The campus didn ' t even look the same. A beauti- ful old (very old) building was razed to make way for a shiny new SUB. This couldn ' t be progress, could it? And the grounds! The university has always boast- ed beautiful landscaping— but suddenly in the mid- dle of summer the neatly trimmed flower beds and meticulously maintained lawns were torn up, giving way to piles of dirt and frightfully deep ditches for the THE MISS UNA PAGEANT wouldn ' t be as entertaining without the spe- cial arrangements of the popular Jazz Band.

Surely, this wasn ' t progress. But even the most persistent harbingers of gloom couldn ' t keep the university down for long. O ' Neal Hall was an irreparable safety hazard: the new SUB will serve students well and be a source of pride for the university and the community. The torn-up lawns grew green again; the new telephone system was a much needed administrative tool (and it meant that finally the university could put telephones in dorm rooms). A nationwide search for a new dean of Faculty and Instruction means the position won ' t be open for long, and the administration was able to cut the number of non-tenured faculty to be released from 36 to five. There ' s a certain danger in our Pollyanna attitude— you may think that we ' re looking at the university through rose-colored glasses. We ' re not— we ' re simply looking at the records. All the indications are there. Be- lieve us, it ' s gonna be great.

Students who took part in the week- long festival were colorfully arrayed in their own organizational jerseys of blue, red, and yellow or in the checkerboard purple and gold Spring Fling T-shirts furnished by McDonalds. The restaurant and the Stu- dent Activities Board were the official spon- sored for Spring Fling. One of the first events of the week was the Ugly Walk, held in the Great Hall. Bertha Butt from Phi Gamma Delta charmed the judges and took first place, followed by contestants sponsored by Phi Mu in second and ATO in third. The action necessarily moved outdoors for the next event, the People Pyramid. There was a tie for first place in the women ' s division between Alpha Gamma Delta, Rice Hall, and the Alpha Sweethearts as team members stacked human (and quite temporary) pyramids in the amphitheater. The Foot Frat won the men ' s division, followed by Alpha Phi Alpha and a four-way tie for third between Phi Gamma Delta, Kappa Sigma, Com- muters, and Sigma Chi. Campus walkways were awash in a splash of colors as a result of Wednesday ' s Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest. RESA ' s color- ful entry depicting a fantasy spring scene won the art contest. Phi Mu took second and the Geography Club was third. McDonalds provided the hamburgers and contestants provided voracious appe- tites for the Big Mac Attack contest which was held in the top of the SUB. In the women ' s division, Rice Hall gulped into first place, followed by the Alpha Sweethearts, and RESA. In the men ' s division, Kappa Kappa Psi won in the messy competition with Sigma Chi taking ' second and Phi Gamma Delta third. The Great Hall was again the setting for the Lip Sync Contest where the Foot Frat placed first; Alpha Sweethearts were second and Alpha Phi Alpha took third. The cancellation of classes at noon on Thursday was enough to get almost every student involved in the Fling on the foot- ball practice field. Dizzie Izzie, Grab Bag, Egg Toss, and Water Relays were just a few of the events (Cont. on page 11) BERTHA BUTT, alias Billy Redding, is interviewed by WQLTs Roger Hope in the Ugly Walk competition.

Alpha Gams Stacie Keeton, Charla Atkins, and Jill Bynum work with their sisters to complete the relay in a very respectable time. GIVING everything to their performance, the members of Sigma Chi fraternity put on a winning show during Step Sing. The fraternity took first place in the song and dance competition. 10 Spring Fling Fever Cont. from page 9) which had students running the length of he field, throwing (and catching) farm resh produce, and getting drenched with vater, all during a single afternoon of hilar- ous and exhausting competition.

The final Spring Fling vent took place on Saturday night, and  s students and parents gathered in Norton uditorium for Step Sing anticipation was high. The winner of the Overall Spring Fling week would be announced after the evening ' s entertainment. Sigma Chi Fraternity took first place in the song and dance competition with their rendition of Louie, Louie and other songs of summer. The Foot Frat, with their theme of Super Bowl Shuffle, won second place as the Alpha Sweethearts placed third. Overall winners for the week were Sigma Chi, first place; Alpha Sweethearts, second place; and Rice Hall, third place. el ! i • t £ i k ■ i V -; 1 I III ■ v TLJ.

Spring Fling 11 I CAN DO THAT! proclaims Mike (Richard Wel- born) in one of the show ' s signature tunes. Music for the production was provided by a stu- dent orchestra con- ducted by Band Director Edd Jones. A Singular Sensation The production of A Chorus Line was a success with both the actors and the audience Chrissie Shedd The longest running musical on Broad- way, A Chorus Line, was brought to campus in the spring by director Robert Allen Holder. The musical is approaching its eleventh year on Broadway, and UNA was one of the first universities in the nation to do the hit show. Holder wasted no time in getting the show — and did so as soon as he received notice that it was available for release to non -professional companies. I wanted to be one of the first to do the show. We ' ve gotten some favorable recognition for doing so, said Holder. The show is a musical within a musical. The plot of A Chorus Line is about dancers who are auditioning for a new show. But the director also wants to find out about the dancers ' personal lives, said Holder. He believes that the success of A Chorus Line is because the musical deals with real people, a real world, and a real situation. The show enabled cast members to get involved in every aspect of performing. I enjoyed this play more than any other. It required all of my talent in danc- ing, singing, and acting, said Tonya Rus- sell, who played the character Cassie. The musical has lead roles, but no star roles. Even in New York, there is not a star in A Chorus Line. The director, Zach, was a lead role and the character Cassie was a lead role. We are more attuned to Zach and Cassie, because of their previous involvement as lovers, said Holder. Holder said that he can relate to the director in the play as well as the rest of the characters. I ' m faced with some of the problems that Zach is faced with in trying to get the cast to do certain things and to deal with different personalities and personal problems, explained Holder. I can also relate to the dancers in the musical. When I was a dancer, I felt the same excitement and anxiety. The cast had to work especially hard in A Chorus Line, because of the added dimensions of dancing and singing, as well as acting. We rehearsed six nights a week for a month before the o pening of the show. We worked hard, said Russell. A Chorus Line definitely received attention from the university and the com- munity. The play brought in a packed house each night and each show brought wild applause at the end of the performance— but not all the reactions were favorable. Holder was not surprised at the nega- tive feedback he received from some parts of the community. I didn ' t cut anything out of the original play. There was foul lan- guage, and some of the situations were unsavory to some people. All of the things that happen in real life were dramatized in the play, said Holder. TWO SLIGHTLY JADED CAST MEMBERS, Bobby (Todd Goode) and Sheila (Kellie Little) listen to the director ' s instructions.

The Jazz Band played all the produc- tion numbers during the pageant, but did not u play during the girls ' talent competition. THE CONTESTANTS join Master of Ceremonies John Blaylock and Miss UNA 1985 Alyssa Ashley in the rousing opening production number An Alabama Star Fell on New York City. The number was written and choreographed by the director of the production, professor Robert Allen Holder. Miss Alabama Bound The Miss UNA pageant gives women a chance to win scholarships and to compete in the Miss Alabama pageant 3y Christie Shedd She may have been a little nervous efore the pageant, but freshman DeLon Smith ' s reaction as the results were nnounced was total excitement. I don ' t know if there are any words that :an describe how I felt, she said. Smith was crowned Miss UNA 1986 in bruary, and immediately began to train or the Miss Alabama pageant. Joe Wallace, director of university ivents and Miss UNA pageant coordina- tor, said that the pageant system is a hance for young women to excel. The pageant is an opportunity to edu-  young women and to see them excel leir talent. I think the whole process of Miss America system gives young nen an opportunity to receive scholar- hips and recognition as men do in ath- tic events, said Wallace. Alabama, a State of Music, was the erne for the Miss UNA pageant this year, uch songs as My Home ' s in Alabama, Stars Fell on Alabama, and Alabama Bound set the tone for the pageant. The Master of Ceremonies was John Blaylock, a native of Alabama. He sang When a Man Loves a Woman, a hit song written and recorded locally by Percy Sledge and produced by accounting professor Quinn Ivy. The pageant was a chance to pay trib- ute to Alabama ' s songwriters and the music that represents Alabama, said Wallace. Robert Allen Holder choreographed the music for the pageant. Holder also wrote the opening song called An Alabama Star Fell on New York City. This is the third year that the UNA Jazz Band has served as the orchestra for the pageant. We ' re proud of the Jazz Band for their participation in the pageant, said Wallace. Smith ' s prizes, awarded from pageant sponsors, included about $5,000 worth of merchandise and services. She received a $1500 wardrobe for the Miss Alabama pageant from Regency Square Mall, one year free tanning from Caribbean Tanning Salon, one year membership from Court House Racquetball Club, one week vaca- tion in Florida from Tourway Inn, one year hair care from The Mane Place, Color Analysis and cosmetics consultation from A New You, a diamond necklace from Best Jeweler ' s, one year membership to Ron ' s Gym for weight training, custom statione ry from Don Brown Printing, official portraits from photographer Jim Frawley, and one year ' s tuition from the university. The pageant marked Smith ' s debut in performing in front of an audience. She sang Love Will Find a Way. Smith plans a career in television broad- casting, and hopes to eventually work with a major news network. Jane Pauley of the Today Show is my idol, she explained. First alternate was Debra Eastland. East- land has been singing professionally since she was eight years old. ' For the pageant, Eastland sang Ain ' t No Mountain High Enough. I wanted to sing this song because of the up-beat, and I felt the song fit my personality, said Eastland. After the Miss UNA pageant, Eastland won the Miss Dixie pageant in Guin, Alabama. She went on to place third (second runner-up) in the Miss Alabama pageant. She won the preliminary talent award in the Miss Alabama pageant. Elizabeth Hill was second alternate in the Miss UNA pageant. Vickie Pike and Leigh Ellen Sandlin were third and fourth alternates. The pageant was a great success, judg- ing from the reactions of the audience and of those who participated both onstage and backstage. The tremendous amount of work put into the pageant paid off for the t girls and for the university— as the Miss j UNA pageant continues its tradition of producing future Miss Alabamas. s THE TOP TEN FINALISTS line up during the swimsuit competition. The finalists were Leigh Ellen Sandlin, DeLon Smith, Vicki Pike, Dedra Eastland, Elizabeth Hill, Daphne Dean, Elaine Cox, Molly Brown, Mashea Holden, and Samantha Hamilton.

Miss UNA 15 Bag of THcks A monumental rock and roll band of the 70s proved they still have the magic in the 80s By Mark Narmore Are you ready to rock? Cheap Trick ' s opening number posed the question as Rick Nielsen, Robin Zander, John Brandt, and Bun E. Carlos stormed the Flowers Hall stage. A dead segue into their landmark hit I Want You to Want Me brought the most enthusias- tic response of the night and the crowd cried out for more. Guitarist Nielsen was the dominant stage presence— dressed in his signature black baseball cap and high topped tennis shoes, leaping about the stage and toss- ing guitar picks into the crowd— but blond, blue-eyed lead singer Zander had his share of followers as well. Bassist Brandt had a few frenzied admirers of his own, and the cigarette smoking Bun E. Carlos on drums also drew some attention. The tight perfor- mance was aided by the addition of a key- board player added for the tour. Some of the highlights of the concert included Tonight It ' s You, Standing on the Edge, Dream Police, Ain ' t That a Shame, and Surrender. The most disappointing part of the evening was Nielsen ' s attempt to get the audience to join in and sing Bob Dylan ' s classic Rainy Day Women -12 and 35. The crowd, perhaps a little young for the older Dylan tune, wasn ' t familiar with the chorus, Everyone must get stoned. Cheap Trick retained their enthusiasm for the performance, however, and after the show Zander told the audience, We had a great time playing tonight. Walk the West, a group which plays a i hybrid of fast rock, country, and blues, was the opening act for the Student Activities Board sponsored concert. BASS PLAYER John Brandt takes the spotlight to hit a few hot licks. The group used a combination of old and new material to give an overview of their output from the last ten years. ROBERT LAWLER AMAZING GRACE is reworked to include an electric guitar solo by Mylon LeFevre and Broken Heart. ROBERT LAWLER Sheep in wolves ' clothing By Mark Narmore They call themselves sheep in wolves ' clothing and for good reason On the outside their outrageous dress makes them appear as just another run-of-the- mill acid band ... but not Mylon LeFevre and Broken Heart. The light show was spectacular and set the mood for the hard hitting heavy metal music filling Norton Auditorium. But beyond the music was a surprise — LeFevre ' s songs have lyrics which are unfamiliar to most fans of Judas Priest and Motley Crue. LeFevre calls it mus- ic with a message, and the message is Jesus Christ. LeFevre is no stranger to the more secular side of rock and roll by any means — he ' s performed on record, stage, and television with an array of music legends including Eric Clapton, DuaneAllman, Billy Joel, George Harri- son, Little Richard, Mick Fleetwood, The Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd and many others. But by his own admission, he had a serious drug problem during this period. LeFevre turned to religion and eventu- ally began to incorporate his new life into his profession. The Georgia native insists that the generic term rock and roll is not evil — and he ' s simply playing the mus- ic he ' s been playing his whole life. Un- like some of his more conservative colleagues in the world of Christian music, LeFevre is comfortable with the high decibels and high energy of rock and roll. Opening for Broken Heart was the Calling. A slightly less volatile act than Broken Heart, the Calling nevertheless had the crowd on its feet and prepared them for what was to come. David Teems, the lead singer for the group, seemed a pretty typical rocker as he joked about their hectic touring sched- ule and life on the road. The February 28 concert marked the first time a contemporary Christian rock band performed on campus. Judging from the enthusiastic reception of the not-so-ordinary rockers in the audience, this first time will probably not be the last. 16 HEART THROB Robin Zander promises Tonight It ' s You to his female fans at the April 28 concert.

Enter- ing freshmen (and others) can use the system to help make decisions on what classes to take or what major to pursue. SOAR coun- selor Kim Darby explains some of the basic concepts of the computer system. GETTING ACQUAINTED with the campus and with the people of the university is an important part of Summer Orientation and Advanced Registration. Counselor James Berryhill gives his SOAR group a pep talk about the workings of the university. 18 Tkking You There SOAR (Summer Orientation and Registration) provides in easy transition from high school to college fy Jeffrey Cox A nervousness comes over the gradu- ting high school senior. What will college e like? is usually one of the biggest con- erns. Well, never fear, because SOAR is lere to help. SOAR (Summer Orientation and advanced Registration) is held each ummer. The purpose of SOAR is to orient ntering freshmen to campus and provide n opportunity for pre-registration. In a day and a half, freshmen learn about every- thing from university services to register- ing for fall classes, while having a good time in the process. The first day of SOAR begins with a wel- come program. Dr. Daniel R. Leasure, dean of Student Affairs, performed the opening this year. After the welcome speech, the SOAR counselors do a short skit. They did The SOAR Counselor Shuffle based on The Super Bowl Shuf- fle this year. After the welcome, the new games begin. These are non -competitive activities designed to help the freshmen relax, get to know their group, and have some fun. Games such as blob tag, caterpillar, and knots show the group that SOAR is not just a bunch of seminars, but a mixture of learning and having a good time. The next step is an academic lecture which combines information with some humor. The lecture gives an overall look at the university and how it is organized. This year ' s academic lecture was given by Robert Glenn, director of Student Activi- ties and Orientation. A meeting with department heads comes next, allowing freshmen to get more specific information on different majors. The whole group is then divided into three smaller groups. The groups alternate each hour between filling out their fall class schedules, a campus tour, and free time. One of the groups goes to a residence hall meeting instead of having the free hour. By this time the new students have had a full day and are ready for some relaxa- tion. The SOAR Caba ret is the perfect way (Cont. on page 20) TALKING OVER CAREER OPTIONS with his SOAR group, Heath Trousdale helps these new freshmen decide on some classes. WHAT I DID FOR LOVE is part of the medley from A Chorus Line which Tonya Rus- sell sang as part of the evening ' s enter- tainment. The Cabaret is held in the Great Hall of the Student Union Building. A BROADWAY THEME gives the SOAR Cabaret cast an opportunity to show their stuff. The Cabaret included highlights from past university productions including South Pacific, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Pippin, and The Music Man. Soar 19 Tkking You There STEPHEN ANDERSON THE ACTUAL REGISTRATION process is the ulti- mate reason for going through SOAR, and is the last event sched- uled during the summer sessions. (Cont. from page 19) for students to unwind. Robert Holder, assistant professor of Dramatic Arts, puts together each year ' s show. This year the show was a collection of songs from past university productions of hit Broadway shows. Songs were presented from Bye Bye Birdie, The Fantastiks, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, South Pacific, Music Man, Pippin, and A Chorus Line. The cabaret began with the song On Broadway and continued through a strong set of tunes including I Can Do That, Put on a Happy Face, Nothing Like a Dame, and Magic to Do. Holder chose the Broadway theme because he thought it would show the students some- thing they may not have experienced before. Cast members this year included Kim Cosby, Polly Gartman, Todd Goode, Tamela Hunter, Mark Mitchell, Steven Nelson, Elizabeth Ragsdale, Tonya Russell, and Richard Welborn. Immediately after the cabaret is the dance. It is a fun social event that is struc- tured as a group activity. Derek Morgan was DJ for the dance. The next day of SOAR begins with a student affairs and student services assem- bly. The purpose of the meetings is to give the students basic information on the loca- tion of various offices and the services available. The Freshman Year Simulation Game is an opportunity for students to see how their time must be organized in college. Two 20 minute semesters and a five minute Christmas break constitute the school year. Each student has a list of activities to be completed in order to get points in vari- ous areas of college life. Before the game begins, goals for their first year are set. While they are going about their tasks, the freshmen are being distracted by things such as homecoming and school closing because of snow. After the game a discus- sion is held about their goals. It usually turns out that the students had not given much thought to organizing their time. Pre-registration is the final step for SOAR students. This year ' s pre-registration went smoothly and was very orderly. The SOAR counselors are the ones who make it work. They help the freshmen relax and answer any questions they might have. Alan Bush, a SOAR counselor, said he wanted to help freshmen. As a person in new surroundings it is hard. Other counselors were James Berryhill, Shannon Cameron, Anne Clem, Chris Dobbs, Cathleen Jackson, Valerie Wray, Heath Trousdale, Paula Webb, and Regina Blake. Approximately 700 students went through SOAR. The program is a good learning experience that students look back on with a smile. It is business, but it is also fun. PROUD of the work in progress on campus, recruitment counselor Derek Morgan and SOAR counselor Chris Dobbs point out the construction work by Floyd Science Building. A new elevator was added to the building during the summer term. 20 SIGNING interest cards for various campus rganizations is also part of the orientation rocess. Diverse student organizations such is the Flor-Ala newspaper, the Wesley Foun- lation religious organization, and Circle K «rvice club extend an invitation to freshmen.

SURF ' S UP, school ' s out- Florida is a great getaway spot for vacation-hungry students. A mere eight hour drive gets you to where the action is. 22 Breaking Away Spring break, summer hiatus or the Christmas holidays— when school ' s out, boys and girls just wanna have fwn By Bea Beaux What do you do when there ' s nothing to do? Nope, this isn ' t the same complaint we whined to our mothers when we were kids— this is serious play time. School ' s out, and we deserve a break. The first instinct for the vacationing stu- dent is usually to get out of town. Out of school means out of Florence as well. There are several economical options open for the crafty student. Find a friend — or a friend of a friend — who has a condo in Gulf Shores or a cabin in Gatlinburg. You ' ll save money on lodg- ing, food, and if you ' re particularly cagey, on gasoline as well. Now you can shark fish or sail, snow ski or hike all to your heart ' s content— for almost no money! Another good option is the old Where the Boys Are ploy— pile eight people into a car and head for the beach. Send the most cunning vacationer in to rent a room— have him try to convince the motel manager there are only two people stay- ing. You won ' t fool the manager, but he ' ll probably let it slide— he ' s a regular guy. Of course money for food may be a problem when you ' re not staying with a friend. You ' ll probably live on Cheetos and Ring Dings, with an occasional foray into McDonald ' s for meat. That ' s okay, though— you ' ll be back in Towers Cafeteria soon enough. On the other hand, vacation time may mean a trip home to see good old mom and dad. This is particularly satisfying during the holiday season. And there ' s nothing like having a mother who exclaims you ' re nothing but skin and bones and spends the better part of Thanksgiving and Christmas stuffing you with turkey and cranberry sauce. Don ' t worry about the weight you ' ll no doubt gain at home— remember, you ' ll be back in Towers Cafeteria soon enough. Actually, spending your vacation at home isn ' t so bad. In the Shoals area, for instance, there ' s plenty to do. There ' s the river, for swimming, fishing, skiing, and sailing. There ' s church league Softball, and community theatre. There ' s Handel ' s Mes- siah at Christmas. And if all else fails you can spend a large part of your time hang- ing out at the mall. But no matter how you spend your vacation, one thing ' s for certain — sooner or later, it will come to an end. And no matter if it was two days or two weeks— it wasn ' t long enough.

Subtitled A Mississippi Delta Comedy, Villiams ' Twenty-Seven Wagons Full of btton deals with Jake Meighan ' s destruc- ion of neighbor Silva Vicarro ' s cotton-gin ind the use (and abuse) of his wife Flora o placate Silva. Mitch Florer, Missy Rick- tts and Richard Welborn starred in the lay. Twenty-Seven Wagons Full of Cotton falls into the more traditional category of Williams ' work. The use of sound and visual effects added to the realism of the play. The Mutilated, which has been called absurd by critics, is a much more experimental play. Trinket, the main character, has lost a breast and lives in fear that her friend Celeste will reveal her secret. On Christmas Eve, a miracle occurs and Trinket is magically healed. The cast included Elizabeth Ragsdale, Steve Nelson, Cathy Jackson, Todd Goode, Walton Cheney, Kevin Clark, Joni Wilson, William B. Cofield, Brett Davis, Mitch Florer, David Meeks, Doug Kruse and Mitch Bullock. Jim Davis, assistant professor of Dra- matic Arts and director of the play, said of The Mutilated, In this one, it is so experimental that I think audiences are sometimes confused by it. To me, it makes a very strong statement, although I ' m not sure that a lot of the audience could grasp it. He said the chorus was an effective tool in the play, helping convey the story. Extras for both productions were Kevin Clark, Vicki Gieske, Susan Dunaway, Chip O, Robin Nevels, Jim Anderson, Pam Jones, Glenda Freeman, John McMurtrie, Bret Smith, Lee Grider, Anne Clem, Molly Brown, Paula Chancellor, Cindy Adams, and G. Lipscomb. Casting for the production was not easy. The range of players went from seniors to first-term freshman Missy Ricketts. Mitch Florer said of his character Jake Meighan, It was a character I ' m not used to, a more challenging role. Davis added, Casting wasn ' t easy. Some of the seniors had previously had no opportunity to do roles outside their age bracket and experience. Davis said the cast did an excellent job. Cathy Jackson, who played Trinket, said, The part wasn ' t as much of a challenge as it was a matter of adapting to the character. I ' d never had to deal with that type of individual before in any of the plays I had been in. The fall production has traditionally been when the classics (such as Romeo and Juliet last year) are performed, Davis said, because of the music department ' s schedule and because the classics are something that he enjoys doing. He chose to do the Tennessee Williams plays because we were due for a contemporary drama. As the lights die down on another production, one thing is certain: the next one will be just as exciting, continuing a tradition of quality acting and innovative theatre. JOHN F. LENZ HANDING UP par- ticle board, stage manager Alice Gross assists stage crew members Tony Hardin and Andrew Maples in the set construc- tion. Careful designing allowed the same set to be used for both plays with a minimum of changes. THE FEW SET CHANGES needed for each play con- sisted mostly of lighting and signs. While the lights are set by the stage manager, the stage crew paints signs, such as the Cafe Boheme sign Paul Mayhan is painting. JOHN F.

STEPHEN ANDERSON STEPHEN ANDERSON Belts, Buckles, and Beauty It ' s basically a case of anything goes when it comes to fads and fashions on campus By Cathy Jackson and Jeffrey Cox If there were one sentence to describe what ' s in concerning fashion, it would be almost anything you can name. This may sound like a broad statement, but it is basically true. One can rummage into the deepest corners of the closet or go on a wild shopping spree and find something that is in current fashion. The big rage this year is over-sized cloth- ing. Sweaters as well as dresses and skirts made from sweater material are very pop ular clothing items among co-eds. Full skirts are also in vogue, as are fishnet and lace stockings. This year primary colors are in, and especially earth tones are back. This sort of back-to-basics approach is evident in all areas of fashion this year, with the changes coming from new twists on tradi- tional attire rather than a radically new design. As a college kid, I don ' t have enough money to spend on fads that will only be popular a week or month and then be put in the back of my closet, said freshman fashion merchandising major Debbie Taylor. Luckily, there are some college fashions that never go out of style— mainly blue jeans. Fads may come and go but jeans continue to be a staple of every college stu- dent ' s wardrobe. One of the most popular clothing items of the year, denim miniskirts are seen quite ofte n around campus. Shades of the ' 60s! Until last year, pais- ley was missing in action among the bell bottoms, nehru shirts, and love beads. But the revival of paisley last fall was more than just a fad. Paisley is stronger than ever, adorning jeans, ties and sweaters as well as shirts. Boots also are making a comeback this year. Black lace-up granny boots are in style as are other types. With important items such as ham- burgers and gasoline to buy, college sti dents are more likely to go for econom cal clothing above the high-priced name of Liz Claiborne, Perry Ellis, Ralph Laure and Gucci. However, if this is your cup c tea, the more discriminating buyers th year seem to prefer the Guess name Accessories from gloves to scarves seer to be in fashion. The most popular acce; sory this year is certainly th e gold or silv purse so predominant on campus. Gold chains are as popular as ever wit men as well as women. Larger chains hav begun to be seen around school frequently as have gold watches, rings, and pins. One area which has been on a stead growth rate and seems to be on the verg of a fashion explosion is skateboard cloth ing. T-shirts bearing the names of manufac turers of skateboarding equipment ar being seen more and more often. Still, there are those individuals wh frown upon the world of belts, buckles, an beauty.

STEPHEN ANDERSON Welcome Home Hands Across the Shoals was a fitting theme for the university ' s homecoming celebration By Chrissie Shedd Hands Across the Shoals, was the theme for Homecoming, and the event gave the university an opportunity to reach out and welcome the alumni and the com- munity onto the campus. Last Spring, when we were deciding the theme, there was talk of emerging the two Chambers of Commerce [Lauderdale and Colbert Counties]. It seemed appropri- ate that Hands Across the Shoals should be the theme for Homecoming, said Director of Student Activities Bob Glenn. Homecoming started off with the bon- fire and pep rally held in front of the Mar- ried Student Housing, Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Homecoming events continued through Friday, starting with a school picnic, spon- sored by the Towers Cafeteria. Hot dogs, hamburgers, potato chips, coleslaw, and other picnic foods were served at the Amphitheater. Students and faculty enjoyed the picnic, sitting on benches surrounding the area. While lunch was being served, Dr. Wil- liam Foster, head of the English depart- ment, with his family entertained students and faculty with their bluegrass band at the Amphitheater. This Foster Family is the 8th and 9th generation of their clan to sing bluegrass music. The members of the band include Dr. William Foster; his wife, Ann Foster; their son, William Foster, Jr.; their daugh- ter, Melissa Foster Greene; and son-in-law, John Greene. The Foster Family entertained their audience with songs like, How Could You Believe Me, When 1 Said I Love You, When You Know I ' ve Been A Liar All My Life. The usual homecoming parade was replaced by the campus celebration held in front of the Student Union Building at 9:30 Saturday morning. Joe Wallace said, One reason we (Cont. on page 30) LINED UP straight and proud, the majorettes perform during the Homecoming half-time show. A SUNNY DAY is a perfect excuse for a picnic, especially on the day before Homecoming. A picnic lunch served in the amphitheater draws both students and faculty.

Homecoming 29 Welcome Home JOHN HOWARD (Cont. from page 28) wanted to have the celebration on campus was to bring people out to look at the yard decorations and to see the UNA campus. At the campus celebration the alumni, faculty, and students stood as they listened to the Pride of Dixie Marching Band per- form a series of favorite songs. One of the songs the band played was the UNA fight song— and of course the cheerleaders joined in, to show the spirit of a homecom- ing weekend. Homecoming queen, Tina Pierce and her court, Molly Brown, Cindi Waldrep, Cathy Jackson and Delon Smith were recognized at the campus celebration. The yard decoration winners were announced by Joe Wallace and the awards were presented by Pierce. The winners of the yard decorations in Division I were First Place— Wesley Foun- dation; Second Place— Panhellenic; Honorable Mention— Rice Hall. The winners in Division II were First Place— Home Economics; Second Place- Beta Beta Beta; and Honorable Mention- Phi Beta Lambda Alpha Chi CIS Club Economics-Finance Club. We appreciate everyone who partici- pate in the yard decorations or any other events in Homecoming, because participa- tion by students and faculty are important for the success of any homecoming, said Wallace. HANDS ACROSS the Shoals was the theme for Homecoming as shown by this yard decoration in front of LaGrange Hall. BRUSHING on the final coat of paint, Elise May prepares a Lion ' s sign for the Homecom- ing festivities. PARADE or no parade, the Heart of Dixie Band still gave a show the morning of Homecoming— only this time the show was in the amphitheatre. Leo was brought to the campus celebra- tion. No homecoming celebration would be complete without the presence of the UNA mascot. Following the campus celebration, the Alumni Brunch was held in the Alabama Room in the Student Union Building at 10:30 a.m. At the Alumni Brunch, the Alumni of the Year were recognized. In the category of business, the Alumnus of the Year was Robbie Wilson, class of 73, manager of Wilson Bargain Center in Florence. In industry, the Alumnus of the Year was David L. Kennedy, class of 72, executive vice president of Columbia Pictures in Bur- bank, California. In the category of education, the Alumnus of the Year was Dr. Bill Wise, class of ' 63, assistant superintendent for Metropolitan Public Schools in Nashville. The pre-game show started at 1 p.m., Saturday. The Pride of Dixie Band performed in the show, and the Homecoming Court and their escorts were first presented. Each girl was presented with flowers, by last year ' s Homecoming Queen, Claudia Wear. Molly Brown was escorted by Peter Lackey, president of Commuters. DeLon Smith was escorted by Rob Tutich, vice president of Rivers Hall. Cathy Jackson was escorted by Tripp Storm, president of Student Activities Board. And Cindi Wal- drep was escorted by Greg Engle, presi- dent of IFC and Speaker of the House. We wanted everyone to know who the campus leaders are. And we thought homecoming would be a great time to recognize them, said Robert Allen Holder. The Homecoming Queen, Tina Pierce was escorted by Graham Sisson, Student Government Association President. The queen ' s crown bearer was Christopher Morgan, a first grader at Kilby, son of Barbara and Chuck Morgan. Bar- bara is director of Resident Life. During the homecoming game, UNA was defeated by University of Tennessee in Martin, 17-3. One major problem during the game was that our football team was not ready to play the game, Coach Wayne Grubb said. During the five games prior to the homecoming game, UNA threw one inter- ception. In this game, UNA threw two interceptions. UTM threw one interception during the game. Mistakes can be a deciding factor in any game. UTM made fewer mistakes than we did. And these mistakes hurt us, said Grubb. The outcome of the football game not- withstanding, Homecoming weekend is a tradition that we love to experience each year. 30 ADDING a little fun to the half-time show, the Lionettes pick up the beat and dance.

NO, it ' s not a Polynesian invasion— it ' s just the FIJIs having some fun at the Homecom- ing bonfire. Homecoming 31 MONDAY, JULY 14 marked the beginning of the end for Priscilla ' s favorite haunt, O ' Neal Hall. Some students were surprised on their return to campus in the fall to see an empty lot on O ' Neal ' s site. The building was used in later years primarily to house sorority and fraternity chapter rooms and the Commuter Lounge. O ' NEAL HALL was capped by a unique brick and stone tower. According to a report in the TimesDaily, the tower might have been saved by the demolition company had they taken it apart piece by piece. The cost of such an operation ($250,000), however, was prohibi- tive. The same report estimated that to build such a tower today would cost $1,000,000. THE T.M. BURGIN Demoli- tion Company of Birmingham won the contract to raze O ' Neal Hall. 1 By Jeffrey Cox AN ARCHITECTS RENDERING of the new University Center shows the front facade of the structure. The Student Union Building is under- going a major change, thanks to a four million dollar bond the university received. It is currently being referred to as the new SUB, which is partially right and partially wrong. The new Student Union Building is actually going to be a combination of the old building and a building to be con- structed where O ' Neal Hall was locat- ed, O ' Neal was torn down in order to start the first stage of the project. When the new building is completed, the two buildings will be unified in the middle by a glass facade, which will stretch across the gap. After all the con- struction is finished, the new SUB will be a total of three and one-half times its current size. There are several improvements as- sociated with the new bulding. The book- store will be largely expanded, as will the game room and food service. There will be offices for all student organizations including the Student Government As- sociation, a faculty lounge, conference rooms, storage areas and lockers. The Commuter Lounge, now temporarily lo- cated in the SUB ' s game room, will have a new, extensively improved home in the SUB upon completion. There will be a music room equipped with stereo head- phones for students to use. Located on the second floor will be a multipurpose room that may be used as a perfor- mance hall for lectures, conferences or possibly even theater-in-the-round. A large hall suitable for banquets, parties and dances will also be inside the SUE Although very functional, the new ac ditions will be very accommodating a well. Students will have just as much ac cess from the rear of the building a from the front of it. In fact, the studer offices will be located on the back sid of the building. Dr. Daniel R. Leasure, dean of Studer Affairs, hopes the new Student Unio Building will be the hearthplace of th campus, providing a place for student to meet and relax. According to al l indications, th greatly-expanded Student Union Builc ing should be something both the stt dents and the rest of the universit community can be proud of. All work o the building should be finished by a proximately the fall of 1988. As they sa all good things take time. 32 But What About Priscilla? Hd the razing of O ' Neal lall raise the ire of one f the campus ghosts? nd, by the way, where ) she now? I Bea Beaux Boy, if I were Priscilla, I ' d be steamed. Perfectly content to haunt O ' Neal Hall r years— at least as long as there have en students around who enjoy a good iost story —suddenly, she ' s out in the cold th the destruction of the old dormitory. Of course, O ' Neal hasn ' t heen a dormi- ry for quite a few years now. But when building was constructed in 1913, it rved as a women ' s dormitory and that ' s lere this ghostly tale begins. Priscilla, legend has it, was a student ing in the newly constructed dormitory And, for whatever reason (pick one: unhappy love affair, poor grades) she com- mitted suicide. She accomplished this by whatever means (pick one: she hanged herself in the elevator shaft, she threw her- self down the stairwell). You ' ll note that this is a kind of do-it- yourself ghost story— there are lots of gray areas which are subject to the whims of the one telling the tale. At any rate, Priscilla has been hanging around O ' Neal (ouch, that ' s really bad) for quite a few years. She ' s made the occa- sional spectral appearance (wisps of your basic garden variety ectoplasmic material) but has generally confined herself to making spooky creaking noises and gener- ating the occasional inexplicable cold draft (that ' s wind, not beer). She ' s memly ter- rorized several generations of UNA students— and given us all a change ft© speculate a bit on the meaning of (after) life sfjtetr tflqpg- But ' s what ' s a poor girl to do when her favorite haunt is turned into so much rubble in a matter of days? Is she going to be comfortable in the new SUB, or will she move on to find more familiar (traditional) surroundings? (There ' s just no romance in haunting a shiny new building.) The logical choice, it would seem to me, would be for Priscilla to move over to Wes- leyan Hall. If she were a student in the early 1900s, that ' s probably just about the only other building on, campys she ' s familiar with anyway. There ' s a problem there, though — a Confederate soldier (or maybe it ' s a Union soldier — -this is another one of those gray areas) is supposed to haunt Wesleyan. Will he be upset to have some dumb old girl ghost moving into his digs? And is there some kind of ghostly cod that forbids ' th.e haunting of a building by more th n one spirit? Someone should check into this. ft X£d Udrfl  J in rnni rj jhf I J hUXO U3 cw rrar pw - nr iFowt or iHt wmnn ht pfatfmra tow fte Wm ws it?

STEPHEN ANDERSON One More Time The spring event was such a success that the SAB couldn ' t resist giving students another fling at having fun By Vicki Pounders Flings are for spring, right? Wrong! Even in September students need a break from the books. The Student Activity Board came to the rescue with the Fall Fling September 22-25. Not only did the Fall Fling provide a break, it gave students a chance to display some of the skills necessary to enjoy col- lege life. For instance, who could survive college if they didn ' t like pizza? Not the Com- muters, Alpha Gamma Delta, or Pi Kappa Alpha. Those groups won the pizza eating contest on Monday in the co-ed, women ' s and men ' s divisions. Pizza was provided by Domino ' s. Tuesday brought the Lip-Sync Contest in the Amphitheater. Zeta Tau Alpha and Pi Kappa Alpha took top honors. Anyone who has looked in a dorm room or a commuter ' s car knows how messy things can get with books and clothes and supplies . . . students have to be able to find things in a hurry. The Wed- nesday afternoon Scavenger Hunt gave students the chance to apply those skills. Winners were the German Club, Alpha Gamma Delta, and Pi Kappa Alpha. The finale on Thursday involved relays on the practice field. The Spanish Club, Alpha Gamma Delta and Sigma Chi took top honors. A picnic followed the relays. In overall competition, the clubs rated: Co-eds: the German Club, the Spanish Club, and RESA. Women: Alpha Gamma Delta, Zeta Tau Alpha, and Alpha Delta Pi. Men: Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Chi, and Rivers Hall. ' LEDGE has to put up with a lot from his ternity brothers.

OTIS KEEPS THE EXCITEMENT up all evening long— and challenges the audience to keep pace with his energy-packed, ' 60s style rock and roll show. The event was spon- sored by the Student Activities Board. ROBERT LAWLER y 38 Otis, My Man The Animal House band rolled into town and Flowers Hall was jumping By John F. I. in: With a flair for stage-strutting, Otis Day and the Knights jumped and shouted their way into the hearts of Shoals area music enthusiasts at Flowers Hall on November 19. The opening act was The Midnighters. Drizzling rains failed to keep a substan- tial crowd from gathering to enjoy the clas- sic ' 60s style group made famous by the motion picture Animal House. In keep- ing with the campus spirit, nearly 100 people wore home-made togas. Fans were delighted as Day launched into favorites like Soul Man and Gimme Some Lovin ' . The place was alive with people screaming, waving, and hoping to catch one of several souvenir towels thrown out by the comic crooner known to many as Otis, my man . . . In a backstage interview, Day (whose real name is Dwayne Jesse) spoke of Animal House star John Belushi. During the whole time I worked on the set with John, I never once saw him high. He was always the same man, whether he was doing a take, or just talking with the crew ... he never treated anyone badly . . . ever. Day fought long and hard for the rights to the band ' s name. He explained, ' It was tough; they wanted to take our name away after the movie, but I went to court so we could keep it. Day also spoke of conflicts with former band members. He said, Things got really bad last year . . . some people tried to trick me, so I tricked them instead. Four people were fired and new artists hired to replace them. The longest distance travelled to a show was during a summer weekend when the group flew to Los Angeles and back to New York, playing three locations within 72 hours. Obviously, touring is hard work. Long road trips and cross country flights, fast food, and fans upon fans dogging the artists for autographs and special momentos are only a few of the hazzards of national notoriety. Without well trained security people around, life on the road can be somewhat dangerous. However, for all its negative aspects, fame and wealth do have a popular, brighter side. Lavish wardrobes and luxu- rious living are the artists ' rewards when they are not on tour. While they are together, band members must work as a team so that everything goes off like clock- work. Day commented, We always get along just fine . . . like six Knights and a Day! The turnout for the concert reflected that popular, undying spirit that all students share, and Otis Day and the Knights will always have a special place in the hearts of those in attendance that night. And echoes of Toga, Toga, Toga! still linger in Flowers Hall. Producing a hit concert By Jeffrey David Cox The producers, a popular college- circuit band, brought their show to campus September 13, playing before a very responsive crowd at Flowers Hall. Such Producers ' classics as I Love Lucy, She, Sheila, What She Does to Me, and What He ' s Got kept the crowd thoroughly entertained, creating a bond between group and audience often absent from many of today ' s large arena concerts. Clearly a group that does not need gimmicks to entertain, the Producers played a tight set without the use of customary extended guitar solos, sex- ist dialogue and obscenities. They did what they do best: play good clean rock and roll. By the time of their third and final encore, a full-tilt version of the Beatles ' classic, A Hard Day ' s Night, the crowd was on its feet in approval. Opening the concert was local band Radio Tokyo, popular in their own right. Their set contained a wide variety of cover material and original tunes. The highlights of their show were Lynyrd Skynyrd ' s guitar opus, Free Bird and Bob Seger ' s Old Time Rock and Roll. VOCALIST-GUITARIST for The Producers, Van Temple raids their cata- log of hits to turn out one showstopper after another. The Producers were called on for three encores.

Haywire Vending Machines Machines are only human and are allowed a few mistakes, but everyone has his threshold of mental anguish derived from struggling in the cola wars. By Mark Narmore, Mike Clay, and Michelle Stumpe Ever notice something amiss with the vending machines on campus? Ever gotten your feathers ruffled and wanted to bring your dad ' s pickup truck to haul off a given machine because it cheated you out of your last bit of pocket change? Well, you ' re not alone. Not even the highest level of rational, logical college intellect can prevent a cheated, deprived student from wreaking vengence on a cock-eyed, thieving vend- ing machine. The installation of kick pads on the machines might prevent denting, but will do nothing to ease the violent frus- trations vent out upon them. Stealing money is not the machines ' only claim to infamy (though they have, deservedly, been compared to the one- armed bandits in Las Vegas). Crushed chips, broken cookies, and melted candy bars are all too common. Ever pushed a coke-or-cola of your choice and had another brand drop out? Ever get a warm coke from a vending machine? Hot, flat Cokes and solidly frozen Pepsies are fre- quently spit forth from the drink machines. Some vicious machines have been known to hurl cans across hallways, causing the cans to spew violently until empty. More malicious machines greet students with generous surges of electricity. Th make you suffer through hellfire and vc tage just to get a blinking drink. And the sadistic machines love makir their victims beg for their product.

Ever only had nickels and lose coun You might have already fed in 60 cents at think that you have neglected to put in nickel or so, because the drink won ' t con out and you continue to pump chani endlessly into this receptacle.

Next time you ' re ripped off by vending machine, however, think twii before kicking it; it just might kick bac LOOMING OMINOUSLY in hallways and lobbies across campus are vending machines that are taller than we.

ROBERT LAWLER 42 Bridging the Gap A merger between SAB and the SGA House will help facilitate communication to students By Jeffrey David Cox I think the main problem we run into on a regular basis is communication back to the students, letting them know what we ' re doing. That ' s the primary motivation behind the merger we ' re planning with the House of Representatives. We can get a connectedness back to the student body, said Bob Glenn, director of Student Activi- ties and Orientation. In an effort to keep students better informed of university events, Glenn sug- gested the merger of the Student Activi- ties Board and the House of Representatives. The House will remain a separate entity but will have additional responsibilities. The only activitiy the House is presently involved in is Honors Day. The main concern of Graham Sisson, Student Government Association presi- dent, is that the House continues to exist and is not absorbed into the Student Activi- ties Board. The purpose of this is to modify the House. We want to make sure the House would not be done away with, Sisson said. Under the plan, the House will be renamed the University Program Council and will not be a part of the Student Activi- ties Board. It will retain all current House members. The Council would thus be ex officio members of the Student Activities Board, attending meetings and reporting what happened at each meeting to their respective organizations. The Student Activities Board has a good purpose, but it lacks a communication link with students, Glenn said. We feel like combining the Student Activities Board with the House of Representatives that we will find a constituency, a more direct means of keeping in touch with the stu- dents so they will know what we ' re doing. The merger should be completed in the spring, with elections for SAB members held in March so the group will have time to plan for the coming fall semester. The University Program Council representatives will be chosen by the organizations they will represent. I WANT everyone on the Board to get fired up— get involved with Stu- dent Activities, said SAB President Tripp Storm. DIRECTOR-TURNED-COOK Bob Glenn prepares the burgers for the SAB cookout.

What do you do on the weekend? Some students who stay in the dorm ask themselves why? To them the weekends are much like weekdays. The differences are no classes and fewer people. It seems that dorm students occupy themselves with sleeping, studying, and washing clothes (not necessarily in that order). And, of course, there are the usual parties to go to and a variety of other interesting things to do. What do the students who go home (or elsewhere) on the weekends do? They seem quite content to follow the example of the dorm students who stay on campus. Their favorite occupations are sleeping, studying, letting Mom do their laundry, and eating a home-cooked meal. The rest of their weekend is occupied with things that commuters do. And, since we are at a so-called com- muters college, it ' s only practical to ask what the commuters do. While they follow the previous examples of dorm students, quite a few of them enjoy watching their home team play ball. (By home team, I refer to their high school teams.) Of course we do have those who make it to the university ' s home games to help cheer the team on. Movies seem to be high on the list of activities. It doesn ' t matter if you ' re rent- ing a VCR or going to a theater, everyone enjoys a good movie with friends. Friends? It seems that we all enjoy spending time with friends from high school. It ' s great to see your old friends and talk about what ' s happening to you now, said Mindy Morgan, a freshman from Moulton. Unfortunately, the weekend is not all play. Sometimes, it is a fact that you must work. Work schedules are often arranged by students so that after work there is still time for . . . . . . possibly the favorite of all weekend : activities: dating. Certainly, not everyone goes out every weekend, but we all do sometime or another. If you can ' t find Mr. (or Ms.) Right to go out with on the weekend, you can always turn it into a time to go out with friends. Did I mention friends again? That puts us back into the cycle. It seems that it really doesn ' t matter if you stay in the dorms, go home, or commute everyday. We are all doing the same thing each weekend. Catch you at the movies next week. That ' s me sitting there with a group of friends, or if I ' m lucky, a date! ROBERT LAWLER STEPHEN ANDERSON MOUNTAIN DEW in hand. Scooter faces a long weekend of hitting the books.

On February 10, lummeting temperatures prepared the ay for several inches of ice and snow, loads were closed and classes cancelled. is a result, many students were stuck at ome or in their dorms, without anything do. Sound like a disaster? Not at all. Instead, le ice was an excuse for a short holiday. Dr 2V2 days while classes weren ' t meet- ig, students partied in the dorms and layed in the snow and ice. Sliding down le steep slopes on campus seemed to be le most popular outdoor event. While irdboard and cafeteria trays were used by me to slide on, others managed to do lenty of slipping and sliding while just trying to walk. Though such a storm usually does occur each year, it always seems to catch every- one by surprise. Perhaps they forget com- pletely about winter storms as they bask at the poolside all summer. This summer ' s heat was definitely enough to make anyone forget about winter. All those clear sunny days looked great, but the heat was unbearable. Air conditioning helped, of course, but the spring semester was almost over before a majority of campus buildings had turned the air on. Shorts and sleeveless shirts became the fashion rage. Scant clothing helped relieve the heat considerably out- side. Indoors, it was a nuisance. Bare legs stick to chairs, peeling off rather painfully. If the class happened to be air conditioned, the excess of bare skin got cold. There was no happy medium in which to be com- fortable. While winter and summer have some- what predictable weather patterns, spring and fall are predictably unpredictable. This spring was late and short. One week mimicked winter, while the very next was summer. All through October, the summer weather held on, making it the longest spell of summer in years. November banished the warm weather and hailed in winter with early forecasts of freezing rain. The season change came so abruptly that many stu- dents were forced to layer up on summer clothes to keep warm until they could haul out the winter wardrobes. But as soon as they had out all their wool, temperatures rose to the mid-sixties for a few short days. Once more, seasonably cold temperatures occurred, and an epidemic of runny noses and flus raged on campus. With so many drastic weather changes that occur locally, how can students even guess at what to wear to stay comfortable? If they tune in to weather forecasts daily, they might be able to keep ahead of the weather. If not, then they are in for a sur- prise each time it changes. It is not at all unusual to see a student dressed in shorts, walk out of the dorm on a November day exclaiming, Hey, it ' s cold out here! What ' s the deal? It was warm yesterday. He ' s not stupid, just unadjusted to weather changes. But how can anyone adjust to something as unpredictable as weather?

Most of the candidates for statewide offices attended the Kickoff, which gave voters in the Shoals area an opportu- nity to meet with the candidates. the voters ' frustration over the Democratic party in the Democratic primary runoff. In the primary, Attorney General Charlie Graddick narrowly defeated Lt. Gov. Bill Baxley. But Baxley challenged the election and won, as a party subcom- mittee declared that Graddick ' s winning was the result of illegal crossover votes by Alabamians who voted in June ' s Republi- can primary. Graddick appealed the decision with no satisfaction, later waging an expensive write-in campaign. Seeing no possible chance of winning, he dropped out of the race a week before the November 4 elec- tion, with most of his supporters flocking over to Hunt ' s corner. You haven ' t seen the last of Charlie Graddick, the frustrated attorney general commented. For the Democrats, however, the race for U.S. Senator proved uplifting as Con- gressman Richard Shelby unseated Repub- lican Jeremiah Denton. It was one of tl closest elections in the state ' s history, wi. Shelby winning by a margin of less the one percent.

In the spring, most of the statewide candidates attended a political festival hosted by WBRC-TV ' s Tom York. Baxley, Graddick, Hunt, Shelby, and other candidates made appearances on and around campus. The campus community also took part in a spring poll conducted by the Political Science Club, the Young Democrats, and College Republicans. In October the Flor- Ala student newspaper polled students and faculty. The Flor-Ala poll showed a strong preference for cross-party voting among members of the university community, a trend which was reflected statewide. Patriotism reaches new peaks STEPHEN ANDERSON By Edward Parker The year of 1986 will be remembered s the year the Statue of Liberty got her tee-lift, the year that the United States truck back at terrorism, and the year 1 which pride in our country reached ew peaks. The American people are filled with atriotic spirit, and that is reflected in the hoals as well. On the Fourth of July the irgest crowd ever assembled in the hoals area watched the bombs burst- ig in air above the Tennessee River in me of the most spectacular fireworks isplays ever done in the area. Junior David Turner said, ' I went with bunch of friends to watch the reworks — it was fantastic. You could tell everybody was having a great time and the celebration did not end at the river. You could hear people shooting off fireworks almost all night. In New York City thousands of sky rockets and the reconditioned Lady of the Harbor oversaw the celebrations of over a million people who turned out for the party. National television carried the hours of entertainment marking the Statue of Liberty ' s rededication and the great American tradition of freedom. The patriotism that is sweeping across America is not only reflected in the traditional celebrations of patriotism. It is also evidenced by the movies and television shows that we watch. How many of us cheered when Chuck Nor- ris kicked the terrorists out of Florida or hollered for more as Rambo fought his way back to ' Nam to bring our boys home ? President Ronald Reagan has be- come a symbol of this new American pride. Individually we may or may not agree with him, but we do approve of the way he is pushing the American flag back to the position of respect it deserves. The head of the university ROTC pro- gram, LTC Lester Rooker said, Patri- otism is stronger today than it has been in a long time, and pride in the military is just one aspect of it. In our ROTC pro- gram we are working hard to attract the attention of the student body and we can tell that there is definitely a feeling of renewed patriotism among the student body. Pride in the military, pride in the government, and most of all, pride in ourselves is evident everywhere. CAMPAIGN SIGNS adorn the front of Norton Auditorium as Campaign Kick- off begin s.

The Central High School graduate said she picked the university drama program because of its personal touch and the opportunity it offers to get acquainted with people on campus and in the business. (The program has produced graduates like Will Stutts and Pam Long who have excelled in the national realm.) Also, she was impressed with the fact that at UNA people took time to know people. The camaraderie that followed relieved some of her doubts about making it in the entertainment industry. For those students who have doubts, I believe anybody can make it if they want to bad enough and are willing to work for it, the Red Bay native said. She credits assistant professor of dra- matic arts Robert Allen Holder with help- ing her combat stage fright and building her self-confidence. Russell had taken an acting class with Holder during her fresh- man year and he encouraged her to take more. His encouragement was what I needed. I then picked theatre as my major, Russell, now a senior, said. Through the UNA speech communica- tion and theatre department, Russell has performed in many campus, as well as local productions, including Gypsy, Sugar, Pippin, Dutchman, Lou Ann Hampton, The Nutcracker, and A Chorus Line. She has worked in the Summer Orientation and Advanced Regis- tration (SOAR) cabaret casts for the past two summers. While doing an interview, just prior to going on stage for the final 1986 SOAR show, it was obvious she had pre-curtain jitters. She took a few deep breaths, said a prayer to herself and rubbed the ruby in her class ring. She shrugs, I ' m supersti- tious. I have always heard that a ruby is a kind of protector and guide. After a summer of two shows a week, Russell is tired, but still exuberant. It is time for the whole cast to go on. The stage is dark with the stools in place, but everyone knows where to go. Russell finds her stool, sits down with her legs crossed and a hand on knee. She is hoping she does not look as nervous as she feels. The lights come up and the chorus begins. The rays streaming down add a glow to her blonde hair as her eyes radi- ate with energy. The audience responds to the positive energy she is sending out as she steps off her stool into a medley from A Chorus Line. As the spotlight focuses on her face, she performs her part to the exact degree. There is not a moment of hesitation. In a deep Southern accent, she speaks in a clear, audible voice, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers, a line borrowed from A Street- car Named Desire. She returns to her stool in the dark, her heart pounding. The prize for stardom is high, but, ah, the burning desire pays the price gladly. Russell knows that. To stay in good phys- ical condition all the time, she pays her dues pounding the pavement in mile- sprints. She runs not for distance, but to build stamina. But the real workouts come in the gym and the swimming pool. Tr exercise also carries a therapeutic featui in that it helps her release tension thl builds with really getting into a role. Once she goes to Hollywood next yea she knows she must face another test- that of surviving while waiting a role ini movie. To do that, she is prepared to f back on her minor in nutrition. Plus, she is adding another dimensic as she begins to develop her writir talents, even looking at the songwritir field in which her mother has had son- experience. Russell often looks to the lives of h mother Jenny Strickland Russell ar entertainer Barbra Streisand for inspiratic and guidance. Russell, who has put emphasis on actir and directing in her major study, admif the accomplishments of Streisand who n only acts and directs productions, b produces them as well, and does all su cessfully. Her mother, who hails from Red Ba but now lives in Cypress Inn, Tenn., h written songs for years. Several have be recorded, including The Ceremony George Jones and Tammy Wynette at All The Praises, which has been cut Jones, Joe Stampley and Connie Smit Russell noted, If I had my mothe spirit and could do what Barbra has bei able to accomplish, there would be stopping me.

The April 14 party was a day-long affair catered by McDonald ' s, which provided decorations and a huge customized birth- day cake. The Golden Girls and Ambas- sadors hosted the party and served over 500 people who came by to wish the lion a happy birthday. L.J.

Some of the cards contain more than a birthday message. They contain donations vital to Leo ' s upkeep. The mascot is not funded by the university. This year one of Leo ' s sponsors gave him a $1,000 birthday check. Throughout the year, donations are accepted. Wallace said, The money that Leo gets goes a long way to pay his food and other bills. This year Leo needed extra money to pay for the repair work needed on his large travel cage after its wreck last year on the way to the Troy State game. One local farmer offered to give Leo a butchered calf for his birthday supper.

Any thoughts of writ- ing a paper or studying are quickly dis- missed. After all, aren ' t the summer months supposed to be a time of rest from schoolwork? Well, that ' s not always the case. There ' s a dedicated group of students who choose to relinquish some of the pleasures of the summer months in order to attend classes. Many of them divide their time between working and going to class. It ' s a busy time for most students but there ' s a positive aspect to taking summer classes. Summer school is quick, said Kip Box, a senior from Addison. I like summer school because it ' s faster and you ' re exposed to a more concentrated amount of coursework. The only thing I dislike is that there can be more homework to do on a daily basis, he said. In the summer, I have more time to study and prepare for class. I go better pre- pared to class in the summer, said Dr. John Roth, professor of English. When you ' re teaching two classes, there ' s more opportunity to do what you ' re supposed to do, and that is to read and think and get ready for class so you can bring some- thing to class each time, he said. Dr. Roth said that despite the shorter length of the summer session, he covers the same material that he would during a regular semester. In a sense, you can feel a little rushed but that has a beneficial aspect in that there is a concentration that takes place that some educators feel is good, he said. He ' s noticed some differences in the stu- dents who attend summer school. Their attitudes are usually pretty good. I think students who go in the summer are moti- vated or they wouldn ' t be here. They ' re willing to work and have a certain inner discipline that gets them here in the summer. It ' s one of the main reasons I like to teach in the summer, he said. For some teachers, meeting classes for five days a week might not be a good arrangement but for Pauline Gravlee, associate professor of sociology, it ' s a posi- tive situation. I enjoy meeting the classes everyday. You can keep a trend going, a continuous idea. When you get through with a certain subject, you can move on to something else. Also, you don ' t have other classes coming in and breaking the thought, she said. Gravlee has observed that summer school attracts different groups of students: some who are coming in from other schools and those who are taking courses to try to get ahead or catch up. She believes there are less distractions for the students. You don ' t have the extracurric- ular activities that can take the students ' mind off the classwork, she said. Although there are advantages to attending summer school, she ' s not in favor of students making it a habit. I don ' t think every student should come to a summer session, especially every year, because I think they wear out. When stu- dents come to school all year round and finally graduate, I hate to see them real happy to get out of this place. I think if they ' ve had some breaks in their semesters they seem to like us when they leave, she said. Dr. John Wakefield, associate profes- sor of education, doesn ' t mind teaching in the summer. He enjoys teaching the graduate students who have the time and motivation to go to school in the summer to get further education. I think to go to summer school you have to be motivated. It ' s a sacrifice, so people keep that in mind, he said.

I give the standard undergraduate course that ' s accelerated in the summer but with the graduate stu- ' dents, I tend to give them more freedom lin the summer than I do in the fall and jspring. The summer session can seem long and jmeeting class everyday could be looked iupon as a negative factor but it does have ' an advantage. The students have a much (better sense of continuity, said Faye Wells, associate professor of science. f ' They don ' t forget things. In the summer Ithey meet five days a week and can stay ' on top of the material and make better grades. I get much better response from !the students, she said. In her summer classes, she covers the same material as in the regular semesters and doesn ' t change the final exam. Wells jelieves daily classes are important. The najor thing is that the classes meet every i day. The day-to-day continuation of the •naterial covered in class makes it easier, she said. The thing I like about it most of all is hat pressures which seem to build during he regular session are diminished in the ' iummer. It ' s a more relaxed and easier itmosphere to teach it, said Leatrice Tim- nons, associate professor of English. She las no complaints about teaching in the ;ummer because it gives her more time to levote to her students. I like it because have more time for the students individu- illy, and that ' s particularly helpful when eaching writing. I have a small writing class md it ' s been very much tutorial. I ' ve been ible to spend a lot of time with them that don ' t have during the regular session, she said. Mrs. Timmons realizes that daily classes require some additional preparation but she accepts it as a part of teaching summer school. She enjoys t he teacher-student relationship that develops during the summer. I have noticed that over the years, students who became very good friends were students who I had during the summer. I think it ' s the relaxed atmosphere that contributes to that. They feel free to come by my office. I like summer school. I really do, she said. The fact that summer sessions are shorter than a regular semester is only one advantage. The courses that you don ' t want to take during the fall and spring can be taken in the summer, said Kelvin Ugonabo, a Nigerian student in the MBA program at the university. Of course, some students take certain classes in the summer because they believe they can survive almost anything for only eight weeks or so. Perhaps it ' s a small blessing that the summer sessions aren ' t as long as the other semesters. The hot weather can be a real distraction from studying. There ' s some- thing about it that interferes with students concentration and reminds them that spending time at the lake or pool would be much more refreshing than walking to class. Aside from the discomfort of the weather and the accelerated pace of the courses, there tends to be a more relaxed atmosphere during the summer session. You get to know people better in the summer since you ' re able to see them more often, said Teresa Colvin, a senior from Hamilton.

The scene is from the hilar- ious one-act play, Patio. UNA has helped Cathy Jackson adjust to the customs of the South. The native of New Hampshire attended a high school where there were very few contacts with southerners or the South. Jackson ' s parents moved to Alabama in the fall of 1983. She did not want to leave high school in the middle of her senior year, so she remained in New England until graduation. She wanted to be near her parents, so she decided to attend an Alabama university. Her parents, who now live in Decatur, suggested UNA. I felt UNA would allow me time to gain a foothold and retain an identity as an individual, she said. When I first started at UNA I was con- cerned southerners would resent me for being from New England and would treat me differently. None of Jackson ' s fears have come true. During my three years here, the people have accepted me for who I am despite the difference in our life styles. The communications and English major said, An effective communicator needs to be aware of all cultures and viewpoints on social issues. I am from so far North, the South seemed like a foreign culture to me. The size of UNA also made it very easy for me to get involved. She has received such honors as: novice of the year ' 84, host of the Florence Civitan cerebral palsy telethon, UNA Summer Orientatior Advanced Registration (SOAR) counseloi ' 86 and Who ' s Who Among Americar Colleges and Universities. She was electee to the 1986 homecoming court. She has also had lead roles in the fol- lowing UNA drama productions: Space Pandas, Pippin and Romeo anc Juliet. She appeared in a commercial foi Burch and Hatfield. She had the role o: Trinket in the fall production of Tennes see Williams ' The Mutilated, Novembei 6-8 in Norton Auditorium. Jackson said, I have been fortunate enough to have worked under top quality professors such as Dr. Eugene Balof (heac of the department of speech communica tion and theater), Jim Davis (assistan professor of dramatic arts), Paul Jone; (assistant professor of modern languages) Dr. Edward Foote (associate professor o dramatic arts and speech) and Mrs. Lea trice Timmons (associate professor o English) .

He also received honorable mention in the 1985 Music City Song Festival with the song I Can See Me In Your Eyes. Narmore became a Broadcast Music, Inc., writer and publisher last year at the suggestion of Darrell Glover when he started his own publishing company, Strik- ing Resemblance. The UNA junior worked with Glover, the president of Lamp Records, to produce his first solo album, Against the Grain. The title cut from this LP is an ode to the American farmer. The album fea- tures 10 of Narmore ' s original songs. These songs are a combination of pop, country and blues style music. This 21 -year-old musician has gained more experience in the music business through his job at a Lexington radio sta- tion, WLX, where he worked for two years. When I started this job it was a part- time job, but it eventually worked into a full-time job. Narmore began working at WVNA in Tuscumbia in August as an air personality.

These immortal words may be remem- bered by students as spoken by Alyssa Ashley, 1985 Miss UNA. This monumen- tal achievement was only one of many for Ashley, launching her on a wave of popularity leading her to success in the world of commercial music. Success began to follow Ashley even before she began college. While a junior at Mars Hill Bible School, she won the state competition in the Voice of Democracy speech contest. This led to her receiving the Golden Scroll Award and the Freedom Foundation Award from Valley Forge for patriotism. Her speech is in the Congres- sional Record. As a freshman at UNA, Ashley entered and won her first beauty pageant, the Fairest of the Fair, in the fall of 1983. The next year she was chosen Miss Smith Lake. She was also chosen Miss Merry Christmas for the Cerebral Palsy Center for three years in a row. Then came the Miss UNA pageant. She placed first runner-up overall in the 1983 contest, winning the talent competition with a dazzling performance of Come In From The Rain. Continuing her tradition of excellence, Ashley was also chosen first runner-up in 1984. The next year, according to her mother, Alyssa ' s dream came true. Ashley claimed the title of Miss UNA as a junior, also winning the swimsuit competition and the talent portion of the contest with a well- received rendition of Kiss Me In The Rain. Shortly after her victory in the pageant, she traveled to Washington, D.C. for the Alabama Northeast Tourism Association. While in Washington, she performed a song with Bruce Springsteen ' s keyboard player, Danny Federichi. With an impressive scope of interests and talents, Ashley began to demonstrate her theatrical skills in Pippin as Fastrada, Pippin ' s mother. She also appeared in the spring one act production of Torn Chords, directed by Sandy Williams. Additionally, Ashley ' s face and voice were featured in local television and radio adver- tising spots. She is a very accomplished musician and a very talented singer, but she is also a very good actress, Robert Allen Holder, assistant professor of Dramatic Arts said. Singing is Ashley ' s true love. She has appeared in three SOAR Cabarets, performing such songs as Flashdance (What A Feeling), Down On the Comer and her self-penned Me and My Piano, written especially for SOAR students. In 1983 Ashley did lead vocals on a record for one of her commercial music classes, a song entitled Fight Back. The 45 was re-released after she won the Miss UNA crown . A commercial music major, Ashley plays piano, guitar, congas and a variety of other percussion instruments as well as singing. During her senior year Alyssa worked at local radio stations, developing an impromptu style that would help her in her professional life. On radio, you have to know what to say on the spur of the moment. You have to do that on stage too, Ashley said. Alyssa has also served as a Golden Girl while at UNA. She was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, a Sigma Chi Lil ' Sig and served as a Sigma Chi Rush Hostess. Currently, Ashley is in Nashville, Ten- nessee singing with Straight Lace, progressive country group. BY JEFFREY DAVID COX AND JOHN F. L E N Z 68 Seniors Hu-Jo ROBERT LAWLER KIM HUTCHENS.

The researchers, who concentrated on the U.S. Education Mission in 1946, were also looking for the personal papers of the mission ' s members, which included those of former Florence State University (now UNA) president E.B. Norton. Norton, and the others in the mission, traveled to Japan in March, 1946, to help update and modernize Japanese educa- tional procedures. The leader of the research team, Eiichi Suzuki, LL.D., said that the education mis- sions resulted in a form of democratic jducation being established in Japan. Suzuki also said that the missions both overhauled and simplified the Japanese school systems. Before the Second World War, [the] Japanese school system was very com- plex, Suzuki said. Suzuki also said that at the present, he believes American school systems are more excellent than their Japanese counterparts, and that the research studies will also aid in the future development of Japanese schools. American students are more active than Japanese students, Suzuki said, who suffer from what he termed examination woe and many, many tests. The research team (which included Soji Katakami and Motohiro Ohashi) was one of two visiting the U.S., under a research grant provided by the Japanese Ministry of Education. Suzuki and his team only stayed at the university one day, in Collier library base- ment archives. The other research team visited the university on September 1 to continue working with Dr. Norton ' s papers. In a similar survey trip last year, Japanese researchers visited 19 institutions in 16 states, looking through archives and interviewing Americans involved in the educational reform. During this year ' s visit, the groups worked at institutions in Washington, New York, Iowa, and Tennessee. Suzuki said that changes in the educa- tional system were rapid after the war, representing a drastic change in a very short time with the help of U.S. educators. Also as a result of the post-war effort, Suzuki said that the Norton name is very famous in educational circles in Japan. e B R D V Seniors 73 Seniors Mc-Mo LYNN McNEES, Vinemont Social Work KEN McWILLIAMS, Russellville Music Education RICKY McWHORTER, Moulton Biology CAROLE MEDLEY, Florence Business Education JAN MELTON, Florence Biology VICKI MESPLAY, Hillsboro, MO Social Work KEVIN MILLARD, Bryant Geography NORMAN MILLER, Florence CIS ROBIN MILLER, Haleyville Interior Design CHRIS MITCHELL, Florence Management Information Systems MARLA MONTGOMERY, Moulton Fashion Merchandising RUTH MONTGOMERY, Florence Social Work LE MOORE, Florence Social Work JULIE MOORE, Russellville Accounting TIM MOORE, Haleyville Marketing Management J on-traditional studies Some students just don ' t fit the standard mold — and the university is making adjustments The university is offering a new degree program to address the needs of the older, non-traditional student. Dr. Joseph C. Thomas, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, said the new degree will be for a bachelor ' s in general studies, much like the old liberal arts pro- gram many universities used to have. UNA has experienced an increase in the number of non-traditional students and wants to offer special programs for this emerging group of students, Dr. Thomas said. About 20 percent of the university ' s stu- dents are non -traditional. This degree will be designed for the person who has been out of school for a while and who is not looking at graduate school upon completion of this program. It will be designed to fit each individual ' s needs, Thomas said. There are some occupations that require only a college degree and not a specialty. This fits that, he said. The 128-semester hour program is divided into several components. First, a student must complete the 44-55 semester hour general studies core required of all students in traditional degree programs in the School of Arts and Sciences. Another course can be substituted for the two-hour physical education requirement. BGS students must take 18 semester hours each in three of four groups: Liberal arts; social and behavioral sciences; natural sciences and mathematics; and business, administrative and community services. Then, students must complete 12 moi semester hours in one of the first thr« groups for the designated area of concei tration for the degree. The latter grot (business, administrative and communi services) is prohibited as an area of coi centration because of the often need f( licensing or certification in its career field The remaining four to 15 hours needf may be taken in any courses. To be admitted to the program, person will apply as a special student ar must have been a high school graduate f a minimum of seven years. The program can be handled with tl current faculty and university resource Dr. Thomas said.

Bill Matthews, director of the Office of bntinuing Education, said the Muscle Shoals and Nashville music industry eaders who were assembled for the : riday, August 8, workshop by director of nformation Services Bill Jarnigan and rofessional songwriter record producer erry Skinner created a lot of interest imong aspiring songwriters from as far iway as Texas and Oklahoma. Among the workshop panelists were the ice presidents of four firms: Walt ldridge— Fame Studios and publishing omplex; Jim Black— SESAC (a perform- ng rights organization); Kevin Lamb— 4aypop Music Group (the group labama ' s publishing firm); and Roger Sovine — Broadcast Music, Inc. (a per- forming rights organization) . Aldridge also wrote Ronnie Milsap ' s hit [There ' s] No Getting Over Me, voted ASCAP ' s most performed country song of 1982. Lamb is a former UNA commercial music instructor. Merlin Littlefield, southeastern regional associate director of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), also spoke at the all-day work- shop, as did Bob Kirsch, the Nashville divi- sion manager of Welk Music Group. Other publishers participating included Cal Free- man (also studio manager at Broadway Sound Studio in Sheffield) and Steve Sin- gleton (professional manager of Screen Gems Colgems EMI Music in Nashville). Songwriters Ava Alridge, Donnie Fritts, Jerry Wallace and Travis Wammack were also there. Aldridge wrote Sharing the Night Together for Doctor Hook. Fritts, who plays keyboards for Kris Kristofferson, wrote We Had It All for Willie Nelson and Ray Charles. Wallace, who has co- produced three number one hits on the Forester Sisters with T erry Skinner, also wrote, with Skinner, Even the Nights Are Better, an international hit by Air Supply. Wammack, who has played on more than 60 million-sellers as a guitarist, has five of his songs on Little Richard ' s latest London, England, recording project. Matthews said one of the strongest fea- tures of the workshop was the song critique by professional songwriters, publishers and record producers. Workshop registrants brought a cassette tape of their songs along with three typewritten copies of their lyrics in order for the critique to be made. 8 y B I j Ft N I G A N Seniors 77 Seniors Re-Ro CHERYL REEDER, Pickwick Dam, TN Social Work PAULA RECK, Russellville Secondary Education PHILLIP REMKE, Florence Physical Education LISA RHODES, Florence Marketing Management ALAN RHUDY, Guin KATHY RICE, Huntsville Marketing SUSAN RICHARDS, Huntsville Radio and T.V.

The Halloween party for the children is lot an annual event. Each year the Home ind Family Management class sponsors different activities for different age groups. The purpose of this experience is for )ur students, who may go into a field vhere they will need to learn different iating habits of certain age groups, said )r. Dunn. The meal was prepared by the Home nd Family Management students. They repared baked beans, celery with cheese spread, carrot sticks, peach halves (com- plete with smiling faces made with raisins and cherries), cupcakes with nuts and rai- sins and white icing, and a lettuce decoration. Terry McDonald, one of Dunn ' s stu- dents, said, We researched the eating habits of children. We found that the food should be made attractive and colorful, and that finger food is appropriate for chil- dren. With all this in mind, we tried to pre- pare food that would fit the eating habits of children and the four basic food groups. One parent of each child was invited to eat with the group. Dr. Dunn explained, We thought this would give the parents a chance to see the students work with their children. Students were dressed up as a bunny rabbit, an Indian, a mouse, and a muppet. We wanted the party to be entertain- ing instead of a scary experience. We had one girl dressed up in a bunny rabbit costume, but her face was not covered up, so the children would not be uncomforta- ble or frightened, said Jacqueline Osborne, supervising teaching at Kilby. When the chldren arrived, they were shy. But after seeing their parents, they became more relaxed and cheerful. The students of the Home and Family Management class learned the types of foods that children like, and learned how to manage their time to get everything prepared. Student Sally Bennett said, The party was definitely a learning experience. e y H Ft I H D D Seniors 79 ientors Sc-Si JOSEPH SCOTT, Dekalb, MS Sociology TrM SCOTT, Hodges Secondary Education JANA SELF, Eva Social Work CHRIS SHAW, Birmingham CHRISS1E SHEDD, Holly Pond Journalism History Education KAREN SHELBY, Savannah, TN Elementary Education BARRY SHELTON, Arab Communications LAURA SHELTON, Huntsville SHARON SHEPERD, Waterloo Accounting Finance JOHN SHOTTS, Hamilton Management MELISSA SHULL, Waynesboro, TN Elementary Education SUSAN SHULL, Florence Nursing JAMES SHULTS, Romeoville, IL History DAMIEN SIMBECK, Loretto, TN Biology DONNA SIMMONS, Minor Hill, TN Professional Biology PRACTICING ONE of their stunt routines; the football cheerleadering squad poses foL photographs.

This year there were 300 squads in the Univer- sal Cheerleaders Association Division II competition. We are proud of our squad and thank them for representing UNA so well. They are a hard-working group, Brister said. The top two slots this year went to Mis- sissippi College and Jacksonville State University. Squads were required to submit a video tape of their performance at a game. The squad was assisted in this endeavor by alumnus Kenny Posey and student Sandy Jackson, both of whom are employees of the WOWL-TV news department in Florence. The squads are judged for their com- munication and projection, fundamental cheering skills, group technique and crowd appeal, image and overall effect.

The fans are the most important part of the Lions ' games. The love, support, and loyalty of the fans make it all worthwhile for the players. How do the players feel about the fans? They absolutely love them. The fans are the extra man on the field (or court, as the case may be). According to Tamp Harris, a senior basketball player, the fans can make a difference in winning or losing. It ' s the fans ' job to come and cheer for us, and yell at the other team. The other team hears what the fans say, and it shakes them up. The fans not only shake up the other team, they let the Lions know when they ' re doing things right or wrong. That ' s part of the fun of the game for Joey Putnam, a freshman from Virginia. I like to watch the [basketball] team play because they ' re so active. When they don ' t do things the way they should, we yell at them until they get their act together. If we think that the games are boring when no one else comes, what do the players think? It ' s worse than playing street ball. It helps to have the fans there. It would be worse than practice without them, according to Terry Patterson, another senior basketball player. The next step to helping the team? Bring more fans to the games to help cheer the Lions on to more and more victories. The team feels that if there were more fans there, the team would win more. By going to the games the fans not only show their love for the team— they are showing their pride in being part of the university. This helps inspire the team, because they know that we are all one big family, ready to support each other while reaching for our goals.

This was the question Radio-Television- Film majors Sharon Crouch and Tom Johnson faced when they decided to work on a movie depicting the life of Verne Miller, who ran the rackets for gangster Al Capone in the 1920s and 1930s. Crouch and Johnson left school for the five weeks of filming, for which they received six hours of intern credit. As a result of cooperative work UNA performed with the Alabama Film Com- mission, production manager Roger LaPage called Dr. Edward Foote of the Radio-Television-Film Department and discussed the movie and opportunities for students to work on the production. LaPage visited UNA and addressed stu- dents at a meeting of Alpha Epsilon Rho, the UNA Broadcasting Society. Filming began on November 5. Crouch was right-hand person to LaPage, revis- ing scripts and working on call sheets, which tell everyone when they will be working. Johnson worked in the art department, searching for items needed on a set and building the sets. Many changes occured along the way. Due to an overrun of production costs, shooting was restricted to the Birmingham location only (the original plan was to film additional footage in Montgomery). The finishing date of filming was moved back one week, from December 20 to Decem- ber 13. In addition, LaPage left the production. The movie company paid for Crouch and Johnson ' s transportation costs, meals and six hours of tuition. The film is a major production, starring Scott Glenn in the lead role.

The boys were given the oppor- tunity to enjoy sports such as baseball and basketball each afternoon from 2:30 to 5:00. Boys State 1986 brought more than 500 of Alabama ' s top high school students to campus. Boys State has helped to put the univer- sity in the forefront of a recognized effort to teach young men the values and responsibilities of responsible democratic government. This is the second time in three years that Boys State has come to campus and much of the credit for this goes to Dr. Daniel Leasure, dean of Student Affairs and former Boys State director in Tennessee. Boys State, which is sponsored by the American Legion and other civic organi- zations, brings together high school stu- dents in a week long session and receives an intense course on state government. From June 8-11 over 500 high school students created and ran a mock state government. They elected officials and wrote bills which were put through the legislative process to become laws. Included in the week ' s activities wen appearances by such leaders as U.S Senator Howell Heflin as well as Guber natorial candidates Charles Graddick am Bill Baxley. The Boys State participant also went to Montgomery to meet witl other state officials. UNA President Dr. Robert Guillot said It ' s always a delight for us to host a groui such as Boys State. These young men ar the cream of the crop from their respec tive schools. Being here gives them an opportunit to use what UNA has to offer them a yea from now when they enroll in college. W sincerely believe this exposure to UNA ca persuade them to give serious consider tion to what we have to offer a student, Guillot said. Dr. Leasure said the Boys Stat delegates usually are selected by their hig school teachers and sponsored by varioi civic clubs and businesses in the hometowns.

Handy Festival is a joyous tradition in the Shoals YOUNG AND OLD, black and white— a wide variety of people turns out for the colorful street strut which is o ne of the festival ' s most beloved traditions. The fifth annual W.C. Handy Festival (August 3-9) honored that great musician and Father of the Blues with good music and good times. W.C. Handy was born in Florence on November 16, 1873. He was the son and grandson of Methodist ministers. Handy ' s soul was so filled with music trying to get out that he ignored his father ' s warning that he would rather follow his son ' s hearse than see him a professional musician. At the age of 18 Handy ran away from home to Chicago and then to St.. Louis, where he worked at odd jobs, often play- ing his trumpet to earn a single meal. W.C. Handy wrote such famous Jazz hits as, St. Louis Blues, Beale Street Blues, and Yellow Dog Blues. Even though he was famous, Handy never forgot his hometown of Florence. He once wrote, Every night my soul, I think, occupied ... a good bed in Florence. Florence has not forgotten her native son, and his memory is honored in the W.C. Handy Festival. Jazz musicians come from all over the country to take part in the Festival. Some of the major participants in this year ' s festival were the Cleveland Eaton Trio Plus Voices, the Joe Noojin Band, the Chuck Rivers Band, the Thompson Trie and many others as well as local groups such as the Big Band. There were jazz con certs at the local malls and jam sessions ai many local clubs and hotels. The Handy Festival is not all musk either. There was a barbeque cookout, c 100 mile bike ride through local historic districts and along the Natchez Trace, anc there was a New Orleans Style Street Stru at Wilson Park, led by the Grand Oobe doo, Mrs. Helen Robinson. A lot of work goes into preparation foi the Handy Festival. The festival is coordi nated by The Music Preservation Society The chairman of the Board of the Music Preservation Society is Dr. Wayne Todc who is also a Presbyterian Minister anc teacher of Religious Philosophy at UNA The Society ' s president is Dr. Felice Greer who is a professor in the Educatior Department.

Helen Keller was born June 27, 1890, in Tuscumbia and at 19 months she suffered a severe illness which left her both blind and deaf. When Keller was six years old her par- ents sent her to see Alexander Graham Bell. As a result of his advice Annie Sul- livan came to live with the Kellers and to teach Helen. Thus began the story of one of the most remarkable women born in the Shoals. Keller was a gifted student and at the age of 20 she graduated with honors from Radcliffe College. She became a world traveller and lecturer; she received many honors and rewards from foreign govern- ments and international bodies for her work to help the blind and deaf. Junior Mark Kearly said, Her struggle to overcome her own handicaps and to help educate the blind and deaf should be an example for all of us who are struggling to get an education. The Festival is one of the important events in the Shoals area and we at UNA should support it. Every summer Miss Keller ' s remarkable achievements are honored at the annual Helen Keller Festival in Tuscumbia. During the four day celebration a variety of events take place. In past years university students have played many of the characters in the cast of The Miracle Worker and this year is no exception. Four people from UNA had roles in this summer ' s production. Alumni Terry Pace and Amy Flippo, playing Cap- tain Keller and Annie Sullivan, gave their 50th performances this year. Two newer cast members, student Johnathan Seay and admissions counselor Suzie Shoemaker, played the roles of James Keller and Aunt Ev. Shoemaker said, Many [cast member; of the past play productions are forme UNA students. Taking part in the play he always been something of an honor. Students and faculty participated many of the other events as well. In th Kiwanis-Helen Keller Run were Barry Fitt ' from the cross country team; Jack Seller: head of the Social Work Department; an Eddie Rivers, director of the Intramur Program . The greatest participation, thougt came from the many students wh attended the music, arts and crafts, an puppet shows. Even Leo, the university mascot, he a part in the festival. He rode in the opei ing parade, thus proving the universi plays a substantial role in the Helen Kell Festival. 8 y D W R D R K 90 3R if Fik I i, B| i Aj 4 J-uniors Ha-Ho CINDY HALL, Cullman SUSAN HAMM, Red Bay SARAH MAMMONS, Alamogordo, NM CHERYL HANNUM, Decatur SUZETTE HARAWAY, Rogersville MELINDA HARGETT, Florence WILL HARGIS.

Killen BRIAN LINDSEY, Tuscumbia BETTY LINKINS, Florence (0oing up Construction on campus meant ouilding some new elevators — and suddenly getting to class was infinitely easier Just think of dorm life if you had to :limb four flights of stairs (possibly even more) to get to bed each night. Moving nto the dorm with your huge stereo, your Dosterpedic mattress, and your imported ine bottle collection would mean trudg- ng up a billion stairs for days at a time. Fortunately, the dorms have elevators. Jntil recently, many buildings on campus acked such conveniences. Over the summer, the installation of elevators and i chair-lift was completed. Three major buildings (Keller, Floyd Science, and Bibb 3raves), which before had only stairs, are now accessable to those students who lave difficulty climbing stairs. The new elevator in Floyd Science suilding saves students the horrors of brav- ng the elements on the open-air stairwells, o longer will you have to run up four lights of stairs in sweltering heat, pouring rain, and blowing snow (with ice covering the steps). Instead, the elevator can take you from one covered walkway to another several floors up. Biology professor Dr. W.R. Mont- gomery said, Floyd Science is 25 years old and it is about time it got an elevator. The new elevator makes it possible for handicapped students to take some classes that they might otherwise have avoided. In Keller Hall, though the stairways are indoors, they are no less tiring. The new elevator in the business wing saves stu- dents from puffing and panting their way up three flights of stairs. Bibb Graves did not have sufficient space for an elevator. Instead, a chair-lift was installed on the main stairway of the administration building to make it easier for handicapped students get to class. Junior Tim Case said, I felt Bibb Graves needed something to help han- dicapped students and I am glad to see that the administration felt the same way. I only wish that it could have been an ele- vator so the rest of us could use it too. The completion of the construction projects has made getting to class easier for all of us, whether we have a problem with stairs or not. There was some incon- venience for a while during construction. Parts of each building were blocked off, and the construction workers made a lot of noise. Getting to class meant sometimes walking clear around the building site, and once in class, the workers ' noise was dis- tracting. In the final outcome, though, the incon- venience suffered during construction is made up for with the elevators. We ' ve fewer stairs to climb and more classrooms accessible to everyone.

Dedra Eastland has used her talent to become a success story. The 20-year-old junior is a resident of Florence. While at Bradshaw High School she began competing in pageants, winning talent competitions and placing as high as first runner-up. Once she began college, the winning continued. She has entered the last three Miss UNA pageants, placing, second, third and first runner-up, consecutively. Shortly after the last Miss UNA pageant, she com- peted in the Miss Alabama pageant, where she was third runner-up and winner of the preliminary talent competition. This summer Eastland toured with the Miss Alabama Revue, a group which tours with Miss Alabama. She performed a Diana Ross medley of I ' m Coming Out, Home, Ain ' t No Mountain High Enough and Reach Out and Touch (Somebody ' s Hand). Eastland recently won the Miss Shoals Music pageant, a preliminary contest to return to the next Miss Alabama pageant. As Miss Shoals Music she will receive scholarship opportunities and attend the Alabama Music Hall of Fame banquet, where she will help distribute awards. She hopes to meet some of the stars attending the banquet and possibly to perform. An accomplished singer, Eastland has appeared in three SOAR Cabarets, although she did not perform this year in order to tour with the Miss Alabama Revue. She sings at many local functions such as weddings and at the Pub- in-the-SUB. Keeping in shape is important to East- land, so she has recently taken up weight lifting as a way to tone her muscles. I ' m not wanting to be a body builder or any- thing like that, she said. Eastland said her success has helped her learn things about herself that she didn ' t know. She has learned what her capabili- ties are and how to best focus her ener- gies. She credits her family with giving her inspiration, along with an inner desire to succeed. While in college Eastland has learned to develop discipline. You ' ve got to take time out to know your capacities and what is expected of you, and work at it. A degree is not given to you. You must work at it, like everything else in life. Some advice Eastland would like to offer students is to get involved. One can learn a great deal by participating. It made me a different person. Among the groups she has been involved in are the Student Activities Board, Golden Girls and Lionettes. She has also been named in Who ' s Who Among College Universities and Colleges. Currently, Eastland is looking forward to returning to the Miss Alabama pageant. A political science major, her future plans include law school, and a corporate law degree. This would give her the back- ground to open a recording studio. B Y J Ft Y C X 94 •.v:- ' ::VV-:- ' . : Juniors Mc-Na LISA McKINNEY, Dennis.

The student, Vance Wesson, graduated am the university in 1969 and did his aduate work at the University of Mis- sippi. At present Wesson lives in Birmingham, here he has done most of his work. Wesson said he especially enjoyed his ;perience in Mississippi, because the partment was in an old building that was li of character. Wesson seems attracted to old build- gs, especially in his Florence project. He was commissioned by the city of Torence and the Kennedy-Douglass Arts enter to do the mural. While displaying an art show at mnedy-Douglass, Wesson was proached by Barbara Kimberland, the ■ector of the center, with the idea of jnting the mural. Wesson said he was painting it for a very reasonable price with the under- standing that if it were received well, more works might be commissioned. Wesson said he had been doing murals for six years. Usually they are not this big, Wesson said. I work most of the time with heights less than ten feet, like the 35 ' by 8 ' mural on wood I did for the Alabama Museum of Mining. It was much easier than this one. Wesson started out on the mural with a draftsman ' s sketch of the dimensions and then went to a pastel sketch of what the finished work would look like. The building itself presented the greatest problem for Wesson ' s mural. ...the brick is so old it soaks up the paint and in some spots the mortar is so old it has turned to sand, Wesson said. That has been the hardest part, that and the height. 3 Y WILLIAM B. C O F I E L D USING A SURPRISINGLY SMALL BRUSH, Vance Wesson Alls in some detail on the downtown Florence mural.

Even today some of the enthusiasm and deter- mination that got Stonehenge and the Mayan Observatories built is still around. Comet mania springs up every 76 years when Halley ' s Comet can be seen from Earth on its return trip beyond our solar fringe. In almost every week of March and April, some comet story made the newspaper and the Sky Track Radar people at one of the Huntsville television stations broke out the Santa Claus detec- tion gear to spot Halley ' s Comet on the nightly weather reports. Interest was so great that the university ' s Observatory put on over 120 planetarium shows for the public. (This is more than twice as many shows as normal.) People from the community as well as the campus came to the observatory at night in hopes of spotting Halley ' s Comet. Dr. David R. Curott, head of the unive sity observatory said, Halley ' s Com caused a lot of excitement. We even hs a kind of telescope party with people fro all over the area coming together and st ting up telescopes to try and get a look the comet. I set up my telescope outside of tow to avoid the light clutter from the city at I managed to get a few photographs Halley ' s Comet. I believe that To Whalen and a number of other studer drove up to Colbert Mountain to get good view of the comfit, Dr. Curott sai Halley ' s Comet made a return trip November, but because of altitude on tl horizon it was very difficult to spot. If you missed the comet ' s appearand this year (or just want another look), tal heart. Dr. Curott does have a few wor of encouragement: It will be back 2061.

Dr. Johnson is head of the Department f History and professor of history. He and our other history professors spoke at the neetings which were funded by the Mabama Humanities Foundation. The mrpose of the meetings was to celebrate he 200th birthday of the U.S. Con- titution . Dr. Thomas Osborne, associate irofessor of history, said the title of his lec- ure was The Constitution and Higher aw. He said his talk would explain the noral, religious, and philosophical roots f the U.S. Constitution. Osborne explained that our Constitu- ion is a standard by which all other laws ire measured. We take for granted the ight of federal courts to declare laws inconstitutional, and the Constitution is a aw higher than ordinary laws. He said the issue is how did the Con- titution become higher law and why? Osborne said the ancient Greeks x lieved that men do not make laws, they liscover them in nature, and this idea is :alled natural law. Osborne quoted the preamble of the J.S. Constitution and he said our Consti- ution has its roots in Roman and natural law. The ideas expressed in our Constitu- tion were not strange to the founding fathers, he added. The U.S. Constitution became the stan- dard of higher law by which all other laws are subject because of this precedent, Osborne said. Lawrence Nelson, associate professor of history, said, the true test of the U.S. Constitution is the orderly transfer of power from one group to another. Nelson explained the differences between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. He said Hamilton was Feder- alist and aristocratic, but Jefferson talked about the rights of man and liberty. This was not the language of the Federalist. Nelson said that in 1800, the young Republic experienced the dirtiest campaign in U.S. history. Thomas Jefferson was accused of adultery with a slave woman; of atheism when he was actually a Deist; and of being ungodly. Clergymen preached against the Jefferson presiden- tial candidacy. They actually believed Jefferson would dispatch the goon squads to collect the Bibles if he was elected President, Nelson said. He said Jefferson defeated Adams in the controversial presidential election of 1801, which was decided in the House of Representatives. b y Ft I D H Chief Justice Marshall was a Federalist who hated the Republicans even more than Adams did, Nelson said. Nelson explained how Jefferson ' s power was with the pen and mind, but he was not eloquent in speech. However, his inauguration speech was one of the best in American political history. Nelson said, Jefferson ' s speech was like a soothing balm of reconciliation to the Federalists. Even Chief Justice Marshall was impressed with the new President, he added. Nelson said, the framers of the Con- stitution believed political parties would threaten democracy, but the Constitution passed its most severe test at that time. Associate Professor of History Dr. Peter Barty said England does not have a writ- ten constitution, but she does have a con- stitution when he explained the British legal system and its relationship to the U.S. Constitution . Americans borrowed freely from their British experience, Barty said. He said the American founding fathers learned how to prevent tyranny. He used the system of checks and balances between the branches of government as an example. Dr. Charles Gaisser, associate profes- sor of history, explained the Soviet Con- stitution and legal system before an overflow crowd at the last of the five meetings. f R R r L L Underclassmen 101 Sophomores Bo-Ch AUL RA BONTRAGER, Hanceville KAREN BOSTON, Trinity TODD BOWEN, Corinth, MS ANITA BRAZIL, Florence ERRIC BREWER, Florence CHARLIE BRIEGEL, Florence EMILY BROADFOOT, Florence KAYE BROTHERSTON, Florence ERIC BROWN, Lexington GREG BROWN, Killer, JACKIE BROWN, Lawrenceburg, TN MARY BETH BROWN, Hamilton MITCHELL BULLOCK, LEE BETH BURSON, Birmingham REGINA BYRD, Tuscumbia PATRICK CAMPBELL, Lexington ANGIE CANNON, Decatur DEBBIE CANTRELL, Florence NEAL CANTRELL, Florence RICHARD CARSON, Florence VALERIE CATER, Decatur DEANNA CATHEY, Decatur JEFF CAVENDER, Haleyville PAULA CHANCELOR.

Safeplace is a non-profit emergency shelter for the abused in Lauderdale, Col- bert, Franklin, Lawrence, Marion, and Winston Counties. Most of their help comes from volun- teers, six of which are students from the university. These students help in various ways, including babysitting, transporting residents to look for jobs, and working on the Crisis Line. Various clubs on campus also volunteer their services. ROTC and the fraternities help with yardwork, maintenance, and moving furniture. Circle K publicizes events campus-wide, and often holds fund- raisers. Alpha Tau Omega pledges do yardwork and help with fundraisers. Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity donated $100. 1 he Student Government Associatior proclaimed October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and during this time signed a proclamation supporting the efforts by Safeplace to help family violence victims. But the university ' s connection with Safeplace is not one way. Anyone ha vim problems can call the Crisis Line 24 hour; a day and talk confidentially. Safeplact offers callers shelter service, and or non residential counselling if the problem abuse related. If not, they can give th caller information about other community services. Safeplace also offers educational pro grams to classes, the dorms, the SGA, anc other student organizations. Some topic; that are covered are dating violence, chile abuse, spouse abuse, counselling abu victims, and prevention of violence.

However, it can be a very rewarding experience, as in the case of Andy August. Through his dedication to the martial art of Tang Soo Do, he has achieved a number of valuable assets. August, a junior majoring in psychol- ogy, began his training in the martial arts at 14. He said he began training to learn how to protect himself, and to learn dis- cipline and confidence. As a result of his hard work and train- ing, August has attained the ranking of first degree black belt, which he has had for over three years. He began instructing in Tang Soo Do three years ago at the local YMCA and opened up his own school in the spring with the help of Greg Engle, a fellow university student. Engle, a third degree black belt, is chief instructor and August is class instructor. Of Engle, August said, He is of senior ranking and is really good. A traditional martial artist, August has entered competition in the past, placing first in Forms and Fighting Division in several contests and placing second and third in others. For the past few years he has not competed, but lately he has re- entered competition, travelling to the Spectrum in Philadelphia, Penn., to com- pete in a world Tang Soo Do tournament. I don ' t really like tournaments because of the fact that I ' m a traditional martial artist. I ' m not a sportsman. Most tourna- ments are sport tournaments, therefore the judging is different. I might go out and do a traditional form and someone with something flashy the doesn ' t mean a thing, lacks power an looks like a dance might come out and wi in forms competition just because he ' s nc doing a traditional form. So tradition is nc really respected in American tournament: However, in fighting it ' s a differei story, August said. Confidence, respect and discipline ar among the things August said he he gotten out of his years of training. Th martial arts are beneficial in that it help a person be more humble, it helps person to be a gentleman, and it helps person to defend himself. It ' s a way of life, August said. He added that positive thinking another benefit of the martial arts.

Sculpting a scholarship fund An exhibition by artist Frank Fleming helps raise money for the art department Frank Fleming, an internationally known sculptor and 1962 graduate of UNA, helped to raise over $6,800 for an Art Department Scholarship fund. The Frank Fleming Art Exhibit opened with a private showing on April 5, followed by a month long public showing. Dr. Elizabeth Walter, head of the Art Department said, Frank Fleming ' s exhibit was a success because it appealed to everyone from five to 80 years of age. It was something that brought people in and then brought them back to see more. The exhibit was entitled, A Decade of Works, and represented Fleming ' s works of the past ten years. Fleming prefers to work in bisque por- celain. He creates stark-white mytholog- ical images which stir the imagination in their natural and animal form, Dr. Walter said. Fleming, who was raised on a farm once said, My basic understanding of nature gives me a large and never ending sketch pad from which to work. Dr. Walter and the Patrons of the University Art Gallery, a group of con- cerned citizens who support the art gallery and help bring in new works, developed the exhibit to raise scholarship money for art majors. The art program continues to grow. Dr. Walter said, UNA has a large art depart- ment and we serve at least 600 students per semester. But we are always short or funds. With the Fleming exhibit and future exhibits we eventually hope to have z $10,000 scholarship fund.

Holcomb explained that the new system s an NEC NEAXZ 2400 digital switch jperation and is basically a computerized iwitchboard that automatically connects ncoming calls to the extension dialed. The three-number university exchange vas also changed from 766 to 760. To dial directly to an office on campus, dial 760- IXXX, with the last three numbers being he original extension number. New phones were also installed in all lormitories during the summer and exten- sions were assigned for direct dialing to individual rooms. A university and student directory, published in September, lists all dorm room extensions. Holcomb said that though its cost- effectiveness remains to be seen, the new system was installed as a necessity, not as a monev-saving project. V « .iad simply outgrown the old system, he said. We couldn ' t add any more office extensions or anything. Now we have unlimited growth poten- tial, such as a new dorm, he added. Holcomb said every building on campus was wired for the new system, even those not presently being used. If an unused building were to be reopened, such as Lafayette Hall, it would be ready, he said. The system was installed by Telecom- Plus of Mobile and G G Services of Houston, Texas, and was completed three weeks ahead of schedule.

Officials of the program have established a talent bank, consisting of students to re- enact local crimes. The program, which was begun inter- nationally in 1972, was created in order to give crime investigators additional infor- mation about a case so it could be solved more rapidly. Since then, over 400 such programs have formed across the globe with a 98 percent conviction rate. The program has proven itself over the past 10 years, said Bob Simmons Jr. , chairman of the Shoals Crimestoppers Board of Directors. It ' s very successful here in the Muscle Shoals area. The support is what made it successful, Simmons said. The Shoals Crimestoppers has main- tained a 100 percent prosecution rate since it was enacted a few years ago. Callers with information about a crime are issued a reward number and asked to call back within five working days. During that period of time, the reported informa- tion is verified and if found accurate, the informer is told to contact them in 10 days. Upon a grand jury indictment, the Crimestoppers Board of Directors deter- mines a reward for the information rang- ing from $25 to $1000, based upon the severity of the felony crime. Arrangements are made to pay the reward to the informer in cash. Of the 500 or so people who have called in with infor- mation about a crime, 70 percent did not want a reward for their assistance. The re-enactments are staged at the actual crime scene to make it as realistic as possible. Actors portray the criminals and victims involved in the case. If it ' s an open description we find anyone who is willing to do it, said Tom McCarthy, the director of Shoals Crimestoppers. But if we have a description of the assailant, we find someone who fits the description. According to Channel 31 ' s Al Whitaker, realism is very important. The whole idea is to jog the memory of someone who saw the crime, said Whitaker. BY ANDERSON WILLIAMS 110 Sophomores Ri-st MICHAEL JAMES RIANT, Florence SANDY RICHARDSON, Florence SHERR1 RICHARDSON.

We appreciate the McDonalds remem- ;ring us at UNA and allowing us to use ese portraits to commemorate the iilders of the beautiful facility which we we restored and are now using as a liai- n point between the university and the .mmunity, Dr. Guillot said. Courtview-Rogers Hall houses the Shoals Industrial Development Authority and several university offices which work directly with the general public. Dr. Guillot also thanked Col. William McDonald, a local historian, who helped arrange the gift from his cousin. The original paintings of the Fosters were done by a Nashville, Tenn., artist. Foster ' s daughter Sallie kept a diary, which was adapted recently by communi- c ations students for an award-winning video production. Foster, a Lawrence county native, mar- ried a daughter of the wealthy Watkins family of Town Creek. A sister married Col. James Saunders, who built the famous (haunted) Rocky Hill castle in Courtland. A competitive spirit developed within the family as to who could build the lar- gest house, Col. McDonald said. Foster, who owned a large plantation in the Smithsonia Woodland area of west Lauderdale County, wanted to build a mansion on the highest point in Florence. That happened to be in the middle of the city ' s main thoroughfare, Court Street, which presented somewhat of a problem. Undaunted, Foster got the Alabama legislature to pass a bill giving him special permission to build the house on that spot. Thus the city ' s main street, which begins at the Tennessee River, ended at his front door. Sallie Independence Foster sold Cour t- view to Gov. Emmett O ' Neal, who in turn sold it to the Rogers family. The univer- sity purchased it in 1948. Attending the presentation with Dr. Guillot and Col. McDonald were Allan McDonald, his wife Annette, daughters Jennifer and Kathryn and sons John and Allan Jeffery. the Mcdonald FAMILY (Allan, Annette, Jennifer, Kathyryn, John and Allan Jeffrey) pose with Dr. Robert Guillot and the portraits of George Washing- ton Foster and Sarah Watkins Foster in Rogers Hall. 3 Y B I J R N I G N Underclassmen 1 ID Sophomores Wo-Zi VICKI WOMBLE, Florence MOLLY WOODFORD, Sheffield MARTIN WORSHAM, Huntsville VALERIE WRAY, Wisconsin Rapids, Wl AMANDA WRIGHT, Killen DEXTER WRIGHT, Florence THE RAT RACE gives Tim Rhodes an opportunity to put down some money— and perhaps win one more prize for his date.

Lights brighten the area ind the smell of popcorn fills the air. -aughter and loud music can be heard all iround the area of the fair, and the whole vent brings out the kid in all of us. Even though it rained this year and the jround was muddy, many people were here to ride the rides, to see the exhibi- ions, or just to see who else was there. lmost everyone was walking around nacking on one or more of the foods that he concession stands had to offer. Foods? There were enough choices to ilease even the pickiest connoisseur of fair uisine— sausages and hamburgers, pop- orn and cotton candy, candied apples md funnel cakes. Pi Kappa Alpha frater- lity sponsored a concession stand offer- ig a large coke for a dollar— and they hrew in a free bag of popcorn. Many of the booths at the fair were for the games of chance— the Basketball Toss, the Rat Race, the Dart Throw, and Skee- ball. A palmist was on hand to read for- tunes, and Alpha Tau Omega sponsored a dunking booth which entertained the crowd milling around seeing who would be the next to get soaked. Many of the exhibitions didn ' t require tickets— local merchants had displays of furniture, guitars, vacuum cleaners. But the exhibits that required a ticket were worth the money — where else could you see a five foot long Russian Rat for only a dollar? But the real reason for the fair is still the rides, which ranged from a small roller coaster to the double ferris wheel. There were a few long lines to be contended with, but the wait was well worth it judg- ing from the smiles as the riders exited. How soon until the next fair?

The fall drive netted 151 pints of blood according to the Lauderdale County Chapter of the American Red Cross. The blood drive was held in the Student Union Building on October 8 and 9. On October 8, 76 pints were given. Only four potential donors were refused. Of the 76 donors accepted, 16 had never given blood before. On October 9, there were 75 produc- tive donors.

Students say there are advantages to both living arrangements Dorm life could be a way of getting involved in school activities, meeting new friends, and a sense of security for fresh- men, but there are also some disadvan- tages compared with apartment living. Mabeth Richardson, resident assistant for the sixth floor of Rice Hall, said resi- dence hall living is a good way to be more active in school activities and to meet new friends. Richardson explained that dorm life can help freshmen with living away from home the first time, because they don ' t have total independence, but enough independence so that they can get used to living away from home. But many students prefer apartment living. Sharon Burleson, a former dorm resident, now living in an apartment, said she prefers apartment living because she has a home to come to, instead of a small room. Burleson also said she can study better in her apartment with less interruptions. Some of the former bugs of dormitory life have been eliminated this year. Richardson and Burleson both agreed that the new phone system is a great asset to dorm life, and is an improvement over the old paging system. Richardson added that the dorm living offers the option of quiet, non-smoking, and freshmen floors, where people can choose the kind of atmosphere they want. Richardson and Burleson both agree that the dorm is more secure, with restric- tions on who can enter the dorm at cer- tain hours.

A series of one-acts, held in conjunc- tion with Spring Fling, were entitled Behind the Red Curtain, and consisted of three plays: Pvt. Wars, Patio, and Torn Chords. The scene is a military hospital psy- chiatric ward as Pvt. Wars begins. The main story in this James McLure play revolves around one particular inmate and his insensitivity toward the other inmates he interacts with. Jayne Anne Miller directed the tragic comedy which starred Grant Lovett, B.D. Caine and Todd Goode. Patio is a humorous play set on the patio of an old maid ' s home. Her married sister is visiting her and they plan a party. As they begin to decorate, the different ideas each has about proper placement of the decorations leads the sisters to reminisce of their past conflicts.

Associate professor of industrial hygiene Dr. Thomas Pierce and seniors Karen Rowden Bourque and Angela Marie Zwissler were unable to deliver personally the paper, Skin Permeation Modelling for B.E.I. Definition. However, it was read for them in the Epidemiology and Bio- logical Monitoring session of the October 9 conference sponsored by the Associazi- one Italiana degli Igienisti Industriali. It was one of the five American papers presented there. There were 110 papers presented altogether. Dr. Pierce, director of the university ' s Occupational and Environmental Health Laboratory, was asked to present the paper in Rome by an Italian colleague who heard it when Pierce read it in May at the American Industrial Hygiene Conference in Dallas, Texas. The paper is an update of work I began in 1983 for the U.S. Environmental Pro- tection Agency. There was additional work in 1984 under a different program, Dr. Pierce said. Some of the data he presented in a 1984 conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has had more than 200 reprint requests for the paper. It has become a major guidance document in several sta- tees in dermal modeling, which is the rate of determining the penetration of chemi- cals into the skin without doing experi- ments on animals to determine this. With Pierce ' s method, the penetration rate is calculated by computer. For the first time, we can use commonly-available data to predict the rate at which organic chemicals, such as aniline, phenol and parathion, penetrat the human skin, he said. Common substances used in industry aniline is used in dyes, phenol in disinfec tants and parathion in insecticides. This is not the end of the paper trail. Di Pierce will be preparing this paper and th other two as a chapter in a book. The impact of this is that they ar woking on important projects of interest i this and foreign countries. An opportunit like this provides the dialogue for our sti dents to obtain fellowships here an abroad, Dr. Pierce said. Zwissler, from Seminole, Fla., we pleased. I didn ' t know my gathering an processing of data would lead to this, sai the senior, who is eyeing graduate schoi for a career in industrial hygiene.

Brent Hines, a senior from Greenhill najoring in computer science, is the inven- ar of the program. Originally from Nash- ille, Hines has always had a fascination M computers. When he first started ising computers, he was afraid to touch nem because he might tear them up. As a beginner in BASIC, he said he had 10 idea what to do. He has since mastered : ortran, Pascal and Assembly Language, lis favorite is Pascal, because it is logically structured, he said. The program he has developed is called Sign Alpha, an alphabet tutor for the deaf. Featuring a practice and alphabet mode, five difficulty levels and the ability to enter up to 10 words at a time, Sign Alpha is very simple to use. One simply types a word into the computer and the word is spelled back on the screen in sign lan- guage. He had previously mastered graphics commands on the Commodore 64, so he already had a direction to go in. The idea came to Hines as a result of a sign language class he attended with Kathy Dowdy, who is an interpreter. People in the class felt they did not get enough practice in sign language. During the same semester he was required to do a computer math course presentation which had to deal with either computers or math. He started working with the idea and shortly began writing flow charts for the program. The program has generated much interest with children and with people in general. Hines said the paper Deaf Dis- ciple is willing to publish the program.

They were invited to the campus of effield City Polytechnic in Sheffield, gland, to present a marketing study )ut farmer ' s markets in the Tennessee ley. ' We had a wonderful time, said Craw- d. It was fun and educational. Crawford and Stewart delivered their 2-hour presentation to an audience de up of both professors and industry ders. They were interested in how Tier ' s markets in the U.S. are set up. ' They saw our farmer ' s market study in )urnal and suggested we submit it to be ■ged. It was one of 40 that were selected presentation, Crawford said. Crawford said they were asked many astions about the system used here. ' In England, produce is sold in a wide Ition in the center of town. The people just park their cars in the middle of the street and get what they want. But it is usually crowded and very unorganized, he said. Crawford said that the people go to the market every day, because they do not use as much refrigeration. Part of the reason is the high cost of electricity there. If they have refrigerators, they are small ones, like those you see in offices or dorm rooms, he said. They go every day and get just what they will need for that one day. In England, Crawford said, 18 percent of fresh fruits and vegetables are sold directly from the farmer to the consumer; in the U.S. only two percent is sold this way. They were very interested in our system and how organized our farmer ' s markets are, and how they could use our system of having a designated and organized place to sell goods, he said. Crawford has lived and taught in Y J N N I R England in the past, and says he felt right at home with the country and its people. They made us feel so welcome, he said. The English are a very mild- mannered and gentle people. They are the nicest people you could meet. He also took the time to notice differ- ences in students and educational pro- grams between England and the U.S. Americans are much more aggressive and business-minded. The English are more relaxed and easy-going. Also, in their schooling, the majors are more specialized. For example, they have a major in agricultural marketing. They almost train for a specific job. He also noted that their degrees only take three years, but are not as broad. There is less formal classroom instruc- tion and an emphasis on internships and fieldwork, Crawford said. Crawford says the conference was a success.

Well, maybe not, but the courtyard of - loyd Hall (science building) was the loca- ion of three fairy rings in the fall. According to Dr. Steve Timme, assis- ant professor of biology, three fairy rings vere discovered on the courtyard of Floyd, rimme said, Fairy rings are rings iroduced by a combination of a fungi and i bacteria. A fungi grows from the center of the ing and sprouts out in a circle, said Timme. He continued, When conditions re just right, fungi appear above the jround. Mushrooms appear in a circular formation. This is what ' s known as a fairy ring. Timme said, Due to an increase in nitrogen, the grass inside the circle is greener than the surrounding grass. He also said that the grass inside the fairy ring is stunted. According to Timme, fairy rings are mostly found, or noticed, in yards where the grass is cut regularly. He said, Fairy rings aren ' t seen very often, only when conditions are right. The fungi that appeared in Floyd Hall ' s courtyard were puffballs and gill fungi, according to Timme. Timme said that there is some history connected to fairy rings. He said, In the early days, no one knew much about fungi. Fairy rings were a mystery. Some people believed that fairies had gone out and placed mushrooms in a circle. He also said, In some areas of the country, people believed it was bad luck to step inside the circle, and, in other areas, people believed it was good luck. Timme and Dr. Robert Daly, associate professor of biology, are in the process of developing an extensive fungi collection. Timme said this collection would be used for teaching and research.

Dr. Joseph Thomas, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, said the NCGE presented a distinguished teaching achievement award for 1986 to Dr. Wil- liam R. Strong during an awards banquet in Chicago, III., on October 11. In informing Dr. Thomas of the award, James W. Vining, executive director of NCGE, congratulated the university for having a geographic educator of such caliber on faculty. Dr. Thomas noted Dr. Strong has made great strides on and off campus during his tenure at the university. Since Strong became department head in 1983, the department has increased the geography major enrollment, added new dimensions to the academic program and upgraded the department training equipment. Even though we continue to teach traditional geography, Dr. Strong has changed the emphasis to newer, more exciting aspects of geography, such as in the field of remote sensing, Dr. Thomas said. Through gifts, loans and at-cost pur- chases, Strong has obtained loads of equipment for the university ' s program. He works closely with the U.S. Geo- logical Survey National Mapping Division and the National Geographic Society. Through his efforts, Alabama will be or of the few states hosting one of the latter workshops. He has obtained gran through projects with the Northwe Alabama Council of Local Govemmer and the Tennessee Valley Authority, D Thomas said.

Duncan is a junior from Florence. HAVING IDs made in the Student Union Building is convenient, but then it ' s kind of embarrassing to get your picture made in the middle of the busy SUB. Senior Henry Tyree grins good naturedly through it all. % A hen you first came to the W university did you feel like Dorothy in the Land of Oz? While registering for the semester were you full of doubts and questions about what to take and what to do? Were you desper- ately seeking some lifelifte of safety to get you through the chaos of registration? At least Dorothy had a yellow brick road to follow. All we had was a yellow ribbon running through the library and about a hundred people expecting you to know what to do. Now the yellow ribbon, as well as trial schedules and long waits in equally long lines, are gone. The great experiment of preregistration has begun on campus. Sue Wilson, registrar, said, Our new preregistration pro- gram is much better and easier than the old system of registra- tion. Preregistration does have some bugs in it but with each semester it gets better. Is preregistration the panacea that we have been looking for? Could it be the end of all the has- sels, heat, and heartbreak of registration? Freshman Tonya Parker said, With this new system all I have to do to register is go see my adviser to help work out a sched- ule and then turn the schedule in. It ' s easier and quicker than having to spend all day waiting for my name to be called and since I don ' t have to walk all over the library there is a lot less leg work. Preregistration is a good thing, but it does have a few problems that will be worked out in the long run. Milford L. Keenum, a special student in the Education Depart- ment, said, Over all I really like the new preregistration system. The main problem I have with it now is the fact that I don ' t always know in the fall what I want to take in the spring. One answer to this problem is not to pay the registration fee on time and to go through late regis- tration or go through drop-and- add. Another solution is to spend time working with the adviser to work out a schedule. After all, even Dorothy went to the Wizard for advice. STUDENT SECURITY OFFICER jjj Tim Gaither and Security Officer § David Maddox assign Chuck j Kennedy, a sophomore from Florence, £ his parking decal. S WEARY FACULTY and staff from th School of Business come to the en of a long day during late registrant and drop add. Linda Sims, Jo Copeland, Dean Lawrence Conwil Max Carrington and Cheryl Williarr had a brief respite before the ne: batch of students came through. 142 THE END OF ONE LINE is some- times the beginning of another. Although preregistration eliminates most of the hassle of long lines, you still have to have your ID validated. And, if you choose the busiest part of the day to run by the SUB, then it fol- lows that . . . you ' re caught in another line. Shirley Bailey from the Regis- trar ' s Office helps Brian Crosswhite, I.nri Jones, and Stacey Martin. UNDER ADVISEMENT By Bert Parker What classes should I take this semester? Do I need that extra business course or that math class? Choosing classes can be hard and if the wrong decision is made it can postpone graduation by one or even two semesters. Dr. William Foster, head of the English Department, said, Every semester I see students who thought that they were going to graduate fail to do so because they did not take a required class back in their fresh- man year. Students just are not familiar with the Bulletin and the graduation requirements. The university now has an advisement program to help the stu- dents make the most out of each semester. The advisers help stu- dents work toward graduation. Though the advisement program has only been in effect for a few semesters, we can see its effects. Students are no longer floundering in trial schedules but, with advise- ment, are choosing classes most beneficial to their majors. Sophomore John Davis said, I think that the advisers really care about the students, and as the pro- gram gets settled in a bit more it will help those students who need help. ROBERT LAWLER PITCHING IN to help during drop add, Lisa Brister of the Student Development Center helps Abby Adamson with her schedule. NORTON AUDITORIUM isn ' t usually the site of this much confusion— but late registration was held in the theater, and Standing Room Only was definitely the order of the day.

TOP TEN REALIZATIONS OF THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS 1. Staff is not your professor ' s name but is a clever pseudonym for the hardest teacher on campus. 2. You need more than 15 minutes to find a parking place. 3. The $210 worth of textbooks you just bought are not required by the professor. 4. Your carefully planned schedule only allows 10 minutes for lunch. 5. Your new professor is the guy you nearly ran down trying to get to class. 6. You ' re the only guy in the aerobics class (or the only girl in the weightlifting class). 7. Your 10:00 swimming class in Flowers and your 11:00 geography class in Wesleyan is proof that there are indeed 92 acres of campus. 8. The class you are sitting in has a prerequisite you didn ' t take. 9. The $35 lab fee doesn ' t cover all the materials you ' ll need for the class. 10. Your Tuesday night class will interfere with watching Moon- lighting JOHN F. LENZ BOB PATEL finds a quiet area on the concrete benches of the SUB court- yard to refer to his class schedule and to check the syllabus of his next class.

Manson Remember that nice little schedule you so anxiously filled out during registration and how you really looked forward to the first day of classes? . . . . . . and remember how happy you were after the four- hour wait when you actually got signed up for some of those nice little classes? . . . . . . and remember how you couldn ' t get to sleep the night before, as you were so excited about the opening day of classes? ... and REMEMBER the huge disappointment you felt after the first three minutes in that first class on the first day of school? It has been said that good things come to those who wait. But to the multitudes who have toiled through long pre- registration late registration lines— only to face subsequently longer drop add lines— it would appear as if good classes did not fit into that tired old cliche. More than one unthinking stu- dent has shrugged off comments from friends along the lines of Don ' t sign up for that class! You ' ll be sorry! As luck would have it, those friends are usually right. Even some instructors are thoughtful enough to help out potential students by giving warning such as: I ' ll give it to you straight. This is a BORING class! This is a LECTURE class! You will not enjoy this class! In fact, you will HATE this class! You will prob- ably SLEEP in this class! You will fail this course. So get out now while you can! A nice gesture, sure, but not very convenient after you have already suffered through regis- tration. Each year, before classes actually begin, you are quite likely to hear the same old com- ments from yourself or your fellow students. Ohhhhhhh! This is gonna be a great year! Bet! I ' ll make all A ' s this semester! I ' m gonna LOVE my classes this year! Everything is so FAB-ulous! Within a few hours, the gam- blin ' man is convinced that this will unquestionably begin the worst year of his life. That self- proclaimed honor student is suddenly polishing the prof ' s car or attempting to zero in on a good tutor. Surely there must be manner in which to cope with that heart- breaking first day of classes, the worried student thinks. He looks relentlessly for answers, but comes away empty-handed and empty-minded. I suppose I ' ll just have to keep on worrying, the student says to no one in particular. Then again worrying, accord- ing to many students, is one of the most popular ways to cope with that first day of classes— heck, it beats crying. GETTING THE SEMESTER off to a good start, returning faculty and staff are invited to meet their new col- leagues at a reception brunch hosted by the Guillots. Dr. David Curott and Dr. Clark Mueller stand to converse while others opt for the comfortable lawn furniture in the garden of the president ' s home.

First Day o Class 145 MIKE K1TTRELL AFTER 6 p.m., activity slows down somewhat on campus— except for night classes, that is, such as Assis- tant Professor Janice Spence ' s Prin- ciples of Economics. The majority of students who attend night classes are enrolled in the School of Business. THEN-DEAN OF FACULTY AND INSTRUCTION Eugene Jabker took a lot of heat from disgruntled students in the spring semester over the possi- bility of several management classes being dropped. Such visible demon- strations as this automobile were a fairly rare occurence, however. BRETT DAVIS 146 JOHN W. HOWARD MANAGEMENT DILEMMA Classes were cut but it wasn ' t as bad as students feared By Edward Parker ill have faith in the present I administration, said Dr. William Stewart who heads the Department of Marketing and Management. They have always done what is right, and in the future they will continue to make decisions that are in the best interest of the university. Dr. Stewart was talking about the decision to reduce the number of faculty members in the management department. He said, The management department had two positions opening this year and since UNA received a 5 percent proration cut in government funding, the administration originally decided not to refill the two vacancies. The School of Business serv- ices over 1,200 majors and double majors including 350 management majors. By includ- ing all of the students who are minoring in business or just taking business courses the School of Business affects over 50 percent of the student body. A reduction in two faculty TEMPORARY ASSISTANT PROFESSOR of Management Julie Pharr grades papers at her desk in Keller Hall. Pharr was hired in the fall to fill one of the two positions open in the Department of Management. positions in the management department would have meant that many classes scheduled for the fall semester would have been dropped and some stu- dents would have had to post- pone graduation. Dr. Stewart said, When we got our fall schedule we were notified that one of the empty faculty slots would be filled. With only one cut I can still run a viable department. The major reduction in classes being offered will come from the Night School program. Dr. Stewart said, All of the manage- ment classes will be tight with some classes having 40 or more students. But with careful plan- ning a student can still get a degree through our Night School program. The head of the department also dispelled some of the rumors about cuts. Dr. Stewart said, I have talked to over 100 students and as far as I know no students have failed to graduate because of class cuts. Management Reorganization 147 CHECKING SUPPLIES is a part of the student nurses ' routine. Emily Sul- livan and Heather Trousdale work at Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital. HANDLE WITH CARE The School of Nursing offers a career for students interested in helping others By Jeffrey David Co It ' s the largest health care group in the United States, the pro- gram has a 100 percent place- ment rate, and the choice of work location is up to you. The program is nursing. To enter it requires being a second semester sophomore and having a 1.1 grade point average. The only degree the school offers is a Bachelor ' s Degree in Nursing, which is the professional nursing degree . After completion of the program, students may take the licensing exam to become a Registered Nurse. In addition to classes such as biology and statistics, the student must also do lab work. Usually this is done at a hospital (such as Eliza Coffee Memorial or Helen Keller Memorial) , on campus, or at the Public Health Department. The work is basically what a Registered Nurse would do. Stu- dents also have to perform assignments such as diagnosing what ails a patient and knowing how to treat the ailment. Upon graduation, a choice of work location is up to the stu- dent, since the school has a 100 percent placement rate. Some graduates have gone as far away as Hawaii and Texas, but most stay in this general area (Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee). While in school, students can join the Student Nurses Associ- ation, which is a student group of the American Nurses Associ- ation. Once they graduate, stu- dents may join the latter. Although formerly considered a field for women, nursing is starting to include an increasing number of men. The whole nursing profession has 10 per- cent males, and that rate is the same here. But the ratio of males to females does vary from class to class; for example, this year there are six males in a class of 24 seniors. The school has maintained a constant growth rate, mainly because of the university ' s accrediting agency. The agency requires a certain percentage of students per faculty. The ideal number is approximately 130 students, a number the univer- sity maintains. Nursing is not an easy major according to students in the pro- gram. The courses are very time consuming and it takes a lot of dedication, Johnny Woo- dard said. Other students said the courses have detailed material with a small amount of time to learn it and the classes require hours of studying. Why would someone choose nursing as a career? Kereshmeh Anvar decided to go into nurs- ing to help others. Serving others makes me happy. Think- ing that I make someone else happy gives me satisfaction, Anvar said. Brenda Foster, another nursing student, had worked in a hospital for five years and had always wanted to go into the field. The long range goal of the department according to Frenesi Wilson, dean of the School of Nursing, is to start a Master ' s Degree program. The attraction of prospective students from the state as well as Mississippi and Tennessee makes this a good possibility. IN THE NURSERY at ECM Rhonda Cavender gets some hands-on experience. TRYING THEIR HANDS at child care at ECM are Diane Foster, Lynn Hol- loway and Jeff Harmon.

They receive careful instruction and supervision both in the classroom and at the hospital. Patricia Kyzar, assistant professor of nursing, helps student nurse Heather Trousdale.

The piano in the right fore- ground also suggests an opportunity to practice scales or conduct a musicale. The common room was on one of the upper floors. (All photos courtesy UNA Archives) SNOW was a rare enough occasion even 50 years ago to warrant a photo session. The center building is the former president ' s home, shown in the era when Dr. Henry J. Willingham (term, 1913-1937) was the campus leader. If that hilly lawn looks vaguely familiar, there ' s a good reason— the home was on the site of the present Student Union Building. USUALLY CALLED the Castle, Wesleyan was the primary building on campus from 1855 until the 1920s. The trolley car, barely visible in the left foreground, passed by campus and provided students with cheap, con- venient transportation. THE TROLLEY wasn ' t the only mode of transportation— these students used a horse and buggy to get to campus. 150 HISTORY LESSON From somewhat humble beginnings more than 150 years ago, the university has become a major educational institution By Darryl Oliver Change is nothing new on campus. It is just as appar- ent here as it is in any other progressive organization. The process of change can be haphazard and bothersome, but the end result is nearly always worth the trouble. The university that we know today began as a few brick struc- tures located on a hilltop in Col- bert County. This modest cluster of buildings not far from Leighton was called LaGrange College. Opening on January 11, 1830, it was Alabama ' s first institute of higher learning. Among the 19th century nota- bles who attended the new Methodist school were Dr. John A. Wyeth and General Edward A. O ' Neal. In 1855, most of the faculty and students of LaGrange found better accommodations in Flor- ence and deserted their school in favor of a stately new building with towers and ramparts. The state of Alabama denied the new school the right to use the name LaGrange College, so on Febru- ary 14, 1855, Wesleyan Univer- sity was incorporated. Wesleyan Hall still stands and continues to be a useful and integral part of the campus. To see the very roots of UNA all one has to do is visit the hall and its annex (which was added in 1901). The enrollment at Wesleyan University numbered 160 in 1856. By 1861, the number had grown to 225 students from five states and two foreign countries. The rising tensions between the North and the South during the early 1800s reached the breaking point, and the War Between the States saw the grounds of Wesleyan University used by both sides for quarter- ing troops and other activities. William T. Sherman found Wes- leyan Hall ideal for his offices. Beauregard and Forrest visited the grounds and may have also used the hall for administrative purposes. Confederate forces regained control of Florence in November of 1864, and used the college grounds for dances and parties for three weeks. Wesleyan University survived the war unscathed, but the origi- nal buildings of LaGrange Col- lege were burned by Federal Troops in April of 1863. In the turmoil of the post war economy the Methodists found that they had no more money to run Wesleyan University and offered the grounds to the state for the establishment of the agricultural college. Auburn was chosen instead, so the Methodists offered the facilities as a normal school. A third name change occurred on December 18, 1872, when the school was established as Florence State Normal School, the first state supported teachers college south of the Ohio River. The following year women were allowed to attend, making Florence State Normal School the first co- educational institute for higher learning. With the century came progress at a rapid pace and the need to expand and keep up. An annex, containing a modern laboratory, was added to Wes- leyan Hall in 1907. In 1913, a new dormitory was built to accommodate the increasing number of women attending the Normal School. It was named O ' Neal Hall, after the governor of Alabama. The name of the college was again changed in 1929 to Florence State Teachers College, a name more fitting to its role in the educational system. Advancement and progress became more apparent, and the teachers college flourished as it expanded to meet the require- ments of modern secondary education. Most of the buildings familiar to us today began to spring up. Kilby Training School was the first in 1923, and was expanded in 1930. Then Bibb Graves Hall came in 1930. It was built at a cost of $300,000, and contained administrative offices, classrooms, a library, a cooperative store, a post office, lounges for men and women, society rooms, and a museum. Willingham Hall was built in 1938, as a dormitory on the site of Locust Dell Boarding School. Powers Hall came next, in 1939, followed by Keller Hall and Collier Library in the late 1940s, all of which were named after former presidents of the col- lege. Powers and Keller Halls were originally dormitories. Florence State Teachers Col- lege was shortened to Florence State College in 1957. During the decade the new men ' s dor- mitory, LaGrange, was con- structed. The newer, modern campus next gained the Student Union Building, Flowers Hall, LaFayette Hall, Floyd Hall, and the Fine Arts Center. The twin towers of Rivers and Rice rose over the campus in 1967. University status was granted to the college on September 1 , 1968, and the name became Florence State University. On August 15, 1974, the name The University of North Alabama was adopted. In the recent past the Educa- tion and Nursing Building was constructed; Flowers Hall was annexed, and the Fine Arts Center and Collier Library were both greatly expanded. Progress is always in motion. Today the older buildings have been undergoing modernization. New telephone lines have been installed, and provisions made for the handicapped. Wesleyan Hall is scheduled for renova- tions, and O ' Neal Hall has been razed for the expansion of the Student Union Building. Progress continues, and the university continues to expand in order to meet the needs of students.

THERE WERE GROUP SHOTS to be taken even in the early 1900s. When J. Emory Morris came to campus to shoot this picture at State Normal School, he shot the entire class of 1907 on the steps of Wesleyan. MEALTIME was a little more formal when all the tables had fresh flowers, white tablecloths, and proper place settings. History of UNA 15 1 MORNING PEOPLE Like it or not, sometimes you just gotta take an early class By Chris Manson Morning classes are a drag! How many times have you heard this comment from other students? (Not to mention a few instructors!) Many students com- plain day in and day out that they are not morning people, but could get only morning classes. (This brings up an always-provocative question — just what the devil is a morning person, anyway?) So . . . these poor folks, hungry for higher education but stuck in the I wouldn ' t wish this on my worst enemy predica- ment of having to get up in the morning! And heaven help ' em, sometimes earlier than 7:30! Sure. I think if a person doesn ' t want to get up before Jane Pauley just to drive to school all the way from Dogspit, Mississippi, he shouldn ' t have to do it, one sympathetic student offered. Others agree that non- morning people do not have a place in morning classes, adding that such types are often dis- ruptive. There ' s this one guy, he ' s always oversleeping, right? So he never has time to groom him- self properly for this classmates! Otherwise, he ' d be late for class . . . but he ' s always late anyway! This guy comes in at five minutes past eight and his hair is sticking up! Worse, he acts like there ' s nothing wrong. But most of the class is trying to listen to the professor discuss the Malthusian Doctrine, and this guy ' s head is like a magnet! Drawing our eyes, against our will, toward this thick strand of unwashed hair! a frus- trated student explained. Problems for the unhappy morning class student do not end with funny hairstyles, though. Among the countless other problems these poor wretches encounter: 1. Those days when the student has not had the proper 12 hours of sleep (or has over- indulged the previous night) . . . and realizes after about 30 minutes that he is in the wrong classroom! 2. Trying to catch a few winks in class, and worrying about having to get someone else ' s notes later. 3. Morning speech classes. That is, it is bad enough to doze off while a classmate is speaking, but inexcusable to sleep during your own presentation . 4. The long lines of cranky dorm-dwellers at the showers. 5. That inability to get a good caffeine fix, i.e., the machines are out of every- thing except Pepsi Free. The last thing you could say about morning classes being a drag is perhaps best expresse d by a disillusioned young fellow— a guy who tried many times throughout his seven years as an undergraduate to become a morning person with very little success. If you can ' t change your sleeping habits, don ' t do it. Leave the morning classes to the people who truly want to be there. Find a schedule that ' s con- venient for you, even if it means changing your major to fit the classes available. We never said the fellow knew what he was talking about. A MAJOR ADVANTAGE to taking early morning classes is the parking situation— commuting students who arrive on campus before 8 a.m. can generally park wherever they please (as long as they please to park in the white lines which designate commuter parking, that is). Those commuters who take the after-9 a.m. -courses can pretty well count on parking in the old Appleby School parking lot (or, as it is officially known. Parking Lot Z). 152 STEPHEN ANDERSON Students ' Favorite Early Morning Pastimes Collect Aluminum Cans 4% Read Silly Graphs 2% Read Milton, Chaucer 8% Eat Cold Pizza 42% Go Back to Sleep CATCHING 40 WINKS in the library, Steve Hobbie tries to recover from the effects of getting up for an eight o ' clock class.

As Dr. do work well together. Dr. Clark Thomas Osborne points out, the Mueller and Dr. Thomas Osborne are Middle Eastern countries cover a con- co-creators of the Middle East course, siderable area. Dr. Mueller lectures to the class. 154 ARABIAN NIGHTS The collaboration of two professors produces a course on Middle East culture that may help eliminate typical misconceptions about the area By Carey McElroy The Middle East is a unique and mysterious region of the world which has come to occupy a two-fold position in American thought: we ' re dependent upon that area for its oil supplies but we ' ve also been the victims of terrorist attacks by certain war- ring factions of its people. What ' s needed is an in-depth study of the Middle East which will help to eliminate some of the miscon- ceptions about that area and pro- vide a historical perspective which will broaden our knowledge about the people living in those countries. There is such a course— The Middle East: Past and Present— and it ' s taught by two professors who collaborated on the development of the course. One of the professors teach- ing the course (listed as HI 425 and PS 425) is Dr. Thomas Osborne, associate professor of history. Most Americans know a lot about the Middle East through television and newspapers but it ' s a superficial appreciation of the region and it comes across as something alien and hostile or suspicious, he said. Osborne said that it is part of the course ' s intention to change the attitudes of those who sim- plistically think all Arabs are ter- rorists or everyone in the Middle East is an Arab. The first part of the course deals with the religion and other background material so the stu- dent will understand the divisions of the people of the Middle East. While it will cover the state of current politics, Dr. Osborne stresses that other topics will be included such the Middle Eastern family structure and values, their art, science and technology, as well as Soviet policy interests in the region. It ' s a very multifaceted course, Osborne said. One of the unique elements about the course is that it has two professors. Dr. Clark Mueller, associate professor of political science, is the co-creator of the class. It ' s something of a depar- ture from precedent, said Osborne. Dr. Mueller and I are good friends and we disagree with one another occasionally but don ' t get mad, so we work well in tandem. There ' s a balance of two personalities, he said. Aside from the lecture portion of the course, guest speakers are brought into the classroom. When the course was offered for the first time over a year ago, such guests included the Consul General of Israel. Another guest speaker was an Iranian who fled the country after the revolution and described the situation in Iran under Khomeini. One of the purposes of the course is to bridge the gap between the students and the general public. It ' s offered in the evenings in order to reach the people who aren ' t UNA students but live in the community and would be interested in the course . Is it important to study the Middle East? Dr. Osborne thinks so. In some respects, there ' s more to be gained by the Ameri- can general public ' s study of the Middle East than any other region in the world. ROBERT LAWLER ROBERT LAWLER RAPT with attention, students listen intently as Dr. Mueller discusses Middle Eastern politics. AMERICA ' S GENERAL PUBLIC should be better informed about the Middle East, according to Dr. Osborne. The Middle East class is held in the evenings, in order that more of the community can attend the course. Middle East Class 155 ON THE JOB TRAINING Student teaching gives would be teachers some valuable classroom experience By Jeffrey David Cox it s not a state Student teaching: just a job, it ' s requirement. Simply stated, student teach- ing is a chance for undergradu- ate students majoring in education to put what they have learned into practice. This field experience is very important in helping the student understand what teaching will be like. The Alabama State Board of Education requires students majoring in education to perform at least ten weeks of student teaching, with a minimum of 300 hours prior classroom instruction before they are allowed to graduate. The requirement will increase to 15 to 18 hours student teaching in the areas of Early Childhood, Elementary and Special Educa- tion. This almost doubles the ACTIVITIES are always a fun part of the learning experience for children. Cynthia Heaps gives some of the kids a helping hand with their questions while the others observe in a class at Kilby School. amount the state requires. Secondary Education students will not have to student teach quite as long, but the time will exceed ten weeks. The univer- sity also plans to increase the minimum of classroom hours to an amount in excess of 300 in each major. The only university requirement is the student must maintain at least a 1.2 GPA in their major and professional studies. Kilby School, located across the street from the university, provides a convenient facility for Ear ly Childhood and Elementary Education majors to gain experience in teaching. When the positions at Kilby are filled, public schools are used. Special Education and Secondary Edu- cation work is performed exclu- sively in public schools. Students are not just left on their own in the schools. The training is a cooperative effort between the university and the school the student teaches in. A full-time teacher in the school works with the student, while a supervisor from the university visits weekly and periodically evaluates the student ' s work. A subtle fact some students do not realize is that student teach- ing is a full time job. The teach- ing itself takes up six hours of each day, after which getting ready for the next day may run the time up to as long as nine hours. A part-time job has the potential to hurt the quality of teach ing, since most students are not up to working 12 to 15 hours daily. The Education Depart- ment recommends (though it (Cont. on page 159) ROBERT LAWLER ROBERT LAWLER 156 ROBERT LAWLER REMEMBER SOCIAL STUDIES? Well, Kilby School has student teacher Doris Kimbrell to keep the class interesting. She seems to enjoy teaching as much as these bright-eyed student enjoy listening to her.

ROBERT LAWLER 158 fRAINING ROBERT LAWLER (Cont. from page 156) docs not require) that students give up any other job they have for the time they will be teaching. Students are prohibited from taking any courses while teach- ing, and can only student teach in their last semester, except under very special circum- stances. Special permission may be granted for a student to take a night course. Present concerns about the quality of education are creating a growing movement for teachers to become more involved in their work. Student teaching could be extended for up to a year after a student graduates, with no certification being granted until then. The university is taking a responsive role in guaranteeing the quality of its Education Department, because the caliber of teachers produced is a reflec- tion on the job the university did preparing the student. The stu- dent teaching program is an important step in achieving this goal, as well as preparing stu- dents for their careers. TEACHING REQUIRES a way with children in addition to knowledge of a major subject. Mark Lee explains the basics of kickball to Antonie Daniels as they prepare to play a game.

The conference fea- red four writers who have made a ajor contribution to each of their spective fields. The conference itself three years old and was conceived stimulate and encourage teachers writing as well as those who write ofessionally or as a hobby. WRITERS BLOC The annual Writers Conference brought together four very different women writers for a common cause By Clark Perry I gender as far as writing is concerned, said author Ellen Gilchrist in her opening remarks at the Writers Conference. This year ' s topic of women writers brought in four authors to campus for the two-day event. Gilchrist, whose story collec- tion Victory Over Japan won the 1984 American Book Award, said she took the long route to becoming a fiction writer. I learned my craft as a writer by writing poetry, she said, adding that all writers should try journalism, for a while at least. Voracious reading, particu- larly Ernest Hemingway, provided a thorough background to her career. Her tales of Southern life are populated by unforgettable, neurotic charac- ters whose sometimes humorous actions reflect life ' s absurdities. Gilchrist read an excerpt from the last section of Victory Over Japan, her soft drawl setting the mood for the funny story of a black maid who is witness to the social atrocities of a rich Southern family. Jeanie Thompson, an Alabama poet, read from her collection titled How to Enter the River, a powerful gathering of informal free verse. New works and a work in progress were presented as well. I ' m not a writer who says I ' ve always wanted to be a writer, Thompson said at a question- answer session. I knew I liked stories, and I liked to have them read to me when I was young. Indeed, one of her best poems is inspired by a memory of her father reading to her. But while her subject matter itself is personal, her writing is universal enough to include the reader and listener in its emotion. Writing can be difficult, she said, if you don ' t go outside yourself. Thompson uses painting as an analogy, citing the discipline and determination of artists through- out the ages. Romance novelist Peggy Webb said that she was drawn into writing when she was approached to write a weekly humor column for a publication. A former student of English professor Leatrice Timmons, Webb is the author of ten romance novels, including Taming Maggie and Donovan ' s Angel, released earlier this year. Webb said getting published in the romance genre is more difficult than people might think. Good luck has no part in the publishing business, she stressed. Webb filled her reading with excerpts from her novels. Wouldn ' t you be disappointed if a romance novelist came to speak and didn ' t read a love scene? she asked the audience. Sara Biddle, a local author, wrote her children ' s book, Lost and Found, because of her interest in historial settings. The story of a young girl who emi- grates from Scotland to America was set in the 1800s. The girl is sold upon arrival into child labor, but is rescued by her father in the end. Biddle said of the industry, When you ' re selling books, you have to be really willing to sell your books. It is quite a thing of discipline. The Writers Conference, an annual event, is sponsored by the English Club and Sigma Tau Delta under the auspices of the Department of English.

Manson 1 1 yy ologue: Between the time ■ when you fill out your first schedule card a confused fresh- man and the time you receive your diploma a confused senior, you are quite likely to pass through that cherished sanctuary of books, magazines and microfiches— Collier Library. I. The library, of course, is for studying for an important final, researching a last-minute term paper or copying a month ' s worth of missed Poly Sci notes. But to the many students who put social life ahead of academic fulfillment, this familiar building is simply a great place to hang out and meet people. Girls who study, girls who party but don ' t study, girls who study and party . . . they all come to the library! said Scott Posey, who spends the average six hours a week in the library. I ' m fairly active on campus, but I meet people here everyday that I don ' t know. Other students agree that the library is the most ideal place to expand one ' s circle of friends and lovers. My roommate met his girl- friend here. Oh, he ' d seen her all around campus, but this was the first place he actually got the chance to sit down and talk to her. II. Is the library really a nice, quiet place to study? No talking, no socializing, but some actual hardcore reading and memoriz- ing and note-taking? Consider this: on a Thursday afternoon, during lunch hour, months before finals, the library was packed and unquestionably hushed. Still, there are some who look to the library as a last resort; say, in the case that the dorms become too noisy. A few dead- beats dismiss the place altogether by saying, Well, I only go there like before exams and stuff. With the growing number of non-regulars using the facilities during exam week, however, it would appear as if the library ' s social and academic functions would collide. I really don ' t study here during exams, Eve Elkins explained. If I did, I ' d probably run into someone I know, and that would take away from my study time. Fred Heath, dean of Library Sciences, .agrees that exam time is especially busy, but adds that, during a regular week, Tuesday nights at 7:30 are big. III. I don ' t open a book ever, much less when I ' m in the library! Although some students love to make comments like the above, a few bright individuals have offered some impressive critiques of library materials. The old school annuals on the second floor or third floor ... I like to see what people looked like then . . . you know, when they had trolley cars around . . . This older edition of ' Madame ' s Book of Etiquette ' was interesting and funny . . . things you don ' t do now, like, eating with one hand . . . and not touching the table. Yet many skeptics still fail to acknowledge that the literary critics and authors ' agents of tomorrow are coming from Col- lier Library! IV. Out of 6,000 students, someone is gonna try to sneak something past the Book-O-Graph! Call it a Book-O-Graph or a highly sensitive state of the art detection device, that huge doorway that precedes the library exit is a constant source of amazement and amusement for students. According to Fred Heath, the system (estimated to be worth a cool ten grand) replaced the primitive invasion of privacy method of checking briefcases at the door and the like. Occasionally, the study party scene is interrupted by the Book- O-Graph alarm— someone is (maybe unknowingly) attempt- ing to walk away with a book, without checking it out! This is, however, a familiar sight across the country. In fact, at many schools, people have been sent to jail [for sneaking books], but never here, Heath said. Epilogue: Collier Library. The studious ones call it home, but it is more. The library doubles as a popular campus hangout . . . at least until the spectacular new SUB opens its doors!

ROBERT LAWER Library Life 163 l 1 IT ' S PRACTICAL The continuing education program offers i variety of application courses By Jeffrey David Cox The continuing education pro- gram has finally come into its own after years of steady growth. Since the addition of full-time director Bill Matthews last spring, more than 1,600 stu- dents have enrolled in classes ranging from watercolor painting to assertiveness training. Existing in some form since the 1950s, continuing education originally started as a small entity that only offered one or two courses. The program kept growing into the 1970s, when various staff members headed the department. Continuing education now offers over 140 classes and hopes to add more. Continuing education exists mainly as a public service to the Shoals area. The classes are bas- ically practical application courses which are taught by cur- rent and former faculty and staff, area professionals and others who have a knowledge of a par- ticular skill. Matthews said that if someone is known to have knowledge of a subject which would be appropriate for a continuing edu- cation course, the department asks if he or she would like to teach. All continuing education classes are non-credit and are entirely self-supporting. Matthews said the age of stu- dents enrolled in continuing edu- cation classes range from 25 to 75, and they are not usually students enrolled in traditional college courses, though a small percentage of the students are college age. According to Matthews, the most popular courses are Astronomy for the Family, How to Identify Wildf lowers, and computer courses, which include word processing, data base and spread sheet classes. Most con- tinuing education programs last from four to six weeks and meet once a week for two hours. Some, such as the Writers Con- ference and Social Work Day, are seminars. The courses also serve another purpose. Many persons enrolled in continuing education classes use them as a stepping stone to taking credit courses at the university, since many of the students have reservations about getting back into college life. Matthews said one teacher told him almost 20 percent of her stu- dents eventually enroll in credit courses. The program the university has is very good for an area this size, Matthews said. Each university ' s program is depen- dent in a large part by the size of the community. For a commu- nity this size, 1 believe we have an excellent program, he said. Matthews also said that he would like to see a broader range of courses and an increase in class offerings.

Continuing Education 165 CHOICES ' 86 Decisions that Affect the Society and Individual provided food for thought during the Values Colloquium By Melissa A. Gray The third annual Values Colloquium, Choices ' 86, was more concentrated that past colloquiums. The event, usually a week long, was condensed to two days, October 20 and 21. The colloquium ' s theme was Hard Choices: Decisions that Affect the Individual and Society. Dr. Fred Heath, dean of Library Services and chairman of the colloquium committee said, We hoped that a more concentrated program would produce a larger turnout and would be easier to plan. The program ' s featured speakers were Governor Richard Lamm of Colorado and Virginia Foster Durr of Montgomery, Alabama. Lamm,. three-term Governor of Colorado, is the author of several books, including Megatraumas: America at the Year 2000, The Immigration Time Bomb, and 1988. Durr is an outspoken leader in the national struggle for equal rights for women and blacks. She has also written an autobiography entitled Outside the Magic Circle. On October 20, Lamm delivered the keynote address in Norton Auditorium. The topic of his lecture was Inside the Political Circle: Political Leadership and Personal Integrity. His address was followed by an open forum discussion held in the Fine Arts Building. The forum offered a chance to respond and react to Lamm ' s lecture. Lamm gave a breakfast address on October 21. The topic of the address was America in the Year 2010: Decisions That Will Affect Us All. Before leaving campus, Lamm attended a question and answer session for students sponsored by the Student Government Association. Durr ' s lecture on October 21 was titled Outside the Magic Circle: Sexual and Racial Politics in the Modern South. Durr ' s editor, Hollinger Barnard, was also on hand for the lecture. One of the panelists for the session was the Honorable Oscar Adams, the only black justice on the Alabama State Supreme Court. Durr and Barnard also hosted a book talk and autograph session in Collier Library. The writing of Durr ' s autobiography was discussed. The final event of Choices ' 86 was a reception and autograph session for Durr held at Kennedy-Douglass. MODERATORS Dr. Thomas Osborne and Dr. Wayne Todd open the discussion in the Choral Room fol- lowing the keynote address by Gover- nor Lamm. The topic for the evening ' s discussion in the open forum was Reactions and Responses to Gov. Lamm ' s Address. STEPHEN ANDERSON 166 STEPHEN ANDERSON ADDRESSING THE CROWD gathered in Norton Auditorium, Colorado Gov. Richard Lamm emphasized the theme of the respon- sibility of the statesperson to make tough, equitable decisions in times of increasingly higher costs and shrink- ing resources. CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST Virginia Foster Durr is also a woman devoted to her family. The publicity photos that Mrs. Durr sent to the university to be distributed in connection with her speaking engagement were not typical public relations mug shots— but this engaging photo of Mrs. Durr and her grandchildren. Values Colloquium 167 HALL OF FAME-Cliff Wright, Mark Sanderson, and Noel Gartman. AMONG SEVERAL SPEAKERS and presenters for Honors Night, SGA President Mark Sanderson addresses the group gathered in the Great Hall. RECOGNITION FACTOR Honors Night awards a few of the laurels due the university ' s best and brightest By Michelle Stump phe room was filled with the I most stimulating array of per- sonalities on campus. The leaders, the intellects, the smar- test, and the best were all there. Some were smug, some excited, others were simply satisfied to have gotten so far. All, however, were fully aware of why they were together. They were there to reap the greatest reward of hard work and dedication: recognition. The occasion was Honors Night 1986, an evening spon- sored by the SGA to recognize leadership, scholarship, and service. Students, faculty, and their families gathered on April 8 in the Great Hall for dinner and a traditional award presentation. The Outstanding Service Award was presented to Dr. Charles Keys, a biology profes- sor. Keys, a faculty member for 19 years, was described by presenter Mac Sparks as a man who definitely puts students first. Mark Sanderson was named the UNA Man of the Year, and Lisa Reeder was named UNA Woman of the Year. The Outstanding Senior Woman Award was presented to Linda Cromeans, and the Professional Secretaries Interna- tional award went to Sonya Spivey. The Willingham Award, presented in honor of former Florence State University Presi- dent Dr. Henry J. Willingham, was given to Cynthia J. Smith. The WOWL-ROTC Award was presented to Donna Gooch, while Michael Gooch garnered the Ambassador Award. Pam McCormack, Lisa Reeder, and Melanee Sanders each received an Outstanding Golden Girl Award. The Undergraduate Service Awards were presented by Dean of Student Affairs Dr. Daniel Leasure to Kathy Parker, Mac Sparks, Allison Pride, and Graham Sisson, Jr. Elected into the UNA Hall of Fame were Alan August, Noel Gartman, Mark Sanderson, and Cliff Wright. Dr. William F. Glidewell presented Phi Kappa Phi awards to sophomores Patsy Faye Jacks and Tracy Franklin, to junior William Allen Yocum, and to senior Dorothy Annette Barnes. The evening did not end with these special awards. Students were also honored for having the highest GPA in their major field of study, as well as for being the most valuable member of their organization. A round of applause for the award recipients brought the evening ' s ceremony to a close. The honor, however, did not end there. Each recipient left fully recognized, fully honored and with the feeling that all the long hours of hard work had paid off. 168 CONGRATULATING newly inducted Hall of Fame member Cliff Wright is Dr. Daniel Leasure.

Honors Nlghf 169 BRIGHTER DAYS The commencement ceremonies signaled a new beginning for 445 seniors By Jeffrey David Cox As a lone piano softly plays the traditional Pomp and Circumstance, they walk in and are seated. The room is sud- denly quiet and they respectfully remove their hats for a prayer. Thus began the mid-year commencement. This year ' s program was especially unique because of the guest speaker: Guy Hunt, the first Republican Alabama governor in 1 12 years. Hunt received an honorary doctor of laws degree at the December 19 exercises. University president Dr. Robert M. Guillot said, It ' s the first time in modern times we ' ve had a governor to address a commencement class. So we— I, the Board of Trustees, and others— felt like it was worthy of presenting him with an honorary doctor of laws degree. He also said, It ' s quite an honor to have him come here. After an introduction by Guil- lot, Hunt approached the podium, receiving a standing ovation from the almost 3,000 people in attendance. He began by joking, Now that I ' ve received a doctorate and become educated, I ' m going to start reading my speeches. Hunt said that school funding and education played an impor- tant role in the economy and said a working relationship must be established between educa- tion and business. In short, we can no longer outbid the rest of the world. Today, we must out-think them, Hunt said. He then dis- cussed the Southern Growth Policy Board, a group of 13 governors who are concerned with the growth of the South economically. Speaking of Alabama stu- dents, Hunt said he was impressed by the human resources in the state. He con- tinued by saying self-confidence and optimism were needed in business. These young people deserve EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT Roy Stevens offers his congratulations to Mark Sanderson and Dana Latham after the spring commencement exer- cises May 16. Sanderson, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, won the Tun is Fidelis Award. Latham won the Keller Key. She subsequently was awarded a three-year scholarship to Cumberland School of Law. an education second to none. Our destiny demands we pro- vide it, Hunt said. In closing, he said, After viewing this group, I am sure Alabama ' s future is in excellent hands. At the conclusion of Hunt ' s speech, Dr. Roy Stevens introduced LTC Lester W. Rooker, who commissioned the ROTC graduates. The Keller Key, given to the student with the highest overall GPA, was given to Linda Dur- rette Gaines of Pulaski, Tenn. Gaines had a 2.85 average. Degrees were given to 445 summer and fall semester gradu- ates. Hunt received his degree first, followed by the students. Mid-year commencement will surely be remembered for years to come by all those present. The careers and lives of those gradu- ating will scatter into many differ- ent areas, but will have one unifying bond: UNA.

Jean Phillips, chairman of the appreci- ation day committee, said Guillot ' s friends, parents of university students, alumni and community supporters were invited to the reception for the president in the Student Union Building from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event was to honor President Guil- lot for his being named an Outstanding Administrator by the Alabama Associa- tion of College Administrators. Guillot was cited for his reorganization of Florence State College into a regional university. The AACA said the Headland native had given untiring efforts for quality education during his 14 years at the helm of the university. A surprised Guillot responded, This award is for the whole university commu- nity. I feel it is an award for the very dedi- cated faculty, staff and students of the university who made it possible. Phillips said, Dr. Guillot ' s leadership has brought UNA statewide as well as national recognition in many areas of higher education. He is known as ' Uncle Bob ' to UNA students who remark that he is always available to listen to their con- cerns and give them guidance and support. She continued, Dr. Guillot has made us all proud to be a part of this university. With his dedication and leadership, UNA has enjoyed increased staff and faculty benefits annually, new facilities and upgrading of others and a focus on qual- ity education and new programs for our students. The 10th president of the university, Guillot came to the Shoals area on April 1, 1972, from Vestavia Hills where he served as mayor. He had also been presi- dent of the Alabama League of Municipal- ities and president of Alabama Life Insurance Companies. A high school graduatee of the Dothan system, Guillot By Bill Jarnigan received a B.S. degree from Auburn University and later a law degree from the University of Alabama. The World War II Air Corps veteran received an honorary doctorate from Jack- sonville State University in 1977. Guillot is a former president of the Gulf South Conference, former chairman of the Council of University Presidents (in Alabama, 1980-83) and former chairman of Leadership Shoals. As president of the United Way effort in 1983, Guillot joined the Colbert and Lauderdale chapters into one. He has served as Alabama ' s representative to the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. He is currently serving a four-year term on the President ' s Commission of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

STEPHEN ANDERSON Faculty 1 lO Cough decisions The Board of Trustees controls the budge By Jennifer Oakle When the dust settles after the Board of Trustees meeting, practically no one was spared. Proration had already cut $620,000 from the 1986 budget. Now it wanted $1.2 million more. The members saw no choice but approve a tight $11.3 million budget for the 1986-87 year at its September 12 meeting. Among the decisions were the cancel- lation of the traditional homecoming parade, the possibility of losing 36 non- tenured faculty members, and no promo- tions or cost of living increases for anyone. Faculty, staff, and cost center heads had already been asked to curtail travel and expenditures, including the purchasing of any equipment. To add to the frustration of proration, enrollment dropped below 5,000 students, attributed in part to a smaller pool of high school seniors. There has been a small decline in the past several years, said President Robert M. Guillot, but this year there is a real decline which further compounds our problems. Guillot said he disliked telling everyone bad news, but with increasing proration he admitted realistically that the university ' s financial situation could get worse before it gets any better. Guillot added that the next several years would be a challenge, but was confident everyone would do their part to help the situation. And members of the Board of Trustee are responsible for the biggest part of th challenge: the budget. Board members include Governc George C. Wallace, State Superintender of Educatio n Dr. Wayne Teague, UN President Robert M. Guillot, and Studer Government Association Presiden Graham Sisson. Other members are John T. Bulls, ' Jr. R. Lonnie Flippo, and E.A. Nelson, Jr. from Florence; Billy Don Anderson am Charles L. Beard, Jr., from Sheffield Charlie M.

But this definition doesn ' t say anything about enjoying your job. So, what would you call someone whose lifeblood is his work and who truly enjoys the job? You could call him Dean Leasure. Dr. Daniel R. Leasure is Dean of Stu- dent Affairs at the university, and has been since 1983. Before that, Dr. Leasure served as Dean of Student Services at Ten- nessee Tech. Although Dean Leasure says that he is content to mix his career in with his per- sonal life, he does like diversion. According to Dean Leasure, one of his main interests is the Alabama Boys ' State Convention. He became involved with the Boys ' State program while at Tennessee Tech. Leasure said, I was asked to take over as the director of Boys ' State. At first I said no. But I became convinced to take the job. I saw this an an opportunity to get good students to attend Tennessee Tech. Leasure served as Boys ' State director at Tennessee Tech for four years. When Leasure came to Florence in 1983, one of the first people he talked was Carmel Olive, the state commander elect of the Alabama American Legion. Olive had received information from Tennessee concerning Leasure ' s employment with the Boys ' State program. Olive asked Leasure to serve on the Alabama Boys ' State Con- vention. One of my first goals at UNA was to get the Boys ' State Convention to be held here, said Leasure. Leasure was named chairman of the convention. He implemented a bid system, where the school with the lowest bid for room and board would host the convention. The following year Boys ' State was held at UNA. Leasure said, Boys ' State is a good way to get some good students here. And it also provides wide visibility for the university in the news media. Aside from his Boys ' State work and his job as Dean of Student Affairs, Leasure is a part of many local organizations. He is involved with the local post of the Ameri- can Legion. He served as commander of his legion post in Cookville, Tennessee. Leasure is a member of Downtown Florence Unlimited which is an organiza tion designed to enhance the appearanct of downtown Florence. 1 am also a member of the Shoal: Alternative Network, said Leasure. Hr continued, This program is set up to pro: vide alternative, wholesome activities fo people who take drugs. And this is th organization that was responsible for thr Big Brothers Big Sisters organization t come to the Shoals area. In addition to all these programs anc activities, Leasure is a member of thi Rotary Club, the First Presbyteriai Church, and is on the state board Cooperative Campus Ministries. I have very little leisure time, salt Leasure. But I do enjoy a good workou at the Y whenever I can. He also said the he sometimes goes fishing with Jin Warren from the Baptist Student Union And I love the beach, Leasure said He said that one week every summer hi goes to the beach with his daughters. Lots of people need games for recre ation, Dean Leasure said. But, he con tinued, I ' m satisfied with my life whicl centers around UNA. JIMMY R DAVIS Aistant Professor ol Dramatic Arts DR.

Hattabaugh has been dean of the School of Education since July 1. Dean Hattabaugh received his Bachelors and Masters Degree from Eastern Illinois University and his Doc- torate from the University of Illinois. He taught at Elk Grove, Illinois, public schools and at Eastern Illinois University laboratory school; and taught as a gradu- ate assistant at the University of Illinois and was dean at Henderson State University. The most valuable lessons to prepare me for this job were my own experiences as a teacher and as an administrator, said Dr. Hattabaugh. He continued, Since I ' ve been here I have had many opportunities for decision making. We ' ve had an opportunity to work with our Inservice Education Center in appointing a director, we had several positions at Kilby that needed to be approved, a new program that needed to be approved at the State Department of Education level, and several budget con- siderations related to proration. I would like to relate to the students here that teaching is a continuous series of decision making, and that research shows us there are decisions that teachers can make that will enhance achievement and those can be learned. Dean Hattabaugh explains that the entrance level requirements will continue to be raised. Right now students can enter the School of Education with a 1.2 grade-point average. We can look for that to go to 1.5 in the fairly near future. This primarily have an impact on new student rather than students who are already in th system. Dean Hattabaugh is impressed with th people at the university. I ' m ver impressed with the students here, the corr munity support of the University and wit the faculty and staff that I ' ve had th opportunity to work with, he said. He is enthusiastic about the administre tion as well. I ' ve had tremendous support from th central administration, Dr. Guillot and D: St evens and others in the administratio team. The students and faculty can ' t wor effectively without that support. DR. KENNETH R. JOHNSON Head. Department of History DR. ROBERT E. JOHNSON Professor of Education DR. CELIA G.

The dean of the School of Nurs- 1 said, I think it ' s interesting that edu- tion professionals pursue hobbies that quire physical rather than mental con- ntration. Going to auctions and buying the best m for the best price and then refinish- it has been a favorite pasttime for ilson. ' Refinishing an item is good therapy. I n concentrate on it and forget about her things. I enjoy the excitement of get- immediate appraisal of my work, hen you work with people it takes years to see results, she said. Wilson did background research to teach herself about refinishing. She said, One time I had a drawer that needed the veneer on the front replaced. I asked a couple of neighbors who have wood shops if they thought it would be too hard for me to tackle and they said no. After I did the veneer I found out that neither of them had ever tried it before. Wilson has worked at the art of refinish- ing for three years now and is ready to move on to a new hobby. Wilson said, When I feel I have mastered something I am ready to move on. I like the diversion of trying something different. Wilson has signed up for a class in knit- ting and said she would love to learn to crochet and quilt some day. Besides her refinishing Wilson enjoys reading mystery novels. Books with med- ical problems, suspense, and description interest her the most. Wilson said, I have found that you cannot be married to your job. If you are, you become ineffective and boring. That is why I enjoy keeping busy trying new things. JACQUELINE OSBOURNE Supervising Teacher. Kllby School DR. THOMAS OSBORNE Associate Professor of History DR. THOMAS O.

Conwill, dean the School of Business. Mr. Conwill joined the University of orth Alabama (then Florence State Col- ge) in 1958 as assistant professor of ccounting. In 1964 he became head of ie Department of Business and remained this position until 1973 when the School f Business was formed. He became the rst UNA School of Business Dean and antinues to serve in that position. In Dean Con will ' s spacious office, you can see evidence of his relaxing hobby. In front of his books, on his bookshelves lay three wooden toys, which he has worked. One of my hobbies is making toys or cabinets from wood. I love working with wood, explains Dean Conwill. Working with wood is only one of Dean Con will ' s favorite hobbies. He also enjoys writing about memories of things as they used to be. Anyone who can relate to stories grand- parents are famous for telling will be able to appreciate what Dean Conwill has to say in his writing. His writing brings back the memories of how things used to be when life moved slower and was more peaceful and gasoline was 25 cents per gallon . A friend of my daughter made a com- ment about life in the rural part of the country prior to this big growth of the country. My daughter wanted copies of my thoughts. I started writing, and I found that I enjoyed it, explains Dean Conwill. Dean Conwill has been married to Doris Conwill for thirty years. They have two children— Larry, 28 and Lynn, 26. iftitt DR.

Heath says the best librarians are people who combine academic skill with the ability to meet the public. He explains this by saying that libraries offer a service, so the job requires people who can meet the public and deal with them in a persona- ble way. Heath has been working with the university library since 1980. During that time, he and the library staff have accomplished many things. They moved to a larger building. They ' ve also expanded the book budget and the staff. He says his remaining goal is to carry automation further into the collections aspect of the library. He would like Col- lier Library to have better and quicker access to libraries at Alabama, Auburn, and other universities across the state. He adds that progress is being made. Heath did not always want to be involved with library services. Prior to the Vietnam War he received a Masters degree in Russian History. He had been in ROTC in college, so he enlisted in the Air Force during the war. He served as a Captain. After the war, education jobs were scarce. Heath says he wanted to work in education but could not afford to put three or four more years into his education. By Vicki Pounders Yet he wanted to work in something dealing with education. He saw Library Services as an option. His wife Jean is also in Library Services. She is the professor of Childrens Litera- ture at the Kilby Training School as well as Librarian. They have two children. Their 16 year- old daughter Laura is a junior at Bradshaw High School. Their son Ben, age 4, is in nursery school at Kilby. In his free time Dr. Heath enjoys travel- ling and other family activities. I like golf, he says with a smile, but I ' m not very good at it.

' Now that I look back at everything that ipened, I know it was worth it, said Lemore. McLemore and her husband Harold pted Kyle at 1 1 months and Kevin at lonths from a day-care center in Mon- rlaros, Brazil. ' We went through a lot to get these chil- li, said McLemore. Mr. and Mrs. McLemore have a daugh- Kristy, 13. They wanted to adopt a Id, but Alabama state law states that rents who have a child cannot adopt a Jd in the U.S. A lady told my mother about a minister Mobile that might could help us. When got in contact with him and he gave a name of an attorney in Brazil who uld help us with the adoption, said :Lemore. The Brazilian attorney did all the paper rk and finally in the middle of Febru- ; the McLemores received a letter saying at they could come to Brazil to pick up boys. When we arrived in Brazil, there was • one at the airport to meet us. The attor- y was supposed to meet us, but he didn ' t show up, because of a mis- understanding. said McLemore. It was a difficult trip for the McLemores. We were in an airport in Brazil. We cannot speak any Portuguese and no one around us could speak English. Someone at the airport arranged for someone to pick us up and take us to a motel. The same man who brought them to the motel arranged for them to make an overseas call. I called my mother in Florence, she called the minister in Mobile, the minister called the attorney and then the attorney got in touch with us, said McLemore. The children were allowed to stay with Mr. and Mrs. McLemore while they were in Brazil. They were required by the judge in the case to stay in the country for seven days before they could leave with the children. The whole time the boys were with us, I didn ' t doubt the adoption at all. 1 knew they were ours, said Mrs. McLemore. But there were complications with Kyle ' s paperwork and they had to leave him behind in Brazil. Leaving Kyle behind was the hardest thing I think I ' ve ever done, said McLemore. In May, the McLemores made a second trip to Brazil to pick up Kyle. When they left with Kyle, they were Anna McLemore has two new sons By Chrissie Shedd escorted to an office in the basement of the police station. We didn ' t know what was going on. In my imagination, I could see prison. Here we were in a strange country and we could not understand what they were talk- ing about, said McLemore. Eventually the police realized that they could not speak any Portuguese. An inter- preter finally explained the misunderstand- ing to the McLemores. We found out that people had been stealing babies, McLe- more said. After the police searched them, the police called the Judge, the federal police and the American consulate. Finally the McLemores were allowed to leave Brazil with their son. We had a great homecoming. Our house was decorated in blue ribbons. The whole neighborhood was excited for us, said McLemore. She added, From day one, both Kyle and Kevin felt at home. There were really no adjustment problems. On Mrs. McLemore ' s office file cabinet is a picture of two little boys, who look like they were born brothers. They may not have the same blood, but they are real brothers with a real family.

But the purpose of the partment hasn ' t changed. Dr. Elizabeth Walter, who was named rmanent head of the Department in igust, said, We here in the Art Depart - nt are in the business of making art. Dr. Walter has been at the university ice 1975. She is an associate professor art. She received her A.B. degree in 57 from Florence State College, her A. in 1969 from the University of abama and her Ph.D. from the Univer- y of Georgia in 1978. Dr. Walter took the job of acting depart- ant head in August, 1985. She replaced Fred O. Hensley. She said, Mr. Hensley resigned as head of the Art Department in order to return to teaching. He is still here at UNA. According to Dr. Walter, there is more pressure at work for her now that she is head of the department. She said, My job is very, very challenging. It offers many opportunities. But there is the strain of representing UNA ' s Art Department to the community, in addition to acting as a liai- son between the faculty and the adminis- tration. Dr. Walter also teaches three classes each semester. These classes are: Introduction to Art History, Art History Survey, and an upper-level seminar course. Teaching is what I ' m here for. Being head of the department is a job in addi- tion to teaching, Dr. Walter said. She continued, It is sort of like having two jobs. Dr. Walter is very proud of the Art Department. She said, We have a fully actualized curriculum that has turned out some very remarkable and outstanding graduates. The reason for this pride is clearly evi- dent as you look at the students ' artwork in Dr. Walter ' s office and in the gallery. BARBARA W.

For Elsie Morris, secretary to the Dean of Student Affairs, that sentence could be finished with . . . wins together. Morris and her husband have several barefoot skiing titles between them. Nineteen eighty-five was the first year for a veteran women ' s division in the barefoot competitions. (The veteran women ' s division is for competitors 45 and over.) That year, Morris won the Alabama Barefoot Championship in June, the Southern Regionals in July, and the National Championship in August. In June of 1986, Morris again won the Alabama Barefooters Championship. In July, she won for tricks at the regionals, setting a new national record. But during the regionals she fell and pulled a hamstring. As a result, she didn ' t ski anymore in 1986. Yet though the injury kept her from skiing, it was not a serious injury. She will begin again in the spring. Other members of the family also ski. Her husband is the reigning National Champion in the men ' s veteran division. The youngest of their two daughters also skis barefoot. Morris also has two grandchildren. Her granddaughter thinks it ' s wild to have a grandmother who skis barefoot. While Morris began skiing as a teenager, she has been barefooting for only four years. She begins skiing each year in March. During the summer, the Morrises try to ski everyday. In the winter, they work out at By Vicki Pounde Ron ' s gym to stay in shape. They als watch video tapes to learn to ski bette As for difficulty, Morris says thl barefoot skiing is not much harder the regular skiing. If you ' re a good skiier and are in goc physical condition, it ' s not that muc harder, she says, adding that it is mo: expensive. The extra expense is for a stronger bos padded wetsuits, ropes, handles, driver: and coaches. Barefoot skiing is also great exercis Morris says that the oldest competitor is and is in better shape than most peop half his age. Will she still be skiing at 71? I hope so, she laughs. The Lord wi, ing I will be skiing at 71.

They are E.W. Dub Givens and Mary Crunk, both of Florence. Givens is super- visor of the grounds, while Crunk is the caretaker of the greenhouse. Between the two of them they decide what kinds of flowers, shrubs, or trees will be placed where, and they decide when the plants will be moved and replaced by other ones. Givens said he and his staff are respon- sible for keeping paper picked off the ground, mowing the grass, trimming trees, transplanting plants, as well as keeping the sidewalks cleared of grass, leaves, snow or ice. We ' re responsible for the entire campus, including the intramural field, practice field, both tennis courts [Appleby and Kilby], fraternity row where the organizations have not yet built their houses, and even on Stadium Drive at Braly [Municipal] Stadium after a home football game, said Givens. He and Crunk can also be credited with keeping all the flower beds around campus full of colorful and attractive plants. Crunk said, I ' m always looking for flowers and plants that are different to grow to make the university more beautiful. The main attractions around campus include the carefully laid-out flower beds in front of Bibb Graves, Keller and Rogers Halls, as well as the ones in front of the president ' s home and in the alumni star which lies between Seminary Street and Morrison Avenue. In front of Bibb Graves, pink, white and red begonias, with small shrubs, outline the sidewalk leading to the three-story administrative building in the fall. Vari- colored tulips are there in the spring. Leading to Keller ' s front doors, blue ageratums and monkey grass adorn the flower beds. In front of Rogers, the heart is filled with yellow and purple chrysanthemums, outlined by small green shrubs, to exhibit the school colors at the main university entrance on North Court Street. The president ' s home shows off yellow chrysanthemums, while the star has a mixture of gold chrysanthemums, blue ageratums and pink and white begonic The university has its own greenhou in which the majority of the plants used campus are grown. We try to bring in three different kin of flowers a year. We change the flow beds in the fall, spring and the summei said Givens. He supervises eight to 11 workei depending upon the season. His depa ment has done such a good job it has wo a Florence beautification award five tim during the past four years. One was tl excellence award, which is the highs honor, given in 1985 for Rogers Hall ai grounds. Givens and his staff not only keep tl grounds green, but they also add vital: to the inside of buildings, such as the St dent Union Building, with their healtl plants. The plants definitely add life ai color to the university. A national facilties expert said that tl campus is one of the best kept in the stat This is a tribute to the men and wome such as Givens and Crunk, who work wi director of physical plant Clyde Buck Beaver.

Seven of the ten members of the Golf team were returning veterans, and perhaps as a result the team posted an overall record of 85 wins and 41 losses for the season. 1 think we should have done better than we did this season because of the experience on our teams, head coach Gary Elliot said. In their best tourney for the fall season, the Lions came off with a first place finish in the Goodyear Golf Tourney at Union City, Tennessee. The Lions compiled a team score of 598 as they competed against eight teams. Mitchell Young, a junior, came in with the lowest score for the Lions (149) and runnerup for the lowest score for the tourney. The Lions competed against many experienced teams in many tough tourna- ments. This season they managed a fourth place finish in the Alabama Intercollegiate Golf Tournament which was held in Tus- caloosa. They competed against school such as the University of Alabama, Auburn University, and Division II rivals Jackson- ville State and Livingston. The Lions By Jamie Burcham posted a score of 875. Steve Lee, the only senior on the team, finished with the lowest score for the Lions (214) and made the All Tournament team. We had some tough competition in the Intercollegiate Tournament, especially from schools like the University of Alabama and Auburn, said Elliott. Our toughest tournament this season was the Gulf South Conference Tournament. The Lions ended their season finishing fourth in the conference with a team score of 932. Troy State University won the tournament with a score of 894 followed by Jacksonville State University (907) and University of Tennessee -Martin (910). We competed really well and we should have place higher than we did, Elliott said . I expected us to finish at least second or third. Lee, who was the low scorer for the Lions with 226, also made All-Gulf South Conference team. Other members of the Lions team are Bryan Askew, Curtis Copeland, Scott Richardson, Scott Stephens, Mitch Young, Steve Cummings, Ch uck Anderson, Vance James and Darrin York. _ WITH TOTAL CONCENTRATION, Steve | Cummings gently taps the ball with his putter £ on the 18th hole. ! s Go 203 SMASHING that forehand home, Rich Wil- I liams leaves the ground in this game against u Jacksonville State.  FOLLOWING THROUGH his swing.

Double Fault The Lions tennis team had a somewhat disappointing season due to inexperience and a tough schedule The surprisingly young tennis team had a tough break with a season record of 12-15. But ironically, it was a freshman from Athens, Georgia, who proved to be a strong factor for the team. Rod Pass com- pleted the season with a record of 18-11. Another standout for the young team was Rich Williams, who finished the season 18-7. The tennis season got off to a shaky start as the Lions dropped their first match to the University of the South, 1-8. But after the defeat, the Lions came back to over- power a tough Union University 7-2. Subsequent wins for the team were gained from Lakeland College, Southern MEN ' S TENNIS TEAM-Front Row: Mike Haddow, Bryan Green, Phillip Brantley, Steve Parker, Jonathon Truitt, Rich Wil- liams.

Tennis coach Larry Thompson is not dismayed, however. He thinks that the team, now with a year ' s experience under their belts, can really achieve some goals this year. They will definitely be competi- tive, said Thompson. Other players for the team include Chris 8 Reese (a junior college transfer from g Opelika), Mike Haddow, Kyle Collins and Keith Wheat.

The Lady Lions started their season with some strong wins over area univer- sity teams. They scored a good win over Mississippi University 8-1, and then went on to beat Delta State 5-4. Defeating the Statesmen boosted the UNA netters to 3- 1 for the beginning season action. A six game winning streak achieved by the Lady Lions was unfortunately ended by a 6-3 Jefferson State victory. The Lady Lions have five returnees from last year ' s team. They are Laurie Brandt, Tina Hovater, Lisa Mills, Pam Hamlin and Melissa Beasley. Freshmen Terri Riley and Wendy Walker complete By Wade Myhan the Lady Lions team. The women finished a disappointing fourth in the annual Gulf South Confer- ence tennis tournament. Coach Coley said, It ' s been a very good year, but I ' m disappointed in the way the conference went. I thought Valdosta might win, but I really expected us to be close. Valdosta did, indeed, go on to win the conference title. Coach Coley and her Lions went up against Jacksonville State in the confer- ence action with a hard-earned victory.

J - I ■ ROBERT LAWLER 208 Fast Pitch Life in the fast lane for the softball team led to an extremely successful season By Mike Purser and Wade Myhan Coach Ande Jones admits she was a little skeptical going into the first fast-pitch season for the women ' s softball team. I wasn ' t sure what to expect, Jones said, but we got a real good bunch of girls in and I couldn ' t have asked for a better year. It was a total team all season. Every- thing they did was for the benefit of the group. At the end of the season the UNA Lady Lions finished with a 16-10 record. With a conference record of 13-5 it was no wonder the Lady Lions captured the fast pitch softball Gulf South Conference title. Charlotte Jordan and Michelle Logan were the two pitchers that led the Lady Lions to capture the GSC title. Jordan finished the season with a 9-5 record and a 2.53 earned run average. Logan ' s record was 7-5 with a 3.16 ERA. At the plate, the Lady Lions averaged .238 in full season play. Jordan led with .358 followed closely behind was Lori Stocksett at .357. Melissa Shull finished the year at .327 while Kelly Varnell at .314, Kelli Terrell at .308, Logan at .288, and Wanda Nichols at .283 rounded out the pack. Other team members included Beth Harris, Jane Nelson, Kim Spencer, Kim Smith, and Veronica Starr. Three Lady Lions (Jordan, Logan, and Stocksett) were chosen to represent UNA on the GSC All-Conference team.

ROBERT LAWLER 210 Rough Terrain The Cross Country teams don ' t let a little cold, (or rain, or mud) stop them from competing Cross Country people may be the hardest working athletes of all. They thrive in weather that makes our teeth chatter. They brave outside conditions most of us would rather leave to the mail carriers. But most of all they are mentally tough, and it is this tough attitude that usually spells defeat for their opponents. Coach Sharman Coley said the team was strong this year, but young. Both teams have improved as the season went along, and we should do well next fall because of this [improvement]. Having good, dependable runners is just as important in Cross Country as having a dependable quarterback in foot- ball. They all work together toward win- ning races. We made a good showing overall; both teams were extremely strong, Coley said. UNA was strong indeed, with the men finishing 36 and 20, and the women finish- ing 21 and 13 for the season. Coley said the men ' s best race was the West Georgia Invitational, held in October at Carrollton, Ga., where they finished third in a field of 13 teams. The women ' s top outing was the Berry College Invita- tional in September at Rome, Ga., where the team placed second overall. In the fall season, two of the women, Teresa Steele and Carol Franklin, made All-Conference. Steele went on to com- pete in the nationals held in Riverside, By John F. Lenz Calif. Franklin and Steele always finished near the top, Coley said. Of the individual members, Coley cited Andy Trotter and Wayne Gordy Wallace as the most consistent. The most improved title went to two runners, Scott Trimble and Kyle Collins. Of freshman Trimble, Coley said, Around the end of the year he came on and started running at the top of the pack. And, of former tennis team member Col- lins she said, [He] improved his time drastically; he ' ll be back next year. Returning runners for the men will be Parks, Trimble, White, Broome, Collins and Wallace. The returning women will be Franklin, Bell, Bennett, Heaps, Allen and Steele. According to Coley, the toughest race of the year was at Mississippi College in Clinton, Miss. Conditions were really bad, Coley said, referring to the three- mile race run in rain and mud over a very hilly course. Both teams, however, did fairly well. The men finished the South Conference season placing eighth out of ten teams. The women finished fourth of 17. The South Region is comprised of Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. We always train hard, even in the off- season, and should be very competitive again next year, Coley said.

The Lions won both games with Sam- ford, by a score of 9-1 and a 9-0 rout. Double Play The Lions baseball team and Mike Lane ' s coaching staff are a winning combination Coach Mike Lane and his ball club came close to repeating their 1984 season record of 46-11-1 with this year ' s 34-16-1— which goes to show that Coach Lane and his Lions play a pretty consistent baseball game. Although this season was good, the coaching staff really expected a little better than 34-16-1. We lost quite a few ball games that were real close and to some really tough opponents such as Jacksonville State 2-5 and 2-4. We had a tough split win with Delta State 5-7 and 7-0 victory, said Coach Lane. The Lions did pick up another close vic- tory with Delta State early in the season with a 4-3 win. The Lions took care of the home opener with a bang in this year ' s season. They took two hard fought victories over the visiting Ferris State College of Michi- gan with 4-0 and 14-2 as the winning scores. By Wade Myhan The Lions went on to start the season off with wins over Ferris State again (14-5 and 9-5) and with rival Samford Univer- sity (13-5 and a 5-5 tie). Two of the high spots in the Lions ' season included the drafting of two of UNA ' s top players, Harry Shelton and Jim Czajkowski. Harry Shelton was drafted in the 17th round by the Chicago Clubs, and Jim Czajkowski was drafted in the 20th round by the Atlanta Braves. These two drafts are examples of the kind of program Coach Lane and his staff have going for the University. Lane had high praise for his pitchers. Our pitching staff did an outstanding job in the season, they ranked in the top 10 in the country in pitching as a team. One of the players in the top 10 as a pitcher was Frankie Turner, he had a 5-5 season. Frankie Turner was also chosen All Division Pitcher, said Lane.

(Cont. from page 213) In addition to Turner ' s appointment to All Division, Mark Krumbach was chosen All Conference Shortstop along with Harry Shelton as All Conference Outfielder. Pitching is something a baseball team can never have too much of early in the season with a 5-3 record, and Coach Lane knows we ' ve been fortunate that our pitchers have performed well for us. Junior Chuck Ashcraft has been the Ace for us, said Lane. He is 1-1 overall with a 2.25 ERA over 16 innings. Brent Bolin has a 1.88 ERA after a 14 ' 3 innings of work. David Matt, Frankie Turner, Kevin Ayers and Pat Bruce have also performed well according to Coach Lane. We ' re here to win baseball games and that ' s the reason a lot of them came to this program, because they knew we were going to compete at the national level, said Lane. The Lions started the Gulf South Con- ference with a hard earned win over West Georgia College at 9-3. They went on to play Tennessee-Martin for a disappointing loss of 5-6. The Lions then went up to pick up two great wins over another match with West Georgia College 12-7 and the upsetting of Tennessee-Martin with 10-7. Rival Jack- sonville State then went on to beat the Lions with a grueling 15-5 victory. This year ' s season was a good experience for the team, and the key to their success was outstanding coaching, and to put it plainly, fine teamwork. Out of all the qualities the team has there is still one more key to their success, and that is attitude. The Lions definitely have a winning attitude. .-. ■ ■. 214 te IN A MAD SCRAMBLE with Blake Rosson, Mark Krumback scoops up the ball and throws it back to the infield in a Samford University game. , - GOING BACK to second base, Harry Shel- ' t ton evades the tag of the Alabama Christian : f College player.

Baseball 215 National The Bisons and Coyotes came down souil to play for the NCAA Division II title By Bea Beaux It was another Yankee invasion, but this time the Shoals was ready. This time, in fact, the Shoals asked for it. The area bid for, and won, the right to have the NCAA Division II football cham- pionship game played in Braly Municipal Stadium for at least three years. UNA and the other Gulf South Conference teams were eliminated from contention for the Number One spot fairly early in the season. And on Saturday, December 13, the first national football championship game held in the Shoals was played by two teams from up north — the defending champions, the Bisons of North Dakota State University, and the Coyotes of the University of South Dakota. The Shoals was more than ready to welcome the two teams and their fans. It was a bit disappointing for Lions fans to know that this year, at least, UNA was not in contention for the title. But that didn ' t stop a record number of Shoals foot- ball fans from coming out to support the two contending teams. The weather even cooperated— after a week of muddy, rainy days, that Saturday dawned clear and beautiful. The fans who came in droves were not disappointed— both teams played an excellent game and when the North Dakota Bisons emerged victorious (27-7) after the last quarter, there was a well- deserved celebration. It was the third national championship in four years for the Bisons, and Coach Earle Solomonson was justifiably proud of his team. I don ' t know if this is a dynasty but it ' s been an awful good four years, he said. Fans who watched the two teams play agreed— both the Bisons and the Coyotes were true chamj. ' ons. TWO OF THE MANY dignitaries on hand for the championship game, Allen H. Neuharth (president of Gannett Co. Inc. and chairman of USA Today) and Tom Brokaw (of NBC News), cheer on the Coyotes. Another South Dakota alumnus present was Joe Robbie (owner of the Miami Dolphins). Also on hand were the governor and governor-elect of South Dakota.

A JOYOUS MOMENT is shared by Head Coach Earle Solomonson and Assistant Coach Rocky Hager of NDSU.

The Andover, Minn., senior wears the Number 1 on his jersey with good reason- in addition to his success on the football field, Bentrim is the winner of the first Harlon Hill trophy. The Harlon Hill trophy, named after the legendary football player from the Shoals, will be given in Florence every season to the best football player in NCAA Division II. BOTH SENIORS, Jeff Bentrim and Jim Dick have had the honor of playing for the cham- pionship tide for four straight years— and win- ning three out of those four games, including last year ' s victory over the UNA Lions. 1,000 MILES didn ' t stop these South Dakota fans from coming south to cheer for their team. The official attendance was 11,506— a number which included many Shoals fans who enjoyed the game almost as much as the NDSU and South Dakota supporters.

But, he added, the statistics have shifted. We now have more females involved than last year. Houk said, I think the women are get- ting more involved as a result of the All Sports Trophy. The All Sports Trophy is awarded to the team that has the most overall points at the end of the year. The All Sports Trophy keeps participa- tion up as teams play for points in an ongo- ing competition. Houk said, We now have a trophy case in the gym for intramural winners. Each event has a trophy or plaque. We put team pictures with the trophies to show who are the champions for the year. The new director has several goals he would like to see accomplished. One goal would be to add more sports events to the program that are considered lifetime sports, ones that can be continued to be played for a person ' s lifetime. The lifetime sports would include sports like badminton, frisbee golf, and dart tournaments, Houk said. Houk said he would also like to have more events that would allow students to travel to other universities to compete against a variety of teams. I think we need to begin plans to use mailers and flyers to inform students of activities. I know more people would beebme involved if everyone had a fair chance to learn about events. That is the purpose of intramurals— to get everyone involved in something. MIKE KITTREU. TOUCHDOWN BOUND, the BSUs Johnny Berry dodges Wesley Foundation team players. Intramurals 219 MOLLIE H.

FIERCE COMPETITION in the UNA-UT- Martin game brings Coach Ande Jones to her feet to encourage the Lady Lions. VICTORIOUS LADY LIONS Amy Watkins ind Vicki Mesplay share an emotional . nt after winning the Gulf South Con- ference championship. 220 I m Setting Tradition Continued excellence for the women ' s volleyball team led them to a GSC championship By Mollie H. McCutchen The outlook for the 1986 volleyball season was not one that made Coach Ande Jones comfortable with her team ' s potential. She expected it to be a season for rebuilding and exposing the team to the rigors of competition from the many talented teams they were to face. Though their record ended at 23 wins and 19 losses, the women showed their determination and strength of character by winning the Gulf South Conference in grand style. We talked at the beginning of the season about our only goal, which was the GSC title, said Coach Jones, and it really didn ' t matter what our record was at the end. One of the difficulties the team faced was the loss of three key players from the 1985 squad. A poor recruiting year wor- sened this problem, forcing the team to find new leaders within itself. The three seniors proved able to pro- vide that needed leadership and motiva- tion for the younger players. Vicki Mesplay and Audrey Porter, both starters, played well throughout the season, and per- formed admirably during the GSC tourna- ment. It was this consistency that earned them the honor of being selected to the All- Conference team at the end of the com- petition. Lori Spalding, the third senior, was the team ' s main source of support and encouragement, spreading her enthusiasm both on and off the court. Other exceptional players this year included Julie Jones, a junior setter, and Pasola Swoope, a sophomore hitter. Jones was depended upon to run the offensive attack, fulfilling a great respon- sibility which had been placed upon her. According to Coach Jones, Julie did not play as well as she was capable early in the season, but improved tremendously towards the end, helping the team capture the conference title. Pasola Swoope over- came a lack of experience to earn a start- ing position and played a prominent role in the offense as a left-side hitter. She, too, made the All-Conference team, an unusual achievement for a sophomore.

(Cont. from page 221) There were several other sophomores and freshmen that shared the sixth start- ing position. Of these, the three most out- standing were Shea Lindley and Ami Watkins, both freshmen, and sophomore Hellen Frazier. This was the first year that coaches from the region chose twelve players they believed were talented enough to receive regional recognition. Vicki Mesplay was selected for this award and was the only player from Alabama picked to represent her region, with the remaining players being selected from the well-known schools in Florida and Mississippi. Coach Jones believes this to be an honor for both Mesplay and the school ' s program. The season is considered by Coach Jones, now in her eighth year of coach- ing, to have been a success. The team ' s record is a bit misleading with the 19 losses, si nce thirteen of these were to nationally ranked teams. However, she regrets the losses to GSC members such as Jacksonville and Tennessee-Martin. The conference title is the most impor- tant, though, and this was the third year in a row and four out of the past five that her teams have claimed it. She says that she has been pleasantly surprised this year, and looks forward to next fall. VOLLEYBALL TEAM-Front Row: Pasola Swoope, Audrey Porter, Lori Spalding, Vicki Mesplay, Jill Robertson.

MOLLIE H. McCUTCHEN Volkvball 223 THE PRACTICE RANGE gives Al Roberts a chance to brush up on his technique. The range is s et up in the basement of the Math Building. Target The rifle team needs to develop some experience in order to become a winning team One would probably think the rifle team participates in one of the loudest sports around— but that ' s not true. In fact, the sport is one of the quietest, with perhaps only golf being quieter. The rifle team, although not a number one-ranked team, has consistently had a good showing in the Gulf South Confer- ence. The team has been coming in third in the GSC for the last few years, but according to the coaches ' projections, their standings may drop to fourth. The main factor in the downgrade of the team is lack of personnel. Because of the NCAA eligibility rule that applies to the rifle team as well as the other sports, the team has suffered the loss of two players from last year due to low grades. The team is .By Wade Myhan just lacking experienced personnel, said Coach Frank Green. The rifle team participated in four very large tournaments during the season that had several shooters who may one day be shooting for the U.S. in the Olympics. Those four tournaments are the Roger Withrow Invitational at Murray State, the Mardi Gras Invitational at Nichols State, the GSC Championship tournament at Delta State and the Gamecock Invitational at Jacksonville State. This year ' s team captain is Hayes Ellis, with Johnny Blackwell, Chip Thompson and Rich Colwell returning from last season. Johnny Blackwell benefitted the team as being the highest scorer on the team with a 540 (out of 600) average.

MIKE KITTRELL m f M WmL. w m % ■ . - Fumble A valiant effort by the Lions football team and Coach Wayne Grubb just wasn ' t enough We just beat ourselves, said Coach Wayne Grubb about his 1986 football team. Coach Grubb said that looking back on our football season, we were our own worst enemy. This year was definitely not the year of the Lions, but maybe because of this year the Lions will come back stronger than ever for a tremendous 1987 football season. The main problem this year was injuries— we just have too many injuries. During the season at one point we had 18 players out due to injuries. The players we lost were key players to the team. Timmy Smith, the defensive leader, and Charles Johnson, the offen- sive leader, were both out due to injuries. With two leaders out, the team just kind of fell apart. As a result of this we were never able to regroup as the season went along, said Coach Grubb. The players could never really reach a point where they could play with confi- By Wade Myhan dence. They just kept wondering and guessing what would happen, and hoped that someone would make a decision on what to do. But that decision just never came along. Although this was a dismal year, this was the first really bad year in the past 10 years that Coach Wayne Grubb has been here. For awhile at least — for the past nine years— the players as well as the coach- ing staff thought they could win the game just by showing up. With this attitude it could have gotten the Lions in somewhat of a rut that maybe can be straightened out for the ' 87 season. The attitudes of the fans also have a sig- nificant impact on the performances of the players. Perhaps with a little more support from the fans and even a full student sec- tion of the stadium, the Lions coulld get a gigantic, much needed boost of encouragement.

Although the losing season was disap- pointing for the Lions, most of the players believe the season will help during the long run. I think we all have the determina- tion and drive to improve, junior Quar- terback Lonnie Misteer said. We want to improve and we all know we ' re a better football team than we showed this season. We found out a lot about ourselves this season. Freshman fullback Morris Turrell, who became the first freshman to rush for over 200 yards in one game, said the season really helped us to understand what we ' ll have to do to have a big 1987 season. Tur- rell carried the ball against West Georgia 17 times for 201 yards and a touchdown. Turrell combined with junior tailback Marvin Marsh, who had 105 yards on 21 carries and two touchdowns for 306 yards. It was the first time two UNA backs have each gained over 100 yards since last year ' s regular season finale against Val- dosta when Charles Johnson and Glenn Ivy each had over 100 yards. If there was a good side to the 37-35 loss to West Georgia it was the running of Turrell and Marsh .

UNA finished the season 4-7 with a disappoint- ing season finale loss of 24-7 to Valdosta. With the return of our veteran players— including running backs Marvin Marsh, Larry Webb, and Morris Turrell, and the returning quarterback squad, the punter and field goal kicker— Coach Grubb could be right.

Time Out The men ' s basketball team uses their season to restore a winning tradition By Mollis H. McCutchen Coach Bill Jones was confident that his team would find success during the 1986- 87 season, despite the talented teams they were scheduled to play. As always, the Gulf South Conference was a competitive one, with four of the nine teams ranked in the top twenty at one point. According to Jones, every conference game was a battle to stay in one of the top four places in the standings to receive an invitation to the post-season tournament. There ' s a magic number of 20 in this league, he said, and if you don ' t win the conference, you ' d better finish in the top four with twenty wins to be considered for the NCAA and GSC tournaments. There were nine lettermen who returned to play this year, joined by two red -shirts and one transfer. The Lions found the depth they needed in their bench, which outscored the starting players through mid-season. All the players took turns leading the team to victory, with junior Luther Tiggs leading the conference in assists, while sophomore Steve Martin led in scoring in 6 of the first 13 games. Other players stepped forward, including senior Robert Tamp Harris in the win at Mississippi College. The two freshman red-shirts, Greg Armstead and Todd Markham, came off the bench to contribute in several wins, as did Sherman Wyckoff, a transfer from Lee Junior College in Texas. According to Jones, playing in the GSC can be a surprising experience for new players who are not used to the intensity of the competition. Even Wyckoff was sur- prised by the toughness of the teams the Lions have faced, but Jones said, He ' s seen some of it now and I think he ' s a better player as a result. The Lions had little trouble with their first five opponents, winning by an aver- age margin of 30 points. Their first loss was to Auburn-Montgomery, a Division I school. Until that night, the team was shooting an average of 56% from the floor. Coach Jones credits that loss to poor shooting, as the Lions shot only 34% that night. After the loss in Montgomery, the Lions recorde another string of wins, with seven victories in a row— defeating Alabama- Huntsville, Athens State, Simpson Col- lege, Delta State, Livingston and Missis- sippi College twice. The Lions had started the season by winning 13 of their first 14 games, before losing at Tennessee-Martin, their first GSC loss. Having lost at UT-Martin for the last five years, Coach Jones decided to try something different this year by having the team leave a day early for the game. This didn ' t help, as the team shot only 31% from the floor that night, compared to their average of 52%.

Time Out . . . (Cont. from page 232) No one player stepped forward to lead the others that night, and Jones believes this contributed to their losing, along with Martin ' s tough defense which he believes was the best the Lions had faced. The Lions made up for the Tennessee- Martin loss by beating Alabama-Huntsville 104-68, an accomplishment which the coaching staff thought impossible. Jones, having looked at the second half of their schedule, decided that the team had no chance at scoring 100 points against any of their upcoming opponents and remarked that he would buy steak dinners for the players if they could reach the cen- tury mark. Late in the second half of the UAH game, Todd Markham hit a free throw that pushed the score to 100 and looked to the bench, saying, That ' s for you, Coach. On January 19, the Lions faced West Georgia College, a team that was ranked fifth in the country. It was expected to be a battle to determine the leader in the con- ference as well as affect the teams ' rankings. The Lions, playing before a capacity crowd that filled Flowers Hall, challenged the Braves, but fell 84-86 to the talented visitors. Jones gave credit to the West Georgia team for its strength and determi- nation, but he also noticed that something was missing for the Lions. The players seemed to have gotten caught up in the passion displayed by the fans and hadn ' t been able to settle down and concentrate on playing. This season has indeed been one in which the sixth man has played an important role. The fans, especially the student body, have been able to lift the Lions when they needed a boost and have faithfully returned game after game. With a record of 159-29 since Bill Jones has been here, the Lions have definitely had an advantage on the home floor, and Jones believes the fans have been instrumental in this.

(Cont. from page 235) The West Georgia game was followed by a disappointing loss at Jacksonville State 87-76. The Lions were unable to stop the Gamecocks ' powerful inside game and were also out-rebounded 40-27. However, the Lions returned home to win over Livingston, holding off a late rally by the Tigers. The Lions, faltering at the beginning of the game, were able to keep the lead and win 69-66. On January 29 Auburn-Montgomery arrived looking to defeat the Lions a second time in the season, but was upset 68-54. The Lions, playing tenacious defense, forced 22 turnovers from the Senators, who shot only 46 percent from the field. Hoping to upset conference leader West Georgia, the Lions travelled to Carrollton, Ga. UNA played well throughout most of the game, but the final minutes were to determine the winner. West Georgia kept its winning streak, the longest in Division II, by a 106-93 margin. UNA followed this with an 81-76 win over Troy State and an 84-72 loss to Val- dosta State. Tennessee-Martin again defeated the Lions— this time at home, 76- 69, making it the 10th victory out of 11 games against UNA for the Pacers. Despite the recent losses, the Lions were still in the race for the conference tournament and improved their confer- ence record with a 63-62 defeat of Jack- sonville State. An 83-77 loss to Troy State seemed to have lessened UNA ' s chances to compete in the conference tournament. The Lions, rather than giving up, came back to defeat Valdosta State 86-66, and gained some much-needed momentum just before the tournament. A controversial game at Delta State ended the Lions ' regular season schedule, with UNA losing 77-76 in overtime. This loss seemed to make UNA ' s chances of getting into the tournament minimal, but Valdosta State ' s loss to Jacksonville Sate assured UNA of a fourth-place spot in the conference standings and a berth in the tournament. UNA faced West Georgia in the tour- nament at Carrollton in what was to be an easy win for the Braves. The Lions played poorly in the beginning of the game, but began a comeback that fell too short and ended in a 91-79 loss. UNA ended its season with a record of 18-10, just short of the magic number of 20 wins. There was no NCAA tournament invitation this year, but with the talented players returning for the ' 87- ' 88 season, perhaps there will be one in the near future. TAMP HARRIS, with his great leaping abil- ity and tremendous speed, is one of the top defensive players in the Gulf South Confer- ence. The 5 ' 10 senior from Huntsville is also an excellent shooter under pressure. 236 MOLLIE H. McCUTCHEN L TAKING ADVANTAGE of an opening. Buck Williams passes the ball to teammate Anthony Reid. STAYING ON his man, Luther Tiggs closely guards the Southern University-New Orleans player. MOLLIE H.McCUTCHEN Basketball 237 Jump Ball The Lady Lions basketball team put up a terrific struggle to gain a winning season The opening of the Lady Lions basket- ball season found Coach Wayne Byrd filled with high expectations. He wanted this to be the year of the Lions. But the season just didn ' t produce the needed scores to achieve a winning season. Perhaps the main reasons for the slow season were injuries among the players and a hint of this not really being a hustling year. This season could argua- bly be the toughest for Coach Byrd, who has established himself as a winning coach for the last 16 years in his position as a coach and his fifth year with the Lady Lions. Coach Byrd has never had a losing season and has compiled a record of 326- 126 overall. With having three freshmen coming in along with six Junior College transfers, maturity was a determining factor in the season. Certainly starting out in a new environment had some adverse affect on the team ' s overall performance. Another problem was size. According to Coach Byrd, the Lady Lions don ' t By Wade Myhan have any big players that are comparable to the size of other teams. The Lady Lions started their season with a win over Blue Mountain, 70-59, and went on to beat Freed-Hardeman, 77- 65, for their second game of the season. But problems arose for the third game and it ended with a loss to David Lip- scomb, 58-59. The Lady Lions slipped 0- 2 for the GSC in the game against Living- ston College with a score of 81-89. Despite the loss, the Livingston game was one of the best the Lady Lions played. They played a tough game and controlled the game the entire first half with a 49-46 lead at half-time. The Lady Lion defense kept the Lady Tigers confused through most of the game, but Livingston managed to pull away with a close victory. Leigh Bennett was the top player of the game with 17 points before fouling out late in the game. Robin Parsons added 12 while Cindi Carr got 11 and Cherie Epperson and Teenia Harris both had 10. Linda Liggins added nine.

The Lady Lions defeated the Missis- sippi team 85-83 in overtime on January 22. Jump Ball . . . (Cont. from page 238) The next Saturday saw the Lady Lions continuing their struggle in Gulf South Conference play against Jacksonville, but the Lady Gamecocks pulled out an 86-77 win. Jacksonville gained an early lead and kept it throughout the first and second halves, though Linda Liggins and Cindi Carr scored a respective 32 and 16 points for the Lady Lions. Travelling to Columbus, Mississippi, bad luck continued to plague the Lady Lions. UNA fell behind during the first half and was never able to recover as the Mississippi University for Women claimed a 74-62 vic- tory. Melissa Pierce narrowed the margin with two free throws as time expired, but not enough to keep the Blues from win- ning the contest. Pierce led the scoring effort with 15 points, followed by Cynthia Forsythe with 13 and Leigh Bennett with nine. In their next game, the Lady Lions fell behind midway through and was unable to stop an 85-78 loss to Troy State. In their fourth consecutive road game, UNA took an early lead. The Lady Trojans then took a 24-19 lead with 8:52 remaining in the half. The second half saw a 56-56 tie, but Troy State shortly grabbed the lead and kept it until the end of the game. Major scorers were Cindy Carr with 20 points, Robin Parsons with 13, Teenia Harris with 12 and Melissa Pierce with 10. February 9 saw another loss for the team— this one against Valdosta State. A 108-77 loss for the Lady Lions occurred as the Lady Blazers took over shortly after the second half. For the Lady Lions, Cindi Carr scored a career-high 36 points to lead in scoring. Linda Liggins scored 23. After a series of losses, the Lady Lions came back with a trio of home wins against UT-Martin, Jacksonville State and Troy State. The Lady Lions defeated the Lady Pacers of UT-Martin 79-77 with a jump shot rebounded by Linda Liggins, high scorer for the game with 28 points. Cindi Carr scored 26, Robin Parsons tossed in 13 In the Jacksonville State game the Lady Lions played their finest game of the season, winning it 90-71. Coach Wayne Byrd substituted freely during the last part of the game so every player could see action against the Lady Gamecocks. Teenia Harris tossed in a season-high 23 points, followed by Cindi Carr with 18, Linda Liggins with 15, Robin Parsons with 11 and Melissa Pierce with 10. Troy State lost 83-77 in their try for vic- tory. The Lady Lions led going into the second half, during which they traded baskets with the Lady Trojans until a three- point goal by Teenia Harris gave the Lions a 70-66 lead. The Trojans were forced to foul in the final minutes to no avail. The Lady Lions concluded their final regular season home schedule February 19 against the Valdosta State Lady Blazers with a 60-69 loss. They finished their season with another loss of 66-86 to Delta State. The Lady Statesmen, from Cleveland, Mississippi, were the number- onne ranked team in the Gulf South Con- ference.

JOHNSON WS Nelson Graves does hi part to help with the Greek Life Growing by leaps and bounds by Michelle Stumpe The campus didn ' t stand a chance against them. They attacked in droves, in the guise of Vikings, bunnies, and islanders. Every campus event was raided. Awards were taken, places won. Still they have persisted. Unity and brotherhood are their goals, and they refuse to stop until these goals have been reached. While they ' ve grown in brotherhood and unity, the Greeks have also grown in numbers. Pledge classes have been the largest in years. And as if the increase in numbers weren ' t enough, yet another group (Sigma Alpha Epsilon) is petitioning for a charter. Though still a minority on campus, Greeks provide a majority of entertainment and community services. A weekend doesn ' t go by without a Greek-sponsored party or fundraiser being held. These events aren ' t necessarily closed to non- Greeks. Some groups had booths at the fair, working with the community to raise money. Other groups work with local social organizations to raise money for under- privileged children. While some events are eagerly awaited and well-advertised, others are held quietly, well away from campus. In all cases, unity and friendship prevail. In a conscious effort to promote unity among all campus Greeks, the 1FC and Panhellenic hold workshops. These provide opportunities for each group to analyze their achievement and goals in respect to the other groups. Workshops are also essential to the planning of rush. Efficient planning and cooperation has resulted in very successful rushes. Brotherhood, friendship, unity and growth— these are the goals of the Greeks on campus.

Ipha Tau Omega Vikings invade campus by Cherie Garner The word Viking con- jures up images of red-haired warriors in pointy hats and robust damsels with milk- white skin— but on campus Viking means something altogether different. Each year the Theta Eta chapter of Alpha Tau Omega has Viking Week. The event is sponsored by ATO and consists of different contests in which the sorori- ties can participate. This year Alpha Gamma Delta won the banner com- petition. Alpha Delta Pi won the clue-by-clue Search for the Holy Grail. (It was in Wild wood Park.) The festivities for the week peaked on Saturday when the ATOs in full viking war gear raided Braly Municipal Stadium. After the football game, the motley band of warriors travelled back to their dwelling on the hill to party. They were joined by another band of Viking warriors— these from the ATO chapter at University of Alabama-Hunts ville . The fraternity has been on the move this year by giving their time freely to local and national charities. At the beginning of the year, the ATOs sponsored a dunking booth at the North Alabama State Fair and raised over $1500 for the Muscle Shoals Kidney Dialysis Emergency Fund. In October the ATOs co- sponsored with Zeta Tau Alpha sorority a Halloween party for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Muscle Shoals. The guests enjoyed the food, games, and ghost stories. In November, ATO showed its helpful spirit by participating in the Big Brothers Big Sisters Love Bowl and donated money to the United Way. For the ATO Help Week project, the pledges sold raffle tickets to raise money for Safeplace, a home for bat- tered wives and children, and also did yardwork for Safeplace.

The emaining girls who were ucky enough to escape cap- ture, were at a loss. What Buld they do? The Fijis had truck again unmercifully. Well, it wasn ' t that bad. [Tie screams were really just .queals and the kicks were jnly half-hearted. The lemanded ransom was lardly difficult to accumulate, [ he crudest act inflicted upon he prisoners was their orce-feeding of pizza by their aptors. (Okay, so they weren ' t force-fed.) The raid was actually a undraising event held by the : ijis. Each ransom was for 15 :ans of food which was then ionated to the March of Dimes. Protests were few Tom the captured girls. After ill, they spent an afternoon jvith the Fijis and ate pizza. The enthusiasm displayed )y the Fijis in their attack is ust an example of their Greek spirit. Their annual Fiji sland Party is certainly snother. This year ' s festivities uere held in April at the Vluscle Shoals Fairground. The party, co-sponsored by 103.3 FM translator 1.95, was i definite success. Three live sands, Radio Tokyo, Miragis, and Primal Screams kept the party rocking with a variety of their latest music. The formal, which took place at Ft. Walton Beach, was the largest in Fiji history. Approximately 42 couples were present to make the formal a huge success. Fiji showed their campus involvement once again by participating in the Homecoming festivities. The Fiji pledges, who were dressed in the traditional Homecoming attire of grass skirts and purple paint, paid homage to the festivities by dancing enthusiastically around the huge bonfire at the Homecoming pep rally. The pledges then showed their spirit by chanting and cheering along with the crowd, displaying their respect for their fraternity, as well as their school. Their enthusiasm is again apparent in the Fijis commu- nity service. On October 25, Fijis biked from Madison Square Mall in Huntsville to their fraternity house in Flor- ence, in the March of Dimes Bike-A-Thon. The proceeds— almost $2000— were donated to the Lauder- dale County branch of the March of Dimes. Another of the Fijis ' serv- ices to the community is the Halloween party and Easter egg hunt they arrange for the children of Kilby School. These events proved to be delightful for the children and gratifying for the Fijis. The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity has also gained suc- cess by achieving the superior scholastic average on campus. They were also the recipients of the Chapter Proficiency Award at their National Convention this year. Therefore, the Phi Gamma Delta ' s of UNA are the perfect example of brotherhood. They are an organization of individuals working together to better themselves, their community, and their campus. Out of all the Kappa Sigma ' s activities the most exciting was the annual Bahama Mama Party. To complete the house decora- tions, a bamboo fence was put around the yard. Bands performed and a new Bahama Mama was elected for 1986. A senior member of Kappa Sigma said, It was great! I was really pleased at the turnout. There were over 500 people there, and it was by far the biggest party our campus has ever seen. The fraternity ' s formal was held in Nashville, at the Hyatt House, and the awards ban- quet was also held there. Student participation on campus activities has been strongly encouraged by the Kappa Sigs. ONE OF THE FIRST HOUSES on fraternity row was the Kappa Sigma house.

Funds raised during the fall semester will help pay for their new house which will be built next spring on Greek Row. Instead of the white-columned, Colonial designed homes now seen on Greek Row, the Sigma Chis have chosen a more tradi- tional country design for their new home. For now, though, their meetings are being held at the Wesley Foundation. The absence of a house hasn ' t dampened their spirits or brotherhood. This was quite apparent during Spring Fling and Step Sing when they captured the first place prize. Their competitiveness was still going strong when they placed second in Fall Fling. While the Sigma Chis are ranking in campus competi- tion, they are also making headway in campus leader- ship. Among the brothers are members of SGA, SAB, ODK, IFC, the Ambassadors and the Ushers Club. Also, Greg Engle was elected Greek Man of the Year. Sigma Chi is also involved in campus and community service. Three nights a week the brothers offer an escort service to see women safely from the library to their cars or to the dorm. Other serv- ices include raising money for the Northwest Alabama Rehabilitation Center and taking underpriviledged chil- dren trick-or-treating on Halloween.

The sisters of ADPi also leld a windshield wipe for acuity. Windex and paper owels in hand, groups went iround to the faculty parking ots and cleaned windshields. ADPi was active in campus ictivities. They received third olace overall in Fall Fling, and dso placed in many events at he Sigma Chi Derby Days. As well as working with the ampus community, ADPi tlso raises funds for their lational Philanthropy, tonald McDonald House. Some of the fundraisers were a bake sale, trick-or-treating at Halloween, and a car wash. All of the sisters had great fun as they sponsored an Easter Egg Hunt for under- priviledged children at McFarland Park. It was a big success and the children really loved it. By working together in these many events, ADPi has accomplished the goals of their sorority. Together, as friends, they have bonded together to fulfill obligations to both community and campus. The Alpha Gamma Delta sorority really proved their unity this year as they stood together to win many of the competition events that are held on campus. Winning the Sigma Chi Derby Days was among one of their greatest honors. In the Greek Day Banner com- petition, they won second place. Also, the sisters placed second in the ATO- sponsored Viking Week com- petition . Alpha Gam was very proud as member Cindy Wal- drep was chosen among the Homecoming Court and was runner-up for Sigma Chi Derby Darling. Other than activities that require competition, the Alpha Gams also held many social events. The newest of these was the Crush Party, which was a big success. Another party was the Champagne Jam which is a traditional party held every year.

Alpha Kappa Alpha has lad problems having weekly meetings since O ' Neal Hall A as razed during the iummer. Since they have had no permanent place to meet, the group has had to meet in the library and a local church. The most important aspect of Alpha Phi Alpha is unity. The purpose of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity is to establish brotherhood, maintain aca- demic excellence, and to help others. Their national philanthro- pies are the United Way and the United Negro College Fund. They volunteer and help the local boy scouts and hold fundraisers for the underprivileged children in local neighborhoods. Each year Alpha Phi Alpha sponsors a blood drive and a cerebral palsy fund drive. Alpha Phi Alpha also sponsors the Miss Black and Gold Pageant— this year Sonya Loveless was crowned the winner. They also sponsor Alpha Human Relations Week each April to familiarize students with the heritage of the frater- nity. During Alpha Human Relations Week, a display is shown in the Student Union Building, and a movie is shown at the Media Center about the origin of the fraternity. Also during the week, different fraternities partici- pate in the Greek Show sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha. The Greek Show is a step contest in which frater- nities perform a variety of steps and are judged on pre- cision, unity, and originality. At the end of the week, members and sweethearts had a swim party and a picnic.

Dorm life, said member aige Faulkner, has nhanced sorority life reatly. A better chance of orking together is provided hen the girls can live sgether. Living in the sorority dorm Iso provides a chance for ach girl to mature and evelop her potentials. As ' hi Mu ' s function is to develop the personal poten- tials of each member, the dorm has been quite benefi- cial to the sorority. Delta Sigma Theta ' s annual Mr. Debonair Contest was a big success. Each spring the body beautiful con- test for men is held. Par- ticipants model swimwear, sportswear, and formal wear. They are judged by a panel composed of people in differ- ent fields from the community. Mr. Debonair and the runners-up receive trophies, cash, and prizes. One member of Delta Sigma Theta said, Each year the Mr. Debonair contest grows. It is fast becoming an event that the young ladies on campus look forward to. Even though they partici- pate in many social activities the sisters refer to themselves as a community service sorority— not just a social sorority. They work to improve the community in which we live by helping others. They also strongly believe in the true bond of sis- terhood. The Panhellenic Council is taking the growth of the Greek system off campus, encouraging high school seniors to consider Greek futures. A party for area high school senior grads was spon- sored in the spring. While promoting the Greek system, the council gave the girls a chance to familiarize them- selves with the sororities. In addition to promoting growth, the council fosters unity, scholarship, service, and social programs. The coordination of spring and fall rush is also handled by the Panhellenic Council. Com- posed of members elected from each sorority, the coun- cil meets twice a month in Rogers Hall. The Panhellenic Council also sponsors an Easter Egg Hunt in April and a Christmas party in December for under- privileged children. At the Christmas party each sorority is responsible for the enter- tainment. This year Zeta Tau Alpha did crafts with the children. Alpha Delta Pi read a story and gave refreshments, Alpha Gamma Delta sang Christmas carols, and Phi Mu had Santa Claus to surprise the children and give them gifts.

The workshop was held September 26 and 27, and also featured David Ray, a national representative from Sigma Chi, and Lucretia Foster, who advised the fraternity members on their liability. The sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha kept their winning tra- dition this year in the Miss UNA pageant as Zeta ' s Cissy Ashley gave her title over to sorority sister DeLon Smith. Zeta performed their annual Greek Treat which is held every October for the fraternities on campus. The Zetas performed skits while their pledges (dressed as bun- nies) handed out cigars. The highlight of the evening was Miss UNA DeLon Smith ' s singing performance. Homecoming was another big event for Zeta. Tina Pierce, nominated by Zeta, was elected homecoming queen, and DeLon Smith was elected to be in the court. Christmas was a special time for Zeta. The sisters and their big brothers got together at their yearly Christmas party to exchange gifts. We all loved it, said senior member Wanda Staton. It was a great time as the sisters got together to share the spirit of Christmas. In their efforts to promote Greek development and growth, the Interfraternity Council found themselves in the midst of the largest Greek rush in years. Fraternities pledged more new members this fall than they had in the past three years. Growth is not the only goal the IFC achieved. Both leadership and unity were gained in their Leadership Workshop. The first of its kind in ten years, the work- shop provided an opportu- nity for Greek men and their fraternity nationals to come together to promote leader- ship and unity within the Greek system. Keeping fraternities in line may sound like a difficult job. The IFC has had little trouble, however, this year. Their main concern has been insuring the policy of Dry Rush is being followed. During Rush parties IFC patrols check for the presence of alcoholic beverages. So far, fraternities are living up to IFC policy. With the IFC keeping fraternities in line and pro- tecting them from possible trouble, Greek life has expanded. The encourage- ment of education and leadership has increased campus awareness of Greeks. With the guidance of the Interfraternity Counc Greek life is growing. Sigma Alpha Epsilon, relatively new group c campus, was organized May. As of now, SAE has n been formally accepted the university and is con: dered to be an interest grot because they have not y colonized.

The American Chemical Society Student Affiliates organization is open to all chemistry students. It serves to increase students ' knowledge of chemistry and the chemistry professions. It also serves the community by sponsoring seminars on topics of public concern. In the spring, they tested 387 high school students at 16 local high schools for knowledge of chemistry and then co-sponsored an awards banquet to honor outstanding students. The club also organized a symposium on the nuclear winter effect. It began with a film entitled The Effects of Nuclear Petonations and was followed by a panel dis- cussion. The Student Nurses Association contributes to nursing education, provides students with pertinent infor- mation, and aids in develop- ing the whole person who can promote health in society. Their most significant achievement, according to Vice President Tonya Hollis, was sending officers to the national convention. They have also raised money for the Students Nurses Associ- ation philanthropy. Beta Beta Beta is the only national honorary biological society strictly dedicated to promoting undergraduate majors in biology. Some of Tri Beta ' s accom- plishments include starting a biology scholarship fund for a new college student plan- ning to major in biology, and sending several members to the national convention in New Orleans. Some of their other activi- ties include selling programs at home football games, and raising tomato plants of several varieties in the green- house and selling them as a fund-raiser. The Society of Physics Students try to promote con- tinued interest in physics and spread physics awareness on campus. It also supports graduating members by assisting them in gaining employment. In the spring, several members went to Russellville for a Doppler radar demon- stration which showed the latest in weather detection equipment. This year they hope to present a computer graphics show and possibly a laser show.

With members hailing from as far south as Florida and as far west as Arizona, the Pride of Dixie Marching Band paraded its high enter- tainment standards in exem- plary style once again. Having played at all home games during the regular football season as an exam- ple of remarkable showman- ship, the band went on to play two spring concerts featuring a host of selections performed with a degree of vitality that had audiences on their feet with unprecedented enthusiasm. Doubtless one of the most attractive aspects of the band to incoming freshmen or transfer students is the moun- tain of benefits that accom- pany membership. Each member chosen to perform in the marching band or concert band receives a full tuition scholarship and waiver of out-of-state fees or a one-half or one-fourth scholarship award. In addition, these are awarded without regard to academic major, and may be combined with other grants to aid financially. Other benefits offered students include con- structive use of free time, other performing opportuni- ties and association with other talented individuals. Aside form the two previ- ously described groups, audi- tions were held for a Jazz Band and Percussion, Wood- wind, and Brass Ensemble. The Jazz Band played in Decatur in February for a group of middle-school stu- dents in a recruiting effort that reached out to area high schools as well as to promote an interest in collegiate band music. However, the Pride of Dixie Marching Band received one of its highest honors when it was invited to play in Governor-elect Guy Hunt ' s inaugural parade, held in Montgomery in Janu- ary. And, with over 130 stu- dents, the 1987 edition of the elite musicale performed with well-rehearsed efficiency. According to Band Direc- tor Edd Jones, the band ' s main strength was student leadership. He said, When it ' s all said and done, it ' s the students who get out and do it. Jones added, This is the most active organization on campus. The students also admire Jones for his professional atti- tude. Lionette Samantha Alvis said, He is really ous about the ban dedicated.

The SGA provides a vari- :ety of different services for students, such as: refrigerator rentals to students who live on campus; student directo- ries and handbooks; a jumper cable service; an insurance program; and a leadership scholarship of $500. The biggest change that will take place in the SGA this year, Sisson said, is that the Student Activities Board will be incorporated into the SGA. It will be combined with the House of Representatives and they will serve as a divi- sion of the SGA. It will serve tie same function as it did before, but it will now be jnder the rules and regula- tions of the SGA. A new project that was started this year, one that will )ecome an annual event, is he homecoming breakfast. Ml former SGA presidents were invited back during lomecoming festivities for a ireakfast reception. The most important aspect of the Young Democrats is to promote interest in the Democratic party. The Young Democrats actively participated in the campaign of U.S. Senate candidate Richard Shelby and hosted a reception for him in the spring. To become a member, one must have a strong interest in politics and the Democratic Party. Faculty adviser is Dr. Frank Mallonee. The College Republi- cans provides a club for stu- dent Republicans who want to work in Republican politics in the county and state, said John Powers, adviser. The College Republicans were actively involved in the campaigns for Senate and Governor. They volunteered their time by mailing political materials and making phone calls for candidates. They also keep in close contact with the larger College Republican clubs from Alabama and Auburn and often invited representatives from these clubs to their meetings. The group ' s biggest accomplishment, according to Powers, was hosting a reception for gubernatorial nominee Guy Hunt in the spring. The Student Activities Board provides social, cul- tural, and intellectual activities and programs for the univer- sity and community. The primary goal of the SAB is to provide the highest qual- ity entertainment at the lowest possible price, Bob Glenn, adviser said. The SAB sponsors a majority of the activities that take place on campus. They include: Fall Fling; Spring Fling; the Miss UNA pageant; Step Sing; and at least one concert per semester. This spring, the SAB was respon- sible for Fall Fling, the Producers concert, and the Lewis Grizzard concert. Events for fall included the New York Laff Off, which featured professional come- dians as well as local talent, and concerts by The Producers and Otis Day and the Knights. According to Glenn, the SAB discovered that it lacked connectiveness with the stu- dent body. So, in order to communicate better with the student body and find what they want, the SAB will unite with the House of Represen- tatives in the spring and become a part of the SGA.

Celebrating its fiftieth anniversary on campus, Sigma Tau Delta, the National English Honor Soci- ety has undergone changes, including a new club sponsor. Lindsey Strickland, who devoted 22 years to the organization, retired this year and was honored at the group ' s spring initiation. Jean Johnson is the club ' s new sponsor. Johnson said the club is growing and now has 35 members. Sigma Tau Delta celebrated turning 50 with a campus-wide birthday party in February, complete with balloons, soft drinks, cake and flowers. The party not only educated students about the club but also increased club membership. Continuing a tradition of significant achievement, the club was represented in The Rectangle, the official journal of Sigma Tau Delta. The semi-annual publication con- tained two short stories by students in the fall issue. The group has many plans for the coming year, among them establishing the Lindsey Strickland Silver Pen Award for the best freshman English research paper and a dinner for members and English Department faculty in con- junction with spring initiation. A dedication to promoting mastery of written expression and literary reading are the goals of the English Club. The club sponsored a used book sale this year, along with co-sponsoring Lights and Shadows, the Univer- sity ' s national award-winning literary art magazine. The English Club also strives to encourage worth- while reading and forging a spirit of fellowship among stu- dents specializing in English. A Christmas party at the home of club adviser, Paul E. Jones III and Dia De Campo highlighted the Spanish Club ' s activities this year. Dia De Campo was held at Wilson Lake and featured a cookout, sailing, skiing, volleyball and Softball. The Spanish Club showed a marked increase in mem- bers, which was one of the group ' s main accomplish- ments. The organization also obtained a collection of job resources to aid Spanish stu- dents in job placement. The French Club is dedi- cated to promoting the French language and culture. The establishment of a sense of fellowship among its 30 members is one of the mai aspects of the club. The development of video library of Frenc movies and promotin interest and aid in student knowledge of French are th group ' s main goals. The cli developed a weekly prograi and participated homecoming festivities, well as competing against tf Spanish Club in a soco game.

Dr. •bbott says that one main urpose for this organization to provide each member ■ith professional evelopment. The SHEA members •orked very hard to present utrition lessons at senior tizen centers. They assisted te Department of Home conomics faculty members y visiting area high schools nd recruiting students and they also presented programs about home economics to the school students. Each member got fitted with a Halloween costume for the Halloween bake sale. The members were kept busy by making fruit baskets for resi- dents of local nursing homes. The members also attended the Alabama Home Economics Association meet- ing on the campus of the University of Alabama in March. They took part in the meeting arrangements for the Alabama Home Economics state meeting by providing discussion questions to be used in the student section meeting. The SHEA presented a BBQ at McFarland Park in September for the new mem- bers in the Home Economics departments. Interestingly they visited a local herb garden and attended an herb cooking lessons given by a gourmet cook. Kappa Omicron Phi is an honorary home economics organization. Dr. Jean Dunn, sponsor of KOPhi, says that the purpose of this organiza- tion is to further the interest of home economics, by recognizing and encouraging scholastic excellence, developing leadership and interest, and promoting fel- lowship among faculty and students of the home eco- nomics profession. The KOPhi organization has several major goals that include funding and encouraging scholarships, promoting leadership in home economics, and shar- ing computer programs on careers in home economics with high school students. KOPhi also attended a Christmas bazaar in which they made a Christmas tree and home-made ornaments. The tree looked so good that a man actually wanted to buy the tree from them. In February, the members sold 8 heart-shaped cookies with customized valentine messages. In order to be considered for membership in KOPhi, applicants must be second semester sophomore; must be in the upper 35 percent of the institution; must have an index of not less than a B average in home economics; must have a 2.0 overall GPA; must have at least eight hours of home economics. There ' s no doubt they ' re the best-dressed group on campus. But Fashion Forum is not only concerned with appear- ances. They are active not only in promoting their own interests, but in helping out other groups as well. We made the costumes for A Chorus Line, said Phillip Remke, Fashion Forum President. We did it in less than two weeks. The group also held a fashion show at the Ritz Theatre in which the pro- ceeds went to their scholar- ship fund. The theme of the show was ' Hot Tropics ' and it was a spectacular success, said Remke. A trip was also given away to the Bahamas. Fashion Forum hopes to continue their support of fashion merchandising and interior design by travelling to Atlanta and New York City. AT A RIVERSIDE picnic table, students Kim Roberson and Jan Boykin help themselves to baked beans and barbeque.

BSU clowns can be seen each week in the pediatrics ward of Humana Hospital and Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital. While they are there, the clowns hand out helium balloons to all the patients to help cheer their day. Singing praises to Christ ' s name is a joy for the BSU ensemble. Not only do they perform for the local churches, they sang at the Baptist Student Convention in Birmingham the first weekend of November. The Wesley Foundation started the year with a Hawaiian luau running for three consecutive nights. The featured entertainers were Randy Lindsey with several of his guitar students, and Will McFarlane. There are signs of definite MOLLIE H. McCUTCHEN change occurring at Wesley. The most prominent change is the new director, Rev. Rod Morgan, known as Rod to the students. At first, the over-six-feet height may shock you, but his easy going manner, warm smile, and talkativeness will soon make you feel at home. The next phase of change at Wesley is the redecoration of the building, which has had the same furniture since it was built. The students are becoming actively involved in the plans for redecorating. They have set up a snack table in the office to help raise money. The profits are going to the redecoration fund to help purchase items needed to finish the project. The students also spon- sored a pancake breakfast with the proceeds going to the redecoration fund. A STAR-STUDDED approach is what the Alpha Omega Ministries took when they had a turn to paint the sidewalk in front of the amphitheatre. Security Officer David Maddox admires their artwork.

Those involved with the Christian Youth Center are preparing to move into their new center, 547 Oakview Circle, in March or April when the project is to be completed. It will be built as a residen- tial style house with a total of 10,000 square feet. It will have three levels: a base- ment, a main floor, and an unfinished apartment upstairs for possible future use as a residence for an assistant director, according to the present director Tim Stafford. The new center will cost approximately $450,000 when completed. Most of the money has come from local Churches of Christ in the area. The students have helped in the fund-raising effort by going out to local churches and speaking to the members. Their most important way of promoting the Christian Youth Center is through the Lifesingers. The Lifesingers are a group of approximately 60 students who are active in the CYO choir. They travel to different churches in the area to sing and speak. Even though the Catholic Campus Ministry sounc like a new group on campu it isn ' t. It ' s simply a new nan for the Newman Club. According to Preside) David Locker, The nan- Newman simply isn ' t idem fied as being Catholic an more. That ' s why we decide to change our name Catholic Campus Ministry The Catholic Campi Ministry is a group of Catho! students whose main goal to complete two seasons Renew. Renew is a time f the Church to come to kno itself better through se examination.

In its first full year as an rganization, ACM is striving i promote an interest in the arious fields of computer :ience — and, according to resident Mac Sparks, to give club members information on what it is like in the real world industry of computer science. Toward this end, the club supplies information to mem- bers on industry and educa- tional opportunities available to them. The club also spon- sored a field trip to a Super Computer workshop in Huntsville to check out the latest technological advances. The club is not only a local organization. The local ACM is working toward an affilia- tion with the national organi- zation, which will further broaden the network of sources for computer information.

Tradition- ally, these groups have had i membership which varied ittle from year to year. However, student interest in ;hese clubs has shown a ■narked increase recently. After a phenomenal growth in membership last , ear, Circle K shows no signs A slowing down. At the Dis- trict Circle K Convention, JNA ' s club won the Most mproved Club award and is xpected to be the best club n the state this year. Traveling to District in Mobile, the Leadership Development Conference in Tuscaloosa, hosting the Membership Education Rally n Sheffield and attending the yVH Conference in Gunters- ille, the local Circle K has mpressed other state clubs as J fun and dedicated rganization. Among the projects Circle ( has been involved in this ear were the Cerebral Palsy Telethon, Kiwanis Peanut Day, visiting children at Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital ind the North Alabama Christian Children ' s Home, ind helping the Red Cross with the El Salvador earth- quake relief effort. Spring commencement is lext on the list of activities for he Usher ' s Club. In addi- ion, they have performed ushering for fall commence- ment, the Muscle Shoals ' oncert Association, the ' A .C. Handy Festival and the -ollegiate Singers this year. Sponsor J. Nick Winn, III, aid the club, which formed in 1952, ushers for any important event having to do with the university, the city or civic groups. Members are Stephen Anderson, Monday Akpak- pan, Joel Bevis, Doug Brookman, Alan Bush, Neal Cantrell, Jeff Chandler, Todd Chastain, Jeff Cox, Chris Dobbs, James Edwards, Barry Gill, Jeff Henkey, Ter- ence Jenkins, Jeff Cavender, Danny Phillips, Kelly Rob- shaw, and Skylar Roth. In addition to university mem- bers, students from Coffee and Bradshaw High Schools furnish ushering services. The only requirement to join is to be a good represen- tative of UNA, Winn said. Alpha Sigma Lambda has had a variety of commu- nity activities this year, includ- ing help to needy families at Thanksgiving, filling up stock- ings for the Salvation Army and helping Safeplace, a home for abused women. The organization, which currently has 40 members and 20 pledges, is a service club dedicated to helping and supporting those in need of assistance. Each year the group has certain goals they hope to accomplish, espe- cially projects dealing with needy children. In addition to the commu- nity, Alpha Sigma Lambda also participates in campus- wide activities. Alpha Sigma Lambda officers for 86-87 are Kim Mabry, president; Dawanna Walker, vice president; Liz Tate and Karla Glover, secre- taries; Mary Niedergeses, treasurer; Rhonda Dennis, historian; and Madonna Wil- liams, chaplain. Club adviser is Lorraine Glasscock. One of the most significant achievements of the year for the Ambassadors and Golden Girls was to meet and host every major politi- cal candidate for state office as official hosts for the university-sponsored Cam- paign ' 86 talks. While on campus, each candidate had an assigned host to welcome him, show him around, and prepare him backstage for his turn to speak. In addition to Campaign ' 86, the group has raised money to repair Leo ' s travel trailer which was damaged last fall and hosted Leo ' s 13th birthday party on April 14, treating over 500 children to cake, cookies and juice. The Ambassadors and Golden Girls are the authorized spon- sors of Leo, the school mascot. As official hosts for Presi- dent ' s Receptions, athletic events and organizational events, members hosted a breakfast December 12 in conjunction with the NCAA Division II National Champi- onship football game at Braly Municipal Stadium on December 13, al so hosting the game. In addition, Golden Girls Connie Tucker, Molly Rutland and Jennifer Vickroy were selected as Ail- American Girls for the All- American Bowl in Bir- mingham. A symphony workshop for local school children was also hosted by the group. THE USHERS CLUB is responsible for seating at all university plays and other events in Norton Auditorium.

McCutcl Sociology Club SWO Geography Club Political Science Club History Club Members of the Sociology Club were busy with many events, including the Profes- sor ' s Presentation and the Southern Sociological Soci- ety Convention. Dr. Jerry L. DeGregory, associate professor of Sociol- ogy, was the featured faculty speaker this year. Dr. DeGregory shared his knowledge on the violence in Northern Ireland, a subject on which he has recently co- written a book. The Southern Sociological Society Convention, held in New Orleans, attracted many members of the Sociology Club. These students had the opportunity to hear a number of distinguished sociologists speak. The club members also took advantage of the famous atmosphere of New Orleans, enjoying themselves while obtaining an unforget- table educational experience. Other events featured by the Sociology Club were the Outdoor Extravaganza, held in September, and a session on career opportunities, held in October. Beverly Cheney, Director of Placement, was the guest speaker at the career session, providing information to future sociol- ogists about fields that require a strong background in sociology. The club members also assisted in hosting the annual meeting of the Alabama-Mississippi Socio- logical Association which took place in February in the Great Hall of the Student Union Building. Always eager for new members, the Sociology Club never fails to make its meet- ings eventful and educa- tional, while seeking to stimulate interest in areas of sociology. It is on the first Tuesday of each month that the members meet to discuss issues in sociology and the phenomena that are cons- tantly occuring around us. The Geography Club was also active this year, holding events on campus and taking two weekend trips. The members held an R.C. and Moon Pie party for students enrolled in Geography of the South and the annual 3-M Banquet. A homecoming display was constructed this fall, and the club placed third in the Spring Fling Scavenger Hunt, proving once again that this is a club that enjoys getting involved in activities on campus. In the fall, the Geography Club visited the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg, Tenn. The vibrant colors of the autumn foliage and the intrig- uing experience of learning how the distillery operates made the trip worthwhile to all who went. Later, the members held a Weekend Retreat at Oak Mountain State Park, near Birmingham. Here they par- ticipated in the annual meet- ing of the Alabama Geographers. The Geography Club is hoping to get more students involved in its activities in preparation for the Alabama Academy of Science meeting to be held in the spring. For those interested, regular meetings are held twice each semester at Wesleyan Hall. Helping ECM Hospital acquire SIDS monitors to save the lives of infants was the major achievement of the Social Work Organization this year. The organization welcomes all undergraduate social work majors and awarded many scholarships again this year. Club members seek to help social work students who desire to get involved in the community and to help them gain the experience that is necessary for them to fulfill the responsibilities of their chosen field. The Social Work Organi- zation had a bake sale to raise money for Social Work Day, held in March. Social Work Day was attended by many professional social workers from the area and was com- mended for its quality. Another Social Work Day is scheduled this spring, along with many other programs. A new professor was wel- comed to the Departmer Social Work at a recep organized by the SWO the Social Work Departm Dr. Murali Nair joined department this fall an expected to add much to program.

Organ actions 281 j i 1 ROBERT LAWLER Music Organizations Musically inclined students find home by Chrissie Shedd IPS, Collegiate Singers, and Tau Beta Sigma are among the university ' s music organizations. IPS (inches per second) consists of 10 active members of commercial music artists or any one interested in the music industry. Senior Bill Russell, presi- dent of IPS said, The pur- pose of IPS is to organize all of the commercial music stu- dents together and to prepare them for the music business. The Collegiate Singers provide service for the university, the community and students with their introduction to serious choral l; ' rature. have provided ; p in the Shoals choi . 20 years. We do many concerts each semester, ' said Director Joe Groom. Each year the Collegiate Singers sing at the Homecoming Alumni Brunch and they do the Mes- siah for Christmas with the community choir of 250 voices. Tau Beta Sigma consists of 9 members of the Pride of Dixie band. Applicants for membership must have a 1.0 average and a good character. The purpose of Tau Beta Sigma is to promote the band and to provide a worthwhile social experience for the band and band director, Edd Jones. On November 24, Tau Beta Sigma sponsored the band ' s Thanksgiving and honors banquet. The most outstanding new and regular members were recognized at the banquet. The most outstanding new member was a sophomore, Terry Ownby; the most out- standing member was a junior, Gen-Gen Martin, drum major. Also at the ban- quet, Joe Wallace, director of University Events, was recog- nized for nine years of serv- ice for making the announcements of the band at the half-time performances at the football games. Tau Beta Sigma also pub- lishes the band newsletter and prepares welcome par- ties for the new members. Tau Beta Sigma won second place in the egg- tossing contest in the Spring Fling and third place in the pizza eating contest in the fall. Tau Beta Sigma won the national service award as the first chapter in the nation to pay off their chapter fee. Wendy Kyle, president of Tau Beta Sigma said, We are a service sorority not a social sorority. We are dedi- cated to serving the band. THE HOTEL DESK CLERK Bernie (played by Brett Davis) seems immune to the pleas of Celeste Delacroix Griffin (Elizabeth Ragsdale), his tenant of dubious morality.

The fall production owever, was only one of eir projects for the year. In ddition, the group partici- ates in the Spring Produc- ons. the One-Act Play estival, SOAR and commu- ity plays. Their activities for lis year have included put- ng together the SOAR -abaret, performing in two ariety shows at the Fogcut- t and directing and acting in lays at the Ritz and Zodiac leatres. Although it is a club for leatre majors, Alpha Psi •mega tries to support all the ■ts. President Mitch Florer aid, We would like to do tore on campus, but the ays take up so much time. lans are underway for the oup to possibly be involved Spring Fling and other liversity events. The club is also discussed performing lays at the Memorial Amphitheatre as a future project. Where is the Cinema Society this year? is a ques- tion student movie buffs have been asking. The organiza- tion, faculty-sponsored for the last few years, temporar- ily ceased to exist until a group of concerned students decided to do something about it. Dr. Thomas Osborne, club sponsor, said, It became less of a student club and more like me showing pictures to my friends. As a result of an increase in student interest in the club, the Cinema Society will be back. The Student Activities Board will now be financing the club, and once again stu- dents will be able to enjoy the quality films the Cinema Society offers. Alpha Epsilon Rho, the National Broadcasting Honor Society, has experienced a threefold increase in mem- bership as well as renewed campus interest in the club. An alumni professional chapter is being established and at least three student projects will be entered in national competition. In order to achieve their goal of promoting profesion- alism and responsibility in broadcasting, Alpha Epsilon Rho has been involved in many projects. Members sold radio ads and worked on-the- air as part of WVNA Take Over Day to raise funds for their trip to the national con- vention in Dallas. Members also worked on the Cerebral Palsy Telethon as late night emcees. Two members also worked on a Hollywood movie in Birmingham. The club ' s annual spring banquet was held at the Flor- ence Golf and Country Club. Awards were given out and Tyrone Thompson, an account executive for the Cable News Network was guest speaker at the function. Another Alpha Epsilon Rho undertaking is a video for Martin Industries. The production will raise money for the organization and pro- vide members with valuable experience. AN ABUSED, LONELY wife like Flora Meighan (Missy Ricketts) is easy prey for a man of Silva Vaccaro ' s (Richard Welborn) charm. Ricketts, in real-life a slim co-ed, was quite literally stuffed in order to take on this role in Twenty-Seven Wagons Full of Cotton, one of the Tennessee Williams ' one- acts performed in the fall. Many pounds of padding (mostly foam rubber) were added to her costume for an extremely realistic effect.

The purposes of this anization are to promote dligent living and a high ndard of learning and to courage superior scholas- attainment among fresh- n students. Xccording to Tim Guinn, e president of Alpha nbda Delta, The goals of organization for this year •e to acquaint new fresh- n with the organization, to iduct a spring initiation for ; ible freshmen, to inform ior students of national fel- ' ships, to recognize the standing senior member, 1 to recognize teaching :ellence through initiation faculty. 3uinn said, Dr. Jack own and Patricia Kyzar re initiated as honorary mbers of Alpha Lambda Ita at the formal initiation B lquet held in the Great 111 of the SUB. ' According to Patricia i den, adviser to the ibama Beta Chapter of I ppa Mu Epsilon. there are 25 active members in the organization. KME is a national honorary mathematics fraternity. Mem- bership in the organization is restricted to honor students in mathematics. Roden said, We have four membership require- ments. They are that a stu- dent (1) must have had at least one semester of calcu- lus; (2) must have at least ten hours of credit in math with a 2.0 GPA; (3) must have at least three hours of credit in math from UNA with a 2.0 GPA; and (4) must have an overall GPA of at least 1.75. Roden described the pur- poses of KME. She said, We hope to foster a high standard of scholarship and profes- sional training in mathematics, to stress the fact that mathematics has played a major role in the develop- ment of the pattern of thought of Western Civiliza- tion, to emphasize that mathematics is permeated with aesthetic beauty, to maintain a spirit of fellowship among men and women interested in mathematics, and to help maintain a last- ing interest in mathematics and its significance to life. Roden said that she con- sidered the most important aspect of KME to be the encouragement of mathematics work. KME promoted Mathematics Awareness Week in April. They offered free cokes and mathematical problems. Roden said, We had different mathematic quotes each day. And a breakfast ended the week. Roden also said, KME held is annual picnic to elect club officers. The faculty and students played a mean game of volleyball. Omicron Delta Kappa is a national leadership honor society. According to ODK president Mac Sparks, there are 26 active members in this organization. Sparks said, Require- ments for membership in ODK are that an individual must have shown exemplary character, scholarship and intelligence, demonstrated service and leadership in campus life and good citizen- ship within the academic and greater community. The purposes of ODK are to recognize individuals who have attained a high standard of leadership in collegiate activities and to encourage them to aspire to higher achievements, said Sparks. Sparks said, The single most important aspect of ODK is that ODK is made up of the best of the best, the cream of the crop of campus leaders and achievers. Dr. Oscar Beck is the club advisor for Phi Eta Sigma, a national honorary fraternity which recognizes and honors outstanding scholastic achievement among fresh- men students. Membership is by invitation to those regularly-enrolled students who earn a minimum 2.50 GPA during their first term as a freshman or a cumulative 2.50 GPA during their fresh- man year. The purposes of Phi Eta Sigma are to promote a high standard of learning and to encourage and recognize high scholastic attainment. The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, UNA Chapter - 132, currently has 250 active members. Membership is based upon grade point aver- age and good character. According to Robert Gaunder, public relations officer of Phi Kappa Phi, The purpose of the society is to recognize and encourage superior scholarship in all academic disciplines. Gaunder said, The most significant achievement of Phi Kappa Phi for this year is the establishment of two new award programs by the local chapter. The Student Scholars Forum Award Program was established to r ecognize origi- nal student research. Compe- tition is open to all students in all schools with, award based upon an original research paper submitted with a faculty sponsor. Jessie E. Whalen and Byron Tanner were the first recipients of this award. The second award recog- nizes a distinguished member of the local chapter. Dr. Joseph C. Thomas, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, was the chapter ' s distinguished member. He was presented a plaque in recognition of his outstanding service, said Gaunder. Scabbard and Blade is a military organization. There are currently 14 active mem- bers in the local chapter. There are also 19 pledges. According to Ruby Scheel, club secretary, The member- ship requirement is a short pledge period with initiation fees. Scheel said, The pur- poses of the organization are to unite in closer relationships the military departments of American universities and colleges, to preserve and develop the essential qualities of good and efficient officers, and to spread intelligent infor- mation concerning the mili- tary requirements of our country.

Martial Arts % Safety in numbers by Jennifer Oakle They say there ' s safety in numbers. There ' s also safety in knowing self defense, and the Martial Arts Club has both. The club has increased from six to twenty-five mem- bers, said Greg Engle, who is both a student and an instructor in the club. The style of martial arts used by the club is the Korean style of Tang Soo Du. Several area schools ha invited the club to demo strate their skills to the st dents, and they are alwa willing. We feel that self-defen: is very important, Eng said. We also want everyor to have a chance to lea: martial arts. This club isn ' t ju for people who already kno some form of karate, 1 said.

Commuters On the road by Jennifer Oakley They make up about 80 percent of the student body and are the most diverse group on campus. But they do have several things in common: Trouble finding a parking space, long days on campus, and driving, driving, driving . . . The Co mmuters are often found in their lounge ' s tem- porary location in the Student Union Building. After reno- vations are completed, they will have a new lounge to relax in, which is one of their priorities. We miss O ' Neal Hall, said Teresa Vaden, a sophomore. But we ' re look- ing forward to our new lounge, she said. The lounge provides a place for commuters to relax, study, or just pass the time between classes. Said Vaden, 1 just don ' t have time to drive all the way home if I have a break in classes. I come here. ONCE O ' NEAL HALL was the home of many campus organi- zations, including the com- muters and RESA. Now the lot stands bare, awaiting construc- tion of the new SUB. 286 STEPHEN ANDERSON EPHF.N ANDERSON IESA oming back o school by Jennifer Oakley They came back to college :er a few years to continue sir education. Some have Tiilies of their own. Most are the need of having a ace to talk with others who 2 in the same situation, id all are known as a group lied RESA (Re-Entering udents Association). We serve as a support oup for re-entering stu- snts, said Betty Linkins, iSA secretary. What we e mostly here for is to have place to go on campus here we have something in mmon with the people ere. The RESA lounge was cated in O ' Neal Hall until its jmolition in the summer, ley now occupy a room in slier Hall until an addition to e Student Union is built. We didn ' t know what we would do when O ' Neal was torn down. But thanks to Dr. Paul Baird [director of Stu- dent Development Center], we have a room in Keller Hall until the Student Union Building is remodeled, Linkins said. The group participated in the Spring Fling for the first time and, to their surprise, they came in third place over- all and even captured first place in the sidewalk art contest. They watch out for each other, too. When we found out that the spouse of one of our members had been injured, we raised some money by having a bake sale, Linkins said.

Martial Arts RESA PE Majors Organizations 287 MIKE CLAY Resident Assistants Hall Councils THE GOLDEN HOUR just around sunset is a perfect time to sit on the wall in front of the Towers complex. Whether visiting with friends or studying a little English Lit, the wall is an especially perfect place to perch in the comfortably warm days of early fall or late spring. THE RESIDENCE HALL DANCE on December 1 got many of the dorm residents on the floor to kick up their heels in celebration of the end of the semester. ROBERT LAWLER 288 Residence Halls vlaking the university nto a home away rom home by Jennifer Oakley For dorm dwellers, it ' s ;ir home away from home, id it ' s the job of Resident sistants to make the perience of dorm life as Tifortable and rewarding as ssible . M We don ' t have just one rpose for being here, said nthia Miller, senior Resi- nt Assistant at Rice Hall, ' ere here to promote a nily-type setting and to be erything from a source of ormation to being a nd. Each residence hall has a ill Director who is in charge the building, its residents, d resident assistants. There at least one resident assis- it, or R.A., on each floor. Greg Duffey, senior Resi- nt Assistant at Rivers Hall, is that most of the residents the mens ' dorm look to ir R.A. ' s for help with any jintenance problems and just to have someone to talk to. Everyone is trying to adjust to living away from home with a lot of different types of people. I believe it ' s a good learning experience, too, Duffey said. Dana Sparkman, resident assistant at LaGrange Hall, says that although some stu- dents are a bit uncertain about being away from home, they quickly adjust after only a week or so. As the residents get to know each other and become more familiar with their sur- roundings, they become more independent and happy about living in a dorm, she said. But if they have something on their minds, they can come and talk to their R.A. ' s at any time. That ' s what we ' re here for. The Hall Councils of each residence hall help make dorm life more pleasant. The dorms try to get together with each other and plan activities for everyone, said Sandy Fries, LaGrange Hall president. These are the most fun because more people get involved. Parties are the most popu- lar event that all the dorms participate in together. One of the parties this year was a Hawaii Beach Party after a pep rally that included a disc jockey from WZYP in Huntsville. Within each dorm the hall council plans activities for their residents and sometimes collects money for local char- ities. This year the LaGrange Hall Council sold huggies for the children of Safeplace, a local help organization, and Rice Hall collected contribu- tions for the United Way.

Back Row: Bryan Hill, Brett Davis, Brenda J. Hill. Late at night, when the lights go out across campus, very often a few remain burn- ing on the third of Keller Hall, home of The Flor-Ala and the Diorama. The Flor-Ala newspaper staff is led by executive editor Brett Davis and associate edi- tors John Hicks and Andy Trotter. The staff members work very hard to keep the repu- tation as a first-rate newspaper. As Davis said, Our goal is to accurately report what ' s going on across campus. This year, as in years before, the Flor-Ala was clas- sified as All American. For 45 students, there are four times this year that are extremely hectic. Missing a deadline is a Diorama year- book staff member ' s worst nightmare. It ' s not all work though. After every deadline, excep- tional staff members are given recognition on awards day. Because the majority of this year ' s staff members were new, a workshop was held early in the fall semester. Its purpose was to acquaint the new members with the basics in preparing a yearbook. There are no requirements for membership except interest. It also entails a good deal of leg work in covering campus events. Mike Clay, executive editor of the Diorama, said that the variety of campus events are being given more coverage this year than ever before . The honor society for stu- dents involved in campus publications is the Society for Collegiate Journalists. Members of the SCJ must have a 2.0 G. P. A. and he- served on either the Flor- or Diorama for at least a ye The president of the S is Brett Davis, vice-presid ' is Cathy Saint, and secret, is Syrenia Jones. The biggest project for t year is the publication of I SOAR newspaper. T SOAR newspaper contain summary of campus activii for incoming freshmen. SCJ is also a source recognition for the univ sity ' s newspaper a yearbook. The national office SCJ sponsors a nationw journalism competition. C publications have always v. several first and second pl awards, said Brenda J. Y Hill is adviser to SCJ as w as to the Flor-Ala a Diorama.

Two of the lucky ones who were there for the action were Mike Clay, yearbook editor, and Stephen Anderson, student publications photographer. DONT-DONT! Associate Editor Michelle Stumpe was painting staff message boxes in the yearbook room when she fell victim to the lens of Editor Photographer Mike Clay. Summer is a time for general clean-up in the office in an effort to gear up for the pan- demonium ahead. PUT ER THERE, MR. PRESIDENT! No? Okay, so Flor-Ala Executive Editor Brett Davis didn ' t really go to Washington; he didn ' t really meet President Ronald Reagan; he didn ' t really shake the presidential mitt. But if he had gone to Washington and if he had met the President, the scene would have looked some- thing like the one depicted in this ever-so-slightly retouched photograph.
