This to me is just a way of passing the buck and avoiding the responsibility of taking care of the students and their activi- ties. There is no way to stop someone from drinking, the best way to solve the problem is to work with the students in- stead of against them. —Mark Feiring, 21 The driving aspect is a cop- out. Most students do not drink at their home anyway and must drive to get alcohol when they are there.— C ? Hall, Office of the Registrar College should be different than living at home, but it seems like high school. However, the new drinking age makes the se- lection of guys better in bars since the majority will be over 21.— Laura Bedhgfield, 22 It you ' re under 21, there are no places to dance unless you want to dance with high school kids. — Terri Hrisak, 19 The issue is not on drinking, but on granting responsibility. — Dr. Nancy Kerr There should be a standard definition of adult by the United States. —Keith Nahh It ' s all about responsibility. I was in the Army and felt out- raged when I was given a weap- on to kill with and yet couldn ' t drink. It ' s ironic that they are aC ( t e (Mm. changing laws to save lives yet train 18 year-olds to kill. —Pa- tricia Hatch, 22 It is a hypocritical position for society to expect young adults to behave responsibly in other areas and not with alcohol. The issue is learning to drink wisely. There should be strong drinking and driving penalties. —Dr. Debra Woolley Statistics on fatal car acci- dents caused by drunk drivers speak for themselves. If young adults can ' t handle the responsi- bility involved when consuming alcohol, by all means the drink- ing age should keep going up. It ' s mainly to prevent teenagers from having access to alcohol. Raising the age keeps 18 year olds in high school from buying alcohol for 16 year-olds who cannot handle it. — Bonnie Boles, 20 If the state feels there is a drinking and driving problem (which there is), they should raise the age to acquire a drivers ' license not the age to drink, be- cause underage students will buy it somewhere, somehow. — Shelly Alford, 22 No time to explain; I ' m busy making a fake I.D. —Ron Vaughn, 20 The only way to curb drunk driving is through education and cooperation in programs like SADD. —Pat Capes, 21 WHAT ABOUT THE AGE AS IT AFFECTS SCHOOL POLICY? I understand O.U. ' s concerns and adherence to Georgia laws, but it should be allowed at func- tions and be served to those of age. — Karen Hewins, 19 If we can legally drink, O.U. should not be able to tell us where and when we can drink as long as it is not destructive or disruptive. — Christi Hendrix If we really wanted to enforce the law we would check rooms. But, the administration is not babysitting students. —Trudy Shumake, Oglethorpe Adminis- tration Those of age should have the right to consume alcohol at soc- cer games, weekend club, and parties. — Bonnie Bertoline, Og- lethorpe Administration There ' s reason for hope in other activities, especially The Bomb Shelter, which was a stu- dent initiated project. — Dr. Victoria Weiss ■Who wants to go to The Bomb Shelter and watch a mov- ie when they can go to the Draft House and watch a movie and have a beer.- ' — Michelle Puyne, 20 Oglethorpe ' s position is th.- students must assume a personac responsibility for their decisions related to the use of alcohol. University policies concerning alcoholic beverages are de- signed to promote a responsible use of alcohol, to establish spe- cific rules and guidelines for the appropriate use of alcohol on campus, and to stress the stan- dard of behavior expected of students at all times. It is disrup- tive or unruly behavior, injury to others, or damage to property (not the mere possession or use of alcoholic beverages) that will constitute a disciplinary offense. — Donald R. Moore, Dean of Community Life. f we can legally drink, O.U. f should not he able to tell us where and when to drink — as long as it is not destructive or dis- ruptive. — Christi Hendrix. 0 ti villi always have certain f y parameten within which we must live. Learning to live within such parameters, responsibly, is a part of the educational process; one which will contin - ue being after one leaves the university set- ting. —Leigh Anne Leist, Director of Housing. 7 he only way to curb drunk driving is through educa- tion and cooperation in programs like SADD— Students Against Drunk Driving. — Pat Captes 7 he policy seems good in the- ory, but in reality, no mat- ter what age people are, if they want alcohol they will find a way to get it. — Laura Trittin All aglow while Dr. Moffie sj his final few words.

Z %. 1 dent « e t t £ o t toKA When Dr. Robert Moffie did not receive tenure, almost the entire student body went into a state of shock. There was no doubt in most students ' minds that he would be teaching for many years. He was highly re- garded by students as a good psychology teacher, a reliable psychologist, and a dear friend. Dr. Moffie always seemed to be there for any student who needed help. I knew of many students that received free ses- sions from him, and I feel with- out him they may have suffered greatly, told Chris Erckert. Obviously, the administration felt that Dr. Moffie was not qualified for tenure — and they stood strong on their decision. Robert Strozier began a petition that was signed by well over 200 students and the Oglethorpe Student Association Senate sent a letter to the administration. Both were futile endeavors which were done to ask for a review of the decision. Ray Lu- cas, OSA president, and Stephen Schmidt, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees corresponded on this subject — ultimately lead- ing nowhere also. It seemed to be a hard fact for some students to accept and many editorials were written on the subject. As the academic year came to an end, and so did Dr. Moffie ' s last year at Ogle- thorpe, controversy died down — it was finally accepted (within the student body). Rath- er than harping on the subject, students began to look ahead; plans were made for a last fare- well in his honor. On the Friday before final ex- ams began, students gathered in a room in Hearst Hall for Dr. Moffie ' s last lecture. Students arrived up to 20 minutes early in order to get a good seat. As the room filled, anticipation and emotions grew rapidly. Peg O ' Neal ran into class and an- nounced that Dr. Moffie was on his way. A hush filled the room as he entered. Then, on a sudden impulse, everyone began ap- plauding. This show of respea lasted a complete 5 minutes, sturming Dr. Moffie to a mo- tionless state. As Dr. Moffie made his way to his leaurn, peo- ple hugged him, shook his hand, and some even began to cry. He was dumbfounded. He stood in front of the class speechless. Finally, with tears in his eyes, he began to speak, only to be interrupted by another wave of applause. Dr. Moffie continued on, speaking to the class with candor on the issue, filling students in on his plans for the future, and finally giving his official good-bye speech. His speech brought many peo- ple to tears. e was taken completely by sur- W prise, because he expected a class of under ten and was received by at least fifty people. — Lori Garner; jr.

These students and facul- ty donned their work clothes and spent a day painting both the interior and exterior of the home, and providing lawn main- tenance. CHARLEE, an acronym for Children Have All Rights— Le- gal, Educational, Emotional, was founded in 1980 to house troubled children whose only other option was institutionali- zation. There are four homes in the Atlanta area run by house parents who try to give the chil- dren an opportunity to live a normal childhood. Ann Cramer, president of the CHAR- LEE Homes, said, One of the greatest hopes of our project is to encourage volunteer partici- pation from community organi- zations, corporations, and other foundations. The leadership shown to us by the Oglethorpe students who participated is what we look for and want to encourage other student organi- zations to participate in. Oglethorpe ' s part began with a letter written in the Stormy Pe- trel. The letter asked any stu- dents interested in helping out to participate, as well as asking for each organization to repre- sent themselves at the day. O.U. representatives that participated in this project were Bonnie Boles, Tim Bracy, Debi Car- done, Marty Eastlack, Michelle Fleming, Andy Geeter, Liz Hames, Leah Hughes, Tom Johnson, Kathy King, Joe Mas- don, Marshal Nason, Jennifer O ' Brien, Doris Rojas, Barbara Shadomy, and Johnny White. Because some of the students were in more than one club, the organizations they represented were many. The groups repre- sented most by volunteers were Tri Sigma-— five, Rotaract—iive, and Oglethorpe Christian Fellow- ship— {out. Circle K, SAWBS, Alpha Phi Omega and Chi Phi were also fully represented. Some students spent the en- tire day from 9 am till 4:30 in the afternoon at the house, complet- ing the project successfully. It was a unique experience, and I feel that more projects should be planned that involve students from the different aspects of the Oglethorpe community. Not only does it show the local com- munity that Oglethorpe stu- dents care about their surround- ings, but it also helped create bonds of friendship to people who may have never met had the circumstances been different. — Kathleen Ganey.

Students also spent their time at English Club Meetings at Dr. Robert Fusilio ' s home, play tehearsal with Mr. Lane Anderson, OSA meetings with Marshall Nason, working off- campus, or engaging in intramural sports. Not to mention Sorority and Fraternity meet- ings and events. Close bonds of friendship were formed through these various social ac- tivities. Friends often went out en mass to places such as Vat Tuesdays, P.J. Haleys, and Houli- hans. This, however, became a thing of the past and the rage of the present. No longer were they able to mix, mingle, dance and drink at these establishments. They became off limits to those under 21 years old — which included the majority of students on campus. Students, however, did not spend their ener- gies fretting over the new law, but rather, set their sights on a unique club; thus, the birth of the Bomb Shelter-— which became the talk of the town. tccdent £c cUoic co4 Cheers!

By plane, boat, car, roller skates, foot and thumb they went, using what- ever means necessary to escape the pressures of collegiate living. For some, it was a break for rest and relaxation; these people went home to enjoy the comfort of fa- miliar surroundings. Although not as glamourous as some of the other Spring Break frequents, the reasons were various as to why some went home. Freshman Brent Evitt told, I went home to Tennessee to work. It wasn ' t foo exciting, but I made ex- tra money and went ahead in my studies. Kevin Walmsley, another Freshman, went home. I couldn ' t afford to go anywhere else. Yawn- ing, he added, It was so boring. The most excitement I had was res- cuing my uncle ' s dog from being mauled by an alligator. For others, Spring Break was a quest — an endless journey for tanned and bikini-clad bodies, sun- drenched beaches and a whole lot of partying. Students such as An- thony Antar, Frank Beaty, Harry Frazier, Dave Turner, and Harris Targovnik joined thousands of oth- er elite college students who made their pilgrimage to Ft. Lauderdale. We heard it was the place to be, so we decided to check it out. For most, however, the novelty of the massive partying wore off after two days. As sophomore Tom James put it, Ft. Lauderdale at Spring Break is too crowded and too dis- orderly. Besides that, the sand is ugly. Finally, for others, Spring Break was cultural, yet fun learning exper- ience. Seniors Shelly Alford, Anne Marie Messer-Schmidt, Amy Young, Jackie Liberman, Rina Sil- verman, Michelle Gazes, and Geor- gie Krause decided to deviate from the normal Spring Break vacation spot and go to the Bahamas: We were fed up with the collegiate meatmarket scene, plus we love is- land music and beaches. These Bahama Mamas roughed it for six days, living in bungalows in a tiny village with no television or radio. Who said O.U. students are spoiled? At last Spring Break was over, and dorm by dorm, the campus filled with students— some relaxed and some ranted— eager to tell sto- ries of their vacation escapades. A good time was had by all and it was once again time to get back to the studies. But a question still lingered in the back of every students mind— How long until summer va- cation.

Z deacA d !uA On a Saturday morning in Traer, the beginnings of a rum- ble could just be heard. From its space in front of the third floor lounge, the large stereo system let out a crackling, monotonous hum. Then, within seconds. The Bangles ' Manic Monday was heard riveting through the quad. Gradually, girls were begin- ning to emerge from their rooms. Others stood in door- ways peeping out. Still others were already laying out in the sun. The day began with just the girls, competing against each other in fun and games. Before long, Kathleen Ganey, former housing director, announced the beginning of the contests. Residents of all three floors of Traer Hall and the residents of Goodman Hall competed against one another. At the out- set, the third floor girls emerged as first in the scavenger hunt. There were water ballooning contests, too. In the end, the sec- ond floor girls were the overall winners, with the third floor coming in a close second, the first floor was third, and Good- man was fourth. By one o ' clock the quad was filled with girls running around in jams with Hawaiian leis around their necks. And very soon a fter, the crowds of men began to pour in. By now, that beginning rumble had built into a roar, nearly drowning out the music. In this second phase of the Beach Bash, refreshments were brought out. They consisted of a tub of shrimp, a keg of beer, and a table full of sliced pineap- ples. Students milled around downstairs, where virgin Daiqui- ris were being mixed in the kitchen. Another round of games en- sued and this time, both sexes participated. These were spoon races and tug-o-wars. Teresa Barnhill, who participated in several of the races, smilingly commented on the zany antics of her partner, Bruce Grain: He kept cheating ... I mean in the box races, he was running and he actually pulled the box all the way up and peeked out! Soon, the afternoon waned into evening and students sat down to eat grilled hamburgers and hot dogs while listening to the sounds of the band. Not Only But Also, and their, as Heidi Dawson put it. Garfunk- ley music. At the close of the evening students trickled selectively from the quad. A low hum was all that was left of the roar, as the echo of human voices quiet- ed to a whisper.

The attitudes of all present were varied. Can it be over already? mourned one senior. Thank God it finally arrived! thought another in relief. Each individual possessed their own story of trials, failures, and SUCCESS and ACCOMPLISHMENT Thus began the U4th Conr mencement at Oglethorpe. D Manning Patillos ' s welcome pre- ceded the invocation and scriptur- ereading by Dr. Lavon Tally, which was followed with a musical inter- lude by the Atlanta Chamber Play- ers. The excitement increased with the bestowing of honors and awards. Ronda C. Davis received the Sally Hull Weltner Award for Scholarship and John Thomas Payne matched their achievement by receiving the Faculty award for Scholarship. The prized James Ed- ward Oglethorpe awards presented to the man and woman who best epitomized the Oglethorpe educa- tion — were deservingly bestowed upon Diane Marie Dubay and Lew- is Casey Chosewood. A third award newly instituted at the com- mencement of 1986 was the Phi Beta Kappa Award. Leah Guyn- elle Brown was chosen as the graduating senior who best exem- plified the criteria of Phi Beta Kappa with a traditional major and superior scholastic achievement. Lastly, the President ' s leadership Prize was presented to Raymond Harris Lucas for exhibiting a high caliber of leadership in a number of campus organizations. The president of the class of 1986, Douglas Scott Schmitt, added levity to the formal occassion. He announced the senior gift— barbe- que grills for both men and wom- en ' s dorms, then jokingly referred to the newly renovated Schmidt Hall as being named in his honor. Actually, the men ' s dormitory was renamed in honor of Stephen John Schmidt, an alumnus of 1940. Mr, Schmidt and the commencement speaker, John Brooks Fuqua, were awarded honorary degrees called Doctor of Laws. As a successful leader of industry and politics, Mr. Fuqua focused his address on the basics of leader- ship. He stressed setting goals, act- ing like a leader, and striving to be uncommon in a common world. Entrepeneur and sportsman, Ted Turner, was present for his daugh- ter Laura ' s graduation, and served as a real-life embodiment of Mr. Fuqua ' s remarks. At last the conferring of degrees arrived. One hundred twenty-four Oglethorpians received Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Business Administration, and Master of Arts degrees. Honor graduates received deserved ap- plause, while the always forbidden but inevitable cat calls and clapping conveyed the pride of others ' par- ents and friends. And a benediction by Dr. Ken Nishimura brought the ceremony to its conclusion. f4 f% MuUco The Gratification of Graduation. Chums.

A few times a year Epicure sponsors special theme meals — Barry Carswell, Joe Helwig and Steve Cum- bee enjoy their meal in the beautiful autumn weather. Fortunately, as most students may have been accustomed to at home, this art of consumption did not require formal dtess — even the most casual attire was completely acceptable. Yet somehow things were different than the homelife kitchen. For at the cafeteria, it was necessary to wait in line! (No more grabbing at edibles in cabinets, pan- tries and refrigerators.) However, students were nonetheless offered the opportunity to serve themselves during the outdoor cookouts, at the salad bar, and the drinking foun- tains. After the task of obtaining food was achieved, eating became a social event as students flocked to- gether with friends and acquaint- ances to display their good manners learned at home — remembering never to speak with a mouth full of food! After all, whatever would the 200 other consumers think of a co-student who had not yet mas- tered the basics of the art of eating. ' Although such basics may be ac- quired elsewhere, college not only taught students the academic disci- plines, it training those restricted to campus-consumption to discipline the stomache to become hungry only during mealtimes; 7:15-9:15 am, 11:15-1 pm and 5-6:30 pm daily.

Televi- sion was a good contender for first place on a student ' s list of spare- time activities during the day and night. During the day, active stu- dents opted for tennis or basketball while others worked out in The Pit or ran the track. Reading was a favorite activity for many as long as textbooks were not included. Swimming, limited to early fall, late spring, and summer, was always popular on a sunny day. Nighttime activities often ranged from dorm-room TV watching to Bomb Shelter TV watching with many students. Cu- pid hit O.U. and made romantic walks on campus common for moonlight couples such as Adri- enne Marcotte and Willie Williams as well as Tom James and Jill Helm- bold. There were no more lonely hours for those sneaky students obtaining a pet to share in their semester! Of the more infamous pets on campus were Patches, the Chi Omega House cat and unofficial mascot who became an instant friend to students, faculty and visitors at the house; Beloise, a once-resident of Alumni, became famous as the larg- est rabbit anyone has ever seen. In fact, rumor has it that she was registered as a dog in order to fly on one of the airlines. Cyndi, a short- time Jacobs resident, was a small, but adorable puppy which ended up with a permanent home in At- lanta via student, Teri Wall. A glimpse into the past.

It was Fall 1986— the begin- ning of a new school semester..and an outlet to a bright future. The first few weeks of school were filled with good times with old friends, mingling with new friends at the Welcome Back Dance, and a hectic orientation schedule for the freshman. The freshman attended the annu- al get-together at President Pattil- lo ' s home. Here, the freshmen and their parents met Dr. and Mrs. Pat- tillo and were introduced to other administrators, as well as other freshmen. The freshmen also at- tended speeches given by the O.S.A. members and club presi- dents. Following the speeches, they were invited to sign up for the wide variety of clubs and organizations on campus at the club fair in the Emerson Student Center. Some of the groups who were there included the Oglethorpe Players, Circle K. Rotaract, the Oglethorpe Christian Fellowship and the International Club. Between moving into the dorms, registering for classes, get- ting acquainted and reacquainted with roommates, and buying books, the students found time to do Hot-lanta. c i « ee4 23 Back to School As one of the few faculty and staff mem- bets to get his picture taken.

Some students discovered Stone Mountain and enjoyed the final la- ser show of the year on Labor Day, a grand finale of laser lights, and fireworks on display with a variety of popular songs being played in the background. The realization that this was actually school hit students in the second week of classes, when stu- dents were handed assignments and realized that they were already be- hind. Some students took this dis- covery in stride and made a trip to Lowry Hall to delve into their stud- ies. For the freshmen, a trip to Lowry Hall meant taking the re- quired tour of the library with their Freshman Seminar class. Sorority and Fraternity Rush was the beginning as well, and many students were juggling rush parties and functions with school work. But, a good time was had by most who participated in rush. The stu- dents involved were treated to re- freshments in a casual and fun at- mosphere. Today, some of these rushees are now proud brothers and sisters of the fraternities and sorori- ties on campus. Thus, with all of these activities going on, the first few weeks of school flew by and it was not long before students began calling home and asking that ever popular ques- tion, Can you send me more mon- ey.? Well, college life had started, and for most of the students, it meant looking forward to a year of new experiences and challenges.

Festivities began early over in Traer with the advent of the annual Trick-or-Treat in Traer. The event was sponsored by Rotor- act and succeeded in giving neighborhood children a safer and friendly place to go trick-or-treating. Preparations for the event began in early afternoon. And the spark of excitement could be seen thtoughout the entire quad. The doors were already decorated to give the kids the full effect of Halloween while contestants waited outside doors to be judged. Eager participants stood and sat out- side, bags of candy in hand, waiting for the trick-or-treaters. And in one corner of the quad, the strains of Margaritaville could be heard, as a group of girls and guys passed the time singing songs. Later on, the doors were judged, and Mary Jane Turner and Beth Eckerd were the winners. Soon after, children began to pour into the quad dressed from dragons to Don Johnson. Kroger and the Oglethorpe Stu- dent Association supplied over 250 dollars worth of candy. Eleven- Alive news was there i tape the And very long before candy bags were emptied. The trick- or-treaters piled into the middle of the quad and ran around trying to catch pieces of falling candy being thrown down from a number of people on the upper floors. As the daytime activities lulled to a close, the nightime activities were just beginning. Chi Omega and Sigma Alpha Epsilon took to the streets of a nearby neighborhood to patrol the area for neighborhood kids. At 8:00 p.m. in Lupton Auditorium, the Ogleth- orpe Players put on their second consecutive presentation of Elephant Man. The Chi Phi Halloween party held at 9:00 that night, brought a climatical end to Friday ' s excite- ment. The next night OSA and Delta Sigma Phi held their annual Halloween Costume Party. Several students showed up, donned in costumes and ready to party. And they did just that; they partied and halfway through, all the contestants dressed in their costumes lined up on stage to be judged. Sherry Sing emerged as the winner; thus, the thrilling Halloween weekend had come to a close. 26 4a Mfee Honorable Mention went to Junior, Missy Sauer, and, Senior, Misty Reid ' s door.

Ten Oglethorpe ladies were given their time in the lime- light. In this annual competition, the women were judged on their academic fitness, poise, appearance and talent. Prior to the Big Night, the contestants were extensively in- terviewed by the pageant ' s judges. Some of the questions asked in- cluded What do you like most and least about yourself? and What one thing would you change to im- prove Oglethorpe University?

When the judges returned, the winners were announced and handed roses. Third runner-up, sponsored by OCF, was Penni Reid; second runner-up, sponsored by Psi Chi, was Elizabeth Bridgers; first runner-up, sponsored by SAE, was Natasha Driskell, and as tears were shed, Anne Marie Bowen— spon- sored by Tri Sigma — was crowned Miss Yamacraw 1986.

Rusty Mabrey and Jennifer Per- ry, 1986 ' s Lord and Lady Ogle- thorpe, could be seen gallavanting around Atlanta in his silver Samuri. They were proof that high school sweethearts could make it through college life together. Natasha Dris- kell and Frank Beaty were seen playing tennis on warm Saturday afternoons. Cathy Huthnance and Keith Nabb never missed a Chi Phi party as Cathy proudly displayed her sparkling ring. Wendy McKel- vey and Joe DelRoicni found that living in the same state gave them the opportunity to do things to- gether other than studying. This past summer they vacationed in New Jersey and spent spring break in New Orleans.

As the couples anxiously awaited the announcement of the three finalists, the crowd began to show their enthusiasm for the group. When the announcement started, the crowd went silent, The top three couples are Fred DeLoach and Karyn Ivy, Kevin Southern and Heidi Dawson and Keith Nabb and Cathy Huthnance! The crowd went wild and proceeded to boo as it was announced that the winners, Lord and Lady, would be an- nounced at ten o ' clock at the dance. Chi Omega sponsored the Homecoming dance along with the O.S.A. As the band, The Soul Heirs, prepared to play, Johnny White an- nounced the couples.

The Last Supper Thursday night of finals week saw the campus inundated with puffy-eyed students roaming the campus, exhausted from many sleepless nights, some heading home, others preparing for their last final — (Friday at nine a.m.), and still others were partying the night away, celebrating the end of an- other semester, or as with the fresh- men, their first at college. Friday morning, the last official day of the semester saw .students heading for their final exam. After the exam, students flocked to the cafeteria to eat lunch — the last meal offered by Epicure for the semester. Contrasting with the usual routine of students rushing into the crowd- ed cafeteria, the remaining students entered an almost empty room, sat down relieved that the week had finally come to an end, and talked to their friends about their future holiday plans. For many students, this meal was the last time they would be with their friends until the Spring semes- ter began, and for others it was the end of the college career. eV a i 4 ccfi fre When do they do it? What do they do? Where is The Place for Study? While a number of students were often seen with books spread across the grassy terrain of campus study- ing during the afternoon hours, most head for the shelter of build- ings in order to escape the darkness of night and the cold temperatures of the winter months, dwelling in thought over previous lecture mate- rial or reading through new assign- ments. Study habits varied with in- dividual personalities: some chose the more social atmosphere of the bookstore lounge and the Student Center; others opted for the quiet environment of the library or the privacy offered by dorm rooms The art studio of Faith Hall and the science labs in Goslin provided the necessary equipment for students studying in those respective areas. As afternoon studiers caught up on sleep in the evening, the all- nighters could be found awake into the wee hours of morning. Al- though the ultimate goal of apply- ing their minds to learning in pur- suit of academic achievement remained constant, the time and place for study solely relied on indi- vidual preference.

Add a dash of punk, a dash of prep, and a dash of chic and voila the recipe for the student body is prepared. Students flocked to school from such for- eign cities as Niceville, Florida; Austell, Georgia; and Wantawgh, New York. While in the Big City of Atlanta, there were such diverse delights as The Lime- light, The High Museum, and The Varsity. But, students didn ' t spend all of their spare time out and about town— a vast majority of their time was spent engrossed in Economics, Calculus III, or English Composition. They were diligent ur- chins , as Dr. Bruce Hetherington would say. The diversity also emerged within the faculty and staff population. There were Discussing the Senior Award Night results, Larry Frank, Bill Clifton, and Elizabeth Brown congratu- late Lynn Perry for receiving The Sidney Lanier Poet- ry Award.

Over the Summer there were such events as Dr. Nancy Kerr ' s experiment which was funded by the University, partly. It entailed the image patterns in the brain— comparing the sighted and the blind. The opening of the Georgia Shakespeare Festival, and its con- nections with the University — Lane An- derson, Victoria Weiss, and Jeff Portnoy, brought much attention to the campus. But, most likely the biggest event throughout the year was the birth of Alli- son Neujahr, the daughter of Dr. Philip Neujahr and Dr. Victoria Weiss.— she was undoubtedly the talk of the town. The intellectual aspect of the student body has risen sharply. I find that my classes are increasingly pleasurable and that there is more of an intellectual exchange during class.— Dr. Ken Nishamura, Pro- fessor of Philosophy. Study Break.

The advantages of attending a university in the United States are terrific, told Mauricio. I am considering ig to graduate school a year or two after graduating from Oglethorpe. Then I would like to go back to El Salvador to live. He had not yet decided what he was going to do with his Chemistry major, but felt confident about being able to put in his home country. It might have looked like a maxi- mum-security campus as students drove through the front gate of the University, until they noticed that wel- coming smile— the smile of Mauricio Amaya. Being a regular inhabitant of the guardhouse during the endless nights and throughout the long weekends, Mauricio worked as a part-time em- ployee of the University to help pay for his tuition. Born in San Salvador, El Salvador, he had never been to the United States prior to his arrival in At- lanta, where he enrolled in Oglethorpe and decided to major in Chemistry. Mauricio, probably the most well- known off-campus student, spent nearly all of his time on campus, par- ticipating in clubs and activities, study- ing for exams, and working at the guardhouse. College is much more than just classes. Mauricio proved his point and showed his enthusiasm by participating in various organizations. As well as becoming a brother of Delta Sigma Phi, Mauricio helped build the International Club to the active and well respected position the organiza- tion has had on campus during his four years. He participated in the founding of the Rotaract Club, was Junior Class President and volunteered to be an am- bassador for UNICEF. His great achievements have not gone unrewarded: he was chosen to be in Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities, and in Sigma Zeta, the science honorary society. Mauricio Amaya has contributed many things to Oglethorpe— his most important contribution: himself. His dedication was unsurpassed by anyone in his class. e mten - anncdo 55 Michelle Gazes Wantagh.

With a smile on her face when seen everyplace, Penni had Real Appeal Senior year is a time for students to looi back, recollect and reflect. For some the look back is mixed, blending the happy and unhappy, the good and the bad. From the student body, emerged one who took these mixed memories and blended them into a sto- ry of love and true beauty, Penni Reid. Tall with brown hair and dimples, she was most famous for the smile that was almost always on her face. The kindness Penni didn ' t give away in a smile, she saved and spent else- where, like in her extra-curricular com- mitments. And she had had many. Through college she was involved in many clubs and organizations, and had countless achievements. In four years she was president of the English Club, Sigma Tau Delta, and Oglethorpe Christian Fellowship. She was a mem- ber of Omicron Delta Kappa, Execu- tive Round Table and the yearbook staff In her junior year she was an RA. Penni was perhaps best known for her dedication to OCF. She was secre- tary for three years and founded the Oglethorpe Christian Newsletter, The Beacon. Some of Penni ' s favorite past times were playing the piano, listening to contemporary Christian music and going to church. Finding Jesus Christ has been the most fuUfiUing experience of my life, says Penni, immediately trading her smile for a serious look. I was intro- duced to Jesus in my adolescence by a group of Christians, they accepted me for who I was, and being an adolescent that was very important to me at that time.

It was much more. Since that time, my relationship with God has flourished. And what ' s more, I ' ve learned how to love and accept everyone, no matter how they think or who they are. I ' ve learned the message of Jesus Christ: to minister to people through love, rather than argue with them in conflicts. Penni said she learned how to han- dle anxiety, organize her priorities, and realize that grades are not as important as true friends. Penni felt that her major in English and minor in Psychology will help her to live life in the real world ... by giving her a kind of authority in com- municating the verbal, written and un- spoken word. Her command of the written word has led several of her works to be given certain honors, like publications in the Tower. Penni said she would like to be re- membered as someone who made people happier, who brought joy to the community, who tried to pass on love, who had an incredible value as an indi- vidual, and who tried to make every- one feel good about who they are! 1 Aado-mif-tatcuu 63 Li Maureen Whalen Catherine Tina Whit Katheryn Sunny Whit Sharen Wilcox Hempstead.

His stay in traction came from a series of accidents throughout his life (all 32 years of it) including a bike accident yielding a broken sternum. He was diagnosed as having a herni- ated disk. To rectify his situation he finally had a lumbar micro-discectomy in mid Octo- ber, the same operation that put Joe Montana of the San Francisco 49ers on his back— so to speak. Although born and raised in New Jersey, Dr. Hetherington graduated from The James Madison University in Virginia and received his Ph.D. from Virginia Tech. During the summer between his junior and senior years he met his soon-to-be wife. They met in July, were engaged in August and married in March of 1976. They have two wee urchins lovingly named Young Huck , and Geof- frey. Most everyone who knew Dr. Hethering- ton realized that he was an avid baseball fan— GO METS! His best characteristics are his easy-going personality and his love of being with people. He spent his weekends fixing things around the house and playing with his boys. He had a provocative philosophy of life, Everyone, I think, once a day should listen to Led Zepplin cranked at least to ten — and if it would go higher that would be quite excellent! To graduating seniors. Dr. Heth- erington would like to give this ad- vice — You can have anything you want if you really want to work for it. Almost noth- ing is unattainable. Don ' t be discouragd, hang in there, nobody ever said it was going to be easy. Don ' t ever think you can ' t do something because you ' re not good enough. It ' s better to have tried and failed than to not have tried and wondered. The Yamacraw staff on behalf on the entire student body would like to congratulate Dr. Hetherington on his tenure which was granted this year.

Some even enjoyed it. After all . . . Some Like It Hot The Summer of 1986 was the hottest in recent memory and not just because of the high temperatures and scarce rainfall. Class- work may have occupied the minds of stu- dents during the week, but the weekends were their own to party. SAE, Psi Chi, Tri Sigma and Chi Omega hosted their share of well attended parties. Summer school students spent long hours at the pool — day and night. There was more than one occasion when students were caught after hours in the pool — arid some were thought to be such leaders! Local At- lanta attractions, Stone Mountain and Six Flags, also created escapes from campus. The amusements for students who took summer classes. Some of the favorite off campus han- gouts were: PJ Hailey ' s, Denny ' s, and Benni- gan ' s. Many students took the opportunity to work over the summer vacation while the others took it easy in the sun. Along with the gang at the Hyatt Rivinia— Frank Beaty, David Turner, Darryl Wade, and Gary For- d — Atonella Grandi spent the summer work- ing. She interned with the Georgia Shake- speare Festival, producing King Lear, and The Taming of the Shrew, which was located in a tent on Anderson Field.

For this, he said, he would like to think that his teaching helped to close cultural bonds . . . Helping East Meet West. Dr. Ken Nishimura has definitely come a long way. The professor of philosophy was born and grew up in Tokyo, Japan. Nishimura recalls that the educational system then, at the school he attended, was only nominal. He add- ed that a normal school day included ... practical, military drills and school atten- dance dwindled to almost nill. As a boy, he was witness to many of the horrors evoked by the second World War. In March of 1945, just five months before th e war ended, he watched his home being destroyed by bombs. He was only twelve at the time: It ' s miraculous that I ' m still alive, he said. About half of the people in the town where I lived were killed — I was literally stepping over corpses in the streets. In the same year, in August of 1945, Dr. Nishimura journeyed to Hiroshima, where he became aware of the untoUed destruction caused by the atomic bomb. A feeling of helplessness rushed through me as I saw what I saw ... all the debris and wreckage, the wood- en houses turned to dust and scraps, window panes melted like candy, bent iron poles. There was nothing left. But Nishimura said his feelings were mixed about the war; I was repulsed on the one hand by the awesome and inhumane destruction, but on the other hand, I realized that it was we who started the war. Bu t all in all, he agreed that War is, most definitely, hell. It was Dr. Nishimura ' s father who inspired his dream of becoming a Christian minister, says Nishimura. I wanted to be able to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1948, he gave his life to Jesus Christ, and, as he says, My whole life was transformed. His life dedicated to God, Nishimura left Japan to come to the U.S. in 1954. He landed in California, where he attended Pasadena College for four years. From there, he went on to the Asbury The- ological Seminary for three years, and after- wards, went to teach at Emory University in Atlanta. He was working on his doctorate when he was approached by Dr. Donald Ag- new at Oglethorpe and asked to teach. In 1964, he accepted the offer, and the rest, as they say, is history. In the same year, 1964, Nishimura was or- dained a minister of the Methodist Church. Teaching and the ministry are not very differ- ent, asserts Nishimura. I was called to teach here; I am convinced of that. My parish is Oglethorpe University and the class is my pul- pit. But occasionally, I would like to have my own church. I might do it when I retire. Dr. Nishimura said his greatest joy is to see his students ... translating the teachings of philosophy into their own intellectual insight. He also said, It is one of the best rewards and deepest compliments. Dr. Nishimura advises students to look at life ... in its total per- spective and to look ahead. He urges them to be in service to God and mankind, ... taking time to seek rewards through unselfish pur- suits. He is a firm believer that peace is the most crucial issue of mankind. eca- l etUf 9 Michael Rulison Daniel Schadler William Shropshire Randy Smith Yearbook Advisor Perry Dement works in the Alumni Development Office.

But over the summer, when three women told of their res- ignations, many people were shocked. Kath- leen Ganey, Women ' s Housing Director recently promoted to Director of Housing, left to work in sales in Alabama. That same week, Martha Sledge — Kathleen ' s replace- ment as W.H.D.— also resigned to give her- self more time to dedicate to finishing her graduate studies. Julie Weyer, Assistant to the Director of Financial Aid, left due to her recent wedding. Enjoying themselves during Kathleen Ganey ' s going away party ate Carole Duffy and Carol Johnston. The administration took months in replac- ing Dean Wheeler— his successor was Don- ald Moore. Kathleen and Martha though, left suddenly and the administration had to act quickly because the fall semester was just six weeks away. Leigh Anne Leist was hired in Kathleen ' s place, and Martha was replaced by Ruth Ryan— a student and at the time a Resi- dent Advisor. The administration hired a student again in replacing Julie with Carolyn Proper— a great loss to the volleyball team, but an excellent addition to the staff. The latest fashion?

Whether it was serving the community through Alpha Phi Omega, Rotaract or Circle K; exploring new cultures through The International Club or The Orient Club; or learning new ways to express ideas through The Tower, Stormy Petrel, Yama- craw or Thalian Society, students always kept busy in their extra-curricular activi- ties. The University Singers and The Players not only gave students an opportunity to enhance and show off their talents, but also offered travel experiences. The Uni- versity Singers left for New York for a fun filled weekend, while The Players Direc- tor, Lane Anderson, offered tours of the major theatrical companies in Atlanta, and took the children ' s play — Androcles and the Lion— on the road to local ele- mentary schools. With some clubs, like The Thalian So- ciety, meeting once a week, no matter what a person ' s study schedule, there was always room for at least one extra-curricu- lar activity. And no matter which club a student belonged to, or what activity they were doing, it seemed that the entire Oglethorpe community worked together to make each project the talk of the town. ting Connecting the slide projector to the li table took a lot of time because Sherry Wilson and Rise Nachman had to conceal the wires in the ceil- ing.

The Oglethorpe Christian Fellowship was an interdenominational Christian group. Affiliated with Intervarsity Chris- tian Fellowhip, OCF sought to provide students with spiritual training, opportuni- ties for worship, and an accepting atmo- sphere of Christian love. OCF was charac- terized by one regular, large group meeting per week, supplemented by fam- ily groups. These family groups— eight to twelve students in each — were investi- gative Bible study groups as well as a source of strength and bonding through prayer. OCF sponsored the Thanksgiving Chapel Service and participated in the Eas- ter Sunrise Service held on the campus. %e£i cacc fn cfi ff3 Yamacraw— Front Row: LaDonna Barros, Patricia Hatch, Kathleen McDermott, Rise Nachman, Beth Morrison, Fran Sam Mehsen works diligently in the darkroom before the Bennett; Second Row: Rachel Fowler, Perry Dement, Heidi Dawson, Johnny White, Dawn Fladseth, Laura Brian, Kevin Christmas deadline. Bradley. Three publications are available for students to enjoy and to be in- volved with. The Yamacraw, the yearbook, is one of the biggest highlights of each school year. The staff works hard to insure that each student is represented in the book. The Stormy Petrel, the newspa- per, tries to represent the current events at the school and through- out the world. Not only is it an accurate record of news but also a place for students to express their own ideas. The Tower, the school magazine, is the creative outlet for the students. The staff encourages students to contribute poetry, prose, artwork, and photography. All publications encourage any in- terested student to become in- volved in production.

Just as Oglethorpe University offered much to students, the Greek Life, too, offered much. Being Greek was one of the more beneficial experiences a student could have as he began or continued his college career. It provided him with many opportunities to become a well-rounded individual as he completes four of the most important years of his life. There were many aspects of the Greek Life which made it worthwhile. These as- pects included the opportunities to play sports through intramurals, to help others by working for philanthropies, and to compete in such special events as Greek Week and Rush. Being Greek also bene- fitted as it encouraged members to be mvolved in campus activities, provided members with opportunities for leader- ship, promoted school spirit, and helped members grow as they worked together with brothers and sisters. But, most im- portant, being Greek provided members with the opportunity to have fun. With band parties, socials, dances, beach week- ends, and special events, the Greek Life was always filled with excitement and good times. As members of the Greek system grew close to their brothers and sisters through these many experiences, they also developed a strong sense of loy- alty and pride, not only to their respective fraternities and sororities, but also to Og- lethorpe University, which helped the Greek system to remain united and strong.

From the first kick-off of the soccer season until the last pitch of the intramural Softball season, the ability of the athletes were highlighted with a sports program deeply rooted with tradition. In victory or defeat, the magic black and gold transcended from the athletes whether it was on Anderson Field or in Dorough fieldhouse. If it wasn ' t Alan Royalty shooting at the net or Dean DeCencio at the goal, it was Monica Eidelman with a spike or Ajay Chabria with an ace proving that Petrel Power was still in existence as a part of the talk of the town.

Peter, in his sophomore year, became a dominant player and the competition began to take notice. Poor Boys and Soccer A Kick in the Grass Arriving early before the semes- ter began, the soccer team prepared for the new season. As always, the team brought with them their spe- cial enthusiasm to the campus. The team was known for their never- say-die attitude, tremendous hustle on the field and their fantastic spir- it! Their spirit was evident on and off the field as many became a tight-knit group— the Poor Boys. Continually improving throughout the season, the freshmen and soph- omores contributed greatly to the team with new talent and spirit, while upperclassmen anchored the team with experience, consistency and emotional support. As the team improved, the support from the stu- dent body increased equally. Many times, loyal followers, including students and parents, could be seen relaxmg on the sidelines enjoying an afternoon of soccer on the sunny fall days. Splitting the seam.

The team was organized by Marshall Nason who also serves as coach of the cross-country team. Once the new school term began , O.U. ' s cross-country team could be seen everyday around campus chalking up mile after mile. The in- tense practice paid off with good performances by Rich Briggs, Mack Van ' t Reit, and Barry Cars- well who also lent experience to the young team. This year, like the last couple of years, produced a team to be proud of, and team members feel like many good seasons are still to come. 1 1986 Volleyball Team Members Lauri Epps, Chris Skinner, Lisa CaldweU, Gina Yuikke, Lori-Jo Pacpaco, Mary Jane Stuart, Ketensa Shoemake, Angie Rupe, Monica Ei- delman, Carol Boyd, Traci Johnston, Lea Franco, Coach Jime Owen. Vamos! As typical in most sports, the Wo- mes ' s Volleyball Team crowded together for i a team yell to boost their spirits. Vamos , the Spanish term let ' s go was coined by the favorite bird Monica Eidel Leading the team in both skill and spirit was captain Angie Rupe. Angie finished her last year playing for the Lady Petrels success- fully, having an 85.25% serving, 229 assists, 49 stuff blocks and 28 block assists, 65 digs and 50 saves. The Bird. Monica Eidelman provided a valuable asset to the team. Her fine playing skill helped her achieve a position on the All- District team. fSO wn uOff v Me«fdcM Even though the team lost Carolyn Proper in the beginning of the year, with their spirit and persistence the Lady Petrels ended the season Coming up on Top Freshman Power. With little volleyball ex- perience, freshman Kerensa Shoemake quickly learned the skills needed to place her as a regular in the team ' s starting line-up. The Oglethorpe Lady Petrels Volleyball team ended the regular season with seven straight wins to finish 19. 11 overall and 10-0 in Dis- trict Area games. The Lady Petrels had best district record and hosted the District 25 playoffs. The regular season was a highly successful one. After losing All District Player Carolyn Proper early in the year the Lady Petrels bounced back to win 19 matches losing only 11. In total games they were 43-23. They were the youngest team in the district with one senior, Angle Rupe; one junior, Traci Johnston; two sophomores, Eidel- man, Caldwell; and two freshmen, M J. Stuart and Kerensa Showmake in the starting line up. The team learned to play to- gether well as the season pro- gressed. And as the players became more familiar with each other the timing of the offense and the cover- age of the defense became better. Seven of the team ' s eleven losses came at the hands of Division I schools. said Coach Jim Owen.

Giving it Their Best Shot Recruitment of intelligent and skilled athletes from junior colleges and high schools had given the team a unique group of competi- tors to be found nowhere else in the area Increased support for the team had evolved and the team returned this sign of support by playing an exciting season of basketball Al- though their record wasn ' t exactly what they wanted, each game had been considered a toss up of who would win until the very last min- utes. Contrasting with past years, their games away from the familiar court saw the Petrels play with pride and authority and the team developed into a tough road team Adding to the rivalry that had developed be- tween Shorter College, the Petrels have started to develop a rivalry with Emory. The match-up began with a great start as the Petrels won the first game between the two in a thriller at the fieldhouse. The season was filled with many wins and some losses, but overall the basketball team came out on top ' With a shot on the way, Lloyd McAithur prepares to put the ball in the basket Swoosh!

Unlike years in the recent past, students began to adamantly support the soccer, volleyball, and basketball teams and kept their ac- tive support of intramurals. Contributing greatly to this ac- complishment was the newly formed pep band and a contest set up by the athletic program in which organizations competed to see what group could get the most atten- dance at each game throughout the year. And Petey was blessed with a new costume— a gold and black bird dressed in a basketball uni- form. The pride shown was attributed to many things on and off campus, but it was truly the athletic pro- gram, reinforced by the present spirit in the hearts of the students, that made such an impact. Give me a P! cries Petey the Petrel. Our cheerful mascot was always on hand to toot the team to victory. Scott Soioway was one of the usual people to play Petey duiing the games.

Intramural Softball Springtime Fun! A sharp grounder to short, over to second for one, and on to first for a double play!! No, it ' s not the Mets and Red Sox for the cham- pionship, but it ' s intramural Softball on the Oglethorpe campus. Just when the weather begins to show signs of emerging from a long Georgia winter, the softball season hits O.U. Again this year, many teams were represented from the fraternity and independent sectors of the campus. By March, everyone is looking forward to getting out and taking a break to hit fly balls. Because of its immense popularity, it ' s easy to round up a group and enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the sunny spring weather playing soft- ball.

To some people these words may mean little, but to the men and women who compete in intramural football, the words and the plays they describe may mean the difference between a winning and losing season. Of course, flag football is not a major college sport, but for the O.U. student, it is as close as he or she can come to achieving gridiron glory. You can- not tell the player that O.U. football means nothing, because for the hour it takes to play, the only thing important to that person is to make sure he rips the flag off of his oppo- nent. The flag football program at O.U. is strong, and many men and women teams are represented. This was a good year for many teams, with most either equalling or sur- passing last year ' s results. The best of the pack were represented by the GDI team for the men, who again had a perfect season, and the Chi Omega team for the ladies. Throughout the season, the compe- tition was tight, and at times play was outstanding considering that no one receives football scholar- ships. This statement was best evi- dent in the men ' s championship game during which the GDI team had to play 3 overtime periods be- fore finally beating a relentless Chi Phi team. { ttnamu%a£ u td iM f6f -4 ' ' w m. .iwK.i .- ■) S: Putting up the block, Mike Szalkowski of the GDI team leaps high into the air in a ; match against Delta Sigma Phi. ntramural Volleyball Players Think Bump! Set! Spike! Inside the Fieldhouse on a cold winter night, O.U. students could be found playing a sport usually reserved for the beaches in the sum- mer. Volleyball season brings out many men and women athletes to show one another their skill in the beach-bum sport. The enthusiasm for competition is so great that three divisions had to be created to handle all the teams with their var- ious skill levels. In the upper divi- sion, good play was often seen, and intensity levels rose when the match was on the line. Often the gym rocked with the sound of the team supporters. 62 Utn zm€i%€d (MMet iM GDX p . Sigma Alpha Epsilon 0f BPoor Boy5 ' (ft % 1 N 11 HM)n h L ' .

These ap- proaches ranged from beautiful celebrities in ads to using catchy music and slogans. Advertisers chose some of the most popular celebrities of the year to endorse their products. If Max Headroom ' s com- puterized humor did not persuade many consumers into catching the wave of ' New Coke, then maybe Bruce Willis ' pro- vocative song convinced the public to purchase Seagram ' s Golden Wine Coolers. Lionel Ritchie rewrote some of his hits for use in Fepsi commercials, while a Molly Ringwald look-alike declared her devo- tion to Jordache jeans. Some ad campaigns were successful and others pretty much hit the dirt. With high expectations. Burger King launched a major national campaign featuring Herb — a man who has never eaten at a Burger King—who visited Burger Kings across the nation. Their endeavors to make Herb a household name and in- crease their business over McDonald ' s and Wendy ' s were pretty futile as the public responded negatively to the ads. Count- less other campaigns met the same fate throughout the year — good intention gave way to much wasted money. Advertising became an increasingly competitive industry. Companies spent as- tronomical amounts of time and money searching for the perfect slogan. Between cola wars and fast food battles, consumers were bombarded with gimics aimed at making a specific product the talk of the town.

The festivities truly began, though, when members of the stu- dent body, faculty, staff and alumni assembled in Lupton Auditorium to view what many referred to as the most successful and enjoyable presentation in the last few years. Coordination of the program was lead by Dean Donald Moore, who felt that a lighter approach would make the day more fun for all and increase student participa- tion. With that in mind, he asked Lane Anderson and Hank Bunnell to combine their talents and create a special presentation for the open- ing ceremony. Mr. Anderrson ' s past experience with the l ' )Oth convocation and Hank ' s 55rF video experience was Enjoying the convocation. Brent Bishop, Rise Nachman, Joey Masden, Kevin Wams- ley, Steve Cumbee, Mike Clance, And) Geeter, and Hank Bunnell watch the video tape that Lane Anderson and Hank Bunnell put together just the ticket to devise an en ter- taining film for everyone. Their ar- chive-hound film was a combination 1938 Two days at Oglethorpe promotional film and a tape made throughout January that showed up-to-date scenes. Also included in the program was an audience participation sec- tion where Mr. Anderson inter- viewed various people to be added to the film. Dr. Manning PattiUo was asked to describe the average day in the life of the president and proceeded to explain to all that fu- ture policy would include no admit- tance to students with SAT scores over S)00 and grades below C would abolished! (If only that were true!) The festivities concluded on a high note with the introduction of the Stormy Petrel March (1924), dis- covered by James Bohart, arranged Is there anyone you want to say hi to? asks Lane Anderson to Toni Tatum, a Senior from California Toni was just one of the few students Lane Anderson interviewed during additional taping for the Oglethorpe Day by Irwin Ray and performed by the University Singers. The audience joined in to show some real school spirit. Leaving the auditorium, the crowd reassembled at the Emerson Student Center for a luncheon pre- pared by Epicure. The luncheon met with some great success as stu- dents wistfully asked Can ' t we eat like this everyday.- ' The crowd mingled through the carnival atmo- sphere and a wide variety of foods including Not-Joe ' s Nachos, Marta Subs, and the Var-City, were served. There was a great feel- ing of spirit and fun that made the entire day a huge success. .1 1 1 7 £ O t 04O Atlanta ' s snowfall of five to six inches did more than kick- off Spring semester ' 87, it stilled the busy city ' s traffic, slowed the nation through the closing of Hartsfield International Airport, and brought joy to every boy, girl, and college student who got to stay home from school. The slow but steady white stuff began falling the night be- fore, becoming seamless blan- kets of snow by the next morn- ing. After the exciting news that Oglethorpe was closed, on-cam- pus students lost no time prepar- ing for fun. Gloves and scarves and boots were donned to stave off the cold. Cameras came out of cases to record the memora- ble scene. And plastic trays were smuggled out of the cafeteria at breakfast and lunch to be em- ployed as sleds. It was only a short time be- fore the hill between the upper quadrangle and Traer Hall be- came a slick slope as students whizzed down on trays and gar- bage can lids. Later in the after- noon Tennis Hill , a slope equal only to the Six Flags Scream Machine for steep- ness, was created between the tennis courts and the track. This one was definitely not for the faint of heart. For some students, creating snow art was a more enjoy- able pastime than hitting the slof)es. Snowmen, women and animals of every size popped up across the campus, adorned by the latest in fashion pinestraw and twigs. A few creations made artistic statements; a particular favorite, entitled The Woman Scorned, was said to be an ac- curate representation of O.U. ' s dating scene. By Monday, most of the evi- dence of the fun-filled weekend had melted away. Atlanta and the rest of Georgia was back to business as usual, almost as if nothing had occurred just four days before. « the midst of all the excite- M ment during the first few inches, Teri Wall and John Wuichet take a minute out of their fun snowball fight to get a picture taken. Assuming that school would he cancelled, many students stayed up all night to enjoy the unique weather. ts Bryan and I walked MmiA along the campus tak- § ing photos of all the snow, we found it pretty incredible that it actually snowed this much. But even more incredible was the miniature Lupton Hall that we stumbled upon in our journey — it was very impressive. Denice Sayers 00% gcilking behind the Wm courts, I couldn ' t even rW imagine the size of the hill which we were approaching. Be- fore we were finished, our uneasin- ess had turned to recklessness as we formed a chain ofsledders hurdling down the hill. David Turner 7 here ' s no business like snow business, said Gary Hand when describing this photograph. Gary, Beth Eckard, and about three-fourths of the stu- dent body had snowball fights throughout the night. ci 4lHf fS5 w The year had hardly begun when disaster hit the U.S. space program, with the explosion of the Challenger shuttle. The na- tion reeled with shock as the im- ages of that ill-fated launch were replayed on TV: 73 seconds of soaring American spirit, of American strength . . . and then there was nothing. A plume of smoke . . . imprinted in our minds. Tragedy around the globe . . . In the USSR, a serious nuclear accident occurred at Chernobyl, north of Kiev. Only a few deaths were initially recorded, but the final toll may never be known, as radiation poisoning kills in decades, not days. Trouble for Libya was tri- umph for the USA when Pres, Reagan ordered air strikes in April. The bombing was in re- taliation for Libyan-sponsored terrorism in Europe. People Power triumphed in the Philippines in early 1986, as Pres. Ferdinand JMarcos was ousted after he tried to once again steal an election. Cory Aquino was installed as the new President, but her first few months in office were plagued by the continuing insurgency raging in her nation. After the ouster of Marcos, tackiness also struck the island nation, as thou- sands of shoes were discovered in the presidential palace; they had been purchased by Imelda Marcos. The year 1986 also brought the Meese Commission Report on Pornography, a rather ludi- crous piece of work that was dis- missed by its critics as unscien- tific. Many claimed that the outcome of the commission ' s investigation had been pre-de- termined by Mr. Meese. And then there was the Statue of Liberty Centennial Celebra- tion, a celebration of the tri- umph of American spirit . . . pre- sented with American overkill. Tackiness was the rule, perhaps best shown by the 200 dancing Elvis impersonators who were a part of the glitz. Needless to say, Entertainment Tonight had a field day. Other issues of 1986: America swapped Chief Justices, as War- ren Burger stepped down and William Renquist took over. Drugs became the throwaway issue of the 1986 election, as ev- eryone postured to be more anti-drug than his opponent (as if any candidate was truly pro-drugs anyway!). In the elec- tion, the Democrats re-captured the Senate, and Georgia gained a new senator when Wyche Fowler defeated Mack Mat- tingly in a bitter campaign. America got substantive tax re- form, assuring accounting firms of continued business for years to come. And the summit in Rekjavik ended in disagreement and disarray. Two other big issues as 1986 became 1987: Ronald Reagan watched his Teflon chip away, as the Iranamok situation con- tinued to fester; damage control attempts by the wounded ad- ministration continued into the new year. Also, there was the march on Forsyth County to demonstrate for Civil Rights. But perhaps the biggest event of 1986 — the one everyone was watching intently— was the mys- tery assault on newsman Dan Rather. The CBS anchor was at- tacked on Park Ave. in New York by two men who asked him several times, Kenneth, what is the frequency? Rather refused to answer (a cover-up, perhaps. ' ) and was summarily beaten. Truly, this was the Talk of the Town. kthink the people of America need to remember all the as- 9 tronauts that were killed in the space shuttle explosion, not just the first civilian. Elizabeth t was about time that the M president stopped talking 9 about standing up against terrorism and started to actually do something to deter future vio- lence. Violent men only learn their lessons through violence, and I think Quaddafi learned his. Tom James TT ands Across America was a big success in many ways. It showed that Americans can come to the aid of their own people, just as well as to others. Most important- ly, the event raised consciousness and shed some light on a growing problem. But even though it was very successful, we still have a long to go.

Bette Midler, the queen of comedy, came back strong in two of the big blockbusters of 1986, Ruthless People and Down and Out in Beverly Hills, and Outrageous Fortune in early 1987. Top Gun cruised into town and became the blockbuster movie of the year — grossing over 170 mill ion dollars! Marlee Matlin made her debut in Children of a Lesser God, becoming one of the most sought after starlets. Paul Hogan, debuting in Crocodile Dundee, charmed the nation in the surprise hit of the year (grossing over 100 million). Si- gourney Weaver came back to the Big Screen and earned the title Ramholini while fighting off Aliens. In music, Madonna tied leg- endary Diana Ross for being the woman to have the most num- ber one hits (according to Bill- hoard) when Open Your Heart hit number one in January. Cyndi Lauper, coming back after a two year absence, sur- prised many critics and fans with True Colors, her follow-up album to her number one debut She ' s So Unusual. The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, came out with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Live 1975-1985 and set re- cord sales all over the nation, jumping to number one on the album charts. The Go-Gos ' split and lead singer Belinda Carlylse lost forty pounds and went solo — her debut album as a so- loist came out strong but dropped from the charts after only releasing two singles. On television, ABC ' s com- edy-drama series. Moonlighting popularized co-stars Cybil Shep- ard and Bruce WiUis. Willis, within his two years on the series became one of the nation ' s fa- vorite television personalities. While off the set of Moonlight- ing, he found time to make Sea- gram ' s Wine Coolers commer- cials; an album with Motown; a movie; and toured with his band — Bruno and the Heaters — which was shown on HBO. The most phenomenal thing in the entertainment world was the popularity of Bill Cosby ' s se- ries, The Cosby Show. The show stayed in the number one slot for most of the year and charged an astronomical price for each commercial spot! With the help of Family Ties, Cheers, Night Court, and L.A. Law, The Cosby Show kept Thursday night the night to watch television. 7 ' he Taming of the Shrew, along with King Lear, was one of the shows that The Georgia Shakespeare Festival — based at Oglethorpe over the sum- mer— performed for their inaugu- ral year. est known for her role in ( The Bride of Franken- stein, Elsa Lanchester was an MGM starlette in the forties, she passed away during the winter. ymmortalized through his role as the Scarecrow, the brain- less friend to Dorothy in MGM ' s 1959 musical The Wizard of Oz, Ray Bolger was the last survivor of the main cast. 7ennis toughie John McEn- roe and Academy Award winning actress Tatum O ' Neal (Paper Moon) married ten weeks after Tatum gave birth to Kevin Jack.

Among the marchers there were no distinc- tions between skin color, because as far as the anti- demonstrators were concerned, we were all the same. I feel it is basically a ques- tion of ignorance. Ruth Ritch Jt ' s totally incomprehensible to me that people still have those feelings. Anyway, at the rate At- lanta is growing, Forsyth County will become a suburb soon, and they ' II be forced to integrate. They might as well face reality now! Jervette Nunn J Jhen 25,000 marchers, € 1500 National Guards- men, and another 1000 assorted police and federal agents were re- quired to guarantee the rights we were taught to be alienable, some part of our educational system had failed. I can feel only pity for the ignorance that supports rac- ism. Brent Evitt 7 he fact that 20,000 people participated in this march— people from all over the United States—shows that For- syth Counties are no longer ac- ceptable. Dr. Deborah Woolley f S a ' t90 cCa c f S a£ a t e (mm When we turned this corner from the road we marched on to go to the site of the rally, the marchers were on the road and the sidewalks were lined with mobs of KKK and people from Forsyth County who were pro- testing us being there. I was ter- rified throughout the whole march of these people. I didn ' t understand them or thier beliefs. But, when we got that close to them at that corner, I wasn ' t afraid anymore. After being a part of the people surrounding me for a mile of walking peace- fully, the mob that confronted us at the end didn ' t stir up fear anymore, only sadness for them. They are people under those sheets and behind those rebel flags. They were just as scared of us, 20,000 strong, as we were of them. It was really sad and I ' ll never forget that day or those feelings. Shelly Alford I was dissappointed that it was turned from a potentially al- truistic gesture to a political show, but all in all I still felt good when it was over. Much of the annoying delays during the march were caused by the disor- ganization of these political grandstanders. I was amazed that some people could actually show so little compassion for another human being. They hated us. I ' m sure some wanted to kill us. Anonymous I went only because I ' d never been in a march, I was encour- aged by the big turn out. I was offended by the t-shirt and ban- ner salesmen. I was bored with the redundant Go home nig- ger. I drew the line when one of the speakers suggested we give back the land the blacks aban- doned in 1915. I was tired of standing for so long. The Na- tional Guard was more frighten- ing than the counterprotestors. The counterdemonstrators probably feel more intense ha- tred than before. I felt a hight- ened unity among the march- ers — I ' ve never heard so many Excuse me ' s ' in a day. I ' m glad I went. I changed no one ' s mind, but helped make a point. Anonymous The men selling T-shirts and posters reduced it to the level of a circus, but at the same time, I think the 20,000 on our side went away with a new-found dedication to the civil rights movement. I ' m glad I went. John Wvichet Being part of the march was an intense experience — the Klansmen in hoods, the thou- sands of National Guardsman, ten-year old kids shouting ob- scenities they didn ' t understand, the unity of the marchers regard- less of color, age, or sex, the posters proclaiming James Earl Ray and Lee Harvey Oswald as heroes, the astonishment of a people who had never left the fifties when they realized the rest of the world had progressed . . . Some Libertarians who didn ' t march felt it was a waste of time — fortunately , their attitude was ignored in the sixties and on January 24th because Forsyth County is not exclusive of Geor- gia or the U.S. and the violation of civil rights is not exclusive of an issue of color.
