hange,  experience,  progress.  Each  yields  th 
other  but  it  seems  that  no  one  of  them  ca 
exist  alone. 

The  first  year  of  the  new  decade  brought' 
this  realization  to  the  students  and  faculty  at 
Florida  State  University.  As  semesters 
passed,  each  day  that  dawned  brought  something  to  adapt  to 
learn  from,  or  be  proud  of. 

We  found  ourselves  proud  to  "Chalk  One  Up"  for  unexpecte 
milestones:  the  academic  and  athletic  tribes  joined  the  Atlantic 
Coast  Conference,  the  university  was  chosen  over  M.I.T.  as  the 
location  for  the  National  High  Magnetic  Field  Laboratory,  head 
football  coach  Bobby  Bowden  reached  his  200th  career  victory 
and  the  Seminoles  were  the  victors  in  the  inaugural  Blockbuster 
Bowl  against  Penn  State  in  Miami. 

On  the  flip  side  of  glory,  we  approached  moments  of  remorse 
and  were  bound  to  chalk  up  the  negative  as  experience.  The 
autumn  season  brought  not  only  falling  leaves  but  descending 

spirits.  Flashbacks  of  the  Ted  Bundy  tragedies  haunted  us  as  we

rsity  of  Florida.  The  attitude  in  Tallahassee  was  that  of  sym- 

thy  and  fear. 

Mourning  also  took  place  in  the  spring  for  coach  Ed  Wil-

Experience  came  as  a  difficult  lesson  with  educational  budget 

ts  and  rising  tuition.  Worse  than  that  was  war.  Campus  re-

finitely  chalk  this  one  up  as  an  experience  to  remember. 

Progression  and  experience  could  not  occur  without  change.  A    ^

o  one  could  have  survived  any  other  way. 

The  college  life  style  filled  a  calendar  quicker  than  any 
other.  Work,  school  and  play  kept  Seminoles  busy  24 
hours  a  day. 

Many  students  held  jobs  to  support  their  academic  and 
extracurricular  endeavors. 
Even  so,  time  always  permitted  studying,  and  a  weekend  party  was  never 
hard  to  find. 

No  matter  what,  grades  were  made,  appointments  were  kept,  and  social 
events  abounded;  but  only  ONE  day  at  a  time.

The  1990  Homecoming  events  were  highlighted  by  the 
appearance  of  starting  football  player  at  the  annual  Pow 


Wow  (see  pi 2).  Head  coach  Bobby  Bowden  was  celebrated 
for  his  200th  career  victory  (see  p.26).  Bemie  Sliger  retired 
after  ten  years  of  presidency  (see  p.  1 8).  Students  became 
more  environmentally  aware  and  began  recycling  programs 
on  campus  (see  p.  3  2).

imc  after  time,   the 
■^urtain  has  been  lifted 

r'for  another  student's 

^^  »-^but  performance 
w^  Independence.  When 
students  set  foot  on  campus 
for  the  first  time,  many  of 
them  faced  situations  and 
emotions  that  they  had  put 
behind  them  years  earlier. 

Joe  Freshman  walked  into 
a  new  environment  without  a 
clue  as  to  how  the  system 
worked  or  where  he  should 
begin,  but  worse  than  that,  he 
had  no  one  walking  with  him. 
Of  course,  this  later  proved 
to  be  a  good  time  of  growth 
and  maturing,  but  that  was 
little  consolation  for  the 
young  freshman  in  the  midst 
of  rediscovering  the  awk- 
wardness he  felt  the  first  day 
of  grade  school. 

Several  students  arrived  as 
the  only  representative  from 
their  high  school,  where  they 
were  probably  part  of  a  clique 
of  friends  that  developed 
over  many  years.  As  college 
students,  not  only  did  they 
discover  the  freedom  from 
parents,  they  also  experi- 
enced "freedom"  from  the 
support  of  friends. 

Almost  immediately  after 
the  student's  arrival,  a  fas- 
cinating process  began.  Joe 
Freshman  found  himself  nat- 
urally attracted  to  particular 


activities,  groups,  or  organ- 
izations.This  process  contin- 
ued throughout  the  college 
years  and  provided  the  stu- 
dent with  lasting  relation- 
ships. 

Initially,  friends  were 
found  in  the  inevitable 
places:  residence  halls,  cafe- 
teria, and  classes.  "1  study 
with  friends  I've  met  in  class 
and  I've  found  that  we  often 
share  the  same  goals  and  in- 
terests," said  Armando 
Rodriguez.  Most  groups  of 
friends  have  more  in  com- 
mon than  just  an  academic 
interest,  but  that  is  often  re- 
sponsible for  starting  the  re- 
lationship. 

"As  a  junior  in  my  major, 
it  is  through  my  classes  and 
study  groups  that  I  meet  peo- 
ple who  I  spend  time  with 
outside  of  class, "added 
Rodriguez. 

The  Greek  system  provid- 
ed a  close-knit  group  of 
friends  for  all  involved.  To 
rush  alone  meant  to  meet 
new  people  and  once  in- 
volved with  the  sorority  or 
fraternity  of  choice,  more 
friendships  develop  and 
much  stronger  relationships 
form.  Kim  Coleman  found 
her  place  among  her  sorority 
sisters. 

"Kappa  Delta  has  been  my 
home  away  from  home  and 


E 


within  this  sorority  I  have 
had  the  opportunity  to  meet 
many  wonderful  individu- 
als," Coleman  said.  "It's 
sometimes  easy  to  get  lost  in 
the  crowd  at  a  large  univer- 
sity." 

Several  people  did  not  turn 
to  academic  or  social  groups 
when  searching  out  their 
place  in  the  university  sys- 
tem. They  found  their  needs 
met  by  a  religious  or  special 
interest  group. 

"The  crowd  I  hang  out 
with  I've  met  through  cam- 
pus ministries  and  through 
church,"  Brett  Clark  said.  "I 
find  the  time  I  spend  with  my 
friends  to  be  encouraging  and 
fun.  It  is  a  time  of  growth  and 
a  time  to  be  challenged  in 
areas  of  my  life." 

Though  originally  these 
groups  and  organizations 
simply  provided  the  student 
with  extracurricular  activi- 
ties, they  soon  they  became 
much  more  than  that. 

Eventually,  the  student  dis- 
covered that  most  of  his  free 
time  was  spent  with  the  peo- 
ple he  met  through  his  special 
interests  groups.  He  would 
also  call  his  group  members 
when  he  wanted  to  talk  about 
anything  -  even  those  con- 
cerns unrelated  to  their  or- 
ganization. 

Though  one  link  was 
strong  enough  to  bind  people 
together  within  a  group,  there 
was  something  deeper  and 
stronger  that  held  people  to- 
gether. As  a  result  of  the 
strong  ties  students  devel- 
oped, many  of  them  referred 
to  their  college  residence  as 
home  even  before  the  end  of 
their  freshman  year.

BLAME  IT 
ON  THE 


,-iiother  tradition  at 
the  University  came 
'^i'.-^'^iwith  Homecoming 
W^eKrm  early  November. 
Students  anxiously  awaited 
the  week's  events  as  sopho- 
more Suzanne  Vento  said, 
"I'm  really  looking  forward 
to  the  new  events  like  the  stu- 
dent social  and  the  carnival." 
Student  Government  con- 
tributed a  great  deal  to  in- 
crease the  number  of  activ- 
ities open  to  students. 

On  Monday  evening 
TROOP  performed  a  concert 
at  the  Moon.  Admission  was 
free  to  all  University  stu- 
dents, and  buses  were  pro- 
vided from  campus  at  no 
cost.  Two  performances  en- 
abled more  students  to  at- 
tend. 

An  all  new  skit  competi- 
tion was  held  on  Tuesday  at 
the  Late  Night  Library.  All 
Greek  homecoming  pairings, 
as  well  as  campus  organiza- 
tions, were  encouraged  to 
participate.  Each  skit  was  to 
be  based  on  the  theme 
"Seminole  Spirit  Across  the 
Land." 

Awards  were  given  for 
Most  Creative,  Alpha  Delta 
Pi  and  Alpha  Tau  Omega; 
Most  Crowd  Participation, 
Alpha  Delta  Pi  and  Alpha 
Tau  Omega;  and  Best  Props 
went  to  Delta  Delta  Delta 
and  Sigma  Phi  Epsilon.  The 
top  three  skits  were  named  to 
compete  again  at  Pow  Wow. 
Tri  Delta  and  Sig  Ep  with 
their  version  of  Little  Shop  of 
Denver;  Delta  Pi,  Sigma  Nu, 
and  Phi  Kappa  Psi  with  the 
Philadelphia  Patriotism  to 
the  Seminoles;  and  Kappa 
Delta,  Beta  Theta  Pi,  and  Sig- 
ma Chi  with  their  version  of 
"Bill  and  Ted's  Excellent  Ad- 
venture" were  all  among  the 
top  three  competitors  for  Fri- 


day's Pow  Wow. 

Student  Government  held 
a  student  social  on  Landis 
Green  Wednesday  with  free 
food  and  drinks.  Student  sen- 
ators and  cabinet  members 
were  there  to  speak  to  stu- 
dents about  their  concerns. 
This  opportunity  enabled 
students  to  meet  their  cam- 
pus leaders. 

As  for  the  Greeks,  Wednes- 
day night  brought  a  unique 
competition.  House  Decora- 
tions. Each  Greek  pairing 
was  given  a  small  budget  and 
asked  to  decorate  one  room 
in  the  fraternity's  house  to 
the  theme  of  their  city.  The 
first  place  winners  were  Al- 
pha Delta  Pi  and  Alpha  Tau 
Omega  with  a  room  decorat- 
ed with  Alaskan  ice  and  an- 
imals. After  all  the  houses 
were  judged,  each  pairing 
held  a  social  to  celebrate. 

A  carnival  was  another 
new  event  sponsored  by  Stu- 
dent Government.  Free  rides 
with  games  and  carnival  food 
were  provided  to  all  Univer- 
sity students.  It  was  a  huge 
success. 

"It  was  really  a  lot  of  fun, 
the  atmosphere  was  like  a 
real  carnival,  but  everything 
was  free,"  Allison  Collins 
said. 

As  alumni  began  arriving, 
everyone  eagerly  awaited  the 
Homecoming  parade  on  Fri- 
day afternoon.  The  rain, 
however,  put  a  damper  on  all 
the  excitement  as  threats  of 
cancellation  rang  out  around 
the  campus.  No  one  would 
give  up  after  weeks  of  prep- 
aration, so  as  students  and 
the  community  lined  up  with 
umbrellas  and  raincoats  the 
parade  went  on.  Past  Home- 
coming Queens  from  as  early 
as  the  1940's  drove  through 
the  streets  followed  by  com- 


munity and  campus  officials, 
the  Marching  Chiefs,  cheer- 
leaders, and  decorated  floats. 

The  floats  were  judged  ac- 
cording to  their  creative  ap- 
proach of  tying  in  "Seminole 
Spirit  Across  the  Land"  with 
their  individual  city  themes. 
Tri  Delta  and  Sigma  Phi  Ep- 
silon presented  the  ski  slopes 
of  Denver  stretching  across 
to  land  to  the  Wescott  build- 
ing and  received  third  place. 
Second  place  was  awarded  to 
Kappa  Alpha  Theta  and  Pi 
Kappa  Psi  for  their  giant 
movable  Mickey  Mouse.  Al- 
pha Delta  Pi  and  Alpha  Tau 
Omega  took  first  place  with 
their  Seminole  riding  on  a 
killer  whale. 

Friday  evening  brought  the 
annual  Pow  Wow  with  Bruce 
Homsby  and  the  Range,  and 
comedian  Richard  Jeni.  Sat- 
urday saw  the  long  awaited 
game  as  the  Seminoles  fought 
the  Cincinnati  Bearcats.

eathers  ruffled  as

Seminole  territory  for 
ual  Homecoming 
ow.  Though  the 
eats  of  rain  changed  the 
:ation  from  Doak 
mpbelll  stadium  to  the 
llahassee  Civic  Center,  the 
rit  of  the  Seminoles  could 
t  be  dampened.  A  crowd  of 
;r  7,000  people  began  to 
e  up  at  6:30  p.m.,  eagerly 
aiting  the  opening  of  the 
ors  at  7:00  p.m.  With  the 
inge  of  seating  to  general 
mission,  Seminoles  were 
sious  to  acquire  the  best 
Its  in  the  house. 
Fhe  show  opened  with  Phi

nity  on  campus,  singing

e  Masters  of  Ceremonies, 
rrad  Made  Good"  Davis 
lines  and  the  "Voice  of  the 


Seminoles"  Gene  Deckerhoff 
then  introduced  the  varsity 
cheerleaders  followed  by  the 
Golden  Girls.  Performing 
their  home  routine,  which 
won  first  place  at  camp  this 
summer,  the  Golden  Girls 
really  caught  the  eyes  of  the 
audience. 

"Their  performance  was 
awesome  as  always!  The  beat 
really  got  the  crowd  into  it," 
Scott  Feldman  commented 
about  the  Golden  Girls'  win- 
ning routine. 

Coach  Bobby  Bowden,  fol- 
lowed by  senior  starters,  was 
next  to  rouse  the  crowd. 
Coach  Bowden  pumped  the 
audience's  adrenalin  with  his 
plans  to  spear  the  Cincinnati 
Bearcats  on  Saturday. 

In  addition  to  the  tradi- 
tional schedule  of  events  was 
the  first  annual  skit  compe- 
tition. The  top  three  skits 
performed  earlier  in  the  week 
at  Skit  Night,  competed  at 
Pow  Wow  for  the  first  place 
trophy.  The  top  competitors 
were  Tri  Delta  and  Sigma  Ep- 
silon  with  the  city  of  Denver; 
Kappa  Delta,  Sigma  Chi,  and 
Beta  Theta  Pi  and  Delta  Sig- 
ma Theta  with  Hollywood; 
and  Delta  Gamma,  Sigma  Nu 
and  Phi  Kappa  Psi  with  Phil- 
adelphia. 

The  winning  skit  was  Tri 
Delta  and  Sig  Ep's  medley 
that  incorporated  their  city 
with  the  homecoming  theme. 

Michelle  Estlund  described 
her  opinion  of  the  their  skit, 
"It  was  so  professional.  The 
music  was  great,  the  props 
were  so  unique,  it  was  just 
remarkable!"  The  overall 
winners  for  Homecoming 


week  were  also  announced 
with  Alpha  Delta  Pi  and  Al- 
pha Tau  Omega  stealing  first 
place  hands  down.  Second 
place  went  to  Kappa  Alpha 
Theta  and  Pi  Kappa  Phi  and 
third  to  Lambda  Chi  Alpha, 
Pi  Beta  Phi,  Zeta  Phi  Beta 
and  Alpha  Phi  Omega.  Fol- 
lowing the  competition  was 
the  presentation  of  the 
Homecoming  court.  Special 
guest  Clara  Moffit  Howell, 
the  first  Homecoming  Queen 
from  1948,  aided  in  the  pres- 
entation. After  Phil  Barco  of 
Alumni  Affairs  presented  the 
five  young  women  and  five 
young  men  on  the  court,  he 
proudly  announced  Lilie  Ale- 
xandre as  Princess  and  Rob 
Boos  as  Chief. 

Comedian  Richard  Jeni 
then  enthusiastically  took 
over  the  program.  Jeni,  a 
much  sought  after  headliner 
in  clubs  around  the  country, 
was  recently  honored  as 
"Best  Club  Comedian"  in  the 
country  by  several  hundred 


of  his  peers  in  a  survey  taken 
by  Comedy  USA  Magazine. 
Jeni  made  appearances 
around  the  country  at  several 
other  college  concerts. 

Bruce  Hornsby  and  The 
Range  quickly  followed  Jeni 
and  took  the  crowd  by  sur- 
prise playing  songs  entitled 
"Stander  on  the  Mountain," 
"Across  the  River"  and  his 
title  song  from  his  current  al- 
bum "A  Night  on  the  Town." 
The  audience  went  wild  when 
he  took  requests  and  played 
"The  Way  It  Is." 

Stacey  Wagner  comment- 
ed, "I  didn't  know  he  had 
that  many  songs  out.  His  mu- 
sic was  really  great!  I  loved 
him."

0  be  selected  as  a 
l-ffJmember  of  the  home- 
if  coming  court  was  not 
j^lT^^ularity  contest.  The 
seleenon  process  is  set  up  in 
such  a  way  to  distinguish 
which  candidates  represented 
the  University  academically 
and  socially  to  exemplify  the 
true  Seminole  spirit.  The 
homecoming  court  contribut- 
ed to  upholding  this  lasting 
tradition  of  outstanding  stu- 
dents. 

The  homecoming  princess 
Lilie  Alexandre,  a  senior 
marketing  major  is  a  member 
of  Pi  Beta  Phi  sorority,  Lady 
Scalphunters,  and  the  Garnet 
and  Gold  Girls.  Alexandre 
described  Florida  State  as  a 
place  of  "pride,"  and  decided 
to  apply  for  homecoming 
princess  simply  because  "I 
love  FSU." 

Homecoming  chief  Rob 
Boos,  a  senior  marketing  ma- 
jor was  a  member  of  Kappa 
Alpha  Order,  Order  of  Ome- 
ga, Gold  Key,  Scalphunters, 
and  the  Student  Alumni 
Foundation.  Looking  back  at 
his  Seminole  experience, 
Boos  felt  his  most  significant 
contribution  was  his 
"leadership  skills  and  moti- 
vational ability  to  make  a  dif- 
ference in  every  activity  he 
was  involved  in." 

Jennifer  Shelton  and  Mi- 
chael D.  Leeks  were  the  first 
runners-up.  Shelton  was  a 
senior  business  major,  a 
member  of  Alpha  Delta  Pi 
sorority,  Seminole  Ambassa- 
dors, Omicron  Delta  Kappa, 
Golden  Key  and  the  Garnet 
and  Gold  girls.  Shelton  said 
that  her  "experience  has  been 
very  positive,  enriching,  and 
rewarding"  during  her  four 
years  here.  One  of  her  most 
memorable  moments  was 
working  with  Omega  Psi  Phi 
on  a  community  project. 

Leeks,  a  senior  electrical 
engineering  major,  was  a 


member  of  Alpha  Phi  Alpha 
fraternity.  Order  of  Omega, 
Sigma  Chi  Iota,  Omicron 
Delta  Kappa,  and  served  as 
the  Pangreek  council  presi- 
dent. 

Leeks  shared  his  belief 
with  other  loyal  Seminole 
fans  that  "Florida  State  is 
one  of  the  greatest  universi- 
ties in  the  world."  He  also 
said  it  was  a  place  with 
"plenty  of  opportunities"  to 
get  involved  in  different  or- 
ganizations. 

"I  was  fortunate,"  Leeks 
said,  "Everything  I  set  out  to 
do,  I  have  done". 

Other  members  of  the 
homecoming  court  included 
Heather  Allen,  Jennifer  Pier- 


tegrate  with  others."  She  said 
that  aside  from  academics, 
the  thing  she  will  take  with 
her  is  "a  lot  of  pride  in  the 
school  and  great  memories." 

Pierson,  a  senior  public  re- 
lations major,  was  a  member 
of  Delta  Delta  Delta  sorority. 
Gold  Key,  Order  of  Omega, 
and  Lady  Scalphunters.  Pier- 
son  decided  to  apply  for  the 
homecoming  position  be- 
cause "I  have  a  deep  root  of 
pride  in  our  school,  and 
wanted  to  give  something 
back  because  it  has  given  me 
so  much."  She  was  ecstatic 
when  she  found  out  she  was 
selected,  and  felt  it  was  a  very 
"rewarding  experience."

Allen,  a  senior  business 
management  major,  was  a 
member  of  Alpha  Gamma 
Delta  sorority.  Alpha  Kappa 
Psi,  Phi  Kappa  Phi,  Mortar 
Board,  and  the  Lady 
Scalphunters.  Allen  enjoyed 
"being  a  part  of  the  tradition 
and  helping  others  get  in- 


Key,  Seminole  Ambassadors, 
and  the  Garnet  and  Gold 
Girls.  One  of  her  greatest 
contributions  to  the  univer- 
sity was  orientating  students. 
She  said  she  was  glad  to 
"Have  a  hand  in  molding 
new  students  and  letting 
them  know  the  opportunities 
that  lie  ahead  for  them." 


volved  to  become  a  part  of     Stiles  expresses  her  appreci- 
the  FSU  community  and  in-     ation  to  "faculty,  friends,  stu- 


dents and  mostly  to  my  fam- 
ily, I  couldn't  have  done  it 
without  you". 

McNeill,  a  senior  business 
communications  major,  felt 
the  University  had  that 
"down  home  feeling  with 
great  tradition  and  spirit." 

"It  is  a  large  university,  but 
the  country  brings  in  a  lot  of 
down  to  earth  people,"  he 
said.  Some  of  his  greatest 
memories  are  "cheering  at 
the  National  Championship 
and  my  initiation  to  my  fra- 
ternity." McNeill  is  the  for- 
mer cheerleading  captain, 
president  of  Sigma  Chi,  a 
member  of  Scalphunters,  and 
interfratemity  council. 

Pakuris,  a  senior  commu- 
nication and  sociology  major, 
said  that  "Florida  State  is  a 
home  away  from  home,  and 
the  individuality  and  close- 
ness among  the  people  feels 
like  home."  Pakuris  enjoyed 
"helping  other  students  ad- 
just to  the  FSU  lifestyle 
through  being  an  orientation 
leader  and  a  resident  assis- 
tant". Looking  back  at  his  ex- 
perience, he  said  he  has  done 
everything  he  wanted  to,  and 
that  "this  has  been  the  best 
four  years  of  my  life." 

Vredenburg,  a  senior  polit- 
ical science  major,  is  a  mem- 
ber of  Alpha  Tau  Omega, 
Gold  Key,  Order  of  Omega, 
Scalphunters  and  the  inter- 
fratemity council.  After  his 
experience  here,  he  said  that 
he  felt  "like  a  new  man  be- 
cause Florida  State  has  such  a 
broad  range  of  culture  and 
diversity,  it  teaches  you  more 
than  book  knowledge,  but 
how  to  deal  with  everyone." 
Vredenburg  gratefully  ex- 
pressed a  "thank  you  to 
everyone  for  supporting  me 
and  being  there  when  I  need- 
ed you."

Tailgating 

Tradition 

Chickens  were  barbecued,  hamburgers  grilled,  weinies  roasted, 
beer  chilled  and  potato  chips  dipped  in  honor  of  the  forthcoming 
game.  An  air  of  victory  and  high  spirits  surrounded  the  well  wishers. 
The  Intramural  Fields,  lots  behind  Tully  Gym,  the  Haskin  Circus 
Complex  and  any  other  available  spaces  along  Chieftain  Way  were  the 
sites  where  alumni  and  students  took  up  temporary  residency. 

Tailgating  parties  have  become  a  tradition  for  all  Seminole  fans, 
young  and  old.  It  was  a  time  for  alumni  to  gather  and  celebrate 
football  mania.  The  most  dedicated  tailgaters  arrived  as  early  as  48 
hours  before  a  home  game.  With  their  vans,  cars,  and  motor  homes 
filled  with  food,  alcohol  and  family,  they  partied  all  afternoon  await- 
ing kickoff  time. 

Diehard  alumni  traveled  from  all  over  Florida  and  Georgia  to 
partake  in  these  parties.  Lois  Post,  an  alumnae  from  the  College  of 
Business,  drove  from  Atlanta  for  almost  every  home  game  to  tailgate. 
"It's  a  great  way  to  get  my  family  excited  about  the  game.  There's 
something  special  about  the  way  the  fans  show  their  support.  I  believe 
it  shows  through  the  team's  success.  It's  a  long,  five  hour  drive,  but  it's 
worth  it." 

Wayne  and  Marsha  Tate,  active  boosters  for  the  past  fourteen  years, 
traveled  from  West  Palm  Beach  before  setting  up  permanent  res- 
idency in  Tallahassee.  Wayne  Tate  said,  "I  come  here  every  Saturday 
before  a  game,  rain  or  shine.  We've  had  this  particular  spot  (across 
from  Tully  Gym  on  Chieftian  Way)  for  ten  years.  It's  the  positive 
atmosphere  and  winning  team  which  makes  us  come  back  for  more." 

Most  tailgaters  prided  themselves  in  showing  hospitality  towards 
opposing  team's  fans.  The  locals  invited  them  to  have  a  drink  or 
something  to  eat.  "We  always  invite  people  from  the  opposing  team  to 
join  in  our  festivities.  It's  a  gesture  of  kindness,"  said  alumni  D.J. 
Wright. 

Catie  McRae,  an  alumnae  from  the  College  of  Communications, 
said  there  was  an  ulterior  motive  for  their  hospitable  treatment,  "We 
just  want  to  make  them  feel  better  about  losing."

ROYAL 


TRIBE 
RETURNS 


'ears  after  graduation, 
^:^5"Seminole  Royalty" 

_^ continued  to  spread 

^^^g^)\e  Spirit  Across  the 
hMd.  Fortunately,  the  sec- 
ond ten  year  reunion  helped 
to  unite  the  royalty  for  the 
homecoming  festivities. 

The  remarkable  idea  of  re- 
uniting "Seminole  Royalty" 
was  started  by  Susan  Bates 
Turner,  the  1976  homecom- 
ing princess.  Turner  said  she 
"wanted  to  recognize  the  first 
queen  Clara  Moffit  MacKay, 
and  the  other  FSU  Royalty 
members,"  by  inviting  them 
back  to  share  the  memories 
with  other  former  homecom- 
ing queens,  princesses,  and 
chiefs.  With  the  support  of 
Alumni  Affairs,  she  was  able 
to  pull  off  the  first  royalty 
reunion  in  1980,  thus 
"perpetuating  a  tradition." 

The  1975  Homecoming 
Prince  and  the  current  asso- 
ciate director  of  Alumni  Af- 
fairs Phil  Barco  and  Julie 
Flemming,  the  reunion  chair- 
man, were  the  key  people  in 
coordinating  the  second  re- 
union with  help  from  Alumni 
Affairs  and  the  Student 
Alumni  Foundation.  Flem- 
ming said  she  felt  "very  for- 
tunate to  have  been  here  dur- 
ing the  time  of  the  reunion, 
and  able  to  work  so  close 
with  it.  Words  could  not  de- 
scribe it;  it  was  a  wonderful 
experience." 

Out  of  the  56  Royalty 
members,  41  returned  to 
watch  the  crowning  of  the 
new  princess  and  chief,  Lilie 
Alexandre  and  Rob  Boos. 
Among  those  was  the  first, 
1948,  Homecoming  Queen 
Clara  Moffit  MacKay. 
MacKay  had  the  honor  of 
crowning  Alexandre  and 
Boos  with  their  Indian  head- 


dresses at  the  annual  Pow- 
wow held  in  the  Leon  County 
Civic  Center.  MacKay  took  a 
moment  to  remember  her 
crowning  and  said,  "I  was 
happy  then,  but  every  year  it 
means  so  much  more." 

The  Royalty  members  par- 
ticipated in  homecoming  ac- 
tivities planned  by  the  Stu- 
dent Alumni  Foundation, 
and  the  homecoming  com- 
mittees. Many  of  them  rode 
in  the  homecoming  parade, 
despite  the  rain.  They  were 
also  present  at  the  annual 
"Grads  Made  Good"  break- 
fast in  the  Oglesby  Union 
Ballroom.  The  ceremony  was 
held  to  honor  graduates  who 
have  made  special  achieve- 
ments in  their  chosen  careers. 
The  award  was  presented  by 
Omicron  Delta  Kappa,  a  na- 
tional collegiate  leadership 
society.  The  three  new 
honorees  were  Clyda  S.  Rent, 
Davis  Gaines  and  Isabel  W. 
Rodgers. 

Rent,  the  1963  homecom- 
ing queen,  is  currently  the 
president  of  the  Mississippi 
University  for  Women  and  is 
the  first  female  to  be  pres- 
ident of  a  public  educational 
institution  in  Mississippi. 
She  received  her  bachelors 
degree  in  1964,  her  masters 
in  1966,  and  her  doctorate 
degree  in  1968,  all  at  FSU  in 
Sociology. 

Gaines,  a  musical  theater 
actor,  was  honored  for  his 
wonderful  dramatic  perfor- 
mances. His  most  successful 
starring  role  was  in  the 
Broadway  hit  "The  Phantom 
of  the  Opera."  One  of  his 
most  recent  successes  was  a 
new  recording  of  Jerome 
Kerns  1924  musical  "Sitting 
Pretty."  Gaines,  a  former 
FSU  cheerleader,  graduated 


cum  laude  in  1976  with  a 
bachelor  degree  in  theater. 
He  said  he  was  "thrilled  to  be 
back  in  an  atmosphere  full  of 
love,  warmth,  and  security," 
and  was  glad  he  was  able  to 
give  something  back  to  the 
university. 

Rodgers  graduated  in  1945 
from  Florida  State  College 
for  Women  before  it  became 
a  co-ed  school.  She  earned  a 
bachelor  degree  in  English 
Literature,  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa 
key,  a  masters  degree  in  po- 
litical science  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Virginia,  a  masters 
degree  in  religion  education 
from  the  Presbyterian  School 
of  Christian  Education  and  a 
doctorate  in  theology  and 
ethics  from  Duke  University. 
Rodgers  is  a  professor  of  ap- 
plied Christianity  at  Virgin- 
ia's Presbyterian  School  of 
Christian  Education  and  the 
author  of  five  study  books  for 
Presbyterians.  She  is  listed  in 
Who's  Who  in  America,  Out- 
standing Educators,  Who's 
Who  in  American  Religion, 
Personalities  of  the  South, 
and  the  International  Direc- 
tory of  Scholars. 

Another  distinguished 
guest  was  Vincent  Morris 
Williams.  Williams  plays  the 
part  of  Hampton  on  the 
oldest  running  soap  opera, 
"The  Guiding  Light."  Wil- 
liams auditioned  for  a  part  in 
the  soap  opera,  and  received 
a  three  year  contract  with 
CBS,  which  launched  his  ca- 
reer. "Being  a  graduate  from 
Florida  State  contributed  to 
being  the  best  I  can  be.  You 
are  really  able  to  grow  in  any 
direction  you  choose  here," 
he  said.

SLIGER  RETIRES 


lood  of  emotions 
iwept  across  the 
j^ampus  as  the  news 
'he  weight  of  one 
'ciecision  impacted  the 
lives  of  thousands  of  people. 
Bernard  F.  Sliger,  who  had 
become  a  legend  for  bringing 
the  institution  to  its  highest 
level  of  achievements,  was 
saying  good-bye.  At  age  66, 
the  tenth  president  of  the  uni- 
versity announced  his  retire- 
ment. 

"It's  time  for  someone  else 
to  have  the  joy  and  the  re- 
sponsibility of  the  office," 
said  the  teary-eyed  Sliger. 

Elected  president  on  Feb- 
ruary 7,  1977,  "Bemie,"  as 
the  students  respectfully 
called  him,  led  the  university 
through  many  ups  and 
downs.  His  accomplishments 
included  creating  tradition 
with  the  ever  popular  ice 
cream  social,  which  Sliger 
first  hosted  in  1977. 

When  Sliger  was  in  office, 
enrollment  grew  by  more 
than  one  third,  an  engineer- 
ing college  was  added,  two 
world  class  super  computers 
were  acquired,  27  scholar 
chairs  have  been  established 
or  are  in  various  stages  of 
completion,  and  the  univer- 
sity was  selected  by  the  Na- 
tional Science  Foundation  as 
the  site  for  the  new  National 
High  Magnetic  Field 
Labratory. 

As  his  triumphant  closing 
act,  Sliger  led  the  athletic  de- 
partment to  a  13  million  dol- 
lar budget,  and  in  September 
of  1 990,  the  Seminoles  joined 
the  Atlactic  Coast  Confer- 
ence. 

The  fifteen  years  Sliger 
contributed  will  be  remem- 
bered as  a  time  of  exciting 
accomplishment. 

"He  is  not  only  one  of  the 
most  beloved  presidents  in 
the  state  uniersity  system, 
but  a  remarkably  strong  lead- 
er," said  Joan  Ruffier,  a 
member  of  the  Board  of  Re- 
gents 


Admiring  students  and  fac- 
ulty agree  that  Sliger's  great- 
est qualities  include  his  easy 
going  manner,  his  wonderful 
sense  of  humor,  and  his  com- 
passsion  for  the  university 
and  the  people  attending  it. 

"He  is  more  accesible  at 
times  than  many  people  with- 
in my  own  department,  and 
it's  great  to  be  able  to  start  at 
the  top  if  I  have  a  specific 
problem,"  said  Charles  Mar- 
relli.  Student  Senate  Presi- 
dent Pro  Tempore. 

According  to  Sliger,  his 
greatest  accomplishment  in- 
volved the  faculty  and  stu- 
dents. He  cited  the  higher 
quality  and  the  diversity  of 
the  student  body  and  faculty 
in  recent  years,  but  it  is  the 
cooperation  between  the  two 
of  which  he  is  most  proud. 

"It  has  been  my  privilege 
and  pleasure  to  serve  as  pres- 
ident of  FSU.  I  have  enjoyed 
the  friendship  and  support  of 
the  university  family  and  its 
many  constituencies,"  said 
Sliger. 

His  charisma  and  energy 
have  created  a  strong  bond 
between  him  and  the  student 
body.  "It's  nice  to  know  that 
somebody  who  loves  the  uni- 
versity, and  is  willing  to  give 
his  energies  in  order  to  ad- 
vance the  state  system,  is  in 
charge,"  senior  Will  Mulligan 
said,  "We  will  all  miss  him." 

Indeed,  the  entire  univer- 
isty  will  feel  the  absence  of 
our  president  and  friend.  His 
honesty,  shown  by  his  expres- 
siveness and  concern  is  gen- 
uine and  rare.  Replacement 
does  not  seem  possible. 

"How  could  anyone  re- 
place good  ol'  Bemie?"  said 
graduate  student  Kyle  Colle. 
"It  will  take  the  university 
years  before  finding  someone 
with  spunk  like  Bemie. 

That  someone  else  will 
most  likely  be  a  professor,  ac- 
cording to  Sliger.  Throughout 
the  year,  various  applicants 
were  interviewed  for  the 
presidential   position.   The 


ZULMA  CRESPO 

Students  agree  that  whoever 
is  selected  will  have  their 
work  cut  out  for  them.  It  is 
not  too  difficult  to  fill  Sliger's 
position,  but  no  one  could 
take  his  place  in  the  hearts  of 
the  students  and  faculty. 
Sliger  plans  to  return  to 


teach  economics  after  tak- 
ing a  year  off  to  do  a  little 
fishing  with  his  wife,  Gret- 
ta,  in  their  summer  home 
in  Trout  Creek,  Michigan.

opinions  and  memories,

his  interest  in  them.

Last 

Weekend 
at  Bernie's 

Classic  tunes  greeted  parents,  faculty,  and  students  from  the 
Sligers'  backyard  as  they  made  their  way  up  his  circular  drive  for 
the  last  of  one  of  FSU's  greatest  traditions,  the  Annual  President's  ice 
cream  social.  Since  his  first  years  as  president,  Bernard  F.  Sliger  has 
treated  his  students  to  free  ice  cream  and  a  day  to  get  to  know  their 
president  while  expressing  their  thoughts  and  concerns. 

"The  whole  reason  I  started  having  these  socials  was  to  meet  my 
students  and  hear  their  ideas.  I  feel  it's  very  important  because  I 
didn't  have  a  chance  to  do  it  when  I  was  in  school." 

Students  were  filled  with  mixed  emotions  when  they  heard  the  news 
of  Bernie's  retirement. 

"When  I  heard  he  was  leaving  it  made  me  sad.  I  don't  think  they'll 
ever  find  someone  to  completely  fill  his  shoes,"  stated  sophomore 
Wendy  Lincks. 

Jeff  Rosen,  a  junior  math  major,  summed  it  all  up,"President  Sliger 
reminds  me  of  Papa  Smurf,  and  I  just  can't  imagine  the  Smurfs 
without  their  Papa."

new  voice  was  heard

Sept.  of  1987  —

became  V89-"The  Voice." 
Though  the  station  was  not 
the  first  at  the  university,  it 
was  the  only  radio  station  on 
campus.  V89's  main  goal  was 
to  serve  as  a  musical  alter- 
native for  listeners.  During 
its  first  year,  V89  played 
mainly  rock  music.  But  as 
people's  music  needs 
changed,  so  did  the  station's 
format.  Alternative  music  be- 
came the  focus  of  the  station 
with  an  emphasis  on  new  re- 
leases. Special  programming 
was  created  for  other  musical 
tastes  —  such  as  the  four 
hour  metal  show  hosted  by 
"The  Vampire"  a.k.a.  Spen- 
cer Kuvin  on  Wednesdays, 
"The  Time  Machine"  classic 
rock  show  on  Saturday  morn- 
ings and  the  local  music  show 
that  ran  for  two  hours  on 
Monday  nights. 

Though  funded  by  the  Stu- 
dent Government  Associa- 
tion, V89  is  "apolitical  —  we 
only  play  music"  Program 
Director  Chris  White  said. 
V89  is  public  service 
oriented,  it  educates  the  stu- 
dents in  the  radio  commu- 
nications field. 

Some  of  V89's  staff  have 
gone  on  to  work  with  such 
media  giants  as  CNN  and  ES- 
PN. Two  "workshops"  were 
open  to  students.  The  Radio 
Workshop  was  avaliable  for 
up  to  three  credit  hours, 
which  equals  nine  working 
hours  and  was  a  S/U  grade. 
The  Advanced  Radio  Work- 
shop, known  as  Practicum 
was  open  to  department 
heads  only.  It  served  as  an 
intensive  study  of  the  work- 
ing of  a  radio  station.  There 
were  also  many  volunteer  po- 
sitions on  the  staff-which 
numbered  close  to  100  stu- 
dents. 

"It  is  important  for  Talla- 


hassee to  recognize  V89  is  a 
real  radio  station  trying  to 
make  a  difference  and  not  a 
joke  or  some  fly  by-night  op- 
eration," White  said. 

V89  was  operated  by  stu- 
dents but  it  was  also  a  pro- 
fessional and  organized  work 
place.  Using  the  FCC  regual- 
tions  as  guidelines,  the  sta- 
tion censored  itself  and  the 
music  it  played.  Like  other 
radio  stations,  it  received  free 
promotional  copies  of  the 
newest  music.  The  station 
also  received  copies  of  music 
by  local  bands. 

Since  1989,  V89's  listening 
precentage  grew  from  2.2 
percent  to  6.2  percent.  This 
jump  showed  a  drastic  in- 
crease in  audience  and  pro- 
gramming effectiveness. 

Among  V89's  goals  were 
upgrading  their  transmission 
power,  getting  more  involved 
in  the  local  music  scene  and 
finding  a  niche  in  the  radio 
jungle.  During  the  spring  se- 
mester, the  station  was  oc- 
cupied with  geological  and 
environmental  studies  to  de- 
termine the  effects  of  the 
boosted  power  on  the  sur- 
rounding area.  The  goal  was 
to  have  their  power  boosted 
to  3000  watts,  up  from  300 
watts. 

Regarding  the  local  music 
scene,  V89  hoped  to  build  a 
rapport  with  both  communi- 
ty bands  and  various  record 
companies  and  hoped  to  help 
some  of  the  bands  get  record 
contracts.  The  search  for  a 
niche  in  the  radion  jungle  has 
existed  since  V89  first  came 
on  the  air.  It  is  a  search  for  an 
audience  and  respect  that  is 
coming  closer  and  closer  to 
an  end. 

Chris  Dorsey  a.k.a.  "Ben 
the  Rat"  and  "Rattus  Rat- 
tus,"  said,  "I  could  DJ  even  if 
there  were  only  two  listeners 
out  there."

id  you  ever  get  the 
munchies  between 
class  only  to  realize 
that  you  had  no  cash,  you  left 
your  check  book  at  home  and 
the  only  ATM  machine  that 
takes  your  card  is  out  of  or- 
der? (Which  was  okay,  be- 
cause it  would  have  taken 
you  about  six  hours,  waiting 
to  get  to  the  machine  and  by 
that  time  you'd  have  missed 
your  next  class.)  This  fall, 
students  received  a  reprieve 
from  the  "cash-crunch"  with 
the  development  of  the  Sem- 
inole Access  Program.  The 
program,  designed  by  Ed 
Gonzales  and  Bill  Norwood 
provided  a  number  of  new 
conveniences  described  by 
Gonzales  as,  "a  portfolio  of 
services." 

Approximately  500  new 
students  received  their  Ac- 
cess card  during  orientation. 
Resembling  the  appearance 
of  a  credit  card,  the  Access 
card  runs  a  declining  debit 
balance  system.  Students 
started  their  account  by  de- 
positing a  minimum  balance 
of  $100  and  added  to  it  as 
needed.  Students  then  used 
the  card  to  purchase  a  variety 
of  goods  and  services  around 
campus. 

"It's  just  like  a  credit  card, 
only  better.  There  are  so 
many  different  ways  you  can 
use  it,"  said  freshman  Toby 
Siebnik.  The  card  could  be 
used  at  Bill's  Bookstore,  the 
Athletic  Ticket  Office,  the 
Comer  Grocery  Store,  The 
University  Bookstore,  Park- 
ing Services,  The  Union 
Computer  Store,  The  Club 
Downunder,  The  Trading 
Post,  Wild  Pizza,  Golden 
Key  Restraunt,  and  the  Uni- 
versity Meal  Plan. 

The  card  was  also  used  to 
provide  easier  payment  for 


long  distance  phone  service, 
cable  television,  voice  mail, 
and  call  waiting  to  students 
living  on  campus. 

Card  holder  Jennifer 
Bucher  said,  "For  some  peo- 
ple, the  program  is  good  be- 
cause money  is  automatically 
deducted  from  your  account 
once  a  purchase  has  been 
made.  However  they  haven't 
worked  out  the  "bugs"  in  the 
system  yet." 

Some  complications  result- 
ed from  the  two  complex 
computer  systems  that  in- 
terfaced with  the  Office  of 
Telecommunications  and  the 
Seminole  Access  Office. 
However,  Marcia  Morris, 
business  manager  of  financial 
operations  in  the  Office  of 
Telecommunications  hoped 
that  the  system  would  be 
working  perfectly  by  next 
fall.  "We  are  making  prog- 
ress," she  said,  "Things  are 
running  smoothly  now." 

During  the  spring  semester 
a  new  service  was  added  to 
the  card,  fee  payment.  By 
simply  filling  out  a  form  in- 
dicating the  number  of  hours 
and  card  number,  fees  could 
be  charged  directly  to  stu- 
dents' Access  accounts, 
avoiding  long  fee  payment 
lines. 

Organizers  of  the  program 
hoped  to  extend  it  in  the  fall 
of  1991  to  include  all  stu- 
dents. They  also  hoped  to 
combine  the  student  ID  card, 
Access  card,  and  meal  plan 
all  into  one.  The  new  card 
would  include  a  picture  and 
or  non-visible  ultra-violet  bar 
code.  All  information  on  the 
card  would  be  stored  in  a 
computer's  hard  disk.

usic  has  the  power 
to  affect  the  hu- 
man soul.  Many 
students  felt  the 
power  of  music-whether  they 
were  remembering  fun  times, 
feeling  alone,  or  just  mel- 
lowed out,  music  affected 
them.  Local  bands  were  a 
part  of  the  music  in  student's 
lives.  No  matter  what  type  of 
music  they  played,  from  Rap 
to  Reggae  or  from  Heavy 
Metal  to  Hardcore  Progres- 
sive, these  bands  touched 
people  with  their  lyrics  and 
melodies. 

The  members  of  these 
bands  had  varying  back- 
grounds. One  band  might 
have  contained  an  interna- 
tional affairs  major,  a  busi- 
ness major,  a  music  major, 
and  a  theater  major.  These 
varying  backgrounds,  rather 
than  detracting  from  the 
band,  made  it  an  interesting 
whole. 

Although  the  members  en- 
joyed the  experience  of  play- 
ing for  themselves,  they  en- 
joyed the  response  they  of  the 
audience  just  as  much.  Pat- 
rick Miller,  of  Innocent 
Splendor,  felt  that  "if  I  can 
inspire  music  in  others  by 
playing  in  a  band,  then  that  is 
enough." 

It  was  difficult  to  start  a 
band  anywhere.  In  Tallahas- 


see, the  place  most  for  most 
bands  to  begin  was  The  Club 
Downunder.  Smack  Leveau 
got  its  first  taste  of  public 
performance  when  they 
played  at  The  Downunder  at 
the  beginning  of  the  year. 
From  that  point  many  bands 
moved  on  to  play  at  Grand 
Finale,  Bullwinkle's,  Koko- 
mo's.  The  Warehouse  and 
The  Late  Night  Library. 

The  reason  that  the  bands 
played  was  explained  by  the 
lead  singer  of  Smack  Leveau, 
Suzanne  Sexton.  She  said 
that,  "all  of  us  have  strong 
feelings  for  music  and  wish  to 
extend  it  beyond  ourselves  to 
others."  The  main  motive 
most  certainly  wasn't  to 
make  money.  Usually  local 
bands  made  enough  money 
to  cover  their  expenses,  such 
as  equipment  and  fees. 

Playing  in  a  band  was  def- 
initely not  an  "all  play  and  no 
work"  situation.  These  local 
bands  were  mostly  made  up 
of  students  "or  soon  to  be 
returning  students,"  as  some 
members  of  The  Shatter  Posts 
contended.  Long  hours  of 
practice  were  squeezed  be- 
tween work  and  school. 

The  audience  appreciated 
the  efforts  of  these  bands- 
most  of  the  time.  Jennifer 
Reid,  a  freshman,  felt  that 
"the  bands  seem  to  have  a 


hard  driving  force  behind 
them  that  generates  a  great 
atmosphere  for  their  perfor- 
mances." As  the  audience  lis- 
tened, tapped,  and  danced  to 
the  music  on  the  stage,  they 
felt  "somehow  a  part  of  the 
music  and  a  part  of  everyone 
in  the  room,"  freshman 
Michelle  Petrin  said. 

For  the  bands,  the  energy 
and  time  spent  was  all  worth 
it.  During  the  brief  time  they 
are  on  stage,  they  were  able  to 
share  one  of  the  most  impor- 
tant influences  in  their  lives 
with  hundreds  of  people. 
69th  Street  bassist,  Hugo 
Rodriguez,  said  "it's  fun  be- 
cause it  gives  you  a  great 
rush,  but  it  is  a  lot  of  work." 

Local  bands  have  a  lot  to 
express  to  the  students. 
Whether  it's  through  heavy- 
thrashing-throbbing  tunes  or 
folky  melodies  that  stir  the 
emotions  of  the  audience,  the 
bands  touch  them  inside  in 
the  way  only  music  can.

hen  the  Universi- 
ty hired  Robert 
Cleckler  Bowden 
^""Jj'^i^  football  coach  in 
19^15;  The  school  was  hoping 
to  breathe  new  life  into  a  dor- 
mant football  program.  Little 
did  they  know  that  fourteen 
years  later  Bowden  would 
turn  the  program  into  a  pe- 
rennial national  title  con- 
tender and  take  his  place 
among  the  game's  greatest 
coaches  with  his  200th  career 
victory. 

With  a  42-3  victory  over 
Louisiana  State  on  October 
27,  Bowden  became  only  one 
of  22  coaches  in  college  foot- 
ball history  to  win  as  many  as 
200  games.  For  Bowden, 
completing  that  200th  win 
was  probably  more  difficult 
than  succeeding  in  the  pre- 
vious 199  games.  The  semi- 
noles  dropped  back-to-back 
road  games  at  Miami  and  Au- 
burn in  his  first  two  attempts 
at  this  career  high. 

'Tt  doesn't  seem  like  a 
milestone  to  me  when  there's 
a  guy  out  there  (Eddie  Rob- 
inson of  Grambling  Univer- 
sity) with  more  than  350 
wins,  so  it  doesn't  mean 
much,"  said  Bowden  after 
the  triumph. 

Victory  number  200  came 
in  the  277th  game  of  a  25 
year  career  as  a  head  football 
at  three  universities; 
Samford,  West  Virginia,  and 
Florida  State. 

For  most  college  football 
coaches,  reaching  this  goal 
would  be  something  to  savor. 


Most  expected  to  see  a  soak- 
ing wet  victor  commemorat- 
ing his  achievement  with  a 
victory  ride  on  his  team's 
shoulders  to  the  fifty  yard 
line.  For  Bowden,  the  victory 
ride  ended  only  seconds  after 
the  games  final  play.  Kirk 
Carruthers  chased  L.S.U. 
Quarterback,  Jesse  Daigle, 
out  of  bounds  on  the  game's 
last  play,  and  after  a  ques- 
tionable hit,  a  five-minute 
free-for-all  began,  souring 
what  could  have  been  a  mem- 
orable time  in  Bowden's  ca- 
reer. 

"I  don't  know  what  hap- 
pened, but  I  know  it 
shouldn't  have,"  said  Edgar 
Bennett. 

Not  even  the  senseless 
scuffle  could  darken  what  has 
been  a  bright  career  for  the 
tribe's  all-time  winningest 
coach. 

He  started  his  coaching  ca- 
reer in  1959  at  Samford  Uni- 
versity, in  his  hometown  of 
Birmingham,  Alabama.  His 
first  five  wins,  all  shutout  vic- 
tories, were  a  telling-tale  of 
things  to  come. 

With  nine  victories  in  thir- 
teen bowl  games,  including  a 
8-2-1  record  at  FSU, 
Bowden's  73  percent  winning 
average  ranks  as  college  foot- 
ball's all-time  best.  He  joined 
a  very  prestigious  list  of  suc- 
cessful coaches.  Only  Paul 
"bear"  Bryant,  Joe  Paterno, 
and  John  Vaught  have  ex- 
ceeded his  record  in  total 
bowl  victories. 

Bowden  listed  an    18-14 


win  at  Nebraska  as  his  all 
time  favorite  victory,  "You 
just  don't  beat  Nebraska  at 
Nebraska,  but  we  did."  Vic- 
tories over  LSU  in  1979, 
Florida  in  1987,  and  Miami 
in  1989  place  high  on  his  list 
as  well. 

Bowden,  who  recently 
signed  a  lifetime  contract  to 
coach  at  the  university,  ex- 
pects to  keep  coaching  well 
into  the  1990's.

AWARENESS 


rotecting  our  natural 

^resources  has  long 

«?B^    been  a  leading  con- 

^^'  cern  for  environ- 
mentalists. Now  students  are 
beginning  to  take  action  and 
do  their  part  to  protect  the 
environment  for  future  gen- 
erations. "We  need  to  worry 
more  about  the  future  we're 
providing  for  our  children 
rather  than  what's  conve- 
nient for  us  now,"  Angela 
Foote  said. 

Students  have  come  to  re- 
alize that  the  negligence  of 
past  generations  has  left  them 
with  the  problem  of  working 
out  a  solution  to  save  the 
planet.  The  need  to  find  a 
solution  is  of  utmost  impor- 
tance if  we  are  to  have  a  plan- 
et for  the  future.  "We  need  to 
stop  the  production  of  non- 
biodegradable items  or  any 
others  that  cause  damage  to 
the  environment"  Junior 
Jennifer  Hillary  said. 

And  Rob  Rogers  added 
that  we  need  "to  stop  the  de- 
struction of  the  Amazon 
rainforest." 

One  way  that  students,  as 
well  as  many  cities  and  states, 
have  found  to  help  the  en- 
vironment is  to  recycle.  Re- 
cycling is  one  of  the  easiest 
ways  to  save  landfill  space 
and  to  conserve  our  natural 
resources.  Students  living  on 


campus  began  to  visibly  do 
their  part  with  recycling. 
Most  of  the  residence  halls  on 
campus  placed  recycling  bins 
for  aluminum  cans  and  news- 
papers in  their  lobbies.  So- 
rorities also  did  their  part  in 
recycling  by  placing  can  bins 
in  their  houses. 

Provided  the  means  and 
the  knowledge,  people  have 
become  more  aware  of  what 
can  be  done  to  save  energy, 
money,  and  the  environment. 
"We  need  to  teach  everyone 
what  is  wrong  with  the  en- 
vironment," Jerry  Arocha 
said.  If  people  are  aware  of 
the  problems  with  the  envi- 
ronment and  realize  that 
there  are  practical  solutions, 
they  will  be  more  willing  to 
help. 

One  group  on  campus,  the 
Rorida  Public  Interest  Re- 
search Group,  encouraged 
students  to  become  environ- 
mentally aware  by  providing 
them  with  information  on  re- 
cycling and  the  environment. 
FPIRG  was  comprised  of  stu- 
dents who  were  willing  to  do 
more  than  just  talk  about  en- 
vironmental issues.  One  of 
FPIRG's  priorities  was  to  af- 
fect legislation  at  the  state 
level.  Their  next  campaign 
was  to  get  support  for  the 
Bottle  Bill.  This  bill  would 
place  a  five  cent  return  on  all 


bottles  and  cans.  It  was  de- 
signed to  encourage  state 
wide  recycling  and  reduce  the 
burdens  being  placed  on  our 
land  fills. 

To  meet  the  requirements 
of  the  Solid  Waste  Manage- 
ment Act  of  1988,  which  re- 
quired each  Florida  county  to 
reduce  total  solid  waste  by  30 
percent  by  1994,  30  sets  of 
three  containers  to  hold  glass, 
newspapers  and  cans  were 
placed  throughout  campus 
and  500  boxes  were  put  in 
offices  for  paper  disposal.  As 
of  December  there  were  also 
plans  to  place  concrete  re- 
cycling containers  outside 
several  major  buildings  all 
over  campus. 

Though  concern  has  in- 
creased for  the  environment, 
there  was  still  a  long  way  to 
go.  Americans  produce  7.6 
billion  tons  of  industrial 
waste  and  160-180  million 
tons  of  municipal  solid  waste 
annually  according  to  the  Oc- 
tober 1988  Report  to  Con- 
gress: Solid  Waste  Disposal 
in  the  United  States.  But  with 
groups  such  as  FPIRG  and 
students  who  are  willing  to 
get  involved,  our  planet  will 
have  a  future.

"With  the  exception  of  a 
large  scale  nuclear  war,  no 
other  type  of  disaster  even 
comes  close  to  hunger  as  an 
immediate  threat  to  human 
life.  Between  13  and  20  mil- 
lion people  die  each  year 
from  hunger  and  starvation," 
said  Laura  Somerville,  co- 
coordinator  of  the  Global 
Dinner.  The  general  purpose 
of  the  dinner  was  to  make 
people  aware  of  the  awesome 
problem  of  hunger  and 
homelessness  that  exists  not 
only  in  some  far  away  coun- 
try, but  also  in  their  own  back 
yards. 

Those  that  attended  the 
dinner  were  treated  to  a 
unique  menu  choice.  Once 
they  had  purchased  their 
ticket,  they  were  handed  a 
box  filled  with  colored 
squares  and  told  to  close  their 
eyes  and  take  a  chance  at  the 
"luck  of  the  draw."  There 
were  three  different  colors  — 
green,  orange,  and  purple. 
The  green  ticket  entitled  its 


holder  to  a  full  three  course 
meal.  This  represented  the 
seven  percent  of  the  world's 
population  which  has  plenty 
of  food  and  shelter.  The  or- 
ange ticket  brought  its  holder 
a  meal  of  beans  and  rice. 
These  holders  represented  33 
percent  of  the  world's  pop- 
ulation which  just  "gets  by." 
The  purple  ticket  holders 
were  pointed  in  the  direction 
of  a  newspaper  covered  floor 
between  the  tables  and  the 
speaking  platform.  Their  din- 
ner consisted  of  rice  that  they 
ate  with  their  fingers.  This 
group  represents  the  other 
60%  of  the  world  population 
that  hungers  each  day. 

The  dinner's  program  also 
included  three  speakers,  two 
poets  and  one  musician  to 
entertain  and  educate  the  au- 
dience. County  Commission- 
er, Gary  Yordon,  amused  the 
audience  with  anecdotes  of 
his  career  and  efforts  to  make 
Tallahassee  a  better  place  to 
live.  Yet,  underlying  his  jo- 
vial tone  was  the  seriousness 
of  the  subject  he  was  address- 
ing. The  Tallahassee  director 
of  ECHO,  Bob  Sminkey,  so- 
bered the  crowd  with  the  re- 
alization that  the  hungry  and 
the  homeless  are  normal  peo- 
ple not  some  strange  breed  of 
animal.  Speaking  with  a 
strong,  but  sad  voice,  he  re- 
lated stories  of  the  understaf- 
fed conditions  at  ECHO  and 
the  difficulty  of  meeting 
everyone's  needs.  Dr.  Jenice 
Rankins,  an  assistant  profes- 
sor of  nutrition,  gave  an  in- 
depth  view  of  the  horrors  of 
hunger,  malnutrition,  and 
poverty  —  educating  the  au- 
dience of  the  menace  of 


WHIT  ELFNER 

world  hunger. 

Tina  Abich,  one  of  the  co- 
ordinators of  the  dinner,  felt 
that  "the  Global  Dinner  was 
a  wonderfully  creative  way  of 
getting  people  interested  and 
aware  in  a  problem  that  has 
been  around  as  long  as  hu- 
manity has  existed."  The  din- 
ner, which  was  inspired  by 
the  United  States  Public  In- 
terest Research  Group  , 
raised  over  $500  in  ticket 
sales  for  local  and  world  hun- 
ger organizations.  There  was 
also  a  donation  box  that 
filled  as  the  audience  depart- 
ed. 

Through  the  powerful  im- 
pact of  experience,  those  that 
attended  found  that  hunger  is 
very  close  to  home.  Leanne 
Lewis,  a  freshman  and  a 
member  of  FPIRG,  felt  that 
"the  people  who  made  an  ef- 
fort to  attend  the  Global  Din- 
ner left  feeling  a  bit  more 
thankful  for  the  food  they  eat 
everyday  and  usually  never 
appreciate."

,^fg^ 


Vacationing  students  woke  up  to  the  reality  that  Saddaii 
Hussein  had  invaded  Kuwait  on  Aug.  2.  The  "winds  c 
war"  were  blowing  and  the  United  States  was  b 
coming  heavily  involved.  After  much  debate,  the  UN  Securil 
Council  approved  —  Nov.  29  —  the  use  of  force  against  Hussei 
on  or  after  Jan.  15.  Troops  were  being  packed  up  and  shippe 
out. 

College  plans  were  laid  aside  and  there  were  many  unsu: 
goodbyes.  As  the  deadline  drew  closer  the  possibility  of  w; 
became  a  major  topic  of  conversation.  Students  constantly  kej 
an  eye  on  the  news  waiting  for  new  developments.  The  mornii 
of  Jan.  12  many  students  attended  the  peace  rally  at  the  Vietna 
Memorial  only  to  come  home  and  discover  that  Congress  hi 
voted  to  allow  the  president  to  enforce  the  UN  deadline.  TI 
countdown  continued  and  many  students  were  glued  to  CNN  tl 
night  of  the  deadline.  Everyone  held  their  breath  wondering 
war  would  be  avoided.  It  was  not  to  be  so.  Jan.  16  at  7  p.i 
Eastern  Standard  time  the  U.S.  began  bombing  Iraq  and  c 
cupied  Kuwait.  ^ 

The  war  had  begun.

ven  though  combat  was  occuring  thousands  of  miles  away, 

war  hit  Tallahassee  hard.  For  some  students  it  was  more 

than  just  "the  Gulf  Crisis."  It  involved  their  fathers, 

brothers,  fiances,  and  friends.

PE  Director  Kelly  Peters  speaks  out  against  the 
War  in  the  Persian  Gulf.  CPE  held  a  war 
awareness  rally  outside  of  Moore  Auditoriunn 


division  mentioned  as  being  a  part  of  fighting.  I  was 
afraid  that  if  I  went  to  sleep  —  I'd  get  a  phone  call  telling  me  that 

he  was  dead,"  freshman  Cheryl  Elllis  said. 

Almost  everywhere  students  turned,  there  was  news  about  the 
war.  On  the  editorial  pages  of  the  Flambeau,  the  Democrat  and 
all  over  campus  people  expressed  their  feelings  about  the  war. 
Support  groups  were  formed  by  the  Women's  Center  and 
Thagard  Health  Center  to  help  the  students  deal  with  the  pres- 
sures of  war.  Also,  the  Center  for  Participant  Education  and  V89 
held  discussions  and  debates  on  the  war  and  students  held  rallies 
supporting  and  protesting  against  the  war. 

But  on  February  25,  their  debates  began  to  come  to  a  rapid 
close.  General  Norman  Schwarzkopf  and  President  Bush  ini- 
tiated a  U.S.  led  ground  war.  One-hundred  hours  later,  Feb.  27, 
the  war  was  over,  Iraq  was  defeated  and  a  cease  fire  declared. 

Soldiers  and  students  were  not  the  only  casu- 
alties, even  though  the  first  reported  death  was  an 
FSU  graduate  and  many  student  reservists  had  to 
put  their  lives  on  hold  to  go  and  fight.  The 
environment  was  also  a  casualty  of  war.  Sci- 
entists might  never  know  the  impact  that  oil-well 
fires  in  Kuwait  and  the  oil  spill  in  the  Med- 
iterranean will  have. 

"The  environmental  loss  in  the  Gulf  is  in- 
calulable.  This  is  the  largest  environmental  dis- 
aster ever  experienced,"  Rebecca  Stephens,  en- 
vironmentalist and  faculty  member,  said. 

The  Gulf  War  became  just  another  page  in  the 
history  books,  but  to  the  students  that  spent 
hours  watching  CNN,  listening  to  the  radio,  and 
reading  every  newspaper  they  could  find,  this  war  was  a  part  of 
their  lives  forever.

fie  weather,  the  parking  problems,  the  football  season,  registration  —  all 
typical  topics  for  conversation  at  the  university  as  the  fall  semester  began. 
What  was  not  typical  was  war,  as  a  subject  for  conversation,  or  as  reality. 
But  it  became  reality  when  the  trauma  of  the  conflict  hit  Tallahassee,  FSU  and  the 
.      ,^^^       rest  of  the  country. 
A      M  '^  For  Dr.  Charles  Figley,  director  of  the  university's  Marriage  and 

/%     J^       Family  Therapy  Center,  the  anxiety  and  distress  the  families  of  the 
X    ^  M  m.     mobilized  troops  were  experiencing  was  nothing  new. 

"We  knew  from  working  with  Vietnam  veterans  and  from  research 

r  J  ^^^      about  that  war,  that  the  troops'  main  concern  is  for  their  families," 

I     ^^^     Figley  said.  "Another  of  the  things  we  learned  was  that  the  families 

M     ^t,^y     suffered  extreme  stress  because  they  didn't  know  what  was 

happening  to  their  loved  ones.  We  knew  we  needed  to  have 

-im     /W"W~^      resources  available,  for  counseling  and  other  needs,  for  the 

l^/l    Hj        dependents  who  were  left  here." 

I  ^r   B    rVi         ^^^  Tallahassee  families  left  behind  when  Operation  Desert 

Shield  (later  named  Operation  Desert  Storm)  began  had  multiple  problems  — 
problems  not  often  faced  by  military  families.  This  conflict  marked  the  first  time, 
for  instance,  that  single  parents,  or  both  parents,  or  the  female  spouse  in  a  family 
were  called  to  active  duty. 

Beginning  in  December  1990,  the  Family  Therapy  and  Counseling  Center 
became  a  one-stop  referral  source  for  those  with  loved  ones  in  the  mid-East.  In 
addition  to  counseling,  which  was  available  at  the  center  or  through  home  visits, 
the  center  provided  consultation  on  subjects  ranging  from  taxes  to  legal  help,  and, 
through  the  Red  Cross,  loans  for  families  who  needed  financial  help. 

"We  set  up  a  corps  of  volunteers,  mostly  students,  who  could  be  a  facilitator  or 
friend  or  ombudsman,  or  anything  a  family  needed,"  Figley  said.  "If  they  needed  a 
baby  sitter,  or  someone  to  wait  for  a  repairman  to  come,  or  someone  to  work  out  a 
ride  to  work  while  the  car  was  being  repaired  —  there  was  someone  there." 

The  Mid-East  crisis,  as  it  was  often  called,  brought  into  sharp  focus  an  issue  not 
faced  in  previous  wars:  women  serving  on  active  duty. 

"Whether  we  like  it  or  not,  that  is,  women  in  the  military,  we  can  never  again 
suggest  that  women  can't  meet  the  challenge  of  military  service.  Women  don't 
suffer  as  much  from  post  traumatic  stress  disorder  as  often  as  men,  because 
women  will  take  care  of  themselves  by  engaging  their  feelings  and  talking  to 
someone  about  their  anxieties." 

Figley  elaborated  on  another  problem  unique  to  the  Mid-  East  crisis  —  male 
spouses  being  left  in  charge  of  home  and  family  when  a  female  reservist  is  shipped 
overseas. 

"The  husbands'  problems  were  really  different,"  he  said.  "They  were  ill 
prepared  to  manage  a  household,  felt  out  of  their  element  and  incompetent,  and  oi 
course  our  society  has  never  made  it  a  priority  for  men  to  juggle  career  and  home 
the  way  that  women  are  expected  to  do. 

Once  the  cease-fire  was  declared  in  late  February,  Figley  and  the  staff  at  the 
center  prepared  for  the  return  of  the  troops  and  the  adjustments  they  and  theii 
families  would  have  to  make.  Not  all  of  the  troops,  of  course,  or  all  of  the  families 
experienced  such  adjustments,  but  some  did. 

"The  troops  were  faced  with  getting  theii 
lives  back  in  shape,  dealing  with  the 
frustration  of  not  getting  home  quickly 
enough,  and  then  the  culture  shock  of  going 
from  fox  hole  to  front  porch  in  a  brie) 
period  of  time,"  Figley  said. 

Figley  explained  that  some  of  the 
greatest  changes  may  have  been  in  the 
families  left  behind.  Children  grev 
physically,  emotionally  and  in  assuming 
responsibility;  spouses  took  care  o] 
whatever  needed  to  be  taken  care  of  ano 
gained  a  deep  sense  of  accomplishment  foi 
having  done  so.  Then,  when  the  war  waii 
over,  the  family  had  to  reorganize  ano 
welcome  the  trooper  back. 

"A  further  adjustment  often  occurred  an 
part  of  the  expectation  of  homecoming! 
since  each  person  had  an  idea  of  what  the} 
wanted  the  reunion  to  be  like,"  Figley  said 
explaining  that  the  expectation  and  realitj 
are  not  always  the  same. 

Fortunately  for  the  troops  and  thai) 
families,  support  from  the  center  iii 
available  for  as  long  as  they  need  it,  even  i; 
problems  were  not  apparent  right  away.  / 
program  called  Operation  Open  Hous^ 
designated  county  schools  as  resourcf 
centers  with  help  available  for  Deser 
Storm  veterans  and  their  families,  as  wel 
as  for  Vietnam  veterans  and  dependents. 
Heat,  parking,  football  and  telephom 
registration  will  return  to  the  forefront  ii 
the  fall  of  1991.  Hopefully,  war  will  be  i 
memory  and  not  a  headline  ...

ARTIST  SERIES 


"p  he  Artist  Series  cele- 
brated its  70th  season 


in  the  1990-91  aca- 
demic year.  Those  seven  dec- 
ades consisted  of  many  out- 
standing performances  by  a 
multitude  of  famous  and  not- 
so-famous  artists.  Unfortu- 
nately, the  end  of  the  seventh 
decade  was  thp  end  of  the  se- 
ries. 

The  Artist  Series  carried 
on  a  tradition  with  a  rich  his- 
tory. One  of  the  first  major 
acts  to  contribute  to  the  tra- 
dition was  John  Phillip  Sou- 
sa.  Sousa  and  his  big  brass 
bands  delighted  millions 
across  America  with  their 
rousing  march  numbers.  He 
and  his  bands  performed  in 
the  series  in  the  first  official 
season  of  1921-22  and  re- 
turned two  years  later  to  per- 
form again.  This  and  many 
other  artistic  repeat  perfor- 
mances testify  to  the  energy 
and  ambition  of  the  pro- 
gram's planners  as  well  as  the 
enthusiasm  of  the  audiences. 

The  tradition  of  inviting 
well-known  performers  to  the 
Florida  State  College  for 
Women,  as  the  school  was 
then  known,  actually  began 
in  1911-12  academic  year. 
The  Royal  Welsh  Choir, 
among  others,  came  to  Tal- 
lahassee that  year  and  enter- 
tained local  audiences  with 
their  skilled  artistry.  In  the 
1915-16  season,  the  re- 
nowned Leopold  Godowsky, 
a  master  of  classical  piano, 
also  performed  at  the  behest 
of  the  college.  The  same  year, 
students  of  the  Florida  State 
College  for  Women  invigor- 
ated this  important  tradition 
with  a  simple  request.  Their 


request  was  that  the  admin- 
istration charge  the  students 
a  fee  to  fund  the  program  that 
would  become  the  Artist  Se- 
ries. 

The  series  flourished  in  the 
early  years  under  the  watch- 
ful eye  of  Ella  Scoble  Op- 
perman,  dean  of  the  School 
of  Music  from  1911  to  1 944. 
During  her  tenure,  the  Artist 
Series  booked  many  first  rate 
acts,  ranging  from  Japanese 
drama  to  the  Don  Cossack 
Russian  Male  Chorus.  Pablo 
Casals,  perhaps  the  foremost 
cellist  of  the  20th  century, 
came  to  Tallahassee  during 
the  1924-25  season.  Dean 
Opperman  scored  another 
musical  coup  when  Vladimir 
Horowitz,  one  of  the  finest 
pianists  ever  to  play  the  clas- 
sical repertory,  performed  in 
the  series  in  the  1934-35  sea- 
son. 

Many  of  the  early  perform- 
ers braved  adverse  condi- 
tions in  making  their  dates 
with  the  program.  In  1911, 
the  trip  from  Thomasville, 
Georgia  to  Tallahassee  could 
consume  an  entire  day  and 
the  best  efforts  of  a  pair  of 
strong  horses.  Obviously, 
Tallahassee  was  not  always 
an  easy  town  to  get  to.  This 
season,  pianist  George  Shear- 
ing and  the  Martha  Graham 
Dance  Company  found  that 
conveniences  like  the  Talla- 
hassee airport  and  Interstate 
10  sped  their  trips  into  and 
out  of  the  state  capital. 

The  return  of  the  Martha 
Graham  Dance  Company  re- 
flected the  rich  tradition  of 
the  Artist  Series.  Graham 
first  performed  here  in  the 
1931-32  academic  year,  and 


Curtain  Falls  (CONTINUED) 

her  dance  companies  have 
performed  four  more  times, 
including  this  season's  show. 
Other  repeat  performers  in- 
cluded violinist  Itzhak 
Perlman  and  mime- 
extraordinaire  Marcel 
Marceau.  Pablo  Casals  also 
made  his  way  back  in  1 963  to 
conduct  the  Chorus  and  Or- 
chestra. The  School  of  Music 
awarded  tht  cellist  an  hon- 
orary degree  on  that  occa- 
sion. 

Times  changed,  though, 
and  the  Series  fell  behind.  Fi- 
nances became  a  problem  for 
the  program,  which  began  to 
run  up  deficits  in  the  late 
80's.  Projected  shortfalls  for 
the  1991-92  season  called  for 
a  loss  of  $26,000.  Combined 
with  the  increased  activity  in 
at  the  Tallahassee/Leon 
County  Civic  Center,  the 
deficts  proved  fatal  to  the 
program. 

Dr.  Gerry  Gilmer,  assis- 
tant to  the  president  for  pub- 
lic affairs,  who  oversaw  the 
program  since  1985,  cited 
low  subscription  rates,  but 
indicated  that  the  Artist  Se- 
ries was  not  the  only  such 
program  to  suffer  this  fate. 

"Arts  are  hurting  all  over. 
We've  felt  the  recession 
here,"  Gilmer  said.  "Since 
the  Artist  Series  is  now  self- 
supporting,  the  loss  of  rev- 
enues dealt  the  program  a 
critical  blow."

supercom-

ing the  struc- 
ture of  matter 
and  the  irregu- 
larities in  hu- 
man tissue  were  just  two  of 
the  proposed  experiments 
magnetic  probing  allowed. 

Dr.  Jack  E.  Crow,  physicist 
and  director  of  the  univer- 
sity's Center  for  Materials 
Research  &  Technology,  was 
appointed  as  the  new  Lab's 
director,  expected  to  be  in 
operation  by  1 994. 

Another  lead  physicist, 
Robert  Schrieffer,  left  Cali- 
fornia to  take  the  position  of 
head  theoretical  physicist  at 
the  lab. 

"It's  a  fantastic  ex- 
peprience.  It  was  difficult  to 
leave  the  University  of  Ca- 
lifornia at  Santa  Barbra,  but 


there  are  bigger,  better  things 
if  you  only  open  your  eyes," 
Schrieffer  said. 

The  magnetic  lab  was 
"bigger  and  better"  than  oth- 
er scientific  endeavors,  ac- 
cording to  Schrieffer,  because 
both  the  state  and  federal 
governments  were  supporting 
it  with  grants.  He  said  getting 
both  state  and  federal  fund- 
ing for  science  projects  was 
difficult. 

Innovation  Park,  a  facility 
south  of  the  university's  cam- 
pus, was  said  to  be  the  prob- 
able site  for  the  magnetic  lab. 
Naturally,  many  researchers 
hoped  to  use  the  magnet 
center.  As  well  as  "on- 
campus"  users,  many  "off- 
campus"  users  such  as  Gen- 
eral Electric  and  Chevron 
were  also  granted  permission 
to  use  the  lab. 

"I  think  it's  a  good  day  for 
Florida  State  and  a  good  day 
for  the  system.  It  indicates 
the  ability  for  Florida  State  to 
attract  world-class  scientists 
and  students,"  President  Ber- 
nard Sliger  said. 

The  National  Science 
Foundation  was  expected  to 
spend  between  $60  and  $70 
million  on  the  lab  during  the 
first  five  years.  The  state  of 
Florida  added  to  this  sum 
and  pledged  to  create  work- 
ing positions  for  54  people. 

The  lab  was  a  joint  project 
of  Florida  State,  the  Univer- 
sity of  Florida  and  Los 
Alamos  National  Laboratory 
in  New  Mexico. 

Massachusetts  Institute 
President,  Paul  E.  Gray,  is- 
sued a  statement  requesting 
the  National  Science  Foun- 
dation board  to  reconsider  its 
decision.  However,  the  deci- 
sion stood  firm.

After  returning  to  school, 
Paulette  Wright  felt  that 
car  repairs  were  one  of  the 
hardest  things  to  keep  up  with.  As 
a  single  parent,  Wright  relies  on 
her  sons  to  help  her  with  such  du- 
ties. 

Chores  became  a  shared 
duty  in  the  family  when 
Paulette  Wright  became  a 
student  as  well  as  a  mother.  Re-

PRODUCTION  PROVIDES 


Recognition 


Many  students  de- 
sire recognition 
for  the  hard  work 
that  they  do  in  school.  Imag- 
ine that  a  masterpiece  con- 
ceived and  nurtured  by  a  stu- 
dent  could  be  seen  by 
thousands  of  people.  Would 
that  be  appropriate  recogni- 
tion for  a  student's  hard  work 
and  dedication?  The  College 
of  Communication  thinks  it 
was  and  it  is  for  that  reason, 
and  many  others,  that  Sem- 
inole Productions  was  creat- 
ed. 

Seminole  Productions  was 
initiated  in  1987  in  order  to 
provide  additional  funds  for 
the  media  production  depart- 
ment. This  nonprofit  organ- 
ization grew  into  a  full- 
fledged  production  outfit, 
catering  to  students  who  de- 
sired to  move  into  fields  such 
as  theater,  media  perfor- 
mance and  media  produc- 
tion. Seminole  Productions 
provided  students  with  a  pro- 
fessional working  environ- 
ment, as  well  as  hands-on  ex- 
perience with  state  of  the  art 
equipment.  The  suite  was 
housed  in  the  ground  floor 
production  center  of  the  Dif- 
fenbaugh  Building  on  cam- 
pus. Narration  and  on- 
camera  talent  were  other  op- 
portunities for  students  as 
well. 

The  opportunities  were 
available,  but  where  did  the 
recognition  come  in?  Semi- 
nole Productions  answered 
that  question  with  ease.  Stu- 
dents had  a  chance  to  gain 
recognition  through  their 
hard  work  by  actually  becom- 
ing a  part  of  a  statewide 
broadcast  called  Seminole 


a 


Uprising. 

Seminole  Productions  spe- 
cialized in  covering  athletics 
and  Seminole  Uprising  was 
just  one  weekly  narrative  that 
showed  highlights  showcas- 
ing the  tribe's  football,  bas- 
ketball and  baseball  teams. 
Other  sport  shows  included 
The  Mike  Martin  Show  and 
The  Marynell  Meadors  Show, 
both  starring  their  respective 
head  coaches. 

It  was  here  that  the  stu- 
dents could  be  creative  and 
show  their  talent.  Students 
had  the  chance  to  prepare  a 
feature  stories  or  other  pro- 
ductions that  were  shown 
throughout  the 
show.  The  process 
entailed  gathering 
interviews,  shoot- 
ing footage  and 
writing  script. 
Once  this  was 
done  a  student 
would  piece  to- 
gether the  creation 
by  editing  in  a 
state  of  the  art  in- 
structional facility.  This  fa- 
cility was  equipped  with  a 
Betacam  SP  post-production 
suite  complete  with  satellite 
feed,  digital  video  effects  and 
hi-resolution  graphics  with  3- 
D  animation  capability. 

Once  the  feature  story  was 
completed,  the  students  had 
the  satisfaction  of  watching 
their  creation  televised.  Sen- 
ior Seminole  Productions 
member  Tom  Block  recalled 
the  first  feature  story  he  did 
for  Seminole  Uprising  and 
the  way  he  felt  when  he  saw  it 
broadcasted. 

"I  felt  very  good.  I  remem- 
ber I  worked  on  it  from  mid-

night  on  Thursday  to  Friday 
morning  at  7:30.  So,  it  was 
very  rewarding,"  Block  said. 

However,  there  was  anoth- 
er benefit  to  Seminole  Pro- 
ductions. It  was  something 
the  University's  Sports  Infor- 
mation Director  and  host  of 
The  Mike  Martin  Show 
Wayne  Hogan  called 
"invaluable."  It  was  the  ex- 
perience that  the  students 
gained. 

"The  experience  is  as  good 
as  any  class  or  textbook. 
There  is  no  substitute  for 
what  experience  brings," 
Wayne  Hogan  said. 

Students  could  also  have 
the  satisfaction  of  knowing 
that  they  could  give  the  gar- 
net and  gold  something  in  re- 
turn for  the  experience 
earned.   Head  basketball 


coach  Pat  Kennedy  said  that 
the  broadcasts  Seminole  Pro- 
ductions produced  helped  his 
program. 

"Any  type  of  exposure 
leads  to  awareness  of  the 
sport.  It  brings  in  fans  and 
increases  the  knowledge  of 
the  game,  and  fan  support 
and  interest  is  what  it  is  all 
about,"  Kennedy  said. 

Students  that  participated 
in  Seminole  Productions  had 
excellent  opportunities  to 
gain  experience,  recognition 
and  a  sense  of  giving  some- 
thing back  to  the  university. 
All  the  while  students  had  the 
chance  to  grow  in  the  fields 
that  would  hopefully  carry 
them  beyond  the  realm  of  the 
college  experience.

TICKLING  THE  IVORIES  -THE 


Wright  Way 


A  legend  was  born  at 
the  university  with 
the  arrival  of  Thom- 
as  Wright,  more  fondly 
known  by  faculty  and  stu- 
dents as  "Tommie."  Al- 
though he  intended  to  stay 
only  one  year,  he  soon  fell  in 
love  with  the  college  and 
community  atmosphere  and 
decided  to  make  Tallahassee 
his  permanent  home. 

Once  settled,  he  began  to 
expand  his  musical  abilities. 
He  gave  much  to  the  school 
by  serving  on  committees, 
being  a  model  faculty  figure 
and  even  writing  the  school's 
fight  song. 

Wright  began  his  educa- 
tion at  Butler  University  and 
from  there  went  to  Indiana 
University  where  he  received 
his  master's  degree  in  music. 
Later,  he  studied  at  Colum- 
bia where  he  received  the 
equivalent  to  a  doctorate  in 
music. 

After  leaving  Columbia, 
Wright  went  on  to  be  an  Air 
Force  pilot  in  World  War  I 
for  three  years.  The  experi- 
ence spawned  the  love  he  has 
for  WWI  memorabilia.  Over 
the  years  he  has  collected  a 
library  on  "WWI  in  the  Air," 
and  many  war  replica  air- 
crafts. 

When  Wright  completed 
his  duties  as  a  pilot,  he  went 
on  to  pursue  a  career  in  mu- 
sic. His  credits  included  play- 
ing with  the  Tommy  Dorsey

Orchestra,  teaching  at  Brook- 
lyn College,  working  as  a  staff 
pianist  for  NBC,  writing  mu- 
sic for  CBS,  working  for 
Kraft  Television  Theater, 
and  working  as  a  music  con- 
sultant in  Hollywood.  He  did 
all  of  this  before  coming  to 
the  university  at  the  request 
of  the  dean  of  the  school  of 
music. 

Once  here,  Wright  began 
teaching  music  classes.  He 
was  most  commonly  known 
for  teaching  Introduction  to 
Music  History,  the  longest 
running  course  in  the  history 
of  the  university. 
Not  only  did  he 
teach  classes,  but 
found  time  to  pur- 
sue a  career  as  a 
concert  pianist.  As 
a  concert  pianist, 
he  wanted  to  do 
something  origi- 
nal. He  got  the 
original  idea  he 
was  looking  for 
when  he  saw  peo- 
ple play  greats 
such  as  Mark 
Twain.  "No  one 
had  ever  done  this 
for  a  musician  before," 
Wright  said,  and  soon  after 
he  began  writing  a  script  in 
which  he  portrayed  George 
Gerschwin,  a  world  renown 
pianist.  He  tried  his  idea  on 
local  audiences  and  before  he 
knew  it  things  took  off.  He 
was  soon  booked  all  over  the 
country  to  perform  his  por- 
trayal of  Gerschwin.  Wright 
fondly  recalled,  "I've  trav- 
eled everywhere.  From  Mich- 
igan to  Miami  and  LA  to 
New  York.  I  love  to  travel 
and  try  to  take  my  family 


After  serving  on  the  ath- 
letic committee  and  writ- 
ing the  school  fight  song,  I 
finally  was  recognized  as  a 
letterman  like  I  always 

wanted  to  be. "

with  me  as  often  as  possible." 
Wright's  family  has  played 
an  important  part  in  his  life. 
His  wife,  Rosalinda,  is  a 
graduate  student  teaching 
Spanish  while  working  on  her 
doctorate.  He  has  also  been 
blessed  with  many  daughters 
of  whom  he  spoke  of  fondly. 
"I  love  to  play  and  have  fun 
with  my  girls,"  he  said.  He 
enjoyed  his  family  traveling 
with  him  by  plane  and  in 
their  family  van.  He  said,  "I 
keep  the  Celica  just  to  keep 
up  my  image." 

Wright  has  served  as  a  very 
valuable  member  of  the 
school's  faculty  since  he  ar- 
rived. He  has  served  on  prac- 
tically every  major  commit- 
tee, including  the  steering 
committee  of  the  faculty  sen- 
ate, he  was  chairman  of  the 
Artist  Series,  a  member  of  the 
Athletic  Committee,  and  a 
Chapter  Adviser  for  Phi  Del- 
ta Theta  for  six  years. 

Not  ony  has  he  been  on 
several  committees,  but  has 
also  received  many  presti- 
gious awards,  including  such 
honors  as  the  1988  Panhel- 
lenic  Professor  of  the  Year 
and  Oglesby's  Award  for  Fac- 
ulty Man  of  the  Year.  He  was 
chosen  as  one  of  the  Out- 
standing Educators  of  Amer- 
ica, was  inducted  into  Om- 
icron  Delta  Kappa  and  Gold 
Key,  and  was  made  an  hon- 
orary letterman. 


Wright  told  of  how  becom- 
ing an  honorary  letterman 
meant  a  great  deal  to  him  "I 
was  never  very  athletic  and 
was  always  envious  of  those 
who  were.  So  after  serving  on 
the  athletic  committee  for  six 
years  and  writing  the  school 
fight  song  I  finally  was  rec- 
ognized as  a  letterman,  like  I 
always  hoped  to  be." 

When  asked  how  the 
school's  fight  song  came 
about  he  reflected,  "In  the 
early  days  when  you  went  to 
football  games  you  heard 
FSU  words  to  the  tune  of  No- 
tre Dame's  fight  song.  Doug 
Alley,  a  student  at  the  time, 
put  a  poem  in  the  Flambeau 
with  hopes  that  someone 
could  put  his  words  to  music 
and  come  up  with  a  fight 
song.  I  immediately  went  to 
my  studio.  The  following  Sat- 
urday it  was  played  at  the 
game,  and  soon  after  that 
Student  Government  adopt- 
ed it  as  the  school's  official 
fight  song." 

This  teacher  and  performer 
said  he  has  many  years  ahead 
of  him  at  FSU.  "I'll  keep 
teaching  as  long  as  my  health 
permits  and  I  feel  that  I'm 
teaching  effectively  and  do- 
ing a  good  job."  He  said  that 
the  earliest  he  will  consider 
retiring  is  2005.

eing  with  chil- 
dren keeps  me 
fresh,"  said  Dr. 
Conner  Walters,  Professor  of 
Child  Development  and  Di- 
rector of  Sandles  Preschool. 
Dr.  Walters  came  to  the  Uni- 
versity in  1988  to  teach  and 
soon  found  herself  putting  to- 
gether a  preschool  to  give  her 
students  a  practicum. 

"Children  are  a  contradic- 
tion to  conventional  wis- 
dom," Walters  said, "so 
learning  the  textbook  infor- 
mation is  important  and  it 
establishes  the  necessary  fun- 
damentals, but  the  hands-on 
experience  gained  in  actually 
working  with  toddlers  in  a  su- 
pervised environment  is  vi- 
tal." 

Dr.  Walters'  program  was 
the  result  of  simple  network- 
ing. She  called  a  few  friends 
with  children  and  soon  ac- 
quired a  waiting  list  of  ex- 
cited parents  hoping  to  get 
their  children  into  the  pre- 
school. This  was  not  just  a 
learning  experience  for  stu- 
dents, but  also  for  parents 
and  children.  General  lesson 
plans  were  followed  but  each 
child  received  specialized  at- 
tention because  there  existed 
a  one  to  one  ratio  between 
students  and  children. 

Parents  also  got  to  see  how 
their  children  interacted  with 
peers.  According  to  Walters, 
children  at  this  age  experi- 
enced stranger  anxiety  and 
separation  anxiety  from  their 
parents.  To  work  around  po- 
tential problems,  the  pre- 
school was  equipped  with  ob- 
servation  booths  so  the 
parents  could  watch  how 
their  children  acted  and  re- 


acted 

Other  advantages  for  the 
parents  were  that  they  got  to 
see  new  and  different  ways  of 
dealing  with  their  children 
and  by  participating  in  the 
preschool  they  entered  into  a 
sort  of  parental  support 
group. 

The  preschool  was  staffed 
by  University  students  taking 
Dr.  Walters'  classes.  Each 
Monday,  a  classroom  lecture 
was  given  and  on  Wednes- 
days the  children  arrived  for 
an  hour  and  a  half  of  learning 
and  fun. 

For  the  first  two  weeks  of 
each  semester, 
Walters  delved  ex- 
tensively into 
health  and  safety 
rules  with  her  stu- 
dents. Before  the 
toddlers  arrived  on 
Wednesday  the 
class  went  around 
putting  small  things 
into  a  "choke  tube" 
and  if  it  fit,  that  ob- 
ject was  discarded, 
for  the  safety  of  the 
children. 

During  these  valued  meet- 
ing times  students  grew  and 
learned  together.  A  small  im- 
pressionable child  was  given 
a  firmer  foundation  with 
which  to  grow  and  a  knowl- 
edge hungry  student  was  giv- 
en the  practical  experience 
needed  to  successfully  handle 
the  monumental  task  of  help- 
ing to  develop  a  small  mind. 
"I  live  for  the  time  I  spend 
with  the  children,  it's  the 
highlight  of  my  week,"  Dr. 
Walters  said.

SCHOOL  OF  BUSINESS 

Dr.  Ray  Solomon  was  named 
recipient  of  the  Ross 
Oglesby  Award.  This 
award,  sponsored  by  Gold  Key, 
the  university  leadership  honor  so- 
ciety, was  presented  annually  to 
faculty  or  staff  member  for  out- 
standing service  to  the  university 
and  its  students.  :|ii||j|iiS^M^P^ 
At  the  age  of  6 1 ,  Solomon  had  a 
long  list  of  accomplishments  under 
his  belt.  In  1951  he  received  his 
bachelor's  degree  and  in  1958  his 
master's  degree,  both  from  Florida 
State.  He  then  went  on  to  become 
a  graduate  assistant  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Wisconsin,  earning  his 
Ph.D.  in  1962.  Solomon  was  a  fac- 
ulty member  here  for  1 2  years  be- 
fore becoming  acting  dean  of  busi- 
ness in  1973.  The  next  year  he  was 
officially  appointed  to  the  post.  He 
was  also  involved  with  several  civ- 
ic and  charitable  organizations 
and  was  on  the  board  of  directors 
at  Sun  Bank  of  Tallahassee. 

When  he  stepped  down  from  his 

position  as  dean  during  the  fall,  the

^  ^  T      adies  and  GenT

^'direct  your  at- 
tention to  the  center  ring. 

Sound  familiar?  Bring  back 
special  childhood  memories 
of  seeing  clowns,  trapeze  art- 
ists and  high-flying  acts  at  the 
circus?  Once  again,  those 
memories  could  be  experi- 
enced with  Florida  State's 
own  forty-three  year  tradi- 
tion, the  Flying-High  Circus. 

The  Flying-High  Circus 
was  founded  by  Jack  Haskins 
in  1947,  around  the  time  that 
the  university  became  coed. 
He  saw  the  circus  as  a  good 
way  for  men  and  women  to 
interact  in  an  athletic  activ- 
ity. The  circus  turned  out  to 
be  a  great  success  and  con- 
tinued to  grow. 

Students  from  all  walks  of 
university  life  were  repre- 
sented in  the  circus.  Some 
took  the  class  for  course  cred- 
it, while  others  joined  simply 
to  be  involved  in  an  extra- 
curricular activity. 

"My  first  semester  here  I 
rode  the  bus  around  campus. 
The  bus  often  passed  by  the 
circus  lot  and  I  would  see 
people  practicing.  It  really  in- 
terested me.  My  friend  went 
out  for  the  circus  and  I  de- 
cided to  go  with  him.  The 
people  were  great  so  I  decid- 
ed to  join  myself,"  Mike 
Draayon  said. 

The  circus  had  a  home 
show  and  a  traveling  show. 
The  home  show,  which  oc- 
curred April  5-6,  involved  be-

crowds  as  well  as  students. 


tween  seventy-five  and  one 
hundred  students.  The  trav- 
eling show,  which  performed 
year  round,  consisted  of  the 
twenty-five  to  thirty  most 
committed  and  talented 
members.  The  traveling  show 
ventured  cross-country  dur- 
ing the  year.  Rick  Finch  com- 
mented, "We've  performed 
all  over  Florida  and  most  of 
the  southeast.  Every  summer 
we  go  to  Callaway  Gardens, 
in  Georgia,  and  run  a  rec- 
reation camp  for  kids,  and  at 
the  same  time  do  eight  per- 
formances a  week.  It's  tiring, 
but  a  very  rewarding  expe- 
rience in  the  end." 

Being  a  part  of 
the  circus  in- 
volved much  prac- 
tice. During  a  nor- 
mal  week,  the 
circus  lot  was  open 
five  days  a  week 
from  10a.m.- 
6p.m.  However,  as 
showtime  drew 
near,  the  circus  lot 
stayed  open  much 
longer. 

"There  is  no  set 
practice  time,"  Finch  said, 
"but  as  performance  time 
draws  near,  the  rehearsals  be- 
come more  and  more  fre- 
quent and  intense.  In  the  end, 
it's  worth  it.  An  act  that  gets 
enthusiasm  from  the  crowd 
reassures  me  that  the  hard 
work  has  paid  off." 

The  time  spent  together 
practicing  and  preparing  for 
the  show  proved  to  be  well 
worth  the  effort.  "Spending 
so  much  time  together, 
friendship  and  camaraderie 
are  formed,"  Draayon  said, 
"although  everyone  has  their 
off  days,  we  all  stick  togeth- 


"  We've  performed  all  over 
Florida  and  most  of  the 
southeast.  It's  tiring,  but  a 
very  rewarding  experience 

in  the  end.^^

Basketball  fans  are  given  a

Circus  members  perform  a  diffi- 
cult gymnastic  manuever. 


The  bond  formed  between 
circus  members  is  sometimes 
referred  to  as  that  of  a  family. 
"The  members  of  the  circus 
are  often  referred  to  as  The 
Family,"  Finch  said, 
"because  we  spend  so  much 
time  together  and  work  so 
hard  as  a  team." 

The  circus  members 
worked  diligently  throughout 


the  year.  They  are  hoping  to 
travel  to  the  Bahamas  and 
Eastern  Europe  in  the  future. 
Finch  said,"If  you  haven't

need  to,  the  shows  are  breath- 
taking. Besides,  it's  unique 
not  only  to  the  community, 
but  to  the  university  as  well."

PROFESSORS  MAKE  BIG 


Discoveries 


''Part  of  the  drive  is  to  find 
what  interests  students  about 
science  and  make  it  available 
to  them.  This  is  our  little  bit 
to  do  just  that.^^ 

-Dr.  William  Parker 


Dinosaur  bones  and 
cancer  treating 
drugs  are  items  ex- 
pected to  be  found  in  a  fa- 
mous research  labratory.  But 
students  were  able  to  find 
these  things  in  the  universi- 
ty's own  facilities.  Dr.  Wil- 
liam Parker  and  Professor 
Robert  Holton  were  two  uni- 
versity reasearchers  who 
made  amazing  discoveries. 

Parker  collected  a  mass  of 
dirt  while  on  a  field  trip  in 
northwestern  New  Mexico. 
In  it,  he  unearthed  several 
pre-historic  bones. 
Finding  something  to  give 
students  the 
drive  and  moti- 
vation to  take 
an  interest  was 
Parker's  per- 
sonal goal.  He 
felt  one  of  the 
most  severe 
problems  in  ed- 
ucation was  the 
lack  of  interest 
in  science. 

"Part  of  the 
drive  is  to  find 
what  interests 


students  about  science  and 
make  it  available  to  them. 
This  is  our  little  bit  to  do  just 
that,"  Parker  said. 

With  the  help  of  high 
school  students  that  partici- 
pated in  the  University's 
Young  Scholar's  Program, 
Parker  and  his  helpers  found 
parts  of  three  prehistoric 
creatures. 

Interest  increased  as  Par- 
ker unveiled  his  findings. 
"We're  just  trying  to  bring 
the  unfamiliar  closer  to 
home."  he  said. 

Parker  hoped  to  return  to 
New  Mexico  again  in  order  to 
find  more  evidence  of  these 
creatures.  In  the  meantime, 


the  bones  that  were  uncov- 
ered were  to  be  displayed  as 
part  of  a  geology  exhibit. 

Professor  Robert  Holton, 
on  the  other  hand,  made  a 
breakthrough  in  the  study  of 
concer. 

A  drug  called  taxol,  formu- 
lated with  the  bark  of  a  tree 
called  the  Pacific-Yew, 
showed  promise  in  the  treat- 
ment of  ovarian  cancer. 
Holton  pursued  the  possibil- 
ities taxol  had  in  the  fight 
against  other  forms  of  cancer. 

The  procedure  that  Holton 
developed,  however,  does  not 
require  bark  from  the  Pacific- 
Yew.  Instead,  two  chemical 
fragments  of  the  drug  were 
joined  in  the  lab.  One  frag- 
ment was  easily  composed, 
the  other  was  much  more 
complex.  Fortunately,  how- 
ever, the  second  particle  was 
extracted  from  the  leaves  of 
the  tree,  instead  of  its  bark. 

Problems  continued  to 
plague  the  chemist  as  the 
need  to  produce  taxol  in  large 
quantities  increased.  Studies 
were  labored  because  there 
was  not  enough  of  the  drug 
for  expirements.  The  Univer- 
sity Office  of  Research  filed 
U.S.  and  foreign  patent  ap- 
plications on  Holton's  behalf. 

Associate  Vice  President 
Mike  Devine,  director  of  the 
university's  technology  trans- 
fer programs,  said  the  license 
and  research  agreement  in- 
cluded a  five  year  grant  for 
Holton  to  begin  developing 
the  necessary  drug  for  his  ex- 
periments. The  Florida 
High  Technology  Council 
and  the  Florida  Legislature 
helped  the  university  fund 
Holton's  work.

SERVING  DINNER  IS  A 


Class  Act 


At  first  glance  Hotel 
and  Restaurant 
Management  may 
:e  a  career  that  has  as 
its  main  focus  a  nice  suit  and 
a  flashing  smile.  However, 
one  class  teaches  students 
that  there  is  much  more  in- 
volved in  managing  than  be- 
ing courteous  to  customers. 

The  Hospitality  Depart- 
ment of  the  Business  school 
provided  training  in  all  areas 
of  food  service  through  what 
is  called  Dinner  class.  The 
students  were  divided  into 
teams  to  organize  actual  din- 
ners for  the  public  and  they 
fulfilled  the  duties  of  service, 
production,  reception,  expe- 
ditor,  sanitation  and  manage- 
ment. 

"I  think  you  can  definitely 
tell  when  there  is  a  cohesive 
management  team.  It  makes 
things  m.ore  enjoyable  and  it 
make  the  evening  run  more 
smoothly,"  Courtney 
Scheider  said  after  working 
one  of  the  many  succesful 
dinners. 

One  such  success  was  the 
"American  Bounty"  dinner. 
The  theme  of  "An  Evening  at 
Delmonico's"  and  all  the 
plans  were  organized  by 
Randy  Chancey,  general 
manager;  Michael  Jones,  pro- 
duction manager;  Mark 
Dumias,  service  manager; 
and  Rebecca  Smith,  recep- 
tion manager. 

"This  management  team 
worked  with  each  other  well 
and  communicated  with  their 
employees,"  Susan  Carpenter 
said.  Carpenter  worked  with 
service  for  that  dinner. 

The  dinner  series  began  in 
1958  and  since  that  time  it 
has  developed  such  a  grand 
reputation  that  marketing  of 


(t 


the  tickets  was  not  necessary. 
The  department  provided 
four  series  of  four  dinners 
each  and  the  public  pur- 
chased tickets  for  an  entire 
series  at  $  1 5  per  dinner. 

With  34  students  in  the 
Dinner  Class,  there  were 
eight  teams  of  four  or  five 
that  rotated  weekly  to  expe- 
rience work  in  each  area  of 
food  service.  Each  team  was 
assigned  a  country  for  which 
they  chose  a  related  theme  to 
apply  to  the  dinner  they  man- 
aged. 

Each  dinner  was  preceded 
by  a  34  minute  reception 
where  hot  and  cold  hors 
d'oeuvres  were  served.  Then 
the  dinner  itself 
lasted  two  hours 
and  included  five  to 
seven  courses  and 
one  or  two  wines. 

Though  the  team 
in  charge  of  man- 
agement for  a  din- 
ner planned  the  de- 
tails and  supplied 
all  the  necessities, 
all  the  teams  were  responsi- 
ble. The  sanitation  team 
worked  in  the  dish  room  and 
kept  clean  dishes  available  in 
preparation  for  the  next 
course.  It  was  essential  that 
the  reception  was  set  up 
properly  and  ran  smoothly. 
Production,  the  actual  cook- 
ing and  preparation  of  the 
food,  was  obviously  very  im- 
portant to  the  overall  dinner. 

"This  was  my  first  time  in 
production  not  to  mention 
one  of  my  first  times  cooking 
and  my  manager  made  it  a 
very  pleasent  experience," 
Tracey  Williams  said.  "I  was 
very  uncomfortable  about 
the  idea  of  cooking  for  some- 
one else's  dinner  because  I 


Dinner  is  definitely  a 
bonding  experience  within 
the  department.^^

agement team  used  a  rose  and

lected theme.

didn't  want  to  ruin  it.  Mike, 
my  production  manager, 
helped  me  tremendously,  not 
only  with  the  actual  cooking 
but  also  with  my  nerves." 

Williams  was  not  alone. 
Several  students  involved 
had  limited  to  no  experience 
in  the  areas  they  had  to  work. 
Especially  in  service  there 
was  an  expected  number  who 
had  never  waited  tables  and 
had  no  clue  of  the  proper 
methods.  The  responsibility 
of  making  sure  they  knew  by 
dinner  time  belonged  to  the 
managers.  Even  then  uncon- 
trollable problems  occurred. 

"The  biggest  problem  was 
the  late  table.  That  really 
threw  things  off.  Even  though 
we  tried  to  catch  the  table  up 
to  the  others,  they  were  slow 
eaters  so  that  made  it  worse. 
Another  problem  was  that 
there  was  a  missing  person  at 
one  table.  This  complicated 
the  buebly  system  (a  method 
of  serving),"  Michelle  Mar- 
tinelly,  a  server  at  "American 
Bounty,"  said. 

Each  team,  when  faced 
with  the  management  of  their 
own  dinner,  accepted  an  awe- 
some challenge.  The  instruc- 
tor of  the  dinner  class,  Libby 
Lewis,  informed  each  team 
that  they  had  a  budget  of 
$600,  but  $150  of  that  was 
taken  off  the  top  for  the 
pruchase  of  liquor.  Managers 
relied  heavily  on  business  do- 
nations of  items  like  food  and 
decorations. 

The  management  team  or- 
ganized food  (required  to  be 
made   from   scratch-even 


bread  and  dressings),  decora- 
tions, recipes,  plate  design, 
and  entertainment 

("American  Bounty"  had  a 
student  violinist  as  entertain- 
ment for  their  reception). 
The  managers  also  had  to 
write  reports. 

"Not  only  did  we  receive 
very  detailed  task  sheets,  but 
also  he  (the  service  manager) 
took  the  time  to  draw  out 
posters  of  the  menu,  itmes 
and  the  service  process,"  Su- 
san Carpenter  said  after  serv- 
ing for  "An  Evening  at 
Delmonico's. 

"Secondly,  he  reviewed 
everything  we  needed  to 
know  in  one  of  the  seminar 
rooms.  He  was  very  receptive 
to  any  and  all  questions  pre- 
sented to  him,  and  he  eased 
my  apprehension  of  my  task 
at  hand,"  Carpenter  contin- 
ued. 

After  a  team's  dinner  was 
over  they  and  their  dinner 
were  critiqued  by  the  instruc- 
tor, three  lab  assistants  and 
their  peers.  Then  another 
team  took  over  management 
as  they  moved  on  to  the  next 
area,  setting  up  the  reception 
for  next  week's  dinner. 

"By  semester's  end,  the 
class  is  a  close  knit  group 
from  dealing  with  crises  to- 
gether and  working  colsely 
for  long  periods  of  time," 
Mark  Dumais  said,  having 
his  management  experience 
behind  him.  "Dinner  is  def- 
initely a  bonding  experience 
within  the  department," 
Dumais  said.

STUDYING  BEYOND  THE 


Borders 


To  study  abroad  was  to 
open  doors  to  a  new 
educational  experi- 
ence. Students  not  only 
found  themselves  exposed  to 
a  different  culture,  but  they 
actually  lived  as  a  part  of  this 
culture  —  not  as  tourists.  Op- 
portunities existed  for  stu- 
dents to  participate  in  the 
program  during  fall,  spring  or 
summer  sessions. 

The  locations  of  the  study 
centers  boasted  some  of  the 
most  beautiful  sites  in  the 
world.  Students  could  see  Mi- 
chelangelo's David  while 
studying  in  Florence,  view 
the  grand  sites  of  Lx)ndon,  or 
visit  the  volcanoes  of  Costa 
Rica, 

The  courses  offered  by 
each  center  varied  from  se- 
mester to  semester  due  to 
changes  in  faculty  and  their 
interests.  During  the  fall  and 
spring  sessions  students  car- 
ried course  loads  of  12  to  16 
hours,  but  only  six  to  nine 
hours  were  recommended  for 
students  attending  summer 
sessions. 

Each  study  center  usually 
held  classes  four  days  a  week, 
so  students  enjoyed  travels 
and  tours  during  three-day 
weekends.  In  addition,  dur- 
ing the  fall  and  spring,  classes 
were  suspended  for  one  week 
following  mid-terms. 

"Our  hotel  was  right 
around  the  corner  from  the 
Medici  Chapel,  the  Duomo 

On  the  way  to  the  study 
center,  C.C.  Shoemaker 
and  Julian  Graham  enjoy 
the  beautiful  streets  of  Florence. 
Student  housing  was  separated 
from  the  study  center,  but  it  was 
located  nearby, 


(( 


(Florence  Cathedral)  and  the 
Baptistery,"  Wagner  said. 

Students  attending  the 
Florence  Study  Center  resid- 
ed either  with  landladies  or 
in  a  small  pensione  with  oth- 
er students.  The  center  itself 
was  in  downtown  Florence 
and  it  contained  classrooms, 
faculty  offices  and  a  library. 

The  price  of  the  entire  trip 
varied  depending  on  the  in- 
dividual. Each  student  paid  a 
program  fee  which  included: 
housing,  medical  insurance, 
administrative  expenses  and 
group  travel  costs.  On  the 
weekends,  students  visited 
cities  including  Siena,  Ven- 
ice, Milan  and 
Rome. 

"The  price  also 
covered  breakfast 
at  a  nearby  bar 
(serving  pastries 
and  cappucino), 
about  ten  meals 
out  and  the  sched- 
uled group  trips," 
Wagner  contin- 
ued. 

The  program  fee,  however, 
did  not  cover  tuition  and 
class-related  expenses,  travel 
to  and  from  Italy,  personal 
travel  costs  in  Italy,  or  per- 
sonal expenses  such  as  laun- 
dry, meals,  and  entertain- 
ment. Fortunately,  financial 
aid  awarded  to  attend  classes 
in  Tallahassee  could  be  used 
with  the  Study  Abroad  Pro- 
gram. 

Students  involved  with  the 
program  seemed  to  agree  that 
it  was  impossible  to  complete 
a  session  abroad  without 
gaining  at  least  a  basic  ap- 
preciation of  art.

Almost  every  lecture  for 
art  history  class  was  given

BEYOND  THE  BORDERS  (CONTINUED) 


"Almost  every  lecture  for 
Art  History  class  was  given  in 
museums,  cathedrals,  or  on 
the  streets  of  the  city,"  Wag- 
ner said. 

All  the  students  met  in 
New  York  where  they  took 
off  together  for  Rome.  The 
trip  began  and  ended  in 
Rome  but  students  spent  the 
rest  of  the  time  in  Florence. 

Florence  was  vibrant  for 
the  students  who  enjoyed  the 
shopping,  discos  and  fine 
food.  Perhaps  the  most  ed- 
ucational experience  for  the 
students  involved  the  con- 
stant interaction  with  the 
Italians. 

"I  think  what  I  appreciated 
most  about  the  London  Pro- 
gram was  that  it  allowed  me 
to  experience  England  as 
more  than  just  a  tourist.  I  ate 
British  food,  attended  a  Brit- 
ish church  and  was  a  guest  in 
British  homes,"  Curt  Purcell 
said. 

Most  students  who  attend- 
ed the  Lx)ndon  Study  Center 
lived  in  a  dormitory  style  ho- 
tel, that  also  contained  the 
library  and  offices.  Other  stu- 
dents were  housed  in  similar 
quarters  near  the  main  cent- 
er. 

For  each  session  attended, 
the  students  paid  two  Pro- 
gram Fees,  one  to  the  uni- 
versity and  one  to  a  facil- 
ities/travel contractor.  These 
covered  airfare,  housing, 
medical  insurance  and  ad- 
ministrative fees.  Three  op- 
tions were  available  concern- 
ing program  fees  so  that 
students  could  pay  for  all  or  a 
portion  of  the  above  items. 
The  university  fee  also  cov- 
ered social/cultural  activities 
and  partial  center  overhead 
costs. 

Not  included  with  the  two 
program  fees  are  tution,  class 
related  expenses,  personal 
travel  costs  in  England  and 
other  personal  expenses. 


"As  an  educational  expe- 
rience, I  can't  think  of  any- 
thing better  than  studying 
abroad.  I  was  able  to  actually 
see  on  stage  every  play  cov- 
ered in  my  Shakespeare  class. 
I  interviewed  British  people 
for  Article  and  Essay  Work- 
shop and  for  my  Chaucer 
class,  we  actually  made  the 
trip  to  Canterbury!"  Purcell 
continued. 

As  part  of  the  program,  stu- 
dents saw  Stonehenge,  Bath, 
Stratford-Upon-Avon,  and  of 
course,  Paris.  Participants  in 
the  program  were  encouraged 
to  use  their  weekends  for 
travel  and  were  given  a  ten- 
day  break  exclusively  for  this 
purpose. 

"I  spent  my  break  in  Scot- 
land, going  from  Edinburgh 
to  Inverness  to  Aberdeen. 
Many  other  students  used 
Eurorail  passes  to  travel  on 
the  continent.  Still  others 
went  to  Ireland,"  Purcell 
said. 

Most  of  the  classes  offered 
used  the  London  culture  to 
enrich  the  learning  experi- 
ence. 

"The  culture  in  London  is 
unbelievable.  I  could  have 
seen  a  different  play  every 
night  for  the  entire  semester. 
At  the  Tate  Gallery,  I  was 
able  to  see  everything  from 
Blake  to  Van  Gogh  to  Dali," 
Purcell  said. 

To  study  in  London,  one 
does  not  need  to  be  con- 
cerned about  a  language  bar- 
rier. However,  students  at  the 
Study  Center  in  Costa  Rica, 
like  those  in  Florence,  must 
consider  that  factor.  The 
Costa  Rica  Program  is 
centered  in  San  Jose  and  it  is 
recommended  especially  for 
individuals  majoring  in 
Spanish,  History,  Anthropol- 
ogy, International  Affairs, 
Business  and  Inter-American 
Studies. 

Arrangements  were  made 


for  each  student  to  live  with  a 
Costa  Rican  family.  The  Uni- 
versity of  Costa  Rica  staff  se- 
lected and  monitored  the 
families.  This  gave  the  stu- 
dent direct  access  to  life  with- 
in a  Costa  Rican  family  and 
it  has  proven  very  successful 
in  the  past. 

Two  meals  a  day  (breakfast 
and  dinner)  were  provided  by 
the  family.  The  student's 
laundry  is  also  handled  by 
the  family. 

Another  advantage  of  par- 
ticipation in  the  Costa  Rica 
program  was  the  well- 
credentialed  lecturers  and 
faculty.  Costa  Rican  experts 
addressed  the  students.  Stu- 
dents could  hear  foreign  ser- 
vice officers  of  the  U.S.  Em- 
bassy and  officials  of  the 
government  of  Costa  Rica. 

Some  of  the  weekend  trips 
included  visits  to  volcanoes, 
a  Quaker  farming  colony, 
major  ports  and  beaches  and 
white  water  rafting  down  the 
Reventazon  River. 

Students  took  advantage  of 
the  Studies  Abroad  Programs 
for  many  reasons.  The  classes 
were  smaller  and  were  taught 
by  some  of  the  most  out- 
standing teachers  of  Florida's 
universities.  Education  was 
enriched  by  historical,  social, 
and  cultural  experiences  and 
surroundings.  Confronted 
with  a  new  culture,  students 
were  challenged  to  better 
their  lives.  Students  also 
learned  more  about  our  own 
society,  by  contrast  and  by 
discovering  the  European 
roots  of  our  country.

SURVEY  SHOWS  SURPRISING 


Results 


A  survey  designed  to 
gauge  AIDS 
awareness  of  stu- 
dents who  were  fu- 
ture health  professionals  had 
surprising  results 

Dr.  Dianne  Harrison 
Montgomery,  who  complied 
the  survey  with  Dr.  Deborah 
Zurschmiede  of  Appalachee 
Association  in  Tallahassee 
and  Dr.  Karen  Sowers-HOag 
of  Florida  International  Uni- 
versity, supervised  its  admin- 
istration, was  director  of  the 
doctoral  program  in  the 
School  of  Social  Work,  was  a 
faculty  member  for  over  15 
years  and  taught  courses  in 
human  sexuality.  The  survey 
was  administered  to  students 
in  the  School  of  Social  Work. 
"We  surveyed  undergrad- 
uate and  graduate  students, 
and  the  results  showed  that 
the  students  are  not  as  knowl- 
edgable  as  we  would  like 
about  AIDS  or  the  HIV  vi- 
rus," Montgomery  said. 

"The  survey  was  written  to 
test  the  knowledge,  attitudes 
and  behavior  of  students  who 
will  become  health  profes- 
sionals, social  workers, 
nurses,  psychologists  and 
counselors,  but  the  students 
continued  to  hold  myths  that 
could  harm  their  patients  and 
themselves.  The  students 
were  not  as  knowledgeable  as 
we  had  assumed,"  she  said.

piled the  survey  with  Dr.  Deborah 
Zurschmiede  of  Appalachee  As- 
sociation in  Tallahassee  and  Dr, 
Karen  Sowers-Hoag  of  Florida  In- 
ternational University,

Another  disturbing  conclu- 
sion drawn  from  the  survey 
was  the  contrast  in  student 
beliefs  and  behavior.  "Even 
when  students  had  a  high  de- 
gree of  knowledge  about 
AIDS  and  the  HIV  virus,  that 
knowledge  was  not  reflected 
in  their  behavior,"  Mont- 
gomery said. 

"Part  of  the  problem  is  that 
young  people  believe  they  are 
invulnerable;  they  are  part  of 
the  It  Won't  Happen  To  Me 
Syndrome."  National  re- 
search showed  that  young 
people  tended  to  regard 
AIDS  as  an 
"adult"  disease 
which  wouldn't  af- 
fect, or  infect 
them. 

Because  the  im- 
plications of  the 
survey  results 
were  so  distress- 
ing, Montgomery 
surveyed  students 
from  a  variety  of 
majors,  "to  be 
sure  that  not  only 
social  work  stu- 
dents were  at  risk  because  of 
their  lack  of  information." 
These  students'  reactions 
were  in  the  ranges  of  the  so- 
cial work  students. 

Subsequently,  the  survey 
was  administered  to  students 
at  another  university  in  the 
State  University  System,  to 
gauge  beliefs  of  students  with 
similar  education  and  life  ex- 
periences. Again,  the  results 
were  the  same. 

Montgomery  thought  that 
a  large  part  of  the  problem 
was  that  Florida's  college  age 
population  was  not  covered 
by  legislation  requiring  AIDS 


The  survey  results  showed 
that  the  students  are  not  as 
knowledgable  as  we  would 
like  about  AIDS  or  the  HIV 


virus.

SURPRISING  RESULTS  (CONTINUED) 


instruction  for  students. 

"House  Bill  1739  was 
passed  by  the  Florida  Legis- 
lature in  the  1990  session, 
and  it  mandates  that  students 
from  kindergarten  through 
senior  high  take  human  sex- 
uality (mostly  called  health 
education)  classes.  But  there 
are  no  requirements  for  col- 
lege students." 

Fortunately,  many  stu- 
dents at  the  university  chose 
to  take  General  Biology  for 
non-majors  (APB  1 1 50). 

"Two  thousand  five  hun- 
dred students  a  year  take  this 
course,"  Ann  Lumsden  said. 
Co-coordinator  for  the  non- 
major  biology  program, 
Lumsden  said  that  the  per- 
centage was  very  good. 

One  fourth  of  the  course 
was  dedicated  to  the  biology 
of  AIDS.  It  explained  how 
HIV  worked  and  how  it  was 
transmitted.  Dr.  Paul  Elliot, 
who  taught  the  session  on 
AIDS,  also  explained  to  stu- 
dents the  best  way  to  prevent 
infection. 

"Behavior  modification, 
it's  as  simple  as  that,"  Elliot 
said.  "Practicing  safe  sex  and 
safe  IV  drug  use  are  the  only 


truly  effective  measures  to 
prevent  the  spread  of  HIV, 
short  of  abstention." 

But  specific  information 
about  a  sexually  transimtted 
disease  which  had  reached 
epidemic  proportions  in 
much  of  the  world  was  not 
required  for  students  in  the 
health  profession  at  state  uni- 
versities. Only  when  they 
graduated  and  became  li- 
censed would  those  students 
come  under  the  jurisdiction 
of  state  laws  designed  to  pro- 
tect the  public  from  the 
spread  of  HIV. 

"The  state  requires  that  li- 
censed health  and  mental 
health  professionals  attend 
classes  on  AIDS  and  the  HIV 
virus,  and  maintain  credits 
certifying  their  continuing 
education,"  Montgomery  ex- 
plained. And  thus  was 
formed  the  predicament 
which  Dr.  Montgomery's  sur- 
vey disclosed;  a  large  segment 
of  young  adults  in  Florida  did 
not  have  clear-cut,  definitive 
information  on  AIDS  and  the 
HIV  virus.  The  situation  was 
made  even  more  ironic  and 
tragic  because  the  legislation 
was  intended  to  be  part  of  an 


overall  health  education  cur- 
riculum for  Florida  students. 

This  did  not  mean  that 
AIDS  education  was  ignored; 
AIDS  education  was  avail- 
able on  campus.  Orientation 
packets  that  included  AIDS 
information  and  brochures 
on  sexually  transmitted  dis- 
eases were  available  through 
the  orientation  office  and 
Thagard  Health  Center. 

This  information  was  vol- 
untary however,  and  the 
truth  of  the  matter  was  that 
few  students  sought  out  the 
available  facts.  For  that  rea- 
son, Montgomery  remained 
concerned  that  students' 
AIDS  knowledge  was  hap- 
penstance. 

Because  of  Florida's  reve- 
nue-collecting dilemma  in 
late  1990  and  early  1991,  the 
university  had  to  reduce  its 
$190  million  allocation  by 
$  10.4  million;  faculty  and  ad- 
ministrators were  faced  with 
maintaining  the  status  quo; 
few  new  courses  were  consid- 
ered.

FINDING  A  SUITABLE 


Replacement 


In  a  move  looking  toward 
the  long  term  needs  of 
the  university  in  the  state 
educational  system,  Dale 
Lick  was  choesen  to  succeed 
Dr.  Bernard  Sliger  as  pres- 
ident of  the  university.  Lick, 
who  resigned  as  president  of 
the  University  of  Maine  be- 
fore he  took  his  post  at  Flor- 
ida State  in  August,  won  the 
job  on  his  abilities  as  a  fund 
raiser 

The  search  for  a  new 
univeristy  president  was  not 
an  easy  one.  It  included  a 
long  list  of  candidates  from 
coast  to  coast.  After  51  peo- 
ple applied  for  the  position, 
the  list  was  reduced  to  1 1  and 
then  to  six  finalists. 

Arthur  K.  Smith  was  the 
provost  and  executive  vice 
president  for  academic  af- 
fiars  at  the  University  of 
South  Carolina,  Columbia. 
He  was  a  former  vice  pres- 
ident for  administration  at 
the  State  University  System 
of  New  York,  Binghamton. 

Augustus  Turnbull  was 
provost  and  vice  president 
for  academic  affairs  at  Flor- 
ida State.  He  was  a  public 
administration  and  govern- 
ment professor,  former  staff 
director  for  the  Florida 
House  Education  Committee 
and  assistant  professor  of  po- 
litical science  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Georgia. 

Margaret  Preska  was  pres- 
ident of  Mankato  State  Uni- 
versity, Mankato,  Minnesota. 
She  had  a  background  in  Eng- 

Florida  State  provost  and 
vice  president  for  academ- 
ic afifairs  Augustus  Turnbull 
was  one  of  the  six  finalists  for  tine 
position.  After  Dale  Licl<  was  cho- 
sen for  the  position,  Turnbull  made 
the  decision  to  return  to  teaching.

demic dean  at  La  Verne 
College  in  California  and 
vice  president  for  academic 
affiars  and  equal  opportunity 
officer  to  Mankato  State. 

Robert  Glidden  was  the 
dean  of  the  School  of  Music. 
He  was  a  former  director  of 
graduate  studies  in  music  and 
chairman  of  music  education 
at  the  University  of  Oklaho- 
ma. He  was  also  former  ex- 
ecutive director  of  the  Na- 
tional Association  of  Schools 
of  Music  and  National  As- 
sociation of  Schools  of  Art  in 
Washington,  D.C. 

Curtis  L.  McCray  was  the 
president  of  Cali- 
fornia State  Uni- 
versity, Long 
Beach.  He  was  an 
English  professor 
and  former  prov- 
ost and  vice  pres- 
ident for  academic 
affairs  at 

Governers  State 
University,  Uni- 
versity Park  HI 
and  president  of 
the  University  of 
North  Florida  in  Jackson- 
ville. 

Lick,  who  had  undergrad- 
uate, graduate,  and  masters 
degrees  in  mathematics  from 
Michingan  State  University 
and  a  doctorate  from  the 
University  of  California, 
Riverside,  would  face  an  up- 
hill battle  to  keep  class  sizes 
under  control  with  the  uni- 
versity's 28,000  enrollment. 

The  importance  of  private 
fund  raising  stemmed  from 
inadequate  finance  structures 
that  caused  individual  classes 
to  grow  in  size.  Each  semes- 
ter the  number  of  classes

taught  in  auditoriums  in- 
creased and  classes  of  200 
students  of  more  were  be- 
coming increasingly  more 
common. 

With  the  population  of 
Florida  growing  and  inade- 
quate funding  to  pay  top  pro- 
fessors competitively  and 
provide  for  adequate  class- 
room facilities,  the  only  so- 
lution was  for  public  univer- 
sities  to  raise  money 
privately.  Top  professors  re- 
ceived up  to  two  hunderd 
thousand  dollars,  a  price  that 
sounded  high  but  reflected 
what  these  educators  were 
worth. 

With  the  new  supercon- 
ductor and  enhanced  scien- 
tific facilities,  the  university 
found  itself  competing  with 
school  like  the  Massachusset- 
tes  Institute  of  Technology 
for  some  of  th  most  respected 
professors  in  the  nation.  Dr. 
Sliger  said  that  lack  of  money 
was  only  one  factor  contrib- 
uting to  the  growing  class 
size. 

"The  Board  of  Regents 
sent  someone  down  to  study 
and  critique  the  university, 
and  the  funny  thing  is  they 
criticized  us  because  our  class 
sizes  were  too  small.  They 
compared  us  to  the  Univer- 
sity of  Florida,  who  they 
praised  for  holding  so  many 
large  classes  in  auditoriums, 
so  they  could  pay  their  pro- 
fessors even  more.  Pay  them 
more  to  teach  less  seems  to  be 
the  trend  nowadays,"  SUger 
said. 

But  Lick  had  been  publicly 
praised  for  handling  drastic 
state  budget  cuts  during  his 
reign  at  Maine  without  let- 
ting those  cuts  affect  the  stu- 
dents. 

As  well  as  serving  as  the 
Maine  president  at  the  time 
of  his  selection  by  the  Board 
of  Regents,  Lick  served  as 
president  of  Georgia  South- 
ern University  where  he 
helped  transform  the  football 


team  into  a  national  power- 
house in  Division  I-AA. 

He  raised  private  money 
for  a  stadium,  hired  a  good 
coach  and  sent  somebody  to 
K-Mart  to  buy  the  team's 
first  footballs. 

On  his  first  visit  to  Florida 
State  in  late  January,  Lick 
impressed  members  of  a 
search  advisory  committee 
with  his  record  and  confi- 
dence in  answering  their 
questions. 

"He  has  a  history  of  mov- 
ing institutions  forward,  and 
excellent  experience,"  faculty 
senate  president  Alan  Mabe 
said. 

Lick  and  his  wife,  Marilyn, 
were  from  Marlette,  Michi- 
gan. They  had  three  grown 
children  and  were  very  active 
in  the  Reorganized  Church  of 
Latter  Day  Saints,  where  she 
was  an  elder. 

While  Lick  probably 
wouldn't  have  been  found 
playing  pool  with  the  stu- 
dents, he  did  enjoy  playing 
golf  and  tennis.  He  also  likes 
to  attend  the  theater  and  con- 
certs, but  those  who  knew 
him  best  said  he'd  rather 
work. 

"He's  a  24  hour  a  day  pro- 
fessional," Dean  Propst, 
chancellor  of  the  university

FINAL  QUESTIONS  ANSWERED  FRANKLY 


His  Own  Words 


77 


Outgoing  President 
Dr.  Bernard  Sliger 
was  happy  to  be 
moving  on  after 
fifteen  years  as  university 
president.  In  this  exclusive 
interview  to  the  Renegade 
staff,  Sliger  reflected  on  the 
outstanding  triumphs  and 
modest  defeats  since  his  as- 
sociation with  the  university. 
From  the  horrors  of  the  Ted 
Bundy  massacres  to  joining 
the  ACC  and  winning  the 
new  magnet  lab,  Sliger  had 
these  frank  words  to  say  . . . 

Q:  The  university  has  made 
incredible  strides  in  the  fif- 
teen years  you've  been  here 
as  president.  The  past  per- 
ceptions of  FSU  hosting  an 
environment  of  radicals  and 
extremists  has  changed  to 
mainstream.  What  kind  of 
credit  can  you  take  for  such 
changes? 

A:  I  feel  like  it's  just  hap- 
pened underneath  me.  I 
couldn't  have  stopped  it  if  I 
tried.  If  I've  done  anything, 
it's  to  let  them  do  what 
they're  good  at.  Take  for  ex- 
ample Bobby  Bowden.  Some 
presidents  might  have  trou- 
ble handling  a  coach  who  is 
more  popular  than  the  pres- 
ident -  getting  a  lot  more  at- 
tention. But  my  feeling  is  that 
Bobby  Bowden  is  good  for 
Florida  State  because  the 
publicity  he  is  getting  is  good 
for  the  university.  So  if  I've

ication of  a  park  in  her  name. 


done  anything  it's  to  let  my 
people  do  what  they're  good 
at. 

Q:  Could  you  name  one  of 
your  proudest  accomplish- 
ments during  your  reign 
here? 

A:  There  are  two  things. 
One's  tangible,  the  engineer- 
ing school.  I  think  I  had  a 
more  substantial  hand  in  get- 
ting that  done  than  anything 
else.  The  second  thing  is  in- 
tangible. I  think  what  we've 
created  here  is  an  atmosphere 
on  campus  in  which  the  stu- 
dents, faculty  and  adminis- 
tration get  along  reasonably 
well. 

Q:  How  has  the  student  body 
changed  over  the  duration  of 
your  presidency? 

A:  I  don't  think  it's  changed 
very  much.  The  students 
have  better  grade  point  av- 
erages and  SAT/ACT  scores 
than  they  did  fifteen  years 
ago,  but  whether  that  really 
makes  them  better  and  how 
much  better,  I  don't  know. 
It's  more  difficult  to  get  in 
now  and  I  guess  we  have  a 
student  body  that's  more  re- 
spected nationally,  but  I 
think  it  will  take  ten  years  for 
people  to  realize  how  good 
Florida  State  is  right  now. 

Presently,  they're  judging 
us  on  how  good  we  were  ten 
years  ago.  People  say  to  me 
all  the  time  that  if  you  have  a 
really  good  football  team, 
then  you  must  be  over- 
emphasizing athletics.  My 
point  is  that  we're  as  good  a 
university  now  than  when  we 
were  0- II .  Probably  better. 
But  I  can't  see  much  of  a  dif- 
ference. They're  certainly 
more  conservative  now  than 
they  were  in  the  early  sev- 
enties, but  you  don't  want 


them  docile  either.  You're 
okay  just  as  long  as  they're 
not  pitching  bricks  through 
your  window. 

Q:  We  have  had  to  fight  hard 
to  overcome  the  image  of  be- 
ing one  of  the  more  radical 
campuses  in  the  country.  We 
were  the  university  that 
brought  in  streaking,  male 
homecoming  queens,  and 
that  sort  of  thing.  Has  FSU 
moved  more  towards  the 
mainstream,  and  if  so,  has 
the  value  of  the  education  re- 
ceived here  changed  as  a  re- 
sult? 

A:  Yes,  but  I  don't  want  to 
put  to  much  of  an  emphasis 
on  that  "yes"  because  I  don't 
really  think  we  were  out  of 
the  mainstream  —  it  was  just 
a  perception.  Lots  of  places 
have  had  similar  kinds  of 
things. 

We  have  had  our  share  of 
chance,  though.  For  example, 
the  first  announced  casualty 
of  the  Gulf  war  was  a  Florida 
State  graduate.  The  Bundy 
incident  —  Bundy  didn't 
even  know  where  Florida 
State  was.  He  was  heading  to 
Gainseville. 

The  streaking  thing,  we 
just  got  credit.  I  think  we've 
had  our  share  of  unusual  sta- 
tistical events,  but  I  believe 
that  a  degree  from  Florida 
State  is  equivalent  to  one 
from  any  good  public  univer- 
sity in  the  country  and  cer- 
tainly better  than  many. 

Q:  What  do  you  see  the  ACC 
adding  to  academics? 

A:  I  believe  we  will  be  com- 
pared to  those  schools.  Peo- 
ple will  think  of  Duke,  North 
Carolina,  Georgia  Tech,  Vir- 
ginia, and  Florida  State.  As 
an  independent  president, 
you  don't  associate  very 


HIS  OWN  WORDS  (CONTINUED) 


much  with  other  presidents 
the  same  way  presidents  do 
in  an  athletic  conference.  I 
had  my  first  meeting  recently 
with  ACC  presidents  and 
spent  several  hours  with  the 
president  of  Duke  and  Geor- 
gia Tech.  You  ask  what  they 
do  and  they  want  to  fmd  out 
what  you  do.  Then  they  fmd 
out  you're  better  than  they 
thought  you  were  and  you 
fmd  out  you're  not  that  far 
behind  them. 

Q:  How  do  you  feel  the  ath- 
letic program  has  changed 
since  you  got  here?  Do  you 
feel  athletics  has  strength- 
ened or  weakened  the  Uni- 
versity academically? 

A:  I  think  the  athletic  pro- 
gram has  done  remarkably 
well.  In  our  case,  how  foot- 
ball goes  is  how  our  athletic 
program  goes  because  we 
have  to  finance  the  athletic 
department  out  of  athletic 
revenues  and  the  only  one 
that  even  breaks  even  is  foot- 
ball. We  spend  four  million 
dollars  on  football  and  we 
make  nine  million. 

We  have  a  great  athletic 
program  and  at  the  same 
time  we  give  money  to  schol- 
arships and  other  academic 
needs.  I  think  with  other 
presidents  the  perception  of 
FSU  academically  has  im- 
proved remarkably.  Anybody 
that  knows  higher  education 
knows  that  athletics  doesn't 
hurt  academics  in  any  way. 

Q:  Describe  a  typical  day  for 
you  in  your  duties  as  pres- 
ident. 

A:  A  typical  day  would  be  to 
get  up  between  five  and  six.  I 
go  down  to  Burger  King  when 
it  opens  at  six  to  get  a  cup  of 
coffee  and  a  biscuit.  They  get 
a  paper  there  and  I  read  it. 
Then  I  walk  for  forty-five 
minutes  and  I  get  to  the  office 
between  9  and  9:30  and  I 
have  appointments  all  day.  I 
meet  with  the  president  of 
the  faculty  staff,  state  sena- 
tors, and  groups  that  want  us 
to  endow  them.  And  then 


I've  got  between  five  and  ten 
phone  calls.  I  have  to  call 
everyone  who  doesn't  get  the 
job,  too.  For  example,  yes- 
terday I  had  to  call  the  person 
that  we  didn't  pick  for  the 
Dean  of  Arts  and  Sciences 
job,  and  I  had  to  call  a  father 
who  wanted  his  daughter  in 
the  nursing  school.  And  I 
have  to  read  sometimes  — 
and  I  have  to  write.  I  never 
have  a  weekend  off. 

Q:  Do  you  see  class  sizes  in- 
creasing, leveling,  or  getting 
smaller? 

A:  I  think  it's  going  to  in- 
crease everywhere  in  Florida. 
They're  not  going  to  give  you 
the  resources  to  cut  class  size 
down  unless  they  change  the 
tax-structure.  It's  funny,  we 
got  criticized  —  the  Board  of 
Regents  pay  'experts'  to  come 
in  and  evaluate  our  educa- 
tional programs  —  and  we 
got  criticized  for  having  too 
many  small  classes  in  the 
mathematics  department. 

Q:  What  characteristics  do 
you  think  the  new  president. 
Dale  Lick,  has  to  add  to 
FSU? 

A:  First  of  all,  he's  young. 
He's  just  the  right  age.  At  53, 
he's  perfect  because  he's  got 
enough  energy  and  he's  old 
enough  that  he's  learned 
some  lessons  along  the  way.  I 
think  he's  a  hard  worker;  I 
think  he's  very  bright.  His 
record  has  demonstrated  that 
everywhere  he's  been  he's 
gone  on  to  a  higher  niche. 

Q:  How  are  you  going  to  feel 
July  31,  the  last  day,  when 
you're  putting  your  belong- 
ings away  for  the  last  time? 

A:  I  think  it  comes  slowly. 
You  have  several  reactions. 
First  you  announce  you're 
stepping  down.  The  next 
time  is  when  they  announce 
the  new  person-  you  get  a 
funny  feeling  because  you're 
standing  off  to  the  side. 
There  will  be  aspects  of  it  I 
miss.  I'm  not  saying  I'm  go- 
ing to  hang  it  up,  but  I'm 


tired  of  reading  memos.  My 
secretary  has  probably  had 
five  calls  since  you've  been  in 
here  saying  someone  needs 
papers  signed.  It's  time  for 
someone  else.  I'm  happy  I 
made  my  decision  how  I  did 
when  I  did. 

Q:  What  do  you  feel  has  been 
the  most  personally  reward- 
ing aspects  of  your  presiden- 
cy? 

A:  I  spoke  to  a  fellowship 
gathering  the  other  night  and 
said  that  one  of  the  things  I 
really  like  about  this  univer- 
sity is  that  people  want  to  get 
to  know  the  president.  They 
don't  care  if  it's  Mickey 
Mouse  or  Donald  Duck,  they 
just  want  to  meet  the  pres- 
ident. So  you  can  get  a  lot 
closer  to  the  students  as  the 
president  than  as  a  faculty 
member  or  other  mentor. 

The  number  of  students 
you  influence  as  president  is 
much  greater  than  it  is  on  the 
faculty.  When  I  walk  across 
the  campus,  at  least  some- 
body says  'hi'  to  me.  But  you 
come  back  in  a  year,  and  un- 
less they  name  the  stadium 
after  you,  they  won't  remem- 
ber you. 

Q:Do  you  have  any  last 
words  for  the  students  or  fac- 
ulty? 

A:  Work  hard.  There's  no 
substitute  for  hard  work.  A 
lot  of  people  don't  realize 
how  hard  I've  worked  be- 
cause I  don't  try  to  run 
around  and  give  that  impres- 
sion. You  won't  get  anywhere 
without  hard  work.  Even 
among  geniuses,  I've  always 
found  that  the  people  who  get 
the  farthest  in  their  fields 
work  the  hardest. 

Q:  Any  other  last  words? 

A:  I've  enjoyed  the  fifteen 
years,  but  there's  been  some 
sad  days,  too,  that  I  don't 
think  anybody  realizes.  A 
young  girl  got  killed  near 
campus  recently.  People  say 
that  as  a  university  president, 
you're  just  like  a  mayor.  A

launches  another  preci-

FLORIDA  STATE  45 
EAST  CAROLINA  24 


Haunted  by  opening 
losses  the  last  two 
years,  the  Semi- 
noles  spooked  the  East  Car- 
olina Pirates  45-24  in  a  shaky 
first  game.  They  took  com- 
mand and  got  over  the  first 
game  jitters. 

On  the  second  play  of  the 
tribe's  first  possession,  full- 
back Edgar  Bennett  fumbled, 
giving  East  Carolina  the  ball 
on  the  Seminoles'  24-yard 
line.  The  turnover  cost  the 
Seminoles  a  touchdown  from 
a  scoring  drive  that  involved 
Pirates'  quarterback  Jeff 
Blake's  13-yard  pass  to  run- 
ning back  Cedric  Van  Buren 
after  just  three  minutes  into 
the  contest.  "They  kind  of 
shocked  us  for  a  little  while," 
outside  linebacker  Sterling 
Palmer  said 

On  the  next  drive,  the 
Seminoles  could  only  move 
to  the  Pirates'  44-yard  line 
before  they  were  forced  to 
punt.  The  warrior's  defense 
picked  up  the  momentum 
and  spread  the  fire  to  the  of- 


fense. 

On  third-and-two,  Semi- 
nole quarterback  Brad  Joh- 
son  connected  to  receiver 
Lawrence  Dawsey  on  a  13- 
yard  pass.  On  the  next  play, 
running  back  Amp  Lee  bolt- 
ed through  the  line  for  a  28- 
yard  gain,  giving  the  Semi- 
noles a  first-and-goal  at  the 
five  yard  line. 

Dawsey  wrestled  a  pass 
thrown  by  Johnson  from  Pi- 
rate defender  Chris  Hall  in 
the  comer  of  the  end  zone  to 
tie  the  score  at  seven.  "He's 
(Dawsey)  our  Mr.  Automatic. 
He  makes  things  happen." 
Johnson  said. 

Defense  revved  their  en- 
gines again  after  Howard 
Dinkins'  sack  and  then  a 
Kirk  Carruthers  fumble  re- 
covery. The  offense  handled 
the  rest  with  a  29-yard  field 
goal  by  kicker  Richie  An- 
drews. 

With  the  talent  of  Semi- 
nole running  backs  Paul 
Moore,  Amp  Lee,  and  Edgar 
Bennett,  the  tribe  gained  the 


yardage  needed  to  cap  off  an 
80-yard  drive. 

Comerback  Terrell  Buck- 
ley ignited  the  field  leaving  a 
trail  of  smoke  behind  him  af- 
ter returning  a  63  yard  punt 
return  for  a  touchdown,  drag- 
ging East  Carolina's  Ernest 
Tynes  into  the  end  zone. 

Buckley  remained  hot  in 
the  second  half  when  he 
picked  off  a  Blake  pass  and 
returned  it  28  yards  to  the 
Seminoles'  48  yard  line. 

The  tribe  racked  in  two 
more  touchdowns  pushing 
their  lead  to  38-17.  The  final 
score  came  on  a  nine  play, 
75-yard  drive,  highlighted  by 
Bennett's  1-yard  touchdown 
power  run.

Terrell  Buckley  just 
ran  his  third  consec- 
utive punt  return  for 
a  touchdown.  However,  you 
missed  it  because  you  decid- 
ed to  take  a  break  from  the 
loud  noise  and  the  crowd  in 
Doak  Campbell  Stadium. 
That's  okay.  You'll  just  flash 
your  ticket  stub  and  find  your 
seat  just  in  time  for  Lawrence 
Dawsey's  big  catch  of  the 
game,  right?  Wrong! 

Seminole  football  fans  who 
left  the  stadium  after  kickoff 
during  the  six  home  games 
found  themselves  without  a 
way  to  get  back  in.  A  new  rule 
established  prior  to  the  foot- 
ball season  prohibited  ticket 
holders  from  re-entering  the 
stadium  once  the  game  was 
under  way. 

The  new  policy  went  into 
effect  with  the  Sept.  8  home 
opener  against  East  Carolina 
and  continued  through  the 
Dec.  1  closing  clash  with  the 
University  of  Florida.  The 
rule  was  created  for  safety 
reasons. 

"Florida  State  is  joining 
many  Division  I  universities 
across  the  country  in  imple- 
menting a  rule  encouraged  by 
the  NCAA  of  limiting  alcohol 
abuse  at  intercollegiate  ath- 
letic contests.  Once  the  foot- 
ball game  begins,  any  ticket 
holder  who  exits  the  stadium 
will  not  be  allowed  to  re- 
enter. The  purpose  of  this 
policy  is  to  protect  the  in- 
tegrity of  the  game  as  well  as 
the  safety  and  comfort  of  the 
fans,"  Athletic  Director  Bob 


Goin  said. 

Other  measures  were  also 
taken  this  year  to  ensure  the 
well-being  of  fans.  The  uni- 
versity's Department  of  Pub- 
lic Safety  officials  advised  the 
public  to  leave  home  two  to 
three  hours  before  kickoff  to 
avoid  traffic  congestion  and 
to  obtain  nearby  parking. 
The  parking  dilemma  may 
have  seemed  unbearable 
when  the  lower  half  of  the 
intramural  field  next  to  Flor- 
ida  High,  which  was 
redesignated  as  a  lot  for  Sem- 
inole Boosters,  and  the  band 
field,  were  closed  to  the  gen- 
eral public  for  this  season. 

However,  the  Leon  County 
Civic  Center  and  downtown 
state  lots  were  able  to  accom- 
modate 2000  vehicles.  In  ad- 
dition, Taltran's  Tribe  Ride 
Shuttle  provided  service  to 
Campbell  Stadium  to  those 
fans  wanting  to  avoid  the 
parking  crunch. 

Another  precaution  taken 
was  circled  around  the  foot- 
ball field.  University  and  Tal- 
lahassee police  officers  and 
Leon  County  Sheriffs  depu- 
ties were  joined  at  all  of  the 
home  games  by  agents  from 
the  Bureau  of  Alcohol,  To- 
bacco, and  Firearms,  who  pa- 
trolled for  underage  drinkers. 
A  total  of  250  to  300  law  en- 
forcement officials  directed 
traffic  and  provided  security 
in  and  around  the  stadium.

GA  SOUTHERN     6 


The  Seminoles'  48-6 
rout  of  Georgia 
Southern  was  a  cele- 
bration of  a  bright  future. 
The  game  was  highlighted 
with  solid  performances  by 
underclassmen,  giving  Sem- 
inole fans  high  hopes  for  the 
season. 

Leading  the  ground  attack 
was  freshman  Sean  Jackson 
with  112  yards.  Sophomore 
Amp  Lee,  nursing  an  injured 
hand,  still  managed  to  con- 
tribute 47  yards  and  two 
touchdowns,  adding  to  the 
tribe's  320  yard  rushing  total. 
The  Seminole  youth  move- 
ment was  also  demonstrated 
in  an  air  attack,  as  sopho- 
more Shannon  Baker 
grabbed  three  catches,  two  of 
which  were  for  touchdowns. 
Baker  had  always  dreamed  of 
making  that  first  touchdown 
catch.   'Tt  was  like  heaven 


passing  in  my  face,"  the  wide 
receiver  said.  "It  was  more 
exciting  than  anything  I  had 
imagined." 

A  young  Seminole  defense 
rose  to  the  occasion  as  well. 
Sophomore  outside  lineback- 
er Brad  Lundstrom  recovered 
two  fumbles  and  the  line  held 
the  Eagles'  driving  force  to 
only  14  yards. 

The  contest  also  marked 
the  first  start  for  inside  line- 
backer Marvin  Jones.  The 
freshman  would  become  a 
third  team  Ail-American  se- 
lection at  the  season's  end. 

To  add  to  the  excitement, 
sophomore  speedster  Terrell 
Buckley  returned  a  punt  67 
yards  for  a  fourth  quarter 
score,  and  the  final  blow  for 
the  Georgia  Southern  Eagles 
from  the  tribe's  young  guns.

The  battle  with  Tulane 
in  the  New  Orleans 
Superdome  was  pre- 
dicted to  be  an  easy  win  for 
the  Seminoles.  Instead,  it 
turned  out  to  be  a  super  per- 
formance from  both  teams. 

The  tribe's  defense  held 
strong  against  the  Green 
Wave's  solid,  ball-controlled 
ground  attack.  Early  in  the 
game  the  Tulane  offense 
marched  from  its  20  yard  line 
to  the  Seminole  14  before  a 
Terrell  Buckley  interception 
stifled  the  drive.  "That  set 
the  stage  for  our  defense," 
Buckley  said. 

The  defense  staged  a  near 
shutout,  blemished  only  by 
two  Green  Wave  touchdowns 
late  in  the  game,  ending  the 
contest  at  31-13. 

The  tribe's  offense  was  ex- 
plosive, running  up  43 1  yards 
because  of  the  pinpoint  ac- 
curacy of  the  quarterbacks; 


Brad  Johnson  completed  13 
of  17  passes  for  170  yards 
and  Casey  Weldon  went  1 1 
for  1 5  passes  for  110  yards. 

At  the  receiving  end  of 
those  passes  were  wide  re- 
ceiver Lawrence  Dawsey  and 
tailback  Amp  Lee  with  six 
catches  each,  and  fullback 
Edgar  Bennet  with  four.  Red- 
shirt  freshman  receiver  Matt 
Frier  made  two  big  catches 
which  later  set  up  a  44  yard 
Bennet  score.  First  year  re- 
ceiver Eric  Terral  hauled  in  a 
22  yard  touchdown  catch  to 
cap  off  the  Seminole  air  as- 
sault. 

"Our  defense  play  great," 
said  coach  Bobby  Bowden. 
"It  was  my  fault  we  didn't  get 
the  shutout.  Other  than  that  I 
was  pleased  with  every- 
thing."

Williamson 

Leaves  His  Memory 


The  university's  first 
football  coach,  Ed 
Williamson,  died  of 
cancer  January  14,  1991. 
"I  remember  how  for 
years,  Florida  wouldn't  play 
FSU  because  they  thought  it 
was  beneath  them.  Ever  since 
then,  Ed  despised  Florida, 
even  though  he  had  played 
there,"  J.D.  Williamson,  Wil- 
liamson's older  brother  said. 
However,  a  rising  compet- 
itor cannot  be  snubbed  con-

when  football  was  unheard  of 
on  this  campus.  Though  the 
1 904  team  won  a  state  cham- 


made,  and  Williamson  was 
assigned  the  task  of  finding  a 
coach.  This  job  proved  al- 
most impossible  because  the 
university  had  set  high  stand- 
ards for  a  coach. 

"The  decision  was  that 
none  of  them  (the  candi- 
dates) would  do  because  none 
had  doctorates,"  Williamson 
said. 

Three  months  away  from 
the  first  kickoff,  the  situation 
was  tense.  With  no  team,  no 
coach,  no  stadium,  and  no 
equipment,  Broward  Culpep-

In  1930,  Williamson  grad-

"I  remember  how  rough

Times  have  changed  and

"You  never  find  out  what 
kind  of  team  you  have  until 
you  get  behind,"  coach  Bob- 
by Bowden  said.  "I  think  that 
was  just  about  the  greatest 
football  game  I  ever  saw,  a 
typical  Virginia  Tech  game 
for  us." 

Highlights  of  the  game 
peaked  when  the  tribe's  cor- 
nerback,  Terrell  Buckley  pro- 
vided a  53  yard  interception 
return  for  a  touchdown.  It 
was  Buckley's  fourth  inter- 
ception of  the  season. 

Beaten  twice  on  touch- 
down passes  in  the  first  half, 
comerback  Errol  McCorvey 
psyched  himself  into  a  big 
second  half  recovery.  "I  real- 
ly got  down  on  myself  after 
giving  up  those  two  touch- 


downs. I  told  myself  that  I 
could  either  come  out  in  the 
second  half  and  make  some 
big  plays,  or  do  nothing  and 
take  the  criticism." 

McCorvey  illustrated  his 
belief  in  himself  as  he 
swooped  up  a  fumble  and  ran 
it  back  77  yards  for  a  touch- 
down in  the  fourth  quarter 

Virginia  Tech  quickly  pro- 
duced 21  points  on  mere 
scrimmage  plays  until  quar- 
terback Brad  Johnson  took 
over.  Johnson  initiated  the 
Seminoles  on  the  road  to  re- 
covery with  a  1 0  play  drive  of 
84  yards,  as  tailback  Amp 
Lee  scored  a  touchdown  on  a 
five  yard  run.  As  Johnson  ex- 
celled in  22  of  38  passes,  the 
team  totaled  420  yards  on  of- 
fense. 

In  1 1  games,  Bowden  had 
never  lost  to  Virginia  Tech. 
"We  matched  guts  for  guts," 
Bowden  said.  "If  we  hadn't, 
we  probabaly  would  not  have 
won  this  one." 

Regardless  of  how  the 
game  was  won,  it  was  a  vic- 
tory. The  Seminoles  went 
forth  with  the  longest  win- 
ning streak  ever,  1 4  games

FLORIDA  STATE22 


It  was  a  game  full  of  pres- 
sure and  high  stakes.  The 
tribe  entered  the  contest 
ranked  number  two  in  the  na- 
tion and  Miami  stood  ninth 
ranked.  For  the  Seminoles,  a 
win  in  Miami  would  have 
meant  a  number  of  things. 
The  most  obvious  would 
have  been  claiming  the  brag- 
ging rights  of  being  the  state's 
best.  Other  prizes  that  could 
have  been  won  were  breaking 
Miami's  33-game  winning 
streak  in  the  Orange  Bowl 
and  handing  coach  Bobby 
Bowden  career  victory  num- 
ber 200.  Yet,  the  legendary 
coach  would  have  to  hold  at 
199,  because  the  Hurricanes 
had  other  plans. 

The  Hurricanes  seized  the 
victory,  31-22,  by  capitaliz- 
ing on  the  garnet  and  gold's 
penalities  and  the  talent  of 
Miami's  devastating  rushing 
attack.  The  Seminoles  had 
eight  penalities  for  85  yards, 
three  of  which  came  on  key 
third  down  plays  that  would 
have  given  the  Seminoles  the 
ball.  Miami  also  gained  334 
rushing  yards  which  sent  a 
deadly  blow  to  the  Semi- 
noles. However,  Seminole  in- 
side linebacker  Kirk  Car- 
ruthers  expected  the  rush. 

"We  figured  they  would 
run,  but  we  thought  we'd  stop 
it  quickly  and  force  them  to 
pass,"  Carruthers  said. 

Although  the  Seminoles 
ended  the  two  quarters  24-6, 


the  tribe  managed  to  mount  a 
comeback  effort  in  the  sec- 
ond half,  pushed  on  by  the 
halftime  news  that  Stanford 
upset  number  one  ranked 
Notre  Dame. 

'T  thought  we  might  pull 
out  a  Miami  of '87,"  Bowden 
said,  recalling  a  similar  effort 
that  ended  in  a  26-25  loss. 
"That's  what  our  goal  was  at 
the  halftime." 

The  spark  started  in  the 
second  half  when  Seminole 
quarterback  Brad  Johnson 
looked  towards  senior  receiv- 
er Lawrence  Dawsey,  who 
caught  a  career  high  1 3  passes 
for  160  yards  and  a  touch- 
down. 

With  11:30  remaining  in 
the  fourth  quarter,  a  32  yard 
field  goal  kicked  by  Richie 
Andrews  and  Amp  Lee's  two 
yard  touchdown  run  cut  Mi- 
ami's lead  to  24-16.  The  Hur- 
ricanes answered  with  a  13 
play,  80  yard  drive  ending 
with  a  two  yard  push  into  the 
endzone  by  Stephen 
McGuire  which  ate  up  time 
considerably,  making  the 
score  31-16. 

Yet,  the  Seminoles  would 
end  the  game  with  one  last 
surge  as  backup  quarterback 
Casey  Weldon  led  a  61  yard 
scoring  drive,  hitting  tight 
end  Dave  Roberts  on  a  19 
yard  touchdown  pass  with  24 
seconds  remaining.

FLORIDA  STATE   17 


It  was  probably  the  big- 
gest heartbreak  for  the 
Seminole  squad  as  the 
warriors  watched  a  38  yard 
Tiger  field  goal  float  through 
the  goal  posts  with  only  two 
seconds  remaining  that  broke 
a  tie  and  won  the  game  20-1 7. 
The  Seminoles  took  it  down 
to  the  wire  only  to  watch 
their  hopes  for  the  national 
title  diminish  at  Jordan  Hare 
Stadium. 

The  tribe  was  successful  in 
the  first  half  against  the  Ti- 
gers as  backup  quarterback 
Casey  Weldon  set  a  flame  to 
the  frustrated  offense  for  two 
second  quarter  touchdowns. 
The  Seminoles  led  1 7-7  head- 
ing into  the  locker  room. 

However,  the  tide  turned 
as  the  Tigers  gnawed  away  at 
the  Seminoles  lead  and  an- 
swered with  ten  fourth  quar- 


ter points,  including  the 
game  winning  set  up  by  a  22 
yard  quarterback  sack  on  a 
Seminole  fourth  down  at- 
tempt. 

"We  have  got  to  get  the 
killer  instinct.  We  have  a 
good  scheme,  but  we've  just 
got  to  take  the  game  when  we 
have  the  chance,"  comerback 
Terrell  Buckley  said. 

Although  the  Seminoles 
lost  in  front  of  an  enthusi- 
astic flood  of  fans  shaking 
pom-poms  of  blue  and  or- 
ange, the  tribe  still  managed 
to  improve  on  some  key  as- 
pects of  the  game.  Weldon 
passed  for  224  yards  and  one 
touchdown  to  lead  the  Sem- 
inole average.  Lawrence 
Dawsey  had  eight  catches  for 
69  yards  and  sophomore  run- 
ning back  Amp  Lee  rushed 
for  81  yards  to  carry  the 
tribes  offense. 

Junior  inside  linebacker 
Kirk  Carruthers  believed  the 
defense  did  their  job.  "I  felt 
like  the  Auburn  game  was  a 
building  block  for  our  de- 
fense. Aside  from  some  mis- 
takes and  mishaps,  we  played 
well,"  Carruthers  said. 

Head  coach  Bobby 
Bowden  agreed  with  Car- 
ruthers and  complimented 
his  team  despite  the  loss. 

"I  thought  our  kids  played 
a  courageous  game  against 
Auburn.  They  played  well, 
our  defense  in  particular.  I 
thought  we  showed  a  lot  of 
character  and  heart,  but  we 
also  had  too  many  mistakes," 
Bowden  said.

stepping  Up  to  the 
Conference  Altar 


After  weeks  of  being 
courted  by  both  the 
Atlantic  Coast  Con- 
ference and  the  Southeastern 
Conference,  university  offi- 
cials decided  to  plunge  into  a 
lifelong  commitment.  On 
Sept.  1 5  the  desirable  football 
independent  stepped  up  to 
the  conference  altar  to  an- 
nounce its  marriage  to  the 
ACC,  ending  44  years  of 
bachelorhood. 

The  decision  was  definitely 
influenced  by  the  ACC's 
strong  academic  reputation. 
"This  is  an  outstanding  op- 
portunity for  Florida  State 
and  I  am  sure  they  will  make 
the  most  of  it,"  said  State 
University  System  Chancel- 
lor Charles  Reed. 

University  president 
Bernie  Sliger  made  the  an- 
nouncement official  when  he 
accepted  the  invitation  to 
join  the  conference  starting 
July  1.  All  sports  will  begin 
league  play  during  the  1991- 
92  season.  The  football  squad 
should  begin  action  no  later 
than  the  1994  season. 

The  marriage  also  ended  a 
1 5  year  relationship  with  the 
Metro  Conference.  "These 
have  been  good  years.  We  did 
conclude,  as  we  looked  into 
the  future,  that  our  long  term 
good  would  be  best  served  by 
an  all-sports  conference 
membership,"  Sliger  said. 

The  ACC  was  created  in 
1953  with  seven  charter 
members:  Clemson,  Duke, 
Maryland,  North  Carolina, 
North  Carolina  State,  South 
Carolina  and  Wake  Forest. 
Virginia  was  added  to  the 
elite  list  in  late  1953,  while 
South  Carolina  withdrew  in 
1971.  The  last  time  a  team 
entered  the  conference  was  in 
1978  when  Georgia  Tech  was 


added. 

The  decision  to  join  the 
ACC  became  even  more  clear 
when  the  SEC  withdrew  con- 
sideration of  Florida  State  af- 
ter it  learned  of  the  ACC's 
imminent  offer. 

By  joining  the  ACC  rather 
than  the  SEC,  the  university 
could  earn  at  least  one  mil- 
lion dollars  more  per  year. 
The  ACC  is  also  know  to 
have  the  nation's  most  lucra- 
tive basketball  conference. 
When  legendary  coaches  and 
their  teams,  such  as  North 
Carolina's  Dean  Smith  enter 
the  realms  of  Seminole  ter- 
ritory, garnet  and  gold  fans 
may  scream  the  war  chant 
louder  than  ever. 

In  football,  the  road  to  the 
national  title  should  be  less 
rocky.  The  SEC  offered  a 
brutal  conference  schedule 
that  almost  guaranteed  one 
loss  per  year.  Playing  an  ACC 
schedule  should  make  the 
team  a  strong  contender  for 
the  title,  year  in  and  year  out. 

Finally,  the  ACC  offers  a 
much  stronger  baseball  con- 
ference for  the  tribe,  as  it  bol- 
sters southern  power  North 
Carolina  and  Georgia  Tech. 

"We  are  delighted,"  said 
Clemson  athletic  director 
Bobby  Robinson,  "It's  a  good 
marriage  for  both  parties."

he  Seminoles  put  a 
halt  to  a  two  game 
losing  streak  with  an 
impressive  42-3  slaughter 
over  the  Tigers  of  Louisiana 
State.  In  addition  to  the  win, 
Seminole  coach  Bobby 
Bowden  tipped  the  meter  as 
he  reached  his  milestone  of 
200  collegiate  victories. 

It  took  just M  7  seconds  for 
the  Seminoles  to  light  up  the 
scoreboard  in  Doak  Camp- 
bell Stadium,  as  the  Tigers 
fumbled  the  opening  kickoff. 
The  tribe's  Terrell  Buckley 
recovered  on  the  Tiger's  16 
yard  line  and  two  plays  later 
tailback  Amp  Lee  found  pay 
dirt. 

Quarterback  Casey 
Weldon  took  center  stage  in 
his  first  start  of  the  season  as 
he  led  the  tribe  to  a  school 
record  99  yard  touchdown 
drive.  Freshman  wide  receiv- 
er Matt  Frier  was  one  of  the 
stars  during  the  drive  when 
he  caught  a  54  yard  bomb 


from  Weldon.  It  was  the 
Seminoles'  longest  offensive 
play  of  the  season. 

"I  was  kind  of  surprised 
because  that  was  the  first 
time  that  they've  really  gone 
deep  to  me.  I've  always  been 
a  possesion  type  receiver  and 
I  always  thought  that  I  could 
get  deep  on  them,"  Frier  said. 

Weldon  took  the  air  again, 
this  time  with  only  three  sec- 
onds remaining  in  the  half 
The  38  yard  "Hail  Mary- 
pass  landed  in  the  hands  of 
Shannon  Baker  to  take  a  28-3 
lead  into  the  locker  room. 

"It  was  a  pre-designed 
play.  There  were  three  receiv- 
ers on  one  side  instead  of 
one.  Really,  when  the  play 
was  designed,  all  three  receiv- 
ers were  supposed  to  go  up 
and  make  the  catch,"  Baker 
said. 

The  Tigers  were  never 
threatened  in  the  second  half, 
while  Seminole  substitutes 
played  most  of  the  fourth 


quarter.  One  was  Maurice 
Pinckney,  who  led  the  squad 
with  52  yards  on  four  carries. 
On  that  day,  the  Seminoles' 
offense  had  71  plays,  which 
gained  468  yards.

Coach  Bowden's  Semi- 
noles  took  to  the 
road  for  the  contest 
against  the  Gamecocks  in 
William-Brice  Stadium.  The 
last  time  the  two  teams  met 
former  Seminole  quarterback 
Peter  Tim  Willis  passed  for 
362  yards  to  lead  the  tribe  to 
a  35-10  Homecoming  win  in 
1989. 

This  year  the  battle  be- 
tween the  two  teams  would 
vault  the  Seminoles  back  on 
top,  improving  their  record 
to  6-2  with  a  41-10  victory 
over  the  Gamecocks. 

The  Warriors  rushed  for 
344  yards  on  the  ground 
while  holding  the  Gamecocks 
to  a  mere  62  yards  rushing. 
Freshman  tailback  Sean 
Jackson  led  the  Seminoles' 
offense  with  1 1 5  yards.  Run- 
ning back  Amp  Lee  contrib- 
uted by  adding  94  more  yards 
three  touchdowns. 


''We  had  just  outstanding 
blocking  all  day  long.  We 
came  out  throwing  our  first 
possession  and  realized  they 
(South  Carolina)  were  tyring 
to  take  away  the  deep  pass,  so 
it  was  up  to  us  to  execute  the 
running  game.  It  was  a  big 
win  for  us,  especially  to  play 
that  well  on  the  road,"  Lee 
said. 

Besides  the  fierceness  of 
the  Seminoles'  offense,  there 
were  the  devastating  plays  of 
the  defense.  The  tribe's  de- 
fense sacked  Gamecock  quar- 
terbacks six  times,  and  the 
birds  converted  on  only  one 
of  1 1  third  down  plays. 

"Our  defense  was  really 
coming  together.  We  wanted 
to  keep  South  Carolina  out  of 
the  end  zone  and  we  nearly 
did,"  inside  linebacker  Kirk 
Carruthers  said.

Saturday. 

"I  was  hoping  I  could  get 
in.  Three  snaps  made  it  all 
worthwhile,"  Barre  said. 

Cornerback  Terrell  Buck- 
ley rewrote  the  Seminole  rec- 
ord books  with  his  83  yard 
interception.  Buckley  earned 
the  rights  of  holding  the  most 
yardage  on  interceptions  dur- 
ing a  single  season.  He  has 
2 1 9  yards  by  way  of  six  pass 
interceptions. 

"The  only  disappointment 
was  that  we  didn't  score  100 
points,"  Buckley  said. 

With  a  comfortable  lead, 
Coach  Bowden  did  some- 
thing he  rarely  does.  He  took 
of  his  headphones  early  in  the

when  the  Seminoles 
punched  Memphis  State,  35- 
3,  in  the  inaugural  Texaco 
Star  Classic  at  Orlando's  Cit- 
rus Bowl. 

"The  main  thing  is  that  the 
guys  played  well  enough  to 
win,"  coach  Bobby  Bowden 
said.  "We  took  control  early, 
and  the  defense  never  let 
them  get  back  in  the  game." 

Linebacker  Kirk  Car- 
ruthers  came  out  big  as  he 
recovered  a  Memphis  State 
fumble  and  led  the  tribe  with 
seven  tackles  as  well  as  break- 
ing up  a  pass. 

"I  felt  like  I  had  a  little 
extra  motivation  due  to  the 
fact  that  I  was  out  last  week- 
end," Carruthers  said,  refer- 
ring to  his  one  game  suspen- 
sion for  breaking  training 
rules. 

With  the  Seminoles  ahead 
9-0  at  the  end  of  the  first 
quarter,  Memphis  State  had 
to  replace  their  injured  quar- 
terback. The  tribe's  defense 
then  had  less  to  worry  about. 
The  defense  kept  the  Tigers 
to  153  yards  total  and  five 


first  downs. 

On  offense,  the  Seminoles 
were  able  to  put  the  game  in 
victory  range  as  26  additional 
points  were  scored.  Center 
Robbie  Baker  helped  gain 
control  of  the  line  of  scrim- 
mage throughout  the  game. 

The  game's  most  valuable 
player  was  wide  receiver 
Lawrence  Dawsey.  Headed 
for  the  NFL,  Dawsey  exem- 
plified eight  catches  for  133 
yards  and  two  touchdowns. 
He  also  ran  for  two  addition- 
al touchdowns,  but  they  were 
called  back  by  the  officials. 
They  ruled  he  stepped  out  of 
bounds  on  the  first  one,  and 
the  second  was  called  back 
because  a  lineman  was  ille- 
gally downfield.  With  the  re- 
cruiting scouts  in  the  audi- 
ence, Dawsey  had  hoped  at 
least  one  of  the  touchdowns 
would  have  resulted  in  his  fa- 
vor. 

"I  thank  God  for  giving  me 
the  opportunity  to  play  and 
making  two  of  those.  I  really 
can't  complain,"  Dawsey 
said.

The  easiest  way  the 
fans  described  the 
contest  between  the 
Seminoles  and  the  Gators 
was  excitement.  The  big 
plays  made  all  the  difference 
in  a  joyous  victory  over  the 
Gators,  45-30. 

After  just  two  offensive 
plays,  quarterback  Casey 
Weldon  launched  a  76  yard 
bomb  to  Senior  Ail-American 
receiver  Lawrence  Dawsey 
who  stepped  the  pig  skin 
across  the  goal  line  for  an 
easy  touchdown. 

Linebacker  Howard 
Dinkins  scooped  up  a  fumble 
from  Gator  running  back 
Willie  McClendon  after  Flor- 
ida's first  play  from  the  line 
of  scrimage.  The  Seminoles 
took  over  on  the  33  yard  line 
in  Gator  territory,  and  four 
plays  later  Richie  Andrews 
kicked  a  47  yard  field  goal  to 
put  the  Seminoles  ahead,  10- 
0. 

The  big  plays  continued  as 
the  master  of  trickery,  coach 
Bowden,  set  up  a  surprise  on 
the  Seminoles'  next  posses- 


sion. Facing  fourth  and  inch- 
es from  the  Seminole  4 1  yard 
line,  Bowden  stacked  his 
team  tightly  on  the  line  for 
what  appeared  to  be  a  run  up 
the  middle.  With  all  the  tribe 
tightly  packed  on  the  line  of 
scrimage,  the  offense  shifted 
formations  and  the  Gators 
thought  the  play  was  in  mo- 
tion and  jumped  offsides. 
The  Seminoles  won  the  first 
down. 

The  Seminoles  capitalized 
on  the  Gator's  mental  error 
with  another  big  play  on  the 
drive.  Freshman  wide  receiv- 
er Matt  Frier  caught  an  18 
yard  pass  for  a  first  down  and 
third  and  12.  Frier's  catch 
was  spectacular  because  the 
Seminoles  only  made  two  of 
1 1  third  down  conversions, 
and  none  in  the  second  half 
Running  back  Amp  Lee 
ended  the  drive  with  a  three 
yard  pass  from  Weldon  into 
the  end  zone  and  the  tribe  led 
17-3. 

The  night  continued  to  siz- 
zle in  the  second  quarter  as 
Seminole  safety  John  Wyche 


intercepted  the  ball  from 
Gator  quarterback  Shane 
Matthews  on  their  two  yard 
line.  However,  the  Seminoles 
didn't  convert  and  the  Gators 
narrowed  the  score  to  17-10 
after  just  five  plays. 

The  Seminoles  bounced 
back  with  a  29  yard  connec- 
tion from  Weldon  to  Lee 
which  led  to  a  score  on  a  two 
yard  run  by  junior  fullback 
Edgar  Bennett,  and  the  tribe 
lead  24-10  at  the  half 

Upon  returning  to  the  field 
for  the  second  half,  Weldon 
passed  to  Frier  for  a  50  yard 
gain  and  four  plays  later, 
Bennett  scampered  in  for  his 
second  score,  and  the  'Noles 
led  31-10. 

The  last  big  play  by  the 
Seminoles  occured  when  the 
score  was  38-24.  Weldon 
once  again  connected  with 
Dawsey  for  a  71  yard  bomb 
on  the  first  down.  One  play 
later,  Lee  picked  up  his  sec- 
ond score  and  the  Seminoles 
gigged  the  Gators  for  the 
fourth  year  in  a  row.

PENN  STATE 


Bobby  Bowden  capped 
off  his  silver  anniver- 
sary season  of  coach- 
ing this  year  when  the  Semi- 
noles  tripped  up  Joe 
Paterno's  Penn  State  Nittany 
Lions  in  the  inaugural  Block- 
buster Bowl  at  Joe  Robbie 
Stadium.  Bowden  bulked  up 
his  all  time  high  percentage 
in  bowl  victories  with  the 
win,  as  the  'Noles  continued 
to  remain  unbeaten  in  bowl 
games  since  the  1980  season. 

The  Seminoles,  with  a 
crushing  defense,  combined 
with  the  scrambling  of  MVP 
Amp  Lee,  the  passing  of 
Casey  Weldon  and  the  catch- 
ing heroics  of  Lawrence  Daw- 
sey,  held  off  a  late  Penn  State 
counterattack  to  declaw  the 
Lions  24-17. 

A  crowd  of  74,201  saw 
Bobby  Bowden  gain  his 
205th  career  victory,  as  the 
Seminoles  finished  the  sea- 
son ranked  fourth  in  the  na- 
tion. 

Bowden  felt  that  Penn 
State  was  the  best  team  his 
young  squad  had  faced  all 
season.  "I've  never  enjoyed  a 
bowl  as  much  as  this  one,  be- 
cause  of  his  (Coach 
Paterno's)  association.  When 
you've  beaten  Joe,  you've  ac- 
complished something." 

The  'Noles  took  a  1 7-7  lead 
into  halftime,  highlighted  by 
an  Amp  Lee  1-yard  scoring 
run,  a  41 -yard  Richie  An- 
drews field  goal,  and  another 
Amp  Lee  scoring  run,  this 
time  for  seven  yards.  The 


Tribe  recorded  some  impres- 
sive halftime  statistics,  as 
they  led  the  Lions  in  total 
yardage. 

Penn  State  fought  back  in 
the  second  half,  cutting  the 
lead  to  17-10  before  Weldon 
scored  on  a  bootleg  to  put  the 
Seminoles  up  by  two  touch- 
downs. 

At  that  time.  Lion  backup 
quarterback  Tom  Bill 
checked  into  the  game  and 
promptly  hooked  up  with 
Terry  Smith  on  a  37  yard 
touchdown  pass  to  cut  the 
lead  to  one  touchdown. 

The  'Noles  responded  like 
a  top  five  team,  as  the  vaunt- 
ed FSU  defense  stifled  the 
Nittany  Lions  on  their  last 
two  drives  to  seal  the  victory. 

While  Florida  State  fin- 
ished the  season  with  a  10-2 
record  and  a  magnificent 
bowl  victory,  many  of  the 
team's  returning  stars  anx- 
iously await  the  1991  season. 

"We  can't  win  the  national 
championship  this  season,  so 
we  looked  at  this  game  as 
putting  ourselves  in  a  great 
position  heading  into  next 
year,"  sophomore  corner- 
back  Terrell  Buckley  said. 

Seminole  fans  around  the 
country  were  proud  of  their 
team  and  they  could  only 
hope  that  the  success  of  the 
Florida  State  football  pro- 
gram would  continue  into  the 
following  century.

Volleying  To 


Greater  Heights 


Maggie  Philgence  be- 
gan her  volleyball 
career  at  Florida 
State  when  she 
transferred  from  her  native  St. 
Croix  in  the  Virgin  Islands.  Her 
dream  began  when  her  high 
school  coach  talked  her  into  try- 
ing out  for  the  varsity  team  when 
she  was  a  sophomore.  That  same 
year,  she  also  joined  a  club  team 
called  Onyx.  Through  this  she 
was  able  to  tryout  for  the  Virgin 
Islands  National  team.  Her  team 
had  the  opportunity  to  play 
against  the  United  States,  Can- 
ada, and  Cuba  in  the  NORECA 
Games  in  the  Dominican  Re- 
public. 

Prior  to  her  competitions,  she 
attended  a  volleyball  clinic  given 
by  Flo  Hyman,  a  former  mem- 
ber of  the  silver  medal  1984 
United  States  volleyball  team, 
and  Arie  Selinger,  the  former 
coach  of  the  1984  United  States 
team,  in  St.  Croix.  Flo's  advice 
to  Maggie  was  "look  and  learn." 
Maggie  recalls,  "She  told  me  to 
watch  other  players  and  I  would 
a  lot  from  them  at  this  tourna- 
ment." Selinger  was  positive 
about  her  ability  to  play  ball, 
and  he  urged  her  to  continue 
playing  because  she  had  a 
"natural  talent."  It  was  her  ex- 
perience in  international  compe- 
tition and  positive  words  of  en- 
couragement that  led  Maggie  to 
drop  basketball  and  track  to 
make  volleyball  her  number  one 
sport. 

After  an  MVP  performance 
her  senior  year  in  high  school, 
Maggie  decided  to  attend  Flor- 
ida State  over  San  Jose  State  and 
the  University  of  Tennessee- 
Knoxville.  Coach  Cecile  Rey- 
naud  played  a  very  important 
role  in  Maggie's  decision.  "I 
liked  her  (Coach  Reynaud)  a  lot 
because  she  was  very  easy  to  talk 
to,  so  that  made  my  decision 
easy  when  it  came  down  to  a 
decision  between  Florida  State 
and  San  Jose  State,"  Philgence 
said. 

During  her  freshmen  year  at 
Florida  State  Coach  Reynaud 
described  Maggie  as  "an  impact 
player."  Coach  Reynaud  said, 
"She  comes  on  the  court  and 
makes  exciting  things  happen." 
By  the  end  of  her  freshmen  year, 
she  was  named  the  Metro  Con- 
ference Rookie  of  the  Year,  to 
the   Florida  Eight,   Volleyball 


Monthly,  and  to  the  AVCA  All- 
South  Region  all-tournament 
teams.  Her  sophomore  and  jun- 
ior years  saw  the  same  amount 
of  awards  and  accomplishments. 
"All  of  those  honors  are  very  im- 
portant to  me,  but  the  honor  that 
was  really  special  was  when  I 
broke  Florida  State's  kill  record 
(for  points  earned  for  un- 
returned  spikes)  my  junior 
year,"  Philgence  said. 

This  past  season  as  a  senior 
she  was  one  of  the  team  leaders. 
Unfortunately,  the  team  faced 
some  big  disappointments.  They 
had  lost  the  Metro  Conference, 
which  they  had  won  since  her 
freshmen  year.  The  team  was 
also  given  a  chance  to  become 
the  first  volleyvall  team  in  the 
university's  history  to  make  it 
past  the  first  round  of  the  NCAA 
National  Championship  tourna- 
ment. Sadly  enough,  they  lost  to 
the  University  of  Kentucky  in  a 
hard  fought  four-game  match. 
For  Maggie,  there  were  personal 
disappointments  as  well.  "I  did 
not  expect  to  be  named  a  first 
team  All-American,  but  at  least  I 
thought  that  I  would  be  an  hon- 
orable mention.  After  all,  I  be- 
came only  the  eighth  player  in 
Division  I  volleyball  to  surpass 
the  2,000  kill  mark  in  one's  ca- 
reer. My  senior  wasn't  all  that 
bad.  There  were  a  lot  of  mem- 
orable moments  that  I  will  never 
forget." 

Though  her  memories  are 
grand,  Maggie  realized  that  it 
was  time  to  move  on  if  she  was 
to  accomplish  her  dream  of  be- 
ing an  Olympic  athlete.  In  Jan- 
uary she  tried  out  for  the  United 
States  "B"  team,  but  did  not 
make  it.  Maggie  said, "I  was  very 
upset,  and  I  saw  it  as  a  set  back 
in  my  volleyball  career.  But  now, 
I'm  even  more  determined  to 
prove  that  I  too  can  be  an  Olym- 
pic athlete."  Maggie's  future 
plans  were  to  play  in  the  Eurpoe- 
an  Professional  League  in  the 
fall,  while  checking  into  the  pos- 
sibilities of  playing  in  France, 
Holland,  Norway,  and  Switzer- 
land. Maggie  said,"  I  would  like 
to  play  in  Europe,  preferably 
France,  to  ^ain  some  interna- 
tional experience  and  then  re- 
turn to  the  United  States  to  try- 
out  for  the  Olympic  team. 
Hopefully,  I  would  make  the 
team  the  second  time  around."

Talent  Breeds 

Creativity 


With  an  interesting 
mix  of  veterans 
and  newcomers, 
head  coach  Cecile 
Reynaud  entered  her  1 5th  sea- 
son of  Florida  State  volleyball 
with  a  chance  to  experiment. 
Coach  Reynaud  said,"l  looked 
at  many  options.  They  were 
such  an  interesting  group  that  I 
tried  everyone  at  two  positions 
on  the  floor.  It  added  creativ- 
ity." 

Among  the  five  seniors  on 
the  team  were  Jennifer  Mar- 
rafino,  a  setter,  two  position 
players,  Debbie  Meyer  and 
Marybeth  Sulcliffe,  and  the 
two  1989  AVCA  South  region 
selections  that  posed  an  offen- 
sive and  defensive  threat,  Mag- 
gie Philgence  and  Gabrielle 
Reece. 

Philgence  entered  the  season 
as  the  Division  I  active  kill 
leader  with  1,531  and  Reece, 
closed  in  on  the  1,000  kill 
mark.  Philgence  ended  her  ca- 


reer with  2,110  kills,  placing 
her  at  the  number  five  position 
on  the  NCAA  Division  I  Ca- 
reer Kill  Leaders  list,  while 
Recce's  748  blocks  ranked  fifth 
among  the  career  leaders. 
"Two-thirds  of  our  offense 
went  to  them.  Both  Maggie 
and  Gabby  have  great  jumps 
and  are  hard  to  block.  The  dif- 
ference between  them  is  that 
Gabby  is  intimidating  in  her 
blockmg,  and  Maggie's  bread 
and  butter  is  her  hitting,"  Rey- 
naud said. 

Vicky  Zinkil  and  Amy  Bron- 
son  contributed  160  kills  and 
180  kills,  respectively,  and 
proved  to  be  lethal  near  the 
net.  Coach  Reynaud  said," 
Amy  and  Vicky  were  two  of 
our  most  versatile  players. 
They  could  pick  up  from  any- 
where on  the  court  most  of  the 
lime." 

Junior  Krisline  Cousins 
ranked  second  among  the 
NCAA  conference  leaders  for 


digs,  with  an  average  of  3.36 
per  game. 

Freshmen  newcomers  Jenni- 
fer McCall  and  Brandi  Cumin 
saw  playing  time  as  setters. 
Jennifer  Cichy  and  Bianca  Ste- 
vens made  their  college  debut 
as  outside  hitters  for  the  Lady 
Seminoles. 

In  their  last  season  in  the 
Metro  Conference,  the  Lady 
Seminoles  finished  the  regular 
season  in  second  place.  Their 
sixth  consecutive  Metro  Con- 
ference Tournament  Champi- 
onship was  brought  to  a  halt  by 
the  Louisville  Lady  Cardinals, 
who  won  the  tournament  by 
edging  out  Memphis  State. 

The  season  ended  when  the 
Lady  Seminoles  fell  to  the  Uni- 
versity of  Kentucky  Wildcats 
in  the  first  round  of  the  NCAA 
Tournament.  Their  overall  rec- 
ord was  an  impressive  25-10.

Cheering 

Continues 

Dazzling  Tradtion 


The  university  cheer- 
leaders dazzled  Sem- 
inole fans  and  contin- 
ued to  be  one  of  the  best 
nationally  recognized  squads. 

Varied  audiences  enjoyed 
the  collegiate  cheerleaders  as 
they  illustrated  the  meaning 
of  determination,  perserver- 
ance  and  talent.  A  tremen- 
dous amount  of  hard  work 
and  time  was  contributed  by 
these  students  as  they  sup- 
ported various  athletic  pro- 
grams. 

The  cheerleading  program 
consisted  of  two  squads.  The 
Lady  Seminoles,  or  Junior 
Varsity  squad,  cheered  for  all 
the  women's  home  volleyball 
and  basketball  games.  They 
also  attended  pep  rallies, 
charity  events  and  homecom- 
ing activities. 

The  varsity  cheerleaders 
atttended  all  home  and  most 
away  football  games  as  well 
as  home  basketball  games.  A 
lot  of  pride  was  taken  as  they 
also  exhibited  their  talents  at 
the  bowl  game,  tournaments, 
pep  rallies,  alumni  functions 
and  charity  events. 

"The  schedule  was  busy 
and  very  demanding.  The 
squad  practiced  five  days  a 
week  and  were  required  to  go 
to  cheerleading  camp  over 
the  summer.  It  was  one  of  the 
most  time  consuming  activ- 
ities the  student  has,"  Spirit 
Coordinator  Robin  Jolly 
said. 

Jolly  noted  that  a  cheer- 
leader's first  responsibility 
was  to  his  or  her  academic 
program.  "Their  education 
cannot  be  compromised  by 
participation  in  cheerlead- 
ing," Jolly  said.  All  members 
have  to  be  full-time  students 
and  maintain  a  grade  point 
average  of  at  least  2.0.  Wom- 
en are  required  to  maintain  a 
specific  body  weight,  while 


the  men  sharpened  their 
skills  by  performing  a  mil- 
itary press  of  135  pounds. 

Each  university  cheer- 
leader has  been  recognized 
for  their  talent  and  ability. 
The  cheerleading  tradition 
has  made  a  mark  on  the 
Seminoles  as  it  continued  to 
rank  number  one  in  the 
state  of  Florida. 

The  University  Cheer- 
leading Association  has  la- 
beled the  Seminole  squad  as 
"one  of  the  state's 
sharpest."  With  competi- 
tions state  wide  as  well  as 
nation  wide,  the  squads 
have  demonstrated  what  it 
takes  to  be  the  best. 

Jolly  commented  how  de- 
manding and  time  consum- 
ing the  schedule  of  a  cheer- 
leader really  was.  "It  is  also 
an  extremely  rewarding  and 
enriching  experience." 
Leading  the  crowd  in  "FSU- 
GO"  and  many  other 
chants,  Seminole  cheer- 
leaders continued  to  pro- 
vide the  support  the  athletes 
needed  for  motivation. 

The  university  was  one  of 
the  only  schools  in  the  coun- 
try that  competed  for  the 
National  Championship  in 
all  three  of  the  major  sports. 
Not  only  did  the  Seminole 
cheerleaders  stand  by  these 
winning  programs,  they 
have  dazzled  fans  and  judg- 
es all  over  the  nation.

In  Step  With 
The  Best 


Style,  pizazz  and  energy. 
These  words  described 
the  group  of  talented 
young  women  who  per- 
formed for  crowds  of  Sem- 
inole fans  during  halftime  at 
all  home  basketball  games. 
They  were  also  seen  at  var- 
ious events  such  as  fall  and 
spring  fraternity  rush  parties, 
pep  rallies,  the  homecoming 
parade,  the  annual  Pow  Wow 
celebration  and  at  halftime 
during  at  least  one  of  the 
home  football  games.  Active- 
ly helping  the  Seminole 
boosters,  they  entertained  at 
alumni  functions,  performed 
for  local  charities  and  partic- 
ipated in  various  promotion- 
al events.  This  enthusiastic, 
spirited  dance  team  was 
known  as  the  Golden  Girls. 

The  squad  attended  the 
Universal  Dance  Camp  for  a 
week  over  the  summer.  Here, 
they  enhanced  their  talents  to 
further  excel  their  perfor- 
mances. "We  won  three  tro- 
phies there.  We  took  second 
out  of  our  home  teams,  sec- 
ond in  fight  song,  and  the 
squad  received  an  overall  su- 
perior rating  for  dance  rou- 
tines. I  was  extremely 
proud,"  Captain  Marcy 
Boyas  said. 

For  the  Metro  Conference 
Tournament,  the  ladies  trav- 
elled to  Roanoke,  Virginia 
and  supported  the  Seminoles 
to  victory.  While  they  were 
there,  they  competed  in  the 
Metro  Conference  dance 
competition  and  received  a 
third  place  award  for  Divi-

Hard  work  and  dedication 
paid  off  for  the  Golden  Girls 
when  they  also  ranked  in  the 
top  five  to  be  invited  to  the 
Collegiate  Dance  Team  Na- 
tional Championship.  To  be 
considered  for  this  presti- 
gious event,  they  were  re- 
quired to  submit  a  pre- 
recorded video  tape  of  a  per- 
formance.  Judges  chose 
twelve  squads  out  of  the  nu- 
merous applicants  from  all 
over  the  nation.  Because  of 
their  third  place  ranking, 
they  received  funding  for  the 
trip  to  San  Antonio,  Texas, 
where  the  competition  was 
held.  "This  was  certainly  the 
highlight  of  our  year.  We 
were  so  proud  to  have  had 
this  opportunity,"  Spirit  Co- 
ordinator Robin  Jolly  said. 

Top  colleges  and  universi- 
ties such  as  UCLA,  Texas, 
UNC  Chapel  Hill,  LouisviUe, 
Illinois,  and  Memphis  State 
were  among  the  honored  at 
the  competition.  Florida 
State  was  proud  to  have  tak- 
en fourth  place  honors.  "We 
were  overwhelmed  with  ex- 
citement. Being  a  senior,  it 
was  my  last  opportunity  to 
represent  Florida  State.  Now, 
I  have  some  really  great 
memories,"  Pamela  Maloney 
said. 

Although  a  tremendous 
amount  of  time  and  energy 
was  sacrificed,  the  Golden 
Girls  have  defined  the  mean- 
ing of  a  committment  to  en- 
thusiasm.

Working  Their  Way 
to  the  NCAA 


Most  experts  looked 
at  the  basketball 
season  as  Pat  Ken- 
nedy's most  chal- 
lenging. Not  only  would  his 
team  consist  of  only  three  seni- 
ors, but  it  would  face  one  of  the 
nation's  most  demanding 
schedules.  Included  among  the 
tough  Metro  Conference 
games  were  match-ups  against 
the  preseason  number  one, 
two,  and  three  teams. 

The  squad  approached  the 
season  with  quiet  confidence 
and  found  themselves  on  the 
verge  of  their  third  NCAA 
Tournament  bid  in  four  years. 
Entering  the  season,  senior 
Michael  Polite  was  the  only 
proven  starter.  An  excellent 
rebounder  and  inside  scorer. 
Polite  carried  the  young  team 
until  they  found  themselves. 
Aubry  Boyd,  the  only  other 
starting  senior,  provided  the 
backcourt  scoring  power. 
Sophomore  Rodney  Dobard 
was  penciled  in  at  center  de- 
spite missing  the  first  three 
games  due  to  a  broken  foot. 

The  biggest  question  mark 
for  the  team  was  who  would  be 
at  point  guard.  Freshmen 
Charlie  Ward  took  the  position 
after  his  successful  football 
season  had  ended.  It  was  then 
that  the  young  team  skyrock- 

ZULMA  CRESPO 


eted  past  their  Metro  compet- 
itors. 

Early  in  the  season,  the 
Seminoles  played  inconsistent- 
ly. Impressive  wins  over  Top 
25  teams  La  Salle  and  South 
Florida  contrasted  with  frus- 
trating losses  to  in-state  rival 
Florida  and  Auburn. 

The  Seminoles  managed  a  4- 
2  record  through  the  rocky  sea- 
son setting  up  a  nationally- 
televised  showdown  against 
top-ranked  University  of  Ne- 
vada Los  Vegas.  The  "Duel  in 
the  Desert"  gave  Florida  State 
an  opportunity  to  take  a  huge 
step  in  the  national  ranks. 
However,  the  warriors  weren't 
ready  to  take  this  step.  They 
lost  the  game  109-69  in  front 
of  a  rough  Las  Vegas  crowd. 

In  late  December,  the  Semi- 
noles hit  the  road  for  their  first 
two  Metro  games.  The  tribe 
found  out  that  Tulane  had  dra- 
matically improved  from  the 
previous  year.  After  the  loss, 
they  faced  top-25  ranked 
Southern  Mississippi.  Unfor- 
tunately, the  Seminoles  were 
defeated  and  returned  home. 

The  team  chalked  up  two  big 
conference  wins  against  Cin- 
cinnati and  Louisville.  Their 
success  continued  against  Stet- 
son and  22nd-ranked  South 
Carolina.  The  game  would  be 


one  of  the  season's  best  for  the 
tribe  as  Doug  Edwards  scored 
seven  points  in  overtime  to 
guarantee  an  81-80  win  over 
the  highly  acclaimed  Game- 
cocks. Their  happiness  was 
short  lived  when  the  Seminoles 
lost  to  Arkansas  109-92  and  a 
heartbreaking  loss  to  Memphis 
State  67-66. 

The  seminoles  wasted  no 
time  and  regrouped  to  gain  two 
victories  over  Virginia  Tech 
and  Tulane.  With  a  11-7  rec- 
ord and  5-3  Metro  mark,  the 
Seminoles  turned  towards  the 
NCAA  Tournament  run.  Wins 
over  Alabama  State,  Jackson- 
ville, and  Syracuse  provided 
motivation  as  they  entered  the 
Metro  conference  play  offs. 
The  tribe  struggled,  but  in  the 
end,  captured  their  first  tour- 
nament title.  Florida  State  fin- 
ished the  season  by  accepting  a 
bid  to  the  NCAA  tournament. 
Unfortunately,  the  Seminoles 
lost  in  round  two  of  the  tour- 
nament play.

Charlie  Ward  Helps 

Seminoles  Shine 


The  name  Charlie 
Ward  has  become  sig- 
nificant to  most  bas- 
ketball and  football 
fans  at  Florida  State.  The  tal- 
ented  sophomore  from 
Thomasville,  Georgia  began 
his  athletic  career  as  a  red- 
shirt,  third  string  quarterback 
for  the  Seminoles.  He  also 
started  as  punter  for  the 
Tribe  averaging  37.1  yards 
per  kick  and  ran  the  ball  sev- 
en times  for  21  yards  as  a 
freshman. 

He  decided  to  play  basket- 
ball as  something  to  keep  him 
busy  after  football  season  was 
finished.  Coach  Pat  Kennedy 
was  in  desperate  need  of  a 
starting  point  guard.  Ward 
took  the  position  and  became 
one  of  the  key  players  for  the 
Seminoles.  "I  believed  I 
could  play  well  and  make  a 
contribution  to  the  team.  It's 
always  going  to  be  a  point  of 
pride  for  me  to  look  back  and 
say  I  could  play  two  sports  on 
the  Division  I  level,"  Ward 
said. 

His  athletic  ability  was 
never  in  question.  "We  knew 
about  the  athletic  ability,  but 
it  wasn't  until  the  fourth  or 
fifth  week  of  practice  that  we 
felt  he  would  be  a  contrib- 
utor. He  knows  how  to  find 
the  open  man  and  he  has  in- 
credible instincts.  His  ability 
to  get  out  in  the  transition 
and  get  it  going  is  simply  in- 


credible," Kennedy  said. 

As  a  starter.  Ward  aver- 
aged 11.1  points,  4.7  assists, 
2.7  steals  and  3.7  rebounds 
per  game.  Perhaps  his  most 
fantastic  play  of  the  season 
came  when,  with  only  22  sec- 
onds left,  he  made  a  30  foot 
three  point  shot  to  insure  a 
72-69  Seminole  victory  over 
Louisville  in  the  Metro  Tour- 
nament finals. 

The  only  damper  on 
Ward's  season  was  that  it  was 
probably  his  last.  "I  have  to 
wait  and  talk  to  Coach 
Bowden  about  next  year. 
He'll  have  the  final  say," 
Ward  said.  Since  he  signed  a 
football  scholarship  with 
Florida  State,  Coach  Bobby 
Bowden  had  the  last  word  on 
whether  he  would  be  playing 
basketball  next  season.  He 
said  Charlie  would  have  to 
give  up  basketball  to  compete 
for  the  position  of  quarter- 
back for  the  1992  season 
when  Casey  Weldon  and 
Brad  Johnson  would  have 
used  up  their  eligibility.  "I 
am  pleased  that  Charlie  is  do- 
ing well.  However,  Charlie 
has  to  be  a  fulltime  quarter- 
back next  year,"  Bowden 
said. 

Even  though  he  will  not  be 
a  part  of  the  team  next  year, 
Charlie  Ward's  accomplish- 
ments won't  be  forgotten.

Seminole  Basketball 

SCORES  BIG 


Florida  State  entered 
the  1991  Metro  Con- 
ference Tournament 
as  the  league's  hottest  team. 
After  a  0-2  start  in  Metro 
play,  the  tribe  came  to  Ro- 
anoke, Viginia,  with  a  four 
game  winning  streak. 

Second  ranked  Florida 
state  and  sixth-seeded  South 
Carolina  met  in  the  third 
game  of  the  first  day.  "This 
contest  would  set  the  game  of 
basketball  back  40  years," 
Coach  Pat  Kennedy  said. 
With  10  minutes  remaining 
in  the  first  half,  South  Car- 
olina led  16-10.  By  the  end, 
the  tribe  tied  the  score  at  26. 
The  second  half  was  domi- 
nated by  the  Seminoles  and 
they  held  on  for  a  65-55  win 
in  the  first  round  of  play. 

The  evening  game  matched 
Florida  State  with  Virginia 
Tech.  Chuck  Graham  led  the 
Seminoles  with  23  points  off 
the  bench.   Doug  Edwards 


scored  2 1  points  and  Charlie 
Ward  recorded  10  with  five 
assists  and  five  steals. 

The  easy  91-71  win  over 
Virginia  Tech  set  up  a  show- 
down between  Louisville  and 
the  red-hot  Seminoles  in  the 
finals.  At  the  end  of  the  first 
half,  the  Cardinals  led  45-34. 
The  Seminoles  lagged  behind 
in  the  second  half  and  fell  to 
a  56-36  deficit  with  only 
1 7:08  remaining  on  the  clock. 
Edwards  scored  two  consec- 
utive baskets  to  help  Florida 
State  climb  back  into  the 
game.  Chuck  Graham  added 
two  free  throws  and  a  three- 
pointer  to  set  the  stage  for 
Charlie  Ward.  With  only  22 
seconds  left  to  play.  Ward  de- 
livered a  30  foot  three- 
pointer  to  break  the  69-69  tie 
and  hoisted  the  Seminoles  to 
a  72-69  Metro  Tournament

Seminoles  Have  A 

SMASH  SEASON 


ni3 


The  Lady  Seminole  Bas- 
ketball team  enjoyed  one 
of  their  most  successful 
seasons  in  the  universi- 
ty's history.  The  sharp  shooting 
squad  ended  the  season  with  a  25- 
7  overall  received.  The  mark 
equals  the  Lady  'Noles  all-time 
best  record  and  their  best  record 
under  Head  Coach  Marynell 
Meadors. 

The  Seminoles  were  one  of  the 
highest  scoring  teams  in  the  coun- 
try during  the  90-91  season.  The 
ladies  averaged  just  under  84 
points  per  game  heading  into  the 
NCAA  tournament.  The  team 
broke  the  century  mark  five  times 
and  set  a  new  school  record  for 
most  points  in  a  game  in  its  114-71 
thrashing  of  Stetson  University, 
which  shattered  the  mark  of  1 1 0 
set  earlier  in  the  year  against  Mar- 
quettes.  The  main  reason  for  the 
ladies  high  scoring  games  may 
have  had  something  to  do  with  the 
fact  that  four  starters  shot  better 
than  51  percent  from  the  floor. 
The  Seminole  squad  sat  a  top  the 
team  category  for  field  goal  per- 
centage in  the  NCAA  ratings  of 
March  5th. 

Bragging  rights  seemed  to  be- 
long to  the  Seminoles  experienced 
backcourt  with  All-American  can- 
didate Wanda  Bums  and  Robin 
Com,  but  Com  went  down  with  a 
knee  injury  in  the  second  game  of 
the  season  and  qualified  for  med- 
ical hardship.  It  was  the  duty  of 
sophomore  Danille  Ryan  to  fill  the 
shoes  of  Com  at  the  point  guard 
position.  Ryan  couldn't  have  re- 
sponded with  better  leadership 
qualities  and  talent  when  called 
upon.  Yet,  Ryan  was  modest  when 
she  realized  the  job  before  her,  but 
in  this  case,  Ryan's  actions  over- 
shadowed her  humble  words. 

"At  first  I  knew  it  would  be  a 
tough  job  because  I  had  never 
played  point  guard  before.  It  was  a 
hard  task  to  take  after  Corney 
(Robin  Com),"  Ryan  said. 

With  Ryan  at  the  point,  the 
Seminoles  were  23-5  with  losses  to 
top  ranked  Virginia,  third  rated 
Georgia  Tech,  number  five  Au- 
burn and  South  Carolina. 


Despite  those  tough  losses,  the 
team  rejoiced  in  defeating  the  8th 
ranked  Tigers  of  Louisana  State 
University  in  the  Championship 
game  of  the  Tallahassee  Hilton 
Classic,  89-82.  Other  highlights  of 
the  season  included. 

"It  was  great  to  be  in  the  top  25. 
The  seniors  worked  so  hard  for  it 
and  I  was  glad  to  see  it  happen  for 
them,"  freshmen  Christy  Derlak 
responded. 

The  top  notch  Seminoles  also 
claimed  the  state  championship 
for  the  second  year  in  a  row,  down- 
ing all  four  opponents  from  the 
Sunshine  State. 

Other  milestones  the  Seminoles 
passes,  included  sharing  the  hon- 
ors of  the  regular  season.  Winning 
the  Metro  Conference  title  with 
South  Carolina  and  winning  the 
Metro  Conference  tournament 
championship  for  the  first  time  in 
university  history.  In  return,  the 
Seminoles  made  their  third  ap- 
pearance in  the  NCAA  tourna- 
ment. They  received  an  automatic 
bid  by  winning  the  Metro  and  was 
seeded  fifth  in  the  Mideast  Re- 
gion. In  the  first  round  game,  the 
'Noles  defeated  12th  seed  Appa- 
lachian State  University.  It  was 
the  first  time  the  team  advanced 
past  the  initial  round  in  the  tour- 
nament. Meeting  the  challenging 
team  of  Western  Kentucy  in  the 
second  round,  the  'Noles  stumbled 
and  fell  to  the  Hilltoppers. 

"It  was  great  to  get  past  the  jinx 
of  the  first  round  in  the  tourna- 
ment. It's  a  great  feeling  to  know 
you're  going  to  advance  in  such  a 
prestigious  tournament,"  senior 
Kelli  Test  said. 

Although  the  Lady  Seminole 
season  ended  in  the  second  round, 
the  bright  future  of  the  team  was 
just  in  its  beginning  stages.  In  ad- 
dition to  the  return  of  nine  players 
out  of  13,  plus  a  talented  group  of 
sex  early  signees,  the  'Noles  began 
play  in  the  tradition  rich  ACC. 
The  Lady  Seminole  basketball 
team  can  boast  of  a  successfu  rec- 
ord and  the  ruling  of  their  last  sea- 
son in  the  Metro  conference.

Seminoles 
Make  A 

FIRST  AND  LAST 


They  were  holding  a 
dream  in  their  hands. 
They  were  the  first 
ones  to  ever  capture 
their  desires  and  hold  it  high  in 
the  sky;  the  first  team  in  the 
history  of  the  university,  at 
least.  As  Head  Coach  Marynell 
Meadors  watched  her  Lady 
Seminole  basketball  team  ac- 
cept the  trophy  for  becoming 
the  1991  Metro  Conference 
champions. 

'T  can't  tell  you  how  hard 
they  worked  for  this," 
Meadors  said. 

No  one  may  be  able  to  ex- 
press just  how  much  determi- 
nation and  desire  the  Lady 
Seminoles  had  to  have  in  their 
hearts  and  minds  to  capture 
the  Metro  Conference  tourna- 
ment for  the  first  time  in  the 
university's  history.  Although 
it  did  take  hours  of  practice 
pushed  by  a  dream. 

That  dream  began  when  the 
Seminoles  reached  a  Metro 
Conference  record  of  12-2  in 
the  regular  season.  In  return, 
the  'Noles  were  places  as  the 
second  seed  in  the  tournament, 
but  only  by  chance.  The  Lady 
Seminoles  tied  with  South  Car- 
olina for  the  regular  season 
conference  title  and  as  a  result 
had  to  flip  a  coin  to  determine 
the  top  seed  of  the  tournament. 

The  Lady  Seminoles  ripped 
through  their  first  two  games 
rompmg  Cincinatti  89-51  and 
Louisville  83-70.  The  Semi- 
poles  found  themselves  in  the 
final  game  facing  the  old  but 
familiar  South  Carolina.  The 
Gamecocks  finished  their  sea- 
son 22-8,  while  the  Seminoles 
ended  24-6. 

With  the  help  of  a  tenacious 
defense  and  a  come-from- 
behind  offensive  effort,  the 
Lady  Seminoles  won  the 
Championship  in  its  last  year 
in  the  Metro  Conference  be- 
fore heading  for  the  Atlantic 


Coast  Conference.  They 
earned  the  title  by  a  single 
point  with  a  54-53  victory  over 
the  Gamecocks  before  220  fans 
in  the  Commonwealth  Con- 
vention Center  in  Lexington, 
Kentucky. 

The  victory  was  as  tough  as 
everyone  expected.  The  Lady 
Gamecock's  Karen  Middleton, 
who  had  four  3-pointers  and 
guard  Lori  Joyner,  who  fin- 
ished with  19  points,  did 
everything  possible  to  put  a 
stop  to  the  driving  force  of 
Florida  State. 

Part  of  that  driving  force  in- 
cluded the  tournament's  Most 
Valuable  Player,  Wanda 
Burns.  Burns  lead  all  Seminole 
scores  but  she  said  that  her  sta- 
tistics were  just  a  small  part  of 
her  game  plan. 

"I've  tried  this  season  to  bal- 
ance my  individual  stats  and 
skills  with  the  team's  goals  and 
I  think  I've  done  that  pretty 
well.  I  didn't  try  to  go  out  and 
get  the  big  stats  every  game 
because  I  wanted  the  team  to 
be  first.  I  just  tried  to  be  con- 
sistent in  every  game,"  Burns 
said. 

The  memory  of  being  the 
first  team  to  win  the  Metro 
Championships  was  a  goal  of 
many  of  the  seniors  on  the 
squad. 

'Tt's  something  I'll  never 
forget.  Every  year  I've  been 
here,  one  of  our  goals  has  been 
to  win  the  championships. 
Winning  it  my  senior  year 
gives  me  a  sense  of  accom- 
plishment and  completeness," 
Kelli  Test  said. 

The  team  reached  many 
milestones  during  the  91  sea- 
son. One  of  the  most  memo- 
rable was  winning  the  Metro 
title  for  the  first  time  in  their 
last  year  before  starting  ACC 
play.

Diving  To 
Greater  Heights 


Aquatic  sports  at  the 
university  were  on  a 
definite  upswing. 
The  women's  team  took  the 
Metro  Conference  champi- 
onship and  the  men's  team 
broke  five  school  records  and 
placed  at  least  seven  swim- 
mers in  the  NCAA  champi- 
onships held  in  Austin,  Tex- 
as. 

The  Lady  Seminoles  swim 
team  fought  off  many  set- 
backs in  bringing  their  season 
to  dramatic  finish.  First,  two 
swimmers  left  the  team  just 
after  the  recruiting  deadline 
passed.  Then,  senior  Kathy 
Isackson,  winner  of  two 
events  at  the  1990  Metro 
championship,  had  to  bow 
out  early  in  the  season.  Later, 
Anne  Spaeder  and  Valerie 
Moore  were  both  sidelined 
with  shoulder  injuries. 

Coach  Marian  Cassidy's 
team  had  a  tough  season. 
Still,  the  Lady  Seminoles 
came  into  the  Metro  Confer- 
ence with  their  chins  up. 
However,  Florida  State  start- 
ed the  last  day  of  the  tour- 
nament with  a  34-point  def- 
icit between  them  and  the 
front-runner  South  Carolina. 

The  picture  changed  as  the 
Seminole  squad  pulled  out  a 
one-two  finish  on  the  last  leg 
of  the  200  meter  butterfly. 
They  also  grabbed  a  last- 
second  victory  in  the  200  me- 
ter breaststroke.  Florida 
State's  frenzied  perfor- 
mances pared  with  the  Lady 
Gamecocks  lead  to  one  point 
going  into  the  final  event,  the 
400  meter  freestyle  relay. 

In  the  final  event,  the  Lady 
Seminoles  edged  the  Lady 

Executing  a  perfect  en- 
trance into  the  water  from 
the  board,  the  Lady  Sem- 
inole Dive  team  overwhelmed  the 
Lady  Gators  once  again. 


Gamecocks  by  a  hundreth  of 
a  second.  It  was  enough  to 
win  the  race  and  the  Metro 
Conference  title. 

Though  the  men's  season 
wasn't  as  dramatic  as  the 
women's,  they  still  enjoyed  a 
successful  year.  With  a 
school-record  seven  entries 
in  the  NCA  championships, 
the  Seminoles  staked  their 
claim  as  a  rising  powerhouse. 

Captained  by  seniors  Char- 
lie Rose  and  Craig  Zettle,  the 
men's  team  broke  five  school 
records  this  season.  They  also 
beat  everyone  but  16th 
ranked  South  Carolina  in  the 
Metro  Conference  champi- 
onships. Rose  holds  four 
school  records,  two  each  in 
individual  and  team  events, 
while  Zettle  holds  one  school 
record.  Zettle  also  holds 
back-to-back  titles  in  the  1 00 
meter  breaststroke  at  the 
Metro  Championships.  At 
the  Metro,  the  men  knocked 
off  the  South  Carolina  squad 
in  the  800  meter  freestyle  re- 
lay for  the  first  time  in  five 
years.  Diver  Paul  Spray  won 
the  Metro  Diver  of  the  Year 
award,  and  hoped  to  make  a 
big  impression  at  the 
NCAA's  in  Austin. 

The  Seminole  swim  and 
dive  program  produced  more 
than  just  able  bodies.  Twen- 
ty-five of  these  men  and 
women  made  at  least  a  3.0 
grade-point  average,  with 
about  half  of  them  topping  a 
3.5.  The  water  sports  pro- 
gram boasts  more  scholar- 
athletes  than  any  other  sport 
on  campus.  With  those  kinds 
of  numbers,  the  coaching 
staff  of  Terry  Maul,  Sid  Cas- 
sidy.  Bill  Shults,  Gary  Cole, 
and  Marian  Cassidy  can  cer- 
tainly be  proud  of  their  ath- 
letes.

Exhibiting  A  Sense 
Of  Enthusiasm 


The  men's  tennis  team 
was  faced  with  a  sea- 
son of  change  and  in- 
centives. David  Barron  be- 
came the  squad's  new  coach 
as  he  exhibited  a  new  sense  of 
enthusiasm. 

A  graduate  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Central  Florida  Com- 
munity College  and  a  Junior 
College  National  Champion, 
Barron  took  the  team  over  in 
August.  His  love  for  tennis 
was  shown  in  his  coaching 
methods. 

During  the  fall  the  men 
had  good  turnouts  in  Athens 
at  the  Southern  Collegiate 
and  in  Gainesville  at  the 
Barnett  Bank  Classic.  It  was 
at  the  Barnett  Bank  Classic 
that  Stephen  Noteboom  tast- 
ed his  first  victory  by  win- 
ning the  men's  singles. 

"Experience  is  one  trait 
this  team  is  not  lacking," 
Barron  said. 

Five  of  the  nine  players  on 
the  team  were  seniors,  in- 
cluding Chris  Durham.  Dur- 
ham saw  more  action  than  in 
previous  seasons.  As  a  soph- 
omore he  posted  a  5-6  singles 
record,  winning  five  of  his 
first  seven  matches. 

A  noticeable  change  that 
affected  the  team  was  when 
Florida  State  joined  the  At- 


lantic Coast  Conference. 
Competitors  for  the  92  sea- 
son included  Duke,  Virginia, 
Wake  Forest,  Georgia  Tech, 
Clemson,  the  University  of 
Maryland,  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  and  North 
Carolina  State. 

With  the  increased  compe- 
tition came  increased  facil- 
ities. Plans  were  approved  for 
the  construction  of  a  new  ten- 
nis complex  that  would  house 
eight  lighted  courts  and  a 
viewing  stadium.  The  courts 
were  expected  to  be  complet- 
ed by  the  spring  of  1 992. 

"Florida  State's  tradition 
in  academics  and  athletics 
has  always  been  the  main  at- 
traction for  students'  and 
their  parents.  Now  the  new 
tennis  complex  will  demon- 
strate the  willingness  of  the 
university  to  excel  in  their  fa- 
cilities as  well,"  Barron  said. 

The  team  was  also  awarded 
Florida  State's  sport  academ- 
ic award.  The  award  was  giv- 
en to  the  men's  team  with  the 
highest  grade  point  average 
derived  from  the  previous 
spring  and  fall  cumulative 
gpa.  This  was  the  third  year 
that  the  men's  tennis  team 
claimed  the  award.

Setting  A 
Reachable  Goal 


Five  returning  veterans 
and  three  newcomers 
set  the  pace  for  the 
Lady  Seminole  tennis  team. 

"This  team's  strength  was 
depth  and  versatility,"  Coach 
Patti  Henderson  said. 

The  Lady  Seminoles  took 
on  the  number  two  ranked 
Lady  Gators,  Duke,  North 
Carolina,  and  Wake  Forest. 
They  also  saw  action  against 
strong  SEC  squads.  Louisi- 
ana State,  Alabama,  Missis- 
sippi State,  Rice,  Houston 
and  Trinity  created  havoc  for 
the  determined  team. 

Leading  the  Lady  Semi- 
noles were  seniors  Buffy  Ba- 
ker and  Ann  Waggoner.  Ba- 
ker became  one  of  the 
university's  finest,  with  a  ca- 
reer high  of  25  victories  over 
a  period  of  three  consecutive 
years.  Waggoner,  an  All- 
Metro  player  and  transfer 
from  Tennessee,  put  her  best 
foot  forward  and  helped  lead 
the  Lady  Seminoles  to  vic- 
tory. 

Returning  juniors  Nicky 
Ivy  and  Chrissie  Tee  provid- 
ed many  valuable  points  be- 
hind the  lead  of  the  two  seni- 
ors.  Sophomore  Laura 
Sarkhaliti  returned  to  the 
courts  after  a  few  injuries  sus- 
tained in  the  beginning  of  the 
89-90  season. 

The  newcomers  to  the 
team  were  freshmen  Audra 
Brannon,  junior  Robin 
Cifaldi  and  freshmen  Jenni- 
fer Hyde.   Brannon  was 


ranked  in  the  top  75  nation- 
ally, while  Cifaldi  hailed 
from  rival  Trinity  and  boast- 
ed a  fifth  place  ranking  with 
the  Eastern  Tennis  Associa- 
tion. Jennifer  Hyde  added  to 
the  doubles  defense  and  daz- 
zled spectators  with  her 
young  expertise. 

The  team's  number  one 
goal  was  to  leave  the  Metro 
Conference  Championship  as 
winners.  "Since  it's  our  last 
year  in  the  conference,  I  want 
the  girls  to  take  the  title.  They 
deserve  it  for  how  hard 
they've  worked,"  Henderson 
said. 

The  team  reached  their 
goal  by  defeating  South  Car- 
olina 46-42  and  captured  the 
prestigious  crown. 

Along  with  the  rest  of  the 
athletic  programs  at  the  uni- 
versity, the  ladies'  tennis 
team  joined  the  Atlantic 
Coast  Conference. 

"I  am  excited  about  joining 
the  country's  most  presti- 
gious athletic  and  academic 
conference.  It  has  given  us 
eight  new  rivals  and  they  will 
provide  a  real  challenge  for 
us.  It  will  definitely  be  in- 
teresting to  see  who  comes 
out  on  top,"  Henderson  said. 

With  the  energy  and  deter- 
mination dislpayed  by  the 
Lady  Seminoles,  focusing  on 
the  upcoming  ACC  rivalries 
was  not  an  unreasonable 
task.

Relaying  A  Sense 
Of  Achievement 


A  steady  group  of  re- 
turnees and  a  great 
recruiting  class  made 
the  Men's  Track  team  a  fa- 
vorite among  the  Metro  Con- 
ference tournament  compet- 
itors. The  Seminoles 
defended  their  14  consecu- 
tive conference  titles  with  en- 
thusiasm and  pride.  This 
Metro  tournament  was  the 
last  the  men  would  compete 
in  because  they  joined  the  At- 
lantic Coast  Conference, 
along  with  the  other  16  var- 
sity sports  on  campus. 

The  men  endured  a  hard 
regular  season  schedule  by 
competing  in  and  hosting  the 
Snow  Bird  Open,  the  Relays 
and  the  Seminole  Twilight 
meets.  They  also  tackled  Col- 
orado, North  Carolina,  Illi- 
nois, and  Florida  A  &  M  Uni- 
versity in  a  grueling  four  way 
meet. 

Chris  Sloan,  Darren  Nutt, 
Tom  Gerrets,  and  John 
Rothell  made  an  immediate 
impact  on  the  hurdle  event 
when  they  left  their  oppo- 
nents in  the  dust. 

Junior  Jason  Frank  and 
sophomore  Rob  Circelli  led 
the  Seminoles  in  the  middle 
and  long  distance  runs.  Fol- 
lowing close  behind  were 
Mark  Bednarz  and  newcom- 
ers Philip  Healy  and  Micheal 
Hampton. 

Metro  javelin  champion 
Chris  Keen  and  versatile  Eric 
Chambers  paired  up  with  Ail- 
American  Scott  Peterson  to 
put  a  stop  to  their  compe- 
tition. 

Jumpers  and  top  returnees 
James  Milton  and  Kevin 
Crist  gave  admirable  perfor- 
mances, while  Kelsey  Nash 
mastered  the  triple  jump.  "I 
will  be  surprised  if  Milton 
isn't  a  national  quahfier  in 
both  indoor  and  outdoor 
events,"  Coach  Terry  Long 
said.  Matthew  Terry  and  Art 


Nelson  also  contributed  to 
the  overall  expertise  of  the 
jumpers.  The  Seminoles  de- 
feated their  Metro  rivals  to 
win  their  title  as  champions. 

With  nine  returning  All- 
Americans  to  the  Lady  Semi- 
noles Track  team,  high  expec- 
tations were  set  for  a  Metro 
tournament  title.  "Our  talent 
level  was  excellent,"  Long 
said.  The  lady  Seminoles  per- 
servered  and  became  the  vic- 
tors in  the  tournament. 

Sophomore  Patrice  Ver- 
dun joined  freshmen  Natalie 
Douglas,  Tracey  Ray,  and 
Sheryl  Covington  for  the  daz- 
zling performances  of  the 
sprint  and  relay  teams.  Aun- 
drea  Lyons,  Angela  Harris, 
and  Carmellia  Shivers  helped 
out  with  the  1,600m  relay 
event. 

The  hurdles  event  was 
based  primarily  on  the  scor- 
ing ability  of  Kim  Batten.  She 
had  already  set  a  school  rec- 
ord in  the  100m  hurdles  and 
challenged  the  national  titles 
in  each  of  her  events. 
Carmellia  Shivers,  Candi 
Odom,  and  Kim  Mann  added 
stunning  perfomances  and 
amazing  depths  to  these 
areas. 

The  3,200m  relay  team  was 
ranked  sixth  in  the  national 
polls.  Carrie  Boyd,  Angela 
Harris,  Tracy  Howze,  and 
Karla  Severs  proved  to  be 
quite  competitive  against  all 
of  their  opponents  and  once 
again  hoisted  the  Lady  Semi- 
noles to  greater  heights. 

Tonya  Grannemann  re- 
turned to  head  the  Lady 
Seminoles.  Heidi  Hargett 
contributed  her  javelin  expe- 
rience to  the  team.  Kim 
Mann  was  the  top  returnee 
after  placing  third  in  the  Met- 
ro conference  the  previous 
season.

Wasn't  It  A 
Striking  Season 

: 


llorida  State's  roster 
included  15  newcom- 
ers, four  returning 
players,  as  well  as  four  re- 
turning pitchers.  Head  coach 
Mike  Martin  relied  on  untest- 
ed talent  in  crucial  situations. 
His  squad  faced  one  of  the 
toughest  schedules  in  their 
history.  "Our  schedule  this 
year  was  as  tough  as  any  in 
the  nation,"  Martin  said. 

There  were  ten  games  with 
in-state  rivals  Miami,  who 
were  ranked  4th,  and  Florida, 
ranked  17th.  Three  schedule 
features  were  the  preseason 
games  with  number  one 
ranked  Arizona  State.  Other 
ranked  teams  on  the  schedule 
were  Arizona,  Michigan, 
Louisiana  State,  Minnesota, 
Southern  Miss,  and  South 
Carolina. 

"This  was  interesting  be- 
cause it  was  one  of  the  few 
years  in  my  12  years  that  we 
didn't  have  a  lot  of  experi- 
ence on  the  mound.  We'll  be 
counting  heavily  on  some 
young  pitchers,"  Martin  said. 

Fortunately,  Martin  had 
four  returning  hurtlers  which 
included  Freshmen  All- 
Americans  Roger  Bailey  and 
Chris  Roberts,  who  were 
starters.  The  third  and  fourth 
starting  positions  were  in 
competition  between  new- 
comers Jimmy  Lewis,  Kenny 
Robinson  and  LaWhit 
Lizzmore.  Freshmen  John 
Wasdin  and  Bryan  Harris 
also  vied  for  the  positions. 

Ricky  Kimball  returned  as 
the  Seminoles'  relief  ace.  Tim 
Davis  served  as  back  up  re- 
lief. California  native  Bobby 
Femandes  contributed  as  an 
important  starter.  The  fresh- 


men trio,  Jeff  Tibbitts,  David 
Schumacher,  John  McNeese 
and  sophomore  John  Nedeau 
were  tested  as  reliefs  as  well. 

On  the  offense,  the  leading 
returnee  was  junior  second 
basemen  Allen  Bevis.  First 
basemen  Eduardo  Perez  and 
catcher  Pedro  Grifol.  At 
third  base,  Nandy  Serrano 
checked  in.  Link  Jarrett  and 
Tony  Liebsack  gave  their  all 
at  shortstop, 

Kenny  Felder  was  the  start- 
er in  left  field.  Along  with 
Chris  Roberts,  they  were  the 
power  threat  of  Florida  State. 

Defense  was  the  strength  of 
the  players  who  started  in 
center  and  right  fields.  Gar- 
rett Blanton  received  the  cen- 
terfield  position.  In  right 
field  was  Chris  Brock.  With 
the  combination  of  Brock, 
Blanton  and  Roberts,  the 
team  had  an  excellent  defen- 
sive outfield. 

Three  catchers,  Jon  Bolin, 
Marc  Dunbar,  and  Michele 
Bertoldi  played  behind 
Grifol  because  of  their  lack  in 
experience.  Ty  Mueller  and 
Terrell  Buckley  backed  up 
the  Blanton,  Brock,  Felaer, 
and  Roberts  foursome.  Walk- 
on  Sid  Cash  also  backed  up 
Perez. 

The  Seminoles  entered  the 
season  ranked  1 2th,  The  pre- 
vious season  saw  them  daz- 
zling the  experts  and  surpris- 
ing everyone  with  a  fantastic 
tournament  record.  With  the 
experience  and  talent  that  the 
Seminoles  possessed,  another 
championship  title  was  just 
around  the  comer.

Routing 
The  Rival 


The  Seminoles  jumped 
to  a  5-0  lead  and 
hung  on  to  complete 
a  two-game  sweep  of  Florida 
with  a  5-3  victory  at  Dick 
Howser  Stadium.  Florida 
State  heightened  their  record 
to  17-3,  while  the  Gators 
tumbled  to  11-9. 

"We  did  the  little  things 
like  bunting  and  running  the 
bases  well  today.  That's  what 
did  it  for  us,"  coach  Mike 
Martin  said. 

Chris  Roberts  was  assigned 
the  starting  pitcher  and  the 
designated  hitter  positions. 
"Chris  did  most  of  the  work 
for  us  today  with  the  bat  and 
his  arm,"  Martin  said.  Rob- 
erts pitched  7  1/3  innings, 
giving  up  a  mere  seven  hits 
and  three  runs.  He  also  went 
3  for  3  with  a  double  and  an 
RBI. 

"It  was  a  great  day  for  me. 
That's  why  coach  Martin  let 
me  pitch  and  hit.  He  feels  I 
can  do  those  things  well," 
Roberts  said. 

In  the  first  inning,  Roberts 
singled  then  scored  on  Gator 
pitcher,  Jason  Beaird's  sec- 
ond error,  giving  the  Semi- 
noles a  1-0  lead. 

In  the  third,  the  Seminoles 


chalked  up  two  more  on  an 
Edwardo  Perez  ground  out 
and  for  a  Robert's  double. 

Nandy  Serrano,  Seminole 
third  baseman,  who  went  3 
for  4,  singled  in  the  fifth  to  a 
5-0  lead. 

The  Gators  counteracted 
with  a  score  in  the  seventh, 
and  Florida  third  baseman 
Herbert  Perry  hit  his  second 
home  run  of  the  series  in  the 
eighth  to  tighten  a  5-2  mar- 
gin. 

John  Nedeau  relieved  Rob- 
erts in  the  ninth  and  closed 
out  the  rest  of  the  game. 
"John  did  an  outstanding 
job.  We  have  confidence  in 
him  and  he  answered,"  Mar- 
tin said. 

Saturday's  game  score  was 
8-3  with  a  commendable  per- 
formance by  reliever  Tim 
Davis.  Davis  pitched  five  in- 
nings, giving  away  only  two 
hits  and  striking  five  out  for 
the  win. 

"We  had  a  lot  of  help  from 
Florida  errors.  The  Gators 
are  still  a  good  ballclub.  I'm 
extremely  pleased  with  the 
way  we've  played,"  Martin 
said.

Rice  Catches  A 
New  Attitude 


Warm  breezes,  sun- 
ny afternoons,  the 
smell  of  hot  dogs 
and  popcorn 
meant  only  one  thing,  base- 
ball and  Softball  seasons  were 
in  full  swing  once  again.  For 
the  Lady  Seminoles,  the  sea- 
son was  bittersweet.  Senior 
catcher  JuHe  Rice  developed 
a  whole  new  perspective 
about  her  career  as  a  softball 
player  and  she  attributed  it  to 
the  knee  injury  she  suffered 
last  year. 

Rice  had  been  the  starting 
catcher  for  the  Lady  Semi- 
noles since  her  freshman  year 
in  1987.  Her  statistics  and 
playing  abilities  had  steadily 
increased  every  year.  She 
earned  the  honor  of  being  the 
team  captain  and  was  chosen 
as  a  member  to  the  second 
team  in  the  All-South  region. 
However,  Rice's  story  was 
not  one  to  be  bombarded 
with  statistical  figures. 

Rice  admitted  that  softball 
was  a  major  area  in  her  Ufe 
before  her  knee  injury.  Dur- 
ing the  summer  of  1 990,  Rice 
had  to  stay  in  Tallahassee  for 
rehabilitation.  "Nobody  was 
here  over  the  summer.  After 
rehab  I  would  go  home  and 
have  a  lot  of  time  on  my 
hands,"  Rice  said.  She  used 
that  extra  time  to  reflect  on 
her  attitude  towards  softball. 
She  knew  that  she  would  be- 
come a  different  kind  of  play- 
er. 

"This  year  was  different. 
When  we  played  the  other 
teams,  I  didn't  think  about 
how  many  runs  I  had,  or  how 
I  was  doing.  I  didn't  think 
about  how  we  were  executing 
as  a  team.  I  just  tried  to  do 
my  best  for  the  team,"  Rice 
said. 

The  knee  injury  slowed  her 
down  when  she  ran  the  bases, 
but  another  injury  to  the 
shoulder  also  hindered  her 
throwing  ability  on  the  dia- 
mond.  She  felt  that  some- 


times her  shoulder  affected 
her  more  than  her  knee.  It 
managed  to  knock  her  out  of 
the  starting  Hne  for  half  of  the 
games.  She  was  behind  the 
plate  when  second  string  sen- 
ior catcher  Lora  Migliaccio 
received  the  pitches  from 
Christy  Larsen. 

"Lora  gets  to  catch  now, 
too.  She  never  got  much  play- 
ing time  and  she  has  been 
practicing  and  going  to  games 
just  as  long  as  I  have.  It's 
really  great  to  see  her  catch. 
I'm  really  happy  for  her," 
Rice  said. 

The  unselfish  attitude  of 
Rice  had  been  noticed  by  her 
teammates.  Senior  outfielder 
Becky  Harrison  said,  "Her 
outlook  on  softball  is  a  lot 
different  from  last  year.  It 
doesn't  matter  to  her  so 
much  anymore.  A  lot  of  her 
attitude  change  has  to  do 
with  her  injury,  but  God 
played  a  part  too." 

Rice  spent  most  of  her 
spare  time  reading  the  Bible 
during  her  rehabilitative 
summer.  She  believed  that 
her  injury  slowed  her  down 
for  a  purpose.  It  not  only 
changed  her  view  of  the 
sport,  but  it  also  made  her 
look  at  her  educational  goals. 

Rice  was  a  nutritional  fit- 
ness major  and  she  planned 
to  go  to  a  physical  therapy 
school  somewhere  in  her 
hometown  of  Washington. 
She  was  always  unsure  of  her 
future  goals,  but  eventually, 
Rice  decided  to  pursue  a  ca- 
reer in  physical  therapy. 

Head  softball  coach 
Joanne  Graf  still  looked  for 
Julie  Rice  to  be  a  strong  asset 
to  her  team,  despite  her  in- 
juries. 

"Julie  got  stronger  when 
her  knee  got  back  into  shape. 
She's  a  great  member  of  our 
team,"  Graf  said.

Playing 
As  A  Team 


Senior  Christy  Larsen 
had  too  much  athletic 
ability  and  talent  to 
put  her  in  one  place  on  the 
field.  Larsen  played  first,  sec- 
ond and  third  base,  but  she 
showed  tremendous  strength 
in  her  pitching  abilities. 
Coach  Graf  placed  her  on  the 
mound  with  one  condition, 
that  she  would  assume  a  lead- 
ership position.  Larsen  had 
been  called  a  utility  player, 
but  now  her  teammates  were 
calling  her  a  leader. 

"She's  our  leader  when 
she's  on  the  field.  She  says 
stuff  to  pump  us  up.  She's 
also  a  good  pitcher,  so  we  fol- 
low her  when  we're  on  the 
field,"  Susan  Buttery,  soph- 
omore outfielder  said. 

Larsen  didn't  really  see 
herself  as  a  leader.  "I  guess  I 
show  leadership  on  the  field, 
but  I  really  don't  show  it  off 
the  field." 

Nevertheless,  her  team- 
mates saw  her  as  an  incred- 
ible athlete  and  they  also 
looked  to  her  for  guidance. 
Larsen  attributed  most  of  her 
abilities  to  her  team. 

"I've  seen  so  much  team- 
work this  season  that  I  be- 


Intense  concentration  shows 
on  the  face  of  outfielder  Su- 
san Buttery,  as  she  prepares  to 
swing  at  an  oncoming  pitch 
against  Drexel  University. 


lieve  that  the  togetherness  of 
the  team  has  brought  out  the 
best  in  me.  We're  better  than 
last  year  because  we  play  as  a 
team,"  she  said. 

Catcher  Julie  Rice,  who 
was  Larsen's  teammate  for 
four  years,  said  she  has  seen 
an  improvement  in  her  atti- 
tude throughout  the  years. 
"Christy  is  more  of  a  leader 
now  than  in  the  past.  She  has 
matured  a  lot  since  her  fresh- 
men year.  She  takes  care  of 
herself  off  the  field  too.  She's 
much  more  team  oriented." 

The  closeness  of  the  team 
excited  Larsen  because  she 
believed  that  cohesiveness 
was  the  key  to  the  Lady  Semi- 
noles  team.  Larsen  was  a  key 
to  the  team's  success.  She 
pitched  1 5  shut-outs  and  four 
no-hitters  last  year  and  at  the 
close  of  the  regular  season, 
she  was  second  in  the  nation 
averaging  7.9  strikeouts  per 
seven  innings. 

Coach  Graf  was  satisfied 
with  her  selection  to  position 
Larsen  on  the  mound.  She 
proved  to  be  a  strong  pitcher 
and  vocal  leader.

Developing 

Confidence 

And  Strength 


Superiority  reigned  for 
the  Men's  Golf  Team 
as  they  exemplified  a 
dominant  drive  in  their  sea- 
son's tournaments.  The  sea- 
son started  with  a  team  com- 
posed of  12  freshmen,  one 
sophomore,  two  juniors,  and 
two  seniors.  With  a  predom- 
inantly new  squad,  the  Semi- 
noles  worked  hard  to  rebuild 
and  reload. 

The  men  placed  first  in  the 
Forest  Hills  Invitational,  sec- 
ond in  the  Florida  State  In- 
tercollegiate and  fourth  in  th 
South  East  Intercollegiate  as 
well  as  the  Budget  UCF  Clas- 
sic. 

Senior  Christian  Williams, 
an  AU-American  candidate, 
exhibited  his  expertise  as  he 
joined  forces  with  senior  An- 
thony Ballestero  and  junior 
Dustin  Phillips  in  the  provi- 
sion of  leadership  for  their 
teammates. 

Coach  Verlyn  Giles  expect- 
ed his  team  to  gain  experi- 
ence with  each  tournament. 
"The  talent  of  the  young 
players,  along  with  the  guid- 
ance of  the  elder  golfers  will 
allow  the  squad  to  develop 
confidence  and  strength  as 


the  season  progressed,"  he 
said. 

The  team's  success  on  the 
national  level  was  coupled 
with  the  success  in  the  Metro 
Conference  as  Giles  led  his 
squad  to  titles  in  1 1  of  the  1 2 
seasons.  The  Seminoles 
earned  their  first  NCAA  bid 
since  1983. 

The  Men's  golf  roster  read 
as  follows:  Anthony  Balles- 
tero, Chris  Cavanagh,  Bobby 
Cochran,  Jason  Doyle,  Chad 
Eunice,  Corey  Hamlin,  Da- 
vid Holt,  Chip  Johnson,  Mat- 
thew Koff,  Dustin  Phillips, 
Christian  Raynor,  Daniel 
Read,  Keith  Rick,  Kenneth 
Staton,  Dennis  Tymosko, 
Christian  Williams,  and 
Tony  Ziegler. 

Placing  many  Seminole 
golfers  in  the  pros,  coach 
Giles  led  a  program  boasting 
many  winners  on  both  the 
Ladies  Professional  Golf  As- 
sociation and  the  Profession- 
al Golf  Association  tours. 

Overall,  the  team  was  des- 
tined to  an  outstanding  per- 
formance.

Playing  With 
Pride  And  Intensity 


Ihey're  young, 
but  very  com- 
petitive. The 
team  has  played  with  a  lot  of 
pride  and  intensity,  which 
are  two  key  ingredients  to  a 
winning  season,"  Debbie 
Miles-Dillman,  coach  of  the 
Women's  Golf  team,  said. 

Traveling  to  Las  Cruces, 
New  Mexico,  the  Lady  'Noles 
participated  in  the  Diet 
Coke/Lady  Roadrunner  Invi- 
tational and  ranked  third. 
Emma  Rundle  proved  her 
talent  of  consistency  as  she 
became  the  co-individual 
champion  of  the  tournament. 

The  Lady  Seminoles  were 
proudly  ranked  fifth  in  the 
country,  with  four  of  their 
players  as  top  contenders  in 
the  top  1 00  golfers  in  the  na- 
tion. Erica  Fimhaber  contin- 
ued to  dazzle  coaches,  team- 
mates and  opponents  as  she 
won  the  Illinois  State  Ama- 
teur in  June.  She  also  led  her 
teammates  in  the  annual 
Lady  Seminole  Invitational 
and  the  Beacon  Woods  In- 
vitational. 

Named  player  of  the  year 
at  her  high  school,  Emma 
Rundle  brilliantly  portrayed 
her  skills  in  every  tourna- 
ment. Last  year  she  placed  in 
the  top  20  in  eight  of  Florida 
State's  tournaments. 

Maria  Castelucci  was  dis- 
tinguished as  a  two-time 
American  Junior  Golf  Asso- 
ciation Woodlands  Champi- 
on and  was  a  top  candidate 
for  the  AJGA  Player  of  the 
Year.   She  was  the  leader 


when  the  Lady  Seminoles  po- 
sitioned first  in  the  FlU-Pat 
Bradley  Invitational. 

Labeled  as  one  of  the  most 
disciplined  players  on  the 
golf  course,  Canadian  Marie- 
Josee  Rouleau  rounded  out 
the  top  four  qualifiers.  Rou- 
leau had  served  as  the  Que- 
bec junior  team  captain  as 
well  as  a  national  team  mem- 
ber for  the  Canadian  Ladies 
Golf  Association. 

Mary  Lee  Cobick  contin- 
ued to  perfect  her  abilities  as 
she  returned  to  the  Lady 
Seminoles  with  Rundle  as 
one  of  the  two  elder  team 
members.  "Mary  Lee  is  a 
very  solid  player  and  is  a 
guaranteed  top  five  player  on 
a  nationally  ranked  team," 
Coach  Dillman  said. 

Four  more  golfers,  Kelly 
Pittman,  Kathleen  Garrahan, 
Carrie  Wallace,  and  Tiffany 
Faucette  all  complemented 
the  team  as  they  contributed 
with  constant  improvement. 

Youth  and  enthusiasm 
continued  to  pay  off  for  the 
Lady  Seminoles  as  coach 
Dillman  responded  to  the 
competitive  attitude  of  the 
squad.  A  Lady  Seminole  golf- 
er herself,  Dillman  illustrated 
her  knowledge  of  the  sport  of 
golf.  The  array  of  talent  pro- 
vided by  these  university 
golfers  was  certainly  ex- 
pressed through  the  combi- 
nation of  her  experience  and 
her  team's  abilities.

Competing  With 

Our  Own 


Excitement  was  in  the 
air  as  the  Intramural 
season  began. 

Friends,  fraternities,  sorori- 
ties and  classmates  teamed 
up  to  compete  for  the  pres- 
tigious title  of  intramural 
champions. 

"We  had  a  great  turnout 
and  I  think  everyone  had  a 
great  time,"  John  Blihar,  As- 
sistant Director  of  In- 
tramurals,  said. 

Flag  football  was  the  sport 
which  kicked  off  the  season. 
"The  Firemen"  captured  the 
men's  title,  and  Delta  Gam- 
ma sorority  swept  the  wom- 
en's division.  "All  Hype" 
emerged  as  the  winners  in  the 
co-recreational  division. 

Indoor  volleyball  saw 
championship  action  from 
the  brothers  of  Delta  Tau 
Delta  fraternity  and  Kappa 
Delta  sorority. 

The  basketball  events  saw 
outstanding  performances  by 
the  men's  team  "Supreme 
Court."  "Completely  Ran- 
dom" won  the  ladies'  title, 
while  the  co-recreational 
teams  were  undecided. 

"The  Juggernauts"  amazed 
their  opponents  and  captured 
the  men's  soccer  title,  while 
members  of  "Limelight" 
were  the  victors  in  the  wom- 
en's division. 

Phi  Delta  Theta  dominat- 
ed the  men's  Softball  field. 
"Just  Betty's"  wound  up  the 
winners  in  the  women's 
league,  while  the  co- 
recreational  sensation, 
"Prime  Timeless,"  came  out 
on  top. 

The  fall  raquetball  compe- 
tition came  to  a  dramatic 
close  when  Jeff  Bowman  cap- 
tured the  men's  crown.  Bow- 
man and  his  partner  Stacy 
Shuman  also  grabbed  the 
doubles  title.  In  the  spring. 


Jason  Greenberg  won  the 
men's  singles,  while  Bonnie 
Oliver  won  the  women's  sin- 
gles. Barry  and  Jason  Green- 
berg took  the  men's  doubles 
title.  Joanie  Strogis  and 
Stephanie  Lohman  received 
the  women's  doubles  honors. 

John  Ghirardini  claimed 
the  rights  to  the  men's  singles 
tennis  title  in  the  fall.  Tanya 
Racoobia  became  the  wom- 
en's singles  champion,  while 
the  combined  efforts  of  Mas- 
cani  and  Hanna  insured  the 
men's  doubles  win.  The 
mixed  doubles  honor  went  to 
Liberti  and  Gampher.  In  the 
Spring,  John  Ghirardini 
worked  his  magic  and  won 
the  men's  singles  title  again. 
Diane  Liberti  was  dazzling  in 
the  women's  finals  and  the  Su 
brothers  took  the  men's  dou- 
bles crown. 

The  foul  shooting  compe- 
tition produced  a  few  inter- 
esting results.  For  the  Garnet 
Division,  Sigma  Phi  Epsilon 
won  the  event.  Phi  Sigma 
Kappa  made  it  to  the  top  of 
the  Gold  Division,  claiming 
the  title.  Pi  Beta  Phi  also  took 
high  honors.  In  the  men  and 
women's  individuals,  Sean 
Higbea  and  Becky  Huff 
claimed  the  prizes,  respec- 
tively. 

The  field  goal  kicking 
achievement  went  to  Eugene 
Bardakjy.  The  independent 
team  "The  Hoopsters" 
grabbed  the  3  on  3  men's  bas- 
ketball honors. 

Aside  from  the  regular 
competition  between  all  of 
the  teams,  the  sororities  and 
fraternities  battled  it  out  for 
Greek  bragging  rights.  The 
beach  volleyball  craze  ended 
with  a  Lambda  Chi  Alpha 
and  Kappa  Alpha  Theta 
prizewinning  package. 

Putt  Putt  golfing  was  con- 


trolled by  Phi  Mu  sorority. 

In  the  swimming  contests. 
Alpha  Gamma  Delta  made  it 
to  the  top.  The  Garnet  and 
Gold  Divisions  produced 
Lambda  Chi  and  Sigma  Chi 
as  their  kings. 

The  wrestling  event  saw 
Gold  Division's  Sigma  Chi 
and  Garnet's  Sigma  Pi  ad- 
vance as  the  champions. 

The  Garnet  and  Gold  Di- 
visions recognized  top  teams 
from  Theta  Chi  and  Phi  Sig- 
ma Kappa,  respectively.  The 
track  highlights  included 
Theta  Chi,  representing  the 
Garnet  teams,  and  the  Sigma 
Chi  fraternity  members  of 
the  Gold  team,  claiming  their 
prizes. 

The  Greek  bowling  compe- 
tition was  taken  by  Phi  Sigma 
Kappa  in  the  Gold  Division. 
FIJI  received  top  honors  for 
the  Garnet  division  and  Kap- 
pa Kappa  Gamma  was  the 
overall  sorority  winner. 

Pi  Kappa  Phi  and  Theta 
Chi  placed  first  in  the  Gold 
and  garnet  divisions,  respec- 
tively, in  the  fraternity  ra- 
quetball competition.  There 
was  a  tie  between  Delta  Gam- 
ma and  Kappa  Alpha  Theta 
for  the  first  place  merit. 

The  golf  awards  went  to 
Sigma  Chi  of  the  Gold  Di- 
vision and  Lambda  Chi  of 
the  Garnet  Division. 

As  always,  intramurals 
provided  an  outlet  for  every- 
day stress,  a  regular  exercise 
program  and  yet  a  new  way 
to  meet  people  on  campus. 

"The  competition  was  in- 
tense, but  fun.  It's  great  to  see 
the  participation  level  grow 
each  season,"  Mike  Rondow, 
Supervisor  of  Officials,  said.

Turning  The  I  / 
Other  Cheek '^ 


Sports  fans  usually  paid 
close  attention  to  a  few 
key  aspects  of  the  game 
such  as  the  players,  the  score, 
the  plays  and  the  referees. 
The  only  time  a  referee  might 
get  recognition  was  when 
their  call  was  controversial  or 
when  an  angered  fan  voiced 
their  opinion.  They  were  of- 
ten seen  getting  kicked, 
punched,  cursed  or  yelled  at. 

The  intramural  referees 
take  an  enormous  amount  of 
grief  from  the  players.  "It's 
really  rough  when  you  make  a 
call  and  someone  starts 
screaming  in  your  face.  Some 
of  the  players  take  the  games 
much  too  seriously.  Some- 
times it's  hard  to  turn  the 
other  cheek,"  Soccer  and  vol- 
leyball referee  John  Living- 
stone said. 

The  qualifications  for  be- 
ing a  referee  was  basically 
having  a  good  attitude.  "We 
want  people  to  partcipate. 
We  were  looking  for  a  few 
people  with  good  personali- 
ties and  who  were  willing  to 
put  up  with  a  lot,"  Supervisor 
of  Officials  Mike  Rondow 
said. 

Experience  wasn't  a  neces- 
sity for  the  energetic  group  of 
men  and  women  because  pre- 
season classroom  and  on  the 
field  clinics  were  held  for  all 


of  the  referees.  During  these 
clinics,  they  learned  general 
rules  and  terminology  for 
each  sport.  They  were  given 
informal  exams  to  test  their 
knowledge  and  placed  ac- 
cordingly. After  the  training, 
the  referees  were  responsible 
for  everything  going  smooth- 

ly. 

"The  referees  are  the  back- 
bone of  the  program.  They 
symbolize  a  control  in  the 
game/match  and  are  taken  se- 
riously. Without  them,  the 
teams  would  have  to  officate 
their  own  games,  like  other 
major  universities,  and  I 
don't  think  it  would  work," 
John  Blihar,  Assistant  Direc- 
tor of  Intramurals,  said. 

Overall,  the  students  who 
participated  in  intramurals 
were  sportsmanlike  and  pro- 
fessional. Rondow  said,  "The 
players  knew  they  could 
come  to  the  supervisor  and 
complain  if  they  had  a  major 
problem  and  it  would  get  tak- 
en care  of." 

John  Livingstone  summed 
up  the  experience  by  saying, 
"It  was  a  really  fun  job.  I  met 
a  lot  of  people.  I  finally  un- 
derstand the  cheerful,  fun 
competitiveness  around  cam- 
pus."

Sporting  A  m 


New  Attitude 


Sportsmanship  was  the 
name  of  the  game  ac- 
cording to  the  rules 
and  regulations  of  the  intra- 
mural sports.  A  code  of  con- 
duct and  sportsmanship  rat- 
ing policy  was  adopted  by  the 
university  to  ensure  order 
during  all  intramural  events. 
"We  expect  the  same  be- 
havior and  respect  as  in  a 
classroom.  A  professor 
wouldn't  get  hit  for  issuing  a 
bad  grade  and  a  referee  won't 
either  for  making  a  bad  call. 
There  are  rules  which  every- 
one will  follow  if  they  want  to 
play,"  Assistant  Intramural 
Director,  John  Blihar  said. 

Referees  were  required  to 
rate  both  teams  on  their  con- 
duct after  the  completion  of 
the  game,  on  a  scale  of  0  to  5, 
with  0  being  the  lowest.  All 
teams  must  have  maintained 
an  average  of  a  3  to  be  el- 
igible for  the  playoffs  at  the 
end  of  the  season.  Regardless 
of  their  ranking,  if  a  team  had 
an  overall  poor  sportsman- 
ship rating,  then  they  didn't 
participate  in  the  playoffs. 


The  intramural  committee 
was  planning  to  reorganize 
and  redefine  each  level  of  the 
rating  system,  creating  a 
stricter  policy. 

"We  want  the  program  to 
move  in  a  positive  direction. 
The  students  will  abide  by 
the  rules  or  they  simply  won't 
play.  It's  basically  an  ap- 
proach to  a  new  attitude.  We 
want  everyone  to  know  that 
we're  quite  serious  about 
misconduct,"  Blihar  said. 

"The  last  thing  we  need  is  a 
shouting  match  between  an 
official  and  a  player.  We  re- 
alize that  we  might  lose  some 
people  because  of  the  new 
rating,  but  we'll  still  have 
plenty  of  participants,"  add- 
ed Rondow. 

The  new  system  and  code 
of  conduct  had  to  meet  the 
approval  of  vice  president  of 
student  affairs,  John  Dalton. 
Blihar  said,"  I  think  it  will 
meet  everyone's  needs.  We're 
just  here  to  have  a  good 
time."

WHAT 
W 

Greeks.   Sore 


A 
Rush 


ith  the  start  of 
a  new  school 
year  came 
RUSH  for  all 
Greeks.  "Sororities,  for  the 
most  part  held  rush  only  once 
in  the  fall  a  week  prior  to  the 
first  week  of  classes.  Frater- 
nities, on  the  other  hand,  for 
the  most  part,  held  their  rush 
during  the  first  week  of  class- 
es each  semester. 

Sororities  had  a  very 
drawn  out  process  to  select 
future  members.  During  the 
week,  girls  visited  each  house 
and  watched  lawn  routines, 
skits  and  learned  about  the 
girls  and  different  houses 
they  hoped  to  be  part  of  On 
the  first  day  an  information 
meeting  was  held  and  girls 
were  split  up,  alphabetically, 
into  rush  groups  while  Rho 
Chi's  were  placed  to  help  lead 
the  groups.  Rho  Chi's  were 
preselected  members  from 
each  sorority  who  showed 
outstanding  Greek  leadership 
and  were  chosen  to  help  take 
rushees  through  the  weeks  ac- 
tivities. 

"Before  every  party  there 
were  always  a  few  extra  min- 
utes to  fix  yourself  up,  it  was 
so  hot  outside  that  the  extra 
minutes  helped  a  lot,"  fresh- 
men Jennifer  Bambuch  said. 

On  the  first  official  two 
days  of  rush,  the  girls  visited 
all  the  sorority  houses,  and 
participated  in  "ice  water" 
parties.  They  were  called  this, 
because  at  each  house  ice  wa- 
ter was  served  and  girls  were 
given  a  brief  introduction  to 
the  sororities  and  Greek  life. 

After  the  "ice  water"  par- 
ties, information  day  fol- 
lowed. Here,  information 
about  the  sorority  was  given 
to  potential  sorority  mem- 
bers to  make  them  aware  of 
financial  and  time  obliga- 
tions. This  gave  the  rushees 
an  easier  way  to  help  limit 
their  final  decision. 

After  information  day,  the 
rushees  went  back  and  took 
part  in  skit  day.  Here  rushees 
saw  skits  at  five  different  so- 


rorities. After  seeing  the 
skits,  rushees  once  more  nar- 
rowed down  their  selections 
and  prepared  for  the  prefer- 
ential parties. 

"It  was  so  difficult  to  nar- 
row them  down.  I  liked  so 
many,  and  I  had  no  idea  how 
I  would  ever  decide,"  junior 
Susie  Metz  said. 

By  the  end  of  the  week, 
through  mutual  selection  be- 
tween the  sororities  and 
rushees,  each  girls  had  the 
opportunity  to  visit  up  to 
three  houses  again  where 
they  atended  preferential 
parties.  Here  the  final  selec- 
tions were  made  by  both  par- 
ties and  the  next  day  the  girls 
learned  where  their  new 
home  would  be.  They  flocked 
in  hordes  as  they  waited  for 
their  bid  cards,  with  hopes 
and  dreams  of  what  would  lie 
ahead.  With  their  card  in 
hand,  each  girl  went  off  to  her 
selected  house  and  was  greet- 
ed by  her  sisters.  Pictures 
were  taken,  parties  were  held 
and  their  pledgeship  began. 

Fraternities  recruited  their 
members  through  a  more  laid 
back  approach.  During  the 
week,  parties  were  held  at  fra- 
ternity houses  in  hopes  of  se- 
lecting and  getting  the  creme 
of  the  crop.  Often  fraternities 
enticed  people  to  come  to 
their  houses  by  having  local 
bands  play  or  having  the 
Golden  Girls  perform.  Usu- 
ally every  night,  they  had 
some  sort  of  theme  unique  to 
each  separate  fraternity.  Bids 
were  given  to  potential  mem- 
bers throughout  the  week, 
with  these  bids  came  pledge- 
ship  for  the  months  ahead. 

Rush  was  a  fairly  intense, 
yet  fun  process  of  member 
selection.  It  helped  bind  the 
fraternities  and  sorority 
members  closer  together  at 
the  same  time  prepared  them 
for  their  pledges  who  would 
be  the  future  of  their  organ- 
ization.

^  uys  found  RUSH  to  be  somewhat  easier  that  the  girls.  At  parties 
__  they  could  hang  out  with  their  friends  and  meet  the  brothers.

Kappa  Alpha's  main 
philanthropy  was  the  Mus- 
cular Distrophy  Associa- 
tion. They  did  several 
things  to  benefit  MDA, 
such  as  holding  car  washes 
rather  than  holding  one 
large  money  raising  event. 

Kappa  Alpha  held 
Haunted  Block  with  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon  and  Alpha 
Tau  Omega.  The  fraterni- 
ties decorated  their  houses 
and  children  from  the 
community  came  and 
trick-or-treated.  Kappa  Al- 
pha also  worked  with  the 
Big  Brother/Big  Sister  pro- 
gram. 

Kappa  Alpha  held  many 
socials  such  as  Champagne 
Jam  with  Pi  Phi  and  an 
Around  the  World  social 
with  Tri  Delta.  They  held 
their  annual  October  Fest 
social  with  Lambda  Chi, 
Delta  Gamma  and  Alpha 
Delta  Pi  in  the  fall,  and 
their  second  annual  Fan- 
tasy Island  social  with  Sig- 
ma Alpha  Epsilon,  Gam- 
ma Phi  beta,  and  Alpha 
Chi  Omega.  They  held  two 
hay  rides  and  their  Crim- 
son Rose  formal  in  the  fall. 
In  addition  they  held  their 
annual  Old  South,  which 
was  a  week  of  festivities 
including  a  formal,  a  pa- 
rade, a  picinic  at  the  pres- 
ident's mansion,  a  picinic 
at  Pebble  Hill  Plantation 
and  ended  with  a  weekend 
at  the  beach. 

Kappa  Alpha  won 
Greek  Week  with  their 
pairing,  Kappa  Alpha  The- 
ta.  They  also  won  Alpha 
Delta  Pi's  Gong  Show,  and 
brother  John  Yearty  was 
recognized  by  IFC  as  Fra- 
ternity President  of  the 
Year. 

"I  think  what  stands  out 
about  us  the  most  is  the 
southern  ideals  we  carry  of 


how  to  treat  a  lady  and 
how  to  be  chivalrous," 
Mike  Hudson  said. 


ZBT 


Zeta  Beta  Tau  held  a 
Mud  Volleyball  Tourna- 
ment in  order  to  raise 
money  for  the  Luekemia 
Society  this  year.  Frater- 
nities and  sororities  got 
muddy  to  raise  about 
$2,000.  Zeta  Beta  Tau  also 
held  a  soccer  tournament 
to  raise  money  for  DARE 
and  the  Miami  Hope  Proj- 
ect, and  they  held  a  fund- 
raiser to  benefit  Stop  Can- 
cer. 

Zeta  Beta  Tau  found  the 
time  for  an  active  social 
life  as  well,  including 
Barbeques  and  socials 
with  sororities  such  as  Al- 
pha Gamma  Delta,  Sigma 
Kappa,  Kappa  Kappa 
Gamma,  and  Phi  Mu. 
They  had  a  formal  in  Jack- 
sonville, a  hayride  and 
they  also  took  tubing  trips 
down  the  Itchnitokne. 
They  and  thier  Greek 
Week  pairing  received  a 
free  social  at  the  Mill  for 
raising  the  most  money  at 
Dance-A'Thon. 

Zeta  Beta  Tau  was 
unique  in  the  fact  that  they 
had  no  pledging  period. 
New  members  went 
through  rush,  then  get  ini- 
tiated, and  then  began  to 
learn  about  the  fraternity 
through  their  big  brothers, 

"It's  good  because  you 
don't  get  hazed,"  Mike 
Dunond  said,  "You're  not 
fooling  anyone  to  do  any- 
thing they  don't  want  to."

STEPPING   Direction 


Anew  year  brought 
much  excitement 
with  it.  New  class- 
es, new  faces  and 
new  pledges  which  uhimately 
led  to  new  sisters  and  broth- 
ers. 

Pan  Greeks  had  a  lot  to 
look  forward  to  besides  new 
pledges,  they  had  socials, 
philanthropic  events  and  The 
Extravaganza. 

The  Extravaganza  was  a 
Stepping  Show  held  on  Oct. 
13,  when  Pan  Greek  frater- 
nities and  sororities  compet- 
ed to  see  who  could  step  the 
best.  The  Pan  Greeks  took 
the  Extravaganza  very  seri- 
ously and  started  preparing 
for  the  event  three  months 
prior.  Each  fraternity  and  so- 
rority selected  seven  mem- 
bers of  their  best  'steppers' 
and  began  choreographing 
their  moves  at  the  end  of  the 
summer. 

"Pan  Greeks  take  their 
stepping  very  seriously,"  Mi- 
chael Leeks,  Pan  Greek  pres- 
ident said,  "they  practice  for 
months  on  end  to  perfect 
their  routines." 

The  Pan  Greek  system  held 
the  Extravaganza  since  Pan 


Greeks  first  came  on  campus 
around  1983.  The  event 
proved  to  be  a  hugh  success 
and  has  benefited  local  phi- 
lanthropies and  helped  create 
and  enhance  scholarship 
funds. 

Pan  Greeks  prided  them- 
selves on  their  philanthropic 
events  and  their  contribu- 
tions to  improving  their 
scholarly  image,  on  which 
they  placed  emphasis.  Collec- 
tively, Pan  Greeks  worked  to- 
gether to  benefit  the  Urban 
League,  the  Run  Away  Shel- 
ter Home,  have  participated 
in  blood  drives  and  helped 
with  the  Frenchtown  Clean 
Up  project.  Individually,  the 
Pan  Greeks  participated  sev- 
eral service  projects  to  ben- 
efit various  causes. 

Winners  of  the  Extrava- 
ganza were  Alpha  Phi  Alpha 
for  the  fraternities  and  Delta 
Sigma  Theta  for  the  sorori- 
ties. Each  prided  themselves 
in  their  victory  at  the  event, 
and  also  enjoyed  the  time 
they  spent  bonding  with  their 
own  organizations  as  well  as 
with  the  rest  of  the  Pan 
Greek  community. 

The  Extravaganza  was  a 


special  part  of  the  Pan  Greek 
community.  They  even  had 
various  stepping  displays  in 
the  union  throughout  the 
year  to  show  their  "stuff."  It 
gave  them  an  opportunity  to 
compete  while  benefiting  a 
worthy  cause.  The  months 
spent  practicing  and  the 
pride  they  showed  among 
themselves  was  visible 
throughout  the  year  in  their 
philanthropic  events  and  on 
campus. 

"We  are  only  looking 
ahead,"  Leeks  said,  "With 
each  passing  year  we  are  only 
getting  stronger."

Phi  Gamma  Delta  par- 
ticipated in  many  philan- 
thropic events  throughout 
the  year.  In  the  fall  they 
held  their  FIJI  Football 
Run,  when  their  chapter  in 
Gainseville  ran  the  foot- 
ball half  way  and  the  FSU 
chapter  ran  it  up  to  the 
stadium  prior  to  teh  FSU- 
UF  game  to  benefit  the 
American  Heart  Associa- 
tion through  donations 
adn  sponsorships. 

In  the  spring,  they  raised 
money  for  the  St.  Thomas 
Moore  soup  kitchen,  when 
they  held  their  annual 
Kidnap  Kaper.  Sorority 
presidents,  house  moms 
and  social  chairmen  were 
captured  and  held  in  the 
FIJI  house  for  ransom  — 
cans  of  food.  The  event 
proved  to  be  a  huge  suc- 
cess. They  also  participat- 
ed in  over  3000  hours  of 
social  and  community  ser- 
vice. They  participated  in 
the  Heart  n'  Soul  Classic  (a 
5K  run),  the  Spring  Fix 
and  gave  time  to  the  kids 
at  Children's  Lighthouse. 
They  also  helped  tutor 
kids  at  community  high 
schools. 

FIJI  held  several  deck 
parties,  a  Skate  social  with 
Delta  Gamma,  a  Grafitti 
social  with  Kappa  Kappa 
Gamma  and  a  What  Did  I 
Do  Over  Spring  Break  So-

er program  and  an  Adopt  - 
A-Child  Day,  where  they 
and  a  sorority  pairing 
took  kids  to  a  football 
game. 

During  the  year  Alpha 
Epsilon  Pi  found  time  to 
enjoy  themselves.  They 
had  a  Regional  Conference 
gathering  with  Sigma 
Delta  Tau,  a  hayride  and 
their  Founder's  Day 
Formal  at  the  Tallahassee 
Hilton. 

"The  guys  here  are  real- 
ly great.  Being  a  fairly 
small  fraternity,  it  creates 
the  situation  where  you 
have  an  interesting  and 
close  knit  group  of  guys," 
Scott  Regen  said.

Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon 
raised  over  four  thousand 
dollars  for  computers  for 
local  schools.  They  also 
raised  money  for  the  Unit-

During  the  year,  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon  found  time 
to  particpate  in  a  Toga

MOVING 


Delta  Zeta  members 
looked  forward  to 
this  Christmas 
with  eagerness 
and  anticipation.  Christmas 
break  was  the  expected  com- 
pletion date  of  the  one  mil- 
lion dollar  renovation  and 
expansion  project  of  their  so- 
rority house. 

The  entire  house  was  ex- 
panded outward,  nearly  dou- 
bling its  length.  A  third  floor 
was  added  and  the  entire  in- 
side was  remodeled.  The 
house,  which  held  about  30 
girls  prior  to  the  expansion 
was  now  able  to  hold  79  girls. 
This  made  the  Delta  Zeta 
house  the  largest  on  campus 
in  terms  of  housing  capacity. 

The  expansion  was  in  the 
planning  stages  for  two  years. 
Delta  Zeta  decided  to  expand 
the  house  in  order  to  accomo- 
date their  growing  chapter. 

"We  felt  that  having  more 
people  living  in  the  house 
would  yield  a  closer  group," 
Dana  Morgan  said.  "Living 
in  the  house  gets  you  a  lot 
more  involved  with  the  so- 
rority and  brings  you  closer 
together." 

The  sorority  ran  into  a  few 
obstacles  in  making  their 
plans  a  reality.  Construction 
was  originally  supposed  to 
start  in  the  spring  but  was 
postponed  because  of  prob- 
lems in  obtaining  the  neces- 
sary loan.  The  entire  plan  was 
about  to  fall  through  when 
Delta  Zeta's  nationals 
stepped  in.  They  helped  get 
the  loan  approved  and  found 
contractors  and  architects  to 
do  the  work. 

Delta  Zeta  also  ran  into  or- 
dinance and  zoning  problems 
because  the  house  was  so  old. 
Construction  finally  got  un- 
der way  in  the  summer  and 


was  rescheduled  to  be  fin- 
ished by  the  end  of  the  fol- 
lowing semester.  However, 
the  completion  was  delayed 
and  the  girls  were  not  able  to 
move  in  until  the  middle  of 
February.  Contractors  were 
still  finishing  up  the  smaller 
details  in  March. 

Delta  Zeta  retired  the  Sig- 
ma Sigma  Sigma  house  while 
waiting  for  the  renovations  to 
be  complete.  Tri  Sigma  went 
off  campus  for  a  year  leaving 
Delta  Zeta  with  a  place  to 
live  in  and  hold  rush  for  the 
fall  semester.  Rather  than  the 
normal  tour  of  the  house  on 
Information  Day  of  Rush, 
rushees  got  to  see  plans  and 
models  for  the  new  house. 
Living  in  a  different  house 
required  many  adjustements 
on  the  part  of  the  sorority. 

"We  had  to  get  used  to  it. 
We  were  gald  we  had  some- 
where to  go,  but  we  were  real- 
ly anticipating  the  comple- 
tion of  our  new  house," 
Jamie  Summers  said. 

Even  moving  back  into  the 
house  turned  out  to  be  com- 
plicated. Delta  Zeta  had  only 
a  six  hour  period  in  which  to 
transport  all  of  their  belong- 


With  the

ings.  That  was  all  the  time 
there  was  between  the  com- 
pletion of  their  house  and  the 
end  of  the  rent  period  at  the 
Tri  Sig  house.  Several  Lamb- 
da Chi  Alpha  pledges  came 
out  and  helped.  Delta  Zeta 
was  paired  with  Lambda  Chi 
for  Greek  Week. 

Despite  the  many  compli- 
cations Delta  Zeta  was  very 
excited  about  the  completion 
of  the  new  house.  "I  really 
enjoy  going  to  the  house.  I 
spend  a  lot  more  time  there 
now.  It's  different  getting 
used  to  a  new  house.  It's  get- 
ting to  be  more  like  home  for 
me,"  Susie  Kennedy  said.

six  hours  to  move  between  houses 
to  avoid  additional  rent  expenses.

raised. 

Phi  Mu  was  recognized 
both  on  a  state  and  nation-

landed  them  a  feature  in 
their  national  magazine. 
At  their  State  Day,  where 
all  the  chapters  in  Florida

"Phi  Mu  is  unique  in  it's

that's  what  makes  a  great

"Starting  your  own  frater- 
nity is  a  lot  of  work.  You're 
trying  to  do  so  many  things  at 
once.  You're  trying  to  build 
name  recognition.  You're 
trying  to  get  a  house.  You're 
constantly  rushing  and  you're 
trying  to  help  the  new  mem- 
bers get  started.  But  it's 
worth  it,"  David  Blount,  Del- 
ta Sigma  Phi's  secretary,  said. 

Delta  Sigma  Phi  was  a  new 
fraternity  that  organized  a 
colony  campus  in  the  spring 
semester. 

"A  lot  of  new  fraternities 
start  out  with  a  group  of 
friends  getting  together  and 
petitioning  national  fraterni- 
ties for  a  charter.  This  one 
was  the  other  way  around," 
said  David  Blount.  He  said 

Pat  Reiss  recieves  a  bid  to

recognized  by  IFC. 


that  the  fraternity  is  strong  in 
the  North  and  the  West  and 
the  national  representatives 
decided  they  wanted  to  get  a 
better  foothold  in  the  South. 

"We  came  to  FSU  becuase 
the  Greek  system  is  strong 
and  it  plays  a  intregal  part  in 
the  national  Greek  system  as 
a  whole,"  Scott  Ficek,  Delta 
Sig's  national  leadership  con- 
sultant, said.  "We're  excited 
to  be  here  becuase  it's  a  great 
campus." 

Delta  Sig's  first  group  of 
pledges  consisted  of  about  1 5 
men.  They  traveled  to  Stet- 
son University  to  be  initiated 
because  Delta  Sigma  Phi  bi- 
laws  require  that  brothers  be 
initiated  at  a  charter  chapter.

sity of  Alabama  at  Birming- 
ham and  they  planned  to  in-

Georgia  Tech. 

New  fraternities  must  meet 
several  Inter-Fraternity 
Council  requirements  before 
they  are  allowed  to  come  on 
campus.  They  must  petition 
IFC  in  order  to  be  allowed  to 
try  to  start  a  chapter  here. 
Delta  Sig  was  selected  among 
several  other  national  frater- 
nities to  come  here.  Once  a 
colony  was  started,  the  fra- 
ternity needed  to  have  25 
members  and  participate  in 
two  philanthropic  events. 
They  placed  second  in  Phi

ment  was  hopeful  about 
meeting  the  membership  re- 
quirement by  the  end  of  the 
spring  semester. 

"It's  a  really  great  start  to 
have  this  many  involved.  We 
hope  to  have  30  to  45  guys  at 
the  end  of  the  semester,"  he 
said. 

A  new  fraternity  must  also 
go  before  the  IFC  Rush  Com- 
mittee to  be  evaluated  before 
they  can  be  officially  recog- 
nized by  IFC. 

"They  come  and  sit  in  your 
meeting  and  talk  to  you  to  see 
how  things  are  going.  They 
want  to  prevent  some  of  the 
things  that  have  happened 
before  from  happening  again. 
Basically  they  just  want  to 
make  sure  you're  firmly  es- 
tablished so  you  don't  just 
come  on  campus  and  dwindle 
out,"  Keith  Collyer,  Delta  Sig 
president  said.  "They've 
been  real  supportive." 

Tau  Kappa  Epsilon  was 
also  looking  for  new  mem- 
bers in  the  spring.  However, 
they  did  not  have  to  meet 
IFC  requirements  becuase 
they  never  went  off  campus. 
Instead,  the  national  repre- 
sentatives came  in  and  en- 
tirely rebuilt  the  chapter 
from  within,  with  completely 
new  members.  According  to 
Teke's  International  Director 
Dennis  Perry  they  had  a 
strong  response  recruiting  25 
members  in  the  first  two 
weeks.  Tau  Kappa  Epsilon 
has  no  pledgeship.  Instead 
initiation  is  the  first  step  and 
members  then  begin  an  ed- 
ucation program  about  the 
fraternity  that  continues 
throughout   their  college 


years. 

Rushing  new  members  was 
a  constant  task  for  Delta  Sig- 
ma. They  often  had  as  many 
as  two  or  three  rush  events  a 
week  at  places  such  as  Buf- 
falo Bill's  and  Dagwood's. 
They  also  put  ads  in  the 
Flambeau,  had  tables  in  the 
Union  and  had  Alumni  func- 
tions to  get  support.  They 
also  tried  to  have  each  fra- 
ternity member  bring  in  a 
new  member  to  increase  their 
numbers. 

Their  fraternity  met  once  a 
week  on  campus  to  take  care 
of  business  matters.  They 
also  got  togetl  er  at  other 
times.  For  example,  the 
members  met  every  Monday 
night  at  the  Pub,  in  a  non- 
rush  setting  to  socialize. 

"I  saw  the  ad  in  the  paper 
and  decided  to  do  it.  The

idea  a  being  a  founding  father 
was  very  appealing  as  well  as 
the  idea  of  having  an  input  in 
establishing  the  traditions 
and  rules  instead  of  joining  a 
fraternity  where  that  is  al- 
ready established,"  David 
Blount,  a  Delta  Sig  member 
said. 

Starting  a  new  fraternity 
may  be  a  hard  job,  but  the 
brothers  walked  away  with  a 
unique  experience  that  they 
might  have  missed  otherwise. 

"I've  had  a  great  time," 
Keith  Collyer  said.  "I've 
learned  a  lot  about  meetings 
and  setting  things  up  and 
meeting  new  people.  It's  an 
incredible  amount  of  work 
but  it's  very  rewarding." 


Pledges  Greg  Austin  and 
Marty  Dormay  take  a  break 
following  a  meeting. 
Pledges  of  the  fraternity  were  re-

traveled  great  lengths  all  over  the 
Southeast  to  see  that  this  was 
done.

MAKING 


Imagine  you  could  only 
leave  one  impression 
of  yourself  to  a  strang- 
er. Obviously,  you 
would  want  that  impression 
to  make  an  impact.  In  the 
Seminole  Greek  ritual  of 
"painting  the  wall,"  one 
chance  was  all  each  sorority 
got  to  leave  an  impression  on 
a  stranger  passing  by. 

Sororities  participated  in  a 
tradition  that  consisted  of 
decorating  a  section  of  wall 
that  was  usually  located  close 
to  the  sorority's  property. 
Each  sorority  created  their 
own  ideas  that  usually  illus- 
trated activities  such  as  rush, 
Greek  Week,  their  formal  or 
philanthropic  project.  What- 
ever theme  was  desired,  the 
sororities  expressed  who  they 
were  by  the  art  work  brushed 


Molly  Dendy  puts  the  finish- 
ing touches  on  AAH's 
yy/oll.  AAn  not  only  paint- 
ed their  wall,  but  also  had  shirts 
made  to  show  their  support  for 
the  troops  in  the  Persian  Gulf. 


on  the  designated  area  of 
wall. 

"I've  been  painting  our 
wall  ever  since  I've  been 
pledged.  I  like  having  a  say  in 
what  the  wall  will  look  like 
since  it  could  be  the  first  im- 
pression a  stranger  driving 
through  town  could  get  of  my 
sorority,"  sophomore  Alex- 
andra Cordero  of  Sigma  Kap- 
pa said. 

The  sororities'  art  work 
could  be  found  near  the  en- 
trance of  the  university  on 
Copeland  Street,  Jefferson 
Street  and  College  Avenue. 
The  sororities  took  this  tra- 
dition very  seriously,  enough 
so  to  elect  or  appoint 
chairpersons  that  headed  the 
committee  that  painted  the 
wall.  Freshman  Christina 
Host  of  Kappa  Delta  was  the 
wall  chairperson  since  Janu- 
ary of  1990. 

"I  don't  have  a  natural  ar- 
tistic ability.  I'm  just  a  big 
time  doodler,"  Host  said. 

Nevertheless,  the  artwork 
did  catch  the  eyes  of  pedes- 


A  First 
Impression 

trians,  students,  drivers  and 
many  others.  Junior  Allison 
Swann,  president  of  Pi  Beta 
Phi,  remembered  the  decor 
of  the  walls  when  she  was  a 
freshman. 

"I  thought  they  were  cool. 
They  were  a  form  a  grafitti 
that  was  allowed.  A  grafitti 
that  let  the  people  show  who 
they  were.  It's  kind  of  a  form 
of  art-folk  grafitti,"  Swann 
said. 

The  grafitti  also  possessed 
more  than  a  sorority's  signa- 
ture. The  paintings  reflected 
the  signs  of  the  times.  In  a 
time  of  turmoil  and  war,  so- 
rorities came  together  to 
show  their  support  of  the 
troops  in  the  Persian  Gulf. 
The  artwork  ranged  from 
"God  Bless  The  U.S.A."  to 
"Support  Desert  Storm." 
Red,  white,  and  blue  flags, 
eagles  and  stars  graced  the 
streets  and  made  a  statement 
that  came  from  the  sorority's 
hearts. 

Angels  blowing  horns,  Cal- 
vin and  Hobbes  goofing 
around  and  dolphins  in  a 
daze  were  all  pictures  that 
captured  the  attention  of 
people  who  passed  by  the 
walls.  The  statement,  or 
artwork  that  was  seen  con- 
veyed a  message  to  others. 

The  paintings  on  the  walls 
might  have  even  left  a  first 
impression  in  the  mind  of  a 
wanderer.

KA's  Tracy  Guas,  Gretchen 
Steeg,  Betsy  Lande,  and

Bless  the  USA"  on  their  portion  of 
the  wall.  Many  sororities  and  fra- 
ternities showed  support  for  the 
troops  by  painting  their  walls, 
hanging  banners,  flags  and  yel- 
low ribbons.

TEAMING  sSe 


The  main  purpose 
of  the  Greek  sys- 
tem was  to  unite 
students  in  organ- 
izations with  common  goals 
and  values.  These  organiza- 
tions have  raised  money  and 
helped  many  people  while  at 
the  same  time  forming  close 
friendships  among  members. 
The  system  has  tended  to 
function  more  effectively 
when  the  fraternities  and  so- 
rorities came  together  to  in- 
teract, to  get  to  know  one  an- 
other and  to  support  one 
another.  Greeks  took  their 
philanthropies  and  commu- 
nity service  very  seriously 
but  at  the  same  time  recog- 
nized the  need  of  and  ben- 
efits from  social  interaction. 

This  more  relaxed  atmos- 
phere gave  the  Greeks  the 
freedom  to  get  to  know  one 
another  and  themselves  bet- 
ter, and,  in  the  end,  helped  to 
create  a  more  efficient  work- 
ing system. 

Socials  often  had  some  sort 
of  theme  to  help  make  the 
joining  of  the  two  groups 
more  fun.  The  crazier,  the 
better.  The  socials  gave  the 
Greeks  a  way  to  be  in  a  re- 
laxed setting  while  everyone 
got  acquianted. 

Some  social  themes  com- 
monly used  were  Wet  n' 
Wild,  Beach  Bash,  Luau  and 
the  50's.  Some  groups  chose 
to  have  social  themes  known 
only  to  their  organization  to 
create  an  impression  that 
would  be  associated  uniquely 
with  them.  Some  of  the  more 
unique  and  well  known 
events  were  Pi  Kappa  Phi's 
Moon  Dance,  Alpha  Tau 
Omega's  Viking,  FIJI'S  Is- 
lander, Kappa  Delta,  Kappa 
Kappa  Gamma,  and  Kappa 
Alpha  Theta's  Kappa  Kid- 
nap, and  Delta  Zeta,  Delta 
Gamma  and  Delta  Delta  Del- 
ta's Delta  Date  Rush. 


Some  social  gathering  that 
most  Greeks  found  enjoy- 
ment in  were  hayrides,  for- 
mals,  rushes,  grab-a-date, 
destination  unknown  events 
and  road  trip  outings.  Hay- 
rides  often  were  at  a  ranch, 
where  a  hayride  could  be  tak- 
en or  one  could  simply  sit  by 
the  side. 

Formals,  individually 
named  by  the  different  Greek 
organizations,  were  held  at 
hotels,  on  boats  and  in  el- 
egant restaurants.  Here 
Greeks  stepped  out  in  their 
best  and  enjoyed  their  gala 
event.  Crushes  gave  sorori- 
ties and  fraternities  a  chance 
to  secretly  invite  people  thay 
had  a  crush  on.  Names  of  in- 
vited guests  were  printed  in 
the  Flambeau  and  all  gath- 
ered in  local  clubs  in  hopes  of 
finding  who  invited  them. 
Some  social  were  held  where 
destinations  were  unknown, 
only  the  president  and  social 
chairman  of  the  group  knew 
where  the  event  would  take 
place.  The  excitement  that 


Sorority  sister  Michelle  Clarl< 
prepares  for  thie  overling's 
Social.  Socials  were  a  very 
important  part  of  the  Greel<  sys- 
tenn, 


built  from  the  lack  of  nowl- 
edge  of  where  the  social 
would  take  place  caused  at- 
tendees to  have  a  great  time. 
Some  organizations  decided 
to  take  thier  groups  on  the 
road.  Most  partied  with  fra- 
ternities and  sororities  at  oth- 
er schools  and  others  simply 
went  to  parks  or  participated 
in  recreational  activities. 

The  Greeks  on  campus 
were  well  known  and  was 
proud  of  their  accomplish- 
ments. Well  over  50  Greek 
organizations  have  been  rep- 
resented on  campus  and 
proved  to  be  very  worth- 
while. They  individually 
found  time  to  serve  others 
and  better  themselves.  So- 
cials helped  Greeks  become 
better  acquianted,  resulting 
in  better  efficiency,  and  in 
the  end  gave  them  time  to 
relax  and  enjoy  their  group 
and  Greek  community.

HELP  OUT 


Greeks  shared  a 
common  goal  of 
helping  the  less 
fortunate. 
Whether  it  was  by  giving 
time  or  raising  money,  the 
greek  system  found  ways  to 
support  different  worthy 
causes.  To  support  individ- 
ual philanthropies  each  so- 
rority and  fraternity  spon- 
sored an  event  that 
involved  the  greek  commu- 
nity, and  in  some  cases  the 
campus  as  well,  while  trying 
to  keep  the  activity  fun  and 
entertaining  for  everyone. 

The  philanthropic  events 
centered  on  an  atmosphere 
of  excitement  to  promote 
increased  support  and  en- 
thusiasm from  those  who 
participated  in  the  activi- 
ties. However,  to  make  sure 
the  enthusiasm  and  support 


did  not  get  out  of  hand,  the 
greek  system  installed  an 
Activities  Review  Board. 
The  board's  main  job  was  to 
set  limits  on  what  could  and 
could  not  be  done  during 
the  event.  It  proved  to  be  a 
good  way  to  control  the 
competition 

Competition  was  often  a 
part  of  greek  life.  Between 
intramurals  and  striving  to 
be  number  one  on  campus, 
greeks  took  competition 
very  seriously.  Philanthro- 
pies proved  to  be  a  good 
way  to  bring  the  sororities 
and  fraternities  together  to 
compete  in  a  friendly  at- 
mosphere. 

''Dolphin  Daze  was  a  lot 
of  fun,  the  fraternities  that 
competed  showed  a  lot  of 
excitement  and  energy.  It 
made  supporting  Children's 


Cancer  Research  a  reward- 
ing experience  and  at  the 
same  time  we  had  a  lot  of 
fun,"  Delta  Delta  Delta 
Pam  Lloyd  said. 

To  keep  up  interest  in 
greek  philanthropies,  soror- 
ities and  fraternities  tried  to 
make  their  benefits  espe- 
cially unique.  For  example. 
Kappa  Delta  tried  a  new 
project  called  Wing  Ding. 
Switching  from  their  tradi- 
tional spaghetti  dinner,  they 
saw  their  new  event  as  a 
good  way  to  focus  on  a  col- 
lege favorite,  eating  chicken 
wings. 

"Everyone  loves  wings, 
this  way  everyone  can  enjoy 
wings  from  different  restau- 
rants, listen  to  good  music 
and  help  support  the  Na- 
tional Committee  for  the 
Prevention  of  Child 
Abuse,"  philanthropy  coor- 
dinator Diane  Pronix  said. 

Gamma  Phi  Beta  started 
its  annual  Laugh  Off  last 
year  and  it  proved  to  be 
very  succesful.  "Our  philan- 
thropy is  unique  in  that  we 
give  everyone  a  chance  to 
show  us  how  funny  they  are. 
Anyone  can  enter,  whether 
you  are  greek  or  not.  We  not 
only  support  the  American 
Cancer  Society,  but  also 
help  involve  the  campus 
while  having  a  great  time," 
Kim  Ruddell  said. 

Another  unique  philan- 
thropic event  was  Beta  The-

ilar  to  the  T.V.  show 
brought  in  proceeds  to  ben- 
efit Alzheimer's  disease. 

Although  Greeks  did 
much  to  support  their  phi- 
lanthropies, they  often 
found  time  to  serve  the 
community  and  local  causes 
as  well.  Many  sororities  and 
fraternities  held  blood 
drives,  rebuilt  run  down 
houses  and  collected  food 
and  clothes  for  the  needy. 
Delta  Chi  found  it  reward- 
ing to  be  part  of  the  Big 
Brother/Big  Sister  program. 

"We  feel  spending  time 
with  kids  who  need  guid- 
ance or  someone  to  rely  on 
is  a  great  opportunity  for  us. 
It  gives  you  the  best  feeling 
knowing  you've  made  a  dif- 
ference. Instead  of  raising 


money  and  sending  it  away, 
we  feel  that  we  are  making 
more  of  an  impact  by  work- 
ing with  our  philanthropy, 
being  with  the  kids  on  a  per- 
sonal basis,"  Rich  Bynum 
said. 

Whether  working  on  a 
personal  basis  or  for  a  na- 
tional cause,  philanthropies 
proved  to  be  a  great  way  for 
Greeks  to  interact  with  one 
another.  Competition  gave 
them  a  desire  to  succeed 
and  also  united  the  system 
in  the  desire  to  help  others 
and  their  communities.

The  GAM- 
MA pro- 
gram is  a 
positive 
way  to  educate  the  Greek  sys- 
tem," Heidi  Price,  founder  of 
Greeks  Advocating  the  Ma- 
ture Management  of  Alcohol, 
said,  "its  program  helps 
create  positive  alternatives  to 
drinking." 

Price  was  inspired  to  found 
GAMMA  in  the  summer  of 
1989  by  her  brother,  founder 
of  the  program  at  Ohio  State. 
Those  involved  with 
GAMMA  saw  that  steps  were 
being  made  each  semester 


and  that  Greek  policies  con- 
cerning alcohol  were  looking 
better. 

"We're  here  to  protect  the 
Greek  system,"  member 
John  Mills  said,  "Through 
GAMMA,  Greeks  are  work- 
ing together  as  brothers  and 
sisters.  Instead  of  acting  as 
the  police,  we're  acting 
through  educating  the  Greeks 
and  taking  care  of  problems 
that  arise  from  the  inside." 

The  GAMMA  program 
was  set  up  on  a  Board  of  Di- 
rectors system.  On  the  na- 
tional level,  the  program  is 
represented  as  the  police.

"As  a  board,  we  chose  not 
to  act  on  the  national  level. 
We  decided  we  could  be 
more  effective  is  took  the  ed- 
ucational aspect  instead," 
Price  said. 

Florida  State's  chapter  of 
GAMMA  is  the  largest  in  the 
country  with  250  members 
and  the  only  chapter  to  uti- 
lize the  Board  of  Directors 
system.  Members  of  the 
board  see  GAMMA  as  a  ne- 
cessity instead  of  a  luxury. 

"We  figured  our  best  bet 
on  serving  as  an  effective  or- 
ganization would  be  to  carry 
out  tasks  in  a  light-hearted 
way,"  Price  said.

Steps  For  Safety  (Continued) 


GAMMA  held  many 
events  throughout  the  year 
that  supported  philanthro- 
pies and  gave  students  an  op- 
portunity to  see  that  alcohol 
related  activities  didn't  have 
to  be  the  only  way  to  have  a 
good  time.  In  the  fall,  before 
the  Florida-Florida  State 
football  game,  GAMMA  held 
a  car  smash,  where  partici- 
pants paid  a  dollar  to  hit  a  car 
decorated  with  the  UF  colors. 

They  held  a  Victims  Im- 
pact session,  where  a  student 
spoke  on  a  Drinking-Driving- 
Killing  experience  he  had. 


The  session  was  held  to  make 
students  aware  and  yet  relate 
to  him  and  his  experience  at 
the  same  time.  Pre-spring 
break,  GAMMA  had  stu- 
dents sign  pledges  promising 
not  to  drink  and  drive.  They 
received  a  great  response  by 
having  the  second  highest 
percentage  of  pledges  signed 
in  five  state  region. 

GAMMA'S  main  event  was 
the  Ideal  Party  they  held 
March  28.  The  party  gave 
faculty,  administration  and 
Students  a  chance  to  join  to- 
gether in  a  non-alcoholic 


event  and  to  honor  those  who 
have  shown  dedication  to  the 
Greek  system,  especially 
GAMMA. 

"There  are  a  lot  of  prob- 
lems facing  Greeks  today. 
They  are  typically  stereo- 
typed as  an  Animal  House 
figure.  They  don't  deserve 
this.  GAMMA  is  a  great  out- 
let for  positive  energy  and 
hopefully,  with  time,  will  di- 
minish this  image  that  is  un- 
fairly  associated  with 
Greeks,"  Mills  said.

BUSING 


Back  to 
School 


The  community  of 
Tallahassee  pulled 
together  to  help 
kids  stay  in  school 
when  Alpha  Kappa  Alpha 
and  the  university  combined 
their  efforts  to  start  the 
Homework  Headquarters  on 
Wheels  and  Afternoon  En- 
richment Program.  Members 
from  Alpha  Kappa  Alpha 
were  heavily  involved  with 
the  execution  of  the  program 
and  were  very  pleased  with 
the  project  setup.  Florida 
A&M  University  groups,  var- 
ious fraternity  and  sorority 
members,  parents,  church 
members  and  others  in  the 
community  gathered  to  help 
ensure  the  program's  success. 
The  program  was  a  coop- 
erative effort  between  Alpha 
Kappa  Alpha  and  the 
Univeristy.  The  bus  was  giv- 
en by  the  Leon  County 
School  System  and  was  ren- 
ovated by  the  Pride  of  Flor- 
ida (Prison  Rehabilitative  In- 


dustries  and  Diversifies 
Enterprises).  The  Men  of 
Tomacca  helped  convert  the 
bus  and  IBM  donated  the 
computers. 

The  purpose  of  the  pro- 
gram was  to  help  youth  who 
were  "at  risk"  of  becoming 
school  dropouts.  The  After 
School  Enrichment  program 
focused  on  remotivating  the 
children  in  school  and  giving 
them  self-confidence.  The 
Homework  Headquarters  on 
Wheels  program  taught  the 
students  and  provided  help 
with  their  homework 

"We've  focused  on  'at  risk' 
students  because  that's  where 
the  need  is.  We  need  to  pre- 
pare the  kids  to  meet  the  de- 
mands of  society.  Our  ulti- 
mate goal  is  to  have  the 
students  enjoy  school  and 
want  to  stay  in,"  program  di- 
rector Dr.  Freddie  Groomes 
said. 

Byron  Price,  project  coor- 
dinator, reported  that  the  en- 


thusiasm from  the  volunteer 
tutors  was  there.  "The  vol- 
unteers we  have  are  great,  the 
only  problem  is  we  need 
more,"  he  said. 

The  program  to  help  "at 
risk"  students  was  piloted  in 
Tallahassee  and  was  funded 
for  three  years  by  the  W.K. 
Kellogg  Foundation.  The  ul- 
timate goal  of  the  program 
was  to  expand  nationwide 
and  keep  the  kids  in  school. 
"After  all,"  Price  said,  "a  kid 
needs  to  feel  good  about  him- 
self." 

"This  program  is  not  only 
an  investment  in  the  kids,  but 
more  importantly  an  invest- 
ment in  our  future," 
Groomes  said.

overall.  Panhellenic  was 
made  up  of  representa- 
tives from  each  sorority  on 
campus. 

Panhellenic  worked 
with  the  PACE  school  for 
troubled  children  through 
the  Partner  in  Excellence 
program  with  Leon  Coun- 
ty schools.  They  threw 
birthday  parties  each 
month  and  also  gave  them 
a  Valentine's  Day  dance. 
Panhellenic  sponsored 
their  annual  faculty  lunch- 
eon where  they  recognized 
a  faculty  member  of  the 
year.  They  also  sponsored 
Eating  Awawreness  Day 
and  co-sponsored  GCLC, 
a  Greek  leadership  confer- 
ence. Panhellenic  sup- 
ported and  participated  in 
Stop  Rape  week,  Alcohol 
Awareness  week.  Safer  Sex 
week  and  the  Multi- 
Cultural  Awareness  Con- 
ference. 

Unique  for  Panhellenic 
was  the  All-Greek  Assem- 
bly where  the  Inter  Frater- 
nity Council,  Panhellenic 
and  Pan  Greek  all  gath- 
ered to  listen  to  a  guest 
speaker  and  have  their 
pledges  take  their  IPC, 
Panhellenic  and  Pan 
Greek  pledge.  The  univer- 
sity was  the  only  campus 
nationwide  that  included 
all  three  councils  in  their 
pledging. 

Panhellenic  did  a  lot  to 
help  the  Greek  system  suc- 
ceed. "I  think  Panhellenic 
has  done  a  lot  to  educate 
every  sorority  woman  that 
beyond  her  sorority  there's 


an  entire  system  out  there 
to  worry  about,"  Miriam 
Nicklaus,  Panhellenic  ad- 
viser said. 


KKP 


Kappa  Kappa  Gamma 
held  a  Tennis  Tournament 
to  benefit  Rehabilatative 
Services. 

The  Kappa's  made  time 
to  socialize  with  a  Get 
Hitched  social  with  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon,  a  hayride, 
their  Sapphire  Ball  formal 
and  Mammouth's  Duo 
with  Pi  Beta  Phi.  At  the 
Get  Hitched  social,  girls 
turned  in  garters  at  their 
house,  the  guys  received 
them  and  then  had  to  find 
the  girl  who  belonged  to 
the  garter  at  the  social. 

"The  down  to  earth  at- 
titudes of  the  girls  makes 
you  feel  at  home.  There's 
no  better  feeling  than 
that,"  Ashley  Bristow  said.

Phi  Kappa  Psi  held  their 
philanthropy  BS  for  MS 
(Multiple  Sclerosis)  during 
the  spring.  At  the  event, 
the  baseball  field  was  di- 
vided into  squares  that 
were  raffled  off.  A  cow  was 
brought  on  to  the  field  and 
whichever  square  the  an- 
imal went  to  first  the  per- 
son who  purchased  that 
particular  piece  of  land 
won  $400. 

Phi  Psi  found  time  to  re- 
lax with  a  Gotcha  social 
with  Zeta  Tau  Alpha, 
barbeques,  a  hayride  and 
their  Charter  Ball  formal 
in  spring. 

"Our  fraternity  is  up 
and  coming.  We're  a  fairly 
young  fraternity  and  feel 
that  with  each  year  we're 
improving  ourselves," 
Tom  Wilby,  charter  mem- 
ber said.

PAIRING  ^"^^^ 


Greek  Week  contin- 
ued the  positive 
tradition  of  sub- 
stantial fund- 
raising  activities  for  needy 
organizations  and  enjoyable 
activities  for  the  Greek  com- 
munity and  campus.  With  an 
overall  theme  of  "Cartoons," 
the  activities  raised  close  to 
$20,000  with  proceeds  being 
divided  among  four  local  phi- 
lanthropies. Together,  Inter- 
fraternity  Council,  Pan 
Greek  and  Panhellenic 
planned  and  executed  a  week 
of  Greek  unity  and  service 
with  outstanding  results. 

The  week  began  with  the 
"Cartoon  Crazy"  carnival  in 
the  Union  courtyard,  bene- 
fitting Big  Brothers/Big  Sis- 
ters of  Tallahassee.  Neigh- 
borhood children, 
administrator's  families  and 
the  student  body  came  out 
for  food  vendors,  carnival 
games,  a  Moonwalk  and

much  more.  Each  Greek  pair- 
ing was  responsible  for  de- 
signing a  game  booth  in  the 
theme  of  their  chosen  car- 
toon; pairings  were  judged  on 
the  quality,  appearance  and 
theme  appropriateness  of 
their  booth  as  well  as  their 
ticket  sales.  The  carnival 
raised  $1,000  for  Big  Broth- 
ers/Big Sisters.  Delta  Gam- 
ma, Phi  Kappa  Tau  and  FIJI 
all  won  first  place;  Tri  Delta 
and  Alpha  Tau  Omega  won 
second,  and  Alpha  Delta  Pi, 
Delta  Chi  and  Phi  Sigma 
Kappa  took  third. 

The  Talent  Night  chairmen 
continued  the  successful  tra- 
dition of  the  annual  Talent 
Night  competition,  with 
some  creative  and  exemplary 
new  additions.  For  the  first 
time,  the  talent  competition 
was  held  on  campus  in  Ruby 
Diamond  Auditorium. 

Dr.  Tommy  Wright  hosted 
the  evening's  festivities.  The 
Golden  Girls  performed  and 
the  Pan  Greek  fraternity,  Al- 
pha Phi  Alpha,  performed 
their  award  winning  step- 
show.  But  the  real  stars  were 
the  singing,  dancing  and  in- 
strumental performances  of 
the  Greeks. 

Judged  by  professors  in  the 


Animation 

Fine  Arts  School  and  local 
professionals,  the  performers 
hard  work  paid  off,  raising 
$900  for  the  March  of  Dimes. 
The  acts,  which  did  not  per- 
tain to  the  cartoon  theme, 
were  judged  on  talent,  orig- 
inality, creativity  and  theat- 
rical appeal/costumes. 

Kappa  Alpha  Theta  and 
Kappa  Alpha  placed  first; 
Zeta  Beta  Tau,  Sigma  Kappa, 
and  Delta  Tau  Delta  placed 
second;  and  Alpha  Tau  Ome- 
ga and  Tri  Delta  placed  third. 

Skit  day  required  a  $100 
corporate  sponsorship  from 
each  pairing,  raising  $1500 
for  the  YMCA  Someplace 
Else  Refuge  House.  Each 
pairing's  skit  incorporated 
their  cartoon  and  Someplace 
Else.  The  three  to  five  minute 
skits  were  judged  on  cos- 
tumes/props incorporation  of 
their  cartoon  theme  and  the 
philanthropy  originali- 
ty/creativity, and  theatrical 
appeal/crowd  appeal.  Again, 
Greeks  were  not  the  only 
members  in  attendance,  avid 
cartoon  watchers  of  all  ages 
came  out  to  the  Union  Green 
for  the  often  comical  perfor- 
mances. 

Field  day  was  incorporated 
into  Greek  Week  as  a  means

of  providing  the  pairings 
with  a  way  to  let  off  some 
steam  and  promote  good 
sportsmanship  among  all 
Greek  organizations.  The 
events  included  a  Tug-of- 
War,  Egg  on  a  Spoon  Relay, 
Quarters  Relay,  Blindfold 
Dressing  relay,  Water  Baloon 
toss  and  the  Mystery  Event, 
which  turned  out  to  be  the 
Piggy  Back  Pie  Pass. 

"Olympiad  is  a  day  that's 
just  for  fun  to  break  up  the 
push  to  win  and  raise  money 
for  philanthropies,"  Mike 
Thurshy,  Greek  Week  co- 
chairman  said. 

Burger  King  and  Calico 
Jack's  donated  refreshments 
and  prizes  and  Hot  101.5  FM 
was  on  the  filed  with  a  live 
remote. 

Because  of  its  success  the 
previous  year,  Dance-A- 
Thon  was  repeated  with 
some  new  ideas  to  produce 
yet  another  successful  fund- 
raiser. Working  with  the  Spe- 
cial Olympics  of  Florida,  the 
eight  hour  event  was  held  at 
the  local  Civic  Center.  Local 
businesses  donated  a  moun- 
tain bike,  which  was  awarded 
to  the  individual  with  the 
best  costume,  a  microwave, 
which  was  awarded  to  the 
pairing  which  dresses  most 
like  its  chosen  cartoon  and  a 
local  restaurant  donated  a  so- 
cial to  the  pairing  that  raised 
the  most  money.  Each  pair- 
ing's initial  contribution  was 
minimum  of  $500  in  corpo- 
rate sponsorships.  There 
were  free  t-shirts  for  all  par- 
ticipants, dance  contests 
throughout  the  evening  and 
food  donated  by  local  sub 
shops  and  pizza  places.  Not 
only  did  everyone  have  a 
great  time  dancing,  but  they 
raised  $14,500  for  Special

Olympics.  The  donations  to 
Special  Olympics  from  this 
event  in  the  past  several  years 
have  been  the  largest  in  Flor- 
ida. Chi  Omega  and  Sigma 
Phi  Epsilon  placed  first; 
Gamma  Phi  Beta  and  Pi 
Kappa  Phi  second;  and  Sig- 
ma Kappa  and  Delta  Tau 
Delta  third. 

Overall,  Kappa  Alpha  The- 
ta  and  Kappa  Alpha  placed 
first  with  the  theme  of  The 
Simpsons.  Chi  Omega  and 
Sigma  Phi  Epsilon  placed 
second  with  the  theme  of  The 
Pink  Panther.  Tri  Delta,  Al- 
pha Tau  Omega  and  Phi  Beta 
Sigma  placed  third  with  the 
theme  of  the  Archies.  The 
first  annual  Spirit  Award  was 
given  to  Pi  Kappa  Phi  and 
Gamma  Phi  Beta  whose 
theme  was  The  Peanuts. 

"It  was  a  definite  success," 
Arthur  Devallon,  the  Pan 
Greek  co-chairman  for  Greek 
Week  said,  "There  was  a  lot 


more  spirit  and  less  compe- 
tition. People  enjoyed  it  and 
it  was  a  lot  more  fun." 

"I  really  feel  that  Greek 
Week  was  a  tremendous  suc- 
cess. We  implemented  many 
new  ideas  and  they  were  aU 
successful.  I  hope  that  Greeks 
can  continue  to  build  on  the 
fund  raising  efforts  of  past 
years  and  have  a  Greek  Week 
as  enjoyable  and  beneficial  as 
this  one  was,"  Mike  Thursby 
said.

out  to  be  a  great  success. 

The  Zeta's  had  a  Toga

"Everyone  has  different

Phi  Kappa  Tau's  main 
philanthropy  was  the  Chil- 
dren's Heart  Foundation. 
They  held  various  projects 
to  raise  money  for  this  in- 
cluding cleaning  up  the 
Civic  Center  after  basket- 
ball games  and  concerts, 
setting  up  for  various 
events  at  the  Capitol,  set- 
ting collection  cans  out  in 
the  community,  car  wash- 
es and  raffles  within  t  heir 
fraternity.  Phi  Tau  also 
participated  in  many  other 
community  service  proj- 
ects as  well.  Volunteering 
for  Special  Olympics, 
holding  a  blood  drive  for 
the  troops  in  the  Gulf  and 
holding  a  Thanksgiving 
dinner  in  their  house  for 
underpriveledged  families 
in  Tallahassee  were  just  a 
few. 

Phi  Tau  still  found  time 
for  socials.  They  had  a 
Scavenger  Hunt  social  with 
Kappa  Alpha  Theta,  a  two 
day  Diamonds  and  Dia- 
monds social  with  Sigma 
Kappa  and  barbeques  with 
Kappa  Kappa  Gamma 
and  Phi  Mu.  They  also 
held  a  hayride  and  a  for- 
mal in  Jacksonville. 

Phi  Tau  placed  first  in 
Phi  Sigma  Kappa's  Home 
Run  Derby.  They  also 
placed  first  in  Phi  Mu's 
Grand  Slam  and  brother 
Bill  Fimenitsch  won  Phi 
Mu's  All  American  Male 
contest. 

"There's  a  strong  broth- 
erhood and  there's  a  lot  of 
unity,  but  there's  also 
quite  a  diversity  of  people. 
I  think  that's  unique.  We 
never  setttle  for  second

Aside  from  the  typ- 
ical fraternities 
and  sororities  one 
might  think  of 
when  they  think  of  Greeks, 
are  some  different  types  of 
Greek  organizations.  These 
included  honorary  fraterni- 
ties, service  fraternities  and 
the  professional  fraternities. 
Although  these  professional 
fraternities  had  a  different  fo- 
cus, they  held  some  of  the 
same  goals  and  ideals  as  the 
other  Greeks  such  as  service, 
unity  and  friendship.  An  ac- 
tive example  of  one  such  fra- 
ternity was  Alpha  Kappa  Psi. 

Alpha  Kappa  Psi  was  a 
professional  and  business 
oriented  co-ed  fraternity. 
They  were  founded  on  cam- 
pus in  1 924  and  had  approx- 
imately 1 1 0  members.  They 
had  an  active  calender  full  of 
a  wide  variety  of  events. 

A  K  Psi's  main  purpose 
was  to  help  its  members  in 
their  business  fields.  "We  try 
to  enhance  our  business 
skills,"  Paula  Highes  said. 

They  held  resume  work- 
shops, mock  interviews  and 
several  functions  with  speak- 
ers from  alumni  and  profes- 
sionals from  the  community. 
A  K  Psi  was  also  working  on 
estabhshing  a  job  networking 
system  with  A  K  Psi  alumni 
from  the  university  and  all  of 
Florida. 

As  well  as  enhancing  their 
own  skills,  A  K  Psi  worked  to 
enchance  the  community. 
They  participated  in  the 
March  of  Dimes  Walk  Amer- 
ica, raising  almost  $6,000. 
They  raised  the  most  money 
out  of  all  campus  organiza- 
tions and  came  in  fourth 
overall  for  Tallahasee.  A  K 
Psi  also  collected  Publix  re- 
ceipts to  benefit  local  middle 
schools  and  collected  canned 


goods  for  the  needy  for  hol- 
idays. At  the  end  of  each 
school  year,  the  brothers  and 
pledges  both  donated  any  left 
over  money  in  their  budgets 
to  charity. 

Their  rush  lasted  for  ap- 
proximately two  weeks.  They 
held  two  rush  parties  and  en- 
courage new  members  to 
come  out  and  meet  the  broth- 
ers. Prospective  members 
needed  a  3,0  grade  point  av- 
erage and  must  have  been  in 
the  business  school.  Once 
they  pledged,  new  members 
were  required  to  perform  var- 
ious business  activities  while 
the  brothers  reviewed  their 
performances.  These  activi- 
ties involved  interview  tech- 
niques, communication  skills 
and  learning  time  manage- 
ment. 

"They  give  the  pledges  an 
understanding  of  what  the 
fraternity  is  about  and  what 
we're  doing  to  prepare  them 
for  the  business  community," 
Paula  Hughes  said. 

A  K  Psi  had  social  activ- 
ities as  well.  They  held  a 
brothers  theme  party  each  se- 
mester to  encourage  unity 
with  the  pledges.  They  had  a 
banquet  for  new  members  at 
the  end  of  each  semester  and 
they  held  a  hayride.  They 
also  participated  in  the 
homecoming  parade  and  won 
an  award  for  Best  Entertain- 
ment. 

Although  A  K  Psi  had  a 
business  focus,  it  still  had 
things  in  common  with  other 
Greek  organizations.  Having 
a  house  was  one  of  those 
things.  Their  new  house  was 
built  in  1985  and  had  eight 
bedrooms  for  some  of  the 
brothers.  The  members  of  A 
K  Psi  also  found  close  friend- 
ship in  their  fraternity. 

"I  think  we're  all  very  close 


friends,"  Paula  Highes  said, 
"We  definitely  have  a  strong 
unity." 

Another  active  business 
fraternity  on  campus  was 
Delta  Sigma  Pi.  In  the  fra- 
ternity, members  were  geared 
toward  preparing  and  ulti- 
mately facing  the  business 
world. 

To  pledge  Delta  Sigma  Pi, 
one  had  to  be  a  business  ma- 
jor  and  have  the  needed 
GPA.  The  pledge  program 
lasted  ten  weeks  and  future 
members  got  the  feel  for  what 
lay  ahead.  Guest  speakers 
came  in  and  gave  seminars 
on  professional  dress  and  at- 
titude. The  fraternity  also 
participated  in  professional 
tours  and  did  resumes. 

Fundraisers  the  fraternity 
did  were  Valentine's  Day, 
when  students  could  send 
treats  to  their  friends  or 
sweethearts  and  car  washes. 
These  activities  helped  sup- 
port the  chapter.  Delta  Sigma 
Pi  also  particpated  in  the 
March  of  Dimes,  and  inter- 
acted with  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce,  with  which  they 
held  a  reception  each  semes- 
ter. 

The  fraternity  was  growing 
and  hoped  to  start  an  alumni 
chapter  in  Tallahassee.  "We 
are  the  largest  business  fra- 
ternity in  the  US,"  Scott 
Corneaux  said,  "With  an 
alumni  chapter  here  in  town 
it  will  make  it  easier  for  us  to 
improve  and  expand  our- 
selves."

PAN  GREEK 

Pan  Greek  Council's 
main  purpose  was  to  func- 
tion as  the  governing  party 
of  the  eight  sororities  and 
fraternities  included  in  the 
Pan  Greek  System.  They 
served  as  a  liason  between 
the  university  and  the 
greeks,  and  were  often  in- 
volved with  making  judi- 
ciary type  decisions. 

Pan  Greeks  worked  to- 
gether to  do  many  service 
projects  throughout  the 
community.  They  also 
bonded  together  with  Flor- 
ida A&M  University  Pan 
Greeks  to  support  their  ef- 
forts. 

Pan  Greeks  were  proud 
of  their  accomplishments 
which  involved  the  indi- 
vidual sororities  and  fra- 
ternities receiving  numer- 
ous awards  on  regional 
and  national  levels.  They, 
as  a  group,  were  most 
pleased  with  their  im- 
proved relationship  with 
Panhellenic  and  IFC,  and 
also  the  progress  made 
within  their  own  system. 
They  found  that  a  better 
working  relationship  led  to 
a  better  functioning  greek 
system. 

"We  no  longer  are  a  so- 
cial outlet,  we  now  are 
geared  more  towards  aca- 
demics and  community 
service,"  Michael  Leeks, 
Pan  Greek  president  said.

Lambda  Chi  Alpha  held 
the  All  Sorority  Line

competition  and  with  the 
money  brought  in  from 


ticket  and  shirt  sales, 
Lambda  Chi  made  ap- 
proximately $4,500,  which 
was  donated  from  the 
event. 

Lambda  Chi  attended 
and  held  various  socials. 
They  had  a  Reggae  social 
with  Alpha  Delta  Pi,  a 
Cowboys  and  Indians  so- 
cial with  Tri  Delta,  a  hay-

formal.  They  also  man- 
aged to  place  in  the  home-

"The  guys  are  so  di- 
verse, you  can  find  good 
'ol  country  boys  and 
surfers  in  the  same  room. 
We  all  take  care  of  each 
other,  resulting  in  auto- 
matic friendships  that  last 
a  lifetime,"  Todd  Spillane 
said. 

Kappa  Alpha  Psi  was 
founded  in  1 9 1 1  on  the  ba- 
sis of  unification. 

The  Theta  Eta  chapter 
of  Kappa  Alpha  Psi  was 
chartered  in  1975  on  cam- 
pus. Four  young  men  with 
the  similar  needs  to  their 
founders  were  in  search  of 
a  source  of  unification. 
These  men  found  their 
source  in  ideals  and  broth- 
erhood expressed  by  Kap- 
pa. 

Many  years  and  many 
pledge  classes  have  crossed

Theta  Eta.  They  were  a 
proud  chapter  which 
strived  to  uphold  the 
ideals  of  Kappa  Alpha  Psi 
both  nationally  and  local- 
ly. The  fundamental  pru- 
pose  of  Kappa  Alpha  Psi 
was  achievement.  As  a 
chapter  they  strived  to 
make  achievements  bene- 
ficial to  the  university  and 
community.

More  than  75  years  ago, 
three  men  founded  a  ve- 
hicle by  which  true  friend- 
ship could  be  perpetuated. 
They  called  this  new 
vehicle  Omega  Psi  Phi 
fraternity.  From  that 
moment,  friendship 
became  the  fundamental 
principle  by  which  the 
fraternity  operated  and 
succeeded. 

In  1967,  nine  black  uni- 
versity students  began 
what  is  now  the  Chi  Theta 
chapter  of  Omega  Psi  Phi 
fraternity.  This  chapter 
strived  to  perpetuate  the 
ideas  of  its  founding  fa- 
thers. Through  their  par- 
ticipation in  Acheivement 
Week,  Social  Action, 
Scholarship  and  other 
community  projects, 
members  of  Chi  Theta 
continued  to  spread  Ome- 
ga's influence.  Omega  men 
took  a  strong  and  active 
interest  in  the  Black  Stu- 
dent Union  with  five  of  its 
members  being  past  pres- 
idents.

The  Alpha  Chi's  prided 
themselves  on  the  letter

with  local  and  overseas 
troops,  their  participation 
in  the  adopt-a-highway 
program  in  which  they 
were  the  first  sorority 
on  campus  to  participate 
and  being  first  runners 
up  in  Landa  Chi's  Line- 
dance. 

"The  girls  at  Alpha  Chi 
are  down  to  earth,  open 
and  friendly.  No  stereo- 
type applies  here,  it's  just 
nice  to  be  able  to  be  your- 
self," Christa  Hardy  said.

time  to  enjoy  themselves 
by  participating  in  socials. 
They  held  a  Fantasy  Island

and  Gamma  Phi  Beta. 
They  also  had  a  Gangster

Sigma  Delta  Tau  held  its 
Fraternity  Feud  in  No- 
vember to  benefit  the  Na-

Abuse.  The  Fraternity 
Feud  consisted  of  frater- 
nities competiting  in  a 
family  feud  style  game  and 
proved  to  be  very  success- 
ful. 

During  the  year  Sigma 
Delta  Tau  found  time  to 
socialize.  They  had  a 
Mardi  Gras  social  with  Phi 
Delta  Theta,  a  WW  III  so- 
cial with  Phi  Kappa  Tau, 
and  a  Hot  Tub  social  with 
Zeta  Beta  Tau.  They  also 
managed  to  work  in  a  hay- 
ride  and  their  Tea  Rose 
Formal  into  their  busy 
schedules. 

"With  the  new  house,  it 
gives  us  a  new  beginning. 
It  makes  it  easier  to  get 
involved  and  see  the  prog- 
ress of  the  sorority.  With 
this  new  beginning,  it  is 
easier  for  an  idividual  to 
make  a  difference  realize 
it.  It  really  make  being 
Greek  worth  it,"  Lisa

GIVING  BACK  SJ^ 


Alpha  Phi  Omega,  a  co-ed 
service  fraternity,  started  at 
the  university  in  the  fall  of 
1989.  Since  the  beginning, 
the  fraternity  has  proven  to 
be  very  successful,  drawing  a 
large  pledge  class  each  semes- 
ter. 

Alpha  Phi  Omega  recruited 
its  members  by  advertising 
through  the  community.  The 
RUSH  included  service  proj- 
ects and  pledges  demonstrat- 
ing interest  in  the  organiza- 
tion. The  pledge  program 
usually  lasted  ten  weeks. 

The  fraternity  had  four 
purposes,  to  serve  the  com- 
munity, campus,  chapter  and

country.  The  organization 
was  heavily  affiliated  with 
the  Boy  Scouts  and  sought 
college  students  who  wanted 
to  give  back  to  the  commu- 
nity. Thy  group  focused  and 
emphasized  their  cordinal 
purposes  of  leadership, 
friendship,  and  service. 

"Of  the  cardinal  principles 
I  have  found  friendship  to 
rise  above  the  others  because 
I  feel  that  the  other  principles 
will  turn  out  to  be  ineffective 
if  friendships  formed  through 
the  brotherhood  are  not 
strong,"  Kevin  Duce  said. 

The  service  fraternity  had 
two  main  philanthropies.  In 
the  fall,  they  held  White 
Christmas,  when  members  of 
the  group  went  around  and 
collected  canned  foods  from 
people  and  businesses.  The 
food  drive  benefited  the  St. 
Thomas  Moore  soup  kitchen. 
In  the  Spring  they  held  the 


Ugly  'Nole  on  campus,  a  con- 
test where  organizations 
drew  the  ugliest  'Nole  face 
they  could  and  voted  with 
money  to  help  make  their 
face  win.  The  Ugly  'Nole  con- 
test benefited  the  Tallahassee 
Coalition  for  the  Homeless. 
Throughout  the  year,  the  fra- 
ternity did  many  service 
projects  such  as  helping  fix 
up  old  houses  and  being  a 
part  of  the  Adopt-a-Highway 
program.  They  also  ran  a  dis- 
cout  book  outlet  in  the  stu- 
dent union  as  well  as  planting 
trees  in  front  of  the  new  li- 
brary, helping  Easter  Seals 
and  the  Ronald  McDonald 
House  and  washing  the  gar- 
net and  gold  route  buses. 

"We  are  just  trying  to  give 
something  back  to  the  com- 
munity. The  more  support 
we  show,  the  more  we  will  get 
in  return,"  Jana  BuUington 
said. 

Alpha  Phi  Omega  holds  no 
official  fraternity  social  func- 
tions. However,  working  to- 
gether they  have  formed  close 
friendship  and  often  just  get 
together  as  friends. 

"Since  our  organization  is 
founded  on  service  projects 
done  in  the  community,  it  is 
important  for  us  to  be  able  to 
work  together  with  a  feeling 
of  unity  and  respect,  not  only 
for  those  that  the  service  is 
performed  but  for  the  broth- 
ers as  well,"  Kevin  Bruce 
said.

In  the  spring  of  1973,  19 
industrious  women 
chartered  the  Kappa  Ep- 
silon  Chapter  of  Delta  Sig- 
ma Theta  Sorority.  Since 
then,  the  women  of  the 
Kappa  Epsilon  chapter 
continued  to  strive  for  ex- 
cellence in  all  of  their  ac- 
ademic, extra-curricular 
and  community  service 
endeavors.  In  keeping  with 
thier  motto  -  "Intelligence

—  the  chapter  members 


Kappa  Alpha  Theta  ben- 
efitted the  Court  Appoint- 
ed  Special  Advocates 
when  they  held  their  Battle 
of  the  Greek  Gods.  Fra- 
ternities competed  in  field 
day  events,  a  pageant,  and 
scholarship  also  factored 
into  who  would  win. 

Theta  had  many  socials 
to  help  liven  up  each  se- 
mester. Some  memorable 
ones  were  a  Bikers  and 
Babes  Social  with  Lambda 
Chi  Alpha,  a  Jungle  Social 
with  Sigma  Chi  and  a  Dis- 
co Social  with  Delta  Tau 
Delta.  They  also  made 
time  to  hold  a  hayride  and 
their  New  Year's  formal. 

"The  attitude  of  the  girls 
and  the  way  they  present 
themselves  is  what  drew 
me  to  Theta,  their  sincer- 
ity and  friendly  attitude 
made  choosing  the  right

Greeks  on  cam- 
pus came  to- 
gether to  sup- 
port many 
worthy  causes 
ranging  from  March  of 
Dimes  to  the  American  Heart 
Association  to  helping  the 
homeless.  But  the  war  in  the 
Persian  Gulf  was  a  different 
cause  for  the  Greek  system  to 
unite  behind. 

Nearly  all  of  the  Greek 
walls  which  normally  sport 
logos  for  upcoming  events 
displayed  patriotic  messages 
in  red,  white  and  blue.  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon  painted  their 
lion  and  Kappa  Sigma  paint- 
ed their  missle. 

"It  looked  like  a  SCUD 
that  didn't  go  off,"  John  Coo- 
per, a  Kappa  Sig  brother  said. 

Smart  bombs  were  a  part  of 
the  strategic  bombing  raids 
in  operation  Desert  Storm. 
Chung  Wong  stands  next  to  a  gift 
for  Iraq.  Soldiers  often  wrote  mes- 
sages on  bombs  signifying  their 
hometowns,  fraternities  and 
friends. 


Many  sororities  and  frater- 
nities hung  supportive  ban- 
ners and  American  flags,  tied 
yellow  ribbons  around  their 
trees  and  posts  and  hung  oth- 
er patriotic  decorations.  Al- 
pha Tau  Omega  helped 
everyone  welcome  our  troops 
home  by  putting  yellow  rib- 
bons all  over  campus. 

Sororities  and  fraternities 
showed  their  support  through 
the  mail  also.  Many  sororities 
such  as  Kappa  Alpha  Theta, 
Pi  Beta  Phi  and  Gamma  Phi 
Beta  wrote  letters  to  the  sol- 
diers. Many  sororities  and 
fraternities  also  sent  care 
packages  and  Alpha  Gamma 
Delta  sisters  got  pen  pals. 

Pi  Kappa  Phi  and  Chi  Phi 
both  took  their  efforts  fur- 
ther. Pi  Kaps  sang  the  Na- 
tional Anthem  before  their 
intramural  basketball  games 
to  show  their  support.  They 
also  attended  rallies  at  the  Vi- 
etnam Veteran's  Memorial  in 
support  of  the  war.  Chi  Phi 
co-sponsored  a  blood  drive 


with  Hooters  to  benefit  the 
troops  in  the  Medeast. 

"The  blood  drive  was  very 
successful  and  we  hope  this 
will  help  our  troops  in  Op- 
eration Desert  Storm," 
Christopher  Miller,  Chi  Phi's 
philanthropy  chairman,  said. 

No  doubt  that  the  Gulf  war 
affected  each  fraternity  and 
sorority  in  some  way  with 
loved  ones  over  there.  How- 
ever, perhaps  most  directly 
affected  were  Chi  Phi  and 
Theta  Chi.  Collectively  the 
two  fraternities  had  three  ac- 
tive members  called  up  to 
serve. 

Chi  Phi  brother  Doug 
Viney  served  in  the  Army  for 
two  years  and  was  involved 
in  the  Panama  invasion  be- 
fore he  came  to  the  univer- 
sity. He  was  called  back  up  to 
serve  in  the  Gulf  war  but  only 
made  it  as  far  as  Hawaii  be- 
fore the  war  ended.  He 
planned  to  return  for  the  91 
Fall  semester. 

Theta  Chi  had  two  broth- 
ers called  up  to  serve.  Both 
Chung  Wong  and  Garrett 
Braitlye  were  called  up  from 
the  reserves.  The  Theta  Chi 
brothers  wrote  and  sent  them 
care  packages.  Chung's 
brothers  fraternity  pin  ar- 
rived while  he  was  overseas 
and  they  sent  it  to  him.  The 
fraternity  also  posted  infor- 
mation about  how  they  were 
doing  in  the  house  and  made 
efforts  to  stay  in  touch  with 
their  families.

ternity.

uning  in  to  Tradition 


he  university  was 
home  to  many  long- 
standing traditions 
and  perhaps  one  of  the  best- 
loved  was  the  Marching 
Chiefs.  The  band  celebrated 
its  40th  year  under  the  name 
of  "Marching  Chiefs"  as  well 
as  being  the  largest  college 
marching  band  in  the  coun- 
try. 

The  Chiefs,  all  450  of 
them,  started  practice  each 
August  and  performed  for 
football  fans  all  through  the 
season.  In  addition  to  foot- 
ball games,  they  also  provid- 
ed services  for  Booster  As- 
sociation events,  team  send 
offs,  away  games  and  other 
sporting  events  and  univer- 
sity activities. 

The  band  was  under  the  di- 
rection  of  Mr.  Robert 
Sheldon,  who  was  quick  to 
point  out  that  all  of  the 
Chiefs  joined  the  organiza- 
tion on  a  strictly  volunteer 
basis. 

"We  don't  provide  any 
marching  band  scholarships. 


Band  members  like  this  one 
made  up  tiie  450  strong 
Marctning  Chiefs.  The  Chiefs 
performed  at  home  and  away 
footboil  games  as  well  as  com- 
peting at  several  competitions. 

The  Majorettes  were  an  or- 
ganization that  enhanced 
the  performances  of  the 
Marching  Chiefs.  Here,  one  such 
Majorette  performs  with  the 
Chiefs  at  a  home  game. 


SO  the  upward  of  fifteen 
hours  a  week  band  members 
put  in  is  all  volunteer  time," 
Sheldon  said. 

In  addition  to  Sheldon,  the 
Chiefs  were  instructed  by  res- 
ident arranger  Charlie  Car- 
ter, graduate  assistant  Bill 
Bell  and  graduate  students  in 
the  music  school  who  volun- 
teered their  services  for  var- 
ious tasks. 

Students  became  Marching 
Chiefs  by  completing  an  ap- 
plication from  the  band  of- 
fice. In  July,  students  were 
sent  invitations  to  preseason 
training  to  learn  the  music 
and  marching  style.  On  the 
average,  about  500  students 
showed  up  for  training;  450 
of  them  would  become 
Chiefs. 

"Those  qualified  will  be- 
come what  we  call  'the  block.' 
The  others  are  asked  to  be 
alternated  or  'glue  crew,'" 
said  Sheldon.  Glue  Crew 
members  helped  with  props, 
equipment  and  logistical 
problems. 


The  group  was  composed 
of  approximately  28  percent 
music  majors.  The  rest, 
Sheldon  said,  came  from 
every  possible  major. 
"Scholastically,"  said 
Sheldon,  "they  average 
higher  gradewise  than  most 
student  groups."  There  was 
also  a  high  return  rate  of 
band  members,  including 
some  graduate  students  who 
were  seven  year  Chiefs. 

Sheldon  wanted  people  to 
realize  how  much  hard  work 
the  band  put  in.  "I  think  it's 
important  that  the  public  re- 
alize that  the  Chiefs  work 
very  hard.  They  want  to  en- 
tertain the  crowd,  so  the 
crowd  response  is  really  im- 
portant to  them.  That  is  real- 
ly their  only  payment." 

"Probably  the  greatest  re- 
sponse from  the  crowd  is 
when  a  visiting  band  comes 
and  (the  crowds)  realize  what 
they've  got,"  Sheldon  said.

Lambda  Pi  Eta 


Lambda  Pi  Eta  was  a  recently  formed  organization  on 
campus.  Communication  students  petitioned  the  na- 
tional chapter  of  Lambda  Pi  Eta  and  formed  a  local  chapter 
that  boasted  a  membership  of  82  members. 

The  main  purpose  of  Lambda  Pi  was  to  promote  the 
interests  of  seniors  in  communication,  as  well  as  the  Com- 
munication Department  in  general.  The  organization  was 
unique  in  that  instead  of  focusing  on  the  interests  of 
students  in  a  very  specific  communication  tract,  it  accepted 
seniors  from  related  fields. 

They  held  a  panel  discussion  featuring  professionals 
from  various  communication  fields,  held  a  career  fair  with 
student  government,  participated  in  events  with  alumni 
and  worked  to  help  graduating  seniors  with  writing  their 
resumes  and  job  networking. 

In  the  future,  they  wanted  to  focus  on  the  needs  of 
graduating  seniors  even  further  and  held  resume  writing 
workshops  and  various  other  activities  relevant  to  this 
group  of  outstanding  students. 

In  order  to  join,  it  was  required  that  the  student  had  a 
grade  point  average  of  3.2  on  all  communication  work, 
took  nine  hours  of  communication  classes  and  a  had  a  3.0 
GPA  overall.  Also,  a  desire  to  work  and  promote  the 
interests  of  the  organization  was  required.

Cuong-Nhu  Karate  Club 


The  Cuong-Nhu  Karate  Club  was  founded  by  Mr.  Vu 
Trinh.  Trinh,  a  fourth  degree  blackbelt,  taught  the  art  at 
the  university  since  1976.  In  a  community  atmosphere,  the 
members  of  the  class  learned  and  developed  self-discipline, 
self-defense,  self-confidence  and  physical  fitness.  Trinh, 
five  other  blackbelt  instructors  and  over  50  students  of  all 
ages  worked  together  to  make  the  organization  fulfilling, 
challenging  and  enjoyable. 

The  Cuong-Nhu  Karate  Club  met  three  times  a  week  in 
the  Union  Ballroom.  It  was  a  free  class,  open  to  all  FSU, 
FAMU,  and  TCC  students,  as  well  as  the  public.  The  class 
met  all  year  round  with  breaks  for  holidays. 


Adult  Education  Club 


The  Adult  Education  Club  at  the  University  provided 
graduate  students  and  faculty  an  opportunity  to  present 
and  discuss  current  issues  and  trends  focused  in  the  re- 
search and  practice  of  adult  education. 

Club  members  were  involved  in  the  development  of  ten 
presentations  on  selected  topics  of  special  interest,  par- 
ticipation in  a  national  conference  presentation  represent-

The  Real  Estate  Society  ^ 


The  purpose  of  the  FSU  Real  Estate  1  »ciety  was  to  pro- 
vide opportunities  for  members  to  en,  mce  their  knowl- 
edge of  the  real  estate  industry  through  professional  ac- 
tivities and  contact  with  practitioners. 

Meetings  were  held  every  two  to  three  weeks  during  the 
semester  and  provided  speakers  in  areas  such  as  :  appraisal, 
development,  sales,  law,  investments  and  other  important 
areas.  These  meetings  are  usually  followed  with  a  social 
activity  at  a  local  restaurant  or  night  club.  An  organized 
trip  to  a  real  estate  business  to  Mardi  Gras  and  Orlando 
were  highlights  of  the  year.

away  to  col-

iste  of  freedom.  Unfortu- 
ately,  for  some,  that  free- 
om  could  lead  to  prob-

he  university  offered 
elp  for  chronic  partiers  in 
le  form  of  the  Campus 
Icohol  and  Drug  Infor- 
lation  Center. 
CADIC  was  in  its  six- 
;enth  year  on  campus, 
Qd  a  similar  facility  could 
e  found  on  each  of  Flor- 
ia's  nine  state  university 
ampuses.  The  program 
'as  funded  through  the 
>epartment  of  Health  and 
.ehabilitative  Services 
nd  also  received  funds 
rom  Student  Govern- 
lent. 

CADIC  was  a  resource 
nd  referal  center.  Stu- 
ents  could  use  the  center 
)  obtain  research  materi- 
Is  on  almost  any  kind  of 
rug  or  alcohol.  They  had 


information  on  specific  drugs 
and  their  effects,  drinking 
and  driving,  advice  for  party 
hosts,  or  hot  lines  to  help 
someone  who  may  have  had 
a  drinking  or  drug  problem. 
They  also  provided  confiden- 
tial referals  to  self-help 
groups  on  or  off  campus. 
CADIC  did  not  do  any  coun- 
seling of  students  with  prob- 
lems. 

The  director  of  the  center, 
Carolyn  Cornelison,  said  the 
portion  of  the  campus  pop- 
ulation with  drinking  or  drug 
problems  was  similar  to  that 
of  the  rest  of  the  population. 
"I  think  statistically, 
throughout  the  country,  we 
say  84  to  90  percent  of  our 
students  drink  or  have  tried 
alcohol." 

Cornelison  said  that  the 
center  "gained  a  tremendous 
response  from  our  students 
in  the  last  several  years."  All 
of  the  center's  services  were 
free  of  charge,  and  the  staff 
was  more  than  happy  to  as- 
sist with  any  problem  or 


questions  students  might 
have  had.  According  to 
Cornelison,  the  Center  was 
especially  busy  in  the  fall  se- 
mester. 

"This  semester  we've  done 
a  tremendous  amount  (of 
referals).  You  don't  want  to 
say,  'yeah,  we've  got  a  lot  of 
people  calling'  but  the  fact 
that  people  know  we're  here 
and  we're  available  to  serve 
the  students,  to  me  that's 
what  is  important,"  Corne- 
lison said. 

Some  of  the  groups  CADIC 
referred  students  to  were 
available  on  campus.  BAC- 
CHUS (Boost  Alcohol  Con- 
sciousness Concerning  the 
Health  of  University  Stu- 
dents) was  directly  affiliated 
with  the  center.  It  was  a  na- 
tional organization  with  350 
chapters  nationwide.  Its  pur- 
pose was  to  promote  respon- 
sible decision  making  con- 
cerning the  use  or  non  use  of 
alcohol. 

GAMMA  (Greeks  Advo- 
cating the  Mature  Manage- 


ment of  Alcohol)  was  also  af- 
filiated  with  CADIC. 
GAMMA  stressed  alcohol 
awareness  among  greeks. 
Each  fraternity  or  sorority 
appointed  a  representative  to 
the  council.  They  met  to  dis- 
cuss problems,  share  ideas. 

Another  service  provided 
by  SGA  was  the  Designated 
Driver  Program.  This  pro- 
gram provided  a  free,  safe 
ride  home  to  students  who 
had  too  much  to  drink.  Rides 
were  available  Wednesday 
through  Saturday  from  1 1 :00 
p.m.  and  3:00  a.m. 

"It's  a  free  ride,  they  don't 
ask  about  underage  posses- 
sion or  anything  like  that. 
They  just  want  to  make  sure 
you  get  home,"  Cornelison 
said. 

CADIC  was  also  available 
to  do  presentations  for  stu- 
dent groups  or  to  train  a 
group  member  to  do  their 
own  presentation.  All  referals 
by  CADIC  were,  of  course, 
confidental.

Federalists  Societ 


The  Federalist  Society  was  a  group  of  conservative  and 
libertarian  law  students  who  were  interested  in  the  cur- 
rent state  of  the  legal  order.  It  was  founded  on  the 
principles  that  the  state  exists  to  preserve  freedom,  that  the 
separation  of  governmental  powers  is  central  to  our  Con- 
stitution and  that  it  was  the  duty  of  the  judiciary  to  say 
what  the  law  was,  not  what  it  should  have  been.  The  society 
promoted  an  awareness  of  these  principles.  The  Federalist 
Society's  events  were  highlighted  by  the  fall  debate  series. 
The  debate  was  between  renowned  University  of  Chicago 
law  professor  Richard  Epstein  and  our  own  Steven  Gey. 
The  divergent  views  of  the  two  professors  on  the  takings 
clause  of  the  U.S.  Constitution  was  thoroughly  entertaining 
to  the  audience,  both  live  and  watching  on  overflow  mon- 
itors. 

The  Society  held  at  least  one  major  event,  either  a  debate 
or  a  symposium,  and  events  such  as  hosting  conservative 
and  libertarian  attorneys,  judges  and  scholars  for  a  lunch- 
time  address  or  discussion.

:ked  with  organizations  on  campus,  but  this  time  in 


an  administrative  capacity. 
Arnold  was  the  director  of 
the  Florida's  Office  for  Cam- 
pus Volunteers. 

She  lobbied  the  legislature 
for  the  funding  for  the  office 
while  she  was  still  a  student 
and  then  decided  to  come 
back  and  apply  for  the  job 
when  the  position  was 
passed. 

"This  is  a  project  that,  be- 
cause I  was  able  to  take  the 
idea  and  envision  what  it 
would  be  like  if  it  was  suc- 
cesful,  that  took  a  place  in  my 
heart,"  Arnold  said. 

The  office  was  the  state- 
wide office  which  promoted 
volunteerism  on  68  college 
campuses  in  Florida.  They 
were  not,  however,  affiliated 
with  the  Volunteer  Center. 
Arnold's  office  was  a  state 
position,  while  the  Volunteer 
Center  was  a  Student  Gov- 
ernment agency. 

The  function  of  the  state 
office  was  to  help  colleges  in 
setting  up  volunteer  pro- 
grams on  their  campuses. 
They  provided  grants  to 


schools  and  conducted  con- 
ferences to  help  organize 
their  efforts. 

Arnold  said  reaction  to  her 
office  was  positive.  "We  just 
have  incredible  support, 
from  students,  statewide  col- 
leges and  their  presidents." 
She  said  that  part  of  the  rea- 
son she  took  the  position  was 
that  after  lobbying  for  it,  she 
felt  respopnsible  for  its  suc- 
cess. "I  felt  like  a  lot  was  on 
my  shoulders  to  help  this  be  a 
success.  I  wanted  to  maintain 
my  credibility." 

Even  though  starting  a  new 
organization  could  be  a  has- 
sle, both  Arnold  and  Graff 
loved  what  they  were  doing 
and  believed  strongly  in 
volunteerism. 

"It's  such  an  up  thing  right 
now.  Community  service  is 
becoming  so  popular  and 
really  a  part  of  your  educa- 
tion when  you're  in  college," 
Arnold  said.

The  Financial  Management  Association  was  an  inter- 
national professional  organization  which  was  designed 
to  aid  in  the  professional  and  social  development  of  future 
finance  executives. 

The  chapter  of  FMA  was  the  newest  and  largest  chapter 
in  the  world  with  over  two  hundred  twenty  members.  In 
addition  to  sponsoring  a  diverse  array  of  speakers,  they 
offered  many  other  activities  and  services  to  their  members 
and  to  the  college  of  business  as  a  whole.  Some  of  these 
included:  classes  on  the  use  of  Hewlett  Packard  Financial

BACCHUS 


In  Classical  Greek  mythology  BACCHUS  was  known  as 
"the  god  of  wine."  BACCHUS  was  an  acronymn  for  a 
student  group  that  got  together  to  promote  the  idea  of  good 
fun,  good  times,  good  friends,  with  out  the  excessive  use  of 
alcohol.  The  group  held  regular  meetings,  cookouts  and 
other  activities.

the  Health  of  University  Students)  educated  the  campus 
about  alcohol  issues  as  they  participated  in  programs  such 
as  National  College  Alcohol  Awareness  Week  and  National 
Collegiate  Drug  Awareness  Week. 

BAACHUS  worked  closely  with  the  Designated  Driver 
Program,  the  Dean  of  Students  and  Student  Government 
to  promote  responsible  decision  making  regarding  the  use 
or  non-use  of  alcohol  and  drugs.

pasting  Black  History 


efore  there 
was  any  histo- 
ry, there  was 
Black  History"  read  the 
shirt  of  Todd  Myrick,  a 
black  student.  This  was  the 
message  that  was  con- 
veyed by  the  Black  Stu- 
dent Union  in  celebration 
of  Black  History  Month. 

"Because  of  the  fact  that 
most  standard  American 
History  textbooks  only  ac- 
knowledge black  people 
and  their  significance  in 
history  through  the  20  or 
so  pages  that  they  set  aside 
for  the  issue  of  slavery,  we 
find  it  necessary  and  prop- 
er to  articulate  the  fact 


that  black  people  and  black 
culture  have  made  monu- 
mental contributions,  not 
only  to  American  History, 
but  to  the  entire  perspective 
of  World  History"  pro- 
claimed Benjamin  Crump, 
president  of  the  Black  Stu- 
dent Union.  Dr.  Carter  G. 
Woodson  created  Black  His- 
tory Week  (later  expanded 
into  Black  History  Month)  to 
instill  pride  and  admiration 
in  people  of  African  descent 
about  their  history  and  their 
heritage. 

Many  organizations 
worked  cohesively  with  the 
Black  Student  Union  to  pres- 
ent    diverse    programs 


throughout  the  month  of 
February.  Unity  Jam  '91 
kicked  off  the  celebration. 
This  was  a  cooperative  effort 
along  with  the  Florida  A&M 
University  Student  Govern- 
ment Association.  "When 
you  think  about  it,  the  Unity 
Jam  is  good  way  to  start  off 
the  month,"  said  Sonya  Law, 
a  FAMU  student.  "Because 
parties  are  well  attended," 
she  continued,"it  served  as  a 
good  source  of  communica- 
tions for  other  events  during 
Black  History  month.  And 
it's  always  good  for  the  two 
schools  to  come  together." 

This  program  was  followed 
by  the  Black  Student  Lead- 


Student  Affairs  Board 


f^rrc:rf\  Qi 


rhe  Student  Affairs  Advisory  Board's  function  was  to 
counsel  and  advise  the  Vice  President  for  Student  Af- 
airs  in  developing  meaningful  and  effective  student  pro- 
rams  in  the  division.  It  was  also  to  bring  to  the  attention  of 
he  Vice  President  any  situation  in  the  informal  life  of 
earning  which  might  be  contradictory  to  the  educational 
)urposes  of  the  university. 

The  membership  included  student  groups  such  as  In-

conference  sponsored  by  the 
university  and  many  student 
organizations  to  provide  so- 
lutions to  help  better  the 
Florida  State  black  commu- 
nity, and  in  turn,  better  the 
Florida  State  community  at 
large.  Rev.  A.J.  Richardson, 
the  pastor  of  Bethel  A.M.E. 
church,  delivered  the  keynote 
address  at  the  conference.  He 
noted  that.  "This  conference 
is  the  start,  but  what  is  im- 
portant is  what  we  do  after 
we  leave  here  today." 

Omega  Psi  Phi  Fraternity, 
Inc,  helped  to  sponsor  the 


presentation  of  the  movie 
"Roots"  here  on  campus. 
"We  felt  it  would  be  a  good 
idea,  since  most  of  the  stu- 
dents on  campus  were  very 
young  when  "Roots"  first 
aired  on  television  back  in 
1976,"  Daniel  Rowe,  presi- 
dent of  the  organization  said. 
Pan  Greek  also  presented 
Black  Oasis,  a  festival  that 
recognized  the  culture  of 
Black  people. 

The  "Ebony  Extravagan-

popular  event  of  the  month. 
It  was  a  celebration  of  culture

University  Women  in  Science 


University  Women  in  Science  (UWIS)  was  an  organ- 
ization that  offered  a  support  network  for  women  stu- 
dents in  the  sciences,  worked  to  create  links  among  women 
scientists,  promoted  recognition  of  the  achievements  of 
women  scientists  and  sought  to  provide  educational  and 
career  opportunities. 

UWIS  met  onece  a  month  during  the  academic  year. 
Meetings  included  activities  such  as  seminars,  panel  dis- 
cussions, luncheons  and  pot  luck  dinners.  On  a  grander 
scale,  in  conjunction  with  the  Association  of  Women  in 
Science  (AWIS),  UWIS  made  an  effort  to  reach  out  to  the 
university  community  by  organizing  a  mentoring  program 
which  was  designed  to  promote  the  motivation  of  women 
and  minorities  to  pursue  occupations  and  careers  in  sci- 
ence, math  and  engineering  fields.  For  the  community  at 
large,  UWIS  helped  to  coordinate  a  program  called 
"Expanding  Your  Horizons"  in  an  effort  to  attract  seventh 
and  eighth  grade  girls  to  the  sciences. 

UWIS  meetings  were  designed  to  suit  the  needs  of  the 
members;  membership  input  was  highly  valued.  A  schedule 
of  UWIS  monthly  meeting  was  provided  on  a  semester  by 
semester  basis.

Black  History  Month  ended 
with  a  panel  discussion  pre- 
sented by  the  BSU  on  the 
subject  of  "What  being  black 
means  to  me." 

"It  is  great  injustice  to 
black  people  and  American 
society,  when  you  can  open 
up  Webster's  Dictionary  and 
find  that  the  definition  of 
'Nigger'  is  no  longer  defined 
as  an  ignorant  person.  The 
definition  of  'Nigger'  is  now 
defined  as  a  Negro,  and/or  a 
person  of  a  certain  ethic 
group  with  a  dark-skinned 


complexion,"  said  Crump. 
"The  Black  Student  Unic 
has  done  a  tremendous  jc

Trey  Travesia,  president  <

Mortar  Board 


Mortar  Board  was  a  national  honor  society  that  selected 
its  senior  membership  for  outstanding  scholarship, 
leadership  and  service.  Membership  was  limited  to  40 
members  and  each  spring  new  initiates  were  elected  to 
begin  their  senior  year  of  active  service. 

The  1 99 1  membership  began  the  year  actively  by  raising 
funds  with  doughnut  sales.  Over  two  hundred  dollars  was 
raised  to  support  the  group's  activities.  During  the  fall 
semester  at  their  monthly  meetings  they  hosted  faculty 
speakers  that  included  Dr.  Sandon  speaking  about  the 
faculty  senate  and  Dr.  Madsen  speaking  about  scholarship 
and  choices. 

In  the  spring  semester  their  Torchbearer  Chapter  of 
Mortar  Board  celebrated  its  60th  anniversary.  Coinciding 
with  national  Mortar  Board  Week,  their  chapter  organized 
and  hosted  a  panel  discussion  on  multi-cultural  affairs  on 
Feb.  13.  The  event,  entitled,  "Cultural  Diversity  at  FSU: 
Multiculturalism  or  "Just  Another  Course  Requirement" 
was  a  productive  gathering  of  faculty  and  students  in  which 
the  issues  of  multiculturalism  at  the  university  and  the  new 
class  requirement  were  discussed. 

Their  membership  drive  ended  the  semester  and  ori- 
entation and  initiation  occured  during  the  honor's  week  of 
April  8-12.  The  new  members  were  enthusiastic  about  the 
year  to  come  and  plans  for  the  National  Mortar  Board 
convention  were  already  in  the  making. 


MBAA 


The  Master  of  Business  Administration  Association  was  a 
univeristy  chartered  organization  that  strived  to  provide 
professional  and  social  activities  for  the  entire  class.  Their 
class  consisted  of  three  interrelated  programs.  The  largest 
program  consisted  of  close  to  60  students  taking  60  hours 
over  two  years.  There  was  also  one  for  the  one  year  pro- 
gram. They  took  three  semesters  to  fulfill  their  require- 
ments. Finally  the  part-time  students  came  during  those 
nocturnal  class  hours  to  churn  out  a  degree. 

These  diverse  groups  needed  a  common  voice  and  that 
was  where  we  came  in.  Their  first  task  was  to  welcome  and 
introduce  themselves  to  all  the  new  students  before  they 
arrive.  A  friendly  letter  was  sent  to  all  the  new  students 
asking  them  to  feel  free  to  join. 

The  group  socialized  at  fall  football  games.  Dr.  Scott's 
magic  Haloween  party  and  the  more  subdued  Dean  Dale 
Williamson's  suare.  These  events  came  mostly  in  the  first 
semester  when  it  was  hard  to  meet  everyone.  But  slack  was 
quickly  taken  up  as  people  met  and  worked  together  in 
marketing  projects,  the  hall,  ISM  and  McDonalds. 

Job  fairs,  resume  workshops,  guest  speakers  and  other 
symposiums  filled  their  calendar.

Union  Board 


The  Union  Board  provided  students,  faculty  and  staff 
activities,  programs  and  services.  The  Board  represented 
the  university  community  and  ensured  that  facilities,  serv- 
ices and  amenitites  were  offered  as  necessary  or  convenient 
in  order  to  meet  the  needs  and  interest  of  the  University 
community.

Kappa  Omicron  Nu 


Kappa  Omicron  Nu  was  the  national  Home  Economics 
honor  society.  It  was  established  on  February  21,1 990 
by  the  consolidation  of  Kappa  Omicron  Pi  and  Omicron

Circle  K  International 


Circle  K  International  was  a  world-wide  service  organ- 
ization for  college  students.  It  was  the  largest  collegiate 
organization  of  its  kind,  with  over  15,000  members. 

The  group  was  sponsored  by  Kiwanis  International,  an 
organization  of  business  and  professional  persons. 

The  main  objectives  of  CKI  were  service,  leadership  and 
friendship. 

The  group  was  active  with  other  groups  such  as  Easter 
Seals,  Red  Cross,  the  Tallahassee  Housing  Foundation, 
Someplace  Else  runaway  shelter,  the  Ronald  McDonald 
House  and  countless  others. 

Circle  K  International  was  considered  "a  great  way  to  get 
involved  and  serve  the  community  at  the  same  time."

pus. The  Marching  Chiefs  re- 
ceived new  uniforms  and  res- 
idence halls  were  blessed 
with  cable  television,  due  to 
the  efforts  of  SGA.  Charles 
Marrelli,  student  senate  pro 
tempore,  said  "In  the  past, 
we  thought  of  student  gov- 
ernments as  catering  to  a 
small  group  of  students  who 
lived  on  campus.  Now  we  in- 
clude everyone:  older  stu- 
dents, those  who  live  off  cam- 
pus, handicapped  and 
international  students." 

In  fact,  Marrelli  sponsored 
at  least  five  bills  providing 
programs  that  would  asssist 
international  groups,  such  as 
Indians,  Koreans,  and  Pales- 
tineans,  integrate  into  the 
university  system.  Marrelli 
said,  "The  large  goal  is  to 
eventually  provide  an  inter- 
national student  union." 

Senate  also  worked  to  pro- 
vide a  more  economic  trans- 
portation system  for  off- 
campus  students.  They  nego- 
tiated a  "free  fare  zone"  with 


the  city's  bus  system.  It  per- 
mitted all  students  with  val- 
idated identification  to  ride 
free  in  an  area  ranging  from 
Pensacola  to  Tennessee 
Streets. 

One  of  the  most  important 
tasks  that  SGA  handled  was 
trying  to  complete  and  evenly 
disperse  the  3.5  miHon  dollar 
budget.  Peter  Collins,  busi- 
ness school  senator  and  ap- 
propriations chair,  said,"We 
had  the  most  ambitious  time 
schedule  in  our  history.  Our 
budget  this  year  was  I  mil- 
lion dollars  larger  than  last 
year's.  Many  organizations 
knew  this  and  requested  in- 
creases; however,  the  money 
was  already  committed  to  the 
recreation  center."  One  ob- 
jective was  to  ensure  that  the 
money  was  spent  to  benefit 
the  students.  A  $30,000  po- 
sition with  the  recreation 
center  was  cut  to  fund  ad- 
ditional student  activities. 
Collins  said,  "Anytime  you 
can  cut  a  questionable  sala- 
ried position  and  give  the 
money  back  to  the  students, 
you've  done  something 


worthwhile." 

Adapting  to  growth,  diver- 
sity and  change  were  the 
goals  shared  by  all  of  the 
members  of  the  executive 
branch.  Brian  Philpot,  stu- 
dent body  vice  president, 
said,"With  a  new  university 
president,  our  joining  the 
ACC  and  a  projected  popu- 
lation of  40,000  ten  years 
from  now,  Florida  State  will 
continue  on  this  path  of 
change.  SGA  will  answer  the 
call  to  change,  to  be  the  stu- 
dents' voice  through  it  all." 

With  the  departure  of  Stu- 
dent Body  President  Trey 
Travesia  and  Vice  President 
D.D.  Homsby,  newly  elected 
Brian  Philpot  and  Yvonne 
McGhee  planned  to  repre- 
sent change  and  diversity. 
Philpot,  a  sophomore,  was 
the  youngest  candidate  to  be 
elected  to  the  prestigious  po- 
sition, and  McGhee  was  the 
first  black  female  to  serve  as

Beta  Kappa  Alpha 


Beta  Kappa  Alpha  was  a  Greek  Honorary.  It  was  intended 
to  be  both  a  means  and  an  end  for  promoting  excellence 
among  the  Greeks  at  the  university. 

As  an  end.  Beta  Kappa  Alpha  was  a  reward  for  scholastic 
achievement.  It  was  a  unique  distinction  to  be  among  the 
top  scholars  in  the  Greek  system. 

Beta  Kappa  Alpha  was  a  means  of  promoting  academic 
achievement  and  membership  in  Beta  Kappa  became  a 
goal  for  Greeks  as  they  entered  the  system  at  the  Uni- 
versity. Additional  efforts  to  promote  the  scholastic  en- 
deavors of  Greeks  included  seminars  and  scholarships 
sponsored  by  Beta  Kappa. 

Beta  Kappa  hoped  to  continue  its  efforts  and  expand  to 
other  universities  where  it  could  have  been  an  intergral 
part  in  Greek  academics  as  it  had  at  the  university.

The  University  Orientation  Center  promoted  the  growth 
and  development  of  all  new  students  by  giving  them  a 
personaUzed  introduction  to  the  university.  The  intention 
of  this  organization  was  to  assist  the  academic  and  personal 
adjustment  of  the  students  by  creating  a  set  of  learning 
experiences  which  would  help  the  student  become  oriented 
to  the  opportunities,  resources  and  responsibilities  of  uni- 
versity life. 

Orientation  played  a  vital  role  at  the  university  by  fos- 
tering the  identification  of  the  student  with  the  university 
and  building  a  student's  confidence.  It  also  supplied  a 
positive  impact  on  student  retention.

Catholic  Campus  Ministry 


Baha'i  Club 


The  purpose  of  the  club  was  to  acquaint  those  interested 
with  the  tenets  of  the  Baha'i  Faith  such  as,  unity  of 
mankind  and  religions,  oneness  of  God,  peace,  equality  of 
men  and  women,  universal  education  and  elimination  of 
prejudice  of  all  kinds.  By  sponsoring  lectures,  panel  dis- 
cussion, informal  gatherings,  social  activities  and  public 
meetings,  the  club  aspired  to  implement  the  principles. 

The  club  organized  a  series  of  talks  that  dealt  with 
current  social  issues,  sponsored  a  panel  discussion  with 
speakers  who  represented  various  religions  and  beliefs  and 
held  weekly  public  meetings.  Furthermore,  the  club  spon- 
sored a  musical  concert  that  called  for  unity  in  diversity. 
Members  of  the  Baha'i  Club  participated  in  Martin  Luther 
King's  parade  to  show  their  support  for  racial  unity,  and 
visited  Nursing  Homes  and  entertained  the  residents. 

To  promote  unity  and  co-operations,  the  Baha'i  Club 
supported  other  club's  projects,  fund  raising,  social  ac- 
tivates and  participated  in  intramural  volleyball.

Supporting  Spiritually  (Contd) 


The  experience  gained  by 
the  trials  and  tribulations  of 
high  school  was  highly  valued 
by  the  members  of  Young 
Life.  This  ministry  attempted 
to  reach  the  younger  students 
with  the  good  news  of  the 
Gospel  in  a  non-threatening 
way  and  in  a  manner  differ- 
ent from  the  traditional 
church  service. 

"Most  of  the  college  lead- 
ers volunteered  their  time  be- 
cause they  were  influenced  by 
their  Young  Life  leaders 
while  they  were  in  high 
school,"  Barkley  French,  a 
member  of  Young  Life,  said. 

In  addition  to  the  time 
spent  with  the  high  school 
students,  the  collegiate 
Young  Life  members  led  sep- 
arate Bible  studies  for  college 
and  high  school  students. 

"It's  okay  to  be  a  Christian. 
They're  normal  people  who 


like  to  have  fun  too  and 
Young  Life  was  a  great  way 
to  have  fun,"  French  said. 

The  Fellowship  of  Chris- 
tian Athletes  had  a  weekly 
time  set  aside  for  Christian 
fellowship  between  intercol- 
legiate athletes  and  students. 
Among  the  leaders  in  FCA 
were  some  common  faces  in 
the  university's  athletic 
world  such  as  wide  receiver, 
Matt  Frier,  duo  sportsman  in 
football  and  basketball,  Char- 
lie Ward;  and  Softball  out- 
fielder Becky  Harrison. 

"FCA  was  a  chance  to  take 
a  time  out  of  a  busy  college 
schedule  and  reflect  on  the 
things  that  are  more  impor- 
tant in  Ufe,"  Matt  Ferguson, 
offensive  guard  and  secretary 
of  FCA  said. 

The  Christian  athletes  and 
students  found  it  challenging 
to  'walk  the  walk'  in  the  col- 


legiate lives.  Members  said 
that  their  inspirational 
theme,  "No  Compromise" 
helped  them  to  get  through 
the  days  of  long  practices  and 
hours  of  studying. 

Other  parachurch  organi- 
zations included  Inter  Varsi- 
ty Christian  Fellowship, 
Campus  Crusade  for  Chirst, 
the  Christian  Campus  House, 
and  many  others.  Through 
the  approach  of  each  minis- 
try may  have  differed  the 
goals  and  purposes  were  the 
same,  to  proclaim  Christ  and 
to  encourage  students  in  be- 
coming more  like  Him.

Phi  Beta  Lambda 


Phi  Beta  Lambda  was  an  organization  in  the  college  of 
business.  It  was  the  college  counterpart  of  high  school's 
Future  Business  Leaders  of  America.  Their  goal  was  to 
provide  additional  opportunities  for  students  in  business  to 
develop  vocational  and  career  supportive  competencies 
and  to  promote  civic  and  personal  responsibility. 

Members  held  chapters  meetings,  community  service 
projects  and  fundraising  on  a  local  level.  There  were  also 
district,  state,  regional,  and  national  conferences.  The  con- 
ferences consisted  of  leadership  workshops,  motivational

cause of  its  size  and  the  lure 
of  the  Florida  sunshine. 
Claiming  that  his  favorite 
team  was  Wake  Forest,  he 
quickly  became  a  die-hard 
Nole  fan  and  committed  stu- 
dent leader. 

James  was  president  of  Sig- 
ma Nu,  FSU  director  for  the 
March  of  Dimes,  and  Inter 
Fraternity  Council's  Greek 
Week  talent  night  chairman. 
He  was  also  a  Scalphunter 
and  was  involved  with  Order 
of  Omega  as  well  as  serving 
on  IFC's  judicial  board.  With 


all  the  activities  James  had  to 
keep  him  busy,  he  fondly  re- 
called winning  the  Pi  Beta 
Phi  hne  dance  as  one  of  his 
most  memorable  moments. 

James  took  pride  in  an  or- 
ganization that  he  came 
across  as  "luck."  The  March 
of  Dimes  truly  became  top 
priority  to  him.  He  was  the 
FSU  Director  for  the  March 
of  Dimes'  Tri-CoUegigate 
Board,  the  first  such  board  in 
the  country  according  to  the 
March  of  Dimes. 

"The  March  of  Dimes  is 
the  type  of  charity  that  you 
really  can  see  the  difference.  I 
can  see  how  it  has  affected 
people  and  it  has  changed 
me,"  James  said, 

James  was  hoping  that 


through  Walk  America,  col 
lege  students  would  partici, 
pate  and  perhaps  make  th< 
March  of  Dimes  a  part  Oi 
their  life  when  they  depar 
from  school. 

"Right  now  as  students,  wi 
have  more  free  time  an( 
waste  more  time,  and  I'm  no 
talking  about  people  wh( 
work  their  way  througl 
school.  I'm  talking  about  lay 
ing  around  playing  Nintendt 
or  drinking  aU  night.  Whei 
we  get  out  into  the  real  worl( 
we  won't  have  that  luxur 
and  now  is  the  time  to  decid' 
and  experiment  about  wha 
we  want  to  do  and  who  w 
want  to  help,"  James  said. 

James  planned  on  intern 
ing  in  summer  and  retumin

-J— f  you  were  interested  in 
I  lobbying,  it  wouldn't 
I  have  hurt  to  pay  a  visit  to 
Tamara  Sirota,  director  of 
student  lobbying.  She  was 
one  of  the  people  knocking 
on  legislators  doors  during 
session. 

"We  lobbied  to  keep  tui- 
tion down.  The  House  and 
Senate  agreed  on  the  propos- 
al instead  of  the  Board  of  Re- 
gents," Sirota  said. 

"Every  time  tuition  goes 
up,  people  complain,  yet  they 
won't  vote.  If  the  entire  stu- 
dent body  of  28,000  students 
would  vote,  they  could  influ- 
ence the  outcome  of  an  elec- 
tion," she  continued. 

Sirota,  along  with  her  staff, 


registered  students  to  vote  in 
the  fall  semester.  She  also  in- 
vited all  students  to  partic- 
ipate in  Lobby  Day. 

"Lobby  Day  is  a  day  that 
we  spend  at  the  capital.  We 
let  lawmakers  meet  us  and 
present  them  our  ideas.  The 
Marching  Chiefs  will  be 
there,  along  with  the  Flying 
High  Circus,"  Sirota  said. 

As  a  Gamma  Phi  Beta  sis- 
ter and  a  Chairperson  of  the 
Women  as  Leaders  Confer- 
ence, Sirota  stayed  busy  at- 
tending conventions  and 
planning  meetings.  She  was  a 
member  of  the  American  As- 
sociation of  University  Stu- 
dents and  held  the  title  of 
Chairperson  of  the  Southern 


Region.  She  interned  for  th( 
Florida  House  of  Represent! 
atives  under  Representativf  ■ 
David  Flagg. 

Sirota  was  a  20  year  ok! 
senior  from  Ft.  Lauderdah' 
and  was  majoring  in  Politica  j 
Science  and  Economics. 

"I  hope  to  work  for  a  com 
pany  in  their  governmenta 
relations  department,"  Sirot< 
said. 

Sirota  said  she  was  alwayil 
looking  for  people  to  assis' 
her  efforts.  She  could  b( 
found  in  the  Cabinet  OfTia! 
and  was  eager  to  help  the  stu ' 
dents  learn  about  lobbying.

•  eather  Allen  was  an 
.^  I  Alpha  Gamma  Delta 
_j|  sister  from  Colorado 
ings,  Colorado.  This  en- 
;tic  senior  came  to  the 
^ersity  to  become  an  op- 
singer.  If  you  didn't  know 
ather  you  probably 
Idn't  picture  her  as  an  op- 
singer. 

Jlen  definitely  broke  the 
eotypes.  She  was  attract- 
to  the  University  because 
conservatory  ranked  in 
top  five  in  the  country, 
i  admitted  that  the  lure  of 
beach  had  a  lot  to  do  with 
ilso.  After  the  success  rate 
singers  was  presented  to 
,  she  decided  that  business 


mangement  was  better  move. 

"I  am  going  to  get  my  MBA 
as  soon  as  I  graduate.  I  am 
interested  in  going  to  Duke, 
the  University  of  North  Car- 
olina at  Chapel  Hill  or  maybe 
staying  here.  I  would  like  to 
work  for  the  government  as 
an  analyst.  I  hope  to  may  be 
own  a  consulting  firm  one 
day,"  Allen  said. 

In  addition  to  serving  as 
membership  chairman  of  her 
sorority,  Allen  was  also  a 
member  of  Alpha  ELappa  Psi 
professional  business  frater- 
nity. She  was  a  Lady 
Scalphunter  and  was  made  a 
member  of  Phi  Kappa  Phi 
Honorary  Society.  She  was 


also  an  active  member  of 
Wildwood  Presbyterian 
Church. 

In  her  free  time  Allen  con- 
sidered  herself  a 
"homebody."  She  liked  to 
read  and  watch  movies.  She 
said  you  won't  usually  find 
her  in  clubs,  but  maybe  at  the 
sorority  house. 

Although  she  was  proud  of 
Alpha  Gamma's  achieve- 
ments in  high  grade  point  av- 
erages, she  did  not  like  com- 
petition among  sororities. 

"I  want  to  see  more  unity, 
through  Panhellenic,  be- 
tween aU  of  the  sororities."

The  Inter  Fraternity 
Council  vice  presi- 
dent, Rob  Hearn, 
piayea  a  large  role  in  Greek 
relations. 

The  Relations  Committee, 
an  idea  of  Heam's,  not  only 
brough  the  community  closer 
to  understanding  the  Greek 
system,  but  it  also  gave  hope 
for  some.  The  committee 
held  a  blood  drive  which 
raised  money  for  two  chil- 
dren in  need  of  wheelchairs. 
It  was  that  sort  of  involve- 
ment that  insipred  Hearn  to 
run  for  IFC  vice  president. 
"I  saw  some  things.  I  want- 


ed to  help  motivate  people  to 
get  involved.  I'd  like  to  see 
closer  relationships  between 
the  fraternities  and  the  IFC 
relationship  with  the  frater- 
nities," Hearn  said. 

Hearn,  a  23  year  old  sen- 
ior, was  a  Sigma  Pi  fraternity 
brother  from  Altamonte 
Springs.  He  was  majoring  in 
international  relations. 

"I'd  like  to  go  overseas  and 
maybe  start  a  business.  It  will 
be  interesting  to  see  how  the 
European  economy  will  take 
off  after  1992,"  Hearn  said. 

You  could  also  have  seen 
him  around  campus  promot- 


ing "Double  Vision."  Vision 
took  place  to  help  students 
recognize  and  report  date 
rape.  It  took  a  different  ap- 
proach, students  acted  out 
date  rape  through  a  series  of 
skits. 

"This  helps  students,  guys 
and  girls,  to  understand  when 
date  rape  is  happening.  Many 
kids  are  confused  and  they 
have  rights.  This  is  better 
than  a  lecture  because  you 
can  act  it  out,"  Hearn  said. 

Fishing,  playing  tennis  and 
flying  planes  were  all  pas- 
times of  Rob  Hearn.

ior majoring  in  media 
performance.  Meghan  could 
have  been  seen  on  Channel 
40  News  reporting  local  arts 
and  entertainment.  Meghan 
started  out  as  an  intern  and 
moved  on  to  report  her  own 
segment.  Meghan  hoped 
hoped  to  travel  abroad  and 
become  a  foreign  correspon- 
dent. 

"I  plan  on  attending  grad-

business  news  and  one  day 
get  into  feature  documenta- 


ries. Directing  and  producing 
interests  me  also,"  Cunning- 
ham said. 

If  you  didn't  catch  Meghan

cover  Bobby  Bowden's 
200th. 


Her  advice  to  freshmen  ii 
terested  in  broadcasting  wa 
"Start  now,  get  all  the  expe 
eince  you  can.  Go  to  telev 
sion  stations  and  get  ii 
volved.  It  seems  like 
sacrifice,  but  it  will  pay  off. 

Cunningham's  other  acti 
ities  included  reporting  f( 
V89  News,  writing  for  tl 
Famuan  and  waterskiin

ice  President  for 
Student  Affairs  Dr. 
John  Dalton  knew 
that  with  busy  schedules,  stu- 
dents might  not  have  the 
time  to  make  an  appointment 
with  administrators  to  dis- 
cuss their  problems.  So  on 
Wednesday,  Sept.  5,  Dalton 
came  to  the  students.  He 
sported  a  sign  which  read, 
"The  Vice  President  is  in," 
Dr.  Dalton  set  up  shop  in  the 
Union  courtyard  amid  the 
flea  market  merchandise. 

"I  really  enjoy  the  oppor- 
tunity to  interact  informally 
with  students,"  said  Dalton. 
The  Union  booth  was  his  way 
of  conveying  his  interest  in 
students  in  a  symbolic  way. 


"I've  found  that  being  in  a 
place  where  you're  accessible 
is  good  for  the  students." 
Dalton  said  he  decided  to  set 
up  shop  in  the  Union  because 
he  understands  it's  difficult 
to  get  to  see  busy  adjminis- 
trators. 

Students  approached  Dal- 
ton with  a  variety  of  issues. 
Topics  ranged  from  the  lack 
of  air  conditioning  in  some 
residence  halls  to  bike  facil- 
ities. Some  students  had 
complaints  —  the  difficulty 
in  getting  some  English  class- 
es, parking  problems  or  re- 
luctance to  pay  the  Florida 
Public  Interest  Group  fee  in- 
cluded in  the  tuition.  Some 
students  had  questions  such 


as  how  to  use  the  arts  an 
crafts  programs  or  wb 
spouses  can't  use  campus  rei 
reation  activities  for  free.    I 

Others  had  suggestion 
One  would  like  to  see  a  moi 
extensive  recycling  prograi 
in  the  residence  halls.  Daltc 
said  he  has  kept  a  file  of  sti 
dents'  issues  and  hopes  to  g( 
back  to  the  individual  sti 
dents  with  answers. 

Not  everyone  had  con 
plaints,  though.  Dalton  sai 
that  out  of  the  thirty  to  fon 
who  stopped  by,  about  ha 
just  wanted  to  say  hello  ( 
just  introduce  themselves.

ver  the  summer, 
imany  interesting 
things  ocurred.  Some 
students  went  home,  some 
stayed  for  summer  session 
and  others  studied  abroad. 
One  of  the  more  unique 
study  programs  happened  in 
the  Soviet  Union,  an  ex- 
change program  that  in- 
volved Florida  Stae  and  So- 
viet theater  students. 

Dean  Gil  Lazier  and  Oleg 
Tabakov  came  up  with  the 
idea  for  an  exchange  program 
in  1987.  After  three  years  of 
dealing  with  red  tape,  the  ex- 
change program  was  finally 
approved  by  both  countries. 

In  May,  20  Soviet  theater 
students  and  faculty  mem- 
bers came  to  the  University 


for  a  month.  During  that 
time  they  studied  musical 
theater,  which  was  unavail- 
able in  the  Soviet  Union. 
They  stayed  in  Cash  Hall 
during  their  visit  and  got  a 
general  feel  of  the  campus. 
During  the  day,  students 
went  to  classes  and  at  night 
they  participated  in  the  nor- 
mal activities  of  Florida  State 
patrons. 

On  weekends,  the  group 
went  on  excursions  to  Disney 
World,  the  Oslo  Theater  in 
Sarasota,  Pebble  Hill  Planta- 
tion, the  Reservation,  andj 
sporting  events  such  as  FSU 
baseball. 

"It  was  so  amazing  when 
we  took  the  Soviets  to  Winn 
Dixie,  they  just  stood  in

/|  cceleration  was  the 
,J_,  key  to  Krishna 
^y  Nayak's  early  en- 
trance into  the  University. 
Krishna's  father  felt  that  ac- 
celerating his  children  would 
be  a  good  way  for  them  to 
learn  more  and  have  a  better 
chance  at  competing.  Krish- 
na's sister  graduated  from  the 
university  one  year  prior  to 
his  entrance  and  was  in  her 
second  year  at  Emory. 

Nyak's  diligent  study  hab- 
its resulted  in  with  the  option 
to  skip  four  years  of  school 
before  entering  high  school. 
After  completing  the  credits 
needed  to  graduate,  Nyak  en- 
tered the  university  at  the  age 
of  14. 

Nyak,  was  studying  com- 
puter science,  but  was  not 
positive  that  would  become 


his  definite  major.  Though 
commuting  and  taking  a  full 
load  of  classes,  Nyak  found 
time  to  work  in  the  university 
computer  lab  and  at  the  Math 
Help  Center.  Over  the  sum- 
mer, Nyak  planned  on  intern- 
ing for  NASA  in  the  research 
department. 

"College  is  much  cooler 
than  high  school,  you  have  so 
much  freedom  here,"  Nyak 
said. 

Nyak  had  great  aspirations 
for  the  future.  "Although  I'm 
younger  than  most,  I  feel  like 
everyone  else,"  Nyak  said.  "I 
stress  over  my  busy  schedule, 
worry  about  college  things, 
and  oh,  yes-I  even  have  a  car 
and  motorcycle  just  like 
everyone  else."

hannon  Baker  was 

donned   "Shannon 

Baker,   touchdown 

'  with  good  reason.  If 

qJ      you  attended  any  football 

games,  you  couldn't  help  but 

hear  his  name.  When  you 

did,  six  points  were  added  to 

the  Seminole's  score. 

Baker's  accuracy  and  agil- 
ity started  at  the  age  of  seven, 
when  he  first  picked  up  the 
football. 

"It  is  strange  that  I  play 
offense.  When  I  picked  up 
the  football,  I  played  defense. 
I  didn't  play  a  whole  lot.  My 
mother  used  to  have  to  put  all 
these  pads  on  me.  But,  grow- 
ing up  in  my  neighborhood  I 
was  around  a  lot  of  talent. 
When  you  play  with  talented 
people,  like  in  sand  lot  foot- 
ball, you  develop  the  quick- 
ness you  need  to  play  at  a 
higher  level,"  Baker  said. 

"In  my  free  time  I  usually 
like  to  hang  out  with  my 


4o 


O 


^ 


friends.  I  don't  lead  a  boring 
life,  but  I  am  not  real  fast 
paced  either.  My  best  friends 
are  Omar  Ellison  and  my 
roommate,  Eric  Terrel.  I'm 
not  going  to  lie  to  you  and  tell 
you  that  you'll  find  me  at  my 
desk  studying  on  a  Friday 
night.  But  I  like  to  take  it 
slow,"  Baker  said. 

As  far  as  dating  went,  he 
remained  silent  on  the  issue. 
"My  Mom  is  my  girlfriend. 
She's  my  biggest  fan." 

Baker  was  recruited  out  of 
Lakeland,  Florida.  He  was 
the  only  child  of  a  single  par- 
ent. He  said  that  it  was  never 
a  hinderance. 

"My  Mom  and  my  Grand- 
mother really  spoiled  me.  I 
was  never  without  anything.  I 
was  reaUy  lucky  growing  up," 
Baker  said. 

He  also  ran  track.  "I  start- 
ed running  track  in  high 
school.  I  still  run.  I  like  it.  But 
what  I  really  love  is  basket- 


ball. My  favorite  team  is  the 
Lakers.  If  I  could  play  it  more 
I  would. 

Being  such  a  well  rounded 
athlete  carried  with  it  many 
high  goals  and  role  models. 
"If  I  could  play  for  any  NFL 
team  it  would  be  the  Dallas 
Cowboys.  Even  with  the  rec- 
ord they  have,  that  is  the 
team  that  I  have  always 
though  was  great  when  I  was 
little  and  I  have  always  loved 
them.  As  for  as  role  models 
go,  I  have  to  say  it  would  be 
Terry  Anthony  of  the  Fab 
Four.  I  really  like  the  way  he 
played  this  game  and  I  like  a 
lot  of  things  he  has  done," 
Baker  said. 

Many  moments  faded  once 
college  was  over,  but  one  that 
Baker  said  he  will  always  re- 
flect upon  was  his  first  col- 
legiate catch. 

"Last  year,  as  a  freshman, 
when  I  went  into  the  Clem- 
son  game,  I  got  a  deep  pass 


called  to  me  and  I  went  u] 
over  two  guys  and  cam 
down  with  the  catch.  Tha 
was  probably  the  best  time 
right  there.  I  was  jumping  uj 
going  crazy,"  Baker  said. 

Baker  said  that  one  of  th 
biggest  drawbacks  to  footba 
was  the  off-season,  becaus 
that  was  when  they  wer 
worked  the  hardest.  But  on 
of  the  most  rewarding  expe 
riences,  according  to  Bakei 
was  working  with  childrei 
He  loved  the  opportunity  t 
work  with  kids. 

"Whereas  a  lot  of  peopl 
don't  like  kids,  I  love  them, 
like  to  help  them  and  do  goo 
for  them." 

As  for  his  general  Ufestyl 
Baker  didn't  like  anythic 
too  hectic.  "I'm  just  a  day-b]j 
day  sort  of  guy.  I  don't  like  t 
plan  for  too  much.

chaplain  for  the  Seminole 
football  team  was  sought  by 
many.  As  a  result  of  the  ex- 
cess amount  of  inquiries  for 
the  staff  position,  the  pro- 
gram was  dropped. 

Before  the  1989  season, 
however,  Clint  Purvis,  III, 
minister  of  college  students 
at  the  First  Baptist  Church  of 
Tallahassee,  was  asked  to 
take  on  this  unpaid  position 
on  the  support  staff. 

Purvis'  job  reached  far  be- 
yond merely  leading  team 
chapel  services  and  pre-game 


prayers. 

"A  lot  of  people  think  all 
the  mental  preparation  and 
spiritual  support  is  done  20 
minutes  prior  to  the  game, 
but  if  you  don't  have  it  before 
then,  that  20  minutes  won't 
make  much  of  a  difference," 
Purvis  said. 

Purvis  served  as  a 
"sounding  board"  for  all  the 
pressure  between  players  and 
their  coaches  and  school. 

"I  sometimes  hear  the 
players  complain  about  their 
coaches  or  school  and  it's 
very  important  for  me  to  be 
mature  enough  not  take 
sides,"  Purvis  said. 

With  the  societal  pressures 
between  religious  belief  and 
public  education  Purvis  was 


careful  to  follow  school  pol 
icy  and  protocol,  as  weU  as 
NCAA  regulations. 

"You  have  to  find  and 
know  the  boundaries  so  you 
don't  go  against  the  rules  or 
offend  someone,"  Purvis 
said. 

Through  his  job  as  chap- 
lain Purvis  also  served  as  an 
informal  counselor  for  the 
team  and  even  performed 
weddings  for  some  of  the 
players. 

Purvis  said  that  when  he 
came  on  staff  many  players 
were  suspect  of  his  inten- 
tions. 

"A  lot  of  the  guys  saw  that 
I  was  white,  baptist,  and  a 
preacher  -three  strikes  and  I 
was  already  out!"  It  didn't 


take  long  for  most  to  realize 
Purvis  was  there  to  help  and 
soon  players  began  to  call 
him  when  they  had  a  prob- 
lem. 

"The  majority  of  the  guys 
know  I  care  about  them  and  I 
mean  what  I  say,"  Purvis 
commented. 

Paul  Reynolds,  student 
and  team  trainer,  added, 
"The  team  is  really  positive 
about  Clint.  He  doesn't 
preach  at  them  constantly  or 
beat  them  over  the  head  with 
a  bible.  He  just  talks  to  them, 
and  more  importantly,  listensi 
to  what  they  have  to  say."

^-T — ^  espite  the  steady  rise 
I  A  in  gasoline  prices, 
ly' don't  expect  Amer- 
icans to  steer  toward  car 
pooling,  said  a  university  re- 
searcher. 

"There  is  a  lot  of  idealism 
about  how  wonderful  car 
pooling  is  and  how  every- 
body should  share  rides  to 
and  from  work,"  said  Dr.  Jon 
Bailey,  a  psychology  profes- 
sor. "But  when  you  get  right 
down  to  the  nitty-gritty,  very 
few  people  are  actually  going 
to  do  it." 

Bailey,  who  studied  car 
pooling  during  the  energy  cir- 
sis  of  the  late  1970's,  said 
Americans  are  simply  not 
willing  to  endure  the  personal 


and  social  inconveniences 
that  it  involved. 

To  most  people,  he  said, 
daily  hassles  such  as  waiting 
for  riders  to  come  out  of  the 
house  or  dealing  with  other 
people's  sometimes  annoying 
habits,  outweigh  the  long 
term  savings  on  gasoline  and 
related  car  costs. 

"Somebody  comes  down 
with  a  cold  and  everybody's 
got  it,"  Bailey  said.  "An  ac- 
cident doesn't  injure  just  one 
person,  it  injures  three  of 
four.  People  spill  coffee  on 
you  new  car  seats.  It's  just  not 
hard  to  envision  the  negative 
consequences  of  car  pool- 
ing." 

For  many  people,  Bailey 


said,  the  time  driving  to  and 
from  work  was  the  only  time 
they  have  alone  all  day.  The 
rest  of  the  time,  they  had  to 
deal  with  co-workers,  family 
members  and  friends. 

"As  a  society,  we  are  very 
interested  in  preserving  our 
personal  space,"  he  said. 
"We  are  very  averse  to  deal- 
ing with  personal  conflict  and 
the  fact  that  we  might  have  to 
deal  with  that  conflict  is 
something  we  want  to  avoid. 
And  we're  willing  to  pay  a 
very  high  price." 

Bailey's  studies  showed 
that  employers  could  spur  car 
pooling  by  giving  those  who 
share  rides  rewards  such  as 
reserved  parking  spaces  or  a 


few  minutes  off  early  to  get  s 
jump  on  traffic. 

In  the  meantime,  he  said 
that  he  expects  budget  mind 
ed  Americans  to  off  sei 
higher  gasoline  prices  in  oth- 
er ways. 

"I  think  we'll  take  shortei 
trips,  stay  in  a  cheaper  hote 
and  come  back  from  vacatior 
a  day  earlier,"  Bailey  said.  "] 
think  we  won't  eat  dessert.  ] 
think  that's  where  the  saving; ^ 
will  come  from  as  opposed  tc 
trying  to  round  up  a  bunch  o 
folks  for  a  car  pool."

tudent  Body  Presi- 
dent, Trey  Traviesa, 
wasn't  always  a  lead- 


"I  ran  for  student  body 
president  in  high  school  and  I 
lost.  I  was  very  outgoing  . . . 
and  very  irresponsible.  When 
I  graduated  from  high  school, 
I  looked  around.  I  had  many 
friends  and  won  popularity 
awards,  but  I  didn't  have 
scholastic  awards.  I  didn't 
have  respect.  All  of  my 
friends  were  getting  scholar- 
ships and  I  realized  what  I 
had  was  worthless.  I  decided 
things  have  got  to  change," 
Traviesa  said. 

Things  had  indeed  changed 
for  Traviesa.  After  founding 
the  Seminole  Party  (along 
with  past  Student  Body  Pres- 
ident,  Sean  Pittman), 
Traviesa  started  his  own 
campaign  for  leading  Florida 
State.  He  remained  an  active 
member  of  Seminole  Ambas- 
sadors, Student  Alumni 
Foundation,  College  Repub- 
licans, Sigma  Phi  Epsilon 
Fraternity  among  other  or- 
ganizations. In  1988,  he  was 
a  member  of  the  Florida 


House  of  Representative's 
Committee  of  Students  Plan- 
ning for  Tomorrow. 

Traviesa,  however,  did  not 
surround  himself  with  lau- 
rels. A  few  certificates  of 
achievement  hung  on  his  of- 
fice walls.  No  photos  of  him- 
self and  area  leaders  greeted 
you  at  the  door.  One  notice- 
able photo  (which  hung  be- 
hind his  desk)  was  of  his 
grandfather. 

"He  has  been  my  biggest 
mentor.  If  I  could  grow  up  to 
be  half  of  what  he  is,  I'd  be 
happy,"  Traviesa  said. 

What  Trey  wanted  to  be 
was  accessible  to  the  stu- 
dents. He  welcomed  every 
knock  on  his  door  and  en- 
couraged all  students  to  come 
by  with  their  ideas. 

"If  someone  wants  to  come 
up  and  talk  about  parking  for 
a  half  hour,  so  be  it," 
Traviesa  said. 

Beore  he  left  the  university 
(with  degrees  in  finance  and 
English  and  a  minor  Span- 
ish), he  wanted  to  address 
policies  concerning  financial 
aid,  tuition,  minority  enroll- 
ment and  academic  advising.

"After  I  get  my  law  degree 
and  my  masters,  my  main  fo- 
cus will  be  to  start  my  family. 
I  want  to  get  a  good  job,  with 
a  good  company  and  focus  on 
my  family.  I  think  I  can  serve 
people  better  with  age.  May- 
be when  I  am  501  will  run  for 
U.S.  Senate.  I'll  wait  and  see 
what  happens,"  Traviesa 
said. 

On  the  weekends,  Trey 
could  almost  always  be  found 
in  town.  His  schedule  de- 
manded all  of  his  free  time. 

"If  I  can  get  away,  I  like  to 
take  off  to  St.  George,  I  love       ^ 
the  beach.  Sometimes  I  getC — ^ 
movies  or  try  to  go  dancing- 
even  though  I'm  a  horrible 
dancer,"  he  said. 

Trey  credits  any  success  to 
his  family  and  faith.  "My  « — '  • 
family  has  given  me  every- 
thing they  can.  I've  been  for- 
tunate. I  am  a  very  active 
Catholic.  My  faith  is  very  im- 
portant to  me.  I  think  these 
two  things  have  helped  me  do 
all  the  good  that  I  have 
done,"  Traviesa  said.

/\  t  age  15,  Gabrielle 
/  \  Reece  was  told  that 
^  1  she  was  too  tall  and 
r'oung  to  model  in  the  St. 
rsburg  area.  An  agency 
her  that  she  would  be 
2ct  in  Paris. 

le  did  not  go.  Her  mother 
"education  first"  and 
rielle  stayed  home.  Stay- 
home,  however,  was  a 
jing  in  disguise.  It  was 
le,  where  Gabby's  (as 
d  by  her  firends)  volley- 
career  blossomed.  The 
/ersity  took  notice  of  her 
and  recruited  her  to  play 
the  Lady  Seminoles.  It's 
i^onder  that  with  her  ath- 
expertise,  she  planned 
ecoming  a  sportscaster. 
3ece  still  had  a  love  for 
azines,  and  magazines 
d  her.  "Elle"  magazine 
ed  her  one  of  the  five 
t  beautiful  women  in  the 
d.  This  was  something 
rolled  her  eyes  at. 
Magazines  like  to  make 


an  exaggeration.  Every  mag- 
azine does  something  like 
that.  It  was  nice,  but  I  don't 
take  it  seriously,"  Reece  said. 

Reece  remained  an  active 
part  of  the  modeUng  scene. 
She  spent  her  summer  and 
fall  semester  at  school  and 
took  the  spring  session  off  to 
live  in  New  York.  Traveling 
to  places  like  Italy,  London, 
Paris  and  Egypt  were  all  rou- 
tine to  Reece.  She  still  pre- 
ferred Tallahassee. 

"Tallahassee  is  very  whole- 
some compared  to  living  in 
New  York.  There  is  a  lot  of 
violence  up  there  and  people 
in  the  modeling  business  can 
lead  eccentric  lives.  I  like  to 
slow  pace  that  is  here,"  Reece 
said. 

Recce's  life  was  anything 
but  slow.  Her  day  began  at 
6:45  a.m.  with  a  rigorous 
workout  with  her  teammates. 
After  early  morning  classes 
and  practice  in  the  late  af- 
ternoon, she  was  up  late  into 


the  night  studying. 

"I  don't  have  much  free 
time.  If  I  do,  I  like  to  go  to 
movies,  maybe  read  a  book.  I 
try  to  keep  in  touch  with  my 
friends,"  Reece  said. 

One  of  the  things  that 
Gabrielle  Reece  was  quick  to 
let  you  know  was  the  she  is 
like  anyone  else. 

"I  think  people  often  think 
that  I  lead  some  kind  of  per- 
fect life.  I  don't  think  that.  I 
am  very  happy.  I'm  not 
caught  up  in  my  own  life.  Not 
even  when  I  am  working.  I 
feel  that  when  people  are  giv- 
en a  certain  talent  that  they 
shouldn't  exploit  it.  Every- 
thing comes  back  if  you  do 
that,"  Reece  said. 

Reece  credited  her  coach, 
Cecile  Reynaud,  and  photog- 
raphers Coral  Wigeal  and 
Carol  Lavia  for  aiding  her  ac- 
complishments.

1991  commencment 
speaker  U.S.  Senator 
Bob  Graham  told  107 
graciuates  of  FSU's  Panama 
City  Campus  to  take  an  ac- 
tive role  in  their  futures  and 
to  build  strong  foundations 
for  the  futures  of  their  chil- 
dren and  grandchildren. 

One  graduate,  Dorothy  J. 
Castleberry,  exemplified  the 
kind  of  commitment  Graham 
advocated. 

Castleberry,  70,  is  the 
mother  of  ten  children,  six  of 
whom  are  college  graduates. 
She  delayed  her  own  educa- 
tion for  the  benefit  of  her 
family,  but  never  gave  up  the 
dream  of  earning  her  degree. 

In  April,  she  received  an 
ovation  for  her  lifelong  com- 
mitment to  the  pursuit  of  ed- 
ucation. 

The  1991  graduating  class 
was  the  largest  yet  for  the 
Panama  City  Campus,  with 
1 07  students  receiving  diplo- 
mas in  fromal  ceremonies 
and  87  others  who  graduated 
without  marching. 


Commencement  exercises 
were  followed  by  an  elaborate 
reception  sponsored  by  the 
Student  Government  Coun- 
cil. 

SGC  also  hosted  a  banquet 
for  the  graduates,  recognizing 
student  who  made  exception- 
al academic  or  who  worked 
diligently  for  the  university 
and  its  students. 

Students  at  the  FSU- 
Panama  City  Campus  came 
from  diverse  backgrounds. 
Many  were  young  people. 
Many  were  retired  military 
personnel  turning  to  teaching 
careers.  Others  were  mothers 
and  father  who  first  post- 
poned their  own  educations 
to  help  get  their  children 
through  school. 

Many  were  already  famil- 
iar with  the  working  world, 
and  they  brought  to  their 
studies  a  commitment  and 
maturity  that  made  the  Pan- 
ama City  campus  especially 
successful.

POLITICS 


In  The 
Soviet  Union 


The  1990-91  year 
proved  to  be  an  ex- 
tremely difficult  one 
for  Soviet  leader  Mikhail 
Gorbachev  and  his  country. 
With  his  sweeping  economic 
reforms  of  Perestroyka  came 
wide  spread  shortages  and  di- 
sidence.  Not  only  in  Russia 
but  in  the  republics  as  well. 

As  the  year  wore  on  the 
Baltic  republics  of  Lithuania, 
Latvia  and  Astonia  were  the 
loudest  voices  to  be  heard  for 
separation.  The  countries 
were  soverign  before  WWII 
and  desired  to  be  so  again. 

Faced  with  a  country  un- 
raveling  at  his  feet, 
Gorbachev  took  a  last  ditch 
action  by  ordering  Soviet 
troops  into  the  Baltics  to 
quell  the  unrest.  This  action 
was  poorly  received  by  the 
entire  world  community.  But 
the  War  in  the  Persian  Gulf 
provided  suficient  political 
cover  for  Gorbachev. 

The  unrest  in  the  Soviet 
Union  was  mostly  a  cause  of 
the  extremely  poor  living 
conditions,  which  grew  worse 
with  economic  reforms  to  al- 
leviate them.  Prices  of  basic 
consumer  foods  and  consum- 
er goods  skyrocketed.  Milk 
and  bread  tripled  in  cost  and 
eggs,  tea  and  cooking  oil  dou- 
bled. 

One  of  his  many  reforms  to 
improve  the  conditions  in  his 
country,  which  failed  was  a 
currency  exchange.  Citizens 
were  ordered  to  exchnage  all 
50  and  100  ruble  bank  notes 
for  lower  denominations.  But 
Soviet  citizens  lined  up  out- 
side banks,  complaining  that 
ordinary  people  were  the 
main  victims,  not  the  black 
market  he  was  trying  to  af- 
fect. 

Such  conditions  created  an 


extremely  unstable,  volitile 
political  environment  for 
Gorbachev.  The  Baltic 
States,  Georgia  and  Molda- 
via were  pushing  for  inde- 
pendence from  the  Union. 
Some  Central  Asian  repub- 
lics were  complaining  as  well, 
they  were  fed  up  with  sup- 
plying cheap  raw  materials  to 
the  center  and  paying  high 
prices  for  scarce,  shoddy  con- 
sumer goods. 

Gorbachev  was  increasing- 
ly losing  political  favor  and 
backing.  To  his  people,  the 
winner  of  the  Nobel  Peace 
Prize  seemed  unable  to  effi- 
ciently manage  the  affiars  of 
his  country.  Many  turned  to 
another  leader.  Crowds  gath- 
ered in  support  of  Boris  Yel- 
stin,a  maverick  Russian  lead- 
er who  favored  the  idea  of  a 
popularly  elected  president. 

Even  popularity  for  this 
new  leader  faded  as  store 
shelves  remained  empty. 


Popular  lethargy,  which  had 
reached  epidemic  propor- 
tions, was  hardly  a  spark  for 
iminent  revolution.  Even  at 
the  pro-Yelstin  rally  the 
mood  of  the  crowd  was  more 
curious  than  angry.  In  the  Far 
East  city  of  Petropavlovsk, 
panic  buying  became  almost 
routine.  Three  thousand  peo- 
ple reportedly  lined  up  at  a 
local  bank  to  withdraw  mon- 
ey, and  then  run  straight  to 
the  shops. 

It  became  clear  as  time 
wore  on,  that  a  mere  leader 
could  not  change  the  fortune. 
The  will  of  the  people  with 
strong  foreign  and  domestic 
backing  was  necessary  to  save 
the  country.  An  economy  and 
industries  that  dated  back  to 
the  early  1 900's  needed  to  be 
entirely  overhauled.

Soviet  leader  Mikhail  Gorbachev  greets  president  Bush  at  a  summit 
meeting  in  Washington,  D.C.  The  leaders  agreed  to  strive  for  a 
reduction  of  troops  in  Europe.  The  Bush  administration  later  rep- 
rimanded Gorbachev  for  his  treotement  of  the  Baltic  republics.

LJ 1      Review 

JIM  HENSON 

In  the  summer  of  1990 
there  was  a  silence  in  the  chil- 
dren's television  world.  The 
voice  of  that  lovable  green 
frog,  Kermit,  was  gone.  His 
creator  and  voice,  Jim  Hen- 
son  had  passed  away. 

Henson  was  the  pioneer 
who  created  the  world  re- 
nowned children's  television 
program  "Sesame  Street" 
and  later  created  "The  Mup- 
pett  Show." 

Henson  began  his  career  in 
the  50's  with  a  modest  local 
program  called  "Sam  and 
Friends"  in  Washington. 

"I  make  things  I'd  like  to 
watch,"  Henson  said.  He 
loved  to  watch  the  scenes  and 
stories  that  he  created.  He 
was  a  young  teenager  when 
TV  arrived,  and  he  devel- 
oped a  quick  fondness  for 
"Kukla,  Fran  and  Ollie." 

"Sesame  Street"  became 
an  institution  all  around  the 
world.  With  such  characters 
as  Bert  and  Ernie,  the  Cookie 
Monster  and  the  Grouch,  the 
show  captured  the  imagina- 
tions of  children.  It  enter- 
tained them  while  it  taught 
them  valuable  lessons  in  life. 

Using  charcter  such  as 
Kermit  the  Frog  and  the 
same  puppeting  approach, 
Henson  created  the  Muppet 
Show  in  1976.  The  show  was 
a  great  success  and  by  some 
counts  had  235  million 
viewers  around  the  world. 

In  a  mid-80's  interview, 
Henson  was  asked  if  he 
would  like  to  try  translating 
his  touch  with  pigs,  frogs  and 
and  cookie  monsters  to  peo- 
ple. 

"People?  No.  A  lot  of  other 
directors  are  good  at  people. 
What  I  know  are  creatures. 
They're  a  little  harder  to 
work  with,  but  I  know  how  to 
get  them  to  say  what  I  want," 
Henson  said

Advances 
In  The  90's 


T  brought  the  1990-91 
year  many  political 
changes  swept  the 
world  and  events  transpired 
that  will  be  imbedded  in  his- 
tory. But  some  of  the  most 
important  advances  were  not 
made  on  the  battle  field  or  in 
a  smoke  filled  room.  They 
were  made  in  the  laboratory. 

Advances  in  the  fields  of 
science  and  medicine  were 
made  all  over  the  world  with 
tremendous  impact. 

The  problems  with  the  en- 
vironment and  the  war  in  the 
Persian  Gulf  sparked  a  re- 
newed interest  in  alternative 
fuels. 

Steps  were  being  taken  that 
guaranteed  the  availability  of 
cars,  vans,  and  pickup  trucks 
powered  by  electricity,  nat- 
ural gas  and  reformulated 
gasoline  within  the  decade. 
Alcohol  fuels  such  as  meth- 
anol and  ethanol  were  also  on 
the  way.  The  Clean  Air  Act 
mandated  that  gasoline  be  re- 
engineered  to  reduce  harmful 
pollutants  and  required  that 
certain  commercial  fleets  use 
clean  fuels  such  as  domesti- 
cally produced  natural  gas. 

Compressed  Natural  Gas 
was  the  first  alternative  likely 
to  make  a  dent  in  gasoline 
sales.  It  was  cheaper  than  gas- 
oline, caused  less  tailpipe 
poUuction  and  came  from 
relatively  abundant  U.S.  and 
Candadian  sources.  About 
700,000  cars  and  trucks 
worldwide  used  CNG's. 

On  the  medical  front,  there 
was  an  increasing  occurance 
of  health  care  professionals 
with  AIDS.  An  estimated 
46,520  health  care  workers 
were  known  to  be  infected 
with  the  HIV  virus. 


One  such  worker,  that 
sparked  a  controversey  over 
reporting  HIV  infection  in 
health  care  workers  was  a 
Florida  Dentist.  One  of  his 
patients,  Kim  Bergalis,  was 
believed  to  have  been  in- 
fected by  him.  A  Johns  Hop- 
kins surgeon  who  was  in- 
fected also  operated  on  1,800 
people. 

There  were,  however,  ad- 
vances made  in  the  treatment 
and  discovery  of  the  HIV  vi- 
rus. Doctors  found  an  effec- 
tive treatment  for  AIDS- 
related  pneumonia.  An  early 
treatment  with  prednisone 
and  similar  steriods  could 
halve  the  death  rate  from 
Pneumocystis  carinii  pneu- 
monia, the  number  one  cause 
of  death  among  AIDS  pa- 
tients. 

In  order  to  raise  world- 
wide AIDS  awareness,  Dec.  1 
was  designated  as  World 
Aids  Day.  People  and  organ- 
izations dimmed  their  lights 
in  one  way  or  another  in  an 
effort  to  raise  contributions 
for  medical  research  and  care 
givers,  while  demonstrating 
that  they  planned  to  intensify 
their  efforts  to  find  solutions 
to  the  AIDS  crisis.  In  an  un- 
precedented act  of  coopera- 
tion, 23  major  cable  networks 
agreed  to  give  up  a  prime- 
time  minute  to  raise  aware- 
ness about  AIDS. 

AIDS  was  not  the  only 
medical  field  that  made  sev- 
eral breakthroughs.  Re- 
searchers were  watching  a 
new  gene-therapy  experiment 
for  signs  of  progress  in  the 
fight  against  cancer.  The  in- 
novative treatment  used  the 
body's  own  chemical  de- 
fenses to  fight  inoperable  tu- 


mors. Patients  were  injected 
with  their  own  genetically  al- 
tered white  blood  cells.  The 
hundreds  of  millions  of  cells 
wre  souped  up  with  copies  of 
a  gene  that  produced  an  anti- 
cancer enzyme.  The  cells 
would  them  home  in  on  the 
sties  of  inoperable  tumors, 
where  the  enzyme  would  dis- 
solve the  cancer,  leaving  the 
rest  of  the  body  unharmed. 

Also  in  the  medical  field,  a 
bitter  controversy  was 
sparked  over  a  French  abor- 
tion pill,  RU-486.  The  pill 
was  hailed  by  anti- 
abortionists  as  a  death  pill  af- 
ter a  woman  died  after  using 
RU-486,  plus  the  follow-up 
hormone  injection  to  in- 
craease  the  pills  effective- 
ness. 

In  a  related  area,  a  new 
birth  control  device  was  de- 
veloped. The  Norplant  was 
said  to  safely  prevent  preg- 
nancy for  five  years.  Six 
matchstick  size  implants 
were  inserted  into  a  womens 
arm;  the  implants  contained 
the  same  hormones  in  the 
pill.  Medical  ethicists  and 
women's  groups  were  wor- 
ried that  the  device  might  be- 
come a  form  of  coercive  birth 
control  that  could  be  used  a  s 
a  solution  to  teen  pregnancy 
and  to  stem  the  epidimic  of 
drug-addicted  babies. 

The  nationwide  health  care 
industry  was  not  without  its 
changes  as  well.  On  Jan.  1 
Medicare  began  covering 
part  of  the  costs  of  mam- 
mograms for  women  over  65. 
Medicare  paid  up  to  $44,  or 
80  percent  of  the  maximum 
allowed  $55  fee.

Downs 


It  was  a  year  of  ups 
and  downs  for  the 
world's  economic 
communities.  From 
sweeping  democratic  re- 
forms to  war  in  the  Per- 
sian Gulf,  world  events 
had  an  impact  on  every 
countrie's  economy. 

Political  reforms  in 
eastern  Europe  and  the 
Soviet  Union  led  to  wide- 
spread  economic 
changes.  Eastern  coun- 
tries such  as  Romania 
and  Poland  left  the  rel- 
ative economic  safety  of 
communism  for  freedom. 
The  countries  found 
themselves  separated 
from  the  support  of  the 
Soviet  Union  and  were 
thrust  into  a  cold  and 
harsh  economic  environ- 
ment. Unemployment 
became  a  new  word  in 
many  countries'  vocabu- 
laries, as  did  inflation 
and  hardship. 

The  economic  support 
of  many  western  coun- 
tries including  the  United 
States  and  West  Germa- 
ny helped  soften  the 
blows  of  reform. 

But  Germany  under- 
went a  reform  of  its  own. 
In  early  1990  the  two 
Germanys,  East  and 
West  were  reunited  eco- 
nomically and  politically. 
This  placed  an  incredible 
strain  on  the  two  coun- 
tries' people  and  econo- 
mies. The  west  had  to  in- 
tegrate a  run  down  and 
outdated  industry  and 
economy  and  the  east 
had  to  deal  with  the  difer- 
ences  between  capitalism 
and  communism. 

Europe,  however,  was 
not  the  only  economic 
community  to  feel  pain- 
ful economic  damages. 
The  winds  of  war  and  re- 
cession in  the  United 


States  led  to  an  economic 
downturn.  With  the  war 
in  the  Gulf  came  higher 
fuel  prices,  which  led  to 
higher  prices  on  many 
products.  Car  owners 
found  themselves  paying 
anywhere  from  1 5-30  per 
gallon  for  gasoline. 

An  industry  to  feel  the 
sting  of  higher  gas  prices 
even  more  so  than  the 
regular  consumer  was  the 
airline  industry.  Higher 
fuel  prices,  which  some 
claimed  were  the  result  of 
price  gouging  by  oil  com- 
panies, drove  some  air- 
lines to  and  over  the 
brink  of  disaster.  The 
prices  proved  to  be  the 
straw  that  broke  Eastern 
Air  Lines'  back.  After 
months  of  operating  un- 
der Chapter  1 1  bankrupt- 
cy, the  airline  was  forced 
to  file  for  Chapter  7  liq- 
uidation. Pan  American 
World  Airways  was  also 
driven  into  bankruptcy 
by  fuel  prices. 

But  the  war  that 
brought  on  this  economic 


harshness  was  just  what 
the  country  needed  to 
pull  itself  out  of  a  deep- 
ening recession.  The 
short  and  succesful  war 
renewed  consumer  confi- 
dence in  the  U.S.  econ- 
omy and  defense  stocks 
soared. 

The  country  was  ex- 
pected to  be  entirely  out 
of  the  recession  as  con- 
sumer confidence  re- 
turned and  the  Dow 
Jones  was  once  again 
flirting  with  the  3000 
benchmark. 

One  of  the  key  items 
that  helped  the  country 
into  that  recession  was 
the  budget  defecit.  The 
Bush  administration  put 
the  defecit  somewhere 
between  $300  and  $350 
billion.  And  that  figure 
did  not  include  the  esti- 
mated $30  billion  to  pay 
for  U.S.  troops  in  the  Per- 
sian Gulf.

SAMMY  DAVIS,  JR. 

Sammy  Davis  never  lived 
in  Las  Vegas,  but  he  credited 
the  city  with  giving  him  the 
chance  to  reach  superstar  sta- 
tus. 

Davis  and  Las  Vegas  hit 
the  big  time  together.  He  was 
just  emerging  into  stardom  in 
the  50's  when  Vegas  was 
moving  into  that  golden  era. 

"This  town  made  me  and 
there  ain't  no  doubt  about  it. 
This  town  made  me  what  I 
am  today,"  David  said  at  a 
1 976  benefit  dinner. 

Davis'  final  two  years  in 
Las  Vegas  were  spent  with 
Jerry  Lewis  at  Baly's.  Those 
shows,  and  his  national  tour 
with  Sinatra  and  Liza  Minelli 
allowed  Davis  to  exit  on  a 
high  note. 

He  died  of  cancer  in  the 
summer  of  1990. 


STEVIE  R  VAUGHAN 

Stevie  Ray  Vaughan,  the 
blues  guitarist  who  fought  his 
way  back  from  drug  and  al- 
cohol abuse,  died  in  a  tragic 
helicopter  accident  in  August 
of  1990. 

Vaughan  had  narrowly 
avoided  being  crushed  by  a 
30-foot  tall,  6-foot  wide  beam 
after  a  show  in  New  Jersey 
only  a  month  before. 

According  to  his  Uncle, 
Joe  Cook,  Vaughan  was  anx- 
ious to  get  home.  He  told  his 
older  brother  that  he  was  in  a 
hurry  to  get  back  with  his  fi- 
ance. 

Vaughan  boarded  the  hel- 
icopter that  was  to  carry  him 
and  four  others  to  Chicago. 
The  heUcopter  crashed  in  a 
field  about  12:35  a.m.  shortly 
after  taking  off  from  the  Al- 
pine Valley  concert  facility 
near  East  Troy,  Wis.

RYAN  WHITE 

He  was  only  1 2  years  old  in 
1984  when  he  contracted  the 
HIV  virus  through  blood 
clotting  treatment  to  combat 
his  hemophelia. 

Six  years  later,  at  1 8,  White 
clung  to  Ufe,  hooked  up  for 
seven  days  to  a  life  support 
system.  He  was  in  a  coma 
induced  by  the  painkillers 
and  sedatives  that  allowed 
his  body  to  toletate  the 
equipment. 

In  the  short  time  he  had, 
White  taught  the  nation  a  few 
things  about  AIDS,  that  any- 
body can  catch  it  and  those 
who  do,  deserve  to  be  treated 
with  love  and  compassion. 

"He  was  a  young  hero," 
Barbara  Cleaver,  of  Tor- 
rance, president  and  co- 
founder  of  Mothers  of  AIDS 
Patients-L.A.,  said.  "I  wish 
all  persons  with  AIDS  would 
just  come  out  and  stand  up, 
and  their  families  for  them.  I 
wish  all  parents  could  stand 
with  their  heads  high,  there's 
nothing  to  be  ashamed  of." 

White  and  his  mother 
Jeanne  were  among  the  first 
in  the  nation  to  stand  up.  In 
1985,  they  went  public  with 
their  tragedy,  taking  on  thier 
local  school  system  in  a  dis- 
crimination suit  after  Ryan 
was  barred  from  attending 
classes  at  Western  Middle 
School  near  Kokomo. 

"Through  Ryan  White's 
courage  in  speaking  out,  the 
public  now  understands  that 
there  is  no  scientific  basis  for 
discrimination.  Ryan  was 
really  an  inspiration  to  the 
entire  hemophiliac  and  AIDS 
communities,"  Alan  Brown- 
stein,  executive  director  of 
the  National  Hemophilia 
Foundation  said.

REVIEW 

Experiences  Change 
And  Controversy 


It  was  a  uniqe  year  at  the 
University.  From  Stu- 
dent Government  to  the 
school's  president,  all  parts 
of  life  were  effected.  New  fa- 
cilities were  built,  and  old 
ones  were  renovated.  It  was  a 
year  of  change  and  contro- 
versy. 

Not  only  was  the  Univer- 
sity chosen  as  the  site  for  the 
National  High  Magnetic 
Field  labratory  but  it  also 
added  a  new  Biomedical  Re- 
search Facility  and  a  multi- 
purpose gymnasium  and 
natorium.  Also,  one  of  the 
oldest  residence  halls  on 
campus,  Jennie  Murphree 
which  was  built  in  1912,  was 
closed  to  begin  its  $7  million 
renovation.  The  dorms  exte- 
rior brick  remained  but  the 
inside  of  the  building  was 
gutted.  The  traditional  rooms 
that  knew  many  students 
were  replaced  by  larger 
rooms  and  a  bathroom  for 
every  two  room  suite.  The 
electrical,  fire-alarm  and 
sprinkler  systems  were  also  to 
be  upgraded. 

But  not  everything  that  oc- 
cured  on  campus  was  so 
uplifting.  The  Student  Gov- 
ernment Association  was 
part  of  several  controversies. 
The  first  involved  the  Center 
for  Participant  Eduction. 
CPE  wanted  to  publish  two 
photos  by  Robert 
Maplethorpe  in  its  directory 
of  classes  which  was  funded 
by  SGA.  But  SGA  considered 
the  photos  to  be  unsuitable 
for  publishing,  the  decision 
was  upheld  by  a  student  com- 
mittee and  a  popular  student 
vote.  CPE  printed  the  direc- 
tory without  the  photos  be- 
fore the  vote. 

Another  controversy  was 


sparked  by  the  SGA  elections 
in  the  spring.  The  first  was  a 
last  minute  switch  from  Sen- 
ator Collins  to  Senator 
Philpot  as  the  Seminole  Party 
presidential  candidate.  The 
two  rival  parties.  Monarchy 
and  Renegade,  claimed  that 
the  switch  was  not  allowed. 
The  student  elections  com- 
mittee, however,  disagreed. 

Another  controversy  came 
from  allegations  of  ballot 
tampering  when  the  election 
results  were  not  announced 
right  away.  The  votes  were 
tallied  in  the  time  period 
allowed  by  SGA  election 
rules. 

Two  events  that  students 
rallied  together  against  were 
the  proposed  state  budget 
cuts  in  education  and  an  in- 
crease in  tuition  for  in  and 
out  of  state  students.  In  the 
late  spring  students  from 
Florida  State  and  other  state 
universities  gathered  at  the 
capitol  to  protest  the  planned 
tuition  hikes.  They  signed  a 
petition  reminding  legislators 
that  there  were  registered 
voters  and  urged  them  to  op- 
pose the  tuition  hikes  when 
the  budget  reached  the  House 
and  Senate  floors.  In  late 
April,  the  Univeristy  was 
slated  to  receive  more  than 
$18  million  in  Public  Edu- 
cation Capital  Outlay  funds 
toward  construction  projects 
in  the  state  budget. 

The  state  budget  was  not 
the  only  occasion  students 
had  to  come  together.  Stu- 
dents also  gathered  at  the  an- 
nual ice  cream  social  to  bid 
farwell  to  president  Bernard 
F.  Sliger  who  was  retiring  af- 
ter 1 5  years  at  the  University. 
Students  also  bid  farwell  to 
the  dean  of  the  College  of 


Human  Sciences,  Dr.  Marga- 
ret Sitton.  Sitton  announced 
her  retirement,  effective  Jan. 
1,  1992.  At  her  retirement 
she  will  have  served  as  dean 
for  more  than  1 9  years. 

The  university  also  lost  a 
valuable  alumna,  but  not  to 
retirement.  Actress  Nancy 
Kulp,  who  was  best  known 
for  her  role  as  Jane  Hathaway 
on  "The  Beverly  Hillbillies" 
died  of  cancer  at  the  age  of 
69.  Kulp  graduated  from  the 
Florida  State  College  for 
Women  with  a  degree  in  jour- 
nalism. She  was  involved  in 
several  charity  organizations 
at  her  home  in  Palm  Springs, 
such  as  the  Humane  Society 
of  the  Desert,  the  Desert  The- 
atre League  and  United  Cer- 
ebral Palsy. 

One  major  problem  that 
plagued  the  University  was 
that  of  campus  and  local 
crime.  Students  would  have 
liked  to  think  that  they  would 
never  be  affected  by  crimes 
but  the  incidences  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Florida  made  it  all 
too  plain.  During  1 990,  there 
were  12  campus  robberies, 
just  four  more  than  the  num- 
ber reported  in  the  first  three 
months  of  1991  according  to 
the  Tallahassee  Democrat. 
Students  on  and  off  campus 
felt  the  impact,  two  students 
were  robbed  after  a  previous 
incident  at  the  Alumni  Vil- 
lage. But  with  organizations 
such  as  Student  Govern- 
ment's student  escort  service 
and  devices  such  as  the  blue 
light  safety  trail,  increased 
lighting  and  awareness  the 
campus  police  were  able  to 
make  the  campus  safer  for 
students.

People  And  Events 
With  Impact 


The  year  was  filled 
with  events  too  nu- 
merous to  cover  in 
any  one  story.  From  tragic 
natural  disasters  to  sweeping 
political  victories,  the  world 
experienced  changes  that 
made  1990-91  an  incredibly 
unique  year. 

In  Nicaragua,  Violeta 
Chamorro  was  chosen  as  the 
country's  leader  in  a  general 
election  that  was  monitored 
by  more  than  3,000  interna- 
tional observers,  including 
the  United  Nations.  Chamor- 
ro followed  her  victory  with  a 
trip  to  the  United  States  to 
request  economic  aid  for  her 
country. 

Political  victories  here  in 
the  U.S.  included  the  confor- 
mation of  David  Souter  to 
the  position  of  Supreme 
Court  justice.  Souter  became 
the  Court's  105th  member  af- 
ter his  Senate  conformation. 

Another  uplifting  political 
moment  occured  for  General 
Norman  Schwartzkopf,  the 
commander  in  chief  of  the 
Persian  Gulf  forces.  During 
the  Queen  of  England's  Roy- 
al visit  to  the  United  States, 
she  bestowed  honorary 
knighthood  on  the  general  in 
Tampa.  The  general  became 
the  41st  American  to  receive 
knighthood. 

In  other  countries  political 
times  were  changing  as  well. 
After  45  years  of  a  cold  sep- 
aration the  two  Germanics 
were  fmally  reunified.  A  huge 
celebration  was  held  in  Berlin 
at  the  location  of  the 
Brandenberg  gate  and  was  at- 
tended by  world  leaders. 

On  the  environmental  side, 
Earth  Day  1991  was  held  on 
April  22.  It  was  the  21st  an- 


nual earthday  and  celebra- 
tions were  held  in  countries 
all  around  the  world.  A  huge 
celebration  was  also  held  in 
the  nation's  capitol.  Earth 
day  came  with  growing  pub- 
lic concern  over  the  environ- 
ment and  their  role  in  it.  Cor- 
porations  such  as 
McDonald's  took  part  in  the 
celebration.  The  company 
gave  away  saplings  free  of 
charge  during  Earth  Day 
weekend. 

But  all  environmental  oc- 
curences were  not  so  good. 
An  oil  tanker  off  the  coast  of 
Italy,  which  containd  four 
times  the  oil  spilled  by  the 
Exxon  Valdez,  burned  and 
eventually  sank.  The  ship  was 
loaded  with  970,000  barels, 
or  nearly  41  million  gallons, 
of  oil.  Another  incident  in 


Italy  involving  an  oil  tanker 
took  the  lives  of  139  people. 
In  Leghorn,  an  Italian  Ferry 
collided  with  an  oil  tanker 
setting  it  ablaze.  There  was 
only  one  survivor  from  the 
ferry. 

And  back  in  the  United 
States,  officers  from  the  Los 
Angeles  police  department 
were  indicted  for  the  beating 
of  Rodney  King.  The  inci- 
dent was  taped  by  amateur 
cameraman  George  Holiday. 
The  tape  showed  the  officers 
apparently  brutally  beating 
King  who  appeared  to  be  de- 
fenseless. At  the  time,  no  ver- 
dict had  yet  been  reached  in 
the  case.  But  it  did  spark  ma- 
jor protest  from  minorities  of 
the  police  department.

WORLD  WIDE 

Supreme  Court  Justice  David  Souter  is  sworn  in  as  president  Bush 
and  his  aides  look  on.  Souter  sparked  controversy  over  the  major 
Court  issue  of  abortion.  People  were  concerned  that  Souter  might 
be  the  vote  that  swayed  the  Court  one  way  or  the  other  on  the  issue.

DAVID  ABERNATHY 

In  the  late  spring  of  1990, 
the  world  lost  a  great  civil 
rights  leader.  Rev.  Ralph  Da- 
vid Abernathy,  Dr.  Martin 
Luther  King,  Jr.'s  chief  lieu- 
tinant,  died  at  the  age  of  64 
from  an  acute  pulmonary 
embolsim  at  Crawford  Long 
Hospital. 

His  son,  state  Rep.  Ralph 
David  Abernathy  III  said  his 
father  had  mixed  feelings 
about  the  achievements  of 
the  civil  rights  movement  he 
helped  to  create. 

"He  was  happy  with  some 
of  the  progress  we  have 
made.  I  serve  in  the  Georgia 
House  of  Representatives  be- 
cause of  the  work  my  father 
did,  but  he  always  told  me 
that  I  wouldn't  be  free  until 
everybody  was  free," 
Abernathy  said. 


DAVID  LEAN 

"Good  films  can  only  be 
made  by  a  crew  of  dediated 
maniacs,"  were  the  words  of 
renowned  British  film  direc- 
tor David  Lean. 

Lean  directed  such  feats  as 
"Lawrence  of  Arabia," 
"Doctor  Zhivago"  and 
"Bridge  on  the  River  Kwai." 
He  died  in  the  spring  at  the 
age  of  83. 

He  had  been  ill  earlier  and 
was  forced  to  postpone  pro- 
duction of  "Nostromo,"  an 
adaptation  of  Joseph  Con- 
rad's novel  set  in  South 
America. 

In  his  career,  Lean  moved 
from  intimate  dramas  to 
sweping,  big-budget  epics  set 
in  exotic  locations.  "I  prefer 
directing  stories  about  hu- 
man beings  in  a  little  comer 
of  the  world.  And  I  want  that 
place  to  have  hard  and  beau- 
tiful qualities,"  Lean  said  in 
an  interview  with  UPI. 


Covering  a  Tradition  from  a  [ 

Point  of  View 


When  I  walked 
into  room

Oglesby  Union,  I  had  no 
idea  what  to  expect.  The

T 


Rayburn. 

I  sat  down  on  the  long, 
grey  couch  and  smiled 
nervously  at  the  face 
across  from  me.  He  re- 
turned the  smile  and  in- 
troduced himself.   "Hi. 
My   name   is   Danny 
Hearn,       what's 
yours?"  he  said.  I  an- 
swered his  question 
and  we  talked  about 
school  and  the  dif- 
ferent sections  which 
we  wanted  to 
work  on  in  the 
book.   One  by 
one  new  faces 
entered     the 
room  and  gath- 
ered in  the  of- 
fice.    Editor 
Dana  Comfort 
came  into  the 
room  and 

welcomed  the 
new  and  old 
staff  members. 
She  gave  us  a 
course  descrip- 
tion and  told  us 

of  the  committment  and  dedication 
which  were  required  for  producing  the 
1991  edition  of  the  RENEGADE. 

Story  and  photo  assignments  were 
made  and  the  hard  work  began.  Pre- 
lims, pica  rulers,  croppers  and  grease 
pencils  became  a  part  of  my  daily  life. 

A  few  weeks  later,  section  editors 
were  chosen.  I  was  shocked  when  Dana 
announced  that  I  would  be  the  new 
Sports  Editor.  My  staff  consisted  of

missed  a  few 

classes  and  our 

social  lives  were 

sacrificed  many  times,  all  for  the  sake 

of  a  deadline.  I  kept  trying  to  reassure 

everyone  that  it  would  all  be  worth  it 

when  the  book  came  in. 

As  a  staff  we  made  lasting  friendships 
with  one  another  and  memories  good 
and  bad  that  we  can  only  look  back  and 
laugh  at. . .  spontaneously,  of  course.

s  the  year  began  to  wind  down,  change,  ex- 
perience and  progress  did  not. 

Candidates  were  interviewed  over  and; 
over  for  the  position  of  university  president. 
The  student  body  and  administration  ea- 
gerly awaited  a  decision. 
Athletically,  the  Seminoles  were  crowned  Metro  Conference 
Champions  in  more  than  one  sport  and  FSU  hosted  the  NCAA 
baseball  regional  tournament. 

New  buildings  like  the  biomedical  research  facility  and  ad- 
dition to  TuUy  Gym  were  only  clues  to  our  rising  progress  as  a 
university.  In  the  spring  semester,  the  search  committee  made  its 
decision.  Dale  Lick,  president  of  the  University  of  Maine,  would 
become  the  new  president  of  Florida  State  University. 

So  as  the  academic  year  progressed  we  found  that  accepting 
change  was  easier  said  than  done.  The  reality  of  the  year's  events 
began  to  set  in  and  hit  home  for  so  many  of  us.

Acceptance  of  these  changes  was  not  easy-especially  when  we 
ilized  they  would  return  once  more  with  those  same  autumn

ide  change  at  Florida  State  University  easier  to  chalk  up.

When  I  arrived  on  campus  one  week  prior  to  the  fall  semester  I 
couldn't  wait  to  get  started  on  the  1 99 1  edition  of  the  REN- 
EGADE. I  was  forced  to  contain  that  excitement  days  later 
when  I  began  interviewing  applicants  for  positions  on  staff.  I  was  faced 
with  the  harsh  reality  of  inexperience  -not  only  on  my  own  behalf  but  on 
the  staffs  behalf  as  well.  Their  inexperience,  however,  was 
matched  only  by  their  enthusiasm  and  support  for  the  year- 
book program. 

It  was  that  enthusiasm  and  readiness  that  helped  us  get  by. 
The  "110  Percent  Club,"  as  we  called  it,  made  life  much 
easier.  Jen  and  Trish  salvaged  Greeks  and  kept  us  laughing 
even  when  things  seemed  hopeless.  Gail  became  the  all- 
purpose  staff  member  and  Zulma  succeeded  at  the  im- 
possible task  of  being  the  only  photographer.  Amy  tracked 
down  every  athlete  and  coach  on  campus  and  Robert  even 
let  me  drive  his  Volvo  through  a  cotton  field  in  Alabama.  I 
managed  to  put  my  two  cents  worth  somewhere  in  between. 
I  don't  know  what  ever  made  me  think  I  could  do  it  alone. 
Thanks  guys.  -  "r 

It  didn't  take  over  two  weeks  for  yearbook  to  become  my 
life.  My  staff  became  my  closest  friends  and  my  office  my 
home.  It  seemed  that  all  my  vacations  were  spent  at  year- 
book conventions  and  workshops.  My  old  friends  lost  all 
hope  when  I  failed  to  look  at  a  menu  without  commenting 
on  the  typeface. 

Deadlines  seemed  to  approach  us  more  than  they  passed 
us  by.  We  were  never  really  sure  whether  or  not  we'd  make 
it.  I  thank  God  for  hearing  our  deadline  cries  for  help  and 
pulling  us  through  an  eternity  of  quad-paks.  I  am  also 
thankful  for  my  roommate  Robin  for  understanding  that 
yearbook  deadlines  had  to  come  before  dirty  dishes  and 
taking  out  the  trash.  Thank  you  for  being  patient. 

The  biggest  lesson  we  learned  as  a  staff  though  was  not 
how  to  write  a  catchy  lead  (especially  not  how  to  write  a 
catchy  lead)  but  how  to  take  advantage  of  our  resources.  We 
would  not  have  survived  without  the  help  and  support  of  so 
many.  ::'-: -■•/■■■■:■:■"-.;.    '■.'  ■•--:'\  ■■"<::■  ,:.  ■-••.-  ■■:'-■"  :  ■-■.  '■[",■■ 

First  and  foremost  I'd  like  to  thank  our  adviser,  Rebecca 
Raybum,  and  her  husband  Jay  for  putting  up  with  early 
morning  phone  calls  and  late  night  crises.  Rebecca's  un- 
conditional- support  fo*"  the  yearbook  program  is  one  of  the 
sole  reasons  that  it  still  exists  today.    >  t  ;      -   ^      - 

Many  thanks  go  to  our  Taylor  representative  Marvin  J. 
Mayer  for  his  continued  contribution  since  the  first  REN- 
EGADE edition.  Appreciation  also  goes  to  Joann  Cruz  and 
her  secretary  Amy  for  tolerating  at  least  three  phone  calls  a 
day  from  my  assistant  editor,  to  Ryals  Lee  and  Sports 
Information  and  Marketing  for  endless  copies  of  media 
guides  and  top  notch  photography,  to  Dr.  Jerry  Gilmer  and 
to  my  friend  Ramiro  Inguanzo  and  the  Union  Board  for 
listening  to  our  complaints  in  time  of  need.  Much  gratitude 
also  goes  out  to  the  Student  Senate  and  the  entire  Student 
Government  Association  for  their  continued  support  as  well. 

And  finally  to  my  parents  for  providing  an  infinite 
amount  of  stress  relieving  phone  calls  to  what  seemed  like  a 
very  distraught  daughter.  I  love  you  both. 

When  the  last  week  of  classes  rolled  around  I  thought  this 
book  would  never  be  complete,  but  when  it  was  I  felt  a  sense 
of  accomplishment  attributed  to  every  person  who  had  a  hand  in  its 
production.  Through  our  extreme  dedication  and  hard  work,  we  chalked 
one  more  up  for  The  Florida  State  University.
