A Grand Entrance. Tim Taylor and Dan Stoenica arrive at Dr. Pattillo ' s home for the formal Rush dinner during Rush Week. Praising the Lord. Larry Rollins, Cindy Crawford, and Paige Collier peruse their hymn book for a tune which they J can sing at an O.C.F. Bible Study. Larry, Cindy, and Paige were all members of the University Singers. Some students flocked to the BSTK show- ing at The Bomb Shelter, others trudged to Lowry Hall Libraty, and still others set their studies aside and ventured outs ide of the campus to taste the Atlanta nightlife . . . stu- dent life in action. 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

A heavy silence loomed in the corridors of Hearst Hall. Moving outside in the courtyard, the weak March sun reflected on the empty concrete benches. In Traer Quad, only a scarce few remained — this was spme BRiAH Books closed, pens down, suit- cases packed, the grounds of Og- lethorpe University were evacuated faster than a building inferno. 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. ' Beach Blanket Bingo. Cliff Robinson. Sta- cey Gates. Lairy Rollins, Vicki Smith, and Cindy Crawford spend a day at Savannah Beach. Larry ' s parents invited them to stay at their home for the break.
