Gibran Sometimes within ourselves . sometimes within someone else ■ ; ■ The person who loves you has picked you out of the great mass of uncreated clay which is humanity to make something out of, and the poor lumpish clay which is you wants to find out what it has been made into. But, at the same time, you, in the art of loving somebody, becomes real, cease to be a part of the continuum of the uncreated clay. And get the breath of life in you and rise up so you create yourself by creating another person, who, however, has also created you, picked up the you- chunk of clay out of the mass. So there are two you ' s — the one you yourself create by loving and the one the beloved creates by loving you.

John Updike f+ zsrw, $ mi ? A . . Sometimes we find ourselves have felt A presence that disturbs me with the joy Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime Of something for more deeply interfused, Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, And the round ocean and the living air, And the blue sky, and in the mind of man; A motion and a spirit, that impels All thinking things, all objects of all thought, And rolls through all things. Therefore am I still A lover of the meadows and the woods, And mountains; and of all that we behold From this green earth; of all the mighty world Of eye, and ear — both what they half create And what perceive; well pleased to recognize In nature and the language of the sense The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse, The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul Of all my mortal being. William Wordsworth Perhaps while we still have the time. The self-renewing man is versatile and adaptive. He is not trapped in techniques, procedures, or routines of the moment. He may be a specialist but he has also retained the capacity to function as a generalist. The self-renewing man is highly motivated and respects the sources of his own energy and motivation. He knows how important it is to believe in what he is doing. Enthusiasm for the task to be accomplished lifts him out of the ruts of habit and customary procedure. Drive and conviction give him the courage to risk failure. And not only does he respond to challenge, but he also sees the challenge where others fail to see it. For the self-renewing man the development of his own potentialities and the process of self discovery never end.

Homecom- ing proceeded according to tradition and included as usual the pep rally, bonfire, Big Name, parade and the football game. The dorms competed with their displays and despite the declining interest by fraternities, sororities, and organizations in general in building floats, the parade still marched through the streets of Troy. The Phi Mu ' s won the sorority competition with a float entitled Pick the Mississippi Delta Clean, while the TKE ' s captured the fraternity division with their float captioned Decision 72 and TSU By a Landslide. Chosen to reign over the homecoming activi- ties were Queen Kathy Meacham and her three attendants Janet Wilkinson, Christy Arrington, and Edna Deveridge. They were crowned at pre- game presentations of the Troy-Delta State game. The half-time show by the Sound of the South was a success, but unfortunately the Fri- day the 13th luck must have held and prevailed over the game for the Red Wave suffered a dis- appointing 23-17 loss to the Delta State States- men. Big Name for Homecoming Weekend was Chase. A large crowd appeared for the opening of the show, however, after the intermission and the announcement of the court, the crowd thin- ned out. Those who cared for hard-rock-jazz remained. - - - . !-• X M Mfl7i Pi 4 t m m r V.

The princess of Colchis saved his life once again when she slew her brother who pursued them in their flight to Jason ' s Argo anchored on the Black Sea shore. Jason returned victorious to Corinth and married Medea who bore his two sons. The Medea begins several years later. Jason, driven by ambition, renounces Medea to Wed Creusa, Young daughter of King Creon. In the heart of the abandoned barbarian wife, justice is fused to vengeance. When Creon exiles her from Corinth, end- less loathing for her perfidious husband drives Medea to inexorable revenge. Invoking her witchcraft, Medea sends Creusa gifts of a golden robe and crown which when donned cremate the monarch ' s daughter, as well as Creon who attempts to rescue her. Her final fury is vented when Medea slays her two sons and departs from kingless Corinth leaving behind her a Jason, broken, despairing . . . hopeless, friendless, mateless, childless, avoided by gods and men, unclean with awful excess of grief.

Spivey AEGEUS Doug Nelson JASON ' S SLAVE Steve McCaleb I read somewhere at sometime that all the world is a stage, yet it is amazing just how little most people know about the theatre. In an attempt to get an inside look at the spring production of the Playmakers, The Impor- tance of Being Earnest, I had a thoroughly enjoyable interview with a thoroughly delightful man, Mr. Chet Misner, an instructor of the Speech and Drama Depart- ment and the Director of Earnest. In the midst of the commotion in the Student Center we sat drinking coffee and discussing the steps involved in the production of any play. As one who knows little about the theatre I was particularly curious as to how the director selected one particular play over another. Chet Misner stated that he chose Earnest for several reasons. First, he stated, one must consider the season of plays. In other words, the Playmakers ' other two productions this year were Dark of the Moon and Medea, and it was about time for a comedy. The spring production is generally a Dinner Theatre in the Round and it is the sort of eve- ning which people come to enjoy themselves, not to think philosophy or to be serious. Mr. Misner seems to think that Earnest is the type of production which is suited to the type of audience here at Troy: an audience which revels in cute, post-victorian things. Finally, the people who attend the Dinner-Theatre tend to be older: thirty and above and tend to have a preference for older plays like Earnest. In talking with Mr. Misner I couldn ' t help but ques- tion him about an observation I had made while a stu- dent on Troy ' s campus — that being that the people associated with the theatre tend to associate together. Misner seconded my observation. Theatre people are a breed unto themselves if they are true theatre people. They are the type of people, he said, that if a Law- rence Olivier movie was to be shown on television at two in the morning they wouldn ' t miss it for anything. Theatre people are, he said, a special kind of people. Misner agreed, however, that on Troy ' s campus because of the actors ' cliche, the emphasis is too often placed on the actors themselves and not on the prod- uction as a whole. In the productions at Troy, the same kind of people kept reappearing he said. In Earnest, however, two parts will be played by students who have never before appeared in a Playmaker production: Alice McConkey and Myra Fell. An effort is being made to announce tryouts to the student body in general and in the Earnest tryouts, Misner estimated that about one third of those seeking parts were new to the theatre. Mis- ner ' s plans for the future include large scale plays to involve more students and thus expand the cliche. An Inside Look at the Production of EARNEST Furthermore, those students not selected for acting parts Misner encouraged to become active in other aspects of -the theatre: lights, props, construction of the set, etc. Misner believes that a student of the theatre should be able to speak intelligently about all aspects of the thea- tre, or as he puts it do more than stand on stage and support your ego. In discussing the development of a production, Mis- ner stated that four weeks prior to the casting, the direc- tor begins discussing a set so that by the actual time of casting, the set has been designed. After tryouts and casting, the play develops through two major channels: the director and the actors and the often forgotten tech- nical crew. The director schedules rehearsals at which the actors practice line reading, rough blocking, and finally progress to the fine blocking stage and the mem- ory period of the character development. In these rehearsals the actors learn accents and mannerisms appropriate to the individual characters they are por- traying. The final stage is the polish in which the comic timing and rhythm of the play are perfected. Mr. Misner pointed out that the director knows how the overall pic- ture has got to look and what type of characters he needs. In Earnest, Misner said, the play calls for two giggly women, two ingenious young men who are worldly and don ' t give a damn about anything, an old biddy who yells, a butler who offers comic relief, and a Reverend. The second channel of the play production, the technical crew, is responsible for building the set so that by the time the actors have progressed to the fine blocking period, the actors are able to practice on the platforms and walk through the doorways. Meanwhile the property crew is busy searching for major props. In the case of Earnest, it meant borrowing Victorian furni- ture from the people of Troy, and the construction of a workable fountain by Art Smith, one part of which was an old Rambler hubcap. Three days before the dress rehearsal, the light crew is put to work. They practice focusing and plan a light chart plan which consists of an aerial drawing of the auditorium, the stage, and the set. The light crew may work as many as seven hours at a stretch deciding on colors. According to Misner, the light people are a crazy breed. He says they work weird hours hanging lights after rehearsals as late as 3 a.m. The final stages before the actual production include a technical rehearsal and a few preliminary dress rehearsals in which the final touches of costumes and makeup are added. •f i ' l ■ R mm p- ]m mw [ II CAST Lane Doug Nelson Algernon Moncrief Andy Alsup John Worthing Stephen Long Lady Bracknell Kathy Dell Gwendolyn Fairfax Alice McConkey Cecily Cardew Charlotte Hall Miss Prism Myra Fell Merriman Woodi Ishmael Rev. Chasuble John Crook The effort that went into the production of The Importance of Being Earnest was well rewarded. The many hours of hard work on the part of the actors and the technical crew resulted in a production that was well done and well received by the sell-out audiences. Not only did the crew of Earnest delight the students at Troy, but they also travelled, catering service and all, to Fort Deposit and Clayton, Alabama to share this delightful post-victorian comedy. The Troy State University Playmakers are one of the few groups in the country which feature a travelling Dinner Theatre in the Round.

Director Phillip Kelly sought to add a little spice to the production by casting one of the most tal- ented and colorful melting pots ever. Patti Mitchell, an actress who had already established herself in former TSU prod- uctions was Anna Leonowens, the British school teacher, while the role of the Siamese monarch was played by Andy Alsup, Troy ' s drum major who had sought still another extra- curricular activity. The play had an added touch of authentic- ity with the casting of Yumiko Kirino, a young Japanese exchange student who made her debut on the TSU stage as Tuptim, a Burmese slave. Her lover, Lun Tha, was played by Ken Smiley, and the head wife to the King, Lady Thiang, was played by Susan Moncrief. The cast also included royal danc- ers, a harem of royal wives, and over forty princes and prin- cesses, played by the children of the faculty and citizens of Troy. The show demanded lavish treatment which was well provided by the crew of The King and I, the orchestra, the choreographer, Arthur Densmore, and the designer of the most elaborate set, Les Faulk. Les also created the bald cap made out of latex to cover Andy Alsup ' s hair. The efforts of these persons and others resulted in one of the most colorful and poignant productions ever to be presented on the stage of Troy State. rROY STATE UNIVERSITY School of Fine Arts Presents RICHARD ROGERS t OSCAR HAMMERSTEINS Cast CAPTAIN ORTON Eddie Ward LOUIS LEONOWENS J.

One of Puccini ' s shortest operas, Tosca is staged in Rome and deals with the lives, love and intrigue between Mario Cavaradossi, a painter, Floria Tosca, an opera singer, and Baron Scarpia, the evil chief of the Roman Secret Police.

To the upperclassmen it is a harsh reality. Dorm life can be termed a lesson in group frustration for problems do arise when attempting to house several hundred students in one building. First there is the problem of tak- ing a shower. Oh, sure, six stalls do provide a sort of variety but unfortunately after 20 people have used them all six stalls share the same icy water. And then there is the problem of noise. This obstacle can, how- ever, be overcome by a little ingenuity given the title of Assistant Director. His or her authoritarian power to campus has often stifled a party in session. And there are the other problems: the four flights of stairs, the washing machine that stalls, the dryer that overheats, the empty candy machines, the coke machine that delivers Mountain Dew without a cup, the cold tile floors, the dorm hours, the room checks, the heater that never quits, the heater that never starts . . . , . . . and then there ' s the life of the married student — as only the married student can tell it. mp IH| ! i ■ 9% 1 1 J 1 f_ 1 I M,- W X tf B Ws l Evarv Sunday Niflht At 8:30 XX .10 The Entertainment Committee of the Student Government Association is responsible for providing amusement which the students of TSU will enjoy — a difficult task if one considers the diversified tastes of the student body. This year the Entertain- ment Committee attempted to keep everyone satisfied with their choice of Big Names: the hard rock of Chase, the light show of Big Star, the country rock of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and the folk rock of Denny Brooks. The many movies sponsored by the SGA included Anne of a Thousand Days, My Fair Lady, Barbar- ella, Grand Prix, 2001, Bonnie and Clyde, Red Sky in the Morning, King Kong and the Dracula, Conqueror Worm, Marooned, Soldier Blue, and Reefer Madness.

In one of the better Big Names spon- sored by the SGA this year, Vince Vance and the Valiants paid a visit to Troy State University and brought with them the rock- ing rolling ' 50 ' s. And what a show it was! The Valiants came equipped with their slicked back hair, sneakers, rolled-up blue jeans, skin-tight pants, and dark sunglasses. In a performance that never lost the inter- est of the audience, the Valiants brought back memories with their rendition of such songs as Duke of Earl, Silhouettes, and My Boyfriend ' s Back. Several Troy State students got into the spirit of the evening and dressed to fit the occasion. SGA presented a bottle of Coke and a package of Certs to the best dressed — Pat Holladay — who without a doubt looked like a product of the fifties. The highlight of the evening came when one character, in an attempt to get into the act, jumped up on stage but was promptly put in his place on the floor by one of the members of the band. Vince Vance and the Valiants Bring Back the 50 ' s. ODK Chartered Omicron Delta Kappa, the most prestigious national honor society recognizing leadership in college men, established a chapter at Troy State University in an impressive ceremony on May 26, 1973. Founded December 3, 1914, at Washington and Lee University, Omicron Delta Kappa recognizes men who have attained a high standard of efficiency in the colle- giate areas of scholarship, athletics, student government, social and religious affairs, publications, and speech, music, drama, and the arts. ODK also serves to bring together the most represent- ative men from students, faculty, and administration in all phases of collegiate life to create an organization which will help mold the sentiment of Troy State on questions of local and intercollegiate interest. The men of Kappa Omicron, the previous men ' s hon- orary, worked diligently to secure a circle of ODK under the leadership of Mark Springer, President, and Dean Gary Branch, Faculty Secretary. Troy State is the first to receive a circle of ODK in Alabama in 23 years and only the third state-supported university to receive a chapter. Inclusion into ODK is one of the highest honors a college male might receive and occurs either during his junior or senior years.

Parking It seems as though every winter quarter, in the midst of the SGA elections, the problem of parking is brought to the attention of the students who are already well aware of the situation. Claims have been made to the effect that the problem is being resolved, however, it appears that there are still never enough parking spaces. Most grin and bear it but for the ingenious student who tries to resolve the problem by parking illegally, the campus police are always willing and eager to present him with a parking ticket. It can ' t help but remind one of the greeting card in which a graduating senior is grin- ning with his diploma in his hand. The caption reads: Congratulations on graduating from college . . . And wouldn ' t you know it, just when you had found a park- ing place. STEWART HALL ALUMN HALL CHANCE ?

In the early form the game took in India, there were pieces representing elephants, horses, chariots, and footsol- diers. These pieces have gone through innumerable transformations and (for those who don ' t know) today are known as Bishops, Knights, Rooks, and Pawns. For many Troy State students, their first contact with chess was in the form of the publicity Bobby Fischer recieved when he defeated Boris Spasky in competition for the World Champion- ship. Those amateurs who have been caught up in the recent wave of chess matches on Troy ' s campus and who have high hopes of someday claiming the world title might reflect on the fact that as early as 1958 Bobby Fischer secured his claim to fame when he won the United States Championship. Bobby Fischer was then 14 years old. v - 4i For many it was a first . . . their first experience with that white wet stuff that falls from the skies. At 8:30, students sat at their desks gazing out their windows at the flakes of snow which fell on Troy, Ala- bama, completely oblivious to the lecture notes their instructors were dictating. By 12:30 all classes had been canceled. Stu- dents gleefully put up their books and headed for the golf course where they spent the afternoon propped up on a dining hall tray and flying down a icy snowpacked hill. One student, exhausted by the slow climb up the hill commented that the SGA should consider erecting a ski lift. With the cold weather, out came the col- orful array of mittens and scarfs packed so long in moth balls. It was obvious that these Trojans were amateurs to the situa- tion, for whoever heard of carrying an umbrella in the snow, and who has ever seen snowmen like those built here. It seems like everything that should have remained open closed: the lines, the roads home, and worst of all the liquor store in Troy. We ' ll all remember the weekend: the wet blue jeans, the soaked shoes, the sore mus- cles . . . And let ' s not forget a tribute to SAGA for the hot chocolate and donuts they deliv- ered to the dorms. February 9, 1973 Snow Honors Day 1973 The Troy State University Honors Day Program was held on May 25, 1973 as a day to recognize those students who have excelled in the various scholastic opportunities offered by Troy State. The students who received awards were stu- dents who had demonstrated that they had diligently pursued the high goals they established for themselves, thus receiving the plaudits they received. President Ralph Adams views Honors Day as vital. He says that that the promotion of scholastic ideals in the future is predicated upon the recogni- tion of current academic excellence. In the Honors Day pro- grams, members elected to Omicron Delta Kappa, Spires, Adelphes, Phi Kappa Phi, and those chosen for Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges were recognized. The following also received awards: Phi Kappa Phi Scholastic Award: Damon Mills; Adelphe Honor Society — Outstanding Freshman Girl Award: Donna Louise Pittman; Gamma Beta Phi Scholastic Award: Charles Rankin Rice; Spires Honor Society Scholastic Award: Deborah Joyce Hocutt; Sigma Tau Delta Outstanding Senior Award: Karen Ellis; Bernard E.

The guest speaker was Senator Wilson of Ala- bama who encouraged the graduates to plan their future, to plow their own furrow. Governor George C. Wallace, accompanied by his wife and children, was on hand to present the diplomas to the graduating class of 1973. Included in the graduating class was Peggy Wal- lace, daughter of the Governor, and Margaret Lee, daughter of the Board of Trustees member McDonald Lee. The graduation ceremony included the singing of Paul Yoder ' s composition Hope for the Common Man which was dedicated to the Governor, and the dedication of two wings of Alumni Hall, the John Anderson and the James O. Colley wings. Governor Wallace read the resolutions naming the two wings and congratulated both men for their moral and financial assistance to Troy State University.

In 1962, he wrote the all-time bestseller on education, Suffer, Little Children. A speech he delivered in 1961, The Passing of the Patriot, has been described as the most con- troversial speech an educator has made in the last generation. Rafferty ' s first visit to Troy State was in the summer of 1970 when he delivered the commencement address, a speech that since has been reprinted twice. He has authored five books, and other writings by Rafferty have received recognition in several national publications. A lifelong career teacher and administrator in California schools, Rafferty is a graduate of U.C.L.A. and the holder of an earned doctor- ate in education from the University of Southern California and honor- ary doctoral degrees from Lincoln University and Brigham Young. - m Miss Betty Thomas, acting Dean of Troy State ' s School of Nursing, heads the recently established School of Nursing. From Laurel Hill, Florida, Miss Thomas attended Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, and Teachers College, Columbia University, New York. Her positions held included Clin- cial Instructor at Mather School of Nursing, Southern Baptist Hospital, New Orleans, part-time staff nurse at the Student Infirmary of Florida State University, Instructor-Assist- ant Professor at the School of Nurs- ing, Florida State University, and Director of Nursing at Sunland Hos- pital for the Retarded in Tallahas- see. Miss Thomas has been active in a number of organizations, and is also an Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing and Advisor to the TSU Student Nurse Association at Troy State. Miss Thomas ' publications include Rural Hospital Nursing — A Beginning Experience, in Nurs- ing Outlook. School of Business and Commerce The school of Business and Commerce is completing its sec- ond year under the leadership of Dean Clifford L. Eubanks. Five new faculty members have joined the staff and the imple- mentation of a new curriculum has been accomplished. A Master of Business Administration Program was initiated in January, 1973. The faculty has engaged in several research projects which have benefited the State of Alabama and the surrounding community. A quality education in Business and economics continues to be the school ' s goal. Mr. Rhett Butler (■Mi Dr. Rhae Swisher, Asst. Dean n Mr. Joseph Creek Dr. Wayne Curtis Mr. George Miner t Jl a it Mr. Wayne Mr. Eugene Dr. Rhae Swisher Patterson Sherman bs ksm ai i Dr. G. T. Stewart Mr. Robert Stewart Mr. Billy Walters Education and Psychology Department In a report released in mid-October by Dr. Max Rafferty, Dean of the School of Education, students were given an insight into the subject of teacher-employment for TSU graduates. It was stated in an alumnae letter that while many teacher-educating institutions are having great difficulty placing their graduates, Troy State teachers are still in great demand. Only those students who place rigid geographic location restrictions on them- selves find it difficult to find positions. Dr. Rafferty agreed that request for teachers have declined sharply during the past four years, pointing out that Troy State received over 13,000 requests for teachers in 1968-69 and only 3,374 in 1971-72. But despite the national drop in openings, school systems from all over the country are still coming to Troy to find teachers. Florida led the list of 26 states and two foreign countries requesting teachers from Troy State with 1,387 openings. Maryland was second in requests with 618. Alabama followed with 411, ahead of Georgia with 353 openings available for TSU graduates. The continuing scarcity of certified graduates in mathe- matics and science has resulted in a great demand in those areas, while majors in social science, business education, and English have the most dif- ficulty finding jobs in the geographic locations they want. 7 • Mr. James Anderson Mr. James Brantley Mr. Theron Covin Mr. Carroll Cumbee ft?i C5 K T fl Dr. James Mrs. Carol Lovelady Dr. Horace Nelson Mr. Charlie Parker Kimbrough Dr. Ralph Erickson, Asst. Chm. ORt Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Department Physical fitness is an important stimulus to mental activity. Through use of modern developmental processes in physical education, students are given excellent preparation for the future. Classes are offered in a wide range of health and recre- ational fields. A highly specialized program is provided for those who wish to obtain a major in Troy State ' s HPER Department. Aerospace Studies Department More commonly known on campus as Air Force ROTC, the department offers outstanding opportunities to young men and women who wish to serve their country as Air Force officers. A wide variety of subjects including the history and organization of the Air Force, the military justice system and national defense policy making are offered and molded with opportunities to practice the management, human relations, and leadership skills necessary for today ' s military officer. In addition to personal and academic rewards, students in the program are eligible for generous scholarships, subsis- tance allowances, and flying lessons. Upon completion of the program and graduation, the cadets are commissioned second Lieutenants in the Air Force and go on active duty to serve their country as professional, dedicated, and responsible leaders. Speech and Drama The newly formed Department of Speech and Theatre in the School of Fine Arts now offers a major in Speech and Theatre curriculum. The department is headed by Chairman David Dye who received his Ph.D. from Flo- rida State University in 1970. New to the department this year was Dr. Gerald Baxter who is responsible for organizing a debate team on this campus. Dr. Baxter was schooled in the field of interpersonal speech and his specialty is put to use in his courses of Oral Interpreta- tion, Phonetics, and Debate Forensics Participation. Mr. Chet Meisner, Instructor of Speech, is interested in public speaking and he has served in the capacity of director in several of the Playmaker productions on campus. The department is unique from many for it combines the educational courses offered with the opportunity to put the book learning to practical use in the Playmakers and the Debate Team. Dr. Robert Paxson, Department Chairman Mr. William Lower Mr. Edwin Walter Art Department During the year of 1973 the Art Department had monthly exhibitions of art work in the lobby of Smith Hall during the Playmaker and Opera workshop prod- uctions. The University Branch of the Farmers and Merchants Bank sponsored the Purchase Prize Award for Sculpture. Mrs. Beverly Turner won the purchase award and Mike Cline won the popular prize. This was the first year the art faculty awarded the Academic and Creative Excellence Award which was presented to Mitchell Caylor. Photography under Mr. William Lower has had a sig- nificant impact on the curriculum in 1973 campus wide. Dr. Paxton, the Chairman, is the current South East Regional Chairman of the Higher Education Division of the National Art Education Association. Music Department This year the music department of Troy State University was fortunate to have Dr. Paul V. Yoder, Past President of the American Bandmasters Associa- tion assume the position of Distinguished Professor of Music at TSU. Dr. Yoder is internationally known and has had more than 1400 of his compos- itions and arrangements published for band and orchestra. He is also noted for his work with the band movement in Japan and is considered by many Japa- nese to be the father of the band movement there. Dr. Yoder has served as an adjudicator, conductor, and clinician throughout the United States and many foreign countries. Changes in the Music curriculum included the deletion of Psychology of Music 313 as a course and as a requirement for majors and minors. Contempo- rary Music 404 will be offered in its place. One composition by Yoder entitled Hope for the Common Man was per- formed by the TSU Band on the steps of the State Capitol for the State Legisla- ture. The Band also released a record entitled 40 Years of Dr. Paul Yoder. Dr. Paul V. Yoder, Distinguished Professor of Music X _ if 3 v — -■■■ - 7 { I Mr. Philip Kelley Mr. James Mahaffey Journalism Department John R. Chamberlain, nationally syndicated columnist, assumed the position of Dean of the new Grover C. Hall Jour- nalism Program at Troy State University this year. According to President Ralph W. Adams, Mr. Chamberlain will be the Chief architect in establishing the journalism program on Troy ' s cam- pus. Although journalism courses have been taught at Troy for some time as part of writing programs, plans for the formation of a complete journalism school were announced December 16, 1971 by Governor George C. Wallace and Dr. Ralph Adams. The school will be named in honor of Grover C. Hall, Sr., Pul- itzer Prize-winning editor of the Montgomery Advertiser from 1926 until his death in 1941; Julian O. Hall, editor of the Dothan Eagle from 1924 to 1939; and Grover C. Hall, Jr., political writer and columnist, later editor-in-chief of the Advertiser until his death in September, 1971. During his journalistic career, Cham- berlain has served as editor of such widely circulated magazines as Fortune, Harper ' s, and Life. He held editorial positions on the New York Times Book Review, the Saturday Review of Litera- ture, Scribner ' s Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, and Barron ' s Magazine. The academic council has now approved a Journal- ism major, minor, and Journalism Education minor and has approved revisions of current courses and the addition of others. Mr. John Hamner Dr. Gary Mayer Mr. Bart Kennedy, Asst. Chm. Philosophy and Religion Department The Department of Philosophy and Religion, in its General Studies courses, seeks to acquaint the student, in an objective, historical manner, with the major philos- ophies and religions. The electives offered by the Department delve more deeply into specific areas of study — the Bible, Ethics, Theology, and Logic. Using a variety of learning techniques, the Department tries to get students to think critically about life styles. The Department does not yet offer a major but provides a variety of minors. School of Nursing In September 1972, 129 students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree program. Students enrolled in nursing courses participated in various events during the year. Some of the major events included: plan- ning and conducting a free diabetic screening clinic for TSU stu- dents and staff, assisting the Pike County Health Department in conducting a sickle cell anemia clinic in area schools, and setting up and manning a booth at the Health Careers Fair which was held on campus. Students were required to take a defensive driv- ing course, conducted by the State Highway Department, as part of a Nursing Intervention for Prevention course. The baccalaureate program graduated its first class of student in June, 1973. There were four students in this class. The Associate of Science in Nursing Degree Program admit- ted its first class of 59 students in September, 1972. The back- ground of these students is quite varied. In addition to students who have just completed high school, the class includes students who have worked in the capacity of ambulance driver, social worker, inhalation therapist, school teacher, chemist, L.P.N., etc. They range in age from 18-51 years with a grandmother or two in the group plus a mother-daughter team. Forty-nine students are currently enrolled in the program. The associate students helped man the booth at the Health Careers Fair. The associate program held its dedication ceremony on Janu- ary 10, 1973. Both Dr. Adams and Dr. Wilks spoke to the stu- dents during the ceremony. Students from both programs participate in the TSU students Nurses ' Organization. Physical Science Department The relevance of Physical Science may be seen in the fact that many of the problems confronted by society have resulted from man ' s unwise use of scientific knowledge and technology. The solution to these problems cannot be found in a single discipline, but certainly the chemists, the physicists, and geologists will contribute to finding solutions. The physical science department had no major changes in curriculum 01 faculty this year. The department was pleased to sponsor three lectures by Dr. Edward Teller, the renowned Nuclear Physicist. Dr. John Muller Dr. Billy Norman Mr. Eugene Omasta .. iLiJlkyy Dr. J. C. Wilkes, Chairman Dr. D. C. Mrs. Pearl Wilkes Widdowson Biological Science Department The Department of Biology maintained its status as a strong TSU department, with 8 of 9 faculty members with doctorate degrees. Significant and historical events included the acceptance of two girls and one black by medical schools, and the first Alabama graduates in the New Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium at the undergraduate level were two TSU marine biology majors.

In the past few years the Department of English and Foreign Languages has attracted one of the strongest faculties in the region and has developed programs and curricula which now serve as models for several institutions. The English and foreign language faculties are firmly committed to the goal of providing for TSU students the best possible language instruction. In doing so the faculty hopes to open new career horizons for the graduates. In the future, more foreign language and literature courses will be devel- oped to enable students to qualify for the important positions now opening in the international market. Mr. Curtis Porter Mr. Grady Post Dr. Duane Tway, Chm. 100 James B. Allen, Jr. SOCIAL SCIBMCE HISTORY History and Social Science Department The department of History has enlarged its faculty to pro- vide the university with courses in several fields which are most significant and useful to students. Added to the staff was Lewis M. Purnell, a member of the U. S. Diplomatic Corps. This past year Mr. Purnell served as Diplomat-In-Residence at Troy State University, spending several months on the campus where he lectured on politics, economics, and social changes. Troy State is one of only six universities in the coun- try which are a part of the State Department ' s Diplomat-In- Residence program. Also present on TSU ' s campus this spring was the former Governor John Patterson who taught a course in political sci- ence entitled Evolutionary Political Theory. The class met one day a week and was two hours credit. New to the curriculum of the history department was the 20-25 hour minor which was approved by the academic coun- cil fall quarter. Courses of special interest offered this year to students of sociology included Criminology and Social Prob- lems of Contemporary Society. tut — WW, Xtt, Mathematics Department Today, man is faced with problems which are different from those of any society of the past. The modern technol- ogy of today requires a higher level of mathematical train- ing than ever before. The Department of mathematics offers a wide range of courses which are designed to pre- pare today ' s students to function more effectively in today ' s world as well as give an excellent background for those who plan careers in teaching, industry, business, or engineering. Also, advanced courses are available to pro- vide preparation for those who wish to pursue graduate degrees in pure or applied mathematics. Mr. Bo Gaylord Mr. John W. Lee Mr. Charles Norris Mr. James O ' Neal Mr. Ray James Dr. Luck Watford Dr. Teller: Distinguished Visiting Professor Dr. Edward Teller, foremost American scientist in the field of thermonuclear physics, delivered his first lecture of the year entitled Theory of Relativity to TSU students, fac- ulty, and interested general public on October 31, before a turn-away crowd on the TSU campus. The former colleague of Albert Einstein and devoted scientist in the field of atomic energy, Teller gave his lecture in a relaxed style, fielding questions as he went to clarify his points. Teller expresses a great concern for the apparent lack of interest in American students for gaining knowledge in the fields of math and science. He also stated that he felt much of our research should be non-classified to enable more people to benefit from other ' s experience for progress. Currently director of the Lawrence Radiation Labo- ratory in California, Dr. Teller ' s major work at the present time centers around the elimi- nation of radioactive fallout from nuclear devices. The Hungarian-born American returned to TSU ' s campus for other lectures during winter and spring quarters. H §1 w Omasta and Schroeder — Teachers of the Year In 1971, the Ingalls Foundation of Birmingham estab- lished a trust fund to make an award available annually to the Troy State teacher chosen for having most dili- gently, effectively, cheerfully and outstandingly con- ducted his classes in the undergraduate schools of the University. A campus-wide vote nominates the teacher and a student committee makes the final selection with a plaque and $1,000 accompanying the award. Mr. Eugene Omasta was the first recipient of the award. The Troy professor has been an instructor in electronics at the Ordinance Guided Missile School in Huntsville and was for two years an instructor of Math- ematics at Snead Junior College. From 1965 to 1968, he was chairman of the science department, and instructor of mathematics and physics at Enterprise Junior Col- lege. He came to his present position as a professor in Physical Science in 1968, and received the Teacher of the Year Award for the 1970-71 period. The 1971-72 recipient of the award was Dr. Gertrude Schroeder. Dr. Schroeder came to Troy State University as an assistant professor of English in the fall of 1969 from the University of Cincinnati where she received her Ph.D. in English. Dr. Schroeder was promoted to the level of associate professor in Troy State ' s English Department in March of 1972. 1973 Teacher of the Year Dr. Sammy W. Ingram Jr., professor of chemistry, is the 1973 recipient of the Ingalls Award for Excellence in Classroom Teaching at Troy State University. Selection of the Outstanding Classroom Teacher is made by a committee of 16 students, representing all departments of the university. The Ingalls Award is the highest teaching award at the University. Dr. Ingram joined the Troy State faculty in 1965, after having served on the faculty at the University of Ala- bama and Jacksonville State University. He holds a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the Uni- versity of Texas and has done considerable research in the fields of organic and biochemistry. The Ingalls Award is presented annually to the teacher who has, in the estimation of the committee, most diligently, effectively, cheerfully and outstand- ingly conducted his classes or courses of instruction in the undergraduate schools of the university. Dr. Ingram is the third recipient of the Ingalls Award. With a little help from our friend A special thanks goes to Mr. Woodi Ishmael who generously offered to draw the following caricatures. Mr. Ishmael is an assist- ant professor of art at Troy State and the author of the nationally-syndicated column The Power of Faith. A world-known art- ist, Mr. Ishmael ' s most famous works include a portrait of Neil Armstrong, General George Decker, Army Chief of Staff 1962-5, and the first portrait of Mrs. Cornelia Wallace, Alabama ' s First Lady. In 1964, Mr. Ishmael was appointed the only artist to cover and illustrate the courtroom proceedings of the Jack Ruby trial. President Ralph W.

Basketball 1973 — a Year of Frustration and Disappointments A4 a is RflK IIY Coach John Archer came to Troy in 1956 having been offered a job as head basket- ball and tennis coach, line coach with the football team, and instructor in the physical education program. By 1960, the basketball program had been expanded to such pro- portions that Archer ceased his work with tennis and football squads to devote full time to basketball. In 1969, Archer ' s ability for selecting winners came to national attention when he was named to the United States Olympic Men ' s Basketball Commit- tee. He joined other collegiate basketball experts around the country to select the member of the team to represent the United States in the 1972 Olympics and the Pan-American Games. In 1973 John Archer retired from active coaching at the conclu- sion of the 1972-3 season closing out his 17 year career at Troy State with a 303-185 mark. He wrapped up his collegiate coach- ing career with a disappointing 5-20 record. Despite the poor season record, however, several individual players could boast of game highs. Charles Cornelius scored the most points of any one game in the season: 31 against Philadelphia Pharmacy. He also had the highest field goals made, free throw attempts, and field throw percentage in individual games. Steve Close had the high- est field goal attempts of individual game: 25 against Nicholls State, while Alonza Fer- guson had the most rebounds recovered in any one game: 18 against St. Bernard Col- lege. Named to replace John Archer was Wes- ley Michael Bizilia, a former basketball coach at Auburn University. Bizilia, him- self, has an excellent ability for finding tal- ented young athletes as well as having proven himself as an outstanding high school coach and major college assistant. Bizilia came to Auburn University for the first time when he accepted a position as a graduate assistant in basketball while he worked on his master ' s degree. After two seasons as head coach at University Mili- tary School in Mobile, he returned to Auburn and accepted a job as a fulltime assistant in basketball and recruiting until he was hired by Troy State University in February, 1973.

' jS tit All ■I 131 With a record of 15-12, the 1973 Baseball team com- pleted its season with the best record of the past five years. Perhaps it was due to the fact that the Red Wave coaches, after evaluating the talent on the roster, decided to step away from the conventional mode of play. Coach Joe Hollis chose a wide open offensive attack to counter balance the team ' s weakness in the pitching department. The team used a hit-and-run phi- losophy and double steals, while squeeze plays and bunts became the rule instead of an exception for this year ' s Red Wave. The team also proved to be stronger at the plate this year. Several team members proved outstanding in their performance. Don Walton, second baseman, was selected Eastern Division All-Star Team and All-Gulf State Conference. Jeff Vardo, a freshman pitcher and outfielder, was chosen All-Eastern Division. Larry Craig, the senior pitcher, was also chosen the All-East- ern Division. The coaching of Joe Hollis resulted in a winning 1973 season and Hollis was rewarded for his efforts by being named the Eastern Division Coach of the Year. Tennis The tennis team wrapped up the 1973 season unde- feated during regular season and third in the Gulf State Conference. The squad was chosen District 27 Repre- sentatives in the NAIA. Six of the seven team members will return in 1974, the only graduating senior being Larry Simpson. - m 73 TENNIS SQUAD: Front: John Pittman, Conner Vernon, Bill Snoddy, Bob Talley, Standing: Stanley Bentley, Larry Simp- n, Charles Close, BUI Morris. lb M % GOLF SCHEDULE TEAM LOCATION WINS, LOSSES Marion Troy W Chipola Olympia L Huntington Troy W Jacksonville State Troy W Montevallo Montevallo L Jacksonville State Jacksonville W Huntington Montgomery W Marion Marion W G.S.C.

The team completed its third year as undefeated in the Dual Meet Competi- tion, while John Anderson coached four team members to Ail-American. The mile relay team of Miller Wood- son, James Batie, Rodell Turner, and Charles Oliver placed second in the NAIA Championship with a Troy State record of 3.09, thus distinguishing themselves as All-Americans. Oliver and Turner were unique in that they are the first two freshman All-Americans ever selected from Troy State University and were named co- most valuable performers at the Troy Relays. Troy ' s infamous and almost dreaded mile relay team is high- lighted by Charles Oliver — called by some as one of the top quartermilers in the nation today, while Turner has made a name for himself as one undefeated in the 440 dash this year. Turner broke and reset the school record four times in that event, his best time for the 440 being 47.2 seconds. Turner was also the champion quartermi- ler at the Florida Invitational Meet where the mile relay team took first place. James Batie, the first black athlete on Troy State University ' s campus was Alabama ' s first three time All-American, one of the few in the nation to be so named. Batie leads the school records in the 50 yd. STATE and 60 yd. dashes, the 100, and the 220. He also shares records in the 440 relay and the mile relay. The only NCAA All- American from Troy State ever, James Batie was honored by the mayor of Troy who named Monday, June 4, 1973, as James Batie Day. Troy ' s track team placed well at the Florida Relays in Gainesville, one of the biggest track meets on the East Coast where 25 Olympic gold medalists were present. The team also placed well at the Escambia Relays and at Quantico, Virginia. The track team completed the season second in the GSC, missing first place by only nine points. The 1972-3 cross country team placed third in the GSC Division, third in the West Georgia College Invita- tional, and was undefeated in the Dual Meets. Art Dre- vins and Larry Davis were chosen All-GSC. In the line of field events, Andy Anderson was the only first place winner in the GSC competition. He cap- tured first place for his performance at the shot put. Two athletes qualified for the NAIA: Everett Morris (mile) and Art Drevins (three mile), however both were unable to attend. The news for 1974 is good news with the return of the two Ail-Americans Rodell Turner and Charles Oliver and the construction of a new all weather track. 1973 CROSS COUNTRY TEAM: Front: Bob MacLeod, Dennis Duncan, Mike Varnum, Rick Yadevia, Standing: Art Drevins, Everett Morris, Gary Koelsz, Larry Davis. k mm «J Intramurals and Extramurals: Something for Everybody. Year round there is always some sport to keep a Troy State University student busy whether it be football, basketball, volleyball, or Softball. For those who care to participate, the intramural and extra- mural teams provide recreation, sportsmanship, and competition. This year the nationwide women ' s liber- ation movement made its appearance on Troy State ' s campus in the form of a proposed budget suggesting more equalization of the allocation of funds to the women ' s extramural teams. The debate resulted in several editorials printed in the Tropolitan in which the Troy State women voiced their concern over the situation. The women ' s extramural program is not, said one TSU coed, an occasional game or casual tilt, but rather is an entirety in its own, with regu- larly scheduled games and matches with in and out of state colleges and universities. The women ' s ath- letic program would, said another coed, encourage and promote women ' s intercollegiate sports that are educationally oriented, philosophically sound, and physically and emotionally sound. £. rganuatt0tt SGA President, Tolly Kovac The President of the Student Government Associa- tion, Tolly Kovac, began his year as president with plans to make the SGA a working organization on this cam- pus. Yet again this year a major complaint of the stu- dents was the fact that the SGA remained an ineffective organization. Unfortunately the efforts of those who wanted to see it changed were often hampered by bick- ering, back-stabbing, and administrative red-tape. The Student Government Association on Troy State ' s cam- pus as well as any campus has the important responsibil- ity of serving as a liaison between the student body and the faculty, and the student body and the administra- tion. This SGA can be commended for its institution of several helpful services,: the Traffic Appeals Committee, the teacher evaluation program, and the SGA Supreme Court. However, last year ' s campaign promises have changed to this year ' s campaign promises as several major problems remained unsolved: parking, library and gym hours, and the selection of entertainment. Of course the apathy of the student body cannot be over- looked as a reason for some of the SGA ills. Often offices are filled without elections because the officers are unopposed. Some offices remain vacant because no one files to run at all. In 1973-74 the SGA will be work- ing under a new constitution. Perhaps this new SGA will be able to generate enough interest among the student body and its own officers to make the SGA more than just a lackadaisical entertainment committee.

Hamil Hall (Ety ©rapnltiatt GARY STOGNER, Editor Spring BEVERLY TAYLOR, Editor Fall and Winter The Tropolitan, the university newspaper, like most in recent years, has endured a number of difficulties. This year the Trop had two editors and two advisors and many other obstacles to face. Beverly Taylor, a sophomore, was editor fall and winter quar- ters. Bev sought to change the students ' attitude about the newspaper and her first move was to change the size and shape of the paper. She also installed a weekly opinion poll. When Beverly resigned at the end of winter quarter, Gary Stogner was selected to replace her by the Publications Committee. Gary assumed the r esponsibilities as editor at the beginning of spring quarter under Mr. Clint Claybrook, the new public relations director who was an old newspaper man himself. Gary changed the appearance of the Tropolitan, too, and is an advocate of free but responsible press. The Tropolitan is a valuable source of information on the Troy State University campus and it is also an outlet for the students to air their views on campus life. ®Jfp ftalUtdutttt A lot of long hours, tears, angry words, headaches, laughter, pictures, imagination, and plain hard work result in Palladiums. A member of this yearbook staff learns a number of facts when he joins the Palladium crew. The first of these is that the Palladium is a university publication. The second is that here on Troy ' s campus those students who even bother to pick up their Palladium glance through it once and then place it on the bookshelf for all posterity and maybe an occasional refer- ence. It injured the ego of this staff to think that their pride and joy could so easily be put out of sight, out of mind, so they labored to create a book that would capture their readers ' attention and maybe even a few awards. One of the first questions asked a staff member is Why do you bother? I mean, what ' s in it for you? Well, we ' ll tell you. It means an awful lot of hard work, long hours, and menial tasks. It means contacting and inter- viewing the administration, the faculty, and the students. It amounts to creative thinking, creative layout, creative photography, and hopefully a creative book. The type of yearbook turned out depends on the type of staff that builds it. And in this case the staff was small — six students responsible for recording a whole year ' s worth of events. Yet in spite of this handicap, the staff came up with several new ideas: the class history in the Senior section, the faculty caricatures, the Commode Awards, and the student contributions in the Potpourri Section. As these were first-time attempts, hopefully the student body will be anxious to improve upon this year ' s book by offering suggestions and contributing information, photographs, and pieces of literary worth for next year ' s book. Oh, now we expect some criticisms. For those of you who complain you haven ' t ever seen a cover like this one, we ' re glad. We wanted something different. For those who don ' t like the paper, may I assure you it is the best Troy State University ' s money will buy, and for those who don ' t like their pictures, may we say we can only work with what you give us.

Somewhere back down this long, long road are my people — not lonely people, nor sad, just people with some hopes some smiles — Jimmy Moore Brenda Thurmond Miss Troy State University The Miss America Pageant organization conducts the larg- est scholarship program in the world for young women. Since the start of this scholarship program in 1945, over $10 million in benefits has been awarded to contestants at the local, state and national levels. Throughout the organization there are approximately 3500 local pageants conducted each year, lead- ing to the 50 state pageants in Atlantic City. Approximately 70,000 girls enter the competition each year. Troy State University has become a part of this great schol- arship program by sponsoring an official preliminary pageant to the Miss Alabama pageant. Brenda Thurmond was crowned Miss Troy State University on the evening of Janu- ary 30, 1973. She will go on to compete as the official repre- sentative from TSU in the Miss Alabama Pageant in June. As a preliminary pageant the Troy State Univ featured competition in three cat ent, and swimsuit. Music for the cont Johnny Long, Jr. Combo. Other entertainment throughout the pageant included vocal selections by Miss Donna Reynolds; a dance routine by Miss Diane Roney, the reigning Miss Pike County; and a scene from the Opera Workshop production of The King and I featuring Andy Alsup and Miss Patti Mitchell. Miss TSU received a one year full tuition scholarship to Troy State as well as many gifts from loc al merchants.

President Random words and random order make random sense to me. I fill I % %  • in raittai B We ' re leaving Troy State with an education and hopefully not just in book learning. It is as one professor here at Troy used to advise his students not to let their education get in the way of their education. So, at any rate, we are all leaving with some degree of education which can ' t necessarily be measured by the grades we have received. Most of us were probably scared when we arrived. The pre-registration counselors were responsible for spoonfeeding us the regula- tions of Troy State. They were quick to remind the incoming freshmen of the dorm hours and even informed us that we must carry our I.D. ' s on our person at all times for failure to have it upon request would result in suspension. In short, the counselors reminded all students that everyone was responsible for everything in the Oracle and that ignorance of the law was no excuse. So woe to the student who unknowingly pockets pecans from the Bibb Graves quandrangle. It was always interesting to hear the counse- lors speak about the quiet, serene campus of Troy State University located just 50 miles south of the booming metropolis Montgomery. The only radical behavior we ' ve had here, the counselors informed us, was a disorganized panty raid which never would have occurred if the males on the scene hadn ' t started to leave and the girls in the dorms hollered words of encouragement from their windows. The reluc- tant and humiliated males returned to carry out the panty raid, much to the delight and excitement of the girls in Shackelford, Pace, and Clements.

To some degree, we learned of our own limitations through the frustrations we experienced in dealing with the limitations of the university. In some instances we knew more than our professors. We were bored by the secure, tenure-holding professors who read from the same class notes he had prepared fifteen years ago, and yet we were fasci- nated by the professor who could hold his student ' s attention for a fifty-minute class period. Most of us attempted to become involved in something if not everything: studies, athletics, extracurricular activities, and social contacts. To the freshman it was especially confusing as to the pro- portion of time each activity should have.

All fresh- men had one thing in common: Freshman English. Those who complained were told that previous years were worse. There were the other courses which we elected where we chuckled at the glibness of the more entertaining professors and yawned at the rest. S.G.A. sponsored a rather inaccurate poll to rate the faculty and in the process, one administrator was heard to remark that unfortunately anyone could get a degree if he knew which courses and instructors to select.

Liquor was forbidden in the stands, so of course we didn ' t drink during the games. And then there were the parties and there were the parties. The weekends ... the weeknights . . . Beer . . . Tired . . . Sick ... The blind date ... The blind and ugly date ... It was all hardly worth wait- ing for. Although S.G.A. planned activities and many fraternities scheduled parties, freshmen invariably packed their bags on Monday in anticipation of their trip home on Friday. We soon learned that Troy is sometimes referred to as the suitcase college. ft ■ Mehnda Humphrey m Joseph Jablecki Debby Jackson Ronald Jarmon is Beth Jernigan Albert Johnson Carol Johnson Diane Johnson Dianne Johnson Donald Johnson Everett Johnson Faye Johnson Nanuel Johnson Marcus Johnson Shirley Johnson Tim Johnson Steve Johnston Loretta Jones Vy, 9 A ' 5 • H - ' .

Our first quarter examinations awoke in us the knowledge that we didn ' t have enough knowledge. We regretted the time we spent in Wallace Library when we should have been studying. 232 i W. B.

When we were sophomores, The Hippo made its debut on campus. It was financed through a few advertisements and a lot of student contrib- utions. The paper was unfairly termed under- ground — it proved to be far less radical than most had expected. Its appearance, however, proved to be sporadic for contributions prog- ressively decreased, and many of the proponents of the paper gradually graduated, taking with them the designs for a student newspaper.

And there were others. Those of us who bothered to become a part of the world outside the confines of the university remember the significant events of the seventies which made headlines the world over: No doubt we all sat spellbound by Neil Armstrong ' s first walk on the moon. Surely we remember the anti- war demonstrations which resumed upon the pros- ecution of Lt. William Calley Jr., and the free-Cal- ley petitions which circulated on our own campus. Undoubtedly we will never forget President Rich- ard Nixon ' s address to the people of the United States in which he announced the long-awaited end to the war in Viet Nam and the moving speeches of the freed American prisoners of war as they stepped from the planes which delivered them home.

You ' ll never know how I cried How I died for you. After the setting of the sun, To hell with fun — So much crying still to be done. But it ' s been a wet dream having you here, And I ' d like to thank you for giving me hell; For running faster, Being charming (Friendliness is so disarming); For calling people Sir, And being handsomer; For beating me at che For lessening loneliness; For afternoons in someone ' s yard When school was out; you threw me hard Into the bushes — one could guess That — knowing us — I ' d throw you less. What a fight we staged for free! What a sight for them to see! It ' s been a Christmas having you here, And I ' d like to thank you for all once again; You ' re near but far away, But I just want to say — love you, my friend. The Touch There is a faint hate in the dew Dying here beneath the sun. There is a taste fate ' s touch resembles; Feel it burn our tangled tongues. Jim Corley Sarah by Deborah Hall Love is Rubbish When the sky becomes unstitched And the universe is bursting at the seams; When the rain falls on your mind And it ' s time to give up searching what it means, You ' ve heard so many words you ' ve got to turn away; And all the years you ' ll live from here you ' ll see today. Love is rubbish, Love is rubbish — Don ' t believe if you leave It can stay while away. Love is hellish, Not to relish — When you ' re walking through skies, Softly clouds blind your eyes. When the dawn breaks open wide And the cosmic dust is getting in your eyes; When the magic towers fall And you walk amidst the ruins of the lies, You ' ve smashed so many idols that there ' s nothing left — Black smoke that billows high into your now ungodly sky May ever leave it unbereft. The King is deaf — Long live the cringe. Love is deadly — Love is ghostly — It can hide from the light with no warning of sight, And appear after years causing hope and then tears. Love is flowers, Love is hours Of giving and dying; Love is flowers. James Cotter ' Leo by Pam Cash 281 IMPROPER WAVELENGTH Hey, Cooper! Cooper ' s hands shook as he struggled to slip a magazine into his stolen M-14 rifle. He squinted his eyes, suspiciously peering out into the night through a crack in his doorway. A battery-charged megaphone amplified the sheriff ' s voice a second time. Cooper, you there? Why don ' t you go away and let me go to sleep? Cooper suggested. Why did you burn your white hat? the sheriff returned. You didn ' t even try it on to see why everybody loves them. Cooper smirked. Don ' t you know white hats give you nice thoughts? the sheriff asked. I don ' t like to think nice thoughts all the time, Cooper said. It ain ' t natural. It ain ' t even human. Everybody else wears white hats, Cooper. Don ' t you want to be like everybody else? Cooper began to snicker. He remembered how that programmed- to-be-well-adjusted crowd screamed and fled when he burned his brand new syntho-electronic temperament adjustor in the town square. You ' ll be very lonely if you refuse to be just like everybody else, Cooper, the sheriff ' s voice crackled. Individuality makes people unwholesome. It ' s statistically proven that individuals are prone to have dirty thoughts, and sometimes they even try to act out their filthy little fantasies. You don ' t want people to think you have a dirty mind, do you, Cooper? I don ' t care what people think. Oh, foo! Don ' t lie to us, Cooper. Everybody knows that everybody wants to be like everybody else. If nobody was like everybody else, then everybody would lose their sense of identity. So there. I know who I am, damn it, Cooper said. I don ' t need their decrepit opinions. They can ' t judge me. Who the hell do they think they are? A bunch of little gods? Don ' t be a spoilsport, Cooper. You had your chance at the Polls. You naughty people lost by a landslide. Now it ' s against the law to be different. Don ' t you want to help wipe out crime? Cooper could hear the giggling of the citizens, who stood and waited behind the sheriff. Hurting my feelings will get you no place! He screamed back. We wouldn ' t hurt your feelings, Cooper. We love you. We love you enough to kiss. It ' s just that you should know that in a democracy the majority is always right. The majority ' s gonna be dead if he comes near this door! Cooper warned. Why don ' t you go away and leave me alone? I ain ' t gonna bother nobody. I don ' t even wanta see nobody. There ain ' t nobody ' cause everybody stinks! Cooper . . . you ' re socially and mentally sick. You ' re sick, sick, sick. Cooper began to bite his nails. We ' ve brought you the cure, Cooper. Get outta here! I ' ve got a gun. Nobody has a gun, Cooper. It ' s illegal. Only I can have a gun, and I don ' t even like to shoot it. Come near me an ' I ' ll — I ' ll kill people! You ' re not at all well-adjusted, are you, Cooper? Listen. We got you a brand new white hat. It ' s got that cute little sun sign on it that smiles — how do you do? . . . and we even put your own initials on it. We ' re gonna bring it to you for you to try on. Cooper breathed a heavy sigh.

Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities The Look Of a Landslide Harry S. Truman Franklin D. Roosevelt died in late afternoon of April 12; 1945, and at 7:09 p.m. Harry S. Truman became the nation ' s 33rd President. During Truman ' s often stormy seven years and nine months in office his decisions helped mold the world into what it is today and what it will be in the future. Four months after he took office, he announced the surrender of Japan and Germany and inbetween disclosed the episode which brought Japan to defeat. The atomic bomb had been invented and used and the atomic age had begun. Under the Truman Doctrine military and economic aid was given to Greece and Turkey which enabled them to ward off Communism which had engulfed their neighbors. NATO transformed US theories into peactime troop deployments. Also the Marshall Plan won an infusion of dollars that helped lift Europe from the postwar doldrums and prepared the way for economic revival. In 1950 Truman was forced to make one of the most serious decisions of his term in office. The Communists had invaded South Korea and the US entered the Korean War under Tru- man. Mr. Truman ' s decisions were not always accepted as correct. He fired Gen. Douglas McArthur as Commander in Korea. He battled striking railroad workers and miners and seized steel mills in an attempt to stop strikes in them. Congress riddled his Fair Deal Program and he called the 80th Congress the worst. He had other problems; the rise of McCarthyism, the Alger Hiss Trial, and the spying on the Rosenbergs. The Five Percenter scandals erupted and his friends were attacked. Truman, however, was a salty man who refused to be disloyal to those who had known him when. In his last days, Truman ' s tenaciousness impressed his doctors, one of whom said his fight against death was a reflection of his attitude toward life. He was human and tough and falli- ble and he will be sorely missed. Lyndon B. Johnson John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and Lyndon B. Johnson became the 36th President of the nation. At his death John- son ' s admirers talked of having loved him, but that was hardly the universal feeling during his presidency. Lyndon Johnson resembled a cast of characters more than a single person and this led to accusations of his being vain, tyrannical, vindictive, sly, and crude. There was the folksy LBJ who included anecdotes in his speeches which began My ole Daddy once told me. There was the manipulator of men who devised plots so secretive that not even his aides knew what he was doing. There was LBJ the frugal who went around the White House turning off lights and urging everyone to tell your friends you have an independent, tax-paying, light- bill-saving President. There was also LBJ the patriot who choked up at the sight of Old Glory and the playing of the national anthem. Lyndon Johnson as President was given most of the blame for Viet Nam. Johnsonian law will affect American life for years to come in the areas of education, social welfare, and civil rights. His administration will always be characterized by the Great Society he advocated. Lyndon Johnson ' s place in history is still uncertain. He was denied the benevolent respect accorded those such as Dwight Eisenhower and Harry Truman, who outlived the memory of all but their most ardent enemies. As LBJ stated himself, To hunger for use and to go unused is the worst hunger of all . . . Presidents quickly realize that while a single act might destroy the world they live in, no single act can make life suddenly better or can turn history around for the good. The Student Workers — A Salute Who do you think types your tests and does all the little jobs your teachers don ' t have time for? The probability is very high it was one of the many students on the campus who are employed by the university. The students work as general office workers, building and grounds workers, librarians and many other positions on the campus. They comprise a very large portion of the work force and are for the most part indis- pensable to many teachers and staff employees. y ? . t DAY Fashion Follies ♦¥: ' ' £ I ffi The POW ' s Come Home Peace in Viet Nam brought the POW ' s back home. For those who had waited for that moment it was a dream come true. People who wore POW bracelets read newspapers and watched television for news of the men their bracelets repre- sented. Families waited anxiously to be reunited with sons, brothers, fathers, and husbands. When the freed POW ' s step- ped off the plane, they were greeted by family, friends, crowds of well-wishers, and in one case, Alabama ' s First Lady, Mrs. Cornelia Wallace. For those prisoners who came home a mir- acle happened, but there is still a question about those who did not come home — the missing in action. Many students at Troy remember Buddy Fleming Day which was held in memory of Buddy on May 26, 1971. Troy State students are still waiting for news of Buddy Flemming and hope there will be another day set aside to welcome him home. The MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER-ALABAMA JOURNAL The SGA Political Affairs committee worked hard this year to bring interesting and informative speakers to Troy State Campus. One of these speakers was Senator John Tunney of California who spoke on the New Politics. It was a chance for students to hear political opinions other than those of the news commentators and the news maga- zines. The Speech and Drama Department conducted a shift of opinion survey to determine the amount of attitude change effectuated by Sen. Tunney ' s speech. It was found that there was both a significant change in attitudes regarding the con- tent of the Senator ' s speech and considerable alteration in the perception of Sen. Tunney as a political image. Before the speech of 72% of the audience perceived of themselves as either conservatives (18%) or moderates (54%); 67% of the audience perceived of Sen. Tunney as a liberal. Barely 21% of the audience perceived of Sen. Tun- ney as a moderate. By comparison, after the speech 69% of the audience either strongly identified with Sen. Tunney (23%) or liked the Senator (46%). Less than 8% were indifferent to Sen. Tunney; approximately 2% disliked him. Further, there were only 36% of the audience who perceived of Sen. Tunney as a liberal whereas 45% of the audience perceived of the man as a moderate. In essence, Sen. Tunney was successful in virtually reversing his political image. Those issues which were most instrumental in effectuating this reversal of image where: (1) Presidential powers to impound funds. (2) Re-establishing the position of Congress in government. (3) Streamlining Congress. (4) Presidential power to prevent members of the White House Staff from testifying before congressional committees. Sen. Tunney successfully substantiated Kenneth Burke ' s motion of consubstantiality, the achieving of persuasion by stylistic identification, as he writes in A Rhetoric of Meaning: Substance in the old philosophies was an act; and a way of life is an acting together, and in acting together, men have common sensations, concepts, images, ideas, and attitudes that make them consubstantial. Any sensation, concept, image, idea, or attitude which we use to identify substance Burke calls a said-to-be consubstan- tial. Stylistic identifications Burke calls strategies. In other words, to persuade rhetorically you use language fash- ioned in such a way that it gives signs of the identity of the properties of speaker and hearer. Identification itself is the strategy which encompasses the whole area of lan- guage for the purposes of inducement to action or attitude. Sen. Tunney, it can be said, used those linguistic strate- gies (issues — message — unit content) ' which gave signs to his hearers that his properties were similar to or identi- cal with their properties, and thereby achieved identifica- tion or Consubstantiality and thus achieved persuasion. raw CO unney speaks JOHN TUHNEV ' DEMOCRAT SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA .

This book is more than just a yearbook. It is three hundred eighty-four pages of an honest effort to record in pictures and copy activities and events peculiar to this year. An attempt to record history in the tradition of the past but with respect to the reflection it will project on the future. As I work these last few hours on these last few pages, I am overwhelmed by the true significance of our efforts. To my staff, To Gail, Janice, Jan, and especially Art whom we all overworked, I thank you. To Rhonda, my advisor, for her moral support with her expert advice and staff parties, I am deeply indebted. To President Adams and Dean Gibson, I thank you for your guidance and patience. More thanks to Debbie Sanders across the hall and to the library crew: Dollie, Dale and James. I am grateful to Al Becker, Ann Rogers, Ron Clanton, Tom Morgan, and especially Woodi Ishmael, for the artwork in the yearbook. And last, but never least, we all thank Steve Nesham of Lorri Studios whose advice was always as sharp as his suits. This book was a cooperative effort and for any and all who contributed, we hope you are as proud of this yearbook as this staff is to present it to you. Like the 5c candybar and the nickel pack of gum, this year has passed on forever, yet the people you want to remember and the good times you want to recall, we leave with you.
