The name is synonymous with academic excellence throughout Alabama, the South, and the Unit- ed States. Ever since the Col- lege ' s founding in 1856, it has been the goal of ' Southern to pro- vide the best academic opportuni- ty for academic growth for its stu- dents. This attempt to promote academic growth was recognized in 1937 by the national academic honor society, Phi Beta Kappa. Dr. Neal Berte has continued this high standard of academic distinction during his tenure as President, and the fruits of his labor can be seen in the new Olin Computer Science and Mathematics Center now under construction. Along with academic growth the College also endeavors to pro- mote moral and social growth. Be- ing associated with the United Methodist Church, BSC offers a full range of religious services, group Bible studies, and Christian interaction groups. The college also has on its staff a full-time Chaplain to aid students with any spiritual problems that they may have. Continued on page 4. (Right) A view of the academic quad from Andrews Dormitory.

The College has a very active Greek system, and sponsors three student publications: THE HILLTOP NEWS, QUAD, and SOUTHERN ACCENT. The SGA sponsors band parties, film and lecture series, and other activities designed to be accessible and at- tractive to all students. Whether it is singing in the Concert Choir, the Southern Chorale, participating in a theatre production, working with the Young Democrats or College Republicans, or joining in a heated discussion in the Debate Society, there is something for every stu- dent at ' Southern to use as a vehi- cle of social expression. Within the crest of Birmingham- Southern College is found the phrase Pro Christo Et Repub- lica. It is this philosophy coupled with the concept of a liberal arts education that is the driving force behind this institution of higher learning. Birmingham-Southern College has been successful for the last 129 years, and it will con- tinue to successful for many more. STAN GLASSCOX Student walks to late afternoon class (Top Right).

An exceptional faculty is one of the main advantages of small col- leges in general, and of Birming- ham-Southern in particular. In CRI- SIS IN THE CLASSROOM, Charles Silberman writes that a teacher must do more than simply start where his students are; he must also take them somewhere else. ' Southern ' s faculty puts extra ef- fort to take us somewhere. In an era of large universities that sacrifice teaching on the altar of research, Birmingham-Southern remains an institution of learning. A faculty dedicated to educating students makes a school more than a diploma factory. ' Southern ' s professors are cer- tainly accomplished in their fields of study. Over three-fourths have doctorates or the highest degree in their field. But ' Southern ' s fac- ulty also possess an enthusiasm for the spread of knowledge that epitomizes the spirit of liberal edu- cation at its finest. Our faculty is the thread of con- tinuity that runs through the col- lege year after year. While stu- dents pass through, the professors remain to educate. In the body of the college the stu- dents are the blood, but the facul- ty is the heart. Our faculty is Bir- mingham-Southern at its best — caring about the students and spreading knowledge. — SHARON LYNCH Faculty Members (Clockwise from Op- posite Top): Donald Dixon, Michael Mclnturff, Dorothy Ward and Dean Moomaw, William Ramsey and Natwar- lal Bosmia, Charles Moore, Michael Flowers.

Dorm life is finding creative new ways to barely obey the opaque container rule, and discovering the virtues of late night Rooky ' s pizza. It is learning to stretch your patience to un- precedented heights when your neighbor insists on playing his fa- vorite Beatles song at least fifty times a day. Dorm life is a box of No-Doz and a nearby coffee pot for the Oh-my-God-l-have-eleven- hours-to-study-for-my-exam blues. It Is inviting the gang over to watch MASH when everyone is bored and broke, and coping with the perils of an option three dorm when you have an option four ro- mance. Dorm life is a frisbee ses- sion on the quad and a spur of the moment decision to hit Southside or take in a late movie or make a 2 a.m. Chinese food run. It Is a scav- enger hunt through the halls for various components of a mixer outfit. Dorm life is getting to know and accept a lot of other people — their habits, quirks, and good and bad points. It is looking out for the other guy — cheering up the down- hearted, sharing a laugh, keeping a secret. Most of all, though, it is the creator of the strongest bonds and the closest of friends — be- tween people who live with one another during four of the most important years of their lives. — VICKI VAN VALKENBURGH Bud Evers, disguised as a Martian San- ta Claus, visits Tom Doggett in liis dorm room (right).

It is probably lucky if it makes the top fifty favorite activities. That ' s understandable; few people should enjoy dredging through mountains of material that is sometimes about as interesting as watching grass turn brown and die. De spite an intrinsic aversion to studying, most students spend a large portion of their time study- ing. At ' Southern, academic sur- vival demands it. Your friends will make you work even when they aren ' t willing to do it themselves. Memories of epic studying are vi- tal to experiencing college fully. Hundreds of Krispy Kreme runs to stay awake just a few more hours and black, stomach-hurting U- Tote-M coffee have been good in- terludes in many studying jaunts. Waking up with your head on the book you were supposed to have read happens far too often to get all the work done. All-nighters are inescapable memories of college. No matter how disgusted anyone is with even the concept of study- ing, if you survive academics at ' Southern, the fact is that you have studied meticulously and know you have. Your memory will never let you deny it. — LANDIS SEXTON Studying in front of Art Building (above). Stockham Women ' s Building (opposite left). Dr. Earl Holliman (oppo- site right).

MMBgtm ACADEMIC SURVIVAL 11 CAMPUS SPORTS Whether they want to participate directly or watch, ail Birmingham- Southern students have the op- portunity to be involved in campus sports. For the spectators there are intercollegiate sporting events throughout the entire school year. ' Southern boasts tal- ented athletes that comprise top intercollegiate baseball, soccer, basketball, and tennis teams. All these teams have records that not only please the team members, but make the entire campus proud to have them wear black and gold. For the more active students who don ' t have the chance to play in varsity sports, ' Southern spon- sors an extremely competitive in- tramurals program. The almost never-ending season of intramural sports gives all students the chance to break the study routine and have a good time. College should teach students not only to read, listen, and study, but just as importantly to interact with other people; and sports are an excel- lent way to learn. Evidently, BSC realizes the vital role that sports play in the college experience. — JAMES PENNINGTON — ' - ' ' s x n a.- 12 CAMPUS SPORTS CAMPUS SPORTS KA vs. SAE (Opposite Left).

CAMPUS SPORTS 13 THE FINAL YEAR 14 THE FINAL YEAR THE FINAL YEAR Over one-fifth of the population of Birmingham-Southern is afflicted with a malady known as senioritis. Symptons of this not-so-rare dis- ease are lethargy, drunkeness, and pessimism. It sets in some- times around or before the start of one ' s senior year. In most cases, though, it has been detected in some students as early as the sec- ond semester sophomore year. Students suffering from senioritis display nervous tension caused from taking so few classes (the average is two) while simulta- neously complaining bitterly of having to get out of bed for their 2:50 class. When they finally do get out of bed, seniors suffer from constant irritability caused by an increased nocturnal consumption of alcohol. The prognosis for those suffering from this dreaded disease is graduation and the real world or professional schools will cure all . One thing that we forgot to mention was senior apa- thy, but they don ' t care. — MELANIE MERKLE On the Hilltop (Opposite Left Inset). Conferring with Coach Dean (Opposite Center Inset).

In addition to these majors, an interdisciplinary major in Human Resources Man- agement is available in the Adult Studies Program. Students may apply for a Dual Degree which would allow them to obtain a Bachelor ' s and a Master ' s degree in five years. Also available are major programs that combine dis- ciplines within the Division with studies in other areas. A Political Science student is as- sured a wide range of options for study. This reinforces the liberal arts education background need- ed for students interested in ca- reers in law, government, and oth- er related fields. A Sociology student has a choice of two courses of study: Level I prepares students for entering oc- cupations or professional schools upon graduation. Level II is intend- ed for sociology students who plan to continue their education of sociology in graduate school. Gra- duate degrees in sociology typi- cally prepare students for careers in teaching and research in col- leges and universities, private firms, and government agencies. Psychology is also a major for those who continue their educa- tion in graduate schools and for those going into a large variety of careers which require an under- standing of the principles of hu- man behavior.

The Dance department has become an increasingly popular one in recent years. Courses of- fered range from ballet to jazz to modern dance exercises. The an- nual Spring Dance Performance gives the top dancers a chance to perform many classical and mod- ern pieces.

Also, stu- dents are able to develop majors in response to their own personal interests. The humanities are es- sential for the liberal arts educa- tion as they aid in one ' s develop- ment of imagination and creative skills providing the ability to cope with problems and challenges which face students now and in the future. They also increase our potential for self-realization and service within our community and world. MELODY TRAYLOR ' -, Grace Marquez (top) Spanish; Roy D.

FACULTY 53 1 BE r V V if j i. f y jj Although the Nursing program at ' Southern is new, it has quiclcly grown to be one of the largest pro- grams on campus, A student wish- ing to major in nursing must com- plete the prerequisites during his or her freshman year. These courses include general science classes, such as biology and chemistry, as well as the recom- mended general education re- quirements of psychology and so- ciology. During their sophomore year, nursing students begin their clinicals, nursing labs conducted at Brookwood Medical Center. These sessions are held at the hospital at least once a week and last for six hours. Along with a full day of classes, clinicals make for a very hectic schedule. Of course, this seems like a lot of hard work, but any BSC nursing student will tell you that it is well worth the added effort. One of the highlights of this year for the nurs- ing program was the Self Care Fair, consisting of booths con- cerning high blood pressure, P.M.S., nutrition, contraception, and first aid for baby sitters. On May 3, the nursing students con- ducted the fair on campus and on May 4, they moved the Fair to Five Points West Mall. With such activi- ties as the Fair, and lectures spon- sored by the Student Nurses As- sociation, the program is becoming an important part of health information at BSC as well as an outstanding teaching pro- gram for nursing students. —CONNIE HILL Clockwise from left: Patsy H.

Courses in education range from Children ' s Literature to Com- puters in Education. The Educa- tion Department offers degrees in Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education, plus majors in Educational Services and Chris- tian Education. The teaching ma- jors prepare students to become certified to teach in public schools. Education majors at ' Southern have a high rate of suc- cess in employment circles. The major in Education Services pre- pare students for professional service cajeers such as occupa- tional therapy, educational psy- chology and social work. The ma- jor in Christian Education is an inter-disciplinary major in educa- tion and religion, which prepares the student for a career in educa- tion within the Church setting. —DIANE HOLLIMAN V - Phyllis M.

Pope John Pau ll was traveling in 1984. In May he went to South Korea, Thai- land, Papua New Guinea and the Solo- mon Islands; in June he went to Swit- zerland; in September to Canada and in October to Spain, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.

Of course I am, compared to a neo-liberal communist like you. So the exaggerations fill the air as November 6 grows closer. Friends, roommates, even strang- ers are eager to convince each other that theirs is the best candi- date. Whether Democrat, Republi- can, or Independent, most stu- dents had a definite opinion about at least one political race. Although the insults and name- calling were mostly in j est, the campaign work that many stu- dents undertook was taken very seriously. Here at ' Soutiiern, the College Re- publicans sold FritzBuster T- shirts, passed out campaign lit- erature, and even went door-to- door to further their cause. Along with their on-campus work, the Republicans also worked at the lo- cal headquarters of Ronald Rea- gan, Albert Lee Smith, and Jabo Waggoner. The Young Democrats were also quite visible both on campus and off. When Walter Mondale came to Birmingham, the YDs were on hand to welcome him. They also provided absentee ballot applications for those who couldn ' t get home to vote. Was it worth the work? The Re- publicans can boast about Presi- dent Reagan ' s re-election and the several new Republican seats in the U.S. House. The Democrats can also claim victory in the re- elections of Senator Howell Heflin and Representative Ben Erdreich. Whether their candidates won or lost, members of both groups got a feeling of accomplishment from all their work. — Connie Hill ELECTION ' 84 99 THE FIRST WEEK Before the fall semester begins at ' Southern, the first few days of ac- tivity revolve around registration. This is always an unsettling time for new students, but many upperclass- men help to make the first week easier. The most visible of these are the sophomore members of the Tri- angle Club who assist the new stu- dents in everything from moving lug- gage to handling registration red tape. As soon as moving in is completed, and all the parental goodbyes are said, new students are faced with a whirlwind of seminars, convoca- tions, and meetings designed to help them start college on the right foot. The most obvious symbols of registration are the handi-packs of information that each student loves and carries with him everywhere. Dinners and parties help everyone meet new friends, and Rush enables all of its participants to meet the up- per-classmen. Finally, as registration and orienta- tion end, everyone is beginning to settle down to their new home. The course is set for the new students, and the end of their first week at BSC begins their journey through the world of higher education called college. — VICKI VAN VALKENBURGH The Begin Registration sign (above left) is a rather grim part of registration Heek when compared with its exiting end on bid day (above center).

Without the computer everything would take much longer (opposite right and opposite left). 100 THE FIRST WEEK THE FIRST WEEK THE FIRST WEEK 101 SPEAKERS The Political Science Department hosted Senator Paul Sarbanes to speak to the Freshman Seminar and at the Ninth Annual Model Senate. Sarbanes, who is a Greek immigrant, is also a Harvard gra- duate and has served on various committees during his two terms in the Senate. Murray L. Weidenbaum spoke at the 3rd Annual B.A. Monaghan Lectureship in Economics. Dr. Weidenbaum is hailed as Rea- gan ' s first Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors and directs the Center for Study of American Business at Washington Universi- ty, St. Louis. One of our visitors was Willie Mor- ris, author of NORTH TOWARD HOME and THE COURTING OF MARCUS DUPREE. Morris enter- tained those in attendance with tales of his childhood in Yazoo City, Mississippi, and his exper- iences in Texas and Oxford, and with his companions, one of the most notable being the late Tru- man Capote. Bringing a different cultural bent was Glynne W.G. Wickham, Pro- fessor Emeritus at Bristol Univer- sity, England. Wickham spoke to English, history, and theatre classes during his two-week stay at ' Southern. His visit was spon- sored by the consortium of col- leges on the Southeast that spon- sors the British Studies at Oxford Program. — CARLA HIGGINS 102 SPEAKERS SPEAKERS Economist Murray L.

In 1984, the big tradition was split into two traditions — an attempt to give the professors yet another event to condemn and give students some- thing else to blame slipping GPAs. Fall of 1984 ' s Southern Comfort saw the easy listening of Muse the first night, and on the second night, the sound and lights of Ruckus graced the Party Barn ' s stage. No one enjoyed their talents more than ou r own Stu- dent Affairs secretary, Gwen Dill, and her husband. Chuck. In addition to Fall Southern Comfort, the SGA sponsors numerous parties throughout the year. Many students took advantage of the ATSI ' s Hallow- een party that followed Quest M ' s mov- ie on the quad. Good food and drinks boosted the spirits of students who were despondent about not being able to be with family at this joyous time. — BUD EVERS I FALL PARTIES 105 UNDER CONSTRUCTION With the help of a $2.6 million grant from the Olin Foundation, construction began on the new science and mathematics building in August, if all goes according to schedule, the building should be ready by the fall of 1986. When finished the building will house an impressive computer system that will enable every student on cam- pus to use the computer, not only in Computer Science courses, but in all facets of academic life. The facility will be one of the finest in the South, if not the entire coun- try. This addition to the ever-ex- panding Birmingham — Southern curriculum once again justifies the college ' s place as a leader in liber- al arts education throughout the United States. — TOM DOGGETT 106 UNDER CONSTRUCTION UNDER CONSTRUCTION UNDER CONSTRUCTION 107 CHRISTMAS ON THE HILLTOP At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year. This quote by author Thomas Husser could qualify as a forecast for Birming- ham-Southern during the holiday season. Christmas becomes a special time at ' Southern which is celebrated in many ways. The an- nual Carol Service at McCoy Meth- odist is always a hit. Television specials of our youth such as CHARLIE BROWN and THE GRINCH WHO STOLE CHRIST- MAS, present sufficient reasons for having festive dorm parties. And of course, whether 14 inches or 14 feet tall, spruce or pine, real or plastic, right side up or upside down; the Birmingham-Southern Christmas Tree remains match- less. — TOM DOGGETT 108 CHRISTMAS ON THE HILLTOP CHRISTMAS ON THE HILLTOP m A KSSS m iHI HI l ■x ' ( X _i Bud Evers and Tynes Cowan (right).

The event opened with a Patron ' s Dinner at the South Central Bell Building on Thursday, and a fine arts showcase at the College The- atre followed by an Honorees Lun- cheon and news conference on Friday. GALA 7 was brought to a close with an elaborate awards dinner at the Civic Center Friday evening.

Bands such as The Deltones, Surf, and the Lost in the Mali Band, not to mention The White Animals and the Extras, had students be-bopping all term long. Special party events such as Casino and Mr. Hilltopper provided an escape to an evening of fun, fantasy, and frolic. Combined, these and other calamaties keep ' Southern students sane on a sometimes insane Hilltop. 118 SPRING PARTIES SPRING PARTIES SPRING PARTIES 119 HOMECOMING 1 Homecoming ' 85 was a week long cele- bration Southern Style.

HOMECOMING 121 GREEK WEEK Greek Week at Birmingham- Southern: it has always been a time of intense competition, cre- ativity, concentration of effort, and sweat, besides being a whole lot of fun. This year ' s Greek Week was no exception. Whether they were searching for obscure Scav- enger Hunt items, giving blood, participating in athletic events, or singing their hearts and lungs out, ■Southern ' s Greeks held true to form in the spirit of Greek Week. In this spirit, competition was tough, to say the least. In Greek Games, there was a tie for the win be- tween Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Tau Omega in the men ' s di- vision. Alpha Omicron Pi was the women ' s winner. The highlight of Greek Week was Greek Sing. Zeta Tau Alpha was victorious again, and the men of Kappa Alpha held on to their Greek Sing crown. The Overall winners for Greek Week were Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Zeta Tau Alpha. Even though ev- eryone could not win, everyone had a great time all week. — STAN GLASSCOX 122 GREEK WEEK GREEK WEEK GREEK WEEK 123 STUFF A i ...Mj-.-Jmti ' Jt . 124 STUFF STUFF STUFF 125 WHO ' S WHO WHO ' S WHO Page 126, clockwise from top left: John Randall Adams, Cynthia Rena Wil- liams, Margery Elizabeth Sams, Cathy Dawn Brooks.

Morgan of Jackson, Miss., followed by the ad- dress by Mr. Henry C. Goodrich of SONAT, Inc.

On the contrary, Greek life enables you to share and grow with a group of friends who are concerned with helping you achieve your personal ambitions. Greek life provides a social and recreational outlet through formal and informal gatherings and a competitive intramural program. More importantly, it offers the op- portunity to make life-long friends and allows an individual to be-i come involved in a leadership role in the fraternity, on the campus and in the community.

TENNIS 199 ■■■ TENNIS The Men ' s Tennis Team returned five solid players from the 1983- 84 season, and also two outstand- ing recruits— Mark Viner, a fresh- man who was All-Conference last year at Lake Mary High School, and Barry Decatur, a junior trans- fer from Brandenburg, Kentucky. Returning senior Chris DuPont and junior Nik Makarenko, who was ranked in top 20 in the NAIA last year, teamed up to post a 16-5 mark as last season ' s number one doubles team. DuPont also proved a strong singles player, as did sophomore John Manser and ju- niors John Collar and John Watts. n 200 Tennis TENNIS f ' f:f-.. ...j 4-..f The Women ' s Tennis Team had six returning players from last year ' s team, which finished 15-5, won the District 27 Title and earned a fourth straight trip to the NAIA National Tournament. Sheri Scholl, Julie Bushmiaer, and Linda Hershfelt, the senior members of the team, along with three sopho- mores. Heather Comfort, Nancy Griffith, Erin Kuehn, comprise the returning members. Comfort was the District Champion in the Num- ber One position last year. Griffith won the Number Three spot in the District, and Scholl won the Num- ber Five singles position. This ex- perience and talent combined with the addition of Emily Dukes, and impressive transfer from the University of Alabama, provided an exciting year for the 1985 BSC Women ' s Tennis Team. i i i ■_ TENNIS 201 — ' ■ 202 TENNIS TENNIS h TENNIS 203 SOCCER :-••.«; Coach Preston Goldfarb (above and right).

In his first season, 1983, Coach Preston Goldfarb fielded a young team which came on strong late in the year to win four of its final six matches and finish with a 4-11 record. This year there was an air of ex- citement surrounding the young program at Birmingham-Southern. Improvements were made to the ' Southern Soccer Field, Coach Goldfarb put together a competi- tive and challenging 18 game schedule which included rivals Samford and UAB, and all 9 home games were televised on Birming- ham Cable Television. Goldfarb also instituted a rigorous off-sea- son training program and devel- oped in his players an enthusiasm and a style of play which greatly enhanced their competitiveness in 1984. In short, the stage was set for an exciting beginning to another outstanding athletic tradi- tion on The Hilltop. Among those who returned from the 1983 squad were: junior Scott Bryant, the team ' s leading scorer a year ago and one of the captains on this year ' s squad; David York, a senior captain described by Gold- farb as an intelligent player; - ;SS,h: •- .■ ;Sts2 -  if ' - ' • v ' ' ■ ■■ ;«• ' ' ' • ' Mi ' - ' M:f i,r-v ' ' :f j i2 ' t«i A:i%m .

BASKETBALL 215 BASKETBALL JOE DEAN Head Basketball Coach Coach Dean came to Birmingham- Southern from the University of Kentucky in 1983, and in his first season as head coach guided the Panthers to a 23-8 record and a trip to the NAIA National Tourna- ment. The 30-year-old Louisiana native was named Coach of the Year in both the Southern States Conference and NAIA District 27 at the end of the season. Dean served as an assistant coach at Kentucky from 1977- 1983 and during that period the Wildcats vion the 1978 National Title, four Southeastern Confer- ence championships and com- piled an overall record of 145-42. Dean collaborated v ith Kentucky Head Coach Joe B. Hall to write KENTUCKY OFFENSIVE BASKET- BALL which was published last year. Prior to his work at Kentucky, Coach Dean was a graduate assis- tant coach at Mississippi State University. He earned both a bach- elor ' s and master ' s degree in physical education and was a three-year basketball letterman for the Bulldogs. 216 BASKETBALL BASKETBALL 5- -J m% — «l I 1 mt ■ ■■f ' In addition to the many hours de- voted to coaching, ' Southern ' s enthusiastic young coach puts in many hours off the court. He be- gan the BSC Black Tie Club, a sup- port group for BSC basketball. He also started the Birmingham- Southern Basketball Day School and, along with Associate Coach Roby Phillips, headed that suc- cessful camp last summer. Coach Dean has also involved himself in the community, and last year was selected by the Birmingham Jay- cees as one of the Outstanding Young Leaders in the Birmingham Area. Coach Joe Dean ' s pre-season comments on the 1984-1985 Pan- thers: This should be an exciting team to watch and one that will improve as the season pro- gresses. The inexperience of our new players is a question mark, but one which we can overcome through hard work, discipline, and dedication. I believe we have the kind of young men who will dis- play those characteristics. BASKETBALL 217 BASKETBALL This year Coach Dean had the tough chore of finding replace- ments for six of his outstanding seniors who graduated in 1984. Those players finished their play- ing careers without ever losing a game in Bill Battle Coliseum. The return of three solid seniors, led by Academic Ail-American Alan Gruman, made the task somewhat easier. Gruman, a 6 ' 9 center from Birmingham ' s John Carroll High School, was fourth in scoring in the ' 83- ' 84 season and third in rebounding. Gruman turned in his best performance when he scored 18 points and pulled down nine re- bounds in a 92-83 victory over number one ranked West Virginia Wesleyan. Gruman showed marked improvement throughout the season and blocked six shots in the post-season Southern States Conference All-Star game. The other two returning seniors also contributed a great deal to the Panther ' s success in the ' 84 season. Gary Clark, a 6 ' 5 center with excellent jumping and shoot- ing abilities, came off the bench to spark several victories during that season. Clark shot better than 52 percent for the year. Toviris Rooks, a 6 ' 1 guard-forward from Birmingham ' s Holy Family School, won the Panther Award for his hustle and team spirit in the ' 84 season. Redshirt freshman Paul McCrary, a 6 ' 1 guard from Huntsville, worked hard during his year lay- off and showed tremendous im- provement in the Birmingham Summer Basketball League. 218 BASKETBALL N V Four juniors came out of tough ju- nior college leagues in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Kel- vin Elston, a 6 ' 0 guard from Cha- tanooga, was an All-Western Divi- sion selection in the Tennessee Junior college League and brought with him an exciting leap- ing ability that wooed fans in the Birmingham Summer Basketball League. Jody Jacobs, a 6 ' 3 guard from Phenix City, Alabama, led his Chattahoochee Valley Ju- nior College team to the State Ju- nior College Finals where he was named to the five-man All-Tourna- ment Team. John London, a 6 ' 3 guard-forward from Brookhaven, Mississippi, was selected to the Mississippi-Louisiana All-Region Junior College Team. Sam Gates, a 6 ' 4y2 forward from Cherokee, Alabama, led Calhoun Community College to the National Junior Col- lege Tournament in his freshman year. Two freshmen also made their presence known for BSC this sea- son. Russell Smith, a 6 ' 10 center from Pennington High School in Blountsville, Alabama, and Brody Black, a 6 ' 6 forward from Ath- ens, Alabama, added to the depth of the team. The Panthers also had help from walk-ons Todd Nielson, a 6 ' 4 guard from Creston, Iowa, and Landis Harris, a 6 ' 3 guard- forward from Mountain Brook High School in Birmingham. 219 s BASKETBALL THE TRADITION CONTINUES The Birmingham-Southern bas- ketball team continued their win- ning streal to 39 games in a row in Bill Battle Coliseum. The Panthers have not lost on their home floor since January 30, 1982. The streal is something for us to take pride in and work to keep go- ing, says Coach Dean. Birming- ham-Southern has a great basket- ball tradition and to keep a long winning streak going at home just continues to add to our tradition. This season, the Panthers put the streak on the line 12 times, beat- ing some of their fiercest competi- tors. One thing is certain. The Pan- thers are hard to beat at home. 220 BASKETBALL BASKETBALL BSC ' s BLACK TIE CLUB The Birmingham-Southern Col- lege Black Tie Club began in 1983 as a support group for Panther basketball. More than 100 people demonstrated their support for BSC basketball by joining the or- ganization. Black Tie members had the opportunity to hear some of the top names in basketball in the Southeast such as Murray Ar- nold, head coach at UT — Chattan- ooga; Alabama Coach Wimp San- derson; University of South Alabama Coach Mike Hanks; Au- burn ' s Sonny Smith and Vander- bilt ' s CM. Newton. At this year ' s BTC Awards Banquet, members had the opportunity to hear Coach John Wooden, former head coach at UCLA. BASKETBALL 221 BASKETBALL The 1984-85 edition of the Bir- mingham-Southern College bas- ketball team continued the win- ning tradition on the Hilltop. The squad was almost completely new with only two players returning from last year. The team was ex- citing to watch as they exhibited good outside shooting, strong in- side play, exceptional leaping ability, and aggressive defense. The Panthers ranked among the conference leaders in several sta- tistical categories including field goal percentage, rebounds per game, points allowed per game, and field goal percentage al- lowed. A major strength of the team was balanced scoring with all five starters averaging in double fig- ures. The best point production came from the guard positions with John London, Kelvin Elston, and Jody Jacobs leading the way. Alan Gruman and Sam Gates pro- vided inside support and account- ed for more than twenty points per game. Each of the five starters lead the team in scoring for at least two games during the sea- son. The Panthers played outstanding defense throughout the year al- lowing opponents just over 40 points per game. Good size and quickness made full-court pres- sure and man-to-man coverage effective defense weapons. 222 BASKETBALL BASKETBALL The string of consecutive wins at home grew to almost forty games during the season. Bill Battle Coli- seum is gaining a reputation as one of the most difficult places in the country for the visiting team to win. The 1984-1985 Panthers used good talent, hard work, and ag- gressive play to produce another successful campaign and contin- ue the winning tradition of BSC basketball DR. T. MOORE BASKETBALL 223 BASKETBALL When I get out on the floor at a home game, losing doesn ' t seem as possible as on the road. I don ' t feel as if we are going to lose when we play a game at home. If it ' s a close game, I know we ' ll pull it out. We ' ve been doing it for three years and it ' s not going to stop now. The streak doesn ' t cause pressure, it relaxes us more. JIM CREGO 224 BASKETBALL BASKETBALL The key to winning is caring about your teammates. We have unity on this year ' s team. It ' s just five guys out there working to- gether. I don ' t consider our team as having just one star. We work together as the star is the whole team.

A 1978 graduate of BSC, Randall was the last athlete to participate in both basketball and baseball at Birmingham-Southern. He was a pitcher on Coach Mewbourne ' s 1977 and 1978 teams and played forward for Coach Murray Arnold on the 1977 BSC basketball team. A native of St. Petersburg, Florida, Randall attended Boca Ciega High School where he lettered three years in both basketball and base- ball. He attended St. Petersburg Junior College his freshman and sophomore years and was named to the Florida Junior College All- Star Baseball team and the All-Di- vision III Basketball squad. He was a second leading scorer in Florida junior college basketball during his sophomore season. At Birmingtiam-Southem Randall was a Dean ' s List Student and re- ceived the Tom S. Yielding Memo- rial Scholarship which is awarded to outstanding scholar athletes. He was named to the NAIA All-Dis- trict 27 Baseball team following his senior season. MM M k js ' C r J 228 BASEBALL Ki- BASEBALL After graduating from BSC he served as a graduate assistant baseball coach at the University of Tennessee. He received his mas- ter ' s degree in physical education from Tennessee in 1979. During his four years at Vander- built as pitching coach, the Com- modores won 1 10 and lost 88 and won the Southern Conference Championship in 1981. Three Vandy pitchers were drafted by professional baseball teams dur- ing Coach Randall ' s time at the school. In addition to guiding BSC to its 16th consecutive winning season and 13th straight District 27 bid in his first season, Coach Randall be- gan working to improve all areas of the baseball program last year. He started the BSC Baseball Dia- mond Club, which is the support group for ' Southern Baseball, or- ganized an annual BSC Alumni game and started the BSC All-Star Baseball Camp. Also under his di- rection as head coach, improve- ments have been made to the baseball field and surrounding fa- cilities, the BSC Media Guide has been expanded and improved and the Diamond Darlings, BSC ' s team of batgirls, have been added to the program. Birmingham-South- ern also hosted the High School All-Star game and the Junior Col- lege Fall Baseball Tournament last year. BASEBALL 229 BCT- ' IBI lPff BW BASEBALL Last season the Birmingham- Southern lineup included seven players who hit .300 or better and as a team the Panthers completed the year hitting a very healthy .312 clip. But at the season ' s close Head Coach Gary Randall faced the task of having to replace six of those big bats as well as two starting pitchers. In all, BSC lost 14 players to graduation from the 27-19 squad which finished sec- ond in the Southern States Con- ference. After such a devasting blow most coaches would quickly term the upcoming season a rebuilding year. But Randall, who entered hi s second term as a head coach, was a bit more optimistic following a successful recruiting year and was even ready to say that the 1985 Panthers had more potential than last year ' s group. BSC was faced with finding replacements this season for All-District 27 pitcher Kirk Barnard, who lead the team with six wins and 72 innings pitched, and Lou Griffey, who had a team-high 52 strikeouts. Return- ing to the mound will be Derek Sharp, 5-2 last season with the lowest ERA on the team (2.26), and John Hackett, who was 5-3 as a starter last season. Joining Hackett and Sharp in the starting rotation was junior col- CHAMPIOI kJI iPll 4 I 1978 OUTHERN -(.0! :0 6-NELSu7v son; I « 230 BASEBALL tUm BASEBALL 5CTSDSlii«: «?iiSt ' ii lege transfers Joe Bend and Mark North. Bend was 9-0 last season with a 1 .53 earned run average for Triton Junior College in Illinois. Bend impressed the BSC Coaches during the fall season with his curve ball and outstanding con- trol. North was 9-3 for Jefferson State last year and fanned 89 bat- ters in 69 innings. According to Randall, the big left-hander has all of the tools to be a top-notch performer. Two talented fresh- men, Daren Burns from Garden- dale and Jeff Prozan from Toney, Alabama, also contributed to the team. Burns, considered by many scouts as the top high school pitcher in the Birmingham area last year, compiled a 23-6 career record at Gardendale High School and was MVP of the state tourna- ment. Prozan made significant strides during the fall and the lefthander from Sparkman saw ac- tion this year as a spot starter and reliever. Two players who were counted on in the outfield and to pull mound duty this year. Dale Bobbs and Terry Sloan, both hard- throwing righthanders, were used as relievers when the need arose. Academic All-American catcher Dale Nelson, the team ' s leading hitter last season with a .393 bat- ting average, returned in 1985 to close out a stellar four-year ca- reer. Nelson earned All-District BASEBALL 231 BASEBALL honors for the second straight year as he tied for the league lead in hitting. A trio of capable back- up catchers allowed Nelson to spend time in the outfield and as the designated hitter. Mark Mas- cola from Aquinas Junior College in Nashville has excellent skills behind the plate and added power to the BSC lineup. Mascola also saw time as a designated hitter. Jeff Soles from Dekalb Junior Col- lege possessed the strongest arm of the catchers and continued to improve as a hitter. Trent Lowery improved steadily behind the plate since his arrival as a fresh- man and continued improvement in 85. Co-Captain Ricci Lattanzi, side- lined last season with a hand in- jury, was switched to first base for the 1985 season. A fierce com- petitor, Lattanzi hit .282 last sea- son in his 39 plate appearances. Marc Mullins, an outstanding field- er and a .400 hitter last season at Wallace Community College in Dothan, nailed down the starting slot at second base. Backing Mul- lins up was Richard Chen, who was the fastest player on the team, was counted on heavily last season as a pinch and designated runner. Jon Massey, a transfer student from the University of Tennessee, stepped in to fill the third base position. Massey brought lefthanded power to the lineup. Gil Grimes, a senior, pro- vided back-up help at third base. ' Stt • sisates . - _ a a-jifc-. 232 BASEBALL BASEBALL ir Van Shumaker, an excellent field- er who hit .313 for Chattanooga State Community College last season, held down the shortstop position. Co-Captain Scott Sibley was the only returner in the outfield. Sibley hit .258 and tied for the team lead in walks last year with 33. Battling for the other two outfield posi- tions was Dale Dobbs, who started in the infield last season before being injured; Rocky Farmer, a .287 hitter last season at Chata- hoochee Valley Community Col- lege who stole 34 of 36 bases, and Terry Sloan, who hit .388 with 8 homers and 37 runs batted in last season in junior college. Farmer can also play in the infield and did some this year. Nelson also helped in the outfield. 1985 was not the best season for the BSC Panthers, but it was a good rebuilding year.

To Bir- mingham residents, and Birming- ham-Southern students, in par- ticular, Southside is an institution. Although Five Points South is a few miles away, most people find it well worth the drive. Many resi- dents from the Hilltop can be found ending a rough week of studying at Louie Louie ' s, Bir- mingham ' s Mecca for local bands. And if the band isn ' t entertaining enough, most will find it highly amusing to stand near the door and watch area high school stu- dents unsuccessfully try to gain entrance with fake I.D. ' s. Another popular weekend attraction is the jazz pianist at Joe ' s, easily South- side ' s most atmospheric bar. Both Clyde Houston ' s and Rube Bur- row ' s also entertain the BSC crowd, offering lunch, dinner, and famous Long Island Teas, while Kaoute ' s Chinese fast food re- mains a BSC late night favorite. On a warm spring afternoon, one can find many ' Southerner ' s delight- ing in Stillman ' s many flavors of ice cream. Another popular South- side nightspot, the Courtyard, closed its doors during the school year, and many diehard fans from Southern migrated to Louie ' s to console themselves with a batch of Happy Hour specials. Shortly thereafter, however, the old club reopened and is maintaining its popularity under the name of Aus- tin ' s. All of these are just a few of the places that make up South- side, the home of partying for Bir- mingham ' s upstanding citizens of tomorrow. — VICKI VAN VALKENBURGH 240 CLOSING SOUTHSIDE ■ m- L «V I • • i: i a CLOSING 241 E ann A HILLTOP WINTER yjfyr -f 4a 242 CLOSING A HILLTOP WINTER The phrase what a difference a day can make was certainly ap- plicable to January 19, 1985. Compared to normal winter stan- dards, it was a beautiful spring day. Then at 9:30 pm the Alberta Clipper passed through Birming- ham. By 1:00 am the snow began falling, and the temperature had already dropped to fourteen de- grees, thirty-eight degrees lower than earlier that afternoon. It eventually went down to two de- grees below zero. On Sunday, Bir- mingham-Southern students awoke to a one-inch blanket of snow covering the ground and a high temperature of only seven degrees. With gusts of wind over twenty miles per hour, the wind chill factor sank to a frightfully low thirty-three degrees below. The actual temperature went to six de- grees below zero, the coldest temperature recorded in Birming- ham in this century. Classes were cancelled, to the delight of stu- dents, who obviously enjoyed their day of playing in the snow. — TOM DOGGETT Ramsey behind a snow covered aca- demic quad, opposite above.
