 The Annual Academic Awards It was the campus event equivalent to the Oscar ceremonies in Hollywood; but these Academic Awards took place in Dana audi- torium, and the presenters were students and faculty members. In the traditional Awards Day Convocation, several winners were elected by the student body, while oth- ers were nominated by the faculty or select- ed by committees, and the categories ranged from the “Panhellenic Scholarship Cup” to the “Freshman Chemistry Award.” Faculty Marshal Dr. Joyce Shealy began the program by honoring the student Mar- shals; Deborah Dalton and Dean Clyda Rent announced new members of the Zete- tic and Orb Sceptre honorary societies; and Phyllis Pharr and Anne Gant presented trophies to the Tennis and Volleyball team members. Karen Snitzer presented the Pan- hellenic Scholarship Cup to the Kappa Del- ta sorority, and Geanice Lowder presented the Day Student Service Award to her sis- ter, Garilyn. Dr. Charles Couch announced the recipient of the first annual Michelle Sluder Memorial Award: senior Resident Assistant Terri Smallwood. After faculty members presented awards to outstanding students in each academic division, Dr. Wireman announced Nancy Hartsell as the winner of the Diana award; yearbook editor Sally Pearsall presented the senior yearbook dedication to Dr. Charles Couch; and professor Ron Basini capped off the awards — and concluded the Convocation — when he announced the re- cipient of the 1984-’85 Faculty Teaching Award: Dr. Robert Whalen.
