Deborah Deedi Lisa Ackerman \ r j Five .'t^ 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! BtUB^ ^miMMAS^ Seven D Jj JL TO GO - TO SEE I Stress Is Just STRESSFUL Shannon Sumerau hopes she never has another quarter like the winter of '89. It was her second quarter at Augusta College, a quarter filled with biology labs, term papers, mathematics formu- las, and long hours spent at the library. She was deter- mined to keep up her grades, but she says her workload al- ways seemed overwhelming. By mid-term, she was suffer- ing nausea and migraine headaches, all of which the doctor said were caused by stress. "I don't really know how it got to be so bad," said Su- merau, now a junior mathe- matics major. "Around mid- term, I just got really sick, but I didn't want to miss school. It got so bad, I'd get out of the car and on the way to class I'd have to find a trash can to get sick in." Looking back, Sumerau can understand the pressure she was under. "I was taking biol- ogy and precalculus and En- glish 102," Sumerau said. "I'd go to bed feeling sick and wake up feeling sick and go to school feeling sick. The doc- tor just said I had to quit wor- rying, and after I quit worry- ing so much, the migraines went away." Sumerau was a little victim of something many college students experience from time to time: too much stress. And while the demands of at- tending college can at times seem overwhelming. Coun- selor Jan Guyden says it's im- portant to remember that stress is a natural part of life. "Stress is just a realistic as- pect of daily life," said Guy- den, a stress counselor at AC's Counseling and Testing Center. "If we had no stress, we'd be dead. Only if it gets to the point where it's unman- ageable does it start causing problems. The Counseling and Test- ing Center conducts a quar- "Stress in itself is not a bad thing. It is a normal neuro- logical response to threats." Jan Guyden, terly seminar on stress which is aimed at making students aware of the nature of stress. During the seminar, Guyden emphasizes that stress is the body's natural reaction to anything it perceives as a threat. "It's not a concept of good stress or bad stress, or react- ing to stress as you shouldn't," Guyden said. "Stress in itself is not a bad thing. It's a normal neuro- logical response to threats." When the stress response is triggered, the heart rate in- creases, blood pressure rises, and muscles become increas- ingly tense. If the body re- mains in this state over a long period of time, health prob- lems could result. "In early days, when early man was in a state of stress, he could either club the wool- ly mammoth or run like hell. Times have changed, but the body still reacts the same way," Guyden said. "Now the woolly mammoths tend to be things without definitive so- lutions, like job difficulties or relationship problems or fi- nancial worries." Or school. Senior political science ma- jor Angie Attaway says her studies "play a very, very, very, very big part" in the amount of stress she feels. Attaway says the most stress- ful times for her fall at the end of every quarter. "There was one time when I didn't have my term paper the day it was suppose to be due," Attaway said. "I was nervous all day, but the pro- fessor gave me an extension. But I always get stressed out at the end of the quarter." Other students become anxious at the start of each new quarter. "At the begin- ning of the quarter I made up my mind I'd make all A's. I told everybody I was going to do it," said senior English major Abbie Marsh. "But then I decided the only person I'd let down would be myself, so I decided not to worry as long as I wasn't going to fail." Marsh is approaching grad- uation and also plans to get married in April. "I'm not as stressed out this quarter as I usually am," she said, "I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel." Guyden says students can learn ways to deal with the stress before the workload be- comes too heavy to bear, (continued on pg. 13) Ten m Eleven (cont. from pg. 10) Planning strategies to com- plete tasks and learning to say no to extra projects are two possible ways students can cut down on the number of stressors in their lives. Students should also be aware of the many roles they play outside the classroom. "Most of us have multiple roles that we juggle," Guyden said. "We may be students, parents, employees, siblings. We get stressed out when the demands for all these roles hit us very quickly in succes- sion." Although students try to deal with these roles sepa- rately, they don't always suc- ceed. "I like to be at school when I'm at school, at work when I'm at work, and at home when I'm at home," said jun- ior accounting major Terrie Shelton. "But school tends to dominate it all. I can't always separate it." Shelton says she makes an effort to control stress. "I try not to think about it," she said. "Part of my problem is that sometimes I procrasti- nate, but I try not to let it all get to me." Guyden says students need to find comfortable ways to relax. Maintaining a support group of family or friends who are willing listeners is one important way to allevi- ate stress. Exercise is another excellent way to relieve anxi- ety. "One if the most effective ways for people to alleviate stress is to include some type of physical activity in their lifestyle," Guyden said. "It may not solve the stressor, but it will allow the body to work off that excessive state of anxiety that accompanies stress." Attaway agrees. "I go walk- ing or just do some kind of exercise every day for about 45 minutes." But she's still open to suggestions for new ways to relax. "If anybody comes up with a really great way of relieving stress, they need to let me know first." Still, not every student ex- ercise to get rid of tension. "I eat, or sometimes I sleep or watch TV and read maga- zines," Marsh said. "I just try to do something totally non- threatening to my mind." Sumerau takes a similar ap- proach to relieving stress. "I quit studying, take a nap, eat, go shopping anything but study, even if it's just sit," she said. "But then you can't al- ways get your mind off school, so you really should just sleep, I guess." But no matter how students deal with stress, they all know when they feel it. "Really," said Sheldon, "stress is just stressful." Jo Angela Edwins ''Stress is just a real- istic part of daily life/' r'^Au^''ii ''One thought could change the whole world/' Natural 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. (Continued to pg. 17) \^; X Fourteen Students take the time to recycle alumi- num cans instead of just throwing them away. Many recycling companies will give up to fifty cents per pound for aluminum. ^^M'^^^-^ ^*< There was an issue on campus this year about the recycling ability of styrofoam cups. -:v.\\>>,A'ct.

Sixteen Improving The ENVIRONMENT r (Cont. from pg. 14) Freshmen Kim Price was typical of the majority: "It's a lot of trouble ar\d not worth it because they don't pay hardly anything." Wendy Johnson agreed. "It just takes so much time." But JoAngela Edwins, a junior, said her family recy- cles newspaper, plastics, and coke bottles. "We take them to North Augusta recycling center. We don't get paid for it. The only reason we got in- volved is because my neph- ew's school got us started." Curt Epps, a 23 year old graduate student, feels the problem is only going to get worse in the future. "I think it's going to get worse because the problems and issues are not being addressed properly. For example the ozone deple- tion is increasing, and oil spills do not get resolved completely. People don't seem to realize the extent of the problem. They keep putting things off and saying they will do something later, and they will change it before it gets too bad. Public aware- ness is better but still not enough to where people are concerned enough for all the problems that we have." Is our community partici- pating in the renewal of our Earth? Not too long ago the answer would have been no, but thanks to Jill Korn the answer is now yes. Earth Day began last year in Augusta. It was a day filled with informa- tion and fun. People of all ages came and learned about different things going on in our environment and what can be done. For example, people learned about the pro- cess of recycling. Where to take it? When to take it? And most important Why? Jill Korn is the founder and the president as of December 1990. They now have official status, a constitution, and their very own board of direc- tors. This is the first local en- vironment organization in our community. "There has been a lot more focus on recy- cling. There is a lot more un- derstanding of the problem and awareness of the people that they are important and they can make a difference. This is a decade for environ- ment. Hopefully by 2000 we won't feel as threatened," said Mrs. Korn. This years Earth Day will be celebrated on Sunday, April 28, 1991 from 1p.m.- 6p.m. at Pendleton King Park. Everyone is hoping this year will be a bigger success than last. It will be another day of information and fun. Many people say they can't do any- thing because they are only one person. Jill Korn would have to disagree. "I'm one person and I've seen what I've done. One thought can change the whole world. My goal is to shift the concerns of people in general locally. If one change is made in a per- son's lifestyle that will make an accomplishment." Will the world take on a better and different perspec- tive in the next 5-10 years? "Even if it does not happen at least I tried. I like to think positively. That's what keeps me going," said Mrs. Korn. Stephanie Rountree Seventeen 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. Thurman K. Brown Eighteen 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. Nineteen PPSM^1S11?KJ^S^^ 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. Renee Raley, Kelley M. Ellis Twenty 1 Students Face Major DECISIONS Tammy Hobbs, a junior majoring in Criminal Justice, decided her future career while watching her favorite TV show, "Cagney and Lac- ey." "I wanted to be a cop, be- cause my role model is Chris Cagney. I love watching all those cop shows and I want to be able to put some of those people away myself," she said. "Most students have some kind of a career in mind when they enter college, but many of them are not very certain that they have made the best possible choice," said Frank S. Endicott, Ph.D., director of placement and professor of education at Northwestern University. "I chose mine, because Dr. Gibson said "What about communications?" Because I was at the point where I was finishing my core and needed to choose a major," said Cath- erine Stuckey, a public rela- tions major. Before a student can make a wise vocational choice, he or she must determine their in- terest and abilities, according to Dr. Endicott. "The college student has lived with him- self for at least 18 years. Dur- ing this period, he has had a variety of experiences both in and out of school. From his past experiences, he can usu- ally get some helpful clues concerning his interest and abilities," he said. "I looked at what my tal- ents are. I'm kind of undecid- ed, but leaning towards busi- ness. I want choices and business will offer me that," said sophomore Teresa Hicks. Leethia Roberts has en- joyed writing for years, espe- cially children's books, so she knew exactly where she was headed. "I just wanted to write, so I flipped through the catalog to find journalism," she said. A large number of college students change from one major to another, "especially those who are enrolled in a college of liberal arts," Dr. Endicott said. "Even though I always wanted to be a cop, there were people telling me I shouldn't be one, so I changed my ma- jor. I went from CJ to busi- ness to education and back to CJ," said Hobbs. "I never should have changed it be- cause it put me behind a quar- ter." Most students feel that al- though pay is probably the most important aspect of the career they chose, they agree that it must be something im- portant and rewarding. "I want to be the one who teaches your children how to read and write. The children that I teach will be America's future leaders and that makes me feel great," said education major Stacy Bird. Available to all AC stu- dents, in the counseling and testing center, are tests which help students determine their strong and weak points. "They can be helpful when they are administered and in- terpreted by a competent counselor. Their value lies in pointing toward some catego- ries of occupations and away from others," Dr. Endicott said. Many AC students have benefitted from the career tests offered on campus. "It helped me get a better perspective on my career," said English major Julie Arm- strong. Although some students feel that the test does not ac- curately measure their true talents. "It told me that I should be a bus driver," said Bird. "Sooner or later every col- lege student must determine what he will do following graduation. There are few de- cisions that are more impor- tant to him," said Dr. Endi- cott.

Voice Of The STUDENTS The 1990-91 school year turned out to be a good one for the Student Government Association. The four year quest for an equitable smok- ing policy finally ended in success. A direct channel be- tween the students and the SGA was re-opened in the form of "Gripe Day." And, al- though it wasn't reflected in voter turn-out, the SGA feels students are becoming more aware of what SGA can do for them. "I think it has been suc- cessful," said SGA president Jennifer Sprague. "We're al- ways going to be our toughest critics. I think pretty much it's been very good, if we look at the things we have accom- plished. There's only so much you can do in one year . . . Hopefully our retention rate will stay high. We've got a lot of brand new senators that will hopefully carry over to next year. We're still working on getting more people in- volved. I think it's been pretty good." Two major tasks of the SGA during the 1990-91 school year were the passage of comprehensive smoking and drinking policies for the campus. The problems have been addressed by each year's SGA for the past several years, but no policies were formulated until Spring quar- ter 1991. "The alcohol policy and the smoking policy were passed during this term. The Student Government Association has worked on that for about four years now. Both of those . . . are major accomplishments," Sprague said. Another mammoth prob- lem tackled by the '90-'91 SGA was apathy. This scourge has plagued the AC campus for years, and the '90- '91 student government was, to a certain extent, another victim. "We couldn't get involved. A lot of people use the excuse that they don't have the time. There's a bunch of things people can do if they want to get involved, if it's only one meeting or sit on one task force or one student faculty committee," said Sprague. In an attempt to get more students out of the woodwork and raise the awareness of both students and SGA, "Gripe Day" was reinstituted. The idea was tried in the past, and it seemed like a good one for the present as well. Students were given the op- portunity to submit their gripes and suggestions on pa- per to the SGA directly. Over 600 submissions were made, and many of them, such as problems with the bookstore, are already being addressed. "Students don't believe that what they say is being lis- tened to. And unfortunately the athletic fee increase, even though the students voted it down. President Wallace still recommended that it go into effect. That almost strength- ens the students position of 'Why in the hell do I bother, they don't listen to us any- way," Sprague said. But, according to Sprague, although students at Augusta College were not participat- ing on the level the SGA would like to have seen, on some counts we weren't as bad off as it seemed. "We standardly have about 150 people that participate (in elections). Those are probably the same 150 people who go to the student function govern- ment functions in the first place," she said, "but with our 150 people voting to the 5,000 students enrolled here, we have a better turn out rate than the University of Geor- gia does, who has 1,000 stu- dents show up to vote to their 26,000 enrollment rate." J.C. Halvorson, chairman of the student senate, feels their most important accom- plishment was the tutoring program at the Augusta Youth Center in Sunset Homes housing development. "They would go down on Monday afternoons for about a two hour period . . . They would do everything from helping with sewing classes to listening to first graders read or helping high school kids with math homework," said Sprague. Halvorson also thinks the communication and coopera- tion between the students and the administration could be better. "I think that, like the old gym, we didn't really know what they were going to do with that until two weeks be- fore they were going to reno- vate it," he said. "It's 'we' and 'they,' and it should be 'us' ... It should be that way. This is Augusta College, we Twenty 5 :f^^^^f5^p55&m^mft?i!?S?^i^?i^ Student GOVERNMENT 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."

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. Tony Garrett K('- Webb Smith, a member of the Rowing team, takes a break during the Regatta to ride on the Riverwalk.

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!

Thirty 2 :i:i^;'^>i^vc^Av:j;?':v -kS-i M 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. Dana J. Yamashita Thirty 3 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.

Thirty 6 Thirty 7 B Everyday campus activities such as getting to class using restroom facilities, or finding a text- book can be obstacles for a student with a handi- cap Whether the handicap is temporary, such as a broken arm or leg, or permanent, these students don't want to be treated differently. Thirty 8 Working; Ground ^ 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 on page 40) Photos by Debi Deeder Thirty 9 Overcoming Physical BARRIERS (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.

Forty 1 ^^i^v^>6;f^v^^MV^:3:y Forty 2 Are You Into The km Dating Game These days the word dating has more than one meaning. To our parents a date was when a boy and a girl went out together, but in the 90's going out with someone one- on-one is not necessarily a date. So, when is a date consid- ered a date, and what is the difference between "dating" and "going out"? Susan O'Brien, a junior at AC says, "I consider a date to be a date when you are with someone you enjoy being with, and you are both doing something that you both con- sider fun." Freshman, Judy Adams, considers a date to be a date, "when both of the peo- ple are able to communicate freely and without hesita- tion." But from a guy's point of view, sophomore Ronnie Pitts says, "a date is a date when the guy has to pay for the date." Dating someone. Going out with someone. Do they mean the same thing? "Not whatso- ever, but dating tends to im- ply a more important aspect of commitment," says senior Hamilton Baiden. Miss O'Brien defines the difference as "Dating" go- ing on a date with someone you like a lot. If you are dat- ing someone, you usually are going out with them just them for a number of times and nobody else. "Going out" going out with friends, she adds. "Dating is more serious than 'going out', dating in- volves boyfriends and girl- friends, 'going out' involves friends," explains Mr. Pitts. In choosing a date, the lead- ing trait most people seem to look for is someone's person- ality, followed by good looks, a positive attitude and being intelligent. The way someone dresses and good humor ties the bow around that perfect package. Going out on a cheap date does not sound to exciting, does it? Cheap meaning not spending much money on a date. But money does not seem to be a big deal to Miss Adams, "I don't think it is the quanity of money my date spends that makes me say he is cheap or not, but it is the quality and how my date tries to make our night special." Mr. Baiden does seem to think money has something to do with it, "It most likely means a date where not much money leaves the male's hands. But it can be a mutual agreement when funds are low. Maybe the definition of dating has changed since our parents dating years, but where couples go on dates are still basically the same. Mov- ies seem to be the most popu- lar choice, whether it is going to see an action-pact, adven- turous flick at the theater, or being scared to death in the privacy of your own home when watching a terrible hor- ror movie on the VCR. "Go- ing out to dinner is still a nice way to entertain someone," says Mr. Pitts. Miss O'Brien agrees about dinner but also likes to go to a carnival or to the fair. Mr. Baiden seems to think that the best date is one that is cheap, fun and looks for a girl that does not mind getting her hair wet or some dirt un- der her fingernails. By that he says, "a weekend at the lake is the best." Meg Lively Forty 3 mm Homecoming 1991 Homecoming 1991 was held the week of February 18-22.

Forty 8 Reaching A DREAM The young men and women who huddled to- gether in a side room of the Augusta College sports center auditorium Saturday June 15 read- justed their caps and hitched up their gowns during their last mo- ments as undergradu- ates. For Krista Love and her fellow nursing school colleagues, it was a emotional time. "I might throw up!" a voice in the background warned. Their eyes sparkled. They were nervous, but smiled, as the Augusta College band began to play the processional march in the back- ground. "This day couldn't have gotten here soon enough," said Mrs. Love, 24, who completed the two-year nursing pro- gram in seven years. "My husband is up there," she said, waving toward the stands. "You'll probably hear him screaming." "This is a 10-year dream for me," said Ja- net Thompson, who also received her associate of science degree in nurs- ing Saturday night. "I've been dreaming about nursing school for that long." Former Gov. Carl E. Sanders was the keynote speaker at Augusta Col- lege's 65th commence- ment ceremony, held at the new Physical Educa- tion/Athletic Complex at the college's Forest Hills campus. Approximately 435 students received gradu- ate and undergraduate degrees. Valedictorians were Tracie Darlene Stone and Vicki Renee ToUeson. Mr. Sanders told the graduates seated before him of the struggles those who had come be- fore them endured to es- tablish instituations of higher learning in Geor- gia, including Augusta College. The journey of a thou- sand miles begins with one step, he told them, "and the college from which you graduate is the result of many steps taken in order to pro- mote higher education. Cathy Geyso, Augusta Chronicle Forty 9 ACAD D U TO <30 PEOFL J JL TO SEE 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 Fifty 3 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."

Fifty 5 chool Of -Txrts & Sciences A 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. Taken from General Catalog 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. Stephanie Shaw Debi Deeder Fifty 6 Debi Deeder H Dr. Elizabeth House was chosen to take the place of Dean Ronald Tallman effective July 1, 1991. Dr. House is with the Developmental Studies Department. Bell Ringer File Fifty 7 Dean Martha K. Farmer Martha K. Farmer, Dean of the School of Busii\ess Ad- ministratioi\, attended the University of Alabama and the University of South Caro- lina and received a B.S., MSC, and a Ph.D. She currently leads and manages the Busi- ness School at Augusta Col- lege. According to Mrs. Farm- er, she has watched the involvement of students, fac- ulty and staff increase throughout the years. "It is natural to avoid involvement which brings about caring be- cause caring opens one to the possibility of pain. As more and more students, faculty, and staff take this risk, Au- gusta College will become all that it can." Business Schools throughout the world have a profound im- pact on the way business is done. For this reason, American busi- ness schools are taking a long hard look at themselves. The Au- gusta College Business School is no exception. This serious and intense intro- spection focuses on all the ingre- dients of an educational experi- ence: students, faculty, curriculum, and infrastructure. Students are the primary focus. The attention paid to faculty, curriculum and infrastructure is determined by the impact on the student. Assisting students in their preparation for a job, a career, and for life is the primary goal of the Augusta College Business School. To do this, we offer the basic courses in all the functional areas of business including ac- counting, economics, finance, management, marketing, and management information sys- tems. That is, we teach students how to do things which makes them good managers. However, we also go beyond this. We add breath and link theory to prac- tice. In this way we assist stu- dents in their development of their ability to make the right de- cisions and to lead. Over the next five years, newly hired faculty will be diverse and have a strong commitment to teaching. In addition they must bring with them or develop the ability to relate the textbook to applications. Through innova- tive teaching, which focuses on facilitating student learning, these faculty will move Augusta College toward recognition as the premier teaching institution in the Georgia System. Augusta's business communi- ty has made a commitment to as- sist us in the realization of this vision. Over the next five years, this commitment will become more and more visible as the community, through the Board of Advisor provides advice to and seeks advice from our faculty, critically evaluates our cirricu- lum, and supports us in the de- velopment of our infrastructure. We in the Business School are proud of our students and of our progress toward their goals. We look forward to the future with excitement and a commitment to excellence. Dean Martha Farmer Fifty 9 Sixty chool Of tlducation Courses Contain A Laboratory Or Clinical Component. 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, Mathematics, and social stud- ies, and the Special Education fields of Behavior Disorders, Joseph A. Murphy, Dean of the School of Education, attended Western Kentucky, Emory University, and the University of Geor- gia and earned a B.S., M.Ed., and an Ed.D. He is married and has three children, two step chil- dren, one adopted child, and four grandchildren. He has resided in Geor- gia for 36 years and en- joys traveling in his free time. According to Dean Murphy, "members of the student body and members of the faculty would benefit from greater involvement in College life." He would like to see Augusta Col- lege regain NCATE Reaccrediatation and form closer working re- lationships with area schools. Lisa Ackerman Interrelated Special Education and Mental Retardation. The Specialist in Education degree requires one year of graduate course work beyond the Masters degree. All pro- grams that are available at the Masters degree level are avail- able at the Specialist level ex- cept the Behavior Disorders and Mental Retardation pro- grams in Special Education. All of the professional courses taught in the School of Education contain a labora- tory or clinical component. This part of the course pro- vides students an opportunity to observe and/or apply con- cepts learned in class in a reg- ular school setting. Dean Joseph Murphy Sixty 1 (mmMmm&Mm'mmmmm 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!"

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.

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.

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. Nicky Zuber '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. Robert Naddra Courtesy of Augusta Chronicle/Herald Seventy 5 BASKETBALL mmmmmm u-'r/ZMw 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.

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.

Eighty 1 r i BASEBALL JAGS -w- 'w- y poWer The Augusta College Jag- uars, playing against the toughest schedule in school history, nevertheless dis- played a solid offensive at- tack, good steady pitching, and a defense that innproved in the second half of the sea- son to help forge a 27-30 over- all record. The 1991 schedule included 24 road games and eight neutral site games. The squad was also in the thick of the Big South Conference race in their final year in the con- ference and Division I, finish- ing second in the regular sea- son and fourth in the tournament. When you consider that the Jags losses were to teams like SEC foe Kentucky, powerful Florida International, Metro powerhouse South Carolina, ACC champion Clemson and runner-up Georgia Tech, pe- rennial powerhouse Georgia Southern, Southern Confer- ence heavyweight Western Carolina, defending national champion Georgia and Divi- sion II ranked Armstrong State, Georgia College, and USC-Aiken, 1991 was a moral victory for the team. Thirteen of the losses came to teams who went on to post-season Eighty 2 play, including six teams that make the NCAA Baseball Tournament. There were certainly many highlights along the way. The Jags swept a pair of games from Southern Conference champion Furman, beat 1990 World Series participant The Citadel, won all but one series in the Big South Conference, and took two of three regular season games from Big South regular season and tourna- ment champion Coastal Caro- lina. The Jags got off to a 2-7 start playing their first nine games on the road, but they made the most of their first home appearances as Rob Jackson notched his second win of the young season, a 7-1 triumph over Conference champion Furman. SWIN^G But even after a slow start, the Jaguars bounced back, es- pecially against Big South teams. The Jags won their only meeting with Davidson, swept a double-header with Charleston Southern, took two of three at Radford, swept Campbell in three one-run games on the road, and took two of three from Coastal Carolina. The team's only Big South losing series came at UNC-Asheville, losing two of three, but the team bounced back to take two of three from Winthrop to close out a 14-4 regular season against the Big South. The team won their first two games of that series to pull to 25-25 on the year, but lost the final game of the set and dropped games to (Continued pg. 84) Jennifer Sprague Jennifer Sprague Eighty 3 (Cont. from pg. 82) 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.

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.

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- MtlMIIMUftffMff^ cess. With great team spirit and in pursuit of their goals, the Augusta College Aqua Jags are growing stronger, tougher, and splashing up a storm.

Ninety 5 HIGHLIGHTS '90-'9 1 JAGUAR reVue Ninety 6 Ninety 7 _a^ ^M^;?^^^^^ y=^/i^: 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.

Below: Butler Hall Lecture Room sponsored many AC functions, including the Rape Seminar. Lisa Ackerman Freshman Daun Amerson Senior Deanne Andersen Senior Holly Arnold Junior Meloney Baggs Junior Jason Balkcum Junior Robert Bass Kim Berzins Freshman One Hundred 4 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." Maria Manfredonia Shannon Black Freshman Barbara Blackburn Freshman Michael Blanchard Junior Nicoletta Block!

Z,xi> One Hundred 11 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.

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."

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.

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.

Wright Senior k m 'martfl % ^' Jennifer Spragui One Hundred 40 One Hundred 41 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." Mike Wynn I Courtesy of the Augusta Chronicle/Herald One Hundred 42 Above: Ty Hoff plays pool to relax in his spare One Hundred 43 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.

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.
