Hello,
If you are reading this, then 1.) the yearbook has been completed, pubhshed, and dis- tributed or 2.) someone has managed to steal this letter unbeknownst to me. In the case of the former rather than the latter, the publication of this book represents all of my hopes and dreams coming to fruition. Wait. It would be incredibly selfish of me to take all of the credit for this. First of all, I would like to take the time to show my unbounded appreciation for my staff for, without their creative energy and countless work hours, this book would continue to be the punchline to a joke that was never really that funny. Victoria Payne, Bissell McWil- iiams, Lorna Burrows, and Amir Ghalehgol deserve as much gratitude as I for their dedica- tion to this great endeavor. I, of course, cannot forget to thank our advisor, Natalie Dietz, who served as Yamacraw errand girl, and Dean Doyle for being committed to making this a real ity.
This is not just a book with pictures in it. This is a reflection of who we are and the place we have chosen to be the destination for intellectual, social, and spiritual (yes spiritual) growth. Without this serving as a record of where we were and a guide to where we are go- ing, we are bound to make unnecessary and possibly damaging errors. This is a testament to faith. The belief that you can achieve the seemingly impossible as long as you maintain your focus.
Initially, when I agreed to take on the job of Yamacraw Editor-in-Chief and "Revival- ist", I thought it would be a fitting and final gift to my peers and the University who both have went far too long without a yearbook. I felt it would be the one thing I would be remem- bered for. I realize now that the latter was not as admirable. Memories, legacies are created everyday. No 'book' will secure your place in the hearts and minds of those who encounter you on your journey through life.
If you take anything from my 'self-righteous' and 'indulgent' rambling, please take this: Never give up. Don't ignore that little voice ii^idf^ou that keeps urging you toward what's right, what's true. Believe in yourseH". Dor^'t be afraid to go against the tide because, at the end of the day, ail you liave, on this mortal coil, iS yourself. There are so many things tliat I w ant to. need to say to so many of you touched my life over the past 4 years. I pray know deep inside what they are, So, without any further pomp and circumstance, ladies ari yenilemen, I am proud to present to you the Yamacraw.

Jt/pcated in the heart of the posh Brookhaven community is Oglethorpe University. It stands with its neo-gothic architecture, lording over the neighborhood, constantly serving as a reminder of the importance of education and the arts. Little is known about this intellectual fortress... until now. Hidden beneath the walls of this fair campus lies stories of times past and a legacy richer^ than any large dollar amount.
4 Campus Life
The legacy of Oglethorpe University stems back to the 18th century at its previous location in Midway, Georgia.The raison d'etre of old Oglethorpe is to found in the determination of Georgia Presbyterians to establish in the state an institution for the training of ministers. Chartered on December 21, 1835, the University commenced actual operations on January 1, 1838, at Midway, a small village near Milledgeville. At the time there w^gg^a^gut 125 students and 6 faculty members.
Campus Life f
The school's cumculum consisted principally of courses dealing with Greek, Latin, classical literature, theology, and a surprising variety of the natural sciences. Admission requirements were geared to the cuniculai- structure; thus, one seeking to enter Oglethorpe as a freshman was required to exhibit before a faculty committee a reasonable command of Caesar's Commentaries, Cicero's Orations, the works of Virgil, the Gospels of the Greek Testament, Latin and Greek granamar, arithmetic, and geography.
Among the most distinguished of the faculty during this early era were such men as Nathaniel Crawford, professor of mathematics and astronomy and son of the famous William Crawford, and Joseph LeConte, destined to world fame for his work in the field of science; and James Woodrow, an uncle of Woodrow Wilson and the first teacher in Georgia to hold the Ph.D. Her best known alumnus was the poet Sidney Lanier. Prior to 1860, the Bachelor of Arts was the only earned degree conferred by the institution; but there early developed the practice of awarding a second degree, the Master of Arts to any alumnus of three years'
standing who was "of good moral character and who could show that he was engaged in some industrial or professional pursuit.
By the close of the 1850s, thanks largely to the able leadership of President Talmage, the institution had
reached a new plateau of financial solidarity and academic soundness; but both were soon shattered by the outbreak of the Civil War. Although student enrollment at the beginning of the term in October of 1860 was as large as that of the preceding year, by the following fall, it had fallen sharply as students (as well as some faculty) departed to serve in the Confederate forces.
The collapse of the Confederacy delivered a heavy blow to the school, since her endowment by 1 865 had come to consist largely of Confederate notes and bonds.
At that time, the trustees concluded that further efforts towards
restoring the vigor of the school, in its present location, were hopeless; they resolved, therefore, to transfer the University to Atlanta, partly because that city had recently replace4 Milledgeville as the state capital, ^ partly because economic conditions there appeared to be more favorable. At the same time, the determined to convert the institution into a real university through the addition of new schools and departments.
With a faculty of five professors in the college, six instructors in the law department, and three teachers in the University high school, the new Oglethorpe opened its doors on October 4, 1870, under the presidency of Dr. David Wills, a prominent Presbyterian minister. Its j location was the site now occupied | by the Atlanta City Hall. But the |
move failed to bring the anticipated I success. Largely because of the sever^ economic dislocations following in l the wake of the war, Oglethorpe foundJ herself faced with the bankruptcy by the fall of 1872. Thereupon, the Syno^ of Georgia directed that operations be^ permanently discontinued. With that event, seemingly, the institution had reached the end of its existence. -^
The ensuing chapter in her \ histoi7 is synonymous with the name , of Thomwell Jacobs, who had first \ come to Atlanta in 1909 to serve as |
executive secretary in a campaign to raise $150,000 for Agnes Scott College. By 1912, his thinking had crystallized into a determination to reestablish Oglethorpe. His first appeal for support was to the Presbyterian Minister's Association of Atlanta; his next step was to visit 101 Presbyterian churches in the east, from each of which he secured a contribution of one thousand dollars or more toward the restoration of the school as a Presbyterian institution. Appropriately enough, the first Presbyterian congregation visited had been that at Milledgeville. In all, more than half a million dollars were given or subscribed toward the goal, about half of the sum coming from individuals and groups in the city of Atlanta itself. In such a manner did Oglethorpe re-arise. Chartered on May 8, 1913, the University had its physical regeneration with the laying of the cornerstone of the first building (the present Phoebe Hearst) on January 21, 1915, in the presence of some of the alumni of 1860 and 1861. On the same day, the board of directors formally named Jacobs to the presidency.
In the following year, the leaders of the new enterprise offered it, "Lock, stock, and barrel", in the words of Dr. Jacobs, to the General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church, but for reasons not entirely clear, the offer was rejected. The new school, therefore, never maintained any formal relationship with the Presbyterian Church.
Jacobs envisioned Oglethoipe as a "living memorial" to James Oglethorpe and many of the landmarks and symbols of Oglethorpe University resulted from this drive to honor the founder of Georgia. The Gothic revival architecture was inspired by James Oglethorpe's honorary alma mater, Corpus Christi
College, Oxford. The university's coat-of-arms, which included three boar's heads and the inscription Nescit Cedere ('He does not know how to give up), was based on the Oglethorpe family seal.
Throughout the 1920s, the in stitution received extensive contribu- tions from several individuals. Most prominent of them were: J.T. Lupton of Chattanooga, whose gifts ultimately totaled about a million and a quarter dollars (Lupton Hall, built with his gifts, was opened in 1927); Mrs. Robert J. Lowry, whose contributions were about $200,000 (Lowry Hall, built with money she con- tributed, was constructed in 1927); Harry P. Hermance, who contributed $5,000 a year between 1919 and 1929 toward the construction of Hermance Stadium; and William R. Hearst, who gave in all about a quar- ter of a million dollars (including the money for the purchase of the pres- ent Lake Phoebe and its surrounding area).
By 1929, the situation, as summarized by Dr. Jacobs, was this: the University had one building valued at $425,000, another at $375,000, still another at $200,000, a stadium worth $100,000, and a campus of 600 acres worth $600,000, giving a total asset value
of $1,850,000. Against this stood obligations amounting to $450,000, leaving net assets of $1,400,000. At about the same time, the student enrollment stood at approximately three hundred, the size of the faculty and staff at forty.
By 1933, however, the general stability had been shattered by the
impact of the Great Depression. Enrollment fell, income dropped, and debts rose sharply. Total indebtedness rose to well over half a million dollars and on one crucial occasion only the time intervention of Bernard Baruch saved the institution from foreclosure of a mortgage of about $240,000. The returning prosperity of the mid- 1930s brought with it a gradual restoration of stability in the affairs of Oglethorpe. The unflagging zeal of Dr. Jacobs and the untiring labor of Judge Edgar Watkins, who for many years was the president of
the board of trustees and chairman of its executive committee, were of vital importance in the restoration.
Whatever the final judgment of Dr. Jacobs' presidency, few wiE deny that in the area of public rela- tions he had the touch of genius. During his tenure, he launched sev- eral projects that brought national and even international repute to the school. One of these was his abortive effort to bring from England and Georgia the remains of James Oglethorpe. Another en- deavor that attracted widespread attention was the establishment in 1931 of a campus radio sta- tion, WJTL, as an educational facility for the offering of credit- carrying courses, a program that lasted for3 years. Perhaps the best known of all was the effort to pre- serve for posterity a cross-view of twentieth century life through the constraction of a Crypt of Civiliza- tion; by the time the door of the Crypt was closed in 1940, the story had become known thi'oughout the widtli and breadth of the land.
Philip Weltner, known for his work as an attorney and educator, began a new era at Oglethorpe
University in 1944. He and a group of faculty developed a new approach to undergraduate education called the "Oglethorpe Idea." This was one of the first efforts at creating a core curriculum and its aim was to "make a life and to make a living." The core included courses in "Citizenship" and "Human Understanding" as a part of a common learning experience for Oglethoipe students.
The growth of Oglethorpe University continued in the 1960s with a facilities expansion program. In the 1980s Oglethorpe was classified in the category Liberal Arts I by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Oglethorpe is now a member of the Annapolis Group, a collection of the 100 most selective liberal arts colleges. Oglethorpe continues to be a leader in the development and implementation of the core curriculum, which is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Dead Day in.) Formally known as "Reading/ Preparation Day", this is the day before final exams j begin each semester. It is a day set aside for study and rest before the rigors of finals. No classes meet on this day and no meetings of student organizations are held. Isn't that just great! As a means of "prepara- tion" and "rest" prior to Dead Day, the University plans a blowout party at a local hot spot (This year. The Library) where alcohol, food, music, and fun are in abundance. Can you possibly think of a better way to spend the night before finals crunch time?! |

Iglelhorpe Student Association's Mission, should they choose to accept it, is to act as advocates for student concerns, advance relationships between students and administra tors, alumni, and the world beyond, and presenting quality pro- gramming that is both educational and entertaining... In real- ity, OS A is so much more than that. Three bodies— Executive Council, Senate, and Programming Board— joined to enhance student life on campus by having class unity projects, sponsor- ing exents such as Homecoming, Chinua Hawk concert, Virgin Bourbon, Battle of Bloody Marsh, Fun Flicks, Casino Night, Dead Day's Eve Party, and the Senior Party. Under the lead- ership of Dar'shun Kendrick, the OS A President, the organi- zation took a different direction to become more active and visible on campus. .

The Jewish Student Union is organized and run by Jewish students at Oglethoipe. One goal of this organization is to create an renvironment for Jewish students
eeking interaction with others jWho share their religious
eliefs and holidays. Another Igoal is to provide an open and welcoming atmosphere for students of all faiths who are
nterested in learning more about
e Jewish religion and culture. The JSU invites all students to participate in two sponsored events throughout the
chool year. During the fall semester
here is the building of the sukkah during the Jewish holiday, Sukkot. In the spring semester the JSU celebrates Passover by observing the traditional dinner. Both of these events are held to celebrate and educate the Oglethorpe community about the Jewish holidays and beliefs.
A hut, or sukkah, was built on the deck by the Emerson student center as part of Sukkot festivities. The sukkah was decorated with tradi tonal signs of the 'est, including gourds
JSU members Kim Feld and Emily Treuman in front of the completed sukkah.

XIS is the activist organization on campus for the tree huggers. From promoting awareness about enxironmental issues to supervising the student-run recycling program, ECOS has been an essential part of the Oglethorpe community for many years.
ECOS holds an annual Earth- Day celebration on April 22nd which includes environmental speakers, campus clean-ups, camping trips and l)on fires. Also, there have been trash demonstrations to remind people to be mindful of their material consumption and increase recylcing awareness.For three years in a row we have sponsored a "no-driving day" adequately themed "Mend Your Fuelish Ways" where members of the Oglethorpe community signed a pledge stating that on that day they pledge to give up their driving privi ledges. The no driving day also included gorilla activism and sidewalk chalk telling student to "Get off your ass and walk to class."
ECOS asks everyone to hug a tree, kiss a fish and try to do their part to help save our environment. Every little bit helps.

The Mu Mu chapter rarely com- mits to any one project. Rather, they like to spread themselves (hmmm....) o\ er many different projects that em- compass the four areas of service: ser- vice to the college, service to the fraternity,
service to communiy, and service to the nation as par- ticipating citizens. Examples of service projects done by APO include volunteering at the Delaney House (a home for children of broken homes), nursing homes, state parks and other places in need.

The Oglethorpe Carribean Student Association is a relatively new organization on Oglethorpe's campus. The group is primarily composed of students from the (duh) Carribean as well as others from various walks of life. Through activities such as Carribean Trivia Night, this organization has managed to increase awareness about their rich individual and collective heritage.
James Hill, Greta, and Adonis Bovell show some Carribean love.

Black Student Caucus, aka BSC, has been on Oglethorpe's campus for a while now, continuing each year to pro \ ide awareness to the campus as well as unity and opportunity to its members. This year, on the slate of things to do was Gospel Night, the Annual Choir Day for the BSC. Soul Food Night, and the Talent Show.
February has been the month when the BSC has really shown Oglethorpe its true colors, but the or- ganization is trying to make sure that Black History and awareness are cel- ebrated every month in the year.

The International Club is also another force to be reckoned with. At the start of the semester they took the campus on le tour d'europe with "European Night". Later they gave us a "Bon Fire". In the past, the organization has sponsored events such as "Indian Night" and the *^.. annual classic, "International Night", in ITc which the students from other countries I wear their native clothing and prepare | authentic meals. The one thing that must be said about this group is that, forj American students, they sometimes make you wish you were from somewhere else because they seem to have all the FUN!!!

At some schools, Business majors are looked down upon by the Physics and Engineering students, claim- ing that the business program is easy and for those that don't want the challenge... but how is it that the Ac- countanting majors leave with the highest starting sala- ries? (On average, with a Bachelor's Degree, one earn $42,000 starting out). The students in the Accounting Society host receptions in which they are able to meet and mingle with recruiters from large accounting firms in the Atlanta area as well as other national firms. In ad- dition, scholarships are awarded through and to students of the Accounting Society. This networking group also believes in giving back to future Accounting students. Despite all the corporate scandals of the present day, they believe in accountability, integrity, and profession- alism.

Not content on just being a paper that covers campus issues, The Petrel strives to be abreast of national and international politics and other popular cur- rent events. Under the guid- ance of its Editor-in-chief, The Petrel has managed to remain fresh and inventive for yet an- other year while increasing its volume of readers.

•eserving the memories
Because the University serves as a "living leniorial" to the founder of Georgia, it features lany references to the Ufe and legend of General fames Oglethorpe. The school yearbook is named le 'Tamacraw" after the Native American tribe 'ho befriended him and Georgia. This is also the ^roup that made this book possible. Oglethorpe, indeed, owes a great debt to this group of dedicated students for all of the countless hours spent in the iffice, gathering historical and recent information tbout the University, as well as countless other du- ies.
This year marks the resurrection of the Yamac- •aw. Though the Yamacraw has the tendency to go out of publication for several years, hopefully, this issue will be the one to break this cycle that has served as a detriment to the preservation of Oglethoipe's legacy.

Urban Dance Steppers, or UDS Illusions, was estab- lished in January of 2003. The idea of formulating a dance team with more culture and rhythmic flavor actually began in late 2002. The founders, Chantae King and Sonal Narottam, were in the OU Cafeteria talking about starting another dance team and their determination drove them to find equally determined members. So there you have it. UDS kicked off 2003 by winning a campus talent show and ended the spring semester with a spec tacular performance at Stomp the Lawn, performing with top hip-hop acts, such as TI, Cee-Lo, and Baby D. UDS Illusions started the 2003-2004 school year with performances at the Lady Petrels' volleyball games, cheering them on to victpryfrorp the stands."

This select group of singers has been a constant force on this campus. They serenade audiences with classics from the Romantic period to the Baroque and Classical periods yet still manage to bring it back with contemporary pieces and modem jazz ballads. The Singers perform, under the direction of Dr. Irwin Ray, in November with their Fall Concert and then again m April with their Spring Concert. Additonally, they perform at the Boar's Head Ceremony and the Honors and Awards Convocation.

The 2003-2004 Petrels return with a new look after bidding farewell to two four year contributors. With incredible depth on the perimeter, this Petrels squad will look to utilize its team speed and strength on the perimeter. Seniors Alyson ; Adkisson and Nichole Gilleland will lead the way from the outside. Last season Nichole finished second in the SCAC for three-pointers per game. She and Alyson combined to shoot a remarkable 36% from the floor. Joining Laine Bradshaw (8'^' in the SCAC in assists) and Hannah York at the guard spots are three talented sophomores Megan Elliot, Erin Flynn and Tiffany Williams. All six of these ladies can hit the three and are legitimate threats from the outside. Inside the Petrels return Katie Michalczyk, Julie Colantoni [and Kirbie Smith. Joining this group are Sophomore Stefie Jo Janssen jand Freshman Brittany Corbett. Katie was the conferences second leading Irebounder and Julie finished 6'^ in the conference in scoring. Brittany and iKirbie will present match-up problems for opponents because of their [ability to play inside and out. With the leadership of two seniors on the [perimeter and the addition of four talented newcomers, the 2003-2004 is the most talented from top to bottom.

Victoria Payne
Senior Class President
While at Oglethorpe University:
I have been in several organiza- tions during my tenure here: the Stormy Petrel, Yamacraw, Ren- dez-Vous, Black Student Caucus, Ambassadors, Omicron Delta Kappa, Beta Omicron Sigma, the Gospel Choir, Oglethorpe Student Association, Programming Board, and Senate.
What I think about myself: / am a child of God, motivated by my God-given purpose and desire to make a difference in this world. I am a poet, a writer, a photographer, an artist, a singer, a songwriter, an actress, a Queen, a role model, a motivator, an enthu- siast, an optimist and a Christian. I love to share my smile and con- tentment with others. I have goals of becoming a contracted-singer, an actress, a producer of music, a middle school choir teacher, a free-lance photographer, a beauty professional (a beautician), a wife, and a mother I am also a product of what my parents have poured in to me as well as my experiences. The most important thing is that I love the Lord, and I want to do His will for my life. We can 't make it throught life on own; we all need somebody.

These losers are way too cool to participate in a senior picture retake. So, as punishment, their I.D. pictures will have to suffice for their senior picture. Some say the pictures are awful and others... Hey! You be the judge. Let this serve as a lesson for all to support Yamacraw and class events!

Junior Class President
Major: English and PoUtics Favorite Color: Pink, pink, and more pink
Quest: To save the world, obvi- ously
Fave Junior Class Activity: Trivia Night at Mellow Mushi-oom - Even if the Juniors can't win at trivia, at least we know how to heckle other teams and eat lots of pizza!
Fave Word: Cornucopia Bestest College Experiences: Alpha Phi Omega, summer study abroad in Florence, com maz- ing, concerts, movie nights in the dorm, arguing about COR, classes outside on the academic quad, ex- cursions to Atlanta, whining about cafeteria food, all of it! Advice to underclassmen: Get involved with activities and friends. They can take you any- where from hilarious wild goose chases through Atlanta, spur of the moment road trips or marching through campus with blindfolds on!

Eugene Rivers II
Sophomore Class Presidentl
On December 2nd, 20003, his fans cheered his name. "Eugene! Eugene!" Well it did not hap- pen quite like that, but I had fans nonetheless. So, remember you are all fans of mine. This is not a funny story, but the Public Speak- ing final was the greatest. Hey, if anyone needs me to inspire a large group of people with my great skills, please call INS-SPIRE! This, like my ability to speak in front of people and be as cool as Bernard, is just a joke. Thanks for your support at the final!
*The above photo was taken before Eugene murdered Bernard after he yelled "Don t Suck" at Eugene's
By the look on his face, Meredith miist've told Brent something he likes!
