Preface

The time spanning 1985 and 1966 was highlighted with many memorable events. This was trae, not only for the world as a whole, but also for our own Ht- tle world within the gates of BSC. We saw the opening of a multi* million dollar computer/math caiter, as well as plans to rebuild the oldest building on campus. Ramsey Hall. We shared the ^dtement of Dr. and Mrs. Berte as they celebrated their tenth an- niversary with the college, and felt ^uiness as we said our good- byes to Dr. Bailey, an institution in hhnself .

Every year, as the year grinds on, diese experiences change oar lives. Whether these events effect us positively or adversely they are experiences which make each of us a better person in some aspect of our being. It is the job of the yearbook to record these events, that they might be preserved.

The 1986 Southern Accent is very new in comparison to other yearbooks from Birmingham Southern College. We have set out to capture, not only the images, but also the spirit of the year. The format is new, different, and dynamic. It utilizes a dominate idiotograph, with satellite photo- graphs of varioiis sizes, and in- creased copy.

College is a time of exploration. It is a time in our lives of eye opening experiences, as weU as a time when spontaneous actions determine the course of our fu- ture. We have tried to capture these events. We hope each of you will enjoy this volume of the yearbook, and may all of your fonidest memories be rekindled by the pages of the 1986 Southern

h«! year wiis 1870. T«n men put their money to-

gelher to hiiy more than 4.000 acres of land near the small Alabama town of Hlylon.

It was a momentous occasion. Within a few months, engineers had set the crossing of the South and North Alabama Railroad east of Elyton and sur- veyors were marking out the city with a downtown area.

The city of Birmingham was officially incorporat- ed on December 18. 1971. with a population of 1.200.

Then the iron boom began in Birmingham in 1880 when two coke furnaces went into operation. In the city's first twenty years, the population Increased to 26.000 and was given the nickname "The Magic City '■ in recognition of its rapid growth.

Steel and steel-related industries remained the backbone of Birmingham's economy throughout the city's early years. By 1910. its population had risen to 120.000.

Birmingham's renaissance into a thriving metropolis of 930.000 people is due to a combination of factors: its location in the geographic center of the Southeast, progressive business climate, emphasis on the art.s. and unparalleled re.sidential areas.

When newcomers ask what's so special about Birmingham, there" are plenty of "firsts." "bests,", and "onlys " to mention.

Gala 71/2 Honors Ten Years of Service

The Berte Bash

By Sharon Lynch

In 1976, a young Neal Berte came to Birmingham-Southern College while the institution was going through trou- bled times. This year he celebrates his tenth anniversary at the college. "We have seen the college experience a renewal," says Berte of the last decade.

His anniversary was marked by a "Decade of Excellence" celebration in conjunction with the annual alumni weekend April 19. During the dinner in Bill Battle Coliseum, various alumni and community leaders gave Berte ac- colades not only for his work at the col- lege, but also for his service to the com- munity. The program also included a video tribute to the Berte's produced by the Office of Public Information that documented their accomplishments.

To honor the Berte's ten years of ser- vice to the college, a one million dollar President's Anniversary Fund has been established from donations and pledges. The fund will endow the Ann and Neal Berte Honors Scholarship and support other programs of institutional renewal.

Soon after the celebration Berte said that 'Southern (not him, he emphasizes) has accomplished three major goals during the decade: achieving recogni-

tion for the academic program, strengthening the liberal arts mission, and placing the institution on a firm fi- nancial footing.

Looking toward the next decade, he predicts that it will be a tough one for all of education. For this reason, one of his goals is for BSC to do all it can to strengthen the liberal arts mission in higher education.

Berte has 2 goals for BSC itself. First, he would like to fulfill all the school's capital needs. The first step in this process is the construction of the new Harbert classroom building to replace Ramsay Hall. Other projects include renovations on Andrews and North Dorms, and Phillips Science.

Second, Berte would like to see the school's endowment increase to 35 million dollars in order to offer more scholarships in time of cutbacks.

Besides honoring the Bertes, the alumni weekend was also used to an- nounce major monetary grants. The most important and largest of these was a three-million dollar pledge from John M. Harbert III toward the 4.2 million needed to construct the new classroom.

The weekend was, for the Bertes, one of looking forward as well as looking back. Dr. Berte says that he and Mrs. Berte "enjoy what they're doing here" and have no intentions of leav- ing. H

Honoraries chat over dinner at the head table during the Berte Gala.

Penfield Recaps

First Year

Dean Takes Charge.

By Rodney Ferguson

As the school year draws to an end, so the does the successful charter year of Dean Penfield's term at South- ern as Dean of the College. Warned by former Dean Moomaw that the job had a two year Initiation period, Dean Penfield seems to have taken the chal- lenge of the job and run with it. He has gone through the year learning the ins and outs of his new positions and transforming from a faculty member to an administrator. A lot of his work has taken place on a general level in that he has spent a lot of time getting to know students and faculty and how to orient his job towards their needs and the needs of the College.

Besides learning the basics of the job, he has been involved with working toward a Ford Foundation Grant, pro- motion of the Adult Studies program by gaining funds for new faculty positions in that program, working with the nationally recognized nursing program, and working on programs to be imple- mented with the use of Kellog Foundation funds. He has also been very successful with his faculty ap- pointments this year, especially in the Math, English, and Humanities divi- sions.

Looking forward to next year. Dean Penfield hopes to further his work with new academic programs by finding the

funding for these programs and grants that are available to the faculty for projects.

The Dean also hopes to continue to find good professors for 'Southern.

Another big goal of the Dean's is pushing BSC into the regional, national and internations markets by promoting traditionally strong, liberal arts values and programs coupled with an excel- lent faculty and students.

With a year under his belt, Dean Penfield seems to have successfully made the transformation to the kind of dean Birmingham-Southern can be proud of. [\]

Dr. Bailey Retires

In a "Genius" Class by Himself.

By John E. Norris

If there is one person on the Hilltop who may truly be called an institution it is Professor Paul C. Bailey. Professor Bailey has taught biology at 'Southern for the past eighteen years, seven of which he spent as Dean of the College. As the professor of general biology for the past several years, Dr. Bailey has become almost a legend among bi- ology majors and non-majors alike. Students are amused by his country ac- cent and his relaxed classroom slouch during complex lectures he delivers from memory in a tone of voice which suggests that all children must learn this easy stuff right after the ABC's; stu- dents are not so amused with his fam- ous multiple-multiple choice finals, tests which cause many freshmen to pitch their first "all-nighter" in college. As the year ends, however. Dr. Bai- ley will retire and then return in the fall as Professor Emeritus, teaching a non-major biology course every semes- ter for at least the next few semesters. Although we are glad that he will at least be around for a while, it is with great sadness that we witness the end of his full-time teaching career.

Dr. Bailey's first interest in biology emerged during his early years as he grew up on a farm in Northern Alabama. "Being a farm-boy, I think it was sort of natural that I should be in- terested in biology," he says. After re- ceiving his bachelor of science in biolo- gy from Jacksonville State University, Dr. Bailey applied and was accepted to what is now the Emory University Dental School.

Due to unusual circumstances brought on by World War II, however, his enrollment was delayed for one year. During that year. Dr. Bailey discovered his love for teaching as a graduate student at Vanderbilt. Instead of going on to dental school as he had planned, Dr. Bailey ended up earning both his master's and doctorate in bio- logy at Vanderbilt. Afterwards, he taught for a short time in a public school, then he moved on to Montevallo, where he taught for fifteen years before his arrival at BSC.

Although Dr. Bailey has displayed great interest and talent in teaching, he has also made great accomplishments in another area — genetic research. Over several summers at genetics labo- ratories. Dr. Bailey bred a strain of while mice which are extremely useful in tumor research. Dr. Bailey reminisces, "I started off with a single pair of white mice I bought in a pet store in Birmingham." After 50 genera- tions of inbreeding "every animal in that colony — and it never failed — every one developed cancer of the lymph nodes." Now called PBA's (Paul Bailey Albinos), these "little boogers" are used in cancer research throughout the world.

Despite these lofty accomplishments. Dr. Bailey remains one of the most personable and down-to-earth professors at the college, his gentle country mannerisms parodied affec- tionately at student-sponsored campus events. His students and colleagues alike will sorely miss his daily presence at the College, but they will be glad to see him return for a few days each week. In the meantime. Dr. Bailey will be content to tend to his farm in his hometown of Baileyton.

Hello Olin. Academic c

"Olinland"

By Phillip Bohannon

In case you've missed it, the Olin Com- puter Science and Mathematics Fa- cihty is the large thing on your left on the way to the dorms. When it opened in fall of this year, it brought the use of computers to the attention of the col- lege community as it had never been before. At the same time, the computer power easily accessable by students in- creased drastically.

The Olin Building was paid for by a grant from the Olin Foundation of New York, an organization which habitually funds new buildings on college campuses. The Olin Foundation is very selective; that Birmingham-Southern was chosen as both an honor for the college and a testament to the tenacity and skill with which President Neal Berte courted the selection committee. On the exterior, the building's archi- tecture blends well with the Yeilding Chapel, the Planetarium, and the Rush Learning Center. Inside, it departs from the campus norm with a full length skylight, decorative columns, lots of pastels — folks, this is a very pretty building.

This text is just a caption for the picture; you can see what it looks like, but there's more to it than that. Will the education provided by the college be as affected as the society around us by the move to computers? Besides a few hours saved typing a paper, and a place to model Miami Vice style clothes, will this building and its resources mean anything to the average student? May- be. O.K., probably.

The computer will continue to ap- pear in more aspects of the college curriculum, until all but the most deter- mined student will be a moderately skilled user of the computer's services. But, just as any school can teach one to read, the local technical college will happily turn you into a consumer. With a nod to the liberal arts credo, perhaps the 'Southern graduate can be a critical computer user. As computers are re- sponsible for more and more of the country's information, the degree to which this information is trusted and the uses to which it is put must be watched carefully, and watched by people who understand what's going on. Who knows, some day a bad program may be as dangerous as a bad idea.

Anyway, it is a pretty building. [^

Phillips Science

Warts and All

By Southern Accent Staff

Ever wonder where those people who claimed they were pre-med go to after freshman orientation? They really do exist, I promise. It is just that they are hidden in the twisted corridors of Phillips Science.

When a student walks on the campus of Birmingham-Southern College, eventually he must make a choice of major. Those that choose Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Pre-med, or Nursing, rarely see the light of day un- til they are marching down the aisles of Munger to Pomp and Circumstance.

On the outset, Phillips Science looks harmless. It is designed to look like most of the other academic buildings, and for the most part, it does. My problem with the building is that I nev- er know where to go in. One would think that the two sets of stairs leading up from the quad point the way to the main entrance. However, every time I am required to go in the building I see people filing in through the doors on ground level. So where is the main en- trance? I don't know.

Perhaps I have one other minor problem that only needs a little atten- tion. The problem is: Where are the bathrooms! There I said it. I have al- ways been troubled as to why the

builders insisted on putting only one set of bathrooms in that building. Even then, they put them on different floors. But enough about the problems of Phil- lips Science.

The good of the building is found in what it contains — excellent depart- ments in the sciences of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Nursing, and Pre-med in general.

Any student can tell that the majors are hard at work by the prominent smell of formaldehyde that permeates every nook and cranny of the building. Actually the departments are well re- spected throughout the Southeast. In fact, the Nursing department recently obtained their accreditation which sends them on their way up the ladder of success as far as Nursing depart- ments go.

Pre-med majors are also in the top department in the Southeast. The percentage of pre-med students that go on to graduate schools is in the upper

go's.

Obviously, this speaks well of our curriculum and especially the faculty of Birmingham-Southern College. Faculty members like Dr. Paul Bailey, Dr. Boardman, and Dr. Millsap keep our students alert and conscientious of not only their immediate world, but of the world that they are headed for. Let's hope that this will continue. [v|

A Moment in Munger

A Guidebook

By Colette Barrett

Following the sidewalk to "Munger" I briefly glanced up from my feet and met Dr. Randall's eye. We quickly looked away, thus beginning the age- old rite of approach. Timing was crucial. As we crossed, we made eye contact, exchanged greeting, then looked away.

The day was still, and the heavy glass door to Munger, with hollow voice, announced only to me.

To the right of the closed auditorium the blue jester's stare misses a view offered by the door's window by only a

few degrees. If the jester is dark, I peer through the window. The desks outnumber the professors in Dr. Franke's office. I believe the spare desk is for storage. I felt reassured that Dr. Franke uses our standard filing sys- tem.

A flock of sorority sisters chattered past me as I ascended the stairs. On the landing to 2nd floor, Lucy Ricardo stopped me with her fixed face. I admired the exhibit a while longer and began again. A tall, thin boy bounded towards me. I dodged to the side. As he flew by I saw that he held a light-green slip. He was racing the clock to the Cashier's window. I decided 2nd floor was not the safest place to be on Fri- day. I puffed up to 3rd floor.

Several students lined one side of the wide hall, across from the double door writing lab. Faint electronic beeps grew louder as one student walked out looking like a bloodless hunch back hiker about to descend Mount Munger. He reminded me that my own paper was due, so I caught up to my wander- ing mind and carried my paper down to Dr. Hoff's office.

I waited outside for her visitor to leave, re-reading the information on foreign exchange and typists. I heard footsteps. A woman was buying a Coke from one of the machines. I wished the Newspaper had come out. If it had, I could have sat on the stairs and ap- peared to be engrossed in an article. The woman left with her Coke just as Dr. Hoff and her visitor left the office. I handed Dr. Hoff my paper as they exited. Then I pushed out the heavy landing door leaving my own echo behind. FTl

Culture At BSC

By Megan Wells

At the farthest corner of the campus, between the old gym and Ramsay, hes a mysterious isolated, L-shaped building, called by its inhabitants as "Hill Hall." Freshmen who write "mu- sic" in the blank after the word "ma- jor" on their forms disappear into this building for four years, and then mirac- ulously emerge, blinking in the sun- light, with their bachelors degree. In those four years, no one ever sees them. No one knows who they are or what goes on in this building that compels them to spend all their time there. Is it the Moonies?

I hate to be the one to strip Hill Hall of its mystery, but this building is actu- ally a very pleasant place, full of quite personable, if not main-stream people, and non-majors are actually quite welcome to join us as we learn about music and enjoy making and listening to it.

Denizens of the music building do all sorts of things. There are bands to join, 2 choirs to sing in, small ensembles to play in, and private lessons. Upstairs there are classrooms and studios where a bright group of professors teach mu- sic history, music theory, composition, and private lessons. Classes are small .and a lot of fun — our professors often double as stand-up comics. One little-

known resource is a small electronic music studio for people whose creativity runs in a musical vein.

Downstairs there are labyrinthine corridors lined with lockers and prac- tice rooms. This windowless maze is where most music majors spend a lot of time, which is why no one ever sees us. At 8:00 a.m. the pianos and organs crank up, and people begin singing and playing instruments. The noise often ri- vals the Chevy factory, and continues well into the night. As recitals and ju- ries draw near, people begin to mum- ble about setting up cots and sleeping bags in the lobby to save walking up the hill for a few hours of sleep. At these times of mass hysteria, the build- ing is referred to as "Hell Hall," and people get pretty wierd.

But the recitals are good. In the spring there are huge numbers of ill- publicized student recitals, which are open to the student body. At these re- citals, people who for past weeks have wandered in a practice frenzy, talking to themselves and looking as if they were hit with a hammer, walk on stage transformed, looking and sounding wonderful. There are lots of faculty re- citals and concerts given by outside performers too. These are free and list- ed on a board in the lobby of the build- ing.

So now you know what goes on in Hill. Come by — we are performers — we love to draw crowds. FZI ~

Senior Art Exhibition

Darwin Gentry's works have evolved from a concern with the relationship between modern society and nature. He displayed a small body of mini- malistic images along with a larger body of works fashioned after primative American Indian art. The primative works employ the use of found bones and other materials linked with man's effect on his environment.

Patpat Woodward exhibited large scale paintings and sculpture. These works were intuitively inspired during the painting process, allowing images to form during interaction with the can- vas.

Michael Swann displayed a series of oil paintings and several drawings. These works portray flat, highly emo- tional images along with calm, peaceful suburban scenes. A minimal amount of human presence emphasize the rela- tionship between man's isolation and his seemingly secure environment.

Everett Allgood's works are extremely influenced by the fact that he is an Art History major. His exposure in the past six months to art of the past inspired him to produce his series for exhibition.

Those Wacky Majors By The 'Southern Accent

I'll bet you didn't know that the phallic symbol in the Fountain Plaza was de- signed and created by one of our very own Art professors. I'll also bet you didn't know that some of our art majors are now boasting very lucritive careers as commercial artists or in private sales. Well now you do know. In fact many of our art majors go unrecognized for most of their stay here at 'Southern. They must spend countless hours working on projects which leaves little time for social activ- ities. Every so often, one of them will walk up to you and ask you the time of day, and most likely, you will answer them. However, when you leave them, you will no doubt be asking yourseJf, •'Who the hell was that?"

So goes the life of an art major at Birmingham-Southern College. Those of you who are stuck with 8:00 classes will never come in contact with an art major because they are not aware that 8:00 comes more than once a day. They close themselves up in the art building at around 10:00 p.m. and emerge at 4:00 a.m. in order to grab a bite to eat (din- ner, they believe) and go off to bed. It's a strange life but someone has to do it. In case you have never had the chance of actually meeting one of these people, I will make an attempt to de- scribe them. They look a lot like regular people (amazing!). The only difference between them and others is the unusual amount of paint, putty, glue, or ink on their clothes.

They think and act much as we do, but they tend to put their thoughts into terms of color or words appealing to the senses. Oh yeah, and they are pret- ty fun to be around too.

So aside from the paint, they are nor- mal everyday people, although some- times a little less everyday than most.

The End of an Era

Ramsay Goes

By Stan Glasscox

Ramsay Hall. Many of us have spent most of our college years in that old, yet warm building. Home of four growing divisions of the college: Behavioral and Social Science, Econo- mics and Business Administration, Education, and the Masters in Public and Private Administration program, Ramsay is overused and underkept. The floor boards creak, the ceiling and walls are chipped, and I bet that some of the paint is as old as a graduating senior. So the winds of change, they are a blowin' and Ramsay stands in the path.

"Tentative" and "Conceptual" these were the words used by Vice-President for Academic Affairs Rob Moxley in describing the fate at the current Ram- say and the birth of a new Ramsay. The first and foremost step in replacing the current Ramsay is money. Moxley estimates that a new Ramsay would cost around $3.5 million to construct, so the Administration must first find a do- nor and then finalize a floor plan and design that the donor can support.

Moxley states that a new Ramsay will be of the Collegiate Gothic style

that is typical of most of the buildings on the Academic Quad. The new Ram- say would also be constructed of red brick and limestone, materials common to most of the facilities at BBC. The Ad- ministration hopes and plans that the facade and columns of the present Ramsay would be saved and incorpo- rated into a new building. A new Ram- say would also retain the three story layout of the present building, but would contain enlarged lecture and class rooms, seminar and conference space, faculty offices, and computer lab. This larger Ramsay would, by Moxley's calculation, be about 45,000 square feet in size.

So with proposed removal of Ramsay Hall, as we know it, comes the end of an era. Though the plans for a new Ramsay are "tentative" our memories and rememberences are not. Ramsay is the oldest academic building on campus and its heritage is rich. We must always, especially at a liberal arts institution, be mindful of preserving history and heritage if at all possible. As stated before, the winds of change they are a blowin', let us hope that the Administration has its sails properly rigged so not to be overcome by the winds. Kl

TINA: OK, Rose, Star Search is over. We can either watch Excelcior's Food Report, the Country Boy Eddie Show, or study for the Theatre History exam. ROSE: If we go ahead and start, we can study until about 5 or 6, then sleep until noon.

TINA: But the exam is at 9:00. ROSE: Well ain't life grand! I thought I could sleep tonight, but after three days, I've probably forgotten how. TINA: Before you leave us. Sleeping Beauty, give me the question for the exam, and I'll work on the answer while you sleep.

ROSE: I didn't write it down. I was filling out questionnaires from T. Reese.

TINA: I was trying to write left handed that day, and I can't read what I wrote.

ROSE: McCarroll wrote it down — she always writes that stuff down. TINA: Well, we'd better get there be- fore she goes to sleep then. McCarroll's Room— 2:00 a.m. TINA: Jana, we don't have the ques- tion. Did you write it down? JANA: I thought he said we had to list 5 facts about the 6 theatre movements. McCARROLL: No, I'm sure he said 6 facts about the 5 theatre movements. TINA: Would Theatre of the Absurd and Theatre of Cruelty be listed as one?

ROSE; That's enough studying, let's go to the Kettle. Act II, The Kettle (3:00a.m.)

TINA: OK, I'm tired of Theatre History. Let's do math ... if we stay here undl 9:00 a.m., then go to the Southside Festival, get to the exam two hours late with a sunburn, what is the probability that Dr. Berg will give us a make-up exam if we cry and say the alarm clock fell into the weed eater? ROSE: Here's another problem: if I have a 92 average, can I still pass the class if I make a 2 on the exam? TINA: Waitress! More coffee please! BARRY: Did you hear about the new cola called JOLT that has twice the caffiene of regular cola? ROSE: Don't say that. I feel queasy.

BSC's Outstanding

Bravo!

By Melissa Self

* *Two roads diverged in a wood I and I — I took the one less trav- eled by and that has made all the difference." — Robert Frost

There are many different roads by which BSC students, faculty, and staff have traveled. Ironically, Honors and Awards Days signified the road most traveled by, as many in our community were honored for their excellence. Honors Day, a convocation to recognize the achievements of seniors and to a- ward scholarships and honors to un- derclassmen, and Awards Day, a time to recognize students, faculty, and staff who have served the college well, were both important days on the calendar.

On Honors Day, excellence endured as Dr. Sheldon Hackney, President of the University of Pennsylvania, ad- dressed the graduating seniors, faculty,

and guests. Following his address, the new members of such honoraries and honor societies as Mortar Board, Phi Eta Sigma, Kappa Mu Epsilon, and oth- ers were recognized. Also important to this year's Honors Day was the new ad- dition of the United Methodist "Bicen- tennial Scholars Award. After many other honors were bestowed, the Sen- ior Awards occupied the remainder of the program. Along with Phi Beta Kappa scholars, and acknowledge- ments of graduate school admissions was the recognition of three seniors, Terrell Barr Linton, John Kevin Tucker, and Julie Anne Pieroni, who maintained a 4.0 grade point average. Next, Omicron Delta Kappa awarded its Excellence in Teaching Award to Dr. Catherine Hoff.

place. Three principle groups honored were Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities, SGA, and Student Judiciary. To honor outstand- ing faculty advisors, Dr. Tom Moore and Dr. Diane Brown were given the Henry C. Randall Award. Other groups such as the Triangle Club, PSSO, Music/Youth Ambassadors, and Intramurals were recognized. Service organizations were spotlighted as well. The road less traveled by represents not the academic achievements of a few people, but instead represents an attitude that will not settle for mediocrity. Kl

Some Thoughts On . . .

. . .Graduation

The "Outside'

By Gregory Evans

Interesting speculation: what shall we discover that we have left behind? After the records are inked and blotted, the caps and gowns pressed for ceremonial garb, the last photographs snapped on the grounds before march- ing proudly toward that recognition of a long time spent striving diligently, sometimes laboriously, for elusive im- ages of the future and for abstract ideals that only in utter timidity do translate into everyday life: what thoughts of this place, of these years, will press themselves upon our heads so adorned with mortar board and tas- sel?

Perhaps something especially serene ... a walk on a late autumn afternoon, when the setting sun casts its protract- ing umbra across the freshly cut grass that carpets the academic quadrangle. One columned facade being left to relinquish its face to the darkness of the evening — symmetrically opposed across the lawn another columned fa- cade still burning in orange glow of the sinking western light.

Likely, however, is an interruption of this foregoing idyl by the dull sensa- tion, still lingering after these years, of the cold, grey land in disrepair outside the college gate. Countless times has one driven past the old, broken cabins wherein dwell the lined faces of those whose few last years remain little af- fected (down deep) by the social grand-

children waged in this city a little over twenty years ago.

Countless times has one, speeding nervously to arrive for an appointment at school, driven past the barefoot chil- dren, the vandals, the old men who wander aimlessly down the sidewalks, their minds withering with isolation and drink, their eyes searching wearily for morsels of sustenance. What strik- ing contrast lies before us— contrast between the grey pavement of their world and the green grounds of ours.

A steady stream of students, their books under arm and over shoulder flows from the dormitories in the early morning. One remembers their swift gaits — and one's own swift gait — as all step anxiously toward the cafeteria for a short breakfast class. The dew is still out, and the air expands with invigorating freshness, reviving one's senses after a night's sleep.

This is the memory that will be most in our minds during the first days out of school. We will hurry to find jobs; we will hurry to be at work by eight; we will hurry to obtain the proper fa- vors of our superiors. It will be realized that the brisk walks to early morning class were good preparation for this highly energized world of careers that awaits.

But we must never forget those peo- ple outside the gate. We must somehow, after getting the foot in the door of business, of professions, and of higher levels of academe, come back to them — to give something of ourselves. We have been bountifully bestowed

with talents and knowledge; however, it is not in these things alone that wis- dom lies, but in the use of them in the ministration of Christian charity.

Never should we remit this personal challenge to the tirades of politicians making appeals for the growth of the civil authorities as the distributors of doles. It remains a responsibility to be assumed by us as individuals.

The Facts About the SGA

Just Parties Or Principles Too?

y

By Stan Glasscox

When asked to write an article about the SGA, I found myself in an unusual position. How do I repre- sent an organization of which I am cur- rently a member? The solution, I found, was simple; state those services and duties which the SGA does (or does not) perform for the student body. The first and foremost task of the SGA is the allocation of the Activity Fee. The operating SGA Budget for Fis- cal Year 85-86 was $81,736, and from this events like Homecoming, Southern Comfort, Quest II movies and enter- tainment festivals were funded. Also student publications like the Quad, The Hilltop News, and the Southern Ac- cent were financed by your fee. Thus, one can see that through the budget formating process, the SGA directly influences the social and cultural life of the student body. The SGA has done its best to present a broad selection of entertainment options geared to include everyone, thus working to in- crease the sense of community that is a

strong and vital part of BSC.

On the other hand, in its quest to throw "jammin' parties and hit mov- ies," the SGA has, in part, neglected what I feel is its other dut>'; to serve as the organized, refined and focused voice of the student body in the formu- lation of College goals and policies. This year, though, there were signs of life.

A group of legislators and one officer (Marty Mead, Lisa Narrell, Tom Doggett, Hal Jones, and myself] decided that the SGA needed to grow up and do more than throw parties. This initial movement climaxed with a meeting of the persons involved: Dr. Berte, Russ Levenson, Hal Jones, and myself. The initial goal was to establish a permanent student post upon the Col- lege Board of Directors or the Vice- President's Council. When this was re- jected, the establishment of the 'Southern Forum was suggested.

Did we fall short, meet, or exceed our goals for this year? Only the stu- dents can decide. [~|

The Publication Board:

A Year of Changes

By Gregory Evans

The Student Publications Board faced a year of transition. Members vo- ted to approve a new publication and a major reformation of staff positions and salaries.

Southern Academic Review, the first addition to the list of student publica- tions in 45 years, brings an outlet for student scholarly works. The editors will draw upon for material the re- search papers that are regularly turned in for classes.

In its initial stage of development, the founders had this to say: "It is a shame that those good bits of scholar- ship are given an excellent grade by the professor, stuck in an old file cabinet, then eventually incinerated with the rest of the bulk. Southern Aca- demic Review — SAR for short — is here to provide a vital outlet for this work.

"It is the belief of SAR that the journal will produce among students at the College a heightened awareness, better understanding, and greater ap- preciation of — as well as sparked enthusiasm for — various academic dis-

ciplines outside their own and for scho- larship as a whole.

"What is special about SAR is that it is a student-run enterprise: written by students, published by students. What could show better our own diligence in academics and pride in our work?"

Each Spring a new, full issue (close to 100 pages) will be published. Free subscriptions are extended to all on campus.

Staffs for the existing publications (The Hilltop News, Quad, and South- ern Accent) have been increased to delegate more work to assistant editors. Money for salaries has been divided to accomodate the new staff positions; as a whole, the money allotted to editors has decreased, but with increases in operating budgets.

The Board comprises an elected stu- dent chairman, the Dean of Students, the editors of all student publications. New members for next year will include facult>' advisors of all publica- tions. The Board has its own by-laws, through which it supervises the operations and budgets of the student- run pubhcations. ^\\

A Better-Than-Ever Quad for 1986

Students Applaud

By Tom Doggett

Quad, Birmingham-Southern's stu- dent journal of art and hterature, went through radical changes in 1985- 86.

First, the Quad staff moved into a new office. Quad left the back of the Snavely Student Center and took up residence in Hanson Solarium. The new qurters were not as cramped, but the window air conditioner had to re- main behind.

Second, Quad got a new faculty ad- visor—Dr. John Tatter. Dr. Tatter gave the staff advice on how to have a successful literary magazine. Since he was the editor of his college's literary magazine, he knew what to do from ex- perience.

Another change for Quad was the in- crease in the amount of copies printed. For the first time since the journal be- gan in 1940, there were enough copies for all the students, faculty, and staff. Quad was the only student publication on campus to reach the entire college community.

The staff did not think this was going to be possible at first. It was hoped that Quad could be a 64-page bound journal with 1800 copies printed. There was not enough money to do this, however. Either the amount of copies printed or the number of pages had to be cut. The decision was made to reduce the num- ber of pages to 32, but the SGA came to the rescue and appropriated additional funds increasing Quad to 48 pages.

To help save more money, the staff did the layout of the journal and typeset the poems and short stories on the computers in Olin. This lowered the total cost of printing by 30 percent and made Quad the first student publi- cation to have all its material typeset and layed out by its staff.

Students and faculty applauded the journal when it arrived in their post of- fice boxes in May. Many said it was the best Quad they had ever received. With works by Linda Mason, who won the outstanding artistic award for her drawing of a bird collage, and Tony Daniel's short story about a boy's rela- tionship with his father, which was chosen the outstanding literary piece, they were right! FH

"What do you think of this one?" asks Art Editor Suzy Hornung as the deadiine draws near.

AssisfunI Editor Tom Doggett and Lisa Kiein discuss the possi- bility of having a photograph instead of a drawing on the cov- er of Quad.

HILLTOP NEWS

Your View of the Hilltop.

By John DeWitt

You spilled supper on it Thursday night. You walked on it trekking up Munger Mountain. You doodled on it in class. You threw it in the trashcan. Maybe, just maybe, you read it.

If you did any (or all) of the above, then you had something to do with the Hilltop News this year. It was your newspaper, your student activity fee paid for it. Hopefully you got your money's worth — by reading it.

This year's Hilltop News purported to be a showcase for the college, but not the kind of showcase you get by reading admissions intelligent display of all that is flawed or fabulous (or fallen in between] at BSC. HiJJtop News was your weekly review of all that makes life on the hilltop a rich, multi-colored (and occasionally soiled) tapestry of collegiate experience.

We showed you people: the professors, who were profiled throughout the year; the athletes, driving for victory in intramural and intercollegiate competition; the leaders.

both students and administrators, the decision-makers for the college com- munity; and ourselves (you might guess what part of ourselves! — just kidding) through our challenging articles and editorials.

We showed you parties and perfor- mances: SGA beer and band bashes; dance and choir and theater and art shows, etc.

We also showed you problems: the sometimes tough and unfair situations of the BSC faculty'; understaffing of library and language departments; dirty carpet in Andrews; student litter and vandalism; the shortage of parking; campus racism.

And the list goes on.

Ultimately, what we all strove to present was truthfulness to entertain you, inform you, amuse you, and some- times shock you — but always, make you think.

If you did that, if you thought about the community around you a little more, then you did what a liberal arts student should do. |~~]

A Dream is Remembered

BSU Becomes More Active

By Jackie Ray and Sammy Speigner

The Black Student Union (BSU] seeks to increase Black responsibility and awareness of obligations to the college community. It seeks to promote cultural awareness, unity among Blacks, in- creased participation by Blacks in overall campus activities, and to edu- cate the college community on the importance and significance of Black history in the U.S.

The academic school year 85-86 proved to be a promising year for BSU. There were many social and education- al activities planned in which the whole campus was asked to participate in such as the Apartheid forum featur- ing Helvi Nghitewa, a reception for the award winning novelist Ishmael Reed who attended the Writers' Conference, a Hilltop celebration for the remem- brance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the assistance on the campaign of Mr. Lee Loder, and a reception was held for the talented Jazz musician/com- poser David N. Baker.

Social activities included a progres-

sive supper at the homes of Dr. Neal R. Berte, and Mr. and Mrs. Loder, Lisa and Gary Heath, and Mr. and Mrs. Jackson; a popcorn-movie party; a pool party; and several chapel services on Saturdays.

BSU has also been active in several community activities such as the Oak Knoll Nursing Home and the Mens' Shelter projects.

Goals for the coming year 86-87 include acquiring a black students' re- presentative to the SGA, establishing a BSU scholarship for an incoming fresh- man who demonstrates outstanding academic ability as well as financial need, and acquiring a greater selection of black literary works for the library. Dr. and Mrs. Berte have already begun this collection with the donation of two books in honor of Black History month. Although the name of our organiza- tion is Black Student Union, it is not exclusive to Black students. Rather, it is strongly encouraged that all students should be exposed to black history and the educational value of being exposed to a different culture. The rap sessions, sessions where members debate various social problems, are just one example of black-white cultural fusion and the liberal arts education being realized.

The Black Student Union listens intently as Jackie Ray brings up new business at the weekly meetings.

Hilltop Singers

The Sounds of 'Southern

By Adelia Patrick

From Broadway to blues, from gospel to Gershwin, the Hilltop Singers lave performed it all! This year's ihows have taken this multi-talented :rew all over Alabama and into neigh- joring states singing and dancing for dl kinds of crowds from high school cids to church garden clubs. This group s selected by audition each spring, and ts member's majors are as varied as heir personalities. It is a group of care- ully selected, talented, hardworking,

energetic people who enjoy performing enough to shoulder the extra burden of rehearsals on top of already busy study and activity schedules. The Hilltop Singers do up to five shows a month around Alabama, and in January, they accompany the Concert Choir on its Interim tour performing primarily in high schools serving as performers and recruiters. The show presented changes every year, though some favorite numbers remain constant.

This year's show included excerpts from "The Sound of Music," a 50's

Rock Medley, and a musical salute to George M. Cohan. However, the group's favorite number, and a favorite of audiences everywhere, was a med- ley of gospel tunes. This number was choreographed by senior group mem- ber Scott Ivey and included sign lan- guage, loud hand clapping and literal leaps across the stage (while singing!) "Amazing Grace", "How Great Thou Art", and "His Eye Is on The Sparrow" are a few of the song offerings which not only "showed off" the group as a whole, but also allowed some members of the group to reveal solo talents. It was a wonderful year and the memo- ries of the shows will always be special to those who saw them and those who "sang" them! [^

By Michael Bay

Mike Merino and Rodney Ferguson have met before, this is no news. However, the circumstances under which they met were not quite conduc- ive to the forming of a chummy friendship. These two men met a few years back in two sessions of a high school scholars' bowl. While Merino of Decatur High School was victorious in the first battle, his team lost to Fergu- son and the Grissom High School Team in the state championship. This year

they got a chance for a rematch. It re- sulted in the humiliating rout of Merino's Hilltop News team by Fergu- son and his SAE team. Ferguson who was assisted by Scott McCary and Bob Shufflebarger led SAE to a 270 to 180 victory. The other members of the HTN team included editor John DeWitt and McWane scholar Kevin Tucker.

After the match, a dazed DeWitt told reporters, "It was as if the divine had come to earth. It came in a large form. I had expected God to be like George

Ferguson's reply to the "divine" charges were straightforward. "Michael and I had a lot of fun with this thing. I did however want to embarrass and disgrace him in front of mother, country and God."

Circle K Helps Red Cross

Are Your Pmts Down?

By Jayne Cockburn

Circle K is a service club at BSC that is extremely visible. The members sponsor projects for the campus and community at large. Circle K is probably best known for the blood drive which it presents each year. The group has gained its notoriety because it holds the American Red Cross/Circle K Blood Drive during the heat of Greek Week. The success of the drive comes from the extreme competition of the sororities and fraternities. Greek Week points are awarded for the largest percentage of donors during the extent of the drive. This year, over 200 pints

were obtained helping Circle K produce one of the best drives yet.

Not to be overshadowed by the success of the blood drive, the other services of Circle K need mention. One major activity that the group undertakes each year is its assembly of Survival Kits. Each semester during fi- nal exams the members make, sell, and deliver these kits. They are composed of goodies like candy, fruit, and crack- ers. It is a pretty good way for friends to wish their peers good luck on finals.

Circle K is affiliated with the Down- town Kiwanis Club, a group of promi- nent businessmen in Birmingham. The club provides services to the whole community, not just the college. f\\

Lamea Shaaban and ]ayne Cockburn say, "we want your bJood . . . for charity of course."

Food Festivities

By Gina Fawal

The social event of the year was un- doubtedly the Annual International Food Fair held last March on the Hilltop.

In our very own Stockham Parlor was a wide assortment of international delicacies prepared by our very own foreign students at Birmingham-South- ern College. Each student involved made his or her favorite dish from "back home" which made for a very special buffet setting. What was espe- cially nice was that their favorites soon became our favorites.

Some students made salads and some made main dishes, but with the cooper- ation of all the members of the International Students Organization, all the courses were covered.

The turnout was good. Many stu- dents came to enjoy the meal, but what was most surprising was that even many more faculty members attended the festivities. Everyone had their fill of

Along with the good food that night, came a good speaker. After dinner, 'Southern's Dr. Drewry gave a lecture and showed a slide show on his most recent interim trip to Russia. His lecture was not only interesting, but ap- propriate to the already established atmosphere.

The Food Fair has always been a fa- vorite event for the International stu- dents. It is a time which somehow makes them feel close to home and a time to share with their friends a little bit about their country.

A Guide to Giving

Alpha Phi Omega

By Carol New

Alpha Phi Omega is a national ser- vice fraternity dedicated to leader- ship, friendship and service. A Phi O was founded by a group of Boy Scouts at LaFayette College who wanted to continue to serve humankind while in college. Although membership is no longer restricted to Boy Scouts, Alpha Phi Omega continues the Scout tradi- tion of service today. We continue to uphold the principles exemplified by our founders and are as dedicated to the Scout Oath and Law as they were. Here at Birmingham-Southern Col- lege, Nu Xi chapter has supported the concerns of service to our nation, our community and our campus since our founding date in 1977. The activities that we pursue to serve those around us include various service projects, food and clothes drives, involvement in Big , Brother/Big Sisters of Birmingham, vol- unteer hosting at the Men's Firehouse shelter and ushering events on campus and at the Jefferson Civic Center.

Through our service projects, members have had opportunities to visit the King's Ranch and get to know the kids who live there, help Bread and Roses Women's shelter, help paint at McCoy Church and usher all theatre produc- tions on campus. Alpha Phi Omega's involvement in ushering has given us the opportunity to attend such events as the Alabama Symphony Orchestra and Alabama Ballet performances, UAB basketball games, concerts such as John Cougar, Amy Grant, and Diana Ross and plays like 42nd Street and CameJot.

These activities along with the many not named here, are important components of our leadership develop- ment program. Through experience and involvement, leaders are formed who can be innovators as well as ser- vants to humanity. Working together also brings members closer together making friends for life. Our friendship circle has grown by an impressive amount this year and we hope it will continue to expand as we reach out to involve more people in the experience of serving others. f\]

Going Out to Serve

'Southern Volunteers

By Amy Fisher

Have you ever felt like giving, but it wasn't Christmas or someone's birthday? Have you ever wanted to share, but everyone around you seemed content? Have you ever felt that the best was to worship was to serve? 'SVS is the answer.

'Southern Volunteer Services, founded on campus this year, enables students to be Christ-Uke in the world and to give out of their abundance. Instead of talking about one's faith, one can do something with it. 'SVS pro- vides places to share your faith, or your muscles, or your intellect. Giving is the key and the door is our very own back yard, Birmingham's inner city.

There are many ways your talents can be used. There are big projects, such as painting portions of McCoy United Methodist Church in the fall of 1985, and there are individual contributions, such as staying at the men's shelter. Each project has a faculty and a student coordinator. Oth-

er projects include visiting at "Oak Knoll," "Riley Community Center" food projects, "Amnesty International" (letter writing, "Big Brother/Big Sister" Committments, "Women's Shelter" hosting or hostessing, "Alabama volunteers in Corrections" tutoring, "Enghsh as a Second Language" tutor- ing, and "Unicef" card selling. A big event in the spring of 1986 was the Intramural All-Stars vs. The Varsity in a basketball game in Bill Battle Colise- um. Proceeds from the fundraiser went to support 'SVS projects in the city. The crowd came and enjoyed the game of their time. They served; therefore, they worshipped at the basketball game. That is 'SVS.

'SVS needs you to get involved. Share, live, love, give, and work to make our little corner of the world a little happier and safer and drier. The fence around our college is not meant to separate us from the world. We have a gate, which we must pass thru to meet the real world with its needs and pains and joys and sorrows. We must go out to serve and them come in to worship. [\]

Concert Choir still on top

By Ellen Woodward

The Concert Choir enjoyed an unusu- ally busy season this year with one of the highlights being the 49th annual Carol Service held at McCoy United Methodist Church. Together with the Alumni Choir and the Southern Chorale, the Concert Choir, under the direction of Dr. Hugh Thomas, officially opened the Christmas Season in Birmingham with music dating from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century, originating in countries around the globe. Also in the program were com-

positions and arrangements by 'Southern's own Dr. Wilham Baxter, Dr. Hugh Thomas, and Mrs. Allen Orton Gibbs.

The most important performance of the year was given at the Regional Convention of the American Choral Di- rector's Association in Nashville. The choir found itself following the Army Male Chorus whose talented voices have entertained millions the world over. The audience loved Dr. Thomas' contrasting choice of music and the choir received a standing ovation and many letters in the ensuing weeks. [\]

The Baptist Orientation

Vun and Fellowship Active With BCM

By Chuck Goodman

Baptist Campus Ministries (BCM) is a Christian organization dedicated to serving the BSC students. Its primary function is to provide spiritual leader- ship to students through its worship services and outreach programs.

The 85-86 BCM was led by its new coordinator, Steve Thompson, head of the UAB Baptist Student Union. Steve's dedication to BCM and his sensitivity to people's needs led the organization to a successful and more diverse year. One goal that was accomplished by this year's BCM was to become more active on campus. BCM organized its first intramural basketball team, finishing with a 5-5 record. BCM also entered the organizational banner contest dur- ing Homecoming week claiming 1st place. BCM sponsored a very successful square dance, and sponsored study breaks in dormitories during exam week. Fruit baskets were also prepared and delivered to students during exam week. Bible studies and prayer groups were organized in the dorms to allow students time to gather with friends. BCM had a Welcome-

Back-to-School Party in the Fall to welcome Freshmen and upperclassmen to school. Two praise services were held, in which students had a chance to share their talents in a spiritual man- ner.

In the area of missions, BCM sends several groups each year to serve food and/or spend the night at the Birmingham Men's Shelter. This is a wonderful opportunity for students and faculty to serve men who come in to have dinner, sleep, and eat breakfast. Some students also go with BCM groups to Oak Knoll Nursing Home to spend time with some of its residents. Mission trips are also organized through BCM every Spring Break to al- low students to witness in word to a community. BCM missionary students went to such states as New Jersey, South Carolina, and California for the summer of '86.

BCM, while growing in membership and involvement, still has room to con- tinue growing. The Organization in- volves much more than a weekly worship service, and continues to strive to balance its resources between worshiping and ministering. |\

BCM members share their talents during their weekly meetings.

The Language Society

Phi Sigma Iota has banner year

By Kevin Tucker

Phi Sigma Iota is an honor society whose members are elected from advanced undergraduate and graduate students of foreign languages and from faculty members. Founded in 1922 at Allegheny College, Phi Sigma Iota be- came a national society when a chapter was established at Pennsylvania State University. BSC's Upsilon chapter be- came the 16th affiliate in 1931, and to- day there are more than 140 chapters in the U.S. Since 1984 Phi Sigma Iota

has been an international honor society with chapters in Mexico and projected chapters in Canada and other coun- tries.

Originally Phi Sigma Iota honored scholarships in five languages. In 1978 the society began to honor achievement in any foreign language as will as phi- lology, literature, and education.

BSC's chapter was inactive for many years until 1981, when Dr. Grace Marquez took the initiative to

reactivate the chapter. This year, under Dr. Marquez and Suzy Cheney (Pres.), the chapter has published newsletters informing members of job opportuni- ties and society news.

This year's members are president, Suzy Cheney, Vice-President, Carolyn Robertson, Sec, Amy Speake, Publicist, Kevin Tucker, Kristin Patterson, Philip Smith, Kris Hull, Wynn Hayes, Kathy Ray, Paul Robinson, and new members, Tonya Burleson, Mary Clements, Dorothy Klip, Charlotte Petznick, Jon Marc Rutherford, Barclay Browne, Regan Buzzard, Damon Rarick, John Sowell, Melanie Luther, and Elizabeth Gardner.

New members were initiated on April 27 in a ceremony held at Dr. Ward's home. [~|

It was the first week of school. Ner- vously I walked into the room. People. People were everywhere. People who were perfectly dressed, perfectly starched, with perfect smiles . . . "Hi, yes, thank you." A coke was in my hands, a security blanket of sorts. O.K., what did that rush brochure say? Be

yourself. Sure. Be confident but not cocky. Firm handshake. Look them in the eyes. "My major? I hope to go to medical school . . . my hometown? B'ham . . . my high school? John Carroll." Whew, that was easy enough. "Another coke? Yes, thank you." Someone said this group won the aca-

demic trophy . . . maybe I'll put on my glasses . . . "Hello, yes, medical school, B'ham, John Carroll." Really nice peo- ple. People who are trying to make me feel comfortable, reassure me about college. People who care each other, who work together and enjoy it. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?

Brothers. Sisters. Friends.

Ask any freshman going through rush why he or she is planning to pledge a fraternity or sorority and you'll prob- ably get one of a hundred reasons, from "because mommy or daddy was a member" to "I heard it was a lot of fun" to "being a member will look good on my resume." Ask these same stu- dents in their Senior year what the best reason is for pledging a fraternity or so- rority and they'll tell you without hesitation, "because of the people you'll meet." Your brothers, your sisters, your eventual friends.

Membership in a Greek organization can be an excellent compliment to a formal education. In many respects, the

life experiences one can gain from participating in the activities of a group of diverse individuals can be a valu- able education in itself. Fraternity' and sorority brothers and sisters learn to work together, to cooperate, to share. Members must practice patience, car- ing and understanding. Some members find their chapters to be excellent training grounds for perfecting leader- ship skills. Other members find their brothers and sisters to be available re- sources for tutoring and academic ad- vice. Learning to communicate with others is an important and valuable les- son facilitated by Greek organizations. And, needless to say, social skills are

honed to perfection. As with all broth- ers and sisters, now and then there may be a little disagreement. Even so, through each disagreement that arises, the opportunity to learn a valuable les- son in compromise and in respect presents itself. These are healthy lessons for anyone to learn.

Fraternity and sorority members spend a lot of time together telling secrets, laughing, getting rowdy at parties and organizing charitable events. They experience a lot. Because of all these experiences, they become the most important part of Greek Life, [s]

The Season for Soccer

^^^^KJ^^^^^H A Banner Year

By The BSC Soccer Team

he 1985-86 soccer season was filled I with ups and downs. It was the 1st winning season in the school's history, featuring the performances of the dis- trict's leading scorer George Harrell. and the 1st BSC soccer player to be- come an Ail-American, Tony Tropeano. However, it was also a sea- son in which the team played with spo- radic brilliance and at times seemed uncertain. In short, it was the type of year one could expect from a program in only it's third year.

With the arrival of Damen White, Alan Begley, George Harrel, Craig Smith, Richard Pittman, Peter Kittrell, and Tony Tropeano the team exper- ienced a complete face-lift. The result was a starting line-up including 4 freshmen, 4 sophomores, 1 junior, and 2 seniors, Troy Byron and Scott Bryant. In other words, 8 of the starting 11 had relatively little experience playing col- lege soccer, a situation that turned out

to be a double-edged sword during the year.

The season opened with a match against perennial powerhouse UAH. Although the Panthers lost 6-2, they showed signs of great potential and left the game confident of their abilities. The next 5 games demonstrated just what the team was capable of doing, as they methodically destroyed Huntingdon |5-0), Samford |5-0|, Shorter (9-0), Bryan |l-0] and Tennes- see Tech (3-1), thanks largely to the outstanding play of [im Bridges in goal and George Harrell. However in the next game at AUM, glimpses of the Panther's inexperience ijegan to show. Pla\'ing under extreme field conditions and receiving no sympathy from offi- cials unfamiliar with 'Southern's phys- ical style of pla\', the Panthers lost control and suffered an embarrasing defeat b\- the score of 1-3.

But the iulvantage oi having such a young team is. when j^rovoked, the\' can lie explosive. When AlIM came to Birmingham, 'Southern annihilated the \-isitors 5-1. Even though the\' lost the next game to Huntingdon 1-3, the Pan- thers enjoNcd an impressive \'ictory ()\'er North Georgia (4-2) in O.T. and a win over Colombus College 16-0). At this point, it appeared that the team's inexperience was no longer a factor.

However, after returning home from Florida suffering two losses, BSC pla\ed with a tremendous amount of c:onfidence and energx'. First, they beat Samford and then in one of the most exciting matches of the season defeated cross-town rivals UAB 3-2.

Afterwards, Coach Coldfarh gave the starting line-up a rest, allowing the sec- ond string to easih' handle Shorter 3-0. This break for the starters proved to be much more valuable than ex[)ected.

The second string got the chance to show off their talents and gain some irreplacable experience. In a torrential downpour, the Panthers forced

Sewanee, the most prestigious team in the area, into a defeat of 4-1 headed by the 2nd string of [)layers. It was an impressive victory that answered many of the questions concerning the team's occasional uncertainty on the field: when everything comes together, this team could be the best in the area.

In the season's end game against DAB at Legion Field, the Panther's suf- fered a nominal loss of 0-1. However, the end of the season made the soccer community see that BSC was made up of a little inexperience and alot of tal- ent and potential. [~

Another Great Year

Panthers Rank High in Nation

The 1986 Birmingham-Southern Base- I Homeruns and also a team lee ball team finished the year with 3^ I batting average. These statistic

victories against 20 losses. The 33 victo- ries was the highest win season since 1983. The Panthers who were the de- fending 1985 District Champions, fell one game short of repeating as District Champions in 1986.

Highlights of the year included victo- ries over Division I schools such as UAB, defeated twice by 'Southern. Also included in the win column were victories over Auburn, Middle Tennes- see and national powerhouse Missis- sippi State— a 15-4 victory in the sec- ond game of a double header in Starkville, Mississippi. Nationally ranked Division II Jacksonville State fell on opening day of 1986, 12-4 to the Panthers. The Panthers also handed conference rival Huntingdon a 9-0 pounding late in the year. At the time Huntingdon was ranked in the top ten of NAIA schools. The Panthers managed to go as high as 16th in the national polls.

However, inconsistency was a problem with 'Southern all year, but the 1986 team never gave up in any sit- uation. Down many times in the year, the Panthers seemed to always mount a comeback no matter what.

The 1986 Panthers had many out- standing individual performers turned in. Senior second baseman, Marc Mullins pounded out a team leading 13

Homeruns and also a team leading 400 batting average. These statistics earned him the District 27 Player of the Year award as well as Second Team All- American. At Shorter College he smashed 5 homeruns in a double-head- er. Along with Mullins, Trent Lowery earned a spot on the Honorable Mention Ail-American squad and a more impressive spot on the Academic Ail-American team. Trent, 'Southerns catcher, had a tremendous year behind the plate and with the bat which earned him All District 27 honors. Perhaps the most underrated ballplayer on the team was Van Shumaker. His two year credentials are outstanding. A two year total of 23 Homeruns and over 80 runs batted in and a batting average of over 350, Van was the most steady performer for the Panthers.

Other outstanding performances were turned in by pitcher Darren Burns, 9-1, Marcos Lopez, 6-3, and righthander Joe Bend who bounced back with a 5-2 record. Junior reliever Randy Cose also had a fine year on the mount, as did Keith Raisanen, John Co- hen and Jeff'Soles in the outfield. Bill Bradley was busy leading the team in stolen bases. Daren Burns and Keith Raisamen rounded out the All-District team for the Panthers in 1986. Senior captains Rocky Farmer and Jon Massey were quiet leaders for the Panthers and Freshmen Bill Donnell, Jon George, and Brian Lance contributed greatly to the 'Southern team. Freshman catcher Bill Fielitz saw action this year behind

Panther Mania

'Vatch Itr

The 1985-1986 version of the BSC Basketball team was one of the best that this school has seen in it's entire history. With four returning starters from a 24-6 team and two transfers from division one schools, this team was sure to have been a top twenty team in the NAIA. This turned out bet- ter than expected with a preseason sixth place ranking for the PAN- THERS.

The Panthers returning starters are John London, Jody Jacobs, Kevin Elston and Sam Oates, all seniors. These sen- iors are the backbone of the team and they put their experience to good use for this 28-4 season. The remaining players were Juniors Darrell Harris, Morris Gurley, Jim Crego, Ron Neil and Allen Love, Sophomores Paul McCrary and Brody Black, and Fresh- man Russell Smith.

The Panthers started the season with wins over Lee College and Belmont College before being beaten by William Carey in Hattiesburg. The Panthers won their next game against Florida Memorial and they traveled to Auburn to play the 10th ranked Au- burn Tigers. The Panthers were at a disadvantage against the Tigers but

they never gave up. The Tigers lost by a 61-51 margin. This game brought a new confidence to the Panthers who put together 14 straight wins including the BSC/Coca Cola Invitational Tour- nament and the Armstrong Classic ti- tles. Two of the wins were against Troy State 58-54 and a win over the number one ranked Division II Team Jackson- ville State. Jax State had a 36-game winning streak going into the game. The Panthers trailed throughout most of the game until John London sank a jump shot with 35 seconds left in the game :01 second in the game London sank 2 free throws to win the game for the Panthers 64-62.

The END of the 14-game winning streak also ended another streak. The Panthers played host to District 27 rival Athens State in what was to be a very disappointing night. The Panthers led throughout most of the game, leading 44-41 with less than 5 minutes remain- ing. After this the Panthers failed to score and Athens State won 56-46 and broke the Panthers home game winning streak at 50 and dropped them from fifth to eleventh in the NAIA Polls. This loss also created a 3 way tie for first place in the District. The Pan-

thers would not lose any more games until the National Championship. They averaged their loss to William Carey by winning 77-62 and defeated Montevallo and Alabama-Huntsville on the road leading to a rematch with Athens State. Athens State put up a good show in the game but Southern was ready and they were 55-49 on the Athens State Home Court. Southern wrapped up the district title by defeat- ing Auburn-Montgomery 59-56.

The eagle toss competition was ext, receiving at best lukewarm re- ponse. That evening students were treated ) dinner served by the faculty and aff. Low turnout prompted one stu- lent to say, "I would expect more in- erest by the faculty of the school Inhere there is supposed to be a close elationship between faculty and stu- lents." However, the professors and raff members who did turn out for the vent were greatly "admired", not to lention laughed at.

Once in a Lifetime

BSC Homecoming Is Fun for All

Possibly, the highlight of Homecom- ing week came that night at the AUM- BSC basketball game. The crowd was fully supportive during the game, in- spired by the close score and goading of the AUM support.

During break on Friday, the cafeteria treated the students to cotton candy, snow cones, and popcorn. Coach Joe Dean introduced the cheerleaders and basketball team following the awarding of prizes from tickets under the cafete- ria seats.

That evening following the crowning of Kym Williams as Miss BSC, about one hundred people attended the pep rally and bonfire held behind Simpson Party Barn. Those present had the op- portunity to view four senior basketball players' version of the Panther Shuffle and hear an inspiring speech from Coach Dean. Afterwards, the acoustic duo of Hiensohn and Day entertained the group with their folk song talent.

got a chance to win door prizes and see the crowning of 1986 Homecoming Queen Beth Gulley. The game was anti-climatic compared to Thursday's game, with Faulkner State University trailing by at least 20 points for most of the game. Door prizes including dinners given by Shamrock and Fifth Quarter restaurant, and limousine ser- vice for the evening were awarded during half-time. Awards were also presented to Baptist Campus Ministries and the third floor of Margaret Daniels dorm for their Homecoming banners. The dance capped off the evening with music provided by Harlequin (formerly Bad Habits) in Simpson. Many people were there to enjoy the dancing and soft drinks.

The week ended with a concert choir performance on Sunday to a full house at McCoy Methodist Church. One stu- dent said, "The best event of the whole week was the concert. I felt it was a once in a lifetime event." K]

On the Rebound

BSC Does the National Tournament.

The BSC Panthers carried a 27-3 record and a 3rd seed into the NAIA National Championships. This was the fifth appearance in the Tour- nament for the Panthers and the sec- ond in the last three years. The Pan- thers started the Tournament against Kearney (Neb.) State. Kearney State was making a record-tying ninth straight appearance in the Tournament. Kearney was in a rebuilding year but they would prove a tough opponent for the Panthers. The Panthers were shaking at the beginning of the game and the lead change where Southern opened a 36-29 advantage just before the half, but Kearney did not give up and tied the game 37-37 at the half. The second half was the complete op- posite of the first when Southern opened a 50-39 lead. Kearney didn't threaten the Panthers until the 2:58 mark when the score was 66-61. But Southern rose to the occasion and won 76-64. This put the Panthers into the fi- nal round where they had been only once before, and that was in 1978.

The second game pitted the Panthers against the Central Washington Wild- cats who were 26-5 and seeded 14th in the tournament. The Wildcats who have been in more National Tourna- ments than any other team had defeat- ed Findlay of Ohio 86-82 to advance to meet the Panthers. After the Panthers fell behind the Wildcats in the first five minutes 10-6, the Panthers rallied in the next 51/2 minutes to a 22-11 lead and they held the lead through the half. The Wildcats came back to cut the lead 31-27 at the half. Poor free throw shooting hurt the Panthers in the sec- ond half where they missed their first four attempts and lost the lead to the Wildcats 40-39 with 10:59 left. Southern lead for the final time with 7:43 left but the Wildcats answered with eight straight points to go up 54-48. Southern lost the game 59-56 and lost their bid for the National Title. Southern ended the season with a 28-4 record. [\

mpeted against the top 50 teams from ross the nation. The Women collect- nine points at Nationals, enough to pture 14th place. The young Men's

team, their first trip to the tournament in four years, managed 4 points, good enough to be ranked 26.

To receive an invitation from the N.A.I. A., the teams had to prove them- selves during the regular season of team competition. Both schedules were tough this year, including several Top Ten teams, approximately 25 matches, and various small tournaments played locally and in Georgia and Florida. The Tennis season began in late May — a rigorous and a successful four months. The Women's team continued their winning tradition, finishing the year with a 15-8 record; the men broke even at 13-13. Among the top colleges and universities that BSC played were Na- tional Champs Flagler (of St. Augus- tine) and the University of North Florida (in Jacksonville). District 27 competition included Auburn Universi ty in Montgomery (A.U.M.), Hunting- ton College, the University of Ala- bama-Huntsville, and our interstate ri- vals from the University of West

Florida.

A tennis team is really just a collection of individuals, each responsible for pulling his or her own weight. To win a meeting between two schools, BSC's players must combine for at least five of nine matches, consisting of six singles and three doubles. The Lady Panthers were lead this year by Team Captain Emily Duke, and education major nomi- nated for Academic All-American, who graduates this year. At no. 2 was another All-American nominee, Veteran Erin Kuchn who will be back next year. Freshman Kathi Rogers gave 'Southern strong support at no. 3 in only her first year. Kathi is sure to play some more ex- cellent tennis in her years ahead. At no. 4 was another of three juniors, Veteran Nancy Griffith. The other junior being Heather Comfort, an Academic All- American nominee at no. 5. Freshman transfer Bernadette Peters filled the gap at the sixth position. The doubles duo of Comfort-Peters amassed an incredible record of 14-2 on the year; possibly the

best in the district.

It was a young Men's team this year, with five of the eight players in their initial year, with all returning but one. Victor Martinez held the top spot for 'Southern this year; an emotional Mexican {or is that redundant), Victor has a year remaining to play. Team Cap- tain Christopher Ellis, one of only two players back from last year's team, was having an excellent season that was end- ed prematurely by a broken ankle the play before districts. Ellis should be healthy and undoubtably eager come next fall. Paul Rogers of Tuscaloosa gained a years experience at the no. 3 position at numbers 4 & 6 were two more fre.shmen; Danny Mahiszak of B'ham, and Floridian Chris Egan, who had an outstanding season. Speaking of out- standing. Senior |ohn Watts finished up an impressive career at 'Southern. He was an "All-American team." His lea- dership will obviously be missed next year.

Despite a slovi? start the Women's team lost only four matches and was 16 during the heat of the season. Peaking at just the right time, the 6 individual District spots and the District Team Title, automatically; qualifying for the National Tourney. Duke, Kuchn, and Rogers were

All-District singles performers, each winning at their respective positions. The rest of the girls contributed also, with several reaching the finals of their bracket and everyone winning doubles. After the smoke cleared, 'Southern had stacked up 9 points, beating out West Florida for the District 27 title.

The Men entered the District competi- tion with a broken ankle, Chris Ellis that is, and was not at full strength for the rest of the year. Despite courageous play from all, including freshmen reserves Patrick Herren and Chris Parker, 'South- ern was only able to produce 3 points, somewhat short of Winner A.U.M. and runner-up West Florida. The season did not end there for the Men though, as they received an invitation from the N.A.I.A. to play at the Nationals in Kan- sas City, due to their tough schedule and Top Twenty standing at the end of April.

With several upperclassmen, the 'Southern Women's team should be able to come up with a repeat performance next year, continuing to dominate their district.

A strong recruiting year backing them up, the Men can only improve, looking to better their not-so-shabby ranking of 26 in the next couple of years. [\

Much practice is put in for one game. Practice makes perfect.

By Cody Jones and Elise Lawson

ach year the fraternities and t sororities at Birmingham-Southern College eagerly await the start of intramural athletics. The prestigous All-Sports Trophy is awarded to the fraternity and sorority which compile the highest point total. However, the biggest award the winners receive is "the bragging rights" for next year. Point totals are recorded as follows: 150 points for first place, 120 points for sec- ond, third receives 90 points, and so on. In addition, each fraternity and sorority receives 50 points for participation. Never-the-less, the road to the champi- onship is a long and difficult one. For the fraternities, the road can be divided into five sections; football, volleyball, basketball, softball, and attendance at intramural meetings. Failure to attend the meetings results in a deduction of points. On the other hand, the sororities do battle in only volleyball, basketball, and Softball. The overall competition is further strengthened by a number of independent and faculty teams.

The 1985-86 intramural season started early in the fall with fraternity

football. Last year's champions SAE were favored early to retain their crown. As expected, SAE entered the playoffs undefeatable having beaten the Indy's, Theta Chi's, KA's, and ATO's. In the semifinals. Kappa Alpha kicked Theta Chi 16 to 8 while SAE routed the Indy's 20 to 0. For SAE everything seemed to be going accord- ing to plan. However, KA shocked SAE in the championship with a dramatic 8- 0 victory. Theta Chi took third place by defeating the Indy's 30-6 in the conso- lation game.

Following football, each fraternity began their preparation for volleyball. KA, was the early favorite. After de- feating the faculty, KA entered the playoffs with a perfect record, and

final set and won the match. SAE romped the ROMD's to grab third place.

In February, each fraternity sent its best five to the basketball court. It ap- peared early that each team had equal share of talent. In the playoffs, KA went against SAE, but in the semi- finals, Steve Jackson (SAE) sunk a halfcourt shot at the buzzer to nip KA 43-41. Theta Chi won the other semifinal game with a 61-45 victory over the Wilders. In the championship Theta Chi crushed SAE with a decisive 55-47 win. KA rebounded from its heartbreaking defeat to edge the

The final event for the All Sports Trophy is Softball. In the finals of the competition, the Theta Chi's went against the SAE's for the champion- ship. In a rousing game, the Theta Chi's edged out the SAE's 3-0 for the win.

In sorority competition, Zeta has clearly dominated. The Zeta's domination began with volleyball. After victories over AOPi, Pi Phi, AXO, and KD, Zeta Tau Alpha cruised into the playoffs with a perfect 6-0 record. The Pi Beta Phi's were the Zeta's first playoff victim. In the championship, Zeta demolished the Indy's. The AOPi's defeated the Pi Beta Phi's in the conso- lation game for third place.

Following volleyball, each sorority set its sights on basketball. Once again the ZTA's were clearly unbeatable. However, the Indy's proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Both teams posted a 4-0 record at one time during the tournament. Zeta nipped the Indy's 19-18 to end the regular season action. After defeating AOPi, the Indy's ad- vanced to the championship for a rematch with the Zeta's. Zeta held off a tough Indy charge to capture the title with a dramatic 36-35 win. The victory was particularly sweet because of the long time rivalry between the two groups of volleyball players. AOPi bombed KD 31-14 to take third place.

the overall standings. However, the Indy's were far from finished. The Indy's defeated the Zeta's 13-8 on April 28, to gain first place in the Softball standings. Zeta dropped to 3-1 for a tie with AOPi for second place. In the playoffs, Indy went against AXO winning 19 to 3, and ZTA stomped AOPi 10 to 4. So once again, the ZTA's were against the Indy's. However, this time proved to be victorious for the Indy's who reigned with a 15-10 victory taking the title. AOPi defeated AXO 16- 0 taking third place.

In the ever coveted All-Sports Hon- ors, ZTA emerged the winner with Theta Chi taking the honors for the men's intramurals. The entire season and year proved a healthy way to vent out the rivalry between fraternities and sororities as well as faculty and Independents. [\

Dining Out in Snavely

How to Sit in the Cafeteria

By

Cari Gisler

( *\A/here do you want to sit?"

YY This is a question that only a freshman would ask, and even then, only during his/her first month at Birmingham-Southern College. After a few weeks, the dilema of where to dine in the Snavely cafeteria is solved. As freshmen, we all committed the dreaded faux pas of sitting at the first available seat only to find ourselves surrounded by ATO's or Alpha Chi's. As upperclassmen, we understand the inconvenience of being uprooted by cafe nomads who have not learned proper seating etiquette. So what can we do? We can educate them.

The first lesson to learn is that most everyone has a place to sit while eat- ing. Greeks are easy to find because they each have a table (sometimes they spill over onto another, but generally it is only one), and all you have to do is look for the jerseys. The entire right side of the cafeteria is taken up by fra- ternities and sororities (ie: SAE, KD, AOPi, and KA). The baseball or basket- ball players generally sit towards the

ATO's Rick Nelson and Mike IViJJiams visit on the ATO table. which extends between the en- trances of the cafe.

back of the cafe' and to the right. They share the tables with APhiA as well.

As you move to the left of the room, the seating arrangement gets less rigid. ZTA, Theta Chi, AXO, Pi Phi, and ATO occupy this area for the most part. However, one or two tables are left greek-less, and so they are taken by Religion/Philosophy majors with a sprinkling of English or computer science majors.

All the way to the left of the room is chaos. This is where the Fine Arts (Theatre, Art, Music, and sometimes Dance] majors stop for a while. Any student can identify this area by the cloud of smoke hovering over it.

The second lesson is that this can all change depending on the hour of the day. In the mornings, the arrangements are rarely upheld unless someone has a particular attachment to a certain place. And if it after 6:00 p.m., you just about sit anywhere.

Now you know, so don't let it happen again.

Where Is My Money?

The Life of a Desperate Student

By

Hank Sherrod

% A Ihere did all of my money go?"

a bewildered BSC student asks as he considers making that dreaded phone call home asking for money. "Where did it all go?!?!"

The money phone call is unique in the college subculture and is significant because it has only one purpose — to ask Mom or Dad for MONEY! The money phone call wasn't very useful in high school (can't call home when you are home), and probably won't be after college ("You're on your own . . "], so we had better make good use of it now.

The occasion for the phone call, unfortunately, rarely coincides with Mom's, Dad's, or a sibling's birthday, and never any major religious holiday. Thus is often the catalyst for interesting conversations. Responses like "Are you okay?" or "You didn't wreck the car, did you?" are not uncommon if parents are unaccustomed to such unscheduled phone calls. If the conversation gets past these responses, then the student can ask for the big bucks. Of course, the parent in charge of the funds for the needy student asks the main ques-

tion: "Where did all of your money go?"

The student, equally confused, answers in a panic, "I didn't go out very much this term, and my books were outrageous!!" The statement "I didn't go out much" has many mean- ings in BSC language. Depending on inflection, the phrase can mean that the student did not go out the night before a crucial test or paper. It can also mean that an expensive night on Southside was forgone in exchange for a pitcher at the Tide. In some rare cases, it can actually mean that the student didn't go out very much that semester.

The student goes on to explain about Shamrock's Veal Parmesan and the money saved by avoiding the enormous hospital bills while dining at Formosa, Krispy Kreme, Wendy's or wherever. The student points out how he is furthering economic growth with trips to the new Galleria.

His parents are not convinced, but the money always comes. I guess they figure it is all part of a liberal arts education. |^

A student shows off the bare ne- cessities of a college student: a meal ticket, a credit card, and twenty-five dollars to burn.

An Andrews Affair

The Event of '86

By

Catherine Scalise

Who says BSG is too conservative to be trendy? Why the Hilltop has gone through just about every trend that has come down the pike! We've seen short hair, long hair, flipflops, hightops, neon and lace, leather & spikes, mousse, boxers. Swatches, paisley, Izods, rhinestones, and Add-a- Beads. Moreover, Birmingham-South- ern in the spirit of Boy George and An- nie Lennox, is welcoming the advent of Androgyny as a fashion statement with open arms. However, unisex clothing is no hot news item. Now, even the dor- mitories are experiencing difficulty in gender determination. The big conversion occurred at the end of this school year, when the student body was informed by Karin Christopherson, Director of Residence Life, that Andrews Dorm had decided to come out of its some 86 closets and become female.

Although this news was initially re- ceived with great dismay by its current residents and other male students, the notorious Third Floor, ever on the look- out for an excuse to throw a wing-ding, chose to greet the change with a spec- tacular, end-of-the-year soiree. Hence, the "Andrews Has a Sex Change Par- ty" was presented for the enjoyment of the student body.

On Friday afternoon. May 10, 1986, the quad entrance of Andrews was jammed with eager scholars, sporting opaque containers in a rainbow of smart primary colors. Their final desti- nadon: the legendary 3rd floor. Those in attendance were greeted with pleas- ant conversation. Southern hospitality practically oozing from the stucco-like walls, and of course, plenty of icy cold brew.

Host Extraordinaire Thomas Waters greeted his guests with such pleasant- ries as, "Hi! I'm Thomas Waters, heh, heh, heh" or "Well, darlin', you look

14:4 — Campus Lije

like you could use a beer" or, most of- ten, "Have you seen Lovely any- where?"

The events of the afternoon culminated with a photo of all the visi- tors and residents leaning out of the dorm's windows. After the keg was drained, all in attendance began the trek toward Snavely for a filling meal

of Meatloaf Supreme.

Karin Christopherson said of th gala, "it was the event of '86 here i BSC." This was the general consensu of the dozens present at the fieste When Waters was asked to commen he said, "Well, darlin', a good time wa had by all!" K}

Quest II Movie Series

By

Brooks Adams

The 1985-1986 Quest II movie sched- ule was most exciting, with 10 hit movies shown during the year to many students — students that were tired . . . and worn by the attrition of a regular daily schedule. The movies, shown in Munger, Simpson, and on the Quad provided a well needed break for many students, and occasionally, a faculty member.

Good scheduling and great movies helped make attendance better than previous years at most movies. However, the students were outnum- bered at least 5 to 1 by those little 12 oz. cans at any movie shown in Simpson or on the Quad.

The movies on the Quad are traditionally the most fun — students get their beer, their blankets, and their lovers (in that order) and go to the show. This year PJaces in the Heart, The Breakfast Club, and Back to the Future were shown outside. Although the wind tended to make the screen fall at most crucial moments (like when Character A sees parts of Character B he shouldn't see), everyone who remembered the movies had a very en- tertaining evening.

Weather often did not permit outside movies, so it was — MVUNGER — where it is illegal to have beer!! Also, the more

serious movies, such as The KiUing Fields, Witness, and Sophie's Choice were shown in conjunction with the 1986 Homecoming theme, "Once in a Life- time."

And then there was the Simpson Party Barn, where Quest II showed the Christmas favorite, It's a Wonderful Life; the psuedo-serious novel about sex, drugs, and rock and roll, and col- lege graduates, St. EJmo's Fire, and the ridiculously silly, Pee-Wee's Big Ad- venture.

Many felt that the 1985-1986 Quest II movie lineup was one of the most successful ever. Everyone had the op- portunity to see a good movie, drink a lot of beer, and blow off a hell of a lot of schoolwork.

Hilltopper Goes Hollywood

KA's in the Twilight Zone

By

Kacy O'Brien

Mr. Hilltopper 1986 claimed the wonderful world of television as its topic this year with categories ranging from Talk Shows to Situation Comedies. The evening started with the 1985-86 AOPi Pledge Class dancing to old television theme songs such as Bonanza, Gilligan's Island and Batman. The finished their portion of the program with the traditional chorus kickline to the theme from Bugs Bunny. Next, emcees Earl Freeman, Joelle James and Kristi Tingle introduced the night's judges: Dr. Susan Hagan, Dr. Jane Archer and Dr. Tom Moore who marched into Munger- Auditorium dressed in the judicial garb of robes and white wigs.

The first skit of the '86 Mr. Hilltopper was the Alpha Tau Omega's news show. The highlight of the cre- ative skit was Brannon Bowman's "Did you ever wonder why?" talk. Next the Alpha Chi Omega's led us into the "Election Zone" for the horror cate- gory. The sorority questioned the elec- tion of Flinch Seemsgross, Bewilder El- lis, Thrill Allen, and Flirt Senn as the new SGA officers. Following the Alpha Chi's was another rendition of the Twi- light Zone presented by the Kappa Al- pha Order. The winning skit showed a rushes, Ted Strong, traveling through a new dimension of time and space to experience each fraternity of campus. The Kappa Alpha's epitomized each fraternal organization of the campus in- cluding themselves, but the rushee nev- er got to make a choice. Because of a

suspect pizza and an evil dehvery man, the rushee was sentenced to life as an Independent GDI. To round out the first group of skits, the Kappa Delta's presented their version of M*A*S*H for the situation comedy category.

During the break between skits, the Mr. Hilltopper candidates were introduced— AX, Marty Mead; ATO, Kent Pearson; KA, Andy Hawkins; KD, Jim Poist; Pi Phi, David Taylor; SAE, Rodney Ferguson; Theta Chi, J.D. Wheeler and ZTA, Joey Jennings.

Opening the second portion of skits was the Theta Chi's spinoff of the television western "Gunsmoke." The Sigma Alpha Epsilon's followed with an interesting interpretation of the Da- vid Letterman Show. The skit com- bined the talents of an ice cream juggler, fish cleaners and a rabid dog impersonator. The Zeta's presented the dramatic story of the College's comput- er system becoming possessed. After at- tempts to fix the system by Dr. Berte, Stewart Jackson and Jimmie the Salad Lady, Andy Moses — SGA President and all-around good guy — comes to the rescue of the endre college. The final skit was a comedy skit presented by Pi Beta Phi. The Pi Phi's M*A*S*H-ori- ented skit epitomized each Greek orga- nization through a rousing camp song.

The judges' decision is based not only on the skits but also the candi- dates' resumes and each Greek group's attendance. This year's judges picked the Kappa Alpha candidate Andy Hawkins as Mr. Hilltopper 1986. [iH

AXO Presents: Casino

Living It Up for Cystic Fibrosis

By

Ellen Beal

Casino this year was a fantastic par- ty. Held on March 10, in the Simpson party barn, this party comes complete with gambling tables, ciga- rette girls, door prizes, and male strip- pers. Casino is the Alpha Chi's major philanthropy project. All the proceeds go to cystic fibrosis, and the chapter is proud to announce that it raised $2100 for the cause.

But what is Casino? Like I said, this party has something for everyone. Tickets are three dollars, and each per- son is given twenty-five hundred dollars (in AXO monopoly money) to gamble with. There is the choice of playing craps, roulette, poker, or black- jack. Each fraternity volunteers a mem- ber or two (or three) to act as dealers. At the end of the evening, the top mon- ey winner receives a Grande Prize, and this year the prize was a Romantic Evening complete with Limousine Ride, Dinner, and Wine and Cheese baskets. The top money winner was none other than our very own SGA president, Fench Seagroves.

For those of you that prefer dancing to gambling, the ever-popular Extras played this year. They certainly added to the success of the party.

The highlight of the evening's enter- tainment was the male strippers. This year the crowd had the extreme plea- sure of watching )ohn "Cujo"

Holliman, )oe "Chippendale" Tondera, Ted "Cruise" Strong, and the returning champ from 1985, Chris "White Horse" Moseley. The winner was chosen by audience appreciation, and John Holliman (aka: Billy Idol) won by a very close margin. John went home with a Pioneer car stereo (pretty good incentive).

Other entertainment during the band break consisted of a dance performed by the 1985 Alpha Chi Omega pledge class, set to music from A Chorus Line. Next on the program were two numbers danced by Shannon O'Meara, Tracy Fulton, Melanie Markham, Diane Duffey, Jim Newman, and Wade Smith. The winners of the door prizes were announced by the much loved and greatly appreciated emcee, Tom Moore.

Casino wouldn't be complete without the annual pledge stripper, however. Each year an AXO pledge is hand- picked by the Casino chairperson (Debbie Shih this year) to entertain the crowd. Yvonne Pfister was the lucky choice for this year's festivities, and she put on quite a show.

Casino '86 was a fantastic success. The Alpha Chi's put a lot of hard work into the party. Casino is a lot of fun for a three dollar admission price, and it's a good cause as well.

Playing Together

Greeks Enjoy Friendly Competition By

Kem Jones

Running, jumping, screaming, and singing their way to victory, the brothers of Theta Chi fraternity and the sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority won the annual Greek Week competition in April. The events held during the five days of activity drew on the diverse talents of each fraternity and sorority as the competition demanded both athletic and musical skills.

Greek Week began and ended on philanthropic notes. Greeks rolled up their sleeves on Monday to participate in the Circle K/American Red Cross sponsored Blood Drive. Over 200 pints of blood were donated in a very worthy

cause. On Friday, Greeks and College officials braved the murky depths of the dunking booth's waters to raise money for the Riley Community Cen- ter. Dr. Robert Moxley, Vice President for Business Affairs, proved to be the biggest money maker of the afternoon as student after student tried to dunk their favorite administrator. Many suc- ceeded. A scavenger hunt sent Greeks searching for spaghetti noodles, a dog, toilet paper and even an independent student. A game of Trivial Pursuit pit- ted some of the great Greek minds in a fierce intellectual competition. Athletically, Greeks were called

upon to run in a mile relay, a mile run, a 5-K run and the hundred yard dash. Fraternities clashed during the tug-of- war and hulked their way through the keg toss competition. Greeks also used their aquatic skills in the swim meet held at the pool.

Greek games required less athletic skill and more luck as fraternity and sorority members tossed eggs, raced in sacks and searched for ping-pong balls in mounds of whipped cream with their faces.

The highlight of the week was the Greek Sing competition. Serving as a warm-up, the Greek God and Goddess

Contest thrilled the packed Munger Auditorium Audience. Alpha Omicron Pi's Leslie Blake and Theta Chi's Alan Hurd were crowned the winners. The Greek Sing performances highlighted campus events and spoofed campus personalities while exhibiting the talent and creative range of Birmingham- Southern College Greeks. In the winning sorority entry, Zeta Tau Alpha began their program with a medly of songs depicting the life of a 'Southern student and ended with a song on sisterhood. In the fraternity division, Theta Chi and SAE tied for first place. Theta Chi depicted an old west saloon scene in "The Ballad of Burleigh Clyde." Dressed in three-pieced suits, horned-rimmed glasses, and equipped

with Wall Street Journals, the SAE's poked fun at themselves as they "sang" their rendition of "Progress is the Root of all Evil."

"The spirit, enthusiasm, and overall effort was outstanding" said Kem Jones, Director of Student Activities and Services. "Each of group had a high percentage of participation. The week was truly a celebration of Greekism on the BSC campus." Every- one seemed to have fun, and the spirit of competition was shown at its best. Also, the fun was not confined to the Greeks. Independents enjoyed spectating, and the Alpha Lambda Del- ta Scholars Bowl finals provided enter- tainment for everyone. [\]

The Snaveltorium Cuisine

Students Sample Shamrock Menu By

Deborah Holland

They dined on chicken a I'Orange, veal with white sauce, cauliflower casserole, stir-fried vegetables, lemon merengue pie, and cream puffs. Which Birmingham restaurant serves such an assortment you ask? Well, this food was not served in any restaurant, it was served in the Madelyn Suavely Ball- room by Shamrock Food Service.

Through a joining effort of Shamrock and Student Affairs, a Food Services Committee was established in Febru- ary. Athletes, greeks, and dorm reps were a few who made up the diverse group of twenty-five. They soon found out they were to serve as "guinea pigs" while representing the taste buds of the entire campus.

The first meeting of this committee, a tasting party, was even noted by the media. At this meeting, and all of those

that followed, students tried new recipes of meats, vegetables and des- serts not currently served by Shamrock on the daily menus. The tasters then offered praise or criticism to the cafete- ria cook, managers, and servers who also attended the meetings. Comments ranged from "The orange sauce is too 'orangey'," "I hate asparagus and don't think you ought to waste our money on it," and "The cherry pie is a must!" The recommended items were then served to the student body.

The committee was a strong effort by Shamrock to please the taste buds of those it served while also dissipating the mystery meat and leftover theories. The committee will continue to meet three times a semester. Meanwhile, pleasant dining. pT]

Gormet dishes from every Jand are featured at Shamrock's Taste-Testing meetings. Audrey Bryan eageriy awaits to be served chicken a I'Orange by Shamrock's Linda Hawkins.

Quest II Strikes Again.

By

Catherine Scalise

Never let it be said that Quest II can't throw a party, 'cause it just ain't so. This fact was proven on the evening of Friday, May 3, at the 1986 Quest II Entertainment Festival, held in the Simpson Party Palace.

The evening began with comedians imported from Birmingham's own Comedy Club. Mark Dichiara, a Birmingham-Southern graduate, kicked the evening off with jokes o'plenty.

Next on stage was comic guitarist Mark McCullom who set his sharp wit to mu- sic with thunderous applause as rhythm backup. Finally, the crowd jammed to the tunes provided by J-Town Sound, a local blues band.

In addition to the entertainment. Quest II provided free soft drinks and DeVinci's pizza at 25(1; a slice. Of course, many brought their own re- freshments in playmate cooler, buggies.

and the over-popular opaque container. Students turned out in full force for the pre-exam bash. Despite end-of-the- year Greek events, turn out was excel- lent; there was a full house all evening, and close to 100 faithful onlookers stayed until security began locking up. Quest II was very pleased with the outcome of the affair, ir— i

Is There Nightlife?

What to Do in Birmingham?

By

Mara Rainville

Potential Material: What is there to do in the big city, anyway? College Junior: Nothing!

Well, you're wrong, oh jaded one! There's plenty of nightlife. One just has to be resourceful! If you're just looking for a relaxed evening with a pitcher or two, there are the trusty standbys, The Touchdown Cafe and The Tide and Ti- ger, or perhaps the Pitcher Show. ($1.50 movies!]

For a little more excitement, try Louie Louie with live music and longnecks every night of the week ex- cept Monday (and don't forget — no cover Tuesdays!), Here you can enjoy the sounds of Split the Dark, Tomboy, Telluride, Chevy 6, and of course, everybody's favorite The Extras. But everyone knows that partying at Louie's can get rather expensive — so for you bargain hunters . . . drink specials!!

For Longlsland Tea Lovers: Spats: $2.95 in a quart Mason jar from

11am to 9pm Tuesdays. Austins: $1.00 LIT's from 4pm-9pm on

Fridays, quart (32 oz.) Clyde Houston's teas are a steal at $3.75 all the time.

For Beer Lovers:

Smokey Joe's Cafe: $3.00 pitchers during happy hour, different Beer of the Week every week.

Tide and Tiger: Miller Longnecks

75(1: Tuesday nights, Lite Longnecks 75(1: Thursday nights.

Miscellaneous: Dugan's Drink of the Day: reduced price on a certain drink each day.

Bennigan's: happy hour everyday from 11 am to 7pm.

Don't forget regular happy hour from 4-7 at nearly every establishment in town!

Don't despair, those who like to cele- brate on Sundays — Birmingham is be- coming some what more liberal! T.P. Crockmeiers, Clyde Houstons, Rube Burrows, Austins and Hoppers to have private licenses.

Late nighters — you don't have to go home at 2:00! The plaza is invariably open until everyone goes home, and P.T.'s Tavern serves great food until 4:00 am.

If you're in a more sedate mood and just want to sit back and catch a movie, well, $4.25 is a bit much! So try Magic 96 Movie Monday — $1.96 (and popcorn and a coke for a mere 96(1; — what a bargain!) Not such a steal, but still economical is Cobb Theatre's $2.50 Tuesday movie.

But maybe, (you pre-med, law etc.) you'd better stay home and study — you can always use a punch in the campus store or catch the movie on the quad! (5-)

Fashion on the 'Top

The day: May 6, 1986. The time: 4:47 p.m. The place: The Charles An- drew Rush Learning Center Plaza, aka: The Fountain. As I recline on the wall of the fountain, a cool breeze blowing through my bilevel bob, I cross my Guess clad legs, kick off my orange reptile flats, roll up the sleeves of my favorite Calvin Klein shirt, and don my Way-Farers. At last, I am ready for fad gazing. As I study the passers by, I dis- cover 3 major fashion avenues: "I Wanna Be a Rock Star," "Sixties' Throwback," and "Pre-Yuppie."

Miss Wanna Be saunters by sporting an oversized paisley sweater with shoulder pads borrowed from Joe Namath. The sweater covers three co- ordinated tank tops, the bottom one bearing a suspicious resemblance to Queen Anne's lace. On her left breast dangles an antique rhinestone brooch gleaming in the late afternoon sun. The

Jam shorts brought coJor to the campus with their bright colors and wild designs.

sleeves are slightly elevated to reveal a Limited Edition Swatch with a .00739 karat genuine diamond fragment at high noon. The sweater tops a pair of basic black stirrup pants which her roommate must help peal off. Finishing the outfit are royal blue Reeboks and a pair of brass earrings that look like Ro- man shields. Of course, the left ear is pierced at least three times.

Mr. Wanna Be eases by in an oversized, buttoned-to-the-neck shirt (no unnatural fibers, please, we're al- lergic). Magically, this cotton wonder is impervious to wrinkles. He too has a pierced ear — anything but a diamond stud is a glamour don't. The subtly printed suspenders make contact with

pleated baggies, preferably WilliWear, but Generra will have to do for the budget conscious. The cuffed trousers smartly cover his trusty Converse hightops. Topping his dashing outfit is the short coif with gelled ringlets.

You can pretty much bank on the fact that the "Sixties' Throwbacks" are Fine Arts majors, though their sex is usually undeterminable. It's not so much that these folks are trying to make a fashion statement, rather they generally grab the first thing they find on the floor in the morning. "Outlet Bonanza" best describes this apparel genre. Must haves include tie'dyed tees with all manner of rips and cig holes, jeans originally owned by Strauss himself and Jesus sandals.

The last, least daring mode of dress is the ever-popular "Pre-Yuppie" look. These garments may as well have mon- ey woven in the fabric because an as-

If it happens to be a test day on the Hilltop, Patty Prep will be wearing a perfectly tailored Laura Ashley dress with pastel pumps and tons of gold encircling her neck. If she's bumming, she'll sport the Esprit casual look with tank tops and Italian cotton sweaters, starched walking shorts, color coordi- nated jewelry and socks, and very, very cute shoes. Always her hot-rolled high- lighted hair (by Eric) is bound in color- ful ribbons with monster bows on the top. Oh, and no plastic watches for Daddy's Darling. We must have our Gucci or Rolex to know when that yawn of a 9:15 will end.

Mr. Pre-Yup (call him Skippy] won't be seen if he's not in a neatly pressed "glad to be plaid" shirt. His short, short hair is always parted on the left. His

boxers are plainly visible beneath his Banana Republic khaki shorts. And he always has on tennis shoes.

Of course, there are many in- betweens in these 3 categories. And mention must be made of the invasion of traditionally rock-n-roll garb. For those who wouldn't dare climb out on a fashion limb. Never let it be said that BSC isn't style conscious!

Watch companies finally caught up to the MTV generation and designed flashy watches to match neon high tops and jam shorts.

The Stairway to Heaven

Actors Are Remembered by the Theatre

By

Tina Lilly

Most actors hope to be remembered when they are gone by a sidewalk star in Hollywood, or a classic film that will enable them to live on. But these actors are not aware of a very special way they are honored by 'Southern's theater majors: dead actors are irrever- ently honored by being placed in the Memorial Block Stairwell in the Col- lege Theater.

The Memorial Block Stairwell is a three-story high spiral staircase stage left in the theater. Each time an actor dies, one of the cement blocks on the wall is painted, then the actors name and commentary are written on the block. Theater people race to the stair- well following the announcement of a star's death so they will be the one to paint his block.

"When an actor dies, I don't think about who he was, or what he accom- plished," said junior theater major Cari Gisler, "I just think about putting his name in the stairwell."

Most inductees into the Memorial Block stairwell are not remembered with respect or reverence. Karen Carpenter's epitaph reads, "Rainy days and Monday's always make me hungry," because she died of anorexia nervosa, while Natalie Wood, a drown- ing victim, is remembered with, "To a woman who never showered on the boat because she liked to wash up on the shore."

"The most fvm part of the stairwell is trying to think of the crudest saying to write on a block," said freshman

theater major Sean Devine, author of Vic Morrow's epitaph, "Are you sure this thing is safe?" Morrow was decaptitated in a helicopter accident.

The stairwell was founded by gradu- ate Johnny "Killer" Johnson in 1983 when he wanted to memorialize the legendary Paul "Bear" Bryant. Johnson followed with Ethel Merman, "I never had a lesson! (And honey it showed)."

One note to trivia: Johnson is one of only four live people, with blocks in the stairwell. The others are senior theater majors Michael Merino and Beth Ensey; and Freshman Sean Devine. Ensey and Devine painted their own block in the stairwell.

"We were hiding from Karen Drews (technical director for the theater)," said Ensey, "We couldn't think of any - dead people, so we put ourselves in the stairwell."

Drews is the caretaker of the stair- well. She saves pictures of dead actors through the year, and when there is a lull between productions, she assigns her students the duty of, "updating the stairwell."

While some people may view the Memorial Block Stairwell as insulting to legendary performers, theater majors at 'Southern treat the stairwell as sa- cred ground. Senior Ehzabeth Janes spent hours in the stairwell waiting for her entrance in "Godspell." She tear- fully remembered that the stairwell, "gave me new perspective on my mortahty." K2

Some 'Southern Fun

Bands Rock BSC

by

David Fawal

I

Audrey Balkcom enjoys the Sunday sun and the nostaJgic sounds of Chevy 6.

Chevy 6 emptied the dorms for an oJd-fashioned Southern lawn party.

The 5th annual Southern Comfort Weekend took place on April 10-13, 1986. The weekend involves 2 days and 3 nights of various bands, and is spon- sored by the Birmingham-Southern SGA, with your activity fee.

In the past, the parties have been held periodically on the Dorm Quad. This year, however, due to the damage to the Quad from last years weekend, the parties were moved to Simpson Hall.

The weekend began with the Jimmy Colvin Band. Jimmy brought a R&B/Jazz mixture to the campus, which everyone loved. The turnout for this party (Thursday night) was more than I ever expected, and I believe people genuinely enjoyed Jimmy's mu- sic.

Friday night, a band previously unheard of in Birmingham played for us. The band. Actors on Strike, played a mix of progressive. Top 40, and 50's/60's rock. Although the turnout

was high, the band did not go over as well as I would have liked. Some stu- dents disliked their selection of music, while others disliked the way they played the music. Nevertheless, there was still a large crowd in Simpson for the final song.

We received permission from the Administration to have the two "day" bands on the Dorm Quad. Despite this fact, the weather did not cooperate with us, and Lost in the Mail Band played in Simpson on Saturday after- noon. LITM played an interesting mix of reggae and 60's rock, very mellow music for a Saturday afternoon. Sur- prisingly, turnout for LITM was fair, even though it was raining on and off all that day. LITM put on a good show as usual.

This year, we were lucky to have two grand finales to the weekend. The first was Saturday night, when Tomboy played to a packed house in Simpson Hall. Playing 50's/60's and contempo-

ndrews residents attempt to eate a true Southern party ith stoien dorm furniture. All at is missing are the mint ;u- ps.

Tomboy, along with Wibur Ellis and myself, realized that another set would be welcomed, so we made a deal allowing them to play for one ex- tra hour. This turned out to be a wise decision, and the crowd lingered to hear the band. Compliments to Tomboy for an impressive show.

The second grand finale, and the ac- tual end to the weekend took place on Sunday afternoon. This time, the pow- ers that be allowed a beautiful sunny afternoon — perfect for sunbathing on the Quad to the tunes of Chevy 6. Chevy 6 played predominately 50's/60's (Beach) rock, and they played it to a full Dorm Quad of bronzed bodies, and frisbees flying everywhere. They were an excellent end to an excellent weekend, and Sunday afternoon was truly a success.

The entire weekend was sponsored, in part, by Miller Beer. They donated some money, along with beer for the night parties at Simpson Hall. Miller also allowed us to give away t-shirts, hats, posters, and cups commemorating Southern Comfort. I'd like to express my appreciation to Steve Snypes for working with us to get Miller's support.

I would also like to thank "Tex" of Tired Texan Barbeque for selling his great sandwiches during some of the parties. Everyone loved having the best Barbeque in town. Thanks Tex!

I would also like to thank the pre- vious and the new SGA members for their support and assistance. In particular, Vice-President elect Wilbur Ellis, did a fantastic job helping with the weekend. Thanks Wilbur. Also, thanks goes to our students support of SGA and of Southern Comfort, making it truly the best party weekend in the state. [\j

Miss BSC, Kym Williams, accepts congratulations from her predecessor, Angela Callahan.

Miss Birmingham- Southern

A Contestant's Perspective

By

Lucy Tatman

Keeping with the proud tradition that resulted in the Miss Alabama Pre- liminary in 1986, yet another outstand- ing 'Southern student, Kym Williams, was crowned in February at the Col- lege Theatre.

Kym, a junior from Slidell, Louisi- ana, was a relative newcomer to the pageant circle. Never the less, she swept the Miss BSC title which, in ad- dition to requiring poise and the ability to interview effectively, show-cased her singing talents. Kym sang "Some- where That's Green" from the Broadway musical "Little Shop of Horrors" to a thunderous ovation.

The next step after the school's com- petition was to prepare for the Miss Alabama Pageant where Kym compet- ed against sixty other outstanding wom- en from across the state. After a week of tedious competition, after everyone had simg and danced and after every smile had been smiled, BSC's entry captured the second-runner-up spot, a virtually unheard of performance for a first time entree.

Said Kym regarding the pageant, "Not only did I receive much needed scholarship money, I learned so much about myself. Miss Alabama is not just a 'beauty' pageant. Fifty percent of the pageant is based on talent. I gained so much confidence and self-worth and got to do the thing I enjoy most and feel I do best. Granted, the swimsuit competition is not my favorite thing to do, neither is evening gown, but it was a challenge and I survived. Singing is something that is simple for me to do in front of others but saying a speech is not. Never the less, I said my speech, walked out in my swim suit, and went home very proud of myself."

Proud indeed. Tabbed as an early fa- vorite for next year's Miss Alabama crown, Kym captiu-ed the Miss Ail- American Bowl title in August, netting her yet another thousand dollar scho- larship, an appearance on national television during the All-American Bowl, and most importantly, another shot at the state crown.

Keeping

Up the

Campus

Another BSC Blessing

By Kristen French

Birmingham Southern has a reputation for looking good, and the credit belongs to our fine maintenance people. They give their all, whether routinely blowing leaves and debris off the sidewalks to laying down grass at the last minute for those special occa- sions. How could we keep up our high standards without their help?

The importance of everyday mainte- nance shines through in regular activit- ies of these brave men and women. Taking their cue from the administra- tion of BSC, they keep the foliage clipped, being sure to guide the growth of the campus. The fountain gets its own deserved attention, but only in time to spoil Dr. Bailey's plans to bring

his biology class out to study algae growth.

How often have we noticed the innovation of maintenance when visi- tors are due? The campus takes on an aureate quality of green for patrons and prospective students, whether spring or fall, the heat waves of sum- mer or the bitter cold of winter. One must admit that the grass seems to spring from nowhere at these times, in easy to install square patches or in the guise of green straw strewn over bare earth, giving the campus that artificial quality of a man wearing a badly made toupee.

However, maintenance is not here only to give the public an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. The responsibili- ties of maintenance also cover the needs of those who live here — the stu- dents. But however much we complain about maintenance, we do appreciate them. The campus is clean and pleas- ing to the eye and runs fairly smoothly thanks to all their hard work. [\]

What Fountain?

by

Monique Randall

The students at Birmingham-Southern College have started a pleasant but curious tradition of sitting by the foun- tain outside. It is obvious that sitting out in the sun can be a pleasurable experi- ence but the question that we must ask ourselves is whether or not there is a hidden motivation. Is it mere sun worship or something deeper? Search- ing for the answer to the meaningless question posed for this assignment transformed into a type of personal quest. There are many theories about fountain sitting but none have been pinpointed as the real, underlying reason. The reader can only glance over the various theories and identify his or her own personal reason for fountain sitting.

The basic reasons for fountain sitting which come to mind are convenience, sun worship and an abundance of available gossip. One typical Birmingham-Southern student. Randy Cachet, quite eloquently pointed out the convenience of the fountain. Randy said, "It is in the middle of everything." This is certainly true. The sun-loving BSC students congregate around the fountain and are easily identified by their brown skin. The abundance of gossip is normal when 3 or more stu- dents gather for more than four

minutes.

Aside from the usual reasons for fountain sitting are the deeper hidden motivations. Judy Ranelli, a student, feels that "people sit by the fountain because of an unresolved oedipal complex." The fountain is an enclosed body of water and it has been com- pared to the womb. Dr. Lloyd Slone also has an enlightening theory on the odd practice of fountain sitting. He says that students gain their intellectual nourishment from the library. Suavely provides physical nourishment and the art building provides spiritual nourish- ment. The foimtain and Dr. Tucker's bold gleaming sculpture above it provide the desired sensual nourish- ment, and thus, all needs are met.

The tradition of fountain sitting at BSC has been overlooked for quite some time. Some students have yet to realize the significance of the fountain. One Art student, J.T. Farmer, sums up his feelings on the subject with "What? The big urinal outside the art build- ing?" So what is the mysterious reason that we sit by the fountain? There is no specific answer. The answer is indivi- dual, so at our next sitting we must all contemplate and discover our own per- sonal motive. pD

'Southern Gets a New Entrance

Although it is a pretty hard adjustment for us," residents of Ninth Avenue understand the reasons for BSC's acquisition and demohtion of their homes, according to Mrs. Cather- ine Erickson of 816 Ninth Ave. West.

Residents in the area of Arkadelphia and Ninth say that they were contacted last year as to Southern's plans for re- constructing the back entrance to the college, and they had time to adjust themselves to the idea of relocation.

The property is necessary for the planned construction of a 1.7 million dollar entrance along with other road

The timing of the project is designed !o take advantage of the widening of i\rkadelphia Road that is currently un- derway.

i Moxley explains the need for the broject as part of 'Southern's continuing excellence program. The iiew entrance will make it even easier 0 get on and off campus and facilitate he use of the campus for more activit-

les.

The construction on Arkadelphia Road will allow for a traffic light to control traffic at the entrance. Visibility on Arkadelphia will also improve with the 7-foot lowering of the hill at Ninth Court West.

The entrance will consist of a two- way split road entering the campus in the vicinity of the current North Gate. The new property on that side of the campus will allow for the construction of an additional parking lot adjacent to the Methodist center. Walkways will lead from the parking lot to the Center.

The fence will be repositioned in order to contain the new property.

Because the new entrance will be- come the main entrance, a sign and a new guard shack will be constructed. For the same reason, work on upgrad- ing the facades of the buildings near the entrance is included in the same project.

Although any construction on campus is disruptive to some extent, Moxley says that this project should be less troublesome than the construction that will be done outside the gate on Arkadelphia.

Meal Ticket Drudgery

Changes in the Food System

By

Vickie VanValkenberg

Some people would be surprised to discover that the most important place for social interaction at BSC is not a fraternity house or a sorority chapter room or even the dorms. When most students want to see a lot of peo- ple, they go to the cafeteria in Suavely Student Center. The cafeteria here is far more than a place to eat (in fact, some would argue that this is its secon- dary purpose).

It is the place students go to catch up with what is going on, to see friends after spending two or three days in study-hibernation for a test, and to just drink some coffee, read the newspaper, and make small talk with passers-by. Regardless of where or with whom a student sits his main purpose is prob- ably to see a lot of people he would otherwise loose touch with, and to just keep up with what goes on.

While all of this is important, the food also deserves a few words here. The food in the BSC cafeteria, snackbar, student store is prepared by Shamrock food services and is distrib- uted on a one-punch, one-meal ticket basis, with 21, 14, and 10 meal per week meal tickets available. Both the food and the meal ticket system have long been subjects of controversy among the students.

Many students complain about the quality of the food, but the meal ticket system is the center of even more complaints and controversy. Students must buy meal tickets, unless they have medical problems the food service can- not deal with, and many beheve the prices are too high. Even more controversial is the relative closeness in price of the 10, 14, and 21 meal tickets, which are $695, $730, $775, respective- ly.

This, coupled with the apparent stu- dent dissatisfaction with the food, re- sult in the periodic bubbling up of con- troversy, which usually appears in newspaper articles and SGA action such as the SGA food committee

surveys and its actions last year.

Food Services director Mike Flory defends the quality of the food saying, "The vegetables are frozen — they're top of the line, we have quality roast beef, the chicken is Holly Farms, and the ham is Oscar Meyer." Flory be- lieves that for most students, the BSC dining experience is made less enjoy- able not by low food quality, but by the environment in the cafeteria, pointing out noise and dirty tables as the main culprits.

Flory also stresses that students input is sought through the taste testing com- mittee, which is open to all students, and through the comment cards, the comment-booth in the cafeteria, and through work with the SGA food com- mittee. He also defends the meal ticket system, saying, "The school is obligated to provide food service and we must have so many on the plan to support it."

BSC Vice President for Financial Affairs Rob Moxley also defends the cafeteria food and the system, saying, "Mike Flory and his people do a very good job, I wish they were appreciated more." Also, responding to the student complaints about the administration's closed mouthedness on food budget matters, he says, "We don't release budget-figures on anything. That's the way we've been working since I've been here. It's a general guideline of operations."

Two changes in the food system that students are able to applaud, however, are the advent of the 10 meal ticket this year and the new program by which students may buy items in the campus store with their meal tickets. The later program was started during the 1986 interim term.

This campus store program has been one of the most popular actions the col- lege has taken in food service in recent times. According to Moxley, around 1700 punches (valued at $2.50] are be- ing used to buy food in the campus

store every week. This usage, he says, has "been much greater than we antici- pated." He also indicated that the ad- ministration would seek to economize in the campus store next year as this program continues.

Still the controversy over the food system goes on, and probably will con- tinue for some time. There is hope, with greater input through the taste testing committees, comment cards, and even appealing to interested SGA members, perhaps students may be able to make more of the changes they desire in the food service program.

Spring Fever Takes Its Toll

By

Jennifer Howard and Carla Higgins

I've been up 30 hours and 12 minutes. Sleep creeps towards my frontal lobe. I have no energy left. I am completely brain-dead. It was a long trip back from Phillips and my mid-term. I might have passed.

The only thing on my mind now is the beach . . . my friends knock on the door of my room. "Yo," I respond. Having had no sleep, "Come in please" was the last thing on my mind. "Are you ready?" they ask, beachtowels and cooler in hand. "I was born ready," I managed to utter. "I thought you were born to shop." "Yeah, I was, but now I'm ready to flop ... on the beach."

Moments later, eight cylinders of wa- ter-cooled engine burst forth power as we sped (figuratively, of course) down the interstate loaded with my dearest friends in the world. It's unbelievable how eight such intelligent, indepen- dent, diverse women can get along so well together.

"Let's listen to my Barry Manilow tape," a small voice squeaked from the back seat. "Are you kidding?" I hate it when she bears such a resemblence to

Rebecca of Sunnybrook farm. "I'm definitely feeling more like some Springsteen," I said with authority, sitting in the middle of the front seat, tape deck just inches from me. "Well, it's my car and I feel our voyage calls for a little Journey. Get it? Voyage, Journey, isn't that funny!" Hilarious, I thought. Well, a little compromise wasn't going to kill me. After all, we were headed to heaven on earth.

Hours later, at our beautiful home for the next 6 days, we toasted to our week of fun and togetherness. It was a solemn and memorable moment. In the days to follow, however, solemn and memorable were concepts of the past. Thoughts of papers, tests, and mainte- nance requests faded and occasionally so did my undying admiration and af- fection for these self-centered, selfish, immature. Geek-watching girls with whom I was spending my vacation.

In the end, however, when push came to shove (and it did), these were the people with whom I chose to party. I guess they're okay. After all— Life's a Beach! [%]

Dorm Room Diary

Notes on a Cubicle

By

Lucy Tatman

Dear Diary, 9/3 Well, it's the first day of school and I think I remembered all my stuff. At least it looks that way! You know, these dorm rooms look bigger in the catalogue than in real life. I hope my roommate gets here soon. Wonder what she'll be like? I guess it doesn't matter— Anything will be better than my sister. Oh diary, I can't believe I'm really free!!!! Dear Diary, 9/5

Things are going ok, but I was wrong, I am not free. There are all these really old, mature students called R.A.'s wan- dering around, checking on us every ten minutes. Really, I'm afraid to blow my nose too loudly — I swear they'll try to send me to the hospital. Other than that the rest of the girls on my hall are great, except my roommate. I wish I had my sister back. Or at least movable furniture. Oh well, bye. Dear Diary, 10/12

I know it's been a while, but I have been sooo busy. First of all, oh my God, my roommate!! Imagine if you will four Cabbage Patch dolls spread across a smurf bedspread, over which hang three posters and I have tried and tried to do something sooo awful she'll go home forever, but alas, to no avail. (Don't you love that last phrase, I learned it in English 102). Oh, can we talk bathrooms? I can understand stall

toilets and stall showers, but as you know I am NOT a gymnast and this shower nozzle at the collar bone bit has got to go. Maybe next year I'll get to live in Goodwin, with real bathtubs. What heaven. Check ya diary. Dear Diary 10/20

Somehow, how I do NOT know, she's gotten a boyfriend. And not only has he seen the collection of C.P. dolls, he apparently doesn't mind snuggling up with them— every night until thirty seconds until option is over. Gag! Yikes! Boy! This has got to stop. Oh! I didn't explain about option, did I? Well, it's this really stupid system for insuring the safety of our chastity or something like that. All the guys have to leave at a specific time or risk the loss of life and limb. Well, I have just enough time to get to the Tide before the Tuesday special ends. Ta ta!! Dear Diary 5/20

I can't beheve the year is almost over. I'm going to miss this extra-long bed that normal sheets don't fit on, I really am. Guess what? Next year, I'm going to have a really great roommate. This years failed out! Tee Hee! (I think it's because her boyfriend dumped her for another girl — you know even though he thinks Cabbage Patch dolls are alright, he's really a cutie!!! Tee Hee!) Well, gotta run, diary!! Gotta Date! Tee Hee Tee Hee. [v]

Our Window to the Outside World

Every Monday morning at 10:25 the pilgrimage begins. A glass-eyed line of scholars, who hunger for communi- cation with the outside world, flows through Snavely and up the stair unit finally reaching the entrance of the temple.

With a reverence, each student pro- ceeds to his special pew. Turn right to A. Back left to CD. Turn right to F. Open (after two unsuccessful tries). Reach in. Pull out! Chapel at 6:00 an- nouncement; red BMOC Calender; and Rocky's pizza coupons.

"I'm so sick of damn junk mail! Oh God, please make somebody out there write me," scream the unfortunates who have been forgotten again. But wait, maybe there is still hope.

An inquiry to postmaster, Charles Lesley, only confirms that the night- mare is true. "Yes, all the mail is out and you didn't get any." All that is left to do is search, in the trash can for oth-

er persons hometown newspapers and magazine subscription offers.

There is joy among the sad at the post office. Holiday cards and the im- portant care packages from home containing chocalate chip cookies, brownies, and banana bread are a sign that somebody out there remembers you.

The post office also serves as a meeting place. You bump into people you haven't seen all week and catch up on what's been going on around campus.

If you are standing close enough to Student Affairs, while reading your mail, chances are you'll be invited over to join in one of their famous popcorn breaks.

A Campus Favorite

The Old Gym

By

John Manser

Ranging from the most feminine dancer to the meanest looking weight hfter, the Old Gym runs the gamut on the types of students who walk through its double doors. Whether you want to take it easy and shoot a lit- tle pool or push your body to the max with game after gruehng game of three- on-three, the gym is a great way of re- leasing any tension that invariable ac- cumulates during the day to day life of a student.

Adding to the atmosphere of friendly competition and athletic endeavor is the extremely likable staff who make sure that the gym does not turn into a madhouse. They include Miss Lee, with her unforgettable personality, Bert, who is ever helpful, and Mike, the director/coordinator of all athletics on campus and also a darn nice guy. Any one of the four will greet you with a smile as you show them your ID and madly rush to the sport of your choos- ing.

The building houses a weight lifting facihty with everything from an incline bench press seat and a curling machine to a squat rack and dumbells. Three ping pong tables, and two billiard ta- bles populate the central ground level room along with the men's and wom- en's intramural bulletin boards that let all who walk in know the up to date re- port on all the fraternities, sororities, and independents. Hidden away in the back recesses of the first floor, an in- door heated pool complete with flota- tion devices, a lifeguard, and a diving

board have been assembled. Also, Nurse Cherry's office has been moved to this floor of the gym.

Moving up to the second floor of the gym, one finds the full length basket- ball court on which some of 'Southern's closest fought victories were witnessed before the building of Bill Battle. It is now the major hot spot for the develop- ing Dr. I's and Larry Birds here on campus. Six backboards surround the court allowing for any combination of games such as Horse or Hustle, for two or three people, to full court run-and- gun offense and man-to-man or zone defenses. It has also been used for baseball, soccer, and cheerleader prac- tice as well as the Fillies' try-outs (which I was happy to see).

Up one more flight of stairs, you'll find the dance studios outfitted with pi- anos, bars, and mirrors to help the stu- dents hone their craft. Two racquetball courts are also found here just ready for your singles or doubles enjoyment.

The Old Gym is also the hub of the intramurals department co-ordinated by Mike Robinson. Group contests such as volleyball and basketball use the fa- cility as well as more one-on-one sports like ping-pong, billiards, and racquetball.

The Old Gym is more than just an old building, it has become a good friend to many students who need the chance to get away from the rigors of school life and want to flex their phys- ical capabilities, p^

Jane Fonda Is Alive and Kicking

By

Cari Gisler & Jay McKinney

* * ^^ k! Let's get those legs up! Work ^^ that body! Make it burn baby!" Yes, Birmingham-Southern College has caught that fitness fever. A day doesn't pass that an excursion to the gym won't find you surrounded with the sounds and smells of the physically active. Women in leotards and tights, men in sweats and muscle shirts, all with the same goal of creating muscle tissue from flab. Leg lifts to Lauper and toe touches to Thompson Twins makes a strange hybrid of drudge and disco. Some actually seem to enjoy it, but most do not. However, they endure the rigorous workout because "pain is gain."

The drive for better bodies doesn't necessarily end at the gym. It continues on the academic quad, the dorm circle, and in the dorms themselves. Activities from jogging to frisbee allow the stu- dents to enjoy the fresh air (depending on WBRC's air quality' report). Occa- sionally a professor will even join in on the "fun". Professors and students can be seen running side by side, Walkmen clipped to their clothes, and the strains of Mozart and Dire Straits mingling in the air. The harmony is wonderful.

Of course we exercise! But at what cost. Inches melt away, but at a rate totally inversely proportional to the ever escaping paycheck. In today's so- cially oriented society (not B-SC of course) the proper aerobic apparel is a must. A few of the extremely naive contend that gym shorts and a T-shirt are sufficient. Excuse me! Pink Tofu! Never allow yourself to fall prey to this gastly misconception. To do so would be— oh so gauche. To not spend half of your savings account to achieve the proper style would be an unforgivable faux-pas.

A Danskin leotard with color coordi- nated tights are the basics, and will put

you well on your way to "proper aerobic/health fashion." Next, add a pair of les warmers (all cotton) ar- ranged precisely aroimd the ankles, matching head and wrist bands, not to forget a pair of leather Reeboks, and you're in the money for sure. If the simple fact of being vogue is not enough for you to whip out Daddy's "Gold Card, remember this. Once you achieve "the look" you can go straight from that grueling workout to a hopping night on the town. A side note to you fashion buffs is the growing acceptance of stirrup-pants, but do be careful not to wear out the look.

If you lack the proper build to achieve the look, you're over your credit limit, or if the State Grant checks are late again, don't write home to mummy & daddy yet. Who needs aerobics to keep in shape? Our dear alma mater who caters to our intellect has not failed to consider our physique as well. We have Munger, where any- one who has ever had an 8:00 class on the third floor knows the wall of pain personally. Also with our bodies in mind the elevators were designed to be, not slow but leisurely. Most of us can get at least 200% of the U.S. RDA of exercise by simply walking to our rooms high atop Goodwin or New Men's. Perhaps the best exercise we can get is the mad sprint from a 1:00 T, Th class to the 2:30 T,Th class. The four minute mile is easily broken when the wrath of Don Dixon is hanging over your head. I know!

Despite all we do for our bodies, about nine o'clock, the need for phys- ical excellence comes to a screeching halt. All of our aspiring Jane Fondas and Arnold Schwatzenaggers converge on the campus store for fries, chicken fingers and— oh yes — a jumbo Diet I Pepsi, g

The Charles Andrew Rush Learning Center (ahas the hbrary) is the nerve center of intellectual thought and scholarly work at Birmingham-South- ern College. Well at least its suppose to be.

The statistics are impressive though: 152,070 books, 8,250 microfilms, 842 journals, 2,693 recordings and cassettes.

Of course, all these valuable re- sources are protected by the infamous security bar. Anyone trying the sneak by without getting demagnetized first, will suffer the consequences, which are unknown, because nobody has ever lived to describe them. THE LIBRARY BASEMENT "Tales from the Dark Side"

Have you ever wondered why the bottom floor of the library is half the size of the other two floors.

Just what is on the other side of those government documents downstairs. Well, a peak through the door located by the atlases in the corner reveals a world of the past.

Few have dared to enter the "em- ployee's only" door and those who have are strangely silent about their ex- periences. However, word has it that it is in the library basement that you can find National Geographies from the 1930's (the "playboy" of our father's day), old 'Southern trophys for unknown honors, study desks and card catalogs from the old library when it was in Phillips Administration, and even a 1928 La Revue (later changed to the 'Southern Accent). Also located here are tons of records and books that haven't been processed yet.

What do we do with our new found knowledge? Nothing.

SUNDAY Student: The copier is out of long pa- per. Could you please give me some more. Work-study: Sure. Oh, I'm sorry. There isn't any more. They didn't put enough out for the weekend and the rest is locked up behind the cage. Student: I'll try again tomorrow.

MONDAY Student: How long has that person

been copying. Work-study: I don't know, he was here

when my shift began. Student: I'll try again tomorrow.

TUESDAY Student: How many more copies do

you have. Music professor: About 1 million. Student: I only have one copy. Music professor: That's nice. Student: I'll try again tomorrow.

WEDNESDAY Student: I can't believe the copier is

free. Where is the autotron. Work-study: (Smiling) Behind the desk. The music professor broke the copier. Student: I'll try again tomorrow.

THURSDAY Student: Is it fixed yet? Xerox repairman: Nope. Student: When will it be ready? Xerox repairman: Try again tomorrow.

FRIDAY Student: I see the copier is finally

working. Work-study: That's right, but its 4:46

and we're closed. Student: I'll trv again tomorrow. SATURDAY

Dorm Watchers

A Hunter's Guide

By

Kris Hull

Dorm watching . . . what is that, a hobby Hke bird watching or cloud watching or even the lesser known practice of bug watching? No, it's a paying, part-time career here on the hilltop. Nevertheless, dorm watching is a noteable phenomena worthy of study. In fact, I've rather made a hobby out of dorm watch-watching. My observations are as follows: The habitat

Dorm watchers are a strange species. They are all male; how that is possible I am not sure, but it may be a deter- mining factor in the dorm watchers equally odd habitat. They can only be found, usually seated although some- times reclining, in the entry ways of the female dorm. The behavior

Dorm watchers exhibit a number of behaviors. They can eat. They can smoke. They can watch T.V. They can even speculate on who is visiting whom in the female dorm and why upon exiting, his oxford shirt is buttoned in- correctly. The dorm watcher is wise. He protects the virtue of young ladies by ushering out moral dilemmas (gen- tleman callers) at the hour of indiscre- tion. (Funny, no dorm watchers inhabit Hanson.) The irregularity

Inspite of the good, which are the dorm watchers deeds, dorm watchers are irregular. They nest dutifully before Margaret Daniels and Virginia Goodwin, but they are most dutiful on weeknights. In fact I've yet to observe a dorm watcher perched on a Friday or Saturday. And another irregularity is that their shifts do not last into the wee hours, but only until about midnight. This is peculiar because I think that a dorm watcher would have a greater op- portunity to gnab rapists, boyfriends, burglars, and Sandinista terrorists after two most evenings. But stranger still is that these important watch guards of female virtue are unarmed. Yes, of course, one might hurl his color T.V. at a suspect or peg him with a stream of tobacco juice, but that's asking a lot from the call of duty.

No, my scientific opinion is that con- sidering the dangers and stresses of these nightly rituals, the typical dorm watcher is just too vulnerable, too easy a target to make it in the modern world. That's why I predict that these cute little fellas will soon be extinct, wiped off the face of the campus never to be seen again ... at least I hope so. Rifles loaded, ladies? Ready, aim, fire, fvl

Easy money. Chris Barker is a work study in Margaret-Daniels where he works hard to guard the honour of woman.

Ron Berry maximizes his time dorm watching by catciung-up on some over due homework.

The women's dorms on campus have nothing but the tightest se- curity. This sign is a warning to ali who think about taking their favorite shortcut to escape the wrath of an angry Resident Ad- visor.

Fringe benefits. Sophomore Ron Berry feeis that there is more to dorm watching than simply "guarding" the door. He makes it a point to greet the residents as they return home.

Rocky's to the Rescue

By

Eleanor Lowrance & Ted Strong

ONE COUPON PER PIZZA

:j

It's not the parties, or the people, or even Ms. Jimmy that keep B-SG stu- dents ahve — it's those Rocky's men and women who travel through rain, sleet, or snow, who battle the dangerous highways and byways of Birmingham to deliver thousands of sometimes deli- cious, circular Italian pies (called piz- zas],

Rocky's has been an asset to the B- SC curriculum for many long years. The ever-present doorknob coupons make the escape from Shamrock's grasp just that more attainable. These coupons give you from one to three dollars off any pizza or sandwich or two free drinks with any order. These few dollars saved can be combined to enhance your next visit to the "Tide" or "Touchdown." Also the late-night accessibihty of a Rocky's pizza make those "all-nighters" a party.

Hey, the quality of the pies is pretty good too. You can tell this by walking by any dorm hall's trash can and ob- serving the many familiar white and blue Rocky's boxes discarded there — and never with a lonely, cold piece left. It's even good for breakfast the next morning, and nutritious too!

Depending on the order, all of the food groups may be represented — even B- SC students need their "vegies." This makes Rocky's one of Mom's favorites too. One note of warning however, it has been experienced by many a fresh- men that too many pizzas can put an extra roll in your stomach or an extra dimple in your thigh.

All in all Rocky's is a saviour. Life on the Hilltop just would not be the same without those faithful delivery people and their trusty little cars topped with those electric signs. They bring thou- sand and thousands of pizzas that just seem to brighten up students' lives. Gloomy nights seem to be clear and ro- mantic, dirty laundry just disappears, that paper due in six hours — really doesn't seem to be that important anymore. With a Rocky's pizza at hand, you have the world at your feet!

Oh the luxury of those pies! Extra cheese, pepperoni, italian sausage, green peppers, black olives, mush- rooms, onions, and gosh — those ancho- vies get you every time. So if you are ever in need, just give Rocky's a call. They know how to fix you up — just fine. K\

The Masters Program

An Innovative Opportunity for Growtm

By

The 'Southern Accent staff and MPPM personnel

In 1982, Birmingham-Southern College began the Master of Arts in Public and Private Management program with an enrollment of 20 students. Since its incarnation, the MPPM program's stu- dent body has rapidly increased, re- porting 67 students in the Fall term of 1984. BSC's two-year program was modled after similar graduate programs at Stanford and Yale and was designed to meet the demands of modern management. The Masters program provides an opportunity for currently employed persons in mid-level or ex- ecutive level positions to keep up with the ever changing business world.

Candidates for the Masters degree program are highly motivated individ- uals who share a desire for challenge and a dedication to their field. The program allows students to obtain a de- gree within two years through a multi- disciplinary format involving business, economics, education, humanities, philosophy, political science, and psy- chology.

Students are required to participate in five general modules: Interdisciplin-

ary Module, Basic Disciplines Module, Cultural/Ethics Module, and Area of Concentration. All of these modules help in the preparation for advance- ment.

The Masters program has a distinguished faculty with a wide range of interests. Curriculum consists of seminars and lectures and innovative teaching techniques such as team projects and group work. Richard H. Collins, Senior Vice-President of SouthTrust Bank states that, "Although standards are high and courses chal- lenging, the instructors are a constant source of encouragement. The MPPM program has no equal in our local area." Consensus among the students in the program is that the diversity within the faculty and student body provides the program with a highly professional and academic foundation.

As well as emphasising the funda- mental managerial problems, the Masters program is dedicated to influ- encing the community on the whole. With time, the program should achieve this goal. [^

The Library Plaza is B-SC's so- cial central, not to mention the perfect place to "soak up some rays" between classes, but Emily Clark finds solitude in the shade on a hot sunny day.

Philip Bohannon

For most of us, life has been fairly well planned. Elementary school had Kickball and Orange-Aid. Junior High arrived with too much makeup, impossible parents, and puberty. Then High School brought us Driver's Ed, Algebra One, and more puberty. But all of it was, well, expected of us. Though we experienced some choice in select- ing a college, and some freedom in es- tablishing our lifestyle here, mostly we just drifted. Until now.

Being a senior is not a matter of credits, it's a matter of freedom. Soon, our lives will be entirely our responsi- bility; we won't even need our advi- sor's signature. This freedom has ap- peared in form of life-questions: Will I

have a job? Will I get into medical school? Do I want to stay in Alabama? The South? The USA? What sort of lifestyle will I choose? What sort of person will I become? Pretty scarry, huh? One consolation: puberty will be over soon.

Many scenes from 'Southern have become part of us: walking with concentration up from fraternity row; walking with fear and a blue book to class; waiting, famished, for a car with "Rooky's" on the roof to appear outside the dorm. These things we have shared, not to mention our troubles, fears, laughter, thoughts, and occasion- ally dates. Many people have been im- portant to us; giving proper credit to the

teachers and friends who have shaped our lives would require an NBC mini- series, minimum. In fact, I've often felt that lives here intersect like a campus- wide square dance: "Swing your partner, round you go, now pass her on, doe-si-doe!"

So girls and boys — er, excuse me — women and men, off we go into that rather large thing known as Ameri- can Society. And, taking our place as Yuppies, we will do our best to consume everything we can possibly afford. Or perhaps, using our brand- new liberal arts education, we can be- come successful in a different way. How? Well now, that's up to us, isn't it?

See y'all on Alumni Day. [\]

Why Labs?

They're Required!

By

Joanie Stiff

*< Isn't lab fun?!" After four years I here at BSC, each of us has the joy of experiencing a lab of some kind. The real excitement is that courses labeled as lab sciences seem to abound here. The choices are fun as well.

Biology labs give you the chance to look at Paramecium under a microscope only to be reminded of the squiggly things on the Saniflush commercial. They also give you the chance to disect FeJix domestica; only to realize too late that the puss your slicing up looks just hke your grand- mother's cat.

If Biology doesn't seem to be your fa- vorite, maybe Astronomy can help that G.P.A. Dr. Boardman will get out the trusty telescope and let you see the moon (while a plane flies into view.) Then you can sit in the planatarium and stare at the stars and maybe (just maybe) figure out where the North Star and the big dipper really are. psl

The library can be an entertain- ing study niche for those who dare to try it.

Books, books, books! All we see around here is books! The average class has approximately two books and at least one of them is inevitably a hardback one. The money we sink into our books is incredible!

The time we spend reading them is even more unrealistic. With a full class load (not to mention labs) we are reading somewhere from 120-150 pages of primary text material a day. Then we must move to the Charles Andrew Rush Learning Center so that we can read the secondary materials on

reserve. As it stands, we have little enough time to read our assignments, let alone comprehend them. pZ]

Study Breaks?

Time Management 101

By

Michelle McFarland

Oh come now. Don't play dumb with me. You know what study breaks are. They're an institution ... a way of life for B-SC students. They're what you do all day until you can find nothing better to do, until you finally resort to studying.

Study breaks can take the form of any number of activities from the mundane to the daring. They can be anything from making a sandwich, tak- ing a walk, listening to music, doing your laundry, getting married and start- ing a family, to building a corporate

empire. It is amazing what one can do between classes and studying.

Of course there are those wierdos that actually study non-stop and make good grades. But for the most part B-SC students take twelve hours of consecu- tive study breaks per day and still come up with a 3.0 each semester.

Study Breaks are not to be taken lightly, mind you. After all, they constitute the bulk of the normal stu- dents' day. Maybe that's why we make them as creative and worthwhile as possible! [\]

Taking time out of homecoming week to help fellow students help oth- ers and having a good time doing it is an example of the sense of humor and spirit of giving that characterize this team. This sense of humor comes through on the court as well as adding to the fun of attending a game.

The spirit of giving and the responsi- bility shown by BSC basketball players is reflected in their accomplishments off the court. In times of continuing trouble and scandal in college athletics, Southern has a program that produces

athletes that are interested in an education.

Dollars and Quarters

By

Cari Gisler

For a student, the decision to have a phone installed in the dorm room is a grave one. The luxury of having a private telephone must be weighed against the inconveniance of the instal- lation fee (which can run approximat- ely $60). Add on the friendly monthly phone bill ranging from $40 to as high as $150, and the 25$ per call on a pay phone gets less and less annoying.

There are other factors that may in- fluence the selection. Students must take into consideration that 2:00 a.m. knock on the door from the jerk down the hall who can't find a quarter and was wondering if (you wouldn't mind if I borrowed your phone". However, if you are one of the precious few that opted not to go for the private phone, you must deal with the 50 yard dash down the hall towards an incessantly ringing telephone only to hear a dial tone . . . what fun.

Adult Studies

By

Vicki VanValkenburgh

An important_part of the academic life here at Birmingham Southern College is the Division of Adult Stud- ies. Now entering its tenth year, the Di- vision has grown to include over 350 students who have four majors to choose from— Business Administration, Economics, Accounting, and Early Childhood and Elementary Education. One reason for the strength of the Division of Adult Studies is the dedica- tion of its staff. Headed by Dr. Jeff Norrell, the staff works actively to recruit students and encourage them in their return to the classroom. Prospec- tive student receive telephone calls and invitations to open houses as well as mailings about the program. Then, once in the program, students may obtain coimseling whenever they need it from the staff.

For many prospective students, the idea of returning to the classroom after years away from the academics scene is a little frightening, so the Divison has reponded with its own kind of Fresh- man Seminar. Students get back into the old routine of taking notes, writing papers and other such features of aca- demic life.

In the same vein as this Freshman Seminar program is the Wednesday College program of the Adult Studies Division. It is designed for women who want to go back to school a step at a time. They attend a two and a half hour class on Wednesday morning or afternoon and earn credit in regular BSC courses.

Such programs as these as well as competent staff show that adult studies stands on its own as a strong and sepa- rate division.

This is also visible in the fact that

adult studies has its own orientation programs, newsletters, parties, and even its own seat on the SGA as well as numerous adult-oriented services offered by the college.

Even so, a strong emphasis lies on the fact that adult studies is academi- cally identical to the day program. For instance, admission requirements are the same, with a few small exceptions for those who have been out for longer periods of time. In addition class re- quirements are the same in both divi- sions for graduation and for the various

majors. It is important to the staff, the students, and the college that the quality of education is uniform, since many adult students choose to come to BSC because of its excellent reputation.

To also keep the level of progress identical to the day program the aca- demic calendar of the Division of Adult Services is broken up into four semes- ters, with a full load being 2 units. Therefore, if they attend classes year- round, students receive eight units of credit, just as the day student would.

fers its staff is tuition remission for 1 unit each term, an opportunity many BSC employees take advantage of. One members of the financial aid staff, Suzanne Bush, has begun to work to- ward a degree in the adult studies program "I am so glad to have this op- portunity," she says. "Everybody is so eager to learn — they give 100% all the time. It's hard work, but it will be worth it in the long run." Joanne Min- er, another BSC staff member, also

finds this program a wonderful oppor- tunity, and enjoys her classes. "The adult students are doing this because they want to. Everyone is eager to learn."

These are ambitious students who re- turn to the classroom, often while also upholding work, family, and communi- ty responsibilities. They are special people who add something special to Birmingham Southern College. [^

WhaVo the next move?

Moments after lift-off, the Challenger exploded. The ex- plosion was the first in-fJight di- saster in 56 U.S. manned space missions. Tfie two spirals of smoke in the photograph are the shuttie's rocliet boosters. NASA officials originally believed that the boosters were the cause of the explosion, but now they are

When the team was assigned to de- sign and build the Apollo 11 the first manned spacecraft to the moon, thousands of ordinary men and wom- en— project managers, secretaries, tech- nicians— suddenly became super- achievers who were doing the best work of their lives. The manager of that team, after it had gone from the bottom 50% in productivity to the top 15%, once pointed to the moon and told his assistant, "The reason we're doing so well is that people have been dreaming about going there for thousands of years, and we're going to do it."

On January 8 of this year, the dream of mankind on the moon and space flight in general was tested as seven members of the Shuttle Challenger died moments after it took off. Those seven astronauts dreamt of going into space, and they died fulfilling the same dream that had inspired the members of the first Apollo team. After Neil Armstrong took man's first step on the moon, and after the first U.S. shuttle, Columbia, made its orbital test flight, the dream to be in space never died or became less intense. It is unsure now whether or not that dream will fade after a disaster such as the Challenger.

Recently NASA and America's space program have come under heavy fire for the Challenger tragedy and three successive missile failures. Hopefully the intensity and drive for space flight will not fade as a result. Columbia's triumphant reentry and return five years ago marked the beginning of a new era for the United States in the space age. As astronaut Robert Crippen, upon emerging from Colum- bia, put it, the U.S. was "back in the space business to stay."

In the wake of the Challenger

tragedy, people mourned the death of the astronauts and were shocked out of the idea the space program was infallible. The space program has, admittedly, stubbed its toe— and fell flat on its face. But President Reagan told the nation exactly right, "Nothing ends here."

Whatever the causes of the Challenger disaster and NASA's re- peated failures of late, one conclusion is clear. The U.S., for whatever reasons, cannot pull back from space. We can't afford to be gun-shy.

We get back up, remember those who gave their lives for the sake of their dream — the nation's dream — and we begin again. Nothing ends here

A truck bomb exploded in front of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut on April 18, 1983; 17 Americans were killed. On October 3, of the same year, 241 U.S. servicemen were killed when a truck bomb exploded at the U.S. Ma- rine headquarters in Beirut.

An Italian cruise liner, the Achille Lauro, was hijacked on October 7, 1985 by four Palestinian terrorists; one American passenger was killed.

On December 27, 1985, 20 people, in- cluding 5 Americans, were killed when terrorists attacked the airports at Rome and Vienna.

On April 5, 1986, a bomb exploded in a crowded West Berlin discotheque frequented by American servicemen. Two people, one an American soldier, were killed. Another 155 people were injured.

These and other incidents illustrate the rising amounts of violence and ter- rorism prevalent in our world today. Recently, the focus of international ter- rorism has been centered on Libya's Moammar Khadafy, and his role in fos- tering these events.

In an effort to curb these acts of vio- lence. President Reagan imposed eco- nomic sanctions against Libya, an act that many other countries did not fol- low. On January 7, 1986, President Reagan ordered all Americans to leave Libya, and severed the remaining eco- nomic ties between the U.S. and Libya. At the same time, he ordered U.S. air- craft carrier groups into the Mediterranean, off the coast of Libya.

Monday, April 15, 1986, the United States conducted a bombing raid on the Libyan capital of Tripoli, as well as other Libyan targets. President Reagan, in a speech informing the American public of the raid, cited proof of Libya's involvement in current world terror- ism.

The American raid on Libya has been a very controversial subject, perhaps the most controversial of the President's two terms of office. Emo- tions have ranged from pride to sadness to fear. Americans seem proud that we are not standing idly by while groups of fanatics hold the world hostage; we feel sad at the deaths of in- nocent people, both through terrorist acts and retaliatory raids; we are afraid of entering another Viet Nam type war and increased terrorism as a retaliatory measure.

Perhaps, in a sense, international politics has entered a new phase, where power is wielded by those that can induce people to kill innocent bystanders in an attempt to pressure the older style of international rela- tions; that of war.

President Reagan and Soviet Jeader MiJihail Gorbachev taJked in front of a fireplace at FJeur D'Eau in November. Rela- tions between the two are now strained.

On March 11, 1985, the Central Committee of the Commimist Par- ty announced Mikhail Gorbachev as the new General Secretary of the Sovi- et Union. His promotion marked the beginning of Soviet leadership by the "New Generation." Gorbachev and the new generation gave most Westerners the initial impression of the Soviet Union backing away from paranoia and absurd claims that have kept it iso- lated for at least six decades. But many Soviet experts are now questioning the actual impact this new generation is having on Soviet policy.

Despite the times of tension between the United States and Soviet Union, with Reagan deeming the Soviet Union as the "Evil Empire" and Gorbachev eager to compete for the favor of the

allies of the U.S., the two leaders were able to come together in November, 1985, for a series of fireside chats to discuss future relations between the two powers. Both sides have agreed to encourage cultural and student ex- changes. For the first time in many years, Soviet Aeroflot planes are allowed to land in U.S. airports and American music, dance, and drama groups are touring throughout the USSR while their Soviet counterparts are performing in cities across the U.S. Relations seem to be improving between the countries, however problematical accounts of secrecy and misunderstanding continue to be evidenced among the two super-pow- ers.

The most recent and widely exper- ienced example of secrecy occurred as a result of the April 26 Chernobyl acci- dent. Just 80 miles away from Kiev, the third largest city in the Soviet Union, Unit No. 4, one of Chernobyl's nuclear power plant reactors, caught fire and exploded causing one of the worst nuclear disasters in history. It was not until 18 days after the accident that Gorbachev disclosed the news to the rest of the world. This secretive behav- ior about something affecting many others than just the Soviets incensed leaders and citizens alike throughout the world.

According to the Soviet officials, a sudden surge of power in the plant was followed by a devastating hydrogen blast which caused a fire in one of the reactors, leading to the release of a cloud of radiation. It was this cloud that sparked international fear and revived anti-nuclear movements across the globe. Many believe that Chernobyl is a clear indicator of the secrecy and misrepresentation which can be expected from the Soviets and

can only fear what would result in the event of a nuclear weapon accident.

Added to the political fallout of Chernobyl was President Reagan's an- nouncement on June 3, 1986, that the United States would continue to com- ply with the SALT II treaty for the mo- ment by dismantling two Poseidon missile firing submarines to make way for a newly launched Trident Sub, but it would also continue equipping B-52 bombers with cruise missiles at a rate that will break the limits of SALT II by December. This main shift in U.S. poli- cy was made in response, as Reagan's officials have said, to a pattern of treaty violations by the Soviets. Most U.S. al- lies disapprove of this new policy, es- pecially those of Western Europe. The Reagan Administration has expressed that it is no longer a relevant factor whether the U.S. is technically in compliance with SALT or not. From now on, U.S. security requirements will be the only concern. The U.S. will de- cide its arms policy on Soviet behavior, including human rights violations and actions in Afghanistan, Nicaragua, and Cambodia. Ironically, the second Gene- va summit between Reagan and Gorbachev has been proposed for December.

This has been a bad year for most people around the world. We in America are fortunate that we have not experienced the devastation of multiple earthquakes, volcanic eruptions in pop- ulated areas, or mudslides. These events have had major impacts on oth- er countries in the last two years.

Mexico City suffered a quake regis- tering 7.8 on the Richter scale last Sep- tember. On top of Mexico's better than 50% unemployment and its spiraling inflation, the disaster has proportions that still have not been assessed.

The town of Mameyes, in Puerto Rico, was buried under mud in a mudslide that came after three days of rain. After the slide, the mud turned so hard that rescue workers could not dig out the bodies.

Another mudflow buried a town in Colombia. The town of Armero was buried as a result of an eruption of the volcano Nevado de Ruiz. Almost the entire town of 25,000 lost their lives.

America has not been without its di- sasters, however. A Lockheed L-1011 crashed at the Dallas airport, due to wind-shear. The crash happened dur- ing a severe thunderstorm, killing more than 130 people.

Another major accident in the U.S. was the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. This event, coupled with explosions of some of NASA's un- manned backup rockets, has effectively halted America's space program tempo- rarily.

One of the worst disasters to happen this year, the worst accident in the nuclear industry, was the partial melt down of a Soviet reactor at Chernobyl. The accident spilled radioactivity into the air and across international borders, causing some people, for the first time, to realize the danger that can be associated with nuclear industry, es-

pecially the long lasting effects of radioactivity and its complete disregard for nationality.

The nuclear industry is not the only high-tech industry to have problems. More than 2000 people were killed, and over 10,000 were injured when a Union Carbide chemical storage tank blew up in Bhopal, India. The explo- sion released a cloud of lethally toxic methyl-isocyante over the shanty-town surrounding the chemical plant, and spread to the city proper.

The chemical industry has been plagued recently with problems that have been in the making for more than 30 years. Hazardous chemical waste dump sites are being found with increasing regularity. Love Canal is such a situation, but by no means the only one. The nuclear industry is facing a similiar problem with contaminated waste and spent fuel, which can re- main dangerous to humans for tens of thousands of years.

These problems produced by our technologically increased society can lead to disasters of a much greater magnitude than natural disasters, due to their comparably longer range of effects on the environment. [\]

Halley's comet was indeed visible in AJabama. This piclure was taJten in North SiieJby County on March 17.

« *\A/here the hell is it?"

YY 'I don't know. Oh! Is that it?" "No you fool That's the red light on the Channel 13 Tower," "Go ask that guy over there." "Which one?"

"The one with the 6 foot telescope." "Oh, you mean the one looking in the opposite direction that we are?" "Yes, that's the one." "Oh, Okay."

"Well, what did he say?" "He said that Larry Nobles said it was supposed to be next to the constellation Centarus."

"Well where the hell is that?" "I guess next to the comet."

So go the scientific observations of two faithful followers of Halley's Com- et. They were a small part of the uni- versal many who readied themselves for the arrival of Halley. The latest in- formation on the comet was gathered by subscribing to Science and Sky and Telescope magazines and by watching "Star Hustler" weeknights at 11:00 p.m. on PBS.

Just about everybody tried at least once to spot the comet — to get a view of that marvelous tail streaking across the heavens. Beginning in November the comet grew from a small fuzz ball until its height at its closest point to Earth on April 6, when it appeared as a giant fuzz ball only a mere 39 million miles away.

Of course the view from the city wasn't that great for viewing a fuzz ball. The lights and pollution blocked out just about anything celestial. An exodus to the country was needed. The best place to view the comet was at roadside park on 280 past Lloyd's restaurant in Shelby county. On an average night there were about 100 people looking for the dot in the sky. There were families with crying babies;

left-over hippies playing "Aquarius" on harmonicas; and many "professional" junior astronomers who moaned when a carlight obstructed their vision. On that early magical morning of April 6th, about 1000 people showed up.

At 'Southern, comet pools were formed to take people to see Halley. The planetarium was jumpin' with standing programs on the comet. Dr. Boardman had a constant smile on his face for six months.

The comet may not have turned out as promising as advertised. The tail, if there ever was one may have been a little too short, and those reports of "you can see it with the naked eye" may have been slightly misleading, but Halley's comet was still the event of a lifetime.

All those kids who found Halley Telescopes under the tree on Christmas morning can pull them back out in 2062, when comet Halley returns.

On September 31, 1986, an event took place that affected the entire college-age population across the U.S. This certain event placed a pronounced limit upon leisure-time activities; in ad- dition, it caused and is still causing this age group undue stress due not only to the limit mentioned above also due to the frustrating search for new socially, politically, and legally acceptable activ- ities. The event to which reference is being made concerns the raising of the national drinking age from 19 to 21 years old.

So, at the age of 19, a young man can drive a car, vote, get marled, be drafted, and is legally considered an adult. The logical assumption follows that this responsibility extends to alcohol consumption; however, this is no longer true!

In the under 35 crowd, the general attitude is "let's get wasted" not "shall we have a cocktail this evening." In the South, the traditional Southerners totally detest the thought of poisoning the mind and body with alcohol while they sit back on their plantation porches sipping mint juleps or mimosas. The rednecks are rather "gung-ho" when it comes to finishing that bottle of Jack Daniels. But the new law doesn't effect the mint juleps or the Jack Daniels because mint juleps are for sophisticates and Jack can be gotten by just about anyone. The real effect will be felt by the new "under age" college crowd. By the time the class of '89 graduates from college, very few le- gal drinkers will be on campus. The image painted by movies such as Ani- mal House, depict the typical college student as a commode-hugging drunk. College students really do not fall into this stereotype (at least not all the dme). By 1989, what are college students going to drink? Kool-aid? "Hey, Kool-

aid is the one for kids!" is not exactly what we had in mind. The future doctors and lawyers of the 1990's will have to look up the word "hangover" in Webster's Dictionary in order to know what it is. When these students are es- tablished, they will probably come home and ask their husband or wife, "honey, can you mix me a strong pitcher of grape juice — I have had a bad day."

Times have changed. Right now the college student is caught in a transition- al period between the mint julep of the past and the Kool-aid of the future. How are they going to cope? With the raising of the drinking age, could the government be causing excessive psychological problems in the "guiding lights" of our future? That question remains to be answered. FvTl

On Thursday, March 13, 1986, Quest II sponsored the first ever Gubernatorial Forum at Birmingham- Southern College. It is hoped that the forum will become a regular event. All five of the major candidates were re- presented including frontrunning Lt. Governor Bill Baxley; Billy Joe Camp, Governor Wallace's press secretary since 1971; Attorney General Charlie Graddick; and former Lt. Governor George McMillan. The fifth candidate, former Governor Fob James, could not attend the forum but was represented by Don Bryant.

Before the forum got off the ground, there was much discussion about how the discussion should be structured. Al- though the original idea for the forum suggested a less formal meeting between the candidates and students, the final product was not only formal, but also very much a media event. Not only was the event well covered by lo- cal print and electronic media, but rather than having any questions come from students, 3 TV newspersons — Re- nee Kemp, Scott Richards, and Norman Lumpkin — directed questions to the candidates. Each panelist asked the same question 5 times, once to each candidate. Three minutes were allowed for response. Natalie Davis served as monitor of the discussion.

The quality of the discourse was very much limited by this formal structure. Because no debate between candidates and students was permitted, responses often became little more than the ver- balizing of political positions that they had already stated. Because of struc- ture, the forum lacked useful political discussion.

In defense of the forum's structure. Trey Granger, Quest II coordinator, said in the Hilltop News, "There was no way to allow students to ask ques-

tions." According to Granger, efficiency dictated the forum. According to the same article, Dean Penfield suggested that opening the discussion to students would have been a productive move. He said, "We should have gone around the panel and opened it up for the stu- dents—that would have been fun."

However, for the students who at- tended, the first Gubernatorial Forum provided a unique opportunity to famil- iarize themselves with the candidates' platforms, to compare their positions and personalities, and to gather infor- mation with which to cast a more in- formed vote. The fact that the forum took place at all is an accomplishment that all involved should be proud of.Kl

Chicago Bears' Jim McMahon and kicker Kevin Butler on the sideiines of the Super Bowl XX against the New England Patri- ots.

In the world of sports, the Kansas City Royals, the Chicago Bears and the Boston Celtics were the teams to watch and try to beat. Each team won the championship in their respective fields. The school year started with the baseball playoffs. St. Louis and Kansas City won the right to compete in the World Series. Kansas City got off on a slow start by losing three of the first four games. No team had ever come back and won the World Series after being down three games to one. But Kansas City became the first. Behind strong pitching and clutch hitting, the Royals defeated St. Louis three straight games to win the series 4-3.

The most outstanding individual achievement of the year was Pete Rose becoming the All-Time leading hitter. He passed Ty Cobb's record of over 4000 hits. He also became the Cincinatti Reds' player-manager. Un- der his supervision, the Reds improved from fifth to second in their division.

In football, the Chicago Bears were the team to watch. The Bears not only won the Super Bowl, but they complet- ed the regular season with only one loss. They will go down in history as one of the greatest teams ever.

The stars for the Bears were Walter Payton, Jim McMahon (famous for his

notorious headbands), and William "the Refrigerator" Perry. Peyton showed why he is the leading rusher in NFL history with another 1000 yard season. McMahon drew laughs from everyone with his crazy headbands. After being fined for wearing a head- band with an endorsement, he proceeded to wear a headband with commissioner Pete Rozelle's name on it. In the Super Bowl he wore head- bands for charitable causes drawing applause from his fans. William Perry became a star when Chicago made him the first 300 pound running back. Al- though he was used only in short yardage situations, he won the hearts of everyone.

The 85-86 basketball season was a record year for the Boston Celtics. They only lost one home game while winning over 80 games for the year. They defeated the Houston Rockets four games to one in the championship series. They were led by Larry Bird who won his third straight MVP award and led his team in scoring. The Celtics now have 17 championships which is more than any other team.

On the whole, sports enthusiasts will concur that the 1985-86 year in sports held as much drama, humor, and excitement as anyone could hope for.

Editor's Notes

few words about this past y«iir nr« in onlnr Wo hnvn k worked very hard for nint; monlhn undor sometimes adverse conditions. Stuff chnnfjns. the extremn luck of stuff, and occasionitt apathy made working on the hook difficult at times, but in the end, we wore excited at each new idea.

On a lighter side, this year's decision to move to a co- editorship (as op|H>sed to an editor/assistant editor arrange- ment) could not have worked better. Despite |ay's near fa- natical need to clean, make lists, and organize everything, we worked quite well together. Delween the two of us, I believe that we have succeeded in giving Hirmingham Southern a very artistic and entertaining yearbook.

Sincerely.

Editor's Notes

This your has ham int«!n«8tinK to wiy tho hiast. Thwre is no r1(,iit)(: ',-i<; wf>rk:<ul iintUir adverse conditions, hut [ hope in ji /.; ,Kj as pleased as we ur« with the final product.

i: tliiuk w<; all a^jnie that [mmA yearhooks have h)ft a lot to !,,; J-; sii<;(l, Wc Slit out this yeaF to change all of that. It was a !,( ^i , ;: n:!, 22 .situation, you see. The hook hasn't heen / I / I, ,1, '. the funds were continually cut. It is impos-sible (,, 1, 1 ,;.,i,il y(!ai:l)ook without the necessiiry funds and the right attitude. Well, thanks to a few of our friends on the SOA we managed to get the money. As for the attitude, I guess that is for each of you to a.ssess.

You will notice right-off that the l)ook is different from past hooks. We have tried to create a yearbmik that B8C can finally he proud to display. We have tried to predict the fu- ture by covering only those events which (xissessed the importance to withstand the test of lime. 1 think we have a(;hieved our purjxise and ho(>e you will agree.

I would like to express a special thanks to each of you who made this Southern Accent iKissible. Use this hook for the purpose intended. Times change, people change, and memories fade away, but with this yearbook you can prove to your friends that "You went to one of the Nation's Best!"

Mave a great life!

lav E. McKinney
