FIFTY YEARS OF GROWTH
Man is unable to stop many things in his life. One of the
things man will never be able to stop is time. It is a never
ending change. Time moves on no matter what stands before
it, and has never met a force strong enough to stop it. For the
past fifty years Armstrong State College has been a witness to
the passing of time. In 1935 Armstrong opened its doors in
order to do something about this creature called time. No,
Armstrong did not try to stop time, its task was to help time.
Through education time was to be remembered and enhanced.
And for the past fifty years Armstrong has made a lasting
mark on time, as old meets new at every classroom door and
in every mind that walks through the halls.

MAGICAL REVIEW
The College Onion Board proudly presented the Chinese Magic Revue October 4, 1984 at the Savannah Civic Center. The performers dazzled the audience with their breathtaking stunts as well as their brightly colored costumes. The performers made such acts as balancing on bicycles and jumping through rings of fire look so simple. The Chinese Magic Revue was surely a one of a kind show as well as treat for Armstrong students and the people of Savannah.
FEATURES 19
CHAPELL AS TWAIN
20
When John Chapell walked out on stage October 25 in the Fine Arts Auditorium to entertain an eager audience he lost his identity and became Mark Twain in every way. As Twain, Chapell relived his boyhood adventures of growing up on the Mississippi River. Chapell had his audience rising out of their seats when he turned off all the house lights and told spooky ghost stories by candlelight.
UPPER: Twain takes a moment to remember back. ABOVE: Twain in the spotlight.
FEATURES 21
WILLIAMS AND
REE
The ghosts, goblins, and other strange
creatures that creep around the Armstrong
campus on Halloween night were treated to a
special concert by the comedy team Williams
and Ree. Williams and Ree sang their words to
other peoples tunes and created outrageously
funny songs. Both played guitars and kept their
audience entertained throughout the night.
Williams and Ree have opened concerts in the
past for the famous Oak Ridge Boys.
22
TOM PARKS
Tom Parks sure lived up to his title "1983 Entertainer Of The Year" when he entertained a full house Tuesday, November 13, in the Memorial College Center. Parks blended together outrageously funny stories that dealt with college life, sex, and drugs. Parks enjoyed his audience so much that he made them a part of his act. Even though Parks has not made it to the "Tonight Show." he has played to crowds as large as 18,000. One day Parks hopes to expand his career to television, film, and writing.

The College Cnion Board proudly presented the 1985 Armstrong State College Scholarship Pageant November 3 at 8:00 pm in the Fine Arts Auditorium. The pageant was coordinated by Melanie Strickland under the advisement of Al Harris.

Miss Dia Freeman was crowned Miss A.S.C. 1985 at the end of the evening after also winning the swimsuit, evening gown, and talent competitions. Miss Tammera Bartley was named first runner-up and Miss Kim Albright was named second

COTTON IN CONCERT
November 9, Gene Cotton entertained his audience in the Fine Arts Auditorium
with his soft pop type music. Cotton spent much of his time this past year
touring college and university campuses throughout the United States and
Canada. Cotton has recorded seven albums including Rain On, Save the Dancer,
No Strings Attached, and Eclipse of the Moon. The prestigious Harry Chapin
award was presented to Cotton by colleges and universities from the United
States and Canada for his extensive involvement in world hunger organizations,
anti-nuclear movements, as well as other human service agencies.

Features 29
CARL ROSEN
Carl Rosen entertained Armstrong with his variety of popular ballads. He is known mainly for his ability to duplicate the sounds of artists such as Billy Joel, Elton John, and Bruce Springsteen. Rosen focused directly on his audience by asking for back up vocals and hand clapping. To add a bit of comedy to his act Rosen did spoofs on television commercials, old reruns, and movies. Rosen has appeared in nightclubs and . colleges from Key West, Florida to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. His first album was entitled The Tower and he has planned a second.
30
COMING ACROSS STRONG
Armstrong's St. Patrick's Day weekend was kicked off with a special concert by Mike Cross in the Fine Arts Center. As Cross strummed his six and twelve string guitars he entertained his audience with his whimsical sense of humor and his dra- matic musical arrangements. Cross related to his audience so well because his stories as well as his music were developed as a result of life experiences. Cross's list of albums included Child Prodigy, Born in the Country, and Bounty Hunter.

Coach Eddie Aenchbacher, in his fifth year, led the ASC soccer team to a best ever 9-7 season and a sixth place finish in the Big South Conference. "Soccer Eddie", with the help of Assistant Coach Jamie Browne, guided the team to victories over Augusta College, Columbus College, and Georgia Southwestern College.
Such players as John Golden, Gary Cor- nette, Bill Cobb, and David Nidiffer greatly aided the team through their winning sea- son. In fact John Golden and David Nidiffer finished among the conference elite with 38 points for the year.
Next year almost the entire squad will return to try and top their best record ever.

The Lady Pirates of the 1984-85 season had some- thing to cheer about. The team concluded the first half of the season with a 10-2 record. Among the victims was nationally ranked Berry College, 66-65. A late ASC free throw saved the day. This was #2 Berry's first district defeat in over four years. The Lady Pirates also topped a strong Kennesaw College team in early January, 93-55.
Coach Betty Ford, in her 9th year, rapidly led the lady Pirates to a #2 spot in the District 25 NAIA.
The team was graced with such talents as, Debra Danielson, Linda Waters, Cynthia Hargrave, and Ta- lenthia Dixon.

The basketball team of the 1983- 84 year reached an incredible, best ever season with a 25-6 overall re- cord. In his first year in Savannah, Head Coach Renny Bryner also led the Pirates to a #18 National Rank- ing.
The winning season started off with a series of eleven consecutive wins, an ASC record. This placed Armstrong in a Top Ten national ranking position. The victories came from unique shooting and passing ac- curacy, along with the defense which was able to hold out and make possi- ble many close games.
Bryner was able to build the win- ning team out of eleven newcomers and one returnee. Among these play- ers were Gino Grover, who was named to the Conference All-fresh- man team, and Captain Tommy Blacksheer who captured All-confer- ence and All-district awards.

The Armstrong State Pirate base- ball team had a very successful 1983-84 season. Coach Joe Roberts, in his fifth year, led the Pirates to a 63-17 record: the best season ASC baseball had ever seen. This was enough to rank the team third in the nation in the NAIA division. Mike Smiciklas and David Poulos both earned Honorable Mention all Ameri- can Honors.
The 1984-85 season will be a new challenge for the Pirates as they com- pete in NCAA Division I. However, the team will not be able to play in the NCAA post season tournament in 1985, because the rules require that teams take one year to convert to NCAA Guidelines. The Pirates will be eligible for Big South Conference post season play.

Armstrong State College had a cross country team for the first time in several years. The team had five members, which was the minimum required number. Coaches Willis Jones and Pat Cox opened practice in early August.
The season opened on Septem- ber 15, at the Berry Invitational in Rome, Ga. The team did fair, con- sidering that no one on the team had ever run a collegiate race, fin- ishing 15th out of 20.
Despite the slow start, the Cross Country team concluded its first season with a 7th place finish in the Big South Conference. The runners showed consistent im- provement throughout the sea- son. The top Pirate runner, Jim Brown, earned all conference hon- ors by finishing 10th in the confer- ence championship.

Intramurals once again played an important part in Armstrong's student life. During the fall quarter many students participated in the exciting flag football competition. Both men and ladies competed in the Sunday afternoon match- ups. At the end of a rigorous season the two top teams were chosen, one from the mens division and one from the ladies division, to represent Armstrong in the inter collegiate championships held in Atlanta. The Armstrong teams did well while finishing second and third.

LIFE IN SAVANNAH
BBflHI
In 1935 Armstrong State College opened its doors to the students of Savannah, Georgia, seeking a higher education. Savannah, one of the most historic and interesting cities of the south, offers the perfect environ- ment for college students. Whether one is interested in the fast paced life of River Street or the carefree spring days in the downtown squares, Sa- vannah has it all. Savannah also fea- tures the great pleasures of the At- lantic Ocean, where most students spend long summer days soaking up the sun. On a much quieter and more calm day a student can enjoy the historice beauty of the Victorian dis- trict downtown or take a tour of the city in a horse drawn buggy. So whether it is the fast life or the more calm life a student desires, Savannah has both to offer.

Because Armstrong is a commuter college certain places have become important to the students that might not seem so important to the students of larger colleges. One of these places is the cafeteria. Over the years the cafeteria has become the major meeting place and social hangout for Armstrong students. At any given time of the day one can find students crowded around the tables talking and laughing, watching the latest movie in Studio A, trying out their skills at the video games or the pool tables and yes, students also take time out to grab a bite to eat.

WORKING STUDENTS
Not all college students are lucky enough to have their education financed by Mom and Dad or by some other source, so they have to work in order to pay for their education. Sometimes working and going to school can really get hectic but the ones who really want an education manage. On the other hand there are stu- dents who work just to have that little bit of cash for the weekend. According to some Armstrong students working doesn't get in the way of their studies it is really just something to fill up their spare time.

The 1985 Homecoming celebra- tion was marked with a weeklong list of activities ending with the Homecoming dance itself. Orga- nized by the College Union Board, Homecoming Week included such activities as the water pistol shoot- out, the legs contest, and the Trea- sure Hunt. For those who partici- pated, the week was full of fun and excitement, with most of the excitement coming on Casino Night. Casino Night gave the stu- dents a chance to press their luck and to go for the Gold.
The week ended with the bas- ketball game at the Civic Center. The game pitted the Pirates of Armstrong against the Cougars of Colombus. Even though the Pi- rates fell short in the end, the stands were filled with excited supporters, already awaiting the next game.

Dr. H. Dean Propst, executive vice chan- cellor of the University System of Georgia, was elected chancellor of the University System. The board of regents of the Uni- versity System chose Propst for the posi- tion at their November 14th meeting in Atlanta. Propst will assume his duties on July 1, 1985, succeeding Dr. Vernon Craw- ford, who served as chancellor for five years. Propst was the dean of Armstrong and professor of English in 1969. He was named vice president and dean of faculty and professor of English in 1976. Later in 1979 Propst joined the Board of Regent's staff as vice chancellor for academic devel- opment. In 1981 he was named vice chan- cellor and has served as executive vice chancellor since 1983.

Henry L. Ashmore, former Armstrong State College president, was named inter- im executive director of the commission on colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

ENGINEERING SCHOOL AT ARMSTRONG
/
Dr. Robert Burnett, president of Arm- strong State College and Dr. Wendell Ray- burn, President of Savannah State College prepared a proposal for a school of engi- neering to be in Savannah and operated jointly by Armstrong State College and Sa- vannah State College. The proposal was submitted to the chancellor of the Universi- ty System of Georgia and requests authori- zation and funding to meet the increasing need for a local engineering school. The school will offer baccalaureate degrees at first in electrical and mechanical engineer- ing. Degree programs in industrial, civil, chemical, aerospace, and computer engi- neering would be added in five years. This new engineering school would allow Arm- strong students as well as Savannah State students to complete three full years in an engineering program before transferring to an engineering school to complete their degree. Dr. Burnett and Dr. Rayburn both feel that it would be no problem in recruit- ing educators to fill the positions of the new school.
WHERE'S THE DORM? /-
This year marked a major decision in the future of Armstrong State college. The Board of Regents gave their approval for the construction of dormitories by private developers. The request for dorms original- ly came from Armstrong's president, Dr. Robert Burnett. For years the school has been trying to get the approval for dorms, because Armstrong has been at a disad- vantage in meeting its minority enrollment expectations. Dorms would attract more students to come to Armstrong from out of town and they would not have to worry about finding an apartment or other means of housing. Dorms would also expand Arm- strong's role as a regional health education center. School officials are hoping the con- struction work can begin towards the end of 1985, with students living in the dorms in the early part of 1986.

From Frankfurt they traveled through Vienna, Austria, Budapest, and Hungary. They then ventured through Salzburg, Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, Venice, Florence and finally in Milan. They re- turned back to the states on March 29th with a thousand memories and stories. This group was surely treated to an exper- ience of a lifetime.
COMPUTER CENTER
/
Armstrong's newest addition, the Aca- demic Computing Center, formally opened on October 25, 1984. The center was co- ordinated by Mr. Konrad Clemens, a for- mer A.S.C. computer programmer. Back in August 1983, Mr. Clemens held semi- nars on the use of the facilities for the faculty as well as for the students trying to promote academic computing on Arm- strong's campus. The new center contains separate minicomputer and microcom- puter facilities along with library of micro- computer software. The computer center was badly needed because the computer science majors represent the largest de- gree program at Armstrong. The Arm- strong Alumni Association donated two mi- crocomputers to help support the comput- er center.

It Happened This Year
At
Armstrong
201
CANS ANYONE?
It was a cold day in Armstrong history. Faculty members and students alike were disappearing all over the campus. No one seemed to know where they were being taken except the girls from Alpha Gamma. In an effort to raise food for needy people in the Savannah area for Thanksgiving, the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority was holding its annual "kidnap for cans". The ransom to get kidnapped persons out of jail was canned food. The effort proved to be a great success.
FIGHTING FOR YOGR
LIFE
The Christmas season is a time for giv- ing. This Christmas Armstrong took part in a special kind of giving. In conjunction with radio station WWSA, Armstrong spon- sored a Christmas Tree for Lungs program. The idea was for people to purchase snow- man ornaments to place on the Christmas tree with all proceeds going to the Ameri- can Lung Association. Miss Armstrong, Dia Freeman, joined in by placing the snowmen on the tree. The project turned out to be a big success for both the Lung Association and Armstrong.

Teams made up of six jumpers took turns jumping for three hours. Prizes were awarded to the participants and to the top team which raised the most mon- ey.

THE OLD TIMERS
Before the Armstrong State men's and lady's teams took the floor on Homecoming night, the fans saw a game of a different sort. The word had been sent out that any former athlete of Armstrong was welcome to participate in the annual Oldtimers Basketball Game. About 20 former Armstrong ath- letes showed up to prove who was still in shape. The game proved to be a high- ly enjoyable game with many exciting plays from both teams
