Its something that can be alternatively exciting or frightening, greeted with dismay, exhilaration, or relief. Some people look at change with countenance of a paralyzed rabbit, while other individuals rush into it headlong. The only thing about change that remains constant is the certainty that it is impossible to avoid for long. Life during a 'normal' year saw quite enough change. The student body for the 1 985-1986 school year experi- enced more than their usual share of upheavals, some pleasant, some un- pleasant, and some merely annoying. From the beginning of the year, it was obvious that this would not be just another year’s work. Dean Cynthia Tyson, who first came to Queens College in 1 969, moved to a new posi- tion as President of Mary Baldwin College in Virginia. Dr. Joyce Shealy took over as the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Clyda Rent be- came Vice-President for Academic Affairs, and Dr. Richard Goode became Interim Dean of the Graduate School 2 Opening Don't forget to try the shepherd’s pie.

A Opening Mary Beth Key To Something Different New College. Dr. Marjorie Kirby became the Faculty Marshal and Deneise Deter- Rankin, Chaplain, replaced Jennifer Burns, who had accepted a position with Myer's Park Presbyterian Church. These administrative position changes had no adverse effect, with the possible exceptions of missing Dr. Tyson and her 'Queens Concept' and missing Dr. Goode in the classroom. Saga Corporation made a determined effort to poll the students and provide more of the meals that the students preferred and Belk Dorm received a much-needed and much-appreciated facelift by way of new carpeting and a new paint job in the lobby. Long Dorm had quite a dramatic change — the ceil- ing of a few rooms fell in within a week of each other. The most unappreciated change, however, was the absence of our postman, Dave Peterson, who was in the hospital for heart surgery and then home recuperating for eight Senate officers Phyllis Bruce.

Aside from and along with these changes, students experienced many personal changes within themselves which may have irrevocably varied the pattern of their future.

It does seem that way — if you're not meeting a friend for lunch or going to a club meet- ing. you're meeting for class. That's why students appreci- ated the opportunity to ex- press themselves, do some- thing different and have fun. Student life brought the familiar activities such as orientation, Rush, dance weekends and May Day. But. there were a few changes like spending the day at Citadel. fix-Nup Morrison week and listening to Kelly Ryan [Student Activities Director] laugh. Although the structure of student life remains the same, the pattern within the frame is constantly changing as the students themselves change. Student Life Division 9 A Beginning FIGHT!

Its true meaning, however, came from the experiences that all new college students go through. Orienta- tion began on August 21, 1985, as freshmen lugged all of their prized possessions up to their new rooms. Then came the long-awaited moment of meeting that special person who was awarded the honor of being your room- mate. Then everyone climbed into their bed and awaited the new days of college. Freshmen met new friends through such activities as the alumni picnic, 1 □ Orientation To Change group meetings, going to Discovery Place to see life in the beginning and lumping out of buildings at Woody Woodward’s Outdoor Center. |j Orientation introduced the freshmen to the beginning of new life and started them on the road to maturity.

The feeling of new beginnings — isn’t it funny how each and every year at the turn of August people go all out prepar- ing for the back-to-school” event? Though almost all students eagerly count down the seconds until May arrives and school will be out, the ex- citement of a new start with school is still felt by all each time it comes around. Even through the changes that might have been made on campus, familiar sights as well as some familiar faces greet each woman as she arrives for yet another fall term. Whether it is a first time entrance for the freshmen or a hard-to-believe-this-is-it” senior class, students welcome back the warm familiar feeling.

Clubs and organiza- tions wasted no time getting started by having an Activities Sign-up day in the cafeteria so that all could get involved on campus. The first few days of the new term may have seemed hectic with rearrang- ing schedules, signing up for activities, putting the finishing touches on the room and catching up on the latest with friends, but they offered a bit of relaxation before the homework, studies, papers and the count down for May took over.

It was not so much interest in the Senior March,” but rather shock that the Seniors had changed their theme song.

Taking place in Belk Chapel on September 1 □, the procession of faculty and seniors was led not by Dr. Joyce Shealy, but by Dr. Marjorie Kirby, the new Faculty Marshal. Instead of Dean Tyson’s clarion tones, THERE was Dr. Shealy — without her Marshal's scepter! And how many of us old timers realized that Dr. Richard Goode was in the wrong place for the procession?

Sorority Rush was not just a week of parties where girls could eat good food, meet new people and have fun. Endless hours of hard work, closed weekends and practice, practice, practice were put into what was presented the week of September 1 9-22. Time was well spent, however, as programs and skits went on without a hitch. Perhaps the best example of each of the four houses efforts could be seen in the Friday and Saturday night parties. Kappa Delta Sorority put on two of their more popular skits. “KD Matie,” held on Friday, was a seagoing skit designed to acquaint the rushees with the background of KD, the requirements for initiation, the National Philanthropy which KD participates in, and the socia activities. On Saturday, the KD’s presentee “Moviola, ” a panoramic view of many ole stars who came together for the annual casting call of Kappa Delta's Moviola. Nikki Wilson 1B Rush Bonne of the favorites present at the casting call were Charlie Chaplain (Kim Tesh], Mary Poppins (Susan DykemaJ, Scarlett O’Hara (Cindy Vanderford). Vlae West (Julia Kurdt), and Kermit the =rog (Janet VogelD. The party was in- :ended to give the rushees an entertain- ng look at the inside of Kappa Delta and :he strength of the sisters' friendship. For the Alpha Delta Pi’s Friday party. ;he sorority combined a successful ;ropical theme from last year with characters from the former television series, Charlie’s Angels to create Alphie’s Angels. The Angels, Marian Huntley, Faye Stokes and Stephanie Hilleson, were in search of the four points of the ADPi Diamond: Sister- hood, Participation, Talent and Scholar- ship.

Sophomore Missy Martin did her imitation of Madonna, and the entire cast ended the show with its very own version of USA for Africa’s, We Are The World. ” The Chi Omega house took a different approach Friday night. Tents were set up, the house was totally covered in greenery, and a clothes line was strung up, and jerseys were worn to make Food, Fun, Camp Chi-O a night of fun and ex- citement. Amidst it all, head counselor, Lynda Easterly, helped the rushees learn all about the Theta Gamma chapter of Chi Omega. Saturday night, the Chi-O’s added a new party.

Trophies were awarded to the individual and team jogging the most laps with Jeannette Manning winning for the in- dividual and Mary Johnson and Melanie Lucear, representing the Recreation Committee, winning for the team.

Mary Beth Kay Mary Beth Kay Dramas Offer Insight This year was a first for the Queens College Drama Department. It was the first time that two fall drama produc- tions were presented to the Queens community. One of these. Five Women, by Jean Allen, starred Christie McKinney as Vinney, Deanna Hensley as Rita, Nancy Nardolilli as Laverne, Andrea Carey as Sarah, and Suzanne Everhart as Kim. The drama, originally presented in the quaint setting of the Hollow, was a simple production. The simplicity of set- ting, however, complemented the complex character development of the plot. Five Women dealt with how five very different women came to cope with and understand the difficulties they shared by being women in present-day society. In four acts, the audience shared, through a series of monologues, in the setbacks as well as the joyful ex- periences of each of the women as they grow from young, wondering girls to mature adults. Under the direction of Jane Hadley and with music provided by Connie Rhyne Bray, the play continued throughout the year. Five Women was presented at various events, such as Admissions’ open houses. The other drama, Waiting For The Parade, which ran in Suzanne Little Recital Hall from November 6-1 □, was a special occasion in many ways. Most obviously, it fit in perfectly with the book of the semester and the symposium on women and war. Set in Calgary in the Province of Alberta, Canada, during World War II, this play by John Murrell showed how the war affected the lives of the women at home. The five women who made up the cast of Waiting were women who, outwardly at least, had little or nothing in common with each other. They were drawn together by the circumstances of the war, when ordinarily they might never have met. Yet, the war had an effect on their lives in ways which caused them to become connected. Catherine CSuzy Brown] had a husband who volunteered and was eventually reported missing in action in France. Eve [Sally Wheeler], who was against the war for the waste of it all — ’’We're back in the Dark Ages, wasting lives, spilling blood all over Europe! ” — was burdened by a husband too old to serve and who was adamantly in favor of war. Janet CCIaire Finley] was 22 Fall Dramas A?' %W The cast of Five Women: Suzanne Everhart (Kim). Nancy Nardolilli (Laverne).

Margaret CKatie Ives) had one son who was involved in the conflict and another who was so anti-war that he was arrested for sedition; throughout the play she was convinced that she would never see her sons alive again. Marta CEIIen Abshire) was a German- born Canadian, whose father was arrested for being a member of the Bunde, or Canadians for Hitler. She herself was an outcast from the majority of those in Calgary society, who ignored the fact that she had been in Canada since she was five years old. These women, although very different in upbringing and temperament, were con- nected inevitably by the same event, and though they did not even like each other, they would remain connected for a long time. The title itself. Waiting For The Parade, was descriptive of the play. All the women were waiting. Catherine was of course, waiting for her husband to return home, just as Margaret waited for the return of both of her sons. Eve was waiting for the end of the carnage of war, and Marta was waiting for her father’s release and the discrimination against her to cease. Janet was perhaps the only person who did not want the war to end, since her frenzied wartime activity was helping to ward off the disgrace she felt her husband had brought upon her. Waiting For The Parade was also spe- cial in that this was the first time it had been performed by any theatre group in the South, professional or amateur. Since it was just recently released from Off-Broadway, Director Jane Hadley was particularly pleased for the oppor- tunity to perform the play in its premiere production. Lawrence Toppman of the Charlotte Observer wrote a feature article for the paper on the production, which, as the drama department knows, is very rare. By turns funny, sad. and thought- provoking, Five Women and Waiting For The Parade gave a glimpse into the lives of women, young and old.

Christmas Dance 25 A Campusfull of The Christmas season was, in the opinion of many of the students, the loveliest of all times as far as celebration and festival go. Beginning with the The boar’s head carriers — Heidi Howell, Mandy Maultsby, Donna Ashe, and Donlyn Litchford — practice carrying the boar's head trays before the ceremony begins. Once the Boar's Head festivities came to a close. Amy Tope, Dr. Shealy, Dr. Rent, Dr. Hadley, Jane Hadley, Lynda Easterly and the rest of the Queens community gather in the center of the dining hall to sing Christmas carols. Christmas Dance on Saturday, December 7, and culminating in the traditional Boar’s Head Dinner on Wednesday, December 1 1 , Queens certainly did its best to make sure that all the campus was made a part of the holiday spirit. Three of the favorite celebrations were the Moravian Lovefeast, the burning of the Yule Log, and the Boar’s Head Dinner. All of these celebrations were as resplendent as always, seeming to catapult the partici- pants back to a time when Christmas was a time of gracious and warm feeling, intermingled with much cheerful revelry. The Moravian Lovefeast, which was held in Belk Chapel on December B, was made especially memorable by the beautiful decorations and the candle- light itself. The Queens College Concert Choir set the tone for the evening by processing down the aisle singing a medieval chant from Benjamin Brittain’s Christmas Carols. The remainder of the music provided by the choir was from the same work, and all the songs were medieval in style. The usual Moravian feast of buns and coffee was served. Lisa Dodson, Karen Snitzer, Professor Yolanda Yoder, Professor Carlene Fulk, Adelaide Davis, Winnie Bryce, Lidia Figiel, and Professor Jane Hadley read the traditional Christmas scripture readings. The burning of the Yule Log was a brief yet still enjoyable celebration in which Mary Beth Key Donlyn Litchford 26 Christmas Festivities Christmas Cheer two faculty members — Dr. Charles Couch and Dr. William Thompson — chosen by the students carried the Yule Log to the firecircle in the Dorm Quad and read aloud the legend of the Yule Log. The faculty members then carried the log around the circle, so that students surrounding them could break off a piece and make a wish on it for the new year. The log was then placed in the circle and ignited. The students then threw their pieces of wood in the fire — if it landed in the fire and was burned, your wish would come ture. Christmas carols were sung, and refreshments were also provided. The Boar’s Head Dinner, which was again directed by Jane Hadley, was something like a Wednesday night Dinner, only on a grander scale. For this evening, Morrison Dining Hall was magi- cally transformed into a dining hall equal- ly as magnificent as Heorot in Beowulf: medieval banners, pages carrying the Boar’s Head, singing minstrels and the members of Valkyrie leading everyone in. The legend of the Boar’s Head was read aloud by seniors Alicia Rigney and Mary Beth Kay, Meg Stanley led the prayer, and President Billy Wireman himself proclaimed, Let the feasting begin! It was amazing how wonderfully Morrison was transformed simply by lighting, costuming, and a warm holiday spirit. It can be fairly well agreed upon that a jollie goode time was hadde by alle. ’’ Katie Ives Hoi Ho! Ho! And what do you want Santa to bring you. little girl?

January of 1 986 proved very exciting and educational for students. Those students who participated in the study tours spent the three weeks of January term either in New York, Europe, or Belize, British Honduras. Helen Carpenter, a senior, who went to New York with the Hadleys, said, “The city had such magic!” She and the other students on the trip saw such produc- tions as Cats, Biloxi Blues, and The Mystery of Edwin Orood. On the trip to Great Britain, led by Drs. William Thompson, Richard Goode and Charles Couch, students visited such famous sights as St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. In Shakespeare’s birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, the group saw a presentation of Nickolas Nickleby, [Part 1D. Nikki Wilson, a junior, mentioned that they also visited the town of Thurot where Dr. James Herriot, author of All Creatures Great and Small, practices as a veterinarian. The trip to England. France and Italy, led by Dr. Diane Castle and Cathy Bowers, took students to London, Paris, Florence, Rome and Amsterdam. Junior Olivia Heffner enjoyed Paris the most. Everything — the people, the clothes, and Paris itself — were so beautiful,” Olivia said. And the French men were so charming! ” 2B January Term Month of Diversity Meanwhile, as the upperclassmen enjoyed their tour abroad, the freshmen were participating in the Freshmen Skills Course under the guidance of the Career Center Staff. In addition to learning via listening to various lectures, the freshmen also made improvements on campus. Groups of students performed such services as decorating a room in the infirmary and in upstairs Morrison, plus painting the swing in front of the library. The other students left on campus in January took such classes as Career Planning. The Golden Age of New York, and the nursing class for upperclass- men nursing students. Moreover, many students, such as sophomore Paula Brown, interned with local businesses like the Mint Museum. Junior Brenda Varner’s internship led her to a part- time position for the spring semester and a full-time summer position at Digi- tal Corporation. Of course, if none of the trips, classes, or internships appealed to a student, she took a much-needed vaca- tion of a month and a half at home to prepare for the next semester.

Faculty Marshal Dr. Marjorie Kirby leads student marshal Susan Dykema and the seniors into Belk Chapel for the start of the Honors Convocation. Tuesday, February 11, 1986, our minds were on excellence as Belk Chapel hosted the Honors Convocation — the assembly to give recognition to those who had achieved academic greatness. This special occasion saw the faculty process in its academic regalia and the seniors once again try out their caps and gowns. The Honors Convocation was a signi- ficant event which contributed to the 30 Honors Convocation Queens Achievers development of a spirit of unity and common purpose in the Queens Community, stated Dr. Joyce Shealy, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. This development was achieved through an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree conferred upon Dr. Naomi Albanese, retired Dean of the School of Home Economics. University of North Carolina at Greensboro. In turn, Dr. Albanese reiterated the idea of excellence in her address “Respond Responsibly. She said that to whom much is given, much is required — a statement which summarized the whole occasion.

The Social Activi- ties Committee provided The Mighty Majors for the Friday formal along with candles and candy on the dining hall tables. The snowy weather kept the professional photographer away, but the senior class saved the memories on polaroids. Senior class president Alicia Rigney borrowed a drama department swing — from the 1 9B2 production of Little Mary Sunshine — to use as a pic- ture prop. A few more touches, like a red paper background Cto hide the yellow Morrison wallpaper], and Alicia’s roses, gave the partygoers and the senior bank account a souvenir.

Every year I went through the same process of trying to decide what to do on my spring break. Should I get wild and crazy on a trip to the beach — lots of fun in the sun, GUYS, beer, sand, and more guys? Or, maybe I should be practical and work. Or, should I go home to see mom and dad and play with the dog? Maybe I should just forget going anywhere and just do homework. I mean, that was why I had to put it off earlier so that I could do it on my spring break. Sure would have been nice to have had it all together like some people: Diane Bailey, Myrtle Beach, SC: It was good getting away from classes even if it was just for a week. ” Jennifer Brock, Winston-Salem, NC: It was nice to be able to go home and relax. It was great not having a lot of homework.

Caroline Cotham, Winston-Salem, NC; I was ready to get out of here, but by the end of the break I was ready to come back. Oh, how I looked forward to those wonderful ten days of NO CLASSES.

As an advertisement for the spring musical Unsung Cole CAnd Classics Too), Dr. Bob Porter and other art students decorated Diana fountain complete with running water and her own towel. Unsung what?” Cole. ” Coal? Like the black junk? Old stoves, barbeques, Kingsfond-type?” No, like Porter. Cole Porter wrote many wonderful musicals from the late 20's to the mid 50’s. He was very popular, especially with the wealthy classes — mostly because he made fun of them in witty and tasteful ways. He could get away with that sort of stuff be- cause he was wealthy himself. Oh. But why unsung? Because they spoke every song, like Rex Harrison? No, because the majority of the songs in this musical revue were ones that were cut from the original shows and were never performed. There were a few of the more well-known songs that were included, too, like So In Love, Night and Day. ” I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” and Friendship. Unsung Cole CAnd Classics Tool was conceived and directed by Norman L. Berman who also arranged the piano and vocal scores. The cast, a group of four women and two men, took on different roles with every song. Sounds great! You know, I heard that this play was the first one in almost Alicia Rigney 38 Spring Musical New Songs three years that Jane Hadley didn’t direct. “That’s right. The guest director. Don Brown, was also choreographer and in the show himself. He has a business here in Charlotte and has acted in quite a few shows, too. You may remember him — he was the choreographer for The Club last year.” “Yeah. I remember that show. Un- sung Cole sure sounds different from The Club. Who else was in it? Well, Bill Brown was the tenor. He was an actor here in Charlotte, too. And the women were Cindy Furr, Katie Ives, Claire Finley, and Sally Wheeler. Ellen Brewer-Phillips was the pianist, Ellen Abshire was the stage manager. Dr. Mary Nell Saunders was the director of music, and Doug Minnerly was the set designer. Sounded like a splendiferous combi- nation. When did this fantasmagorical spectacle take place? It ran from April 2-4 to the 2 7th, over Mom’s Weekend, in Suzanne Little Reci- tal Hall.

Over 3-4 awards were given out at the Awards Day Convocation held in Dana Audito- rium on Tuesday, April 29, 1986. A few of the highlights included the recognition of the 1 985-1986 members of the Zetetic Society, Orb and Sceptre, and the student Marshals. Plus, junior Cathy Poral was the recipient of the Michelle Sluder Memorial Award; Roberta Palumbo, president of the New Dimensions Association, gave out two New Dimen- -42 Awards Convocation For Recognition sions scholarships to Audrey Montgomery and Nikki Slocum; and senior Susan Dykema won the Freshman Chemistry Award.

The reign- ing champions, Dr. Couch and Chip Patterson, Director of Planned Giving, tossed their way to victory against Wallace Dorm competitors, Lisette Hasbun and Nellie Henderson. The end to the competition came as Dean Diana Williams and professor Yolanda Yoder limped and skipped their way in the three-legged race to help lead the faculty team to victory of the days events. They were gracious winners and donated their prize of a pizza party to the seniors of Long Dorm.

What really gets me. said graduate Colonel J. Norman Pease, is that it took me over a hundred years to do what they did in a year. However, during all of this frenzied activity, we had time to remember ex- actly why our years at Queens were so special. It was because of the faculty, staff and administration that supported and encouraged us from our first days at college. Most importantly, though, it was because of the friends we all made.

U Academics Division 55 uilding a Firmer Foundation To some it has definitely been a year of change — new administrators, faculty, policies, classes, students, and attitudes. And all of these changes have added up to a continued growth for the college. But to some, like Dr. Joyce Shealy, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, it has not been a year of change. What we have done, ” she explained, has been to continue to maintain and strengthen the quality we already have. ” We have come a long way since 1 S 7 7 when the college was deep in the red with finan- cial difficulties. For the first time in many years, the college operated on a balanced budget and ex- pected, in the fall of 1 S86, the largest freshman class in fifteen years. I’m tremen- dously encouraged by what’s happening, said President Dr. Billy Wireman. The mood is high; there is more of a human element in terms of relationships — a sense of identity and self. And this sense of identity and self has applied to the visions for the future. What we need, said Dr. Clyda Rent, Vice President of Academic Affairs, is for more people to know about Queens, and that’s on the way. ’’ She felt that Queens was very visible in the academic circles. As the college currently exists, it has one of the brightest, most in- teresting futures, Dr. Rent went on to explain. Some of the goals for the continued growth of the school included expanding the foreign travel and honors programs, strengthening freshmen advising, reaching out to the New Dimension students and integrating them more into the student body, to become ever more selective, and to keep the high standards and to be known for them. All three of the administrators felt that the future of any school will remain secure by the quality of the students. There has been a resur- gence of really stretching, said Dr. Rent, and having high goals. We have it all and we just need to capitalize on it. Queens has always been ac- tion oriented, we’ve never been one to let things happen to us.” Many Beth Kay During the graduation practice on May 1 B.

In attempt to bribe the teacher, the spring two-dimensional design class offers professor Gilda Syverson halloween candy. The Beauty of Sight and Sound The Fine Arts Division included both music and art majors. The activities ranged from student concerts to the modem art that captured everyone’s attention as it surrounded Watkins Art Building. The new modem art on view astounded and sometimes confused the other less artistic students. There also emerged many different interpretations of this art. It ranged from large “tree worms” to intricate weaves of a spider web. Every morning students awoke to dis- cover what unique creation had arisen around Watkins and were continuously amazed at the imag- ination of their fellow students. Another part of the Fine Arts Division was the music department. There students created their own sound and worked with music as a therapy to relax and help relieve tension. In addition, these courses taught you to appreciate all forms of music and to detect the different in- struments as they play together in concert. The musically talented students were also free to use their imagination and create new, interesting sounds. One student commented that the Fine Arts Depart- ment “was one way to let artistic feelings come out. The department was exciting and innovative and gave new ideas to a bland world.

He lives in the days that are past. His ideas, thoughts, feelings, associ- ations, are all with barbarous manners, obsolete customs, and exploded superstitions. The march of his intellect is like that of a crab, backward. — Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866) There were many in Queens College who would rise up in anger against such a statement and indignantly denounce such an idea as preposterous — and most of them lived on the second floor of McEwen. It was here the English Department reigned supreme. It was here hundreds of devoted students risked hyperventila- tion to climb the steepest stairs on campus and learn more about the wonderful world of literature — the architect who designed those stairs must have been an avid fan of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem ‘‘Mont Blanc — and it was here that many who have never before enjoyed English literature would, at the very least, learn to appreciate the effort involved. There were many different classes to intrigue different people; whether the class in question was Intro to Lit, where students were allowed a glimpse into each genre of literature; Modern Drama, where they don’t do nothin’ but watch a lot a movies” (HAH! Tell that one to the many intrepid individuals who wrote no fewer than TWENTY play critiques — and that was OUTSIDE reading); Shake- speare, where students who barely understood the plot of the plays in the beginning were soon ’forsoothing’ and ’pritheeing’ all over the place; or 460, the dreaded CAPSTONE COURSE ( Do you mean to tell me that if I don’t pass this class, I don’t graduate'? ); any one of those courses offered in-depth and concentrated study in the world of English and American literature, and proved to one and all that the English major was NOT something you un- dertook when you can’t think of anything else to do. ” Poets . . . are not only the authors of language and of music, of the dance, and architecture, and statuary, and painting; they are the in- stitutore of laws, and the founders of civil society, and inventors of the arts of life, and the teachers, who draw into a certain propinquity with the beautiful and the true, that partial apprehen- sion of the agencies of the in- visible world called religion. — Percy Bysshe Shelley Cl 792-1822) Katie Ives I What is a sense impression? asks Dr. Newman.

Communications 61 a Value and Culture Equal Humanities The word ‘value is im- portant in any discussion of the humanities. It denotes, says the dictionary, a principle or a quality generally con- sidered to be good, beautiful, valuable, or desirable. ‘Cul- ture’ is another basic word in the humanities. Culture can be understood to be humanity shaping nature to its own ends. Dana brought ‘value’ to life this past year in such dis- ciplines as history, religion, and the Foreign languages. But, people often wondered why Foreign languages in the humanities department? Dr. Marjorie Kirby, Spanish professor, said that Foreign languages have a place in the humanities because a foreign language is to also learn the history and culture of the nations which speak the language. To learn the history of the nation in depth you first have to understand the language in which their history was written, Dr. Kirby said. To help the student learn more about ‘culture’ the Foreign language department received a new lab. The lab was installed over the Christ- mas holidays and allowed students to hear the language in which they were studying and practice their pronuncia- tion.

For instance, after students had some ex- perience in the lab, some be- came lab assistants. Upper- classmen were also able to help the professors with their research. According to Dr. Rebecca Jann, two of her students made a key to the trees on campus, which students then used to identify the trees on campus. In the department of math- ematics and computer science, students saw how computers are used in many ways, including from helping people to make hit music.

The courses were restructured to contain more theoretical background. Also, clinical practice now begins in March of the nursing student’s sophomore year. Because the nursing program is very structured, nursing students often formed close friendships with each other. Tricia Inabinett, a sophomore nursing student, said, Each individual nursing class is like a big family. We rely on each other and get to know one another really well. We’ve become very close; everyone supports one another. ” Nursing students said these bonds were strong be- cause they were so busy and had very little opportunity to spend time with non-nursing majors. “Nursing really is tough,” said Cricket Kostbade, a sophomore nurs- ing student. Sometimes you really wonder if it's worth it and if you'll make it. ” Clinicals and classes can be time-consuming. Is it worth it? Marian Huntley, a sopho- more nursing student, said, In the end, I’m sure it is. Stephanie Lawhonne Yes. she makes house calls.

Mary Betr Kay Leadership and Education Perhaps the biggest hange in the social sciences epartment during the 1 985-1986 year was that r. Joyce Shealy, Dana rofessor of Psychology, ught her last class. After ppomtment as the new ean of the College of Arts nd Sciences, Dr. Shealy be- ame responsible for the cademic processes of the ntire college. She said that he felt “very sad to be aching her last class and hat she will miss the class- oom like mad. Moreover, r. Shealy said that she will Iso miss “not getting to now the girls well in the con- ext of the classroom. The freshman class in- luded more students who planned to major in psychol- ogy than earlier classes. In ddition, more students showed an interest in taking psychology and sociology courses to meet distributive requirements. The Psychol- gy Club gained new leader- hip under such seniors as Donna Ashe and Heidi Howell. Other students commented on specific classes which they enjoyed. Sophomore Denise Bur- chette said one of her favorite classes was adolescent and adult psychology because now I understand some of the changes I went through. “ Junior Leslie Bynum commented on the social psychology class taught by Dr. Christine Allegretti. She said, “We did experiments with kids from Myers Park Baptist Church that were very interesting and excit- ing. As Dr. Shealy moved up to a leadership position, educa- tion majors were learning an important job — educating future leaders. But. in order to do their job well, teachers must first be educated themselves. Majors were offered in early childhood education [kindergarten thru fourth grade] and intermediate education [fourth thru sixth grade]. Under the instruc- tion of professors Dr. Jan Ginger and Sandra Loehr, and Susan Hooks, English professor, and Suzane Degni, secretarial science in- structor, students took classes such as Introduction to Teaching, Literature for Children. Physical Education in the Elementary School and Methods in Art Education. Students who majored in other fields but also wanted a teaching certificate in secondary education were able to become certified by completing their major requirements and taking selected education courses. With all of these classes under their belt, these students put knowledge to the test as they became teachers for a term. Student teachers were placed in local schools and eventually took over the classes as their own. They taught, planned, disciplined and did everything a real teacher would do. The education department continued to grow. In the 1 985-1986 school year, there were three times more students in the early childhood and intermediate education majors as in 1984-1985. A survey was taken in the fall which showed eighty students already in education majors or expressing an interest in majoring in education. Graduating with an educa- tion major and teaching certificate did not mean the only thing to be done was teach: other possibilities in- cluded administration positions, specialty teach- ing, and creating new educa- tional programs. Professor Loehr said, “Teaching is a challenging and rewarding profession with expanding career opportunities.

Si Division of Business and Economics Business The busy and often hectic world of business was the heartbeat of the working world. For this reason, business was again one of the top majors. Students spent many hours learning about the business world and how the economy worked. Though this seemed much easier for the professors than for the students, business majors strived to be as knowledgeable. One professor, Ron Basmi. believed in opening up new points of interest to his students which involved various business functions. Students wanting a career in business have to learn to be analytical about problems and solutions. said Basmi. Along with economics, finance, business and account- ing, which made up the business department. came the secretarial science division. This one-year program teaches most of the secretarial skills required in business. Suzanne Degni headed the department with much success. I think our secretarial science program provides our students with an outstanding education in the business world. said Degni. It prepares them for entry into the job market.

But, some students did not need finan- cial aid — they earned a scholarship in recognition of their scholastic achievement and proven leadership quali- ties. The highest of these honors was the Presidential Scholarship. Queens offered up to ten to first- time freshmen of unusual accomplishment and poten- tial. Based entirely on achievement, the scholar- ship covered full tuition which amounted to more than $20,00Q for four years. Additional scholarships were awarded also on the basis of achievement. The Queens Scholar and the Carol G. Belk Leadership Awards were for those who exhibited outstanding records in scholarship and leadership in high school and community. The Redd Spe- cial Achievement Awards were given to students who demonstrated talent and ability in any field — writing, science, athletics, drama, or art. The amount of these awards varied and were renewable based on academic performance.

Leadership One way in which outstand- ing seniors were honored was through the selection of Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. This organization recognized noteworthy student leaders on campus throughout the country. The eight students were chosen by campus nominating committees on the basis of scholarship, leadership, and co-operation in educational and extracurricular activities, general citizenship, and the promise of future usefulness. Another way in which seniors were recognized was through Orb and Sceptre. This honorary organization was founded in 1 SSI with the purpose to recognize those students who had shown outstanding leadership, scholarship, and concern for the college community. Led by President Garilyn Lowder and advisor Dr. Clyda Rent, the prganization sought and found membership in Mortar Board, the oldest national leadership, scholarship and service organization. Dr. Rent felt that there was a definite advantage to being recognized nationally as opposed to local. “Orb and Sceptre, said Mary Robinette, “consisted of a group of people active on campus, yet took one step further to organize again in order to serve again. Which is difficult. I feel, continued Mary, “that we were the first group to go beyond our goal. That was what made Orb and Sceptre unique. ” Mary Beth Kay Mary Beth Kay ORB SCEPTRE: Row 1 : Susan Dykema, Alicia Rigney.

Citizenship Seniors were not the only ones honored for academic excellence and leadership abilities. Established in 1 03 7. Valkyrie, an honorary organi- zation, consisted of students from the sophomore class. They were chosen on the basis of outstanding leader- ship, citizenship and scholar- ship exhibited during their freshmen year. Members were tapped at the beginning of the sophomore year. ”1 didn’t know what it was when I was awarded.” said Valkyrie member Suzanne Manzer. Many of my friends, who were upperclassmen, said, ‘You’ve got Valkyrie, you’ve got Valkyrie.’ ’What’s that?, ’ I asked. ‘It’s only the highest honor a sophomore can get.’ I really couldn’t believe it. ” Student Marshals con- sisted of those who had achieved the highest cumula- tive average in the senior, junior, and sophomore classes. The student with the highest average for her three years served as Chief Marshal during her senior year. The marshals served as ushers at convocations. The Zetetic Society was a regional honorary organiza- tion composed of faculty and students. Their main purpose was to recognize high scholastic attainment for seniors and juniors, and to encourage independent research. Mary Beth Kay Zetetic, Valkyrie. Marshals 7 7 . . . Achievement There were also a few societies that honored students on their achieve- ment in a certain department. The Tau Tau Chapter of the Beta Beta Beta National Honorary Biological Society promoted interest in the biological sciences and kept students aware of new developments in the field. The club’ was also affiliated with the North Carolina Academy of Sciences. “This society was very benefidial to my major, ” said the president of Beta Beta Beta Tracy Curenton. “But, I really enjoyed the different conventions. ” The international music fraternity for women, □micron Lambda Chapter of Delta Omicron was estab- lished at Queens in May 1 S5S. Membership was open to students who did major or minor work in music, to music faculty, to professional musicians and concert artists. Delta Omicron was based on scholarship of high quality. Finally, Sigma Upsilon was the honorary writers frater- nity. Formerly limited to men’s colleges, it now includes a small number of women’s colleges. The Cakes and Ale Chapter at Queens was established in May 1 951 with a membership based upon creative literary ability, inter- est and active participation. I felt that it was an honor to be in a club with a lot of people that shared the same inter- est, and I considered it a privilege to hear others read their own works and others to hear mine and appreciate it, said Sigma Upsilon member Elisher Ferrell.

These groups planned everything from dances to blood drives to just a nice dinner for their associa- tion. From the Student Nurs- ing Association to Beta Beta Beta, from the Music Therapy Club to Orientation Leaders, these groups gave us something to work for and someone to work with. i Organizations Division SI Keeping Up With the Times As the activities branch of Student Government, Col- lege Union planned and pro- moted many new events on campus; plus, they continued old traditions such as the College Union birthday in April and Special Event’s Tree Trim during the Christmas season. Cultural Events, chaired by Shirley McGuire, brought comedian Randy Levin to the Hollow March IS, 1S86 for a change of pace. The committee also planned Wednesday night dinners and provided interested students with symphony and opera tickets through the music department. The Film Committee, chaired by Julia Kurdt, was responsible for two major changes in the structure of the committee itself. First, the committee changed from using reel-to-reel films to the use of a VCR. Near the end of spring term, a collection of video movies was started, and beginning with the 86-87 school year, students were allowed to reserve the videos at their convenience. The second change was to create a place to store and view the videos. The study room on first floor Wallace was painted and transformed to house the video equipment as well as serve as the movie house. ” But, during 85-86, films were shown in Dana 1 06. Mel Gibson started the movie year off in “Mrs. Soffel;” “Dr. Strangelove and The Thing were October’s films; The Beatles visited during March in their Yellow Submarine;” and Richard Gere in Looking for Mr. Goodbar and “The Pink Panther,” starring Peter Sellars, ended the year. The Recreation Com- mittee, chaired by Andrea Williams-Stroud, initiated a fitness program to benefit interested students. Anne Gant, recreation advisor, assisted students in deter- mining which exercise pro- gram would be most bene- ficial. Recreation also expanded the aerobics program to four nights a week with classes taught by Helen Randall and Carol Lovelace. Plus, the second annual Jog-a-thon was run November 1 O, 1 385 which raised money for the weight room and the American Lung Association.

Organizations S3 While Keeping Us Busy The Religious Life Commit- tee was a non-affiliated group, set up not to preach but to get people more involved in humanitarian services. This was accomplished through such programs as the Crisis Assistance Ministry and sponsoring a fast for OXFAM. One of their goals for the year was to emphasize more of the college’s church- related background and this meant getting more people involved. RLC was not only in charge of the Moravian Love- feast during the Christmas season, but also the weekly chapel services. Under the leadership of chairperson Meg Stanley and Chaplain Deneise Deter-Rankin, RLC enlisted the college com- munity to take part in providing special music, reading scripture, or handing out programs. The commit- tee also brought in students from other schools — UNCC, Davidson, and Belmont Abbey — to take part in a Vespers Service held April 2S, 1 98B. Social Activities Com- mittee, chaired by Donlyn Litchford, coordinated the four dance weekends and helped other groups with theme parties such as the Halloween party with The Critics, ” Plus, the Casino Party tradition continued for the second year with jazz band “Flight 1 OB and the midnight auction. The Special Events Com- mittee, chaired by Phyllis Bruce, was the helping hand” committee. The members helped with different week- ends by addressing envelopes to parents anad helping with other details. During Christ- mas, Special Events had a tree trim party in Burwell Parlors. As Phyllis did for the 1985 presentation, the 86-87 chairperson, Elisher Ferrell, planned the May Court presentation on May 3, 1SBS. Getting flowers, pro- grams, and twenty girls ready, plus planning the event around a 1 2: □□ wedding were all part of the hustle and bustle of the 1 1 : OQ pre- sentation. Along with the leadership of President Annie Lowrance, Vice President Mandy Maultsby, Secretary Mary Robinette, Treasurer Abby Hewins and advisor Kelly Ryan, the six chairpersons met on Mondays to talk and give support for one another’s programs. These ten students were the Board of Directors who planned the College Union Welcome Back Party with Radio One in September and the College Union Birthday Party, complete with balloons, cake, music, and dinner in Morrison Quad.

I Wanna Be a Cowtxjy The Day Student Associa- tion, called Delta Sigma Alpha, organized all traditional age commuting students who sought involvement in Queens. Their purpose was to make a nonresident woman feel as if they were a part of the campus and to strongly encourage them to partici- pate in school activities. Delta Sigma Alpha pres- ident Geanice Lowder and Julie Immke, members of the Senate, helped to get the association visible on campus. They also had help from Dean Diana Williams and advisor Dr. Joyce Shealy who encouraged the day students to par- ticipate in school functions and offered many insightful ideas and recommendations. Members met during bi- weekly luncheon meetings and at dinners during Christmas and at the end of the year. Their main goal for the year was a new lounge, which they received. They changed the location from Jermgan to upstairs Morrison, but gave the room back during the Senate's fix up Morrison project. Goals for the next year included a get-together during orientation, jerseys with their Greek letters, and more fund raisers. Another organization designed for commuting students was the New Dimensions Association established for the woman over the age of 23 going back to school. Under the direction of President Roberta Palumbo, Vice President Rose Massachi, Treasurer Judy Mullen, and Secretary Chert Foxwell, the group sought to become more a part of the campus and to build comradeship with the traditional age student. President Roberta Palumbo felt that overall, 1 985-1 986 had been a good year. Two New Dimensions scholarships were given out on awards day to Audrey Montgomery and Nikki Slocum. Part of the money used to fund these scholarships came through a champagne buffet in Burwell Parlors. Tickets sold for SI O and food and beverages were donated by the New Dimen- sion students. Plus, the New Dimensions Association received much support from the admin- istration. Dean Diana Williams worked to pull loose ends together after they had lost their advisor, Mary Rhodes. When she left, ” said Roberta. Diana helped us to get back on track. She gave us direc- tion and helped to provide a program each month.

Sloane Cooper works on completing the index for the yearbook. Changed Ways In an effort to meet the needs of the editors of the student publications, a fourth branch to the Stu- dent Government Associa- tion was established — The Publications Board. It was here that editors and advis- ors could vent frustrations, accomplishments and seek advice from other members of the board. Stacy Nof- singer, president, kept a close watch on the Queens Current, The Signet, and the Arete . All three of the pub- lications had one thing in common — change. Each staff changed routine to promote efficiency and ac- curacy. Under the direction of editor Amy Walton, man- aging editor Louise White, and new advisor Martha Rainey, production and the staff ran smoothly. Things went better than I had expected, ” said Amy Walton. Martha Rainey was very supportive, always had new story ideas. The staff was willing to work; I just think that the morale was higher than in the past. ” Cathy Cox, editor of the Signet, stated, After a year of hardships we increased the size of the magazine, and hopefully produced an en- joyable piece of work that reflected the different personalities and styles of Queens.” In an attempt to make typing and editing much easier, The Signet automated their systems for the small but dedicated staff. The editors of the Arete’, Donlyn Litchford and Mary Beth Kay. agreed that being an editor took a lot of hard work and a dedicated staff. This was also the first year in about ten that the yearbook operated under co-editors. While Mary Beth handled the copy and Donlyn concen- trated on photography, the two came together to make decisions on layout style and theme. Eve Hill Publications 89 Another Mother? Living in a residence hall could have been considered very exciting, however some- one had to be responsible for the small details that made it even better. This responsi- bility was put in the hands of the Resident Assistants CRAs). Before positions were filled and halls assigned, the RAs went through a series of in- tense and detailed interviews designed to test their abilities to stand under pressure in different situations, work as a team, and to face new respon- sibilities. The RAs met each week to discuss any problems and plan activities. A few of the events they sponsored were wellness month, the dare to be different” party, Derby Day, and the Moontanning Party. And as they attempted to bring their hall together as a unit, they never stopped trying to improve their skills and make things easier. For example, to increase their awareness of alcohol abuse, the RAs attended a workshop in which Mary Ann Pike, from the Charlotte Council on Alcoholism, spoke on the symptoms to note in cases of alcohol abuse. Plus, they met with Public Safety Officer Sandy Crenshaw to talk about the possibility of making safety cards with numbers for students to call in case of emergency. Being an RA was con- sidered a rewarding ex- perience. They learned more about themselves, respon- sibility, and how to associate with different types of people. They also learned that it was a job that required more than just unlocking doors and handling maintenance requests. Margaret Calhoun and Mary Beth Kay And the winner is . . .

Under the leader- ship of Heidi Howell. Phyllis Bruce. Donlyn Litchford. Nancy Nardolilli. and advisor Dr. William Thompson, the legislative branch of SGA asserted itself as a strong organization, proudly serv- ing Queens College. Please take a few minutes to read over the Senate’s accom- plishments for 1 985-86. Encouraging Political Awareness The Senate presented the “5: 40 Forum” series where students could move to the back of Morrison and finish eating dinner while listen- ing to issues concerning South Africa. Central America, the deficit or terrorism discussed by Dr. Robert Whalen, Dr. Thomp- son. Professor Ron Basini, Dr. Michael Tager, and D.G. Martin, respectively. The Senate also placed two copies of The Charlotte Observer in the dining hall. Serving the Charlotte Community The Senate raised $250. OO for United Way by holding an eight-hour Rock-a-thon at Outlet Square on October 17. 1 985. Senators volun- teered two afternoons at the Clothing Ministry down- town. They also collected canned goods at Thanks- giving and participated in the Armed Services Christmas Mail Call. Working with Neighboring Colleges Senate representatives participated in the Meck- lenburg United Association of Student Governments, which also included repre- sentatives from UNCC. Davidson, CPCC. and Johnson C. Smith. MUASG met once a month to ex- change ideas and plan com- munity projects. Serving the Faculty and Administration The Senate celebrated Honor Thy Faculty Week in October and held two door-to-door coffees for professors and admini- strators. The Senate also selected students to serve on the standing faculty committees: Educational Programs and Curriculum Committee CEPCCD, Student Life, Honors, and Awards. Serving Queens Students All year long, students purchased discount VIP movie passes provided by senators, who staffed the SGA office every Monday through Thursday, from 1:00 to 3:OC pm. The Senate also presented students with free Gift Packs in September and donated $100 to help make the Citadel trip possible. Students Cand faculty and administrators] received birthday cards from the Senate, as well. The Senate dealt with campus issues such as the new grading system and Abby. The Senate spon- sored Upstairs Morrison Week, which was orches- trated by Donlyn Litchford. And at Christmastime, the Senate presented the first annual Last Lecture. ” given by Dr. Whalen. All in all, the Senate served students well — first, by watching over active Food Housing, and Alcohol Policy Committees and supervising four successful elections: and second, by providing many new services that Queens students seemed to appreciate. Becoming a Team In addition to all the hard work, senators enjoyed a little fun along the way. The year began and ended with a party, and a few “Cosby Nights were thrown in for good measure. Every senator received her own t-shirt, and many received the coveted Queens Cup Award for outstanding service to the Senate. The 1 085-B6 Senators volun- teered their time and enthusiasm all year long. Because of them. 1 SB5-B6 was a tremendous success. Donlyn LrDcnfond Off on another one of Heidi's special retreats.

Senate S3 (i KEEN JjTUf Unity and Communication BSU — Black Student Union — was an organization formed to give black students a feeling of unity and to enhance communication between the black students and the college. Under the leadership of President Veronica Stewart, the group planned activities for Black History Month in February. These activities were designed to enable the members to share ex- periences of Black Americans with the Queens community. Because his birthday became a national holiday the Black Student Union honored Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during this month. Another organization for the black students was the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. Although not an official sorority on campus, students pledged through the graduate chapter. Affiliation with this group meant an opportunity for sisterhood and a chance to be part of a national organi- zation. Plus, it gave sorority members a network for times beyond graduation.

Donlyn Utcnfo 96 Organizations Active and Aware In an attempt to become tore politically active and Dolitically aware, the college saw the formation of two new groups on campus. Students :or America CSFAJ and North Carolina Student Legislature NCSU. Students for America was an activist group comprised Df about 57 students. Nation- ally organized. SFA was a non- aartisan group for various aolitical figures. Led by Heidi slichols and her right hand aerson Paige Orrie. the group worked for many Charlotte Doliticians during their campaigns, namely Funder- aurk for Senate. Other activities included obbying in Washington. D.C. n support of the contras in slicaragua. Plus, the group in- cited Carl Horn, a Charlotte awyer, to the campus to apeak on the Reagan Revolu- ;ion. Many of the SFA nembers also attended the annual convention held in A ashington, D.C. in January. The non-partisan NCSL jnder the guidance of President Phyllis Bruce. Vice President Maripaige Loving. Secretary Andrea Williams- Stroud. and Treasurer Laura Sain, worked to participate in monthy i n t e r - c o u n c i I meetings all over the state. From U N C - G r ee n s b o r o , UNC-Wilmmgton, UNC- Charlotte, to UNC-Chapel Hill, the 25 members took part in the weekend gath- erings. Part of the time was spent in meetings while they also engaged in debates where the students created resolutions and then dis- cussed them. Several students partici- pated in Session March 26- 30. Held in Raleigh, NC, the five day session allowed the students to act as Senators in the state's old capitol build- ing. According to Laura Sain, the Session and Inter- Council weekends were fun and also a great way to meet people who were very serious about politics today.” Leslie Bynum.

S8 Organizations Donlyn UtchforcS Upholding the Truth Before hearing the case, Wendy Ingram and Suzanne Manzer talk with the other members of the council about Honors Emphasis week. As a member of the Queens College community, I do hereby resolve to uphold the honor code of the college and endeavor to create a spirit of integrity and honor for its own sake. I pledge truthfulness at all bimes, respect for the property of others, and absolute honesty in the performance of all academic work. Realizing that the honor code places upon me de- mands as well as privileges, I resolve to report any student — including myself — who may violate any of the crinciples of the honor code. I understand the honor code and realize that a plea of ignorance will not be ac- cepted by the college commu- ilty. . . . the Honor Code pledge, as printed in the student handbook. It applies to all phases of life at the college and to all members of the college community. You signed it before you entered Queens. Violations of the honor code were divided into two major categories: residence hall and major honor violations. It was the responsibility of the Honor Council and the Dorm Council to handle the viola- tions; plus, they were to edu- cate students about the honor system and enforce campus policies. The eight members of the Honor Council investigated and acted upon alleged viola- tions of the Honor Code. They heard cases that could be punishable by state law and those that were referred to it by the Dorm Council or the Dean of Student Affairs. The council worked under the leadership of Wendy Ingram and advisors Dr. Charles Couch and Professor Sherry Laurent. The Dorm Council was con- sidered the daughter council of the Honor Council. Their purpose was to investigate and act upon any violations of residence hall regulations. The council worked under the leadership of President Susan Dykema and faculty advisor Susan Hooks. The council held weekly meetings with members that included one representative from each dorm. Mary Beth Kay Honor and Dorm Councils 99 A Team Work The physical education program took a few swings in the right direction. There was an increase in participation in all of the sports and an in- crease in the number of sports to participate in. Tennis, volleyball, along with the addition of the soccer team, captured the attention of the college. If you happened to miss a volleyball or tennis match, there never failed to be a recap of the week’s highlights in the Focus. From wins and losses to team injuries, the college community could keep up on the latest in sports. In addition, coaches Anne Gant and Phyllis Pharr never failed to give support or recognition where it was due. Once considered a club sport, the college acquired a new soccer team. Under the coaching efforts of Duncan VanPelt, friend of the college and experienced soccer player, Anne Gant, and Kelly Ryan the team set a firm foundation for its first year. Practice days were held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from A: 30 — B: 30 pm at Myers Park Elemen- tary. The Recreation Committee atttempted to give support to these sports as well as set up a few programs of their own, such as working out in the weight room, swimming or water aerobics, floor aerobics, running or even walking with groups. Plus they encourage the support of the student body to ensure the success of the sports program.

According to President Carol Lovelace, the Art Club was the largest it had ever been, attracting students of all majors. I Along with Carol Lovelace. Vice President Julie Bell, and Secretary Dawn Buice. this approximately fourteen member group participated in many activities. As a change of pace from the galleries downtown, whose openings they attended each month, the group traveled to Atlanta. Georgia one Saturday to tour different museums. The group also helped with “Friends of Art Programs” by planning receptions and other activities. Plus, together with the Music Therapy Club, the Art Club sold M Si Ms to raise money for the Art Depart- ment. The club not only helped others out but had a few parties of their own. “This year,” said Carol Lovelace, “we had a t-shirt painting party, which was lots of fun. and our first annual Christ- mas tree trim party where we made our own ornaments to put on the tree. Two of their big events for the year con- sisted of winning first place for the best room in the Fix Up Morrison project, and sponsoring a student art show for all students to dis- play their art work.

His name is Colonel James Norman Pease, born November 1 , 1 885, and currently the Chairman of the Board of J.N. Pease Associ- ates. Although the news of his degree may be new to you, he is definitely not new to Queens or Charlotte. He has served as an active trustee to the college since 1061, plus he has supported University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC), Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC), and the Charlotte Symphony Society, to name a few of his other civic involvements. Col. Pease has been a major force in Charlotte's development since coming to Charlotte 58 years ago,” said Dr. Billy Wireman, president of Queens. He has left his imprint everywhere from Marshall Park to Myers Park High School, most CPCC buildings, UNCC’s Dalton Library, Jeferson First Union Tower, WBT and WBTV studios, Duke Power and Knight Publishing Company, among other parts of Charlotte. Now, he has left his mark at Queens College and with the class of 1 086. I'm proud as a peacock to be graduating,” said Col Pease. And we're very glad to have him. He's very eager to par- ticipate in our functions, and I'm proud to have him in our class, said Alicia Rigney, senior class president.

Oh, no, not that stuff again,” she moaned. What has Ronnie done that has the whole campus inflamed with curiousity and envy? During the summers of 1 984 and 1 985, Ronnie was in New York modeling for several new designers. Specializing mainly in photographic modeling, she earned around $50 an hour. How did Ronnie get into the modeling field, and what made her decide to do it? She first became interested in modeling during her freshman year, when she was told by so many people that she should be modeling; it had never really occurred to her before then. However, the next summer she travelled to New York and told a friend that she was interested in getting into modeling. Her friend spoke with two female models she knew who told Ronnie the people she should go to see and how she should attempt to get assignments. The first thing they told her was that experience was necessary to get the really good jobs. It was susggested that Ronnie should try to model for Harlem Week, a week-long celebration in Harlem which basically celebrates and promotes Blacks. A fashion show featuring promising new designers was one of the attractions. Ronnie did get the job, which led her to doing some photo work for T. W. Ford. Ford told Ronnie that she fit the Ford look, although she told me I couldn’t walk, said Ronnie. During the summer of 1 985, Ronnie did less actual model- ing and more “looking around, as she put it. She was offered the chance at a part in the upcoming movie Philly Boys, which is being filmed in Philadelphia as part of the city’s facelift project, to bring new interest to the old city. However, Ronnie decided not to go to the auditions, since filming of the movie would not begin until the late part of August, when whe was returning to Queens. Some people think that’s crazy, ” she laughs, to give up that chance for college. ” Although she is majoring in English, which may appear to be a field unrelated to modeling, Ronnie is determined to get her degree. I’m well aware of the image models have of being flighty and stupid — many people think that the only reason we model is because we have a face and don't know how to use anything else. I want people to know I have a brain, and a degree will impress them. I also want to be able to sell myself verbally and protect myself against contracts which will attempt to take advantage of the model. ” What most people don’t realize, Ronnie said, is that when you walk into a modeling agency, the best way to look is completely natural. That means NO makeup and NO fancy clothes. What they want to see is YOU — the bare bones. Also, how you look and move underneath the makeup and clothes. If you have the look, then you can make it. If you don’t, there’s no way you ever will, no matter how hard you try and how long you stay in the business, ” Ronnie plans to go to New York immediately after gradua- tion and get into the professional, full-time modeling world. She intends to give herself three years to make it. ” [Making it, in Ronnie's opinion, means making money in the thousands-per-hour bracket — not unusual for good models.] If she hasn’t made it” in that period of time? I’ll settle somewhere in Ohio, have a house and kids, and write or something,” said Ronnie. The important thing is that I give myself that chance. My mom thinks that this modeling thing is crazy, but I have to try. Years from now, when I think back, I don’t want to be thinking, ‘what if?’ ’’ Katie Ives 118 Juniors I'm well aware of the image models have of being | flighty and stupid — many people think that the o only reason we model is because we have a face g and don't know how to do anything else. I want 3 people to know I have a brain, and a degree will 3 impress them,” said Ronnie Stewart.

Many would agree that the junior year at college seems pretty un- eventful. So, we decided to give the juniors at Queens something to hoot about. In the fall of 1 985, a junior class survey was taken at Queens and here are the results! Some of the votes were so close that we listed the top two winners. FAVORITE MUSIC GROUP .......

For the first time in several years. Jaynie danced ner native dance, the Highland Reel. An accident to her foot iad caused her to give up competitive dancing in many Df the United States' Highland Sames for some time. Jaynie became interested in Scottish dancing at the same time she became aware of her heritage. She and her ounger sister were taken to the Highland games at Grand- Father Mountain. While her sister was immediately taken vith bagpipes. Jaynie fell in ove with the dancing. She cegan taking dance lessons at age seven, which is late for a Highland dancer, who usually Degins at age three or four. 3he kept up with her dancing jntil she injured her foot badly enough to have to quit. The Highland dances are ex- ;remely wearing physically, and require superb muscle and breath control. The Highland Reel, which is the irst of the dances taught and. according to Jaynie, the )ne dance you never forget. ” takes an average dancer at least a year to learn and perform properly. It was origi- nally a dance performed before the battles in Scotland, and as a result, was a vigorous and taxing dance. Only in recent times were women included in the perfor- mance. The dance has made no concessions to them; it remains as difficult as it was in the beginning. The Highland Reel is composed of six basic steps, and each step has four substeps in it. which does not make it an uncomplicated dance. A dancer will hit his or her competitive peak, usually at about age 21, and then wear down — not in the sense that he or she must quit danc- ing. but in terms of successful competition. Related closely to ballet, the Highland dances include many ballet move- ments and ballet warmup routines are used before every dance sessions. The Highland Reel is truly an un- recognized art form in the United States. In Scotland. said Jaynie. “they have the Highland Games practically every weekend — it's a big part of their heritage.” Jaynie's Scottish heritage was very important to her too. since she has put a lot of time and effort into her dancing. When I decided to perform the Highland Reel for the Talent Show, it took me about three weeks to get back into shape — and it wasn't easy. I kept collapsing halfway through the dance because I couldn't control my breathing. It was pretty funny! ” she said.

For her first time in this competition, Sally made it to the semi-finals and was a part of the top twenty. Having qualified for the event in May. 1 985, at regional shows, Sally knew she would have to miss a week and a half of school before the semester began. Even though it meant extra homework and missing precious rehearsal time for the fall drama, Sally looked upon this event as one of the high points of her freshman year. Of course, with the people who gathered at the nationals from all over the country and the rich sleek horses which they so carefully brought with them, a certain thrill filled the air. From the equestrians grooming the long, flowing manes of their horses to the excitement of hooves pound- ing around the track, the Na- tional event made it a worthwhile leave of absence from school. Sally comes from a family of equestrians and began riding at the age of six. At age eleven, Sally began competing in shows after getting her own Arabian horse. When asked if she would like to ride full-time, Sally said that she always wants to keep equestrianship as a hobby, but it takes too much dedication as a career when you have several other interests to look into. ” Amy Kay 132 Freshmen Donna Caldwell Lisa Campagna Stephanie Cartwright Kelly Cheek Jo Childs Sloane Cooper Steph Counts Dianna Daisey Lisa Dodson Cathy Dolan Jacqueline Duong Meredith Eaves Suzanne Everhart Janet Fipp Dawn Fortune Gretchen Forberg Margaret Fowlkes Meg Freeman Robin Glaysher Debbie Gray Freshmen 133 Your hand goes here; no, under her arm.

The class has four sets of twins among its ranks — two with their twins here and two without. When asked what the best advantage of having a twin was, Queens freshman twins said that the two develop a close friendship. Miles White, a twin without her other twin at Queens, said that although she and twin sister Carrie look like the same person, their personalities can be con- sidered practically opposite. Carrie was in Germany for a year as an exchange student and “the separation drew us closer together and helped us develop as individuals. stated Miles. Often mistaken for the other, a problem that could have been solved by separate schools. Linda and LeAnn Warren like being together at Queens. They felt that it would be hard to be away from the other; and as LeAnn stated, It was like I brought a part of home with me; it made the adjustment easier. On the other hand, Mary Helen Allen and her twin brother Lee, who attends East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, are never mistaken for one another. He is tall with brown hair, blue eyes, while Mary Helen is small with brown eyes. We’re not alike at all, said Mary Helen, “so there isn’t any confusion. We don’t do things together all the time, but I do enjoy hanging around his friends. In junior high school Elizabeth and Christina Stover, also freshman twins together at Queens, used to switch classes — even take tests for the other. They even played this game on the phone; if one was talking to a guy she did not like, she would put the other on the phone to get rid of him. The other would not feel bad because she did not know him. Though twins often con- sider themselves part of a matched set, students stand on their own as individuals. That was what made the class of 1 989 different from the rest. Amy Kay and Mary Beth Kay “Even though we look like almost the same person, our personalities can be con- sidered practically opposite, said Miles White about twin sister Carrie. Mary Helen Allen, her father Walker and her twin brother Lee: We're not alike at all so there isn't any confusion.” said Mary Helen. It was like I brought a part of home with me, said LeAnn Warren about twin sister Linda (on left). Elizabeth and Christina Stover used to switch classes and take tests for the other — if only that could be so for the rest of us. Freshmen 13S Miles White Dugue Whitney Lon Wiseman What a brave soul!

Every day at lunch time you will always find Alan Lee sitting in the library reading the paper. Clyda Rent described him as the best kept and most effec- tive secret at Queens College. That comment explained why not many students had ever heard of him. Who is this man, Alan Lee? Mary Beth Kay Who? A famous movie star? Sara Lee’s father? Alan Lee was and has been the Vice President for Development and College Relations for the past five years. He is the person responsible for obtaining the money necessary to operate the college. Oh. In order to understand his job completely, some back- ground information must be given. Private colleges such as Queens are financed in three ways: earned revenues, tuition, and auxiliary enter- prises Cincome from Queen’s endowments]. All of this money put together would not be enough to cover the ex- penses needed to run the college. To help bridge this gap. the college relies on contributions from alums, individuals Csuch as friends of the college and trustees], foundations, corporati ons, and the Presbyterian Church as a whole. It is Alan Lee’s job to coordinate these efforts to raise this money, plus to get additional money for repairs, salaries, programs, etc. Four other departments work under Lee to help in his efforts: Alumni Affairs, Annual Support, News Services, and Planned Giving. Besides overseeing these offices, Alan Lee works with the President and trustees on obtaining BIG sustaining gifts. Alan Lee works hard for Queens and is definitely effec- tive. He is one secret worth keeping — here.

How does Queens College continue to grow? Who’s in charge of keeping the smiling new faces around campus? With all this in mind, it was easy to see why the Admissions Office stayed busy continually throughout the year, working diligently to meet deadlines. Spring and fall were im- portant times for Admis- sions. While high schools awaited the dismissal of students in the summer, the admissions office in Burwell Hall was moving right along preparing brochures, sending and receiving mail back cards, examining SAT scores and working on what its staff does best — looking for prospec- tive students with the right credentials. The admissions counselors did much traveling on a local and state level to share with others what Queens College is all about. They worked with interested students to inform them of student life and how they could become a part of it. One of the most important things for prospective students was the open house experience offered several times during the year for people to come and get a feel for what it’s really like.” Our purpose is to bring people together and, hopefully, make them feel comfortable enough to consider coming to our school, said Betsey Wood, the person in charge of the open houses. Certainly, the Queens community should be pleased, seeing that enrollment has in- creased 3D per cent since the 1 984 school year; freshmen were also expected to pour in for the 1 0B6 term. Improvements in the admis- sions program included allow- ing for scholarship interviews during open houses, which worked out more conveniently for all involved. In addition, the Queens College Alumnae Admissions Core (ENCORE) program was formed. This group of people was made up al alumni from all over to aid in contacting prospective students and talk with them about their college plans. Amy Kay Julie Rothschild and Katie Wireman talk with prospec- tive students and their parents during an open house dinner.

They are Annual Support, Planned Giving, Alumni Affairs and news Services. Each was a separate entity unto itself but together, under the direction of Alan Lee, they add to the college’s financial resources, enabling Queens College to maintain its high standards. There are three ways to give to the college: capital, annual and planned giving. Capital giving consists of major improvements to the in- stitution itself. The office of Annual Support, under the direction of Linda Lovek works on yearly gifts from two separate areas. First, with the help of 50 volunteers, the corporate fund calls on companies who can give $50 to $5,000. This in turn, promotes Queens within the corporate and busi- ness world. Second, the Alumni Annual fund works with alumni who make yearly gifts to the college. This is accomplished through mailings, one-on-one calls, and the Phon-a-thon. Since the office of Annual Support was created in 1 983, alumni support has grown 84%. The most valuable resource any college has is its alumni,” said Linda Love. “The financial support and involvement of alumni, especially young alumni, is vital to the continued growing momentum of a strong Queens College. The office of Planned Giving, under the direction of Chip Patterson, works on a type of deferred gift — such as those usually left in a will. Also gifts of stocks, bonds, real estate, insurance policies and cash from deposit accounts are solicited. Planned giving,” said Mr. Patterson, “is chari- table giving that grows out of a careful analysis of the donor’s financial needs and financial planning.” Queens future depends greatly on these gifts because they, in turn, increase the endowment [savings] and can be used to underwrite faculty salaries and student financial aid. In order for us to remain a quality church-related college,” said Mr. Patterson, “able students and first rate faculty are essential. ” Because the offices of Annual Support and Planned Giving rely heavily on alumni, Adelaide Davis, the Director of Alumni Affairs, works to keep the alumni interested, educated and involved in the life of the college. This means that she has to keep up with where they are. One of the ways this is accomplished is through organizing alumni chapters in as many cities as possible. They operate under the Alumni Association Constitu- tion and By-Laws which state: The purpose of the Associa- tion is to preserve and strengthen the interest of the alumnae in the college and in each other; to place both the alumnae and the college in a mutually supportive relation- ship; and to strengthen inter- est in a private Judeo- Christian education.” Alumni play an important role in the financial and public relations end of the college. My office does not ask for money,” says Adelaide Davis. You could just say that we are the PR and record- keeping arm of Develop- ment. ” The office of News Services, under the direction of Ann Matthews, is in charge of college relations. This entails presenting news about Queens and its happenings to parents, corporations, friends, alumni, students, and all parts of the school through the media in a favorable but professional way. I concentrate my efforts on Close- Up, a magazine published three times a year, and getting out good news about Queens to the public,” said Ann Matthews. People won’t give money to a place they don’t know or didn't think highly of. ” Mary Beth Kay CAREER CENTER. Katie Elsasser.

Esther also handled the printing of the Bulletin, the booklet, published annual- ly, which lists the various majors, their requirements, and course listings and descriptions. “I love being at Queens College, ” said Esther.

Everett Library has been under the knife. The counters have had a face life — the worn brown tops have been changed to attractive wood- like ones. They added a new microfilm copying machine and moved the education curriculum from the media center to a special room in the basement. They even moved the copying machine around to the front of the library. But, with change comes a rise in cost — copies are now cost- ing students twenty cents. The changes made the library an easier place to find information and get research done. Along with the changes in the appearance of the library, there have been some changes in personnel. Ms. Judith Abner became the new director of the library, Betty Shankle became the new public relations librarian and Ms. Brenda Hehr became the cataloging assistant. These women improved the library’s atmosphere and brought new ideas for improvement. Regrettably, Everett Library lost a warm and familiar face — Mrs. Mary Raines, the cataloging librarian, who retired after twenty-four years of service. She had helped countless numbers of students find their way about the library. She worked under the motto: “Everyone who comes through the door should be served and leave with what they were looking for and a positive feeling. ” According to Colleen Turnage, She is like everyone’s grandma.” We will miss Mrs. Raines and all the love and work that she has poured into Everett Library.

Public Safety does more than open dorms late at night and initiate fire drills. To get ready for the job, they train. Each officer has had extensive training and other educational classes. Campus police officers have training courses in medics, fire, rape and crime prevention as well as their rookie training. In order to become a member of the Queens College Campus Police,” said Officer Sandy Crenshaw, each officer had to complete basic police academy, campus law enforcement and extensive SBI [State Bureau of In- vestigation} training. ” Public Safety has seven officers working under Director Gene McAbee: Sandy Crenshaw, Donna Price, Scott Dance, Russell le Santes, Michael Holmes, Steve Simono, and Vijay Vyas. Two years ago there were only four officers. Now, the department plans to add two more officers in order to in- crease our protection and safety. This year, the department was also in charge of adding more spaces to the parking lots. The changes were made in the Everett Library circle, Harris lot, gym drive, Wellesley lot and Albright lot. Furthermore, Albright lot was turned into student park- ing only and Wellesley lot was designated for staff and commuter parking. Faculty began parking in the Fine Arts Center lot. Making these changes in the parking elimi- nated some of the parking crunch on the Queens campus. Jennifer Anderson Mary Beth Kay SPECIAL PROJECTS COORDI- NATOR.

Since then they have added the services of the bookstore, the Hollow and the vending machines all around campus. Saga is a nationwide food service corporation that has 350 accounts including area colleges University of South Carolina at Columbia, North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem and Belmont Abbey. Saga’s na- tional office is located in Menlo Park, California where standard menus are made although they can be altered by the local service. Besides providing meals for students, other groups take advantage of Saga’s con- venient service. They have catored receptions, dinners, sorority functions and luncheons for groups such as IBM, Celanese Corporation and Friends of the College in all areas of music and art. But, says Mark Nelson, Food Service Director, even with all of these additional accounts SO o of their business still comes from the students meal plans. Other main forces behind the recent changes in the service we’ve received, be- sides Mark Nelson, are Paul Kirby, the Food Service Manager, and the SGA appointed Food Committee. Amy Tope, senior, served as the student manager who organized the Wednesday night dinners and assisted in a variety of other functions. The staff has emphasized more this year than before to accomodate the needs of the students. Through the Food Committee, chaired by Margaret Watkins, Saga learned of what the students needed and wanted. Saga has also been used more as a recruiting tool for the Admissions Office by catoring the open houses more impressively than in the past. Further changes that Mark Nelson would like to see are that Saga will better be able to meet the needs of commuting students and night students. He would also like to see some renovation in the facility itself.

First, there was Dixie Electric, then Whispers, the Cellar, Plum Crazy, the Sundries. It used to be a midnight run to the A P or Bojangles, then came Athens Restaurant and Kroger Sav-On. No matter where we went, however, we still ate, drank, and were merry.

Just when you think there is one thing in life that will not change, one constant someone or something that will stand the test of time, one familiar sight, sound, or smell that reassures you that all is as it should be ... it all changes. Controversies spawn from change, unwanted and unexpected change that upsets the usual routine of every-day liv- ing. One such ghange on the Queens campus in February evolved into a con- troversial issue surrounding a not so tall basset hound named Abby, with a not so small problem called being homeless. Abby, surrogate pet and mascot of sorts to many of the students, could be predictably seen fearlessly guarding the dining hall door, napping outside the doors of Burwell Parlors, and occa- sionally escorting her chosen friends to their various destinations on campus. As long as anyone could remember, it had been Abby’s fate to aimlessly wander. Despite her supposed residential status on campus, Abby was actually a commuter. She belonged to the member of a neighboring family, but Abby soon became a part of campus routine. As students made their way across campus to class, they saw Abby. As students hurried to Morrison Dining Hall for lunch, they saw Abby. Abby, however, was not seeing enough of the students or lunch. Now, fate has a way of putting people — and animals — in the right place at the right time. While walking across campus to class one morning about two years ago, Ms. Susan Hooks, Instructor of English and renowned animal lover, noticed Abby acting unusual. Abby proceeded to let out a pathetic moan and fall over. I thought the dog had died right in front of my eyes, ” accounted Hooks, “and I realized that she needed help from someone.” Hooks im- mediately became Abby’s unofficial guardian — which would later prove to be an important piece in the puzzle of Abby’s fate. Hooks formed an “unofficial coalition of students” to take care of feeding and caring for Abby. Hooks made one of the several attempts to adopt Abby, only to find that her bulldog, Clemmie, and Abby would not get along. Unfortunately, the problems for Queens began to multiply as fast as fleas, Abby being the source of both. Because of her occasional visits to Burwell Parlor, the academic affairs and business offices had to be fumigated against Abby’s flea friends. The dining hall was given a warning by the sanita- tion department to keep Abby out of the foyer completely or their sanitation grade would be adjusted accordingly within 90 days. The problem with the furry friend was presented at a meeting of the A. C. C. [Administrative Coordinating Committee of Queens]. Dr. Clyda Rent, Vice-President of Academic Affairs, dis- cussed the problem with Renee Bramlett of the office of academic affairs, who volunteered to see what could be done to come to Abby’s aid from the administrative end. “There are possible solutions to every problem, ” Dr. Rent assured. Bramlett consulted Heidi Howell, president of the Student Government Association CSGA], and plans went into motion to find a full-time home for Abby. The SGA had a meeting, rumors began to circulate, and concern presented itself in the form of a petition to offer suggestions as to how Queens could take care of Abby without he removal from the campus. The propo sals included Abby sleeping in the maintenance building, and not allowing her in the dining hall anymore for an' reason. Howell explained that th problem still remained that the petitior of AO or 50 names did not provide om person or group that would be willing t take full responsibility for Abby’s food shelter, and veterinarian expenses. ” Hooks explained that administratior and the SGA “knew that the situatior had to be handled without endangerine Abby and without adding to hysterie over Abby’s fate. ” Still faced with this dog dilemma, i was decided that there were only tw( options: Cl ] Find Abby an off-campus home, or C2] Find a group on-campus who wouk be responsible for Abby completely ant consistently. Fortunately for Abby, the word wen out . . . and someone heard. A Nev Dimensions student, who just happenet to need a companion for her basse hound, heard about the controvers’ over what to do about Abby. She con tacted Hooks and plans were set intc motion. During the second week in February Abby was given to the New Dimensions student, who remained anonymous. So. now Queens’ floppy-eared sentine has retired, lives indoors, has had batl and shots, and sleeps at the foot of the bed . . . like any self-respecting house dog should.

What would any Open House be without refresh- ments? Students Katherine Anderson. Mandy Maultsby, Barb Nichols. Helen Randall, and Jenny Boone take advantage of the sandwiches, cookies, and cheese and crackers. I learned how to paint, how to sand, how to scrub, how to tape, how to decorate a room for 50 bucks! I also learned how to get paint out of my hair, how paint doesn’t come out of my clothes, how I never want to see another can of paint again. The Fix-up Morrison program, or- ganized by the Senate, brought the best and worst in the many organizations that participated. Each group received paint from maintenance and $50 to decorate a room. March 3-8, 1 986 was the working week, when painters and scrubbers were allowed in the sacred upstairs Morrison without breaking the Honor Code. Open House, complete with wine and cheese, was held following Deneise Deter-Rankin’s ordination on Sunday, March 9. Red ribbons were cut in front of each room, as sounds of cool jazz floated throughout the hallway. As students poured through the entrance, they were given ballots and cast their critical eyes upon each room. Their choice? The Art Club, for those crisp” checkerboard walls. Other favorites were the Senior Room and the SAC Suite. Several dignitaries attended the grand opening. Drs. Wireman and Rent were impressed with the students’ creativity and the time they gave to the Morrison Project. Even David Zeeso, Director of Maintenance, admitted that he was pleasantly surprised. ” The people who participated and changed a room from old to new, or at least better, were: Alpha Delta Pi, Art Club, Chi Omega. Dorm Council, Kappa Delta, Phi Mu, Senate, Senior Class, Social Activities Committee, and Spe- cial Events Committee.

Paige Ome and Jessica Sognier tour the Harvard University campus on a cold, dreary day in February. Awaiting the departure of their plane. Nancy Nardolilli. Jessica Sognier. and Dr. Michael Tager prepare for their week at the Harvard Model U.N. held in Cambridge. Massachusetts. Once In A Lifetime February 20-23, 1 9B6, six students — Nikki Wilson, Kay Berrien, Jessica Sog- nier, Paige Orrie, Shirley McGuire, and Nancy Nardo- lilli — went as delegates to the Harvard National Model United Nations held in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The students represented the country of El Salvador, and debated such issues as racism, terrorism, and the world economy with other students from colleges such as Harvard, the United States Military Academy, and Boston University. The students spent about six weeks in preparation for the Assembly. With the help of their sponsor, Dr. Michael Tager, Assistant Professor of Political Science, the delegates learned Parlia- mentary procedure, facts about their country, and how to act as an El Salvadorean delegate in the United Nations General Assembly. When they weren’t “in character as representa- tives of their various coun- tries. the students were touring the city of Boston, attending parties on the Harvard campus and a delegate dance. At these events it was quite common to see two students, who had debated furiously in committee sessions due to their countries’ conflicting viewpoints, laughing with each other and having a good time. The students who at- tended the conference returned to campus with a new understanding of world politics. “I met many different people.” said Nikki Wilson, “and I learned to have a more active attitude toward the problems in the world.

Let’s Call It A Year! Enclosed in a hardback stock cover number two, volume three of the Arete was printed by the Hunter Publishing Company of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Printed on SQIb. gloss paper, all two hundred pages were run with Hunter black ink and used the Eurostyle family of type throughout the book except for the Latin Condensed Extra on the title and division pages. And now, it’s May — make that June 1 st; we’ve already graduated, we're real people now, and where are we? Back at Queens finishing this book. Like they always say, we can’t believe it's done and boy, do we ever mean that! It has definitely been a rough year — struggling to complete homework as- signments or even get to class as we tried to get to all those committee meetings and still enjoy our last year of college. We made it through, however, but not without the help and support from our Queens family. Marbury Brown: What a cutie! Thanks for believing, supporting, laughing and giving us the encouragement to go onward. Eva Hill, Amy Kay, Sloane Cooper, Jennifer Anderaon, Lealie Bynum, Stephanie Lawhorne: Thanks for all the help with the copy, index, news gather- ing, financial matters, and for just stick- ing with it that last semester. We really appreciate it. Katie Ives, Mandy Maultsby, Heidi Howell, Carol Lovelace, and other non- staff members who helped write copy: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, and again, I say THANK YQU! You have our deepest gratitude. Nikki Wilson, Karen Jenkins, Alicia Rigney, Katja Reed, Mary Robinette, Lealie Bynum: You guys were lifesavers! Thank you so much for your help taking pictures and in the darkroom. Donlyn needed a break! Elian Thompson: Thank you for those great lines. They look Mah-velous! Martha Rainey: Thank you ever so much for proof-reading all of that copy. Your suggestions and help were GREATLY APPRECIATED. Whew! What a chore! JoAnn Thomas: Thank you bunches for being a great representative. We really appreciate all of your help and for being so flexible. Miss Gene Burton and Ann Matthews:Thank you for keeping your eyes open for pictures and letting us make use of your resources. Helen Carpenter and Nikki Wilson: THANK YOU A ZILLION TIMES for being there and helping us out those last days. Through messy polar bars that went everywhere but in our mouths, to giant flies, you stayed, worked, laughed, screamed, and continued to help us get this book out. Bless your little hearts! What else can we say — we’ll raise your kids until they’re 21? To the rest of the student body, faculty, staff, and administration: we truly appreciate your cooperation and support as we tried to capture the year. We wanted to be different, to try something new. Some things may even be a little weird, but at 5: □□ in the morn- ing you don’t know what you’re doing. We had a great time though.

Wireman. i As President, Dr. Wireman was ex- ceptional in that he was accessible to 3nd genuinely interested in Queens students. He made a point to meet with students regularly in his Burwell Office jnd to talk with them informally in the jining hall. The fact was that Dr. A ireman was always willing to give of his :ime to students, whose ideas and Dpinions he valued greatly, i Dr. Wireman has been recognized na- cionally as a dynamic college president. an educator, he was concerned with she fundamental teaching learning crocess. As a businessman, he single- handedly transformed Queens from a college struggling financially in the 70's into a strong ever-growing institution in the BO's. As a leader, Dr. Wireman was always searching for ways to make Queens College the best possible learn- ing environment in order to meet the needs of students of all ages. Dr. Wireman has successfully seen Queens through many changes since he assumed the presidency in 1 977, It was to his credit that Queens College flourishes today. The Senior Class would like to thank Dr. Wireman; we were indeed fortunate to have him at the helm. Nikki WilBon Just as excited as the graduates. Dr. Wireman hands the students their diplomas. Even with his busy schedule, Dr. Wireman always takes a moment to talk with students. This is the way we started off the year — all tied up in knots.

Often it happened so quickly that it took your senses awhile to catch up. The minute you arrived on campus in the fall, you began to notice the difference. And now that year has come to an end. The classrooms stand empty. The dining hall echoes its silence. Another group of seniors has moved their tassels from right to left as a signal of completion of four years. You packed up, moved out, said goodbye, and prepared for the summer. Some will work, some will go abroad, some will remain in school, and some will even get married.

To Someth Different And in the fall, three classes will return to greet the new freshmen with a changed look, different experiences, and excitement for a new beginning. It has happened every year. So, what was the point? Was it all the same? No. While the college will continue to house new faces within its ranks, it was the changes that happened within that were something to be appreciated and savoured since they most often broadened the student’s perception of ng herself and those around her in some way. In the meantime, you have to hold on, enjoy the ride, and revel in the person you will become.

After all, that was in a nutshell the purpose of college — to grow and develop into a reasonably intel- ligent person who will be secure in the knowledge that she can do whatever she wants to, as long as she has enough faith in herself. While you may appear the same, while the college may be the same as when you left for the summer, each day you will take on a new experience, a new attitude, a new belief that will add to the person you will become.
