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.

B-12 1981 THE YAMACRAW Tower Staff Is An Inspiration During the 1980-1981 year, the Tower continued to give Oglethorpe a quality literary magazine each semester in addition to providing support for aspiring writers in the community. Regarding the activities the staff promotes in proportion to the size of the group, the Tower is one of the most productive organizations on campus. Most Oglethorpe students recognize the fact that the staff meets each semester to produce a special magazine consisting of creative contributions of their fellow students - a magazine that occasionally reveals a side of writers that nobody recognizes. Not as many people are aware of the careful selection process by which the entries are chosen, or of the thought and effort that goes into making the booklet smooth reading through the groupings of entries and layout. Even those who understand what turns a bundle of creative work into the Tower sometimes aren ' t aware of the other projects the staff launches. In October, for example, the Tower co-sponsored the second annual Night of the Arts. The special guest was Nancy Simpson Brant- ley, an award-winning North Carolina poet, who read some of her works. The Night of the Arts also displayed the talent of some locals. Mona Buck and Ivan Bilancio, Oglethorpe students, and Betsy Dzuro, an alumnus, read some of their own original works. Music was also featured during the evening, with Princell Dunbar and Ann Montanaro singing with the accompaniment of Professor Jim Bohart. Susan Bennett and Torsten Balsler played their own instruments and sang, and Dr. Fusillo contributed a few folk songs, tying up a successful presenta- tion. The Tower also had its contribution to the academic world with its Poetry Workshop. Gene Ellis of the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center attended the four-hour event, critiquing submitted works and then holding individual conferences during which he offered suggestions to help the participating poets to better express their ideas. The Tower, despite its typically small staffing, managed to make big plans and execute them this year. Award winning poet Nancy Simpson Brantley was the guest speaker at the Night of the Arts, October 24. The Tower Staff: STANDING: Jill Lesko, Kimberly Emerson, Lili Alboum (editor).
