Q B erte ' ?es t 9 • At Oglethorpe University, varying life$tyles add| to the overall versatility of the student body. The majority of the students attend college shortly after high school, but there are those, who for different -teasons, choose to wait. Ms. Cecilia Jenkins is one such student. CeeCee attended Oglethorpe in the ' 60 ' s and has returned to ' -oamplete her degree in Middle Grades Education. When asked about the changes she has noticed, she sfates, I am most aware of a change in the relation- ship between the faculty and the students. Our pro- fessors are not enthroned as monarchs of knowl- edge. They are supportive, encouraging, and sym- pathetic-beyond what should reasonably be expect- ed. — Othet returning students include Ms. Shari Booth and Ms. Hariet Powell. Many scheduling problems arise when one is a mother as well as a full- time student. Responsibilities and obligations in the home and on campus can be stressful. It is far from being an easy accomplishment to earn a college degree and care for a family at the same time. Changes within the family structure are necessary and compromises are common. But after all the extra effort put forth by these students and their families, it seems as if it will be a change for the better. — Eating an onion, having Limburger Cheese rubbed in your hair, and having shaving cream — battles were some of the things an O.U. Fresh- men endured during Rat Court Rituals. Cee Cee — (Raiford) Jenkins smiled throughout all of these trials and was chosen as the 1968 Rat Queen.

If m h i eS As one looks around the city of Atlanta and around Oglethorpe University, one can ' t help notic- ing the changes from all angles. J Change, a most important and necessary part of ! the continuance of our society, is exemplified in this microcosm of the rest of the ever-expanding world around us. The physical changes, structural changes, administrative changes, and Changes from deep within each individual are taken note of in this annual. New faces, as well as familiar faces, inter- mingle within the University and cofrtributefurther to its growth and change. Taking this theme of change down to its very core, we have incorporated a change in the Yama-- craw itself. A newer style, new techniques, a differ- ent design, and additional graphics have all been included. We have chosen the pyramid to symbolize the theme of the 1985-86 YamaCraw. The pyramid provides an infinite niirhbeir ' of viewing angles de- pending upon its rotational change. Because of this, we felt that this multi-angled, geometric figure -wobW ' teeffeetivdnTrc nvejfing the ideas-presented in conjunction with the theme. No reminders are really needed as to these changes taking place-injotw-llveSrM Oglethorpe and throughout society today. However, in years to come, when these changes have faded themselves into-oui-eve y layi-existence and JaecOme merely a part of contemporary society, this annual, (as all annuals do), will serve as a memorandum of the past, of how things used to be, and of how far we have progressed through these chariges froni all angles. — IhsifaniiUar angle looking up towards the side . clock as one approaches Liipton Hall . i- tiine fbr more change yet.- ' — From All Angles -UUi

Although not as much of a culture-shock as the U.S. citizens tend to believe, a change nonetheless is experienced. Mauricio Amaya, from El Salvador, explains that most for- eign countries today are heavily exposed to the American-way, U.S. television programs, (includ- ing the news), American-made movies, and consum- er products are sold world-wide and thus decrease the effects of culture-shock. The move to Ogle- thorpe seems to have been simply a change of place™.
