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,

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.

Improving The 



ENVIRONMENT

(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

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

Waiting 'til The 



LAST MINUTE 



(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

(Continued from page 39) 
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

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-

says, "a weekend at the lake is 
the best."

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 ..." 

Richard S. Wallace 
President, Augusta College

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.

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- 
tion: the Department of 
Health and Physical Educa- 
tion and the Department of 
Teacher Education. The pri- 
mary mission of the School is 
to provide undergraduate stu- 
dents with the skills neces- 
sary to be an effective class- 
room teacher and to provide 
graduate students an oppor- 
tunity to develop additional 
knowledge and skill in their 
teaching field or to develop 
another speciality in the pro- 
fession such as counseling or 
school administration. 

In addition to its primary 
mission the Department of 



Health and Physical Educa- 
tion provides the physical 
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- 
cational Administration and 
Supervision, School Counsel- 
ing, Early Childhood Educa- 
tion, Health and Physical 
Education, Middle Grades 
Education, the high school 
subjects of English, History,

He has resided in Geor-

Murphy, "members of 
the student body and 
members of the faculty 
would benefit from

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!"

SET 



UP A 





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- 
tion/Athletic Complex. Be- 
sides the travel, the Jaguars 
played on television in several

sion, a year of near misses, 
big markets. Raycom Sports 
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.

It 

^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.

'I ! 

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.

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 
All-Tournament team.

The Lady Jags wanted 
a season in which they 
could pursue their goaL 
However, the AC soft- 
ball team had a lot more 
to swing than they 
thought. Yet with strong 
determination, the team 
pulled together and even 
bumped off #1 seed 
Coastal Carolina. 

Unfortunately, that 
win was not enough to 
pull off a winning sea- 
son. The Lady Jags 
closed the season with a 
disappointing 8-26 
record. But the season 
showed the team many 
highlights such as over- 
taking and defeating 
Campbell. Senior Deb- 
bie Born led the team in

Debbie Grist earned All- 
Conference and All-

left field and led the con- 
ference in triples, finish- 
ing fifth in the nation in 
that category. 



In addition, the Lady 
Jags will return with a 
majority of the players 
returning. Next season 
should prove to be com- 
petitive in the Peach Belt 
with the experience the 
team will carry over.

TENNIS

RACQUET 



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 
South Tournament.

The Augusta College 
golf team started the sea- 
son with great anticipa- 
tion. They were also 
playing under great 
pressure to once again 
claim the Big South Con- 
ference Championship. 
As proven, no team 
could keep the Jaguars 
from climbing to the top. 
No one could knock 
these Jags off their feet. 
They wanted another 
championship to throw 
in their bag and sure 
enough, for the fourth 
straight season and the 
fifth time in seven years, 
the Augusta College golf 
team captured the Big 
South Conference 
Championship. 

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



the Imperial Lakes Golf 
Classic in Florida, fin- 
ishing fifth. Even 
through the flaws at 
events such as the Fur- 
man Invitational, Caroli- 
na Classic, and the Iron 
Duke Classic, the Jag- 
uars overcame those 
losses and focused on fu- 
ture games. The AC 



AGAIN 



team finished fourth in 
the Augusta College 
/Forrest Hills Invita- 
tional against a star 
studded field that in- 
cluded five nationally 
ranked teams and 14 
teams who ranked in 
their respective districts.

The Augusta College they are building on 
cross country team had a them. Not losing hope, 
long run this season, but training harder, and 
as if a bolt of lightning learning from past mis- 
had struck them, they takes will surely give 
were off and running. 
Unfortunately, the Jags 
fell short and placed low 
in many of their meets. 
But this did not stop the 
Jags from giving their 
all. They kept running 
with determination and 
spirit, driving for the 
finish line. A true athlete 
never holds his head 
down and the Jags never 
did. Crossing the finish 
line with their heads 
high kept the desire to 
win strong. They never 
lost sight of their goals. 
Maybe the Jags did not 
reach those goals but 



them the edge on next 
year's season.

UP A STOR]VI 



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-

spirit and in pursuit of

growing stronger, 
tougher, and splashing

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 
minutes. 

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.

the National Anthem at a July 25

her singing debut by spitting and

might as well have assassinated 
the President or burned the flag. 
Barr later apologizes for her off-

this will ever disappear," she said. 
"For the rest of my life they're 
going to play that tape over and 
over." And so they have.
