Ihoto Essays THE LEADERS by Juliann Morris The philosophy backing leadership ponders the origin of things, love of something, and the search for wisdom and knowledge. The people involved in our lives who provide guidance in these areas are our leaders, be they world, national, local, or personal. At Appalachian, we have a wide variety of leadership available to us. Chancellor Herbert W. Wey is the guiding hand, leading us all to grow in wisdom and knowledge. With such an immense job, he is assisted by Vice Chancellors Dr. Braxton Harris - Student Affairs, Robert Snead - Development, Ned Trivette - Business Affairs, and Dr. John E. Thomas - Academic Affairs. He is also assisted by Dr. Cratis Williams, Dr. Richard D. Howe, and Joseph P. Greer. The student body, as a whole, probably derives the most leadership from students who take it upon themselves to become involved with student government, student publications, radio and television, and the many diverse committees on campus which provide information and endless possibilities for students to broaden their realm of knowledge beyond dorm life, classes, and study. SGA is continually working to improve many aspects of a student ' s college life at Appalachian. With such a wealth of leadership, we sincerely hope that everyone will benefit in some way from all that has been and continues to be done for us.

fl kVRhodo hoto Essays! The Athlete Photographed for the Rhode by Bill White. The world of athletes has for centuries provided man with a blissful refuge from the secular pressures of society-at-large. Sport gives us the needed recreation, the necessary release essential to the harmonious interaction between body and mind. Although long restricted to men, athletics are now for everyone as the women of the world take their place alongside man in the trenches of competition. Women now compete in more varsity sports than ever and the trend is toward increased participation. Appalachian State can pride itself in the wide range of sporting opportunities it offers its students. The A.S.U. athlete can seek reward in basketball, handball, wrestling, boxing, volleyball, football, racquetball, baseball, fencing, archery, track and other sports. It is our philosophy that good mind and character rest upon a healthy body and that athletic activity is the best way to develop these conditions. Anyone who has ever participated in an athletic endeavor and tasted the sweetness of victory or the bitterness of defeat knows that success does not come cheaply. Long hours of sweat precede each movement in the field of athletics. As the athlete achieves greater levels of excellence, the competition stiffens, and the demands upon him increase. To temper these demands A.S.U. athletics stress more long-lasting goals in the development of the student athlete. Satisfaction, accomplishment and a sense of improvement through physical activity are the primary objectives of A.S.U. athletics. Whether competing for an intramural championship or the conference crown, the purpose is the same: to become as good as your God given talents allow. The great Vince Lombardi said, Winning isn ' t everything, it ' s the only thing. Although no one can dispute his legacy, Lombardi ' s side is but half of the story. To fixate upon winning alone may deny the participant the pure enjoyment of sport and the benefits it nurtures. Whether you ' re competing for fun or fame, move with gusto. And when your moment in the limelight arrives, carry your head high. Pre-game vigil Pat Murphy and Julius Thomas loosen up under leaden skies before the Citadel game. Photo Essays 26
