At Augusta College, many
events took place that made
this year different from the
year before, but there will
always be those little things,
parking for instance, that
never change.

DIFFERED

Augusta College is an institu-
tion that is constantly in a changing
mode. Being a commuter college,
students come and go quarter after
quarter. However, students were
not the only difference this year.
Augusta College inherited a new
acting president. Dr. Martha Farmer,
after the death of former president.
Dr. Richard S. Wallace.

Students and faculty had to
work around new budget cuts. Fac-
ulty had a "helping hand" when
student government initiated an In-
House volunteer service.

Students and faculty took in-
terest in improving our campus by
campaigning for recycling aware-
ness, alcohol awareness, and safe-
sex promotion. Augusta College

also remained an alcohol-free cam-
pus prohibiting alcohol at any cam-
pus functions.

Students and faculty had to
wait a few more weeks before head-
ing out for spring break which was
moved to Masters Week. With all
these different changes through the
year, Augusta College may look the
samebutinitsown way... different.

According to the purists of the
calendar, the new decade truly began
in 1991. The year 1991 was full of the
best and worst of times. These events
are what made the difference from the
year before and no other year can
claim them.

Just when the chimes of free-
dom were ringing in the Soviet Union,
the Kremlin and Gorbechov's empire
crumbled to his feet; dividing the coun-
try along with its people.

On the homefront, Americans
were finally shifting back to a more
serene state after being caught in the
middle of war halfway across the
world.

But it was one of America's
most prestigious athlete's admittance
to the HIV virus that can lead to AIDS,
that woke up America. Magic John-
son opened our eyes to the fact that
this deadly virus can occur to anyone.

Sexual harassment took a front-
row seat in congress when Professor
Anita 1 li 11 poured out charges against
Clarence Thomas.

As if to turn away from their
troubles even for a mere glimpse, the
world focused its attention on one of
the most unforgettable World Series.
For those of us at home, the toma-
hawk-chopping Atlanta Braves be-
came a household name as they sizzled
their way to the top with a MIRACLE
SEASON.

Just as everything in the U.S.
was improving, Americans watched
a gruesome event that shook our na-
tion. Los Angeles- an image etched
forever in our minds. It was the first
time in years that our country seemed
unstable and out of control when the
officers of the Rodney King beating
were acquitted. Innocent lives were
taken as people rioted in the streets
after the verdict was read.

Every event made a difference
in our lives even if it didn't effect us
directly. But through every event, we
as a nation learned something so next
year we can resolve to do better.

k

^1 tudent life on campus had its differ-

Oences this year. Enrollment increased
by 100. making it harder to find a
parking space in the already packed parking lot and
made the registration lines almost unbearable.

Students and faculty who smoke had difficult
time finding a place to "light up". All buildings
except for the lower level of the College Activity
Center became smoke free.

Recycling Week made students and faculty
more "Earth Conscious." Campus offices recycled
cans and paper and recycling bins were placed near
the Chateau for students and faculty.

Spring Break coincided with Masters Week
this year which seemed to make Winter and Spring
quarters go on forever.

Student Life - What a difference!

Fientation

Do you remember Ori-
entation? Were you nervous,
excited, and frightened all at the
same time? Were you unsure of
what the day would bring, since
all of your friends in college had
already told you that ALL the
classes were taken? Were you
relieved to find out later that
those people exaggerating? As
you went around that day
weren't you glad that you had
those nice smiling people wear-
ing those loud neon green
nametags there to help you? I'm
sure you were. Those smiling
faces were the highly skilled and
trained members of the Augusta
College Orientation Advising
Registration Special Programs
staff, or OARS for short.

The OARS staff is com-
posed of students, who have
volunteered their services for a
period of one academic year.
The staff was the brain child of
Kathy Thompson, director of En-
rollment Management. She
wanted to "create a corps of
trained student volunteers that
would provide a continuity from
program to program." Prior to
the inception of the program.
Orientation was staffed by
whomever showed up to help
that morning. Now, the staff is
composed of people who put in
as many hours as 65 hours in a
year helping out with these pro-
grams.

Becoming an OARS
staff member is relatively easy.
One only needs to make an ap-
plication with Ms. Thompson,
who is located in the START UP
center on the third floor of the
CAC. Applications can be taken
all year long. After the applica-
tion is turned in, the prospective
staff member is then handed an
envelope with a check off sheet
attached. The student has to go
around and collect the neces-
sary materials, find the right
places, and speak to some im-

portant people. Some of the things
the staff learns are the number and
position of all of the SGA free
phones, where all of the adminis-
trative offices are and what OPIDS
is and where it is located. They
also must obtain literature from
such Student Services offices as
Counseling and Testing, Financial
Aid, and Student Activities. They
must talk to Vice-Presidents
Bompart and Barnabei, the Regis-
trar, and the associate Dean of Stu-
dents, Roscoe Williams, to name a
few. Once this is turned in, the
training with the current staff takes
place and the new staff member is
introduced to that most hectic of
days: Orientation Day.

Orientation Day is long
and tiring for everyone. The pro-
grams don't start until 10 a.m., but
the OARS staff usually arrives in
the PAT before 9 a.m. to set up.
Usually there are already a few
new students who are trying to get
a jump on the system, but don't
realize that they aren't able to reg-
ister after a particular time, be-
cause the computer won't allow it.
Once the doors are open , the new
students don't trickle in, they flood
in.

The first face a new stu-
dent sees are those people who
hand out the packets of useful in-
formation. Also at the station are
pencils, program schedules, infor-
mation for Developmental Stud-
ies students. Transfer information,
and any other club or organization
that manages to get their informa-
tion to the OARS staff. From there
the students go to the next station,
where they pick up their schedule
sheets. It is here that some prob-
lems are addressed: Some people
do not have schedule sheets, im-
munization forms are not filed,
there is some sort of admissions
hold, etc... These problems are
handled by the staff and represen-
tative from Admissions, usually
Patti Peabody. From there the stu-
dents enter the Auditorium, where

aze

they are sat according to their ma-
jor. There are OARS staff members
inside to help them with any other
questions. Usually the students are
very restless. Many of them do not
want to be there, they are worried
about losing their classes. A few
decide to leave the program and
short circuit the process. They are
found later in the day, wandering
around campus confused and in
need of help. Once the program
starts, these new students are given
an overdose of information con-
cerning student services. Transfer
credits. Developmental studies.
Registration procedures and prob-
lems with the "Registration Day
from Hell" skit. After all of their
questions have been answered, and
perhaps a few more caused, the
students are taken to their advi-
sors. Here, it may take some time
for the larger groups to see an
advisor, but the OARS staff is there
to help by answering what ques-
tions they can, and telling the stu-
dents what classes are actually
closed. The OARS staff does not
leave the station until the last stu-
dent is gone, and then they go to
see if another area needs help. This
process can take as much as two
hours. When this is finished the
students and staff split their ways.
The students go to register, buy
their parking stickers, get their ID's
madeand pay theirbills. The OARS
staff reports back to the START UP
center, where they relax for a few
minutes and then fill out reports of
the program and how the advising
sessions with the students went.

Orientation Day is a very
busy day for all. It would be a little
more difficult for everyone with-
out the OARS staff there to help.
New students have a chance to be
greeted by fellow students who
are willing to help. This helps to
make the transition a little easier.
That is the main mission of the
OARS staff: To be there to just help
when needed.

The effect of diet on
health has been a concern for
mankind for thousands of
years. In 1600 A.D., Thomas
Moffett wrote in Heth (sic) Im-
provement, "Men dig their
Graves with their own Teeth,
and die more by these fated
Instruments than the Weapons
of their Enemies."

Today more and more
scientific and medical studies
DO Unk diet to a host of deadly
diseases, including a variety of
cancers and heart disease. As a
result, people are altering their
life-styles to include a healthier
diet, and vegetarianism, once
I looked upon as offbeat, is com-
ing into its own. In fact, accord-
ing to The Vegetarian Times
magazine, about eight million
\ Americans are now vegetar-
I ians, including many celebri-
ties like Candice Bergan,
Christie Brinkly, George
Harrison, Stevie Wonder, and
Paul and Linda McCartney.

Augusta College has its
share of vegetarians too, and
the Higher Taste Club was
started this year to help veg-
etarians and those interested in
the life-style network and share
information. Club members
include students, faculty, and
staff members-some who have
sworn off meat for as many as
16 years, as well as novices of
several months. Non-vegetar-
ians also frec|uent the meetings.
Club president Smita
I'atel, a vegetarian for eight
years, said that one of the main
functions of the group will be
education. "We're not here to
try to con vert anyone-we'll give

them the facts, and they can
decide for themselves. We can
serve as a resource and support
group for anyone who is inter-
ested."

Hema Patel, vice-presi-
dent of the group, pointed out
that while many people view
vegetarians as "carrot
crunchers," nothing could be
further from the truth. "Veg-
etarians choose from a wide
variety of foods, including veg-
etables, fruits, grains, and le-
gumes (peas and beans). There
are also varying degrees of veg-
etarianism-lacto, which in-
cludes use of dairy products;
ovo, which includes eggs; lacto-
ovo, which uses both eggs and
dairy products; and vegan (pro-
nounced vee-gun), which use
no animal products at all. It
gives people a lot of freedom to
choose what they feel most com-
fortable with, and what fits in
best with their life-style."

Faculty advisor Paul
Sladky, assistant professor of
English and a 16-year vegetar-
ian, said, "In the 70's people
became vegetarians for ethical,
moral, pohtical, and spiritual
reasons - health was not the
prominent argument that it is
today. Vegetarianism seems to
follow closely the new direc-
tion of holistic medicine, with
its larger concern for a kind of
'preventive' health mainte-
nance. The low cholesterol na-
ture of the vegetarian diet has
strong appeal. On of our pur-
poses is to make people aware
of this option."

Althougli lieiillh con-
cerns are probably a major rea-

son most Americans give up
meat, Ms. Patel said some envi-
ronmental problems caused by
meat consumption are becom-
ing more important. She said,
"Growing one pound of wheat
takes 60 gallons of water, while
you will use 2500 to 6000 pounds
of water to get the same amount
of meat. Slaughterhouses and
feedlots are also big users of
fresh water, which is a precious
resource we need to conserve."
The students reasons
for giving up on meat are di-
verse, but club members feel
good about their choices. Club
secretary Yi-Huey Yong, a Pre-
Med major, said, "All my hfe
I've been conscious of what I
was eating. As a biology major,
seeing all the dead fish and
animals made me realize what
life actually meant and what
meat really is."

Ira Chase, a counseling
psychologist at the Counseling
and Testing Center, has been a
vegetarian for nine years. He
said, "I think vegetarianism con-
tributes to wellness- it's part of
a whole life-style. For me, not
eating meat is a moral and
health issue. I feel that it's
healthier for me, and 1 know it's
healthier for the animals."

Ms. Patel encouraged
by the student response to the
group, said, "Now, we have
about 15 members and that
number is growing. We have
as many members as a lot of
college clubs, even though veg-
etarians are a definite minor-
ity."

"We're at war

U.S. planes bomb Baghdad"

The headhne in The Au-
gusta Chronicle on the morning
of Jan. 17, 1991, was the state-
ment of what had taken place
the night before. For the fifth
time in this century, the United
States had committed itself to a
major war.

There was a difference
in this war and the ones that
preceded it, however. This one
was seen and heard around the
world on live television. Cable
Network News brought wave
after wave of fighter-bombers
battering Baghdad into our liv-
ing rooms homes where
brothers, sisters, parents and
friends of men and women in-
volved in the fighting nervously
watched and listened.

The liberation of Ku-
wait had begun. The mood was
somber. At Augusta College,
many students and staff mem-
bers watched the war on televi-
sion late into the night. Many
missed classes or reported to
their offices late. A television
was brought into the Butler Hall
Snack Bar. There was little con-
versation. What conversation
there was centered on the war.

The picture was the
same in the College Activities
Center lounge where students
gathered in front of the 52-inch
television screen.

The United States had
been demanding for five-and-

a-half months that Iraq with-
draw from Kuwait. American
warplanes and several thou-
sand ground troops had been
dispatched to Saudi Arabia in
August. Military reserve units
were put on stand-by for acti-
vation.

Before the war ended,
it was brought very close to
home at Augusta College. It hit
closest to Theresa M. Bryant,
director of the Division of Con-
tinuing Education. Her brother
was among the casualties. He
was a gunner, one of 14 crew
members flying on a support
mission killed when their air-
craft was shot down on Janu-
ary 31 . She said that her brother,
as well as the others who lost
their lives were career military.
"They were just doing their
jobs."

In the fall of 1990 when
troops were being put on alert
for possible duty in Saudi
Arabia, enrollment at AC to-
taled 5,205 which was 33 fewer
students than had enrolled the
previous fall. By winter quar-
ter, registration was down to
5,020. Spring enrollment was
down by another seven stu-
dents. Since the war's end, it
has been on the upswing.

There were no mecha-
nisms in place to determine if
the decline was Persian Gulf
related, according to Jackie
Stewart of the AC office of In-
stitutional Research. "Wedidn't

know where our students were
working, how many were in
the military or how many were
military dependents," she said.

For ROTC students at
AC, the war made their mili-
tary studies more serious. "We
were no longer talking in ab-
stracts," said LTC Patrick D.
Rivette, professor of Military
Science.

"It definitely height-
ened their interest," Rivette
said. "Instead of just studying
about logistical support and
biological warfare, they saw it
was something they could be
called upon to know. These are
skills you must learn before be-
ing called to active duty. Once
you're there, you don't have
time to learn. You have to do."

his stop at Bush Field airport February 28th and
stayed the afternoon to eat lunch with local city
and county officials.

Far Right: On a global view, the coup in the Soviet
Union began on August 19, 1991. An eight-man
committee led by Vice President Gennady
Yanayev took power from President Mikhail S.
Gorbachev. Yanayev said Gorbachev was ill. As
Russian President Boris Yeltsin called on Rus-
sians to resist the coup, tanks and other military
gear moved into Moscow.

Voters and non voters
on campus have similar per-
spective of political campaigns,
whether it involves national,
local or student government
politics. "A joke: they start
sweet and then the mud starts
slinging," said Elizabeth
Harper, as she worked in the
campus book store. Freshman
Charles Bell said, "I think about
a lot of unkept promises and
dishonesty." But for those who
get involved in campus poli-
tics, the rewards and accom-
plishments are many. "Its such
a wonderful experience once
you get involved," said Patti
Peabody, the first female Stu-
dent Government Association
President, serving in 1 986-1987.

The lack of student in-
volvement and delays in acting
on issues sometimes spell a big

negative for campus politics.
"There are two groups of stu-
dents, those who get involved
and those who don't, and stu-
dents are working harder leav-
ing less time for politics," said
Peabody.

Also, there is some-
times a delay in resolving some
issues because leaders are not
in a permanent position. Sev-
eral of the colleges leadership
positions are vacant, and it is
easier for acting leaders to de-
lay the decision making pro-
cess.

Sometimes the growth
of the college sometimes causes
issues that were handled ear-
lier to reemerge, like parking.
Many new spaces were made
available three years ago, but
the continuing enrollment in-
crease has once again caused a

problem with parking.

Student involvement
has increased some during the
current tenure of Al Hamilton,
outgoing SGA President.
"We've got over 10 percent of
the student body voting and
the Senate size had doubled....
I want to see people involved. I
am concerned about this cam-
pus and the community,"
Hamilton said. He thinks the
faculty has had a lot to do with
the current involvement by
speaking about upcoming
events during class and vocally
encouraging students to par-
ticipate.

"Hottest issues this
past year have been dealing
with the budget cuts, modifica-
tion of the Student Activity Cen-
ter and teacher evaluations."
During the budget cuts stu-
dents created a volunteer pro-
gram and have been very help-
ful contributing their time to
ease the extra burden placed on
the faculty. Modifications of
the CAC building arose from a
survey by the Judicial Cabinet.
The new deck is in the planning
process now. The teacher evalu-
ation program, however, is one
issue that seems never to get
resolved.

hi spiteof thenegatives
there are big positives for those
who get involved. Much can be
gained from participating in tlie
political structure. Students
learn to be leaders and leaders
learn humility. "Learning to
di'.il with people is the greatest
thing 1 learned," said Peabody.
"Learning to deal with people,
lo in.iki' unluirried decisions
,HHi patience are the most im-
portant things for me," said
I lamilton.

Imagine going to a col-
lege library and being sur-
rounded by hoards of goofy
teenagers with nothing but rag-
ing hormones on their mind.
Definitely not the ideal study
location.

Believe it or not, just a
couple of years ago, this image
was a horrifying dilemma that
the Reese Library at Augusta
College was facing. Assistant
Head of Public Services for
Reese Library, Roxann Bustos,
remembers the invasion of the
immature local teenagers all to
well.

"I can remember a
couple of years ago finding
teenagers on the upper floors
of the library tossing M&M's
around like they were still in
their high school cafeterias,"
Bustos said. "They were acting
like wild animals, and I felt like
I was in a zoo instead of a col-
lege library."

"Ever since that inci-
dent, high school students have
been forbidden to enter the li-
brary after 5:45 PM without
adult supervision," Bustos said.
"We started posting a guard at
the front entrance, who checked
student's IDs before allowing
them to enter through the front
gates."

"After most of the im-
mature trouble makers found
out about the new regulations,
they must have found other
places to cause trouble because
the noise and confusion at the
library seemed to calm down,"
Bustos said. "The guard that
stands at the front gate occa-
sionally stops the younger look-
ing people to make sure they
are AC students."

Augusta College has
come a long way since the days
of troubled teens invading col-

lege students space. As a mat-
ter of fact, 1992 brought many
students into the library for sev-
eral different reasons. Some stu-
dents came to enrich their stud-
ies with the vast research mate-
rials, while others came to en-
rich their social lives.

"Younger students go
to the library to socialize, but
when they get into the higher
level classes they tend to use
the library to study a lot more,"
said Reed Coss, a Senior Com-
munications major.

"From my experience,
more students come to the li-
brary to study rather than to
socialize," Assistant Librarian
John O'Shea said. "However the
library is a place for people to
gather, so naturally socializing
is also an integral part of the
system."

"I think as long as stu-

dents aren't being disrespect-
ful to others than they can do
whatever they want," Bustos
said. "I am really happy to see
the students using the library
regardless of their intentions."

Whatever the initial
reason might be for making a
trip to the library, students will
surely come away with some
gained insight. Whether the
knowledge has been academic
or social, students will saunter
away from Reese Library with
valuable insights into the
world.

AC students should
also feel privileged that they
have the infinite right to use
the library's resources without
being subjected to prosecution.
Just imagine how envious those
uncontrollable hormone crea-
tures must be!

when completing homework projects.

some students can take advantage of the quiet

In November of 1991, a
group of Augusta College stu-
dents who were members of the
Science Fiction and Fantasy club,
received a unique opportunity to
participate in an adventure of
"sword and sorcery" that was dif-
ferent from the more traditional
dice and paper fantasy role-play-
ing games that they were used to.
This adventure was a live fan-
tasy role-playing game spon-
sored by the Atlanta provisional
chapter of the International Fan-
tasy Gaming Society (IFGS). Since
that time, the members have par-
ticipated in all of games in Geor-
gia, which is well over a dozen,
as well as two in Decatur, Ala-
bama sponsored by the Decatur
provisional chapter.

The International Fantasy
Gaming Society is a national or-
ganization consisting of over 3000
members with chapters in many
states including California, Colo-
rado, Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio,
Alabama, and Georgia. The soci-
ety is dedicated to producing fun,
safe and imaginative games.
There are rules to cover Fantasy,
Undercover (spy), and Science
Fiction games. At this point in
time the Atlanta chapter has only
run Fantasy games.

A game has been likened to
a play where the players, called
PC's for the players characters,
have no copy of the script and
must improvise their way
through the play. They must play
off of each other and of the people
who do possess a script, called
NPC's for non-player characters.
This is a considerable test of one's
skills and imagination. During
the game, the PC's must usually
overcome some obstacle in order
to "rescue the princess", of per-
haps "find the ancient lost trea-
sure of so and so. " These ob-
stacles can range from some sort
of puzzle similar in concept to
the Sphinx's riddle of ancient

layiii:

Greek mythology, or a combat
where the PC's "blood." While
these encounters may be a major
part of the game, some encoun-
ters may consist of only meeting
with an NPC and talking with
them, trying to glean some infor-
mation out of them about the
game.

These games can last any-
where from four hours to forty-
eight hours in length. Players are
awarded points based on their
performance called experience
points. These points allow a char-
acter to advance through levels.
As the characters gain higher lev-
els they become more powerful
and gain new abilities. Along
with these points is the possibil-
ity of gaining treasure from each
game for that character.

At the core of all of these
games are the characters that
players develop using the rules
system. There are eight character
classes or professions and the few
members from Augusta cover all
of them.

The club's secretary. Misty
Nistler (Education major), has de-
veloped two female Clerics, Glow
Gilith and Emma, and a female
Fighter, Blaze, who are based
upon characters she developed
for a Dungeons and Dragons
campaign she plays in. Sean
Hiland (Political Science) has de-
veloped a Knight, Alistar, who
comes from an island nation simi-
lar to England and an Arabian
merchant wizard named Akeer.
Tom Ricks (English) developed
a Priest, Redwin, and a nearly
incompetent Mage named
Vladamir, who was just recently
cured of vamparism. Gary
Nistler (Psychology) has a Thief
named Jacks, a Druid named
Jason l3owridge, and a Knight
named Imbia. Rob Hay nie (Com-
puter Science) has a college
Kiingcr called Jordan Bowridge,
and a bliin,. i^avid Caradine- like

vJaine'

Monk character called San-Do.

Participating in the games
provides many benefits. The
games allow one to pit their act-
ing talents against another indi-
vidual or may just push them-
selves to the limits of trying to
stay in character for several
hours. It helps to promote men-
tal agility as a player tries to re-
member what effect a spell may
have or try to keep track of how
many life points he may have in
the middle of a big fight. The
games also helps one to become
physically fit. Hiking through
the country side all day with a
pack on your back, interspersed
with mock combats is a physical
challenge in itself. If one hap-
pens to play the part of an NPC in
a fighting encounter and three
teams of PC's come through in
one day at about twenty minute
intervals, being physically fit is a
plus.

The pictures accompany-
ing this article were taken at a
game called Dark Lands Crossing
written by P. Dennis Waltman,
the current Atlanta Chapter presi-
dent. The game was played on
November 23, 1991. The party
leader or Loremaster was James
Hooper as the Ranger, Jordan
Bowridge. Other party members
include Tom Ricks as Vladamir
the Mage, Sean Hiland as Alistar,
Misty Nistler as the Cleric of
Grimm Emma (that great "god"
of fables and fairy tales), and Gary
Nistler as the Druid, Jason
Bowridge all from Augusta Col-
lege. A visitor from Florida, Tim
Kennedy, played the artisticThief
and was thoroughly enjoyed by
the group. The characters all
came away from the game alive
and with a modest amount of
treasure and experience points.

Toscanini, Leonard
Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan,
Robert Shaw. The mere men-
tion of the names of these great
twentieth century conductors
conjures up thoughts of great-
ness, strength and power. The
leader who stands before a sym-
phony orchestra or concert
choir possesses the utmost com-
mand and abihty to emanate
beautiful music.

Music majors at Au-
gusta College are given the rare
opportunity to learn about and
appreciate the complexity and
savoir-faire of fine conducting
through its study in three suc-
cessive courses: Basic Conduct-
ing, band and Orchestra Tech-
niques, and Choral and Re-
hearsal Techniques. Dr. Alan
Drake, professor of Basic Con-
ducting, teaches the students
beat patterns and conducting
with a batan held in the right
hand.

Eventually, they learn to use
their left-hand independently
from their right for cueing, con-
trolling dynamics, and empha-
sizing emotion. He tells the class
to be as "straightforward as
possible," and that "individual
style will follow."

Terms such as "impulse
of will," a confident prepara-
tion of the beat, the "ictus", or
precision of each beat, and
"takt," constancy or tempo, soon
become familiar to the conduct-
ing student.

Each student has the
chance to conduct a choir and
instrumental ensemble formed
by therest of the class. Senior
Vicky Knowles, explains that
"condvicting is harder than it

looks and requires a lot olf prac-
tice and a lot of thoughtl"

Upon entering the
class, each person must culmi-
nate everything that he has
studied in music. A conductor
must be a fine musician, have
an acute knowledge of music
theory, comprehend music his-
tory, posses technique aind be
musicial. The most difficult el-
ement of conducting is being
able to convey to the musician
what is intended in the music.
A conductor suddenly becomes
a leader, a teacher, and a por-
trayer of musicial interpreta-
tion with the expectation of
pleasing the listeners. Conduct-
ing "opens up a whole new
world of interpretation," says
Kevin Pollack.

Ultimately what is im-
portant in any class is the end
result. Alice Milligan expresses
her sentiments: "Taking this

class really inakes me appreci-
ate a good conductor. It in-
creases my pleasure in going to
a symphony because now not
only do I hear the music, I can
see the music."

The priority of the
music department at Augusta
College is to make music. The
highly qualified professors who
are teachers as well as perform-
ers make it their job to educate
their students through the study
of music theory, music history,
ear training, private lessons,
ensemble work, recital lab, or-
chestration, and conduction,
yielding a fine musician.

Unlike other depart-
ments, a freshman entering the
music department has already
become well-acquired with his
field of study, his instrument or
voice, through many years of
practice and lessons.

The Augusta College
Alumni and friends gathered
for the Annual Barbeque on
Thursday, October 17. The
Alumni Board changed the site
of the Barbeque this year from
the Quadrangle to the Alumni
House. The change was made
to help the Association with
their fundraising efforts to reno-
vate the Alumni house.
$150,000 is needed for the reno-
vations and the Board wanted
Alumnists to see the needed
repairs.

The fundraising event was
kicked off by a barbeque din-
ner. The fundraiser, according
to Hillis De Roller, was a brick-
selling program. It was coordi-
nated by De Roller and Helen
Hendee and chaired by Carolyn
Whitt, Alumni Association
Coordinator. The bricks were

sold for donations between
$100- $5,000. Purchasers will
have their names printed on
the bricks which will then be
used in the renovations. The
bricks will be used to make a
patio garden/fountain area in
the backyard of the Maxwell
House.

Besides great food, the
guests were treated to music
and an Art exhibt featuring lo-
cal artists from the Summerville
area. Over six-hundred hun-
gry people were served by
Neal's Bar-B-Que and the des-
serts were home-made by
Alumni members and the AC
Student Ambassador Board.

The music was pro-
vided by Toole And Company,
The Sweet AdeUnes, The Loral
Lady Barbershoppers and Mike
Brown and his Brass Quintet.

The weather was perfect
for the fundraising event.

Other events of the Asso-
ciation throughout the year in-
cluded a fundraising Phone- A-
Thon, the Christmas Tree Light-
ing Ceremony with Santa Claus
and the Summerville area resi-
dents, participating in the
Homecoming events, the
Spring Gala awards ceremony,
and the Annual Golf Tourna-
ment. A 50 year class reunion
for the class of 1942 was held in
May,1992.

In 1992, AC had about
11, 000 Alumni members. Some
of the benefits the $50 dues in-
clude for AC Alumnist include
notification of and special dis-
counts to AC events such as
campus events, movies and the-
ater performances.

"Augusta College Homecoming
means fellowship, activities and re-

King for 1992. To Smita Patel, Homecom-
ing means "a bunch of my friends and the
Augusta College students getting together
to have a great 'collegiate' time."

On February 15, Smita Patel and
Al Hamilton experienced Homecoming
to its fullest when they were crowned
king & queen during the Homecoming
men's basketball game. Not only the new
king and queen were presented to the

Augusta College students, but also the new i|
mascot for the Jaguars, Al E. Cat. I

All these years,
the Augusta College basket-
ball games have lacked one
important fan- an active Au-
gusta College mascot! Stu-
dents, faculty and even the
public fans have wondered
why the Jaguar mascot has
not existed. Well, since the
homecoming game of Au-
gusta College on February
15, 1992 they did not have to
wonder anymore. During
the half-time of the home-
coming game featuring Au-
gusta College VS Georgia
College, Al E. Cat was named
the Augusta College mascot.

A total of 258 dif-
ferent mascot names were
submitted. Jazzy, Paws,
Jammin' Jac, A.C.'ey and Al
E. Cat were the top five
choices.

Homecoming was
a fun and exiting night for
everyone, especially for
Grady Leonard who received
$50 for coming up with the
mascot'sname,AlE.Cat! The
mascot suit was generously
paid for by an Augusta Col-

Where is the "Chateau"?
That is the first obstacle to be
met when an adventurous stu-
dent decides to put his ego on
the hne and audition for an AC
theatre production. That yel-
low storage house has intimi-
dated many aspiring actors. Is
it the building itself or the abuse
that is rumored to take place
within its four walls that fright-
ens even the most self-actual-
ized artist? The answer can only
be revealed when one dares to
darken the doorway.

From that moment on,
your soul, and any hopes of a
dramatic career, are left to the
mercy of your "dear uncle", as
Dr. Gene Muto is known to
Drama majors. (Beware to any
Georgia native hopefuls, who
will undoubtedly be berated for
a southern accent; his bark is
worse than his bite.) On one
end of the room, we have the

lion's den, or more specifically
Gene's corner.

"The whole process of au-
ditioning, being cast, and
acting in a play is to-
gether terrifying and ex-
citing. The terror
dimishes, though, when
the electricity on open-
ing night surges within
everyone. "

Charla Huck

In perfect view of the
hunter, his prey anxiously
awaits the call for the next vic-
tim. It's fun to watch the line -
up: The newcomers intimidated
by the old hands; the old hands

intimidated by the new blood
that could be their replacement.
What seemed like a game on
one side of the room, stops in
the long walk to the slaughter-
house. How can I make him
think I am the part? How can I
get through this aUve? ' 'Sit down
and read." That's the next ob-
stacle. "Not interpret this line,"
"become this character" or "let
me see you do this," it's just
"READ." It takes a while to
understand this concept, but
the director must know above
all else if this would-be thes-
pian can hear inflections and
follow instructions. That is his
cue, as to the extent to which
this lump of clay can be molded,
and the difficulty of the task
before him. "I learned how to
actually move my lips, tongue
and teeth when speaking. It was
like some weird oral ballet.
Sometimes though, the danc-
ers would trip and there I was,
back to saying 'git' instead of
'get' and 'ah' instead of 'I-ee',
but a few bellows from Dr.
Muto, and constant fear of his
diction stick, rather thick piece
of do welling with a strip of red
fabric at the top, and I soon
began to monitor my diction
much more carefully," said Dale
Thomas, who has been in a num-
ber of productions at AC.

Read, stutter, fidget,
squeak, but readthen look up
and search hiseyesforapproval,
only to hear, "Good, the cast list

continued on pg. 32

31

(contmued from pg 31)

will be up tomorrow, you can
go now." It's over, and you
know that you won't get any
sleep until you see the cast list.
Now comes the real acting- ly-
ing to your comrades about
how it wasn't as bad as you
thought it would be. You then
realize the hard part is yet to
come- THE WAIT!! You leave
and go home trying to keep
busy, telling yourself you prob-
ably wouldn't have time to be
in a play anyway - you know
the rumors of the hard work.
Before you know it, you have
lived the longest night of your
life and morning is still three
hours away! You don't have an
eight o'clock class, but you come
to school early - to study- and
you decide to do it in Butler

"An ego's greatest ex-
ercise is the audition-
ing process where it
Hes in the hands of
someone who has the
power to decide what
ones attitude will be
throughout the quar-
ter or possibly the rest
of their lives."

Greg Toomey

Hall - even though your first
class is in Markert. Now, this
isn't a ploy to check the cast list,
which you know you're not on
anyway. Of course while you're

there you might as well check
the Theatre News bulletin
board, just to see who did get
on. Walk casually by - don't
stop, and glance over your
shoulder as you pass by. Wait!
Was that my name? Still don't
stop- keep going - put your
stuff in the snack bar and come
up with an excuse to walk by
again. A pencil sharpener, must
find a pencil sharpener. This
time walk by slower and when
you are sure your name is there
and you haven't been rejected-
you can stop and bask in the
glory. Maybe someone will
pass- of course you can't look
too surprised. You must bal-
ance your confidence with hu-
mility- WOW! HE LIKES ME!

Oh, those nasty little f our-
letter words! Your mama
warned you never to say them,
but these days there is one little
four-letter word that is uttered
everyday on college campuses
and is never far from people's
minds -AIDS.

Acquired Immune Defi-
ciency Syndrome is what the
AIDS acronym stands for, but
fear and concern are what the
acronym evokes.

The saga of the AIDS vi-
rus haunts the minds of college
students as its mystery contin-
ues. There are so many un-
knowns about the disease and
the mechanisms through which
it is spread that the only cer-
tainty that students do have
about the disease is that they
certainly are confused.

Not only are there ques-
tions regarding how virus is
actually spread, though unsafe
sex, intravenous drug use and
blood transfusion have target
as the primary means, there is
also so much confusion about
who does or who does not have
AIDS because of the prolonged
incubation period of the HIV
virus which causes AIDS. A
person infected with the HIV
virus may not even acquire
AIDS for up to ten years after
being initially infected thus
leaving a great many questions
in the victim's mind and in the
minds of all those whom he is in
contact with.

A survey oi blood
samples from patients at tol-
legf ( linics in the United States
during the 88-89 academic year
found that one in 500 tested
positive fori II V with numbers

steadily increasing as the days
have gone by.

These increasing numbers
have provoked increasing cau-
tion in terms of the dating and
sexual activities of college stu-
dents and Augusta College stu-
dents are no exception.

"It is the primary
concern I have when
even attempting or
considering a long-
term relationship and
as far as routine dat-
ing, a person's past
can make or break their
chance. "

Michael Schepis

An anonymous male
sophomore said, "It doesn't re-
ally affect me because I'm a
Christian. I practice 100% absti-
nence, and even for those who
do use condoms, condoms are
only 80% effective so you are
still putting a 20%- gamble on
your life. 1 think abstinence
should be the primary consider-
ation to protect yourself Uom
AIDS, and if not, definitely use a
condom."

junior Jason Maples feels,
"Ithinkithassignificantly trans-
formed cultural attitudes to-
ward casual sex. We are defi-
nilily learning about the imme-
di.ile consequences of our ac-
tions, but we a re also now forced

to consider the long-term/
long-reaching effects of what
we do. I think we are realizing
that we really haven't matured
in our sexual attitudes, and
AIDS is really causing an
awakening. We have had to
start redefining our principles
and moral values. I think it has
really thrown a monkey-
wrench into the sexual revolu-
tion what we truly value in
our necessity and dependence
on one another. This is just one
major issue that causes us to
think about human fragility;
AIDS crosses racial boundaries
and affects everyone equally.
Instead of finger-pointing,
there should be a great deal
more banding together occur-
ring."

The awareness of AIDS
has steadily increased over the
years and amongst the colle-
giate population as the dis-
ease has spread. There still
exists a great deal of confusion
and fear in 1 992, but with AIDS
Education Campaigns such as
those embarked on by the Bell
Ringer staff and the National
Committee on AIDS aware-
ness, the issue is becoming far
more a matter of caution and
precaution than fear and con-
cern. People like Ryan White
and Magic Johnson have
helped us realize the implica-
tions of AIDS and the strength
and education needed to deal
with the disease. They have
shown us that we have to band
together if we are to combat
thediseaseandtheonly means
of achieving this is through
education and understanding.

When people think
back on their college careers,
it is not their grade point aver-
age that comes to mind, but
rather the various clubs and
organizations they took part
in.

This past year, Au-
gusta College offered numer-
ous activities (40 in all) rang-
ing from fraternities and so-
rorities to intramurals sports
to student publications.

Whether the student's
interest lies in drama, music,
writing or sports, AC offers
something for everyone.

While many students
choose not to get involved,
others actively participate.

"In my opinion, you
are not getting your money's
worth if you come to school,
go to classes, and then drive
home as soon as they are
over," states John Groves, Di-
rector of Student Activities at
AC. In Groves' opinion, stu-
dents who have been involved
in various organizations
learned more than most text-
books could ever teach them.
"Most of the lessons of life are
learned outside of school."
Many active students agreed
with this assessment.

Alyson Creed, a re-
cent graduate of AC, got in-
volved in the Sociology Club
and her fraternity to get to
know people. "Time spent at
AC was a lot less boring when
there was more than just

studying to do."

Besides meeting new
friends, campus activities
hold other advantages as well.

Presently working for
Stout & Company, Creed
hopes that her activities por-
tray her as someone who
wants to get involved and be
active in her new job.

Lisa Larger, a senior
and former homecoming
queen at AC, agreed that get-
ting involved on campus
greatly benefits her career.
"Until you put your skills into
practice, it is important to be
in contact with people who
may help in the future," states
Larger.

of college Hfe, grades should
not be put in jeopardy. "Ac-
tivities should not be done at
the expense of your grades."
adds Groves. While this is
definitely true. Creed believes
her participation made her a
better student. "I had less
time to procrastinate."

At AC, the lack of
participation could be attrib-
uted, in part, to students not
living on campus. In other
colleges, there is more school
spirit because students eat,
sleep and study together. This
fact should not discourage
students but, "students who
don't get involved at AC are
missing out on a lot, "states
Creed.

ri

Philanthropic endeav-
ors seemed to ha\'e been popular
extracurricular activities among
the students at Augusta College.
From working with children with
Multiple Sclerosis to Adopting-
a-highway, many students par-
ticipated in their community and
showed what big hearts they had.

In the case of Pi Kappa
Phi it was a big "bleeding" heart.
They have sponsored blood
drives for the Shepeard's Com-
munity Blood Center for the past
three quarters with their last one
held in March. It collected a
record-breaking 148 units of
blood. Member Jeff Caubb said
that being a part of this charity
made him feel great, "But not
only just because of a personal
feeling you get knowing that you
are helping others, but also it
gives people (AC students and

faculty) a chance to see their fra-
ternities as more than just parties
and kegs."

Being big hearted was
not the only reason for having
participated in a charity. Many
students had more practical pur-
poses. Alysia Barja, a 23 year-old
Communications major, chose to
serve her internship with the
March of Dimes to promote their
Walk-a-Thon, because she said,
"It really incorporated every-
thing I studied as far as my major
is concerned." One of her duties
was enlisting the help of other
students who she said were
happy to volunteer. "They were
very excited and very energetic
about wanting to help out in any
way they could," said Barja

One of those volunteers
was Venecia Chancey, a commu-
nications major, who helped with

the promotion of the Walk-a-
Thon for the March of Dimes. "It
makes me feel good that I'm do-
ing something to help someone
else and at the same time it will
look good on my resume that I
participated in this and also that
it gives me a chance to use my
classroom abilities in a practical
situation. It also gives me a
chance to use my leadership
qualities and to further develop
them."

Some clubs and organi-
zations require themselves to be
involved in charities. For ex-
ample, Zeta Tau Alpha, as a rule,
must participate in some philan-
thropic activity at least once a
month. And there are many other
groups with similar regulations,
but most volunteer out of a sense
of civic duty. Kay Phillips, the
Assistant Director of Student
Activities, said, "I think it re-
flected really well on the school
and I think it said something
about our students too, that they
are responsible citizens and com-
munity-minded, that they are
civic-oriented and want to do
things for others."

The list of charities that
students got involved in seemed
to be as endless as the Chinese
population census. Students
volunteered themselves in a cata-
log of charities that could be
ranged from Toys for Tots to dis-
tributing condoms, or from build-
ing playgrounds for handicapped
kids to picking up trash on a
highway. Whatever the cause,
AC students proved their worth
as valuable members of the com-
munity. In so doing they have
enlarged their hearts and made
them beat stronger.

What do you want to
do for the rest of your life?

This question

prompted the formation of the
Start-Up Center at Augusta
College. The Center is designed
to help freshman and sopho-
more students decide upon a
major.

"It is a statistical fact
nationwide, that students who
do not decide a major by their
junior year are at risk for not
staying in school," said Tim
Bond, one of the Academic
Advisors at the Center.

"All Augusta College
students must declare a major
by the time they have 90 hours
of course credits," Bond said.
"After they reach junior status,
they are not suppose to be at
the center anymore."

Most of the advised

students are freshman. "There is
approximately 500 that are cur-
rently being advised," said Kathy
Thompson, Director of the Start-
up Center.

The Center practices in-
trusive advising. "Not just see-
ing students for class schedules,
but follow them and keep track
of what they are doing," Thomp-
son said.

"During freshman pre-
registration we make sure they
have everything they need and
the orientation staff wears badges
so Start-Up students will know
who to ask for information,"
Thompson said.

The center has begun
two new workshops that link stu-
dents to the basics of deciding a
major. Major Decisions 101 is the
first step in planning a major.
Gallery of Majors is a listing of

all majors offered in each depart-
ment and expected salary ranges.

"The Center issues an
advisory newsletter to the pro-
fessors so they can call us if they
need something," Bond said.
"They have been really support-
ive."

"We didn't know what
to expect, but the program has
worked really well," Bond said.

The Start-Up Center was
organized by the Committee on
Advising and Committee on Re-
tention. It was not officially op-
erating until Fall 1991.

In the past, students
were assigned a departmental
counselor by their last name. The
Start-Up Center gives them a
place to go when they can't an-
swer the big question.

It's 8 a.m. and the dead-
line is only 24 hours away and
we still have 70 pages to go. The
staff is dashing around asking
one another questions such as:
Are the pictures in? Can you
think of a caption? What club is
this? Anyone have a story to fill
these two pages? Will you proof
this for me?

What exactly goes into
making the yearbook a success?
EVERYTHING! Everything
from picking out that awesome
picture which sums up the year
to filling those blank pages with
exciting copy, pictures and cap-
tions and ads.

Being a part of the year-
book staff is innovating and
exciting and hard work all at
the same time. Staff members
must know a yearbook produc-
tion inside out. Everything from
cropping photos and produc-

ing pages with desktop pub-
lishing to time management to
meet deadlines.

The White Columns
traditionally comes out in the
fall, thus exposing activities
such as Homecoming and June
gradation and all the activities
in between. We try to cover the
different clubs and organiza-
tions at Augusta College, the
new classes or sports highlights
and the general student life.
The yearbook also includes a
section entitled community/
mini-mag where subjects of the
local community and the world
are featured.

Trying to identify the
guy in the fourth row may not
matter to just anyone but it does
matter to the yearbook staff.
While most people would say,
"nobody will care if he has a
name", the yearbook staff says,

"We think he'd care." Because
of this staff members will go
out of their way to find his
name and to make sure it is
spelled correctly (usually).

When asked how she
joined the staff, Debi Deeder
said, "I walked in wanting to
take pictures for the yearbook
last year and I ended up doing
the academic section. I enjoy
being on the staff and design-
ing layouts and creating things
on PageMaker." Nilam Patel
added, "Working on the year-
book, has given me the chance
to use my creativity and hope-
fully produce eye-catching lay-
outs. "

The staff shares one
goal, making a difference for
the Augusta College commu-
nity.

Most people are just falling
lut of bed bv the time their alarms
;o off at seven but one group of
tudents have already seen the
unrise - pushing themselves be-
ond reasonable limits in order
3 achieve a goal. Chances are
ou've probably seen them
round campus - clad in their
weatshirts and talking about
nything from the intense morn-
ng practice, the Red Hot Chili
'eppers CD to Impressionism,
he latest flicks or maybe an up-
oming Regatta. Maybe vou'\'e
aken notice of the unusually alert
thlete Ln your earlv morning
lass. Thev are members of the
Augusta College Rowing Team,
he largest club-sport on campus
nd their goal is simple - to be
he best.

The AC. Rowing Team has
ome a long way from the origi-
al group of people rowing for
un. Rebecca Dent, a member of
ast years medal winning var-
ity lightweight four and cox-

swain of the novice lightweight
four reminisces, "We all just
started off this being a fun, dif-
ferent thing to do." She added,
"We didn't know what we were
getting into." In the first year, the
women's crew sent a lightweight
four to Philadelphia to compete
in the Dad Vail Regatta. The Dad
Vail is the largest collegiate crew
event in the U.S. attracting
schools from across the country.
The following year both the men's
and women's crew raced a light-
weight four and a heavyweight
four. In 1991, the entire team
raced on the Schuylkill River with
the men's and women's light
fours advancing to the semi-fi-
nals.

In October 1990, the light-
weight men and women trav-
eled to Boston for the prestigious
Head of the Charles - the largest
of the fall head races.

Aside from the Dad Vail and
the Charles, the team competes
at the Head of the Chatahoochee

during the fall season and in sev-
eral 2000 meter races during the
spring. Since 1990, the Crew has
racked up medals at the Augusta
invitational, Atlanta Rowing Fes-
tival, and the Southern
Intercollegiate Rowing Associa-
tion (SIRA) Championship in
Oakridge, Tennessee.

The 1991-92 season saw the
lossof many varsity oarsmen. In
fact, Rebecca Dent and Kim
Kanavage of last year's varsity
lightweight four are now coxing
the women's novice boats. The
experiences paid off as both the
novice lightweight four, known
as the "pony-boat" and the nov-
ice open four, called the "horse-
boat" won medals early in the
season at the Augusta Invita-
tional Regatta. The men's novice
lightweight four also kicked off a
winning season by winning gold
in Augusta beating larger schools
like Florida Institute of Technol-
ogy and Tulane University. Au-
gusta also raced its first competi-

tive pair, a novice heavyweight
four and a varsity lightweight
four.

Rowing is a very unusual
sport in several ways. The most
noticeable is that oarsmen spend
their time sitting down and mov-
ing backwards. The team also
carries its own oars and boat
unlike baseball or football. There
are no heroes in crew, no Most
Valuable Player and no shot for
individual glory. The oarsman
is simply known by his or her
seat number in the boat and ac-
knowledged collectively as a
pair, a four, or an eight, depend-
ing on the number of people in
the shell.

Training is very strenuous-
rising before the sunrise and row-
ing into the sunset are not un-
common. The team is expected
to run, do weights, and pull erg
pieces. Practices last around two
hours a day, six-days a week.
The actual race consists of 2000
meters and last between 8 to 10

minutes. That may not seem like a
long time but it is what goes on in
those eight minutes that is impor-
tant. Rowers must move together
with accuracy and good technique.
In addition, the crew must fight
both mental and physical fatigue.
Many regattas require you to
qualify for the finals - it is not
uncommon to row two or three
races on a Saturday - not to worry-
the coxswain, the person who
steers boats and calls commands
keeps the team focused and moti-
vated during the race.

To a spectator, rowing may
look easy but everyone had to work
together to "set up" the boat. A
boat leaning either port or star-
board can slow a crew down and
cause an oar to get stuck in the
water making the oarsman "catch
a crab". Possessing raw strength
isn't enough- rowers must have
coordination, balance, and a great
deal of spirit to force their bodies
to move correctly and finish the
race.

There are only two classifica-
tions- lightweight and heavy-
weight. Lightweight for women is
under 130 pounds and under 160
pounds for men. The Heavy-
weight (Known as "Open" for
women) category is anything
above lightweight race.

Making weight is an impor-
tant aspect of rowing as a light-
weight. When Rebecca Dent be-
gan rowing she weighed 132
pounds. Weighing in a 120 pounds
she said, "I've learned to cut back
on red meats, sugars, sweets, and
to watch my fat intake in foods."
She found out about weigh-ins the
first day of the Dad Vail. "We
wrapped ourselves in plastic gar-
bage bags and went for a run. That
removed our excess water weight,"
she said. All made weight. If a
rower fails to make weight, the

entire boat is disqualified un-
less an alternate be substituted
for the overweight offender.
Rowers have two chances to
make weight - the night before
and the morning of race. Shan-
non Shelton of the "ponies" lost
eleven pounds. "The Rowing
Team had given me the motiva-
tion to eat right, to get in shape,
and to stay in shape," she said.
A sensible diet is crucial in
crew. Rowers eat a lot of pasta.
Bagels are also popular crew
cuisine. It is not an uncommon
sight to see the team huddled
together around the trailer ba-
gels and bananas the morning
of a race. The team also likes to
eat together at Vallarta's.

There is more to the Au-
gusta College Crew that just
racing and having a good time.
Because Crew is a club sport at
AC, members are required to
raise money through annual
auctions, erg-a-thons, and ticket
raffles. In addition to money
from Student Activities fees, the
money from these fund-raisers
go toward buying new shells,
oars, cox-boxes, and tools to
keep the boat well-maintained.
"The small investment that the
Student Activities had made
had reaped benefits at least ten-
fold, " said John Groves, Direc-
tor of Student Activities and
rowing enthusiast.

In addition to rowing and
school, most of the team works.
"Practice takes up a lot of my
spare time but in the end, it's
worth it," said Jeff Smith of the
gold medal Novice Lightweight
four. Tony Miller, president of
the team is a busy guy. In addi-
tion to school rowing, and
work, he serves on the Student
Ambassador Board. It's hard
but it makes it worthwhile- it's

a good break from school and
work. Ifyou'rededicatedtocrew,
then you'll find time," he said.

The coaching staff is com-
posed of volunteers committed
to the goal of making AC the
best. P.P. Meehan, a corporate
insurance salesman for Insurance
Services of Augusta and the head
coach explains his involvement,
"It's a good sport with good kids.
They work hard, " adding "You
tend to help those willing to help
themselves." He coached the
novice women's program at prac-
tices starting at 5;45 a.m. and
made sure that any boats need-
ing repairs received them. Matt
Evers, former rower at
Worchestor Polytech Institute
and Men's coach is another one
making a sacrifice. In addition to
weekday practices, Evers spent
Saturday mornings and Sunday
afternoons drilling technique into
the minds of his men. John &
Mary Patterson also help to make
the team successful through ad-
ditional coaching, encourage-
ment, and handy-work in the
boathouse.

"It's been nice to see such a small
program grow from 10 to 30
members in less than 3 years with
one of the strongest novice teams
in the South," said Dan Dent,
member of the original heavy-
weight four and bow-seat of this
year's pair. "The college students,
high school students, and area
businesses are in a highly suc-
cessful venture. Everybody
wins," said Groves. He goes on
to say, "The beautiful thing is
that you have a lot of people
involved who aren't financially
rewarded they're doing it be-
cause they love it. It's obviously
rewarding otherwise they
wouldn't put all those hours into
it. Michael Donehoo

Graduate school en-
rollments at Augusta College
over the past two years have
not been so much a product of
the sluggish economy, but as a
result of other factors. Both
professional trends and new
programs caused most of the
influx. Statistics point out that
80% of AC graduates stay in the
area after completing their
course work. All of the gradu-
ate departments agree that
Augusta is a good job market;
therefore, the school has had
higher total enrollments.

"There are some stu-
dents that come back because
of the poor economy," says Pro-
fessor Holloman of the MBA
program. "The notion that
when the economy is bad, en-
rollment is good, has some
truth," said Holloman. How-
ever, Miyoko Jackson in gradu-
ate admissions of the MBA pro-
grams cites two concrete rea-
sons for more MBA students.
"Nurses now want to pursue
more administrative positions
in part due to the possibility of
contracting A.I.D.S. and also to
have more responsible posi-
tions in a hospital environment
that is becoming increasingly
more business oriented . In 1 989,
enrollment rose 50% because of
Westinghouse coming to the
area. This year graduate en-
rollment will be approximately
70 students in the business
school. In all, enrollment has
been stable since 1983, includ-
ing a male to female ratio of
3:2." Jackson adds that grade

point averages of admitted can-
didates are slightly higher than
last year.

Professor of Psychol-
ogy Harold Moon is very opti-
mistic about AC'S Psychology
Master degree. He too cites the
poor economy as a possible in-
fluence in increased enrollment.
However, for his department
graduate studies have been in-
creasing over the past five
years. "Today, if you want to
make more money, you have to
get a Ph.D. You can't hang out
your shingle as a psychologist
in most states, including Geor-
gia, without a Ph.D. Augusta
College gives local students a
chance to work toward their
Ph.D and stay in Augusta, while
maintaining their jobs and fami-
lies. Many students try to go
from the undergraduate psy-
chology degree to a doctoral
program in the area to assure a
higher paying job, especially in
the government." Moon adds
that the average age of stu-
dents pursuing a Masters de-
gree in psychology in the late
twenties. Many are people who
want a change in career. Nurs-
ing and Business graduates
don't seem to mind the drop in
pay for the personal satisfac-
tion they get from their new
area of study. Helping others in
counseling, mental hospitals
and at VA hospitals, can be
very rewarding. Another ma-
jor reason many students en-
roll in graduate programs is to
boost their grade point aver-
ages and GRE scores to help get

into a good doctoral program.
Professor Joseph
Murphy, Dean of the School of
Education, also cites the com-
plexities affecting the number
of graduate students in the edu-
cation department. "NCATE
accreditation loss hurt us ini-
tially, but we are back up to
previous enrollment figures.
We have new programs such as
counseling, special education
and heath /physical education.
These have helped to broaden
our base for attracting poten-
tial graduate students."
Murphy says that regaining
accreditation will surely be re-
alized. For the past five years
Murphy has seen steady in-
creases in the number of stu-
dents in the Master programs.
People working that have an

undergraduate degree come
back to enhance their earning
potential with a Master. In June,
AC will award its first Master's
degree in Heath and Physical
Education.

All graduate program
spokespersons at Augusta Col-
lege agree that a poor economy
can increase enrollment, how
ever more issues were respon
sible for students deciding to
enroll.

One vision for increas-
ing the number of students in
all programs was expressed by
president Richard S. Wallace
during the fall of 1990. He said,
"I would Uke to see Augusta
College develop along the lines
of William and Mary. It is a
school of quality we can emu-
late."

"You can't wear that!" said
Diane Fennig, Director of the
Career Center at Augusta Col-
lege, to a female student who
had come into the center to inter-
view for an intern program.
"Spandex pants and stiletto
heels- 1 don't think so." The real
key to finding success after col-
lege comes largely through the
students' own efforts.

To start their job search,
students take advantage of the
career planning and placement
activities available at AC. The
Placement Office provides a wide
range of services in which stu-
dents are encouraged to partici-
pate. Some of the services pro-
vided include job placement for
seniors, post-bacs, graduate stu-
dents and alumni; career coun-
seling, resume writing and cri-
tiquing, interviewing techniques
and job search strategies; resume

referrals, part-time and full-time
job postings.

"We're a spring board to
the real world," said Fennig.
"Some people don't want to ask
for help. They think it's beneath
them." Fennig's advice is, "Get
over it! Learn to network!"

Cooperative education pro-
grams are available for quahfied
students (2.5 GPA or better).
"There is a possibility of earning
$15,000 for half a year at Savan-
nah River Site," said Fennig. "SRS
had 650 applicants for their sum-
mer program. Eighty were se-
lected, and eight to 10 of the 80
were AC students."

"Co-op is an invaluable
learning process. Not only do
you acquire actual experience
doing what you only talk about
in class, but you learn to trust in
your own abilities," said Lynn
Brown, Co-op Student - CSRA
Planning Commission and Co-
op Student of the Year.

"I sent resumes every-
where. I couldn't get a job," said
Victoria Jarnagin after graduat-
ing with a BA in History in June,
1991. "1 had an internship with
Historic Augusta my senior year.
I was going to graduate school,
but couldn't afford it without a
job."

Many graduates find il
iiard to get a job after graduation,
and also find it hard to get into
graduate school since there is an
influx of applicants due to the
soft job market. "1 went to get my
eyes examined," Jarnagin said,
"and found they w\:.x^: looking
for someone. I am now working
for that optometrist. 1 have ap-
plied at the Medical College ol
f ;e()rgia,and will work on a BSin
Occupalion.il rhiT,i|->y."

Jarnagin, a l( )ng with other gr.ul 1 1

ates, find themselves having to
go into different fields of work
and study.

I'm looking forward to find-
ing a job," said Elizabeth
Wilkinson, a Senior Education
major. "I've been calling princi-
pals to set up interviews while
doing my student teaching.
Middle school teaching and spe-
cial education are still good fields
to get into." There are 68 people
student teaching from the AC
School of Education.

The AC Career Library in-
cludes literature pertaining to
career information, job-hunting
techniques and strategies, em-
ployers and employment oppor-
tunities, graduate schools, and
current salary scales.

According to the Placement
Office, some of the employers
interested in AC students include
the State of Georgia, Charter Hos-
pital, C&S Bank, Columbia
County Schools, IBM, MCG,
Richmond County Schools,
Robinson-Humphrey, CSRA
Planning Commission,

Greenfield Industries, St. Joseph
Hospital, U. S. Dept. of Energy,
Westinghouse-SRS, University
Hospital, Georgia Power, Fed-
eral Paperboard, and Nutra
Sweet.

"With over three-fouths of
our students working, our Ca-
reer Planning and Placement
Office plays a vital role on cam-
pus. Students may obtain help in
finding temporary, part-time, or
full-time career opportunities
that will allow them togain valu-
able work experience. All stu-
dents should definitely see what
the Placement Office can do for
them," said Mary K. Lisko, Pro-
fessor, AC Scht)ol of Business
Aiiministration.

They say that there is
one constant change. Au-
gusta College is certainly no
stranger to change, with an
always-changing student
body and faculty.

But last year, AC
graduation also underwent
some changes. The August
commencement ceremony
was moved to December,
while the June graduation re-
mained intact, but both
moved to the Augusta Col-
lege Athletic Complex.

"It made much more
sense to do it every two quar-
ters rather than have two
close together," said John
Schaeffer, Professor of Music
and the commencement co-
ordinator. "...For one thing
we were running out of room
at the June graduation."

The new Athletic
Complex was initiated into
the ceremony in December.
It seemed to many as an ideal
place to hold the ceremony.

People weren't disap-
pointed.

"It went remarkably
well," said Schaeffer. "The
biggest problem was park-
ing, but Public Safety took
care of that and did so admi-
rably."

Fred Wharton, Chair
of the Languages and Litera-
ture Department and also in-
volved in the graduation cer-
emony helped with the De-
cember ceremony.

"Things worked very
smoothly in December,"
Wharton said with obvious
excitement. "I was delighted
because things actually went
almost like clockwork. I
thought it was a very good
operation."

But with good things
come bad things.

"There were some
sound problems and I don't
know who solved the prob-
lems, but they've certainly
been solved," said Wharton.
"There was some reverb, but
I don't think that's avoid-
able."

Future graduations
will be held in the Athletic
Complex or, if weather per-
mits, outdoors.

The Athletic Com-
plex is a good location, not
only for graduates and fac-
ulty, but also for friends and
family.

"It will be able to ac-
commodate people in some-
what greater comfort," said
Schaeffer.

The overall feeling
around Augusta College is
that the gym is not only good
for sporting events, but other
activities as well.

"Graduation at the
gym in December went off
with few hitches," stressed
Schaeffer.

So the December
commencement was a big
success, but how does the

later graduation affect the
graduates chance of employ-
ment after their classes are
completed?

"The fact that you
graduate in December does
not affect your status as a
graduate," said Schaeffer.
"Graduation is a formal cer-
emony. A lot of people, for
one reason or another, aren't
able to attend graduation, but
we will certify that they have
completed the graduation re-
quirements as soon as they
have. "

Oh, one more thing
about the gym; what are we
going to call it?

Augusta College
held its June Graduation on
the 13th at 10:00 a.m. in the
college's Physical Education/
Athletic Complex.

Carolynn Reid-
Wallace, the Assistant Secre-
tary of Education for Post-
Secondary Education was the
commencement speaker. Dr.
Reid-Wallace is responsible
for administering the federal
government's higher educa-
tion program.

Approximately 360
candidates graduated in the
college's 67th commencement
exercise, and had the oppor-
tunity to be a part of one of
the most stirring speeches.

Dr. Reid- Wallace
started off the commence-

ment address with questions
that hit home for many Ameri-
cans who are concerned with
the Education standard of the
future: "How do we prepare
the next generation of college
students for the world that
awaits them?" "How do we
handle the ever increasing num-
bers of students who enter col-
lege ill-prepared for the courses
they will be required to take?"
Dr. Reid-Wallace summed
these questions up with the
answer of: standards, which are
the key to preparing the next
generation of students. Accord-
ing to Dr. Reid-Wallace, the
buck stops at higher education.
She encouraged students to re-
alize that education is vitally
important to us.

Above: Graduatesare pictured hereanxiously
a waiting the commencement exercises to be-
gin. As pictured here graduates do many
things to keep themselves occupied during
the exercise.

Ij.fl.Circilyiiii Kiid- Wallace the assisl.inl mi
rctary of education was the speaker for the
67th commencement exercises for Augusta
College. Dr. Reid-Wallace stressed the impor-
tance of the value of education.

September 16, 1991 brought in tl|
first day of classes for Fall quart(
Student Union sponsored a loci
band and "First Class" refreshmenti

SticK lour Neck OMt

A group of 22 Augusta Col-
ge students and staff mem-
> banded together Septem-
er 13-14 and attacked the
)pe course at Camp Gra\'itt,
C.

Their assault was success-
il, and they returned to the
impus from their Leadership
etreat armed with impro\'ed
adership skills and a
newed spirit of teamwork.
"The retreat was for leader-
lip," said Beth Castleberr\', a
ember of Student Union and
~L'Cond-year participant in
c retreat. "It was to help
.'.. leaders establish leader-
lip skills, and those who
i\e established skills to
larpen or better their
.ills."

During the retreat, partici-
ints were required to tra-
-Tse series of rope bridges
ith, and at times without, the
Ip of their teammates. There
L-re also some discussions
,>out leadership and exercises

to help the rope climbers get
to know each other better.

The program is sponsored
by the Office of Student Activ-
ities and is intended to give
student leaders an opportuni-
ty to build a sense of com-
radery and confidence to
bring back to AC.

"What we were thinking
about for the retreat was that
it would he an energizer and a
positi\'e experience for the stu-
dent leaders so that they
would come back ready to
take on the world," said Kay
Phillips, Assistant Director of
Student Activities. "Hopefully
it got them to know us better,
for them to be comfortable
with us, coming to us with
problems or questions."

According to Castleberry,
the experience was rewarding
and valuable lessons came
back with most of those who
attended.

"We had to work as a team.
We had to be dependent on

each other and we had to sup-
port each other. I think that is
what we learned there to
being back to school," she
said.

Brad Poole

"Stick Your Neck Out" was the
theme of the 1991 conference.
Natasha Hendrix, Al Hamilton,
Steve Cain, Mark Baggett, and L, G.
Frey were a handful of students who
worked on leadership skills.

Wait Disney Co-Op

Mickey's calling.

That's right, representatives
from Walt Disney World in
Orlando, Fla. visited Augusta
College on Feb. 5 looking for
recruits to work during the
summer and Fall quarters in
their College Program.

Numerous work areas were

62

available to students: attrac-
tions, tickets, merchandise
and many more with a 2.5
GPA to apply.

Housing for workers dur-
ing the program was provid-
ed at Vista Way, with two and
three bedroom apartments.
Vista Way has racquet ball
and tennis facilities, two
pools, weight room, and hot
tubs. Roomates were found
from around the world.

Tim Bond, a AC alumnus
who took part in the program,
shared an apartment with a
Norwegian and a German. He
worked at Disney from Jan-
uary to May 1990 as a "mer-
chandise host in the gift shop,
stocking and working the
cash register.

Bond received a Ducktorate
degree for "above average
work and attending all the
seminars."

The training in the program

included such as guest ser

Ahcient Artifacts

Black Creek Village is visited by AC Archaeology Minors

\.^^^Ma '(^

Archaeological. This may
conjure up images of Indiana
Jones movies in the minds of
many, but two AC students,
Alison Hurst, a Junior Engi-
neering major and Keith
Rindt, a Senior History
major, experienced the real
thing this past summer. They
spent four weeks discovering
and digging up the past of St.
Catherine's Island, Georgia.
They both are minoring in
Anthropology which is the
field of study that includes
Archaeology. The minor is
offered by the Arts and Sci-
ences Department.

The American Museum of
Natural History in New York
is conducting the search that
will continue off and on for
the next three years. The pur-
pose of the search is to dis-
cover how the Indians lived

before the contact with the
Spanish and perhaps be able
to reconstruct their lifestyle.

"The five sites being exca-
vated," Keith explained,
"were representatives of con-
tact and precontact."

They issued nondestruc-
tive techniques to excavate
the site. This is very tedious
work, according to Hurst, but
it helps to preserve the envi-
ronment and the site for fur-
ther archaeological research.
A magnetometer was used to
detect the magnetic field at
any given place. This enabled
the crews to produce a dot
sensing map that would help
to generate artifacts and the
best site to excavate. One site
known as Black Creek Village
was the principle site that
Hurst and Rindt worked on.

"They were not looking for

anything particular," Hurst
said, "just some structures,
houses or where paths may
have been."

There were seven people
on the site, including Hurst
and Rindt. Because as Rindt
said, "you cannot have too
many people at once" or the
very artifacts that were being
searched for could be
destroyed.

Both students enjoyed their
experience at St. Catherine's
Island. Hurst "learned about
new archaeological tech-
niques," and why those sites
are so important. However,
for Rindt this was a taste of
his career. He hopes to be an
archaeologist someday. This
project enabled him to meet
"a lot of neat people and
learn about remote sensing"
using the magnetometer.

Their four weeks were def
nitely worth it to both of th
students.

Hurst and Rindt had a
opportunity that is quickl
vanishing because archaec
logical sites are becomin
extinct. The crude methods c
excavation in the past and th
uncertainty of public interei'
has eroded the use of a larg
number of sites for archaec
logical study. There was nc
any foresight to preserve th
sites for future research.

That is why the sites th;:
remain are so importan
They enable us to discovt
the lives and lifestyles thii
once existed. The answers \.
many questions about peop
of long ago are buried in tl
soil.

A Look at CoM^ress

L l->JBu=^ - j*^'w^.vu-i^

On Feb. 25 over 30 Augusta
lillege students and faculty
lumbers embarked on a trip
I the State Capitol Building
I Atlanta.

I "Outstanding, very enlight-

ling," said Bill Dunwoody,

fnate Parliamentarian for

Mgusta College SGA. "1

ish we had more time in

e Senate before they

joumed."

After a roll call of bills and
e agenda was announced,
iprescntati ve Donald
leeks from the 89th district
et the group. He and Ccor-
Covemor Zell Miller took
Tie out to pose with the
oup for pictures. Miller was
t available for questions.
Cheeks was cordial, sup-
yjng copies of the agenda

and booklets on parliamen-
tary procedure and taking
time out to answer questions.

Cheeks said the state lot-
tery "is a bad idea because
the money will not go to edu-
cation, and the crime rate will
increase."

Ted Turner, owner of tele-
vision stations CNN, WTBS
and TNT, addressed joint ses-
sion of the State Congress.
Governor Miller presented
him with a proclamation stat-
ing that Feb. 25 was officially
"Ted Turner Day" in Georgia.
Turner's wife, Jane Fonda-
Turner, also appeared.

"Ted and Jane made liie
day," said Julie Dunmire, one
student who attendcti

The house had sixti'iii l)ills
and five resolutions on their

agenda the day of the trip.
House Bill 124, which will
ban toxic heavy metals in the
packaging industry, House
Bill 1170, which will require
inmates to pay for medical
services received while incar-
cerated and House Bill 1400,
which will allow excess state
money to go into a savings
account, were among them.

According to members of
the group, all had a good
time.

"It was interesting," said
Steve Patch, an AC freshman
who attended.

Although they enjoyed vis-
iting the Capitol, Li/.beth
Wheeler and Abby Wood-
ward expressed some doubts
about their representatives.
"We're distressed and dis-

d v ^.- : _

mayed at the lack of female
and minority representa-
tives," said Wheeler.

"How can they call them-
selves representatives?"
asked Woodward.

Bonnie Rousch agreed
when Kritie Germann
assessed the trip. "We really
enjoyed seeing what goes on
behind the scenes," said Ger-
mann. "The ushers gave us
inside information on who
everybody was and what was
going on. Representative
Charles W. Yeargin told us
what it takes to be a politi-
cian: 'Make your fortune first,
and get involved in your
community. Look tor solu-
tions, not problems.' "

Bavihg the F/amt

I'll bet you're wondering
ist exactly where to take
3ur truckload of old beer
ms, right? OK, maybe not.
ut if you are, your pravers
re answered. Recvcling
'eek at Augusta College has
rived.

"There's a big demand
3W," said SGA President Al
mailton. "Everybody is
arth-conscious.' Sum-
;erville is just starting it
ecycling), so Augusta Col-
ge should be a part of it."

And a part of it we are.
tiroughout the week of Sep.
\-T7, e\'ents were scheduled
1 kick off the fall quarter
cycUng push initiated b\' the
jA. Speakers came to the
impus on Monday, Tuesday,
liursday and Friday and a
mtribution competition and

"Can Castle Challenge"

were held September 25.

"You had to ha\'e a certain
number of aluminum cans
(for the Can Castle Challenge)
and were given a certain
amount of time in which to
build your castle. The groups
attempted to build the highest
can castle, and there were
prizes given for that," said
Hamilton.

Prizes included T-Shirts
and plants. The contribution
competition was open to any
campus organization or indi-
vidual who wanted to enter.

In order to ease the difficul-
ty of recycling on campus,
SGA placed receptacles
around the campus for recy-
clable materials.

"We distributed to the
departments seven bins that
we got from the City of
Augusta," said Hamilton.

"And we got Physical Plant to
cut some 55 gallon bins in half
for us and we painted those.
The 55 gallon drums were
placed down in the lobby of
the CAC."

Recycling is not a new idea
at AC, however.

"A couple of years ago
there was an idea to start
recycling, but for some reason
it didn't go through," said
Hamilton. "Then we brought
it back through the Student
Ambassador Board. We
thought it would be a good
opportunity to go ahead with
it since Summerville was
starting their recycling pro-
ject. So far it's worked out real
well, we've got so much sup-
port from the community."

"We're going to be collect-
ing glass, clear glass, plastics,
newspapers, office paper and

aluminum," he said. "The
City of Augusta is going to
pick it up, and they're not
charging us. They take part of
it to Augusta Paper Stock and
the other part to Dixie Recy-
cling. They get the money in
order to pay to operate the
truck."

Hamilton commented that
the program was a service
that the Student Government
was able to provide for stu-
dents.

"We're just give them the
opportunity to bring in their
recycled goods to the campus.
There are a lot of students
who do recycle, and we made
it a lot easier for them. Instead
of going all the way down-
town or saving up 100 pounds
of cans."

Hot, Bern i^ Safer

:i ^:^3fe.l>"

Augusta College students
were treated to an entertaining
and informative glance into
the world of sexual freedom
on October 9, 1991 in the CAC
cafe.

Educator and comedienne
Suzi Landolphi inade AC the
latest stop on her Hot, Sexy
and Safer speaking tour. The
program packages safer sex
education in a style palatable
to college students.

"I thought it was informa-
tive and she was very good,
that she could talk that way to
college students," said junior
Education major Missy Hayes,
"because some people need to
know and be informed of
important issues like AIDS,
but some of the ways that she
went about it were a little
harsh. Augusta College is
such a small school and we're

just kind of a community col-
lege and we're not exposed to
that much."

Exposing college audiences
to sexuality and sexual
responsibility is what the Hot,
Sexy and Safer program
attempts to accomplish.

"This is the year that this is
going to happen," Landolphi
said. "This is the year that the
sexual revolution will start,
because your generation
won't stand for anything
less."

She has been touring college
campuses for three years talk-
ing about sexual freedom and
responsibility, and according
to her, times are changing.

"When I first started to do
this three years ago, they sort
of would invite me there and
then have no follow-up, but
energy from the students after

I left would stay alive for
months."

Now when I go somewhere,
they are constantly saying
'We're having a safer sex
week, not just a day. We're
starting to put condoms in our
bookstores. We're putting con-
doms in vending machines in
the dorms.' So, I'm find-
ing more now that people
are starting to take responsi-
bOity."

Landolphi was hired by
Student Union to speak at the
college, an occurrence Landol-
phi said is becoming more
common.

"It's the students that are
hiring me now, not the admin-
istration," she said. "Not
because the administration
doesn't want to, but because
the students want to."

Landolphi does not talk

about morality in her safer sex
program, instead she speaks
of personal choices and deci-
sions.

"1 am tired of people like
Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swag-
gart," she said. "Think about
their hypocritical behavior.
I'm so tired of people who
don't want us to talk about
sex, and then going out and
doing stuff on the sly."

Landolphi's presentation
marked the beginning of The
Bell Ringer's safer sex pro-,
gram at AC. Safer sex litera-
ture was made available to
students and over 200 con-
doms were distributed. Con-i
doms will remain available in'
The Bell Ringer office, and a;
table will be set up near The^
Bell Ringer office with more,
safer sex literature. [

Kj^de Dogs: No Mercif

They get up at the crack of
awn five days a week,
ruise the empty streets of

iigusta to the Lamar Build-
)g and take the elevator to
le 14th tloor.

When they get there, they
rack their knuckles and,
rter a deep breath, begin to
ing their arrows.

They will attack anyone.

They will spare no one.

Thev will have no mercv.

They are the Rude Dogs.

f you want milk toast and
lundane stuff, listen to the
ther guys," said 96 RXR's
ead Rude Dog Joe Mama,
lilk toast and mundane stuff

ill never come through

your speakers if you tune to
WRXR between 5 and 9 a. m.
on the weekday.

Joe is joined at the mic by
Austin Rhodes, who is a tele-
vision reporter for WRDW in
his other life, and Doug "The
Wolf Boy," whose crow fac-
tor weather reports have
made it possible for fuzzy -
tongued, bleary - eyed rock-
ers to know what to expect
from the day.

Joe Mama came to RXR in
June 1991, Austin came about
a year and a half ago, and
they were joined by Doug in
September 1991. The Rude
Dogs were born.

They get their material

from a combination of net-
works and local humor.
Sonny, of Sonny is Always
Right fame, was just an aver-
age listener until they trans-
formed him into a radio
game show personality. They
don't make excuses for what
they do.

What you hear is what you
get," said Joe.

They have a few words for
those listeners who choose to
tune to a more conventional
morning show.

"There's therapy available
for them," said Doug. "Most
of them are closet listeners,
they just won't admit it."

Joe said the show is often

driven by the listeners. They
get a lot of phone calls. One
caller asked Joe to call her
husband on their anniver-
sary. Joe told the man that
septic truck had dumped a
load of raw sewage into his
car.

Another one hosed by the
Rude Dogs.

So, next time the phone
rings, beware.

You may be next.

OH Cam/^us,

Where do sexually active
and safe sex conscious
Augusta College students get
condoms? During the week
of October 7, 1991 they got
them from The Bell Ringer.

The AC newspaper kicked
off their safe sex campaign
that week by distributing
condoms on campus.

The safe sex campaign,
which was started jointly by
The Bell Ringer and Student
Union and continued indefi-
nitely by The Bell Ringer,
began on Wednesday, Oct-
ober 9. To promote the cam-
paign. The Bell Ringer had a
table, which was set up in the
CAC, where the condoms
and safe sex literature was
given to students at no cost.

"There are over 5, 000 stu-
dents here, a lot of whom are
sexually active," said Brad
Poole, Editor in Chief of the
Bell Ringer. "The Bell Ringer
wants to provide a service to

the students, in addition tc
the news, in order to address
the situation."

A three-part series of arti
cles on safe sex was alsc
planned, according to Poole.

Also on Wednesday, a
Noon, comedienne and edu
cator Susan Landolphi visitec
the campus and spoke in thi
CAC as a part of her Safe Se:
Tour.

The East Central Georgi,
AIDS Project Office providec,
condoms. According to Lind.
Thomas of that office, "Ii
our 13-county district
which includes Richmond
Columbia, Burke, and Me
Duffie counties, there hav
been 233 reported cases o
Aids. 5, 369 cases have bee
reported in Georgia, and th
number of cases reportei
nationally is 186, 895." Thesi
figures were as of Septembej
1,1991. I

Camp Pises Now

The recent rise in crime in
le Augusta area has Augus-
i College Public Safety offi-
;rs concerned about student
id facult\- safety on campus,
rcording to Public Safety
"irector Kenneth Jones.

"During times of class
langes, we keep an officer
arked in a patrol car
atween the academic build-
igs and the hbrar\-," he said.

College campuses and
Jier institutions that receive
deral money are required to
jllect crime statistics and
port this information to the
31 annually. This is required
. the Campus Crime Aware-
css and Campus Security
ct of 1990.

"We are in compliance with

the act. In fact, we publish
our statistics quarterly," said
Jones.

According to the report,
AC crimes filed with the FBI
were down 20 percent in the
1990-91 fiscal year. Anyone
may obtain copies of the
report from any college in the
nation.

Colleges and Universities
will have to expand the
reporting of campus crimes if
current legislation is passed
and signed.

HB 1296, which would
change criminal reporting to
include off-campus crimes
against students, passed the
state House of Representa-
tives without opposition. It
now heads to the Senate.

The legislation is in
response to a campaign by
Safe Campuses Now, an
Athens-based organization
seeking to boost crime aware-
ness among students.

Federal law already
requires the open reporting of
campus crime, but critics con-
tend that statistics are mis-
leading because they fail to
account for off-campus
crimes.

Before attending a college,
especially one that is not in
your hometown, it would be
a good idea to ask the Regis-
trar or the Public Safety office
of that school to send you a
copy of their report, accord-
ing to Jones.

In the spring of 1991, AC

Public Safety began publish-
ing "The Jaguar Jurisdiction."

This newsletter is pub-
lished four times a year to
inform students and faculty
about crime on the main and
Forest Hills campuses.

The Jaguar Jurisdiction and
other crime prevention infor-
mation can be found at vari-
ous locations around campus.

AC Public Safety is work-
ing directly with the Augusta
Police Department's Public
Relations officer, Mark
Cowan.

"We are working on receiv-
ing computerized crime
statistics of the four block
area surrounding the cam-
pus," said Jones.

Financial Aid Impro ves

Lines in the Augusta Col-
lege Financial Aid office could
be shorter in the future, if new
Financial Aid Director Kevin
G. WeUwood has his way.

Wellwood hopes to cut wait-
ing time in his office during
times other than registration.

"I don't see why a student
should have to wait 20 min-
utes on a normal day," said the
29-year-old director. During
registration, he said, lines are
expected.

Wellwood took the helm of
the AC Financial Aid office on
December 9, 1991 after the for-
mer Director, James R.
Stallings, resigned from the
position to accept a teaching
job in the Department of
Developmental Studies.

He came to AC from Liberty
University in Virginia, where
he served as the Assistant
Director of Financial Aid for

tliree and one-half years.

He is aware of some of the
problems with the AC Finan-
cial Aid office and wants to
rebuild a good relationship
with students.

"There have been problems
in the past with the reputa-
tion," he said. "I'm certainly
aware of that. We just want to
start new and let the students
know we're here as a service
for them."

He said improving efficien-
cy and productivity in the
office are among his main
goals. He hopes to do that by
shifting some of the workloads
to allow staff members to bet-
ter serve the needs of the stu-
dents and by providing more
professional development for
the staff. He hopes to send
staff members to two or three
conferences this year, he said.
He is also looking at the posi-

tive aspects of the Financial
Aid office.

"The number-one strength
we have is a great staff," he
said. "They're willing to do
whatever is necessary to get
the job done."

He said that he plans to
increase the automation in the
office by purchasing more
computer equipment. This will
allow staff members to look
up information more quickly
and drastically improve effi-
ciency and productivity, he
said.

Wellwood served four years
in the U. S. Air Force as an
accounting specialist and
earned his Master's degree in
Business Administration from
Liberty University in Virginia
in 1989.

During his college years he
had some contact with finan-
cial aid offices. He received

Pell grants, scholarships, and ai
school loan.

Some difficulties he encoun
tered when he appUed for thei
loan gave him an understand-
ing for his clients' problems
he said.

"As a former student, I car
see where the student is com-
ing from," he said. "When yoi.
want something processed
you want it processed today;
not next month."

The role of the AC Finanda
Aid office is to connect stu '
dents with federal aid dollars,
he said. ;

In the future the office ma)
be able to maintain data base:
of available scholarships t(.
help students gain access tc
financial aid provided fron
private sources, but that is no
in the immediate future. Well
wood said.

Imagine living for five
weeks in a foreign household
where no one else under-
stands English.

To many foreign language
students, such a scenario may
sound like a nightmare, but a
group of AC Spanish students
wouldn't trade the experience
for the world.

Last summer, Spanish Pro-
fessor Jana Sandarg shepherd-
ed 33 students to Mexico for
six weeks as part of the Inter-
national Intercultural Studies
Program to study the Spanish
language and culture in a
native setting. Program partic-
ipants from AC were Kristin
Askin, Susan Dray, Chris
Roberts, Shannon Shelton, and
Webb Smith.

The trip is one which some
of the students say they will
never forget.

you cannot buy with money,"
said Shelton, an English major
who made the trip to complete
foreign language require-
ments. "It made me appreciate
life here and admire others for
their life."

"The people were so laid
back," Shelton said. "At the
university, if you didn't get a
paper in on time, you could
turn it in later ... We did every-
thing on Mexican time." The
people down there would
stop and take a break whenev-
er they wanted.

Shelton also said her Mexi-
can family expressed concern
for her throughout her stay
with them. "They treated me
like a guest would be treated. I
didn't have to clean house,
and the Mexican mother cared
for me when 1 was sick. They
were good-hearted people,
people just like us."

Smith believes he also
learned not to take for granted
the conveniences of life in
America. "You have to con-
stantly be careful in Mexico.
You have to watch the water
all the time. Even in the show-
er I had to be careful not to
drink it."

The students also traveled
across the country when they
weren't attending class. They
visited tourist attractions such
as Puerto Vallarta and Cancun
as well as museums and even
a tequila factory.

"I learned a lot you can't
really get from books or slides
or pictures," Shelton said. "It
was really a great experience."

Smith said he also learned
an important lesson in Mexico.
"Humans aren't that different.
You learn when you're
exposed to different cultures
that discriminating against

others because of their Ian-,
guage is absurd."

Professor Sandarg believes
this new perspective is one of
the most important lessons
that student learn during their
studies in foreign lands.

"I think it gives them a new
sense of what it means to be
American," Professor Sandarg
said. "Most people would be
surprised to find out how
wonderful and nice the Mexi'
can people are. Unless we see
how the rest of the world
lives, we can't have a sense of
identity to compare ourselves
with other people."

Professor Sandarg said AC
students can study abroad
through a variety of progranis
in a variety of disciplines. Stu
dents can choose to study in
any of several countries
around the world.

Augusta College was
grouped with Columbia Uni-

team 1, and Princeton Univer-
sity team 2 in the first round of
this year's tournament. The
Jaguars easily won their group
by posting 8-0 victories over all
three teams. In the quarterfi-
nals, AC squared off against
Columbia again and recorded
another 8-0 win. Yale Universi-
ty faced the Jaguars in the
semifinals and managed to
take one match in an 8-1 loss.
The men carried their momen-
tum into the finals against
Princeton 1 and brought home
the 1992 Championship with
an 8-1 victory.

The AC team has three fresh-
men: Anthony Cooper, Oscar
Melvin, and Brian Pace.
Upperclassmen are Anurag
Agnihotri, Keith Hagood, and
Ty Hoff. Hoff hopes to contin-
ue the winning tradition by
returning 5 players and bring-
ing in two new international
players. The No. 1 and No. 8
players in Pakistan are expect-
ed to join the squad in Septem-
ber.

"We just want to keep string-
ing on as many (champi-

bigger and better," Hoff said
modestly.

For many freshman, the difference
between high school and college is
that students wonder if the profes-
,ors realize that they have two other classes too.
The syllabus shows a schedule packed so tightly
\ ith readings, papers, and midterms that they
\ onder when the "work" will give them a break
"play".

I Upperclassmen realize the extra hours at
he lab or in front of the computer means a better
rade and the trade-off is worth it. Students
on't seem to mind reading six chapters for next
vcek's lecture and doing the extra research that
oes into group projects for a good grade. After
II. this is what makes college life different.

An English 101 writing group dis-
cusses revision possibilities with

talking with each other about their
own writing in terms of strengths,

ENGLISH 101

If you ask students at Augusta
College taking English 101 what they think
about the class, you are likely to hear them
say, "It is different." Unlike large general
education lecture classes, English 101 is
limited to twenty-five students, a size that
contributes to the ease of interaction in the
classroom and a greater opportunity for
active participation. Since instructors
emphasize multiple-draft revisions, stu-
dents have a chance to discuss their drafts
with their peers and instructor, edit the
draft and learn from their mistakes. There
is not just teacher-student talk, but a good
deal of student-student talk about writing
and writing problems. Students are able to
read each other's work and receive feed-
back from their classmates on what they
have written. In an effort to motivate
student writers, outstanding essays are
entered in a publication contest called
"Choice Voice" which publishes the best
essays written by JTcshman linglish stu-
dents each cjuartcr. Choice Voice essays

appear in both hard copy and on the AC
computer network.

In essence, English 101 classes con-
sist of computers, collaboration, and pub-
lication. According to Professor Paul
Sladky, Director of Freshman Composi-
tion, "English 101 stresses writing as a way
for students to get in touch with their own
language and then use that language in
their intellectual explorations. We try to
stress writing as a means of learning as
well as a means of communicating what's
learned. In the process students become
sharper in both thought and expression."
Professor Sladky also notes that, "The pre-
vailing wisdom is that writing is not taught;
it's learned. And the best way for that to
happen is for students to both write a lot
and talk a lot about what they have writ-
ten." Active participation in the classroom
helps students write and think with greater
clarity, which are the primary objectives of
linglish 101.

BIOLOGY 101

"Do I really have to touch this
frog?" is a question most frequently asked
during a Biology 101 lab according to Dr.
Judith Elaine Gordon.

Dissecting the frog is one of the
major events of the class. Although some
students despise the cold frog, others can't
wait to use their dissecting kit. "It's a half
and half situation," says Dr. Gordon. "Stu-
dents either love the frog or hate it."

Biology 101 students should not
be afraid of reading either. Dr. Gordon
emphazises that the text book is a very
important learning tool. "A lot of students
give me a look of disbelief when I tell them
to spend two hours of studying for each
hour in class." To encourage the students

to read their text books. Dr. Gordon has
weekly "drill sessions" in which she ques-
tions her "victims" about the covered ma-
terial in the book. Although most of the
students fear these "drill session" at the
start of the quarter, the class evaluation
sheets indicate that 65% of the student find
them very helpful.

Biology 101 is a general Biology
course. Together with the sequel. Biology
102, it touches all the fields in Biology
lightly, from the complex chemistry in-
volved in photosynthesis to the interesting
topic of human anatomy and physiology.
Biology 101 is a lesson in LIFE in every
sense of the word.

MUSIC 171

Is it possible to receive college credit,
have fun, and learn all at the same time?
Yes it is, and fifty students who are mem-
bers of the Augusta College Concert Choir
(MUS 171 A), under the direction of Dr.
Linda Banister, do just that.

Before the first song is sung Dr.
Banister warms-up the group's voices
through vocal exercises, the same way an
athlete would stretch before attempting to
run the 10k. Following this, the music,
ranging from the Renaissance to that of the
Twentieth Century, is ready to be rehearsed.
According to Vicky Mitchell, a voice major,
the variety of music makes choir interest-
ing. "I've been exposed to music that I'd
never been exposed to before."

Even though voice majors are re-
quired to be in choir, many non-music
majors sign up for the pure enjoyment of
singing, giving them an outlet for creative

expression. One such student, Ron Sher-
rod, has enjoyed the experience and ex-
plains that he "believes that all students
will have a greater admiration of Augusta
College if they participate in the various
social organizations and not just bury them-
selves in books."

So what's so special about a class
that sings? "The esprit-de-corps is really
important as is universal acceptance to
personal development," said Dr. Banister.
Unlike some subjects where each student
performs individually, the choir's strategy
is to work as a team giving no regard to
one's race, sex, or color but instead striving
to have the perfect blend of voices to create
their common goal: beautiful music. Erin
Thomas sums it up, "If students are look-
ing for a place to 'belong' at Augusta Col-
lege the choir is a great place to be."

ART 431

When people think of drawing
class, some may only visualize a still life or
a figure in the center of a room surrounded
by students with a pencil and drawing pad
in hand . Well, they would only be partially
correct in their assumptions.

Although the pencil is thought of
as the most common drawing tool, there is
a broader range of media that can be used.
In our drawing class we used many tools
for drawing including pencil, pen & ink,
charcoal, pastel, conte crayon, collage and
even the eraser.

Through the instructor we learned
to use all media with the manipulation of
different techniques and ideas. Through
experiment we learned about relationships
between different types of paper and me-
dia. This relationship is important to know
before beginning a drawing project so that
the artist may get his or her desired results.
Learning to manipulate a chosen media to
obtain the exact results that one wants is, in
essence, learning to draw. If an artist can
control his or her medium and get exactly
what he or she wants from it, then their
efforts in the learning process are success-
ful.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy to
learn these things, but the mistakes made

in the process are good lessons in them-
selves (and can sometimes be nice sur-
prises).

As a Drawing IV art student, I am
still learning how to successfully use dif-
ferent types of media to achieve my de-
sired results. Drawing has always been
my first love among all other types of art.
My favorite drawing medium is the pencil,
although I do use other types of media. In
drawing I do not think that the learning
process ever ends - not with media, tech-
niques or style. There is always something
new to try... something new to discover.

Daniel Finch - "India ink is my
favorite medium in class, you can get the
blackest black you can get and it's very
powerful, but you are still able to get de-
tail. Drawing is my favorite thing to do.
This class pushes you to try new things.
Things you would not do on your own.

Amy Beaudoin - "I enjoy the cre-
ative process and working with my hands.
I appreciate all media because they each
have something to contribute to my ideas
and my ideas sometimes contribute to the
media. I love it when a medium seems to
have a life of its own... It's a nice surprise."

FINANCE 210

How many of us carefully read all
of the paperwork associated with our car
loans? How many of us understand it if we
do? Probably not many.

Augusta College students taking
FIN 210, a course in personal finance, how-
ever, will have the opportunity to learn
what they need to know to not only borrow
wisely, but also to plan for retirement, buy
a home, cope with taxes or invest in the
stock market.

"The course in designed to make
sure that students will learn about all of the
variety of financial needs that they are
going to have," said Mary K. Lisko, Direc-
tor of Student Advising and support for
the School of Business Administration. "A
lot of students have faced financial situa-
tions before they come here, but a lot of the
younger students have not bought a house
or borrowed money, or thought about in-
vesting in the stock market."

The course evolved out of a 400-
levcl course intend not just for business
majors. No prerequisites are required for
the class, and non-business majors are en-

couraged enroll.

"There's not a lot of theory behind
it. I think it's a very practical course de-
signed to give a little taste of all the differ-
ent things," said Professor Lisko. "It's
designed to be an all-purpose course to
teach the students a little bit about a lot of
different things that they need to know in
terms of finance and financial planning."

Although two sections of the class
were to be offered for fall quarter, enroll-
ment was not what the School of Business
Administration would have liked.

"We did not have a lot of response.
We have not had heavy enrollment in the
class, but we're pleased that we have had
faculty available to teach it despite rather
limited enrollment, and we think it will
build as word gets around that it is a very
practical and useful elective that students
can take," said Professor Lisko.

"It think it would be nice if it were
required of everyone. Any student would
find very useful and practical information
in Ihe class."

NURSING 203

Although nursing students
have different opinions on their pro-
spective career, they all agree that a
career in nursing is certainly not bor-
ing. There are many different job set-
tings a nurse can choose to work in. A
few of these are community heath cen-
ters, occupational heath, and hospi-
tals. Judy Wilkerson, a student in Nurs-
ing 203, will never forget taking 7:00
a.m. vital signs on a patient that did not
have any the patient was deceased.

The students are glad they can
practice on dummies first. For patients
would definitely not want to undergo,
what some students do to these poor
dummies. One of the most memorable
experiences for students in the skills

lab, according to Annie Chaffee, is "to
discover the dummies have inter-
changeable sexual parts."

Nursing students choose the
nursing field for various reasons. Nurs-
ing is a major that enjoys the personal
satisfaction one receives from helping
others. Another reason for choosing
the nursing profession could be job
security. Petra Strako can not even
remember the reason for choosing this
field of hard work. She even states, "1
must have been suffering from tempo-
rary insanity." The best advice for an
upcoming nursing student given by
the experts, nursing students them-
selves, is to STUDY! STUDY! STUDY!

HISTORY 212

The "haunted pillar" and "Fanning
Hall" of Augusta are just two examples of
the many unknown details that Dr. Cashin's
students learn in History 211 and 212.

Dr. Cashin not only brings the
facts to class, but also the attitude that the
news of yesterday affects the decisions of
today. The whole principle behind it is that
history repeats itself. So a successful way
in making decisions for our generation is
to study our past. Donnie Fetter stated, "1
am a firm believer that history repeats
itself just thought different circumstances
and different people. By studying history,
we can learn from our past mistakes & try
not to repeat the same error.

Dr. Cashin also brings enthusiasm
and excitement to HIS 211 and HIS 212,
allowing the students who were dreading
this part of the core, to actually find the
class exciting and eye-opening. Students
who have completed the class left with a
different feeling toward the study of His-
tory. Dr. Cashin brings it alive to our world
and today. "And he certainly did for this
student. So much, that I changed my ma-
jor," stated Kathryn Kimberly.

And well, as far as the meaning of
the "haunted pillar"-take the class. It is a
class about the past and the present.

Computer Science is one of the
more diverse majors offered at Au-
gusta College. Not only does it require
competence in mathematics logic and
computing systems in general, a suc-
cessful student will also possess ana-
lytical skills and be somewhat creative.

The diversity of the program is
also reflected in its students who come
from all walks of life. Many are tradi-
tional students, but just as many are
not. Dr. Petit, Chairman of the Depart-
ment of Mathematics and Computer
Science, explains that half are full-time
students, one fourth are part-time, and
that one fourth attend evening classes
only.

Regardless of a student's sta-
tus, most agree that the computer sci-
ence curriculum, which is based in
theory and mathematics, is rigorous.
Departmental statistics support the stu-
dents opinions; Dr. Petit further ex-
plained that while 180 AC students are
declared Computer Science majors,
only 20 or so graduate each year. He is

excited though because total enroll-
ment in the program is increasing and
this year's graduating class is slightly
larger than usual.

The curriculum, which empha-
sizes computer programming, archi-
tecture and software development, is
designed to prepare students for ca-
reers in the computer industry or
graduate studies. Most agree that their
work will pay off in the end. "I'm glad
I chose computer science," reports
Morgan Whaley, a graduating Senior.
"I'm looking forward to a challenging
and rewarding career!"

Data structures and symbolic
logic are consistently the most difficult
courses and students quickly adjust to
pulling all-nighters in Hardy Hall. The
rigors of the program and the
department's relatively small size com-
bine to foster a bonding which bridges
most any gap age, race, or gender
and yields a true sense of camaraderie
among computer science students. This
is what they will miss most.

"A sill, a flow, a laccolith, have
no significance to the majority of col-
lege students unless of course you are
in Professor Joe Breur's Geology 101
class.

Despite the field trips to Hagges
Rock and the cemetery lots, "most stu-
dents do not enjoy the rock identifying
porfion of the class," says Professor
Breur. Most find the fossil section is
more to their liking.

Although most students feel
they are well rounded, Mr. Breur points
out "the broad knowledge of the sci-
ences and the history of the earth which

this class offers is beneficial.

Larry Alexander, Jr, a junior at
August College, remarked, "due to the
knowledge learned in Mr. Breur's class,
I no longer take my environment for
granted. I view my surroundings with
an intelligent eye appreciating the earth
for more than just it's aesthetic value."

Geology 101 and 102 can sat-
isfy ten hours of credit under area II of
the core curriculum. The majority of
students who take geology are weak in
math and science. However the ben-
efits this class offers is great for all
students.

f^'f he clubs and organizations at Augusta
I College made differences throughout
f .-. the community. Activities such as col-
lecting toys for the Salvation Army during the
holidays and quarterly Blood Drives for the
Shepard Community Blood Center allowed the
area to see the philinthropic nature of the cam-
pus and its students.

New clubs hit the AC scene this year;
clubs such as Black Student Union, Campus
Outreach and Higher Taste gave students more
opportunities to get involved. With the wide
variety of groups offered, everyone should be
able to find an activity to suit their individual
tastes. But it's the club members that were
making the difference this year. Their dedica-
:ion to a club is what makes the campus a
success. It's their work and caring that makes
a difference.

One bright Saturday
morning, I woke up early (8:00
A.M.- yes, that's early, for a
Saturday). I gulped down my
usual eye-opening cup of cof-
fee, telephoned one of my fel-
low Newman Club members to
make sure she was awake
(which she wasn't), and threw
myself in the shower for my
morning absolutions. By 8:45, 1
was on the road in my '74 Ply-
mouth wagon, the wind blow-
ing at me through the open win-
dow, singing in-tune on my way
to make the world a little better
place for a family I'd never be-
fore set eyes on in my life.

I arrived at the Habitat
for Humanity site in Augusta
around 9:00, ready to begin any
task they set before me. Con-
sidering my total lack of expe-
rience and knowledge of the
construction business, I was
sure this would be as simple
and menial as loading some
wood, fetching a hammer, or
handing someone the right-
sized nails, a preconcieved no-
tion which was quickly and
swiftly disposed of, never again
to return. 1 met up with Lori,
Wendy, Andrew, and Jesse,
other Newman Club members
who were helping out that
morning, and we all went
searching for someone in need
of some extra hands.

What we found was
work, hard work, and plenty of
it. We also, to our delight and
suprise, found the lady who
would be living in the house

after it was finished. She wa^
putting the base coat of paint
on one of the window sills andi
looking as pleased and proud,
as if she were already living inj
her soon-to-be new house. We;
introduced ourselves to her and
she returned the gesture, in
forming us that her name was
Lilly, and that she and her chil-
dren were scheduled to move
in within a few months. Since
she couldn't, on her income,!
afford to buy a regularly priced
house and support her children,;
too, she was reviewed for this;
house, met the criteria, and now
is able to buy the house for only
as much as the materials cost
(as all of the labor is volun-
teered). She invited us to help;
her with the windows, which
we were happy to do, though!
shghtly skeptical of our abili-l
ties. That turned out to be the
first of many jobs the Newmar!
Club members did that day.
Before we left, we had climbed
up onto a roof to nail in shingles
cut and nailed up styrofoarr
insulation, measured, cut, and
installed siding, and met nu-
merous people, ages 6 to 70, al
of whom were very nice and
seemed happy for the opportu-
nity to be doing their part tc
reduce homelessness in the cit)
of Augusta. Knowing that ir
some small way, we had made
a difference to Lilly, to her famil
and in a sense, to all of human-
ity.

In the early part of 1990,
the AC Euclidean Society was in
the process of re-establishing its
presence on campus. The mem-
bership was small but devoted and
anxious to make the organization
a success once again. A year later
the club had achieved many of its
goals and was looking ahead to
another year of activities and learn-
ing. The members were proud of
their accompUshments and wanted
to come up with something that
would make others stand up and
take notice of the Euclidean Soci-
ety. And we have; participating in
Homecoming, volunteering our
skills and time, sponsoring guest
lectures, and just plain having fun.

One of our most success-
ful projects was the club t-shirt. It
has served to bring the members
closer together and has been a
source of profit. The idea of a club
t-shirt came up at one of the meet-
ings and that idea was quickly
voted in as a project for the Euclid-
ean Society to undertake. Sugges-
tions for themes and slogans came
from members and faculty alike
and many a meeting was spent
brainstorming and voting on ideas.
It seemed as though once the club
had decided on a concept, a better
one would come along; the deci-
sion process was indeed a long
one. Then THE slogan rolled off
someone's tongue and immedi-
ately the group responded. After
months of thought, decision mak-
ing, and fund raising the Euchd-
ean Society was finally going to
have a t-shirt! The t-shirt has given
us great publicity on and off cam-
pus. Oh yea, the slogan... MATH-
EMATICIANS DON'T JUST DO
IT... THEY PROVE IT!

We prove it in everything
we undertake. The Euclidean So-
ciety believes in working hard, and
playing hard, not to over quote
shoe commercials, but "life is toe
short, play hard." Every year we
sponsor guest lectures, and dur-
ing this past year we featured Deda
Xeng, a graduate student at
Clemson University, and Dr. Rob
ert Jamerson, professor of Math
ematics at Clemson University. The
purpose of the lectures is to expos
students to recent research in mathi
ematics. We also try to expose stU'
dents to the different fields of math
ematics available.

Teaching is the goal o
most of our members, and they ar
given the chance to experienc(
teaching first hand and get to know
what teaching is really hke Iron
the professors themselves. Everj
quarter the Euchdean Society holds
MAT 107 help sessions, which ar
normally scheduled a few dayi
prior to the final exam. Many stu
dents bring their old tests and note
and take this great opportunity tc
put the pieces together. Also, foi
the past two years the Euclidear
Society has helped with the math
contest sponsored by AC for thf
area high schools. Last year we
submitted questions for the vari-
ous stages of the competition anc
helped to keep score. But this i;
only one side of teaching, we havf
a wonderful relationship with thi
faculty of the mathematics depart
ment.

We are a wild, caring, in
tellectual bunch who enjoy meet
ing others interested in mathemat
ics. The Euclidean society is defi
nitely a club to be noticed!

EMOTIONAL

Jags fall short in finals, but had a great season.

The Augusta College
men's basketball team went
into the 91-92 season with
high expectations, from both
the coaches, the players, and
the media. This Jaguar team
was only losing one player
and was returning the
school's all-time points
leader, Keenan Mann, and
the school's all-time block
leader, Derek Stewart. This
Jaguar team had competed
on the Division I level against
the likes of Florida, South
Carolina, Georgia Tech, Min-
nesota, and several others,
not to mention the tough Big
South Conference competi-
tion. The 91-92 season was
the first season for the Jag-
uar athletic program back
down on the Division II level,
in the newly formed Peach
Belt Conference. One basket-
ball magazine ranked the
Jags 16th in a preseason poll
for Division II schools. The

Jags were expected to domi-
nate their new found com-
petition, but this was not the
case.

Although the Jags
dicin't run out to an
undefeated season like many
had hoped for, they did fin-
ish the season for the first
time since 1981 with a win-
ning record, at 17-11. The
Jags posted some impressive
wins throughout the season
including three wins over na-
tionally ranked teams. The
first came against
Fayetteville St., #2 in the na-
tion, with a 86-83 victory.
Later in the season, the Jags
toppled the defending na-
tional champions. North Ala-
bama, #10 in the country,
with a 77-64 victory. Two
days later the Jags upset the
#14 ranked team in the na-
tion with 66-64 win. The Jags
also posted a two-point vic-
tory over Paine College, 61-

59, in the Augusta City Clas
sic, in front of nearly 4,00(
fans. The Jags wrapped uf
their season with a disap
pointing first round loss ii
the Peach Belt Conference
Tournament to Georgia Col
lege, 79-87.

The team's overal
performance for the seasoi
was highlighted by two, first
team All-Conference selec
tions, and one, second-tean
All-Conference selection
The first two were to no one'
surprise, Keenan Mann (16.:
points per game, 7.6 re
bounds per game) and De
rek Stewart (15.5 points pe
game, 6.6 rebounds pe
game). This year was the las
season for Keenan Manr
who has been the center o
AC basketball for four year |
and will leave behind hir^ i
an era of excellence, as we!
as the school's all-time scoi
ing record.

"The major difference between

UNFORGETTABLE

Lady Jags Clench Title In An Outstanding Season

The Augusta College

.adv Jaguars basketball

earn jumped from medioc-

::. in the Big South Confer-

:e la'it year to being a

A'er iiouse this season in

- Peach Belt Conference.

-t vear the Ladv Jags fin-
- -d with a 11-18 record,

i won the first ever Peach
Jelt Conference. This sea-
on the Lady Jags finished
ied for first in the Peach Belt,
vith a 23-6 record, and won
he first ever Peach Belt Con-
erence championship. No-
>ody was expecting the tre-
nendous success that the
ady Jags experienced this
eason especially after los-
ig several key players. The
2Cond leading scorer in Big
outh history, Debbie Born,
nd the conference leader in
ebounding, Gladys Burke
'ould both be missing from
(he 92 team, but the team

me together as a whole

and rose to the occasion to
led the team to one of its best
seasons.

The Lady Jag's sea-
son was filled with excite-
ment and surprise, with the
team racking up a thirteen
game win streak covering
most of the conference
games. They finished 14-2 in
the conference, striking a
fearful note in women's bas-
ketball in the Peach Belt for
the upcoming season. The
Lady Jags also had three
overtime games this season,
one of which was an emo-
tional loss to Paine College
in the Augusta City Classic.
The Lady Jags blew-out
Georgia College in the con-
ference tournament finals,
64-46, to get revenge from
an earlier regular season loss
to the Lady Colonials. Tracy
Strange won the Tourna-
ment MVP, and Kay Sand-
ers and Angle Long made

the All-Tournament team.
Strange (15.3 points per
game, 5.4 rebounds per
game) and Sanders (12.1
points per game, 11.6 re-
bounds per game) were also
named to the second team
All-Conference along with
Robin Edwards (10.3 points
per game, 6.8 assists per
game).

Coach Lowell

Barnhart was named the
Peach Belt Conference coach
of the year for his outstand-
ing accomplishments with
the Lady Jags in coaching
them to his best season at
Augusta College, the Dick
Wallace award, named after
the former president Dr. Ri-
chard Wallace. Of the sea-
son Barnhart noted, "Its one
of the highlights of my ca-
reer." Coach Barnhart also
coached the soccer team this
past season.

MOTIVATION

The soccer team pushed for the Big South title

The Augusta College
soccer team had a rough time
getting out of the gates this
season, starting off with only
one win in their first ten games
of the season. The Jaguars
then realized the season had
tarted and rebounded to win
iix games and a tie against
anly two losers, finishing out
the season with a 7-11-1
ecord. The Jaguars finished
Peach Belt Conference play
Aith a 4-3 record.

The Jaguars season
opening 1-9 record did not
eflect the wealth of talented
Diayers on the Jaguar squad,
nstead the opening record
ihows the result of a lot of
lard luck, some injuries, and
1 lack of unity. Of those first

nine losses, two of them were
in overtime and two of them
were decided by just one goals
difference. After the Jaguars
started playing up to their
potential, they really poured
it on a few teams. The Jag-
uars ended their losing streak
with a 6-0 demolition of Peach
Belt rival USC-Aiken. Au-
gusta College scoring leader,
Ken Dawson, had two goals
in the game. The Jaguars
continued their scoring binge
a few games later with a de-
cisive 4-1 victory over St.
Leo. After a 2-0 shutout of
conference foe Francis
Marion, the Jaguars throttled
Columbus College, 9-1, in
their final regular season
matchup. With the end of the

season outburst, the Jaguars
finished the season in third
place in the Peach Belt. After
advancing through the first
of the playoffs, the Jags lost
in the second round, 3-0, to
USC-Spartanburg .

The Jaguars placed
three players on the All-Con-
ference team and two of them
also made the all-tournament
team. Ken Dawson, all-time
leading scorer (48) and points
leader (128) was named to
his third all-conference team.
Danny Kight was also named
to both the all-conference and
all-tournament teams and fin-
ishing off the awards was
Philip Dembure who made
the all-conference team as
well.

DETERMINATION

Lady Jags fought hard to improve their recorc

The Augusta College
volleyball team did not have
much in the way of success
for this past year, but the team
did learn everything from
their experiences. They say
that winning isn't everything
and the volleyball team
showed that their is some-
thingotherthanwinning. The
team never gave up despite a
schedule that seemed to over-
power them and it is hard to
ask for much more. The Jag-
uars finished the season with
a 2-22 record. One of the
losses came as the result of a
forfeit. One of the victories
that the Jaguars did manage
to achieve broke an unfortu-
nate 32 game losing streak.
That streak started last sea-
son and carried over for the
first sixteen games of this
season. Even with such a

negative season opening, the
team moved on. The victory
that broke the streak was a
three match shutout against
Wesleyan College. The three
game match there ended with
Augusta College clearly the
dominant team. The final
scores ofthe match were 15-
3, 15-4, and 15-9. Unfortu-
nately the winning streak
never came into being and
the next four games were
disappointing losses. One of
the highlight games of the
season for the Jaguars came
in the contest against Savan-
nah College of Arts and De-
sign, but AC couldn't keep
control and fell to SCAD,
losing both matches in the
fifth and final match.

The athletes playing
for the Jaguars the past few
seasons have been learning

and growing from their ex
periences. The team is be
coming seasoned and mor
cohesive. The tough sched
ule they face puts them u
against some of the bettei
skilled teams in the region s
they surely learn from thei
losses. The falls that the tear
takes now are building a four
dation for next seasons vo
leyball athletes to come i
and improve upon. While
may be easier for the Jaguai
to hope that next year's sched
ule matches them with moB
teams the Jags can dominat

j

like the Wesleyan team froij
this year, it will ultimately h
the challenge of tough rivaj
that make them more pre!
pared to take the champior
ship next year. I

Men's team gets experience in tough conference

Augusta College's
Mens Tennis Team moved
to Division II in the Peach
Belt Conference this season
which insured a difficult
schedule and possibly dis-
appointing records. Their
impending season seemed
to be ominous because the
Peach Belt contained some
of the toughest competition
in the nation. The men fin-
ished their season with an
impressive 18-9 record
while facing some stiff com-
petition. Four of the top ten
nationally ranked teams
were on the Jaguars sched-
ule. The men were coming
off a 10-19 record in 1991,

and were returning with-
out two of the team's lead-
ers: Allen VanCampen and
Steve Platte. The team came
together when it counted
and finished with the first
winning season for the men
in as long a time as anyone
can remember.

Teamwork was a
crucial key to the men's suc-
cess, but individual achieve-
ment also played a major
role. The Jaguars were led
by Mike Hayes who fin-
ished with a 10-8 singles
record and was named Most
Valuable Player. Danny
Uschiner finished at 15-9
and was given the recogni-

tion of Best Attitude. The
Most Improved player on
the team was Will Segraves.
Only a few names were
mentioned here, but every-
one on the team should be
congratulated on their won-
derful performances this
season.

The men's teams
success was due partially to
readjusted and attainable
goals. The Augusta College
Jaguars will be as competi-
tive, if not more, in the fol-
lowing years, because of the
addition of several young
athletes.

The Augusta Col-
lege Women's Tennis Team
along with the men's team
were moved to Division 11
in the Peach Belt Confer-
ence. The women practiced
long and hard in anticipa-
tion of their rigorous sched-
ule to come. Although the
team had previously ailing
records, they began the sea-
son putting their best foot
forward.

The women's team
surprised everyone by
bringing home the confer-
ence championship this
season after finishing their
regular season with an im-
pressive 17-5 mark. This
best ever season came on
the heels of a 10-12 record

in 1991 with no conference
victories and a sixth place
finish in the conference.
Overall the team proved
that they had more than
potential to win, they could
accomplish their goals.

Everyone on the Jag-
uars Women's Tennis Team
deserved a pat on the back,
but some earned their right
to be specially recognized.
Cheri Cathey finished the
season with a 14-5 record,
was the number two Singles
Conference Champion, and
was named Most Valuable
Player and Most Improved
Player. Sandra Journell was
also named to the All-Con-
ference team finishing the
season with a 13-5 record

and was also half of thd
third ranked Doubles Con
ference Champion. Thtj
other half of the thirc
ranked doubles team wa:i
the third Jaguar All-Con i
ference selection, Lorr;
Randolph, who finisheo
with a 11-4 mark and wa;
the number six Single
Championship. Amie Woe
was honored with Best Ati
titude and finished the sea
son with a 10-2 record. Tht
future is looking bright fo
women's tennis at Augusts
College thanks to the hare
work and tremendous ef
fort exhibited by this teami

5EA50N FINALE

Aqua Jags complete their last season with a splash

The first real victim
of the move from Division I
to Division II was the Au-
gusta College Swim Team.
At the end of the swim sea-
son, the Athletic Director,
Clint Bryant, announced that
the Athletic Department
would be dropping the
swimming program at Au-
gusta College. Before the
season started this year,
there were rumors in the air
as to which sports might or
might not get cut from the
AC Athletic line-up. Instead
of carrying all the sports for
another year of Division II
play, the athletic program

has its first casualty against
the huge athletic budget
which there seems to never
be enough of. Bryant
pointed out several reasons
for the cancellation of the
swimming program. "Due
to the lack of participation
we find ourselves not meet-
ing sports sponsorship cri-
teria in women's swimming.
In addition, with the lack of
women's swimming teams
in the Southeastern United
States and the fact that swim-
ming is not a sport of partici-
pation in the Peach Belt Ath-
letic Conference, the Au-
gusta College Athletic Com-

i

mittee recommended tha
the program be dropped
The motion was approvec
by the Augusta College Ath
letic Association and th(
President."

With suspicions o;
the swimming program be:
ing dropped at the end of th(
season, the Lady Jaguars no
only competed for them:
selves, but for the school
especially when the suppor
needed was not given
Nonetheless, the Aqua Jag.
made a difference at August.

LEAD THE PACK

New coach continues strong leadership for team

Georgia's rich tradi-
tion of golf was upheld by
another inspired season of Au-
gusta College Golf. Alto-
gether, they ha\-e shown tre-
mendous effort by practicing
many tedious hours and im-
pro\ing on personal goals and
a\erages. Another encourag-
ing aspect was finishing ninth
in the strong District 111 Xorth,
just missing an NCAA East-
em Regional playoff spot by
one team. Ranking fifty sixth
in the nation of Division 1 was
e\idence alone of how much
thev ha\'e achieved.

Starting off the season
on the right foot, the Jaguars
placed second out of seven-
teen teams at Old Dominion
in .N'orth Carolina. The Jag-
uars were sure not to disap-
point their excellent record by
placing first out of fifteen

teams at the Jaguar Classic
held at Forest Hills Golf Club
and first out of seventeen
teams at C&S Intercollegiate
played at Cedar Creek Golf
Club in Aiken. The Jaguars
had a strong fourth place fin-
ish in the Cleveland Classics/
Augusta College Invitational
against a field that included
thirteen teams ranked in the
district or ranked nationally.
The team maintained a distin-
guished record by finishing
in the top ten in five of the six
tournaments.

Golf is a sport made to
support a drive for personal
excellence. Individual scores
reflect more about the quality
of a team than the consoli-
dated scores. Richard John-
son with an average of 73.4
proved to be vital asset for the
91-92 season. Coming in at a

close follow was Neil MacRae
with a 74.5. Chris Kuhlke and
Craig Hislop improved their
averages with a 74.8.

Jim Kelson, the new
head coach of the Augusta
College Jaguars, made an im-
mediate impact in his first sea-
son. Coach Kelson also seems
to have a keen interest in golf
and a deep appreciation for
the players and their roles as
student athletes. "I'm ex-
tremely excited about the up-
coming season," Kelson said.
"Although we have a very
young team, we also have sev-
eral players that have a great
deal of competitive experi-
ence."

The Jags had a very
difficult schedule and proved
that they could stand up to the
challenges presented to them.

Nikki Suarez

"I'm really
excited
about this
team.

We have a
pretty good
team; there
are a lot of
talented
players. I'm
just looking
to see how
far we can

go."

Conch jiiii Kelson

sjw^fST

The team started
practicing as a
group in early
September un-
der heavy fisted
Coach Dip
Metress who
whipped the
team into com-
petition form.

KEEPING PACE

Men's & Women's teams ran against the best

The Augusta College
Cross Country teams, both
men and wom.en, were never
in the spotlight that some of
the other sports received
throughout the year, and
understandably socross
country is simply not a spec-
tator sport.

The team consisted
of usually about seven
women and six men, but
sometimes less, due to in-
jury or some other intan-
gible. In order to compete,
however, both the men and
women's teams needed five
runners to qualify. The team
started practicing as a gf6up
in early September under
heavy fisted Coach Dip

Metress who whipped the
team into competition form.
Unfortunately, the Jaguar's
competition was a bit
tougher than expected.

The season started
with a meet at USC- Aiken
with both the women and
the men finishing fourth.
The team then traveled up to
a meet in Spartanburg, S.C.
where foggy conditions and
an unmarked course led to
several runners becoming
lost (final results could not
be obtained, but all AC run-
ners did finish). Next up
was a trip to Atlanta where
the Jags fell prey to the likes
of Georgia, Georgia Tech,
Georgia State and some

other powerhouses from al
over the state of Georgia. An
other race in Aiken resulted
in a second place finish fol
the women and anothe
fourth place finish for thi
men. The Jags then travelec
to Charlotte, NC to compet(
in the Belmont Abbey Home
coming meet, where agaii
both men and women scorec
fourth place finishes. Th
season ended with the Bij
South Conference Meet ii
Spartanburg, and althoug
the team didn't come homi
with first place, we do knov;
that no one got lost this time

CHALLENGING

Year was challenging despite 25-26 record

The Augusta College
Baseball team entered the
1992 season coming off the
toughest schedule in the
team's history. Unfortu-
nately the mo\'e down to Di-
\ision n did not make things
anv easier for the Jags. In
1^91 the Jaguars played
against Georgia, Kentucky,
South Carolina, Georgia
Tech, Clemson, Georgia
Southern and several other
national powerhouses. The
schedule for the 1992 season
was not any better as the
Jaguars played in the tough-
est Division II conference in
the nation. Six of the confer-
ences teams were in the na-
tif >nal top 25 during the sea-
and three of the teams
re in the top 10 at the end
he season . AC finished

the season with a 25-26
mark and finished confer-
ence play at 5-12.

The Jags never could
get a solid winning streak
started throughout the sea-
son but did suffer some close
loses including three loses
in extra innings. The Jags
fell on hard luck again in the
Peach Belt Conference Tour-
nament when the Jags had
to face USC-Aiken, ranked
5th nationally, in the open-
ing round. The Jaguars al-
lowed only two hits in the
game, but lost 2-0 to send
them into the loser's bracket.
There, the Jaguars found
themselves facing topseeded
Armstrong State only to
come away with a 7-5 loss.

The tough competi-
tion brought out some of the

star talent that has filled the
Jaguar roster for many years.
This year, the Jaguars placed
three players on the All-Con-
ference team. Chris Hodge
finished his impressive ca-
reer at Augusta College with
a .325 average and 16 hom-
ers, earning All-Conference
honors and first-team South
Atlantic Region honors.
Ronnie Barnes also finished
his career at Augusta Col-
lege in grand style, leading
the team in hitting at .345
and stolen bases. Barnes was
also named to the All-Con-
ference team and to the sec-
ond team South Atlantic
Region. Junior Jamie Miller
also earned All-Conference
honors as well as second
team South Atlantic Region.

The Augusta College
Softball team showed a solid
improvement over last
years 8-26 record in the Big
South. The Jaguars went
13-21-1 in their first season
of competition on the Divi-
sion II level and held out
for a 5- 1 2 conference record .
The team started off the sea-
son with only one win in
eleven games but then re-
bounded to slowly bring up
the numbers in the win col-
umn. The Jags finished the
season by winning eight out
of their last twelve games.
The Jags went into the
Peach Belt Conference tour-
nament on a confident note
and defeated local rival

USC-Aiken 7-2 in the open-
ing round. In the second
round the Jaguars met USC-
Spartanburg only to be
shutout 5-0. The loss sent
the team into the loser's
bracket to face the Pacers
from USC-Aiken again, this
time the outcome was in
the opponents favor, 5-16.
The team did not have the
success that it was aiming
for but did support some
stand-out performances
throughout the season and
tournament. The Jags main
pitcher, Rebecca

Ridlehoover, earned All-
Conference as well as All-
Tournament honors.
Ridlehoover not only led

the team in pitching with
2.91 ERA but also led th
team in hitting with a .34
average. Shortstop, Robii
Edwards, also made the Allj
Conference team, by lead!
ing the team in homerun
with eight , and RBIs witl
24. The Jags thirdbas
player, Nancy Woolwine
was selected wit
Ridlehoover to the All
Tournament team. Athleti
award honors on the tear?
went to Rebecci
Ridlehoover for Most Valu
able Player, Becky Pirtle fo

Woolwine as the Most Im,
proved Player.

OLYMPIC 60UND

AC players make Olympic table tennis team

In tn'outs held this
past December in Cuba, two
Augusta College students,
Yair Nathan and Magali
Montes, earned slots on the
Olvmpic table tennis team
from their native Peru. They
1 were among only eight play-
ers chosen for the team.

Both players, who
are currently playing on the
AC table tennis team, will
travel to Barcelona, Spain to
plav in the summer Olym-
pic Games on July 25 - Au-
gust 8, 1992.

Both players are ex-
cited about the opportunity.
I "We know it's diffi-

cult to win in the Olympics,"
said Montes, "But it's not just
for us, it's for our country."
I While both players

prepared mentally and
physically for the Olympic
trials, they also had to keep
I up in school. The AC team

has a strenuous practice
schedule to add to the play-
ers' schoolwork.

"It's difficult to be a
player and a student," said
Nathan.

He has decided to
take this quarter off and re-
turn to Peru to train for one
month, then begin a full-time
practice routine for the
Olympics. Montes, a gradu-
ate student, will remain at
AC until June.

Montes said it was
her father who introduced
her to the sport. He played
on the Argentina national
team. He enrolled her in
lessons, and by age 10 she
was on her way to the South
American National tourna-
ment for juniors.

That was the begin-
ning of the 13-year amateur
career.

"I was going to re-

tire," she said, "But then I
thought of the Olympics as
the last goal."

She didn't retire. In-
stead she went on to win five
titles at the South American
Championships.

Nathan has been
playing table tennis since
1982. His brother plays also
and will accompany the two
AC players to Barcelona in
July.

"I thought I would
play soccer," said Nathan. "I
never thought I would be
playing table tennis."

Nathan's titles in-
clude second place in the
doubles event at the Latin-
American Championship
(with his brother), and the
South American Doubles
Championship, also with his
brother.

would play
soccer. I
never
thought I
would be
playing

INTRAMURAL6

Seminoles Football Dominate Campus League

766^

wrts

Whether they met as
gladiators on the football field
or as warriors on the volleyball
court or golf course, amateur
athletes from Augusta College
formed teams and lasting
friendships while participating
in the intramural sports offered
through the Student Activities
Office.

Basketball and softball
were also offered as intramural
sports. The sports were open to
any Augusta College student
who was not a varsity athlete.
All intramural sports are
funded by the Student Activi-
ties Committee (SAC), accord-
ing to John Groves, Director of
Student Activities.

"We pay for all the sup-
plies, the balls, and referees,"
he said, adding that most of the
SAC money comes from the
$25 fee paid by students.

The SAC has only been
involved in the funding of in-
tramural sports for three or four
years, according to Groves.
"But we've had intramurals for-
ever, " he added.

Mr. Groves said more
students became involved in
intramural sports last year than
in any year in the past 10 years.

"We were even able to
have a golf tournament during
winter quarter," he said with a
laugh. "We had it on probably
the worst day of winter quar-
ter, but it was fun."

Mr. Groves added that
he thought intramural sports
are very important to the col-
lege career of a student. "It
helps get them involved in
things that are going on around
campus, " he said.

One of the key factors
of the success of an intramural
program is tapping the interest

of students. "You could really
go crazy with this stuff, if you
got enough student interest."

Mr. Groves said that
one day there could even be an
intramural table tennis team,
an intramural billiard team or
possibly an intramural rowing
team. "It could be endless, but
again the key is whether or not
you can get the students inter-
ested."

One of the many suc-
cess stories that grew out of the
intramural sports was the Semi-
noles touch-football team. The
team dominated the campus
league, losing only one game.

After becoming cam-
pus champions, the team trav-
eled to the state intramural foot-
ball tournament in Statesboro,
where they lost two games. But
one of those games was a 42-0
loss to state champion and na-
tional runner-up Mercer Uni-
versity.

"I think we did okay
(at the state games)," said J.C.
Halvorson, who was a member

of the Seminoles and vice-presi
dent of the Student Govern
ment Association. "We wen
just glad to be there."

He said he became in
volved with the intramura
sports he also played volley
ball, basketball and softball
to take advantage of the SAC
fee. "I payed the money tc
play, so I took advantage o
that. I also enjoyed it," he said

Halvorson also said b
sees the benefits offered by par
ticipating in a competitive at
mosphere," he said. "Plus it';
an enjoyable experience for ev
eryone, win or lose."

Student Jody Wilson
who played on the Delta Ch
football team, echoec
Halvorson's feelings. "The]
(the sports) help you meet nev
people," he said. "I met a lot o
new people playing footbal
those few days.

"It really helps you fi
in," he added.

here were several e\ ents in the news this past

T\ ear that made people take interest. The fall of
communism in Russia and the withdrawl of
American troops from subic Bay Naval Station
and Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines made the head
lines. There was man\ events that took place closer to home.
From the William Kennedy Smith trial to the Mike Tyson ip ;V^
trial, from Clarence Thomas hearings to the riots in Los |
Angeles, everyone was interested in what was taking place j
in the news.

In sports the Atlanta Braves were National League
Champions, which had almost everybody doing the "Toma-
lawk Chop." There was no doubt that Fred Couples would
win the Masters. This years was the first year the professional
jaskeiball players were allowed to participate in Olympics.
What a difference this year has made!

Give Us A Break

Flags waved at half mast
throughout vacation spots, spas, and
beaches of the western world in poi-
gnant soUdarity with those hundreds
of Augusta College students who
were denied the traditional spring
break after winter quarter finals. AC
administration had finally given in
to popular demand to postpone
spring break until Masters Week;
but time being of the essence, the
administration was unwilling to
deny the student body the full allot-
ment of time spent in the classroom.

As a result of this change,
there was virtually no break between
the winter and spring quarters. Stu-
dents missed the post winter finals
break, which generally allowed them
to unwind built up tensions in prepa-
ration for the new quarter.

The radical departure from
custom was met with a variety of
reactions at AC. While Public Safety
has not reported any significant ter-
rorist activity relating to this change,
some students have been observed
reacting with frowns, sneers and
outright complaining. In fairness, it
must be stated that there was much
evidence of placid acceptance of the
change; but that might simply indi-
cate that some students were slow
reactors.

Communications major
Mark Ristroph was both pragmatic
and philosophic in outlook. "I know
of AC students who wait tables dur-
ing Masters who earn over $1500 in
that week. It solves their money
problems for the rest of the school
year," he said. There will always be

people who react unfavorably to-
ward change."

History major Walter Schutt
liked the chance to get out of town
for Masters Week." The money situ-
ation decides if I leave town. If I do
leave, the books stay here and if I
stay here I hope Hardy Hall is open."

Kimberly Hudgeon, a part-
time night student working on her
Masters in Middle Grades Educa-
tion, felt compelled to keep current
or ahead in her assignments once
the spring quarter had started even
if AC was closed for Masters. "If
there's no break between quarters
then I'll have no break at all. I
couldn't just put the books aside
knowing there was work to catch up
on."

Sophomore Vivian Vaiden,
majoring in Biology, demonstrated
an admirable reverence for tradi-
tion. "My boyfriend and I went to
Daytona right after finals. It was
great, but it was only a three-day
break and we had to get back for
registration. Masters Week? I need
that break too. I don't like golf and
I don't plan to study."

Michael Donehoo, a junior
majoring in Communications, was
not happy about the merged breaks.
Seeing the benefit of a real break
subsequent to finals, he offered,
"Start the fall quarter early enough
to a How for a two- week break around
the Regatta and Masters. Sudents
could get their break, golf fans could
enjoy the Masters and everyone
would be happy."

NiMife in AuM

Let's face it. Augusta isn't Athens
or Atlanta, or New York. As Sterling Tolley,
a Senior majoring in History puts it, "It is a
limited nightlife. There is no real variety.
There are either really nice bars or pool hall
kind of barsnothing in between."

Despite the lack of a college town
feel, Augusta manages to do well as a town.
Many Augusta College students can be seen
having a few suds at the Red Lion or
Squeaky's Tip Top. "The Red Lion attracts
mostly an AC and MCG crowd," offered
Laura DeYoung, adding, "Everyone knows
everyone else."

Local talent like Sylvia 's Advice can
usually be heard on the weekends. The
band, playing a blend of folk and alternative,
attracts a great deal of people. Bill Peacock,
manager of the Red Lion, thinks it's the
service and uniqueness of the bar. "People
want to be taken care of at a low price," said
Peacock. He added, "It's about being seen."

The Tip Top is the other place
around town to be seen. When a newcomer
walks into the bar, that person is greeted by
hand painted walls, a juke-box packed with
great music like R.E.M. and Talking Heads,
as well as by Stan. Stan is a regular and if you
have ever hung out there, then your have
seen him. He speaks with an impediment
but everyone knows he loves baseball and
the country tunes in the juke-box. When
Patsy Cline's "He Called Me Baby" plays, he
just smiles and breaks into a jig. "Stan is a
very accepted part of the crowd, " said Alycia
Barja, a Senior majoring in Communica-
tions.

One thing which attracts a lot of
people to the Tip Top is the juke-box. "I like
the music in the juke-box," said Stephanie
Showman, a Freshman whose major is un-
decided. Barja added, "If you want cheese,
they've got it. jazz, country they've got it.
The juke-box has music to suit each persons
ndividual tastes."

Squeaky's also did a number of
Disco Hell nights. Emcee Coco Rubio plays
the best dance mix of old and new dance
favorites. "He plays old Seventies tunes to
New Age rap and theKed I lotC hili Peppers.
I le skips the cheesy pop music," said Barja.

During Disco I fell, (he pl.irc ciin

iJ -

get so packed that dancing becomes highly
restrictive.

The extremely cool head out to the
Partridge Inn, the place to be seen on the
weekends. The jazz is real cool and the
atmosphere extremely classy. Sit back and
have a nice glass of Red Wine and talk about
the week with friends.

The music scene is alive and well at
such places as the Cotton Row Cafe where
you can listen to an obscure folk-singer
strum his acoustic guitar. The Post Office is
a place to go to see the well known bands.
This past March, the Smithereens made a
stop here for their tour.

Augusta has a couple of good bars.
You'll always meet somebody interesting at
the Tip Top whether it be a psychologist or
someone in need of one.

For those under 21, Augusta can
seem a bit boring. "If you've been here more
than six months, you'll find that there is
nothing to do in Augusta," said Robert
Kriegel, a 19 year old Chemistry Junior.
Natasha Hendrix, an 18 year old Freshman
majoring in Political Science disagrees.
"There are a lot of things you can do it just
requires a little creativity. For instance,
watching a movie with your friends or get-
ting a whole bunch of people to go out to
eat," she said.

One place that was considered a
really popular restaurant to take a lot of
people out to eat was Vallartas. Barja says it
best, "Vallartas has good food, jumbo
margaritas, and service with a smile." Luigi's
was a second restaurant known for it's "amaz-
ing baklava". The Summerville Grill, across
from the Tip Top gets rave reviews from it
loyal clientele. "They have a Mediterranean
sandwich that could satisfy any appetite."

The cultural scene provides stu-
dents with a wonderful opportunity to ex-
perience the arts first hand. Steven Stamps,
a Senior majoring in English lists a few,
"You've got the Augusta Opera, Symphony,
Ballet, Augusta Players, and the Fort Gor-
don Dinner Theater," adding, "There is some-
thing going on two or three days a week to
give people a great variety whether it's pop
or classical or country."

Whether it's lounging
around in the CAC lounge
and watching TV or par-
ticipating in clubs or Stu-
dent Government, the stu-
dents at Augusta College
make a difference.

WHAT'S THE

Dimd

SUirimGr. The number of students decreased tremen-
dously due to the fact that most students wanted a break before
taking on another year of classes. For freshman coming in, students
could not enroll unless they were immunized. Discussions on what
to do with the old gym brought up debates with students and faculty.
Augusta College President Dr. Richard S. Wallace died of colon
cancer on July 21.

FSlII. Dr. Martha Farmer was named acting president of
Augusta College. To the students' relief, the bookstore lowered
textbook prices. National Collegiate Alcohol Week was the focus on
campus the week of September 13. Safe sex programs began at
Augusta College. Budget cuts caused a hiring freeze on campus.
Students that kept putting off the Regents exam were forbidden to
register for the following quarter. September 23 - 27. was named
Recycling Week. Students were given the chance to find a job at the
Ca reer Center Employer Expo. Thanksgiving break was extended to
seven days instead of the usual three. Graduation was held for the
first time in December. Ti" 73Q

WintGr. AC mourned the death of Registrar Greg Witcher.
Jim Kelson was named Golf Coach. Bill Bompart was named as the
new Vice President of Academic Affairs. Presidential candidate Pat
Buchanan stopped in Augusta, so did Dan Quayle. The long-
awaited Physical Education/Athletic Complex on Wrightsboro
Road was dedicated and the Jaguar mascot was introduced. The
Lady Jaguars clenched their first ever Peach Belt Conference titles
in basketball and in tennis. The Augusta Invitational Regatta on the
Savannah gave the Women's Novice Four a gold medal.

Dprin^. Student Government elections stirred up de-
bates on campus and questioned the SGA By-laws. A tuition hike
of 4 percent was approved for next year. Pi Kappa Phi sponsored a
record-setting blood drive with the help of faculty and students.
Once again, the Table Tennis dynasty continued as they clenched
their FOURTH consecutive National Championship. Honors Night
bestowed honors on some of AC's best and brightest students. June
graduation was held for the first time in the new Athletic Complex
with Dr. Reid-Wallace giving the commencement address.

What a quarter. What a year. What a

DIFFERMCE

The campus was full of many
events that set this year apart from
any other. Performances of bands
and the Drama Department and
events such as In-House Volun-
teering all helped to make a differ-
ence to the students and faculty.

Don't ever believe that one single
person can not make a difference
in this world. It is the determina-
tion and spirit of one individual
that can motivate others. It takes
one person to pass along ideas
and dreams so the world can be-
come a better place. Change starts
with one person. Don't wait for
change to find you. Take your
education and your desire to make
the world a better place and find a
miracle waiting to happen. It only
takes one to make a difference.
