Preface The time spanning 1985 and 1966 was highlighted with many memorable events. This was trae, not only for the world as a whole, but also for our own Ht- tle world within the gates of BSC. We saw the opening of a multi million dollar computer math caiter, as well as plans to rebuild the oldest building on campus. Ramsey Hall. We shared the dtement of Dr. and Mrs. Berte as they celebrated their tenth an- niversary with the college, and felt uiness as we said our good- byes to Dr. Bailey, an institution in hhnself . Every year, as the year grinds on, diese experiences change oar lives. Whether these events effect us positively or adversely they are experiences which make each of us a better person in some aspect of our being. It is the job of the yearbook to record these events, that they might be preserved. The 1986 Southern Accent is very new in comparison to other yearbooks from Birmingham Southern College. We have set out to capture, not only the images, but also the spirit of the year. The format is new, different, and dynamic. It utilizes a dominate idiotograph, with satellite photo- graphs of varioiis sizes, and in- creased copy. College is a time of exploration. It is a time in our lives of eye opening experiences, as weU as a time when spontaneous actions determine the course of our fu- ture. We have tried to capture these events. We hope each of you will enjoy this volume of the yearbook, and may all of your fonidest memories be rekindled by the pages of the 1986 Southern The IdHtoES ' CoBigress Calalog ' Ca ?%-81741 Southern Accent Excellence Endures Staff Co-Editors Cari Gisler Jay McKinney Advisor Elaine Fredericksen Business Manager Thomas Waters Photographers Deborah Holland Michael Geer Mack Eraser Contributing Photographers: Jay McKinney, Don Newton, Kathie Tharpe, Deborah Walden, Greg Evans, Ted Fischer, Maria Hatzigeorgis, Jennifer Howard, Steve Sewell, Karen Drews, Craig Smith Secretary Kimberly Hutcherson Colophon: The 1986 Southern Accent is the 45th volume of the yearbook of Birmingham Southern College, since its name changed from La Review in 1941.
