Preface 


The  time  spanning  1985  and 
1966  was  highlighted  with 
many  memorable  events.  This 
was  trae,  not  only  for  the  world  as 
a  whole,  but  also  for  our  own  Ht- 
tle  world  within  the  gates  of  BSC. 
We  saw  the  opening  of  a  multi* 
million  dollar  computer/math 
caiter,  as  well  as  plans  to  rebuild 
the  oldest  building  on  campus. 
Ramsey  Hall.  We  shared  the 
^dtement  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Berte 
as  they  celebrated  their  tenth  an- 
niversary with  the  college,  and 
felt  ^uiness  as  we  said  our  good- 
byes to  Dr.  Bailey,  an  institution 
in  hhnself . 

Every  year,  as  the  year  grinds 
on,  diese  experiences  change  oar 
lives.  Whether  these  events  effect 
us  positively  or  adversely  they  are 
experiences  which  make  each  of 
us  a  better  person  in  some  aspect 
of  our  being.  It  is  the  job  of  the 
yearbook  to  record  these  events, 
that  they  might  be  preserved. 

The  1986  Southern  Accent  is 
very  new  in  comparison  to  other 
yearbooks  from  Birmingham 
Southern  College.  We  have  set  out 
to  capture,  not  only  the  images, 
but  also  the  spirit  of  the  year.  The 
format  is  new,  different,  and 
dynamic.  It  utilizes  a  dominate 
idiotograph,  with  satellite  photo- 
graphs of  varioiis  sizes,  and  in- 
creased copy. 

College  is  a  time  of  exploration. 
It  is  a  time  in  our  lives  of  eye 
opening  experiences,  as  weU  as  a 
time  when  spontaneous  actions 
determine  the  course  of  our  fu- 
ture. We  have  tried  to  capture 
these  events.  We  hope  each  of 
you  will  enjoy  this  volume  of  the 
yearbook,  and  may  all  of  your 
fonidest  memories  be  rekindled  by 
the  pages  of  the  1986  Southern

h«!  year  wiis  1870.  T«n  men  put  their  money  to- 

gelher  to  hiiy  more  than  4.000  acres  of  land  near 
the  small  Alabama  town  of  Hlylon. 

It  was  a  momentous  occasion.  Within  a  few 
months,  engineers  had  set  the  crossing  of  the  South 
and  North  Alabama  Railroad  east  of  Elyton  and  sur- 
veyors were  marking  out  the  city  with  a  downtown 
area. 

The  city  of  Birmingham  was  officially  incorporat- 
ed on  December  18.  1971.  with  a  population  of  1.200. 

Then  the  iron  boom  began  in  Birmingham  in  1880 
when  two  coke  furnaces  went  into  operation.  In  the 
city's  first  twenty  years,  the  population  Increased  to 
26.000  and  was  given  the  nickname  "The  Magic 
City '■  in  recognition  of  its  rapid  growth. 

Steel  and  steel-related  industries  remained  the 
backbone  of  Birmingham's  economy  throughout  the 
city's  early  years.  By  1910.  its  population  had  risen  to 
120.000. 

Birmingham's  renaissance  into  a  thriving 
metropolis  of  930.000  people  is  due  to  a  combination 
of  factors:  its  location  in  the  geographic  center  of  the 
Southeast,  progressive  business  climate,  emphasis  on 
the  art.s.  and  unparalleled  re.sidential  areas. 

When   newcomers   ask   what's  so   special   about 
Birmingham,   there" are   plenty  of  "firsts."   "bests,", 
and    "onlys  "  to  mention. 

A  quick  look  down  Birmingham  (Ireen,  for 
example,  provides  a  view  of  the  .state's  talle.st  build- 
ing Soon  to  be  completed,  the  SoulhtrusI  Tower 
rises  34  floors  on  the  corner  of  20th  and  5th  Avenue 
North. 

just  a  few  blocks  away  on  19th  Street  stands  the 
.state's  largest  office  building.  The  corporate  head- 
quarters of  th»!  Alabama  Power  Company. 

To  the  ea.st  on  23rd  Street,  the  YMCA  Downtown 
r;enlt!r  offers  exercisers  a  facility  ranked  among  the 
lop  three  in  the  country. 

Nearby,  on  the  corner  of  4th  Avenue  and  22nd 
Street,  the  mcxlern  pre.ss«!S  (»f  7'he  Hirminghurn

Overall,  Birmingham  boasts  tht;  uirgcsi  iiiiniDiT  0 
engineers  among  Southeastern  cities.  They  work  at 
lop-ranked  firms  such  as  Southern  Research  Insti- 
tute, the  largest  non-profit  research  and  develop- 
ment lalxiratory  in  the  Southeast. 

Far  to  the  south  in  Hoover,  the  Riverchase 
Calleria  opened  recently  as  the  largest  enclosed 
shopping  mall  in  the  South,  with  the  longest  skylight 
in  the  Western  Hemisphere. 

But  Birmingham's  achievements  are  not  all  on  the 
business  side.  In  education,  medicine,  arts  and 
leisure  living,  the  Magic  City  offers  choices  second 
to  none  in  the  Southeast.

Gala  71/2  Honors  Ten 
Years  of  Service 


The  Berte  Bash 

By  Sharon  Lynch 

In  1976,  a  young  Neal  Berte  came  to 
Birmingham-Southern  College  while 
the  institution  was  going  through  trou- 
bled times.  This  year  he  celebrates  his 
tenth  anniversary  at  the  college.  "We 
have  seen  the  college  experience  a 
renewal,"  says  Berte  of  the  last  decade. 

His  anniversary  was  marked  by  a 
"Decade  of  Excellence"  celebration  in 
conjunction  with  the  annual  alumni 
weekend  April  19.  During  the  dinner  in 
Bill  Battle  Coliseum,  various  alumni 
and  community  leaders  gave  Berte  ac- 
colades not  only  for  his  work  at  the  col- 
lege, but  also  for  his  service  to  the  com- 
munity. The  program  also  included  a 
video  tribute  to  the  Berte's  produced  by 
the  Office  of  Public  Information  that 
documented  their  accomplishments. 

To  honor  the  Berte's  ten  years  of  ser- 
vice to  the  college,  a  one  million  dollar 
President's  Anniversary  Fund  has  been 
established  from  donations  and 
pledges.  The  fund  will  endow  the  Ann 
and  Neal  Berte  Honors  Scholarship 
and  support  other  programs  of 
institutional  renewal. 

Soon  after  the  celebration  Berte  said 
that  'Southern  (not  him,  he  emphasizes) 
has  accomplished  three  major  goals 
during  the  decade:  achieving  recogni- 


tion for  the  academic  program, 
strengthening  the  liberal  arts  mission, 
and  placing  the  institution  on  a  firm  fi- 
nancial footing. 

Looking  toward  the  next  decade,  he 
predicts  that  it  will  be  a  tough  one  for 
all  of  education.  For  this  reason,  one  of 
his  goals  is  for  BSC  to  do  all  it  can  to 
strengthen  the  liberal  arts  mission  in 
higher  education. 

Berte  has  2  goals  for  BSC  itself.  First, 
he  would  like  to  fulfill  all  the  school's 
capital  needs.  The  first  step  in  this 
process  is  the  construction  of  the  new 
Harbert  classroom  building  to  replace 
Ramsay  Hall.  Other  projects  include 
renovations  on  Andrews  and  North 
Dorms,  and  Phillips  Science. 

Second,  Berte  would  like  to  see  the 
school's  endowment  increase  to  35 
million  dollars  in  order  to  offer  more 
scholarships  in  time  of  cutbacks. 

Besides  honoring  the  Bertes,  the 
alumni  weekend  was  also  used  to  an- 
nounce major  monetary  grants.  The 
most  important  and  largest  of  these  was 
a  three-million  dollar  pledge  from  John 
M.  Harbert  III  toward  the  4.2  million 
needed  to  construct  the  new  classroom. 

The  weekend  was,  for  the  Bertes, 
one  of  looking  forward  as  well  as 
looking  back.  Dr.  Berte  says  that  he  and 
Mrs.  Berte  "enjoy  what  they're  doing 
here"  and  have  no  intentions  of  leav- 
ing. H

Penfield  Recaps 


First  Year 


Dean  Takes  Charge. 

By  Rodney  Ferguson 

As  the  school  year  draws  to  an  end, 
so  the  does  the  successful  charter 
year  of  Dean  Penfield's  term  at  South- 
ern as  Dean  of  the  College.  Warned  by 
former  Dean  Moomaw  that  the  job  had 
a  two  year  Initiation  period,  Dean 
Penfield  seems  to  have  taken  the  chal- 
lenge of  the  job  and  run  with  it.  He  has 
gone  through  the  year  learning  the  ins 
and  outs  of  his  new  positions  and 
transforming  from  a  faculty  member  to 
an  administrator.  A  lot  of  his  work  has 
taken  place  on  a  general  level  in  that 
he  has  spent  a  lot  of  time  getting  to 
know  students  and  faculty  and  how  to 
orient  his  job  towards  their  needs  and 
the  needs  of  the  College. 

Besides  learning  the  basics  of  the 
job,  he  has  been  involved  with  working 
toward  a  Ford  Foundation  Grant,  pro- 
motion of  the  Adult  Studies  program  by 
gaining  funds  for  new  faculty  positions 
in  that  program,  working  with  the 
nationally  recognized  nursing  program, 
and  working  on  programs  to  be  imple- 
mented with  the  use  of  Kellog 
Foundation  funds.  He  has  also  been 
very  successful  with  his  faculty  ap- 
pointments this  year,  especially  in  the 
Math,  English,  and  Humanities  divi- 
sions. 

Looking  forward  to  next  year.  Dean 
Penfield  hopes  to  further  his  work  with 
new  academic  programs  by  finding  the 


funding  for  these  programs  and  grants 
that  are  available  to  the  faculty  for 
projects. 

The  Dean  also  hopes  to  continue  to 
find  good  professors  for  'Southern. 

Another  big  goal  of  the  Dean's  is 
pushing  BSC  into  the  regional,  national 
and  internations  markets  by  promoting 
traditionally  strong,  liberal  arts  values 
and  programs  coupled  with  an  excel- 
lent faculty  and  students. 

With  a  year  under  his  belt,  Dean 
Penfield  seems  to  have  successfully 
made  the  transformation  to  the  kind  of 
dean  Birmingham-Southern  can  be 
proud  of.  [\]

Dr.  Bailey  Retires 


In  a  "Genius"  Class  by 
Himself. 

By  John  E.  Norris 

If  there  is  one  person  on  the  Hilltop 
who  may  truly  be  called  an  institution 
it  is  Professor  Paul  C.  Bailey.  Professor 
Bailey  has  taught  biology  at  'Southern 
for  the  past  eighteen  years,  seven  of 
which  he  spent  as  Dean  of  the  College. 
As  the  professor  of  general  biology 
for  the  past  several  years,  Dr.  Bailey 
has  become  almost  a  legend  among  bi- 
ology majors  and  non-majors  alike. 
Students  are  amused  by  his  country  ac- 
cent and  his  relaxed  classroom  slouch 
during  complex  lectures  he  delivers 
from  memory  in  a  tone  of  voice  which 
suggests  that  all  children  must  learn 
this  easy  stuff  right  after  the  ABC's;  stu- 
dents are  not  so  amused  with  his  fam- 
ous multiple-multiple  choice  finals, 
tests  which  cause  many  freshmen  to 
pitch  their  first  "all-nighter"  in  college. 
As  the  year  ends,  however.  Dr.  Bai- 
ley will  retire  and  then  return  in  the 
fall  as  Professor  Emeritus,  teaching  a 
non-major  biology  course  every  semes- 
ter for  at  least  the  next  few  semesters. 
Although  we  are  glad  that  he  will  at 
least  be  around  for  a  while,  it  is  with 
great  sadness  that  we  witness  the  end 
of  his  full-time  teaching  career. 

Dr.  Bailey's  first  interest  in  biology 
emerged  during  his  early  years  as  he 
grew  up  on  a  farm  in  Northern 
Alabama.  "Being  a  farm-boy,  I  think  it 
was  sort  of  natural  that  I  should  be  in- 
terested in  biology,"  he  says.  After  re- 
ceiving his  bachelor  of  science  in  biolo- 
gy from  Jacksonville  State  University, 
Dr.  Bailey  applied  and  was  accepted  to 
what  is  now  the  Emory  University 
Dental  School. 


Due  to  unusual  circumstances 
brought  on  by  World  War  II,  however, 
his  enrollment  was  delayed  for  one 
year.  During  that  year.  Dr.  Bailey 
discovered  his  love  for  teaching  as  a 
graduate  student  at  Vanderbilt.  Instead 
of  going  on  to  dental  school  as  he  had 
planned,  Dr.  Bailey  ended  up  earning 
both  his  master's  and  doctorate  in  bio- 
logy at  Vanderbilt.  Afterwards,  he 
taught  for  a  short  time  in  a  public 
school,  then  he  moved  on  to 
Montevallo,  where  he  taught  for  fifteen 
years  before  his  arrival  at  BSC. 

Although  Dr.  Bailey  has  displayed 
great  interest  and  talent  in  teaching,  he 
has  also  made  great  accomplishments 
in  another  area — genetic  research. 
Over  several  summers  at  genetics  labo- 
ratories. Dr.  Bailey  bred  a  strain  of 
while  mice  which  are  extremely  useful 
in  tumor  research.  Dr.  Bailey 
reminisces,  "I  started  off  with  a  single 
pair  of  white  mice  I  bought  in  a  pet 
store  in  Birmingham."  After  50  genera- 
tions of  inbreeding  "every  animal  in 
that  colony — and  it  never  failed — every 
one  developed  cancer  of  the  lymph 
nodes."  Now  called  PBA's  (Paul  Bailey 
Albinos),  these  "little  boogers"  are  used 
in  cancer  research  throughout  the 
world. 

Despite  these  lofty  accomplishments. 
Dr.  Bailey  remains  one  of  the  most 
personable  and  down-to-earth 
professors  at  the  college,  his  gentle 
country  mannerisms  parodied  affec- 
tionately at  student-sponsored  campus 
events.  His  students  and  colleagues 
alike  will  sorely  miss  his  daily  presence 
at  the  College,  but  they  will  be  glad  to 
see  him  return  for  a  few  days  each 
week.  In  the  meantime.  Dr.  Bailey  will 
be  content  to  tend  to  his  farm  in  his 
hometown  of  Baileyton.

Hello  Olin. Academic  c 


"Olinland" 

By  Phillip  Bohannon 

In  case  you've  missed  it,  the  Olin  Com- 
puter Science  and  Mathematics  Fa- 
cihty  is  the  large  thing  on  your  left  on 
the  way  to  the  dorms.  When  it  opened 
in  fall  of  this  year,  it  brought  the  use  of 
computers  to  the  attention  of  the  col- 
lege community  as  it  had  never  been 
before.  At  the  same  time,  the  computer 
power  easily  accessable  by  students  in- 
creased drastically. 

The  Olin  Building  was  paid  for  by  a 
grant  from  the  Olin  Foundation  of  New 
York,  an  organization  which  habitually 
funds  new  buildings  on  college 
campuses.  The  Olin  Foundation  is  very 
selective;  that  Birmingham-Southern 
was  chosen  as  both  an  honor  for  the 
college  and  a  testament  to  the  tenacity 
and  skill  with  which  President  Neal 
Berte  courted  the  selection  committee. 
On  the  exterior,  the  building's  archi- 
tecture blends  well  with  the  Yeilding 
Chapel,  the  Planetarium,  and  the  Rush 
Learning  Center.  Inside,  it  departs  from 
the  campus  norm  with  a  full  length 
skylight,  decorative  columns,  lots  of 
pastels — folks,  this  is  a  very  pretty 
building. 


This  text  is  just  a  caption  for  the 
picture;  you  can  see  what  it  looks  like, 
but  there's  more  to  it  than  that.  Will  the 
education  provided  by  the  college  be  as 
affected  as  the  society  around  us  by  the 
move  to  computers?  Besides  a  few 
hours  saved  typing  a  paper,  and  a  place 
to  model  Miami  Vice  style  clothes,  will 
this  building  and  its  resources  mean 
anything  to  the  average  student?  May- 
be. O.K.,  probably. 

The  computer  will  continue  to  ap- 
pear in  more  aspects  of  the  college 
curriculum,  until  all  but  the  most  deter- 
mined student  will  be  a  moderately 
skilled  user  of  the  computer's  services. 
But,  just  as  any  school  can  teach  one  to 
read,  the  local  technical  college  will 
happily  turn  you  into  a  consumer.  With 
a  nod  to  the  liberal  arts  credo,  perhaps 
the  'Southern  graduate  can  be  a  critical 
computer  user.  As  computers  are  re- 
sponsible for  more  and  more  of  the 
country's  information,  the  degree  to 
which  this  information  is  trusted  and 
the  uses  to  which  it  is  put  must  be 
watched  carefully,  and  watched  by 
people  who  understand  what's  going 
on.  Who  knows,  some  day  a  bad 
program  may  be  as  dangerous  as  a  bad 
idea. 

Anyway,  it  is  a  pretty  building.  [^

Phillips  Science 


Warts  and  All 

By  Southern  Accent  Staff 

Ever  wonder  where  those  people  who 
claimed  they  were  pre-med  go  to 
after  freshman  orientation?  They  really 
do  exist,  I  promise.  It  is  just  that  they 
are  hidden  in  the  twisted  corridors  of 
Phillips  Science. 

When  a  student  walks  on  the  campus 
of  Birmingham-Southern  College, 
eventually  he  must  make  a  choice  of 
major.  Those  that  choose  Biology, 
Chemistry,  Physics,  Pre-med,  or 
Nursing,  rarely  see  the  light  of  day  un- 
til they  are  marching  down  the  aisles  of 
Munger  to  Pomp  and  Circumstance. 

On  the  outset,  Phillips  Science  looks 
harmless.  It  is  designed  to  look  like 
most  of  the  other  academic  buildings, 
and  for  the  most  part,  it  does.  My 
problem  with  the  building  is  that  I  nev- 
er know  where  to  go  in.  One  would 
think  that  the  two  sets  of  stairs  leading 
up  from  the  quad  point  the  way  to  the 
main  entrance.  However,  every  time  I 
am  required  to  go  in  the  building  I  see 
people  filing  in  through  the  doors  on 
ground  level.  So  where  is  the  main  en- 
trance? I  don't  know. 

Perhaps  I  have  one  other  minor 
problem  that  only  needs  a  little  atten- 
tion. The  problem  is:  Where  are  the 
bathrooms!  There  I  said  it.  I  have  al- 
ways   been    troubled    as    to    why    the 


builders  insisted  on  putting  only  one 
set  of  bathrooms  in  that  building.  Even 
then,  they  put  them  on  different  floors. 
But  enough  about  the  problems  of  Phil- 
lips Science. 

The  good  of  the  building  is  found  in 
what  it  contains — excellent  depart- 
ments in  the  sciences  of  Chemistry, 
Physics,  Biology,  Nursing,  and  Pre-med 
in  general. 

Any  student  can  tell  that  the  majors 
are  hard  at  work  by  the  prominent 
smell  of  formaldehyde  that  permeates 
every  nook  and  cranny  of  the  building. 
Actually  the  departments  are  well  re- 
spected throughout  the  Southeast.  In 
fact,  the  Nursing  department  recently 
obtained  their  accreditation  which 
sends  them  on  their  way  up  the  ladder 
of  success  as  far  as  Nursing  depart- 
ments go. 

Pre-med  majors  are  also  in  the  top 
department  in  the  Southeast.  The 
percentage  of  pre-med  students  that  go 
on  to  graduate  schools  is  in  the  upper 

go's. 

Obviously,  this  speaks  well  of  our 
curriculum  and  especially  the  faculty 
of  Birmingham-Southern  College. 
Faculty  members  like  Dr.  Paul  Bailey, 
Dr.  Boardman,  and  Dr.  Millsap  keep 
our  students  alert  and  conscientious  of 
not  only  their  immediate  world,  but  of 
the  world  that  they  are  headed  for. 
Let's  hope  that  this  will  continue.  [v|

A  Moment  in  Munger 


A  Guidebook 

By  Colette  Barrett 

Following  the  sidewalk  to  "Munger"  I 
briefly  glanced  up  from  my  feet  and 
met  Dr.  Randall's  eye.  We  quickly 
looked  away,  thus  beginning  the  age- 
old  rite  of  approach.  Timing  was 
crucial.  As  we  crossed,  we  made  eye 
contact,  exchanged  greeting,  then 
looked  away. 

The  day  was  still,  and  the  heavy 
glass  door  to  Munger,  with  hollow 
voice,  announced  only  to  me. 

To  the  right  of  the  closed  auditorium 
the  blue  jester's  stare  misses  a  view 
offered  by  the  door's  window  by  only  a 


few  degrees.  If  the  jester  is  dark,  I  peer 
through  the  window.  The  desks 
outnumber  the  professors  in  Dr. 
Franke's  office.  I  believe  the  spare 
desk  is  for  storage.  I  felt  reassured  that 
Dr.  Franke  uses  our  standard  filing  sys- 
tem. 

A  flock  of  sorority  sisters  chattered 
past  me  as  I  ascended  the  stairs.  On  the 
landing  to  2nd  floor,  Lucy  Ricardo 
stopped  me  with  her  fixed  face.  I 
admired  the  exhibit  a  while  longer  and 
began  again.  A  tall,  thin  boy  bounded 
towards  me.  I  dodged  to  the  side.  As  he 
flew  by  I  saw  that  he  held  a  light-green 
slip.  He  was  racing  the  clock  to  the 
Cashier's  window.  I  decided  2nd  floor 
was  not  the  safest  place  to  be  on  Fri- 
day. I  puffed  up  to  3rd  floor. 

Several  students  lined  one  side  of 
the  wide  hall,  across  from  the  double 
door  writing  lab.  Faint  electronic  beeps 
grew  louder  as  one  student  walked  out 
looking  like  a  bloodless  hunch  back 
hiker  about  to  descend  Mount  Munger. 
He  reminded  me  that  my  own  paper 
was  due,  so  I  caught  up  to  my  wander- 
ing mind  and  carried  my  paper  down 
to  Dr.  Hoff's  office. 

I  waited  outside  for  her  visitor  to 
leave,  re-reading  the  information  on 
foreign  exchange  and  typists.  I  heard 
footsteps.  A  woman  was  buying  a  Coke 
from  one  of  the  machines.  I  wished  the 
Newspaper  had  come  out.  If  it  had,  I 
could  have  sat  on  the  stairs  and  ap- 
peared to  be  engrossed  in  an  article. 
The  woman  left  with  her  Coke  just  as 
Dr.  Hoff  and  her  visitor  left  the  office.  I 
handed  Dr.  Hoff  my  paper  as  they 
exited.  Then  I  pushed  out  the  heavy 
landing  door  leaving  my  own  echo 
behind.  FTl

Music  Matters 


Culture  At  BSC 

By  Megan  Wells 

At  the  farthest  corner  of  the  campus, 
between  the  old  gym  and  Ramsay, 
hes  a  mysterious  isolated,  L-shaped 
building,  called  by  its  inhabitants  as 
"Hill  Hall."  Freshmen  who  write  "mu- 
sic" in  the  blank  after  the  word  "ma- 
jor" on  their  forms  disappear  into  this 
building  for  four  years,  and  then  mirac- 
ulously emerge,  blinking  in  the  sun- 
light, with  their  bachelors  degree.  In 
those  four  years,  no  one  ever  sees 
them.  No  one  knows  who  they  are  or 
what  goes  on  in  this  building  that 
compels  them  to  spend  all  their  time 
there.  Is  it  the  Moonies? 

I  hate  to  be  the  one  to  strip  Hill  Hall 
of  its  mystery,  but  this  building  is  actu- 
ally a  very  pleasant  place,  full  of  quite 
personable,  if  not  main-stream  people, 
and  non-majors  are  actually  quite 
welcome  to  join  us  as  we  learn  about 
music  and  enjoy  making  and  listening 
to  it. 

Denizens  of  the  music  building  do  all 
sorts  of  things.  There  are  bands  to  join, 
2  choirs  to  sing  in,  small  ensembles  to 
play  in,  and  private  lessons.  Upstairs 
there  are  classrooms  and  studios  where 
a  bright  group  of  professors  teach  mu- 
sic history,  music  theory,  composition, 
and  private  lessons.  Classes  are  small 
.and  a  lot  of  fun — our  professors  often 
double  as  stand-up  comics.  One  little- 


30 — Academics 


known  resource  is  a  small  electronic 
music  studio  for  people  whose 
creativity  runs  in  a  musical  vein. 

Downstairs  there  are  labyrinthine 
corridors  lined  with  lockers  and  prac- 
tice rooms.  This  windowless  maze  is 
where  most  music  majors  spend  a  lot  of 
time,  which  is  why  no  one  ever  sees  us. 
At  8:00  a.m.  the  pianos  and  organs 
crank  up,  and  people  begin  singing  and 
playing  instruments.  The  noise  often  ri- 
vals the  Chevy  factory,  and  continues 
well  into  the  night.  As  recitals  and  ju- 
ries draw  near,  people  begin  to  mum- 
ble about  setting  up  cots  and  sleeping 
bags  in  the  lobby  to  save  walking  up 
the  hill  for  a  few  hours  of  sleep.  At 
these  times  of  mass  hysteria,  the  build- 
ing is  referred  to  as  "Hell  Hall,"  and 
people  get  pretty  wierd. 

But  the  recitals  are  good.  In  the 
spring  there  are  huge  numbers  of  ill- 
publicized  student  recitals,  which  are 
open  to  the  student  body.  At  these  re- 
citals, people  who  for  past  weeks  have 
wandered  in  a  practice  frenzy,  talking 
to  themselves  and  looking  as  if  they 
were  hit  with  a  hammer,  walk  on  stage 
transformed,  looking  and  sounding 
wonderful.  There  are  lots  of  faculty  re- 
citals and  concerts  given  by  outside 
performers  too.  These  are  free  and  list- 
ed on  a  board  in  the  lobby  of  the  build- 
ing. 

So  now  you  know  what  goes  on  in 
Hill.  Come  by — we  are  performers — 
we  love  to  draw  crowds.  FZI  ~

Hill  Hall— 31 


Senior  Art 
Exhibition 


Darwin  Gentry's  works  have  evolved 
from  a  concern  with  the  relationship 
between  modern  society  and  nature. 
He  displayed  a  small  body  of  mini- 
malistic  images  along  with  a  larger 
body  of  works  fashioned  after 
primative  American  Indian  art.  The 
primative  works  employ  the  use  of 
found  bones  and  other  materials  linked 
with  man's  effect  on  his  environment. 

Patpat  Woodward  exhibited  large  scale 
paintings  and  sculpture.  These  works 
were  intuitively  inspired  during  the 
painting  process,  allowing  images  to 
form  during  interaction  with  the  can- 
vas. 

Michael  Swann  displayed  a  series  of 
oil  paintings  and  several  drawings. 
These  works  portray  flat,  highly  emo- 
tional images  along  with  calm,  peaceful 
suburban  scenes.  A  minimal  amount  of 
human  presence  emphasize  the  rela- 
tionship between  man's  isolation  and 
his  seemingly  secure  environment. 

Everett  Allgood's  works  are  extremely 
influenced  by  the  fact  that  he  is  an  Art 
History  major.  His  exposure  in  the  past 
six  months  to  art  of  the  past  inspired 
him  to  produce  his  series  for 
exhibition.

Those  Wacky  Majors 
By  The  'Southern  Accent 

I'll  bet  you  didn't  know  that  the  phallic 
symbol  in  the  Fountain  Plaza  was  de- 
signed and  created  by  one  of  our  very 
own  Art  professors.  I'll  also  bet  you 
didn't  know  that  some  of  our  art  majors 
are  now  boasting  very  lucritive  careers 
as  commercial  artists  or  in  private 
sales.  Well  now  you  do  know.  In  fact 
many  of  our  art  majors  go 
unrecognized  for  most  of  their  stay 
here  at  'Southern.  They  must  spend 
countless  hours  working  on  projects 
which  leaves  little  time  for  social  activ- 
ities. Every  so  often,  one  of  them  will 
walk  up  to  you  and  ask  you  the  time  of 
day,  and  most  likely,  you  will  answer 
them.  However,  when  you  leave  them, 
you  will  no  doubt  be  asking  yourseJf, 
•'Who  the  hell  was  that?" 

So  goes  the  life  of  an  art  major  at 
Birmingham-Southern  College.  Those 
of  you  who  are  stuck  with  8:00  classes 
will  never  come  in  contact  with  an  art 
major  because  they  are  not  aware  that 
8:00  comes  more  than  once  a  day.  They 
close  themselves  up  in  the  art  building 
at  around  10:00  p.m.  and  emerge  at  4:00 
a.m.  in  order  to  grab  a  bite  to  eat  (din- 
ner, they  believe)  and  go  off  to  bed.  It's 
a  strange  life  but  someone  has  to  do  it. 
In  case  you  have  never  had  the 
chance  of  actually  meeting  one  of  these 
people,  I  will  make  an  attempt  to  de- 
scribe them.  They  look  a  lot  like 
regular  people  (amazing!).  The  only 
difference  between  them  and  others  is 
the  unusual  amount  of  paint,  putty, 
glue,  or  ink  on  their  clothes. 


They  think  and  act  much  as  we  do, 
but  they  tend  to  put  their  thoughts  into 
terms  of  color  or  words  appealing  to 
the  senses.  Oh  yeah,  and  they  are  pret- 
ty fun  to  be  around  too. 

So  aside  from  the  paint,  they  are  nor- 
mal everyday  people,  although  some- 
times a  little  less  everyday  than  most.

The  End  of  an  Era 


Ramsay  Goes 

By  Stan  Glasscox 

Ramsay  Hall.  Many  of  us  have  spent 
most  of  our  college  years  in  that 
old,  yet  warm  building.  Home  of  four 
growing  divisions  of  the  college: 
Behavioral  and  Social  Science,  Econo- 
mics and  Business  Administration, 
Education,  and  the  Masters  in  Public 
and  Private  Administration  program, 
Ramsay  is  overused  and  underkept. 
The  floor  boards  creak,  the  ceiling  and 
walls  are  chipped,  and  I  bet  that  some 
of  the  paint  is  as  old  as  a  graduating 
senior.  So  the  winds  of  change,  they 
are  a  blowin'  and  Ramsay  stands  in  the 
path. 

"Tentative"  and  "Conceptual"  these 
were  the  words  used  by  Vice-President 
for  Academic  Affairs  Rob  Moxley  in 
describing  the  fate  at  the  current  Ram- 
say and  the  birth  of  a  new  Ramsay. 
The  first  and  foremost  step  in  replacing 
the  current  Ramsay  is  money.  Moxley 
estimates  that  a  new  Ramsay  would 
cost  around  $3.5  million  to  construct,  so 
the  Administration  must  first  find  a  do- 
nor and  then  finalize  a  floor  plan  and 
design  that  the  donor  can  support. 

Moxley  states  that  a  new  Ramsay 
will  be  of  the  Collegiate  Gothic  style 


that  is  typical  of  most  of  the  buildings 
on  the  Academic  Quad.  The  new  Ram- 
say would  also  be  constructed  of  red 
brick  and  limestone,  materials  common 
to  most  of  the  facilities  at  BBC.  The  Ad- 
ministration hopes  and  plans  that  the 
facade  and  columns  of  the  present 
Ramsay  would  be  saved  and  incorpo- 
rated into  a  new  building.  A  new  Ram- 
say would  also  retain  the  three  story 
layout  of  the  present  building,  but 
would  contain  enlarged  lecture  and 
class  rooms,  seminar  and  conference 
space,  faculty  offices,  and  computer 
lab.  This  larger  Ramsay  would,  by 
Moxley's  calculation,  be  about  45,000 
square  feet  in  size. 

So  with  proposed  removal  of  Ramsay 
Hall,  as  we  know  it,  comes  the  end  of 
an  era.  Though  the  plans  for  a  new 
Ramsay  are  "tentative"  our  memories 
and  rememberences  are  not.  Ramsay  is 
the  oldest  academic  building  on 
campus  and  its  heritage  is  rich.  We 
must  always,  especially  at  a  liberal  arts 
institution,  be  mindful  of  preserving 
history  and  heritage  if  at  all  possible. 
As  stated  before,  the  winds  of  change 
they  are  a  blowin',  let  us  hope  that  the 
Administration  has  its  sails  properly 
rigged  so  not  to  be  overcome  by  the 
winds.   Kl

By  'Southern  Accent 

A  soft  voice  flowed  from  the  loud- 
speaker overhead.  The  announce- 
ment came  in  three  different  lan- 
guages, "Ladies  and  Gentlemen,  please 
fasten  your  seatbelts."  Up  ahead, 
generic  "fasten  your  seatbelts."  and 
"no  smoking."  signs  flashed  so  they 
could  be  understood  by  all. 

Through  the  port-hole  like  windows, 
the  curved  world  slowly  passed  by.  All 
is  still.  The  engines  begin  their 
crescendoing  roar.  Forward  we  go. 
With  the  increasing  speed,  the  engines 
grow  louder  and  louder  and  suddenly 
drop  to  a  dull  numbing  humm.  The  cart 
rolls  by.  We  order  Scotch  and  a 
Screwdriver  respectively,  and  begin  to 
flip  through  the  literature  stashed  be- 
hind the  air-sickness  bags.  We  locate 
the  budget  lodging  areas  (no  frills)  and 
shudder  to  discover  that  they 
correspond  to  our  itinerary. 

"Ladies  and  Gentlemen,  we  are  now 

approaching  the  International 

airport.  Please  return  your  trays  and 
seats  to  the  upright  position  and 
extinguish  all  smoking  materials."  We 
comply,  and  we  arrive!! 

So  begins  a  'Southern  Interim 
abroad.  There  were  three  major  trips 
during  Interim  '86:  England,  Italy  and 
France,  and  the  Soviet  Union. 

On  the  England  trip,  'Southern  stu- 
dents toured  several  castles  "How 
many  bricks  were  used?"  was  the  ques- 
tion most  asked  in  this  country. 


Students  met  the  pope  and  visited 
the  Eiffel  Tower  in  Italy  and  France.  "I 
learned  that  both  countries  have  many 
good,  cheap  wines,"  began  the  opening 
paragraph  of  an  A+  paper. 

In  the  Soviet  Union,  'Southern  stu- 
dents met  Lenin.  "He  looked  very 
relaxed,"  recalled  one  student  who  sur- 
vived the  trip. 

So  while  most  students  stayed  at 
'Southern  to  study  textbooks,  a  handful 
spent  their  Interim  in  places  they  had 
studied  in  their  textbooks.  Fs]

There  Ain't  No  Cure. 


The  Finals  Grind 


By  Tina  Lilly 

ct  I,  scene  I 
iTime:  1:30  a.m. 

TINA:  OK,  Rose,  Star  Search  is  over. 
We  can  either  watch  Excelcior's  Food 
Report,  the  Country  Boy  Eddie  Show, 
or  study  for  the  Theatre  History  exam. 
ROSE:  If  we  go  ahead  and  start,  we 
can  study  until  about  5  or  6,  then  sleep 
until  noon. 

TINA:  But  the  exam  is  at  9:00. 
ROSE:  Well  ain't  life  grand!  I  thought  I 
could  sleep  tonight,  but  after  three 
days,  I've  probably  forgotten  how. 
TINA:  Before  you  leave  us.  Sleeping 
Beauty,  give  me  the  question  for  the 
exam,  and  I'll  work  on  the  answer 
while  you  sleep. 

ROSE:  I  didn't  write  it  down.  I  was 
filling  out  questionnaires  from  T. 
Reese. 

TINA:  I  was  trying  to  write  left  handed 
that  day,  and  I  can't  read  what  I  wrote. 


ROSE:  McCarroll  wrote  it  down — she 
always  writes  that  stuff  down. 
TINA:  Well,  we'd  better  get  there  be- 
fore she  goes  to  sleep  then. 
McCarroll's  Room— 2:00  a.m. 
TINA:  Jana,  we  don't  have  the  ques- 
tion. Did  you  write  it  down? 
JANA:  I  thought  he  said  we  had  to  list 
5  facts  about  the  6  theatre  movements. 
McCARROLL:  No,  I'm  sure  he  said  6 
facts  about  the  5  theatre  movements. 
TINA:  Would  Theatre  of  the  Absurd 
and   Theatre   of  Cruelty   be   listed   as 
one? 

ROSE;  That's  enough  studying,  let's  go 
to  the  Kettle. 
Act  II,  The  Kettle  (3:00a.m.) 

TINA:   OK,    I'm   tired   of  Theatre 
History.  Let's  do  math  ...  if  we  stay 
here   undl   9:00   a.m.,   then   go   to   the 
Southside  Festival,  get  to  the  exam  two 
hours  late  with  a  sunburn,  what  is  the 
probability  that  Dr.  Berg  will  give  us  a 
make-up  exam  if  we  cry  and  say  the 
alarm  clock  fell  into  the  weed  eater? 
ROSE:    Here's   another    problem:    if   I 
have  a  92  average,  can  I  still  pass  the 
class  if  I  make  a  2  on  the  exam? 
TINA:  Waitress!  More  coffee  please! 
BARRY:  Did  you  hear  about  the  new 
cola   called   JOLT  that   has   twice   the 
caffiene  of  regular  cola? 
ROSE:  Don't  say  that.   I  feel  queasy. 
Twelve   cups   of   Kettle   coffee   and   a 
pack  of  Benson  &  Hedges  don't  mix. 
BARRY:  I'm  starting  to  really  feel  sick, 
too. 

TINA:  You  two  look  green.  I  think  it's 
time  to  go  home.  We've  done  enough 
studying  anyway.  Kl

BSC's  Outstanding 


Bravo! 


By  Melissa  Self 


*  *Two  roads  diverged  in  a  wood 
I  and  I — I  took  the  one  less  trav- 
eled by  and  that  has  made  all  the 
difference." — Robert  Frost 

There  are  many  different  roads  by 
which  BSC  students,  faculty,  and  staff 
have  traveled.  Ironically,  Honors  and 
Awards  Days  signified  the  road  most 
traveled  by,  as  many  in  our  community 
were  honored  for  their  excellence. 
Honors  Day,  a  convocation  to  recognize 
the  achievements  of  seniors  and  to  a- 
ward  scholarships  and  honors  to  un- 
derclassmen, and  Awards  Day,  a  time 
to  recognize  students,  faculty,  and  staff 
who  have  served  the  college  well,  were 
both  important  days  on  the  calendar. 

On  Honors  Day,  excellence  endured 
as  Dr.  Sheldon  Hackney,  President  of 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  ad- 
dressed the  graduating  seniors,  faculty, 


and  guests.  Following  his  address,  the 
new  members  of  such  honoraries  and 
honor  societies  as  Mortar  Board,  Phi 
Eta  Sigma,  Kappa  Mu  Epsilon,  and  oth- 
ers were  recognized.  Also  important  to 
this  year's  Honors  Day  was  the  new  ad- 
dition of  the  United  Methodist  "Bicen- 
tennial Scholars  Award.  After  many 
other  honors  were  bestowed,  the  Sen- 
ior Awards  occupied  the  remainder  of 
the  program.  Along  with  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  scholars,  and  acknowledge- 
ments of  graduate  school  admissions 
was  the  recognition  of  three  seniors, 
Terrell  Barr  Linton,  John  Kevin  Tucker, 
and  Julie  Anne  Pieroni,  who 
maintained  a  4.0  grade  point  average. 
Next,  Omicron  Delta  Kappa  awarded 
its  Excellence  in  Teaching  Award  to 
Dr.  Catherine  Hoff. 

place.  Three  principle  groups  honored 
were  Who's  Who  Among  American 
Colleges  and  Universities,  SGA,  and 
Student  Judiciary.  To  honor  outstand- 
ing faculty  advisors,  Dr.  Tom  Moore 
and  Dr.  Diane  Brown  were  given  the 
Henry  C.  Randall  Award.  Other  groups 
such  as  the  Triangle  Club,  PSSO, 
Music/Youth  Ambassadors,  and 
Intramurals  were  recognized.  Service 
organizations  were  spotlighted  as  well. 
The  road  less  traveled  by  represents 
not  the  academic  achievements  of  a 
few  people,  but  instead  represents  an 
attitude  that  will  not  settle  for 
mediocrity.  Kl

Some  Thoughts  On . . . 


. .  .Graduation 


The  "Outside' 


By  Gregory  Evans 


Interesting  speculation:  what  shall  we 
discover  that  we  have  left  behind? 
After  the  records  are  inked  and  blotted, 
the  caps  and  gowns  pressed  for 
ceremonial  garb,  the  last  photographs 
snapped  on  the  grounds  before  march- 
ing proudly  toward  that  recognition  of 
a  long  time  spent  striving  diligently, 
sometimes  laboriously,  for  elusive  im- 
ages of  the  future  and  for  abstract 
ideals  that  only  in  utter  timidity  do 
translate  into  everyday  life:  what 
thoughts  of  this  place,  of  these  years, 
will  press  themselves  upon  our  heads 
so  adorned  with  mortar  board  and  tas- 
sel? 

Perhaps  something  especially  serene 
...  a  walk  on  a  late  autumn  afternoon, 
when  the  setting  sun  casts  its  protract- 
ing umbra  across  the  freshly  cut  grass 
that  carpets  the  academic  quadrangle. 
One  columned  facade  being  left  to 
relinquish  its  face  to  the  darkness  of 
the  evening — symmetrically  opposed 
across  the  lawn  another  columned  fa- 
cade still  burning  in  orange  glow  of  the 
sinking  western  light. 

Likely,  however,  is  an  interruption  of 
this  foregoing  idyl  by  the  dull  sensa- 
tion, still  lingering  after  these  years,  of 
the  cold,  grey  land  in  disrepair  outside 
the  college  gate.  Countless  times  has 
one  driven  past  the  old,  broken  cabins 
wherein  dwell  the  lined  faces  of  those 
whose  few  last  years  remain  little  af- 
fected (down  deep)  by  the  social  grand- 


children waged  in  this  city  a  little  over 
twenty  years  ago. 

Countless  times  has  one,  speeding 
nervously  to  arrive  for  an  appointment 
at  school,  driven  past  the  barefoot  chil- 
dren, the  vandals,  the  old  men  who 
wander  aimlessly  down  the  sidewalks, 
their  minds  withering  with  isolation 
and  drink,  their  eyes  searching  wearily 
for  morsels  of  sustenance.  What  strik- 
ing contrast  lies  before  us— contrast 
between  the  grey  pavement  of  their 
world  and  the  green  grounds  of  ours. 

A  steady  stream  of  students,  their 
books  under  arm  and  over  shoulder 
flows  from  the  dormitories  in  the  early 
morning.  One  remembers  their  swift 
gaits — and  one's  own  swift  gait — as  all 
step  anxiously  toward  the  cafeteria  for 
a  short  breakfast  class.  The  dew  is  still 
out,  and  the  air  expands  with 
invigorating  freshness,  reviving  one's 
senses  after  a  night's  sleep. 

This  is  the  memory  that  will  be  most 
in  our  minds  during  the  first  days  out 
of  school.  We  will  hurry  to  find  jobs; 
we  will  hurry  to  be  at  work  by  eight; 
we  will  hurry  to  obtain  the  proper  fa- 
vors of  our  superiors.  It  will  be  realized 
that  the  brisk  walks  to  early  morning 
class  were  good  preparation  for  this 
highly  energized  world  of  careers  that 
awaits. 

But  we  must  never  forget  those  peo- 
ple outside  the  gate.  We  must 
somehow,  after  getting  the  foot  in  the 
door  of  business,  of  professions,  and  of 
higher  levels  of  academe,  come  back  to 
them — to  give  something  of  ourselves. 
We   have    been    bountifully   bestowed

with  talents  and  knowledge;  however, 
it  is  not  in  these  things  alone  that  wis- 
dom lies,  but  in  the  use  of  them  in  the 
ministration  of  Christian  charity. 

Never  should  we  remit  this  personal 
challenge  to  the  tirades  of  politicians 
making  appeals  for  the  growth  of  the 
civil  authorities  as  the  distributors  of 
doles.  It  remains  a  responsibility  to  be 
assumed  by  us  as  individuals. 

And  just  as  we  ought  to  face  the 
unpleasant  things  in  the  world,  we 
ought  to  cherish  the  beautiful  and 
pleasant.  Let  us  never  erase  from  our 
thoughts  the  glowing  columns  on  the 
green  grass  of  the  Hilltop  ...  or  the 
brilliant  sun  in  the  western  sky.  [s]

The  Facts  About  the  SGA 

Just  Parties  Or  Principles  Too? 


y 


By  Stan  Glasscox 

When  asked  to  write  an  article 
about  the  SGA,  I  found  myself  in 
an  unusual  position.  How  do  I  repre- 
sent an  organization  of  which  I  am  cur- 
rently a  member?  The  solution,  I 
found,  was  simple;  state  those  services 
and  duties  which  the  SGA  does  (or 
does  not)  perform  for  the  student  body. 
The  first  and  foremost  task  of  the 
SGA  is  the  allocation  of  the  Activity 
Fee.  The  operating  SGA  Budget  for  Fis- 
cal Year  85-86  was  $81,736,  and  from 
this  events  like  Homecoming,  Southern 
Comfort,  Quest  II  movies  and  enter- 
tainment festivals  were  funded.  Also 
student  publications  like  the  Quad,  The 
Hilltop  News,  and  the  Southern  Ac- 
cent were  financed  by  your  fee.  Thus, 
one  can  see  that  through  the  budget 
formating  process,  the  SGA  directly 
influences  the  social  and  cultural  life 
of  the  student  body.  The  SGA  has  done 
its  best  to  present  a  broad  selection  of 
entertainment  options  geared  to 
include  everyone,  thus  working  to  in- 
crease the  sense  of  community  that  is  a 


strong  and  vital  part  of  BSC. 

On  the  other  hand,  in  its  quest  to 
throw  "jammin'  parties  and  hit  mov- 
ies," the  SGA  has,  in  part,  neglected 
what  I  feel  is  its  other  dut>';  to  serve  as 
the  organized,  refined  and  focused 
voice  of  the  student  body  in  the  formu- 
lation of  College  goals  and  policies. 
This  year,  though,  there  were  signs  of 
life. 

A  group  of  legislators  and  one  officer 
(Marty  Mead,  Lisa  Narrell,  Tom 
Doggett,  Hal  Jones,  and  myself] 
decided  that  the  SGA  needed  to  grow 
up  and  do  more  than  throw  parties. 
This  initial  movement  climaxed  with  a 
meeting  of  the  persons  involved:  Dr. 
Berte,  Russ  Levenson,  Hal  Jones,  and 
myself.  The  initial  goal  was  to  establish 
a  permanent  student  post  upon  the  Col- 
lege Board  of  Directors  or  the  Vice- 
President's  Council.  When  this  was  re- 
jected,  the  establishment  of  the 
'Southern  Forum  was  suggested. 

Did  we  fall  short,  meet,  or  exceed 
our  goals  for  this  year?  Only  the  stu- 
dents can  decide.  [~|

The  Publication  Board: 


A  Year  of  Changes 


By  Gregory  Evans 

The  Student  Publications  Board  faced 
a  year  of  transition.  Members  vo- 
ted to  approve  a  new  publication  and 
a  major  reformation  of  staff  positions 
and  salaries. 

Southern  Academic  Review,  the  first 
addition  to  the  list  of  student  publica- 
tions in  45  years,  brings  an  outlet  for 
student  scholarly  works.  The  editors 
will  draw  upon  for  material  the  re- 
search papers  that  are  regularly  turned 
in  for  classes. 

In  its  initial  stage  of  development, 
the  founders  had  this  to  say:  "It  is  a 
shame  that  those  good  bits  of  scholar- 
ship are  given  an  excellent  grade  by 
the  professor,  stuck  in  an  old  file 
cabinet,  then  eventually  incinerated 
with  the  rest  of  the  bulk.  Southern  Aca- 
demic Review — SAR  for  short — is  here 
to  provide  a  vital  outlet  for  this  work. 

"It  is  the  belief  of  SAR  that  the 
journal  will  produce  among  students  at 
the  College  a  heightened  awareness, 
better  understanding,  and  greater  ap- 
preciation of — as  well  as  sparked 
enthusiasm  for — various  academic  dis- 


ciplines outside  their  own  and  for  scho- 
larship as  a  whole. 

"What  is  special  about  SAR  is  that  it 
is  a  student-run  enterprise:  written  by 
students,  published  by  students.  What 
could  show  better  our  own  diligence  in 
academics  and  pride  in  our  work?" 

Each  Spring  a  new,  full  issue  (close 
to  100  pages)  will  be  published.  Free 
subscriptions  are  extended  to  all  on 
campus. 

Staffs  for  the  existing  publications 
(The  Hilltop  News,  Quad,  and  South- 
ern Accent)  have  been  increased  to 
delegate  more  work  to  assistant  editors. 
Money  for  salaries  has  been  divided  to 
accomodate  the  new  staff  positions;  as 
a  whole,  the  money  allotted  to  editors 
has  decreased,  but  with  increases  in 
operating  budgets. 

The  Board  comprises  an  elected  stu- 
dent chairman,  the  Dean  of  Students, 
the  editors  of  all  student  publications. 
New  members  for  next  year  will 
include  facult>'  advisors  of  all  publica- 
tions. The  Board  has  its  own  by-laws, 
through  which  it  supervises  the 
operations  and  budgets  of  the  student- 
run  pubhcations.  ^\\

A  Better-Than-Ever 
Quad  for  1986 


Students  Applaud 

By  Tom  Doggett 

Quad,  Birmingham-Southern's  stu- 
dent journal  of  art  and  hterature, 
went  through  radical  changes  in  1985- 
86. 

First,  the  Quad  staff  moved  into  a 
new  office.  Quad  left  the  back  of  the 
Snavely  Student  Center  and  took  up 
residence  in  Hanson  Solarium.  The 
new  qurters  were  not  as  cramped,  but 
the  window  air  conditioner  had  to  re- 
main behind. 

Second,  Quad  got  a  new  faculty  ad- 
visor—Dr.  John  Tatter.  Dr.  Tatter  gave 
the  staff  advice  on  how  to  have  a 
successful  literary  magazine.  Since  he 
was  the  editor  of  his  college's  literary 
magazine,  he  knew  what  to  do  from  ex- 
perience. 

Another  change  for  Quad  was  the  in- 
crease in  the  amount  of  copies  printed. 
For  the  first  time  since  the  journal  be- 
gan in  1940,  there  were  enough  copies 
for  all  the  students,  faculty,  and  staff. 
Quad  was  the  only  student  publication 
on  campus  to  reach  the  entire  college 
community. 


The  staff  did  not  think  this  was  going 
to  be  possible  at  first.  It  was  hoped  that 
Quad  could  be  a  64-page  bound  journal 
with  1800  copies  printed.  There  was 
not  enough  money  to  do  this,  however. 
Either  the  amount  of  copies  printed  or 
the  number  of  pages  had  to  be  cut.  The 
decision  was  made  to  reduce  the  num- 
ber of  pages  to  32,  but  the  SGA  came  to 
the  rescue  and  appropriated  additional 
funds  increasing  Quad  to  48  pages. 

To  help  save  more  money,  the  staff 
did  the  layout  of  the  journal  and 
typeset  the  poems  and  short  stories  on 
the  computers  in  Olin.  This  lowered 
the  total  cost  of  printing  by  30  percent 
and  made  Quad  the  first  student  publi- 
cation to  have  all  its  material  typeset 
and  layed  out  by  its  staff. 

Students  and  faculty  applauded  the 
journal  when  it  arrived  in  their  post  of- 
fice boxes  in  May.  Many  said  it  was 
the  best  Quad  they  had  ever  received. 
With  works  by  Linda  Mason,  who  won 
the  outstanding  artistic  award  for  her 
drawing  of  a  bird  collage,  and  Tony 
Daniel's  short  story  about  a  boy's  rela- 
tionship with  his  father,  which  was 
chosen  the  outstanding  literary  piece, 
they  were  right!  FH 


"What  do  you  think  of  this 
one?"  asks  Art  Editor  Suzy 
Hornung  as  the  deadiine  draws 
near. 


AssisfunI  Editor  Tom  Doggett 
and  Lisa  Kiein  discuss  the  possi- 
bility of  having  a  photograph 
instead  of  a  drawing  on  the  cov- 
er of  Quad.

HILLTOP  NEWS 

Your  View  of  the  Hilltop. 


By  John  DeWitt 

You  spilled  supper  on  it  Thursday 
night.  You  walked  on  it  trekking  up 
Munger  Mountain.  You  doodled  on  it 
in  class.  You  threw  it  in  the  trashcan. 
Maybe,  just  maybe,  you  read  it. 

If  you  did  any  (or  all)  of  the  above, 
then  you  had  something  to  do  with  the 
Hilltop  News  this  year.  It  was  your 
newspaper,  your  student  activity  fee 
paid  for  it.  Hopefully  you  got  your 
money's  worth — by  reading  it. 

This  year's  Hilltop  News  purported 
to  be  a  showcase  for  the  college,  but 
not  the  kind  of  showcase  you  get  by 
reading  admissions  intelligent  display 
of  all  that  is  flawed  or  fabulous  (or 
fallen  in  between]  at  BSC.  HiJJtop 
News  was  your  weekly  review  of  all 
that  makes  life  on  the  hilltop  a  rich, 
multi-colored  (and  occasionally  soiled) 
tapestry  of  collegiate  experience. 

We  showed  you  people:  the 
professors,  who  were  profiled 
throughout  the  year;  the  athletes, 
driving  for  victory  in  intramural  and 
intercollegiate  competition;  the  leaders. 


both  students  and  administrators,  the 
decision-makers  for  the  college  com- 
munity; and  ourselves  (you  might  guess 
what  part  of  ourselves! — just  kidding) 
through  our  challenging  articles  and 
editorials. 

We  showed  you  parties  and  perfor- 
mances: SGA  beer  and  band  bashes; 
dance  and  choir  and  theater  and  art 
shows,  etc. 

We  also  showed  you  problems:  the 
sometimes  tough  and  unfair  situations 
of  the  BSC  faculty';  understaffing  of 
library  and  language  departments;  dirty 
carpet  in  Andrews;  student  litter  and 
vandalism;  the  shortage  of  parking; 
campus  racism. 

And  the  list  goes  on. 

Ultimately,  what  we  all  strove  to 
present  was  truthfulness  to  entertain 
you,  inform  you,  amuse  you,  and  some- 
times shock  you — but  always,  make  you 
think. 

If  you  did  that,  if  you  thought  about 
the  community  around  you  a  little 
more,  then  you  did  what  a  liberal  arts 
student  should  do.  |~~]

A  Dream  is  Remembered 


BSU  Becomes  More 
Active 

By  Jackie  Ray  and  Sammy 
Speigner 

The  Black  Student  Union  (BSU]  seeks 
to  increase  Black  responsibility  and 
awareness  of  obligations  to  the  college 
community.  It  seeks  to  promote  cultural 
awareness,  unity  among  Blacks,  in- 
creased participation  by  Blacks  in 
overall  campus  activities,  and  to  edu- 
cate the  college  community  on  the 
importance  and  significance  of  Black 
history  in  the  U.S. 

The  academic  school  year  85-86 
proved  to  be  a  promising  year  for  BSU. 
There  were  many  social  and  education- 
al activities  planned  in  which  the 
whole  campus  was  asked  to  participate 
in  such  as  the  Apartheid  forum  featur- 
ing Helvi  Nghitewa,  a  reception  for  the 
award  winning  novelist  Ishmael  Reed 
who  attended  the  Writers'  Conference, 
a  Hilltop  celebration  for  the  remem- 
brance of  Dr.  Martin  Luther  King,  Jr., 
the  assistance  on  the  campaign  of  Mr. 
Lee  Loder,  and  a  reception  was  held 
for  the  talented  Jazz  musician/com- 
poser David  N.  Baker. 

Social  activities  included  a  progres- 


sive supper  at  the  homes  of  Dr.  Neal  R. 
Berte,  and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Loder,  Lisa 
and  Gary  Heath,  and  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Jackson;  a  popcorn-movie  party;  a  pool 
party;  and  several  chapel  services  on 
Saturdays. 

BSU  has  also  been  active  in  several 
community  activities  such  as  the  Oak 
Knoll  Nursing  Home  and  the  Mens' 
Shelter  projects. 

Goals  for  the  coming  year  86-87 
include  acquiring  a  black  students'  re- 
presentative to  the  SGA,  establishing  a 
BSU  scholarship  for  an  incoming  fresh- 
man who  demonstrates  outstanding 
academic  ability  as  well  as  financial 
need,  and  acquiring  a  greater  selection 
of  black  literary  works  for  the  library. 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Berte  have  already  begun 
this  collection  with  the  donation  of  two 
books  in  honor  of  Black  History  month. 
Although  the  name  of  our  organiza- 
tion is  Black  Student  Union,  it  is  not 
exclusive  to  Black  students.  Rather,  it  is 
strongly  encouraged  that  all  students 
should  be  exposed  to  black  history  and 
the  educational  value  of  being  exposed 
to  a  different  culture.  The  rap  sessions, 
sessions  where  members  debate 
various  social  problems,  are  just  one 
example  of  black-white  cultural  fusion 
and  the  liberal  arts  education  being 
realized. 


The  Black  Student  Union  listens 
intently  as  Jackie  Ray  brings  up 
new  business  at  the  weekly 
meetings.

Hilltop  Singers 

The  Sounds  of  'Southern 


By  Adelia  Patrick 

From  Broadway  to  blues,  from  gospel 
to  Gershwin,  the  Hilltop  Singers 
lave  performed  it  all!  This  year's 
ihows  have  taken  this  multi-talented 
:rew  all  over  Alabama  and  into  neigh- 
joring  states  singing  and  dancing  for 
dl  kinds  of  crowds  from  high  school 
cids  to  church  garden  clubs.  This  group 
s  selected  by  audition  each  spring,  and 
ts  member's  majors  are  as  varied  as 
heir  personalities.  It  is  a  group  of  care- 
ully   selected,    talented,    hardworking, 


energetic  people  who  enjoy  performing 
enough  to  shoulder  the  extra  burden  of 
rehearsals  on  top  of  already  busy  study 
and  activity  schedules.  The  Hilltop 
Singers  do  up  to  five  shows  a  month 
around  Alabama,  and  in  January,  they 
accompany  the  Concert  Choir  on  its 
Interim  tour  performing  primarily  in 
high  schools  serving  as  performers  and 
recruiters.  The  show  presented  changes 
every  year,  though  some  favorite 
numbers  remain  constant. 

This  year's  show  included  excerpts 
from    "The   Sound   of   Music,"   a   50's 


Rock  Medley,  and  a  musical  salute  to 
George  M.  Cohan.  However,  the 
group's  favorite  number,  and  a  favorite 
of  audiences  everywhere,  was  a  med- 
ley of  gospel  tunes.  This  number  was 
choreographed  by  senior  group  mem- 
ber Scott  Ivey  and  included  sign  lan- 
guage, loud  hand  clapping  and  literal 
leaps  across  the  stage  (while  singing!) 
"Amazing  Grace",  "How  Great  Thou 
Art",  and  "His  Eye  Is  on  The  Sparrow" 
are  a  few  of  the  song  offerings  which 
not  only  "showed  off"  the  group  as  a 
whole,  but  also  allowed  some  members 
of  the  group  to  reveal  solo  talents.  It 
was  a  wonderful  year  and  the  memo- 
ries of  the  shows  will  always  be  special 
to  those  who  saw  them  and  those  who 
"sang"  them!  [^

By  Michael  Bay 

Mike  Merino  and  Rodney  Ferguson 
have  met  before,  this  is  no  news. 
However,  the  circumstances  under 
which  they  met  were  not  quite  conduc- 
ive to  the  forming  of  a  chummy 
friendship.  These  two  men  met  a  few 
years  back  in  two  sessions  of  a  high 
school  scholars'  bowl.  While  Merino  of 
Decatur  High  School  was  victorious  in 
the  first  battle,  his  team  lost  to  Fergu- 
son and  the  Grissom  High  School  Team 
in  the  state  championship.  This  year 


they  got  a  chance  for  a  rematch.  It  re- 
sulted in  the  humiliating  rout  of 
Merino's  Hilltop  News  team  by  Fergu- 
son and  his  SAE  team.  Ferguson  who 
was  assisted  by  Scott  McCary  and  Bob 
Shufflebarger  led  SAE  to  a  270  to  180 
victory.  The  other  members  of  the 
HTN  team  included  editor  John  DeWitt 
and  McWane  scholar  Kevin  Tucker.

Circle  K  Helps  Red  Cross 


Are  Your  Pmts  Down? 

By  Jayne  Cockburn 

Circle  K  is  a  service  club  at  BSC 
that  is  extremely  visible.  The 
members  sponsor  projects  for  the 
campus  and  community  at  large.  Circle 
K  is  probably  best  known  for  the  blood 
drive  which  it  presents  each  year.  The 
group  has  gained  its  notoriety  because 
it  holds  the  American  Red  Cross/Circle 
K  Blood  Drive  during  the  heat  of  Greek 
Week.  The  success  of  the  drive  comes 
from  the  extreme  competition  of  the 
sororities  and  fraternities.  Greek  Week 
points  are  awarded  for  the  largest 
percentage  of  donors  during  the  extent 
of  the  drive.  This  year,  over  200  pints 


were  obtained  helping  Circle  K 
produce  one  of  the  best  drives  yet. 

Not  to  be  overshadowed  by  the 
success  of  the  blood  drive,  the  other 
services  of  Circle  K  need  mention.  One 
major  activity  that  the  group 
undertakes  each  year  is  its  assembly  of 
Survival  Kits.  Each  semester  during  fi- 
nal exams  the  members  make,  sell,  and 
deliver  these  kits.  They  are  composed 
of  goodies  like  candy,  fruit,  and  crack- 
ers. It  is  a  pretty  good  way  for  friends 
to  wish  their  peers  good  luck  on  finals. 

Circle  K  is  affiliated  with  the  Down- 
town Kiwanis  Club,  a  group  of  promi- 
nent businessmen  in  Birmingham.  The 
club  provides  services  to  the  whole 
community,  not  just  the  college.  f\\ 


Lamea  Shaaban  and  ]ayne

bJood  .  .  .  for  charity  of  course."

Food  Festivities 

By  Gina  Fawal 

The  social  event  of  the  year  was  un- 
doubtedly the  Annual  International 
Food  Fair  held  last  March  on  the 
Hilltop. 

In  our  very  own  Stockham  Parlor 
was  a  wide  assortment  of  international 
delicacies  prepared  by  our  very  own 
foreign  students  at  Birmingham-South- 
ern College.  Each  student  involved 
made  his  or  her  favorite  dish  from 
"back  home"  which  made  for  a  very 
special  buffet  setting.  What  was  espe- 
cially nice  was  that  their  favorites  soon 
became  our  favorites. 

Some  students  made  salads  and  some 
made  main  dishes,  but  with  the  cooper- 
ation of  all  the  members  of  the 
International  Students  Organization,  all 
the  courses  were  covered. 

The  turnout  was  good.  Many  stu- 
dents came  to  enjoy  the  meal,  but  what 
was  most  surprising  was  that  even 
many  more  faculty  members  attended 
the  festivities.  Everyone  had  their  fill  of

good  food. 

Along  with  the  good  food  that  night, 
came  a  good  speaker.  After  dinner, 
'Southern's  Dr.  Drewry  gave  a  lecture 
and  showed  a  slide  show  on  his  most 
recent  interim  trip  to  Russia.  His 
lecture  was  not  only  interesting,  but  ap- 
propriate to  the  already  established 
atmosphere. 

The  Food  Fair  has  always  been  a  fa- 
vorite event  for  the  International  stu- 
dents. It  is  a  time  which  somehow 
makes  them  feel  close  to  home  and  a 
time  to  share  with  their  friends  a  little 
bit  about  their  country.

A  Guide  to  Giving 


Alpha  Phi  Omega 

By  Carol  New 

Alpha  Phi  Omega  is  a  national  ser- 
vice fraternity  dedicated  to  leader- 
ship, friendship  and  service.  A  Phi  O 
was  founded  by  a  group  of  Boy  Scouts 
at  LaFayette  College  who  wanted  to 
continue  to  serve  humankind  while  in 
college.  Although  membership  is  no 
longer  restricted  to  Boy  Scouts,  Alpha 
Phi  Omega  continues  the  Scout  tradi- 
tion of  service  today.  We  continue  to 
uphold  the  principles  exemplified  by 
our  founders  and  are  as  dedicated  to 
the  Scout  Oath  and  Law  as  they  were. 
Here  at  Birmingham-Southern  Col- 
lege, Nu  Xi  chapter  has  supported  the 
concerns  of  service  to  our  nation,  our 
community  and  our  campus  since  our 
founding  date  in  1977.  The  activities 
that  we  pursue  to  serve  those  around  us 
include  various  service  projects,  food 
and  clothes  drives,  involvement  in  Big , 
Brother/Big  Sisters  of  Birmingham,  vol- 
unteer hosting  at  the  Men's  Firehouse 
shelter  and  ushering  events  on  campus 
and  at  the  Jefferson  Civic  Center. 


Through  our  service  projects,  members 
have  had  opportunities  to  visit  the 
King's  Ranch  and  get  to  know  the  kids 
who  live  there,  help  Bread  and  Roses 
Women's  shelter,  help  paint  at  McCoy 
Church  and  usher  all  theatre  produc- 
tions on  campus.  Alpha  Phi  Omega's 
involvement  in  ushering  has  given  us 
the  opportunity  to  attend  such  events  as 
the  Alabama  Symphony  Orchestra  and 
Alabama  Ballet  performances,  UAB 
basketball  games,  concerts  such  as  John 
Cougar,  Amy  Grant,  and  Diana  Ross 
and  plays  like  42nd  Street  and 
CameJot. 

These  activities  along  with  the  many 
not  named  here,  are  important 
components  of  our  leadership  develop- 
ment program.  Through  experience 
and  involvement,  leaders  are  formed 
who  can  be  innovators  as  well  as  ser- 
vants to  humanity.  Working  together 
also  brings  members  closer  together 
making  friends  for  life.  Our  friendship 
circle  has  grown  by  an  impressive 
amount  this  year  and  we  hope  it  will 
continue  to  expand  as  we  reach  out  to 
involve  more  people  in  the  experience 
of  serving  others.  f\]

Going  Out  to  Serve 


'Southern  Volunteers 

By  Amy  Fisher 

Have  you  ever  felt  like  giving,  but  it 
wasn't  Christmas  or  someone's 
birthday?  Have  you  ever  wanted  to 
share,  but  everyone  around  you 
seemed  content?  Have  you  ever  felt 
that  the  best  was  to  worship  was  to 
serve?  'SVS  is  the  answer. 

'Southern  Volunteer  Services, 
founded  on  campus  this  year,  enables 
students  to  be  Christ-Uke  in  the  world 
and  to  give  out  of  their  abundance. 
Instead  of  talking  about  one's  faith,  one 
can  do  something  with  it.  'SVS  pro- 
vides places  to  share  your  faith,  or  your 
muscles,  or  your  intellect.  Giving  is  the 
key  and  the  door  is  our  very  own  back 
yard,  Birmingham's  inner  city. 

There  are  many  ways  your  talents 
can  be  used.  There  are  big  projects, 
such  as  painting  portions  of  McCoy 
United  Methodist  Church  in  the  fall  of 
1985,  and  there  are  individual 
contributions,  such  as  staying  at  the 
men's  shelter.  Each  project  has  a 
faculty  and  a  student  coordinator.  Oth- 


er projects  include  visiting  at  "Oak 
Knoll,"  "Riley  Community  Center" 
food  projects,  "Amnesty  International" 
(letter  writing,  "Big  Brother/Big  Sister" 
Committments,  "Women's  Shelter" 
hosting  or  hostessing,  "Alabama 
volunteers  in  Corrections"  tutoring, 
"Enghsh  as  a  Second  Language"  tutor- 
ing, and  "Unicef"  card  selling.  A  big 
event  in  the  spring  of  1986  was  the 
Intramural  All-Stars  vs.  The  Varsity  in 
a  basketball  game  in  Bill  Battle  Colise- 
um. Proceeds  from  the  fundraiser  went 
to  support  'SVS  projects  in  the  city.  The 
crowd  came  and  enjoyed  the  game  of 
their  time.  They  served;  therefore,  they 
worshipped  at  the  basketball  game. 
That  is  'SVS. 

'SVS  needs  you  to  get  involved. 
Share,  live,  love,  give,  and  work  to 
make  our  little  corner  of  the  world  a 
little  happier  and  safer  and  drier.  The 
fence  around  our  college  is  not  meant 
to  separate  us  from  the  world.  We  have 
a  gate,  which  we  must  pass  thru  to 
meet  the  real  world  with  its  needs  and 
pains  and  joys  and  sorrows.  We  must 
go  out  to  serve  and  them  come  in  to 
worship.   [\]

Concert  Choir  still  on  top 


By  Ellen  Woodward 

The  Concert  Choir  enjoyed  an  unusu- 
ally busy  season  this  year  with  one 
of  the  highlights  being  the  49th  annual 
Carol  Service  held  at  McCoy  United 
Methodist  Church.  Together  with  the 
Alumni  Choir  and  the  Southern 
Chorale,  the  Concert  Choir,  under  the 
direction  of  Dr.  Hugh  Thomas, 
officially  opened  the  Christmas  Season 
in  Birmingham  with  music  dating  from 
the  Middle  Ages  to  the  20th  Century, 
originating  in  countries  around  the 
globe.  Also  in  the  program  were  com- 


positions and  arrangements  by 
'Southern's  own  Dr.  Wilham  Baxter, 
Dr.  Hugh  Thomas,  and  Mrs.  Allen 
Orton  Gibbs. 

The  most  important  performance  of 
the  year  was  given  at  the  Regional 
Convention  of  the  American  Choral  Di- 
rector's Association  in  Nashville.  The 
choir  found  itself  following  the  Army 
Male  Chorus  whose  talented  voices 
have  entertained  millions  the  world 
over.  The  audience  loved  Dr.  Thomas' 
contrasting  choice  of  music  and  the 
choir  received  a  standing  ovation  and 
many  letters  in  the  ensuing  weeks.  [\]

The  Baptist  Orientation 

Vun  and  Fellowship  Active  With  BCM 


By  Chuck  Goodman 

Baptist  Campus  Ministries  (BCM)  is  a 
Christian  organization  dedicated  to 
serving  the  BSC  students.  Its  primary 
function  is  to  provide  spiritual  leader- 
ship to  students  through  its  worship 
services  and  outreach  programs. 

The  85-86  BCM  was  led  by  its  new 
coordinator,  Steve  Thompson,  head  of 
the  UAB  Baptist  Student  Union.  Steve's 
dedication  to  BCM  and  his  sensitivity 
to  people's  needs  led  the  organization 
to  a  successful  and  more  diverse  year. 
One  goal  that  was  accomplished  by  this 
year's  BCM  was  to  become  more  active 
on  campus.  BCM  organized  its  first 
intramural  basketball  team,  finishing 
with  a  5-5  record.  BCM  also  entered 
the  organizational  banner  contest  dur- 
ing Homecoming  week  claiming  1st 
place.  BCM  sponsored  a  very 
successful  square  dance,  and  sponsored 
study  breaks  in  dormitories  during 
exam  week.  Fruit  baskets  were  also 
prepared  and  delivered  to  students 
during  exam  week.  Bible  studies  and 
prayer  groups  were  organized  in  the 
dorms  to  allow  students  time  to  gather 
with  friends.   BCM   had   a   Welcome- 


Back-to-School  Party  in  the  Fall  to 
welcome  Freshmen  and  upperclassmen 
to  school.  Two  praise  services  were 
held,  in  which  students  had  a  chance  to 
share  their  talents  in  a  spiritual  man- 
ner. 

In  the  area  of  missions,  BCM  sends 
several  groups  each  year  to  serve  food 
and/or  spend  the  night  at  the 
Birmingham  Men's  Shelter.  This  is  a 
wonderful  opportunity  for  students  and 
faculty  to  serve  men  who  come  in  to 
have  dinner,  sleep,  and  eat  breakfast. 
Some  students  also  go  with  BCM 
groups  to  Oak  Knoll  Nursing  Home  to 
spend  time  with  some  of  its  residents. 
Mission  trips  are  also  organized 
through  BCM  every  Spring  Break  to  al- 
low students  to  witness  in  word  to  a 
community.  BCM  missionary  students 
went  to  such  states  as  New  Jersey, 
South  Carolina,  and  California  for  the 
summer  of  '86. 

BCM,  while  growing  in  membership 
and  involvement,  still  has  room  to  con- 
tinue growing.  The  Organization  in- 
volves much  more  than  a  weekly 
worship  service,  and  continues  to  strive 
to  balance  its  resources  between 
worshiping  and  ministering.  |\ 


BCM  members  share  their 
talents  during  their  weekly 
meetings.

The  Language  Society 

Phi  Sigma  Iota  has  banner  year 

By  Kevin  Tucker 


Phi  Sigma  Iota  is  an  honor  society 
whose  members  are  elected  from 
advanced  undergraduate  and  graduate 
students  of  foreign  languages  and  from 
faculty  members.  Founded  in  1922  at 
Allegheny  College,  Phi  Sigma  Iota  be- 
came a  national  society  when  a  chapter 
was  established  at  Pennsylvania  State 
University.  BSC's  Upsilon  chapter  be- 
came the  16th  affiliate  in  1931,  and  to- 
day there  are  more  than  140  chapters 
in  the  U.S.  Since  1984  Phi  Sigma  Iota 


has  been  an  international  honor  society 
with  chapters  in  Mexico  and  projected 
chapters  in  Canada  and  other  coun- 
tries. 

Originally  Phi  Sigma  Iota  honored 
scholarships  in  five  languages.  In  1978 
the  society  began  to  honor  achievement 
in  any  foreign  language  as  will  as  phi- 
lology, literature,  and  education. 

BSC's  chapter  was  inactive  for  many 
years  until  1981,  when  Dr.  Grace 
Marquez    took    the    initiative    to 


reactivate  the  chapter.  This  year,  under 
Dr.  Marquez  and  Suzy  Cheney  (Pres.), 
the  chapter  has  published  newsletters 
informing  members  of  job  opportuni- 
ties and  society  news. 

This  year's  members  are  president, 
Suzy  Cheney,  Vice-President,  Carolyn 
Robertson,  Sec,  Amy  Speake,  Publicist, 
Kevin  Tucker,  Kristin  Patterson,  Philip 
Smith,  Kris  Hull,  Wynn  Hayes,  Kathy

It  was  the  first  week  of  school.  Ner- 
vously I  walked  into  the  room.  People. 
People  were  everywhere.  People  who 
were  perfectly  dressed,  perfectly 
starched,  with  perfect  smiles  . . .  "Hi, 
yes,  thank  you."  A  coke  was  in  my 
hands,  a  security  blanket  of  sorts.  O.K., 
what  did  that  rush  brochure  say?  Be 


yourself.  Sure.  Be  confident  but  not 
cocky.  Firm  handshake.  Look  them  in 
the  eyes.  "My  major?  I  hope  to  go  to 
medical  school  .  .  .  my  hometown? 
B'ham  .  .  .  my  high  school?  John 
Carroll."  Whew,  that  was  easy  enough. 
"Another  coke?  Yes,  thank  you." 
Someone  said  this  group  won  the  aca- 


demic trophy  . . .  maybe  I'll  put  on  my 
glasses  . . .  "Hello,  yes,  medical  school, 
B'ham,  John  Carroll."  Really  nice  peo- 
ple. People  who  are  trying  to  make  me 
feel  comfortable,  reassure  me  about 
college.  People  who  care  each  other, 
who  work  together  and  enjoy  it.  WHO 
ARE  THESE  PEOPLE? 


Brothers.  Sisters.  Friends. 


Ask  any  freshman  going  through  rush 
why  he  or  she  is  planning  to  pledge  a 
fraternity  or  sorority  and  you'll  prob- 
ably get  one  of  a  hundred  reasons, 
from  "because  mommy  or  daddy  was  a 
member"  to  "I  heard  it  was  a  lot  of 
fun"  to  "being  a  member  will  look  good 
on  my  resume."  Ask  these  same  stu- 
dents in  their  Senior  year  what  the  best 
reason  is  for  pledging  a  fraternity  or  so- 
rority and  they'll  tell  you  without 
hesitation,  "because  of  the  people 
you'll  meet."  Your  brothers,  your 
sisters,  your  eventual  friends. 

Membership  in  a  Greek  organization 
can  be  an  excellent  compliment  to  a 
formal  education.  In  many  respects,  the 


life  experiences  one  can  gain  from 
participating  in  the  activities  of  a  group 
of  diverse  individuals  can  be  a  valu- 
able education  in  itself.  Fraternity'  and 
sorority  brothers  and  sisters  learn  to 
work  together,  to  cooperate,  to  share. 
Members  must  practice  patience,  car- 
ing and  understanding.  Some  members 
find  their  chapters  to  be  excellent 
training  grounds  for  perfecting  leader- 
ship skills.  Other  members  find  their 
brothers  and  sisters  to  be  available  re- 
sources for  tutoring  and  academic  ad- 
vice. Learning  to  communicate  with 
others  is  an  important  and  valuable  les- 
son facilitated  by  Greek  organizations. 
And,  needless  to  say,  social  skills  are 


honed  to  perfection.  As  with  all  broth- 
ers and  sisters,  now  and  then  there 
may  be  a  little  disagreement.  Even  so, 
through  each  disagreement  that  arises, 
the  opportunity  to  learn  a  valuable  les- 
son in  compromise  and  in  respect 
presents  itself.  These  are  healthy 
lessons  for  anyone  to  learn. 

Fraternity  and  sorority  members 
spend  a  lot  of  time  together  telling 
secrets,  laughing,  getting  rowdy  at 
parties  and  organizing  charitable 
events.  They  experience  a  lot.  Because 
of  all  these  experiences,  they  become 
the  most  important  part  of  Greek 
Life,  [s]

The  Season  for  Soccer 

^^^^KJ^^^^^H   A  Banner  Year 

By  The  BSC  Soccer  Team 

he  1985-86  soccer  season  was  filled 
I  with  ups  and  downs.  It  was  the  1st 
winning  season  in  the  school's  history, 
featuring  the  performances  of  the  dis- 
trict's leading  scorer  George  Harrell. 
and  the  1st  BSC  soccer  player  to  be- 
come an  Ail-American,  Tony 
Tropeano.  However,  it  was  also  a  sea- 
son in  which  the  team  played  with  spo- 
radic brilliance  and  at  times  seemed 
uncertain.  In  short,  it  was  the  type  of 
year  one  could  expect  from  a  program 
in  only  it's  third  year. 

With  the  arrival  of  Damen  White, 
Alan  Begley,  George  Harrel,  Craig 
Smith,  Richard  Pittman,  Peter  Kittrell, 
and  Tony  Tropeano  the  team  exper- 
ienced a  complete  face-lift.  The  result 
was  a  starting  line-up  including  4 
freshmen,  4  sophomores,  1  junior,  and 
2  seniors,  Troy  Byron  and  Scott  Bryant. 
In  other  words,  8  of  the  starting  11  had 
relatively  little  experience  playing  col- 
lege soccer,  a  situation  that  turned  out 


to  be  a  double-edged  sword  during  the 
year. 

The  season  opened  with  a  match 
against  perennial  powerhouse  UAH. 
Although  the  Panthers  lost  6-2,  they 
showed  signs  of  great  potential  and  left 
the  game  confident  of  their  abilities. 
The  next  5  games  demonstrated  just 
what  the  team  was  capable  of  doing,  as 
they  methodically  destroyed 
Huntingdon  |5-0),  Samford  |5-0|, 
Shorter  (9-0),  Bryan  |l-0]  and  Tennes- 
see Tech  (3-1),  thanks  largely  to  the 
outstanding  play  of  [im  Bridges  in  goal 
and  George  Harrell.  However  in  the 
next  game  at  AUM,  glimpses  of  the 
Panther's  inexperience  ijegan  to  show. 
Pla\'ing  under  extreme  field  conditions 
and  receiving  no  sympathy  from  offi- 
cials unfamiliar  with  'Southern's  phys- 
ical style  of  pla\',  the  Panthers  lost 
control  and  suffered  an  embarrasing 
defeat  b\-  the  score  of  1-3. 


But  the  iulvantage  oi  having  such  a 
young  team  is.  when  j^rovoked,  the\' 
can  lie  explosive.  When  AlIM  came  to 
Birmingham,  'Southern  annihilated  the 
\-isitors  5-1.  Even  though  the\'  lost  the 
next  game  to  Huntingdon  1-3,  the  Pan- 
thers enjoNcd  an  impressive  \'ictory 
()\'er  North  Georgia  (4-2)  in  O.T.  and  a 
win  over  Colombus  College  16-0).  At 
this  point,  it  appeared  that  the  team's 
inexperience  was  no  longer  a  factor. 

However,  after  returning  home  from 
Florida  suffering  two  losses,  BSC 
pla\ed  with  a  tremendous  amount  of 
c:onfidence  and  energx'.  First,  they  beat 
Samford  and  then  in  one  of  the  most 
exciting  matches  of  the  season  defeated 
cross-town  rivals  UAB  3-2. 

Afterwards,  Coach  Coldfarh  gave  the 
starting  line-up  a  rest,  allowing  the  sec- 
ond string  to  easih'  handle  Shorter  3-0. 
This  break  for  the  starters  proved  to  be 
much  more  valuable  than  ex[)ected. 

The  second  string  got  the  chance  to 
show  off  their  talents  and  gain  some 
irreplacable  experience.  In  a  torrential 
downpour,    the    Panthers    forced 


Sewanee,  the  most  prestigious  team  in 
the  area,  into  a  defeat  of  4-1  headed  by 
the  2nd  string  of  [)layers.  It  was  an 
impressive  victory  that  answered  many 
of  the  questions  concerning  the  team's 
occasional  uncertainty  on  the  field: 
when  everything  comes  together,  this 
team  could  be  the  best  in  the  area. 

In  the  season's  end  game  against 
DAB  at  Legion  Field,  the  Panther's  suf- 
fered a  nominal  loss  of  0-1.  However, 
the  end  of  the  season  made  the  soccer 
community  see  that  BSC  was  made  up 
of  a  little  inexperience  and  alot  of  tal- 
ent and  potential.    [~

Another  Great  Year 

Panthers  Rank  High  in  Nation 

The  1986  Birmingham-Southern  Base-  I  Homeruns  and  also  a  team  lee 
ball  team  finished  the  year  with  3^  I  batting  average.  These  statistic 


victories  against  20  losses.  The  33  victo- 
ries was  the  highest  win  season  since 
1983.  The  Panthers  who  were  the  de- 
fending 1985  District  Champions,  fell 
one  game  short  of  repeating  as  District 
Champions  in  1986. 

Highlights  of  the  year  included  victo- 
ries over  Division  I  schools  such  as 
UAB,  defeated  twice  by  'Southern. 
Also  included  in  the  win  column  were 
victories  over  Auburn,  Middle  Tennes- 
see and  national  powerhouse  Missis- 
sippi State— a  15-4  victory  in  the  sec- 
ond game  of  a  double  header  in 
Starkville,  Mississippi.  Nationally 
ranked  Division  II  Jacksonville  State 
fell  on  opening  day  of  1986,  12-4  to  the 
Panthers.  The  Panthers  also  handed 
conference  rival  Huntingdon  a  9-0 
pounding  late  in  the  year.  At  the  time 
Huntingdon  was  ranked  in  the  top  ten 
of  NAIA  schools.  The  Panthers 
managed  to  go  as  high  as  16th  in  the 
national  polls. 

However,  inconsistency  was  a 
problem  with  'Southern  all  year,  but 
the  1986  team  never  gave  up  in  any  sit- 
uation. Down  many  times  in  the  year, 
the  Panthers  seemed  to  always  mount  a 
comeback  no  matter  what. 

The  1986  Panthers  had  many  out- 
standing individual  performers  turned 
in.  Senior  second  baseman,  Marc 
Mullins  pounded  out  a  team  leading  13 


Pitcher  Rundy  Cose  und  catcher  'I'renl  Lowery 
slrike-oul  u  buller  in  a  win  over  Suginow  ValJey. 


Homeruns  and  also  a  team  leading  400 
batting  average.  These  statistics  earned 
him  the  District  27  Player  of  the  Year 
award  as  well  as  Second  Team  All- 
American.  At  Shorter  College  he 
smashed  5  homeruns  in  a  double-head- 
er. Along  with  Mullins,  Trent  Lowery 
earned  a  spot  on  the  Honorable 
Mention  Ail-American  squad  and  a 
more  impressive  spot  on  the  Academic 
Ail-American  team.  Trent,  'Southerns 
catcher,  had  a  tremendous  year  behind 
the  plate  and  with  the  bat  which 
earned  him  All  District  27  honors. 
Perhaps  the  most  underrated  ballplayer 
on  the  team  was  Van  Shumaker.  His 
two  year  credentials  are  outstanding.  A 
two  year  total  of  23  Homeruns  and  over 
80  runs  batted  in  and  a  batting  average 
of  over  350,  Van  was  the  most  steady 
performer  for  the  Panthers. 

Other  outstanding  performances 
were  turned  in  by  pitcher  Darren 
Burns,  9-1,  Marcos  Lopez,  6-3,  and 
righthander  Joe  Bend  who  bounced 
back  with  a  5-2  record.  Junior  reliever 
Randy  Cose  also  had  a  fine  year  on  the 
mount,  as  did  Keith  Raisanen,  John  Co- 
hen and  Jeff'Soles  in  the  outfield.  Bill 
Bradley  was  busy  leading  the  team  in 
stolen  bases.  Daren  Burns  and  Keith 
Raisamen  rounded  out  the  All-District 
team  for  the  Panthers  in  1986.  Senior 
captains  Rocky  Farmer  and  Jon  Massey 
were  quiet  leaders  for  the  Panthers  and 
Freshmen  Bill  Donnell,  Jon  George, 
and  Brian  Lance  contributed  greatly  to 
the  'Southern  team.  Freshman  catcher 
Bill  Fielitz  saw  action  this  year  behind

Panther  Mania 


'Vatch  Itr 

The  1985-1986  version  of  the  BSC 
Basketball  team  was  one  of  the  best 
that  this  school  has  seen  in  it's  entire 
history.  With  four  returning  starters 
from  a  24-6  team  and  two  transfers 
from  division  one  schools,  this  team 
was  sure  to  have  been  a  top  twenty 
team  in  the  NAIA.  This  turned  out  bet- 
ter than  expected  with  a  preseason 
sixth  place  ranking  for  the  PAN- 
THERS. 

The  Panthers  returning  starters  are 
John  London,  Jody  Jacobs,  Kevin  Elston 
and  Sam  Oates,  all  seniors.  These  sen- 
iors are  the  backbone  of  the  team  and 
they  put  their  experience  to  good  use 
for  this  28-4  season.  The  remaining 
players  were  Juniors  Darrell  Harris, 
Morris  Gurley,  Jim  Crego,  Ron  Neil 
and  Allen  Love,  Sophomores  Paul 
McCrary  and  Brody  Black,  and  Fresh- 
man Russell  Smith. 

The  Panthers  started  the  season  with 
wins  over  Lee  College  and  Belmont 
College  before  being  beaten  by 
William  Carey  in  Hattiesburg.  The 
Panthers  won  their  next  game  against 
Florida  Memorial  and  they  traveled  to 
Auburn  to  play  the  10th  ranked  Au- 
burn Tigers.  The  Panthers  were  at  a 
disadvantage  against  the  Tigers  but 


they  never  gave  up.  The  Tigers  lost  by 
a  61-51  margin.  This  game  brought  a 
new  confidence  to  the  Panthers  who 
put  together  14  straight  wins  including 
the  BSC/Coca  Cola  Invitational  Tour- 
nament and  the  Armstrong  Classic  ti- 
tles. Two  of  the  wins  were  against  Troy 
State  58-54  and  a  win  over  the  number 
one  ranked  Division  II  Team  Jackson- 
ville State.  Jax  State  had  a  36-game 
winning  streak  going  into  the  game. 
The  Panthers  trailed  throughout  most 
of  the  game  until  John  London  sank  a 
jump  shot  with  35  seconds  left  in  the 
game  :01  second  in  the  game  London 
sank  2  free  throws  to  win  the  game  for 
the  Panthers  64-62. 

The  END  of  the  14-game  winning 
streak  also  ended  another  streak.  The 
Panthers  played  host  to  District  27  rival 
Athens  State  in  what  was  to  be  a  very 
disappointing  night.  The  Panthers  led 
throughout  most  of  the  game,  leading 
44-41  with  less  than  5  minutes  remain- 
ing. After  this  the  Panthers  failed  to 
score  and  Athens  State  won  56-46  and 
broke  the  Panthers  home  game 
winning  streak  at  50  and  dropped  them 
from  fifth  to  eleventh  in  the  NAIA 
Polls.  This  loss  also  created  a  3  way  tie 
for  first  place  in  the  District.  The  Pan- 


thers would  not  lose  any  more  games 
until  the  National  Championship.  They 
averaged  their  loss  to  William  Carey  by 
winning  77-62  and  defeated 
Montevallo  and  Alabama-Huntsville 
on  the  road  leading  to  a  rematch  with 
Athens  State.  Athens  State  put  up  a 
good  show  in  the  game  but  Southern 
was  ready  and  they  were  55-49  on  the 
Athens  State  Home  Court.  Southern 
wrapped  up  the  district  title  by  defeat- 
ing Auburn-Montgomery  59-56.

returns  to  everyday  life.  The  Home-

day following  the  election  of  the 
Homecoming  Court  on  Monday  and 
Tuesday  in  the  3rd  week  in  February. 
On  Thursday  of  that  same  week,  Quest 
II  presented  the  critically  acclaimed 
movie  "Starman"  that  about  50  people 
came  to  see,  Thursday  also  brought  us 
Black  and  Gold  Day.  During  break, 
Russ  Levenson  presented  prizes  to 
those  students  wearing  black  and  gold 
and  announced  the  Homecoming 
Court.  The  Court  consisted  of  Cora

.evenson  attributed  the  ties  as  being 
le  result  of  the  great  voter  turnout  and 
iterest.  The  eagle  toss  competition  was 
ext,  receiving  at  best  lukewarm  re- 
ponse. 
That  evening  students  were  treated 
)  dinner  served  by  the  faculty  and 
aff.  Low  turnout  prompted  one  stu- 
lent  to  say,  "I  would  expect  more  in- 
erest  by  the  faculty  of  the  school 
Inhere  there  is  supposed  to  be  a  close 
elationship  between  faculty  and  stu- 
lents."  However,  the  professors  and 
raff  members  who  did  turn  out  for  the 
vent  were  greatly  "admired",  not  to 
lention  laughed  at. 


Once  in  a  Lifetime 

BSC  Homecoming  Is  Fun  for  All 


Possibly,  the  highlight  of  Homecom- 
ing week  came  that  night  at  the  AUM- 
BSC  basketball  game.  The  crowd  was 
fully  supportive  during  the  game,  in- 
spired by  the  close  score  and  goading 
of  the  AUM  support. 

During  break  on  Friday,  the  cafeteria 
treated  the  students  to  cotton  candy, 
snow  cones,  and  popcorn.  Coach  Joe 
Dean  introduced  the  cheerleaders  and 
basketball  team  following  the  awarding 
of  prizes  from  tickets  under  the  cafete- 
ria seats. 

That  evening  following  the  crowning 
of  Kym  Williams  as  Miss  BSC,  about 
one  hundred  people  attended  the  pep 
rally  and  bonfire  held  behind  Simpson 
Party  Barn.  Those  present  had  the  op- 
portunity to  view  four  senior  basketball 
players'  version  of  the  Panther  Shuffle 
and  hear  an  inspiring  speech  from 
Coach  Dean.  Afterwards,  the  acoustic 
duo  of  Hiensohn  and  Day  entertained 
the  group  with  their  folk  song  talent. 

At  the  game  on  Saturday  the  crowd 

EJise  Lawson  and  Maria  Hatzigeorgis  can  hardJy 
contain  their  excitement. 


got  a  chance  to  win  door  prizes  and  see 
the  crowning  of  1986  Homecoming 
Queen  Beth  Gulley.  The  game  was 
anti-climatic  compared  to  Thursday's 
game,  with  Faulkner  State  University 
trailing  by  at  least  20  points  for  most  of 
the  game.  Door  prizes  including 
dinners  given  by  Shamrock  and  Fifth 
Quarter  restaurant,  and  limousine  ser- 
vice for  the  evening  were  awarded 
during  half-time.  Awards  were  also 
presented  to  Baptist  Campus  Ministries 
and  the  third  floor  of  Margaret  Daniels 
dorm  for  their  Homecoming  banners. 
The  dance  capped  off  the  evening  with 
music  provided  by  Harlequin  (formerly 
Bad  Habits)  in  Simpson.  Many  people 
were  there  to  enjoy  the  dancing  and 
soft  drinks. 

The  week  ended  with  a  concert  choir 
performance  on  Sunday  to  a  full  house 
at  McCoy  Methodist  Church.  One  stu- 
dent said,  "The  best  event  of  the  whole 
week  was  the  concert.  I  felt  it  was  a 
once  in  a  lifetime  event."  K]

On  the  Rebound 

BSC  Does  the  National  Tournament. 


The  BSC  Panthers  carried  a  27-3 
record  and  a  3rd  seed  into  the 
NAIA  National  Championships.  This 
was  the  fifth  appearance  in  the  Tour- 
nament for  the  Panthers  and  the  sec- 
ond in  the  last  three  years.  The  Pan- 
thers started  the  Tournament  against 
Kearney  (Neb.)  State.  Kearney  State 
was  making  a  record-tying  ninth 
straight  appearance  in  the  Tournament. 
Kearney  was  in  a  rebuilding  year  but 
they  would  prove  a  tough  opponent  for 
the  Panthers.  The  Panthers  were 
shaking  at  the  beginning  of  the  game 
and  the  lead  change  where  Southern 
opened  a  36-29  advantage  just  before 
the  half,  but  Kearney  did  not  give  up 
and  tied  the  game  37-37  at  the  half. 
The  second  half  was  the  complete  op- 
posite of  the  first  when  Southern 
opened  a  50-39  lead.  Kearney  didn't 
threaten  the  Panthers  until  the  2:58 
mark  when  the  score  was  66-61.  But 
Southern  rose  to  the  occasion  and  won 
76-64.  This  put  the  Panthers  into  the  fi- 
nal round  where  they  had  been  only 
once  before,  and  that  was  in  1978. 


The  second  game  pitted  the  Panthers 
against  the  Central  Washington  Wild- 
cats who  were  26-5  and  seeded  14th  in 
the  tournament.  The  Wildcats  who 
have  been  in  more  National  Tourna- 
ments than  any  other  team  had  defeat- 
ed Findlay  of  Ohio  86-82  to  advance  to 
meet  the  Panthers.  After  the  Panthers 
fell  behind  the  Wildcats  in  the  first  five 
minutes  10-6,  the  Panthers  rallied  in 
the  next  51/2  minutes  to  a  22-11  lead 
and  they  held  the  lead  through  the 
half.  The  Wildcats  came  back  to  cut  the 
lead  31-27  at  the  half.  Poor  free  throw 
shooting  hurt  the  Panthers  in  the  sec- 
ond half  where  they  missed  their  first 
four  attempts  and  lost  the  lead  to  the 
Wildcats  40-39  with  10:59  left.  Southern 
lead  for  the  final  time  with  7:43  left  but 
the  Wildcats  answered  with  eight 
straight  points  to  go  up  54-48.  Southern 
lost  the  game  59-56  and  lost  their  bid 
for  the  National  Title.  Southern  ended 
the  season  with  a  28-4  record.  [\

mpeted  against  the  top  50  teams  from 
ross  the  nation.  The  Women  collect- 
nine  points  at  Nationals,  enough  to 
pture  14th  place.  The  young  Men's 


team,  their  first  trip  to  the  tournament 
in  four  years,  managed  4  points,  good 
enough  to  be  ranked  26. 

To  receive  an  invitation  from  the 
N.A.I. A.,  the  teams  had  to  prove  them- 
selves during  the  regular  season  of 
team  competition.  Both  schedules  were 
tough  this  year,  including  several  Top 
Ten  teams,  approximately  25  matches, 
and  various  small  tournaments  played 
locally  and  in  Georgia  and  Florida.  The 
Tennis  season  began  in  late  May — a 
rigorous  and  a  successful  four  months. 
The  Women's  team  continued  their 
winning  tradition,  finishing  the  year 
with  a  15-8  record;  the  men  broke  even 
at  13-13.  Among  the  top  colleges  and 
universities  that  BSC  played  were  Na- 
tional Champs  Flagler  (of  St.  Augus- 
tine) and  the  University  of  North 
Florida  (in  Jacksonville).  District  27 
competition  included  Auburn  Universi 
ty  in  Montgomery  (A.U.M.),  Hunting- 
ton College,  the  University  of  Ala- 
bama-Huntsville,  and  our  interstate  ri- 
vals from  the   University  of  West 


Florida. 

A  tennis  team  is  really  just  a  collection 
of  individuals,  each  responsible  for 
pulling  his  or  her  own  weight.  To  win  a 
meeting  between  two  schools,  BSC's 
players  must  combine  for  at  least  five  of 
nine  matches,  consisting  of  six  singles 
and  three  doubles.  The  Lady  Panthers 
were  lead  this  year  by  Team  Captain 
Emily  Duke,  and  education  major  nomi- 
nated for  Academic  All-American,  who 
graduates  this  year.  At  no.  2  was  another 
All-American  nominee,  Veteran  Erin 
Kuchn  who  will  be  back  next  year. 
Freshman  Kathi  Rogers  gave  'Southern 
strong  support  at  no.  3  in  only  her  first 
year.  Kathi  is  sure  to  play  some  more  ex- 
cellent tennis  in  her  years  ahead.  At  no. 
4  was  another  of  three  juniors,  Veteran 
Nancy  Griffith.  The  other  junior  being 
Heather  Comfort,  an  Academic  All- 
American  nominee  at  no.  5.  Freshman 
transfer  Bernadette  Peters  filled  the  gap 
at  the  sixth  position.  The  doubles  duo  of 
Comfort-Peters  amassed  an  incredible 
record  of  14-2  on  the  year;  possibly  the

best  in  the  district. 

It  was  a  young  Men's  team  this  year, 
with  five  of  the  eight  players  in  their 
initial  year,  with  all  returning  but  one. 
Victor  Martinez  held  the  top  spot  for 
'Southern  this  year;  an  emotional 
Mexican  {or  is  that  redundant),  Victor 
has  a  year  remaining  to  play.  Team  Cap- 
tain Christopher  Ellis,  one  of  only  two 
players  back  from  last  year's  team,  was 
having  an  excellent  season  that  was  end- 
ed prematurely  by  a  broken  ankle  the 
play  before  districts.  Ellis  should  be 
healthy  and  undoubtably  eager  come 
next  fall.  Paul  Rogers  of  Tuscaloosa 
gained  a  years  experience  at  the  no.  3 
position  at  numbers  4  &  6  were  two  more 
fre.shmen;  Danny  Mahiszak  of  B'ham, 
and  Floridian  Chris  Egan,  who  had  an 
outstanding  season.  Speaking  of  out- 
standing. Senior  |ohn  Watts  finished  up 
an  impressive  career  at  'Southern.  He 
was  an  "All-American  team."  His  lea- 
dership will  obviously  be  missed  next 
year. 

Despite  a  slovi?  start  the  Women's  team 
lost  only  four  matches  and  was  16  during 
the  heat  of  the  season.  Peaking  at  just 
the  right  time,  the  6  individual  District 
spots  and  the  District  Team  Title, 
automatically;  qualifying  for  the  National 
Tourney.  Duke,  Kuchn,  and  Rogers  were 


All-District  singles  performers,  each 
winning  at  their  respective  positions.  The 
rest  of  the  girls  contributed  also,  with 
several  reaching  the  finals  of  their 
bracket  and  everyone  winning  doubles. 
After  the  smoke  cleared,  'Southern  had 
stacked  up  9  points,  beating  out  West 
Florida  for  the  District  27  title. 

The  Men  entered  the  District  competi- 
tion with  a  broken  ankle,  Chris  Ellis  that 
is,  and  was  not  at  full  strength  for  the 
rest  of  the  year.  Despite  courageous  play 
from  all,  including  freshmen  reserves 
Patrick  Herren  and  Chris  Parker,  'South- 
ern was  only  able  to  produce  3  points, 
somewhat  short  of  Winner  A.U.M.  and 
runner-up  West  Florida.  The  season  did 
not  end  there  for  the  Men  though,  as 
they  received  an  invitation  from  the 
N.A.I.A.  to  play  at  the  Nationals  in  Kan- 
sas City,  due  to  their  tough  schedule  and 
Top  Twenty  standing  at  the  end  of  April. 

With  several  upperclassmen,  the 
'Southern  Women's  team  should  be  able 
to  come  up  with  a  repeat  performance 
next  year,  continuing  to  dominate  their 
district. 

A  strong  recruiting  year  backing  them 
up,  the  Men  can  only  improve,  looking 
to  better  their  not-so-shabby  ranking  of 
26  in  the  next  couple  of  years.  [\

Much  practice  is  put  in  for  one 
game.  Practice  makes  perfect. 


By  Cody  Jones  and  Elise  Lawson 


ach  year  the  fraternities  and 
t  sororities  at  Birmingham-Southern 
College  eagerly  await  the  start  of 
intramural  athletics.  The  prestigous 
All-Sports  Trophy  is  awarded  to  the 
fraternity  and  sorority  which  compile 
the  highest  point  total.  However,  the 
biggest  award  the  winners  receive  is 
"the  bragging  rights"  for  next  year. 
Point  totals  are  recorded  as  follows:  150 
points  for  first  place,  120  points  for  sec- 
ond, third  receives  90  points,  and  so  on. 
In  addition,  each  fraternity  and  sorority 
receives  50  points  for  participation. 
Never-the-less,  the  road  to  the  champi- 
onship is  a  long  and  difficult  one.  For 
the  fraternities,  the  road  can  be  divided 
into  five  sections;  football,  volleyball, 
basketball,  softball,  and  attendance  at 
intramural  meetings.  Failure  to  attend 
the  meetings  results  in  a  deduction  of 
points.  On  the  other  hand,  the  sororities 
do  battle  in  only  volleyball,  basketball, 
and  Softball.  The  overall  competition  is 
further  strengthened  by  a  number  of 
independent  and  faculty  teams. 

The  1985-86  intramural  season 
started  early  in  the  fall  with  fraternity

football.  Last  year's  champions  SAE 
were  favored  early  to  retain  their 
crown.  As  expected,  SAE  entered  the 
playoffs  undefeatable  having  beaten 
the  Indy's,  Theta  Chi's,  KA's,  and 
ATO's.  In  the  semifinals.  Kappa  Alpha 
kicked  Theta  Chi  16  to  8  while  SAE 
routed  the  Indy's  20  to  0.  For  SAE 
everything  seemed  to  be  going  accord- 
ing to  plan.  However,  KA  shocked  SAE 
in  the  championship  with  a  dramatic  8- 
0  victory.  Theta  Chi  took  third  place  by 
defeating  the  Indy's  30-6  in  the  conso- 
lation game. 

Following  football,  each  fraternity 
began  their  preparation  for  volleyball. 
KA,  was  the  early  favorite.  After  de- 
feating the  faculty,  KA  entered  the 
playoffs    with    a    perfect    record,    and

romped  the  ROMD's  to  grab  third 
place. 

In  February,  each  fraternity  sent  its 
best  five  to  the  basketball  court.  It  ap- 
peared early  that  each  team  had  equal 
share  of  talent.  In  the  playoffs,  KA 
went  against  SAE,  but  in  the  semi- 
finals, Steve  Jackson  (SAE)  sunk  a 
halfcourt  shot  at  the  buzzer  to  nip  KA 
43-41.  Theta  Chi  won  the  other 
semifinal  game  with  a  61-45  victory 
over  the  Wilders.  In  the  championship 
Theta  Chi  crushed  SAE  with  a  decisive 
55-47  win.  KA  rebounded  from  its

The  final  event  for  the  All  Sports 
Trophy  is  Softball.  In  the  finals  of  the 
competition,  the  Theta  Chi's  went 
against  the  SAE's  for  the  champion- 
ship. In  a  rousing  game,  the  Theta  Chi's 
edged  out  the  SAE's  3-0  for  the  win. 

In  sorority  competition,  Zeta  has 
clearly  dominated.  The  Zeta's 
domination  began  with  volleyball. 
After  victories  over  AOPi,  Pi  Phi,  AXO, 
and  KD,  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  cruised  into 
the  playoffs  with  a  perfect  6-0  record. 
The  Pi  Beta  Phi's  were  the  Zeta's  first 
playoff  victim.  In  the  championship, 
Zeta  demolished  the  Indy's.  The  AOPi's 
defeated  the  Pi  Beta  Phi's  in  the  conso- 
lation game  for  third  place.

Following  volleyball,  each  sorority 
set  its  sights  on  basketball.  Once  again 
the  ZTA's  were  clearly  unbeatable. 
However,  the  Indy's  proved  to  be  a 
force  to  be  reckoned  with.  Both  teams 
posted  a  4-0  record  at  one  time  during 
the  tournament.  Zeta  nipped  the  Indy's 
19-18  to  end  the  regular  season  action. 
After  defeating  AOPi,  the  Indy's  ad- 
vanced to  the  championship  for  a 
rematch  with  the  Zeta's.  Zeta  held  off  a 
tough  Indy  charge  to  capture  the  title 
with  a  dramatic  36-35  win.  The  victory 
was  particularly  sweet  because  of  the 
long  time  rivalry  between  the  two 
groups  of  volleyball  players.  AOPi 
bombed  KD  31-14  to  take  third  place. 

As  Softball  season  rolled  around,  the 
Zeta's  held  a  firm  lock  on  first  place  in

the  overall  standings.  However,  the 
Indy's  were  far  from  finished.  The 
Indy's  defeated  the  Zeta's  13-8  on  April 
28,  to  gain  first  place  in  the  Softball 
standings.  Zeta  dropped  to  3-1  for  a  tie 
with  AOPi  for  second  place.  In  the 
playoffs,  Indy  went  against  AXO 
winning  19  to  3,  and  ZTA  stomped 
AOPi  10  to  4.  So  once  again,  the  ZTA's 
were  against  the  Indy's.  However,  this 
time  proved  to  be  victorious  for  the 
Indy's  who  reigned  with  a  15-10  victory 
taking  the  title.  AOPi  defeated  AXO  16- 
0  taking  third  place. 

In  the  ever  coveted  All-Sports  Hon- 
ors, ZTA  emerged  the  winner  with 
Theta  Chi  taking  the  honors  for  the 
men's  intramurals.  The  entire  season 
and  year  proved  a  healthy  way  to  vent 
out  the  rivalry  between  fraternities  and 
sororities  as  well  as  faculty  and 
Independents.  [\

Dining  Out  in  Snavely 


How  to  Sit  in  the  Cafeteria 


By 


Cari  Gisler 


(  *\A/here  do  you  want  to  sit?" 

YY  This  is  a  question  that  only 
a  freshman  would  ask,  and  even  then, 
only  during  his/her  first  month  at 
Birmingham-Southern  College.  After  a 
few  weeks,  the  dilema  of  where  to  dine 
in  the  Snavely  cafeteria  is  solved.  As 
freshmen,  we  all  committed  the 
dreaded  faux  pas  of  sitting  at  the  first 
available  seat  only  to  find  ourselves 
surrounded  by  ATO's  or  Alpha  Chi's. 
As  upperclassmen,  we  understand  the 
inconvenience  of  being  uprooted  by 
cafe  nomads  who  have  not  learned 
proper  seating  etiquette.  So  what  can 
we  do?  We  can  educate  them. 

The  first  lesson  to  learn  is  that  most 
everyone  has  a  place  to  sit  while  eat- 
ing. Greeks  are  easy  to  find  because 
they  each  have  a  table  (sometimes  they 
spill  over  onto  another,  but  generally  it 
is  only  one),  and  all  you  have  to  do  is 
look  for  the  jerseys.  The  entire  right 
side  of  the  cafeteria  is  taken  up  by  fra- 
ternities and  sororities  (ie:  SAE,  KD, 
AOPi,  and  KA).  The  baseball  or  basket- 
ball players  generally  sit  towards  the 


ATO's  Rick  Nelson  and  Mike 
IViJJiams  visit  on  the  ATO  table. 
which  extends  between  the  en- 
trances of  the  cafe. 


back  of  the  cafe'  and  to  the  right.  They 
share  the  tables  with  APhiA  as  well. 

As  you  move  to  the  left  of  the  room, 
the  seating  arrangement  gets  less  rigid. 
ZTA,  Theta  Chi,  AXO,  Pi  Phi,  and  ATO 
occupy  this  area  for  the  most  part. 
However,  one  or  two  tables  are  left 
greek-less,  and  so  they  are  taken  by 
Religion/Philosophy  majors  with  a 
sprinkling  of  English  or  computer 
science  majors. 

All  the  way  to  the  left  of  the  room  is 
chaos.  This  is  where  the  Fine  Arts 
(Theatre,  Art,  Music,  and  sometimes 
Dance]  majors  stop  for  a  while.  Any 
student  can  identify  this  area  by  the 
cloud  of  smoke  hovering  over  it. 

The  second  lesson  is  that  this  can  all 
change  depending  on  the  hour  of  the 
day.  In  the  mornings,  the  arrangements 
are  rarely  upheld  unless  someone  has  a 
particular  attachment  to  a  certain 
place.  And  if  it  after  6:00  p.m.,  you  just 
about  sit  anywhere. 

Now  you  know,  so  don't  let  it  happen 
again.

Where  Is  My  Money? 


The  Life  of  a  Desperate  Student 


By 


Hank  Sherrod 


%  A  Ihere  did  all  of  my  money  go?" 


a  bewildered  BSC  student 
asks  as  he  considers  making  that 
dreaded  phone  call  home  asking  for 
money.  "Where  did  it  all  go?!?!" 

The  money  phone  call  is  unique  in 
the  college  subculture  and  is  significant 
because  it  has  only  one  purpose — to 
ask  Mom  or  Dad  for  MONEY!  The 
money  phone  call  wasn't  very  useful  in 
high  school  (can't  call  home  when  you 
are  home),  and  probably  won't  be  after 
college  ("You're  on  your  own  .  .  "],  so 
we  had  better  make  good  use  of  it  now. 

The  occasion  for  the  phone  call, 
unfortunately,  rarely  coincides  with 
Mom's,  Dad's,  or  a  sibling's  birthday, 
and  never  any  major  religious  holiday. 
Thus  is  often  the  catalyst  for  interesting 
conversations.  Responses  like  "Are  you 
okay?"  or  "You  didn't  wreck  the  car, 
did  you?"  are  not  uncommon  if  parents 
are  unaccustomed  to  such  unscheduled 
phone  calls.  If  the  conversation  gets 
past  these  responses,  then  the  student 
can  ask  for  the  big  bucks.  Of  course, 
the  parent  in  charge  of  the  funds  for 
the  needy  student  asks  the  main  ques- 


tion: "Where  did  all  of  your  money 
go?" 

The  student,  equally  confused, 
answers  in  a  panic,  "I  didn't  go  out 
very  much  this  term,  and  my  books 
were  outrageous!!"  The  statement  "I 
didn't  go  out  much"  has  many  mean- 
ings in  BSC  language.  Depending  on 
inflection,  the  phrase  can  mean  that  the 
student  did  not  go  out  the  night  before 
a  crucial  test  or  paper.  It  can  also  mean 
that  an  expensive  night  on  Southside 
was  forgone  in  exchange  for  a  pitcher 
at  the  Tide.  In  some  rare  cases,  it  can 
actually  mean  that  the  student  didn't  go 
out  very  much  that  semester. 

The  student  goes  on  to  explain  about 
Shamrock's  Veal  Parmesan  and  the 
money  saved  by  avoiding  the  enormous 
hospital  bills  while  dining  at  Formosa, 
Krispy  Kreme,  Wendy's  or  wherever. 
The  student  points  out  how  he  is 
furthering  economic  growth  with  trips 
to  the  new  Galleria. 

His  parents  are  not  convinced,  but 
the  money  always  comes.  I  guess  they 
figure  it  is  all  part  of  a  liberal  arts 
education.  |^ 


A  student  shows  off  the  bare  ne- 
cessities of  a  college  student:  a 
meal  ticket,  a  credit  card,  and 
twenty-five  dollars  to  burn.

An  Andrews  Affair 


The  Event  of  '86 


By 


Catherine  Scalise 


Who  says  BSG  is  too  conservative  to 
be  trendy?  Why  the  Hilltop  has 
gone  through  just  about  every  trend 
that  has  come  down  the  pike!  We've 
seen  short  hair,  long  hair,  flipflops, 
hightops,  neon  and  lace,  leather  & 
spikes,  mousse,  boxers.  Swatches, 
paisley,  Izods,  rhinestones,  and  Add-a- 
Beads.  Moreover,  Birmingham-South- 
ern in  the  spirit  of  Boy  George  and  An- 
nie Lennox,  is  welcoming  the  advent  of 
Androgyny  as  a  fashion  statement  with 
open  arms.  However,  unisex  clothing  is 
no  hot  news  item.  Now,  even  the  dor- 
mitories are  experiencing  difficulty  in 
gender  determination.  The  big 
conversion  occurred  at  the  end  of  this 
school  year,  when  the  student  body 
was  informed  by  Karin  Christopherson, 
Director  of  Residence  Life,  that 
Andrews  Dorm  had  decided  to  come 
out  of  its  some  86  closets  and  become 
female. 

Although  this  news  was  initially  re- 
ceived with  great  dismay  by  its  current 
residents  and  other  male  students,  the 
notorious  Third  Floor,  ever  on  the  look- 
out for  an  excuse  to  throw  a  wing-ding, 
chose  to  greet  the  change  with  a  spec- 
tacular, end-of-the-year  soiree.  Hence, 
the  "Andrews  Has  a  Sex  Change  Par- 
ty" was  presented  for  the  enjoyment  of 
the  student  body. 

On  Friday  afternoon.  May  10,  1986, 
the  quad  entrance  of  Andrews  was 
jammed  with  eager  scholars,  sporting 
opaque  containers  in  a  rainbow  of 
smart  primary  colors.  Their  final  desti- 
nadon:  the  legendary  3rd  floor.  Those 
in  attendance  were  greeted  with  pleas- 
ant conversation.  Southern  hospitality 
practically  oozing  from  the  stucco-like 
walls,  and  of  course,  plenty  of  icy  cold 
brew. 

Host  Extraordinaire  Thomas  Waters 
greeted  his  guests  with  such  pleasant- 
ries as,  "Hi!  I'm  Thomas  Waters,  heh, 
heh,  heh"  or  "Well,  darlin',  you  look 


14:4 — Campus  Lije 


like  you  could  use  a  beer"  or,  most  of- 
ten, "Have  you  seen  Lovely  any- 
where?" 

The  events  of  the  afternoon 
culminated  with  a  photo  of  all  the  visi- 
tors and  residents  leaning  out  of  the 
dorm's  windows.  After  the  keg  was 
drained,  all  in  attendance  began  the 
trek  toward  Snavely  for  a  filling  meal 


of  Meatloaf  Supreme. 

Karin  Christopherson  said  of  th 
gala,  "it  was  the  event  of  '86  here  i 
BSC."  This  was  the  general  consensu 
of  the  dozens  present  at  the  fieste 
When  Waters  was  asked  to  commen 
he  said,  "Well,  darlin',  a  good  time  wa 
had  by  all!"  K}

Quest  II  Movie  Series 


By 


Brooks  Adams 


The  1985-1986  Quest  II  movie  sched- 
ule was  most  exciting,  with  10  hit 
movies  shown  during  the  year  to  many 
students — students  that  were  tired  . . . 
and  worn  by  the  attrition  of  a  regular 
daily  schedule.  The  movies,  shown  in 
Munger,  Simpson,  and  on  the  Quad 
provided  a  well  needed  break  for 
many  students,  and  occasionally,  a 
faculty  member. 

Good  scheduling  and  great  movies 
helped  make  attendance  better  than 
previous  years  at  most  movies. 
However,  the  students  were  outnum- 
bered at  least  5  to  1  by  those  little  12 
oz.  cans  at  any  movie  shown  in 
Simpson  or  on  the  Quad. 

The  movies  on  the  Quad  are 
traditionally  the  most  fun — students  get 
their  beer,  their  blankets,  and  their 
lovers  (in  that  order)  and  go  to  the 
show.  This  year  PJaces  in  the  Heart, 
The  Breakfast  Club,  and  Back  to  the 
Future  were  shown  outside.  Although 
the  wind  tended  to  make  the  screen 
fall  at  most  crucial  moments  (like  when 
Character  A  sees  parts  of  Character  B 
he  shouldn't  see),  everyone  who 
remembered  the  movies  had  a  very  en- 
tertaining evening. 

Weather  often  did  not  permit  outside 
movies,  so  it  was — MVUNGER —  where 
it  is  illegal  to  have  beer!!  Also,  the  more 


serious  movies,  such  as  The  KiUing 
Fields,  Witness,  and  Sophie's  Choice 
were  shown  in  conjunction  with  the  1986 
Homecoming  theme,  "Once  in  a  Life- 
time." 

And  then  there  was  the  Simpson 
Party  Barn,  where  Quest  II  showed  the 
Christmas  favorite,  It's  a  Wonderful 
Life;  the  psuedo-serious  novel  about 
sex,  drugs,  and  rock  and  roll,  and  col- 
lege graduates,  St.  EJmo's  Fire,  and  the 
ridiculously  silly,  Pee-Wee's  Big  Ad- 
venture. 

Many  felt  that  the  1985-1986  Quest  II 
movie  lineup  was  one  of  the  most 
successful  ever.  Everyone  had  the  op- 
portunity to  see  a  good  movie,  drink  a 
lot  of  beer,  and  blow  off  a  hell  of  a  lot 
of  schoolwork.

Hilltopper  Goes 
Hollywood 


KA's  in  the  Twilight  Zone 


By 


Kacy  O'Brien 


Mr.  Hilltopper  1986  claimed  the 
wonderful  world  of  television  as 
its  topic  this  year  with  categories 
ranging  from  Talk  Shows  to  Situation 
Comedies.  The  evening  started  with  the 
1985-86  AOPi  Pledge  Class  dancing  to 
old  television  theme  songs  such  as 
Bonanza,  Gilligan's  Island  and  Batman. 
The  finished  their  portion  of  the 
program  with  the  traditional  chorus 
kickline  to  the  theme  from  Bugs  Bunny. 
Next,  emcees  Earl  Freeman,  Joelle 
James  and  Kristi  Tingle  introduced  the 
night's  judges:  Dr.  Susan  Hagan,  Dr. 
Jane  Archer  and  Dr.  Tom  Moore  who 
marched  into  Munger- Auditorium 
dressed  in  the  judicial  garb  of  robes 
and  white  wigs. 

The  first  skit  of  the  '86  Mr. 
Hilltopper  was  the  Alpha  Tau  Omega's 
news  show.  The  highlight  of  the  cre- 
ative skit  was  Brannon  Bowman's  "Did 
you  ever  wonder  why?"  talk.  Next  the 
Alpha  Chi  Omega's  led  us  into  the 
"Election  Zone"  for  the  horror  cate- 
gory. The  sorority  questioned  the  elec- 
tion of  Flinch  Seemsgross,  Bewilder  El- 
lis, Thrill  Allen,  and  Flirt  Senn  as  the 
new  SGA  officers.  Following  the  Alpha 
Chi's  was  another  rendition  of  the  Twi- 
light Zone  presented  by  the  Kappa  Al- 
pha Order.  The  winning  skit  showed  a 
rushes,  Ted  Strong,  traveling  through  a 
new  dimension  of  time  and  space  to 
experience  each  fraternity  of  campus. 
The  Kappa  Alpha's  epitomized  each 
fraternal  organization  of  the  campus  in- 
cluding themselves,  but  the  rushee  nev- 
er got  to  make  a  choice.  Because  of  a 


suspect  pizza  and  an  evil  dehvery  man, 
the  rushee  was  sentenced  to  life  as  an 
Independent  GDI.  To  round  out  the 
first  group  of  skits,  the  Kappa  Delta's 
presented  their  version  of  M*A*S*H 
for  the  situation  comedy  category. 

During  the  break  between  skits,  the 
Mr.  Hilltopper  candidates  were 
introduced— AX,  Marty  Mead;  ATO, 
Kent  Pearson;  KA,  Andy  Hawkins;  KD, 
Jim  Poist;  Pi  Phi,  David  Taylor;  SAE, 
Rodney  Ferguson;  Theta  Chi,  J.D. 
Wheeler  and  ZTA,  Joey  Jennings. 

Opening  the  second  portion  of  skits 
was  the  Theta  Chi's  spinoff  of  the 
television  western  "Gunsmoke."  The 
Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon's  followed  with 
an  interesting  interpretation  of  the  Da- 
vid Letterman  Show.  The  skit  com- 
bined the  talents  of  an  ice  cream 
juggler,  fish  cleaners  and  a  rabid  dog 
impersonator.  The  Zeta's  presented  the 
dramatic  story  of  the  College's  comput- 
er system  becoming  possessed.  After  at- 
tempts to  fix  the  system  by  Dr.  Berte, 
Stewart  Jackson  and  Jimmie  the  Salad 
Lady,  Andy  Moses — SGA  President 
and  all-around  good  guy — comes  to  the 
rescue  of  the  endre  college.  The  final 
skit  was  a  comedy  skit  presented  by  Pi 
Beta  Phi.  The  Pi  Phi's  M*A*S*H-ori- 
ented  skit  epitomized  each  Greek  orga- 
nization through  a  rousing  camp  song. 

The  judges'  decision  is  based  not 
only  on  the  skits  but  also  the  candi- 
dates' resumes  and  each  Greek  group's 
attendance.  This  year's  judges  picked 
the  Kappa  Alpha  candidate  Andy 
Hawkins  as  Mr.  Hilltopper  1986.  [iH

AXO  Presents:  Casino 

Living  It  Up  for  Cystic  Fibrosis 


By 


Ellen  Beal 


Casino  this  year  was  a  fantastic  par- 
ty. Held  on  March  10,  in  the 
Simpson  party  barn,  this  party  comes 
complete  with  gambling  tables,  ciga- 
rette girls,  door  prizes,  and  male  strip- 
pers. Casino  is  the  Alpha  Chi's  major 
philanthropy  project.  All  the  proceeds 
go  to  cystic  fibrosis,  and  the  chapter  is 
proud  to  announce  that  it  raised  $2100 
for  the  cause. 

But  what  is  Casino?  Like  I  said,  this 
party  has  something  for  everyone. 
Tickets  are  three  dollars,  and  each  per- 
son is  given  twenty-five  hundred 
dollars  (in  AXO  monopoly  money)  to 
gamble  with.  There  is  the  choice  of 
playing  craps,  roulette,  poker,  or  black- 
jack. Each  fraternity  volunteers  a  mem- 
ber or  two  (or  three)  to  act  as  dealers. 
At  the  end  of  the  evening,  the  top  mon- 
ey winner  receives  a  Grande  Prize,  and 
this  year  the  prize  was  a  Romantic 
Evening  complete  with  Limousine 
Ride,  Dinner,  and  Wine  and  Cheese 
baskets.  The  top  money  winner  was 
none  other  than  our  very  own  SGA 
president,  Fench  Seagroves. 

For  those  of  you  that  prefer  dancing 
to  gambling,  the  ever-popular  Extras 
played  this  year.  They  certainly  added 
to  the  success  of  the  party. 

The  highlight  of  the  evening's  enter- 
tainment was  the  male  strippers.  This 
year  the  crowd  had  the  extreme  plea- 
sure    of    watching    )ohn     "Cujo" 


Holliman,  )oe  "Chippendale"  Tondera, 
Ted  "Cruise"  Strong,  and  the  returning 
champ  from  1985,  Chris  "White  Horse" 
Moseley.  The  winner  was  chosen  by 
audience  appreciation,  and  John 
Holliman  (aka:  Billy  Idol)  won  by  a 
very  close  margin.  John  went  home 
with  a  Pioneer  car  stereo  (pretty  good 
incentive). 

Other  entertainment  during  the  band 
break  consisted  of  a  dance  performed 
by  the  1985  Alpha  Chi  Omega  pledge 
class,  set  to  music  from  A  Chorus  Line. 
Next  on  the  program  were  two 
numbers  danced  by  Shannon  O'Meara, 
Tracy  Fulton,  Melanie  Markham, 
Diane  Duffey,  Jim  Newman,  and  Wade 
Smith.  The  winners  of  the  door  prizes 
were  announced  by  the  much  loved 
and  greatly  appreciated  emcee,  Tom 
Moore. 

Casino  wouldn't  be  complete  without 
the  annual  pledge  stripper,  however. 
Each  year  an  AXO  pledge  is  hand- 
picked  by  the  Casino  chairperson 
(Debbie  Shih  this  year)  to  entertain  the 
crowd.  Yvonne  Pfister  was  the  lucky 
choice  for  this  year's  festivities,  and  she 
put  on  quite  a  show. 

Casino  '86  was  a  fantastic  success. 
The  Alpha  Chi's  put  a  lot  of  hard  work 
into  the  party.  Casino  is  a  lot  of  fun  for 
a  three  dollar  admission  price,  and  it's 
a  good  cause  as  well.

Playing  Together 

Greeks  Enjoy  Friendly  Competition 
By 


Kem  Jones 


Running,  jumping,  screaming,  and 
singing  their  way  to  victory,  the 
brothers  of  Theta  Chi  fraternity  and  the 
sisters  of  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  sorority  won 
the  annual  Greek  Week  competition  in 
April.  The  events  held  during  the  five 
days  of  activity  drew  on  the  diverse 
talents  of  each  fraternity  and  sorority 
as  the  competition  demanded  both 
athletic  and  musical  skills. 

Greek  Week  began  and  ended  on 
philanthropic  notes.  Greeks  rolled  up 
their  sleeves  on  Monday  to  participate 
in  the  Circle  K/American  Red  Cross 
sponsored  Blood  Drive.  Over  200  pints 
of  blood  were  donated  in  a  very  worthy 


cause.  On  Friday,  Greeks  and  College 
officials  braved  the  murky  depths  of 
the  dunking  booth's  waters  to  raise 
money  for  the  Riley  Community  Cen- 
ter. Dr.  Robert  Moxley,  Vice  President 
for  Business  Affairs,  proved  to  be  the 
biggest  money  maker  of  the  afternoon 
as  student  after  student  tried  to  dunk 
their  favorite  administrator.  Many  suc- 
ceeded. A  scavenger  hunt  sent  Greeks 
searching  for  spaghetti  noodles,  a  dog, 
toilet  paper  and  even  an  independent 
student.  A  game  of  Trivial  Pursuit  pit- 
ted some  of  the  great  Greek  minds  in  a 
fierce  intellectual  competition. 
Athletically,  Greeks  were  called 


upon  to  run  in  a  mile  relay,  a  mile  run, 
a  5-K  run  and  the  hundred  yard  dash. 
Fraternities  clashed  during  the  tug-of- 
war  and  hulked  their  way  through  the 
keg  toss  competition.  Greeks  also  used 
their  aquatic  skills  in  the  swim  meet 
held  at  the  pool. 

Greek  games  required  less  athletic 
skill  and  more  luck  as  fraternity  and 
sorority  members  tossed  eggs,  raced  in 
sacks  and  searched  for  ping-pong  balls 
in  mounds  of  whipped  cream  with 
their  faces. 

The  highlight  of  the  week  was  the 
Greek  Sing  competition.  Serving  as  a 
warm-up,  the  Greek  God  and  Goddess

Contest  thrilled  the  packed  Munger 
Auditorium  Audience.  Alpha  Omicron 
Pi's  Leslie  Blake  and  Theta  Chi's  Alan 
Hurd  were  crowned  the  winners.  The 
Greek  Sing  performances  highlighted 
campus  events  and  spoofed  campus 
personalities  while  exhibiting  the  talent 
and  creative  range  of  Birmingham- 
Southern  College  Greeks.  In  the 
winning  sorority  entry,  Zeta  Tau  Alpha 
began  their  program  with  a  medly  of 
songs  depicting  the  life  of  a  'Southern 
student  and  ended  with  a  song  on 
sisterhood.  In  the  fraternity  division, 
Theta  Chi  and  SAE  tied  for  first  place. 
Theta  Chi  depicted  an  old  west  saloon 
scene  in  "The  Ballad  of  Burleigh 
Clyde."  Dressed  in  three-pieced  suits, 
horned-rimmed  glasses,  and  equipped 


with  Wall  Street  Journals,  the  SAE's 
poked  fun  at  themselves  as  they  "sang" 
their  rendition  of  "Progress  is  the  Root 
of  all  Evil." 

"The  spirit,  enthusiasm,  and  overall 
effort  was  outstanding"  said  Kem 
Jones,  Director  of  Student  Activities 
and  Services.  "Each  of  group  had  a 
high  percentage  of  participation.  The 
week  was  truly  a  celebration  of 
Greekism  on  the  BSC  campus."  Every- 
one seemed  to  have  fun,  and  the  spirit 
of  competition  was  shown  at  its  best. 
Also,  the  fun  was  not  confined  to  the 
Greeks.  Independents  enjoyed 
spectating,  and  the  Alpha  Lambda  Del- 
ta Scholars  Bowl  finals  provided  enter- 
tainment for  everyone.  [\]

The  Snaveltorium 
Cuisine 

Students  Sample  Shamrock  Menu 
By 

Deborah  Holland 


They  dined  on  chicken  a  I'Orange, 
veal  with  white  sauce,  cauliflower 
casserole,  stir-fried  vegetables,  lemon 
merengue  pie,  and  cream  puffs.  Which 
Birmingham  restaurant  serves  such  an 
assortment  you  ask?  Well,  this  food  was 
not  served  in  any  restaurant,  it  was 
served  in  the  Madelyn  Suavely  Ball- 
room by  Shamrock  Food  Service. 

Through  a  joining  effort  of  Shamrock 
and  Student  Affairs,  a  Food  Services 
Committee  was  established  in  Febru- 
ary. Athletes,  greeks,  and  dorm  reps 
were  a  few  who  made  up  the  diverse 
group  of  twenty-five.  They  soon  found 
out  they  were  to  serve  as  "guinea  pigs" 
while  representing  the  taste  buds  of  the 
entire  campus. 

The  first  meeting  of  this  committee,  a 
tasting  party,  was  even  noted  by  the 
media.  At  this  meeting,  and  all  of  those 


that  followed,  students  tried  new 
recipes  of  meats,  vegetables  and  des- 
serts not  currently  served  by  Shamrock 
on  the  daily  menus.  The  tasters  then 
offered  praise  or  criticism  to  the  cafete- 
ria cook,  managers,  and  servers  who 
also  attended  the  meetings.  Comments 
ranged  from  "The  orange  sauce  is  too 
'orangey',"  "I  hate  asparagus  and  don't 
think  you  ought  to  waste  our  money  on 
it,"  and  "The  cherry  pie  is  a  must!"  The 
recommended  items  were  then  served 
to  the  student  body. 

The  committee  was  a  strong  effort  by 
Shamrock  to  please  the  taste  buds  of 
those  it  served  while  also  dissipating 
the  mystery  meat  and  leftover  theories. 
The  committee  will  continue  to  meet 
three  times  a  semester.  Meanwhile, 
pleasant  dining.  pT] 


Gormet  dishes  from  every  Jand 
are  featured  at  Shamrock's 
Taste-Testing  meetings.  Audrey

Entertainment  Festival 


Quest  II  Strikes  Again. 


By 


Catherine  Scalise 


Never  let  it  be  said  that  Quest  II 
can't  throw  a  party,  'cause  it  just 
ain't  so.  This  fact  was  proven  on  the 
evening  of  Friday,  May  3,  at  the  1986 
Quest  II  Entertainment  Festival,  held 
in  the  Simpson  Party  Palace. 

The  evening  began  with  comedians 
imported  from  Birmingham's  own 
Comedy  Club.  Mark  Dichiara,  a 
Birmingham-Southern  graduate,  kicked 
the   evening   off   with   jokes   o'plenty. 


Next  on  stage  was  comic  guitarist  Mark 
McCullom  who  set  his  sharp  wit  to  mu- 
sic with  thunderous  applause  as  rhythm 
backup.  Finally,  the  crowd  jammed  to 
the  tunes  provided  by  J-Town  Sound,  a 
local  blues  band. 

In  addition  to  the  entertainment. 
Quest  II  provided  free  soft  drinks  and 
DeVinci's  pizza  at  25(1;  a  slice.  Of 
course,  many  brought  their  own  re- 
freshments in  playmate  cooler,  buggies. 


and  the  over-popular  opaque  container. 
Students  turned  out  in  full  force  for 
the  pre-exam  bash.  Despite  end-of-the- 
year  Greek  events,  turn  out  was  excel- 
lent; there  was  a  full  house  all  evening, 
and  close  to  100  faithful  onlookers 
stayed  until  security  began  locking  up. 
Quest  II  was  very  pleased  with  the 
outcome  of  the  affair,  ir— i

Is  There  Nightlife? 

What  to  Do  in  Birmingham? 


By 


Mara  Rainville 


Potential  Material:  What  is  there  to 
do  in  the  big  city,  anyway?  College 
Junior:  Nothing! 

Well,  you're  wrong,  oh  jaded  one! 
There's  plenty  of  nightlife.  One  just  has 
to  be  resourceful!  If  you're  just  looking 
for  a  relaxed  evening  with  a  pitcher  or 
two,  there  are  the  trusty  standbys,  The 
Touchdown  Cafe  and  The  Tide  and  Ti- 
ger, or  perhaps  the  Pitcher  Show.  ($1.50 
movies!] 

For  a  little  more  excitement,  try 
Louie  Louie  with  live  music  and 
longnecks  every  night  of  the  week  ex- 
cept Monday  (and  don't  forget — no 
cover  Tuesdays!),  Here  you  can  enjoy 
the  sounds  of  Split  the  Dark,  Tomboy, 
Telluride,  Chevy  6,  and  of  course, 
everybody's  favorite  The  Extras.  But 
everyone  knows  that  partying  at  Louie's 
can  get  rather  expensive — so  for  you 
bargain  hunters  . . .  drink  specials!! 

For  Longlsland  Tea  Lovers: 
Spats:  $2.95  in  a  quart  Mason  jar  from 

11am  to  9pm  Tuesdays. 
Austins:  $1.00  LIT's  from  4pm-9pm  on 

Fridays,  quart  (32  oz.) 
Clyde   Houston's   teas   are   a   steal   at 
$3.75  all  the  time. 

For  Beer  Lovers: 

Smokey  Joe's  Cafe:  $3.00  pitchers 
during  happy 
hour,  different 
Beer  of  the  Week 
every  week. 

Tide  and  Tiger:  Miller  Longnecks 


75(1:  Tuesday  nights, 
Lite  Longnecks  75(1: 
Thursday  nights. 

Miscellaneous:  Dugan's  Drink  of  the 
Day:  reduced  price  on 
a  certain  drink  each 
day. 

Bennigan's:  happy  hour  everyday  from 
11  am  to  7pm. 

Don't  forget  regular  happy  hour  from 
4-7  at  nearly  every  establishment  in 
town! 

Don't  despair,  those  who  like  to  cele- 
brate on  Sundays — Birmingham  is  be- 
coming some  what  more  liberal!  T.P. 
Crockmeiers,  Clyde  Houstons,  Rube 
Burrows,  Austins  and  Hoppers  to  have 
private  licenses. 

Late  nighters — you  don't  have  to  go 
home  at  2:00!  The  plaza  is  invariably 
open  until  everyone  goes  home,  and 
P.T.'s  Tavern  serves  great  food  until 
4:00  am. 

If  you're  in  a  more  sedate  mood  and 
just  want  to  sit  back  and  catch  a  movie, 
well,  $4.25  is  a  bit  much!  So  try  Magic 
96  Movie  Monday — $1.96  (and  popcorn 
and  a  coke  for  a  mere  96(1; — what  a 
bargain!)  Not  such  a  steal,  but  still 
economical  is  Cobb  Theatre's  $2.50 
Tuesday  movie. 

But  maybe,  (you  pre-med,  law  etc.) 
you'd  better  stay  home  and  study — you 
can  always  use  a  punch  in  the  campus 
store  or  catch  the  movie  on  the 
quad!  (5-)

of  the  fountain,  a  cool  breeze  blowing 
through  my  bilevel  bob,  I  cross  my 
Guess  clad  legs,  kick  off  my  orange 
reptile  flats,  roll  up  the  sleeves  of  my 
favorite  Calvin  Klein  shirt,  and  don  my 
Way-Farers.  At  last,  I  am  ready  for  fad 
gazing.  As  I  study  the  passers  by,  I  dis- 
cover 3  major  fashion  avenues:  "I 
Wanna  Be  a  Rock  Star,"  "Sixties' 
Throwback,"  and  "Pre-Yuppie." 

Miss  Wanna  Be  saunters  by  sporting 
an  oversized  paisley  sweater  with 
shoulder  pads  borrowed  from  Joe 
Namath.  The  sweater  covers  three  co- 
ordinated tank  tops,  the  bottom  one 
bearing  a  suspicious  resemblance  to 
Queen  Anne's  lace.  On  her  left  breast 
dangles  an  antique  rhinestone  brooch 
gleaming  in  the  late  afternoon  sun.  The

sleeves  are  slightly  elevated  to  reveal  a 
Limited  Edition  Swatch  with  a  .00739 
karat  genuine  diamond  fragment  at 
high  noon.  The  sweater  tops  a  pair  of 
basic  black  stirrup  pants  which  her 
roommate  must  help  peal  off.  Finishing 
the  outfit  are  royal  blue  Reeboks  and  a 
pair  of  brass  earrings  that  look  like  Ro- 
man shields.  Of  course,  the  left  ear  is 
pierced  at  least  three  times. 

Mr.  Wanna  Be  eases  by  in  an 
oversized,  buttoned-to-the-neck  shirt 
(no  unnatural  fibers,  please,  we're  al- 
lergic). Magically,  this  cotton  wonder  is 
impervious  to  wrinkles.  He  too  has  a 
pierced  ear — anything  but  a  diamond 
stud  is  a  glamour  don't.  The  subtly 
printed  suspenders  make  contact  with 


pleated  baggies,  preferably  WilliWear, 
but  Generra  will  have  to  do  for  the 
budget  conscious.  The  cuffed  trousers 
smartly  cover  his  trusty  Converse 
hightops.  Topping  his  dashing  outfit  is 
the  short  coif  with  gelled  ringlets. 

You  can  pretty  much  bank  on  the 
fact  that  the  "Sixties'  Throwbacks"  are 
Fine  Arts  majors,  though  their  sex  is 
usually  undeterminable.  It's  not  so 
much  that  these  folks  are  trying  to 
make  a  fashion  statement,  rather  they 
generally  grab  the  first  thing  they  find 
on  the  floor  in  the  morning.  "Outlet 
Bonanza"  best  describes  this  apparel 
genre.  Must  haves  include  tie'dyed  tees 
with  all  manner  of  rips  and  cig  holes, 
jeans  originally  owned  by  Strauss 
himself  and  Jesus  sandals. 

The  last,  least  daring  mode  of  dress 
is  the  ever-popular  "Pre-Yuppie"  look. 
These  garments  may  as  well  have  mon- 
ey woven  in  the  fabric  because  an  as-

hair  is  always  parted  on  the  left.  His 


boxers  are  plainly  visible  beneath  his 
Banana  Republic  khaki  shorts.  And  he 
always  has  on  tennis  shoes. 

Of  course,  there  are  many  in- 
betweens  in  these  3  categories.  And 
mention  must  be  made  of  the  invasion 
of  traditionally  rock-n-roll  garb.  For 
those  who  wouldn't  dare  climb  out  on  a

The  Stairway  to  Heaven 

Actors  Are  Remembered  by  the  Theatre 


By 


Tina  Lilly 


Most  actors  hope  to  be  remembered 
when  they  are  gone  by  a  sidewalk 
star  in  Hollywood,  or  a  classic  film  that 
will  enable  them  to  live  on.  But  these 
actors  are  not  aware  of  a  very  special 
way  they  are  honored  by  'Southern's 
theater  majors:  dead  actors  are  irrever- 
ently honored  by  being  placed  in  the 
Memorial  Block  Stairwell  in  the  Col- 
lege Theater. 

The  Memorial  Block  Stairwell  is  a 
three-story  high  spiral  staircase  stage 
left  in  the  theater.  Each  time  an  actor 
dies,  one  of  the  cement  blocks  on  the 
wall  is  painted,  then  the  actors  name 
and  commentary  are  written  on  the 
block.  Theater  people  race  to  the  stair- 
well following  the  announcement  of  a 
star's  death  so  they  will  be  the  one  to 
paint  his  block. 

"When  an  actor  dies,  I  don't  think 
about  who  he  was,  or  what  he  accom- 
plished," said  junior  theater  major  Cari 
Gisler,  "I  just  think  about  putting  his 
name  in  the  stairwell." 

Most  inductees  into  the  Memorial 
Block  stairwell  are  not  remembered 
with  respect  or  reverence.  Karen 
Carpenter's  epitaph  reads,  "Rainy  days 
and  Monday's  always  make  me 
hungry,"  because  she  died  of  anorexia 
nervosa,  while  Natalie  Wood,  a  drown- 
ing victim,  is  remembered  with,  "To  a 
woman  who  never  showered  on  the 
boat  because  she  liked  to  wash  up  on 
the  shore." 

"The  most  fvm  part  of  the  stairwell  is 
trying  to  think  of  the  crudest  saying  to 
write  on  a  block,"  said  freshman 


theater  major  Sean  Devine,  author  of 
Vic  Morrow's  epitaph,  "Are  you  sure 
this  thing  is  safe?"  Morrow  was 
decaptitated  in  a  helicopter  accident. 

The  stairwell  was  founded  by  gradu- 
ate Johnny  "Killer"  Johnson  in  1983 
when  he  wanted  to  memorialize  the 
legendary  Paul  "Bear"  Bryant.  Johnson 
followed  with  Ethel  Merman,  "I  never 
had  a  lesson!  (And  honey  it  showed)." 

One  note  to  trivia:  Johnson  is  one  of 
only  four  live  people,  with  blocks  in  the 
stairwell.  The  others  are  senior  theater 
majors  Michael  Merino  and  Beth 
Ensey;  and  Freshman  Sean  Devine. 
Ensey  and  Devine  painted  their  own 
block  in  the  stairwell. 

"We  were  hiding  from  Karen  Drews 
(technical   director   for   the   theater)," 
said  Ensey,  "We  couldn't  think  of  any  - 
dead  people,  so  we  put  ourselves  in  the 
stairwell." 

Drews  is  the  caretaker  of  the  stair- 
well. She  saves  pictures  of  dead  actors 
through  the  year,  and  when  there  is  a 
lull  between  productions,  she  assigns 
her  students  the  duty  of,  "updating  the 
stairwell." 

While  some  people  may  view  the 
Memorial  Block  Stairwell  as  insulting 
to  legendary  performers,  theater  majors 
at  'Southern  treat  the  stairwell  as  sa- 
cred ground.  Senior  Ehzabeth  Janes 
spent  hours  in  the  stairwell  waiting  for 
her  entrance  in  "Godspell."  She  tear- 
fully remembered  that  the  stairwell, 
"gave  me  new  perspective  on  my 
mortahty."  K2

Some  'Southern  Fun 

Bands  Rock  BSC

Audrey  Balkcom  enjoys  the 
Sunday  sun  and  the  nostaJgic 
sounds  of  Chevy  6. 


Chevy  6  emptied  the  dorms  for 
an  oJd-fashioned  Southern  lawn 
party. 


The  5th  annual  Southern  Comfort 
Weekend  took  place  on  April  10-13, 
1986.  The  weekend  involves  2  days  and 
3  nights  of  various  bands,  and  is  spon- 
sored by  the  Birmingham-Southern 
SGA,  with  your  activity  fee. 

In  the  past,  the  parties  have  been 
held  periodically  on  the  Dorm  Quad. 
This  year,  however,  due  to  the  damage 
to  the  Quad  from  last  years  weekend, 
the  parties  were  moved  to  Simpson 
Hall. 

The  weekend  began  with  the  Jimmy 
Colvin  Band.  Jimmy  brought  a 
R&B/Jazz  mixture  to  the  campus, 
which  everyone  loved.  The  turnout  for 
this  party  (Thursday  night)  was  more 
than  I  ever  expected,  and  I  believe 
people  genuinely  enjoyed  Jimmy's  mu- 
sic. 

Friday  night,  a  band  previously 
unheard  of  in  Birmingham  played  for 
us.  The  band.  Actors  on  Strike,  played 
a  mix  of  progressive.  Top  40,  and 
50's/60's   rock.   Although   the   turnout 


was  high,  the  band  did  not  go  over  as 
well  as  I  would  have  liked.  Some  stu- 
dents disliked  their  selection  of  music, 
while  others  disliked  the  way  they 
played  the  music.  Nevertheless,  there 
was  still  a  large  crowd  in  Simpson  for 
the  final  song. 

We  received  permission  from  the 
Administration  to  have  the  two  "day" 
bands  on  the  Dorm  Quad.  Despite  this 
fact,  the  weather  did  not  cooperate 
with  us,  and  Lost  in  the  Mail  Band 
played  in  Simpson  on  Saturday  after- 
noon. LITM  played  an  interesting  mix 
of  reggae  and  60's  rock,  very  mellow 
music  for  a  Saturday  afternoon.  Sur- 
prisingly, turnout  for  LITM  was  fair, 
even  though  it  was  raining  on  and  off 
all  that  day.  LITM  put  on  a  good  show 
as  usual. 

This  year,  we  were  lucky  to  have  two 
grand  finales  to  the  weekend.  The  first 
was  Saturday  night,  when  Tomboy 
played  to  a  packed  house  in  Simpson 
Hall.  Playing  50's/60's  and  contempo-

eate  a  true  Southern  party 
ith  stoien  dorm  furniture.  All

rary  rock,  Tomboy  put  on  an  outstand- 
ing show.  For  the  first  time  in  quite  a 
while,  Simpson  was  predominantly  full 
when  the  band  completed  their  perfor- 
mance. Tomboy,  along  with  Wibur  Ellis 
and  myself,  realized  that  another  set 
would  be  welcomed,  so  we  made  a 
deal  allowing  them  to  play  for  one  ex- 
tra hour.  This  turned  out  to  be  a  wise 
decision,  and  the  crowd  lingered  to 
hear  the  band.  Compliments  to  Tomboy 
for  an  impressive  show. 

The  second  grand  finale,  and  the  ac- 
tual end  to  the  weekend  took  place  on 
Sunday  afternoon.  This  time,  the  pow- 
ers that  be  allowed  a  beautiful  sunny 
afternoon — perfect  for  sunbathing  on 
the  Quad  to  the  tunes  of  Chevy  6. 
Chevy  6  played  predominately  50's/60's 
(Beach)  rock,  and  they  played  it  to  a 
full  Dorm  Quad  of  bronzed  bodies,  and 
frisbees  flying  everywhere.  They  were 
an  excellent  end  to  an  excellent 
weekend,  and  Sunday  afternoon  was 
truly  a  success. 


The  entire  weekend  was  sponsored, 
in  part,  by  Miller  Beer.  They  donated 
some  money,  along  with  beer  for  the 
night  parties  at  Simpson  Hall.  Miller 
also  allowed  us  to  give  away  t-shirts, 
hats,  posters,  and  cups  commemorating 
Southern  Comfort.  I'd  like  to  express 
my  appreciation  to  Steve  Snypes  for 
working  with  us  to  get  Miller's  support. 

I  would  also  like  to  thank  "Tex"  of 
Tired  Texan  Barbeque  for  selling  his 
great  sandwiches  during  some  of  the 
parties.  Everyone  loved  having  the  best 
Barbeque  in  town.  Thanks  Tex! 

I  would  also  like  to  thank  the  pre- 
vious and  the  new  SGA  members  for 
their  support  and  assistance.  In 
particular,  Vice-President  elect  Wilbur 
Ellis,  did  a  fantastic  job  helping  with 
the  weekend.  Thanks  Wilbur.  Also, 
thanks  goes  to  our  students  support  of 
SGA  and  of  Southern  Comfort,  making 
it  truly  the  best  party  weekend  in  the 
state.  [\j

Miss  Birmingham- Southern 

A  Contestant's  Perspective 


By 


Lucy  Tatman 


Keeping  with  the  proud  tradition  that 
resulted  in  the  Miss  Alabama  Pre- 
liminary in  1986,  yet  another  outstand- 
ing 'Southern  student,  Kym  Williams, 
was  crowned  in  February  at  the  Col- 
lege Theatre. 

Kym,  a  junior  from  Slidell,  Louisi- 
ana, was  a  relative  newcomer  to  the 
pageant  circle.  Never  the  less,  she 
swept  the  Miss  BSC  title  which,  in  ad- 
dition to  requiring  poise  and  the  ability 
to  interview  effectively,  show-cased 
her  singing  talents.  Kym  sang  "Some- 
where That's  Green"  from  the 
Broadway  musical  "Little  Shop  of 
Horrors"  to  a  thunderous  ovation. 

The  next  step  after  the  school's  com- 
petition was  to  prepare  for  the  Miss 
Alabama  Pageant  where  Kym  compet- 
ed against  sixty  other  outstanding  wom- 
en from  across  the  state.  After  a  week 
of  tedious  competition,  after  everyone 
had  simg  and  danced  and  after  every 
smile  had  been  smiled,  BSC's  entry 
captured  the  second-runner-up  spot,  a 
virtually  unheard  of  performance  for  a 
first  time  entree. 


Said  Kym  regarding  the  pageant, 
"Not  only  did  I  receive  much  needed 
scholarship  money,  I  learned  so  much 
about  myself.  Miss  Alabama  is  not  just 
a  'beauty'  pageant.  Fifty  percent  of  the 
pageant  is  based  on  talent.  I  gained  so 
much  confidence  and  self-worth  and 
got  to  do  the  thing  I  enjoy  most  and 
feel  I  do  best.  Granted,  the  swimsuit 
competition  is  not  my  favorite  thing  to 
do,  neither  is  evening  gown,  but  it  was 
a  challenge  and  I  survived.  Singing  is 
something  that  is  simple  for  me  to  do  in 
front  of  others  but  saying  a  speech  is 
not.  Never  the  less,  I  said  my  speech, 
walked  out  in  my  swim  suit,  and  went 
home  very  proud  of  myself." 

Proud  indeed.  Tabbed  as  an  early  fa- 
vorite for  next  year's  Miss  Alabama 
crown,  Kym  captiu-ed  the  Miss  Ail- 
American  Bowl  title  in  August,  netting 
her  yet  another  thousand  dollar  scho- 
larship, an  appearance  on  national 
television  during  the  All-American 
Bowl,  and  most  importantly,  another 
shot  at  the  state  crown.  [%2

Keeping 

Up  the 

Campus 

Another  BSC  Blessing 

By 
Kristen  French 


Birmingham  Southern  has  a 
reputation  for  looking  good,  and  the 
credit  belongs  to  our  fine  maintenance 
people.  They  give  their  all,  whether 
routinely  blowing  leaves  and  debris  off 
the  sidewalks  to  laying  down  grass  at 
the  last  minute  for  those  special  occa- 
sions. How  could  we  keep  up  our  high 
standards  without  their  help? 

The  importance  of  everyday  mainte- 
nance shines  through  in  regular  activit- 
ies of  these  brave  men  and  women. 
Taking  their  cue  from  the  administra- 
tion of  BSC,  they  keep  the  foliage 
clipped,  being  sure  to  guide  the  growth 
of  the  campus.  The  fountain  gets  its 
own  deserved  attention,  but  only  in 
time  to  spoil  Dr.  Bailey's  plans  to  bring 


his  biology  class  out  to  study  algae 
growth. 

How  often  have  we  noticed  the 
innovation  of  maintenance  when  visi- 
tors are  due?  The  campus  takes  on  an 
aureate  quality  of  green  for  patrons 
and  prospective  students,  whether 
spring  or  fall,  the  heat  waves  of  sum- 
mer or  the  bitter  cold  of  winter.  One 
must  admit  that  the  grass  seems  to 
spring  from  nowhere  at  these  times,  in 
easy  to  install  square  patches  or  in  the 
guise  of  green  straw  strewn  over  bare 
earth,  giving  the  campus  that  artificial 
quality  of  a  man  wearing  a  badly  made 
toupee. 

However,  maintenance  is  not  here 
only  to  give  the  public  an  aesthetically 
pleasing  atmosphere.  The  responsibili- 
ties of  maintenance  also  cover  the 
needs  of  those  who  live  here — the  stu- 
dents. But  however  much  we  complain 
about  maintenance,  we  do  appreciate 
them.  The  campus  is  clean  and  pleas- 
ing to  the  eye  and  runs  fairly  smoothly 
thanks  to  all  their  hard  work.  [\]

What  Fountain? 


by 


Monique  Randall 


The  students  at  Birmingham-Southern 
College  have  started  a  pleasant  but 
curious  tradition  of  sitting  by  the  foun- 
tain outside.  It  is  obvious  that  sitting  out 
in  the  sun  can  be  a  pleasurable  experi- 
ence but  the  question  that  we  must  ask 
ourselves  is  whether  or  not  there  is  a 
hidden  motivation.  Is  it  mere  sun 
worship  or  something  deeper?  Search- 
ing for  the  answer  to  the  meaningless 
question  posed  for  this  assignment 
transformed  into  a  type  of  personal 
quest.  There  are  many  theories  about 
fountain  sitting  but  none  have  been 
pinpointed  as  the  real,  underlying 
reason.  The  reader  can  only  glance 
over  the  various  theories  and  identify 
his  or  her  own  personal  reason  for 
fountain  sitting. 

The  basic  reasons  for  fountain  sitting 
which  come  to  mind  are  convenience, 
sun  worship  and  an  abundance  of 
available  gossip.  One  typical 
Birmingham-Southern  student.  Randy 
Cachet,  quite  eloquently  pointed  out 
the  convenience  of  the  fountain.  Randy 
said,  "It  is  in  the  middle  of  everything." 
This  is  certainly  true.  The  sun-loving 
BSC  students  congregate  around  the 
fountain  and  are  easily  identified  by 
their  brown  skin.  The  abundance  of 
gossip  is  normal  when  3  or  more  stu- 
dents gather  for  more  than  four

minutes. 

Aside  from  the  usual  reasons  for 
fountain  sitting  are  the  deeper  hidden 
motivations.  Judy  Ranelli,  a  student, 
feels  that  "people  sit  by  the  fountain 
because  of  an  unresolved  oedipal 
complex."  The  fountain  is  an  enclosed 
body  of  water  and  it  has  been  com- 
pared to  the  womb.  Dr.  Lloyd  Slone 
also  has  an  enlightening  theory  on  the 
odd  practice  of  fountain  sitting.  He  says 
that  students  gain  their  intellectual 
nourishment  from  the  library.  Suavely 
provides  physical  nourishment  and  the 
art  building  provides  spiritual  nourish- 
ment. The  foimtain  and  Dr.  Tucker's 
bold  gleaming  sculpture  above  it 
provide  the  desired  sensual  nourish- 
ment, and  thus,  all  needs  are  met. 

The  tradition  of  fountain  sitting  at 
BSC  has  been  overlooked  for  quite 
some  time.  Some  students  have  yet  to 
realize  the  significance  of  the  fountain. 
One  Art  student,  J.T.  Farmer,  sums  up 
his  feelings  on  the  subject  with  "What? 
The  big  urinal  outside  the  art  build- 
ing?" So  what  is  the  mysterious  reason 
that  we  sit  by  the  fountain?  There  is  no 
specific  answer.  The  answer  is  indivi- 
dual, so  at  our  next  sitting  we  must  all

Arkadelphig  Project 

'Southern  Gets  a  New  Entrance 


By 


Sharon  Lynch 


Although  it  is  a  pretty  hard 
adjustment  for  us,"  residents  of 
Ninth  Avenue  understand  the  reasons 
for  BSC's  acquisition  and  demohtion  of 
their  homes,  according  to  Mrs.  Cather- 
ine Erickson  of  816  Ninth  Ave.  West. 

Residents  in  the  area  of  Arkadelphia 
and  Ninth  say  that  they  were  contacted 
last  year  as  to  Southern's  plans  for  re- 
constructing the  back  entrance  to  the 
college,  and  they  had  time  to  adjust 
themselves  to  the  idea  of  relocation. 

The  property  is  necessary  for  the 
planned  construction  of  a  1.7  million 
dollar  entrance  along  with  other  road

ind  building  improvements  on  campus. 
Robert  Moxley,  Vice  President  of  Busi- 
jiess  Affairs,  said  that  he  would  "like  to 
■  ee  this  project  completed  in  two 
'ears." 

The  timing  of  the  project  is  designed 
!o  take  advantage  of  the  widening  of 
i\rkadelphia  Road  that  is  currently  un- 
derway. 

i  Moxley  explains  the  need  for  the 
broject  as  part  of  'Southern's 
continuing  excellence  program.  The 
iiew  entrance  will  make  it  even  easier 
0  get  on  and  off  campus  and  facilitate 
he  use  of  the  campus  for  more  activit- 


The  buiJdozer  will  be  a  messy 
inconvenience  while  Arkadei- 
phia  is  being  expanded,  bul  stu- 
dents' patience  will  be  rewarded 
with  a  new  parking  lot.

Though  Arkadelphia  is  clear  for 
the  light  early  morning  traffic, 
the  two-lane  cannot  contain  the 
heavy  5:00  traffic. 


During  Homecoming,  President 
Neal  Berte  displayed  a  scale 
model  of  what  is  hoped  to  be  the 
answer  to  student  parking. 


les. 

The  construction  on  Arkadelphia 
Road  will  allow  for  a  traffic  light  to 
control  traffic  at  the  entrance.  Visibility 
on  Arkadelphia  will  also  improve  with 
the  7-foot  lowering  of  the  hill  at  Ninth 
Court  West. 

The  entrance  will  consist  of  a  two- 
way  split  road  entering  the  campus  in 
the  vicinity  of  the  current  North  Gate. 
The  new  property  on  that  side  of  the 
campus  will  allow  for  the  construction 
of  an  additional  parking  lot  adjacent  to 
the  Methodist  center.  Walkways  will 
lead  from  the  parking  lot  to  the  Center. 


The  fence  will  be  repositioned  in  order 
to  contain  the  new  property. 

Because  the  new  entrance  will  be- 
come the  main  entrance,  a  sign  and  a 
new  guard  shack  will  be  constructed. 
For  the  same  reason,  work  on  upgrad- 
ing the  facades  of  the  buildings  near 
the  entrance  is  included  in  the  same 
project. 

Although  any  construction  on 
campus  is  disruptive  to  some  extent, 
Moxley  says  that  this  project  should  be 
less  troublesome  than  the  construction 
that  will  be  done  outside  the  gate  on 
Arkadelphia.

Meal  Ticket  Drudgery 

Changes  in  the  Food  System 

By 

Vickie  VanValkenberg 


Some  people  would  be  surprised  to 
discover  that  the  most  important 
place  for  social  interaction  at  BSC  is 
not  a  fraternity  house  or  a  sorority 
chapter  room  or  even  the  dorms.  When 
most  students  want  to  see  a  lot  of  peo- 
ple, they  go  to  the  cafeteria  in  Suavely 
Student  Center.  The  cafeteria  here  is 
far  more  than  a  place  to  eat  (in  fact, 
some  would  argue  that  this  is  its  secon- 
dary purpose). 

It  is  the  place  students  go  to  catch  up 
with  what  is  going  on,  to  see  friends 
after  spending  two  or  three  days  in 
study-hibernation  for  a  test,  and  to  just 
drink  some  coffee,  read  the  newspaper, 
and  make  small  talk  with  passers-by. 
Regardless  of  where  or  with  whom  a 
student  sits  his  main  purpose  is  prob- 
ably to  see  a  lot  of  people  he  would 
otherwise  loose  touch  with,  and  to  just 
keep  up  with  what  goes  on. 

While  all  of  this  is  important,  the 
food  also  deserves  a  few  words  here. 
The  food  in  the  BSC  cafeteria, 
snackbar,  student  store  is  prepared  by 
Shamrock  food  services  and  is  distrib- 
uted on  a  one-punch,  one-meal  ticket 
basis,  with  21,  14,  and  10  meal  per 
week  meal  tickets  available.  Both  the 
food  and  the  meal  ticket  system  have 
long  been  subjects  of  controversy 
among  the  students. 

Many  students  complain  about  the 
quality  of  the  food,  but  the  meal  ticket 
system  is  the  center  of  even  more 
complaints  and  controversy.  Students 
must  buy  meal  tickets,  unless  they  have 
medical  problems  the  food  service  can- 
not deal  with,  and  many  beheve  the 
prices  are  too  high.  Even  more 
controversial  is  the  relative  closeness  in 
price  of  the  10,  14,  and  21  meal  tickets, 
which  are  $695,  $730,  $775,  respective- 
ly. 

This,  coupled  with  the  apparent  stu- 
dent dissatisfaction  with  the  food,  re- 
sult in  the  periodic  bubbling  up  of  con- 
troversy, which  usually  appears  in 
newspaper  articles  and  SGA  action 
such  as  the  SGA  food  committee 


surveys  and  its  actions  last  year. 

Food  Services  director  Mike  Flory 
defends  the  quality  of  the  food  saying, 
"The  vegetables  are  frozen — they're 
top  of  the  line,  we  have  quality  roast 
beef,  the  chicken  is  Holly  Farms,  and 
the  ham  is  Oscar  Meyer."  Flory  be- 
lieves that  for  most  students,  the  BSC 
dining  experience  is  made  less  enjoy- 
able not  by  low  food  quality,  but  by  the 
environment  in  the  cafeteria,  pointing 
out  noise  and  dirty  tables  as  the  main 
culprits. 

Flory  also  stresses  that  students  input 
is  sought  through  the  taste  testing  com- 
mittee, which  is  open  to  all  students, 
and  through  the  comment  cards,  the 
comment-booth  in  the  cafeteria,  and 
through  work  with  the  SGA  food  com- 
mittee. He  also  defends  the  meal  ticket 
system,  saying,  "The  school  is  obligated 
to  provide  food  service  and  we  must 
have  so  many  on  the  plan  to  support 
it." 

BSC  Vice  President  for  Financial 
Affairs  Rob  Moxley  also  defends  the 
cafeteria  food  and  the  system,  saying, 
"Mike  Flory  and  his  people  do  a  very 
good  job,  I  wish  they  were  appreciated 
more."  Also,  responding  to  the  student 
complaints  about  the  administration's 
closed  mouthedness  on  food  budget 
matters,  he  says,  "We  don't  release 
budget-figures  on  anything.  That's  the 
way  we've  been  working  since  I've 
been  here.  It's  a  general  guideline  of 
operations." 

Two  changes  in  the  food  system  that 
students  are  able  to  applaud,  however, 
are  the  advent  of  the  10  meal  ticket  this 
year  and  the  new  program  by  which 
students  may  buy  items  in  the  campus 
store  with  their  meal  tickets.  The  later 
program  was  started  during  the  1986 
interim  term. 

This  campus  store  program  has  been 
one  of  the  most  popular  actions  the  col- 
lege has  taken  in  food  service  in  recent 
times.  According  to  Moxley,  around 
1700  punches  (valued  at  $2.50]  are  be- 
ing used  to  buy  food  in  the  campus 


After  a  night  of  cod  crispies  and 
stuffed  green  peppers  in  the 
cafeteria,  students  such  as  Eilen 
Koppersmith  head  to  the 
Campus  Store  for  chicJjen  strips 
and  onion  rings.

has  "been  much  greater  than  we  antici- 
pated." He  also  indicated  that  the  ad- 
ministration would  seek  to  economize 
in  the  campus  store  next  year  as  this 
program  continues. 

Still  the  controversy  over  the  food 
system  goes  on,  and  probably  will  con- 
tinue for  some  time.  There  is  hope, 
with  greater  input  through  the  taste 
testing  committees,  comment  cards,  and 
even  appealing  to  interested  SGA 
members,  perhaps  students  may  be 
able  to  make  more  of  the  changes  they 
desire  in  the  food  service  program.  [\|

No  Place  Like  Home? 

Spring  Fever  Takes  Its  Toll 


By 

Jennifer  Howard  and  Carla 
Higgins 


I've  been  up  30  hours  and  12  minutes. 
Sleep  creeps  towards  my  frontal  lobe. 
I  have  no  energy  left.  I  am  completely 
brain-dead.  It  was  a  long  trip  back 
from  Phillips  and  my  mid-term.  I  might 
have  passed. 

The  only  thing  on  my  mind  now  is 
the  beach  . . .  my  friends  knock  on  the 
door  of  my  room.  "Yo,"  I  respond. 
Having  had  no  sleep,  "Come  in  please" 
was  the  last  thing  on  my  mind.  "Are 
you  ready?"  they  ask,  beachtowels  and 
cooler  in  hand.  "I  was  born  ready,"  I 
managed  to  utter.  "I  thought  you  were 
born  to  shop."  "Yeah,  I  was,  but  now 
I'm  ready  to  flop  ...  on  the  beach." 

Moments  later,  eight  cylinders  of  wa- 
ter-cooled engine  burst  forth  power  as 
we  sped  (figuratively,  of  course)  down 
the  interstate  loaded  with  my  dearest 
friends  in  the  world.  It's  unbelievable 
how  eight  such  intelligent,  indepen- 
dent, diverse  women  can  get  along  so 
well  together. 

"Let's  listen  to  my  Barry  Manilow 
tape,"  a  small  voice  squeaked  from  the 
back  seat.  "Are  you  kidding?"  I  hate  it 
when  she  bears  such  a  resemblence  to 


Rebecca  of  Sunnybrook  farm.  "I'm 
definitely  feeling  more  like  some 
Springsteen,"  I  said  with  authority, 
sitting  in  the  middle  of  the  front  seat, 
tape  deck  just  inches  from  me.  "Well, 
it's  my  car  and  I  feel  our  voyage  calls 
for  a  little  Journey.  Get  it?  Voyage, 
Journey,  isn't  that  funny!"  Hilarious,  I 
thought.  Well,  a  little  compromise 
wasn't  going  to  kill  me.  After  all,  we 
were  headed  to  heaven  on  earth. 

Hours  later,  at  our  beautiful  home 
for  the  next  6  days,  we  toasted  to  our 
week  of  fun  and  togetherness.  It  was  a 
solemn  and  memorable  moment.  In  the 
days  to  follow,  however,  solemn  and 
memorable  were  concepts  of  the  past. 
Thoughts  of  papers,  tests,  and  mainte- 
nance requests  faded  and  occasionally 
so  did  my  undying  admiration  and  af- 
fection for  these  self-centered,  selfish, 
immature.  Geek-watching  girls  with 
whom  I  was  spending  my  vacation. 

In  the  end,  however,  when  push 
came  to  shove  (and  it  did),  these  were 
the  people  with  whom  I  chose  to  party. 
I  guess  they're  okay.  After  all— Life's  a 
Beach!  [%]

Dorm  Room  Diary 


Notes  on  a  Cubicle 


By 


Lucy  Tatman 


Dear  Diary,  9/3 
Well,  it's  the  first  day  of  school 
and  I  think  I  remembered  all  my  stuff. 
At  least  it  looks  that  way!  You  know, 
these  dorm  rooms  look  bigger  in  the 
catalogue  than  in  real  life.  I  hope  my 
roommate  gets  here  soon.  Wonder  what 
she'll  be  like?  I  guess  it  doesn't 
matter— Anything  will  be  better  than 
my  sister.  Oh  diary,  I  can't  believe  I'm 
really  free!!!! 
Dear  Diary,  9/5 

Things  are  going  ok,  but  I  was  wrong, 
I  am  not  free.  There  are  all  these  really 
old,  mature  students  called  R.A.'s  wan- 
dering around,  checking  on  us  every 
ten  minutes.  Really,  I'm  afraid  to  blow 
my  nose  too  loudly — I  swear  they'll  try 
to  send  me  to  the  hospital.  Other  than 
that  the  rest  of  the  girls  on  my  hall  are 
great,  except  my  roommate.  I  wish  I 
had  my  sister  back.  Or  at  least  movable 
furniture.  Oh  well,  bye. 
Dear  Diary,  10/12 

I  know  it's  been  a  while,  but  I  have 
been  sooo  busy.  First  of  all,  oh  my  God, 
my  roommate!!  Imagine  if  you  will  four 
Cabbage  Patch  dolls  spread  across  a 
smurf  bedspread,  over  which  hang 
three  posters  and  I  have  tried  and  tried 
to  do  something  sooo  awful  she'll  go 
home  forever,  but  alas,  to  no  avail. 
(Don't  you  love  that  last  phrase,  I 
learned  it  in  English  102).  Oh,  can  we 
talk  bathrooms?  I  can  understand  stall 


toilets  and  stall  showers,  but  as  you 
know  I  am  NOT  a  gymnast  and  this 
shower  nozzle  at  the  collar  bone  bit  has 
got  to  go.  Maybe  next  year  I'll  get  to 
live  in  Goodwin,  with  real  bathtubs. 
What  heaven.  Check  ya  diary. 
Dear  Diary  10/20 

Somehow,  how  I  do  NOT  know, 
she's  gotten  a  boyfriend.  And  not  only 
has  he  seen  the  collection  of  C.P.  dolls, 
he  apparently  doesn't  mind  snuggling 
up  with  them— every  night  until  thirty 
seconds  until  option  is  over.  Gag!  Yikes! 
Boy!  This  has  got  to  stop.  Oh!  I  didn't 
explain  about  option,  did  I?  Well,  it's 
this  really  stupid  system  for  insuring 
the  safety  of  our  chastity  or  something 
like  that.  All  the  guys  have  to  leave  at  a 
specific  time  or  risk  the  loss  of  life  and 
limb.  Well,  I  have  just  enough  time  to 
get  to  the  Tide  before  the  Tuesday 
special  ends.  Ta  ta!! 
Dear  Diary  5/20 

I  can't  beheve  the  year  is  almost 
over.  I'm  going  to  miss  this  extra-long 
bed  that  normal  sheets  don't  fit  on,  I 
really  am.  Guess  what?  Next  year,  I'm 
going  to  have  a  really  great  roommate. 
This  years  failed  out!  Tee  Hee!  (I  think 
it's  because  her  boyfriend  dumped  her 
for  another  girl — you  know  even 
though  he  thinks  Cabbage  Patch  dolls 
are  alright,  he's  really  a  cutie!!!  Tee 
Hee!)  Well,  gotta  run,  diary!!  Gotta 
Date!  Tee  Hee  Tee  Hee.  [v]

Our  Window  to  the  Outside  World 

« 

By 


Tom  Doggett 


Every  Monday  morning  at  10:25  the 
pilgrimage  begins.  A  glass-eyed  line 
of  scholars,  who  hunger  for  communi- 
cation with  the  outside  world,  flows 
through  Snavely  and  up  the  stair  unit 
finally  reaching  the  entrance  of  the 
temple. 

With  a  reverence,  each  student  pro- 
ceeds to  his  special  pew.  Turn  right  to 
A.  Back  left  to  CD.  Turn  right  to  F. 
Open  (after  two  unsuccessful  tries). 
Reach  in.  Pull  out!  Chapel  at  6:00  an- 
nouncement; red  BMOC  Calender;  and 
Rocky's  pizza  coupons. 

"I'm  so  sick  of  damn  junk  mail!  Oh 
God,  please  make  somebody  out  there 
write  me,"  scream  the  unfortunates 
who  have  been  forgotten  again.  But 
wait,  maybe  there  is  still  hope. 

An  inquiry  to  postmaster,  Charles 
Lesley,  only  confirms  that  the  night- 
mare is  true.  "Yes,  all  the  mail  is  out 
and  you  didn't  get  any."  All  that  is  left 
to  do  is  search,  in  the  trash  can  for  oth- 


er persons  hometown  newspapers  and 
magazine  subscription  offers. 

There  is  joy  among  the  sad  at  the 
post  office.  Holiday  cards  and  the  im- 
portant care  packages  from  home 
containing  chocalate  chip  cookies, 
brownies,  and  banana  bread  are  a  sign 
that  somebody  out  there  remembers 
you. 

The  post  office  also  serves  as  a 
meeting  place.  You  bump  into  people 
you  haven't  seen  all  week  and  catch  up 
on  what's  been  going  on  around 
campus. 

If  you  are  standing  close  enough  to 
Student  Affairs,  while  reading  your 
mail,  chances  are  you'll  be  invited  over 
to  join  in  one  of  their  famous  popcorn 
breaks.  Of  course,  if  you  don't  get  any 
junk  mail,  care  packages,  meet 
anybody,  or  receive  an  invitation  for 
popcorn,  you  can  always  expect  a  smile 
and  hello  from  Charles,  p^

A  Campus  Favorite 


The  Old  Gym 


By 


John  Manser 


Ranging  from  the  most  feminine 
dancer  to  the  meanest  looking 
weight  hfter,  the  Old  Gym  runs  the 
gamut  on  the  types  of  students  who 
walk  through  its  double  doors.  Whether 
you  want  to  take  it  easy  and  shoot  a  lit- 
tle pool  or  push  your  body  to  the  max 
with  game  after  gruehng  game  of  three- 
on-three,  the  gym  is  a  great  way  of  re- 
leasing any  tension  that  invariable  ac- 
cumulates during  the  day  to  day  life  of 
a  student. 

Adding  to  the  atmosphere  of  friendly 
competition  and  athletic  endeavor  is 
the  extremely  likable  staff  who  make 
sure  that  the  gym  does  not  turn  into  a 
madhouse.  They  include  Miss  Lee, 
with  her  unforgettable  personality, 
Bert,  who  is  ever  helpful,  and  Mike, 
the  director/coordinator  of  all  athletics 
on  campus  and  also  a  darn  nice  guy. 
Any  one  of  the  four  will  greet  you  with 
a  smile  as  you  show  them  your  ID  and 
madly  rush  to  the  sport  of  your  choos- 
ing. 

The  building  houses  a  weight  lifting 
facihty  with  everything  from  an  incline 
bench  press  seat  and  a  curling  machine 
to  a  squat  rack  and  dumbells.  Three 
ping  pong  tables,  and  two  billiard  ta- 
bles populate  the  central  ground  level 
room  along  with  the  men's  and  wom- 
en's intramural  bulletin  boards  that  let 
all  who  walk  in  know  the  up  to  date  re- 
port on  all  the  fraternities,  sororities, 
and  independents.  Hidden  away  in  the 
back  recesses  of  the  first  floor,  an  in- 
door heated  pool  complete  with  flota- 
tion devices,  a  lifeguard,  and  a  diving 


board  have  been  assembled.  Also, 
Nurse  Cherry's  office  has  been  moved 
to  this  floor  of  the  gym. 

Moving  up  to  the  second  floor  of  the 
gym,  one  finds  the  full  length  basket- 
ball court  on  which  some  of  'Southern's 
closest  fought  victories  were  witnessed 
before  the  building  of  Bill  Battle.  It  is 
now  the  major  hot  spot  for  the  develop- 
ing Dr.  I's  and  Larry  Birds  here  on 
campus.  Six  backboards  surround  the 
court  allowing  for  any  combination  of 
games  such  as  Horse  or  Hustle,  for  two 
or  three  people,  to  full  court  run-and- 
gun  offense  and  man-to-man  or  zone 
defenses.  It  has  also  been  used  for 
baseball,  soccer,  and  cheerleader  prac- 
tice as  well  as  the  Fillies'  try-outs 
(which  I  was  happy  to  see). 

Up  one  more  flight  of  stairs,  you'll 
find  the  dance  studios  outfitted  with  pi- 
anos, bars,  and  mirrors  to  help  the  stu- 
dents hone  their  craft.  Two  racquetball 
courts  are  also  found  here  just  ready 
for  your  singles  or  doubles  enjoyment. 

The  Old  Gym  is  also  the  hub  of  the 
intramurals  department  co-ordinated 
by  Mike  Robinson.  Group  contests  such 
as  volleyball  and  basketball  use  the  fa- 
cility as  well  as  more  one-on-one  sports 
like  ping-pong,  billiards,  and 
racquetball. 

The  Old  Gym  is  more  than  just  an 
old  building,  it  has  become  a  good 
friend  to  many  students  who  need  the 
chance  to  get  away  from  the  rigors  of 
school  life  and  want  to  flex  their  phys- 
ical capabilities,  p^

Body  Perfect 


Jane  Fonda  Is  Alive  and  Kicking 


By 


Cari  Gisler  &  Jay  McKinney 


*  *  ^^  k!  Let's  get  those  legs  up!  Work 
^^  that  body!  Make  it  burn  baby!" 
Yes,  Birmingham-Southern  College  has 
caught  that  fitness  fever.  A  day  doesn't 
pass  that  an  excursion  to  the  gym  won't 
find  you  surrounded  with  the  sounds 
and  smells  of  the  physically  active. 
Women  in  leotards  and  tights,  men  in 
sweats  and  muscle  shirts,  all  with  the 
same  goal  of  creating  muscle  tissue 
from  flab.  Leg  lifts  to  Lauper  and  toe 
touches  to  Thompson  Twins  makes  a 
strange  hybrid  of  drudge  and  disco. 
Some  actually  seem  to  enjoy  it,  but 
most  do  not.  However,  they  endure  the 
rigorous  workout  because  "pain  is 
gain." 

The  drive  for  better  bodies  doesn't 
necessarily  end  at  the  gym.  It  continues 
on  the  academic  quad,  the  dorm  circle, 
and  in  the  dorms  themselves.  Activities 
from  jogging  to  frisbee  allow  the  stu- 
dents to  enjoy  the  fresh  air  (depending 
on  WBRC's  air  quality'  report).  Occa- 
sionally a  professor  will  even  join  in  on 
the  "fun".  Professors  and  students  can 
be  seen  running  side  by  side,  Walkmen 
clipped  to  their  clothes,  and  the  strains 
of  Mozart  and  Dire  Straits  mingling  in 
the  air.  The  harmony  is  wonderful. 

Of  course  we  exercise!  But  at  what 
cost.  Inches  melt  away,  but  at  a  rate 
totally  inversely  proportional  to  the 
ever  escaping  paycheck.  In  today's  so- 
cially oriented  society  (not  B-SC  of 
course)  the  proper  aerobic  apparel  is  a 
must.  A  few  of  the  extremely  naive 
contend  that  gym  shorts  and  a  T-shirt 
are  sufficient.  Excuse  me!  Pink  Tofu! 
Never  allow  yourself  to  fall  prey  to  this 
gastly  misconception.  To  do  so  would 
be— oh  so  gauche.  To  not  spend  half  of 
your  savings  account  to  achieve  the 
proper  style  would  be  an  unforgivable 
faux-pas. 

A  Danskin  leotard  with  color  coordi- 
nated tights  are  the  basics,  and  will  put 


you  well  on  your  way  to  "proper 
aerobic/health  fashion."  Next,  add  a 
pair  of  les  warmers  (all  cotton)  ar- 
ranged precisely  aroimd  the  ankles, 
matching  head  and  wrist  bands,  not  to 
forget  a  pair  of  leather  Reeboks,  and 
you're  in  the  money  for  sure.  If  the 
simple  fact  of  being  vogue  is  not 
enough  for  you  to  whip  out  Daddy's 
"Gold  Card,  remember  this.  Once  you 
achieve  "the  look"  you  can  go  straight 
from  that  grueling  workout  to  a 
hopping  night  on  the  town.  A  side  note 
to  you  fashion  buffs  is  the  growing 
acceptance  of  stirrup-pants,  but  do  be 
careful  not  to  wear  out  the  look. 

If  you  lack  the  proper  build  to 
achieve  the  look,  you're  over  your 
credit  limit,  or  if  the  State  Grant  checks 
are  late  again,  don't  write  home  to 
mummy  &  daddy  yet.  Who  needs 
aerobics  to  keep  in  shape?  Our  dear 
alma  mater  who  caters  to  our  intellect 
has  not  failed  to  consider  our  physique 
as  well.  We  have  Munger,  where  any- 
one who  has  ever  had  an  8:00  class  on 
the  third  floor  knows  the  wall  of  pain 
personally.  Also  with  our  bodies  in 
mind  the  elevators  were  designed  to 
be,  not  slow  but  leisurely.  Most  of  us 
can  get  at  least  200%  of  the  U.S.  RDA 
of  exercise  by  simply  walking  to  our 
rooms  high  atop  Goodwin  or  New 
Men's.  Perhaps  the  best  exercise  we 
can  get  is  the  mad  sprint  from  a  1:00  T, 
Th  class  to  the  2:30  T,Th  class.  The  four 
minute  mile  is  easily  broken  when  the 
wrath  of  Don  Dixon  is  hanging  over 
your  head.  I  know! 

Despite  all  we  do  for  our  bodies, 
about  nine  o'clock,  the  need  for  phys- 
ical excellence  comes  to  a  screeching 
halt.  All  of  our  aspiring  Jane  Fondas 
and  Arnold  Schwatzenaggers  converge 
on  the  campus  store  for  fries,  chicken 
fingers  and— oh  yes — a  jumbo  Diet

Flirting  With  Danger 

A  Macabre  Look  At  The  Library 


By 


Tom  Doggett 


The  Charles  Andrew  Rush  Learning 
Center  (ahas  the  hbrary)  is  the  nerve 
center  of  intellectual  thought  and 
scholarly  work  at  Birmingham-South- 
ern College.  Well  at  least  its  suppose  to 
be. 

The  statistics  are  impressive  though: 
152,070  books,  8,250  microfilms,  842 
journals,  2,693  recordings  and  cassettes. 

Of  course,  all  these  valuable  re- 
sources are  protected  by  the  infamous 
security  bar.  Anyone  trying  the  sneak 
by  without  getting  demagnetized  first, 
will  suffer  the  consequences,  which  are 
unknown,  because  nobody  has  ever 
lived  to  describe  them. 
THE  LIBRARY  BASEMENT  "Tales 
from  the  Dark  Side" 

Have  you  ever  wondered  why  the 
bottom  floor  of  the  library  is  half  the 
size  of  the  other  two  floors. 

Just  what  is  on  the  other  side  of  those 
government  documents  downstairs. 
Well,  a  peak  through  the  door  located 
by  the  atlases  in  the  corner  reveals  a 
world  of  the  past. 

Few  have  dared  to  enter  the  "em- 
ployee's only"  door  and  those  who 
have  are  strangely  silent  about  their  ex- 
periences. However,  word  has  it  that  it 
is  in  the  library  basement  that  you  can 
find  National  Geographies  from  the 
1930's  (the  "playboy"  of  our  father's 
day),  old  'Southern  trophys  for 
unknown  honors,  study  desks  and  card 
catalogs  from  the  old  library  when  it 
was  in  Phillips  Administration,  and 
even  a  1928  La  Revue  (later  changed  to 
the  'Southern  Accent).  Also  located 
here  are  tons  of  records  and  books  that 
haven't  been  processed  yet. 

What  do  we  do  with  our  new  found 
knowledge?  Nothing. 


SUNDAY 
Student:  The  copier  is  out  of  long  pa- 
per. Could  you  please  give  me

Work-study:  Sure.  Oh,  I'm  sorry.  There

didn't  put  enough  out  for 
the  weekend  and  the  rest 
is  locked  up  behind  the 
cage. 
Student:  I'll  try  again  tomorrow. 

MONDAY 
Student:    How    long   has    that    person 

been  copying. 
Work-study:  I  don't  know,  he  was  here 

when  my  shift  began. 
Student:  I'll  try  again  tomorrow.

you  have.

Student:  I'll  try  again  tomorrow.

Dorm  Watchers 


A  Hunter's  Guide 


By 


Kris  Hull 


Dorm  watching  . . .  what  is  that,  a 
hobby  Hke  bird  watching  or  cloud 
watching  or  even  the  lesser  known 
practice  of  bug  watching?  No,  it's  a 
paying,  part-time  career  here  on  the 
hilltop.  Nevertheless,  dorm  watching  is 
a  noteable  phenomena  worthy  of  study. 
In  fact,  I've  rather  made  a  hobby  out  of 
dorm  watch-watching.  My  observations 
are  as  follows: 
The  habitat 

Dorm  watchers  are  a  strange  species. 
They  are  all  male;  how  that  is  possible 
I  am  not  sure,  but  it  may  be  a  deter- 
mining factor  in  the  dorm  watchers 
equally  odd  habitat.  They  can  only  be 
found,  usually  seated  although  some- 
times reclining,  in  the  entry  ways  of  the 
female  dorm. 
The  behavior 

Dorm  watchers  exhibit  a  number  of 
behaviors.  They  can  eat.  They  can 
smoke.  They  can  watch  T.V.  They  can 
even  speculate  on  who  is  visiting  whom 
in  the  female  dorm  and  why  upon 
exiting,  his  oxford  shirt  is  buttoned  in- 
correctly. The  dorm  watcher  is  wise. 
He  protects  the  virtue  of  young  ladies 
by  ushering  out  moral  dilemmas  (gen- 
tleman callers)  at  the  hour  of  indiscre- 
tion. (Funny,  no  dorm  watchers  inhabit 
Hanson.) 
The  irregularity 


Inspite  of  the  good,  which  are  the 
dorm  watchers  deeds,  dorm  watchers 
are  irregular.  They  nest  dutifully  before 
Margaret  Daniels  and  Virginia 
Goodwin,  but  they  are  most  dutiful  on 
weeknights.  In  fact  I've  yet  to  observe  a 
dorm  watcher  perched  on  a  Friday  or 
Saturday.  And  another  irregularity  is 
that  their  shifts  do  not  last  into  the  wee 
hours,  but  only  until  about  midnight. 
This  is  peculiar  because  I  think  that  a 
dorm  watcher  would  have  a  greater  op- 
portunity to  gnab  rapists,  boyfriends, 
burglars,  and  Sandinista  terrorists  after 
two  most  evenings.  But  stranger  still  is 
that  these  important  watch  guards  of 
female  virtue  are  unarmed.  Yes,  of 
course,  one  might  hurl  his  color  T.V.  at 
a  suspect  or  peg  him  with  a  stream  of 
tobacco  juice,  but  that's  asking  a  lot 
from  the  call  of  duty. 

No,  my  scientific  opinion  is  that  con- 
sidering the  dangers  and  stresses  of 
these  nightly  rituals,  the  typical  dorm 
watcher  is  just  too  vulnerable,  too  easy 
a  target  to  make  it  in  the  modern 
world.  That's  why  I  predict  that  these 
cute  little  fellas  will  soon  be  extinct, 
wiped  off  the  face  of  the  campus  never 
to  be  seen  again  ...  at  least  I  hope  so. 
Rifles  loaded,  ladies?  Ready,  aim, 
fire,   fvl

Easy  money.  Chris  Barker  is  a 
work  study  in  Margaret-Daniels 
where  he  works  hard  to  guard 
the  honour  of  woman. 

Ron  Berry  maximizes  his  time 
dorm  watching  by  catciung-up 
on  some  over  due  homework. 


The  women's  dorms  on  campus 
have  nothing  but  the  tightest  se- 
curity. This  sign  is  a  warning  to 
ali  who  think  about  taking  their 
favorite  shortcut  to  escape  the 
wrath  of  an  angry  Resident  Ad- 
visor. 

Fringe  benefits.  Sophomore  Ron 
Berry  feeis  that  there  is  more  to 
dorm  watching  than  simply 
"guarding"  the  door.  He  makes 
it  a  point  to  greet  the  residents 
as  they  return  home.

ONE  COUPON  PER  PIZZA 


:j 


It's  not  the  parties,  or  the  people,  or 
even  Ms.  Jimmy  that  keep  B-SG  stu- 
dents ahve — it's  those  Rocky's  men  and 
women  who  travel  through  rain,  sleet, 
or  snow,  who  battle  the  dangerous 
highways  and  byways  of  Birmingham 
to  deliver  thousands  of  sometimes  deli- 
cious, circular  Italian  pies  (called  piz- 
zas], 

Rocky's  has  been  an  asset  to  the  B- 
SC  curriculum  for  many  long  years. 
The  ever-present  doorknob  coupons 
make  the  escape  from  Shamrock's 
grasp  just  that  more  attainable.  These 
coupons  give  you  from  one  to  three 
dollars  off  any  pizza  or  sandwich  or 
two  free  drinks  with  any  order.  These 
few  dollars  saved  can  be  combined  to 
enhance  your  next  visit  to  the  "Tide"  or 
"Touchdown."  Also  the  late-night 
accessibihty  of  a  Rocky's  pizza  make 
those  "all-nighters"  a  party. 

Hey,  the  quality  of  the  pies  is  pretty 
good  too.  You  can  tell  this  by  walking 
by  any  dorm  hall's  trash  can  and  ob- 
serving the  many  familiar  white  and 
blue  Rocky's  boxes  discarded 
there — and  never  with  a  lonely,  cold 
piece  left.  It's  even  good  for  breakfast 
the  next  morning,  and  nutritious  too! 


Depending  on  the  order,  all  of  the  food 
groups  may  be  represented — even  B- 
SC  students  need  their  "vegies."  This 
makes  Rocky's  one  of  Mom's  favorites 
too.  One  note  of  warning  however,  it 
has  been  experienced  by  many  a  fresh- 
men that  too  many  pizzas  can  put  an 
extra  roll  in  your  stomach  or  an  extra 
dimple  in  your  thigh. 

All  in  all  Rocky's  is  a  saviour.  Life  on 
the  Hilltop  just  would  not  be  the  same 
without  those  faithful  delivery  people 
and  their  trusty  little  cars  topped  with 
those  electric  signs.  They  bring  thou- 
sand and  thousands  of  pizzas  that  just 
seem  to  brighten  up  students'  lives. 
Gloomy  nights  seem  to  be  clear  and  ro- 
mantic, dirty  laundry  just  disappears, 
that  paper  due  in  six  hours — really 
doesn't  seem  to  be  that  important 
anymore.  With  a  Rocky's  pizza  at  hand, 
you  have  the  world  at  your  feet! 

Oh  the  luxury  of  those  pies!  Extra 
cheese,  pepperoni,  italian  sausage, 
green  peppers,  black  olives,  mush- 
rooms, onions,  and  gosh — those  ancho- 
vies get  you  every  time.  So  if  you  are 
ever  in  need,  just  give  Rocky's  a  call. 
They  know  how  to  fix  you  up — just 
fine.  K\

Birmingham-Southern  College. 


The  Masters  Program 


An  Innovative  Opportunity  for  Growtm 


By 


The  'Southern  Accent  staff  and  MPPM  personnel 


In  1982,  Birmingham-Southern  College 
began  the  Master  of  Arts  in  Public 
and  Private  Management  program  with 
an  enrollment  of  20  students.  Since  its 
incarnation,  the  MPPM  program's  stu- 
dent body  has  rapidly  increased,  re- 
porting 67  students  in  the  Fall  term  of 
1984.  BSC's  two-year  program  was 
modled  after  similar  graduate  programs 
at  Stanford  and  Yale  and  was  designed 
to  meet  the  demands  of  modern 
management.  The  Masters  program 
provides  an  opportunity  for  currently 
employed  persons  in  mid-level  or  ex- 
ecutive level  positions  to  keep  up  with 
the  ever  changing  business  world. 

Candidates  for  the  Masters  degree 
program  are  highly  motivated  individ- 
uals who  share  a  desire  for  challenge 
and  a  dedication  to  their  field.  The 
program  allows  students  to  obtain  a  de- 
gree within  two  years  through  a  multi- 
disciplinary  format  involving  business, 
economics,  education,  humanities, 
philosophy,  political  science,  and  psy- 
chology. 

Students  are  required  to  participate 
in  five  general  modules:  Interdisciplin- 


ary Module,  Basic  Disciplines  Module, 
Cultural/Ethics  Module,  and  Area  of 
Concentration.  All  of  these  modules 
help  in  the  preparation  for  advance- 
ment. 

The  Masters  program  has  a 
distinguished  faculty  with  a  wide  range 
of  interests.  Curriculum  consists  of 
seminars  and  lectures  and  innovative 
teaching  techniques  such  as  team 
projects  and  group  work.  Richard  H. 
Collins,  Senior  Vice-President  of 
SouthTrust  Bank  states  that,  "Although 
standards  are  high  and  courses  chal- 
lenging, the  instructors  are  a  constant 
source  of  encouragement.  The  MPPM 
program  has  no  equal  in  our  local 
area."  Consensus  among  the  students 
in  the  program  is  that  the  diversity 
within  the  faculty  and  student  body 
provides  the  program  with  a  highly 
professional  and  academic  foundation. 

As  well  as  emphasising  the  funda- 
mental managerial  problems,  the 
Masters  program  is  dedicated  to  influ- 
encing the  community  on  the  whole. 
With  time,  the  program  should  achieve 
this  goal.  [^

Philip  Bohannon 


For  most  of  us,  life  has  been  fairly 
well  planned.  Elementary  school 
had  Kickball  and  Orange-Aid.  Junior 
High  arrived  with  too  much  makeup, 
impossible  parents,  and  puberty.  Then 
High  School  brought  us  Driver's  Ed, 
Algebra  One,  and  more  puberty.  But  all 
of  it  was,  well,  expected  of  us.  Though 
we  experienced  some  choice  in  select- 
ing a  college,  and  some  freedom  in  es- 
tablishing our  lifestyle  here,  mostly  we 
just  drifted.  Until  now. 

Being  a  senior  is  not  a  matter  of 
credits,  it's  a  matter  of  freedom.  Soon, 
our  lives  will  be  entirely  our  responsi- 
bility; we  won't  even  need  our  advi- 
sor's signature.  This  freedom  has  ap- 
peared in  form  of  life-questions:  Will  I 


have  a  job?  Will  I  get  into  medical 
school?  Do  I  want  to  stay  in  Alabama? 
The  South?  The  USA?  What  sort  of 
lifestyle  will  I  choose?  What  sort  of 
person  will  I  become?  Pretty  scarry, 
huh?  One  consolation:  puberty  will  be 
over  soon. 

Many  scenes  from  'Southern  have 
become  part  of  us:  walking  with 
concentration  up  from  fraternity  row; 
walking  with  fear  and  a  blue  book  to 
class;  waiting,  famished,  for  a  car  with 
"Rooky's"  on  the  roof  to  appear  outside 
the  dorm.  These  things  we  have 
shared,  not  to  mention  our  troubles, 
fears,  laughter,  thoughts,  and  occasion- 
ally dates.  Many  people  have  been  im- 
portant to  us;  giving  proper  credit  to  the 


teachers  and  friends  who  have  shaped 
our  lives  would  require  an  NBC  mini- 
series,  minimum.  In  fact,  I've  often  felt 
that  lives  here  intersect  like  a  campus- 
wide  square  dance:  "Swing  your 
partner,  round  you  go,  now  pass  her 
on,  doe-si-doe!" 

So  girls  and  boys  —  er,  excuse 
me — women  and  men,  off  we  go  into 
that  rather  large  thing  known  as  Ameri- 
can Society.  And,  taking  our  place  as 
Yuppies,  we  will  do  our  best  to 
consume  everything  we  can  possibly 
afford.  Or  perhaps,  using  our  brand- 
new  liberal  arts  education,  we  can  be- 
come successful  in  a  different  way. 
How?  Well  now,  that's  up  to  us,  isn't  it? 

See  y'all  on  Alumni  Day.  [\]

Why  Labs? 


They're  Required! 


By 


Joanie  Stiff 


*< Isn't  lab  fun?!"  After  four  years 
I  here  at  BSC,  each  of  us  has  the  joy 
of  experiencing  a  lab  of  some  kind. 
The  real  excitement  is  that  courses 
labeled  as  lab  sciences  seem  to  abound 
here.  The  choices  are  fun  as  well. 

Biology  labs  give  you  the  chance  to 
look  at  Paramecium  under  a 
microscope  only  to  be  reminded  of  the 
squiggly  things  on  the  Saniflush 
commercial.  They  also  give  you  the 
chance  to  disect  FeJix  domestica;  only 
to  realize  too  late  that  the  puss  your 
slicing  up  looks  just  hke  your  grand- 
mother's cat. 

If  Biology  doesn't  seem  to  be  your  fa- 
vorite, maybe  Astronomy  can  help  that 
G.P.A.  Dr.  Boardman  will  get  out  the 
trusty  telescope  and  let  you  see  the 
moon  (while  a  plane  flies  into  view.) 
Then  you  can  sit  in  the  planatarium 
and  stare  at  the  stars  and  maybe  (just 
maybe)  figure  out  where  the  North  Star 
and  the  big  dipper  really  are.  psl

Hilltop  Holidays 

By 

E.  Scrooge  and  the  Grinch 


Season's  Greetings!  Happy  Easter! 
Be  my  Valentine!  and  Boo!  Once 
again  the  holiday  season  ensues  and 
we  are  forced  to  deal  with  it.  The 
polling  booth  is  invaded  by  pretty  girls 
peddling  some  sort  of  catchy  product. 
Well,  that  brings  one  question  to 
mind — which  holiday  is  this  particular 
gimmick  commemorating?  No  student 
need  worry  about  finding  that  special 
gift  for  the  hard  to  buy  when  holidays 
are  fast  approaching.  Every  holiday  is 
remembered  by  some  campus  organiz- 
ations pushing  some  sort  of  product  to

The  library  can  be  an  entertain- 
ing study  niche  for  those  who 
dare  to  try  it. 


Books,  books,  books!  All  we  see 
around  here  is  books!  The  average 
class  has  approximately  two  books  and 
at  least  one  of  them  is  inevitably  a 
hardback  one.  The  money  we  sink  into 
our  books  is  incredible! 

The  time  we  spend  reading  them  is 
even  more  unrealistic.  With  a  full  class 
load  (not  to  mention  labs)  we  are 
reading  somewhere  from  120-150  pages 
of  primary  text  material  a  day.  Then 
we  must  move  to  the  Charles  Andrew 
Rush  Learning  Center  so  that  we  can 
read  the  secondary  materials  on 


reserve.  As  it  stands,  we  have  little 
enough  time  to  read  our  assignments, 
let  alone  comprehend  them.  pZ]

Study 
Breaks? 

Time  Management  101 

By 

Michelle  McFarland 


Oh  come  now.  Don't  play  dumb 
with  me.  You  know  what  study 
breaks  are.  They're  an  institution  ...  a 
way  of  life  for  B-SC  students.  They're 
what  you  do  all  day  until  you  can  find 
nothing  better  to  do,  until  you  finally 
resort  to  studying. 

Study  breaks  can  take  the  form  of 
any  number  of  activities  from  the 
mundane  to  the  daring.  They  can  be 
anything  from  making  a  sandwich,  tak- 
ing a  walk,  listening  to  music,  doing 
your  laundry,  getting  married  and  start- 
ing a  family,  to  building  a  corporate 


Jeff  Bennett  heads  for  the  Old 
Gym  to  take  advantage  of  a 
study  "break"  with  the  help  of  a 
pool  cue.

empire.  It  is  amazing  what  one  can  do 
between  classes  and  studying. 

Of  course  there  are  those  wierdos 
that  actually  study  non-stop  and  make 
good  grades.  But  for  the  most  part  B-SC 
students  take  twelve  hours  of  consecu- 
tive study  breaks  per  day  and  still  come 
up  with  a  3.0  each  semester. 

Study  Breaks  are  not  to  be  taken 
lightly,  mind  you.  After  all,  they 
constitute  the  bulk  of  the  normal  stu- 
dents' day.  Maybe  that's  why  we  make 
them  as  creative  and  worthwhile  as 
possible!  [\]

The  Panthers 

A  Different  Side 


By 


Sharon  Lynch 


John  London's  hat  says  it  all  about 
this  year's  Panther  basketball  team: 
Panthers — We  Bad.  The  Panthers  un- 
der Coach  Joe  Dean  once  again  put  to- 
gether a  sterling  season.  However,  the 
real  success  of  the  BSC  basketball 
program  is  show^n  off  the  courts. 

Here  three  players,  Jody  Jacobs,  John 
London,  and  Allen  Love  "mug"  for  the 
camera  as  part  of  a  Homecoming  week 
fundraiser.  Alpha  Chi  Omega  sorority 
held  the  basketball  players  for  ransom 
to  raise  money  for  their  national 
charity. 


Three  of  our  Panthers  say  "stick 
'em  up"  for  National  Charities. 
On  or  off  the  court,  the  team  is 
"Bad",  and  good  at  it.

Taking  time  out  of  homecoming 
week  to  help  fellow  students  help  oth- 
ers and  having  a  good  time  doing  it  is 
an  example  of  the  sense  of  humor  and 
spirit  of  giving  that  characterize  this 
team.  This  sense  of  humor  comes 
through  on  the  court  as  well  as  adding 
to  the  fun  of  attending  a  game. 

The  spirit  of  giving  and  the  responsi- 
bility shown  by  BSC  basketball  players 
is  reflected  in  their  accomplishments 
off  the  court.  In  times  of  continuing 
trouble  and  scandal  in  college  athletics, 
Southern  has  a  program  that  produces 


athletes  that  are  interested  in  an 
education.

Dollars  and  Quarters 


By 


Cari  Gisler 


For  a  student,  the  decision  to  have  a 
phone  installed  in  the  dorm  room  is 
a  grave  one.  The  luxury  of  having  a 
private  telephone  must  be  weighed 
against  the  inconveniance  of  the  instal- 
lation fee  (which  can  run  approximat- 
ely $60).  Add  on  the  friendly  monthly 
phone  bill  ranging  from  $40  to  as  high 
as  $150,  and  the  25$  per  call  on  a  pay 
phone  gets  less  and  less  annoying. 

There  are  other  factors  that  may  in- 
fluence the  selection.  Students  must 
take  into  consideration  that  2:00  a.m. 
knock  on  the  door  from  the  jerk  down 
the  hall  who  can't  find  a  quarter  and 
was  wondering  if  (you  wouldn't  mind  if 
I  borrowed  your  phone".  However,  if 
you  are  one  of  the  precious  few  that 
opted  not  to  go  for  the  private  phone, 
you  must  deal  with  the  50  yard  dash 
down  the  hall  towards  an  incessantly 
ringing  telephone  only  to  hear  a  dial 
tone  . . .  what  fun.  Kl

Adult 
Studies 


By 


Vicki  VanValkenburgh 


An  important_part  of  the  academic 
life  here  at  Birmingham  Southern 
College  is  the  Division  of  Adult  Stud- 
ies. Now  entering  its  tenth  year,  the  Di- 
vision has  grown  to  include  over  350 
students  who  have  four  majors  to 
choose  from— Business  Administration, 
Economics,  Accounting,  and  Early 
Childhood  and  Elementary  Education. 
One  reason  for  the  strength  of  the 
Division  of  Adult  Studies  is  the  dedica- 
tion of  its  staff.  Headed  by  Dr.  Jeff 
Norrell,  the  staff  works  actively  to 
recruit  students  and  encourage  them  in 
their  return  to  the  classroom.  Prospec- 
tive student  receive  telephone  calls  and 
invitations  to  open  houses  as  well  as 
mailings  about  the  program.  Then,  once 
in  the  program,  students  may  obtain 
coimseling  whenever  they  need  it  from 
the  staff. 

For  many  prospective  students,  the 
idea  of  returning  to  the  classroom  after 
years  away  from  the  academics  scene 
is  a  little  frightening,  so  the  Divison  has 
reponded  with  its  own  kind  of  Fresh- 
man Seminar.  Students  get  back  into 
the  old  routine  of  taking  notes,  writing 
papers  and  other  such  features  of  aca- 
demic life.

In  the  same  vein  as  this  Freshman 
Seminar  program  is  the  Wednesday 
College  program  of  the  Adult  Studies 
Division.  It  is  designed  for  women  who 
want  to  go  back  to  school  a  step  at  a 
time.  They  attend  a  two  and  a  half 
hour  class  on  Wednesday  morning  or 
afternoon  and  earn  credit  in  regular 
BSC  courses. 

Such  programs  as  these  as  well  as 
competent  staff  show  that  adult  studies 
stands  on  its  own  as  a  strong  and  sepa- 
rate division. 

This  is  also  visible  in  the  fact  that 


adult  studies  has  its  own  orientation 
programs,  newsletters,  parties,  and 
even  its  own  seat  on  the  SGA  as  well 
as  numerous  adult-oriented  services 
offered  by  the  college. 

Even  so,  a  strong  emphasis  lies  on 
the  fact  that  adult  studies  is  academi- 
cally identical  to  the  day  program.  For 
instance,  admission  requirements  are 
the  same,  with  a  few  small  exceptions 
for  those  who  have  been  out  for  longer 
periods  of  time.  In  addition  class  re- 
quirements are  the  same  in  both  divi- 
sions for  graduation  and  for  the  various 


majors.  It  is  important  to  the  staff,  the 
students,  and  the  college  that  the 
quality  of  education  is  uniform,  since 
many  adult  students  choose  to  come  to 
BSC  because  of  its  excellent  reputation. 

To  also  keep  the  level  of  progress 
identical  to  the  day  program  the  aca- 
demic calendar  of  the  Division  of  Adult 
Services  is  broken  up  into  four  semes- 
ters, with  a  full  load  being  2  units. 
Therefore,  if  they  attend  classes  year- 
round,  students  receive  eight  units  of 
credit,  just  as  the  day  student  would. 

A  special  opportunity  the  college  of-

fers  its  staff  is  tuition  remission  for  1 
unit  each  term,  an  opportunity  many 
BSC  employees  take  advantage  of.  One 
members  of  the  financial  aid  staff, 
Suzanne  Bush,  has  begun  to  work  to- 
ward a  degree  in  the  adult  studies 
program  "I  am  so  glad  to  have  this  op- 
portunity," she  says.  "Everybody  is  so 
eager  to  learn — they  give  100%  all  the 
time.  It's  hard  work,  but  it  will  be 
worth  it  in  the  long  run."  Joanne  Min- 
er,   another   BSC   staff   member,    also 


finds  this  program  a  wonderful  oppor- 
tunity, and  enjoys  her  classes.  "The 
adult  students  are  doing  this  because 
they  want  to.  Everyone  is  eager  to 
learn." 

These  are  ambitious  students  who  re- 
turn to  the  classroom,  often  while  also 
upholding  work,  family,  and  communi- 
ty responsibilities.  They  are  special 
people  who  add  something  special  to

WhaVo  the  next  move? 


Moments  after  lift-off,  the 
Challenger  exploded.  The  ex- 
plosion was  the  first  in-fJight  di- 
saster in  56  U.S.  manned  space 
missions.  Tfie  two  spirals  of 
smoke  in  the  photograph  are  the 
shuttie's  rocliet  boosters.  NASA 
officials  originally  believed  that 
the  boosters  were  the  cause  of 
the  explosion,  but  now  they  are 


When  the  team  was  assigned  to  de- 
sign and  build  the  Apollo  11  the 
first  manned  spacecraft  to  the  moon, 
thousands  of  ordinary  men  and  wom- 
en— project  managers,  secretaries,  tech- 
nicians— suddenly  became  super- 
achievers  who  were  doing  the  best 
work  of  their  lives.  The  manager  of  that 
team,  after  it  had  gone  from  the  bottom 
50%  in  productivity  to  the  top  15%, 
once  pointed  to  the  moon  and  told  his 
assistant,  "The  reason  we're  doing  so 
well  is  that  people  have  been  dreaming 
about  going  there  for  thousands  of 
years,  and  we're  going  to  do  it." 

On  January  8  of  this  year,  the  dream 
of  mankind  on  the  moon  and  space 
flight  in  general  was  tested  as  seven 
members  of  the  Shuttle  Challenger 
died  moments  after  it  took  off.  Those 
seven  astronauts  dreamt  of  going  into 
space,  and  they  died  fulfilling  the  same 
dream  that  had  inspired  the  members 
of  the  first  Apollo  team.  After  Neil 
Armstrong  took  man's  first  step  on  the 
moon,  and  after  the  first  U.S.  shuttle, 
Columbia,  made  its  orbital  test  flight, 
the  dream  to  be  in  space  never  died  or 
became  less  intense.  It  is  unsure  now 
whether  or  not  that  dream  will  fade 
after  a  disaster  such  as  the  Challenger. 

Recently  NASA  and  America's  space 
program  have  come  under  heavy  fire 
for  the  Challenger  tragedy  and  three 
successive  missile  failures.  Hopefully 
the  intensity  and  drive  for  space  flight 
will  not  fade  as  a  result.  Columbia's 
triumphant  reentry  and  return  five 
years  ago  marked  the  beginning  of  a 
new  era  for  the  United  States  in  the 
space  age.  As  astronaut  Robert 
Crippen,  upon  emerging  from  Colum- 
bia, put  it,  the  U.S.  was  "back  in  the 
space  business  to  stay." 

In  the  wake  of  the  Challenger 


tragedy,  people  mourned  the  death  of 
the  astronauts  and  were  shocked  out  of 
the  idea  the  space  program  was 
infallible.  The  space  program  has, 
admittedly,  stubbed  its  toe— and  fell 
flat  on  its  face.  But  President  Reagan 
told  the  nation  exactly  right,  "Nothing 
ends  here." 

Whatever  the  causes  of  the 
Challenger  disaster  and  NASA's  re- 
peated failures  of  late,  one  conclusion 
is  clear.  The  U.S.,  for  whatever 
reasons,  cannot  pull  back  from  space. 
We  can't  afford  to  be  gun-shy. 

We  get  back  up,  remember  those 
who  gave  their  lives  for  the  sake  of 
their  dream — the  nation's  dream — and 
we  begin  again.  Nothing  ends  here 


The  Challenger— 233 


A  truck  bomb  exploded  in  front  of 
the  U.S.  Embassy  in  Beirut  on 
April  18,  1983;  17  Americans  were 
killed.  On  October  3,  of  the  same  year, 
241  U.S.  servicemen  were  killed  when 
a  truck  bomb  exploded  at  the  U.S.  Ma- 
rine headquarters  in  Beirut. 

An  Italian  cruise  liner,  the  Achille 
Lauro,  was  hijacked  on  October  7,  1985 
by  four  Palestinian  terrorists;  one 
American  passenger  was  killed. 

On  December  27,  1985,  20  people,  in- 
cluding 5  Americans,  were  killed  when 
terrorists  attacked  the  airports  at  Rome 
and  Vienna. 

On  April  5,  1986,  a  bomb  exploded  in 
a  crowded  West  Berlin  discotheque 
frequented  by  American  servicemen. 
Two  people,  one  an  American  soldier, 
were  killed.  Another  155  people  were 
injured. 

These  and  other  incidents  illustrate 
the  rising  amounts  of  violence  and  ter- 
rorism prevalent  in  our  world  today. 
Recently,  the  focus  of  international  ter- 
rorism has  been  centered  on  Libya's 
Moammar  Khadafy,  and  his  role  in  fos- 
tering these  events. 

In  an  effort  to  curb  these  acts  of  vio- 
lence. President  Reagan  imposed  eco- 
nomic sanctions  against  Libya,  an  act 
that  many  other  countries  did  not  fol- 
low. On  January  7,  1986,  President 
Reagan  ordered  all  Americans  to  leave 
Libya,  and  severed  the  remaining  eco- 
nomic ties  between  the  U.S.  and  Libya. 
At  the  same  time,  he  ordered  U.S.  air- 
craft carrier  groups  into  the 
Mediterranean,  off  the  coast  of  Libya. 

Monday,  April  15,  1986,  the  United 
States  conducted  a  bombing  raid  on  the 
Libyan  capital  of  Tripoli,  as  well  as 
other  Libyan  targets.  President  Reagan, 
in  a  speech  informing  the  American 
public  of  the  raid,  cited  proof  of  Libya's 
involvement  in  current  world  terror- 
ism. 


The  American  raid  on  Libya  has 
been  a  very  controversial  subject, 
perhaps  the  most  controversial  of  the 
President's  two  terms  of  office.  Emo- 
tions have  ranged  from  pride  to 
sadness  to  fear.  Americans  seem  proud 
that  we  are  not  standing  idly  by  while 
groups  of  fanatics  hold  the  world 
hostage;  we  feel  sad  at  the  deaths  of  in- 
nocent people,  both  through  terrorist 
acts  and  retaliatory  raids;  we  are  afraid 
of  entering  another  Viet  Nam  type  war 
and  increased  terrorism  as  a  retaliatory 
measure. 

Perhaps,  in  a  sense,  international 
politics  has  entered  a  new  phase, 
where  power  is  wielded  by  those  that 
can  induce  people  to  kill  innocent 
bystanders  in  an  attempt  to  pressure 
the  older  style  of  international  rela- 
tions; that  of  war. 


The  Lq  BeiJe  discotheque  after 
the  explosion  of  a  powerful 
bomb  that  killed  2.  Speculation 
on  responsibility  has  led  to  Lib- 
ya, but  is  still  undetermined.

of  the  plant's  atomic  reactors.

President  Reagan  and  Soviet 
Jeader  MiJihail  Gorbachev 
taJked  in  front  of  a  fireplace  at 
FJeur  D'Eau  in  November.  Rela- 
tions between  the  two  are  now 
strained. 


On  March  11,  1985,  the  Central 
Committee  of  the  Commimist  Par- 
ty announced  Mikhail  Gorbachev  as 
the  new  General  Secretary  of  the  Sovi- 
et Union.  His  promotion  marked  the 
beginning  of  Soviet  leadership  by  the 
"New  Generation."  Gorbachev  and  the 
new  generation  gave  most  Westerners 
the  initial  impression  of  the  Soviet 
Union  backing  away  from  paranoia 
and  absurd  claims  that  have  kept  it  iso- 
lated for  at  least  six  decades.  But  many 
Soviet  experts  are  now  questioning  the 
actual  impact  this  new  generation  is 
having  on  Soviet  policy. 

Despite  the  times  of  tension  between 
the  United  States  and  Soviet  Union, 
with  Reagan  deeming  the  Soviet  Union 
as  the  "Evil  Empire"  and  Gorbachev 
eager  to  compete  for  the  favor  of  the 


allies  of  the  U.S.,  the  two  leaders  were 
able  to  come  together  in  November, 
1985,  for  a  series  of  fireside  chats  to 
discuss  future  relations  between  the 
two  powers.  Both  sides  have  agreed  to 
encourage  cultural  and  student  ex- 
changes. For  the  first  time  in  many 
years,  Soviet  Aeroflot  planes  are 
allowed  to  land  in  U.S.  airports  and 
American  music,  dance,  and  drama 
groups  are  touring  throughout  the 
USSR  while  their  Soviet  counterparts 
are  performing  in  cities  across  the  U.S. 
Relations  seem  to  be  improving 
between  the  countries,  however 
problematical  accounts  of  secrecy  and 
misunderstanding  continue  to  be 
evidenced  among  the  two  super-pow- 
ers. 

The  most  recent  and  widely  exper- 
ienced example  of  secrecy  occurred  as 
a  result  of  the  April  26  Chernobyl  acci- 
dent. Just  80  miles  away  from  Kiev,  the 
third  largest  city  in  the  Soviet  Union, 
Unit  No.  4,  one  of  Chernobyl's  nuclear 
power  plant  reactors,  caught  fire  and 
exploded  causing  one  of  the  worst 
nuclear  disasters  in  history.  It  was  not 
until  18  days  after  the  accident  that 
Gorbachev  disclosed  the  news  to  the 
rest  of  the  world.  This  secretive  behav- 
ior about  something  affecting  many 
others  than  just  the  Soviets  incensed 
leaders  and  citizens  alike  throughout 
the  world. 

According  to  the  Soviet  officials,  a 
sudden  surge  of  power  in  the  plant  was 
followed  by  a  devastating  hydrogen 
blast  which  caused  a  fire  in  one  of  the 
reactors,  leading  to  the  release  of  a 
cloud  of  radiation.  It  was  this  cloud 
that  sparked  international  fear  and 
revived  anti-nuclear  movements  across 
the  globe.  Many  believe  that 
Chernobyl  is  a  clear  indicator  of  the 
secrecy  and  misrepresentation  which 
can  be  expected  from  the  Soviets  and 


can  only  fear  what  would  result  in  the 
event  of  a  nuclear  weapon  accident. 

Added  to  the  political  fallout  of 
Chernobyl  was  President  Reagan's  an- 
nouncement on  June  3,  1986,  that  the 
United  States  would  continue  to  com- 
ply with  the  SALT  II  treaty  for  the  mo- 
ment by  dismantling  two  Poseidon 
missile  firing  submarines  to  make  way 
for  a  newly  launched  Trident  Sub,  but 
it  would  also  continue  equipping  B-52 
bombers  with  cruise  missiles  at  a  rate 
that  will  break  the  limits  of  SALT  II  by 
December.  This  main  shift  in  U.S.  poli- 
cy was  made  in  response,  as  Reagan's 
officials  have  said,  to  a  pattern  of  treaty 
violations  by  the  Soviets.  Most  U.S.  al- 
lies disapprove  of  this  new  policy,  es- 
pecially those  of  Western  Europe.  The 
Reagan  Administration  has  expressed 
that  it  is  no  longer  a  relevant  factor 
whether  the  U.S.  is  technically  in 
compliance  with  SALT  or  not.  From 
now  on,  U.S.  security  requirements  will 
be  the  only  concern.  The  U.S.  will  de- 
cide its  arms  policy  on  Soviet  behavior, 
including  human  rights  violations  and 
actions  in  Afghanistan,  Nicaragua,  and 
Cambodia.  Ironically,  the  second  Gene- 
va summit  between  Reagan  and 
Gorbachev  has  been  proposed  for 
December. 


Tho  U.S.  and  USSR  Rolationo

Soviet  Union— 237 


This  has  been  a  bad  year  for  most 
people  around  the  world.  We  in 
America  are  fortunate  that  we  have  not 
experienced  the  devastation  of  multiple 
earthquakes,  volcanic  eruptions  in  pop- 
ulated areas,  or  mudslides.  These 
events  have  had  major  impacts  on  oth- 
er countries  in  the  last  two  years. 

Mexico  City  suffered  a  quake  regis- 
tering 7.8  on  the  Richter  scale  last  Sep- 
tember. On  top  of  Mexico's  better  than 
50%  unemployment  and  its  spiraling 
inflation,  the  disaster  has  proportions 
that  still  have  not  been  assessed. 

The  town  of  Mameyes,  in  Puerto 
Rico,  was  buried  under  mud  in  a 
mudslide  that  came  after  three  days  of 
rain.  After  the  slide,  the  mud  turned  so 
hard  that  rescue  workers  could  not  dig 
out  the  bodies. 

Another  mudflow  buried  a  town  in 
Colombia.  The  town  of  Armero  was 
buried  as  a  result  of  an  eruption  of  the 
volcano  Nevado  de  Ruiz.  Almost  the 
entire  town  of  25,000  lost  their  lives. 

America  has  not  been  without  its  di- 
sasters, however.  A  Lockheed  L-1011 
crashed  at  the  Dallas  airport,  due  to 
wind-shear.  The  crash  happened  dur- 
ing a  severe  thunderstorm,  killing  more 
than  130  people. 

Another  major  accident  in  the  U.S. 
was  the  explosion  of  the  space  shuttle 
Challenger.  This  event,  coupled  with 
explosions  of  some  of  NASA's  un- 
manned backup  rockets,  has  effectively 
halted  America's  space  program  tempo- 
rarily. 

One  of  the  worst  disasters  to  happen 
this  year,  the  worst  accident  in  the 
nuclear  industry,  was  the  partial  melt 
down  of  a  Soviet  reactor  at  Chernobyl. 
The  accident  spilled  radioactivity  into 
the  air  and  across  international 
borders,  causing  some  people,  for  the 
first  time,  to  realize  the  danger  that  can 
be  associated  with  nuclear  industry,  es- 


pecially the  long  lasting  effects  of 
radioactivity  and  its  complete  disregard 
for  nationality. 

The  nuclear  industry  is  not  the  only 
high-tech  industry  to  have  problems. 
More  than  2000  people  were  killed, 
and  over  10,000  were  injured  when  a 
Union  Carbide  chemical  storage  tank 
blew  up  in  Bhopal,  India.  The  explo- 
sion released  a  cloud  of  lethally  toxic 
methyl-isocyante  over  the  shanty-town 
surrounding  the  chemical  plant,  and 
spread  to  the  city  proper. 

The  chemical  industry  has  been 
plagued  recently  with  problems  that 
have  been  in  the  making  for  more  than 
30  years.  Hazardous  chemical  waste 
dump  sites  are  being  found  with 
increasing  regularity.  Love  Canal  is 
such  a  situation,  but  by  no  means  the 
only  one.  The  nuclear  industry  is  facing 
a  similiar  problem  with  contaminated 
waste  and  spent  fuel,  which  can  re- 
main dangerous  to  humans  for  tens  of 
thousands  of  years. 

These  problems  produced  by  our 
technologically  increased  society  can 
lead  to  disasters  of  a  much  greater 
magnitude  than  natural  disasters,  due 
to  their  comparably  longer  range  of 
effects  on  the  environment.  [\]

Halley's  comet  was  indeed 
visible  in  AJabama.  This  piclure 
was  taJten  in  North  SiieJby 
County  on  March  17. 


«  *\A/here  the  hell  is  it?" 

YY  'I  don't  know.  Oh!  Is  that  it?" 
"No  you  fool  That's  the  red  light  on  the 
Channel  13  Tower," 
"Go  ask  that  guy  over  there." 
"Which  one?" 

"The  one  with  the  6  foot  telescope." 
"Oh,  you  mean  the  one  looking  in  the 
opposite  direction  that  we  are?" 
"Yes,  that's  the  one." 
"Oh,  Okay." 

"Well,  what  did  he  say?" 
"He  said  that  Larry  Nobles  said  it  was 
supposed  to  be  next  to  the  constellation 
Centarus." 

"Well  where  the  hell  is  that?" 
"I  guess  next  to  the  comet." 

So  go  the  scientific  observations  of 
two  faithful  followers  of  Halley's  Com- 
et. They  were  a  small  part  of  the  uni- 
versal many  who  readied  themselves 
for  the  arrival  of  Halley.  The  latest  in- 
formation on  the  comet  was  gathered 
by  subscribing  to  Science  and  Sky  and 
Telescope  magazines  and  by  watching 
"Star  Hustler"  weeknights  at  11:00  p.m. 
on  PBS. 

Just  about  everybody  tried  at  least 
once  to  spot  the  comet — to  get  a  view  of 
that  marvelous  tail  streaking  across  the 
heavens.  Beginning  in  November  the 
comet  grew  from  a  small  fuzz  ball  until 
its  height  at  its  closest  point  to  Earth  on 
April  6,  when  it  appeared  as  a  giant 
fuzz  ball  only  a  mere  39  million  miles 
away. 

Of  course  the  view  from  the  city 
wasn't  that  great  for  viewing  a  fuzz 
ball.  The  lights  and  pollution  blocked 
out  just  about  anything  celestial.  An 
exodus  to  the  country  was  needed.  The 
best  place  to  view  the  comet  was  at 
roadside  park  on  280  past  Lloyd's 
restaurant  in  Shelby  county.  On  an 
average  night  there  were  about  100 
people  looking  for  the  dot  in  the  sky. 
There  were  families  with  crying  babies; 


left-over  hippies  playing  "Aquarius"  on 
harmonicas;  and  many  "professional" 
junior  astronomers  who  moaned  when 
a  carlight  obstructed  their  vision.  On 
that  early  magical  morning  of  April  6th, 
about  1000  people  showed  up. 

At  'Southern,  comet  pools  were 
formed  to  take  people  to  see  Halley. 
The  planetarium  was  jumpin'  with 
standing  programs  on  the  comet.  Dr. 
Boardman  had  a  constant  smile  on  his 
face  for  six  months. 

The  comet  may  not  have  turned  out 
as  promising  as  advertised.  The  tail,  if 
there  ever  was  one  may  have  been  a 
little  too  short,  and  those  reports  of 
"you  can  see  it  with  the  naked  eye" 
may  have  been  slightly  misleading,  but 
Halley's  comet  was  still  the  event  of  a 
lifetime. 

All  those  kids  who  found  Halley 
Telescopes  under  the  tree  on  Christmas 
morning  can  pull  them  back  out  in 
2062,  when  comet  Halley  returns.

On  September  31,  1986,  an  event 
took  place  that  affected  the  entire 
college-age  population  across  the  U.S. 
This  certain  event  placed  a  pronounced 
limit  upon  leisure-time  activities;  in  ad- 
dition, it  caused  and  is  still  causing  this 
age  group  undue  stress  due  not  only  to 
the  limit  mentioned  above  also  due  to 
the  frustrating  search  for  new  socially, 
politically,  and  legally  acceptable  activ- 
ities. The  event  to  which  reference  is 
being  made  concerns  the  raising  of  the 
national  drinking  age  from  19  to  21 
years  old. 

So,  at  the  age  of  19,  a  young  man  can 
drive  a  car,  vote,  get  marled,  be 
drafted,  and  is  legally  considered  an 
adult.  The  logical  assumption  follows 
that  this  responsibility  extends  to 
alcohol  consumption;  however,  this  is 
no  longer  true! 

In  the  under  35  crowd,  the  general 
attitude  is  "let's  get  wasted"  not  "shall 
we  have  a  cocktail  this  evening."  In  the 
South,  the  traditional  Southerners 
totally  detest  the  thought  of  poisoning 
the  mind  and  body  with  alcohol  while 
they  sit  back  on  their  plantation 
porches  sipping  mint  juleps  or 
mimosas.  The  rednecks  are  rather 
"gung-ho"  when  it  comes  to  finishing 
that  bottle  of  Jack  Daniels.  But  the  new 
law  doesn't  effect  the  mint  juleps  or  the 
Jack  Daniels  because  mint  juleps  are 
for  sophisticates  and  Jack  can  be  gotten 
by  just  about  anyone.  The  real  effect 
will  be  felt  by  the  new  "under  age" 
college  crowd.  By  the  time  the  class  of 
'89  graduates  from  college,  very  few  le- 
gal drinkers  will  be  on  campus.  The 
image  painted  by  movies  such  as  Ani- 
mal House,  depict  the  typical  college 
student  as  a  commode-hugging  drunk. 
College  students  really  do  not  fall  into 
this  stereotype  (at  least  not  all  the  dme). 
By  1989,  what  are  college  students 
going  to  drink?  Kool-aid?  "Hey,  Kool- 


aid  is  the  one  for  kids!"  is  not  exactly 
what  we  had  in  mind.  The  future 
doctors  and  lawyers  of  the  1990's  will 
have  to  look  up  the  word  "hangover"  in 
Webster's  Dictionary  in  order  to  know 
what  it  is.  When  these  students  are  es- 
tablished, they  will  probably  come 
home  and  ask  their  husband  or  wife, 
"honey,  can  you  mix  me  a  strong 
pitcher  of  grape  juice — I  have  had  a 
bad  day." 

Times  have  changed.  Right  now  the 
college  student  is  caught  in  a  transition- 
al period  between  the  mint  julep  of  the 
past  and  the  Kool-aid  of  the  future. 
How  are  they  going  to  cope?  With  the 
raising  of  the  drinking  age,  could  the 
government  be  causing  excessive 
psychological  problems  in  the  "guiding 
lights"  of  our  future?  That  question 
remains  to  be  answered.  FvTl

On  Thursday,  March  13,  1986, 
Quest  II  sponsored  the  first  ever 
Gubernatorial  Forum  at  Birmingham- 
Southern  College.  It  is  hoped  that  the 
forum  will  become  a  regular  event.  All 
five  of  the  major  candidates  were  re- 
presented including  frontrunning  Lt. 
Governor  Bill  Baxley;  Billy  Joe  Camp, 
Governor  Wallace's  press  secretary 
since  1971;  Attorney  General  Charlie 
Graddick;  and  former  Lt.  Governor 
George  McMillan.  The  fifth  candidate, 
former  Governor  Fob  James,  could  not 
attend  the  forum  but  was  represented 
by  Don  Bryant. 

Before  the  forum  got  off  the  ground, 
there  was  much  discussion  about  how 
the  discussion  should  be  structured.  Al- 
though the  original  idea  for  the  forum 
suggested  a  less  formal  meeting 
between  the  candidates  and  students, 
the  final  product  was  not  only  formal, 
but  also  very  much  a  media  event.  Not 
only  was  the  event  well  covered  by  lo- 
cal print  and  electronic  media,  but 
rather  than  having  any  questions  come 
from  students,  3  TV  newspersons — Re- 
nee  Kemp,  Scott  Richards,  and  Norman 
Lumpkin — directed  questions  to  the 
candidates.  Each  panelist  asked  the 
same  question  5  times,  once  to  each 
candidate.  Three  minutes  were  allowed 
for  response.  Natalie  Davis  served  as 
monitor  of  the  discussion. 

The  quality  of  the  discourse  was  very 
much  limited  by  this  formal  structure. 
Because  no  debate  between  candidates 
and  students  was  permitted,  responses 
often  became  little  more  than  the  ver- 
balizing of  political  positions  that  they 
had  already  stated.  Because  of  struc- 
ture, the  forum  lacked  useful  political 
discussion. 

In  defense  of  the  forum's  structure. 
Trey  Granger,  Quest  II  coordinator, 
said  in  the  Hilltop  News,  "There  was 
no  way  to  allow  students  to  ask  ques- 


tions." According  to  Granger,  efficiency 
dictated  the  forum.  According  to  the 
same  article,  Dean  Penfield  suggested 
that  opening  the  discussion  to  students 
would  have  been  a  productive  move. 
He  said,  "We  should  have  gone  around 
the  panel  and  opened  it  up  for  the  stu- 
dents—that would  have  been  fun." 

However,  for  the  students  who  at- 
tended, the  first  Gubernatorial  Forum 
provided  a  unique  opportunity  to  famil- 
iarize themselves  with  the  candidates' 
platforms,  to  compare  their  positions 
and  personalities,  and  to  gather  infor- 
mation with  which  to  cast  a  more  in- 
formed vote.  The  fact  that  the  forum 
took  place  at  all  is  an  accomplishment 
that  all  involved  should  be  proud 
of.Kl 


Guhernatorial  Forum — 245 


Chicago  Bears'  Jim  McMahon 
and  kicker  Kevin  Butler  on  the 
sideiines  of  the  Super  Bowl  XX 
against  the  New  England  Patri- 
ots. 


In  the  world  of  sports,  the  Kansas  City 
Royals,  the  Chicago  Bears  and  the 
Boston  Celtics  were  the  teams  to  watch 
and  try  to  beat.  Each  team  won  the 
championship  in  their  respective  fields. 
The  school  year  started  with  the 
baseball  playoffs.  St.  Louis  and  Kansas 
City  won  the  right  to  compete  in  the 
World  Series.  Kansas  City  got  off  on  a 
slow  start  by  losing  three  of  the  first 
four  games.  No  team  had  ever  come 
back  and  won  the  World  Series  after 
being  down  three  games  to  one.  But 
Kansas  City  became  the  first.  Behind 
strong  pitching  and  clutch  hitting,  the 
Royals  defeated  St.  Louis  three  straight 
games  to  win  the  series  4-3. 

The  most  outstanding  individual 
achievement  of  the  year  was  Pete  Rose 
becoming  the  All-Time  leading  hitter. 
He  passed  Ty  Cobb's  record  of  over 
4000  hits.  He  also  became  the 
Cincinatti  Reds'  player-manager.  Un- 
der his  supervision,  the  Reds  improved 
from  fifth  to  second  in  their  division. 

In  football,  the  Chicago  Bears  were 
the  team  to  watch.  The  Bears  not  only 
won  the  Super  Bowl,  but  they  complet- 
ed the  regular  season  with  only  one 
loss.  They  will  go  down  in  history  as 
one  of  the  greatest  teams  ever. 

The  stars  for  the  Bears  were  Walter 
Payton,  Jim  McMahon  (famous  for  his 


notorious  headbands),  and  William 
"the  Refrigerator"  Perry.  Peyton 
showed  why  he  is  the  leading  rusher  in 
NFL  history  with  another  1000  yard 
season.  McMahon  drew  laughs  from 
everyone  with  his  crazy  headbands. 
After  being  fined  for  wearing  a  head- 
band with  an  endorsement,  he 
proceeded  to  wear  a  headband  with 
commissioner  Pete  Rozelle's  name  on 
it.  In  the  Super  Bowl  he  wore  head- 
bands for  charitable  causes  drawing 
applause  from  his  fans.  William  Perry 
became  a  star  when  Chicago  made  him 
the  first  300  pound  running  back.  Al- 
though he  was  used  only  in  short 
yardage  situations,  he  won  the  hearts  of 
everyone. 

The  85-86  basketball  season  was  a 
record  year  for  the  Boston  Celtics.  They 
only  lost  one  home  game  while 
winning  over  80  games  for  the  year. 
They  defeated  the  Houston  Rockets 
four  games  to  one  in  the  championship 
series.  They  were  led  by  Larry  Bird 
who  won  his  third  straight  MVP  award 
and  led  his  team  in  scoring.  The  Celtics 
now  have  17  championships  which  is 
more  than  any  other  team. 

On  the  whole,  sports  enthusiasts  will 
concur  that  the  1985-86  year  in  sports 
held  as  much  drama,  humor,  and 
excitement  as  anyone  could  hope  for.

Editor's  Notes 


few  words  about  this  past  y«iir  nr«  in  onlnr  Wo  hnvn 
k  worked  very  hard  for  nint;  monlhn  undor  sometimes 
adverse  conditions.  Stuff  chnnfjns.  the  extremn  luck  of  stuff, 
and  occasionitt  apathy  made  working  on  the  hook  difficult  at 
times,  but  in  the  end,  we  wore  excited  at  each  new  idea. 

On  a  lighter  side,  this  year's  decision  to  move  to  a  co- 
editorship  (as  op|H>sed  to  an  editor/assistant  editor  arrange- 
ment) could  not  have  worked  better.  Despite  |ay's  near  fa- 
natical need  to  clean,  make  lists,  and  organize  everything, 
we  worked  quite  well  together.  Delween  the  two  of  us,  I 
believe  that  we  have  succeeded  in  giving  Hirmingham 
Southern  a  very  artistic  and  entertaining  yearbook. 

Sincerely.

SOA  we  managed  to  get  the  money.  As  for  the  attitude,  I 
guess  that  is  for  each  of  you  to  a.ssess. 

You  will  notice  right-off  that  the  l)ook  is  different  from 
past  hooks.  We  have  tried  to  create  a  yearbmik  that  B8C  can 
finally  he  proud  to  display.  We  have  tried  to  predict  the  fu- 
ture by  covering  only  those  events  which  (xissessed  the 
importance  to  withstand  the  test  of  lime.  1  think  we  have 
a(;hieved  our  purjxise  and  ho(>e  you  will  agree. 

I  would  like  to  express  a  special  thanks  to  each  of  you 
who  made  this  Southern  Accent  iKissible.  Use  this  hook  for 
the  purpose  intended.  Times  change,  people  change,  and 
memories  fade  away,  but  with  this  yearbook  you  can  prove 
to  your  friends  that  "You  went  to  one  of  the  Nation's  Best!" 

Mave  a  great  life! 

lav  E.  McKinney
