defining a sec A- c ami Monday nights, the girls of the Alpha Delta Kappa .holarship house gathered around the television to see hat the residents of Melrose Place would be into next. Many of them, like the house president, Naeemah lark, had homework in hand. Distractions were non-stop with 17 girls living under ne roof; the incessent ring of the telephone and constant 3w of people in and out of the house made concentrating n the television difficult. With 16 other girls here, there ' s always someone to Ik to, treasurer Christy Tutt said. It was Clark ' s fourth year living in a Southern :holarship Foundation home. The foundation offered housing to students with nancial need, adequate grades, and good character i ferences. The Alpha Delta Kappa house, sponsored by the rofessional teachers ' fraternity, was a new addition to ie foundation ' s other houses just off campus in fall of m. Besides watching Melrose Place , the girls participated i many other activities together. Each shared in doing her part to contribute to what Clark described as a nice family atmosphere. Cooking meals four nights a week and biweekly chores were shared by all of the house residents. As president, it was Clark ' s job to define, assign and check all of the work jobs. Clark was also responsible for maintaining the overall attitude of the house. Clark created signs to encourage the the girls to participate in activities such as socials and community service projects sponsored by the foundation. Signs also reminded them of quiet hours and laundry times. Other positions such as business managers, treasurer and secretary were created to make the house run smoothly. The way everyone is organized and always around is nice; it makes me feel at home, said first-year resident, Michele Brusnan. Although most of the houses on the hill are open for the summer, Alpha Delta Kappa was among those houses that closed for the summer. At the end of the spring semester, the ladies of the Alpha Delta House found their family dispersed whether it be some graduated, move to other scholarship houses or went home for the summer. photo by Richard Johnson by betsy tallon New to the campus this year is the Alpha Delta Kappa Scholarship House.

Jefining th lthough the name Seminoles has been synonymous b Florida State University for 47 years, many students not know the history behind the Seminole Tribe of rida and how it began its association with Florida State versity. rhe word Seminole means untamed, nothing can hold m back, wrote Tribal Chief James H. Billie in an open er to Seminoles as well as those who dispute the use he Seminole Indian as mascot of the university. The Seminole Indians are very highly regarded as se who can go anywhere and survive under any iditions. rhe Seminole Tribe of Florida is overseen by Tribal lirman Chief Billie and Tribal President Fred Smith, rhe Seminole tribe consists of about 2500 people living ive reservations in southern Florida named or located 3righton, Big Cypress, Hollywood, Immokale, and lpa. Each Reservation has a tribal representative, who idles the people aspects of the tribe, and a board resentative, who handles the business aspect of the e. Representatives from the five tribes meet periodically as the Tribal Counsel and the Board of Directors to discuss problems or future business ventures. The use of the Seminole name dates back to 1947 when the Florida State College for Women officially became the Florida State University. The coeducational atmosphere of the newly named institution brought the return of men ' s athletics and with it and a new mascot, the Seminoles. The name Seminoles was chosen in a campus wide contest that elicited student entries such as Crackers, Statesman, Polly-Wogs, Sunshiners, and Swamprats. Over the years, other aspects of university life have utilized association with the Seminole name to include the war chant, Male and Lady Scalp hunters, the Marching Chiefs, Burning Spear, and the Seminole Reservation, which was previously known as Camp Flastacowo. Chief Osceloa and Renegade, the most popular and recognizable mascot in college athletics also utilized the Seminole name. Envisioned by alumni Bill Durham, the mascot consisted of a Seminole Warrior riding a horse to the middle of the field to signify the start of another game.
