' • f ' ■ ' ' B B-10 1981 THE YAMACRAW ) T( M Jo Ki Ri Le Stormy Petrel: Still Moving Ahead I Voted Most Improved by the Georgia Press Associat ion in 1980, the STORMY PETREL continued to move forward this year. Under the leadership of editor Elaine Minor, the staff put together thirteen bi-weekly issues, offering students the chance to communicate their ideas on a large scale. For staff members, work with the PETREL was an opportunity to improve their writing and other related skills, while dealing with the reality of deadlines. In turn, the PETREL also offered its readers concise, accurate accounts of campus events, sports coverage, and submissions from various campus organizations. Also among its regular features were movie and concert reviews for the students ' dis- criminating tastes, and the thought- provoking Pro and Con debates of Editorial Editor Tricia Smith and colum- nist Tim Tassopoulos. The STORMY PETREL is one of the most vital and powerful tools of the Oglethorpe students as the only consistent source of current campus-wide informa- tion, and as a means of communication for the entire Oglethorpe Community.

THE YAMACRAW 1981 B-9 •I What Can Be Said? Paul Gandolfo Jeff Shelton John Crowe It ' s easy for us to tell you about almost any group on campus except ourselves, especially after such a year as the YAMACRAW has had. Through it all, the book is out. We did it . . . but who is we ? Every editor has said that putting out a yearbook is difficult, tedious work. It interferes with your school work. It interferes with your life. At Oglethorpe, other factors have made the job even more demanding and less rewarding. This year, all those problems were demonstrated. Now it is time to begin again. We didn ' t end up with the book we started with, nor did we end up with the staff we started with. Some people have worked hard, only to see their work redone because of the mid-year change of command. No two people ever do one job the same way. If apologies are in order, I apologize. I am grateful to those who understand. I couldn ' t give out any assistant editorship titles, but Paul Gandolfo took the responsibilities of a 2 in command. Nothing would have been the same without his organization, common sense and threatening letters. Pete Garland, in a similar capacity, was reliable and helpful on last minute emergency projects. Business Manager Donna Tucker, survivor of an ill-fated ad campaign, was faithful to the end for no good reason. The Miss Yamacraw Contest was created and organized single-handedly by Jeff Shelton without too much worrying from my corner. In the area of photography, much of the work in this book was done by Robert Wilds. Although he will deny it, he has extraordinary talent; his absence was severely felt this spring. Laura Anne Riley, Craig Reinheimer and Mallory Long are also primarily responsible for bringing you the year in pictures. We would have been lost without their reliably high quality work. Copy was especially important with our newspap er format, and many are those who contributed, but honorable mention goes to Kevin Kinch- eloe, David Tucker. John Crowe, Stepha- nie Staples and Rob Buck among others for extra initiative and valuable help. These are some of the people 1 have to thank for service above and beyond the call of duty, but everybody was fantastic. I couldn ' t have asked for a greater group to work with. They let me nag them for assignments, and they still came through for me . . . usually. They told me to go home, study, and get a good night ' s sleep when 1 needed it. They read my announcements and called me incompe- tent to keep me humble. They let me make mistakes. They were helpful at the last minute or late into the night. They were willing to learn and willing to teach me. They ' re my friends. 1 hope 1 can make the YAMACRAW, for them, worth coming back to next year. Who made the YAMACRAW possi- ble? I will let each person have his opinion. It has had two editors editing it. more than fifty people staffing it at one time or another, untold numbers doing it little favors now and again, and all of Oglethorpe being interviewed or photo- graphed twice or three times for it, worrying about it, pulling for it. and waiting too long for it. What can be said except -THANK YOU — ? Thanks go to the STOR.MY PE- TREL, the O.U. Players and Alpha Phi Omega: organizations from which I borrowed ideas and personnel, and got much support. .A.lso, .Marshall Nason. Katherine Amos. Bill Wolpin, Bud Payne and the guys in maintenance. .-Xdrina Richard, Chuck Wingo and everybody in the Bookstore were all especially respon- sive and helpful. Mr. Bill Wolfe of Walsworth Publish- ing Company answered many little questions, and kept us within our budget and on our toes. Dean John Thames and Mr. Robert Evans were our advisors. (Mr. Evans, 1 miss your financial aid office style: you were efficient and good with numbers.) Dean Thames deser es all our thanks just for letting us be a responsible college staff and make our own decisions. He organized the bills, showed interest, and was available with help and approval. . s for these three, again. I couldn ' t have asked for better. Y.AM.ACR.-XW lives. It ain ' t perfect, but it ' s in your hands. Enjov. -Ed.
