TT ' ffT ' lflI First impressions are important. Newcomers and visitors to ' Southern almost always come away with a very good first im- pression of the Hilltop. Friendly, warm, and helpful, the students and faculty alike are known for their smiles and hello ' s that mean so much. There ' s an atmosphere of closeness and friendship which is often sought after, but seldom realiz- ed. People at ' Southern always seem to find time to answer a question, give directions, help out wherever and however they can, and, oh yes, juzt have a good time. h 1 J KSM ■ H - . Pu ' eII 9| BK ' $ i j H M 1 9 -. . ■-; ,.-..,v: ;.,«... . : The dedication of. a new learning center and library represents the single most significant event that can happen in the life of a college or university. It represents a dedication by the entire college community to the ideals of a strong academic program — one which respects the tradition of liberal learning; which adheres to the value of private higher education, and which acknowledges the value of a church- related educational program. A learning resource center or a library is the very heart and soul of the learning process. Here at Birmingham- Southern College, a strong academic program has been our tradition; it must be our future. k New faces, new places — new things are going on at BSC. The college is a virtual showcase of progress and innovation with many concrete, visible changes and additions to the campus itself, as well as a pervading feel- ing of unity and enthusiasm among everyone. From the new roadways to the new library and plaza; from the new classes added to the curriculum to the new faces joining the faculty and staff; from the new day students to the many new night students; from the renovations in the dorms to the re-landscaping of the Owen Quadrangle — these things and many more exemplify a turning point in the life of Birmingham- Southern College. Something to please everyone — that ' s what Birmingham-Southern College offers. The campus itself is a delightful mixture of the old and the new, the rustic and the modern, the fast-paced and the slower-paced. It ' s a place to be alone and a place to be with friends. It ' s a place to enjoy nature and also to admire the wonders of modern technology. There is something unique about Southern ' s campus. That ' s what makes it so beautiful. - Mlf 4 .Vv .-w- S Art, of any form, is generally a matter of personal taste. And personal tastes can be readily and freely expressed at ' Southern. Whether it be in the form of music, dance, art or drama, those who participate become totally and wholly in- volved in their individual endeavours. These artists not only find personal satisfaction in performing and creating, they also give the entire college community the benefits of their art.

Dr. Don Casella, director of the new Contract Learning Center, is responsible for placing students in the various internships both on and off campus. The purpose of this new program is to provide students with a valid op- portunity to gain insight into the real world. Admin istration, Business, Industry, Performing and Creative Arts, Education, Govern- ment, Medicine, Law and Social Ser- vice are some of the areas which the Internship Program encompasses. These out-of-class learning ex- periences allow students more freedom than they would normally have in the classroom situation. It also gives them the chance to better understand themselves and to ex- amine their academic and career goals. Student Life 145 Birmingham-Southern offers students another means to learn more about those subjects which particularly interest them — the Interim Term. Interim is also the chance for students to experi- ment with and discover new things, new ideas, and, best of all, new places. This summer, two groups from ' Southern did just that. Dr. John Thurmond, Chairman of the Geology Department, led an expedition of about a dozen students to the American Northwest. They explored the mountains, woods and wilds of Colorado, Washington, California, Wyoming and other surroun- ding states. Meanwhile. Dr. Henry Randall, History Department Chair- man, and his merry band of BSC students and Summer Scholars visited such historic cities in England as London, Cambridge, York, and Chester, and also Conway and Caernarvon in Wales. The subjects were different and so were the places, and the faces. But the effect was the same — a deep appreciation for the greatness and beauty of the world in which we live. 146 Student Life .-.lT, ||l£ |;; - i9BHflH H ■ L K iH M g I Mli ' p ' - ■ BB llT«8r VmtM ' ' HM rtt rVr IL . 9 ■ ' KS B H bCv v I ' I IBm Z pr ■ ' ■ ' F .fl Student Life 147 i, m 148 Student Life Commuters and residents, day students and night stu- dent, married students and unmarried students. All kinds of people, each adding his or her own personal touch to the entire college community. The problems of the commuters are different from the residents: traffic jams vs. lost meal tickets; finding a babysitter vs. finding a date. Likewise, the problems of the day students are different from those of the night students: getting no letters from home vs. getting too many bills; two or three hours of Work-Study vs. eight hours of a full-time job. Hopefully these differences will not remain quite so dis- tinct so that there will no longer be day and night students, commuting and resident students, but just students. Student Life 149 150 Student Life Students are here at ' Southern to learn, whether it be in the classroom, the lab, the library, the dorm, or somewhere else. Most people here take their studies seriously. It ' s not uncommon to find the library busy un- til midnight every night during the week. Nor is it uncommon to find dorm lights burning until the wee hours. The long hours are evident by the stifled yawns in the middle of class, as well as in the middle of the night. Often bleary-eyed and droopy-tailed, but nonetheless hanging in there, the students at BSC know what the word study means. Student Life 151 152 Student Life Hey, let ' s go to the Tide! But I have to study. Well, maybe for just a little while ... Pitchers of beer, empty mugs and brimming ones on the tables . . . Red Necks, White Socks, and Blue Ribbon Beer on the jukebox . . . grilled cheese sandwiches, barbecue, and Specials on the grill .... the Tide ' n ' Tiger. But that ' s not to exclude the houses , fraternity, that is. Probably the most popular havens for recreation next to the Tide. Have you ever noticed how a beer calls for a cigarette? You don ' t happen to have light, do you? Student Life 153 X. 1541 Student life T-ir :- i. •Ti1 Takin ' it easy, or Good Times 101. ' Southern students relax in an assortment of ways. From playing in the fountain to throwing a Frisbee on the dorm quad to eyeing the goodies at Marsh ' s, getting away from it all is as important to students here as going to classes and hitting the books. Everyone gets out at some time or another, and when they do — anything goes. Student Life 155 SS ' ' %v. ...jH SSi ' w -%i:- ' ..

Student Life 157 •Mi iil t ' 158 Student Life We are the student body at Birmingham- Southern College. Over 1,000 students, over 1,000 individuals. Each one of us is free to be ourselves, to pursue those things which interest us, and to express ourselves in whatever way we choose. We are diversified, certainly; for we are individuals. And what brings us together is Birmingham-Southern College itself— the place where we learn and grow and ex- perience. Some of us are studious, some are not; some of us are creative, some are not; some of us are good-looking, some are not. But the one thing we do have in common is knowing the importance of being the very best we can be.

' Tfie United States turned 200 and so did the Greek system, tt was a very good year for Greeks, especMly here at ' Southern: Oh, sure, Greeks habe had their ups and downs. There have been some mighty lean years for them. Nobody knows that any better than the Pike, DZ, c nd KA chapters who folded at ' Southern during the GreflL reek Depression.

These lovely ladies do more than just party, though. They have five national philanthropies, among them the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. They do volunteer work at the Children ' s Hospital, and have a babysitting pool for faculty children. Great sportswomen as well, Alpha Chi ' s won last year ' s Overall Trophy for intramurals. Sporting and sparkling— that ' s Alpha Chi. Alpha Chi Omega was founded on Oc- tober 15, 1885 at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. The Alpha Omega chapter was founded at BSC on April 9, 1926. 218 Greeks Members include: Sharon Abbott; Ginny Alderson; Martha Baird; Margaret Baker; Chris Benich; Pam Bonner; Betty Chatham; Cindy Cox; Marty Croft; Aman- da Glaze; Chris Griffith; Cindy Hicks; Susan Jefferson; Libby Lauderdale; Nor- ma Jean Mason; Denise Mays; Katherine Merrill; Jackie Murphy; Lisa Nordstrum; Susie Otts; Michele Parr; Rachel Rowe; Catherine Roy; Paula Shipper; Martha Speer; Chris Stocks; Aglecia Taylor; Lisa Ware; Laurie Whitehurst; Lucy Williams; Shelby Wirt; Kathy Young.

Greeks 219 Alpha Omicron Pi Roses, roses and more roses — and by any other name than AOPi they certainly would not smell as sweet. The Annual Rose Ball is definitely the social event of the season, but these American beauties make any of their gatherings a garden of delights. The Annual Mr. Hilltopper Show raises money for the Arthritis Foundation, and the sorority sponsors a child through the Christian Children ' s Fund. They ' re altruistic, yes, amiable, and aristocratic. In a word — dazzling. Alpha Omicron Pi was founded in 1897 at Barnard College, Columbia University, New York.

Greeks 221 Kappa Delta Accomplished is the only word for KD ' s. They sell Christmas Seals for the Crippled Children ' s Hospital in Richmond, tutor children in the afternoon school program at McCoy Methodist Church, and have had the highest scholastic average on campus for the past two years. They were quite ob- viously raised right, and every November they host a Mother-Daughter banquet just to show they haven ' t forgotten. Always smiling and always sophisticated. Devastating.

W a - 224 Greeks I Everyone knows that Pi Phi ' s are angels— they not only treat faculty children to a Halloween party each year, but they also sing Christmas carols at the Children ' s Hospital annually. Tearing up to Gatlinburg in the fall, a Formal in February, a Founder ' s Day celebration, and a Tea for parents are all part of the Pi Phi ' s luminous social calendar. Always ready for fun, these dolls are especial- ly gorgeous and gifted. Pi Beta Phi Pi Beta Phi Sorority was founded at Mon- mouth College, Monmouth, Illinois April 28, 1867. The Alabama Alpha chapter of BSC was begun on October 7, 1927.

Every year, these girls put those luscious legs to work in a Walk-A-Thon for the National Association for Retarded Citizens. They ' re dancers, singers, actresses and artists. Lovely in crinolines, their Old South Ball promises to become the most eagerly an- ticipated annual event yet. Cultured, cultivated and celebrated— heady, isn ' t it? Originally founded at Longwood College, Farmville, Virginia in 1898, the Alpha Nu Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha was founded on BSC ' s campus on October 7, 1922.

The Beta Beta Chapter of Birmingham- Southern was founded in 1885. ATO ' s rally for the Vike every autumn and, as a number of campus lovelies could tell you, they also ravish for it. Ac- tually it ' s all part of the A TO ' s very busy year, for they find time to hold pledge parties, the Winter Formal, a Luau, a summer band party, and help with the Special Olympics in Talladega. ATO ' s are smart (all of their 1976 seniors are in graduate school), commited (they have won the Annual Red Cross Blood Drive eight out of nine times), and ob- viously good-looking. Ravishing? You bet!

Put them to work as ladies of the night, ob- viously. Actually it ' s the little sisters who put on a dazzling display of their wares at the Annual Ladies of the Night Party, and the sorority presidents are merely held for a ransom (so we ' re told) which goes to chari- ty. One would think that the Lambda Chi ' s are the most sinful frat on campus — they also hold an annual Hades Party — but once in a while they do nice things like hunt Easter eggs and have Halloween parties. Seems like they ' re always having a good time. Lambda Chi Alpha had its beginning at Boston University on November 2, 1909. The Theta Mu Zeta chapter came to BSC in 1939. Greeks 231 Sigma Alpha Epsilon As anyone who has been through rush can tell you, the SAE ' s know how to throw a party; and if you ' ve ever been to watch intramurals, you know why the Sig ' s re- main undefeated champions. There is verve in everything they do. The SAE social calendar is full with band parties, cookouts, house parties and their formal. They also sponsor a foster child and hold an annual Christmas party for under- privileged children. The SAE ' s have it, folks — that touch of class. 1856 was the year in which Sigma Alpha Epsilon was founded on the campus of the University of Alabama. At BSC, the Alabama Iota Chapter was founded on November 23, 1878. 232 Greeks Members include: Don Abele; Steve Bass; Tim Berg; Lev Bragg; Buddy Bunn; Hal Cain; Jud Chandler; Steve Davis; Bill Dowell; Joey Elmore; Tim Goggins; Robert Haraway; Steve Hendricks; Danny Hill; Dan Hite; Eddie Holden; Steve Howard; Richard Hunter; An- drew Jackson; Carey Jackson; Rick Jackson; Steve Jackson; Reeves Johnson; Mike Kilgore; Rick Letson; Lucian Lott; Peck Mallory; Joel Martin; Jay Mashbum; John McCormick; Jim McCray; Richard Montgomery; Steve Palmer; Lee Pelfrey; Dick Reddick; Tom Roper; Barry Savage; Tom Sawyer; Richard Shamblin; Bo Smiley; Carl Smyly; Marc Smith; Weymon Snuggs; John Spain; Larry Striplin; Gary Talbert; George Thagard; Johnny Walker; Jack Webb; Johnny West; Greg Zieman.

Greeks 233 Theta Chi Getting high for The Fly is only one of the ways Theta Chi ' s find to liven up their social season. There is something going on for the Ox-men almost all the time with the Pledge Party, the R ed and White Formal, winter and spring House Parties and an annual Christmas Party for UNICEF. Theta Chi ' s obviously en- joy playing hard — they have won the Greek Games for the past six years. Theta Chi Fraternity was founded at Norwich University in Vermont on April 10, 1856.

You get Campus Plan checking with overdraft pro- tection. So you can write a check for more than you have in your account because you ' ll have a line of credit of at least $ 100. Your parents can help you get Master Charge or BankAmericard. Just in case you ever need even more money in a hurry. Plus, they can even apply for a loan if you have a tuition bill, or for that matter, any other major school expense coming up. There ' s an easy way your parents can transfer money from their Central office to yours. You ' ll have a college representative in your Central office to answer all your ques- tions about banking. And as if that isn ' t enough, Central will be adding even more services shortly. But the best part of all is that you can get everything the Campus Plan has to offer for only $ 1 . 50 a month. So stop by your nearest Central Bank office and ask about it. Why can ' t you find a pack- age like Central ' s Campus Plan at most other banks? Maybe for them, it ' s too much like work.

The late doughnut breaks, the wee morning hour giggles and understanding professors make the job at times enjoyable. Putting a yearbook together is difficult. It really requires all .■ikills. suck as knowing how to take pictures, develop them, write copy, type, as well as all the other yearbook responsibilities. Since I lack many of those skills myself, I am very grateful to several people who have been there when most needed — Greg Barnard, Mellodie Wilson, and most of all, George Kassouf. Having to frantically leave for Europe a day early, the book was left in their hands to be completed. There is no way anyone can know how much their work and friendship has meant. I must give a special thank you to John Weston for designing our cover in a moment ' s notice, and to those in the News Bureau, Rick Smith, Jim Bennett, Jim Underwood and Imogene Newsom, for helping locate pic- tures and keep me sane. This yearbook ' s aim is to represent Birmingham- Southern College, the students, the faculty, the administra- tion, and the atmosphere surrounding the college. It has been a good year; good things have happened to the college. Birmingham-Southern does have a new image and it is my hope that this book has captured that image and spirit. While being editor has its problems, I would not take anything for the experience. I have learned more about peo- ple, responsibility and myself than I ever thought I would. I have enjoyed it and, if I could have the help from those mentioned, I would enjoy being a yearbook editor again. Olynn G. Ohrtmann Closing 251 In a year characterized by renova- tion and introspection, ' Southern and its students moved forward in time. While moving, various and often op- posing emotions developed with each emotion running its course, straying, intersecting, and, sometimes, halting. For some, a measure of greatness is not how much one loves but how much one is loved. So it may be said that Quenette Shehane was great. Her shocking and senseless death stunned, hurt, angered, and frustrated those of us who have the deep regard for life that Quenette had. Of course, those hurt most deep- ly are her family and her friends and no words, no pictures, no songs can erase the pain and the tragedy itself. But it is with words, pictures, and songs that we can remember Quenette and her loving, undying spirit that so touched those around her. mi X. ,_W . . v ' J And an astronomer said, Master, what of Time? And he answered: r ' You would measure time the measureless and the im- measurable. You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons. Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life ' s timelessness. And knows that yesterday is but today ' s memory and tomorrow is today ' s dream. And that that which sings and contemplates in you is- still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space. Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless? And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless, encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not from love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to other love deeds? And is not time even as love is, undivided and spaceless? But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons. And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing. —From The Prbphet, by Kahlil Gibran Lr_GE,
