The 1984 year brought new and ex- citing highUghts to the Augusta College campus. One of these high- lights was the declaration of A.C. ' s purchase of the old Forest Hills V.A. medical building. The Augusta Col- lege Foundation and the Board of Regents of the University system of Georgia joined with the General Ser- vices Administration to buy the 26.5 acre area, on March 26. Several plans are being considered for the facility. President Christen- berry stated in a press conference held at the college that the college plans to develop a continuing edu- cation department. Other plans for the area will include a housing cen- ter for 300 to 400 students. This dorm will increase A.C. ' s enroll- ment to include out-of-town trans- fers as well as out-of-town athletes. Another plan for the land will be to renovate the adjoining land for a golf course and joining parking lot to be located near the Pine Needle Road area. The actual purchase price for the land and the building was $450,000. Early appraisal of the land illustrat- ed that $2 million to $4 million would be needed for renovation and development. Dr. Christenberry, like all of the student body, admin- istration and faculty, anxiously awaits the opening of this new addi- tion to the campus, which Dr. Christenberry hopes to be as soon as fall quarter of 1985. dorMs Friday, April 27th brought the 5th annual A.C. Hoedown, sponsored by the student union, held in the C.A.C. This year ' s Hoedown featured good ole ' foot-stompin ' contemporary country western music by the Barkley Brothers Band, delicious barbecue catered by Sconyers, and all the Old Style brew that all the country folk could guzzle. Students enjoyed the evening of eating, dancing, and drinking til the wee hours of the mor- nin ' ! Yee-haa!! Twenty-four of Augusta Col- lege ' s most academically prestigious students were in- ducted into Phi Kappa Phi, a national collegiate honor so- ciety, on Friday, May 4, 1984. The banquet was held to hon- or the students in the top ten percent of the Senior class, and the top five-percent of the Junior class. In addition, these students must also maintain a grade point aver- age of 3.5 or better. Each year. Phi Kappa Phi elects one outstanding facul- ty member as an honorary member of the society. Dr. Helen Callahan of the Histo- ry department was chosen this year. Congratulations are extended to these students for their superior academic achievements. w w w w w w w w w w w w W Honors Convocation ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦   ♦♦  ♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦■ •♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ?♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦ • ■ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦• HH  ¥ The stars were bright and shining as Keith Cowling, Terence F.

Working on the book kept us busy, but we still took time to attend an exciting workshop in Atlanta. We had a great time putting this volume together and hope that you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it. Our staff looks forward to working on this year ' s book. Staff members are shown below at play (left to right) Barbara Jessie, Leonard Bates (editor), Kim Gilbert, Valerie Spratlin, and Riconda Fortson. The Advisor for White Columns is Keith Cowling, also shown at play. Bell Ringer The Bell Ringer newspaper staff, pictured not too busy here, deserved a break from their hard work and headaches this year. It was hard to meet those deadlines, but with the joint ef- forts of the dedi- cated editors and hard-working staff members, we stu- dents were always confident of the pa- pers in those boxes on the specific dates. The editors and staff of this year ' s paper served the A.C. community well. Tricia Blount served as Editor-in- Chief for the Fall and Winter quar- ters. In the Spring quarter, Bruce Wil- lig took over as the new Editor. The staff and sponsor, Jim Garvey, devoted many hours making those interesting and informative ar- ticles for the student body, faculty, and administration. Black Student Union Black Student Union is always busy with different activities, such as sponsoring guest speakers. A.C. ' s own Lillie Jugurtha spoke during one of the distinguished black speaker series. Black Student Union also had a tree planting ceremony in front of the C.A.C. in memory of Martin Luther King. B.S.U. is active not only on campus, but also within the community. ' ' Center Stage ' ' This year ' s Student Union brought many new and talented performers to Center Stage, the entertaining coffee-house atmosphere of the C.A.C. Many of these performers included Gene Gotten, Michael John, and Ed Jackman. While the students and Faculty enjoyed the musical talents of the spotlight guests. Student Union provided an assortment of wine and cheese to enhance the even- ings. Homecoming ' 83 Homecoming is traditionally a time for A.C. alumni to join with present students in enjoying a week of festivi- ties; this year was no exception. The week of activities culminated with the Homecoming games at the Civic Center, followed by the Homecoming Dance. I.C.C. pro- vided a unique dance with a Mardi Gras atmosphere. Music was provided by Generation. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Queen and King. After the suspense was ended, Delia Crews emerged as the Homecoming Queen and George Leverett was named Homecoming King. 99 Student Government Association Student Government plays a major role in decision-making at Augusta College. Every student is affected by the actions of the S.G.A. To the left, the Executive officers are captured in carry- ing out the T.A.S.K. They are Craig Stanley (president), D. Faye Lyons (vice president), Nita Wiggins (secretary), and Ted Ever- ett (treasurer). 3RJDENT c A I T WMt mtt J)Aioci on EUCLIDEAN seciCTy iCreias que le exigieron que estudiaras una lengua extranjera solamente para que sufrieras? Pues, ino es asi! Se divierte mucho aprendiendo una lengua extranjera. No hay que conjugar verbos todo el tiempo. Los Amigos Hispanos es un club que ofrece varias actividades culturales para los alumnos de espanol. La presidente, Yolanda Robles, dice que durante la primavera celebraron el cinco de mayo y ofrecieron una clase de cocina para emostrar como preparar los platos tipicos del mundo hispanico. En junio de 1984 varios alumnos de espanol y Fran- ce ' s — acompanados por los profesores Sandarg — pasaron dos semans en Espana y Francia donde tenian la oportunidad de practicas practicar el idioma. Tambien se ofrecen el Frances y el aleman en Au- gusta College. Alpha Mu Gamma es una sociedad honoraria para los alumnos sobresalientes en los estudios de espanol, Frances o aleman. Did you ever think that the college Forced you to take a Foreign language just to make you suFFer? Well, it is not exactly like that. Learning a Foreign language can be Fun. It ' s not always conjugating verbs. Los Amigos Hispanicas sponsors a variety oF events to supplement the classroom. This year they sponsored a cooking class, demonstrating hispanic cooking tech- niques, celebrated cinco de mayo, closely related to our Independence Day, and spon- sored a week-long trip to Spain. There is also a For- eign Language So- ciety, Alpha Mu Gamma, For those students having excelled in two quarters oF a For- eign language. Be- sides Spanish, German and French is also taught here. Each one having various activities along with classroom work. ■ ,t ' : A P A gl5lS1Bia gtgiS SlSl5M 5Mg1S1S1BMBMBM5lS1SlS1Sl5liiMSM5l51Sl515 M5MSM51Sl5lgl5l51S 5l51 Zeta Tau Alpha D L P B1 [RB ETDaNG- f m I a ««« ««««i «««««««««««««««««V««««4 f4 mi Bookstore Veterans ' Affairs Career Planning And Placement Student Ambassador t, , ,fc  ,a a,aB  a,8,a«fc «£a g= B« a «  «K.  . = .ga fc« B o a r d e99V999S999S9S9f 9V99W999W99 et s giasMasMa Phi Beta t99W99mmtm999W9999V9mw9W9mfm999mr9mm9mfm9m9m99mm9m9W9wssm a m b d Si m f VKMk CWb u N -; • Dr. Edward J.

J. p The 1983-84 Cullum Series focused on Japanese cul- ture through an extensive series of informative films, slide shows, presentations, and lectures by special guest speakers — a series which offered the Augusta College community the opportunity to learn a great deal about Japan, its people, and their lifestyles. The Cullum Lecture Series is an educational pro- gram which enables interested persons to further their knowledge of foreign cultures, concentrating primarily on those nations which exert considerable influence on the international level. The series is open to all A.C. faculty and students, as well as to all Augusta residents. msiFg £)Afooco The sun gods and goddesses were out of luck for a while on May 30, 1984 due to a total eclipse of the heart, no sun. Even though Augusta was not in the direct path of the shadow, we did experience some darkening and cooler temperatures during the eclipse. The peak of the eclipse, when the moon fully covered the sun, happened in Augusta at approximately 12:26 p.m. Atlanta, however, was in the direct path of the umbra. This was the last major solar eclipse of this century. The next one will occur in the year 2017. For those of us hoping to be out of college by then, we had only this one chance to celebrate Eclipse Day at A.C. Most people gathered in front of the C.A.C. with their sunglasses; some teachers let their classes experience the eclipse while others played baseball with a ping-pong ball and tennis racket in honor of Augusta College ' s first annual Eclipse Day. Fortunately, it is no longer necessary to sacrifice a virgin in order to dispell the eclipse and appease the god ' s anger — it ' s just as r -► ii ' « m ' Trauma Time Final exams are drawing nearer; It ' s trauma time. Visions of F ' s are getting clearer; It ' s trauma time. All through my late night study, speed, no doze, and Brim I panic because it ' s trauma time. Why did I wait so long to study or buy the book? Cliff Notes have always been my buddy; I ' ll take a look. My eyes are road maps, and my nerves are shot to hell; Let ' s get drunk because it ' s trauma time! Sung to the tune of Twilight Time Cram It! You ' ve played all quarter. And you ' ve let it slide. Those books and projects Have been pushed aside. Now time is running out. And there ' s no place to hide, So cram it! Cram It! Finals again! Oh, damn it! Cram some more history.

Well- sian type of time machine? It was the famous year of George Orwell ' s novel which depicted the depersonal- ization of mankind and the ever watchful eye of Big Brother. During this school year, Augusta Mayor Ed Mclntyre was found quilty of corruption in office and sentenced to five years in prison. Sheriff J.B. Dykes was also found guilty of malfeasance in office and sentenced to four years in prison. Ben Crenshaw, a Texan, won the 1984 Masters, somewhat compensat- ing for Texas ' 10-9 loss to Georgia in the ' 84 Cotton Bowl. Also in 1984, Georgia ' s first heart transplant operation was performed at University Hospital. Au- gusta College acquired property for the construction of dormitories. On the international and national levels. President Reagan signed a bill which raised the legal drinking age to 21. Shirley MacClaine finally won an Oscar for Terms of Endearment , 1984 ' s best picture. The U.S.S.R. refused to participate in the Olympics, and New Orleans hosted the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition. Vanessa Williams was chosen the first black Miss America, and Geraldine Ferraro was select- ed as the first woman vice-presidential running mate. Breakdancing was the rage, and on the contemporary music scene it was Michael Jackson, Boy George and Culture Club, and the Eurythmics. All in all — it was an unforgettable year!

Dykes Augusta College was chartered in 1925 as the Junior College of Augusta. Fifty years later, A.C. administration, faculty, staff, alumni, and students celebrated half a century of educational progress. In preparation for this celebration. Dr. Ca- shin researched A.C. ' s history and traced it to the Academy of Richmond County, one of our nation ' s oldest high schools. A.R.C. was founded in 1783, a date which should be shared by Augusta Col- lege since several other schools in Geor- gia use founding dates of institutions from which they originated. Presently, the University of Georgia is considered Georgia ' s oldest institution of higher education, having been found- ed in 1785. The proposal to change A.C. ' s founding date to 1783, two years prior to U.G.A. ' s, was brought before the Board of Regents July 10th. Unfortunately, the Board rejected this proposal because U.G.A. is planning its 200th birthday celebration in 1985, and such a change in U.G.A. ' s standing would detract from its celebration. President Christenberry stated in a press conference that we would use these two years to gather fur- ther evidence to support the proposal to change Augusta College ' s founding date to 1783. Meanwhile, we students anx- iously await the certain upcoming 2 — birthday celebration here at Augusta College! - -— ' -.
