ALTERED IMAGE On the surface, life at Georgia Southern seems to go on much the same as always. Students are seen hurrying around campus daily, mov- ing from class to class, strolling through Landrum, daydreaming by the lake — these things remain the same from day to day, year to year. But something is changing. Georgia Southern is far from the same school it was four or five years ago. GSC ' s image has been altered, for better or worse. For many years Southern was known primarily as a party school , and few people took it very seriously. Many students drifted through — they were here for a good time, not a good education. Southern ' s programs were always strong, but its image and the atti- tudes of people in and around it were not. However, in just the past two years attitudes have begun to turn around, perhaps not a full 180 degrees, but they ' re halfway there. More students are serious about learning, not just attending classes. School spirit runs high now — stu- dents are proud to say they go to Georgia Southern, and many will de- fend it to the death against the rabid adoration of University of Georgia supporters. Attitudes are abstract things. How- ever, Georgia Southern has also been involved in altering its image in more concrete ways, the most no- ticeable of which is, of course, the Since it opened in the fall of 1975, the library has been one of the most striking buildings on campus. 2 OPENING

new Allen E. Paulsen stadium, just completed this year. There are those in and around Georgia South- ern who believe that the stadium was a gargantuan waste of time and money. Indeed, the funds that were channeled into building the stadium :ould have been used for scholar- ships, or purchasing equipment, or for many other educational pur- poses. But none of those worthy puses could have brought to the i:ampus the new sense of self-esteem :hat now lives and grows at this school. In addition, the stadium (to- gether with a winning football team) draws attention to Southern, and may eventually lead to the enroll- amed after dietician Blanche Landrum, Landrum Center is a hub of activity on campus. ment of high-quality students who otherwise might never have heard of Georgia Southern College. As mentioned previously, attitudes are shadowy, abstract things. How- ever, they are what this college and all others depend on for their contin- ued existence. A little turnaround in attitude was all that was needed to turn Georgia Southern into the re- spected institution of higher learn- ing that it always should have been. The newly Altered Image is what this yearbook is all about. Painting the rock is a legal alternative to vandalizing the buildings. OPENING 3
