At  Augusta  College,  many 
events  took  place  that  made 
this  year  different  from  the 
year  before,  but  there  will 
always  be  those  little  things, 
parking  for  instance,  that 
never  change. 


DIFFERED 


Augusta  College  is  an  institu- 
tion that  is  constantly  in  a  changing 
mode.  Being  a  commuter  college, 
students  come  and  go  quarter  after 
quarter.  However,  students  were 
not  the  only  difference  this  year. 
Augusta  College  inherited  a  new 
acting  president.  Dr.  Martha  Farmer, 
after  the  death  of  former  president. 
Dr.  Richard  S.  Wallace. 


Students  and  faculty  had  to 
work  around  new  budget  cuts.  Fac- 
ulty had  a  "helping  hand"  when 
student  government  initiated  an  In- 
House  volunteer  service. 

Students  and  faculty  took  in- 
terest in  improving  our  campus  by 
campaigning  for  recycling  aware- 
ness, alcohol  awareness,  and  safe- 
sex  promotion.    Augusta  College

also  remained  an  alcohol-free  cam- 
pus prohibiting  alcohol  at  any  cam- 
pus functions. 

Students  and  faculty  had  to 
wait  a  few  more  weeks  before  head- 
ing out  for  spring  break  which  was 
moved  to  Masters  Week.  With  all 
these  different  changes  through  the 
year,  Augusta  College  may  look  the 
samebutinitsown  way...  different.

every  event  at  Augusta  Col- 
lege made  a  difference  to  the 
students  and  faculty.

■i\ 


mmma 


According  to  the  purists  of  the 
calendar,  the  new  decade  truly  began 
in  1991.  The  year  1991  was  full  of  the 
best  and  worst  of  times.  These  events 
are  what  made  the  difference  from  the 
year  before  and  no  other  year  can 
claim  them. 

Just  when  the  chimes  of  free- 
dom were  ringing  in  the  Soviet  Union, 
the  Kremlin  and  Gorbechov's  empire 
crumbled  to  his  feet;  dividing  the  coun- 
try along  with  its  people. 

On  the  homefront,  Americans 
were  finally  shifting  back  to  a  more 
serene  state  after  being  caught  in  the 
middle  of  war  halfway  across  the 
world. 

But  it  was  one  of  America's 
most  prestigious  athlete's  admittance 
to  the  HIV  virus  that  can  lead  to  AIDS, 
that  woke  up  America.  Magic  John- 
son opened  our  eyes  to  the  fact  that 
this  deadly  virus  can  occur  to  anyone. 

Sexual  harassment  took  a  front- 
row  seat  in  congress  when  Professor 
Anita  1  li  11  poured  out  charges  against 
Clarence  Thomas. 


As  if  to  turn  away  from  their 
troubles  even  for  a  mere  glimpse,  the 
world  focused  its  attention  on  one  of 
the  most  unforgettable  World  Series. 
For  those  of  us  at  home,  the  toma- 
hawk-chopping Atlanta  Braves  be- 
came a  household  name  as  they  sizzled 
their  way  to  the  top  with  a  MIRACLE 
SEASON. 

Just  as  everything  in  the  U.S. 
was  improving,  Americans  watched 
a  gruesome  event  that  shook  our  na- 
tion. Los  Angeles-  an  image  etched 
forever  in  our  minds.  It  was  the  first 
time  in  years  that  our  country  seemed 
unstable  and  out  of  control  when  the 
officers  of  the  Rodney  King  beating 
were  acquitted.  Innocent  lives  were 
taken  as  people  rioted  in  the  streets 
after  the  verdict  was  read. 

Every  event  made  a  difference 
in  our  lives  even  if  it  didn't  effect  us 
directly.  But  through  every  event,  we 
as  a  nation  learned  something  so  next 
year  we  can  resolve  to  do  better.

to  help  each  other  prepare  for  an  upcoming  exams.  Far  right:  With 
the  increase  of  students  on  campus,  the  registration  lines  became 
almost  unbearable.  Top  right:  Augusta  Public  Transit  offered  free 
service  to  AC  students  with  valid  IDs.  What  better  time  to  review 
notes  than  while  waiting  for  the  bus. 


k 


^1        tudent  life  on  campus  had  its  differ- 


Oences  this  year.  Enrollment  increased 
by  100.  making  it  harder  to  find  a 
parking  space  in  the  already  packed  parking  lot  and 
made  the  registration  lines  almost  unbearable. 

Students  and  faculty  who  smoke  had  difficult 
time  finding  a  place  to  "light  up".  All  buildings 
except  for  the  lower  level  of  the  College  Activity 
Center  became  smoke  free. 

Recycling  Week  made  students  and  faculty 
more  "Earth  Conscious."  Campus  offices  recycled 
cans  and  paper  and  recycling  bins  were  placed  near 
the  Chateau  for  students  and  faculty. 

Spring  Break  coincided  with  Masters  Week 
this  year  which  seemed  to  make  Winter  and  Spring 
quarters  go  on  forever. 

Student  Life  -  What  a  difference!

Fientation 


Do  you  remember  Ori- 
entation? Were  you  nervous, 
excited,  and  frightened  all  at  the 
same  time?  Were  you  unsure  of 
what  the  day  would  bring,  since 
all  of  your  friends  in  college  had 
already  told  you  that  ALL  the 
classes  were  taken?  Were  you 
relieved  to  find  out  later  that 
those  people  exaggerating?  As 
you  went  around  that  day 
weren't  you  glad  that  you  had 
those  nice  smiling  people  wear- 
ing those  loud  neon  green 
nametags  there  to  help  you?  I'm 
sure  you  were.  Those  smiling 
faces  were  the  highly  skilled  and 
trained  members  of  the  Augusta 
College  Orientation  Advising 
Registration  Special  Programs 
staff,  or  OARS  for  short. 

The  OARS  staff  is  com- 
posed of  students,  who  have 
volunteered  their  services  for  a 
period  of  one  academic  year. 
The  staff  was  the  brain  child  of 
Kathy  Thompson,  director  of  En- 
rollment  Management.  She 
wanted  to  "create  a  corps  of 
trained  student  volunteers  that 
would  provide  a  continuity  from 
program  to  program."  Prior  to 
the  inception  of  the  program. 
Orientation  was  staffed  by 
whomever  showed  up  to  help 
that  morning.  Now,  the  staff  is 
composed  of  people  who  put  in 
as  many  hours  as  65  hours  in  a 
year  helping  out  with  these  pro- 
grams. 

Becoming  an  OARS 
staff  member  is  relatively  easy. 
One  only  needs  to  make  an  ap- 
plication with  Ms.  Thompson, 
who  is  located  in  the  START  UP 
center  on  the  third  floor  of  the 
CAC.  Applications  can  be  taken 
all  year  long.  After  the  applica- 
tion is  turned  in,  the  prospective 
staff  member  is  then  handed  an 
envelope  with  a  check  off  sheet 
attached.  The  student  has  to  go 
around  and  collect  the  neces- 
sary materials,  find  the  right 
places,  and  speak  to  some  im- 


portant people.  Some  of  the  things 
the  staff  learns  are  the  number  and 
position  of  all  of  the  SGA  free 
phones,  where  all  of  the  adminis- 
trative offices  are  and  what  OPIDS 
is  and  where  it  is  located.  They 
also  must  obtain  literature  from 
such  Student  Services  offices  as 
Counseling  and  Testing,  Financial 
Aid,  and  Student  Activities.  They 
must  talk  to  Vice-Presidents 
Bompart  and  Barnabei,  the  Regis- 
trar, and  the  associate  Dean  of  Stu- 
dents, Roscoe  Williams,  to  name  a 
few.  Once  this  is  turned  in,  the 
training  with  the  current  staff  takes 
place  and  the  new  staff  member  is 
introduced  to  that  most  hectic  of 
days:  Orientation  Day. 

Orientation  Day  is  long 
and  tiring  for  everyone.  The  pro- 
grams don't  start  until  10  a.m.,  but 
the  OARS  staff  usually  arrives  in 
the  PAT  before  9  a.m.  to  set  up. 
Usually  there  are  already  a  few 
new  students  who  are  trying  to  get 
a  jump  on  the  system,  but  don't 
realize  that  they  aren't  able  to  reg- 
ister after  a  particular  time,  be- 
cause the  computer  won't  allow  it. 
Once  the  doors  are  open  ,  the  new 
students  don't  trickle  in,  they  flood 
in. 

The  first  face  a  new  stu- 
dent sees  are  those  people  who 
hand  out  the  packets  of  useful  in- 
formation. Also  at  the  station  are 
pencils,  program  schedules,  infor- 
mation for  Developmental  Stud- 
ies students.  Transfer  information, 
and  any  other  club  or  organization 
that  manages  to  get  their  informa- 
tion to  the  OARS  staff.  From  there 
the  students  go  to  the  next  station, 
where  they  pick  up  their  schedule 
sheets.  It  is  here  that  some  prob- 
lems are  addressed:  Some  people 
do  not  have  schedule  sheets,  im- 
munization forms  are  not  filed, 
there  is  some  sort  of  admissions 
hold,  etc...  These  problems  are 
handled  by  the  staff  and  represen- 
tative from  Admissions,  usually 
Patti  Peabody.  From  there  the  stu- 
dents enter  the  Auditorium,  where 


aze 


they  are  sat  according  to  their  ma- 
jor. There  are  OARS  staff  members 
inside  to  help  them  with  any  other 
questions.  Usually  the  students  are 
very  restless.  Many  of  them  do  not 
want  to  be  there,  they  are  worried 
about  losing  their  classes.  A  few 
decide  to  leave  the  program  and 
short  circuit  the  process.  They  are 
found  later  in  the  day,  wandering 
around  campus  confused  and  in 
need  of  help.  Once  the  program 
starts,  these  new  students  are  given 
an  overdose  of  information  con- 
cerning student  services.  Transfer 
credits.  Developmental  studies. 
Registration  procedures  and  prob- 
lems with  the  "Registration  Day 
from  Hell"  skit.  After  all  of  their 
questions  have  been  answered,  and 
perhaps  a  few  more  caused,  the 
students  are  taken  to  their  advi- 
sors. Here,  it  may  take  some  time 
for  the  larger  groups  to  see  an 
advisor,  but  the  OARS  staff  is  there 
to  help  by  answering  what  ques- 
tions they  can,  and  telling  the  stu- 
dents what  classes  are  actually 
closed.  The  OARS  staff  does  not 
leave  the  station  until  the  last  stu- 
dent is  gone,  and  then  they  go  to 
see  if  another  area  needs  help.  This 
process  can  take  as  much  as  two 
hours.  When  this  is  finished  the 
students  and  staff  split  their  ways. 
The  students  go  to  register,  buy 
their  parking  stickers,  get  their  ID's 
madeand  pay  theirbills.  The  OARS 
staff  reports  back  to  the  START  UP 
center,  where  they  relax  for  a  few 
minutes  and  then  fill  out  reports  of 
the  program  and  how  the  advising 
sessions  with  the  students  went. 

Orientation  Day  is  a  very 
busy  day  for  all.  It  would  be  a  little 
more  difficult  for  everyone  with- 
out the  OARS  staff  there  to  help. 
New  students  have  a  chance  to  be 
greeted  by  fellow  students  who 
are  willing  to  help.  This  helps  to 
make  the  transition  a  little  easier. 
That  is  the  main  mission  of  the 
OARS  staff:  To  be  there  to  just  help 
when  needed.

The  effect  of  diet  on 
health  has  been  a  concern  for 
mankind  for  thousands  of 
years.  In  1600  A.D.,  Thomas 
Moffett  wrote  in  Heth  (sic)  Im- 
provement, "Men  dig  their 
Graves  with  their  own  Teeth, 
and  die  more  by  these  fated 
Instruments  than  the  Weapons 
of  their  Enemies." 

Today  more  and  more 
scientific  and  medical  studies 
DO  Unk  diet  to  a  host  of  deadly 
diseases,  including  a  variety  of 
cancers  and  heart  disease.  As  a 
result,  people  are  altering  their 
life-styles  to  include  a  healthier 
diet,  and  vegetarianism,  once 
I  looked  upon  as  offbeat,  is  com- 
ing into  its  own.  In  fact,  accord- 
ing to  The  Vegetarian  Times 
magazine,  about  eight  million 
\  Americans  are  now  vegetar- 
I  ians,  including  many  celebri- 
ties like  Candice  Bergan, 
Christie  Brinkly,  George 
Harrison,  Stevie  Wonder,  and 
Paul  and  Linda  McCartney. 

Augusta  College  has  its 
share  of  vegetarians  too,  and 
the  Higher  Taste  Club  was 
started  this  year  to  help  veg- 
etarians and  those  interested  in 
the  life-style  network  and  share 
information.  Club  members 
include  students,  faculty,  and 
staff  members-some  who  have 
sworn  off  meat  for  as  many  as 
16  years,  as  well  as  novices  of 
several  months.  Non-vegetar- 
ians also  frec|uent  the  meetings. 
Club  president  Smita 
I'atel,  a  vegetarian  for  eight 
years,  said  that  one  of  the  main 
functions  of  the  group  will  be 
education.  "We're  not  here  to 
try  to  con  vert  anyone-we'll  give 


them  the  facts,  and  they  can 
decide  for  themselves.  We  can 
serve  as  a  resource  and  support 
group  for  anyone  who  is  inter- 
ested." 

Hema  Patel,  vice-presi- 
dent of  the  group,  pointed  out 
that  while  many  people  view 
vegetarians  as  "carrot 
crunchers,"  nothing  could  be 
further  from  the  truth.  "Veg- 
etarians choose  from  a  wide 
variety  of  foods,  including  veg- 
etables, fruits,  grains,  and  le- 
gumes (peas  and  beans).  There 
are  also  varying  degrees  of  veg- 
etarianism-lacto,  which  in- 
cludes use  of  dairy  products; 
ovo,  which  includes  eggs;  lacto- 
ovo,  which  uses  both  eggs  and 
dairy  products;  and  vegan  (pro- 
nounced vee-gun),  which  use 
no  animal  products  at  all.  It 
gives  people  a  lot  of  freedom  to 
choose  what  they  feel  most  com- 
fortable with,  and  what  fits  in 
best  with  their  life-style." 

Faculty  advisor  Paul 
Sladky,  assistant  professor  of 
English  and  a  16-year  vegetar- 
ian, said,  "In  the  70's  people 
became  vegetarians  for  ethical, 
moral,  pohtical,  and  spiritual 
reasons  -  health  was  not  the 
prominent  argument  that  it  is 
today.  Vegetarianism  seems  to 
follow  closely  the  new  direc- 
tion of  holistic  medicine,  with 
its  larger  concern  for  a  kind  of 
'preventive'  health  mainte- 
nance. The  low  cholesterol  na- 
ture of  the  vegetarian  diet  has 
strong  appeal.  On  of  our  pur- 
poses is  to  make  people  aware 
of  this  option." 

Althougli  lieiillh  con- 
cerns are  probably  a  major  rea- 


son most  Americans  give  up 
meat,  Ms.  Patel  said  some  envi- 
ronmental problems  caused  by 
meat  consumption  are  becom- 
ing more  important.  She  said, 
"Growing  one  pound  of  wheat 
takes  60  gallons  of  water,  while 
you  will  use  2500  to  6000  pounds 
of  water  to  get  the  same  amount 
of  meat.  Slaughterhouses  and 
feedlots  are  also  big  users  of 
fresh  water,  which  is  a  precious 
resource  we  need  to  conserve." 
The  students  reasons 
for  giving  up  on  meat  are  di- 
verse, but  club  members  feel 
good  about  their  choices.  Club 
secretary  Yi-Huey  Yong,  a  Pre- 
Med  major,  said,  "All  my  hfe 
I've  been  conscious  of  what  I 
was  eating.  As  a  biology  major, 
seeing  all  the  dead  fish  and 
animals  made  me  realize  what 
life  actually  meant  and  what 
meat  really  is." 

Ira  Chase,  a  counseling 
psychologist  at  the  Counseling 
and  Testing  Center,  has  been  a 
vegetarian  for  nine  years.  He 
said,  "I  think  vegetarianism  con- 
tributes to  wellness-  it's  part  of 
a  whole  life-style.  For  me,  not 
eating  meat  is  a  moral  and 
health  issue.  I  feel  that  it's 
healthier  for  me,  and  1  know  it's 
healthier  for  the  animals." 

Ms.  Patel  encouraged 
by  the  student  response  to  the 
group,  said,  "Now,  we  have 
about  15  members  and  that 
number  is  growing.  We  have 
as  many  members  as  a  lot  of 
college  clubs,  even  though  veg- 
etarians are  a  definite  minor- 
ity."

"We're  at  war 

U.S.  planes  bomb  Baghdad" 

The  headhne  in  The  Au- 
gusta Chronicle  on  the  morning 
of  Jan.  17,  1991,  was  the  state- 
ment of  what  had  taken  place 
the  night  before.  For  the  fifth 
time  in  this  century,  the  United 
States  had  committed  itself  to  a 
major  war. 

There  was  a  difference 
in  this  war  and  the  ones  that 
preceded  it,  however.  This  one 
was  seen  and  heard  around  the 
world  on  live  television.  Cable 
Network  News  brought  wave 
after  wave  of  fighter-bombers 
battering  Baghdad  into  our  liv- 
ing rooms  —  homes  where 
brothers,  sisters,  parents  and 
friends  of  men  and  women  in- 
volved in  the  fighting  nervously 
watched  and  listened. 

The  liberation  of  Ku- 
wait had  begun.  The  mood  was 
somber.  At  Augusta  College, 
many  students  and  staff  mem- 
bers watched  the  war  on  televi- 
sion late  into  the  night.  Many 
missed  classes  or  reported  to 
their  offices  late.  A  television 
was  brought  into  the  Butler  Hall 
Snack  Bar.  There  was  little  con- 
versation. What  conversation 
there  was  centered  on  the  war. 

The  picture  was  the 
same  in  the  College  Activities 
Center  lounge  where  students 
gathered  in  front  of  the  52-inch 
television  screen. 

The  United  States  had 
been  demanding  for  five-and- 


a-half  months  that  Iraq  with- 
draw from  Kuwait.  American 
warplanes  and  several  thou- 
sand ground  troops  had  been 
dispatched  to  Saudi  Arabia  in 
August.  Military  reserve  units 
were  put  on  stand-by  for  acti- 
vation. 

Before  the  war  ended, 
it  was  brought  very  close  to 
home  at  Augusta  College.  It  hit 
closest  to  Theresa  M.  Bryant, 
director  of  the  Division  of  Con- 
tinuing Education.  Her  brother 
was  among  the  casualties.  He 
was  a  gunner,  one  of  14  crew 
members  flying  on  a  support 
mission  killed  when  their  air- 
craft was  shot  down  on  Janu- 
ary 31 .  She  said  that  her  brother, 
as  well  as  the  others  who  lost 
their  lives  were  career  military. 
"They  were  just  doing  their 
jobs." 

In  the  fall  of  1990  when 
troops  were  being  put  on  alert 
for  possible  duty  in  Saudi 
Arabia,  enrollment  at  AC  to- 
taled 5,205  which  was  33  fewer 
students  than  had  enrolled  the 
previous  fall.  By  winter  quar- 
ter, registration  was  down  to 
5,020.  Spring  enrollment  was 
down  by  another  seven  stu- 
dents. Since  the  war's  end,  it 
has  been  on  the  upswing. 

There  were  no  mecha- 
nisms in  place  to  determine  if 
the  decline  was  Persian  Gulf 
related,  according  to  Jackie 
Stewart  of  the  AC  office  of  In- 
stitutional Research.  "Wedidn't 


know  where  our  students  were 
working,  how  many  were  in 
the  military  or  how  many  were 
military  dependents,"  she  said. 

For  ROTC  students  at 
AC,  the  war  made  their  mili- 
tary studies  more  serious.  "We 
were  no  longer  talking  in  ab- 
stracts," said  LTC  Patrick  D. 
Rivette,  professor  of  Military 
Science. 

"It  definitely  height- 
ened their  interest,"  Rivette 
said.  "Instead  of  just  studying 
about  logistical  support  and 
biological  warfare,  they  saw  it 
was  something  they  could  be 
called  upon  to  know.  These  are 
skills  you  must  learn  before  be- 
ing called  to  active  duty.  Once 
you're  there,  you  don't  have 
time  to  learn.  You  have  to  do."

Above:  When  the  United  States  committed  itself  to 
war  in  early  January  1991,  students  of  the  ROTC 
program  at  AC  realized  how  serious  their  military 
studies  actually  were.  Students  not  only  studied 
logistical  support  and  biological  warfare  but  tliey 
saw  its  effects  first  hand. 


I  ar  Left:  Students  anxiously  awaited  news  of  llu'

Most  of  the  emotions  seen  were  of  anger  and  fear.

policy  banning  alcohol  on  campus  was  passed. 
Here  a  news  team  interviews  Kathryn  Kimberly- 
SGA,  Kay  Phillips-Student  Activities,  JC 
Halvorson-SG  A,  John  Groves-Student  Activities, 
and  Marion  Cheek  from  Public  Relations  about 
the  new  policy. 


Right:  Augusta  had  the  opportunity  to  see  Vice 
President  Dan  Quayle  on  one  of  his  campaign 
stops  for  President  George  Bush.  Quayle  made 
his  stop  at  Bush  Field  airport  February  28th  and 
stayed  the  afternoon  to  eat  lunch  with  local  city 
and  county  officials. 


Far  Right:  On  a  global  view,  the  coup  in  the  Soviet 
Union  began  on  August  19, 1991.  An  eight-man 
committee  led  by  Vice  President  Gennady 
Yanayev  took  power  from  President  Mikhail  S. 
Gorbachev.  Yanayev  said  Gorbachev  was  ill.  As 
Russian  President  Boris  Yeltsin  called  on  Rus- 
sians to  resist  the  coup,  tanks  and  other  military 
gear  moved  into  Moscow.

Voters  and  non  voters 
on  campus  have  similar  per- 
spective of  political  campaigns, 
whether  it  involves  national, 
local  or  student  government 
politics.  "A  joke:  they  start 
sweet  and  then  the  mud  starts 
slinging,"  said  Elizabeth 
Harper,  as  she  worked  in  the 
campus  book  store.  Freshman 
Charles  Bell  said,  "I  think  about 
a  lot  of  unkept  promises  and 
dishonesty."  But  for  those  who 
get  involved  in  campus  poli- 
tics, the  rewards  and  accom- 
plishments are  many.  "Its  such 
a  wonderful  experience  once 
you  get  involved,"  said  Patti 
Peabody,  the  first  female  Stu- 
dent Government  Association 
President,  serving  in  1 986-1987. 

The  lack  of  student  in- 
volvement and  delays  in  acting 
on  issues  sometimes  spell  a  big 


negative  for  campus  politics. 
"There  are  two  groups  of  stu- 
dents, those  who  get  involved 
and  those  who  don't,  and  stu- 
dents are  working  harder  leav- 
ing less  time  for  politics,"  said 
Peabody. 

Also,  there  is  some- 
times a  delay  in  resolving  some 
issues  because  leaders  are  not 
in  a  permanent  position.  Sev- 
eral of  the  colleges  leadership 
positions  are  vacant,  and  it  is 
easier  for  acting  leaders  to  de- 
lay the  decision  making  pro- 
cess. 

Sometimes  the  growth 
of  the  college  sometimes  causes 
issues  that  were  handled  ear- 
lier to  reemerge,  like  parking. 
Many  new  spaces  were  made 
available  three  years  ago,  but 
the  continuing  enrollment  in- 
crease has  once  again  caused  a 


problem  with  parking. 

Student  involvement 
has  increased  some  during  the 
current  tenure  of  Al  Hamilton, 
outgoing  SGA  President. 
"We've  got  over  10  percent  of 
the  student  body  voting  and 
the  Senate  size  had  doubled.... 
I  want  to  see  people  involved.  I 
am  concerned  about  this  cam- 
pus and  the  community," 
Hamilton  said.  He  thinks  the 
faculty  has  had  a  lot  to  do  with 
the  current  involvement  by 
speaking  about  upcoming 
events  during  class  and  vocally 
encouraging  students  to  par- 
ticipate. 

"Hottest  issues  this 
past  year  have  been  dealing 
with  the  budget  cuts,  modifica- 
tion of  the  Student  Activity  Cen- 
ter and  teacher  evaluations." 
During  the  budget  cuts  stu- 
dents created  a  volunteer  pro- 
gram and  have  been  very  help- 
ful contributing  their  time  to 
ease  the  extra  burden  placed  on 
the  faculty.  Modifications  of 
the  CAC  building  arose  from  a 
survey  by  the  Judicial  Cabinet. 
The  new  deck  is  in  the  planning 
process  now.  The  teacher  evalu- 
ation program,  however,  is  one 
issue  that  seems  never  to  get 
resolved. 

hi  spiteof  thenegatives 
there  are  big  positives  for  those 
who  get  involved.  Much  can  be 
gained  from  participating  in  tlie 
political  structure.  Students 
learn  to  be  leaders  and  leaders 
learn  humility.  "Learning  to 
di'.il  with  people  is  the  greatest 
thing  1  learned,"  said  Peabody. 
"Learning  to  deal  with  people, 
lo  in.iki'  unluirried  decisions 
,HHi  patience  are  the  most  im- 
portant things  for  me,"  said 
I  lamilton.

Imagine  going  to  a  col- 
lege library  and  being  sur- 
rounded by  hoards  of  goofy 
teenagers  with  nothing  but  rag- 
ing hormones  on  their  mind. 
Definitely  not  the  ideal  study 
location. 

Believe  it  or  not,  just  a 
couple  of  years  ago,  this  image 
was  a  horrifying  dilemma  that 
the  Reese  Library  at  Augusta 
College  was  facing.  Assistant 
Head  of  Public  Services  for 
Reese  Library,  Roxann  Bustos, 
remembers  the  invasion  of  the 
immature  local  teenagers  all  to 
well. 

"I  can  remember  a 
couple  of  years  ago  finding 
teenagers  on  the  upper  floors 
of  the  library  tossing  M&M's 
around  like  they  were  still  in 
their  high  school  cafeterias," 
Bustos  said.  "They  were  acting 
like  wild  animals,  and  I  felt  like 
I  was  in  a  zoo  instead  of  a  col- 
lege library." 

"Ever  since  that  inci- 
dent, high  school  students  have 
been  forbidden  to  enter  the  li- 
brary after  5:45  PM  without 
adult  supervision,"  Bustos  said. 
"We  started  posting  a  guard  at 
the  front  entrance,  who  checked 
student's  IDs  before  allowing 
them  to  enter  through  the  front 
gates." 

"After  most  of  the  im- 
mature trouble  makers  found 
out  about  the  new  regulations, 
they  must  have  found  other 
places  to  cause  trouble  because 
the  noise  and  confusion  at  the 
library  seemed  to  calm  down," 
Bustos  said.  "The  guard  that 
stands  at  the  front  gate  occa- 
sionally stops  the  younger  look- 
ing people  to  make  sure  they 
are  AC  students." 

Augusta  College  has 
come  a  long  way  since  the  days 
of  troubled  teens  invading  col- 


lege students  space.  As  a  mat- 
ter of  fact,  1992  brought  many 
students  into  the  library  for  sev- 
eral different  reasons.  Some  stu- 
dents came  to  enrich  their  stud- 
ies with  the  vast  research  mate- 
rials, while  others  came  to  en- 
rich their  social  lives. 

"Younger  students  go 
to  the  library  to  socialize,  but 
when  they  get  into  the  higher 
level  classes  they  tend  to  use 
the  library  to  study  a  lot  more," 
said  Reed  Coss,  a  Senior  Com- 
munications major. 

"From  my  experience, 
more  students  come  to  the  li- 
brary to  study  rather  than  to 
socialize,"  Assistant  Librarian 
John  O'Shea  said.  "However  the 
library  is  a  place  for  people  to 
gather,  so  naturally  socializing 
is  also  an  integral  part  of  the 
system." 

"I  think  as  long  as  stu- 


dents aren't  being  disrespect- 
ful to  others  than  they  can  do 
whatever  they  want,"  Bustos 
said.  "I  am  really  happy  to  see 
the  students  using  the  library 
regardless  of  their  intentions." 

Whatever  the  initial 
reason  might  be  for  making  a 
trip  to  the  library,  students  will 
surely  come  away  with  some 
gained  insight.  Whether  the 
knowledge  has  been  academic 
or  social,  students  will  saunter 
away  from  Reese  Library  with 
valuable  insights  into  the 
world. 

AC  students  should 
also  feel  privileged  that  they 
have  the  infinite  right  to  use 
the  library's  resources  without 
being  subjected  to  prosecution. 
Just  imagine  how  envious  those 
uncontrollable  hormone  crea- 
tures must  be!

Above:    The  ATLAS  computer  system  was 
installed  in  the  library  in  1989.  This  system 
allows  students  to  look  up  publications  by 
title  of  work,  author  of  work,  or  by  subject 
matter.  It  definately  saves  time  and  headache 
when  completing  homework  projects. 

Left:    The  library  may  be  the  only  place  that 
some  students  can  take  advantage  of  the  quiet 
to  complete  their  work.   Some  corners  of  the 
library  are  isolated  enough  that  small  study 
groups  can  get  away  with  talking  --  quiet 
talking.

In  November  of  1991,  a 
group  of  Augusta  College  stu- 
dents who  were  members  of  the 
Science  Fiction  and  Fantasy  club, 
received  a  unique  opportunity  to 
participate  in  an  adventure  of 
"sword  and  sorcery"  that  was  dif- 
ferent from  the  more  traditional 
dice  and  paper  fantasy  role-play- 
ing games  that  they  were  used  to. 
This  adventure  was  a  live  fan- 
tasy role-playing  game  spon- 
sored by  the  Atlanta  provisional 
chapter  of  the  International  Fan- 
tasy Gaming  Society  (IFGS).  Since 
that  time,  the  members  have  par- 
ticipated in  all  of  games  in  Geor- 
gia, which  is  well  over  a  dozen, 
as  well  as  two  in  Decatur,  Ala- 
bama sponsored  by  the  Decatur 
provisional  chapter. 

The  International  Fantasy 
Gaming  Society  is  a  national  or- 
ganization consisting  of  over  3000 
members  with  chapters  in  many 
states  including  California,  Colo- 
rado, Texas,  Oklahoma,  Ohio, 
Alabama,  and  Georgia.  The  soci- 
ety is  dedicated  to  producing  fun, 
safe  and  imaginative  games. 
There  are  rules  to  cover  Fantasy, 
Undercover  (spy),  and  Science 
Fiction  games.  At  this  point  in 
time  the  Atlanta  chapter  has  only 
run  Fantasy  games. 

A  game  has  been  likened  to 
a  play  where  the  players,  called 
PC's  for  the  players  characters, 
have  no  copy  of  the  script  and 
must  improvise  their  way 
through  the  play.  They  must  play 
off  of  each  other  and  of  the  people 
who  do  possess  a  script,  called 
NPC's  for  non-player  characters. 
This  is  a  considerable  test  of  one's 
skills  and  imagination.  During 
the  game,  the  PC's  must  usually 
overcome  some  obstacle  in  order 
to  "rescue  the  princess",  of  per- 
haps "find  the  ancient  lost  trea- 
sure of  so  and  so. "  These  ob- 
stacles can  range  from  some  sort 
of  puzzle  similar  in  concept  to 
the  Sphinx's  riddle  of  ancient 


layiii: 


Greek  mythology,  or  a  combat 
where  the  PC's  "blood."  While 
these  encounters  may  be  a  major 
part  of  the  game,  some  encoun- 
ters may  consist  of  only  meeting 
with  an  NPC  and  talking  with 
them,  trying  to  glean  some  infor- 
mation out  of  them  about  the 
game. 

These  games  can  last  any- 
where from  four  hours  to  forty- 
eight  hours  in  length.  Players  are 
awarded  points  based  on  their 
performance  called  experience 
points.  These  points  allow  a  char- 
acter to  advance  through  levels. 
As  the  characters  gain  higher  lev- 
els they  become  more  powerful 
and  gain  new  abilities.  Along 
with  these  points  is  the  possibil- 
ity of  gaining  treasure  from  each 
game  for  that  character. 

At  the  core  of  all  of  these 
games  are  the  characters  that 
players  develop  using  the  rules 
system.  There  are  eight  character 
classes  or  professions  and  the  few 
members  from  Augusta  cover  all 
of  them. 

The  club's  secretary.  Misty 
Nistler  (Education  major),  has  de- 
veloped two  female  Clerics,  Glow 
Gilith  and  Emma,  and  a  female 
Fighter,  Blaze,  who  are  based 
upon  characters  she  developed 
for  a  Dungeons  and  Dragons 
campaign  she  plays  in.  Sean 
Hiland  (Political  Science)  has  de- 
veloped a  Knight,  Alistar,  who 
comes  from  an  island  nation  simi- 
lar to  England  and  an  Arabian 
merchant  wizard  named  Akeer. 
Tom  Ricks  (English)  developed 
a  Priest,  Redwin,  and  a  nearly 
incompetent  Mage  named 
Vladamir,  who  was  just  recently 
cured  of  vamparism.  Gary 
Nistler  (Psychology)  has  a  Thief 
named  Jacks,  a  Druid  named 
Jason  l3owridge,  and  a  Knight 
named  Imbia.  Rob  Hay nie  (Com- 
puter Science)  has  a  college 
Kiingcr  called  Jordan  Bowridge, 
and  a  bliin,.  i^avid  Caradine-  like 


vJaine' 


Monk  character  called  San-Do. 

Participating  in  the  games 
provides  many  benefits.  The 
games  allow  one  to  pit  their  act- 
ing talents  against  another  indi- 
vidual or  may  just  push  them- 
selves to  the  limits  of  trying  to 
stay  in  character  for  several 
hours.  It  helps  to  promote  men- 
tal agility  as  a  player  tries  to  re- 
member what  effect  a  spell  may 
have  or  try  to  keep  track  of  how 
many  life  points  he  may  have  in 
the  middle  of  a  big  fight.  The 
games  also  helps  one  to  become 
physically  fit.  Hiking  through 
the  country  side  all  day  with  a 
pack  on  your  back,  interspersed 
with  mock  combats  is  a  physical 
challenge  in  itself.  If  one  hap- 
pens to  play  the  part  of  an  NPC  in 
a  fighting  encounter  and  three 
teams  of  PC's  come  through  in 
one  day  at  about  twenty  minute 
intervals,  being  physically  fit  is  a 
plus. 

The  pictures  accompany- 
ing this  article  were  taken  at  a 
game  called  Dark  Lands  Crossing 
written  by  P.  Dennis  Waltman, 
the  current  Atlanta  Chapter  presi- 
dent. The  game  was  played  on 
November  23,  1991.  The  party 
leader  or  Loremaster  was  James 
Hooper  as  the  Ranger,  Jordan 
Bowridge.  Other  party  members 
include  Tom  Ricks  as  Vladamir 
the  Mage,  Sean  Hiland  as  Alistar, 
Misty  Nistler  as  the  Cleric  of 
Grimm  Emma  (that  great  "god" 
of  fables  and  fairy  tales),  and  Gary 
Nistler  as  the  Druid,  Jason 
Bowridge  all  from  Augusta  Col- 
lege. A  visitor  from  Florida,  Tim 
Kennedy, played  the artisticThief 
and  was  thoroughly  enjoyed  by 
the  group.  The  characters  all 
came  away  from  the  game  alive 
and  with  a  modest  amount  of 
treasure  and  experience  points.

Toscanini, Leonard 
Bernstein,  Herbert  von  Karajan, 
Robert  Shaw.  The  mere  men- 
tion of  the  names  of  these  great 
twentieth  century  conductors 
conjures  up  thoughts  of  great- 
ness, strength  and  power.  The 
leader  who  stands  before  a  sym- 
phony orchestra  or  concert 
choir  possesses  the  utmost  com- 
mand and  abihty  to  emanate 
beautiful  music. 

Music  majors  at  Au- 
gusta College  are  given  the  rare 
opportunity  to  learn  about  and 
appreciate  the  complexity  and 
savoir-faire  of  fine  conducting 
through  its  study  in  three  suc- 
cessive courses:  Basic  Conduct- 
ing, band  and  Orchestra  Tech- 
niques, and  Choral  and  Re- 
hearsal Techniques.  Dr.  Alan 
Drake,  professor  of  Basic  Con- 
ducting, teaches  the  students 
beat  patterns  and  conducting 
with  a  batan  held  in  the  right 
hand. 

Eventually,  they  learn  to  use 
their  left-hand  independently 
from  their  right  for  cueing,  con- 
trolling dynamics,  and  empha- 
sizing emotion.  He  tells  the  class 
to  be  as  "straightforward  as 
possible,"  and  that  "individual 
style  will  follow." 

Terms  such  as  "impulse 
of  will,"  a  confident  prepara- 
tion of  the  beat,  the  "ictus",  or 
precision  of  each  beat,  and 
"takt,"  constancy  or  tempo,  soon 
become  familiar  to  the  conduct- 
ing student. 

Each  student  has  the 
chance  to  conduct  a  choir  and 
instrumental  ensemble  formed 
by  therest  of  the  class.  Senior 
Vicky  Knowles,  explains  that 
"condvicting  is  harder  than  it 


looks  and  requires  a  lot  olf  prac- 
tice and  a  lot  of  thoughtl" 

Upon  entering  the 
class,  each  person  must  culmi- 
nate everything  that  he  has 
studied  in  music.  A  conductor 
must  be  a  fine  musician,  have 
an  acute  knowledge  of  music 
theory,  comprehend  music  his- 
tory, posses  technique  aind  be 
musicial.  The  most  difficult  el- 
ement of  conducting  is  being 
able  to  convey  to  the  musician 
what  is  intended  in  the  music. 
A  conductor  suddenly  becomes 
a  leader,  a  teacher,  and  a  por- 
trayer  of  musicial  interpreta- 
tion with  the  expectation  of 
pleasing  the  listeners.  Conduct- 
ing "opens  up  a  whole  new 
world  of  interpretation,"  says 
Kevin  Pollack. 

Ultimately  what  is  im- 
portant in  any  class  is  the  end 
result.  Alice  Milligan  expresses 
her  sentiments:  "Taking  this 


class  really  inakes  me  appreci- 
ate a  good  conductor.  It  in- 
creases my  pleasure  in  going  to 
a  symphony  because  now  not 
only  do  I  hear  the  music,  I  can 
see  the  music." 

The  priority  of  the 
music  department  at  Augusta 
College  is  to  make  music.  The 
highly  qualified  professors  who 
are  teachers  as  well  as  perform- 
ers make  it  their  job  to  educate 
their  students  through  the  study 
of  music  theory,  music  history, 
ear  training,  private  lessons, 
ensemble  work,  recital  lab,  or- 
chestration, and  conduction, 
yielding  a  fine  musician. 

Unlike  other  depart- 
ments, a  freshman  entering  the 
music  department  has  already 
become  well-acquired  with  his 
field  of  study,  his  instrument  or 
voice,  through  many  years  of 
practice  and  lessons.

The  Augusta  College 
Alumni  and  friends  gathered 
for  the  Annual  Barbeque  on 
Thursday,  October  17.  The 
Alumni  Board  changed  the  site 
of  the  Barbeque  this  year  from 
the  Quadrangle  to  the  Alumni 
House.  The  change  was  made 
to  help  the  Association  with 
their  fundraising  efforts  to  reno- 
vate  the  Alumni  house. 
$150,000  is  needed  for  the  reno- 
vations and  the  Board  wanted 
Alumnists  to  see  the  needed 
repairs. 

The  fundraising  event  was 
kicked  off  by  a  barbeque  din- 
ner. The  fundraiser,  according 
to  Hillis  De  Roller,  was  a  brick- 
selling  program.  It  was  coordi- 
nated by  De  Roller  and  Helen 
Hendee  and  chaired  by  Carolyn 
Whitt,  Alumni  Association 
Coordinator.   The  bricks  were 


sold  for  donations  between 
$100-  $5,000.  Purchasers  will 
have  their  names  printed  on 
the  bricks  which  will  then  be 
used  in  the  renovations.  The 
bricks  will  be  used  to  make  a 
patio  garden/fountain  area  in 
the  backyard  of  the  Maxwell 
House. 

Besides  great  food,  the 
guests  were  treated  to  music 
and  an  Art  exhibt  featuring  lo- 
cal artists  from  the  Summerville 
area.  Over  six-hundred  hun- 
gry people  were  served  by 
Neal's  Bar-B-Que  and  the  des- 
serts were  home-made  by 
Alumni  members  and  the  AC 
Student  Ambassador  Board. 

The  music  was  pro- 
vided by  Toole  And  Company, 
The  Sweet  AdeUnes,  The  Loral 
Lady  Barbershoppers  and  Mike 
Brown  and  his  Brass  Quintet. 


The  weather  was  perfect 
for  the  fundraising  event. 

Other  events  of  the  Asso- 
ciation throughout  the  year  in- 
cluded a  fundraising  Phone- A- 
Thon,  the  Christmas  Tree  Light- 
ing Ceremony  with  Santa  Claus 
and  the  Summerville  area  resi- 
dents, participating  in  the 
Homecoming  events,  the 
Spring  Gala  awards  ceremony, 
and  the  Annual  Golf  Tourna- 
ment. A  50  year  class  reunion 
for  the  class  of  1942  was  held  in 
May,1992. 

In  1992,  AC  had  about 
11, 000  Alumni  members.  Some 
of  the  benefits  the  $50  dues  in- 
clude for  AC  Alumnist  include 
notification  of  and  special  dis- 
counts to  AC  events  such  as 
campus  events,  movies  and  the- 
ater performances.

"Augusta  College  Homecoming 
means  fellowship,  activities  and  re- 
unions," says  Al  Hamilton,  Homecoming 
King  for  1992.  To  Smita  Patel,  Homecom- 
ing means  "a  bunch  of  my  friends  and  the 
Augusta  College  students  getting  together 
to  have  a  great  'collegiate'  time." 

On  February  15,  Smita  Patel  and 
Al  Hamilton  experienced  Homecoming 
to  its  fullest  when  they  were  crowned 
king  &  queen  during  the  Homecoming 
men's  basketball  game.  Not  only  the  new 
king  and  queen  were  presented  to  the 


Augusta  College  students,  but  also  the  new  i| 
mascot  for  the  Jaguars,  Al  E.  Cat.  I 

The  cheering  basketball  crowd  : 
showed  their  school  spirit  and  enjoyed  them- 
selves at  the  dance  with  the  band  Public  Fax    | 
afterwards.    The  Homeconring  committee  '{ 
did  a  superb  job  decorating  the  newly  dedi- 
cated Athletic  Complex  in  Mardi  Gras  style, 
and  provided  an  excellent  buffet  with  deli- 
cacies that  Augusta  College  always  will  re- 
member as  Homecoming  1992.

Battle  for  control  of 
the  board:  Jermaine 
Henegan  (#21)  and 
the  Jags  vs.  Georgia 
College. 


The  gym  was 
packed  to  watch  the 
AC  Jags  beat  the 
Georgia  College 
Colonials. 


All  these  years, 
the  Augusta  College  basket- 
ball games  have  lacked  one 
important  fan-  an  active  Au- 
gusta College  mascot!  Stu- 
dents, faculty  and  even  the 
public  fans  have  wondered 
why  the  Jaguar  mascot  has 
not  existed.  Well,  since  the 
homecoming  game  of  Au- 
gusta College  on  February 
15, 1992  they  did  not  have  to 
wonder  anymore.  During 
the  half-time  of  the  home- 
coming game  featuring  Au- 
gusta College  VS  Georgia 
College,  Al  E.  Cat  was  named 
the  Augusta  College  mascot. 

A  total  of  258  dif- 
ferent mascot  names  were 
submitted.  Jazzy,  Paws, 
Jammin'  Jac,  A.C.'ey  and  Al 
E.  Cat  were  the  top  five 
choices. 

Homecoming  was 
a  fun  and  exiting  night  for 
everyone,  especially  for 
Grady  Leonard  who  received 
$50  for  coming  up  with  the 
mascot'sname,AlE.Cat!  The 
mascot  suit  was  generously 
paid  for  by  an  Augusta  Col- 
lege Alumni.

Where  is  the  "Chateau"? 
That  is  the  first  obstacle  to  be 
met  when  an  adventurous  stu- 
dent decides  to  put  his  ego  on 
the  hne  and  audition  for  an  AC 
theatre  production.  That  yel- 
low storage  house  has  intimi- 
dated many  aspiring  actors.  Is 
it  the  building  itself  or  the  abuse 
that  is  rumored  to  take  place 
within  its  four  walls  that  fright- 
ens even  the  most  self-actual- 
ized artist?  The  answer  can  only 
be  revealed  when  one  dares  to 
darken  the  doorway. 

From  that  moment  on, 
your  soul,  and  any  hopes  of  a 
dramatic  career,  are  left  to  the 
mercy  of  your  "dear  uncle",  as 
Dr.  Gene  Muto  is  known  to 
Drama  majors.  (Beware  to  any 
Georgia  native  hopefuls,  who 
will  undoubtedly  be  berated  for 
a  southern  accent;  his  bark  is 
worse  than  his  bite.)  On  one 
end  of  the  room,  we  have  the 


lion's  den,  or  more  specifically 
Gene's  corner. 


"The  whole  process  of  au- 
ditioning, being  cast,  and 
acting  in  a  play  is  to- 
gether terrifying  and  ex- 
citing. The  terror 
dimishes,  though,  when 
the  electricity  on  open- 
ing night  surges  within 
everyone. " 

Charla  Huck 

In  perfect  view  of  the 
hunter,  his  prey  anxiously 
awaits  the  call  for  the  next  vic- 
tim. It's  fun  to  watch  the  line  - 
up:  The  newcomers  intimidated 
by  the  old  hands;  the  old  hands 


intimidated  by  the  new  blood 
that  could  be  their  replacement. 
What  seemed  like  a  game  on 
one  side  of  the  room,  stops  in 
the  long  walk  to  the  slaughter- 
house. How  can  I  make  him 
think  I  am  the  part?  How  can  I 
get  through  this  aUve? '  'Sit  down 
and  read."  That's  the  next  ob- 
stacle. "Not  interpret  this  line," 
"become  this  character"  or  "let 
me  see  you  do  this,"  it's  just 
"READ."  It  takes  a  while  to 
understand  this  concept,  but 
the  director  must  know  above 
all  else  if  this  would-be  thes- 
pian  can  hear  inflections  and 
follow  instructions.  That  is  his 
cue,  as  to  the  extent  to  which 
this  lump  of  clay  can  be  molded, 
and  the  difficulty  of  the  task 
before  him.  "I  learned  how  to 
actually  move  my  lips,  tongue 
and  teeth  when  speaking.  It  was 
like  some  weird  oral  ballet. 
Sometimes  though,  the  danc- 
ers would  trip  and  there  I  was, 
back  to  saying  'git'  instead  of 
'get'  and  'ah'  instead  of  'I-ee', 
but  a  few  bellows  from  Dr. 
Muto,  and  constant  fear  of  his 
diction  stick,  rather  thick  piece 
of  do  welling  with  a  strip  of  red 
fabric  at  the  top,  and  I  soon 
began  to  monitor  my  diction 
much  more  carefully,"  said  Dale 
Thomas,  who  has  been  in  a  num- 
ber of  productions  at  AC. 

Read,  stutter,  fidget, 
squeak,  but  read—then  look  up 
and  search  hiseyesforapproval, 
only  to  hear,  "Good,  the  cast  list 

continued  on  pg.  32

(contmued  from  pg  31) 

will  be  up  tomorrow,  you  can 
go  now."  It's  over,  and  you 
know  that  you  won't  get  any 
sleep  until  you  see  the  cast  list. 
Now  comes  the  real  acting-  ly- 
ing to  your  comrades  about 
how  it  wasn't  as  bad  as  you 
thought  it  would  be.  You  then 
realize  the  hard  part  is  yet  to 
come-  THE  WAIT!!  You  leave 
and  go  home  trying  to  keep 
busy,  telling  yourself  you  prob- 
ably wouldn't  have  time  to  be 
in  a  play  anyway  -  you  know 
the  rumors  of  the  hard  work. 
Before  you  know  it,  you  have 
lived  the  longest  night  of  your 
life  and  morning  is  still  three 
hours  away!  You  don't  have  an 
eight  o'clock  class,  but  you  come 
to  school  early  -  to  study-  and 
you  decide  to  do  it  in  Butler 


"An  ego's  greatest  ex- 
ercise is  the  audition- 
ing process  where  it 
Hes  in  the  hands  of 
someone  who  has  the 
power  to  decide  what 
ones  attitude  will  be 
throughout  the  quar- 
ter or  possibly  the  rest 
of  their  lives." 

Greg  Toomey 

Hall  -  even  though  your  first 
class  is  in  Markert.  Now,  this 
isn't  a  ploy  to  check  the  cast  list, 
which  you  know  you're  not  on 
anyway.  Of  course  while  you're 


there  you  might  as  well  check 
the  Theatre  News  bulletin 
board,  just  to  see  who  did  get 
on.  Walk  casually  by  -  don't 
stop,  and  glance  over  your 
shoulder  as  you  pass  by.  Wait! 
Was  that  my  name?  Still  don't 
stop-  keep  going  -  put  your 
stuff  in  the  snack  bar  and  come 
up  with  an  excuse  to  walk  by 
again.  A  pencil  sharpener,  must 
find  a  pencil  sharpener.  This 
time  walk  by  slower  and  when 
you  are  sure  your  name  is  there 
and  you  haven't  been  rejected- 
you  can  stop  and  bask  in  the 
glory.  Maybe  someone  will 
pass-  of  course  you  can't  look 
too  surprised.  You  must  bal- 
ance your  confidence  with  hu- 
mility- WOW!  HE  LIKES  ME!

Oh,  those  nasty  little  f  our- 
letter  words!  Your  mama 
warned  you  never  to  say  them, 
but  these  days  there  is  one  little 
four-letter  word  that  is  uttered 
everyday  on  college  campuses 
and  is  never  far  from  people's 
minds  -AIDS. 

Acquired  Immune  Defi- 
ciency Syndrome  is  what  the 
AIDS  acronym  stands  for,  but 
fear  and  concern  are  what  the 
acronym  evokes. 

The  saga  of  the  AIDS  vi- 
rus haunts  the  minds  of  college 
students  as  its  mystery  contin- 
ues. There  are  so  many  un- 
knowns about  the  disease  and 
the  mechanisms  through  which 
it  is  spread  that  the  only  cer- 
tainty that  students  do  have 
about  the  disease  is  that  they 
certainly  are  confused. 

Not  only  are  there  ques- 
tions regarding  how  virus  is 
actually  spread,  though  unsafe 
sex,  intravenous  drug  use  and 
blood  transfusion  have  target 
as  the  primary  means,  there  is 
also  so  much  confusion  about 
who  does  or  who  does  not  have 
AIDS  because  of  the  prolonged 
incubation  period  of  the  HIV 
virus  which  causes  AIDS.  A 
person  infected  with  the  HIV 
virus  may  not  even  acquire 
AIDS  for  up  to  ten  years  after 
being  initially  infected  thus 
leaving  a  great  many  questions 
in  the  victim's  mind  and  in  the 
minds  of  all  those  whom  he  is  in 
contact  with. 

A  survey  oi  blood 
samples  from  patients  at  tol- 
legf  ( linics  in  the  United  States 
during  the  88-89  academic  year 
found  that  one  in  500  tested 
positive  fori  II V  with  numbers 


steadily  increasing  as  the  days 
have  gone  by. 

These  increasing  numbers 
have  provoked  increasing  cau- 
tion in  terms  of  the  dating  and 
sexual  activities  of  college  stu- 
dents and  Augusta  College  stu- 
dents are  no  exception. 

"It  is  the  primary 
concern  I  have  when 
even  attempting  or 
considering  a  long- 
term  relationship  and 
as  far  as  routine  dat- 
ing, a  person's  past 
can  make  or  break  their 
chance. " 

Michael  Schepis 

An  anonymous  male 
sophomore  said,  "It  doesn't  re- 
ally affect  me  because  I'm  a 
Christian.  I  practice  100%  absti- 
nence, and  even  for  those  who 
do  use  condoms,  condoms  are 
only  80%  effective  so  you  are 
still  putting  a  20%-  gamble  on 
your  life.  1  think  abstinence 
should  be  the  primary  consider- 
ation to  protect  yourself  Uom 
AIDS,  and  if  not,  definitely  use  a 
condom." 

junior  Jason  Maples  feels, 
"Ithinkithassignificantly  trans- 
formed cultural  attitudes  to- 
ward casual  sex.  We  are  defi- 
nilily  learning  about  the  imme- 
di.ile  consequences  of  our  ac- 
tions, but  we  a  re  also  now  forced 


to  consider  the  long-term/ 
long-reaching  effects  of  what 
we  do.  I  think  we  are  realizing 
that  we  really  haven't  matured 
in  our  sexual  attitudes,  and 
AIDS  is  really  causing  an 
awakening.  We  have  had  to 
start  redefining  our  principles 
and  moral  values.  I  think  it  has 
really  thrown  a  monkey- 
wrench  into  the  sexual  revolu- 
tion what  we  truly  value  in 
our  necessity  and  dependence 
on  one  another.  This  is  just  one 
major  issue  that  causes  us  to 
think  about  human  fragility; 
AIDS  crosses  racial  boundaries 
and  affects  everyone  equally. 
Instead  of  finger-pointing, 
there  should  be  a  great  deal 
more  banding  together  occur- 
ring." 

The  awareness  of  AIDS 
has  steadily  increased  over  the 
years  and  amongst  the  colle- 
giate population  as  the  dis- 
ease has  spread.  There  still 
exists  a  great  deal  of  confusion 
and  fear  in  1 992,  but  with  AIDS 
Education  Campaigns  such  as 
those  embarked  on  by  the  Bell 
Ringer  staff  and  the  National 
Committee  on  AIDS  aware- 
ness, the  issue  is  becoming  far 
more  a  matter  of  caution  and 
precaution  than  fear  and  con- 
cern. People  like  Ryan  White 
and  Magic  Johnson  have 
helped  us  realize  the  implica- 
tions of  AIDS  and  the  strength 
and  education  needed  to  deal 
with  the  disease.  They  have 
shown  us  that  we  have  to  band 
together  if  we  are  to  combat 
thediseaseandtheonly  means 
of  achieving  this  is  through 
education  and  understanding.

When  people  think 
back  on  their  college  careers, 
it  is  not  their  grade  point  aver- 
age that  comes  to  mind,  but 
rather  the  various  clubs  and 
organizations  they  took  part 
in. 

This  past  year,  Au- 
gusta College  offered  numer- 
ous activities  (40  in  all)  rang- 
ing from  fraternities  and  so- 
rorities to  intramurals  sports 
to  student  publications. 

Whether  the  student's 
interest  lies  in  drama,  music, 
writing  or  sports,  AC  offers 
something  for  everyone. 

While  many  students 
choose  not  to  get  involved, 
others  actively  participate. 

"In  my  opinion,  you 
are  not  getting  your  money's 
worth  if  you  come  to  school, 
go  to  classes,  and  then  drive 
home  as  soon  as  they  are 
over,"  states  John  Groves,  Di- 
rector of  Student  Activities  at 
AC.  In  Groves'  opinion,  stu- 
dents who  have  been  involved 
in  various  organizations 
learned  more  than  most  text- 
books could  ever  teach  them. 
"Most  of  the  lessons  of  life  are 
learned  outside  of  school." 
Many  active  students  agreed 
with  this  assessment. 

Alyson  Creed,  a  re- 
cent graduate  of  AC,  got  in- 
volved in  the  Sociology  Club 
and  her  fraternity  to  get  to 
know  people.  "Time  spent  at 
AC  was  a  lot  less  boring  when 
there  was  more  than  just 


studying  to  do." 

Besides  meeting  new 
friends,  campus  activities 
hold  other  advantages  as  well. 

Presently  working  for 
Stout  &  Company,  Creed 
hopes  that  her  activities  por- 
tray her  as  someone  who 
wants  to  get  involved  and  be 
active  in  her  new  job. 

Lisa  Larger,  a  senior 
and  former  homecoming 
queen  at  AC,  agreed  that  get- 
ting involved  on  campus 
greatly  benefits  her  career. 
"Until  you  put  your  skills  into 
practice,  it  is  important  to  be 
in  contact  with  people  who 
may  help  in  the  future,"  states 
Larger. 

While  clubs  and  orga- 
nizations are  an  exciting  part 


JO  Stu^li^ 


of  college  Hfe,  grades  should 
not  be  put  in  jeopardy.  "Ac- 
tivities should  not  be  done  at 
the  expense  of  your  grades." 
adds  Groves.  While  this  is 
definitely  true.  Creed  believes 
her  participation  made  her  a 
better  student.  "I  had  less 
time  to  procrastinate." 

At  AC,  the  lack  of 
participation  could  be  attrib- 
uted, in  part,  to  students  not 
living  on  campus.  In  other 
colleges,  there  is  more  school 
spirit  because  students  eat, 
sleep  and  study  together.  This 
fact  should  not  discourage 
students  but,  "students  who 
don't  get  involved  at  AC  are 
missing  out  on  a  lot,  "states 
Creed.

Philanthropic  endeav- 
ors seemed  to  ha\'e  been  popular 
extracurricular  activities  among 
the  students  at  Augusta  College. 
From  working  with  children  with 
Multiple  Sclerosis  to  Adopting- 
a-highway,  many  students  par- 
ticipated in  their  community  and 
showed  what  big  hearts  they  had. 

In  the  case  of  Pi  Kappa 
Phi  it  was  a  big  "bleeding"  heart. 
They  have  sponsored  blood 
drives  for  the  Shepeard's  Com- 
munity Blood  Center  for  the  past 
three  quarters  with  their  last  one 
held  in  March.  It  collected  a 
record-breaking  148  units  of 
blood.  Member  Jeff  Caubb  said 
that  being  a  part  of  this  charity 
made  him  feel  great,  "But  not 
only  just  because  of  a  personal 
feeling  you  get  knowing  that  you 
are  helping  others,  but  also  it 
gives  people  (AC  students  and 


faculty)  a  chance  to  see  their  fra- 
ternities as  more  than  just  parties 
and  kegs." 

Being  big  hearted  was 
not  the  only  reason  for  having 
participated  in  a  charity.  Many 
students  had  more  practical  pur- 
poses. Alysia  Barja,  a  23  year-old 
Communications  major,  chose  to 
serve  her  internship  with  the 
March  of  Dimes  to  promote  their 
Walk-a-Thon,  because  she  said, 
"It  really  incorporated  every- 
thing I  studied  as  far  as  my  major 
is  concerned."  One  of  her  duties 
was  enlisting  the  help  of  other 
students  who  she  said  were 
happy  to  volunteer.  "They  were 
very  excited  and  very  energetic 
about  wanting  to  help  out  in  any 
way  they  could,"  said  Barja 

One  of  those  volunteers 
was  Venecia  Chancey,  a  commu- 
nications major,  who  helped  with 


the  promotion  of  the  Walk-a- 
Thon  for  the  March  of  Dimes.  "It 
makes  me  feel  good  that  I'm  do- 
ing something  to  help  someone 
else  and  at  the  same  time  it  will 
look  good  on  my  resume  that  I 
participated  in  this  and  also  that 
it  gives  me  a  chance  to  use  my 
classroom  abilities  in  a  practical 
situation.  It  also  gives  me  a 
chance  to  use  my  leadership 
qualities  and  to  further  develop 
them." 

Some  clubs  and  organi- 
zations require  themselves  to  be 
involved  in  charities.  For  ex- 
ample, Zeta  Tau  Alpha,  as  a  rule, 
must  participate  in  some  philan- 
thropic activity  at  least  once  a 
month.  And  there  are  many  other 
groups  with  similar  regulations, 
but  most  volunteer  out  of  a  sense 
of  civic  duty.  Kay  Phillips,  the 
Assistant  Director  of  Student 
Activities,  said,  "I  think  it  re- 
flected really  well  on  the  school 
and  I  think  it  said  something 
about  our  students  too,  that  they 
are  responsible  citizens  and  com- 
munity-minded, that  they  are 
civic-oriented  and  want  to  do 
things  for  others." 

The  list  of  charities  that 
students  got  involved  in  seemed 
to  be  as  endless  as  the  Chinese 
population  census.  Students 
volunteered  themselves  in  a  cata- 
log of  charities  that  could  be 
ranged  from  Toys  for  Tots  to  dis- 
tributing condoms,  or  from  build- 
ing playgrounds  for  handicapped 
kids  to  picking  up  trash  on  a 
highway.  Whatever  the  cause, 
AC  students  proved  their  worth 
as  valuable  members  of  the  com- 
munity. In  so  doing  they  have 
enlarged  their  hearts  and  made 
them  beat  stronger.

What  do  you  want  to 
do  for  the  rest  of  your  life? 

This  question 

prompted  the  formation  of  the 
Start-Up  Center  at  Augusta 
College.  The  Center  is  designed 
to  help  freshman  and  sopho- 
more students  decide  upon  a 
major. 

"It  is  a  statistical  fact 
nationwide,  that  students  who 
do  not  decide  a  major  by  their 
junior  year  are  at  risk  for  not 
staying  in  school,"  said  Tim 
Bond,  one  of  the  Academic 
Advisors  at  the  Center. 

"All  Augusta  College 
students  must  declare  a  major 
by  the  time  they  have  90  hours 
of  course  credits,"  Bond  said. 
"After  they  reach  junior  status, 
they  are  not  suppose  to  be  at 
the  center  anymore." 

Most  of  the  advised 


students  are  freshman.  "There  is 
approximately  500  that  are  cur- 
rently being  advised,"  said  Kathy 
Thompson,  Director  of  the  Start- 
up Center. 

The  Center  practices  in- 
trusive advising.  "Not  just  see- 
ing students  for  class  schedules, 
but  follow  them  and  keep  track 
of  what  they  are  doing,"  Thomp- 
son said. 

"During  freshman  pre- 
registration  we  make  sure  they 
have  everything  they  need  and 
the  orientation  staff  wears  badges 
so  Start-Up  students  will  know 
who  to  ask  for  information," 
Thompson  said. 

The  center  has  begun 
two  new  workshops  that  link  stu- 
dents to  the  basics  of  deciding  a 
major.  Major  Decisions  101  is  the 
first  step  in  planning  a  major. 
Gallery  of  Majors  is  a  listing  of 


all  majors  offered  in  each  depart- 
ment and  expected  salary  ranges. 

"The  Center  issues  an 
advisory  newsletter  to  the  pro- 
fessors so  they  can  call  us  if  they 
need  something,"  Bond  said. 
"They  have  been  really  support- 
ive." 

"We  didn't  know  what 
to  expect,  but  the  program  has 
worked  really  well,"  Bond  said. 

The  Start-Up  Center  was 
organized  by  the  Committee  on 
Advising  and  Committee  on  Re- 
tention. It  was  not  officially  op- 
erating until  Fall  1991. 

In  the  past,  students 
were  assigned  a  departmental 
counselor  by  their  last  name.  The 
Start-Up  Center  gives  them  a 
place  to  go  when  they  can't  an- 
swer the  big  question.

It's  8  a.m.  and  the  dead- 
line is  only  24  hours  away  and 
we  still  have  70  pages  to  go.  The 
staff  is  dashing  around  asking 
one  another  questions  such  as: 
Are  the  pictures  in?  Can  you 
think  of  a  caption?  What  club  is 
this?  Anyone  have  a  story  to  fill 
these  two  pages?  Will  you  proof 
this  for  me? 

What  exactly  goes  into 
making  the  yearbook  a  success? 
EVERYTHING!  Everything 
from  picking  out  that  awesome 
picture  which  sums  up  the  year 
to  filling  those  blank  pages  with 
exciting  copy,  pictures  and  cap- 
tions and  ads. 

Being  a  part  of  the  year- 
book staff  is  innovating  and 
exciting  and  hard  work  all  at 
the  same  time.  Staff  members 
must  know  a  yearbook  produc- 
tion inside  out.  Everything  from 
cropping  photos  and  produc- 


ing pages  with  desktop  pub- 
lishing to  time  management  to 
meet  deadlines. 

The  White  Columns 
traditionally  comes  out  in  the 
fall,  thus  exposing  activities 
such  as  Homecoming  and  June 
gradation  and  all  the  activities 
in  between.  We  try  to  cover  the 
different  clubs  and  organiza- 
tions at  Augusta  College,  the 
new  classes  or  sports  highlights 
and  the  general  student  life. 
The  yearbook  also  includes  a 
section  entitled  community/ 
mini-mag  where  subjects  of  the 
local  community  and  the  world 
are  featured. 

Trying  to  identify  the 
guy  in  the  fourth  row  may  not 
matter  to  just  anyone  but  it  does 
matter  to  the  yearbook  staff. 
While  most  people  would  say, 
"nobody  will  care  if  he  has  a 
name",  the  yearbook  staff  says, 


"We  think  he'd  care."  Because 
of  this  staff  members  will  go 
out  of  their  way  to  find  his 
name  and  to  make  sure  it  is 
spelled  correctly  (usually). 

When  asked  how  she 
joined  the  staff,  Debi  Deeder 
said,  "I  walked  in  wanting  to 
take  pictures  for  the  yearbook 
last  year  and  I  ended  up  doing 
the  academic  section.  I  enjoy 
being  on  the  staff  and  design- 
ing layouts  and  creating  things 
on  PageMaker."  Nilam  Patel 
added,  "Working  on  the  year- 
book, has  given  me  the  chance 
to  use  my  creativity  and  hope- 
fully produce  eye-catching  lay- 
outs. " 

The  staff  shares  one 
goal,  making  a  difference  for 
the  Augusta  College  commu- 
nity.

Most  people  are  just  falling 
lut  of  bed  bv  the  time  their  alarms 
;o  off  at  seven  but  one  group  of 
tudents  have  already  seen  the 
unrise  -  pushing  themselves  be- 
ond  reasonable  limits  in  order 
3  achieve  a  goal.  Chances  are 
ou've  probably  seen  them 
round  campus  -  clad  in  their 
weatshirts  and  talking  about 
nything  from  the  intense  morn- 
ng  practice,  the  Red  Hot  Chili 
'eppers  CD  to  Impressionism, 
he  latest  flicks  or  maybe  an  up- 
oming  Regatta.  Maybe  vou'\'e 
aken  notice  of  the  unusually  alert 
thlete  Ln  your  earlv  morning 
lass.  Thev  are  members  of  the 
Augusta  College  Rowing  Team, 
he  largest  club-sport  on  campus 
nd  their  goal  is  simple  -  to  be 
he  best. 

The  AC.  Rowing  Team  has 
ome  a  long  way  from  the  origi- 
al  group  of  people  rowing  for 
un.  Rebecca  Dent,  a  member  of 
ast  years  medal  winning  var- 
ity  lightweight  four  and  cox- 


swain of  the  novice  lightweight 
four  reminisces,  "We  all  just 
started  off  this  being  a  fun,  dif- 
ferent thing  to  do."  She  added, 
"We  didn't  know  what  we  were 
getting  into."  In  the  first  year,  the 
women's  crew  sent  a  lightweight 
four  to  Philadelphia  to  compete 
in  the  Dad  Vail  Regatta.  The  Dad 
Vail  is  the  largest  collegiate  crew 
event  in  the  U.S.  attracting 
schools  from  across  the  country. 
The  following  year  both  the  men's 
and  women's  crew  raced  a  light- 
weight four  and  a  heavyweight 
four.  In  1991,  the  entire  team 
raced  on  the  Schuylkill  River  with 
the  men's  and  women's  light 
fours  advancing  to  the  semi-fi- 
nals. 

In  October  1990,  the  light- 
weight men  and  women  trav- 
eled to  Boston  for  the  prestigious 
Head  of  the  Charles  -  the  largest 
of  the  fall  head  races. 

Aside  from  the  Dad  Vail  and 
the  Charles,  the  team  competes 
at  the  Head  of  the  Chatahoochee 


during  the  fall  season  and  in  sev- 
eral 2000  meter  races  during  the 
spring.  Since  1990,  the  Crew  has 
racked  up  medals  at  the  Augusta 
invitational,  Atlanta  Rowing  Fes- 
tival, and  the  Southern 
Intercollegiate  Rowing  Associa- 
tion (SIRA)  Championship  in 
Oakridge,  Tennessee. 

The  1991-92  season  saw  the 
lossof  many  varsity  oarsmen.  In 
fact,  Rebecca  Dent  and  Kim 
Kanavage  of  last  year's  varsity 
lightweight  four  are  now  coxing 
the  women's  novice  boats.  The 
experiences  paid  off  as  both  the 
novice  lightweight  four,  known 
as  the  "pony-boat"  and  the  nov- 
ice open  four,  called  the  "horse- 
boat"  won  medals  early  in  the 
season  at  the  Augusta  Invita- 
tional Regatta.  The  men's  novice 
lightweight  four  also  kicked  off  a 
winning  season  by  winning  gold 
in  Augusta  beating  larger  schools 
like  Florida  Institute  of  Technol- 
ogy and  Tulane  University.  Au- 
gusta also  raced  its  first  competi- 


tive pair,  a  novice  heavyweight 
four  and  a  varsity  lightweight 
four. 

Rowing  is  a  very  unusual 
sport  in  several  ways.  The  most 
noticeable  is  that  oarsmen  spend 
their  time  sitting  down  and  mov- 
ing backwards.  The  team  also 
carries  its  own  oars  and  boat 
unlike  baseball  or  football.  There 
are  no  heroes  in  crew,  no  Most 
Valuable  Player  and  no  shot  for 
individual  glory.  The  oarsman 
is  simply  known  by  his  or  her 
seat  number  in  the  boat  and  ac- 
knowledged collectively  as  a 
pair,  a  four,  or  an  eight,  depend- 
ing on  the  number  of  people  in 
the  shell. 

Training  is  very  strenuous- 
rising  before  the  sunrise  and  row- 
ing into  the  sunset  are  not  un- 
common. The  team  is  expected 
to  run,  do  weights,  and  pull  erg 
pieces.  Practices  last  around  two 
hours  a  day,  six-days  a  week. 
The  actual  race  consists  of  2000 
meters  and  last  between  8  to  10

minutes.  That  may  not  seem  like  a 
long  time  but  it  is  what  goes  on  in 
those  eight  minutes  that  is  impor- 
tant. Rowers  must  move  together 
with  accuracy  and  good  technique. 
In  addition,  the  crew  must  fight 
both  mental  and  physical  fatigue. 
Many  regattas  require  you  to 
qualify  for  the  finals  -  it  is  not 
uncommon  to  row  two  or  three 
races  on  a  Saturday  -  not  to  worry-

steers  boats  and  calls  commands 
keeps  the  team  focused  and  moti- 
vated during  the  race. 

To  a  spectator,  rowing  may 
look  easy  but  everyone  had  to  work 
together  to  "set  up"  the  boat.  A 
boat  leaning  either  port  or  star- 
board can  slow  a  crew  down  and 
cause  an  oar  to  get  stuck  in  the 
water  making  the  oarsman  "catch 
a  crab".  Possessing  raw  strength 
isn't  enough-  rowers  must  have 
coordination,  balance,  and  a  great 
deal  of  spirit  to  force  their  bodies 
to  move  correctly  and  finish  the 
race. 

There  are  only  two  classifica- 
tions- lightweight  and  heavy- 
weight. Lightweight  for  women  is 
under  130  pounds  and  under  160 
pounds  for  men.  The  Heavy- 
weight (Known  as  "Open"  for 
women)  category  is  anything 
above  lightweight  race. 

Making  weight  is  an  impor- 
tant aspect  of  rowing  as  a  light- 
weight. When  Rebecca  Dent  be- 
gan rowing  she  weighed  132 
pounds.  Weighing  in  a  120  pounds 
she  said,  "I've  learned  to  cut  back 
on  red  meats,  sugars,  sweets,  and 
to  watch  my  fat  intake  in  foods." 
She  found  out  about  weigh-ins  the 
first  day  of  the  Dad  Vail.  "We 
wrapped  ourselves  in  plastic  gar- 
bage bags  and  went  for  a  run.  That 
removed  our  excess  water  weight," 
she  said.  All  made  weight.  If  a 
rower  fails  to  make  weight,  the 


entire  boat  is  disqualified  un- 
less an  alternate  be  substituted 
for  the  overweight  offender. 
Rowers  have  two  chances  to 
make  weight  -  the  night  before 
and  the  morning  of  race.  Shan- 
non Shelton  of  the  "ponies"  lost 
eleven  pounds.  "The  Rowing 
Team  had  given  me  the  motiva- 
tion to  eat  right,  to  get  in  shape, 
and  to  stay  in  shape,"  she  said. 
A  sensible  diet  is  crucial  in 
crew.  Rowers  eat  a  lot  of  pasta. 
Bagels  are  also  popular  crew 
cuisine.  It  is  not  an  uncommon 
sight  to  see  the  team  huddled 
together  around  the  trailer  ba- 
gels and  bananas  the  morning 
of  a  race.  The  team  also  likes  to 
eat  together  at  Vallarta's. 

There  is  more  to  the  Au- 
gusta College  Crew  that  just 
racing  and  having  a  good  time. 
Because  Crew  is  a  club  sport  at 
AC,  members  are  required  to 
raise  money  through  annual 
auctions,  erg-a-thons,  and  ticket 
raffles.  In  addition  to  money 
from  Student  Activities  fees,  the 
money  from  these  fund-raisers 
go  toward  buying  new  shells, 
oars,  cox-boxes,  and  tools  to 
keep  the  boat  well-maintained. 
"The  small  investment  that  the 
Student  Activities  had  made 
had  reaped  benefits  at  least  ten- 
fold,"  said  John  Groves,  Direc- 
tor of  Student  Activities  and 
rowing  enthusiast. 

In  addition  to  rowing  and 
school,  most  of  the  team  works. 
"Practice  takes  up  a  lot  of  my 
spare  time  but  in  the  end,  it's 
worth  it,"  said  Jeff  Smith  of  the 
gold  medal  Novice  Lightweight 
four.  Tony  Miller,  president  of 
the  team  is  a  busy  guy.  In  addi- 
tion to  school  rowing,  and 
work,  he  serves  on  the  Student 
Ambassador  Board.  It's  hard 
but  it  makes  it  worthwhile-  it's 


a  good  break  from  school  and 
work.  Ifyou'rededicatedtocrew, 
then  you'll  find  time,"  he  said. 

The  coaching  staff  is  com- 
posed of  volunteers  committed 
to  the  goal  of  making  AC  the 
best.  P.P.  Meehan,  a  corporate 
insurance  salesman  for  Insurance 
Services  of  Augusta  and  the  head 
coach  explains  his  involvement, 
"It's  a  good  sport  with  good  kids. 
They  work  hard, "  adding  "You 
tend  to  help  those  willing  to  help 
themselves."  He  coached  the 
novice  women's  program  at  prac- 
tices starting  at  5;45  a.m.  and 
made  sure  that  any  boats  need- 
ing repairs  received  them.  Matt 
Evers,  former  rower  at 
Worchestor  Polytech  Institute 
and  Men's  coach  is  another  one 
making  a  sacrifice.  In  addition  to 
weekday  practices,  Evers  spent 
Saturday  mornings  and  Sunday 
afternoons  drilling  technique  into 
the  minds  of  his  men.  John  & 
Mary  Patterson  also  help  to  make 
the  team  successful  through  ad- 
ditional coaching,  encourage- 
ment, and  handy-work  in  the 
boathouse. 

"It's  been  nice  to  see  such  a  small 
program  grow  from  10  to  30 
members  in  less  than  3  years  with 
one  of  the  strongest  novice  teams 
in  the  South,"  said  Dan  Dent, 
member  of  the  original  heavy- 
weight four  and  bow-seat  of  this 
year's  pair.  "The  college  students, 
high  school  students,  and  area 
businesses  are  in  a  highly  suc- 
cessful venture.  Everybody 
wins,"  said  Groves.  He  goes  on 
to  say,  "The  beautiful  thing  is 
that  you  have  a  lot  of  people 
involved  who  aren't  financially 
rewarded  they're  doing  it  be- 
cause they  love  it.  It's  obviously 
rewarding  otherwise  they 
wouldn't  put  all  those  hours  into 
it.  Michael  Donehoo

Graduate  school  en- 
rollments at  Augusta  College 
over  the  past  two  years  have 
not  been  so  much  a  product  of 
the  sluggish  economy,  but  as  a 
result  of  other  factors.  Both 
professional  trends  and  new 
programs  caused  most  of  the 
influx.  Statistics  point  out  that 
80%  of  AC  graduates  stay  in  the 
area  after  completing  their 
course  work.  All  of  the  gradu- 
ate departments  agree  that 
Augusta  is  a  good  job  market; 
therefore,  the  school  has  had 
higher  total  enrollments. 

"There  are  some  stu- 
dents that  come  back  because 
of  the  poor  economy,"  says  Pro- 
fessor Holloman  of  the  MBA 
program.  "The  notion  that 
when  the  economy  is  bad,  en- 
rollment is  good,  has  some 
truth,"  said  Holloman.  How- 
ever, Miyoko  Jackson  in  gradu- 
ate admissions  of  the  MBA  pro- 
grams cites  two  concrete  rea- 
sons for  more  MBA  students. 
"Nurses  now  want  to  pursue 
more  administrative  positions 
in  part  due  to  the  possibility  of 
contracting  A.I.D.S.  and  also  to 
have  more  responsible  posi- 
tions in  a  hospital  environment 
that  is  becoming  increasingly 
more  business  oriented .  In  1 989, 
enrollment  rose  50%  because  of 
Westinghouse  coming  to  the 
area.  This  year  graduate  en- 
rollment will  be  approximately 
70  students  in  the  business 
school.  In  all,  enrollment  has 
been  stable  since  1983,  includ- 
ing a  male  to  female  ratio  of 
3:2."  Jackson  adds  that  grade 


point  averages  of  admitted  can- 
didates are  slightly  higher  than 
last  year. 

Professor  of  Psychol- 
ogy Harold  Moon  is  very  opti- 
mistic about  AC'S  Psychology 
Master  degree.  He  too  cites  the 
poor  economy  as  a  possible  in- 
fluence in  increased  enrollment. 
However,  for  his  department 
graduate  studies  have  been  in- 
creasing over  the  past  five 
years.  "Today,  if  you  want  to 
make  more  money,  you  have  to 
get  a  Ph.D.  You  can't  hang  out 
your  shingle  as  a  psychologist 
in  most  states,  including  Geor- 
gia, without  a  Ph.D.  Augusta 
College  gives  local  students  a 
chance  to  work  toward  their 
Ph.D  and  stay  in  Augusta,  while 
maintaining  their  jobs  and  fami- 
lies. Many  students  try  to  go 
from  the  undergraduate  psy- 
chology degree  to  a  doctoral 
program  in  the  area  to  assure  a 
higher  paying  job,  especially  in 
the  government."  Moon  adds 
that  the  average  age  of  stu- 
dents pursuing  a  Masters  de- 
gree in  psychology  in  the  late 
twenties.  Many  are  people  who 
want  a  change  in  career.  Nurs- 
ing and  Business  graduates 
don't  seem  to  mind  the  drop  in 
pay  for  the  personal  satisfac- 
tion they  get  from  their  new 
area  of  study.  Helping  others  in 
counseling,  mental  hospitals 
and  at  VA  hospitals,  can  be 
very  rewarding.  Another  ma- 
jor reason  many  students  en- 
roll in  graduate  programs  is  to 
boost  their  grade  point  aver- 
ages and  GRE  scores  to  help  get 


into  a  good  doctoral  program. 
Professor  Joseph 
Murphy,  Dean  of  the  School  of 
Education,  also  cites  the  com- 
plexities affecting  the  number 
of  graduate  students  in  the  edu- 
cation department.  "NCATE 
accreditation  loss  hurt  us  ini- 
tially, but  we  are  back  up  to 
previous  enrollment  figures. 
We  have  new  programs  such  as 
counseling,  special  education 
and  heath /physical  education. 
These  have  helped  to  broaden 
our  base  for  attracting  poten- 
tial graduate  students." 
Murphy  says  that  regaining 
accreditation  will  surely  be  re- 
alized. For  the  past  five  years 
Murphy  has  seen  steady  in- 
creases in  the  number  of  stu- 
dents in  the  Master  programs. 
People  working  that  have  an 


undergraduate  degree  come 
back  to  enhance  their  earning 
potential  with  a  Master.  In  June, 
AC  will  award  its  first  Master's 
degree  in  Heath  and  Physical 
Education. 

All  graduate  program 
spokespersons  at  Augusta  Col- 
lege agree  that  a  poor  economy 
can  increase  enrollment,  how 
ever  more  issues  were  respon 
sible  for  students  deciding  to 
enroll. 

One  vision  for  increas- 
ing the  number  of  students  in 
all  programs  was  expressed  by 
president  Richard  S.  Wallace 
during  the  fall  of  1990.  He  said, 
"I  would  Uke  to  see  Augusta 
College  develop  along  the  lines 
of  William  and  Mary.  It  is  a 
school  of  quality  we  can  emu- 
late."

be  useful  after  graduation.

"You  can't  wear  that!"  said 
Diane  Fennig,  Director  of  the 
Career  Center  at  Augusta  Col- 
lege, to  a  female  student  who 
had  come  into  the  center  to  inter- 
view for  an  intern  program. 
"Spandex  pants  and  stiletto 
heels- 1  don't  think  so."  The  real 
key  to  finding  success  after  col- 
lege comes  largely  through  the 
students'  own  efforts. 

To  start  their  job  search, 
students  take  advantage  of  the 
career  planning  and  placement 
activities  available  at  AC.  The 
Placement  Office  provides  a  wide 
range  of  services  in  which  stu- 
dents are  encouraged  to  partici- 
pate. Some  of  the  services  pro- 
vided include  job  placement  for 
seniors,  post-bacs,  graduate  stu- 
dents and  alumni;  career  coun- 
seling, resume  writing  and  cri- 
tiquing, interviewing  techniques 
and  job  search  strategies;  resume

referrals,  part-time  and  full-time 
job  postings. 

"We're  a  spring  board  to 
the  real  world,"  said  Fennig. 
"Some  people  don't  want  to  ask 
for  help.  They  think  it's  beneath 
them."  Fennig's  advice  is,  "Get 
over  it!  Learn  to  network!" 

Cooperative  education  pro- 
grams are  available  for  quahfied 
students  (2.5  GPA  or  better). 
"There  is  a  possibility  of  earning 
$15,000  for  half  a  year  at  Savan- 
nah River  Site,"  said  Fennig.  "SRS 
had  650  applicants  for  their  sum- 
mer program.  Eighty  were  se- 
lected, and  eight  to  10  of  the  80 
were  AC  students." 

"Co-op  is  an  invaluable 
learning  process.  Not  only  do 
you  acquire  actual  experience 
doing  what  you  only  talk  about 
in  class,  but  you  learn  to  trust  in 
your  own  abilities,"  said  Lynn 
Brown,  Co-op  Student  -  CSRA 
Planning  Commission  and  Co- 
op Student  of  the  Year. 

"I  sent  resumes  every- 
where. I  couldn't  get  a  job,"  said 
Victoria  Jarnagin  after  graduat- 
ing with  a  BA  in  History  in  June, 
1991.  "1  had  an  internship  with 
Historic  Augusta  my  senior  year. 
I  was  going  to  graduate  school, 
but  couldn't  afford  it  without  a 
job." 

Many  graduates  find  il 
iiard  to  get  a  job  after  graduation, 
and  also  find  it  hard  to  get  into 
graduate  school  since  there  is  an 
influx  of  applicants  due  to  the 
soft  job  market.  "1  went  to  get  my 
eyes  examined,"  Jarnagin  said, 
"and  found  they  w\:.x^:  looking 
for  someone.  I  am  now  working 
for  that  optometrist.  1  have  ap- 
plied at  the  Medical  College  ol 
f  ;e()rgia,and  will  work  on  a  BSin 
Occupalion.il  rhiT,i|->y." 

Jarnagin, a l( )ng  with  other  gr.ul 1 1 


ates,  find  themselves  having  to 
go  into  different  fields  of  work 
and  study. 

I'm  looking  forward  to  find- 
ing a  job,"  said  Elizabeth 
Wilkinson,  a  Senior  Education 
major.  "I've  been  calling  princi- 
pals to  set  up  interviews  while 
doing  my  student  teaching. 
Middle  school  teaching  and  spe- 
cial education  are  still  good  fields 
to  get  into."  There  are  68  people 
student  teaching  from  the  AC 
School  of  Education. 

The  AC  Career  Library  in- 
cludes literature  pertaining  to 
career  information,  job-hunting 
techniques  and  strategies,  em- 
ployers and  employment  oppor- 
tunities, graduate  schools,  and 
current  salary  scales. 

According  to  the  Placement 
Office,  some  of  the  employers 
interested  in  AC  students  include 
the  State  of  Georgia,  Charter  Hos- 
pital,  C&S  Bank,  Columbia 
County  Schools,  IBM,  MCG, 
Richmond  County  Schools, 
Robinson-Humphrey,  CSRA 
Planning  Commission, 

Greenfield  Industries,  St.  Joseph 
Hospital,  U.  S.  Dept.  of  Energy, 
Westinghouse-SRS,  University 
Hospital,  Georgia  Power,  Fed- 
eral Paperboard,  and  Nutra 
Sweet. 

"With  over  three-fouths  of 
our  students  working,  our  Ca- 
reer Planning  and  Placement 
Office  plays  a  vital  role  on  cam- 
pus. Students  may  obtain  help  in 
finding  temporary,  part-time,  or 
full-time  career  opportunities 
that  will  allow  them  togain  valu- 
able work  experience.  All  stu- 
dents should  definitely  see  what 
the  Placement  Office  can  do  for 
them,"  said  Mary  K.  Lisko,  Pro- 
fessor, AC  Scht)ol  of  Business 
Aiiministration.

They  say  that  there  is 
one  constant  change.  Au- 
gusta College  is  certainly  no 
stranger  to  change,  with  an 
always-changing  student 
body  and  faculty. 

But  last  year,  AC 
graduation  also  underwent 
some  changes.  The  August 
commencement  ceremony 
was  moved  to  December, 
while  the  June  graduation  re- 
mained intact,  but  both 
moved  to  the  Augusta  Col- 
lege Athletic  Complex. 

"It  made  much  more 
sense  to  do  it  every  two  quar- 
ters rather  than  have  two 
close  together,"  said  John 
Schaeffer,  Professor  of  Music 
and  the  commencement  co- 
ordinator. "...For  one  thing 
we  were  running  out  of  room 
at  the  June  graduation." 

The  new  Athletic 
Complex  was  initiated  into 
the  ceremony  in  December. 
It  seemed  to  many  as  an  ideal 
place  to  hold  the  ceremony. 

People  weren't  disap- 
pointed. 

"It  went  remarkably 
well,"  said  Schaeffer.  "The 
biggest  problem  was  park- 
ing, but  Public  Safety  took 
care  of  that  and  did  so  admi- 
rably." 

Fred  Wharton,  Chair 
of  the  Languages  and  Litera- 
ture Department  and  also  in- 
volved in  the  graduation  cer- 
emony helped  with  the  De- 
cember ceremony. 


"Things  worked  very 
smoothly  in  December," 
Wharton  said  with  obvious 
excitement.  "I  was  delighted 
because  things  actually  went 
almost  like  clockwork.  I 
thought  it  was  a  very  good 
operation." 

But  with  good  things 
come  bad  things. 

"There  were  some 
sound  problems  and  I  don't 
know  who  solved  the  prob- 
lems, but  they've  certainly 
been  solved,"  said  Wharton. 
"There  was  some  reverb,  but 
I  don't  think  that's  avoid- 
able." 

Future  graduations 
will  be  held  in  the  Athletic 
Complex  or,  if  weather  per- 
mits, outdoors. 

The  Athletic  Com- 
plex is  a  good  location,  not 
only  for  graduates  and  fac- 
ulty, but  also  for  friends  and 
family. 

"It  will  be  able  to  ac- 
commodate people  in  some- 
what greater  comfort,"  said 
Schaeffer. 

The  overall  feeling 
around  Augusta  College  is 
that  the  gym  is  not  only  good 
for  sporting  events,  but  other 
activities  as  well. 

"Graduation  at  the 
gym  in  December  went  off 
with  few  hitches,"  stressed 
Schaeffer. 

So  the  December 
commencement  was  a  big 
success,  but  how  does  the 


later  graduation  affect  the 
graduates  chance  of  employ- 
ment after  their  classes  are 
completed? 

"The  fact  that  you 
graduate  in  December  does 
not  affect  your  status  as  a 
graduate,"  said  Schaeffer. 
"Graduation  is  a  formal  cer- 
emony. A  lot  of  people,  for 
one  reason  or  another,  aren't 
able  to  attend  graduation,  but 
we  will  certify  that  they  have 
completed  the  graduation  re- 
quirements as  soon  as  they 
have.  " 

Oh,  one  more  thing 
about  the  gym;  what  are  we 
going  to  call  it?

Augusta  College 
held  its  June  Graduation  on 
the  13th  at  10:00  a.m.  in  the 
college's  Physical  Education/ 
Athletic  Complex. 

Carolynn  Reid- 
Wallace,  the  Assistant  Secre- 
tary of  Education  for  Post- 
Secondary  Education  was  the 
commencement  speaker.  Dr. 
Reid-Wallace  is  responsible 
for  administering  the  federal 
government's  higher  educa- 
tion program. 

Approximately  360 
candidates  graduated  in  the 
college's  67th  commencement 
exercise,  and  had  the  oppor- 
tunity to  be  a  part  of  one  of 
the  most  stirring  speeches. 

Dr.  Reid-  Wallace 
started  off  the  commence- 


ment address  with  questions 
that  hit  home  for  many  Ameri- 
cans who  are  concerned  with 
the  Education  standard  of  the 
future:  "How  do  we  prepare 
the  next  generation  of  college 
students  for  the  world  that 
awaits  them?"  "How  do  we 
handle  the  ever  increasing  num- 
bers of  students  who  enter  col- 
lege ill-prepared  for  the  courses 
they  will  be  required  to  take?" 
Dr.  Reid-Wallace  summed 
these  questions  up  with  the 
answer  of:  standards,  which  are 
the  key  to  preparing  the  next 
generation  of  students.  Accord- 
ing to  Dr.  Reid-Wallace,  the 
buck  stops  at  higher  education. 
She  encouraged  students  to  re- 
alize that  education  is  vitally 
important  to  us. 


Above:  Graduatesare  pictured  hereanxiously 
a  waiting  the  commencement  exercises  to  be- 
gin.   As  pictured  here  graduates  do  many 
things  to  keep  themselves  occupied  during 
the  exercise. 

i  ..i  l.tii.  Kcilh  llcigood  .1  liathelor  o(  Science 
graduate  proudly  waves  to  family  and  friends 
in  theaudience.  Graduates  work  hard  to  finally 
see  the  day  where  it  is  all  over. 

Ij.fl.Circilyiiii  Kiid- Wallace  the  assisl.inl  mi  ■ 
rctary  of  education  was  the  speaker  for  the 
67th  commencement  exercises  for  Augusta 
College.  Dr.  Reid-Wallace  stressed  the  impor- 
tance of  the  value  of  education.

"hey  are  all  over  the  place.  What  are  these  things

ducation.  Even  though  these  students  may  share 
3me  similarities .  it's  hard  to  categorize  them.  They

Each  of  these  students  made  a  difference  at

A  group  of  22  Augusta  Col- 
■ge  students  and  staff  mem- 
>  banded  together  Septem- 
er  13-14  and  attacked  the 
)pe  course  at  Camp  Gra\'itt,

Their  assault  was  success- 
il,  and  they  returned  to  the 
impus  from  their  Leadership 
etreat  armed  with  impro\'ed 
adership  skills  and  a 
■newed  spirit  of  teamwork. 
"The  retreat  was  for  leader- 
lip,"  said  Beth  Castleberr\',  a 
ember  of  Student  Union  and 
~L'Cond-year  participant  in 
c  retreat.  "It  was  to  help 
.'.•.  leaders  establish  leader- 
lip  skills,  and  those  who 
i\e  established  skills  to 
larpen  or  better  their 
.ills." 

During  the  retreat,  partici- 
ints  were  required  to  tra- 
-Tse  series  of  rope  bridges 
ith,  and  at  times  without,  the 
■Ip  of  their  teammates.  There 
L-re  also  some  discussions 
,>out  leadership  and  exercises 


to  help  the  rope  climbers  get 
to  know  each  other  better. 

The  program  is  sponsored 
by  the  Office  of  Student  Activ- 
ities and  is  intended  to  give 
student  leaders  an  opportuni- 
ty to  build  a  sense  of  com- 
radery  and  confidence  to 
bring  back  to  AC. 

"What  we  were  thinking 
about  for  the  retreat  was  that 
it  would  he  an  energizer  and  a 
positi\'e  experience  for  the  stu- 
dent leaders  so  that  they 
would  come  back  ready  to 
take  on  the  world,"  said  Kay 
Phillips,  Assistant  Director  of 
Student  Activities.  "Hopefully 
it  got  them  to  know  us  better, 
for  them  to  be  comfortable 
with  us,  coming  to  us  with 
problems  or  questions." 

According  to  Castleberry, 
the  experience  was  rewarding 
and  valuable  lessons  came 
back  with  most  of  those  who 
attended. 

"We  had  to  work  as  a  team. 
We  had  to  be  dependent  on 


each  other  and  we  had  to  sup- 
port each  other.  I  think  that  is 
what  we  learned  there  to 
being  back  to  school,"  she 
said.

"Stick  Your  Neck  Out"  was  the 
theme  of  the  1991  conference. 
Natasha  Hendrix,  Al  Hamilton, 
Steve  Cain,  Mark  Baggett,  and  L,  G. 
Frey  were  a  handful  of  students  who 
worked  on  leadership  skills.

Wait  Disney  Co-Op 


Mickey's  calling. 

That's  right,  representatives 
from  Walt  Disney  World  in 
Orlando,  Fla.  visited  Augusta 
College  on  Feb.  5  looking  for 
recruits  to  work  during  the 
summer  and  Fall  quarters  in 
their  College  Program. 

Numerous  work  areas  were 


62 


available  to  students:  attrac- 
tions, tickets,  merchandise 
and  many  more  with  a  2.5 
GPA  to  apply. 

Housing  for  workers  dur- 
ing the  program  was  provid- 
ed at  Vista  Way,  with  two  and 
three  bedroom  apartments. 
Vista  Way  has  racquet  ball 
and  tennis  facilities,  two 
pools,  weight  room,  and  hot 
tubs.  Roomates  were  found 
from  around  the  world. 

Tim  Bond,  a  AC  alumnus 
who  took  part  in  the  program, 
shared  an  apartment  with  a 
Norwegian  and  a  German.  He 
worked  at  Disney  from  Jan- 
uary to  May  1990  as  a  "mer- 
chandise host  in  the  gift  shop, 
stocking  and  working  the 
cash  register. 

Bond  received  a  Ducktorate 
degree  for  "above  average 
work  and  attending  all  the 
seminars." 

The  training  in  the  program 


included  such  as  guest  ser 
vices  and  problem  solving 
All  with  great  experience  i) 
customer  service,  student 
earned  $5.30  per  hour  am, 
were  guaranteed  thirty  hour 
or  more  per  week.  Rent  wa 
taken  out  of  the  student 
weekly  paycheck.  Disney  pre 
vided  all  uniforms  and  laur 
dering  services.  : 

After  students  obtained 
position,  professional  semi 
nars  were  provided.  Al 
employees  were  able  to  visi 
the  Epcot  Center,  Disney  am; 
Disney  Studios  MGM  Them 
Park  free  with  I.  D. 

Interviewing  with  the  Dis| 
ney  representative  also  bene 
fited  students  who  were  look 
ing  for  employment  afte; 
graduation.  Disney  was  intei' 
ested  in  hiring  prospectiv 
graduates  to  work  in  Orlandc 
so  students  came  prepared  t 
start  a  career.  i

Ahcient  Artifacts 

Black  Creek  Village  is  visited  by  AC  Archaeology  Minors 


\.^^^Ma         '(^ 


Archaeological.  This  may 
conjure  up  images  of  Indiana 
Jones  movies  in  the  minds  of 
many,  but  two  AC  students, 
Alison  Hurst,  a  Junior  Engi- 
neering major  and  Keith 
Rindt,  a  Senior  History 
major,  experienced  the  real 
thing  this  past  summer.  They 
spent  four  weeks  discovering 
and  digging  up  the  past  of  St. 
Catherine's  Island,  Georgia. 
They  both  are  minoring  in 
Anthropology  which  is  the 
field  of  study  that  includes 
Archaeology.  The  minor  is 
offered  by  the  Arts  and  Sci- 
ences Department. 

The  American  Museum  of 
Natural  History  in  New  York 
is  conducting  the  search  that 
will  continue  off  and  on  for 
the  next  three  years.  The  pur- 
pose of  the  search  is  to  dis- 
cover how  the  Indians  lived 


before  the  contact  with  the 
Spanish  and  perhaps  be  able 
to  reconstruct  their  lifestyle. 

"The  five  sites  being  exca- 
vated," Keith  explained, 
"were  representatives  of  con- 
tact and  precontact." 

They  issued  nondestruc- 
tive techniques  to  excavate 
the  site.  This  is  very  tedious 
work,  according  to  Hurst,  but 
it  helps  to  preserve  the  envi- 
ronment and  the  site  for  fur- 
ther archaeological  research. 
A  magnetometer  was  used  to 
detect  the  magnetic  field  at 
any  given  place.  This  enabled 
the  crews  to  produce  a  dot 
sensing  map  that  would  help 
to  generate  artifacts  and  the 
best  site  to  excavate.  One  site 
known  as  Black  Creek  Village 
was  the  principle  site  that 
Hurst  and  Rindt  worked  on. 

"They  were  not  looking  for 


anything  particular,"  Hurst 
said,  "just  some  structures, 
houses  or  where  paths  may 
have  been." 

There  were  seven  people 
on  the  site,  including  Hurst 
and  Rindt.  Because  as  Rindt 
said,  "you  cannot  have  too 
many  people  at  once"  or  the 
very  artifacts  that  were  being 
searched  for  could  be 
destroyed. 

Both  students  enjoyed  their 
experience  at  St.  Catherine's 
Island.  Hurst  "learned  about 
new  archaeological  tech- 
niques," and  why  those  sites 
are  so  important.  However, 
for  Rindt  this  was  a  taste  of 
his  career.  He  hopes  to  be  an 
archaeologist  someday.  This 
project  enabled  him  to  meet 
"a  lot  of  neat  people  and 
learn  about  remote  sensing" 
using   the   magnetometer. 


Their  four  weeks  were  def 
nitely  worth  it  to  both  of  th 
students. 

Hurst  and  Rindt  had  a 
opportunity  that  is  quickl 
vanishing  because  archaec 
logical  sites  are  becomin 
extinct.  The  crude  methods  c 
excavation  in  the  past  and  th 
uncertainty  of  public  interei' 
has  eroded  the  use  of  a  larg 
number  of  sites  for  archaec 
logical  study.  There  was  nc 
any  foresight  to  preserve  th 
sites  for  future  research. 

That  is  why  the  sites  th;: 
remain  are  so  importan 
They  enable  us  to  discovt 
the  lives  and  lifestyles  thii 
once  existed.  The  answers  \. 
many  questions  about  peop 
of  long  ago  are  buried  in  tl 
soil.

A  Look  at  CoM^ress 


L     l->JBu=^  -   j*^'w^.vu-i^ 


On  Feb.  25  over  30  Augusta 
lillege  students  and  faculty 
lumbers  embarked  on  a  trip 
I  the  State  Capitol  Building 
I  Atlanta. 

I  "Outstanding,  very  enlight- 

ling,"  said  Bill  Dunwoody, 

fnate  Parliamentarian  for 

Mgusta  College  SGA.   "1 

ish  we  had  more  time  in 

e    Senate    before    they 

joumed." 

After  a  roll  call  of  bills  and 
e  agenda  was  announced, 
iprescntati  ve  Donald 
leeks  from  the  89th  district 
et  the  group.  He  and  Ccor- 
Covemor  Zell  Miller  took 
Tie  out  to  pose  with  the 
oup  for  pictures.  Miller  was 
»t  available  for  questions. 
Cheeks  was  cordial,  sup- 
yjng  copies  of  the  agenda 


and  booklets  on  parliamen- 
tary procedure  and  taking 
time  out  to  answer  questions. 

Cheeks  said  the  state  lot- 
tery "is  a  bad  idea  because 
the  money  will  not  go  to  edu- 
cation, and  the  crime  rate  will 
increase." 

Ted  Turner,  owner  of  tele- 
vision stations  CNN,  WTBS 
and  TNT,  addressed  joint  ses- 
sion of  the  State  Congress. 
Governor  Miller  presented 
him  with  a  proclamation  stat- 
ing that  Feb.  25  was  officially 
"Ted  Turner  Day"  in  Georgia. 
Turner's  wife,  Jane  Fonda- 
Turner,  also  appeared. 

"Ted  and  Jane  made  liie 
day," said  Julie  Dunmire,  one 
student  who  attendcti 

The  house  had  sixti'iii  l)ills 
and  five  resolutions  on  their 


agenda  the  day  of  the  trip. 
House  Bill  124,  which  will 
ban  toxic  heavy  metals  in  the 
packaging  industry,  House 
Bill  1170,  which  will  require 
inmates  to  pay  for  medical 
services  received  while  incar- 
cerated and  House  Bill  1400, 
which  will  allow  excess  state 
money  to  go  into  a  savings 
account,  were  among  them. 

According  to  members  of 
the  group,  all  had  a  good 
time. 

"It  was  interesting,"  said 
Steve  Patch,  an  AC  freshman 
who  attended. 

Although  they  enjoyed  vis- 
iting the  Capitol,  Li/.beth 
Wheeler  and  Abby  Wood- 
ward expressed  some  doubts 
about  their  representatives. 
"We're  distressed  and  dis- 


d    v^.- : _ 

mayed  at  the  lack  of  female 
and  minority  representa- 
tives," said  Wheeler. 

"How  can  they  call  them- 
selves representatives?" 
asked  Woodward. 

Bonnie  Rousch  agreed 
when  Kritie  Germann 
assessed  the  trip.  "We  really 
enjoyed  seeing  what  goes  on 
behind  the  scenes,"  said  Ger- 
mann. "The  ushers  gave  us 
inside  information  on  who 
everybody  was  and  what  was 
going  on.  Representative 
Charles  W.  Yeargin  told  us 
what  it  takes  to  be  a  politi- 
cian: 'Make  your  fortune  first, 
and  get  involved  in  your 
community.  Look  tor  solu- 
tions, not  problems.'  "

I'll  bet  you're  wondering 
ist  exactly  where  to  take 
3ur  truckload  of  old  beer 
ms,  right?  OK,  maybe  not. 
ut  if  you  are,  your  pravers 
re  answered.  Recvcling 
'eek  at  Augusta  College  has 
■rived. 

"There's  a  big  demand 
3W,"  said  SGA  President  Al 
mailton.  "Everybody  is 
arth-conscious.'  Sum- 
;erville  is  just  starting  it 
ecycling),  so  Augusta  Col- 
ge  should  be  a  part  of  it." 

And  a  part  of  it  we  are. 
tiroughout  the  week  of  Sep. 
\-T7,  e\'ents  were  scheduled 
1  kick  off  the  fall  quarter 
cycUng  push  initiated  b\'  the 
jA.  Speakers  came  to  the 
impus  on  Monday,  Tuesday, 
liursday  and  Friday  and  a 
mtribution  competition  and 

"Can  Castle  Challenge" 


were  held  September  25. 

"You  had  to  ha\'e  a  certain 
number  of  aluminum  cans 
(for  the  Can  Castle  Challenge) 
and  were  given  a  certain 
amount  of  time  in  which  to 
build  your  castle.  The  groups 
attempted  to  build  the  highest 
can  castle,  and  there  were 
prizes  given  for  that,"  said 
Hamilton. 

Prizes  included  T-Shirts 
and  plants.  The  contribution 
competition  was  open  to  any 
campus  organization  or  indi- 
vidual who  wanted  to  enter. 

In  order  to  ease  the  difficul- 
ty of  recycling  on  campus, 
SGA  placed  receptacles 
around  the  campus  for  recy- 
clable materials. 

"We  distributed  to  the 
departments  seven  bins  that 
we  got  from  the  City  of 
Augusta,"  said  Hamilton. 


"And  we  got  Physical  Plant  to 
cut  some  55  gallon  bins  in  half 
for  us  and  we  painted  those. 
The  55  gallon  drums  were 
placed  down  in  the  lobby  of 
the  CAC." 

Recycling  is  not  a  new  idea 
at  AC,  however. 

"A  couple  of  years  ago 
there  was  an  idea  to  start 
recycling,  but  for  some  reason 
it  didn't  go  through,"  said 
Hamilton.  "Then  we  brought 
it  back  through  the  Student 
Ambassador  Board.  We 
thought  it  would  be  a  good 
opportunity  to  go  ahead  with 
it  since  Summerville  was 
starting  their  recycling  pro- 
ject. So  far  it's  worked  out  real 
well,  we've  got  so  much  sup- 
port from  the  community." 

"We're  going  to  be  collect- 
ing glass,  clear  glass,  plastics, 
newspapers,  office  paper  and 


aluminum,"  he  said.  "The 
City  of  Augusta  is  going  to 
pick  it  up,  and  they're  not 
charging  us.  They  take  part  of 
it  to  Augusta  Paper  Stock  and 
the  other  part  to  Dixie  Recy- 
cling. They  get  the  money  in 
order  to  pay  to  operate  the 
truck." 

Hamilton  commented  that 
the  program  was  a  service 
that  the  Student  Government 
was  able  to  provide  for  stu- 
dents. 

"We're  just  give  them  the 
opportunity  to  bring  in  their 
recycled  goods  to  the  campus. 
There  are  a  lot  of  students 
who  do  recycle,  and  we  made 
it  a  lot  easier  for  them.  Instead 
of  going  all  the  way  down- 
town or  saving  up  100  pounds 
of  cans."

Augusta  College  students

Sexy  and  Safer  program 
attempts  to  accomplish. 

"This  is  the  year  that  this  is 
going  to  happen,"  Landolphi 
said.  "This  is  the  year  that  the 
sexual  revolution  will  start, 
because  your  generation 
won't  stand  for  anything 
less." 

She  has  been  touring  college 
campuses  for  three  years  talk- 
ing about  sexual  freedom  and 
responsibility,  and  according 
to  her,  times  are  changing. 

"When  I  first  started  to  do 
this  three  years  ago,  they  sort 
of  would  invite  me  there  and 
then  have  no  follow-up,  but 
energy  from  the  students  after 


I  left  would  stay  alive  for 
months." 

Now  when  I  go  somewhere, 
they  are  constantly  saying 
'We're  having  a  safer  sex 
week,  not  just  a  day.  We're 
starting  to  put  condoms  in  our 
bookstores.  We're  putting  con- 
doms in  vending  machines  in 
the  dorms.'  So,  I'm  find- 
ing more  now  that  people 
are  starting  to  take  responsi- 
bOity." 

Landolphi  was  hired  by 
Student  Union  to  speak  at  the 
college,  an  occurrence  Landol- 
phi said  is  becoming  more 
common. 

"It's  the  students  that  are 
hiring  me  now,  not  the  admin- 
istration," she  said.  "Not 
because  the  administration 
doesn't  want  to,  but  because 
the  students  want  to." 

Landolphi  does  not  talk 


about  morality  in  her  safer  sex 
program,  instead  she  speaks 
of  personal  choices  and  deci- 
sions. 

"1  am  tired  of  people  like 
Jim  Bakker  and  Jimmy  Swag- 
gart,"  she  said.  "Think  about 
their  hypocritical  behavior. 
I'm  so  tired  of  people  who 
don't  want  us  to  talk  about 
sex,  and  then  going  out  and 
doing  stuff  on  the  sly." 

Landolphi's  presentation 
marked  the  beginning  of  The 
Bell  Ringer's  safer  sex  pro-, 
gram  at  AC.  Safer  sex  litera- 
ture was  made  available  to 
students  and  over  200  con- 
doms were  distributed.  Con-i 
doms  will  remain  available  in' 
The  Bell  Ringer  office,  and  a; 
table  will  be  set  up  near  The^ 
Bell  Ringer  office  with  more, 
safer  sex  literature.  [

Kj^de  Dogs:  No  Mercif 


They  get  up  at  the  crack  of 
awn  five  days  a  week, 
ruise  the  empty  streets  of 

iigusta  to  the  Lamar  Build- 
)g  and  take  the  elevator  to 
le  14th  tloor. 

When  they  get  there,  they 
rack  their  knuckles  and, 
rter  a  deep  breath,  begin  to 
ing  their  arrows. 

They  will  attack  anyone. 

They  will  spare  no  one. 

Thev  will  have  no  mercv. 

They  are  the  Rude  Dogs. 

f  you  want  milk  toast  and 
lundane  stuff,  listen  to  the 
ther  guys,"  said  96  RXR's 
ead  Rude  Dog  Joe  Mama, 
lilk  toast  and  mundane  stuff 

ill   never  come  through 


your  speakers  if  you  tune  to 
WRXR  between  5  and  9  a.  m. 
on  the  weekday. 

Joe  is  joined  at  the  mic  by 
Austin  Rhodes,  who  is  a  tele- 
vision reporter  for  WRDW  in 
his  other  life,  and  Doug  "The 
Wolf  Boy,"  whose  crow  fac- 
tor weather  reports  have 
made  it  possible  for  fuzzy  - 
tongued,  bleary  -  eyed  rock- 
ers to  know  what  to  expect 
from  the  day. 

Joe  Mama  came  to  RXR  in 
June  1991,  Austin  came  about 
a  year  and  a  half  ago,  and 
they  were  joined  by  Doug  in 
September  1991.  The  Rude 
Dogs  were  born. 

They  get  their  material 


from  a  combination  of  net- 
works and  local  humor. 
Sonny,  of  Sonny  is  Always 
Right  fame,  was  just  an  aver- 
age listener  until  they  trans- 
formed him  into  a  radio 
game  show  personality.  They 
don't  make  excuses  for  what 
they  do. 

What  you  hear  is  what  you 
get,"  said  Joe. 

They  have  a  few  words  for 
those  listeners  who  choose  to 
tune  to  a  more  conventional 
morning  show. 

"There's  therapy  available 
for  them,"  said  Doug.  "Most 
of  them  are  closet  listeners, 
they  just  won't  admit  it." 

Joe  said  the  show  is  often 


driven  by  the  listeners.  They 
get  a  lot  of  phone  calls.  One 
caller  asked  Joe  to  call  her 
husband  on  their  anniver- 
sary. Joe  told  the  man  that 
septic  truck  had  dumped  a 
load  of  raw  sewage  into  his 
car. 

Another  one  hosed  by  the 
Rude  Dogs. 

So,  next  time  the  phone 
rings,  beware. 

You  may  be  next.

Where  do  sexually  active 
and  safe  sex  conscious 
Augusta  College  students  get 
condoms?  During  the  week 
of  October  7,  1991  they  got 
them  from  The  Bell  Ringer. 

The  AC  newspaper  kicked 
off  their  safe  sex  campaign 
that  week  by  distributing 
condoms  on  campus. 

The  safe  sex  campaign, 
which  was  started  jointly  by 
The  Bell  Ringer  and  Student 
Union  and  continued  indefi- 
nitely by  The  Bell  Ringer, 
began  on  Wednesday,  Oct- 
ober 9.  To  promote  the  cam- 
paign. The  Bell  Ringer  had  a 
table,  which  was  set  up  in  the 
CAC,  where  the  condoms 
and  safe  sex  literature  was 
given  to  students  at  no  cost. 

"There  are  over  5,  000  stu- 
dents here,  a  lot  of  whom  are 
sexually  active,"  said  Brad 
Poole,  Editor  in  Chief  of  the 
Bell  Ringer.  "The  Bell  Ringer 
wants  to  provide  a  service  to 


the  students,  in  addition  tc 
the  news,  in  order  to  address 
the  situation." 

A  three-part  series  of  arti 
cles  on  safe  sex  was  alsc 
planned,  according  to  Poole. 

Also  on  Wednesday,  a 
Noon,  comedienne  and  edu 
cator  Susan  Landolphi  visitec 
the  campus  and  spoke  in  thi 
CAC  as  a  part  of  her  Safe  Se: 
Tour. 

The  East  Central  Georgi, 
AIDS  Project  Office  providec, 
condoms.  According  to  Lind. 
Thomas  of  that  office,  "Ii 
our  13-county  district 
which  includes  Richmond 
Columbia,  Burke,  and  Me 
Duffie  counties,  there  hav 
been  233  reported  cases  o 
Aids.  5,  369  cases  have  bee 
reported  in  Georgia,  and  th 
number  of  cases  reportei 
nationally  is  186,  895."  Thesi 
figures  were  as  of  Septembej 
1,1991.  I

Camp  Pises  Now 


The  recent  rise  in  crime  in 
le  Augusta  area  has  Augus- 
i  College  Public  Safety  offi- 
;rs  concerned  about  student 
id  facult\-  safety  on  campus, 
rcording  to  Public  Safety 
"irector  Kenneth  Jones. 

"During  times  of  class 
langes,  we  keep  an  officer 
arked  in  a  patrol  car 
atween  the  academic  build- 
igs  and  the  hbrar\-,"  he  said. 

College  campuses  and 
Jier  institutions  that  receive 
■deral  money  are  required  to 
jllect  crime  statistics  and 
•port  this  information  to  the 
31  annually.  This  is  required 
.  the  Campus  Crime  Aware- 
css  and  Campus  Security 
ct  of  1990. 

"We  are  in  compliance  with 


the  act.  In  fact,  we  publish 
our  statistics  quarterly,"  said 
Jones. 

According  to  the  report, 
AC  crimes  filed  with  the  FBI 
were  down  20  percent  in  the 
1990-91  fiscal  year.  Anyone 
may  obtain  copies  of  the 
report  from  any  college  in  the 
nation. 

Colleges  and  Universities 
will  have  to  expand  the 
reporting  of  campus  crimes  if 
current  legislation  is  passed 
and  signed. 

HB  1296,  which  would 
change  criminal  reporting  to 
include  off-campus  crimes 
against  students,  passed  the 
state  House  of  Representa- 
tives without  opposition.  It 
now  heads  to  the  Senate. 


The  legislation  is  in 
response  to  a  campaign  by 
Safe  Campuses  Now,  an 
Athens-based  organization 
seeking  to  boost  crime  aware- 
ness among  students. 

Federal  law  already 
requires  the  open  reporting  of 
campus  crime,  but  critics  con- 
tend that  statistics  are  mis- 
leading because  they  fail  to 
account  for  off-campus 
crimes. 

Before  attending  a  college, 
especially  one  that  is  not  in 
your  hometown,  it  would  be 
a  good  idea  to  ask  the  Regis- 
trar or  the  Public  Safety  office 
of  that  school  to  send  you  a 
copy  of  their  report,  accord- 
ing to  Jones. 

In  the  spring  of  1991,  AC 


Public  Safety  began  publish- 
ing "The  Jaguar  Jurisdiction." 

This  newsletter  is  pub- 
lished four  times  a  year  to 
inform  students  and  faculty 
about  crime  on  the  main  and 
Forest  Hills  campuses. 

The  Jaguar  Jurisdiction  and 
other  crime  prevention  infor- 
mation can  be  found  at  vari- 
ous locations  around  campus. 

AC  Public  Safety  is  work- 
ing directly  with  the  Augusta 
Police  Department's  Public 
Relations  officer,  Mark 
Cowan. 

"We  are  working  on  receiv- 
ing computerized  crime 
statistics  of  the  four  block 
area  surrounding  the  cam- 
pus," said  Jones.

Financial  Aid  Impro  ves 


Lines  in  the  Augusta  Col- 
lege Financial  Aid  office  could 
be  shorter  in  the  future,  if  new 
Financial  Aid  Director  Kevin 
G.  WeUwood  has  his  way. 

Wellwood  hopes  to  cut  wait- 
ing time  in  his  office  during 
times  other  than  registration. 

"I  don't  see  why  a  student 
should  have  to  wait  20  min- 
utes on  a  normal  day,"  said  the 
29-year-old  director.  During 
registration,  he  said,  lines  are 
expected. 

Wellwood  took  the  helm  of 
the  AC  Financial  Aid  office  on 
December  9, 1991  after  the  for- 
mer Director,  James  R. 
Stallings,  resigned  from  the 
position  to  accept  a  teaching 
job  in  the  Department  of 
Developmental  Studies. 

He  came  to  AC  from  Liberty 
University  in  Virginia,  where 
he  served  as  the  Assistant 
Director  of  Financial  Aid  for 


tliree  and  one-half  years. 

He  is  aware  of  some  of  the 
problems  with  the  AC  Finan- 
cial Aid  office  and  wants  to 
rebuild  a  good  relationship 
with  students. 

"There  have  been  problems 
in  the  past  with  the  reputa- 
tion," he  said.  "I'm  certainly 
aware  of  that.  We  just  want  to 
start  new  and  let  the  students 
know  we're  here  as  a  service 
for  them." 

He  said  improving  efficien- 
cy and  productivity  in  the 
office  are  among  his  main 
goals.  He  hopes  to  do  that  by 
shifting  some  of  the  workloads 
to  allow  staff  members  to  bet- 
ter serve  the  needs  of  the  stu- 
dents and  by  providing  more 
professional  development  for 
the  staff.  He  hopes  to  send 
staff  members  to  two  or  three 
conferences  this  year,  he  said. 
He  is  also  looking  at  the  posi- 


tive aspects  of  the  Financial 
Aid  office. 

"The  number-one  strength 
we  have  is  a  great  staff,"  he 
said.  "They're  willing  to  do 
whatever  is  necessary  to  get 
the  job  done." 

He  said  that  he  plans  to 
increase  the  automation  in  the 
office  by  purchasing  more 
computer  equipment.  This  will 
allow  staff  members  to  look 
up  information  more  quickly 
and  drastically  improve  effi- 
ciency and  productivity,  he 
said. 

Wellwood  served  four  years 
in  the  U.  S.  Air  Force  as  an 
accounting  specialist  and 
earned  his  Master's  degree  in 
Business  Administration  from 
Liberty  University  in  Virginia 
in  1989. 

During  his  college  years  he 
had  some  contact  with  finan- 
cial aid  offices.  He  received 


Pell  grants,  scholarships,  and  ai 
school  loan. 

Some  difficulties  he  encoun 
tered  when  he  appUed  for  thei 
loan  gave  him  an  understand- 
ing for  his  clients'  problems 
he  said. 

"As  a  former  student,  I  car 
see  where  the  student  is  com- 
ing from,"  he  said.  "When  yoi. 
want  something  processed 
you  want  it  processed  today; 
not  next  month." 

The  role  of  the  AC  Finanda 
Aid  office  is  to  connect  stu ' 
dents  with  federal  aid  dollars, 
he  said.  ; 

In  the  future  the  office  ma) 
be  able  to  maintain  data  base: 
of  available  scholarships  t(. 
help  students  gain  access  tc 
financial  aid  provided  fron 
private  sources,  but  that  is  no 
in  the  immediate  future.  Well 
wood  said.

Imagine  living  for  five 
weeks  in  a  foreign  household 
where  no  one  else  under- 
stands English. 

To  many  foreign  language 
students,  such  a  scenario  may 
sound  like  a  nightmare,  but  a 
group  of  AC  Spanish  students 
wouldn't  trade  the  experience 
for  the  world. 

Last  summer,  Spanish  Pro- 
fessor Jana  Sandarg  shepherd- 
ed 33  students  to  Mexico  for 
six  weeks  as  part  of  the  Inter- 
national Intercultural  Studies 
Program  to  study  the  Spanish

native  setting.  Program  partic- 
ipants from  AC  were  Kristin 
Askin,  Susan  Dray,  Chris 
Roberts,  Shannon  Shelton,  and 
Webb  Smith. 

The  trip  is  one  which  some 
of  the  students  say  they  will 
never  forget.

you  cannot  buy  with  money," 
said  Shelton,  an  English  major 
who  made  the  trip  to  complete 
foreign  language  require- 
ments. "It  made  me  appreciate 
life  here  and  admire  others  for 
their  life." 

"The  people  were  so  laid 
back,"  Shelton  said.  "At  the 
university,  if  you  didn't  get  a 
paper  in  on  time,  you  could 
turn  it  in  later  ...  We  did  every- 
thing on  Mexican  time."  The 
people  down  there  would 
stop  and  take  a  break  whenev- 
er they  wanted. 

Shelton  also  said  her  Mexi- 
can family  expressed  concern 
for  her  throughout  her  stay 
with  them.  "They  treated  me 
like  a  guest  would  be  treated.  I 
didn't  have  to  clean  house, 
and  the  Mexican  mother  cared 
for  me  when  1  was  sick.  They 
were  good-hearted  people, 
people  just  like  us." 


Smith  believes  he  also 
learned  not  to  take  for  granted 
the  conveniences  of  life  in 
America.  "You  have  to  con- 
stantly be  careful  in  Mexico. 
You  have  to  watch  the  water 
all  the  time.  Even  in  the  show- 
er I  had  to  be  careful  not  to 
drink  it." 

The  students  also  traveled 
across  the  country  when  they 
weren't  attending  class.  They 
visited  tourist  attractions  such 
as  Puerto  Vallarta  and  Cancun 
as  well  as  museums  and  even 
a  tequila  factory. 

"I  learned  a  lot  you  can't 
really  get  from  books  or  slides 
or  pictures,"  Shelton  said.  "It 
was  really  a  great  experience." 

Smith  said  he  also  learned 
an  important  lesson  in  Mexico. 
"Humans  aren't  that  different. 
You  learn  when  you're 
exposed  to  different  cultures 
that  discriminating  against 


others  because  of  their  Ian-, 
guage  is  absurd." 

Professor  Sandarg  believes 
this  new  perspective  is  one  of 
the  most  important  lessons 
that  student  learn  during  their 
studies  in  foreign  lands. 

"I  think  it  gives  them  a  new 
sense  of  what  it  means  to  be 
American,"  Professor  Sandarg 
said.  "Most  people  would  be 
surprised  to  find  out  how 
wonderful  and  nice  the  Mexi' 
can  people  are.  Unless  we  see 
how  the  rest  of  the  world 
lives,  we  can't  have  a  sense  of 
identity  to  compare  ourselves 
with  other  people." 

Professor  Sandarg  said  AC 
students  can  study  abroad 
through  a  variety  of  progranis 
in  a  variety  of  disciplines.  Stu 
dents  can  choose  to  study  in 
any  of  several  countries 
around  the  world.

team  1,  and  Princeton  Univer- 
sity team  2  in  the  first  round  of 
this  year's  tournament.  The 
Jaguars  easily  won  their  group 
by  posting  8-0  victories  over  all 
three  teams.  In  the  quarterfi- 
nals, AC  squared  off  against 
Columbia  again  and  recorded 
another  8-0  win.  Yale  Universi- 
ty faced  the  Jaguars  in  the 
semifinals  and  managed  to 
take  one  match  in  an  8-1  loss. 
The  men  carried  their  momen- 
tum into  the  finals  against 
Princeton  1  and  brought  home 
the  1992  Championship  with 
an  8-1  victory. 

The  AC  team  has  three  fresh- 
men: Anthony  Cooper,  Oscar 
Melvin,  and  Brian  Pace. 
Upperclassmen  are  Anurag

For  many  freshman,  the  difference

that  students  wonder  if  the  profes- 
,ors  realize  that  they  have  two  other  classes  too. 
The  syllabus  shows  a  schedule  packed  so  tightly 
\  ith  readings,  papers,  and  midterms  that  they 
\  onder  when  the  "work"  will  give  them  a  break 
0  "play". 

I  Upperclassmen  realize  the  extra  hours  at 
he  lab  or  in  front  of  the  computer  means  a  better 
rade  and  the  trade-off  is  worth  it.  Students 
on't  seem  to  mind  reading  six  chapters  for  next 
vcek's  lecture  and  doing  the  extra  research  that 
oes  into  group  projects  for  a  good  grade.  After

ENGLISH  101 

If  you  ask  students  at  Augusta 
College  taking  English  101  what  they  think 
about  the  class,  you  are  likely  to  hear  them 
say,  "It  is  different."  Unlike  large  general 
education  lecture  classes,  English  101  is 
limited  to  twenty-five  students,  a  size  that 
contributes  to  the  ease  of  interaction  in  the 
classroom  and  a  greater  opportunity  for 
active  participation.  Since  instructors 
emphasize  multiple-draft  revisions,  stu- 
dents have  a  chance  to  discuss  their  drafts 
with  their  peers  and  instructor,  edit  the 
draft  and  learn  from  their  mistakes.  There 
is  not  just  teacher-student  talk,  but  a  good 
deal  of  student-student  talk  about  writing 
and  writing  problems.  Students  are  able  to 
read  each  other's  work  and  receive  feed- 
back from  their  classmates  on  what  they 
have  written.  In  an  effort  to  motivate 
student  writers,  outstanding  essays  are 
entered  in  a  publication  contest  called 
"Choice  Voice"  which  publishes  the  best 
essays  written  by  JTcshman  linglish  stu- 
dents each  cjuartcr.  Choice  Voice  essays 


appear  in  both  hard  copy  and  on  the  AC 
computer  network. 

In  essence,  English  101  classes  con- 
sist of  computers,  collaboration,  and  pub- 
lication. According  to  Professor  Paul 
Sladky,  Director  of  Freshman  Composi- 
tion, "English  101  stresses  writing  as  a  way 
for  students  to  get  in  touch  with  their  own 
language  and  then  use  that  language  in 
their  intellectual  explorations.  We  try  to 
stress  writing  as  a  means  of  learning  as 
well  as  a  means  of  communicating  what's 
learned.  In  the  process  students  become 
sharper  in  both  thought  and  expression." 
Professor  Sladky  also  notes  that,  "The  pre- 
vailing wisdom  is  that  writing  is  not  taught; 
it's  learned.  And  the  best  way  for  that  to 
happen  is  for  students  to  both  write  a  lot 
and  talk  a  lot  about  what  they  have  writ- 
ten." Active  participation  in  the  classroom 
helps  students  write  and  think  with  greater 
clarity,  which  are  the  primary  objectives  of 
linglish  101.

BIOLOGY  101 


"Do  I  really  have  to  touch  this 
frog?"  is  a  question  most  frequently  asked 
during  a  Biology  101  lab  according  to  Dr. 
Judith  Elaine  Gordon. 

Dissecting  the  frog  is  one  of  the 
major  events  of  the  class.  Although  some 
students  despise  the  cold  frog,  others  can't 
wait  to  use  their  dissecting  kit.  "It's  a  half 
and  half  situation,"  says  Dr.  Gordon.  "Stu- 
dents either  love  the  frog  or  hate  it." 

Biology  101  students  should  not 
be  afraid  of  reading  either.  Dr.  Gordon 
emphazises  that  the  text  book  is  a  very 
important  learning  tool.  "A  lot  of  students 
give  me  a  look  of  disbelief  when  I  tell  them 
to  spend  two  hours  of  studying  for  each 
hour  in  class."  To  encourage  the  students 


to  read  their  text  books.  Dr.  Gordon  has 
weekly  "drill  sessions"  in  which  she  ques- 
tions her  "victims"  about  the  covered  ma- 
terial in  the  book.  Although  most  of  the 
students  fear  these  "drill  session"  at  the 
start  of  the  quarter,  the  class  evaluation 
sheets  indicate  that  65%  of  the  student  find 
them  very  helpful. 

Biology  101  is  a  general  Biology 
course.  Together  with  the  sequel.  Biology 
102,  it  touches  all  the  fields  in  Biology 
lightly,  from  the  complex  chemistry  in- 
volved in  photosynthesis  to  the  interesting 
topic  of  human  anatomy  and  physiology. 
Biology  101  is  a  lesson  in  LIFE  in  every 
sense  of  the  word.

MUSIC  171 

Is  it  possible  to  receive  college  credit, 
have  fun,  and  learn  all  at  the  same  time? 
Yes  it  is,  and  fifty  students  who  are  mem- 
bers of  the  Augusta  College  Concert  Choir 
(MUS  171  A),  under  the  direction  of  Dr. 
Linda  Banister,  do  just  that. 

Before  the  first  song  is  sung  Dr. 
Banister  warms-up  the  group's  voices 
through  vocal  exercises,  the  same  way  an 
athlete  would  stretch  before  attempting  to 
run  the  10k.  Following  this,  the  music, 
ranging  from  the  Renaissance  to  that  of  the 
Twentieth  Century,  is  ready  to  be  rehearsed. 
According  to  Vicky  Mitchell,  a  voice  major, 
the  variety  of  music  makes  choir  interest- 
ing. "I've  been  exposed  to  music  that  I'd 
never  been  exposed  to  before." 

Even  though  voice  majors  are  re- 
quired to  be  in  choir,  many  non-music 
majors  sign  up  for  the  pure  enjoyment  of 
singing,  giving  them  an  outlet  for  creative 


expression.  One  such  student,  Ron  Sher- 
rod,  has  enjoyed  the  experience  and  ex- 
plains that  he  "believes  that  all  students 
will  have  a  greater  admiration  of  Augusta 
College  if  they  participate  in  the  various 
social  organizations  and  not  just  bury  them- 
selves in  books." 

So  what's  so  special  about  a  class 
that  sings?  "The  esprit-de-corps  is  really 
important  as  is  universal  acceptance  to 
personal  development,"  said  Dr.  Banister. 
Unlike  some  subjects  where  each  student 
performs  individually,  the  choir's  strategy 
is  to  work  as  a  team  giving  no  regard  to 
one's  race,  sex,  or  color  but  instead  striving 
to  have  the  perfect  blend  of  voices  to  create 
their  common  goal:  beautiful  music.  Erin 
Thomas  sums  it  up,  "If  students  are  look- 
ing for  a  place  to  'belong'  at  Augusta  Col- 
lege the  choir  is  a  great  place  to  be."

ART  431 


When  people  think  of  drawing 
class,  some  may  only  visualize  a  still  life  or 
a  figure  in  the  center  of  a  room  surrounded 
by  students  with  a  pencil  and  drawing  pad 
in  hand .  Well,  they  would  only  be  partially 
correct  in  their  assumptions. 

Although  the  pencil  is  thought  of 
as  the  most  common  drawing  tool,  there  is 
a  broader  range  of  media  that  can  be  used. 
In  our  drawing  class  we  used  many  tools 
for  drawing  including  pencil,  pen  &  ink, 
charcoal,  pastel,  conte  crayon,  collage  and 
even  the  eraser. 

Through  the  instructor  we  learned 
to  use  all  media  with  the  manipulation  of 
different  techniques  and  ideas.  Through 
experiment  we  learned  about  relationships 
between  different  types  of  paper  and  me- 
dia. This  relationship  is  important  to  know 
before  beginning  a  drawing  project  so  that 
the  artist  may  get  his  or  her  desired  results. 
Learning  to  manipulate  a  chosen  media  to 
obtain  the  exact  results  that  one  wants  is,  in 
essence,  learning  to  draw.  If  an  artist  can 
control  his  or  her  medium  and  get  exactly 
what  he  or  she  wants  from  it,  then  their 
efforts  in  the  learning  process  are  success- 
ful. 

Unfortunately,  it's  not  that  easy  to 
learn  these  things,  but  the  mistakes  made 


in  the  process  are  good  lessons  in  them- 
selves (and  can  sometimes  be  nice  sur- 
prises). 

As  a  Drawing  IV  art  student,  I  am 
still  learning  how  to  successfully  use  dif- 
ferent types  of  media  to  achieve  my  de- 
sired results.  Drawing  has  always  been 
my  first  love  among  all  other  types  of  art. 
My  favorite  drawing  medium  is  the  pencil, 
although  I  do  use  other  types  of  media.  In 
drawing  I  do  not  think  that  the  learning 
process  ever  ends  -  not  with  media,  tech- 
niques or  style.  There  is  always  something 
new  to  try...  something  new  to  discover. 

Daniel  Finch  -  "India  ink  is  my 
favorite  medium  in  class,  you  can  get  the 
blackest  black  you  can  get  and  it's  very 
powerful,  but  you  are  still  able  to  get  de- 
tail. Drawing  is  my  favorite  thing  to  do. 
This  class  pushes  you  to  try  new  things. 
Things  you  would  not  do  on  your  own. 

Amy  Beaudoin  -  "I  enjoy  the  cre- 
ative process  and  working  with  my  hands. 
I  appreciate  all  media  because  they  each 
have  something  to  contribute  to  my  ideas 
and  my  ideas  sometimes  contribute  to  the 
media.  I  love  it  when  a  medium  seems  to 
have  a  life  of  its  own...  It's  a  nice  surprise."

FINANCE  210 


How  many  of  us  carefully  read  all 
of  the  paperwork  associated  with  our  car 
loans?  How  many  of  us  understand  it  if  we 
do?  Probably  not  many. 

Augusta  College  students  taking 
FIN  210,  a  course  in  personal  finance,  how- 
ever, will  have  the  opportunity  to  learn 
what  they  need  to  know  to  not  only  borrow 
wisely,  but  also  to  plan  for  retirement,  buy 
a  home,  cope  with  taxes  or  invest  in  the 
stock  market. 

"The  course  in  designed  to  make 
sure  that  students  will  learn  about  all  of  the 
variety  of  financial  needs  that  they  are 
going  to  have,"  said  Mary  K.  Lisko,  Direc- 
tor of  Student  Advising  and  support  for 
the  School  of  Business  Administration.  "A 
lot  of  students  have  faced  financial  situa- 
tions before  they  come  here,  but  a  lot  of  the 
younger  students  have  not  bought  a  house 
or  borrowed  money,  or  thought  about  in- 
vesting in  the  stock  market." 

The  course  evolved  out  of  a  400- 
levcl  course  intend  not  just  for  business 
majors.  No  prerequisites  are  required  for 
the  class,  and  non-business  majors  are  en- 


couraged enroll. 

"There's  not  a  lot  of  theory  behind 
it.  I  think  it's  a  very  practical  course  de- 
signed to  give  a  little  taste  of  all  the  differ- 
ent things,"  said  Professor  Lisko.  "It's 
designed  to  be  an  all-purpose  course  to 
teach  the  students  a  little  bit  about  a  lot  of 
different  things  that  they  need  to  know  in 
terms  of  finance  and  financial  planning." 

Although  two  sections  of  the  class 
were  to  be  offered  for  fall  quarter,  enroll- 
ment was  not  what  the  School  of  Business 
Administration  would  have  liked. 

"We  did  not  have  a  lot  of  response. 
We  have  not  had  heavy  enrollment  in  the 
class,  but  we're  pleased  that  we  have  had 
faculty  available  to  teach  it  despite  rather 
limited  enrollment,  and  we  think  it  will 
build  as  word  gets  around  that  it  is  a  very 
practical  and  useful  elective  that  students 
can  take,"  said  Professor  Lisko. 

"It  think  it  would  be  nice  if  it  were 
required  of  everyone.  Any  student  would 
find  very  useful  and  practical  information 
in  Ihe  class."

NURSING  203 


Although  nursing  students 
have  different  opinions  on  their  pro- 
spective career,  they  all  agree  that  a 
career  in  nursing  is  certainly  not  bor- 
ing. There  are  many  different  job  set- 
tings a  nurse  can  choose  to  work  in.  A 
few  of  these  are  community  heath  cen- 
ters, occupational  heath,  and  hospi- 
tals. Judy  Wilkerson,  a  student  in  Nurs- 
ing 203,  will  never  forget  taking  7:00 
a.m.  vital  signs  on  a  patient  that  did  not 
have  any  —  the  patient  was  deceased. 

The  students  are  glad  they  can 
practice  on  dummies  first.  For  patients 
would  definitely  not  want  to  undergo, 
what  some  students  do  to  these  poor 
dummies.  One  of  the  most  memorable 
experiences  for  students  in  the  skills 


lab,  according  to  Annie  Chaffee,  is  "to 
discover  the  dummies  have  inter- 
changeable sexual  parts." 

Nursing  students  choose  the 
nursing  field  for  various  reasons.  Nurs- 
ing is  a  major  that  enjoys  the  personal 
satisfaction  one  receives  from  helping 
others.  Another  reason  for  choosing 
the  nursing  profession  could  be  job 
security.  Petra  Strako  can  not  even 
remember  the  reason  for  choosing  this 
field  of  hard  work.  She  even  states,  "1 
must  have  been  suffering  from  tempo- 
rary insanity."  The  best  advice  for  an 
upcoming  nursing  student  given  by 
the  experts,  nursing  students  them- 
selves, is  to  STUDY!  STUDY!  STUDY!

HISTORY  212 

The  "haunted  pillar"  and  "Fanning 
Hall"  of  Augusta  are  just  two  examples  of 
the  many  unknown  details  that  Dr.  Cashin's 
students  learn  in  History  211  and  212. 

Dr.  Cashin  not  only  brings  the 
facts  to  class,  but  also  the  attitude  that  the 
news  of  yesterday  affects  the  decisions  of 
today.  The  whole  principle  behind  it  is  that 
history  repeats  itself.  So  a  successful  way 
in  making  decisions  for  our  generation  is 
to  study  our  past.  Donnie  Fetter  stated,  "1 
am  a  firm  believer  that  history  repeats 
itself  just  thought  different  circumstances 
and  different  people.  By  studying  history, 
we  can  learn  from  our  past  mistakes  &  try 
not  to  repeat  the  same  error. 


Dr.  Cashin  also  brings  enthusiasm 
and  excitement  to  HIS  211  and  HIS  212, 
allowing  the  students  who  were  dreading 
this  part  of  the  core,  to  actually  find  the 
class  exciting  and  eye-opening.  Students 
who  have  completed  the  class  left  with  a 
different  feeling  toward  the  study  of  His- 
tory. Dr.  Cashin  brings  it  alive  to  our  world 
and  today.  "And  he  certainly  did  for  this 
student.  So  much,  that  I  changed  my  ma- 
jor," stated  Kathryn  Kimberly. 

And  well,  as  far  as  the  meaning  of 
the  "haunted  pillar"-take  the  class.  It  is  a 
class  about  the  past  and  the  present.

Computer  Science  is  one  of  the 
more  diverse  majors  offered  at  Au- 
gusta College.  Not  only  does  it  require 
competence  in  mathematics  logic  and 
computing  systems  in  general,  a  suc- 
cessful student  will  also  possess  ana- 
lytical skills  and  be  somewhat  creative. 

The  diversity  of  the  program  is 
also  reflected  in  its  students  who  come 
from  all  walks  of  life.  Many  are  tradi- 
tional students,  but  just  as  many  are 
not.  Dr.  Petit,  Chairman  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Mathematics  and  Computer 
Science,  explains  that  half  are  full-time 
students,  one  fourth  are  part-time,  and 
that  one  fourth  attend  evening  classes 
only. 

Regardless  of  a  student's  sta- 
tus, most  agree  that  the  computer  sci- 
ence curriculum,  which  is  based  in 
theory  and  mathematics,  is  rigorous. 
Departmental  statistics  support  the  stu- 
dents opinions;  Dr.  Petit  further  ex- 
plained that  while  180  AC  students  are 
declared  Computer  Science  majors, 
only  20  or  so  graduate  each  year.  He  is 


excited  though  because  total  enroll- 
ment in  the  program  is  increasing  and 
this  year's  graduating  class  is  slightly 
larger  than  usual. 

The  curriculum,  which  empha- 
sizes computer  programming,  archi- 
tecture and  software  development,  is 
designed  to  prepare  students  for  ca- 
reers in  the  computer  industry  or 
graduate  studies.  Most  agree  that  their 
work  will  pay  off  in  the  end.  "I'm  glad 
I  chose  computer  science,"  reports 
Morgan  Whaley,  a  graduating  Senior. 
"I'm  looking  forward  to  a  challenging 
and  rewarding  career!" 

Data  structures  and  symbolic 
logic  are  consistently  the  most  difficult 
courses  and  students  quickly  adjust  to 
pulling  all-nighters  in  Hardy  Hall.  The 
rigors  of  the  program  and  the 
department's  relatively  small  size  com- 
bine to  foster  a  bonding  which  bridges 
most  any  gap  —  age,  race,  or  gender  — 
and  yields  a  true  sense  of  camaraderie 
among  computer  science  students.  This 
is  what  they  will  miss  most.

"A  sill,  a  flow,  a  laccolith,  have 
no  significance  to  the  majority  of  col- 
lege students  unless  of  course  you  are 
in  Professor  Joe  Breur's  Geology  101 
class. 

Despite  the  field  trips  to  Hagges 
Rock  and  the  cemetery  lots,  "most  stu- 
dents do  not  enjoy  the  rock  identifying 
porfion  of  the  class,"  says  Professor 
Breur.  Most  find  the  fossil  section  is 
more  to  their  liking. 

Although  most  students  feel 
they  are  well  rounded,  Mr.  Breur  points 
out  "the  broad  knowledge  of  the  sci- 
ences and  the  history  of  the  earth  which 


this  class  offers  is  beneficial. 

Larry  Alexander,  Jr,  a  junior  at 
August  College,  remarked,  "due  to  the 
knowledge  learned  in  Mr.  Breur's  class, 
I  no  longer  take  my  environment  for 
granted.  I  view  my  surroundings  with 
an  intelligent  eye  appreciating  the  earth 
for  more  than  just  it's  aesthetic  value." 

Geology  101  and  102  can  sat- 
isfy ten  hours  of  credit  under  area  II  of 
the  core  curriculum.  The  majority  of 
students  who  take  geology  are  weak  in 
math  and  science.  However  the  ben- 
efits this  class  offers  is  great  for  all 
students.

f^'f  he  clubs  and  organizations  at  Augusta 
I  College  made  differences  throughout 
f  .-.  the  community.  Activities  such  as  col- 
lecting toys  for  the  Salvation  Army  during  the 
holidays  and  quarterly  Blood  Drives  for  the 
Shepard  Community  Blood  Center  allowed  the 
area  to  see  the  philinthropic  nature  of  the  cam- 
pus and  its  students. 

New  clubs  hit  the  AC  scene  this  year; 
clubs  such  as  Black  Student  Union,  Campus 
Outreach  and  Higher  Taste  gave  students  more 
opportunities  to  get  involved.  With  the  wide 
variety  of  groups  offered,  everyone  should  be 
able  to  find  an  activity  to  suit  their  individual 
tastes.  But  it's  the  club  members  that  were 
making  the  difference  this  year.  Their  dedica- 
:ion  to  a  club  is  what  makes  the  campus  a 
success.  It's  their  work  and  caring  that  makes 
a  difference.

Ahe  Sociology  Club  sponsored  a  Salvation  Army  Toy  Collection  for  the 
poor  during  December  as  one  of  their  many  community  activities  for  the 
year.  Many  clubs  were  moving  in  a  different  direction  by  volunteering 
their  time,  and  making  contributions  to  different  organizations  and  buisnesses 
around  the  Augusta  area. 


fjTjr      &i^S  &  OlfmiiaiaKS 


One  bright  Saturday 
morning,  I  woke  up  early  (8:00 
A.M.-  yes,  that's  early,  for  a 
Saturday).  I  gulped  down  my 
usual  eye-opening  cup  of  cof- 
fee, telephoned  one  of  my  fel- 
low Newman  Club  members  to 
make  sure  she  was  awake 
(which  she  wasn't),  and  threw 
myself  in  the  shower  for  my 
morning  absolutions.  By  8:45, 1 
was  on  the  road  in  my  '74  Ply- 
mouth wagon,  the  wind  blow- 
ing at  me  through  the  open  win- 
dow, singing  in-tune  on  my  way 
to  make  the  world  a  little  better 
place  for  a  family  I'd  never  be- 
fore set  eyes  on  in  my  life. 

I  arrived  at  the  Habitat 
for  Humanity  site  in  Augusta 
around  9:00,  ready  to  begin  any 
task  they  set  before  me.  Con- 
sidering my  total  lack  of  expe- 
rience and  knowledge  of  the 
construction  business,  I  was 
sure  this  would  be  as  simple 
and  menial  as  loading  some 
wood,  fetching  a  hammer,  or 
handing  someone  the  right- 
sized  nails,  a  preconcieved  no- 
tion which  was  quickly  and 
swiftly  disposed  of,  never  again 
to  return.  1  met  up  with  Lori, 
Wendy,  Andrew,  and  Jesse, 
other  Newman  Club  members 
who  were  helping  out  that 
morning,  and  we  all  went 
searching  for  someone  in  need 
of  some  extra  hands. 

What  we  found  was 
work,  hard  work,  and  plenty  of 
it.  We  also,  to  our  delight  and 
suprise,  found  the  lady  who 
would  be  living  in  the  house 


after  it  was  finished.     She  wa^ 
putting  the  base  coat  of  paint 
on  one  of  the  window  sills  andi 
looking  as  pleased  and  proud, 
as  if  she  were  already  living  inj 
her  soon-to-be  new  house.  We; 
introduced  ourselves  to  her  and 
she  returned  the  gesture,  in 
forming  us  that  her  name  was 
Lilly,  and  that  she  and  her  chil- 
dren were  scheduled  to  move 
in  within  a  few  months.  Since 
she  couldn't,  on  her  income,! 
afford  to  buy  a  regularly  priced 
house  and  support  her  children,; 
too,  she  was  reviewed  for  this; 
house,  met  the  criteria,  and  now 
is  able  to  buy  the  house  for  only 
as  much  as  the  materials  cost 
(as  all  of  the  labor  is  volun- 
teered). She  invited  us  to  help; 
her  with  the  windows,  which 
we  were  happy  to  do,  though! 
shghtly  skeptical  of  our  abili-l 
ties.  That  turned  out  to  be  the 
first  of  many  jobs  the  Newmar! 
Club  members  did  that  day. 
Before  we  left,  we  had  climbed 
up  onto  a  roof  to  nail  in  shingles 
cut  and  nailed  up  styrofoarr 
insulation,  measured,  cut,  and 
installed  siding,  and  met  nu- 
merous people,  ages  6  to  70,  al 
of  whom  were  very  nice  and 
seemed  happy  for  the  opportu- 
nity to  be  doing  their  part  tc 
reduce  homelessness  in  the  cit) 
of  Augusta.  Knowing  that  ir 
some  small  way,  we  had  made 
a  difference  to  Lilly,  to  her  famil 
and  in  a  sense,  to  all  of  human- 
ity.

The  regular  bi-

to  order  and  many  activities 
are  planned  for  the  upcom-

Halloween  and  we  have  re- 
freshments and  members 
dressed  for  the  occasion. 

The  Dean  of  the 
School  of  Business  Admin- 
istration, Dr.  Dalton

In  the  early  part  of  1990, 
the  AC  Euclidean  Society  was  in 
the  process  of  re-establishing  its 
presence  on  campus.  The  mem- 
bership was  small  but  devoted  and 
anxious  to  make  the  organization 
a  success  once  again.  A  year  later 
the  club  had  achieved  many  of  its 
goals  and  was  looking  ahead  to 
another  year  of  activities  and  learn- 
ing. The  members  were  proud  of 
their  accompUshments  and  wanted 
to  come  up  with  something  that 
would  make  others  stand  up  and 
take  notice  of  the  Euclidean  Soci- 
ety. And  we  have;  participating  in 
Homecoming,  volunteering  our 
skills  and  time,  sponsoring  guest 
lectures,  and  just  plain  having  fun. 

One  of  our  most  success- 
ful projects  was  the  club  t-shirt.  It 
has  served  to  bring  the  members 
closer  together  and  has  been  a 
source  of  profit.  The  idea  of  a  club 
t-shirt  came  up  at  one  of  the  meet- 
ings and  that  idea  was  quickly 
voted  in  as  a  project  for  the  Euclid- 
ean Society  to  undertake.  Sugges- 
tions for  themes  and  slogans  came 
from  members  and  faculty  alike 
and  many  a  meeting  was  spent 
brainstorming  and  voting  on  ideas. 
It  seemed  as  though  once  the  club 
had  decided  on  a  concept,  a  better 
one  would  come  along;  the  deci- 
sion process  was  indeed  a  long 
one.  Then  THE  slogan  rolled  off 
someone's  tongue  and  immedi- 
ately the  group  responded.  After 
months  of  thought,  decision  mak- 
ing, and  fund  raising  the  Euchd- 
ean  Society  was  finally  going  to 
have  a  t-shirt!  The  t-shirt  has  given 
us  great  publicity  on  and  off  cam- 
pus. Oh  yea,  the  slogan...  MATH- 
EMATICIANS DON'T  JUST  DO 
IT...  THEY  PROVE  IT! 


We  prove  it  in  everything 
we  undertake.  The  Euclidean  So- 
ciety believes  in  working  hard,  and 
playing  hard,  not  to  over  quote 
shoe  commercials,  but  "life  is  toe 
short,  play  hard."  Every  year  we 
sponsor  guest  lectures,  and  dur- 
ing this  past  year  we  featured  Deda 
Xeng,  a  graduate  student  at 
Clemson  University,  and  Dr.  Rob 
ert  Jamerson,  professor  of  Math 
ematics  at  Clemson  University.  The 
purpose  of  the  lectures  is  to  expos 
students  to  recent  research  in  mathi 
ematics.  We  also  try  to  expose  stU' 
dents  to  the  different  fields  of  math 
ematics  available. 

Teaching  is  the  goal  o 
most  of  our  members,  and  they  ar 
given  the  chance  to  experienc( 
teaching  first  hand  and  get  to  know 
what  teaching  is  really  hke  Iron 
the  professors  themselves.  Everj 
quarter  the  Euchdean  Society  holds 
MAT  107  help  sessions,  which  ar 
normally  scheduled  a  few  dayi 
prior  to  the  final  exam.  Many  stu 
dents  bring  their  old  tests  and  note 
and  take  this  great  opportunity  tc 
put  the  pieces  together.  Also,  foi 
the  past  two  years  the  Euclidear 
Society  has  helped  with  the  math 
contest  sponsored  by  AC  for  thf 
area  high  schools.  Last  year  we 
submitted  questions  for  the  vari- 
ous stages  of  the  competition  anc 
helped  to  keep  score.  But  this  i; 
only  one  side  of  teaching,  we  havf 
a  wonderful  relationship  with  thi 
faculty  of  the  mathematics  depart 
ment. 

We  are  a  wild,  caring,  in 
tellectual  bunch  who  enjoy  meet 
ing  others  interested  in  mathemat 
ics.  The  Euclidean  society  is  defi 
nitely  a  club  to  be  noticed!

ususta  College  Athletics  had 
to  make  many  adjustments 
from  last  year.  From  switch- 
ing to  Division  I  from  Division  II  to  the 
switching  from  the  "Old  Gym"  to  the 
new  Athletic  Complex.  There  was  also 
a  new  addition  to  Augusta  College  sports 
this  past  year.  On  February  15,  AC 
unveiled  their  new  mascot  AL  E.  CAT. 
E\  en  though  most  teams  had  rocky  sea- 
sons, there  were  two  teams  that  took  the 
adjustments  in  stride.  Both  the  Women's 
Basketball  team  and  the  Women's  Ten- 
lis  team  celebrated  the  end  of  their  sea- 
sons with  a  Conference  Championship.

EMOTIONAL 

Jags  fall  short  in  finals,  but  had  a  great  season. 


The  Augusta  College 
men's  basketball  team  went 
into  the  91-92  season  with 
high  expectations,  from  both 
the  coaches,  the  players,  and 
the  media.  This  Jaguar  team 
was  only  losing  one  player 
and  was  returning  the 
school's  all-time  points 
leader,  Keenan  Mann,  and 
the  school's  all-time  block 
leader,  Derek  Stewart.  This 
Jaguar  team  had  competed 
on  the  Division  I  level  against 
the  likes  of  Florida,  South 
Carolina,  Georgia  Tech,  Min- 
nesota, and  several  others, 
not  to  mention  the  tough  Big 
South  Conference  competi- 
tion. The  91-92  season  was 
the  first  season  for  the  Jag- 
uar athletic  program  back 
down  on  the  Division  II  level, 
in  the  newly  formed  Peach 
Belt  Conference.  One  basket- 
ball magazine  ranked  the 
Jags  16th  in  a  preseason  poll 
for  Division  II  schools.  The 


Jags  were  expected  to  domi- 
nate their  new  found  com- 
petition, but  this  was  not  the 
case. 

Although  the  Jags 
dicin't  run  out  to  an 
undefeated  season  like  many 
had  hoped  for,  they  did  fin- 
ish the  season  for  the  first 
time  since  1981  with  a  win- 
ning record,  at  17-11.  The 
Jags  posted  some  impressive 
wins  throughout  the  season 
including  three  wins  over  na- 
tionally ranked  teams.  The 
first  came  against 
Fayetteville  St.,  #2  in  the  na- 
tion, with  a  86-83  victory. 
Later  in  the  season,  the  Jags 
toppled  the  defending  na- 
tional champions.  North  Ala- 
bama, #10  in  the  country, 
with  a  77-64  victory.  Two 
days  later  the  Jags  upset  the 
#14  ranked  team  in  the  na- 
tion with  66-64  win.  The  Jags 
also  posted  a  two-point  vic- 
tory over  Paine  College,  61- 


59,  in  the  Augusta  City  Clas 
sic,  in  front  of  nearly  4,00( 
fans.  The  Jags  wrapped  uf 
their  season  with  a  disap 
pointing  first  round  loss  ii 
the  Peach  Belt  Conference 
Tournament  to  Georgia  Col 
lege,  79-87. 

The  team's  overal 
performance  for  the  seasoi 
was  highlighted  by  two,  first 
team  All-Conference  selec 
tions,  and  one,  second-tean 
All-Conference  selection 
The  first  two  were  to  no  one' 
surprise,  Keenan  Mann  (16.: 
points  per  game,  7.6  re 
bounds  per  game)  and  De 
rek  Stewart  (15.5  points  pe 
game,  6.6  rebounds  pe 
game).  This  year  was  the  las 
season  for  Keenan  Manr 
who  has  been  the  center  o 
AC  basketball  for  four  year  | 
and  will  leave  behind  hir^  i 
an  era  of  excellence,  as  we! 
as  the  school's  all-time  scoi 
ing  record.

Bottom  Left:  AC  Jags  held

The  Jaguars  went  to  all 
extremes  to  keep  posses-

defense  strong.

their  regular  season  in  the 
new  Athletic  Complex  on 
the  Wrightsboro  Road 
campus.  The  building 
was  dedicated  this  year. 


"The  major  difference  between 
this  year's  team  and  the  previ- 
ous two  teams  is  that  with  only 
losing  two  guys  off  of  last  year's 
roster,  we  returned  nine  guys 
who  started  at  least  three  games 
for  us  during  the  course  of  last 
year."

The  Augusta  College 

.adv  Jaguars  basketball 

earn  jumped  from  medioc- 

::•.  in  the  Big  South  Confer- 

■  :e  la'it  year  to  being  a 

A'er  iiouse  this  season  in 

-  Peach  Belt  Conference. 

-t  vear  the  Ladv  Jags  fin- 
-   -d  with  a  11-18  record, 

i  won  the  first  ever  Peach 
Jelt  Conference.  This  sea- 
on  the  Lady  Jags  finished 
ied  for  first  in  the  Peach  Belt, 
vith  a  23-6  record,  and  won 
he  first  ever  Peach  Belt  Con- 
erence  championship.  No- 
>ody  was  expecting  the  tre- 
nendous  success  that  the 
ady  Jags  experienced  this 
eason  especially  after  los- 
ig  several  key  players.  The 
2Cond  leading  scorer  in  Big 
outh  history,  Debbie  Born, 
nd  the  conference  leader  in 
ebounding,  Gladys  Burke 
'ould  both  be  missing  from 
(he  92  team,  but  the  team 

me  together  as  a  whole 


and  rose  to  the  occasion  to 
led  the  team  to  one  of  its  best 
seasons. 

The  Lady  Jag's  sea- 
son was  filled  with  excite- 
ment and  surprise,  with  the 
team  racking  up  a  thirteen 
game  win  streak  covering 
most  of  the  conference 
games.  They  finished  14-2  in 
the  conference,  striking  a 
fearful  note  in  women's  bas- 
ketball in  the  Peach  Belt  for 
the  upcoming  season.  The 
Lady  Jags  also  had  three 
overtime  games  this  season, 
one  of  which  was  an  emo- 
tional loss  to  Paine  College 
in  the  Augusta  City  Classic. 
The  Lady  Jags  blew-out 
Georgia  College  in  the  con- 
ference tournament  finals, 
64-46,  to  get  revenge  from 
an  earlier  regular  season  loss 
to  the  Lady  Colonials.  Tracy 
Strange  won  the  Tourna- 
ment MVP,  and  Kay  Sand- 
ers and  Angle  Long  made 


the  All-Tournament  team. 
Strange  (15.3  points  per 
game,  5.4  rebounds  per 
game)  and  Sanders  (12.1 
points  per  game,  11.6  re- 
bounds per  game)  were  also 
named  to  the  second  team 
All-Conference  along  with 
Robin  Edwards  (10.3  points 
per  game,  6.8  assists  per 
game). 

Coach  Lowell 

Barnhart  was  named  the 
Peach  Belt  Conference  coach 
of  the  year  for  his  outstand- 
ing accomplishments  with 
the  Lady  Jags  in  coaching 
them  to  his  best  season  at 
Augusta  College,  the  Dick 
Wallace  award,  named  after 
the  former  president  Dr.  Ri- 
chard Wallace.  Of  the  sea- 
son Barnhart  noted,  "Its  one 
of  the  highlights  of  my  ca- 
reer." Coach  Barnhart  also 
coached  the  soccer  team  this 
past  season.

MOTIVATION 

The  soccer  team  pushed  for  the  Big  South  title 


The  Augusta  College 
soccer  team  had  a  rough  time 
getting  out  of  the  gates  this 
season,  starting  off  with  only 
one  win  in  their  first  ten  games 
of  the  season.  The  Jaguars 
then  realized  the  season  had 
tarted  and  rebounded  to  win 
iix  games  and  a  tie  against 
anly  two  losers,  finishing  out 
the  season  with  a  7-11-1 
ecord.  The  Jaguars  finished 
Peach  Belt  Conference  play 
Aith  a  4-3  record. 

The  Jaguars  season 
opening  1-9  record  did  not 
eflect  the  wealth  of  talented 
Diayers  on  the  Jaguar  squad, 
nstead  the  opening  record 
ihows  the  result  of  a  lot  of 
lard  luck,  some  injuries,  and 
1  lack  of  unity.  Of  those  first 


nine  losses,  two  of  them  were 
in  overtime  and  two  of  them 
were  decided  by  just  one  goals 
difference.  After  the  Jaguars 
started  playing  up  to  their 
potential,  they  really  poured 
it  on  a  few  teams.  The  Jag- 
uars ended  their  losing  streak 
with  a  6-0  demolition  of  Peach 
Belt  rival  USC-Aiken.  Au- 
gusta College  scoring  leader, 
Ken  Dawson,  had  two  goals 
in  the  game.  The  Jaguars 
continued  their  scoring  binge 
a  few  games  later  with  a  de- 
cisive 4-1  victory  over  St. 
Leo.  After  a  2-0  shutout  of 
conference  foe  Francis 
Marion,  the  Jaguars  throttled 
Columbus  College,  9-1,  in 
their  final  regular  season 
matchup.  With  the  end  of  the 


season  outburst,  the  Jaguars 
finished  the  season  in  third 
place  in  the  Peach  Belt.  After 
advancing  through  the  first 
of  the  playoffs,  the  Jags  lost 
in  the  second  round,  3-0,  to 
USC-Spartanburg . 

The  Jaguars  placed 
three  players  on  the  All-Con- 
ference team  and  two  of  them 
also  made  the  all-tournament 
team.  Ken  Dawson,  all-time 
leading  scorer  (48)  and  points 
leader  (128)  was  named  to 
his  third  all-conference  team. 
Danny  Kight  was  also  named 
to  both  the  all-conference  and 
all-tournament  teams  and  fin- 
ishing off  the  awards  was 
Philip  Dembure  who  made 
the  all-conference  team  as 
well.

DETERMINATION 

Lady  Jags  fought  hard  to  improve  their  recorc 


The  Augusta  College 
volleyball  team  did  not  have 
much  in  the  way  of  success 
for  this  past  year,  but  the  team 
did  learn  everything  from 
their  experiences.  They  say 
that  winning  isn't  everything 
and  the  volleyball  team 
showed  that  their  is  some- 
thingotherthanwinning.  The 
team  never  gave  up  despite  a 
schedule  that  seemed  to  over- 
power them  and  it  is  hard  to 
ask  for  much  more.  The  Jag- 
uars finished  the  season  with 
a  2-22  record.  One  of  the 
losses  came  as  the  result  of  a 
forfeit.  One  of  the  victories 
that  the  Jaguars  did  manage 
to  achieve  broke  an  unfortu- 
nate 32  game  losing  streak. 
That  streak  started  last  sea- 
son and  carried  over  for  the 
first  sixteen  games  of  this 
season.     Even  with  such  a 


negative  season  opening,  the 
team  moved  on.  The  victory 
that  broke  the  streak  was  a 
three  match  shutout  against 
Wesleyan  College.  The  three 
game  match  there  ended  with 
Augusta  College  clearly  the 
dominant  team.  The  final 
scores  ofthe  match  were  15- 
3,  15-4,  and  15-9.  Unfortu- 
nately the  winning  streak 
never  came  into  being  and 
the  next  four  games  were 
disappointing  losses.  One  of 
the  highlight  games  of  the 
season  for  the  Jaguars  came 
in  the  contest  against  Savan- 
nah College  of  Arts  and  De- 
sign, but  AC  couldn't  keep 
control  and  fell  to  SCAD, 
losing  both  matches  in  the 
fifth  and  final  match. 

The  athletes  playing 
for  the  Jaguars  the  past  few 
seasons  have  been  learning 


and  growing  from  their  ex 
periences.  The  team  is  be 
coming  seasoned  and  mor 
cohesive.  The  tough  sched 
ule  they  face  puts  them  u 
against  some  of  the  bettei 
skilled  teams  in  the  region  s 
they  surely  learn  from  thei 
losses.  The  falls  that  the  tear 
takes  now  are  building  a  four 
dation  for  next  seasons  vo 
leyball  athletes  to  come  i 
and  improve  upon.  While 
may  be  easier  for  the  Jaguai 
to  hope  that  next  year's  sched 
ule  matches  them  with  moB 
teams  the  Jags  can  dominat 

j 

like  the  Wesleyan  team  froij 
this  year,  it  will  ultimately  h 
the  challenge  of  tough  rivaj 
that  make  them  more  pre! 
pared  to  take  the  champior 
ship  next  year.  I

Men's  team  gets  experience  in  tough  conference 


Augusta  College's 
Mens  Tennis  Team  moved 
to  Division  II  in  the  Peach 
Belt  Conference  this  season 
which  insured  a  difficult 
schedule  and  possibly  dis- 
appointing records.  Their 
impending  season  seemed 
to  be  ominous  because  the 
Peach  Belt  contained  some 
of  the  toughest  competition 
in  the  nation.  The  men  fin- 
ished their  season  with  an 
impressive  18-9  record 
while  facing  some  stiff  com- 
petition. Four  of  the  top  ten 
nationally  ranked  teams 
were  on  the  Jaguars  sched- 
ule. The  men  were  coming 
off  a  10-19  record  in  1991, 


and  were  returning  with- 
out two  of  the  team's  lead- 
ers: Allen  VanCampen  and 
Steve  Platte.  The  team  came 
together  when  it  counted 
and  finished  with  the  first 
winning  season  for  the  men 
in  as  long  a  time  as  anyone 
can  remember. 

Teamwork  was  a 
crucial  key  to  the  men's  suc- 
cess, but  individual  achieve- 
ment also  played  a  major 
role.  The  Jaguars  were  led 
by  Mike  Hayes  who  fin- 
ished with  a  10-8  singles 
record  and  was  named  Most 
Valuable  Player.  Danny 
Uschiner  finished  at  15-9 
and  was  given  the  recogni- 


tion of  Best  Attitude.  The 
Most  Improved  player  on 
the  team  was  Will  Segraves. 
Only  a  few  names  were 
mentioned  here,  but  every- 
one on  the  team  should  be 
congratulated  on  their  won- 
derful performances  this 
season. 

The  men's  teams 
success  was  due  partially  to 
readjusted  and  attainable 
goals.  The  Augusta  College 
Jaguars  will  be  as  competi- 
tive, if  not  more,  in  the  fol- 
lowing years,  because  of  the 
addition  of  several  young 
athletes.

The  Augusta  Col- 
lege Women's  Tennis  Team 
along  with  the  men's  team 
were  moved  to  Division  11 
in  the  Peach  Belt  Confer- 
ence. The  women  practiced 
long  and  hard  in  anticipa- 
tion of  their  rigorous  sched- 
ule to  come.  Although  the 
team  had  previously  ailing 
records,  they  began  the  sea- 
son putting  their  best  foot 
forward. 

The  women's  team 
surprised  everyone  by 
bringing  home  the  confer- 
ence championship  this 
season  after  finishing  their 
regular  season  with  an  im- 
pressive 17-5  mark.  This 
best  ever  season  came  on 
the  heels  of  a  10-12  record 


in  1991  with  no  conference 
victories  and  a  sixth  place 
finish  in  the  conference. 
Overall  the  team  proved 
that  they  had  more  than 
potential  to  win,  they  could 
accomplish  their  goals. 

Everyone  on  the  Jag- 
uars Women's  Tennis  Team 
deserved  a  pat  on  the  back, 
but  some  earned  their  right 
to  be  specially  recognized. 
Cheri  Cathey  finished  the 
season  with  a  14-5  record, 
was  the  number  two  Singles 
Conference  Champion,  and 
was  named  Most  Valuable 
Player  and  Most  Improved 
Player.  Sandra  Journell  was 
also  named  to  the  All-Con- 
ference team  finishing  the 
season  with  a  13-5  record 


and  was  also  half  of  thd 
third  ranked  Doubles  Con 
ference  Champion.  Thtj 
other  half  of  the  thirc 
ranked  doubles  team  wa:i 
the  third  Jaguar  All-Con  i 
ference  selection,  Lorr; 
Randolph,  who  finisheo 
with  a  11-4  mark  and  wa; 
the  number  six  Single 
Championship.  Amie  Woe 
was  honored  with  Best  Ati 
titude  and  finished  the  sea 
son  with  a  10-2  record.  Tht 
future  is  looking  bright  fo 
women's  tennis  at  Augusts 
College  thanks  to  the  hare 
work  and  tremendous  ef 
fort  exhibited  by  this  teami

5EA50N  FINALE 

Aqua  Jags  complete  their  last  season  with  a  splash 


The  first  real  victim 
of  the  move  from  Division  I 
to  Division  II  was  the  Au- 
gusta College  Swim  Team. 
At  the  end  of  the  swim  sea- 
son, the  Athletic  Director, 
Clint  Bryant,  announced  that 
the  Athletic  Department 
would  be  dropping  the 
swimming  program  at  Au- 
gusta College.  Before  the 
season  started  this  year, 
there  were  rumors  in  the  air 
as  to  which  sports  might  or 
might  not  get  cut  from  the 
AC  Athletic  line-up.  Instead 
of  carrying  all  the  sports  for 
another  year  of  Division  II 
play,  the  athletic  program 


has  its  first  casualty  against 
the  huge  athletic  budget 
which  there  seems  to  never 
be  enough  of.  Bryant 
pointed  out  several  reasons 
for  the  cancellation  of  the 
swimming  program.  "Due 
to  the  lack  of  participation 
we  find  ourselves  not  meet- 
ing sports  sponsorship  cri- 
teria in  women's  swimming. 
In  addition,  with  the  lack  of 
women's  swimming  teams 
in  the  Southeastern  United 
States  and  the  fact  that  swim- 
ming is  not  a  sport  of  partici- 
pation in  the  Peach  Belt  Ath- 
letic Conference,  the  Au- 
gusta College  Athletic  Com- 


i 


mittee  recommended  tha 
the  program  be  dropped 
The  motion  was  approvec 
by  the  Augusta  College  Ath 
letic  Association  and  th( 
President." 

With  suspicions  o; 
the  swimming  program  be: 
ing  dropped  at  the  end  of  th( 
season,  the  Lady  Jaguars  no 
only  competed  for  them: 
selves,  but  for  the  school 
especially  when  the  suppor

LEAD  THE  PACK 

New  coach  continues  strong  leadership  for  team 


Georgia's  rich  tradi- 
tion of  golf  was  upheld  by 
another  inspired  season  of  Au- 
gusta College  Golf.  Alto- 
gether, they  ha\-e  shown  tre- 
mendous effort  by  practicing 
many  tedious  hours  and  im- 
pro\ing  on  personal  goals  and 
a\erages.  Another  encourag- 
ing aspect  was  finishing  ninth 
in  the  strong  District  111  Xorth, 
just  missing  an  NCAA  East- 
em  Regional  playoff  spot  by 
one  team.  Ranking  fifty  sixth 
in  the  nation  of  Division  1  was 
e\idence  alone  of  how  much 
thev  ha\'e  achieved. 

Starting  off  the  season 
on  the  right  foot,  the  Jaguars 
placed  second  out  of  seven- 
teen teams  at  Old  Dominion 
in  .N'orth  Carolina.  The  Jag- 
uars were  sure  not  to  disap- 
point their  excellent  record  by 
placing  first  out  of  fifteen 


teams  at  the  Jaguar  Classic 
held  at  Forest  Hills  Golf  Club 
and  first  out  of  seventeen 
teams  at  C&S  Intercollegiate 
played  at  Cedar  Creek  Golf 
Club  in  Aiken.  The  Jaguars 
had  a  strong  fourth  place  fin- 
ish in  the  Cleveland  Classics/ 
Augusta  College  Invitational 
against  a  field  that  included 
thirteen  teams  ranked  in  the 
district  or  ranked  nationally. 
The  team  maintained  a  distin- 
guished record  by  finishing 
in  the  top  ten  in  five  of  the  six 
tournaments. 

Golf  is  a  sport  made  to 
support  a  drive  for  personal 
excellence.  Individual  scores 
reflect  more  about  the  quality 
of  a  team  than  the  consoli- 
dated scores.  Richard  John- 
son with  an  average  of  73.4 
proved  to  be  vital  asset  for  the 
91-92  season.  Coming  in  at  a 


close  follow  was  Neil  MacRae 
with  a  74.5.  Chris  Kuhlke  and 
Craig  Hislop  improved  their 
averages  with  a  74.8. 

Jim  Kelson,  the  new 
head  coach  of  the  Augusta 
College  Jaguars,  made  an  im- 
mediate impact  in  his  first  sea- 
son. Coach  Kelson  also  seems 
to  have  a  keen  interest  in  golf 
and  a  deep  appreciation  for 
the  players  and  their  roles  as 
student  athletes.  "I'm  ex- 
tremely excited  about  the  up- 
coming season,"  Kelson  said. 
"Although  we  have  a  very 
young  team,  we  also  have  sev- 
eral players  that  have  a  great 
deal  of  competitive  experi- 
ence." 

The  Jags  had  a  very 
difficult  schedule  and  proved 
that  they  could  stand  up  to  the 
challenges  presented  to  them. 

Nikki  Suarez 


"I'm  really 
excited 
about  this 
team. 

We  have  a 
pretty  good 
team;  there 
are  a  lot  of 
talented 
players.  I'm 
just  looking 
to  see  how 
far  we  can 

go."

The  team  started 
practicing  as  a

September  un- 
der heavy  fisted 
Coach  Dip

whipped  the 
team  into  com-

KEEPING  PACE 


Men's   &  Women's   teams   ran   against  the  best 


The  Augusta  College 
Cross  Country  teams,  both 
men  and  wom.en,  were  never 
in  the  spotlight  that  some  of 
the  other  sports  received 
throughout  the  year,  and 
understandably  so—cross 
country  is  simply  not  a  spec- 
tator sport. 

The  team  consisted 
of  usually  about  seven 
women  and  six  men,  but 
sometimes  less,  due  to  in- 
jury or  some  other  intan- 
gible. In  order  to  compete, 
however,  both  the  men  and 
women's  teams  needed  five 
runners  to  qualify.  The  team 
started  practicing  as  a  gf6up 
in  early  September  under 
heavy  fisted  Coach  Dip 


Metress  who  whipped  the 
team  into  competition  form. 
Unfortunately,  the  Jaguar's 
competition  was  a  bit 
tougher  than  expected. 

The  season  started 
with  a  meet  at  USC-  Aiken 
with  both  the  women  and 
the  men  finishing  fourth. 
The  team  then  traveled  up  to 
a  meet  in  Spartanburg,  S.C. 
where  foggy  conditions  and 
an  unmarked  course  led  to 
several  runners  becoming 
lost  (final  results  could  not 
be  obtained,  but  all  AC  run- 
ners did  finish).  Next  up 
was  a  trip  to  Atlanta  where 
the  Jags  fell  prey  to  the  likes 
of  Georgia,  Georgia  Tech, 
Georgia  State  and  some 


other  powerhouses  from  al 
over  the  state  of  Georgia.  An 
other  race  in  Aiken  resulted 
in  a  second  place  finish  fol 
the  women  and  anothe 
fourth  place  finish  for  thi 
men.  The  Jags  then  travelec 
to  Charlotte,  NC  to  compet( 
in  the  Belmont  Abbey  Home 
coming  meet,  where  agaii 
both  men  and  women  scorec 
fourth  place  finishes.  Th 
season  ended  with  the  Bij 
South  Conference  Meet  ii 
Spartanburg,  and  althoug 
the  team  didn't  come  homi 
with  first  place,  we  do  knov; 
that  no  one  got  lost  this  time

CHALLENGING 

Year   was    challenging    despite    25-26    record 


The  Augusta  College 
Baseball  team  entered  the 
1992  season  coming  off  the 
toughest  schedule  in  the 
team's  history.  Unfortu- 
nately the  mo\'e  down  to  Di- 
\ision  n  did  not  make  things 
anv  easier  for  the  Jags.  In 
1^91  the  Jaguars  played 
against  Georgia,  Kentucky, 
South  Carolina,  Georgia 
Tech,  Clemson,  Georgia 
■Southern  and  several  other 
national  powerhouses.  The 
schedule  for  the  1992  season 
was  not  any  better  as  the 
Jaguars  played  in  the  tough- 
est Division  II  conference  in 
the  nation.  Six  of  the  confer- 
ences teams  were  in  the  na- 
tif  >nal  top  25  during  the  sea- 
and  three  of  the  teams 
re  in  the  top  10  at  the  end 
he  season  .  AC  finished 


the  season  with  a  25-26 
mark  and  finished  confer- 
ence play  at  5-12. 

The  Jags  never  could 
get  a  solid  winning  streak 
started  throughout  the  sea- 
son but  did  suffer  some  close 
loses  including  three  loses 
in  extra  innings.  The  Jags 
fell  on  hard  luck  again  in  the 
Peach  Belt  Conference  Tour- 
nament when  the  Jags  had 
to  face  USC-Aiken,  ranked 
5th  nationally,  in  the  open- 
ing round.  The  Jaguars  al- 
lowed only  two  hits  in  the 
game,  but  lost  2-0  to  send 
them  into  the  loser's  bracket. 
There,  the  Jaguars  found 
themselves  facing  topseeded 
Armstrong  State  only  to 
come  away  with  a  7-5  loss. 

The  tough  competi- 
tion brought  out  some  of  the 


star  talent  that  has  filled  the 
Jaguar  roster  for  many  years. 
This  year,  the  Jaguars  placed 
three  players  on  the  All-Con- 
ference team.  Chris  Hodge 
finished  his  impressive  ca- 
reer at  Augusta  College  with 
a  .325  average  and  16  hom- 
ers, earning  All-Conference 
honors  and  first-team  South 
Atlantic  Region  honors. 
Ronnie  Barnes  also  finished 
his  career  at  Augusta  Col- 
lege in  grand  style,  leading 
the  team  in  hitting  at  .345 
and  stolen  bases.  Barnes  was 
also  named  to  the  All-Con- 
ference team  and  to  the  sec- 
ond team  South  Atlantic 
Region.  Junior  Jamie  Miller 
also  earned  All-Conference 
honors  as  well  as  second 
team  South  Atlantic  Region.

The  Augusta  College 
Softball  team  showed  a  solid 
improvement  over  last 
years  8-26  record  in  the  Big 
South.  The  Jaguars  went 
13-21-1  in  their  first  season 
of  competition  on  the  Divi- 
sion II  level  and  held  out 
for  a  5- 1 2  conference  record . 
The  team  started  off  the  sea- 
son with  only  one  win  in 
eleven  games  but  then  re- 
bounded to  slowly  bring  up 
the  numbers  in  the  win  col- 
umn. The  Jags  finished  the 
season  by  winning  eight  out 
of  their  last  twelve  games. 
The  Jags  went  into  the 
Peach  Belt  Conference  tour- 
nament on  a  confident  note 
and  defeated  local  rival 


USC-Aiken  7-2  in  the  open- 
ing round.  In  the  second 
round  the  Jaguars  met  USC- 
Spartanburg  only  to  be 
shutout  5-0.  The  loss  sent 
the  team  into  the  loser's 
bracket  to  face  the  Pacers 
from  USC-Aiken  again,  this 
time  the  outcome  was  in 
the  opponents  favor,  5-16. 
The  team  did  not  have  the 
success  that  it  was  aiming 
for  but  did  support  some 
stand-out  performances 
throughout  the  season  and 
tournament.  The  Jags  main 
pitcher,  Rebecca 

Ridlehoover,  earned  All- 
Conference  as  well  as  All- 
Tournament  honors. 
Ridlehoover  not  only  led 


the  team  in  pitching  with 
2.91  ERA  but  also  led  th 
team  in  hitting  with  a  .34 
average.  Shortstop,  Robii 
Edwards,  also  made  the  Allj 
Conference  team,  by  lead! 
ing  the  team  in  homerun 
with  eight ,  and  RBIs  witl 
24.     The  Jags  thirdbas 
player,  Nancy  Woolwine 
was        selected        wit 
Ridlehoover  to  the  All 
Tournament  team.  Athleti 
award  honors  on  the  tear? 
went         to         Rebecci

OLYMPIC  60UND 

AC   players   make   Olympic   table   tennis   team 


In  tn'outs  held  this 
past  December  in  Cuba,  two 
Augusta  College  students, 
Yair  Nathan  and  Magali 
Montes,  earned  slots  on  the 
Olvmpic  table  tennis  team 
from  their  native  Peru.  They 
1  were  among  only  eight  play- 
«ers  chosen  for  the  team. 

Both  players,  who 
are  currently  playing  on  the 
AC  table  tennis  team,  will 
travel  to  Barcelona,  Spain  to 
plav  in  the  summer  Olym- 
pic Games  on  July  25  -  Au- 
gust 8,  1992. 

Both  players  are  ex- 
cited about  the  opportunity. 
I  "We  know  it's  diffi- 

cult to  win  in  the  Olympics," 
said  Montes,  "But  it's  not  just 
for  us,  it's  for  our  country." 
I  While  both  players 

prepared  mentally  and 
physically  for  the  Olympic 
trials,  they  also  had  to  keep 
I  up  in  school.  The  AC  team 


has  a  strenuous  practice 
schedule  to  add  to  the  play- 
ers' schoolwork. 

"It's  difficult  to  be  a 
player  and  a  student,"  said 
Nathan. 

He  has  decided  to 
take  this  quarter  off  and  re- 
turn to  Peru  to  train  for  one 
month,  then  begin  a  full-time 
practice  routine  for  the 
Olympics.  Montes,  a  gradu- 
ate student,  will  remain  at 
AC  until  June. 

Montes  said  it  was 
her  father  who  introduced 
her  to  the  sport.  He  played 
on  the  Argentina  national 
team.  He  enrolled  her  in 
lessons,  and  by  age  10  she 
was  on  her  way  to  the  South 
American  National  tourna- 
ment for  juniors. 

That  was  the  begin- 
ning of  the  13-year  amateur 
career. 

"I  was  going  to  re- 


tire," she  said,  "But  then  I 
thought  of  the  Olympics  as 
the  last  goal." 

She  didn't  retire.  In- 
stead she  went  on  to  win  five 
titles  at  the  South  American 
Championships. 

Nathan  has  been 
playing  table  tennis  since 
1982.  His  brother  plays  also 
and  will  accompany  the  two 
AC  players  to  Barcelona  in 
July. 

"I  thought  I  would 
play  soccer,"  said  Nathan.  "I 
never  thought  I  would  be 
playing  table  tennis." 

Nathan's  titles  in- 
clude second  place  in  the 
doubles  event  at  the  Latin- 
American  Championship 
(with  his  brother),  and  the 
South  American  Doubles 
Championship,  also  with  his 
brother.

would  play 
soccer.  I

thought  I

Seminoles   Football   Dominate  Campus   League

wrts 


Whether  they  met  as 
gladiators  on  the  football  field 
or  as  warriors  on  the  volleyball 
court  or  golf  course,  amateur 
athletes  from  Augusta  College 
formed  teams  and  lasting 
friendships  while  participating 
in  the  intramural  sports  offered 
through  the  Student  Activities 
Office. 

Basketball  and  softball 
were  also  offered  as  intramural 
sports.  The  sports  were  open  to 
any  Augusta  College  student 
who  was  not  a  varsity  athlete. 
All  intramural  sports  are 
funded  by  the  Student  Activi- 
ties Committee  (SAC),  accord- 
ing to  John  Groves,  Director  of 
Student  Activities. 

"We  pay  for  all  the  sup- 
plies, the  balls,  and  referees," 
he  said,  adding  that  most  of  the 
SAC  money  comes  from  the 
$25  fee  paid  by  students. 

The  SAC  has  only  been 
involved  in  the  funding  of  in- 
tramural sports  for  three  or  four 
years,  according  to  Groves. 
"But  we've  had  intramurals  for- 
ever,"  he  added. 

Mr.  Groves  said  more 
students  became  involved  in 
intramural  sports  last  year  than 
in  any  year  in  the  past  10  years. 

"We  were  even  able  to 
have  a  golf  tournament  during 
winter  quarter,"  he  said  with  a 
laugh.  "We  had  it  on  probably 
the  worst  day  of  winter  quar- 
ter, but  it  was  fun." 

Mr.  Groves  added  that 
he  thought  intramural  sports 
are  very  important  to  the  col- 
lege career  of  a  student.  "It 
helps  get  them  involved  in 
things  that  are  going  on  around 
campus,  "  he  said. 

One  of  the  key  factors 
of  the  success  of  an  intramural 
program  is  tapping  the  interest 


of  students.  "You  could  really 
go  crazy  with  this  stuff,  if  you 
got  enough  student  interest." 

Mr.  Groves  said  that 
one  day  there  could  even  be  an 
intramural  table  tennis  team, 
an  intramural  billiard  team  or 
possibly  an  intramural  rowing 
team.  "It  could  be  endless,  but 
again  the  key  is  whether  or  not 
you  can  get  the  students  inter- 
ested." 

One  of  the  many  suc- 
cess stories  that  grew  out  of  the 
intramural  sports  was  the  Semi- 
noles touch-football  team.  The 
team  dominated  the  campus 
league,  losing  only  one  game. 

After  becoming  cam- 
pus champions,  the  team  trav- 
eled to  the  state  intramural  foot- 
ball tournament  in  Statesboro, 
where  they  lost  two  games.  But 
one  of  those  games  was  a  42-0 
loss  to  state  champion  and  na- 
tional runner-up  Mercer  Uni- 
versity. 

"I  think  we  did  okay 
(at  the  state  games),"  said  J.C. 
Halvorson,  who  was  a  member 


of  the  Seminoles  and  vice-presi 
dent  of  the  Student  Govern 
ment  Association.  "We  wen 
just  glad  to  be  there." 

He  said  he  became  in 
volved  with  the  intramura 
sports  —  he  also  played  volley 
ball,  basketball  and  softball 
to  take  advantage  of  the  SAC 
fee.  "I  payed  the  money  tc 
play,  so  I  took  advantage  o 
that.  I  also  enjoyed  it,"  he  said 

Halvorson  also  said  b 
sees  the  benefits  offered  by  par 
ticipating  in  a  competitive  at 
mosphere,"  he  said.  "Plus  it'; 
an  enjoyable  experience  for  ev 
eryone,  win  or  lose." 

Student  Jody  Wilson 
who  played  on  the  Delta  Ch 
football  team,  echoec 
Halvorson's  feelings.  "The] 
(the  sports)  help  you  meet  nev 
people,"  he  said.  "I  met  a  lot  o 
new  people  playing  footbal 
those  few  days. 

"It  really  helps  you  fi 
in,"  he  added.

communism  in  Russia  and  the  withdrawl  of 
American  troops  from  subic  Bay  Naval  Station 
and  Clark  Air  Force  Base  in  the  Philippines  made  the  head 
lines.  There  was  man\  events  that  took  place  closer  to  home. 
From  the  William  Kennedy  Smith  trial  to  the  Mike  Tyson   ip  ;V^ 
trial,  from  Clarence  Thomas  hearings  to  the  riots  in  Los   | 
Angeles,  everyone  was  interested  in  what  was  taking  place   j 
in  the  news. 

In  sports  the  Atlanta  Braves  were  National  League 
Champions,  which  had  almost  everybody  doing  the  "Toma- 
lawk  Chop."  There  was  no  doubt  that  Fred  Couples  would 
win  the  Masters.  This  years  was  the  first  year  the  professional 
jaskeiball  players  were  allowed  to  participate  in  Olympics. 
What  a  difference  this  year  has  made!

Give  Us  A  Break 


Flags  waved  at  half  mast 
throughout  vacation  spots,  spas,  and 
beaches  of  the  western  world  in  poi- 
gnant soUdarity  with  those  hundreds 
of  Augusta  College  students  who 
were  denied  the  traditional  spring 
break  after  winter  quarter  finals.  AC 
administration  had  finally  given  in 
to  popular  demand  to  postpone 
spring  break  until  Masters  Week; 
but  time  being  of  the  essence,  the 
administration  was  unwilling  to 
deny  the  student  body  the  full  allot- 
ment of  time  spent  in  the  classroom. 

As  a  result  of  this  change, 
there  was  virtually  no  break  between 
the  winter  and  spring  quarters.  Stu- 
dents missed  the  post  winter  finals 
break,  which  generally  allowed  them 
to  unwind  built  up  tensions  in  prepa- 
ration for  the  new  quarter. 

The  radical  departure  from 
custom  was  met  with  a  variety  of 
reactions  at  AC.  While  Public  Safety 
has  not  reported  any  significant  ter- 
rorist activity  relating  to  this  change, 
some  students  have  been  observed 
reacting  with  frowns,  sneers  and 
outright  complaining.  In  fairness,  it 
must  be  stated  that  there  was  much 
evidence  of  placid  acceptance  of  the 
change;  but  that  might  simply  indi- 
cate that  some  students  were  slow 
reactors. 

Communications  major 
Mark  Ristroph  was  both  pragmatic 
and  philosophic  in  outlook.  "I  know 
of  AC  students  who  wait  tables  dur- 
ing Masters  who  earn  over  $1500  in 
that  week.  It  solves  their  money 
problems  for  the  rest  of  the  school 
year,"  he  said.   There  will  always  be 


people  who  react  unfavorably  to- 
ward change." 

History  major  Walter  Schutt 
liked  the  chance  to  get  out  of  town 
for  Masters  Week."  The  money  situ- 
ation decides  if  I  leave  town.  If  I  do 
leave,  the  books  stay  here  and  if  I 
stay  here  I  hope  Hardy  Hall  is  open." 

Kimberly  Hudgeon,  a  part- 
time  night  student  working  on  her 
Masters  in  Middle  Grades  Educa- 
tion, felt  compelled  to  keep  current 
or  ahead  in  her  assignments  once 
the  spring  quarter  had  started  even 
if  AC  was  closed  for  Masters.  "If 
there's  no  break  between  quarters 
then  I'll  have  no  break  at  all.  I 
couldn't  just  put  the  books  aside 
knowing  there  was  work  to  catch  up 
on." 

Sophomore  Vivian  Vaiden, 
majoring  in  Biology,  demonstrated 
an  admirable  reverence  for  tradi- 
tion. "My  boyfriend  and  I  went  to 
Daytona  right  after  finals.  It  was 
great,  but  it  was  only  a  three-day 
break  and  we  had  to  get  back  for 
registration.  Masters  Week?  I  need 
that  break  too.  I  don't  like  golf  and 
I  don't  plan  to  study." 

Michael  Donehoo,  a  junior 
majoring  in  Communications,  was 
not  happy  about  the  merged  breaks. 
Seeing  the  benefit  of  a  real  break 
subsequent  to  finals,  he  offered, 
"Start  the  fall  quarter  early  enough 
to  a  How  for  a  two- week  break  around 
the  Regatta  and  Masters.  Sudents 
could  get  their  break,  golf  fans  could 
enjoy  the  Masters  and  everyone 
would  be  happy."

that  Augusta  College  students  are 
not  over  2 1 ,  so  many  of  the  activities 
they  sponsor  are  aimed  toward  that 
age  group.  Lisa  Walters,  Angela  Fish, 
Natasha  Hendrix,  and  Diane  Dinu,

NiMife  in  AuM 


Let's  face  it.  Augusta  isn't  Athens 
or  Atlanta,  or  New  York.  As  Sterling  Tolley, 
a  Senior  majoring  in  History  puts  it,  "It  is  a 
limited  nightlife.  There  is  no  real  variety. 
There  are  either  really  nice  bars  or  pool  hall 
kind  of  bars—nothing  in  between." 

Despite  the  lack  of  a  college  town 
feel,  Augusta  manages  to  do  well  as  a  town. 
Many  Augusta  College  students  can  be  seen 
having  a  few  suds  at  the  Red  Lion  or 
Squeaky's  Tip  Top.  "The  Red  Lion  attracts 
mostly  an  AC  and  MCG  crowd,"  offered 
Laura  DeYoung,  adding,  "Everyone  knows 
everyone  else." 

Local  talent  like  Sylvia 's  Advice  can 
usually  be  heard  on  the  weekends.  The 
band,  playing  a  blend  of  folk  and  alternative, 
attracts  a  great  deal  of  people.  Bill  Peacock, 
manager  of  the  Red  Lion,  thinks  it's  the 
service  and  uniqueness  of  the  bar.  "People 
want  to  be  taken  care  of  at  a  low  price,"  said 
Peacock.  He  added,  "It's  about  being  seen." 

The  Tip  Top  is  the  other  place 
around  town  to  be  seen.  When  a  newcomer 
walks  into  the  bar,  that  person  is  greeted  by 
hand  painted  walls,  a  juke-box  packed  with 
great  music  like  R.E.M.  and  Talking  Heads, 
as  well  as  by  Stan.  Stan  is  a  regular  and  if  you 
have  ever  hung  out  there,  then  your  have 
seen  him.  He  speaks  with  an  impediment 
but  everyone  knows  he  loves  baseball  and 
the  country  tunes  in  the  juke-box.  When 
Patsy  Cline's  "He  Called  Me  Baby"  plays,  he 
just  smiles  and  breaks  into  a  jig.  "Stan  is  a 
very  accepted  part  of  the  crowd, "  said  Alycia 
Barja,  a  Senior  majoring  in  Communica- 
tions. 

One  thing  which  attracts  a  lot  of 
people  to  the  Tip  Top  is  the  juke-box.  "I  like 
the  music  in  the  juke-box,"  said  Stephanie 
Showman,  a  Freshman  whose  major  is  un- 
decided. Barja  added,  "If  you  want  cheese, 
they've  got  it.  jazz,  country— they've  got  it. 
The  juke-box  has  music  to  suit  each  persons 
ndividual  tastes." 

Squeaky's  also  did  a  number  of 
Disco  Hell  nights.  Emcee  Coco  Rubio  plays 
the  best  dance  mix  of  old  and  new  dance 
favorites.  "He  plays  old  Seventies  tunes  to 
New  Age  rap  and  theKed  I  lotC  hili  Peppers. 
I  le  skips  the  cheesy  pop  music,"  said  Barja. 

During  Disco  I  fell,  (he  pl.irc  ciin 


iJ      - 


get  so  packed  that  dancing  becomes  highly 
restrictive. 

The  extremely  cool  head  out  to  the 
Partridge  Inn,  the  place  to  be  seen  on  the 
weekends.  The  jazz  is  real  cool  and  the 
atmosphere  extremely  classy.  Sit  back  and 
have  a  nice  glass  of  Red  Wine  and  talk  about 
the  week  with  friends. 

The  music  scene  is  alive  and  well  at 
such  places  as  the  Cotton  Row  Cafe  where 
you  can  listen  to  an  obscure  folk-singer 
strum  his  acoustic  guitar.  The  Post  Office  is 
a  place  to  go  to  see  the  well  known  bands. 
This  past  March,  the  Smithereens  made  a 
stop  here  for  their  tour. 

Augusta  has  a  couple  of  good  bars. 
You'll  always  meet  somebody  interesting  at 
the  Tip  Top— whether  it  be  a  psychologist  or 
someone  in  need  of  one. 

For  those  under  21,  Augusta  can 
seem  a  bit  boring.  "If  you've  been  here  more 
than  six  months,  you'll  find  that  there  is 
nothing  to  do  in  Augusta,"  said  Robert 
Kriegel,  a  19  year  old  Chemistry  Junior. 
Natasha  Hendrix,  an  18  year  old  Freshman 
majoring  in  Political  Science  disagrees. 
"There  are  a  lot  of  things  you  can  do— it  just 
requires  a  little  creativity.  For  instance, 
watching  a  movie  with  your  friends  or  get- 
ting a  whole  bunch  of  people  to  go  out  to 
eat,"  she  said. 

One  place  that  was  considered  a 
really  popular  restaurant  to  take  a  lot  of 
people  out  to  eat  was  Vallartas.  Barja  says  it 
best,  "Vallartas  has  good  food,  jumbo 
margaritas,  and  service  with  a  smile."  Luigi's 
was  a  second  restaurant  known  for  it's  "amaz- 
ing baklava".  The  Summerville  Grill,  across 
from  the  Tip  Top  gets  rave  reviews  from  it 
loyal  clientele.  "They  have  a  Mediterranean 
sandwich  that  could  satisfy  any  appetite." 

The  cultural  scene  provides  stu- 
dents with  a  wonderful  opportunity  to  ex- 
perience the  arts  first  hand.  Steven  Stamps, 
a  Senior  majoring  in  English  lists  a  few, 
"You've  got  the  Augusta  Opera,  Symphony, 
Ballet,  Augusta  Players,  and  the  Fort  Gor- 
don Dinner  Theater,"  adding,  "There  is  some- 
thing going  on  two  or  three  days  a  week  to 
give  people  a  great  variety  whether  it's  pop 
or  classical  or  country."

Whether  it's  lounging 
around  in  the  CAC  lounge 
and  watching  TV  or  par-

dents at  Augusta  College 
make  a  difference. 


WHAT'S   THE 

Dimd 


SUirimGr.  The  number  of  students  decreased  tremen- 
dously due  to  the  fact  that  most  students  wanted  a  break  before 
taking  on  another  year  of  classes.  For  freshman  coming  in,  students 
could  not  enroll  unless  they  were  immunized.  Discussions  on  what 
to  do  with  the  old  gym  brought  up  debates  with  students  and  faculty. 
Augusta  College  President  Dr.  Richard  S.  Wallace  died  of  colon 
cancer  on  July  21. 

FSlII.  Dr.  Martha  Farmer  was  named  acting  president  of 
Augusta  College.  To  the  students'  relief,  the  bookstore  lowered 
textbook  prices.  National  Collegiate  Alcohol  Week  was  the  focus  on 
campus  the  week  of  September  13.  Safe  sex  programs  began  at 
Augusta  College.  Budget  cuts  caused  a  hiring  freeze  on  campus. 
Students  that  kept  putting  off  the  Regents  exam  were  forbidden  to 
register  for  the  following  quarter.  September  23  -  27. was  named 
Recycling  Week.  Students  were  given  the  chance  to  find  a  job  at  the 
Ca  reer  Center  Employer  Expo.  Thanksgiving  break  was  extended  to 
seven  days  instead  of  the  usual  three.  Graduation  was  held  for  the 
first  time  in  December.  Ti"  73Q 


WintGr.  AC  mourned  the  death  of  Registrar  Greg  Witcher. 
Jim  Kelson  was  named  Golf  Coach.  Bill  Bompart  was  named  as  the 
new  Vice  President  of  Academic  Affairs.  Presidential  candidate  Pat 
Buchanan  stopped  in  Augusta,  so  did  Dan  Quayle.  The  long- 
awaited  Physical  Education/Athletic  Complex  on  Wrightsboro 
Road  was  dedicated  and  the  Jaguar  mascot  was  introduced.  The 
Lady  Jaguars  clenched  their  first  ever  Peach  Belt  Conference  titles 
in  basketball  and  in  tennis.  The  Augusta  Invitational  Regatta  on  the 
Savannah  gave  the  Women's  Novice  Four  a  gold  medal. 

Dprin^.  Student  Government  elections  stirred  up  de- 
bates on  campus  and  questioned  the  SGA  By-laws.  A  tuition  hike 
of  4  percent  was  approved  for  next  year.  Pi  Kappa  Phi  sponsored  a 
record-setting  blood  drive  with  the  help  of  faculty  and  students. 
Once  again,  the  Table  Tennis  dynasty  continued  as  they  clenched 
their  FOURTH  consecutive  National  Championship.  Honors  Night 
bestowed  honors  on  some  of  AC's  best  and  brightest  students.  June 
graduation  was  held  for  the  first  time  in  the  new  Athletic  Complex 
with  Dr.  Reid-Wallace  giving  the  commencement  address. 

What  a  quarter.  What  a  year.  What  a 

DIFFERMCE 


The  campus  was  full  of  many 
events  that  set  this  year  apart  from 
any  other.  Performances  of  bands 
and  the  Drama  Department  and 
events  such  as  In-House  Volun- 
teering all  helped  to  make  a  differ- 
ence to  the  students  and  faculty. 


Don't  ever  believe  that  one  single 
person  can  not  make  a  difference 
in  this  world.  It  is  the  determina- 
tion and  spirit  of  one  individual 
that  can  motivate  others.  It  takes 
one  person  to  pass  along  ideas 
and  dreams  so  the  world  can  be- 
come a  better  place.  Change  starts 
with  one  person.  Don't  wait  for 
change  to  find  you.  Take  your 
education  and  your  desire  to  make 
the  world  a  better  place  and  find  a 
miracle  waiting  to  happen.  It  only 
takes  one  to  make  a  difference.
