Majoring in Elementary Education is Tabitha Brown Carrigan. Tabby's ho- metown is Bon Aqua, Tenn. While at Austin Peay she participated in Chi Omega Sorority, Little Sigmas and var- ious intramural sports. Tabby was Sig- ma Chi's 1975 Sweetheart and 1976 Miss APSU. ltThe academics were of the scope that l was seeking, commented Tabby when asked why she came to APSU. 'tl also like the size of the university. It was big enough to meet many new peo- ple and yet small enough to participate in the various functions the campus had to offer. Portland, Tenn., is the hometown of Anthony Dale Corky Carter. After graduation Corky plans to become a teacher of English and also to coach football. While at The Peay he was a member of the Student Government Association and the National Student Education Association. Corky served as a student trainer for football, basket- ball, baseball and track. He was also senior class president. The atmosphere of Austin Peay is very condusive to intellectual persuits as well as offering a variety of social activities. It is just the right size - large enough to offer many programs and allows one to meet new people and yet small enough that much of the red tape and headaches are eliminated, remarked Corky. After graduation Carolyn Clark plans to work in the field of urban affairs and public administration and to continue her education. While at The Peay, Carolyn held membership in the Laurel Wreath Hon- or Society and the Political Science As- sociation. When asked what she thought of Carter's administration Carolyn said, HI believe there will be a trend toward honesty in Government and a more bu- reaucratic government. Mascot, Tenn., is the hometown of Marjorie Cobb. Margie's major while in college has been sociology. She held membership in Chi Omega Sorority and the APSU Marching Band. She also served as head majorette for the band. Margie remarks, t'l had some friends who attended AP and they influenced my decision to come here. And I am very glad I did.

Grace Bonecutter Antioch, Tenn. is the hometown of Paula Kay Batson. Her major is busi- ness administration. Paula holds mem- bership in Phi Chi Theta, Golden Hearts of Sigma Phi Epsilon and the American Marketing Association. Paula thinks there are several rea- sons for Austin Peay's growth. tlThe winning basketball team has brought a little fame to APSU. I believe that is what first brings the college to the at- tention of high school students looking for a college. Then when he looks deep- er into the school, he sees the advan- tages of a small school, the high aca- demic standards and the increasing so- cial activities available for students. Grace Minor Bonecutter holds mem- bership in Phi Chi Theta, Laurel Wreath Society, Little Sigmas, Chi Omega So- rority and the University Choir. Her major field is business administration. Grace is very interested in fraternity life. HFraternity life has been a valuable growing and learning experience during my college years. I have found that in- dividuality has the opportunity to flour- ish among friends who love and re- spect you for being you, and who don't expect you to conform to their way of thinking. My greatest memories of col- lege will include each and every one of my sisters and all of the activities we Diane Brown have enjoyed through our fraternal bond. Working for the Civil Service Com- missioner and starting on her MBA are Patricia Bridentstine's plans after graduation. Patricla's hometown is London, Ohio, and her major is busi- ness administration. Patricia feels AP's growth can be contributed partly to the nearness of Ft. Campbell and to the many degrees APSU has to offer. .After graduation, Diana Moore Brown plans to go to Monterey, Calif., to study Chinese. Business administra- tion and marketing is her major. Diana holds membership in the Marketing Club and Phi Chi Theta Business Fra- ternity. HPerhaps the greatest thing that Austin Peay - or any university e offers is a feeling of friendship; a feeling that you are not a stranger. There is a feeling of camaraderie among the stu- dents that makes everyone feel like a part of the university scene and not a piece of the furniture. If this feeling can be maintained throughout Austin Peay's growth periods, then the uni- versity will retain its own unmistakable flair. Let's not become strangers, re- marks Diana.
