Concerned with many ob- jectives of the college - and especial- ly students interests, administrators too were part of the college life. Life with the faculty had much of the same interest. Salaries were not the only reward of their hard work, but also the promising outcome of stu- dents' participation in the learning experience. The year had its share of rivalry as the wrestling team proudly represent- ed the college. With about fifteen matches sched- uled to partici- pate in, the mem- bers were com- mended for their hard work by fa- vorable scores. They wrestled against such fierce competi- tors as Elon, Da- vidson, Furman, Guilford, and Gardner Webb colleges. There was also an even stronger rivalry between the faculty and students as both met face to face in the second an- nual Turkey Tip-Off Students VS Faculty Bas- ketball Game. Spectators of all kinds came to see the spectacular show as students STUDENT ACTIVITIES Wayne Macemore and Greg Wilmouth help out at the booth sponsored by SGA during the Apple Festival. and faculty played grit against grit un- til a winner was verified. The college life also included activi- ties of a more serious nature. Phi The- ta Kappa supportively sponsored two successful bloodmobiles during the year, and Baptist Student Union planned the probability of summer missions with determination. At the same time Campus Security had the rules and regulations under strict con- trol, as they made every effort to serve and protect campus and people. Just a few seconds away, the John A. Walker Center was busy all through the year with out- standing events such as con- certs, plays, and simply programs of pure entertain- ment. The shows featured drama, singing, and fascination as crowds hoarded to the exhibit is to fulfill their de- sires for more than just the same daily routine. Whether students par- ticipated in clubs, sports, or went to see the newest play, it was all about being different.

he college life meant A more than just academ- ics and hard work.. There was more to life than passing grades and adequate credit hours as students struggled through the re- quirements of college. They also demanded more out of the college life. The year was about being different. Starting with the same intentions, students went to classes, but because they wanted more -- they did more. They became ac- tive members of clubs and organizations to make life more pleasing. Working together, mem- bers of clubs and organiza- tions planned and perfected projects to serve the com- e munity better. There were projects that assisted, in- t formed, and entertained, but all resulted from a need j of diversity. Individuals were totally 4 different, and it was their 5 different points of view that made this years distinct from T any other. We all had to learn to blend these differ- i ences together to be benefi- cial. It was a hard goal to achieve, but determination 12 -- CLUBS Sc ORGANIZATIONS mi overcame any conflicts. SGA paved the way for f the entrance of the new school year as they yielded the freshmen picnic on reg- istration day. Sociable Q events were lanned for stu- l p , dents by SGA along with Baptist Student Union and T the Ski Club. These were all concerned regarding what the interests of the students were. r While serving students and the community, Phi Theta Kappa encouraged leadership and scholarship of students, and clubs like Phi Beta Lambda and Ye Host concentrated more on career oriented activities. Protecting the campus and enforcing the campus rules was the Campus Security. All of which gave the year its uniqueness and created the difference. The difference also came when people like Kevin Mir- acle, Daniel Jean, and Da- vid Wiles came together to observe and exprience a partial eclipse as a group. It was the people and ideas or- ganized in a unique way that made the year different.
