According to the American Heritage Dictionary, perspective is a noun that represents the relationship of aspects of a subject to each other and to a whole. Each of us is an individual at Stetson, but as a whole, we make up the University. The unique personalities of the students mesh together to form the Hatters, the residents, the organizations, and most importantly, the school. To the present students and those of the past, each will remember the special times and lasting knowledge that has earned Stetson its reputation as a close knit community.
Each building has a special history, with the foundations carrying the pride and tradition that have been bestowed upon this institution since 1883, witnessing the perspectives of those that have lingered in the historic halls. It has been said that a sum is often greater than its
parts. In Stetson's case, it is each of the parts that make the sum so great. One should remem- ber that with each student comes different per- spectives, the building blocks which combine to make Stetson a home away from home. Although the education gained spans over a few years, the perspectives constantly develop and welcome the future. Ferris Bueller's Day Off echoed the sentiment, "Life moves by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around a while, you could miss it."
To the students, faculty members, and friends of Stetson, gain the perspective and stop to take a look around here, a world within a community. Got perspective?

The annual organizational fair is a great
way for all of the incoming students to
learn about the different organizations
on campus. Numerous students attend
the fair each year, where prizes are
given out to entice students to sign up.
Becky Kruse, member of Wesley House,
gave curious students information about
her organization.
Eddie Buchholz, Rick Albriche, Frank Stillman huddle together to plan the next play for their intramural football game for Alpha Tau Omega. Intramurals are a very important part of the university . All of the fraternities, sororities, as well as many organiza- tions participate to earn top honors each year.
Juliette Shaw and Julie Creech
showed their talent by singing during
"Karaoke Night" in Nightlights. Many
students attended this event which
allowed many to showcase their
singing talents. There are many events
like this one that enable a student to
become an active part of the student
body, while also having fun.

As students, life as we know it has changed progressively over the years. As elementary school students, we colored, played games and, as we entered the upper grade levels, finally got used to switching classes. In middle school, classes became more difficult as we flirted with the opposite sex and explored new hobbies and activities. In high school, final exams came up on us and stress found its way into our hearts and minds. But still we somehow found ways to entertain ourselves with parties, football games and friends. We all found our own niche within the walls of our high schools. Some went to parties and some studied. Some were athletic and some were musical. Many found that the ideal life of a student was to relax and take it all in stride, while some thrived under pressure. When we entered college, we all had different expectations as to what the life of a student would be like. Most of them rang true, while others turned out to he false. Regardless of previous expectations, students' views of life ended up being relatively pleasant. First-year student Curtis Smith said "I expected Stetson to have a calm laid back atmo-
sphere, and when I got here that is exactly what I found. I could see that my college experience would be a great one." Sophomore Richard Sykes' expecta- tions differed from his reality of student life, however. "When I came to college, I was expecting to be more worried about class work and teachers and less about administration. I had this perfect little world in my head about a place where everyone is more than willing to help each other." For Sykes, the image of college parties and wild weekends was somewhat untrue. "I never expected I'd actually have nothing to do on the weekend, or be trapped in a lab or behind a desk reading or doing homework." Senior Brian Douglas said, "I believe the ideal student should be more committed to a balance between learning and fun than most Stetson students are. You only get four years to do all of this and live so freely; you're only an undergraduate once. Take it from a senior, you've got to take advantage of this while you can!" Whether or not one's expectations turned out to be true, students were determined to make the most of what student life handed them and enjoy college while they could.
A transformation occurred on fraternity row as the "pit" was cleared and set up to host a variety of local bands. The first ever Rock Against Cancer was sponsored by Sigma Phi Epsilon with cosponsors such as the American Cancer Society, CSA, Pepsi-Cola, LPGA International, and Delta Delta Delta. The concert helped to raise money for the American Cancer Society and was in honor of two Sigma Phi Epsilon brothers who were afflicted with the disease. Local bands included FuUerton, Preferred 53, See Reverse, Dirty Candy, and Blue Flame Combo. The concert's first year attempt proved to be a success as students gathered to watch, dance, and sing for a good cause.
Daniel Henry, Gabriella VanVerveer, and Karalea Larr enjoyed a break outside of the always busy DuPont Ball Library during the first week of school. Surrounding the fountain were many grassy areas where students could sit and read, socialize or eat, while taking a much-needed break from studying. "I took a nap there once," said Sophomore Andrea Rowe. "And on my birthday I ran across the grass to get away from the people trying to throw me in the fountain." Sometimes a simple change in environment led the students to study under the many trees that adorned this area, one of the most central locations on campus. The sunlight dappled the lawn, providing shade from the heat while also aiding some in their search for the perfect tan. The atmosphere surrounding these areas was always peaceful, offering a safe haven for everyone to enjoy.
"Do you trust me?" was the question on these Girls Volleyball players' minds as one of their teammates prepared to fall backward in their arms off a platform. This "trust fall" was just one part of a ropes course which the team participated in as part of their preseason training. It took place at the Florida Keys youth camp in Eustis. They did various activities to help them gain a sense of team unity and friendship while also building leadership skills within the ;iiOup. Finding a niche and a place to belong was very important to students, as it is the first taste of "real life" for most. Sports teams offered the opportunity to socialize and work with others who shared a common interest.

When you think of FOCUS/SOAR (first year student orientation), the first thing that come to mind is freshmen. Every year since 1 980, the office of Student Life has provided an opportunity for new students to participate in a 4 day orientation program called FOCUS. With "FOCUS" as the acronym for "friends on campus," the purpose became helping students learn more about Stetson's academic as well as campus life. Just as important is the assistance given to transition the students into Stetson life. First year student Ryan Rudd commented that "FOCUS was a good place to meet people and learn more about the school before the year actually started."
The program recognizes that beginning a new school is often just as hard for the families of the new students. Parents or guardians are letting go of their young "future graduates" and have as many, if not more, questions than their student. Special sessions are held throughout the program that help to answer their questions and concerns.
Putting on this year's 4-day program was an enormous task. Undertaken by Student Life and a staff of roughly 40 student leaders, sessions such PlayFair, placement testing, and registration were made possible. The conclusion of FOCUS/SOAR brought both new and returning students together in the Rinker Fieldhouse for a "Night of Hip Hop" featuring rap artist Rahzel. FOCUS was considered a success as the students began to feel that they were a part of Stetson and the students' families felt a sense of relief.
The 2001 FOCUS staff returned to campus four days before FOCUS began for extensive training. After participating in numerous activities and hearing speal<ers from a wide variety of Stetson staff, such as Paul Marcaurelle of Food Services and IVIichelle Espinosa of Residential Life, the leaders were ready to assist the first year students.
A great coversation starter, temporary airbrush tatoos were available in the Mollis Center during FOCUS.

WHERE TO PARK?
BY CAIG MARSK PHOTOS BY KATHER 1 NE KNOCHE "What do I do? There's nowhere to park!" Students coming back to their dorms after an evening out or a weekend at home often heard these phrases. With stricter parking codes enforced the first days of class, students often found themselves walking further to their cars than to class.
The new parking plan consisted of breaking the campus into 4 quadrants: east, central, north and west. Students were assigned parking decals with the specific area of resi- dence displayed. In previous years, students living in the new east district (Gordis, Smith, and Nemec) had been known to drive across campus to park closer to their classes or to the cafeteria. This took spaces away from needy residents of halls such as Emily, Chaudoin, and Stetson. "It's such a small and self-contained campus," said William Neutzel, "that you shouldn't need to drive anywhere. Especially not to class." These restrictions prompted Public Safety to step up enforcement of the new regulations. Officers cited drivers with numerous tickets until students realized that this was no joke. With more restricted parking procedures in place, cars competed for prime spaces within their area. Many times, parking meant walking a block from the residence hall to your car parked in an additional lot. The overcrowded parking facilities prompted the idea of restricting freshmen cars on campus along with a number of other proposed solutions to the problem. "It's important that freshmen be able to drive and park on campus. Students away from home and work need transportation. It would be unfair to restrict this type of privilege," said Angelo Goderre.
Parking may not have been the most controversial issue on campus, but it was certainly one that struck close to home for many. Having a vehicle on campus became a way of life for students, something they did not want to be without.

Students who did test their luck with parking enforcement officers often found themselves either without a car, or with a hefty fine to pay. Above Left: A rarity at any dorm, this open parking space won't stay that way for too long. Stricter parking restrictions and a new decal program did, however, help to alleviate some of the overcrowding of parking lots in the heart of campus. Top Right: Brighter, more visible decals for faculty were in place so that their prized spaces could be reserved. It became easy to spot a faculty member driving around town by the brilliant blue decal adorning the vehicle. Bottom Right: A new addition to the student decals was the letter preceding the registration number. This letter signified the area in which the vehicles' owner was permitted to park. Students who parked in restricted areas or the wrong lots often pay the price. Parking areas included the central, north, west, and east.

The artist Steve Danko was exhibiting his work in the Duncan Gallery of Art during Family Weekend. His show, "Horror Vacul" was a mixed-media exhibition incorporating painting, photography, drawings and sculpture. The opening reception was a week before Family Weekend, on Friday, October 13, but the exhibition continued through November 10. Many students and their families took the opportu- nity to see the show.
"Horror Vacui," the title of
Steve Danko's show,
means the fear of open
spaces. Using this
concept, the artist covered
the walls of the gallery with
a wide array of his
experimental, yet very
interesting work.

The weekend of October 20-22 brought some new faces to campus as family weekend commenced. This special time brought family members to campus and allowed them to experience a little bit of campus life while enjoying their students' company. For many out-of-state students, it was the first time they had seen their parents since the day they moved to campus. For others, it was not such a big deal, since their families lived close by. This year, the theme for Family Weekend was "Cabaret 2000, Presenting Stetson's Finest" and thus had an overall Broadway theme. The various events had Broadway names such as "God Spell" for the Baptist Campus Ministries' dinner theater. The events started on Friday with parents checking in from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tours were offered as well as lunch in the Commons. One of the featured events throughout the weekend was Stetson's production of "Into The Woods" in Stover Theater, which sold out all four days. Saturday brought the greatest variety of activities of the three days. There was a reception in the morning with the president of the university, and an open house at the Gillespie Museum of Minerals. An address was given by the President followed by lunch around Holler Fountain. The Duncan Gallery of Art was also open for families to view. No matter what activity was chosen, it was guaranteed to be a good time for all. Of course there was a performance of "Into the Woods" in the evening, along with the main event of the weekend, "Cabaret 2000." At this time, students performed Broadway and Jazz-style music for the families in attendance. On Sunday, it was time to say farewell, as breakfast was the last meal together at Family Weekend 2000. Family Weekend provided a wonderful opportunity for families to see what Stetson is all about.

What would you say was the biggest culture shock for you when you came to the United States for the first time?
"The American slang really threw nne off the wall!" - Siu Wah Wong, Hong Kong Senior, Biochemistry & Ciiemistry
"I did not have the biggest cultural shock. When I came I decided not to wonder on anything. All things that were strange to me I consumed as some interesting information I should hold for future use. So there wasn't much of the cultural shock or maybe I just do not remember, since it was more than a year ago." Asya Kurmangalinova, Kazakhstan Fresliman, Business
How would you compare college life in your country to college life here?
"The school system is harder back in Norway, only one final exam that counts 100%, so if you do bad, you don't get a second chance!" Kjell Aashelm, Norway Graduate Student, Business
What advice would you give to Americans who have not had the opportunity to see another part of the world, as you have?
"Travel! It is the most fantastic and amazing thing to get to know people from other places. Keep your eyes open, because everyone around you carries his own world, that's good enough. Use the opportunity to come together with people, they'll be just grateful." -Torben Gerliard l-lolzliausen, Germany Junior, Music Major
"If you'll ever happen to go anywhere, tell them that you are Canadian rather than American. People have less
prejudice against them."
Asya Kurmangalinova, Kazakhstan
Freshiman, Business
"Well, I'd tell to my American feliaz, that America is not the "whole world" they see. Do discover the world fully for themselves, they need to go out beyond the legal boundaries of the US. There are so many different cultures, faces, dishes out there that they could have never thought about. And the further they go, the more they see, the more they learn. Life is not always about what you have, you have to seek for new. Something that you might have never known is waiting you out there, face the challenge. Life is short." [odSaidov, Uzbekistan •r. Business
"My ^dvice to them would be that they should try to visit at least one 3rd World country in Africa, so that they
cartlee how some of the people are suffering. Hence, they shouldn't take their citizenship for granted so
much."

Every year in early November, Stetson participates in its fund-raiser known as Greenfeather. In its 46"' year, Greenfeather featured community service days at the opening and closing of the week when students will donate volunteer hours to some of the West Volusia agencies the charity events support. "Service Wanted" was this year's theme.
Stetson student organizations around the campus: sororities, fraternities, residence halls, clubs, and other groups compete against each other to raise the most money during the week by also holding public events, such as a yard sale, to involve the DeLand community. Student organizations pay a fee to enter the events and receive participation points for their involvement, with each organiza- tion competing for the most points.
Throughout the 46-year history of Greenfeather, events and activities have changed to adapt to the student audience. This year, several new events will be added, including the "Greenfeather 500," in which participants ride tricycles in a relay race around the middle of campus, and the Twister Tournament, with teams playing the game of Twister until a single campus champion team is declared. Such events will complement the more traditional chalk-art contest, basketball tournament, bowling night, banner contest and rock-a-thon, in which students in rocking chairs take shifts rocking and soliciting money from passersby. One of the most popular events was "Ainwaves," in which the different organiza- tions prepared lip-synch performances to delight and amuse the audience. With exciting events such as this, it is no wonder why Greenfeather is one of the highlights here at Stetson.
Brian Derby and Jaclyn Nesheiwat were the hosts for this year's most popular Greenfeather event, Air Waves. As many of the fraternities, sororities, and organiza- tions lip-synched their way across the Rinker Field House stage, the audience cheered and laughed at the many exciting dance moves and parodies. Britney Spears did not appear during the show, but many of the acts showed dedication and practice, making it a fun event for all to participate in and watch.
Around the CUB they went, many of the students competing while also trying to stay on the bikes and not fall off. With many students as spectators, the spirit was high and the bicycles went round and round. Scott Gill, a member of Phi Sigma Kappa, is seen here cycling his way past a competitor.

students need to get away from it all not only during exams, but at various times through- out the year. Many choose to go out to dinner or just hang out with friends at an alternate location. One of these locations is Gator's Dockside in DeLand, a sports bar known for its wings. Year round, a break from studying was welcomed by all.

No matter what their major, how many organizations they are involved in, or how much free time they have every day, every student encounters stress. Some have been plagued by stress for longer than others, and have found ways to deal with the pressure. But for others, college is their first taste of that pressure and they don't have any idea how to deal with the stress of such things as an increased work load and final exams For those who felt they needed a break from studying for their exams, the Mollis Center offered that break. Every year during exam week (in Fall and Spring), they sponsored the "Stress Free Zone". Inside the Hollis Center were massage stations, free food, a board game room, and plenty of time to relax. The Stress Free Zone offered students an event to look forward to during the bleak time of stress and pressure at the end of each semester. In addition to this Hollis Center event, many RA's sponsored stress relievers in their residence halls during finals. This could be a movie screening, free food and drinks, games, music or anything to get students' minds off of studying.
But stress isn't something that students just experience during exams, rather, it is something that they deal with on a daily basis. To keep from getting too stressed out, students would take breaks during the week to go out to dinner, to hang out in a friend's room, or to go to a movie. On weekends and Thursdays, many students relieved their stress by hitting the bars and clubs in town or in nearby Orlando. Either way you look at it, stress is a natural part of college life, and students are always finding new ways to relieve it.
One of the activities at the "Stress-Free Zone" was a game room, giving students the
opportunity to enjoy some old favorites such as "Trivial Pursuit" and try out some new
ones, such as "Survivor." Some students even got crafty by making jewelry with a
bead-making kit. The "Stress-Free Zone" ensured that students could survive
something far more terrifying than the Australian Outback or a deserted island: final
exams.
CSA did something new
by having a concert in
an outdoor setting at
Rinl<er Field. Melissa
Gainey thought that
"having the Sister
Hazel/ Big Sky concert
outside on campus as
an 'Under the Stars'
theme was a great
idea. It definately drew
a huge crowd of
people."
Singing their more popular
song, "All For You," Sister
Hazel drove the Stetson
fans crazy. The band was
not only a local hit, but a
national hit as well. "All For
You" was the group's first
single, and one of the most
played songs of 1997.

Bigger acts, the number one request by the student body for the Council of Student Activities (CSA). This year they fulfilled that request beyond many people's expectations. Preparations for a concert began months in advance and CSA managed to secure a band whose popularity among college students was wide spread. The show opened with a Stetson favorite: Big Sky. Following their performance was none other than Sister Hazel. The group played a number of their top hits, including "All For You." Sister Hazel seemed an appropriate choice being that they were a semi- local band, hailing from Gainsville. They have spent the past three years touring the world and were promoting their third release, "Fortress." The event was co-programmed by Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Nu, the Commu- nity Service Office, OxFam, and Residential Life.
Rather than hosting the event inside Rinker Fieldhouse, the location chosen was Rinker Field, outside the Hollis Center. A stage was erected that included a top-notch speaker system and lighting. The cool, clear weather helped to draw a crowd of around 1 ,500. Beyond the actual performance, a variety of stands were set up to sell concessions and Big Sky/ Sister Hazel merchandise. Furthermore, promoters offered free samples of their prod- ucts to the concert go-ers.
The show proved to be a great success for CSA and all those involved. The student body reaction was definitely taken note of and more "large scale" events are being planned for the future.

This past January, Stetson moved all business classes to the Bank of America due to renovations to the LBC. Major construction has already occurred on the LBC and will continue until the new business center is opened in the fall of 2002.
student life
BY SAL MANCINI, PHOTOS BY KATHERINE KNOCHE
One of the biggest changes on campus this year was the closing of the Lynn Business Center for renovations. Plans have been in the making ever since Christine Lynn made a $1 0 million donation. The new building which is sched- uled to open by the Fall 2002 semester will be very different from the LBC we know today. The renovation will add almost 1 5,000 square feet to the building, including a 1 50-seat auditorium, and two new wings, one for the accounting department and the other for the Center for Information Technology. Other major changes include a brick resurfacing, 12 "smart" classrooms (with the latest technology installed), and videoconferencing capabilities. While all of these changes are occurring, all business classes have been temporarily moved to the Bank of America, located in downtown DeLand. "The extra two-block walk isn't too bad, especially when the weather's nice," said seniorfinance major Jon Hartl. "I was very skeptical of the move when it was first approved, but the Bank has accommodated the students very nicely," added Hartl. Business classes took place on the second and third floors of the Bank, with a lounge located on the third floor. Many of the business students began to go into the downtown area for lunch. "I'm glad that it's [the Bank of America] so close to Bellini's" said senior finance major Jason Smith. Students could be seen at many local eateries from deli's like Bellini's to sit down restaurants like Havana Cuba. This was definitely the best move for the university to make, and many of the younger students will be able to reap great benefits from the newly improved LBC.
Students have their own parking lot at the Bank of America. IVIany people are now driving to the new business school from campus, forcing the bank to allocate spots for "bank customers only." There are, however, students who are willing to get exercise and to walk the extra two blocks downtown to the building.

stetson's Council for Student Activities is a betiind-the-scenes organization that puts together all of the events that students call "fun." The campus handbook describes CSA as "the organization responsible for providing entertainment events and programs for the Stetson student body." Typically, this programming includes concerts, lectures, comedi- ans and other forms of entertainment and education to keep the campus alive. Tradition- ally, CSA kicks off the year with events during FOCUS, new student orientation. This year the band Jim's Big Ego kicked off the festivities after playfair, with an estimated 300 people in attendance. Another big night during FOCUS was the Dive-in Movie, in which the movie "Road Trip" was shown by the pool. Over 250 students attended this event. Rounding things out for the FOCUS weekend, the self-described "vocal percussionist" Rahzel wowed a crowd of 200 with his incredible talent. Freshman Mark Maundrell said, "Rahzel was amazing. It was a great choice for FOCUS because his music is diverse and his talent is unbelievable". Scream week was also well-attended. It included "Scream III" being shown on a big screen at Hulley Tower and a performance by comedian Jamie Kelley, who co-starred in the movie. As well as providing events on campus, CSA often organizes outside trips to places such as this year's Halloween Horror nights. The annual Stress Free Zone in the Hollis Center was also planned during finals week for students who needed to relax. The second semester held a busy schedule, with the much- anticipated hypnotist Tom Deluca performing in January. This was an even that students had come to look fonward to every year. One of the participants, Sidney Jackson said, "It was really fun to be a part of his show, but I would love to see it from the audience's point of view next time!" As you can see, with the job of keeping Stetson students entertained, CSA advisor Holli Berry and her team of students have their work cut out for them.

The gazebo in front of Carson and Mollis Halls is great place to study, talk, or just hang out with friends. Although considered co- educational, Carson houses the males, while Mollis is the female residence hall. With the largest laundry facilities on campus and a spacious lounge with a big-screen TV, this L-shaped building provides a great way to jump into the freshman year. Many students living there value the small size and sense of community that comes along with this type of specialty housing.

Community baths, sharing rooms, and being locked out are all part of the residential experience. Besides the usual upperclassmen and freshmen dorms, there are special interest housing programs at Stetson that focus on community and even some of the academic programs.
While wall<ing to the east side of campus, the sidewalk passes the L-shaped build- ings of the Carson-Hollis dormitories. It is a unique co-ed layout; although the buildings are connected, Carson houses 100 boys, and Hollis houses 100 girls. Its main inhabitants are freshmen, and is also the location for freshmen Honors students and those participating in University Experience.
If a student has an interest in extending the use of language beyond the classroom, the Foreign Language House is a unique area set aside for students who are actively enrolled in the study of foreign languages as well as for international students. Students living there also have the opportunity to explore various aspects of culture and increase language proficiency.
There are also on-campus apartments located in the south part of campus on Amelia Avenue. Now known as the Community Service House, the Best Apartments are spacious and provide all the amenities, including a living area and kitchen. Many students have found the special interest housing a definite benefit since it can help ease the transition into college life, while still providing the social atmosphere in which all students take advantage in college. Heather Brown, a first-year student, currently lives in Hollis Hall and enthusiastically states, "I think one of the most important aspects of going to college is the residence hall. I am glad to have been placed here since it provided me with friendships, study groups, and fun!"
The Foreign Language House, located between Conrad Hall and Sorority Row, has all the amenities an international or language-oriented student would want in housing With students speaking languages such as Spanish, French, and German, a conver- sation is never hard to find. Specialty housing at its best. Stetson finds ways for all
students to come together

"Airwaves" is a student lip-sync contest tinat is one of tine Greenfeather fundraising events. This event is by far Greenfeather's most popular, in order to participate in the various Greenfeather events, student organizations pay an entry fee to enter each event and receive participation points for their involvement, with each organization competing for the most participation points.
Second and third place winners were recognized in this event, however, the top four honors were Best Sorority, Best Fraternity, Best Organization, and Best Overall. This year, both the Best Fraternity and the Best Overall honors were awarded to Alpha Phi Alpha, Stetson's first historically black fraternity. AOA's amazing performance was lead by senior Will Robertson. When asked about Alpha Phi Alpha's win, Robertson said, "It [Airwaves] was fun. We practiced extremely hard and expected to win something, but we had no idea that we would win Best Fraternity and Best Overall. The win was both surprising and exciting for the fraternity as a whole. Right now, we are just trying to keep the momentum as we prepare for Greek Sync."
The Baptist Collegiate Ministry took home the trophy for Best Organization, with their rendition of Dean Martin's Italian favorite, "That's Amore."
The Best Sorority honors went to the Alpha Phi Alpha's sister sorority, the AKA's. The Alpha Kappa Alpha's took top honors with their outstanding performance to a hip hop medley, including Aaliyah's "Try Again," Outkast's "Bombs Over Baghdad," and LIT Kim's "How Many Licks." AKA president Natara Williams said: "We were all really happy about the win. We worked really hard because we love performing, especially in the "Ainwaves" competition. However, we never thought that we would win top honors. It was just a really nice surprise and I was very excited."

During the holiday season the Student Government Association sponsored the community wide "Adopt an Angel" program. Residence halls, fraternities, sororities, clubs and individuals chose the name of a child from the Christmas tree located in the lobby of the Carlton Union building. Sponsors then regis- tered their child with Mickey Parker in the Mollis Center and picked up the child's Christmas wish list. Weeks of shopping and searching for the perfect gift culminated in the "Adopt an Angel" dinner.
Loads of children, accompanied by their parents and/or grandparents gathered in the Stetson Room where they met their student sponsor for the first time. The room was filled with the holiday spirit as Santa Claus read "Twas The Night Before Christmas" and carols played in the background. Not only were the children excited about opening presents, but the sponsors felt great about giving into the holiday spirit.
When asked about his participation in the Adopt An Angel program, sopho- more Derrick Dewitt stated, "I love seeing people happy, and i just wanted to give some child a great Christmas"
First year student Valerie Fischer, adopted a 1 3-year-old girl, and felt that it was a rewarding experience. She said, "I felt like it was Christmas day for me, because I was so excited to give her the present and to see her open it." When asked if she will participate next year, Valerie, without hesitation, answered: "Definitely!"
The entire campus felt the holiday spirit, and decorations could be seen around campus, such as those in the display case in the library. Sorority houses glowed with colored lights as residents in Emily Hall trimmed their fiber optic Christmas trees. This year, the winter holiday break was extremely long, lasting for approxi- mately a month. Many students went home for the break, and others took advantage of the Northern snow and hit the ski slopes.
Christmas decorations adorned the doors of many offices and buildings around campus.

STETSON WEEKEND
BY KRISTEN WILLIAMS. PHOTOS BY KATHER 1 NE KNOCHE
"Stetson Weekend" is another name for Homecoming Weekend at Stetson University. TInis is a time for alumni to return to campus and to enjoy a variety of activities as well as mingling with present undergraduates. Many current students take part in the planning and execution of Stetson Weekend activities, including the Multicultural Student Council, and the Stetson Alumni Association.
Stetson Weekend 2001 was packed with celebration festivities, as the Stetson commu- nity braced themselves for the unveiling of the actual fund-raising dollar amount from the $200 Million Campaign, in the largest fund-raising effort in the school's history, Stetson University has raised well over $235 million. The culmination of the campaign took place in the Rinker Field House in the Hollis Center on January 26, at the "Thanks For Our Future" donor appreciation dinner. As the evening came to an end, the highly anticipated banner was dropped from the rafters revealing the actual $235,584,479 dollar amount, the Stetson Jazz Ensemble played, balloons dropped, and the audience cheered.
Stetson President Doug Lee thanks the supporters as the slogan "Victory Comes From Doing Your Best" hung on both sides of the gymnasium wall. Over 8,700 supporters joined the national campaign, lead by Hyatt and Cici Brown and Mark and Lynn Hollis. The celebration atmosphere carried over to the Edmunds Center that Saturday as alumni and current students cheered for the Hatter Men's Basketball Team, who played TAAC rivals University of Central Florida. The fans roared as Santos Hampton and Sebastian Singletary scored 28 and 1 8 points respectively, leading the Hatters to an 83-65 win overthe Knights. I smell VICTORY in the air!!

Especially for first-year students, much of the new school anticipation is over who they will be sharing their room with. During the spring, many freshmen filled out a survey about their likes, dislikes and other various questions. The Depart- ment of Residential Life worked avidly in pairing up compatible roommates that don't necessarily have to be best friends, but can at least get along. If the pairing doesn't work, at least there are the escapes of room change week, which is offered throughout the year. Luckily for upperclassmen, they can choose to not go through the lottery system again, and instead choose a roommate on their own.
Having a roommate can be a completely new experience for most coming here to Stetson. Since many were used to living alone, there is quite a transition to getting used to having someone else in the room, playing music, studying, or visiting with friends. The Roommate Agreement was developed in order to bring to the surface many of the common issues. From room visiting hours to the condition of the room, the signatures are that of agreement to each other's wishes concerning residential life.
Many agree on the idea that the relationship can work well as long as there is effort from both sides. Plus, the perks of a suite bath involve the downside of sharing it with three other people. Therefore, the lessons from kindergarten about the importance of sharing come back many years later in living situations. If that doesn't sound too great, there are always single rooms, but it's important to keep in mind that there aren't enough to go around the entire student body, so choose carefully!

Keeping on track with Stetson's 'diversity' mission, organizations on campus provided numerous opportunities for a wide variety and level of involvement. With over 90 organizations ranging from the Russian Club to Model Senate, you could hardly argue that there was not something for everyone.
Organizations were divided into eight categories. These included academic, honorary, religious, activity, service, campus life, Greek, and special interest. While the organizations varied in membership number, becoming involved was a fairly easy process. For most organizations, twice year applications were accepted and reviewed
With the diversity aspect of Stetson organizations established, it is important to acknowledge the benefit of organization involvement. Participating in extracurriculars on campus enhances the student's academic and personal development. It is an opportunity to use skills such as public speaking, rather than just hearing about them in the classroom.
According to senior Into the Streets chairperson, Kaila Campos, "Being involved with Into the Streets has given me numerous opportunities

Organizations school-wide took a leading role in Daytona Beach's American Heartwalk. Members posted a large banner in front of the CUB, and took turns asking passing students and faculty for sponsorship. Those willing to sponsor a walker pledged to pay a set amount per mile that the participant walked. Once the walk was walked, the money went to the American Heart Association, which works to increase awareness about heart disease and stroke. Every sorority and fraternity is involved in community service. Alpha Chi Omega sponsors an annual "Domestic Violence Week" during which they distribute information about domestic violence. By doing this, they hope to increase awareness of such a critical issue, as well as to provide the student body with resources for dealing with an abusive relationship. In addition. Sigma Phi Epsilon sponsored a "Rock Against Cancer" in honor of two alumni who are cancer survivors, while the Zeta's are involved with breast cancer awareness.

A Habitat for Humanity project was sponsored campus-wide. Re- ligious organizations were prime participants with this program. Habitat for Humanity is an organization that provides low-cost homes for underprivileged families. In order to keep the costs down, the building and hard labor is done by dedicated volunteers. Stetson's religious organizations have a lot on their plates. One of their primary functions is to bring together students of a common faith, both to worship as well as to build a friendly support system. In addition, religious organizations participate in service projects, giving back to the community and sharing in their faith.
Greenfeather is the ultimate activity for organizations. It brings together Greek organizations, service organizations, clubs and resi- dence halls with a shared common goal of raising money for the corrununity and having fun. A week long competition, Greenfeather has numerous events, mcluding the Rock-A-Thon. Each event has a "winner"- the group that raises the most money, and there is also an overall winner. The competition gets quite fierce, but it's all in good fun, and it's all for a good cause.

The Delta Delta Delta Fraternity was founded Thanksgiving Eve in 1 888 at Boston University. Our Alpha Delta chapter of Delta Delta Delta was founded on Stetson University's campus in 1913 with the purpose of developing character and friendship. Comnnunity service is and has always been an integral part of our sisterhood. For the 4th consecutive year we have earned the Etter Turner Service Award for outstanding involvement in community service. Our national philanthropy is Children's Cancer Charities, Tri Delta sisters nationally spend time donat- ing hours of service to raise money for St. Jude's Children's Cancer Research hospital in Memphis, Tennesse. Locally our chapter also volunteers with the Boggy Creel< Gang in Eustis, Florida. Through our annual golf tournament, we riased over $2300 this year alone to benefit these organizations. Along with our commitment to service, our chapter also enjoys our time together at our biannual formal events, annual Crush Party, fingerpainting with Sigma Phi Epsilon, and several Delta's Only funcions. As a whole, the sisterhood of Delta Delta Delta is based on pride and friendship as we live up to our motto: "Let us steadfastly love one another."

This makes it official. The four
unnerving days of Rush finally pay off
as each girl is selected by her new
sisters. Most girls are selected by
either their first or second choice
sorority.
Recruitment requires many important
decisions..
Rush was an emo- tional experience for new recruits as well as their big sisters. Many of the girls stumbled across the stage with tears in their eyes. For some, selection into the right sorority is a continu- ance of a legacy. For others, it is the first step to a well rounded undergraduate experience.

Every fall, social sororities and fraternities participate in recruitment, formerly known as "Rush." Recruitment tal<es place over a period of four days with the process being slightly different for the girls and guys. Girls participating in recruitment separate into small groups with a Rho Chi. A Rho Chi is a member of the Greek system who has disassociated themselves from their sorority in order to help the new people who are rushing. Until the day that the girls are chosen for membership, the Rho Chi is not allowed to tell which sorority she belongs to. She must try hard to be unbiased. The first two days of women's recruitment are called "Cokes". During these parties, potential members visit all of the sorority houses to mingle. Usually light snacks are served and the party is more or less an informational session. After the second day of "Cokes", the Rho Chi calls the girls and informs them which houses have invited them back. From those callbacks, potential new members may pick up to three to return for a second round of parties. During the second round of parties each sorority focuses on their philanthropy and other service work. The same selection process then occurs, and girls may choose again which houses to .return to out of those that have invited them back. Finally comes the preference party. This is the last party that the new members have to get to know the sororities better. A lot of pressure is placed on this party, as it is often the determining factor in a girl's choice. As Recruitment comes to a close, each girl must complete a Bid Card. On the Bid Card, one must write their 1st and 2nd preference. A couple of hours after Bid Cards are signed the Rho Chi's let each girl know which sorority has dually selected her.

Alpha Phi Alpha was founded on December 4'^ 1 906 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York by seven great men of high moral character. Al- though historically African American, the fraternity became fully integrated in 1 945. At the present time, the fraternity has chapters throughout the United States, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean with members of every race and ethnic back- ground. Our brothers are involved in numerous campus organizations like the Caribbean Club, Black Student Association, Multicultural Student Council, Baptist Collegiate Ministries, and Circle K. Through our participation in the Volusia County School's Youth Motivator program, our commitment to the community of DeLand, our National and District level philanthropy programs, our brothers are truly, "First of all, Servants of all."

ng money
by kristen Williams photos by katherine knoche
In order for Stetson University to keep its students on scinolarslnips and to continue building new facilities, there
is one thing it needs: money. Not only does this come from tuition, but also from fundraising. Stetson just
celebrated its $200 million-dollar campaign in January. It was the greatest
fundraising effort in its history. Over a decade ago, the university and its Board of
Trustees set an ambitious goal of raising $200 million in cash and pledges by the
end of the century. The construction of the Mollis Center, Wilson Athletic Center,
Mandy Stoll Tennis Center, along with renovations to the DuPont-Ball Library
came from this campaign. Without the support of its students, alumni, and other
gift-givers, many private schools would be lacking the proper resources.
Fundraising also applies to that of charity. Many organizations around campus
participate in different activities in order to raise money for services around the
DeLand area. In November, the 46'" Annual Greenfeather week took place, where
the many clubs, sororities, and fraternities competed against each other not just
for pride, but also for good causes.
Besides Greenfeather, one can walk around campus and see flyers for different
events such as Circle K's "IDD Bowl For Life." The sororities and fraternities are also associated with different
philanthropies in order to raise money for literacy, breast cancer. Habitat for Humanity, etc.
Stetson knows the importance of fundraising and the benefits it brings its students.

Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded in 1901 in Richmond, Virginia upon the ideals of virtue, diligence, and brotherly love. The Florida Beta chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded at Stetson in 1949. All active members and alumni exemplify our ideals every day. Sigma Phi Epsilon leads the campus for community service with over 1 800 hours a year. We work closely with one of the local elementary schools, helping at-risk children. We have also helped to place several families into homes thought Habitat for Humanity. Along with various other community service projects, we are proud of our active involvement in the community. Brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon are leaders on the sports field, in the classroom, and in the community. It is through our efforts to pursue excellence that we were recognized as the Fraternity of the Year for three years. Most impor- tantly, we are a brotherhood of men who stand aggressively for things such as loyalty, integrity, respect for others, and responsibility.

Alpha Tau Omega continued this year to enjoy success in all aspects of Greek Life. The frater- nity acquired yet another strong pledge class in the fall as well as a strong showing in Greek Week. Outside of the fraternity, brothers remained heavily involved in campus organizations and activi- ties. For example, the fraternity was represented in organizations such as SGA, Inter-fraternity Council, and Surf Club. The brotherhood also placed an empha- sis on community involvement. Community service projects include Habitat for Humanity, Police Athletic League, volunteering at Deltona Middle School, The House Next Door, and a Whiffle Ball Tournament for charity. ON the social scene, ATO's enjoyed events such as the annual winter and spring formals. Cowboys and Indians, Wine and Cheese social, and the often imitated, but never duplicated Viking party.

Greek Week is a time when all of the Greek organizations compete against each other in various activities. This year's Greek Week included the following events: Greek Olympics, barbecue and volley- ball tournament, Greek Bowling, Greek Week T-shirt Day, and Greek Sing. Greek Olympics is a series of wacky games, and included a marshamallow-eating contest this year, as well as a Twister competi- tion. Greek Sing gives sorority and fraternity members a chance to get creative. Each group puts together a song and dance routine to a popular song. The catch is that they must change the words to encorporate the names of the other Greek organizations. Greek Sing is a great event to attend for Greeks and non-Greeks alike. You get to see your fellow classmates singing and dancing- some who are not so good at singing and dancing. In addition, the costumes that the Greeks come up with are often worth seeing! The Sigma Phi Epsilon/ Zeta Tau Alpha team won the Greek Week bowling tournament, while the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority won best sorority, and Phi Sigma Kappa won for best fraternity. Phi Sigma Kappa was on a roll this year- they also won best overall for the fraternities in the Greenfeather competition. When asked about his Greek Week experience, junior Matt Smith, V.P, Brotherhood Development of Sigma Phi Epsilon stated, "Greek Week is OK by me!"
Other winners included Pi Beta Phi sorority, who took home top honors in the Banner Contest and Greek sync. Sophomore Rachel Duerr said, "it [Greek Week] was a great way to spend time with your sisters and have fun." Greek Week is an opportunity for Greeks to get together, strut their stuff, and participate in some healthy competition to see who comes out on top. It also provides a nice break from the normal monotony.

Phi Sigma Kappa
Phi Sigma Kappa was founded in 1 873 at tine IVIassactiusetts Agricultural College in Amiierst. Among its otiier students in early 1 870's it had attracted six men of varied backgrounds, ages, abilities and goals in life, who saw the need for a new and different kind of society on campus that was receptive to experimentation. There, our founders, banded together in their sophomore year to form a "society to promote morality, learning and social culture." As an integral part of Stetson's Greek community since 1 974, Phi Sigma Kappa has created a tradition of excellence and achievement. Emphasizing our cardinal principles, the promotion of Brotherhood, the stimulation of scholarship, and the development of character, we enjoy unparal- leled diversity and friendship. Our lasting bonds of brotherhood enable us to participate actively in the Stetson community.

Every year, Student Life hosts an Organizational Fair to give the clubs on campus an opportunity to showcase their organi- zations' ideas and areas of interest. This fair is hosted at the beginning of the school year, partly to encourage new students to maximize their university experi- ence. With over 90 clubs and organizations, every student has the opportunity to find his or her niche in the large spectrum of Stetson's campus life. The myriad of opportunities includes organizations such as Into The Streets, a volunteer organiza- tion which allows students the opportunity to meet together to plan service projects throughout the community. The Multicultural Student Council is involved with raising students' awareness of the diverse cultures on Stetson's campus. The Council for Student Activities is responsible for the entertainment on campus. Recent acts have included Seven Mary Three, Sister Hazel, and comedian Jimmy Fallon. Another opportunity for students to get involved in campus life is through Student Government Association. SGA senators and leaders conduct meetings and discuss concerns around campus. They are largely responsible for many
changes at Stetson. Most students are actively involved in at least one organization. The various organizations offer students opportunities to exercise their creative skills, as well as testing their leadership abilities.
Stetson has 6 social sororities, 7 social fraternities, 1 9 honorary organizations, 20 academically- related organizations, 10 reli- gious organizations, 24 special interest organizations, 7 service organizations, and 12 campus life organizations.

As Fabian Linden so plainly avows, "it is useful occasionally to look at the past to gain a new perspective on the present." With this, its first academic year of the new millennium. Stetson University has adopted a panorama that extends far beyond its DeLand borders. Stetson boasts world-renowned departments in such traditional majors as English, Psychology, Biology, History, and Mathematics. In addition to those majors. Stetson is also proud of the most recent areas of concentration that are indicative to our changing society, such as Digital Arts, the Family Business Center, Sport and Exercise Science, and Women and Gender Studies. Students now have the

Stetson is now offering classes in Italian and Latin. Many classes are now meeting and turning in assignments via BLACKBOARD.com. In addition to submitting homework, this program also allows
for virtual class meetings via the inter-class chat room. With this new technology it is possible for professors to sit in their home offices and discuss the day's lessons with their students. Stetson is also proud of its new diversity initiative knows as the Howard Thurman Lecture Series. Every semester the lecture series features four outstand- ing minority leaders in the areas of academia, civil rights, business, technology, and various other professional fields. These speakers have added to the academic ambiance of the university by enlightening the campus and community on such issues as diversity, cultural and social awareness,

The panoramic view of Stetson's future academic life is looking clearer and clearer.

A lot of professors are jumping on the virtual bandwagon and incorporating tlie Internet into their class activities. Almost all professors publish an e-mail address on their syllabi and encourage students to contact them via the computer network, as opposed to snail mail. Several professors have gone a step further and designed web pages for class use. One of the more elaborate web pages has been done by Dr. Megan O'Neill. Director of First Year English. On her web page, Dr. O'Neill has made her syllabus readily available, as well as a class calendar, class description, and informative tips. Many professors are also enrolling their classes on BLACKBOARD.com, which serves as an interactive classroom. On BLACKBOARD.com, one student can be in his dorm room in Cordis Hall, another in her Chadouin Hall suite, and a professor in London, England, and they have the capability to meet and have class on the net, as opposed to meeting here on campus.
Going to school in the Sunshine State has its perks. The bright Florida sun and the beautiful beaches have added a plus to attending Stetson, and students are taking advantage of their surroundings. Not only do students study outside between classes, but many pro- fessors are now taking advantage of the weather by holding their classes outdoors as well. Students admit to enjoying the outdoor classes as a break in the monotony of a classroom setting. This change in setting also serves as a muse of some sort, offering creative inspirations. Despite the intellectual creativity, having class in this atypical setting often leaves a student daydreaming about a day at the beach, which often poses a problem for the professor of their next class.
Roommates . . .telephones . . . television . . . neighbors . . .UGH!!! Many students find that because of multiple distractions, they just can not study in their rooms. When they sit down to write the term paper, the telephone rings. Or, when they sit down to read that novel that must be completed by 9:00 tomorrow morning (and they are only on the title page), Mr./Ms. Roommate has some kind of crisis that must be solved that instant. Whatever the reason, students often search for that one quiet spot where they can just . . . THINK! Some go to the library in search for an empty study room, while others hide out in the Commons during closing time. Many times students (especially on a sunny day) resort to lounging on the steps of Sampson Hall. Finally . . . Chapter 1 !

Stetson University has been given the gift of a rich, eloquent history, told through the life of Howard Thurman. Dr. Thurman was a native of Daytona Beach, Florida and a source of spiritual strength for this nation through the tumultuous years of segregation, and later, the Civil Rights Movement. Dr. Thurman possessed an intuition so acute that many of his writings echoed the deepest emotions that the movement's [unsung] heroes attempted to conceal. It is written that much of Dr. Thurman's writings are "modem psalms that echo the spiritual creativity of African- American experiences of slavery and suffer- ing and the redemptive responses to them." The Howard Thurman Program was established by Dr.

Jefferson Rogers, in cooperation with the New Birth Corpora- tion (a group of African- American civil rights and community leaders), of which he co-founded along with famed tennis champion Arthur Ashe. Dr. Rogers worked directly with both Dr. Howard Thurman and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Through the Thurman/New Birth Program. Dr. Rogers has brought a plethora of lectures to this institution. Stetson University's campus has been graced by the following people (as well as a host of others): Marion Barry, Stokley Carmichael, Annette Gordon- Reed, Randall Robinson, Derrick Bell, Barbara Omolade, Fred Shttlesworth, Nathen Page, Tyler Stovall.

Stetson's thirty-first annual Model Senate was one of the most unique in history. For the first time ever, the Senate was evenly spht with 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats. The tie- breaking vote, which was used quite often, went to Dick Cheney, judiciously played by Lou Barbieri. Students from different schools came to Stetson to participate in the three-day mock Senate and engaged in activities ranging from committee hearings to open sessions for the entire Senate. Partici- pants were able to test their debate skills through rhetorical as well as empirical exchanges. Issues covered by the Model Senate included diverse topics, such as Missile Defense, Taxes, and Educational Funding. Students were encouraged to portray their Senator as accurately as possible by speaking and voting as their Senator might. The Senate majority leader and majority whip, Dave Gobeo

In addition, all legislation brought to the floor backed by the Democrats passed. This Model Senate was a true test of bipartisanship as well as statesmanship. Students learned how a divided Senate must work together in order to accomplish goals. A further experience enjoyed by Senators was interacting with the U.S. Senate's actual parliamentarian. Dr. Robert Dove. Dr. Dove helped students to learn "tricks of the trade" in addition to standard parliamentary proce- dure.

Boring classes, the need for adventure, no plans for summer. Whatever the reason, many students chose to spend their summer studying abroad. Stetson offered a variety of programs to counteract the summer "slump." One of these, the School of Business Innsbruck Program, was the only one offering classes taught by Stetson profes- sors, who (for those with no foreign lan- guage experience) spoke in our native English. Those that were not Business School students were also invited to attend with a variety of classes being offered ranging from Introduction to German to Intercultural Communications. Beyond the familiar class work, study abroad provided endless opportunities for the college student. With extended weekends, students paired off to travel to Europe. Many students chose to purchase an unlimited Eurorail pass, which allowed them to travel c£rnnnunjty

Presser Hall is home to a select few students at Stetson University, and the word "home" is to be taken literally. It sits in its own little comer of campus, almost wedged between Elizabeth and Sampson Halls. Presser houses over 50 pianos, and has an entire floor of practice rooms available for student use. Students are also required to do homework for certain classes in the state-of- the-art music computer lab. For many, there is not much reason to leave Presser Hall during the day. Between classes, homework and practicing, everything a music student needs is at his or her fingertips in Presser Hall. But for music students, living in this "second home" is not all fun and games, and they do more than just play on the pianos and computers. Some people may mistake musical talent and interest as a lack of academic talent, but to music students, their musical talent IS their academic talent.
"For those who question the academic nature of music, I encourage them to enroll in music classes and learn how to analyze a fugue, spell out enharmonic modulations and conduct changing meters." -Crista Cueto
In a letter to the editor of The Reporter, music admissions counselor Crista Cueto said, "For those who question the academic nature of music, I encourage them to enroll in music classes and learn how to analyze a fugue, spell out enharmonic modulations and conduct changing meters." Does this sound like Greek to you? The language of music, to many entering fresh- men, is a foreign language that they must learn in order to survive the many classes that use it. Yet another display of Stetson's musicians' incredible talent is that they can learn this "language" and quickly adapt to the painstaking requirements of their degree program. As Cueto said in her letter to The Reporter, "It's difficult and rigorous work that simply isn't cut out for small
potatoes."

After an education at Stetson, December grads are assuredly ready for careers in the real world. I could see pride in the faces of parents, and can only look forward to my own graduation." As their Stetson career came to an end, students realized their lives would change forever. The easygoing pace of DeLand would often be replaced with the rigors of the workforce. December grads had the advan- tage of entering the workforce at time when many other students were still in school. Furthermore, they enjoyed good economic times that would allow ease in searching for jobs. These graduates were now ready to contribute to society by using the education they had gained at Stetson.

Parents, grandparents, siblings and friends crowded the stands to watch this important ceremony. The Edmunds Center was standing room only, and there was even additional seating in the Wilson Athletic Center, where the ceremony was televised. The soon-to-be graduates were lined up outside near fraternity row, awaiting the cue to begin. Once the graduates processed into the auditorium, the festivities were underway.

Soon it was time for the senior speakers to take the stage. Kathleen Dunn and Luis Maldonado had been chosen to present the graduating class with words of wisdom in the form of an eloquent speech, and that is exactly what they both did. The commence- ment speaker was June M. Hinckley, an arts education consultant for the state. Following her speech, Ms. Hinckley was awarded with an honary Doctor of Music. After what seemed to be hours, the conferring of degrees began. Proud parents stood and cheered as equally proud graduates crossed the stage. After the cer- emony was complete, many graduates were treated to dinners or parties, celebrating their steps toward the future.

A joyous soccer team runs off the field winning 2- 1 . while their opponents sulk in dismay over their unfortunate loss. A raging crowd overlooks a hectic basketball game, where players continue to run back and forth in a frenzy to keep the ball away from their goal. A baseball player hits the winning homerun off of a pitch clocked at 1 03 miles per hour. Cheerlead- ers finally nail that pyramid they have been practicing for weeks. Runners set and break records at a TAAC conference meet. A golfer carefully calculates his shot before he makes that first swing to begin his 1 8 holes. Fans prepare for games, getting high on school spirit, ready to cheer on their school. Spectators watch a tennis match with quiet excitement, turning their heads left and right, following the ball with just as much precision as the players. "Sports at Stetson are a wonderful way to learn responsibility and teamwork," says Andrea Villafana. Little kids watch the Syncronicity dancers strut their stuff as they perform during half time, hoping that maybe one day they too
can become a dancer. Coaches watch as the crew team advances in one formation like a fish in wate hoping to stay in and win the race. A referee carefully makes the calls for a softball game, wanting to make the most accurate decision. Whether you are a coach, player, spectator, or referee; on the bench, in the stands, watching, playing, winning or losing, sports have many different windows from which you can view the game. Senior Cross-Country runner Sal Mancini expressed his gratitude to the Stetson Athletic Department: "my experience with the Cross- Country team has been very memorable, especial, our first-e\er plane trip to Sl Louis, Missouri.fm: g the Cross-Country Only National Champion- ' ships." Clearly student-athletes gain much from their experience with sports, and involvement in the program is an integral part of college life.

In the three years that Coach Valerie Anderson has worked with Stetson's Cheerleading squad, she was able to take the squad to camp for the first time over summer break. Over a long weekend, Stetson Cheerleaders attended a camp held in sunny Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The purpose of camp was to perfect their cheering skills through participating in a variety of strength training and spirit building activities. Cheerleaders from various colleges practiced cheer, sideline, and fight songs and were ultimately critiqued and awarded based on their ability. After three long days of strenuous work and perfor- mance were over, the Stetson Cheerleaders gathered for a quick picture with Wake Forest and Winthrop Colleges, two of the other squads that participated in the camp. To top off a great weekend. Stetson Cheerleaders brought home first place in cheer and second place in the fight song category.

Practice makes perfect, at least this is the theory instilled by coaches in all team members from every type of sport. Utilizing the facilities in the Hollis Center, Santos Hampton works on his basketball skills to prepare for the upcoming season. Hampton has "surprising quickness around the basket... and with Sebastian Singletary, forms the TAAC's top rebounding tandem." Ability such as this is not gained without hard work and hours of practice. Any Stetson athlete can attest to that.
Receiving advice from the "all-knowing" coaches was something athletes did with an open-mind. Stetson men's soccer was no exception. Carl Keever, number 13, utilizes a time out to take a quick breather and to speak with Sean Murphy, the team coach. Coaches took on the responsibility of not only perfecting the team's skills, but also keeping spirit alive and the team working together.

The women's cross-country team added some strength with five fast freshmen-- Tara Calderbanl<, Jennifer Knight, Dyan IVliddleton, Joanna Show, and Julie Young. Adding power to the roster were returning players Jessica Bentz, Rachel Duerr, Rachel Hallum, Kristen Lagor, Kristen McCue, Heidi Maier, Natalie Kozak and Meghan Ryan.
In September, the team participated in the UCF Invitational in Orlando. The women finished eighth out of ten participating teams which included Hawaii, University of Washington at Green Bay and Xavier. Kristen McCue lead the team in the 5K run with a finish time of 28:27, which gave her 32nd place overall. Other top finishers were Meghan Ryan with a time of 22:41 , Rachel Duerr with a time of 23:34, Natalie Kozak with a time of 24:08, Heidi Maier with a time of 24:53, and Kristen Lagor with a time of 26:33. McCue was again on top in the 6K run, with a time of 27:05, placing 44th our of 68. Right behind McCue was Ryan, who placed 48th with a time of 27:48.
In October, the team hosted the 2000 Hatter Invitational. The women from Milligan College took first place, and Stetson came in at a solid fourth out of eight teams. This season has shown some strong results from top players Kristen McCue and Meghan Ryan. While the team was not in the lead during many of their runs, they were not behind either, which seems to suggest that the team is progressing and that there is good things to come in the future.

story By Joe Schoenbauer Photos by Tiffany Bauer
The Stetson Women's Soccer Team enjoyed a memorable season that improved dramatically from the last with a final record of seven wins, eleven losses and one draw. The improvement was due to several reasons. The team this year was a more cohesive unit thanks to the growing skill of the players that allowed for them to cre- atively combine with each other. Contributing to the im- provement was the consistent play of all-TAAC team member goalkeeper Genevieve Roy. A senior, Roy holds the school record for number of saves and shutouts in her awarding career. Of no less importance were the three other seniors, defender Hannah Wallace, and midfielders Maria Williams and Erin Gidney. Holding together the team was the combative center midfield combination of TAAC player of the year freshman transfer from Stockholm Sweden Emma Astrom and Junior Jackie Catania. Both players were the number one and two scorers for the Stetson Hatters, respectively. Convincing wins over South Carolina St. (6-0) in Washington D.C. and conference foes Mercer (4-0) and Campbell (3-1 ), both at home, were highlights of the season that showed Stetson's worth. Their must-win game versus Troy St. sent them to the conference tournament, an experience the players will not forget. "I knew when the penalty kick was given that Emma would comfortably tuck it away," said her confident teammate Gina Guillem. The strong nucleus of players returning next season will be chasing success that seems to be creeping up on them year-after-year, (^o^sports

Stetson University's iVlen's Soccer team is heading up after a successful yet unfulfilling season that finished with an overall record of eight wins and eleven losses. The season was a roller-coaster ride of performances that included losses to inferior teams and extraordinary victories. One such victory came at the hands of 6* ranked in the nation Furman University, a pivotal 3-2 victory. Stetson also succeeded in avenging last year's outlandish 6-5 loss to Jacksonville with a 4-0 drubbing at home. The season ended in anguish against the Florida Atlantic University Owls in the Conference Tournament. With a mere four seconds left in double overtime the Hatters succumbed to their nightmare defeat. "Never in my worst thoughts could I come up with an ending like this," said senior defender Matt Zirkelbach.
The loss of three seniors, scoring sensation Kjell Aasheim (5'^ all time leading scorer), pin-point crosser Kevan Watkins, and defensive stalwart Matt Zirkelbach leaves the team with important roles to fill. However, returning will be all-TAAC team Scott Winch, TAAC assist leader Chris Fronk and the two captains Goalkeeper Tim Riek and defender Joey Fitzpatrickto carry the leadership rolls. The season was a successful experience for the remaining core of young players that will surely be hungry for future success and accolades.
"You have to remember we are only losing three players to graduation. That gives us a big head start to next season," noted freshman midfielder Shannon Mays. The experience of important victories and a trip to the Conference Tourna- ment will no doubt come in handy as the Stetson Men's Soccer teams looks to the future with their head's up.

With an overall record of 1 9-5 and a TAAC record of 4-1 , the men's tennis team had a successful season. Their first game, on February 5th, was a dissappointing loss to Rollins (3-6), but the team quickly picked up. Their second game gave them a win over nearby Bethune Cookman, and their third game, a loss against Florida Atlantic, signled an end to the early losses. Their forth game, against Jacksonville, was the first in a seventeen- game winning streak, which tied a school record. Of these games, there was an impressive 6-1 victory over Jacksonville State, which was a TAAC match, and a 7-0 victory over Portland State. Their only other losses of the season were to DePaul University, an April 11th re- match against Bethune-Cookman, and a final loss to Florida Atlantic in the TAAC Tournament. Fifth-seeded Stetson advanced to the TAAC semifinals after a 4-3 win to Troy State, but were beaten out by Florida Atlantic, the top-seeded team.

The cheerleading squad and the dance team "Synchronicity" both perform for and lead the sports teams to victory. The cheerleading squad is quickly becoming one of the most popular Division I cheer programs in the nation. In the three years that Coach Valerie Anderson has worked with Steton's Cheerleading squad, she was able to take the squad to camp for the first time over summer break. Over a long weekend, Stetson Cheerleaders attended a camp held in sunny Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The purpose of camp was to perfect their cheerleading skills through participating in a variety of strength training and spirit building activities. Cheerleaders from various colleges practiced cheer, sideline, and fight songs, and were ultimatley critiqued and awarded based on their ability. The participated with such top squads as Wake Forest and Winthrop COIIege. To top off a great weekend, the cheerleaders brought home first place in cheer and second place in the fight song categories.
Cheerleading takes considerable talent, training and flexability. The men and women on the squad give many hours every day to practice in order to get ready for an event. The end result in a pumped-up, polished performance.

stetson men's basketball was full of breathtaking perfor- mances tfiroughout their best year in over a decade. With a final record of 1 7-1 2, and their first win in the conference tournament since 1 994, the Hatter's set a new standard for upcoming years. Crucial three's, high flying alley-oops, and smothering defense are all phrases used to describe the play of the team.
The retirement of highly respected head coach Murray Arnold, due to health reasons, made news as current head coach Derek Waugh became the youngest head coach in Division 1 basketball. Although they lost a great coach, the team did not lose a step in the right direction. Under the guidance of Coach Waugh, they tallied thirteen wins, including two decisive wins over conference rivals UCF. "We knew Coach Waugh had the ability to coach us through any situation we would come by. He's a great coach and he has a great future here with us," said junior fonward Ricky McConnell.
Sebastian Singletary was named to the All-Conference first team for the second year in a row. He became the fifth all- time on Stetson's career rebounding list (754) and second in steals (1 33). Eugene Ambrose was also honored for his stellar first year, as he was named to the TAAC All-Fresh- man team. "Eugene's play throughout the season was exceptional. His dedication to shooting after practice lead him to be one of the deadliest three point shooters in the league," praised fellow teammate Ravii Givens. The team says good-bye to irreplaceable seniors Sebastian Singletary, Will Robertson, and Steve Hoffert.

The Stetson women's basketball team had a record-breaking year for most overall wins in a season (22) and most conference wins (1 3). Full of outstanding performances, both as a team and as individuals, the Lady Hatter's struck fear into the eyes of their opponents. Junior center Kaisa Tuure and senior guard Cher Dyson were named to the All-Conference 1 =' team, becoming the first players from Stetson to receive such individual awards since the 1 996-97 season. Furthermore, Cher Dyson was awarded for becom- ing only the second player in TAAC history and thirteenth player in NCAA Division 1 history to record 400 career steals. Fellow teammate Eboni Long commented "Cher Dyson deserves this achievement. She works extremely hard on defense and it looks like it has paid off!" The season ended prematurely in the semifinals of the conference tournament when they narrowly lost to Georgia State, a team they beat two times during the regular season. "We feel we will sorely miss the vast contributions of the four dedicated seniors Cher Dyson, Audrey Kull, Sally Spooner, and Lisa Terry," said 8'^ year head coach Dee Romine. "However, with the cast of returning players, we are looking to improve on a record-breaking season."

Among the many athletic teams, the Crew team has continued to exemplify the Stetson spirit. Founded eleven years ago, the team has fought hard to build itself to a competitive plane with schools not only in the area, but big name pro- grams like Notre Damne and Temple University. The year was an impressive one for the men's team. The year was an impressive one for both the men's and women's teams. The novice men's boats, including Brian Barbour, Tyrone Deer, John Martin, Richard Plavnieks, and Matt Sanford, have never seen such a prosperous year, placing in the top five at every regatta.
Under the guidance of Coach Charles Huthmarker, both the women's and men's headed to the blank. The crew team was not only a close knit team, but also a close group of friends. It takes incredible dedication to get up at five in the morning to practice rowing in cold waters, and the students that make up the crew team have the talent and the drive to make something out of this somewhat young Stetson sport. Even with the early scheduled practices and long days at a race, the team has come to appreciate what it has grown into.

The Softball team started off their season with a new addition to the coaching staff. Pitching instructor Beth Dieter joined in September and brings much expierence to the team. She played for four seasons with University of Florida, posting a 60-43 career record. In January, the team was picked in a pre- season poll to finish third in the Trans-America Athletic Conference. The previous season they had finished second in the conference. Early in the 2001 season, the team got to take a trip to Hawaii to play in a tournament. Felicity Witt tossed a two-hit shutout in the first game of the tournament, but the Hatters ultimately lost to Hawaii, 0-4. Soon after, the team redeemed themselves with a win over Campbell University in the TAAC opener. Sabrina Isley won the game with an RBI in the bottom of the seventh, bring the final score to 1 0-0. Kelli Lightner pitched three perfect innings during the game, helping to lead the team to a shortened give-inning
victory.
The team played hard until the TAAC tournament, in
which the ultimately lost 1-0 to Florida Atlantic. While
there were some dissappointing losses, there were
many players that showed their talent during the
season. Junior Katie Harrigan and sophomore Tiffany
Tolleson were both named to the All-Disthct team.
Harrigan batted .226 with one home run and 20 RBI,
leading the team with 1 0 doubles. Tolleson was a first

Story By Joe Schoenbauer Photos by
The baseball team continues to be something that
Stetson is immensely proud of. They have grown into
a very talented group of players who are bringing
recognition to the university's athletics department.
This season has been no exception, with a total of
forty-three wins in a season of sixty games. Out of
these, twenty-seven were conference games. Some
of the teams best players were Brian Zenchyk, with a
.383 batting average, Jeff Christy with a .378 batting
average, and Frank Corr with a .374 batting average.
Frank Corr has been named an All-American by the
National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association
along with junior pitcher Lenny DiNardo. DiNardo was
a projected first round draft pick and and Corr was
also TAAC player of the year for 2000.
In February, Stetson defeated South Florida with the
help of two strong players- Jason Oglesby hurled six
strong innings and Andy Wilson knocked in three runs
to bring a final score of 6-2. A senior, Oglesby
allowed one run on seven hits, striking out three with
one walk. Freshman Jack Collins pitched the final
three innings, allowing only one run on five hits to pick
up the save. Another powerful victory was over
Tennesse Tech, which was won 9-4. It started off
close with a tie in the top of the fourth, but the Hatters
soon regained the lead with three runs brought in at
the bottom of the fourth.
The games played throughout the season brought in a
steady stream of wins and high scores, and it looks
like up is where this team is heading.

If one were to walk around campus, they would see the variety of unique students that make up the university. Whether fans of Dave Matthews Band or Metallica, Backstreet Boys or Beatles, we all have one common purpose: higher education. The education, however, is more than what is taught in the classrooms or discovered in the labs. Our education is framed by a knowledge gained by learning from one another
Would you like to see proof? Just do the wave at a basketball game, or catch the spirit during Greenfeather Everything is a learning experience, from going to classes and studying to seeing a movie with your hallmates. All of the activities that college students partake in are invaluable, and
leaving the possibilities endless. There are always opportunities to get involved, have fun, study, and just be yourself. So the next time you venture out, you may find a group who shares your love for Kubrick films or you may meet a group who, like you, wants to make Wednesday group library night. You may have found yourself working as an RA or you may have spent most of your time in the computer labs. Did you identify yourself by what you wore, who you hung out with, or how you expressed yourself? You may have defined yourself as an artist, a musician, an individual... or, you may not have known quite who you were. Whatever you do, the goal of college life is to find the nerfect combination of work and nlav. and
ai oiersoirrnerc aic many ciioices auu lucas uiai incorporate and form together to make each and every student gain that perspective. Stetson strives to maintain different worlds on one campus. Instead of being just a number, each student is an individual. Emphasis on individual- ity makes each and every student feel that they are someone who matters. Variety is the spice of life.
Ultimately, to enjoy yourseii. unce acnieving tnis goal, many will leave this place with much more than they came. You won't know unless you try, so take your perspective and run with it.

Girls just wanna have fun! Residen- tial Life... the perks of attending any college or university. First-year students anticipate the arrival of his/her new roommate and other hall mates. Those that live nearest can become your closet friends. These girls from the Honors program take some time to relax away from HoUis Hall by enjoying the beautiful campus grounds. Not only will students be found in the library, but they can also be spotted under the trees, on a bench, or at a table outside the Hatrack. Campus provides numerous places for students to make themselves at home. |

Any student knows Fall has arrived here at Stetson once the intramurals teams take charge on Hollis field. Not only is it a sports event, but a social event as well. Bringing the fraterni- ties, sororities, and independent teams together to play flag football always manages to dazzle any audience of onlookers. It is a great way to get away from the books, while there are other sports available in future seasons such as volleyball and basketball. Intramurals provide an outlet for recreation, in which previous knowledge of the sport is not required. Any student interested should stop by the field or court for guaranteed fun!
Certain classes have been taking different approaches to learning. Lectures and essays remain a constant at any institution of higher learning, but creativity is also essential to a well-rounded, liberal arts education. With many different academic programs offered here at Stetson, students can explore his/her particular interests whether it be through studying here in DeLand or halfway around the world in Europe.

Senior
research
by Wendy Aracich photo by Jenny Wills
Senior Harmony Martin, a Communi- cations Studies major, presented trie results of tier senior research project. Ttie presentation was the culmination of two semester's worth of work.
Senior research gives students a cinance to sinow winat they have learned in their four years of study. For some, this allows them to prove that, despite their B- average, they are well versed in their area of study. For others, it is a'major headache that makes their last year even more difficult. The types of senior research vary with majors. Art students are required to create a body of professional work which they then present in a senior exhibition. Music majors have a similar form of research-- they are required to have a senior recital. Other majors require students to research a topic of their choosing, write a quite lengthy paper, and give a speech about their findings. Erin Medlin, a senior Biology major chose to do her research on "The Affects of Ritalin on Creativity in Children with ADHD." She chose this subject be- cause it was of great interest to her, but encountered many problems along the way. "Since I was using human sub- jects, it took a long time for the Human Subjects Committee to approve my project. Once they did, I had a difficult time finding subjects willing to participate in the study." Despite her initial problems, Erin's study yielded interesting results, and was a success. While senior research can be quite a headache, and students often find themselves wishing they' were business majors, it also provides hands-on learning which will benefit future careers.

Local
events
by Jenny Wills photo by Jenny Wills
The one thing DeLand isn't short of is places to eat. "They Call it Macaroni" is only a short walk from campus, and is located in the picturesque and historic downtown.
When making that final decision on which college to attend, students were faced with the question "What could there possibly be to do in DeLand?" Well . . .as most students have probably figured out, there is a lot more than one might think. First of all, Deland has its fair share of great outdoors festivals such as the DeLand Art Festival. The weekend extravaganza takes place in the streets of downtown and is made up of hundreds of vendors selling beautifully made arts and crafts. Beyond the sidewalks of DeLand, students always have the great events put on in Daytona, but most exciting for students is Spring Break. This years' event lasted from March 1 2-31 . During these three weeks, college kids from across the nation emerged on The Worlds Most Famous Beach" for sun, fun, and 23 miles of sand. Stu- dents cruised the beach and participated in free concerts and contests. Furthermore, Daytona hosted events such as Bike Week and Race Week. These long-standing traditions gave students a chance to see and meet a wide variety of people. Bike Week, for example, has been occurring since 1 937 and is a 1 0-day festival attracting hundreds of thousands of motorcycle riders from across the world. Likewise, Race Week attracts its share of people for the Daytona 500 on February 1 8*. The events provided students a chance to interact with people they otherwise might not have and participate in activities that were a good time for all.

Mothers crying, boxes unloading, and lofts clanking... the sounds of move-in day for those ever so lucky freshmen. What makes this time so special? Well, besides all the boxes and the anticipation of a network connection, it allows the new "froshes" to fully experience life at Stetson.
"The CUB, what is that?" If heard around school grounds, it is most likely from a new student getting used to the campus jargon. If is not unusual to also see one wander- ing aimlessly, breathtaken by the fountain and wondering its amazing uses. Oh, and who can forget the library? The word "study" will actually become a part of the vocabu- lary and the wonders of finding a book on Socrates might amaze even the most skilled.
It's actually a joy to find the mailbox, open it on the first try (or maybe not) and find a letter, even if it is from your annoying sister. The independence, the decisions, and the student I.D. allow just a few samples of college life. Now, one can have the privilege to charge the expensive textbooks (which could be used only once the whole semester) to a lovely account where parents receive the bill and enjoy "all that can fit on a tray" in the commons.
As many of the upperclassmen reminisce, they will look back on those fun times and remember all these little things that were so big in the beginning. College is an experience in itself, so have the time of your life.

In life, sickness is inevitable. Whether it be the common cold or the stomach flu, it will happen to everyone at some point. But in college, when illness seems to spread like wildfire through- out the residence halls, many do not have the advantage of being close enough to home to go to their family physician. Who, then, do the students turn to for care in the event of a sudden attack of the sniffles? Why, Health Services, of course!
Behind the Mollis Center, on Bert Fish drive, sits the little house that contains all of the stu- dents' health needs. The doctors and nurses provide students with a wide range of services, from checkups and giving medicine for colds, to gynecological exams and sex education. Health Services also serves as a pharmacy, giving students even more options for their health care.
While most students will have to visit the center at least once in their time at Stetson, some manage to put it off longer than others. Ashley Wolf, a junior, had managed to stay away until her third year. "When I finally had to go in, they were very impressed that I had managed to stay away this long. They said I must be exceptionally healthy. Everyone there was very nice and Nurse Alvarez's stories were very entertaining while I waited for the doctor to see me." The friendly staff at Health Services is always willing to lend a hand to your health. No matter how healthy you are, everyone is welcome, so don't hesitate to visit when you're feeling a little under the weather.

I have a dilemma. It's 1 2:30 in the morning; I am tired, and I want to go to bed. First, I must brush my teeth. Unfortunately, I have just dropped my toothbrush on the bathroom floor. In a community bath, that is grounds for garbage. Therefore, I am out of a toothbrush. What am I to do? What place is open in DeadLand after 9 p.m. so I can save my teeth from further decay? Wal-Mart. Yes, the American institution of low prices and bulk items, and Sam Walton.
Where else can one go to buy cheap potato chips, pick up a prescription, and wander the aisles at all hours of the night? Stetson students would be at a loss if the structure were not on Woodland Boulevard. Not only is it a store, but it is also an escape of boredom. The dorm rooms get stuffy after awhile, studying becomes too monotonous, and Wal-Mart is that paradise in which all dreams can come true. It is not surprising to see many Stetson students there buying poster boards for projects, waiting until midnight for the new Dave Matthews CD on the shelf , or just walking around finding amusement in one of the many items in the store. For those students who don't like the idea of spending money, there is always the handy-dandy Wal-Mart Gift Card. Amounts from five to 1 ,000 dollars can be put on these cards. They make perfect outlets as attempts to get money. Parents would love the fact that you are reaping the benefits. So, splurge on the laundry detergent, nail polish, Funyuns, or whatever other item tickles your fancy. Wal-Mart is here to stay, and is yet another reason why DeLand isn't so dead. Now, about my toothbrush. . .

Nutrition
salads
exercise
choices
by rachel hussey

We all know the "legend" of the infamous "Freshman 1 5." The idea is that freshmen, while adjusting to their new environment, will gain at least 1 5 pounds. Those who avoid it are lucky, but those who don't? Well, they will probably be exercising a bit over the summer and making a conscious effort to make better nutritional choices the next year. But what can students do when they first arrive to avoid paying for the "Freshman 1 5" later? The answer is in the cafeteria, my friends. "For most college students, their lives are so busy that they don't have time to think about what is going into their bodies," says Kari Ryan, a junior. A well-balanced diet truly is the key to good health. The Commons is the most widely-used food facility on campus. Ryan observes, "the Commons usually makes a good effort to offer healthy choices with pasta, veggies, and fish. The four food groups are always present." Another option for on-campus dining is the Hat Rack, which gives students more of a "fast-food" menu. "The food [at the Hat Rack] is good, but one needs not wonder why it is nicknamed The Fat Rack,'" says Ryan. We, as students, should start getting into the habit of making wise nutritional choices, such as eating according to the food pyramid and exercising regularly, before it is too late. Whether it is your weight or health issues such as heart disease that you are worried about, it is never to early to start turning your nutrition around. If you can't find anything healthy as an entree in the commons, there's always the salad bar. Another good piece of advice is for students to take advantage of the Hollis Center, which provides the opportunity for fitness-club exercising without the price. Even if you miss out on exercising and eating healthy during your first years, there is still a chance to learn good habits while you're young.
While it is often difficult to stay healthy when hamburgers and fried cheese are at an arm's reach, the school does provide alternatives for health- conscious students. The Hollis Center sponsored a Wellness Fair that provided free health food such as fruit and low-fat cookies. In addition, there was a booth with information about eating healthy.

As students continue to work hard in school, the DeLand community has showed a great deal of support for the university. Due to the central location of the school, there are numerous opportunities in the area, both professionally and socially. Since the community is continuously growing, the interaction between the school and the local environment is strengthening. "Students are always willing to participate in events in the DeLand area, from coaching a little league team to helping run a blood drive. This interaction allows students to become well-rounded adults," said senior Dave Gobeo. Stetson is home to numerous community service organizations including Habitat for Humanity, which helps build homes in the DeLand area, Every once in a while a major-credit - - card company will appear on campus to try to get students to sign up for a card. These companies will offer the students a free shirt or CD case if they are willing to fill out an application. Professionally, there are many internships and part-time jobs available to Stetson students throughout the school year. Sophomore Kristen WilUams said, "working at the law firm of Rissman,
Weisberg, Barrett, Hurt, Donahue & McLain, P.A. he given me a great deal of experience in my field, whicl will help me when I start my job search." Obviously there are many professional opportunities within the DeLand community, from law, to accounting, to helping teach at a local elementary school. Stetson is also located 20 minutes from Daytona Beach and 35 minutes from Orlando, two cities that each have a thriving nightlife. Due to this fact, students are able to have the best of both worlds, a small town atmosphere but also exciting activity. "I often go to downtown Orlando because there is so much to do and it's such a short drive," said senior Wendy Aracich.
-^AU inall, students thri ve^off the loGal-community4a- many aspects of their lives. This allows them to expand then perspectives of the world around them.
The mural right outside of Halftimes has always been a highlight of driving through DeLand. One of the most beautiful and articulate aspects of the community, it depicts many of the influential members of DeLand in past years. Located in downtown DeLand, students frequently pass the mural. The downtown section of Woodland Boulevard has just recently been refurbished to add a nice and pleasant atmosphere to the city. In the middle of November, the city actually closes down Woodland Boulevard for the Fall Festival of the Arts. This is a two day festival where artists from the surrounding areas are able to show, and even sell, their work. People will come from all over the state just to see the various works of art. Many Stetson students volunteer their time to help out with the festival. The DeLand community has always, and will forever continue to work hand in had with the school and its students.
The Best Inn University, located right across from Emily Hall, has always had a packed house during family and alumni events. Formerly called the University Inn. the name was changed last year after renovations. Many parents stay at this hotel during SOAR and FOCUS, as well as Family Weekend. The relationship between Stetson and the Best Inn has always been great. Before the Mollis Center was built, the hotel permitted students to use their pool. This allowed students to get a few minutes in to relax between classes and meetings. Now, newly renovated, the hotel is considered one of the best and most comfortable places to stay when visiting the university.
The Publix supermarket off of International Speedway has become one of the best places for students to do their food shopping. Ever since seniors were allowed to move off campus without financial penalty, many students have gotten apartments in the DeLand area and now need to cook for themselves. The Publix shopping center allows students to get food and also a movie at nearby Blockbuster. Students can be seen at both of these stores throughout the day. Although DeLand has a historic part of town, it is also a very commercial city as well. This allows students to have a great deal of opportunity when it comes to jobs, but to also have the relaxed atmosphere that comes with the historical sites. community/

supported the

The Hatter Yearbook 2000-2001
I would like to thank my dedicated and hard-working staff for putting so much time and effort into making this book. The Hatter is going to see many changes in the next few years, and hopefully the work of future staffs will enable this book to continue to be a Stetson tradition. I wish good luck to those future staffs.
I would also like to thank my editorial board. Sal, thank you for all the work you did this year. Even though you moved into an unfamiliar position, you did a fantastic job and I was glad to have worked with you these past four years. Jenny, you not only put a ton of effort into this year's book, but you were instru- mental in
fighting to keep the book around and working to evolve it into something more geared to a
college audience. Erin, you were my best friend, my favorite
model and my business manger Thanks for
selling ads and for dealing with the phone calls from irate
parents! Holli, thank you for keeping us all sane, for planning
for next year, and for helping us out with anything and
everything.
To the rest of my staff, thank
Sincerely,
Wendy Aracich Editor-in-Chief, 2000-2001
you and good luck.

Dedication
This book is in dedication to a student who was taken
from us too soon.
Ruben Eduardo Torres, 21, of Deltona, passed away July 18, 2001 due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident. A full-time student, Torres was studying in the pre-dental program and taking extra-credit summer courses at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Born in Orlando, he was a lifetime resident of Central Florida, and a 1998 graduate of Pine Ridge High School in Deltona.

WHatS-
Skateboarding was just one of the events of
the Drop Zone, which was sponsored by a
marl<eting class in conjunction with other
organizations and corporations. In additon,
there was a rock-climbing wall, jousting, free
and food. However, the main event-- a
skydiving drop- never happened. Perhaps
this was the point?

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, perspective is a noun that represents thi relationship of aspects of a subject to each other and to a whole. Each of us is an individual at Stetson, but as a whole, we make up the University. Our experiences in college allow us to see things from other perspectives and to become more knowledge- able about the world around us. Being friends with an international student allows us the chance to meet someone from another country and to see things from their point of view. Involvement in a community service organization gives us the chance to help out in the community, to see those who are less fortunate, those who are sick, or those who
just need a friend. Taking classes outside your major gives you the chance to expand your horizions and learn about history, art, science, digital arts or creative writing. College is a time to learn about yourself, to meet people who have had different life experiences than you, and to have fun. For those that were graduates of the class of 2001 , your four (or maybe more) years at Stetson probably brought you new friends, new relationships, new ideasj and new experiences, and now the years ahead will bring even more. For those that have fin- ished their first years at Stetson, there is still much more for college to bring. Life is full of experiences, and each one is bound to alter your perspective. i
