For the past two years, the yearbook staff has felt the need for a name change. For several years, the Queens yearbook was called The Coronet. A former editor looked up the word coronet and discovered it meant the crown of a subordinate ' While investigating the matter, we wondered to whom we were subordinate. We may have to fight for equality off-campus, but we are equal to each other at Queens. Several new names were considered for the annual, but we felt that one best conveyed the spirit of the school: Aret6. Aret£, as anyone who takes a course in Greek culture will learn, is the Greek ideal of excellence. Queens constantly strives for excellence in different ways. Our liberal arts curriculum stresses learning in different disciplines to make us well- rounded people. Students strive for excellence in class, at play, and on commit- tees. Professors help us reach our goals by challenging us to stretch our minds. The administration works diligently at making this an excellent school by adding new programs and strengthening old ones, making the academic environment comfortable, yet challenging. Plato felt that we as individuals can never achieve absolute excellence. That may be true of us as separate individuals, but together we combine our efforts to make things stand out. With the people we have at Queens College we can achieve excellence. Striving for Excellence TOP: Everyone makes new friends when they go to college.

We are human; we want to exceed our goals and that's good. It keeps us on our toes. When the Charlotte Female Institute opened its doors in 1857, most of the students took courses in sewing and music. After gradu- ation, these women either got married or taught school. Now several doctors, lawyers, bankers, and scholars call Queens College their alma mater. Queens has grown up. It outgrew its first three campuses, and several buildings have been added to the present location. However, the physical plant isn't the only thing that has expanded at Queens. The curriculum is much wider than it was five years ago. Women from the ages of 18-22 are not the only ones to take advantage of what Queens has to offer. The New Dimensions program is designed for women over 25 who want to complete their college education. The Live, Work, Study pro- gram is designed to give older students the opportunity to live on campus, attend classes, and work in an outside job. The co-education- al Graduate School, New College, and Queens Institute of Lifelong Learning are three other offerings at Queens. These classes are taught in the evening to allow members of the com- munity to take advantage of our resources. Through the years, we have become better. We offer programs to a more diverse audi- ence. We've expanded our facilities. Our stu- dents are of a higher academic calibre. We're happy with it, but it's not enough. We're hu- man. We keep striving for excellence. Opening 5 6 Dedication Seasons BASINI - A Man of All Basini. What wonderful things I could tell you about the man that he would not tell you himself! Basini would be the first to tell you that he is handsome, charming, witty, a financial genius — an outstanding professor, and above all an enterprising entrepreneur. And his students, of course, agree with him. Yet, underlying this cocky exterior lies the heart of a warm and caring individual. He takes an interest not only in the academic lives of his students, but in their personal lives as well. He is never too busy in that huge office of his to take time out of his schedule to talk to anyone who pops in. Of course, you will be interrupted several times by the telephone or by other people, but he always keeps you there by a quick wink of the eye and a smile on his face. Over the four years that I have known Basini, he has always been the bright spot in my day. Of course, there have been times that I wanted to strangle that little Italian neck of his, but I know that the feeling has been mutual. Business majors are not the only ones that fall under his charms. Sociology, English, and Biology majors all alike know Basini by his jaunty walk, his quick wit, and by the way he calls everyone by the first syllable of their first name. He is truly a favorite around campus. Yet the ones that are really his girls are the seniors. He exemplifies the personality of our class; involved, energetic, caring, and fun-loving. Basini, you have said this year that you don't know what you will do next year without us, but the real question is, what will we do without you? -Susan Tate m Dedicationi Student Life Lifestyles change when the transition is made from high school to college. Gone is the day when you always got up early and fixed your hair and make-up just right for that special guy in history class. Now, you have to choose whether to push the snooze button a few more times or roll out of bed, and slip on sweats and run to class. Mom and Dad are gone, they are no longer there to make your decisions. No one tells you whether to participate in orientation activities, go through sorority rush, to run for class president, and never do you hear, get up, it is time for class! (unless you have one GREAT roommate) It is now all up to you! You have to set your own priorities and goals to achieve. Your ability to strive for excellence on the Queens campus can make or break you, not only academically but socially. There are many opportunities to take advantage of during college and if they are taken seriously they can provide a lot of satisfaction. Nothing is more rewarding than being an orientation leader, singing in the Queens Choir, serving at the Moravian Love Feast, being in the fall drama, or writing for the Queens Current; just to name a few, blit the decisions are YOURS. Graduation is a long way from the Queens Connection and the decisions get even more difficult to make — like whether to finish your term paper that is due Monday morning at 9:00 a.m. or go to the beach with the buds. Student Life 9 Tm T 7 don't know what I'd do without those girls in the blue t-shirts. A freshman's father Frankly, a lot of people wouldn't know what to do without Orientation leaders. For one thing, the new students would have to unload their cars by them- selves. There would be no ice cream social, no cam- pus tour guides, and Dean Kerr would have to teach Violent Love to the new students. The hard work and FUN began August 23 for the Orientation leaders. During the two-day workshop that preceded orientation, the leaders were taught new games, learned about the psychological as- pects of Orientation and strategies of handling a group of new students. On August 25, the new students arrived. Around 11:00 a.m. it began to rain, but it didn't dampen the spirits of the orientation leaders: they continued to bring stereos, teddy bears, and clothes to dry safety. The leaders' job of helping out didn't stop after the big move-in: they were always around to help answer questions, lead campus tours, and participate in games. Basically ori- entation leaders are around to help make the transi- tion from leaving home and going to college a little more bearable. Fortunately, the only activity planned during Ori- entation was not unloading cars. The Orientation Committee, composed of four students, Cathy Jea- kle, and Dean Kerr, planned a great variety of activi- ties. Some of the planned events were an ice cream- goodbye party for the parents, entertainment by the leaders and committee in Tillett, a city tour, a picnic at Park Road Park, a Charlotte O's Baseball game, a movie at the Cinema and Drafthouse, and an unfor- gettable trip to Carowinds. Overall, Orientation '83 was a success. The mon- ey and effort put into Orientation really showed this year. said Leader Tammy Breneman. It was an im- provement over past orientations, which is a good sign for the future. Maybe the enrollment will grow. — Allison Lyon ABOVE: A turtle always adds “snap to a dorm room according to Cathr Poral.

That is the trip to Carowinds on Sunday, August 28. That morning I went to my church, which is in Charlotte, because it was Homecoming Sunday. The church is more crowded on Homecoming Sunday than any other Sunday except Easter, and I had to sing in the choir. That, plus the fact that I was joining a brand new Sunday School class of which my mother is the su- perintendent meant that it was a day I could not miss. Clad in my Queens Orientation T-shirt, blue shorts, and tennis shoes, I left the big church picnic early, at 1:15. When I drove up to school at 1:451 got the distinct impression that I was alone. I ran up to my room to see if my friends had left a message on my door telling me where to meet the bus. The message on my door was that they left at 1:15 in- stead of 2:00 as originally scheduled. More surprising than the message was the fact that my door was open! My roommate, Michele, and her family had just arrived. I was so glad to see Michele because I had been without a roommate for the three days that I had been at school. Besides, the prospect of spend- ing all of Sunday alone in the dorm was less than thrilling. After unpacking, we all took a tour of the campus, guided by none other than myself. Michele and I drove to my house after her parents left for their hotel, and that evening we went out to cfnner with her family. All went well, and my roommate and I are great friends now. Although I had wanted to go to Carowinds for nostalgic reasons (I used to work there), it worked out best that I did not go. Michele needed me here, and I was glad to be here!

Senior Recognition Day is one day set aside in the fall of each year for Queens to honor her graduates. This day marks the first occasion for the seniors to wear their caps and gowns. From this day on the seniors will be off and running; finishing last minute requirements, job interviews, applying for grad school, or looking for Mr. Right! The seniors invited Dr. Rebecca jann to address them during the convocation held in Belk Chapel. She spoke about her own college days and as usual had her audi- ence in stitches. After the convocation, all of the seniors stood out- side of Belk and smiled for pictures. Yes! They are off and running. Senior Recognition 15 What a Feeling! RUSH 1983 Sorority rush was held September 29-October 2. Ninety- seven women registered to participate in this time-consuming, but important aspect of Greek life. Each group of rushees went to each of the four parties on Thursday from 5:45-7:30 p.m. All women were invited by at least one house to the parties on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, 79 women attended at least one of the preferential parties from 1:45- 4:45, but only 77 chose to sign preference cards for bids. Sunday night, 72 women received bids. Two houses reached quota of 22; they were Alpha Delta Pi and Chi Omega. Kappa Delta had 11 women formally Pledge, and Phi Mu had 17 women. Any house that did not reach quota was free to issue open bids at any time. Activities Coordinator Cathy jeakly commented that about 10 per cent of the women who participated in rush (not including those who withdrew) were not issued bids. She felt that this was a substantial amount and only wished that something could be done to alleviate this problem. — Pam Prince TOP LEFT: Chi Omegas Alison Forsythe and Lynda Easterly take a break from rush workshop to test drive their new choo-choo.

A Star bigger than Robert Redford? Yes. Queens College has their very own celebrity in their midst. He is an English professor and has been making plays, poetry, and even simple words come alive to his students since he first came to Queens. That local boy who made good is none oth- er than Dr. Charles O. Hadley. During the summer of 1983, Dr. Hadley had the opportunity to coach such stars as Charl- ton Heston, Wayne Rogers, Keith Carradine, Billy Dee Williams, and Steven Collins in the art of speaking southern for the mini series Chiefs. Hollywood had maintained a file on Dr. Hadley through his work with Vivien Leigh on A Streetcar Named Desire over 30 years ago. The opportunity came while sitting in his office one day in May. Dr. Hadley received a call from Hollywood asking him if he would like the job. And so, Dr. Charles Hadley — Dialeti- cian (to the stars) was born! One might think that working with such ce- lebrities would cause a person to be quite ner- vous. Dr. Hadley was nervous — at first. He found, however, that once you begin work- ing, eating, and in a sense, living with these people, every day for a couple of months, one does not have the time for the jitters. The cast and Dr. Hadley became one big family! When asked his feelings about the whole affair, he said, Riches and fame have not made me the ecstatically happy person I hoped they would. For any of you who feel differently about being in such a position as he, and wonder how you can get that lucky break, Dr. Hadley suggests that you begin with his English 103 course (Voice and Diction), and ah, yes, - DON'T FORGET THE CHOCO- LATE!! — Mary Beth Kay ABOVE: Dr. Hadley waves from the maintenance mobile and is being followed by local Chiefs cast.

When the lights go down for the last time, the cast hurries off stage, not stop- ping to congratulate one another. All make a mad dash for the dressing room .. . and relief. Why? In an effort to make the production as au- thentic as possible, the director, Phyllis Van Cleare, insisted that close attention be paid to the detailing of the costumes. The costumes, borrowed from the Western University of Kentucky, were copies of the Holbien portraits of Henry VIII and his six wives. Being exact copies, they required the full regalia that accompanied 16th century costumes — in short, corsets and farthingales for the women, and tights and a type of smock dress for King Henry, played by Stephen Ware. The corsets were quite merciless, both to the wearer and the dresser. Stage Manager Donna Mobley complained of blisters from the strain of tightening the corset laces. Queen Anne Boleyn (Karen Richardson) complained of broken ribs. With waists indented by several inches, one mystery remained. Where did it all go? Only the queens with a slightly strained smiles, have the an- swer to that. — Ellen Abshire i : • Ask anyone on campus and they will tell you Christmas is their favorite time of year at Queens. If you have problems getting into the Christmas spirit, come to one of the many Yule time activities and you will be ready to buy a tree for your dorm room. The Christmas season began with a formal dance on December 3, in Morri- son. Earlier that day a huge tree was decorated in Burwell Parlors by the Spe- cial Events committee and anyone else from the campus who wanted to help. The following Wednesday night, De- cember 7, the annual Boars Head dinner was held. Members of Valkyrie, the Queens Choir, and honored seniors dressed in med-evil costumes and to- gether carried in the boar's head. The old story was then read of the English student who kills a wild boar on his way home from school by shoving a book down the animal's throat. The ceremony was concluded by Dr. Wireman's procla- mation, Let the feasting begin! Before the dinner, the seniors have traditionally had a champagne party. This year the seniors gathered in the lobby of Long where they popped open their champagne and ate cheese and crack- ers. In the midst of their celebrating, they also decorated their Christmas tree and invited Steve Kelley over to take pic- tures. After everyone feasted on prime rib, broccoli, and baked potatoes, it was time for singing Christmas carols. Dr. Lamers accompanied the jolly group on the piano. But before the evening end- ed, members of a mid-evil dance troupe invited everyone to join in a traditional dance. Girls danced, clapped, laughed and sang as the troupe led them in the middle of the dining hall. The final Christmas tradition is the Moravion Love Feast. Dispite the down- pour of rain and freezing temperatures, members of the Queens community gathered in Belk Chapel on December 11. Under the direction of Jennifer Burns, various professors and students took turns to read the story of Jesus Christ's birth. The entire congregation sang Christmas carols as several members of the student body passed out Moravian buns and fresh coffee. Following the ser- vice, everyone went by candle light to Burwell Parlors for hot chocolate and cookies. Because of the rain, the out- door Christmas tree was lit by mainte- nance, and O Christmas Tree was sung inside instead of out. After two weeks of special Christmas events, even the Grench would feel the Christmas spirit. Now, only exams stood in the way of Christmas break.

A few traditions around Queens changed during the Christmas holidays. This was the first year a real, live tree was used in Burwell Parlors instead of the old plastic standby. Special Events was a new committee that took on the responsibil- ity of the tree trim this year. A new pro- fessor on campus this fall, Dr. Whalen, played Santa Claus. The senior class also started a new tradition . They had a pic- ture made of all four year Queenies dur- ing Boar's Head. But these are only mild changes. No one would want some traditions to change. Christmas would not be the same without a Boar's Head dinner or a Moravian Love Feast - Christmas at Queens that is. Dr. Whalen, alias St. Nick is surrounded by mem- bers of the Special Events committee: Louise White, Carol Citrini, Elizabeth lones, Paige Orrie, and Susan Allan. Wendy Ingram and Susan Pedro at the Christmas dance find merriment from a different type of spirit. Dean Thompson joins in song at the Moravian Love Feast Seniors: Tracey Heisler, Laura King, Christine Wink, Allison Lyon, Caroline Rickenbaker, Tammy Breneman, Julia Rothschild, Stephanie Sain, and Molly Stephenson at the senior champagne party Christmas 25 . Harrods • Gucci • Metro • Snoopy • Bond Sheet • Snow Professors Jim Foster and Randy Kincaid, one single, the other having only sons, adopted several Queens girls for twenty days and took them to Europe. Each day was filled with new adventures. The group visited the Bank of England, the Labour Party, UNESCO, the US Embassy, NCNB of England, the Stock Exchange of both England and France, and lots of other business oriented places by day. But during their free time and at night these American girls stormed the cities of London and Paris. They raided the Gucci sale, danced at Rock Gardens ' ate American style burg- ers at Hard Rock Cafe, and smelled and tested perfume to bring back home. They tried their hand at cockney and sampled their share of lager and lime and plenty of French wine. There were also plays to see; such as Cats, Snoopy the Musical, and Pull- ing up Daisies. After three weeks of touring, shopping, and eating - it was hard to come back to QC to begin second semester. The British hated to see the girls leave too, their econo- my was on an upswing as a result of those American girls.

We have several each semester on Sunday afternoons. So, what makes them so special? First of all — you do not need a date. Without one, you don't feel like a wail flower at the dance - in fact you are better off without one. That brings in a second reason lawn concerts are so popular. There are always guys from the neighborhood and nearby colleges who hear about the event. Some are nerds, but one out of every five is always cute. A third reason is you don't have to dance (but you will be more than welcome to if you want). By Sunday after a dance weekend most people are too hung over to do much of anything except sit on a beach towel and relax. Of course there is always plenty of beer, so what's the best cure for a hangover? — more alcohol — naturally. Forget about that test Monday morning at nine. Other rea- sons for loving lawn concerts are, it's the day to show off your new sorority t-shirt, custom made just for that weekend or your new can hugger, personalized grain cup, or even your date's boxer shorts. Then there is Steve Kelley and his cam- era. If you can count on anyone, you can always count on Steve. Unlike the dance, you can see everyone at the lawn concert, so naturally you have your pic- ture made at least fifty times, with fifty different people. There are certain people that almost always are at the lawn concerts. For ex- ample, David Zeeso will be there with his wife and kids, as well as Ms. Hooks and her dog Winston. Duncan Van Pelt, hon- orary member of SAC usually stops by as well as a group of KA's from Davidson. Then there is the little boy down the street, John Tyner, who is no longer a little boy — he has grown up over the past four years. Lawn Concerts.

So often, the traditional student refers to those older students as Retreads . The New Dimensions student is often resented in class because they always ruin the curve. However, as time passes, these Retreads often end up as best friends with the traditional students. For with time we learn that their life is just as rough as ours. They have outside re- ponsibilities just as we do, only a little different. Instead of a Tuesday night mix- er, they have Monday night PTA. Most traditional students are not aware that without the New Dimensions program, we would not be here. Queens, in order to survive financially, needs the support they gain from pro- grams such as New Dimensions, New College, and Quill. The typical New Dimension student is not here to earn a business degree so they can open their own craft store in Myers Park. Most are here for the self- satisfaction, that they can go back after several years away from the educational environment and succeed. For example, Genny Hedrick came to Queens at age 42, earned a BA in English and this fall will be attending law school at Chapel Hill. Another successful student is Alice Sing- er who returned to college for a nursing degree. In her senior year, she became pregnant with her third child and still graduated with a 4.0. Being called a Retread may not sound very glamorous at first, but these stu- dents are beginning again and aren't things better the second time around? - . ■ _ • - i'T.7 .. -— ■ .2-.: •_ 30 New Demension I Doris Fadel and her husband Sam are two of a kind.

There is something in the air that makes most people around campus a little tense. Those once jovial, fun-loving Queenies have turned into panic stricken procrastina- tors. Never have you seen so many second se- mester seniors in the library, using every avail- able brain cell to finish up that last Newman paper or Finley's Days Inn case. The once hus- tle and bustle of Harris Dorm, is quiet now, the TV is off for the first time since Christmas break. Morrison dining hall is now a popular place around 9 pm as those study machines take over. The Saga crew provides such brain food as fresh coffee and doughnuts to brie cheese and coke. At 3 am the lights in the dorms are still burning, not because the gang is just getting in from Davidson, rather that dreaded Zoology final is at 9:am, only six hours away! Star Farr succumbs to heavy eyelids as she tries to study in the comfort of her own bed. Note: the bag of cookies at Star's right. Freshman English papers - a procrastinators delight.

Where else would you find twenty wide-eyed girls circled around a young man in noth- ing but his speedos but in a dorm lobby. Queens should hold world records for the number of Dominos pizzas they or- der each night. The dorms at Queens are different from most colleges and universities be- cause of our visitation rules. Long dorm is the only one that you don't hear Man, man, man, on the hall, hall, hall! sung by maintenance because the seniors have a few privileges. Men are allowed in the senior dorm rooms from 6 am until 11:30 pm Sunday thru Thursday and til 1:30 am on Friday and Saturday. Freshmen are the only group on cam- pus that do not have a choice as to where they will live. For the past several years, the freshmen have lived in Harris. Around ten years ago, the new comers lived in Albright and twenty-five years ago, they lived in Long. How times have changed! Sophomores and juniors can choose between Belk and Wallace and of course seniors are allowed to live in Long, Belk, or Wallace. But no matter which dorm you live in many of the same things happen, only with different people. (With the excep- tion of desk duty; senior privileges again, they have their own keys to their dorm.) For example, there is always one room that everyone always gathers in to watch Dynasty . Usually whoever has the nicest color television is the hostess for the gang. Television time or late night study hours are always filled with calls to Dominos Pizza. Practical jokes are a part of every college student. They range from stringing someones panties out in the lobby from the light fixtures before a big date to moving someone's entire room into the hall (or library). Everyone hates the hall phone. It can ring for five minutes and twenty people will walk past, but no one will answer it, for it is always for someone on the other end of the hall. The only time the hall phone is really used is before meals to call Saga to find out what they are serving. Then there is the hall pets that range from a mouse to a rabbit, to a cat. Of course everyone knew they were there and helped take care of them, everyone ex- cept Teri Mills and Dean Kerr that is. The dorms provide us with a place to call home. A place to escape from the busy pace of classes and meetings. The girls who live across the hall suddenly become your best friends after sharing everything from the same bathroom to pizza to May Day dates. These are peo- ple you will never forget for you have memories that will last forever. Susan Tate is surprised by her birthday present from her parents, a stripper from Monkey Business However, Susan wasn't the only one who enjoyed her present, everyone in Long dorm did too, especially Lee Webb r A dorm room isn't complete without TV, refrigerator and of course a miniature trampoline Here Mae Beth Boggs and Adele Bengston jump for joy after final exams in May Like most students, Mary Eleen Overcash rarely uses the hall phone, except to call the dining hall to ask that all important question, ’’What's for dinner''” Elaine Chitty swings her hips in the hula hoop contest one more year.

The afternoon events are sponsored by the RA's and Student Affairs. The day provides the opportunity for the four different dorms on campus and a faculty team to compete against one another. Teams from each dorm can enter into such events as hula-hoop, toilet paper relay, egg toss and the famous ice cream eating contest. The team with the most points at the end of the day win a free pizza party. Some people enter the same events every year and they've become quite famous. For example, Elaine Chitty will always be a contender in the hula-hoop contest up against Dean Kerr. Donna Gordon is also known for her ice cream eating abilities. But then, there are always the surprise entrees. This year, one was Dr. Maria Terrell from the math department. Because the faculty team consisted of only four members, she entered al- most every event and should be very proud of her team for they came in second, behind Wal- lace Dorm. But no Derby Day would be complete without a Saga picnic at the end. Those brave athletes were ready for fried chicken, BBQ ribs, corn, and something COLD to drink!

A weekend filled with shopping, gossip, eating, and more shop- ping. It is the responsibility of the freshmen class along with the Special Events Commit- tee to plan and organize this event each year. Traditionally a fashion show is held on Saturday with a brunch provided by Saga. This year was no different. Miller and Rhodes provided the clothes and several girls and their mothers modeled. Of course Dean Tyson added her British spirit to the show as she always does as the emcee of the event. During intermission, a special treat was provided by Queens own Cul- ture Club. The group performed several numbers while the models prepared for part two of their show. The senior class took advantage of the weekend and the weather and held a dorm sale. Everything was sold, from carpet to romance novels. The Dolphin Club gave their annual spring performance at the pool for the mom's entertainment too. Also, the spring musical, Working, was running that weekend, so moms and daughters had their choice for their entertainment. Both Kelly and Carol Lovelace model professionally in the Charlotte area. Their mom, Rosalee, joined the twins for the fashion show in Morrison. Melanie Lucear and her mom did a little of everything — from going to the brunch to the senior's dorm sale. Beth Thomas took her mom too, to the sale. The senior dorm sale in front of Long was sponsored by the senior RA's. Stephanie Sain and her mom pose at the Saturday morning brunch. Becca Thompson changed out of her usual jeans and T- shirt to model with her mom in the fashion show Sophomore Lori Lumbard, models a hot pink linen dress provided by Miller and Rhodes.

May Day '84 Last Chance to Party Before Exams As usual, almost every Queens student eagerly anticipated May Day Weekend. Even though it officially began May 4, students prepared a few days before. Thursday night diver- sions — a jazz concert in The Hollow and a showing of The Graduate — put us in a festive mood. We figured our professors wouldn't mind if we put our studies on hold for a few days. The dance weekend, sponsored by SAC, was a huge suc- cess. Friday night's informal in Morrison featured the 60's and new wave rock of The Surf. The following morning, Teresa Harris was crowned May Queen at the May Court Presenta- tion. Later that day, sororities and other groups held parties that added more to an already packed weekend. At the formal on Saturday night, dozens of Queens students and their dates invaded the Quality Inn Downtown to indulge in a lot of merriment with the band Black Widow. The party continued Sunday afternoon in Morrison Quad, as the long- awaited Cruis-o-matic belted out hits in a steady drizzle. Unfortunately, May Day Weekend ended much too soon. It was a weekend that many won't forget, yet at the same time, one that a few cannot remember. Our swing into spring slowed down as we faced the impending doom of exams; however, we could soon jump feet first into summer. i I I i 42 May Day OPPOSITE PACE, TOP LEFT: Teresa Harris tries to figure out whose shorts Kara Bounds' date is wearing TOP RIGHT: Susan Tate poses with her proud mom after May Court Presentation BOTTOM RIGHT.

May Day 43 Swing into Spring May Court The first May Day recorded at our school was in 1840 when Queens was known as the Charlotte Female Academy. Another May Day was held at the Female Academy on May 8, 1850, when a student named Ectavia Simonton was crowned Queen of May. The next mention of the crowning of a May Queen was in 1920, and it has been held every year since, making it Queens oldest tradition. Until 1941, the crowning took place on the front campus; in that year, the ceremony moved to The Dell located on the back campus near Wellesley Avenue. In the last few years, the crowning of the May Queen has taken place at Carol Hall, and now it is held in front of Belk Chapel. In keeping with the tradition of May Day 1920, the Queen and her court wear long white dresses. The crowning of May Queen in 1973 coincided with Alumnae Homecoming. To boost spirit for both events, former May Queens were asked to wear their original dresses to the Coronation, representing over fifty years of a May Day tradition.

No matter how many or how few we participate in, they always seem to take up a lot of time. Who has time to study? Amazingly, most of us manage. Participation in extra-curricular activities helps make us more liberally educated. Where else could you learn leadership abilities, how to draw a lay-out, or how to set up a film schedule for a whole year? Chances are slim that you'll ever learn all that in a classroom, even at Queens. Besides, they'll look good on your resume when you graduate. Activities begin early in the year and end late. For instance. Orientation Leaders are busy in August. Orientation Leader Copper Allen (above) directs Kelly Waller to the parking lot. During the year, Flo Mercer (above right) demonstrates how to break a styro foam cooler at Octoberfest formal. All activities end before exams, with the exception of one — yearbook. Since Arete arrives in the fall, there is a chance to include Graduation; therefore, someone must stay to finish the book. Arete staff members Ellen Abshire and Mary Beth Kay (right) put the finishing touches on the Classes section. Our lives might be easier if extra-curricular activities were majors; instead, they are options. - Working For You SGA Senate THIS PAGE, LEFT: Senate President jane Hughes doubled as Chairman of the Orientation Committee.

The new structure included a leg- islative body, the Senate, a separate programs board called the College Union, a split judicial Board which resulted in the formation of Hon- or Council and Dorm Council, and the elimina- tion of class secretary-treasurers. The Senate's main function is to be sensitive to issues that concern students. The major is- sue they handled this year was the change in the legal drinking age. They also make changes in the constitution, supervise campus elec- tions, and choose student representatives to committees and Board of Trustees. Under the leadership of Jane Hughes, the Senate met ev- ery other Tuesday at 9:15 a.m. The class presidents, who are representa- tives to the Senate, worked with the College Union Special Events Committee to carry out certain affairs. The Junior class was in charge of pulling off a fantastic Parent's Weekend and a Junior-Senior Reception that will be unforget- table. The Sophomore class planned an enjoy- able Dad's Weekend and the Freshman class did a splendid job on Mom's Weekend. The Senior class was in charge of Stunt Night, which was held Parent's Weekend. The se- niors also raised money by selling notebooks and sweaters to hold a graduation party. CLASS PRESIDENTS, L-R Lynnette McNeil (Junior class).

MIDDLE: R.A. Susan Tate talks confidentially to Flo Mercer. Honor Council and Dorm Council are both parts of a new judicial system at Queens. For- merly under one body known as judicial Board, the two boards were formed because Judicial Board was swamped with cases that could have been handled more efficiently by two boards. The Honor Council handles Hon- or Code violations such as lying, stealing, cheating, or breaking state national laws. They also serve as an appeals board for Dorm Council, handling cases referred to them due to excessive demerits. Honor Council spon- sored Honors Emphasis Week in the fall. Dorm Council handles residence hall viola- tions, such as undue noise, coming in late, im- proper visitation procedures, not participating in fire drills, and neglecting desk duty. Each violator is given demerits according to the se- verity of the alleged violation. When a student accumulates fifteen demerits, she is sent to Honor Council. Honor Council and Dorm Council promote fairness among the Queens Community by exercising the Honor Code. DORM COUNCIL FRONT, L-R: Kathy Maske (V.P.), Teresa Harris (Pres.), Dr Carol Boggs (adviser).

When the Student Government was broken up last year the College Union held a party to an- nounce the new formation. To celebrate their success, the group once again had a party. Now that the campus know they ex- ist, not everyone knows what they do. The Queens College Union is a group of students who work with the Activities Co- ordinator to plan and coordinate a bal- anced program of activities on campus. The various committees are the following: Cul- tural Events, Film, Recreation, Religious Life, Social Activities, and Special Events. All of these are a part of the Student Governmen- tal Association. COLLEGE UNION: SITTING: Cindy Spraker, Becky Garity, Sally Shearer, Dawn O'Neal, Allison Lyon.

Getting Cultured utting Their Faith into Action Coffeehouse entertainment, jazz music, and a highly successful welcome back party Spring Term were among the events spon- sored by the Cultural Events Committee. CEC, led by energetic Bryson Coffey, was an enthu- siastic group who strove to keep everyone aware of what was going on at Queens and in Charlotte. The group also made Chamber Mu- sic Series and Charlotte O's tickets available to students through the Activities office. Their ad- ditions to the dance weekends, such as the jazz concert the Thursday before May Day, were great kick-offs to fun-packed weekends. The Religious Life Committee was busy, as usual, planning chapel services and the Mora- vian Love Feast, helping Crisis Assistance, and sponsoring Queens first Dance-a-thon for charity. The dance-a-thon was a success. Over $200.00 was donated to The Women's Center as a result of the dance. Another widely publi- cized event was bun-baking for the Moravian Love Feast. Baking the buns at Queens saves the committee a lot of money that can be used for other purposes. RLC also oversees Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship and Westminster Fellowship. The group also promotes trips to Windy Cap and sponsors films. RELIGIOUS LIFE COMMITTEE L-R Ellen Abshire. Cindy Gilmer. Phyllis Bruce, Cheryl Meredith, Starr Farr.

It is time for a lawn concert in Morrison Quad When you think of how much fun you had at May Day or how much your mom enjoyed Mom's Weekend, there are two groups on campus that deserve our thanks. The Social Activities Committee and the Special Events Committee work hard all year long to provide weekend fun on campus. Under the leadership of Rose Mary Murphy, SAC provided such bands as the Voltage Brothers, Threshold, and the Cruisamatics to Queens. Unless your are on the committee, you have no idea the hours it takes to set up a dance, or the head aches involved with getting the cafeteria cleaned the next morning before breakfast. With the change in the North Caroli- na drinking age law, the committee had a new problem to deal with. Everyone was carded before they entered the dances and the fresh- men were seen drinking only coke. Special Events were responsible for such things as Parent's Weekend, May Court pre- sentation, Mom's Weekend and Dad's Week- end. During Christmas they bought a live tree for Burwell parlors and invited the campus family to decorate the tree. When you think of all the good times you had, remember the people behind the scenes: SAC and Special Events Committee. SPECIAL EVENTS COMMITTEE: FRONT: Laura Sain, Heidi Nichols, Susan Pedro.

Each group works with students, mostly new comers to Queens. The process begins when prospective students come for a visit to Queens. The Admissions Core plans all the activities dur- ing the visit. They show off Queens, not only to the students, but also their parents. They want to make those girls feel like Queens is the place for them for the next four years. Once the girl decides to come to Queens and she is accepted, the next group respon- sible for them is the Orientation Leaders. The girls, along with the planning commit- tee make sure every girl that is new to Queens feels welcome. They teach the girls Violent Love and tell them what fraterni- ties are the best to mix with. Orientation leaders do not allow homesickness. They try every trick in the book on how to get rid of home sickness. Once the Orientation process is over and it is time for classes to begin, the Resident Assistants are there. They provide a listen- ing ear at all times. They know all the an- swers to all the questions or at least they know where to find the answers. The RA's make dorm life more like home. They give birthday parties, provide toilet paper and leave special notes on your door. These three groups are made up of some very special girls. It is no wonder that often one girl is a part of more than one of the groups. 64 Orientation Leaders ADMISSIONS CORE: FRONT: Khaki Langly, Lisa Turner, Stephanie Sain, Dana Ferguson, Chairperson, Karen Richardson, Kathy Stanulis.

The News Aret6 6 7 At 4:15 every Tuesday and Thursday, cre- ative juices would begin to flow from the basements of Albright dorm and Morrison Cafeteria. The Current and Aref£ staffs were busy with their latest dead line. The Current staff under the leadership of editors Teresa Harris and Kathryn York, in- creased their number of issues this year. The quality of the stories were also improved, as a result of their advisor Margaret Kelso. She en- couraged the staff writers to be informative and remain creative. This was the first year the Current staff met in Albright basement - their new home. With the help of maintenance, the staff painted, cleaned and decorated their room changing it from a dark and ukky place to a warm and inviting atmosphere. The yearbook staff made several changes this year too. Beginning in September, the staff, after approval from the student body changed the title of the book from Current to Aret£. The staff also had a new advisor, Marbury Brown. He helped the staff with the cover design and the graphic designs of the book. Through the efforts of the advisors and edi- tors, all the staff members and various other people, a 200 page book and a bi-monthly newspaper have been produced.

There are two special opportunities at Queens for not only the students, but also the community as well, to become involved with: the choir and the community orchestra. The college choir adds beauty to many of the campus activities. At Christmas, they per- form at the Moravian Love Feast and at Boar's Head. They also sing at graduation and senior recognition day. This year the girls traveled to the coast for several performances. The Queens College Community Orchestra is directed by Oleo Sica. Members of the stu- dent body and the community are invited to join. The group practices once a week in Dana. They have their annual performance in the spring .

Mom and Dad shell out thousands of dollars a year to send us to this place to get an education, not just so we can participate in extra-curricular activities and meet boys at parties. The education we get at Queens holds the key to our future. Depending on the course of study we follow, we should be prepared to face anything, whether it be graduate school or business, research or public relations. The liberal arts program at Queens not only emphasizes our major course of study, but other disciplines as well. This explains why some Biology majors are familiar with Plato's Republic and English majors can interpolate logarithms. It's better to be broad- minded than to go through life with blinders on, and that's why Queens College stresses a liberal arts curriculum. Leaving not only takes place in a classroom — for instance, Karen Richardson (above) learns how to mix ceramic glaze from Rick Crown. Senior Lori Lovelace realizes the impor- tance of learning, and catches up on her studies by Diana Fountain (above right). Yearbook, like newspaper, offers one hour of academic credit for participation. Freshman Katie Ives (right) learns how to draw a lay-out. v • ts Dr. Richard H. Ault Computer Science Ronald j.

I was to cover the evacuation of Cuban soldiers as well as the airlifting of United States troops back after securing the island. From the time I was airborne, it was 48 hours of uninter- rupted work except for a sleep and eat break in Barbadoes. (There were no facilities in Grenada for civilians.)

There are lots of people in Charlotte who are fortunate to be teachers, and others who are counselors and organizers, others who speak in public, and certainly a good number of Charlotteans who live and work in beautiful sur- roundings. I do all of those things, and one of the biggest benefits of my job at Queens is that I am privileged to spend my days with interesting, fun people. There are hard days, and long days, and many frustrating times, but the joys cer- tainly outweigh the hardships. This year has flown by and I wish there were more time to spend with seniors and others who are leaving Queens. To them I say Godspeed and thank you for being a part of the life of one with the best job in Charlotte!

Doesn't Only Stand for Post Script Presidential Scholars The selection process of Presidential Scholars begins during a prospective stu- dent's senior year in high school. She ap- plies through the admissions office and then she is asked to participate in a series of interviews. By the end of April, ten lucky girls are selected to receive a full four year scholarship. Being selected is indeed an honor, but the responsibilities of a PS go beyond just an honor. These girls are often called on to be representatives of the college at various meetings on and off campus. Not only are they required to maintain a 3.0, but they are expected to become involved in campus activities. Very seldom is there any disap- pointments in a presidential scholar. For example, this year scholar Jane Hughes is preisdent of SGA. Brenda Allen and Phyllis Bruice are president of th classes. Sally Shearer serves as president the College Union. The list can go on and with PS's who are chairmen of various cor mittees and campus organizations. Presidential Scholars are frequenl classed as the girls who have it all toget er.

Eleven seniors were chosen this year on the basis of scholarship, leadership, citi- zenship and future promise. At Queens, seniors must have a 3.0 grade point aver- age to be considered as a nominee for Who's Who. These seniors are nomi- nated by students, faculty, and adminis- tration, and the final selection is made by the Awards Committee. In the eleven chosen this year, there are a New Di- mensions student, SGA President, Col- lege Union President, an accomplished actress, and many other talented stu- dents.

It is also demanding and busy. Following the same suit, the Business and Economics Division expects a lot of its stu- dents, and in turn, the students stay well occupied. A lot of deadlines must be met in the business world, and the Queens Business and Economics Divisions is no exception. Students work individually or in groups to prepare an extra-important case study, or to finish reading and reporting on all of those assigned articles. Through group ef- forts, students learn another important as- pect of the business world — working to- gether with other people to reach a desired goal. Queens business majors have advan- tages that larger schools don't. The faculty is small and genuinely interested in each stu- dent. Queens students are also more broad-minded because we are exposed to a liberal arts curriculum. Because we're all women, competition is based on ability, not on trying to dominate the opposite sex. A other strong point of the program is inter ships. The fact that Charlotte is a growir business center makes internships very a tractive. Even though business majors work har for their degrees, they derive pleasure 01 of the results.

Whether you are an art or mu- major, both call for long hours of work, ter most of the campus is asleep, lights 5 usually still burning in the Fine Arts build- and Watkins gallery. Muscians are work- l on their senior recitals to insure they ve finger perfection. Artists are busy add- i one more piece of art to their portfolio. The mention of the name Stegner or Marbury and thoughts immediately focus on two men who are dedicated to their profession and the love of teaching. Both share their talents with their students in hope of bettering not only the student but also themselves. Dedication can be seen over and over again with people like Dr. Sica who directs the community orchestra. Dr. Stegner brings in several art shows each year to the Dana gallery. Mr. Brown went to Grenada to sketch the military in action for the US Air Force. Mr. Porter brought modern sculpture to the campus in the form of odd shaped and colored metal pipes. The list can go on and on with examples of the people in the Fine Arts division who work with the stu- dents and the community as well. Dr. Sica teaches intro to music 8 00 am every Tuesday and Thursday morning to non-music majors. Heyward Rogers loves getting her hands dirty, espe- cially in sculpture class. Bob Porter was a new face on campus this year When he came he brought along his modern art Fine Arts 119 You Can't Escape The Meaning of Life Why does the Humanities Division get two spreads? Because, like science, no one can escape it. If you want to take an English, History, Foreign Language, Religion or Philosophy course, you can find it in the Humanities Division. Another course offered at Queens is this division's namesake — Humanities. Humanities is an all-encompassing course that includes history since the beginning of time, literature and art corresponding to the periods of study, and different political and philosophical perspectives of almost every major era. The full cycle of this class spans BELOW: Dr. Kirby instructs students in Spanish conver- sation. ABOVE RIGHT: Dr. Newman discusses the food with Cindy Sobbe at a picnic. four semesters, because of the amount of material covered. After all, Rome probably wasn't built in four months, so cramming everything that ever happened into one se- mester would not do history justice. Even if a student doesn't take the Human- ities course, she still cannot avoid the de- partment. She can take math instead of a foreign language in order to satisy Area II requirements and she can take art and mu- sic instead of Intro to Lit to fulfill Area IV. However, she still has Area I (English 101 and 102) and Area III (History, Philosophy, Religion) to complete. At Queens, there is no way to escape these two areas, no ter how hard you try. But who would want to avoid our manities department? This group courses form vital parts of a liberal arts el cation.

Business courses explain our survival in terms of eco- nomic theory and science classes tell us how we got here via evolution, but Human- ities courses emphasize how we've grown intellectually, socially, and philosophically. Who would want to avoid these courses when they hold the key to our past and present, and in terms of our liberal arts edu- cations, the future?

For science, nursing, and math majors, these courses are a way of life; however, for some, social probation may be more fun. No matter how much someone may dread a certain course in this division, we all learn something vital — how to study for days on end to pass a test. Seriously, sci- ence classes give us the chance to learn about the world around us. While we're getting a liberal arts education, we might as well throw some science and math in, right? Those who do have the nerve (and the brain) to major in science and math reap the benefits in a big way. They all seem to get good jobs. People who take a job either in math or science make enough money to face another inevitable force - taxes. 126 Nursing BELOW: Senior Molly Stephenson relaxes after a day in clinical.

OPPOSITE PAGE: Doesn't Diana look becoming in nursing garb? v IK | Nursing Grads ooks Like You Made It! One afternoon in late April, the senior nursing majors were absorbed in what seemed to be an ordinary nursing task, even though clinical was over. Amy Hunt was stitching something together. Then Anna Howie handed her a pair of scissors as if Amy were a surgeon. Upon closer inspec- tion, what seemed to be first aid turned out to be stitching old clinical uniforms together to hang across the front of the nursing building. By doing that, 1984 graduates of the James D. Vail III Nursing Program let it be known that they are history, because they are the first students to receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Queens. A nursing degree isn't easy to get. Stu- dents aren't officially accepted into the pro- gram until their sophomore year. In addition to rising early for 7:00 a.m. clinical, degree candidates must take chemistry, anatomy, physiology, and other hard courses. Other fringe benefits include spending time at Broughton Hospital as part of psychij nursing, summer school on the OB- ward at Charlotte Memorial, and a fort on a nursing wardrobe.

Take Political Ideology if you want to know. How did you learn and retain everything you know? Ever wonder how on earth you got into college in the first place? Perhaps an education course has the answer. The Social Sciences and Education Divi- sion not only offers courses that raise your political, mental, and social consciousness, but some that allow you to examine or form your own values. Physical educations falls under this division. These courses are de- signed to raise your physical consciousness.

I '-K iflHi w v Your roommate, English professor, big sister, class president, lab partner, and best friend help make up Queens' most important resource — its people. Starting with Dr. Wireman all the way down to the freshman class, each individual makes Queens unique. We've got Presidential Scholars, beauty pageant contestants, international students, wild and crazy people, and quiet folks. Most importantly, we've got YOU! People are why many of us stay here so long. For instance, fifty-five per cent of the 1980- SI freshman class stayed at Queens to graduate in 1984 (above). There must have been some reason other than academics explaining why they stayed. Personal birthday greetings are special, and signs in the post office, like Andrea Williams' (above right) or a decorated Diana statue can really brighten up someone's day. Then there are times we let loose. Paige Ferguson (right) not only shows off her newly-straightened teeth, but gets into the spirit at the College Union's second annual Birthday Party.

FRESHMEN Eikasia KATHERINE ANDERSON St. Simon's Island, GA VERONICA BAHALA Tegucigalpa, Honduras EMILY BANE Chapel Hill, NC Leslie Banks helps out at the birthday party of College Union. Plato's Divided Line stated that the growth of intellect was a spiritual thing; the more developed the mind was, the closer one was to God or the absolute Good. As part of the goal of Arete, intellectual expertise was to be striven for. Since the liberal education format was taken from the Greeks' ideal of arete, Queens also strives for academic excellence. The cycles of the college career are not unlike the steps of the divided line. As freshmen we are in the stage of Eikasia, or images. Our future is one of dreams, and half-formed plans, and only a select and privileged few have a clear idea of what their life after Queens will be like. We swing from one extreme to another as far as moods, outlook, and confidence (or lack thereof), go. Our at- tention is, unfortunately, easily distracted by parties, TV shows, and movies, Domino's Pizza men, and fellow students. Will we ever learn all that we need to? We don't think so. Our feet are on the first rung of the ladder of learning, but we still have a way to go.

They realize that college is a challenge, but just what exactly is that challenge? There is the obvious challenge of the academic work. Col- lege courses are much more difficult than the high school courses most of us were used to. Each girl is expected to take responsibility for her academic performance. It is up to the individual student to allot time for studying as well as playing. The academic challenge, although the most obvious, is not the only challenge facing freshmen. Another one is of meet- ing new people and making new friends. Many girls had gone to school with the same people since kindergarten, and the thought of going to school with total strangers was almost overwhelming, but most girls adjust well to their new sur- roundings. The ultimate challenge facing freshmen is the challenge of growing into the type of young women we want to be. Each girl has her own conception of what the total woman should be, and she strives to attain that goal. Queens has a friendly faculty who are happy and willing to help each girl realize her full potential and become the best person she can be. But it is ultimately an individual challenge that each girl must try to meet by herself. -Pam Prince FRESHMEN Eikasia YVETTE BONEY Willard, NC JENNY BOONE Winston-Salem, NC KAREN BORING Bristol, TN KARA BOUNDS Bradenton, FL PHYLLIS BRUCE Roebuck, SC DAWN BUICE Brookeville, MD LESLEY BYNUM Winston-Salem, NC RUTH CHARRON Springfield, VA TRACEY CHEYNEY Washington Cross, PA ANGELA CHURCH Wilkesboro, NC LYNDA CLARKE Savannah, GA PATSY CONNOLLY Ponte Vedre Beach, FL i § 134 Freshmen mnvi TTFMB Boney — Ferrell Have a Coke (and no smile) Night life for freshmen began this year the same as in previous years. There were mass migrations to Davidson and UNCC fraternity parties, BYOB lawn concerts, and parties in Harris Lobby. Nights at Dixie Electric Company were also popular excursions for fledgling college stu- dents. Overdoses of freedom, good times, and hangovers were in abundance as freshmen settled into college life. Suddenly the bottom fell out. On October 1, 1983, the drinking age was raised in North Carolina from 18 to 19 for beer and wine, and 21 for liquor. This was met with pro- tests from many 18 year olds in the state. There was a mad rush on bars and stores selling liquor on September 30 as many celebrated their last days of adulthood. At 12 a.m. on October 1, IDs were checked, policemen patrolled, and many freshmen went dry . Reactions at Queens to the law are mixed. Although many disagree with it, some are relieved that there are no more inebriated persons roaming Harris dorm at night, nor are there any beer cans and wine bottles decorating Harris lobby. -Ellen Abshire SUSAN COOKE Lesage, WVA MARY JO D'ARCO Charleston, WVA KAREN DELLINGER Charlotte, NC KATHERINE DUNAWAY Thomasville, GA ERIN FERGUSON Tokyo, Japan ELISHE FERRELL Atlanta, GA Freshmen 135 - - FRESHMEN------Eikasia------- MARTHA FRAZIER Savannah, GA SUSAN GAMWELL Charlotte, NC CINDY GILMER Matthews, NC JAYME FIFER Fredrick, MD LEE FORE Florence, SC ALLISON FRANTZ Marietta, GA How many Queens freshmen (or upperclassmen) realize that the reason Koala bears are always sleepy-looking is due to their constant diet of eucalyptus leaves which makes them constantly stoned? Gina Rodgers does — and she could probably tell you a lot more about them. Anyone who has ever entered Gina's room can hardly be unaware of her penchant for the fuzzy Australian bears. They hang on the walls, romp across her bed, and hang from the ceiling in a net. It would be safe to assume that Gina holds the 1983-84 record for stuffed Koalas in captivity. Gina's love affair with the cuddly Koala began four years ago when she was in the hospital. Her father brought her stuffed Koalas (mother and baby) and her Koala career took off.

Late one Friday night, the band was practicing in Harris lobby. Upon closer inspection, the Culture Club turned out to be Ruth Char- ron and her friends preparing for an air band contest. The contest, sponsored by Phi Delta Theta fraternity at Davidson, was scheduled for January 14. The girls had less than 24 hours to come up with a routine. When asked why they entered, guitarist Karen Allgaier said, It was January term, and Ruth looked like Boy George. A first prize of $50.00 was also strong motivation. Although they didn't win, The Culture Club was awarded second place and $20.00. Later in the week, the group performed again. Most of the audience had missed their premiere, so their return engagement was well-received. Ruth and her friends found the experience to be inter- esting and fun, almost like a dream. She enjoyed it so much that she wants to perform again. -Susan McKenzie MICHELE MCGURK Lawrenceville, GA SUSAN MCKENZIE Tellico Plains, TN LUANNE MCKNIGHT Charlotte, NC DONNA MOBLEY Beaufort, NC DAWN MOLNER High Point, NC MEREDITH OAKLEY Decatur, GA t LI Freshmen 139 FRESHMEN------Eikasia------- I' li£2Sa P' ' ?• ' • •• TERRY OATES Charlotte, NC PAIGE ORRIE Atlanta, GA SUSAN PEDRO Beckley, WVA REGAN PHILLIPI Wytheville, VA AMY POINDEXTER Summerville, SC CATHY PORAL Princeton, WVA STACEY POWELL Florence, SC PAM PRINCE Charlotte, NC mm E 91 dr i a J Si v : PH % '• ■ . Nairobi's Nina ■ ■HH f c t: Early in the year, a familiar sight in Harris lobby was the sight of Nina Okomba sitting watching TV. Nina is unique, not only because she is a foreign student, but also because she has a very special personality. Nina came to the U.S. from Nairobi, Kenya, because colleges in Kenya do not offer Business majors. While Nina could have attended colleges in England or other countries closer to Kenya, she chose American colleges be- cause they are inexpensive compared to colleges elsewhere. Adhiambo Okomba (pronounced Ah-dee-ahm-bo; meaning born in the evening ), Nina's older sister, attended Davidson for one year before transferring to New York. It was through her recommendation that Nina applied to Queens. The most difficult things for Nina to cope with are the homesickness and the expenses. The Okombas are paying for all tuition and transportation costs, and Nina will not return to Kenya until she graduates. The first few weeks I just wanted to pack up and go home. she admits. People in the U.S. amaze Nina with their ignorance of Africa. Very few students know where Kenya is; those who do have mental pictures of mud huts and jungle drums. For Nina, who goes to movies, watches TV, and reads magazines like any American, this is pretty funny. Nina is terrific; speaking from personal experience, she's worth knowing. -K.

The Pistis rung is the realm of visible things; on this level one focuses on what is, not what is imaginary. As sophomores we now know the ropes ; we are the collegiates, and watch with understanding amusement at the bewilderment and the stumbling steps of the freshmen. We move ahead on our career and personal lives, gaining assurance. Even though we feel infi- nitely older than last year, we realize there is a long way to go still. But with a year already behind us we feel better equipped to handle the year before us. Alice Montgomery and Cathy Pope help out the yearbook staff.

Lori gets up at about 6:15 a.m. to deliver the Charlotte Observer to the students who subscribe. Come rain or shine, Lori trots around campus in her sweats, tossing papers at doorsteps. Many students consider Lori's job a heinous one ( who could get up before eight? ), but Lori is very happy with it. She tobk the job because: 1) it doesn't interfere with her school schedule; 2) it forces her to get up early, so she gets many things done that later sleepers do not; and 3) she uses time that she wouldn't need for anything else besides sleeping. Although some people wouldn't do Lori's job for the world, Lori is happy with it. It's a way to make money, and as those of us without rich relatives know, it never hurts to have a little extra cash. - Katie Ives Sophomores 145 SOPHOMORES----Pistis SUSAN DOTY Matthews, NC SUSAN DYKEMA Charlotte, NC LYNDA EASTERLY Cleveland, TN STARR FARR Athens, GA LAURA FiSHER Tullahoma, TN CINDY FURR Pineville, NC How many times have you wondered what being a Resident Assistant was like? The fact that Kathryn Lyons is the only sophomore RA does not bother her at all. As Kathryn stated, I was very pleased that Teri Mills felt I was capable of doing the job. Kathryn concedes that her RA last year, Kate Campbell influenced her in many ways this year. She says Kate taught me a lot about spontaneity, enthusiasm, and main- taining friends on and off the hall. A diversity of activities were held for Kathryn's freshmen. These ranged from movies with popcorn, and hall Santa, to monthly birthday parties. The biggest bash planned was the Once in your college career Leap Year spaghetti dinner. There is no doubt Kathryn enjoys her job as an RA. This is how she sums up her experience, The girls on my hall help me avoid the 'sophomore slump' and keep me en- thusiastic.

How does one plummet to such a low point? The answer is not always clear, but the situations listed below have been known to help the predicament. - You have no money after buying books for the semes- ter and paying the phone bill. -You do not have any dates and suddenly realize it has been at least three months since your last one. - You just came back from vacation and you begin count- ing the days until the next break. - You finally decide on a major, but still don't know if it is the right one. - You have a tough schedule that can in no way be made any easier. - You miss your favorite soap because of a dumb lab. -The only mail you receive is air mail. These are only a few of the occurences that contribute to this slump period. For whatever reason you do hap- pen to fall, have no fear.

Andrea is the first sophomore to be elected president of the Black Student Union. This position first flattered, then worried Andrea. With her natural talents, Andrea tackles the problems fac- ing the BSU and proves her abilities. Among other things, Andrea helps to bring about a feeling of closeness and belonging for the black students on campus. Better community relationships have also been formed. Andrea does not want to take full credit for these changes; the entire BSU has worked hard for recog- nition. Usually thought of only as the BSU president, Andrea does have another side. She enjoys playing tennis and writing poetry. She has a boyfriend in the US Navy whom she wants to marry one day. Before then, she wants to attend paralegal school and then go on to law school. She does not want to be a lawyer for the money, but to help people and to look for a new and different world. With her determination and drive, she will succeed. -Susan McKenzie Sophomore Superlative DAWN O'NEAL Atlanta, GA MARY ELLEN OVERCASH Salisbury, NC KELLY PERKINS Gastonia, NC ELIZABETH POOLE Fredericksburg, VA CATHY POPE Clearwater, FL HELEN RANDALL Spartanburg, FL 150 Sophomores ALICIA RIGNEY Decatur, GA KARIN SCHACT Charlotte, NC CHRISTY ROUX Signal Mountain, TN JESSICA SIMPSON Charlottesville, VA CASSANDRA SLAUGHTER Atlanta, GA SHARON SPENCER Charlotte, NC KATHY STANDARD Atlanta, GA JOY STANSBERRY Columbus, OH BONNIE STOKES Charlotte, NC MISSI STONE Dallas, NC KIM TESH Winter Haven, FL BILLIE TOMBLIN Hickory, NC O'Neal — Tomblin Sophomores 151 SOPHOMORES----Pistis------ DEBORAH WILEY Banner Elk, NC ANDREA WILLIAMS Atlanta, GA MARY WILLIAMS Charlotte, NC SARA WILLIAMS Augusta, GA ERIN WINSLOW Columbia, SC DEBBIE WOFORD BRENDA WORIAX Raeford, NC KATHRYN YORKE Greenville, NC 152 Sophomores Martha Lide and Helen Randall share a Beer and a Smile at the College Union birthday party.

Under supervisors Rita Stone and Jeannette Manning, Susan works five hours a week as general office assistant. This work is not new to Susan though; she worked in the business office her freshman year and part of the following summer. She did mostly menial work like stuffing envelopes last year and has pret- ty much earned her wings. With no set duties, Susan is called upon to do many different tasks which are usually completed in one day. She runs the switchboard, works in the post office if need- ed, types, operates all the office machines, answers the phone, does a lot of book keeping, and works at registra- tion. Once Susan even had to do some detective work on campus - she located and tagged Queens College prop- erty for identification purposes. Susan says, It is great fun. I love my job. It is never boring. — Pam Prince i Sophomores 153 JUNIORS - Dianoia — With the move onto the step of Dianoia, the juniors move into the Platonian realm of thought. This, Plato says, is the level in which thinkers can focus on mathematics, spatial relationships, and objects. Dianoia is the first step of the upper level — the level of conscious and constructive thought. Juniors are in a different dimension from underclassmen in some ways. The career choices we make are more definite than they were as a freshman; if our minds are changed, hard work is necessary to graduate in time. Many of us have broadened our horizons by either interning in the career world traveling to Europe. Gradu- ation is even more clearly in sight and we begin to plan for life after college. In the junior year we are hopefully aware of our limitations and our strengths, and are starting to fly to new heights. We grasp the problems before us and through the skills and ideas we have learned, we overcome them.

In addition, Sonya traveled with a community midwife, observing home births. It was an adjustment, laughs Sonya, to make the change from dollars to pounds.

Lisa was married to Rick Watkins on November 19, 1983. Lisa and Rick are planning to be missionaries for St. Giles Presbyterian Church, and they felt that it was important to make the adjustments of married life before they faced the undeniably big adjustment of working in the mission field. Lisa met Rick at Duke Power, where she worked as a secretary in his department during the summer of 1982. They dated for a year before they became engaged. Lisa says she loves her married life, and has only one com- plaint - getting up at 5:00 a.m. to fix breakfast! — Tara Rand LYNN HAMILTON Monroe, NC NANCY HARTSELL Concord, NC LISA HOUSE Charlotte, NC TIPPI FAUCETTE Columbus, GA ALESIA GARRISON Windermere, FL DONNA GORDON Monroe, NC I I Juniors 157 JUNIORS - Dianoia — On sunny days when the temperature is at least 50 degrees and the wind is not blowing, Irene Zurek is likely to be found sunbathing. Perhaps because her hometown is Jacksonville, FL, Irene seems to feel a need to have a perpetual tan — even in January! She emphasizes that she is a stickler for an even tan; she wants no lines or marks or one side darker than the other. Consequently, Irene says, I can often be observed in contortionist positions in an effort to tan my sides, my neck, or the backs of my arms. Irene always takes books out with her, and she usually does get some work done. Needless to say, it is very difficult to hold a book up to read and underline while lying on one's side without blocking the sun on one's arms (causing, heaven forbid, an uneven tan), not to mention the considerable discomfort produced. Of course, if the wind is blowing, the fun increases doublefold. Papers scat- ter across the grass, hair blows in Irene's face (blocking sun rays to the ever important face), and attempting to read a book whose pages keep whipping out of place is a feat that should be featured on That's Incredible, according to Irene. — Pam Prince Bathing Beauty JENNIFER NOURSE Charlotte, NC MARY ANNE MCCALL Davidson, NC LAURIE MACIVOR Douglasville, GA LYNNETTE MCNEILL North Wilkesboro, NC KATHY MASKE Gastonia, NC REBECCA REAGAN Augusta, GA 158 Juniors Nourse — Smith Gone to Greece Greece is the word, at least as far as Katy Howard is concerned. February saw our jet-setting junior bound for Crete, an island off the coast of Greece. Katy intends to spend the rest of spring and summer with her sister, who lives in Mochlos, Crete. Letters to and from Katy have become famous at Queens, as everyone is anxious to hear of her escapades and to tell her of Queens happenings. Katy has written that the dogs at her sister's house under- stand only-Greek, and that her favorite pasttime is sitting in a cafe, drink in hand, watching the waves break against the rocks. Mega-letters, with bits and pieces written by faculty, administration, and students, are sent to Katy from time to time. Among messages sent: Jennifer Burns misses Katy's moo-cow. Her Literary History class misses Katy's clever limericks. Everyone misses our cat-lady. — Ellen Abshire KAREN RICHARDSON Snellville, GA HEYWARD ROGERS Atlanta, GA DEBRA ROMERO Charlotte, NC CINDY SAVAGE Griffin, GA TERRI SMALLWOOD Atlanta, GA CYNTHIA SMITH Forest City, NC Juniors 159 'Sam '1 JUNIORS — — — Dianoia — — — MELANIE STROUPE Clyde, NC BETH THOMAS Lancaster, SC JULIE TRITT Pisgah Forest, NC On June 5th, Deborah Dalton will fly out of Washing- ton, D.C., headed for Tokyo, Japan. Deb is spending the summer there and in Yokohama as part of the Inner-Varsi- ty's Student Training in Missions program. She will be part of SEND, the International Mission Board in japan; her first week will be spent in training for her mission work which includes working in churches, visitations, tract distribution, camp counseling, and teaching better English speaking skills to Japanese who already know the language. For the most part, she will be living with missionaries and in camp, but she will also live with some Japanese families. Deb became interested in the summer missionary pro- gram when she felt called to do it. I prayed very hard about this, she smiles, and I felt that this summer was the time to go. Her determination is clear; Deb has to raise the funds for the summer herself. She has sent out support letters, not only asking for support through money and supplies, but also through prayer. This summer will be challenging and interesting — but I'm pretty nervous about it. Deb will be returning to Queens August 17th, so we'll all see her smile again next year. Good luck, Deb!!! — K.

Episteme is the stage of forms. Thought is of philosophical ideas and is far superior to the other steps of the ladder. It is the closest thing to Noesis, or absolute good, that mortals can achieve. While seniors cannot actually say that they are the closest to good as possible, they are on the top level of the Queens learning ladder. They are nearing completion of our college learning experience. The year seems to rush by, perhaps too fast as we realize that we are doing some things for the last time. We are torn between the feeling of wanting to slow down and savor the daily sweet- ness of old friendships, and the instinct to pull away now so that the inevitable separation is less painful. Old things are seen with new eyes as we strive to remember every detail of college. Suddenly the outside world is breathtakingly close as we finally achieve adulthood. Upon graduation we are no longer dependent on our parents, but reliant on our skills and abilities. Throughout our lives we continue to strive to attain Noesis. Even though we may never reach it, and Plato maintains it cannot be reached while we are alive, it is in striving that we find satisfac- tion. 162 Seniors Wendy Mechelle Austin Concord, NC Music Therapy Psychology Ruth Barnes Charlotte, NC English Pat Baker Charlotte, NC Business Administration Rebecca Leann Betts Morrow, GA English Drama Ellen Elizabeth Bone Charlotte, NC English Drama Tammy Rae Breneman Charlotte, NC Business Sociology Lisa Vivan Christmas Pine ville, NC English Cynthia Jane Dale Charlotte, NC Art Laura Jane Daly Florence, SC English Austin — Daly Seniors 163 SENIORS — — — Episteme — — — Denise R.

From the time we arrived on the steps of Harris Dormitory in August of 1980, to begin the rigorous race to the finish line, we kept one eye on the fact that we would one day inhabit the luxurious suites in Long just as seniors before us. What we did not know, though, was that the majority of our already large freshman class would remain at Queens to finish their undergraduate studies! Last April Student Affairs announced that we would retain the senior privilege of Long Dorm suites but quick- ly followed that in order to accommodate our large number the cost would be three or four girls per suite — not the traditional two! Although the news brought many complaints we stood fast in keeping with tradition.

Mary lived in an apartment with American students and a French family in Montpellier from August to December. During the time Mary was there, she travelled to 15 countries in Africa and Europe. Traveling was one of the best parts of the stay, while she admits that restriction of personal liberty was a problem for her. The opportunity to live with a French family to absorb beliefs and cultures first-hand added to Mary's love of the country. The French possess a sophistication that Americans lack. More differences between France and the US are the food, the atmosphere of relaxation and good living; France moves at a slower pace than the US. In Mary's opinion, everyone should stay a while in France. It broadens the horizons with which one views the world. Mary intends to return to France as soon as possible. — Katie Ives _ V X Janice Leigh Riner Charlotte, NC English Drama Julia Rice Rothschild Boone, NC Sociology 172 Seniors Riner — Sun Sally Susan Shearer Atlanta, CA Business Administration Jennifer Lynn Starnes Pineville, NC English Michele L.

It is an award given to no more than forty students across the country, and she will be representing Queens in York, England. Cindy leaves for England October 3, 1984 and she will be there an entire year. The University of York in York, England will be her homeplate. As a graduate student, she will receive her masters of arts degree in medieval studies by taking such courses as Latin, Medieval writing interpre- tation, and literature and Society in the Late Middle Ages. Along with that, during the summer - the third trimester — she will write a 15-20,000 word dissertation on her studies. Cindy hopes to travel somewhat while in Europe and then come back to the States to receive her doctorate in history. She will eventually write a book, and hopes to teach on the college level.

RIGHT: Jane Dale holds her tassle during the procession as the wind blows on the sunny day. College Graduation: a day that usually happens once in a lifetime. It is a day filled with mixed emotions: relief, joy, pride, and even sadness. Another step has been com- pleted in that great walk-way of life. The 1984 graduating class of Queens College — where are they going after the big day? Teresa Harris, jane Hughes, and Genny Hedrick are off to law school in the fall for three years of still more hard work. Others, like Ruth Kelly and Julia Rothschild will stay in Charlotte and work at Queens: Julia, as an Admissions Counselor and Ruth as an assistant with Queens Compute. Cin- dy Spraker was awarded a Rotary Scholar- ship and will be leaving for England to study. Of course, there are those who will be get- ting married soon after graduation, such as Laura Daly, Mary Beth Grace, Becky Nam, and Renee Woods. Then there is Alison For- sythe, who will return to California to work for Xerox as a sales representative. This is only a small sample of the various directions everyone is going. The graduation class has come a long way since August, 1980. For many, the long, late hours of studying is over; for others, it is only beginning. But no matter where the roads of life may take the class of '84, each person will always have their memories of Queens, whether it is that A on a term pa- per, parties at Davidson, May Day week- ends, road trips, or even a special professor. Sure, the past four years have come and gone so fast many heads are still spinning. There have been many laughs and tears which have made all the hard work and late nights worth it all, for a college degree is something completely yours and no matter what, no one can ever take it away. 198 Graduation iUK: bandra Ingemanson and Karen Jackson, followed by Ruth ki enter Dana Fine Arts Building ABOVE LEFT Wendy Ingram and Abbi Little congratulate Mary Anne L after graduation.

After long, hard months of carbon stains on my hands, the first volume of the ARETE is completed. Now is the time to say thank you to all the people who helped me during the year. There are so many individuals, I don't dare begin to list all the names. But I must mention one person, Allison Lyon, my assistant editor. She provided the backbone to the staff and was definitely my right and left hand lady. Hopefully, the 1984 ARETE will start a tradition. As with the title, ARETE, we have strived for excellence. I know this book is far from perfect, but I do hope that each of you will enjoy looking through the pages today and even more so in the future, after you graduate. Hopefully, we have captured some of this year's events and happenings that make Queens, Queens. Again, let me say thank you to my entire staff, those who contributed pictures and each of you who are a part of the Queens family — for without you, there would be no need for a yearbook. Sincerely, Editor - 1984 ARETE Stephanie Sain ———■ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•
