We often wonder why we do it. We sit in a big yellow room with no windows, an old beat-up refrigerator (usually containing only photo supplies), a phone that is always ringing, boxes of old yearbooks, too many chairs, and an eerie curse. There was a deadline yesterday. No kidding? Uh-oh. Preparing a school year for print while going to school is no small feat. We also put together events like The Miss Yamacraw Contest in November, and projects like Final Exam Survival Kits. A lot happens in this funny yellow room. We don ' t do it for the money. We don ' t do it to take advantage of the modern facilities. We don ' t do it for academic credit. Maybe we do it for the contribution we make to the Oglethorpe community and the opportunity to expand our horizons in journalism. Nope. At least we do get along with each other and keep our senses of humor ... on good days. 27

FRONT ROW: Ann Montanaro, Nancy Bur- nett. Donna Rothstein, Gina Sacer, Susan Kokat, MIDDLE ROW: Kevin Kincheloe, Mary People start getting familiar with school newspapers way back in the elementary grades. College papers are, at least hopefully, only their last and most sophisticated example. The STORMY PETREL, which has been going to the presses steadily for generations now, stands as Oglethorpe ' s contribution to the field of scholastic journalism. Thirteen times a year — roughly once Ann Murphy. Nicki Brown, Tricia Smith, Mau- reen Murphy. Debbie Morgan, Emma Lee Booker. Valerie Hall, David Tucker, BACK ROW: John Wilson, Phil Trahan, Tim Bates, Gerald Kemp every two weeks — it provides curious students with the full available story on every important — and occasionally not so important campus news event, with profiles on people and organizations they may have overlooked or simply need to know about, and with information and views about sports. Perhaps even more importantly, it provides a chance for students to express themselves and channel their creativity through editorials, through the letters section, through photography or layout, or through writing and reporting. The staff of the PETREL is large and tends to fluctuate constantly, perhaps because word is out that everyone is welcome in their office downstairs in the Student Center. Just bring a pen! 29
