FURMAN ... The Step To EXCELLENCE Choosing Furman meant taking that extra step above the level of mediocrity. It meant a commitment to the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of life. At Furman, students were challenged to become better than average through both rigorous academics and opportunities to become involved in the diverse array of extracurricular activities. Being a relatively small, liberal arts university, Furman offered the personal touch and opportunities to pursue excellence and in-volveness that could not be found at the larger universities. The close contact among students and faculty enhanced the college experience for all involved. Furman had a reputation of excellence from the start with both faculty and students being nationally recognized. In recent years. Furman has produced high achievers who have brought prestige and national recognition to Furman. The sincere interest of the faculty in promoting student achievement can be seen in the long hours they spend counseling. advising, and preparing themselves for the classroom. When not working with the students, the faculty continued to grow and learn, promoting their own excellence through intensive research and study. Three books by Furman professors have recently been published. Learning to use SPSSX by Drs. Gilles 0. Einstein and Elaine C. Nocks, An Introduction to Psychology of Religion by Dr. Robert W. Crapps. and Revelation and Faith by Dr. Therin Prince. Aside from academics, Furman offered many opportunities for students to further develop into a well rounded adult. There were opportunities to become involved in music, fraternities and social clubs, community service, faculty guided research, and many other organizations and social and cultural opportunities. For those who chose to take their step to excellence yet one step further there was involvement in the R.O.T.C. program and the chance to observe another nation first hand through foreign study. The step to excellence at Furman is only a beginning. As the senior year drew to a close, students realized that the commitment they made to excellence in choosing Furman was a stepping-stone to career excellence after graduation. Unlike their competitors. Furman students were well rounded individuals with a strong academic and social background. They possessed the drive and ability to go that extra mile in their pursuit for excellence. 2 OPENING OPENINGS STUDENT LIFE For many Furman students, the true liberal artaedu-cation was not wholly experienced � n the classroom, but rather through outside activities, which provided an outlet for the students' Inhibitions. Although students were serious about studying, nearty all of the students were Involved with some type of extracurricular organization. Most of the student life on campus was centered around events that were sponsored by the school. Homecoming and Parents’ Weekend were among the more traditional events. During Homecoming weekend, fraternities, social dubs, and other organizations participated in a spirit contest and worked funously on floats and banners as they competed for the spirit trophy. Furman University Student Activities Board. Association of Furman Students, and Student Services also worked to promote student life by bringing concerts and dances to campus. The off campus student life was mostly provided by fraternities and social clubs. One of the most popular events that fraternities, social clubs, and other extracurricular organizations sponsored is Beach Weekend or House Party Beach Weekend was a chance for overy-one to get away from the pressures ol dally life and just relax with friends Those who were not Involved with extracurricular organizations may turn to Greenville for entertainment in dubs, shops, cinemas, and restaurants In the Greenville community. The combinations of these aspects of student life served es the key to the development of well rounded individuals as well as the development of relationships that would last forever. ♦'STUDCWT UFE MOST.

Beginning a college career affords students the opportunity to explore new horizons. The class of 1991 embarked on their Furman Adventure on Wednesday. Oct. 9 when they moved into their dorms. The day included meeting roommates. surtemates. Resident Assistants, and Freshmen Advisors, saying goodbye to parents, and beginning the schedule of meetings which would fill the next several days. One of the first steps in the student’s journey was the welcoming speech given by Dr. Johns. The students continued their progress by taking placement tests and attending meetings with advisors. Social events such as the R.O.T.C. sponsored ice cream social. Simon Sez. the square dance, the midnight serenade, the President's Reception, and the FUSAB dance allowed students to meet other members of their class and to explore some of the available clubs and groups on campus. Eden Isbell said she enjoyed the square dance. Robert Page said. I literally wore out my shoes dancing at the square dance.” Cameron Crapps said. I loved the midnight serenade. Lori Wyndham liked her Dialogue group where she had the opportunity to meet and become friends with other students in her class. For students such as Jennifer Killiam. registration made the greatest impression. Jennifer said. It was not as bad as I had expected. Freshmen Orientation itself was an adventure as Freshmen struggled to learn a new campus and a new lifestyle. They started forging a new path as they participated in Orientation; however, the work did not end with Orientation. Upon the completion of Orientation Week. Freshmen finding that they had survived registration, were now ready to begin the true adventure: the next four years of college and the rest of their lives.

By plane, R.V., station wagon, and rental car. parents flocked to Furman's campus for Parents' Weekend 1987. The weekend was packed with activities for parents and students beginning on Thursday night. October 8th. and ending on Sunday. October 11th. Among the events parents and students could participate in included: golf and tennis tournaments, a Band Extravaganza, a faculty reception, Faculty seminars, pre-game drop-ins, the football game, and the Phi Mu Alpha Talent Showcase. Parents were also invited to attend classes with their students on Friday to see how difficult a day at Furman really can be. One of the many highlights of Parents' Weekend was the football game against Marshall's Thundering Herd. Parents showed as much enthusiasm as students while cheering the Paladins to victory. Parents also enjoyed meeting their sons and daughters friends. Students seemed to appreciate the homemade goodies their mothers brought for them. Many students enjoyed a shopping trip with their parents and dinner in a restaurant. For the parents, however, lunch in the Daniel Dining Hall was a special treat. All of the students on the Dining Hall staff were required to work lunch on Saturday to accommodate the large number of parents who wanted to try Furman's famous fried chicken and mashed potatoes. There were mixed feelings on Sunday as the parents were leaving. Some students sympathized with Tracy Hulsey who said, It was great to see Mom and Dad ... I really missed them. Others agreed with a student who was ready to regain her independence. She remarked, It was very annoying spending every minute of the day with my parents. No matter how far parents had to come to get to Furman, or how they got here, Parents' Weekend was worth the trip. Not only did they enjoy seeing their sons and daughters, but they enjoyed experiencing Furman life firsthand.

REACH THE BEACH What did spring, warm weather, and sunshine mean to Furman students? For many, it meant House Party, and when warm weather rolled around after a cold, snowy winter. Furman students headed for the beach. Some students who made the trip to Myrtle Beach went with social clubs and fraternities that were having the final group function of the year before exams. House Party gave these groups of sisters and brothers the opportunity to socialize in a different and relaxing environment. Beach weekend was also enjoyed by students who went in their own independent groups. Most people arrived at the beach on Friday. It was raining, and some people were a little discouraged, noted Emily Huggins. But Saturday, it was beautiful. And Furman students took advantage of the good weather. Some swam in the surf, some sunbathed, and others threw frisbee or played football on the sand. As one student remarked. “We took over the beach. In the evening, a few groups had organized events. The Brothers in Eternity held a poolside dance at their hotel on Friday night. The brothers of Phi Mu Alpha sang on Saturday night, and the Centaurs had cookouts on both nights. Students also frequented favorite places such as Crazy Zack’s, the amusement park, and some of the many seafood restaurants nearby. Whatever students chose to do at the beach, beach weekend was a wonderful getaway from the daily routine of books, tests, and other school concerns. The weekend allowed students to take a long awaited break before the rigor of final exams. Students delighted in the sunshine, sand, and surf on the beach, as well as being with their friends. The fun and relaxation of the beach weekend left long-lasting impressions and enduring memories in the minds of many Furman students.

Work on the floats continued through Friday night and into Saturday morning. At the Furman vs. Appalachian State football game. Dr. Johns announced the winners of the spirit competition: Cygnus and Chios won first place. Vida and Sigs placed second, and Phi Mu Alpha Symphonia and the band won third place. Also, the parents of senior football players were introduced at the game. The homecoming representatives were introduced at the game: Heather Meeks represented the Freshman class. Stacy Regester represented the Sophomore class, and Caroline Brim represented the Junior class. Senior representatives were Sue Campbell. Anne Cherry. Laura Watkins, and Lisa Kennedy. Dr. Johns crowned Lisa Kennedy homecoming queen. Students celebrated their Paladin pride at the homecoming dance in the dining hall to the music of The Mirrors, a band from Charlotte. The alumni dance was held at the Hyatt-Regency. Overall homecoming was a tremendous success because of the great support by the various campus organizations.

Htxtter Muon COPING WITH THE INEVITABLE TRUTH What single activity took up most of a Furman student’s time and energy? Despite activities such as sports, parties, dances, and just socializing, or simply enjoying the beautiful surroundings of the Furman campus, students found that they must inevitably return to their books. And when they did. Furman students employed a variety of methods of studying. Some students found that listening in class and reviewing notes daily was an effective way of studying. Keeping up with reading assignments was also helpful; however, many students discover that this was not always possible, and found themselves up late or even all night before a test, practicing the familiar art of ■'cramming” before a test. Students also chose different places to study. The library, student center, empty classrooms, dorm rooms, and outside by the lake or under a tree were popular choices. One student remarked that she found the upper floors of the library to be a place where she could study most effectively because “there are fewer distractions.” Some students studied in the morning hours in the dining hall. One student recommends taking a lot of breaks when studying, while another insists that she takes breaks from other activities to study. Liz Aurilio. a sophomore and music major, found that she studied best in “the music building, in the practice rooms, in the girls' dorms, or in the parlors.” No matter where students chose to study, and whether they liked or dreaded doing so. studying remained one of the main components of a Furman student's life. Tracey Hilton Some students isolate themselves in order to keep their minds on studying. STUDENT LIFE 19 DIFFERENT WAYS TO WORSHIP Interested students found a variety of ways to worship on campus. Opportunities for fellowship were available to students of different faiths. At 11:00 AM on Sunday mornings, students could worship in Burgiss Lounge in services led by the university chaplains, faculty members, and students. The students that led the service were assigned through Church-Related Vocations. These students would plan the service, choosing hymns and responsive readings. One of the chaplains, usually either Dr. Vic Greene or Dr. Jim Pitts would then deliver a message. All offerings collected were given to the Chaplains' Fund to be used to aid students and others on campus in financial need because of crises. Students were also able to go off campus to worship. Many Greenville area churches provided transportation for students who wished to attend their services, picking the students up m vans from the front of Judson. The students could also take part in other of the church-related activities, such as special dinners. Groups of different religious denominations found counseling from volunteer chaplains. The chaplains were of various persuasions: Assembly of God. Baptist. Episcopal. Greek Orthodox. Jewish. Lutheran. Methodist. Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic. The volunteer chaplains worked with the university chaplains and led their denominational groups. Outside of worship services, various groups existed on campus and provided fellowship for students. These religious organizations were: Assembly of God. Baptist Student Union. Church-Related Vocations. Episcopal Fellowship. Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Furman University Gospel Ensemble. Furman University Hunger Alliance. Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. Jewish Student Association. Lutheran Student Association. Newman Apostolate. Greek Orthodox Christian Fellowship. Wesley Foundation. Westminster Fellowship. Worldwide Discipleship Association, and Young Life. In addition to providing fellowship for students with such activities as an FCA hayride or retreats, the religious organizations provided service to the outside community, such as that provided by the Furman University Hunger Alliance. The Religious Council was made up of representatives from each of the groups, the secretary of religious affairs for the Association of Furman Students and the chaplains. Singing is always a highlight of F.C.A. The combination of Christian Fellowship and a friendly atmosphere make F.C.A. very popular. Has Star Trek come to Furman?

Fellowship of Christian Athletes bible study allows these girls to grow in Christian fellowship on a more personal basis. STUDENT LIFE 21 HOME AWAY FROM HOME Had you ever wondered what it was like to live off campus? It was what every freshman and the majority of sophomores dreamed about. For girls, it meant no more card accesses, dorm rules, closed dorms, unreasonable and unpredictable dorm temperatures, and no more long trips to the ice machines or washers and dryers! For guys, it meant the availability of ice. better parking, trees to climb. Toucan to ride on, and no more perpetual, obnoxious guys running around the dorms! For both sexes, living off campus meant more freedom, a deeper sense of responsibility. more space, privacy and even cable t.v.! There were several options offered to those considering off campus residence. Courtridge, the closest and most expensive, was furnished and had a washer and dryer. Woodwinds and La Vista were the least expensive. In addition, they both had tennis courts. La Vista. Furman Place, and Montague Place were two story apartments. With advantages like these, who could blame upperclassmen for moving off campus to enjoy the more relaxed and comfortable lifestyle? Ansley Jones Courtridge is the home to many Furman students. The pool in the center ot the complex is only one of it's biggest advantages. 22 STUDENT LIFE t'JLl fXXKrrrrrd Rich Brown and Chris Atwell enjoy relaxing around there La Vista apartment on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Living off campus has many advantages. One of the best is having your own kitchen - no more dining hall. Home away from home in deluxe style. No. not all apartments are this luxurious.

Reggie Sagebien and Pat Mahoney are forever In search of the perfect wave. 24 STUDENT LIFE SNOWDAYS No phenomenon, natural or otherwise, can produce an effect comparable to that which snow has on otherwise normal human beings. On January seventh the Furman community provided a living example which proved undeniably the level to which students and others may be reduced in the presence of that white form of precipitation. The excitement began in the early morning of the seventh. as students defied all laws of nature and alarm clocks to herald in the arrival of the snow, much to the appreciation of their sleepy-eyed dorm neighbors. After a strenuous two days of winter term, students and faculty alike enjoyed a much deserved day of cancelled classes. The snow was paid due respect by the many Es-kimoes who battled their way through missiles of balled ice to reach the dining hall, slid their way down the soccer field hill on the cardboard and plastic bags (dining hall trays were unavailable for the purpose), and mastered new culinary skills with their recipes for snow cream. A second relaxing day of cancelled classes was accepted without excessive protest by both students and faculty mem- bers; but when the weekend arrived with a mantle of white, even native Floridians admitted that the novelty of crunching and sliding around campus was beginning to wear off and northern students groaned that they had migrated south only to land in Siberia In South Carolina. By Monday morning the cabin-bound of Furman returned to class on the ice covered roads and sidewalks, but the snow lingered behind as a reminder of the blizzard of winter term.

SNOWBOUND 88 27 IT’S A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE It may be difficult to believe that a cultural mecca is situated in South Carolina, but in a small cove, hidden from the highway by a buffer of trees, such a place does exist. While Furman is hardly a cosmopolitan institution on the cutting edge of nouveau art movements, the cultural levels achieved through Furman's dedication to a well-rounded education is unparalled. The Furman-Greenville Fine Arts Series is sponsored jointly by the University and Greenville citizens and through their efforts, students may attend lectures, concerts, plays, recitals, art exhibits, and other cultural events. The recently erected Poe Art Building houses exhibits by Furman students as well as touring exhibits by well known artists. The Furman Theatre Guild presents four or five plays a year in the play house, a theatre in the round. The plays range from comedy to tragedy, modern to classic. Also, a series of one act plays directed by students are another aspect of both audience entertainment and participation. For music lovers. Furman offers the Furman University Band. Furman Singers. Furman Orchestra. University Chorus. Chamber Singers. Furman Jazz Ensemble - just to name a few. In recent years. Furman has welcomed the Royal Philharmonic. The Leningrad Symphony, the Western Opera Theatre and the Crossing. Dance enthusiasts have been treated to performances by the Chicago City Ballet and other touring troupes. Although an alterior motive for attendance at many cultural events involves CLP credits, many students and faculty find that Furman offers them access to cultural experiences which are both enjoyable and educational.

Presidential hopeful Tennessee Senator Al Gore made a campaign stop during the fall at Furman. CULTURE 29 THE SPORTING LIFE One way that people enjoyed spending their free time and blowing off that extra energy that classes could cause was Intramural Sports. From soccer to floor hockey, bowling to water polo, hockey to softball, racquetball to basketball, to ultimate frisbee or tennis - intramurals meant big business. Weather playing for a fraternity, a social club, a hall, or just a group of good friends, intramurals was a good way to improve friendships, practice team-work skills, and get in better shape! Don't misunderstand though, the competition was always fierce. The ultimate goal in intramural play was the coveted All Sports Trophy - one for the girls, one for the guys. For the guys however, there was another obstacle on the road to the All Sports Trophy, the Centaur Fraternity, who had won the Trophy for the past eight years. The intramural program was coordinated by Mr. Owen McFadden. Reed Cammack Winter term proved that basketball wasn't just for the guys as the girls took to the courts for some serious action. Heads up! Soccer was serious business during the fall. Co-rec basketball also scored big. It may have been cold outside, but inside the competition was hot. Bowling during the winter semester was a good way to get off campus for fun intramural competition. No one would ever guess from these determined faces that this was an intramural game. The determination for victory was always intense. HUNTER HUNTER INTRAMURALS 31 WHAT’S THE WORD Communication is the key. That was the philosophy of the Communications Organizations here on campus. These groups included the Echo, the bi-annual literary magazine; the Paladin, the weekly newspaper; WPLS, Furman's own radio station; and the Bonhomie, the yearbook. Together these organizations kept Furman informed. The Echo was a cultural combination of student fiction, photography, and art. The Paladin, which came out every Friday morning, was put out by Rhonda Rabon and her talented staff. WPLS. 96.5 F.M.. was a favorite for people who were tired of, or didn't like top 40 music. WPLS was located across from the mailboxes where the bank used to be. Finally, there was the Bonhomie, the much anticipated yearbook.

For students, dorm life consisted of a wide variety of activities, ranging from crowding into a dorm room to watching The Cosby Show on Thursday night to engaging in the never-ending battle for a washing machine and dryer in the laundry rooms. Living in the dorms brought students closer together. Friends would gather in each other's rooms to talk, to watch t.v.. and to study. Often a whole hall would get together to go out to eat or to the movies, just for fun. Some halls planned progressive dinners, while some planned community service projects in which the students could participate. Often, the halls in the dorms served as the setting for an impromptu game of indoor frisbee or soccer. In the kitchens, one was likely to find a group of students talking of studying, especially if the aroma of cookies baking was in the air. Living in the dorms provided students with a community-like environment in which to get to know each other. The feeling of togetherness in the dorms was compounded by the sharing of kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and study rooms. In such close quarters, occupants of one dorm room were usually well-acquainted with the musical tastes of their neighbors, and vice versa. Dorm life gave students the chance to learn to coexist and to share with others. It also offered many opportunities for students to get together for fun. for food, or for relaxing. Vivian Salley and Rachel Knight needed that special hug that only a Kim Branon proudly shows her room oft good friend can give, that's all decked out in the balloon motif. __________ 34 STUDENT LIFE nn,- Candi Hill discovered that the hall is the best place to make a banner.

RESIDENCE LIF f35 F-U-S-A-B - No matter how you spell it, it always spells fun. Meaning the Furman University Student Activities Board. FUSAB is made up of some of the most creative, fun-loving, and artistic individuals on campus. Believing that variety is the spice of life, these members strive to provide entertainment for the variety of Furman students. Whether it be a variety show at Homecoming, a week-end movie, or a sophisticated TWIRP dance, these members wanted you to have as much fun as they had planning the events. While the members provided the annual favorites such as Carl Rosen. Horseplay, and blockbuster movies such as “The Untouchables. and “No Way Out. Rachel Knight, vice-president, enthusiastically states, We are also determined to be innovative and daring! This innovative quality was evident when the group succeeded in bringing The Romantics to McAllister Auditorium. Hypnotist Tom Deluca and Beatles impressionists 1964“ proved to be very successful risks as well. FUSAB also made the effort to launch new projects. The Travel Committee got together a Spring Break trip to Daytona Beach. The group also started a small and personal nightclub series called “Mainstage. This series included performers ranging from pop guitarists to comedians. Obviously FUSAB is the mark of distinction for campus activity and entertainment.

Ken Corts. Stafford Green. Aaron Goodwin, and Marc Esper enjoyed the hot tub on their spring FUSAB retreat. Bands and singers were only part of FUSAB's special activities for Furman students. The Elements. a popular reggae band, was the first reggae band here at Furman. 38 STUDENT LIFE In January, one highlight was 60 s week. What better way to celebrate and catch that's 60 s spirit than tie-dyeing t shirts, shorts, and boxers’ Sporting their FUSAB sweatshirts, the Furman FUS-AB group takes time to pose for a picture. FURMAN TRADITIONS The singing of Happy Birthday in a crowded dining hall, a swarm of friends and well-wishers becoming a mob, voices shouting LAKE! LAKE! — another Furman student is immersed in the waters of Furman s lake. Being thrown in the lake to celebrate a birthday was one of many traditions at Furman University. The campus itself lent to many of the traditions including the rose garden and the bell tower. Some Furman traditions were associated with events such as Freshman Orientation's Midnight Serenade in which the men went to the women's dorms and serenaded the women who stood on the balconies. One of the songs. Brown Eyes , was a Furman tradition itself. Other events included TWIRP dance, a dance in which the girls asked the guys. Viense Ball, a waltz held in McAlister Auditorium, and May Day Play Day. a festival held the first Saturday in May for the CESC kids. Furman University also incorporated some of the local businesses into their traditions. Pulling all-nighters while sipping coffee at l-HOP, satisfying a craving in the middle of the night with a Krispy Kreme donut run. or ordering Bernardio's or Domino's have all become traditions at Furman. Other traditions included: dining at Pete's and going to KA rock. Upon the completion of four years at Furman, a student had participated in at least several of these activities.

(perhaps the most important organization) on campus, consisted of a group of elected students from each class who represented the Furman student body. The group met every Monday night. All meetings were open to faculty and students. There were five standing committees that made up AFS: the Finance Committee controlled the AFS budget, which came from a portion of the Student Activities Fee paid by all students. This Committee funded all AFS sponsored groups and decided how much money each group would receive. The Policies and Proceedures Committee approved the constitution of all clubs that were sponsored by AFS. Each club was required to have a constitution before it could exist. The Residential Living Committee took care of problems in the residence halls. This Committee worked with the Residence Hall Association to make residential life the best it could possibly be. The Development Committee worked with general problems on campus that affected Furman students. Their major project this year was working to get more parking space for students. The Academic Affairs Committee helped in deciding the dates for the school calendar and for various academic programs. This year they began work on an academic minor program. The AFS also had small committees called Ad-Hoc Committees. These groups were formed for specific problems that came up throughout the year. For example, stadium seating for students, student parking, and keeping the library open 24 hours during exam time. Other major activities sponsored by AFS were Freshman Orientation, and funding of float-building during Homecoming. Connie King Speeches were only part of the process for being elected to AFS. AFS met on Monday nights at 6:00 p.m. in the Conference Room of the Student Center. All students were welcome. 46 • . The Executive Board of AFS kept things running smoothly and worked hard to represent the needs of Furman students. AFS president Troy Simpson, never quit working to make Furman a better place for everyone. AFS 47 IT’S A JUNGLE OUT THERE! Furman University, like most college campuses had a Career Service Office. Furman s Office, located in FH-102, offered a wide variety of services to students and alumni. Students who were involved in the work-study program received help finding on-campus jobs for the school year. The Office also helped students seeking full-time or part-time jobs in Greenville. One of the largest programs of the year was Career Day which was held in October. The theme of this year's Career Day was 'Career Saffari: Because It's a Jungle Out There. Career Day gave students an opportunity to meet with companies who were prospective employers and with graduate school representatives. In addition, the Career Services Office had a referal service with companies who were interested in hiring Furman Graduates. Arrangements were made through this office for recruiters to come to Furman for on-campus interviews. David Conner and the entire Career Services Office were more than willing to help students in their looking for full time employment or just a summer job. Furman students were lucky to have the Career Services Office to help them with their futures. Stacey Kennedy I CAN'T D£ On the 15th of each month, sign-up sheets for companies who will be interviewing the following month are posted. The Career Placement Office offers many employment opportunities for all students. Books listing available jobs on campus as well in the community are available for all students. 48 STUDENT LIFE IBM was one of many companies who participated in Career Day. Career Day gave juniors and seniors the chance to meet with people they might like to work for. These seniors visited with several companies participating in Career Day. This gave them the chance to see what the various companies offered and what they were looking for in an employee. CAREER SERVICES 49 READY OR NOT .. . So you want a job. Do you know what you want to do? How to write a resume? How to get your foot in the door, so to speak? If you were uncertain about the answers to these questions, help could be found in the office of Career Services, downstairs in Furman Hall. Anne Marie Florio coordinated student employment, which included internships, co-ops. Dana internships. summer employment, and college work study off campus. In her own words Mrs. Florio works to educate students on finding a summer job. The Career Service Office could provide interested students with a booklet that gave hints on resume writing and job-searching. In addition. Mrs. Florio tried to develop summer jobs, talking to employers and encouraging them to hire students. When Greenville area employers contacted her with reports of job openings, she posted the information and also included it on flyers that went to the people listed in Career Service files. The office received information on jobs from all over the country. If a student came into the office with an idea of the kind of job he or she wanted. Mrs. Florio worked with them using the various references the office had such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Career Resource Library. If a student was uncertain about what type of job he wanted, then Mrs. Florio could aid in identifying skills and in writing a resume. Lisa Howard Graduate schools participated m Career Day as well Mike Verde spoke with the representative from Emory School of Law. David Conner helped students with everything from interviewing skills to resume writing to application techniques. He listened to their goals and helped them to determine what career path was right for them. 50 STUDENT LIFE Flies kept information on students as well as on the different employers who interviewed on campus.

One of the best known organizations on Furman's campus was Collegiate Educational Service Corps (CESC). CESC began 22 years ago under the guidance of Miss Betty Alverson (Miss'A ). It started with 75 students working in 18 agencies, and has since grown to include over 1000 students working in over 65 agencies. In recent years the CESC program has been named one of the four finalists in the National Center for Voluntary Action. Mark Eckels, co-chairperson for 1987-88. said, CESC gives Furman students a chance to give service to others who really need it — an opportunity students at other schools don't have. The response has shown that we re not a me generation. We really care about others. The 1987-88 volunteers showed that they cared in a variety of ways. Some students chose to work in programs such as mini-parks, nursing homes, or church day care centers. Other students tutored elementary or middle school students who were having trouble with their school work. Beth Ramage. the division head for elementary schools said, The best thing about working with children in elementary schools is that you can see your time and attention making a difference in the kids. CESC included other programs as well, such as working with mentally retarded children and adults. One of the highlights of the year for all involved was May Day Play Day. All the people who were involved with CESC during the year came to Furman, which had been transformed into a playground with hot air balloons, cotton candy, and clowns. It was a happy day for everyone. The most important thing the volunteers did. however, was share their time and attention with people who really need it. Willing to Care. Willing to Share was the theme for 1987-88. Most who were involved agreed with co-chairperson. Vivian Salley. who said. CESC is the most meaningful experience you can have at Furman.

RUSHING AROUND Every year the fraternities and social clubs kicked-off a new campaign to gain a new pledge class that would be an asset to their club for years to come. The clubs looked for individuals with whom they would be able to build life-long ties and friend ships. The fraternities and social clubs strived to find members who would uphold their club's values and represent them in every aspect of Furman life. For most universities, rush means a concentrated one or two weeks in which active members attempt to meet as many rushees as possible. In contrast. Furman rush provided a period of at least five weeks for the clubs to throw parties, smokers, and teas. This gave the rushees a better chance to evaluate the different organizations. One underlying goal of rush at Furman was to stress that rushees go to all of the different parties and meetings in order to see which group was right for them. Rush was a time for meeting different people and for making new friends. It gave students at Furman a chance to truly get to know the various members of the clubs and to get involved in activities that suited their own individual taste.

Each Friday afternoon the minds of many Furman students turned away from books, tests and papers to thoughts of a fun-filled, care-free weekend. According to Jill Owens, the best way to blow off studying is to go on a shopping spree at Haywood Mall. While some shopped, others road tripped to exciting destinations, or back home to see mom and dad. In addition, many activities were available on campus. These included FUSAB movies, coffee house, and fraternity parties such as the BE Beach Party. Pikapps Casino Night, and Cygnus Super Nova to name a few. The next morning you could find many Furman students doing another favorite activity, sleeping late! During fall term, cheering the paladins to victory at home football games was also a favorite pastime. While many fun activities were available to every Furman student on the weekends. some students had to use their time to complete chores such as laundry or cleaning their rooms. Some students even used their time to study — as strange and unusual as it may seem. Although each Furman student had at least one weekend of intense studying, most weekends offered students an opportunity to relax a little and get ready to face yet another busy week.

Lisa Howard - L LUi-LL - S 'SPORTS TRAINING FOR EXCELLENCE PALADINS CONTINUE A WINNING TRADITION In Jimmy Satterfield's second year as head coach, the Furman football team took on its usual tough schedule with the determination and resolve typical of the Paladins. With veterans Keith Moore and Chris Speaks at quarterback. Ken-net Goldsmith at fullback. John Bagwell at tailback, and many other experienced players, the Furman offense formed a solid base on which to build. The defensive team also consisted of many talented players, including the powerful duo of linebackers Jeff Blankenship and Darryl Gardner. The Paladins got off to an impressive start with consecutive wins over S.C. State and Presbyterian College. But losses to Western Carolina. UT-Chatta-nooga. and Appalachian State dampened Furman's playoff hopes. By midseason. the Paladins were plagued by injuries to such key figures as Mark Brown. Tim Stepp, Pat Turner. Larry Grady, and Mike Wilson. But the Paladins persevered, and finished the season with a 7-4 overall record. Notable games against Davidson and VMI gave valuable playing time to such promising freshmen reserves as Frankie DeBusk, Billy Stockdale. Ivan Johnson, and Brad Stephens, as well as to members of a sophomore group that ranks high among Furman's best classes of recruits. The Paladins also soundly defeated a Citadel team whose highly praised wishbone offense was torn apart by the Furman defense. One of the Paladins' most impressive performances of the season came against Florida State, which was fourth-ranked in the nation. Coach Satterfield and the team set out with the same goal as in any other game — winning — and even though they did not achieve this goal, they put up a good fight. Furman led the Seminoles 7-0 in the beginning, and FSU did not take the lead until the last minutes of the first quarter. The 41-10 final score did not accurately reflect the spirit and determination of the Paladins. whose hard-hitting intensity continued even after the Seminoles took a decisive lead. Sophomore Dwight Sterling's 126 yards were the most gained by a single running back against FSU at that point in the season. The Paladins' effort earned the respect of Seminole coach Bobby Bowden and many others. The 1987 season had its ups and downs, but the Paladins continued the Furman tradition of playing good, strong football under the steady direction of Coach Satterfield. Next season, the coaches face the task of replacing over two dozen seniors who will be sorely missed, but with the talent demonstrated by the underclassmen this year, that task should not be too difficult.

If dedication and both physical and mental cooperation were the keys to success in a team sport, cheerleading at Furman was not an exception. Under the leadership and coaching of varsity captain Todd White and JV captain Susanne Aldredge. the discipline and long hours paid off in the form of national recognition for the Furman cheerleaders. The Paladin varsity cheerleaders were chosen as one of the top five squads in their division to compete at the national finals in San Diego. Even though they were unable to compete due to inclement weather conditions and resulting transportation difficulties. the recognition deserved by the squad was not denied by their fellow students. The cheerleaders handled their disappointment as they had handled tense situations during football and basketball games... with Paladin spirit and support for the team. Cheerleaders were team athletes, so the most important bonds between partners and among squad members were those of friendship and trust; or. falling backwards from the top of a pyramid and knowing that your partner would be there to catch you, as one JV cheerleader put it. More so than most other athletes, cheerleaders were also expected to be representatives of the school, said another squad member. The cheerleaders raised crowd spirit at athletic events, but they also raised student spirit through campus public relations. As both athletes and role-models, the Paladin cheerleaders made a contribution to Furman’s reputation for excellence.

Their 13-4-2 record; which included wins over powerhouses Clem-son and South Carolina, took them to a Southern Conference Championship. Coach John Tart was also named Coach of the Year. The team had twelve shutouts. It was ranked sixth in the South Region. its highest ranking ever. Eight team members were named to the 1986 All-Southern Conference squad and for the first time in Furman’s history, the school took conference Player-of-the-Year honors. Following up such a spectacular team was hard. Coach Tart's main goal was to maintain the strength of the Furman soccer team and to achieve a consistent winning program that would continue to improve. This year the soccer team pulled out a 12-6-1 overall record with a 5-0 Southern Conference record. In their schedule. they faced top Southeastern teams such as South Carolina. Clemson. North Carolina State, and North Carolina. The Paladins posted six shutouts - UNC-Asheville, the Citadel. Appalachian State. UNC-Charlotte. Stetson, and Marshall. Under Coach Tart in his sixth year as head coach, the Paladins made 1987 the fifth consecutive winning season for the soccer team. In his six years of coaching. Coach Tart has a career record of 64-42-9. Eighteen lettermen including eleven starters returned to the team this year. None of the starters had been lost. Nine seniors returned to the field. They were: Scott Broderick. Aaron Burns. Pat Ham-men, Jeff Jones. Tommy Little. Chip Love, Ben Midulla, Doug Mitchell, and Jan Redrupp. Scott Broderick, the school's all-time scoring leader, has a career record of 44 goals.

Furman keeps seventy-two records; sixty-one of these were broken this year. The top three players on the team this year were seniors Lynda Newman, Tandy Purry. and Janine Turner. The team also included one junior — Beth Youngblood; six sophomores — Maria Anderson, Jennifer White. Susan Johnson. Julie Porter. Tiffany Rath, and Lisa Weiner; and four freshmen — Marti King, Liz Garity. Lori Schock. and Kelly Sommer. Lynda Newman was named a Southern Conference Player of the Week once this year and Janine Turner was named Southern Conference Player of the Week twice this year. In addition to these accomplishments. Janine made the All-Conference team and Janine and Lisa Weiner made the All-Conference Tournament Team. This year Janine was a candidate for All-American in volleyball and softball. Coach Ruth Fritz was named Southern Conference Coach of the year. The Lady Paladins finished the season in the tournament at Marshall in Huntington. West Virginia with a record of twenty-six wins and thirteen losses allowing them to place second in the conference.

In 1987 the team experienced a surge in the number of students who came forward to participate in the events. In his fourth year as head coach. Gene Mullin led the Paladins to improve in many areas. The men's indoor team also improved last year. At the Virginia Tech Relays. a school record was set in the 4 x 1500 meter relay. The team also won gold medals in the distance medley relay and the two mile relay. The team put forth a strong performance in Southern Conference Competition, with Senior Benji Motle scoring in the long and triple jumps and senior Adam Jagelski scoring in the two mile run. The track and field team started off by winning their first three invitationals at Western Carolina. Emory, and Davidson. They followed with a fourth place finish at the state championships. The athletes who returned for the 1988 season were: John Furnell. Brian Caffrey. Dave Maxfield. Mike Wilson. Julius Dixon. David Brown, and Lemar Bell. One of the freshmen joining them was Jay Charles, who was an all-state runner as a prep. With this combination, the Paladins expected more successes in their upcoming season.

MEN S TRACK AND FIELO 85 LADY PALADINS RACE TO VICTORY For the Lady Paladins. 1987 was their first year as competitors in the Southern Conference. The team was composed of few members, but the athletes competed in several different events in order to score as many points as possible. The women put forth good showings at both the Davidson and Emory relays. They later went on to place fifth in their first Southern Conference Championship. Although several of the experienced athletes had graduated, the Lady Paladins were looking forward to more improvements in their next year. In distance events, senior Kathy Pownall returned as well as sophomore Sarah Baughcome. Junior Tonya Tinnel re- turned in the weight throws and sprints, and was joined by sophomore Stacey Register in the sprints. Finally, sophomore Katie Snead returned in the hurdles. Coming to join the team this year were: Julie Hendley. Karen Dixon. Karen Erbes. Nicole Lewis, and Ellen Fries. Julie Hendley was a transfer from Appalachian State and participated in distance events. Karen Dixon, as a prep in North Carolina, was state champion in the triple jump. She lacked less than two feet in her attempt to qualify for the NCAA Division I Championship as a freshman.

The following season a 10-6 record and a fourth place league finish attested to remarkable improvement in the team. This marked improvement caused a 50% jump in attendance at Greenville Memorial Auditorium. Fans cheered the 1986-87 team on to a 17-12 overall record. Head coach Butch Estes brought about this transformation since his arrival in April 1985. Estes has a 131-98 career record and a 39-35 record in his tenure here. Last year, Estes garnered Southern Conference Coach of the Year honors. Coming into the 1987-88 season, the Paladins had lost four lettermen. but had ten returning lettermen and five newcomers. Backcourt players with experience were senior Shawn Reid and junior David Brown. The duo established a reputation for their three-point shots, ranking as the best in the Southern Conference. These players helped the team to a league-leading position in three-point shooting. In the frontcourt. seniors John Castile and Gary Churchill returned, along with junior Joey Brooks. Castile was named Furman's Most Valuable Player for the last two years. Last year Castile was an All-South Carolina and first team All-Southern Conference Tournament pick, leading the team in minutes played, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals. His unselfish style of play did not lead to high scoring numbers or conference honors, but did contribute to team chemistry . Junior David Brown was the DUNK! leading scorer, followed by Castile and Brooks. Brown gave Furman six 20-point plus performances, ranking among the league's best three-point shooters and free-throw shooters. This year, the Paladin newcomers were listed in Bob Gibbons' All-Star Sports Report as the best class of recruits in the Southern Conference. They included 6'8 Tim Vorel. 67 Tom O'Donnell, expected to be scrutinized as a candidate for power forward, and 67 Brent Williams. Tracy Garrick also joined Furman after playing a key role on Lower Richmond's AAAA State Championship teams. Lastly. Chris Bass, with a 36-inch vertical leap, rounded out the newcomers. The captains for the 1987-88 team were Gary Churchill. John Castile, and Shawn Reid. By the beginning of February the team had a 12-6 record and a 6-3 Southern Conference Record. The season already had several memorable moments. There was. of course, a 91 -84 win over The Citadel, when the January snowstorm forced the teams to play in the Herman W. Lay Physical Activities Center. In addition, the team snapped three losing streaks: the first victory over Davidson since 1983-84. a win over Wake Forest that ended a 23-game losing streak to ACC foes, and a triumph over UT-Chattanooga to stop a 14-game losing streak to that team. After these accomplishments the Paladins continued with the remainder of the season, confident of success.

MEN S BASKETBALL 91 LADY PALADINS PERFORM UNDER PRESSURE Women's basketball coach Sherry Carter led the Lady Paladins to a remarkable season. By the beginning of February, the team was headed toward attaining the second winning record in the program's history. Along the way. the team earned the respect of their opponents in the league. In their first twenty games the basketball players had a 12-8 overall record and were 2-4 in the Southern Conference. They set a goal of breaking the 1983-84 team's record of 14 wins. The Lady Paladins could look toward that goal because of the team's well-balanced early play. Freshman center Natalie Cleckby led their attacks, averaging 14.3 points per game. With a rebound average of 10.5 per game. Cleckby was touted as a candidate for Southern Conference freshman-of-the-year. Sophomore Nancy Glass and junior Lori Whitaker followed her. Other starters were senior Lucy Dunn and Robin Kolvek. Dunn has a tally of 1300 career points and this season became Furman's all-time leading scorer. In addition. Dunn holds seven other school records, including those for career assists and steals. Besides the starters, sophomore Terra Greene and freshman Suzanne McKinney saw significant playing time. Greene, averaging 22 minutes per game was second in assists and third in blocked shots and steals. McKinney led the squad in shooting accuracy and blocked shots. Among the season s highlights was the UNC-Asheville game, where the squad set a new record with 99 points. Also. Lori Whitaker was named player-of-the-week in the conference for the week January 25-31. Whitaker became the first Lady Paladin to receive this honor. Also, the team started the season with a seven game winning streak, establishing another school record. In this streak they defeated Georgia State in the finals of the Second Annual Lady Paladin Invitational, earning the first ever tournament victory. Finally, the squad snapped losing streaks to Appalachian State and East Tennessee State. These were the first Furman defeats over these opponents, coming in consecutive games. Also, it was the first time the Lady Paladins had won consecutive conference games. Well before the season was completed. the season rated as a success. With all these firsts behind them, the Lady Paladins began working toward another goal, a new record of fifteen wins. Lisa Howard Row 1: Lucy Dunn. Suzann Misdrel. Carolyn Lyon. Row 2: Robin Kolvek.

WOMEN S BASKETBALL 93 POWER IN With the arrival of interim coach Terry Palma, the men’s swimming program stroked past their competitors again this season. Last February the men's Paladin Pride led them to a third place finish at the New South Invitational at Duke University. The addition of several valuable freshmen to an already well established team of upperclassmen built a powerful wave against Furman opposition. Senior captain and New South Invitational 200 individual medley Champion Dan Beatty produced solid swims in the individual medley and breaststroke events. Along with Dan. Kevin Howard and Mark Kothe were necessary components to Furman's relay successes. Senior diver John Sanders, who holds the team records in both one and three meter diving, made solid performances against very tough competition. Seniors Chris Bergh and Mike Martino scored important points in 200 fly and sprint freestyle, respectively. New South Champion in 100 and 200 butterfly and John Sanders arches to a perfect 10.

He contributed his talents in a wide range of events, especially the 200 individual medley and 200 breaststroke. Christopher James, also a freshman, sped by his competition in the 100 and 200 freestyle. Other valuable freshmen included Jeff Pave in middle distance freestyle and butterfly. Larry Lee in backstroke. Philip Heidrich in distance freestyle, and Doug Harper in middle distance and sprint freestyle.

MEN S SWIMMING 95 PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT The Lady Paladin swimmers, led by captain Jan Ingold, splashed their way to a second outstanding season in Division I competition. Last season the women finished second at the New South Invitational at Duke University, helping the team to an overall second place finish, and. more impressively, placed nineteenth at the NCAA Division I Championships in Indianapolis. The national placing culminated a fantastic first season in Division I competition. Solid returning upperclassmen and incoming freshmen combined to make the 1987-88 Lady Paladins worthy Division I competitors. Leading the newcomers was sophomore transfer Shellie Joanis. Coming from a strong Clemson program. Shellie was the number one distance swimmer and butterflier at Furman. NCAA diving hopeful Tami Merril consistently outclassed her one and three meter diving competitors. Michelle Rossmiller. freshman, and Shannon Laney. junior, made amazing progress in their first year of diving at Furman. Other freshmen standouts include: Tracy Jones in sprint and middle distance freestyle, Kris Cook in breaststroke. Laura Roberts in middle distance and distance freestyle and butterfly, Lisa Silliman in distance freestyle and Heather Rever in sprint freestyle. Carrying a lot of responsibility this year was all-American swimming star Angel Myers. She was a powerful competitor at the NCAA Division I Championships last March, and last summer she qualified to compete on the United States National Team in the Pan-Pacific Games in Australia. While there she captured the 200 individual medley and 400 medley Relay titles. She also made a strong second place finish in the 100 butterfly. In college competition this year. Angel swam wherever she was needed to make a strong line-up. Four-hundred individual medley team record holder Lelia Dupre gave solid performances in backstroke, breaststroke, individual medley, and middle distance freestyle races. Additional contributing upperclassmen included New South Invitational 200 breaststroke champion Jan Ingold in breaststroke and individual medley, Kelly Cole in backstroke. Jennifer Muller in backstroke, Kelly Beck in backstroke and individual medley. Lisa Bitting in distance freestyle, butterfly and individual medley. Tracey Meredith in sprint freestyle and backstroke and Bethany Borry in sprint freestyle. With good depth and strong leadership the Lady Paladins produced another great season.

WOMEN S SWIMMING 97 PALADINS RALLY TO VICTORY The 1988 Men's Tennis Team as usual posted another very successful season after completing back to back Southern Conference Championships in 1986 and 1987. The positions vacated by All-American Ned Caswell. Academic All-American Troy Goers and Southern Conference Champion Myles Gilsenan were filled very competently by Senior co-captains David Detwiler, Bryan Kelley and Junior College All-American Tawn Harden. The 1988 schedule saw the Paladins take on five of the top 20 NCAA teams including national champion. Georgia. The Paladins proved they could play with the very best and Coach Paul Scarpa attributes the team's success to the quality and depth of the squad. Because of the new NCAA 30 match schedule rule, Furman relied not only on the likes of Southern Conference Champions Brian Ouellette and Matthew Morris, but also Steve Serra. Brett Caldwell. Patrick Rice. Brian O'Keefe. Brad Rhoads and transfer Brad Huff. A strong Freshman class of Charles Reiney. Warren Greene. Kevin Murtha and Steffen Luesel rounded out the official squad, which as usual set their goal on not being denied another Southern Conference Championship, achieving an outstanding dual match record and seeking a possible NCAA slot.

They were the pre-season favorites to repeat as Southern Conference Champions. In the 1986-87 season the Lady Paladins earned their conference championship led by Coach Debbie Southern and seniors Janey Strause, the conference most valuable player for the second year in a row, and Grace Saunders. They also became the first women's team at Furman to win a Southern Conference Championship. This season, the team was scheduled against some very tough opponents. Aside from their conference schedule, the team would play Tennessee. Clemson, Wisconsin. Notre Dame. Florida State. Wake Forest. Auburn, and NC State. By playing such strong opponents, Coach Southern felt that the team would become more competitive, a factor that would work to their advantage at tournament time. Karen Kelly was the top player among this year's returning players. A junior, she had never lost a Southern Conference Championship match since coming to Furman, winning at the fourth and fifth flights. Another junior. Gwinn Earle returned and was expected to make the top six and contribute in doubles. Four sophomores returned this year, all having garnered either a singles or a doubles championship last year; Joanie Ekins, last year's number three conference champion; Laurie Johnson, who took the number six title; Regina Fletcher, who captured number three doubles along with Karen Kelly; and Kathryn Jarvis, who was injured last year but still teamed with Janey Strause to win number one doubles. Two freshmen who joined the team this year were Barb Knudten and Paige Davis. In pre-season. Barb was seen as a contender to start. All these players hoped to capture the second victory in a row for the Lady Paladin tennis team and started the season with high expectations.

Joanie Ekins WOMEN S TENNIS 101 THE WILL TO WIN Strength and endurance! That's what the cross country teams were made of this year! The men's outstanding season last year did not hold the runners back at all this year. The team returned with a strong lineup, even though they lost several great runners. Senior Adam Jagelski and junior Brian Caffrey provided the team with the high scores it needed. Jagelski has four top-ten finishes out of six meets. He also finished sixth overall in the Southern Conference Championship and was named an All Conference Player. Caffrey finished 15th overall in the UNC-Charlotte Invitational. A number of other experienced runners added to the team including Dennis Baron. Chris Fleming. Don Womach. Jason Deal. David Emery. Randell Ewing, and David Maxfield. The six freshmen members of the team were led by Jay Charles and Mike Brumbaugh, both of whom had outstanding high school records. Tim Rogers. Rhett Baughm, Randy Scmitck. and Mike Wyatt were the other freshmen who adjusted themselves to college competition and improved this year. The team worked together as a whole to make the changes it needed, while striving to win. The women's cross country team had a very optimistic season this year. However, a lack of runners caused them only to place in two meets. Coach Gene Mullin faced a real challenge with the team only in its second year of competition. The team lost several senior girls last year who provided depth, including Bessie Patterson, Wendy James. Susan Conway, and Christie Gilman. However. Sharah Baughcome. who led the team as its top runner last year returned. Senior Debbie Johnson also returned to the team, along with Kathy Pownall. who ran track for Furman last year, but decided to run cross country this year. She ended up being the top runner for the team. There were three new runners this year, two of whom were freshmen Karen Erbes and Nicole Lewis. Erbes and Lewis both had outstanding track records in high school, but ran Cross Country for Furman and did a great job. The other new player was Elaine Stone, a walk-on Senior who had little collegiate experience, but had a good season. This year was definitely a growing year for the team and hopefully they improved enough this year to have an even better season next year.

At the end of the 1987 season, the Paladins suffered two key losses upon the graduation of Shawn McCall who had played outfield and center, and Kirk Burnett who had been a pitcher, but the team had confidence in the abilities of the returning players and the incoming Freshmen. In addition to the two seniors. the 1987 team consisted of seven juniors, three sophomores, and eight freshmen. The 1988 team was led by seniors Danny Green at shortstop. Bob Thomas at first base. David Green at third base, and Russel Rush at center. The team was also relying on the multiple talents of sophomore Jim Piekut-owski who was a pitcher, catcher, and outfielder. Jim was named Freshman of the Year in the Southern Conference in 1987. The 1988 season included the regular schedule of Southern Conference games as well as games against opponents such as Clemson. William and Mary, and Marshall. Coached by Tom Wall, the 1988 team hoped to better their 1987 9-11 -1 record at home and their 2-15 record away. The Paladins also hoped to upgrade their 5-11 record in the Southern Conference South Division. With the talent the team possessed. the baseball team looked forward to a successful season.

BASEBALU105 POWER PLAY The 1987 season was extremely successful with a 26-10 record, but Coach Alleen Berkey believed that the 1988 season could be even better. Playing on their recently completed home field, the 1988 Lady Paladins would strive to surpass their number seven ranking in the southern region from the previous season. Co-captains Janine Turner and Emilie McDonald led the Lady Paladins this season. Turner was an established pitcher and McDonald played an outstanding third base. They received support from an experienced infield featuring Kelli Maloney at the first base and pitching positions. Amy Barringer at catcher. Mandy Maxey at second base, and Julie Brzezinski at shortstop. The outfield would experience some transition this year as last year's starters were gone, but Bonnie Ashley and Julie Porter were expected to come through with the necessary leadership. They would have the help of a large freshman class which included Tonya Olson. Kerri Jenkins. Suzanne Mischel. and Shannon Young. The total composition of the team would be aided by the additions of pitchers Nancy Crisler and Yvonne Brown, and outfielders Michelle Brown and Anita Roper. The schedule was tough, featuring tournaments at Florida State. South Carolina. Chattanooga, and Penn State. Still. Berkey states: “I believe we can be in the top four in the region if the pieces fall together, and that should be good enough to guarantee some post season play. Lynne Faulkner Row 1: Yvonne Brown.

While attending these tournaments did not reflect upon the team record. it did allow the different members of the team to build their individual records. At the beginning of their season, the Paladins had a 1 -2 record. They posted a win over Davidson, but lost to Olivette Nazarene from Illinois and Kent State from Ohio. In their defeat at Kent State, the Paladins were pitted against a traditionally good team. Before winding up their season on February 17. the wrestling team would face opponents in seven more dual meets. For the third year. Tony Caterisano acted as the wrestling coach. Last year, he coached the Paladins to a 5-7 record. One of the wrestlers. Rob Hoskin. was injured and was unable to fill his 118 lb. category for the first part of the season. Senior Craig Stanley wrestled at 126 lbs. Former National Prep Champion Marty Fajherman commanded the spot at 134 lbs. A freshman. Fajherman had a 19-9 record after the third Paladin meet. Another player was freshman Ryan Conti in the 142 lb. category. At 150 lbs. was Brian Allford, a freshman. Sophomore Doug Williams filled the 158 lb. spot. Senior Sam Goodwin wrestled at 167 lbs. The Paladin team had no wrestler for the 177 lb. spot and therefore had to forfeit at that position. Dwight Sterling wrestled at the 190 lb. spot in one of the first three meets. Sophomore John Hughes wrestled in the heavy-weight position. As a freshman. Hughes was third in the conference and had a chance at moving up this year. Also, backup heavyweight Ken Berry was slated to see action at a later point in the season. Mike Gould also had a chance to step in at the 150 or 158 lb. categories as the season progressed.

WRESTLING 109 THE DRIVING FORCE Having a successful rebuilding campaign last year, the 1987-88 Men’s Golf team became top competitors once again! The three senior returnees were Rob Gerwin. Pat Hynes, and Peter Ward. They had outstanding previous records, recording two of the Paladin’s three lowest stroke averages last year. Gerwin had a sixth place finish in the Palmetto Invitational and tenth place in the conference championships, while averaging 76.7 strokes per round last year. Also, Hynes had a second place finish at the University of Virginia Invitational and a fourth place finish in the conference championships, having a 75.6 strokes per round average. This year, their records were just as impressive and their experience added strength and stability to the team. Other returning players this year were Shannon O'Neil, Rich Massey, and Todd White. White had the second lowest stroke average on the team last year and was Furman's highest placer in this year’s College of Charleston Invitational, finishing seventh overall. The newcomers to the team were all freshmen. They included Larry Tedesco. Steven Spencer, and Eric Williams. Tedesco. a runnerup in the Connecticut Junior Championships last year, had a promising record this year with the second highest Paladin finish in the College of Charleston Invitational (158 strokes) and the highest Paladin finish. 33rd, in the Southern Intercollegiate Championships (231 strokes). The team had a fifth place finish out of twenty-four teams in the College of Charleston Invitational and an eighth place finish out of nine teams at the Southern Intercollegiate Championships in Athens, GA. With the experience and hard work of the whole team. Coach Willie Miller had another winning season. Connie King Row 1: Steve Segesman. Peter Ward. Todd White, Eric Williams. Rich Massey.

They had ten top-ten finishes in eleven outings, three tournament wins, and finished second in the NCAA Women's Golf Championship held in Albuquerque. The 1988 team had a tough path to follow, especially since Furman lost four of its top five players, including Dottie Pepper-Mochrie. who was a huge asset to the team. She finished fourth overall in the NCAA Championship. Other scores included Margaret Will in 15th place. Kristin Lofye in 25th, Kelli Stenzel in 33rd. and Debbie Moss in 65th. Coach Mick Potter, having an excellent record of coaching winning teams, was very pleased with the team's victory. Kristin Lofye was the team's only returning player and was looked upon for leadership and stability by the four new players, all of whom were fresh- men. Chrissy Eades, Polly Hartly. Barbara Koosa, and Leslie Smith had strong high school records and united with the Furman team easily. The Women's Golf team went from one of the best teams to one of the youngest. The 1987-88 team kept a moderate record, finishing ninth out of eighteen teams in the Dick McGuire Invitational, and eleventh out of eighteen teams in the Lady Tar Heel Invitational, both of which were two of their toughest meets. Top finishers for the Dick McGuire Invitational were Barbara Koosa, finishing 12th overall; Kristin Lofye. finishing 17th overall; and Chrissy Eades. finishing 49th overall. The team did a lot of growing this year and hopefully built up enough stamina to have an even better season next year. With the experience behind them, they are sure to carry on the reputation of a strong team. Connie King L-R: Coach M� c Potter. Kris Lofye. Barbara Koosa. Polly Hartley. Leslie Smith.

Even though the fall season did not turn out as planned, the team had high hopes for their expanded 11 game spring season. They had been working hard to improve so that their spring season was a complete success. According to David van den Berg, we are putting our trust in physical conditioning and look for a good solid program in the spring. The team was led by captains Brian McSherry and Eric Thompson. Thompson was the high scorer for the team during the fall season. The Furman goal was defended by goalie Dan Sheehan. In addition, the Lacrosse team benefited from the return of some experienced players: Mark Eckels. Tee Evans, Michael Tropea. Bob Jung, David van den Berg, and Eric Clapp. These veterans accompanied by hard-working rookies united in an effort to make the spring season their best ever.

CONCERN FOR STUDENTS Throughout the year AFS, the Association of Furman Students, had concerned itself in the lives of students. A major issue this year was deciding where students would sit in the stadium, and votes were taken concerning the issue during elections for AFS members. Another point of discussion among members was the revamping of the student center. Although AFS split one-half of the student activities fee fund with FUSAB. it had used some of this money to organize cooperation between AFS, FUSAB. and RHA, whose goals often seemed to be the same, service to the student. Other ideas discussed during meetings included new parking for commuters and a type of credit card system in the dining hall. Through Furman’s Job Development Advisory Council (JDAC) students were able to gain useful experience for future employment. The Council found that the easiest way to accomplish this was through Furman alumni who were willing to hire students to work in the business world. Through the successful efforts of the Furman University Student Activities Board (FUSAB) students were provided with many choices of entertainment all year. FUSAB scheduled performers such as Carl Rosen. Tom DeLuca. Barbara Bailey Hutchinson, and 1964 ... as the Beatles. In addition to these performers, FUSAB sponsored the showing of many movies including The Untouchables , No Way Out , and Fatal Attraction . A traditional activity was the Homecoming Dance, and the fireworks display and Horseplay during the Homecoming festivities. Another dance sponsored by FUSAB was TWIRP. In February the Board celebrated 60 s week with such events as tie-dying and sixties' movies. Besides scheduling and organizing the various events at Furman members of FUSAB went to the Regional and National Conventions of the National Association of Campus Activities. Officers include; Rachel Knight, sec; Amy Moore, tres; Jay Burkes, historian, Aaron Goodwin, its sponsor was Lydia Arledge. Church Related Vocations also allowed students to gain experience in their chosen occupation besides dialogue. fellowship and inspiration the organization provided service to the community in the form of internships. One student, Chris Ferrell, acted as an assistant Chaplain at the Shriner's Hospital fall term. The club offered a chance to speak with Church officials and gain insight into the philosophies and workings of a church regardless of the denomination. all students were welcome.

FCA members enjoyed a weekend retreat in Aw-anitta Valley. IVCF president. Jill Locher. is swept off her feet by friends Lance Tyner. Ronnie Franke. and Chris Ferrell. Furman University offered students of various religious preferences an opportunity to find fellowship and spiritual support. Religious groups offered dynamic elements. Among the many groups was one that strived to organize and coordinate the activities of others and to generate a feeling of unity, open comunication, and understanding. It also served as a bank of sorts between the AFS and the clubs, handling funds. This group was the Religious Council. The council was composed of organizations. the Secretary of Religious Affairs of AFS. and the chaplains. It met bimonthly. Officers were president, Andrew Hinton, vice president. David Delk, secretary, Amy Leurssen, treasurer, Christy Andrews. Their main project was a Rock-a-thon to raise money for hunger. Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship (IV) helped students to grow in Christ through Bible study and fellowship. The goals of IV were to share Christ on campus as well as to help in the world mission of the church while becoming more mature disciples. Members met on alternate Mondays for games, singing, speakers, and fellowship. Small groups met once every week for Bible study. FUN This past fall a weekend retreat was held in the mountains. President was Jill Locher. Among the well known organizations at Furman, Fellowship of Christian Athletes was open to anyone, whether or not they were an athlete. Its aim was to emphasize allegiance to Christ and the joy of athletics through fellowship, Bible study, witnessing, and intramurals. Men's and women's Bible studies were held during the week and a large group meeting gathered on Thursday nights at nine. During this meeting, members sing and prayed together, while becoming closer to Christ. There were various skits and speakers also. During fall break a retreat was held in the mountains and those who went had a great time, making new friends who shared their goals to learn more about Christ. The World Discipleship Association (WDA) was another organization at Furman devoted to the work of Christ. The club was open to all students and emphasized personal discipleship through Bible study and fellowship meetings as well as retreats. This large group met every Monday night at eight, and its president was David Delk. FCA 121 BAPTIST STUDENT UNION m Front Row K. Hogsed. L McLoese. K. Hutson. L Horton, T.B. Krueg. J Roberto P. Peek.

Wesley ■ SPIRITUAL SUPPORT THROUGH FRIENDSHIPS The Baptist Student Union stressed as its goals the personal growth spiritually of its members and the strength and unity in Christ among its members. President, Karen Hutson, stated that in her opinion BSU was the most versatile organization at Furman and can be characterized by its spirit of acceptance. This acceptance was shown by the welcoming of students who were not Baptist. BSU sponsored a missions project and was the only club to sponsor a summer mission project thru the state-wide BSU. Members participated and served the community in three CESC mini-parks. A trip to Charleston during Spring Break, working for Habitat for Humanity, a ski trip. Scavenger hunt, road trips, a volleyball marathon, and a Hide and Seek game in Player Hall were some of the fun projects in which members grew closer and rejoiced together in the spirit of Christ. BSU members present a skit at tbe«r talent show during their spring retreat BSU members perform the Good Samaritan' skit at tbe.r retreat at Camp Ridgehaven. Westminster Fellowship was a Presbyterian affiliated religious group whose goal was to learn more about the Lord. During 1987-1988 the group studied Ephesians and the Minor Prophets. The group met for Bible study on Sundays. Members participated in a retreat and a service project in which they painted the lobby of the United Missions building. Members of Canterbury met Thursday evenings. The club was an Episcopal group of students who gathered to encourage each other to grow in Christ and provided an atmosphere where those of the same idealogy could come together. Canterbury members met for Eucharist, for education, and for fun. To bring the students closer together, the club went snow skiing and held discussion groups. The Methodist-affiliated group, Wesley Foundation, had approximately forty-five members that met on Wednesday night. Their meetings consisted of a time for prayer requests. Bible studies, and discussion of Christian perspec- tives on various issues. The group reached out to the community through many service activities. Wesley went to Charleston for Habitat for Humanity. They also worked with the Greenville Community Home and participated in the Crop Walk. Wesley had a Destination Unknown party where they ended up at the Columbia Zoo. The club traveled to Maggie Valley for a retreat and in the spring they went to the beach. Also bringing the members closer. Wesley played in the innertube water polo intramurals. President Dave Cox said the difference Wesley made was because of the club's divserity. CANTERBURY 123 ASSEMBLY OF GOD STUDENT FELLOWSHIP FRIENDSHIP AND SPIRITUAL SUPPORT Many students reached for a group where they could feel at home and comfortable. The Lutheran Student Association, Newman Apostolate. Assembly of God Student Fellowship, and the Gospel Ensemble, all provided the common bonds of friendship among club members. The Lutheran Student Association, with about twenty-two members, met every other Monday night to share values. beliefs, and friendship through devotionals and prayer. Pastor Bob Coon helped the group s advisor, Dr. Shirley Ritter, plan activities to bring the members closer. Besides dinners or skating as activities. LSU travelled to camp named Lutheridge for their spring retreat. Members of LSU also reached out to help the community by participating in a Rock-a-thon and the March of Dimes' Walk-a-thon. To enrich the members. LSU also invited several guest speakers. The Newman Apostolate provided the opportunity for Catholics to get together to attend mass, which was held each Sunday evening on campus. Approximately fifty students attended the mass on campus each week. The group was assisted by Father Tom Vigliotta. To reach out to their community. Newman invited the youth group from a local Catholic church to attend their Sunday night mass and to join them in a pizza party afterward. The club also extended the invitation to come to Sunday night mass to Catholic Furman faculty members. During 1987-88. Newman Apostolate members enjoyed two retreats. One retreat called the twilight retreat, was for one night and involved mass, dinner, a movie, fun, and fellowship. Their second retreat in the spring was spent in Maggie Valley. The Tuesday night meeting of the Assembly of God Student Fellowship involved a time for sharing, worship, and prayer. The group focused on fellowship. evangelism, witnessing, and disci- pleship. To establish a strong bond among club members, the Assembly of God Student Fellowship had a prayer time every morning for an hour. The group also attended the Southeastern retreat and went to a retreat at Assembly Acres, near Anderson. South Carolina. The club’s main goal for 1987-88 was to build a strong base from which to reach out to the community and to the university. Another method of worship was through song. Furman’s gospel Ensemble brought together students who loved to sing. The club possessed about twelve members, some of which participated in the Furman Band or Furman Singers, and others who sang in choirs in their churches at home. The Gospel Ensemble not only produced their big concert in May for Furman University, but also visited local churches, and other colleges spreading the message of God through song. 124 ASSEMBLY OF GOD LUTHERAN STUDENT ASSOCIATION Front Row: Amy Luerssen.

Members of these clubs put time and effort into organizing helpful activities that not only benefited others, but also enriched their lives. Collegiate Educational Service Corps was based on volunteers willing to make a difference by sharing their time. CESC was the largest community service project at Furman. Over 1,000 students participated in some phase of CESC's program with sixty-five agencies. To benefit the children of the community. CESC held May Day Play Day. a carnival on Furman's campus. Another scheduled event for CESC involved a Christmas Toy Drive. Toys were donated and collected by Furman students, faculty and staff and then were distributed among the agencies. Time spent serving others enhanced a student’s liberal arts experience and showed him that uniting his efforts with others could make an impact on at least a small part of the world. During 1988 the Council for Exceptional Children, a professional organization, worked with handicapped instead of gifted children. CEC consisted of Special Education and Education majors. At the State convention. CEC learned how to deal with specific problems children face such as substance abuse. During the year the girls helped with the Special Olympics on campus, donated books to the Washington Center, and provided the opportunity for parents of handicapped children to leave their child with CEC for a day. In March the club applied for a national charter. This year the Peace Alliance conducted a week of events in which the group sponsored lectures to further the Alliance s goal of raising student's consciousness concerning nuclear testing and the banning of it. This spring the group participated in a nation-wide seminar in Washington, D.C., known as Lobby Day. The seminar gave members the opportunity to meet with congressmen to discuss SDI and the abolishment of nuclear testing. Officers for 1987- 1988 were Brit Elliot (President). Sandra Sheppard (Vice-president), Carl Brown (Treasurer), and Roger Walker (Secretary). The Hunger Alliance had ten members that helped with hunger on a local, national and international level. During the year the club sponsored the Oxfam fast on campus, went to Crop Walks to raise money and helped with soup kitchens in the community. The club worked with Bread for the World, a national lobbying group that passes legislation to help hunger. The Hunger Alliance also sponsored a child in India named Sufal. A major event for the club was hunger alert week which included speakers, professors, and films that informed the students of the problem of hunger. Jennifer Roberts works with kids through CESC.

Elizabeth Rudd and Lara Gilmore, enjoy he snow. A popular word for Furman was “service ', and those involved in the following clubs exemplified the meaning of the term. Although the students participating in the organizations gained from their experiences, the helping hand they extended was appreciated by others more than they would ever know. More than service, these students offered their friendship, and to those far away from home this was a priceless gift. The students discussed above were not only involved as RA’s or FRAD's, but were members of RHA and acted as Dialogue leaders. Dialogue, a popular program for freshmen, placed them in groups of 12 with a faculty member and upperclass student. During orientation they met in the home of the faculty member as dinner guests, and for the following weeks some continued to meet for fun and different outings. This year the program “Choices was introduced as part of Dialogue and was held at Camp Greenville. The RHA consisted of representatives from each hall and was responsible for many social activities on campus. Such activities included the annual My Tie dance, the showing of several movies like Fletch and All of Me. a mime performance. and a program on the dangers of date rape. Besides planning informative programs and fun events, the RHA served the student body by providing various household items. One of the benefits of being a student in the association was the chance to meet so many more people and to be of service to them. One of RH A s successes this year was the installment of ice machines in the men’s dorms. Another group helping to make life in the dorms more enjoyable were the RA's who stretched out a hand of friendship to everyone in their hall. The RA acted as a source of information to new students and as an older brother or sister to many freshmen. The duties of an RA were to enforce university policy, to work in the RA office, and to attend RA meetings once every two weeks. In addition to the work Involved was the opportunity to form friendships through an RA retreat and during orientation. As well as an RA there were two FRADS on each hall. FRADS selected the hall’s theme and created the decorations, but the most important duty of a FRAD was to help the freshmen adjust to residence life, being away from home, and the academic rigors of classes at Furman. FRADS also cooperated with FRADS from other halls to promote brother-sister hall unity, which was an important part of the first few weeks of school. RHA 129 130 INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. SENIOR ORDER.

Adjusting to college life is hard enough with out having the obstacle of being in a foreign country. The International Students club helped foreign students become a part of Furman life. Besides interacting with many of the language clubs. International Students met bimonthly to discuss and share their countries’ cultures, politics, and foreign affairs. Omicron Delta Kappa represented a honorary organization that included juniors and seniors who had displayed not only participation in extra-curricular activities, but also academic achievement. ODK was primarily involved in service projects. QUATERNION TYPIFIES FURMAN STUDENTS Fifteen junior women are chosen each year for membership in the honor society of Senior Order for the following year as seniors. They were selected because they fulfilled the requirements of scholarship, leadership, and university service. Senior men who are chosen to be part of an elite group known as Quaternion showed exceptional character, leadership. and loyalty to Furman. Established at Furman in 1903. four juniors and four seniors are chosen for membership in this honor society. OMICRON DELTA KAPPA Front Row: Sue Campbell. Carol Daniels. Amy Schrieffor.

STRIVING FOR STUDENTS GAIN IN FIELDS OF The Communications Board was the governing body for the four publications on campus which were the newspaper, the Echo, the radio station, and the yearbook. The Board helped with many aspects of the publications, such as the selection of editors and approval of a budget. It was comprised of three faculty members, four students, the four editors from the publications and their advisors. Pi Mu Epsilon honored those students who displayed high scholastic ability in mathematics. In the spring, Pi Mu Epsilon hosted guest speakers from math-related fields. 132 COMMUNICATIONS BOARD PI MU EPSILON PSI CHI Front Row: Mary Grace Beasley, Robert KHliam, Chuck Sox, Scott Derrick.

Through the constant support and direction of editor Lori Christensen, the 1988 Bonhomie came together making a cohesive and fun-filled publication. Utilizing the experience of approximately twenty students, co-editors, and staff, Lori developed pages of memories captured on film and in words in such areas as student life. copy, organizations, sports, and photography. After designing layouts, photographing events and people, and gathering information, the staff presented a book, representing the best and diversity of Furman life. Another Furman publication whose success could be attributed to diligent work was the campus newspaper. The Paladin. Ronda Rabon, editor-in-chief, and her fifteen co-editors informed and entertained students with every issue. The Paladin printed campus news, current affairs, editorials, pictures, and polls. This relatively indpendent newspaper continued its status of being efficient and informative in each issue. Furman’s literary magazine. The Echo, reached new heights during 1987-88. Their budget increase was the basis for a more dynamic, lengthy, and accessible magazine. As opposed to one issue offered during 1986-87, the Echo staff produced three innovative issues this year. The variety of literature ranged from political and philosophical interviews, book and record reviews, to a humor section. With Pete Gwin as editor-in-chief and a dedicated staff behind him, The Echo soared ahead this year with a firm direction and a promising future. WPLS also experienced an exciting and energetic year. Furman's student-run radio station received new equipment along with a new location. The sta- tion is now broadcasted in the Paladen of the Student Center. The station possessed roughly forty-five disc jockeys playing a variety of music to appeal to a wide range of tastes. The selections covered many decades, but the emphasis was primarily on progressive rock. WPLS also hosted musical shows on special occasions. WPLS was directed during the 1987-88 school year by Tim Black. Robert Rhudy, and Susan Baldwin. WPLS j ] Front Row: Elizabeth Nesbitt, Elise Roberts. Carol Springs, Tim Black, Robert Rhudy.

DIVERSIFICATION, A The Organization of African Unity was led by Dr. Donald Gordon of the political science department. Each year. Furman trains about twenty-five students to compete at Howard University in Washington D.C. at the national model of Africa's version of the United Nations. These del-gates, who by the time of the March competition had gone through seven months of intensive study of African politics. went to the Model OAU to debate resolutions, make speeches,and have a good time. Furman's OAU has won six national championships in the past nine years. Hosting various speakers, traveling to area exhibits, visiting the local museum, and even relaxing at an annual spring picnic were all among the activities of the Arts Students League. The organization offered a chance for students and professors to come together both for fun and to learn more about the art world. One highlight of 1988 for art students was the opportunity to help Furman host a convention of the Southern Graphics Association with over a hundred Southern Printmakers in attendance. 136 DAVID LETTERMAN CLUB Front Row: Julie Privett.

FURMAN ASSET The David Letterman Club certainly possessed a diversification within the club and with a mailing list containing two hundred students. Club members gathered on Thursday nights in the Judson gameroom to enjoy each others company and the entertainment of David Letter-man. Members from the club participated in Co-Rec intramurals and put together a College Bowl team. The club also went to the beach during spring term. For 1987-1988 | Chris Cox was the president of the club. When asked about the club's goal. Hellen Bryan responded that the Student League for Black Culture strove to create a cultural environment for minorities and effectively integrate it with the Furman community. SLBC’s major event during the year was the Black History Week which brought various Gospel choirs and speakers to campus and incorporated the observation of Martin Luther King Day. Also by working with the administration office. SLBC sponsored a minorities weekend where they showed perspective black students around Furman.

To walk in on students in a Free Enterprise meeting, a person may have been confused if he heard members discussing total revenues or aggregate supply. The Latin Club during the year perpetrated the study of that language. Finally, the Debate Society and the Drama Club dealt with manipulating the spoken word to either emphasize a point in discussion or relate a certain dialect during a dramatic performance. The Debating Society here at Furman was a group eager to argue. It was open to all students who. once members. would enjoy many activities. This year on November 16. the Debating Society played host and competitor to the British National Debate Team. At the end of October, the Society participated in the Inter-Collegiate Legislative Assembly at DePaul University. Later in the year, they competed in a model student Senate at Stetson University. Throughout the year, the group participated in local debates. The faculty sponsor was Dr. Charles Delancey. Alpha Theta Alpha is a new club to the Furman campus. It was formed as a branch of the Furman Theatre Guild. They acted as a service group and a student organization. The President was Mary Shiver; Bryan Kraft. Vice-President; Lauren Linn. Secretary; Todd Richardson. Treasurer; and Lee Kear, Historian. Many activities were planned for the year. In coordinance with the production of A Company of Wayward Saints. ABA held a Masquerade Ball since the play was a comedia, or a mask play. For May Day Play Day the club put on a children's musical. Besides their own projects. Alpha Theta Alpha helped the Guild with their plays. Students in Free Enterprise was a nationally recognized group that stated its purpose as making society more aware of how the free market system works. This year, this was achieved through a program of mock interviews for Furman University students. The Latin Club at Furman presented an honor society for those students maintaining a 4.0 in classes above Latin 21. A majority of the club's members were Furman faculty who had joined a Latin Club in their colleges. The group under the instruction of Dr. Ray Lindahl had been at Furman for years. The main activity for the club involved the initiation into the club when students are freshmen. DEBATE SOCIETY Front Row Davin Wolter. Rick Hall, Chip Collinson.

Student Legislature, the Democratic Forum, College Republicans, and the Political Science Club, offered students the chance to experience and discuss the political problems, policies, and practices of our government and those of other countries. The South Carolina Student Legislature was a group active in the law making process. During the fall of 1987. eight delegates participated in the State Fall Session where they won Best Delegation and member. Sarah Eberly. was a runner-up for best legislator. The group met through the year to draw up legislation in preparation for a statewide convention in Columbia. There, they would introduce bills, debate them, pass bills and send them to the governor to be passed or vetoed. The 1987-88 president was Chris Cox and their faculty advisor was Carol Daniels. The Democratic Forum at Furman began two years ago in order to facilitate political dialogue on campus. President Chris Cox hoped that the group will grow and become an active part of student life, especially with the upcoming Presidential elections. One purpose of the Forum was to bring speakers to the Furman campus. Jane Gephart, wife of the Democratic Presidential candidate Gephart. was one of the speakers. The Forum hoped to also have Nick Theodore. the Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, and Senator Ernest Hollings come and speak. Chris Cox would like to see the Democratic Forum really grow to the issues. The group is informal and loose-knit but also a very politically conscious group that can really make a difference on our campus. The Political Science Club began in January. 1987. and grew out of a concern expressed by a number of political science majors that there needs to be a club geared to students’ interests, career preparation, and exposure of the Furman community to vital issues, rather than to promoting partisan candidates. Therefore, the club was a nonpartisan organization which was open to political science majors, those interested in becoming majors, and those who otherwise just had a strong interest in political science. Activities ranged from student debates. debates, films, panel discussions. professor series, speakers, and social events. This fall the club spon- sored the first annual Panel Discussion of Furman Political Science Alumni. The purpose of this event was to offer students an opportunity to hear about a variety of different political science related careers from Furman graduates. College Republicans concentrated on gaining an awareness of ideas presented in a political party from which a student could form his own opinions. The club presented various speakers and had presidential candidates speak, such as Senator Dole. During 1987-88. the College Republicans had approximately seventy-two students on their mailing list. Members of the club often hand out information about candidates or offered their time to questions while sitting at a booth. The most important aspect of the club was that it kept students informed of political candidates decisions and opinions. Mary Spear and Davin Welter each state their opinions. Steve Baines explains his position to John Wa� d during a Political Science Club meeting. 140 COLLEGE REPUBLICANS REPUBLICANS DEMOCRATIC FORUM Front Row: Leigh Ann McLaughlin, Emily Barrett, Sarah Eberly.

THE REALMS OF SCIENCE Students participating in Beta Chi, Geology Club, American Chemical Society. and Society of Physics Students enjoyed learning about the mysteries presented by science and the discoveries in their perspective fields. Members of each club gained valuable experiences working laboratories and with professors. Beta Chi was a group of students who were described by Lori Siemens as laid back and fond of a good time. The group did many things together, such as a trip to Bull Island in the spring, and with other groups, such as their rapelling trip with the ROTC. Their major fundraiser was their plant sale held in the Student Center. Beta Chi also enjoyed their annual Christmas party plus their meetings every month where they enjoyed pizza and a movie on occasion. Besides their outings Beta Chi, an academic organization. brought guest speakers to Furman. This year Rudy Mancke lectured on the Natural History of South Carolina. Annually. Beta Chi gives an Excellence Award to a junior or senior with a high grade point average and who best exemplified their organization. The officers for the school year were Lori Siemens (President). Kim Opperman (Vice-President). Beth Hampton (Secretary), and Joanne McGregor (Treasurer). A very special thanks went to the Beta Chi advisor. Dr. Teska, who was in his tenth year as advisor. The Society of Physics Students was a nationally recognized club led by President Miriam Weber and advised by Dr. Turner. The Vice-President was Keith Hogshead, and the Secretary Treasurer was Robert Williams. The group enjoyed interacting with each other while simultaneously learning about physics. The club took star gazing camping trips which combined learning and fun. The Furman Geology Club was loosely affiliated with the Society of Mining Engineers American Institute of Mining Engineers through Dr. Sargeant, who is a member of that organization. The club met at least once a term to give students information concerning scholarships and conventions. The group provided transportation to geological conventions for those students who wished to attend or to present papers. The Geology Club also sponsored lectures. about four a year, which spoke to the students about current research and job opportunities. The American Chemical Society had monthly meetings throughout 1987-88. The club brought various speakers to campus, such as David Roses from Duke, Ken Goldsby from Florida State, and Harry Gray from California Technical College. Numerous activities and trips filled ACS members’ calendars. The club went on several tours including those to Hoerchst Celanese. Milliken. and Dupont. Members also attended ACS conventions. In November 1987 they participated in the Southeastern Convention in Orlando. Florida and in the National Convention in April 1988 in Asheville. North Carolina. ACS also presented a Magic Show by the Demonstration group to elementary, middle, and high schools. At a Beta Chi outing. Kim Opperman and Joanne McGregory prepare french bread. ROTC cadets teach Beta Chi members how to tie a rapelling seat at Glassy Mountain. SOCIETY OF PHYSICS STUDENTS Left to right: Dr. David Turner. Robert Williams. Patrick Smyre. Tommy Davis.

During the past forty-one years the Furman Singers had become recognized as one of the South s finest tour choirs. Furman Singers presented on-campus concerts and other performances throughout the school year. In 1983 and 1987, the Singers were selected by audition to perform for the national convention of the American Choral Directors Association, an honor reserved for the finest choirs in the nation. The Singers also performed for the South Carolina Baptist Convention, the South Carolina Music Educators Association, the Southern Division of the ACDA. and the South Carolina Intercollegiate Choral Festival. Since 1974 the Singers have conducted biennial summer tours. On February 26 through March 6. 1988, the Singers toured Toccoa. Annison. Birmingham. Mobile, New Orleans, Pensacola. Jacksonville, Augusta, and Anderson. Between July 26 and August 10. 1988. the Furman Singers went on a European tour of Northern Italy, Austria and Switzerland. During 1987-88. the Furman Singers was a 102 voice ensemble with membership by audition only. I � ' f % - i Soprano: fc. Alexander. S- Brown, fc Chambless. 0. Oaros, K Gibson. A Goodwin. V. Haas. L.

This most elect choral group at Furman presented annual concerts on the campus as well as occasional guest performances off campus for civic groups, church services, and community concert series. On May 5.1988, the Chamber Singers presented a Spring Concert. The Chamber Singers' repe-toire included madrigals, cantatas, partsongs. and contemporary vocal chamber music. Besides these, the group performed show tunes, vocal jazz, and biennial sell-out performances of the music of P.D.Q. Bach. University Chorus was a sixty-five voice ensemble directed by Carl Beard. They presented Fall and Spring concerts and joined the Furman Singers and Orchestra to perform Handel s Messiah in December and Haydn's Creation in May. The Chorus sang a variety of quality choral music from all periods as well as popular music and spirituals. Auditions for University Chorus were for voice quality and placement, and to preserve a sectional balance. The University Symphony Orchestra maintained its tradition of being composed solely of college undergraduates. The Orchestra had approximately seventy-five members and was under the direction of Dr. Dan Boda. Arrayed in five concerts presented throughout the year were a broad range of traditional music, as well as opera. ORCHESTRA 145 DANCE TEAM Front Row: Pamela Grams. He«en Bryan.

BAND AN ARRAY OF TALENT ing Hellen Bryan as Captain and Alicia Shawn as Co-Captain. In August 1987 the girls attended a summer camp at East Tennessee State University where they earned a super-superior ribbon for their fight song performances. Besides performing at every football game, the team danced at two basketball games. The girls put in approximately four hours of practice per week. Through a joint effort to create routines, the Dance Team worked to make entertaining dances with changes in formations and innovative dance steps. JAZZ ENSEMBLE Jaz2 EnsembSe members improve their techniques through practice. Working together to produce school spirit, the Marching Band and the Dance Team supported Furman as a whole and especially the football team. The Furman Marching Band, consisting of 150 students, demanded hours of practice and patience. Students volunteered to be a part of the Marching Band and thus, demonstrated their motivation and energy. The Band practiced roughly five hours a week during football season to perfect their executions and develop their sound. The members of the Band also presented the Band Extravaganza during Parents' Weekend. The Band was honored in 1988 as one of three college bands to premiere Jenson's new literature. It was recognized through its performances on the 1988 promotional album distributed by Jenson's publications. On the road the Marching Band entertained audiences at professional football games, Disney World, and numerous exhibitions in this region. The Jazz Ensemble, an extension of the Marching Band, educated student musicians about jazz music. The Jazz Ensembles each gave one concert per term. Students learned about jazz styles and techniques for performing jazz while perfecting their talents through weekly practices. The Dance Team supported the band and the football team by providing visual aspects through half-time shows. The team consisted of eight girls includ- JAZZ ENSEMBLE 147 ROWING CLUB Rowing Team Members: Sean Minis. Jamie Brown. Eric Reed. Clay Clifton. Todd Boyd. Stove Cover. O.K. McCall. Greg Chilsolm.

The Fillies were the official hostesses of the Athletic Department and the Paladin Club. The Furman Fillies had many responsibilities as hostesses. The girls put in long hours before each football game and then worked in the Press Box and the President's Bex during the games. Besides doing chores or running errands for the coaches, the Fillies took athletic recruits around campus. The Furman Fillies not only supported school spirit, but also worked on the public relations between the Athletic Department and students and between prospective athletes and the campus. The Rowing Club came together for the first time in 1988 with the help of Sean Mills and Jamie Brown. Helping Brown and Mills to coordinate, teach, and train the club were part-time coaches Jene Brees. Lyle Wyte. and Todd Ackley. The rowing season began in March and continued until early November. Among the club's competition were crews from Duke. UNC-Wilmington. and UNC-Chapel Hill. The crew also had a regetta in Atlanta and one at Oakridge. The President, Sean Mills, predicted the club's strength will increase once the rowers gain experience and technique. 148 ROWING CLUB FURMAN FILLIES Front Row; Karen Hannah. Susan Herdt.

TOGETHER To better Furman University, students gathered to discuss and organize improvements for the social clubs on campus. Inter-Fraternity Council and Inter-Club Council sought for these improvements while establishing communication among the diverse social groups. Along with President Mike Massey and advisor Carol Daniels. IFC contained two representatives and the president from each of the seven fraternal societies. IFC established guidelines for the rush season and coordinated all inter-fraternity activities. As the governing body for Furman's six social clubs. Inter-Club Council also determined the standards for fall and winter rushes. Two representatives from each club and their presidents joined ICC President Kay Rodgers and advisor Carol Daniels in maintaining harmony among the clubs. ICC also organized a fall picnic to kick off the rush season. INTER-CLUB COUNCIL Front Row: Diane Webb. Kim Poteat. Sydney Feeiey, Christie Knubei. Mary McFarland. Leslie Williamson.

Since their charter in 1938. Mu Phi Epsilon has strived for musical excellence and has demonstrated the love in their sisterhood. All twenty-three members met the necessary grade-point average and music theory requirement during rush to belong to Mu Phi Epsilon. During 1987-88. the club scheduled a lecture series for interested music students to hear reputable musicians talk about stage etiquette, instrumental upkeep, and application to the right graduate schools. Lea Dor-sett. Mu Phi Epsilon president, said. This provides something valuable for music students that cannot be offered in classes. The annual Viennese Ball, held each winter, was an exciting event for the sisters who enjoy waltzing Vien-nese-style. The sisters also participate in many service projects including singing at nursing homes. Christmas carolling, and a music theory program at Tabernacle Baptist Church.

PHI MU ALPHA Furman's Gamma Eta chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia was chartered in 1938 by Dupre Rhame. Phi Mu Alpha represents a national professional men’s music fraternity which encourages the development of excellence and creativity in music. The thirty-five brothers in the club share a common interest in music, a care for the society, and a desire for personal growth. Phi Mu Alpha participates in a wide range of activities on campus. The club sponsored another successful Talent Showcase presented during Parents' Weekend. The brothers also enjoy serenading the women's dorms at Christmas and on Valentine s Day, and holding various concerts throughout the year. Each spring Phi Mu Alpha awards a scholarship to a senior music major. One of their newest projects has been to help maintain the bell tower on campus. Adding to the club's active calendars, their beach weekend and rush parties help the brothers become a stronger club while seeking new members. The Gamma Eta chapter constantly strives to attain higher achievements in music, brotherhood, and scholarship through its goals and activities. Phi Mu Alphas enjoy themselves at their spring formal in Spartanburg. not pictured: Renee Knight, sweetheart. BROTHERS IN ETERNITY The Brothers in Eternity fraternity was founded in the spring of 1980 as a social and service organization devoted to the development of its members' spiritual, academic, athletic, and social lives. Following the goals prescribed by the founding purpose, the brothers aim to develop higher standards of scholarship, sportsmanship, leadership, social activities, community service, and personal relationships. The brotherhood is based on the principles of Christianity and provides many opportunities for spiritual and personal growth. The brothers hold a weekly Bible study with their little sisters. enjoy a mini-park at Pendleton Street Baptist Church, offer a weekly Bible study at the Blueridge Prison Release Center, and run an annual Bed Race to benefit the Greenville Rescue Mission. Their social program includes an annual Fall Beach Party on Lake Furman, a Fall Formal, and Sweetheart and Semi-Formal Dances in the spring, along with the traditional House Party. This year also marked the second annual BE-KA party, continuing a tradition began last year. The brotherhood was especially honored this year with the induction of its second honorary brother. The first honorary brother was Mr. R.E. Littlejohn. The brotherhood continued that tradition of excellence this year by inducting Mr. Tom Hartness into the brotherhood on Dec. 6. 1987. The Brothers in Eternity fraternity was formed in order to provide greater diversity within the fraternity system of Furman University. Today, that goal continues to be among the most important goals of the fraternity. Sweetheart: Jo Johnson. B.E. Seated on Tabte: Chuck Sox. Mike McGuirt. Dr Joe King. Bret Clark. Greg Welmaker.

CYGNUS The Cygnus fraternity, founded in 1985. is dedicated to attracting a diverse group of men who have a common belief in the ideals of Love. Truth, and Honor. Two years after receiving its national charter. Cygnus has proven itself to be a leader among the top fraternities at Furman through its community service work, academic standards, participation in the social scene, and in athletics. Community service is a priority of the brotherhood of Cygnus. and this commitment is evident in this participation in service oriented projects such as working with Habitat for Humanity in Greenville, sponsoring a road race for the Shriner's Childrens' Hospital, as well as participating in many of the CESC programs, of which are led by brothers and little sisters of Cygnus. Several of the brothers are in positions of leadership throughout the campus and in organizations such as AFS. FUSAB. Residence Life. FCA, the Bonhomie, the Echo, the Paladin. Some have previously been class presidents and representatives. and two of the brothers are volunteer fireman for the Duncan Chapel Fire Department. Each year Cygnus sponsors many campus-wide social functions including Grafitti Party. Super Nova, and The Knock Down Drag Out Rock n Roll Party. In addition. the brothers and little sisters participate in numerous other functions such as Homecoming. White Rose Formal. Boxer Bowtie, House Party, as well as mixers with the sororities. Also, this year Cygnus was the winner of the second annual Homecoming Spirit competition. In past years Cygnus has boasted varsity athletics in football, soccer, and basketball. Currently, the brotherhood is developing a strong intramural program. The brothers of Cygnus Fraternity strive for excellence in all of their endeavors. both collectively and individually. Each working for the betterment of the other and our community. Sweetheart: Lisa Kennedy. SIGS 1987-88 had been a year for change among the Sigs. Having changed their name, their national affiliation, and their constitution, the Sigs had been re-organizing themselves to better exemplify the ideals on which they were founded in Spring of 1982. The Sigs shared common beliefs in friendship, justice, and learning, but maintain and encouraged differences among brothers in temperaments, talents, and convictions. Proof of their diversity lay in the different campus organizations of which many Sigs were leaders or actively involved in. Some of these included ROTC, the Communications Board. The Furman Theatre Guild, WPLS, FUSAB, the AIDS task force. RHA. The ECHO, Baseball. Tennis, and Lacrosse. The Sigs strove to be men of good character in the Greenville community as well. This year they worked with the Greenville home for Battered Women, walked in and helped sponsor the CROP Walk for Hunger, sponsored an under-privileged child through the Save the Children Program, worked weekly with the CESC mini-parks program. and co-ordinated an Alcohol Awareness Program. As a social outlet from the academic side of university life (the Sigs boasted the second highest grade point average among social fraternities on campus), the Sigs have sponsored the highly successful Nuts and Bolts Party in the fall and Winter Wipeout as well as the major closed parties such as Beach Weekend, White Rose Party, and Dover Party. It was with ambitious purposes that the Sigs continued to change and grow. Sweetheart: Erin Scanlon. Sigs. Front Row: James Looper. Justin Brent. Paul Ku Jelko. Bruce Haynes, John Hayden.

Our fraternity stressed individuality of the brothers, and we tried to provide a good atmosphere for self-development. We had a very supportive alumni association and the largest little sister program on the campus, both of which benefitted the fraternity. Many of the brothers participated in CESC and Habitat for Humanity. Among our proudest achievements was the All-Sports trophy that we won for the ninth consecutive year. Our brothers were among the University's top leaders in academics, athletics, and service activities. Highlights of the school year were Homecoming. Paddy Murphy. Mountain Weekend. FAC's, Theme Parties. Spring Bash, Sweetheart Formats, and House Party. Sweetheart: Sabrina Bennett. THE KNIGHTS ETERNAL The Knights Eternal is a fraternity that continually strives to become better while clinging to jne age-old traditions that have brought the group to the fore-front of Furman life. The Knights Eternal seek undergraduates that best exemplify their traditional ideals of love, charity, and esteem. Their motto unity through diversity is evident in the close brotherhood. Membership includes men from South Carolina, Texas, Florida, New York, and even Wales and France! Interests are as varied as hometowns. WPLS disc jockeys, pre-med and philosophy majors, varsity trainers, and ROTC cadets. Brothers are also involved in many varsity sports. Each year The Knights Eternal spend much of their time in traditional activities. Twice a year a brotherhood retreat called blues is held which is unlike any other retreat. Also, each fall, the brothers serenade their little sisters at Christmastime in honor of their sweetheart. Red Carnation Ball is a formal dance with annual ceremonies that highlight the fall term. Like all fraternities, the group rents a hotel for Beach Weekend each spring. Upholding their tradition of charity. the brotherhood plans one service project per academic term. Major projects in recent years have been the annual clean-up for the fall for Greenville festival, fundraising for the United Way, and working for the Greenville library. The Knights Eternal have succeeded in their quest to combine so many elements into one unit. Most importantly. the fraternity offers undergraduates the opportunity to meet new people, to grow emotionally, and to learn what cannot be learned in the classroom - how to be yourself and to accept others.

The interests of the fraternity are as varied as its members, for at any time the members may be hunting, fishing, skiing in the Colorado mountains, marathon biking, camping, or, here at Furman, spinning disks for WPLS, playing in the band, doing art sculptures, or cooking a whole pig for a fraternity get-together. Brothers are also involved in most on-campus organizations, including most honorary and professional societies. as well as ROTC. AFS. and CESC. The Pikapps devote part of their time to raising money for a national philanthropy, Play Units for the Severly Handicapped, units designed to help handicapped children learn about and how to deal with our world. The Pikapps annually throw Furman's most popular theme party. Casino Night. Another annual tradition is the Pikapp Aphrodisiac party, which will not be explained. The brothers and little sisters take one weekend each year for Getaway party, to forget about life's troubles, and each spring Rose Ball, the Pikapps annual formal dance, commemorates the brotherhood found in the organization. Like all the fraternities, the group hits Myrtle Beach for House Party. Over the years the Pikapps have been at Furman, the friendship and consideration towards the members and those outside the fraternity have served to unite its members together like nothing else could. Sweetheart: Brenda Leaird. THE ORDER OF R.E.L. The Order of R.E.L. is one of the oldest fraternities on campus and continues to follow the Southern values, traditions and the fighting spirit of the Old South laid down by their founding fathers. The men of the Order are influenced by the moral character. Christian faith, chivalry exemplified by their spiritual founder. General Robert E. Lee. R.E.L. has in the past, and will continue in the future, aspired to the spirit of the Old South. While the Order is small, it is a strong and close knit group and its longevity helps to attest to this fact. The Order strives to help each member grow as an individual to develop qualities that will prove valuable to them not only while at Furman but life after Furman. The Order also provides its members with a fuller college experience. This is achieved by providing a mix of social functions and academics. Some of the traditional social functions are Red Tide. Southern Style Blow-out, Mountain Retreat, as well as the rush parties. The Order also exceeds in intramurals, particularly water polo and the bike race. Academically. the fraternity boasts the second highest G.P.A. among fraternities. Sweetheart: Amy Womack. Front Row: Joe Springer. Mark Kothe. Mark Yates. Scott Niemiec. Graham Craig.

The club including thirty-two members provided chances for sisters from all different backgrounds to establish unity and close friendships. Nesedha aimed to create a common bond among a diverse group of girls through social and service activities. As Nesedha sister Shannon Roberts said, I love Nesedha because I feel comfortable and at home with the other girls. I can be myself with them. Highlighting Nesedha's social calendar, a tailgate Parents' Weekend, a Homecoming brunch, a Crush Party, a Christmas dinner, a rush party called Jungle Jam , and an annual spring formal called Sapphire Ball kept the sisters busy. Nesedha girls also enjoyed participating in mixers with other social clubs and fraternities. The club also was a service to the community. Various service activities included working with May Day Play Day. selling carnations for the Irish Children’s program, and Christmas carolling at a nursing home. Along the fundraising line, the girls sponsor the birthday cake delivery for freshmen, have book sales, sell M M's, and sell basketball pins. Through all their social and service activities. Nesedha. meaning a group of sisters stars , enlightens Furman with their unity. Nickie Skinner. Anne Cherry, and Brenda Leaird celebrate at their Christmas party. VIDA The sisterhood of Volare de Agape is a diverse group of girls whose ties of friendship are strengthened through their Christian bond. As one of the oldest and largest social clubs at Furman, the club strives to be an asset to both their school and community through social and service activities. VIDA presents the girls with opportunities for fun. friendship, and fellowship. By participating in many of their traditional social activities, the girls' friendships grow. Some of their activities included a fall retreat in the mountains. a Parents’ Weekend tail-gate party, a Homecoming brunch with Alumni, mixers with fraternities and other social clubs, a winter semi-for-mal. a Valentine's Day “crush party, a spring formal, a weekend at the beach, and a Senior banquet. During the 1987 Homecoming festivities. VIDA joined the Sigs fraternity in building a float, presenting a skit at the pep rally, and cheering together at the game. Besides their social activities, VIDA tried to help the community through various service projects. Sharing their time and talents. VIDA worked with a day care center, raked leaves during the fall, supplied Thanksgiving dinner to five families and helped Habitat for Humanity. VIDA also provided the girls with a source of fellowship. Through weekly Bible studies and devotions, the girls grow closer together while strengthening their Christian bond. The sisterhood of Volare de Agape provided the opportunity for its girls not only to serve Furman and the community, but also to develop lasting friendships. Darby Bell.

The club is designed to develop leadership. character, friendships, and loyalty to a unifying cause. Through social and service activities, the sisters grow closer together. Two major service projects for ACT include May Day Play Day and Pendleton Place. Besides helping the community, ACT plans various fundraisers, such as car washes, cookie and doughnut sales, and raffles. ACT had an eventful year wth numerous social activities. Mixers, tailgate parties. Winter Semi-Formal. Parents' Weekend Brunch. Alumni Brunch during Homecoming, and retreats give the girls opportunities to have fun. Two highlights of the spring term for the ACT girls were Spring Formal and Beach Weekend. Being All Committed Together, the ACT girls realized the importance of dedication not only to their club but also to their friendships. ACT girls have fun while washing cars and raising money.

JE CHIOS SOCIETY The Chios Society was founded in the fall of 1984 for the purpose of providing an opportunity for leadership, excellence, and sisterhood. The emphasis among Chios members is unity. Since its inception, Chios has grown in numbers, yet the uniquely strong bond shared by the charter members has encompassed each new member in every aspect of her life. Chios social functions annually include the Christmas and Spring for-mals. the Camden Cup Steeplechase, retreats, mixers. Little Brother parties, and Parents' Weekend brunch. In addition to the social aspect of Chios, emphasis is placed on philanthropy which focuses on both interactions with and contributions to underprivileged sectors of the Greenville community. Chios sisters participate in a variety of campus functions such as little sister programs, varsity sports, student organizations and government, FUSAB, religious organizations, and foreign study. The campus highlight this fall was winning the Homecoming competition with the Cygnus fraternity. Rush provides a chance for Chios to make friends, as well as expand their membership. Belief that cautious and gradual growth brings strength has retained the unique character of the Chios Society while its horizons were expanded. The Chios Society welcomed girls to the island of Chios during their Lu-Owe Rush Party. Chios start a new tradition among social clubs with Chios little brothers. Chios. Front Row: Kay lllges.

Each sisters' individuality and personality contributes to the overall club's diversity. Through social and service activities, the girls establish close friends and create memories that last a lifetime. The Delphian’s service projects not only help the community, but also bring satisfaction through participation. Weekly, the Delphian's go to a CESC mini-park and sponsor a child in Chile. During the holiday season, the club donated a Christmas tree to the library. The Delphians also coordinate birthday parties for those at the Piedmont Nursing Home. Besides the service and fundraising projects, the group enjoyed various social events. Their 1987-88 calendar included an informal in Chimney Rock, a Halloween party. Thanksgiving Dinner, a Delphian TWIRP party, a Christmas party, a spring formal in Hilton Head, a drop-in on the mall for both parents weekend and Homecoming. The Delphians teamed up with the Centaur fraternity to make their Homecoming float. To strengthen their bonds of friendship, the club goes on retreats, participates in intramural sports, has mixers with fraternities and other social clubs, participates in winter rush, and has a Bible study. By interacting with each other, each sister in the Delphians Society not only develops her own individuality, but also creates lasting friendships. Delphian sisters get excited for their Halloween party. ACADEMICS .. . In recent years. Furman has received recognition by several major national publications for the quality of its liberal arts program. The number and caliber of applicants for Furman's freshman classes have increased dramatically during the past several years. With these increases have come freshman classes with higher and higher average SAT scores; the class of 1991 has an average score of 1121. Once at Furman, students continued to work for excellence spending unending hours studying in the library, in dorm rooms, in the science library. or by the lake: practicing in the music building, experimenting in the labs, or creating projects in the art building The pursuit of excellence was not confined to the classroom. Students had the opportunity to benefit from experiences including foreign study programs to Japan, the Middle East, and England; ROTC leadership training, concerts by world renowned groups such as the Leningrad State Symphony, and lectures by leaders in various fields. At Furman, the students were not the only people striving for academic excellence; Furman professors followed their independent scholarly projects such as writing articles and books and conducting research. The professors also opened their doors to students who sought advice or help with personal or academic problems. because they cared about the students as individuals and wanted to help the students reach their highest level of achievement. The Furman faculty was pursuing excellence along with the student body. Stacey Kennedy 164 ACADEMICS PURSUING EXCELLENCE ACADEMICS-165 The group finds a few minutes for a piciure in front of tho pyramids. THE MIDDLE EAST The 1987 Winter Term Foreign Study provided an opportunity for sixteen students to visit Jordan. Israel. Egypt, and Morocco. Dr. William Lavery and Dr. David Rutledge accompanied the students as they studied The Golden Age of Islam and Archaeology of the Biblical World. therefore satisfying their Asian-African requirement and an upper-level humanities course. The group experienced every mode of travel possible in the Middle East. Outside of the conventional air-travel, walking, and bus-touring that other foreign studies use, they rode horseback to the Nabatean city Petra, rode a ferry on the Sea of Galilee, rode a cable car to the Wadi Musa, swam the Dead Sea. sailed the Nile, climbed inside on of Dr Laery arKl Df Rulle j9€ the pyramids of Giza, rode camel-back to the Sphinx, and toured Marakesh in horse-drawn carriages. A three-day stay in Amsterdam provided everyone the privilege of riding in boats through these canals as well. The weather varied from snow to very high temperatures. During the entire six-week visit, it only rained about four days. When not touring, individuals could be found bargaining in the Arab markets, sunning at the hotel, or even catching performances of the many tribal musicians, acrobats, belly-dancers, and snake-charmers. Eating was also a favorite pastime, as the Arabs serve very well-seasoned meals consisting usually of bread, soup, chicken, vegetables, and oranges.

Spending time with the group and getting to know one another is an important part of foreign study. 168 ACADEMICS The Arc do Triomphe is one of the most famous sights in Paris. It seems like we just got here: a timid, tired group from a Southern university, filing off the bus into the house that was to become our classroom for the next three months. We ate croissants that morning. And now three months and at least 950 croissants later we're packed up and ready to go. They say that foreign study can be one of the best times of your life. Luckily, for us, they were right, though we re finding it hard to get on the train at the Rive Droite station for the last time. We've seen Paris from the scum in the Metro to the glory of the Louvre. We came to know Versailles quite well, also, because that was our home town for the term. In our little classroom in Versailles we learned everything we wanted to and just as much that we really could have lived without knowing. (Did the lanceole period come before or after the rayonnant?) And our sneakers are well worn from walking to one side of Versailles to the side near the palace. to the University Restaurant where we could get an inexpensive, yet warm, meal. We never really left the classroom because we were continually in the process of learning, speaking (or trying to) and listening to French. We were each placed in our own French family where we learned more about France than we could ever learn in school. Most of us had typical french breakfasts and we drank coffee from bowls like everyone else. Some students' mothers bought them Corn Flakes so they wouldn't experience too much culture shock. After classes we’d return chez nous, watch a little Bewitched dubbed into French or the french version of Wheel of Fortune, then, to the table for a real french meal of no less than three courses and dessert. The term sped on we became rather attached to our families and our teachers. We realized that the end of our sejour was fast approaching as we got dressed and made up for the play we presented for them. The play, La Fille Bien Garde , was a boulevard theatre comedy whose humor was somewhat enhanced for the French audience because of our evident American accents. We would like you fellow Furman students to know that we think foreign study is one of the best and most educational experiences we’ve had as students at Furman. We really appreciate the work that Furman, the Sinigers, and Dr. Patton, our American professor, put into the program of 1987. The Furman French students Showing their appreciation, the Furman students gave fifts to their French teachers. FRANCE7169 Unlike the world we've known for so long, the Far East is definitely unique to our home country in many different ways. Leaving the comforts and coziness of home, fifteen anxious Furman students travelled over 18.000 miles to Japan - a land surpassing the realm of any foreigner’s imagination. A new and unique world was opened to the eyes of the soon-to-become Kansai Gaidai University students as they stepped off the 747 into the unknown land of the rising sun. Led by Dr. James Leavell and his wife. Judy, the foreign study experience came alive for each of us Gaijn (foreigners). Regardless of the atmosphere - riding the Junky train to school, hanging out at the Pig Whistle, photographing the A-bomb dome in Hiroshima or simply eating dinner (with chopsticks) with our Japanese family - there was something to be learned, not only about oneself, but also about the mysterious Orient. Watching the American dollar become practically worthless against the Japanese yen caused a few gripes but did not stop the Furmanites from travelling to places like Koya-san. Tokyo. Amenohashidate and Ise. Naturally, everyone saved a little extra •‘yennage to bargain with in Hong Kong where everything was too cheap to pass up. Any Furman student who has lived in Japan for 4 months will agree that the experience was one in a lifetime, generating an opportunity that all of us will be thankful for forever.

Austria ... a home away from home. Oooh! Ahh! Schoen! 15 September 1987 marked this year's beginning of the Vienna Foreign Study Program. We will likely forget the specific date of arrival and departure. but none of us will ever forget some of the great things we saw and did. The program, headed up and organized by our fearless leader and friend. Dr. Norman Whisnant. started off with a 14 day tour of an unusually sunny and warm West Germany. Indeed, when we arrived there was no time to lose as we took out directly by bus for Cologne by way of Aachen. Cologne is famous for its enormous gothic cathedral and 4711 cologne; however. I am sure that our visit to Cologne s Remische Germanischer Museum will stand out in our memories for a long time to come. In just two weeks we were able to tour places like Bonn. Heidelberg. Nuremberg. Regensburg, and Munich. We saw a number of old churches, and fantastic museums, not to mention several castles, including Bavaria's famous Neuschwan-stein. The open air fruit markets were also a feature attraction; they always had the best apples. After dark, out of a desire fo familiarize ourselves with every facet of German culture, we made it a point to explore the nightlife of every city and town we visited. Outstanding among our outings. Munich’s Oktoberfest turned up just about ever facet imagineable. It didn't seem like twenty minutes had gone by before the entire tour was over and we were en route to Vienna. Before a two-week bus tour, having to deal with Tammarinsis. the Bed Boys, and separations from girlfriends and boyfriends. this group had become like a family. When we arrived in Vienna, we found that it was more than just a place to study; it was a place to grow both personally and intellectually. Outside of the benefits of simply living a different culture, the city always had something special to offer. After classes at the Palais were out for the day. we could visit one of the many museums and see anything from Roman ruins to Rembrandt. Of course, for a change of pace, it was not uncommon to simply walk around the city and enjoy the unique Viennese atmosphere. After hours, if we had not left town for Hungary, France, or Switzerland, we might be found at a jazz cafe drinking a Weizenbier or sipping new wine in Grinzing. Nothing could replace the memories. Fall '87 in Vienna was much more than a good time, it changed us all. Todd Boyd AUSTRIA 173 ENGLAND Climbing up Benbolben..

After three weeks of enjoyable, but hectic bus touring through Ireland, England’s Lake District, and other English cities, the students participating in the England Brussels program this fall were glad to arrive in London. The Royal National Hotel, which Pete Gwin described in last year's Bonhomie as the Infamous Royal National is still the same. It still takes up an entire city block, has more rooms than Furman has students, and has the ugliest carpeting in the western world. But for six weeks, it was home. As well as attending classes at Birbeck College, students began to make themselves at home in London. Armed only with “tube passes, many students began exploring by means of the London Underground. Picadilly Circus was a favorite hot spot, with its many places to eat, including the ever popular Mrs. Fields Cookies. In no time at all. the students felt at home in London. Being from a small town, I was a bit nervous about living in a big city, says Janet Grose, but I loved London! I was very comfortable there. Aside from the seven plays that the students attended as a group, many frequented the theatre on their own. “Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera were two of the most popular “recreational plays. Other memories of the London experience include day trips to places like Windsor Castle and Hampton Court, enjoying the local color at neighborhood pubs, dancing at the Hippodrome, and the annual Halloween Party. During the weeks the group spent in London, students gained a greater appreciation of the rich history, tradition, and the beauty of the city. Learning about British culture became a day-to-day experience. Going on foreign study is the best experience I have ever had. says senior Kevin Moore. I got to know more people and learned more than I ever thought was possible. Jennifer Bogle ENGLANO 175 BRUSSELS After the numerous adventures of ten-day independent travel, our foreign study group remet in Strasbourg to begin our class on the European Community. The first week we toured not only Strasbourg, but Luxemburg and Bonn and visited the European Parliament, the Courts of Justice and the German Foreign Ministry. We discussed their optimistic goals of European unification and international relations in general. During our two week stay in Bruxelles, we were able to visit the US Embassy, the European Commission. NATO, and a Belgian textile manufacturing plant. For fun. many of the students sampled the traditional dish of steamed mus-sells and other seafood delicacies, but some of the less adventuresome tasted the well-known Belgian waffles and chocolates.

STRATFORD There are few times in a person's life when he realizes that a turning point has taken place, a moment he can say, I am a changed person because of this experience.'' I believe, however, that I know of 53 Furman students that can pinpoint last fall term as one of those times; the England Foreign Study Students of 1987. After traveling throughout Ireland. Scotland, and England. spending 5 1 2 weeks in the glorious city of London, and striking out on our own on Free Travel throughout Europe. the group was split with 33 students going to Brussels and 20 heading to the tiny but active town of Stratford-Upon-Avon to study at the Shakespeare Institute under Shakespearean experts, actors, and behind-the-scenes staff with the Royal Shakespeare Company, along with Furman’s own Dr. Nicholas Radel from the English Department. Along with our in-class studies of Shakespeare, we attended 7 magnificent Shakespeare plays, including the popular Taming of the Shrew, and the gory dramatic Titus Andronicus, as well as 5 other Renaissance dramas by playwrights such as Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jon-son. Although some were hesitant about this intense immersion into Shakespeare, I can assure you that we all left with a new appreciation for this literary genius and his contributions to the theatre arts. Perhaps the most educational experience was not our moments spent in class, but our times interacting with the thoroughly-English community of Stratford. Experiences such as getting to know our guest house families, sitting in the Dirty Duck, and conversing informally with actors from the RSC. walking along the tree-lined River Avon on a lazy, gray Sunday afternoon, shopping in the open market in the center of town on Fridays, and even being invited to tea by a sweet old lady named Miss Scott-Elliot and her sad-eyed dog Rupert. It was this type of experience that created an instant and everlasting bond between these 20 American students and the small, but magnificent town of Stratford-upon-Avon. And believe me, it was a definite turning point in all of our lives. Kevin Moore The Stratford group puts on a production of its own ... Taking a break from Shakespeare allows time for chatting with friends. ENGLAND 177 Suzanne Wheeier and Darby Bell bundle up against the cold Baltic winter. Our family and friends all thought we were crazy for wanting to go to Russia. But we knew we were in for one of the greatest experiences of our lives, even though we were scheduled to visit West and East Germany. Poland, the Soviet Union. Finland. Sweden, and Denmark during the coldest months. On January 10, 1987. twenty-nine Furman students left for Russia, clothed in the latest L.L. Bean winter wear and accompanied by Dr. John Black and Dr. Eugene Johnson. Having completed a good portion of our studies prior to January 10. most of the trip was spent touring, exploring, traveling, and just getting to know one another (which wasn’t difficult considering the number of times we were crammed together on overnight trains!) The January 15 train ride to West Berlin through East Germany provided us with our first encounter with the East. Viewing ’’The Wall impressed upon all of us the harsh realities of Communism, and talking with a Bundestag member of West Berlin proved equally enlightening. The three weeks our group spent behind the Iron Curtain” were both informative and challenging. We learned how different a socialist economy looks from our own. and we learned how to go about trading with the Russians. I trade you lacquer boxes for blue jeans became a familiar phrase to all of us. We were challenged to keep an open mind as we encountered a world very different from our own. Perhaps equally challenging was the subzero weather and inaccessibility to a Big Mac (right Tommy?)! Who will ever forget Bodo's mysterious silence, or the look on Heike's face when we gave her the Furman cap. or Tanya's crush on Brad? And won’t we always remember the feeling among all of us as the KGB hauled Boris off from Palace Square or hearing our voices fill up the monument to The Battle of the Nations at Leipzig as we sang ’’America the Beautiful? Surely, these memories will stay with us forever. Darby Bel! The Hard Rock Cafe in Stockholm. 178 ACADEMICS 1 BALTIC 179 Sarah Eberly and Chris Peabody grab a few snacks from a nearby supermarket.

Can you reach your full potential? ROTC at Furman can help you answer these questions. ROTC stresses leadership and excellence. Many students find it the most challenging part of their college education. It all starts with Military Science eleven. This course is open to all students, but it is geared mainly toward freshmen. It gives students a basic understanding of the military's role in world history. With this class comes a Monday Lab where MSI's learn basic army skills such as first aid, grenade tossing, tactical movements and how to fire clamore mines. Monday lab also offers challenges like an obstacle course and rubber boat navigation in the lake. Optional events like rappeling trips to glassy rock and tactical field training exercises offer an added challenge to students who seek more excitement than Monday lab. Military Science twenty-one takes a look at US foreign policy since World War II emphasizing the military's role in it. Monday lab is also a requirement for this course and many MS Il's find themselves in leadership positions such as team leaders and squad leaders. Military Science thirty-one is for scholarship and contract students. These students have shown above average scholastic aptitude and leadership qualities. The MS III year is for Juniors. It is the most challenging year, because it is spent preparing for advanced camp. MS Ill’s take on leadership positions and prepare themselves to become officers in the United States Army. At this time, they find out if they can really hang. During the summer after their Junior year, the MS Ill’s attend advance camp. Here they are tested and subjected to mental and physical stress to determine how they will do as officers in the United States Army. Traditionally. Furman students do very well at advance camp. The Class of '88 was rated one of the best in the region. Most cadets showed their outstanding qualities by scoring 5’s and 4's. the highest scores and winning their record badges. One outstanding cadet, Matt Feig-enbaum, attended the grueling Army Ranger School and won his Ranger lab. Other cadets attended Airborne School and cadet leadership training programs. After advance camp comes the MS IV year where the senior cadets take over and run the program. The Senior year is the most rewarding. The MS IV pass on what they have learned to the MS I's Il's and Ill's while at the same time preparing to become United States Army Officers. By this time, they know they can hang. ROTC Toby Martin and Jerry Spearman demonstrate their expertise during Monday lab.

People sometimes working behind the scenes and sometimes working in easily noticed positions, have made organizations possible. Without the students, an institution for education like Furman University could not have existed. The students have worked to make Furman University an excellent school. Freshmen entered Furman unsure about what college life would bring; but as soon as they realized what standards were acceptable at this university, they joined the other classes in working to be the best that they could be. The other people at Furman, upperclassmen, faculty advisors, and professors provided caring, understanding, and helpful friends. Sophomores and juniors have adjusted to life at Furman and have begun to take leadership positions in the various organizations on campus. They have come to the middle of their Furman careers and have continued to work to achieve their highest level of performance. Seniors have worked since their freshman year to reach this point in their lives; now. they stand at a threshold where they will move forward from the Furman environment into the life that they have sought during their college years. During the course of life at Furman, students have sought excellence in the classroom, on the playing field, and at various jobs. Furman students have been people seeking excellence.

Dr. John E. Johns had served as president since 1976. He represented Furman at other colleges, board meetings, and meetings with trustees. Dr. John H. Crabtree. Jr. was Furman's vice president for academic affairs and dean. He was responsible for faculty and curriculum as well as all the other academically related areas of university life, including the library, computer center, ad-missions.and financial aid. Dr. Harry B. Shucker was the vice president for student services and the member of the administration whom students usually knew best. The student services division was responsible for programs which involved life outside the classroom. Two important administrators kept Furman financially stable. Mr. Wayne Weaver, vice president for business affairs, paid the university's bills, made sure the campus was well-maintained, and oversaw university funds. He spent the money that Dr. Jerry McGee, vice president for development, raised for the university. Dr. Phillip Winstead was given the important job as coordinator of institutional planning and research. All of these officers were extremely important and continued to do a fine job at Furman University. Dr. John E. Johns.

Participants meet weekly in order to recognize appreciate some aspect of the wilderness: KA Rock, particularly. To enliven what may be an otherwise boring event. The Wilderness Society plays games such as quarters, word-spelling, and Scruples, (figured it out. yet?). Yes. the group has its own traditional drink, inside jokes, and secret handshake. This active society had its first meeting atop Paris Mountain on Friday. October 30th. 1987. Since that memorable occasion, the group has met weekly, distributed newsletters, and inducted new members. Charter members include The Spiritual Leader - Lisa Richey; Hike Commandress - Christine Younts; Beveragess - Karen Kelly; Keeper of The Memories (someone's got to do it!) - Rebecca Armacost; and Mary Gilbreath. Our first inductee pictured is Lee Anne Harwood. For anyone interested in joining, there are no dues, fund-raisers, or rules (besides Woodsy's. Keep litter in its place! ). Carullo. Jodie Cater.

Public Safety performed environmental, health, and radiation safety services such as fire prevention, first aid. animal control, laboratory safety, and severe weather and disaster planning. Of course, it also handled traffic and parking problems as many of us found out. Overall, the Public Safety department is a good group, so feel free to call for help anytime.

Who was this team, and why were they so successful? They were the Model Organization of African Unity, led by Dr. Donald Gordon of the political science department. Each year. Furman trained about 25 people to compete at Howard University in Washington, DC at the national model of Africa’s version of the United Nations. These delegates, who by the time of the March competition had gone through seven months of intensive study of African politics, went to the Model OAU to debate resolutions, make speeches, and have a good time.

Some play sports, some sleep, some spend time with friends, and some enjoy playing musical instruments. Faith Holbrook enjoys experimenting with the banjo and Elaine Powell is trying to learn how to play the Guitar. Elaine and Faith say it’s just something they do when they're bored. How do their apartment-mates feel about their Jubilee? “It's fun because Tracy (Hulsey) taught us how to clog and we had a square dance the other night ' says Whitney Denton. So whether it's sports, sleep, friends, or hoedowns. Furman students can always find ways to keep themselves busy. MARSHALL-PAYNE-GABRIEU203 SENIORS TEST PRAYER Now I lay me down to study.

Tell my professors I've done my best. Then put my books upon my chest. Now I lay me down to rest, To pray I'll pass tomorrow's test. If I should die before I wake.

Furman's two certified trainers — Elaine Baker and Bruce Getz are assisted by five other people, and together they do their best to make the sports seasons run smoothly. They work long hours covering 20 sports which includes over 300 athletes. They treat injuries, schedule rehab programs for injured athletes and athletes recovering from surgery, and they work with the 73 coaches in trying to prevent injuries (conditioning workouts and nutritional counsel for pre-game meals).

Sometimes. as many as eight teams practice at once. The trainers try to attend as many practices as possible in case of an emergency. The training room facilities are only open to Furman athletes, but occasionally the infirmary sends students with injuries to the training room. The Furman Training Room deserves our applause.

I brownnose thee by laughing at your jokes. Out of thee a good grade I try to coax. I laugh and smile and agree with you And turn in my papers before they're due. I'm never late arriving to your class because I desperately want to pass. And if I nod. I’m not asleep — It's because your eye I want to keep. I ask you questions which may be dumb. Or that's the way it appears to some, But it's all part of my master plan When after class at your desk I stand. I compliment you on your hair, your suit, and your stylish dress. (The purpose of this. I'm sure all of you can guess). Sometimes it's almost successful; I think I've won the game. But mostly it's just futile; My grade still stays the same ...

UNDERCLASSMEN 265 ADVERTISEMENTS. .. Coming through the gates of Furman, the observer could not help noticing the beauty of the campus. Flowing fountains seen throughout the landscaped grounds enhanced the beauty of the buildings. The campus was set in a place of natural tranquility resting at the base of Paris Mountain in Greenville. South Carolina. The merchants in Greenville helped to promote excellence at Furman University in many ways. Often Furman students have received summer jobs, Christmas employment, and even part-time jobs during the school year from the area businesses. The businesses also supported the school by helping sponsor events or participating in events such as Bernaro'ios and Pepsi's involvement in homecoming this year. In cooperation with groups such as RHA, the local merchants provided discounts to Furman students who have an RHA card, a University Club Card, or a Furman I.D. Giving donations to the BSU auction and allowing groups to hold car washes on their property have been other ways that the community and Furman have interacted. The nurturing that the Greenville community provided helped students as they began their working lives. The interaction in Greenville prepared them to face whatever situations their lives would bring. The Greenville community was promoting excellence at Furman University.
