Queens College has passed through at least one century and is still going strong. There- fore it is no wonder that Queens is plowing ahead at the end of this decade. This year has seen many new and exciting changes at Queens. Many in- clude: the post office in Stultz, January trips abroad, more par- king spaces, no freshman curfew, extension of male visit- ation hours, the Business Office in Jernigan, SGA, Honor Coun- cil, and Campus Judical Board offices in Walker Science Building, Admissions and Fin- ancial Aid on first floor Bur- well, Burwell and Morrison Dining Hall redecorated, males on campus, our first fraternity, the liberal learning program in its final stages, and an updated sports program. These changes have brought along a new atti- tude to Queens: one of adjust- ment and adventure. It is excit- ing to see the changes and how each one in its own way affects the life on campus — each one enriching the tradition that already stands. However, as Queens moves forward, there are some things that will always remain the same: cafeteria food, parking tickets, convocations, and trips to Davidson. These things keep alive the traditions at Queens, no matter how much we believe that Queens is losing her iden- tity. The changes that have been made and that will be made in the next few years are Moving Ahead.. Swinging merrily, Maria Trakas and Dana Stettler greet Cindy Gilmer as Carrie Cash looks on.

The seniors have chosen Dot Wentz and Dr. Clyda Rent to be the recipients of this dedica- tion. Dot Wentz first came to Queens in 1958 as Queens’ bookkeeper, payroll manager, and the manager of the general ledger. She has been the cashier at the student bank for the past ten years, never forgetting a face and always offering a smile. There is not an alumnus she does not know, no matter how many years ago one may have graduated from Queens. Dr. Rent came to Queens in 1972 as a member of the Socio- logy Department faculty. That, however, was only a mere be- ginning of her career to come at Queens. A woman who never slows down and serves as a role model to many, many people, Clyda was the founding Dean of the New College as well as the Graduate School. She served recently on the Board of Directors of the Arts and Sciences Council, and is a trustee of the North Carolina Performing Arts Center. Dr. Rent also was the founder of the Learning Society of Queens and serves on numerous other boards and committees, ap- pearing to never slow down at all. Both women are very dear to everyone at Queens and their familiar faces will be greatly missed. Dot is retiring from Queens in June of 1990 after be- ing at Queens for 32 years. Dr. Rent has just accepted a new job as the President of Missis- sippi University for Women. The class of 1989 wishes the very best for the both of you and thanks you for all you have done to help make Queens be- come what it is today. 6 Dr. Clyda Rent talks with tw o guests at the reception for Dr. Henry Kissinger. A load of paperwork comes with the job for Dr. Clyda Rent. 7 8 A New Beginning BITTERSWEET — the best and the worst of...well, every- thing! This has been the most exciting time of my life: mov- ing away from home (finally!), being surrounded by new, in- teresting people, and begin- ning a completely different kind of school. Yet each won- derful new experience has something scary about it. I sought out a college with peo- ple of various backgrounds and interests because I wanted to learn about life outside of my town, but now that I am sur- rounded by strangers, I want to be home with my high school friends, enemies, ac- quaintances, anyone familiar! I recall the common complaints about our rural high school fondly as I struggle through tests, schedules, and registra- tion, all the while cringing at the thought of writing papers, failing exams, and staying up all night every night, studying. Nothing has touched the dual nature of these experi- ences as Orientation has! I ar- rived on campus with four hours to move my most impor- tant possessions into one half of a dull, claustrophobic room. Of course, the whole family comes along to help create mass con- fusion and carry boxes through a jungle of luggage, boxes, cars, girls, parents, little brothers, and dark hallways. While un- packing, sorting, and getting THEM to go on their way, I meet my roommate, other freshmen, and too many leaders advisors resident somethings or other to re- member. As if this is not enough, we are shuffled off to socials, din- ners, meetings, parties, and field trips. In between running to do all of this and sleeping, I somehow find time to unpack, decorate, figure out a schedule, get acquainted with the strange people, and even write letters to friends. As Orientation drags on, I begin to feel as if I belong here. I realize this is a challenge — to accept and learn to like the changes while holding on to the distant things I still love: friends, home, a familiar small town. I dread classes, but long to settle into a familiar pattern and to be finished with the happy camper routine. Even with its scary newness and tir- ing activities, Orientation has been a great way to get used to college life and become a part of Queens. Without it, I would have been bewildered going into registration and classes and would not know my class- mates at Queens. Returning from a very wet ride at Caro- winds during Orientation are freshmen Verma Truman, Ivy Lim, Christy Vance, and Holly Roberts. Orientation leaders and Resident Assis- tants helped freshmen find their rooms and assisted in the chore of moving things into the rooms. “Is anyone home?” Ivy Lim takes a peek into a Smurfs home on Smurf Island at Carowinds. The typical look of a freshman’s room during the first few days of Orientation. ”S GREEK TOME! RUSH is an exciting part of Queens College each fall. This year’s theme was “Go Greek — What a RUSH!” and each sor- ority, through skits, song, and dance proved once again how strong and energetic the four sororities on campus are. Alpha Delta Pi rocked the rushees into the spirit with their own titillating version of Pi-TV. Jimmy Buffett, INXS, Sting and the Romantics were just a few of the musicians who let the rushees know of the fun and excitement of being an ADPi. On Saturday, the rushees were brought back to the day of the ganster with ADPi Syndicate. From flappers to mob leaders, the ADPi girls showed what ADPi means to them. Ice cream floats and a slide show gave the rushees a taste of being a Chi Omega. The Ice Cream Shop party let the rushees know not only the re- sponsibilities but the fun a girl can have as a Chi Omega. Satur- day, the Chi-Os invited the Ashley Stafford, Michelle Mclntire, and Tracy Terrell perform as the An- drew Sisters during the Moviola Skit that is a part of Kappa Delta RUSH. rushees to skip down the yellow brick road to Chi-O Oz. The Lion, Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and other Oz favorites gave the rushees the true feeling of the sisterhood found in Chi Omega. Kappa Delta was dressed in army greens for their version of M A S H. The rushees ex- perienced the specialness of being a KD through this un- ique blend of skit and slide show. On Saturday, special appearances by Scarlett O’Hara, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and other celebrities in KD’s Moviola all expressed how girls of all types can find happiness and sisterhood in Kappa Delta. Phi Mu rapped their way into the rushees’ hearts with their original Phi Mu rap and slide show. On Saturday, Phi Mu gave the rushees quite a show with Pinky’s Place. Their per- formance of seven skits consist- ing of a little Grease, INXS, Hee Haw and others expressed the fun and happiness shared by all the sisters of Phi Mu. Melanie Moore is a scarecrow in the Chi Omega RUSH skit adapted from The Wiz- ard of Oz. Stopping for a moment to pose for a picture during the Pi TV Alpha Delta Pi RUSH skit are. Wendi Bryant, Sarah Taylor, Joy Plemmons, Maritza Rowan, Pam Slagle and Amy Lohr. Helping out in the Phi Mu RUSH skit “You’re one of our kind” are Jacqui Sublett, Kim McCarty, Debi Hart, Kendra Cole, Kim Matthews, and Stephanie Sabo. 12 «vf n-. i “Only in your dreams...” Amanda Knox, Nancy Swecker, Adrienne McCormick and Meghan Rowen practice for their Phi Mu RUSH skit — Phi Mu Dreamin!

Although rain moved the lawn concert inside, students manage to relax, visit Visiting Dad is part of the Oktober- with friends, and enjoy the music of fest Weekend for Leigh Fizer IBM. Oktoberfest Fall Festivities The excitement of returning to school culminated as Queens students prepared for the fall’s hottest activity: Oktoberfest. This three day weekend was one of relaxation and frolics as bands, dates, and even parents graced the campus. Friday, September 30, started off the weekend with a band in Morri- son named Graffiti. The music was enjoyed not only by Queens students, but several students from UNC-Charlotte, Davidson, and even Belmont- Abbey showed up as well. An informal dance was held on Sat- urday night, also in Morrison from 9-1 a.m. This was a ch- ance for boyfriends and girl- friends, or even just friends, to get together, relax and enjoy themselves after the first few weeks of classes. Sunday was supposed to be a lawn concert from 2-6 p.m., but it turned out to be a “tile concert” as IBM had to play inside of Morrison due to the weather. Fortu- nately, this slight deviation did not stop anyone from enjoying the music! Oktoberfest was a welcome break in the Fall ac- tivities, and to quote junior Lori Simmons: “I love a good party!!” Enjoying the Oktoberfest dance, Mason Britt and her date step out on the dance floor. 14 (above) Dr. Wireman escorts Tip O’Neill to Dana Auditorium where M O’Neill is about to give his public address. Tip O’Neill On December 1, 1988, Queens College was honored with the presence of Tip O’Neill on the college campus. Upon his arrival he was pre- sented to the students, faculty, and staff in Belk Chapel. A re- ception followed the presenta- tion in Morrison Dining Hall, which gave students a chance to meet and ask questions of Mr. O’Neill. Later that even- ing there was a public address in Dana Auditorium. The Learning Society of Queens College is responsible for bringing Mr. O’Neill to Queens. The Society was es- tablished by the Office of Community Affairs in 1988. There is a Student Executive Committee on campus work- ing with the Learning Society with Lachlan Collins as Chair- man. Thomas P. O’Neill, Jr. was elected the 47th Speaker of the House of Representatives in 1977. He has served under eight Presidents, and it has been said that he is “One of the strongest Speakers ever.” After arriving on campus, Mr. O’Neill was asked to give press statements.

Marriott and its crew work together to provide us several on-campus services. They spon- sor and run the cafeteria, the Hollow Grill, and the book- store. The cafeteria is the core for eating and socializing on campus. Students gather there to meet with friends or as a club. There are always three entrees available, and even the most finicky eater can appease his or her appetite with a bowl of cereal and the readily avail- able peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The Hollow Grill is the place to go when you are craving fast food and do not have the time on transportation to get off campus. It is also very handy when you are down to your last two dollars and think you can- not go another hour without a cheeseburger. Many students go to the Hollow Grill just for a change of pace and the oppor- tunity to relax in a quiet atmo- sphere and enjoy a meal. The bookstore is available for several different needs. You turn to them for assistance in buying a class ring and when standing in the very long lines each semester to buy books. It is a convenient place to drop by and get the notebook and pen you needed for classes and were too busy to get. Also available are snacks and cold drinks to grab on the way to class. Prob- ably, though, the best item the bookstore has to offer us is the card that reads: “Dear Mom... Send money!” ,vw The Hollow Grill offers a getaway for students when there is no time to leave campus to get food other than that offered in the cafeteria. M’Lou Greene and Thom Gill take a break during a slow moment at the bookstore to share a joke. Sarah Lewis and Tracy Price sit and relax in Morrison Dining Hall after dinner. mm Camera-shy Thom Gill is caught trying to hide from a camera in the bookstore. Enjoying the social part of meal time at Queens College are Michelle Wilder, Erin Gregg, Anne Irwin, and Olja Luketic. 21 New Faces - Open Houses Queens students Jennifer Garner, Leslie Owen, and Ming Ying Chan, fill part of their duties as hostesses by ac- companying their prospective students on a hayride during the October Open House. Alan Flora talks with two prospective students during registration at an Open House. Grace McWhirter, Sara Himelrick and Jane Casto make plans for their guests during dinner at the Web. Tyrus Talley is excited about being a hostess and proudly displays her Welcoming sign. The Admissions Office offers five Open Houses each year for prospective students. High School students interested in Queens come and spend time on campus and are introduced to the opportunities Queens has to offer them. Current students serve as hostesses. Each hostesses is given a prospective student to spend time with and help find where he or she is going. At four of the Open Houses, the hostesses also keep the pros- pective students overnight. This gives the students a ch- ance to experience “dorm life.” and observe the day to day ac- tivities of current students from a closer viewpoint. During the Open House a student may also have a scholar- ship interview, an admissions interview', or audition for the musical department. The students are also given an op- portunity to sit in on classes and hear teachers for themselves. At each Open House, one major activity is planned for hostesses and prospective students. These have included a guest performer, attending a drama production, and the Morrison Love Feast in December. Open Houses are designed and run by the Admissions Core, a group of select students w ho have interviewed for their positions. They keep everyth- ing running smoothly. Each Open House is planned to give prospective students a chance to see Queens from various points and observe it from all aspects. Through this, the deci- ding process may be narrowed down, and the students will have decided if Queens is the college right for them. Open House guests got a chance to meet other prospective students during the hayride. With summer at an end, everyone at Queens was cer- tainly ready to get back in full swing. As usual, everyone at ol QC likes a party, especially the Welcome Back Party! So, on August 26th from 9-1 a.m. peo- ple from all around came to the newly renovated Morrison Dining Hall to party with the See U college band. Remarks sophomore Trisha Ammar, “The Welcome Back Party is a great way to meet new students and to find out what everyone did during the summer. It kinda gets the year started off on the right foot.” HALLOWEEN PARTY! WELCOME Ghosts and goblins along with the Rockefellers came out of their hiding on October 31st at the Hal- loween Masquerade Party. From clowns to ghosts to Pippi Long- stocking, students put on their best duds and came out to impress the rest of the monsters (their friends!). Says senior Joy Plemmons, “I really liked the Hal- loween Party because it was a lot of fun to see everyone dressed up, having a good time and partying together! Freshman Scott Hand- back thought “the party was a good semester break — especially with all the tests and papers com- ing up!” Michelle Wilder, Anne Irwin, and Erin Gregg are “cool cats” at the Halloween Masquerade Party. Julie Sears and Chris Thibodeaux are having a blast at the Welcome Back Party. 24 fl ACK PARTY! HALLOWEEN PARTY! Smile Robin, it’s Halloween!

CHRISTMAS FUN The Christmas Formal Week- end is one of the most festive traditions at Queens College. This year was certainly no dif- ferent as the students and fac- ulty kicked off the holiday spirit with music and celebra- tion. On Friday, December 2, an exciting new band, The Big Kids, from Greensboro, NC played in Morrison Dining Hall. During their perform- ance, the students of Queens College participated in a staged murder game. Throughout the party, several clues were given as students attempted to dis- cover who the murderer was and what the motive was. Saturday, December 3, began with the traditional tree trim in Burwell Hall. And then, high- lighting the Christmas fes- tivities of the weekend, the Casino Party took place Satur- day night in Burwell Hall as well. The black tie occasion was filled with excitement as students and their dates bet chips on various games such as Black Jack and the Roulette Wheel. At the end of the party, prizes were auctioned off to the people willing to bid the highest amount of chips. Christmas Formal Weekend not only brings in the holiday season with style and celebra- tion but is always a great ten- sion reliever as students pre- pare for the last two weeks of classes and final exams. It is a tradition that will live forever in the memories of all Queens College Students. Students gather each Christmas to bring themselves good luck for the coming year by touching holly to the Yule log and throwing it into the flame. “Jingle bells, jingle bells...” Christmas carolers sing as they gather around the Christmas tree during its annual light- ing ceremony. Jennifer Wood, Lori Simmons, Cathy Mitchell, Christie Madren, Melissa Wood, Chris Wesolowski and Michelle Mclntire wait patiently for the Boar’s Head festivities held on Wednesday night to begin. 26 Casino Party A Night of Cards and Chips Dawn Carfagna, Sarah West, and Amy Tate take a break with their dates be- fore going to the Casino Party.

The play “Vanities” by Jack Heifner was performed first and “Spoon River Anthology,” based on the book by Edgar Lee Masters, soon followed. “Vanities” consisted of three characters: Joanne, played by Tracy Terrell, Kathy, por- trayed by Sally Wheeler, and Mary, characterized by Katie Downey. The play takes place over a span of eleven years, from fall 1963 to summer, 1974. Joanne, Kathy, and Mary grow and mature from three high school cheerleaders, always 30 D’Lights Drama together and very much alike, to three grown women leading very different lives. “Spoon River Anthology” is a play of collected epitaphs from former residents of Spoon River, Illinois. The cast consis- ted of a variety of people, in- cluding Queens students Doug Andrew, Rhonda Ball, Leigh Fiser, Elise Hermann, Cherie Thompson, and Beth Worley. The cast portrayed the former residents and shared with one another and the audience their views on various issues and the problems they encountered during their lives in Spoon River. Queens student Beth Worley delivers an epitaph during the Fall Drama Pro- duction as Leigh Fiser applauds in the background. The Queens College Players pe formed Spoon River Anthology f the fall drama production.

Dr. Henry Kissinger Henry Kissinger first met with Mrs. Clyda Rent and members of t Learning Society in Burwell parlo On March 13, 1989, the Queens College Community was honored with the visit of Henry Kissinger. Dr. Kissinger was a former Secretary of State and he now heads his own international consulting firm. Dr. Kissinger was presented to the students, faculty, and staff in Belk Chapel and afterwards he met with students at an informal reception. That evening the Nobel Prize Winner spoke at a Public Address open to any person from the Charlotte area with a ticket. Queens benefitted greatly from having such a well respected person upon the campus. After arriving Dr. Kissinger found his way around campus with the help of members of the Learning Society. Dr. Kissinger acquired a following of students, faculty, and executives while on campus. Dr. Kissinger and his assistant awaited the time for his public address in a room back-stage. iZC UF A delicious meal was planned for Dr. Kissinger in the Morrison Dining Hall. above: Dr. Kissinger addressed attentive students and faculty in Belk Chapel during an informal question answer session.

Introductions were made by Dr. Wil- liam Thompson, the chairman of the In- ternational Symposium. As Director of the International Experience program, he led a team of faculty and students last May on an Asian tour, the focus of which was Korea and Han Nam University. Ms. Carla DuPuy, Chairwoman of the Meck- lenberg County Commission, gave the proclamation. Dr. Won Sul Lee gave the keynote ad- dress, “America and the Pacific Basin: 2000 and Beyond.” Dr. Lee is President of Han Nam University in Taejon, Korea, Queen’s sister school. He is a historian and writer, having published ten books, more than half of them in English. For several years he wrote weekly columns for the Korea Herald. He has taught history in Korea, America and Belgium. The second speaker was Dr. Eckart E. Goette, who gave a response on “The European Perspective.” A native of Ham- burg, West Germany, Dr. Goette was ap- pointed Honorary German Consul for North Carolina in 1980 by the Federal Re- public of Germany. He heads Goette In- terconsult, Inc., an international consult- ing firm. Queens President Billy O. Wireman spoke on “The American Perspective.” Dr. Wireman visits various Asian coun- tries annually. He also has been instru- mental in setting up the International Ex- perience Program at Queens. Dr. La Key-young is Dean of University Planning at Han Nam University. He was educated in Seoul, Korea, and at Temple University in Philadelphia. His field of expertise is economics.

Wireman. 41 QC Players Tracy Terrell and Sally Wheeler aren’t too excited in this scene as trainer Adrienne McCormick urges them on. Unaware of each other, Mary (Katie Downey) laments to her friend (Sally Wheeler) about her husband’s infidelity, which comes in the form of a character played by Mary Virgina Covington. This is a typical scene of women’s cattiness and a desire for gossip. This hilarious bath scene is carried out by QC Players Kim McCarty and Rhonda Ball. Lamenting her past husbands, Rhonda Ball groans to her maid about love. After the baby is born to a character played by Jennifer Gardner, the nurse (Melissa Black) straightens the bed as a friend (I racy Terrell) comes to see the little one. } QC Players in THE WOME N This funny scene is of a typical hairdressing appointment for the character played by Rhonda Ball. Over fifty years ago (1936) THE WOMEN, Clare Boothe Luce’s satire on idle rich “ladies,” opened on Broadway. The play was a smash, not only in New York, but throughout its tour of the U.S. and 18 foreign countries and its 1939 adapation into a film starring Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford and many others, as well as a lesser known 1936 film version entitled THE OPPOSITE SEX with June Allyson, Rosalind Russell, Joan Collins (!), etc. It has enjoyed many regional theatre productions ever since, including a wonderful Queens College rendition over 20 years ago, directed by Charles O. Hadley. A satire even at its 1936 debut, THE WOMEN in 1989 does not seek to espouse but rather reveal not only the problems these females create for themselves and one another but also the cattiness, shallowness and deviousness resorted to by women whose economic and emotional lives are generally dependent on how successfully they can manipulate men who too frequently hold them in thrall — not a pretty or admirable situation for either gender to inhabit. THE WOMEN, performed by the Queens Players as the spring drama production, made everyone laugh as well as cry as they portrayed events experienced by every watcher at some point in his or her life. Celebration of Spring Around the world, May Day has long been a celebrated event. The origin of May Day and the May pole can be traced to prehistoric times when there was a celebration in honor of the changing seasons. At Queens, May Day is used to celebrate spring and in order to recognize the May Court and Queen that are chosen by the student body. The large weekend began on Thursday with a concert in Morrison Dining Hall. Friday evening entertainer Greg Hill performed, also in Morrison. A movie premier followed as students gathered in Blair Student Union to watch “Cocktail.” On Saturday morning the Queens Community began a new May Day tradition. In order to involve the men on campus, each class chose a male representative to present their flowers. The May Day presentation was made more formal and Sunday dress was required of viewers. Saturday night the formal was held for the first time in Morrison Dining Hall. Blue, green, and yellow balloons filled the area as the crowd danced to “Larry Whitaker and Spellbound.” May Day Weekend came to a close on Sunday with a lawn concert by IBM. Old traditions continued and new traditions only beginning helped make May Day a spectacular weekend for all. Jennifer Barefoot and her date enjoy the lawn concert. Melissa Holloman, Caroline Caton, Ella Atkinson, Sarah Taylor and Wendy Harrison are dancing on tables at the Friday concert. Beth Barber and her date enjoy the sunshine at the lawn concert.

The Mark of the Seniors This year’s senior class set out with the same objective as any other senior class, which is to leave its mark on Queens history. But unlike other classes, this year’s seniors started early — very early — 5 a.m. to be exact! Early that fateful Tuesday morning of Senior Recognition Day the seniors carried out the Senior Strike which consisted of newspapering faculty offices, toilet papering the academic quad and Billy O’s office, and the piece de resistance, the ransoming of the library. At 6 a.m. the seniors, having re- grouped, decided to be helpful and gave the entire campus (excluding Wallace because of too many stairs) its official wake-up call which included pots and pans banging against walls and doors being thrown open revealing sleepy inhab- itants (one of the most memor- able being Alan Flora and hi teddy bear!). It was only afte the actual convocation and th payment of the ransom tha the library with all the book and one cleaning lady were re leased to Billy O and the rest o the campus.

The issues then were: “Who’s going to Davidson?”, “Have you studied for the Humes test yet?”, “Can I borrow your car?”, and “Who has a fake I.D.?” It seems like only yesterday that we were freshmen. Now it’s only one more year until we graduate. As Juniors, we are buckling down on our classes for our majors and minors. We begin to make contacts with future employers for internships or interviews for the real thing. We are looking forward to the day we graduate in May, 1990, as we set off in a new decade. We begin to pull together all of our pasts to form our future. Yes, Junior year in college is a year for preparing to embark on the journey of “life in the real world.” We, the Junior class, have the most united spirit for Queens College than many in years past and future. We have pulled together on many occasions to gather ideas for campus activities such as booking bands to play on campus, planning Parents’ Weekend and helping out on Senior Recognition Day. Our class officers have sparked the leadership and motivation for many of these activities. We congregated from all over the United States as freshmen who were unsur what path to take througl college. As we prepare to leave Queens, we begin to notice the communicators actors, musicians, nurses, historians and business people of our class. We ha come a long way and are prepared to take the last s as Seniors before going ot on our own. Suddenly, in August, IS the issues have become: I “Have you started your resume?”, “Have you gone for your interview yet?”, “Are you going to Grad School?”, and now that w« are of age, “Let’s go to th( bar for a drink.” 64 Far Left: Soccer players Laura Green and Sarah Lewis find the energy to joke around after a tough game.

Horne Melissa Carol Howard Sophomore Slump — Will It Ever End? A friend of mine called her parents last night. She was sobbing, wondering why this year was going so wrong. “I study so hard and put so much into everything I do, but this year I don’t seem to be getting anything back,” she said brokenly through her tears. Unfortunately, she’s not the only Queens College sopho- more feeling this way. There’s an epidemic sweeping the campus that seems to only af- fect sophomores. It’s called “The Sophomore Slump.” Even though Katie Downey, a sophomore from Winter Haven, FI., claims that she “didn’t know others were going through it too,” others definitely are experiencing this slump. The symptoms are easy: You walk around as if in a fog because there is so much to do and you have no idea where to begin; your back hurts because it seems like the whole world is on your shoul- ders; and when you look in the mirror all that you see are puffy eyes from the endless all- nighters. The cures? Well, as Maritza Rowan stated empa- thetically, “There are no cures.” Although Tammy Allred thinks that this strange sopho- more phenomenon is unex- plainable, most sophomores agree with Wendy Phillips, who said that the reason this slump hits the sophomores hardest is because, “when you’re a sophomore, you are so concerned about your major and if this school is right for you or if a different school will get you a better job.” Some sophomores think that this year is so hard because sopho- mores are trying to find things to put on a resume. Another reason is that most sophomores are finishing up the harder DR’s that were put off from freshman year, while at the same time becoming more in- volved in their major course work and more extracurricu- lar activities. Luckily for some and unfor- tunately for others, this slump seems to hit others harder than it hits some. While Debi Hart believes that hers will go away as long as she keeps “eating more and smoking more,’1 Sarah Taylor, a sophomore from West Palm Beach, FI., be- lieves that something more drastic is in order: “I’m ready to change my major or drop out of college and go to cook- ing school in California.” But sophomores, don’t panic. Maybe there is a cure, Andrea Benfield thinks that the key to a peaceful night’s sleep is to “quit procrastinat- ing, or maybe it’s something that we just have to grow oui of.” If growing up is the only way out of this, then you’ve goi a long road ahead of you if yoi feel like Pam Slagle who ad mits, “I don’t want to grow Debi Hart, Katie Downey and Susan Shuping try to find an escape from their hectic schedules with cigarettes, music and lounging on second floor Belk. Ice skating is one way to forget about the work, so that’s exactly what Nancy Becherer, Kelly Caudle, Maritza Rowan and Susan Perry do. Caroline Caton’s only relief is her beach chair and a cold drink. ■ maam Jennifer Ann Hyder Isshaela Dawn Ingham Lisa Grimstad Lee Romona Paige Lewis Amy Dare Lohr Vicki Long Christine Davis Madren Kim Marguerite Matthews Kimberly Dawn McCarty Adrienne Lee McCormick Andrea Marie McCrary Michelle Jeanne Mclntire Porter Mixon Melinda Lynette Monroe Jennifer Sue Morton Bernadette Catherine O'Connell Jennifer Burke, Carla Morefield, and Claudia Zarzar take a study break outside of Wallace Dorm.

I International Friends “Will you repeat that?” “What is this” “Where do we queue?” Malaysian, Pakistani, Yugosla- vian and Peruvian voices rose above the din of other inquisit- ive freshmen as five foreign students took their places in the class of 1992. Besides adjusting to the usual freshmen problems of home- sickness, meeting new people, and living in a dorm with stran- gers, these international students also had to cope with a completely foreign culture. For some, coming to a for- eign country was not a strange A birthday party in honor of Amy Fisher is shared with Sandra Lane and Uzma Alam. idea. Ivy Lim and Ming Ying Chan were among many Mal- aysians who studied overseas. They had friends in Australia, Singapore, Canada, England, and around the United States. They were warned about nearly every problem they would encounter. Even though they faced many adjustments, most for- eign students found that their interests were similiar to those of American students. Cultures and languages differed greatly, but foreign students discove- red that people from anywhere in the world can become friends and enjoy different cul- tures.

Venture To Fun Life The college classics — popcorn, pizza, Wednesday, Thursday, Fri- day (you get the picture) Nights on the town, and rowdy dorm life — were not neglected because of homework, papers and exams. In fact, study breaks were essential to success. During evenings of intense study and confinement in the room or library, most freshmen de- cided to take a break. After resting brains spinning with facts, students returned to the books with renewed concentration. These breaks were especially im- portant to freshmen, who had to adapt to college level work. Simple intermissions usually in- volved popcorn and pizza parties or going out for fast food. More elaborate plans ranged from classi- cal concerts to rock-n-roll. Many freshmen took time to enjoy sym- phonies, brass concerts, and re- citals. Several popular groups hit Charlotte in concert — I NXS, Def Leppard, Prince, Van Halen, and Amy Grant. Dance clubs were hopping on college nights. The Pterodactyl was especially popular. Featured stars such as Joan Jett drew' crowds to the clubs, while movies and shopping malls were calmer respites from the storm of college life. Weekends featured a distinct routine. The majority of freshmen joined the exodus on Friday after- noons; home, beach, or friends’ homes were typical destinations. Guests at Queens were visible — parents, friends, and relatives checked out the scene and checked up on little Johnny or Susie. Those w ho were on campus saw- movies in Blair, enjoyed parties such as Welcome Back and Okto- berfest, or ventured into Charlotte or the inevitable Davidson with friends. Even though books kept everyone busy, freshmen made time for fun and relaxation in their schedules. The variety ot leisure time activities permitted freshmen to experience all aspects of college life beyond classes, books and work. Birthday parties were special study breaks in the freshman dorm. Ming Ying Chan and Cindy Gilmer share a joke at one party. Looks Like Home One of the most fascinating parts of living in a dorm was enjoying the dec- orations. With over one hundred per- sonalities in one building, it was never dull or dreary. Most rooms were comfortably clut- tered with refrigerators, stereos, micro- waves, T.V.’s, phones, small tables, and trunks. Beds were often cluttered with pillows of all shapes and sizes and enough stuffed animals to stock a zoo. For variety, roommates rarely matched sheets and bedspreads, although some rooms used a consistent color scheme for a striking effect. Plastering the bare white walls began with the basics: posters, photos, and postcards. These included not only the usual rock groups and guys or girls, but momentos from vacations and friends around the world. Martha Ann Spurill and Carmen Helton, fans of Spain, covered nearly every inch of their rooms with Spanish souvenirs. Flags also added an inter- With “Soap Opera Digest” in hand, Laura Peters, Merrill Boykin, Amy Fisher and Donna Taylor are ready to catch up on their favorite afternoon soaps. national look to rooms. In several rooms pennants and ban- ners from universities added variety. Beach towels brightened dreary cor- ners while paintings and other art con- tributed to a sophisticated touch. Through the year, space was filled with notes and drawings from room- mates and “big sisters.” These not only brightened the day, but spiced up the room for the rest of the year. Many begged parents and friends at home for postcards and anything else to decorate with. As the walls were covered, trinkets accumulated on shelves, desks and dressers. Mugs, figurines, stuffed ani- mals, and even aquariums made their way into rooms. The outside of a door gave a preview of the room’s character. Message boards, notes, pictures, just about everything welcomed visitors. Although dorm rooms often seemed confining, the unusual decorations and furnishings gave each room a unique identity. With continual additions, the dorm gradually began to look like home. Cheerfully assisting a student in the lib- rary is Tyrus Talley.

I have a paper due at 8 a.m.!” “What am I going to do?” “Let’s order pizza!!!” The homesick, overworked, exhausted freshmen had op- portunities to relax, eat, go out with a group and learn to sur- vive in a dorm through ac- tivities organized by RA’s and RC’s. Beginning during Orienta- tion, hall meetings helped freshmen residents get to know each other, learn the various systems, and get settled into their rooms. A hall meeting and a special session were devoted Song and dance are part of the party. R: Donna Taylor, Laura Peters, Monica Gresham, and Michelle Maples. to learning to be friends with a roommate. For special study breaks, the halls had pizza parties and dis- cussed future parties for tie- dying, among others. Off campus outings were also offered. In September a group saw “The Passion Play” at Heri- tage, U.S.A. and went to Pizza Hut afterwards. RC Cindy Gilmer organized the trip as a chance for freshmen to become acquainted with the others. Hall and dorm activities brightened freshmen’s even- ings — just taking a break from studying to enjoy time with friends. Some roommates are able to develop good friendships.

Stephen Cloniger Linda Figiel Sally Huhn Effie Koinis go, Billy O.” We at the ARETE will now pat ourselves on the back for not using a single one of these dumb jokes in this art- icle. The administration is made up of a group of people who are either masochistic to the extreme or very tolerant. Year after year they hear our com- plaints and demands and still have the heart to help us out every time. You’d think they’c get sick of running this mad house, but they stick arounc for some reason or another ($? and manage to keep thing� from falling apart.

The Technical Side Math and Computer Science are essential classes to have, not to mention distributed re- quirements. Some of us do not like the thought of having to hear things like “It’s the output, not the input of the database management system” and “Take the square root of the inverse of the function, then graph”!! Just the mere thought of this could send anyone into a stress attack. There are a few choice ones who major in these areas, and love the sound of the words, “input and output” and “cal- culus”. We have all heard how im- portant Math and Computer Science are. Just looking around campus we can see the importance of computers — word processing for everyone’s use, lottery num- bers for room assignments, and not to mention that computers keep track of our grades.

For service projects, a group went to the Ronald McDonald House, the na- tional philanthropy, in Winston-Salem and spent the day cleaning the house. The sorority went Christmas caroling around Myers Park to raise money for the Ronald McDonald house. Alpha Delta Pi started the year off with a great RUSH! Skits included PiTV - a skit which con- sisted of different popular songs with the lyrics changed to fit ADPi - and also ADPi Syndicate, about a girl leaving her mob family to join a sor- ority.

The sorority consis- ted of sixty-four active women--in the sorority as well as on the campus. Friendships were bonded through such social ac- tivities as Mountain Week- end at Pipestem, WV, and Beach Weekend in Myrtle Beach, SC. And who could forget Emerald Ball held at Marriott in the Charlotte City Center? That was one night that will always re- main in every KD’s memory! Besides these major social events, spaghetti and movie nights at the house, the Christmas Reception and the Adam and Eve party were other social events that brought everyone closer together. Mixers were an- other way of bonding to- gether as a sorority as well as meet a few guys! But Kappa Deltas didn't always socialize; there were Chuck is such a cutie! Lancey Boros’ date for Emerald Ball makes many friends such as Christie Madren and Ashley Bierig. This person is our President? Laurie Thrower shows her technique for stress relieving! many fundraisers and phil- anthropy projects finished throughout the year. Car- owinds was the place of one fundraiser as Kappa Deltas worked one day to raise money for the sorority. Time was also dedicated to philan- throphy as well as fund- raising. The Arosa House is the local philanthrophy and the Children’s Hospital for Abused Children is the na- tional philanthrophy—raffle tickets were sold to raise money for these two. Also several Kappa Deltas tu- tored a family of five under- priviledged children in their spare time. These activities not only gave sorority mem- bers a chance to get to know each other better, but to have a pride in themselves for helping others. Kappa Delta is a wonder- ful experience for each of its members. It is an organiza- tion where each person fits in and adds her ow n unique qualities to enrich the lives of every other Kappa Delta. Through the many social ac- tivities, fundraisers, and phil- anthropy projects each sister becomes a stronger member of a sorority that is aimed at helping each person become the best person they can be. |p me!

The guys became very close at the beginning of the year, and have been that way ever since. They practice hard every day for two to three hours and it is really paying off. Their first fall sea- son was very slow, but things are looking brighter for the future. There have been lots of prospectives, and the guys welcome them all with open arms and warm smiles.

While increasing their schedule these ladies won fourteen out of thirty mat- ches. Part of this success can be attributed to the newfound closeness of the players. Kristal Warren, a junior form Huntington, WV, remembers when Mary Sedgewick was hospitalized for a ruptured appendix: “Everyone just dropped everything for a couple of days to go spend the night with Mary.” Kristal Warren stops to take a breath of air. Margaret As wad, a junior from Columbia TN, believes that it was Coach Chris Eppely Baker’s enthusiasm and motivation which en- couraged high team morale and unity. Next season the team would appreciate more school spirit and encouragement from the students. There are many talented players returning along with new scholarship players. They are expecting their biggest season ever, so let’s show our pride in these special athletes. The Volleyball team in action!! 142 Watch that spike!

During the dance, Rex himself came out and a year’s worth of work had fin- ally materialized.

It’s me! And I love little children! Friendly Rex is an all-around guy. This year saw many changes for Queens, but one of the most important events was that Queens finally received a mascot. The “Queens Royals” was chosen after many long months of surveys and meet- ings. Throughout the first semes- ter, Recreation Committee Chairman Julianne Brinkman met with Coach Dale Layer to decide how to go about getting a mascot. After a few surveys, the choice was narrowed down and a forum was held in Morri- son Cafeteria as people de- fended their favorite mascot. A vote was held, and the Royals became the Queens mascot.

Here, accord- ing to USA Today’s October 12, 1988, issue, is a blow-by-blow account of Mike Tyson and Robin Given’s re- lationship. Round 1: March 1987, Givens agrees to meet Tyson at an LA restaurant, and brings her mom and sister along. Round 2: Feb. 8, 1988. After a sym- bolic Chicago church service, they wed officially in a New York civil cer- emony. Round 3: May. Tyson runs his silver Rolls off a New York City street, re- portedly while arguing with Givens. Round 4: June. Givens has a reported miscarriage. Her sister blames it on the stress of the relationship. Round 5: September. The champ smashes his BMW into a tree at his Cat- skill Mountains training camp, re- portedly suicidal because Givens won’t join him there. Round 6: Sept. 30. Givens squares off with Tyson on 20 20 TV show, calling life with him ’pure hell.’ Round 7: Oct. 2. Tyson allegedly trashes their Bernardsville, N.J., man- sion. Givens and her mother fly to LA. Round 8: Oct. 7. Givens files for div- orce. Charges and countercharges begin to fly. Since, many events have occurred and definitely will occur. Just what the outcome will be cannot be predicted. O.K. , so it’s not the most pressing world event, but it was news to us! On Dec. 1, 1988, Tip O’Neill visited the Queens campus and delighted us with accounts of his White House days. 150 (above) President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev worked for several years to bring the two countries together.

Korea (left) The stars of the 1988 summer Olympics clockwise from top: diver Greg Louganis won two gold medals; track and field star Carl Lewis won two gold and one silver; Florence Griffith Joyner won three gold and one silver; and swimmer Matt Biondi celebrated with five gold, one silver and one bronze. Democrats the GOP Make Nominations Even from the beginning, predictions were that this election would be a dogfight. The beginning is with the nominations. It was not a surprise when Vice President George Bush was the Republican presidential nominee, but the race was between Jesse Jackson and Governor Michael Dukakis for the Democratic nomination. When the Democrats went to Atlanta for the convention, much to the dismay of Jesse Jackson and his supporters, Michael Dukakis, governor of Massachusetts, was nominated for the Democratic Presidential Candidate. Dukakis proceeded to select, not Jackson but Lloyd Bentson, a senator from Texas, as his running mate. Nobody was surprised when George Bush became the Republican nominee, but almost everyone was jolted by his choice in a running mate: Dan Quayle. Quayle, a conservative 41-year old Indiana congressman, has a record that many people did not think fitting for a Vice President. At DePauw, his grades were not the best. He joined the National Guard instead of serving in Vietnam, thus he is being tagged as a “draft-dodger, ” and he has minimal executive experience. And the media is out to get him. So, the question remains how Bush’s selection will fare? Does George Bush know something about Quayle that his record does not show? But, as the old cliche goes... “Only time will tell...” 152 Summer Events SOME SIGNIFICANT (and not so significant) SUMMER HAPPEN- INGS— Left - the summer of 1988 was hit with the worst drought in many years.

Hospital waste, syringes and blood vials are found washed ashore on over fifty miles of New York beaches, forc- ing the beaches to close. Milton Berle -“Mr. Television - cele- brates his 80th birthday. The last Playboy club in America, lo- cated in Lansing, Michigan, closes down.

Thousands of seals continue to wash up dead along the northern coast of Europe. New York Congressman Mario Biag- gi is convicted of fifteen counts of felony and resigns.

The cer- emony mixed ancient Korean rituals with space-age technology. And after the sixteen day event, the USA ended up with its own dazzling spectacle: 94 medals. The USA placed third in overall medals, with the USSR collecting 1 32 for first place and Hast Germany in second with 102 medals. This was the first time in twelve years that the three countries have faced each other in the Olympics. What will he remembered of these games? Stars, Drugs. Contro- versies, and Success. Stars: From swimming star Matt Biondi w ho won seven medals, five gold, to the Romanian gymnast Saniela Silvas’ six medals — three gold. Florence Griffith-Joyner’s three gold and one silver and Greg Louganis crashing his head on the diving boards, yet sweeping both diving golds, cannot be forgotten. Drugs: Ten athletes were disqualified. Canadian Ben Johnson was disqualified after defeating USA's Carl Lewis in the 100 meters race. Consequently, Lewis got the Gold medal and USA’s Calvin Smith earned the bronze. Controversies: Predominantly in the boxing ring. When the New' Zealand official announced Bulgaria's Alexander Hristov the winner against South Korea’s Byon Jong II, a Korean trainer and others stormed the ring and physically attacked the referee. Il-Jong staged a one-hour sit in to protest the decision. Also, bribery was a possible, but unprov- able allegation in USA’s Ray Jones’ 3-2 decision loss to South Korea’s Park Si-Shun. Success: The USA men’s volleyball team won the gold and the distinction of winning the only gold medal by an official US men’s team. There were also no major problems — no disruption of events by de- monstrators, no terrorist attacks and facilities were said to be the best ever. All in all, as Carl Lewis stated: “This has been a bizarre Olympics.” ii 4 • v r v .

For the baseball lovers, the Eighty-fifth World Series was probably the main topic of conversation. The Los Angeles Dodgers captured their sixth World Series title with a 5-2 victory over the Oakland A’s in the fifth game of the series.

It is important to remember that AIDS alone can not kill; it allows other infections and diseases to invade the body. This is what kills. One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding AIDS is how AIDS is contracted. Here are the true facts: The AIDS virus is NOT spread by casual contact, but is spread by having sex with an infected person; sharing needles or syringes with infected people who use heroin, cocaine, or other intravenous drugs; if the mother has been infected with the AIDS virus, babies can be born with the virus. 157 George Bush inaugurated on January 20, 1989.

This year each staffer took special care to record the events as carefully and as acurately as possible. Many yearbook people were seen taking pictures out windows of Morrison, interviewing professors for copy, or selling mascot T-shirts. The actual pages of the yearbook were created by many people. The student life section was created at the hands of Sandra Lane, Stephanie Smith and Sabrina Anderson. The Senior section was done by Kelly Cheek; the Junior section by Erin Holleman; the Sophomore section by Lisa Bynum; the Freshman section by Christy Vance. Mike Grayson and Laura Hair completed the Academics section. Clubs Activities was divided between Candy Mayberry, Macon Uskarait, Laura Crutchfield, Allison Glaw and Amy Rowland, Editor. The Sports section was handled by Susan Paris and Suzanne Sidner. A new section, the Minimag, was in the hands of Lisa Bynum. The Ads section was taken care of by Business Editor Margie Crane and Denise Grubb. The Division pages were done by Lancey Boros, and the Opening, Closing, and Index were all done by Amy Rowland. Though the layouts are important, they could not have been completed without the help of some extra people. Photographers Alan Flora, Carmen Helton, Christy Lucas, Erin Gregg, Jill Chandler and Olja Luketic took tons of pictures. and to them the staff owes the quality of the pictures this year. Laura Green, Elizabeth Alexander, Denise Grubb, and Macon Uskarait also helped out by doing lots of articles for various sections of the book. Mr. Slater, the advisor, also was a big help in supervising and developing the 1989 ARETE. Through work, sweat, and tears the scrapbook of the 1988-89 school year has been recorded in one text: the 1989 ARETE. The ARETE Staffers, minus a few. 176 Stephanie Smith, Lisa Bynum, Christy Vance, Laura Hair, Sandra Lane, and Candy Mayberry helped design the layout of this year's book. Carmen Helton, Alan Flora, and Christy Lucas get to be in front of the camera for a change!! Editor Amy Rowland relaxes after her long year of trying to pull copy a and picture 3 together to make this year's ARETE the best! 177 Moving Ahead... The Academic Program at Queens has seen improvements during the 1989 year. Grade point averages are up and Queens has hired some wonderful new professors to begin teaching in the fall of the next year. The liberal learning program has been fine-tuned and construction is seen in Dana and McEwen Buildings as the school prepares for the new changes. But the major change that students have been able to benefit from is the International Experience. Seniors and juniors are allowed to go on one trip abroad at very low expense to the students, and sophomores and seniors and juniors who Julie Ferguson and Jacqui Sublett study around Diana on a warm spring day. have been before are allowed to go at their own expense as many times as they like, if room is available. This year three tours were available during January Term: the first was a tour of Great Britian, the second was a tour of the Great Cities, and the third was a trip to Asia. There was also one trip taken in the summer of 1988 to Russia. The tours highlighted many things such as real Russian vodka, the concentration camps, art gallerys and famous plays such as “Les Miserables.” Each one taught the students a valuable lesson in respect for another culture and the impact of history on society today. Blair Student Union’s swing makes the ideal study spot for Walter Aikens. Diana Fountain is quite often fou the center of academics. Jenny Hyder is trying to understand her studies. The college campus itself is a source of pride and beauty.

They are just a laugh a minute! The activities held on campus have increased this year, and they have been very diversified as well. On the academic side, Dr. Henry Kissinger and Mr. Tip O’Neill have both graced the campus. But many other not-so-famous people have been here as well from the Charlotte community at several forums and speeches set up by various clubs and organizations on campus. This year not only did Queens have its regular symposium, which was done this year around the Ramesses exhibit, but an International Symposium in the spring as well. On the more social side of things, in addition to the major dance weekends and Parents weekend there were welcome-back parties, a mascot party, College Union’s birthday party, a Bench Press One Dukes man sings to junior Lori Simmons as she turns red with embarrassment. Contest, an event which featured Chris Brady, intramurals and a night of laughs with the Dukes Men of Yale — just to name a few. Also movie nights, study breaks, and other food-aided activities were announced here and there to keep the students from staring at the four walls of their dorm rooms. If these activities on campus were not enough to keep everyone happy, there are off campus favorites to meet people and enjoy some time with friends: putt-putt, bowling, dollar movies, eating establishments, and even Davidson and UNCC. As seen from the preceding list of activities, the Queens campus was indeed rocking and rolling during the 1988-89 year. Queens students come out in hoardes to see the Dukes Men of Yale. 180 ■ Wendi Bryant shows her strength!

Freshmen came onto the campus and learned to live with roommates and make the friends that will support them throughout their years at Queens. Upperclassmen renewed their previously found friendships and made new' friends among the freshmen, transfers and even other upperclassmen. Males on campus were also included in the circles of friends; the segregation of males and females in the cafeteria is no longer seen. The bonds of friendship made this year will be the basis for a wonderful 1989-90 year at Queens College, just as it was the reason for the wonderful and memorable 1988-89 year that will always be cherished. Mary Helen Allen, Amy Rowland, Jennifer Wood and Beth Barber represent four generations of special friendship and devotion. To Closer Friends Belk Chapel in bloom, just as are Queens students’ lives. lEhttcr’s 3 Tate This year has held many untold memories for me: good ones and bad ones. When someone came up to me yesterday and said “Are you still working on that??,” referring to the yearbook, I had to grimly say yes. As I sat finishing my work, I had to reflect on all the things that I had gone through to create this scrapbook of events for the last year. I thought of deadlines, of stressing because my disks were bad and having to redo pages upon pages of copy, of taking pictures myself because I wanted to make sure a certain event was covered. I was not completely alone in my endeavors, however. Sandra Lane, Lisa Bynum, Erin Holleman, and Christy Vance — these four especially always came to my aid. Carmen Helton and Alan Flora, as well as Christy Lucas, all knew my voice over the phone very well and probably dreaded that phone call that said I needed pictures of an event at 8:00 the next morning. The entire ARETE staff was extra wonderful and the yearbook could not have been made without each one of them, so to each person I also extend my thanks. Mr. Slater also needs a huge round of applause for keeping me from losing my mind and keeping a check on all my grammatical mistakes. The entire computer center staff receives my undying gratitude for helping recover some of my copy, and for putting up with me as I typed for days at a time before a deadline. And I cannot forget my worst crisis. Dr. Porter deserves credit for calming me when the cover deadline was due and I thought I was going to have to draw the cover pictures myself. Scary thought! He calmed me and took me to Marbury Brown’s house. Although we interrupted his lunch, Professor Brown agreed to draw the pictures for me, after he laughed at my feeble attempts to produce them. His wonderful efforts grace the cover of the yearbook, and to him I give double thanks. Last, but not least, I have I to thank my roommate Lori| Simmons for taking all my messages from the publishei and photographers and generally calming me whenl was near hysterics, and also my boyfriend Greg Nicholsl who was often abandoned a] functions as I traipsed off t take pictures. This year’s ARETE is a product of many people’s sweat, tears, and laughter, well as creativity, and I proudly say that it exceeds my expectations for capturing the joys and trials of the 1988-89 school year.
