Georgia 31207 A Quiet Celebration SoĀ itenth reader, you Ā itl find the rjtĀ materials of this college life of ours inside the Cauldron; you Ā ill find the fire underneath, if you has e the spark still in you; and if your youthful college spirit has not a holly died out of you. the crackle of these feu dry sticks in the flames ā¢rill be music to your ears from the introduction to the 1911 Cauldron This 1986 Cauldron marks the 75th volume of Mercer's yearbook. The celebration v as a quiet one. without the hype and hoopla usually sur- rounding such .i milestone. Yet, yearbooks arc of a different breed than most things. Hath pass- ing year brings more importance to yearbooks as history books and the delight in finding one's picture four times throughout the book often fades. Yearbooks are history books, and if done well, should accurately reflect the mood, trials, and triumphs of the year it covers The 1986 Cauldron staff hopes we have achieved this goal According to Dr. Sprighl Dowell's A History of Mcrccr University, the Cauldron is the third of Mercer's annuals. The Mcrccrian was the first, followed by the Kinctoscope. which was printed from 1897 to 1901. The Senior Class of 1911 decided to bring back the yearbook and held a contest to give the book a new name. W.B. Mur- ray of Ashburn suggested the title Ā« Cauldron, explaining that it embodied the idea of a mix- ture of everything in college life being poured into a bubbling pot The judges of the contest unanimously approved the suggested name, and the Cauldron came to life in 1911. CLOCKWlSt- The Cauldron has kept faithful records of Mercer's football teamĀ The small faculty of 1927 seems hard to believe, even with student professors added in The Stadium Drive Apartments were becoming a reality in 1963 and graced that yearās book cover The 1939 cover demonstrates the period of intricate book covers In-depth coverage of the basketball seasons were complete with collages of the players The New Road outlined Mercer s nesĀ programs and plans for the future (from 1936). A comical welcome from Mercer to new students. Cauldron 7 5 - A DJAMOm Ā£DJ ZJOJ J Diamonds. Bears. Witches, and Cauldrons have all appeared in various forms during the 75-year period. The frontispiece in the first volume shows three witches around a bubbling cauldron, and successive books have the witches flying on broomsticks, raising a Bible from a cauldron, and materializing in the border of the pages. Cauldrons also appear often in assorted shapes and sizes. Bears and their cubs have appeared on many of the covers in the history of the yearbook. During the late 1940ās, a cartoon bear led the reader through the yearbooks as he personally- displayed the various facets of Mercer life. This year, diamonds can be seen on the pages of this special anniversary section, and appear prominently on division pages. This diamond anniversary is unusual because, if one carefully subtracts, this hould be the 76th anniversary. Bat. an unprinted yearbook in the early 1930's accounts for the discrepancy, and that's why the 75th volume is celebrated this year.

The Cauldron has changed sizes, shapes, and thickness, and the early covers were bendable hardcovers. But more noticeable is the content of each book. Present books focus on news and newsy or feature presentations. Gone are the baby pic- tures that were present in high school books, and Last Will and Testaments arc nothing but a memory. Early Cauldrons (and the Kinctoscopcs) were definitely history books. Class histories incorpo- rated the prospects and concerns of the individ- uals of a given class. Many were lighthearted and tended to poke fun and exaggerate the truth. Now. such an extensive story would take up almost 10 pages of solid writing to cover the lives of every student here. Class songs, field cries, jokes, and poems packed the pages in the early books. An example of one of the field cries is on the opposite page. Those have all vanished not only from the pages of the Cauldron, but also from the spirit of Mercer. Miss Mercer's existence is still on shakey ground, but she hasnāt yet met the fate of Viiss Cauldron. This honorable title existed from the 50ās to the 70ās when she quietly disappeared. Like the Miss Mercer contest. Miss Cauldron contestants were sponsored by organizations and grccks, and the applicants poured in. Also marking history and marking the old Caul- drons collectorsā items was the coverage of the Mercer football team. Complete synopsis of each game, some when we beat UGA, and ac- tion photos of our star team appeared before World War II. The C'auldronshave covered a span of 76 years, including both World Wars, Vietnam. Nixon, the birth of Rock Roll, the Depression. Wom- enās Lib. Civil Rights. Kennedy. MLK Jr., and life before television. Yearbooks arc history books, and one of the best ways to learn about how all these events have affected Mercer, look at an old Cauldron. Cauldron Zhe Past a v r The Cauldron has faced some hard limes during its lifetime, but it has man- aged to struggle onward. It still makes an attempt to cover Mercer news, her students, the events, and the groups of people that make Mercer tick The Cauldron has become a permanent record of Mercerās past. People can look back, and not only see how things were āback then. but also see how Mercer has grown and flourished into the institution it has become. ā viii Cauldi ron oojp|nr ) amo J 3resit Start I he purpose of the 1986 Cauldron is to re- cord the events of the year and the people I or many reasons, this year is a fresh start l or the ( auldron, it means the beginning of a new era. l or the freshmen, it means a new challenge New people.

This season's first production. The Dresser, was scheduled during the first weeks in September and demonstrated the hard work of a small cast and a summer full of planning. The Taming of the Shreu brought the Players and the audience outside for an entertainment landmark while maintaining the fine quality of prior productions Goodbye Darkness, the Lab 1 heatre's second production saw not only the dedicated work of the cast and crew, but the creation of l)r John Chalfa. who wrote the script based on the book. I hc year closed with the much anticipated mu- sical. The Tiddler on the Roof, w hich left audiences humming the songs long after the show. Professors Paul Oppy and Marian Zielinski always manage to put forth a quality product which displays the vibrant energy and enthusiasm of the cast and crew. The carpenters, painters, costume designers, and other people involved give the extra effort (be- yond their regular course work) that make the whole- project work. Their time is a sacrifice, but the finished product makes it worthwhile. anting Of Zke hrew . . .

Before Bianca can be married, a hus- band for Kate must be found. Mean- while, Pctruchio is tempted by Kate's wealth and sets out to woo her. Kathar- ina's shrewish temper doesn't prevent a wedding to Pctruchio. who begins to behave atrociously himself. So well does he play this part that Kate is utter- ly subdued, and becomes the model of wifely obedience. Shannon's Katharina was the epitome of a shrew, and was perfectly matched with Chris comic Pctruchio These, with the rest of the cast worked well with each other to produce a show that 1 Shakespeare himself would have cn joyed.

Break A Leg, Not A Neck Not many people would have felt guilty about breaking the character Kathar- ina's neck, and throughout history, many have probably thought seriously about it. Nearly two weeks before the perfor- mance, Shannon Aldridge was in an automobile accident that caused her to injure her neck sevcrly. Katharina isnāt the quiet kind of character, so playing the ever-moving mischievous shrew seemed out of the question. Rumors be- gan to circulate about finding a re- placement or closing the show, but Shannon managed to recover in time. By the time October 24th rolled around, Katharina was throwing lan- Ā«ums without anyone suspecting;that a cck earlier. Shannon was wearing a neck brace. [ Shrew News ā¢ Shrew News | Mingling With The Stars After plays at Mercer (and other plays and other places), it is customary to go backstage to congratulate the actors and actresses. It gives the common folks a chance to mingle with the stars. For Shrew, the performers made a grand entrance in song and dance, and proceeded to mingle with the crowd. And at the end of the performance, the musicians began to play and the stars grabbed audience members to partici- pate in the dances of the period. The Musicians, Etc.

Bear Hands produces one major show per year for the area deaf and for Mercer students and associates. This yearās theme was āAn American Tribute.ā In light of the Challenger tragedy, the Hands Across America event, the upcoming Statue of Liberty celebration, and the renewed patriotism becoming evident in other happenings in our country, the Bear Hands tried to pay respect to America, her best, and her purpose The performances were on May 16 and 17 at the Medical School Auditorium. Though the room was never packed, the people who showed up praised the performers for a job well done. Many of the audience members were members of Maconās deaf community. One woman had learned of the performance in her deaf Sunday School class, and arrived over an hour early to get a good scat A man who was there for the Friday perfor- mance reappeared at Saturday's matinee. He in- formed one of the Bear Hands that the aerobics routine was one of his favorites. On Saturday's performance, many of the deaf people came up on stage after the encore to congratulate the Bear Hands. āYour signing is wonderful! one woman excitedly signed. Another woman signed happily, Thank you.āā Reaching out to entertain both the hearing and the deaf was a rewarding task. Many of the hearing picked up words or phrases and were signing as they left Bridging the gap is never as difficult as it seems. In this ease, it was fun. PARTI ASI Rap Virginia. Nadean. Punky Pam.

Also on display were equipment for the hearing impaired, board games for the blind, and a TTY telephone equipped for the deaf.

GROWING Engineering School w And Other Reasons lor This Year To Be Remembered Donāt worry folks, this year will surely live on in Mercer history The good The bad The Definitely indifferent No year will ever go by without finding some type of unfavorable action made b the university. So while this yearās events will merely blend in with Mer- cerās history, and the intensity of anger fades with each passing day. it is still important to remember what happened and why. Mercer was often front-page material in the newspapers. Reporter Janet Groat became a person not totally wel- comed by most administrators at meet- ings. while she became the medium through which many voiced their con- cerns. Apathy did several turnabouts this year when students got more or less involved in the controversies. A small group of people at Mercer originated the 8% phenomenon that had others either cheering or hissing. The 38% basically stood for the college of liberal arts. 38% of the whole university While seeming- ly a small percentage, the Cl A is the largest portion within the whole, but appears to be neglected 100%. The fears of unnecessary growth (the new engineering school, the surprise acquisi- tion of Tift College, etc.) and manage- ment of funds (tuition, grants, loans, bonds, etc.) haunted the mood of the year. Petitions, letters to the editor, and other attempts to make people do more than twiddle their thumbs were scorned by the oblivious and by the obvious. Activity by faculty was not looked upon which much favor. The Right to Dissent was no longer āright , and stories be- gan to circulate regarding the conse- quences of dissention. Mercer is facing a period of tremen- dous change, and that puts a strain on everyone and w hat they say or do. Tem- pers on all sides have Haired, mistakes were made, and often the wrong action was taken The positive side is that all the people involved will say it is for the good of the school. The school exists for the stu- dents. but arc the students really inter- ested in more than cafeteria food and why the books in the Bookstore are 25% higher here than anywhere else? crushed the wills of the students. āI'm graduating, and I just don't want to get involved. was too often the answer to the question of responsibility. Responsibility? A responsibility to the university and to those who will be stu- dents in the future Those few students who took it upon themselves to make students aware of the world outside of suntans and the co-op were viewed as being ārebels Meanwhile, the future of the student body rests in hands full of twiddling thumbs. One favorite professor makes a habit of urging students to support their alma mater after graduation. Students need to start their support now. by getting involved, to insure there will be a Mer- cer University tomorrow.

Across (tic nation, people watched in silence as the January 28th flight of the space shuttle Challenger ended in a fiers explosion after only 7) seconds after blast-off. Included in the list of the seven crew members was the first teacher in space. Christa McAuliffc. Americans had soared into space 55 times over 25 years, and the safely of these flights had been taken for granted by most people. Even the lengthy delays due to the weather or computer malfunctions never really got Americaās atten- tion as they became routine prior to launch. The novelty of space shuttle flights had disappeared a long time ago. However, this flight was special to citizens all over, because it opened the door to those aver- age Americans who had once dreamed of going up in space While NASA hud proposed sending a private citizen into space, it was the President who had decided that a teacher would be first More than 11.000 teachers applied after Rea- gan told a group of students and teachers about his intent in August 198 4. At a White House ceremony last July 19. Vice-President Bush an- nounced that McAuliffc was the chosen. After three months of training, she and the crcwmatcs were ready for their multiple mis- sion. MeAuliffeās task was to conduct two 15- minute classes in space as millions of schoolchil- dren watched via closed-circuit TV. All America mourned the death of the Chal- lenger crew, calling them heroes. Flags flew at half-mast, motorists in Atlanta switched on their headlights, the Olympic Torch in Los An- geles was relit, and various other actions hon- ored their courage and sacrifice. JUDITH A.

However, enrollment among minority students continues to decline. According to the HEGIS Reports made to the Federal Government, the total number of enrolled students for fall 1985 is 2320 compared to 2213 who were enrolled in the fall of 1984. Of the 2320 students currently attending Mer- cer. 1951 arc while. Minority student population for fall 1985 is 301 Black. 24 Hispanic. 21 Asian. 17 Non-Resi- dent Alien, and 6 American Indian. When asked if Black students or any other ethnic groups were actively re- cruited. recruiter Steve Simpson of Mercer Admissions said that there are no recruiters who focus primarily on minority students David Luckie. Direc- tor of Admissions said, Wc recruit good students period.ā lie maintains that it is hard for them to reach Black students because the Black student sknow Mcrccr is too expensive and won't show up. In reference to the recruitment process for international students. Luckie said that is is an expensive process. The in- ternational students have a hard time getting their government to pay ex- penses for attending American univer- sities. He also added that the Admis- sions office has interviewed candidates for a minority recruiting position but has not found anyone who qualifies for the position. It is important to note that, with the exception of 1981 and 1985 fall enroll- ments. both Black and White student enrollments declined or increased dur- ing the same years Although the num- bers of students is smaller. Mercer's student body is 13 Black compared to approximately 6 Black at the Univer- sity of Georgia. The 13 figure is the highest among colleges and universities in Georgia. 54 M.in of the stones on pages 54-5 arc adapted from the CtuUen from this year Mercer News CLA Gets New Dean Mercer President K Kirby Godscy an nounccd the appointment of Dr. Sam myc Crawford Greer of Spartanburg S.C., as dean of the College of Liberal Arts and professor of Fnglish at Mercer University in Macon effective July I. 1986.

On Thursday, May 1st, Mercer Univer- sity received a phone call from Wayne Duvall, a writer for Playboy magazine. Kon Light, president of IFC. handled the call with the help of the voting members of IFC. Ron. being a little skeptical that Duvall was really with Playboy. asked for his number and called him back, and upon dialing, he received Playboy International Inc. One purpose of Duvall's call was to no- tify Mercer that it had been chosen as one of one hundred schools nominated for the 40 Top Partying Schools In America ' The other reason was to in- terview Mercer for the title for which it had been nominated. The Interview consisted of a series of questions about the campus life of the university and the students who attend. Duvall has a standard set of questions he asks each school that he interviews. Concerning students, he asks about life- styles, background, partying styles, goals in life, intelligence, and main rea- sons students attend their schools. In addition to these questions, he delves into such subjects as favorite partying night, favorite drink, wildest sorority and fraternity, and many humiliating questions not fit for printing. The contributing factors that pitched Mercer into such a category were really quite small. Mr. Duvall stated that he had heard tales from other students from other institutions that Mercer had huge parties on Tuesday nights, a night when most college students were study- ing.

Big-Bucks Freedom Restitution Recognition On April 11.1986. a Ecdcral Court jury awarded Mercer University S2.4 mil- lion in damages against two manufac- turers of asbetos-contaimng materials discovered and removed from Mercerās building The juryās award includes compensa- tory damages for the costs Mercer in- curred in removing the products from the three buildings on the Mercer At- lanta campus and $1 million in punitive damages against each of the two defen- dants: National Gypsum Company and W.R. Grace and Company. Mercer brought suit in April 1985 to recover the costs of removing and re- placing the asbestos materials in build- ings on both its Macon and Atlanta campuses. The materials of concern have the potential to release respirable asbestos fibers which have been associ- ated with oncer and other diseases. The Macon buildings were excluded from the ease last month because of the statute of limitations. Corinne Houpt. Mercer's General Counsel, said, We are very pleased that the jury agreed with Mercer that the costs of removing and replacing these materials should rest on the com- panies that knew of the danger and con- tinued to sell the products as safe.ā Mercer held a convocation on January 20th to celebrate and honor Dr. Martin Luther King.

I hatās what it was all about this year for the Teddy Bears Basketball team. Although it was not a perfect season, the Teddy Bears dedicated themselves to improve and come together with tremendous team effort. Leading the team was Caroline Nicholson, a 5ā8ā junior guard who ended up being the high scorer for the majority of the 27 games played. Also returning was Susan Bargo. Cheryl Jones and Tina Kendrick Several other new players came fighting for playing time for the Mercer team this season. Another star player was Rose Jone who had the rebound record for the majority of games played. The season started off a little slow, but the Teddy Bears eventually had their first victory against Florida A M in an exciting home game with a final score of 75 71. I he Teddy Bears were back in Division I this season after just one year in Division II play They played in the New South Women's Conference which includes schools such as Georgia Southern. Georgia Stale. Florida A M. Stetson and Central Morida In addition they also played Auburn. Miami and NCAA Division I runnerup Georgia and Virginia lech In the NSW AC Tournament, the Teddy Bears in a suspcnscful game lost by one point to Georgia Southern in overtime. Oh. what a season? Next one is expected to be even better! M Basketball What makes Teddy Bear Head Coach Ed Nixon so success- ful is hard to say. What else can one say about a coach who is truly well liked and respected by his players? Since com- ing to Mercer in 1970. Coach Nixon has become a favorite among players and students on the Mercer campus. Some say his greatest asset is his willingness to share some time with students. Others say his success lies in his concern for others A full page of Coach Nixonās credits and accom- plishments could have been stated here, but this Shoot That Ball! 66 The Prize Ball 67 i f root I to R) Bruce Shepard.
