SERIOUSLY

There is no doubt that Augusta College is
a commuter school. The students that at-
tend our facilities range from the average
18-22 year-old college students to house
wives, fathers, and even senior citizens at-
tending college for the first time or to ob-
tain additional degrees. There are no dorm
on campus, and it could be said easily that
over half of AC students have full-time
jobs.

Yet, aside from the common stereotype of
a commuter school, Augusta College has a
little bit more to offer than one might imag-
ine.

This year marked the annual opening of
the multimillion dollar sports complex.
Come on folks, if you have seen it, you
know it is something for AC to be truly
proud of. And what about college station?
Sure, it might not be ON campus, but who
wants to live next door to your French class
or public safety? College Station provides
the perfect campus life. And if you really
think about it, the apartments at college
station are even better than dorms. You
don't have to sign up your girlfriend or
boyfriend in order to see them, and there
are no visiting hour or co-ed rules! What is
not to like!

In addition to the positive side of a social
life at college station, is Greek life. Many
AC students don't even know that it exists.
This is really too bad because the Greeks

are always putting together parties, socials,
and fund raisers. Going Greek is a great
way to meet people and to get involved. Pi
Kappa Phi, and Delta Chi Fraternities are
available to all the gentlemen on campus
and Zeta Tau Alpha, Omega Xi Epsilon,
and AKA are available for the ladies. Go
ahead, go greek!

And you say there is no night entertain-
ment in Augusta? Have you visited The
Great Escape, Red Lion Pub, or The Post
Office lately? And if you are not quite that
magic twenty-one age yet, try Cotton Row
Cafe at the Riverwalk. The live entertain-
ment is great.

There is even an advantage in academics.
The classes are smaller at a commuter
school so you have the advantage of getting
to know your teachers on a one-to-one ba-
sis. It's not so bad, I promise! If you ever
have a problem or a question, you know
that it won't be a problem to talk to them.

Augusta College is not the size of UGA or
FSU; however, since you are here, you may
as well make the most of it. Take advantage
of what is available to you. Get involved in
things that you might not have a chance to
do if you were enrolled in a larger school
where more students would be competing
for the open slots.

Stop sitting around, and start taking Au-
gusta College seriously. It WILL work for
you!

Stress Is Just

STRESSFUL

Shannon Sumerau hopes
she never has another quarter
like the winter of '89.

It was her second quarter at
Augusta College, a quarter
filled with biology labs, term
papers, mathematics formu-
las, and long hours spent at
the library. She was deter-
mined to keep up her grades,
but she says her workload al-
ways seemed overwhelming.
By mid-term, she was suffer-
ing nausea and migraine
headaches, all of which the
doctor said were caused by
stress.

"I don't really know how it
got to be so bad," said Su-
merau, now a junior mathe-
matics major. "Around mid-
term, I just got really sick, but
I didn't want to miss school.
It got so bad, I'd get out of the
car and on the way to class I'd
have to find a trash can to get
sick in."

Looking back, Sumerau can
understand the pressure she
was under. "I was taking biol-
ogy and precalculus and En-
glish 102," Sumerau said. "I'd
go to bed feeling sick and
wake up feeling sick and go to
school feeling sick. The doc-
tor just said I had to quit wor-
rying, and after I quit worry-
ing so much, the migraines
went away."

Sumerau was a little victim
of something many college
students experience from
time to time: too much stress.
And while the demands of at-
tending college can at times
seem overwhelming. Coun-
selor Jan Guyden says it's im-
portant to remember that
stress is a natural part of life.

"Stress is just a realistic as-

pect of daily life," said Guy-
den, a stress counselor at
AC's Counseling and Testing
Center. "If we had no stress,
we'd be dead. Only if it gets to
the point where it's unman-
ageable does it start causing
problems.

The Counseling and Test-
ing Center conducts a quar-

"Stress in itself is
not a bad thing. It is
a normal neuro-
logical response to
threats."

Jan Guyden,

terly seminar on stress which
is aimed at making students
aware of the nature of stress.
During the seminar, Guyden
emphasizes that stress is the
body's natural reaction to
anything it perceives as a
threat.

"It's not a concept of good
stress or bad stress, or react-
ing to stress as you
shouldn't," Guyden said.
"Stress in itself is not a bad
thing. It's a normal neuro-
logical response to threats."

When the stress response is
triggered, the heart rate in-
creases, blood pressure rises,
and muscles become increas-
ingly tense. If the body re-
mains in this state over a long
period of time, health prob-
lems could result.

"In early days, when early
man was in a state of stress,
he could either club the wool-

ly mammoth or run like hell.
Times have changed, but the
body still reacts the same
way," Guyden said. "Now the
woolly mammoths tend to be
things without definitive so-
lutions, like job difficulties or
relationship problems or fi-
nancial worries."

Or school.

Senior political science ma-
jor Angie Attaway says her
studies "play a very, very,
very, very big part" in the
amount of stress she feels.
Attaway says the most stress-
ful times for her fall at the
end of every quarter.

"There was one time when
I didn't have my term paper
the day it was suppose to be
due," Attaway said. "I was
nervous all day, but the pro-
fessor gave me an extension.
But I always get stressed out
at the end of the quarter."

Other students become
anxious at the start of each
new quarter. "At the begin-
ning of the quarter I made up
my mind I'd make all A's. I
told everybody I was going to
do it," said senior English
major Abbie Marsh. "But
then I decided the only person
I'd let down would be myself,
so I decided not to worry as
long as I wasn't going to fail."

Marsh is approaching grad-
uation and also plans to get
married in April. "I'm not as
stressed out this quarter as I
usually am," she said, "I can
finally see the light at the end
of the tunnel."

Guyden says students can
learn ways to deal with the
stress before the workload be-
comes too heavy to bear,
(continued on pg. 13)

(cont. from pg. 10)

Planning strategies to com-
plete tasks and learning to say
no to extra projects are two
possible ways students can
cut down on the number of
stressors in their lives.

Students should also be
aware of the many roles they
play outside the classroom.
"Most of us have multiple
roles that we juggle," Guyden
said. "We may be students,
parents, employees, siblings.
We get stressed out when the
demands for all these roles hit
us very quickly in succes-
sion." Although students try
to deal with these roles sepa-
rately, they don't always suc-
ceed.

"I like to be at school when
I'm at school, at work when
I'm at work, and at home
when I'm at home," said jun-
ior accounting major Terrie
Shelton. "But school tends to
dominate it all. I can't always
separate it."

Shelton says she makes an
effort to control stress. "I try
not to think about it," she
said. "Part of my problem is
that sometimes I procrasti-
nate, but I try not to let it all
get to me."

Guyden says students need
to find comfortable ways to
relax. Maintaining a support
group of family or friends
who are willing listeners is
one important way to allevi-
ate stress. Exercise is another
excellent way to relieve anxi-
ety.

"One if the most effective
ways for people to alleviate
stress is to include some type
of physical activity in their
lifestyle," Guyden said. "It
may not solve the stressor,
but it will allow the body to
work off that excessive state
of anxiety that accompanies
stress."

Attaway agrees. "I go walk-
ing or just do some kind of
exercise every day for about

45 minutes." But she's still
open to suggestions for new
ways to relax. "If anybody
comes up with a really great
way of relieving stress, they
need to let me know first."

Still, not every student ex-
ercise to get rid of tension. "I
eat, or sometimes I sleep or
watch TV and read maga-
zines," Marsh said. "I just try
to do something totally non-
threatening to my mind."

Sumerau takes a similar ap-
proach to relieving stress. "I
quit studying, take a nap, eat,
go shopping anything but
study, even if it's just sit," she
said. "But then you can't al-
ways get your mind off
school, so you really should
just sleep, I guess."

But no matter how students
deal with stress, they all
know when they feel it.

"Really," said Sheldon,
"stress is just stressful."

RESOURCES

Americans threw away
about 160 tor\s of trash last
year estimate the Amoco
chemical company. This is
enough to fill a line of 10-ton
garbage trucks halfway to the
moon. What do Augusta Col-
lege students forecast the
Earth to be like in 5-10 years?
And is anything being done
to help people become more
aware that there is a problem
in our own community?

Most of the trash that has
been thrown away is dumped
into landfills. Studies show
nothing in today's landfills
decomposes easily. In fact,
paper products, organic mate-
rials and even food scraps are
preserved in landfills. Recent-
ly excavations of some land
fills have turned up newspa-
pers buried 40 years ago, still

perfectly readable. And we're
running out of landfills.
There are only about 6,000 to-
day. Less than one-half of the
landfills in 1979 are operable
today. We're simply running
out of sites to dump the trash.

One of the possible solu-
tions to reduce the amount of
trash is the process of recy-
cling. Some of the items
which can be recycled are
yard wastes, paper, alumi-
num, glass, and plastics. Re-
cycling reduces the amount of
wastes actually deposited in
landfills. It also reserves our
natural resources. According
to America Beautiful Incorpo-
ration, recycling is the most
cost effective way to reduce
our solid waste.

Augusta College is not very
involved as a whole in this

process. The Biology club re-
cycles aluminum cans and a
few other recycle, but there's
no campus wide program yet.

Dr. Judy Gordon said, "We
have been trying to recycle
clubs together on campus for
the past 8 months, but we are
waiting until the state gives
us the go ahead. This will
probably takes about 6 more
months. We plan to recycle
white paper, colored paper,
and other paper products.

Our problem is where to
put it when we do get the o.k.
from state. We will need to
get receptacles. We will also
have to get cooperation from
clubs and organizations on
campus to help in funding."

Of 25 AC students sur-
veyed for this story, only 5
said they recycle; 20 did not.

Students take the time to recycle alumi-

up to fifty cents per pound for aluminum.

Improving The

ENVIRONMENT

r

(Cont. from pg. 14)

Freshmen Kim Price was
typical of the majority: "It's a
lot of trouble ar\d not worth it
because they don't pay hardly
anything." Wendy Johnson
agreed. "It just takes so much
time."

But JoAngela Edwins, a
junior, said her family recy-
cles newspaper, plastics, and
coke bottles. "We take them
to North Augusta recycling
center. We don't get paid for
it. The only reason we got in-
volved is because my neph-
ew's school got us started."

Curt Epps, a 23 year old
graduate student, feels the
problem is only going to get
worse in the future. "I think
it's going to get worse because
the problems and issues are
not being addressed properly.
For example the ozone deple-
tion is increasing, and oil
spills do not get resolved
completely. People don't seem
to realize the extent of the
problem. They keep putting
things off and saying they
will do something later, and
they will change it before it
gets too bad. Public aware-

ness is better but still not
enough to where people are
concerned enough for all the
problems that we have."

Is our community partici-
pating in the renewal of our
Earth? Not too long ago the
answer would have been no,
but thanks to Jill Korn the
answer is now yes. Earth Day
began last year in Augusta. It
was a day filled with informa-
tion and fun. People of all
ages came and learned about
different things going on in
our environment and what
can be done. For example,
people learned about the pro-
cess of recycling. Where to
take it? When to take it? And
most important Why?

Jill Korn is the founder and
the president as of December
1990. They now have official
status, a constitution, and
their very own board of direc-
tors. This is the first local en-
vironment organization in
our community. "There has
been a lot more focus on recy-
cling. There is a lot more un-
derstanding of the problem
and awareness of the people
that they are important and

they can make a difference.
This is a decade for environ-
ment. Hopefully by 2000 we
won't feel as threatened," said
Mrs. Korn.

This years Earth Day will
be celebrated on Sunday,
April 28, 1991 from 1p.m.-
6p.m. at Pendleton King Park.
Everyone is hoping this year
will be a bigger success than
last. It will be another day of
information and fun. Many
people say they can't do any-
thing because they are only
one person. Jill Korn would
have to disagree. "I'm one
person and I've seen what I've
done. One thought can
change the whole world. My
goal is to shift the concerns of
people in general locally. If
one change is made in a per-
son's lifestyle that will make
an accomplishment."

Will the world take on a
better and different perspec-
tive in the next 5-10 years?
"Even if it does not happen at
least I tried. I like to think
positively. That's what keeps
me going," said Mrs. Korn.

Reaching

NEW HEIGHTS

When Jeffrey Stewart, 34
received his bachelor's degree
in advertising in 1976, he
knew exactly what he wanted.
Everything. The Universe.

He couldn't n\ove fast
enough on that fast track of
big business marketing. Now
after more than 12 years, a
number of promotions and
several condos later, he's
ready to do something really
significant. This fall he will
enter the MBA program at
Augusta College. His compa-
ny will reimburse him for
part of the cost.

"We're living in a much
more competitive society,"
said Dr. Harry Kuniansky,
professor of business admin-
istration and coordinator for
economics, finance and mar-
keting.

For some, the decision to
seek an advanced degree is
made for them once they've
made the career choice.

For example, a master's de-
gree really doesn't get you a
whole lot in the field of jour-
nalism. On the other hand,
you can't think about practic-
ing law or medicine without
advanced degrees.

Augusta College offers
graduate programs through
the School of Business Ad-
ministration, the School of
Education, and the School of
Arts and Sciences.

"Your competitors in the
marketplace will have MBAs.
Just like an undergraduate de-

gree has become essential to
break in, the MBA is becom-
ing essential to getting
ahead," notes Kuniansky.

Daniel Gibson, a 22-year-
old Albany State College
graduate, earned a scholar-
ship toward his graduate
study at Augusta College and
landed a part-time position
with Bell South.

"I needed an added dimen-
sion. In the business field,
you need an edge or an advan-
tage. The courses weren't easy
but graduate school has paid
off tremendously for me,"
said Gibson.

Different strategies. Differ-
ent career goals. But the bot-
tom line is the bottom line.
Professional success is a mat-
ter of degree advanced de-
gree.

"Entry level salaries for
business students and engi-
neering students are high.
Without an advanced degree
it levels off quickly," said
Kuniansky.

As with Jeffrey Stewart,
graduating students often are
eager to get out on their own
and earn some money, pay
back student loans or just be-
gin to establish an indepen-
dent life.

Apart from the quick mon-
ey fix, some observers believe
that there also might be de-
cided strategic advantages in
working for a couple of years
before beginning graduate
study.

"It helps to have a real-life
perspective. In the MBA pro-
gram, the case study method
come to life only when you've
seen the situations in the real
workplace," said Valerie
Thomas, a graduate student at
Augusta College.

In the school of Education
of Augusta College, the Mas-
ter of Education program is
designed for the teacher
whose objective is to become
a master teacher possessing
the compentencies and attri-
butes needed to carry out re-
sponsibilities to the students
in the classroom and meet the
obligations of effective pro-
fessional performances.

"I enjoy teaching. There is
so much more material to
learn. You have to stay on top
of the current methods," said
Doris Fletcher, a graduate stu-
dent who is participating in
the program.

The School of Arts and Sci-
ences provides graduate and
undergraduate course work as
well as courses that are pre-
liminary to professional
training in such fields as en-
gineering, law, medicine, and
military science.

"Nursing is one of the hot-
test professions now. This de-
gree will make a different.
Advanced degrees definitely
give you an advantage," said
Caroline Maynard, who is
working on her graduate
nursing degree.

H The core curriculum offers a wide
variety of subjects for students. Classes
such as Sociology or Psychology may
draw a students interests toward pursuing
a career in the field. Being involved in
college also strengthens the interests one
may have in a field such as Journalism
through working for the school
newspaper.

Putting On A

NEW FACE

Those students who
dragged themselves out
of bed 10 minutes before
their first class and ex-
pected their morning
cup of coffee waiting for
them in the Butler Hall
snack bar were disap-
pointed to find the doors
boarded up and no coffee
pot in sight.

The favorite haven of
many Augusta College
student is undergoing
major renovations to
better serve the constant
flow of customers the
snack bar sees during
the day.

"We're making a new
and improved snack bar,
expanding and updating
the facility," said Stacy
Alexander, food services
director. "It's related to
the physical aspect, we

needed more capacity for
seating, but we're updat-
ing the looks, too."

When the $135,000
renovations are com-
plete, the snack bar will
have a whole new look.
New floors, ceiling, back
deck and furniture have
been added in a beige
and green decor.

Two special features
will be a solarium to al-
low more sunlight into
the sometimes dismal
room and a two-sided re-
frigeration case that will
permit students to grab
their lunch while they
are in line, while letting
the staff restock the unit
from the kitchen.

In addition to the new
look, the snack bar is
getting some new equi-
ment and a new ventila-

tion system. "The venti-
lation system needed
renovation badly," said
Alexander. "We're try-
ing to solve the smoking
problem."

The Butler Hall snack
bar came into existence
in 1979 when a class-
room was converted into
a kitchen and a few ta-
bles and chairs was add-
ed. It quickly became an
important place for so-
cializing, studying, and
grabbing a quick snack
between classes.

Now this former
classroom makes up
about 40% of the food
service business at Au-
gusta College.

Students Face Major

DECISIONS

Tammy Hobbs, a junior
majoring in Criminal Justice,
decided her future career
while watching her favorite
TV show, "Cagney and Lac-
ey."

"I wanted to be a cop, be-
cause my role model is Chris
Cagney. I love watching all
those cop shows and I want to
be able to put some of those
people away myself," she
said.

"Most students have some
kind of a career in mind when
they enter college, but many
of them are not very certain
that they have made the best
possible choice," said Frank
S. Endicott, Ph.D., director of
placement and professor of
education at Northwestern
University.

"I chose mine, because Dr.
Gibson said "What about
communications?" Because I
was at the point where I was
finishing my core and needed
to choose a major," said Cath-
erine Stuckey, a public rela-
tions major.

Before a student can make a
wise vocational choice, he or
she must determine their in-
terest and abilities, according
to Dr. Endicott. "The college
student has lived with him-
self for at least 18 years. Dur-
ing this period, he has had a
variety of experiences both in
and out of school. From his

past experiences, he can usu-
ally get some helpful clues
concerning his interest and
abilities," he said.

"I looked at what my tal-
ents are. I'm kind of undecid-
ed, but leaning towards busi-
ness. I want choices and
business will offer me that,"
said sophomore Teresa Hicks.

Leethia Roberts has en-
joyed writing for years, espe-
cially children's books, so she
knew exactly where she was
headed.

"I just wanted to write, so I
flipped through the catalog to
find journalism," she said.

A large number of college
students change from one
major to another, "especially
those who are enrolled in a
college of liberal arts," Dr.
Endicott said.

"Even though I always
wanted to be a cop, there were
people telling me I shouldn't
be one, so I changed my ma-
jor. I went from CJ to busi-
ness to education and back to
CJ," said Hobbs. "I never
should have changed it be-
cause it put me behind a quar-
ter."

Most students feel that al-
though pay is probably the
most important aspect of the
career they chose, they agree
that it must be something im-
portant and rewarding.

"I want to be the one who

teaches your children how to
read and write. The children
that I teach will be America's
future leaders and that makes
me feel great," said education
major Stacy Bird.

Available to all AC stu-
dents, in the counseling and
testing center, are tests which
help students determine their
strong and weak points.

"They can be helpful when
they are administered and in-
terpreted by a competent
counselor. Their value lies in
pointing toward some catego-
ries of occupations and away
from others," Dr. Endicott
said.

Many AC students have
benefitted from the career
tests offered on campus.

"It helped me get a better
perspective on my career,"
said English major Julie Arm-
strong.

Although some students
feel that the test does not ac-
curately measure their true
talents.

"It told me that I should be
a bus driver," said Bird.

"Sooner or later every col-
lege student must determine
what he will do following
graduation. There are few de-
cisions that are more impor-
tant to him," said Dr. Endi-
cott.

Voice Of The

STUDENTS

The 1990-91 school year
turned out to be a good one
for the Student Government
Association. The four year
quest for an equitable smok-
ing policy finally ended in
success. A direct channel be-
tween the students and the
SGA was re-opened in the
form of "Gripe Day." And, al-
though it wasn't reflected in
voter turn-out, the SGA feels
students are becoming more
aware of what SGA can do for
them.

"I think it has been suc-
cessful," said SGA president
Jennifer Sprague. "We're al-
ways going to be our toughest
critics. I think pretty much
it's been very good, if we look
at the things we have accom-
plished. There's only so much
you can do in one year . . .
Hopefully our retention rate
will stay high. We've got a lot
of brand new senators that
will hopefully carry over to
next year. We're still working
on getting more people in-
volved. I think it's been pretty
good."

Two major tasks of the
SGA during the 1990-91
school year were the passage
of comprehensive smoking
and drinking policies for the
campus. The problems have
been addressed by each year's
SGA for the past several
years, but no policies were
formulated until Spring quar-
ter 1991.

"The alcohol policy and the
smoking policy were passed
during this term. The Student
Government Association has
worked on that for about four
years now. Both of those . . .

are major accomplishments,"
Sprague said.

Another mammoth prob-
lem tackled by the '90-'91
SGA was apathy. This
scourge has plagued the AC
campus for years, and the '90-
'91 student government was,
to a certain extent, another
victim.

"We couldn't get involved.
A lot of people use the excuse
that they don't have the time.
There's a bunch of things
people can do if they want to
get involved, if it's only one
meeting or sit on one task
force or one student faculty
committee," said Sprague.

In an attempt to get more
students out of the woodwork
and raise the awareness of
both students and SGA,
"Gripe Day" was reinstituted.
The idea was tried in the past,
and it seemed like a good one
for the present as well.

Students were given the op-
portunity to submit their
gripes and suggestions on pa-
per to the SGA directly. Over
600 submissions were made,
and many of them, such as
problems with the bookstore,
are already being addressed.

"Students don't believe that
what they say is being lis-
tened to. And unfortunately
the athletic fee increase, even
though the students voted it
down. President Wallace still
recommended that it go into
effect. That almost strength-
ens the students position of
'Why in the hell do I bother,
they don't listen to us any-
way," Sprague said.

But, according to Sprague,
although students at Augusta

College were not participat-
ing on the level the SGA
would like to have seen, on
some counts we weren't as
bad off as it seemed.

"We standardly have about
150 people that participate (in
elections). Those are probably
the same 150 people who go to
the student function govern-
ment functions in the first
place," she said, "but with our
150 people voting to the 5,000
students enrolled here, we
have a better turn out rate
than the University of Geor-
gia does, who has 1,000 stu-
dents show up to vote to their
26,000 enrollment rate."

J.C. Halvorson, chairman
of the student senate, feels
their most important accom-
plishment was the tutoring
program at the Augusta
Youth Center in Sunset
Homes housing development.

"They would go down on
Monday afternoons for about
a two hour period . . . They
would do everything from
helping with sewing classes
to listening to first graders
read or helping high school
kids with math homework,"
said Sprague.

Halvorson also thinks the
communication and coopera-
tion between the students and
the administration could be
better.

"I think that, like the old
gym, we didn't really know
what they were going to do
with that until two weeks be-
fore they were going to reno-
vate it," he said. "It's 'we' and
'they,' and it should be 'us'
... It should be that way.
This is Augusta College, we

should all be working togeth-
er, and sometimes it seems,
like with the athletic fees, like
we're working against each
other," said Halvorson.

All in all, the year was a
good one. Not all of the SGA
ideas translated into reality,

but not all of them failed, ei-
ther. In any event, the SGA
does not intend to retreat to
their CAC office in defeat.

"We know when we talk to
people at those SAC confer-
ences (the Student Advisory
Council) we think that our

college is a lot better off than
most," said Halvorson. "I
think we just need to keep
working harder, as Ray Goff
says. Keep trying, right?
That's the only way we can do
it."

ATHLETES

Jennifer Sprague

Have you ever wondered
how the backyard ballplayer
firvds time to shoot hoops
when by now he has realized
that he isn't going to the
What would make a
college freshman pump iron
on a daily basis knowing the
Olympic team has already
been selected and even if it
wasn't he wouldn't have a re-
mote chance of being on it?

Last year when some Au-
gusta College students were
either studying or working
after classes, a special breed of
man was engaging in sports
activities with his sparetime.
That breed of man was
known as the afternoon ath-
lete of the backyard jock.

David Ellis, a senior com-
munications student was one
such athlete. "I like to run

and play basketball a lot to
try and stay in shape. I play
ball with friends. "They say I
play like a very uncoordinat-
ed Larry Bird," said Mr. Ellis.

Basketball seemed to be the
favorite sports activity to the
afternoon athlete. They
seemed to get a thrill out of
imagining themselves play-
ing with the likes of Michael
Jordan or David Robinson;
although their talents were
more on the level of Mr. Rob-
inson or Michael Jackson.

Fred Barnabei was another
student who frequently
graced pavement and arched
lazy jumpshots.

The Augusta College senior
compared his game to Magic
Johnson or John Stockton.
"I'm really not that good of a
shooter so I get my satisfac-

tion out of handing out as-
sists," said Mr. Barnabei.

Lifting weights was popu-
lar to freshman Robert
Thomas. He rarely missed a
day without working out at a
local gym. Although he could
never be confused with Ar-
nold Swartzeneggar, his de-
termination was just as driv-
en. "I get satisfaction out of
throwing on a tank top in the
summer and knowing that
my chest fills it," said Mr.
Thomas.

Just like the nerdy student
or the giggly freshman, the
backyard jock was just as im-
portant to the atmosphere at
Augusta College.

Day Late,

DOLLAR SHORT

Well, it's D-Day (that
stands for due) minus 12
hours and counting. I guess
I've put off this assignment as
long as possible. Now it's
time to get serious.

It probably would have
been wiser to choose a differ-
ent topic, but writing about
procrastination just seemed
like the right thing to do ...
at the time anyway.

So now I find myself the
dishes done, the house dusted
and vacuumed, the laundry
washed and put away with
no other excuse to prevent me
from writing this article.

I work best under pressure.
I know, you've heard those
words before. Chances are
you've said them yourself.
But you see, for me it's true.

My fingers positively fly

over the keyboard, and my
brain struggles to keep the
pace. There's something
about facing a deadline that
gets those creative juices
flowing. Maybe it's fear.

My friend says she works
better under pressure too. Of
course, she's an English ma-
jor so maybe that explains it.
Reading Shakespeare, Yeats,
Whitman, all those dead
guys, tend to put you to sleep.
Consequently, she's always a
day behind and struggling to
catch up.

Another friend is always a
few days ahead of the game.
On the other hand, she's an
Education major and teachers
are like that. Even prospective
teachers. She actually reads
her syllabus, one of the few
people I know who do, and

she earnestly reads her text-
book to stay ahead of the
class.

Me, I'm sort of easygoing.
Like my housework for in-
stance. Do you have any idea
how fulfilling it is to run a
dust cloth over a table and see
the streak of shiny wood that
appears?

I'm the one who waits until
two days before the exam and
then I madly read 10 chapters
of material. I look real cool
and calm about it all, but
don't let it fool you. I'm really
just bluffing. I wind up with
stomach churning and palms
sweating, wishing I had stud-
ied more. Right about the
time the instructor hands out
the exam, I decide no more
procrastination!

You would think that after

(Cont. from pg. 30)

three years of higher educa-
tion I would have learned that
some things take preparation.
But no, I blithely go my way,
looking for the perfect excuse
not to do something.

I don't procrastinate about
all my schoolwork. When I
have to write an essay in 50
minutes, you can be sure my
pen starts to scratch its way
across my paper within the
first couple of minutes. And
if I can watch a foreign movie
for extra credit, I'll run to
Blockbuster Video the same
day.

I've spent many years per-

fecting this talent. You see,
there's a subtle technique to
good procrastination. It takes
top-notch organizational
skills to be a procrastinator.

First, you must be able to
prorize all the tasks that have
to be completed. Then, you
have to factor in all the fun
things you want to do. Lastly,
you have to decide just how
long you can push your luck
on the required projects be-
fore your drop-dead time.

Sometimes, you may just
fall into projects before pro-
crastination. Like I did with
this project. I didn't inten-

tionally keep putting it, off, it
just happened. I mean, the
dust bunnies were taking
over the house. What else
could I do, except go after
them?

Technically, procrastina-
tion is just putting something
off for a little while it's not
trying to get out of doing
something altogether. And
I'm not one to shrink my re-
sponsibilities. I don't have
any objection to doing what
I'm supposed to do. I'd just
rather do it tomorrow, if you
don't mind.

Hooked On

CAFFEINE

Marci's slept through her
alarm again. She stumbles out
of her bed. It's 6:30. She's got
a paper due at noon. Then
there's a seminar to attend, a
test tomorrow, and work. She
MIGHT get home by 10:30 to-
night ... if she's lucky.

Everything's under control
for Marci, though she's got a
drug to keep her going. She's
got a drug that keeps her up
when she's really down.
Nothing illegal. It's the drug
of choice for many college
students like you. Marci's
hooked on caffeine, and she's
sinking fast.

Does this scene sound all
too familiar? Do you reach for
that cup of coffee when your
alarm goes off? Do you drink
sodas all afternoon and pop
Vivarin after work? Maybe
it's time for you to under-
stand what's going on inside
your body when you pump it
up with caffeine.

Caffeine has countless
physiological effects on the
body. Caffeine is a "potent
stimulant of both the CNS
and the ANS," according to
Boulenger and Uhde (1982)
and Zahn and Rapoport
(1987). The cardiac muscle is
also stimulated, increasing
the force of contraction, says
Stephenson's 1977 report.
Blood pressure may increase
as well; however, regular us-
ers may not experience this
reaction. "Regular users may

drink up to 5 cups of coffee
without any increase in blood
pressure or heart rate," says
Dr. Martin G. Myers.

With all the risks of caf-
feine use, why do we still con-
sume it? "Many believe that
caffeine makes one more alert
and enhances performance,"
says J.B. Murray, author of
"Psychological Aspect of Caf-
feine Consumption". Various
studies have identified caf-
feine as an effective "pick-
up".

If caffeine affects perfor-
mance, might it also affect
memory? Does that cup of
coffee help you remember
formulas and terms you
might otherwise forget? Yes
and no, answer Terry and
Phifer. "Studies of short-term
memory have shown little ef-
fects of caffeine but long-
term memory, as tested by re-
call of lists of words, is
affected by 100 mg of caffeine
(a single NoDoz table)," sums
up J.B. Murray. Personality
and other factors are up for
consideration, however.

Many people believe caf-
feine is both soothing and re-
lieving to their stress level.
"Don't talk to me until I've
had my coffee," say many.
"I'm uptight. I need a coffee
break," say others. Caffeine
increases stress, point out Lee,
Cameron, and Greden. Rest-
lessness and insomnia are
commonly experienced by

heavy coffee-caffeine users,
reports Charney.

A personality inventory de-
veloped by Eysenck measures
the effects of caffeine in terms
of people's extroversion and
introversion tendencies. Ex-
troverts appear more likely to
use both coffee and drugs in
stressful situations, while in-
troverts perfer nicotine, sug- **
gests Revelle. I*

The chronic effects of caf- ^
feine are still unknown, and
many questions and debates
rage on. Does caffeine affect
conception? Does caffeine
damage the heart? Does caf-
feine enchance performance?
Researchers cannot seem to
agree due to variable results.

David R. Zimmerman, au-
thor of Essential Guide to
Nonprescription Drugs, sug-
gests, "Taking large amounts
(of caffeine) at one time
more than about 240 mg
can cause nervousness, head-
ache, and irritability. Anxiety
may develop. Since caffeine is
also a present in coffee, tea,
and cola drinks, supplements
of this drug should be used
cautiously when one is drink-
ing large amounts of these
beverages."

So, the next time you wake
up late, stay up late or stress
out, maybe reaching for that
sixth cup of coffee isn't the
solution. Even wonder drugs
like caffeine can be lethal.

HANDICAP

Reed Cross is young, good
looking, and energetic. He's
into basketball and weight lift-
ing, and plays a little tennis.
Like many students at Augusta
College, he works part time in
retail.

Reed is a good salesman. He
enjoys his job at Walton Way
Medical, selling wheelchairs
and wheelchair equipment. He
has worked there for three
years, and has been a customer
for five.

A communications major in
hisJunioryear,Reed also enjoys
school. "I've been in a chair
since before I came to AC. For
the age of the school, it is pretty
(wheelchair) accessible," he
said. 'There are hardly any
curbs that don't have ramps,
and there is only one bathroom,
one in Hardy Hall, that I can't
reach the door."

Reed became a parapalegic as
the result of a car accident.
Accepting and adjusting to a
handicap is the hardest part of
all for those who fall prey to it.

Kelly Adams, a Sophomore at
AC, marked the top third of her
finger with her thumb and said,
"I would freak out if I lost this
much of my little finger. I
shouldn't be that way, I know.
It can happen to anyone, any-
time."

Reed says student attitudes to-
ward him are good and , with
the exception of a few, people
don't have a problem with his
handicap. "They realize I am as
normal as I can be and the only
thing that isdifferent is the chair,
that's all," he said.

Students sometimes help him
out, and that's OK with him.
"Some people may have had a
bad experience if they held the
door for someone in a chair and
they said, 'I can do it,' I never
say that."

Reed said he just wants to be
treated like everyone elso. "I
can do just about anything 1
want. I go skiing, go to the
beach, whatever. Sometimes I
have to invent ways to do some
things, like one time 1 went to a
bar and the door was too nar-
row. I took one of the wheels
off my chair and somebody held
that side and I rolled in on one
wheel."

. Any student who has taken a
class in the Fine Arts building
knows that you'll be late for
your next class, if, for example,
it is in Markert Hall and the
teacher runs over class time by
even one minute. Even though
Reed tries to schedule most of
his classes near each other, he
can make it across campus faster
than most students can on foot.

"You don't get any special treat-
ment from teachers here just
because you're in a chair," said
Reed.

After graduation Reed is get-
ting married tohis girlfriend of
two years. He plans to move to
a bigger city and work for an
advertising firm.

It does take Everett Proctor a
little longer to get across cam-
pus and not because this Com-
puter Science major if =s 64 years
old, but because he is blind.

Every morning he rides the
city bus to Augusta College and
gets off in front of the campus.
He walks the same path, count-
ing curbs and listening very
closely for cars. Occassionally
a friend will grab his arm if they
are headed in the same direc-
tion. "If I hold onto an elbow, I
can tell when we get to a step or
bump," he said.

Everett feels comfortable at
school and says he has made a
lot of friends. He sometimes
recognizes when someone he
knows walks by him. "Usually
something gives them away, the
sound they make when they
walk, or a smell. I don't call
them by name because I have
been wrong before," he said.

All of his text books are in
braille and he records notes on
cassette. The only subject he

found really difficult to master
was algebra.

"I'm the first blind Computer
Science major at AC and I've
gotten frustrated a few times,"
said Everett. He is unable to
use some of the equipment he

needs but he tries to be patient
and his teachers do to.

Everett tuned pianos for 41
years but was paying half of his
salary to have people drive him
to his jobs. He plans to go into
computer programming after
graduation.

Reed Cross says that success
in anything depends on how
well you work around your
handicap. "You've got to con-
trol it and not let it control you.
That's the only way you'll make
it," he said.

Dating Game

These days the word dating
has more than one meaning.
To our parents a date was
when a boy and a girl went
out together, but in the 90's
going out with someone one-
on-one is not necessarily a
date.

So, when is a date consid-
ered a date, and what is the
difference between "dating"
and "going out"?

Susan O'Brien, a junior at
AC says, "I consider a date to
be a date when you are with
someone you enjoy being
with, and you are both doing
something that you both con-
sider fun." Freshman, Judy
Adams, considers a date to be
a date, "when both of the peo-
ple are able to communicate
freely and without hesita-
tion." But from a guy's point
of view, sophomore Ronnie
Pitts says, "a date is a date
when the guy has to pay for
the date."

Dating someone. Going out
with someone. Do they mean
the same thing? "Not whatso-
ever, but dating tends to im-
ply a more important aspect
of commitment," says senior
Hamilton Baiden.

Miss O'Brien defines the

difference as "Dating" go-
ing on a date with someone
you like a lot. If you are dat-
ing someone, you usually are
going out with them just
them for a number of times
and nobody else. "Going out"
going out with friends, she
adds.

"Dating is more serious
than 'going out', dating in-
volves boyfriends and girl-
friends, 'going out' involves
friends," explains Mr. Pitts.

In choosing a date, the lead-
ing trait most people seem to
look for is someone's person-
ality, followed by good looks,
a positive attitude and being
intelligent. The way someone
dresses and good humor ties
the bow around that perfect
package.

Going out on a cheap date
does not sound to exciting,
does it? Cheap meaning not
spending much money on a
date. But money does not
seem to be a big deal to Miss
Adams, "I don't think it is the
quanity of money my date
spends that makes me say he
is cheap or not, but it is the
quality and how my date tries
to make our night special."

Mr. Baiden does seem to

think money has something
to do with it, "It most likely
means a date where not much
money leaves the male's
hands. But it can be a mutual
agreement when funds are
low.

Maybe the definition of
dating has changed since our
parents dating years, but
where couples go on dates are
still basically the same. Mov-
ies seem to be the most popu-
lar choice, whether it is going
to see an action-pact, adven-
turous flick at the theater, or
being scared to death in the
privacy of your own home
when watching a terrible hor-
ror movie on the VCR. "Go-
ing out to dinner is still a nice
way to entertain someone,"
says Mr. Pitts.

Miss O'Brien agrees about
dinner but also likes to go to a
carnival or to the fair.

Mr. Baiden seems to think
that the best date is one that is
cheap, fun and looks for a girl
that does not mind getting
her hair wet or some dirt un-
der her fingernails. By that he
says, "a weekend at the lake is
the best."

Reaching

A DREAM

The young men and
women who huddled to-
gether in a side room of
the Augusta College
sports center auditorium
Saturday June 15 read-
justed their caps and
hitched up their gowns
during their last mo-
ments as undergradu-
ates.

For Krista Love and
her fellow nursing
school colleagues, it was
a emotional time.

"I might throw up!" a
voice in the background
warned.

Their eyes sparkled.
They were nervous, but
smiled, as the Augusta
College band began to
play the processional
march in the back-
ground.

"This day couldn't
have gotten here soon

enough," said Mrs. Love,
24, who completed the
two-year nursing pro-
gram in seven years.

"My husband is up
there," she said, waving
toward the stands.
"You'll probably hear
him screaming."

"This is a 10-year
dream for me," said Ja-
net Thompson, who also
received her associate of
science degree in nurs-
ing Saturday night. "I've
been dreaming about
nursing school for that
long."

Former Gov. Carl E.
Sanders was the keynote
speaker at Augusta Col-
lege's 65th commence-
ment ceremony, held at
the new Physical Educa-
tion/Athletic Complex
at the college's Forest
Hills campus.

Approximately 435
students received gradu-
ate and undergraduate
degrees. Valedictorians
were Tracie Darlene
Stone and Vicki Renee
ToUeson.

Mr. Sanders told the
graduates seated before
him of the struggles
those who had come be-
fore them endured to es-
tablish instituations of
higher learning in Geor-
gia, including Augusta
College.

The journey of a thou-
sand miles begins with
one step, he told them,
"and the college from
which you graduate is
the result of many steps
taken in order to pro-
mote higher education.

PRESIDENT'S WORDS

These are exciting times. Augusta College is at a
crucial juncture in her history. There is a sense of
excitement among the faculty, students, staff, and
administration. We know that we are capable of
becoming "A Premier Teaching College. " We know
that such an achievement is not a dream; that we
already are very close to the reality. We have a long-
term physical development plan in place. We know
what new teaching and research facilities we will
need to become "A Premier Teaching College."
More important, we know that we must be commit-
ted to a meaningful long-term personal and profes-
sional development plan for our faculty. A quality
faculty, continuously improving, is the key to our
success.

The challenges ahead of us will not be easy, but
the pay-offs will more than justify the efforts. We
must be willing to work hard, "work smart," and
work with a sense of optimism.

I have framed on my office wall a quote from a

letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote to John Adams in
1816. Let me take this opportunity to share it with
you.

"... You ask, if I would agree to live my Seventy
or rather seventy-three years over again? To
which I say, yea. I think with you, that it is a good
world on the whole; that it has been framed on a
principle of benevolence, and more pleasure than
pain dealt out to us. There are, indeed, (who might
say nay) gloomy and hypochondriac minds, in-
habitants of diseased bodies, disgusted with the
present, and despairing of the future; always
counting that the worst will happen, because it
may happen. To these I say, how much pain have
cost us the evils which have never happened! My
temperament is sanguine. I steer my bark with
hope in the head, leaving fear astern ..."

Augusta College is located on a hill
overlooking the downtown area of the
city of Augusta in the center of the Cen-
tral Savannah River area. It traces its be-
ginnings to The Academy of Richmond
County which was chartered on July 31,
1783.

The present campus is the former
plantation of an 18th century Southern
leader, Freeman Walker, who sold the
land to the Federal government in 1826
for an arsenal. In December, 1955, after
the closing of the Augusta Arsenal by
the United States Government, the
County Board of Education made appli-
cation to use the property for educational
purposes.

In September, 1957, the Junior College
of Augusta opened on its new campus.
The property was awarded to the State in
June 1958, with the Board of Regents
assuming control on September 1, 1958.
The name of the college was changed to
Augusta College.

Former presidents of the college are
George Phineas Butler, James Lister
Skinner, Eric West Hardy, Anton Paul
Market, Gerald Burns Robins, and
George A. Christenberry. Dr. Richard S.
Wallace assumed the presidency on Feb-
ruary 1, 1987.

Billy Earl Bompart, Acting Vice President
for Academic Affairs, attended the Uni-
versity of Texas, North Texas State Uni-
versity, and Southwestern Baptist Theo-
logical Seminary and earned a B.S., Ed.,
M.R.E., M.Ed., and a Ph.D. At Augusta
College he supervises Academic Affiars.
Dr. Bompart enjoys fishing, bowling, gar-
dening.

William J. Messina, Vice-President and
Executive Director of Development and
College Relations, attended the University
of Georgia and graduated with a BSA and
an MS degree. He is responsible for Public
Relations/Publications and Alumni Pro-
grams. In his spare time, he enjoys swim-
ming and jogging.

According to Fred Barnabei, Vice-Presi-
dent for Student Affairs, "More interac-
tion outside the classroom in the co-cur-
ricular area of activities at AC allows
students and faculty to know each other at
a different level and further promotes the
feeling of community on the campus." In
his free-time, Mr. Barnabei enjoys pho-
tography and playing golf.

Joseph F. Mele is the Vice-President for
Business and Finance at Augusta College.
He attended Russell Sage College and
Bradley University and received a B.S. in
Accounting and a M.A. in Educational
Administration. He is responsible for the
business and finance functions including
the Business Office, Personnel, Procure-
ment, Plant Operations and Public Safety.

Roscoe Williams, the Associate Dean of
Students, attended Paine College and Fisk
University and graduated with a B.S. and
M.S. degree. He feels that "due to the com-
muter-nature of Augusta College there is
not enough student and faculty involve-
ment. Activities that capture the interest
of both faculty and student could be a
solution."

Faculty In The School Have
Superb Academic Qualifications

The primary objectives of
the School of Arts and Sci-
ences are to assist in develop-
ment of basic skills, to pro-
vide essentials of a general
education, and to provide ad-
vanced subject-area compe-
tence needed by involved citi-
zens in a democratic society.
These objectives are pursued
through the offering of mas-
ters, baccalaureate, and asso-
ciate degree programs appro-
priate to college resources and
the needs of the community.
Another objective of the
School of Arts and Sciences is
to support degree programs
in the School of Business Ad-
ministration and the School
of Education by providing a
variety of graduate and un-
dergraduate course work as

well as courses that are pre-
liminary to professional
training in such fields as en-
gineering, law, medicine, and
military science.

Courses are regulary of-
fered during the day and in
the late afternoon and eve-
ning in an effort to serve the
needs of the students. It is
possible to complete bacca-
laureate majors in Chemistry,
Communications, Computer
Science, English, History,
Mathematics, Political Sci-
ence, Psychology, and Sociol-
ogy by taking the courses in
the evening; however, stu-
dents doing this should care-
fully coordinate their selec-
tion of courses with the
department responsible for
the major, since not all

courses are offered every
quarter.

The School of Arts and Sci-
ences also offers a military
science curriculum that pre-
pares a student for commis-
sion in the United States
Army.

The academic department
that comprise the School of
Arts and Sciences are the De-
partment of: Biology; Chem-
istry and Physics; Develop-
mental Studies; Fine Arts;
History, Political Science; and
Philosophy; Languages and
Literature; Mathematics and
Computer Science; Military
Science, Nursing; Psycholo-
gy; and Sociology.

Dean Ronald Tallman

Besides his position as a
Dean of the School of Arts
and Sciences, Ronald Tallman
has also taught history and
geography classes at AC.
Teaching history is very en-
joyable for Tallman, but it
was not his first career choice.
All through high school and
college, he was interested in
news writing of a weekly trav-
el column; he then became the
editor of the daily news in
Bangor, Maine and attended
the University of Maine at the
same time.

Dean Tallman, an avid golf-
er, has resided in Georgia for 3

years. He is married and has 2
daughters. He holds a Bache-
lors degree from Wesleyan
University, a Masters Degree
and a Ph.D. from the Univer-
sity of Maine.

Tallman has many good
memories of AC. The estab-
lishment of the Center for
Humanities was a high point
for him. Also, the hiring of
Jim Rosen, one of the most
distinguished artists in the
country, was exciting for Tall-
man.

Dean Martha K. Farmer

Martha K. Farmer, Dean of
the School of Busii\ess Ad-
ministratioi\, attended the
University of Alabama and
the University of South Caro-
lina and received a B.S., MSC,
and a Ph.D. She currently
leads and manages the Busi-
ness School at Augusta Col-
lege. According to Mrs. Farm-
er, she has watched the

involvement of students, fac-
ulty and staff increase
throughout the years. "It is
natural to avoid involvement
which brings about caring be-
cause caring opens one to the
possibility of pain. As more
and more students, faculty,
and staff take this risk, Au-
gusta College will become all
that it can."

Business Schools throughout
the world have a profound im-
pact on the way business is done.
For this reason, American busi-
ness schools are taking a long
hard look at themselves. The Au-
gusta College Business School is
no exception.

This serious and intense intro-
spection focuses on all the ingre-
dients of an educational experi-
ence: students, faculty,
curriculum, and infrastructure.
Students are the primary focus.
The attention paid to faculty,
curriculum and infrastructure is
determined by the impact on the
student.

Assisting students in their
preparation for a job, a career,
and for life is the primary goal of
the Augusta College Business
School. To do this, we offer the
basic courses in all the functional
areas of business including ac-

counting, economics, finance,
management, marketing, and
management information sys-
tems. That is, we teach students
how to do things which makes
them good managers. However,
we also go beyond this. We add
breath and link theory to prac-
tice. In this way we assist stu-
dents in their development of
their ability to make the right de-
cisions and to lead.

Over the next five years, newly
hired faculty will be diverse and
have a strong commitment to
teaching. In addition they must
bring with them or develop the
ability to relate the textbook to
applications. Through innova-
tive teaching, which focuses on
facilitating student learning,
these faculty will move Augusta
College toward recognition as the
premier teaching institution in
the Georgia System.

Augusta's business communi-
ty has made a commitment to as-
sist us in the realization of this
vision. Over the next five years,
this commitment will become
more and more visible as the
community, through the Board
of Advisor provides advice to and
seeks advice from our faculty,
critically evaluates our cirricu-
lum, and supports us in the de-
velopment of our infrastructure.

We in the Business School are
proud of our students and of our
progress toward their goals. We
look forward to the future with
excitement and a commitment to
excellence.

The School of Education is
one of two professional
schools at Augusta College.
There are two departments
within the School of Educa-

education skill courses that
are required for most under-
graduate students.

Two levels of graduate
work are available through
the School of Education, a
Masters of Education degree
program and a Specialist in
Education degree program.
Masters degree programs are
available in the fields of Edu-

Smoke-Free Campus

As of April 1, 1991, Augusta Col-
lege joined the ranks of many educa-
tional institutions nation-wide in en-
acting a "smoke-free" campus. The
provisions of the polic\' were deliv-
ered to the AC facultv', staff, and stu-
dents via a memorandum from Presi-
dent Wallace's office on March 28.

The "smoke-free" campus policy
specifies:

1. Smoking is prohibited in all aca-
demic buildings.

2. There will be a limited number
of designated smoking areas in ad-
ministrative buildings. These policy
exceptions are as outlined below;

* No smoking will be allowed in the
following buildings: Bellvue Hall,
Boykin Wright House, Child Care
Services, DOAS Building, Payne

Hall, Maxwell Alumni House, Public
Safety, and the Small Business Devel-
opment Center.

* Benet house smoking in a desig-
nated room on the second floor.

* Fanning Hall smoking in the
staff lounge except between the hours
of 12 noon and 2:00 p.m.

* Physical Plant Buildings smok-
ing in designated areas of plant
buildings.

3. Smoking will be permitted in a
limited, designated area of the cafete-
ria in the CAC. No smoking will be
permitted in the remainder of the
building.

4. Smoking is permitted, outside of
all buildings.

Signs have been posted throughout
the campus informing students, fac-

ulty and staff of the newly adopted
policy.

This new no-smoking pronounce-
ment may be considered the latest
collegiate trend or a branching-out of
the decade-old health craze that has
penetrated the American psyche.

The decision to adopt the policy
was based on many factors. Predomi-
nant among them as a concern for the
health of all people, both smokers
and non-smokers, on campus.

Also considered in the decision
were factors dealing with fire safety,
environmental issues, and the fluid-
ity and the professionalism of the
educational process and the institu-
tion through which it is conveyed,
according to one member of the AC
Student Government.

Students and faculty have, thus fa
been fairly cooperative with this ne
policy as it is quickly becomin
known throughout campus.

"My husband's a smoker and
love him dearly, but it is actually nic
to get away to a place where I'll t
spending a few hours and not have i
smell tobacco," said one studer
"Oh, and it is also nice to finally t
able to walk into a women's restroo:
and not walk out smelling and fee
ing like I've just been through a pac
of them myself!"

The Lady Jaguars volleyball team
started off the year with high hopes
and expectations. However, the season
proved to be a difficult one as the Jags
pulled a 6-24
record.

The Lady Jags
put in long, vigor-
ous hours practic-
ing, not only to
work as a team,
but to try and
work together
with everyone's
individual skills.
With much prac-
tice and getting to
know each other
through experi-
ence these ladies
are building a fu-
ture for Augusta

College's volleyball program. The Jags
worked as a team striving to improve
with all their time and energy put into
the game. The Lady Jags put aside any
differences and worked together to
have a successful season.

The Lady Jags played a tough sched-
ule, losing to schools like Clemson,
Furman, and Georgia Southern. They
are working toward building a future
for Augusta Col-
lege's volleyball
program. The
Jags worked as a
team striving to
improve with all
their time and en-
ergy put into the
game.

The Lady Jags
put aside any dif-
ferences and
worked together
to have a success-
ful season. But
with the experi-
ence of playing
larger schools, the
Lady Jags had the opportunity to learn
from their mistakes and improve vast-

ly-

With another season ahead, the
Lady Jags are working diligently to
create a team that is determined and
successive.

I JAGS

The Augusta College Jag-
uars may have logged as
many miles this season as any
college team in the country.
With trips to Minneapolis
(University of Minnesota),
Richmond (Virginia Com-
monwealth), Gainesville (Uni-
versity of Florida), Cullowhee
(Western Carolina Universi-
ty), Santa Barbara (UC r-^
Santa Barbara) and Los \ii.<
Angeles (Southern Cali-
fornia), along with the
Big South Conference
schedule and area
matchups, the Jaguars
might have laid claim as
America's team.

Certainly they let it be
known they were a team
to be reckoned with.
They led ACC power-
house Georgia Tech (an
NCAA participant) by 12
points late in the first half,
only to falter in the second
half. They led Big Ten rival
Minnesota by seven points
late in the half, only to be out-
done in the second half. They
led Sun Belt rival VCU by five
points before they lost. And
they held their own against a
trio of other teams that made
post-season appearances
NCAA participants Georgia
State and Southern California
and NIT participant South
Carolina.

It was an exciting year, a
year of travel, a year of televi-

and most importantly, espe-
cially for a team that loses
only one player, a year of re-
spectability. It also featured a
new beginning the first
games ever in the new Augus-
ta College Physical Educa-

sides the travel, the Jaguars

carried the Augusta CoUe
Minnesota game to the Mid-
west. Sports Channel Florida
had the Florida-AC game
statewide in Florida. Metro
Sports picked up the game be-
tween the Jaguars and South-
ern California from the Los
Angeles Sports Arena, seen
statewide in California. In ad-
dition, the first game played
in the new complex, the
matchup with South Carolina
was carried on Jones Interca-
ble locally. WRDW-Channel
12 in Augusta carried the

crosstown rivalry between the
Jaguars and the Paine College
Lions and the Jaguars made
the finals of the Big South
tournament and had the op-
portunity to play in front of a
national television audience
on ESPN.

Augusta started the season
1-8 before Christmas against
what was at one time the
seventh toughest sched-
ule in the country. But
the one win before
Christmas came at home
and came against state
rival Georgia Southern.
But even in the first
nine games, eight of
those on the road in six
different states, the Jag-
uars were gearing up for
the Big South schedule.
A home win over Mer-
cer in the Civic Center on the
final day of 1990 was the final
test for the Jaguars before Big
South play.

Not much was expected of
the Jaguars, at least by the Big
South. AC was picked last in
the pre-season poll of coaches
and sports information direc-
tors. After a 1-8 start, it ap-
peared they might have been
right. But the early season
schedule made the Jaguars a
better ballclub and showed
the team that they had the
ability to compete in the Big
South.

^H ins over Winthrop in Rock
[ill and Campbell at Augus-
1, the team's first ever 2-0
:art in Big South play. A loss
i Radford in a game the Jag-
ars led at half time dampened
le spirits, but only for one
ame. Augusta bounced back

i /ith a win in Asheville,
Jorth Carolina against UNC-
) ksheville, a team that had
eaten the Jaguars nine previ-

'us meetings.

The Jaguars returned home
10 play their final game ever
In the old Augusta College
|),ym and said farewell in
i;rand fashion, carving out a
'3-80 win over Charleston
iouthern.

A narrow loss in Conway,
jouth Carolina (85-80) against
eventual Big South champion
Coastal Carolina, was fol-
.owed by a big road win, an
Jl-72 overtime decision at
Davidson.

It was time to come home
'md home for the first time in
'rhe new Augusta College
romplex. Playing before an
i| pverflow crowd of enthusias-
:ic fans, the Jaguars battled
ravored South Carolina to the
wire before bowing.

The loss seemed to take
something out of the team, as
they dropped three more
games in a row, to Davidson,
Radford, and Campbell. Dis-
heartening was the fact that
two of those losses David-
son and Radford also came
at home in the new facility.
But the Jaguars would finish
with a flourish.

Augusta bounced back
from four straight defeats to
down Charleston Southern in
Charleston and lost a close
game at College of Charles-
ton.

But again it was time to
come home and the Jaguars
found the right ingredients
this time in the new facility.
Augusta posted a win over
UNC Asheville for their first
win in the complex and fol-
lowed that with perhaps their
biggest win of the year, a 75-
74 upset win over Coastal
Carolina, what proved to be
Coastal's only loss to a Big
South opponent for the year.
The momentum carried over
into the final regular season
home game of the year, a win
over Winthrop.

In dramatic fashion, the

Jaguars closed out their regu-
lar season with a 62-53 win in
the opening round of the
tournament in Anderson,
South Carolina.

That win set the stage for
the Jaguars' third meeting of
the year with Radford. Au-
gusta had won four straight
games against the Highland-
ers before this season, but
Radford had reversed their
fortunes this season with a
regular season sweep of the
Jags. But this was tournament
time and the Jaguars respond-
ed with a 69-56 win to earn
the championship game of
the Big South Tournament.

But this time fatigue set in
and playing their fifth game
in seven days caught up to the
Jaguars, who lost on national
TV to the NCAA partici-
pants. Coastal Carolina.

It was also a year of honors.
Keenan Mann became only
the eighth player in Augusta
history to score over 1000
points and grab 500 rebounds
in a career, accomplishing
both marks this season. He's
on pace to become the
school's all-time men's scor-
ing leader. Derek Stewart set

an Augusta and Big South ca-
reer record for blocked shots
and was honored as a first-
team all Big-South performer.
Mann made the second team
while both players were se-
lected to the all-tournament
squad. Coach Clint Bryant
was named Co-Coach of the
year of the conference for
guiding the Jaguars to a suc-
cessful season and was later
selected to assist Alabama
head coach Wimp Sanderson
in coaching the South team in
the US Olympic Festival this
summer in Los Angeles.

While this season was a
year of excitement, the Jag-
uars have reason to believe
that this season was just the
tip of the iceberg. The Jaguars
featured only one senior on
this year's team so the
groundwork has been laid for
the team to challenge for the
first Peace Belt Athletic Con-
ference championship next
year.

IDriving Force

Don't mistake Clint Bryant for a pio-
neer. Three years ago, Bryant became the
only black athletic director at a pre-dom-
inantly white university in Georgia
when he was hired at Augusta College
and given the double duty as head bas-
ketball coach.

For Bryant, a likable and outgoing sort
who was the top assistant at Clemson
and Miami before coming to Augusta
College, the job has become a comfort-
able niche on the verge of success instead
of a statement.

"I'm still a young coach and I've got a
lot to learn about coaching, but one
thing I do know is people," Bryant said.

Bryant coached under Bill Foster at

Clemson and at Miami and has devel-
oped friendships while on the recruiting
trail with coaches George Felton (South
Carolina) and George Raveling (Southern
California), among others.

"Augusta College and (president) Dr.
Richard Wallace took a chance when
they hired me," Bryant said. "When I
came here I had high visibility because I
had developed good relationships not
only with the black coaches but guys like
Felton, too. You have to have somebody
who will go the extra mile or bend over
backward for you and you do the same
for them."

Bryant has begun to rebuild the Au-
gusta College program, which will drop

from Division I to Division II (effective
next season), without all the pressures
that go with major college athletics.

"I'm happy here. I wanted to coach in a
situation where I have as much control
and security as I can possibly have," Bry-
ant said. "To have success, I wanted to do
it in a way I'm comfortable with."

Bryant, who said he doesn't miss the
high-pressure, win-at-all-costs mind-set
among major Division I schools, is right
on schedule at Augusta College.

"I thought it would take three to five
years to get the program to where it
would be competitive," Bryant said.
"This isn't big time. But when you build
something, you feel like you've accom-
plished something. It's starting to come
together for Augusta College.

REACHING

FOR

while the 1990-91 season
was a disappointing one for
the Lady Jaguars' basketball
team, there were several high-
lights along the way. The fi-
nal ledger read 11-18, but the
team managed to finish third
in the Big South conference
regular season race.

The team dropped ten of
their first 11 games of the
year against powerful teams
and Florida A&M, but
bounced back to win 8 games
while losing just 4 games in
the two teams that finish one-
two in the regular season and
in tournament play, Camp-
bell and Radford.

But while the win-lost
record was not what was
hoped for, several individuals
made their mark, both in the
record books of Augusta Col-
lege and the Big South. Senior
Debbie Born, who re-wrote
the Augusta College record
books added to her accom-
plishments. She earned all-
conference honors for the
third straight season and was
also picked for the all-tourna-

ment squad. She set a new
school scoring record, becom-
ing the school's all-time scor-
ing leader and finished as the
second highest scorer in the
Big South history. She broke
every single game, season,
and career mark for free
throws. She finished second
in the conference in scoring
and field goal percentage and
was ranked in the top five in
free throw percentage. And
she topped off a brilliant ca-
reer with a Big South tourna-
ment record 35 points in her
final collegiate game.

Fellow senior Gladys Burke
also enjoyed an all-conference
year. Burke led the Big South
Conference in rebounding
and was tabbed as a second-
team all-conference selection.
She was among the confer-
ence leaders in field goal per-
centage.

Peggy Stoming, also a sen-
ior, finished as one of the
school's all-timing leading
shot blockers. She was ranked
among the best in the confer-
ence in free throw percentage

and blocked shots.

Juniors Julie Yeargin and
Robin Edwards also ranked
among conference leaders.
Yeargin was among the best
in the conference in free
throw shooting while Ed-
wards led the team and fin-
ished in the top five in assists
for the year.

Freshmen Candy Black also
was recognized as one of the
best shotblockers in the con-
ference.

So while the team didn't
win as many games as they
wanted to, they did post some
outstanding performances.
They set a school record for
field goal shooting (61.5%) in
their road win at Winthrop.
They plaed the first game ever
in the new August College
PE/Complex and inaugurated
the building with a 97-84 win
over UNC Asheville. And
they won the trophy from the
Augusta Chronicle Herald for
beating Paine for the Augusta
city championship.

^B Amazing blocks such as these
showed that long hours of hard work
do pay off when needed. The energy
level required to endure very physical
and high performance games is sure
to take the team to great heights next
season.

All good things eventually
come to an end, as did the Au-
gusta College Soccer team's
season on Monday.

The AC soccer team trav-
eled to Asheville to compete
in the Big South Tournament.
AC ran into a tough UNC
Asheville team who out-
dueled the Jags 5-0. The loss
cut the Jags season short,
leaving them with an out-
standing mark of 12-7.

The Jags enjoyed much
success this season, even
breaking some old records.

Tommy Jackson broke
Larry McAlevy's six-year-old
career goal record of 45, with a
three goal performance
against USC Aiken giving

Eighty

him 46.

Mark Lewis came within 1
goal of tying McAlevy's sin-
gle season goal mark of 18
with his team leading 17
goals.

Teammate Ken Dawson
racked up an impressive 16
goals for the Jags. Dawson
was named Big South Player
of the Week in AC's last week
of play, in addition to being
selected to the All Big South
Team.

Coach Lowell Barnhart had
the well-deserved honor of
being named Big South Coach
of the Year. Ac's team had the
highest goal average in their
league for the 1990 season.

poWer

The Augusta College Jag-
uars, playing against the
toughest schedule in school
history, nevertheless dis-
played a solid offensive at-
tack, good steady pitching,
and a defense that innproved
in the second half of the sea-
son to help forge a 27-30 over-
all record. The 1991 schedule
included 24 road games and
eight neutral site games. The
squad was also in the thick of
the Big South Conference race
in their final year in the con-
ference and Division I, finish-
ing second in the regular sea-
son and fourth in the
tournament.

When you consider that the
Jags losses were to teams like
SEC foe Kentucky, powerful
Florida International, Metro
powerhouse South Carolina,
ACC champion Clemson and
runner-up Georgia Tech, pe-
rennial powerhouse Georgia
Southern, Southern Confer-
ence heavyweight Western
Carolina, defending national
champion Georgia and Divi-
sion II ranked Armstrong
State, Georgia College, and
USC-Aiken, 1991 was a moral
victory for the team. Thirteen
of the losses came to teams
who went on to post-season

Eighty 2

play, including six teams that
make the NCAA Baseball
Tournament.

There were certainly many
highlights along the way. The
Jags swept a pair of games
from Southern Conference
champion Furman, beat 1990
World Series participant The
Citadel, won all but one series
in the Big South Conference,
and took two of three regular
season games from Big South
regular season and tourna-
ment champion Coastal Caro-
lina.

The Jags got off to a 2-7
start playing their first nine
games on the road, but they
made the most of their first
home appearances as Rob
Jackson notched his second
win of the young season, a 7-1
triumph over Conference
champion Furman.

SWIN^G

But even after a slow start,
the Jaguars bounced back, es-
pecially against Big South
teams. The Jags won their
only meeting with Davidson,
swept a double-header with
Charleston Southern, took
two of three at Radford, swept
Campbell in three one-run
games on the road, and took
two of three from Coastal
Carolina. The team's only Big
South losing series came at
UNC-Asheville, losing two of
three, but the team bounced
back to take two of three from
Winthrop to close out a 14-4
regular season against the Big
South. The team won their
first two games of that series
to pull to 25-25 on the year,
but lost the final game of the
set and dropped games to

Georgia Tech and UGA to
close out the regular season.
Augusta bounced back on a
five-hit shutout by Chris
Cope to earn a 3-0 win over
Radford, but saw their season
come to an end when Coastal
Carolina scored three runs in
the sixth inning to erase a 1-0
Jag lead in a 3-1 decision to
the top-ranked and host
Chanticleers.

1991 was filled with indi-
vidual honors. Second base-
man Chris Hodge and desig-
nated hitter Mark Ethridge
both earned Big South Con-
ference player of the week

honors during the season,
Hodge notching the award
twice. Hodge led the confer-
ence in doubles and was na-
tionally ranked in that cate-
gory, establishing a new
school single season and a ca-
reer record in the process.
Centerfielder Mo Montegro
led the conference in triples.
Pitcher Rob Jackson led the
conference in ERA and set a
school record with 122 in-
nings pitched while tying the
school record of 16 starts and
8 complete games. Pitcher
Roger Landress led the Big
South in saves, tied a single
season AC record for saves.

and set a new school record
with 24 appearances in a sin-
gle season. Pitcher Jason Ci-
caniola led the team in wins
while establishing a new AC
record for decisions in a sin-
gle season.

The post season brought
even more honors. Hodge,
Jackson, and Montegro all
earned Big South All-Confer-
ence Honors while Coach
Skip Fite was named Co-
Coach of the Year for the sec-
ond straight year. Leftfielder
Carl Rau was named to the

Hours of practice were
necessary to achieve the
quick movement re-
quired, but for these Au-
gusta College Jaguars
the hours of practice are
only part of the game. It
is also having the drive
and determination to
win.

The men's tennis team
posted their second
straight 10-win season,
finishing the year 1991
with a 10-19 record
against a powerful
schedule. The team also
managed a seventh place
finish in the Big South
Tournament.

Individually Damon
Costner led the team
with a 12-13 mark in sin-
gles action while Steve
Platte, Danny Uschiner,
and Allen VanCampen
all posted 10 or more
singles wins.

Costner also coupled
with Uschiner and Platte
to post the most wins in

Eighty 8

doubles competition, 10.

The women's tennis
team, though winless in
Big South competition,
finished a successful sea-
son at 10-12 and man-
aged a sixth place finish
in the Big South Tourna-
ment.

Individually three
players finished with
winning records in sin-
gles competition. Andrea
Barnes posted a 10-12
record, Julie Dickerson

was 11-9, and Cheri
Cathey was 7-4.

Dickerson posted the
most wins in doubles
competition with a 14-6
overall record. Barnes,
Kim Home, and Amie
Woo all had 10 or more
wins in doubles compe-
tition.

The tennis team is
working toward getting
to the top of the Big

the Augusta College golf

The team began their
spring season with a win
at the C&S Pacer Invita-
tional and played well in

the Imperial Lakes Golf

ishing fifth. Even
through the flaws at
events such as the Fur-

losses and focused on fu-

As the swim team
started its season full
steam ahead, long vigor-
ous and straining hours
of practice had to be put
in for the team to be suc-
cessful. These Jaguars
train to swim, to swim
the speed of lightning so
they can finish out on
top. You wonder what
would make an individ-
ual want to go through
such strain for any rea-
son. But when you love a
sport, especially one like
swimming, an athlete
must sacrifice many
things. Some enjoy the
sport because of its hard
competition while others
might be looking for fu-
ture reference such as
the Olympics. Yet com-

petition isn't the only
thing that attracts stu-
dents to the swim team.
Making lasting friend-
ships, learning disci-
pline through rigorous
workouts are important
to the individual as well
as vital to the teams sue-

COMPLEX

SOIVEEXHINTG TO

.^BOUX

It was nearly 25 years in the
planning, but when the first
game was held in the Augusta
College Physical Education/
Athletic Complex Tuesday
night, January 29, 1991, the
wait was well worth it.

The Augusta College Lady
Jaguars christened the build-
ing with a 97-84 win over
UNC-Asheville.

Then, the Augusta College
went big time. In front of a
standing room only crowd of
3,414, the Jaguars fought
tooth and nail before losing to
South Carolina 76-62.

The complex currently has
a seating capacity of 3,100,
but there is room for nearly
5,000 seats for basketball.

Students with their faces
painted blue-and-white.

along with the rest of the
crowd, created a festival at-
mosphere that had never been
seen before at an Augusta
College game.

"This is the idea we had in
mind when we planned it,"
said Dr. George Christen-
berry, former Augusta Col-
lege president who helped
with the original planning of
the building.

The night did not unfold
without a few problems.

Rain and cold weather de-
layed the completion of the
paring lot. Only two-thirds of
the parking spaces were fin-
ished. And a post-game traffic
jam caused delays of 30-45

In addition to the basket-
ball arena, the building will

also house the physical educa-
tion and athletic departments.
The athletic department
should move in the first week
of February and classes will
start in the physical education
department spring quarter,
1991.

In addition to classrooms
and offices, there is a training
room, weight room, physiolo-
gy lab and dance studio. Also,
ringing the upper level of the
arena is a jogging track and
there are also volleyball
courts on the upper level.

Adjacent to the arena, soft-
ball, baseball, and soccer
fields remain unfinished be-
cause of budget short-falls.

Senate Sponsors Seminar

"I couldn't believe it was happening. I still
can't believe it did."

This is a sentiment expressed by many of the
victims of acquaintance and stranger rape that
was presented in a film at the rape seminar on
March 5 in Butler Hall Lecture Hall.

Between 85-100 people were in attendance
during portions of the seminar, which featured
pamphlets, videos, and speakers offering advice
to both women and men on how to avoid rape.

Sharman Colosetti, Rape Crisis Center Coor-
dinator at University Hospital, gave some strate-
gies about rape in the Augusta area.

University Hospital sees more victims who
are children than adults.

398 victims were seen last year.

One in three females is raped by age 14.

One in five males is raped by age 14.

Only one percent of rapes occur between
different races.

The conviction rate in Richmond County is
low because of lack of evidence.

"Go to the emergency room immediately after
a rape to have specimens taken," said Colosetti.
"Even using the bathroom washes away evi-
dence. Don't shower."

Colosetti also said that there is a Victims'
Compensation Law which requires that money
be available to cover the medical exam and coun-
seling expenses up to $1,000. There is currently
$25,000 in the budget and Colosetti said that the
center needs people to write to the senators from
Georgia to have the fund augmented.

"There is a 12-hour training session for those
who want to volunteer (to work at the center),"
said Colosetti. "This group is available to speak
to groups and clubs and those who have ques-
tions."

Facilities to help Augusta College students are
the Counseling and Testing Center and the Pub-
lic Safety Office.

Personal counseling is available to AC stu-
dents free of charge at the center in Bellvue Hall.

Ken Jones, Director of Public Safety, said that
there have never been any reported rapes on the
AC campus, but that is a student is raped that he
or she should report it to Public Safety.

"Nine out of ten victims raped on college cam-
puses do not report rape, " said Jones. He also
said that Public Safety has 14 officers that cover
the campus 24 hours a day and that Public Safety
officers police and have jurisdiction over College
Station.

Lieutenant Leon Garvin of the Richmond
County Sheriff's Department said, "Prevention
is the best solution to the criminal problem." He
said that things to do to prevent becoming a
victim are being aware of your surroundings,
such as always telling someone where you will
be are going, who you will be with and what
time you will be home; and being confident
acting it, walking it, and speaking it.

"When you become a victim, you live with it
the rest of your life."

Foreign Communications

Do you know a second language? Or is it
all Greek to you? So, what's the point in
learning a second language, anyway?

Valeta Goode, Michelle Sullivan, Jenny
Gottschalk, and Elizabeth Castleberry beg
to differ with that theory. These four Au-
gusta College students are teaching Spanish
and French to children at Warren Road Ele-
mentary School in an effort to expand the
knowledge of foreign languages here in
Georgia.

Valeta Goode, who has recently visited
Spain, teaches second and third graders
Spanish each week. She said, "I really enjoy
it because the children and the teaching
staff are very receptive." She feels that the
United States should "open up" to lan-
guages other than English. With her
knowledge, she plans to work with an
American based company in a Spanish
country.

Michelle Sullivan, who also teaches
Spanish, says that communicating in an-
other language is fun and exciting. Chil-
dren in particular seem to retain it and love
learning.

"Exposing kids to a language at an early
age is important," she said. "Then, they can
realize that there are endless possibilties for
them in the world." She says it gives them a

taste of foreign culture and a visio
places outside of Augusta.

Jenny Gottschalk, another Spanish stu-
dent/teacher, teaches four first grade class-
es.

She pointed out that Spanish is the sec-
ond most common language in the United
State.

"Learning a foreign language means
learning the values of a whole different cul-
ture," she said. "It can only enrich your life
and teach you things you never knew be-
fore."

Elizabeth Castleberry, the French stu-
dent-teacher at Warren Road, teaches
fourth and fifth graders. After visiting
France, she has fascinating stories to tell.

"I met people from 54 different countries
who could speak two or three languages,"
said Castleberry.

To keep up with the modern world and
job market, I know it is important that
Americans learn a second language, begin-
ning in elementary school."

All of the student teachers are thrilled
about their teaching experiences this quar-
ter and hope a permanent program for the
work they currently do will be instituted.

The Books

Augusta College President Richard S.
Wallace announced that AC received
$500,000 for the Augusta College Founda-
tion.

Mr. Robert B. Pamplin, chairman for the
R.B. Pamplin Corporation, and his wife,
Katherine Reese Pamplin, a graduate of AC
in 1936, gave the generous donation.

The gift is an endowment entitled the
Katherine Reese Pamplin Endowment and
it will serve as a source of funding to ex-
pand the library. The endowment will be a
beneficial investment, producing $25,000
per year in additional income.

The $500,000 gift is only one of numer-
ous donations to Reese library by the Pam-
plins, who have given approximately $1
million to help AC's library continue to
grow and become more sophisticated.

Ray Rowland, AC librarian, feels that the
finances given by the Pamplins will be

valuable and useful to many members of
the community.

"The more resources that you have, the
more patrons you will have using the li-
brary," said Rowland.

"The AC library is currently used by fac-
ulty and students of AC, MCG, and Paine
College," he said. "Various businesses and
other individuals within the community
also use the library. The endowment will
allow us to meet the rising costs of books
and periodicals for the benefit of many."

Mr. Rowland encourages everyone to
take advantage of the new opportunities
provided by the endowment. "To fully uti-
lize the library, all faculty members, stu-
dents and others should consult with the
reference staff if they cannot locate needed
materials."

Are You

SPEECHLESS

Does the mere thought of giving a speech
in class send terror into your heart? If so,
you are not alone. Some psychologists esti-
mate that as much as 80 percent of the pop-
ulation shares your fear.

Anxiety about possible humiliation lies
at the core. Thoughts of public embarras-
ment cause physical reactions such as rapid
heartbeat, sweaty palms and a dry mouth.

Burton Rubin, who counsels profession-
als with public speaking fears, suggests
that suffers focus on anything but them-
selves. Some possibilities include a wall
clock, podium or members of the audience.

Jerilyn Ross, president of the Phobia So-
ciety of America, offers another key
preparation. Know your speech, but don't
read or memorize it. Concentrate on the
speech's message rather than its delivery.

Finally, recognize that the first 30 sec-
onds is usually the most frightening time;
but it will pass quickly. Some anxiety actu-
ally improves your performance by keeping
you more alert.

HCCS

The Augusta College Hourly Child Care
Service provides students, staff, and faculty
with a convenient and economical child
care facility for their children while at AC.

Viola Henderson, manager of the child
care service, said that most student parents
do not take advantage of this program,
which is funded by Student Activities fees.

"This program is one of the best kept
secrets on campus," said Henderson. "Al-
though we have about 30 people on a wait-
ing list to get on, that's for the morning
hours. We still have spaces available for the
afternoon."

Except for Henderson, the child care cen-
ter is staffed entirely by students.

"We have 19 students working here,
most are education majors, and the age of
the students are from 19-22," she said.

"Because most of my students are educa-

tion majors, they're going to have an advan-
tage working here," she said. "They're go-
ing to have first hand experience with the
different stages of the children. They will
be able to organize, plan and supervise ac-
tivities when they get their own class-
rooms."

The faculty, located on the corner of
Katherine Street and Pickens Road, is open
Monday through Thursday from 7:50 a.m.
to 8:00 p.m. and Friday from 7:50 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. throughout the quarter.

The service is open during weekday exam
hours by reservation only and closed for
quarter breaks and holidays.

Children must be between the ages of one
and 11 years to be eligible. One parent must
be either a student, faculty or staff member
to take advantage of the service.

IT'S A

THREE-PEAT

When the subject of dynas-
ties in college sports come up,
Augusta College won't be the
name that rolls off may lips.

But the Jaguars's table ten-
nis team has breathed rarified
air usually reserved for the
Notre Dames of the college
sports world after winning
consecutive intercollegiate
team national champion-
ships. They went for a three-
peat in 1991 and the players
will be able to guage the
strength of this year's team in
the Hall of Fame Tourna-
ment.

Five years ago, however, as-
pirations of a national title for
the table tennis team was un-
realistic. Maybe the fact that
Augusta College didn't have a
table tennis team until four
years ago might have had
something to do with it.

In that short span, the team
has come from holding prac-
tice sessions in a too-small

meeting room at the student
center to being the country's
top collegiat table tennis
team. "We had to take up the
tables and chairs everyday to
set up the tennis tables," said
player/team manager Ty
Hoff about practice condi-
tions in the meeting room be-
fore the team moved to more
spacious quarters in the Chaf-
fee Street Gym. "You couldn't
practice shots like lobbing be-
cause of low ceilings."

Like many things, Augusta
College's table tennis team
began as an idea that blos-
somed and took shape under
the direction of committed in-
dividuals. One of the most re-
sponsible for putting Augus-
ta College on the table tennis
map is tournament director
Pete May.

Mr. May, himself a former
top-level table tennis player,
has been involved with the
program since its inception in

1987. The idea to start a team
came from his son and cur-
rent team member, Derek,
who was playing on the An-
derson College team.

Mr. May presented the idea
to Augusta College President
Richard Wallace and John
Groves, Director of Student
Activities. From that point, it
was just a matter of getting
the players.

Mr. May didn't have to
look far for the team's first
player. Derek, and Anderson
teammate Scott Butler, two of
the country's top players,
transferred to Augusta Col-
lege in the fall of 1987. Voila-
instant team.

"It was kind of like starting
off your team with two 7-foot
basketball players," said
Groves.

Two more teammates
Keith Hagood and Maury
Saggus came aboard the
following quarter. They were

recruited by Derek and Scott 1
who noticed their skills dur-
ing pickup games at the stu-
dent center. The two had not
played the sport on the colle-
giate level.

In the four years since, sev-
eral top-flight players have
joined the team. Those now
include the top ranked male
Peruvian players, Magali
Montes and Yair Nathan.

What's interesting about
Augusta College's rise to the!
top of intercollegiate table
tennis is the respect it gets
from more well-known
schools at tournaments.

"We're kind of like the jock
school," Scott said laughing.

Added teammate Roland
Rittmaster: "They respect us
as a table tennis power."

A
POWERHOUSE

TEAM

The Augusta College table
tennis team was officially
awarded with their third con-
secutive national table tennis
championship trophy April 4,
1991 in the College Activities
Center.

The championship was
held at Princeton University,
the home of the team the Jags
defeated for the title and who,
according to player/manager,
Ty Hoff, provided little com-
petition.

The award ceremony was
attended by AC President
Richard Wallace, AC Student
Activities Director John
Groves and several other
members of the Augusta Col-
lege faculty. Several members
of the area media were also
present to cover the unprece-
dented "three-pete" in the
world of table tennis.

Winning three straight
championships in any sport
is extremely difficult. Keep-
ing the pool of talent filled
throughout multiple seasons
often can't be done. If the tal-
ent pool is kept full through-

out the season, winning con-
secutive titles is still often
very difficult because the oth-
er teams have one goal in
mind defeating the reign-
ing champion.

For three years, AC has
been on the wanted list of
other teams and although the
competition is increasing, AC
remains a dominant team.

AC'S reputation as a table
tennis powerhouse has kept
the talented players interested
in joining the program. Add-
ing talented players to the
team is still somewhat diffi-
cult, however, because schol-
arships are not offered to
players. Financial support
from the school has been con-
sidered, but the players must
still fund a large part of their
travel expenses.

The success of the AC table
tennis team has also resulted
in Augusta being seriously
considered by the Olympic
Committee as the host city for
table tennis in the 1996
Olympics.

HELP

WANTED

With a new,

experienced staff, the

1991 White Columns

Places To Go, People To See

set new records.

Each year started the same. "Help Wanted.
Any student interested in working with the
yearbook staff, please call for more informa-
tion." Signs went up around campus, and ads
were placed in the school newspaper but the
turnout wasn't there. I couldn't figure it out.
There just had to be students on the campus
with yearbook experience that still had an in-
terest in photojournalism. I had almost given
up finding an experienced staff. Until this
year.

The yearbook staff of '91 was exceptional.
Ten strong, creative, and determined students
began the year with experience in art and
drawing, layout and design, copy writing, and
a desire to get involved. All ten survived dead-
lines, working weekends, and their editor and
came out unscathed with one hell of a year-
book to show for their work.

The 1991 White Columns, Places To Go,
People To See, set new records such as meet-
ing deadlines (a first in
over three years), 56 pages
of spot color, and comput-
erization for typing copy
and designing pages. Olan
Mills came to campus three
times for mug shots, a
record number of clubs
scheduled their group pho-
tos, and faculty participa-
tion was up. Each of these factors played an
important part of the success of the yearbook.
The staff tried a new event this year. Shoot
Yourself!, which was a huge success. Students
created their own pose and took their own
photo. If the photo turned out, it is in this
book. There is a good chance that Shoot Your-
self! may become a White Columns tradition.
The 1992 White Columns will see many
new changes through new leadership. Com-
puterization will be stressed, class involve-
ment will increase, and the success of the year-
book will to.

So until next year, the 1991 White Columns
staff proudly presents "Places To Co, People
To See. "This book is one of the best AC has
yet to see and it is the beginning of a long
tradition.
