But if at anytime love for my brother is lost, then so is hope and nneaning, and so am I. 18 J9 But at this moment, I am here, no one can deny, and the moments that I now experience are as perennial as the grass. .

And these truths shall set me free .... 22 23 Challengers Paul Clinton Bailey Dean of the College In addition to his duties as Dean of the College and Faculty, Dr. Bailey has taken on other roles as well.

Lily Tomlin I didn ' t think Lily Tomlin was actually all that funny, I did think she showed evidence of being a ven good actress — and I ' m not referring to the Ernestine or Edith Ann characters. Her Munger Hall, Quest II performance Oct, 1 7, 1 975, was standing room only and the people who came ob- viously were friends Standing ovation Three curtain calls .... But she A as best, I thought, doing one piece about a sorority girl (there might have been some local iden- tification on that one) and a rather somber but beautiful routine about a girl in a bar thinking and talking out loud about her life. That ' s when Lily was poignant. That ' s when Lily was truthful. And that ' s when Lily was at her best. Ray Martin 52 53 Dr. Bentley Glass Dr Bentley Glass, author of more than 20 books and currently distinguished professor of biology at State University of New York, spoke at ' Southern on Prometheus and Pandora: Dilemma of Our Times, on Oct 21, 1975.

Lots of talk. Lots of pages running around with notes, but generally a good bit of order on the Senate floor as compared to the real thing. It was ' Southern ' s first US Model Senate program, a four day look into the world of Washington D.C., with Alabama ' s top high school students playing the roles of America ' s 1 OO senators. Floyd Riddick, former parliamentarian of the US. Senate was there to keep things moving properly and there were talks from Alabama Republicans and Democrats— and at least one US. Senator. That was Sen. John Tunney of California, here to visit with the high schoolers and to speak as part of ' Southern ' s Quest II lecture series. Model SB Senate 59 60 John Tunney us. Senator John Tunney of California pushed the Noise Pollution Act toward passage in the Senate and House, a feat Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield called a legislative miracle. Another bill which Sen. Tunney is principle author is the Water Control Quality Act, which mandates all waterways be clean enough for swimming by 1981. During his talk at ' Southern he discussed the breakdown in processes of government, erosion of Congressional power due to encroachment of the Executive Branch, and he suggested remedies to restore balance and public confidence. 61 Art Buchwald Art Buchwald, in addition to his popularity as a syndicated columnist, is also the author of many rib-tickling books, the latest being I Am Not a Crook. As a performer he is heard on records, on television, and before audiences all across the na- tion. Art Buchwald spoke at BSC February 21, 1976, and as in the words of columnist Walter Lippman, is one of the best satirists of our time. 62 Vincent Price Vincent Price, well known to mo- tion picture, television and theater audiences. Is equally well known to lovers of art, collectors of cook books, readers of his books and newspaper articles, as well as the thousands who have seen his one- man shows and listened to his lec- tures. Some of Prices ' s best known films are: Song of Bernadette, Laura Dragonwyck, House of Seven Gables, The Ten Com- mandments, The Raven, The Pit and the Pendulum. At ' Southern, Vincent Price started his speech on the theme, The Villains Still Pursue Me. 63 George Plirmpton George Plimpton, the author whc has tried his hand at everything from quarterbacking a professional football team to playing a stand-up comic in Las Vegas, appeared at BSC on March 26, 1976. 64 ■!. ■■«. % Carlos Montoya Flamenco must come from the heart, says world renowned flamenco guitarist Carlos Montoya. Born in Madrid, he started playing at age eight, taught by his mother, later by a barber in the same city. After a year the barber said he had taught Montoya everything he could, and the young man began his training in the school of experience. He played in the heyday of flamenco dancing and sing- ing and in 1948 presented his first full concert of flamenco guitar music, something unheard of at the time. Until that event, guitarists had always ac- companied singers or dancers only. On May 8, 1976, there were no singers or dancers on Munger Auditorium ' s stage — there was only Carlos Montoya and his guitar. 65 Art 66 Dance %ig 0- MK il ? ■: ■ ? tj , ' , .. 67 Music 68 i i4 69 Theatre After unrest at the beginning of the year over what the major production would be, the Drama-Speech depart- ment turned to the Empire Builders by Boris Vian. It turned out to be an excellent choice by Dr. Powell Students and faculty went forth in preparation with a unity and intensity rare even for the theatre. The technicians created a three-part set and lighting which established just the feeling of isolation vital to the play. And the crack acting of Glenn Scott, Jean McDaniel, Sarah Marshall, David Blalock. Donna Baugh, and Michael Fierman gave the audience a chilling, absurdist account of what happens when people attempt to become islands unto themselves. This one-act produc- tion was like a small diamond. Small, but flawless. In keeping with the College Theatre tradition, the rest of the year saw fresh interpretations of classic material. Lyndia Linford presented Eugene O ' Neill ' s IVIourning Becomes Electra in the round and Dr. Powell directed a Concert Theatre version of Dostoebasky ' s The Brothers Karamazov. Student-directed plays in- cluded: lonesco ' s The Bald Soprano, Shaw ' s Can- dida. 70 71 m i mm M iimm mm i m : m im m :Mmmm mpmm iMA Seniors Daniel Akpe Birmingham.

You can ' t describe Pi Phi in so many words because you could talk forever without giving its true meaning. But we can tell you Pi Phi is found in these girls. It is found in our tears, in laughter and in song We have accepted a very precious gift — the music of Pi Beta Phi.

What could I possibly be?: college is the turning point for you; in this year of the Bicentennial, America has arrived at its turning point: will it last another 200 years?; you and others of your generation will help answer that question: details of Advanced Calculus or Intro to Music will be forgotten; but if you learn at Southern to think and reason, to consider and care for others, and support your ideals with construc- tive action, the answers to your questions will not only be right for you; they will be right for America 215 JTl Intramural ' i ii s ' V- ' ,.v a  !f 218 r„ •« !. ! « -w j - s: V ' V Football  , ' , - .i i wa if ' say sitzy -.-v sr iJ dfc K A i y]Cs s3 219 220 Final Standings SAE First ATO Second INDY Third TX Fourth LXA Fifth 221 222 Intramural Volleyball 223 Intramural Basketball 225 BSC Basketball 226  20 Mike Heckman 42 Bernard Fussell 227 228 % ' , - 1 -A 1 r J ' jfy 0U IK I f m -.-i i H  «««N;ap i M j iiSi:i«i. -s; BBI ' SMsssK- 40 Jeraid Bailey 229 230 Basketball Schedule Novembi er 21-22 24 Tipoff Tournament Huntingdon College 54 Clarence Kelly December ,. 1 3 6 10 13 18-20 Univ.

I am very thanl ful to have been given the honor. But the special treat has come from those who helped me and meant so much, especially this year. Praises are due for my untiring editor Jamie, who had the patience of a saint and let me spend whatever I wanted. He did a fantastic job. I v ant to thank in par- ticular Craig Hinshaw, Billy Lopez, Amy Douglas, and all the brothers of LXA. And Anne, for being, and being there at the right time.

Pg. 253, 254, 256 taken from This Is the A meri can Earth by Ansel Adams and Nancy Newhall Though no one dedicates yearbooks anymore, I want to dedicate my part in this one to S.D.M., whom I will always cherish.

I am going to avoid any comments concerning the universal relevance of this book, and would like to acknowledge the many people who made this book a reality. First of all, I would like to recognize the people who created this book — the students of Birmingham-Southern College, However, I do believe that several people deserve a special thank you in producing the 1976 Southern Accent. Special thanks to Olynn, who served as Business Manager; to Allen, who without his camera this book would not have been produced; to Ray Martin, who was always willing to listen and help; to Beth for completing a section the night before a deadline; to Shaun for doing last minute art work; to all the Alpha Tau Omegas for showing me the understanding of true brotherhood; to Kes for always smiling; to Mrs Hill, who gave me inspiration; to Dr. Smith and my Fall Term professors, who helped me survive academically . . . I can ' t thank everyone on an individual basis, but the 1976 Southern Accent Staff deserves special mention. This book was not the result of one person or editor, but was the result of a team effort. And I do believe that these people, who took time from their academics to help with this book need commending for their excellent work and dedication: Pat George, Mitsy Britten, Jo Woodham, Lynette Bradley, Beth Pulliam, Steve Zachow, David Edmonds, George Kassouf, Shaun Taylor, Scott Wilson, Marcia Walker, Beth Mauldin, and Ginny Alderson. I have enjoyed being the 1 976 Southern Accent Editor, but I must reiterate the statement that many editors have made— I would never do this again. However, I do believe that my position as editor contributed a great deal to my be- ing by giving me the opportunity to meet people, and form friendships that otherwise would have been non-existent.
