TO PRESIDENT MANNING M. PATTILLO, }R. AND HIS WIFE MARTHA PATTILLO Words alone may not ade- quately express our graditude for the years you have given to Oglethorpe University. We hope this dedication demon- strates our appreciation.

The lenox area boasted four new buildings, but were in no way comparable to the architectural marvel of the IBM tower. Buckhead became the place to be, whether it meant living there or just having a good time. And with the Democratic Convention being held in Atlanta, commercial expectations were very evident: MARTA ' s airport station was nearly completed. Under- ground Atlanta ' s revitalization was in the works, and a bid for the 1 996 Summer Olympics was submitted. Meanwhile, Oglethorpians took advantage of the various offerings of a big city environment, enabling their spare time to be spent. Picture Perfectly. OPENING 3 Picture Perfect Changes occurred all around the campus. The weight room left the pit, findinig a new home and a new name — The Sweat Shop . The weight room wasn ' t the only change seen in the student center, though; the cafeteria received a face lift, and three smaller conference rooms were constructed. For a while the front and back entrance were high- lighted with modern art — which eventually, when completed, became Kiosks. The most visible (and audible) change, though, was MARTA passing infront of the school ' s entrance every six minutes. Every new addition to Oglethorpe ' s scenery was an attempt to, in some way, make life that much more Picture Perfect. 4 OPENING OPENING 5 r Student Life Oglethorpians could always find something to occupy their time. If studies were finished (or could be put off for one more night) students flocked to P.J. Hailey ' s on Thursday evenings — although by mid- October Dr. Gersch ' s Physical Sci- ence class stopped participating. Once or twice a month Chi Phi offe- red their donation at the door parties, allowing students to give to a good cause. Every holiday the OSA co-sponsored some type of themed party, allowing students to dance away their frustrations. The Players provided plays, the Bomb Shelter brought BSTV, and the Singers sang songs, each helping, in their own way, to make student life picture perfect.

STUDENT LIFE DIVISION 7 Spring Time Fun The first Saturday in April dawned cold and gray, the lead sky threatening snow, sleet, rain, or a nasty combination of all three. Chill winds whistled through the doorways and around the staircase of a sleeping Traer Hall. This was no day for the annual Traer Beach Bash. As this was, however, the scheduled date for the Beach Bash, the Residence Hall Council and the Resident Assistants were posed with a dilemma. The answer; move the Beach Bash! Fortunately for everyone involved, the weather on Saturday April 25th could not have been more perfect. As the warm sun beat down, bikini-clad women appeared on the balconies and in the quad. Huge servings of shrimp, fresh fruit and cold nonalcoholic daquiries and Pina Coladas satisfied the hungry and the thirsty. As usual, there were competitions between floor residents in games such as the waterballoon-toss, a scavenger hunt and the laundry-cart race. If the shrimp and fruit did not fill up hungry tummies, students were served dinner at Traer, followed by live music featuring Chi Phi brother Dave Murdico. After dinner the clean-up began, as the warm sun set on a weary Traer crowd. Bikinis were exchanged for jeans and sweats and fun-seekers ventured out to join in Atlanta nightlife.

Dr. Pattillo honored Dr. Talley at both the Spring and Summer Graduation. The graduate march, described as both thrilling and intimidating, brought seniors closer and closer to- ward the ceremony which marked the exit of one phase of their lives and the entrance into An Unknown and Exciting Future Manning M. Pattillo, Jr. welcomed parents, students, faculty and guests to Oglethorpe ' s 115th Commencement on IVIay 17, 1987. 86 Oglethorpians recieved Bachelor of Arts degrees, 21 received Bachelor of Science degrees. There were 25 Bachelor of Business Administration degrees and 1 1 Master of Arts degrees bestowed. A special feature of this gradu- ation which distinguished it from previous years was the naming of Dr. T. Lavon Talley as Professor Emeritus. Dr. Tally retired after nineteen years of devoted serviceasprofessorof education. Dr. Tally will be remembered fondly by the many people who ' s lives he touched. Special recognition was also granted to deserving seniors. Penni Reid recieved the Sally Hull Weltner Award for Scholor- ship, and Bret Sleight received the Faculty Award forScholorship. The presti- gious lames Edward Oglethorpe Awards presented to the man and woman, who best epitomize the Oglethorpe concept of academic success were bestowed upon Scott Soloway and Penni Reid. That ' s right, Penni Reid deservingly received not only one, but two awards. After all, she maintained a 4.0 throughout her entire college career. The Phi Beta Kappa Award, which was recently instituted during the 1986 commencement, was given to Bonnie Boles for her outstanding academic achievements. The President ' s Leadership Prize, which was the final award, was given to Hank Bunnell for his superior leadership and involvement in a variety of clubs and activities, including his creation of the Bomb Shelter. Following the awards ceremony, Scott Soloway, president of the class of 1987, announced the senior class gift — a beautiful antique chandelier, which adds a touch of elegance to the Great Hall. Scott suggested that the chandelier would remind everyone of the class of Bestowing of the Diplomas Chris Cart;er graciously receives his diploma from Dr. Pattillo. 1987 since it was so bright! Following Scott ' s bit of wittisism, the audience enjoyed listening to the guest speaker, Charles S. Ackerman, President of Ackerman and Company. Mr. Ackerman emphasized varied challenges confront- ing people in leadership positions in society today. He recognized, particularly, how a liberal arts education can give tomorrow ' s leaders the background to meet varied future challenges. A benediction by Dr. Ken Nishimura, Professor of Philosophy and Chaplain of the University, not only marked the close of the ceremony, but also, reminded graduates that they were no longer students but degree-holding members of the ' real world. RN.ph jw 10 GRADUATION Contemplating the Future, Penni Reid, class valedictorian, Is caught deep in thought reminising about her college years. GRADUATION 1 1 For most, the beginning of tiie sumnier was a welcome relief from the unusually tense period of final exams. Like a house on fire, students vacated the campus faster than you could say, beach. For three months the words library, cafeteria-food and study were in back of everyone ' s mind, like Faded Shadows So where did these young, knowledgeable hounds go to escape the tension and stress that goes along with the pursuit of higher education? Anywhere they could; home, to stay with a relative in the mountains of Vermont, or even to ramble aimlessly through Europe. As long as the adventure took them nowhere near the looming clock- tower on Peachtree Road. For those students who did make the homage home, it was like taking a nostalgic walk down memory lane, as all their high school friends who had gone away to college also retumed for the summer. Senior Ric Ford was among these ranks as he retumed to his home in Washington, Indiana last summer. It was like 1 never left for college, he states. My old basketball buddies and I hung out and partied like we had done in high school. Ric did not go home just for the pleasure, though. Often, he was found on Saturday night till the wee hours of the morn- ing, flipping dough at the local pizza joint, IVlr. Gratti ' s, instead of partying. Sophomore Tressie Roland also went home, to Fort Pierce, Florida, to work not one job, but three! I needed the money and although 1 didn ' t have much ' play ' time, at the end of the summer I had alot more money in my wallet than my friends who bummed around the beach. Finally, for those with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, for those that a mere two semesters could not fulfill — the summer session kept them busy. Many of the students who attended the regular fall and spring sessions, also returned for the summer, — be it to make up lost credit hours, to obtain classes for eariy graduation, or to just fight off boredom. Kevin Southem, a senior, was among those few who stayed in Atlanta to attend summer classes. My town (Wharton, New jersey) is so dead in the summer, so the only thing to do is work and go to frequent family outings. I ' d rather take on the burden of an extra class for the oppor- tunity to live with my friends all summer. Kevin also took on a sales job in the local mall, but he somehow managed to find some spare time to party with his friends — and he did. It ' s easy to see that it didn ' t take the glamour of a two-month Alaskan cruise, or sun-bathing on the Rhine to entertain the modest student for the summer break. No matter how profitable or enjoyable these three summer months were, by mid-August students were desparately awaiting their return to school, daydreaming of the day when they could taste the delicious cafeteria food again, or, perhaps, find a cute freshman sitting next to them in Biology class.

Preparations for evening fun began at dusk as girls refined their make-up and tried for a funkier look. Guys put on their dancing shoes, sometimes unwillingly, and donned their drinking caps. Anticipation hoovered in the evening air, for this might be the night TONIGHT...TONIGHT...TONIGHT Whenever students felt the urge to ex- perience Hotlanta on the weekends they found plenty to do. The weekends began on Thursday night (a weekend in the English tradi- tion?) at P.j. Haleys. Many Petrels migra- ted to this Emory area night-spot for an evening of dance and good times. For many of these students, the evening would not have been complete without a stop at that mecca of midnight snacking; Krystai, a place well known for its service and speed. Then came Friday and Satuday (week- end in the American tradition! ) Where did students go...? Buckhead, Virginia High- Suds and Smiles. Rachel Fowler enjoys a Thursday night out at P.|. Haley ' s.

Buckhead is a few miles down Peach- tree Road from Oglethorpe, was a popular hangout. Popular nightspots include R ' n R ' USA, Casa Fiesta, Aunt Charley ' s, Churchill Arms, and ofcourse T lunction. Good ol ' Days was perhaps the most popular place in Buckhead, and several professors are known to consider it as a daytime classroom-in-the-field. Lastly, there is Disco-Kroger, in the Limelight shopping center, the playing field for that wonderful sport known as midnight Krogering. Virginian Highlands, another fun destination, allowed adventurous students to conquer a country at Taco Mac, listen to some great bands, and then get fat at The Desert Place. Many topped off their evenings with a greasy burger at The Majestic on Ponce de Leon. Cruising west on Ponce to downtown, the city heat struck with concerts by such musical favorites as Sting and R.E.M., many plays, and special movies. Other attractions in the downtown area include WeekEnds, a place where anything goes, and Club Rio, where individuality rules. Of course.there ' s the Metroplex - but remember, proper leather attire is required! TJ.ph rn 14 NIGHTLIFE Getting into the groove, Kerensa Shoemake, M.|.

NIGHTLIFE 15 16 A DIFFERENT WORLD A Different World As the sun rose above the trees east of the men ' s dorms, the residence staff quickly finished last minute preparations for the long day ahead. Anticipation in the air, the wait began for the arrival of the first freshmen. Between the easy atti- tudes and the nervous anxieties of the incoming freshmen, checl -in was a pot- pourri of emotional ups and downs. After all, these freshmen were entering Each coming for different reasons, with different hopes, expectations, and fears, all freshmen faced similar questions as they encountered this new way of living. How am I going to live with this stranger? Will people like me? What clubs do I want to join? Why did I bring so much junk and where am I going to put it? What are the easiest courses to take? And so the fresh- men settled into their havens away from the real world and tried to cope with their very new realities. Some had said goodbye to their parents for the first time with a mixture of sadness and excitement; sadness for leaving a place full of memo- ries and security, knowing that home would never be the same when they re- turned, and excitement in not knowing what the future had in store for them. The dorms soon became home and the stran- gers became family. The men had to learn to do laundry, and even some of the women were new to this chore. Both had the responsiblity of bud- geting their time and money. For most freshmen a checking account was a new thing. (They soon learned that rubber checks got a student in a lot of trouble.) To handle the extra burden of handling one ' s own finances, many students got jobs for the very first time — for others, though, it was old news. Almost everything that freshmen experienced their first two months at school was new. But after Thanksgiving college was an everyday event. ' !

Many students opt not to have the burden of a telephone bill every month. Charlie Anton takes advantage of a beautiful fall day to study outside. Statistics showed that many students almost never studied m high school, discovering that college was somewhat diferent. A DIFFERENT WORLD 17 18 VANITIES VANITIES 19 It was a day not soon to be forgotten for many new faces on the campus. The First Full Day This particular day did not consist of classes, but of numerous activities, in- formation-filled sessions, meeting new people, adjusting to a new way of life in general. And just when those participat- ing freshmen thought it was safe to un- wind back in their dormrooms, still clutte- red with attempts to completely relocate their possessions in a mere 24 hours, it was soon time to freshen themselves and dress for the annual President ' s recep- tion. Some decided to remain in groups and ride over to President Pattillo ' s home in vans departing from the Student Center; most freshmen arrived with others await- ing the reception of a man they had yet to meet. It was a rather formal occasion, complete with President Manning Pattillo and his wife Martha greeting at the door. Various professors were also present eager to make the acquaintances of the Discussing Upcoming Events for the school year are Dr. Nancy Kerr, and Misty Gonzales. A Welcoming Smile.

The night moved quickly, with students arriving and then departing soon after- wards. The house was constantly full, al- most to the point of being too crowded. But for a President to invite the entire freshman class and their parents to attend was very unusual. The Pattillo ' s welcomed guests all throughout the year. If it wasn ' t for the freshman reception it was for the fraternity and sorority rush or for the graduating class reception. The president and his wife always made it a point to so- cialize with the students. And that was one of the special aspects of the school. 20 PRESIDENT ' S RECEPTION Service With a Smile.

Singing Praises The Harison Gospel Singers grace the Bomb Shelter stage with a night of pure gospel energy. For those few evenings when Oglethorpians weren ' t scholastically occupied, an original and fun alternative was offered. Students entered this Petrel war zone armed and ready to forget about studies. Every night was a blast at THE BOMB SHELTER The Bomb Shelter, where students relaxed, were able to get good food, and be entertained by a variety of activities, expanded in many ways. Among the phys- ical improvements were new lighting, more video games, an original mural over the door and of course, more netting. A pool table was added, as well as a dart board. This enabled the Bomb Shelter to sponsor various amounts of tournaments. Movies were presented nightly, includ- ing several film festivals such as Halloween Week, Harrison Ford Night, Bomb of the Month bad movies, and Mid- night Movies ranging from Dr. Strangelove to Pink Floyd ' s The Wall. There were also special programming, among the most successful of the events were 40 ' s Week, which hosted a week of WWII movies — comedy, drama, and musicals — and ended with the first annual USO Dance. The USO Dance featu- red forties ' contemporary music, a costume and dance contest, and a live USO variety show — including The An- drew Sisters, a ventriloquist act, songs from South Pacific and the infamous Who ' s on First comedy routine. The most popular feature of the Bomb Shelter was BSTV. Director Hank Bunnell, camera in hand, rushing to get that last shot filmed, became a very familiar sight. BSTV ' s themes included BSTV ' s Summer Vacation, Video Kaos, Good Morning Oglethorpe, and BSTV ' s Flying Circus.

Without leaving their seats, everyone in the room traversed the globe — experiencing wonderful variations of culture and talents ranging from Music to Drama The night was clear with a slight chill in the air as students gathered in the Great Hall for the Annual Night of the Arts fes- tivities. It might as well have been sub- titled A Trip Around the World for it was that upon which those in attendance were taken. Oh, and the places they went! First stop: Bulgaria. Yordan Yordanov, artist-in-residance, played a trumpet folk song. Next: Nacho Arrizabalaga ' s bagpipes led the group to a Spanish fiesta, giving a short glimpse of an un- familiar tradition. Through a Turkish folk- song, Gonca Gursoy took the audience through an imaginary countryside. The audience members were brought back to American reality throughout the evening by Chuck Truett ' s unnerving prose, Leah Hughes ' humorous dramatic reading, a melodic duet by Patricia Hatch and Lyle lennings, and particularly by a down home bluegrass trio. There were also joumeys given by classi- cal musical presentations on the piano. Carol Duffy, Tracie Bell, and Dr. Deborah Woolley were all very entertaining. The evening was beautifully brought to a close with the poetry of Susan Ludvin- gston from Winthrop College in North Carolina. Her selections appropriately continued the theme — time, place and emotion. IB.ph jw A Turkish Tune. Nacho Arrizabalaga, Gonca Gursoy and lohn Wuichet perform an authentic Turkish folk song, delighting the listeners.

Lyle lennings and Patricia Hatch sing By My Side from the Rock Musical Codspeli Lyle and Patricia, both off-campus students, sang in natural harmony adding a mellowness to the evening. NIGHT OF THE ARTS 25 Excitement built rapidly as students prepared for Halloween Weekend. All over campus doors were donned with orange and black, and pumpkins were giving Ghoulish Grins On Friday, the Halloween festivities began with Trick-or-Treat-in-Traer, sponsored by the Rotaract Club and fun- ded partly by O.S.A. Starting at two, as students prepared for the evening ' s ex- citement, the doors were judged and Hina Patel was awarded first place, with Beth Eckard trailing in a close second. Megan Grogan and Lisa Lawley, and Dawn Ellis and Vicki Smith were given honorable mentions. As the winners picked their prizes, helpful Rotaract members delive- red candy to students waiting anxiously outside. their doors for the first Trick-or- Treaters to appear. Three o ' clock finally arrived, and lines of children entered Traer jumping with anticipation. As they passed the first- floor ' s decorated doors, choruses of ooh ' s and ah ' s could be heard. Rang- ing from He-man and monsters to clowns and a bright orange Crayola, their costumes were both colorful and creative. As the aftemoon came to a close, the trick- or-treaters paraded off, leaving the students to prepare for the weekend festivities. Between Trick-or-Treat-in-Traer, the Chi Phi Halloween Costume Party held Friday night, the Player ' s production of NUTS, and the OSA-sponsored Halloween Dance, hosted by the SAE pledge class, students had their fill of Halloween fun — making the last week- Dressed for Success, sweet success that is; Kinis Meyers displays the sweet-pop she acquired after trick-or-treating.

Professor Leo Bilancio purchases some supplies in between his classes. Checking Out the various types of art paper, Tammy Lockiear contemplates whether she should purchase It. In the depths of Hearst Hall lies a place, a necessity to campus life. One place where students could buy any- thing from Almond Hershey bars to books on the Zodiac. Clothing, food, and emblemed dishes line the aisles in small but significant amounts. Even the outrageous gift for that person who has everything had its niche in the selection of paraphenalia. What kind of place has such a wide v ariety of pleasures? Oglethor- pians have no clever little name for this haven. They call it simply - The Bookstore A forum of items for sale and atmo- sphere, the bookstore offered the stuff that college life is made of. If it wasn ' t the tunes of WRAS 88.5 that lured a student into the commons, it was the sound of conversation and the ever present laugh- ter. One could browse at cards or posters or grab a quick bite to eat in the snack room. The aroma of freshly popped micro- wave popcorn was enough to draw one to this down-under alone! Off-campus students utilized the snack area for relaxing between classes and often that last minute cramming for a test. The bookstore represents to them, a place to touch base with college life and mix with on-campus students. The bulletin board outside the door allowed them to keep up with the many events that took place throughout the year. To on-campus students the bookstore represented more practical purposes. It meant anything from a job to opportunity for conversation with friends. Even if a student went to this eden to only get change for the laundry machines, he usually ended up staying longer than he intended, always leaving with a smile. Regardless of the purpose of each student ' s visit to the bookstore or length of visit, every encounter there proved to be an interesting and enjoyable one. The bookstore created lots of fun for everyone. 28 THE BOOKSTORE THE BOOKSTORE 29 Tell ' em baby.... Tell ' em the truth! demands Art Kirk of Claudia during his revealing and emotiona ' testimony.

It was a time to share and appreciate others as well as realize the value of one ' s own country. It was a gather- ing together of Many Different Worlds The International Night, sponsored by the International Club, was a delight forail those who attended. The various phases of the fun-filled evening began with a welcoming reception in the Talmadge Room, followed by a dinner in the Cafeteria, and concluded with entertain- ment from many cultures. The food, recipes from around the world, was eloqu- ently prepared by several students and represented countries such as France, Holland, Honduras, Poland and Norway. Decorated with flags of many countries, the Cafeteria was transformed into a world of its own. After taste-buds were thoroughly satisfied, the attendants en- joyed lively and diverse entertainment. International Club President, Orby Sondervan, welcomed the audience and introduced the performers. The band Star Dust performed first then turned the show over the faculty and student talents. Dr. |eff Arnett sang and played his guitar followed by Ignacio Nacho Arriza- balago who played the Spanish bagpipes. Lastly, Gonca Gursoy sang Turkish folk songs and danced.

The Miss Yamacraw Pageant, established in 1981, got a face-lift with a new, more respected, image. The contest name was appropriately changed and as the even- ing moved on the awaiting audience was presented with the very first Miss Oglethorpe The contestants were the largest group to participate during the six years the Miss Yamacraw Pageant was held. Propor- tionally, the quality of the show increased, as well. The girls represented various groups and organizations on and off campus and each shone with her own spe- cial uniqueness and flair which made sin- gling one out almost impossible. The judges first met the contestants the after- noon before the pageant during five- minute interviews with each girl. One judge commented on how intellectual the ladies were. Next came the formal pageant where girls were judged on talent and evening gown, as well as basic poise. The program was hosted by Darryl Wade, who added charm and humor to the long evening, and Anne-Marie Bowen, reigning Miss Yamacraw. During the talent section the audience members watched with interest as they were presented music, drama, and sheer entertainment. The stage came alive and continued to glow as each girl glided across with confidence and energy during the evening gown competition. Beth Eckard ' s sequined blue gown stood out as one of the more stunning gowns, though each one was worthy of royalty. As one audience member commented, ...when the girls came out at the end it was impossible to pick who would win. They all stood out in one way or the other as a potential Miss Oglethorpe. But, as the program came to a close and the girls awaited the results a hush fell over the auditorium and the announcements began. Leah Hughes received the first award and was given a plaque for being judged the best talent. Next, Lauri Epps and Ker- ensa Shoemake were presented roses and pronounced second and first runners- up as they took their places around the center stage spot reserved for the first Miss Oglethorpe... Gonca Gursoy! Gonca glowed as Ann-Marie crowned her and Darryl handed her a bouquet of roses. Within seconds the other contestants surrounded her with congratulations and friendship. As the excitement ended, the stage cleared, and as each contestant left she held with her special memories of ex- cellence, pride, and new friendships: each a winner in her own way. 34 MISS OGLETHORPE Miss Oglethorpe Conca Gursoy takes the spotlight after being crowned- Conca, sponsored by the gotaract Club, enchanted the audience with a Turk- ish Melody called ■ ' Yskudar All Aglow Kerensa Shoemake gracefully accepts her award after the announcement of her first runner-up Pretty in Pearls IVlichelle Rosen, sponsored by the Tri Sigma Pledge Class, is all smiles during the even- ing gown presentation.

Though there was only one award given, each girl performed well and honored the stage with her presence; reveal- ing yet another part of her complex self. It was a night of - Many Talents Perhaps the most unpredictable event of the semester was the talent portion of the Miss Oglethorpe Pageant. The competition was tough. The talent was in- credible! The award was presented to Leah Hughes. Leah entertained the audience with a dramatic reading from Twirling, a satire on baton twirling. All of the talents were meritable. In fact, the award could have been given to quite a few of the girls without much surprise from the audience.

MISS OGLETHORPE TALENT 37 cloths, food, beer - all luxury items for the often-times broke college student. For those students who take the initiative to gain employnaent, however, a job can mean the difference between a positive and negative balance in the ol ' check- book. In any account... $$$$ MONEY TALKS $$$$ For most students, going to college is a full-time job in itself. For some, however, the responsibility of attending class and doing homework is coupled with an off- campus job. Reasons behind these dual- roles vary from career experience to help- ing finance tuition costs to just having extra spending money. When asked about her job, freshman Susan Little stated, I ' m broke; there ' s Macy ' s; it ' s money! The pressure created by spending 15 hours a week in class and then 15 to 20 hours at a job greatly reduces study time. Many people have found that a reduction in time doesn ' t necessarily mean a reduc- tion in study time. Sophomore Denice Sayers, who works an average of 22 hours weekly at Rich ' s commented, It ' s very dif- ficult, Katherine Sjoblom, an employee of a Marietta law firm and a Psychology major, agreed by saying, It takes alot of time for my school work. Still, others found the work experience beneficial. For example, senior Education major Donna Adair gained valuable infield training while employed at the Oglethorpe Meth- Sergeants Type Too. Patricia Hatch, a Sargeant in the Army Reserves, works one weekend a month and two weeks a year to stay active in the reserves. Patricia was stationed in Germany before coming to Oglethorpe to receive her degree in International Studies. odist Child Development Center. Junior, Dee Pickett, enjoyed the employee ' s dis- count she received at Macy ' s. Whether for practical reasons, or just to earn a few extra dollars, off-campus jobs are often a necessary part of college life. For those dedicated students who man- age to divide their time between jobs and school, they definitely have something to be proud of. PH.m jw 38 OFF CAMPUS JOBS Maternal Instincts.

The ceremony which took place united Oglethorpe with its English heri- tage, while recognizing the new members of Omicron Delta Kappa. Omicron Delta Kappa is a national honor society that recognizes college students who have shown outstanding performance and leadership in many areas of college life, including academics, athletics, media and publications, service and other activities. At Oglethorpe ODK is comprised of 15 students (15 per year) and many faculty and staff members. In previous years the initiation of new ODK members was held during the Boar ' s Head Ceremony and the Christmas con- cert. This year, while ODK still sponsored the Ceremony, they held initiation separately in order to shorten the Christ- mas program. ODK initiated Brian Buzzeo, Cindy Crawford, Andy Geeter, Scott Halght, Leah Hughes, lonathan lohnson, Frank Lawton, Rise Nachman, and Vicki Smith Friday, December 4th in the Great Hall. Dr. Daniel Schadler was also initia- ted from the faculty. Following the initiation ceremony, the new initiates, along with current members, presented the Boar ' s Head at the Christmas concert. Entertainment was provided by the Oglethorpe University Singers directed by Dr. Irwin Ray, the Atlanta Early Music consort, the Oglethorpe Recorder En- semble, and the Oglethorpe Brass Ouartet and Instrumentalists. Inspired by the Coat of Arms of the lames Oglethorpe family (depicting strength, courage, and vigorl, the legend of the Boar ' s Head was told by the Omicron Delta Kappa students. Dr. Victoria Weiss added to the seasonal fes- tivities by performing an enchanting Christmas reading. Proud Parents.

Coming as a bit of a shock after enjoying a brief Thanksgiving holiday, it was soon that time of year when Oglethorpians found it necessary to give up socializing and even sleeping to prepare papers and study for their exams. Every table and cubicle was occupied in Lowry Hall from sun up until longaftersun down. Forthose who preferred to study in groups, the study rooms on the second floor were available and often full to capacity. Although students may have been scatte- red throughout the campus, from Lupton to Hearst, and from the Student Center to the dorms, each and every one shared the common experience of a week full of an- guish and dread, anticipation and stress. In order to relieve some of the tension steadily building throughout each day — days in which the common courtesy of order and quiet were strictly enforced for the Oglethorpians needing solitude for study — the residents of Traer dorm offe- red their solution to the problem of let- ting it all go. Now somewhat of an annual tradition, each night at 10 pm., the occu- pants of Traer were invited to enjoy one full minute of noise, screaming, slamming doors, etc. — a luxury not often apprecia- ted by those who have not been through such an experience. Similar to all trying experiences, finals week also offered an opposite assortment of emotions other than the negative ones more commonly associated with it. For all things must come to an end, and when the papers were written and the exams were completed, students were able to con- centrate their efforts on getting a good night ' s sleep and getting together with friends before the long holiday. It was then a time for celebration, a time to look back and realize all that had been accom- plished during the long semester.. .for some, it was filled with the pride of achievement, for others it was an opportu- nity to look forward to another chance to do better the following semester.

There were the few professors that were known to teach easier core classes, but not many. Not enough to ever say that an Oglethorpian ever aced a semester. In fact, in the last four years only two people — Jay Floyde, class of 1985; Penni Reid, class of 1 987 — have graduated with a perfect grade point average. There wasn ' t really one particular department that stood out as the most challenging; although, many people would disagree and say that the sci- ence department was the hardest. But no one would have ever said that they had handed in a perfect paper to Dr. William Brightman, or written a perfect issue brief for Dr. Orme — both impossible. But even when the average Og- lethorpian made less than 100% in a class, he left the semester satisfied — well educated; even though his grade may not have been picture perfect.

For the past two years the freshman SAT average has been oven 1100. This put Oglethorpe in a l eague with Georgia Tech, Emory, Vandenbilt and Duke — to name a few. At first a few students expressed concern that the school was getting too many people that would do nothing except study. Actually, there was no difference in the type of people entering Oglethorpe as fresh- men, other than the SAT score. Organiza- tions received more than average amounts of new members, and more people expressed interest in joining a so- cial organization than in the past. This doesn ' t mean that Oglethorpians didn ' t take studying seriously. Students discovered various places to study to give a little variety to their academic life. People went to Denny ' s or the Bombshelter, the library or a Traer lounge, and outside on the scenic law n of the University, or stayed in the confines of their own dorm room.

Yet, there were many opportuni- ties outside the class- room environment which enhanced the learning experience. These opportunities opened new doors for students by preparing them for the real world. The classroonn experiences coupled with these opportuni- ties created a better prepared and more well-rounded individual. One of these opportu- nities were guest speakers addressing the students. Lecturers exposed students to new ideas and differen t perspec- tives. Whether the speaker was discuss- ing politics and religion or Charles Dickens he gave the student in- sights into a new facet of interest. The lecturer not only offer- red the students new information, but also sometimes introduced a new perspective or view to an old idea. Lecturers inspired students to evaluate the unfamiliar informa- tion and re-evaluate the familiar.

Others in its league were Georgia State University, Appalachian State and the University of Florida. One of the unique aspects of the Education Program was the various ex- periences that the students received. In every methods course — Teaching of Sci- ence, Teaching of Mathematics, etc. — the students went to Dekalb county schools for observations. At these observations they would practice teaching one lesson in- volving the methods learned in the course. This hands on experi- ence taught more than just how to teach, it gave the students opportunities to in- teract with the children. Another experience the students had A as the September Experi- ence. Every Education Major observed and helped teachers prepare for the begin- ning of a new year. The students would go to the schools a week before they officially opened to give them an idea of what was ex- pected from them when they became teachers. 58 STUDENT TEACHING i ' STUDENT TEACHING 59 it:i8i Constructiv Senior Tom Ja Krissy CBrodes English Compo sition One paper Dr. Deborah Woolley).

But then after mionths of planning and detailed researching it becanne a reality. The Writing Lab now exists and is — grade wise — Helping Students Survive The writing lab, in- stituted by Dr. Deborah Wooiley, broadened its personnel by increasing the scope of majors that the peer tutors pursue. The staff ' s members came from Political Studies, Phil- osophy, Sociology and English backgrounds. Because writing was stressed across the curriculum, the need for an instrument to help students with their writing was a necessity. Not only did the lab serve as a tutorial service, but it also offe- red further interaction among peers, students and faculty. Besides the benefits for students who used the writing lab, the peer tutors thennselves reaped rewards, no matter what their major. The peer tutors gained the experience of communicating with others in a manner aimed toward a specific e. bringing into sharper goal, I theses focus. The increased in- teraction in the writing to improve skills as facilitators. Staffers profited, also, from the practice in instructing students — since those who chose graduate school probably ended up teaching under- graduates. Employers valued this type of facilitative knowledge; thus, the peer tutors benefited in that their experience was a much broader range. The trend to es- tablish peer tutoring sercives for A riting s A ept across the na- tion and the inception of the A riting lab by Dr. Wooiley confirms the foresight of educators while illustrating the education ' s pragmatic uses.

But it expanded to what looked like a veny soon to be major. The Ant MInon was appnoved, and a Majon was just a step away.

The main pnoblem with the pnognam now ' told an Admissions staff memben, is that when students stay here for two years they usually don ' t want to leave and end up dropping the Dual Degnee Program for one that Oglethorpe offers completely. The students en- nolled in the pnognam to ok dnaxA ing, painting, ant appneciation and one studio counse in addition to the cone before transfering to ACC. 62 ART PROGRAM r An Incredible Likeneea.

It seemed that when- ever a freshman was asked what his major was he either replied undecided or Pre- med. There was actually no major with the title of Pre-med, but most freshman science majors recited that as their majors to show of their future intentions — if they survived. Less than twenty-five percent of freshman science majors ever actually graduate with a B.S. In fact, most of them changed their mind before midterms. But Oglethorpe ' s reputation of having one of the highest acceptance rates into medical school attrac- ted many would-be sci- ence majors. But one the reasons the accept- ance rate was so high was because the sci- ence department was so tough — any who could survive four years and do well enough on their MCATs was al- most guaranteed ac- ceptance into some medical school. The sciences were not just limited to those majoring or minoring in that specific field of study. If they weren ' t attempting to complete a B. S. , they were parti- cipating in the three - two program with Georgia Tech, the University of Florida or Auburn. Students that com- pleted this program consistently performed better at the larger schools than predicted by those samie schools. Moreover, those who had completed the en- gineering programs did better than the average in their career pursuits.

Well, only diverse. The population, somewhere around 1,000 (and that ' s counting the maintenance staff plus visitors) included people from Turkey, Greece, Japan, China, Canada, Florida, California, Tennessee and, of course, various exits off the New Jersy Interstate Highway. There were the- jocks, the intel- lects, the geeks, the greeks, the anti- greeks, the outsiders, the insiders and those who couldn ' t really be classified as being associated with one particular clique. Every school was made up of these various groups of people. But it was the conglomeraton of the in- dividuals of Oglethorpe that, when put together, created the big picture — perfectly!

South Carolina Anne iVlills; always Reaching Out There were a few people on campus who really stuck out as being concerned with the problems of the world. Senior Anne Mills established a working habit of doing and coring for others. A psychology major, Anne worked two years in a psychiatric clinic before coming to school. Her love for animals also promp- ted her to work as an assistant to a veteri- narian for two years in her speciality — animal behavior. Anne ' s interest in psy- chology was more than surface-deep. Her father was a psychologist. Says Anne, It must be in my blood. Anne made several significant political stands in the community. She participated in The Brotherhood March through Forsyth County, and was an active member of Amnesty International, the organization concerned with releasing political prisoners. Anne also openly ex- pressed her views about the University ' s administration and faculty. They should be more racially balanced for -one thing, I think to have one token Japanese and no blacks is a slap in the face, especially in a progressive city like Atlanta. Anne thought that everyone should play some part or at least be aware of the politi- cal and social issues of the world. Recent- ly , she said I saw the movie Cry Freedom, and it really raised my consciousness. Everyone should see it. Also, I think music is sometimes the most incredible medium for reaching and teaching people, especially young people. 68 ADAIR - BUZZEO An Avid Fan. . . .Anne Mills watches the Lady Petrels in [heir first pre-season game.

As one of the few female Philosophy majors, Lyle said that choosing the major proved to be one of the foremost turning points of her life. A transfer from Louisiana State Univer- sity, Lyle said school never intrigued her the first year and a half. When I first trans- ferred, 1 still hadn ' t decided on a major. 1 just kind of discovered Philosophy. 1 took mtro and loved it. Now 1 ' m making A ' s in everything. When asked why she chose Philosophy, Lyle said because it ' s all encompassing. It digs beneath the surface and gets to the heart of what life is all about. Lyle said that she was more committed to her studies, but that sometimes the full course load became too much and she had to find different ways to relieve the listen to music. It ' s a catharsis, allowing me to relieve the pressure and to experience in two or three minutes the things a full load doesn ' t leave me time for. It ' s visual. Lyle ' s favorite music was classi- cal and folk. As well as listening, Lyle en- joyed playing the guitar. I ' ve played since 1 was ten. It began rather innocently, watching my brother play his. I began going to music stores, buying tapes, songbooks, and basically 1 taught myself. My first and only time playing in fi-ont of an audience came just recently, at the Night of the Arts. 1 performed with Patricia Hatch. I was a fittle nervous, but it was a good experience. Lyle was also involved with a host of other activities in school and out. She en- joyed sketcfiing and writing in her journal.

As on exchange student to Italy, Barry practiced the language and experienced the country ' s vigorous social life: the so- cial life was great! he said. Everyone walks. I got to meet a lot of people that way. Some friends and 1 camped out in western Europe, never staying in a hotel. We camped out under the stars — it was great. And living in Europe was living his- tory everyday, passing the same buildings that the Roman ' s built. Honestly, it was like stepping through a few centuries. It was this love for other countries and historical things that lead him to his major — History. History, he said, all history, makes me feel connected with things I going on outside myself. His international background also prompted him to join the International Club, of which he served as treasurer for two years. I wanted to meet other exchange students because there is always a lot to say just because of the mood another country gives you. Barry liked the feeling of community the club encouraged. It promotes together- ness. I feel a coherence in my life from being around the same group of people. ' So, by way of history, books, planes, and imagination, Barry Carswell found a con- necting flight to the rest of the world. 72 GALANEK - KENITH i Joe Helwig Accounting Flintstone, Georgia Rhonda Hickman Math Compuler Science Foirless Hills.

With a long history of achievements behind her, she had more than armed herself with the skills it would take to develop a career in a moving society. As a student, she was outstanding, hold- ing positions in four honorary fraternities — Sigma Tau Delta (English), Phi Alpha Theta (History), Alpha Psi Omega (Dramatic) and Omicron Delta Kappa (Leadership). Also among her honors was the induction into Who ' s Who. Rise ' s major accomplishment was drama. She had a major role in almost every play that she acted in: The Elephant Man, ' Vanities, ' Nuts, The Taming of the Shrew. 1 began acting in junior high school. Acting is an outlet. It gives me a much nee- ded break from school and studies. One of the ironic things Rise said was that in high school she always played the nice girls. In fact, she acted in Vanities in high school, but she played the part Leah Hughes did! ' 1 woiold have never been cast as Mary in Vanities in high school. In fact, many of my friends back home were i:| shocked that 1 played her here at Oglethorpe. It seemed that Rise had just the opposite problem in college. 1 would have never cast Rise in any other part than that of Mary. said Johnny White, a good friend of Rise ' s, and fellow actor. He con- tinued, 1 think it would be fascinating to see her play Joanne. It would really give i everyone an opportunity to see how talen- ted she really is. With her combined skills in writing and speaking. Rise planed to go into some form of communications. The summer between her junior and senior year she worked as a reporter for a local television news program in her hometown of NashviEe. The spring semester of her senior year Rise worked as an intern for CNN. When asked to whom she was most grateful. Rise immediately responded My parents.

But that seemed to be the way he wanted it. 1 hate cliques and putting labels on people. After all, people are just people. Why take pains to separate them? Michael said that part of this less critical, jnprejudiced view of people was a result jf his growing more mature, a process le claimed was helped by the two years he ook off from school to do active duty in the vlarines. 1 went for a lot of reasons. My 3ad was a Marine and it seemed exciting. Wso, I ' m very independent. 1 wanted to do hings on my own, like help my parents pay for my education. It was tough coming back after two years, being behind the classmates I came in with. But for the most part, my second time around proved to be the most im- portant. For one, I declared English as my major. Literature opened me up to the idea that there was more to life and edu- cation than learning facts. There ' s thinking about things, and trying your best to apprehend the non-apprehendable. Michael produced liis own literature. He had several poems published in The Tower. I ' ve been writing poetry since the el- eventh grade. Basically, 1 just write about things going on in my life and things in their association with other aspects of the world. Poetry is a vehicle. If it takes you somewhere, then it ' s done something of value — if it hasn ' t, then it isn ' t poetry. From a family, as he said, of Engish teachers, Michael would like to teach after he graduates. I ' m currently looking into a teaching job in Japan. I ' d also like to teach kids in the U.S., or teach American children abroad for the Department of Defense. Besides his intellectual pursuits, Michael was also very active physically. I like being outside much more than being indoors, either jogging, hunting, fishing, or working out. A vegetarian, he was also very health- conscious, and crazy about soc- cer. Hove soccer, it ' s very important to me. I ' ve been playing since elementary school. When asked what he would like people to remember most about him, he replied: That I wasn ' t just a dumb jock. And Michael wasn ' t. His multi-faceted lifestyle will be remembered for various other things. MauJdjn, South Carolina HajTodsburg.

She participated in several progrmas and organizations, and had more than proven herself as an all-around student. Some of her achievements inclu- ded being a two year member of Omicron Delta Kappa and Who ' s Who Among American Universities and Colleges. She expounded on some of the sources of her learning experiences, My studies ore important, and they ' ve contributed a lot, but I ' ve learned so much from being in various organizations, like Tri-Sigma. Leen, as many of her close friends call her, participated in many extra-curricular activities, including the yearbook and the newspaper. Kathleen also held many jobs outside of school. She was a vmting intern at General Electric, and held a position at a local Atlanta law firm. Working has given me responsibilities that 1 hope will make my adjustment to the real world easier. Also, as a Political Studies major, it ' s good ex- perience. I ' ve also gained a lot of responsibility in being a part of the Greek system — help- ing start Tri-Sigma, being President and then moving on to Panhellenic President. And after experiencing rush a few times, job interviews seem a breeze! After graduation I ' d like to take a break from school for a year, maybe travel a little, and then go to law school. Kathleen said that college has been the best years of her life, and she owes much of her happiness to my ftlends, my sorority sisters, and the brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. ROSTICHER - ZULAGA 79 : m i i 80 DR. PATTILLO As the months went by, and graduation day grew near, so did the summer. And with the end of the summer came the end of Manning M. PattiUo ' s term as president. But, Dr. PattiUo, his wife Martha, and his accomplishments are Not Soon To Be Forgotten Typing his letter of resignation was the lordest letter I have ever typed for him, jighed Mrs. Betty Wetland, Dr. Manning ' cttillo ' s secretary of two and a half years. . Weiland went on to tell of her great ■espect for this charismatic 13th President 3f Oglethorpe, recalling that Dr. Pattillo ' s vriting was always concise, deliberate, md to the point. This inherent quality of his vriting was carried over to his personality is well. Mrs. Weiland explained that this vQS reflected when she spoke to President attillo ' s grandson, who firmly introduced limself by the name that his grandfather :cills him — Robert; not Rob — because, .ast Minute Decorations, Dr. and Mrs. PattiUo add 1 few more bulbs to their tree before the guests arrive 3r their annual faculty staff Chnstmas party. as Robert put it, My grandfather does not like abbreviations. Dr. Pattillo ' s concise and deliberative nature was only part of a whole host of admirable qualities that had made him such an outstanding President for thirteen years. Students and faculty alike had used phrases in describing him such as earnest and genuine, consciously deliberative, and able to enjoy casual student activities at one moment and communicate formally with distinguished scholars the next. Long after August 1, 1988 (Dr. Pattillo ' s retiring dote) these qualities will still be remembered. Dr. PattiUo and his wife, Martha, plan to remain in Atlanta and continue their active involvement in community affairs. Dr. Pattillo serves on the boards of trustees at two other colleges and expects to devote a substantial amount of time to the affairs of those institutions. He and Martha also hope to travel more often than their busy schedules have allowed in the past. Leading Oglethorpe into the front ranks of colleges in the South was just one of the many accomplishments Dr. Pattillo hod achieved m his lifetime. Yet many other honors prior to his presidency, which began in 1975, deserve recognition. He received a B.A. ft-om the University of the South, Sewanee,- completed graduate studies at the University of California, (continued on page 82) The Lighting of the Christmas Tree follows the Boar ' s Head ceremony, annually Dr Pattillo follows the newly initiated members of Omicron Delta Kappa to Hearst Hall to watch the event. DR. PATTILLO 81 Manning M. Pattillo President Paul Dillingham Vice Presidenl Devebpmeni John B, Knott, 111 Executive Vice President Donald Moore Dean of Community Life Not Soon to be Forgotten Berkley, and holds a Ph.D. from the Univer- sity of Chicago. In addition, he has been acknowledged with numerous honorary degrees from many other colleges. With this in mind, it is plausible that President Pattillo has had ample opportunities to develop distinctive opinions about educa- tion, particularly a liberal arts education. He praises the kind of stimulating, open- ended education that Oglethorpe offers. In fact, President Pattillo considers his most valued accomplishment at Oglethorpe to be the rising of the academic aptitude of the students and faculty. While it is discomforting that such a well- rounded President as Dr. Pattillo will be retiring, it is reassuring to know that he and Ronald Carlisle Associate t ofessor of John Thames Dean Continuing Education Martha will be enjoying a well-deserved break. Perhaps they will even have oppor- tunities to spend more time with their daughter and two sons. But m regards to his thoughts for the future of our institution. Dr. Pattillo optimistically stated, I know that the years ahead will be a period of great achievement for the University. He was also quick to remind everyone that his last year could hardly be considered as completed already and he looks forward to working with both the students and faculty during the time remaining to make this the best year yet. We, as students of Oglethorpe, most typically attend the University for only four years. During this time, it is not uncommon for us to accumulate a countless array of: fond memories, many treasured friend- ships, and the knowledge to adopt newi perspectives, or at the very least, to readjust our old ways of seeing reality. Needless to say, we gain a great deal dur- ing our four years at Oglethorpe. President Pattillo summed up his ex-( periences here quite well and in a way that all of us can vividly understand: he said that he will have been here for thirteen! years — that ' s more than three times the exposure to these enlightening characteristics and people of old OU DG. jw 82 Administration A « Lane Anderson Direclor oi Drama, GSF Jeffrey Amett Assistonl Professor of Psychologv Nancy Bagg Development Keith Baker Director of Accounting Studies Lorenzo Bell Mainlenonce Patrick Berry Assistant Professor o( Accountinq Bonnie Bertolini Admissions Secretory Leo Biloncio Professor of History Barbara Blazer Director of Career Planning Placement Patsy Bradley University Nurse William Brightman Professor of English Linda Bucki Assistonl Dean of Adnurustrahon Henry Bunnell Ronald Carlisle Actmg Dean oi the Faculty Professor of Computer Science Keith Chapman Service Amenca EXreclor Columbus Chatman Supervisor Grounds Ten Cobb Accounts Receivable Supervise John Cramer Associate Professor of Physics Landing Daffeh Housekeeping Momodou Dorboe Housekeeping Perry Dement t rec1or of Alumni Qubs and Research Associate Development Harold Doster Director of Planned Giving Carol Duffy Community Life Secretary Anne McGinn Ennis Director of Public Relations John Ferrey t])irector of Data Ronnie Few Library Assistant William Gates Assistant Dean Continuing Educabon Harold Gersch Visiting Professor of Physics lanice Gilmore ANDERSON - GLOZER 83 I Vice Lisa Guthrie Audio-Visual Secretary Rotaract Cle Hall Secretary lo Exec PresidenI Bruce Hetherington Assoc Professor Economic!

Chi Phi Advisor Brenda Boyd Lead Housekeeping Shakespeare In 1984, Lane Anderson became a full time staff member of tfie University, replac- ing Dr. Victoria Weiss as Director of Drama. His first production with the Uni- versity was William Shakespeare ' s Taming of the Shrew. Mr. Anderson received his undergraduate degree at Berry College and moved on to the National Shakesp- eare Conservatory in New York. After assuming his position with Ogleth- orpe he began to actualize a long time dream — creating a Shakespeare theatre company. With college friend Richard Gamer, and a mutual business acquaint- ance Robert Watson, Mr. Anderson began to organize what is now called The Geo- rgia Shakespeare Festival. It took almost two years to organize the festival, making their dream a reality. During the summer of 1986, the festival produced The Taming of the Shrew and King Lear. I guess you can say we chose Shrew for the public, because it is a well known production. Lear on the other hand was chosen for the cntics. We knew they would take us more seriously if we tackled Lear, it ' s not the easiest play to make a success out of. told Anderson Added Gamer, We could have prod- uced another ' guarenteed ' success like Shrew, but we wanted people to know we were serious. The Georgia Shakespeare Festival did very well their inaugural season. So well, in fact, it was obvious they would be around for a while. The summer of 1987 was booked with Romeo and Juliet and Much Ado about Nothing. What about the summer of 1988? Well. we ' ve decided to have ' a season for all seasons ' producing A Mid-summer ' s Night Dream and A Winter ' s Tale. This year, though, Lane Davies (star of television ' s Santa Barbara, and the GSF ' s biggest box office draw) won ' t be acting in either of the plays. He ' ll be directing Mid- summer! He ' s directed many other prod- uctions, but this is his first in the south. f 1 84 GUTHRIE - MATTHEWS Raymond Kaiser Asst Professor Mathematics Nancy Kerr Assoc Professor Ps ' chology Joseph Knippenberg AssI Prolessor Poiilicoi Sludies Leigh Anne Leist AssI Dean Housinq Direclor lames Lovelace Benjamin Jones Carolyn Matthews Continuing Education Secretary Dennis Matthews Direclor Admis Romeo and Juliet, starring Came Preston and Peter Fitzkee, also starred Nancy Kulp (Miss Jane from TVs The Beverly Hillbillies).

Marshal Nason and son en]oy BSTV in the Bombshelter. For children of faculty and staff members of the University, being at Oglethorpe was A Fact of Life There were many students who claimed be Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine 3rats. Growing up under those circum- jtonces made for a very unusual life. But Dne hardly hears someone call himself a Jniversity Brat. But on campus there were nany children grovnng up. Probably the most recognized was David Taylor. David was bom m 1977. At hat time. Dr. Linda Taylor was an Assistant rofessor of English with only four semes- :ers behind her. It has definitely been an experience, says Dr. Taylor. . 1 remember teaching a :lass with him in my arms; feeding him his Dottle at faculty meetings. He ' s become quite involved in campus life over the ears. A lot of the students have gotten to mow him. In class they ' ve made paper planes for him; and snickered with him, Awhile he ' s making faces behind my back. If not in Hearst Hall waiting for his mom, le was on the tennis courts with Dr. William Brightmcin or Coach Phil Ritchie. (David ' s tennis skills earned him a second place rating in the Georgia State Ten and Under Boy ' s Championship.) He participates in a lot of outside activities: soccer and swim- ming, as well as tennis. I ' ve appreciated being able to have him here. 1 think this in- formal atmosphere is ideal for the working mother. The informal atmosphere proved to still be very convenient for working parents. Dr. Victoria Weiss and Dr. Phillip Neujahr testi- fied to that. Dr. Weiss said that raising a child m a university was still difficult, though. As Professor and mother I have two full-time jobs. It ' s been worth it though... all to have you monkey, monkey! she says, tickling her daughter Alison, who had been roam- ing around her mother ' s office, squealing v«th delight. The office was stuffed with professor ' s books, and baby ' s toys. Suddenly, mom grabs a book from off the floor and begins to read it to Alison. Spots... all aboard shouts... vroom, vroom..Oh, funny things she ' s done? asks Dr. Weiss looking up from the book. Well one time she walked into Dr. Thomas ' s class. Student Jennifer Amerson certainly knows what it ' s like to grow up on campus. Her father. Dr. Malcolm Amerson has been at Olgethorpe for nearly two decades. She admits though, that he didn ' t put her under pressure to go to school here, He left the decision up to me. Jennifer even took a class from her father! Dr. Amerson felt it was a beautiful experience. But I felt I had to work twice as hard. I ' d recommend it to anybody though. It was challenging. Jennifer agrees: It was difficult, at first, but 1 got used to thinking of him as a pro- fessor rather than my father. I never felt any different, except when my father would tell one of his stupid jokes and everyone would look at me! i MATTHEWS - POOLE 87 PHI Carolyn Proper, Assistant to the Director of Financial Aid, was a full time student, but took tfie job with the school to qualify her for the free education. Marilyn Memfield. Accounts Payable Payroll Super- visor, should finish up her degree within the next few semesters- Although working full time takes up o lot of time, Marilyn says its worth the benefits. Employees of the school receive A Free Education There were many opportunities for students to receive some kind of financial assistance with their tuition bill. And with the average rise in tuition being ten per- cent every year, students were always looking for a way to off- set the cost of their education. Some did it by scholarships, others by governmental programs. But for a few students, they took a full time job with the University in order to receive the ben- efit of free tuition! Carolyn Proper gave up her scholarship and her status as a full-time student to have the time to dedicate to a full-time job. But in doing so she was able to take night courses, working towards a degree and earn a real salary. The problem was that there were ' t too many positions available on campus that students without a degree were qualified to get. On the other side of the spectrum were employees of the school who were return- ing students, some who already had children and a life out of school but felt it was useful to continue their education. Manlyn Merrifield worked in the Busi- ness Office in the basement of Lupton Hall. Marilyn went to college right after high school, but never completed a degree be- cause of her marriage and the birth of hei children. Marilyn ' s youngest daughter i: now attending high school, and Marilyn Is finishing her requirements for a degree One of the main reasons she worked a Oglethorpe was to attend a quality institu- tion vflthout the burden of the high costs.

I grew up here, replied Registrar and one time student Paul Hudson. 1 used to live in the neighborhood and I used to listen to the University bells chime while playing football with my friends. I was what you would call a flower child. That ' s when the school was more socially conscious. It ' s Idnda weird because now I sometimes hang out with my old professors, like Leo Bilancio, who led me in to working here. Recent graduates Naomi Hamby and Hank Bunnell also have begun their careers at their alma mater. It ' s totally dif- ferent from going to school. says Naomi. There s a lot more responsibility of course, than there was in school, I don ' t feel like I ' m a part of the student body anymore. 1 in- teract with them in different situations now. As a counselor in Admissions, Naomi has her own office, and she gets to travel. I Hke it because I get to meet so many dif- ferent kinds of people. I love people. Hank Bunnell works in the Community Life office m the student center. Hank is also in charge of the Bomb Shelter, which he founded last year. He is also director of the famed BSTV. It ' s fun because, though I have a job, and am making money, 1 feel as though 1 never left. Library Assistant Ronrae Few graduated in 1975. With increased budget allocated to the library.

As port of her International Studies major Jennifer Gamblin spent the entire fall semes- ter studying abroad. She studied through a program with the American Institute for For- eign Studies in an International Business School in Saint Gallen, Switzerland. Preparing for her stay in the German speaking part of Switzerland, Jennifer took advantage of the cross-registration pro- gram by taking German classes at Emory University. While at Emory, Jennifer learned of an intense German language program offerred in Austna; Thus, I sketched out an eight month program in Europe, rather than just the five. Realizing the financial burden of the entire trip, Jennifer applied for vanous scholarships offerred to study abroad, and received one. My typical day consisted of three hours in the classroom, studying German, and then sunbathing on the banks of the Danube River or in one of the various parks — and no, they don ' t wear tops! ' On roiney days I ' d go to coffee shops to study or visit museums and churches — of which ' Vienna had many. No day was complete, though, without a stop at a wine cellar for a few hours, and then back home to study. ' Vienna offerred concerts, plays and op- eras nightly, enabling me to attend some of the best perfomances in the world! After spending the summer m this mten- sive study program, Jennifer spent a month backpacking around Europe — alone. 1 was a bit nervous at first, but I learned that it was very easy to meet fellow Americans, so I was very rarely alone. In September Jennifer arrived in Saint Gallen, Switzerland, where she met her host-family and the nine other students en- rolled in the program. My classmates were fi-om all over the United States; California, D.C., New York, and a fellow Atlantan. Every weekend, from Septemiber through December, Jennifer travelled through Europe on the Eurrail. Looking back on the entire experience, I find it difficult to pinpoint exactly which aspect I would say was my favorite: the filends I made, the places 1 visited, or the things 1 learned — not only fi om school, but also from the various experiences I en- countered. It was definitely an enlightening experience, a maturing experience. It is one that 1 think everyone should try to take advantage of before they begin life in the ' real ' worid.

Located on the bottom floor of the student center, just minutes from any dorm room, this haven was, to every student Easy Access Whether it was to watch an episode of BSTV, experience one of the live attrac- tions offerred, play video games, or just take a break from studying, students flocked to the Bombshelter every night of the week. With the drinking age being at twenty- one, students found it difficult to experi- ence Hotlanta due to the fact that less than twenty percent of the population was Legal. Most of the bars in Atlanta wouldn ' t allow anyone under twenty-one in, even if they just wanted to dance. And the establishments that allowed minors ir to dance were usually teen centers. Need- less to say, Oglethorpians weren ' t ven comfortable going to a place that sixteen year old high school students were hang- ing around. This was one of the factors that lead tc the success of the Bombshelter. Every nigh ' there was some type of entertainment Various movies took up most of the sche- dule.

Oglethorpians were inundated with fun- draisers. Organizations from every aspect of campus life tried to raise money in all sorts of ways. The women ' s soccer team raised money for uniforms by selling raffel tickets, Amnesty International raised money to send Christmas cards to political prisoners, SAE sponsored pictures with a Dutch Saint Nick during the Christmas Dance, and for Valentine ' s Day Tn Sigma sold balloons. Said Sigma Sister Jennifer O ' Brien The fundraiser went surprisingly well, and I never want to see anothr bal- loon in my life! One of the most memorable fundraisers was Chi Phi ' s Kiss the Bull Dog Contest. ' Every Greek president had a collection cup set up on the table outside the cafet- eria, the one whose cup had the most money had to kiss the bulldog. Chi Omega president Liz Morey won the honors, and kissed the dog in the cafeteria. One of the more popular, and suc- cessful fundraisers was the French Club ' s food sales m Hearst Hall. People from all aspects of campus life purchased the var- ious desserts sold by Madame Bennett and French Club members.

Smythe did law enforcement, munitions security, counter-terrorist oper- ations, wargames, etc. He also pushed mops, scrubbed latrines, suffered many in- spections, and cheerfully did the most stupid, mundane task that only the Army could think of. ° Smythe, during his second semester, began participating in the co-op program with IBM. He came to Oglethorpe after attending Georgia State University for two quarters, discovering that the commuter system was not his style, ffis experiences with the Army took him all over Europed: West Germany, France, Belgium, Holland and England. While at Oglethorpe, Smythe dis- covered that Senior Patncia Hatch was stati- oned in Germany the same time as he. But they don ' t recoil meeting, even though they know some of the some people.

Work-study, the program in which students work while studying at school to pay off a portion of their tuition, was viewed in difierent ways by different people. For some students there were many advantages. 1 like the convenience of having the extra income and not having to work off campus. said dormitory resident Kym Ford. Work-study students also developed close relationships with their employers and other co-workers. Said LaDonna Barros, an employee of the University Communications Center, I love my boss. She ' s very understanding and friendly. We ' re like one big happy family. Once, our boss even invited us all over for dinner at her house one Sunday.

Feelings about attending the same school as a brother or sister ranged from excited to nonchalant. As Junior Chnstme Merman said of fellow student and sister, Stephanie Merman, I ' m glad she came. Now I ' ve got my best fnend with me. We ' ve always been close, and we still are. ' We live only two doors down from each other in the same dorm. And we share a plethora of activities, which includes the Poor Girls. Brothers Jim and Hoist Beall admit that they don ' t spend a lot of time together although they are m the same fraternity. When asked what he admired most about fiis big broth er, Jim jokingly replied, He has a car. And, although big brother The Mermans. Christine and Stephanie, only one academic year apart, enjoy the nice fall weather. Hoist described his treatment of Jim as How To Avoid Your Younger Brother At School, the two were seen freguently enough, walking and talking with each other. Freshman Jill James is pretty matter-of- fact about her relationship v th her older brother, Tom: He ' s not the reason I ' m here. 1 came because 1 liked the school, and because 1 received a scholarship. Also, 1 didn ' t think it would be fair to him to come here. We eat lunch and dinner to- gether everyday. But other than that, we really don ' t see each other much. 1 knew a lot of people here, before I came, so when 1 got here 1 expected to be known as Tom ' s sister. But it wasn ' t so bad. I ' m in Tri- Sigma and 1 am an SAE little sister, so people know me for ' me ' now. Talking in the parking lot of the Emerson Student Center, Tom and III! lames la Senior and Freshman, respectively) find a chance to chat SAE Brothers as well as blood related.

If there was a lack of some sport being offered students could always participate on a club team. The Lady Petrels Soccer Team made their debut as an official unoffi- cial representative of Oglethorpe, competing as a ' ' club team against various other club teams and some times sparing with other colleges.

New Freshman Talent Drove the Petrels Up In Defense The soccer season was marked with exuberant talent and continuous im- provements. On the offense there was a good number of goals scored and a lot of near misses accompanied with good execution of the one- two pass and excellent ball control. The defense was more aggressive allowing little penetration by the opposition; no more than 2 goals were scored by opponents in 11 out of 17 games. The Petrels accom- plished 7 wins (4 shut-outs), lost 7, and tied 3. On the field, after the whistle blew, the Petrels usually played a 4-3-3 con- figuration. The goal-keepers, Mike Galyean or Karl Hansen(124 saves), directed the defense from behind and saved attempted goals using their acrobatic skills coupled with the willingness to extend themselves into a dangerous situation. Henry Broitman, Bruce Grain, Eric Hartman, and others took care of the defense. ' Wait a minute, the opposition has the ball and they ' re inside the eighteen. There ' s the shot. Out of nowhere comes Bruce and heads the ball back into the field. No goal. Petrel ' s posses- sion. ' Forward Mid-fielder Jay Tate (4 goals) created open spaces and isolated him- self on the wing thanks to his speed. Mid-fielder Jeff Amon stunned the opposition by his dribbling skills. Up front, Walter Schell, an exceptional shot came out of the season with 5 goals and 5 assists. On the sidelines Dr. Pattillo cheered on as he shaked the official Petrel ' s noisemaker, the rattling milk bottle. Peter Conrady (12 goals and 6 assists) scored in 9 of 16 games that he played. You can always rely on Kurt when the team is down a few. Kurt had 2 of the 3 goals in the Millsaps game, even though they lost that one.

This idea began with a group of athletic girls who desired to compete on the inter-collegiate level in soccer. And it existed on campus for a few years, but bloomed into reality under the guidance of Juanita Galindo. Having been experienced with establishing other women ' s soc- cer teams, Juanita immediately Set the Ball Rolling The women applied to the OSA for a club membership and an initial amount of funds to purchase uniforms. Both of these requests were gladly granted to the team. In addition weekly prac- tices were set up complete with four committed Coaches Juanita Galindo, Jay Tate, Andy Geeter and Eric Smith. To further their goal as an established and self-supporting unity the women organized several annual fundraisers to complete the purchase of their uniforms and soc- cer equipment. One of these Fundraisers included a Florida trip give away donated by O.U. Alumni Association. Juanita set up several exhibition games for the fall to warm up the girls and the campus to the essence of women ' s soccer; and established a soccer schedule for the spring of 1988 as their first official season. As of mid-fall of ' 87 the team had currently competed against many prominent teams some of which were Mill Saps College, Jackson, MS. and Agnes Scott Atlanta, Ga, showing they have the edge to be winners. The team is made up of 22 girls with Heidi Dawson as captain and Jacqi Driscoll as co-captain. The club aspect of the team consists of the same girls with Heidi Dawson - President, Jacqi Driscoll - Vice President, Beth Morrison - Treasurer and Melanie Berman - Sec- retary, with Juanita Galindo as Advisor and Head coach. The women of this soccer division have an immense desire to not just learn the game of soc- cer but to play at a competi- tive collegiate level with the O.U. Petrel spirit. And with the active support of the Oglethorpe adminis- trators - this O.U. campus may soon be bequeathed with a varsity women ' s soc- cer team HD.jw Angie Clem, Jennifer Amerson, Connie Duque, Jacqi Driscol, Heidi Dawson, Chris Coffin, Stephanie Merman, Charis Anclrews, (bottom row) Delana Sny- der, Katie Grrigan, Mary Jane Stuart, Lisa Dinapoh, Kerensa Shoemake, Jill Kaminski, Beth Beck Morrison, Emily Yen iecky Marasia, and WOMEN ' S CLUB SOCCER 123 Spiking the ball Clive Marsh and Brian Buzzeo both attempt to get the ball in the game against the SAE Purple team as Alberto Barring prepares to return.

The other scoring runners were Mack van ' t Reit, Ilth; Richard Briggs, I2th; Jon Perry, 23rd; and Mike Swin- ford, 47th. Becky Marasia finished 1 8th in the women ' s division. The District Championship in Jacksonville was held on a poorly marked course on the University of North Florida campus. The exceptionally dry weather made for even more loose sand than usual and resulted in a very challenging course. UNF, which is ranked third in the nation, dominated both the men ' s and women ' s races, finishing with a perfect score of 15 in the men ' s race. Berry was second with 63 points. Flagler College third with 73, followed by Oglethorpe with 99 and Edward Waters College with 126. In the best individual effort by an Oglethorpe runner in several years Mack van ' t Riet passed two runners in the final mile to place II th overall in a time of 27:22. This performance qualified him to compete in the NAIA Nation- al Championship which was held at the University of Wisconsin Parkside.

Panhellenic Bid Day brought 33 new women into the Greek system, 18 pledging Chi Omega and 15 pledging Sigmo Sigma Sigma, Both sororities were pleased with the outcome of Rush, as the total number of Greek women more than doubled, Panhellenic president Kathleen MoDermott commented, Although I ' m a little disappoin- ted thot so many women dropped out of Rush, I still find it promising that more than twice as many women accepted bids as in post years. I think that ' s o compliment to the Greek System. Fraternity Rush was also successful, begin- ning with a dinner at the Pottillo ' s as well. Later in the week each house sponsored o dinner [often prepared with the help of little sisters] for the rushees.

Chris believes that the fraternity ' s top goo I was to teach the importance of brotherhood to the newer members and for the older brothers to learn more about brotherhood. Among the activities of the fraternity were camping trips to north Georgia in both the toll and the spring and a skiing trip to Gatlinburg in February. New brothers were initiated of the beginning of spring semester. Delta Sig was visi- ted by a notional consultant in February who gave the fraternity ideas about fundraisers. : .:r5 154 A S 4) r Brothers and Pleges: i e Marsh, Mike Sandlofer, Chris rreot voikni ifJt t [briint, Don Lombardi, Mike Swinford, Ctott len Jx indi 3Ch, Willy Williams, Richard Briggs.

KA, with a spruced up house on Lanier, held a successful rush, adding five new brothers to their membership. This addition brought the growing chapter to o total of twelve members. There seemed to be benefits in membership within an up-and-coming organization, as ex- plained by pledge Mike Fish, Pledging KA gave me the opportunity to develop and ex- ercise rriy leadership skills. Under the leadership of Jonathon McLeod and transfer student, Greg Patterson, KA worked hard to firmly re-establish their chapter. The de- dication of the chapter members had been the key to their success. As brother Gabriel Arango explained, People hove worked hard; this means something to us. I know it ' s meant a lotto me to see some-thing turn from near-ruin into a strong and proud fraternity. The brothers, however, were not all work and no play. The ' Mansion, as it was called, hosted open and private parties, mixers with the Chi-O ' s and Tri Sigma ' s, and other impromptu gath- erings.

Their endeavors paid off — the foil ajsh hod been the most suocessful in many years, receiv- ing twelve pledges, almost doubling the size of the chapter! Their annual theme parties also had a fan- tastic turn out. The Boxer Rebellion, and War and Peace parties were well received by the student body attending. 2 A E 159 X |) Good Morning America!

If he wanted to learn about diferent cultures he could join the In- ternational Club, the Orient Club, or the French Club. Now, lets say he wanted to gain a little more know- ledge about a field of study, possibly his own major — there was the Economic Club, the Accounting Club, the English Club, and Psi-Chi (the psychology sociology club). There were also a various amount of honoraries that Oglethorpians could be asked to join. Among the most prestigious were Omicron Delta Kappa and Who ' s Who Among Stu- dents in Colleges and Universities. But no matter what the student ' s in- terest were, whether it be studying, serving the community, working on a publication (like the y3irmicra.w), or meeting to debate with the Thal- ians,there was always an organiza- tion he could find that would fulfill his needs picture perfect ly.

I 162 ORGANIZATIONS DIVISION Thursday, March 29 — the deadhne for declaring candidacy for the OSA race — ar- rived with five Oglethorpians having en- tered the race for President. Gary Hand, with one year of senate experience, Tom James, with one year in the senate and one in the executive council, Frank Lawton, with one year in the executive council, Kevin Walmsley, as a first time OSA pros- pect, and Johnny White with two years of Senate experience fought to gain support in the battle for the presidency. The election, held on April 16 and 17 narrowed the can- didates down to Sophomore Gary Hand and Junior Johnny White. Thus they began a head to head race for the run-off, from which Gary emerged victorious on April 20. The most competitive of the races was the secretarial race between Nicole Caucci and Scott Haight. In the end, Scott gained the office by a mere two vote margin with 106 votes to Nicole ' s 104. Scott Spooner ran unopposed for Vice President, Renita Rocker was elected parlimentarian, Tom Johnson was elected treasurer, Zac Moretz was made Sophomore Class President, and Brent Bishop was re-elected as the Presi- dent of the Class of 1988. Freshman elec- tions were held in the fall, when Amanda Paetz was elected president. She received over 50% of the votes in a four person race — a feat that rarely occurs. This completed the OSA government, which was to pro- vide excellent leadership for the entire student body.

This group, know to Oglethorpians as the Oglethorpe Christain Fellowship, not only provided its members with singing, fun and fellowship in the Tuesday night meet- ings, but also met throughout the week for small group Bible studies. President, Stacy Gates, along with the other officers; Vice- President — Randy Padgett, and Secretary — Amy McGown, worked hard to plan fun and meaningful activities to break the monotony of the semester. The OCF began the year with a watermelon social to welcome new members to the OCF family. They also spread Christmas spirit (which was pretty hard to catch in the midst of exams) by Christmas caroling down Woodrow Way. Perhaps the best way to describe OCF was, as member Lauri Epps said, OCF was friends supporting friends.

RELIGIOUS 167 1 Service w a Smile Those students who were interested in service organizations had three options: Rotaract, Alpha Phi Omega, and Circle K. These clubs were active throughtout the year in many service projects that benefi- ted both the school and the community. Rotaract, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Atlanta, is an international service club. One of their many international projects was to donate a collection of university catalogues from around the world to the Library. As a community project, Rotaract sponsored one of the most popular service events: the annual Trick-or-Treat in Traer. For the third year, students en- joyed providing a safe and fun place for children from the community to trick-or- treat. Alpha Phi Omega, the largest national service fraternity, pro-vides Oglethor- pians with a more intense life of service. They met every Sunday evening to plan the numerous events that they did throughout the year. Among these projects were three blood drives, held in conjunction with the Red Cross. They also worked with the Boys Club of Atlanta and on National Service Day they raked yards from nine a.m. until six p.m. to raise money for a charity organization. Circle K sponsored by the Klwana ' s Club, worked with the Special Olympics and participated in many intramural sports. Of these organizations, there seemed to be at least one that could fit into any Oglethorpian ' s schedule. For the very act- ive person, Rotaract fit in nicely. For the person willing to dedicate most of his time to a group there was APO. And Circle K seemed to be somewhere in the middle. So, no matter what kind of hectic schedule a student had, he could always find a way to serve. CIRCLE K — Rachel Fowler, Lisa Quinn, Sherry Wil- son, Corey Kenith, Tina Seger, Ava Salerno, Missy Yahn, lacque Gentry, Denise Mont, Scott Allen, Will Freeman, Rick Robins, Sam Mehsen, Kevin Walmsley, Chris Frost, Mike Clance, |oey Masdon, and Andy Geeter...

During the course of the semesters, when students had a problem of any kind, the resident assistants were there to help. In fact, they spent many hours working tirelessly throughout the year to make the dorms comfortable, safe, and fun places to live. They originated such things as the spirit competition between the different floors of Traer, and birthday parties at the end of each month to celebrate these important dates for each girl. The resident assistants scheduled many informative seminars on subjects such as stress, nutrition and fit- ness. They showed their dedication and committment to each and every resident of the dorms by making the year a smooth and pleasurable one for everyone.

RESIDENT STAFF 17i In The Spotlight Under the direction of Lane Anderson, the Players presented three plays: Vanities, Nuts, and The Ant and the Grasshopper. Vanities, presented in the spring, was done in the round; the members of the audience were seated on the stage. This en- abled the audience to experience the full emotional effect of the play. Natalie Farr, Leah Hughes, and Rise Nachman por- trayed three childhood friends who grew up to learn the realities of life. They performed just feet from the audience, thus drawing the audience into involve- ment with the story. The fall production, Nuts, gave the Players the opportunity to portray roles that combine intense drama and light comedy. Patricia Hatch starred as a troubled woman accused of murder, strug- gling to prove that she was not insane. Tym Briggs, as prosecutor, and Darryl Wade, as defender, both gave brilliant perfor- mances. The parents were played by Joey Masdon and Rise Nachman. The cast was completed by Chris Scott as the expert wit- ness, Sherry Wilson as court reporter, and Mark Wilson as court officer. The stage manager as always was the faithful Kim Rouleau In January, the Players again thrilled audiences with their Children ' s Theatre production of The Ant and the Grass- hopper. This production toured to various schools, and delighted the many children who watched the play. The Players demon- strated tremendous talent in every produc- tion, and provided Oglethorpians with ex- cellent entertainment. Another facet of entertainment available to Oglethorpians is the critically acclaimed Oglethorpe University Singers. The Sing- ers dedicated their noon hour Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to practicing for their various performances. The Singers performed at the Boar ' s Head Ceremony, Capital City Country Club, and Norcross First Baptist Church, among many other places. Under the direction of Dr. Irwin Ray, the Singers did a marvelous job in ex- panding the cultural opportunities avail- able to students. The Pep Band provided music for each home basketball game. The enthusiastic music helped raise the spirit of the fans while providing background music for the cheerleaders.

Regardless of whether or not a student chooses to participate in sports and fraternities sororities, an extra addition to many an agenda includes the English club, the Economics club, the Psy- chology and Sociology club, and the Student Education Association. Although each of these groups is based upon the varied interests of its members, what they all have in common are a combination of academic and social activities ranging from guest speakers, lectures and seminars to social gatherings and parties. Throughout the year, speakers are invited to promote the intellectual understanding of numerous topics and they bring with them experience and insight often needed to in- spire and educate club members. But membership in these organizations is not only an academic affair; each group holds its share of parties where students are able to meet other Oglethorpians who share the same academic major and whose interests run along a common line.

CO-CURRICULAR 175 ] 176 HONORARIES More Than An Honor There are numerous organizations designed to honor students for high standards and achievements in various areas of college life. The groups created to honor academic achievement in particular fields of study are Sigma Tau Delta, Phi Alpha Theta, Sigma Zeta, and Psi Chi. Sigma Tau Delta, the national Enghsh honor society, is made up of declared Engl- ish majors who have completed a minimum number of hours at the University, and who man tain a certain grade point average. One of their activities was to sponsor a lec- ture by the Dickens scholar and author of numerous books, Philip Collins. Phi Alpha Theta is made up of those in- terested in the study of history. Members are required to man tain a 3.0 overall GPA, and they are also required to have a 3. 1 in at least four history or histor ' related courses. For those interested in science and math, there is Sigma Zeta. This club en- courages excellence in the study of science by awarding membership to those students who had a 3.3 GPA in their science and math courses. Also, there is Psi Chi for those who achieved excellence in Psychol- ogy. Alpha Chi is the primary academic honor society. This club, which honors overall academic achievement, consists of a mem- bership selected by a faculty committee. Those students admitted to Alpha Chi were at the top of the academic ladder. Finally, Omicron Delta Kappa, is an honor society to recognize those who acheived excellence in every area. This is the most prestigous honor possible for Oglethorpians. The new members were in- ducted prior to the Boar ' s Head Ceremony on December 4.

Nonetheless, the work was com- pleted. Many long hours were spent writ- ing and editing stories, taking and develop- ing pictures, creating layouts, selling ads and computerizing the text. Even with the latest addition to the staff, a specialized computer designed exclusively for year- book data entry, the long months of work were not made any easier. The yearbook itself was not the only responsibility of the staff; hand raisers such as the Miss Ogleth- orpe Pageant and the finals week survival kits were other year-long projects. Instead of meeting only three yearly deadlines, the Stormy Petrel staff worked diligently throughout two semesters to keep up with their fifteen deadlines — deadlines which ensured the publication of the University newspaper every two weeks. The Petrel staff remained busy vdth numerous interviews, thorough research for each story, and many rough drafts prior to the final copies which were printed in the paper. Pictures were taken and layouts were pasted up before each deadline. Another important publication on campus was The Tower, Oglethorpe ' s lit- erary magazine. The staff encouraged all students to submit poetry, prose and art- work. Students could have submitted sev- eral entries before The Tower staff selected the best two or three entries from each per- son. Contests were also held for all sub- missions to the magazine.

Run by Studs One of the most popular types of groups on campus was the student run or- ganizations. These clubs included VISTA, the Bomb Shelter, and the Karate Club. Students supervised every aspect of the groups and their activities. VISTA was an acronym for Volunteers In Service to Admissions. This organization worked closely with the admissions staff in the recruitment of new students. VISTA arranged overnight visitations and campus tours for prospective students. Members called the eligible students and assisted with special events such as SpringFest and Atlanta Day. The group called the Bomb Shelter got its name from an activity room at the Stu- dent Center. This room, formerly a confer- ence room, was remodeled and decorated by students to resemble a WW II bomb fal- lout shelter. Those in charge of the Bomb Shelter scheduled regular movies and ran the snack bar for the eating enjoyment of its visitors. These students also created and produced a popular on-campus video series called BSTV. The first Annual BSTV Ac- ademy Awards was held in the Bomb Shel- ter. The Karate Club met regularly to discuss and practice karate skills. This club was open to those with all levels of karate ex- perience, and offered beginners the chance to improve their karate moves.

STUDENT ORGANIZED 181 T spreading The Word Endeavoring to spread international un- derstanding, the French Ckib, Interna- tional Club and Orient Club had rather busy agendas during the past year. In November, the International Club sponsored their annual International Night, inviting people from all over Atlanta to experience the various new cultures and fine cuisines offered by its members. This community project was not the only benefi- cial activity offered by the International Club; it enabled students from various backgrounds (and countries) to meet and lessen the cultural shock of coming to America, as well as giving Americans a bet- ter opportunity to meet foreign students. The French Club began sales of Advent calendars in November. Their goal was to raise money for a scholarship fund — help- ing an Oglethorpian go abroad to a French cultured country. In December, the French Club had a bake sale that also profi- ted their fund. The Politics and Pre-Law Association was not actually spreading international understanding through various projects, but they did sponsor several lectures and seminars on such topics that involved foreign affairs. The PPLA endeavored to help Oglethorpians interested in further- ing their education in Law, find informa- tion, and prepare to take the LSAT. POLITICS AND PRE-LAW — Rise Nach- man.

This honor gives the students national recognition for being campus leaders while maintaining a high grade point average. Our twenty-two honorees were recommended by a nominating committee of Oglethorpe faculty, students, and adminis- trators. The committee based their recommendations of these upperclassmen on academic achievement, leader- ship and participation in ex- tracurricular activities, service to the campus community, and good citizenship.

WHO ' S WHO 185 Ads More than 75% of all Oglethor- pians worked somewhere to earn a little extra spending money. Most everyone on financial aid had a work study job, and if that didn ' t offer en- ough money there was always Macy ' s or Mick ' s. Once tuition was paid off, Oglethorpians knew of hundreds of ways to get rid of some extra dough. Movies seemed to be a popular way to spend a lot of money fast — the aver- age movie theatre in Atlanta charged five dollars! Once you were in the lo bby, popcorn and cokes would add another ten dollars to your total spending. But most money spent by students went to some kind of food es- tablishment. If it wasn ' t Pizza King, Primo ' s or Domino ' s students left campus to McDonald ' s, Del Taco or the newly remodeled Oglethorpe Burger King. But no matter how they spent it, or where, money enabled Oglethorpians to make life that much more picture perfect. Late night munchies.

Gary Hart dropped out of the presidential race after photos in the National Enquirer proved his infidel- ity with Donna Rice. OIlie North testi- fied about the Iran Contra affair. Pat Schroeder announced her decline from the presidential race in a tearful speech. Presidential candidate Joe Biden dropped out of the race after admitting that he had lied about his academic record. Supreme Court contestant number two, Douglas Ginsburg, lost his nomination after admitting to smoking marijuana. On a more familiar note to Oglethorpians, Eileen Stevens spoke in Lupton Auditorium about hazing — the cause of her son ' s death; the speech brought the speaker and many in the audience to tears. Amnesty International came to the campus, trying through many endeavors to enlighten students to their causes, praying for a world more picture perfect CLOSING 203 r Picture Perfect Television experienced the Yuppie invasion with L.A. Law and Thirty something, while music showed the diversity of popularity with Bon Jovi and the Beastie Boys creating the top two albums of the year. The Aca- demy awarded deaf actress Marlee Matlin an Oscar for her performance in Children of a Lesser God; and found no favorite of the year, split- ting the trophies among Room with a View, IHannah and Her Sisters and Plattoon. Snow White turned fifty, Jackie Gleason passed away, and Cher forced her way back into the spotlight with three movies, an al- bum and mega magazine covers. Overall, the entertainment industry found glorious success in revenues. Americans spent billions for cable t.v., theatre tickets, and video rent- als; all in an attempt to spend their quality time picture perfectly. 204 CLOSING CLOSING 205 T 206 CLOSING Picture Perfect On February eleventh, at ten-thirty, the switchboard was turned off, classes ended, and the administra- tion shut their doors. Oglethorpians from every facet of University life left what they would usually do on a Thursday to be done later, and headed towards the audtorium. The Ogle- thorpe Day festivities began in the auditorium where speeches were given and songs were sung. Dr. Linda Taylor was given a special gift from President Manning Pattillo honoring her for writing the new alma mater. Afterwards, people pa- raded down to the gym for further activities. Lane Anderson, Drama Director, put together a sensational program. The event was set in the Middle Ages — with king and queen, the gold knight, the black knight, and a variety of entertain- ment including jugglers and a chess match using living pieces! Through these endeavors, community life started off Oglethorpe ' s 1 54th year picture perfectly.
