Tusculum College - Tusculana Yearbook (Greenville, TN)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1973 volume:

Tusculum Ruined city of ancient Latinium, SE of Rome. Secluded area for inward and outward contemplation. Microcosm Community or group of people that considers themselves to be a replica of the world in miniature. Tusculumicrocosm A college community East of Greeneville, Tennessee, U.S.A. con- sisting of some 400 odd people, all of whom live up to the old adage that there are at least two types of education. The term microcosm fits Tusculum much better than the term college , for in speaking of the College , its members aren't actually referring to the physical structure of Tusculum, but, rather, the people of Tusculum. Instead of remaining a heterogenous mixture of Northerners and Southerners, the dynamic energy of the educational process and the land itself mixed the various groupings into the homo- genous solution known as Tusculum . .. without loss of identity to its members. T 3 . Mvfewwgw It's the lack of loss of identity that gives Tusculum its greatest asset and its biggest liability . . . its people. Tusculum people don't fight. Yet they argue and com- plain constantly. They don't work very hard, yet they seem to get a lot accomplished in the clutch. They seldom speak highly of Tusculum among themselves . .. but have an outsider make a snide remark, and they are ready to spring forth with praises of Old TC and its progressive l?l programs. Why? Because Tusculum people are extremely human, almost to a fault . . . Ain't thatjustfine? 5 Still, everyone at Tusculum shows signs of being human, and when it's time to unwind, Tusculum people show themselves to be top-notch profession- als. And don't think that we're referring to the stu- dent group only - yes, one of the great saving graces of the microcosm is that everyone at TC is human, and seldom are great pains taken to hide the fact. No one ever said that microcosm stood for heaven in miniature. 6 ? 4: I , 7 5 A ,- 4 Ui . 9, 5' ? 5. , 2- 5 , -if 'fm Q, :' fin- 5 W' FE A ., 5 .

Many have helped for long and hard hours during the homestretch of production, all of whom deserve a pat on the back and a fine cigar. Be forewarned that, due to the lack of direction during two-thirds of this academic year, we are pre- senting a humorous scrapbook rather than a tradi- tional yearbook. Thank you for your patience, your attention, and your over-indulgences. W. G. Dunham The Place Located in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains is the oldest Presbyterian college in the United States - Tus- culum College. With tradi- tional southern hospitality, all visitors are welcomed to the campus. All around us is a constantly changing view. The prefabs, old post office and willow tree are gone, re- placed by azaleas and signs. Yet if you look through the landscaping you will find the people of Tusculum, the stu- dents, faculty, administration and staff. These are the real college. 10 Tuscuum course NO THRU TRAFFIC VISITORS MUST REGISTOR AT CAMPUS CENTER sxcepw-nom neconmcx, uemv, aoox stone, Post omcs, 5' FINE ARTS 11 4 A45 .X A f R is in -' Mei' L I ws., Tusculum's buildings are as much a part of the TC personality as is the people inside.

It's time to perform: register, buy your books, put it all in gear. It's school time, kids. Get in line and eat your lunch before that 1 o'clock class. You must have your yellow receipt or you don't get an ID card. You must have an ID card or you can't register. You must register or you won't get any credit for the courses you take. And so on. So summer vacation is over. . .andthe Tusculum- icrocosm isn't that quiet spot in the Tennessee land- scape anymore. lt's a computerized madhouse of new rules for this year that supercede and replace the new rules for this year from last year. And so on. This first week is the acid test for all who come to Tusculum, but the funny thing is that the first week in September bears a strange resemblance to the third week in November or the second week in February or the last week in May. It's not really a madhouse - it's a well-oiled machine. Well-tuned? Well, that's questionable. But well-oiled. That's valid. 57 ,Nm Smile ffrom Sheboygan, Wisconsinl played in the hal- lowed Byrd Chapel Auditorium for the fall concert, providing about three hours of ecstacy for the campus at-large. Smile was just another good barroom band, but they were improving daily, and since the last time TC had seen them they had gotten together enough of their own material to warrent an album of their own. Few could deny that Smile played their hearts out for the boisterous crowd, but still there wrere a chosen few who insisted that one had to pay for a good con- cert . . . or . . . if you ain't got a hit record, baby, you can't possibly put on a really heavy show... man. Ultimately, Smile went back to Sheboygan, played a few more bars here and there, and split up to form those perfect rock groups in the sky that they had been hearing about for the six years of their existance. TC, in the meantime, was in search of one of those perfect rock groups with-a-hit-record. Last we heard, Smile was now two or three different and just plain hard-working bands, while TC was paying 55,200 to hear how tired some roadies were, since we've been up since 6 a.m. Thank you, Smile, for the best concert ofthe year! 11? -9. , aw. ,-wana., Jima, ?I -HQ... as 60 The Motorheads Those five miles between Tusculum and Greeneville are hard to bridge sometimes so the students at Tusculum have taken up any sort of transportation to get there.

I nrt' ,Z-ff Forty Carats was a light, little play in which the cast and crew members could have some fun before those people out there in the seats saw it on Parent's weekend, 1972. Looking back in the recesses of memory, the old 'veterans' helped to train the green freshmen while they in turn gave the oldies a new vitality. Plot-wise and theme-wise the play was, to quote Tevye, practically a noth- ing . But, it had won awards in New York because it could draw and please audiences, which it did in the Annie Hogan Byrd Auditorium as well. This 'frivolous' comedy in the final analysis, however, did its greatest work in cementing together a new cast foundation for which the Pioneer Players could build for their future productions of Rain and the student directed one-acters. The only question remaining in my mind is, Did Anne and Peter, and did Trina and Eddie live happily ever after? I s fi.

The editor has, in due time, come to understand the fragile bal- ance of the scantily financed intercollegiate sports programme at TC. Our luck hasn't been any too good, either, as evidenced by this following anecdote. During the 'I971-72 hoop season, lack Russell's Pioneers hit the floor at the home court of Middle Tennessee State University and did quite admirably against M.T.S.U., a perrinneal powerhouse in the Ohio Valley Conference. C-ratified by his team's prerformance, Russell de- cided that Austin Peay . . . the 0.V.C. doormat in basketball for longer than anyone cares to remember . . . would be a fair contest for the 72-73 Pioneers, a decidedly stronger team than the one that played so well against M.T.S.U. So the arrangements were made during the off season, TC would take on the Governors at Austin Peay, a chance to become giant killers was thrust into Tusculum's hands. But then, as fate and bad-luck-for-our-guys would have it, two things happened: Peay got a new coach who brought along a whole load of junior college tal- ent with him, and the NCAA, bless their hearts, allowed the major colleges the grace of having their freshman recruits play on the varsity squad. And who ever thought that Peay, the doormat supreme, would man- age to recruit Brooklyn's baddest guard and, ultim- ately, one of the top scorers nationwide - Fly Williams? Not the editor. Not you. Not lack Russell. Not even the producers of all those horrid Walt Disney type sports movies. Whether or not you followed the Pioneers last winter, the editor doubts that, upon reading this, you can't figure out who won the game. But, on the bright side, at least two milestones were passed during the 72-73 season: senior Paul Minton scored his 1500th point late in the season and was elected to the all-V.S.A.C. team for his fourth year - not an easy accomplishment, considering that TC was in the V.S.A.C. East cellar for three of those four seasons. And that's the other milestone. We got out of the conference basement. Oh, granted, fifth out of sixth isn't exactly finishing in the money, but it's progress. Furthermore, Coach Russell informs the editor that Austin Peay will not be on Tusculum's 1973-74 sched- ule, nor M.T.S.U., nor Armstrong State, nor the Uni- versity of North Carolina at Charlotte. The competition, he says, will be a bit more in keeping with a school the size and budget of TC. The editor can hardly wait. Kneeling: B. Houser, S Surgent W Stokley L Bible T Heffernan.

Business Harry Svarplatis 79 Hi Wwe Dr. Thomas G. Voss, Acting Executive Officer, Dean of the College Lame duck administrations aren't renowned for making great strides, and the burden of not knowing what might happen next can be a great strain on the human element. None- theless, Dr. Tom Voss and his com- rades in McCormack Hall were able to find among themselves the strength to refrain from putting Tusculum into neutral and the wisdom, perhaps, to switch from reverse to low. It was obvious a year ago, when Voss was unexpectedly called upon to as- sume temporary command, that TC was not only a troubled institution, but also a school with a pessimistic attitude about its future. Perhaps the greatest gain of the lame ducks was the reversal of attitude to one of hope. And that reversal of attitude, above all, is the main reason why last june Tus- culum's Board of Trustees named Thomas G. Voss, Ph. D., President of Tusculum College. 80 Administration Dr. Estel C.

The security force landed at Tusculum College in the Spring of 1973. With it came pretty signs, men in blue suits with walkie talkies, and a rash of locked doors. Oh, oh. Fun, fun.

Well, put the 1973 Women's Softball team in the books - with an asterik, perhaps, but put them in the books for posterity. The Tusculum Women, friends, were 3 - 0 for the first season they played. And they did it all. Pam Can- gilosi could hit, Joyce Berger could pitch, jamie Brooks could field, Pam Meyer could giggle. And so on. They even had a handful of bench jockeys that could un- nerve any opposing pitcher whether the foe knew what she was doing or not. We would have had some exciting pictures of the Pioneerettes in action, but our incompetent photog- rapher found, after the last game, that he had no film in the camera. Sounds like the story of this book - eh? But let us return to the subject at hand. You may be asking yourself, Why does it say, ' . . . put them in the record books - with an asterik . . . '? Well, the girls had a chance to win four games in 1973, but they were too good and honest to win the last one. TC was facing King College up at Pioneer Field, and in the first inning our guys, er, girls . . . yeah, our girls had already run up a 6-0 lead over King. After the second inning it was 11-0. By the fourth, it was 19-0, or something similiarly outlandish. Now all this time, sports fans, the sky was thickening with thunderheads, monsoon season thunderheads. Of course, Brooklyn Dodger strategy would have been to take those first six runs and get out of town before it rains. Make out, play the game fast. Unfortunately, none of the girls were from Brooklyn, so they weren't acquainted with the Branch Rickey method. As run H19 crossed the plate, lightening crossed the sky. They never got to the top of the fifth, the inning that would have made the game official and the season absolutely perfect. The TC luck had struck again. lf, at this point, you think the opinions expressed here are a bit too harsh, allow me to agree. ln our hearts, the Pioneerettes were 4-0. King had no hope of scoring 19 runs in two innings. Allow me to congratu- late you, my sweets. And remember: don't get your dobbers down. Kneeling L Gregory C Morgenweck, D. Foley,C.

' 'E Jw W Q Then, the next morning they have a church service. Can you believe it, Irv, a church service? Sylvia almost fainted. I thought it was against the law, but I found out that the kids didn't have to go. But most of them did anyway. Good kids, Irv, really darn nice kids. This fella, a Dr. Simon, gave the sermon. Really nice. I didn't even fall asleep. Honest, Irv. My brother-in-law didn't believe me either. And the choir? Ah, the choir, Irv! Like angels, and with such pretty girls. Then came the graduation - commencement, they call it- but they had to have it indoors because of the rain. That didn't hurt it any, though. Honest, lrv. And guess who they had to speak. No, not Myron Cohen. Someone even better. Dean Rusk. Yes, Irv, the Rusk who was Secretary of State. And was he good? Oy, such a nice personality, and everyone understood what he had to say, even Sylvia. He told everyone that America was under pressure, but that these kids could patch things up, provided they work hard. Really nice. You shoulda heard it, Irv. And then, lrv, they gave out three doctorates. No, it isn't a medical school! These were honor- ary, for service to mankind. Ah, lrv, sometimes I can't explain anything to you. You shoulda been there. Then you'd understand. And then came the happening that everyone who came to the Byrd Chapel on May 27, 1973 was really waiting for. And for just one instant, each member of the Tusculum College Class of '73 became fair game for younger brothers or older sisters or girl- friends or parents with Brownie Starflexes. Flash. Congratulations it didn't hurt a bit. 104 That was it. May 27,1973. But there's more . . . something that almost no one noticed. There to the West, just behind Craig Hall, for just a fleeting moment, the sun shone on Tusculum's great holiday, just as the Maker had prescribed for all holidays. You shoulda seen it. Honest, Irv. 105 Home Federal Savings And Loan Assoc. First National Bank of Greeneville The Greene County Bank The Corner Drug Store George R. Lane's a The End An old neighborhood ritual of the editor's, upon the reaching of the end of anything, consists of a silly exer- cise in which two comrades in the terminating en- deavor look each other in the eye and gravely an- nounce, in unison, This is it. Unfortunately, the media of print and photo have certain limitations. Nonetheless ...... this is it. Tusculum has been enjoyable, to say the least. It's also been reasonably educational. For those of us who managed, somehow, to live through three years of turmoil and an additional year of limbo, the editor wishes to express to you a very special 'this is it.' ak Ik lk Ik Ill wk wk wk wk III Ik at Ik lk HI' Upon graduating, I had thought that it might be appropriate to say something significant to my parents and the rest of my family, but, as things would have it, my mother wished to discuss things such as my personal appearance and my employment status Uvlothers are like that, yeah . . .they arei. But I knew what I would have said then, and I know what I will say now, and the two are much the same thing. I've wanted to include in my thoughts here in the annual as a matter of preservation. Enough of the people at Tusculum have felt the way I have, and our thoughts would be a good thing to have down, in writing, so that when the Tusculum people of 'I972-73 have children of college age they'll have some sort of a reference point concerning their state of mind back when they were spring chickens: I had thought, the imaginary speech was to have read, that upon graduating, upon receiving my de- gree, I was to be filled with a profound revelation about life, about the future. Instead, I found myself feeling about the same as I had before - dazed and confused, like a fourteen year-old confronting his first blemish. The diploma didn't carry any special message other than, 'This paper certifies that the bearer has completed four years of study successfully enough to be called a college graduate' So, family, I did what I have been doing for quite some time now - I reacted like a crazy college kid, posing for pictures with my best college friends, the three of us holding our diplomas before us in a pose reminiscent of Kellogg's Corn Flakes ads in the Saturday Evening Post. Now, perhaps this activity of mine bothered you... in fact, it even bothered me for a while. But later in the afternoon, while conversing with one of my favo- rite backporch philosophers, I suddenly came upon the truth about my diploma, and the truth of my edu- cation as whole. Granted, Tusculum had taught me the finer points of understanding William Faulkner, Tus- culum had taught me the reasons why clay attains cer- tain properties after being fired to certain tempera- tures, Tusculum had even taught me about the world of small-time politics. 110 But all that was secondary, for Tusculum had taught me the single most important thing in my brief life: I learned to learn . . . and to love learning. The diploma is secondary, only a symbol of the knowledge that was mine. I could lose the diploma. . . but the knowledge is mine forever. If l've totally confused you at this point, allow me to use an escape that I have patented over the last eight years of paper writing: I shall quote. I shall quote T. H. White, from his immortal The Once and Future King. It seems that Wart, or young Arthur, is troubled about life, much the same way that I was troubled about my diploma this morning. He goes to Merlin the Magician to seek advice: lk lk lk lk HI! wk Ik Ik III Ik III III lk HI! II! Sir Ector has given me a glass of canary, said the Wart, and sent me to see if you can't cheer me up. Sir Ector, said Merlyn, is a wise man. Well, said the Wart, what about it? The best thing for being sad, replied Merlyn, be- ginning to puff and blow, is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then -to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you. Look at what a lot of things there are to learn - pure science, the only purity there is. You can learn astronomy in a lifetime, natural history in three, literature in six. And then, after you have exhausted a milliard lifetimes in biology and medicine and theocriticism and geography and history and economics - why, you can start to make a cartwheel out of the appropriate wood, or spend fifty years learning to begin to learn to beat your adversary at fencing. After that you can start again on mathematics, until it is time to learn to plough. III III lk lk lk ik II! Sk ik Ik lk III lk Ik ik The speech ended there in Camelot, and leads here, to my apartment in Greeneville. I live over a garage on the side of a wooded hill. There are wild roses and wild strawberries and wild raspberries and honeysuckle that rolls down the side of the hill and hits you with a scent that could knock you over on a june morning... all vying for space with my tomato plants. My tomato plants had the blight, but I recently learned how to dust them, and they're doing quite well now. Perhaps l'll learn to plough someday, too. I work at a radio station now, hardly proper use of my degree. But it's something l've wanted to try for a few years now. It's a pleasant occupation. 111 I'm surrounded by some wonderful friends here, even though this is the summertime now and most of the people at Tusculum have gone, some never to return again. I'll miss many. And that constitutes my wish for all those who read this . . . from typesetter to distinguished alumnus from years gone by. May you all discover pleasant occu- pations, at which you are surrounded by many good friends. lk Ik III Ik Ik lk wk wk Ik Ik Ik ak lk Ik ik If you hadn't noticed by now, the editor has ne- glected to dedicate this book yet. Now is the time. Some might be offended by my choice, however, I offer no apologies. At this point, people who are offended by the emotions of others aren't worth apology. A classmate of ours made a few mistakes over the last few years. Actually, most of us at Tusculum made similar mistakes, we were simply lucky enough not to get caught. Now, as I write this, he is preparing himself mentally to pay for these mistakes. He just might need a reminder of who all was there when it all was happening. I hope this annual will help. lim, this book is yours. WGDIune, 'I973 Special thanks and a tip of the Hatlo to: The 3rd Floor Burns Photo Shop Dave 84 Buffy Ianet and Wendy L. M.
