Conflicts Hit Gator Country The past four years held many memories for students. Major events both on campus and around the world changed the way we will look at the world for the rest of our lives. Probably the one event that will stand out in every- one ' s mind the most from the past few years was the 1984 NCAA investigation of the football team. This football team went on to victory after stunning victory and won the SEC championship crown with the leadership of Galen Hall. After the victory over Kentucky, which earned the SEC crown, fans began celebrating across campus and in the streets surrounding the school. This celebration last- ed well into the night. The results of the NCAA investigation eventually took the crown away from the football team and imposed many other sanctions. However, the fans will always know the 1984 Gator football squad won the crown. Another long-lasting controversy was Gator Growl. Starting with Gator Growl in 1982 when Robin Williams performed much to the disgust of alumni, faculty, and staff — the controversy to continue to rage for the next several Growls. The question Who is Growl for, the students or the alumni? summed up the whole issue. In 1983, Bob Hope was signed to provide family entertainment for the alumni. By restaging his entrance for his TV special, reading off of giant cue cards, and singing with a virtual- ly unknown country singer, he alienated the students and recieved boos throughout his performance. The 1984 Growl was once again a successful show, with Bill Cosby using his talents to entertain the students and alumni. The Smothers Brothers were signed to perform for the 1985 show in the continued attempt to keep the alumni happy. Unfortunately, their sibling rivalry humor and duets did not please the students, many of whom had never even heard of the comedy team. As a result Gator Growl turned into Gator Groan. In 1986, the problem appeared to be solved once again by signing Billy Crystal. The production satisfied every- one involved. Another highly visible series of events was the nation- wide apartheid protests in the spring of 1985. Some thought it would be a return of the sixties student activi- tism, a change from relative political apathy, but this was not to be. The protests were generally intense but fairly unsuccessful and short-lived. — John Webster I) E. Cometz 2) K. Rotberg 4 Opening
