trauma of a bad

ones that will be

When the sum-
mer dwindled
to almost no-
thing, and it
was finally
time for a new freshman
class to begin its first year of
college life, SOLO was there
to help make the transition.
High school graduates
from all over the country
anxiously awaited the time
when they would leave home
and be "on their own." To
make the transition easier, a
freshman orientation pro-
gram was created to curb
apprehension and anxiety
about what college is really
all about.
Orientation '86 was a
great time for students to
become familiar with the
campus as well as meeting
other students who would be
their classmates for the next
four years. As part of these
summer weekends, the
Samford Orientation Leader-
ship Organization provided
fun and games that served
to educate freshmen and
make them feel more at
home.
The SOLO leaders were
students chosen from ap-
plications submitted the
previous spring. These
groups led the incoming
freshmen by the hand as
they explored the novelty of
college life. The leaders in-
itiated freshmen about the
important particulars of
University life, such as what
"Pinkie" means, and who
the best teachers were for
what classes.
In the words of one
freshman, "My SOLO leader
taught me how to carry my
Cafe tray!" Bob Strain, a
freshman from Selma, said,
"It was really helpful to get
to know some other fresh-
men so that when I came
back to school in the fall I at
least felt a little at home."
One event that was
definitely a highlight of the
weekend was the open
fraternity parties for the new
freshmen. These parties
were a time for upper-
classmen, who came back to
campus for the weekend to
see old friends and get a look
at some of the new students.
Mary Beth Maddox, a
freshman from Gainesville,
Ga., said, "It was a good
chance to get oriented with
the campus. I met a lot of
people and I got to know my
roommate. I just really en-
joyed it. I thought it was
excellent.
The weekend was filled
with many activities for the
students and their parents.
Those activities included
lectures, tours and the nor-
mal placement tests re-
quired of all new students.
Students and parents
alike ate in the Cafe and that
was certainly orientation
enough for anyone! Parents
were involved in tours and
question/answer periods
with various members of the
administration as well as a
special student panel. Dur-
ing the same time, the new
students were finding out
many of the new worlds,
academic and otherwise,
that were about to be
opened to them. The week-
end closed with academic
advisement and registration
for the new students.
Over the course of the
summer, three regular ses-
sions were held as well as
an orientation for students
that live more than 300
miles from the University.
J.J. Perkins, a freshman
from Griffin, Ga., said, "I
came to the fourth orienta-
tion and everything was real-
ly rushed. The SOLO groups
were what 1 enjoyed the
most. I met a lot of people,
freshmen and upperclass-
men."
Teresa Browning, a
sophomore SOLO leader
from Bessemer, com-
mented, "I got to know a lot
of the freshmen as well as
the other SOLO leaders.
During orientation, we all felt
like a family working
together to try to help the
new students. I enjoyed it
because I was not a
freshman anymore and they
all looked up to me."
Melanie Boyd, a senior
from Dothan, said, "I feel like
it helped them to come and
see where they would be
spending a lot of time."
The success of the time
spent at orientation would be
seen later when those stu-
dents became the leaders
themselves. □ -NanPoweii

B
lg was the
theme the Stu-
dent Govern-
ment Associa-
tion used to
describe the activities of
Welcome Week. The cele-
bration of students returning
to campus was kicked off in
a major way. Students and
faculty alike jumped head
first into an exciting week-
long schedule of activities
aimed at reaquainting old
friends and making new
ones.
Amid registration, stand-
ing in the unavoidable lines
found at student accounts,
and merging back into the
chaos of school, students
began to settle in for a sem-
ester of classes and
activities.
"I enjoyed Welcome Week
because it provided a
chance to meet people in a
relaxed atmosphere and
have a blast at the same
time," said freshman
Nichole Barnes of
Cartersville, Ga.
The week included games
that involved anyone who
wanted to participate. Com-
petitions were held on the
quad in the afternoons, and
Saga provided steak for the
traditional welcome back
meal known as "Dinner on
the Dirt."
"Eating dinner on the
quad was one of my favorite
parts of returning to school.
I enjoyed spending time out-
side and socializing with old
friends I haven't seen all
summer." said junior Eliza-
beth Franklin of Birm-
ingham.
Class meetings were held
later on Wednesday evening
and the freshman class had
a record attendance of more
than 300 students.
Sorority Rush also began
Wednesday evening with
Panhellenic Welcome.
Representatives from each
sorority sang songs and
medleys characteristic of
their sisterhood.
The president and rush
chairman of each group
were introduced and allowed
to make a few statements to
the rushees. This provided
an opportunity for the girls
to learn a little about each
group.
In addition to starting new
classes and making new
friends, many students had
to adjust to a new room-
mate. Kelly Ford, a sopho-
more from Nashville, Tenn.,
was one such person.
"I did not know Cindy (her
roommate) before 1 came to
school this year, and it took
some time for each of us to
adjust to the little quirks of
the other," she said.
The Student Government
Association sponsored a
Welcome Back Dance on
Wednesday night at Ves-
tavia Civic Center. Student
Government Association
members served free pizza
and cokes from Little
Ceasar's.
Red and blue streamers
and balloons decorated the
gym. During Lionel Richie's
song, "Dancing On The Ceil-
ing," the elevated jogging
track allowed students to do
just that. The track was
filled with people trying to
follow the example of
Richie's video.
To some the dance
seemed to be a great way for
freshman to meet each
other but others felt it was
somewhat like high school.
"It's been five years since
I'd been to a dance in a
gym," said Clayton Wallace,
a senior from Gulf Shores.
The event lasted late into
the evening. "1 thought the
dance was a great idea,"
Franklin said. "It was one of
the best that the school has
had."
When classes began on
the fourth, long lines formed
in the bookstore and the
registrar's office.
A sense of excitement
permeated the campus as
sorority Rush continued in
the evenings and people
began to adjust to a new
roommate and a new year.
Welcome Week ended
Saturday on an exciting note
with Samford winning its
first game of the season 35-
15 over Sewanee. There was
an encouraging amount of
students in attendance at
the game and it started off
the year and the football
season in a positive way. □

Special convoca-
tions, concerts,
comedy perfor-
mances and
funerals were
part of Home-
coming '86, celebrated Oc-
tober 6-11. With the theme
of "Back in Time," students
started off the week by at-
tending a special convoca-
tion Monday morning featur-
ing Christian comedian and
alumnus Nick Foster.
Shannon Maner, a senior
nursing major from Cullman,
said, "It was exciting to to
see an alumnus use his com-
ical talents as a witness for
the Lord." She said Foster
seemed at home in front of
the students, and his perfor-
mance added new variety to
convocations.
On Tuesday students
were encouraged to show
their homecoming spirit by
wearing the school colors.
Though not well publicized,
many students turned out in
red and blue.
Saga sponsored the sec-
ond "Dinner on the Dirt" of
the year with the traditional
steak dinner, and the tradi-
tional ants.
Elizabeth Coles, a fresh-
man elementary education
major from Atlanta, Ga.,
said, "It was a lot of fun to
eat in a different environ-
ment from the cafeteria. I
enjoyed the relaxed at-
mosphere and just being
casual with my friends."
Wednesday saw recording
artist Gene Cotton come to
the campus to give what
was billed as an "intimate
concert." There were only
about 300 tickets available
for the concert, and every-
one who attended sat on
stage with Cotton during his
performance in the Leslie S.
Wright Fine Arts Center.
"Mr. Cotton provided an
evening of priceless enter-
tainment. His masterful use
of the guitar, four piano
chords and fresh humor
delighted everyone," said
David Owenby, a freshman
from Franklin, Tenn. The
highlight of the concert was
a duet Cotton sang with
junior Laura Billingsley
called "You're a Part of Me."
"They were awesome,"
Owenby said.
Deputy Barney Fife came
to campus on Thursday to
make sure everyone was
obeying laws to the letter.

trayal of the deputy on the
Andy Griffith Show, gave a
"Lecture on Comedy."
Knotts had no trouble
keeping the attention of his
audience, and at the end of
the lecture there was an
abundance of questions for a
question-and-answer period.
This was a feat that made
some professors envious.
Senior Cheri Mangum of
Cullman said, "I thought he
(Knotts) was very funny. I
was very happy to see
someone of his stature."
However, Mangum thought
the question-and-answer
session was too long, and
detracted from the perfor-
mance as a whole.
The highlights of Friday
were fraternity parties, the
pep rally, the funeral held for
the Anderson Raven and the
naming of the 1986
Homecoming Queen. Earlier
in the week a casket, deco-
rated with decaying pink and
red roses, had been placed in
various conspicuous loca-
tions on campus to promote
the funeral.
The use of the casket
drew both favorable and un-
favorable reactions from
students.
"The casket was un-
necessary and only* gave
people the creeps," said Bir-
mingham sophomore Terri
Stewart. However, some
students saw no harm in
displaying the casket on
campus.
"The idea was eyecatch-
ing and only made the
funeral seem more real,"
said Janine Smith, a senior
psychology major from
Mobile.
Despite the mixed reac-
tions, the funeral went on.
There were more than 700
students, faculty and alumni
in attendance. Senior drama
major Jeff Gilliam played the
part of a pastor performing
the funeral, and the Universi-
ty Chorale acted as
mourners singing solemn
spirituals.
After the ceremony
Gilliam led the funeral pro-
cession to a bonfire on
Seibert field. The band,
under the direction of Greg
Berry, painted their faces a
ghastly white, and six Pi
Kappa Phi's — Tommy
Fuller, David Friday, Barclay
Reed, Jeff Hatcher, Tim
Gregson and Tolbert Davis
were the pallbearers for the
deceased Raven.

sisted of Ginger Hill, a

Most people were im-
pressed by this year's
Homecoming pep rally, and
attendance surpassed those
of past years by far.
Alice Meyers, a
sophomore from Tusca-
loosa, said, "The spirit was
surprising compared to past
participation at pep rallies."
Homecoming week came
to a fantastic climax on
Saturday as the Bulldogs
took on the Anderson
Ravens in football, and stu-
dents prepared for the first
ever Homecoming Ball.
In the football game, An-
derson was defeated 34-7 as
the Bulldogs went on to win
their second game of the
year. The Club was the site
of the Homecoming Ball,
and the band Cruise Control
from Nashville, Tenn., pro-
vided the music.
"I was impressed by the
turnout and the food was
good," said sophomore Mike
Nimer of Miami, Fla.
From all indications, the
Ball was a perfect ending to
an entertaining, exciting

^Jurvivor made its first
performance in the South on
Leslie S. Wright concert hall
stage. Many students were
surprised that a band as
popular as Survivor had
been scheduled to perform.
Student Government Presi-
dent, Todd Crider said, "The
group's agents had been
wanting to tour the South'
and when they were ap-
proached, they accepted."
Although the concert hall
was not full on that Tuesday
night in February, an ex-
cellent performance was
given by Survivor. When
lead singer Jimmy Jameson
led the band on stage, he
brought with him an energy
that swept the crowd to its
feet and kept them there.
With its distinct sound
Survivor dynamically per-
formed hit after hit including
"High On You," "The
Search Is Over," "Eye Of
The Tiger" and "Is This
Love."
In a pre-concert interview
with lead singer Jimmy
Jameson, he answered some
of the Entre Nous'
questions.
EN What brings Survivor
to the South tonight?
JJ Well, we had a choice,
Alabama and your campus
or California and the Gram-
mys. We're not winning
anything tonight, so why go
to the Grammys?
EN What has Survivor
been doing just prior to
beginning this tour?
JJ We've recently re-
leased our newest album,
When Seconds Count, and
we've just returned from
touring Japan.
EN What kind of response
did the band get overseas?
JJ It was unbelievable.
We headlined to sold-out
crowds. The amazing thing
was that most of them
couldn't speak English, but
they had learned the words
to our songs so they could
sing along during the show.
Japanese kids are really into
American music.
EN Let's back up to 1982
and a night the band did
want to attend the
Grammys.
JJ Yes, '82 was our
ground-breaking year. We
were fortunate enough to be
chosen by Sylvester Stallone
to sing the title song for
Rocky III "Eye of the Tiger,"
and it proved the best selling
single of that year. We won
the Grammy for Best Rock
Vocal and the Oscar for Best
Song.
EN Survivor has had
several successful releases
since "Eye Of The Tiger."
What's your favorite?
JJ I don't know that I
have a favorite song, but
"Can't Hold Back" is my
favorite video.
EN Why?
JJ It was the most fun for
all of us. Everyone dressed
up like people of various
professions and we shot the
video on a train. Man, I could
tell you some stories about
that experience . . .but not
on the record.
EN I can imagine! Now
that you're here, at a
Southern Baptist campus,
will you restrict or change
your stage performance in
any way?
JJ No. We don't have to
be vulgar and absurd to get
attention on stage. Our
music isn't of that nature. It
speaks for itself and our
show doesn't change ac-
cording to who we are per-
forming for.
EN Lately there have been
a lot of rock groups spon-
sored spots discouraging
drug and alcohol use. Has
Survivor been approached
to help these type projects?
JJ Yes. We haven't done
any for Rock Against Drugs
yet, but we've done several
'don't drink and drive' spots.
EN Is this something the
band really believes in, or is
it an image builder?
JJ If we didn't believe in
it, we wouldn't do a spot for
it.
The concert was opened
by Spoons, a Canadian rock
group that did not please the
crowd at first. Once the
group played its one
American release, "Taking
Prisoners Over Boarders,"
the crowd came to attention.
The next attention-getter
was somewhat of a surprise
to everyone, including the
Spoons. Members of the
Survivor road creww storm-
ed the stage in pink bunny
suits. It was Survivor's way
of telling the Spoons
good-bye. The concert end-
ed their touring partnership.

sing, summer missionaries
experienced all types of new
and exciting adventures
while proclaiming the Gos-
pel. The money raised at Fall
Carnival helped to send
these missionary students
across the country — from
West Virginia to California.
Typically, the weather for
Fall Carnival was chilly. This
carnival, however, sported a
new look. For the first time,
the festivities were held in
the student activities center
and outside in the adjoining
parking lot.
"1 thought it was very
unorganized," said Alice
Myers, a sophomore from
Tuscaloosa, "the new loca-
tion seemed to break the
carnival up. It did not seem
as big or exciting."
Individual organizations
sponsored fund-raising
events for the cause. One of
the favorite annual events
was the Zeta Tau Alpha
Slave Auction, where big
and little sisters were auc-
tioned off as pairs to the
highest bidders. The girls
were made to clean rooms,
bake cookies and carry
books for the lucky masters
who purchased them for the
day. The Zeta's raised more
money than any other group
in the Carnival. The Lambda
Chi Alpha Haunted House
was also a big success. The
brothers set up the horror
house down on fraternity
row and brave students
scared themselves to death
for the sake of summer
missions.
One of the biggest crowd
pleasures was the mud-
wrestling event. Sponsored
by Sigma Chi, it drew large
crowds of onlookers as the
wrestlers covered them-
selves from head to toe.
Some new events were
the freshman class record
requests, rides in the in-
famous Pi Kappa Phi Pledge
Mobile, Ministerial Massages
given by the M.A.'s, and pic-
tures with Sammie, the team
mascot. The Carnival had a
much wider variety of
events than was evident in
previous years.
Other events included a
ladder climb, rappelling from
the top of the gym, kissing
booths, basketball throws, a
dunking booth and fortune
telling.
Local churches were also
on hand to offer their sup-
port to summer mission-
aries.
Entertainment was pro-
vided by the cheerleaders,
Act: 8 and various campus
singing groups.
As always, Fall Carnival
was a huge success. Ap-
proximately $1,500 was
raised for the summer mis-
sions program.
Ginny Bridges, director of
Campus Ministries/BSG
said, "This year was the best
ever. It is the most money
we've ever raised."
For many, this was the
first time to get a good look
at campus organizations. To
an outsider looking in, it was
a time for all the students
and faculty to give some-
thing of themselves to reach
those they might never
know. Participation by area
churches added to a sense of
"community" concern and
effort.
The attitude of giving was
evident as people made sure
to check everyone's booth
and see what they could
spend their money on next!

I'm going to the country
club," "I live in the
woods," "The Samford
Club ...,'' "tree
houses'' . . . sound
familiar? These phrases
became quite ordinary say-
ings heard throughout the
campus.
Those who lived in
Beeson Woods said them
with pride. But those who
did not live in the new
Beeson Woods said them
with a hint of jealousy.
Most often, "The Woods"
was the name given to the
apartment-like dorms built
with money given by long-
time benefactor Ralph W.
Beeson. A monument in
honor of Beeson was erected
in the middle of Gerow
Hodges Drive, the road
leading to the dorms. The
monument served to honor
Beeson as well as slow down
would-be speeders.
Inside each building was a
general lobby decorated with
chairs, a mirror, a dresser
and an oriental rug. Leading
from the lobby, were three
doors that lead to suites on
the ground level and the first
floor as well as stairs to the
third floor suites.
Each suite consisted of
two bedrooms, two
bathrooms, and a compact
kitchenette area adjacent to
a den. Each suite housed
four people.
There were five buildings
all named after a member of
the Beeson family. These in-
cluded Luther Hall, Malcolm
Hall, Wesley Hall, James Hall
and BW 5 which would later
be named. The three
women's dorms and two
men's housed a total of 120
people.
Once completed, it only
took a short time for Beeson
Woods to catch on. The
completion of the footbridge
in spring semester made the
distance question moot.
"It may be a little out of
the way, but an apartment
with air conditioning
definitely beats living in a
hot closet!" said Scotty
Mitchell, a sophomore in-
terior design major.
Senior Colores Sherer
commented, "I actually en-
joy the walk and the time to
be outside."
The bridge's attrac-
tiveness was greatly enjoyed
and added a different look to
the duties of getting to class
on time or the romance of a
late night stroll with that
special person. One final
favorable reaction to the
bridge was the elimination of
a temporary, but unpopular,
campus institution — the
shuttle.
Before the bridge was
completed, the shuttle was
used to commute back and
forth between Beeson
Woods and the rest of the
campus.
"It was a good idea, but
many people who rode the
shuttle feared being
mistaken for a young school
child," claimed Rob Broad-
well, a senior from Clear-
water, Fla.
The shuttle ran daily from
7 a.m. until 3 p.m traveling
approximately 100 miles a
day. The addition of Beeson
Woods to the campus pro-
vided a special attraction for
upperclassmen who were
tired of their "cramped"
lifestyles in the dorm.
Four new dorms were
nearing completion in April
and they were quickly filled
by students frantically trying
to get their names on the
housing list for fall.
"Almost the entire com-
plex will be filled with up-
perclassmen as Vail, Smith
and C.J. become more for
freshmen," said Tim Heb-
son, director of housing.
"The suites gave a feeling
of living on your own and
having some independence
from regular dorm life," said
sophomore Ronnie Hollis.
Often, the dorms were
made fun of and the in-
habitants kidded about their
upperclass lifestyle, but
those who suffered through
the roaches and heat of Vail
and C.J. finally acquired the
luxuries they had been
waiting for in "The Woods."

Dancing at Sam-
ford? As an in-
stitution spon-
sored by the
Alabama State
Baptist Convention, the
University did not allow
dancing on campus, yet it
did take place at fraternity
parties and University-spon-
sored "band parties." Many
students wondered what the
difference was.
Dean Rick Traylor, as-
sociate dean of students,
was anxious to clear the air
on the subject. According to
Traylor, band parties were
held off-campus for a variety
of reasons. First, because of
the support from the Ala-
bama Baptist Convention,
dancing was not allowed on
campus. The Baptist Faith,
and Message , the official
doctrine of the Baptist
denomination does not con-
done dancing. Secondly,
dancing was not sanctioned
by the Board of Trustees.
Finally, off-campus dances
allowed students to ex-
perience a change of pace
and scenery.
"I'm excited that Samford
has finally opened up the
chance to call our 'band par-
ties,' 'dances' because our
students jam," said senior
Colleen Gaynor.
Due to Southern Baptist
doctrine and support, any
school-sponsored dances
were required to be held off
campus. One aspect of the
dancing question pertained
to the definition of on and
off campus. The biggest
question concerned fraterni-
ty housing.
All the fraternities, except
Sigma Chi, had houses on
the back portion of the cam-
pus that were considered off
campus. Sigma Chi was
housed on the bottom floor
of Crawford-Johnson dorm.
Traylor explained that
although the Sigma Chi
room was more on-campus
than off, it was given the
same off-campus status as
other fraternity housing, and
thus, the brothers were
allowed to dance at the mix-
ers they held in their room.
Traylor said he felt very
positive and excited about
the school-sponsored
dances. "Anytime you have
1,600 students at a Welcome
Back function, it's a big suc-
cess," Traylor said.
The Welcome Back
Dance and the first
Homecoming Ball were both
well attended. "As long as
students act as they do now,
they (the dances) will con-
tinue," Traylor said. Mem-
bers of the bands, policemen
and authorities in charge all
commented positively on
student conduct. "It really
makes me proud," Traylor
said.
Overwhelmingly, students
were very much in favor of
dancing. "The dances are so
much fun and they seem to
bring the whole campus
together instead of focusing
on individual groups," said
Tom Savage, a sophomore
from Birmingham.
Kim Ancona, a sopho-
more from Atlanta, Ga., said,
"I meet new people every
time I go to a dance and it's
neat to see them at school
the next week."
Chris Perkins, president
of the Ministerial Associa-
tion said, "dances are good,
clean fun that everyone
seems to enjoy."
Some future events were
planned, and after the suc-
cess of the Jan term dance,
the Step Sing celebration
dance, and the Spring Fling
Ball, students were looking
forward to what the SGA
had in mind. A M*A*S*H
dance, a Sadie Hawkins
dance, and another ball at
The Club were all on the
agenda for upcoming
events.
Dawnie Gtz, a freshman
from Sarasota, Fla., had her
own ideas about how the
dances might be improved.
She said, "It seems like they
would be better if there was
more entertainment, like
bands or contests."
Dancing was an issue that
many students felt strongly
about, and whether one
agreed or disagreed, most
students appreciated the ef-
forts of the administration to
work with the students on
the issue.
The chance to dance? It
had finally arrived, as
students, side by side with
the faculty and administra-
tion, reserved the right to
say "Let's dance!" □

Leslie S.
Wright stage earlier than
usual when the Miss En-
tre Nous pageant got
under way. The pageant,
a preliminary to the Miss
Alabama contest, was
moved from its usual
position during the spring
semester to an earlier
date in November. The
change was made to give
the winner more time to
prepare for the Miss
Alabama pageant in June.
Directors Clay Chaffin,
Rhonda Garrett and Mar-
sha Pritchett worked with
officials from the Miss
Alabama staff to ensure a
professional production.
The pageant opened
with a parade of the con-
testants, and then dazzled
the audience during the
evening gown competi-
tion. The girls wooed the
judges in their finery be-
fore they were whisked
away to prepare for the
talent competition. Al-
though the back dressing
rooms were the scenes of
total chaos, with gowns,
hot rollers, makeup and
hair brushes strewn
across the floors, the con-
testants managed to
change and appear flaw-
less in front of the judges.
Special talent was pro-
vided by 1986 Miss
Alabama, Angela Cal-
lahan, who also emceed
the production. She was
in the Top 10 of the Miss
America pageant, and
sang "Let Freedom
Ring." Cyndi Mashburn, a
sophomore physical
education major and the
reigning 1986 Miss St.
Clair County, also made
an appearance during the
special talent segment of
the program.
The talent portion of
the show entertained the
audience with a variety of
songs and routines. From
piano pieces, vocal rendi-
tions and dance routines,
the show was saturated
with ability. Freshman
math major Julie Evans
of Sylacauga won the
talent competition with
her piano excerpt. She
was sponsored by the
sisterhood of Zeta Tau
Alpha. Junior Laura Bil-
lingsley of Hollywood,
Fla., gave a crowd-pleas-
ing show with her hilar-
ious rendition of the song
"Ring Them Bells." She
advised the girls in the
audience to get to know
their neighbors!
The swimsuit competi-
tion was held Friday
afternoon before the
pageant and was closed
to all except the judges.
This portion was won by
Kim Williamson, a fresh-
man from Birmingham.
Sponsored by Chi Ome-
ga, she danced to the
"Overture from Mame"
for her talent.
After the talent com-
petition, the audience was
entertained by 1985 Miss
Entre Nous, Christie
Dykes, who sang "Safe In
The Hands of Jesus," ac-
companied by Mark
Dowdy a friend from
Gainesville, Ga. 1986
Miss Entre Nous, Teresa
Chappell, sang "We've

audience waited for the
announcement of the
winners. Chappell man-
aged to make it through
some tough production
difficulties, which in-
cluded problems with the
tape, to give a beautiful

Resha Riggins, sponsored
by Sigma Chi, claimed the
top honor of Miss Entre

biology major from Truss-

prepared. I certainly didn't
think I would win, but the
pride I felt in being able to
represent Samford helped
pull me through all the tests
and other problems that
hindered my being at my
best before the pageant."
Riggins, who competed in
the Miss Alabama pageant
last year as Miss Trussville,
will represent the University
as Miss Samford against
girls from more than sixty
places around Alabama.
"I would love to stop at
Miss Samford if I could; in-
stead of having to compete
in the big pageant," Riggins
said. "The Miss Alabama
pageant is much more
strained and very political.
The preliminary contest is
more important to me."
As a result of her Miss En-
tre Nous title, she was asked
to do several mini-concerts
in area churches. She sang
"When the Time Comes" in
the Miss Entre Nous
pageant.

songs, but they are leary of

Surf boards,
rafts, loud
music and wet
hair — no, this
was not spring
break in
Florida, it was January 21st
on campus. Old man winter
invaded the University, and
as the seven inches of snow
began to fall Wednesday
evening, students scurried
around gathering anything
that would aid them in sled-
ding down the University
hills. Everything from the
famous cafe trays, to card-
board boxes and surfboards'
were seen making tracks in
the snow.
Loud music, screaming
and laughing made the night
one that all involved would
remember. For some, it was
their first time to see a real
snowfall. Others thought it
would be the only snow Bir-
mingham would see that
winter and they wished to
make the most of it.
Classes were canceled the
following day, and students
took advantage of the free
time to build snowmen, start
snowball wars, and go sled-
ding .
Although the snow quick-
ly melted away the day after
it blanketed Birmingham, it
was an entertaining break in
the sometimes dreary days
of Jan term. The rest of
Jan term was not as spon-
taneous and exciting as that
snow-filled evening. As
usual, the relaxation and
scarcity of people were the
main facets of the session.
Only a handful of students
attended classes, and there
were parking spaces and
cafe tables in abundance. In
Jan term students took easy
loads to relax or to prevent
them from suffering through
difficult classes such as
physics, statistics or ethics
for an entire semester. Many
students used the time to
pick up an extra credit in an
interesting class, or to add a
necessary P.E. class such as
aerobics or karate. The time
was also used to prepare for
Step Sing and the upcoming
semester.
For some, Jan term of-
fered an opportunity to play
and spend leisure time doing
things for themselves while
squeezing in studying where
necessary. But for others,
Jan term meant study,
study, study and then sleep-
ing and eating when they
had a chance. Either way,
the term was quick, and
students were soon forced to
return to the normal
schedules of spring
semester.
Others made changes in
the usual Jan term activities
by participating in an entire-
ly new culture. Two large
groups traveled to London
and Mexico to sightsee,
shop, experiment with
foreign cuisine, become
cultured and, on a few occa-
sions, study.
Those who ventured to
London, flew to Amsterdam
to sightsee for the day, and
then flew to London to begin
their exciting tour. Classes
enhanced their curriculum
and added the enrichment
that made the London visit
educational as well as enter-
taining.
In addition to seeing the
wonders of London,
students traveled to areas
outside the city such as
Canterbury, Scotland and
Stonehenge.
After a long day of shop-
ping, riding the tube, study-
ing museums, and eating in
pubs, the Londoners always
found themselves enjoying
the theatres in the evenings
or taking in a BBC program
on the "telly." Students
learned the meanings of
words and phrases like
"loo," "queing up" and
"bobbies," as well as how to
find the "way out" instead of
the exit, and the intricacies
of converting pounds to
dollars. Following an ex-
hausting day of pushing
through the London crowds
and remembering to stand
on the right side of the
escalator in the tubes, the
study centre on Gloucester
Road was a welcome spot to
come home to, even for
those who had to climb to
the top floor!
"When you tire of Lon-
don, you tire of life." This
was the sentiment of most
of the students who were a
part of the London Jan
term.
Tom Savage, a sopho-
more from Birmingham, said
"London, the place of enter-
tainment, excitement

Other ambitious world
travelers spent the four
weeks during Jan term in
Mexico. The program
allowed the students to ob-
tain Spanish credit during
the short trip instead of tak-
ing the full semester at
home. The students lived in
the homes of Mexican
families and attended
several classes to earn their
grade.
Side trips were taken to
add to the students
knowledge of the country.
In Mexico City, the stu-
dents saw the pyramids of
Tenochtitlan, Aztec ruins,
ancient churches and Mex-
ican museums. They learned
much about the Spanish
culture from life with the
Mexican families as well as
the locals they encountered
selling wares in the streets
of the city.
There were also students
that used the three-week
break that Jan term offered
them to stay at home and
work, or just to spend time
with their families. Many
supplemented their income
with the extra money they
made. Other students who
lived too far away to go
home on weekends were
able to use this extended
time to catch up on family
life.
Whatever students did to
occupy their time during Jan
term, it was a welcome
break before the hectic ac-
tivities of Step Sing and spr-
ing classes began. □

All the practice
and prepara-
tion was fin-
ished, and
seniors could
not believe
they had lived through four
years of Step Sing. Students
were ready to relieve the
tension of three weeks of
hard practicing in what
some felt was the hardest
performance of the whole
weekend.
Dress rehearsal was a
night to relax and see all the
other shows for the first
time. Some groups pulled
out all the stops to impress
fellow students and faculty.
Some, however, saved their
"gimmicks" for the time of

"judgment." Faculty and
staff prepare a special
show that was only per-
formed for dress rehearsal.
Turning white isolation suits,
which they purchased for
$5.00 from the cancer re-
search center, into original
bunny suits, the staff added
their own magic to the night.
Rabbit ears were bought at a
costume shop, and each per-
son added his/her own extra
design to the outfit.
Director of Campus Mini-
stries, Ginny Bridges, said,
"We all wanted to do the
show even though we knew
we couldn't perform it every
night due to conflicts in dif-
ferent people's schedules. It
was great fun, and a way for
us as faculty and staff to
participate with the students
in an event that is a major
tradition."
After only five rehearsals,
the staff gave the students
an enjoyable show that in-
cluded a dog and several
children of the faculty

members.
In other shows some tra-
ditional "cut ups" appeared
wearing competing groups'
costumes and halloween
masks. The senior class had
to wear makeshift costumes
because their specially
ordered shirts did not arrive
on time.
Emcees Colleen Gaynor
and Larry Yarborough added
an interesting twist to the
history of Step Sing by ap-
pearing on stage in high top
tennis shoes and a Hawaiian
tie, respectively, in addition
to their formal attire. They
addressed their opening
remarks to an audience that
had just gone through three
weeks of "Stomp Scream,"
and set a mood of fun for the
whole evening.
As in years past, dress
rehearsal was a time to cut
loose and have fun before
the tension of judged perfor-
mances began to take over.

Step Sing awards
were not only
presented for
the best perfor-
mances, they
were also given
to outstanding
teachers and students.
The Friendliest Faculty
awards went to Dr. Charlotte
Jones, psychology profes-
sor, and Dr. Mabry Lunce-
ford of the religion depart-
ment. Friendliest Student
awards were given to Karen
Duncan and Pat Eddins.
These awards were no-
minated and voted on by the
student body, and are a
traditional part of the Friday
evening activities.
The Step Sing Spirit
award was given to the show
in which the students
demonstrated the true spirit
of fun that Step Sing was
meant to convey. This
year's winner was the
Junior/Senior class show
that celebrated the music of
the Beach Boys and "surfin'

on by the judges. That show
was pronounced the most
entertaining show. Their
rollicking tribute to the Arm-
ed Forced was a real crowd
pleaser.
SGA scholarships were
given to two members from
each class. These awards
were given based on the in-
volvement of the applicants.
They were judged on the
basis of scholarship,
achievement, honors and in-
volvement. Freshmen reci-
pients were Tracey Shepard
and Jon Corts. Sophomore
recipients were Becky
Brown and Stephen David-
son. Junior recipients were
Ginger Campbell and Gery
Anderson.
Though they received no
awards, the Step Sing Com-
mittee put on a great show.
Chairperson Laurie Roark
said, "The committee
worked hand-in-hand with
the band and stage crew to
make it a success." The
committee was responsible
for working individually with
the groups. This involved
working with them during

technical practices and tak-
ing care of the judges and
escorting the groups on and
off stage. Without the hard
work of committee mem-
bers, Step Sing could never
have run as smoothly as it
did. The committee was
made up of students who ex-
pressed a desire to help
make the show a success.
Another important group
was the backstage crew.
They worked with each
group to insure the best per-
formance possible. This in-
cluded sound transmission
and dodging any props that
came "flying" off stage.
This group performed as
well as any group on stage. □

who worked

The band and the non-

In a beautiful rendition of
"The Sound of Music" and a
bold ending with "On With

certainly whetted the ap-
petite of the audience for the
performances that were to
come.
They also sang such
favorites as "I'll Sing for
You," "That's Where the
Music Takes Me," "Make
Your Own Kind of Music"
and "I've Got Rhythm." The
show was directed by Cara
Lott and choreographed by

Their theme was "When

audience that no matter how
bad things are going one
should never give up. Songs
included "Lonesome Loser,"

directed by Keith Warden

he Men's
Division was
full of varie-
ty. It was
always ex-
citing to see
what the fraternities would
come up with as themes,
and the shows certainly had
their share of excellent
ideas.
The winning show in the
Men's Division was pre-
sented by Pi Kappa Phi.
Their show "Lead Me
Home" was a collection of
inspirational old gospel
songs including "Amazing
Grace," "The Old Rugged
Cross'" and "Swing Low
Sweet Chariot." Directed by
Wayne Morris and chore-
ographed by Bruce Stallings,
the show brought the au-
dience to its feet.
Freshman David Parnell
of Knoxville, Tenn., said, "It
was a snowball type perfor-
mance that really got the
crowd stirring by good
choreography and fabulous
harmony."
Second place was taken

by Sigma Chi's show "The
Early Years of Rock 'n'
Roll." This journey back into
the "good ol' days" of rock
music was directed by Jack

Clay Chaffin and Greg Long.
"I was disappointed about
not being able to shag in the
actual performance like we
did at dress rehearsal," said
junior Sally Johnson, "but I
felt the show really didn't
need it. It was definitely
good enough without it."
Johnson, along with
Stacia Sinclair and Christy
Choyce, wore the traditional
poodle skirt and sat on the
sidelines to add atmosphere
to the performance.
Pi Kappa Alpha, which
impressed the audience with
its show "That Girl," sang
old favorites like "Deep
River Woman" and "Blue
Velvet." Directed by Tim
Wallace and choreographed
by Paul Hollis, the Pikes pro-
vided an endearing show.
"I am so proud of them,"
said sophomore Pam
Steelman.
David Rigg
The show dubbed "Most
Entertaining" by the judges,
was "The Lambdas of
Discipline" by the brothers
of Lambda Chi Alpha.
Directed by J.T. Harrell
and choreographed by Keith
Thomas, the show was a
tribute to the songs of the
military. Sophomore Briggs
Sanders was upset about the
show not winning a higher
award.
"I thought our show was
a lot of fun, and I'm glad it
was a crowd pleaser, but I
thought "Most Entertaining"
was a cheap award," San-
ders said. "Next year 1 want
to do a cowboy theme." □

show "Walk This Way." The

Directed by Brock Ballard
and choreographed by Kim

"Walk Like An Egyptian"
and "You'll Never Walk
Alone."
The senior class, directed
by Scott Guffin, chose
"Surf's Gp" for its theme,
and the group helped bring
back memories of the Beach
Boys with old favorites such
as "Barbara Ann." Choreo-
graphers Mary Jon Calvert
and Cynthia McKenzie
worked hard to make the au-
dience long for spring break
as the group "did the swim."
The energy of this group
won them the Spirit Award.

The sophomore class
rounded out the class com-
petition with its theme of
"Down the Yellow Brick
Road." A romp through the
fantasy land of Oz featured
the characters of Dorothy,
the Tin Man, the Lion and
the Scarecrow as well as a
variety of colorful munch-
kins.
The group sang "Some-
where Over the Rainbow,"
"Merry Old Land of Oz," "If
1 Only Had a Brain," and the
favorite "Ease on Down the
Road," from the contem-
porary production of "The
Wiz."

sion with its theme of "Le

"Moon River," "Sewanee,"
"Zing Went The Strings Of
My Heart," "Be A Clown,"
"Alexander's Ragtime

Over" the sisters saluted
one of America's most
beloved celebrities.
Delta Zeta celebrated the
music of George Gershwin
on the 50th anniversary of
his death with "The
Fascinating Rhythm of
George Gershwin." Kara
Pless directed the show and
it was choreographed by
Marsha Pritchett. From
"Rhapsody In Blue," "Sum-

"S'Wonderful" to "Em-
braceable You," the show
sparkled with reminiscence
of Gershwin's day.

Although the sisters went
through some production
problems they managed to
produce an original show.
Their umbrellas, one of the
best aspects of the show,

was yellow, but with so
many hours of practice, they

Students experienc-
ed a different kind
of competition
this year as the
traditional day of
games and events was stret-
ched to include a week of
fun and competition. The
name was also changed
from S-Day to Spring Fling.
The Student Government
Association sponsored the
week of events March 17-
21, just after students had
returned from a week of
spring break.
Highlights included tacky
tourist night in the cafe, an
A Cappella choir concert, an
indoor pool party, a school-
sponsored movie, a semi-
formal dance, dinner on the
dirt and the traditional swim-
ming competition and
track-and-field events.
Four trophies were award-
ed Saturday after all the
points of the week had been
tallied and the track-and-
field events were finished.
The trophies were awarded
for first place in the
women's division, first place
in the men's division and
first place in the mixed divi-
sion. An overall first place
winner was also named.
Zeta Tau Alpha sorority
finished first in the women's
division with 30 points ac-
cumulated from the swim-
ming events and the track-
and-field events. The sisters
of Chi Omega placed second
with 27 points.
The brothers of Sigma Chi
and Pi Kappa Phi tied for
first place in the men's divi-
sion, with the brothers of
Sigma Nu finishing third.
The Freshman Class and
Ministerial Association also
tied for first place in the
mixed competition.
The overall winner was
determined by points ac-
cumulated throughout the
week. Points were awarded
based on the group's par-
ticipation in all the Spring
Fling activities. Zeta Tau
Alpha received the overall
winner trophy. They had the
most people in attendance
at the pool party on Wednes-
day night.
Al Bevill, a senior from
Gardendale, served as chair-
man of Spring Fling. He said
the purpose of Spring Fling
was, "to provide an oppor-
tunity for students
to involve themselves in
campus activities.''
Gigi Burns, a sophomore
from Montgomery, served
as co-chairman of the
week's events. She said,
"We've worked hard to get
all the students involved in
the activities."
Cade Peeper, a freshman
Spring Fling committee
member said, "We have
diligently worked on ac-
tivities that can involve ail
members of the student
body. With their participa-
tion, Samford will be able to
have better student ac-
tivities in the future."
The week of activities
began on Tuesday night with
a tacky tourist night in the
cafe. Hot dogs, cotton can-
dy, pretzels and snow cones
were served. Later in the
evening the judging of the
tackiest tourist took place. A
cash prize of 50 dollars was
awarded to the lucky winner.
Many students participated,
and the cafe was filled with
the tackiest of sightseers
bedecked in St. Patrick's
Day green. Freshman Greg
Shaddix from Talladega was
awarded the extreme honor
of being the tackiest person
in attendance. Many hoped
he would use the 50 dollar
prize to update his wardrobe!
In addition, the A Cappella
Choir, led by Dr. L. Gene
Black, dean of the music
school, performed Tuesday
night in Leslie S. Wright
Concert Hall. Groups were
also given points for atten-
ding the concert, and these
points went toward the
overall score.
Mike Manning, a
sophomore A Cappella Choir
member from Corner, said,
"I felt like we did a good job.
It's tradition that the alumni
from the choir sing with us
on Beautiful Savior, our
closing number. The stage
was full of singers and it was
really emotional."
The indoor pool party was
a huge success, according to
Bevill. "We had about 150 to
200 people there Wednes-
day night."

also received discount

Friday afternoon the
seniors and faculty played a

The seniors managed to

game preceded the swim-
ming events, which were
held in the indoor pool.
The swimming events
took place Friday afternoon.

said, "I thought the swim-
ming events were fun. It was
well-organized considering it
wasn't a professional meet."
Amy Samuels, a sopho-
more from Enterprise, said,

has been a great opportunity

T
he four-year (or
five for some) wait
seemed like an
eternity until the
time came to walk across
the stage. Now the college
career was an experience
that would provide a lifetime
of memories.
All the times of staying
out past 1 a.m. and forget-
ting an I.D. to get back on
campus, stealing cafe trays
to slide down the hills in the
snow, dorm raids in the mid-
dle of final exams and any
excuse to waste time,
besides studying were all
part of the college
experience.
There was much more to
do besides studying. There
were fraternities and
sororities, Bible study
groups, intramurals and
many other clubs and ser-
vice organizations to join. All
these played an important
part in the whole college life,
but so did sleeping through
all those 8 a.m. classes,
cramming three months of
studying into three hours,
studying at Steak-N-Egg all
night and stopping at each
room on the hall for a daily
chat to see who's dating
whom.
Held May 15-17, Gradua-
tion was the culmination of
four Step Sings, four S-
Days, four Fall Carnivals,
three summer vacations,
three football seasons, three
days off for snow and one
senior check.
The college experience
was one that gave students
an opportunity to grow and
discover one's self, to test
beliefs and values, to in-
crease in knowledge and
wisdom, to learn about dif-
ferent personalities, to gain
lifetime friends in faculty
and students and to find a
purpose for the future.
The purposes that the
graduates found for their
lives were many and varied.
Some went on to seminary,
others to law schools, still
others went to medical
schools, and many more
joined the ranks of everyday
American workers. Each
knew that their experience
at Samford had streng-
thened them to undertake
any task that was before
them.
University programs and
staff offered guidance in all
aspects of the maturation
process; spiritually, aca-
demically and socially.
It taught the respon-
sibilities of commitment and
hard work to be the best.
This hard work paid off
for three students who
graduated with honors,
Grace Jaye, Kevin Kranzlein
and Todd Crider.
Friday's Baccalaureate
service was highlighted with
music from the A Cappella
Choir and a sermon from
Claude Otis Brooks, pastor
of Vestavia Hills Baptist
Church.
The Alumni Association
hosted Friday's Candlelight
Dinner in the cafeteria.
Speakers featured President
Thomas Corts, Jeffrey
Hoover, president of
Cumberland School of Law's
graduating class and Stacia
Sinclair, president of the
senior undergraduate class.
Sinclair left the soon-to-
be graduates with a few
words of wisdom about faith
from a poem. She said that
their lives will go through
good times and rough times.
When they got to the end of
the road and there was
nothing but darkness ahead,
that's when the test of faith
would be put into practice.
God would either provide a
road to walk further down or
give wings to fly.
Saturday's undergraduate
ceremonies began at 10:30
in the morning with a pro-
cession of faculty and
graduates from Reid Chapel
to Leslie S. Wright concert
hall.
Lucinda L. Maine, assis-
tant professor of pharmacy,
gave the invocation, while L.
Gene Black, dean of the
school of music, led the au-
dience in the hymn "God of
Grace and God of Glory."
The address was given by
E. Bruce Heilman,
Chancellor of the University
of Richmond. Heilman urged
the graduates to go forth
boldly and confidently in
anything they undertook.
After the presentation of
candidates, Sinclair gave a
farewell speech and several
awards and honorary
degrees were given out.

After the ceremonies, a

yard between Leslie S.

Frank P. Samford Ad-
ministration building. It pro-
vided a time for friends,
family and faculty to gather
for congratulations and meet
friends and professors.
Associate degrees were
awarded Friday afternoon in
Reid Chapel to those who
had gone through the first
two years of the nursing pro-
gram and other two year
programs.
The invocation was given

Several students ignored
the times set by the ad-

Chapel before Baccalaureate
and had to jump in line just
as the graduates were about
to enter the doorways of

Gann bent down to the

taped letters that spelled the
message "Happy 50th Dad-

Cheering for
the Bulldogs
was not the
only activity that
Gniversity cheer-
leaders engaged in dur-
ing the year. The ac-
tivities included
various thing besides
performing at pep
rallies, football and
basketball games.
Words like "fund rais-
ing,'' ''camp,''
"awards" and "promo-
tion" became as com-
mon to the cheer-
leaders as to any other
group on campus.
For example, the
summer schedule in-
cluded a trip to
cheerleading camp.
The cheerleaders at-
tended the Memphis
State Gniversity
Cheerleading Camp,
held in Memphis,
Tenn., where they
learned and perfected
dances, stunts, and
new routines. The
camp experience gave
the squad a chance to
see other groups and
their ideas and pro-
vided them with the
opportunity to share
their programs. They
attended seminars
where they learned
new dances and
routines as well as
stunts and chants.
The summer
schedule also included
another series of
camps. This time,
however, the cheer-
leaders switched roles
and became the
teachers. Over the
course of the summer,
they conducted two
week-long camps and
two weekend camps.
For the most part, the
cheerleaders taught on
the middle school
level. Their program
included dances,
chants, cheers, and
basic spotting
techniques.
The camps, pro-
vided by the cheer-
leaders, served as a
fundraiser for their
November venture to
Orlando, Fla.
The football team
played its last game of
the year against the
Gniversity of Central
Florida at Orlando.
The cheerleaders
raised approximately
$6,000 for the
weekend trip. In addi-
tion, they assisted in
sponsoring a student
bus to make the trip.
The weekend included
a trip to Disney World,
some time to lay in the
sun, the football game
and a long ride home.
The members of the
cheerleading squad in-
cluded: Linda Fortunis,
Melisa Goodwin,
Kristin Hickman, Anne
McGee, Kim Monroe,
Brenda Pritchett, Terri
Tucker, James Bodie,
Mike Carver, Clay
Chaffin, Bobby Coats,
Steven Doster, Richie
Irvin, Todd Kim-
brough, and Wayne
Morris as the
microphone man. Can-
di Gann served as the
sponsor for the group.
A group that did not
get quite as much
recognition as the var-
sity squad were the
Junior Varsity cheer-
leaders. They were in
attendance for all the
sports. The group was
made up of freshmen
girls who tried out in
the fall, and supported
the teams throughout
the season. The group
was a new addition to
the cheering staff.
"J.V. has brought
more people into
cheering.'' said
f reshma n squad
member Stephanie
McDonald, "It is a new
group that gives more
support to all sports."
Another vital part of
this group was "Sam-
my" the mascot. This
role was handled
superbly by Burt Lind-
bergh. As a part of this
group, Lindbergh was
responsible for sup-
porting the cheer-
leaders and enter-
taining the crowd.

materials and per-

behalf of the company.
One new twist that
faced the group was a
rule requiring them to
keep their feet on the
ground. Because of
past injuries, this was
proposed in order to
prevent future ac-
cidents. "The things
that happen are just
freak accidents," said
Brenda Pritchett, a
sophomore from Gulf
Breeze, Fla., "injuries
will still happen, even
with spotters. Hopeful-
ly, we will still be doing
some stunts, but not
as much." The new
rule meant no gym-
nastics, pyramids, or
dangerous stunts.
Despite rule
changes and multiple
roles, the cheerleaders
still managed to im-

their spirit. Their
energy and en-

student spirit and they

Bulldog fans were
taken along on a
non-stop roller
coaster ride this
season with the foot-
ball team. Fans were
treated to opening day
and Homecoming vic-
tories as well as
devastating losses to
Dayton and Central
Florida. Since its in-
ception, the program
faced several changes.
Junior Alan Lasseter
said, "This year we
lost a few real close
games, but the ex-
perience we gained will
enable us to win the
close games next
year."
The Sewanee Tigers
came into Seibert
stadium to give the
Bulldogs their first
contest of the season,
as well as their first
win. Before the game
was over, the Bulldog
offense had collected
35 points and the
defense had only
allowed 15.
The second game of
the season was the
team's first road game
and their first loss;
24-15. In spite of the
Hampden-Sydney
score, the game was
not without key per-
formances by Bulldog
players. Defensive
back Alan Lasseter got
an interception to end
a Hampden-Sydney
drive in the first half.
Likewise, punter Tim
Hamrick had an
outstanding game,
posting a 50-yard
average on that day.
His longest for the
afternoon went 67
yards to the
Hampden-Sydney
two-yard line.
The team then faced
the unfortunate task of
playing Division III
power Dayton at their
home field. Dayton
had a 42-6 vic-
tory over the young
Bulldog team. After
losing to Dayton, the
Bulldogs returned
home to play Wingate
College. The Bulldogs
suffered a 35-21 loss.
The next game, a
Homecoming match-
up against Anderson
College, marked the
season's high-water
mark for the team. Not
only did the defense
collect a record-setting
eight interceptions,
but the Bulldogs
brought a three-game
losing streak to a halt.
In addition to the
defensive perfor-
mance, the offense
racked up 419 total
yards which included
250 yards rushing. The
offense paid a horrible
price for the 34-7 win,
though, as Jeff Price
and John Harper left
the field on crutches.
Next, the Bulldogs
faced Rhodes College
in Memphis with a
chance to even their
record at 3-3. The 24-
14 loss was a hard pill
to swallow considering
four missed field
goals.
"It was frustrating
that we got so close so
many times but ended
up short," said Scotty
King, "but I feel like
we all grew up a lot
which will definitely
help in the next
season."
The Bulldogs
bounced back from
the Rhodes loss with a
dramatic 17-14 win
over Milsaps College.
The win was very
sweet as Milsaps had
the top defense in the
nation against the run.
The defense
dominated the second
half and the Bulldogs
found themselves in a
14-14 tie. Bulldog

Florida.
At Emory and
Henry, the Bulldogs
faced the Old Domi-
nion Conference
Champion and the
number one running
back in the nation. The
Bulldogs suffered a
49-6 loss.
Saddled with a 3-5
record, the Bulldogs
traveled to Orlando,
Florida. This included
a trip to Disney World
for the team. As time
ran out on the
Bulldogs, the Central
Florida team had
posted a 66-7 victory.
"Besides the three
wins of the year, the
high spot of the year
was when we got on
the bus to leave Cen-
tral Florida." said team
member Colin Hutto.
The season ended
with the Bulldogs
posting a 3-6 record
and the third losing
season in a row.

prove and the guys
start becoming closer

To say the
Bulldog Basket-
ball team faced
a rebuilding year this
season would be an
understatement. When
Head Coach Mel
Hankinson dusted off
the basketballs to
begin practice, gradua-
tion had left him a very
young team.
"Obviously, we'll
have a lot of scoring
and rebounding to
replace," Hankinson
said, "but the thing we
will miss most is
leadership."
Rembert Martin, a
6'3" transfer from
Mississippi State
University, was ex-
pected to be the
answer to the leader-
ship question. Unfor-
tunately, he was ben-
ched by a collarbone
injury during pre-
season practice. Mar-
tin had averaged 14.9
points per game during
the previous season.
Despite predictions
for a poor season, the
Bulldogs found
themselves in control
of a 21-12 lead over
Tennessee State in the
season opener. Unfor-
tunately, the all
freshman-sophomore
lineup soon found that
emotion alone could
not carry them to a
win. Tennessee State
defeated the Bulldogs
72-60.
Western Kentucky,
a team picked to win
the Sun Belt Con-
ference, came to town
ranked Mo. 8 in the
country by the
Associated Press.
2,600 fans crowded in-
to the gym to watch
this game. The game
turned into a clinic for
the Bulldogs as they
were defeated 94-57.
Joey Coe commented
on the Western Ken-
tucky game.
"That excited us.
We had high hopes
and nothing to lose. At
times, we played well,
but not well enough to
gain some respect
around Birmingham."
At halftime, thanks
David Rigg
to the defense and the
play of Rembert Mar-
tin, the Bulldogs en-
joyed a 32-31 lead.
Centenary's Andrew
Dembery came off the
bench in the second
half to score several
long shots and destroy
the Bulldog defense.
Centenary escaped
with an 80-76 victory
that left the Bulldogs
with an 0-4 record
overall and 0-1 in the
conference. Kurt Close
scored a career high
17 points in that game.
Following a 63-50
loss to Houston Bap-
tist, the Bulldogs
traveled to Chat-
tanooga, Tenn., to play
Southern Mississippi
in the Krystal Classic.
The Bulldogs sur-
prised USM by forcing
them into overtime.
USM coach M.K. Turk
expressed his respect,
"You have to give
Samford all the credit
in the world. They laid
it on the line and
played very hard It
was a great effort."
Three point shots by
Rembert Martin and
Joey Coe in the final
minute sent the game
into overtime tied at
71. USM went on to
win in overtime 87-77.
In the consolation
game, the Bulldogs
defeated Colgate 66-57
for their first win of the
season.
The University of
Arkansas-Little Rock
defeated the team 92-
76. The Bulldogs then
were able to fight back
against Hardin-
Simmons to force the
game into overtime.
With 4:30 left in over-
time, the Bulldogs held
a 70-68 lead. Hardin-
Simmons regained the
lead with 2:10 left and
hung on to win 76-71.
Things continued to
get worse for the
Bulldogs. After losses

A trip through
Texas put the Bulldogs
back on the losing
track again. Houston-
Baptist defeated the
Bulldogs 87-67 and
Texas-Arlington
scored an 81-72 vic-
tory. The Bulldogs fell
behind Texas-
Arlington by 21 points
with eight minutes left
in the game, but
fought back to within
six at 74-68 on Joey
Coe's three-pointer
with 1:20 left. Despite
19 points from
Rembert Martin in the

second half and
outscoring the

Bulldogs still fell short.
Coach Hankinson said,

halves killed us, but we
hung in."

As the Bulldogs
prepared for their final
home game, there
were no seniors to say
good-bye to. Every
player on the team
would be returning.
For that reason, the
68-56 win over
Tuskegee was a
positive note for next
year.
The Bulldogs lost
George Green, Daryl
Hagler, Ed Carroll, and
Floyd Calhoun, all
starters from last
year's team. "Ob-
viously, we'll have a lot
of scoring and re-
bounding to replace,
but the thing we'll
miss most is leader-
ship," repeated Coach
Mel Hankinson. " This
year will be a year to
learn and next year will
be a year to chal-
lenge," he said.

be on the team next

tion of Coach Mel
Hankinson. Some were
surprised at the loss of

coach, but others felt

After an 11 -year
career as the
head coach of
the men's and
women's tennis pro-
gram, Les Longshore
resigned leaving
serious questions con-
cerning the future of
the sport at the
University.
These questions
were answered as new
head coach Jim Moor-
tgat took the men's
team to a 14-11 finish
while directing the
women to twice as
many wins as they had
the previous season.
Athletic Director
Paul Dietzel said, "Jim
has been with us one
season and he's
already made a big im-
pact on the program."
With a squad of
young players,
Moortgat said with
every match the team
began to make definite
progress.
The men's team fell
short, however, in the
attempt to capture its
fifth straight match in
just over a week.
The team had
beaten Tennessee
Tech, Trevecca,
Eastern Illinois and
Jefferson College and
were preparing to face
Auburn in Mont-
gomery, the top-
ranked team in the Na-
tional Association of
Intercollegiate
Athletics tennis. They
were defeated by
AUM, however, in the
first of five singles
matches.
Moortgat said that
the men's team pulled
together more as a
team since the begin-
ning of the year and he
saw definite im-
provement.
On the ladies' side
of the court, Moortgat
named Rhonda Adams
as the women's most
valuable player; Mary
Neel as the most im-
proved player; and
Lori Zeeman as the
hardest worker and the
most dedicated.
Moortgat said that
the women's team had
also improved steadily,
but still had a long way
to go.
On the men's side
Pat Reina was named
the most valuable
player; Greg Vedel was
the most improved
men's player; while
Daniel Smith was
named the hardest
worker on the men's
team.
"We had a young
team," Moortgat said,
"and we are going to
be even better next

The men's golf
team finished
its season with
the best year of play
since coach Steve
Allgood took over the
program.
"I'm really proud of
the fellows," Allgood
said. "I felt they did an

The team, which
graduated only one
senior, returns six
golfers for next
season. The team
had four freshmen in
its top five golfers.
Freshman Trip
Teaney, from
Winston-Salem, N.C.,
finished the season
with the best stroke
average on the squad.
Teaney averaged 77.8
strokes in 15 rounds of
golf.
Mark Ware, a junior
from Jackson, Miss.,
was honored as one of
the team's top golfers.
At the Huntingdon
Hawk Classic held at
the Lagoon Park Golf
Course in Mon-
tgomery, Ware was
selected to the All-
tournament team after
leading the team to a
third place finish. He
shot a two day total of
146 with rounds of 75
and 71.
At the Marion Golf
Tournament in Marion,
Ga., freshman Lee
Manly, from Clear-
water, Fla., had rounds
of 74 and 78 to lead his
team to a first place
finish. Allgood said it
was the first tourna-
ment that the team
has won outright in
several years.
In the Southern
Junior/Senior tourna-
ment, the team finish-
ed 14 of 21, in the Graf

which was a major win
for the team. They
finished third overall,
and in the Trans-

they finished 7 of 10.

home on Seibert field.
Track Coach Bill
McClure said that prior
to this year none of the
tracksters were ex-
posed to very good
collegiate competition,
but by next year they
would have the ex-
perience they needed
to win track meets.
"Being an athlete is
the best thing that
could have happened
to me,' Dana
McDavid, the
freshman javelin
thrower on the
women's track team,
said. "It makes you a
more all-around
person."

was one of the small
number of women
javelin throwers in the
Southeast. She said to
qualify for the national
NCAA tournament,
she needs a throw of
170 feet 7 inches.
"I really feel that I
have the ability to
throw that far. I
haven't been utilizing
my last five steps
before throwing."
McDavid said.
McClure, who came
to the University in the
fall, said, "This year's
young track team was
a nucleus that could be
built upon for years to
come." □ ., , ... „

In a disappointing
season that showed
only nine wins
against 24 losses, the
women's volleyball
team tried to over-
come some tough
problems.
The group of 13
women was made up
mainly of eight
recruited freshman
who carried the team
through the season.
There were only two
returning players,
Joette Keller and Kim
Duncan, as well as
Beth Woodall who was
returning after a year
out, thus there was no
core group of experi-
enced upperclassmen
to carry the team.
"The girls had no
ability to play together
as a team,'' said Coach
Martha Davidson, "it
was not until the end
of the season that they
started working
together."
"When we finally
started winning the ex-
citement was unbe-
lievable," said junior
Beth Woodall, a
psychology major
from Scotsboro. "We
began to believe in
ourselves and the work
really paid off."
The team did much
more traveling than
before. They tried to
balance their schedule
with an even amount
of home and away
games, but still ended
up with a tough
schedule.
The team had an ad-
vantage in freshman
twin players Heather
and Holly Carr.
The girls, who were
known as the "Carr
Connection," added an
extra twist to the game
as the identical twins
from Largo, Fla.,
managed to confuse
their opponents.
The squad played
experienced teams
from large schools as
well as teams from
smaller schools.
"One of our best
games was against
Troy State," said
freshman Shelia
Galvez of Birmingham.
"We came within two
points of winning
against a very strong
team." She added,
"there were many
times we could've won
had our mental game
been intact."
"We lost to teams
we shouldn't have lost
to," said Davidson,
"but by the end of the
season, we came back
and beat those teams
that we had lost to
before."
The team had a high
skill level, but was very
inexperienced,''
Davidson said.
"They only needed
to overcome the
pressure they were
feeling and learn to
believe in them-
selves."
They had many
teams overcome tal-
ent-wise, yet could not
beat them mentally or
emotionally.
"Our main weak-
ness was that we did
not ever come to-
gether as a team,"
Galvez said.
"We depended a lot
on Susan Parvin, a
freshman setter."
Next year, with ex-
perience and con-
fidence, the team
should be able to con-
quer the opponents
they face.
They are looking at
lots of potential with
seven returning
freshmen Galvez said.
"With what we've
learned, the girls know
they can do it for next
year," Davidson said.

The women's
softball team,
coached by
Martha Davidson and
Theresa Stratton,
made its debut in '86
as the University's
newest intercollegiate
sport.
"We were tenacious
the whole year," said
Coach Davidson, "win-
ning some games that
we shouldn't have."
The team finished
the season with a los-
ing record, but David-
son said the win/loss
record did not indicate
the kind of season
they had.
She also said the
one factor that held
the team back was the
player's lack of ex-
perience. Being a new-
ly organized team re-
quired extra effort
from the players who
had no previous team
member to show them
the ropes. The majori-
ty of the team had
never played fast-pitch
softball.
Pitcher Stephanie
Johnson, one of four
players on scholarship,
had been playing soft-
ball since she was nine
years old . The
freshman from
Maryville, Tenn., said
she felt the team did a
great job to be a first-
year team.
The team only lost
two seniors to gradua-
tion: Kathy Henry, a
pharmacy major, and
Laura McCullough, a
physical education
major. It included four
freshmen: Lori
Glasgow, of Alabaster,
Stephanie Johnson, of
Maryville, Tenn.,
Susan Parvin of
Alabaster and Leya
Petty of Franklin,
Tenn. The team will
try and build on their
talent in years to
come.
Davidson said unity
and unselfishness
seemed to be the
reason for the first-
year program's suc-
cess.
David Rigg
"You don't see
anyone trying to be a
star," said Sports In-
formation Director
Paul South. "Some
members may do
things that cost them a
ball game, but they
shake off mistakes and
pull with each other."
Davidson said that
she had done some
recruiting and planned
to move before the fall
season.
"We're growing and
getting better," David-
son said. "We are real-
ly proud of the girls
and their hard work."

In its first two
games this year the
baseball team lost
to sixth ranked Florida
State 15-1 and 7-1. At
the end of the season,
fifth year coach J.T.
Haywood resigned.
The space in be-
tween held one of the
toughest schedules in
Samford baseball
history. The team had
only 17 home games
while playing 23
games away.
With the tough
schedule, the Bulldogs
did not have many
wins, but the ones that
Coach Haywood
remembers as being
the highlight of the
season are two wins
over Auburn and the
win over sixth ranked
Florida State, both of
whom went on to the
National Collegiate
Athletic Association
tournament at
season's end.
"After the victory,
you would have

just won the World
Series," Haywood said

victory.

The number of
people who par-
ticipated in in-
tramural activities ex-
ceeded 1986 numbers
by hundreds, In-
tramural director
Ralph Gold said.
The intramural field
and the back practice
fields were a constant
buzz of activity as
games were being
played throughout the
year. The gym and the
new student activities
center also saw their
share of students as
the space was used
for basketball and
volleyball games. In-
tramurals were an in-
tegral part of student
activities.
"The year before
this one, participation
was not that high. The
students responded
more positively this
year though, and I feel
it's due to better
organization and
management than
they have had in the
past," Gold said.
"Intramural sports
probably include more
students as a whole
than any of the other
events on campus,"
Gold said.
Gold said he also felt
that students respond-
ed better because
there were more in-
tramural activities.
This season there
were 26 activities in
which students and
organizations could
compete. These in-
cluded, football, soc-
cer, volleyball, tennis,
racquetball, basketball,
badminton and soft-
ball. More than 2,800
students took part in
intramurals in both the
fall and spring.
Teachers also par-
ticipated in intramurals
as many played in the
faculty-senior softball
game on Friday of Spr-
ing Fling week. The
students defeated the
teachers in that
matchup.
There were also
changes in the in-
tramural system.
Teams which par-
ticipated in each event
were fined $10 for not
showing up for
scheduled matches.
They were also fined
the same amount If
they did not provide an
official to referee
another match in the
event.
Gold made other
changes in intramurals
by adding events such
as the Schick Super
Hoop Basketball Tour-
nament in which nine
teams competed.

Gold revived such
events as the Great
Samford Putt-Out,
which began in 1976
and had not been
played since 1980.
Almost 200 people
took part in the fall
and spring putting
tournaments.
He said he would
like to continue to of-
fer the Super Hoop
Contest, the putt-out
and soccer, which was
a successful sport in
the fall.
Gold also said that
he would like to have
co-recreational ac-
tivities for the
students. "I'd like to
see us lean toward
more co-recreational
activities next year
such as tennis and
racquetball. I'd also
like to add some type
of free throw event."
Gold noted several
people who helped
make the intramural
season successful. He
thanked Vice President
for Athletic Ad-
ministration Paul
Dietzel for his help and
support. He said he
appreciated alumnus
Johnny Jones, the
manager of Hoover

for his help in making

of Marsha Pritchett, a
senior physical educa-
tion major from Gulf

Donald Cunningham, a
junior social studies
major from Griffin,
Ga., for the fine job
they did as the in-
tramural supervisors.

of the scores and
generally running the
show. They were re-

supervising. D

<&
s the new year got
underway, another
Covenant Weekend was
planneVJ and implemented in
grandl style. Covenant
Weekend, held September 11-
13, wasl one of many annual
events sponsored by Campus
Ministries Anyone could par-
ticipate b\ simply signing up in
the CampiK Ministries office.
The we«<end was centered
around a femily environment
and settind. Everyone was
assigned tola "family" which
included a "n\om," a "dad" and
other "brothels and sisters." It
was a good opportunity for new
students to \get involved,
almost immediately, in a true
campus activity! New students
were provided \with an im-
mediate support group and
several new frt*»4s>. The
"parents" in each family
upperclassmen who agreed to
provide leadership and orienta-
tion for the new students.
The activities began on
Thursday, when families found
out who was related to whom.
Lured by mysterious clues and
objects, family hopefuls
searched diligently for their
parents and other siblings.
Some families conducted
scavenger hunts while others
just planned meetings or other
ways of finding their groups.
Once the families were
together, individual meetings
were held before a general
meeting of everyone involved
in Covenant Weekend. For din-
ner, the families planned to be
together in the cafe, and then
they attended the evening
Covenant Worship as a group.
The worship service was led
by visiting lecturer, Rev. Ray
Short and students. Rain
threatened the service held in
Seibert Stadium. It held off,
however, until the end of the
service when everyone was
drenched as they scattered to
find shelter.
Later that evening, family
.reunions were held to discuss
theoayifi^events and plans for
the rest of theweekejjd.
On Friday night7
20/20/20 conference was a re-
quired event for the freshman
class. This program was
created as an orientation
process for new students to
become acquainted with cam-
Alan Thompson
pus activities and
organizations.
The program was comprised
of 20-minute presentations
from organizations' represen-
tatives. They served to lure any
parties that were interested in
becoming involved.
Lara Smith, a freshman from
Louisville, Ky., said of the pro-
gram, "I was required to go to
20/20/20 for Freshman Forum
but I ended up enjoying it
anyway. It was very infor-
mative to see all of the different
groups on campus and decide
which ones interested me."
On Saturday, individual
families planned outings
designed to allow them more
time together. They planned
any number of various ac-
tivities to have fun and get to
know each other better. Satur-
day night, another worship ser-
vice was held as Rev. Short
completed his lecture series.
That service was the official
umping to help1
over the
challenges another to a game of

The group performed its first
shows during the Christmas
season by Puppet Caroling at
the Association for Retarded
Citizens, Adopt-a-Kid Day, a
performance at the Galleria,
and a show in the Cafe during
the Hanging of the Green
Christmas dinner.
"There is a sense of satisfac-
tion after doing a show that
can't be described," explained
Julie Evans, a freshman from
Sylacauga.
One of the most rewarding
experiences for the group was
seeing the expressions of the
kids on Adopt-a-Kid Day. The

out and touched the children

Each member was inter-

becoming a member of the
group. The group was made up
of students interested in com-
munity mission work. Ex-
perience was not a prerequisite,
but a willing attitude was.
"It has really gone well to
have been so new and spon-
taneous — I'm really proud of
them," explained Haslam.
The purpose was to present
the gospel. The group con-
sidered themselves successful
as they were able to share the
story of Jesus on several
occasions.

minister to the community was

center cleared out when the
newly-formed families went off
for a day of fun. The program
was so popular that there were
students left over who did not
have children. Activities ranged
from campus exploration to go-
ing to the zoo or grabbing a piz-
za and heading out to the
Galleria.
Cynthia Tidwell and Student
Government President Todd
Crider, took their child, a little
boy known as Poo, to the Birm-
ingham Zoo. They spent the
afternoon indulging in the
snack bar and learning about
the wild animals housed at the
zoo.
"It was a day well-spent,"
commented Tidwell, a senior
international relations major
from Pell City. "We had a
wonderful time, and I think Poo
did us as much good as we did
him."
The "parents" were
immensely as^^th^yshared of

received from sharing myself
for a day was indescribable,"
said Jerrie Lynn Perkins, a
freshman from Griffin, Ga.
The parents were required to
really commit themselves to
more than just an afternoon of
their time, they had to emo-
tionally allow themselves to see
where the kids were coming
from.
Tommy Rohling, a sopho-
more from Trussville, said,
"After seeing excitement in the
kids faces at the things we do
every day, my eyes were open-
ed to appreciate all the things
that I have."
The ARC program, also
sponsored by Campus Minis-

a sophomore education major.

was a welcome interlude
from thel stress and hectic
schedule ol daily events.
Each Wednesday night, a
BSG meeting was held in the
Flag Colonnade Room with an
informal letting, where
students louna ed on the floor or
sat wherever ythey were com-
fortable. The study provided a
time to relax arid enjoy learning
from others' observations.
The meetingslconsisted of a
prayer time, a time for hearing
about the various ministries on
campus, and a time for Bit
study.
The Bible studies were led by
various University professors.
yThey were given a general topic
\o address. Using various
ingles to reach college
students, the speakers were

performances by Koinonia and
Act: 8.
Chris Stearns, a sophomore
religion major from Huntsville
and vice-president of BSG
ministries, said, "We wanted
people to get involved in the
BSG program but we also
wanted them in the local
church — that's what people
need more than BSG."
BSG officers included: Presi-
dent, Danny Courson; Vice-
President, Chris Stearns;
Secretary, Don Palmer.
The BSG Council was made

A I n important element in
/%\tne effectiveness of
Lvampus Ministries was
the der forming group,
Koinonia. The term "Koinonia"
in Greel language stood for
"fellowship." In many cases,
the group! had fellowship on a
lot of ordinary occasions during
practice arid preparation for
its scheduled performances.
This time X together allowed
them to grow as Christians and
it served to deepen their com-
mitment to trie Lord and to His
work. This \ fellowship of
believers led others to join in
worship as they shared the
message of (^hrist through
song.
The group staVted out with
previously choaen director
Laurie Roark, who\jad been the
pianist for the group duTttw^the
preceding year, and former
members as well as some extra
recruits who peformed for in-
terested students during
20/20/20. This program
served to educate incoming
freshmen about the group in
order to acquire interested
singers for their group. These
sessions, held during Covenant
Weekend, added many pro-
spects and the group was ready
to begin its ministry.
Early in the fall semester,
auditions were held to fill the
positions in the group. Ten
singers were chosen. They
were: Karen Grissom, Julie
Ayers, Becky Jacks, Laura
Scott, Pam Edgeworth, Don
Click, Kendall Mullins, Kendall
Davis, Mike Adams and Bruce
Hill.
Membership in the group did
not require that the interested
person be a music major or
minor. It did require, however,
that the student have enough of
a music background to be able
to learn and perform on a
regular basis.
One quality that was
unmeasurable was the desire
willingness of each
memberto,*H<useci by the Lord
whenever and**>ih<tever
necessary. The group wa"5
under the direction of Laurie
Roark, a senior pharmacy ma-
jor from Fort Walton Beach,
Fla. Roark also served as the
1987 Step Sing Director.
She commented, "The group
consisted of many different
personalities and talents, but
they all came together quite
well to praise the name of our
Lord."
Koinonia performed a variety
of music including pop, con-
temporary Christian, spirituals,
and traditional gospel tunes.
They performed at numerous
campus events including Fall
Carnival, Hanging of the Green
and Christian Emphasis Week
services. Quite often, the group
performed out of town.
They performed at a Youth
Rally in Clanton as well as per-
forming in Fort Walton Beach,
Fla. and in Germantown, Tenn.
Many times the group
teamed up with Act:8 to give
their audiences a mixture of
music and drama in their per-
formances. A nursing home
was one of the lucky recipients
of this combination, and the
show was a total success as the
students were able to reach out
to those who needed the)
attention.
In addition, the group pei
formed regularly at churches/n
and around the Birmingh/m
area.
Laura Scott, a freshman/ ac-
counting major, comme/ited,
"It was hard to believe how well
we blended in such a/ short
time. Most of us had a riusical
background of some eort so
picking up the music /vasn't a
problem."

ran away from home.
He was unable to deal
with thfe beatings from his step-
father, problems at school, and
troubleslwith his mom.
"Nobody cared for me ex-

said. Helfled to the French

take in strayiyouths, gave him
a room and such was his life.
After two\ weeks in the
Quarter, Tonylmet two college
students from Birmingham, in
Jackson Square. Before the
night was over.tthese students
showed him howtto start over.
"I prayed anil found out
Christ was the answeX^jpe,"
Tony said.
This March, two students
from the same school stumbled
^upon a man named Jack. Jack
lad been a drunk on the streets
>r more than twenty years.
le students woke him and got
hVn some coffee.
V'Jack said he was 42 but he
looked much older than that,"
claimed one of the students.
When the students left the
French Quarter, Jack was still
on the street.
Tony and Jack are some of
the people who the annual
Louisiana Mission trip reached.
The students stayed at the
Vieux Carre Baptist Church
located one block off Bourbon
Street.
Tony's story was "the bright
spot from last year," said Gin-
ny Bridges, Campus Ministries
director. She organized the trip
for students who wanted to
minister to people during
Spring Break.
Karen Covington, a senior
communications major, told of
her excitement in seeing Tony
again.
"I feel almost like he's a son
to me," she said.
The church was pastored by
RoyntTmptjnes. Ironically, this
minister to drlTnks^ was a
former drunk himself.
He described the students'
efforts as "non-aquaintance
witnessing." Humphries ex-
plained, "at first the students
go through culture shock when
they see just how far a human
Alan Thompson
being can go, then they
become concerned."
After a brief orientation, the
group began planning for wor-
ship services at the church, a
rescue missione and daily con-
certs to be held in Jackson
Square.
The group was divided into a
drama team, a puppet team
and a singing ensemble. Addi-
tionally, the students were
responsible for painting, cook-
ing and cleaning at the church.
"My basic goal in taking
students on a mission trip is to
expose them to needs," said
Bridges, "not that they will
make an impact on the needs
but that the needs will make an
impact on them."
Bridges was touched by the
students' compassion and em-
pathy. "The students viewed
street people not as 'non-
humans,' but as 'somebodies'
who mattered," she said.
Terry Anderson, an educa-
tion major, noted that it would
take more than a week to have]
an impact. He planned to returr
for another summer.
Finally, Humphrey share
the importance of groups Ao
help with the witnessjfig
efforts.
"I would be discouraged if I
was out there by myself/' he
said.
As always, the trip wis life-
changing. It brought new in-
sight and commitment to
everyone who participated and
it paved the way fan another
great trip next SpringBreak. □

choir grew into a con-

real talent to its audiences.
The main ministry of the
choir was in the local churches
where they were asked to per-

sang in convocations on a

ches included not only singing,
but puppets and drama as

Royal and Presidential
were the weddings of July, from
Great Britain to Hyannis Port, Mass.
B
ritain's Prince Andrew married red-
haired English commoner Sarah
Ferguson at Westminster Abbey in a spec-
tacle that mustered the pomp and glory of
Britain's 920-year-old monarchy.
The vivacious young bride was extremely
popular with the British people, and she was
referred to affectionately as "Fergie." An-
drew, Queen Elizabeth's second son and
fourth in line to the throne, made quite a name
for himself with his bachelor love affairs. His
most famous tryst was an affair with "B"
movie star Koo Stark, which attracted the at-
tention of the media and the Queen.
The wedding announcements for the sum-
mer also included that of Caroline Kennedy,
daughter of President John F. Kennedy, and
New York businessman Edwin Schlossberg.
Their wedding was on July 19 in Hyannis Port,
Mass.

Caroline Kennedy, who captured America's heart as a little girl romping through the White House,
married Edwin Schlossberg, a New York businessman and artist.

Waving to the crowds from their ceremonial carriage, Prince Andrew and his redheaded wife Sarah Ferguson leave Westminster Abbey after their July wedding
for a secluded honeymoon tour.
Tennessee's Miss America
raises resentment
Kellye Cash, Miss Tennessee, may
have won the Miss America crown,
but her fellow contestants stole the show
after the ceremony. Miss Cash's play-to-
win attitude, plus the fact her great-uncle is
singer Johnny Cash, made some par-
ticipants more than a little resentful.
Molly Pesce, Miss Florida, and Mary
Zilba, Miss Ohio, were not shy with their
complaints about Cash and favoritism they
felt she received from the judges. Miss
Tennessee, a devout Southern Baptist,
took the complaints all in stride though, by
turning the other cheek. She will still enjoy
her career despite the rather dubious honor
of being called "Miss Clncongeniality."
Associated Kress
Miss Tennessee Kellye Cash, the grandniece of country star Johnny Cash, was crowned Miss America
1987. She received the crown from outgoing Miss America, Susan Akin.
Aviation History Made
Pilots Dick Rutan, 48, and Jeana
Yeager, 34, made aviation history
with their non-stop flight of 23,000 miles
around the world. Aboard the aircraft
Voyager, the experiences of the two were
followed closely.
Designed by Rutan's brother Burt Rutan,
the one-man/one-woman crew took 10
days to make the historic flight.
The flight had always been considered
impossible because no plane was large
enough to carry the amount of fuel
needed for the trip.
Weighted by food, fuel and water, the
Voyager only averaged 1 10 mph during
the trip.
Charles Lindbergh's solo flight across
the Atlantic in 1927 only averaged 107
mph.
Associated Press
Flying at a slow speed across the countryside, the plane Voyager made history with its journey around
the world in 10 days.

Spy Swap
Nicholas Daniloff, Moscow cor-
respondent for U.S. Mews and
World Report, found himself the object
of a U.S. /Soviet prisoner swap after be-
ing arrested for spying by the KGB.
President Reagan agreed to a trade
out of compassion for the reporter being
held in an 8 feet by 10 feet cell in
Moscow. Russian scientist Gennadi
Zakharov, who was being held in
Brooklyn, N.Y., on espionage charges
was the agreed trade for Daniloff. Both
men claimed they had been framed and
were only doing their jobs.

Mets and
Giants
both from New
York, both top
teams
Prior to the 1986 season, the New
York Mets Major League Baseball
team and the New York Giants of the
National Football League had one thing
in common. They both knew how to
avoid championship games at all cost.
But before the year was over, the step-
children of New York earned a double-
dose of respect.
While both teams became the reign-
ing champions in their respective
sports, each took a different route to
victory.
In the sixth game of the World Series,
it appeared the Boston Red Sox would
deny the not-so miracle Mets of a cham-
pionship they were favored to win. The
Mets came to bat in the bottom of the
ninth inning facing a 3-2 deficit and
possible elimination from the Series. To
make matters worse, Boston proceeded
to retire the first two batters leaving
themselves one out away from the
World Series Championship. New York

Mets and Series MVP Ray Knight then re-

championship. Knight stroked a single be-
tween the legs of the Red Sox first
baseman and kept the Mets alive. The
Mets tied the game in the ninth inning and
went on to win 5-3 in the tenth.
The Mets did not waste their second
chance and won game seven to claim the
World Series. The Mets had snatched vic-
tory from the jaws of defeat and thus
became a team of destiny. The Giants, on
the other hand, did not wait so long to
establish themselves as the team to beat in
the NFL.
Bill Parcells' football Giants went on a
rampage in 1986 which included a ten-
game winning streak and a 16-2 record.
The Giants ended the season with a victory
over the Denver Broncos in the mis-
matched Super Bowl XXI. Parcells may
have been covered with Gatorade on
Pasadena's sideline after the game, but
they were drinking champagne in New
York. The Giants returned to the Big Apple
for the celebration and their first cham-
pionship in 30 years.
The Mets and the Giants were certainly
not the only sports heroes America
cheered this past year.

Reputation Hurt by Arms Sales
Associated Press
The central character in the political hearings known as Iranscam or Irangate
proved to be Lt. Col. Oliver North, who refused to testify in court yet seemed to
be taking all the blame for the incident.
Investigation
Continues
Following congressional
restrictions on Contra
funding in 1984,
members of the National
Security Council reportedly
devised a plan to funnel aid to
the Nicaraguan rebel fighters.
However, it was not until last
November that Attorney
General Edwin Meese disclosed
the plan and its link with illegal
arms sales to Iran.
Senate and House commit-
tees both began hearings into
how the profits from the
arms sales were channeled
to IheContras.
Unfortunately, initial in-
vestigations revealed little
because NSC director John
Poindexter and his aide
Oliver North refused to
testify, invoking the Fifth
Amendment. Their refusal
followed their resignations
and the replacement of
White House Chief of Staff
Donald Regan by Howard

Two Arab terrorists stormed Istanbul's main synagogue on September 6, killing more than 20 worshippers with submachine-gun fire. When police arrived, the
terrorist detonated hand grenades and killed themselves.
Terrorist Attacks in East
Only hours after hijakers killed 17
passengers on Pan Am flight 73 in
Karachi last September, masked Arab gun-
ners stalked into an Istanbul synagogue
during a Sabbath service and murdered 20
worshippers. The two terrorist acts served
as a grim reminder that despite the U.S. at-
tack on Libya in April 1986, terrorism was
still alive.
The Middle East, however, was not the
only victim and site for terrorist attacks.
Paris was taken on a terror rampage which
included five bombings in 10 days. The ter-
rorists were not shy either as they bombed
City Hall, Police Headquarters and the
Defense Ministry. The people of Paris
received their own personal lesson of how
an eye for an eye would make the whole
world blind.
Suddenly Sunk
The United States again had to analyze
its role in a foreign war after an Iraqi
jet fired on a U.S. vessel in the Persian Gulf,
killing 37 sailors. The killer attack was im-
mediately followed by apologies and ex-
planations for the tragic error from Iraq's
president.
For the United States though, the
toughest explanations had to come from
the Navy itself. The attacked ship, the USS
Stark, was equipped with its own radar
and should have detected the Exocet
missile. The failure of the ship's system
to protect the crew left the U.S. Navy
with some difficult questions to answer
as it buried its fallen sailors. Relatives
gathered at the ship's home base in May
Port, Fla., can only wonder if their loved
ones will drift into obscurity and join
those who invoke a nation's grief.
Tax Changes
The president signed into law in Oc-
tober the broadest tax overhaul in
a generation. The bill cut taxes for most
workers while paring some prized
deductions and boosting the tax burden
on corporations. Rep. Dan Rosten-
kowski, an Illinois Democrat, headed the
House tax overhaul delegation and Sen.
Bob Packwood, an Oregan Republican
headed the delegation from the Senate.

Quick and Easy Dosage
of killer drug
In December and January, "crack, " a
concentrated form of cocaine usually
smoked, was publicized all over magazines,
newpapers and television news shows.
The problem drug enforcement officials
had with crack was the price. Cocaine in
its traditional powder form was used main-
ly by people in the upper-middle and upper
economic classes because of its expense.
But crack was made accessible to drug-
users of all economic levels when sold on
the streets for as little as $ 1 0.
The media kept up the hype for a while,
but when drug experts started complaining
that the so-called "crack epidemic" was
largely a figment of the media's imagina-
tion, the hype died down.
Associated Press
They call it "crack" on the East Coast and "rock" on the West Coast. Whatever Its name, this refined,
smokable form of cocaine may be the most addictive narcotic sold on the streets of America.

T
he deaths of movie star Rock Hudson

number of cases in the homosexual com-

to residents of the city because of their ef-
fectiveness in keeping the AIDS virus from
spreading during sexual intercourse.

In the midst of
campus activ-
ities and social
life, academics
remained the
core of student
goals. Classes and
studying were a
large part of the life
of a college student,
though to the par-
ents of some it did
not seem that way.
The University of-
fered opportunites
for growth in many
academic areas and
provided a renowned
law school for those
who wished to con-
tinue their studies.
The emphasis was
on computers as
labs were updated
and a complete new
computer system
was introduced.
New Deans and
Vice-Presidents were
brought in to over-
see the departments
and several new
teachers were added
to the faculty.
Dr. Ruric Wheeler
was named the first
University Professor
and was recognized
as the fa'culty
member with the
most published
works.
Fitting important
study time into a
busy schedule
became a part of the
attitude.

Seniors who appreciated the teaching style of Dr. Bowden voted him
Eleata @>i the Olmss
©f the many traditions that
were carried out during
the year, the presentation
of the John H. Buchanan
Award was one of the most important.
This award was first presented in
1965. It was established from a gift by
an anonymous donor as a memorial to
Dr. Buchanan, who was associated with
the Southside Baptist Church of Birm-
ingham. Dr. Buchanan was an excellent
representative of the character of a truly
great teacher and he was well-known
throughout the city as a "good minister
of Jesus Christ." Dr. Buchanan also
served as a long-time trustee to the
University.
The award was annually presented at
the opening convocation of the year.
Lew Amoid The reci-
pient was
chosen
from pro-
f e s s o r s
who were
nominated
by grad-
u a t i n g
seniors.
After voting, the top candidates were
presented to a faculty committee that
discussed and picked the re'cipient. The
1986-1987 recipient of the award was
Dr. Steve Bowden of the religion
department.
In addition to the basic religion
classes and upper-level religion courses
taken by religion majors, Bowden taught
the ethics portion of a Law and Ethics
class offered to mass communication
students. The class addressed issues
that the media faced.
Dr. Bowden graduated from Vander-
bilt University in Nashville, Tenn., and
Southern Seminary in Louisville, Ky.
He has long been a popular teacher
because of his skills in the classroom
and his ability to relate the material
studied to relevant happenings in the
students' world.
He has spoken in University convoca-
tions and was the guest speaker on a
Campus Ministries Retreat held in the
fall of 1984.
He identifies easily with the mind-set
of the students because, as he put it, "I
felt I had been there."
Bowden began teaching because of
his desire to answer the deep questions
that he had asked as a college student.
Although teaching was Dr. Bowden's
most important role, he could also be
found serving as an interim pastor for
various churches throughout the area.
Students were fascinated by his
teaching and they were forced to learn
in an active way.
"Class was fun, but he never lost con-
trol," said sophomore Chris Stearns, a
religion/ human relations major from
Huntsville. Dr. Bowden brought up con-
troversial issues to make the students
examine what they really believed in.
He managed to bring the deep,
unreachable questions to a level where
students could study and digest them.
"He could relate," said Rod Mar-
shall, a senior religion/human relations
major from Fort Walton Beach, Fla. □

Making his point to an ethics class, Dr. Steve
Bowden draws his students into an animated
discussion. Bowden won the respect of students to
the extent that the senior class voted him recipient
of the John Buchanan Award.

seminar rather than a lecture course. The ethics
class he teaches has always been popular
among students.

Freshman Forum
A forum class was added to the curriculum to give students a
Fpeaft start
The course schedule listed
numerous sections of S 101
Forum, otherwise known as
"Freshman Forum." This
course was a new requirement,
but it was clearly not a favorite after its
first semester.
The course was designed to allow
freshmen to become acquainted with
other freshmen in their major area and
to allow them to become familiar with
the University and its resources. This
course also served as a chance to get to
know some of the professors and ad-
ministrators in various areas of the
university.
In some classes, these purposes were
clearly stated and fulfilled. In others,
however, some students never knew
why they were there or what they were
supposed to do.
The students were assigned to classes
based on their major. Various professors
in a variety of schools and departments
were responsible for conducting these
classes.
Undecided students were placed in
classes in which they discussed several
different departments and programs.
Students were assigned projects and ac-
tivities to reinforce their discussions
about various opportunities in their
major.
Activities included: colleges that
represented themselves, interviews with
professors and community
businessmen and women, research of
different companies, etc. Some
teachers gave the students points for
becoming involved in the extracurricular
aspects of the campus. For instance
points were given if a student attended a
football game, an SUT play, Break
Away, or became involved in the Stu-
dent Government Association or cam-
pus publications such as the Entre Nous
or the Crimson. Kelly Trotman, a
Fighting back the yawns, a classroom full
of freshmen concentrate on staying
awake during their freshman forum class.
The class was designed to involve freshmen
in University life.
David Rigg
freshman undecided major from Birm-
ingham, said "I suppose the class was a
good way to learn about the University,
but I didn't enjoy it. Next year's freshmen
should have to take the class, because if 1
had to suffer through it, they should too."
The class, however, was not only about
majors and job opportunities. It was also a
time for students to become acquainted
with other freshmen on campus. For
most students, it was their first time liv-
ing away from home and this served to
help them find some new friends and a
group that they could relate to. These
friendships and commonalities would last
far beyond the time frame of the "borum
forum" that they originally endured.
A final reason for the class was to ac-
quaint freshmen with the University.
Special care was taken to show the
students helpful aspects of the campus
such as the
library, the com-
puter labs and
gymnasium fa-
cilities. This
orientation al-
lowed the
students to feel
more at home in
their new sur-
roundings.
Students
received only
one hour credit
for the class that
could only be
counted as an elective credit. Grades
were determined on a pass/fail system.
David Owenby, a freshman from
Dothan, said, "The course curriculum
needed to be focused on the needs and
issues that are pertinent to the student
and not on the minor influences that
seemed to permeate the material
covered." □

Bomb threats and a fire caused a
great commotion at the law school
during the fall semester. The threats
and the fire spanned a period from October
17 to October 23, and the vandalism took
place November 8.
Law enforcement officials as well as
school officials were reluctant to talk about
the threats and vandalism while they were
still under investigation. One campus
security officer, who refused to give his
name, said, "I can't even talk to you about
it."
Students in the Cordell Hull Law Library
estimated that the first call came around
11:45 on the 17th, with most students in
the building unaware that a threat had been
made. The personnel of the library told
students after the first threat that if any
more occurred that the lights of the library
would be flashed on and off so students
would know when to evacuate the building.
Friday's threat was followed by two
more threats that weekend. One came
around 8:00 Saturday night and the other
at 8:30 Sunday night.
Through all the threats, no actual
damage was done to the building. Then on
Tuesday the 21st a fire, believed to be the
work of an arsonist, was reported in the
ladies lounge outside the law library. At
about 10:15 p.m. Charles Kingsbury, a
Cumberland student discovered a fire in
the ladies lounge when he saw smoke com-
ing from under the lounge door. He said
that three hotplates and an oven had been
"turned on as high as they would go with
some plastic styrofoam stretched across
them." Kingsbury said that the fire was
"obviously deliberately set. The flames
were just inches from the ceiling."
David Rigg
Kingsbury used water from a nearby
sink to put out the flames he estimated
at being about four feet high. The
Homewood Fire Marshall viewed the fire
as first-degree arson. One represen-
tative of the fire department said, "It
was kind of doubtful that anyone was
about to cook, and this kind of arson,
depending on the judge, could get you
up to 20 years in jail."
Fire department officials would not
comment on the relationship between
the bomb threats and the fire, but did
not rule out a connection between the
two. All was quiet at the law school for
one day anyway. On Thursday,
however, another bomb threat was
called in. Gail Hardy, a law school
employee received two calls at work
Thursday.
The first
said "the
fireworks
are going
to start at
12:30
(p.m.),"
and the
second call
came
about 10 minutes later and said we "had
better get out of the building." The
whole building was evacuated, except
for one class where the professor just ig-
nored the alarms and kept on lecturing.
When asked about the threats, one
law student said, "You're not going to
get anybody to talk about it up here."
No bomb was found, but the
Homewood Police and the FBI in-
vestigated all the incidents.D

Visiting teachers gave students a chance to take new classes and see a
nnBB| wo teachers that conducted
y I ||U classes on campus this year
™"J were not a part of the regular
University faculty. Dr. Bob Crider and
Susan Silvernail, gave students a break
from the professors they were used to
learning from and provided variety in the
classroom.
Dr. Crider, a full-time missionary to
Spain, and father to University students
Stephanie and Todd Crider, taught a class
in Spanish history.
The class which was held during the
two-week Jan term period dealt with the
political development of Spain, the
geography of the country and the social
and religious movements of the popula-
tion. Catholicism in Spain was studied
because of the
great effect it
had on the
history of the
country.
Junior Sally
Johnson, a
history major
from Florence,
said, "The class
was really com-
prehensive and
very interesting.
He managed to
pack enough information into those two
weeks as we would get in a regular
semester."
The class was made up of history
David Rigg
students and political science majors.
They formed groups to discuss the
history and do role play. They also did
map exercises and tried to solve
Spanish civil war problems.
The 20 students who made up the
class enjoyed the expertise of a teacher
who currently lived in the country they
were learning about.
Another teacher who brought per-
sonal experience and knowledge into
the classroom was WBRC-TV Channel 6
producer, Susan Silvernail.
Silvernail taught an introduction to
broadcasting class for journalism/ mass
communication students. The class,
held from 6:00 to 9:00 on Tuesday
nights during the fall semester, gave
students a history of broadcasting and
the directions it is taking in the 1980s.
The class took a tour of the Channel 6
newsroom, and sat in during the broad-
casting of the 10 p.m. news, in addition
to their regular classroom activities.
They also had the benefit of hearing
speakers who were experts on the dif-
ferent fields they were studying.
The class was just as educational for
me," said Silvernail. "I learned from
them, they gave me a real education."
The students who took the three hour
class each did a paper on some aspect
of the business. The class presentations
gave the class an even greater
knowledge of what was open to them in
the field of broadcasting. □ -Haiiie von Hagen

Students in the music school put in hours of practice in order to make
Swttt Not!
hhmh| he John H. Buchanan School of
■J I |y Music was another growing
■£| aspect of University success.
In the fall, the school experienced the
largest freshmen class ever. These
freshmen were spread throughout various
sections of the school. Voice teachers
averaged around 17 freshmen students.
The school received a donation from the
estate of Myrtle Jones-Steele to establish
an endowment fund. The sum of $15,000
was bequeathed for the fund. In the future,
the income from this amount will be
presented to a piano-organ student who
will be designated as the Jones-Steele
recipient.
The music activity hour, commonly
known as "Happy Hour," was a weekly
David Rigg e V e n t .
Students had
the opportuni-
ty to perform
in front of
their teachers
and peers.
The time was
a vital part of
the music
students' education. In addition to student
performances, faculty, guest artists and
other groups performed on a regular basis.
Many students saw this time as useless
and a waste. The words "Happy Hour"
were used by many as a sarcastic way to
describe the Thursday afternoon time
that was a required event. Those who had
the nerve- rackingjob of performing
before their teachers and classmates cer-
tainly did not consider the hour "happy. ' '
Others, however, saw the opportunity as
a good time for learning.
Another trying episode for music
students came during exam time when
the teachers held juries. Students were
graded on their performances and the ex-
perience was a difficult period for
students who tried hard to hit just the
right notes.
The Sam ford Opera Workshop in-
volved several students and faculty
members. They presented The Pirates of
Penzance . Professor Randall Richarson
sang the tenor lead in this production,
and Dean Martha Ann Cox made a cameo
appearence to the delight of the
audience.
The University Chorale and other
music students were honored when they
appeared int he Civic Centerwiththe
Alabama Symphony Orchestra in their
spring production of Turandot .
This school became a family as they
spent most of their time in class or with
each other. They were a very tight-knit
group. The school was proud of its
students and the education they provided
them. As always, the attitude of ex-
cellence was the force behind the effort.

Helping with injuries in athletic events, sports medicine majors are more than just
a
thletic training is the preven-
tion, care, treatment and
rehabilitation of athletic in-
juries. On campus and on the field,
athletic training has been a serious
business. Gnder the supervision of Head
Athletic Trainer Chris Gillespie and
Assistant Athletic Trainer Ed Harris,
Bulldog athletes received top-notch
medical care.
Gillespie and Harris, along with stu-
dent athletic trainers Kent Duncan, An-
dy Plemons, Katie Marcum, Laura Mc-
Cullough, Tom Berger, Don Pardue,
Robie Ragland, and Andy Withrow of-
fered medical coverage to all inter-
collegiate sports programs. A staff of
dedicated physicians, headed by Dr.
Earle Riley, worked with the athletic
training program in order to help
athletes stay as healthy as possible so
that they might perform to the best of
their abilities.
A new athletic training facility was
opened in August 1986. The facility in-
cluded space for taping and splinting, a
physician's examination area, treatment
area, rehabilitation area, hydrotherapy
room and the head athletic trainer's of-
fice. The facility offered state-of-the-art
treatment modalities and rehabilitation
equipment.
A curriculum in athletic training was
offered in the Health, Physical Educa-
tion, and Recreation Department. The
athletic training facility was used in this
curriculum so that students could gain
much needed practical experience.
Young aspiring trainers could gain a
quality education in the classroom as
well as in the athletic training room.
This program was designed to help pro-
mote athletic training as a career and to
put qualified athletic trainers into the job
market. □

^m^^I omputer Services, located on
mjH ^ the third floor of Samford
^mmpr Hall, began moving last
semester and completed the transition
in March, said Richard Duncan, director
of Computer and Telecommunications
Services.
The offices and staff that occupied
roughly 6,000 square feet were ex-
panding to about 10,000 square feet in
Brooks Hall, Duncan said.
With the addition of terminals in each
teachers' office, the University system
was progressively converting to a new
IBM compatible mainframe called
AMDAHL. This system would be able to
use any and all programs of an IBM
computer.
The move will not inconvenience
students since the registration process
will also be converting to a system that
can be completed in their adviser's of-
fice, Duncan explained. Students will
ultimately have the advantage of linking
a terminal into the mainframe with a
telephone modem, whether they live in
a dorm or an apartment off-campus.
Once the Honeywell mainframe
system, which was then being used, was
converted to IBM, it was sold. The com-
plete process took almost a year.
As of last fall, the Gniversity had four
computer labs for the students and the
faculty to use. They were located in the
Journalism/Mass Communication
department, business and law schools
and Brooks Hall. Each lab had 16-18
terminals.
Duncan said the new computers have
"much more capacity on the larger
system.'' The Honeywell only had 125
terminals whereas the IBM will have
600-800.
Brooks Hall was chosen because it
was "the only space on campus to bring
the people and offices together on one
floor,'' Duncan said. "We're not using all
the space, some will be left to expand in-
to as we implement the rest of the
CATS study."
The new location was also used as the
Astronomy observatory. Duncan said
students will have the same access to
the observatory. The only changes
noticed will be the remodeling into an
office area and a new storage room for
the astronomy equipment.
All of the changes; computer labs,
teachers' office terminals and a new
mainframe were the result of a complete
and thorough study called CATS Long-
range Plan.
The com-
plete im-
plement-
ation of the
study will
take three
to five
years.
Duncan
also said that the giant steps now being
taken will put us ahead of most univer-
sities our size and larger in the country.
"We want students to come out ahead
of their peers at other schools and be an
expert in whatever field they choose to
study, whether it be history, law,
physics or journalism.
CATS was designed to educate and
improve the literacy of students, to
'"give them a little bit of an edge," Dun-
can said □

The fall production of Dr. Faust us offered students
Btl
=!l
or six nights, a man was hound-
ed by the Devil himself. He was
eventually cast into the pit of Hell
as onlookers sat by and did nothing to help
him. Actually, most of them applauded un-
til their hands were raw.
Fortunately, all of this occurred in a play,
although it was so realistic, so powerful,
that at times the audience had trouble
remembering that it was only acting.
The play was Dr. Faustus, by Goethe,
and for six nights it held audiences cap-
tivated with the story of a man who made a
deal with the Devil himself, and paid the
ultimate price.
Two different aspects of the play com-
bined to make it an unforgettable perfor-
mance — the set and the acting. Both of
David R>99 these com-
ponents are im-
portant in any
play yet they
were often taken
for granted and
only noticed
when one or the
other appeared
unprofessional
and inadequate.
Not so in this
case. The two
meshed perfect-
ly to create a grim, forboding atmosphere;
the perfect setting for the tragic story of
Faustus.
The stage was draped with dark cover-
ings and odd figures. Special effects in-
cluded explosions and smoky screens.
Stage manager Greg Patterson said,
"Because of the nature and complexity of
the show, we all laughed when the choice
of Dr. Faustus was announced. But after
the show was over, we realized that we
had staged a production that most
universities would never consider
doing."
Dr. Faustus was the story of a man
filled with pride in the amount of
knowledge he had attained. In his in-
satiable quest for power, Faustus turned
to the black arts and learned the secrets
of sorcery. Using his newly discovered
power, he summoned the Devil's hen-
chman, Mephistopholes, and willingly
sold his soul to become a master
sorcerer. However, Faustus was only
allowed a certain period of time in which
to practice his arts, and when that time
had elapsed, the Devil claimed him; tur-
ning a deaf ear to Faustus' pleas for
mercy and more time.
There were only two major roles in
Dr. Faustus : the title character was
brought to life in a brilliant performance
by Jeff Gilliam, and Dan Neil was equal-
ly electrifying as Mephistopholes. There
were roughly 40 other roles in the play,
none of which was very large; however,
since the director wanted a small cast,
the remaining actors each took on six or
seven different roles.
Other cast members included: Penny
Edwards, Peggy Barker, Wayne Patter-
son, Eddie Lightsey, Nellie Campbell,
Nicole Vanoy, and Marty Johnson.
Rather than feeling intimidated by the
difficulty of presenting such a play, cast
members threw themselves into the
task. The result was six nights of sparkl-
ing entertainment for students as well as
the community at large.D

The appearance of Schultz favorites filled the stage with an abundance of
GomlG OtfeMPMrt©?
HflaiWBllfl| ^e SCIT's production of
I -You- re A Good Man
Charlie Brown " marked
^«J many firsts for those
involved.
The show represented the first time
theatre students produced their own
musical on the main stage. Past musicals
had been a combined venture of the School
of Music and the theatre department.
According to Harold Hunt, head of the
department of Speech Communication and
Theatre, the department tried to offer a
variety of shows to go from the "classics
like we did in Dr. Faustus to the more
modern and uplifting type, like Charlie
Brown." Hunt said he believes it will be a
good change for the students.
Alumna Carole Armistead, who was mak-
Dav,dR,gg ing her debut
as a director,
agreed. "With
Charlie
Brown placed
between two
heavy shows
it made it
seem that
much fresher
and gave it an aliveness," she said.
The show, written by Clarke Gesner, was
based on the comic strip by Charles
Schultz. It brought to life six of the major
comic characters: Charlie Brown, Linus,
Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Schroeder and
Snoopy.
Peggy Barker who portrayed Lucy, said,
"The show was not an easy one to do. The
whole show was little moments, the things
you don't appreciate that make children
happy."
Armistead, a veteran of the stage who
performed in numerous Samford pro-
ductions as well as Birmingham's Town
and Gown Theatre, said the show took a
new approach, right down to the look
and feel of the set.
Greg Patterson, who took on his first
role as a set designer, backed up what
Armistead said. "The whole stage was
made to look abstract like a child had
cut it (the scenery) out and done it for
himself," he said.
"Of course this show couldn't be
done realistically anyway. For example,
you couldn't have a real dog playing
Snoopy, so we decided to make it very
abstract," Patterson said.
"This show was not to have a deep
meaning to the audience," Armistead
said, "most people don't have the
courage to let out their emotions, so
they go to the theatre to see
themselves."
Barker agreed, "everbody sees part of
themselves in these characters. The
best thing about the whole play was that
you saw every child in it."
According to cast member Shawn
Harden, "each character had his own lit-
tle niche, which set him apart from the
others."
Paul Johnson, who played Lucy's
younger brother Linus, added "Linus
was a young Thomas Edison, he thinks
a lot, that's what sets him apart from
the others."
Jeff Gilliam, who portrayed Charlie
Brown said, "it's fun just to get up there
and have a good time and know others
are tOO." D -Eddie Lightsey

The Ballad of the Sad Cafe

1POSI.3IO MOXffe.%E1.tSl
_!!___ he final theatre produc-
I tion of The Ballad Of The
■J J Sad Cafe closed the
Ji| season in a dramatic way.
The play, written by
Edward Albee, was based on the novella
written by Carson McCulla, and was
performed in Harrison Theatre on April
23-28.
The play centered around the tom-
boyish figure of Miss Amelia. She
dressed in jeans and cowboy boots and
always commanded the utmost respect
of the townspeople. No one called her
anything but "Miss Amelia."
She owned a local store which
developed into a cafe that became the
central meeting place for all the
townspeople.
The small country town located on
the Georgia-Alabama border was full of
a host of interesting characters. From
gruff Miss Amelia, conservative Henry
Macy, and nosy Emma Hale to the
outspoken Rainey twins, outlandish
Cousin Lymon and intriguing Marvin
Macy, the audience could identify with
the small-town characters. The set was
a dull and dreary one centered around
the small room that made up Miss
Amelia's cafe. The cast of townspeople
moved on and off the stage and in and
out of Miss Amelia's life.
The story was told by narrator Peggy
Barker, who through flashbacks, tried to
answer the question put by Cousin
Lymon and the audience of: Who is
Marvin Macy?
The story explains the 10-day mar-
riage of Marvin Macy and Miss Amelia,
their separation and the return of Macy
to destroy the cafe. Memorable
performances included that of Henry
Macy, played by Paul Johnson, who was
really in love with Miss Amelia and often
was embarrassed by his brother's rude
actions.
The hit of the play was the character of
Cousin Lymon played by senior Eddie
Lightsey. The whining, wheedling little
man was the only living relative of Miss
Amelia and he sided with Marvin Macy to
destroy her.
The part of Cousin Lymon was expertly
interpreted by Lightsey. Constantly cackl-
ing and chewing his fingernails as nervous
habits, his character had the audience
waiting to see what outlandish thing he
would do or say next. Lightsey received an
award for best actor for his portrayal of the
character. Other awards were given to
Jeff Gilliam, for best actor; Nichole Vanoy
for best actress; Peggy Barker, for best
supporting actress and Paul Johnson, for
best supporting actor.
T, ,, r David Rigg
The climax of
the action came
in a bitter fight
between Marvin
Macy and Miss
Amelia. The
fight seemed to
be going Miss
Amelia's way
when Cousin
Lymon stepped
in to help Macy,
who severely
beat Miss Amelia and left her to die on
Main Street.
Macy and Cousin Lymon left town and
Miss Amelia retreated inside her cafe and
never reopened it. The town soon died and
Miss Amelia became only a face in the
storehouse window and a legend to the
people of the town. □

Gathered on a typical night in the cafe, the
townspeople watch the drama that unfolds
as Henry Macy informs Miss Amelia that his
brother Marvin Macy is coming back home.
Henry Macy (above) ponders over the happen-
ings that have brought his unruly brother back
to town. The loss of the cafe as a meeting place for
the townspeople causes great concern.

From making monetary decisions to student affairs, the trustees and President Corts are
RmEumtmor tit* S&lw
ovember 9, 1983 marked
the inauguration of Presi-
dent Thomas Corts. He
succeeded retiring Presi-
dent Leslie S. Wright for
the University's highest office. Since that
historic day, Corts has made quite an im-
pact on students, faculty, administration
and the Birmingham area as a whole.
He established the London Study Centre,
which this year boasted the highest stu-
dent attendance, and last summer arranged
a similar program in the People's Republic
of China.
Corts was also responsible for an in-
crease in endowment since his arrival at
the University, rising from $7.7 million in
1983 to a present amount of nearly $30
million.
Corts car-
ried out a
vigorous pro-
gram of cam-
pus renova-
t i o n and
beautification
that made it
the source of
countless
praise by people driving by the Lakeshore
entrance. Freshman enrollment has gone
up 43 percent, with this year's class being
the largest in University history.
The most talked about step Corts made,
and the most controversial one, was the
agreement with Trammell Crow Co. to
develop the land across from the campus
into a $150 million office project. This
David Rigg
would bring an immeasurable amount of
revenue to the school, and make it an
even more integral part of Homewood
and Birmingham.
The support for the development of the
land into a Planned Mixed Use District
was approved by the Homewood City
Council by a narrow vote of 420-371.
Homeowners threatened to "take Corts to
court" and began labeling themselves "an
endangered species."
The athletic department certainly saw
better days with a turnover of four
coaches and Athletic Director Paul
Dietzel's resignation all happening within
three months. Many felt Corts over-
stepped his bounds of authority, and
forced the departure of the men, but en-
dowment for the athletic program still
held strong support from alumni groups.
To students, the most obvious achieve-
ment was the new Beeson Woods
residential housing. What students
started calling "the country club" was
tremendously successful, so much so
that Phase II of the project was near com-
pletion, ready to be occupied in the
summer.
The year for Corts was a trying one.
But when weighing the good with the bad,
it would seem the man who once said he
wanted to make people say Birmingham
and think of Samford and say Samford

After long, hectic
hours of rush
workshops, skit
practices and frantic
preparation, the night
anxiously awaited by all
involved with sorority
rush arrived. For the
sisters, their hard work
had paid off with an ex-
citing group of pledges,
and for the rushees an
emotional week was
over, and a semester of
pledgeship had begun.
The sororities plann-
ed, practiced and
prayed for many mon-
ths to make their rush
week successful. The
careful organization and
strong leadership made
each sorority proud of
its achievements during
rush, and Squeal night
was a time to display
new pledges and relax
after an exhausting
week.
"As a member of
Panhellenic Council my
week was very hectic,
but I have seen
freshmen find the girls
they will call their
sisters for the next few
years, and that is worth
all the time and
energy," said senior
Pam Mizzell.
Nervous girls draped
in solid white, hovered
around the Student
Center and overflowed
into Pittman circle to
find out which sorority
they would pledge.
As the first girls
entered the Red and
Blue lounge, another
noticeable group of peo-
ple interested in the
girls' antics start gather-
ing. Guys from Pittman
and C.J. were hanging
around the edges of the
circle watching
Panhellenic and rushees
extend and receive
those little slips of paper
called "bids." The guys
formed a line for the
squealing girls to run
through as they attemp-
ted to find their sorority
room in the maze of Vail
dorm.
As the last bids were
given out, and pledges
were matched with their
new sisters, the clap-
ping and singing died
down and the new
pledges were whisked
off to party the night
away.
The Squeal parties
were the highlight of
rush week. They were
held off campus and
pledges were treated
like queens, receiving
paraphernalia as well as
being honored and in-
troduced into their new
group of friends.
The name "Squeal"
came from the noise
made by a group of ex-
cited rushees finding a
sorority home. It was a
fitting description for
the emotions experi-
enced by the new
pledges on one of the
most exhilarating nights
of the year. □

All I know is
that yesterday
when I walked
out of my room, I saw
a guy with a weird-
looking hat on and
twelve girls around
him, and I wondered
where I could get one
of those hats!" said
freshman Rod Fuller,
who was getting his
first taste of Derby
Days.
Sigma Chi's annual
competition was held
in October, and
featured a variety of
events in which
sororities strived to
win a $200 check for
their chosen charity as
well as a trophy.
The week de-
manded a great deal of
time, effort and money
from the participants.
Thus, many felt that
the week was too long,
too expensive, and too
time consuming, but
the overall attitude
was one of excitement
and hearty participa-
tion in the games.
Events took place
throughout the week
of competition. Some
atjte^
of the games were
popular ones returning
from the previous year,
and others were com-
pletely new.
The derby snatch that
kicked off the week at-
tracted the most atten-
tion. Sigma Chi's were
seen frantically dashing
from building to building
trying to protect their
derbies.
The classrooms were
off limits to would-be der-
by snatchers, and thus
bands of determined
females concealed
themselves outside the
doorways in order to at-
tack an unsuspecting
male as he left the safety
of indoors. Some males
were even chased into the
fountain as they tried to
retain their headgear.
Other events included
the "Mr. Legs" competi-
tion won by senior Larry
Yarborough and "Derby
Darlin" won by Chi
Omega sophomore
Melanie Pennington.
The winners were
determined by how much
change was collected in
the jars that represented
each sorority.
"Make A Sig Smile,"
the room decorating con-
test, the change contest,
derby hunt, skits, and
events day were all part
of the competitions.
Many believed that the
week involved a sense of
unnecessary competition
between the sororities in-
stead of a feeling of unity.
"It seems to me that
tackling guys and placing
large bills in opponent's
jars just to make them
lose is a bit much," said
sophomore Charles
Callaway.
Yet, Derby Days have
been, as Edith Foster put
it, "a big deal" at most
universities.
Some people felt the
lack of participation by
other fraternities was a
problem. However, the
other fraternities seem to
have no desire to join in
the derby festivities.
As Pi Kappa Phi Bruce
Stallings said, "honestly,
when it comes down to it,
this week will come and
go and I'll never know the
difference."
Those who did know
the difference, however,
were the people and
charities helped by the
$3,000 that Sigma Chi
raised.
The money from the
change contests and car
wash was donated to
Sigma Chi's national
philanthropy The
Wallace Village for
Children, as well as the
various philanthropies
of the individual
sororities.
Chi Omega was
awarded' $200 for rack-
ing up the most points,
Alpha Delta Pi came in
second and won $150,
Zeta Tau Alpha recieved
$75, ind Delta Zeta and
Phi Mu won $50 and
$25, respectively, for
their fourth and fifth
place finishes.
Although problems
did exist, Sigma Chi felt
that the good resulting
from their effort was
enough to continue the
games next year.

April 13-16 the
Greeks came
together with a
common goal, money
for World Hunger. In-
stead of the usual days
chock-full of games and
intense competition the
emphasis was placed on
being together and help-
ing others. The week
was a rainy, but fun-
filled, unity-building
celebration for the
Greek population.
Chi Omega Melanie
Pennington and Sigma
Chi Brad Williams co-
chaired the committee
and planned all the
events.
The members of
Panhellenic were look-
ing for someone
trustworthy and depen-
dable to provide the
leadership for Greek
Week, said Mary Kay
Hill, Panhellenic advisor.
"When Melanie's
name came up, there
was a lot of agreement
about it," Hill said.
The IFC was equally
pleased with its choice.
"Brad is very involved,
and he gets along with
members of all frater-
nities," said IFC director
Tim Hebson.
Pennington and
Williams set three goals
for the week. "We want
to unify the Greeks on
campus, get the Greeks
and faculty involved
together and also to
raise money for World
Hunger," Williams said.
According to Hill,
over $270 was raised
during the week from
admission to some
events, proceeds from
T-shirt sales and raffle
tickets.
The Greek Olympics
played a major role in
creating unity among
the organizations. For
each event, a different
fraternity and sorority
were paired together.
The Greek Olympian
award went to Chi
Omega Angel lkner for
her "incredible hula-
hooping ability," said
Pat Eddins, Olympic
coordinator. Sigma Nu
Tom Guthrie won the
"least likely to make it
to the 1988 Olympics"
award. Thus, the focus
was changed from
which Greek group
could come out on top,
to just fun and games.
Sigma Chi Chase
Ezell said, "The weather
has been a definite
minus factor, but I think
the people who have
come have really en-
joyed it."
"I know the word
unify has been thrown
around a lot, but you
know it's really been
true," said Alpha Delta
Pi Jorja Hollowell. "I've
never done anything
with the Pikes, and
they're great — I've had
a blast."
Other events of the
week included sending
an apple to your favorite
teacher, a pool party
held on Tuesday night, a
Greek worship service
on Wednesday night
featuring the Greek
choir and a block par-
ty/cookout which
rounded out the week.
The cookout, held in
the parking lot above
the tennis courts, was
attended by around 200
Greeks and the band
Publik Nuisance played
for the crowd.
Williams saw the
week as a "place to
start. We want to get
some traditions
started," he said.
"What we're trying to
do is build it and make it
bigger and better each
year."
"For the most part
we had good participa-
tion," Hill said. "Overall,
I was pleased with the
week."
"We learned a lot this
year, such as it takes
longer to cook out for
300 people than for two
or three," said Lambda
Chi cookout co-chair-
man Craig Chapin.
"But once we got it
going, the crowd was
great, and the band add-
ed a fun air to the
night."
"The whole week was
a success," said Chapin.
"If the Greeks would
band together year
'round like they have
this week, we would
have a lot less problems
and a lot more fun." □

at the Greek Pageant.

composed and sung by
Alpha Delta Pi sisters as
well as a variety of
entertainment from
other groups.
Doug Moore and
Janice Thompson
hosted the event. Moore
was 1986 Greek God
and Thompson was
1985 Greek Goddess.
Melanie Pennington
and Brad Williams, co-
chairpersons of Greek
Week announced the
goals of the week during
the pageant which
opened the weeks
events.
According to
Williams, "The goals are
to create better unity
between the organiza-
tions, to strengthen the
ties between the Greeks
and the faculty and ad-
ministration and to raise
money for World
Hunger."
The winners were
judged on scholarship
and leadership. On the
night of the pageant the
girls were judged in an
evening gown competi-
tion and in sportswear.
The girls who were
selected to be the top 10
were asked a question
about different aspects
of University life and
how it could be better.
Their answers were part
of the judging process.
There was no talent

The year began
with a hectic
week of Rush.
The time of excite-
ment, anticipation,
and nervousness had
come again and the
sisters of Alpha Delta
Pi jumped into the ac-
tivities with both feet.
This year Alpha
Delta Pi used a new
rush skit titled
"Toyland." It proved
to be extremely suc-
cessful for them, for
when all the squeals
had died down AAI1
had pledged quota and
they were very excited
about their pledge
class.
The Ronald Mc-
Donald House, a na-
tionally recognized
home for parents and
families of critically ill
children, received
hours of donated time
and effort from the
sisters. Saturdays were
designated as work
days at the local
Ronald McDonald
House. In addition to
their physical work,
the sisters also do-
" Working together and
forming friendships with
100% effort. "
Virginia Barnes
nated money to the
house. Ronald McDonald
House was the national
Philanthropy for Alpha
Delta Pi.
Homecoming was an
exciting time and the
AAIl's found themselves
very much in the thick of
things. They were full of
Bulldog spirit and they
became very involved in
the competitive activi-
ties. They won the Float
Competition as well as
the Overall Spirit Com-
petition. Ginger Hill
served as the freshman
Homecoming attendant
and senior Kim Thornhill
was crowned Homecom-
ing Queen.
44 Different, yet uniquely
matched personalities
bound together as one. "

The Kappa
Chapter received the
Diamond Four Point
Award. This was a
National AAI1 honor
based on chapter
scholarship, ac-
tivities and participa-
tion. The Kappa
Chapter was also
recognized as having
the highest GPA of
national chapters.
Step Sing proved
to be the crowning
jewel for the sisters.
Their theme was
"Singing in the Rain"
and the sisterhood
wore yellow rain
slickers and danced
with white umbrellas.
The blend of sound
and choreography
impressed the
judges. For the third
consecutive year,
they received the
coveted Sweep-
stakes Trophy.
"We really learned
what sisterhood was
all about," said Belin-
da KirCUS. □ Rachel Pin-

When school
began in
September,
the Sisters of Chi
Omega set out to
prove something.
They set goals that
were the most at-
tainable for their group
and they began to
reach for those goals
in a big way.
Rush was the first
big activity of the year
and it went well for the
sisters. The group
pledged quota. This
achievement was sig-
nificant because of the
number of girls that
went through rush and
the higher quotas set
for this year. One of
those pledges, Laura
Wolfe, was chosen to
represent the pledges
of Sigma Chi as their
Pledge Class
Sweetheart.
The Derby Days
competition was
another way to start
the year off right. Xfl
won first place overall
in the competition
44 A home away from home. "
-Amy Samuels
sponsored by Sigma Chi
Fraternity. This accom-
plishment was a major
step toward the ultimate
goal that Chi Omega set
out to attain.
During the year, the
sisters made special ef-
forts to highlight the Xft
men. They sponsored an
appreciation week to
honor them.
The excitement of Step
Sing swept this group
away as they sought to
gain more campus rec-
ognition. One night in
practice, however, the
thoughts went far beyond
the campus itself. As with
long practices and wear-
iness, the focus turned to
44 Crazy times with lots of
love. "
■Fran Adkinson
the Lord and His
power within the
group.
The Xft's proved
their point in many
ways throughout the
year. They reached
their goal of more
campus recognition
and they were well on
their way to bigger
and better goals.
The Executive Of-
ficers were: President
-Lisa Compton;
Vice-President -Gerri
Brock; Secretary-
Sandy Chastain;
Treasurer -Teresa
Clark; Pledge Trainer
-Celeste King; Per-
sonnel -Robin
Butscher.
The group had
something to prove
and they did what
was necessary to
achieve their goals.
From winning Derby
Days to participation
in intramurals, the
Chi Omegas were an
integral part of the
Greek system and the
campus in general. □

Growing through-

ta Zeta sisters set
out to make a name for
themselves.
The group prided it-
self on their individuality
in all areas, Sisters
served as student gov-
ernment officers and on
committees.
Marsha Pritchett was
the women's intramural
co-ordinator, Hallie Von
Hagen was editor of the
Entre Nous and Amelia
DeLoach, served as co-
py editor for the Crim-
son.
Janine Smith was
fourth runner-up in the
Miss Entre Nous pag-
eant, and Sharon Donal-
son was a finalist in the
Greek Goddess pageant.
Hope Haslam was
elected Campus Minis-
tries president and Sally
Johnson was voted chief
of the Student Judiciary
Board. Brenda Pritchett
was a varsity cheerlead-
er, and pledges Steph-
anie McDonald and Jen-
nifer McWilliams were
J.V. cheerleaders.

the dance line. Several
44 Learning to work with
people who are different,

sisters were chosen to
represent different frater-
nities as little sisters.
Amid all this activity,
the sisterhood stressed
grades as an important
part of college days. This
paid off when the sister-
hood was given the
Scholarship Award at
Province Day as the most
outstanding scholastic
chapter in Alabama. Sis-
ter Susan Sheffield re-
ceived the honor of hav-
ing the highest GPA of
any Delta Zeta in the
province.

also received the panhel-
44 Being a part of the group

lenic award for having
the highest GPA at the
University.
These girls did more
than study however, as
a social calendar kept
them busy. The fall
Pledge Bash, in which
every girl anonymous-
ly invited two guys,
gave the sisterhood a
wealth of partners to
dance with and made
the evening a success.
Sisters also held an
"after Step-
Sing"party, a hayride,
a fall semi-formal and
a spring formal.
As a philanthropic
project, the group
made pre-telephon
phone calls to help out

One of the most
talked about
events on cam-
pus took place during
fraternity Rush. It was
the Lambda Chi Alpha
Caveman Party and it
really started the year
with a bang!
This was a time for
new and old students
to let loose and fulfill
their "prehistoric"
natures.
The fun and excite-
ment that followed this
party was important
during Rush Week
because the main goal
of the brothers was to
get a good pledge class
that was sure to be in-
itiated. They fulfilled
these goals by pledg-
ing and initiating an
exceptional associate
class.
The Lambda Chi
Alpha service project
was a particularly suc-
cessful endeavor. It in-
volved a canned food
drive.
The brothers and
associates distributed
grocery bags through-
out the community ex-
". . . Forming a friendship in
a brotherhood that enables
me to receive the most from
my college days. " -Scott Myers
plaining their purpose
and soliciting help. They
asked for volunteers to
find ways to fill the bags
with basic canned foods.
Some volunteers filled the
bags themselves while
others involved their
family, neighbors and
friends in the project.
The brothers later re-
turned to pick up the
bags that had been filled
by the volunteers. Over
one-third of the distrib-
uted bags were filled and
returned. The collected
food was donated to the
Jimmy Hale Mission.
Step Sing proved to be
a winning proposition for
the brothers. They were
. . the associate class that
I became a part of had the
very best guys in the
freshman class. "
•Todd Kimbroughi
the recipients of the
award for the "Most
Entertaining Show."
This was a new
award in the annual
event.
Their show focus-
ed on the United
States Armed
Forces. It had an
original beginning
and was a real crowd
pleaser. It was
something that any
fan of Gomer Pyle or
M*A*S*H could
relate to.
One special aspect
of the fraternity was
its inner organization.
John Reece, the
presiding president,
focused on a re-
building effort within
the brotherhood.
The committee
system became a big
plus to the effort. It
remained strong
throughout the year
and was a main fac-
tor in the brothers'

The brothers of

changed some
attitudes with their ac-
tions, by beginning the
year with a new em-
phasis on "team
work."
Priding themselves
on their policy of not
excluding anyone dur-
ing Rush, they did not
practice partiality
when choosing
pledges.
This allowed for an
extra bit of individu-
ality in their group, and
resulted in an active,
dedicated pledge class.
It gave them brothers
who stuck by each
other and followed the
motto: "Once a Pike,
Always a Pike."
They participated in
intramurals where they
placed second in soc-
cer and third in
football.
They were involved
in playing in all the
major competitions.
At Christmas, they
had a party just for

little sisters. They also

lished their ideals of
"friendship, love and

For the first time

performed in Step Sing.
Their show high-
lighted 'Thaf Girl.'' It
was an exciting show
and was a welcome ad-
dition to the overall per-
formance of every
group.
The brothers felt that
the show made them a
closer group and they
expect to actively par-
ticipate in future shows.
They saw the show as
an asset to Rush. It in-
creased on-campus vis-
ibility for the group and
it helped change student
attitudes toward the
brotherhood.
The brothers worked
hard to erase a reputa-
tion that had followed
them in the past, and

The school year
began early for
the brothers of
IIK#. Before reporting
for fall classes, the ex-
ecutive officers met
for a retreat to plan the
upcoming year. Out of
this meeting came the
goals and priorities for
the new year.
When the year
began, these goals
were presented to the
fraternity for review. A
commitment was
made to review them
each semester.
The fall semester in-
cluded a hectic week
of rush as well as other
traditional activities.
The brothers held a
fundraiser for the
Alabama Baptist
Children's Home. Also,
the brothers made
regular visits to the Big
Oak Boys Ranch, their
philanthropy.
They acted as
"brothers" and friends
to the boys there.
They were able to per-
form a community ser-
vice while gaining
perspective on their
own lives.
" We realize there is a lot of
room for improvement, but
we feel like we've taken
some steps toward reaching
our full potential. "

Held in the fall, the
brothers combined Alum-
ni Day with the annual
Star and Lamp Semi-
Formal.
Alumnae returned to
participate in the Alumni
vs. Active football game
and cookout before at-
tending the dance. This
year, the dance was held
at the Wynfrey Hotel and
the event was labeled the
best ever."
The brothers also per-
formed well in in-
tramurals. They placed in
football and softball, and
" A place where I can be
myself. " Tom Baldwin
they were in the
playoffs of all major
sports.
The spring semester
was also a success for
the group. In Step
Sing, they placed first
in the men's division
with their show,
"Coming Home."
Their victory came
despite problems with
the band on Friday
night.
Tim Gregson, a
senior from Clear-
water, Fla., said,
"After many hours of
hard work and hard
practices and messing
up on Friday night, we
put on the best perfor-
mance in nK4> history
on Saturday night. We
proved something to
ourselves and to
everyone else."
IlK* initiated 14
pledges in March. This
brought the chapter
total to 46 brothers.
Overall, they have in-
itiated 753 brothers in-
to this chapter. Tim
Hebson, Housing
Director and Greek
Advisor, was also in-
itiated as a brother. □

Tue beginning of
the school year
was a blessing
to the brothers of 2X.
As the fastest grow-
ing fraternity on cam-
pus, Rush produced 33
new pledges. This was
the largest pledge
class in 2X history.
The hectic Rush
week included the
traditional Riverboat
Preferential Party in
Montgomery, which
was labeled as the
year's best party.
Derby Days was the
most successful ever.
The week long event
raised $3,300 for the
2X Philanthropies, Big
Oak Boys Ranch and
Wallace Village for
Children. This event
was known nation-
wide as the trademark
of 2X chapters
everywhere.
The brothers placed
second in intramural
football and soccer.
They placed first
overall in the College
Bowl Competition, the
first Greek organiza-
tion ever to win college
bowl.

Step Sing was also a
success for the brothers.
They placed second in
the men's division with
their theme of 50's
music. It was a good time
of togetherness for the
brothers and pledges.
Larry Yarborough, a
brother, and Stacia
Sinclair, a little sister,
were elected as Mr. and
Miss Samford during the
Spring Fling Festivities.
Additionally, little sister
Resha Riggins was
crowned Miss Entre

The brothers and
the national organiza-

to spend approximate-

2X continued to be
known as one the best
on campus. In the spr-
ing, they received the
Inter-Fraternity Coun-
cil awards for the
Highest Pledge Class
Grade Point Average
and for the Best
Fraternity Overall.
Also on spring
awards day, Houston
Byrd was named as
the male recipient of
the Luke 2:52 Scholar-
ship. This award is
based on the scripture
found in Luke 2:52
that says, "Jesus grew
in wisdom and stature
and in favor with God
and man." □

As the year
began , the
brothers of
Sigma Nu were trying
hard to show their
stuff.
In preparing for
Rush, their efforts
were not in vain. The
week progressed, and
the brothers put on
their best to persuade
potential pledges to
become a part of their
group.
During the week,
their most successful
parties of the year
were held. ' ' Sig
Beach" had become a
Rush tradition and,
once again, it was a
huge success.
This party and all
the other activities
combined to produce
one of the best pledge
classes in recent
times. Overall, they
gained seventeen
pledges, one of the
largest pledge classes
in Sigma Nu history.
As always, Sigma
Nu was a real con-
tender in the in-
tramural program.

The group was awarded

The group went
beyond sports and parties
to have the highest

received this award at the
spring Awards Day
ceremony. For a philan-
thropy project, they gave
free yardwork to the
residents on Salter Road.
This served as public

From the
foreign

clubs that
gave extra
credit for
attendance to the
staffs of the Entre
Nous and the
Crimson, which re-
quired hours of
dedicated work, the
groups on campus
all offered something
to each individual
student.
Service clubs such
as Gamma Sigma
Phi and Alpha Phi
Omega were always
in need in of a help-
ing hand as they per-
formed their duties
on campus and in
the community. The
SGA offered com-
mittee spots to any
student who wanted
to become involved.
Some organiza-
tions were a bit more
prestigious as the re-
quirements for
membership includ-
ed high academic
achievement. Stu-
dents struggled for
membership in
honor societies such
as Phi Kappa Phi and
Beta Beta Beta.
Whatever a stu-
dent's reason for
joining an organiza-
tion what he put into
it and what he
received back were
all part of the at-
titude.

night.
Many of the band's ac-
tivities took them away
from the University cam-
pus, including their
Spring Break tour, in
which the 27 members
traveled to five states:
these included Alabama,
Kentucky, Ohio, Ten-
nessee and West Virginia.
During this week-long
tour they performed
numerous church con-
certs.
It was soon after the
Spring Break tour that
they performed their
Homecoming concert at
Shades Mountain Baptist
Church. This was follow-
ed closely by a concert at
first Baptist Church.
According to band
member Donna
Whitehouse, a freshman
occupational therapy ma-
jor from Nashville, Tenn.,
"Few people knew how
much work went into the
band. We practice four
days a week from 3 to 5
p.m. It's really time
consuming."
The highlight of the
year came when the
University was chosen to
host the week-long

Festival. During this
week, high school bands
from across the state
came to Samford to

Dressed in red and

the newest addi-

The Strutters were a
dance line that was added
to the band and flag corps
during their perfor-
mances.They inter-
mingled their show with
that of the band to pro-
duce a halftime show
filled with entertainment.
Choreographed and
sponsored by Sherri
Arias, the group per-
formed during halftime at
football games, during
pep rallies and for a
Mike Manning
basketball game.
Try-outs were held in
the fall, and the girls then
began practice for the
games. They also sup-
ported the team by
traveling to Orlando with
them to dance during the
games there, and by per-
forming at the pre-game
luncheons in the fall.
As a new addition to
the football festivities
they worked hard to
become known on
campus.
Karen Crumpton, a
senior speech major from
Birmingham, helped
coordinate the group.
"It was hard work, but
fun. We enjoyed sup-
porting the team and
working with the band,"
Crumpton said. "I really
appreciated the work of
the girls and Mrs. Arias."
Crumpton said she
hopes the group will be
able to continue their
dance line next year. "At
this point we don't know
if we will be able to do it
again next year, but I cer-
tainly hope so." □

tended meetings with
Housing Director Tim

These special women
included Mrs. Gladys
Owens, Mrs. Ruby May
and Mrs. Deborah
Gillespie. They were close
to the girls in that lived in
the dorm with them and
were on hand whenever
needed.
Hebson said, "It takes a

whatever. You have to be a
mother, counselor,
listener, teacher, nurse
and friend-someone who's
attentive, alert and who

Phi Kappa Phi
provides recognition
It was not a surprise to
have a student walk in-
to a classroom and
"tap" someone on the
shoulder, and then pin
them with a colored
ribbon.
The ritual performed
every spring signified that
the student had achieved
high academic honors.
Established in 1897 at
the University of Maine,
the national honorary
society of Phi Kappa Phi

University.

from all different fields.
The leadership of the
group came from a mix-
ture of students and
faculty. This created a
special bond between
those that saw the gain-
ing of knowledge as an
ongoing process.
The group sponsored a
speaker's forum every
year in which renowned
leaders in their field
would speak during con-
vo hour and other set
meetings in order to
enlighten students and
faculty about their sub-
ject of expertise.

The group also held in-

on April 10. This year the
banquet had a special
honor as in attendance
were both Dr. and Mrs.
Perry Morton who were
charter members of Phi
Kappa Phi in 1972.
Both their daughter,

Sciences, and their son

ducted into the society. □

Of all the organiza-

the students and the
teachers share. Possibly
the main reason we meet
is for food, we really en-
joy eating. It's one of our
biggest things."
The Math Club enjoyed
many social and
academic events this
year. One of the
highlights was the annual
Christmas party. It was
really a nice party
Brasfield said. The
teachers got together and
cooked for us and we all
had a wonderful time.
Another social event
which highlighted the
year was a trip the group
took to Gulf Shores in
April.
It was a trip for fun
with absolutely no
academics involved. The
group stayed in a condo
and enjoyed the beach.
According to faculty ad-
visor Susan Dean, "It was
a really great trip; it
brought about such a feel-
ing of togetherness. I
took my two small
children and even they
enjoyed it."
Some of the academic
functions of the group
were the annual math

Crimson provides
news, entertainment
This was an eventful
year for the
University, and
with each event, the Sam-
ford Crimson was there.
A series of articles
on the crowded housing
conditions in the dor-
mitories started the year.
One of these stories, Out
at the Inn, written by
Trea Johnson, won an
award at the South-
eastern Journalism Con-
ference in February. The
award was for the third
best headline written in a
collegiate newspaper in
the southeast.
Clayton Wallace, editor
of the Crimson, helped
Cindy Gadget!
write the headline and ac-
cepted the award. He
said, "We were about to
pack everything up after
layout at about four in the
morning. Trea had tagged
his story on the computer
Out at the Inn, and I real-
ly liked the way it sound-
ed, so I changed the head
to 'Out at the Inn.' Ap-
parently the judges liked
it too!"
The next big issue dealt
with the Lakeshore
development. Wallace
said this was one of the
most exciting issues of
the year. "By keeping our
ears to the ground and
talking to various school
officials and others, we
knew about the impen-
ding announcements

Entre Nous boosts
coverage, records the year
Changing from a
traditional no-frills
publication to a
full-fledged college year-
book proved to be a for-
midable task for the staff
of the '87 Entre Nous .
Starting from
scratch in the summer,
the editor and designer

An Attitude was chosen
because of the broad
scope of (Jniverstiy life it
could cover.
No matter what was
happening on campus the
students all had feelings
and attitudes about how it
should have been handled
and what the stu-
David Rigg
dent body and ad-
ministration could do to
make it better.
There was a certain
type of attitude in a Sam-
ford student and it
showed through in their
feelings about the school,
whether they were good
or bad, proud or disap-
pointed. The Entre Nous
wanted to capture those
feelings of the year and
perserve them for later
memories.
Thus, the staff worked
to produce a book that
would bring back 1987
and freeze the moments
for years to come.
Creating a journalistic
time capsule that covered
all aspects of the year
proved to be a challenge
to the staff.
The switch to a new
publishing company, with
a new computer system,
proved to be the first
obstacle to overcome.
Others steadily mounted,
however. As the year pro-
gressed, the staff
dwindled and the editors
began to run out

book the University has
had in many years."
The staff worked hard
this year to change the
image of the Entre Nous .
The goal was to produce
a book that the students
would look at and enjoy
the next year, but that in
years to come, they
would want to return to
again and again to
remember a face, recall a
game or relive a moment.
"I came on the year-
book staff not knowing
what to expect," said
copy editor Rachel Pin-
son. "It has been more
work than 1 had ever im-
agined, but the satisfac-
tion of seeing your work
go into print, and helping
put together a good
publication has been
worth the long nights and
extra hours."
Long nights certainly
were a part of the job, but
the staff felt that the
results they achieved in
the '87 edition were
worth the work.
The work included
burning the candle late in-
to the night to meet color
deadlines, giving up study
hours and social time to
sit in front of the com-
puter, and watching the
rapid descent of their
GPA. Yet, a trip to the
Dallas publishing plant to
proof the printed pages,
and the long-awaited final
delivery saw the results of
a dedicated staff. □

Lost in a
sea of
faces,
memo-
ries of
classmates and
teachers were hard
to recapture once
they had drifted
apart.
Yet in a smaller
university setting it
was easier to remain
close to those you
associated with. Peo-
ple who had the
same major and end-
ed up in the same
classes grew close
quickly as study
groups formed and
students depended
on each other to pull
them through.
The tight-knit
groups soon became
like a family, as after
spending so many
hours together the
members soon knew
all about each other;
and perhaps more
importantly, they
learned who took the
best notes!
So whether Greek
or Independent,
music major or
graduate student,
the many facets of
the student body
worked together to
create a diversive
whole. Being
together constantly
in a dorm setting, a
classroom, or side by
side in the cafeteria
line, it all became
part of the attitude.

lawsuit could be
avoided if Trammell
Crow and the Universi-
ty keep their promise.
Trammell Crow
assured the residents
no less than one-third
of the 180-acre
development would be
left as a greenbelt. It
also promised the
character of Lake-
shore Drive would re-
main unchanged when
it came to trees and
brush. Residents,
though, remain skep-
tical.
Quida Fritschi,
president of the
Homeowners Associa-
tion, said they hoped
to raise $20,000 by the
end of the summer to
finance the suit.
As part of the same
development plans,
the University agreed
to sell 24.5 acres to
Southern Progress.
The magazine and
book publishing com-
pany, which is current-
ly located further down
on Lakeshore Drive,
plans to build its new
headquarters on the
property next to the
school.
Jeannetta Keller,
head of public rela-
tions for Southern Pro-
gress, said no definite
plans have been made
as to how closely
linked the two institu-
tions will be. She did
say, though, there is
"room for both institu-
tions to grow and com-
plement each other."
Many hope the institu-
tion will be able to pro-
vide some internships
and increased learning
to students of the
University.
The final sale price
of the property was set
at over $1.1 million. □

Day
When construction
began on the new
student activities center
in 1985, the student body
looked forward to using
the new facilities. After
its completion in the
summer of 1986, the gym
was open to students,
faculty and the general
public in the fall.
The gym was a multi-
purpose building used by
the entire student body.
Beginning with Fall
Carnival and continuing
throughout the year, the
activities center became
an important place for
students, faculty and ad-
ministration alike to
gather for exercise and
entertainment.
Intamural participation
was increased and much
of the competition took
place in this building.
Volleyball and basket-
ball competitions were
held in the facility as well
as pick-up games, bad-
minton and aerobics
classes. Many football
and basketball players
used the area during their
workouts.
The indoor track was a
welcome sight during
rainy days and cold
weather for those who
wanted to exercise.
Students who had
previously suffered cold
winds and sweltering heat
as they ran around the
track during the re-
quired men's and
women's orientation
classes were glad to
soften the blow by us-
ing the hanging track
in the gymnasium.
Many times, various
staff and administra-
tion personnel were
seen walking on their
lunch breaks or after
work.
The facilities also
housed the athletic
trainer's offices and
facilities for pre-game
preparations. The stu-
dent sports medicine
majors used the rooms
for extra hands-on
training.
The building was
open in the afternoon
and evening as well as
on weekends. Stu-
dents knew they would
be able to find a place
to take a few shots at
the basket or goof off
with their friends'
much easier than they
had in the past.
In previous years
when the University
only had the use of the
one main gym, in-
tramural teams founc
it diffucult to reserve c
place to practice, anc
those who wanted tc
just practice their fou
shots had nowhere tc
go.
The carpeted flooi
was marked for
basketball and
volleyball, indoor ten-
nis, and also lent itsell
to other uses. Campus
Ministries used the
gym for their adopt-a
kid program when
they needed a large
space to have the
children watch a pup-
pet show; and various
other groups used il
for their gatherings.

tion, and built in the tradi-

Sweating in the heat
of the spring sun,
these construction
workers labor over the
building of the new Heal-
ing Arts Center. The com-
plex was built in the area
in front of the
gymnasium.
Tthe University began
construction of the
Healing Arts Center in
January on property
northwest of Seibert
Gymnasium.
The University decided
to build the center after a
gift from an anonymous
donor was received
specifically for a healing
arts facility.
President Thomas
Corts said, "The money
was originally left in the
donor's will, but we were
able to convince the
donor to let us have the
money now."
David Rigg
Inspecting the work done
by fellow engineers, these
men put in many hours a day
in order to complete the new
Healing Arts Center. The
construction began in
January, and continued
through the rest of the
semester.
NURSES
HOME
The center cost $3.5
million and served as
the new home for the
school of nursing.
Currently, though,
the school of nursing
was suffering from low
enrollment.
Elizabeth Calhoun,
associate dean of the
school of nursing, said
the entire country was
coming to grips with
this problem.
The Department of
Health and Services,
was not concerned
with the shortage in
many states. An HHS
report said the nation's
RNs (registered
nurses) will slightly
outnumber the jobs to
be open to them over
the next 15 years.
Likewise, a recent
survey by Touche
Ross & Company from
Mew York showed that
43 percent of 1,224
hospital administrators
polled said they feared
their facilities will
close in the next five
years.
However, a panel of
nurses did not agree
with the report's fin-
dings. According to
their projections, there
will be a shortage of
more than 1.2 million
nurses by the year
2000.
While these figures
conflict with each
other, Calhoun said it
still remained, "we
need students."
Enrollment in the
University's nursing
program had steadily
declined over the past
four years. In 1983 the
nursing school enrolled
567 students during
the fall semester. This
semester the school
only enrolled 266.
Corts said he would
like to use the money
for housing now, but
the donor earmarked
the money for a Heal-
ing Arts Center.
The new center con-
tained normal class-
room and academics
support space along
with the nursing
school and campus
first aid. Once com-
pleted, the facility had
30,000 square feet of
available space. □

Parking problems in-

construction and special

As more and more
students brought their

ing situation grew into a

were removed, trees and
shrubbery were planted
so that very little parking
was left to students who
had classes in the religion
building, the foreign
language building, Brooks
Hall or those who worked
for WCAJ Channel 68.
On the other side of
campus, construction
began on the Healing Arts
Center, located across
from the gym. This
knocked out spaces in

Commuter students
i1 were constantly turned
[out of their spaces by
Leslie S. Wright Con-
cert Hall when the lots
were blocked off to ac-
commodate special
events.
These students had
to search for a space
wherever they could
find one, all the while
hoping they would not
get an expensive
ticket.
Often these students
were late to class if
they did not know
beforehand that their
usual spaces would not
be available and they
would have to drive
around campus in
search of an empty
spot.
Generally the only
place on campus that

always had an available
spot was Beeson Woods.
It had been designed to
have one parking spot for
each student. These
students often drove their
cars to the cafe or to
class, so they took up
even more spaces on the
main campus and left
Beeson Woods spaces
open.
Visitors to campus also
had difficulty finding a
space to park. Pam Huff,
anchorwoman for WVTM
Channel 13, who visited
campus for a workshop
held by Women in Com-
munications for high
school students, was
forced to park in Beeson
Woods, as it was the only
space available. □

Feel the thunder as
thoroughbred horses
race down the track on
opening day at the Turf
Club. Birmingham's
newest attraction took off
in full force this year
despite protests from
many religious organiza-
tions.
HORSE
RACING
FEVER
The newest attrac-
tion in the Magic
City was the Birm-
ingham Turf Club,
which opened in the
spring of 1987. The
Turf Club offered its
patrons the chance to
enjoy thouroughbred
horse racing in a com-
fortable atmosphere.
The Club itself sat
on 330 acres of coun-
tryside 10 miles east of
Birmingham. It provid-
ed 175 days a year of
exciting horse racing.
The Turf Club featured
a seven-level glass and
steel building that rose
100 feet above the
track. The facility ac-
commodated 20,000
people, although it had
not reached that goal
as the Turf Club got
nowhere near its pro-
jected earnings.
Racing season was
from March to Oc-
tober on Wednesdays
through Saturdays.
Each race ran about
two minutes, then the
spectator would wait
15 minutes or more
until the next two-
minute race. Although
this gave the lucky
winners time to collect
their earnings or post
their bets for the next
race, some people who
were there just to
watch easily got bored,
especially after six or
seven races.
One thing many
people did to pass the
time was eat. There
were three fine
restaurants and over a
dozen concession
stands to provide Turf
Club visitors with
several different
choices. The most sur-
prising thing about the
food at the Turf Club
was not the variety of
choices, but the
prices. The exorbitant
prices were a factor in
the money lost at the
Club; people who ate
tended not to bet. This
led to the racetrack's
lowering of prices as it
went deeper into debt.
For those who didn't
bet, but only came to
see the track, an even
better sport than
watching the horses
was watching the peo-
ple who gathered
there. From women in
flower print dresses to
families spending a
week's pay and even to
Samford students, the
variety of people united in
the common goal of pull-
ing for a favorite horse
was an interesting
spectacle.
Thoroughbred horse
racing may not appeal to
everyone, but because of
the diversity of entertain-
ment available, the Birm-
ingham Turf Club proved
to be of interest to all. □

Towering above the park-

building that houses the Turf
Club is a work of art. The
nice facilities came to be the
downfall of the track,
however, as it went deeper
and deeper into debt.

CENTER
CHANGES
FACES
Upon returning to
school in the fall,
students were greeted by
an old friend with a new
face — Beeson Student
Center.
As one of the first
buildings built on the
Lakeshore campus, the
student center has seen
thousands of faces come
and go, and has had many
"face-lifts" herself.
The student center had
finally become a place for
student life. The lounge
was completed, and not a
day went by without
students taking advan-
tage of this spacious,
comfortable room. Bet-
ween classes, at convo
time and during lunch,
students poured in, talk-
ing, laughing, relaxing
and watching television.
It soon became the
place to chat with friends,
hold group gatherings
and study in an at-
mosphere less restricted
than the library.
The new bookstore
was completed, its doors
open wide, beckoning for
students to enter.
The hushed at-
mosphere lent itself to
the selection and pur-
chase of books, supplies,
gifts and school-spirited
paraphernalia.
The store was larger
than the previous room
and attractively arranged
so that it was easy to
discover the items one
was searching for.
A new line of clothes
emblazoned with trendy
emblems using the Sam-
ford name filled one cor-
ner of the store. Extra
register space cut down
on long lines and attrac-
tive display windows
showed off what the store
had to offer.
Another renovated
facet of the student
center was the
gameroom. It became an
entertainment center that
provided an action-
packed area for students
to unwind.
A paint job was the
foundation for the
gameroom's new look. A
forest green was used, in
keeping with the snack
bar area.
The old name of co-op
was thrown out and a
contest was held to name
the new snack bar
area. "Sam's Place"
was choosen as the
new name and the
snack bar took off
in full swing.
A salad bar, in
addition to the
counter which sold
hamburgers, sand-
wiches, chicken
fingers and the in-
stantly popular
gyro, kept the
snack area con-
stantly busy.
Next, a new
lighting system was
installed to provide
the light needed for
fast-paced rounds
of pool and
ping-pong.
The video games,
a favorite of many
students, were
brought in, as well
as a new electrical
system for all of the
video games.

Anxiously waiting to see
what will happen to her

sophomore elementary
education major from Or-
mond Beach, Fla., takes time
out to play a video game
with freshman Ashley Vance
of Montgomery.
The jukebox, always
ready to fill the air with
the pulsating beat of the
latest in rock-n-roll, was a
frequent companion to
the games being played.
The post office also
took on a new look as it
was expanded to provide
additional boxes for the
increase of students on
and off campus that
wanted an SG box.
The rows of boxes
were in constant use as a
steady stream of mail
kept students in touch
with friends and family
back home.
When all changes were
made, a grand opening
was held. The event was
complete with pool and
ping pong tournaments.
A video jukebox pro-
vided entertainment and
a drawing was sponsored
by Little Ceasar's pizza.
Freshman Steve Lamb
was the winner of two
pizzas a week for a year.
The renovation of the
student center provided
the campus with a com-
fortable place to gather as
friends and has been a
welcome addition to the
changes on campus. □

Macy's Opening
...
David Rigg
Emblazoned on the
side of a giant ice
cream cone balloon,
the Macy's name could
be seen from many van-
tage points. The oversiz-
ed balloon announced
the Grand Opening of the
store.
When I first heard
that Macy's was
going to open a branch in
Birmingham, my first
thought was "Why?"
After all, Macy's was a
posh New York depart-
ment store and there
were probably not too
many people who could

Macy's
SOUTHERN
Style
actually had three
openings. On Thurs-
day, March 12, there
was a "silent opening."
This was an unpublic-
ized run to give the
employees a chance to
work the bugs out of
the systems. One of
the biggest bugs was
opening time itself
which was delayed
from 10 a.m. to 10:30,
and then to 1 1 .
On Monday, March
16, there was a special
opening for which
tickets were sold at
$10 a head. The pro-
ceeds went to benefit
the Birmingham Arts
Council. Finally Wed-
nesday, March 18, the
Grand Opening was
held complete with the
Betty Boop balloon all
the way from Mew York.
I did not make the
Grand Opening, how-
ever, I did go to the
Thursday preview and
was sufficiently im-
pressed. Because we
could not get in until
1 1 , a friend and I stood
outside and memorized
the store directory.
This was a special bit
of planning, designed
to make us appear as
though we had been
born and bred in
Macy's.
Once the store
opened, we made a
beeline for the men's
store. The first thing I
found was a delightful
little sweater imported
from Hong Kong and a
real buy at only $978.
After I had finished
gagging, we made our
way to the third floor
which is called ap-
propriately enough,
The Cellar. (How's that
for Yankee ingenuity?)
We talked about our
impression of Macy's
over lunch in The
Cellar Restaurant.
There is no question
that it will be a big suc-
cess. There are, how-
ever, several questions
that have to be an-
swered. "Will the
Macy's parade move to
Birmingham?," "Will
Rich's be able to keep
up with the new kid on
the block?" and the
most important ques-
tion of all: "When will
Birmingham get a
Nieman-Marcus?" □

As the cost of living
rose and students'
cash flow fell, many dug
deeper and deeper into
empty pockets in order to
make ends meet.
When the school year
began students were
faced with paying a
higher tuition and buying
books for another year of
classes.
Those who moved into
new rooms had the cost
of fixing up an old room
and many were drained of
their money supply in the
first month of school.
Ambitious workers
who had horded their
summer wages, saw them
sift through their fingers
as an unknown source
seemed to slowly empty
their wallets.
Many sought on-
campus jobs to fill their
penniless pockets, or ap-
plied for work in the Bir-
mingham area. Others
just relied on good 'ol
mom and dad to keep the
cash flow constant.
As students looked for
new and innovative ways
to line their pockets, the
power of that little piece
of plastic became ap-
parent. The convenience
of "buy now pay later"
was too good to pass up
and students learned to
dread the arrival of those
monthly bills.
But the temptation was
too hard to resist when
post office boxes
overflowed with specials
offered to college
students with credit
already approved.

quick cash was a must
on those nights that

A Food World check
cashing card also
came in handy when a
student needed some
additional funds. The
grocery store allowed
approved students to
cash out-of-town
checks for cash. Since
Food World was open
late, this became very
convenient.
Wendy's was a
popular place for
students who wanted
to eat out but had no
ready cash. The fast
food chain would ac-
cept a check with
hardly any hassle.
Other places such as
Lee's Fried Chicken
and Captain D's also
took checks. These
establishments
became well-known to
students who rarely
had cash to spare.D

Taking a swift punch
in the stomach, this
white belt competitor
receives the full force of
his opponent's fist, the
tournament was held in
the UAB gymnasium late
in the spring semester.
ART OF
DEFENSE
The Southeastern
Knockdown
Karate Championship
was held at the Univer-
sity of Alabama at Bir-
mingham in mid May.
It was sponsored by
(J.S. Oyama's
Kyokushin Karate
School in Homewood.
Three Samford
students competed in
the event.
David Rigg, who was
beaten 2-to-l in the
first round and Scott
Barton, who made it to
the second round to be
beaten 3-to-2 were two
of the students who
took Karate for
physical education
credit and participated
in the tournament.
Owner of the studio
and coordinator of the
competition, Shihan
Oyama, was pleased
with the performance
of his students in the
tournament.
He has taught the
class as a physical
education credit for
the past seven years
and has earned an
eighth degree black
belt.
The class was
popular and was of-
fered during Jan term
and in the Spring term.
The tournaments
were held in May and
January and were an
opportunity for karate
students from all over
the Southeast to
match their skill
against other students.
The University
students, being white
belts, competed in the
point system competi-
tion held Saturday
morning.
Under this system,
two fighters attempted
to use correct form in
landing a punch or
kick. Each punch or
kick not blocked by
the opponent was
counted as a point.
The first fighter to
score three points, or
the fighter with the
most points after two
minutes was the win-
ner and went on to
face another oppo-
nent. For some, it was
the longest two
minutes they had ever
endured.
Oyama taught stu-
dents the Kyokushin
style of Japanese
karate. He insisted that
each student give his all
and graded accordingly.
There were many
hours of hard work, a
good deal of pain and
even some blood in-
volved, but it was worth it
to the students.
They learned not only
the art of self-defense,
but also gained insight in-
to the martial ways of the
Japanese customs and
rituals. □

Swift, fluid motions
characterized the
movements of a skate-
boarder as he whizzed
down a hill and around
corners. Whipping in and
out of slower people who
traveled without wheels,
stunts, skateboarding was
a relaxing way to pass the
time, a low-cost means of
transportation and an in-
vigorating form of
competition.
Many skateboarders
started learning the art on
for the special use of
skateboarders.
Skateboarders were
seen as individualists with
their custom-designed
skateboards and unique
fashions.
Not a highly organized
a skateboarder had the
wind at his back as long
as he had control of his
board.
Starting with simple
street' skating and work-
ing up to complex aerial
makeshift ramps set up
at the end of a driveway.
Those who became
more interested in the
sport moved out of the
backyard and into areas
and special tracks built
sport with a strict set of
rules, the skateboarding
world was left free to pur-
sue all aspects offered by
the fast-paced action.
This often included
bruised knees and cut-
up hands, but the thrill
of almost flying was
worth it.
The excitement and
danger of flying into
the air and then ex-
ecuting a safe landing
on a concrete walkway
made the sport appeal-
ing to the younger set.
People from ages 12
to 25 enjoyed the
thrills provided by the
board on wheels, but
the high-risk factor
often discouraged
older participants.
It was the second-
most frequent cause of
injuries to children
(behind bicycles).
The government
tried to ban it, but
companies came out
with stronger pads and
helmets that made it
safer. It still did not
become especially
popular nationwide,
but many were aware
of the high thrills of-
fered by the sport.
Michael J. Fox gave
the board a new twist
when he performed
stunts in his box-office
hit movie, Back To
The Future.
The heartbreaker
made his getaway
from the bad guys by
turning a 1950s
scooter into a
skateboard and racing
from his opponents
who were in a car.
The country was
then well aware of the
high-speed oppor-
tunities provided by
the wheeled contrap-
tion (although all were
warned not to try
those stunts at home).
Many who made
their home on cam-
pus, however, did give
skateboarding a try as
avid fans of the sport
were seen whizzing

Answering Machines

David Rigg
All wrapped up in
phone cords, junior
John Puckett from
Childersburg, tries to
answer all his phone
lines. For a student with a
busy social calendar, an
available phone was a
must.
What was once con-
sidered an extreme
luxury had now become
commonplace at the
University - the age of the
answering machine had
arrived.
Dorm rooms and of-
fices alike had these
"talking boxes" and the
messages they spat out
were reflections of the
personalities of the
owners.
"Please don't hang
up!, "pleaded one anxious
voice."
"We can't come to the
phone right now be-

The little box with the
blinking lights became a
hot item as the answering
machine found a place in the
dorm room. Students who
were in class, or down the hall
would no longer worry that
they had missed a call, the
answering machine caught
every word.

cause, . . . well, we
can't find the phone
right now," said
another.
The messages
ranged from short to
long and from general
to specific.
"You shouldn't be
calling me right now
anyway, I'm studying
for exams!"
Often the messages
were a combined effort
of many creating
choruses, dialogues
and everything
imaginable.
Musical messages
were a popular choice.
The messages were
creative, from a rendi-
tion of We Are The
World, to a rap ending
with, "just wait for the
beep, just wait for
the beep." Waiting for
the beep seemed to be
the generally accepted
manner of answering
machine etiquette.
Perhaps the most
entertaining part of the
answering machine
boom was the caller
himself.
Cotton mouth,
sweaty palms, loss of
memory and tem-
porary paralysis were a
few common symp-
toms of the answering
machine blues from
the caller's standpoint.
Stuttered messages
were rampant, as
callers forgot the
reasons for the calls
when they realized they
were talking to a
machine.
Some brave souls,
however, found no dif-
ficulty in chatting to a
tape recorder. Often
callers forgot no one
was listening, and they
asked questions and
paused for answers.
Still others found the
answering machine to
be the perfect friend
and poured out life
stories, problems and
heartaches.
Whatever the reac-
tion, answering
machines made com-
munication a breeze.
Meetings were
scheduled, dates made
and friendships were
saved as the forgetful
roommate was re-
leased from the
responsibility of re-
membering mes-
sages. LI -Amy Samuels

The sisters of Gamma

While the monthly

Video Theatre offered

spring I rented about
20 videos. In January
it wasn't Jan Term, it
was 'movie term.'
Every three or four
days we'd rent a film."
On any occasion a
student could go to
any one of 15 video
rental outlets such as
Video Xpress, Movie
Gallery or Video
Showcase and rent the
film of their choice for
around $2. New
releases were snatched
up by students and
shown at fraternity
parties or at friendly
get togethers.
According to an
employee at Video
Xpress, comedy films,
music videos and hor-
ror classics tended to
be the most popular
movies rented by
University students.
Students did not have
to spend $4.50 for the
new attractions in the
theaters in the Birm-
ingham area. If they
wished to wait a little
longer to see the film,
they could probably
catch it on campus or on
video cassette for a
cheaper price. □

Parisians in the
Galleria sold hun-
dreds of bows to women
who were bedecking
their hair in the height of
fashion. The bows came
in a variety of colors that
were meant to match any
outfit.
BOWS
BOUNCE
BACK
The new look for
hair this year was
a big bow that matched
the outfit.
They started out
coming in basic black
and then moved on to
brighter colors.
Made from taffeta,
lace, grosgrain or
chambray, the bow
could add just the right
touch to any outfit. It
could be sporty or
cutesy and added a flir-
ty dimension to the
wardrobe.
The ponytail-at-the-
nape-of-the-neck
came back in fashion
as women first used
the bows to pull their
haire back from their
face. It was also used to
secure long braids or
fastened at the bottom
of a French braid.
With long hair mak-
ing its re-entry into the
world of fashion, an at-
tractive way of keeping
it out of one's face was
needed. The bow, with
its cute, perky look
was just the ticket.
Soon, however, the
bow was not worn with
sporty outfits only.
Fancy silvery and gold
ones appeared on the
market and the head-
piece soon was donned
for dress-up affairs.
Taffeta ones were
the rage for Christmas
extravaganzas and red
and green plaid were
extremly popular.
The look was popu-
lar for little girls as well
as college students.
One look at the
church pew holding
the youth group on a
Sunday morning told
the story of white lace
and taffeta holding
back unruly looks.
The trend was
universal, however, as
older women bought
bows for themselves
as well as their
daughters.
Madonna started the
trend when she first
became popular in the
early '80s. White lace
bows were always a
part of her costume.
But the look was
refined this year as in-
stead of casually
wrapped lace strips,
the bow was clean-cut
and very feminine.
"I love the way I can
just sweep my hair
back and keep it out of
my face," said fresh-
man Julie Jones of
Jacksonville, Fla.
Junior Kim Andrews,
from Jackson, Miss., said
"The bow can be casual
or dressy. Adding a bow
to an outfit can change
the whole look!"
The popularity of the
bow lasted through the
fall and spring fashion
season, and as more and
more girls began buying
them to match any and
all outfits, they became
an accepted fashion
Statement. D -Hallie Von Hagen
David Rigg
From black to taffeta to
lace, the bows came in
all sizes, colors and
materials. They were seen in
classrooms, on the in-
tramural field and at formats.
The bow became a fashion
statement.

Guess?
Creates
Trend
Guess? Guess who?
Guess what? No,
just plain Guess?. The
popular name brand label
that has been blazoned on
the clothing of students
for the past few seasons
truly reached its peak of
popularity this year as
Guess? clothing was seen
everywhere across
campus.
The label started as a
brand of designer blue
jeans, but soon spread to
other clothing as well.
The blue jeans the com-
pany made were popular
because of the faded
pockets and interesting
designs they provided.
Stripes, bold pocket
designs and most of all
that little triangle signify-
ing the Guess? label
made the clothing a
popular item.
It soon jumped from
just blue jeans to the
popular blue jean mini
skirt and finally formed
its own line of
sportswear.
Even the mini skirt
could be purchased in
dark denim or the
stone-washed look, as
long as the white
triangle appeared on
the back.
The casual clothes
were designed in big
comfortable styles.
Cotton T-shirts and
everyday wear ap-
pealed directly to a
younger set who
wanted to make a
definite fashion
statement.
The biggest rage in
Guess? clothes came
when the designers
took an old favorite,
overalls, and made
them into the height of
fashion.
Guess? overalls
came in faded styles
with stripes and
pockets to accent
them. The overalls were
comfortable to wear to
class or out on the town,
and many students
found interesting ways
to pair them with other
aspects of their

The Guess? blue jean
jacket was another
fashion statement. Selling
for a cool $72, the jacket
was the ultimate in
Guess? clothing. Other
types of sportswear sold
included shorts outfits,
sweatshirts, sweaters and
casual pants.
Guess? watches that
sold for $42 were also a
popular item. The color-
fully decorated faces
came in a variety of styles
and sported colored
bands to match.
Male and female alike
wore the popular sport
watch. The Guess? name
was certainly one that
was represented in the
wardrobe of a trendy stu-
dent. □

The call of the wild,
Tarzan and Jane,
olive green and dull khaki
were all in fashion this
season as the Safari look
swept the campus.
It started with Banana
Republic in the Galleria
and spread its jungle in-
fluences to other stores.
The hot colors were cool
greens, subtle khaki
browns and anything in
an earth tone. Banana
Republic customers,
greeted by a reclining
camel, entered the store
under giant elephant tusks
that arched above the
doorway. A tribal drum
beat was heard in the air.

played in overflowing

and dressing rooms
consisted of an animal
looking hide stretched
across an open
doorway.
Looking upward, the
customer saw blue
skies and parakeets
perched on wooden
beams. The store was
decorated with all
kinds of safari
paraphernalia that
seemed to belong on
the set of Out Of
Africa. An old jeep
protruded through the
window of the store,
making the jungle at-
mosphere complete.
The clothes were all
made from natural
fibers. Banana
Republic T-shirts with
a jungle scene printed

popular item for many

students' wardrobes.
The clothes were all
made cool and com-
fortable, ready for
anyone who wanted to
take a trip to the wilds.
The store also
manufactured a mail-
order catalog so that
customers could con-
veniently shop at
home. The clothing
gained popularity
quickly and the mail
order business soon
became as lucrative as
that of the long-
standing L.L. Bean
company, which also
provided outdoor-type
clothes and equip-
ment.
Other department
stores picked up on
this safari theme and
designated areas of
their stores for the
hot-selling outdoor
clothing. Men's safari
hats instantly became
popular headgear, and
women found the in
color of the year to be
army green for camp
shirts and cool swingy
skirts.
From heavy work
boots to lightweight
button-down cotton
dresses the trend
found its way into
many wardrobes.
The Limited, Inc., a
successful chain of
women's stores,
manufactured Out-
back Red clothing to
compete with the
business of Banana
Republic, and other
stores hurried to stock
up on anything that
seemed to be part of
the popular safari look.

Hi Ho Silver Away!
This was the cry
heard from many sales
associates in department
stores across Birm-
ingham as the Western
look galloped into the
wardrobes of fashion-
concious students.
Blue jean jackets
returned to the scene and
were a perfect winter coat
to help brave the winds.
To accent the jacket a
pair of cowboy boots did
just the trick. The clumpy
brown boots of past
styles were out, however,
as sleek leather boots
dappled with rhinestones
and draped with fringe
became a fashion state-

ment.
The colors ranged from
bright white to neutral
browns as well as
outlandish colors. Men
wore classy boots made
from rattlesnake skin or
soft leather.
Continuing upward, the
most popular item was
the prairie skirt. Wide,
swishy dress skirts were
accented with an inch or
more of a white eyelet

beneath.
The look whisked
the wearer back to the
carefree days of Laura
lngalls Wilder, wind-
swept meadows and
feminine dressing.
The Laura Ashley
chain of stores
manufactured the
most beautiful of these
dresses at exorbitant
prices.
Her dainty prints
and lacy undergar-
ments sent the fashion
world into a frenzied
return to the past.
Those who could af-
ford the top quality
merchandise she of-
fered were dressed in
impecable fashion.
Silver became the
biggest jewelry rage of
the season. Suddenly
huge silver hoops and
sparkling silver chains
and bracelets took the
place of the once go-
with-every thing-gold.
Silver and turquoise
jewelry were the
perfect match for a
western outfit, and
topped with a big
silver purse, it was a
knockout combina-
tion.
The Wild West even
put its mark on waists
as wide silver belts
that hung down in
loops made the final
WILD
WEST
accessory for the western
look.
For guys, the classic
look was a heartstopper.
What woman could resist
a slow John Wayne drawl
coming from beneath the
brim of cowboy hat?
They couldn't go wrong
with blue jeans, boots and
a denim jacket. The look
of the old west became
the fashion statement of
the "modern west" as
students embraced the
styles of a past era. □

The hot spot
weekdays at noon is
in front of the television
in the student lounge.
Days Of Our Lives fans
watch their favorite
character's sizzling love
affairs. Here the popular
Kayla is captured.
12:00
DAILY
DOSE
"I
hate Victor
Kiriakis and I'll
do anything to keep
my baby."
'Hey Sweet-
ness . . ."
. . . "Bo, please
don't shut me out!"
"I love you Marlena,
I'll always love you."
The "Days Craze"
attacked University
students in full force.
Hundreds religiously
followed the life and
times of Bo, Hope,
Shane, Kimberly,
Steve, Kayla, Roman,
Marlena and the rest of
the Days gang.
The mystery, in-
trigue and romance of
the lives led by these
characters became real
to some people and
they were like
members of their own
family or friends. Often
they were an escape
from the dull world
around them, or just a
way to see people ex-
perience problems that
were infinitely worse
than their own.
Whatever the reason,
the soap opera was
mesmerizing to many
and its popularity in-
creased as the months
went by.
As with all soap
operas, the faces
change as the years
pass. Days, however,
had several characters
who had been on for
the full 27 years of this
popular program. For
instance, McDonald
Carey, the show's nar-
rator and main
character made the
switch from movies to
television acting and
made a career of his
characterization of Dr.
Horton.
Days was the
replacement for a
cancelled soap opera,
Young Dr. Malone . It
was one of the few
soaps that began on
television instead of
switching from radio.
Although few stu-
dents were aware of
the show's rich history,
many were immersed
in the present. The
lunch hour was sacred,
and classes were out of
the question for avid
Days followers. In-
stead, students piled
on the couches around
televisions in the stu-
dent lounge, Vail lobby
and Smith lobby.
Students who
thoughtlessly sched-
uled classes through
the show put their
VCRs to use and watched
the reruns as soon as
possible.
In the cafe, the big
screen television was
tuned to NBC, and the
volume was cranked.
Many conversations
ceased as the drama
unfolded.
All around campus up-
dates and predictions
were made both during
the show and for hours
afterwards. Phone lines
buzzed with excited
voices reviewing the vic-
tories, trials and tribula-
tions of a Days fan's
"second family." □

Alabama Grand Theatre
For 60 years patrons enjoyed the decor, classic films and stage shows of the
Alabama Theatre, yet this year it faced foreclosure. The fight to save it in-
volved members of the professional sector as well as University students. The
battle was won as the "Save the Alabama Theatre" drive raised its goal of
$100,000 and placed the theatre under the protection and care of the Theatre
and Organ Society.

Underwear Becomes Outerwear
Splashed with everything from red lips to Greek letters, boxers, which were once
discreetly worn as men's underwear, became the latest in casual clothing. When
women started noticing the cute patterns printed on boxers, they stalked the
men's department in search of the garment for themselves. Worn as shorts, box-
ers made their way from the underwear drawer to the classroom.

Vietnam Revisited
One of the top movies of the year proved to be the
moving drama Platoon . Here Tom Berenger, Mark
Moses and Willem Dafoe tell the tale of the horrors
of war. The story sparked more interest in Vietnam
veterans, and won an Oscar for Best Picture and
one for Best Director.
Showing His Stuff
Stars of the hit movie Top Gun , Kelly McGillis and
Tom Cruise, were involved in a heated love affair
that drew crowds to the theatre. The movie about
the Air Force was an instant success and the title
song You Take My Breath Away by Berlin won best
song at the Academy Awards.
