Picture perfect with the gothic buildings -but there's
so much more -you've got to take a closer look -
Through the Ix)oking Glass is one wav to discover.
New horizons. Oglethorpe's bell tower helps to give the school Its special gothic look,
but it also has beauty in the bells sound: they ring at every quarter hour and at the top
of the hour there's a special melody that it plays. Shelly Watts and Mona Lisa Hudda get
a different perspective of the campus when they view it from the top of Lupton Hall.
The Right Combination. One of the
unique qualities of a small school is that
your professors can personally help you if
you have any problems with their class
assignments. Here, Dr. Bruce Hethering-
ton. professor of economics, shows Mack
McDaniel how to solve the problem cor-
rectly.

But when "exam blues" came there seemed to be no cure.
In Wonderland there were so many great things to do,

Students had a hard choice to choose.

And all the banging could make a person irate!
Where ever you sat, it was impossible to concentrate Nonethe-

For sports, the year was absolutely great!

went to the other team.
Next year, you'll have no excuse to not participate.
The year was one of remembrance downtown and at school
The core was changed to be more diverse
Ted Turner was named "Man of the Year" (or universe)
And the hike in tuition took more out of your purse.
The "Journal" covered it aU, even the ridicule.
World problems made 92 a year of international relation
- Warfare in the Gulf was on the decrease
- The Soviet Union saw communisms' release
- And everyone just kept hoping for World Peace.
Thus the graduates stepped into this world full of
anticipation.

Helping Hand. Because Patrick knew
French, he was able to talk with some
Hatlan boys, even though they spoke a
Creole dialect.
Along With the other 13 volun-
teers, Patrick helped about 600
patients over a 3 day period,
mostly unloading supplies and
helping patients while they wait-
ed. His impression of Hatians
was:"They were shy at first, but to
be in such poverty, they're really
friendly. I know some French, so
it was neat to talk to them."
Because of his experience,
Patrick now has a different out-
look on life and has realized; "that
you can really get by on a lot
less."

The sights, sounds, and tastes

the Emerson Student Center. The
event included a reception, din-

world.
At the reception, information
tables displayed photographs and
cultural items from the various
nations. The pictures, toys,

The dinner allowed the guests

Student life

On the eve of All Saints Day. a
mysterious aura surrounded the
Oglethorpe campus. The wet. vel-
vet night was silent except for the
lonely call of the owl. Then, in
strange groups they emerged.
Oddly clad students deserted
their lodgings and tromped into
the night only half aware of what
this evening held in store.
Some students traveled to the
annual Chi Phi Halloween Party.
Although the sounds of laughter
were heard, the potions of which
they partook left them with a lack
of memory at dawn. To solve this
mystery, these students vowed to
return next year in a better dis-
guise.

To add to the evenings secret

normal as they ate and played

Later that night these same
students donned freakish clothes
to compete for the best costume
award at the Halloween Dance in

ticipated in such Halloween tradi-
tions as bobbing for apples.
Prior to these odd happenings,

have thought he had stepped
through a mirror into an alternate
reality. Poker chips were being
shrewdly placed amidst the con-
trast of smiles and grimaces. One
could also hear the concert of
people winning and losing. At first
glance, one might have thought
that people were betting their
lives! However, once inside, it was
obvious this sight was not a hal-
lucination; it was Casino Night at
Oglethorpe.
The people were not betting
their lives, not even real money!
They were just caught up in the
spirit of chance. The purpose was
to gamble the $20,000 given to
each student in order to make
money to exchange for raffle tick-
ets. Topping the list of prizes
being raffled was a VCR. a dinner

The idea was borrowed from the
Oglethorpe Alumni, who had pre-

themselves. Cliff Barros. chair-

with the idea. The committee
hired the casino company, pro-
cured a palm reader, and set up
cotton candy. Then, the OU

idea of performing a show girl-ish

hoped that "the coordination
between clubs will set a precedent

Although it was exam Ume, and

OU officially began the holiday
season with the Boar's Head Cere-

December 6. As tradition has dic-
tated, this ceremony included the
presentation of the new members
of Omicron Delta Kappa, the
annual Christmas concert by the
University Singers, and the light-
ing of the campus Christmas tree.
ODK, a national fraternity for
students and faculty who demon-
strate outstanding leadership qual-

Chorale sang many traditional
Christmas songs, including "Bring

Singers also invited audience par-
ticipation on some of the more
familiar songs, such as "Hark the
Herald Angels Sing." Furthermore,
Mark Tubesing, Christen
Tubesing, and their father Morris
Tubesing sang "Peace, Peace." The
most surprising part of the perfor-
mance was the finale. "Mary's Lit-
tle Boy Chile" was sung to a calyp-
so beat while members of the
Singers played instruments and
danced in costume.
The evening ended with the
lighting of the Christmas tree on

"Autumn" on the guitar, whereas
Scott Lutz played an original
piano piece "Out of Autumn," and
Professor Robert Blumenthal
played Schubert's "Twelve
Waltzes" on piano in addition to
accompanying many vocal per-

Parents Weekend was filled
with family fun. This special
weekend is reserved every fall to
give parents the opportunity to
spend time with their children
while learning more about
Oglethorpe University and the
lives the students live day to day.
Organized by the Community
Life office, the weekend features
several events aimed at allowing
parents to see what life at OU is
really about. During the afternoon
of Saturday, parents attended
OPU (Oglethorpe Parents Univer-
sity), where they listen and partic-
ipate in actual lecture classes
given by the university's profes-
sors. First, however, parents
must go through an activity that
simulates registration while
selecting the classes they would
like to attend.

words echoing from the radio traf-
fic report are probably a com-
muters worst nightmare. Howev-
er, it rarely gets that bad going to
Oglethorpe.
Perhaps surprisingly to some
students, the university has quite
a large number of full time com-
muter students. In fact, the Reg-
istrar's Office estimates that 682
people who attend Oglethorpe do
not live on campus. Many of these
students live in nearby apartment

students, such as Lee McGraw,
ride their bicycles to campus.
Most commuters, however, drive
to the university.
Given that Oglethorpe does
have such a large number of com-
muters who drive and that many
of the students who live on cam-
pus insist on driving to Hearst or
Lupton from the upper quad,
parking had been the major con-
cern for commuters. Fortunately,
John Thames, Dean of Continu-
ing Education, persuaded the
administration to transform the
abandoned tennis courts behind
Goodman Hall into additional
parking space in time for the
spring semester.

A fabulous Petrel basketball
triumph, a huge party, free t-
shirts, and two great bands —
what do all of these have in com-
mon? Well, any student knows
that when you combine all of
these things in one weekend you
get the formula for one incredible
Homecoming.
Unlike previous years, the
Homecoming dance was held on
the Friday night before the bas-
ketball game. However, students
were just as pumped as they
danced the night away at the
Holiday Inn downtown. One of the
principle organizers of the event.
Bo Pamplin noted that "the free
beer and wine didn't hurt spirits
any." Anyone could have seen this
fact as they gazed across the
crowded dance floor. Barbaree
Church, the band that also
played at last years Homecoming
Dance, played some covers as
well as performing a few of their

favorites. Either way. everyone
seemed to be having a fanlaslic
evening!
A few unstoppable party freaks
even rose early the following day
to start tailgating before the big
game. They came prepared with
tarp. grill, burgers, and the
works!
The OU Basketball Team was
on the rampage as they annihilat-
ed the opposing basketball team
from the Savannah College of Art

defeated them 1 12 to 66.
The half-time program was
oddly entertaining as well as
suspenseful. In an effort to set up
the arch, through which the can-
didates for Homecoming Queen
and King would be presented,
members of OSA had a little
trouble, to say the least,

Oglethorpe Day has always
been a time to take a special look
at the university--it's past, pre-
sent, and future. On February
13. student, faculty, and alumni
all shared in the anniversary cele-
bration of Sidney Lanier's 150th
birthday. As an important south-
ern poet and famous alumnus.
Lanier's birthday festivities
focused on a personal perspective
of the history of the university.
Through Lanier's experience at
Oglethorpe (when it was located
in Midway near Milledge\'ille) and
his life, the Oglethorpe communi-
ty gained insight as to what life at
Oglethorpe was like before and
during the Civil War Era. Particu-
larly, many students were inter-
ested in Lanier's involvement in
the Thalian Society, and organiza-
tion still active on campus. He

the Oglethorpe Day Convocation,
the Thalian Society was presented
with a banner to honor its tradi-

Another personal aspect of this
celebration of Oglethorpe's past
was recognition of the present
efforts to preserve history of the
university. Alumnus Paul Hud-
son, Registrar and Professor of
History at the present Oglethorpe,
was recognized for his work in
researching and writing a biogra-
phy of Sidney Lanier. His paper.

So little to do, so much time —
scratch that: reverse it. This
Springfest Weekend was jammed
pact with activities for everyone,
including prospectives, students,
faculty, staff, and alumni. In
addition to the typical activities
for the prospective students,
"Stomp the Lawn" and Alumni

ties all over campus.
Registration of prospectives
began on Thursday afternoon.
Much to the delight of the Admis-
sions Office, so many students
signed up to house these prospec-
tives that not only did everyone
have a place to stay, but some
OU students were disappointed
by not getting to have a prospec-
tive.

threw parties during the weekend
to give prospectives a taste of the

"We won't go back! We
will fight back!" These
shouts rang through the
streets of Washington DC on
April 5th as at least 700,000
people gathered to march in
demonstration for abortion
rights. The march fell during
the season when campaigns for
the November 3rd nation-wide
elections were gaining momen-
tum. Organizers hoped the
widely publicized march would
secure many Americans' votes
for Pro-choice candidates who
would not allow legalized abor-
tion to be reversed.
As the mass of demonstra-
tors slowly approached the
capitol, the Mall filled with
people from all over the coun-
try dressed in mostly white and
purple. These colors, the same
ones worn by the early 20th
Century suffragettes, symbol-
ized the importance of the
issue at stake. Both Democrat-
ic hopefuls, Clinton and
Photos of Ihe Presidents and Terry Anderson were
provided by Wide World Photos of the Associated
Press. The photo of the Pro-choice march was given
courtesy of Elizabeth Watts. Ms. Watts also con-
tributed the article about the march.
Brown, spoke at the huge rally
that followed. President Bush
had retired to Camp David for
the weekend. Other speakers
included Jesse Jackson, Presi-
dent of Planned Parenthood
Fay Walker, and several 1992
candidates for Congress.
Several OU students attend-
ed the march and brought
back their hope for continued
legislation to secure women's
rights to choose. As one of the
largest demonstrations on the
capitol, this "March For
Women's Lives" was a step
toward that hope. (Pictured

Who's next? The 1992

this spring for both Democrats
and Republicans.
Those seeking the Democratic
nomination initially included
Jerry Brown, Bill Clinton, Tom

closed, however, Jerry Brown
and Bill Clinton were battling it
out on the primary campaign

Welcome home! After 6
and 1/2 years of captivity in
Lebanon, Terry Anderson was
released to US officials on
December 4. This was the end
of a brutal hostage ordeal for
both himself and the United
States. Anderson, chief Middle
East correspondent for the AP,
responded to the question of
what kept him going by saying
it was his companions, his
faith, and his stubbornness.
He was the longest-held
Western hostage and personi-
fied the long-running hostage

was the 13th & last American
captive freed since the Shiite

were tortured, and three died.

ring break
The one thing that almost every
student looked forward to during
the spring semester is spring
break. By mid-day on the Friday
before this week-long vacation,
campus was dead, and students
were on their way home. Savan-
nah, Florida, west, or where ever
they though they could find fun
and relaxation.
The students who lived out of
state used spring break as a
chance to visit home. Whether it
was New York, New Jersey,
Alabama, Missouri, South Caroli-
na, or Florida, home sweet home
had a strong attraction for those
who had not seen mom and dad
since Christmas.
Fortunately for Oglethorpe stu-
dents, spring break fell during the
week of St. Patrick's Day. and

Elizabeth Smith took. Along with
some friends, they traveled to the
Grand Canyon.
No matter where they went,
everyone had great stories to tell
about their spring break. The only
compliant was that students
wished the break was still two
weeks as in years past.

This was no walk in the park;
it was the first annual "Walk on

usual "Beach Bash," the Resi-

new way to party during the
spring semester.
Many students felt that the
"Beach Bash." which had been
the spring event for at least the
last five years, had become tire-
some. So RHA members put their
heads together and created some-
thing totally different — Walk on
the Wild Side.
The party was held in the
Upper Quad to take advantage of
the sand volleyball court and
greater amount of space than
Traer had allowed for the "Beach
Bash."

be wild with the strange activities
that kept the energy level high.

Discriminatory and

Debated. On September 17
an incident occured that
sparked months of debates,

OUTYOUTH, unidentified indi-
viduals ran by Shannon CoUi-

was taking place, and shouted
the word "faggots."
Student reaction was imme-
diate and diverse. The

own group not only for them-
selves, but also to help the
greek system itself. According
the the Pi Kaps. the addition of

revitalize the whole greek sys-
tem.
However, the Inter-Fratemi-

ummer graduation 1 992
Charles Longstreet Weltner
'48 OU trustee and Justice of
the Supreme Court of GA, gave
the address at the August 16.
1991 graduation ceremony.
His speech is as follows:
"Before Va'clav Havel
became Pres. of Czechoslo-
vakia, he spoke of the power of
words. He said: The selfsame
word can be true one moment
and false the next, at one
moment illuminating, at anoth-
er deceptive ... The selfsame
word can at one time be the
cornerstone of peace, while at
another, machine gun fire
resounds in its every syllable.
The point is all important
events in the real world —
whether admirable or mon-
strous — are always spear-
headed in the realm of words.
In the beginning of everything
is the word.'
The power of words resides
within several realms where
words are of first importance,
(a) One such realm is the Uni-
versity. The resource of the
University is words — to pre-
serve, combine. & compare.
The process of the Univ is
words — to examine, debate,
and assay. The product of the
Univ is words — to explain,
instruct, and enable. TTirough
words, the Univ creates &
changes many of the standards
of human behavior. Rarely
does a person in the Western
world rise to a position of influ-
ence without being engaged
with the Univ & without
becoming an heir and a con-
tributor to some power of
words, (b) A second realm of
the power of words is the
Church (a term used broadly),
where the very concept of
"word" is an ancient object of
reverence. John the Evangelist
began his gospel: "In the
beginning was the word ...
The first revelation of the
Qur'an, recorded by Muham-
mad, the Messenger of God.
was: "Proclaim in the name of
thy Lord ... Who taught (the
use of) the Pen ..." (Surah 96).
(c) A third realm of the power
of words is the Court, which is
the interpreter of laws. Bishop
Hoadley once said: "Nay who-
ever hath an absolute authori-
ty to interpret any written or
spoken laws it is he who is the
lawgiver to all intents and pur-
poses & not the person who
first spake them."
The Court commands &
restrains public power & pri-
vate interest. Yet. it has no
sword & no pvirse. These
belong to the executive and
legislature.
How can the Court stay the
have of one, & void the act of
the other? B/c to the Court
belongs the word. The sword
may not be drawn, nor the
purse filled or emptied, con-
trary to that word. The power
of the Court is power of words,
as spoken from its bench and
inscribed upon its writ.
The power of words is based
upon the words of power, (a)
Words of power signify the pri-
mary values on which each
realm depends, (b) The primary
values are those standards for
human conduct that are
demanded by the best of
human conscience and intel-
lect, (c) The word that gives
power to the University is
TRUTH: the word that gives
power to the Church is
MERCY: the word that gives
power to the court is JUS-
TICE.
The power of words will
endure only so long as the
words of power reflect what is
a reality of truth, & of mercy
and of justice.
The power of words will
endure only when the people
believe in the strength and
integrity of the three realms, &
trust the authenticity of the
words power, (a) University,
Church, & Court must have
the strength to protect the
words of power from corruption
by others. They must have the
integrity to assure that the
realms themselves are gov-
erned by truth, mercy & jus-
tice. Their domain will depend
upon a steadfast watch, within
& without, against "truth" that
is false: "mercy" that is cruel;
& "justice" that is wrong. (b|
The authenticity of the words
of power will be accepted in tlie
same measure that trutli.
mercy & justice are secure in
the lives of people, (c) Hollnw
words will pass away. Honest
words will stand.

The 9th of May at 9:30ain
in the Academic Quadrangle —
that was the beginning of the
end for the members of
Oglethorpe University's Class
of 1992. That Saturday was
the day of Commencement. As
the graduates marched in to
the The Peachtree Bass playing
"Pomp and Circumstance",
each student knew that this
was the last official activity in
which they would participate
as a student of OU.

was held in the Academic Quadrangle.
The program began with a
welcome by President Stanton

then presented by various fac-
ulty members in recognition of
outstanding academic as well
as leadership achievement.
After the student awards.
Senior Class President. Randy
Greer delivered his remarks on
behalf of the Senior Class of
1992. The point of his message
was simple yet important not

After listing some well-known
problems with the university.
Randy noted. "It is a natural
human tendency to notice the bad
and overlook the good." However,
he admitted that upon reflecting
on his years at OU he realized
how insignificant these "petty
grievances" were and how lucky
he was "to have attended and now
be graduating from such a fine
school."
Greer concluded, therefore,
that instead of looking for the
bad. everyone should focus on the
positive aspects. To emphasize his
point. Greer ended his remarks
with this quote from Henry David

dently in the direction of his

August meant it was time to make the summer a memory.
And to get prepared for our education.
Back to school to gain some information,
as well as lots of mental cultivation.
It also meant that it was a time to be scholarly.
The curriculum and the core got quite a new design.
Several changes were made in history class
And there was even more composition to pass.
You could learn more esp. through a looking glass
Would the new core work? The answer is a ? of time.
Throughout the year, the library was expanding.
And when it's all finished and through
There will be twice as much to persue.
In addition, a 24 hour study room too!
And the new books made study time demanding.
Thank your professors, for your education.
You may think some are "Mad Hatters"
Or that their lecture doesn't really matter.
But they deserve a little thanks or some flatter.
Even if you can't stand them or their examination.

"The library expansion is a great thing
because there will be more books and
students won't have to rely on Emory
anymore."
Tracy Frey
pecial Edition
Well, it seems Oglethorpe
students will soon be forced to
find something else to com-
plain about. Yes, that's right.
The university has improved
the library! Formerly Loury
Hall, the re-named Philip Welt-
ner Library is not only going to
be bigger, it is also promised to
be better.
Aesthetically, the addition to
the building, which covers the
entire rear and the right half
(viewed from the front) of the
building, blends perfectly with
the Gothic style architechture
of the main building. Con-
structed by the Van Winkle
Company, it was designed to
add symmetry to the main
building.
However, the new wing is
not simply a stately facade.
Along with expanding the facil-
ity itself, library services are
also going to be expanded.
Many students should be
pleased to discover that a
twenty-four hour study room
will be available. Moreover,
more books are to be added for
greater research (and pleasure
reading) capability.
As a highlight to the library
expansion, a new university
museum was constructed with-
in the new wing. The museum
is proud to have attained a
permanent display. Mrs.
Dorothy McClatchey graciously
donated a collection consisting
of jewelry, textiles, books, and
manuscripts that she aquired
through her world travels.
Among the Jewelry in the
collection is such diverse
pieces as a pair of 17th-centu-
ry turquoise and silver Tibetan
earings and a 19th-century
French pin. The museum will
be opened in the fall.

Early in the Spring
Semester, nearly a hundred

the faculty participated in one
or more of the eighteen (pseu-

during the Second Annual
Geek Week. The competition
was keen, as Patrick Grey

"Throughout all forms of art, we

Mr. Alan Loehle
hallenge your mind
Oglethorpe has seen a grow-
ing interest in developing its
art department over the last
several years. Because there
are a great number of outlets
for one's creativity. OU has
tried to offer many different
types of art classes. With the
variety of art classes that were
offered this year, many stu-
dents were able to challenge
their minds, tapping into their
own world of creativity.
Besides art appreciation,
one had many choices in devel-
oping a particular skill in one
of many arts. Several drawing
classes were offered to help
develop an individualized
drawing style. For example, for
those interested in sketching
the human body. Mr. Loehle
taught figure drawing as a spe-
cial topics class in studio art.
Some of the more popular
art classes were the various
painting classes. The most
talked about class was taught
by Mr. Richard Serrin. who is
the Artist-In-Resident. Having
an exhibition, "Paintings by
Richard Serrin," in the

Fall of 1989. the university
had the opportunity to contin-
ue to have Mr. Serrin instruct
several classes on the 17th
Century Baroque painting
techniques.
Photography classes have
also been a popular choice to
challenge creativity. Not only
did one learn the art of pho-
tographing an image, but also
how to develop the picture.
Oglethorpe has helped many
to "see" that anything is possi-
ble when the mind creates it.

"I dread Hearst." Spoken
ike a true "Goslin Geek",
Jennifer Allen's sentiments are
shared by most science
majors. Whether it be
[chemistry, biology, or physics,
all science classes are held in
one building --Goslin Hall.
Most science majors view
the fact that Oglethorpe is so
small that all science classes
are in the same building as a
positive aspect of going to
school here. Denise Allen
e.vplains. "It's like a big family.
Everyone goes through the
same things. We help each
other by sharing what we've
learned in classes."
Moreover, the professors
know the students and
sometimes adjust the focus of
their lessons accordingly. For
example. Jennifer Allen notes
that since Dr. Roulison knows
that biology majors do not
really care about physics, he
makes it fun for them. By
drawing from what biology
majors already know, he
relates it physics to make it
more interesting.
Furthermore, most science
majors do not mind being
called a "Goslin Geek." In fact,
many proudly call themselves
that. Students view that name
as representative of the hard
work and long hours they
dedicate to their studies. For
example, Sean Hyden con-
servatively estimates that he
spends 15 to 20 hours a week
outside class in the labs. The
refore, for him and for many
other science majors, being
called a Goslin Geek is a sign
of respect.
Could you help me with this problem? Denise Allen, a biology- major.

A home away from home. The lounge in
the bottom floor of Goslin is more than a place to

Few students who take
summer school classes can
take advantage of the "lazy"
days of summer. They struggle
to keep up with the fast pace of
the summer sessions.
Whether it be the mini-ses-
sions of three and one-half
weeks and four and one-half
weeks or the nine week class-
es, students e.\perience inten-
sive learning.
Not only does Oglethorpe
offer regular classes, such as
American Literature and
Statistics, but the schedule
also offers many special topics
courses. Students were able to
take such classes as Special
Topics in History: Roman His-
tory, Special Topics in Politics:
American Political Thought,
and Special Topics in Litera-
ture: Southern Literature.
Classes, however, were not
the only thing happening dur-
ing summer school. Summer
school students also organized
some social events. Chief
among these was perhaps the
Wednesday Softball Madness
organized by Tim Evans.

Atlanta's skyline is a
reminder to all who
live here that the
thrill of a big city
can co-exist with the serenity
of the suburbs, the beautiful
parks, and our own Ogle-
thorpe. Preparing ourselves for
this fast-paced world was
somewhat simplified with the
help of the strong professional
clubs. They helped to lead us
outside of Oglethorpe's shelter-
ing walls and into the heart of
the city.
According to Dr. Mary Mid-
dleton, the accounting club
was "One of the most active
clubs on campus." Its activities
began with a fall social that
introduced accounting majors
to prospective employers. The
club also frequented some of
the "Big Six" accounting firms.
Graduates were so well-
prepared after four years of
networking and interxaews, an
immediate job placement was
almost guaranteed.
Student Education Associa-
tion (SEA) was also busy.
Oglethorpe alumni who teach
in the Atlanta area revealed
their secrets for successful
teaching through student
teaching programs, which
allowed the education majors
to experience the rewards and
the hard work of their future
career.
The computer club was a
new addition to Oglethorpe.
Designed primarily to expose
members to new software on
the market, the club also
focused its attention on dis-
pelling the general fear of com-
puters held by the average stu-
dent. Games and tutorial pack-
ages for various academic sub-
jects were introduced to mem-
bers and non-members alike.
The psychology/sociology
club held frequent meetings in
order to discuss the problems
faced by psychologists. The
members also discussed the
variety of opportunities avail-
able in the two diverse fields.
Professional clubs focused
on life in the "real world".
Heart of the City. Atlanta, the
largest cir\' in the Southeast, provides
many job opportunities for Oglethorpe
graduates.

There was the national

glethorpe has
always been known
lor its high quality
education, yet stu-
dents still found the time to
participate in its year-round
active service organizations.
Rotoract has been a familiar
name on OU's campus. The
annual Trick-or-Treat-in-Traer
was held this fall for the chil-
dren of surrounding schools, as
well as for the "kids at heart"
on campus. Hospitals, youth
clubs, and soup kitchens were
also among the many worthy
organizations that received the
volunteer services provided by
Rotoract.
Alpha Phi Omega (APO) was
also consistent in its service to
the campus and to the commu-
nity. Collecting goods and
clothing in a Trick-or-Treat for
the poor provided a fun and
worthwhile time for all. The
local Boy"s Club and Probe
fairs throughout Atlanta also
received the help of these car-
ing students who clearly live by
their motto of "leadership,
friendship, serxlce."
Tracy Larson, an active offi-
cer of APO, brought a chapter
of the "Best Buddies" program
to campus this year. Best Bud-
dies is a program designed to
promote special friendships
between university students
and persons with mental retar-
dation.
OU Ambassadors (formerly
VISTA) focused its service on
the campus itself. Tours, visita-
tion days, and phone calls kept
the volunteers busy all year,
yet they still strove to recruit
new OU students as best as
they could.
Alcohol and Health Aware-
ness was designed by a group
of Oglethorpe's staff and stu-
dents to make the OU commu-
nity more aware of the prob-
lems caused by drugs and alco-
hol. The group sponsored the
Great American Smokeout as
well as other support cam-
paigns to encourage students
to lead a healthy lifestyle and a
"drug- free life."

AlthoiijJh Oglethorpe
was recognized as
being a strong aca-
demic institution,
students were partially attract-
ed to the school by the variety
of creative outlets available.
The performing arts, which
included acting, singing, danc-
ing, and playing instruments,
were an essential part of the
campus atmosphere.
The Playmakers - Oglethorpe
University Theatre, directed by
Prof. Lee Boggus performed
Moliere's Tartuffe as the fall
performance. In February.
Do you trust my pious face?
Tartuffe (Troy D\VT,'erl convinces Argon
(Kevin Keenan) of his innocence as
Damis (Devin Pintozzi) looks on.
Alpha Psi Omega pcrforiiu-d
"The Rain of Terror" and 'The
Happy Journey." two one-act
plays. Independence by Lee
Blessing was performed as the
spring show.
With all of the Playmakers'
shows, the audience was sur-
prised. Along with excellent
acting, the sets were unique.
For Independence the audience
was seated on the stage and
had the feeling of being inside
the family living room.
The University Singers and
Chorale also had an excellent
year. Dr. W. Irwin Ray has
been the conductor of the
Singers for six years. The fall
concert. Mostly Mozart, was a
great success. Those who
attended, even those sitting in
the aisles, had an enjoyable
evening. The Singers per-
formed at the annual Boar's
Head ceremony to a full house.
The spring concert celebrated
the sesquicentennial of Sidney
Lanier's birth. The music for
this concert was commissioned
for the 1991-92 Singers. The
poetry of Sidney Lanier became
the lyrics of the songs.
The OU Dance Company
was in its fourth year of exis-
tence and was stronger than
ever. They performed at
Atlantic City Night adding to
the atmosphere of Atlantic
City. Also, their performances
at the basketball games were
crowd pleasing and greatly
appreciated.

There were many
active academic
clubs on campus
this year. We had
The Writing Company, The
English Club. and the
Oglethorpe Academic Team.
The Writing Company locat-
ed on the third floor of Hearst
was instituted to help students
in writing papers for all their
classes. This service was espe-
cially helpful to freshmen stu-
dents who are being their first
major college papers.
The English Club worked
at promoting Interest in the
arts, literature, poetry read-
ings, and music at their
meetings. They also chose the
recipient of the Pierian Award
which goes to a humanities
professor.
The Oglethorpe Academic
Team met weekly this year to
prepare for regular intercolle-
giate academic competitions.
Several team members partici-
pated at every meet.
Psl Chi the psychology hon-
orary inducted their new mem-
bers in early November, and it
is open to people majoring or
minoring in psychology. The
purpose of Psl Chi was to
encourage, stimulate, main-
tain scholarship and advance
the science of psychology.
Oglethorpe's Alpha Nu
chapter of Sigma Zeta was ser-
vice oriented. It Is open to sci-
ence majors with a three point
three grade point average in
science and mathematics
courses, and a three point zero
overall average.
Alpha Chi the primary aca-
demic honor society is open
only to juniors and seniors
who have high scholastic aver-
ages. These students are rec-
ommended by Oglethorpe Uni-
versity faculty for entrance
into this honorary. They also
have an annual scholarship
named for their society.
These three honor societies
are also dedicated to aca-
demics on our campus, they
are very representative of our
small campus.

the day. clubs
such as the Black
Student Caucus, the Public
Affairs Forum, the College
Democrats, and the College
Republicans allowed students
as well as faculty members to
express their theories and
opinions about politics.
The Black Student Caucus
focused its attention on topics
relevant to the people of
African American heritage.
Open to students of all races,
this club met to discuss the
problems among the different
races and to debate the politi-
cal issues that directly affect
the black race.
The Public Affairs Forum
was a more informal meeting
of both students and faculty.
This group met every Monday
at noon in the small dining
room to listen to a presenta-
tion on such issues as "Why
there should not be a NOW"
and "Why the first amendment
does not forbid state establish-
ment of religion." After the
presentation, the group dis-
cussed various questions
raised by the subject.
The College Democrats
entered their fourth year of
existence at Oglethorpe this
year. They participated in the
political campaigns of candi-
dates such as Paul Tsongas.
Although the members all con-
sider themselves Democrats,
most members did not strictly
adhere to the straight party
platform. In fact. President
Paul J. Kane said. "Most of
our members are people who
hate the Republicans." This
club met every other Friday at
noon in the small dining room.
The College Republican
went through a reorganizatlon-
al year. Being out of existence
for two years, the club had
some trouble raising member-
ship. However, as President.
Kent Mckay looked forward to
being a strong voice in political
issues on campus and to offer-
ing students the opportunity
to gain information about the
party's objectives. The Repub-
licans held several forums for
various Republican leaders.

The Oglethorpe Chris-
tian Fellowship was
a very active club on
campus and around
Atlanta. At the beginning of the
fall semester they held an ice
cream social so new members
could meet old ones. They also
went in a group to Stone
Mountain for the laser show,
and other fellowship acti\ities.
A small group also went on a
joint retreat with the Emory
Christian Fellowship.
They held individual Bible
studies every Monday, Wednes-
day, and Thursday with their
regular weekly meetings being
held on Tuesday evenings.
During these meetings they
presented programs such as
Focus on the Family, Tyranny
of the Urgent, Concert of
Prayer, Foreign Missions, and
the Power of Prayer. Every
evening - Sunday through
Thursday - there was a prayer
meeting in Emerson Student
Center next to the mail room.
The OCF theme for this year
was "Knowing God".
They worked with the
Brookhaven Boys Club- read-
ing, playing and all around
helping out.
All together now! The Oglethorpe
Christian Fellowship participates in a
sing-along.

International Club was
one of the most active
clnljs on our laiupus
this year. International
Nif<ht was very popular this
year, and it gave students, fae-
ully and administrators the
ehance to experience several
different cultures at the same
lime. Not only did they spon-
sor International Night this
year, they also brought back
one of the performers from
that night. Mauricio Amaya

ter. The International Club

as an informal way of getting

dents.
The French Club was very
busy this year, they must have
spent a lot of lime baking.
They sf)ld baked goods during
intermission at 'Tartuffe". and
they also had general bake
sales. The French Ckib also
sponsored movies on Monday
nights in the librar\'.
There were also several lan-
guage tables offered during
lunch on Thursdays. The
French. Spanish. German,
and Japanese languages were
all offered so a student could
go and listen to or converse in
any language they wished.

Knights, kings,

among the pieces
of the game which made one
club a team — Chess Club.
The club was re-founded by
three enthusiastic officers and
since its re-founding, the orga-
nization has had a prosperous
year. The members earned
enough money for chess sets
and a tournament clock and
now have enough game boards
to accommodate all the play-
ers; only sometimes there
weren't enough chess boards.

club participated in Geek
Week by having a "live" chess
game: meaning students
dressed up and acted out the
different pieces and move-
ments.
Another of the philosophical
clubs on campus is the
Thalians Society and it is also
one of the oldest. The original
Thalians has its own "Hall":
members had a library, rooms
to sleep in and of course,
rooms to be philosophical in.
Mathew Thompson, co-chair-
man, comments on the club
itself: "When I'm in a meeting,
I look at all the serious young
men and women intensely dis-
cussing a topic and I think
about the serious young men
and women who stood in
Thalians Hall in 1835 and
troubled themselves over the
same problems ... and I won-
der if the President back then
also worried about members
throwing food." "Why All Antl-
abortionists should be Chris-
tian Scientists." was one of the
topics that Thalians discussed.
Paige Mackey of Oglethorpe
Students For Choice presented
the topic.
OSFC was formed two years
ago in an effort to help stu-
dents become involved in the
issue. On Saturdays members
escorted clients of the Atlanta
family-planning clinics who
were being harassed. Execu-
tive Round Table is a more for-
mal setting of Thalians. Mem-

The four publications
of Oglethorpe kept
themselves busy
this year. Whether
in newspaper, magazine, year-
book, or television form, stu-
dents expressed their opinions,
feelings, and memories and
recorded them for future years.
The Stormy Petrel kept its
reputation of reporting infor-
mative and moving stories
while exhibiting students' opin-
ions of both a factual and a
controversial nature. Every two
weeks students could be seen
reading and discussing the
articles contained in the publi-
cation, and the cafeteria was
often filled with faces hiding
behind the open papers. The
Braves' ascent to the World
Series and the Core Convo
were among the big newsmak-
ers of the year.
The Yamacraw staff kept
busy as well, for deadlines
began to appear left and right.
Dedicated editors, photogra-
phers, and writers spent many
anxiety-filled hours planning
themes, layouts, and an overall
book of memories to give to
their fellow students. The
Yamacraw staff proudly pre-
sents the 1992 yearbook in the
hopes that it will be enjoyed by
all.
The Tower. Oglethorpe's lit-
erary magazine, is comprised
annually of works — both
graphic and literary — com-
posed by and for the students.
This anthology of the artistic
expression of Oglethorpe stu-
dents is one of the finest col-
lections of the written emotions
and opinions of our student
body and carries on the tradi-
tion of creative excellence,
"BSTV" (Bomb Shelter Tele-

Leaders at Oglethorpe
were faced with the
challenge of organiz-
ing interesting activi-
ties. With the implementation
of the student activities fee.
OSA including Executive
Council, Senate, and the Pro-
gramming Board have been
able to plan bigger and better
activities. OSA sponsored a
new event this year called OU
Unplugged where everyone with
acoustics talent was encour-
aged to come to Traer on Sun-
day afternoon to perform while
others chose to listen. This was
a nice peaceful study break.
The OSA outdoor movie
nights were held every first
Thursday of each month. Cur-
rent movies such as Awaken-
ings and City Slickers were
shown as well as old favorites
like The Princess Bride and
Metropolis.
Atlantic City Night was held
in November where students
had the chance of winning "big"
with the $20,000 they were
given as they walked through
the door. Of course this was
not real money, but it served its
purpose. Oglethorpians were
given the chance to pretend
they were in Atlantic City for
the night rather than in the
dining hall. This was an excit-
ing evening for all. even if they
didn't win.
OSA and fy-IA cosponsored
the Halloween Jam which
meant double fun for everyone.
Dinner was served in Traer
where the annual volleyball
tournament was held and a
costume dance was held later
that evening. The RHA Beach
Bash was a hit again this year.
[•(HA was involved with the
implementation of the universal
campus phone system and hav-
ing kitchenettes placed in the
dorms. RHA has made many
improvements to the communi-
ty life on campus by encourag-
ing participation in the OU
Does Atlanta excursions.
On their birthdays, many
students were surprised with a
cake and balloons sent by their
parents through RHA.
Both OSA and RHA strive
throughout the year to make
campus life more enjoyable for
all Oglethorpe students.

Oglethorpe Expedi-
tions Unlimited
was re-established
this year after
being inactive for a number of
years. This group sponsored
short seminars on repelling
and hiking, as well as. back-
packing, canoeing, and rock
climbing trips. OUE is a good
example of the diversity of
clubs at Oglethorpe.
ECOS is in its second year
of existence and its influence
can be seen all over campus.
Recycling has been made easy
in an effort to preserve our
environment. ECOS also spon-
sors campus cleanup days and
this year has begun cleaning
along the outside perimeter of
the campus. As well as cleanup
and recycling ECOS tries to
encourage students to be en\'1-
ronmentally aware of what is
happening in the world.
The cycling club may be
small in numbers but they are
making themselves well known
in the nation by representing
Oglethorpe at cycling races in
the southeast. In addition to
racing, they are encouraging
students to ride bicycles, and
are sponsoring an indoor
cycling class in the spring.
Chiaroscuro is a club that
was created for any person
who enjoyed, created, or
appreciated art of any kind.
This year they sponsored the
art exhibit at the annual Night
of the Arts, and the second
annual Art Show that was held
in the Great Hall in the spring.
As well as displaying art.
Chiaroscuro sponsors trips to
the High Museum of Art.
As many have discovered, a
club is not difficult to begin at
Oglethorpe. All an interested
group of people must do is
submit a written constitution
to the OSA. If this constitution
is accepted, an official group is
created on campus. This is the
way that many of Oglethorpe's
clubs were begun. Students
had a cause and a goal, with a
little bit of determination a new
club was formed. This is why
there is something for every-
body at OU.

And hopefully, that special bond will connect.
You'll learn to party and throw-up on the lawn.
If you want a fraternity as part of your weekend scene,
first, check out their supply of beer.
But can each have a different atmosphere?
"Oh yes!" you'll say, but which one is not clear
Chi Phi, KA, DSP, SAE, which one? Go ask the QUEEN.
The sororities also have their own events
They get together to talk about life and school.
The Tri Sigs and the Chi O's are really cool.
Even though, they can't shoot good pool.
Sisters are ladies & fraternity brothers are gents.
The highlight of Greek life is known as "Greek Week"
They get together to battle it out Olympic style.
Sporting events kept them running for miles.
Then at night, they sing & entertain us for a while.
End of the week brings victory for the mighty but loss
for the meek.

GREEK
WEEK
Greek unity — that was the
underlying theme of Oglethor-
pe's Greek Week 1992.
Through speeches, songs,
skits, and field events, the seri-
ous concerns of Greek life
found positive outlets.
The speech competition, in
which one brother from each
fraternity orated on the topic
"What My Fraternity Means to
Me." reflected the personal
conviction to one's own group
of brothers. Themes such as
the vital loyalty to a group and
the fraternity as a family domi-
nated the content of every
speech.
The songs added comic relief
to the week and characterized
each fraternity accurately.
Delta Sigma Phi sang two
songs by Jimmy Buffet; Sigma
Alpha Epsilon sang "I Use to
Love Her" by Guns and Roses;"
Kappa Alpha performed their
versions of "One;" and Chi Phi
harmonized to "Goodnight
Sweetheart."
The skit competition com-
bined some serious topics with
hilarious entertainment. It was
perhaps the most positive way
in which the different Greek
organizations have expressed
their opinions on such issues
as Greek housing and the pos-
sibility of allowing a new Greek
organization join the Inter-Fra-
ternity Council. Not only did
Delta Sigma and Kappa Alpha
entertain the audience, but
these two fraternities, in par-
ticular, also gave everyone con-
cerned with the Greek system
as a whole some "food for
thought." Nevertheless, the
skit competition also provided
the chance to show creativity.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon's skit was
a spoof on the Andy Griffin
Show, and the Chi Phi skit
was a wacked out version of
the childhood favorite Sesame
Street.
An interesting aspect of the
1992 Greek Week was the spe-
cial role Kappa Alpha played.
In order to impress upon the
entire OU community and
especially to Greeks them-
selves the importance of Greek
unity, KA refused to take its
points in the contests.
But I hate Jelly donuts. The Delta
Sigma Phi teammates stuff themselves as
fast as possible in the dine and dash
event. After running piggy-back to the
table, players had to consume a doa
donuts and a carton of milk before das]
ing piggy-back back to the finish line.

Sigma Sigma Sigma was founded in 1898 and since
then, the sisters have upheld this moto of the sorority.
Because of this moto the sisters were involved in several activities
this year.
One of the most important activities is the visit to the Robbie
Page Memorial Hospital in North Carolina, which helps disabled
children through the technique knowiT as play therapy. Around
Easter, the sisters make cards and baskets to take to the chil-
dren. When they get to the

through their C^_L3^ dues.
Throughout the year, the
sisters held mixers with all the fraternities - (except for Chi Phi
because schedules wouldn't work) - even the unrecognized Pi
Kappa Phi's. In fact, they were the only greek organization, as a
whole, to mix with them, no other organization made an effort.
The Tri Sigs had the same number of members as Chi Omega.
even though Chi O has been on campus longer. The sorority has
been on campus since 1987.

Delta Sigma Phi had an interesting year in 1991. First
of all. they moved into a new house, which is three
times the size of the prevaous house. It is able to house
six brothers and has a volleyball court and space for a
new pool table.
During the fall rush, the chapter received eleven new pledges,
the highest number of pledges for any fraternity on campus.
Because of this. Delta Sigma Phi is the largest fraternity of the
four on campus.
During the fall intramural season. Delta Sig won the
football champion ships.

Fralernities are a peculiar American insUlulicjii. While
eomparable student orf>anizations exist abroad, the col-
lege fraternity in the U,S, has grown up as a response
to real needs among students in college across the
country. Students created them, and they will survive so long as
they serve the needs of undergraduates.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon encourages its members to make a com-
mitment to something outside themselves, to something larger

Debbie Fitzgerald
described her first
impressions of OU with
an unmistakable smile: "I
came to Oglethorpe and sat in on
some classes ... I fell in love with the
school immediately." As a Political
Studies major, she plans to attend
law school after graduation.
Her career at school has been a
mixture of Greek life and student
leadership. As 199 1's Panhellenic
President and sister of Tri Sigma,
she had the task of coordinating
rush events with Chi Omega. She
was also a senator of OSA and Sec-
retary during her junior year. Along
with being on the Campus Life Com-
mittee, she was a Resident Assis-
tant. The demands on Debbie's
schedule called for much time man-
agement and long hours with her
"family away from home."

hard lime finding a
Job that incorporates
all their interests.
Barbie Stanton does not
have that problem. Her Inter-
ests are in education and home
economics, and she sees her
role as the president's spouse
almost like a vocation.
One of her many projects
includes the Beautification
Committee. Mrs. Stanton stat-
ed that one of the goals for the
committee is to "make
Oglethorpe a part of a happy
exciting environment which
will hopefully enhance the
whole learning process."
A big part of her "Job"
includes entertainment. She
organizes receptions for stu-
dents, their parents, faculty
and staff. Some of the biggest
functions are the Welcome
Party for new students and
Ihcir parents and the Christ
mas Party. A tree is decorated
with ornaments that guests
can lake home with them. She
also organizes several dinners.
In October, there Is an Okto-
berfscst dinner with lots of
German food for the faculty
and staff.
Mrs, Stanton Is involved
with the two "sister" schools —
Seigakuln in Tokyo and Bel-
grano in Argentina. She trav-
eled with the president to visit
the schools and has given
speeches to elementary stu-
dents.
What Mrs. Stanton enjoys
most is "bridging the gap with
various groups and helping to
facilitate networking. That is so
Important." She added "It's
exciting because we have rela-
tionships with so many groups
from trustees to students."

Wow. it's snowing!
One could hear
this exclamation
all over campus
the Saturday night of January
18. The silence that typically
dominated the campus was
torn with the yells of snowball
fights in the quad and Traer
and sledding on the white hills
ofOU.
Who could study with all the
excitement? One would think
that these people had never
seen snow before. Well, in fact,
many students had not. Chris-
tine Hathaway, ironically a
native of Winter Park. Florida,
had only witnessed one other
snowfall in her life. However,
this snow was exceptionally
special for her. That night was
also her birthday. She beamed
with delight as she exclaimed.
"I can't believe it. It's snowing
on my birthday! What a great

present."
Although the weather out-
side was frightful, students
played in the snow well into
the night. Some students
found cardboard boxes out of
which to make sleds. The hills
between Goodman and Traer
were chosen as the best spots
to speed over the snow — and
each other. Snowball fights
were also fun. In Traer. snow-
balls were flying from every
direction as students would
make ammunition and carry it
to the upper levels of the dorm
to attack the unprepared.
Despite all the chaos, some
students simply walked around
campus in awe of the beauty
only nature could produce.
Unfortunately, the blanket of
snow quickly faded, and class-
es resumed on schedule Mon-
day morning.

At Oglethorpe, students work hard to ensure the future.
In a world where direction is Imperative, OU students
are up for the challenf^e. Students here are determined,
proud, and disciplined. Furthermore, their interests are varied,
ensuring all aspects of the community will get a taste of Oglethor-
pe. Here's a preview to what the world can expect. As a biology
major with a 3.888 GPA, Margie Plagwlt2 looks forward to gradu-
ate school. She plans on working on a Phd in microbiology. She
believes the knowledge of micro organisms applied to technology
helps and improves society in general. Margie has found a true
love in micro biology. She says, "It's very fascinating and although
there's lots of interesting areas, this is the one that interests me
most." In the 11th grade. Sherry Richardson found her direction.
She started taking art classes to form a solid background in the
field. Now she is learning the basics and the principles of art to
decipher what is good and what is not. She takes great pride in
her art desiring to do the best every time. She says. "I don't want
my name and half-steppin' in the same sentence. "Ultimatley.
Sherry wants to be the editor of her own magazine. Elizabeth
Watts interned last semester at a D.C. TV news center. Now she
is trying for an Internship this summer with the Democratic
party. She said, "I feel I can't sit by and watch other people make
policies; I want to be an active part.''She plans on being a politi-
cal writer or lobbiest. So watch out world, here comes the tidal

Parties, alcohol, and sex
— the typical stereo-
type of a Friday night
on any college cam-
pus. Does OU fall within the
scope of this narrow view of of
college life? Most likely, howev-
er, sexual awareness on our
campus is one of the more
important issues of concern for
the student body. Along with
the increased publicity on
AIDS and other sexually trans-
mitted diseases has arisen a
heightened awareness for the
need of responsible behavior
behind closed doors. Students
at OU appear not only to be
well educated in the liberal arts
but also in the area of sexual
awareness. These students are
level-headed individuals that
agree on the dangers of
promiscuous behavior and
affirm that they practice "safe
sex." Junior Alex Argento
William Girton
Lyndra Givens
Gwendolyn Glenn
James G rambling
agrees stating, "I feel many
students do make the effort to
ensure that their actions will
be of a responsible nature." To
further the practices of safe
sexual intercourse, the OU
Bookstore sell condoms to stu-
dents. RA's also provide stu-
dents with free condoms upon
request. The fact is that many
students are unaware that
these condoms are readily
accessable. Junior Chris Bailer
admitted, "I knew that they
had them (condoms) in the
bookstore but not in the FiA
stations."
Students feel that the small
size of OU reduces the oppor-
tunity for casual sex. A majori-
ty of students seek out rela-
tionships with a single individ-
ual and tend to maintain that
relationship.

Most American stu-
dents would love to
visit a distant
country. On the
other hand, the students who
are from those countries would
probably love to visit America.
This year, there were 50 inter-
national students who repre-
sented 28 different countries at
OU.
Seiku Jammeh is probably
from one of the least recog-
nized countries-The Gambia;
which is on the west coast of
Africa. Even though he adores
his country, he left because he
"fell in love with American ide-
als and their education system,
it's much broader." One of the
things he likes best about OU
is its "toughness" in courses
and the people because there
are "all sorts."

he and his family escaped from
Vietnam and communism. His

parents moved frequently to
CA, FL and then finally to set-

school without knowing any
English but he learned quickly.
Tuan's major is architecture
and one his favorite things to
do is martial arts.
Basil Halta is from Jordan
and when he finished high
school he came to visit his
mother who lives in Jonesboro,
which is why he's here today.
He does wish that there were
more students from the Middle
East, he wants to educate peo-
ple about his country.

Rock — A]] these are siblings
that both attend Oglethorpe.
The financial aid office encour-
ages brothers and sisters to go
to school together by offering a
tuition discount for all siblings.
In fact, that is the reason most
siblings cite as why they decid-
ed to both get their education
at the same place. Besides the
discount, siblings count the
mutual encouragement in
studying as the next big advan-
tage.
Although most siblings listed
those two as the advantages,
each pair differed in what they
saw as the disadvantages to
going to school together.
For example. Laurabeth Bol-
ster, the older sister, expressed
her < onrerii ihal i ' ll' . '
way to break awa\ iiMn. lunn,
ties and establish one's own
identity. She said that this pro-
cess was made more complicat-
ed by going to the same school

Robbie McGuigan. however,
felt differently. He observed
that because he came to
Oglethorpe after his younger
brother people were more Inter-
ested in getting to know him.
Nevertheless, he did admit that
one problem he has is people
confusing him ulth his brother
and calling him Tom.
The McGuigan brothers, in
particular, have two other
interesting aspects about
attending Oglethorpe together.

Tis year enrollment
growth, curriculum
development and dis-
cussion of important
human rights issues combined
with a successful fund raising
campaign to enhance the
already lively intellectual envi-
ronment on campus. The Uni-
versity opened in the fall with
1,147 students, a fifth consec-
utive year of more people and
more viewpoints. The issue of
curricular reform brought
intelligent action and interac-
tion among many faculty, stu-
dents and staff. Some mem-
bers of our community came to
know each other better and
appreciate each other more by
exploring human rights and
responsibilities through dis-
cussions of the discriminatory
harassment policy.
As the 1991-92 academic
year closes, OU is building the
level of financial strength
required of an educational
institution with outstanding
students, faculty and pro-
grams. With a goal of $18 mil-
lion. The Campaign for
Oglethorpe had attracted broad
support. A total of $14. 5 mil-
lion had been received by early
spring. This amount included a
well-publicized gift of $3 mil-
lion from the Robert W.
Woodruff Foundation toward
the construction of the Philip
Weltner Library, which is
scheduled to open in the fall.
Less known but important gifts
have come from FL, MI, IL,
OK, GA and NY as well as
individuals across the country.
The strongest themes of this
year atre the efforts toward per-
sonal growth and institutional
progress. For Barbie and me,
our greatest pleasure is shar-
ing in the development of OU
and its students, faculty, and
alumni.

'94M<mA,
This wIiuIl- process
has been harder than
having a baby, worse
than having a football
team," says Dr. Victoria Wiess.
You may think she is talking
about reaching lethargic com-
position students on the
importance of a detailed argu-
ment in an essay. She is not.
She is talking about the new
core curriculm that has been
developing slowly over the past
year. The whole process of get-
ting Oglethorpe's faculty to
agree on the philosophies and
courses present in the pro-
posed core has been difficult.
On September 17. there was
a CoreConvocation where stu-
dents were able for the first
time, to see the new core and
comment on it. Then, a date of
November 12 was set for the
approval of the core by the fac-
ulty. This comes as a surprise
to most students who have not
heard about these changes.
Many were concerned with
what they would find. "For
most students, it has been like
somebody was in the basement
of Lupton making some
Frankenstein monster come to
life," said Matthew Thompson,
a junior on the Core Convoca-
tion Committee.
The philosophy behind the
new core is based on five ques-
tions that each discipline
should address. These ques-
tions are:
What are our present ways
of understanding ourselves and
the universe?
How do these ways of
understanding evolve?
How do we deal with con-
flicts in our ways of under-
standing?
How do we decide what is of
value'.''
How do we decide how to
live our lives?
These questions are broad,
but mean to introduce more
than a rote of facts. Most fac-
ulty hope that this different
philosophy will bring depart-
ments closer together and lorm
stronger lines of comniunica
tion.
Some of the concerns of the
faculty might echo concerns of
the students. Several members
have expressed their desire to
see the core use minority voic-
es and perspectives in answer-
ing these questions. "Decisions
will have to be made about the
representation of non-tradi-
tional voices." says Dr. Laura
Calkins. "Those decisions will
probably be up to Individual
instructors working within a
frame work that the whole fac-
ulty has accepted as being
legitimate for being In the
core." It seems that the core
ahs the flexibility and space for
a more world-wide perspective.
"I hope that as faculty choose
texts for the new core courses,
they'll find opportunities to
introduce pre\aously marginal-
ized voices," says Dr.
Madeleine Picclotto.
"A key concept." says Dr.
Victoria Weiss, "is courses
talking to one another." Stu-
dents can hope that this will
also mean that through the
coherency of the core, more
talking among students and
professors will occur as well.
Even though few will admit
that the new core Is perfect,
"there Is no question," says Dr.
Picclotto, "it Is much more
Interesting and challenging
than what Is now in place."

Students may think
that they are the only
ones experiencing a
great deal of stress
and and enormous pile of
work, but they are wrong. Four
professors have been given
their homework assignment for
the year, and the subject is
tenure.
Doctors Jay Lutz, Joseph
Knippenberg, Madeleine Pic-
ciotto, and Alan Woolfolk have
elected to present a portfolio of
why the University should
grant them tenure.
"The granting of
tenure, "says Dr. William
Brightman, "is not automatic
and is extended to only those
who have demonstrated during
a probability period, outstand-
ing qualities of teaching, pro-
fessional activities and ser-
vice." In order to show this,
professors who have completed
SLx years of teaching and are
up for tenure, compile a portfo-
lio.
The Faculty Handbook
spells out what sort of items
that are to be included. But,
basically, the portfolio should
sum up what the professor has
been doing the past six years.
This puts a new twist on the
old essay — "What I did on my
summer vacation".
After the portfolio is com-
pleted, the next part of the pro-
cess could be argued as more
stressful. What happens next
is the wait. The professor
sends the portfolio to their
division chairperson by Novem-
ber 1. There is then a whole
series of written evaluations
that go back and forth between
the chairperson and the pro-
fessor. By February 20, the
final evaluation and recom-
mendation is given to the
provost. On April 15, the
Provost sends the portfolio to
the President who then shows
it to the board of Trustees.
To stress the importance of
this process, if the board does
not grant tenure, the professor
teaches only one more year at
Oglethorpe. So, if your profes-
sor comes to class ill-prepared
and haggard looking, he might
be going through tenure and is
staying up late at night doing
his homework.

As a professor of
Chemistry. Dr Keith
Aufderheide main-
tains that "hard
work is one of the key inf>redi-
ents in a successful college
career in chemistry and in
other subjects."
In order to keep his class
from being on of those stress-
es, he tries to keep his classes
interested. Each year, he adds
something new. Lately, it has
been the use of computers.
Speaking of his approach to
teaching he says, "It really
depends on the class ... Some
of the classes need to laugh,
and others need to be terrified
... But I'm neither as mean as
some people think or as easy
as others think."
Dr. Aufderheide feels that
the primary reason for being
here is to learn. When the
work is accomplished, then the
play may begin but "there's no
time to screw up."
Tapping into the energy of
students" is one of the most
Important factors of teaching to
Dr. Linda Taylor. Professor of
English, who received her AB
from Cornell University and
her Phd from Brown Universi-
ty. Taylor thrives on the excite-
ment of "things she hasn't
thought of before." And her
enthusiasm for teaching finds
its source in individual student
reactions to literature or her
own personal writings.
By talking to students on an
Individual basis, Taylor hopes
to allow students to "realize
more than they thought they
could." Her focus Is not on
memorization of facts or a par-
ticular point of view, but on
the dynamic relationship that
develops between a student
and literature.
Dr. Taylor prefers to spend
her free time "looking out of a
window, listening to music and
writing." Since her appoint-
ment in 1975. she has contin-
ued to find something new and
"unthought of in what is writ-
ten and said by those around
her.

Among national Liber-
al Arts Colleges.
Oglethorpe ranks in
the fourth Quartile
according to US News And
World Report's annual survey
of America's best colleges and
universities.
US News And World Report
states that 50% of Oglethorpes
students come from the top ten
percent of their class, that the
average SAT score of an
incoming student is 1120. and
that spending per student is
$10,950 per year. Its survey
also shows OU retaining 74%
of its freshmen, and graduat-
ing only 54% of its students in
four years.
These last three statistics
are considerably lower than
other schools and result likely
in Oglethorpe's lower ranking.
Other schools spent consider-
ably more per student and
were able to retain and gradu-
ate them at a higher rate.
Buchnell University in PA
spent $5,000 more per student
and graduated 87% of their
students within four years.
Bucknell also held on to 93%

of its freshmen.
Oglethorpe's SAT scores
were the third highest in the
state, behind Emory and Geor-
gia Tech. OU was also second
to Georgia Tech in terms of
percentage of students coming
from the top 10% of their high
school class.
However, OU lagged behind
other GA schools in the overall
rankings. Agnes Scott topped
the second quartile, while
Emory and Georgia Tech were
both listed among the first
quartile of national universi-
ties.
The top five Liberal Arts
Colleges were Williams.
Swarthmore, Amherst, Bow-
doin. and Pomona.
The rankings were based on
standards set by the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advance-
ment of Teaching: data was
collected from the colleges.
Faculty Phd rates, graduation
rates, and freshmen retention
rates accounted for 75% of the
scores: 20% was based on
finances and 5% on student
polls.

does iiol think of
the admissions office's contri-
bution to the whole process.
The awards process can be dif-
ferentiated into two categories:
Academic Scholarships and
need-based financial aid. The
completed scholarship applica-
tion is sent to the Admissions
office where a ranking, based
upon criteria determined by
the particular scholarship's
rules, is assigned to the appli-
cation. In regard to Oglethorpe
University scholarships, the
assigned rankings are given a
set amount of money deter-
mined by OU's administration.
The application is then sent to
the Financial Aid office where
the mechanics of writing the
award letter and assinging the
pre-set amount of money is
completed.
The ranking system is based
on a scale of one through six,
which ranges from the highest
scholarship amount a student
can receive to the lowest. For
example, the highest scholar-
ship awarded by OU is the
■ James Edward Oglethorpe
s( holarship. A student being
considered for this scholarship
would be designated a one. The
reason for the ranking system
is so that the members of the
Admissions committee do not
have to deal with monetary
amounts when determining ihie
worth of a student. The criteria
for awarding a grant can be
either academic or need based.
There are several types of
grants involved in the finamclal
aid process. One is the Georgia
Tuition Equalization Grant.
Another type of grant is the
Oglethorpe Grant which is a
need based grant. Students
can also get aid in the form of
a Federal Grant.
According to the Admissions
office, the admissions process
at Oglethorpe University is
needs-blind. This means that
the admissions committee docs
not consider the financial sta-
tus of an applicant when deter-
mining admission to the uni-
\'ersity.

Did yoii ever wonder
why, when JEO
rolls around, they
get china and we get
aper plates, they get our cafe-
[;rla and we get Conference
loom A, they get hot food and
■e get cold food — basically,
ilow we get shoved aside? Also,
onsider the issues of the
onor code and the harass-
lient policy, both of which
eem to exist only to impress
le parents of perspectives, not
iL aid the students who
ilready live and study here,
ou must understand that this
jrticle is written by students
'ho really care about the uni-
ersity and are appreciative of
' tie attempts at improvement
1 the dining service and in
tudent relations. But it is
jimply ridiculous that the per-
Ipective students and outside
iterests are given a higher pri-
Irlty than the present student
!ody. When one cannot take a
est because of the noise of a
lovle crew, one has to wonder
] f the powers that be are more
interested in making money
than providing the student
body with what is promised in
the O' Book and the Housing
Manual. Not that this in neces-
sarily the case, and not that we
dislike the movie crews and the
notoriety that the school
receives; they just should not
be catered to in lieu of the aca-
demics.
So what is the result of all
this? Perspective students are
given first class treatment, but
once enrolled they realize that
this is only a recruiting tech-
nique, not a slice of everyday
life at Oglethorpe. This creates
a disillusionment with univer-
sity life. And the administra-
tion wonders why the retention
rate is so low. This university
does not exist to provide jobs
for philosophers, higher math-
ematicians, presidents and
deans. The university, as a tool
of the highest learning, exists
so that we can receive a quality
education. Unfortunately, the
false pretext given to perspec-
tives and others about life at
Oglethorpe dislrai:t.s Ihcin hoiu
their academic persults and
magnifies the problems that
naturally exist between stu-
dents and the administration.
In summation, one can
receive a quality education at
Oglethorpe, but in doing so.

Athletic victory is a great achievement
because of the new conference tournament.
All through the year, fans were thrilled.
The athletic department gained two new sports
They added basketball to women in the fall
and in the spring, after 13 years, came baseball.
Both were new teams, so they started out small.
But they will be strong, Jack Berkshire reports.
Team support from students was outstanding
Thus the volleyball team was on a roll
and the soccer team had foot control.
While the tennis players were great on the whole.

team proves strong.
"The freshmen did a fabu-
lous job stepping; into the roles
and playing like Juniors and
Seniors," senior Jerry Jerome
said of the nine freshmen who
joined the 1991 OU soeecr
team.
This season was Brett
Teach's second year coaching
men's soccer at Oglethorpe. He
has made a big impact on the
program. This year, for the
first time, the men were able to
be competitive with the likes of
Emory and Berry and to beat
Millsaps for the first time in a
while.
One of the most exciting
games was at Emory Universi-
ty where the guys were tied 2
all with 20 minutes left and
had a chance of winning. The
Petrels put forth a valiant efrort
and despite a few key injuries,
finished second in the match.
Because the team was so
young, their success next year
depends on — if they work
hard and work together — and
if they pass on their bonding
experience to the incoming
freshmen — then they should
continue to improve and
remain competitive. The final
standing of the team was eight
wins and ten losses.
If only Pizza Hut would

TEAMWORK
makes the difference.
Defense! Midfielder Amy Baker rushes to defend against a Millsaps opponent.
With six freshman, six
returning players, and only
three upperclassmen, this
year's Women's Soccer Team
was a very young squad. All of
the members of the original
club team have graduated,
thus the team was a combina-
tion of just two recruiting
classes and a few walk-ons.
Because of this, working
together as a team was very
important for the Lady Petrels
this season.
Between long practices, road
trips, and six am runs on the
baseball field, the individual
players slowly began to come
together as a team. They knew
it would be a lot of work, so
the members put their best
into almost every practice. But
members of any team sport
at OU are considered
student/athletes. This means
that school work had first pri-
ority and would account for the
missed practices.
One game that really helped
pull the team closer, was
against Centre College. The
Petrels needed a win to get a
place in the conference tourna-
ment, and the score was tied at
zero after regulation and over-
time. Michelle Ponte, Amy
Baker, and Shelley Robinson
scored on penalty kicks to lead
the team to a victory.
Coach Brett Teach said, "I
really don't think the final
record reflects the improve-
ment of the team." By the end
of the season, the Lady Petrels
were starting to turn some
heads in the conference, and
they should be a team to rekon
with ne.xt season."

McGuigan crosses the line after having
finished a hard race at home. Soon after
the race. Robbie will discover what it i
on the clipboard that is keeping Coacl
Unger so occupied.
The men's cross country
team also finished the season
with a very good record of 10-
1 . Their only loss was to Mer-
cer and that meet was a heart
breaker because the team only
lost by three points. Like
Coach Unger said. "That
hurts."
Besides this one meet, the
team had absolutely nothing to
complain about. The season
was great and ended with a
eight meet winning streak.
The team has a lot of young
talent and has much to look
forward to in the years to
come. The team's only senior,
Robert Canavan, will leave
after having competed for
Oglethorpe for the last four
years. Will Corum, Robbie
McGuigan, and Beau Lyons
added greatly to the team's
success with their determina-
tion and skill.
The team had many suc-
cesses this season including
their first place finish at the
Covenant Invitational. They
also earned a strong second
place in the Atlanta All-Star
Classic Invitational. Perhaps
the biggest victory for the team
was in Newport News, Virginia
when they finished 8th out of
twenty four hard teams. At this
meet Beau Lyons received the
honor of NCAA All-Conference.
Coach Unger called this
"Oglethorpe's finest perfor-
mance in recent memory."
Needless-to-say, he was very
satisfied with the final record
of the season. Good work!

A bored, antsy student sat
around his dorm room on a
school night unattentively
flipping the television channels.
He found a rerun that he hadn't
seen and plopped down with
some potato chips & Pop. He
anticipated another dull
weekday evening.
Then the phone rang. A
friend called to remind him that
the field house was "open." He
then became one of the many
students who took advantage of
intramurals.
The intramural volleyball
season was successful: student
participation was one of the
best. The tournament
champions for the men was the
Pi Kappa: Tree Trunks for the
women.
The flag football season
contests consisted of a double
round robin schedule with ever>'
team playing each other twice.
There was a three way tie for
first place in the men's league
with Delta Sig, SAE and the
Soupbones all with a record of
8-2. KA finished 4th with a 3-7
record, Marga's perfume was
5th at 2-8 & Chi Phi 6th with
1-9. The women's league
champion was the Tree trunks
with a 5-1 record. Tri Sigma

men's coach
Jack Berkshire
assembled his
basketball team in November,
he had plenty of reason to
worry. The men only had two
returning starters. But regard-
less of youth and inexperience,
the squad did win games and
established respect in its first
year in the Southern Collegiate
Athletic Conference. The men
finished the season at 16-9 and
at one time, Berkshire's bunch
was leading the nation, in all
three divisions, in 3-point shoot-
ing and was among the top in
field goal percentage.
Berkshire was blessed with
sharp shooting guards, as
senior Tom Brambley and
■soplKjiiiorc liriau KiHj>iiis Ijtjth
hit over 40 percent from the 3-
point range. Four players aver-
aged in double figures, including
Brambley (13. 6 ppg). Riggins
(13. 2), sophomore center Brian
Davis (10. 8) and senior David
Fischer (11. 1). Fischer and
Brambley were the two return-
ers with experience and both
effectively played their roles in
performance and leadership.
Besides scoring, Brambley led
the team in steals and free
throw percentage. Fischer was
the team's leading rebounder
with 8. 9 per game, shot 46 per-
cent from the field and over 80
percent from the foul line. Fis-
cher also was named to the GTE

Besides these four, Berk-
shire had several players step
in and make and impact,
including freshmen Greg Bar-
ber, Cornell Longino and Andy
Schutt. Barber led the team in
assists and played the point
guard slot. Longino was an
excellent offensive player with
exceptional quickness and
Schutt led the team in field
goal percentage (61.2 percent)
and came off the bench to spell
Fischer and Davis inside.
Berkshire developed his
other young players quickly,
using freshmen Shane Strick-
land and Matt Schlabs in the
back court and Kevin Carlisle
at forward.
A big highlight for the
Petrels this season was captur-
ing their second consecutive
Stormy Petrel Classic Tourna-
ment. Riggins earned tourney
MVP honors, while Fischer and
Brambley were named to the
All-Toumament Team.
Overtime losses at home to
conference champion Centre
and runner-up Rhodes kept
the Petrels out of the race for
the championship, but it was
evident that they were competi-
tive in their new conference;
they tied for fourth place. "I
have never played this many
freshmen and sophomores,"
stated Berkshire. 'To continue
our winning tradition while
doing so is a positive sign and
an indication of exciting sea-
sons ahead!" -D. Neugebauer

"We haven't played anybody
on our schedule with near the
team we have." Coach Brenda
Hillman said. "Basically, we've
had to make the transition
from high school to college bas-
ketball on the court."
And they've done it well!
"Hillman and Company" won
their first game ever, a 1 0 point

MESH and the Bad
Boys were de-
clared co-champi-
ons in the Divi-
sion II Intramural Basketball
Championship, after the score-
keeper made a game-altering
mistake. With just over fifty
seconds to go in the game.
MESH sunk two free-throws,
but the score keeper notched
one point for each team. The
mistake went unnoticed and
the Bad Boys brought the ball
down the court. "1 got the ball
with 46 seconds and the score-
board said we were down by
one," said Bad Boy leading
scorer Kevin Henderson. He
went on to explain that the
Bad Boys wasted over thirty
seconds before sinking a bas-
ket to put them "in the lead."
MESH raced down the court
and Mike Chambers got fouled
with eight seconds to go. He
missed both his free throws
and the Bad Boys killed the
remaining time. "It wouldn't be
fair to give them the champi-
onship after we killed the
clock." said Henderson, "but it
wouldn't be fair to give it to us
either. They did score more
points than us." The Bad Boys
knocked out UGPB in the first
round and edged PSD in the
second, before facing MESH
who ousted Chi Phi for the
tournament. FSD was 3rd and

comeback is strong.
A a wc begin a new era
of baseball at
Ofilelhorpe. we must
understand that a
new program means a very
young and inexperienced team
competing against the best
teams that tJie NCAA Division
III has to offer. Under the
direction of Pete Meyer, the
Stormy Petrels faced stiff com-
petition from many outstand-
ing programs Including the
1989 National Champions.
North Carolina, Wesleyan, and
Methodist. It should be noted
that of the 36 games, 32 were
played on Anderson Field.
The Petrels ended their his-
toric season with a 23-14
record. They also finished third
in the conference East Division
with a 9-0 record, which gave
the the best overall record In
the Southern Collegiate Athlet-
ic Conference.
One of the season's high-
lights was a conference sweep
of a three game series with
Centre College. In the first
game the Petrels came back
from a shakey start to win.
With the help of Tommy Gam-
bino who drove in the winning
run in the bottom of the sev-
enth inning to win 3-2. In the
second game, Jimmy Moccio
drove in the winning runs in
the bottom of the sixth to win
8-6. And in the third . Matt
Weiner hit a two run homer in
the bottom of the sixth to win
3-2. The pitching staff was the

standing catcher.
Tlie infield seemed to be the
Petrels strong suit. Sophomore

both 3B and shortstop while
freshmen Tommy Gambino
saw time at short and 28 and
Jay Folds at 2B and 3B. Mike
Thomas held down the IB job
when not on the mound.

Cheerleaders
change with the times.
im Digenerro. a first
Tyear cheerleader com-
ments about the squad
and his experience: "I
enjoy it personally and believe
it or not, it's a lot harder that it
looks." he adds "My friends kid
me about it; they think I'm
only it it because of the girls."
This typical stereo type of male
cheerleaders didn't seem to
phase the eight guys who par-
ticipated. Some people may
think that male cheerleaders
are sissys, but in reality, it
takes a lot of strength, balance
and timing to be capable of lift-
ing girls above your head.
Some of the stunts they per-
formed were the basket-toss,
the throw chair and the torch.
In preparation for Home-
coming, they practiced 5 days
a week for about 3 hours; com-
ing up with new and original
stunts. At the end of the week
Tim was sore, but he said that
cheering "limbered him up."
