The morning sun was one of the first sights
seen by the Varsity Crew team that practiced
before dawn each day. Stetson athletics is
an integral part of the university. Ranging
from cross-country to baseball and Softball,
there are a total of 1 5 different varsity sports
for students to be a part of. Currently, over
30% of the students participate in a varsity
sport.

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, perspective is a noun that represents the
relationship of aspects of a subject to each other and to a whole. Each of us is an
individual at Stetson, but as a whole, we make up the University. The unique
personalities of the students mesh together to form the Hatters, the residents, the
organizations, and most importantly, the school. To the present students and those of
the past, each will remember the special times and lasting knowledge that has earned
Stetson its reputation as a close knit community.
Each building has a special history, with the foundations carrying the pride and tradition that
have been bestowed upon this institution since 1883, witnessing the perspectives of those
that have lingered in the historic halls. It has been said that a sum is often greater than its
parts. In Stetson's case, it is each of the parts
that make the sum so great. One should remem-
ber that with each student comes different per-
spectives, the building blocks which combine
to make Stetson a home away from home.
Although the education gained spans over a few
years, the perspectives constantly develop and
welcome the future. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
echoed the sentiment, "Life moves by pretty fast.
If you don't stop and look around a while, you
could miss it."
To the students, faculty members, and friends
of Stetson, gain the perspective and stop to take
a look around here, a world within a community.

The annual organizational fair is a great
way for all of the incoming students to
learn about the different organizations
on campus. Numerous students attend
the fair each year, where prizes are
given out to entice students to sign up.
Becky Kruse, member of Wesley House,
gave curious students information about
her organization.
Eddie Buchholz, Rick Albriche, Frank
Stillman huddle together to plan the
next play for their intramural football
game for Alpha Tau Omega.
Intramurals are a very important part of
the university . All of the fraternities,
sororities, as well as many organiza-
tions participate to earn top honors
each year.
Juliette Shaw and Julie Creech
showed their talent by singing during
"Karaoke Night" in Nightlights. Many
students attended this event which
allowed many to showcase their
singing talents. There are many events
like this one that enable a student to
become an active part of the student
body, while also having fun.

As students, life as we know it has changed
progressively over the years. As elementary
school students, we colored, played games and, as
we entered the upper grade levels, finally got used
to switching classes. In middle school, classes
became more difficult as we flirted with the
opposite sex and explored new hobbies and
activities. In high school, final exams came up on
us and stress found its way into our hearts and
minds. But still we somehow found ways to
entertain ourselves with parties, football games
and friends. We all found our own niche within
the walls of our high schools. Some went to
parties and some studied. Some were athletic and
some were musical. Many found that the ideal life
of a student was to relax and take it all in stride,
while some thrived under pressure. When we
entered college, we all had different expectations
as to what the life of a student would be like.
Most of them rang true, while others turned out to
he false. Regardless of previous expectations,
students' views of life ended up being relatively
pleasant. First-year student Curtis Smith said "I
expected Stetson to have a calm laid back atmo-
sphere, and when I got here that is exactly what I
found. I could see that my college experience would
be a great one." Sophomore Richard Sykes' expecta-
tions differed from his reality of student life, however.
"When I came to college, I was expecting to be more
worried about class work and teachers and less about
administration. I had this perfect little world in my
head about a place where everyone is more than
willing to help each other." For Sykes, the image of
college parties and wild weekends was somewhat
untrue. "I never expected I'd actually have nothing to
do on the weekend, or be trapped in a lab or behind a
desk reading or doing homework." Senior Brian
Douglas said, "I believe the ideal student should be
more committed to a balance between learning and fun
than most Stetson students are. You only get four
years to do all of this and live so freely; you're only
an undergraduate once. Take it from a senior, you've
got to take advantage of this while you can!"
Whether or not one's expectations turned out to be
true, students were determined to make the most of
what student life handed them and enjoy college while
they could.
A transformation occurred on
fraternity row as the "pit" was
cleared and set up to host a variety
of local bands. The first ever Rock
Against Cancer was sponsored by
Sigma Phi Epsilon with cosponsors
such as the American Cancer
Society, CSA, Pepsi-Cola, LPGA
International, and Delta Delta
Delta. The concert helped to raise
money for the American Cancer
Society and was in honor of two
Sigma Phi Epsilon brothers who
were afflicted with the disease.
Local bands included FuUerton,
Preferred 53, See Reverse, Dirty
Candy, and Blue Flame Combo. The
concert's first year attempt proved
to be a success as students gathered
to watch, dance, and sing for a good
cause.
Daniel Henry, Gabriella VanVerveer, and Karalea Larr enjoyed a
break outside of the always busy DuPont Ball Library during the
first week of school. Surrounding the fountain were many grassy
areas where students could sit and read, socialize or eat, while
taking a much-needed break from studying. "I took a nap there
once," said Sophomore Andrea Rowe. "And on my birthday I ran
across the grass to get away from the people trying to throw me in
the fountain." Sometimes a simple change in environment led the
students to study under the many trees that adorned this area, one
of the most central locations on campus. The sunlight dappled the
lawn, providing shade from the heat while also aiding some in their
search for the perfect tan. The atmosphere surrounding these areas
was always peaceful, offering a safe haven for everyone to enjoy.
"Do you trust me?" was the question on these Girls Volleyball
players' minds as one of their teammates prepared to fall backward
in their arms off a platform. This "trust fall" was just one part of a
ropes course which the team participated in as part of their
preseason training. It took place at the Florida Keys youth camp in
Eustis. They did various activities to help them gain a sense of team
unity and friendship while also building leadership skills within the
;iiOup. Finding a niche and a place to belong was very important to
students, as it is the first taste of "real life" for most. Sports teams
offered the opportunity to socialize and work with others who
shared a common interest.

When you think of FOCUS/SOAR (first year student orientation), the first thing
that come to mind is freshmen. Every year since 1 980, the office of Student Life
has provided an opportunity for new students to participate in a 4 day orientation
program called FOCUS. With "FOCUS" as the acronym for "friends on campus,"
the purpose became helping students learn more about Stetson's academic as
well as campus life. Just as important is the assistance given to transition the
students into Stetson life. First year student Ryan Rudd commented that
"FOCUS was a good place to meet people and learn more about the school
before the year actually started."
The program recognizes that beginning a new school is often just as hard for the
families of the new students. Parents or guardians are letting go of their young
"future graduates" and have as many, if not more, questions than their student.
Special sessions are held throughout the program that help to answer their
questions and concerns.
Putting on this year's 4-day program was an enormous task. Undertaken by
Student Life and a staff of roughly 40 student leaders, sessions such PlayFair,
placement testing, and registration were made possible.
The conclusion of FOCUS/SOAR brought both new and returning students
together in the Rinker Fieldhouse for a "Night of Hip Hop" featuring rap artist
Rahzel. FOCUS was considered a success as the students began to feel that
they were a part of Stetson and the students' families felt a sense of relief.
The 2001 FOCUS staff
returned to campus
four days before
FOCUS began for
extensive training.
After participating in
numerous activities and
hearing speal<ers from
a wide variety of
Stetson staff, such as
Paul Marcaurelle of
Food Services and
IVIichelle Espinosa of
Residential Life, the
leaders were ready to
assist the first year
students.

WHERE TO PARK?
BY CAIG MARSK PHOTOS BY KATHER 1 NE KNOCHE
"What do I do? There's nowhere to park!" Students coming back to their dorms after an
evening out or a weekend at home often heard these phrases. With stricter parking codes
enforced the first days of class, students often found themselves walking further to their
cars than to class.
The new parking plan consisted of breaking the campus into 4 quadrants: east, central,
north and west. Students were assigned parking decals with the specific area of resi-
dence displayed. In previous years, students living in the new east district (Gordis, Smith,
and Nemec) had been known to drive across campus to park closer to their classes or to
the cafeteria. This took spaces away from needy residents of halls such as Emily,
Chaudoin, and Stetson. "It's such a small and self-contained campus," said William
Neutzel, "that you shouldn't need to drive anywhere. Especially not to class." These
restrictions prompted Public Safety to step up enforcement of the new regulations.
Officers cited drivers with numerous tickets until students realized that this was no joke.
With more restricted parking procedures in place, cars competed for prime spaces within
their area. Many times, parking meant walking a block from the residence hall to your car
parked in an additional lot. The overcrowded parking facilities prompted the idea of
restricting freshmen cars on campus along with a number of other proposed solutions to
the problem. "It's important that freshmen be able to drive and park on campus. Students
away from home and work need transportation. It would be unfair to restrict this type of
privilege," said Angelo Goderre.
Parking may not have been the most controversial issue on campus, but it was certainly
one that struck close to home for many. Having a vehicle on campus became a way of life
for students, something they did not want to be without.

The sign states it loud and clear. Students who did test
their luck with parking enforcement officers often found
themselves either without a car, or with a hefty fine to
pay. Above Left: A rarity at any dorm, this open parking
space won't stay that way for too long. Stricter parking
restrictions and a new decal program did, however, help
to alleviate some of the overcrowding of parking lots in the
heart of campus. Top Right: Brighter, more visible
decals for faculty were in place so that their prized
spaces could be reserved. It became easy to spot a
faculty member driving around town by the brilliant blue
decal adorning the vehicle. Bottom Right: A new
addition to the student decals was the letter preceding the
registration number. This letter signified the area in which
the vehicles' owner was permitted to park. Students who
parked in restricted areas or the wrong lots often pay the
price. Parking areas included the central, north, west, and
east.

October 13, but the
exhibition continued
through November 10.
Many students and their
families took the opportu-
nity to see the show.
"Horror Vacui," the title of
Steve Danko's show,

The weekend of October 20-22 brought some new faces to campus as family
weekend commenced. This special time brought family members to campus
and allowed them to experience a little bit of campus life while enjoying their
students' company. For many out-of-state students, it was the first time they
had seen their parents since the day they moved to campus. For others, it was
not such a big deal, since their families lived close by. This year, the theme for
Family Weekend was "Cabaret 2000, Presenting Stetson's Finest" and thus had
an overall Broadway theme. The various events had Broadway names such as
"God Spell" for the Baptist Campus Ministries' dinner theater.
The events started on Friday with parents checking in from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Tours were offered as well as lunch in the Commons. One of the featured events
throughout the weekend was Stetson's production of "Into The Woods" in Stover
Theater, which sold out all four days. Saturday brought the greatest variety of
activities of the three days. There was a reception in the morning with the
president of the university, and an open house at the Gillespie Museum of
Minerals. An address was given by the President followed by lunch around
Holler Fountain. The Duncan Gallery of Art was also open for families to view.
No matter what activity was chosen, it was guaranteed to be a good time for all.
Of course there was a performance of "Into the Woods" in the evening, along with
the main event of the weekend, "Cabaret 2000." At this time, students performed
Broadway and Jazz-style music for the families in attendance. On Sunday, it
was time to say farewell, as breakfast was the last meal together at Family
Weekend 2000. Family Weekend provided a wonderful opportunity for families to
see what Stetson is all about.

What would you say was the biggest culture shock for you when you came to the United States for the
first time?
"The American slang really threw nne off the wall!"
- Siu Wah Wong, Hong Kong
Senior, Biochemistry & Ciiemistry
"I did not have the biggest cultural shock. When I came I decided not to wonder on anything. All things that were
strange to me I consumed as some interesting information I should hold for future use. So there wasn't much of
the cultural shock or maybe I just do not remember, since it was more than a year ago."

What advice would you give to Americans who have not had the opportunity to see another part of
the world, as you have?
"Travel! It is the most fantastic and amazing thing to get to know people from other places. Keep your eyes
open, because everyone around you carries his own world, that's good enough. Use the opportunity to come
together with people, they'll be just grateful."

"If you'll ever happen to go anywhere, tell them that you are Canadian rather than American. People have less
prejudice against them."
Asya Kurmangalinova, Kazakhstan
Freshiman, Business
"Well, I'd tell to my American feliaz, that America is not the "whole world" they see. Do discover the world fully
for themselves, they need to go out beyond the legal boundaries of the US. There are so many different cultures,
faces, dishes out there that they could have never thought about. And the further they go, the more they see,
the more they learn. Life is not always about what you have, you have to seek for new. Something that you
might have never known is waiting you out there, face the challenge. Life is short."

Every year in early November, Stetson participates in its fund-raiser known as
Greenfeather. In its 46"' year, Greenfeather featured community service days at
the opening and closing of the week when students will donate volunteer hours to
some of the West Volusia agencies the charity events support. "Service
Wanted" was this year's theme.
Stetson student organizations around the campus: sororities, fraternities,
residence halls, clubs, and other groups compete against each other to raise the
most money during the week by also holding public events, such as a yard sale,
to involve the DeLand community. Student organizations pay a fee to enter the
events and receive participation points for their involvement, with each organiza-
tion competing for the most points.
Throughout the 46-year history of Greenfeather, events and activities have
changed to adapt to the student audience. This year, several new events will be
added, including the "Greenfeather 500," in which participants ride tricycles in a
relay race around the middle of campus, and the Twister Tournament, with teams
playing the game of Twister until a single campus champion team is declared.
Such events will complement the more traditional chalk-art contest, basketball
tournament, bowling night, banner contest and rock-a-thon, in which students in
rocking chairs take shifts rocking and soliciting money from passersby.
One of the most popular events was "Ainwaves," in which the different organiza-
tions prepared lip-synch performances to delight and amuse the audience. With
exciting events such as this, it is no wonder why Greenfeather is one of the
highlights here at Stetson.
Brian Derby and Jaclyn
Nesheiwat were the
hosts for this year's most
popular Greenfeather
event, Air Waves. As
many of the fraternities,
sororities, and organiza-
tions lip-synched their

audience cheered and
laughed at the many
exciting dance moves
and parodies. Britney
Spears did not appear
during the show, but
many of the acts showed
dedication and practice,
making it a fun event for
all to participate in and
watch.

was high and the bicycles
went round and round.

No matter what their major, how many organizations they are involved in, or
how much free time they have every day, every student encounters stress.
Some have been plagued by stress for longer than others, and have found
ways to deal with the pressure. But for others, college is their first taste of
that pressure and they don't have any idea how to deal with the stress of
such things as an increased work load and final exams
For those who felt they needed a break from studying for their exams, the
Mollis Center offered that break. Every year during exam week (in Fall and
Spring), they sponsored the "Stress Free Zone". Inside the Hollis Center
were massage stations, free food, a board game room, and plenty of time to
relax. The Stress Free Zone offered students an event to look forward to
during the bleak time of stress and pressure at the end of each semester.
In addition to this Hollis Center event, many RA's sponsored stress relievers
in their residence halls during finals. This could be a movie screening, free
food and drinks, games, music or anything to get students' minds off of
studying.
But stress isn't something that students just experience during exams,
rather, it is something that they deal with on a daily basis. To keep from
getting too stressed out, students would take breaks during the week to go
out to dinner, to hang out in a friend's room, or to go to a movie. On
weekends and Thursdays, many students relieved their stress by hitting the
bars and clubs in town or in nearby Orlando. Either way you look at it,
stress is a natural part of college life, and students are always finding new
ways to relieve it.
One of the activities at the "Stress-Free Zone" was a game room, giving students the
opportunity to enjoy some old favorites such as "Trivial Pursuit" and try out some new
ones, such as "Survivor." Some students even got crafty by making jewelry with a
bead-making kit. The "Stress-Free Zone" ensured that students could survive
something far more terrifying than the Australian Outback or a deserted island: final
exams.
CSA did something new
by having a concert in
an outdoor setting at
Rinl<er Field. Melissa
Gainey thought that
"having the Sister
Hazel/ Big Sky concert
outside on campus as
an 'Under the Stars'
theme was a great
idea. It definately drew
a huge crowd of
people."
Singing their more popular
song, "All For You," Sister
Hazel drove the Stetson
fans crazy. The band was
not only a local hit, but a
national hit as well. "All For
You" was the group's first
single, and one of the most
played songs of 1997.

Bigger acts, the number one request by the student body for the Council of
Student Activities (CSA). This year they fulfilled that request beyond many
people's expectations. Preparations for a concert began months in advance
and CSA managed to secure a band whose popularity among college
students was wide spread. The show opened with a Stetson favorite: Big
Sky. Following their performance was none other than Sister Hazel. The
group played a number of their top hits, including "All For You."
Sister Hazel seemed an appropriate choice being that they were a semi-
local band, hailing from Gainsville. They have spent the past three years
touring the world and were promoting their third release, "Fortress." The
event was co-programmed by Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Nu, the Commu-
nity Service Office, OxFam, and Residential Life.
Rather than hosting the event inside Rinker Fieldhouse, the location chosen
was Rinker Field, outside the Hollis Center. A stage was erected that
included a top-notch speaker system and lighting. The cool, clear weather
helped to draw a crowd of around 1 ,500. Beyond the actual performance, a
variety of stands were set up to sell concessions and Big Sky/ Sister Hazel
merchandise. Furthermore, promoters offered free samples of their prod-
ucts to the concert go-ers.
The show proved to be a great success for CSA and all those involved. The
student body reaction was definitely taken note of and more "large scale"
events are being planned for the future.

This past January, Stetson moved all business classes to the Bank of America due to
renovations to the LBC. Major construction has already occurred on the LBC and will
continue until the new business center is opened in the fall of 2002.
student life
BY SAL MANCINI, PHOTOS BY KATHERINE KNOCHE
One of the biggest changes on campus this year was the closing of the Lynn
Business Center for renovations. Plans have been in the making ever since
Christine Lynn made a $1 0 million donation. The new building which is sched-
uled to open by the Fall 2002 semester will be very different from the LBC we
know today. The renovation will add almost 1 5,000 square feet to the building,
including a 1 50-seat auditorium, and two new wings, one for the accounting
department and the other for the Center for Information Technology. Other major
changes include a brick resurfacing, 12 "smart" classrooms (with the latest
technology installed), and videoconferencing capabilities.
While all of these changes are occurring, all business classes have been
temporarily moved to the Bank of America, located in downtown DeLand. "The
extra two-block walk isn't too bad, especially when the weather's nice," said
seniorfinance major Jon Hartl. "I was very skeptical of the move when it was
first approved, but the Bank has accommodated the students very nicely," added
Hartl. Business classes took place on the second and third floors of the Bank,
with a lounge located on the third floor. Many of the business students began to
go into the downtown area for lunch. "I'm glad that it's [the Bank of America] so
close to Bellini's" said senior finance major Jason Smith. Students could be
seen at many local eateries from deli's like Bellini's to sit down restaurants like
Havana Cuba. This was definitely the best move for the university to make, and
many of the younger students will be able to reap great benefits from the newly
improved LBC.
Students have their

Bank of America. IVIany

school from campus,

stetson's Council for Student Activities is a betiind-the-scenes organization that puts
together all of the events that students call "fun." The campus handbook describes CSA
as "the organization responsible for providing entertainment events and programs for the
Stetson student body." Typically, this programming includes concerts, lectures, comedi-
ans and other forms of entertainment and education to keep the campus alive. Tradition-
ally, CSA kicks off the year with events during FOCUS, new student orientation. This year
the band Jim's Big Ego kicked off the festivities after playfair, with an estimated 300
people in attendance. Another big night during FOCUS was the Dive-in Movie, in which
the movie "Road Trip" was shown by the pool. Over 250 students attended this event.
Rounding things out for the FOCUS weekend, the self-described "vocal percussionist"
Rahzel wowed a crowd of 200 with his incredible talent. Freshman Mark Maundrell said,
"Rahzel was amazing. It was a great choice for FOCUS because his music is diverse and
his talent is unbelievable". Scream week was also well-attended. It included "Scream III"
being shown on a big screen at Hulley Tower and a performance by comedian Jamie
Kelley, who co-starred in the movie. As well as providing events on campus, CSA often
organizes outside trips to places such as this year's Halloween Horror nights. The annual
Stress Free Zone in the Hollis Center was also planned during finals week for students
who needed to relax. The second semester held a busy schedule, with the much-
anticipated hypnotist Tom Deluca performing in January. This was an even that students
had come to look fonward to every year. One of the participants, Sidney Jackson said, "It
was really fun to be a part of his show, but I would love to see it from the audience's point
of view next time!" As you can see, with the job of keeping Stetson students entertained,
CSA advisor Holli Berry and her team of students have their work cut out for them.

Community baths, sharing rooms, and being locked out are all part of the residential
experience. Besides the usual upperclassmen and freshmen dorms, there are
special interest housing programs at Stetson that focus on community and even
some of the academic programs.
While wall<ing to the east side of campus, the sidewalk passes the L-shaped build-
ings of the Carson-Hollis dormitories. It is a unique co-ed layout; although the
buildings are connected, Carson houses 100 boys, and Hollis houses 100 girls. Its
main inhabitants are freshmen, and is also the location for freshmen Honors students
and those participating in University Experience.
If a student has an interest in extending the use of language beyond the classroom,
the Foreign Language House is a unique area set aside for students who are actively
enrolled in the study of foreign languages as well as for international students.
Students living there also have the opportunity to explore various aspects of culture
and increase language proficiency.
There are also on-campus apartments located in the south part of campus on Amelia
Avenue. Now known as the Community Service House, the Best Apartments are
spacious and provide all the amenities, including a living area and kitchen.
Many students have found the special interest housing a definite benefit since it can
help ease the transition into college life, while still providing the social atmosphere in
which all students take advantage in college. Heather Brown, a first-year student,
currently lives in Hollis Hall and enthusiastically states, "I think one of the most
important aspects of going to college is the residence hall. I am glad to have been
placed here since it provided me with friendships, study groups, and fun!"
The Foreign Language House, located between Conrad Hall and Sorority Row, has all
the amenities an international or language-oriented student would want in housing
With students speaking languages such as Spanish, French, and German, a conver-
sation is never hard to find. Specialty housing at its best. Stetson finds ways for all
students to come together

"Airwaves" is a student lip-sync contest tinat is one of tine Greenfeather fundraising events.
This event is by far Greenfeather's most popular, in order to participate in the various
Greenfeather events, student organizations pay an entry fee to enter each event and
receive participation points for their involvement, with each organization competing for the
most participation points.
Second and third place winners were recognized in this event, however, the top four
honors were Best Sorority, Best Fraternity, Best Organization, and Best Overall. This
year, both the Best Fraternity and the Best Overall honors were awarded to Alpha Phi
Alpha, Stetson's first historically black fraternity. AOA's amazing performance was lead
by senior Will Robertson. When asked about Alpha Phi Alpha's win, Robertson said, "It
[Airwaves] was fun. We practiced extremely hard and expected to win something, but we
had no idea that we would win Best Fraternity and Best Overall. The win was both
surprising and exciting for the fraternity as a whole. Right now, we are just trying to keep
the momentum as we prepare for Greek Sync."
The Baptist Collegiate Ministry took home the trophy for Best Organization, with their
rendition of Dean Martin's Italian favorite, "That's Amore."
The Best Sorority honors went to the Alpha Phi Alpha's sister sorority, the AKA's. The
Alpha Kappa Alpha's took top honors with their outstanding performance to a hip hop
medley, including Aaliyah's "Try Again," Outkast's "Bombs Over Baghdad," and LIT Kim's
"How Many Licks." AKA president Natara Williams said: "We were all really happy about
the win. We worked really hard because we love performing, especially in the "Ainwaves"
competition. However, we never thought that we would win top honors. It was just a really
nice surprise and I was very excited."

During the holiday season the Student Government Association sponsored the
community wide "Adopt an Angel" program. Residence halls, fraternities,
sororities, clubs and individuals chose the name of a child from the Christmas
tree located in the lobby of the Carlton Union building. Sponsors then regis-
tered their child with Mickey Parker in the Mollis Center and picked up the
child's Christmas wish list. Weeks of shopping and searching for the perfect
gift culminated in the "Adopt an Angel" dinner.
Loads of children, accompanied by their parents and/or grandparents gathered
in the Stetson Room where they met their student sponsor for the first time.
The room was filled with the holiday spirit as Santa Claus read "Twas The
Night Before Christmas" and carols played in the background.
Not only were the children excited about opening presents, but the sponsors
felt great about giving into the holiday spirit.
When asked about his participation in the Adopt An Angel program, sopho-
more Derrick Dewitt stated, "I love seeing people happy, and i just wanted to
give some child a great Christmas"
First year student Valerie Fischer, adopted a 1 3-year-old girl, and felt that it
was a rewarding experience. She said, "I felt like it was Christmas day for
me, because I was so excited to give her the present and to see her open it."
When asked if she will participate next year, Valerie, without hesitation,
answered: "Definitely!"
The entire campus felt
the holiday spirit, and
decorations could be

glowed with colored

STETSON WEEKEND
BY KRISTEN WILLIAMS. PHOTOS BY KATHER 1 NE KNOCHE
"Stetson Weekend" is another name for Homecoming Weekend at Stetson University.
TInis is a time for alumni to return to campus and to enjoy a variety of activities as well
as mingling with present undergraduates. Many current students take part in the
planning and execution of Stetson Weekend activities, including the Multicultural
Student Council, and the Stetson Alumni Association.
Stetson Weekend 2001 was packed with celebration festivities, as the Stetson commu-
nity braced themselves for the unveiling of the actual fund-raising dollar amount from the
$200 Million Campaign, in the largest fund-raising effort in the school's history, Stetson
University has raised well over $235 million. The culmination of the campaign took
place in the Rinker Field House in the Hollis Center on January 26, at the "Thanks For
Our Future" donor appreciation dinner. As the evening came to an end, the highly
anticipated banner was dropped from the rafters revealing the actual $235,584,479
dollar amount, the Stetson Jazz Ensemble played, balloons dropped, and the audience
cheered.
Stetson President Doug Lee thanks the supporters as the slogan "Victory Comes From
Doing Your Best" hung on both sides of the gymnasium wall. Over 8,700 supporters
joined the national campaign, lead by Hyatt and Cici Brown and Mark and Lynn Hollis.
The celebration atmosphere carried over to the Edmunds Center that Saturday as
alumni and current students cheered for the Hatter Men's Basketball Team, who played
TAAC rivals University of Central Florida. The fans roared as Santos Hampton and
Sebastian Singletary scored 28 and 1 8 points respectively, leading the Hatters to an
83-65 win overthe Knights. I smell VICTORY in the air!!

Especially for first-year students, much of the new school anticipation is over
who they will be sharing their room with. During the spring, many freshmen filled
out a survey about their likes, dislikes and other various questions. The Depart-
ment of Residential Life worked avidly in pairing up compatible roommates that
don't necessarily have to be best friends, but can at least get along. If the
pairing doesn't work, at least there are the escapes of room change week, which
is offered throughout the year. Luckily for upperclassmen, they can choose to
not go through the lottery system again, and instead choose a roommate on
their own.
Having a roommate can be a completely new experience for most coming here
to Stetson. Since many were used to living alone, there is quite a transition to
getting used to having someone else in the room, playing music, studying, or
visiting with friends. The Roommate Agreement was developed in order to bring
to the surface many of the common issues. From room visiting hours to the
condition of the room, the signatures are that of agreement to each other's
wishes concerning residential life.
Many agree on the idea that the relationship can work well as long as there is
effort from both sides. Plus, the perks of a suite bath involve the downside of
sharing it with three other people. Therefore, the lessons from kindergarten
about the importance of sharing come back many years later in living situations.
If that doesn't sound too great, there are always single rooms, but it's important
to keep in mind that there aren't enough to go around the entire student body, so
choose carefully!

Keeping on track with Stetson's 'diversity'
mission, organizations on campus provided
numerous opportunities for a wide variety and
level of involvement. With over 90 organizations
ranging from the Russian Club to Model Senate,
you could hardly argue that there was not
something for everyone.
Organizations were divided into eight categories.
These included academic, honorary, religious,
activity, service, campus life, Greek, and special
interest. While the organizations varied in
membership number, becoming involved was a
fairly easy process. For most organizations, twice
year applications were accepted and reviewed
With the diversity aspect of Stetson organizations
established, it is important to acknowledge the
benefit of organization involvement. Participating
in extracurriculars on campus enhances the
student's academic and personal development. It
is an opportunity to use skills such as public
speaking, rather than just hearing about them in
the classroom.
According to senior Into the Streets chairperson,
Kaila Campos, "Being involved with Into the
Streets has given me numerous opportunities

Organizations school-wide took a leading role in Daytona
Beach's American Heartwalk. Members posted a large
banner in front of the CUB, and took turns asking passing
students and faculty for sponsorship. Those willing to
sponsor a walker pledged to pay a set amount per mile
that the participant walked. Once the walk was walked,
the money went to the American Heart Association,
which works to increase awareness about heart disease and
stroke. Every sorority and fraternity is involved in
community service. Alpha Chi Omega sponsors an annual
"Domestic Violence Week" during which they distribute
information about domestic violence. By doing this, they
hope to increase awareness of such a critical issue, as well
as to provide the student body with resources for dealing
with an abusive relationship. In addition. Sigma Phi
Epsilon sponsored a "Rock Against Cancer" in honor of
two alumni who are cancer survivors, while the Zeta's are
involved with breast cancer awareness.

A Habitat for Humanity project was sponsored campus-wide. Re-
ligious organizations were prime participants with this program.
Habitat for Humanity is an organization that provides low-cost
homes for underprivileged families. In order to keep the costs
down, the building and hard labor is done by dedicated volunteers.
Stetson's religious organizations have a lot on their plates. One of
their primary functions is to bring together students of a common
faith, both to worship as well as to build a friendly support system.
In addition, religious organizations participate in service projects,
giving back to the community and sharing in their faith.
Greenfeather is the ultimate activity for organizations. It brings
together Greek organizations, service organizations, clubs and resi-
dence halls with a shared common goal of raising money for the
corrununity and having fun. A week long competition, Greenfeather
has numerous events, mcluding the Rock-A-Thon. Each event has
a "winner"- the group that raises the most money, and there is
also an overall winner. The competition gets quite fierce, but it's
all in good fun, and it's all for a good cause.

in 1 888 at Boston University. Our Alpha Delta chapter of Delta
Delta Delta was founded on Stetson University's campus in
1913 with the purpose of developing character and friendship.
Comnnunity service is and has always been an integral part of
our sisterhood. For the 4th consecutive year we have earned
the Etter Turner Service Award for outstanding involvement in
community service. Our national philanthropy is Children's
Cancer Charities, Tri Delta sisters nationally spend time donat-
ing hours of service to raise money for St. Jude's Children's
Cancer Research hospital in Memphis, Tennesse. Locally our
chapter also volunteers with the Boggy Creel< Gang in Eustis,
Florida. Through our annual golf tournament, we riased over
$2300 this year alone to benefit these organizations. Along with
our commitment to service, our chapter also enjoys our time
together at our biannual formal events, annual Crush Party,
fingerpainting with Sigma Phi Epsilon, and several Delta's Only
funcions. As a whole, the sisterhood of Delta Delta Delta is
based on pride and friendship as we live up to our motto: "Let
us steadfastly love one another."

as each girl is selected by her new

either their first or second choice
sorority.

new recruits as well
as their big sisters.
Many of the girls

selection into the right

Every fall, social sororities and fraternities participate in recruitment,
formerly known as "Rush." Recruitment tal<es place over a period of
four days with the process being slightly different for the girls and
guys. Girls participating in recruitment separate into small groups
with a Rho Chi. A Rho Chi is a member of the Greek system who has
disassociated themselves from their sorority in order to help the new
people who are rushing. Until the day that the girls are chosen for
membership, the Rho Chi is not allowed to tell which sorority she
belongs to. She must try hard to be unbiased.
The first two days of women's recruitment are called "Cokes". During
these parties, potential members visit all of the sorority houses to
mingle. Usually light snacks are served and the party is more or less
an informational session. After the second day of "Cokes", the Rho
Chi calls the girls and informs them which houses have invited them back. From those callbacks, potential new members may
pick up to three to return for a second round of parties. During the second round of parties each sorority focuses on their
philanthropy and other service work. The same selection process then occurs, and girls may choose again which houses to
.return to out of those that have invited them back. Finally comes the preference party. This is the last party that the new
members have to get to know the sororities better. A lot of pressure is placed on this party, as it is often the determining factor
in a girl's choice. As Recruitment comes to a close, each girl must complete a Bid Card. On the Bid Card, one must write
their 1st and 2nd preference. A couple of hours after Bid Cards are signed the Rho Chi's let each girl know which sorority has
dually selected her.

ng money

In order for Stetson University to keep its students on scinolarslnips and to continue building new facilities, there
is one thing it needs: money. Not only does this come from tuition, but also from fundraising. Stetson just
celebrated its $200 million-dollar campaign in January. It was the greatest
fundraising effort in its history. Over a decade ago, the university and its Board of
Trustees set an ambitious goal of raising $200 million in cash and pledges by the
end of the century. The construction of the Mollis Center, Wilson Athletic Center,
Mandy Stoll Tennis Center, along with renovations to the DuPont-Ball Library
came from this campaign. Without the support of its students, alumni, and other
gift-givers, many private schools would be lacking the proper resources.
Fundraising also applies to that of charity. Many organizations around campus
participate in different activities in order to raise money for services around the
DeLand area. In November, the 46'" Annual Greenfeather week took place, where
the many clubs, sororities, and fraternities competed against each other not just
for pride, but also for good causes.
Besides Greenfeather, one can walk around campus and see flyers for different
events such as Circle K's "IDD Bowl For Life." The sororities and fraternities are also associated with different
philanthropies in order to raise money for literacy, breast cancer. Habitat for Humanity, etc.
Stetson knows the importance of fundraising and the benefits it brings its students.

Greek Week is a time when all of the Greek organizations compete
against each other in various activities. This year's Greek Week
included the following events: Greek Olympics, barbecue and volley-
ball tournament, Greek Bowling, Greek Week T-shirt Day, and Greek
Sing. Greek Olympics is a series of wacky games, and included a
marshamallow-eating contest this year, as well as a Twister competi-
tion. Greek Sing gives sorority and fraternity members a chance to
get creative. Each group puts together a song and dance routine to a
popular song. The catch is that they must change the words to

is a great event to attend for Greeks and non-Greeks alike. You get to
see your fellow classmates singing and dancing- some who are not
so good at singing and dancing. In addition, the costumes that the Greeks come up with are often worth seeing!
The Sigma Phi Epsilon/ Zeta Tau Alpha team won the Greek Week bowling tournament, while the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority

Other winners included Pi Beta Phi sorority, who took home top honors in the Banner Contest and Greek sync. Sophomore
Rachel Duerr said, "it [Greek Week] was a great way to spend time with your sisters and have fun." Greek Week is an
opportunity for Greeks to get together, strut their stuff, and participate in some healthy competition to see who comes out on
top. It also provides a nice break from the normal monotony.

Phi Sigma Kappa
Phi Sigma Kappa was founded in 1 873 at tine IVIassactiusetts Agricultural College in Amiierst. Among its otiier students in
early 1 870's it had attracted six men of varied backgrounds, ages, abilities and goals in life, who saw the need for a new and
different kind of society on campus that was receptive to experimentation. There, our founders, banded together in their
sophomore year to form a "society to promote morality, learning and social culture." As an integral part of Stetson's Greek
community since 1 974, Phi Sigma Kappa has created a tradition of excellence and achievement. Emphasizing our cardinal
principles, the promotion of Brotherhood, the stimulation of scholarship, and the development of character, we enjoy unparal-
leled diversity and friendship. Our lasting bonds of brotherhood enable us to participate actively in the Stetson community.

Every year, Student Life hosts an Organizational Fair to give the clubs on campus an opportunity to showcase their organi-
zations' ideas and areas of interest. This fair is hosted at the beginning of the
school year, partly to encourage new students to maximize their university experi-
ence. With over 90 clubs and organizations, every student has the opportunity to
find his or her niche in the large spectrum of Stetson's campus life. The myriad of
opportunities includes organizations such as Into The Streets, a volunteer organiza-
tion which allows students the opportunity to meet together to plan service projects
throughout the community. The Multicultural Student Council is involved with
raising students' awareness of the diverse cultures on Stetson's campus. The
Council for Student Activities is responsible for the entertainment on campus.
Recent acts have included Seven Mary Three, Sister Hazel, and comedian Jimmy
Fallon. Another opportunity for students to get involved in campus life is through
Student Government Association. SGA senators and leaders conduct meetings
and discuss concerns around campus. They are largely responsible for many
changes at Stetson. Most students are actively involved in at least one organization. The various organizations offer
students opportunities to exercise their creative skills, as well as testing their leadership abilities.
Stetson has 6 social sororities,
7 social fraternities, 1 9 honorary
organizations, 20 academically-
related organizations, 10 reli-

As Fabian Linden so plainly avows, "it is useful
occasionally to look at the past to gain a new
perspective on the present." With this, its first
academic year of the new millennium. Stetson
University has adopted a panorama that extends
far beyond its DeLand borders. Stetson boasts
world-renowned departments in such traditional
majors as English, Psychology, Biology, History,
and Mathematics. In addition to those majors.
Stetson is also proud of the most recent areas of
concentration that are indicative to our changing
society, such as Digital Arts, the Family Business
Center, Sport and Exercise Science, and Women
and Gender Studies. Students now have the

the Russian, German, Spanish, and French classes
offered here on campus. Stetson is now offering
classes in Italian and Latin.
Many classes are now meeting and turning in
assignments via BLACKBOARD.com. In addition
to submitting homework, this program also allows
for virtual class meetings via the inter-class chat
room. With this new technology it is possible for
professors to sit in their home offices and discuss
the day's lessons with their students. Stetson is
also proud of its new diversity initiative knows as
the Howard Thurman Lecture Series. Every
semester the lecture series features four outstand-
ing minority leaders in the areas of academia, civil
rights, business, technology, and various other
professional fields. These speakers have added to
the academic ambiance of the university by
enlightening the campus and community on such
issues as diversity, cultural and social awareness,
lilHliiiiiii
millennium is ushering in additions to the tradi-
tional structure of academia, yet Stetson Univer-
sity is still holding fast to the established tradi-

of excellence. The panoramic view of Stetson's
future academic life is looking clearer and clearer.
V
A lot of professors are jumping on the virtual bandwagon
and incorporating tlie Internet into their class activities.
Almost all professors publish an e-mail address on their
syllabi and encourage students to contact them via the
computer network, as opposed to snail mail. Several
professors have gone a step further and designed web pages
for class use. One of the more elaborate web pages has
been done by Dr. Megan O'Neill. Director of First Year
English. On her web page, Dr. O'Neill has made her
syllabus readily available, as well as a class calendar, class
description, and informative tips. Many professors are
also enrolling their classes on BLACKBOARD.com, which
serves as an interactive classroom. On
BLACKBOARD.com, one student can be in his dorm
room in Cordis Hall, another in her Chadouin Hall suite,
and a professor in London, England, and they have the
capability to meet and have class on the net, as opposed
to meeting here on campus.
Going to school in the Sunshine State has its perks. The bright
Florida sun and the beautiful beaches have added a plus to attending
Stetson, and students are taking advantage of their surroundings.
Not only do students study outside between classes, but many pro-
fessors are now taking advantage of the weather by holding their
classes outdoors as well. Students admit to enjoying the outdoor
classes as a break in the monotony of a classroom setting. This
change in setting also serves as a muse of some sort, offering
creative inspirations. Despite the intellectual creativity, having
class in this atypical setting often leaves a student daydreaming
about a day at the beach, which often poses a problem for the
professor of their next class.
Roommates . . .telephones . . . television . . . neighbors . . .UGH!!!
Many students find that because of multiple distractions, they just
can not study in their rooms. When they sit down to write the
term paper, the telephone rings. Or, when they sit down to read
that novel that must be completed by 9:00 tomorrow morning
(and they are only on the title page), Mr./Ms. Roommate has some
kind of crisis that must be solved that instant. Whatever the
reason, students often search for that one quiet spot where they
can just . . . THINK! Some go to the library in search for an empty
study room, while others hide out in the Commons during closing
time. Many times students (especially on a sunny day) resort to
lounging on the steps of Sampson Hall. Finally . . . Chapter 1 !

Stetson University has been given the gift of a rich, eloquent
history, told through the life of Howard Thurman. Dr.
Thurman was a native of Daytona Beach,
Florida and a source of spiritual strength for
this nation through the tumultuous years of
segregation, and later, the Civil Rights
Movement. Dr. Thurman possessed an
intuition so acute that many of his writings
echoed the deepest emotions that the
movement's [unsung] heroes attempted to
conceal. It is written that much of Dr.
Thurman's writings are "modem psalms that
echo the spiritual creativity of African-
American experiences of slavery and suffer-
ing and the redemptive responses to them."
The Howard Thurman Program was established by Dr.
Give me the listening ear.
I seek this day the disciplined
mind, the disciplined heart, the
disciplined life that makes my
ear the focus of attention
through which I may become
mindful of expressions of life
foreign to my own.
— Howard Thurman
Jefferson Rogers, in cooperation with the New Birth Corpora-
tion (a group of African- American civil rights and community
leaders), of which he co-founded along with
famed tennis champion Arthur Ashe. Dr.
Rogers worked directly with both Dr. Howard
Thurman and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Through the Thurman/New Birth Program.
Dr. Rogers has brought a plethora of lectures
to this institution. Stetson University's
campus has been graced by the following
people (as well as a host of others): Marion

Stetson's thirty-first annual Model Senate was one of the
most unique in history. For the first time ever, the Senate was
evenly spht with 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats. The tie-
breaking vote, which was used quite often,
went to Dick Cheney, judiciously played by
Lou Barbieri. Students from different
schools came to Stetson to participate in the
three-day mock Senate and engaged in
activities ranging from committee hearings to
open sessions for the entire Senate. Partici-
pants were able to test their debate skills
through rhetorical as well as empirical
exchanges. Issues covered by the Model
Senate included diverse topics, such as
Missile Defense, Taxes, and Educational Funding. Students
were encouraged to portray their Senator as accurately as
possible by speaking and voting as their Senator might.

led their party's tenuous majority to pass all Republican
backed bills that came to the floor. In addition, all legislation

bipartisanship as well as statesmanship.
Students learned how a divided Senate must
work together in order to accomplish goals.
A further experience enjoyed by Senators was
interacting with the U.S. Senate's actual
parliamentarian. Dr. Robert Dove. Dr. Dove
helped students to learn "tricks of the trade"
in addition to standard parliamentary proce-
dure. The thirty-first Model Senate gave
students the ability to see how their government works while

Boring classes, the need for adventure, no plans for
summer. Whatever the reason, many students chose to
spend their summer studying abroad. Stetson offered a
variety of programs to counteract the summer "slump."
One of these, the School of Business
Innsbruck Program, was the only one
offering classes taught by Stetson profes-
sors, who (for those with no foreign lan-
guage experience) spoke in our native
English. Those that were not Business
School students were also invited to attend
with a variety of classes being offered
ranging from Introduction to German to
Intercultural Communications. Beyond the
familiar class work, study abroad provided
endless opportunities for the college
student. With extended weekends, students paired off
to travel to Europe. Many students chose to purchase
an unlimited Eurorail pass, which allowed them to travel

destinations included Venice, Interlaken, Zurich, Paris
Rome, Amsterdam, and Munich. Some even traveled a
far as Barcelona and London. A huge advantage t
traveling as a young adult was the ability t
stay in youth hostels. This kept costs to
minimum and allowed much more freedom t
come and go. The study abroad experienc

Presser Hall is home to a select few students at Stetson
University, and the word "home" is to be taken literally. It sits
in its own little comer of campus, almost wedged between
Elizabeth and Sampson Halls. Presser
houses over 50 pianos, and has an entire
floor of practice rooms available for student
use. Students are also required to do
homework for certain classes in the state-of-
the-art music computer lab. For many, there
is not much reason to leave Presser Hall
during the day. Between classes, homework
and practicing, everything a music student
needs is at his or her fingertips in Presser
Hall. But for music students, living in this
"second home" is not all fun and games, and they do more
than just play on the pianos and computers. Some people
may mistake musical talent and interest as a lack of academic
talent, but to music students, their musical talent IS their
academic talent.
"For those who question the
academic nature of music, I
encourage them to enroll in
music classes and learn how
to analyze a fugue, spell out
enharmonic modulations and
conduct changing meters."
-Crista Cueto
In a letter to the editor of The Reporter, music admissions
counselor Crista Cueto said, "For those who question the
academic nature of music, I encourage them
to enroll in music classes and learn how to
analyze a fugue, spell out enharmonic
modulations and conduct changing meters."
Does this sound like Greek to you? The
language of music, to many entering fresh-
men, is a foreign language that they must
learn in order to survive the many classes
that use it. Yet another display of Stetson's
musicians' incredible talent is that they can
learn this "language" and quickly adapt to the
painstaking requirements of their degree
program. As Cueto said in her letter to The Reporter, "It's
difficult and rigorous work that simply isn't cut out for small
potatoes."

See Sal Run. Run Sal Run. Perspectives of a sports
event vary from the eyes of those participating and
watching. A joyous soccer team runs off the field
winning 2- 1 . while their opponents sulk in dismay over
their unfortunate loss. A raging crowd overlooks a
hectic basketball game, where players continue to run
back and forth in a frenzy to keep the ball away from
their goal. A baseball player hits the winning homerun
off of a pitch clocked at 1 03 miles per hour. Cheerlead-
ers finally nail that pyramid they have been practicing
for weeks. Runners set and break records at a TAAC
conference meet. A golfer carefully calculates his shot
before he makes that first swing to begin his 1 8 holes.
Fans prepare for games, getting high on school spirit,
ready to cheer on their school. Spectators watch a
tennis match with quiet excitement, turning their heads
left and right, following the ball with just as much
precision as the players. "Sports at Stetson are a
wonderful way to learn responsibility and teamwork,"
says Andrea Villafana. Little kids watch the
Syncronicity dancers strut their stuff as they perform
during half time, hoping that maybe one day they too
can become a dancer. Coaches watch as the crew
team advances in one formation like a fish in wate
hoping to stay in and win the race. A referee
carefully makes the calls for a softball game,
wanting to make the most accurate decision.
Whether you are a coach, player, spectator, or
referee; on the bench, in the stands, watching,
playing, winning or losing, sports have many
different windows from which you can view the
game. Senior Cross-Country runner Sal Mancini
expressed his gratitude to the Stetson Athletic
Department: "my experience with the Cross-
Country team has been very memorable, especial,
our first-e\er plane trip to Sl Louis, Missouri.fm: g
the Cross-Country Only National Champion- '
ships." Clearly student-athletes gain much from
their experience with sports, and involvement in
the program is an integral part of college life.

In the three years that Coach Valerie Anderson has
worked with Stetson's Cheerleading squad, she was able
to take the squad to camp for the first time over
summer break. Over a long weekend, Stetson
Cheerleaders attended a camp held in sunny Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina. The purpose of camp was to
perfect their cheering skills through participating in a
variety of strength training and spirit building
activities. Cheerleaders from various colleges
practiced cheer, sideline, and fight songs and were
ultimately critiqued and awarded based on their ability.
After three long days of strenuous work and perfor-
mance were over, the Stetson Cheerleaders gathered
for a quick picture with Wake Forest and Winthrop
Colleges, two of the other squads that participated in
the camp. To top off a great weekend. Stetson
Cheerleaders brought home first place in cheer and
second place in the fight song category.

Practice makes perfect, at least this is the theory instilled by
coaches in all team members from every type of sport.
Utilizing the facilities in the Hollis Center, Santos Hampton
works on his basketball skills to prepare for the upcoming
season. Hampton has "surprising quickness around the
basket... and with Sebastian Singletary, forms the TAAC's top
rebounding tandem." Ability such as this is not gained
without hard work and hours of practice. Any Stetson
athlete can attest to that.
Receiving advice from the "all-knowing" coaches was
something athletes did with an open-mind. Stetson men's
soccer was no exception. Carl Keever, number 13, utilizes a
time out to take a quick breather and to speak with Sean
Murphy, the team coach. Coaches took on the responsibility
of not only perfecting the team's skills, but also keeping
spirit alive and the team working together. Coach Murphy
has been with the Stetson Men's Soccer program since 1998
and has a trademark ideal that guides the team: optimism.

The women's cross-country team added some
strength with five fast freshmen-- Tara Calderbanl<,
Jennifer Knight, Dyan IVliddleton, Joanna Show, and
Julie Young. Adding power to the roster were returning
players Jessica Bentz, Rachel Duerr, Rachel Hallum,
Kristen Lagor, Kristen McCue, Heidi Maier, Natalie
Kozak and Meghan Ryan.
In September, the team participated in the
UCF Invitational in Orlando. The women finished
eighth out of ten participating teams which included
Hawaii, University of Washington at Green Bay and
Xavier. Kristen McCue lead the team in the 5K run
with a finish time of 28:27, which gave her 32nd place
overall. Other top finishers were Meghan Ryan with a
time of 22:41 , Rachel Duerr with a time of 23:34,
Natalie Kozak with a time of 24:08, Heidi Maier with a
time of 24:53, and Kristen Lagor with a time of 26:33.
McCue was again on top in the 6K run, with a time of
27:05, placing 44th our of 68. Right behind McCue
was Ryan, who placed 48th with a time of 27:48.
In October, the team hosted the 2000 Hatter
Invitational. The women from Milligan College took first
place, and Stetson came in at a solid fourth out of
eight teams. This season has shown some strong
results from top players Kristen McCue and Meghan
Ryan. While the team was not in the lead during
many of their runs, they were not behind either, which
seems to suggest that the team is progressing and
that there is good things to come in the future.

The Stetson Women's Soccer Team enjoyed a memorable
season that improved dramatically from the last with a final
record of seven wins, eleven losses and one draw.
The improvement was due to several reasons. The
team this year was a more cohesive unit thanks to the
growing skill of the players that allowed for them to cre-
atively combine with each other. Contributing to the im-
provement was the consistent play of all-TAAC team
member goalkeeper Genevieve Roy. A senior, Roy holds
the school record for number of saves and shutouts in her
awarding career. Of no less importance were the three
other seniors, defender Hannah Wallace, and midfielders
Maria Williams and Erin Gidney.
Holding together the team was the combative
center midfield combination of TAAC player of the year
freshman transfer from Stockholm Sweden Emma Astrom
and Junior Jackie Catania. Both players were the number
one and two scorers for the Stetson Hatters, respectively.
Convincing wins over South Carolina St. (6-0) in
Washington D.C. and conference foes Mercer (4-0) and
Campbell (3-1 ), both at home, were highlights of the season
that showed Stetson's worth. Their must-win game versus
Troy St. sent them to the conference tournament, an
experience the players will not forget. "I knew when the
penalty kick was given that Emma would comfortably tuck it
away," said her confident teammate Gina Guillem.
The strong nucleus of players returning next
season will be chasing success that seems to be creeping
up on them year-after-year,

Stetson University's iVlen's Soccer team is heading up after
a successful yet unfulfilling season that finished with an
overall record of eight wins and eleven losses.
The season was a roller-coaster ride of performances that
included losses to inferior teams and extraordinary victories.
One such victory came at the hands of 6* ranked in the
nation Furman University, a pivotal 3-2 victory. Stetson also
succeeded in avenging last year's outlandish 6-5 loss to
Jacksonville with a 4-0 drubbing at home.
The season ended in anguish against the Florida Atlantic
University Owls in the Conference Tournament. With a
mere four seconds left in double overtime the Hatters
succumbed to their nightmare defeat. "Never in my worst
thoughts could I come up with an ending like this," said
senior defender Matt Zirkelbach.
The loss of three seniors, scoring sensation Kjell Aasheim
(5'^ all time leading scorer), pin-point crosser Kevan
Watkins, and defensive stalwart Matt Zirkelbach leaves the
team with important roles to fill. However, returning will be
all-TAAC team Scott Winch, TAAC assist leader Chris
Fronk and the two captains Goalkeeper Tim Riek and
defender Joey Fitzpatrickto carry the leadership rolls.
The season was a successful experience for the remaining
core of young players that will surely be hungry for future
success and accolades.
"You have to remember we are only losing three players to
graduation. That gives us a big head start to next season,"
noted freshman midfielder Shannon Mays. The experience
of important victories and a trip to the Conference Tourna-
ment will no doubt come in handy as the Stetson Men's
Soccer teams looks to the future with their head's up.

game, against Jacksonville, was the first in a seventeen-
game winning streak, which tied a school record. Of
these games, there was an impressive 6-1 victory over
Jacksonville State, which was a TAAC match, and a 7-0
victory over Portland State. Their only other losses of
the season were to DePaul University, an April 11th re-
match against Bethune-Cookman, and a final loss to

final record of 1 7-1 2, and their first win in the conference
tournament since 1 994, the Hatter's set a new standard for
upcoming years. Crucial three's, high flying alley-oops, and
smothering defense are all phrases used to describe the
play of the team.
The retirement of highly respected head coach Murray
Arnold, due to health reasons, made news as current head
coach Derek Waugh became the youngest head coach in

team did not lose a step in the right direction. Under the
guidance of Coach Waugh, they tallied thirteen wins,
including two decisive wins over conference rivals UCF.
"We knew Coach Waugh had the ability to coach us
through any situation we would come by. He's a great
coach and he has a great future here with us," said junior
fonward Ricky McConnell.
Sebastian Singletary was named to the All-Conference first
team for the second year in a row. He became the fifth all-
time on Stetson's career rebounding list (754) and second
in steals (1 33). Eugene Ambrose was also honored for his
stellar first year, as he was named to the TAAC All-Fresh-

The Stetson women's basketball team had a
record-breaking year for most overall wins in a
season (22) and most conference wins (1 3). Full of
outstanding performances, both as a team and as
individuals, the Lady Hatter's struck fear into the
eyes of their opponents.
Junior center Kaisa Tuure and senior guard Cher
Dyson were named to the All-Conference 1 =' team,
becoming the first players from Stetson to receive
such individual awards since the 1 996-97 season.
Furthermore, Cher Dyson was awarded for becom-

thirteenth player in NCAA Division 1 history to
record 400 career steals. Fellow teammate Eboni
Long commented "Cher Dyson deserves this
achievement. She works extremely hard on
defense and it looks like it has paid off!"
The season ended prematurely in the semifinals of
the conference tournament when they narrowly lost
to Georgia State, a team they beat two times
during the regular season.
"We feel we will sorely miss the vast contributions
of the four dedicated seniors Cher Dyson, Audrey

responsibilities throughout the day, season and year. He is involved in
scheduling and rescheduling physical examinations, teaching,
instructing, and directing. He coordinates with other schools, is in
charge of the athletic training staff, and is very knowledgeable about
athletically sustained images. Glenn Bhckley's day is long and
strenuous, and he can rarely even find time to eat lunch! Next time
you see him, tell him thanks for all the hard work, even if he doesn't
have time to stop as he buzzes by. He'll appreciate it.

Among the many athletic teams, the Crew
team has continued to exemplify the Stetson spirit.
Founded eleven years ago, the team has fought
hard to build itself to a competitive plane with
schools not only in the area, but big name pro-
grams like Notre Damne and Temple University.
The year was an impressive one for the men's
team. The year was an impressive one for both the
men's and women's teams. The novice men's
boats, including Brian Barbour, Tyrone Deer, John
Martin, Richard Plavnieks, and Matt Sanford, have
never seen such a prosperous year, placing in the
top five at every regatta.
Under the guidance of Coach Charles
Huthmarker, both the women's and men's headed
to the blank. The crew team was not only a close
knit team, but also a close group of friends. It
takes incredible dedication to get up at five in the
morning to practice rowing in cold waters, and the
students that make up the crew team have the
talent and the drive to make something out of this
somewhat young Stetson sport. Even with the
early scheduled practices and long days at a race,
the team has come to appreciate what it has grown
into.

The Softball team started off their season with a new
addition to the coaching staff. Pitching instructor Beth
Dieter joined in September and brings much
expierence to the team. She played for four seasons
with University of Florida, posting a 60-43 career
record. In January, the team was picked in a pre-
season poll to finish third in the Trans-America
Athletic Conference. The previous season they had
finished second in the conference.
Early in the 2001 season, the team got to take a trip
to Hawaii to play in a tournament. Felicity Witt
tossed a two-hit shutout in the first game of the
tournament, but the Hatters ultimately lost to Hawaii,
0-4. Soon after, the team redeemed themselves with
a win over Campbell University in the TAAC opener.
Sabrina Isley won the game with an RBI in the bottom
of the seventh, bring the final score to 1 0-0. Kelli
Lightner pitched three perfect innings during the game,
helping to lead the team to a shortened give-inning
victory.
The team played hard until the TAAC tournament, in
which the ultimately lost 1-0 to Florida Atlantic. While
there were some dissappointing losses, there were
many players that showed their talent during the
season. Junior Katie Harrigan and sophomore Tiffany
Tolleson were both named to the All-Disthct team.
Harrigan batted .226 with one home run and 20 RBI,
leading the team with 1 0 doubles. Tolleson was a first
time all-conference selection with a .321 batting
average, 30 runs scored, and 39 stolen bases. The
Hatters finished off with a 29-24 record, 9-5 in the
TAAC.

The baseball team continues to be something that
Stetson is immensely proud of. They have grown into
a very talented group of players who are bringing
recognition to the university's athletics department.
This season has been no exception, with a total of
forty-three wins in a season of sixty games. Out of
these, twenty-seven were conference games. Some
of the teams best players were Brian Zenchyk, with a
.383 batting average, Jeff Christy with a .378 batting
average, and Frank Corr with a .374 batting average.
Frank Corr has been named an All-American by the
National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association
along with junior pitcher Lenny DiNardo. DiNardo was
a projected first round draft pick and and Corr was
also TAAC player of the year for 2000.
In February, Stetson defeated South Florida with the
help of two strong players- Jason Oglesby hurled six
strong innings and Andy Wilson knocked in three runs
to bring a final score of 6-2. A senior, Oglesby
allowed one run on seven hits, striking out three with
one walk. Freshman Jack Collins pitched the final
three innings, allowing only one run on five hits to pick
up the save. Another powerful victory was over
Tennesse Tech, which was won 9-4. It started off
close with a tie in the top of the fourth, but the Hatters
soon regained the lead with three runs brought in at
the bottom of the fourth.
The games played throughout the season brought in a
steady stream of wins and high scores, and it looks
like up is where this team is heading.

If one were to walk around campus, they would
see the variety of unique students that make up
the university. Whether fans of Dave Matthews
Band or Metallica, Backstreet Boys or Beatles, we
all have one common purpose: higher education.
The education, however, is more than what is
taught in the classrooms or discovered in the labs.
Our education is framed by a knowledge gained by
learning from one another
Would you like to see proof? Just do the wave at
a basketball game, or catch the spirit during
Greenfeather Everything is a learning experience,
from going to classes and studying to seeing a
movie with your hallmates. All of the activities
that college students partake in are invaluable, and
leaving the possibilities endless. There are always
opportunities to get involved, have fun, study,
and just be yourself. So the next time you venture
out, you may find a group who shares your love
for Kubrick films or you may meet a group who,
like you, wants to make Wednesday group library
night. You may have found yourself working as
an RA or you may have spent most of your time in
the computer labs. Did you identify yourself by
what you wore, who you hung out with, or how
you expressed yourself? You may have defined
yourself as an artist, a musician, an individual... or,
you may not have known quite who you were.
Whatever you do, the goal of college life is to find
the nerfect combination of work and nlav. and
ai oiersoirrnerc aic many ciioices auu lucas uiai
incorporate and form together to make each and
every student gain that perspective. Stetson
strives to maintain different worlds on one
campus. Instead of being just a number, each
student is an individual. Emphasis on individual-
ity makes each and every student feel that they are
someone who matters. Variety is the spice of life.
Ultimately, to enjoy yourseii. unce acnieving tnis
goal, many will leave this place with much more
than they came. You won't know unless you try,
so take your perspective and run with it.

Girls just wanna have fun! Residen-

any college or university. First-year
students anticipate the arrival of
his/her new roommate and other
hall mates. Those that live nearest
can become your closet friends.
These girls from the Honors
program take some time to relax
away from HoUis Hall by enjoying
the beautiful campus grounds. Not
only will students be found in the
library, but they can also be spotted
under the trees, on a bench, or at a
table outside the Hatrack. Campus
provides numerous places for
students to make themselves at
home.

Any student knows Fall has arrived here at Stetson once the
intramurals teams take charge on Hollis field. Not only is it a
sports event, but a social event as well. Bringing the fraterni-
ties, sororities, and independent teams together to play flag
football always manages to dazzle any audience of onlookers.
It is a great way to get away from the books, while there are
other sports available in future seasons such as volleyball and
basketball. Intramurals provide an outlet for recreation, in
which previous knowledge of the sport is not required. Any
student interested should stop by the field or court for
guaranteed fun!
Certain classes have been taking different approaches to
learning. Lectures and essays remain a constant at any
institution of higher learning, but creativity is also essential to
a well-rounded, liberal arts education. With many different
academic programs offered here at Stetson, students can
explore his/her particular interests whether it be through
studying here in DeLand or halfway around the world in
Europe.

trie results of tier
senior research
project. Ttie
presentation was
the culmination of
two semester's
worth of work.
Senior research gives students a cinance to sinow winat they have learned in their four years of study. For some, this
allows them to prove that, despite their B- average, they are well versed in their area of study. For others, it is a'major
headache that makes their last year even more difficult. The types of senior research vary with majors. Art students are
required to create a body of professional work which they then present in a senior exhibition. Music majors have a
similar form of research-- they are required to have a senior recital. Other majors require students to research a topic of
their choosing, write a quite lengthy paper, and give a speech about their findings. Erin Medlin, a senior Biology major
chose to do her research on "The Affects of Ritalin on Creativity in Children with ADHD." She chose this subject be-
cause it was of great interest to her, but encountered many problems along the way. "Since I was using human sub-
jects, it took a long time for the Human Subjects Committee to approve my project. Once they did, I had a difficult time
finding subjects willing to participate in the study." Despite her initial problems, Erin's study yielded interesting results,
and was a success. While senior research can be quite a headache, and students often find themselves wishing they'
were business majors, it also provides hands-on learning which will benefit future careers.

The one thing
DeLand isn't short
of is places to eat.
"They Call it
Macaroni" is only a
short walk from
campus, and is
located in the
picturesque and
historic downtown.
When making that final decision on which college to attend, students were faced with the question "What could there
possibly be to do in DeLand?" Well . . .as most students have probably figured out, there is a lot more than one might
think. First of all, Deland has its fair share of great outdoors festivals such as the DeLand Art Festival. The weekend
extravaganza takes place in the streets of downtown and is made up of hundreds of vendors selling beautifully made
arts and crafts. Beyond the sidewalks of DeLand, students always have the great events put on in Daytona, but most
exciting for students is Spring Break. This years' event lasted from March 1 2-31 . During these three weeks, college
kids from across the nation emerged on The Worlds Most Famous Beach" for sun, fun, and 23 miles of sand. Stu-
dents cruised the beach and participated in free concerts and contests. Furthermore, Daytona hosted events such as
Bike Week and Race Week. These long-standing traditions gave students a chance to see and meet a wide variety of
people. Bike Week, for example, has been occurring since 1 937 and is a 1 0-day festival attracting hundreds of
thousands of motorcycle riders from across the world. Likewise, Race Week attracts its share of people for the
Daytona 500 on February 1 8*. The events provided students a chance to interact with people they otherwise might not
have and participate in activities that were a good time for all.

Mothers crying, boxes unloading, and lofts clanking... the sounds of move-in day for
those ever so lucky freshmen. What makes this time so special? Well, besides all
the boxes and the anticipation of a network connection, it allows the new "froshes" to
fully experience life at Stetson.
"The CUB, what is that?" If heard around school grounds, it is most likely from a new
student getting used to the campus jargon. If is not unusual to also see one wander-
ing aimlessly, breathtaken by the fountain and wondering its amazing uses. Oh, and
who can forget the library? The word "study" will actually become a part of the vocabu-
lary and the wonders of finding a book on Socrates might amaze even the most
skilled.
It's actually a joy to find the mailbox, open it on the first try (or maybe not) and find a
letter, even if it is from your annoying sister. The independence, the decisions, and the
student I.D. allow just a few samples of college life. Now, one can have the privilege to
charge the expensive textbooks (which could be used only once the whole semester)
to a lovely account where parents receive the bill and enjoy "all that can fit on a tray" in
the commons.
As many of the upperclassmen reminisce, they will look back on those fun times and
remember all these little things that were so big in the beginning. College is an
experience in itself, so have the time of your life.

In life, sickness is inevitable. Whether it be the common cold or the stomach flu, it will happen
to everyone at some point. But in college, when illness seems to spread like wildfire through-
out the residence halls, many do not have the advantage of being close enough to home to go
to their family physician. Who, then, do the students turn to for care in the event of a sudden
attack of the sniffles? Why, Health Services, of course!
Behind the Mollis Center, on Bert Fish drive, sits the little house that contains all of the stu-
dents' health needs. The doctors and nurses provide students with a wide range of services,
from checkups and giving medicine for colds, to gynecological exams and sex education.
Health Services also serves as a pharmacy, giving students even more options for their health
care.
While most students will have to visit the center at least once in their time at Stetson, some
manage to put it off longer than others. Ashley Wolf, a junior, had managed to stay away until
her third year. "When I finally had to go in, they were very impressed that I had managed to
stay away this long. They said I must be exceptionally healthy. Everyone there was very nice
and Nurse Alvarez's stories were very entertaining while I waited for the doctor to see me."
The friendly staff at Health Services is always willing to lend a hand to your health. No matter
how healthy you are, everyone is welcome, so don't hesitate to visit when you're feeling a little
under the weather.

I have a dilemma. It's 1 2:30 in the morning; I am tired, and I want to go to bed. First,
I must brush my teeth. Unfortunately, I have just dropped my toothbrush on the
bathroom floor. In a community bath, that is grounds for garbage. Therefore, I am out
of a toothbrush. What am I to do? What place is open in DeadLand after 9 p.m. so I
can save my teeth from further decay? Wal-Mart. Yes, the American institution of
low prices and bulk items, and Sam Walton.
Where else can one go to buy cheap potato chips, pick up a prescription, and
wander the aisles at all hours of the night? Stetson students would be at a loss if the
structure were not on Woodland Boulevard. Not only is it a store, but it is also an
escape of boredom. The dorm rooms get stuffy after awhile, studying becomes too
monotonous, and Wal-Mart is that paradise in which all dreams can come true. It is
not surprising to see many Stetson students there buying poster boards for projects,
waiting until midnight for the new Dave Matthews CD on the shelf , or just walking
around finding amusement in one of the many items in the store.
For those students who don't like the idea of spending money, there is always the
handy-dandy Wal-Mart Gift Card. Amounts from five to 1 ,000 dollars can be put on
these cards. They make perfect outlets as attempts to get money. Parents would
love the fact that you are reaping the benefits. So, splurge on the laundry detergent,
nail polish, Funyuns, or whatever other item tickles your fancy.
Wal-Mart is here to stay, and is yet another reason why DeLand isn't so dead. Now,
about my toothbrush. . .

Nutrition
salads
exercise
choices
by rachel hussey
photo by katherine knoche
We all know the "legend" of the infamous "Freshman 1 5." The idea is that freshmen,
while adjusting to their new environment, will gain at least 1 5 pounds. Those who avoid
it are lucky, but those who don't? Well, they will probably be exercising a bit over the
summer and making a conscious effort to make better nutritional choices the next year.
But what can students do when they first arrive to avoid paying for the "Freshman 1 5"
later? The answer is in the cafeteria, my friends. "For most college students, their
lives are so busy that they don't have time to think about what is going into their
bodies," says Kari Ryan, a junior. A well-balanced diet truly is the key to good health.
The Commons is the most widely-used food facility on campus. Ryan observes, "the
Commons usually makes a good effort to offer healthy choices with pasta, veggies, and
fish. The four food groups are always present." Another option for on-campus dining is
the Hat Rack, which gives students more of a "fast-food" menu. "The food [at the Hat
Rack] is good, but one needs not wonder why it is nicknamed The Fat Rack,'" says
Ryan. We, as students, should start getting into the habit of making wise nutritional
choices, such as eating according to the food pyramid and exercising regularly, before
it is too late. Whether it is your weight or health issues such as heart disease that you
are worried about, it is never to early to start turning your nutrition around. If you can't
find anything healthy as an entree in the commons, there's always the salad bar.
Another good piece of advice is for students to take advantage of the Hollis Center,
which provides the opportunity for fitness-club exercising without the price. Even if you
miss out on exercising and eating healthy during your first years, there is still a chance
to learn good habits while you're young.
While it is often difficult to stay
healthy when hamburgers and
fried cheese are at an arm's
reach, the school does provide
alternatives for health-
conscious students. The Hollis
Center sponsored a Wellness
Fair that provided free health
food such as fruit and low-fat
cookies. In addition, there was
a booth with information about
eating healthy.

As students continue to work hard in school, the
DeLand community has showed a great deal of
support for the university. Due to the central
location of the school, there are numerous
opportunities in the area, both professionally and
socially. Since the community is continuously
growing, the interaction between the school and
the local environment is strengthening. "Students
are always willing to participate in events in the
DeLand area, from coaching a little league team to
helping run a blood drive. This interaction allows
students to become well-rounded adults," said
senior Dave Gobeo. Stetson is home to numerous
community service organizations including Habitat
for Humanity, which helps build homes in the
DeLand area, Every once in a while a major-credit - -
card company will appear on campus to try to get
students to sign up for a card. These companies
will offer the students a free shirt or CD case if
they are willing to fill out an application.
Professionally, there are many internships and
part-time jobs available to Stetson students
throughout the school year. Sophomore Kristen
WilUams said, "working at the law firm of Rissman,
Weisberg, Barrett, Hurt, Donahue & McLain, P.A. he
given me a great deal of experience in my field, whicl
will help me when I start my job search." Obviously
there are many professional opportunities within the
DeLand community, from law, to accounting, to
helping teach at a local elementary school.
Stetson is also located 20 minutes from Daytona
Beach and 35 minutes from Orlando, two cities that
each have a thriving nightlife. Due to this fact,
students are able to have the best of both worlds, a
small town atmosphere but also exciting activity. "I
often go to downtown Orlando because there is so
much to do and it's such a short drive," said senior
Wendy Aracich.
-^AU inall, students thri ve^off the loGal-community4a-
many aspects of their lives. This allows them to
expand then perspectives of the world around them.
The mural right outside of Halftimes has always
been a highlight of driving through DeLand. One
of the most beautiful and articulate aspects of the
community, it depicts many of the influential
members of DeLand in past years. Located in
downtown DeLand, students frequently pass the
mural. The downtown section of Woodland
Boulevard has just recently been refurbished to
add a nice and pleasant atmosphere to the city.
In the middle of November, the city actually
closes down Woodland Boulevard for the Fall
Festival of the Arts. This is a two day festival
where artists from the surrounding areas are able
to show, and even sell, their work. People will
come from all over the state just to see the
various works of art. Many Stetson students
volunteer their time to help out with the festival.
The DeLand community has always, and will
forever continue to work hand in had with the
school and its students.
The Best Inn University, located right across from Emily
Hall, has always had a packed house during family and alumni
events. Formerly called the University Inn. the name was
changed last year after renovations. Many parents stay at
this hotel during SOAR and FOCUS, as well as Family
Weekend. The relationship between Stetson and the Best Inn
has always been great. Before the Mollis Center was built, the
hotel permitted students to use their pool. This allowed
students to get a few minutes in to relax between classes and
meetings. Now, newly renovated, the hotel is considered one
of the best and most comfortable places to stay when visiting
the university.
The Publix supermarket off of International Speedway has
become one of the best places for students to do their food
shopping. Ever since seniors were allowed to move off campus
without financial penalty, many students have gotten apartments
in the DeLand area and now need to cook for themselves. The
Publix shopping center allows students to get food and also a
movie at nearby Blockbuster. Students can be seen at both of
these stores throughout the day. Although DeLand has a historic
part of town, it is also a very commercial city as well. This
allows students to have a great deal of opportunity when it comes
to jobs, but to also have the relaxed atmosphere that comes with
the historical sites. community/

Thank you to the
parents and
coporations who
supported the
graduates of
2001.
The Hatter Yearbook
2000-2001
I would like to thank my dedicated and hard-working staff for
putting so much time and effort into making this book. The
Hatter is going to see many changes in the next few years, and
hopefully the work of future staffs will enable this book to
continue to be a Stetson tradition. I wish good luck to those
future staffs.
I would also like to thank my editorial board.
Sal, thank you for all the work you did this year. Even though
you moved into an unfamiliar position, you did a fantastic job
and I was glad to have worked with you these
past four years. Jenny, you not only put a ton of
effort into this year's book, but you were instru-
mental in
fighting to keep the book around and working
to evolve it into something more geared to a
college audience. Erin, you were my best friend, my favorite
model and my business manger Thanks for
selling ads and for dealing with the phone calls from irate
parents! Holli, thank you for keeping us all sane, for planning
for next year, and for helping us out with anything and
everything.
To the rest of my staff, thank
Sincerely,
Wendy Aracich
Editor-in-Chief, 2000-2001
you and good luck.

Dedication
This book is in dedication to a student who was taken
from us too soon.
Ruben Eduardo Torres, 21, of Deltona, passed away July
18, 2001 due to injuries sustained in an automobile
accident. A full-time student, Torres was studying in the
pre-dental program and taking extra-credit summer courses
at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Born in Orlando,
he was a lifetime resident of Central Florida, and a 1998
graduate of Pine Ridge High School in Deltona.

WHatS-
Skateboarding was just one of the events of
the Drop Zone, which was sponsored by a
marl<eting class in conjunction with other
organizations and corporations. In additon,
there was a rock-climbing wall, jousting, free
and food. However, the main event-- a
skydiving drop- never happened. Perhaps
this was the point?

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, perspective is a noun that represents thi
relationship of aspects of a subject to each other and to a whole. Each of us is an
individual at Stetson, but as a whole, we make up the University. Our experiences in
college allow us to see things from other perspectives and to become more knowledge-
able about the world around us. Being friends with an international student allows us
the chance to meet someone from another country and to see things from their point of
view. Involvement in a community service organization gives us the chance to help out
in the community, to see those who are less fortunate, those who are sick, or those who
just need a friend. Taking classes outside your
major gives you the chance to expand your
horizions and learn about history, art, science,
digital arts or creative writing.
College is a time to learn about yourself, to meet
people who have had different life experiences
than you, and to have fun. For those that were
graduates of the class of 2001 , your four (or
maybe more) years at Stetson probably brought
you new friends, new relationships, new ideasj
and new experiences, and now the years ahead
will bring even more. For those that have fin-
ished their first years at Stetson, there is still
much more for college to bring.
Life is full of experiences, and each one is bound
to alter your perspective. i
