John Osbori A TIME AND PLACE UNIQUELY SOUTHERN Et starts with a brush, pen, or pencil — perhaps a magic marker — a spray of paint or a frozen kodachrome millisecond — a memory — and a mark is left behind. College is a bundle of memories, too many to capture. As each second slips by, we stand in awe at the amount of time that has passed and we don ' t feel different. But we do feel different. These changes are marks unseen to the naked eye. Neither the microscope nor telescope can detect them. But we know the marks are there. This too is GRAFFITI. In a broader sense, GRAFFITI is a mark of memory that someone has passed this way. And that someone is you. GRAFFITI means more than the Rock or the bathroom wall, it ' s a remnant of a time and place. In your own special way, you have helped to create a unique atmosphere. And in return, GSC has made a mark of its own in your life. GRAFFITI reflects this mark. SOUTHERN reflects this place. SOUTHERN GRAFFITI reflects it all. John Osborne Intro 3 It ' s study time.

Frank Fortune EVERYTHING SOUTHERN EVERYTHING EXCELLENT n this plot of land, many people have passed in the 79 years of 0 growth. But in all those years, GSC never recorded as many students, about 7,600. Projections put GSC ' s student expan- sion growing still, figures as great as 10,000 in 1987-88. Though some try to attribute the growth, others do not question it. However, the figures are astounding for such a population explosion in such a short time. The results can be seen in several facets. People say lightning never strikes twice. Well, the blue thunder exited- campus and a storm blew across the nation into Tacoma, Washington. What some thought a fluke in 1985, was repeated in 1986. We are the Eagles — the National Champions. Although the excellence never ceased there, these two were on the minds of each and every Southern student. Excellence can be found on a smaller scale. The life force that surrounds this campus, an encouraging spirit that motivates us on to achieve the greatest we can. The individual is vital to the continued diversity and quality. But the emotion of college is more. There is a unity inside and out. All are unified under GSC. Yet, we as well unify on a smaller scale to form special bonds for a lifetime. Can we forget the real reason why we are here? An education. But much more than book smarts, we learn about life. We grow in spirit, in emotions, in intelligence. We grow in us. There is so much and so little time. But when we leave, we will be richer for our experiences. There is no doubt, an excellence will burn within us for people to witness. GSC is just one of the places we will have to thank for it. Intro 5 THE SEARCH FOR HISTORY: C RAFFITI I 1 emory — it burns perceptions about us into our minds: the image, sound, taste, smell, touch.

The doors opened and peo- ple surged forward. Hands groped for tickets. Feet stormed down the stairs and past a concession stand into the gym. Scrambling to find a seat, the students anxiously awaited. The dark stage loomed ominisciently. Fans spent money and time pur- chasing t-shirts, albums, bandanas and other various items. A coke and popcorn later, the lights dimmed. The opening act enter- tained, but everyone came to see someone else. Finally, darkness covered the gym as a hush spread across the audience.

As he grew, music became a stong motivational force in his life. LeFevre became a major force in the music world writing songs for the likes of Elvis Presley. He even became involved with the Alanta Rhythm Section (ARS). This is when LeFevre was introduced to cocaine and other drugs. In the early eighties, LeFevre returned to Christianity in a big way. He helped to create the new Christian contemporary style of music, known also as Christian rock. Students attending enjoyed the personal atmosphere of the con- cert, not to mention the music which one student said was sim- ply fabulous. THE CONCERT ROCKED for about three hours. LeFevre kept the students asking for more. After he witnessed, the concert closed with a good old-fashioned sing along.

Well, actual- ly, the inhabitants of Tuna, Texas took over McCroan Auditorium May 14-17 to present Theatre South ' s production of Greater Tuna. The play presented stereotypical characters that one might find in a small Texan town. Orginally in- tended for only two actors, director Alex Chrestopoulous cast seven GSC actors. It ' s a crazy play, Chres- topoulous said. He had wanted to AT THE FUNERAL HOME, Vera Carp (Travis McKinley) greets Pearl Bumiller (Stephen Sission). They have come to pay respect to the recently deceased judge, found dead in a one piece ladies ' bathing suit. THIS MARRIAGE isn ' t exactly an equal partnership. Didi Snavely (Michael Hawk) threatens husband R.R. (Neil Bush). Didi runs the local gun shop while R.R. keeps his role as local drunkard and witness of several UFOs. Rick Lee direct the show since he saw it in San Diego. I thought it was very funny, and it is a real stretch for the actors to change from one character to another. Most of the cast played three characters. Stephen Sission por- trayed five characters in the play. The most difficult part is portray- ing these characters honestly. I It ' s a crazy play . . . it is a real stretch for the actors. Alex Chrestopoulous mean, these are people I grew up with, commented Sisson, who hails from the thriving metropolis of Vidalia. Sisson ' s roles ranged from Elmer Watkins, a local KKK member, to Betha Bumiller, the buffanted mother of three, to Yippy, a dog in the humane society ' s pound. My first change is from Elmer to Bertha, and that ' s the toughest, laughed Sisson. Quite different from the season ' s earlier productions of the dramatic Biko Inquest and the farcical Miser, Greater Tuna involves the audience for a more personal theater experience. During the last act, McCroan becomes a Tuna Baptist church. Tony Falcitelli as Thurston Wheelis, a deejay from radio sta- tion OKKK, waits for the live broadcast to begin. Meanwhile, Travis McKinley steps off the stage and into the audience as Vera Carp. Each show became drastically different because the audience reacted differently to McKinley ' s antics. Michael Hawk, a newcomer of the season ' s productions, character ' s ranged from a pistol- packin ' Didi Snavely, to an animal loving Petey Fisk, and a nosey funeral home director Phinas Blye. Neil Bush returned as R. R. Snavely, drunkard husband to Didi; Jody, dog followed youngest of Bertha; and a pitiful Nadine Wooten. Tim Hickman reversed roles from the criminal mind of Stanley Bumiller to a religious heart of Reverend Spikes. Mitchell Sellers portrayed Arlis Struvie, a deejay at OKKK, and Hank Bumiller, Bertha ' s unfaithful husband. Sellers felt the play was received better than The Miser because it dealt with characters that people, especially in this area of the country, can relate to. Greater Tuna was the first of two plays entered in the American College Theater Festival. Competition aside, the show promised to be the crowd pleaser of the season. According to Chrestopoulos, They ' ll love it. And they did. Students flocked to McCroan each evening. Some students even attended the play twice.

Or- ganizations com- pete against one another hoping to be victorious. There are several nice features about GSC being located in southern Georgia. One of them is the beautiful warm springtimes and the fact Savannah and the beach are so close. Or is it a hindrance. As usual, when the weather turns warm and beautiful, the out- doors call, and many students blow-off classes to sunbathe, play some sport (like frisbee) or take a road-trip to the beach. Either way, it ' s hard to stay in the classroom and study after a hard, long winter. The first rite of spring is, of course, the famed Spring Break.

Sand, Surf, and Suds Lisa Cornwell Amidst cloudy skies and baseball practice, beach music and fun returned to GSC ' s Eagle field last Spring quarter at Beach Bash ' 86. The event, sponsored by the Col- lege Activities Board, featured two bands that played a variety of music throughout the afternoon. Opening Beach Bash ' 86 were The Catalina ' s, from Charlotte, North Carolina. They played a variety of beach music as well as some Top 40 hits. One of the highlights was a medley of tunes by the Four Tops. Johnny White and The Elite Band, also from North Carolina, was the second features band of the day. They played a selection of Top 40 Music ranging from the Climax Band to the Dazz Band. Grag Marion of CAB commented on the event which drew a lot of people, but not as many as expected. I ' m disappointed that students won ' t come to something that is free and this good, s aid Marion. It ' s great, the weather ' s perfect and the bands are good. Greg Marion It ' s great.

I think it would have been better if you could bring your own beverages, said Donna Wolling. I heard a lot ol good things about the Beach Bash.

The two-day crash course on lege life was held to help •pare incoming freshmen for the ference between high school and college. Tours were also given to familiarize the new students with the campus. The first day ' s activities started off with a skit designed to show that anyone and everyone is ac- cepted at GSC. SOAR leaders acted out the roles of a valley girl, a good ol ' boy, a dizzy blond, and a nerd, each of which had found a special place in the Georgia Southern com- munity. The friendships made were worth all the hard work. After the skit, a welcome speech, and a general information talk by SOAR director Audrey Campbell, the freshmen split up and left with one of the ten orientation leaders. During the small group sessions led by student leaders, the incom- ing freshmen were given the chance to ask older students candid questions about college life. As one orientation leader said, The friendships made were worth all the hard work. Having worked all day, they par- tied all night. A dance was held in the gym to give the freshmen a chance to relax and get to know each other on a more personal basis. Most of the second and final day of the 48 hour adventure was spent registering. Under the direction of their advisers, the freshmen at- tempted to fill out their schedules for fall quarter. Classes registered for and student ID ' s made, the tired students packed and headed for home. Having survived a two day tour of college life, the soon to be freshmen left with schedules in hand and a better understanding of what the next four years of their lives would be like.

This convergence occurs because September 19 approaches. School opens. GSC became home for almost 7,600. Freshmen, in an amount never before precedented, invaded on- campus housing resulting in scat- tered tripling. Area off-campus apartments were left with very few vacancies. The entire administration, staff and faculty were braced for the masses. GSC had grown when a majority of colleges ' enrollments were expected to drop. That ever eventful day came. The bookstore overflowed. Land- rum lines were long and tedious. Some students were faced with things they never had to face before. Roommate problems de- veloped as students changed rooms and dorms. And some never figured how difficult it was to wash clothes. Books turned out to be quite ex- pensive. Some classes have over 250 pupils. Don ' t forget the park- . . . literally thousands attack this silent plot of land in Statesboro. ing sticker. For those returning, it was just as difficult. With the mass explosion of population, traffic jams and the lack of parking spaces provided major dilemmas for new off- campus living. Not to mention phone bills, elec- tric bills, cable t.v. bills, etc. But the many problems come with the responsibility of in- dependence. Most would agree, it ' s worth it. TRAFFIC JAMS were one of the many problems parents and students alike had to face while unloading the necessities of life. School Opens 21 SOMETIMES it ' s difficult to capture an entire season of the common foot- ball fan. Each game is different, and therefore, the emo- tions of the games differ. In order to attempt capture just a fraction of the Eagle Spirit, the Reflector focuses on the first game of the season, the Florida game. From September to November (and perhaps beyond), GSC students catch a strange disease called Erk ' s Eagles Football Fever Jennifer Jones During the long, hot, dreary summer, there was one bright spot in my horizon: GSC playing the University of Florida in Gainesville. It ' s not that I ' m a great football fan — I ' m not, or that I even to pre- tend to know all about the game — I don ' t. But it was just the fact that my college was playing a team that had the potential to go to the Sugar Bowl! So my roommates and I bought our tickets in anticipation of the game that would be the greatest upset of the year! On the Friday before the game we loaded up the car and set out for Florida. Gray skies and threatening rain did not dull our spirits, but as we passed over the Florida state line our tempers did flare. We were tuned into a radio sta- tion that seemed to delight in ask- ing the all-consuming question: Just who were the Georgia Southern Eagles and where in the heck was Statesboro? We screamed our answers in unison, but to no avail, the insults kept coming. We arrived at our hotel with our car loaded down with Southern stickers, cuzzis and banners flying. Proudly wearing my GSC sweat- shirt and my Gator-Hator bumper sticker displayed obnoxiously on my suitcase, we were told that, yes, we had reservations, but, no, we couldn ' t check in because our deposit check had not arrived. Several hours later the reserva- tions clerk sheepishly explained that he had received our check, he had just left it in his briefcase.

That night my friends and I checked out the local social scene around Gainesville. After assuring ourselves that the Holiday Inn Lounge across the street was not the party spot, we set off in our cars. Just who were the Georgia Southern Eagles and where the heck was Statesboro? We ended up in a nightclub with a great band and plenty of Gator fans. Undaunted our group im- mediately surged upon the dance floor to cut loose.

I think the directions were written down on a napkin from that bar. In any case, we stopped a few times and got dif- ferent opinions from everyone. Finally we just decided to follow the orange van with flags flying out of their windows. In fact most of the cars had those stupid flags fly- ing out of their windows. We parked under some tree in some parking lot about two miles from the stadium. It smelled like a bar-b-que pit. Every was cooking out. We only had our Playmate cooler. That was enough. What greeted our eyes as we walked toward the stadium was perhaps the most disgusting sight that I will always carry with me. ORANGE. A sea of it. Grown men in orange pants with little gators on them. Babies in orange diapers. Old women with orange straw hats. Gross!! To see a GSC fan was perhaps the greatest relief ever. We were seated in gate 1 1 which was around the back of the stadium. All the other gates had huge signs display- ing the numbers 1-10. However, our gate number was displayed on a piece of cardboard! Talk about hospitality! We got through the gate without much difficulty and a sweet old man with a Gator hat showed us to our seats. We were of course seated in the endzone, which was not a surprise. However, what a surprise (maybe by that time it shouldn ' t have been), was the stadium! You guessed it, it was painted complete- ly orange. It was a strain on the eyes. Once we found our seats and saw all of our friends, the anticipa- tion of the day returned. There they were, our Eagles doing jump ing jacks on a 1-A team ' s footbal field. It was a fantastic feeling. Because of our seat locations, wet were able to see the first- touchdown by the Gators. But thaa was practically all we saw. The first half we were no sweating with anticipation, but by the number of people squeezed 9 our seats. It was suffocating. The rain finally came during half-timi and it was a relief. My friends and I refused to bur Gator rain slickers, even by turning them inside out. I refused to wear ii out of pride for my school, besides 1 ; was already drenched. Needless to say the game didn go at all as we had planned, but still wouldn ' t have missed it fee anything.

On a cool autumn evening in October, many GSC students could be found at the Ogeechee Fair try- ing to relieve boredom and to take a break from all that school work. Alana Holton, a first time fairgoer, really enjoyed it: I went Fair Employees Called Out, W ' n a stuffed animal for the lady! You can ' t lose! with a group of people and had a lot of fun. My favorite was the super slide; we raced each other down it. Occasionally, studen f s were seen not as groups, but in couples. As they walked by the basketball shoot, chance games, and dart throw, fair employees called out, Win a stuffed animal for the lady! You can ' t lose. But for those who have tried, winning is not so easy and definite ly not cheap. Not only were the games expensive, but after the en- trance fee, tickets for the rides, and food, students found that their money had mysteriously disap- peared. It all ads up quite fast. Natasha Newberry, who worked in a local food booth at the fair, saw both the positive and negative aspects. I liked the displays and entertainment. However, there weren ' t enough rides for older people. One thing not lacking was the amount of food. From the carnival-run pizza and hot dog stands to the independent venders with pigskins, egg rolls, and pan- cakes, almost anything anyone had a craving for could be found. But there is something about the fair — maybe the atmosphere, maybe the uniqueness of it all — that keeps students coming back. As Chandra Fordham commented, It was worth it!

Waiting in the line was the worst part, the longer I waited, the more nervous I became. The process started off painless- ly, they just wanted to know everything about me, ranging from my name and other general background information to where and how I had spent my last vacation. Next came signing a form pro- mising that I hadn ' t lied in the first interrogation, followed by a re- asking of all those ridiculous ques- tions and suddenly, I felt something prick my finger. Satisfied that I had enough iron in my blood and adequate pressure to pump the stuff out, they directed me to the bag table. Having been given an empty blood bag that looked like it would hold gallons, I was led off to a donating station. It had a great view, to the right was a brick wall, and left was the pained face of another donor that had just been speared. By the time that the Red Cross nurse came over and began searching for a vein in my arm, nervous anticipation had turned to pure terror. Just look the other way honey, it won ' t hurt a bit! was the only warning the nurse gave before she punctured my unsuspecting vein. After the initial shock of having a hypodermic shoved in my arm, I Just look the other way, honey.

Tired of watching my own blood drain and looking at the wall, I began to look around at the other victims. Most appeared to be alive, even though their faces had tak on strange hues — ranging frm ghostly white to barf green. Not behind me, I saw a friend obvio ly in distress.

The Spirit that haunts Homecoming Present Homecoming weekend is something special every year and 1987 was no exception. The main events and other variety of ac- tivities brought alumni and Statesborians as well to the campus among the murmuring pines. GSC ' s homecoming is a tradition for some, and there ' s something about it that transforms the very essence of Southern. Each person is aware of the Eagle Spirit that envigorates the crowd in a distinct mannet. But as homecoming week approaches, there ' s a transformation. The spirit alters into a timeless enthusiasm. Past, in effect, meets present and both merge into a phantasm. It carries over from event to event and moment to moment. It ' s something special — the spirit of homecoming.

Ken rox O M I N G Homecoming Game 43 The concert tradition returns as CAB presents REM and Athens meets the ' Boro Ken Fox REM came to Statesboro November 19 knowing that the band would only play for approx- imately a fifth of the crowd that could be expected at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. But the band also came to Statesboro knowing that it would be an excited crowd, giving them a chance to get away from the big city dotted tour that they would, one week later, complete and return to the normalcy of Athens, its headquarters and home. That ' s where life began for REM — where manager Jefferson Holt took vocalist Michael Stripe, guitarist Peter Buck, Bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. Quietly this band of ordinary people came into the realm of all musical talent. REM has produced four albums — Murmur (1983), Reckoning (1984), Fables of the Reconstruc- tion (1985) and Life ' s Rich Pageant (1986) — that have taken this small city band to commercial success. That success is as simple as the band ' s creation in 1980, when REM started playing in an abandoned church, mainly to occupy themselves and their friends after classes in the college town. We had not thought of being a professional band back then, remembers Peter Buck. But the group went from free performances to night club status to a contract with IRS Records. Location was as vital in the band ' s development as was talent and ambition. It doesn ' t matter where REM plays, as long as we make good records, says Buck. To them, being rich and changing the world is not what life is all about. The goal, Mills says, was simple: We want to make somewhat powerful, aggressive records that rock pretty well. He continued saying that tour- ing isn ' t everything, though the band does enjoy traveling, seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Mills commented on Statesboro, It ' s the touring to places like here that I really enjoy, not like Los ' It ' s the touring to places like here that I really enjoy . . . — Mike Mills, bassist Angeles,, New York, Atlanta — you know — the big pressure dates. It ' s the big cities where all the relatives, friends and everyone else who has a claim to us that we feel expected to perform exceedingly. It turns out very uncompensating. It was more relaxing for us to have fun for such an exciting crowd. That type of concert is hard to top. It was hard to top, and perhaps the next time REM needs to relax, the band will find its way to Statesboro. f H O M E C Life Force A PRESS PASS helps one to meet REM in person. It, as well, came in handy to get autographs from band members. CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH? It is almost certain REM members heard that several times. And vocalist Michael Stipe heard it again from Rene Mallen and Tom Pagani. FOR ONE NIGHT, GSC was in the stars again as the REM Concert resumed the tradition of a top dollar entertainer on campus. But students, like senior Nancy Calvert, discovered REM Mike Mills is just an ordinary person. O M I N G Homecoming REM Concert THE SIGNS OF CHRISTMAS include the sparkling lights of the CSC Christmas Tree.

Tis the (Holiday and Exam) Season Michael Cheek As the Christmas season ap- proached, the cold winds invaded the campus as the warm lights came aglow on December 1. And perhaps this is the last year the large oak by Williams Center will be used. For the sixteenth time, the oak blazed with green, yellow, red and blue. The 65 foot tree was covered with over 1,000 lights and topped with a star. Although the tree has an un- traditional shape, it has been located on an ideal location for all to see. It rises impressively over Williams and can be seen from several nearby areas. According to the GSC News Service, Physical Plant reported the trunk is rotting out and is making the process of hanging the lights difficult. Students across campus celebrated Christmas in several manners. Many decorated their dorm rooms and apartments. Some even got a little early Christmas shop- ping done. Others attended part I to get into the yuletide spirit. There were hugs and kisses a i the exchange of gifts as the quar t came to a close.

It ' s Quite a Football Experience Michael Cheek Football, for the second year in a row, has become a ticket to Tacoma. In the play-offs, our Eagles played the first two games at Paulson Stadium. And this became an opportunity for me to get a better look at football. But I found more than football. Being the yearbook editor, I ac- quired press passes for the home games, which are then given to photographers and, if possible, a sports staff member. As it turned out during the play- offs, no sports writer returned or stayed for either game and I had the opportunity to cover the game. It, at first, felt reminiscent of my high school soccer days, but as soon as the team hit the field, I noticed something different. The noise. The fans in the stands screamed, whistled, and clapped. It all merg- ed into one big roar. And it charged the stadium alive with an Eagle Electricity. I couldn ' t help but feel proud for my school. The kickoff. Suddenly I realized I wasn ' t in the stands. What once appeared as miniature humans came alive on the field. Although each player represented GSC, the game became surprisingly personal. There were people, individuals, and you could hear them sack one another. And with that, a grunt of pain and determination. I had already developed a healthy respect for our players and the job they do. After being in- volved with a sports team myself in high school, I know how much work goes into a team effort. But at that moment, I was slight- ly at awe at the task these people had taken on themselves and struggle they were raging. Beyond the action on the field, there was some on the sideline as well. Coaches, including Erk Russell, pacing up and down the field yelling instructions, giving praise and chastising errors. Sports medicine and other assistants and managers following coaches and helping players. The players themselves, responding quickly to every request made by coaches. And then, there was the bunch I was in: the press. I felt a little unusual at first shar- The noise ... It all merged into one big roar.

I didn ' t even try to get out into that mess, laughed senior Susan Eddy. New Year ' s Eve was a time for old and new friends to get together. Most headed toward the bright lights of Atlanta to party the night away, while still others got together with good friends and had small parties.

The MLK Holiday: As the Dream Lives On, Well Never Turn Back Shane Cobb Although most students were ecstatic that classes were cancelled on January 19, few realized the significance of their day off. The campus was closed to mark the observance of the first national holiday in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dubbed ' King Day, ' this somewhat controversial holiday was held both to remember one of two Georgians to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and to emphasize that America can look back, but should Never Turn Back to the period of social unrest that made Dr. King famous.

It wasn ' t an unusual event. The springtime romance season happens every year. But recently, the time of love received a special warning from the Surgeon General. In view of recent developments, the sexual attitudes of students have changed. In 1962, with the in- troduction of the pill, the sexual revolution appeared on the scene, beginning on many college cam- puses.

And for both squads, it turned out to be one of the finest seasons ever. The men came out of nowhere to take the Trans America Athletic Conference title in a tournament held in Little Rock, Arkansas. The Eagles upset top seeded University of Arkansas-Little Rock on the Tro- jans ' home court on their way to taking the championship against Stetson. The Lady Eagles blew through their competition all season long, entering the New South Women ' s Athletic Conference Tournament as the number one seed. The Lady Eagles hosted the 1987 tournament and proved to be inhospitable hosts, sweeping both of their games on their way to capturing their first NSWAC championship. Capping off a season of thrilling play was the appearance of the Eagles in the NCAA playoffs in front of a national TV audience. Their opponent in the first round contest was the Top 10 Syracuse Orangemen. The Eagles were at a great disadvantage because the game was played in the 30,000 plus seat Carrier Dome, Syracuse ' s home court. After a furious comeback that put them ahead at halftime, the Eagles continued to give the Orangemen a run for their money but came up short in the end, 73-79. Upon their return from New York, the Eagles were given a warm welcome at Hanner Fieldhouse.

While the kids played, brents and GSC students strolled jzily around the circle looking at he different types of art on isplay. The Youth Arts Festival was held n Saturday March 14.

Activities, which were conducted by GSC students representing various organizations included games, face painting, marble pain- ting, puppet making, and working with clay.

Sweetheart Cir- cle drew frisbee players and cruisers, while the lake was crowded with scholastic sun- bathers. St. Patrick ' s Day was at the beginning of finals week, giving students one last chance to party before cramming for finals began. Most of GSC ' s 7,600 students claimed to be Irish, at least for the day, and partied at Thursday ' s, the Sigma Nu Kappa Delta Shamrock party, and at Savannah ' s version of Mardi Gras, St. Patty ' s Day on Riverstreet. In between all the partying, students somehow found time to study. Spring breakers that were ready to head off for the warm sun- ny beaches of Florida were distressed when they found out that their adventure would be delayed a day because some finals were being held on Saturday. In between all the partying students somehow found time to study. As always, the end of the quarter was hectic.

After all, everyone needs an escape. Between classes and aside studying, one can find students chasing the ever elusive concept called FUN. There are varying ways to ac- complish this phenomenon. Most students consider the every popular party as the most fun one could have. As well as the fact there are several types of parties. First up, most commonly thought by parents as they wave good-bye to their little boy or girl as they head off to that party place, college, is the get- ' em-up, drink- ' em-down, boozer type of get-together; the drunken bash. Though few and far between (and if you believe that, I ' ve got a seaside plantation for sale in western Missouri), these get- togethers are usually (notice I said usually ) calm and uneventful. Then there ' s the just plain old party, with dancing, chips, dips, punch, and other assorted goodies with great conversation and a lot of music. The intellectuals may gather together ' round a table and play Trivial Pursuit, a favorite for many. It has been known to cause arguments, though.

Then, by some stroke of luck, found some decent tapes that were left after the local mob nabbed all of them. Partying aside, one can relieve the craving for a good time in many other ways. A time alone to reflect on those difficulties of life may result in the computer game. Whether with a personal com- puter, or one of the many and popular Sarah ' s arcade varieties, the game allows one to blast away at term papers, roommates and professors. Perhaps, while in Sarah ' s, you can challenge that roommate to a duel on the pool table to show him her your superiority and put him her into their proper place. And if you ' re feeling ever more physical than that, proceed to Hanner where healthy frustration relief and fun takes place on the tennis, racquetball, or basketball courts. Perhaps a lap or two at the pool, or a hundred reps or so in the weight room. But perhaps there ' s a little vengence that cannot be satisfied in the arena Practical jokes are popular, and among the most favorite is the rolling or polishing of cars. If the amount of toilet paper students use rolling cars was donated to third world countries, most diplomatic problems would be solved. Not to mention the fact most shoe polish companies are kept in business by over-zealous college students wishing to leave a mark on life. Perhaps one thing that can be established is the fact that col- lege students do know how to en- joy fun to its maximum. And Southern students certainly know how to PAR TY! Trivial games like Monopoly, checkers, chess, and Scrabble have not died. The trivia craze has caused some damage. The Trivial Pursuit game was created by two people while they were drunk. And many students, as well, have attempted t o play this game in a similar condition. 75 IN THE LIMELIGHT Entertainment is a major part of college. Beside normal partying, TV and movies are the major sources of relief from ' Boro boredom. Although the movie industry felt threatened by cable televi- sion and rental video tapes, the popularity of the big screen hasn ' t seemed to die. Amidst some certain bombs, there have been some stars that haven ' t diminished. Tom Cruise seemed to be the most popular among col- lege students, especially of the female gender. Even though Cruise ' s looks may have sold a few tickets, Top Gun didn ' t gross all of the big bucks on his fine bod, as one student put it. Reasons for the favoritism vary from the photography CAB projectionist Nancy Saboda prepares to show the final presentation of The Color Purple.

Music Television, better known as MTV, popularized the movie even more with the music videos from the likes of Kenny Loggins and Loverboy. TG was not alone in popularity among students. Aliens, the sequel of the 1979 thriller Alien, scared the wits out of several brave souls. Sigourney Weaver returned as Ripley to battle these nasty creatures that enjoy nesting young in human hosts. Considered the best horror flick of the year, some students even refused to see the movie. However, those watching it praised the flawlessness of the film: I really felt like I was there — in outer space!

Second place went to television, the old boob tube. Although students are always busy with studies and other things of importance, some find time to catch their favorite soap opera. Still others set aside a weekly weekly time to view their favorite sit-com or drama, be- ing Magnum or Cheers, Cosby or Hill Street Blues, Dynasty or L.A. Law.

They both either look great on you or they don ' t. So, what ' s the big deal? The big deal is clothing. It seems that everyone is trying to make a fashion statement, as can easily be seen on cam- pus. Either you try to dress like everyone else or you dress totally different.

Stylish women have come to find that even denim can look good with the right ac- cessories. Long prairie skirts are teamed with silver belts and jewelry, and denim dresses are accented with lace. On the other end of the fashion spectrum is something that has become popular in just the last two years — beachwear. Jams, tanks, sweats, and mini-skirts dominate the scene. Originally this was called the surfer look, but the great thing about it is that it looks good on just about anybody. Continued . . . 78 . . . Continued Some people don ' t even realize they are making a fashion statement. The easy going knock-about clothing of today is both practical and high fashion. There is no greater feeling in the world than to pull on those favorite Levi ' s that have been around for awhile. Pair them with a matching jacket and you have the basic college uniform. When high fashion meets comfort you have paradise. Co-eds love the new over- sized shirts that can be found in about any color, shape, and form. The students at GSC show their individuality daily by the way they dress. It ' s new, it ' s old, it ' s today, it ' s yesterday, and it ' s catered to one ' s own taste. That is what fashion is. Taking a moment to scan the latest magazine, Michelle Trizzmo checks to see if she ' s still in fashion. The preppy look is no longer just Izods and Oxfords, Pam Madison relies on denium prairie dress accented by lace as Tom Pagani prefers kajkis, a tie and sweater. OLD VERSES NEWS ITUry crazes may develop to one day be considered true classics. A fad — what is it? Accord- ing to Mr. Webster, it is a tem- porary style, amusement or fashion with an unknown origin. Even though most are temporary, such as the pet rock or Rubik ' s Cube, there are those few rare fads that survive time and become classics. The classics become a part of the American way. Many have become extremely popular on campus. One that has continued to rapidly grow and develop is stuffed animals. The fuzzy crit- ters can be found in most dorm rooms and are readily available at the bookstore and local shops. The Snuggle bear, sparked by a fabric softner commer- cial, is being promoted. Other products created creatures, like the Hush Puppy. Many creatures have grown from popular comics. The latest, Opus, from Bloom County, penned by Universi- ty of Texas graduate Berke Breathed, promised to be the most popular choice at Christmas. Bloom County appears to be the most popular comic strip among students. Gar- field, Doonesbury and The Far Side follow closely. Although these may not be as classic as Peanuts and Family Circle, the comics promise to be the classics of tomorrow. 80 ■ The Paper Chase for the latest news puts students against one another. Sometimes college seems a little isolated from the rest of the world. Students are con- cerned with academics and partying, sometimes the news across campus, indeed around the world, becomes a secondary concern. Mornings in Sarah ' s one must arrive early to get a copy of The Atlanta Constitution. Some opt for the Savannah Morning News or the Statesboro Herald. Of course, there is always the library to catch up with newspapers from several towns, like Chicago, London and even Claxton. On-campus, rivals between The Eagle and The George- Anne continues after five years. Both publications have made some changes in for- mat. The Eagle reduced to a tabloid size. The George-Anne added a new magazine suppliment for homecoming called Southern Bound.

The remainders of the latest paper chase. A day later, this stack diminished as students picked up the first copy of Southern Bound. Bound featured two full color photographs. Staff members plan to publish a copy of the magazine quarterly. The papers, as well, seem to have certain popularity among students. The Eagle wants students to get per- sonal. Each week, the Wednesday paper ' s classifieds are read exhibiting anger, love, loneliness, and other emotions. The G-A features the picks of the preps, Dash Riprock and Biff Condor, also known as sports editor Mike Mills and assistant editor Lance Smith. In their weekly column Prep- py Picks, the two choose win- ners and losers of upcoming football games. There is a continued hunger for information, from the inter- national headlines, to local gossip. There ' s no doubt students want to know what ' s going on. Without time to watch television, the next best way to catch up is by reading. mm ir W Ml . « 4fll jfit -1 The GSC Marching Band: Marching to a Different Beat I by Mark Cothern | Picture if you will marching bands, smiling majorettes, colorful flags and squads of precision rifles. What comes to mind? If you are like most students here at GSC, it couldn ' t be anything else but another great halftime show pro- vided by the Southern Marching Band. Sounds like a lot of fun, doesn ' t it? But have you ever considered how much work goes into produc- ing a 12 minute show? I work between 80 and 100 hours creating a complete halftime show, said Dr. Jerrold Michaelsonm, Director of Bands. I ' m not really sure, however, that the majority appreciates what we do. It ' s definitely worth the effort though. This year the band appeared in nine performances, which included five halftime shows, pep rallies, Eaglefest and parades. The highlight of the season was traveling to the University of Cen- tral Florida game, then marching in a parade at Walt Disney World the next day, said Michaelson. Besides Michaelson, several other people help bring the shows together including Barbara Greaves, graduate assistant; Michael Dukes and Terrell Izzard, drum majors; Tau Beta Sigma, the band fraternity; Holly Anderson, colorguard coordinator; and Jamie Black, majorette captain. The position of graduate assis- tant is new, created to assist Michaelson in an administrative capacity. I did whatever needed to be done, Greaves said. Drum majors Michael Dukes and Terrell Izzard led the band through 12 hours of painstaking rehearsal each week. Besides working about ten hours a week learning the music, they were also responsible for keeping attendance at rehears- als, running sectionals and keeping 120 people motivated. It ' s real hard to stay ' up ' all of the time, explained Izzard. Part of being a drum major is keeping a positive outlook no matter how badly the rehearsal goes or how badly we ' re (the football team) be- ing beaten. Another new addition was Tau Beta Sigma Band Fraternity. Some of the many things they did to help the band includes bringing ice water to the games, supplying a first aid and repair kit, performing a uniform repair service and design- ing band sweatshirts. As well, members are cataloguing the music library on computer and assem- bling an alumni band file for future use. The colorguard hit the field in striking new white and gold uniforms which added a splash of color to the look of the band. I worked about 24 hours a week outside band practice making up routines, colorguard coordinator Holly Anderson stated. Then it took about eight hours of extra rehearsals to teach them to the guard. The colorguard, a co-educational flag and rifle auxiliary unit, was featured each show with their ex- citing routines.

The majorette line improved vastly due to the hard work of Jamie Black, majorette captain. It takes me about three hours to make up each routine. Then you ' ve got to add in about six hours to teach the three routines for the show. That ' s a lot of twirling, said Black. But it paid off in the end, she added. We had the best squad since the band program began. Even though it looks like fun, putting together a halftime show is a lot of work. From band camp in September to playoff near Thanksgiving, these students eat, live and work together to produce a quality performance. Is it worth it? Just ask one of the 120 band members. If you can ' t wait, the answer is a resounding YES. STRONG LUNGS are required for most wind instruments. Not only does a band member have to play the instrument, but has to march in correct formation.

We park our car, step out, and begin to walk through the campus. This campus welcomes visitors pleasantly with a charm of its own. The flowers bloom in bright vibrant colors as yellow and black bees forage for the sweet nectar, stopping briefly at one, then mov- ing to the next. The trees are tall and gnarled with age, but provide a cool shade to walk under. Sunlight glistens off the lake ' s surface. Meanwhile, a mother duck guides her ducklings across the lake to where the geese rest. Turtles stick their heads above by Michael Cheek water for a moment to bask in the sun ' s heat. And fish scamper to the surface to fight for the bits of floating bread . . . As the sun dives slowly behind the horizon, frogs come from the water, to feed briefly near the lake. Songs of thousands of crickets echo. The cheerful day birds ' whistles die as the night music comes to life. And dancing fireflies light the night. The moon stands still and full on the navy blue skyscape. The final fire from the sun paints the horizon orange, and pink and then it disappears, leaving the stars to light the Southern sky. And we must leave, but such £ day is everyday on our campus — if we just look . . . and see. The beauty of our campus is natural, yet preserved. During spring quarter 1986, campus im- provement measures began anc the efforts continue to presenl themselves. Whether it be new grass, flowers or walkways, there ' s no denying the fact our grounds present a special form of Southern beauty. A LEISURELY WALK by the lakes on a bright Sunday is a favorite for area residents. A father brought his children to feed bread to the geese and ducks.

Waking up in the morning, as we all know, is a hassle, but knowing that I don ' t have to wait in line for the shower makes it bearable. There also will be no more waiting in line at Landrum because now I have my own kitchen. And, no more being told to be quiet or turn your stereo down because now I am my own RA. Freedom and independence are the two things that high school kids dream of having when they go away to college. A first apartment offers this experience. It is more than just a place to live, it ' s more than a residential hall or a dorm, it ' s home. A first apartment allows its residents to exercise their own authority and make their own deci- sions. But, from freedom and in- dependence stems responsibility, in which the resident is re-sponsible. Ap artment residents are respon- sible for paying the rent and the bills — a mere drop in the bucket of freedom. Well, not really. Ac- tually, paying additional bills is quite a task, especially for those unaccustomed to and unsuspecting of high water, phone, cable or power bills. But, there ' s more to apartment dwelling than paying bills. That ' s right, cleaning. Now there ' s a scary word. Cleaning is boring and time consuming, not to mention unde- sirable and sometimes, unsuc- cessful. Fortunately, the bout for freedom always seems to outweigh the unsuppressed abhorrence for cleaning, an essential. Many students see their first apartment as something to care for and take pride in. I ' m proud of my apartment because itis a place I can call my own, says one GSC apart- ment dweller. Living in a place you care about, makes up for the added respor sibilities. Just as freedom afforc; apartment residents independenc responsibility gives them e) perience with the independeil handling of financial affairs. Ge I ting your first apartment is the em perience of a lifetime, it ' s exciting and efficient. Its value is somethirirs that is not discovered right awa i. Instead, one grows to care aboi l their first apartment and to lean more responsibility.

Huh? Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but it also means having to get along well with other people, living by the rules of the dorm you live in, and maybe worst of all, sharing a bathroom with over 25 other people. For most, getting along comes naturally. That is until others start to cramp or constrict your lifestyle. In most dorms on campus there ex- ists quiet hours ; this is a time when all conform and are quiet. In any event that someone doesn ' t adhere to the rule, then a Resident Assistant (RA) is there to keep the peace. These dedicated few enforce all rules and regulations of a dorm. But more than just keeping the peace, RAs are specially trained to help students that are having prob- lems, whether personal, roommate or academic. Horror of horrors, it ' s true, when living in a dorm, you do have to share a bathroom with 25 others! If you like your privacy at 8 a.m. because, at that hour in the morn- ing, you sound and feel awful, but you look even worse, you are out of luck. In spite of poking fun at dorm life, it does in fact serve an impor- tant service. A lot of in-coming freshmen have left home for the first time. When it gets scary, a dorm can bring these people together to comfort each other thereby developing among dorm- mates a spirit of brotherhood or sisterhood. The most important part of dorm life is that one is able to develop true, meaningful, lasting friend- ships.

The need to alleviate this boredom has become too great to resist. But what is there to do: Well it ' s nice to visit with friends but shoot, they ' re suffering from boredom too. To get out of the dorm and burn off energy why not take a walk around campus. If you really get desperate why not read another chapter for literature or better yet how about getting all those bored souls together and planning a Pantie Jock Raid . . . Georgia Southern Style. How do you plan a pantie jock raid (Southern Style)? It ' s quite simple. Telephone a comrade in an unsuspecting dorm and have them prop the door. Then get your troops together and inform them of the dorm(s) under attack. The troops then must steal stealthily through the night without being noticed by security. As you approach the chosen dorm, your heartrate quickens and your palms begin to sweat. You enter through the propped door, then the group disburses and runs up and down the halls yelling for panties jocks. Of course, the Resident Assistants (RAs) answer the yells and screams of delight with threats of reporting all involved. Being discovered all flee with what pan- ties jocks they obtained thus far. The question now is, what to do with these panties jocks ob- tained? How about hanging them in an obvious place in Landrum or tying to a car antenna. It ' s all up to you. Now wasn ' t that fun?!

As well, there are just as many types of parties. But the party atmosphere at GSC has changed drastically in recent years. The Georgia State Legislature took action a few years ago under pressure from the federal govern- ment to up the drinking age. Georgia complied. September 1985: the age jumped to 20 years old. September 1986: the age climbed again to 21. Students reacted differently to the age change. Some simply seemed unconcerned: It really doesn ' t bother me. I don ' t drink. Some were apathetic to the issue: Hey, I can get it if I want it. But others were outraged. Tai Federico, a sophomore from LaFayette, exclaimed, I ' m old enough to die for my country, I should be old enough to drink, dammit! Nevertheless, the age increased without a grandfather clause. The community cracked down as local beer and wine sellers started carding everyone. A statewide concern of the change is in the increase use of fake identifications. Many students use them. Some IDs are altered while others are borrowed. But more than the reduction of availability of alcohol to underaged students, it has altered the style of entertainme nt college students seek. Entertainment has changed completely, commented Gina Neville, GSC Print Shop staff member. It used to be ' get drunk as a skunk, ' but now students ' tastes are different. Either way, the promiscuous par- ty spirit has changed in recent years. Alcohol vending stores and local pubs are cracking down and no longer catering to underaged students.

Life at a Suitcase College by Cathy McNamara What are you doing this weekend? someone asks. This weekend? responds another while scratching his head in thought. Well, is there anything going on? he hates to ask because he already knows the answer. No. No? Well, I guess I ' ll go home. The unrestrained spirit of the campus that is so vividly apparent throughout the week, especially on Thursdays, is somehow lost, packed away, or temporarily con- tained in the suitcases of those who flee homeward each and every weekend. The ritual of evacuating the parking lots on Friday after- noons and driving home is com- monly referred to as the suitcase college syndrome, making GSC no exception. In many cases, going home for the weekend is essential. The issue here seems to be money. I ' d like to stay here for the weekend but I don ' t have any money is an ex- cuse heard a lot on campus. On the other hand, boyfriends, girlfriends, moms, or dads at home contribute to the decrease in population on weekends. I live for Fridays when I can go visit my boyfriend for the weekend, says Tammy Brown. The reason I leave GSC on the weekends is not because it ' s not fun, but when the weekends come I save them for my boyfriend. At times, a change in atmosphere is necessary. Boredom contributes to weekend homeward plights. Be- ing a small town, Statesboro has far less to offer in terms of entertain- ment in comparison to other, larger towns. Despite the fact that GSC has been termed one of the many suit- case colleges, it still holds for us good times and good frieni Because many students tra v home on Fridays for the weeken Thurdsay night is designated pi ty night in which memories o place called Thursdays will cam on throughout the years instead i memories of a desolate campus : the weekends.

The parking lots are empty save for a few scattered cars and the streets and sidewalks almost scream silence. What do the few who are left behind do, especially when funds are low? Why, of course they go and cruise the mall, with friends. First stop, the drug store. Here friends browse over the colorful make up displays and spray on various scents that provoke much conversation over the scents appeal to the senses. Next stop, one of the many clothing stores in the mall. That dress in blue would be devastating. Jeans, blouses, sweaters, scarves, dresses and shoes are mixed and matched. Sometimes the results meet with ogled looks impression and at other times fits of laughter. Even when money is tight, amuse- ment can be found in playing dress-up. After a long day of window shopping, everyone is usually hungry. Some options are Vandy ' s barbe- que or a hamburger and fries from Dairy Queen.

Most problems en- countered by students can be routed to the appropriate ad- ministrative department by way of the student government. Besides acting as a liaison, the SGA serves the student population in a number of other ways. Members of SGA represent the stu- dent body on a number of commit- tees thereby often improving upon school policies. The SGA is responsible for the yearly publication of the campus student directory. The event that SGA is most noted for on campus is its involvement in the quarterly or yearly rental of televisions and refrigerators to students. To expand its personal involve- ment with students, SGA spon- sored weekend trips, dances and other activities of which students could participate. Five SGA officers are elected each spring quarter and take office on May 1 of each year. Within two weeks of the first day of the follow- SGA: The Middle M an by Staci DuLaney ing fall quarter, 18 senators are elected from residence halls and seven are elected by campus wide elections. The members work with local merchants, landlords and the city government to help initiate student programs. The purpose of the SGA is to voice student opinions in such a manner as to warrant a positive reaction from those in the ad- ministration. The governing body of 1986-87 performed these duties and more. Through hard work and determination SGA has paved the way for further improvements in the years to come.

In Addition to Texts, the GSC Bookstore Provides A L ittle Bit of Everythin g | by Annette Benton Some form of the bookstore has been around since the 1930 ' s. Though the staff and merchandise have changed little else, save the addition of the Warehouse. The primary function of the bookstore is to supply students with books needed for classes and other school supplies. However, the bookstore also stocks merchan- dise su ch as school embossed paraphernalia, medicines, beauty aids, grocery items and VCRs. This variety in stock explains why there is so much activity at the bookstore. With the addition of this type of merchandise the need for more space has become apparent. Hence, there are plans to relocate the store to an area with adequate space for the ever growing needs of the students. This venture will hopefully be executed in the fall of 1988. The bookstore does have somewhat of a monopoly or students ' patronage, but it doesn ' i choose the prices of the books Prices are determined by a publisher ' s list price. The efficient and pleasanti management and staff at tho bookstore contribute to the success of the store. With their help on those hectic first few days oi school, students quickly find th h books and supplies they need fot their classes.

To allow possible students to meet present students, the Admis- sions office created the Sting program. Sting is made up of eight current students.

For many, it is their first time away from family, friends and other familiarities that represent security. The transition is doubly hard if one chooses to attend an institution at which they are in the racial minority. In 1982, the University System of Georgia Board of Regents issued a mandate to all colleges stating that programs be initiated to make the settling in transition for minorities easier — particularly during fall quarter. Georgia Southern responded to the order by beginning the Minori- ty Advisement Program. Though this program has been in effect since 1982, not many knew of its existence until the fall quarter of the 1986-87 academic year when Kathy Robinson, a new member of the counseling center, was ap- pointed as head of the program. One hundred thirty-four letters were sent to upperclassmen, during the summer of 1986, soliciting their participation in the program as M.A.P. sponsors. Very few of these 134 responded. Ordinarily, this lack of interest would have resulted in the extinc- tion of the program. Not this year. The MAP was comprised of 33 students acting as sponsors, big brothers and big sisters, as they are most commonly referred, to 260 freshmen specials or little brothers and sisters. The sponsors acted as guides, companions, best friends and catalyst for involvement in the various campus activities — most of which incoming freshmen know nothing about. Though participation was a little lower than expected, the 1986- 1987 MAP can safely be considered a success. A number of freshmen who participated as specials are now looking forward to acting as sponsors to the 1987-1988 in- coming freshmen.

Each is within walking distance of the residence halls, accepts cash and or student meal cards and provides good service to the GSC community. Sarah ' s, which in most cases ap- pears to be the 2 eating spot on campus, second only to Landrum, the college cafeteria, affords students the luxury of eating with friends in a busy, but comfortable atmosphere. The menu at Sarah ' s ranges from hot dogs and ham- burgers to steak dinners and shrimp baskets. For student enter- tainment it contains video games, billiard tables, sofas for those who want to study or just lay back and relax and a television. In many cases when a full meal isn ' t desirable, Sarah ' s is 1 on the list. The Deck Shoppe and the Pine ' s Snack Bar are more or less our cold cuts and sub stations on campus for the student who is counting IN THE PINES snack bar offers pizza and deli sandwiches. There is also a swimm- ing pool and laundry mat near by. calories or just likes to eat light these are the places for you. The Pine ' s Snack Bar also offers pizza and a salad bar. The Educated Palate, the newest member of the GSC restaurant chain, offers students the luxuries and comforts of fine dining at affordable prices. Not only students, but instructors and members of the Statesboro com- munity dine at the Educated Palate. Everyone who has eaten here loves it. They offer a large variety of foods and beverages.

Over the years it has become a popular meeting place where students cannot only enjoy a decent meal, but also socialize with old and new friends. To maintain such an at- mosphere, Landrum has undergone some important changes with the hope of making it a more attractive and comfortable place to dine. During this past sum- mer, for instance, workmen remodeled the service equipment and installed new floor tiles. Also, repairs to the ceilings were made, including the addition of brighter lights to alleviate the abundance of shadows. These changes were done to more or less improve the flow of by Donald Watson traffic and to enhance the ap- pearance of that area, said Thomas P. Palfy, director of Food Services. He added that this region often looked dark, which gave it a dirty appearance. Other changes noticed by students have been a larger salad bar area and an increase in ice cream and beverage selection. The creation of a fifth meal plan, called the Maximum Flexibility Plan (MFP), has affected Landrum also. Under such a plan, students can open an account with food services and the cost of each meal is deducted when he she chooses to eat. The major advantage of this system is that money is not spent for those meals not eaten. In addition to the MFP, food services now publishes a bi-weekly newsletter containing Landrum ' s menus for the coming two weeks. The menus give information con- cerning the nutritional and caloric value of certain foods. Palfy noted that although the newsletter is helpful it is extreme- ly difficult to start a menu for the entire quarter and stick to it. Shortages in delivery and other problems may occur. The drastic increase in enroll- ment predicted for fall quarter ' 87 is expected to bring even more modifications to the Landrum Center dining hall. Palfy wants to enlarge the seating capacity of the facility by relocating the mail center to another spot on the cam- pus, which would add 325 more seats to the current number of 436. Palfy hopes to get the approval for the expansion by at least the end of spring quarter.

Well, those hunger pangs have just struck and all of the eating places on campus are closed. What are you going to do? Usually, pizza is the first choice because it can be delivered directly to dorms. A resourceful student is always equipped with pizza coupons. Then again, a submarine sandwich with potato chips sounds just as appetizing. If you have a car, then the choices are expanded. You may choose an all night cafe, one of many hamburger places close by or even a seafood place. As a last, desperate resort, you can always walk to a nearby conve- nience store that is open 24-hours. If you can survive on just a snack to tide you over until the following day, the dormitory vending machines are stocked with candy bars, potato chips, cookies and sodas. With this condensed guide to food emergencies, you should have no problems whatsoever making it through the night.

Hear GSC on WVGS by Staci DuLaney GSC has it all: the best student body in the state of Georgia, an academic program to rival any other institution of higher learning, championship sports teams and a radio station that does its best to play the hits that we want to hear. We are familiar with the student body, academics and sports, but very few of us are aware of the ins and outs of WVGS. WVGS is the only non- commercial, college progressive, music oriented, FM radio station in southeast Georgia. The transmis- sion capability is 8000 watts; however, WVGS broadcasts regularly at 1000 watts. College radio stations, according to disc jockey Chris Pike, are known across the United States as producing an avant garde format. College radio stations in general play music from unknown groups, and groups from independent or smaller record labels that commer- cial radio usually will not play. They also play music from labels that produce groups that are trying to make social or political statements as opposed to bubble gum sounding groups that talk about boy loving girl, girl loving boy. WVGS and other college stations are thought of as being the testing ground for top 40 stations. How does one become a disc jockey at WVGS? At the beginning of each quarter a meeting is held for prospective dj ' s, a FCC license application as well as a station in- formation sheet must be filled out, training is received, a take home test is given and once approved the dj, must be able to show up at the designated times. Okay, so the dj has been ac- cepted as a part of the WVGS staff, but what does he or she do besides play the latest tunes? The dj ' s duties also entail keeping a written log of what is broadcast, taking transmitter readings, broadcasting public service announcements and keeping abreast of the National Emergency Broadcast System. There are limitations as to what can be broadcasted. Fletcher Faircloth, music director, receives records from various companies. From these records, he decides what goes into the New Music Box (a box of 100 albums). Classic rock, jazz, et a l is available at the library. The overall format of record play at WVGS is New Music, Classic Rock, Jazz and Urban Contemporary. The student advisor of WVGS is Dr. Russell Dewey, Ph.D. of psychology. ON THE AIR, deejay Tom Lopez operates the controls before announcing the next song to be broadcast from the WVGS studio, located in Williams Center.

The staff was small but dedicated who attempted to capture the in- teresting aspects of college life. These hard working journalists in- corporated many different ideas from the past years ' papers and although readership was up, not everything printed was well received. Occasionally, the feathers of pro- fessors, groups and students were ruffled. But as any journalist will tell you, not everyone can be pleased. Every week is a hectic week for The George-Anne. Section editors must brainstorm new ideas for stories and make sure writers turn them in on time. When The George-Anne comes out every Thursday, copy for the next week ' s paper is already being turned in. Thanks to The George-Anne ' s friends of Pi Sigma Epsilon, the paper is able to print because of the hard work they do selling ads. During fall quarter, The George-Anne produced the first ever magazine, Southern Bound. The magazine was a quarter-long project and its subsequent publishing enabled The George- Anne to win second place for the most improved college newspaper at the Georgia College Press Association Awards banquet in Athens. The paper also won third place for the best features section and managing editor Bekki Shriver won second place award among senior colleges for one of her feature stories. Among the more interesting stories covered by The George- Anne was its exclusive interview with evangelist Jim Gilles, known as Brother Jim. His controversial message left students talking about him for several weeks. Although The George-Anne started the year with only three returning members, the paper molded together a staff comprised of beginning journalists and through many trials and tribula- tions, produced a paper that students enjoyed reading. Different and sometimes con- troversial, The George-Anne did its part to make 1986-87 an in- teresting year.

It is the product of each and every staff member by way of expression and imagination. The yearbook covers not only important events, such as Homecoming and the National Championship Game, it attempts to discover the feeling within and the meaning behind events and customs that allow our school and our yearbook to be unique. The yearbook ' s charm is found within the different manners of ex- pression by the staff. The photographers capture candid life in pictures. Other staff members search for the most effective way to design layouts, while the writers ' tool of expression is the pen that scribbles the story and the hand that types the written account. Editor Michael Cheek takes these efforts and unites the book under one design and one concept, Southern Graffiti. ' Southern Graffiti ' is more than just painting on a rock, it ' s the emotion and the history and the people — it ' s everything that made this year, this Ca pturing the Mome nts by Cathy McNamara year! says Cheek. There is always hard work and trying times when it comes to doing a job well. But the most stressful periods are those leading up to a major deadline. What ' s so stressful about deadlines? They have to be met. Stories must be written, pictures must be taken, layouts must be drawn and graphics must be designed. And all at the sacrifice of organization. Has anyone seen that damn picture? Does anyone know who this person is (in a picture)? What are these girls doing in this picture with these skulls (check out page 223)? Organization is definitely not priority one in the midst of a deadline atmosphere. The Deadline Zone, as it is called, usually forces staff members to use colorful metaphors, throw old yearbooks at the wall, slap pica rulers on the table, rummage fran- tically for that picture that was here a minute ago, search endless- ly for a cropper, picture stickers, copy sheets, or whatever it takes to complete a layout, and last but not least, to have fun in the process. A Reflector staff person ' s work is never finished, but it is rewarding. It gives us a sens of accomplish- ment to present a book to 7,600 students, a book which shall become a part of the history it has attempted to capture. The completion of the yearbook is not the only gift we will be presented with. Taylor Publishing Company selected Reflector 1987 to overrun 100 extra copies to be distributed to representatives across the nation. A small piece of GSC will become an influence on several high schools, colleges and universities in the creation of their respective yearbooks. Years from now, as we look back on Reflector 1987, we will be reminded undoubtedly of the hard work and long hours we devoted to the captivation of the school year as we saw it. The purpose of Reflector 1987 is to trigger within us all, emotions past and present, by illustrating the most significant events with stories and pictures — accounts of the year 1987 at GSC.

GSC ' s magazine, Miscellany, is all this and more. The magazine solicits poetry, fiction and artwork from students. According to Jac quelyn Markham, faculty adviser to the magazine, its purpose is to provide a showcase for submitted poetry, fiction and artwork. I hope the publication will create an atmosphere that pro- motes and nurtures the creative abilities of the students. I want the campus to be receptive to students who are involved in ' Miscellany ' and encourage an environment in which students will submit creative works, said Markham. The staff of Miscellany is elected each spring for the follow- ing year. Pam Conway served as editor for the 1987 edition. Two poetry and fiction readings are sponsored by the magazine each quarter. During spring quarter, the magazine plans to award a first and second place cash prize for the categories of art, poetry and fiction in recognition of superior, creative projects. Winners are chosen by a jury of students, faculty and professionals. The event will be held at the Art Ga llery. Markham said she hopes to make this an annual event. Another poetry related publica- tion is titled after an Indian named river that flows close by: the Ogeechee. It is published quarterly and co-sponsors the poetry readings. Three students serve as editors. For the past year, Jeff Coleman, Sandy Hassapis and Nancy Morris were the editors under the guidance of adviser John Humma of the English department.

Located in the Rosenwald building right off Sweetheart Cir- cle, the museum plays host to many traveling exhibits throughout the year as well as being home for an ever growing collection of per- manent exhibits. This year the museum saw the completion of the skeletal recon- struction of an Atlantic bottle nose dolphin. This project, which was begun in 1984, represents the culmination of many hours of work by the museum staff. The dolphin skeleton, which is on display in the hall of natural history, is only one of many marine skeletons the museum staff is restoring. Also new at the museum this year was the seven and one half foot long boa constrictor, nick- named Jake the Snake, on display in the hall of natural histo- ry. This mammoth reptile has fascinated young and old visitors alike and is fast becoming one of the most popular displays with school groups. Jake and his handler Hairy Tom are both welcome ad- ditions to the museum ' s growing biology section. The Mosasaur reconstruction project moved into full swing this year and real progress has been made to move this feature towards completion. The Mosasaur is the flagship project of the museum and everyone involved is very happy to see such progress being made. The museum is much more than natural history. This year the museum hosted traveling exhibits on the space shuttle, Christmas toys, civil rights photography and Georgia Indians, to name a few. The museum hosted a number of guest speakers, oversaw the maintenance of the Herty nature trail and presented shows at the planetarium. The GSC museum is one of the treasures on campus and is always ready to help you learn more about the world around you. THE VOGTLE WHALE PROJECT was on- ly one of the skeletal marine life displays at the museum.

To- day there are approximately 7,000 students at GSC. Today, we can ' t do a lot of favors, says Sam Owens, postal supervisor, with so many students, we ' ve had to tighten operation. In recent years, the mail center ' s number of route stops, volume of mail and departmental accounts have doubled. Four years ago the mail center had two 15 year old mailing machines, the accounting machine was outdated and mail forwarding was done manually. Today, the mail center has two electronic machines for accounting, sealing and posting 420 letters per minute. An IBM PC provides a daily report of departmental postage. Mail for- warding is automated and hooked into the Registrar ' s office for ac- curacy. Landrum boxes are assigned by computer, eliminating long lines and paper work. Mechanical scales have been replaced by electronic scales with built in postal rates. A stamp ven- ding machine has relieved some of the congestion at the window and a new truck has been bought. In addition to the postal super- visor, the mail center employs an assistant postal supervisor, a mail clerk, five postal clerks and eight students working part-time. In the near future a number of changes will be witnessed, one be- ing that off campus students will no longer be required to have a lan- drum box. The mail center will be in temporary quarters during the construction of a new bookstore for 18 to 24 months. The mail centt will then relocate in what is cum rently the bookstore, giving thei twice as much space to efficient! process the mail. The mail center current location will provide moi t seating area for the cafeteria.

Couples take advantage of the beauty GSC and nature have to offer. They may venture by the lake. But sooner or later, they will wander hand-in- hand into Sweetheart Circle. The Circle is the heart of the campus. GSC grew from this area and has expanded out from there. Since the beginning of a school here, Sweetheart Circle has been there in one form or another. At one time, the sidewalk through the center was the dividing line be- tween sexes, and at other times it was a main drive to the Ad- ministration Building. Sweetheart Circle is now a favorite place for nearby dorm residences. Sunbathing, baseball, frisbee, football, studying, and other assorted activities are always happening during the spring, sum- mer and fall. And in the winter, people may be found star-gazing in the crisp air. Either way, Sweetheart Circle is a special place for our campus. DIFFERENT VIEWS of Sweetheart Circle. Southern Drive surrounds the heart of campus, used for sunbathing, sports, star- gazing and long walks.

Lick moved to the University of Maine, receiving a salary boost of $12,000. Harry Carter, vice president of academic affairs, is serving as interim presi- dent while a search committee spends a year interviewing ap- plicants to fill the position left va- cant by Lick. Carter stated in a recent inter- view, I think it was normal for him (Lick) to look for a new challenge. He said presidencies usually run seven to ten years in state schools. Lick had begun looking during the 1984-85 year when he was con- sidered for a job at Old Dominion University. This move surprised many professors and students, although many had known of Lick ' s search. Carter said the pro- cedure behind the scenes moved quickly and were kept out of the public ' s eye until everything was final. Dr. Lick did a lot for Georgia Southern, Carter emphasized. But just because we had a change over in the presidency doesn ' t mean we ' re going to have a sit- down year. Carter outlined his plans for the year. Many were initiated by Lick, including the addition of an engineering school. Although this addition was turned down by the Board of Regents (BOR) in June 1986, it will remain on the list of goals in GSC ' s future. The BOR decided instead to expand the ex- isting program at Georgia Tech located in Atlanta. The expansion of the nursing program, a master ' s degree in higher education and developing the bachelor ' s of studies degree are other academic challenges Carter plans to tackle. In addition, there will be a review of admission standards i pre-college courses will become ril quired for high school studen entering college in the fall of 1988 J Carter will continue to work fi an increase in GSC funding by tl BOR and state of Georgia. A Campus Master Plan commi tee will be examining facilities ar c the flow of traffic, both vehiculil and pedestrian, to project campp growth 10-15 years into the futun A major force will be the new stu dent union building. Architec decided on a location ani presented plans. What has become known as t . Battle for University Status w not be abandoned, but will be ov list of long term goals. I think t i issue is still there, Carl? expressed, and there ' s a lot of i terest. As soon as we have a n i president, he she will have to lo ) at it and see which directi) he she would like to go.

The man responsible for managing the physical and financial assets for GSC is Vice President for Business and Finance, Dr. Richard C. Armstrong. Dr. Armstrong is a Birm- ingham, Alabama, native and received a B.S. in Education from Auburn University in 1954. He was awarded a Master ' s degree in 1959 and in 1966 received his Ph.D. from Colum- bia University. Since January 1985, Dr. Armstrong has been a part of GSC. As for the influx of students, Dr. Armstrong feels it will re- quire a greater resource base; that is, an increase in state ap- propriated funds. The impact of a greater student population will be that it will bring more attention to GSC as one of tr more growing institutions in tr University System of Georgia. Acting President Dr. Harrisc S. Carter also serves as the VI President for Academic Affaii He is a 1966 graduate of GS He received his M.S. from U. International University in 19 ' and his Ph.D. from the UniverJ ty of Georgia in 1974. DR. A R M - STRONG at his desk goes over some current figures concerning GSC ' s growth.

But for some of GSC ' s top ad- ministrators, it was a totally new experience. Three schools lost and received a new dean: education, business and health, physical education, recrea- tion and nursing (HPERN). The new Dean of Education is Dr. Jack Miller. Miller hails from Chicago, Illinois and earned his degree from Ohio University, Northern Illinois and Purdue respectively. The new Dean of Business is Dr. Carl Gooding and the Dean of HPERN is Dr. Jerry Lafferty. Veterans returning include stu- dent affairs, graduate school, arts and sciences and technology. Dr. Jack Nolen is the Dean of Students and head of student af- fairs, which handles all aspects of student life. Nolen is from Florence, South Carolina and received his degrees from Furman University and Florida State. Dr. Charlene Black heads the graduate school. She is from Marietta and earned her degree from University of Georgia and Vanderbilt University. Dean of Arts and Sciences is Dr. Warren Jones, Jr. from Kentucky. He was educated at Union Univer- sity, Peabody College and Vander- bilt University respectively. Dr. James Manring is Dean of Technology. Manring got his degrees from the University of Florida. All the deans are concerned with the high influx of students next year. Miller commented, It ' s going to be tough, but we ' re going to have to be flexible.

The names of these students appear in the publication on Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. The 1987 edition of Who ' s Who will include the names of ten outstanding students from GSC. These students were selected based on their academic achievement, community service, extracurricular leadership and future success potential. The selected students are Lee Davis, Keith Hamilton, Terrell Iz- zard, Jennifer Jones, Melony Manor, William McGarrity, Lisa Parrish, Rebecca Shriver, Penny Vaughan and Teresa Wells. Davis is a political science major from Ocilla and is actively involved with Model UN, The George- Anne and is a member of the Bell Honors Program. Hamilton, a chemistry major from Port Went- worth, served as director of the College Activities Board. Izzard is a musical theory and composition major from Hinesville and was a drum major in the band. Jones, from Louisville, held the of- fice of president for Pi Sigma Ep- silon and is an information systems major. Manor, the president of the Council of Teachers of English, is an English major from Brunswick. McGarrity is a history major from Winter Haven, Florida. Parrish, an active member of the Association for Computer Machinery, is from Statesboro and is a computer science major.

It is a customary practice of ours to complain about registration for classes: getting the ones we want at the times we want. Many of us have never given serious thought to what it would be like to schedule classes an hour or two apart to allow ample time to get there. This is a major concern for handicapped students. Handicapped students, in some cases, have twice the trouble of some of their colleagues. Getting to class on time could mean starting out anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour prior to class. If the building is equipped with stairs, as are most GSC buildings, they must use elevators — which are not always operating, often causing these students to miss a class. The weather is also a major factor. When it rains it is often difficult for students to get to and from class. Mike Cain, one of GSC ' s han- dicapped students, said People here are really helpful, if someone sees me having a difficult time they will usually offer to help. Mike is a communications major and plans to have a career in television and film. He has a radio show on the campus radio station WVGS on Mondays from 11-1. His hobbies include radio and girl chasing. Another handicapped student, Diane Stock, said, The people at GSC are very nice, students and in- structors alike. Instructors are also really helpful both in and out of the classroom. She feels that GSC, in itself, has a pleasant and relaxed at- mosphere. Diane is concerned about the possibility of an over- crowded campus. Since we won the national championship our popularity has peaked. High school seniors from everywhere seem to want to join our big, happy family. Diane is a sophomore and an early childhood development ma- jor. She enjoys working with children. When asked about restric- tions incurred by her handicap, Diane replied, In no way does my handicap limit my ability to do the things I like to do. Her favorite pastimes are reading and travelling when time allows it. GSC ' s community is growing very rapidly. Along with its growth have come a change of attitude in the student body toward handi- capped students and a change in the facilities to make life as comfortable as possible for these special people.

Some at- tribute the increase in enrollment in recent years to the football champion- ships. Future Holds Uncer- tainty Due to Pre dicted Population Ex plosion I by Michael Cheek As the year progressed, students, administrators and professors alike became a bit paranoid about the future of GSC. The most pessimistic figures for 1987-88 enrollment put it at 8,500, an in- crease of almost 1,000. After the largest increase at the opening in fall 1986, the campus exploded with overbooked housing on-campus and near capacity filled off-campus. Fall of 1987 might see up to 600 freshmen living off-campus. Rumors shot across campus like wildfire with reports of possible lotteries for dorm rooms. Not only will the housing cause difficulties, but food services will be facing similar dilemma. Pro- posals that have been considered include moving the Mail Center and expanding the seating area. However, with all the planning, the fact still remains that all of the figures are estimates based on cur- rent accepted applications using averages from past years. Therefore there is quite a bit of uncertainty in the actual figures until students arrive in September. Most changes in all areas will probably be implemented early in the academic year. But one of the major worries of long time employees, community members and some students is the sociological effects the growth wi, cause. In past years, GSC has bee known for its charm and attractioi to students. It has a warm, frieno ly, caring psychology, as Dr. Lici used to say. GSC ' s reputation also include the feeling that it was small enougi to be personable, but large enougi to offer a lot and a challenge. And the future of all this uncertain as well. But uncertainty ) part of the future, which something to be accepted. But there is no doubt the futun: has a lot in store for GSC, includir growth.

CAB is one of the organizations funded by the college activity fees paid each quarter by students. Par- ticipation in the activities spon- sored by CAB is the student ' s return on the quarterly investment. The 1986-87 CAB was composed of six members whose job was to plan entertainment activities for the student body. The program- ming included dances, bands, singers, magicians and comedians. The quality of the talent provid- ed by this year ' s CAB staff will un- doubtedly pave the way for talent of equal or better caliber in future years. Application for offices with the CAB are accepted fall quarter of each academic year. TO KICK OFF the CAB coffehouse series, comedian Alex Cole entertained standing-room-only crowds. CAB gave door prizes and supplied popcorn, coke and other refreshments.

The race is held against other tech- nology schools along the eastern seaboard, like Georgia Tech and MIT. Mechanical engineering tech- nology (MET) majors design the mini-baja during fall and part of winter quarter while industrial engineering technology (IET) and industrial manufacturing (IM) ma- jors fabricate the parts. In early spring, the eight horse-power vehi- cle is assembled and tested. Students and faculty spend long hours outside classes, although some majors receive academic credit for their work. SGA, ASME and SME organiza- tions financially support the endeavor, which normally costs over $3,000. The go-cart like vehicle moves at speeds of up to 38 mph on land. The mini-baja can also float on water and glides at a walking pace in water. It is made of the lightest material possible, mostly aluminum and air- craft aluminum. Without the motor, Andy Burke, president ASME and 1987 mini-baja project, estimated it would weigh only a few pounds. The 1986 project, called number 13, failed on the race track at University of Maryland when the vehicle ' s spindle broke. Before the mini-baja had to leave the race, GSC was in third place. Burke commented the finished product reflects the best talents of the GSC school of technology. He is very optimistic about the 1987 race. Over 100 students are involved with the project, while in the past only around 40 designed and built the vehicle. With more working on the 1987 mini-baja, more specialization was possible in the creation.

The greatest transition that most of these students have to make is getting to know the limits of Bulloch County and the surrounding area. Here, as is true of most areas of the U.S., the language spoken, the food eaten and the manner of dress is for the most part the same. But what about those students not from the U.S. — students from Japan, Vietnam, Germany, Switzerland et al. — that come to GSC each year for a number of reasons? How do these students find out about this college nestled in the heart of Statesboro? Adver- tisements in magazines are one of the primary sources of information about GSC and other institutions of higher learning. The selection pro- cess these students go through is not much different from that of American students. The GPAs of the students are considered as well as the availability of space at the institution. The students often then decide if the climate, location, credibility of the institution and the overall cost per quarter meets their needs. Once here at GSC these students, particularly if this is their first or one of their few times in the U.S., are confronted by a number of cultural and social differences. Many of these students are not pro- ficient in regards to the English language, therefore, there is often a breakdown in communication. Though the majority of Americans are hospitable and friendly this communication breakdown may at times result in the segregation of cultures as opposed to an overall integration. Obvious transitions such as eating habits — American food is thought of as being too oily and salty as compared to the food of other cultures — lifestyle and personality adjustments are made. Many of us have wondered what these students do during the holidays and between quarters when the dorms are closed and no arrangements with the school can Continued . . . see page 145 FRESHMEN ROWELL, PAULA St. Marys ROYAL, CARMEN Statesboro RUSHING, LISA Register RYLES, VALERIE Hampton County SANDERS, TAMMIE Gordon SCANLON, JENNIFER Palm Harbor SCHAFF, STEVE Conyers SCHECHTER, BRUCE Atlanta SEALS, EMILY LaGrange SEIMIYA, NORIKO Japan SHARPE, BERNARD Macon SHIELDS, TINA Macon SHUPE, FRANKIE Stockbridge SIKES, DENEE Atlanta SIKES, TARA Midville SIMMONS, CHRISTIE Fayetteville SIMMONS, LILA Ludowici SKUMMER, CATHI Sewickley, Pennsylvania SLOAN, SELINA Moultrie SMITH, CASEY Sandersville SMITH, CINDY Sandersville SMITH, GIOVANNI Meldrim SMITH, JENNIFER Brooklet SMITH, JENNIFER St. Marys SMITH, KEITHLYN Norcross SMITH, LEANN Griffin SMITH, RUSTY Savannah SMITH, SANDRA Fort Stewart Visage: Rowell-Tate Continued from page 144 John Osborne be arranged. Some are fortunate enough to have friends with whom they can visit or know of families who are willing to act as hosts. Then there is the possibility that family members are close or they may just visit neighboring cities. After being exposed to all that GSC has to offer and receiving the degree worked so hard for, many of these students will return to their homelands and quite possibly use the knowledge gained here to further advance in their country. BASKETBALL AT GSC brings students of various backgrounds together to cheer on our championship Eagles. Some of these are students from Japan such as Sato Mamoru, Imaizumi Shigeru, and Saito Tatsushi.

Legend relays the long journey in which the TKE ' s truck broke down several times before its arrival on campus. The Rock was first painted by the fraternity. Bill Neville, a student at the time of the Rock ' s arrival said, You could tell they (the Tekes) spent a lot of time painting the Rock. It displayed the coat of arms and logo. At first, organizations used sledge hammers to protest the Tekes ' new addition. Neville describes hearing strange noises followed by the squealing of tires. Then, someone came up with the idea to paint over the rock. So was the birth of the Rock Tradition. Many nights the Rock is painted several times. Every once-in-a- while, someone may torch it, and its many layers of flammable paint cause it to burst in a mini inferno. It is imbedded in a concrete triangle, which is usually painted as well. Unfortunately, though, some student organizations and in- by Michael Cheek I dividuals proceeded to abuse the allowed graffiti and the paint moved from the Rock to the sidewalk, then on to the tree. The sidewalk is sandblasted, a costly endeavor. But the tree cannot be. Because of this abuse, organiza- tions are supposed to call security before painting the Rock. The future of GSC includes a new student union building. There is a possibility the Rock will be moved or removed because of the new building. Dr. Jack Nolen commented about the appropriateness of the Reflector 1987 theme at the possible loss of the Rock, which was pure coincidence. The Rock, for over 15 years has been an important part of our cam- pus. Though things may pass, like the TKEs, the Rock remains, con- stant, changing. We only hope to preserve this part of GSC ' s history, of Southern ' s Graffiti. AFTER A RAINY NIGHT the new coat(s) of paint melts over the base and onto the grass. The Rock ' s shape has changed since the beginning of the year because earlier in the week, someone torched it.

But in all actuality, resi- dent assistants (RAs) never do that. As a matter of fact, it ' s an image the RA resents. Cindy Nesbit, a RA in Oliff, ex- claimed, RA ' s are people too! She commented that sometimes her hall residents are amazed to see her out on the town with friends. Being the figure of authority is not the easiest job. Nesbit said, There are times when you have to lay down the law. But the RA is more than the sym- bol of law and order. Each assis- tant attends a special summer ses- sion and seminars during the year to assist them in developing their skills. Joy Cook, RA for Winburn, stated, If my residents do not know anyone else on the hall, they know me. Cook loves her job. She has been an assistant for four quarters and plans to continue. The job entails duty nights and weekends, which require periods an RA has to remain in the dorm, weekly reports, service and social programs, and weekly visual room checks. But more than tangible respon- sibilities, an RA is there to talk. They have been trained in the basics of counseling, but moreover, the college experience has taught them much. And they use this to calm the fears of a scared freshman, or the agitation of the cramming sophomores. And many times, they are the resolving third party in roommate conflicts. An RA is never off duty. Cook commented, Even if we ' re not on duty, we ' re here to help. Nesbit joked about her job: It ' s like you ' ve got a permission slip to be nosey. But the job is a lot less prying, but more helping the resi- dent understand and work through problems when they arise. No one can tell you what you ' re going to say, Nesbit said. But many resident assistants agree, the biggest benefit is work- ing with people. The job is exactly that: people oriented. And the im- age of the patrolling RA is dying. As Nesbit said, RAs are people too!

Housing personnel attempt to place those students together who, by the way they answered survey questions, from all indications would seem to get along. Many times this method of placement works out fine and lasting friendships are established between the roommates, but there are times when the system fails and the roomies just cannot make a go of the situation. When the system does fail, the students either take it upon themselves to find someone to live with that they feel with whom they can relate, or the students may go through hous- ing channels and request a room- mate change. Hopefully these unsatisfied students find a roommate with whom they can relate to since a roommate who happens to turn out to be a good friend is something that everyone should be fortunate enough to experience while in college. What ' s so special about a room- mate who is also a best friend? College is a change from the usual family structure that takes at least one ' s entire freshman year to become comfortable. N o longer is mommy or daddy there to whom we can call upon and receive im- mediate results. This is the time when most of us first learn to de- pend on ourselves. This is a scary time in one ' s life. Nine times out of ten, the person you are living with is experiencing these same feelings of inadequacy. Together the two of you are able to pull each other through these rough times and put these feelings behind you. A roommate-friend ' s role is not over after having survived the first year away from home together. The friendship that began to grow from the bad times is now able to blossom from the good times shared. Secrets about those crushes on campus are whispered and giggled about when the lights are off at 2:00 a.m. and sleep refuses to claim you. Suggestions on how to go about capturing these objects of desire are thrown out and rejected a million times. The next day when one of you happens to see last night ' s topic of conversation a blank look or smile suggesting everything and nothing comes across the face. One ' s progress or lack of pro- gress in classes is shared. Roommate-Friends are always there to share in the joys of the A ' s and B ' s received but more importantly they are there to boost one ' s morale when a D or an F is received on what you thought was deserving of at least a B. Roommate-Friends are also there when loneliness sets in and all seems bleak. That feeling we all get at some point when we wonder if it ' s all worth it, can be alleviated by that roommate-friend who is will- ing to bear with you until the feel- ing subsides and all is well once again. Roommate-Friends have a way of making even the most of times in college memorable. FACULTY ADAMS, PROF. MARY E. Developmental Studies ADLER, DR. CONNIE B. Secondary Education AULICK, DR.

Experiences Roommates 151 Crusader Visits Campus With The Gospel According to Brother Jim by Annette Benton GSC is the site for a number of events. Events which include Homecoming, the lighting of the Christmas tree and the Haunted Forest. But an unofficial yearly spectacle comes in the form of traveling evangelist James Gilles, better known as Brother Jim. GSC is just one of the 210 col- lege campuses in 42 states Gilles visits each year. When he spoke near Landrum in February, a crowd of interested spectators surrounded him. Brother Jim preaches about the evils of college life such as the use of illegal drugs and participa- tion in premarital sex. In his unorthodox manner, Brother Jim delivers his messages. Audiences seem drawn to his enigmatic character, even though most disagree or take of- fense at his statements. According to Gilles, his love for the students is what keeps him coming back to colleges, no matter what kind of greeting he receives. Gilles receives his funding through unsolicited donations from individuals and churches. In spite of obvious adversement to the views expressed by Brother Jim, the audience was nothing less than fascinated by him. LUSTY! LUSTY! LUSTY! Just one of the many quotes Gilles constantly used in his speeches. ohn Osbot FACULTY FIELDS, PROF. BONNIE Home Economics FLOYD, PROF. GORDON E. Physical Education FOWLER, PROF.

Southern Spirit. It ' s a pride in this plot of land and a faith in the people that live on it. Everywhere on e goes, it ' s there — whether it ' s a banner or a t-shirt — the pride that GSC is my school. The assorted paraphernalia that has an Eagle on it can be purchased from the bookstore, the Warehouse or from any local store. GSC ' s Eagle has become big business for Statesboro shops. Dare it be said, EVERY student that is attending GSC owns something with that Eagle on it. But pride in a school goes much deeper than the pocketbook. It ' s from the heart. What makes 16,135 students, alumni and locals alike turn out for a football game. Some may go because the Eagles are win- ning. But that same spirit can be seen in the few people that witness a swim meet. It opens even further than that. It urges that struggling student to try a little harder. It helps that pro- fessor be a little sympathetic. Wh at is it? It ' s the human spirit. The one that makes us all special. But GSC has a way of bringing it out in the best way.

The spring of 1986 was nothing unusual, just the normal warm south Georgia air with occasional showers. April showers certainly brought May flowers. But June ' s fire killed May ' s flowers. The summer held a long, hot, dry spell, from which local farmers did not recover. The long spell of high temperatures without rain made national news. But a bad story always has a good side. Farmers in the North, who had a bumper crop sent their abundance down South to farmers cattle, who were starving. Considering the farmer is a disappearing breed, the whole operation was praised by the nation that those that did not have much, gave it to others that had even less. When relief finally came near fall, it was too late. Many crops locally were devastated. But as the students returned, the weather took a noticeable curve until the first home football game versus UT-Chattanooga. Temperatures soared to an unseasonable 97 degrees that September 27. But it seemed hotter as the heat reflected off the white concrete. The concession stands were jammed with thirsty students. Some had to wait 45 minutes to an hour to get anything. But the Eagles were just as hot on the field, so it must have had some benefit. The weather cooled quickly for the next game in the 60 ' s, but then landed to remain consistent during the fall. when the cold of winter entered campus, it didn ' t bite too hard until later in the quarter. Once or twice, snow threatened, but it never came. But in all reality, it was a short winter, as usual, and spring came early in late February. IT WAS HOT, HOT, HOT! when the Eagles played UTC. Students waited in lines of up to an hour long at the conces- sion stand lines. They ran out of ice about halfway through the second half. To say the least, visors were in demand to block out the strong sun, and a politician com- plied, supplying some for interested students.

GSC has a style all its own when it comes to doing things — that style being fun-loving. In the spring, GSC has a winning baseball team. In the fall, of course, there is the Eagles football team who captured the I-AA champion- ship. The Eagles basketball team won the TAAC and advanced to the NCAA this year. What does all this mean? Just that everything about GSC exemplifies the spirit of excellence and fun that makes GSC ' s atmosphere very friendly among the students. Look around GSC and you will see lots of smiling faces — and after observing for a period of time, you start to see familiar faces. Well, here are a few of those familiar smiles that make Southern click. The people of GSC are a special breed. There are a lot of ways to describe them, but perhaps the best way is to experience them. The on- ly way to understand a person is to spend time with them. And another way to figure someone out is to meet their friends — the person they spend a lot of time with. In the end, though, the in- dividual is what remains, and that is who we want to get to know. All we ' ve captured is the image — the VISAGE. To get to know the peo- ple of GSC, you have to go out and meet them. STAFF MAYS, HENRY G Central Stores McDANIEL, DIANNA M. Mail Center MAHON, ROBERT F Physical Plant MIKELL, DEBORAH K.

This year we are going to the line, shoulder-to-shoulder, with Florida, the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Alabama, Georgia State and dozens of the strongest scholarship-supported programs of the country. GSC ' s cross country program has come a long way since a psychology named Dr. Dan Nagelberg revived the sport at the club level just four seasons ago. Nagelberg and Coach Sean McCor- mack quickly molded the program into a competitive NCAA team endeavor. While cross country is still a low-budget item, it retains the character of old fashioned col- lege athletics — character that does not depend on money. Not one of GSC ' s runners receives a cent in scholarship aid. But they finish well, and often ahead of athletes from schools that offer financial aid. Our amateurs are true to the word: they run as those who love, holding high the blue and the gold. These young people are proud to be Eagles, proud to be a part of the winning tradition of GSC. Now it takes more than pride to be a competitive runner. It takes months of daily training: hard days of hill workouts on the clay and sand ridge behind the baseball field, tough efforts blended with easy days of running down Old Register Road. It takes a routine of self discipline: regular sleeping schedules, routine stretching drills and moderate eating habits. For many it means substituting a year- round conditioning program for a more active social life. On Saturday mornings from late September through early November, the work speaks for itself. I saw it recently on the banks of the Chattahoochee River where a freshman, new to running, celebrated her eighteenth birthday by leading the women ' s team to a third place finish in a big tri-state meet. That was the same Saturday when the men met our goal of run- ning as a team, with six runners crossing the finish line within 48 seconds of each other, all com- pleting the five miles well under 29 minutes. Leading the six were the two seniors, arms pumping and legs pushing them to a state of near collapse at the finish, just one se- cond apart. That old-fashioned gut-leveled effort that distinguishes any program at any level. Some people ask why I, of all people, coach our cross country teams. Sometimes I answer that, after the talented Nagelberg and McCormack moved on to better things, our athletic department could find no one else to volunteer. I also have said that it gives me a chance to combine my hobby (run- ning) with my calling (teaching). For what it ' s worth, both statements happen to be correct. I find it refreshing to leave the museum after a day ' s work to run, talk, laugh, sweat and suffer with these young people. As they await the starting gun at meets, huddling with their teammates in Eagle col- ors, I share their butterflies. And I glory in individual improvements recorded at each event. These are some of the rewards I am reaping until a real cross country coach comes along. During my brief tenure as a rookie coach of GSC ' s teams, I have observed what I like to call the spirit of cross country. It reveals itself when, after weeks of training, we put together our best efforts on race day. Then we find that another team ' s best is faster than ours. This is when we are ready to learn more about cross country, the sport that can lead one to ponder the larger issues of com- petition and of life itself. The runner has an opportunity to learn the meaning of the word competitions from the inside. The word, of course, stems from the Latin com with; petition to strive or to prove. Another way to put it is that the runner proves something in the company of others. He or she gives testimony to that God-Given talent which the athlete, to date, has developed.

Bulldogs, Tigers, Panthers, Yellow Jackets, Blazers, Bears, Eagles — they all share briefly the fruit of the tree of experience. They have striven together. Little by little, meet after meet, they learn more about how it feels to perform at peak capacity. So it is a struggle from within, and sweat-soaked runners recognize this sobering truth in the flushed faces they greet after the clock has stopped. That cliche about winning is everything fails to capture the spirit of cross country. In fact, win- ning is not everything. What mat- ters most to me is nurturing the DE.

Our men ' s and women ' s teams are composed ex- clusively of walk-ons. The newspaper seldom notes their achievements or even prints their names. So they compete as they train, listening for the still small voice of encouragement from within, the voice that remains after the wrenching agony has passed. What keeps our runners going day to day, I believe, is their desire to be better than they have been. Translated into conviction, this desire can lead them toward con- sistent training and disciplined liv- ing. They are learning a lesson about life that eludes many spec- tators and even some athletes. This is what carries our runners to the starting line again and again, wear- ing the blue and gold, striving to soar upward together on the wings of Eagles. This is everything. This is the spirit of cross country at GSC. Lisa Corn well M E M O R I A M Kenneth Marcell Brown June 27, 1986 James W.

For over 18 years, ATO has held a standard superiority that has consequent- ly created one of the best brotherhoods on campus. This is revealed through the many social and community functions that ATO participates in. They host the High Hope Softball Marathon, help with Heart Sunday, Special Olym- pics, and many other charitable services. The ATO ' s commitment to ex- cellence is also seen on the play- ing field with some of the strongest intramural teams at GSC. Their tradition lives on through their social and com- munity activities, their participa- tion in sports, and their strives for scholastic superiority. Most important, their tradition lives on through the everlasting bond held by every brother who wears the ATO letters.

They have proven their desire to build character. John Uspome Fraternities 181 The Gamma Tau Chapter of Sigma Pi reorganized taking on a new slate of brothers and officers in the fall.

After a long hard game, they get together and congratulate each other. KAPPA DELTA RUSH was a beach of a time. Rush is an important time for sisters and Unity. Like a giant family, the GREEKS have developed a special UNITY among themselves. Each brother and sister with their big or little brothers and sisters form a tiny- family within their big family, the fraternity or sorority. And, together, all of the fraternities and sororities form that giant family. This GREEK family at GSC is a very important and special one. They participate in and host many activities on campus for all students as well as just the GREEK students. GREEK life is an important and vital part to campus life. They are part of the heartbeat of GSC, the pulse that drives this campus to a future success. In the lives of the GREEKS, we are watching the beginning developments of the GSC Greek Village, which will be comprised of lodges on three-quarter acre lots. According to assistant dean of students, James Orr, eight to ten lodges will be built every two years. Individually, GREEKS have achieved much through philan- thropies and community projects. There is no doubt that the GREEKS are a vital part to Statesboro. The leadership and guidance gained through involvement in GREEK life is another development of the individual. All combine to make GREEK life dynamic, important and enriching to each person that participates in a GREEK organization. No wonder the theme of Greeks is We ' re GREEK and loving it! Greeks Closing 187 The Spice of Life: Organizations The many varied campus organizations of- fer a release to the student body as a whole. Perhaps you want to be involved with a group that pertains to your major. Maybe you ' d like to take part in a service-oriented organization. There are other choices as well. You could very well take part in an honorary society that recognizes your academic endeavor. Or you may want to associate yourself with those who share your ideas, values or religion. Don ' t think that individuality is com- promised at the expense of being a member of an organization. Groups, logically enough, are made up of individuals whose creativity and fresh ideas only add to the spirit of the organization. This spirit carries over into not only the rest of the campus but also the community of Statesboro. By belonging to a group, you strengthen yourself and your own little cor- ner of the world in the process. LEADING THE PARADE, the GSC ROTC Color Guard shows our flag at the Homecoming festivity.

This probably represent? the campus in the early to mid-1930 ' s, before Lewis and Sanford Halls were built. - First District Agricultural School — The First District Agricultural School (FDAS) opened in 1908 with 15 students and four faculty members. J. Walter Hendricks was principal. The first students were considered belligerent and incorrigible. Boys were taught agriculture while the girls received lessons in cooking, sewing and enter- taining. Manners were especially enforced in the classroom. As punishments students received demerits. After 28, offenders were put on the black list, resulting in a whipping or perhaps expulsion. There ' s a tale about the problems with the students the first year. One night, Hendricks was roused by a boy beating on his East Hall (present day A nderson Hall) apartment door. The boy explained that a horri- ble fight was occurring in West Hall (present day Deal Hall), the boys ' dorm. Hendricks rushed to the scene with a three foot piece of wood. He ended the fight and collected Continued on next page . . . 210 History First District Agricultural School Continued from previous page . . . numerous large knives and a hatfull of pistols which were thrown into a creek. The following year, enrollment increased to 51 and E.C.J. Dickens took over as principal. The teaching of moral standards continued to be stressed because rumors began to circulate about girls reported as hav- ing bad reputations. 1910 saw the first graduates, three to be exact, as FDAS adopted the colors purple and gold. But in 1911, purple turned to green. By 1911, FDAS had 90 students and eight faculty members. Four buildings comprised the campus: East Hall (girls ' dorm), West Hall (boys ' dorm), academics building (presently Administration) and the Dining Hall and additional girls ' housing (demolished). The Dining Hall, built completely by a group of students and a professor, later became known as Anderson Hall ( Old Anderson Hall as it is now commonly referred to). It was said to be the loveliest building to grace our campus. It was located between present day Anderson Hall and Williams Center before being demolished in 1959 on the completion of Williams. Rules were strict in 1911. Girls were not allowed on Student Costs — 1923 Entrance fee $ 2.00 Library fee $ 1.50 Lab fee $ 3.00 Medical fee $ 1.00 Damage fee (refundable) $ 3.00 Furniture rental $ 5.00 Boarding ($15 month) $135.00 TOTAL $150.50 the playground at the same time as guys (FDAS educated basically from age 12 up). The catalog boasted that the girls ' and boys ' dorms were 125 yards apart with a center line that could not be crossed and any communication between sexes was prohibited. Enrollment continued to increase and reached a high in 1913 of 213. But following years proved disastrous for the farmlands, as crops failed and tor- rential rains poured on the lands. In 1915, the enroll- ment had decreased to 117 as the majority of students shifted from the male side, toward the female. F. M. Rowan took over the helm in 1915. In 1916, FDAS saw the beginning of a football and baseball program. The mascot was known as the Aggies. The teams won half of their games that first season. With World War I opening, FDAS opened a military department in 1917. 47 FDAS graduates went off to The Great War. None were killed or injured. Ernest V. Hollis, at the age of 25, became principal and in 1922, began campaigning for a teachers ' school. By 1923, an athletics program was in full swing. And the highlight of the academic year was the An- nual April Fools ' Day Wiener Roast. First Bus — 1917 From a horse-drawn bus, the school received its first motorized vehicle in 1917. It ' s parked in front of Administration. Notice the screen door on the entrance of Administration. History 211 Georgia Normal School On November 11, 1924, students, professors, staff and community citizens celebrated the change from FDAS to Georgia Normal School (GNS). Principal Hollis became President Hollis. The first newspaper was formed in 1924 called Sta- tion GNS. It was actually a mimeographed quarterly newsletter. Rules were still strict in 1925. Card playing and other like games were prohibited. Study hours were mandatory and monitored, and daily chapel at- tendance was required. Only two excused absences were permitted. As well, students could take elective courses in Bible study. T. Ray Shurbutt, author of Georgia Southern: Seventy-five Years of Progress and Service, emphasizes One should not think, however, that our students ' social lives resembled that of some cloistered medieval monk or nun. Callers were allowed to visit females under the following conditions: (1) written permission from the girl ' s parent(s), (2) approval from the dean or presi- dent, (3) visit for no longer than one and one-half hours, (4) visit no more than twice a month, (5) call on Sunday afternoon or evening and (6) callers must be received in the parlor of the dorm. Of course, the caller had to be a student presently attending GNS. During the summer term of 1925, 350 teachers at- tended GNS. In addition, four yearly scholarships were established. Girls were required to wear a uniform (blue and white, similar to a sailor suit) and were as well re- quired to bring six white aprons for domestic duties. Male students had no dressing codes. In 1932, the uniform requirement was eliminated by a girl that was considered the first campus feminist. Bess Winburn led the campaign (Winburn Hall, by the way, was named for her father, a comptroller for GNS). Guy H. Wells became president in 1926. The same year, McCroan Auditorium was completed and the Reflector, volume one, was published. The George-Anne started in 1927. George-Anne was chosen because students wanted a title that would illustrate the Georgian campus and the true co- educational school. 450 students were attending GNS as the first laboratory school began so student teachers could receive experience. Sunnyside School opened to grades 1 -4. A ladies basketball program began with the 1927-28 season. The following season, the men ' s team won the South Georgia Championship. President Wells, who continued to vie for senior col- lege status, got his wish the following year. 212 History Georgia Normal School Junior Privileges 1. .iris may k° to town in groups of two. 2.

Dinner Time Quite a change from Landrum, Old Anderson Hall served students from the garden out back. The First Reflector The first yearbooks are quite different from today ' s, which include computer graphics and color. History 213 r South Georgia Teachers College n July 25, 1929 saw the beginning as GNS became South Georgia Teachers College. The year opened with 19 faculty members and six staff members. With the new name came a new image: from the Aggies to the Blue Tide Teachers. And what was known as the Little Store (or at other times, the Blue Tide), opened on campus, selling snacks and school supplies along with other necessities. The Alumni Gym, which is still standing behind Blue Building next to Henderson Library, was com- pleted in 1931 so the basketball team no longer played home games in the Statesboro Tobacco Warehouse. School opened the same year with 448 students. In 1931, as intermurals were organized and the track team started, the music department got ready to begin the Blue Tide Marching Band, which started full-swing in 1932. The same year, the Alumni Association began. And in case you ' ve ever wondered what the names of the ponds in front of Henderson Library are, they were created in 1933. The smaller was named Lake Wells, for the current president. The larger was dubbed Lake Ruby, for President Wells ' wife. There are still remnants of the small stone amphitheater on the east side of Lake Wells. George Washington Carver addressed the student body in 1933. The following year, Marvin S. Pittman took over as president. And in the mid-30 ' s, Henry Ford visited the campus. During the decade, the first Greek societies were organized, being Delta Sigma and Iota Pi Nu. They were, of course, only for men. The football team always did relatively well. On Oc- tober 1, 1937, the team played the University of Miami in the newly completed Orange Bowl Stadium. SGTC lost, 0-44. As well in the late 1930 ' s, Fielding Russell coached the newly formed boxing and tennis teams. Social life was still strictly monitored. Before man- datory study hours, boy-girl dating was permitted in women ' s dorm parlors. As well, on Friday and Satur- day nights from 7:30 until 9:30, socializing was allowed in McCroan Auditorium. It was supervised by ever-watchful eye of the Dean of Women, Mamie Veazey. Eye contact was the only contact allowed at these sessions. The Little Store provided a quick moment together. It opened every weekday night from 9:15-9:45. After the library closed at 9:30, guys would escort their girls from the library to the store for a quick snack and have them back at their dorm before the 10 p.m. curfew. Shurbutt comments in his book, The more brazen of these campus couples even dared to hold hands on these moonlit strolls . . . showing true love at the risk of catching-hell if Dean Veazey saw them. The Rosenwald Library opened in 1938 as the sound of war boomed in Europe and as SGTC moved another step closer to a university.

Georgia Teachers College President Pittman asked the Board of Regents for a change. Because SGTC was serving the entire state, Pittman requested the South be dropped. The BOR complied and in 1939 it became Georgia Teachers Col- lege (GTC). War was on the way and enrollment reflected it. In 1938, it was at an all time high of 581. By 1943, in the midst of WWII, only 158 studied at GTC. But before the US entered the war, battle lines were drawn up on the GTC campus. It became known as the Pittman-Talmadge controversy. Eugene Talmadge was elected governor in 1940. However, the district in which GTC was a part over- whelmingly voted for his Democratic primary oppo- nent. President Pittman had made some enemies on campus, especially a social science professor named R. Continued on next page . . . Old Anderson Hall — The Loveliest Building History 215 Georgia Teachers College Continued from previous page J. H. DeLoach. It was well known that Pittman considered DeLoach incompetent, so when promotion time came around, DeLoach was by-passed. For that reason and perhaps others, DeLoach helped Talmadge get the goods on Pittman. Pittman was charged with the following: (1) par- tisan politics — he was personally responsible for removal of pro-Talmadge banners, (2) supposed col- lege farm workers frequently tended his own farm ' s crops (Pittman produced a document showing all of his farm ' s profits were given to GTC — a three year total of $722.38) and (3) he was charged with ad- vocating racial equality and teaching communism (the communism charge stemmed from a book in the library, which Pittman had never read, and the fact his degree was from Columbia University ' s Teachers Col- lege, considered a hotbed of communism — as well, the Rosenwald (Scholarship) Fund was called Jew money for niggers and assisted in financing the plot to spread communism). The campus showed almost unanimous support for Pittman, writing letters and holding rallies. About 50 Bulloch County citizens marched to the capital to speak on behalf of Pittman. But all fell on unhearing ears as the BOR (then 13 of the 15 had been appointed by Talmadge himself) used what Shurbutt calls kangaroo-court hearings and voted 10-5 to fire Pitt- man and was followed by dismissals of other faculty and staff members. Newspapers across the nation roared at the firing and the University System of Georgia became discredited. In 1941, Albert M. Gates became president. With WWII, all intercollegiate sports were suspend- ed. Under Gates ' presidency, the enrollment fell steep- ly and steadily, partly because of the draft, and partly because of the bad press GTC had received. Two years later in 1943, Pittman was requested to return by a newly organized BOR (Governor Ellis Ar- nall took all selection aspects of the BOR out of the governor ' s hands). The BOR also reinstated all faculty and staff which lost their jobs in the fallout. After the war was over, athletic competition returned to GTC with one exception: football. It was determined to be too expensive. Pittman resigned as president in late 1947. Judson C. Ward, Jr. took over for one year. Then Dean of the College, Zach Henderson, after 21 years of service to GTC, moved up to the presidency and Paul F. Carroll fell into Henderson ' s vacated position. On June 3, 1950, the Alumni Gates, which grace the main entrance to campus, were dedicated. A new era began in 1952 as the Dating Code was revised. The Friday and Saturday night curfew was extended until 11. The new Dating Hours were 4-6 p.m. Sunday, 7-10:30 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, and 7-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Women ' s dorm parlors opened to men on week nights from the end of supper until the beginning of study hours. All evening dates had to be written on a Date Slip by 8 p.m. Rules also stated men callers are not to be entertained in cars at any time and they could not linger on the dorm steps while saying Continued on next page . . .

As well, a proper dressing code for women was released saying shorts were improper and girls were allowed to sunbathe only at Sandspur Beach, which was located behind what is now Lewis Hall (of course, men were not allowed). But, just as students now find ways to bend rules, the students in the 50 ' s used to go to Paradise in the Pines, a secluded dirt road, near where Physical Plant presently stands. Costs to attend GTC in 1952 averaged $500 per year. Enrollment in 1954 reached 586. With the con- tinued growth came new buildings: Cone Hall (1954), President ' s Home (1955 — now Alumni House), Han- ner Gym (1955), Administration Annex (1955), Williams Center (1958), Herty (1959), Veazy (1959) and Carruth(1960). With a physical growth, GTC grew academically adding programs for other than teachers. Finally, on November 15, 1957, the BOR approved GTC for a graduate program — something Henderson had sought after since 1949. The men ' s basketball scene dramatically improved in post-war years, as the GTC Professors arrived in the national finals in 1966 under Coach J. B. Scearce. GTC was defeated. The time from 1947 until 1967 was called The Golden Era as the team ' s overall record soared during the years to 379 and 159. Being a freshman in the 50 ' s and 60 ' s was not the easiest task. The tradition called Rat Week fright- ened freshmen as upperclassmen smiled slyly at the thoughts of those hazing days to come. And freshmen were known by the rat cap they were forced to wear. Some rules for girl rats includ- ed wearing all outer apparel inside-out, while one foot wore a sock and bedroom slipper while the other wore hose and a tennis shoe. As well, the hairstyle of the week was the right side greased down and the left side had 13 pig tails. Each fingernail had to be a different color and make-up could only be applied to the right side of one ' s face. Men, as well, faced equal punishment in clothing. In addition, they were required to walk backwards into buildings, classrooms and up and down stairs. And if an upperclassman came near and shouted air raid, a freshman must fall face downward and remain until an all clear was sounded. They also carried shoeshine kits to provide upperclassmen with clean shoes. It doesn ' t end there. All rats carried a raw egg in one hand and were required to get it initialed by at least 20 sophomores. All books were carried in laundry bags. And while walking across campus, freshmen had to give hand signals when turning. But when it finally ended, usually with a Rat Parade through downtown Statesboro, those that disobeyed the Rat regulations were honored by a decision handed down from the Rat Court Judges.

History 217 Georgia Southern College On December 9, 1959, GTC became Georgia Southern College. And following this, The George- Anne ran a contest for the new mascot. A sophomore named Ralph Sword entered the winning ballot: the Eagle. Enrollment reached the 1200 mark in 1960 as GSC began a growth spurt: Home Management House (1960), Hendricks Hall (1963), Brannen Hall (1963), Hollis (1965), Olliff Hall (1966), Winburn Hall (1967), Blue Building (1967 — intended to be temporary), Dorman Hall (1967), Foy Fine Arts (1967), Landrum Center (1968) and Hanner Fieldhouse (1969). Private investors contacted other housing com- plexes including Warwick Hall (1965), York Hall (1965 — known as GSC Guest Cottage), Hampton Hall (1965), Oxford Hall (1966) and Stratford Hall (1966). On August 1, 1960, there came a change. Mail ad- dressed to students which attended GSC in its earlier forms said Collegeboro, meaning the on-campus mail center. This changed to Statesboro as the new mail center opened in Williams. And as GSC grew, the growth in all aspects of life is immeasurable. President Henderson retired after 41 years on July 1, 1968. Dean Carroll followed suit the same day. John O. Eidson filled the presidency and there came a shuf- fle as new positions of vice president, dean of arts and sciences, dean of graduate and dean of education were created (in 1971, dean of business; in 1979, vice presi- dent for business and finance; in 1980, dean of HPERN and dean of technology). And, by the way, dean of students grew out of the combination of dean of women and men in 1957. In 1971, Pope A. Duncan became president. More buildings were completed including Biology (1970), Carroll (1971), Newton (1972) and Henderson Library (1975). In 1974, the on-campus in dorm curfew was abolished. Nicholas W. Quick acted as president in 1977 until Dale W. Lick took over in 1978. And with this, the resurrection of football occurred. Erk Russell as coach, the Eagles played their first game on September 11, 1982 in the Gator Bowl. We won, 16-9, defeating Central Florida. The amount of work Lick began and completed is immeasurable. In recent years, it ' s hard to recognize exactly what will be important in the future. To say the least, Lick has put GSC on a new path . . . (Harrison Carter became acting president, July 1, 1986.) Homecoming Dance Rules were a little more relaxed in these days. Notice how close these students are dancing. But also notice each girl is wearing a dress and many males are wearing a suit. Tina Turner? Here? Yes, Ike and Tina played GSC in 1974. On a Friday night, during Homecoming, students jammed the fieldhouse for this show. 218 History r University of Southern Georgia? To say the least, with the very rich past behind GSC, it ' s quite probable. It took GTC almost 10 years to become GSC. Someday we may be USG. Until then, we have our own HISTORY to make. The Reflector is celebrating its sixtieth anniversary. We salute GSC and its past. And from the pages of older Reflectors, we remember just a few of the things that transpired over 79 years of growth, which has come to be known as HISTORY. Bob Hope Tours GSC? In a practice session with our band, Bob Hope prepares for his performance. He was part of the 1974 Homecoming entertainment, along with Ike and Tina. It was Hope ' s second (and last) visit to GSC. Streakin ' ! Rat Registration Freshmen in line for the old kind of registration. It was usually term- ed cut-throat registration. Oh, yes, they call ' im the streak — boogedy, boogedy! In the early 70 ' s, streaking became extremely popular.

But where can a student begin his search for such jewels as the diamonds of success, the emeralds of knowledge and the pearls of understanding? Give up? These treasures are located in the rich gold mines of Zach S. Henderson Library. Among these hidden treasures are segments within our library which contain items of value because of their age, specialty and uniqueness. Did you know that the audio visuals department of the library provides a combination of three record collections which have been emerging for approximately three years? These collections include folk songs, filmstrips and poetry; a browsing collection of jazz, classical and pop records; and 2,000 records donated by the music department, kept since 1972. The most recent addition is the compact disc. In search for more gold? Then continue the search to another sec- tion of the library: the government documents.

The tradition of the Film Classic Series was started in 1983. The purpose of the series stated director John Humma, is to show films that students would not get to see regularly. He said that the films expand students ' horizons and give them exposure to films not distributed in this area. The characteristics looked for in the carefully selected films are social relevance and artistic value. Special emphasis is placed on foreign films and literary adaptations. Many English instructors use the classic films series as an extension of the classroom. The films also at- tract other faculty members and students. Brown bag lunch discussions are often held the day after the films. Although the main purpose is academic, sometimes going just for the fun of it can be very entertaining. By Lisa Stringfellow MR.

Who has the greater chances for success in life after obtaining a col- lege degree, the college athlete or the scholar? This question has been asked in some form or another by individuals on either side of the issue. In fact cases have been brought before the courts where college athletes that failed in the pros for various reasons at- tempted to sue the colleges or universities they attended because these institutions didn ' t prepare them academically for life outside of athletics. Athletes at GSC should have very few problems coping in life if they are unable to pursue profes- sional athletic careers.

To ensure that our athletes will be able to maintain a decent GPA and play, coaches require that athletes, particularly those on scholarship, spend time each night in the library, particularly, during athletic seasons, reviewing material presented in classes. This required library time is an effective device for motivation to study since, according to basketball point guard Michael Stokes, prac- tice demands quite a bit of time and if one doesn ' t stay on top of classroom lectures and assignments it is very easy to get bogged down By Staci DuLaney under it all and lose sight ol main purpose for attending stitutes of higher learning, academics.

Their ability to think critically and independently is a factor in the uniqueness of BHP students, commented Dr. Joiner. He also added that BHP looks for those students with the promise of leadership. A recent report by the Carnegie Commission criticized the present state of undergraduate higher education in the U.S. However, Dr. Joiner feels that the structure of BHP is in tune with the recom- mendations of the Carnegie Com- mission by allowing a closer rela- tionship between the students and professors than at a prestige institution.

The Enrichment Program is an elective class that has been offered at GSC for the past four years. The program, designed by Dr. Fred Richter, was established to take ad- vantage of and give class credit for the abundance of extra-curricular activities on campus, including speakers, concerts, drama produc- tions, gallery and museum exhibits. Dr. Richter hopes to enrich the lives of his students by first ac- quainting them with new and un- familiar experiences, lecturing to shape their attitudes to be open minded. When asked if he feels that the class should be added to the curriculum, Richter stated For an easy ' A ' the class is highly recommended. That is not to say that the class is not easy, but as with anything, what students like, they tend to do well. In the Enrichment Program, students feel as if they ' ve done something for themselves and not necessarily for their instructor. This in itself makes the program enjoyable. Students must attend one cultural event a week as part of outside class work. Additionally they are asked to join Georgia Public Radio or Georgia Public By Tangie Wimberly Television. The course is te taught with a professor frif another discipline in order to si to the class diversity.

It wasn ' t that she hadn ' t studied; Jessica had studied for several hours a day for this test, only to make a 55. In red at the top of the test was the message, See me today! Great! Now her chemistry professor, was going to rub it in — the last thing she needed. It was more than Jessica could bear; she left the room and walked down the hall with her head hung low. Things had always come easily for Jessica. Even though she rarely studied, she had never had any trouble with her schoolwork. But for the first time in her life, she was failing. The word made her shudder. Jessica did go back to see her professor. Instead of getting chewed out or told she was a failure, as she had expected, she was given a pep talk. Her professor had taken the time to find out her background and circumstances and he told her that there was absolute- ly no reason why she could not do what needed to be done. Any help she needed would be given to her. For the next two weeks, Jessica studied harder than she had ever studied in her life. The help she re- quired was readily given to her. The day of the test arrived. For the first time she could remember, Jessica had no confidence and was afraid to take a test. She knew she had to at least go and take the test, no matter how badly she knew she would do. As she walked in the classroom, her professor handed her a test, smiled and said, Good luck. The test was not as hard as she had expected and she was more prepared than she thought. After taking it she felt that she had passed, but there was a lot of room for error and her good feeling By Amy Pace was the same as the feeling she 1 had on her previous test.

By Michael Cheek It ' s Sunday afternoon, about 5 p.m. Do you know where your homework is? PANIC? You wake out of your half sleep and your heart races and head spins. You gain control back in time to remember exactly what you ' re missing. The weekend has passed, you have partied, slept or perhaps even gone home. And suddenly you remember, ' I ' ve got (choose one) an exam a 1000-word paper a lab report project due tomorrow. ' And, of course, you haven ' t even started on it. This is a common occurrence. It is known as the Sunday five o ' clock syndrome. College students everywhere experience it. But that doesn ' t help the fact you ' ve got something important due in class tomorrow. As you return to the peaceful campus, you see your roommate at his her desk and the panic hits you. Forget about hanging up the clothes mom washed while you were at home! The experienced staff of GSC understands this syndrome. The library opens especially for us that do it. About 5 p.m. on Sundays, the doors to the library never close as about half of the campus trucks it over to the building. Some prefer to study in their room, so the door locks and the hot desk lamp begins burning the books. The solution to the Sunday five o ' clock syndrome is, of course, do- ing your homework early. Your intentions were good last Friday when you opened your books, but five minutes later when your friend called inviting you to (choose one) a party a movie you ' ve been dying to see go out with him or her the line. When you got back, you did not even consider studying since it was way past your bedtime. Never mind getting up early the next morning. But when you finally got up, you remembered you had (choose one) to do the laundry to clean the room take a long shower do sor shopping.

What should they be doing when they are eating, sleep- ing, and socializing? STUDYING! It ' s that awful eight letter word that college freshmen dread and college seniors can ' t forget. It con- jures up fears of impending finals and overdue projects. There just never seem to be enough hours in the day. And when you are ready to study, finding the ideal place can be an adventure in itself. The dorms are just too noisy, there ' s no way around that. No matter how many study rooms exist or how many quiet hours are enforced, it seems that distractions always oc- cur. Apartments aren ' t much bet- ter. For example, in an apartment you have your own refrigerator calling you away from your books. On the other hand, the library of- fers a quiet alternative if used pro- perly. Most prefer to grab a seat facing the door, on the second floor, also known as the social floor, where it ' s like studying at a party. The third and fourth floors offer peace and quiet. Just the right atmosphere . . ., to fall asleep in? No! You have to study, study, study for your test.

It has been serving the GSC com- munity for the past sixteen years. Designed to do business just as local, commercial printers, they take raw materials, improve upon them and sell them. Anything can be printed at the Print Shop — from resumes to raf- fle tickets. In addition, they work closely with the staff of the school newspaper, The George-Anne, in composing and designing the paper. The newest department created within the Print Shop is the Copy Center which is located in first floor Williams Center. It has been in operation for the past three years. This department is the main source of income for the Print Shop. Their prices are set according to those of local printers in order to be competitive. Students working at the Print Shop get on the job training. At present, there are four students employed by the Print Shop. Located within the same building is a class for printing management, majors. These students can get credits for working and completing this course. Many former student employees have gone on to successful printing careers and attribute much of their success to experience gained while employed by the Print Shop.

An unbelievable and unprecedented feat; the Georgia Southern Eagles take the IAA Division Championship for the second consecutive year. They Did It Again! By Patrick Donahue Georgia Bulldog fans can talk about their mythical national championship and Tech people can talk about winning all four of the big bowls (Rose, Cotton, Sugar, and Orange), but neither can talk about having won back to back legitimate national championships. As a matter of fact only one team can: the Georgia Southern Eagles. For those people across the country who thought a team that had a pro- gram for only five years, after an absence of 40 years, could win two national titles in a row was a fluke, then they as may as well go bury their heads in the sand. Led by an offense that put more points on the scoreboard than a high school basketball team and a bend but don ' t break defense, the Eagles cruised to their second championship in as many years. Years from now, football fans across Georgia will utter the names of Russell, Harris, and Ham in the same breath as Dodd, Butts, Sinkwich, Walker, and Lavette. BREAKING AWAY from the grasp of a Nicholls State defender, Ricky Harris (29) reaches the paydirt in the 55-31 playoff win against the Colonels. The 1986 campaign was one that would have made any team beg for mercy with a total of seven games on the road including the season opener against the powerful Florida Gators in Gainesville. The Gators proved to be too much for the Eagles, winning by a 38 to 14 margin. Tracy Ham led the Eagles with 107 yards rushing and 93 yards passing. The Eagles then reeled off five straight victories, the first of which was a 35-12 thrashing of Florida A M. The defense held the Rat- tlers to just 54 yards rushing. Next on the schedule were the Blue Raiders of Middle Tennessee State. Tim Foley broke the I-AA record for consecutive field goals in the third quarter and his fourth quarter field goal provided the margin of difference in a 34-31 vic- tory. Gerald Harris rushed for 170 yards and Tracy Ham added 41 yards on the ground. A then record crowd of 15,234 turned out for the first home game of the season.

Ham set the school record for yards rushing in a game with 199, leading an attack that outgained ECU, 433-359. Yet another road game resulted in the sixth victory of the season, this time at the expense of the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers by a score of 49-32. Ham ran for 118 yards and went 15 of 26 with 219 yards passing. The Eagles as a team rushed for 301 yards and threw for 261 more. Slotback Frankie Johnson had a big day as well with four receptions for 112 yards and one touchdown. A number of milestones were reached in that game. Tracy Ham broke the single season school record for rushing yards, set the year before by Ricky Harris. Gerald Harris went over the 2,000-yard mark in career rushing, but kicker Tim Foley ' s string of 90 con- secutive successful extra points, en- ding I-AA ' s longest active streak.

Monty Sharpe caught five passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns and slotback Herman Barron had 103 yards on four receptions. Ricky Harris con- tributed 96 yards on just 6 rushing attempts. The defense, after a shaky first half, held James Madison in the se- cond half to 11 points and a fumble recovery by freshman James Wildman Carter, just back from an appendectomy, in the third quarter helped turn the tide in the Eagles favor.

It was now back to the Tacoma Dome for the Diamond Bowl championship game against the 2 Arkansas State Indians. The In- dians brought their own Gorgeous Indian River water to try and com- bat the effects of Beautiful Eagle Creek. The Indians received the grand majority of the attention of the media in the days leading up to the game. Even the Atlanta Journal- Constitution made Arkansas State the favorite. The Indians were reputed to have an explosive wishbone attack combined with a rock solid defense. The Indians confidently predicted taking the crown home with them. However the Eagles remained silent as game day approached, leaving the challenging Indians to bask in the media limelight. The Indians boasted their own great quarterback, Dwane Brown. But the Eagle defense turned in one of its most impressive games of the season. A fumble on the first drive of the game for Arkansas State opened the way for the Hambone offense. Tracy Ham sparkled in his final game for GSC with 180 yards rushing and 306 more in the air.

Pitted against tenth ranked Syracuse in the first round of the NCAA playoffs, the Eagles clung to a slim one-point lead at the half. The lead had been as much as seven in the early going. Foul trouble, however, plagued both Jeff Sanders and J. J. Jones. After Sanders fouled out early in the second half, the Eagles were hard pressed in stopping the Orangemen ' s Rony Seikly and Derrick Coleman. A bucket by Anthony Forrest cut the Syracuse lead to three with six minutes to play in the game. But Brian Newton missed a dunk which would have made it a one- point game. The lead was stretched back out to ten with 20 seconds left but two three pointers made the score 73- 79 in the end. Syracuse ' s home crowd, confi- dent of a quick defeat over an almost oblivious school, were quickly shocked into a pressure situation with an Eagle dominali first half. Southern ' s relenuV come backs in the second h maintained the intensity level. Newton led with 18 points. F rest and Michael Stokes follow with 16 points each.

The Eagles defeated the Hatters 49-46 to take the TAAC championship and an automatic berth in the NCAA playoffs. Sanders was named most valuable player for the tournament. The normal 1986-87 season was filled with high hopes as the Eagles attempted to bounce back from a lackluster 15-13 record the year before. Those expectations were well-founded as the schedule was kicked off with 98-61 thrashing of Fort Valley State at home in the friendly confines of Hanner Fieldhouse. The Eagles spent most of the month of December on the road, including the Coca-Cola Classic in Chattanooga, where they went 1-1. They also participated in the Toledo Blade Classic, where they lost to Top 10 Temple and a double overtime heartbreaker to Air Force. December also saw the beginn- ing of Trans America Athletic Con- ference play with a road win over Hardin-Simmons. Sophomore center Sanders ' 18 points and nine rebounds highlighted another con- ference road victory, this time over That started a five game winning streak that included one point margins over Mercer and Stetson. Sanders had 19 points and guard Willis Holliday had 12 in a 62-58 breather over Houston Baptist. Stokes ' last gasp three-pointer made the difference in a 70-68 overtime defeat of Centenary in which Stokes scored a career high 18 points. The streak came to an end against conference-leading Arkansas-Little Rock. The Eagles bounced back to beat Samford behind Holliday ' s 22 points and 16 from senior J. J. Jones. Newton ' s 24 did in Texas- San Antonio but another 20 point effort from Holliday went for naught against Hardin-Simmons. A three game losing streak in the middle of February dropped the Eagles from second place in the TAAC. Twenty points from Jones paced a 78-57 beating of Centenary that clinched at least fourth place in regular season conference play. The Eagles ' biggest win of tl | year was a 69-66 three overtin upset of Arkansas-Little Roc ; Stokes hit two clutch free throws i OT to preserve the win and tv « three-pointers in regulation to sen the game to overtime.

Who are these people who choose to take on such a huge responsibility? They are the GSC Eagle cheerleaders. We ' ve all seen them on the sidelines of the football and basket- ball games, putting their all into getting the crowd behind the Eagles. But is all their hard work worth it? Senior cheerleader Scott Laminack says there are several benefits. You get to meet and be with good people and you also get involved with school spirit. Like anything else, there are goals to be achieved, such as executing a par- ticular stunt well. Achieving those goals is rewarding.

The GSC baseball squad won the Trans America Athletic Conference championship for an un- precedented second straight time en route to posting an impressive 36-23-1 record. The year also saw manager Jack Stallings become on- ly the seventh skipper in the col- legiate ranks to win 800 games in his career. After a slow start that included three one run losses to Southern Conference champ Western Carolina, the Eagles bounced back by taking a two game series from NCAA Regional participant Georgia Tech. A loss to Stetson preceded a five game winning streak during which the Eagles scored a total of 56 runs, 17 of those in a defeat of William and Mary. Georgia State took two of three to open the conference schedule but the Eagles then won five of their next six, sweeping a three game set from Mercer in the pro- cess. A two game split with South Carolina followed the Mer cer series. The Eagles reeled off eight vic- tories over the next ten games. During their stretch Scott Luman hurled a 10-0 shutout at Samford and Billy Brooks repeated the feat with a 3-0 win over Mercer to clinch the Eastern Division title. A road trip to Athens provided the Eagles with two out of three from UGA and a boost into the con- ference championship with Western Division champs Hardin- Simmons. What ensued was one of the wildest three game series ever played. The Eagles won the first contest handily, 20-3, before Hardin-Simmons evened the score by taking the second game 9-8. The wind was blowing out for the rub- ber game as evidenced by the NCAA record 16 homeruns, eight by each team, in a 25-15 victory for the Eagles. The season was ended on a high note with five wins out of the last seven games. The Eagles were led by consen- sus Ail-American first baseman Craig Cooper. Cooper batted a scorching .446 as as well as leading the nation with 94 RBI and being second in the nation with 26 homeruns. Although he missed 18 games due to a knee injury, out- fielder Mike Shepherd still batted .387 with 15 homers and 50 runs batted in. Joe Bonanno had a .368 average and hit 10 homers and drove in 35 runs. Brooks led the pitching staff with a 10-6 mark and a 4.30 earned run average, striking out 93. GSC has hosted the United States Baseball Federation Hall of Fame Tournament since 1979, drawing schools from the North to head south and compete with each other and the host Eagles, and en- joy the warm Southern climate. The tournament is held annually during the beginning of March at J. I. Clements Stadium. The 1987 season looks promising for the Eagles. The pitching staff, even with the loss of ace Bi! Brooks, returns most of the 19 staff. Some of the newcomers the squad are expected to do qu well. Freshman first baseman Bn!1 Hendley will start in Cooper ' s sp j and has great power.

Baseball 261 A New Challenging Experience By Cathy McNamara In the spring of 1986, for the first time the GSC softball team competed in fast pitch softball and saw a record of 14-15. According to head coach Dr. William Spieth, the season was a new experience because of the sudden switch from slow pitch softball to fast pitch. In fast pitch softball, a pitcher ' s dominating game, it takes three to four years to develop a good, fast, consistent pitcher with decent velocity. A quick and efficient pitcher is essential to the game of fast pitch softball. It takes only a fraction of a second for the ball to reach the batter from the pitcher ' s hand, requiring a fast pitch softball pitcher to be very quick. Although the GSC softball team lacks experience in the area of fast pitch softball, Dr. Spieth contends, they ' re good athletes; they can adapt. Last year ' s switch was necessary because the NCAA does not recognize slow pitch softball in terms of having a national cham- SOFTBALL SCOREBOARD 0 Furman 3 2 Furman 9 10 Armstrong State 0 14 Armstrong State 0 7 Georgia Tech 2 4 Georgia Tech 6 1 Winthrop 2 0 Winthrop 6 6 Valdosta State 0 13 Valdosta State 0 7-7 Armstrong St. (DH) 0-0 0-1 Winthrop (DH) 5-6 3W W.

The NCAA requires that 25% to 30% of its members play the sport that meets their standards. This year ' s softball team has a bit more experience. All but four of our players have had some previous experience, says Spieth. Also, the Lady Eagles accepted three new recruits, two pitchers and a catcher, allowing improve- ment from last year. One of the key players this year is shortstop Deb- by Tomkiewicz. She has had a great deal of experience in fast pitch softball. So far, the Lady Eagles are 18-16 and making progress. Four out of the five losses suffered by the Lady Eagles were sacrificed to two strong teams, Furman and Winthrop, teams with more experience in the fast pitch game. In their game against Furman, the rivals scored three runs in the first inning and that was the ball game, sighs Dr. Spieth. Against Winthrop, a key error allowed t GSC opponents to gain two runs. The Georgia State Round Rot i Tournament was rained out mm: to the dismay of Dr. Spieth and 1 1 Lady Eagles. This was very unf : tunate for the softball tecti because, they lo st their opporturu to evaluate players early in t year. In the New South Conferen there is not an automatic bid. i stead, to qualify for post-seas i play, all NCAA teams must pla; Round Robin Tournament or p every team twice. Dr. Spieth ref to this as upgrading t schedule. Next year, the 15 player softt team plans to recruit at least two three players to fulfill the aver; j size roster of 18 players and to some positions. As it stands, i team sees many good possibilit : They also look forward to be i more experienced with fast pi softball and more successful.

Softball 263 Success at Last By Cathy McNamara For the first time since 1981, the GSC soccer team competed in the finals for the TAAC title and finished with a record year of 12-5. According to the head coach Dr. John Rafter, Our team goal for this year was to make it into the finals for the TAAC title. And that they did. Although the Eagles lost the championship to Georgia State, the top team in the Eastern Division of TAAC for the past five years, Coach Rafter was very pleased to have accomplished their goal. The team ' s strongest players are freshmen. John Regan, a midfielder, placed fourth for the TAAC Player of the Year and was a member of the 1986 Na- tional Soccer Coaches Associa- tion of America Division I All- South Team.

The captain of the soccer team is Arthur Franklin, a junior mid- fielder, and a very outstan- ding player. Co-captain, Mike Daly, is a junior midfielder and a very dedicated player. According to Daly, the team ' s success can be attributed to the addition of new players and a better at- titude. Daly continued, More money helped recruit new freshmen and travel to more games. Senior goalie Tommy Hedges has also proved to be a very outstanding player for the GSC soccer team.

Lisa Comwell Soccer 265 Run All the Way By Patrick Donahue GSC ' s cross country program has come a long way since it began as a club sport four years ago. Then stu- dent coach Sean McCormack and psychology professor Dan Nagelbert brought the team into a competitive NCAA team endeavor. In his first year at the helm, Del Presley coached the 1986 team which enjoyed a successful season. Cross country team members do not receive scholarship support, but often outperformed those run- ners from schools offering cross country scholarships. The women ' s team was led by freshman Kara Robins and sophomore Patty Patton, who both gained New South Women ' s Con- ference honors. Robins also garnered two in- dividual honors at the Citadel In- vitational and, with Statesboro native Beth Averitt, led the women ' s team to a victory in the Georgia Southern Invitational held here on October 21. At the same meet, the men finished a close second to rival Armstrong State. The men did without junior standout Ken Warner that day and replaced him with injured Bill McGarrity. Senior Dan Whipple was the fastest runner on the team for the season and freshman Sandy Hanberry finished the year as the team ' s number two runner. With three returning runners on each team, Dr. Presley hopes to add to the men ' s and women ' s squads with some strong off- season recruiting. Although there are no schol ships to afford recruits, Dr. Pres i says We offer a training progr. : that can help each athlete approa : his or her potential. I do ask 0 runners to strive for excelled both as athletes and as students. ' Ninety runners participated the Southern Spirit Run, hi Homecoming weekend.

Frank Fortune Cross Country 267 Rebuild With Individual Talents By Cathy McNamara Swimming is not an easy sport. Swimmers must have a lot of stamina, endurance, and skill, not to mention dedication, discipline, and the incentive to work hard. This year ' s swim team insured these traits with practice twice a day and weightlifting three times a week under eighteenth year head coach Bud Floyd and assistant coach Scott Farmer. It was a rebuilding year for the GSC swim team. The men lost four of their best swimmers from last year; the women lost all of their swimmers from last year except one. Both teams lost half of their recruits from this year. Despite this and their unfortunate record of 4-5 for the men and 3-6 for the women, the Eagles managed to pull many individual best times. As far as wins and losses this was not a good season for the swim team — as far as times, the season was phenomenal, according to assistant coach Scott Farmer. In the last meet of the season, the Atlanta Invitational, the Eagles sought best times in all events except five with a combined third place standing in the meet. For the men, shaved heads brought Mike Neuzil, Tim Eigel, Mike Boomer, Kenny Evans, and Andy Bristow numerous best times. Neuzil showed a best time of 2:07.76 in the 200 yard backstroke while Eigel pulled a 49.30 in the 100 yard freestyle. Boomer strived to a 22.47 in the 50 yard freestyle and Bristow swam a 2:06.04 in the 200 yard individual medley. Evans added to the competition with a first place and a best time of 54.16 in the 100 yard backstroke. Brook Beasley tacked on a best time of 2:38.92 in the 200 yard butterfly. Lee Joyner landed a time of 2:07.90 in the 200 yard backstroke as Jay Johnson picked up a 2:26.83 in the 200 yard breaststroke.

Lisa Comwell Swimming and Diving 269 Up to Par By Patrick Donahue The 1986 edition of GSC golf responded to the disappointing season of 1985 with a number of strong finishes. With five seniors on the team, there was a lot of experience and talent. Led by Billy Bulmer and 1986 Golf Coaches of America Academic Ail-American Marion Dantzler, the Eagles had a good spring campaign. One of their top showings was a fifth place out of 14 teams in the Pepsi-Budweiser Invitational. Scott Tway, younger brother of PGA champ and player of the year Bob Tway, tied for 11th in individual competition and posted a three day total of 229. Richie Bryant tied for eighth and shot 149 for the two day Hilton Head Intercollegiate at Palmetto Dunes, where the team finished seventh out of 18. But the season ' s brightest mo- ment came at the TAAC Cham- pionship at the Abilene, Texas, Country Club. Fred Benton shot a school record 63 in the second round on his way to a 208 total and a first place individual honors. Bulmer finished seventh and Dantzler tied for eighth as the team ' s three day score of 860 was good enough to take second out of the nine team field. GSC had hosted the prestigious Chris Schenkel Invitational since its inception in 1971. The 1986 field included golf powers Wi Forest, Oklahoma Stai Oklahoma, Georgia Tech and Lc siana State. The Eagles finis! 12th out of the strong 18 te i field. The good play continued into jf 1986 fall schedule. The Eagles t sixth place out of 17 in McGregor Classic and sixth oul 24 in the John Ryan Memorial Duke University. Bryant ' s 67 i opening day was good for 1 : round of the tournament i i helped him to take sixth place.

Yet, last year ' s top two players, Ryan Blake from Atlanta, and Ian Fudalla from West Germany, returned to head a good singles team. Additional outstanding players from last year ' s team also add depth to this year ' s team. Play- ing at 3 is James Wylie from Atlanta, at 4 is Herold Belker from West Germany, at 5 is Steve Benson from Toronto, and playing the 6th position is Harry Anderson from South Africa. The season ' s opener was an im- pressive match against Georgia Tech, ranked 25th. The Eagles picked up three wins, barely losing the remaining six matches to the yellow jackets. It showed promise for our long and competitive season, 2 player Ian Fudalla. The first matches were rough for the men. They lost many of their early matches due to poor doubles play. We could win 80% of the singles matches, Coach joe Blankenbaker said, but our doubles play was just too inconsistent. Blankenbaker began emphas ing volley and various doubi drills in practice and, in a matter I days, the Eagles showed impro ' r ment in practice and in match 1 The men started an impress , comeback with an eight mai winning streak to put them w above the .500 mark halfu ? through the season. We have a couple of rough rc a trips to Florida but our main cc r cern is to do well in the TAAC cc i ference, Blankenbaker added.

The game of rugby breeds enthusiasm for players and spectators because it involves ag- gressiveness, contact, violence, and danger. GSC rugby offers all this and more. During spring quarter of 1986, the Rugby Club saw a record of 5-1 and a victory of 46-6 over Spring- hill College in a wildcard game allowing them to attend the Eastern Rugby Union Group Fours Collegiate Tournament. In the tournament, the Eagles pressed for a victory against LSU with a score of 9-6. The tourna- ment games ended with a loss to Georgia Tech of 13-20. Never- theless, the rugby players were ranked second in the Southeastern Region and eleventh in the nation. Fall quarter, the Rugby Club ran a record of 2-2 and placed second in the CATS Rugby Tournament hosted in Brunswick. The Eagles snagged a 16-9 victory over UGA, but were defeated 9-12 by Golden Isles. The Eagles came back fighting their way to victory over Ft. Stewart with a score of 16-3, but suffered a 9-12 loss in a match against Georgia Tech. Winter quarter was an im- pressive one for the Rugby Club which brought a record of 5-1. Their first game against alumni car- ried the players to a 19-3 win over the old rugby players. Next, the Eagles played the Savannah Shamrock Club and sought another victory of 16-9 over the SSC. The Eagles suffered a 3-21 loss in their next game against the Columbus Rugby Club. Then rugby got their feet back on the ground with a 4-3 victory over Citadel in a very close game. The Eagles succeeded in winning both of their next two games against Emory University and Ft. Stewart with scores of 27-0 and 14-3, respectively. According to Rugby Club match secretary Jim (Zeus) Owens, the game of rugby is a gentleman ' s sport. In elaboration, Owens co tends you have to have tl temperament of a gentleman handle the violence involved rugby. Elegant violence. A go rugby player must be able to pi; efficiently and aggressively but, | the same time, elegantly. To tat; a licking and keep on ticking is i part of the rugby spirit and has i to be proven too hard for t Rugby Club. Rugby is also a game that quires team unity to succeed. I cording to Owens, the GSC Rug : Club has just that. There are star players, we ' re all out to w together to win, says Owens. Their accomplishments thus have demonstrated their ability work together as a team. If Rugby Club continues to win they have been, they have a v 1 good chance of competing o i again in the Rugby Union Gni) Fours Collegiate Tournament fr 1987.

Since 1974, the fencing club has been under the instruction of Faculty Advisor and Associate Pro- fessor of Biology, Frank French. Recently, Karen Corsetti, a post baccalaureate of GSC, began teaching beginning PE fencing courses. The fencing club is not ex- clusively for those who fence. In- stead, the club offers its members instruction in the field of fencing and proves to be highly successful. Nearly all of its members have learned to fence. The club practices in the late afternoons and evenings at the Skate-R-Bowl every quarter. In January, the club hosted its 15th annual Founder ' s Day com- petition, the Geoff Elder. This prestigious tourney attracted fencers of all levels from various parts of the Southeast. During the season, the GSC 9- member team defeated Citadel 22- 5 but was edged by Wofford Col- lege 15-12. In the collegiate invita- tional meet, the 3-member foil teams placed second and fourth. In the individual epee, Hamesh Khan and Stuart Johnson placed first and second, respectively. The first place spot in the individual sabre was taken by Trey Martin. Kimberl) Novak landed a second place in the women ' s individual foil. Throughout the season, the Eagle fencers fared well in in i dividual competitions, traveling or weekends to participate in the tour naments. The best foil fencer i Shawn McClellan who holds a C ' J rating — the rating of A is giver to those of Olympic talent. Tht best sabre fencer is President Trey Martin.

Whatever the case, unorganized sports serve several purposes. If you are health conscious, any sport is good exercise. If you find college life somewhat stressful, sports are fun and a good way to relieve the stress that comes with being a col- lege student. If you find yourself studying or relaxing too much or all the time, unorganized sports offers a healthy balance between the two. Unorganized sports are also good for the student who doesn ' t have time to join an organized sport. The point is, sports are n exclusively for jocks, or peopi who are in good shape.

Each quarter features different sports with champions determined in each bracket of each sport. On campus groups and teams spon- sored by off campus groups and local businesses vie for the right t be number one in their bracket. B far the most popular of the ir ■ tramural events is the flag footba with stiff competition ragin through fall quarter.

There are layouts all over the place. Scraps of paper, important or not, cover the floor. The only sound is that of a groaning Williams Center hallway (I think the central heating and air make the noise). It ' s late, and the only car in the park- ing lot is a white Chevette. I ' ve been up here for another marathon session with page after page before the final deadline. The green computer screen before this ex- hausted editor makes him want to scream. And I do, but no one is around to hear it. Be- ing an editor on the yearbook is almost a thankless job; but moreover, it is the most nerve-racking, agonizing, painful period in one ' s life. Until I see this copy again on a printed page near the back of a completed yearbook somewhere around the last of May, I will not receive much reward, if any. But there ' s more to it than reward. The ac- complishment justifies itself. But I have to thank God for those people that motivated me through the hard times; they are too many to mention. To be just a sophomore and get this job when you least expect it . . . well suffice it to say, it is quite difficult. Special thanks to those staff members that stuck it out to the end. One looks back on nine months of work, work and work; I cannot believe I did it. Though I have poured a majority of myself into this book, that was never my ob- jective. YOU (yes, you) were the one I wanted to capture. I know, your picture may not be in here and we may have misspelled your name, but if you ' ve read the copy, you can understand our attempt to catch the events, emotions, people and places that make GSC the way it is. This yearbook is yourbook! I knew when I started out 1 had over 7,600 bosses to please, and I did my best to do so. I hope you can see it. Let us know what you think about the job my staff and I did. And make this book more a part of you. The old high school act of signing yearbooks has died for some reason. Notice the theme, Southern Graf- fiti. Make a little graffiti of your own somewhere, and let your friends do the same. Well, that completes my spouting off. To end this is to end it all for me, and, although it was quite a pain in the rear, I really don ' t want it to end. But it must. And thank you for this opportunity to share a little of me and a lot of GSC with you. Take care and God bless you always. Reflector 1987 Recognizes SPECIAL THANKS TO the following people: Martha Faye Franklin, Jack Henry, Louise Jenkins, Dr. George Lynch, Jane Moseley, Dr. Delma Presley, Betty Reaves, Robert, Terri Pierce and Delores Landin. THANKS TO the following offices and organizations: Copy Center, The George- Anne, GSC Print Shop, Payroll, Media Committee and Mail Center. TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE, Reflec- tor 1987 would like to extend the most gratitude. Without your assistance, this would not have been possible: Dean John Nolen, Jr., Amy Swann, Bill Neville and Gina Neville. AND LASTLY, TO Colonel Chuck Savedge, Reflector 1987 would like to thank you. Your inspiration and guidance carried through all year. John Osborne THE REFLECTOR STAFF DOES DALLAS!

As we part from this ground which brought us pain with love, sleepless nights with knowledge, we cannot help nit leave something behind and take something with us. The Rock is just a symbol of everything: the good, the bad. Though some may only see the destructiveness of graffiti, others look beyond and see the art. Some look at college and see education, but we look beyond and see the people: professors, students, staff alike. And like the Rock that changes daily, we too take different turns. Som ,es for the better, other times for the worse. There are always at least two sides to an issue, but as people, we are complex. The layers of paint cover what is underneath, the essence of us all. Sometimes it is stripped away. Yet down deep, there is a hard core that makes you, you, and me, me. Life is an adventure, a risk for you to make your mark on the world. Whether it be wide and deep across the global face, or a small mark in the corner, it is YOU and something to be proud of. But in the past lies a memory of a town called Statesboro. And there you remember four years or so of growth. A mark that will remain forever. Call it SOUTHERN GRAFFITI.
