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 II i ftlftllMftWipiHiW 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.

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. -Nilam Patel Above: After graduation this woman reeeive congratulations from her family.

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! *s;. 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. James W. Hooper ]; Below: Brenda and Dan - what would the Admissions Office be without these two!

Above: Sweets aren't one of the delicacies that vegetar- ians give up - Yi-Huey Yong, Secretary/Treasurer of the Higher Taste Club, Right: Vallartas Mexican restaurant offers vegetarian meals that Smita Pate Higher Taste Club President, takes advantage of. Vegetarians are not just "car- rot crunchers", they may choose from vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes. Some types also enjoy dairy products and eggs. ^Q StJedC^ ealmy 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." Karen Wiedmeier Public Relations Office SiAt^f // w w* e ar "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." Sally Simkins V>v^ %: / 12 Above: When the United States committed itself to war in early January 1991, students of the ROTC program at AC realized how serious their military studies actually were.

Right: Augusta had the opportunity to see Vice President Dan Quayle on one of his campaign stops for President George Bush. Quayle made 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. DELTA 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. K, V.ni I iudson earcii 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! Tiffany Smith r- Above: The ATLAS computer system was installed in the library in 1989.

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 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. Mary Kay Moore 51 learral VJoodbye 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?

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.

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. ;S*gs'f:S?^ William Balch Jacqueline Barrett Rosetta Bass Stephanie Bell Justin Benfield Andrea Bennett Sonya Bcnning Maria Bernaldez Willie Berry Amber Biles 59 t>TlinClilTP or UULI1I0 hUW bn^ER Beth C.

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 vices and problem solving All with great experience i) customer service, student earned $5.30 per hour am, were guaranteed thirty hour or more per week. Rent wa taken out of the student weekly paycheck. Disney pre vided all uniforms and laur dering services. : After students obtained position, professional semi nars were provided. Al employees were able to visi the Epcot Center, Disney am; Disney Studios MGM Them Park free with I. D.

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. Nancy Murr?

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.'

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.

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.

Scott Hudson Kim Huffman Michael Hurling Robert Hutchinson Theresa Ivey Wolney Jackson Jay James Shelby James Tyya Jarrells Bonnie Jenkin Virginia Jenkins Harvey Johnson Keithaniel Johnson 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.

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.

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.

S^ 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.

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.

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. "What I got from this trip Philip Tralies Jeaneen Tullis Theresa Usry Russell Van Horn Corey Veasey Helen Vella Edie Wall Terrilyn Wallace Diana Walker Merofier Walker Carly Ware Mary Washington Rhonda Watkins Wilson Watkins William Watson Vicki Watts 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- versity, Princeton University 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.

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 Mr. Sladky. Students learn from talking with each other about their own writing in terms of strengths, weakness and revision strategies. Pictured here are, from left , An- drew FarlyJudithClarkeand Brett Roby. Patiently awaiting approval from the professor, students review their latest drafts. Students also critique each others papers for grammar & content. /ijQ AauleMux D^R d^/v^/i^/fv^ With a liHic prtmipting from the prtrenght')ina siudcnlsargumentivc paper and gives -id'. !'< f'>r rhanK<"s 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. Scott Cheek 101 1X4/1/0^ '/fvj< -vf^ 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.

They also help those students '.vho might be having trouble with l|.. in.ih-ri-ll Besides dis- secting and learning about the the frog, students have the chance to study some anatomy and physiology which in- cludes study of the human skeleton. Most labs pair stu- dents with a classmate fora lab partner The Augusta College Choir and Concert Choir's strat- egy is to work as a team. The group feels it is an out- let for creative expression. Some of the events the Choirs participate in are the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, half time at the basketball games, gradua- tion, and they also sing in the community. /Q^ AauJenics \]aajXJ^ rlctcMjCyt w* 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." Robyn Victoria Macey /iWniair /05 StUtUlc 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." Gail L. Heath 7i/n Aaulemias AaJemics /Q^ 708 H t li'iCu ri^tU^ 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."

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!

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. Kathryn Kimberly \) tiA^cvst/t HU^\J-f 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. Rowland W. Pitts ff'fi IMXl KinW Left: Julie Livingston is work- ing on Pascal, a programing lan- guage, to complete her program.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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. Mark Ristroph SCOKhKOARD Ft.

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.

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.

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 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.

Coach Jeff Rout 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.

Ciificli Jeff Rdiil 155 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 Mark Ristropl JUlJL. i All-Conference Performers Women Jennifer Bistrak - MVP Sara Gordon - Best Attitude Julie Yeargin - Most Improved Men Greg Elvvell - MVP Ken Gampbell - Best Attitude Mark Ristroph - Most Improved ii"^-->^ J fS9 All-Conference Performers Chris Hodge 1st team All-Conference s Ronnie Barnes J 1st team All-Conference JM Jamie Miller 1st team All-Conference i B.^'b^C^,^ R? /QQ Sparnal 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 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.

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.

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.
