One minute, you can ' t find your freshman English classroom, and the next minute you ' re applying for graduation. Between those two moments, it feels like you ' re suspended in time. You are between your adolescence and adulthood. You AV between asking mom for money and telling her about your raise. It is what happens in these in-between moments that makes the college experience. You face a new cen- tury, a new millennium, and a new time in your life. Right now, at this very moment, you are experiencing life as you know it for the last time. Every trip to the Guillot Center, every exam, every football game: You will never perceive it through the same uncertain eyes of a college student again. And while it may feel as though you ' re suspended in time, each of those suspended moments passes so quickly that you ' re finishing up before you know it. On the cusp of Y2K, you are in one of the most impor- tant in-between moments you will ever experience. You are H l SPLASH!

The Andy Griffith Show, and for the same portrayal in the Mayberry series. People who live in Florence and students who attend UNA, however, will always remember George Lindsey as the founder of the George Lindsey UNA Television and Film Festival. George Lindsey is a graduate of UNA who has gained fame not only in television, but also in films and on Broadway. But he has never forgotten UNA and the people in Florence. I wanted to give some- thing back, and I thought and thought about what 1 could do to help my university. He visited the campus many times, particularly the Communications and Theatre Department. Lindsey said he came to the conclusion that a film festival would be one way he could help the university and the students. 1 was teaching a script-writing class at the time, and many students were writing what seemed to me to be good scripts. Many of the stu- dents were also interested in filmmaking, but we had no way of getting them in contact with filmmakers. Most of our students didn ' t have the time or money to go to some of the bigger festivals, like Sundance. Lisa Darnell and I volunteered to co-chair a committee to work with Lindsey to produce the first film festival, held on the UNA campus in April 1998. With the celebrity power of George Lindsey, we were able to have a celebrity guest, Tom Cherones, direc- tor of News Radio, and have a first-class festival. It was a combined effort of Bill Jarnigan, Lisa Darnell, myself, Annette Himmler and many others. We worked so hard that first year to get the fUm festival going — it was like climbint Mount Everest wltjiout really knowing what we were doing. The festival was planned to give aspiring film makers who could not go to film festivals in Europe or on the West Coast an opportunity to show their work and to be recognized. In the event, the festival attracted entries from across the nation as well as from many local students. UNA students were given a way to meet and talk with celebrities who have ' ■;y. ijfr ■ ■■■J ' --. i ¥?m - y i succeeded in the Industry. They had a chance to enter their own work, and a chance to see what other amateur filmmake ere doing as well. It was a win win situation. mi |f Categories for films were arranged for profes- sionals as well as for students, fledgling filmmakers from middle school to college. A Golden Lion Award was given to the best of show entry in both cate- gories and first-, second-, and third-place awards were presented in both categories. Winners were announced and awards presented at a gala held on the final night of the festival. | jriMli. ■B Everyone had a wonderful tSne. tne tfrenflrn festival was declared a success and the committee immediately began work on the second festival. Academy Award-winning actor Ernest Borgnine, a personal friend of Lindsey, was the guest celebrity for the second film festival, in April 1999.

It ' s pwarding to see how the professors and staff work ard to make something like this become a success - especially because it ' s all on a volunteer basis. Several years ago, Lindsey presented the UNA oilier Library with the original scripts Irom the ndy Gri[fith Show to be studied by anyone who light be planning a career in script writing, acting. • filming. These scripts showed actual instructions i how the series was filmed for an audience. And ince films from those entering the 1998 and 1999 ; stival could be useful to students studying televi- on and film, it was decided to create a place where these valuable scripts and amateur films could be easily accessible. Happily, a place was created and set aside to house the scripts and films for students to study at the Collier Library, and dedicated to George Lindsey. Marking the place in the library is a plaque, which reads, The George Lindsey Film Library, dedicated to all those who dream and all those who choose to learn. In a highlight of the sec- ond film festival, Ernest Borgnine made the UNA library a gift of the leather -bound, original scripts of all the movies in which he has appeared. With this gift, and that of Lindsey, and other filmmakers, the film library and the film festival have a firm foundation, and film students have an excit- ing future at the University of North Alabama. — Bobbie Hurt I I 0 y% .r Steppin ' out for United Way 10 Here I am, in the cavernous Norton Auditorium. Surrounded by other students, faculty and staff, and some community members all waiting for it to begin.

The air quivers with nervousness. Anticipation ends as the show begins. Zeta Tau Alpha, who placed first in the women ' s division, started off the event, which benefitted United Way.

In the men ' s division, Sigma Chi tried something new for them this year. They compiled several well- known songs from TV shows and applied them humor- ously to university life. Alpha Delta Pi stood apart from the rest that night by their Chorus Line performance, consisting of ener- getic song and dance. Another somewhat energetic scenario was that of the Kappa Sigmas. Looking back on MTV. this group surprised the audience as they proudly showed their glow-in-the-dark costumes, lighting the auditorium with a funky glow. It was a Whole New World for the audience as they witnessed Alpha Gamma Delta. These ladies of the university chose Aladdin as their theme for the night, and made every move count. There was an Elvis spotting on the Norton stage, too, and the Sigma Alpha Epsilons were to blame.

No matter how many times I heard the young Miranda marvel at the new people suddenly surrounding her, 1 would always stop hiking up my tights, adjusting my halter or playing with my puppet. I heard the nine words and 1 would think about how Shakespeare, for all of the reasons to hate him, always manages to seduce evenfms ifcost g if Whpp vphe n ient Retractors. imt line mo5 ' III tl lalt arr ikespes ' t ml secc Sigam- ay rt ' on6 lis rrted ircl because Shal myself as st marl :es piMrti iv lay myseTl wolild [akespekre bul of 4 tigl [spiabJt w{ lani SOI ThaWlHi ar ol fg speare elicits feelings of inadequacy in armer. Shakespeare gives words to what lit ' , lor most people, inexpressible ideas and emotions. Accurately conveying the inexpressible is, to be honest, a bitch. When young Miranda exclaims, O brave new world that hath such people in ' t she is expressing wonder at the beauty of humanity. A girl of fifteen. Miranda has never seen another person except her father. I ' rospero. She is for all practical purposes an articulate infant see- ing other individuals for the first time. As I, plpying Trinculo, waited for my final entrance, 1 would hear the line and try to imagine what 1 possibly could have thought when setting eyes upon the doctors and nurses, and upon my mother and father, for the first time. As a baby 1 had no words to describe my awe and curiosity but Shakespeare, through Miranda, is able to bring those words to the world. While the audience sees despots, assassins and cronies, Miranda only sees diversity, beauty and complex- ity. As Trinculo, the jester who might have murdered Prospero had I not gotten drunk on salvaged wine. I came onto the stage shortly after Miranda ' s glorious expression of the inexpressible. 1 was dressed in clothes stolen from F ' rospero — a turban, a tunic and an anachronistic sequined bra, which made me wonder to myself what kind of secret life the exiled Duke of Milan had been leading during his twelve years on the deserted island — and 1 would echo Miranda ' s words with my own. If these [meaning eyes ' ) be tnie spies which I wear in my head, here ' s a goodly sight! I would say, casting wide eyes around at members of King Alonso ' s court. My line was not as poetic nor as expressive as Miranda ' s line. It is also a good deal longer than Miranda ' s nine words. For all of Shakespeare ' s obscurities, which along with the tights and the dated jokes makes him feared by most audiences, he seduces through his simplicity. It is the simple lines that give words to the inexpressible and it is the wonder of humanity, not just Miranda ' s wonder but Shakespeare ' s wonder, which keeps me coming back to acting again and again. It is his wonder that keeps audi- ences and readers interested even when they haven ' t the foggiest idea what is going on. — Marc Mitchell i m ■iVi ' -. .NOT THAT LINE AGAIN!

Honor is my touchstone. I understand mission first, and people always. I am the past: the spirit of those warriors who have made the final sacrifice. 1 am the present: the scholar and apprentice soldier enhancing my skills in the science of warfare and the art of leadership. But above all, I am the future: the future war- rior leader of the United States Army. May God give me the compassion and judgment to lead and the gallantry in battle to win. I will do my duty. These words of the cadet creed mean more to me than most people will ever understand. 1 am in Army ROTC. Upon my graduation in May. 1 will become a lieutenant in the United States Army, fulfilling a dream I have had since 1 was five years old. 1 grew up in a military family and had the privilege of seeing firsthand how great it is. I can ' t think of a greater honor than to serve my country, and protect my fel- low Americans. ROTC is a very demanding course. The sacrifice of cadets is great. Many nights are spent in the woods learning how to set up a defense, or how to navigate — cold and alone. We do this while we could be out with friends, at parties or watching the big game. Last summer, as an MS 111 cadet, 1 went with fellow junior cadets to Advance Camp in Fort Lewis, Wash., and then to Cadet Troop Leadership Training at various places such at Fort Carson, Colo. We were gone for two months, and missed out on many things that other people our age would like to be doing. 1 had just gotten married in March, and the separa- tion from friends and family was tough, but knowing that 1 am learning how to be a better leader and might some day protect those friends and family members from an enemy makes it all worthwhile. Most people don ' t understand the life we commit to when we sign on the dotted line, promising to obey and defend. To many, we are Just those guys in the green uniforms. They don ' t know about those early-morning sessions of physical training, the afternoon labs, or the weekend field exercises. The hours tacked onto our normal workload are tremen- dous, the sacrifice great. Why would anyone want to do it? Why? That question has been asked throughout countless generations. 1 say doing it is a privilege. I feel blessed to have been given a drive in my being to serve others by becoming a soldier for my country, with its proud history of defending freedom. 1 have the honor of serving with our nation ' s greatest men and women — men and women who may have the potential to lead Fortune 500 companies but instead choose to serve their country by bearing arms.

I AM THE PRESENT. Cadet Joey Luster enhances his skills in a field training exercise. I AM THE FUTURE. Cadet William Boyd readies himself to follow the cadet creed. Many people ask me if I had it to do over again, would 1 have chosen a path other than the military? My answer, with- out hesitation, is no. 1 am proud of being an ROTC cadet. 1 can ' t wait to be an Army officer. It is a good thing to be in the military. Many people feel that we are wasting our time in ROTC and the train- ing is pointless — not so. ROTC is com- missioning 75 percent of the officers in the Army now. We will be in charge of America ' s young men and women, and responsible for their lives. The time and effort ROTC requires is worth it. The problem is finding men and women dedi- cated enough and selfless enough to serve. The place to find them at UNA is with my fellow cadets — a chosen few who will uphold a higher standard. I am proud to be an Army cadet and 1 promise you I will do my duty. — Ryan Huston 17 You are getting very ... 18 Spring Fling caused students to forget their manners: they ate with no hands, they spat their watermelon seeds, they drew on sidewalks, fought over ropes, and much, much, more. Me, me! I wave my hand around. 1 want to be hypnotized. I ' ve heard about Tom Deluca and his show last year, and I want him to choose me. My friend Klrstie was hypnotized and she had to do some crazy things. Everyone says this will be the best part of Spring Fling 1999. i He ' s coming this way ... pick me ... Yes!

In fact, if a member of the audience manages to forget he or she is sitting in a theater watching actors perform from a script, not only is the show a failure but that audience member would do well to seek psychi- atric help. I went with my ex-girlfriend to see The Skin of Our Teeth. Just as we were both aware we were watching a performance onstage, we both knew we were acting roles as we sat there in our seats. She and 1 were both pre- tending nothing sour had ever occurred between us. Also, since we both knew most of the cast, in their off- stage roles as drama students and friends, we pretended not to be surprised when mild-mannered, light-hearted Daryl Crittenden or kind, energetic Krissy Warren flared in raw anger or trembled in emotional pain. For a while, she and I pretended to be old friends instead of old loves, and pretended not to know Anna Brooks or Mark Hampton or Annelle Caspers. Cast and audience played their roles with dedication and bril- liance. My ex, Beth, is now a student of drama at the University of Alabama. She has been onstage several times, in a variety of roles. I met her when she per- formed the role of Abigail and 1 played Reverend Hale in The Crucible. Most of the actors in The Skin of Our Teeth had been in the audience during the run of Crucible, just as most of the cast of Crucible found themselves sitting in Norton Auditorium a year later to watch the former audience of our sl|p| perform a show for us.

' ]V%|k,mho played the lead role of Antrobus in Skin, llfes Superman, Star Wars and Austin Powers. nous spring, he and 1 were in The Tempest pre-Phantom Menace, and every day he gushe(fnews about the irripending Star Wars flick. As Antrobus, Mark cheated on his wife, attempted to kill his son (who, granted, was also trying to kill him), and repeatedly saved humanity from extinction. Antrobus probably would not like Star Wars or Austin Powers. Everyone likes Superman. Rachael Scanlon made her first appfrafi-ance play as a mammoth. That ' s right — she entered wear- ing a large muppetesque costume. 1 did my first play with Rachael: she was Juliet and I was Paris, the guy Juliet kills herself in order to avoid marrying, in Romeo and Juliet. And Daryl was in RSuJ as well, as was Heather Cannon (Fortuneteller). Rachael made a fine Juliet and she made a fine mammoth. You can ' t say that about everyone. The p toget ce m So Beth and I sat in the audience, aware we were an audience and aware we were not boyfriend girl- friend. She had a new boyfri|ni, in Tuscaloosa, but I was still as single as a slice of cheese.

In fact, auditoriums and funeral homes are about the only locations I can think of where people cry in public. Laugliing happens all over the world. Crying hap- pens in only a few sanctioned spots. Beth and 1 sat in 20 the auditorium watching our friends move an entire the audience nearly to tears, to laughter, to reflection, to a hundred other emotions, and somewhere in the last act Beth and 1 were moved to hold hands. After the show, Anna Brooks, whom we had just watched resist floods and famines and other family crises, joined us for a late dinner at IHOP. Anna ' s boyfriend came with us but they broke up a few days later. I hope it was nothing I said. The university ' s production of The Skin of Our UNA photos by Chandra Dye DON ' T MAKE A MOVE. Mark Hampton prac- tices his assassination technique. Teeth did not let the audience forget it was an audience, and in fact heightened the audience ' s awareness of itself as a group of people sharing an experience. Mark ' s parents sat in front of us and the director of the play, John McCaslin- Doyle, operated a projector that was set up next to my own seat. He watched his young son perform, too, in the dual roles of a tele- graph boy and a defeated presidential can- didate. Anna ' s boyfriend spent his last few moments in that particvilar role sitting on the other side of Beth. All of us watched the play, having our different relationships with each of the actors, our own memories, our own opin- ions, sharing the plot with one another. McCaslin-Doyle says, in the director ' s note in the program for Skin, don ' t expect this play to explain itself. It won ' t. That ' s your job. Which is true — most of the art of performing is letting the audience have their own personal reactions. — Marc Mitchell Cast and Crew: Hercial Austin, Julie Barnhill, David Bishop, Joshua Stanley Bngan.

Going io another country is a Inumbiing experience. Going in a group led by Dr. Adler is not only humbling, but exhausting as well. I ' ve never before met someone who took so much pleasure in walking uphill. That first day in Madrid was tough. I had never really under- stood the term culture shock before. We stopped at a cafe first thing for a snack — but none of us were brave enough to order. Kelly Etheridge was the first. Que es eso? she asked with a red face. After some struggling, she bought her first pastry and Coke. That was all it took to start Kelly ' s addiction to Spanish pastries. I decided 1 would order next. I ' d never thought 1 would have such a hard time ordering orange juice. I felt so self-con- scious, but I managed to spit out the words zumo de naran- ja, por favor. It worked, too — I couldn ' t believe it. During those first three days in Madrid, Dr. Adler told us that the trip would fly by. We, of course didn ' t believe HACECALOR. m a small town that was deathly still during siesta on a scorching June day. Tina Lx tt found a creative way to cool off. him. He was right, though. After our host families picked us up at the bus station rn Salamanca, the rest went by in a blur. Salamaca is a beautiful city with 300,000 residents that has a perfect mixture of historical sites and modern conveniences. Over the four weeks that we were there, the group was awed by everything we discovered. We saw an astronaut carved into the stonework on the New Cathedral. We were all scared by the legend of the frog on the wall of the University of Salamanca — if you could see him, you were supposed to be married within one year. We talked to Pedro Rodriguez, who roamed the Plaza Mayor, telling stories of when he was an extra in a movie that was filmed there. After our time there, we trav- eled throughout southern Spain. None of us will ever forget the smell of olive trees, the feel of a bus with- out air conditioning, or the sight of Dr. Adler actually sleeping. Going to another country is a humbling experience, but it ' s also a fulfilling one. — Kristin Burt 22 OLE!

As Elisha Worth drives away, she glances in her rear view mirror and sees a crime so heinous she doesn ' t want to believe her eyes. She glances and sees the bigger man grab the smaller one. She looks again and sees light glint off a shovel as the smaller man swings it. She sees fighUng, and then she drives until she can ' t see H hing at all. Now one man is dead, and another ' s life is on the line. Ruel Ellis is on trial for the murder of his best friend Cony Webber. and it is up to Dr. Tim Collins ' PS 490 class to either convict him or set him free. Depending on what the assignment is, of course. This is Mock Trials. Even though the schedule said the class met every Monday from 6-8:45. soon after the course started I realized that this class would require a lot more than three hours a week prepara- tion. Mock Trials takes a case that has actually been tried, and gives it to students who divide into teams, to alternate- ly prosecute and defend. My team captain, Marcus Maples, was relentless. He insisted on three meetings each week, and our meeting would always last at least five hours. He was right, too, though 1 left every day with a headache from thinking too much. Those meetings really prepared our team for the forthcoming competitions. After almost an entire semester of hard work, we finally were able to compete. The competition was at Middle Tennessee State University, and it lasted from early Friday morning to late Saturday night. We were slated to com- pete against teams like nation- ally ranked Bellarmine, and MTSU. On Friday, before the competition, 1 consumed almost two entire rolls of Turns. None of my teammates were without their remedies - Pepto, Rolaids, everyone had 24 READY TO TESTIFY. Angle Vann prepares to give testimony as key wit- ness U.S. Naval Seaman Elisha Worth.

Marcus blew the defense out of the water with his role as prosecution witness Detective Webb. He played a perfect police officer, establishing himself as a professional and making the crime scene look flawless. He went on to win a best wit- ness award, earning a perfect score. After two full days of trials, we were all fighti ng to stay awake at the awards ceremony. At the end of the competition, UNA didn ' t rank. The purpose of MTSU, though, was to find our flaws and iron them out. Now, when we head to the bigger competitions, we won ' t need quite so many Turns. — Randy Fischer Photos courtesy of Lee Brasher and Angi© Vann. TEAM X.

I The them of Homecoming veek was YESterday, TOday, TOMORROW. During the week here were several activities to lelp celebrate this event. The veek ' s festivities were kicked off vith window painting at the juillot University Center and in lowntown Florence at local shops. It was an excellent opportu- lity to get to know some of the )ther organizations that were )ainting besidesus, said (onathan Layman, a student )ainting one of the windows at the }UC. The winners of the window )ainting contest were Zeta Tau ilpha for the women ' s division, ' iji for the men ' s division, and the irt Student Association for the oed division.

Fiji took the men ' s division, and the Black Student Alliance was first in coed. Fun Flicks is another event that marks Homecoming week. In it, organiza- tions produce their own videos in the GUC. The winner of the Flicks were Phi Mu in the women ' s division, Phi Kappa Alpha in the men ' s division, and the BSA in the coed division. Fun Flicks is always a fun homecoming event, said Sonia Henao, a Phi Mu sister. This is my third year to do it, and I enjoy every minute of it. It ' s just fun to get out there in the middle of the SUB and act crazy! Every year on the Friday of homecoming week, there is a pep- rally to unite the students and see which organization has the most Lion Pride. And as usual, on this year ' s Saturday morning, friends and family gathered to continue the celebration of Yes To Tomorrow by participating in the parade at nine in the morning. 27 IRVi • i X iQLlQ t . ft Hlt w The parade gathered at Kilby School and made its way down Pine Street past the crowds of wellwishers, then up Court Street and downtown past the quaint shops and restaurants, and even- tually back to Kilby. There were floats, decorated cars, people on foot, and almost anything else one could imagine, showing everyone in the community the university ' s Pride. After the floats were judged. Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Baptist Campus Ministries went home with first place. As usual, there were overall winners for school spirit. The groups judged to have shown their roaring spirit the most were Phi Mu, Fiji, and BCM, with the BCM WHERE ' S THE FIRE? LaGrange Society mem- bers enjoy waving to the crowd. HOSTS WITH THE MOST.

Homecoming is an exciting week, but it is full of hard work for everyone, said Henao. We were lucky to have leaders such as Erica Young, Heather Church, and Sara Owen to lead us through the mayor events. 1 hope next year goes as well as it did this year. Now it is game time. The band comes out and the Hall of Fame inductees are introduced, and the homecoming court announced. Kimberly Williams is named the homecoming queen and Heath Grimes, the homecom- ing king. After the playing of the National Anthem, the fight song finally begins. 28 We start running and the flag j take its shape. Everyone in the stadium sees only the Pride of Dixie Band and the purple and gold of the UNA flag on the field. As we run and circle the field with the flag, 1 feel so honored that the Christian Student Fellowship was asked to carry the flag on such an occasion. It is truly the most exhilarat- ing experience of my college career and all of the other members of the Christian Student Fellowship that carry the flag are sure to feel the same way. Homecoming week is once again a roaring success. — Ashley Jones 30 n December 5, 1998. Kimberly Williams was crowned as Miss UNA at the conclusion of the 25th anniversary university pageant. Williams said that being crowned Miss UNA would not only give her the opportunity to showcase her talent, but would also allow her to promote her platform of sexual absti- nence. Williams said the most important thing about her platform is that it directly relates to her life. 1 am practicing what I preach. Not that I am preaching to anyone, but what I stand for is me. That is who I am. Williams said that her involvement in campus organizations and clubs helped make her the per- son she is and helped her get to the position of Miss UNA. Each one has added its special touch in my life, she said. LEAD team has helped me with my public speaking skills. Being a Lionette has helped my motivation and discipline to keep my appearance. The jazz band has given me the opportunity to sing and get in front of others and entertain. Zeta has given me encouragement and had 100 percent faith in me. Williams ' roommate, Julie Grissom, said Kim- berly exemplifies the word shine. She is very genuine and always willing to help people. Her heart is very pure, very honest, and very genuine. Williams was to graduate in December 1999. planning to pursue a career in communications. Her ultimate goal is to become a professional singer. She has made two demo recordings which include songs written by her mother. She was also in the process of meeting with producers. — Amelia Monroe A DREAM COME TRUE. Kimberly Williams is more than happy to pass her crown on to her friend and sister Laney Marchbanks. whose platform issue was seatbelt safety. THE CONTESTANTS. Competition was fierce, but Marchbanks ' moving rendition of an aria from Puccini ' s Gianni Schicchi earned her the top spot in the talent portion of the com- petition, as well as the Miss UNA crown. o n November 19 at Norton Auditorium, the 2000 Miss UNA pageant concluded with Miss UNA 1999 Kimberly Williams relinquishing her crown to Laney Marchbanks. a fresh- man majoring in commercial music. Marchbanks also won the talent competition in the 2000 Miss UNA pageant. Her vocal selection was O Mio Babbino Caro by Puccini. I feel very privileged to have this opportunity. I know what a standard she [Kimberly Williams] set in doing so well, said Marchbanks. She ' s a beau- tiful young woman and she was an amazing Miss UNA. I ' m very privileged to call her my sister. 1 look up to her and I know she ' s going to go far. Marchbanks said as Miss UNA she wants to get out into the community, to get involved and to be a good leader and role model. The contestants in the pageant were given an opportunity to promote their platforms during the question-and -answer portion of the pageant. Marchbanks chose seat belt safety as her issue. She has been active In seat- belt-usage promotion by designing and passing out bookmarks and organizing checkpoints that allow people to come and get their car seats checked for proper installation. Her career goals, however, are set much higher. She said she wants to establish myself in musical theater and to perform on Broadway. Realizing the dream of Broadway more often than not leaves searchers empty-handed, Marchbanks said she knows the uncer- tainty but is focused on the possibility of its coming to pass instead of what happens if it does not. It ' s a passion. It ' s a desire I want- ed to do since I was little and it just will not go away, said Marchbanks. As Miss UNA, Marchbanks will be given countless opportunities to show- case her talent while she represents the university as well. — Amelia Monroe 31 ' U- t ' .iiii ' 4v . t .1 iiirriia.i.tfi I igamtiitak JC 3 1 irls Qpike the rjompetition and become Champions again, and again and again What goes through the mind of an ath- lete?

We then eat and then came back to the gym to watch Emporia and Missouri Western play. We divided our team up, half scout- ed Emporia and the other half Missouri Western. Then we just sat down with our little black binders that contain all of our scouting reports from the teams we have played and the ones we will play in the future. I think it looks kind of intimidating to the schools we are scouting when we come in with our binders and just sit right down behind them. They know we are watching every move they make. 34 VICIOUS BLOCK. Christi Barefleld and Nichole Kvislik effectively block the opposing team ' s kill attempt. ■VICTORY (opposite). The women cele- brate another hard-earned victory, which took them to the GSC and on to the NCAA South-Central Regional Tournaments. t So the next day, we get up early and have our normal breakfast routine. Matt goes to the grocery store and buys bagels, cereal, muffins, and other goodies and he will take it to some room, and that is where we will have breakfast. After that, we hop into the vans and head for the gym. We have to drop off our four training room peo- ple: Shameka, Deja, Lana, and Christy, so that they can prepare for the game. The rest of us go on to the gym. When the training room people go to the gym we begin warming up for our game against Missouri Western. After watching them beat Emporia the night before, we know we have our work cut out for us. 1 remember serving the first ball and missing it in the net; I heard them roar with excitement. You would have thought they had won a national championship or something. But that was the only cheering they would do. Just like against Washburn, our offense was too fast for them. And it didn ' t hurt that we were passing perfectly. When we pass well, that gives us three options of where to set the ball: to the outside hitter, the middle hitter, or to the right side hitter. This will make it harder for the blockers on the other side, because they don ' t know where the ball is going to be set. Matt said it was the best match we had played all season. We later played Emporia and did the exact same thing to them as we did to the other two teams — we beat them. Our flight wasn ' t going to leave till early the next day, so the coaches let us gc to the Kansas City mall for a few hours. By the hap piness on our faces, you would have thoughl Christmas had come early. We had a great time Now we have the conference tournament coming up and maybe a chance to play UAH again. The weekend of the Gulf South Conference tour- nament was blessed from the beginning — it was the first time we had ever had a charter bus for our trip. Usually, we take vans or the university ' s minibus on our away games. The charter was nice for the girls who are tall and need that extra leg room. We also had our own seats and none of us had to share — that was very nice. The charter ride was almost per- fect except the VCR did not work and we had rented about four videos, but we still really enjoyed it. On our way to Arkansas Tech, we got stuck in some traffic and had to change our clothes for the banquet in the bus. That was pretty interesting, try- ing to get yourself all done up in a moving vehicle, but we all did it. All of us looked really nice and it was nice to see everyone in nice stuff and not the usual spandex and T-shirt. The banquet was nice; in one part of the conference all the seniors went up to the front and a girl sang Hero by Mariah Carey. Seeing them there was quite sad because we had five seniors, and it was hard to realize they won ' t be here any more after this season. These girls were all like my big sisters and 1 don ' t know how I ' m going to get by next year without them. 1 guess I will find a way. - -«,. . c -m -..-.. .

Braly Stadium has witnessed both amazing victories and disappointing defeats — renovated this year, It shows a new face as the home of the Lions. L I O n are dleappo ' mted with this season, but Km OVv that, next season, M O team is safe — they will roar 1(53 1 into the hearts of all opponents. The football Lions suffered through a trying 1999 season, finishing with an overall record of 5-6, 5-4 in Gulf South Conference play. Coming off an 8-2 mark in 1998, the Lions had hopes for a return to the NCAA Division II Playoffs, but those hopes took a blow before the first snap of the season. UNA suffered numerous losses in the off- season, from both graduation and ineligibility. Before their opening game, head coach Bill Hyde knew the season would be a struggle. We just don ' t have enough depth, said Hyde. That ' s going to be our lament all year long. We have a little depth offensively, but not much defensively. The Lions faced a tough match-up in their opening game of the season, as Pittsburg State, the win- ningest team in Division II history, came to town for a non-conference affair. UNA performed well, but was unable to overcome two touchdowns of over 90 yards en route to losing 28-21. Lion quarterback Tyler Peterson led the offense with 312 total yards and two touchdowns, while Chad Sears led the defense with 15 total tackles. The following week, UNA opened its GSC sched- ule against Southern Arkansas, and suffered its sec- ond loss of the season due to five turnovers. The Lion defense kept the game close in the second half behind Larry Paul and Daniel Lawson, who com- bined for 22 tackles on the day, but SAU held on for a 24-14 win. The schedule would get no easier for UNA. After posting an 0-2 start, the Lions played host to Division 1-AA ' s Elon College. The Elon Christians came to Florence and handed the Lions a 35-15 loss, giving UNA its first 0-3 start since the 1975 season 39 GO FOR THE GLORY.

UNA finally notched a win in game four, against Central Arkansas, 24-17, evening its conference mark at 1-1. T.D. Jones led the Lions with 95 yards rushing, and Marcus Keys caught four passes for 73 yards in the victory. Darrian Gordon paced the defense with 12 tackles against CAU.

Tyler Peterson led the offense, completing nine of 12 passes for 213 yards. Keys had his second-straight big game, catching four passes for 93 yards.

I did not know what to expect as the new graduate assis- tant for men ' s basketball. Coach Gary Elliot and Coach Billy Gamble helped make the transition an easy one. The transition was not com- plete, however, until 1 had met and had a chance to work with the players in pre- season conditioning. I knew right away 1 was going to have a great year. Everyone from the players and coach- ing staff to the Athletic Department staff made me feel at home. Preseason con- ditioning and weight- training seemed to last six months, but 1 was having fun and the work ethic of the players made my job easy. Once practice started, 1 felt a little apprehensive about my role. I was not sure whether the players would listen to me, since I had no previous college coaching experience. Again, 1 was for- tunate to be working with a group of guys who not only worked hard every day, but also demonstrated a lot of respect for me as a coach. Coach Elliott and Coach Gamble immediately let me know they expected me to be a part of practice and told me to correct things when I saw they were done incorrectly. The acceptance from both groups provided a great J Livn AGAINST ALL ODDS (above and opposite page). With several players from the opposing team trying to stop him.

The game is not when most coaching occurs. The most exciting thing about basketball is the games, and that never changes. As a coach, 1 have more pregame jitters than I ever had as a player. I have realized as a coach that once the game starts, the players have to be prepared and if they are not ready then, not much can be done. That is the frightening thing about coaching. The 1999-2000 Lions were always willing to give maximum effort and that took away some of the jitters because these guys made up for a lot of mistakes with effort. 1 am proud to say that 1 have been a part of this team. — Terry Marsh 44 The 1998-1999 Lions season ended with a 14-12 overall record and tied for Fifth In the Co « Division of the Gulf South Conference. ■k • k Miles College W 71-57 0) Ronda Southern 60-71 A Selma W 87-59 E s Arkansas Tec h 68-73 Central Arkansas W 81-76 Delta State 66-71 Lane College W 99-73 Christian Brothers W 79-72 Pace 86-92 Montevalk) W 81-75  West Florida 60-65 t Christian Brothers W 86-58 West Georgia W 68-64 (B Valdosta Stale W 85-69 3 Lane College 72-76 C Lincoln Memorial w 79-76 CO Alabama-Huntsville 70-82 T West Alabama 60-64 TAKING THE LAY-UP TO THE TOP.

Casey Willis uses his body to keep the ball away from the other team. 45 V Lady Lions rei n as c ueer e of the court I started playing basketball back home in Holland when I was about 15 years old. just because 1 had gotten tired of tennis and wanted to try something new. It turned out to be a very good choice; 1 had a lot of fun and I played in a very competitive league. After a couple of years, however, I realized that to my teammates, basketball was only a recre- ational thing. Homework, shopping, par- ties and the beach were all more impor- tant than practice. Even though we would only be in the gym three times a week for about an hour and a half, they always made up excuses to skip. Sometimes we had to work with five or six people, even though we supposedly had 12 players. When I got the chance to play college basketball in the United States, I decided to pack my bags and take the risk. I ended up here at UNA. which is far away from home, but worth the try. Basketball in the U.S. turned out to be a very different game. People are com- petititive and really sports-minded. The first couple of weeks were tough on me. All we did was lift weights and do a lot of conditioning, every single day. When we officially started basketball practices, 1 was overwhelmed by the physical game Americans play. Post players were push- ing and shoving each other around with- out getting any fouls called on them. I was obviously not used to this amount of contact, and it took some major adjust- ments to be able to play with my new teammates. I also noticed some of the rules were different than back home. In Holland, we still use the 10-second rule and in a freethrow situation we can only have three defensive and two offensive players to rebound. There is no difference between 20-second and full time-outs and nobody but one of the coaches can call one. Of course, these are all just small things, but you have to get used to them! Being away from home and the tough school and practice schedule we have helped me mature in both everyday life and basketball. 1 am part of a great team. OH NO YOU DON ' T.

I am mentally checking them over for injuries. After being plagued by numerous injuries the previous season, all pre- cautions are taken this year. While no major injuries arose, flare-ups did occur. An Achilles tendon injury did not stop Captain Brandi Eveland from making her way back to the field. She now holds the record for most goals scored in a match (4). Eventually, Eveland will make her name known in the Gulf South Conference by making the 1999 All Gulf South Conference First team. Also, Eveland managed to find her way to the 1999 NSCAA All South Region Third team. These prestigious awards were bestowed on a truly gifted senior. Making the 1999 All Gulf South Conference First team was Catherine Shillig, a freshman from Ghana, Ohio. In addition to that lovely award, Schillig was able to capture a spot on the 1999 NSCAA All South Region First team. Schillig was a versatile player in that she scored the more goals (14), most assists (7), and the most total points (35). Team members that were also given the opportunity d uring the Conference Tournament were Rita Bernhardt, Gloria Repolesk, Sara Tvrdy, and Shelly White. Along with Brandi Eveland, Shelley White was picked for the 1999 NSCAA South Region Third team. Individual accomplishments rang loud and clear, but overall team record-breakers set a pace of their own. Five school team records were broken by the 1999 Women ' s Squad, winning 12 games for an overall record of 12-7-1. The team scored a collective 45 goals in 1999 and assisted 28 of those goals. Keepers Shelley Huggins and Hannah Perry were able to make 115 saves and record 7 shutouts between them. Moving onto a different warm-up activity, the! other team is just now beginning to move. Lxjoks like ' they only have about 13 girls, players that don ' t appear to amount to much. Having witnessed past seasons of Lion soccer, it is easy to empathize with a suffering team. Still, a job must be done and some- how I can feel that the Lady Lions Soccer team will get it done.

The last game of the Regionals is tonight, and the wait I must endure before it all starts is almost unbear- able. Sitting alone with my excited thoughts, I wonder about the outcome of this vital game. The team worked hard to make it this far, and a win would not only be an outstanding accomplishment, but would send them to the World Series. With the music pounding from the press box and a hot dog and a drink in my hands, I look around to take in the view and the electricity of the situation.

According to Fears, He probably pitched the best game of the year that he ' s ever pitched. He did so well that he pitched all but the ninth inning. Although Southeastern Oklahoma had a great offense, Grijalva helped tame it with eight strikeouts for the game. A lot of the success of the defense was the teamwork of the pitcher and catcher. Christian Gallegos caught every game in the toiimament, in what has been his best season ever. 52 Champione tC THE LOWDOWN. Coach Lane preps his players before the final regional game. VICTORY!

Josh WiUingham and Matt Henry close in on the runner, marking another great play by the Lions. Denny Paganelli and Chris Fears were the lead-off hitters for the team, and it was the job of Josh WiUingham and Joey Gilikan to drive the hitters home. However, it was the synchronization in hit-and-runs from all of the lineup that resulted in some of the best runs. The whole year we worked so hard, said Fears. The whole fall we just killed ourselves, and we knew that nobody was in better condition than us: nobody had prepared more than we did. First baseman Steve Kosa, working with Douglas Hargett at third, frustrated Southeastern Oklahoma with several double plays, while the outfield thrilled the fans with amazing catches. The factor that really made the game a success was the obvious team effort. 1 can ' t say there was anybody that really just took over the game, siad Fears. We were all on our game. Lee Autrey burned the center fielder with a double, scoring the game-winning run. It was considered the biggest hit of his career by several of his teammates, and rightfully so. It was indeed the hit that made the Lions tournament champions. The team put a lot of work into the sea- son-ender that sent them packing and ready for the World Series, and for an athlete, that is the most fulfilling thing that could ever happen. Over the years, the Lions have made it to the Regionals. but never before to the World Series. Now that they have a taste of that excitement and victory, the plan is to succeed again, and this time, to conquer the Worid. — Anne Beam 1 54 U? i«flH« ' iSHwoaimMi Central Arkansas W 8- 5 t Virginia Intermont w 20- Central Arkansas w 6- 5 (D LeMoyne-Owen w 16- 6 3 Lewis w 7- 5 Eckerd w 7- 2 Valdosta State 2- 4 0) Upscomb w 13- 5 Ui Upscomb w 5- 4 Quincy w 10- 1 Delta State 0- 6 LeMoyne-Owen w 12- Butler w 4- 3 r LeMoyne-Owen w 14- 2 8 Martin Mettiodlst w 5- 4 ' West Alabama w 8- 5 (0 ' West Alabama w 7- Campbellsville w 16- 7 Campbellsville w 7- •Montevallo 10- 11 •Montevallo w 12- 4 •Montevallo w 6- 2 Cumberland w 9- Cumberland w 14- 4 ■West Florida w 18- 12 •West Florida w 8- 1 •West Florida w 7- 4 s •Valdosta State w 15- 1 4 •Valdosta State w 7- 6 s- •Valdosta State w 18- 13 Martin Mettiodist w 18- 7 Tennessee-Martin w 11- 4 Lincoln Memorial w 12- 5 Lincoln Memorial 4- 8 ' Lincoln Memorial w 8- 6 Upscomb w 6- 4 Lipscomb w 8- 2 Union 5- 11 ' West Georgia 9- 16 •West Georgia w 9- 5 •West Georgia 1- 9 Chnstian Brottiers w 8- Christian Brothers w 11- 4 ' Alabama-Huntsville w 10- 6 ' Alabama-Huntsville 4- 12 ' Alabama-Huntsville 3- 4 Southern Arkansas w 8- 7 ' Alabama-Huntsville w 9- 7 Delta State w 12- 3 ID Delta State 2- 5 s Delta State w 10- 7 ' Alabama-Huntsville w 7- 4 • SE Oklahoma State w 3- SE Oklahoma State w 4- 2 West Virginia State w 15- 9 Kennesaw State 3-10 EYE ON THE BALL. ] Ready for anything, Joey Gilikan steps into the pitch as it comes across the plate BASEBALL OR FOOTBALL?

Rolling greens, tall pines, fresh air. Here exists a well-groomed paradise — a whole new way to experience the simple wonder of the great outdoors. 1 must admit that before today — my first day to ever set foot on any golf course — my image of the world of golf was one of a starched, sterile, silent, uni- form and boxed-in place. Today, in one short afternoon, 1 have discovered extreme inaccuracy in my having labeled the world of golf as boring and tight. This is a world simply fine. It is a place of peace and meditation ... a place where tough decisions are pondered, hard wor- ries resolved, and daily strife forgotten as time slows its pace to a thoughtful pause. Squirrels romp in the trees and the occasional unafraid deer pauses to watch some golfer ' s ball go sailing high and graceful through the air. A myriad of hap- pily at-home birds sing out enchanting special sound effects over this quiet, though not quite silent, wonderland. —Whack!— Another little white ball soars across the sky and the golfer stands there watching its journey, shading his eyes with his hand as he feels a week ' s worth of on-the-job stress magically disappear from his soul. Such is a casual afternoon on the golf course. But for the serious golfer — the golf athlete — the feeling must be much the same. For it must certainly require not only quiet calm but also astounding concentration and great skill to rise above the rest and become a mas- ter of the game. And so I have emerged from my prej- udiced, misinformed disdain for a sport I had previously considered stuffy and dull. The game of golf is as beautiful for its conceptual simplicity as it is for its natur- al setting. It is truly an eagle on the fly. — Tanjie Nash .

There ' s nothing out there got bigger problems than me. Let me tell you. I got problems. What a life 1 got! 1 don ' t ever get no sleep, first off. There ' s some- thing right there — I don ' t sleep cause how can you sleep when you ' re stuffed inside a metal cylinder, beneath a row of your brothers and sisters, all of them whining and crying about how bad they got it. Or else you ' re left alone, jammed way down in some guy ' s smelly gym bag with all his dirty socks and shirts and I don ' t want to know what else. It stinks in there. It ' s hot. And you ' re all alone, except for your mortal enemy. The tennis racquet. Tennis racquets have a sadistic streak a mile wide. Two miles wide. They actually laugh when they smack into you, and let me tell you. it hurts to be hit with all those strings. Imagine getting a waffle iron 61 i I pounded into your face, over and over and over. Think that feels good? You do? You ' re sick, then. You ' re a regular sick-o. And its not enough that 1 have to get smacked around by a racquet — oh no! That ' d be too nice. That ' d be too sweet. No — I get bounced against walls, fences, cars, the heads of bystanders, shoved into the mouths of dogs, into storm drains, left on house roofs. No con- trol. 1 try to escape sometimes by rolling as far and as fast as 1 can but I always get caught. The worse part is, 1 don ' t know what color I am! Am 1 yellow? Lime? What exactly is all this fuzz all over me, and why did Wilson feel the need to brand me? No, you don ' t got problems. Let me tell you. You got it easy. I go back and forth and back and forth and bouncebouncebounce smack! Day in, day out. Bouncebouncebounce smack! 1 travel miles and miles a day and never get nowhere. Last week, some guy tried to cut me in half. He kept telling his friends he wanted to see if the rumour was true — that I ' m filled up with a special kind of toxic gas that makes me so bounceable. He kept jabbing his pocket knife into me and I kept rolling away from him till finally he gave up. So if you get nothing from this little talk, get this: There ain ' t no toxic gas inside of me or any of my brothers or sisters, so stop cutting us in half! That hurts. And, by the way, there ain ' t no plutonium core in golf balls — that is a vicious lie started by billiard balls during the Great Ball War of ought-six, when the cue balls attempted an alliance with cue sticks and golf clubs. Now leave me alone. 1 got a game to win.

A Lions game, whether it be football or bas- ketball, would simply not be the same if the spectators could not join in the spirit of the cheerlead- ers. These students take as their commitment to please the crowds, support the players, and pump the fans full of the energy to continue to shout encouragement when things go well and when difficulties arise on the court or on the field. The cheerleaders comprise two teams: the all-girl squad and the coed squad. The two teams work just as hard together as they do apart. The season for these dedicated student athletes begins with try- outs in early March. After they are selected by a panel of judges, they undergo weeks of training and practice in order to perfect the ! «  i f« routines that the fans know and love. It doesn ' t stop there, however. The cheerleaders commit to a prac- tice at least twice a week for approximately three hours a week. During the football season, the coed squad cheers for all games, while the all-girl squad takes part only at home games. The practice that these stu- dents undergo for the football sea- son doesn ' t end when football sea- son does. From November to February, both groups of cheer- leaders continue their rigorous practices, in support of the basket- ball Lions. Though the practices and games themselves can be trying, the thrill of hearing the crowd scream and yell in excitement over a stunt performed by either of the squads is indeed a rewarding experience. — Anne Beam THANK YOU FOR FLYING UNA.

KEEP IT UP! The com- petition is fierce as each organization fights to earn precious points. 70 Participants experience competition In Its purest form In Intramural Qamee Since 1988, clubs and other organizations on campus have competed in various sports events. The events are divided between women and men, then organized into teams. Events include bowling, track. Softball, Trivial Pursuit, table tennis, basket- ball, spades and flag football. Many of the teams are made up of sorority or fraternity members, and graduate assistant for Intramural Sports and Recreation Matt Byars expressed a desire to see more participation from individual teams. This season included competition from Phi Mu, Zeta Tau Alpha, Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Delta Pi, PE Majors, Rice Hall, Lady BCM. Lagrange Hall. Cooperative Campus Ministries (men and women). Pike, Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma, Alpha Tau Omega, Fiji, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Men ' s BCM, 803 inc.. River Rats, Seminoles, and the Young Turks. The teams compete on a point system, with the only prize being recognition. The overall winners for each year have their names added to the appropriate trophy. At this writing, (and as of November ' 99), Phi Mu held on to a small margin with 1,000 points in the women ' s division. Close behind were ZTA with 937 points, and Alpha Gamma Delta with 936 points. Sigma Chi led the way in the men ' s division with a strong 1,390 points, with Pike ' s 1.185 points and SAEs 1,089 points giving them strong competition. — Marc Mitchell 71 I 9 s B 1 4 M i '  - ;• . ' M U, ' The Costanza Solution. When word reached the staffs office that the camera (not the photographer) had ruined every last portrait photo of the student body, we were at a loss as to what to do. A student yearbook with- out students seemed as pointless as a newspaper without news or a desk calendar without dates. The photog- rapher agreed to return to campus and retake as many pictures as pos- sible within a three-day span, but it had been hard enough getting the students to show up once. Getting them to return in force for a second sitting, and in less time, proved impossible. The portraits section of the yearbook was going to be pretty skimpy, and while we had a little time to take additional pictures, the visit- ing photographer could not spare a single extra day. We would be unable to match the look and feel of the orig- inal portraits — our university pho- tographer was willing to dedicate time to take additional photos but those additions would stick out like a fat, bald neurotic man in a maximum- security prison. The solution? Photographs trans- formed via computer from standard mug shots into line-art, with the emphasis on art.

Green, Green Grass of Home, and Make the World Go Away. He has published thousands of other hit songs, some while working with the founder of Tree Music Publishing Company. Originally in Florence to debut his new album, Killen took time to answer questions and pass on his knowledge to an attentive songwriting class. His busy schedule also included a performance of songs from his new album at the Muscle Shoals Songwriters Conference, and at half-time during a home football game at Braly Stadium.

He has I a little note card trick. You put down your name and some I information about yourself on a note card and he memo- ! rizes it. What ' s amazing is that he never forgets. He knows ; hundreds of people. , As a present student in Green ' s World Regional 1 Geography class, 1 speak from personal experience. 1 have j learned more since the beginning of this semester about i the world around me and how 1 relate to it than I ever ! thought possible. In Green ' s class, it isn ' t about memo- rization or getting great grades. It ' s about learning and retaining what you learn. Japan, India, population con- centrations, atlases, all have meaning that comes alive through Green ' s teaching. His lectures mix emotions as he speaks humorously of subjects from raw okra to how Datsun got its name, and sumo wrestlers. He speaks of tragedy — young chil- dren dying from a lack of medical attention in foreign countries, the hardships of the caste system, and the cen- trifugal forces that divide a countiy. He speaks with disap- proval of those who do not recognize the value of grits and sweet potatoes. Green ' s doors are always open to ques- tions, comments, or just for a friendly visit, and 1 can not count the number of time 1 and others have taken him up on this offer. His office has a comfy, cluttered atmosphere with memories, past and present, spilling out of every nook and cranny, filling the room with laughter and rea- son for being. The most incredible thing about Mr. Green is that he strives to educate every student. To him, education is not only empowerment, it also gives one the means to be of sei-vice to those around them. This is extremely important in today ' s society, where education is a necessity. Green teaches many invaluable lessons about learning, and for this I cannot help but be always grateful. — Amy Beam (aka L.L. Bean) 85 , i fifffflH Anna McLemore speaks about Campus Health Services, commonly called The Infirmary, with pride. McLemore has been director of the infirmary for 16 years. She has seen many positive changes, and seen many new services put in place. And the services at Bennett Infirmary make up quite a list. Some such services are: EKGs, pulmonary studies, sutures, pelvic exams. X-rays, and allergy shots. Bennett Infirmary is also equipped to do blood work that tests for mononucleosis, pregnancy, and strep throat. These lab services are provided in-house, while other blood work procedures are done at Shoals Medical. Also on the list of its services, Bennett cam fill most any prescription at lower cost to the student than elsewhere. The Health Center works on a cost-recovery basis, which means good news for the financially struggling student. Students are only charged what the infirmary is charged for supplies. And monthly educational programs are offered on such topics as breast self-exams, oral contraceptives, and AIDS. Bennett also offers vision and hearing evalua- tions. Prescriptions cannot be written for corrective devices, but a student can find out if, and to what extent, vision or hearing may be impaired. The sound- proof booth and vision machine used for these evalua- tions were donated to the Infirmary by TVA. Other equip- ment at Bennett includes four treatment rooms. X-ray equip- ment, and the experienced hands of registered nurses, two THE HOME FOR CURES. Bennett Infirmary is a welcome sight for sick students. WELL-EQUIPPED.

Campus Health Care staff physicians are Dr. Bobby King and Dr. Patricia Auxier, available by appointment on Mindays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The counselor. Dr. Alana Spampneto, is also available by appointment. A new addition to the staff is a physical therapist from HealthSouth who comes to evaluate orthopedic injuries. The physical therapist is available on Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. until 12:30. To take advantage of the various services pro- vided by Campus Health Services, students only need make an appointment (if necessary) and pre- sent their ID. Upon arrival, students will be asked to fill out a form and a medical chart will be made. All patient information is held in strict confidence. A release form must be signed by the student before anyone can have access to the records. This includes parents! The number to Bennett Infirmary is 765- 4328 or 765-4302. Bennett Infirmary provides students access to major medical evaluations at a fraction of the cost of seeing a regular physician. We can do anything your physician can do, plus. said McLemore, director of Campus Health Services. — Amanda Wood 86 It ' i ihe ' Nane ' thing For years now the changing customs of currency ive been steadily gaining acceptance all over the 3rld. The media of exchange have gone through many ages of evolution: from gold coins and colored bits of iper. to checks and credit cards. Of late, however, chnology is lending its hand to the latest mutation of is beast by way of computers. The thinking box now lows us to bound from day to day, credit card in hand, )ending only the time it takes for us to make our prod- :t selection. And now, our university is doing its part ith the advent of the Mane Card. The Mane Card provides students easy access to eir funds without the hassle of other common forms currency. The card, which was established in inuary of 1999, combines the current student ID with pre-paid debit account maintained by the university r on-campus use. It is currently accepted by most on- impus vending machines, as well as the University Bookstore and the Off-Campus Bookstore, and Domino ' s Pizza, in addition to all campus dining areas. The Mane Card is supervised by Pam Boykin, whose administrative duties include account mainte- nance and acting as liaison between the university and the participating vendors on campus. Prior to coming here over a year ago, she served three years as the coor- dinator of a debit card system at Samford University. Convenience seems to be the hallmark of the Mane Card success. This sentiment is echoed by Florian Dvorski, a student, ' The reason I use the card is for the fact that it affords myself the luxury of not having to carry around sizable amounts of cash or loose change. Not only has the Mane Card proven successful among resident students, it is also a popular method of pay- ment for commuters. 1 was kind of surprised, really because commuters are using it as much as residents. It ' s really convenient for them because a lot of them are here eating lunch every day as well as using the vending machines. So, the commuters are really using it a lot more than I expected, Boykin said. The future holds numerous advances for the Mane card, including online account maintenance, as well as installation of debit card readers with the mail room. Public Safety, and the Bennett Infirmary. New vendors such as fast food chains, gas stations, tanning salons, and movie rental stores are also being considered as future participants. ' The future is here, kids, and the Mane Card is an example of the university ' s fearless charge into the digi- tal age. — Jason Markus ri Cf B IINTVERSITY of NORTH I..

[3 get by wlik a llliilla kdp j tom my {ftiendg) It seemed so right to skip college and just jump into the real world head-first and full force upon graduating from high school. Drawing from such musical inspiration as Alice Cooper ' s School ' s Out and Pink Floyd ' s Another Brick in the Wall. I. like so many others, put blackboards, textbooks, pop quizzes and formal learning in my past. Ahhh, sweet freedom! Seven years and umpteen billion dead-end jobs later, the revelation finally hit: The pursuit of educa- tion would surely be a positive and pro-active endeavor. Initially the college experience was quite a shock. I was no teenager any more and I didn ' t fit in with the general student population. I was a child of the ' 80s and a generation removed from everyone else. Or so it seemed. I began slowly to become aware of other old geezers like me walking around campus with back- packs slung over their shoulders, not quite fitting in. Then 1 discovered that the over-25 actually had a designated gathering place, a haven tucked away into a cozy little corner of the GUC. They had a kitchen, a coffee maker, lockers, and several comfy sofas and chairs. Soon 1 had become one of them, and, as the throngs of the young and the hip filled the dining area of the GUC to brimming, I too had a place to belong — in the RESA lounge. Suddenly, my classes got easier and my days happier as I realized that I was not alone but rather I was a part of the rapidly growing population of adults returning to learning in a decidedly brave effort to make a better life for them- selves and their families. RESA members are a diverse population. Some have small children at home while some have teenagers. Some have returned to college to study alongside their own children and some after welcom- ing grandchildren into the world. Others, like me, look at these fellow members who somehow manage to successfully juggle school, work and family life, and stand in awe of their never-ending energy and positive attitudes. Sometimes I wonder just exactly how they manage to maintain sanity as they keep their own grades up while working to bring home the bacon, then cooking it up and feeding it to the kids while helping them with their homework before doing homework themselves. But then I just look around me. I ' m surrounded with kind and caring friends who draw their inspira- tion from another sort of song entirely: We get by with a little help from our friends. — Tanjie Nash J[ dtjje ient kind oj Jai iy iah: lice [ tm eefeb iate success on tdc cou. ' it S ia tdc c ass ioom Once upon a time — in August of 1996 — two sisters from Merrillville, Ind., arrived on the campus to begin their careers as student athletes. Four years later, Rachel and Ronda Price prepare to depart, degrees in hand, as prime examples of college athletes who have achieved success on the court and in the classroom. Rachel, who is majoring in physics and chem- istry with a minor in math, has a 3.99 GPA. Ronda, who is majoring in chemistry and biology with a minor in math, has a 3.75 GPA. Ronda has said the key to her success has been discipline and time management, which playing volleyball has helped her develop. With practice every day, and away games, which cause you to have to miss class, you learn quickly to take advantage of the time you have avail- able, said Ronda, but its all been worth it. The awards they have won have recognized not only their prowess as two of the finest volleyball players to play in the Gulf South Conference, but their achievements in learning, both having been named Academic All-GSC in 1997 and ' 98. In 1997 Ronda won the GSC Commissioner ' s Trophy, which recognizes the leagues top female student athlete, and in 1999 Rachel was the recipient. Of all the awards she has won, Rachel is most proud of the Commissioner ' s Trophy because, it is based on what you have done in school as well as in sports. When discussing the reasons for the success of the volleyball team, the twins are quick to deflect the praise from themselves and heap it upon their team- mates. Along with the three other seniors on the team, Christy Barefield, Lana Fishback. and Deja Trojan, they have combined for 5,91 1 kills, 565 ser- vice aces, over 4,000 digs, and 1,200 blocks. As of the end of the 1999 regular season their won-loss record was an incredible 151-21. I just think the world of them [their team- mates], said Ronda. We are all such close friends and we hang out all the time. It ' s really been great and I ' m going to miss them all. The twins agree that the greatest moment in their volleyball careers was in 1998, when the Lions won the NCAA Division 11 South Central Regional Tournament and advanced to the Elite Eight. ' Three times in high school we had advanced to the regional finals, and twice before in college, so that ' s five times we had gotten to that point but lost. said Rachel. When Deja hit that ball in the champi- onship game and it went off the block and out of bounds I was just so excited that we had finally been able to get past that point. I ' m glad we got to go down to Florida and experience that together. In 1998 Rachel and Ronda ' s sister, Erin, came to UNA and joined her sisters on the volleyball team. Rachel and Ronda were thrilled to have their little sister with them. Erin was redshirted that season, so she did not play. However, this year, on more than one occasion. Coach Matt Peck has had all three Prices on the floor at the same time. I ' m so glad she is here and that we get to play together, because I just love her to death, said Ronda. It would be great if our brother could be here too. Both are plan- ning on going to graduate school. Rachel is undecided about what she would like to study. Ronda would like to go to medical school, but hasn ' t decided what area of medicine she would like to spe- cialize in. Peck believes that no matter what direction their lives take after they leave UNA, the Price twins will suc- ceed in endeavors. Ronda Rachel are dedicated, their and very said Peck. They want to do the best no mat- ' ' ' ° ' ° ' ' ' shannon Wells ter what they are doing. — Dean Manning VICTORY! Rachel (above left) and Ronda Price celebrate another victory shared with their teammates and friends. 89 w .J AWAREKEI I 1 THE KET 90 For one week each year, campus organizations encourage students to explore issues surrounding the use of alcohol. During that week, students leam the adverse effects alcohol has on the body, learn how it feels to try to function normally with their senses impaired, leam how closely alcohol and addiction are linked, and they honor and remember those who have been killed in drunk driving accidents, and see first- hand what one of those accidents looks like. Alcohol Awareness Week, held in October, was an educational experience for all. Every morning during the week, members of campus and community organi- zations promoting alcohol awareness were on hand with displays in the Guillot Center to answer questions and hand out information booklets. To start the week, the Panhellenic Council and the University Bookstore sponsored Free Root Beer Floats. Students could sip on a satisfying, yet non-alcoholic beverage while waiting in line to try the dread Vision Impaired Goggles, sponsored by the Office of Public Safety and the Interfraternity Council, Impaired, stu- dents tried shooting a basketball or riding a tricycle, trying to make out the world through eyes impaired as though through the influence of alcohol. Those waiting in line could witness firsthand the effects, as the bas- ketballs went everywhere but the basket, and the tricy- cle rides were just a disaster. On Tuesday, students were treated to two pro- grams conducted by Sandra Osbom, RN, CHBC, spon- sored by Bradford Health Services and UNA Health Services. The programs, Alcoholism and Addiction, showed students how quickly light drinking can turn into despair. That night, the Victory Flame was illumi- nated, but not with a victorious blaze — the mournful flicker of dozens of candles cast shadows on the Flame, each candle honoring and remembering those who have either died or lost a loved one in a drunk-driving accident. Sponsored by BACCHUS, the vigil was intended to make students think twice about drinking and then getting behind the wheel. After the vigil, award -winning speaker Pete Collins, brought to cam- pus by UPC. delivered his message through tales of his life as a highway patrolman. On Wednesday, the presentations closed with a Family Issues program, as well as Dare to Care, ' conducted by the ECM Emergency Room nurses. Both programs showed students how important community outreach really is, and that it ' s possible to help some- HARSH REALITY loppositc page).

Not everyone gets a chance to learn from mistakes. NEGLIGENCE BEGETS TRAGEDY. Drunk driving can cost both the life of the victim and the lifelong grief of the survivors, the mock accident showed. one else who has a problem. If the candlelight vigil and Captain Pete Collins made students think about drunk driving, the mock accident Wednesday afternoon positively scared them into action. Students got a chance to witness all the sirens, whistles and grief during the simulation of an accident result- ing from driving under the influence. Sponsored by UNA and American Medical Response, the program ended Alcohol Awareness Week with a punch. Through the effort of many campus and community organizations, students were afforded the opportunity to learn through others, instead of through their own mistakes. The week ultimately proved that awareness is the key to prevention. — Kristin Burt iVlore than just omputers liking up to the Business Office window, I pay my tuition once again. The lady assisting me immediately turns to a com- puter and using my Social Security num- ber, obtains access to my entire educa- tional history (and possibly more). I con- tinue on my errands and direct my walk to the Distance Learning room in Stevens Hall to collect the materials I will need to take a class for which 1 will never need 92 lay eyes on my professor. As a vir- tual clock resounds 10 computer- generated dongs over the campus, I run to the Academic Resource Center, one of the many computer labs on campus, knowing that 1 will probably be late for work again. Ours is the century of change, most noticeably techno- logical change. I was not always a child of my century. When 1 first started working for Angela Johns in the ARC — Academic Resource Center — two years ago, 1 had only been on the internet a total of 10 hours in my entire life. Like most people who do not know much about computers, I feared them, and I was pronounced computer illiter- ate. Now, do not think that this is meant only to be a success story ; it isn ' t. However, due to my situation, 1 have taken advantage over the past two years of watching the changes accelerating toward the end of the cen- tury. The first change for the ARC was remodeling the old arcade room in the Guillot University Center into a computer lab for students. Mrs. Alice Dill, an English professor, assumed dual roles of director of the ARC and director of International Students. She, among oth- ers, worked, helped, and devoted immeasurable amounts of time to setting up of the ARC. Finally in the spring of 1994, the Academic Resource Center underwent its grand open- ing, and Angela Johns assumed the title of coordi- nator by 1996. In the beginning, the ARC housed 24 MS-DOS computers and 10 Mac- intoshes. All had Word Perfect 5. 1 and no internet access. After four years of that, students started com- plaining about their lack of speed (though to me, when I arrived, they were the Jbest things that had hit •planet earth). However, I was soon caught up in the swing of technology and, undergoing a change myself in confidence and knowledge, began as well to com- plain of their lack of speed and limited capabilities. The long-awaited upgrade took place at the beginning of this year, adding to the list of changes that have made this computer lab what it is today. Ms. Johns was surprised one afternoon with boxes holding 25 new PCs, every one equipped for access to the internet. Also included was the network printer, the much-dread- ed one and only form of printing for all poor college students. One of the best assets the ARC possesses is being more than just a computer lab. When 1 first walked into Room 114 of the Guillot University Center, 1 was pleasantly surprised by the sight of contemporary paintings hung all around the lab area, giving the place a soft touch not often seen in computer labs. It was only after I had begun to work for Ms. Johns that I realized the most comfort- able sofas on campus were sitting off in one of the corners, forming a study area. It is here that several tutors and faculty members freely offer their time and services. The volunteer mentor and tutor pro- gram, being one of the many changes that have taken place over the past five years, is one of the greatest benefits students have at the university. It is said that the only thing that is constant in this crazy world is change. This statement especially applies to this century of technological advancements. And, the Academic Resource Center is a means of that kind of advancement for students and fac- ulty alike. — Anne Beam t TECHNOLOGY FOR STUDENT LIFE.

The film, which starre d an impressive list of actors, including Montgomery Clift, Frank Sinatra, Burt Lancaster and Donna Reed, was a water- shed event for Borgnine. He spoke fondly of his co-stars and confessed that he had been so excited to meet Sinatra that he had almost peed his shorts. Then, laugh- ing, he added Sinatra proved to be a great friend during filming. Born in 1917, in Hamden, Conn., Borgnine joined the Navy shortly after graduating from high school. Ten years later, he left the service as a chief gunner ' s mate and enrolled in the Randall School of Dramatic Arts in Hartford. s His film debut was in the 1 95 1 adven- ture film China Corsair. Following his leg- c endary role in From Here to Eternity, Borgnine went on to win an Academy Award for the screen adaptation of the I play Marty. 5 In addition to the Oscar, he won both i an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his per- formance in the television movie All Quiet on the Western Front. 95 ' ■ - l« s S ' LOOKING AT THE CAMERA.

And, as if on cue, Borgnine ' s bear-hug smile spread across his face. Of the scripts. Dr. Warren said, ' The university is exceedingly fortunate to be the recipient of such an outstanding col- lection of movie and television scripts. The collection is unique, not only for the vari- ety of subjects and timeframe it spans, but also because it includes the script for which Mr. Borgnine received the Oscar, Marty. These materials significantly strengthen the university ' s resources in the areas of film and television, and will serve to inspire students and scholars to come. The script dedication was followed the next day by Borgnine ' s commencement speech. Lacey Howard, a graduating senior who attended the ceremony, said, Ernest Borgnine was the best graduation spcciker ever. No one slept through it, or had other conversations. The entire hall was com- pletely mesmerized by his daring to state the obvious — those things that we are all afraid to say out loud. Borgnine ' s speech listed paradoxes of modern life. He observed that ' These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep prof- its, and shallow relationships. In addition to commencement recog- nition of UNA ' S graduates, Borgnine him- self received an honorary doctorate of humane letters from the university. — Marc Mitchell JUST LISTEN. Borgnine ' s stage presence commands an audience as he delivers his thought-provoking remarks. THAT ' S DR. BORGNINE TO YOU.

SARA WRIGHT Tuscumbia m 112 Patricia Blum was hired as the new director of Career Services in July 1999 to replace the retiring Beverly Cheney. In just her first few months, Blum made several changes and additions to the office in order to reach out to the students. We are in the business of serving students, Blum said, therefore, we must do everything in our power to assist students. One of the first additions to the Career Services office was the Resume Center: a computer, type- writer, laser printer and copier station for students to come in and work on their resumes and applications. The Resume Center is part of what 1 like to call our ' open door policy ' to students, Blum said. We want students to feel comfort- able coming into our office and giving them a place to work on their resume was a good way to do it. Blum said not only can stu- dents work on and print copies in the office, but they can also have their resumes critiqued by one of the staff members. There are some right and wrong things to know about resumes and some trends that companies look for Career Services ehowe students that there ie life after college pari and don ' t look for in resumes, Blum said. What we try to do is to pass as much of that infor- mation that we know about on to the students so that they can have the kind of resumes that are going to be effective for them when they are interviewing for a job or anything else they might need a resume for. In addition to the Resume Center, Career Services also offers a num- ber of programs to assist students along the career path. We also have individualized employment counseling where we can help students search for jobs in their fields or figure out what it is that they want to major or find a career in, Blum said. We do this in part through a number of interest inventories that we offer to students through our office. Career Services also has a mock interview program (for stu- dents who want to practice their interviewing skills); full time, sum- mer, and part-time job listings on boards outside the office; and a resource library with information on interviewing, resume writing, careers in various fi elds, graduate school, and some companies and employers. Blum also redesigned the Career Services web page to include some valuable information for students about choosing a major career, the job search, cooperative education information and some frequently asked ques- tions about what Career Services is and does. A lot of people think Career Services is the place you come the semester before you graduate and we help you find a job, Blum till said. It ' s true that part of what ij ' ' ' do is help graduating seniors flip ' job interviews, but there is ;li much more that we can do for st; ' dents and we wanted to get th message out to them. There is also a place on tl web page that gives students sor information about jobs associat with various majors at UNA. We also have a link on tl web page called ' What Can I I With a Major In? ' which gives st dents a list of the kind of j opportunities associated with th majors, Blum said. Career Services teamed i with Jobtrak.com, the largest cU most popular on-line job listli service in the college market, provide a job posting and resun database service accessible to i students and alumni 24 hoursli. day via the internet. We are excited about pa nering with Jobtrak.com, Blul said. Utilizing our jobtrak.co database will give our studen| many job opportunities, access career resources from a Internet-linked computer, enablii them to be more marketable f the new millennium. Career Services also spoi sored workshops called Need Job? Find a Career! in the fa According to Blum, the workshc focused on the basics of resum and cover-letter writing as well some interviewing and networkl; skills for students. The workshops again we another attempt to reach out the UNA students and let the] know that we are here to he them in any way that we ca Blum said. I thought it would a good way to get some inform;] tion about resumes, cover lettei and interviewing skills to the st I dents. Blum said Career Sen ' ices has many plans for the future. One she was particularly excited about was the pro- posed Alumni Mentoring program. I Certain departments have begun work on this idea, but the campus as a whole has little or no connection between lalumni and current students in many disciplines, Blum said. Career Services is going to be asking lumni for assistance with placement and lentoring activities for current students, lumni who wish to offer assistance will e able to go to our website to register nh a database that will then be shared ith interested students. These students ill then be paired with alumni in their eld of interest who will enable them to ■arn more about their future career or le world of work in general. Blum said most of all. she wanted to •t more and more students know about le kinds of resources that Career ervices offer to them and how they can ip into these resources while still in 3hool. — Jay Skipworth ADVICE DISPENSER.

Nearly every morning for four entire seasons they woke me up at the crack of dawn, digging and banging around. After living the college life for as long as 1 have, 1 regard any annoy- ance before 10 a.m. as unwar- ranted and unwel- come. At first, 1 was polite about the disturbance. I decided to sit proudly in their sight and stare them down, confident that my mighty glare alone would halt the chaos and make the men scurry away. 1 was wrong. In fact, the men continued about their work as if they didn ' t notice me at all. This utter disregard only annoyed me further. I then decided to make my pres- ence better known by standing tall and voicing my opinion on the matter. 1 paced back and forth with thunderous might, staring harder now, and grunting my disapproval of the commotion the men were mak- ing. A few took notice, but their work proceeded with- out pause. 1 was angry now. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I was ready to show those men that I could be louder and more disturbing than they could ever dream of being With a fina glare and m; lungs full morning air, roared until th ' windows at Bibl Graves anc Willingham visi bly shook as ; testament to m; request to hal the noise. Th men turne( with their eye full of amaze ment, finall; acknowledging my plea — or 1 thought. Afte a brief pause, the clamor resumed and 1 soon realizet that the men were here to stay. No more lazy mom ings for Leo, 1 heard one of them say. He should than] his lucky stars that the cage was separating us. Once 1 had come to terms with my defeat, I tool special interest in their project. It looked as though th men were making some improvements to the neighbor hood. A new wing of Keller Hall, President Pott explained to a couple of visitors while they were admii ing me. As the autumn leaves fell around the trie President Potts told the story of a man who graduate ' from our university and became quite a success. Th man, Herbert Raburn, was so appreciative of the edu cation he had gotten here that he decided to give some thing in return. It will be called the Raburn Wing, rw T — 1 President Potts proclaimed, as he and the visitors strolled away. After hearing this, I decided that 1 could tolerate the noise and disruption for a short while. Anything to make the scenery more interesting and my admirers more frequent was worth the temporary inconvenience. Four seasons and many early mornings later, the men are finally gone. Just when things were getting back to normal. President Potts decided to throw a big party outside of Keller Hall where the men had been working. There were smiling people, flashing cameras, and a big bow covering the entrance. 1 saw a man with a big grin, and an even bigger pair of scissors, cut the ribbon and welcome people through the doors. When the party ended, I decided to settle in for a well- deserved nap. Just as I was drifting off, I heard a tiny whisper from the other side of my cage. Hey Leo, I heard the voice say, Sorry about all of the commotion around here lately, but 1 thought the old place could use some sprucing up. 1 raised an eyelid and saw the man with the scissors standing before me. Realizing that this was the nice Mr. Raburn, the grateful alumnus President Potts had talked about, I swished my tail around a bit to let him know that 1 understood. Thanks Leo, he said, maybe next time we can see about adding a wing onto your house. Actually, 1 made up the last part. But hey, who can blame a lion for dreaming? — Tracy Brady 117 PRCA prepares students for real-vorld vork What exactly is Public Relations? The question is one being explored by many PR students on cam- pus. The answer? It ' s everything. PR is a little bit of marketing with some advertising thrown in; it ' s tak- ing a situation and making it work for the public, or for your company; it ' s the speech that the CEO gives, or the press release you hear in the middle of a scan- dal; it both protects and informs the public; it holds a company together from the boiler room to the exec- utive suite; it is involved in almost every aspect of every profession. Public relations is a multi-faceted field of study, and your job as a public relations professional could have you on the hunt, researching for a story or for a company. You could find yourself in front of the cam- eras, representing a large company to the public with questions being fired at you from all sides. You could be repairing fractured relationships within your own company, or presenting a better side of your compa- ny to an unforgiving public. Don ' t expect to be credit- ed for your work — the challenge is to get the job done, and make it look so smooth that no one knows you were ever there. You are behind the scenes, and in the trenches. And when a play that you ' ve promot- ed is successful, or an event that you planned saves a company, you will know what it ' s like to love your job. The Public Relations Council of Alabama is the student public relations organization on campus, offering its members many opportunities. PRCA members meet twice monthly. The first meeting often involves learning about different jobs in the commu- MEDALLION WIN- NERS. Members of PRCA left the annual conference with arms full of awards. nications field and listening to guest speakers. The second m.eeting of each month is a work meeting, where students get hands-on experience, and a chance to work on the organization ' s latest cam- paign. PRCA also affords students the opportunity to network, or meet professionals in their chosen field. Students attend monthly luncheons and large con- ventions, meeting people from many facets of work in the Public Relations field. For the duration of their membership, each student compiles everything that they ' ve done to build a portfolio. This portfolio will be used to show future employers exactly what the stu- dents are made of. The PRCA conference is held every year to recog- nize and educate public relations professionals in i Alabama. The convention is open to professionals who are members of PRCA, and also to college stu- dents who are members of their student chapter of PRCA. In addition to workshops, the convention is held to recognize both professionals and students for out- standing achievements in their field. PRCA students find the convention an excellent way to network. The PRCA Medallion Awards Ceremony is held at the conclusion of the convention. This past con- vention. Public Relations senior Lori Lxjftin received three awards for entries she had submitted, and UNA graduate Veronica Wilder would take home five awards after the ceremony, including Student of the Year. PRCA sponsors a number of projects throughout 118 Photos courtesy of PRCA the semester. Its main project for the fall semester was publicizing the UNA fall production of The Skin of Our Teeth. PRCA was responsible for writing press releases and feature stories, and prepar- ing a press kit. PRCA also helped to place posters around Florence, and the Shoals area. The professional effects of the pro- ject were threefold: it encouraged stu- dents to gain skills in working together as a team, while offering an outlet for them to network and also have some of their writing published. Success breeds suc- cess, and PRCA looked forward to han- dling the publicity for the spring 2000 production of Guys and Dolls. Adviser Lisa Darnell makes sure that her students are prepared to practice PR in the real world. Her hands-on approach to class work ensures that graduates in the program not only have a degree, but the experience of working on several cam- paigns before they even make an appoint- ment for their first job interview. Students know exactly what they ' re get- ting into, and they love every second of it. PRCA allows students to develop their sense of campaign style, and to explore which area they ' d like to special- ize in. It affords students the opportunity that many people never have: not to just work so they can live, but to live for their work. — Lori Loftin, Shannen Ridinger STUDENT OF THE YEAR.

PRCA members Mandy Maddox and Lori Loftin take time for a snap- shot with visiting actors Ernest Borgnine and George Lindsey. Borg- nine ' s latest film had its premiere on campus, at the 1999 George Lind- sey Television Film Festival. 119 lome feared ihe end off the world, but we made the iraniiffion into YIH without a icratch. 120 While the Y2K bug proved to be the largest non-event since Guy Fawkes, the entrance into the millennium was not without incident. Russian President Boris Yeltsin proved not to be Y2K compliant — he malfunctioned on December 31 and left office. However, the promised blackouts, computer crashes, terrorist plots and subsequent apocalypse did not occur. Most of my New Year ' s Eve day was spent at my trusty iMac, waiting to get live feed of terrorist bombings or, at the very least, errant warheads pelting downtown Manhattan with nuclear blasts. The only truly disturbing thing 1 saw was on a webcam from Germany — an extremely large, hirsute woman stripped off her clothes for an international audience and danced around her living room with a cat, celebrating her country ' s entrance into the year 2000. Even though the refresh rate was a slow 30 seconds, 1 could see her cellulite jiggling in time to Auld Lang Syne. At ten, two hours before Florence ' s own New Year ' s celebration, a friend and alum of UNA came over for a quiet party, dragging her reluctant husband with her. We drank Jagermeister and egg nog, played Woody Allen DVDs and Dylan CDs, searched the net for odd or stupid sites and discussed the inconvenience of my new navel ring (the actual piercing didn ' t hurt at all but flopping down on my stom- ach, laughing and taking off my shirt hurts a lot). When the magic minute hit, 1 was doing a slurring, but serviceable. Woody impression. We did not notice the passage of the ' 90s until 15 minutes into the new year. My impression of Woody was that good. So the Y2K bug turned out to be more of a gnat than a housefly, which made me wonder what the conscientious citizens who stocked up on bottled water and canned goods did with their rations. Amanda, the friend, told me about going to Wal-Mart a few days earlier. ' The entire bottled water aisle was wiped out. People were standing in the center of the aisle, staring at the total lack of anything on the shelves. It ' s very Zen to see empty shelves at Wal-Mart. She also told me about her visit to the buy-in-bulk Sam ' s Club. ' There was a woman who was desperate to have asparagus. She must ' ve bought ten cases of canned asparagus. 1 heard her tell the check-out guy that she needed it all for Y2K. Amanda, her husband and I won- dered what the woman had planned to do with ten cases of asparagus in the event of a technological Armageddon. Amanda suggested maybe the asparagus could be burned for fuel while 1 hypothesized that- perhaps, if reduced to recycling her own urine, the woman thought the asparagus might add a more palatable flavor. Plus, it ' ll be green, 1 continued. It ' ll be like drinking Mountain Dew. A few months before, I had caught a story on CNN about a guy (probably in Montana) who had stockpiled weapons and had converted a used 1970s El Camino into a Road Warrior battle vehi- cle. Instead of gasoline, the car was able to run on water or garbage or something, and there were AK-47s mounted on both the hood and the tailgate. The guy told the reporter, Laugh at me if you want, but come January 1, 2000, I ' ll be having to keep them away from this car, which, he predicted, would be one of few working vehicles in the country. After Y2K, though, I cannot imagine such a vehicle would have any practical use for anyone except, perhaps, the U.S. Army and high school kids. Although mounting machine guns to my Hyundai is an appealing idea to me personally, espe- cially during rush hour and on Sunday afternoons, 1 am sure there is a law pro- hibiting such accouterments. Prior to the 1999 2000 change-over, neo-Luddite products flooded the con- sumer market.

While many feared the new year would bring chaos similar to what one might find at a sponsored car bash, above, instead, year 2000 ushered itself in without disas- ter, and students found themselves still working together, like UNA students Tugrul Polat and Michael Caine. shown in the photo at left taking part in a Habitat for Humanity wall-raising. (instead, a person wanting to hear Lite 99 or All-Talk Radio could simply crank the radio, in much the same way people used to crank cars and phono- graphs). Gas generator sales shot through the roof. Portable, disposable toilets were selling, as well (in case water service became unreliable). While the world was moving ahead into the 21st century, a lot of people were counting on the return of the 19th century instead. In the end, the new year looked a lot like the old. There were still wars, famine, disease, poverty, Danielle Steele books, ignorance, political upheaval, social inequality, etc., etc. Also, computers ran smoothly, no blackouts occurred, kitchen appliances didn ' t flip out and ATMs continued dispensing cash. Many students expressed hope for the future. — Marc Mitchell I My roommate iooi€ lome fprecautioni, but he wai partyinoi lo he wain ' i too irorried .

Spend two years in the Peace Corps: check. Join the Army: check. Wait, back up. The Peace Corps, then the Army? Not a conventional beginning, but Major Kip Chojnacki (HOY-NOT- SKI) is someone who can take something unconventional and turn it into an advantage. More important, he is teaching ROTC stu- dents at UNA how to do exactly that. Much like many of my students, 1 could not decide what direction my life would take. But 1 knew one thing: it wasn ' t happening in the steel factories of Chicago where 1 worked. It turned out to be the single most important decision of my life. The remote location of my assignment, the hardships of living in a Third World coun- try, and the challenge of teaching new ideas in a foreign lan- guage would well prepare me for my career in the military. After completing his last assignment with the Special Operations Command, the self-described Army guy jumped at the opportunity to be an ROTC instructor at UNA. UNA offered an opportunity to explore the possibility of becoming a teacher and whether I had the guts to survive the experience. It is now time to pass my experiences to the new generation and future leadership of the Army. The 122 most rewarding aspect of Chojnacki ' s current assignment has been his interaction with students, and the cadets in the ROTC program. My participa- tion with the UNA Ranger Challenge team this year was distinctly memorable. Our team displayed guts and determination that made me feel like a proud father. The expressions on the faces of students that overcame their fear of heights for the first time on the 40-foot rappel tower is priceless. The sense of accomplishment and the reinforced confidence in each and every student is reward enough. As he prepares for his next assignment. Major Chojnacki hopes that his lessons remain after he ' s gone. 1 hope the impression I leave with my students is one of their ability to realize their full potential, to not be afraid to experience new adventure, that they can achieve unreachable goals and keep a sense of humor about everything in life. Use the knowledge you gleaned from your expe- riences to shape the lives of your students: check. — Kristin Burt NOT AN ORDINARY CLASSROOM.

Uere gou are • • • Eyewitness to the Civil Rights Era It ' s 9 a.m., and I hear the Bibb Graves chimes marking the hour. As 1 sit at my desk, a tall, lanky man with wavy red hair rambles in. I ' ve heard stories about Dr. Clark Mueller, and the stories assure me that this lecture will not be ordi- nary. Mueller has a way of making political science come alive, and when he tells stories, students say they feel as if they were a part of his journey through the Civil Rights era. The story he tells today is a famous one on campus. He begins by explaining who Stokeley Carmichael was — an activist whose name is synonymous with the term Black Power. Carmichael was in fact a man known for his hate speech and violent threats. And as we travel with Mueller into the past, we as a class are allowed to join him as he joins the Black Power advocate for a meal. The tale begins with Mueller as a student at Whittier College in California. The time is the late six- ties, and racial tension is at its peak. He needs a good interview on which to write a paper — but who shoiuld he approach? His room- mate suggests that he try to reach Carmichael. So he sends off a let- ter, never really expecting a reply. Ten days later, however, he receives one. Carmichael is willing to meet him for a lunch-time interview. We both had roast beef sand- wiches, Mueller recalls. Caught in the spell, we are now seated with the two at a small cafe. Though Carmichael was never known for disguising his animosity toward white people, we are surprised to find that he speaks candidly to the young redhead seated across from him. While the discussion is not for a national magazine or even the local paper, it is evident that Carmichael is not holding back. Mueller tells the class that underneath the rhetoric of revolu- tion, I discovered a very thoughtful individual. Carmichael ' s fame lies in such harsh statements as v e gotta pick up the gun. What we learn over the lunch table, howev- er, is that there is another part to the verse. Carmichael doesa indeed tell Mueller that, we gotta pick up the gun, but before we pick up the gun, we gotta pick up the book. They discuss the need for educa- tion, they discuss segregation. They discuss and discuss ... and Mueller walks away with a better understanding of the Black Power movement and a tale for genera- tions of students to come. Mueller glances at his watch and begins to wind up his story. We, the students, begin to return from 1969 to 1999. These were scary times. We ' ve come a long way since then ... thank God. He fin- ishes as we pack up our belong- ings. But, we will take more than backpacks to our next class — we will take some knowledge of a bygone era. — Lxjri Tays 123 HH«HMHR3«I ABRA BARNES WinHeld LALIREMTIS BARNETT Rorence LORI BARRETT Mascle Shoals JENNIFER BASS Pulaski.

This man dropped a bombshell on students, as well as some faculty members with his announcement of retire- ment. Actually, before he ever announced it, the rumor spread like a fever until almost everyone had heard, resulting in the same effect. Curott had a unique childhood. After the early death of his mother, he and his father went to live with his uncle godfather. His uncle, a watchmaker, had a special interest in astronomy and would fre- quently take his sons and godson to observatories. ! just thought all kids went to observatories and plan- etariums, said Curott. Looking back, you could see the seeds being sown for an interest in astronomy. All of us got inter- ested in astronomy, but I ' m the only one who got into it profesionally, so to speak. His career in the field didn ' t begin until years later. He first attended Stevens Institute of Technology. After graduating as valedictorian, he continued on to Princeton for his Ph.D in physics. Curott was studying at Princeton at the time the Big Bang Theory was first proposed. It was his adviser and friend, Robert Dicke, who first proposed measuring the radia- tion in the solar system. You don ' t realize you are in an exciting time until it ' s over, commented Curott. So, how did this Princeton graduate first decide to come to Florence to offer his services? For Curott, it could probably be summed up in one word: climate. I taught for many years in Connecticut, and I didn ' t like the weather, said Curott. 1 thought 1 would move south. When he did begin looking for warmer weather, the year was 1975, and Alabama seemed to promise relief from the bitter winters. 1 had never heard of Florence, but I knew people at the University of Alabama, and they let me know there was a position over here in astronomy; the possibility of astronomy. And although he was hired primarily to be a physicist, To me that was the best of both worlds, said Curott. Curott didn ' t start teaching astrono- my. PH 125. until Henry Harvey stepped down as planetarium director in 1980. Now, nearly twenty years later, Curott has done the same, much to the dismay of many. Even though he has big plans for retirement, such as trav- eling, writing physics textbooks, and working on a patent, his time won ' t be as absorbed with teaching and books. According to Curott. all of my students; that ' s what made it enjoyable. With so many stellar professors as colleagues, one might say. Curott is shining among the rest like one star in a constellation. Starting this year, howev- er, he has chosen to shine from the comfort of his home. — Anne Beam DEUX LINGUISTS. Dr. Craig Christy pauses for a moment with the chiseled face of Jean ChampoUion outside the College de France. He is conversationally engaging, this man whose resume lists educational attainments, teaching experience and scholarships the likes of which many could only dream. From the University of Tennessee, a B.A. and an M.A.: a Fulbright Fellow at Ruprecht-Karl Universitaet, Heidelberg. Germany: another M.A. and a Ph.D. — both from Princeton University, all earned, within the span of a decade. Since 1980, he has received a total of 19 grants, pre- sented two dozen papers at national and international confer- ences, and has served as editor referee of five articles and books. He has been a teaching assistant at Tennessee and Princeton, an instructor at Rider College in New Jersey, a lec- turer at Princeton, an assistant professor at UCLA and California-Berkeley, and professor and interim dean of UNA ' s College of Arts and Sciences, where he is currently professor of German and linguistics, and chafr of the Department of Foreign Languages. He is Dr. Craig Christy, who has a firm handshake and ■■ easily holds a listener ' s attention with just as firm eye con- tact. On the personal side, Christy is originally from Knoxvllle. Term. However, he also has family ties to Germany and France. His mother is from Strasbourg. France (once a part of Germany) and. as a child, he and his three sisters often 1sited his maternal grandparents there. Hence his acquaintance withand interest In foreign languages. Christy and his wife have spoken German in their home to ensure that their children have access to the language and to German -speaking countries and their cultures. UNA had been without a German Language Department for two years when Christy was offered the opportunity to set up the current program that, along with language instruc- tion, includes teaching about the German culture. Different peoples perceive the world differently, said Christy. And language is a premiere arena in which to really learn about those differences by gaining an appreciation of other peoples and then cultures. Indeed, he continues to travel through Europe, where his work is well-known, at least once a year, contributing his expertise and learning from others. Christy is active in many professional organizations, both at home and in Germany and France, and his local and long-distance academic endeavors have enjoyed support from UNA, the Friends of the Department of Foreign Languages, and German foundadons. I recently returned from a research trip to Europe, where in addition to conducting archival research in Frankfurt. [Germany] and Paris. he. said, he also participat- ed in an international conference at the Ecole Normale Superieure Fontenay St. Cloud, part of the University of Paris system. There, more than 100 scholars from around the world met to address seminal issues in the historv and historiogra- phy of linguistics at the Eighth International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences. Christy presented a paper entitled ' Home Tooke and the ' Abbreviation ' of Language: a New Perspective on GrammaUcalization ' . That paper was a discussion about semantic change and its rela- tionship on the development of grammatical structures. Christy will attend an interdisciplinary conference to be held in December, in Wendgraben Castle, a research center of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, located near Dessau. Germany, famous as the home of the ' Bauhaus ' movement in art and architecture. Christy has been invited to participate as a fully-spon- sored invitee of the prestigious Adenauer Foundation. This is a conference to commemorate the life and achievement of German Unguisl and philosopher Heymann Steinthal. about whose theory of language Christy has published numerous scholarly articles. There he will present a paper entitled From Articulation to Comprehension: Steinthal and the Dynamics of Linguistic Intangibles. — Donna Langston emational ScJiolar 143 Staff c u I y Housing and Residence Life Custodial.

As 1 stumbled through my first day of teaching at Western University in Baku, Azerbaijan, I was almost reduced to tears as I tried to maintain any hint of personal composure. It was the professor who was disoriented and suffering from a case of academic culture shock, not the students. To be completely honest, when I finally made it back to my little apartment at the end of that first day, I sat down and quietly stared out the window, unsure of whether or not 1 could do this for a full semester. Western University is a private school with about 1,000 students. It is considered one of the best institu- tions of higher education in the country. The campus, however, does not look like what we regard as a typical college campus. The classes and offices are in one large, old, building in the downtown area. The classrooms are small and dark, with old-style desks and one small chalk- board, both of which are in great need of repair. After getting my class schedule translated into English, 1 went to teach my first class. The students, who were all talking to each other in Russian, paid no atten- tion to me. Students continued to come into and leave the classroom for the full class period, many talking on their cell phones as they came and went. ... I recently finished teaching a compressed, gradu- ate-level, class and was shocked to find 14 additional peo- ple at the last class meeting. I was reluctant to give these 14 new students the final exam and explained that they could not possibly make a passing grade since they had not been attending class. With the assistance of an English-speaking student interpreter, the Russian-speak- ing dean was called in. After a brief discussion of the matter, we finally reached a compromise. I agreed to teach the entire class over again for these students who had not been coming to class. Some of my undergraduates explained to me, pri- vately, that this sort of behavior was common under the old Soviet system. Most colleges and universities in Baku do not seem to have made the transition to Western stan- dards since Azerbaijan achieved its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Western University, however, is fully committed to raising its standards and achieving accreditation. ... My semester at Western University has not been particularly easy. However, with a little effort on my part and a lot of help from some nice faculty and staff at WU, things are much better after seven weeks, and really quite exciting. It has helped me grow as a person and as a pro- fessor. It is one of those once-in-a-lifetime adventures and I am looking forward to bringing new and interesting firsthand material back to my International Business classes at UNA. — Gerald Crawford r f  ' .3 i , T - , -VT;? « fik.

The band stands at attention while phras- es of music run through their heads and energy runs through their veins. The Braly Stadium lights shine on their faces as they catch sight of smiling individuals in the crowd. A feeling of excitement rushes through their bodies as they anticipate the immediate moment. Their mission: to share their music as they put on the best show they possibly can. All their hard work has been concentrated on preparing for this moment. Suddenly, the music begins and their feet move automatically to the beat of the drums. They feel every note and know every move because of their weeks of preparation. The crowd cheers as melody and harmony come to life. The crowd watches in awe as band members march into formations and designs on the field. The dance team sparkles, the majorettes glow, the color guard gleams, and the band shines on. This is halftime! In fact, this is the first halftime show of the season. The place is Braly Stadium. Time for all of the hard work and time spent on the field to be shown off This is the moment for which these students have long been preparing. The day starts early for seven of the band members. At 6:45 a.m. they meet at WOWL. a local television station, to play a promotion for the first game. The small group goes inside the back door of the studio to play the UNA fight song live on camera. Robbie Stout and Jeremy Thigpen are two of those playing at WOWL. Stout says that he spends his time before a game getting prepared for halftime. I just get into the mindset, Stout says. [1 get] excited, pumped up and ready to go! Thigpen says that he usually practices about 10 hours each week. For him, it is worth all the hard work to be in the band because he is getting practice for the future. Ryan Tillery says that if there were one thing he could change about the band, it would be to increase the amount of funding and sup- port it receives. BRASS AND BRAWN. Band members get ready for another exhausting day on the practice field. for the Show The small group leaves the station at approximately 7:45 a.m. in order to be at the sta- dium and set up by 8:30. After the band comes together and gets into opening position on the field to warm up, members take the show on the field in segments. The band students create shapes and formations on the field. Their sound is strong and can be heard clearly from one side of the stadium to the other side. The morning light reflects off every instrument. Finished with practice at Braly, the musi- cians have a 15-minute interim until they must be at the practice field across from the residence halls on campus. Here they practice until 11:20, running through the entire show one final time before the game. Jason Warntx is section leader of the pit (the stationary group of the band that consists of tympani. xylophone, and other percussion instruments). He says that the purpose of the pit is purely musical. Those [musical) effects are what gives people in the stands of the stadium a chill, says Warnix. The music that comes from the pit sets up the tension and release for the audience. The band now marches into Braly Stadium to play The Star Spangled Banner behind the UNA goal. After two quarters of inter- mittent playing, the halftime show begins. Clicks of drums guide the Pride of Dixie Marching Band onto the field. The music starts and the magic begins. Everyone ' s hard work has paid off. The w  show lights up the field and the crowd loves it. The notes seem to dance their way into the ears of the people in the stands. The soloists on the field work to put a mag- ical touch into the crowd ' s enjoyment of the music. This end result comes from hours of practice. Sean Manahan is one of the members who gives up his Saturdays to practice and play at the games. The love of marching and the love of the field keeps me out there. he says. It ' s just another day in the life of a band member. — Rhonda Sue Way PRACTICE LOOKS PERFECT. The band, dressed and ready-to- go for a home game, practices yet again in the evening sunlight.

After overcoming the freshman year experience, I came to the conclusion that my educa- tional career could be a little more exciting if 1 began to get involved on campus. 1 had obtained membership status in various organizations, but being the outgoing person that I am, I was yet socially unsatisfied. My exploration for the perfect organization had begun. I sought for an organization that did not place emphasis on gender, race, or stereotypes. I was in search of a rather unusual organiza- tion. I heard of various groups and their achieve- ments, but overall no other organization caught my eye like the men and women in purple shirts. It seemed as if everywhere 1 turned, they were there. I could only conclude that this was not the typical group on campus. 1 thought back to my freshman year and remembered a young lady wearing a purple shirt had given me a tour of the campus. My interest in the organization grew tremendously. Then I received an invitation to attend a meeting among the purple shirt- wearers. Due to the experience of that day, 1 discovered the perfect organization for me — the LaGrange Society! My experience at the LaGrange Society meeting as a freshman enlightened me on the organization as a whole. The social skills of this elite group sur- passed those of the normal social groups. Every member treated me as if 1 were a part of the family. The adviser, Mrs. Kim Mauldin, introduced me to the group and the rest, as the saying goes, is history. I applied for the LaGrange Society in the spring of my sophomore year. After completing the tryout process, which consisted of a role-play and an inter- view, it completely surprised me to learn that 1 was one of the chosen few. I know that I had made the right choice by selecting this organization, but 1 had had no idea of the variety of things it had to offer. The beginning of the year as a member of the LaGrange Society is truly an unforgettable experi- ence. Each year, there is a retreat at Joe Wheeler State Park. This retreat gives the members a chance to get to know each other on a personal level. It is also an opportunity for the men and women to learn the role, as well as the duties, of this elite organiza- tion. My knowledge of the university was greatly enhanced at this retreat. Once the educational semi- nars had come to a close, the games began. The greater part of my time at Joe Wheeler State Park HUMAN STACKABLES. Brian Blakely looks on while Ashley Gregory.

Leray Smedley and Chris Shiimaker pause to pose lor the camera during LaGrange ' s Joe Wheeler State Park retreat (below). was spent engaged in some informal social activity or long hours in the pool. I must admit that it was a learn- ing process, but getting to know everyone and having fun with them was the thing I enjoyed the most. It did not take long for me to find out that work also comes along with fun. Since the role of the LaGrange Society is to serve as the official hosts and hostesses for the university, there are constitutional provisions every member has to abide by. Members are required to fulfill their duties such as sponsoring Leo II at all home football games, giving campus tours to prospective students, and ushering presi- dential events held at the university. Most of the duties of a LaGrange Society member are very outgo- ing, social, and impromptu. I immediately identified this as one of the characteristics that separated this organization from many of the others. My experience with such an elite group has helped me achieve social satisfaction. The LaGrange Society is more than an organization to me; it is a family. I have overcome the adage about not talking to strangers. Thcinks to the LaGrange Society, 1 now understand that if you do not talk to strangers, you do not make friends. — Leray Smedley THREE ON THREE.

What that person would not see is all of the preparation and work that go into a production that takes place onstage. Nothing much happens until dark, then beware. Somewhere around dark or shortly before is when the technical crew (the techies) comes to life and Norton becomes a beehive of activity. As 1 walk into the set shop. I look around and see the set from the Miss UNA pageant in pieces all over the place. The new seal is half paint- ed, the pyramid is in eleven pieces waiting to be put together, and the facings for the platforms are spread around the room, having just been painted. 1 go and open t±ie dressing rooms downstairs for the actors because there is a show — The Skin CHECK, CHECK. CHECK. Sliannon Durham makes sure that sound levels are good. of Our Teeth — tonight. One by one the techies begin to arrive, wearing black so they can fade into the back- ground. It is the job of the techies to make things move, appear, disap- pear, and work as if by magic. There are 13 different people working the tech crew for this show, not counting me. And each has an assigned job to do. The lighting tech- nician comes in and begins to check the lighting instruments for burned- out bulbs and gels, or colors. The sound technician checks his sound equipment and sound effects. The prop mistresses put all the props in place for the beginning of the show. The flyman checks all the scenery on the fly lines, sets up headsets, and readies the curtains. The scenery crew sweeps the stage, then puts a house in place for Act 1. The wardrobe mistress brings the special costumes out of storage. 1 have plugged in the fog machine, and set up my station on stage right. I send part of the stage crew to the basement on the pit because the pit is not used until Act II, and part of the crew to the set shop to store the Miss UNA set out of the way. Everything is set and ready to go. Now we wait. The doors open. The audience comes in, the house lights dim to black and the play begins. About half way into Act I. 1 pick up a short two-by-four and knock on the back of the set. This sounds like someone is knocking on the back door of the house. About two-thirds into the Act, the house begins to disappear into the wings and above the stage. The techies are assigned to move the pieces. Each piece of house has two techies to move it. If a crew member is not here, then the house LIGHTS ... PLACES ... ACTION! Sam Gross understands that, without light, there is no onstage action. moves in an odd way. There usually are not extra crew members standing around doing nothing. It is the end of Act I. The tech crew has 10 minutes to change the set to Atlantic City Boardwalk. At least the house is out of the way and the curtain is closed. We finish the task with three minutes to spare. Not much happens for us during Act 11 except a plastic rock is shot with a slingshot at an actor and someone has to catch as it comes off stage so it does not bounce. Tonight, it does not make it off stage! The end of Act II and the crew again has 10 minutes to change the set. We begin to move the boardwalk, but before I can pick up the rock, which landed next to the boardwalk, someone kicks it under the curtain and it goes on the audience side. There is nothing I can do except walk onto the stage and pick it up. At the end of the play, the house has returned to pieces, the cu rtain call is over. The tech crew readies the stage to do all of this over again tomorrow. The actors have left. The building is locked for the night. As I leave by the back door. I look at the Miss UNA set and start to mentally put it together for next week. — Alice Gross •  , 189 Wesley foundation offers students friendehlp, Fellowshif Fun The Wesley Foundation is likea family: it ' s my college family.

Alpha Delta Pi has changed my perspective. Now I couldn ' t imagine life without my involvement in the closest of sisterhoods. Alpha Delta Pi. The sisterhood began in 1851 when a group of bright young women had the foresight to create an organization that would touch not only the lives of its members, but also the lives of millions of people all over the globe. Alpha Delta Pi is proud to be the third-largest Greek organization worldwide, bringing opportunities to thousands of women and aid to mil- lions through its philanthropies. Alpha Delta Ti encourages its women to live up to the highest stan- dards, emphasizing scholarship, leadership, and ser- vice. The Zeta Eta chapter makes sure its sisters support each other, whether it be by quizzing each other for a test, meeting with the scholarship chair to form an effective studying schedule, or taking a much-needed study break and grabbing some coffee at Tourway. AAFl women also show their true school spirit by getting involved and becoming leaders on campus through SGA, UPC, and other organizations. Most of all. Alpha Delta Pi enjoys its philanthropy work with the Ronald McDonald House. We also know how to have fun. Whether it ' s play- ing a game with Mica, watching Days in the chap- ter room, or just hanging out on the Powers picnic table, my sisters and 1 are inseparable. We laugh together when we play Callie ' s AAFl Jeopardy! , we sweat together when we become Becky ' s step show servants, and we ' re spellbound by the wild and crazy weekend tales told by Mica, Miranda, and Andrea. Our leaderhsip and dedication shine brilliantly through all we do. and the closeness we share is indescribable. No, 1 could never imagine life without my sisters. The special moments and adventures have given me memories I will hold on to forever. Our motto, We live for each other, says it all! — Emily Ackley 195 LOVE AND LOYALTY FOR A LIFETIME.

You see red, buff and green jerseys radiating under the stage lights with ATA plastered across their chests. Step Show has begun. The sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta follow tradition and give an excellent performance. For years. Alpha Gam has mastered Step Show and we ' ve proudly stepped our way to the top. Step Show is one of the many events in which we are success- ful. Alpha Gamma Delta also strives for academic excellence each semester and our hard work is evi- dent in our high chapter gradepoint average. Throughout this. Alpha Gams remember that we are Lions, and we have undying spirit for our University. We strive to show our spirit through attendance at pep rallies and sports events. Intramurals are also an anticipated event. We are proud of our chapter and we tend to do crazy things to show it. For example, after Alpha Gamma Delta won the soccer championship, every team member jumped head first into a deep mud hole on the side of the field. Although all of these activities keep us busy. Alpha Gam puts sisterhood and loyalty to the chap- ter first. Whether it is the Sisterhood Support Bra, the sisterhood basket, a weekend getaway for a sis- terhood retreat, a gift from your secret squirrel, or the famous slip-n-slide behind Powers Hall, we are always thinking of one another. Our sisterhood unites us as one, and it radiates on campus. Alpha Gamma Delta truly understands what it means to be sisters by heart. — Julie Thompson 197 f n Alpha Kappa Alpha.

Alpha Phi Alpha was founded on a predominantly white campus on December 4, 1906, with goals of striving for excel- lence, scholarship, and manly deeds. The Kappa Gamma chapter was the first histori- cally black Greek-letter organization on UNA ' s cam- pus. The members are currently involved in LEAD team. LaGrange Society. BSA, and many other clubs. Alpha Thr Alpha likes to help the community ' through philanthropies such as Bowl for Kids ' Sake, Go to High School-Go to College, Alpha Head Start, Voteless People is a Hopeless People, and the Boys and Girls Club. When the Alphas aren ' t busy keeping their GPAs up and reaching out to the community, they are participating in campus events. During Homecoming, look for the Black and Old Gold at the Alpha Bash. The Alphas independently host their own events, too. The Alpha Ball will find the Alphas and their dates dressed formally to celebrate the end of another successful school year. The Alphas also host events that get other stu- dents involved. They host a pageant each year, called the Miss Black and Gold pageant, and also co-host a spirit week with Alpha Kappa Alpha called Skee-Phi Week. Each semester, the men have an opportunity to give back to everyone who supports them throughout the years with their 6 Cent Bash. Through all of this, the Alphas ' main focus is to produce strong men who will continue to contribute to society, the community, and the Fraternity. — Alpha Phi Alpha COMMUNITY OUTREACH.

ATQ! was the chant that shook Norton Auditorium on a cold night in February last year. It was the sound that paid respect to the brothers of Alpha Tau Omega for how far they had come over a year ' s time. Even with only a small number of men, they were able to take first place in the Mens Division of Step Sing. Hearts raced and cheers roared, for they knew this event would bring the chapter to a new level in Greek life. During that week alone, the members of Alpha Tau Omega had moved from being founding fathers of the colony, to being fully initiated brothers and receiving a charter. This, too, marked a new beginning for at Alpha Tau Omega UNA. Since that event, ATQ has managed to increase in size, accomplish many more tasks, and set and achieve many more goals. On October 16, 1998 the men of the Theta Eta chapter were awarded ATQ ' s top award, known as the True Merit Award. The idea for this award comes from founder Otil Allan Glazebrook ' s Creed, which reads to foster, not partisanship, but the recognition of True Merit, wherever found. Out of 150 chapters nationwide, 17 were chosen to receive the True Merit Award. Needless to say. having received this award after less than one year of being a chartered organization, the ATQ ' s of UNA are extremely proud. PI EPSILON PI. The brothers of Alpha Tau Omega stand together as one of UNA ' S newest fraternities. Alpha Tau Omega took an important step in set- ting standards on campus, offering an alternative to the stereotypical Animal House fraternity by having substance-free housing. This means that there are no drugs, no alcohol, and no tobacco use in the house. To say that, however, is not to say that they don ' t know how to have a good time. The brothers partici- pate in many activities to build their brotherhood and overall just have a good time. They take camping trips, have band and DJ parties, host Viking Week, attend football games, and take road trips to other cities to visit ATQ chapters across the nation. Brothers of Alpha Tau Omega will always tell of the fun that they ' ve had and the friends they ' ve made. It may be a story of Rodney acting like a goril- la, or maybe Denny becoming Zeta ' s King Cuddle Bunny. It could be the excitement of winning Step Sing or being awarded True Merit. It could even be standing next to a brother as a shoulder to cry on when a loved one is put to rest. Through all these events and more, this brotherhood has been strengthened and made leaps and bounds in improv- ing itself, investing in the university amd the commu- nity, while at the same time meeting on common ground for a load of fun. The ATQ ' s take great strides and learn a lot about life during their time at UNA. In the words of South Park. ' There ' s a time and place for everything, and it ' s called college. — Michael Colvln 203 Delta Sigma Theta.

The broth- ers take pride in the image they portray on campus and in the community as noble black men. The chapter is very much involved in the community. In addition to serving as mentors and tutors, they sponsor projects for the Boys and Girls Club. Some of the projects include an annual Easter Egg Hunt and feeding fami- lies for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Many of the brothers are involved in other orga- nizations on campus.

Our three National Programs are Social Action, Education, and Bigger and Better Business. In order to implement these and other programs, the fraternity works with organizations such as: the National Panhellenic Council, the NAACP, the National Urban League, March of Dimes Birth Defect Foundation, and the National Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity is an organi- zation that is concerned and involved in meeting the needs of the community. On the campus of the University of North Alabama at the Robert Guillot Center stood the handsome men of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated. These proud men stood beside the statue of Leo the Lion, covering the campus in the wonderful colors of royal blue and pure white. Everyone turned their heads at these phenomenal men, wondering how it felt to be real men — strong, proud, black men — men who knew what they want- ed and how to obtain their every desire. These psy- chotic, erotic brothers looked up at the beautiful blue-and-white sky three times and saw beautiful doves flying over, showing all of love and dedication to these wonderful men and the chapter that they represent.

Over the past 150 years, the Fraternity of Th Gamma Delta has not only helped enrich the college years, but also deeply impact- ed the lives of over 100,000 young men. In 1848. the fra- ternity was established upon the values of Friendship. Knowledge, Service. Morality, and Excellence. It is these five values that every brother of the Phi Upsilon Chapter seeks to attain and exemplify. For the past 25 years, the Phi Upsilon Chapter has car- ried on FIJI ' S rich tradition of excellence at the University of North Alabama. The brothers of the Phi Upsilon Chapter have achieved success in all fields of endeavor at UNA. We have brothers who are involved in SGA. the LaGrange Society, the SOAR program, and a wide array of other organizations here on campus. We continue to achieve suc- cess in academics as well. For example, in 1998 our chapter earned the Owens Cup, which is an award given by the inter- national fraternity to the FIJI Chapter with the most improved grades. When it comes to the social aspect of college life, the brothers of Phi Upsilon strive for nothing less than excel- lence. FIJI ' S biggest party of the year, FIJI Island, was a three-day-long event, which included a 15-foot bamboo fence in front of the house, Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts, and more than 500 guests throughout the weekend. Each brother of Phi Upsilon strives to find a healthy bal- ance in every facet of college life. It is such characteristics, and many others, that set our fraternity apart from all the rest. In every aspect of college and life, the fraternity brings out the best in an individual. This is why we say that the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta is not for college days alone! — FIJI THE SWEETEST INFLUENCE. FIJI and friends celebrate a night of brotherhood and friendship.

Our bid day falls on the same day every year. It ' s a time for Theta Alpha to scream and cheer Our new girls are always tops on our list, Other girls don ' t know just what they have missed. We always have the best of times. Even at the Walk-a-Thon for the March of Dimes. Guess Who ' s Coming to Dinner kicks off the fall, UNA fraternities and athletes always have a ball. Our first mixer — White Wedding with Pike, We dress in black and they do alike. You can always count on your sisters not to set you up with someone you hate. Especially when it comes to our annual Mystery Date. When Homecoming arrives, times seem to get crazy, With so many events — Who has time to be lazy? Around Halloween, we gather with Kappa Sig. We all wear costumes, and our scholarship chair even dressed as a pig. A bonfire keeps us warm on that cold, November night. Seeing everyone bundle up at Barn Party is quite a sight. We ventured off campus to rendezvous with SAE, Lauderdale Lanes was definitely the place to be. Th Mu s winter formal is said to be the most fun. Our pretty girls in long dresses, look second to none. We serve our community during Christmas break. Giving to a needy family always makes us feel great. The new year arrives with plenty to do. More mixers, date parties, and Step Sing, too. We started off swinging with ATO We were dressed in our PJs from head to toe. Practicing for Step Sing on many late nights, It all paid off once we were under those Broadway lights. Destination Unknown is always a scare. We don ' t know where we ' re going until we get there. We ' re Dazed and Confused when we meet with Sigma Chi, We listen to ' 70s music and dress in tie-dye. First place we won at UNA ' s Spring Fling, When our girls are in events we cheer and we sing. Rock-a-Thon at Wal-Mart raised money for CMN, Giving to children — How can we not win? FIJI invited us over to slide down hill. Water balloons and a slip-n-slide — it all was a huge thrill. Our year ended with our final intramural game. Everyone was relieved and UNA will never be the same.

There ' s no better social life on campus than at the ?i Xappa Alpha House. We work hard, play hard, and as often as possible, we party very hard. Here at the Pike Chapter we have an acronym for the type of guys we look for among those wanting to enter our noble order:SLAGs. Scholars : we want the smartest and brightest guys out there to join us. Leaders: we look for the future SGA presidents and other campus lead- ers when looking for future Pikes. Athletes: Pikes are winners, and we want nothing but winners here — there is no room for second place. Finally. Gentlemen: we look for the guys who will earn the respect of girls, professors, and peers. By using these conditions to find rushees. we can easily find out if Pike is in a rushee ' s heart. Although I have told you this. I must finish with a quote from one of our former presidents: From the inside looking out. 1 could never explain it. and from the outside looking in. you would never understand. — Pi Kappa Alpha WE TOLD YOU SO.

SAE is the largest fraternity in the nation. 218 m QT WITH SAE. Two brothers mug tor the camera during a chapter canoe trip to Buffalo River. PROUD TO BE AN ' E. ' The brothers of SAE hang out on the intramural football field. The story of Sigma Alpha Epsilon on the University of North Alabama campus can best be told through the story of the Phoenix. The Phoenix was a mythological bird that lived for 500 years. Near the end of its life it would build a nest, which it would set afire. The great bird would then be com- sumed by the flames. Out of the ashes a new Phoenix would arise, just as magnificent and strong as the last. As new members join our fraternity, they are asked to learn this story and how it relates to brothers graduating while new brothers are taking their places. This represents a never-ending cycle. The Phoenix, therefore, is a symbol of our fraternity nationally. How does that relate to the Alabama Nu chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon? Ten years ago a group of guys at UNA decided to become Greek. They chose not to do this by the tra- ditional means of going through Rush, but rather by going against the grain and establishing their own fraternity. They chose Sigma Alpha Epsilon and went straight to work establishing a place at the top of UNA ' S Greek organizations. Full of zeal, they managed to take first place in basically everything they sought, from the Dean ' s cup and Step Sing to the Intramural trophy. Sigma Alpha Epsilon at UNA had defiantly made a name for itself. As the years wore on, the chapter entered its dark days, just as the Phoenix had. Trophies on campus came few and far between. The spot Sigma Alpha Zpsilon held on top slipped away. With the help of some very hardworking brothers, the chapter still man- aged to do all right, but the glory days were only a memory. The fall of 1997 saw SAE with only twelve brothers. These twelve guys were not about to give up. They were able to have a successful rush that fall, which put SAE back on track. Just as the Phoenix rose from the ashes, the Alabama Nu chap- ter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon rose from its proverbial ashes. Over the past few years, SAE has managed once again to rise to the top. With strong numbers, strong leaders, and a zeal as strong as it was ten years ago, the Brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon have now pulled the sword from the stone and are ready to take our birth right as the Kings on campus. Just like the Phoenix, strong as before. — Sigma Alpha Epsilon The Whcfs ami Whys of Sf maCh Jhmiding of local chapter: April 20, 1974 Colors: Blue and Old Gold Symbol: White Cross yiower: White Rose [««« ' fc Pt Mono: You ' ll Find it He Jrimous Alumnf: David Letterman Brad Pitt Tom Selleck Warren Beatty The Brothers of Sigma Chi, ' 99- ' 00: Matt Bacak, Jon Berry, Was Black, Brian Blakely, Will Boyd.

The broth- ers of Sigma Chi enjoy doing things as a fraternity on and off campus. 220 The brothers of Sigma Chi Fraternity have once again been hard at work on the campus of the University of North Alabama. While promoting brotherhood within the fraternity, they have also excelled on campus by holding top offices in the Student Government. LaGrange Society, campus ministries, and university athletics. In continuing to be a positive asset to the cam- pus, many brothers have participated in organiza- tions and academics. The fraternity has successful- ly acquired the University ' s only Greek Excellence Award for their efforts. In addition to their activities on campus. has established a Sigma Chf scholarship fund in memory of the late UNA golfer. Jack Karnes. Jack was a leader in our fraternity, as well as on campus. While emphasizing academics and brotherhood, Sigma Chi looks forward to the school year with sorority mixers. Sleigh Ride winter formal. Sweetheart Ball, and the popular Derby Days cele- bration in the spring semester. 1 know that 1 am looking forward to the great events that take place on our campus each year. My brothers also look forward to a positive year and a continued tradition of excellence! — Brad Holmes WE SUPPORT OUR BROTHERS. Brotherhood shines when the frater- nity supports its athletes.

White Violet Motto: ' Seek the Nobles 222 H C The Eta Rho chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha at UNA is constantly on the go. Whether It Is to another win- ning performance for Step Sing, to Zeta Days in Tuscaloosa to receive awards from International Council, or to support a winning intramural team, Zeta girls know how to make the most out of any sit- uation. Victories aren ' t victories without a few bumps along the way. There was the time that Haley Bryant, in a huge rush, tried to dry her shirt for Step Sing in the microwave and it caught on fire! Fortunately, we had extras. During flag football, one of our star intramural players, Jenny Thomason, ran the entire length of the football field for a touch- down, only to score for the wrong team! This earned her the nickname wrong way Jen-A. We forgave Jenny after Zeta won intramurals overall. The night before the house decoration competition of Derby Days, Jill White and Lauren Zobrosky spray-painted the sheet to hang outside the Sigma Chi house on Jill ' s living room floor at 2 a.m. According to Jill, it took her a week to get the fumes out of her apart- ment. It was all worth it, though, when Zeta took home the Derby Days trophy. During recruitment, we had three international officers visit our chapter. They showed that sister- hood does not stop once you become an alumna, by helping the chapter with decorating the rooms at three in the morning. What the chapter did, they did, including a late-night karaoke competition and trips to Waffle House. All of the fun they had with the chapter helped to support Eta Flho ' s outstanding national reputation. We are known nationally as The Eta Rho chapter because of our strong sister- hood, service, and fanatical excellence. Zeta Tau Alpha is composed of many beautiful and talented young women. The Eta Rho chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha has the reigning Miss University of North Alabama, Kimberly Williams. Laney IS ZETA PARTICIPATES. The sisters of Zeta gather for a photo dur- ing Spring Fling. Marchbanks was the talent winner in not only Miss UNA, but also in the Miss Alabama Music Hall of Fame Pageant. Zeta also has Allison Ayers, the University ' s Homecoming Queen, and Leslie Hamer, who captured the title of Miss Alabama Teen. This win has given Leslie the opportunity to travel in the United States to model and to Canada to compete in the Miss Canadian International Pageant. Zeta Tai Alpha also well-represented and well-respected on campus. Eta Rho women are known as leaders, and they serve the community also. Greek Woman of the Year, UNA Hall of Fame, Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, LaOrange Society, UPC, Lion Paws, Lionettes, UNA Varsity Cheerleaders, and SGA are just a few honors and activities in which Zetas participate each year. Bleacher Creatures at the UNA football games would not be possible without the help of the Zeta ladies. ZTA ' s philanthropy is Breast Cancer Awareness. This past year, the Eta Rho chapter alone raised over $4,000 to raise awareness and further the search for a cure. Nationally, ZTA contributes over $1 million to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, making it one of the largest donors in the country. The Panhellenic Council at UNA named Zeta ' s the most creative service project of the year. This was our annual Cheer for the Cure cheerleading competi- tion, which involves area high school cheerleading teams. Zeta Tau Alpha members have definitely made their mark on the campus of UNA. They have enjoyd a sisterhood that has lasted over 100 years. UNA has given ZTA the opporunity to continue making friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. —Zeta Tau Alpha 223 ' % iifft.

SUSAN DUVALL. 134 Letter from the editors: When I think about the college experience, I think about a snowstorm. 1 think of students walking on their own paths, with their heads bowed into the wind, trying to cut through all ot the snow and wind swirling around them. They grit their teeth through the biting cold, and try their best not to let the fierce winds steer them off course. Some don ' t make it, some make it and don ' t know wh ' , and there are the select few that find the answers they were searching for and can begin the next phase of their lives. Although we ' re all working toward what seems to be the same thing — the almighty diploma — college is a unique experience to each and every one of us. We are all seeking something different by studying here. There are stu- dents here, somewhere, who are here only to find out what profession will make them the most money. There is someone who is here and doesn ' t quite know why yet. There are those who are here because they ' ve worked tor it, they ' ve fought to be here, and they know exactly what they ' re going to do with what they learn here. It sounds trite, but we think too much about our destination, and not what we go through to get there. We ' re in danger of losing sight of something that can easily get lost in the salaries, resumes, portfolios, and practice interviews: knowledge. Throughout the craziness of our college years, it is the one thing that will shape us and ready us for the next stage of our lives, it is the one thing that can keep us on our paths. If you leave UNA really knowing what you ' ve been studying for the last few years, it will outdo any power suit. You are Here is a concept that came to me while I was working on the ' 99 book. Turning Point. I thought about how, twenty years from now, when you want to look back on these years — the Diorama will be your tool to do so. I wanted to capture the turmoil, the late nights, the big projects — everything that makes the college experience such a unique one in your life. For that rea- son, this book has been done a little differently. You won ' t find a lot of static team or club photos — instead you ' ll find pictures of what happened while you were here. Once the editors and staff knew what we wanted to do, the theme seemed obvious. You are in the middle of something that will shape you and change you, and have a powerful effect on who you are. You ' re in the middle of something big- ger than who gets elected secretary of your club. You are laying the foundation for what will soon be the rest of your life. You are here.
