s.c. LD270.81 .W35 1974 REESE LIBRARY Augusta College Augusta, Georgia fe 1963 was the year that we ' ll never see again. In those days — people were wearing simpler clothes, shorter hair, and had quicker smiles. Men wore white tee-shirts, sat on the front porch steps and smoked Winston cigarettes. A car was a tank filled with twenty five cent gasoline. A Fuel Crisis was a fiat wallet. Women believed that marriage was an ambition, not an inhibition of their lives. Ten dollars bought a lot of groceries. Viet Nam (remember? Indo-China), and the Draft was an inconvenience, not a flight. Living was easy in 1963-64. Music was finger popping, rolled up levis. and My Baby Just Left Me. And couples slow danced cheek to cheek, and twisted the night away with Chubby. Mao had erected the great wall of silence. Rus- sians were waving their Nukes. Kids wondered if they would live to ' 68. Camelot was the Celtic King and his fine queen in Washington D.C. Living was easy in 1963, until the King died on a Texas street, November 22, 1963: and few more kings died the same way, a bullet in the brain. A Mr. Speck was popular with the Nurses. And easy living was blown away by the storm of change. Life got rock hard and this Generation screamed out in pain over the Radio, and we all knew that it would never be the same. !S Ten Years After Ah yes, the good old days . . .

Remember uhen neighbors were better protection than cops, and assassinations were events buried in historv books. It ' s nothing nev to discover possessions gone and doorlocks shattered. Kitty Genovese died slowh while 37 Neighbors ' v itnessed. Rose Kenned attended two state funerals. Sirhan Sirhan. an Arab of questionable character, snuffed out a better man. .And many people still have their doubts about John ' s death. God made man. and Sam Colt made them equal.

ALL PHOTO.S COLiRTES LIFE 27 1:° I •d ' Boy . . . have things changed in the political field. Remember when no one knew who Agnew was, or what it was? And Nixon wasn ' t going lo be kicked around anymore? My how things have changed. The man for law and order (Mr. John Mitchell) has been indicted, the Vice President pleaded no contest to federal tax evasion charges and subsquently resigned. Time was when people would trample over each other just to look at Spiro T. Agnew. Why, even in Augusta this stalwart Repub- lican was warmly welcomed by We Southern Democrats Nixon stumped the cities, looking lor votes; uhile in 68 at the Chicago Democratic convention, we showed ourselves that war was possible in the United States, even without a I ' oreign devil. The Republican Convention in comparsion was a dull bore. George Wallace made it big in the South in the 68 election, and Nixon won by a slight majority reminiscent of his margin of defeat to John F. Ken- nedy in 1960. Nixon and . gneu were sworn in and we were going to let them brjng us together. m - ' Well things didn ' t work out that way. Not with the Viet Nam war, inllalion with a rece; sion (I thini this is a first), forced school bussing, labor problems, student unrest, terrorist bombings and the shape of the Paris Peace Talks table. Anyway, Nixon ran for reelection and his chances were ver good ... Nixon gained in popularity by visiting Russia and by opening up relations with the Peoples Republic of China (Red China). This noble gesture (recognition of Red China in the U.N.) cost Taiwan its seat. Nixon ' s chances for reelection in 72 looked better when George Wallace was shot (same thing happened in 68 when Senator Bobby Kennedy was murdered). True to predictions. Nixon and Ag- new won by the largest margin ever. Their victory was complete . . or was if Agnew was forced to resign, but Nixon hung on. However the breakin at the Democratic National Headquar- ters was linked to him. The impeach- ment process brought more pressure on Nixon until August 8, 1S)74 when Ni- xon resigned. Who now is the winner? Republican. ' Democrat? Independent? Nol We arel Our Constitution Mill works now on with Historv. IS MAiHi The Editor Old, staring, grim faces, and one remembers the time when a fully adult, useful man did ,not wear his hair long or a beard. He usually had his hair shorn short in the style commonly known as the white side wall, the flat top, or the G.I. 30 Anyone with long hair, unless it was a woman, was not invited to ordinary people ' s homes. These staid, honest people wondered and usually rejected the hirsute man. Look at these pictures closely, e.xamine them sharply, then glance through the faculty section and see if you can recognize any of these people. Who knows, maybe one of your present instructors are in these photos. You can either have a good laugh at his expense, or marvel that he, too, has also changed along with this school. 31 t0 prologue In this short section we have seen the change in the styles and social organization of. this cam- pus and this country. We are all products of our environment and all our past experiences will in- fluence our decisions and life styles. Your stay at Augusta Col- lege should be enjoyable (or at least memorable). Where were you when the Viet- nam war ended (for us, anyway)? What were you doing when Mar- tin Luther King was assassinated? Do you grieve for Bobby Ken- nedy, P.O.W.S, M.I.A. ' s? Has Augusta changed since the May •70 riots? Why? In the rest of this biography (although other people call it an annual or yearbook ) we will attempt to accurately portray in words and pictures, the feelings, happenings, and if possible . . the mediocrity, of 1973-74 Au- gusta College Community.

Shaw, Lewis Ten years ago, Augusta College was an infant four year school crawling towards its first graduating class of 1967. but since that time, Augusta College has stopped crawling and it is now youthfully walking towards an unknown goal as an educational institution. Since those early youthful days of small graduating class- es, Augusta College has matured as a four year school. Now, again, it is making those same hesitant steps towards its development by the recently approved masters program in Business and Education. The Business Department was the first to get its post- graduate school in operation, but Augusta College ' s Educa- tion department has also established a graduate stu ' dies. We, the present staff of the year book, do not know how the school will grow, but in the past ten years, Augusta Col- lege has grown from a small, provincial junior college to a respected four year school. Maybe, in the future, Augusta College will not be known as a college, but as an Univer- sity of Augusta. 49 g Gwn3aiLiMg. ZVcLIQNSmSaNG 1973- ' 74 61 THE PROPOSITION appeared here in fall 1973. This improvisational theatre group was the first offering of the Augusta College Lyceum Series. THE PROPOSITION was well received by the college audience. The Performing Arts Theatre that same quarter had its stage (dis) graced by the Augusta Players production of The Boy Friend . The Boy Friend was panned by a biting review in the BELL RINGER. The critic, John Brus- kin. caught a great deal of harassment from Those half baked amateurs. Alas . . . genius is rarely appreciated. The Proposition r 53 The Rogues ' Trial The Rogue ' s Trial , a Brazilian play written by Ariano Saussuna, was produced by the A.C. theatre in spring quarter as their third world cultural project. Remarkably the play turned out well, and many of the cast were outstanding in their individual performances. The play was also well received by the audience. 55 Angelica Sister Angelica , an opera, was produced by the A.C. Choir during fall quarter, so they could raise money for their trip to Europe. Opera is a welcome addition to the PAT. The photos in this section takes the reader from audi- tions to opening night. The longest journey starts with the first step. She Stoops to Conquer is a comedy of manners. A sophisticated play that derives most of its humor from the slickness of the actors ' deliveries. But that ' s in a different place. At Augusta College, this comedy of manners was reduced to a rally of errors due to various on stage mishaps like a leg of a table that fell off during a bar-room scene, premature scene changes, and that constant fear of the neophyte actor — forgetting a vital line. But like all good players, the A.C. student actors brazenly marched across the stage, said their lines, and the audience rewarded the young actors ' efforts by chuckles, laughter, and howls. That ' s the purpose of a comedy; to make people laugh, have a good time, and make them awake the next morning with a trace of a smile on their sleepy dull lips. She Stoops to Conquer 58 59 §PRINC Brother Band Earl Scruggs Revue was the second and main item of attraction at the 1974 Spring Concert. Brother Band, the warm up group, warmed up the audience so much that most of them retreated to the lobby. The few dedicated hard rock fans that remained to listen to Brother Band, had their lives made miserable by a group of deaf hog callers that specialized in sloppy drinking, dancing before the stage, and acting like a group of escaped juveniles. Brother Band got big brothered off the stage, and Earl Scruggs Revue walked out, plugged up their instruments, turned off half the amps, and proceeded to play some good Nashville music for the re-assembled audience. But the student marshals didn ' t have time to listen, for they were too occ upied with the preservation of that fragile commodity. order. Oh well, can ' t please everybody — that was Spring Concert 74.

Navigators are a Christian spirtua! organiza- tion on campus; since their visitation on this college, several other similiar organization have been formed. Augusta College Jaycees and a social fraternity, Phi Beta Epsilon shared the honor of The Club of Year award in 1974. While on the subject of clubs, Augusta College chartered 7 new organizations this year: Augusta College Art Association, Augusta College Archery Club, Christian Science Organization, Campus Crusade for Christ, A.C. Predental and Paradental Association, Wom- en and Friends, a feminist organization, and Graduate Business Association. Augusta College, besides being a socially active campus in the way of clubs, is also a commuter school. One advantage of a commuter school is that an older person can further his education. Some of the older students requested that a day care center be established at Augusta College. In 1972, Augusta College opened a day care center. Since that time, the College has advanced into the area of primary education with the opening of a child development center that will be opened in Fall 1974.

SGA shown concern for the student commuter dur- ing the fuel crisis by estab- lishing a car pool. However, the fuel situation improved around April, and man of the poolees returned to their old wasteful habits. In late September 1973. SGA opened a coffeehouse on the A.C. campus. The opening night featured the Rice Brothers, and the stu- dents jammed the Chateau. The coffeehouse has proved to be more durable than the car pool. Dave Grande, the SG. President, worked hand in hand with th Administra- tion and Bell Telephone to get a free phone in the lobb of the Student .Activities Building. Mr. Grande was also in- strumental in getting a needed change in academic policies with the e.xtenlion of the Withdrawal passing time limit and arranging where the student can change his status in a class from a graded to an audited situation. Many students have taken advantage o ' this new polic . lights on the tennis courts. The proposal was approved, but the money was not funded. ELECTIONS; Sign up, anybody can. but has got to be a registered student with a 2.00 GPA. SGA lost a Vice President this year due to a failing average. Spend all night, actually several nights, making posters. This year was strange — the freshman read the posters, but the upperclasspeople pored over the platforms. Some of them snorted, made comments, Pie in the sky. Ultimate in Ivory tower idealism. One student wrote a letter to the Bellringer about one candidate ' s platform which would cost each student 50 dollars a quarter in student activities fees. The candidates got out, shook them warm hands, and waited for election night. Election night rolled around, and some lost, and some won, and some had dreams about bigger things.

AOYED TO 1801 L_ The southern male like many males in this coun- try believed that woman ' s place was behind the stove, rearing children, and going to church. The feminist movement has been agitating for over a hundred years to destroy this mascu- line vision. In 1919. the suffragette gained the right to vote for their sis- ters. The late si.xties were marked by an upsurge of woman ' s struggle for equality. At Augusta College, a group of women banded together this year in order to further this struggle and created an or- ganization called, Women and Friends. 78 ORGANIZATIONS ALPHA DELTA PI A. C.

This spring at A.C., some hungry students banded together and created a food co- op. This organization served as a channel where the student could obtain food at wholesale prices. The Co-op doesn ' t handle caviar or cham- pagne, but it gives a student a good deal for the staff of life. And many A.C. students are thankful for its existence. W.C.A.C.-T.V. is now on the Air. This new college media sprang onto the C.A.C. television monitors during spring quarter 1974. A journalism 101 class felt that the A.C. newspaper was inadequate in getting the news to the student. They went ahead and rigged up a news show seen in the student center at 12:00 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday during that quarter. Like many other things at Augusta Col- lege, the television station was a learning experience to the students. fOOD CO ' OP 80 GROWTH USTA LEGE Augusta College in the past ten years has expanded from the early days of a college in four class buildings to a now sprawling academic complex. In 1963, a student could often walk to his class in five minutes from the old student center in Academic two. Now, in the year 1974, students who are taking art in the ceramics lab will often times drive from the C.A.C. to this art class in an old warehouse on the far side of the campus. Quite a change from the small tucked away campus on the hill. Augusta College is, and perhaps always be, primarily a commuter school. 1963, the parking lot across from Academic one resembled a plowed field. Physical plant would often gravel the lot to keep the mud holes from developing into lakes. 82 Spring 1970, the first and only time that the Augusta College student body, ever worked en masse, protested, by a parking strike, the wretched parking lots. Less than a quarter ' s time, day- dreaming students could look out the windows of Academic one and see high speed earth movers scooping up the dark earth of the parking area. Then, in the break between summer and fall ' 70, the parking lots were asphalted, and the student body crumbled back into apathy. 84 This school has been undergoing change for a long time, but when change occurs, old landmarks must die underneath the dozer blade, the tempered chisel point of a ninety pound jack hammer, and the crow bar in the hands of a strong backed man. But often, these same strong, hard working men also construct buildings, parking lots, and new roads that have altered the face of this campus to the better. The College is gradually losing the atmosphere of an old arsenal, and this atmosphere is being replaced with a more peaceful, and scholarly air. 85 86 87 EXPANSION OF THE MIND 88 Hi HS k ' I HD l ppt 1 ; aB fefll u s M ilkl 1 OF THE BODY 89 EXPANSION OF 90 OUR CONSCIOUSNESS 91 l .

But. at least, they did not drag home with their spotted tails between their legs. However, credit must be given to the top fou r members of the team, for they are responsible from keeping most of the games in the loss column, Mike Shea, an export from Boston, a forward, nicknamed Turkey , was the team ' s leading scor- er with 402 points for the year, 16.1 points a game, and 168 field goals. Henry Davis, a forward from New York city, also known as Chicken man for his habit of con- suming buckets of the Colonel ' s best; Davis also gnawed on a few baskets this year with 352 points, 14.1 per game, and clunked in 145 field goals. William Chick Ludman, 5 ' 10 guard from New Jersey, was selected as the most valuable player this year for his ball handling on the court, shook up the roost.

Basketball has taken root in the south, a land of mild w inters, but just because the w inters are mild, that means nothing. The Cheerleaders, the Coaches. Pre.sident Christenberry. and the pla ers take a harsh approach to the game. The want to win. Sometimes during the game, some of the pla ers would like to slop and take a shower. But thes don ' t and like the rest of the team ihev hustle 105 Aqua-Jags, one of Augusta College ' s recent athletic innovations, had a fairly good season this year. They won ten meets, lost three. This might not sound impressive, but considering the size of the team, eight swimmers and four divers, the A.C. tankmen did very well. The new year presented a challenge to this small team, because the Aqua-Jags lost Doug Fleck, who was selected as the most valuable swimmer last year, and Norman Waters, a promising diver, who quit because of personal reasons. But the Aqua-Jags closed ranks and swam on to a moderately successful year. Standing, L-R. Joseph Mosely, Team manager; George Inman. Joe Radford, Rusty Dunbar.

I ' m going to the basketball game, she said in a sweet, pleasant voice. The Iron Man. Doug Fleck thinks about the thousand meters of swimming practice. And Iron Man awaits the meet that will prove his nickname. A Video tape camera captures the Jaguars warming up under the basket. The camera is the coach ' s electronic third eye; and he will wait till the end of the game to view his boys ' performance on the tee-vee. George Inman. a diver, a bike rider, and a master of a 450 Honda; he ' s got to make a clean dive. And in those final moments before that leap, George must master his own body. Water, without that precious liquid — man would thirst to death. But this young man is trying to defeat the water, human opponents, and the clock. Sometimes his body fails him and he does not win. Maybe he will take second, or perhaps third, but he swims on like a person swimming through the water of life. A camera stops a fast moving ball, some blurred hands, a pass, and two points in the making. Basketball, the new all American sport; a kid dribbles the ball down the street and he listens to the inflated leather glove making that pleasing, cu-thunking noise. Ten years later, he is standing with his team-mates and his coach; the kid is listening to a different tune, the national anthem being played in a nearly empty Georgia seaport city coliseum. The kid never knew ten years ago that he would be playing for Augusta College, but since that time, he had developed quick hands, fast feet, a couple of tricky moves, and some sharp eyes. A coach saw him play one day. and now the kid is there, breathing in the big time. Give me a J, give me an A, give me a G, screams a small girl with neatly cropped blonde hair. She wants the crowd to roar, and roar so loud that the huge, metal, roof support girders will shake. Give me a R. screams the girl as she leaps into the air. She had done her best, but the crowd is still silent. Pat Mulherin, a Sports Announcer Jim Claffey, the Aqua-Jags ' s premier diver, made it to the ' 74 nationals at Downers Grove.

In the ten years since this school has been accredited, people, actually college students, have done strange, very strange things called fads. We don ' t have pictures of A.C. students burning their draft cards, or stuffing telephone booths, or swallowing goldfish, but we have a picture of some A.C. students playing a fantasy with a grave. That was ten years ago. In 1974, the A.C. students were also involved in a new fad: streaking. Streaking is a sport in which the stucient takes his her clothes off and dashes through a crowded place, such as a cafeteria or a street lined by curious people. 117 Homecoming usually conjures up in the minds of the sentimental alumni the glorious times of youth, but to the A.C. Student Homecoming was not glorious ... for the Jaguars were defeated. However, the Homecoming week was not a complete loss, for the students relieved themselves of academic pressures by battering a well-preserved ' 62 Plymouth sedan into a ragged pile of metal. A bonfire and pep rally were held on the archery field, Thursday night, but the students did not come out in great numbers due to a faulty scheduling of events. The Lyceum Series presented the Alard String Quartet; The English Department had a Western American Poet, R.P. Dickey reading, that night. The Bonfire reduced itself to ashes before a sparse crowd. The next night, Friday night, posters were scream- ing, Whup ' em Jags , or Stomp the Blazers ' and other such exhortations. These messages failed to inspire the Jaguars onto glory, for they lost the home- coming game to Valdosta State; 67-54. And this loss mangled August College ' s chances for being among the top three in the conference. Awards, in keeping with tradition, were given out at half time. The A.C. Jaycees, who had won the Spirit on the Hill award in 1973, also won the same award this year. Nancy Bennett, a demure young lady, the epitome of southern young womanhood, was crowned home- coming queen by the President of the College, George Christenberry. After receiving the crown, Ms. Bennett gave President Christenberry an enthusiastic hug of affection. After the game, the Augusta College Students sulked out of the gym and soberly marched over to the C.A.C. They were hot happy for their team failed them by losing the most important game of the season. But the students consumed some liquid refreshment, danced to the music of a local rock band, and gradually forgot the shock of defeat. ' But wait ' till next year! ' THE AMERICAN PASTIME REALLY!!? I The Augusta College Aqua-Jags are the kids that spend two hours each day, during the season, swim- ming. They come home at night, crack their books and study, then on that big day — they swim their hearts out. But these tankman of the hill also find time to be involved with the doings of Augusta College. Do you think you got the stamina to be a swimmer?

The Collegiate golfers then went to a South Atlantic Conference tourney held at Jekyll Island during the middle of May.

The main reason; the Jag ' s top seeded netter David Moretz. first tennis scholarship athlete at Augusta College, was declared academically ineligible. His loss from the team threw a great burden on the racket of the number two scholarship player, John MacNeish. He did well, but the rest of the team didn ' t. But John will not be back next year, due to tne tact that Augusta College lacks adequate facilities, (Tennis Courts with lights). 142 NIS TENNIS . . . TENNIS . . .

They came, they snapped the shutter, and left. Some of them, we were glad to see leave, but some of the others, we wish had stayed. Some of our better photographers would come in the office with this strange look burning on their faces. They would snicker and deposit a brown manila envelope, CHAMPION CLASP NO. 97. 10 . 13. on the Editor ' s desk. The Editor, I thinks his name is Flanagan, would jump up and sing an old-fashioned Irish song of thanksgiving, for we were suffering from a drought of photographs. He would open the envelope and scream. No, no. this is not what I wanted. The offended photographer would get petu- lant and leave. He would come back si.x months later with the assigned photos. This section is dedicated to these heroes ( ' . ' ) of the photograph- ic art. Look, behold these photographs, perhaps you might even see yourself, if you do don ' t blame us. To Be Continued Inanimate objects such as this bridge have tempted our photographers eyes. They also took shots of campus security writing out ticicets, co-eds studying, an easy rider cruis- ing the campus, and a student fixing to nod over his booics. And that ' s campus life, and the camera serves as a chronicler and recorder of the doings that occur on this campus. - f ' € I ' ' e • ' 160 inOIijrtBtmterrg 161 Page 162, Clockwise From Top Left.

Augusta College for a long time had a pretense of an art department. In the past three years, the department has expanded from an emphasis in drawing and painting to etching and ceramics. Ceramics has proved to be one of the more popular additions of the art de- partment. Many non-art majors have taken the ceramics courses in order to construct useful, yet creative clay ob- jects. SUN ' N ' FUN Anybody for a Beer? ' ' Hot damn, shouted the liber- ated student while getting into his car. What are you so happy about? asked a pale student, toting an arm- ful of books. Fm going to Clarks Hill. What ' s up there? Field Day. Oh, said the tired student. He was going to the library, but he didn ' t feel like it. He wanted to go somewhere and sleep. His eyes were baggy, and ' he had a sneaking suspicion that his mind was starting to go. He had bumped into a girl that morning and said, I ' m sorry sir. She had laughed at that apology, but he still felt like some fool.

I like to. said the pale student, as he rubbed his bloodshot eyes. But I got to study. Shove them books, said the field day goer. Just cram them. The pale student absent mindedly crawled into the car and sat down. He dumped his books on the floor board. Have a beer. The pale student had a cold one shoved into his hand. He clumsily pulled back on the ring and took a sip. That ' s good. he exclaimed and the student took a deep gulp. The two students started the forty mile drive to Clark Hill. On the way. the pale student drank three beers, got a little giddy, and told a few good ones that he had heard. Augusta College recreation center; a big sandy beach, couple of floating docks, cement picnic tables scattered about the piney hill; a big, blue and white metal building rests contently at the top of the hill in the sunlight. Few students sit at the tables drinking beer in the shade. Lots of the students are sprawling lazily on the beach like winter fatigued seals basking in the late spring sun light. Two non-conformists are playing ping-pong in the oven like interior of the buildina. 202 J An old green slab-sided pick up truck cau- tiously backs its way through the pine trees down the hill. An alert student croaked to his friends, It ' s Flanagan — it ' s Flanagan with the beer: Peter J. Flanagan, secretary of the A.C. Jaycees, had arrived with two kegs of Pabst draft beer. Students asked, Hey Flanagan, what ' s with the beer? Make a dollar ' s donation to Easter Seals Rehabilition Camp, and you ' ll get five cups of beer. A good natured line forms, the kegs are in place, and a stocky, big voiced Irish lad pulls back on the taps. A cup is filled with the cold, amber colored liquid.
