However, most students have a particular time of day and place to study. Sarah ' s in Williams Center is a popular place. Dorm rooms and lobbies, hallways in campus buildings, picnic tables, the grassy banks of the lakes and study nooks in the library are also filled with conscien- tious students. According to some recent psychologi- cal studies, each person has a particular time of day when his concentration is at its peak. I ' m in class all morning said Robert Jenkins, SGA President, and in the SGA office all afternoon, so I usually study at night. I usually study early in the morning before 1 go to class. said Sid Anderson, SGA Senator. Georgia Southern students can even earn credit for learning how to study. Methods of Learning is a two hour credit course offered in the Learning Resources Center. Tutorial Services are also offered in the LRC. Some students may thrive on studying, but there are always some who find it hard to endure. I hate to study. I ' ve found that by going to class every day and cramming the night before an exam is all the study- ing I need. said Allyn Swann, a senior. My best time to study is between 3 and 6 a.m. in the morning. The dorm ' s really quiet then. 25

The Best GSC Has To Offer! Honors Day And Graduation Some 300 graduating seniors and un- derclassmen who had distinguished them- selves through high academic achieve- ment and leadership were invited to par- ticipate in the Honors Day activities held in Sweetheart circle on May 10, 1985. The first honoree was Mrs. Judith Deal Collins who was the recipient of the Alumni Association Award. This award is given to the senior with highest average who has completed all work at GSC. The awards following included Excellent Scholarship, Who ' s Who Among Stu- dents in American Colleges and Universi- ties and Gamma Sigma and Phi Kappa Phi members. A new award found it ' s way into the list this year — the Wells-Warren Award. In addition to the Professor of the Year Award, this new award was bestowed upon marketing professor James Ran- dall. Randall advised Pi Sigma Epsilon, the marketing fraternity which took first place in overall excellence at the 1984 convention. Honors Day was merely a foreshadow- ing of even greater things to come. Above right: Mr. James Randall receives the Professor of the Year Award.

Left to Right: Nanette Guidebeck, Star Hand, Susan Harrell and Julie Hobus prepare to receive their degrees during sum- mer graduation. Dr. Dale Lick conferred degrees upon 933 students during the fifty-seventh an- nual spring graduation on June 8, 1985. Dr. Lick conferred degrees upon 397 stu- dents during the forty-fifth annual sum- mer graduation on August 18, 195. Many may have felt fearful, relieved, excited and happy, or perhaps a mixture of all these emotions. Just when they thought the core cur- riculum would kill them, they found them- selves in their major classes. And when they finally got the hang of being college students, they were seniors. As seniors, they had to clear with their advisors. Next they made a graduation appointment with Mrs. Cecile Perkins. Finally they were measured for their caps and gowns in the bookstore in Landrum and paid an $11.00 fee. For many, graduation was an anxious time because finals are usually held right up until the day before. However, for those who had weathered the storms of a college career successfully, graduation was truly a rewarding experience. 26
