J ' SOUTHERN GAINS NEW PRESIDENT IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH SOUTHERN ACCENT— PRESIDENT HOUNSHELL TELLS HIS PLANS FOR ' SOUTHERN ' S FUTURE ACCENT: What exactly is your relation to the Board of Trustees in the operation of Birmingham — Southern. Dr. Hounshell? DR. HOUNSHELL: To explain my role in the operation of this college let me use the analogy of a large business corporation. At the head of the corporation there will be a body known as the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees from which the corpo- ration derives all of its authority. Normally the men composing such a board are not associated full time with the institution they represent — quite often the mem- bers are affiliated with other in- stitutions which may or may not operate in the same area. Thus to adequately discharge their re- sponsibilities, the Board requires a link between itself and the day- to-day operation of the institu- tion. The president of a corpora- tion or college provides the link necessary to the maintenance and operation of the entity which the Board represents. ACCENT: Dr. Hounshell, are we to understand that a college is a legal entity akin to a corpo- ration? If so, are you then in a position subsidiary to our Board of Trustees and thus charged pri- marily with the operation of the college and implementation of directives from the Board? DR. HOUNSHELL: Generally speaking, yes. You see, the col- lege IS the Board of Trustees in a legal sense. At the inception of this College, the Board of Trust- ees met and devised a charter with which it hoped to institute a college providing education in a Christian environment. Thus Bir- mingham-Southern College de- rives its authority, its legal exis- tence from the Board of Trust- ees; the Board has final power in all matters pertaining to the op- eration or expansion of the col- lege. I, as President of the College, am an appointee of the Board encharged with the execu- tion of policies as set forth in the charter and in the semiannual Board meeting. ACCENT: Just how active is the Board of Trustees in the opera- ti on of this college? What crite- ria does the Board apply in either approving or rejecting pro- posals brought before it? DR. HOUNSHELL: To answer your first question, the Board only meets twice a year and then only for a short time at each meeting. Consequently only ma- jor proposals are considered: routine matters are handled with- in the existing administrative ma- chinery of the college. For example, the purchase of addi- tional furniture for the dormito- ries would be handled through the Treasurer. Another example would be the various deans — Deans Abernethy, Whetstone. Cochran, and Sturrock in their various offices. ACCENT: 1 see, how then does the Board decide on the more important issues brought before it? DR. HOUNSHELL: In deciding whether to reject or accept a pro- posal the Board applies two ma- jor criteria. Firstly, the Board must decide as to whether or not the proposal in question assists in fulfilling the function of the College — that is to provide edu- cational opportunities and facil- ities for the students since THEY ARE THE COLLEGE. Secondly, the Board must con- sider the limitations of the col- lege ' s ability to best discharge its educational duty. To clarify, can the college carry out the propos- al without impairing other as- pects of its program considered equally vital. An example might be that necessary new construc- tion would have to be postponed because it would dig too deeply into the endowment of the col- lege. I think you can see then that the Board may be compelled to reject some proposals simply because of their lack of feasibil- ity. Essentially, these are the ma- jor criteria that the Board must apply to any question coming be- fore it for consideration. ACCENT: Now that you have clarified your role and the Board ' s role — w here does the typical Birmingham-Southern student fit? DR. HOUNSHELL: Of course no college can exist without its students and faculty. I have great faith in today ' s student. The goal of most students is an education- al experience that will meet their needs in today ' s world. Most stu- dents are not interested in de- stroying the college; they are in- terested in inspiring the college: they want it to be more adequate and more relevant. The survival of the college is threatened less by student unrest than by the existence of condi- tions against which the students are protesting. There should be a genuine attempt on the part of the faculty and administration to communicate with students about these conditions. And, in so far as colleges are able to es- tablish a sense of community — the community of learners, some senior and some junior, all en- gaged in the common enterprise of searching for truth and mean- ing — the survival of the college will be assured. ACCENT: Would it be correct, Dr. Hounshell, in assuming that you foresee an active role for stu- dents in Birmingham-Southern College? DR. HOUNSHELL: Yes, I would like to be very open- minded about the way in which educational programs should de- velop, but I am enough of a tra- ditionalist to believe that some structuring from the top is neces- sary. However, the students would certainly not be precluded from carrying out an active role within the college. We are search- ing for the truth in meaning, and ideally, there should be no in- compatibility among students, the administration, and the fac- ulty in striving to reach this goal. If I had to define a good college succinctly, I would say: Good professors, good students, and a reasonable opportunity for them to get together. ACCENT: Dr. Hounshell, in general, what do you foresee years ahead for Birmingham- Southern College? DR. HOUNSHELL: As you know, we are now working with grants supplied from various foundations, for example, the Ford Foundation, and I would hope that we would be able to implement the requirements in the next several years. Various improvements that I envision within the next five to ten years would be construction of new dormitories, new library, and new gymnasium. We feel that our enrollment will be fif- teen hundred students, half again as many as we have now; thus we will have to expand to meet the needs of a student body. ACCENT: How will the Bir- mingham-Southern student of the future differ from those of to- day? DR. HOUNSHELL: Bir- mingham-Southern is a regional college primarily, and undoubt- edly a preponderant number of our students will continue from the immediate region. However, we desire to have enough stu- dents from outside the region to keep BSC from becoming pro- vincial and yet we would hope to have enough from within the re- gion to give it character along with geographic diversity in our student body, we would also hope for a variety of different s o c i o — economic backgrounds which would enable students to attend regardless of financial conditions. Birmingham-Southern College has a role to fulfill within the community as well as its academ- ic duties. A combination of good students, good faculty, and imag- inative programs would assure attainment of the goals of this college. This is MY hope. ACCENT: Thank you. Dr. Hounshell. FEATURE ARTICLES THIS IS BIRMINGHAM-SOUTHERN The history of BSC has a cycle of vigor- ous innovations, secret doubts, administra- tive bogging-down, impatient reactions . . . all the emotions and pressures that are not the atmosphere but the sustenance of a college. THE AGE OF AQUARIUS With the dawning of a new astrological age — AQ U A R I U S — Birmingham-Southern seeks new beauties. Resplendent in beads, braids, silks and blue jeans, the casual ac- ceptance of creativity and individuality is ex- tended to all — so that each girl can experi- ence pride in being what she is. THE SURVIVAL OF SPORTS The survival of Birmingham-Southern ' s Collegiate sports program was endangered last year by the College ' s financial crisis. Dibble — dabble the money came in from other college organizations, such as Publica- tions, who gave money out of their own tight funds to insure the surviva l of athletic com- petition at ' Southern. THIS IS BIRMINGHAM Birmingham — a small town the size of a city, veiled in oblivion yet famous for its in- justices, built between two mountains: one crowned with Vulcan, The Club, and beauti- ful homes; the other covered with smoke- belching steel mills. It is often called the Magic City, yet we know better. THIS IS THE WORLD The students of BSC are for here — for 7!Ovv. They constitute the efforts of a depth exploration of the harmonies and the con- flicts existing between man and nature. They are engaged in a quest to reveal what was in the beginning, and what results man in his ignorance has produced.

We, the students, are the College. Some of us don ' t seem to know quite what we ' re doing here. The Board of Trustees climb laboriously from their Cadillacs twice a year to veto our requests. The new President is at a loss for words. Greeks and Independents remain at their respective poles. We talk incessantly about studying and bemoan our literary overloads. Our professors urge the memorization of inconsequential facts which we dutifully barf up on exams, damning the System all the while. Budget cuts have hurt all departments. The Education Department is wretched; the Gym is caving in; the practice rooms in Hill Music Hall aren ' t soundproof. Roaches and mice pay their nocturnal visits to the dorms; cafeteria food is looking up. And still we pay about $2,000 a year and hope that the SGA will tidy up every- thing. This is Mrs. Dudley, the only woman on second floor Munger — Mt. Olym- pus — who will give aid to the enemy (that ' s us . . Mrs. Dudley has helped us graduate when we thought v - ' d never get out; she has gi tten us out of the draft, soothed our psyches wounded from inevitable brushes with professors. She never raises her voice, she smiles, and every damned body in Munger could take a little lesson from her: she cares enough to give us her time! t rf ' f. 1 : The Snavely Student Center, named in honor of Dr. Guy E. Snavelv. Chancellor of Birmingham-Southern and President of the College. 1921-38 and 1955-57, is the hub of out-of-class activities on campus. In one building can be found: the cafeteria; faculty and student lounges; the snack bar; the bookstore; and the offices for the Dean of Students. Dean of Women. Student Government, and Campus Publications. yg||g 10 11 r il L-s t n V ••••.aO -_ .. ' ' ? n u. A college is the place where one learns — all about Englica, his- torica, mathematica, scientifica, and all the other academica which scholars have been compiling for ages. In all the turbulence of the modern college era, institutions are losing by degrees their traditional- ism in procedures. Birmingham-Southern, however, retains traces of these memorial acts in rare moments, namely at convocation and grad- uation. What student doesn ' t thrill at the sight of dignified professors garbed in all the splendor of black gowns, delivering speeches filled with those glorious ten dollar words. Oh, the magnificence of it all, seeing the profs parade! ' ' M I I Vi- mM y y ,f . m i ' tm « .:? ' ' -i«-:_!t« ' % fMi fcilll v ■ ' -- ' - Jg -i6 The present student generation is characterized by one factor which sets it apart from the quiet generation of the Fifties. Today ' s col- lege years are marked by the search for meaningful values and an iden- tity that depends on them. - _- jw« . X Social psychologists point out that today ' s college youth are the first to recognize and react to the disparity between this nation ' s words and its deeds. A nation professes Christian love, yet spends eighty per- cent of its income on the machinery of war. 15 ll There is a kind of awe which invades the artistic side of campus at the expectation of a performance or showing. Art at Southern is ex- pressed in many forms: music, painting, sculpture, theater, dance; and a kind of awe pervades the artistic side of campus at the expectation of a performance or showing. Those who become involved submerge themselves, body and mind, in their art . . . and all of ' Southern bene- fits from their expressions of life and abstracts. 16 n 17 fT ' HP - !: ..- - ' V |fi The mixture of traditional and modern round structure blends the feeling of unity between Meyer Planetarium and Yeilding Chapel. The Heavens declare the glory of God, words inscribed at the entrance of the planetarium, fuse the search for knowledge of the marvels of outer space and the search for a relationship with God. ' Southern has an intangible, or at least an elusive, quality which sets it apart. This quality produces estrangement and affection, loyalty and distaste in relatively equal amounts; it is this quality which pro- duces the need for occasional self isolation. •r- : -, ' • ' ' • ' .: ■  . lt¥ ■, « ' ' i V ■: 20 The dorm quadrangle is vari- ously the scene for abortive panty-raids, impromptu football games and brief, oh so brief ro- mances. Couples can be found entwined in lovers knots in al- most every nook and shadow. Then the hour strikes, and the girls ' chastity is saved for yet an- other night. Ah, life at Birming- ham-Southern! r Birmingham-Southern stands as a citadel of indifference. Ob- serving the atmosphere of stu- dent unrest at ' Southern is as ex- citing as watching rubber rot. This isn ' t to say that the stu- dent body is a nonentity devoid of personaHty. However, as m any institution with few common bonds of unity, the goals and ideals of BSC students are not easily defined. Ends and means are the most common indicators of student individuality. Unfor- tunately, Southern students are too characterized not by their approach to a problem but by their total lack of interest in it. 25 LJU ' B.n THB raoon is m thb SEj )EsrJTIf KOUSB, «tT3D aUPTTBT? ftLIGTlS LJITH THBTJ PBRfiB ZaIILU fiUID-B THE PLRDRTS, RT3D LOMR LJILL STBRR THE.

They are ad- vocates of higher love, friendship and brotherhood, preferring to live and let live — unless they happen to be perpetrating change through violent, but not nec- essarily bloody, revolution. Favorite Melanie Cobb represents Aquarious. (The Fish) Feb. 19-Mar. 20: Pisceans swim toward both good times and con- templations on a higher plane. Difficulty in choos- ing may lead to excesses but they remain gentle be- hind a disgruntled appearance. Favorite Jenny Hul- sey represents Pisces. 34 (The Ram) Mar. 21- Apr. 19: Arians have as their symbol the new- born baby contemplating his own fingers and toes. Born leaders, always taking charge, they are direct, courageous, volatile, and as powerful as an atom blast: they are also inclined to be belligerent and egotistical. Arians are well-qual- ified generals and empire builders. Favorite Anne Leary represents Aries. 35 REPRESENTING WOMEN ' S INTRAMURALS scorpio x -rvt M ' -Jr ' ■• A Wi ' 3 cJeeA w e M REPRESENTING KAPPA PI GEmini (The Twins) May 21 -June 21: Gemi- nians are bright, agile, and have quicksilver qualities that make them masters of communications — electronics, books, telephones, public relations; physical and mental dexterity makes them quick-change artists, sleight-of- hand experts and nimble liars; they are always late. Favorite Barbie Lesch represents Gemini. f m I ' f Z H I 15 The Bull) Apr. 20-May 20: Taureans are extravagantly sensual, loving such luxuries as bubble baths, soft blankets and lavish banquets, as well as more earthy pleasures; they are flag-wavers, quick to cry my country right or wrong.

Honor, a familiar word on ' Southern ' s campus, most often used in reference to codes, councils, or clubs, can become truly meaning- ful only when it describes in- dividuals, working together as a concerned body. Do ' Southern ' s honoraries f i t this description? Several organizations on campus have been set up in various fields to serve dual purposes — f i r s t, to honor those who have made spe- cial contributions in t h e s e fields, and secondly, to es- tablish a group which may meet together to discuss the field of interest and to share information and experiences. One such group is Kappa Pi, an international art hon- orary. All members are art majors who have been cho- sen by means of exceptional grades in the art c o u r s e s which they have taken. Pres- ent members include Becky Rogers, Don Drenning, Jim Neel, Melody Rogers, Jim Flowers, Stan McGehee, Sue Waters, and WiUiam Whit- son. Kappa Delta Epsilon is an honorary organiza- tion for women who have shown themselves to be out- standing in the field of edu- cation. Requirements for membership include main- taining a 3.0 average in edu- cation courses and an over- all 2.0 average. 50 ' -J.- The Honor Council at ' Southern is responsible for acquainting all new students with the terms and impor- tance of the Honor Code and for enforcing that code through investigation of re- ported violations. The Council consists of the Dean s, one faculty member and ten students an- nually elected by the Student Government Legislature. This year ' s student members include President Dickey Stanford, Herschel Hamner. Bill Davidson, Bill Murray, Sally Proctor, Laura Jo Wil- bourn. Jo Madden, Ruth Strong, Carol Newsom, and Jay Thomas. 51 52 The Triangle Club is one of the more active organiza- tions on campus. The ser- vices performed by mem- bers of the Triangle Club in- clude assisting with registra- tion and orientation, serving as ushers at college presen- tations, helping out at the autumn and spring visits, and welcoming any week- end visitors to Birmingham Southern. All members of the Triangle Club are se- lected each year from the freshman class by the out- going members. Qualifica- tions for membership are scholarship, leadership, and the willingness to serve — each quality representing a point on the triangle. The president of the Triangle Club this year is Jay Thomas. Alpha Lambda Delta is a national scholastic honorary for freshman women. In or- der to become a member, one must have a 3.5 scho- lastic average. Members are selected during their fresh- man year and serve actively as sophomores. This year ' s members include Anne Jor- don, president; Debbie Bliss, secretary; Judy Carmichael, treasurer; Karen Tom, edi- tor; Susan Grawemeyer; Lynda King; Ellen Kirven; Ellen McFerrin; Mary Mc Gehee; and Marilyn Brown. Phi Eta Sigma, a scholas- tic honorary for freshman boys, recognizes those who have worked hard to suc- cessfully maintain good grades. Members are se- lected by grade point aver- age alone. All freshman boys who maintain a grade point average of 3.5 during their first term, first term and interim term, or the two terms during their freshman year are included as mem- bers. These boys are elected in their freshman year and serve as active members during their sophomore year. Officers of the club this year are: President, Steve Lyrene; Vice Presi- dent, Doug Burnette; Secre- tary-Treasurer, Wayne Kil- lian; and Historian, Hobby Presly. Other members pres- ently include Gene Faucette, Jerry Wayne Powell, James Foster Quinn, Christopher Truss, and John Northrop. 53 HOUSE COUNCILS REGULATE DORM ACTIVITIES 1970 The Men ' s House Coun- cil at ' Southern was set up with the optimistic hope that its members would become trustworthy advisors to freshman boys and often confided-in counselors for the personal problems of all. Members are Bill David- son, Watrous Garrett, Salem Saloom, Harold Wehby, John Snead, David Hargett, Henry Kwong, Bob George, Bob Howard, Freddy Neil, and Edmon McKinley. 54 Members of the Women ' s House Council are elected early in the fall term. One or two representatives are elected from each hall. These girls meet to discuss and attempt to solve any problems which may arise in the dorms. Members of the House Council are also responsible for upholding all dorm rules and regula- tions. These girls try to maintain quiet on the halls, see that the right person an- swers the telephone, and be sure that everyone is in the dorm before curfew. Any demerits given are issued by these girls. 55 Members of the Caduce- us Club include any stu- dents interested in the field of medicine or in a study of the medical sciences. The club serves to bring together all students interested in the medical sciences, to keep its members in contact with professional school require- ments, to sponsor speakers, and to plan social gather- ings. The club is named af- ter the serpent entwined on the staff of Hermes, the pa- tron of physicians. Members meet monthly in Phillips Annex 126. A n n u a 1 dues are one dollar. The officers for the 1969-70 school year are Jean Butts, president; James Pickett, vice presi- dent; and Doug Burnette, Treasurer. Dr. HoUiman is the club ' s advisor. The American Chemical Society is a nationally cited professional club for chem- istry majors. This is one of the larger organizations on the ' Southern campus. The club, through a variety of programs and speakers strives to make an outstand- ing contribution to chemical education. 56 57 SOUTHERNACCENTQUADSOUTHERNERBS «ISC coavnoxNa33VN iaHinosl3 ss5 i3N HHxaos( HERNACCENTQUADSOUTHERNERBS CCSOUTH lOiNHDDVN aHinosi ssi aNHHHxnosavf I C-LER.

SKATES STEVEKigoN DIED: ESSAI, ' Southern ' s on- ly truly liberal publication; the magazine ' s editors, Pam Skates and Ben Windham, had been at work on the year ' s first issue containing the results of their campus-power poll, which was to present the students ' s views on administrative policies, drugs, and the state of dissent on the BSC campus. Supported solely by student subscriptions, ESSAI seriously lacked funds necessary for publication; waning student interest and scarcity of staff did nothing to abet the magazine ' s image, racially over-zealous and increasingly lackluster since its inception in spring of 1968; of atrophy and apathy on Decem- ber 1 6. 1 969. 62 THE SOUTHERNER, Birmingham-Southern College ' s privileged periodical, has in keeping with the policy of all the other publications cha nged, too. For the first time ever, it is read from cover to cover because for the first time ever, the material pre- sented is up-to-date, interesting, and reflective of intelligent writing. Jerry Kennedy, the editor, deserves great accolade for the job that he has done, and at the time of this writ- ing, our only hope is that, on his unrealistically low budget, he can keep up the stan- dards of THE SOUTHERNER. 63 HDLU5 HU OER Wicker. 64 McCARTY c HEFFER FLOWERS ASHWORTH ' OMS YARBROaoH SOUTHERN ACCENT STAFF This, the SOUTHERN ACCENT for 1970 is unlike any other yearbook in the history of Birmingham-South- ern College. It has more color than any previous book, and many innovative changes that we think make it a better book than ever before. It is, as you probably have noticed, not centered so much around the physical school to which we trudge every morning at the latest possible moment, but it is centered around an idea — the idea that our world is a changeable thing and we are changing it. We feel that for the first time in our experience there is a new mood that pervades the smoggy atmosphere here on campus. It is a mood of change from the conformist College Joe and Sorority Sue institution to a commu- nity of free thinking individ- uals. It is a mood of change from total apathy and lack of interest to some semblance of caring what happens at our college. In less than a year, the spirit behind campus activ- ities has taken on a new brand of enthusiasm. With the com- ing of a new president, a new found freedom of expression has also descended upon the campus. Last year the Mora- torium would never have hap- pened and the administration would never even have admit- ted the existence of grafiti. Last year, probably no more than 20% of the students at Southern had ever even heard of Allen Ginsburg and yet this year his coming was heralded with a fervor unlike anything a homecoming basketball- game ever saw. The atmosphere at Birming- ham-Southern is changing. We hope that you feel as we do that this book symbolizes this change in a meaningful and lasting way. This has been our goal and here is our pro- duct. i f v: ' r 1 jK ,te 70 ■tr y ;, X i ' ' H M 7) Many students do not re- alize that there is another office of publications on campus. In this office, Mr. Asa Green, Mr. Jim Gil- lespy, Mr. Gil Rogers, and Mrs. Linda Suggs carry on the work of producing the school ' s publications and news releases. The bureau also includes student assis- tants — Vaughney Baby, Buzzy, and John-John. 72 73 HOWARD ' S IMPOSSIBLE DREAM! The S.G.A. is not a major power figure, though it does at- tempt its responsibility. Its task is impossible. S.G.A. President, Ed Howard, feels he has accom- plished his task, by first doing everything possible about the situations and second, attempt- ing through a new constitution to give the S.G.A. and the students a source of power. When progress is aborted by ignorance and misunderstanding, for restitution, we must turn to .someone armed with the sword of communication. SGA secre- tary Ann Leary, having seen her obligations as extending beyond those executable on a steno pad or typewriter, has taken the task of communication as her own. This u uk M6n oeris OKI Ji£T NAm _ S C a The balancing of a budget is a task the difficulty of which is governed by t w o factors — the size of the budget and the num- ber of needs to be satisfied by its allocations. The existence of a budget too small to meet the needs occurring under it is an un- fortunate situation. Faced with a cut in an a 1 r e a d y inadequate budget, SGA treasurer David Hargett must be commended if only for the f a c t that the SGA was financially able to exist throughout the entire year. In no other aspect of Student Government work is the problem of providing adequate service with inadequate funds more re- straining than is to the Activities Council. Vice-President Freddie Neil has listened to the demands of students for more and better entertainment. In his attempts to meet these demands, he has had to contend with a reduced bud- get. Like all o t h e r officers, he has had to interpret his task as improbable rather than as im- possible, and then forgetting the odds, perform. 75 Dr. Henry Randall has served as Faculty Advisor of the SGA for several years. He has been re- elected by each new Legislature primarily because of his eager- ness to understand the student ' s problems and his willingness to work for the alleviation of these problems. 76 Walter Browning served the students for the second year as their mediator with the forces of evil in the cafeteria. This years Food Service Committee recom- mended the institution of Slater ' s Food Catering Service. 77 Senior Class Representatives — Walter Browning, Jerry Ken- nedy. Junior Class Representa- tives — Lucy Brown, Herschel Hamner. Sophomore Class Rep- resentatives — Barbara Croft, Jeff M u e 1 e r. Freshman Class Representatives — D avid Cal- h o u n, Dianne DeBardeleben. Greek Representatives — Kay Carlton, Thomas Cline. Indepen- dent Representatives Bob Corley, Watrous Garrett.

Because the work required is extensive, students outside the Legislature must frequently be called upon to help the SGA in performing its duties. The SGA is indebted to Carol Barnes, (rt.). Chairman of the Elections Board, and to Susan Proctor (below), Recording Secretary. The major theme of every of SGA is Do the impossible. This year has been no exception. If a student runs for the Student Leg- islature for the Glory of it, he will forget any glory involved as soon as the work begins and stu- dents begin to make their demands on their representatives. The de- mands on Marilyn Brown, Chair- man of the Public Relations Com- mittee, are more than just making posters — she and her committee must create interest and involve- ment. The responsibilities of Bill Eiland and Laura Jo Wilborn, Chairman and Co-Chairman of their newly-created Academic Evaluation Committee, include more than evaluating; they in- clude correcting injustices in the academic program and thereby strengthening the program. Lucy Brown, Chairman of the Student Services Committee, is required to do much more than just com- pile complaints: Her real work is to act as quickly and as effec- tively as possible. The Chairman of t h e Operations Committee, Barbara Croft ' s job does not end with supplying the Legislature with office supplies; she must try to raise enough money to keep the Legislature operating at all. Jeff Mueller, Chairman of Inter-Collegiate Relations Committee, likewise has more to do than arrange the annual inter- collegiate exchange. He has tak- en on the obligation to purge Birmingham-Southern from its history of isolationism. The obli- gations placed on some of the legislators may indeed seem at times to be impossible. For them, as for the entire SGA; they must assume even the impossible to be possible. If situations prevent them from doing their jobs, then their job must begin with chang- ing the situation. The student legislature in any one year may decide to accept the impossibility as such and avoid frustration. The Legislature has levied a campaign against those situa- tions such as the existing power cture, lack of communica- tion, and insufficient funds which have too long hampered any progress. 79 One of the major functions of the Student Government Activi- ties Council is the annual Miss Southern Accent Pageant. Plans for the pageant begin in the Spring of the year when the Vice- President began his search for a band. The problem arises from the need to find a band with a large enough name to attract an audience and a small price. This year ' s V.P., Freddie Neil con- tracted the Classics IV. Even though they had out a hit and had made hits in the past, they appeared at ' Southern gross, un- couth, and loud. Sue Edmunds was appointed to the position of chairman of the Miss Southern Accent Pag- eant. The climax of Sue ' s activi- ties is represented on these pages; however, there was much more that Sue had to organize behind t h e scenes. First, there was the beauty walk, followed by the student vote and the elimina- tion to the semi-finalists. Judges were selected and introduced to the contestants at a formal inter- view. Then followed a tea and the annual banquet. The banquet was held at Paul ' s Lamplighter Inn and its guest list included the President and Deans of the col- lege, the S O U T H E R N AC- CENT Editor, and the Vice- President of the S.G.A. Meanwhile, t h e decorations were being planned for the Mun- ger stage. As Ed Howard stated some means had to be found to turn utter sterility into a thing of beauty. So, behind the scenes were the all-nighters in Munger building and painting props, ar- ranging and rearranging, and trying to figure out what to do with a hundred yards of red silk. The night before the perfor- mance was the rehearsal to insure the girls against falling off the stage or running into columns. Then the big night — there were no calamities (unless you count the fact that Miss Southern Ac- cent 1969 and one of the contes- tants wore the same exact dress). 80 I: ' •: aaaCr-:- -■■ ■: ■-.%■?•.- -s? 9 .k •• r, ' rfSV-c. m- - V T; - ; ' . - ;.:j ? - ■- ! ■ .

' Southern has always been known for its academ- ics, but has never been rec- ognized as a bastion of physical prowess. Yet, this year the already crumbling bastion received an even more humiliating blow. Due to deficit spending, the ad- ministration decided to make up the loss by cutting the budget of several organi- zations and departments. The academic departments were not cut so badly as to impair function. However, the sports department lost the Swimming, Tennis, Golf and Baseball teams. The Student Government Association, quick to recog- nize any difficulty, immedi- ately set a b o u t to remedy the situation. Acting presi- dent Al Pearson felt the S.G.A. budget itself could be cut to replace the money. The S.G.A. met and decided the best place to cut would be to cut the ' SOUTHERN- ER ' S budget in half and completely demolish ' SOUTHERN ACCENT and QUAD. However, a compromise was reached when the S.G.A. realized that it would be ridiculous to s p e n d $4,800.00 on a ' Southern Accent Pageant w i t h o u t a ' SOUTHERN ACCENT. As is evident, the ' SOUTHERN AC- CENT and QUAD are alive and functioning in Argen- tina, but unfortunately are not well. As is also evident, the sports program (of sorts) and Mary Poppins are still with us. 82 83 Miss Elizabeth Davis, Associate director of Physical Education directs the Annual Water Ballet which is usually performed during the Christ- mas or Easter Season.

The season began with the election of Joan Hopping as head cheerleader and Lucy Brown, Lydia Cheney, Lynda Smyley, Millicent Ray, and Sarah Wicker. The cheerleaders awarded two spirit trophies to the sorority, fraternity or independent group who showed their support of the teams by ac- cumulating the most spirit points. Points were given for banners, mini-floats, posters, and overall enthusi- asm. Joan Hopping and Lydia Cheney went to a cheer- leader clinic at Mississippi -Southern in Hattiesburg. Once there, they won four first places in small group competition and brought back some very different cheers. One of the most unusual was UMM — beep, beep; Umm — beep-beep; Umm-beep, beep; Quack, Quack; Now gimme some slack!! And if you don ' t, I won ' t scratch your back. But if you do, I swear I ' ll cheer for you. WE GOT SOUL!! So let ' s go! Enthusiasm and spirit — These exemplified the cheerleaders — but most important, THEIR SKIRTS ARE TEN INCHES SHORTER!!!!!!! , i «!?fS£5i;tj .« ' = ■ y W i f -t- ' ' i.K - s -j riy 86 :■ «4 A ' twAsia jtk ' if 87 The 1969-70 Basketball team only lost two seniors from the p r e V i o u s year.

Mr. Thomas made his debut as a conductor in Town Hall in New York; he has composed songs, anthems, Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra and Suite for Two Pianos ; the latter has been per- formed in the United States and Europe. Mr. Thomas directs the Birmingham-Southern College Concert Choir and the Men ' s Choir. Music at Birmingham South- ern traditionally has been an im- portant part of the curriculum. The department is housed in the new J.B. Hill Music Building, which provides complete class- room, practice, and recital facili- ties. The choir tours reach ma- jor centers east of Old Man River — New Orleans, Miami, New York — all on a chartered bus. The result: a numbing ex- perience, but music-making seems to flourish even after a ten day bus ride. Ten former students and five members of the faculty have made successful musical de- buts in New York. Others have been awarded Fulbright, Wood- row Wilson and Southern Fel- lowships. The last three win- ners of the Miss Alabama title and the reigning Maid of Cotton are in the Music Department. Enough? — There is more but, with restraint, pass it by and return to the world of academe by mentioning the f a c t t h a t ' Southern has been an institu- tional member of the National Association of Schools of Music since 1933. 96 97 P F w 4r ' •«m,,. 98 I w e £ A 1 i m .- v j j v • ' IS I H Raymond Floyd Ander- wmm son, B.A., Maryville Col- m lA .

The season opened on October 4 with two one-act plays directed by John Thomas and Nikki Hearon as part of their work in the Directors ' Lab course. First was THE LAND OF HEART ' S DESIRE by William Butler Yeats, a poetic drama about a romantic young bride whose soul is enchanted away from the tedious security of her new home to the fascinating but fatal land of Faery. THE DUMBWAITER, a bleakly comic play by Harold Pinter, followed in sharp contrast. Here two characters wait for something in the basement of an old hotel to the accompaniment of a clanking dumbwaiter. They are driven to a frenzy trying to fill the orders that come down from the person up- stairs. Three one-act plays, directed by Melanie Cobb, Don Higdon, and Mary Boone, were presented on October 18. Arthur Kopit ' s play, SING TO ME THROUGH OPEN WIN- DOWS, portrayed an aging musician, attended on or dominated by a perplexing clown, who watches his youth and its magic slip quickly away. DEATHWATCH, a grimly tragic play by Jean Genet, concentrated on the warping of the relationships among three men imprisoned in a cell together and the eventual ruin they bring upon themselves. JOHNNY AMERICA COMES HOME, an original play by William Atkins, was a farcical treatment of the hack- neyed all-American dreamboy. The drama showed the lack of communication between parents and son. The first major production of the year was THE STRANGLER, an original play by Dr. Arnold Powell. THE STRAN- GLER was a delightful spoof of almost every- thing including the contemporary theatre. The play was framed by Andrew, an old actor, ex- pounding on the nature of what the theatre is not today. Other targets of the playwright ' s wit were the family as an institution and the domi- neering mother who rules it. Andrew begins the play as an old man, the father. Gin, his wife, rapidly reduces him to the husband, the lover, the son, the infant, and so on . . . while simply becoming more vital and energetic her- self. Other complications were provided by Annie, the older daughter whose great passion is burying things, one or more corpses in the basement, and the confusion of whether or not there really was a strangler. This production of THE STRANGLER was entered in the Ameri- can College Theatre Festival. f i ' f ' V ■ ' T 106 The next event, directed by Ed Peed, was UN- DER MILKWOOD by Dylan Thomas, a poetic drama describing a day in the life of the charac- ters who live in a Welsh town, Milkwood. The last event of the fall was a program of o ne-act plays directed by Laura Wells and Bo Walker. THE NEW TENANT, by Eugene lonesco, was a Theatre of the Absurd drama in which a man moving into an apartment was inundated by his own furniture. ESCURIAL, by Michel de Gheld- erode, a supernatural, baroque, sort of play, por- trayed a day in the life of a King and his com- panions waiting for death. UNCLE VANYA, a realistic play by Anton Chekhov set in Russia in the late 19th century, was presented January 16th through 20th. The play dramatized the tedium of a family living on a Russian country estate. The third major pro- duction, OPUS 2, was a Birmingham Festival of Arts event, loosely based on Shakespeare ' s KING LEAR. Developed through improvisalional tech- niques, the play changed the setting of LEAR to contemporary times and treated the LEAR theme in reverse. The final production was Moliere ' s THE DOCTOR IN SPITE OF HIMSELF, trans- lated and adapted by Pam Skates and Dr. Powell. This amusing French farce was done in the im- provisational style of the Commedia de TArtc. It skipped through the antics of a man catapulted against his will by a vengeful wife into becoming a doctor called to treat a love-sick girl. 107 V 108 SOUTHERN ' S CIVIC BALLET Karoly Barta, interna- tionally known figure in the dance world, returned to Birmingham this year to head the Birmingham Civic Ballet ' s program at Bir- mingham-Southern and as director of its school which has branches in all areas of Birmingham. Barta, gradu- ate of the Hungarian State Ballet Institute who escaped to this country during the 1956 Hungarian revolt against the Communists re- ported to Accent inter- viewer: I am happy to return to Birmingham so that I may continue building the ballet program at ' Southern. 1 am most impressed with our past season ' s results. Bir- mingham is a very receptive city for art, particularly bal- let. The quality and recep- tivity of the talent is un- usual, and I find ' Southern girls very enthusiastic and ready for good ballet train- ing. Hundreds of volunteers support this program both financially and by attending programs. They devote countless hours addressing, sewing on costumes, etc. The cooperation of our vol- unteers and their support makes me feel that ballet now has a firm grass roots ' interest in the greater Bir- mingham area that will con- tinue to grow. Karoly Barta spent the summer of 1969 in New York and Washington at- tending private seminars and workshops to increase his already great ability and kno wledge of his art. Barta is already a favorite among both his pupils and students who have become ac- quainted with him. He has already contributed a great deal to ' Southern. 1 ' i ?

As usual, stu- dents cried over closed classes while administration patted itself on the back for frustrating more people than ever before. In fact, the only thing unconventional about that registration day, was the presence of ' Southern ' s first black student. He cried over closed classes too! Since that time however, the presence of black students in the registration lines is no longer un- usual. In fact, the number of black students at ' Southern has grown to about forty. This year, the ' SOUTHERN ACCENT takes a look at this seg- ment of ' Southern ' s society in or- der to discover the attitudes of black students on a predominately white campus. By including this segment, the ' SOUTHERN AC- CENT hopes to eliminate the need for such a separation here or anywhere else on ' Southern ' s cam- pus. Noting the diversity of inter- ests within a group whose only common denominator is skin color, we must acknowledge the fact that any statement of attitude is very broad and general. BLACKS — commuters, dorm residents, independents, freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors — feel perfectly capable of becoming in- volved in campus life. Black stu- dents are involved in many areas — the French Club, the Encounter Symposium, the Music depart- ment, the Drama-Speech depart- ment, and the Health and Physi- cal Education department. There are those who argue that the involvement of black students is minimal, or that the involve- ment is superficial or token. In order to discredit these accusa- tions, must every black student enrolled at ' Southern participate regardless of interest? Must every black student be president or chairman of his group in order to avoid token involvement? Cer- tainly not! Those students who were interested in some aspect of campus life and wished to become involved, did so, and continue to do so. As the number of black students enrolled at ' Southern in- creases, so the percentage of in- volvement of involved students in- creases. It is important that both white and black students realize the real problem here at ' Southern. It is essential that students work as a body to solve the problem which is a lack of effective communica- tion, thus the lack of total and re- warding student involvement. % ELTA X OTA ' % yr l , . tJ ' ' 5 -Jj t 3_!   vK .f ; ' %:; T k ■ ' - I I ji ' ia(K«ftw « j V ?. ,?• ' r ♦ .vr r - ,.«• ' ,« l«« «  ' «iiit ' ir- Independent. Not dependent on or part of some larger group, system; separate, disconnected. Not affected or influenced in ac- tion, opinion by others. Acting so as to manage one ' s own af- fairs. So it is according to our Funk and Wagnalls Standard College Dictionary (check YOUR Funk and Wagnalls). In- dependence begins early — as in the first week of that blessed freshman year. Girls are whisked to smiling sisterly faces and what ' s your major? while frat guys are found shaking hands in their sleep. At the end of a whirlwind of pseudo-parties and propaganda, many succumb to the pleas of unity found in the masses. Freshmen sign away their college years with eager- ness; even a few upperclassmen relent. Yet, half of the student body remains untouched by pledge rules, customary habits, common characteristics, or weighty pins worn over the heart in dedication. They may be found on campus interspersed among the committed ones, some with a pleasantly tolerant atti- tude toward the Greeks, some with an openly hostile attitude. Life goes on, Greek or not. Your dorm hall is probably a healthy mixture of several breeds, so you find that your coterie harbors those of different origin, though you are not bound. Free to enter or decline as you please, you choose your activities and social life as you wish. Why ask any- one else? You don ' t have a big brother or big sister to con- jure blind dates. Panic — what to do! Brace yourself — you get dates with your own magic pow- ers. What will they think of next? You ' re free to enter sports, though not compelled to partici- pate or attend. Strangely enough, Indies usually rally with the abil- ity to declare victory. Though SGA is dominated by Greeks, Indies have their own classified representation, and do, on occa- sion, steal a few other seats. Indies are just people — happy or unhappy — but people. IS THE GREEK SYSTEM DYING? Fraternities are dying. Tlie script says so, the doctor says so, independents say so, even your best friend will tell you. But the patient is difficult. He is 118 yrs. old, drinks, smokes, wines, and dines. He has been dying for the last ten years, if rumors are to be trusted,and predictions as to his eventual departure are as accurate as those for the Great California Earth- quake. Fraternities are not about to give up, however. Their power and influence may be waning, but they continue to dominate all social functions. The Greeks may no longer be in the majority, but join- ing a Greek group still seems to assure masses of votes for those Greeks aspiring to S. G.A. offices, beauty titles, and cheerleading positions. In the past, independent can- didates lacked confidence in their campaigning and rightly so, for their independent constituents couldn ' t muster the votes necessary to de- feat the Greek candidates. 119 Now, however, with a more relaxed and honest Greek attitude, the indepen- dent candidates at ' Southern have won considerable votes thanks to the Greek majority which reahzes that its can- didates may not always be the best qualified. 120 )21 In the past, to be inde- pendent was only to be in the minority. This is no long- er true, for the table has turned. The Pi Kappa Alpha Fra- ternity is g o n e — Number One Fraternity and the Old- est Pike Chapter; members of Panhellenic Council re- fuse to come to meetings until the presidency is changed; the independents are gaining more prestige than ever before. Many Greeks have themselves be- gun to wonder whether their anachronistic and insular system is indeed worth sav- ing. Others have never given any thought to why they joined; many feel that there was never any doubt wheth- er or not they would join: their fathers and mothers belonged to Greek organi- zations and still support them. Fraternities are a southern tradition, so much a tradition that many of the Greeks discovered that some of the rushees were third or fourth generation legacies. Si. .V I 122 123 The alummms support t h e chapters with abundant funds which often place the present chapters under tremendous obUgations. These alumni were members of some sorority or fraternity back in their hey-day and hence have grown accustomed to the concept, inbued with it. These graduates pay alumni contributions and would be sorely distressed to see the furniture they paid for in the sorority rooms, or the houses they paid for on Fra- ternity Row, go to waste. 124 . ' . W %-j£r J .- 125 ' Fraternities in the south are a vestige of better days, a reminder no less than a throwback of days when mint juleps were an extension of the hand. 127 - 128 i Is the Greek System Dying? It is perhaps losing some of its steam — but no, it is not dying. Greeks still have a big influence on ' Southern ' s cam- pus, and more than likely will continue to have a big influ- 129 130 ALPHA CHI OMEGA FOUNDED IN EIGHTEEN HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE President — Virginia Har- den.

Gone are the Model T ' s, graduating classes of 8, football teams, ROTC, drum corps, Quests, golf teams, musicals, LA RE- VIEW, GRANNY, Catspaw, the Quarter sys- tem. Freshman Camp, and 45(t cigarettes. Now ' Southern has a new President, a new curricu- lum, V.W. ' s, graduating classes of 200, winning baseball teams, moratoriums, winter interim, lates, meal tickets, food and drink machines, and 50(t cigarettes. These are the now faces of ' Southern. When ' Southern University moved to Birmingham in 1918, the city was young and small. The people who moved the college put it on a stony hump on Enon Ridge, the northern rim of Jones Valley. Town was only an 8 to 10 minute bicycle ride away, and the campus only 1 14 miles from the city limit. In the valley, down where Third Avenue runs now, was a little creek and a sizable swamp, and Five Points West was still a dahlia nursery, but over to the west of the college, the steel mills were already spewing smoke and fumes into the graying sky. Since then the city has expanded, taken in new land and changed it. The creek no longer has its swamp. Dahlias seem to grow just as well on less profitable ground, but the steel mills have endured and grown, making atmospheric purity a dim, myth- ical image in the municipal memory. • -•1 6 ■ ' - ' MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OFFICERS OF THE BOARD CHAIRMAN DR.

BUFORD WORD 154 DEAN OF BIRMINGHAM SOUTHERN COLLEGE CECIL E. ABERNETHY 1939 155 I ■■ ' ,f- 00m ' m ' m0! J Dr. Bobby Don Whet- stone was appointed this year to the newly created post of Associate Dean of the College. In this post, his duty is concerned with stu- dent relations and counsel- ing. Dean Whetstone came to Birmingha m-South- ern College in 1963 as an associate professor of edu- cation. He received B.A. and M.E. from ' Southern and his doctorate from the University of Alabama. Be- fore joining the faculty at ' Southern, Whetstone taught for six years in the Birming- ham School System. Dean Ian Sturrock came back to Birmingham-South- ern College, where he re- ceived his B.S. degree, after completing his masters de- gree at the University of Alabama. From 1965-1967, he served the school in the capacity of Director of School Relations. Then for the 1968-69 school year, he served as Dean of Men. This year, he became Dean of Students. In this capacity, he serves both the school and the students as a medi- ator between the two. He serves on many of the school committees, disciplines the male students, watches the fraternity system, listens to student problems, and runs a very busy office. This year, he has also been very active in the college recruitment program. The third of the new deans is Mrs. Phoebe A. Cochran. She is the prettiest of the deans, so quite natu- rally has a steady stream of male students in her office as well as the expected wo- men students. Her title is that of Associate Dean of Students, however her main concern is that of the wo- men students. The women are very pleased with her, as she always has time to listen to their problems and gripes. 156 157 1 Birmingham-Southern College is further en- dowed by other administrative officials. These people keep the college running efficiently and smoothly. These are just a few of the large ad- ministrative staff that make up the college. ' Southern also has a large staff of secretaries, maids, cooks, janitors, garbage collectors, ac- countants, hbrarians, post-office workers, equipment supervisors, house-mothers (and even a dorm daddy), nurses, poUcemen, and Myriah. All these inkers, blotters, typers, sweepers, fixers, thinkers, and doers make up an impossible list to picture. 158 159 160 lITUPDii - WHO ' S WHO Birmingham-Southern prides it- self in being a progressive, inno- vating institution — a pacesetter in its field. Case in point, the selec- tion of the 1969-70 Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universi- ties. This year, rather than burden the faculty with the selection of representatives, the honorees were chosen by S.G.A. officers Al Pear- son, Cherry Woodruff, and Susan Atkins with the assistance of Deans Sturrock, Adams, and Whetstone. This is certainly the most efficient method of selection, because stu- dents are more aware of the people most popular among their peers. Perhaps next year, we can contin- ue this progressive policy and al- low the executive members of Mor- tar Board or O.D.K. to choose Who ' s Who. This way enterprising nominees will not limit their in- volvement to S.G.A. sponsored activities and the selecting body will remain anonymous. To be eligible for Who ' s Who, a student must have maintained at least a 2.25 average, be a Ju- nior or a returning Senior, and be nominated to be a member of the faculty, a student club, or a fellow student. They are then required to fill out an activities sheet and chosen on the basis of their char- acteristic activities. The members of Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Uni- versities for 1969-70 are: Rebec- ca Darling Alford. Walter Gra- ham Browning. Jo Ann Chap- man, Robert Gaines Corley, Wil- liam Underwood Eiland. Ann Harriet Fowler, Rebecca Eliza- beth Gilmore, David Bradley Har- gett, Mary Lea Hoke. Edward Watts Howard, Anne Elizabeth Leary, Mary Nell Linsky. Mary Jo Lowery, Robert McClure, Kath- ryn Anne Northcutt. Christine Hen- drix Paulk, Charles Errol Price, Richard Lee Harper Stanford.

Some come for an academic ed- ucation — they get tapped into Mortar Board, O.D.K., or Phi Beta Kappa and graduate with honors. Some come for sports — they outfit themselves in tee-shirts and sweat pants, develop their athletic prowess, and pick up a bachelor ' s degree on the side. Others come for social reasons — they want to satisfy their parents, dress in the latest college fads from ivy to hippie styles and just have fun. These people are con- cerned with themselves. Sometimes t h e despair be- comes so deep that you can ' t be- gin to convey it to anyone — not roommate, not parents, not girl- friend or boyfriend. Just you against the system, and you can ' t go through it or around it. You want to scream obscenities in the cafeteria or drive away for a few days. You cry to the ones who lured you here Where are those olive groves you promised me? You feel that the personal rela- tionships at ' Southern are about as warm as those to be had in a corner room on the fifth floor of hell. Occasionally, another person will appear and you will get over it. You will feel much more your- self — you will feel the special joy of giving a mutual damn and having a warm, opposite body that makes the routine bearable. You no longer want to be cut off from the group — to be sep- arated from your own special friends. You realize that to be alone is good at times, but to be lonely is something else. WHY? 192 THIS IS ' ■ i Tjf TiA v ' .?. . [ 5 I R l 1 1 r- . Birmingham — Forged out of Red Mountain in the search for steel. A city now, it has adopted Vulcan as its s y m b o 1. It has placed him on a pedestal, his mas- sive body towering over the city that owes him its existence. i i 193 J A CITY BUILT BY A RED I 194 MOUNTAIN THAT SOON Vulcan stands sentinel on Red Mountain, his right arm raised part in salute, part in blessing, over his city, Birmingham. He is there, the largest cast iron figure in the world — an awe- some symbol of the city ' s heri- tage — its basic strength and in- dustrial roots. Due to a geologic phenomenon unique in the world, the close proximity of three elements required to man- ufacture steel — iron ore, lime- stone, coal — the economy for years has flourished around steel. TAMED THE EARTH, In turn, other heavy industry has depended upon steel. For decades, Birmingham has been the South ' s leading steel center and the nation ' s leading produc- er of cast iron pipe. For more than fifty years, the name Acip- co has been synonymous with quality cast iron pipe and fit- tings. To homes, to offices, fac- tories, mills and plants through- out America, pipe manufactured by the American Cast Iron Pipe Company conducts liquids and gases vital to human well-being and industrial progress. Few oth- er manufactured products serve so many basic needs so well . . . or contribute, through their ser- vice, so much to the progress of our nation. Today in addition to cast iron pipe, the American Cast Iron Pipe Company pro- duces centrifugally spun steel tubing. Already, products manu- factured from these versatile steel cylinders serve virtually ev- ery modern industry. Hundreds of new applications are being developed Acipco ' s program of aggressive research, engineering development, and expansion of production facilities promises an even greater contribution of ser- vice to America tomorrow. Bir- mingham has also become a ma- jor producer of fabricated metal goods, transportation equipment, construction materials and chem- icals. 195 i Wr CROSSED I ' ' Sn W ;, 196 THE VALLEYS AND STREAMS, ■ M-: i m •- « ' v«!w«ajHBg5j •• ' -- - V lMaHMM Mn ' -M ■ ¥ i !-■■ ■ 197 i . . . AND BECAME AN ORGANIZATION. 199 J THINKING OF ITS FUTURE . . . No matter what business or profession you may choose for a career, life insurance plays a vital role in future plan- ning. Not only is life insurance important as a security mea- sure, it also creates an immediate estate for you while you are growing in your chosen life ' s work. A college diploma will open the doors to many careers, but one must have something other than plans to fall back on once one has graduated from Southern. There is a well trained Liberty National Life Insurance Agent who will be able and willing to help you as he has helped so many other men and women plan their Ufe insurance. There is also another very capable life insu rance agent who caters to student interest — this man may have afready contacted you, he is Ed Fitzsimmons. Students must realize that they need a security measure in their life — having life insurance is like having money in the bank . 200 t- 201 1 IT HAS STEADILY GROWN . . .

One normally thini(s of it as being little more than a small hick town, just spread around a lit- tle, but have you ever gone downtown on a busy Saturday afternoon and driven around the block five times trying to get a parking space? Birmingham IS growing. Three new sky-scrapers are nearing completion, the long awaited civic center is under construction, and the parking is getting a little better with the addition of t w o new parking decks in the heart of downtown, Alabama ' s largest shopping cen- ter. Alabama ' s two largest depart- ment stores, Loveman ' s and Pizitz have their main stores there within a two block area. Pizitz, the larger of the two, donated the fashions that made the SOUTHERN ACCENT beauty section so unusual. Love- man ' s did the outstanding work on the SENIOR portraits. 205 I J MANY HAVE COME, BRINGING WITH THEM 206 THEIR BELIEFS One of the first things to rise in the community that was the predecessor of Birmingham was a church. As more and more people have come into Birmingham the same has been true of Churches. The 1970 Birmingham Area Tel- ephone Directory lists over four hundred churches of over 15 de- nominations. Many of these denominations have churches nearby ' Southern. One of the more popular of these among Southern students is Hunt- er Street Baptist Church. A mem- ber of the Southern Baptist Con- vention, Hunter Street offers the student a variety of worship. 207 P 1 ? - BIRMINGHAM ' S These are exciting days to be alive. They are exciting days for each individual as well as for each institution — they are excit- | ing days for the church. The dif- ferent churches in Birmingham offer the ' Southern student a va- riety of denominations and in- terest groups. McCoy United Methodist Church is the closest church to the ' Southern Campus. It at- tempts to serve the college as well as the community surround- ing it, with a message that it feels M is relevant to a changing world. - Having just completed a com- prehensive year-long study of itsi ministry to its members and to the community, Indepen- dent Presbyterian Church is infl the process of implementing the findings and recommendations. The broad phase of response toS this self-study is the church ' s em- barking upon new ministries, such as Mustard Seed. Thirty program areas under a full time Negro coordinator are now func- tioning in the black community on the south side called South Town. It is fitting that this minis- try should take its place along- side the Fresh Air Farm minis- try wherein three hundred dis- advantaged children are taken each summer to the church ' s own camp on Shades Mountain. Here thirty staff persons, selected and supported by the church, provide an unusual group experience of Christian nurture and Christian living. In addition, a half dozen task forces dealing with such things as the identification of community problems, the use of communication ' s media and the opportunity of larger church re-J lationships are underway. j Through it all a growing con- cern for worship, the real heart-j beat of all 1 i f e, continues tc throb. Excellence in music an _ thoughtful attention to liturgy and preaching stimulate Inde- pendent ' s members to offer themselves anew to God in such a way that their Christian im- pulse might remain strong. 208 CHURCHES BLEND CULTURE WITH RELIGION I 209 There are many times in the four years that you are Uving toward graduation day in which you find it necessary to wear formal attire.

We are a part of its multitudinous complexities as nature and man pursue their separate, overlapping, and conflicting in- terests. The world for us is NOW, and we go in search of the relevance of its intricacies to our lives. From Apollo 8 the world shines, a serene, quiet, lovely orb floating in the soft blackness of space, an oasis in the wasteland of eternity. 225 226 MA m Enveloped in cool, ethereal clouds, the blue and green and brown earth is solid, secure, warm, ' a finite something in the staggering expanse of in- finity. The air, the water, and the firmament, sub- stances for the artistry of nature . . . Nature, the artificer, is unrestrained in its cre- ativity, dabbling in a myriad of forms, colors, and textures to express endless themes. In her changing moods, she is sometimes bright and fleeting, some- times shadowy and awesome. The butterfly, a variegated jewel flitting from flower to flower reveling m the volatile fragrance, highlights with its transient glory the more permanent surroundings as it plays on the wind. The wind touches all. From the butterfly it moves to fan the leaves of an ancient tree. The tree, exquisite in its might, stretches itself into the past and toward the future. i 223 •v :: v X ' --V a ' V. -X '  « :.

In its varying moods, stilly mirroring, rushing joyfully, sparkling in the sun. it is ever changing and yet never changing. The air, the water and the firmament worked into a splendid pattern of beauty, tenderness and savagery — this is nature that surrounds Man. Undefiled man. standing in the depths of nature, is wrapped in purity and cleanness. The very essence of man, unspoiled by his contacts with society, is a thing of wonder and innocence. The unaf- fected being is glorified by nature. It imparts beauty into his soul and influences his highest thoughts. . ,.v. ;:- ,_« .,..,. , Combined with nature, man ' s own sense of beauty creates a double splendor. Man ' s art — his painting, sculpture, poetry, and dance — all are a re-creation, augmentation, or reinterpretation of nature ' s very art. At times, however, man detaches himself from nature. He creates eyesores in the midst of beauty, destroying forever the purity and magnificence of the natural scene. 235 He constructs an environment of man-conceived, man-made objects. Pavements, buildings, aerial wires, and placards replace the natural surroundings of grass, hillsides, trees, and groves. This is, to some, progress, a taming and cultivating of harsh nature. When he can- not live in harmony with a natural surrounding or when the natural settine differs from his wants, man merely wipes away nature in that spot. Is this, though, a despoiling of nature? Isn ' t it only fair that man be able to subdue nature for his comfort- able existence? In this rationalistic approach to the situation, human beings have overlooked one dire fact. In its relationship with man. nature has its most important role in providing mankind with the essen- tials for life. In a rash and wasteful manner, man is destroying his own livelihood, breaking down the balance of nature and allowing dangerous imbalances. Despite advances in conservation, many areas continue to be ruined. 239 • ' • ' •■,  1 f ' t i ' 1 1  r ,1: ' V- Man is polluting the very water he drinks and the air he must breathe, wasting natural resources and not replenishing. Cities are stifled with smog, and rivers spoiled with industrial wastes. What will be left of the lovely orb, Earth, for its future inhabitants ' ? Man in ruining nature is destroying himself. .i «d iv; . - 4g6im ¥- - ,« .v - :? ;- 241 IS THIS THE AIR YOU WANT TO BREATHE? POLLUTION So what We consume the wealth of nature for industrial use only to transform it mto a disgustmg mixture of smoke, hydrocarbons, exhaust fumes, and dirt which are then given back to nature- in her air The Capital all but vanishes under a canopy of yellowish-brown smog. The majesty of mountain against sky in Montana is distorted through a haze of smoke and dirt emitted by a pulp mill. Daylight driv- ing often necessitates the use of headlights. Central Park resides under a cloak o noxious accumula ions locked in place. In Polk County, Florida, a fertilizer-producing phosphate plant illuminates the night sky with among other wastes, fluoride compounds which contaminate the ground, they strike, stunting and de- stroying citrus trees, and softening the bones of grazing cattle. And the precious human body-how does it respond? 242 gpp : ' ' i mmHfm ' ' ' ' 1 ' i! ' xV- -: i ' :y ' mm. Kii ' yvi: Carbon monoxide, a favorite waste and a colorless, odorless gas, is deadly poisonous. Breathing air containing 80 parts per million of carbon monoxide over a period of 80 hours can eliminate the use of 15% of the body ' s hemoglobin, the oxygen carrier in the blood, can be equated to the loss of over a pint of blood. Yet, we continue to knowingly accept the consequences. And what of the reaching effects of pollution on the entirety of our environment? The debris envelopes the existence of nature, grasps her livelihood, and smothers her declaration of the ultimate revelation of beauty. We have created and nurtured a desire for technological advance, and ignored the blanket of filth it has deposited between the stars and the earth. A pity we choose to do nothing. POLLUTION 243 THE HEIGHT OF AFFLUENCE EXISTS, YET THE DEPTH OF DESTITUTION PREVAILS. SUCH IS SOCIETY! The degradation of poverty is manifested to soaring heights by the ghettos and slums. Hungry children roam the streets by day. and gangs rule the streets by night. All see and know they are there. Yet. they re- main. So if he survives infancy, a boy schooled in the streets learns quickly that to live he must be quicker than the next. He must obtain what food he eats and cannot be concerned with clothes. He may sleep in a park, a gully, or an alley. His mother dejectedly cares for her in- fant, who is suffering from advanced malnutrition. She remorsefully tends the wounds of her eldest son — he was caught in a street fight. She tearfully drifts into troubled sleep, not knowing where her other children are. Tomorrow will follow, much the same. Can they love the world they live in? Or can they even conceive of the brotherhood of man ? 245 246 INTERNATIONAL DEBATE - JAPAN VERSUS BIRMINGHAM-SOUTHERN Birmingham-Southern College, an unfortunately insular academic community, affords itself few op- portunities for direct contact with persons from outside the South and especially from outside the United States. On March 27, 1969, how- ever, Birmingham-Southern was honored to host the Japanese Na- tional Champion Debate Team in an annual debate sponsored by the Speech Association of America. The two young students from So- fia University in Tokyo had their Master ' s degrees in world eco- nomics and business and seemed remarkably at ease when they de- bated the topic Should the United States Withdraw all Military and Economic Aid from the Far East? Representing Birmingham- Southern College and speaking in support of the proposition were Mike Murphy and Steve Dorough in their initial public debate; they contrasted the need of America ' s poor against those of more ad- vanced Far Eastern countries. The Japanese students, who deliber- ately feigned a limited knowledge of English in their opening argu- ments, especially disputed the nar- row geographical limits of the Far East (meaning only Japan) drawn by the ' Southern team in its definition of terms. Their argu- ment against a Communist take- over of all Asia — if the United States were to withdraw her troops — was most effective. The verdict, rendered by the audience in a written, sympathetic vote, was painfully close: 57-52 Sofia University over Birmingham- Southern. 247 ENCOUNTER A SYMPOSIUM EXAMINING THE CRISIS IN AMERICAN CULTURE Faced with a growing awareness of the need for involvement in national issues, students at Southern created ENCOUNTER 69, a sym- posium designed to bring to the academically minded campus a discus- sion of topics relevant to the modern, real world. Five speakers, each representatives of a different phase of society, explored, analyzed, and described The Crisis in American Culture. Little was left uncovered, except possibly cures for the ills in the discus- sions of America ' s poverty stricken areas, racial situation, military com- plexes. ABM system, socialism in the government, role of the church, and urban problems, particularly in Birmingham, Washington, and New York. STERLING TUCKER, eleven year executive director of the Washington D.C. Urban League and organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, was a strong supporter of non-violence. He advocated the total elimination of the ghetto condition, as it is a ruthless deterrent to proeress for the individual. South Carolina Senator STROM THURMOND was the man who tackled hard jobs and brought about their always successful completion. A mighty advocate of constitutional adherence, military preparedness, and the ABM system, Strom Thurmond has been a principle leader in the Republican Party organization. Theologian, teacher, churchman, and former leader of the East Harlem, New York Protestant Parish, DR. GEORGE WEBBER has stressed the urgency for church work in the poverty stricken areas of our cities. He emphasized the tremendous need for modern Christians to co- ordinate their Christian lives with the reality of their lives in the church and the world. In Dr. Webber ' s opinion, the goal of the twentieth-cen- tury church should be the continuation of the work of Jesus Christ and in degenerate urban communities. Senator JOSEPH CLARK, a liberal Pennsylvania Democrat, has been a strong spokesman for congressional reform and for an increased role for the federal government in domestic affairs. A dynamic speaker in favor of successful elimination and control of society ' s ills, he sees government not as the last resort when all other resources are exhaust- ed, but as the organized intelligence of the community, anticipating and preventing crises that, left unresolved, demean the human spirit. CLARENCE WOOD, director of the Birmingham Urban League, provided a local view crises within the city. Poverty, inequality, and prejudices within Birmingham place limitiations; however, notable change can be made in alleviating problems. Despite the scant participation in the program on the part of the students and faculty members, Encounter was successful in fulfilling its purpose. There was confrontation: speakers and students became in- volved in exchanges of ideas. Something — a desire for further know- ledge, further discussion, and for action — had been awakened in the minds of the interested participants. This was Encounter ' 69, and in the quest for future understanding, it is the Encounter of the future. 248 249 ■ K T.° r hJ BL. Wk. tM-. n.J.=Uonn.lr. J.rlou.ly;  -■ | !rr..

All of you knew that you could be assured of anonymity, yet you insisted upon telling us that your first sexual experience was at age five. What an adorable bunch of children you are. Maybe if we put the same thing to you next year you ' ll tell us age six. The National Moratorium Day brought a full day of Vietnam dia- logue to the Birmingham-Southern College campus. Dr. Roy Wells be- gan the day-long affair with a lecture on the moral aspects of the war. Students later saw a government-produced film about the war and heard the commentary of Tony Falleta from the BIRMINGHAM NEWS about the slides he had taken in Vietnam. Reverend Arthur Smoker outlined the meaning of conscientious objection; W. T. Neil, a ' South- ern student, told why he changed from a pro-war soldier to an anti-war civilian. Then came the two most conflicting views of the day; Dave Simpson of the Atlanta Revolutionary Youth Movement presented the far left anti-war sentiment, and former Congressman Armistead Selden followed him with the extreme right pro-war position. The most heated debate of the entire dialogue occurred during Mr. Selden ' s question and answer session. Concluding the day was Professor Irvin Penfield ' s sum- mary of the effects an immediate end to the war would have on the domestic scene. Following the dialogue. ' Southerners in small groups descended on Kelly-Ingram Park for the anti-war demonstration. Some went as a result of polilical conviction; others were moved by curiosity, but many returned to campus carrying tickets for jaywalking. By dawn ' s early light the United States Marines, weary after the third night ol fighting in September against the North Viet Namese troops, crawl from their fox holes as the sun ' s first rays light their hilltop position near the dcmilitari ed zone. Helicopter m the back- ground was shot down as it attempted to bring sup- plies to the unit. if fJSi APATHY THIS WAS B.S. 1969-70 Apathy — like an overworked epithet, the word has almost lost its meaning; it is the perennial whip- ping boy at ' Southern. The newspaper, the students, the faculty, and the S.G.A. all decry its constriction of campus life. Like the weather, everyone talks about it, but, understandably, no one does anything about it. Student power is definitely not a reaUty at ' Southern. The S.G.A. talked of taking some powers or responsibilities, passed resolutions, dis- tributed petitions, and even drew up a new constitu- tion which was taken for granted by 90% of the stu- dent body — but still no student response.
