■ The Gymnasium later repldi.ed bv
Cummmgs Gym served a vanety ot
purposes in its day.

Imagine children sitting on the steps of Elizabeth Hall. They are not
waiting for their parents or a sibling, they are posing for a class picture.
Before Stetson became a university it was an "Academy" for children.
Imagine not having a library with more books then you could read in a
lifetime and possibly hide a dead body in as well. Stetson's first library
resembled an old bookstore with dusty books crowded on a few
Ives. The library was originally housed in Sampson Hall.

What did students do before the
Hollis Center? They exercised
and practiced in something that
resembled a warehouse. Where
did the music students give
performances? In the same
building where the students
exercised, named simply, "The
Gymnasium". It was built in
1897 and replaced in 1910 by
Cummings Gym.
Remember when Football was
God? Do you know why we
have the longest undefeated
record? (cont. on pg. 4)

m

Rinker Fieldhouse opened with the Holhs Ccntci on January 20th,
1998. Like "The Gymnasium", the fieldhouse serves many
purposes, including intermurals, CSA performances, lectures, as
well as open use to the community for exercise.

*^what was here before w

Football was once one of the biggest
draws to the athletic program, and the
history of past teams date as far back as
pre-1921. "The year 1921-1922 is one
that should take high rank in the
history of football at Stetson, not
perhaps, because of the games won,
for in that respect we have not been
so fortunate as in other years, but
because our team has been represented
by bona fide college players. No man
has been brought up at the expense of
the school, or anyone else, just to play
football. Every man on the team has
been a student first and then a football

player." (taken from the 1922 OsMhivil

Anna Huber, Eva Lynn Newton, Diana
Morris, and Carol McCampbell make up
the 1961 Military Queen Pageant court.
In addition to this pageant, there were
many beauty pageants that year, as
well as many other years in Stetson's
past. Basketball Queen, Miss Hatter,
Miss Stetson, and Pi Kappa Phi
Beauty are only a few of the many
shows of appearance and beauty that
once took place. Many things have
changed over the years at Stetson,
both good and bad. The elimination
of beauty pageants from the student
life aspect of Stetson is one that most
definitely has a positive effect.

What is known today as Sampson Hall was
once called "The Carnegie Library
Building." "One of the most beautiful
buildings on the campus is the Carngie
Library Building, the gift of Mr Andrew
Carnegie. The building is an imposing
structure 150 feet long by 50 feet wide,
not counting the portico in front, nor the
stack room in the rear. It is two stories in
height. It contains the C. T. Sampson
Library, consisting of 19,000 volumes. It
was endowed at the time of Mr Carnegie's
gift by a fund of $40,000, the gift of
Elizabeth, the Countess of Santa Eulalia."
The entire cost of the building and
contents cost over $120,000, which may
seem like a small sum today.

These and many other stories concerning the history of
Siesion l>^ the basis of this book. Our theme, is "Fused
Images"' showing how the students and life of Stetson today
would compaie to those who walked these halls long before
we even ciossed our parents' imagination. How the school
has changed ni legards to buildings, looks, academics, sports,
Greek life, and the student body is
recorded in pictures and timelines
throughout our book. It was an
ambitious project that we felt was
appropriate for the new millen-
nium. Before you move on to
bigger and better things, take a
moment to look back at what has
come before and allowed your
time here to be as enjoyable as
going to school could be. We
have tried to show the ups and
downs, the mistakes and triumphs,
not only of the past year, but for
as long as Stetson has been a
name associated with excellence in
education.

The library used to be housed in Sampson Hall, until 1964,
when all of its contents moved to the newly-built facility,
the Dupont-Ball Library. Construction began for updating
the library in the summer of 1998, and continued until it
was rededicated in the fall of 1999. Additions included the
Instructional Media Center, student study lounges, more
office space, as well as additional room for the growing
collection of books. The volumes have reached over
300,000, an impressive contrast to the 19,000 of the
library's early days.

Holler Fountain, first displayed
at the New York World's Fair in
1939, was donated to Stetson in
1951 in honor of Mr. William
Holler. It remains one of the
more recognized features on
campus.

The year 1964 marked the opening of the
DuPont Ball Library, as can be seen in the
pennies embedded in the concrete in front.
Students were rumored to have lined up
between the old library, Sampson Hall, and
the new, to hand the books over.

The year 1910 brought about
Stetson's first gymnasium, which
is located on the west side of
Woodland Blvd. Before we had
the Edmunds Center with "high-
tech" scoreboards and electronic
bleachers, athletics such as
basketball, took place in
Gumming' s Gym.

In 1934 Hulley Tower was
erected, next to Chaudoin Hall,
in honor of Dr. Lincoln Hulley,
our second president. The
chimes located at the top of the
tower are the Eloise chimes,
named after his wife. Interest-
ingly, the bodies of Dr. and
Mrs. Lincoln remain entombed
in the first floor of the tower.

policy but included an
widescale distribution about the
dangers of drinking.

In an effort to improve student
well-being, the HoUis Center
opened its doors in the spring
of 98. With new courts for
intermurals and a fully
equipped weight room, students
quickly adopted more "fit"
lives. The opening of the
Mollis Center also brought
about more jobs for students on

Detailed F2rcast

Floyd and Gert cause choas during fall semester

On September 14"', following reports from the National Weather Service, students
learned that hurricane Floyd was headed their way. Dr. Beasly issued a directive that
all classes would be cancelled, and that students should evacuate campus if possible.
Whether or not students were able to leave campus, they were urged to take every
precaution to remain safe during a potentially dangerous time. Students prepared by
taping their windows, buying bottled water, batteries, flashlights, and canned food,
and moving furniture away from windows.

Floyd had the potential to do much harm to the area, and up until the last minute its
path appeared to be headed right through central Florida. At the last minute, the
storm took a turn, as anxious students breathed a sigh of relief. Floyd left a smalltrail
of destruction, with tress down across campus, and some damage to buildings
Classes remained cancelled until the 17'\ and less then a week later the area was once
again visited by a hurricane. Gert was not as large or as dangerous as Floyd, but
classes were cancelled for one day, and students were once again warned to take
caution. The disasters that didn't really happen put students in a mode of panic, but
also resulted in some very appreciated vacation time.

The summation of
damage by Hurricane
Floyd at Stetson came
from the trees falling
on the Wesley House.
The outcome for the
house as a meeting
place was not
affected, however.
The minimal damage
simply tore into the
roofing and ripped off
the moldings along
the roof. The school
lined of the area to
prevent any further
situations, but that
did not .stop students
from investigating
the scene. Repairs to
the building have
lasted well into the
spring semester, but
did not cause any
students to lose
housing. Those who
lived in the house
continued their daily
routine like the rest
of the student body
the following Monday
morning.

many students with an extended
weekend at home, a handful of
students decide to bra\e the storm.
Administrators of the Emergency
Management Taskforce issued
memorandums to those optimistic
students to relocate into the
Commons. Students grabbed personal
belongings and bedding, turning the
floor of the Commons into a shelter.
Many talked the time away with
stories of past disasters, such as
Hurricane Andrew, while others
listened attentively at the possibility
of being whisked away by the gale-
force winds that may arrive during
such disasters. These students
enjoyed the varying activities of their
shelter experience by working on
laptops and taking naps, while others
passed the time daydreaming.

Another annual part of
Greenfeather was the
Chalk-Art competition.
Students representing
Greek sororities and
fraternities as well as
student organizations
decorated a square of
the sidewalk out in
front of the cub. The
design had to include
the Greenfeather
theme, "It's a Big
World but We've Got
it Covered." The
judges would then
evaluate each of the
drawings and the
winner would receive
points toward the
overall Greenfeather
competition.

Every year various organizations across Stetson's campus
participate in a little "healthy" competition known as Greenfeather.
This time honored tradition combines activities such as a banner
contest, chalk-art contest, an auction, and airwaves in order to raise
money for local charities. The winners of each contest get points
awarded, and at the end of the week the organization with the most
points takes home the coveted Greenfeather trophy. This year's theme
for Greenfeather, "It's a big world, but we've got it covered."could be
seen across campus, plastered on posters, banners, and even the
sidewalks. Organizations made a great effort to get the word out and
raise money. Collecting an average of about $ 1 0.000 per year.
Greenfeather proved to be a tremendous effort by Stetson students to
raise money for charity.

RUSH. . .the four-letter word echoes throughout the campus in early October.
While sorority Rush was formal, fraternity Rush was more laid back.
Women rushees signed up to go through RUSH, and every female was given
a Rho Chi who assisted them throughout Rush. The process the girls went
through consisted of cokes, invites, and pref parties. Every rushee had to
attend the "coke" party of all sororities. The parties were themed and it took a
lot of effort from the sisters to prepare.

For men, the Rush process was less formal. After signing up to go through
the process, male rushees attended "smokers" to get to know the fraternities
they were interested in. Fraternities then offered bids to the men they wanted.
Freshman Josh Walker, who pledged Pi Kappa Phi, said, "I believe my
decision to rush was one of the smartest moves 1 have ever made. The
fraternal life has already provided me with numerous opportunities and will
continue to do so throughout my college life and my future career."

:ampuslif^ages

Every fall welcomes new men into the Greek system,
the first part of this process is RUSH. Each fraternity
hosts smoker parties, so that new students can learn
more about each individual organization and their
goals. After the men visit all of the houses and
attend the smokers, each fraternity decides who wi
receive a bid. The final step in the process is for the
men to accept the bid and sign the card to make it
official. The new pledges of Pi Kappa Phi present
themselves to the crowd moments after they signed
their commitment to the fraternity.

Once the coke parties have all been
cleaned up and e\ er)' rushing
female has had a chance to visit
each sorority, a decision must be
made. First, the sisters of each
sorority will choose the women
they feel are best suited to their
organization. This is no an easy
task, due to the small number of
invites that that each sorority has
to offer because of the overwhelm-
ing number of highly impressive
females. The rushees also had
choices to make about which group
they wanted to be part of. Xaymara

Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream."

-Kahii Gilbran

By the time Dr. King revealed the content of his dream, the students of
Stetson University had akeady begun to remedy local injustices. In 1957 the
student body voluntarily passed a proclamation that expressed their desire to
have Stetson integrated, and in 1962, Cornelius Hunter took his seat in the
freshman class and started a legacy of prominent, successful, and academi-
cally outstanding African-American Hatters. Mr. Hunter's matriculation was
min^ored that next year, as the late Dr. George Williams was admitted to
Stetson under the graduate study program. The first African-American
women to matriculate to Stetson were Margaret Cox and Marva Lewis, both
entering in the mid- 1 960" s. Marva Lewis was a member of Stetson's debate
team, and played a vital role in their victory over Harvard University on
April 2, 1970.

Despite the Umited number, the caliber of African- American students has,
and continues to, mirror the precedent that was set by these four extraordi-
nary young people.

Thank you, Cornelius George, Margaret, and Marva.
Thank you, class of 1957.

Where were you at midnight?

■The end of the year was surrounded with more than just the usual excitement
and playing of "Auld Lang Syne". Speculation on what the 21st Centuiy held
in store for humanity was the talk throughout 1999. Topping the list of
possibilities was the crashing of all computer operated devices. The fears
included the shut down of anything from a home microwave to government
nuclear weapons plants. As the clock struck twelve, the world welcomed a
new millennium. With friends and family close, people celebrated at parties,
while others spent the night in prayer. Activities of grand scale took place
around the globe as the roll-over to 2000 took place. From Austraha to Paris
to New York, every nation marked the birth of the next 1000 years in a distinct
way. Many commentators pointed out the great feeling of community as the
world celebrated this mark in time. The turn of the century, a night remem-
bered in grandeur, was hyped up to be a possible disaster, and even believed
by some to be the end of humanity. However, it turned out to be the largest
and longest lasting single celebration of mankind. Another event with such
unifying capacity won't come around for another 1000 years, even then it can
only be the year 2000 once.

The Switch

Residential Life nas a qu

quick fix

The move really is not what it's
cracked up to be. Rearranging the
rooms to accomidate new comers
gets to be a hassle. Lucidly, Ispaa
Henley is simply changing the look
of her room not the location. While
people change area, some opted to
just redecorate and rearrange.

Imagine walking into your new residence hall room, ready to begin a chapter in
your life and seeing your roommate for the first time. Opposites definitely do
not attract. "I only have to deal with him/her for three weeks," you tell
yourself, as you face another sleepless night. Three weeks is customary for
roommates to get to know each other, then comes room change week. Whether
it is packing up everything and making 900 trips between the old and new, or
adjusting to the different environment, room change is not always easy. If that
is what it takes to be satisfied in your residence hall room, your second home,
most students are willing to do it. According to Michaelle Finch, Assistant
Director of Residential Life, "freshmen and sophomores are usually more
likely to move out because of the environment." Finch notes that the most
common reason for moving out is roommate conflicts, "people are used to
having their own space."

Another conflict that arose this year was construction and remodeling. The
time had come for Nemec Hall to get a make-over, which meant that students in
Alpha and Beta had to be relocated. "There really were no complaints because
students have known since the summer that they would have to move," remarks
Finch. Many students ended up moving into the residence hall of their choice,
so the response was positive. Freshman Brenda IXirner, former Nemec resident
who now lives in Chaudoin, comments, "it's a definite improvement"

Where to put all the furni-
ture, is just one of the many
questions asked during room
change week. As students
shifted between the varying
location on campus some left
signs of thier speedy depar-
ture. As many were going
through the packing and
unpacking experience, the
remaining majority sat back
and wathced as familiar faces
moved on, and new ones came
to take thier place.

loneliness may be experi-

feeling felt by some was filled
with the idea of having a
double to one's self
accompained by the shouts of
freedom heard down the halls.

Room change turned into a regular
occurance as furniture from the
lobbies turned up in the dorm
rooms through! the year. The
constant travel of furniture created
almost a rental arrangement. The
"long term" borrowing system kept
not room change frequent but
rearrangements of rooms constant.
Some even reahced as far as
purchasing couch covers to solidify
a claim to the floating furniture.
From one room to another, this
couch has seen the inside of quite a

As the first gender-integrated hall on campus, Carson/Hollis invites a

reside in the wing known as Carson, while women live in Mollis. They
do, however, share the largest on-campus laundry room and a gazebo
located just outside their front doors. Each hall has a variety of hall
programs hosted individually yet occasionally they have a "Carson/

Hollis also provides a unique living environment for the honor students
that stay there. There is a noticeable difference in the noise level, as

Seniors move off campus, no penalty-no problem

Living with roommates sounds a lot
better when you have your own room
in a house. Mike Chronister, Curits?,
and Ben ? enjoy a relaxing night away
from campus in thier living.

This fall, all students with more than 90 credit hours were able to move off
campus without financial penalty or special permission. The changed policy
resulted from consideration of "everything from the developmental aspect of
the students to the fiscal responsibilities of the university, and also plans for the
renovations and the upgrades to the residence halls," said Michelle Espinosa,
director of Residential Life. The decision reverses a policy that has been in
place since the early 1990s. The policy required students receiving more than
$1,000 of financial assistance from Stetson to live on campus, or face a flnan-
cial penalty of up to $2,500. All students, except those who meet one of the
three criteria for exemption, are still required to live on campus until they earn
60 credit hours. This residency requirement has not changed. However, once
students earn 90 credit hours they will not lose any of their financial aid if they
decide to move off campus. This policy change began open season on any and all
apartments in the DeLand and Daytona area. Popular locations ranged from
The Arbors, and Brandy wine, to small houses scattered throughout town.
Senior Laura Potts enjoys Uving off campus because it allows her a chance to
have her own life without all the distractions of campus. It does have its
disadvantages too; she notes that "commuter parking is a mess."

If not Stetson, then where
to live is a commonly asked
question. Many students
who made the desicion to
live off campus moved into
the Arbors, a subdivision
less than ten minutes drive
from school. Offering both
one bedroom and two
bedroom apartments, the
area became popular among
Seniors looking for more
independance and personal
living environment.

Students that rented houses
carried extra burdens lil(e

enjoy the privacy of not being
separated from thier
neighboors by a concrete wall.
This becames important to the
both the rowdy and those who
sought solitude from the busy
campus life. The Howry House
as it is better known was home
to both peaceful days and wild
nights.

The biggest feat to conquer when
moving into a new apartment is putting
all of your furniture together. Seniors
Lisa Gonzalez and Laura Potts attempt
to put together their kitchen table.
"The first few weeks at the new place
were tough, we had to get everything in
order and try to assemble it all." noted
Laura. Both Lisa and Laura moved into
their off campus apartment in early July
in order to allow themselves enough time
to get settled before classes began. They
enjoy living off campus because it allows
them a little sanctuary from all the stress
of classes. However, it was a difficult
adjustment from residence hall living
because they now had monthly bills and
expenses to pay. Laura remarks, "It lets
you know what the real world will be
like, and it gives you a sense of
responsibility."

money or the space for cleaning
equipment, such as vacuum
cleaners, and would have to hunt
one down in order to do some
serious cleaning. Because of this,
many donn rooms do not get a
thorough cleaning until after the

the challenges of living in a residence hall

Many students face the challenge oradJiistin}> to coiiej^e life each year at
our small private university. One of the biggest predicaments they face is
on-campus living. For many students, they come from homes m here the> had
their own bedroom and laundry facilities as well as control over things such
as room temperature and how clean their room is. Once they move on
campus, some big adjustments must be made. Now they must share an
unusually small living space with another person, in fact, someone they have
probably never met before. How cold or warm they like their room is not
always how their new roommate probably likes it. Sometimes students also
become frustrated when waiting for use of the washers and dryers which can
be hard to come by on weekends. These challenges and new living en> iron-
ments make residential Hfe interesting. Being around other students
facing the same problems makes things a little easier. Students begin to
adjust to their roommates preferences and find alternate methods of doing
laundry, such as using local cleaners and doing laundry during weeknights.
All of these challenges make living on campus a large part of college life.

A typical freshman room
consisted of a bed, a desk, and
dresser. Given the small space in
a residence ball room, there was
not often room for much more.
Freshman Molly Dana found a
way to make the best of the space
in her room in Nemec Hall.
Teddy Bears adorned her bed, and
pictures were hung on the wall to
add a little color and style. Many
students felt more at home witli
pictures of close friends and
family hanging nearby.

Department of Residential Life, takes a break to

Classic Living

The excitement of Conrad today; the history of yesterday.

With 85 girls residing in Conrad, a
variety of personalities and interests can
be expected. Residents represented
many different majors, as well as
sororities and other organizations. Erin
Shupenis, Allison Kominowski, and
Erin Taylor are three such unique
residents.

The doors of Conrad Hall have seen thousands of students pass through
over the last 100 years. First constructed ui the early 1900's to house the
footbaU team, Conrad has been rebuilt once due to fire (in 1902) and it has
been refurbished because of its old age. It now houses 85 women and remains
in its central location on campus. This year's residents were very active in
Greenfeather and offered numerous haO programs. "Not only did the 80's
act win first place for residence halls, but second place overall, and it contrib-
uted to a first place finish for residence halls in Greenfeather week," said
Residence Hall Director Melissa Knight A very unusual hall program was
also hosted for the first time on 2"^ south, and that was "Hurricane Floyd
Party". For this hall program residents decorated cupcakes and shared each
others' company while enjoying time off for classes due to inclement weather.
For socializing and friendships and more importantly for coUege "living",
Conrad has provided a unique opportunity for over a century.

Pafncipaling in Airwaves gave
Conrad residents a chance to
be a part of Greenfeather.
Elizabeth Forrester, zVlicia

upper-class living

an upper-classman advantage is better rooms, less rules

Upper-class living meant bigger rooms, suite baths, and more freedom.
After the first, and often times second year of being at school, students
were permitted to live in the dorms resided in by mostly upper-class
students. Such dorms were. Stetson, Emily, and in some cases Chaudoin
and Carson/Hollis. Room size was noticeably larger, with higher vaulted
ceilings and more floor space. Suite baths allowed students the privilege
of sharing a bathroom with only 3 other residents, but unfortunately had
to be cleaned by the suite members. Along with room upgrades came the
freedom of 24/7 visitation and less strict rules than most dorms. Students
felt this was very important as they were becoming older and did not feel it
necessary to have people monitor their lives. Many of the initial rules of
dorm life, however, did still exist. Students could not have pets in their rooms
nor could they violate quiet hours, especially during exam times. Many of
the upper-class on campus residents agree it was a privilege that came with
age and increased responsibility.

The Digital Arts program is one irf\Svhich computers and creativity
combine. Known as the DA program, it is one of the largest in the
School of Arts and Sciences, and has grown considerably since its
beginning four years ago. This interdisciphnary program contains
three tracks of study. The first track, the art track, explores the
visual aspects of computer arts. Students can learn how to
animate, create 3D models, reinvent pictures, make movies, and
create artwork. The music track brings the notes on a page to life
in new and exciting ways. Students studying this track can create
compositions at the touch of a button, and experiment with sound
effects as well as their own recordings from keyboards. Nothing
is complete, however, without its foundations. Someone had to
come up with the software in which the music and art can be
created. Those people are the students of the Computer Science
track, the third track of DA. Students learn how to write programs
that do everything from helping to write a resume to leading a
person through a virtual school. What makes this program
different from typical art school? According to Michael Branton,
the chair of the CS department, "the Stetson program is more
broadly based then in many schools. While some schools focus
on commercial art. Stetson focuses on the fine art aspects of
Digital Arts."

Josh Frazier is one of the Lab managers in tiie
DA lab, ready to answer questions about
programs and projects being done by students.
The lab managers have knowledge of the majority
of the programs on the computers and if they
don't know the answer — they know someone who
does.

If a student needs help in the Lynn lab,
who are they gonna call? The lab
managers, of course. Lab managers, such as
Dilshod Saidov, are always present in the
Lynn Business Center labs to answer
questions about the Mac and PC computers
and programs.

love to procrastinate The
room is most crowded dunng
exam week, when projects are

nght up until the lab closes

As the number of Digital Arts majors and the rate of
technology increases, more computers, either
portable or desktop, can be found in the residence
hall rooms of students. Many students do not feel
the need to use the lab facilities, because the
programs they need are on their own computers,
making it easier to pull "all-nighters" and work on
projects without having to stop in the middle of
them. Some dorm rooms house not only a computer,
but a printer, scanner, extra drives, and sometimes
various other types of equipment.

Being a senator was liard wortc. Tlie three days
of Model Senate were filled with Committee
Hearings in the morning. Power Lunches in the

The Senators experienced the same schedule as a
real United States Senator from Sun up to sunset.
The first day included a meeting with senate
leaders, a rules committee meeting, and pari
caucuses. On the second day, students kept busy
with committee hearings, further party caucuses,
and senate sessions. By keeping busy, students
were able to get a real feel for the job.

Studcnls traveled trom schools from all over the Southeastern
LJnited States to portray various Senators in Stetson's thirteenth
annual Model Senate. Model Senate is a way to test the abilities of
students planning careers in politics, as well as giving them a feel
tor what real judicial committees are like.

The 96 students who participated kept busy schedules over the
ihree-day event. Senators definitely experienced the feel of
legislative fatigue, with committee hearings in the morning, power
lunches and then hours upon hours of Session. All of this is done to
allow the students the opportunity to experience the same schedule
as a real United States Senator. This year's model senate president
was our very own SGA vice President. Dave Gobeo. His job was to
keep order on the floor and to recognize the various speakers. The
majority leader and the majority whip also came from Stetson. Both
Rob Warner and Chris Donovan are part of the political science
program here at Stetson, and they used that experience to help them
during Model Senate. The Senators were judged individually as
well as in committee. Most of the judges were locals, but some also
come from the political arena. Awards are given to the top senator,
committee chair, and committee. All in all. Model Senate was not
only a learning experience, but also a good time for everyone who
was involved.

A student's involvement in

Model Senate enabled them
to get a real feel for what the
job would entail. Lueme
Herrera took the position of
Senator Arlen Specter of
Pennsylvania. Senator
Specter is a Republican, and
Luerne's job was to vote on
bills according to his political
preference. Some students
were assigned to politicians
with similar beliefs to their
own, while others ended up
with someone quite opposite.

The participants of model senate were
not just students. Leading the way were
political science professor T. Wayne
Bailey, Senator Max Cleland from
Georgia, and The U.S. Parlementarian

It seems that most of the student body is too concerned with
studying and the occasional party, (for some it's the other way
around), to pay much attention to the world around us. Forty
students were asked five current event questions, and the
responces varied widly. According to one student, the presidential
candidates were Warren Beaty, Donald Trump, Al Gore, and Hillary
Clinton's ego. Eight people knew that George W. Bush, John
McCain, Al Gore, and Bill Bradley were in the primaries. Nine
people knew that the Prime Minister of England was Tony Blair.
Two famous music stars recently retired. Eleven knew Celion
Dion, but only two people knew Garth Brooks had left to play
baseball. However, the best response was, "Please, please let it be
Mariah Carey." How many football players in the months of
January and February have been arrested for murder? "Don't
know, but a lot more proabably should have," and "Too many,"
were some of the more creative answers. Another person said ten,
and six was a popular answer, but only one person knew it was
only a measly three. Only four students knew that there were
peace talks between the Irish Republican Army and the British
Goverment, with more colorful responces to what was going on in
Ireland being "drinking" and "potato famine". Not one got all five
current event questions, but only two didn't know any.

Vice President A! Gore has begun his bid for the

presidency in 2000. Gore began his political career
in 1 976, when he was elected to The House of
Representatives, and to the Senate in 1984. He was
the 45"' Vice President of the United States, and
faces tough competition for 43"* presidency, with his
main opponent being George W. Bush.

Its amazing where student priorites lie;
while few students knew the name of the
Prime Minister of England, almost all of
them could name at least 3 of the Backstreet
Boys. Howie, Nick, AJ, Kevin, and Brian
formed the group about five years, after
meeting in their hometown of Orlando, FL.
Many people thought they would be "one-
hit wonders" however their second album
and its singles have all reached number one.

One of the most popular
international singing stars,
Celine Dion, has decided that
there is more to life than just
her music. "So much has
happened and I feel very
fortunate that I've been able to
live this dream. For now, I
want to step back a little bit
from the spotlight. I want to
enjoy the simple things in life
for a change. I want to spend
more time with my family, my
friends and especially with
Rene."

As the CUnton presidency comes to a close, a new
race in the family begins. Hillary Clinton, after
much dleiberation, has decided to run for the US
Senate in New York State. Because of this the
Clintons have had to establish residency in the state,
and Hillary has had to put her First Lady duties aside
to campaign. While many have urged her to run,
others believe that she will have a tough time beating
the current Mayor of New York City, Rudolph
Giuliani.

instrumentation. In 1926, the Stetson University
Marching Band began, under the direction of John
Heney. The Stetson University Marching Band
played in parades as well as Stetson football games.
The band was said to have been one of the South's

football stopped in 1956, so did the Marching
Band. The band became a symphonic band soon
after the final football season.

Ccdric lA'iba, ii rreshnian singer, listens inlenlly lo
a musical piece in the Hollis Music Performance
Laboratory. This room, which also houses the music
library and contains audio recording equipment and
several computers, was named after donor and
Stetson alumnus Mark Hollis.

Students, especially music majors, always make
sure to schedule time to practice. Because of this,
music is always heard in the halls or Presser, most
times on the third lloor. The third floor contains
mostly practice rooms, some with pianos used for
piano practice as well as accompaniment for
singing and instruments. In addition, the chapel in
Elizabeth Hall, also known as the auditorium, is
used by music students for practices and rehearsals.

The School of Music started out in 1886 with (Mle teacher. Nm.
Mary Cheny, and thirty students occupying one room in DeLand
Hall. The only subjects taught were voice and piano, until
harmony was introduced in 1892 and theory in 1904.
Many "firsts" soon came about for the School of Music, including
the first teaching of brass and wind instruments in 1923 and the
organization of the first Stetson band in 1926— by Donald
Faulkner. The Stetson Marching Band was also introduced in
1935 and lasted until 1956 when football stopped. It then became
a symphonic band. Throughout the years, many new majors have
come about, not limited lo voice, plant), violin, organ, wind and
percussion, and music education.

Now. after 1 14 years, the School of Music, with forty teachers and
around 200 students, is still going strong. Ensembles including
the symphonic band, the jazz band, the orchestra, and various
choral groups, have done just about everything in the music world
from performing in other countries to honoring the elite. Music
school students have competed in various competitions such as the
Undergraduate Student Conduction Competition, and the Treasure
Coast Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition, and have won
awards in these areas. From these humble beginnings as an
academy with two buildings and seven teachers, a great school for
music, and by musicians, was born.

In 1970, The School of Music
finally had a permanent home.
After two years of construc-
tion. The School of Music
building was completed. The
choir performed during the
outside ceremony, and the
building was dedicated as
Theodore Presser Hall. After
30 years, the building still
stands with three floors—
where, throughout the day
(and sometimes throughout the
night) music and melody can
always be heard in the halls.

Chorus ensembles have been instrumental
in the music program since its beginnings.
During the year choir ensembles have
performed several times in Elizabeth Hall,
singing everything from doo-wop to opera
to Broadway show tunes.

Students choose Stetson for a variety of reasons. For the students
that come from out of the state, the location and reputation of the
school are both very appealing, while students from within the
state find that Stetson is a nice balance between the independence
of being away from home, and the comfort of having home
cooking and laundry only a few hours away.
In addition, there are a significant number of students who attend
this university for a third reason: as a family tradition. Alumni
undoubtedly find it difficult not to encourage their children to
attend Stetson, but a lot of parents decide to take a backseat in the
decision-making process and allow their children to discover
Stetson for themselves. Oneita and Russell Tinsley adopted this
hands-off approach when their daughter Renell was getting ready
for college. Senior Renell Tinsley stated that she accepted
Stetson's offer of admission because of a number of reasons.
Initially, she was impressed with the reputation of the business
school, and she also appreciated the fact that Stetson had a solid
dance team. Because she had been here so many times with her
parents, (Classes of '66 and '70), she just felt more comfortable.
She was not afraid of trying new experiences and diverging from
her parent's example, but she said that the "atmosphere was like
no other", and that when she visited Stetson, she "knew where
[she] belonged."

k^Tk

Oneita Owens Tinsly found more tlian a great
education here at Stetson. This is where she met the
man that would eventually become her husband.
When he left for the military, Mrs. Tinsley contmued
her education, and she and her husband, upon his
return, paved the road to success for their daughter
Ranell

/m

Dr. Meadows not only returned to his
Alma Mater to fill an administrative
position, but he also brought along his
daughter, who is a freshman this year.

Renell Tinsley, a senior

General Business Manage-
ment major, could not
imagine herself anywhere
else but Stetson. Because of
the fact that both of her
parents were previous Stetson
students, Renell knew the
community pretty well. Her
decision was made final when
she realized for herself that
the "atmosphere was like no
other".

Dr. Gene W. Medlin, father of psychology
professor Dr. Rick Medlin, and grandfather of
Stetson student Erin Medlin, spent many great
years teaching science and working in administra-
tion. Many years ago, when he was first offered a
teaching job at Stetson, he was also offered a job
working for IBM, in the early days of their
corporation. He chose Stetson because of the

The 1999-2000 SGA officers

many bills passed.

Student Government Association (SGA) made many signifi-
cant changes on campus this year. President Salvatore
Mancini and Vice President David Gobeo were able to begin
revitalizing SGA, which led to greater senator involvement.
"This year our first goal v.'as to get SGA more involved on
campus. Dave and I felt this was accomplished by bringing in
a wide array of speakers as well as having more open discus-
sions about the issues that students face," said Sal Mancini.
These open discussions helped SGA accomplish many of its
goals for the year. They passed bills like moving spring break
to align with state schools and for SGA to sponsor three
community service events a year to count as cultural credits.
SGA also organized Adopt-an-Angel, which brings in
underprivileged children to Stetson during the Christmas
holiday and allows students to buy the kids presents. The
successes this year are a good indication of continued
changes in future years.

Overall, SGA had a productive year. Dave Gobeo said,
"Student Government is the conduit for change and the
students' voice to the administration. We represent the
students to the fullest of our ability and enhance the quality
of our campus." Hopefully this success will continue in future
years and allow SGA to be an even more influential organiza-
tion on campus.

jSome believe that Stetson students could use a little culture.
Regardless of whether this is true or not, it is a fact that there are
many cultural opportunities open to the students, from cultural
organizations on campus to programs for study abroad in other
countries. Stetson's study abroad program offers a diverse range
of places to study throughout the world, all for the same price
that it costs to stay in DeLand. Areas of study include Mexico,
Russia, Spain, Germany, France, England, and China. The
[opportunity to study abroad is great, because in enables a
j student to experience a different way of life, while allowing
Ithem to learn to speak another language outside of the classroom
setting. Dr. Robert Sitler, Spanish professor and study abroad
advocate, praises the program: "I have constantly seen study
abroad to be the most powerful and positive transformative
experience that students have during their university years. This
is particularly true when the students work in cultural contexts
that are substantially different from their own."
For those who choose to stay on the Steston campus, or for those
who need to find some culture after returning from a study
abroad, there are many organizations that were formed to
increase cultural awareness across campus. Some of these
jorganizations include the Black Student Association, the Latin
Club, and the Caribbean Club.

The Florida Beta Chapter has continued to live up to this chal-

rhis year started out slowly, but the members of Pi Kappa Phi
bund themselves in the midst of one of the most productive

participated in Habitat for Humanity, and still found time to bring

In its opening in 1883, Stetson
University was an "academy",
teaching students of a wide range
of ages. The first student to reach
the college level was Martha
Owens, followed the next year by
Leila Child. Each one was the only
student in her class. Leila Child
was the first to get a degree from
Steston University, in 1893.

In 1883 DeLand Academy was
founded by Henry DeLand. In
1889 it was renamed after
DeLand' s friend and major
benefactor, John B. Stetson.
Stetson is notorious for the
Philadelphia Hat Company that
bears his name.

Current enrollment has reached an
all-time high of 2300 students at
the main campus and 680 students
at the College of Law. These
students participate in II degree
programs with 55 different majors
and minors.

Do you think Steston is small now? In
1 894 the student body was made up of a
whopping 5, chmbing to 71 in 1911. By
the 1920's it had reached into the 300's,
and by the 1950's we were a school with a
population of around 1 500.

Of the 2300 students 33%
participate in Greek social
fraternities and sororities. 72% of
students reside in campus housing
with approximately 28%
commuting.

The original "Commons Building " was
burned down in 1954. From 1954 to
1957, when the new one was built, a
dining room was housed in the basement
of Cummings Gym. The CUB, then the
Student Union Building, was much like it
is now, but also held a bowling alley .

In the early days of Stetson, dales on
campus were permitted on Friday and
Saturday nights, and had to take
place in the Chaudoin Parlor. There
were strict rules: a couple was not
allowed to sit facing a wall, only the
center of the room, and must sit at
least a yard apart. Also, a girl was
not allowed to go on two dates
consecutively with the same "boy".

Seats in the Commons were rotated
every two weeks, so that the girls would
not become "too well acquainted" with
any young men. To go out. girls had to
gather in the Chaudoin lobby, to be
chaperoned. Also, men and women
were not allowed to occupy the hbrary
at the same time, but would go on
alternate nights. Thankfully, things
today are much different.

The long-awaited goal of landing a man on the moon was achieved in 1969.
The historic llighi of Apollo 1 1 was launched on July 16. After entering lunar
orbit, astronauts Edwin Ii. Aldrin, Jr. and Neil A. Armstrong transferred to the
lunar module, orLM as it was called. Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit
lollowing the separation and piloted the command module. The LM de-
scended i(j the surface of the moon on July 20. landing at the edge of Mare
Tranquilitalis. A few hours later, Armstrong, in his bulky space suit, de-
scended the ladder and at 10:58 P.M. EDT stepped onto the surface of the
moon while millions watched on television. His first words were: "That's one
small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." He was soon joined by
Aldrin and the two astronauts spent more that two hours walking on the
lunar surface. They gathered soil samples, rocks, took photographs, and set
up a solar wind experiment. Armstrong and Aldrin also erected an American
flag and talked by satellite communications with President Richard M. Nixon.
The return flight of Apollo 1 1 was without mishap and the vehicle splashed down
and was recovered on July 24 in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii.

Many of you have probably seen fire trucks speeding toward one of Stetson's
residence halls, sirens blaring as curious onlookers follow to figure out what
all the commotion is about. Like many residents, I have joined the club of
those who nearly burned down a building on campus. One night my
roommate and I were baking cookies in the Conrad kitchen. We only left for
a moment, but when we returned, the kitchen was engulfed in black smoke.
We panicked and tried to do something, but before we had a chance, the fire
alarm had gone off. We heard the RA down the hall yelling to all the
residents to get out quickly. My roommate and I didn't want to be known aS
the cookie-burning culprits, so we fled the scene of the crime. Shoeless, I ran
after my roommate toward the safety of the Foreign Language House. We
banged on the door, seeking refuge from the growing crowd. Once we were in,
we sat in the lobby, watching TV and sneaking peeks outside. When all was
done, we found our way back inside, but for the next week we avoided our RA
and pretty much anyone from the dorm. About a week later, as I was leaving
my room, the fire alarm went off again. As fire trucks raced toward campus, I
smiled. I guess we're not the only ones.

The profound effect of the great depression.

Tlie stock maiiet crash of 1020 wae felt arouik-l tlic^ worU, alu^
it-6 effect© lingered for many years. Tlie ecommc crisis was not
completely solved until WorU '^a\- II began and triggered huge
needs for industrial and agricultural productivity.

(Jn October 24, 1929, the stock market began to crash; about 13 million
shares of stock were sold that day. On Tuesday. October 29— kjiown ever
since as Black Tuesday— the damage was extended when more that 16
million shares were sold. The value of most shares of stock fell shaqily,
leaving linancial ruin and panic in its wake. There had been financial
panics, but never did a collapse in the stock market have such a devastating
and long-term effect. Like a snowball rolling downhill, it gathered momen-
tum and swept away the whole economy. The Great Depression had begun.
Businesses closed, putting millions out of work. Banks failed by the hun-
dreds. Wages for those still fortunate enough to have a job fell precipitously.
The value of money decreased as the demand for goods declined. The
international structure of world trade collapsed, and each nation sought to
protect its own industrial base by imposing high tariffs on imported goods. By
1932, industrial output in the United States had been cut in half. One fourth of
the labor force— about 1 5 million people— were out of work, and there was no
such thing as unemployment insurance. More than 90.000 business failed
completely.

Aah, the beauty of Stetson. Our lovely fountain, a nicely manicured lawn, a
newly remodeled library and scenic views are abound. Every time someone
visits our campus, they complement the beauty, but have they ever seen the
inside of our residence halls or classrooms? Where the students spend most
of their time, beauty seems to take a backseat, and rather than scenic views,
we are more familiar with the vision of chipped paint, leaky sinks, and old
air-conditioners. For a school that pulls in so much money, Stetson seems
more concerned with putting on appearances for the visitors and prospective
students. While we seem to live and learn in less then adequate facilities,
the school does make some attempts at bettering our surroundings. The
Mollis Center, the library additions, the Baseball field. While all of these aie
wonderful things, many students would probably be quite happy to have
some attention put on the smaller details.

Images like this, of chipped paint in a residence hall, is a farmiliar
one with the etudente.

M^iiy diiUrun of the baby booming generation grew up in large

large number of diiUren living unJer one roof

Television, protests, and lots of kids

Baby Boomers was a term used to describe the generation born after World
War II between 1946 and 1964. Birthrates during that time reached the
highest levels since 1910 and these babies became known a,s Baby Boomers.
The likes and dislikes of this large demographic block had an unprecedented
elTect on national culture and economic plans. In the United Stales alone
ihey numbered 76 million. They grew up in an era of pervasive prosperity
ihe likes of which had never been seen before. They were the first to grow
up with television and the threat of nuclear war. The postwar years saw a
migration from the cities to the suburbs, prompting a building boom in
housing, schools, and malls. Many Baby Boomers belonged to youth
rebellion and counterculture movements of the late 1960s, and many were
committed to the civil rights movement and opposed to the Vietnam War.
By the 1990s, the Baby Boomers were entering middle age.

VW3ug

returning to a classic

Today's re-made version of the beetle.

The idea of ihe Volkswagen Beetle came from
Adolf Hitler in 1924, when he conceived of a
way to solve Germany's unemployment
problems. The government would build
special roads (auiobahns) for motor vehicles.
They would then mass-produce a car (the
peoples car, the Volkswagen), which the
average man would be able to buy. The car
needed to fit standards that would make it both
available and practical for the common citizen.
It was said that the car must have a top speed
I of 62 mph, achieve 42 miles per gallon, and
must be able to transport 2 adults and 3
children. The design for the Beetle went

; through many revisions, and was not finalized

until 1938. The bug-like design was said to be a concept of Hitler's, and he
is reputed to have said that "it should look like a Beetle, you have to look
to nature to find out what streamlining is." While the name and overall
concept is accredited to Hitler, the bulk of the design work was done by a
number of famous car designers, including Ferdinand Porsche.
Beetles continued to be produced into the early 1980"s. Classic VW
Beetles can still be seen roaming the streets today, side by side with the
new. reinvented version, released by Volkswagen in 1999. The new cars
have a modem feel, coupled with the same bug-like compact shape that
made the earlier model so popular. In keeping with the early concept,
the Bugs are also still relatively affordable cars.

A classic 1971 Volkswagen Bug.

the ultimate boy band

The Beatles was a British pop group formed in Liverpool,
England in 1960. The group consisted of John Lennon,
Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. "Love
Me Do" became a huge hit in 1962 and during the next
two years Beatlemania spread around the world, buoyed by
international hits such as "She Loves You" and "I Want To
Hold Your Hand." At appearances around the world, the
group projected a carefree, somewhat cynical image that
influenced the attitudes of their teenage admirers, just as
their long hair and granny glasses influenced their looks.
The Beatles further increased their audience when they
went on the Ed Sullivan show in the early 1960's.

who knew they would he so small?

The first "computer" was used in 1623 wiien German
scientist Wiihelm Schiivard invented a machine that used
11 complete and 6 incomplete sprocketed wheels that could
add with the aid of logarithum tables, multiply, and divide.
A few centuries later, John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert
built the first electronic digital computer at the University
of Pennsylvania. The Electronic Numerical Integrator and
Computer (ENIAC) was completed in 1945. It weighed
more than 60,000 pounds and contained more than 18.000
vacuum tubes. Mauchly and Eckert went on to produce the
Universal Automatic Computer (UNIVAC), which was
used for a broader variety of commercial appliances.

Improvisation

Many events come to Stetson, but none seem

to draw as many laughs as the funny people

from SAK Comedy Club. Comedians from this

troupe have been coming to Stetson to preform

during Family Weekend for the past few years.

This year, we were entertained by improvers

Jay Hopkins, Matt Laroux, and Megan Whyte,

and improv musician John Wagner.

SAK Comedy Club is based in Orlando, and

those who visit their downtown venue will be

entertained with improvisational skits similar

to those seen on the hit British comedy Who 's

Line Is It Anyway? This classic show was

recently brought back in a new American

version hosted by Drew Carry.

The group at SAK numbers over ten comics, who rotate from night to

night. The show at Stetson is a bit different— in the past, there have

been three comics entertaining. Instead of the usual team competition

action, a free-for-all of improv ensues.

Members of the audience are asked to help with the skit by supplying

information when asked. Sometimes they will ask for genre types,

locations, topics, or other bits of information that they will use to create

a skit. Other times they will choose someone from the audience to go up

on stage and help out with a skit firsthand. One of the best ones that

uses audience participation is "Moving Bodies", in which the chosen

audience member has to move all of the characters around, as if they

were unable to move themselves. Every time the hilarious comics from

SAK come to Stetson, the crowd is larger and the laughs are more

abundant.

brought to you hy SAK

Megan Whyte and Jay Hopkins were rendered immobile, and
two assistants were brought in to help them move their bodies.

Another fun skit by those crazy people from SAK.

Stetson is NCAA Division I in the
TAAC Conference. Men's sports
include soccer, cross-country,
basketball, crew, baseball, tennis
and golf. Women 's sports include
soccer, cross-country basketball,
crew, Softball, tennis, volleyball,
and golf

To be on Stetson's football team in the early
1900's, one did not have to attend the
academy, but only needed to "play well
enough". The team, which was one of the
first in the state, had little playing
competition, and origionally played only
Rollins College and the Florida Agriculture
College.

Seating 5,000 people, the
Edmunds Center is home to the
Hatter sports teams. Basketball
and Volleyball both take place in
the gymnasium. There are two
full-sized basketball courts, a
nautilus weight room, and
saunas. The Edmunds Center
was named after J. Ollie
Edmunds, the only President
that was also an alumnus.

Cummings Gym was completed
in 1910, as an exercise facility
for women. This gym came to
be used for the men, because
it was feared that it was too
dangerous for the girls to
cross the Boulevard. Instead,
the girls instead used the old
facility, which was located
near the current Stetson Hall.

Stetson has had a women's basketball team
for quite some time. In fact, we had
■women's basketball before we even had
.men's. In the team's early days, around
1 904, men were not permitted to watch the
women play, a rule which was soon
dropped because of the vast number of men
cought sneaking into the games.

Many of Stelon 's sports teams at the turn
of the century were called the Eulalians.
rather then the Hatters, after the countess
EulaUa. Today. Stetson sports are
represented by the Hatter mascot, which
has undegone many changes over the
years. In 1957, it was the "mad hatter".

Whde Steston atletics have remained
strong, there are many sports that have
gone by the wayside. In addition to the
loss of football, some other sports that are
no longer include boxing, archery, and
tumbling. In 1935, Lynn Hardy was an
acclaimed heavyweight, winning the AA U
championship of Florida, and the women's
archary team won the state championship
in 1941.

Women's sports are reaching new
heights. Steston has a wide range of

During many weekends at
Stetson, many students leave
campus. On the weekend,
many students go home or visit
friends, leaving parking lots
deserted.

Getting pizza is second nature at Stetson,
and is considered one of the main food
groups. Cunently, we have a contract with
Dominos' to get pizza using points, but
some students feel the need to "change up"
their pizza pleasures, and find themselves
going to places like Pizza Hut.

A student is seen surveying the
destruction of Hurricane Floyd.
The only real damage on
Stetson's campus was a tree that
feel on the Wesley House. The
sun'ounding community,
however, didn't fair as well. In
Daytona, 1/3 of the Mainstreet
Pier fell victim to the tremen-
dous winds and rain.

142 community

The community is very
important to all Stetson
students. Day or night. 7-
11 was a convenient
location for students to pick
up a snack orfdl up their
gas tank. The location is
also good because it is only
hvo blocks form the center
of campus.

During the weekends, many students
head off campus to clubs in the
surrounding community. Abby
Smith, as well as many others, can
often be found at The Groove in
Daytona most every Friday night.

Every year. Family Weekend
is one of the most attended
events on campus. Parents
from all over the world will
come to visit their children.

All students find their way
to the University Bookstore
sometime during the
semester. During the days
before classes start, lines in
the store can last up to one
hour. Some students wait
until the end of the first
week of classes to buy their
books to avoid the long
lines.

One of the nice things about living
in a small town Uke DeLand is the
quaint charm of a tree-lined brick
street. The downtown are is newly
refurbished, and reno\'ations are
now being done on the Athens
Theater. Once, completed,
Woodland Blvd. will be the
quintessential "Main Street, USA".

The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
The took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in a wood and I-
I took the one less traveled by.
And that has made all the difference.

Tliank You!

The task of producing a book is never easy, and we were

confronted with an even more daunting task this year in trying to

give a glimpse back to the many years past. This task would not

have been accomplished without the gracious help of many people.

We thank you!

The Great Depression began as a result of the StOLk Market Crash of 1929.
Businesses closed, putting millions out of work. Banks tailed by the hun-
dreds. Wages for those still fortunate enough to have a job fell precipi-
tously. The value of money decreased as the demand for goods declined.
The international structure of world trade collapsed, and each nation sought
to protect its own industrial base by imposing high tariffs on imported

L'onds

President Herbert Hoover called Prohibition a "noble experiment." Orga-
nized crime found it to be the opportunity of a lifetime, and millions of
Americans denounced it as an infringement of their rights. For nearly 14
years- from Jan. 29, 1920 until Dec. 5, 1933- the manufacture, transpor-
tation, and sale of alcoholic beverages was illegal in the United States.

In the earlier part of the Twentieth Century, more and moie industries used
interchangeable parts and machine tools. In 1913 Henry Ford introduced
the assembly line in the manufacture of his Model T Ford. Parts were
assembled on a moving conveyor belt, and the Model T took shape as it
moved from one work station to the next. The assembly line greatly
increased the speed of manufacture and soon was used in many industries.

split into South Vietnam with a Republican government, and Nonh Viet-
nam with a Communist government. The US became involved with
hopes of preventing the spread of communism. In 1965 the US sent
troops to prevent the collapse of South Vietnam, but ultimately failed to
achieve its goal. In 1975 Vietnam wa.s reunified under communist control

The State of Israel declared its independence on May 14. 1948. However,
its modem history begins with the Zionist movement founded in 1897. Its
basic ideology adopted as its goal the creation of a home in Palestine. The
number of Jews in Palestine in the early part of the Twentieth Century vi'as
about 85.000. After World War I. Great Britain was entrusted to adminis-
ter Palestine and assist the Jewish people in "reconstruction their national
home in that country."

Following a gained strength within the Communist party and the USSR, an
upsurge of nationalism within the Soviet republics, coupled with resent-
ment of decades of economic scarcity and arbitrary rule, spurred a chal-
lenge both to the ideological foundations of communism and to the legiti-
macy of the Soviet state. By the end of 1991, the resulting political
struggle had led to the collapse of the Soviet Communist Party and the
dissolution of the USSR. indPY i /-ir

During the first half of the
Twentieth Century, polio
was one of the most dreaded
diseases to attack young
people. By 1955 Ameri-
can physician and re-
searcher Jonas Salk had de-
veloped a vaccine that al-
most eradicated the disease
in the United States and
other developed countries.
Salk was bom in 1914 and
earned a doctorate in medi-
cine from New York
University's College of
Medicine. In 1947 Salk
began working on the po-
lio vaccine. Three viruses
caused polio, and a vaccine
had to be effective against
all of them. By 1952, Salk
had developed such a vac-
cine and conducted field
tests on children. On April
12, 1955, the vaccine was
released for use in the US.

The Rev. Martin Luther
King, Jr. spent most of his
life fighting for civil rights,
advocating a nonviolent ap-
proach to achieve results. His
finest hour came on Aug. 28,
1963, when he led the great
march in Washington, D.C.,
that culminated with his fa-
mous "I have a dream" speech
at the Lincoln Memorial. At
the height of his influence,
he was awarded the Nobel
Peace Prize in 1964 and used
his new-found powers to at-
tack discrimination through-
out the US. In the spring of
1968 he went to Memphis.
TN, to show support for the
striking city works, and was
shot and killed as he stood on
the balcony of his motel
there. ICing was the guiding
light for 15 of the most cru-
cial years in America's civil
rights struggle.

In 1945 Berlin was parti-
tioned into East Berlin and
West Berlin. Between 1949
and 1961, nearly 3 million
people fled East Germany.
In 1961 the East German
government decided to stop
this flight to the West, which
was depleting the county's
labor force. During the night
of August 31, 1961, East
German soldiers surrounded
West Berlin with temporary
fortifications that were rap-
idly replaced by a concrete
wall, 12 feet high and 103
miles long. In the fall of
1989, the East German re-
gime was on the verge of
collapse. On Nov. 9 of that
year, enthusiastic citizens
began to demolish whole sec-
tions of the wall without in-
terference from government
officials.

Throughout most of history
women generally have had
fewer legal rights and career
opportunities than men.
Wifehood and motherhood
were regarded as women's
most significant profession.
That all changed in the
Twentieth Century. The
Women's Movement had
arrived. Women in most
nations won the right to vote
and increased their educa-
tional and job opportunities.
Perhaps most important,
they fought for— and to a
large degree accomplished—
a re-evaluation of traditional
views of their role in soci-
ety. In 1919 Congress passed
the women's suffrage bill and
the 19th Amendment to the
Constitution became law on
Aug. 26, 1920. Some 25
million women finally had
the right to vote.

World War II was a global military conflict that, in terms of lives lost and material
destruction, was the most devastating war in history. It began in 1939 as a war in
Europe between Germany and an Anglo-France coalition by eventually widened to
include many of the nations of the world. It ended in 1945. leaving a new world
order dominated by the United States and the USSR. One of the most memorable
moments caught on film during the war was the flag-raising on the island of Iwo
Jima in the Pacific.

Eariy in the morning of June 25, 1950, the armed forces of communist North Korea
smashed across the 38th parallel of latitude and invaded the Republic of Korea. South
Korea's army was smaller and not as well trained and equipped as that of North Korea.
It was unable to stem the onslaught. By June 28, Seoul had fallen and South Korea's
army was in full retreat. In response, 16 nations sent troops to the aid of South Korea.
It wasn't until July 1953 that a peace treaty was signed- three years and 32 days after
the conflict began.

The Space Shuttle Challenger
blasted off from the Kennedy
Space center on Jan. 28, 1986.
A brief 73 seconds later it ex-
ploded, killing its crew of seven.
It was the worst space disaster
in history. Following the inci-
dent. President Ronald Regan
appointed a special commission
to investigate the cause of the ac-
cident. According to the report,
the disaster was caused by the
failure of an "0-ring" seal in the
solid-fuel rocket on the shuttle's
right side. The shuttle launch
program was halted during the
commission's investigation and
was not resumed until shuttle de-
signers made several technical
modifications. NASA manage-
ment implemented stricter regu-
lations regarding quality control
and safety.

The Atomic Bomb was the
first nuclear weapon to be de-
veloped, tested, and used. In
the late 1930's physicists in
Europe and the US realized
that the fission of uranium
could be used to create an ex-
tremely powerful explosive
weapon. In August, 1939,
German-American physicist
Albert Einstein sent a letter to
President Franklin D.
Roosevelt that described this
discovery and warned of its
potential development by
other nations. The first atomic
bomb was conducted as a test
at Alamogordo, NM on July
16, 1945. The energy re-
leased from this explosion was
equivalent to that released by
the detonation of 20,000 tons
of TNT.

10 Years of Neglect
of the AIDS Crisis

The disease known as AIDS is a
complicated illness caused by a
virus that can be transmitted from
person to person. Acquired
Immuno-defiency Syndrome
was first conclusively identified
in the US in 1981 when 189
cases were reported to the Cen-
ters for Disease Control. Within
a decade the disease had spread
to virtually all populated areas of
the world. In the US alone, there
are about 65,000 new cases ev-
ery year Public awareness of
the disease gradually built up as
high-profile victims began to die.
Many organizations worked to
inform the general public of the
dangers of AIDS, as well as to
dispel the belief that it is a dis-
ease that only affects certain
groups, such as gays or drug us-
ers.

The Sixties were an exciting,
revolutionary, turbulent time
of great social and technical
change. From the assassina-
tion of President Kennedy, to
the unforgettable fashions of
platform shoes and bell-bot-
tom pants, the Sixties were a
time of revolt and innovation.
The hippies brought flower
power, counterculture and
psychedelic light shows. The
music ranged from the BeaUes
to Jimi Hendrix, from Joan
Baez to Elvis Presley. It was
a time of spirituality and so-
cial consciousness, with peace
marches and civil rights
marches. It was also a time of
a man landing on the moon
and World Fairs and a whole
lot more.

Wilbur and Orville Wright were aviation pioneeis and inventors. They showed me-
chanical genius from boyhood, and in 1 900 they made their first trip to Kitty Hawk, NC
to conduct glider experiments on the sand hills there They also built a powerful four-
cylinder engine and an efficient propeller, which they took to Kitty Hawk in September,
1 903. Orville piloted it on a flight of 1 2 seconds and 1 20 feet; Wilbur flew it later in the
day, staying aloft for 59 seconds to cover 852 feet.

Richard M. Nixon was the first US president to resign his office. After narrowly
losing the presidency to Kennedy in 1960, he came back to win the presidency in
1968, promising a quick end to the Vietnam war- but in reality he enlarged and
continued America's active role until 1973. Re-elected by a landslide in 1972,
Nixon was brought down by revelations of administration misdeeds collectively
known as "Watergate." Facing certain impeachment, he resigned in August, 1974.
