em-

o   f 
the 
col- 
lege years  can  be 
blurred  in  a  haze  of 
studying,     classes 
and     endless    ac- 
tivities.  Often  the 
only     thing     that 
comes     through 
clearly     are     the 
special     remem- 
brances of  friend- 
ships made. 

Close  bonds 
formed  with  room- 
mates, sorority 
sisters  or  fraternity 
brothers  and 
teachers  are  ties 
that  will  last  a 
lifetime.     College 


friends  share  in  the 
excitement  of  the 
big  date,  the  latest 
gossip  or  the 
long-awaited  let- 
ter, as  well  as  the 
trauma  of  a  bad 
grade,  an  expen- 
sive phone  bill  or  a 
broken  love  affair. 

Friends  could  be 
depended  on  to  of- 
fer a  shoulder  to 
cry  on  or  to  be 
there  with  a  laugh 
for  a  private  joke. 

The  experiences 
shared  with  frinds 
found  during  the 
college  years  are 
ones  that  will  be 
remembered  and 
cherished  forever.

o   f 
the 

action  was  one  of 
the  best  ways  to 
make  the  most  of 
the  year.  The 
luckiest  students 
were  those  who 
were  able  to 
balance  good 
study  habits  with  a 
full  calendar  of 
activities.

For  those  with

there  were  choirs 
to  lend  a  talented 
voice  to.  Anyone 
with  a  literary 
touch  could  find  a 
place  on  the  staffs 
of  the  Crimson  or 
Entre  Nous  . 

Greek  life  also 
provided  a  way  for 
students  to  get  in- 
volved, assume 
positions  of  re- 
sponsibility and 
develop  leadership 
skills. 

There  was  a

willing  to  help  a 
cause  or  lend  a

Three  SOLO  weekends 
were  held  during  the

could  register  for  classes 
and  learn  about  the 
University.

un- 
ique 
year 
came 
into 
focus  as  an  endless 
stream    of   activities 
unfolded. 

Homecoming  was 
packed  full  of  excite- 
ment, and  S-Day 
was  extended  into  a 
week-long  Spring 
Fling. 

The  Beeson 
Woods  bridge  was 
finally  completed 
and  the  "shuttle 
rides'  of  fall 
semester  were  no 
more,  yet  construc- 
tion continued  as  the 
Healing  Arts  Center 
went  up  on  the  other 


side  of  campus. 

Step  Sing  took  its 
usual  toll  on  health 
and  grades  during 
February,  and 
Spring  Break  was  a 
welcome  vacation. 

Graduation  round- 
ed out  a  year  full  of 
activities. 

The  largest 
freshman  class  made 
a  name  for  itself  as 
its  members  became 
more  and  more 
involved. 

Living  life  to  its 
fullest  was  important 
to  students  and  no 
matter  what  their  at- 
titude, they  tried  to 
experience  every- 
thing to  the  utmost.

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

Building  a  human  pyramid, 
SOLO  group  leaders  pile 
on  top  of  each  other  during  a 
summer  training  session.  The 
training  was  part  of  preparation 
for  the  freshmen  orientation 
weekends. 


Stretched  out  across  the  in- 
tramural field,  an  orienta- 
tion group  gets  to  know  each 
other  through  games  and 
laughter.  The  summer  orienta- 
tion was  part  of  a  requirement 
for  incoming  freshmen  and 
transfer  students.

week  of  school. 


Freshmen,  as  well  as  many 
older  students,  spend  an 
afternoon  on  the  quad  playing 
games  and  getting  to  know 
other  students.  The  activities 
were  part  of  Gamefair  spon- 
sored by  the  SGA.  This  was  the 
first  year  that  an  event  of  this 
kind  was  offered  to  students.

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. 
Don  Knotts,  winner  of  five 
Emmy  awards  for  his  por-

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.

be  named  Homecoming 
Queen  1986.

sisted of  Ginger  Hill,  a

from  Nashville,  Tenn., 
Dothan  junior  Christie

of  St.  Petersburg,  Fla.  and 
Birmingham  senior  Stacia 
Sinclair,  with  Kim  Thornhill, 
a  senior  religion  major  from

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 
Homecoming  1986.  □

^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.

^W     <uut_ 


*****  #*<"  ^^ 


s  in  previous 
years,  Fall  Car- 
nival was  one  of 
the  major  fund- 
raising  events  for 
the  summer  missions  pro- 
gram sponsored  by  Campus 
Ministries.  Fall  Carnival 
brought  out  the  creativity  in 
all  campus  groups  as  they 
worked  together  to  raise 
money  for  one  of  the  most 
popular  programs  around. 
Summer  missions  involved 
many  students  and  held  a 
variety  of  opportunities  for 
them  all. 

From  Bible  school  teach- 
ing to  door-to-door  witnes- 
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!"  □

shimmering 
sequins  co- 
vered the 
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 
Only  Just  Begun"  as  the 


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 
solo  rendition  of  the  old 
Karen  Carpenter  favorite. 

Angela  Callahan  filled 
in  the  time  until  the 
judges  made  their  final 
decision  with  anecdotes 
from  her  experiences  as 
Miss  Alabama. 

The  contestants  in- 
cluded: Wendy  Rooker, 
who  was  sponsored  by 
the  senior  class  and  sang 
"Amazing  Grace,"  Leisa 
Wheeler,  who  was  spon- 
sored by  Gamma  Sigma 
Phi  and  sang  "Wouldn't  It 
Be  Lovely,"  Laura  Bil- 
lingsley,  who  was  spon- 
sored by  Alpha  Delta  Pi 
and  sang  "Ring  Them 
Bells,"  Tracy  Jolly,  who 
was  sponsored  by  the 
Student  Dietetic  Associa- 
tion and  sang  "The  Man 
That  Got  Away,"  Sonya 
Phillips,  who  was  spon- 
sored by  Zeta  Tau  Alpha

in  the  talent  competition  . 

Resha  Riggins,  sponsored 
by  Sigma  Chi,  claimed  the 
top  honor  of  Miss  Entre 
Nous  1987.  The  junior 
biology   major   from   Truss- 


ville  said,  "I  felt  very  un- 
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. 

Riggins  said  that  the  Miss

not  look  down  on  Christian

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

off  a  spectacular  Jan  Term!" 

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

see  favorite  teachers  dressed 
as  rabbits. 


"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'

Awards  and  Committee 


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.  □

In   addition   to 
the     students 
who     worked

perfect     their 
show  for  com-

talent  to  make  the  show  a

The  band  and  the  non-

many  hours  of  rehearsal 
time.  Their  hard  work 
helped  round  out  the  event 
and  provided  some  excellent 
entertainment.

required  to  try  out  for  their

In  the  tradition  of  past 
Step  Sing  shows,  Delta 
Omicron,  a  professional  so- 
rority for  music  majors,  pro- 
vided the  fanfare  with  the 
theme  "In  The  Mood."  They 
tried  to  get  the  audience 
ready  for  the  entertainment 
they  were  about  to  witness. 
In  a  beautiful  rendition  of 
"The  Sound  of  Music"  and  a 
bold  ending  with  "On  With 
the  Show,"  the  sisterhood 
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 
Sharon  Pate  and  Cara  Lott. 

A  grand  finale  was  pro- 
vided by  the  brothers  of  Phi 
Mu  Alpha,  Hie  national  pro-

fessional  music  fraternity  for 
men.  Their  show  traditional- 
ly wrapped  up  the  entertain- 
ment for  the  night. 

Their  theme  was  "When 
the  Going  Gets  Tough." 
They  tried  to  convey  to  the 
audience  that  no  matter  how 
bad  things  are  going  one 
should  never  give  up.  Songs 
included  "Lonesome  Loser," 
"Best  of  Times,"  "It  Won't 
Rain  Always,"  "Second 
Wind,"  and  "You're 
Alright."  The  show  was 
directed  by  Keith  Warden 
and  choreographed  by  Ran- 
dall Chism  and  Keith 
Warden. 

Mike  Hunter,  a  senior 
music  education  major  from 
Tucker,  Ga.,  said,  "I  was  in 
both  Sigma  Chi's  show  and 
Phi  Mu  Alpha's;  it  made  it 
more  exciting  and  challeng- 
ing. I  really  enjoyed  Phi  Mu 
Alpha's  because  there  was 
no  pressure  and  it  was  a  real- 
ly fun  show  to  do."  □

always  ex-

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

not  being  able  to  shag  in  the

sidelines  to  add  atmosphere

old  favorites  like  "Deep

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-

to  do  a  cowboy  theme."  □

Directed  by  Brock  Ballard 
and  choreographed  by  Kim 
Knowles,  the  group  sang 
"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-

and  Cynthia  McKenzie 
worked  hard  to  make  the  au-

The  sophomore  class

"Down  the  Yellow  Brick

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-

Once  again  the 
Women's 
Division  of- 
fered stiff 
competition. 
Each  group  deserved  to 
win,  but  only  two  could  take 
home  trophies.  Zeta  Tau 
Alpha  placed  first  in  the  divi- 
sion with  its  theme  of  "Le 
Jazz  Hot,"  directed  by  Julie 
Clark  and  choreographed  by 
Edith  Foster  and  Michelle 
Spencer.  From  the  Birm- 
ingham famous  "Tuxedo 
Junction"  to  "All  That 
Jazz,"  the  audience  relived 
the  Golden  Age  of  Jazz.  With 
black  lights,  the  Zeta's  add- 
ed a  special  effect  of  white 
gloves  shining  on  a  dark 
stage  that  was  a  real  crowd 
pleaser. 

The  sisters  of  Phi  Mu 
placed  second  with  "The 
Final  Curtain,"  a  tribute  to 
Judy  Garland,  directed  by 
Resha  Riggins  and 
choreographed  by  Linda 
Fortunis,     Melisa    Goodwin 

Choreographer  Maribeth

into  her  moves  during  Chi

sophomore  from  Cape  Coral, 
Fla. 


and  Terri  Tucker.  With 
"That's  Entertainment," 
"Moon  River,"  "Sewanee," 
"Zing  Went  The  Strings  Of 
My  Heart,"  "Be  A  Clown," 
"Alexander's  Ragtime 
Band"  and  "Hey  Look  Me 
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- 
mertime," "The  Man  I 
Love,"  "Someone  To  Watch 
Over  Me,"  "Who  Cares"  and 
"S'Wonderful"  to  "Em- 
braceable  You,"  the  show 
sparkled  with  reminiscence 
of  Gershwin's  day. 

"I  was  really  proud  of  our 
show  this  year,"  said  presi- 
dent Shelly  Hill.  "I  think  it 

David  Rigg

was  the  best  we  have  ever 
performed,  and  I  know  next 
year  we  can  go  one  step 
better." 

The  audience  was  taken 
through  the  magic  wonders 
of  Disneyland  as  the  sisters 
of  Chi  Omega  saluted  Walt 
Disney.  Celeste  King 
directed  the  show  and  it  was 
choreographed  by  Maribeth 
Zwayer.  With  the  colors  of 
the  rainbow,  the  audience 
was  whisked  away  to  "Wish 
(Jpon  A  Star"  with  old  favor- 
ites such  as  "Zip-A-Dee-Do- 
Da,"  "A  Spoonful  of  Sugar," 
"I've  Got  No  Strings,"  "Bear 
Necessities,"  "It's  A  Small 
World"  and  "M-l-C-K-E-Y 
M-O-O-S-E,"  they  became 
part  of  Disney's  "Small 
World."  D

Rain  certainly 
did  not  dampen 
the  winning 
spirits  of  Alpha 
Delta  Pi.  For 
the  third  con- 
secutive year,  the  sorority 
won  the  coveted  Sweep-

before  accomplished  by  any 
group.

an  A  Cappella  round  of

Rain,"  "Trickle  Trickle," 
"It's  Raining  Men,"  "Don't

"Raindrops  Keep  Falling  on

Directed  by  Kim  Thornhill 
and  choreographed  by  Don- 
na Collins  and  Belinda  Kir- 
cus,  Alpha  Delta  Pi  certainly 
broke  some  sun  through  the 
clouds  with  its  award- 
winning  theme. 

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, 
caused  the  group  many 
headaches.  The  original  item 
was  yellow,  but  with  so 
many  hours  of  practice,  they 
wore  out  easily  and  had  to  be 
replaced  with  the  white  ones 
for  the  weekend  perfor- 
mances. 

Friday  and  Saturday  were 

Bryan  Mizzell 


the  only  nights  of  the  entire 
three  weeks  that  they  did 
not  have  trouble  opening 
and  closing  the  umbrellas,  or 
have  them  flip  inside  out. 

"We  tried  to  keep  a 
positive  attitude  and  try 
hard,"  said  Scotty  Mitchell, 
a  sophomore  architectual 
design  major  from  Valdosta, 
Ga.  "We  thought  our  show 
was  original,  we  had  faith  in 
it  and  tried  to  show  our  ex- 
citement." Their  Step  Sing 
committee  members  includ- 
ed Christy  Choyce,  Beverly 
Jones,  Tracy  Kile  and  Sonya 
McCrary. 

The  show  was  definitely 
filled  with  excitement,  as  the 
yellow  costumes  overflowed 
onto  the  stage  when  the  win- 
ners were  announced.  □

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." 

Thursday  night,  the  Stu- 
dent Government  Associa- 
tion sponsored  movies,  in-

Off  and  Nightmare  on  Elm 
Street,  Part  Three.  For  the

event,  the  Spring  Fling 
Committee  rented  one  of  the 
theatre's  at  Cobb  Theatre 
Green  Springs.  Students 
also  received  discount 
tickets.  Groups  were  given 
points  for  attending  these 
events,  which  contributed  to 
the  overall  winning  score. 

Friday  afternoon  the 
seniors  and  faculty  played  a 
Softball  game  on  the  quad. 
Many  students  were  surpris- 
ed to  see  their  professors 
show  up  for  class  in  shorts 
and  T-shirts. 

The  seniors  managed  to 
hold  their  own  and  they 
defeated  the  faculty  team, 
which  was  coached  by 
speech  teacher  and  debate 
coach  Skip  Coulter.  The 
game  preceded  the  swim- 
ming events,  which  were 
held  in  the  indoor  pool. 

The  swimming  events 
took  place  Friday  afternoon. 
Dana  Phillips,  a  freshman 
from  Middletown,  Ohio, 
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, 
"I  think  Spring  Fling  was  a 
great  way  for  greeks  and  in- 
dependents to  get  together. 
When  you  look  in  the 
balcony  of  the  pool  and  see 
greeks  and  independents  sit- 
ting together  and  laughing 
together,  it's  a  good  thing." 

The  semi-formal  dance 
was  held  Friday  night  at  the 
Carraway  Convention  Cen- 
ter. According  to  Bevill,  ap- 
proximately 190  people  at- 
tended the  dance. 

Debbie  Flaker,  a  junior 
from  Brentwood,  Tenn., 
said,  "I  liked  the  video-disc 
jockey.  He  played  a  real 
good  selection  of  music.  The 
Carraway  House  was  an  ex- 
cellent place  to  have  the 
dance." 

At  the  dance,  Sherri  Han- 
nah, vice-president  of  the 
senate  announced  the  new 
Mr.  and  Miss  Samford. 
Students  voted  on  Larry  Yar- 
borough,  a  senior  from 
Franklin,  Tenn.,  as  Mr.  Sam- 
ford  and  Stacia  Sinclair,  a 
senior  from  Birmingham,  as

selected  by  their  peers  as 
the  students  who  most 
represented  the  ideals  of  the 
University.  It  was  a  "best 
all-around"  type  of  honor. 
Spring  Fling  was  chosen  as 
the  most  appropriate  place 
to  announce  their  honor, 
even  though  they  represent 
the  University  throughout 
the  year. 

The  track  and  field  events 
were  held  Saturday  morning 
which  was  a  change  from 
previous  years.  The  events 
included  various  individual 
and  relay  races,  a  Softball

The  announcement  of  the 
winners  on  Saturday  after- 
noon culminated  the  events 
of  Spring  Fling  week. 

Rick  Traylor,  associate 
dean  of  students  and  direc- 
tor of  student  activities, 
said,  "I  think  we've  had  an 
extremely  hard-working 
committee.  We've  had  a  lot 
of  people  involved.  It's  a 
good  start  and  something  to 
build  on." 

Burns  said,  "I  think  it's 
been  an  exciting  week. 
We've  learned  a  lot  and 
hopefully  united  the  student 


body." 

Houston  Byrd,  a 
sophomore  from  Spring  Hill,

good  way  to  improve 
organizational  relations.  It 
was  well  planned  and  it  had 
a  good  turn  out." 

Anne  Wilson,  a  freshman

has  been  a  great  opportunity 
for  the  different  organiza- 
tions to  interact  in  a  com- 
petitive and  school-spirited 
way." 

Cade  Peeper  said,  "I  hope 
this  year's  Spring  Fling  has 
ignited  the  students  to 
become  more  active  in 
student  activities  in  the 
future."  D

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.

bestowed  upon  Claude  Otis 
Brooks,  pastor  of  Vestavia

After  the  ceremonies,  a 
reception  was  held  in  the 
yard  between  Leslie  S. 
Wright  Concert  Hall  and  the 
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 
by  Emmett  Johnson,  presi- 
dent of  Baptist  Medical 
Centers.  James  R.  Chasteen, 
president  of  Athens  State 
College  and  John  C.  Calhoun 
Community  College,  ad- 
dressed the  students. 

Cumberland  School  of 
Law  students  received 
diplomas  on  Sunday  after-

College  Station,  Texas.  John 
J.  Duncan,  U.S.  con- 
gressman from  Tennessee, 
addressed  the  graduates 
about  to  receive  their  juris 
doctor  degrees. 

Amid  all  the  pomp  and 
circumstance  of  Graduation 
and  Baccalaureate  there 
were  some  graduates  who, 
for  a  variety  of  reasons,  put 
their  own  personal  touch  on

Several  students  ignored 
the  times  set  by  the  ad- 
ministration to  be  at  Reid 
Chapel  before  Baccalaureate 
and  had  to  jump  in  line  just 
as  the  graduates  were  about 
to  enter  the  doorways  of 
Leslie  S.  Wright  Concert 
Hall. 

Some  of  the  same 
students  did  the  same  thing 
the  morning  of  Graduation 
and  thus  messed  up  the  en- 
tire alphabetical  order  of  the 
ceremony.  Kathy  Jackson 
took  the  situation  in  hand 
and  found  their  name  cards 
and  secured  their  place  in 
line. 

Some  students  decided  to 
add  their  own  touches  to  the 
program  as  they  walked 
across  the  stage  to  accept 
their  diploma. 

Todd  Crider,  the  first  per- 
son to  accept  his  diploma, 
ignored  the  request  that 
male  graduates  wear  slacks 
and  black  shoes  He  walked

across  the  stage  wearing 
faded  blue  jeans  and  worn 
out  white  leather  tennis 
shoes.  A  few  minutes  later, 
Guy  Boozer  made  the  same 
comment  by  wearing  the 
same  outfit.  When  asked 
how  he  felt  about  wearing 
the  jeans  and  tennis  shoes 
across  the  stage,  Boozer 
replied,  "It  was  great!" 

The  last  person  to  make  a 
statement  was  Leslie  Gann. 
After  accepting  her  diploma 
Gann  bent  down  to  the 
crowd  to  show  the  top  of  her 
mortarboard,  where  she  had 
taped  letters  that  spelled  the 
message  "Happy  50th  Dad- 
dy." The  crowd  applauded 
with  approval. 

These  bits  of  non- 
conformity showed  that 
University  graduates  each 
possessed  different  per- 
sonalities even  though  they 
spent  four  years  at  the  same 
school.  □

In      a 
year 
full  of 
disap- 
point- 
ments,    keeping     a 
good     attitude     be- 
came a  major  job  in 
the      athletic 
department. 

The  athletic  pro- 
gram lost  Head  Foot- 
ball  Coach  Kim 
Alsop  and  Head 
Basketball  Coach 
Mel  Hankinson. 
These  losses  were 
sandwiched  between 
the  resignations  of 
Tennis  Coach  Les 
Longshore  and 
Baseball  Coach  J.  T. 
Haywood,  all  in  a 
flurry   of   controver- 


sy. In  the  wake  of  fir- 
ings and  resignations 
Paul  Dietzel  decided 
to  leave  the  CJniver- 
sity's  troubled 
athletic  program 
behind. 

Although  the 
department  had  to 
deal  with  many 
upheavals,  the 
teams  were  still  sup- 
ported by  the  stu- 
dent body.  The 
cheerleading  squad 
continued  to  excel, 
and  the  stands  were 
filled  during  home 
football  games. 

Players,  coaches 
and  students  knew 
that,  winning  or  los- 
ing, it  was  all  in  the 
attitude.

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. 
Sammy's  antics  were 
enjoyed  at  football  and 
basketball  games  and 
anywhere  else  the 
cheerleaders     were

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- 
prove their  skills  and 
their  spirit.  Their 
energy  and  en- 
thusiasm could  always 
be  seen.  They  were 
representative  of  the 
student  spirit  and  they 
served  their  duty  well.

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

boosted  the  record  to

With  two  games  re- 
maining, the  Bulldogs 
still  had  a  chance  to 
post  a  winning  season. 
Their  remaining 
match-ups  were 
against  Emory  and 
Henry  and  Central 
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

high  spot  of  the  year 
was  when  we  got  on

with  the  Bulldogs

and  the  third  losing 
season  in  a  row.

Although  Bowden 
may  have  faced  a

coach,  he  did  not  have 
to  deal  with  the

Bowden  would  not

would  his  team  play  a

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 
to  Texas-San  Antonio, 
Mercer,  and  Georgia 
State,  Coach  Hankin- 
son announced  that

with  11,  and  Darrell 
Thomas  with  10. 
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. 


Jumping  to  put  the  ball 
over  the  head  of  a 
Tuskegee  player,  this 
bulldog  player  tries  to 
add  two  points  to  the 
score. 


"We  knew  coming 
in  the  season  that  it 
would  be  difficult,  but. 
our  players,  ad- 
ministration, and  fans 
have  stood  behind  us 
through  the  rough 
times  and  we're  op- 
timistic about  the 
future,"  said  Coach 
Hankinson. 

"I  can't  wait  till  next 
year  because  we  will 
win!"  said  junior 
physical  education 
major  Darron  Hurst. 
"All  eyes  will  certainly 
be  on  the  team  next 
year  after  the  resigna- 
tion of  Coach  Mel 
Hankinson.  Some  were 
surprised  at  the  loss  of 
yet  another  head 
coach,  but  others  felt 
he  was  pressured  to 
resign  by  President 
Corts. 

When  Athletic 
Director  Paul  Dietzel, 
resigned  soon  after- 
wards, the  troubles  of 
the  athletic  depart- 
ment became  painfully 
obvious  to  those  who 
did  not  see  it  before. 
With  the  hiring  of  Ed 
McLean,  the  team  has 
hopes  of  making  a  new

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 

SeaSOn."  ED  -Mike  Manning

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 
excellent  job 
throughout  the  whole 
year." 

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 
Hart  Tournament, 
which  was  a  major  win 
for  the  team.  They 
finished  third  overall, 
and  in  the  Trans- 
America  Tournament 
they  finished  7  of  10. 

"I  was  pleased  with 
the  four  freshmen  who 


Eyeing  a  faraway  shot

The  top  five  golfers 
included  freshman 
Trip  Teaney,  junior 
Mark  Ware,  freshman 
Omina  Fowler, 
freshman   Lee  Manley 


and     junior     Brett

The  "linksters,"  as

team,  which 
consisted  main-

sophomores,  improv-

several  of  the  meets 
they  entered. 

The  women's  team 
was  sparked  by  perfor-

McDavid  in  the  javelin 
throw  and  Dena 
Williams  in  the  half 
mile  and  quarter  mile

Track  Coach  Bill

to  this  year  none  of  the 
tracksters  were  ex- 
posed to  very  good 
collegiate  competition, 
but  by  next  year  they 
would  have  the  ex-

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."

Coach

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 
thought  that  we  had 
just  won  the  World 
Series,"  Haywood  said 
of  the  Florida  State 
victory. 

At  the  Varsity 
Sports  Awards  Ban- 
quet at  the  end  of  the 
year,  the  baseball  team 
gave  out  several  in- 
dividual awards. 

Rex  Tuckier  was 
given  the  John  Russell 
Award  for  pitching. 
Todd  Wingard  and  Les 
McPherson  were 
named  the  Most 
Valuable  Players. 
McPherson  was 
named  the  permanent 
captain.

Wingard  was  also 
given  the  J.T.  Hay-

Haywood  spoke  at  the

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.

cont.  from  pg.  95 

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 
Putt-Putt  and  Games 
for  his  help  in  making 
the  Great  Samford 
Putt-Out  a  success. 

Gold  also  said  he 
commended  the  work 
of  Marsha  Pritchett,  a 
senior  physical  educa- 
tion major  from  Gulf 
Breeze,  Fla.  and 
Donald  Cunningham,  a 
junior  social  studies 
major  from  Griffin, 
Ga.,  for  the  fine  job 
they  did  as  the  in- 
tramural supervisors. 
Pritchett  and  Cunn- 
ingham were  responsi-

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 
volleyball  on  the  quad.  Family 
groups  played  a  variety  of  games 
to  get  to  know  each  other  better. 


end  of  the  weekend  but  family j 
activities  went  on.   Group  ac- 
tivities were  planned  for  Sur 
day  and  later  occasions.  Tr 
families  became  a  support  ffcr 
each     other     that     lasted 
throughout  the  semester. 

Overall,  the  weekend  wis  a 
huge  success.  "The  experience 
was  a  great  opportunity  to 
become  better  acquaintea  with 
people  I  already  knew,  and  also 
to  make  some  new  frienfls.  Our 
family  became  very  clise.  We 
went  to  the  zoo,  had  I  picnic, 
and  planned  reunions/for  each 
month,"  said  Jack  Lajndham,  a 
senior  marketing  nrjajor  from 
Talledega.  □

organization  offered 
many  services  to  the 
BirVningham  area  and  spon- 
sored students  taking  part  in 
mission  work  throughout  the 
counXry.  A  new  addition  to  its 
long  1st  of  ministries  was  the 
popular  puppet  ministry.  Hope 
HaslarrX  a  sophomore  from 
Sante  Ve,  N.M.,  was  the 
organizeXof  the  group. 

She  topk  on  the  challenge 
feeling  quite  inadequate,  but 
she  had  enough  confidence  in 
the  puppeteers  to  keep  the 
show  goingV  There  were  ten 
puppeteers,  \eight  of  whom 
were  freshmen.  Some  were 
very  experienced  and  others 
had  no  experience  at  all.  John

the  team,  used  the  puppets  to 
bring  happiness  to  kids  and 
adults  around  the  community 
as  well  as  University  students. 

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 
love  from  the  puppets  reached 
out  and  touched  the  children 
who  laughed,  talked  back  to  the 
puppets  and  sang  along  on 
favorite  Christmas  carols.

form for  the  crowds  during 
'Dinner  on  the  Dirt."  The  names 
listed  on  the  posters  are  those  of 
students  who  donated  money  to 
World  Hunger. 


Each  member  was  inter- 
viewed by  Ginny  Bridges  before 
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. 

Another  group  that  sought  to 
minister  to  the  community  was 
the  clowning  ministry.  Nancy 
Mann,  a  junior  from  La  Fayette, 
Ga.,  was  the  coordinator  of  the 
group.  There  were  1 1  otf 
students  that1--li<rowned

The  group  began  the  year 
with  a  World  Hunger  Fund

Dinner,    donations    were    col-

lected  for  the  World  Hunger 
Fund.  The  donor's  names/were 
placed  on  a  poster  thai  was 
sealed  inside  the  Beeson 
Woods  bridge  during  ife  con- 
struction. The  effort  raised  $70. 

At  Fall  Carnival,  thfe  group 
sponsored  a  face  /painting 
booth.  They  also  performed  at 
a  nursing  home  /and  the 
Children's  Hospital. 

In  the  spring,  the  iroup  went 
on  a  retreat  where  they  were 
taught  the  fundamentals  of  sign 
language  and  juggljng. 

Mann  said  /'This  time 
brought  us  close/  together  and 
we  showed  significant  improve- 
ment while  having  lots  of  fun. 

The  group  /outlined  some 
future  goals  siwh  as  performing 
with  the  SOLD  groups  during 
orienJaiierTand  being  a  part  of 
?vents  such  as  S-Day  and  foot- 
ball games. 

The   basis  for   the   ministry 
was     the     scripture     Proverbs i 
15:13,  "A  happy  heart  makes/ 
the  face  cheerful  but  heartach* 
crushes     the     spirit."     Thij 
ministry  produced  many  hapf 
faces     while     sharing     tl/e 
message  of  Christ.

December  6th. 

Students  who  paired  up  as

"Mom  and\  Dad"  and  they 
became  a  family  for  the  day. 
Each  family  Vdecided  on  their 
own  what  theylwould  do.

couple,  the  student  activities 
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 
therjasettfes!^"The  satisfaction  I 
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- 
tries, involved  a  group  of  stu- 
dents led  by  Marianne  Folsom, 
a  sophomore  education  major. 
The  students  involved 
themselves  with  the  retarded 
children  at  the  Association  for 
Retarded  Citizens. 

They  were  involved  in  daih 
child  care  and  alsoheipCcTtwo 
days  a^wee^*with  teaching 
children  motor  develop- 
ment skills.  Each  month,  birth- 
day parties  were  given  to  honor 
people  with  birthdays  during 
that  month. 

The  work  was  frustrating  at 
times  but  the  children  grew  to

love  their  "student  teacrfcrs." 
The  love  did  not  only  qp  one 
way. 

"The  first  time  one  /of  the 
children  I  was  working  yith  im- 
itated a  task  I  was  struggling  to 
teach  him,  I  knew  all  the  effort 
was  worthwhile,"  sa/d  Tracy 
Lamb,  a  sophomore  pharmacy 
major.  The  students/who  gave 
of  themselves  to  spend  time 
with  people  who  neaded  it  were 
a  special  breed.  Tr/ey  gave  up 
Saturday  morning  Bleep,  after- 
noon social  time  a«d  other  time 
that  could  have/  been  spent 
studying  in  order/to  help  those 
less  fortunate  than  themselves. 

Campus  Ministries  also  of- 
fered other  Sa/urday  morning 
ministries  that!  students  could 
be  involved  in/such  as  working

students  involved. □

hk  weekly  program 
kripwn  as  Break  Away 
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 
s^en  in  a  different  atmosphere 

sides  the  classroom. 

Listening  to  Dean  Richard 
vTraylor,  Chris  Stearns,  a 
sophomore  religion  major  from 
Huntsville,  learns  from  the  per- 
sonal experiences  Traylor  shares,

Some  professors  and  ad- 
ministrators that  participated 
were:  Dr.  James  Fisk,  Dr.  J. 
Brown,  Dr.  Steve  Bowden,  Dr. 
Lowell  Vann,  Ginny  Bridges, 
Dean  Rick  Traylor,  Dean  Mar- 
tha Ann  Cox,  President 
Thomas  Corts  and  student 
president  of  Campus  Ministries 
Rod  Marshall. 

The  audiences  were  also 
treated  to  a  magic  show  by  a 
Christian  magician  and  many 
students  were  asked  to  sing  at 
the  gatherings. 

The  group  studied  the  book 
of  James  during  the  first 
jemester  and  the  Beatitudes 
durmg>he^econd  semester. 

Each  studywas-^jjlightening 
to  those  who  participate? 
students  were  allowed  to  ex- 
press their  thoughts  and  share 
ideas  with  others  of  their  peer 
group.  The  time  was  a  learning 
experience  for  both  students 
and    speakers.     Some    special

meetings  included  a  program 
given  by  a  Jewish  rabbi  and 
performances  by  Koinonia  and

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;

this  year  and  it  became  anf  ex-

In  the  past  the  groufo  had 
been  under  one  name,  and  the

Baptist  Student  Gnion/itle  was 
the  BSG  choir,  but  witR  the  new 
division,  more  opportunities  for 
ministry  will  be  opened.  The 
group  will  participate  in  state-

have  in  the  past,  as  well  as  be-

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."

s  the  seasons  turned 
from  fall  to  winter  and 
the  semester  dragged 
thVough  final  exams,  students 
turned  their  attention  to  the  up- 
coming holiday  season. 

It\  held  many  traditional 
events  for  all  individuals.  One 
of  Wie  most  treasured

the  hearts  of  old  and  new 
members  of  the  community.

highlightslof  the  season.  New 
students  asked  lots  of  ques- 
tions to  firld  out  just  exactly

about. 

On  Decemr3er  2,  a  traditional

The  ceremony  honored  out- 
standing seniors.  They  were

served  as  narrators  for  the

Traditional  ceremonies  of 
the  evening  included  the 
Lighting  of  the  Advent  Wreath, 
the  Holly  and  the  Ivy,  the 
Lighting  of  the  Chapel,  the 
First  Christmas  Tree,  and  the 
Lighting  of  the  Chrismon  Tree.

Music  for  the  service  was

music,  congregational  singing 
provided  the  service  with  add-_ 
ed  warmth. 

PerhapsJJae^lTibst  striking 
pirational  portion  of  the 
service  was  the  candle  lighting 
ceremony.  It  was  characterized 
by  a  responsive  reading  and  the 
simultaneous  lighting  of  can- 
dles by  the  senior  honorees. 

"He  is  the  true  light  which 

David  Rigg 


lighteth  every  man  that  cometh 
into  the  world.  As  each  of  us 
receives  our  light  from  'the/true 
light'  every  man  will  take  his 
witness  into  the  light  to  Dispel

shed  abroad  this  'true  ligrt,'  our 
only  hope  for  'Pea^e  On 
Earth.'  "

many  things  to  many  people.  It 
was  a  time  for  turning  to  cher- 
ished memories  of  Cnristmas. 

Of  all  the  meanings  that  were 
attached,  perhaps  tJfte  most  ac- 
curate was  an  explanation  of 
the  service.  "Frc/n  the  large 
center  candle,  th*  Christ  can-

Their  big  ministry  was  in 
youth  rallies  said  group  director 
Rick  Bearden.  Bearden,  a 
sophomore  religion  major  from 
Eclectic,  took  over  the  group 
when  it  needed  a  leader,  and 
was  responsible  for  organizing 
and  booking  many  of  the 
performances. 

Bearden  said  they  had  a  busy 
year  which  started  earlier  than 
most.  In  addition  to  the  youth 
rallies,  they  performed  for  a 
Valentine's  banquet,  and  they 
also  combined  their  talents

High  School  age  students  at-

which  were  held  as  part  of  an 
associational  meeting  on  their

The  group  grew  close  as  they 
met  once  a  week  to  practice 
and  pray  together.  They  held 
Bible  studies  that  helped  them 
grow  in  their  faith  as  well  as 
growing  together  as  a  group.

Bearden  said.  "We  took  a  much

arch,  a  year  ago,  Tony 
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- 
ceDj^foftJmy  Grandmother,"  he 
said.  Helfled  to  the  French 
Quarter,  not  far  from  his  home. 

Tony  b«gan  peddling  shoe 
shines  andlconning  tourists  to 
survive.  A \" sugar  daddy,"  a 
name  for  homosexual  men  who 
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.  □

Under  the  direction  of 
Billy  Payne,  the  BSU 
choir  grew  into  a  con- 
solidated group  that  offered 
real  talent  to  its  audiences. 

The  main  ministry  of  the 
choir  was  in  the  local  churches 
where  they  were  asked  to  per- 

David  Rigg 


form  for  services.  They  also 
sang  in  convocations  on  a 
regular  basis. 

"Our  ministry  to  the  chur- 
ches included  not  only  singing, 
but  puppets  and  drama  as 
well,"  Payne  said.  "We  tried  to 
do  a  well-rounded  program  of 


worship." 

The  group  also  reached 
beyond  the  local  area  with  its 
trip  to  New  Orleans  Baptist 
Theological  Seminary  for  a 
mission  conference  in 
November. 

In  the  spring  they  traveled  to 


Washington,   D.C.,   to  perform 
for  churches  all  over  the  area. 

"The  choir  has  helped  me  to 
grow  more  in  my  Christian  faith 
because  of  the  emphasis  placed 
on  spirituality,"  said  Brian  Nix.

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

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."

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.

Spy  Swap 


Nicholas  Daniloff,  Moscow  cor-

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.

resign  after  it  was  re- 
vealed he  had  an  affair 
seven  years  ago.  Bakker 
admitted  he  and  secretary 
Jessica  Hahn  had  a  sexual 
encounter  in  a  Florida

marital  problems  with  his

Jerry  Falwell,  host  of

denied  the  charges,  he  was  unable  to

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- 
mained as  Boston's  last  road  block  to  the 
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

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 
Baker.  Regardless  of  the  out- 
come, the  Reagan  Ad- 
ministration spent  some 
time  repairing  the  United 
States'  reputation  at  home

Iceland  Summit  Useless 


Associated  Press 

President  Ronald  Reagan  and  Soviet  leader  Mikhail  Gorbachev  met  in  Reykjavik, 
Iceland,  for  a  two-day  summit  in  October  to  discuss  arms  control.  The  two  leaders 
reached  an  impasse  on  testing  of  the  U.S.  Star  Wars  weaponry. 


resident 
Reagan's 
Strategic 
Defense  Initiative 
made  any  arms 
agreement  with 
Soviet  leader 
Mikhail  Gorbachev 
impossible  at  Oc- 
tober's summit 
meeting  in  Reyk- 
javik, Iceland. 

The  hastily  called 
conference  in  Reyk- 
javik had  been 
billed  as  a  pre- 
summit.  But  when 
Gorbachev  showed 
up  with  a  series  of 
sweeping  new  pro- 
posals, the  United 
States  was  forced 
to  call  in  top  Amer- 


can  arms  negoti- 
ators to  study  the 
plan. 

Unfortunately, 
Gorbachev's  fear  of 
Strategic  Defense 
Initiative  and 
Reagans  stub- 
borness  to  continue 
research  made  the 
summit  a  bitter 
disappointment. 

The  world  watch- 
ed in  frustration  as 
two  days  in  a 
hopeful  discussion 
ended  in  stalemate 
over  a  single 
obscure  defense 
theory  that  may 
never  be  developed 
fully. 

Gorbachev  would 
not  relent  in  his  in- 


sistence that 
Reagan's  cher- 
ished Star  Wars 
plan,  designed  to 
serve  as  a 
space-based 
shield  against 
ballistic  missiles, 
be  confined  to 
'laboratory 
research.' 
Reagan  was 
equally  adamant 
that  the  U.S.  re- 
tain the  right  not 
only  to  conduct 
scientific  re- 
search on  new 
weapons  but  to 
develop  and  test 
them  as  well.

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.

number  of  cases  in  the  homosexual  com- 
munity decreased  while  the  number  of 
reported  cases  in  the  heterosexual  com- 
munity doubled. 

To  educate  the  nation,  a  huge  public 
awareness  campaign  was  begun.  The  city 
of  New  York  even  distributed  free  condoms 
to  residents  of  the  city  because  of  their  ef- 
fectiveness in  keeping  the  AIDS  virus  from 
spreading  during  sexual  intercourse. 


Toxic  Gas  Kills  1,700  in  Cameroon

face. The  wind  carried  it  across  the  earth, 
and  destruction  with  no  cause  or  cure 
followed  behind  the  poisonous  air  mass. 

Within  minutes,  more  than  1,700  people 
were  dead,  burned  by  steam  and  choked  by

Ferry  Capsizes  off  Belgian  Coast 


Associated  Press 

Two  tugs  are  moored  alongside  the  ferry  "Herald  of  Free  Enterprise, "  as  it  lies  on  its  side  in  the  ocean.  The  ferry  capsized  and 
49  bodies  were  recovered. 


The  To wnsend- 
Thoresen  ferry, 
Herald  of  Free  Enter- 
prise, which  capsized 
after  leaving  the  Belgian 
port  of  Zeebrugge  to 
make  its  daily  journey 
across  the  channel  ended 
its  trip  in  a  disaster  in  the 
middle  of  the  ocean  early 
on  a  Friday  evening  last 
Spring. 

At  least  49  bodies  were 
recovered  and  approx- 
imately 94  people  were 
pronounced  missing  and 
feared  dead.  Only  405 
survived  the  accident. 

The  ferry  capsized 
when  an  operator  in- 
advertently left  a  bow 
door  open  and  water 
began  rushing  into  the 
boat.  The  force  and 
weight  of  the  water  was 
too  much  and  before 
anything  could  be  done, 
the  vessel  capsized.

drought  spread  throughout  the 
Southeast  during  1986.  It  was  the 
worst  dry  spell  on  record. 

At  the  peak  of  the  drought,  crops  wilted 
from  southern  Pennsylvania  all  the  way  in- 
to northern  Florida.  Even  after  some  rain, 
many  farmers  in  the  Carolinas,  Georgia, 
Tennessee  and  Virgina  were  on  the  brink  of 
ruin. 

Farm  Aid,  a  group  of  rock  musicians, 
banded  together  to  give  help  to  the  farmers 
by  staging  a  performance  similar  to  Live 
Aid  in  which  a  mammoth  concert  involving 
all  types  of  musicians  and  artists  per- 
formed before  huge  crowds. 

The  proceeds  from  the  venture  went  to 
help  farmers  all  across  the  nation,  and 
especially  those  farmers  in  the  Midwest 
who  were  suffering  the  brunt  of  the  damag-

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.

©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.

the  University  as  a  token  of  the  honor  the 
senior  class  bestowed  upon  him,  Steve  Bowden

Award.

Giving  his  opinion  on  a  topic  under  discus- 
sion, Dr.  Steve  Bowden  tries  to  challenge 
his  students  into  thinking  through  their  beliefs. 
Bowden  is  a  professor  in  the  religion 
department. 

Asking  a  student  to  voice  her  opinion,  Dr. 
Steve  Bowden  conducts  his  class  as  a 
seminar  rather  than  a  lecture  course.  The  ethics 
class  he  teaches  has  always  been  popular 
among  students.

Whether  truly  interested  or  merely  focusing 
their  eyes  on  the  teacher,  these 
freshmen  pay  attention  and  take  notes  during  a 
Monday  morning  class. 

Music  professor  Randall  Richardson  lec- 
tures freshmen  who  are  interested  in 
becoming  music  majors.  Freshmen  were  re- 
quired to  take  a  forum  class  that  pertained  to 
their  major.

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

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-

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.  □

Computer  Labs 


he  new  computer  facilities  were  installed  in 
Brooks  Hall  turning  the  entire  third  floor  in- 
jtoa  computer  area.

^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

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 


Sitting  dejectedly  on  the  stage  Linus  hangs 
onto  his  blanket  for  support  as  he  listens  to 
his  sister  Lucy  deliver  one  of  her  famous  long 
speeches.

Fiesty  Miss  Amelia,  played  by  senior  Nicole 
Vanoy,  argues  with  Henry  Macy,  played  by 
senior  Paul  Johnson,  at  a  table  in  the  cafe.  In 
the  background  sits  Merlie  Ryan,  one  of  the 
residents  of  the  town,  who  was  played  by 
Ashley  Vance. 

Preparing  to  force  his  way  into  Miss  Amelia's 
home,  Marvin  Macy,  played  by  senior 
theater  major  Jeff  Gilliam,  leans  against  the 
side  of  Miss  Amelia's  cafe.  The  play  dealt  with 
the  confrontation  between  Miss  Amelia  and 
Marvin  Macy.

The  Ballad  of  the  Sad  Cafe

_!!___     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.  □ 

—  Hallie  Von  Hagen 


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 
and  think  of  Birmingham  has  come  out

office  in  Samford  Hall.  Going  over  reports  and 
statistics  took  up  much  of  the  president's  time, 
although  he  was  always  ready  to  discuss  issues 
with  students. 

Discussing  school  policies  over  a  cup  of  coffee, 
President  Corts  meets  with  students  in  the 
colonade  room  to  answer  questions  and  explain 
issues.

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.

held  on  Friday,  and  climaxed 
the  competition  of  Derby 
Week.

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."  □

Beverly  Jones,  a 
senior 
mathematics 
major  from  Mont- 
gomery, and  a  member 
of  the  Alpha  Delta  Pi 
sorority,  was  named 
Greek  Goddess  April  13 
at  the  Greek  Pageant. 

Jones,  who 
represented  Lambda 
Chi  Alpha  fraternity 
said,  "I  was  excited 
because  Lambda  Chi 
has  put  me  up  in  the 
pageant  for  four  years 
and  I  finally  won  for 
them." 

Mike  Brock,  a  Sigma 
Chi  from  Marietta,  Ga., 
was  named  Greek  God. 
He  was  sponsored  by 
Alpha  Delta  Pi. 

Brock,  a  sophomore 
marketing  major,  said, 
"I  was  surprised  and 
honored,  and  I  was  a  lit- 
tle embarrassed!" 

Each  Greek  organiza- 
tion provided  entertain- 
ment for  the  pageant, 
and  Laura  Scott,  a 
freshman  Zeta  Tau 
Alpha  from  German- 
town,  Tenn.,  won  the 
talent     competition. 

Scott,  an  accounting 
major,      sang      (Jn- 


shakeable  Kingdom  and 
received  a  standing 
ovation. 

Scott  received  a  silver 
tray  and  $25  donated  to 
World  Hunger  in  the 
name  of  her  organiza- 
tion. 

Other  talent  included 
the  Lambda  Chi  Alpha 
band  and  an  original 
song  about  friendship 
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 
competition.  Greek  God 
was  selected  on  the 
basis  of  a  vote  by  the 
audience  when  they 
came  through  the  door. 
The  event  was  well- 
attended  by  the  student 
body  as  they  turned  out 
to  support  the  members 
of  their  group. 

The  cheers  and 
whistles  in  the  audience 
showered  approval  on 
the  girls  as  they 
modeled  sportswear  and 
evening  looks. 

Appreciative  ap- 
plause were  given  to  the 
Greek  God  Contestants, 


as  dressed  in  tuxedos, 
they  escorted  the  girls 
and  presented  them 
with  a  single  red  rose. 

Scholarship  winners 
were  Emory  Berry, 
sponsored  by  Chi 
Omega,  and  Beverly 
Jones,  and  leadership 
winners  were  Steve 
Davidson,  sponsored  by 
Delta  Zeta,  and  Kim 
Thornhill,  sponsored  by 
Alpha  Delta  Pi. 

Second  runner-up 
was  Sherri  Hannah, 
sponsored  by  Zeta  Tau 
Alpha,  and  first  runner- 
up  was  Kim  Williamson, 
sponsored  by  Chi 
Omega. 

Clay  Chaffin,  who 
also  directed  the  Miss 
Entre  Nous  pageant  for 
the  past  two  years,  and 
Joanna  Cook  were  the 
Greek  Pageant 
chairpersons. 

Jones  said  the 
pageant  was  very  well 
organized  and  fun  to  be 
in.  She  said,  "Clay  is 
now  the  professional 
pageant  person  at  Sam- 
ford.  He  was  great. 
Joanna  was  equally 
wonderful.  They  did  a 
good  job. "  D    .Amy  Lawrence

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.

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.

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

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.  □

Delta  Zeta 


Growing  through- 
out the  year,  Del- 
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. 
Pledges  Celita  Pate  and

the  dance   line.   Several

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.

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 
Cerebral  Palsy,  and 
raised  the  most  money 
ever  the  night  they 
made  their  calls. □

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

•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'

Tthe  sisters  of 
Phi  Mu  re- 
mained an  im- 
portant part  of  the 
Greek  system.  They 
were  seen  in  all  areas 
of  campus  life  and 
were  involved  in  the 
everyday  aspects  of 
the  University. 

Among  their  ranks 
were  four  cajoretus, 
who  are  hostesses  for 
the  basketball  team, 
and  five  cheerleaders. 
The  girls  cheered  for  a 
year  and  supported  the 
football  and  basketball 
teams.  All  were  re- 
elected to  cheer  for 
next  season. 

Rhonda  Garrett,  a

an  exciting  weekend

party  consisted  of  a  for-

with  dinner  and  a  tux, 
and  a  casual  night  in 
which  the  girls  could 
kick  back  and  have  fun. 

They  also  held  a

and  a  semi-formal  in  the

Pi  Kappa  Alpha 


■J 


The  brothers  of 
Pi  Kappa  Alpha 
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 
themselves  and  their 
little  sisters.  They  also

held  the  annual  House 
Party  in  Fort  Walton 
Beach,  Fla. 

The  brothers  and  their 
dates  used  the  laid-back 
weekend  to  relax  and  get 
a  tan  before  the  hectic 
schedules  of  exam  week 
took  up  all  their  free  time. 

In  addition  to  these 
social  events,  they  had  a 


Halloween  party,  spon- 
sored a  little  sister  and  a 
brother  in  the  Greek 
pageant,  and  held  various 
mixers  with  sororities. 

The  brothers  establish- 
ed a  weekly  Bible  study 
and  they  had  very  good 
attendance.  This  served 
to  strengthen  their 
brotherhood    and    estab-

■Mark  Thompson 


lished  their  ideals  of 
"friendship,  love  and 
truth." 

For  the  first  time 
since  1985,  the  brothers 
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 
they  succeeded  in  bet- 
tering themselves  with 
respect  to  the  student 
body.  □

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.  " 

■Tommy  Fuller 


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.

...  an  opportunity  to 
develop  friendships  by 
which  I  can  benefit  for  a

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 
Nous. 

As  the  newest  fraterni- 
ty on  campus,  2X  did  not 
have  a  house.  The  Zeiger 
house,    otherwise    known 


44  Our  differences  allow  us  to 
be  closer  in  the  one  bond 
that  we  share.  "        -Charles  wait 


as  temporary  housing, 
came  under  considera- 
tion as  a  permanent 
home  for  the  brothers. 

The  brothers  and 
the  national  organiza- 
tion considered  plans 
to  spend  approximate- 
ly $50,000  to  renovate 
the  house. 

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  men's  overall  in- 
tramural trophy  during 
spring  Awards  Day. 

The  group  went 
beyond  sports  and  parties 
to  have  the  highest 
chapter   GPA.   They  also 


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 
relations  for  this  group  as 
well  as  the  greek  system 
in  general.

Under  the  direction 
of  Greg  Berry,  the

to  many  University 
events  including  football 
halftimes  and  entertain- 
ment during  basketball 
season.  The  band  offered

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

perform.  □  -Eddie  Lightsey

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-

were  a  familiar  campus

One  of  the  main  goals

to  find  a  permanent  place 
in  which  to  hold  their

group  had  to  cut  through 
many  miles  of  red  tape  to 
find  a  place  to  call  home.

the  RAs  were  there  to 
make  the  transition

they  began  their  college

Junior  Debbie  Flaker,

"This  was  my  first  year  to

They  were  responsible 
for  "working  the  desk"  in 
the  lobbies  of  Vail,  C.J., 
Smith  and  Pittman  dorms 
from  8  p.m.  to  1  a.m. 
every  night.  They  also  at- 
tended meetings  with 
Housing  Director  Tim 
Hebson,  and  worked 
closely  with  the 
housemothers  in  the 
women's  dormitories. 

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 
special  person  to  be  there 
when  a  student  is 
homesick,  lonely  or 
whatever.  You  have  to  be  a 
mother,  counselor, 
listener,  teacher,  nurse 
and  friend-someone  who's 
attentive,  alert  and  who 
has  a  good  attitude. "  □

Math  Club 


Math  Club 
enjoyed  socializing 


Of  all  the  organiza- 
tions, probably 
the  most  mis- 
understood was  the  Math 
Club. 

Contrary  to  popular 
belief,  we  are  not  a  bunch 
of  nerds  who  sit  around 
and  solve  math  problems, 
said  Math  Club  President 
Sherry  Brasfield.  "We  are 
a  very  social  organization 
and  I  think  that  is  what  I'll 
miss  the  most,  that  and

twisting  and  fitting 
numbers  into  formulas,  this

vantage in  the  precarious 
game  of  Twister. 


the  family  atmosphere 
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 
tournament  and  a 
seminar  held  for  com- 
puter science  majors  with 
GAB     graduate     Robert 

Hyatt.  □  -Eddie  Lighlsey

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 
before  any  other  publica- 
tion.  Lee  Coggin

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 
met  to  come  up  with  a 
theme  for  the  book.  It's 
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-

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

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-

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.

An  Entre  Pious  graphic 


Depicting  the  land- 
scape planned  for 
the  property  on 
Lakeshore  Drive  across 
from  the  University,  this 
map  shows  how  the  area 
will  look  in  10  years  if 
plans  go  according  to 
schedule. 


The  University's 
decision  to 
develop  180 
acres  of  land  it  owns 
south  of  Lakeshore 
Drive  brought  both 
promise  of  money  for 
the  endowment  and  a 
fight  from  Homewood 
residents. 

President  Thomas 
Corts  announced  last 
September  the 
development  would  be 
a  joint  effort  along  with 
the  Trammell  Crow 
Co. 

Crow  officials 
estimated  the  planned 
development,  pro- 
jected to  be  built  over 


Planning  Commission 
in  which  initial  ap- 
proval was  given  for 
the  development,  she 
said,  "This  is  not  a  city 
problem.  It  is  a  Baptist 
problem.  If  they  are 
going  to  turn  that 
school  into  a  money 
maker  at  the  expense 


of  lawsuits  were 
leveled  against  the 
Council.  The  Home- 
wood  Homeowners 
Assoc  ia  t  ion  im- 
mediately began  a 
fund  drive  to  finance 
the  legal  action.  John 
DeBuys,  lawyer  for  the 
association,     said     a

a  10-year  period, 
would  likely  involve 
$150  million  worth  of 
housing,  retail,  office 
and  hotel  space. 

However,  residents 
whose  homes  sur- 
rounded the  property 
were  not  at  all  thrilled 
with  the  new  money- 
mak  ing  venture. 
Sherry  Traywick  was 
one  of  the  more  vocal 
residents  opposed  to 
the  development. 

Following  a  meeting 
of     the     Homewood 


of  our  homes,  then 
they  are  not  like  any 
Christian  I've  ever 
met."

After  the 
Homewood  City  Coun- 
cil rezoned  the  proper- 
ty and  gave  its  final 
approval  for  the 
development,     threats 


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.

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- 
creased, as  they 
have  every  year  when 
construction  and  special 
events  drove  students 
and  teachers  to  park  in  il- 
legal spaces  in  order  to 
make  it  to  classes  and  ap- 
pointments on  time. 

As  more  and  more 
students  brought  their 
cars  to  school,  the  park- 
ing situation  grew  into  a 
mammoth  problem  for 
anyone  who  drove  a  car 
onto  campus. 

Several  spots  by  the 
religion  building  were 
eliminated  while  con- 
struction on  the  Beeson 
Woods  bridge  was  under 
way. 

Even   after   the   trucks 


Lined  up  along  the  fire 
lane,  cars  that  could  not 
find  a  space  in  Pittman  Cir- 
cle or  resident  parking  risk 
getting  a  ticket  in  order  to 
park  close  to  the  buildings. 

and  other  equipment 
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 
front  of  the  gym  as  well

Parking  Problems 


Swell  as  the  parking  lot 
next  to  the  education 
,building,  and  the  large 
Iparking    lot    that    ac- 
fcommodated      the 
presidents  of  Vail  dorm. 
An  additional  park- 
ting   lot  was   paved   in 
'the     area    above    the 
•(physical  plant,  but  this 
nowhere  near  replaced 
i  the  already  inadequate 
(parking     beside     Vail. 
The  overflow  of  cars 
spilled  down  to  fill  up 
jPittman      parking 
■I  spaces     and     teacher 
ijparking    next    to    the 
^education  building. 

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 


PARKING 


THERE'S  NOT 


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- 
ing lot,  the  beautiful 
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 
man,  Sheryll  Free,  a 
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 
afford  the  doubtlessly  ex- 
orbitant prices  they 
would  charge.  1  thought  it 
would  never  work. 

The  months  rolled  by, 
and  Macy's  did  eventually 
open.  Of  course,  it  didn't 
just  open  like  other  de- 
partment stores.   Macy's 

David  Rigg 


Enjoying  the  festivities  in 
the  children's  depart- 
ment, this  small  family 
member  is  greeted  by  a 
lifesize  Popeye  the  Sailor 
Man  as  he  entertains  with 
other  whimsical  characters 
during  the  Grand  Opening. 


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. 

The    clout    of    a    card 


Pushing  buttons  in  an  ef- 
fort to  retrieve  money 
from  the  Alert  machine  in  the 
student  center,  Darissa 
Brooks,  a  freshman  biology 
major  from  Williamsburg, 
Ky.,  tries  to  figure  out  how 
the  machine  works.

from  the  new  Macy's 

department     store     in 

the  Galleria  was  hard 

to     overlook      and 

students     filled     their 

wallets     with     the 

fashionable    ensemble 

of     Rich's,     Parisian's 

and  Macy's  cards. 

The    gas   card    was 

I  also     well-used     and 

;   many    students    were 

|;  able     to     obtain     the 

I  family's  card  and  thus 

|  charge  the  expense  to 

I  home.  It  also  came  in 

I  handy  for  those  unex-

:  came  along  when  a  car

I  Machines  were  a  vital 

j  part     of    a     student's

quick  cash  was  a  must 

on    those    nights    that 

one  just  couldn't  stand 

another    bite    of    cafe 

food. 


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.  □

second  round.

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

Cruisin'  down  the 
sidewalks  of  the  quad, 
Chris  Davis,  a  senior  English 
major  from  Laurel,  Md.  and 
David  Burdeshaw,  a 
freshman  music  education 
major  from  Montgomery, 
release  pent-up  energy  by 
exercising. 

through  the  twists  and 
turns  of  the  sidewalks 
that  crisscrossed  the 
quad. 

The  steep  hills  which 
characterized  the  campus 
also  made  the  University 
an  excellent  place  to 
practice  the  sport. 

Matt  Burton,  a  sopho- 


more economics  major 
from  Orlando,  Fla.,  said 
that  campus  was  a  good 
place  to  experience  the 
thrills. 

"I've  been  around  it 
(skateboarding)  all  my 
life,"  Burton  said.  "I  wish 
it  could  get  bigger  and  in- 
volve more  people." 

"I  do  it  in  an  effort  to 
relax,"  senior  William 
Reed  said.  "It's  a  good 
way  to  get  away  from 
everything  and  just 
think!"

Answering  Machines 


M 


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- 

David  Rigg 


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

Students  did  not  have 
to  go  far  from  cam- 
pus to  find  the  latest  in 
movie  entertainment. 

In  addition  to  the  cable 
television  that  was  in- 
stalled in  Beeson  Woods, 
monthly  campus  movies, 
Video  Theatre  and  video 
rentals  offered  students 
pleasant  study  breaks. 

To  provide  students 
with  the  in-theater  feel- 
ing, the  brothers  of  Alpha 
Phi  Omega  showed  reel- 
to-reel  full  length  feature 
films  in  Dwight  Beeson 
auditorium. 

The  sisters  of  Gamma 
Sigma  Phi  also  provided 
students  who  attended 
the  films  with  conces- 
sions before  the  movie 
and  at  intermission. 

Tank,  The  Right 
Stuff  and  Legal  Eagles 
were  just  three  of  the 
monthly  films  shown.  An 
average  of  56  people 
viewed  the  flims  over  the 
three  days  each  was 
shown. 


David  Rigg 


For  the  1987  school 
year,  the  movie  selection 
committee,  headed  by 
Chris  Harper,  a  junior 
from  Warrior,  had  plans 
to  show  such  box  office 
successes  as  The  Color 
Purple,  Mosquito  Coast, 
An  American  Tail,  The 
Mission  and  The 
Outsiders. 

The  committee  also 
had  plans  to  show  such 
movie  classics  as  African 
Queen,  It's  A  Wonderful 
Life  and  Brian's  Song  . 

Video  Theatre  was  a 
popular  activity  for 
students. 

Sponsored  by  the  Stu- 
dent Activities  Council, 
Video  Theatre  showed 
such    popular    films    as 


The  top  movies  of  the 
year  were  available  to 
students  once  they  came  out 
on  video  cassette.  Video 
Showcase,  a  popular  rental 
spot,  offered  box  office  hits 
as  well  as  VCR  rentals.

Space  Camp,  Weird

Gung  Ho. 

The  films  were 
hown  on  the  large 
screen  television  in  the 
student  lounge. 

While  the  monthly 
ampus  movies  and 
Video  Theatre  offered 
students  movie  enter- 
ainment,  many 
students  preferred  to 
ent  video  cassette 
recorders  and  cas- 
settes  to  show  in  their 
■dorm  rooms. 

Some     students 

owned  their  own  VCRs 

which    added    to    the 

popularity     of     video 

a  rental. 

Freshman  Bill  Car- 
others  from  Nashville, 
Tenn.,  had  his  own 
VCR  in  his  room.  "I  us- 
ad  it  to  record  shows 
that  I  missed  while  stu- 
j  dying.  We  had  the 
I  whole     hall    watching 


Ferris  Bueller's  Day 
Off  one  night.  In  the 
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.  □

David  Rigg 


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

Stamped  with  the  brand

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-

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

across  an  open

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-

The  clothes  were  all

fortable, ready  for 
anyone  who  wanted  to 
take  a  trip  to  the  wilds. 

The  store  also 
manufactured  a  mail-

gained  popularity

company,  which  also 
provided  outdoor-type 
clothes  and  equip-

this  safari  theme  and 
designated  areas  of 
their  stores  for  the 
hot-selling  outdoor

From  heavy  work

dresses  the  trend 
found  its  way  into 
many      wardrobes.

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- 


Bedecked  in  silver,  and 
showing  just  a  hint  of 
her  white  petticoat,  Karen 
Crumpton,  a  senior  speech 
major  from  Birmingham, 
plants  her  rhinestone- 
studded  boots  in  a  typical 
western  pose.

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 
petticoat    peeking   from

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."  □ 

-Amy  Samuels 
David  Rigg 


Totally  immersed  in  what 
is  happening  on  the 
screen,  Wendy  Martin  a 
freshman  Nursing  major 
from  Birmingham,  keeps  up 
with  the  lives  of  the 
characters  on  Days  Of  Our 
Lives .

Miss.,  gets  to  know  some

down,  students 
thought  about  mov- 
ing out  of  the  dorms 
and  away  from  the 
small  community  of 
the  University. 

A  wider  world 
awaited  when  they 
stepped  into  the 
business  community 
and  used  what  they 
had  learned  in  their 
classes  and  relation- 
ships with  others  to 
make  them  a  pro- 
ductive aspect  of 
their  chosen  field. 

The  summer  of- 
fered  travel   to   dis- 


tant lands  for  some 
students  getting 
language  credit  and 
learning  a  new 
culture,  an  intern- 
ship for  others,  or 
time  spent  in  sum- 
mer school  to  pick 
up  an  extra  credit  for 
hard  workers. 

Sun  lovers  found 
extra  days  to  spend 
by  the  pool,  and  in- 
dustrious workers 
joined  the  job  force 
to  help  pad  their 
bank  account. 

Whatever  their 
role  in  leaving  the 
semester  behind, 
whether  sorry  to 
move  on  or  eager  to 
get  away,  it  was  all  in 
the  attitude.

Spring  Dedication 


The  student  activities  center  had  a  hanging  track 
and  carpeted  floor  that  lent  itself  to  uses  from 
volleyball  tournaments  to  Fall  Carnival.  The 
building  was  named  the  Bashinsky  Fieldhouse 
after  Leo  Bashinsky,  a  long-time  trustee  of  the 
University.

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.

The  Rites 
of  Spring 


spring 
semes-

brought 
t  h  e 
usual  bouts  of 
senioritis  during 
warm  weather 
days  as  well  as  an 
unexpected  snow 
day  in  April. 

Most  were  able 
to  take  time  out 
for  a  picnic  at  Oak 
Mountain  or  an 
afternoon  in  the 
sun.  Vail  beach 
and  Ramada  Inn 
remained  the  hot 
spots  for  those 
seeking     that

The  traditional 
dorm  raids  went 
further  than  usual 
as  tires  were 
slashed  and  police 
cars  vandalized. 
R.A.'s  took  names, 
and  students  who 
were  involved  were 
sent  before  the 
Judiciary  Board. 

The  joys  of 
spring  continued 
as  students  studied 
under  shade  trees 
or  relaxed  and  fell 
in  love.  Cupid 
struck  with  the 
usual  rash  of 
engagements. 
Whether  it  was  a 
wedding,  a  sum- 
mer job,  or  just  life 
after  graduation, 
the  spring  semester 
held  possibilities 
for  everyone.

end-of-the-year

With  summer  ac-

students  looked 
toward  the  future  in 
a  new  job  and  a 
changing  lifestyle. 

For  those  who 
would  be  returning 
in  the  fall,  farewells 
to  seniors  took  on 
new  meaning  as 
they  were  one  step 
closer  to  achieving 
their  own  goals. 

There  were

behind,  but  the  ex-

world  in  a  changing 
environment 
awaited  them.
