the opportunity to
meet new people and become more
involved in Augusta College athlet-
ics.

Many thanks to the AC cheering
team! We would be You keep our
spirits high!!

Pressure

Since the final game of the 1987
season, Jaguar fans awaited with
great anticipation the beginning of
the 1988-1989 Basketball season. The
talented veteran Jaguars along with
the new recruitments joined togeth-
er to make up one of Augusta Col-
lege's most respected athletic teams.
Despite the teams losing record of 5-
23, the Men's Basketball team con-
tinued to be the pride of AC.

The position of Athletic Director/
Head Coach had not had to be filled
since the basketball program began
in 1963. Clint Bryant was chosen.
Coach Clint Bryant, coming to AC
from Miami, arrived full of innova-
tive ways for improvement to en-
hance the gifts and innate abilities of
the basketball players. Also, under
the direction of the new Head
Coach, the Jaguars received a new
approach to their basketball game.
He brought hopes, dreams, and en-
thusiasm to AC basketball. Bryant
and his staff are to be congratulated
for raising the self esteem of the
players and are commended for
their strident efforts.

This year's team consisted of four
seniors, one junior, four sopho-
mores and four freshmen. "Anytime
you have nine lettermen and four
returning starters, two of whom are
all conference performers, the po-
tential is there for succeses," said
Coach Bryant. In many aspects of
the game, Bryant succeeded in in-
stilling team spirit and a sense of loy-
alty among the players. Although he
was not rewarded with better statis-
tics from the overall season, Bryant is
undoubtedly happy with the team's
progress. In fact, he stated before
the season began that the pace of
the adaptation by senior players to
his philosophy of the game would
determine their success for the sea-
son. He also stated that day to day
improvement was another essential
ingredient for a gratifying season.

Coach Bryant's energetic style
and ideas added quickness and di-
versity on the court. It produced ex-
citing events and frustrating mo-
ments for both the players and the
fans. All of the players brought a vast
amount of intensity with them on
the court, however, junior Tim Dan-
iels continued to use his dynamic in-
tuition on the game and his range of
abilities to delight the onlookers in
the stands. The 6'5, 225 pound for-
ward set new records during the
1988-1989 season. During a game
against Baptist, Daniels shot 11 for 11
from the field for a total of 25 points.
During a game against South Caroli-
na State, he sunk 13 straignt (13 for
13) to advance beyond the standing
record of 10 for 10. Tim stated at the
start of the season, "This year I want
to be a consistent leader and help
guide AC to a Big South Champion-
ship." He, no doubt, lead the team in
3-point percentages, total points,
and rebounds.

Other players on the team per-
formed well during the season also.
Freshman Keenan Mann gave an
outstanding performance at the Big
South Tournament. Mann, at 6'5 and
160 pounds, had approximately 5
games with 20 or more points. He
was also the Big South Tournament
top freshman. He averaged 20.1
points against the Big South oppo-
nents. His 13.6 scoring average is
complimented by a 5.2 rebound av-
erage that was second best on the
team. Keenan has most certainly had
a wonderful beginning to what ap-
peared to be a successful basketball
career.

Freshman Brian Schmall also set a
school record during the 1988-1989
season. With 77 assists, Schmall set
the new AC freshman record. The
freshman point-guard had 19 points
and 7 assists in one game against
South Carolina State. He hit 9 for 10
(.900) from the line and was good on

5 of 7 (.714) from the field. He was
also ranked second in the Big South
Tournament in assists at 5.4 per
game.

In the backcourt, AC was fortu-
nate to have five players who dem-
onstrated confidence, experience
and dedication to intensify the per-
formance in the game. Freshmen
William Lester, Brian Schmall, Todd
Wieters, and sophomores David
Craft and Steve Piatt worked togeth-
er to make AC's backcourt interest-
ing and thrilling to observe.

Despite the fact that none of the
players on the frontcourt were over
6'6, the players had the strength and
endurance to add depth and diversi-
ty to the teams overall game perfor-
mance. Freshman Keenen Mann,
sophomores Mike O'Neill and Da-
vid Butler, junior Tim Daniels and
seniors Paul Greene, John Walker,
Brad Mays, and Vincent Jackson
gave a valiant effort to make AC's
Men's Basketball team the best it
could be.

The team endured challenges, var-
ious ups and downs, hardships and
successes. Playing teams from the
Universities of Alabama, South Caro-
lina, and Georgia were definately
learning experiences.

Success lies within the unified
faith and determination that all the
players possessed. Although the final
record may not appear to others as a
winning season, the AC fans are de-
finately proud of the team's accom-
plishments.

amaraderie
And Teamwork

Coach Barnhart and his staff made
strident efforts to make the 1988-
1989 Lady Jags an excellent team.
Competiveness, intelligence faith,
and good intuition are qualities that
the women must bring with them to
the team. The women's basketball
coaches did a commendable job in
not only nuturing but instilling addi-
tional characteristics that only as Au-
gusta College Lady Jaguar could pos-
sess.

This was the third season Coach
Lowell Barnhart was the head coach
for the Lady Jags. His intentions of
the season included rebuilding a
team with only two starters and five
lettermen returning and to achieve a
record better than previous years.
With the aid of student assistant
coaches Kim Turner and Stuart
Tranum, Coach Barnhart was only a
tiny fraction away from meeting his
goal.

The five returning lettermen of
the 1988-89 Lady Jags said they
learned two things about Division I
Basketball. One lesson was that they
rapidly become "street wise" to the
ways of the game and the diverse
manners in which their opponents
chose to play. Secondly, they had to
be "court tough". Competition was
demanding and endurance was the
key to winning. Fortunately, stamina
and strength amongst the returnees
and the newcomers proved to be
beneficial to the squads perfor-
mance.

The height of the players did not
pose any problems this season. Four
solid players at 5'10 or taller were
able to contribute valiantly to the
team's performance. Barnhart felt
that with the acquisition of newcom-
ers and two junior college recruit-
ments the issues of height would
soon be forgotten.

The anticipation of seeing guard
Mary Chavous, forward Francean
Leverette, and center Debbie Born

on the court was extremely wide-
spread amongst the Lady Jag fans.

Because of the loss of two valuable
players in the backcourt from the
87-88 season, guard Mary Chavous
(who made her debut at point guard
in the 87-88 season with 23 starts)
had some pretty bit shoes to fill. Two
additional players who filled guard
positions Caroline Pratte and Deb-
bie Crist, helped to add excitement
to the game. Also, three walk-in
players, Justina Jones, Kathy Dixon,
and Angie Newman, brought depth
into the backcourt. Barnhart said at
the beginning of the season "Mary
has had a year of experience and will
have to give us leadership and confi-
dence to relax the team and run the
game for us." With Mary's intuition
and the freshness of the newcomers,
the Lady Jags surpassed the coaches
wishes.

Two key positions strengthened
the frontcourt this year: the forward
and the center. Fran Leverette and
Debbie Born provided a firm back-
ground for the newcomers to learn
from because of their outstanding
performance from the 87-88 season.
They were assisted by sophomore
Peggy Stoming and junior Dottie
Wesley. Walk-ons for the front
court included 5'11 forward Kristi
Boeck and 5'11 forward Kim Jones.
Coach Barnhart stated, "Debbie and
Fran will be the backbone of the
team this year." The coach was cor-
rect in his predictions. Through
hardwork and dedication they led
their team through hardships as well
as victories.

Senior Mary Chavous, the 5'5
guard for the Lady Jags, played her
final year for the AC. Oddly enough,
Mary was the only senior of the 88-
89 squad. Her leadership qualities
and experiences were definately a
blessing in disguise for both the
coach and her fellow teammates.

Debbie Born played center for the

Lady Jags. She was a sophomore from
Pasedena, Maryland. Her confidence
and good instincts on the court
made her one of the Big South Con-
ferences top young players.

Junior Francean Leverette was a
forward for the team. Her talents ex-
ceeded the realm of basketball. Ex-
celling in volleyball taught her the
discipline for competitive sports and
cooperation with her teammates.

Juniors Caroline Pratte, Debbie
Grist, Angie Newman, and Dottie
Wesley are most certainly going to
lead the way for more victories next
season. They all realized that if it had
not been for unfortunate circum-
stances they would have attained a
winning season. Now the misplaced
desire to succeed must be focused
on next season.

Freshmen Kristi Boeck, Justina
Jones, and Kathy Dixon will, no
doubt, strive to contribute all the
support sought by their teammates
to add in making next year as suc-
cessful as they hoped the 88-89 sea-
son would have been.

The 1988-89 Lady Jags encoun-
tered many impediments which tar-
nished what could have been a great
season into one filled with a few un-
desirable surprises. Injuries and a
near tragic accident somehow over-
shadowed the Lady Jags court per-
formance. Nevertheless, Coach
Barnhart plans to put the mishaps
and unfortunate circumstances be-
hind him and concentrate on mak-
ing the 1989-90 season a step above
the rest.

Post-Season Ends In 1-20 Cras

ehow their best season ever in
the Big South didn't seem so impro-
tant anymore, nor did their two
me losing a streak. What was im-
>rtant was the fact that we still had
women's basketball team.
Wednesday, February 22, 1989, at
3 p.m., en route to the conference
tournament at Radford, Va., the Au-
gusta College team mini-bus collid-
ed violently with the rear-end of a
t-bed tractor-trailer on Interstate-
20, three miles into South Carolina.
All 13 passengers were injured,
while the driver of the tractor-trailer
escaped unscathed.

According to the driver of the
mini-bus, Lowell Barnhart, coach of
the women's basketball team, and
one eyewitness report, the truck
driven by Clarence Cary of Nicholas,
Miss., apparently came to a near halt
while climbing a steep grade just
past the three mile marker on I-20.
The AC bus swerved to avoid the
truck and laid down over 17 feet of
skid marks before coming to rest un-
derneath the bed of the lumber
truck. . ---wji

I

"All of the sudden it appeared to
me that a flat-bed truck was standing
still on the hill in front of us," Barn-
hart said from his hospital bed. "I
tried to turn the bus to the left, but
there just wasn't enough time; we
clobbered it."

But according to Cary and the
South Carolina Highway Patrol's ac-
cident report, the tractor-trailer was
going between 40 to 45 mph when
struck by the mini-bus. As a result,
Barnhart was considered at fault for
driving too fast for conditions, but
will not be formally charged accord-
ing to the reporting officer, Cpl. Al-
len Best. He estimated that the bus
was traveling around 65 mph the
South Carolina expressway limit.

"I know the police report has him
(Cary) going 40-45 mph," Barnhart
said, "but I still think he was standing
still." \

Barnhart, who suffered a com-
pound fracture to his lower right leg,
had four pins placed in his tibia (just
below the knee) the night of the ac-
cident. The 56 year old Augusta na-
tive underwent surgery to remove a

bone chip from his hip.

Three players stayed overnight at
hospitals, while the other eight oc-
cupants six players, an assistant
coach and student manager were
treated at University Hospital's
emergency room and released with-
in three hours.

Junior Debbie Grist/ who suffered
a deep cut to the back of her head
and a broken collarbone was re-
leased two days later from MCG and
returned home to East Point, Ga., to
recuperate for a week.

Freshman Krysti Boeck and senior
Mary Chavous were released the
next day after staying one night for
observation. Boeck was treated for a
facial laceration, a broken arm and a
mild concussion at University Hospi-
tal, while Chavous was treated for a
back sprain at MCG.

The accident prompted athletic
director Clint Bryant to forfeit the
women's tournament game sched-
uled for Feburary 23 in Radford. The
Lady Jags ended their season at 11-14
overall and 7-5 in conference play.

Augusta College's 1988 Cross
Country team had a moderately suc-
cessful year. Despite the fact that
neither the men or women's team
placed first in any of their events, the
AC family is nonetheless proud of
their valiant effort.

The Men's Cross Country team,
with Seniors Chris Everly, William
Casey, and Dennis McBride, com-
peted in four events this season. The
most important and the most excit-
ing event of the season was the Big
South Meet. They awaited this event
with much anticipation. Yet, it
seemed that the stiff competition at
the meet was too much for the men
to deal with. Out of a possible forty-
six spaces for the runners to place in
the competition, AC had five to rank
lower than thirty-eight (Senior Den-
nis McBride placed thirty-ninth).

Other members of the team in-
cluded: Junior Derek Vanover;
Sophomores David Craft, Steve
Platte, Thomas Tomlinson; and
Freshman Randolph Kersey.

Unfortunately, the Women's Cross
Country team did not perform much
better than the men's team. The
Women's team competed in a total
of five events this season. They com-
peted against Winthrop, Citadel,
Georgia Southern, Oglethorpe, and
several other schools in the Big
South Meet. The Women's team had
three Seniors whose experience aid-
ed their coach, Alan Sharp, in instill-
ing principles and helpful hints of
running.

The members of the Women's
Team consisted of: Seniors Angela
Heilig, Debra Osterhoudt, Carol
Zembiak; Juniors Beth Butts, Valer-

ie Groover, Caroline Platte; Sopho-
more Valerie Wong; and Freshman
Joella Carter.

Coach Sharp was slightly disap-
pointed with both of the team's per-
formance this season. On the con-
trary, he was not at all disheartened
by the team's vibrant and intense de-
sire to reach for new heights next
season. The strength, dedication,
and hardwork that each of the run-
ners devoted to the competitions
will motivate them to place higher in
next year's events.

Coach Sharp is confident that with
the remaining runners and the new-
comers of the next season, the AC
Men's and the Women's Cross
Country team's improvements will
surpass many of his hopes and wish-
es.

he Year Of
Rebuilding

The quote, "If at first you don't
succeed, try, try, again," must be ap-
plied to the AC men's and women's
tennis teams. Despite a valiant effort,
the team did not perform as well as
they would have hoped this year.

The AC women's tennis coach is
Melissa Kirby. Coach Kirby did not
have any senior players, but she ac-
quired two freshman players this
year; one of which was Australian
born Julie Dickerson. Julie is a fan-
tastic player with an exuberant yet
professional court disposition. Her
performance was a ray of sunshine
on what could have been a dim and
uneventful season.

The members of the women's ten-
nis team consisted of: Juniors, Nanci
Collins Erbland, Mary Love, and

Caroline Platte; Sophomores, Mary
Holly and Peggy Stoming; and
Freshmen Julie Dickerson and Su-
zanne Scheid. The women on the
team are aspiring to the necessary
alterations individually and as a
group to have future satisfying sea-
sons.

The AC men's tennis team ac-
quired six freshmen this year. The
young talent experienced hardship
after hardship, but Coach Richard
Harrison (as well as the players) wish
to make vast improvements. Because
there were so many freshmen and
very few veterans on the team this
year, the lack of acquaintance with
tournament playing and college lev-
el competition carried a lot of
weight in determining the team's

performance.

The men's team consisted of: Sen-
ior Ronnie Wilcauskas; Sophomores
James Bible, Brian Casey, and Steve
Platte; and Freshmen Anthony Col-
lier, Brad Duke, Joe Hayes, Jr.,
Todd Peterson, Alan VanCampan,
and Brian Wayne.

Another damper for the men's
team was the resignation of the new
coach Tim Knowles. The Georgia
letterman stated that he could not
devote the time needed to do a suf-
ficient job for AC and therefore de-
clined the offer. However, Coach
Harrison has done an exceptional
job at molding and shaping the
men's team for the competitions
they endured this year.

Both of the team's played in the
1989 Big South Tournament. They
played against reputable schools
such as: Baptist College, Campbell
University, Coastal Carolina, Radford
University, UNC Asheville, and Win-
throp College. The women placed
fifth out of a possible seven in the
tournament. The men, unfortunate-
ly, placed seventh out of seven pos-
sible positions. Both are looking for-
ward to placing higher in next year's
event.

All in all, the goal of the coaches
and the players is to learn from their
experiences, their successes, and
their mistakes from the year. The
members of both teams' objective is
to persevere and excede all of the
obstacles that they were confronted
with this year. Winning would cer-
tainly be great, however, it is not the
ultimate ambition. "Practice, prac-
tice, practice" will become the most
dominate thought on all of the play-
ers' minds and they will undoubtedly
surpass all of their hopes and wishes

for next season.

Inexperience
adds to worries

Young Jags skid to 4-10

At the beginning of the season,
Head Soccer Coach Lowell Barnhart
said, "We have a very large and talent-
ed group of newcomers ... If the
freshmen make the transition to col-
lege soccer quickly we will be suc-
cessful. We will need the leadership
and enthusiasm from our upperclass-
men to help the young players fit in
and become a team." One freshman
player, Greg Nugent, said he feels
confident about the team's ability and
knows that once the team becomes
unified, the wins will come.

Offensive players for the team in-
cluded veterans Bryan Hatch, Thom-
as Tomlinson, Tommy Jackson, and
freshmen Francisco Coutinho and
Jeff Huberty. Freshmen dominated
the midfield also, led by Ken Dawson
from Atlanta. Other key players were
Joey Spires, Danny Dunn, Derek
Francis, and George Kennedy.

AC's best defense in years was an-
chored by 1988 MVP Lance Cunning-
ham. Several top freshmen also fig-
ured into the defensive line: John
Reardon and Greg Nugent. Veteran

defenive players were Dennis
McBride and Kevin Kilchenstein.

The remainder of fullbacks were
freshmen Jason Abbott, Chris Under-
wood, Sammy Hallmark, Jason
Dowd, and Raymond Tompkins.

Goal minding duties belonged to Ke-
vin Vaughn.

After a 4-11-1 season record in
1985, a 4-12 record in 1986, a 2-13-1
record in 1987, and an ending record
of 4-10 in 1988, and upward swing is
beginning to show.

With seven freshmen starters, the
team faced one of the most challeng-
ing schedules of the program's histo-
ry. Playing teams such as Mercer, Cit-
adel, and Georgia southern tested the
abilities of the young squad. Though
they suffered a 2-3 loss to Citadel, and
a 1-3 loss to GA Southern, they beat
Mercer 2-0 at the beginning of a
three game winning streak.

This winning streak came at the end
of the season and goes to show that
now that the team has learned to per-
form as a unit, they will be a team to
look out for next year.

The 1989 AC Golf season was very
much anticipated by the staff, stu-
dents, and Augusta Community.
With veteran players returning, a
senior reaching the pro status, and
bright new recruits, AC is sure to
have an exhilerating season filled
with promising performances.

This was Coach Ernie Langford's
sixth season as the golf coach at Au-
gusta College. His accomplishments
during the past five years include:
twelve tournament victories, thirty
top five finishes, and three Big South
golf championships. He has also
earned the title of "Coach of the
Year" on the occasions. Eight golfers
were placed on the Big South all
tournament team, three of which
were medalists; Mike Gill (1985),
Taylor Smith (1986), and Roger Row-
land (1988). Additionally, he has
helped to produce eight golfers to
advance to the pros throughout the
Southeast. Coach Langford's efforts
have resulted in overall success for
AC students, the Jaguar team, and
those who venture towards new
challenges.

One of the changes for the golf
team this year was the absence of
Roger Rowland. Roger gave up his
Spring season to pursue a Profes-
sional career. He was the golf team's
shining star for the past two years
and 1988 he won eleven college an-
d/or amateur events. Although his
talents were sorely missed, the AC
golf team made a strident effort to
make up for the loss.

The team was invited to several
eminent events, such as the Iron
Duke Tournament, Billy Hitchcock
Tournament, Caliver Classic, Imperi-
al Lakes Tournament, and the Zip In-
vitational played at Firestone in Ak-
ron, Ohio. These auspicious
occasions have helped to broaden

GOLF

Dana Hamilton

the team's awareness of the compet-
itors, aptness of the game, and the
vast array of talent on the AC team.

The Seniors of this year's team
were: Tripp Bowden, Jim Gilleon,
and Alasdair Watt. Their contribu-
tions have aided the team's ability to
reach new heights as well as familiar
territory for the golf team. Tripp
Bowden, playing his final season,
competed this fall at CA Spivey. The
Augusta native has had an aspiring
career at AC. All Big South, Jim Gil-
leon, has also had an extraordinary
AC career The 1988 medalist fin-
ished as a runner up at the Fourth
Annual Jaguar Classic Golf Tourna-
ment. Scottish-born Alasdair Watt
was another bright spot on the team.
He placed second at the Charleston
Tournament with a score of 74-75-
68-217. These three dynamic players
have, no doubt, had extremely grati-
fying experiences at AC. Anyone de-
siring a position on next year's team
will have very big shoes to fill.

The 1989 roster also included Jun-
iors Steve Foote (Augusta, Ga), and
John Sheehan (Augusta, Ga); Sopho-
mores Evans Day (Hilton Head, Sc),
Chip Ivey (Evans, Ga), Matt Mankin
(Roanoke, Va), Dan Rosser (Augusta,
Ga), and Doug Weiss (Augusta, Ga);
and Freshmans Steve Brown (Way-
cross, Ga), Matt Strickland (Way-
cross, Ga), and Phillip Trailies (Au-
gusta, Ga). The members of the team
have individually and cohesively
made the Jaguars season one to re-
member. (Unfortunately, Matt Man-
kin was unable to compete in the fall
because of a wrist injury.

Coach Langford states, "Each year
our talent keeps getting better. Our
team has a 'blue collar' quality when
it comes to putting in the practice
time and working hard. We have
several excellent athletes, who in a
sense are proamateurs in their atti-
tude and the wat they approach the

game. They know what they have to
do and they go do it." Coach Lang-
ford's assessment of the team is right
on the money. They gave a great
performance this year exemplifying
professionalism and dedication.

AC finished third place out of an
eighteen team field at the College of
Charleston Invitational Coif Tourna-
ment held at Osprey Point on
Kiawah Island, South Carolina this
past fall. The Jaguar team shot a 302-
303-293-898, behind the champion
North Carolina team and runner up
Kentucky. Alasdair Watt came short
of finishing first with a second place
score of 74-74-68-215. Jim Gilleon
and Roger Rowland placed fifth with
identical scores of 75-72-75-222.
The team finished ahead of schools
such as: Georgetown, East Tennes-
see, Davidson, Citadel, Army, Kent
State, Furman, Duke, and other pres-
tigious institutions.

The Fifth Annual Classic Golf
Tournament teed of at Jones Creek
golf course and four alumni teams
competed in the event. Coach Lang-
ford said before the event, "Each
year the caliber of competition has
improved for the 'Classic'. The tour-
nament is a special on for us with the
ties to our alumni golfers." AC fin-
ished as runner's up in '88. Teams
from USC Aiken, Campbell, Ball
State, Ohio University, Georgia,
State, and additional schools.

The Jaguars second place finish in
the Big South tournament gave them
yet another successful season. If
team work, determination, and en-
couragement from those who care
continue to enhance the team's per-
formance as it has the past six sea-
sons, the Jaguar team will no doubt
have promising futures.

otivated
To Win

The Augusta College baseball
team had a strong showing for the
1989 season with a 21-21 record that
included an exciting 5-1 win over
the University of Georgia Bulldogs at
the Athens home field. "By far one
of our greatest moments this sea-
son," says Coach Skip Fite. Last years
frustrations of continuous injuries to
the squad meant that the players
needed more conditioning. Coach
Fite challenged himself into condi-
tioning the talented, but young Au-
gusta College team. Now in his fifth
season, the Douglasville, Georgia na-
tive has molded the squad into a
competitive Division I program. His
100th career victory came early in
the season paced by two-time All-
Big South outfielder, Lee Sammons.
Sammons was second in the Big
South league by hitting with a .396
batting average. Following the sea-

sons end, Lee became the fifth Au-
gusta College player to be drafted
into professional baseball, signing
with the 1989 World Champions,
Oakland Athletics. Sammons also
became the career batting leader
with a .408 batting average while at
Augusta College. "Lee will be missed
not only as a competitive player, but
as a team leader," says Coach Fite.

Making the All-Big South team for
his first time was junior first baseman
Bobby Jay. Jay slugged for a .331 av-
erage and showed excellent speed in
playing his position.

At the top of Augusta Colleges
pitching staff was senior Tim Hunter
and freshman Scott Henley. Henley
complied a 5-3 record. Scott had his
greatest moment hurling the victory
over the University of Georgia. Team
captain and senior lefthander Tim
Hunter compiled a 6-10 record.

Highlights from this season includ-
ed a fast start with a 9-1 record
opening win against Southern Tech
February 19, 1989 and defeating the
talented USC Aiken team 4-3 for the
first time in three seasons.

The return of a talented young
team and an excellent recruiting sea-
son made the 88-89 season one to
remember. The coming seasons will
have a bright outlook under the
guidance of Coach Fite. Augusta
College baseball has proved itself
before and shown that they are mo-
tivated to win.

"We will
have an
excellent
defensive club,
with good
speed in the
outfield and
experience
in the
infield/'

With a nucleus of talent in
all of the swimming areas,
walk-on team members from
around the campus added
their skill, speed, and stamina
to the Lady Aqua-Jags. All of
this talent and potential en-
abled the team to earn extra
points in the meets that might
have otherwise cost them a
win.

If you have never had the
opportunity to witness a swim
meet first hand, then you have
missed seeing the true mean-
ing of teamwork, spirit, and
sportsmanship all in action to-
gether.

Since each swimmer is able
to participate in three or four
individual races or heats per
meet, each swimmer is able to
contribute her best skills to
the team. With Suzanne John-
son maximizing her skills in

elcome
Competition

backstroke and butterfly, An-
tigone Foust outstanding as a
sprinter and Laurie Holiday
overpowering others in div-
ing, it was not as hard for
Coach Jeff Rout to distribute
talent to all events and maxi-
mize AC Aqua-Jag points.

The coach plays a vital part
in the success of a swimming
team. Besides supervising
practices which are vital to the
improvement of a swimmers
performance, he must also de-
termine what team member
would most benefit the team
in each category. He must also
take into consideration who
the opponents are for the dif-
ferent heats. A coach may
change his entries of swim-
mers for each event right up
to the last minute the event is
called. If keeping up with the
expertise of the swimmers on

your own team wasn't a hand-
ful enough, imagine keeping
track of the abilities and line-
up of the opposing team!

Not only do the Lady Aqua-
Jags show their above average
abilities in the water, the team
and Coach Rout are equally
proud to boast that this team
has the highest combined GPA
of any athletic group on cam-
pus. With a combined GPA of
all the swimmers of a 3.7, they
have shown as much time, ef-
fort, and practice go into their
studies as well as to creating a
winning team.

Spiking Spirit

The 1989 Volleyball Season was
transitional period for both the play-
ers and the newly acquired coach.
Adapting to new found ways and
ideas seemed to have a lasting effect
on the team's overall court perfor-
mance. However, through team spir-
it and devotion, they will overcome
the disappointment of the season.

First year head coach Steve De-
Boer, gave a commendable attempt
in making the essential modifications
to enhance the team's group perfor-
mance. Obviously, every coach's
goal is to instill commaraderie, moti-
vation, and knowledge of the sport
to ensure not only an exciting game
for the fans to enjoy, but also self-
discipline and respect for the game.
Coach DeBoer has done and will
continue to do a great job at intensi-
fying the player's innate abilities as
well as their knowledge of court
performance. He states, "It was a

great learning year. We went
through a lot of changes and en-
countered much rebuilding. Next
year we will look for growth as well
as added stability."

Additional impediments of a suc-
cessful season were hapless injuries.
Ankle injuries to Debbie Born, Peg-
gy Stoming, and Debbie Crist re-
duced the number of players on the
team to the required six.

Despite the happenings (good and
bad) of the season, there were some
players who performed exceptional-
ly well. Junior Caroline Platte, Soph-
omore Peggy Stoming, Junior Fran-
cean Leverette, and Sophomore
Debbie Born had excellent individ-
ual performances. They are to be
congratulated for the showmanship
and dedication they expressed on
the court and off.

The attitude of the players was the
most significant aspect displayed by

the volleyball team this year. They
remained tough, unyeilding, and
competitive right down to the last
game of the season despite a losing
record. These characteristics, more
than any of the others they could
possess, insures the Lady Jaguars of
much deserved success. Endurance,
desire, and initiative are key factors
in determining whether or not suc-
cess is within their grasp. By my esti-
mation, they are not far away from
reaching their desired ambition.

Hopefully, next season will bring
with it the changes and expectations
that Coach DeBoer and the Lady
Jaguars are so anxiously awaiting. If
stamina and assertiveness are need-
ed to obtain those expectations,
they will indoubtedly be the recipi-
ents of a winning season.

Intramurals

Have you ever come up short on
cash when it comes to working out
in a health club?

Couple being broke with unbend-
ing work schedules and relentless
classwork and you have a problem
that faces many Augusta College stu-
dents who want to keep fit.

Take heart, because there is a solu-
tion, and it may be the best kept
secret at AC: The intramural pro-
gram.

"We're offering basketball and
hopefully volleyball winter quarter
1990," said coach Denny Bureau
Burau, who oversees the program.

"The program is open to both men
and women this year because not
enough women sign up to form sep-
arate teams."

Some of the appealing aspects of
intramural sports include: indoor fa-
cilities, flexible game times of 12
p.m. and 1 p.m., and a chance to
work out with friends free of charge.

Currently, there are 70 to 80 stu-
dents involved in the flag football
competition. These games are well
organized, fast games are well orga-
nized, fast paced, and exciting to
watch.

"It's fun and good exercise," said
freshman David Franqui. "We're just
a bunch of guys who like to com-
pete." Franqui plays receiver for Tau
Kappa Epsilon which is one of the six
teams in the football program.

An average of 140 to 160 students
are expected to turn out for basket-
ball, the most popular intramural
sport, according to Burau. The pro-
gram also features two-pitch softball,
a modified version of regular soft-
ball, in the spring. Weightlifting has
also been offered in the past when
there is demand by students.

"We really expect the program to
explode over the next two to three
years due to the Forest Hills facility,"
explained Burau.: "Right now we ca-
ter to day students, but that's going
to change."

Beyond exercise, all intramural
sports offer a playoff tournament.
The single-elimination tournaments
determine respective champions,
with tee shirts awarded to winners.

Bureau added, "Faculty members
are not permitted to play flag foot-
ball due to the nature of the game."

Battle Of

WITS

The AC Greeks took on the Ath-
letics in a battle of wits Wednesday,
March 8 before an enthusiastic
crowd of about 200 in the CAC.

"World Rap" followed a game-
show format, complete with a host
(Larry Canupp), a shapely assistant
(Tammy Stout), and sound effects.
Sponsored by the Informed Students
Association as part of the public rela-
tions campaign that was waged over
current events in the classroom, the
game featured questions ranging
from Savannah River Plant to politics
to movies to sports.

The questions were drawn at ran-
dom from a globe. Students Valerie
Carter and Kelsey Kemple took
turns on a small trampoline with the
globe to ensure the questions were
properly mixed before each round.

"World Rap" inspired students
Ronald Wiggins and Sylvia Gregory
to write a rap song for the event en-
titled, what else, "World Rap." Car-
los Marshall performed the song on
tape as a prelude to the show.

Panel members for the Athletics
were Lauri Holliday of the swimming
team, Tripp Bowden from the golf
team, the basketball team's Mike
O'Neill and Tim Hunter of the base-
ball team.

The Greeks were represented by
Tony Duggan of Pi Kappa Phi, Mar-
garet McGinnis from Omega Xi Epsi-
lon, Willie Saunders of Delta Chi,
and Zeta Tau Alpha's Melanie Eden-

field.

Each side was given a question and
a few seconds to confer with team-
mates before answering. Five points
were added for a correct answer. At
the conclusion of the hour-long
event, the scores were tallied with
the Athletics taking a slim 30 to 25
victory.

Cannup, one of the organizers,
said the event came off smoothly,
considering the lack of rehearsal.
"We put all of this together by the
seat of our pants," said Cannup.

"The crowd participation speaks for
itself that it (current events) can be
fun."

While "World Rap" was going on
inside the CAC, Chris Pinkerton and
the students Against Current Events
Testing were giving away popcorn in
the lobby. Pinkerton saw the event
as a major setback for his side. "I
thought it was a big blow against us,
really. I thought they handled it
pretty professionally."

More than Books

Libraries Versatility Appeals To Jaguars

Reese Library, with a collection of
approximately 450,000 volumes, is
the largest library in the CSRA.
While it often serves the needs of
the community, its main responsibil-
ity is to the students and faculty of
Augusta College.

Physically located in the center of
campus, the library is also the center
of activity because of the variety of
functions and services it offers to the
college community. The traditional
role of providing books and maga-
zines for study and research is sup-
plemented by other information ser-
vices, including online database
searching and inter-library loans.

able for students to use, as well as

listening stations and meeting rooms
for group study are also now consid-
ered as essential library services.

In the near future more comput-
ers will be in evidence in the library,
as automation work on the catalog
nears completion. Library users will
be able to use an online catalog to
search for materials, instead of the
currently available microfiche cata-
log.

Libraries such as ours, with a large
and diverse collection, are some-
times viewed as intimidating and
confusing places. But librarians are
able to help people quickly become
familiar with the library and feel
comfortable in using its materials.
Many students receive their initial

introduction to Reese Library
through tours and classes arranged
by professors as part of their courses.
Through these sessions, students are
able to learn how to find and use
many of the available resources.

Librarians encourage all students,
not just those involved in library
classes, to ask for help in learning
about the wealth of information the
library holds. Reference librarians
are always on duty during the more
than 80 hours per week Reese Li-
brary is open. We are here to assist
you, the Augusta College students
and faculty, in getting the maximum
benefit from your library.

// Union"izing For Fun

The Student Union is the branch
of the Student Government Associa-
tion responsible for providing social
as well as educational entertainment
for the campus community. In 88-89,
this was accomplished with over
twenty events attended by more
than nine thousand people. There
was definitely something for every-
body during the three quarters.

Union set the pace for a great year
with a super fall quarter. Everything
started with Union's first annual Back
to School Jam. This first day of school
party included music by the Hipno-
tics and free sodas from Pepsi. A
couple of weeks later, students
treated themselves to self serve sun-
daes at the Ice Cream Party in the
CAC lobby. Students had a chance
to stuff their faces again with authen-
tic German food in Mid-October at
Oktoberfest. The Channelheimers
Oompah Band entertained the
crowd as everyone enjoyed AC's
first Oktoberfest to be held outside
in the Quadrangle. For Halloween,
treats were provided in the cafeteria
during the day and all over campus
that night. Night students were liter-
ally catered to with the first of the
quarterly Time Out! programs with
free coffee and doughnuts during

the breaks.

Student Union's Winter calendar
was no less exciting. On January 19,
ventriloquist Jeff Dunham with
friends Peanut the Woozle, Jose the
Jalepeno, a gorilla and a talking
worm had students rolling with
laughter in two shows at the CAC.
Homecoming week in early February
brought Mardi Gras to AC. The
week included a French Market Ba-
zaar, an Ice Cream Party, harpist
Harvi Griffin, the jazz of the Swamp
Cats, as well as another Night Stu-
dents' Time Out! The Boomers
topped off the festivities at the An-
nual Homecoming Dance. Valen-
tine's Day was celebrated with free
treats both during the day and in the
evening. AC's own Jazz II gave an
outstanding performance in a con-
cert on the first day of March. The
next day, caricature artist Steve Gip-
son amused a couple of hundred
students with his humorous illustra-
tions. Union rounded out the quar-
ter with a free Family Night featuring
Walt Disney's "Snow White".

Opening Spring quarter was co-
median Melvin George with his
unique sense of cool. In May, Union
gave away one hundred dollars in
prizes for a campus wide Scavenger

Hunt. A different kind of music was
introduced to many AC students by
Kirby Shelstad. Shelstad amazed and
pleased the crowd with incredible
music played through an Apple
Macintosh computer and a few syn-
thesizers. Student Union finished
the quarter and the year with a two
day, three party Memorial Day cele-
bration for both day and night stu-
dents.

In an effort to find new and excit-
ing programs for AC students, mem-
bers of Student Union traveled to
Winston-Salem, North Carolina for a
National Association for Campus Ac-
tivities Southeast regional confer-
ence. Also, in February, Union mem-
bers got together with students from
all over the United States and Cana-
da for a national convention in Nash-
ville, Tennessee. These two confer-
ences gave students the chance to
view acts, trade information, and
learn more about campus program-
ming. Back to school, Student Union
met weekly to discuss, think up, and
plan all of the various programs for
the year.

Tim Bond

Student Union sponsored many activities dur-
ing the school year. The "Back to School
Jam", and "The Casters" (tennis golf) were just
two.

Tuition Hiked By Four Percent

When students registered for
classes at Augusta College Summer
Quarter, they noticed they had to
dig a little deeper in their pockets to
come up with tuition money. The
Board of Regents approved a four-
percent hike in tuition for colleges
in the University System.

While tuition went up only four
percent, some of the fees charged in
the registration process registered
much higher increases. The matricu-
lation fee, for example, went up 15
percent. The per quarter-hour fee
rose from $32 to $33, while the non-
resident charge was hiked from $763
to $794.

A Georgia resident taking five
hours at AC paid a total of $224 in
tuition and fees with the increase.
Ten hours cost a total of $389, while
an in-state student taking 12 or more
hours paid a total of $456 in tuition

and fees at AC.

Non-resident students paid a total
of $554 in tuition and fees for five
hours of instruction, $1,048 for 10
hours and $1,250 for 12 hours.

While the AC hike in fees hurt
pocketbooks, students at other
Georgia institutions were hit with a
much bigger bill. At Georgia Tech,
for example, fee increases added
more than $200 to students registra-
tion bill. Nationally, many colleges
and universities expected to raise tu-
ition and fees in the range of seven
to 15 percent.

This increase was actually less than
the level of inflation during this time.
Figures released by the Bush admin-
istration pegged inflation at a six-
percent annual rate.

taline SM02 blind embossed.

The cover material is Styline royal blue #533 with #1172 cord
grain. Certain areas of the cover were stamped with #381 silver
foil. The logo design was blind embossed, the title is 60 point
brush stroked and the typeface is 14 point Century Schoolbook.

Columbia

County

Campus

Opens

While most of us returned to the Wal-
ton Way campus when school started,
over 200 students reported for classes at
the new Columbia county branch, located
at Augusta Preparatory School on Flowing
Wells Road.

According to AC Registrar Greg Witch-
er, Academic Vice President William Dun-
ifon deserves most of the credit for the
new facility. Dunifon "spearheaded" the
idea after recognizing the demand for
more conveniently-located classes for
Columbia County students who otherwise
do not travel daily to Augusta.

Administration had no real attendance
projections about the new campus, ac-
cording to Witcher, because this is the
first time such an expansion project has
been tried. Fall quarter 1988, approxi-
mately 110 academic students were en-
rolled, along with about the same number
of Continuing Education students.

Most of the accredited classes were
core-curriculum, such as History 211, En-
glish 101, and Math 107, and are taught at
night. Also offered were developmental
studies, accounting, and psychology class-
es. Several more advanced classes were
added when the success of the new cam-
pus was seen.

A Need For Social Change

It is beyond my understanding
why so many people do little or
nothing to change the insufficient-
cies in our society. I must commend
those who are fighting to change the
imperfections, however these indi-
viduals are only a minor voice in
what should be a major ingredient
for social change. Poverty, the
homeless, social inequality, and oth-
er concerns are the result of the
rampant downfall of values, cons-
cienceness, and responsibility that
we choose to ignore. Over the past
twenty years or so, nuclear war has
been a foremost thought in our
minds. Yet, it is no longer a major
threat. We, as peers, fellow citizens,
and occupants of the 'and of free-
dom and opportunity' are the rein-
forcers of our own fate.

The fight to control drugs in our
neighborhoods, our schools, and our
businesses is failing. The past and
present administration contends
that the millions of dollars spent
each year are used to combat the
problem. While I do not disagree
with their methods, the drug epi-
demic has continually gotten worse.
It is my opinion that the government
can not start at root of the problem
(which is with the outside countries
selling drugs to people in the United
States). We must start where the
mass hysteria lies; in our neighbor-
hoods, businesses, and schools. Be-
cause the government continues to
neglect the detrimental side effects
of the predicament, the citizens

must devise ways to stop the drugs
ourselves. Many of our children are
caught in the crossfire of the drug
war and if no one else takes the re-
sponsibility to alter society, then we
must accept it as our duty; if only to
preserve the future generation.

A recent issue that has come to
light is the dishonesty of those indi-
viduals we have been conditioned to
trust from generation to generation.
These people are elected politicians
and clergymen. There are no other
individuals who we voluntarily relin-
quish most of our powers of deci-
sions or rely on for guidance. Be-
cause latest string of evangelists who
have fallen from grace and politi-
cians who are resigning at an unbe-
lievable haste, we must question our
unconscious devotion to them.

Education, which has always been
in need for social change, is still far
behind our European and Asian
counterparts. The major cause of
this is the lack of discipline within
the school and our households.
There has always been a sense of
family cohension in these societies,
yet Americans fall short of instilling
these values. When there is an abs-
cence of motivation by the parents
in the home, we can only suspect
that it has vital consequences in their
children's performance.

Social inequality is, by far, the
most prevailent aspect of our society
in need for social change. It would
be ludicrous to believe this dilemma
can be solved immediately. Howev-

er, we must concieve that it is not
important to understand one anoth-
er's ideology, yet acceptance of our
individual differences is not only hu-
mane, but essential for our future
existence.

It seems strange that an entire
country lent a sympathetic ear to a
little girl by the name of Jessica Mc-
Clure during her tragic ordeal in
Texas a couple of years ago. I am, by
no means, making light of the inci-
dent. Yet, it seems odd that such an
isolated incident receives more cov-
erage than the many longstanding
perplexities such as the homeless,
proverty, racism, and sexism in our
society. These issues that are plagu-
ing more and more of our neighbor-
hoods are noticed by some, but are
receiving a cold shoulder by others
who feel that it is not their problem.
I beg to differ. Society produced
thee problems and therefore, we
must find solutions to resolve them.

Obviously, the key to overall social
change is an alternation in individual
values and ideas that we teach our
children and, in turn, they teach
theirs. Michael Jackson explains the
situation as simply this, "I'm talking
to the man in the mirror. I'm asking
him to change his ways. No message
could have been any clearer. If you
want to make the world a better
place, take a look at yourself and
make a change." If we can not orga-
nize methods to come to terms with
disagreements, help our fellow citi-
zens, and work together for the ad-
vancement of Americans as whole,
we will be preparing out children for
a society filled with proverty, hatred,
and self-defeating circumstances.

Review:

1988-1989

The 1988-1989 year brought us
many new and exciting news events
to make the time even more memo-
rable. From events that happened
around the world to those right here
in Augusta, from Royalty births, ce-
lebrity deaths and happenings in be-
tween, its the news that keeps us in
touch with the world and makes the
memories for our tomorrows. These
are just a few of the ups and downs
we recalled that made headlines and
helped to make the school year
"More Than You Think."

The Supreme Court ruled that
burning the American flag is a con-
stitutionally protected means of ex-
pression.

George Bush took over the Presi-
dential seat ending Ronald Regans
eight year position.

Rob Lowe sentenced to serve
community service by speaking at
schools for his part in the Atlanta sex
tape scandal.

Oprah Winfrey changes her image
by losing 62 pounds.

Ex-Speaker of the House Jim
Wright resigns his position after be-
ing investigated by the House's Eth-
ics Committee.

Richmond Academy football play-
er Freddie Hudson was injured and
paralyzed during an ARC game.

The Supreme Court took another
look at the long standing Roe v.
Wade case that made abortion legal.

The Space Shuttle made another
successful mission to space after a
two year stand still. The safety of this
mission was top priority.

Pete Rose was banned from base-
ball for life after illegally gambling on
his sport.

America declares war on the drug

cartels in Columbia.

Ben Johnson won a gold medal in
the 1988 Olympics and at the same
time set a new worlds record for the
100 meter dash. The medal was later
taken from him after testing positive
to steroid use.

Princess Fergie and Prince Andrew
are now the proud parents of a baby
girl, Beatrice Elizabeth Mary.

University of Georgia's football
coach, Vince Dooley, left his posi-
tion after a 25 year reign. Ray Goff
now rules the Bulldogs.

America lost much loved comedy
favorite Lucille Ball, singer Roy Orbi-
son, Congressman Claude Pepper
and actress Gilda Radner.

Even more familiar to us would be
the event happening here on the AC
campus . . .

Computerized On-Line Polling
System (COPS) was put into use for
the Student Government elections.

The Housing Complex for AC was
finally opened after many postpone-
ments.

The campus was extended to Au-
gusta Prepartory Day School for all
those Columbia County residents
who need evening classes.

Softball season was canceled due
to the women's basketball bus crash
in which many of the girls who
played both sports were injured.

Tuition was increased by four per-
cent.

The exchange program made of
ten AC students and faculty mem-
bers going to Beijing, China for the
summer of 1989 was postponed in-
definately due to the student uprise
in Beijing.

American Adults
Fail Geography

According to a recent internation-
al survey by the National Geographic
Society, it seems that most American
adults have no idea where they are.

The society tested the geographi-
cal knowledge of 10,820 people, in-
cluding 1,116 Americans. Adults in
the United States tied for sixth place
with Great Britian; only Mexico and
Italy scored lower. Americans be-
tween the ages of 18-24 were more
geographically ignorant than any
other group in the survey.

(cont on pg 149)

Student Unrest
In Beijing

The Beijing uprise has been the
most horrifying ordeal in recent his-
tory. Approximately three to five
thousand students were viciously
murdered in Tiananmen Square
(Beijing, China). The Chinese Army
Troops invaded the square during
the early morning hours Saturday,
June third. They crushed innocent
students as they slept and shot oth-
ers at gun point. It was the most vile
incident to be witnessed by many
viewers all over the globe.

China students protested for de-
mocracy for a little more than a
month before the mass killings took
place. Although the demonstration
started with tens of thousands of stu-
dents protesting in the square, the
number of participants dwindled
dramatically after the Chinese gov-
ernment declared martial law. The
conservative Chinese leader, Li
Peng, has been called every name in
the book by not only Chinese citi-
zens, but by citizens of other coun-
tries for approving the armies ac-
tions.

Because it is difficult to get infor-
mation in China, Chinese citizens
outside of Beijing pleaded for the
foreign press to remain in Beijing so
that they are able to contact family
and friends in Beijing who are egerly
awaited details about the happen-
ings in the country.

1988-89 REVIEW

The
Year
In
Movies

The Year In Movies was highly
successful. For the first time in movie
history, the five Oscar nominees
were viewed by the general public.
This year brought cinemotography
history with Who Framed Roger
Rabbit, brilliant performances by
Dustin Hoffman for Rain Man, Jodi
Foster for The Accused, and, unsu-
prisingly, Meryl Streep for A Cry in
the Dark.

You are sure to remember most of
these box office smashes. Who could
forget the comedies Twins, Dirty
Rotten Scoundrels, The Burbs and
Big (two Tom Hanks hits), and A Fish
called Wanda. Some of the Drama
hits that we couldn't miss were Rain
Man, Gorillas in the Mist and Work-
ing Girl (both with Sigorney
Weaver), Dangerous Liasons and Te-
quila Sunrise.

Even with a single ticket at the
evening matinee topping the $5
mark, viewership didn't dwindle.
Buttered popcorn, a large coke and a
date at the movies was the way to
spend a Friday evening. 1988-89 was
surely a year for Movies.

Geography

(Cont)

Gilbert Grosvenor, President of
the National Geographic Society,
points out, "Our adult population,
especially our young adults, do not
understand the world at a time in
our history when we face a critical
economic need to understand for-
eign consumers, markets, customs,
opportunities and responsibilities. If
we don't understand place and loca-
tion, than the consequences of
events lose meaning."

Even though we were involved
militarily in the Persian Gulf, 75 per-
cent of adult Americans could not
point to it on a map. More than
50,000 Americans died in Vietnam,
but two-thirds of Americans don't
know where that country is.

Despite ongoing trade problems
with Japan, less than half could iden-
tify that country on a map. That same
amount of Americans could not
point South Africa either.

Even though tension between the
United States and the Soviet Union
stretches back for decades, one in
four Americans couldn't identify
Russia, the largest country in the
world on a world map.

But Americans geographical igno-
rance is not limited to foreign coun-
tries. About one-half of respondants
could not place New York or Illinois
correctly on a map of the United
States. When looking at a world map,
one out of seven Americans did not
even know where the United States
was.

The United States has eliminated
the study of geography in all but two
states; in most schools it has been
incorporated and subsequently lost
in a new invention known as "social
studies." Only 10 percent of Ameri-
can teachers instructing geography
majored in it in college.

"If we are to be influential in re-
solving ... a whole host of . . . is-
sues, we must be geographically lit-
erate," Grosvenor said.

Student attendance,
participation, and diversity as well
as cohesion are undoubtedly main
factors in shaping a successful
college. At AC, the staff's foremost
objective is io devise means to
satisfy the students. Changes are
made, mistakes are modified, and
problems are discussed so that
students are encouraged to spread
the word about the benefits of
being an AC students. The
students have the responsibility to

voice differing opinions and
adhere to the rules derived by
their peers and the AC
administration. The students are
advised to seek actions to change
things that are thought of as unfair
and are also encouraged to
become a part of the decision
making process. Student input
helps to make life at AC exciting
and interesting. _ Dana Hamilton

Six of AC's most promising students are to be
commended for being apart of Who's Who of
the American Universities and Colleges.

AC is proud to have been a key factor in the
seniors education and wishes them much de-
served success.

Approximately ',000 students each quarter

WHO'S WHO AMONG STU-
DENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSI-
TIES & COLLEGES is a national honor
conferred annually upon outstand-
ing student leaders from colleges
and universities throughout the
United States. This award recognizes
combined achievement in academ-
ics, campus leadership, and service
to the institution and community at
large. During the 1988-1989 school
year, six students were chosen from
Augusta College as Who's Who stu-
dents.

What a student leader.
He gives Joe Cool a
bad name.

Barbara E. Harmon is a Senior with
plans to graduate in June of 1989.
She is planning to pursue a doctorate
in English and then teach on the col-
lege level. She would also like to
continue a career in the area of short
story writing. While at Augusta Col-
lege, Barbara acted as the President
of the English Club and participated
on the Student Ambassador Board.
She also utilized her writing talent
and gave the Bell Ringer many arti-
cles to keep the campus informed.

She acted, directed and managed
AC Theater productions with the
Drama Club and with the little spare
time she had left, she made the
Dean's List, volunteered for United
Cerebral Palsy, and worked as a
Pharmacy Technician, coordinated
the Bell Ringer office, and managed
an apartment duplex. With so much
dedication to her studies, campus
and community, it is plain to see why
Barbara deserved this honor.

Phillip S. Hibbard is a Junior with
plans to graduate in June of 1990.
After graduation, he plans to go on
to law school and eventually enter
into private practice specializing in
business or contract law. Phillip also
hopes to become very involved in
government service and gain some
entreprenuerial experience. AC saw
Phillip in many activities and posi-
tions on campus such as President of
the Student Government Associa-
tion, Senator and Parliamentarian of
the Student Senate, and an active
member of the Judicial Cabinet. He

gave his time to at least eight com-
mittees on campus; two of which
were the College Council and Aca-
demic Policies Committee. The list
does not stop there. Phillip was a
voting delegate to the Student Advi-
sory Council while still remaining on
the Dean's List consistently. He man-
aged to keep in the middle of things
by Managing the Student Activities
Office in the evenings. Phillip is sure
to make many contributions with his
leadership abilities and concern for
the student body's well-being.

Sheila Kaye O'Neal is a Senior
with plans to graduate in the Fall of
1988. She will then go on to Augusta
College's Graduate Program to re-
ceive her MBA. A Ph.D. is next in
line with a career in teaching and
research work at a college immedi-
ately after. Her participation in the
college is as diversified as one can
get. She acted as President for the
Marketing Club in 1988, represent-
ed the School of Business Adminis-
tration at the Open House in '88, and
did research work for the Board of

Advisors. The Dean's List sported
Sheila's name consistently. While
working as a Graduate Assistant for
Dr. Mary Mobley in the School of
Business Administration, Sheila vol-
unteered for the 1989 Publicity
Committee for the Rowing Regatta,
as a student member of the Greater
Augusta Advertising Club and
helped as a student assistant for the
small Business Development Center.
All the experience Sheila has gained
and her dedication will surely make
her a success.

Devarra Danielle Watson is a Sen-
ior with plans to graduate in June of
1989 with a BS in Biology. Medical
School is Dede's next order of busi-
ness. Dede participated in the Stu-
dent Senate 86-89, with her last year
knowing her as the Senate Chair-
man. She was a member of Tri-Beta,
the Drama Guild and the Student
Ambassador Board. She volunteered
her time to at least five campus com-
mittees such as the Student Activi-
ties Committee and the Lyceum
Committee. Drama Guild found her
helping in the production and man-
agement of several of their perfor-

mances. Consistently being on the
Dean's List steered her to becoming
a member of Phi Kappa Phi. Dede
also received the Scholastic
Achievement Award her Freshman,
Sophomore and Junior years. She
was a Faculty Scholar and previously
honored as a Who's Who candidate.
She made time to serve as a Biology
and Chemistry Lab Assistant along
with joining the Chemistry Club. Phi
Kappa Phi honored Dede with an
Honorable Mention Scholarship for
Graduate Study. This award was
earned and well deserved. Dede is
an ideal Who's Who student.

Wesley R. Gardner is a Sen-
ior with plans to graduate
in June of 1989. He is plan-
ning to obtain a Bachelor's of Music
Degree. After completing his music
degree, he plans to pursue a degree
in psychology eventually studying
the psychology of music on the
graduate level. During his college ca-

Jennifer Levon Hurst is a Senior
with plans to graduate in June of
1989. She kept herself very in-
volved with the activities on campus
by participating in the Spanish Club,
.and Editing the Sand Hills Literary
Magazine. She was one of the select
few who was chosen to be a member
of the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society.

reer, Wesley participated in the AC
Choir and served as President. He
was the soloist for "Seven Last Words
of Christ" and "Handel's Messiah".
He was Treasurer of the Chamber
Choir. The Opera Workshop will re-
member him for his roles in "Mika-
do", "Wonderful Town", "Boys
From Syracuse", and "HMS Pin-
That is no doubt since Jennifer re-
mained on the Dean's List regularly.

Awards were no stranger to this stu-
dent either. The Academic Award in
Spanish for 1988 and the Scholastic
Award 1986-1988 were given to her
deservedly. In her spare time, Jenni-
fer works as a tutor at the college

afore". Wesley also served as a stu-
dent representative on the Fine Arts
Committee and consistently was
honored on the Dean's List.

Outside of school, he was the
Minister of Music at Kiokee Baptist
Church and worked 30-40 hours a
week in a sales position with Powers
Baldwin.

has received does not stop there.
One of the most important awards
Jennifer has received is the United

1988-1989. It's no wonder that

again.

was a great success. Sponsored by Pi Kap-

Shepeard Community Center is always in

lives. Thanks to all those who donated!

the CAC. Along with this drill, the ROTC
also goes on Survival Weekends and takes
part in Military exercises with other col-

Childcare was as essential to some stu-
dents as are books to class. The students
could drop off their children before class
and have peace of mind knowing their
kids were in capable hands. The child's
daily activities ranged from fingerpainting
to coloring to recess on the playground.
The day care was also open to faculty and

Special Night
Fetes AC's Best

Sporadic thunderstorms and the
threat of tornadoes didn't stop stu-
dents and faculty, as well as some
proud parents, from attending Au-
gusta College Honors Convocation
May 5 in the Performing Arts The-
ater.

While the weather outside defina-
tely left something to be desired, in-
side the crowd of about 200 min-
gled.

The procession of faculty and ad-
ministrative staff filed into the the-
ater and took their seats on either
side of the stage. The professors
were followed by the students who
were to be honored. The stage was
brightly decorated with yellow, pink
and white flowers.

President Richard Wallace opened
the ceremony with an unusually
short speech telling of his regret that
the administration rarely dealt with
students who are well adjusted and
are doing well, only the ones who
are in trouble or having problems.

Academic awards were presented
by Vice President of Academic Af-
fairs, William Dunifon. School and
departmental awards were present-
ed by Dean Ronald Tallman of Arts
and Sciences, Dean Martha Farmer
of Business Administration and Dean
Joseph Murphy of Education. Duni-
fon against took the stage to recog-
nize this year's Phi Kappa Phi induct-
ees.

Vice President of Student Affairs
Fred Barnabei gave the publications
awards, presented to the students
who made it into "Who's Who," and
the award for service and leadership.

The Louis K. Bell Research Award
went to Ed Edmonds of the Psychol-
ogy Department for his productivity
in scholarly areas and in publishing
during his 20 years of service at AC.
The Outstanding Faculty Award
went to Mary Lisko for her excel-
lence in teaching and because she
"challenges students to do their
best." During the presentations Wal-
lace tried very hard to be vague so as
to not reveal anything about the re-
cipients before their names were
called. Several students received
more than one award over the
course of the evening. Devarra
(Dede) D. Watson and Sheila Kay
O'Neal both collected four awards,
while Phillip Hibbard and Jennifer
Hurst claimed three apiece.
