D. Johnson and A. Allen have found that the rooms provide a comfor- table place to study. Bill Skipper uses the outdoor phone to tell his friend that he is wait- ing. 2 S.H.A.K.E. he S.H.A.R.E. (Shorter Hall Active Residence Experi- ence) program has become Residence Life’s great ex- periment for the next two years. Newly renovated, refurnished, and equipped with a new security system. Shorter has been set aside for a third of the freshman class — both male ami female. “We hope to start an attitude change among the residents at Mer- cer.” says C.D. Merricks, director of Residence Life. S.H.A.R.E. is a two-year pilot pro- gran designed to give freshmen more stability and to get them in- volved in Mercer sooner, thus in- creasing the chances that they will return their second year. Merricks hopes that S.H.A.R.E. will promote active hall associations and bring about a positive attitude toward campus residence. On a practical level, it provides more evenly dis- tributed housing for both women and men Two floors of the building are designated as women’s halls, (iround, first, and second floors are men’s halls. Residence Life spent over $1 10,000 just on repainting and refurnishing the dorm, down to the Sl.oOO can- opies over the doorways. Most floors got new furniture and mattresses; the girls' bathrooms are now equipped with makeup mirrors and stools; new carpeting covers the hallways; and three-fourths of the building was repainted, including the blinds. The key card security system, pro- vided by Detex Multi-Door Systems, is one of the most obvious additions to the residence hall. It comes com- plete with a “prop alarm,’’ which sounds when the doors are held open for more than one minute, and a printer that records who was denied access to which floor. Another benefit of the program, according to Merricks, is the extra attention residents receive from the resident advisors. Two R.A.’s per floor reduce the average 10:1 ratio of student to R.A. to 20:1. Merricks says that the Shorter R.A. is expec- ted to be a friend to each resident and lead him or her through their first year in college. This seems to be happening on the women’s floors es- pecially, he says. ‘‘They’re neat, says Felecia Williams of the R.A.’s on fourth. “I can talk to them about anything I want to. Merricks says he is hoping that the closer interaction with R.A.’s will change the student’s attitudes about the position of resident advisor. “I think this will he the year that the resident advisor image turns around from the disciplinarian,' he says. “I predict that half of our male R. A. applicants will come out of Shorter next year.” After two years, Residence Life will review the effectiveness of S. H.A.R.E. and determine whether tin program would work in other dorms. Merricks says he would like to allot a fourth of the space in Shor- ter and allow students to apply to stay there after their freshman year. “We’re real excited about it. says Merricks.

The highlight of the event was the awarding of the “Official Mercer Spirit Car”. Pam Joncss, a sophomore, won the 1988 Hyundai after having entered the contest 53 times. Her name, along with those of nine other students, was drawn from the car, hut it was she who received the “lucky key. The event also included a |ier- formance by the cheerleaders and an introduction of the 1988- 89 athletic teams.

Pep Rally 5 Check It Out! onstrwtlon of the New Library for Mercer University is a! fl I m(,st complete this year. After the official ground-breaking m I ceremony in October of I'JHT. work ha continued cloudily arid bus be n kept on schedule. It is expected that a move into the new building will lx- possible in June of 1 l Kt . allowing it .o be open for summer school, but the official dedication ceremony is planned for October of 11 81«. The $7t million project which includes the removal and rebuilding of the tennis courts was financed by a bond issue. Plans for the new library Ix-guri near the end of 198-1 when a study committee, whose original goals were to upgrade the existing library decided that their hopes wen futile. Consultants came in the spring of 1985 and met with the committee to find out exactly what was desired of the facility. With the input from several sources, the building was designed so that it would lx “moresuitable for serving people and less of a book warehouse.” The new building which has three levels consists of 1 4,875 square feet. The mum entrance is on the second level which houses the refer enee collection and indexes, reference assistance, circulation services, and the current periodical and government documenta collections. A photocopy area, the computer lab. and other study and seminar rooms are also on this level. The first level has a new Z4 hour study room, a listening room, the Itouml periodical collection, the technical services unit, the microfilm collection, and several carrels and study rooms. Finally, on the third level can be found the special collection , the circulating book collection, and even more carrels and study rooms. Also, one special feature is the INNOVACQINNOPAC Integrated Li- brary Automation System, which automates the ordering, receiving, cataloging, and circulation of materials The total shelf capacity is approximately 500,000 volumes, and the total seating capacity is npp roxiinalely 750. After the old library has been vacated, the Stetson School of Busi- ness will later lx- moved to the second floor of the building The first floor will house other offices, hut a decision of which ones hasn’t lx en answered.

(§ ver 100 students voluntee- red to work at the annual alumni phon-u-thon this year. For four nights each week from October 10 until Nov- ember 3, these students took a few hours out of their schedules in order to call the alumni of the university. Two important goals are achieved by the phon-a-thon. First, it serves as a means of personal contact with the alumni, and second, it gives the alumni the opportunity to contri- bute the the Annual Fund which covers the remaining 35% of actual expenses not met by tuition charges. Besides the two important func- tions that it serves for the uni- versity, the phon-a-thon also prov- ides a unique way for the students who volunteer to work to learn more about the university and its past. As one student who worked said. “You get to find out a lot of neat things about what Mercer used to be like, especially when you talk to someone who graduated in 1928!” The phon-a-thon is conducted each year about the same time, and it is open to all students who wish to par- ticipate. Anyone interested in work- ing should contact someone in the University Relations office, third floor of the Administration Build- ing.

In coo| eration with ten other colleges and universities, Mercer offers classes at the Center for Cross-cultural Studies in Seville. Seville, often referred to as the Golden City, is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. It holds special significance for American students since it was head- quarters for the exploration of the new world. Even today, all of the documents pertaining to Christopher Columbus’s voyages are housed in the archives in Seville. Students with a variety of academic in- terests attend the center. Pre-Law, Socio- logy, Business, Education, Art.and Span- ish are just a few of the areas that are re- presented. While in Seville, the students not only benefit from the formal education that they recieve hut also from the great cul- tural experience that they enjoy. They live in a Spanish home for the entire semester, and they periodically take field trips and tours of other Spanish cities and countrysides. This gives them a true pic- ture of the country and of the language, both of which they appreciate even more upon returning. A student group receives a t ur in Sev- ille.

The cen- ter was built becuuse the old courts had to be destroyed in order to allow construction of the new library. Mr. Pcddy is a successful restaurateur and en- trepreneur in Maryland, and he is a partner in several husinessses and real estate developments. He is also ac- tive in civic and community affairs, including service as a director of the Maryland Stale Fair and the Rotary Club. A native of WrightsviHe, Georgia, Mr. Pcddy gradu- ated from Mercer in 1928. Through the years he has been an enthusiastic supporter of the College of Liberal Arts and the athletic program at Mercer. It is because of his never-ending love for our school that we de- dicate this tennis cen- ter to him! About three years ago. an SGA committee thought that it would be a good idea to give the student center a facelift, and since that time each SGA has worked on getting the project finalized. Finally, during this past summer the renovations were made, ex- cepting those that bad been done to the caf- eteria during Christmas break last year. The project which amounted to a total cost of §185.000 had a basic goal of providing more space for socialization and study. As I)r. J. Barry Jenkins put it. “We wanted a place where students would feel they could just hang out.” Some details of the renovations include an expanded game room, an enhanced TV lounge to meet the needs of commuter students, new patio furniture, and more pleasant meeting rooms. In these, as with all of the improvements, the use of blue and gray was encouraged since these are now the university colors. Because of demand, the game room was improved and expan- ded to include not only these |mjo1 tables but also some table tennis space. The new colors and furnishings really enhance the offices up- stairs. 14 Student Center Renovations The co-op now provides Virginia Turner.

All campus organizations were encouraged to participate in the fair, and they were asked to incorporate hearts and love into the theme of their booths since Valentine’s Day had passed only two days be- fore. The event was high- lighted by a “dating game” which showed how much some couples truly knew about each other. The Peer Advocates are to be commended. 170 Heartland Fair Heartland Fair 171 FIGARO and FRIENDS Mercer’s Opera Workshop.

III ’ ? NEWS IN TOWN GOOD, TOO! —'W Mfoi Cm Mb’ C4M « l «« MACON CONGRATULATIONS SENIORS! The Mercer Cauldron Staff _______________s Advertisements 195 V A Letter From The Editor I made a commitment to produce or, at least, to direct the producing of this boon hack in the Spring of 1! H8 when I was offered the position ot editor. I knew that it would be a demanding task, but I had plenty of hopes and dreams of how to get it done. I was amazed at how many students wanted to be a part of the staff in the beginning; but. later, I was amazed at how many were unable to fulfill their duties as a staff member. Also, 1 saw things running smoothly at first until problem after problem found its way to me When something was stalled or when something was left undone, I was the one who had to “take up the slack, and when deadlines came near. I was the one who had to fret because of the commitment 1 hail made earlier. 1 sometimes wondered if I had done the right thing in tak- ing this job. However, I guess it’s obvious to you that things finally worked out since you have the book in your hands now. Well, the fact is that they did work out, but I’m not the one who deserves the credit. You see no matter what it is that we must do — take an awful class, perform in front of thousands, or labor to meet a deadline — we have someone else who will comfort us and guide us through it.That someone is God, and it is He who worked through me to ensure that this hook was published. This should be an example to us to never forget that 1 can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. - Philippians 4:13. An enormous THANK-YOU goes out to each staff member who contributed, to our advisor, and to the others who volunteered time and or information, but most of all, thank-you Lord. 196 Editor's Page I
