. :0- '-V-v,- , ■ V': Mercer, you succeeded in pulling off an- other fascinating year One in which there will never be another one like it You have a certain style in which you mold personal- ities, faces, buildings, nature, and time into a perfect unit known as an academic year. But. where does it all begin? You must take it one day at a time before you can see the whole picture. This is what the 1978 Caul- dron will try to portray for you your aver' age, typical, ho-hum, dull (?), exciting (?), unforgetable day at M .U 1978 Cauldron Volume 67 Mercer University Macon, Georgia 31207 MSfflSENS IW Roberts Hall 2 Morning always comes too soon for all Mercer students.

Everyth- ing happens to them from throwing them at your roommate to flushing them down the john. But we all manage to get up after a record 26 minutes of sleep Things heard during this time range from guys shouting razor nick obscenities to girls saying, My hair.

Building Classes are something we all have to go through. But that doesn’t A Even though we all enjoy the fun that comes with school, classes are what it's ail about. Mercer's classrooms are varied in many ways, mainly because no two profes- sors are alike. Whether classes are held in- doors or out, in lecture or discussion style, or with one exam or many; they are each unique. Courses vary from Fess Ware’s Comparative Anatomy to good old Fresh- man English. Deep down inside, we all have a thirst for knowledge that must be quenched! 5 George B Connell Student Center Whether you go to the cafeteria to talk, study, sleep, 6 The Mercer Cafeteria is always one of the hottest topics of conversation on campus Many students end a hard working day look- ing for a nice, quiet dinner to settle them down. But they walk in the cafeteria door only to find two serving lines each a mile long, their least favorite dish being served, a mad dash for the new coke machine, and no place to sit down. What a way to end a day throw or make comments about the food, 7 Of course, the Cafeteria is more than just a place to go and fill your bottomless pit, It offers students a place to go to hash and rehash the events of the day. They do this by flocking to their own little area to sit with their own set of friends, All in all. the Mercer Cafeteria is not such a bad place after all Where else would you enjoy such an atmo sphere for the mere price of an I D ? Ida B. Patterson Infirmary it's still a great place to go and do your thing! Mercer's famous Chapel Break means many different things to many different peo- ple. For a few lucky students who have their first class at 11, they are just waking up. For those who started earlier, it gives them a chance to go back to their rooms and catch a few extra winks of sleep. To commuter students this is a lay-over hour usually spent in the student center or the library, On the other hand, many students spend this hour in the Coop drinking coffee or cokes and catching up on the latest gossip. Some people take chapel break seriously. Others take it Willingham Chapel for granted. But have you wondered who broke the chapel? 11 Afternoons are filled with most every kind of activity immaginable. Some unfortunate people must fitl their afternoons with late classes and science labs. But. those who are more fortunate can spend their afternoons playing tennis, throwing frisbees, taking cat naps, drinking up sun rays, running errands or just plain goofing off. 12 Hugh Willet Science Center __ lt’$ the necessary break between lunch and dinner. W3 JJ 13 One aspect of campus life that seems to be going speedily downhill is dating among the students. Most guys and gals sit holed up in their rooms and never the twain do meet Furthermore, Mercer girls not only must compete among themselves, but must do battle with Wesleyan and Tift, too. But for those who are lucky enough to get out once in a while — there are dances, movies to see, and places to eat, drink, and be merry Katherine Ware Music Hall 15 I What is the one thing most students hate most about school? You guessed it studying! Most everybody, it seems, puts oft studying until the very last minute The li- brary seems like a ghosi town until dead week rolls around Then it's so full you al most have to take a number to get a seat Some poor student goes to the library two days betore exams only to find there is a waiting list 12 people long for a book his whole final covers But that's how it was back in 1978. And such is the life of an ever- yday college student! 14 16 Eugene W. Stetson Memorial Library rearranging the saw dust, etc. We all have to study. hy 17 Remember the day when you were eating dinner in the cafeteria and all the kitchen help came running out of the back yelling, “Fire''? Most students just sat there think- ing it was a funny staged walkout. But when the smell of smoke filled the air, students and trays were seen making the Great Es cape. This was the day when there was a fire in a store room of the cafeteria And how about all those bomb scares in the Student Center during spring quarter? They all seemed to come right in the middle of the best pinball game the Co-op has ever seen But you can never have too many when one finally comes true. 19 I College life is not full experienced until you live in a dormitory. Students encounter most everything in the dornn. Some popular events are hall meetings, fights for the hall phone, short sheeting your room mate’s bed. stealing someone’s clothes in the shower, no hot water, midnight capers, and tied doors. But despite all the frustrations, dorm life produces many lasting memories and friendships, i i ! 1 Walter F. George School of Law We all deserve some time to do something we want to. 22 All Mercer students have at least one thing in common; they all look forward to weekends and Wonderful Wednesdays. Ev ery student requires some time off to retain what little bit of sanity they have left. Time off is when the books are put away (for some people) and the students come out to play All sorts of activities and endeavors can be seen going on. So get out and do whatever turns YOU on' After all. students deserve a break now and then to do their own thing 23 26 27 28 29 Bili Stombndge Assistant Registrar Martha Stone Assistant Registrar Robert A.

' Seeing the light is good, but sharing the “light with a student is the fun of teaching, These words of a Chemistry professor are very gratifying. Perhaps this attitude has fostered the great strides of the Department in the last 10 years Moving into the Science Center, adding 3 com- petent chemists with Ph.D. degrees, and up- grading its instructional program are all strides made toward the goal of providing sound time- ly instruction to students preparing for careers in the Chemistry field. Offering a major which is certified by the American Chemical Society is a future goal which would enhance the reputa- tion of those who major in Chemistry at the school, 34 Dr John Marquarf Professor of Chemistry Dr. Howard Giddcns Prolessor of Christianity Dr Harold McManus Roberts Professor of Church History Helping students understand the Judeo- Christian faith as integral to their life and soci- ety is the chief aim of Mercer's Christianity Department. Today they are moving toward more practical courses, such as the prison ministry program, where students work direct- ly with prisoners at nearby institutions. For the beginner, they recommend the In- troduction to Religion and Biblical survey courses Christianity Ray Brewster Professor of Christianity 35 Russell Barber Instructor in Economics Economics Or, Charles Andrews Stetson Professor of Economics This department will become the School of Business and Economics in the Fall of 1978, The most rapidly expanding department on campus, graduating seniors have risen from 19 to 75.

Stephen Bluestone Assistant Professor of English Dr. Kenneth Hammond Professor of English The chief aim of Mercer's English Depart- ment. very simply, is to be the best around To do this, they have added new courses in film and creative writing. The main expansion, however, will be in the journalism program. When Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncovered the Watergate con- spiracy, new life was pumped into the journal- ism profession, Today, more college students than ever are seeking careers in this mush- rooming field. To satisfy this interest, the Eng- lish Department will Have a new communica- tion concentration in 1978-79 39 Health And Physical Education r Coach Barry Myers Instructor in H.P.E. Dr. Robert Wilder Professor of H.P.E. To develop an all-around healthy, physically fit individual is the purpose of the H.P.E. De- partment. Most students who enter the de- partment plan to teach P.E or become coaches in public schools. Some of the best and most popular courses are Introduction to H.P.E., Human Sexuality, and Tennis. So go have a ball in H.P.E,! 40 History Dr. Willis Glover Professor of History Dr Henry Warnoek Prolessor of History Mr. Mixon Instructor in History Dr WiJfred Platt Professor of History At Mercer, history does- more than just re- peat itself- Our History Department teaches more than names and dates. The faculty tries to add an extra dimension to the student's learning experience. With the use of films, slides, tape presenta- tions, and outside readings, the department tries to make the student aware of the impor- tance of the past and its impact on the future. Of the many courses offered, the Western Civilization and American History survey courses are excellent starting places. They provide a general knowledge of history and serve as a vital background for study in Chris- tianity, philosophy, literature, music, sociolo- gy. and economics. In addition to these courses, the History De- partment is offering a new course entitled “The Historical Background of the World s Trouble Spots. 41 Clarence Bell Associate Professor of Mathematics It is the purpose of the Mathematics Depart- ment to provide the student with necessary skills to solve any problem in life dealing with numbers. One area in the Math Department that has seen increasing interest in recent years has been computer science. With rising need in today's society in this field, this area will probably continue its rapid growth Mathematics Dr Gerald Norwood Associate Prolessor of Moth Dr Emory Whitaker Assistant Professor ol Math Dr Phillip Bean Associate Professor of Math Leslie Peek Assistant Professor ol Math Dr. D'Ann Fuqjay Associate Professor of Math SFC Tur Rosas Military Science Mercer's Military Science Department moti- vates students to earn a commission in the United States Army.

Managed by Dr. Jerry Turner, it aids each student in speaking and listening to a foreign language Dr A.E Vou- mao Associate Professor of Classical Languages The Classical Languages Department is defi nitely not all Greek to Mercer. Recently, there has been more attention given to Latin.

Comparatively few major in this field but it seems a course in Philosophy or Ethics is just needed to round out a complete college educa- tion. 46 Powell D. Bush, Jr Assistant Prolessor of Physics ‘“Physically” speaking, the Physics Depart- ment has proven that nothing is constant, Within the past ten years, the department has made many changes in its course offerings Presently, Physics is working toward an A.B. with special emphasis on Health Physics. Dan Qwsenberry Assistant Professor ol Physics 47 Or. James L. Co Professor of Political Sc or cc Hark! Is that another Jefferson or Lincoln who walks there? Or is it just another J.C.? Oh. nuts! Anyway, the Political Science Department is growing with pre-law students each year. It seems everybody and his brother (and his third cousin Chester) is going to law school. Georgia is going to be over-run with ‘Mouth- pieces-’ in a lew years. Another reason for the popularity of this department is its beloved head. Dr. James Co . He always gets an A in the hearts of the students. Dr. Russell Locke Assistant Professor of Political Science 48 Psychology Dr Vicki Kowlowit.? Assistant Professor of Psychology Tom Glennon Associate Professor of Psychology r Jim Radiker Assistant Professor of Psychology Hearts are still heavy over the loss of one of Mercer’s greatest teachers ever. Dr Charles McBride from the Psychology De- partment. He was a REAL human being with the welfare of his students at heart- The Cauldron expresses extreme gratitude for his contribution in the lives of its staff. Dr. Jim Radiker, a fascinating soul in his own right, takes over as head of the Depart- ment. An intriguing subject. Psychology is drawing more students to its study each year. There will likely be a great trend to- ward Experimental Psychology in the com- ing year. Sociology Joanna Wats n instruct in Sociology Martin Gilbert, Jr Instructor in Sociology Ermelinda Quiambao Associate Protessor ol Sociology Dr James Albritton Assistant Professor of Sociology Sociology, according to Department Chair- man Dr. Albritton, is a “vital discipline which allows the student to better understand the social forces and institutions that influence his beliefs and behavior. Mercer's Sociology De- partment has changed greatly to meet this goal. This year, a number of outmoded courses were dropped and two minors in Criminal Jus- tice and Anthropology were added. Speech And Dramatic Arts Bill Slagle Instructor in SDA Ge«re Price Assistant Professor of SDA SDA has progressed considerably in recent years with an expanded curriculum, a new mi- nor in broadcasting and Film Studies, and an expanded audio lab.

The brothers of Gamma Zeta chapter here at Mercer, although the subject of much controversy, continue to stand as one. Our spirit will not be broken. 112 GREEK IS 114 UNIQUE!! 115 Louie D 118 As a tribute to one of the most outstanding religious leaders of this year, Mercer University dedi- cated the Tattnall building to Dr. Louie D Newton and renamed it Newton Hall, Mr Baptist , as Dr. Newton is often referred to, has served in every office of the Southern Baptist convention, in- cluding the presidency. Dr. New- ton has not only been a diligent Christian, but has also had a long, close relationship with Mer- cer, Dr, Newton was awarded the General Excellence Medal, which he helped reestablish this year as an award to an outstanding sen- ior. As an example of its gratitude, Mercer has renamed this award the Louis D. Newton General Ex- cellence Medal. Dr Newton has exemplified the best in both Christian and philanthropic en- deavor and has a record of ser- vice for which Mercer and the en- tire Christian community will long be grateful. Lectures Mercer students were fortu- nate this past year in having the opportunity to hear a wide variety of opinions concerning contem- porary issues. Former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Nicholas Johnson, who now heads The National Citizens Committee on Broadcasting, was the first to appear Other speak ers during Fall Quarter included Marsha Gillespie. I F Stone and Alice Walker. During Winter Quar- ter, the schedule of speakers in- cluded William Arrowsmith. Also appearing during the winter were John Perkins and Don Wagner, who led a seminar on Human Rights and Responsibilities. Envi- ronmentalists were popular dur- ing the spring, with Barry Com- moner, Jean-Michael Cousteau, and Robert Heilbronor appearing. The Lamar Lecture Series, made possible by an endowment from the late Eugenia Dorothy Blount Lamar, continued this year with Dr, Richard Beale Davis speaking. Dr, Davis, a noted scholar in the area of colonial Southern history, gave his lec- tures during Fall Quarter. 120 Blood a ’ D One activity which Mercer stu- dents have supported very well has been the Red Cross Blood Drive. Al- though The Blood Drives did not quite reach iheir goals, they were still successful. On the average, about 250 pints of blood were given during each drive. And Dances Q (5 § V Despite a low budget, the Student Union Activities Board brought several concerts to Mercer this year. Oconee, Sea Level, Jericho Harp, and the Jim Conners Band all performed. With the budget increases that will be brought about by the increased student activi- ties fees, it is expected that several additional concerts will be provided in the future. Also, there were several dances for the students to enjoy. Among the bands performing were Talk of the Town and The Tams, In addition, there were two very popular street dances, with music provided by Tom and Dave and Choice. Finally the year was ended with a dance by Tara in the Macon Coli- seum. a i l 122 Cowboys Spring Spring has sprung. The flowers is riz. I wonder where the birdies iz They were all at the Spring Festival at Mer- cer University, that's where. The Festi- val was a boop-n-hollerirV success. Lib- eration started it off with an A l. get- down-artd-boogie dance. Red. White, and Bluegrass. the Skoal Boys, and the Phi Mu Washboard Band gave a smash- ing afternoon of music. Choice was supposed to have brought Mercer an- other street dance, but it was called into the gym due to inclement weath- er. 123 Series 125 From guitarists to voca! ensem- bles, the Mercer Fine Arts Senes brought an international cast of performers to Mercer and the Grand Opera House. Beginning with the Newport Ja22 Festival All Stars and The Panocha String Quartet of Praque in the fall. Mer- cer students and Macon residents were feted to the finest in musical entertainment. During the winter quarter. Andre Watts, Ferrante and Teicher, the Moscow Chorale Progei Trio. Masuko Ushida, and Anna Moffo performed. Finally the year was ended with a concert by Mario Escudero in the spring. Thus, a wide variety of entertain- ment was presented for Mercer students to enjoy. 126 Homecoming 1978 was again one of the activities with the greatest amount of student participation. The festivities be- gan on Monday with a Faculty Auction in which students were allowed to bid on the opportunity to hit their favorite faculty or administration member with shaving cream. This year Dean Bacon at $17.25 brought the highest price Ofher activities during the week included a bonfire, The Beauty and The Beast competition and a lawn display contest, won by Lambda Chi Alpha. Finally, the week was ended with a win by Mercer over Georgia State rn the homecoming game, followed by a dance in the Coliseum, 127 I The Beast One of the most popular activi- ties associated with Homecoming is the annual Beauty and The Beast competition Sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega service fraterni- ty. the proceeds of the competi- tion are used for charitable pur- poses. In voting by their fellow students Lambda Chi Alpha was chosen as the first place winner. Pi Kappa Phi as the second place winner and the Scabbard and Blade military society as the third place winner Congratulations to the Lambda Chi's. 129 J Square Swing Your partner and prom- enade , the caller shouts. Otto Morrison, professional caller, taught an eager beaver group of students how to square dance during spring quarter. Everything from do-si-do -ing to yellow rod -ing was learned So all squared up and had a ball. 130 Medea The Mercer Play Schedule be- gan Fall Quarter with a marvel ously outstanding performance of Medea , Aided by an uniquely structured stage, the cast did a superb job of portraying the well- known Greek tragedy. Although this was the first intense dramatic role for lead actress, Monie Dobbs, she used her inate dra- matic ability to the fullest as Me- dea, 133 Waiting Winter quarter saw another excellent play being presented. ‘‘Waiting for Go- dot” is a light sort of comedy set along an old country road. K.G. Stephens and Mark Wood, both playing leading roles, did excellent jobs. Even though the play had a small cast, It seemed a re- freshing change from the large in- volved casts of recent plays. 135 There always seems to be music in the air during Springtime. This spring was no exception with a dif- ferent sort of musical being present- ed on the Mercer stage. “Three Pen- ny Opera'1, taken from the well- known “Beggar's Opera”, was a sto- ry about beggars, robbers, and thieves set in old London Town, Tom Williams did a surprising job design- ing and building a stage. Costumes were gorgeous, and Paul Oppy and Rick Nelson directed in a superb way, Doug Davidson did a smashing job in the lead part of this musical with no dancing, just hard core songs and acting. 137 140 FIRST ROW Bud Turner.

To win in baseball requires the combination of two basic ingredients — consistently strong pitching backed by a potent hitting attack, Mercer's Base- ball Bears blended these two elements together to complete yet another excellent season. The Bears won exactly two-thirds of their games, finishing with a 32-16 record The 32 wins ties a school record for most wins in a season. The 1976 and '77 teams also won 32 games, Had the squad made up several games which were rained out, it most likely would have broken the record. Nevertheless, first-year head coach Barry Meyers was pleased with his team's effort. To play almost every day facing such a tough schedule as the Bears required a consistent starting pitching staff. The Bears had an excellent four-man rota- tion in Wayne Nix. Gary Green. Danny Fitzsimmons, and Walter Prestwood. Nix, from Grayson, Ga. and Prestwood from Milledgevilte, finished with identi- cal 7-3 records. Prestwood also pitched 101 innings and had 64 stri- keouts. Fitzsimmons finished 6-2 with a 2.97 earned run average. Green had a 2.94 EFtA with a 6-6 record. The Bears had a strong hitting lineup from top to bottom. Second baseman Jerry Copeland paced all hitters with a .351. He also led the squad in stolen bases, swiping 13 in 17 attempts. Third baseman Mark Sterritt hit .340 with 11 homeruns. This is believed to be a new record. Sterritt also led the teams in RBls with 43. Rounding out the infield were freshman Shortstop Skeeter Sommers (296) and first baseman Scott Hallam (270). Mark Bynum did most of the catching while batting .281 Five outfielders were capable of starting on any given day. Greg Engle and Joel Selph, both of Vero Beach, Fla., were regulars in right and center. Engle hit .284 and led in runs and dou- bles. Selph finished with 9 homeruns and .297.

With 16 wins, they tied a school record for most wins in a season. The team was led in scoring by junior guard Stewart Reese who had a 15.8 average Reese was selected the Most Valuable Player and made the All-South team. Stanley Black Joe Everette, Jeff Linville, Kenny Daugherty, Robert Miles, and David Lewis also made valuable contributions. The Bears started oft the season poorly, finishing 4-7 in December. However, from that point on they played very well, winning nine of their last eleven games. The team had an excellent 12 2 home record, losing only to Florida and Southern Mississippi. The highlight of the season, although a loss, was the game with the University of North Carolina. UNC was the number three team in the country, and the game was played in Chapel Hill in front of 10,000 screaming Carolina fans. Despite such odds, Mercer lost only in the final seconds, 73-70. The Bears led at halftime 38 37. Stewart Reese led all scorers with 26 points, and Robert Miles had 10 rebounds. The play in this game gave the Bears extreme confidence throughout the re- mainder of the season. They lost only one of their last seven games. That was a 66-65 loss at the hands of Stetson. Homecoming weekend was wrapped up with a 79-56 victory over Georgia State. Joe Everette, a quick little guard who showed moments of brilliance, is the only player the Sears lose to graduation. With this thought in mind, Coach Bibb and the Mercer fans can look for an excellent season next winter. 146 KNEELING: Kerry Glover (Mgr ).

The team came back from a 15 point second-half deficit to win in the final minute of the game. Vivian Humphrey scored 33 points and pulled down 1L rebounds. Also included in the Teddy Bears' win column was an 85-78 victory over Berry College Berry was rated the number three team in the country in the small college poll at the time. In that game Humphrey and senior Rhonda Sharp had 25 points each. The team scoring and rebounding leader was Vivian Humphrey, with averages of 18.0 and 8.7 respectively. She was selected the Most Valuable Player of the team. Humphrey, as well as Lynn Thompson, was selected on the ail-state team. The outlook for next year’s squad is optimistic. There are eight girls returning from the 1977-78 team. Coach Fontaine has recruited three girls who are 5'-l 1 or taller, as the greatest weakness in her first Mercer team was rebounding. If the young girls play up to their poten- tial next season, the fans will enjoy some good basketball. 151 Considering that this was a rebuilding year for Coach Bob Wilder and his Teddy Bear tennis team, it (they?) (he?) did very well. Only two girls returned from the 1977 squad, and it does not lose any from this 1978 team. The girls' posted a 9-6 final re- cord, which included 9-0 wins over Wesleyan and Augusta. Sharron McSwain played number one for the Teddy Bears, and had an excellent 12-3 record over her opponents. Playing the number two position was junior Barbara Fuerniss, who finished 8-7. Rounding out the team were Tammy Treadwell, Beth Massey, Lynn Alley, and Donna and Dayna Leake, WE OPPONENT THEY 4 Emory 5 9 Wesleyan 0 6 Armstrong State 3 9 Augusta 0 4 Valdosta 5 4 Columbus 5 6 Georgia State 3 3 Columbus 6 5 Shorter 4 0 Georgia 9 5 Shorter 4 1 Georgia Southern 8 7 Georgia State 2 5 Young Harris 4 5 Valdosta 4 r WE OPPONENT THEY 1 Georgia Southern 8 3 Emory 5 3 Tennessee Tech 6 3 Anderson 6 0 Furman 9 0 Davidson 9 0 Presbyterian 9 2 Citadel 7 1 Shorter 8 8 Augusta 1 2 Columbus 7 5 Abraham Baldwin 2 3 Georgia State 6 6 Armstrong State 3 8 Macon Junior College 1 6 West Georgia 3 6 Georgia State 3 6 Augusta 3 3 Columbus 6 7 West Georgia 2 2 Georgia Southern 7 0 Shorter 9 7 Young Harris 2 4 Valdosta 5 154 The men's tennis team compiled a 9-15 record in the spring of 1978. After getting off to a horrendous 0-9 start, the netters were victorious in nine of their last fifteen matches. A tough, early road trip, which carried the squad to North and South Carolina, accounts for the poor beginning. Faced against strong teams such as Southern Conference members Furman and David son, the Bears at first had a difficult time getting into the win column. However, they played well the rest of the season, winning four matches in a row during one stretch. Coach Bob Wilder has high expectations for next year's team, as he only loses one player in King Saliba. Rob Wilder, Danny Walker, and Ernie Trammel were the hub of this year's team. These three will be return- ing, as well as Charles Harris, John Ganter, Ted Farm- er, and Doug Nichols, to make for a more experienced squad. 155 The 1977 edition of the Mercer soccer team was one of inexperi- ence, injuries, and relinquish- ment. First year head Coach Vin- cent Tur-Rojas saw his young squad suffer through a hapless season, some games in which there were barely enough players to field a team. Injuries to key players was the main reason for the poor season. The captain of the team was Micheal Seager. Danny Barron is an excellent prospect — one of the best Mer- cer's soccer team has seen in several years. Despite the out- comes, the soccer men who en- dured the long season gave all-out efforts. With an experienced and healthy team, Mercer could have a winner in 1978. 156 The girls' intramural foot- ball championship was once again won by the Phi Mu's. In the final game, Chi 0 was defeated by Phi Mu 6-2. making the ninth straight year in which they have been the number one team. The league was sponsored by the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. The Kappa Sigma fraternity won the mens’ intramural football championship this year, taking the title away from last year's winner. Alpha Tau Omega. In the Greek league competition, the Sigs beat the TAU's 19-13 to take the regular season championship. No independent team advanced to the final round ol the play-offs. Kappa Sigma and ATO were once again matched up. The Sigs again won, 13-0, to prove to all that they were true champions. Among others, quarterback Shaw Maddox and receivers Charlie Brannen and David Russell were star players for the Sigs. A talented independent team finished the season with a per- fect record to win the girls' in- tramural championship. The team was Butch's Angels, led by Dawn Davis and Mary Lou West. The Oreos finished in second place. The top Greek team was Chi 0. which took third place. The main reason for this intramural basketball program is to have fun, and to let many girls have a chance to play. 160 Men’s intramural basketball provided a great deal of excitement this year. After it was all over, Helter Skelter was without question the supreme team. This inde- pendent squad skirted through the entire season flawlessly. In the final game of the playoffs Helter Skelter defeated Omega Psi Phi 66-55, to take the crown. This makes two years in a row in which this team has won the championship. Heller Skelter was led by a quick little shooting guard, Ron Appling. Other members of this balanced team were Eric West. Ros- coe Mitchell. Butch Cooper. Mike Lee, Chris Carlson, and Al Oglesby. Omega Psi Phi (Ques). and Kappa Sigma also had outstanding teams. 161 At the outset of the women's softball season, every- one said that the Oreos were this team to beat. They were one of the top teams in 1977, and were strong once again this spring. The Oreos were fortunate enough to advance to the final round of the play-offs, where they won the championship by defeating Chi Omega. The final game was nipand-tuck to the last out, but the Oreos finally finished on the top end of an 11-8 score. Other teams which made it to the playoffs were the Teddy Bears. Alpha Gamma Delta, the BBSs, and the Good News Bears. Despite sub standard equip- ment and field conditions, all of the female softball participants enjoyed the season. 162 As the men's softball season winded its way down to the final week, two independent teams proved to be the strongest. These were force, and the Sucks. Force defeated the Bucks in the final play-off game to finish number one. No Greek teams got beyond the first round of the play-offs. However, ATO and Lambda Chi were the top teams in the Greek division. 166 Jean Kenlan. S.G A Presided Student Government Association FIRST ROW: David Pryor. Bob Ellis fV.P ), Jean Kenlan (Prev).

Now that I have gotten your attention, I can get on with what I have to say. It’s hard for rue to believe the 1978 CAULDRON is finally over Another year and another yearbook have come and gone, never to return again. Being Editor of a College yearbook, especially Mer- cer's. is no piece of cake. I’ve almost Pulled my hair out a few times overall the tears and pains. But it hasn't been ail bad. There've been a lot of laughs and happy times, too. One highlight of the year was meeting and talking with President Harris all by myself one after- noon. He's really a super guy! The staff and I didn't take Susan's advice from last year on learning how to read a calendar. Everything got done again way behind schedule. Some members of the staff, namely: William Wil- son, Raymond Lawton, Ward DeWitt, Davyd Mincey, Liz Donzella, and Barbara-Jean Morgan: really did a super job, though. To them goes all my love and heart-felt thanks. Some members, however, didn't do their job, well, and they know who they are and how disappointed I am in them. Lastly, I want to thank my family and friends for putting up with me through all this. My four years here at Mercer have been both good and bad, as I'm sure most everyone's has. I must confess, I sometimes wish 1 had transferred to Georgia Tech where all the guys are. My grades weren't nearly as good as I wanted them to be. But I did make a lot of friends to make up for the bad things You know. I came to Mercer looking for a nice young man who was courteous, consider- ate of others' feelings, and not completely self-centered. So far, after four years, I’m still looking for — just — ONE — I hope this book has succeeded in bringing back a few happy memories of 1978 for you. “Good Luck , with the 1979 book, Davyd, because you sure are going to need it!
