TALK  ABOUT 

The  beaches  \vere  empty,  summer  camps  closed  their 
doors  and  the  leaves  changed  their  colors  ever  so  slightly. 
These  were  sure  signs  that  summer  had  come  to  an  end  and 
once  again,  school  was  back  in  session. 

As  students  poured  back  on  to  campus,  they  were  faced 
Avith  the  same  old  problems-  w^here  to  park,  dealing  with 
difficult  roommates,  financial  aid  woes,  class  scheduling 
traumas  and  career  dilemmas. 

However,  bold  new  questions  w^ere  thrown  at  stu- 
dents from  every  direction.  Was  it  racist  to  call  ourselves 
the  Seminoles  and  continue  "the  chop"  after  we  were  so 
proud  when  our  football  team  ^von  their  first  Atlantic 
Coast  Conference  title?  (Continued  on  page  5)

Were  all  of  the  allegations  about  cocaine  addiction  and  sexual 
misconduct  about  respected  history  professor  Dr.  David 
Ammerman  true?  What  would  happen  to  the  United  States 
now  that  a  democratic  president  had  taken  control  of  the 
White  House?  Would  the  standard  of  living  and  the  economy 
improve  or  get  ^vorse?  Why  did  it  become  almost  impossible 
for  English  majors  to  enroll  in  their  classes? 

No  matter  how  their  questions  were  answ^ered,  the  year 
began  on  a  controversial  note.  Students  tried  to  maintain 
their  sanity  and  keep  themselves  focused  on  their  future 
challenges,  while  dealing  with  the  changes  of  the  day.

jCxmlU LL LO rL ,  courage,  friendship  and  freedom. 
Those  words  described  student  Ufe.  Each  and  every  stu- 
dent who  stepped  foot  on  this  campus  grew^  into  a  neAV  and 
bold  person  who  experienced  hfe,  both  good  and  bad. 

Ambition  described  the  hard  work  and  tenacity  it  took 
for  Student  Body  President  Jeanne  BeUn  to  run  for  a  seat 
on  the  City  Commission  while  maintaining  her  position  in 
student  government.  Belin  was  the  youngest  candidate  to 
challenge  her  opponents. 

Courage  described  the  student  victims  of  Hurricane 
Andrew  \vho  were  forced  to  help  rebuild  their  homes  after 
its  devastating  visit  to  South  Florida.  University  students 
across  the  state  began  ongoing  clean  up  and  relief  cam- 
paigns for  the  survivors. 

Friends  described  those  people  who  surrounded  us 
and  made  our  days  a  little  brighter.  They  stuck  by  us 
through  the  good  times,  but  more  importantly,  through  the 
bad  ones. 

Freedom  was  the  privilege  of  choosing  our  nation's 
leader. 

Without  a  doubt, student  life  certainly  gave  us  something 
to  think  about.

WHAT  IT  TAKES  FOR  STUDENTS 

TO  RELAX,  SOCIALIZE  AND  TAKE 

CARE  OF  BUSINESS 


"Please  enter  your  social  security  number  followed 
by  the  pound  key,  now,  "  hummed  the  impersonal 
computer  voice  from  the  other  end  of  the  telephone 
line.  Although  many  students  would  have  relished 
taking  a  chain  saw  to  their  telephones  during 
registration,  they  called  continually  until  they  had  their 
schedules  bordering  on  perfection.  Some  students 
juggled  their  schedules  around  their  source  of  income 
while  others  planned  their  classes  around  interests 
such  as  sunbathing,  catching  their  soap  operas  or  just 
maintaining  the  appropriate  eight  hours  of  sleep. 

"I  schedule  my  classes  in  the  morning  because  I 
w^ork  in  the  afternoon,"  Wakulla  High  School  football 
coach  Bert  Johnson  said. 

"I  take  classes  according  to  my  sleep  schedule," 
criminology  major  Mike  Allen  said.  "My  classes  don't 
start  until  1 1  a.m.  on  Monday,  Wednesday  and  Friday 
and  I'm  done  before  1  p.m.  " 

"All  my  classes  are  in  the  afternoon  because  I'm  a 
French  major.  The  upper  level  French  classes  are  in 
the  afternoon,  "  senior  Laura  Leduc  said.  "I  guess 
French  professors  really  dislike  morning  classes." 

Athletes  faced  the  insurmountable  task  of  organizing 
their  days  and  nights  around  grueling  hours  of  practices. 
However,  their  schedules  did  not  prove  to  be  a  problem 
because  the  athletic  department  emphasized  academics. 
"  Having  to  rearrange  our  schedules  around  practice 
for  baseball  is  not  a  hassle  because  we  have  an  academic 
advisor  just  for  us,"  baseball  player  Doug 
Alientkiew^iczy  said.  "If  we  have  to  make  an  exception, 
the  coaching  staff  will  do  their  best  to  work  around  my 
schedule." 

"It's  really  not  a  problem  at  all  because  due  to 
athletic  priorities,  we  get  the  classes  we  need,  when  we 
need  them,"  left  fielder  Clint  Hendry  said. 

Many  students  who  lived  off  campus  took  the 
increasing  problem  of  parking  into  consideration  w^hen 


they  registered.  Because  there  were  only  8, 000  parking 
spaces  and  there  were  some  25,000  students  living  off 
campus,  some  did  not  want  to  take  the  chance  of 
missing  a  class  because  they  got  trapped  in  the  quest  of 
campus  parking. 

"I  basically  schedule  around  parking.  All  of  my 
classes  are  in  the  morning  so  I  can  get  a  space,  "  junior 
Sarah  Bull  said.  "They're  all  close  together,  so  I  don't 
have  to  leave  campus.  I  guess  that's  about  parking, 
too.  " 

For  many,  the  ideal  schedule  consisted  of  classes 
that  were  as  close  together  as  possible.  This  eliminated 
the  problem  of  being  in  limbo  for  a  few  hours  with 
nothing  more  appealing  to  do  than  procrastinate. 

"I  schedule  my  classes  close  together  so  I  only  have 
fifteen  minutes  between  them,"  theater  major  Laura 
Conners  said.  "The  more  time  I  have  between  classes, 
the  slimmer  the  chances  are  that  I'll  go.  " 

"My  classes  are  right  after  each  other,  so  I  don't 
have  to  leave  the  engineering  campus  and  come  back,  " 
civil  engineering  major  George  Katsaras  said. 

Other  students,  especially  freshmen,  were  not  so 
fortunate. 

"I  scheduled  around  what  I  could  get.  I  have  five  8 
a.m.  classes!  I  just  took  whatever  was  available," 
freshman  Chris  Daughtry  said. 

Although  a  day  in  the  life  of  a  college  student  could 
be  hectic  beyond  belief,  students  were  surprised  to  find 
themselves  having  time  to  kill  between  classes.  For 
many,  this  brief  respite  was  a  godsend,  the  perfect 
chance  to  relieve  stress  and  let  the  heart  rate  return  to 
normal. 

"I  study  most  of  the  time,  but  when  I'm  done,  I 

watch  the  people  go  by,  "  freshman  Roxanne  Voorting 

said.    "To  tell  the  truth,  I  love  the  grass  and  trees  on 

Landis  Green.   It  looks  like  a  postcard  or  something.

Business  major  Hilda  Cenecharles  said  she  found  her 
sanctuary  indoors. 

"When  I  don't  go  to  the  Hbrary  to  study,  I  go  to  Club 
Downunder  to  watch  my  soaps.  " 

The  Union  offered  activities  for  students  between 
classes.  It  met  the  four  basic  needs  of  college  students: 
food,  drink,  socialization  and  even  peace.  Students 
picked  up  mail  from  Mom  and  Dad,  stood  in  the  ATM 
line  and  grabbed  some  Twinkies  at  the  Corner  Grocery 
"On  Wednesdays,  I  go  to  the  flea  market  at  the  Union 
to  hear  the  band,"  clinical  psychology  major  Jen  Paxton 
said. 

"This  is  just  like  Disney  World, "  freshman  Paul  Zimski 
said.  "Just  stand  in  the  Access  Line  and  get  the  tull 
effect." 

Some  spent  their  time  doing  things  that  they  would 
rather  not  be  doing,  such  as  heading  oil  to  that  oh-so- 
underpaying  part-time  job,  trying  to  find  the  last  parking 
space  leh  on  campus  or  waiting  on  the  bus  that  decided 
to  orbit  the  moon  instead  of  circling  campus. 


Handling  financial  aid  hassles  was  a  dreaded  task  for 
students  to  try  to  complete  between  classes. 

"I  spent  five  hours  dealing  with  my  financial  aid  and 
it  is  still  not  straightened  out,  '  transfer  student  Lauwyna 
Fountain  said.  "  I  got  two  tickets  before  I  got  out  of  there. " 

When  students  began  planning  for  the  next  semester 
classes,  it  seemed  as  though  they  were  reaching  to  grasp 
that  ideal  schedule  which  always  managed  to  elude  them. 
This  scheduling  battle  served  many  purposes  in  the  long 
run,  as  students  were  not  only  forced  to  learn  how  to 
balance  their  limited  time  but  also  how  to  handle  the 
responsibility  of  free  time  when  they  found  it. 

"My  classes  began  by  Murphy's  Law-  everything  I 
wanted  was  closed,  so  I  just  nabbed  available  spots," 
junior  International  Affairs  major  Raquel  Alfaro  said.  "I 
have  a  1:30  class  on  Monday,  Wednesday  and  Friday 
and  an  8:00  every  day.  I  had  to  rearrange  the  rest  of  my 
life  around  that  so  everything  would  balance  out.  Luckily, 
I  was  able  to  get  a  job  where  I  can  -work  lunch  shifts  and 
make  a  few  bucks."

12  Homecoming 


A  Week  Of 


Whether  an  alumni,  a  student, 
a  faculty  member  or  just  a 
supporter  of  the  University, 
everyone  "discovered"  something 
new  about  the  Seminole  tradition. 

Homecoming  '93  was,  tor  all 
who  participated,  a  fun-filled 
week  with  continuous  celebrating 
at  the  Moon,  The  Club  Down 
Under  and  all  over  campus. 
People  enjoyed  great  music  and 
good  food  along  with  an  evening  of 
comedy  and  talent  at 
Homecoming  Pow  Wow. 

The  week  ended  with  the 
homecoming  football  game 
against  the  University  ol 
Maryland  and  the  crowning  of  the 
Chiel  and  Princess. 

The  theme  for  this  year  was 
"Discovery."  Competitions  were 
held  throughout  the  week 
between  the  fraternities  and 
sororities  to  see  who  would  be 
crowned  as  Homecoming 
champions.  The  Greeks  were 
paired  for  each  of  the 
competitions. 

The  various  activities  carried 
on  through  the  week  gave  alumni 
and  others  a  chance  to  see  the 
many  changes  going  on  here  at  the 
University. 


"It's  amazing  to  see  the  new 
buildings  and  the  overall 
growth  of  the  campus"  Lynn 
Jones,  a  1990  graduate,  said. 

With  the  addition  of  the 
Bobby  E.  Leach  Workout 
facility,  the  University  Center 
and  other  dormitory  buildings 
on  campus,  many  alumni 
returned  to  see  an  impressive 
campus. 

The  week  began  with 
entertainment  of  all  kinds  such 
as  The  New  Dread  Zepplin  at 
The  Moon  and  The  Blues  Fest 
and  "Tallahassee  Homegrown 
'92"  on  the  Union  Green.  The 
Blues  Fest  included  The 
Mighty  Blues  Band  and  other 
groups.  The  "Tallahassee 
Homegrown  '92  "  was  a  festival 
of  music  including  such  bands 
as  Cold  Water  Army,  The 
Mustard  Seeds  and  Felix 
Culpa. 

"The  music  was  great;  it's 
nice  to  know  that  we  have  local 
entertainment,  "sophomore 
Dana  Walker  said. 

Friday  afternoon  kicked  off 
the  annual  homecoming 
parade.  Fraternity  and  sorority

faculty  and  administration,  the 
Marching  Chiefs,  several  campus 
organizations  and  Chief  Osceola 
and  Renegade  traveled  down 
Jefferson  Street  in  front  of  several 
hundred  excited  spectators.  The 
float  competition  was  fierce 
between  the  sororities, 
fraternities  and  organizations. 
Delta  Gamma  and  Lambda  Chi 
Alpha  won  first  place,  Alpha  Chi 
Omega  and  Pi  Kappa  Phi  took 
second,  and  Phi  Mu,  Sigma  Pi  and 
Alpha  Epsilon  Pi  finished  third.  In 
the  student  organization  division, 
Alpha  Kappa  Psi  business 
fraternity  finished  first.  United 
Latin  Club  placed  second  and  the 
School  of  Nursing's  entry 
clenched   third. 

Other  festivities  including  the 
Homecoming  Pow  Wow  w^hich 
was  a  fun  evening  that  began  with 
an  almost  full  house  at  the  Leon 
County  Civic  Center.  The 
Marching  Chiefs,  the  Varsity 
Cheerleaders  and  the  Golden 
Girls  provided  the  entertainment 


along  w^ith  comedians  Kevin 
Nealon,  Bob  Cat  Goldthwaite 
and  Julia  Sweeny. 

"Everyone  enjoyed  Kevin 
Nealon.  I  think  he  was  the  best; 
the  whole  thing  (Pow  Wow)  was 
great,"  Jeff  Kershna  said. 

"Skit  Night"  participants 
amused  the  Civic  Center 
spectators  with  their  creative  and 
thematic  performances.  "A 
Seminole  Celebration:  Noles  of 
America"  was  the  theme  of  the 
Alpha  Chi  Omega  and  Pi  Kappa 
Phi  skit.  They  tied  for  first  place 
with  Kappa  Alpha  Theta  w^ith 
their  spirited  entry. 

Regardless  of  the  outcome, 
everyone  enjoyed  a  week  of 
homecoming  festivities. 

"I  made  so  many  friends 
during  homecoming.  Working 
closely  with  so  many  people,  it's 
hard  not  to  become  close  friends," 
Delta  Zeta  senior  fashion 
merchandising  major  Misty 
Farrow  said.

Nealon  and  Sweeny,  but  due  to 
problems  was  replaced  by  Bob 
Cat  Goldthwait.  Many  who 
attended  Pow  Wow  enjoyed  his 
"off  the  wall "  performance. 

"I  loved  it.  He  (Goldthwait) 
did  a  great  show  and  a  very 
different  one,  too"  Senior  Heather 
Schroeder  said. 

Pow  Wow  was  not  only  a  night 
of  laughter  for  those  who 
attended,  but  also  an  evening  of 
the  Seminole  tradition.  The 
competition  for  Homecoming 
Chief  and  Princess  was  stiff  with 
ten  very  ^vorthy  students  vying  for 
the  title.  The  award  was  based  on 
academic  achievement,  general 
knowledge  of  the  University, 
poise  and  conversational  ability 
and  qualities  that  they  held  which 
added  credit  and  honor  to  the 
University. 

All  the  candidates  were  worthy 
of  the  title;   however,   only  two 


could  take  the  crown.  Emcee 
Gene  Deckerhoff  presented  W. 
Calvin  Smith  II  and  Sonja  Clark 
as  the  Chief  and  Princess. 
Crowning  their  successors  were 
1991  Chief  and  Princess  Abner 
Devallon  and  Sandi  Leff.  First 
runners-up  were  Allen  Durham 
and  Nicole  Batchelor.  The  court 
included  Janice  Dusseau,  Patrick 
Mannion,  Gina  Myatt,  Chuck 
Nussmeyer,  Rebekka  Buckhalt 
and  Jeff  Hopkins. 

Homecoming  was  a  week  of 
tradition  for  all  at  the  University. 
It  was  a  time  for  alumni  to  see  a 
new  campus,  but  also  a  time  for 
them  to  reminisce  on  the 
wonderful  memories  they  made 
while  here. 

There  \vas  something  for 
everyone  to  enjoy  during  the 
week,  from  great  music  to  a 
fantastic  football  game  on  a 
beautiful  day.  No  matter  what  the 
activity  people  participated  in, 
there  was  excitement  and  a  bold 
tradition  in  it  all.

1 8  Student  Life 


HOMEWARD 


BounD 


STUDENTS  HEAD  HOME 


The  appetizing  steak  and  potatoes  were  a 
welcome  reprieve  from  the  normal  nuked 
burritos.  The  smell  of  your  mom's  pies  filled 
your  nostrils  andyour  dog  almost  knockedyou 
down  in  his  all  too  lovable  greeting.  If  it  was 
your  first  time,  your  mother  gave  a  knowing 
sigh  at  your  overflowing  pile  of  laundry.  If 
your  were  fortunate  enough  to  have  younger 
siblings,  you  marveled  at  how  much  they  had 
changed.  Your  brother  was  not  actually 
talking  to  girls  w^henyou  left  for  school  was  he? 
Was  that  makeup  you  saw  on  your  sister's 
lace?  Home  was  everything  you  remembered, 
yet  somehow  it  was  different.  The  feeling 
students  got  when  they  went  home  for  the 
weekend  could  be  described  as  almost  eerie. 

'On  my  four-hour  drive  home,  I  ponder 
what  will  be  different  this  trip,"  Orlando 
resident  Wendy  Exely  said.  "The  first  time  I 
went  home.  Mom  had  planted  flowers.  The 
second  time  she  had  wallpapered  the  bathroom 
and  the  third  time  she'd  done  the  kitchen  as 
well.  It's  always  an  adventure  to  see  what  has 
changed  about  home  this  time." 

The  first  time  I  ^vent  home  it  lelt  like  I  was 
coming  back  from  camp,  but  on  the  way  back, 
it  finally  hit  me  that  Tallahassee  is  where  I  live 
now,"  freshman  Kristi  Conklin  said. 

"It's  such  a  different  feeling  to  go  home 
again.  When  I  get  to  the  door,  I  knock  and 
open  it  at  the  same  time.  Even  though  it's  my 
home  and  it's  where  I  grew  up,  I  don't  live  there 
anymore,"  junior  Jason  Longman  said. 

"I  miss  my  little  brother  and  sisters  the  most. 
They  grow  up  so  much  while  I'm  away,  " 
Jacksonville  resident  Nia  Elliot  said. 

Many  freshmen  felt  overwhelmed  with  the 
desire  to  return  to  the  security  of  their  own  bed 
and  their  old  niche  in  society.  Although  many 
w^ent  through  what  seemed  like  four  years  of 
high  school  hell,  anticipating  the  day  when 


they  would  finally  be  able  to  pack  their  bags  and 
head  otf  to  the  big  university,  they  often  found 
themselves  longing  to  be  back  home. 

"A  lot  of  times,  I'm  more  homesick  when  I 
come  back  than  before  I  go,  "  Conklin  said.  "It 
brings  it  all  back  to  mind  and  makes  me  miss 
everything  even  more.  " 

"My  first  semester  in  college,  I  went  home 
every  other  weekend,  even  though  it  was  six 
hours  away,  "  Immokalee  resident  Neida 
Schooler  said. 

Many  students  were  not  lucky  enough  to 
visit  home  as  much  as  they  \vished.  Out-of- 
state  students  often  had  to  wait  until  Christmas 
and  summer  breaks  before  seeing  their  family. 
However,  when  it  was  possible  to  return 
home,  students  raked  in  the  advantages. 
Students  grabbed  the  open  opportunity  to 
pump  up  the  Tallahassee  bank  account,  stock 
the  fridge  with  pity-hlled  home  cooked  meals 
and  fill  their  closets  with  new  clothes. 

"My  car  is  always  more  full  coming  back  to 
Tallahassee  than  going  home,  "  English  major 
Kara  Raines  said.  "I  go  shopping  every  time  I 
go  home  without  fail." 

Home  was  always  a  welcome  sight  for 
students.  With  the  daily  stress  of  college  life, 
nothing  seemed  to  relieve  the  tension  of  the 
overworked  student  better  than  a  visit  with  the 
family.  Although  home  could  be  described  as 
only  a  building  made  of  walls,  these  walls 
encompassed  all  of  the  memories  that  made 
home  so  special.  These  same  walls  w^elcomed 
students  back  and  seemed  to  remind  them  not 
only  of  who  they  were  and  how  they  got  there, 
but  also  of  where  they  had  once  been  and  what 
they  had  endured  to  get  there. 

As  the  weekend  ended,  Monday  came  all  too 
soon  and  students  found  themselves  sitting  in 
class  holding  a  bit  more  of  the  walls  than  they 
had  on  Friday.

Andrew 

THE  HURRICANE  THAT  BROUGHT 
SO  MUCH  DESTRUCTION 


Hurricane  Andrew  drove  through  southern 
Florida  devastating  the  property  of  local  residents. 
Families  were  left  homeless,  without  food  and  water. 
Although  relief  efforts  immediately  formed  around  the 
state  nothing  seemed  to  fill  the  needs  of  those  affected  by 
the  destructive  storm.  Residents  became  refugees  in  their 
own  land  and  they  were  forced  to  rely  on  the  kindness  of 
total  strangers  for  their  survival. 

Approximately  20,000  families  received 
vouchers  to  get  resettled  and  Red  Cross  officials  estimated 
that  40,000  more  families  needed  similar  help.  Ironically 
enough,  the  Red  Cross  had  its  hands  full  with  typhoon 
victims  in  Guam  and  Hawaii  and  flood  victims  in  the 
Midwest,  as  well  as  the  families  of  Homestead.  The 
Salvation  Army  also  brought  vans  into  the  city  with  hot 
meals  and  cold  drinks.  Their  carpenters  immediately 
began  work  on  repairing  houses  and  joined  the  efforts  of 
several  local  church  organizations  in  their  quest. 

The  Federal  Government  moved  families  into 
portable  metal  homes  and  several  relief  agencies  began 
builing  new  houses.  Four  days  after  the  hurricane,  20,000 
soliders  arrived  in  Homestead  and  the  greater  Miami  area 
to  help  with  the  efforts.  Strict  curfews  were  enforced  by 
the  military  men  to  deter  vandals  from  taking  ^A'hat  little 
was  left  from  local  businesses  and  other  personal 
belongings.  Road  blockades  were  set  up  which  made 
entrance  into  the  city  difficult.  Those  who  fled  the  area  had 
to  show  definite  proof  of  residence  in  order  to  be  admitted 
into  the  city  to  return  to  what  was  left  of  their  homes. 

In  addition  to  the  federal  aid,  thousands  of  men 
and  women  came  from  all  over  the  United  States.  Many 
were  from  South  Carolina  and  had  survived  Hurricane 
Hugo  two  years  ago.  The  enormous  number  oi  volunteers 
treated  the  victims  with  kindness  and  generosity. 

"  I  couldn't  believe  the  amount  of  support  that  we 
received.  People  were  so  kind.  The  last  thing  that  I 
expected  was  the  work  of  the  Army,  though,"  Rose  Acosta, 
a  Homestead  resident,  said. 

The  Red  Cross  generated  $59  million  and  the 


Salvation  Army  $10  million  for  the  reconstruction  of  the 
disintegrated  city. 

Tractor  trailers  brought  tons  of  food,  building 
supplies,  mountains  of  used  clothing  and  the  equivalent  of 
lakes  in  drinking  water.  Most  of  the  donated  goods  went  to 
the  survivors.  However,  during  the  initial  confusion,  some 
of  the  shipments  were  accidentally  dumped  outdoors. 
Cartons  of  food  broke  open  in  the  rain  and  great  piles  of 
clothes  were  soaked  and  had  to  be  thrown  away. 

Insurance  companies  worked  feverishly  on 
homeowner,  life  and  auto  claims  for  their  clients. 

Despite  positive  volunteer  efforts,  some  added 
more  problems  to  an  already  desperate  situation.  Landlords 
forced  residents  to  continue  payment  on  their  property  and 
rented  apartments.  If  they  refused,  eviction  was  eminent. 

Even  with  all  the  government  and  local  help, 
universities  around  the  state  felt  it  was  time  to  step  in  and 
help  out. The  relief  effort  was  started  as  a  result  of  a 
conversation  Student  Body  President,  Jeanne  Belin  had 
with  University  of  Miami  Student  Body  President  David 
Diamond. 

T  v/as  interested  in  this  project  because  I  was 
aware  of  the  devastation  the  students  would  face.  Plus  I 
have  family  down  there  and  I  was  concerned  about  their 
welfare,"  Belin  said. 

Once  Belin  finished  speaking  with  Diamond,  she 
contacted  the  Vice  President's  Project  Council  to  see  if  they 
wanted  to  help.  The  VPPC  responded  immediately  by 
forming  groups  and  calling  the  papers  to  get  community 
support.  Carrie  Pollock,  a  member  of  student  government, 
was  chosen  to  head  the  relief  project  by  the  VPPC. 

"I  always  wanted  to  be  a  part  of  Student 
Government.  I  contacted  Jeanne  Campbell  and  soon  after 
was  involved  with  the  VPPC.  I  took  on  the  relief  effort 
because  I  am  from  Miami  and  I  knew  they  could  use 
anything  we  could  give  them,  "  Pollock  said. 

Another  key  player  in  organizing  the  relief  effort 
\vas  food  services  director  Joe  Pianese.

Destruction 


(Continued  from  page  21) 


"I  don't  know  if  we  could  have  done 
it  without  Joe.  He  was  an  integral  part  of  our 
operation.  Without  his  leadership,  things  may 
not  have  gone  so  well,  "  Belin  said. 

Pianese  said  that  when  he  saw  the 
destruction  in  the  Miami  area  he  knew 
something  had  to  be  done. 

"I  was  talking  to  the  Marriott  folks 
about  Miami  and  Florida  International  and 
what  we  could  do,  and  that  same  day  I  saw 
that  Jeanne  was  urging  people  to  give  canned 
goods  to  the  effort.  I  figured  we  should  get 
together  and  see  what  we  could  do.  We 
\veren't  sure  \vhat  they  needed  but  we  figured 
they  would  need  the  basic  items  for  survival 
like  water,  nonperishable  food  and  clothing,  " 
Pianese  said. 

Pianese,  along  with  food  services 
manager  Bob  Gibson,  gathered  supplies  such 
as  tar  paper  and  other  roofing  tools  and  drove 
down  to  Miami  the  Wednesday  following  the 
hurricane. 

"Originally,  the  University  of  Miami 
didn  t  want  to  become  a  relief  site,  but  after  the 
damage  was  surveyed,  it  became  apparent 
that  the  use  of  the  facility,  along  with  Florida 
International  University,  would  be  necessary 


to  aid  in  the  effort,"  Pianese  said. 

"Miami  mostly  needed  tar  paper  to 
help  patch  ceilings  and  replace  roofs  and 
Florida  International  needed  clothes,  water 
and  canned  goods,"  Pianese  said. 

Pianese  and  Gibson  left  Wednesday 
for  Miami  and  noted  that  the  turnpike 
reserved  two  areas  at  each  toll  so  those  helping 
out  in  the  relief  effort  could  avoid  the  burden 
of  paying  to  get  to  their  destination. 

"Everyone  was  helpful  going  down 
there  and  once  we  arrived.  Bob  and  I  both  had 
friends  that  lived  in  Fort  Lauderdale  so  we  also 
had  a  place  to  stay.  That  made  things  a  lot 
easier,"  Pianese  said,  "we  even  made  it  back  to 
Tallahassee  Thursday  evening." 

Although  the  effort  went  well,  south 
Florida  still  required  more  help. 

"We're  now  working  on  a  project  to 
get  supplies  to  the  Indians  in  the  Everglades, 
everyone  seems  to  have  forgotten  about  them. 
We're  going  to  use  all  of  our  resources  to  help 
as  many  people  as  we  can,"  Belin  said. 

'This  project  will  be  going  on  for  a 
long  time.  It  involves  all  of  us  regardless  of 
\vhere  we  live.  There's  still  a  lot  that  needs  to 
be  done,"  Pollock  said.

STRESSING 

kJ  the  point  V«^ 


7:49  A.M.  You  rolled  over  and  glared  at  your  alarm 
clock.  You  had  an  8  a.m.  class  in  the  Diffenbaugh  Building 
which  was  20  minutes  away.  You  grabbed  a  hat,  brushed 
your  teeth  and  rushed  away  on  your  bike  only  to  find 
yourself  locked  out  of  the  classroom  becauseyou  were  late. 
You  had  to  meet  with  your  professor  but  he  did  not 
return  any  of  your  12  messages.  Your  advisor  did  call, 
however,  something  about  a  grad  check.  You  hadn't 
bought  groceries  in  four  days,  unlessyou  counted  spaghetti 
noodles  and  Froot  Loops,  and  your  electricity  would  have 
been  turned  off  Wednesday  ifyou  had  not  rolled  change  to 
pay  the  bill.  To  top  it  off,  you  had  three  finals  Friday  and 
you  worked  until  closing  every  night  this  week. 

And  this  was  just  Monday. 

Many  students  were  excited  to  finally  be  on  their  own, 
oblivious  to  all  of  the  responsibilities  that  came  along  with 
being  a  college  student.  Finally,  their  own  apartment,  their 
own  life,  their  own  set  of  rules. 

"Class?  What?   Only  12  hours  aAveek?   I  went  to  high 
school  seven  hours  a  day,  five  days  a  week.  This  should  be 
a  breeze,  right?" 
Wrong. 

Nationwide,  campus  psychologists  said  they  were 
seeing  a  generation  sick  with  anxiety.  Dr.  Robert 
Gallagher  of  the  University  of  Pittsburgh  ran  an  annual 
survey  of  college  counseling  service  directors.  He  reported 
that  the  number  of  students  who  were  coming  into 
counseling  centers  with  severe  psychological  problems 
increased  by  31  percent  since  1988. 

"Students  are  coming  in  more  stressed,  with  more 
serious  concerns,"  Gallagher  said. 

Students  often  found  themselves  overwhelmed  with  the 
responsibilities  that  accompanied  adulthood.  That 
growing  up  equals  stress  was  soon  found  to  be  as 
universally  understood  as  one  plus  one  equals  two. 
How^ever,  it  was  up  to  the  individual  student  to  find 
creative  ways  to  deal  with  this  stress  and  alleviate  the 


problem  as  much  as  possible. 

"I  like  to  w^atch  football  because  I  can  yell  and  scream  and 
get  out  all  of  my  frustrations,"  Kerry  Gordon,  a  junior  in 
international  affairs,  said. 

"I  like  to  mdulge  myself  ^A'hen  I'm  stressed.  It's  nice  to 
plop  in  front  of  the  television  with  some  homemade  cookies 
or  go  buy  myself  a  new  outfit,"  junior  Melanie  Leaman  said. 
Although  being  involved  in  the  many  campus 
organizations  often  proved  to  be  more  stressful  than  stress 
relieving,  there  were  certain  exceptions  to  this  rule. 

"When  I  feel  like  I'm  starting  to  stress,  I  find  that  doing 
banners  with  Garnet  and  Gold  Girls  on  Wednesday  nights 
helps.  It  relaxes  my  mind  and  it's  so  nice  to  not  have  to  do 
anything  right  or  give  the  right  answers.  It's  okay  ifyou  go 
out  of  the  lines,"  chemical  engineering  major  Stephanie 
Pullmgs  said. 

Many  students  lound  themselves  depending  on  personal 
employment  in  order  to  make  ends  meet  each  month.  This, 
coupled  with  the  usual  stress  of  school,  could  truly  weigh  a 
person  down. 

According  to  Elizabeth  Nuss,  executive  director  of  the 
National  Association  of  Student  Personnel  Administrators, 
public  university  students  across  the  country  were  working 
more,  having  a  harder  time  getting  into  classes,  taking 
longer  to  graduate  and,  in  some  cases,  leaving  school. 

"Being  a  senior,  I  have  all  of  this  added  pressure  to  decide 
what  I'm  going  to  do  with  the  rest  of  my  life.  My  job, 
telemarketing,  tends  to  put  a  strain  on  my  time  more  than 
anything  else.  It  not  only  limits  me  in  the  time  that  I  have  to 
study  but  also  in  the  time  I  have  for  myself,  "  speech 
pathology  major  Gina  Drago  said. 

"When  stressed,  one  should  always  keep  things  in 
perspective  and  not  overreact  to  the  situation,"  junior  Will 
Lesnick  said.  "After  all,  10  years  from  now,  will  it  really 
matter  that  you  bombed  your  first  calculus  test  or  that  your 
VISA  bill  was  occasionally  late?  " 

Probably  not.

HAVE  ART^^ 

A  STRUGGLE  TO  BRING  ART  TO 
TALLAHASSEE 


The  stars,  a  blazing  yellow,  the  sky,  a  thick  midnight 
blue,  the  city  below  surrounded  by  dark  evergreens  and  a 
black  night. 

This  painting,  "A  Stary  Night,"  by  Vincent  VanGogh  is 
an  example  of  what  many  students  thought  of  when  they 
thought  of  art.  Or  maybe  they  thought  of  the  University's 
fine  arts  center  and  its  plays  and  musicals  presented  by 
students,  or  even  the  small  student  art  gallery  at  the  center, 
but  many  were  shocked  to  hear  of  a  new  fine  arts  and 
cultural  center  to  be  built  in  Tallahassee. 

While  many  considered  the  new^s  positive,  others  viewed 
the  center  a  waste  of  good  time  and  money. 

The  proposed  arts  and  cultural  center  was  the  idea  of 
concerned  citizens  interested  in  bringing  the  arts  and  art 
education  to  the  community.  The  proposed  center  would 
be  located  in  downtown  Tallahassee  near  the  Leon  County 
Civic  Center  and  would  include  three  galleries  lor  "art 
exhibition  "  including  spaces  for  touring  shows,  galleries 
with  educational  exhibitions  and  a  sculpture  court.  There 
would  be  an  interactive  media  gallery  with  the  latest  in 
computer  and  laser  technology  so  students  would  have 
hands-on  experiences  w^ith  art  education. 

Proponents  such  as  Susan  Saldino,  Director  of  the 
Museum  of  Art/  Tallahassee,  cited  improvements  in 
cultural  development,  economic  growth,  social  interaction 
and  an  improved  image  of  the  city  of  Tallahassee  as  reasons 
for  the  center's  development. 

"The  most  important  thing  the  Museum  of  Art/ 
Tallahassee  has  tried  to  bring  to  our  city  is  an  exhibit  of  fine 
art  never  before  seen  here  and  an  innovative  art  education 
program  for  children  and  adults  "   Baldino  said. 

The  "You  Gotta  Have  Art "  campaign  by  the  cultural 
center  was  used  to  help  raise  awareness  of  the  facilities  and 
to  get  people  to  vote  on  the  referendum  for  the  project.  The 
H.E.A.R.T.  campaign  cited  three  benefits  that  the  center's 
existence  would  bring  about.  Elducation  was  a  prime 
objective  of  the  facilities  along  with  the  economic  benefits 
for  the  city  and  it's  residents. 


The  referendum  was  voted  on  Feb.  23  to  decide  whether 
the  museum  and  fine  arts  center  would  receive  city  funds  to 
help  finance  the  project.  It  was  estimated  that  35  percent  of 
the  funding  for  the  museum  and  50  percent  of  the  funding 
for  the  fine  arts  center  w^ould  come  from  the  city. 

While  Tallahassee  was  asked  to  give  financial  aid,  other 
revenue  sources  provided  more  than  half  of  the  money 
needed.  Sources  such  as  state  and  federal  grants  and 
corporate  and  private  donations  were  a  part  ot  the 
contributions. 

The  referendum  was  voted  down  by  citizens.  Some 
cited  the  supposed  effect  on  their  utility  bills  as  a  reason  for 
the  failure.  They  felt  that  their  bills  would  be  increased  in 
order  to  finance  the  center,  while,  in  truth,  the  money  for 
the  museum  and  cultural  center  would  have  come  from  the 
city's  General  Fund,  hence,  the  facility's  funding  w^ould 
come  from  money  given  to  the  city  by  citizens  for  different 
projects,  which,  included  the  fine  arts  complex. 

Voting  for  the  museum  would  not  have  increased  the 
customers  bill,  nor  would  it  decrease  the  bill  if  the  customer 
voted  against  the  museum.  Proponents  cite  this 
misunderstanding  as  one  of  the  major  reasons  for  the  failure 
of  the  referendum. 

"  It  is  frustrating  to  see  all  of  the  hard  work  that  goes  into 
bringing  the  museum  to  life  torn  apart  by  a 
misunderstanding  "  Heather  Schroeder,  a  volunteer 
student,  said. 

Although  there  \vas  oppostion  towards  the  center's 
development,  many  citizens  felt  strongly  about  continuing 
the  push  for  the  building  of  the  facilities.  The  search  for 
funding  continued  and  it  was  proposed  by  the  mayor, 
Dorothy  Inman-Crews,  that  a  referendum  for  the  center  be 
put  on  the  ballot  in  February  of  1994.  She  plans  to  start  a 
petition  drive  which  would  show  public  interest  in  the 
project.  The  cultural  center  faced  opposition, yet  continued 
w^ith  the  support  of  many  in  the  community,  to  bring  arts 
and  art  education  to  Tallahassee.

ONE 
VISION 


when  the  budget  cuts  began  hitting  home  with 
Florida's  students,  the  Florida  Student  Association  decided 
to  do  something  about  it.  They  organized  two  student 
rallies  that  converged  upon  the  capitol,  letting  the 
legislators  know  that  students  did  care,  and  yes,  students 
did  vote. 

"Vision  '92  was  unique  in  that  students  actually  worked 
together  to  find  answers  rather  than  just  pointing  out 
problems,  "  delegate  Joe  Minor  said. 

FSA's  next  step  was  a  brave  endeavor  into  student 
empowerment.  They  no  longer  encouraged  students  to 
"skip  class  today"  and  join  in  a  march  to  the  capitol,  they 
actually  gave  student  leaders  a  chance  to  interact  with 
today's  political  figures.  Representing  the  187,000  public 
university  students  in  the  state  ,  FSA  joined  with  the 
community  colleges  and  private  universities  to  sponsor 
Vision  '92  Empowering  Florida's  Future.  A  two-day,  non- 
partisan, political  student  convention  which  took  place  on 
the  University  of  Central  Florida  campus  in  September, 
Vision  was  the  first  of  its  kind. 

"We  want  to  show  the  nation  that  tomorrow's  leaders  are 
prepared  to  start  working  today  to  insure  a  prosperous 
future,  "  Tracy  Newman,  director  of  FSA  special  projects 
and  Vision  co-chair,  said.  "Student  involvement  is  essential 
il  Florida  is  ever  going  to  reach  the  level  ol  education  that 
we  not  only  w^ant,  but  the  level  that  we  deserve." 

FSA  was  formed  in  1976  by  a  group  of  student  leaders 
to  represent  the  views  of  the  nine  state  universities  within 
the  state  of  Florida.  During  the  16  years  of  existence,  it  has 
become  known  as  one  ol  the  largest  and  most  effective 
student  lobby  groups  in  the  country.  The  association  was 
composed  of  the  student  body  presidents  of  the  nine  state 
universities  and  a  permanent  staff  of  five  including  two  full- 
time  lobbyists. 

FSA  brought  together  the  top  382  student  leaders  ol  the 
1 .2  million  post-secondary  students  in  the  state  to  formulate 


a  platform  on  education.  The  number  of  students  each 
school  sent  was  based  upon  student  population  with  five 
base  delegates  plus  one  delegate  per  1,000  students.  In  an 
effort  to  maintain  maximum  diversity,  these  delegates  were 
chosen  by  the  universities'  student  body  presidents  based 
upon  leadership  show^n  through  student  organizations. 

The  Vision  '92  platform  addressed  10  educational  areas: 
tuition,  differential  tuition,  financial  aid  and  scholarships, 
libraries,  student  regent,  academic  quality,  dorm  fees, 
Florida  Public  Interest  Research  Group,  Florida's  Office  of 
Campus  Volunteers  and   budget. 

The  convention  served  as  a  catalyst  to  present  a  student 
agenda  on  issues  relevant  to  the  present  state  of  education. 
The  platform  was  designed  to  serve  as  a  guideline  to  both 
state  and  national  leaders,  so  that  the  needs  of  American 
students  could  be  better  understood.  This  very  platform, 
designed  entirely  by  Vision  delegates,  was  hand-delivered 
to  each  of  the  presidential  candidates  at  the  presidential 
debate  held  in  Lansing,  Michigan. 

Vision  allowed  students  to  interact  with  current  political 
leaders.  On  a  local  level,  Governor  Lawton  Chiles 
addressed  the  convention,  as  did  Eklucation  Commissioner 
Betty  Castor,  Chancellor  Charles  Reed  and  Board  ot 
Regents  Chairman  Alec  Courtelis. 

Additional  speakers  included  university  student  body 
presidents.  State  Representative  Tom  Feeney,  President  ol 
the  American  Bar  Association  Sandy  D'Alemberte,  State 
Representative  Alzo  Reddick,  Jeb  Bush  and  United  States 
Secretary  of  ExJucation  Lamar  Alexander. 

"Once  again  Florida  has  led  the  way  in  student 
empowerment.  For  the  first  time  the  student  voice  was 
truly  heard  by  today's  political  leaders,  "  student  senate 
president  Jenn  Tankersley  said.  "We're  finally  taking 
control  of  our  own  future.  "

PATROL  IMPLEMENTED  ON  CAMPUS 


The  Blue  Light  Trail  and  the  Escort  Service  were  just  a 
lew  ot  the  measures  taken  to  help  protect  students  from 
becoming  victims  of  campus  crime.  While  these  services 
have  helped  many  students,  another  program,  the  Cops- 
on-Bikes  patrol,  was  implemented  on  campus  to  help  in 
responding  to  calls  and  working  with  students  in  a  more 
personalized  manner. 

Cities  such  as  Las  Vegas  and  Los  Angeles  have  already 
used  officers  on  bikes,  because  of  the  greater  mobility  and 
community  involvement. 

"An  officer  on  a  bike  is  more  one  on  one,  there  is  more 
personal  contact,"  FSU  Police  Lieutenant  Jack  Handley 
said. 

In  an  effort  to  beef  up  campus  security.  University 
President  Dale  Lick  and  Campus  Police  Chief  Bill  Tanner 
joined  together  in  starting  a  trial  program  that  began  in  the 
summer .  They  saw  how  the  program  worked  in  other  cities 
and  wanted  to  bring  community  policing  to  campus.  In  the 
fall,  the  campus  police  began  patrolling  on  bikes  24  hours 
a  day. 

"The  officer  on  the  bike  handles  the  same  type  ol  calls  as 
the  cruiser,"  Lt.  Handley  said. 

"The  bikes  respond  to  calls  on  the  blue  light  trail  faster 
than  cruisers.  A  bike  can  get  around  more  quickly  and 
efficiently  than  a  person  on  foot,"  Terri  Brown,  an  officer  in 
the  program,  said. 

"Most  important,  the  bike  is  good  for  reaching  areas  you 
can't  in  a  car,  "  officer  Brown  said. 

The  program  had  four  bikes  on  patrol,  two  were 
purchased  by  the  department,  one  was  a  gift  from  the 
Student  Alumni  Association  and  the  newest  bike  came 
from  the  Student  Government  Association. 

The  cost  of  each  bike  was  $750  plus  another  $600  to 
equip  the  officers  for  duty  w^ith  normal  police  gear  and 


bicycle  safety  equipment.  Police  cruisers  cost  between 
$15,000  and  $20,000  each,  not  including  the  $8,000  ayear 
for  maintenance. 

"Though  the  bikes  did  not  replace  police  vehicles,  the 
school  would  save  money  in  the  long  run,"  Handley  said. 

Besides  saving  wear  and  tear  on  police  cars,  the 
mountain  bikes  kept  the  officers  in  top  shape.  While  on 
duty,  an  officer  might  ride  between  12  and  20  miles  a  day. 
Fitness  was  an  important  factor  when  condisering  the  new 
program. 

"It  is  very  important  to  stay  fit  and  healthy  in  this  line  of 
work,"  Brown  said. 

With  the  implementation  of  the  ne\v  program,  students 
had  a  better  chance  to  get  to  know  the  police.  This  more 
personalized  attention  made  students  more  likely  to  report 
crimes. 

"(The  program)  puts  officers  right  there  with  the 
students,"  Officer  Brown  said. 

With  its  success  on  campus  the  city  of  Tallahassee  Police 
Department  was  also  considering  the  use  of  bike  patrols  to 
cut  down  on  crime. 

""Currently,  the  city  is  entertaining  going  to  a  bike 
patrol,"  Lt.  Handley  said. 

On  occasion,  the  program  aided  the  Tallahassee  Police 
Department  in  apprehending  criminals  outside  campus 
walls.  The  all-terrain  vehicles  provided  easy  access  to  small 
areas  such  as  woods  and  narrow  paths.  Another  advantage 
of  bike  patrol  was  that  the  bikes  were  quiet  and  allowed  an 
officer  to  sneak  up  on  a  crime. 

The  cops-on-bikes  patrol  added  to  not  only  the  safety 
on  campus,  but  also  gave  the  students  more  access  to  the 
police  department  and  its  officers.  Progress  in  crime 
prevention  was  very  successful  through  the 
implementation  of  this  new  patrol.

RAPE  NOT  JUST  A 
WOMAN'S  PROBLEM 


"Why  me?  What  did  I  do?  What  did  I  ever  do  to 
deserve  this?  I  had  heard  of  it  happening  to  friends  of  mine, 
but  never  thought  in  a  milhon  years  it  would  be  me,  "  a 
recent  survivor  of  date  rape  said.  "  I  am  really  scared.  Not 
just  scared  of  him. '  I  am  scared  to  walk  down  the  street  by 
myself,  scared  to  go  to  out  by  myself  and  especially  scared 
to  go  out  on  any  date.  I  often  still  feel  guilty,  dirty  and 
ashamed.  I  never  thought  it  would  happen  to  me,  but  it 
did." 

The  statistics  on  women  w^ho  have  been  sexually 
assaulted  have  grown  each  year.  It  is  estimated  that  when 
one  rape  is  reported,  ten  have  actually  occurred.  This  does 
not  necessarily  mean  that  more  women  are  being  raped.  It 
instead  shows  that  more  women  are  standing  up  for  their 
rights.  More  women  have  come  forward  to  say  that  they 
could  not  be  taken  advantage  of  and  had  a  right  to  their  own 
body. 

Tales  of  sexual  assault  and  rape  often  bring  to  mind 
visions  of  a  brawny,  brutal  looking  man  who  makes  a 
person  shiver  with  fear.  Although  this  is  the  picture  that 
most  people  conjugate   in  their  mind,  it  is  not  reality. 

Most  women  are  raped  by  "average"  acquaintances, 
people  they  know  or  have  just  met.  When  a  person  is  raped 
by  an  average  acquaintance  it  is  called  "date  rape." 

In  the  fall,  a  total  of  16  rapes  were  reported  on  campus. 
Of  those  16  rapes,  1 1  were  recent  and  five  had  occurred  in 
the  past.  The  women  decided  they  needed  help  to  recover 
from  their  past  experience.  They  had  been  to  the  Office  of 
Women's  Concerns  to  report  being  raped  and  to  seek  help 
through  counseling. 

Only  four  of  these  16  victims  had  been  raped  by  a 
stranger,   according  to  the  Office  of  Women's  Concerns. 

"A  date  rape  could  happen  to  anyone...  anywhere. 
Although  in  date  rape  a  weapon  may  not  be  used  to  force 
someone  to  have  intercourse,  it  is  still  a  traumatic 
experience.  The  victim  has  no  idea  what  will  come  next  or 
what  the  attacker  is  capable  of  doing,  "  Lexie  Jepson 
Rodgers  from  Office  of  Women's  Concerns  said. 


The  Office  of  Women's  Concerns  began  a  Victim 
Advocate  Program  in  conjunction  with  the  University 
Police  Department.  A  person  from  women's  concerns  ^vas 
on  duty  from  5  p.m.  -  8  a.m.  in  case  a  victim  decides  to  report 
a  rape.  The  person  followed  up  the  next  day  to  aid  in  more 
counseling  and  offer  support. 

This  was  extremely  helpful  to  the  victim's  recovery.  The 
advocate  on  call  was  there  to  offer  encouragement  and 
support  for  the  victim.  It  was  the  Police  Department's 
responsibility  to  obtain  information  in  case  of  prosecution. 
However,  immediately  following  the  rape  was  a  difficult 
time  tor  the  victim  to  relive  the  experience  even  to  provide 
the  information  the  police  needed. 

The  Office  of  Women's  Concerns  did  not  pressure  the 
women  to  prosecute.  They  did  educate  the  women  who 
came  in  lor  counseling  on  the  options  that  are  available. 

'"  Twenty-five  percent  of  women  in  college  have  been  the 
victims  of  rape  or  attempted  rape"  stated  a  nationwide 
survey  conducted  by  Ms.  magazine,  psychologist  Mary  P. 
Koss  and  the  National  Institute  for  Mental  Health. 

Rape,  however,  did  not  only  affect  the  ^vomen  who  are 
forced  to  endure  this  trauma,  but  it  affected  their  friends  and 
family  as  well.  A  women  may  become  totally  standoffish  to 
her  family,  friends  and  boyfriend.  Her  trust  of  men  was 
usually  lost.  It  was  a  mental  battle  for  all  to  endure  and  fight. 

"When  my  friend  first  told  me  [she  had  been  raped]  I  felt 
hurt  for  her.  Then  I  was  angry  toward  the  person  who  did 
this  to  her.  I  wish  there  could  be  a  stronger  sentence  for 
those  convicted,"  junior  criminology  major  Scott  Johnson 
said.  "'It  is  a  terrible  crime  for  people  to  commit.  I  feel  for 
all  the  women  who  have  had  to  go  through  this  painful 
ordeal.   The  men  that  do  rape  have  a  serious  problem." 

"I  was  so  angry  when  she  told  me.  I  w^as  angry  at  the  guy 
who  had  done  this  to  her  and  angry  that  he  left  her  feeling 
guilty,"  Trey  Turner  said.  "I  tried  and  tried  to  tell  her  it  w^as 
not  her  fault  and  she  w^as  not  the  one  to  blame.  But  there 
were  no  w^ords  to  take  her  pain  away  so  all  I  could  was  hold 
her. "

■Hi.        TO  HELP  STUDENTS  IN  NEED 


"Rape  in  Tallahassee  a  real  possibiltiy  "  read  a  headline 
in  the  FSView. 

"Student  raped  near  stadium,"  said  an  article  in  the 
Florida  Flambeau. 

These  articles  depicted  the  harsh  reality  of  rape  and  the 
fact  that  many  students  who  attended  the  University  had 
been  assaulted,  harrassed  by  a  teacher  or  student,  or  raped 
by  an  acquiantance  or  a  stranger.  This  ever  increasing 
possibility  of  being  a  victim  increased  awareness  oi 
students,  teachers  and  faculty  through  programs  such  as 
"Stop  Rape  Week,"  which  informed  people  of  the 
possibility  ot  being  assaulted  and  measures  that  would  help 
to  protect  them. 

With  statistics  such  as  a  report  from  the  FBI  saying  that 
"  1  out  of  6  w^omen  w^ere  vicitms  of  rape  or  attemped  rape 
while  in  college"  (  not  including  unreported  batteries)  there 
w^as  a  definite  need  for  counseling  and  support  for  survivors 
of  such  a  heinous  act. 

The  Office  of  Women's  Services  created  a  program  to 
provide  students  counseling  and  support  through  The 
Victim  Advocate  Program,  which  helped  victims  who  were 
assaulted  and  needed  immediate  counseling. 

This  program  made  available  advocates  for  students  to 
talk  to  not  only  during  the  day,  but  also  after  5  p.m.  and  on 
weekends.  In  the  past  immediate  counseling  was  not 
offered  after  regular  w^orking  hours.  The  program  was 
implemented  to  give  support  and  information  to  victims 
according  to  their  needs. 

"It's  good  to  know  that  women  have  someone  to  turn  to 
who  will  just  listen.  I  have  friends  who  have  been  harassed 
and  didn't  know  ^vhat  to  do,  but  knowing  there  is 
someplace  you  can  call  just  for  information  or  support  is 
great,"  sophomore  Jean  Kirkman  said. 

The  director  of  the  Office  of  Women's  Concerns,  Lexie 
Jepson  Rodgers,  worked  as  an  advocate  in  the  program 
helping  victims,  primarily  giving  support  and  taking 
information  when  a  student  contacted  her.  The  primary 
coordinator  of  the  program  was  Connie  Shanks  who  was 
the  primary  advocate  working  \vith  students. 

'A  feeling  of  safety  and  support  are  first  provided, 
working  on  the  immediate  needs  of  the  student.  We're 
basically  there  as  a  support  system  for  the  student,  " 
Rodgers  said. 

This  improved  counseling  helped  students  know  their 
rights  and  the  other  alternatives  open  to  them.    Working 


with  both  the  University  and  Tallahassee.  Police 
Departments,  the  program  allo^A'ed  students  to  press 
charges  or  to  report  the  crime  for  documentation  and 
possible  use  later. 

"It's  a  positive  improvement  for  students  and  a  good 
support  center  for  women,"  Misty  Farrow,  a  Fashion 
Merchandise  major,  said. 

Support  groups  were  also  provided  for  students.  These 
groups  met  at  undisclosed  times  and  locations  for  the  safety 
of  the  victim.  Anyone  who  was  interested  in  the  groups  was 
encouraged  to  contact  the  office  of  Women's  Concerns;  all 
calls  were  screened  before  giving  out  any  other  information 
to  callers. 

The  efforts  to  support  victims  increased  with  the 
addition  of  The  Sexual  Assault  Task  Group,  comprised  of 
representatives  of  different  areas  around  campus  such  as 
the  Thagard  Health  Center,  the  Escort  Service,  the 
University  police  and  the  Housing  Department.  They  met 
to  look  at  preventative  measures  and  responses  to  assaults 
on  campus.  They  worked  to  educate  members  and  get 
information  from  the  representatives  on  improvements  in 
counseling. 

"We  basically  feed  off  one  another  for  information  to 
help  provide  students  \vith  the  right  information  and  to 
close  gaps  and  solve  problems  in  programs,  "  Rodgeis  said. 

The  Office  of  Women's  Concerns  worked  to  improve 
response  to  a  need  for  support  and  counseling  and 
information, but  statistics  from  the  office  of  Women's 
Concerns  showed  that  lastyear  only  24  sexual  batteries  and 
four  attempted  assaults  were  reported.  These  numbers  did 
not  clearly  indicate  the  number  of  assaults  actually 
committed  on  campus  because  so  many  students  did  not 
report  them. 

"We  encourage  people  to  report  (sexual  assaults).  No 
one  should  be  forced  to  go  forward,  but  rather  to  report  it 
for  their  own  mental  well-being  and  so  the  healing  process 
can  begin,"  Rodgers  said. 

Students  were  encouraged  to  report  any  type  of  sexual 
battery  from  harassment  to  rape  to  the  University  police  at 
64A-1259  or  to  the  Victim  Advocate  Program  at  644-2785. 
Whatever  the  choice  of  the  student,  the  advocate 
program  was  there  to  support  as  well  as  inform  students  of 
their  rights.  This  expanded  and  improving  program 
helped  students  to  not  only  find  solutions  to  their  problems, 
but  also  an  advocate  on  campus.

THE  INTERNATIONAL  STUDENT 
CENTER  ADDS  NEW  CULTURE 


On  March  12,  the  University's  International  Student 
Center  celebrated  its  official  grand  opening  and  ribbon- 
cutting  ceremony  after  four  years  of  planning  and 
dedication. 

But  the  Center  was  already  moving  in  a  fully  functional 
capacity  long  before  the  ribbons  were  cut  in  Iront  of  several 
hundred  spectators  at  its  new  home  on  Wildwood  Drive. 

During  most  of  the  fall  semester,  anxious  and  dedicated 
staff  prepared  to  make  the  newly-renovated  building  a 
second  home  for  international  students.  Freshly-painted 
white  washed  walls  with  peach  trimming  enclosed  nothing 
but  new^  gray  carpeting  until  the  furniture,  most  of  it 
donated,  arrived  to  fill  the  three-story  building. 

The  former  International  Student  Office  located  in 
Bryan  Hall  was  cramped  and  lacking  in  the  facilities 
necessary  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  growing  population  of 
international  students. 

The  new  center  had  a  reception  area  and  lounge  in  the 
entrance  ol  the  building  and  modern  staff  offices 
throughout  the  entire  entrance  floor.  The  other  levels  had 
recreation  facilities  where  students  could  relax  with  their 
peers  and  conference  rooms  available  lor  them  to  reserve  for 
organization  meetings. 

"It  is  very  important  to  have  a  place  for  them  to  be 
comfortable,"  intern  Judy  Law^rence  said.  Lawrence 
assisted  in  the  hosting  program  that  placed  international 
students  with  American  host  families. 

In  1989,  Associate  Vice  President  for  Student  Affairs 
Sherrill  Ragans  recommended  an  abandoned  fraternity 
house  for  the  center's  future  location,  a  site  some  criticized 
with  skepticism. 

"Some  said  that  it  wouldn't  work,  "  Ragans  said.  "  It  was 
a  band  of  the  faithful  that  made  it  happen." 

One  of  the  faithful  band,  Roberta  Christie  ■  became  the 
Center's  Director.  Christie  introduced  its  motto,  "We  are 
open  to  the  world,"  at  the  opening  ceremony. 

"The  Center  is  open  tor  the  non-academic  needs  of  over 


800  international  students  who  come  to  FSU  from  100 
different  countries,"   Christie  said. 

She  cited  the  Center's  openness  to  new^  cultures  as 
support  for  these  students  {78  percent  of  whom  ^vere 
graduate  students)  and  support  for  their  children  and 
spouses. 

The  Center  operated  on  three  levels:  1)  immigration 
services,  which  helped  international  students  stay  \vithin 
their  visa  status,  2)  orientation,  which  gave  students  a  sense 
of  -welcoming  and  adjustment  and  3)  cross-cultural 
training,  \vhich  educated  students  on  aspects  of  American 
culture  and  allowed  them  to  share  their  culture  with  others. 

At  the  ribbon-cutting  ceremony,  Dr.  Jon  Dalton,  Vice 
President  for  Student  Affairs,  spoke  on  the  importance  of 
strengthening  ties  with  international  students  based  on  his 
former  contact  with  the  international  program  at  the 
University  of  Kentucky. 

"The  Center  will  give  visibility  to  others  about 
international  issues  and  it  will  give  the  international 
students  facilities  for  support,"  Dalton  said. 

University  President  Dale  Lick  hoped  the  Center  would 
make  the  school  a  model  of  diversity  and  pluralism. 

"The  ribbon  cutting  represents  the  removal  of  one  more 
barrier  of  what  \ve  could  do  because  of  where  we  came 
from,  "  Lick  said. 

The  Center  implemented  its  Brown  Bag  Luncheon 
series  just  a  few  weeks  after  its  official  grand  opening. 
Students  and  community  members  brought  their  lunches  to 
the  Center  and  heard  a  series  of  speakers  on  different 
international  issues.  The  series  presented  lectures  such  as 
"Human  Rights  in  Haiti  "and  "An  Introduction  to  the  Peace 
Corps"  usually  led  by  experienced  speakers  and 
international  students  who  helped  to  contribute  to  the  goal 
of  multi-culturalism. 

"By  providing  a  service  to  the  community  and  faculty, 
we  hope  it  will  increase  awareness,  "  graduate  assistant  Alba 
Aguero  said.

STUDENTS  COPE  WITH  THE  DISEASE 


Debbie  never  thought  about  acquiring  the  AIDS  virus 
until  Steve,  her  boyi^riend  of  two  years  got  a  call  f^rom  an  ex- 
girlfriend.  She  called  Steve  to  tell  him  she  was  HIV-positive 
and  suddenly  Debbie  and  her  boytriend  laced  the  possibil- 
ity ot  infection. 

"Itwasscary  lor  both  of  us  to  hear. ..but  I'm  truly  gratelul 
she  cared  and  let  my  boyfriend  know.  We  are  going  to  be 
tested,"  Debbie  said. 

The  Acquired  Immune  Deficiency  Syndrome  was  the 
disease  that  infected  Steve's  ex-girlfnend  and  millions  of 
others  like  her  who  may  have  had  unprotected  sex,  shared 
a  drug  needle  or  received  blood  transfusions  by  infected 
carriers.  AIDS  was  caused  by  the  Human  Immunodefi- 
ciency Virus  which  has  been  found  to  destroy  the  body's 
ability  to  fight  illnesses. 

Once  thought  to  be  associated  with  homosexuals  only, 
AIDS  has  become  a  globally  threatening  killer,  nondis- 
criminatory to  any  race,  creed  or  color.  Unprotected  sex, 
contaminated  blood  transfusions,  IV  drug  use  and  mother 
to  child  transmission  •were  the  main  -ways  AIDS  found  its 
host. 

Although  a  great  deal  about  AIDS  remained  a  mystery, 
much  has  been  learned  about  its  effects  and  characteristics. 
Extensive  education,  testing  and  counseling  has  been  made 
available  to  University  students. 

Thagard  Student  Health  Center  offered  confidential 
HIV  testing  for  students  and  faculty  at  a  cost  of  $15.  The 
confidential  testing  performed  by  Thagard  Center  was 
different  from  the  anonymous  testing  offered  at  the  Leon 
County  Health  Department  because  "confidential"  meant 
the  test  result  was  put  into  the  student's  record  instead  of 
remaining  anonymous.  The  test  results  were  never  re- 
ported but  several  doctors  may  have  had  access  to  these 
student  records. 

To  be  tested,  students  must  have  had  counseling  to 
ensure  the  students'  awareness  of  the  possibilities  and 
options  available  if  they  were  infected  with  the  virus.  If 
students  confessed  to  a  dangerous  lifestyle,  counseling 
helped  educate  them  on  proper  prevention  of  the  AIDS 


virus  and  gave  them  advice  on  safer  sex  practices.  Coun- 
seling was  also  been  a  useful  tool  to  help  students  who 
tested  positive  to  cope  and  get  information. 

"So  many  college  students  have  sex  and  don't  use 
condoms.  They  think  it  won't  happen  to  me.  I'm  young.' 
and  that's  just  not  the  way  it  works,  "  AIDS  activist  Tim 
Greene  said. 

It  was  estimated  that  one  out  of  every  500  college 
students  in  the  entire  United  States  was  infected  with 
the  AIDS  virus  and  between  October  1991  and  October 
1992  and  31  percent  of  the  cases  were  heterosexually 
transmitted. 

Unfortunately,  there  was  no  successful  treatment  for 
AIDS,  only  medicine  that  has  prolonged  the  lives  of  those 
tragically  stricken  with  the  deadly  disease. 

Several  organizations,  hotlines  and  activists  helped  an- 
swer some  of  the  questions  about  AIDS  and  raised  money 
for  research  and  health  care  for  patients. 

One  group  of  volunteer  students  known  as  "FSU  To- 
day" completed  a  semester's  worth  of  training  to  become 
qualified  counselors  for  students. 

Skits  on  safer  sex  education  were  performed  by  the 
counselors  in  the  dorms  and  Greek  houses  as  well  as  for 
other  organizations  to  promote  AIDS  awareness. 

The  Names  Project  was  a  community  organization  that 
raised  the  money  and  effort  to  bring  the  traveling  AIDS 
quilt  to  Tallahassee  in  fall  1993.  Each  section  of  the  quilt 
represented  someone's  life  before  they  died  of  AIDS. 
Whether  it  was  a  ballet  slipper  for  a  dancer  or  a  wedding 
band  sewn  on  to  the  quilt  patch,  it  was  an  artistic  and  caring 
way  to  remember  loved  ones  lost  to  AIDS. 

Students  also  volunteered  for  and  received  help  from  the 
Florida  AIDS  Hotline  in  Tallahassee.  The  hotline  served 
callers  seven  days  a  week,  addressing  questions  and  con- 
cerns about  AIDS  under  a  code  of  confidentiality. 

The  reality  of  AIDS  affected  everyones  lives  and  in- 
fected some  to  the  point  of  death.  If  estimates  were  correct, 
between  50-70  students  on  this  campus  alone  may  have 
already  tested  positive  in  just  this  past  year.

MASCOT  FACES 
OPPOSITION,  BUT 
STANDS  STRONG 


For  years  the  Seminole  Mascot  has  been  a  symbol  of 
courage,  strength  and  tenacity  for  many  students  and  fac- 
ulty members  at  the  University.  However,  Mike  Haney,  an 
official  of  the  Seminole  Nation  in  Oklahoma  and  a  member 
of  the  board  of  directors  for  the  National  Coalition  Against 
Racism  in  Sports  and  Music,  found  the  mascot  offensive. 

"(The  Mascot)  is  as  much  a  racial  slur  as  the  use  oi 
blackface,"  Haney  said,  referring  to  white  actors  painting 
their  faces  black  to  perpetuate  negative  stereotypes  of 
African  Americans. 

Haney  also  cited  other  examples  where  he  felt  the  Uni- 
versity demonstrated  insensitivity  towards  the  Seminole 
Indian  culture. 

"The  tomahawk  chop  simulates  scalping,  an  act  of  vio- 
lence that  the  French  and  other  Europeans  practiced  for 
the  bounties  on  the  scalps  of  my  people:  80  cents  for  the 
men,  50  cents  for  the  ^A'omen  and  40  cents  for  the  children," 
Haney  said. 

Haney  demanded  such  Seminole  traditions  be  abol- 
ished and  that  the  University  eventually  drop  the  Seminole 
mascot  altogether.  He  threatened  to  file  suit  against  the 
University  if  satisfactory  results  were  not  reached  by  a 
specified  deadline. 

Haney  s  threats  prompted  a  meeting  among  himself. 
University  President  Dale  Lick  and  other  administrators 
on  Dec.  22,  1992.  There,  Lick  agreed  to  a  meeting  with 
Haney  at  a  later  date  and  appointed  Director  of  Human 
Resources  Freddie  Groomes  to  be  the  liaison  between 
Haney  and  the  University. 

"I  respect  and  understand  his  interest,"  Groomes  said, 
"but  this  is  a  very  sensitive  issue  on  both  sides  and  we  need 
to  make  sure  we  do  the  right  thing." 

Following  the  meeting  Haney  was  not  satisfied  with  the 
amount  of  progress  the  University  made  to  fulfill  his  de- 
mands. 

"Basically,  they  have  done  very  little,  if  anything...  Fd 


like  to  see  a  plan  of  action,  some  timetable.  But  maybe  we'll 
have  to  move  them  through  threats  and  civil  disobedience," 
Haney  said. 

Lick  defended  the  University  and  said  that  Haney  s 
complaints  were  being  recognized  and  dealt  w^ith  accord- 
ingly. University  ofhcials  have  met  with  members  of  the 
Seminole  Tribe  of  Florida.  In  fact,  James  Billie,  chairper- 
son of  the  Seminole  Tribe  of  Florida,  was  honored  by  the 
-way  the  University  portrayed  the  Seminole  Mascot.  An- 
other true  Seminole,  Shayne  Osceola,  had  a  great  deal  of 
pride  in  the  University's  Seminoles. 

"(The  mascot)  is  a  portrayal  of  a  Seminole  Indian  who 
is  noble,  strong  and  full  of  integrity,  "Osceola  said. 

However,  Haney  felt  that  the  University  used  the  Semi- 
noles of  Florida  to  justify  their  racism.  In  addition,  he 
stressed  that  they  (Florida  Seminoles)  did  not  speak  for  all 
Seminoles  or  Native  Americans.  In  fact,  Haney  believed 
that  Florida  Seminoles  were  in  the  minority  when  it  came  to 
the  issue  at  hand. 

"Every  Indian  I  know  is  mad  at  the  University  because 
everything  they  do  affects  us,  "  Haney  said. 

If  Haney  took  the  University  to  court,  thousands  of  fans 
might  be  affected  as  well. 

In  the  early  days,  fans  extended  their  hands  and  bent 
their  arms  at  the  elbows.  This  motion,  labeled  the  "Seminole 
Chop"  urged  the  football  team  to  score  a  touchdown.  It  was 
largely  done  while  the  team  was  on  offense  as  a  symbol  of 
toughness,  unity  and  a  reluctance  to  give  up. 

However,  some  people  believe  that  old  mascots  -  like  old 
habits  -  die  hard.  Even  if  Haney  took  the  University  to 
court,  most  people,  like  economics  major  Efrem  Carter, 
were  not  certain  that  fans  would  stop  urging  the  Seminole 
to  victory  with  traditional  methods.  "I  think  the  majority  of 
students  are  not  in  favor  of  phasing  out  the  mascot.  And 
police  would  probably  have  to  arrest  the  entire  stadium  to 
keep  them  from  chanting,  "  Carter  said.

DOUGH 

ADDITIONAL  FUNDING  MAKES  FINANCIAL  AID  A 

REAL  POSSIBILITY 


In  an  effort  to  ease  tensions  over  the  education  cuts  that 
swept  the  nation  in  1991,  the  U.S.  Congress  put  through 
legislation  which  revised  the  federal  financial  aid  system. 

"Congress  looked  at  college  costs,  the  economy  and  the 
job  market  and  saw  that  students  needed  more  assistance," 
Michael  Wielgus,  marketing  officer  for  the  Barnett  Higher 
Exlucation  Loan  Program,  said. 

The  revisions,  which  went  into  effect  in  July  for  the 
1993-94  year,  authorized  renovations  of  aid  programs, 
more  flexible  eligibility  guidelines,  a  more  simplistic  aid 
application  and  an  increase  in  overall  funding. 

Revisions  to  the  aid  application  included  a  reduction 
from  125  to  50  questions  which  served  several  functions. 
Topics  which  were  addressed  included  total  income, 
financial  assets  and  income  tax  paid.  Dependent  students 
were  required  to  provide  information  pertaining  to  their 
parents'  income,  also. 

After  the  application  process  was  completed,  students 
could  receive  grants  or  other  forms  of  reward  money.  Some 
students  received  money  through  a  work  study  program 
offered  by  the  University.  Students  who  qualified  are  given 
jobs  in  different  offices  on  campus  doing  a  variety  of  things 
from  paperwork  to  working  the  desk  in  a  dormitory  on 
campus.  This  not  only  provided  students  with  the  needed 
aid,  but  also  helped  them  to  leel  they  have  earned  the 
money. 

Obviously,  the  dreaded  task  of  applying  for  financial  aid 
has  been  changed.  But,  more  importantly,  questions  about 
parent's  home  equity  have  been  eliminated. 

According  to  the  U.S.  News  &  World  Report  1993 
College  Guide,  this  made  about  2.5  million  more  students 
eligible  for  aid  nationally. 

"In  previous  years  that  (home  equity  questions) 
knocked  out  a  lot  of  students  or  they  didn't  get  as  much  as 
they  could   have,"  Joanne   Clark,   a  coordinator  in   the 


University's  financial  aid  office  said. 

The  University  received  $20  million  for  its  financial  aid 
budget,  an  increase  of  $2  million  from  the  previous  year. 
Stafford  loans  were  increased  in  value  from  $2,625  to 
$3,500  for  freshmen  and  sophomores  and  from  $4,000  to 
$5,500  for  juniors,  seniors  and  graduate  students. 

The  department  also  added  to  its  program  the  onsite 
unsubsidized  loan  application.  The  loan  program  offered  a 
loan  in  the  amount  of  choice  which  the  student  was 
automatically  approved  for. 

Federal  grants  were  also  increased.  The  Federal  Pell 
Grant  was  due  to  be  funded  up  to  $3,700;  however,  due  to 
a  limited  budget,  the  grant  was  allocated  $2,300. 

"Considering  all  the  cuts  and  tuition  increases  we've  had 
in  the  past,  this  is  the  best  news  yet,"  junior  communication 
major  Mike  Sartore  said. 

The  new  revisions  also  helped  to  combat  a  rise  in  the  aid 
applicants  needed  due  to  the  national  recession.  Because  of 
the  shape  of  the  economy,  many  people  returned  to  school 
for  further  education. 

With  this  return  to  furthering  one's  education  came  an 
increase  in  the  number  of  applicants  requesting  aid. 
Because  this  increase  coincided  with  the  added  funding, 
money  was  alloted  on  a  "first  come,  first  serve  basis."  The 
University  financial  aid  office  strongly  urged  all  applicants 
to  apply  early  because  of  the  added  funding  and  probability 
of  receiving  aid. 

"I  usually  fill  out  my  forms  before  I  leave  for  Spring 
Break.  What's  two  hours  of  paperwork  on  a  plane 
compared  to  a  whole  year  with  nothing  but  lint  in  your 
pockets?"  junior  hospitality  administration  major  Geoff 
Tucker  said. 

Financial  aid  was  in  the  past  nothing,  but  a  hassle  for 
many  students,  but  with  these  economic  improvements  aid 
became  not  only  a  real  possibility  for  many,  but  an  added 
sourcce  of  hope.

TENURED  HISTORY  PROFESSOR 
FACES  LAW  SUIT 


After  weeks  of  deliberation  during  a  University 
hearing,  Dr.  David  Ammerman,  a  tenured  history 
professor  with  29  years  of  teaching  spent  in  Tallahassee, 
was  silent  about  the  administrative  decision  on  the  status  of 
his  employment  in  light  of  drug  and  student  program 
scandals. 

Ammerman  was  arrested  May  20  on  charges  of 
cocaine  possession  and  purchase  after  a  four-month 
investigation  conducted  by  the  Tallahassee  Police 
Department  and  University  police.  It  was  later  alledged 
that  sexual  misconduct  occurred  within  a  minority 
mentoring  program  founded  by  Ammerman. 

TPD  Chief  Mel  Tucker  said  he  had  been  aware  of 
rumors  about  Ammerman's  drug  use  in  the  early  eighties 
but  he  was  not  compelled  to  investigate  Ammerman  until 
allegations  of  child  abuse  in  the  program  were  brought 
against  him. 

The  Summer  Enrichment  Program,  designed  by 
Ammerman  to  recruit  more  minorities  to  campus,  was  just 
one  of  many  efforts  made  by  Ammerman  to  improve  race 
relations  on  campus. 

Aside  from  the  $70,000  excess  above  its  budget, 
the  program  was  criticized  for  the  allegations  of  abuse  of 
the  children  in  the  program  as  well  as  drug  and  sexual 
abuse  by  the  counselors.  One  report  claimed  that  a  student 
was  sexually  involved  with  one  of  the  counselors  and 
became  pregnant. 

Ammerman  denied  that  he  had  ever  degraded  or 
humiliated  African-Americans  in  the  programs  but 
admitted  to  spanking  several  high  school  students  in  the 
program  after  the  counselors  left  because  they  were  "out  of 
control." 

Ammerman  was  fired  from  the  program  because 
the  overexpenditure  of  the  program's  budget  but  other 


overtones  of  misconduct  began  to  surface. 

In  September,  Ammerman  asked  the  court  to  drop 
charges  of  drug  possession  based  on  the  breach  of 
confidentiality  of  the  police  report  under  Florida  law. 
Ammerman  also  accused  TPD  of  editing  interview's  to 
ensure  unfavorable  press  coverage  as  part  of  a  conspiracy 
with  the  University  to  destroy  his  career. 

"The  concerted  press  campaign  assisted  by  TPD 
has  destroyed  any  possibility  of  the  defendant  receiving  a 
fair  trial,"  Ammerman's  attorney  Robert  Cox  said.  "No 
)uror  could  possibly  decide  this  case  fairly.  " 

The  police  denied  that  any  conspiracy  existed  and 
also  dismissed  the  argument  of  record  confidentiality. 
Since  the  investigation  had  ended,  the  case  was  no  longer 
active  and  Ammerman's  record  was  subject  to  public 
access. 

Ammerman  later  admitted  that  he  had  a  drug 
problem  and  pleaded  "  no  contest "  to  a  possession  of  cocaine 
charge. 

"As  I  told  you,  I  am  addicted  to  cocaine.  I 
understand  that  things  that  happen  to  me  are  things  I 
deserve,  things  I've  caused.  I  very  much  regret  that  I  also 
made  other  people  suffer,"  Ammerman  said. 

Cox  fought  the  shadier  set  of  allegations,  which 
included  tales  of  sexual  domination  games  with  black  men 
and  misconduct  in  the  very  mentoring  program 
Ammerman  founded  to  give  support  to  African- 
Americans,  by  emphasizing  Ammerman's  drug  addiction 
as  the  reason  for  his  behavior. 

Assistant  State  Attorney  Jack  Poitinger  refuted 
this    contention    because    of  the    negative    message 
Ammerman's  dismissal  from  the  charges  would  have  sent  in 
terms  of  racial  disruption.

"  It  \vould  create  a  model  that  said  ityou  happen  to 
be  important  and  happen  to  be  \vhite,  you  can  beat  the 
charge,"   Poitinger  said. 

Leon  County  Judge  William  Gary  withheld 
adjucation  (charges  of  guilt)  in  a  ruling  on  Jan.  26.  Gary 
sentenced  Ammerman  to  seven  years  probation  with  the 
condition  of  random  drug  testing.  He  also  hned  him  $250 
in  court  costs  and  ordered  him  to  continue  drug  treatment. 

The  University  began  a  hearing  Feb.  17  to 
determine  Ammerman  s  faculty  status.  Ammerman  was  on 
paid  leave  at  the  College  of  William  and  Mary  during  the 
investigations  and  after  his  trial,  the  University 
administration  w^as  forced  to  make  a  decision  about 
^vhether  or  not  he  could  return  to  his  former  position  as  a 
tenured  professor. 

Ammerman  argued  that  he  should  not  be  fired 
because  of  his  status  as  a  tenured  professor  but  Dr.  Ed 
Love,  a  tenured  arts  professor  against  Ammerman's  return, 
denied  the  validity  of  his  argument. 

"Tenure  \vasn't  designed  to  protect  lifestyle,  " 
Love  said.  "It  was  designed  to  protect  academic 
freedom. ..the  University  must  set  the  moral  standards  for 
FSU." 

In  a  forum  hosted  by  the  Black  Student  Union, 
students  unanimously  called  for  Ammerman's  dismissal, 
not  because  of  the  charges  he  faced,  but  because  of  the 
abuse  of  the  trust  that  many  children  placed  in  him  as  the 
leader  of  several  minority  empowerment  organizations. 

"He  broke  the  trust  of  so  many  people.  He  led  so 
many  people  to  believe  he  was  helping  out  young  black 
males  and  the  fact  is  he  was  adding  to  the  problem,"  BSU 
president  Ahli  Moore  said. 

Over  7,000  minority  children  passed  through 
Ammerman's  programs,  many  of  \vhom  talked  about 
certain  Ammerman  incidents,  but  only  one  filed  a  formal 
complaint. 

Ammerman  chose  to  have  his  case  reviewed  by  a 
board  of  three  faculty  members  from  the  faculty  grievance 
committee,  which  would  advise    Provost  Robert  Glidden 


whether  the  retention  or  expulsion  of  Ammerman  as  a 
professor.  Glidden,  however,  was  not  required  to  take 
their  advice. 

Ammerman  requested  that  the  peer  hearings  stay 
closed.  Former  student  and  attorney  for  the  University 
trials,  William  Williams,  claimed  Ammerman  wanted  to 
prove  to  the  kids  in  the  program  that  he  -was  not  the  "ogre  " 
the  police  reports  made  him  out  to  be. 

"To  resign  in  the  face  of  all  of  that  would  be  to 
have  a  black  cloud  over  his  head,"  Williams  said.  "That  is 
something  he  is  unwilling  to  live  with." 

Even  before  the  University  hearings  started, 
rumors  were  rampant  that  Ammerman's  pension  and 
faculty  position  were  at  stake  since  the  University  had 
already  hired  $100,000  in  legal  help  to  fire  Ammerman. 

As  far  back  as  August,  University  President  Dale 
Lick  said  the  allegations  against  Ammerman  were 
"behaviors  that  would  be  outrageous  and  intolerable  at  any 
university.  " 

Dr.  Freddie  Groomes,  Executive  Assistant  of 
Human  Resources,  initiated  the  1990  investigation  that 
took  Ammerman  off  of  the  Summer  Enrichment  Program. 
She  said  that  she  felt  Ammerman  ■was  corrupt  and  abused 
the  system. 

Ammerman  had  a  lot  of  support,  however,  from 
former  students  and  colleagues  who  regarded  him  a 
selfless,  dedicated  and  generous  man  who  w^orked  to  get 
minority  students  to  college  and  supported  them  once  they 
^vere  there. 

"WTienyou  talk  about  the  youth  throughout  this 
state  who  need  help  and  assistance,  I  can't  think  of 
anybody  who's  made  a  difference  at  the  level  he  has,"  Eric 
Riley,  a  former  student  who  later  became  a  lobbyist  with 
the  Florida  Education  Association,  said. 

"I  think  as  a  department  we  don't  know  anything 
more  than  what  we  read.  I  do  know  that  Professor 
Ammerman  has  made  enormous  contributions  to  the 
University  in  the  past,"  associate  history  chairperson 
Valerie  Conner  said.

STUDENTS  TAKE 
POLITICS  OFF  CAMPUS 


Two  students,  one  undergraduate  and  one  law 
student,  hopped  on  the  pohtical  bandwagon  in  the  spring  to 
campaign  for  Seat  A  in  the  City  Commission  elections. 

Student  body  President  Jeanne  Belin  and  law 
student,  entrepreneur  Scott  Aladdox  campaigned  against 
six  other  candidates  in  the  primaries.  However,  Belin  lost 
early  when  the  results  ol  the  hrst  primaries  were  tallied. 

Maddox  went  on  to  defeat  attorney  Craig  Dennis 
by  a  ten  percent  point  margin  in  the  Feb.  23  elections. 

Although  24-year-old  Belin  was  the  youngest 
candidate  running  lor  the  City  Commission  seat,  she  had 
previously  earned  experience  in  campus  politics.  Belin 
hoped  to  gain  support  from  the  University  community  by 
giving  students  a  voice  in  local  politics. 

While  her  appeal  to  students'  needs  on  issues  such 
as  transportation,  jobs  and  affordable  housing  may  have  hit 
home  with  some  students,  Belin  did  not  narro\v  her 
campaign  to  students.  Instead,  she  attempted  to  address 
the  needs  ol  the  community. 

"I  have  put  together  a  platform  that  concerns  all 
the  citizens  of  Tallahassee,"  Belin  said.  "Mine  is  a 
candidacy  to  unify  the  whole  community." 

The  Miami  native  promised  to  work  on  relations 
between  the  University  and  the  local  government,  to  create 
acitizens'advisorygroup  to  deal  with  public  input  on  issues 
and  to  keep  utility  rates  "under  control."  She  did  not  take 
a  side  on  the  community's  debate  of  whether  to  expand 
Capital  Parkway  at  $300  million  but  she  supported  a 
streamlined  process  for  permits  and  development  which 
may  have  cut  through  some  bureaucratic  red  tape  in 
community  growth. 

College  Democrats  President  Erik  Milman 
resigned  as  Belin's  campaign  manager  by  the  end  of 
January  based  on  "a  difference  in  philosophy  "  with  the 
candidate.  Belin  believed  Milman  was  too  focused  on  the 
University  community's  vote  and  she  wanted  a  manager 
who  was  more  informed  about  the  community  and  local 
politics. 

Stuart  Reese,  a  local  businessman  who  managed 
an  unsuccessful  campaign  for  property  appraiser  in  the 
past,  w^as  the  man  Belin  chose  to  help  her  move  her 
campaign  deeper  into  the  Tallahassee  community. 


Belin  waived  the  $250  qualifying  fee  by  collecting 
500  petition  signatures,  but  she  was  unsuccessful  in 
winning  seat  4.  However,  Belin  endorsed  Maddox  who 
was  still  in  the  race  against  Craig  Dennis. 

"I  don't  want  to  be  part  of  the  problem  but  rather 
part  of  the  solution,  "   Belin  said. 

In  an  election  with  a  27  percent  turnout,  Maddox 
beat  his  contender  by  1770  votes  and  credited  his  success  to 
the  "grassroots  "  effort. 

Maddox  said  he  was  inspired  to  run  for  political 
office  during  his  days  as  a  page  in  the  Florida  Legislature. 
Born  and  raised  in  Tallahassee,  Maddox  grew  up  in  the 
political  family  of  Charles  Maddox,  his  father. 

Maddox  received  a  Bachelor  of  Science  degree  in 
Political  Science  and  Public  administration  in  December  of 
1989,  and  began  law  school  in  1991.  He  took  a  few  years 
off  from  his  studies  to  start  his  own  marketing  firm. 
Spectrum  Resources,  and  he  has  served  on  several  advisor\' 
boards  for  the  Muscular  Dystrophy  Association  and  Big 
Bend  Deaf  Service  Center. 

Maddox  was  named  the  most  outstanding  Jaycee 
President  in  Florida  and  the  nation  during  his  term  as 
President  of  the  Capital  City  Jaycees. 

His  "Committment  to  Tallahassee  "  campaign  for 
city  commissioner  gave  him  more  clout  than  his  previous 
unsuccessful  bid  for  state  representative  in  1990.  In  the 
previous  election,  Maddox  raised  over  $100,000  but  his 
failed  campaign  yielded  only  34  percent  of  the  votes  needed 
to  beat  incumbent  Representative  Hurley  Rudd. 

After  losing  to  Rudd,  Maddox  became  a  member 
of  the  Alternative  Transportation  Committee  and  the  Leon 
County  Transportation  Mediation  Commission  which  he 
said  has  given  him  more  insight  on  an  issue  he  has  been 
interested  in  for  some  time. 

"Unless  we  change  people's  attitudes.. .we're  going 
to  keep  frilling  the  roads  like  we  fill  prisons,"  Maddox  said 
in  view  of  the  city's  transportation  problems. 

Maddox  also  committed  himself  to  improving  the 
environment  and  conducting  a  "walking  poll"  as  a 
commissioner  who  cared  about  the  issues  that  people  in  the 
community  were  concerned  about. 

"  I  m  going  to  vote  my  conscience  and  what  I  think 
is  best  for  the  people  of  Tallahassee,"  Maddox  said.

Now 


WhaT  r 


ONWARD  TO  GRADUATE  SCHOOL  OR 
THE  WORKING  WORLD 


The  economy  was  in  a  recession  and  the  job  market  was 
down.  However,  students  were  graduating  from  college  at 
an  all-time  high.  With  fewer  jobs  available,  what  was  a 
college  graduate  to  do?  And  more  importantly,  what  was 
a  college  degree  worth  today? 

"I  decided  to  go  to  graduate  school,  because  I  didn't  see 
a  bachelor  degree  as  cutting  it  anymore.  Today  you  need  to 
have  an  extra  edge,  a  competitive  edge.  Without  a  graduate 
degree  I  don't  think  you  do,  "  Charles  Marelli,  a  first  year 
graduate  student,  said. 

Many  students  felt  the  same  way  so  instead  of  going 
straight  to  work  right  out  of  school  they  decided  to  further 
their  education.  Why?  Because  most  of  the  jobs  available 
were  not  suited  for  college  graduates  with  degrees  -  they 
were  usually  low  paying  jobs  without  benefits  or  any  of  the 
other  economic  securities  college  graduates  sought. 

"I  don't  want  just  any  job,  "  Amber  Rummel,  a  senior 
finance/marketing  major,  said.  "It  seems  like  the  average 
person  in  the  job  market  has  a  college  degree.  I  don't  want 
to  be  ordinary.  Jobs  are  harder  to  get  today  and  I  want  to 
be  as  competitive  as  I  can.  " 

This  influx  of  applicants  for  limited  graduate  school 
spots  brought  intense  competition  in  certain  areas  of  study 
and  the  skills  required. 

"In  the  psychology  program  here  ,  there  are  about  400 
applicants  for  only  10  spots  every  year.  It's  considerably 
competitive,  "  Marie  Hume,  a  clinical  psychology  graduate 
student,  said. 

Along  with  courses  and  grades  as  criteria  lor 
acceptance,  graduate  schools  looked  at  an  applicant's 
experience  in  the  field,  such  as  internships  and 
volunteering.  The  University's  departments  put  forth 
considerable  efforts  to  make  these  opportunities  available 
to  the  students.  One  such  method  has  been  the  Directed 
Individual  Study,  where  a  student  worked  under  a 
professor  on  practical  studies  and  projects.. 

"My  DIS  gives  me  excellent  research  experience  for  a 


career  in  psychology.  Right  now  I  m  involved  with  research 
on  psychopath  assessment,  "  Katie  Gardner,  a  junior 
psychology  major,  said. 

While  many  felt  this  way,  others  always  saw  themselves 
aspiring  to  higher  levels. 

"I've  always  wanted  to  be  a  lawyer,  so  law  school  has 
always  been  something  I've  been  preparing  myself  for," 
senior  marketing  major,  Michele  Clark  said.  "It's  the  type 
of  career  I  want  and  this  marketplace  requires  a  competitive 
degree.  I've  been  living  and  breathing  the  LSAT  since  the 
semester  began,  just  so  I  can  get  into  a  good  school.  " 

To  further  a  college  education,  entrance  exams  were 
required.  The  exam  that  was  taken  depends  on  the  type  of 
graduate  degree  one  seeks  to  obtain.  The  Graduate  Record 
Examination  was  taken  lor  general  graduate  programs. 
The  Graduate  Management  Admissions  Test  was  taken  for 
future  business  education.  The  Law  School  Admissions 
Test  -was  for  those  who  desired  to  attend  law  school  and  the 
Medical  College  Admission  Test  was  taken  by  those  who 
wanted  to  go  to  medical  school. 

Some  of  the  most  common  graduate  exams  taken 
included  each  of  these  exams  were  challenging  and 
students  went  about  various  ways  of  preparing  for  them. 

"I  took  the  Kaplan  preparatory  course  to  get  ready  for 
the  LSAT,"  Clark  said. 

"I  used  the  Baron's  study  guide  to  prepare  for  the 
GMAT,"  Rummel  said. 

Although  there  were  many  different  ways  to  prepare 
for  the  tests,  the  end  result  was  what  mattered. 

"I  just  want  to  secure  my  future.  Whether  it's  law 
school  or  getting  a  MBA,  I  just  \vant  to  work  in  a 
challenging  environment  that  I  will  enjoy,  "  Clark  said. 

Regardless  of  where  one  eventually  wanted  to  be  in 
the  job  market,  furthering  one's  education  all  came  do^vn  to 
economics  and  happiness. 

So,  what  was  a  college  degree  worth  today?  It  was  a 
possible  ticket  to  future  education.

There  used  to  be  a  day  when  the  question  on  every 
senior's  mind  was  "Will  I  get  a  job  when  I  graduate?  "  But 
with  the  economy  in  an  employment  slump  and  the  increas- 
ing demand  for  professionals  and  the  "best  of  the  best "  in 
the  work  environment,  some  students  chose  to  enroll  in 
graduate  school  instead  of  pursuing  a  job  immediately  after 
graduation. 

Senior  year  was  both  exciting  and  scary  for  graduating 
seniors.  They  did  everything  from  cramming  in  every 
campus  event  that  they  failed  to  make  time  lor  over  the  past 
threeyears  into  their  busy  social  calendars  to  having  spent 
fitful  nights  preparing  the  goodbye  speeches  lor  the  zany 
friends  who  lived  next  to  them  in  the  dorm. 

But  at  the  same  time,  seniors  began  to  make  choices  that 
would  affect  them  for  the  rest  of  their  lives.  Some  mailed 
out  dozens  of  resumes  or  latched  on  to  any  internship 
remotely  related  to  their  major  so  that  they  could  enter  the 
work  force  after  four  years  of  making  the  grades.  Others 
played  the  grad  school  game. 

The  grad  school  game  seemed  easy  enough  to  play.  II 
they  filled  out  a  few  applications  and  took  a  standardized 
test,  automatically  the  job  ol  their  dreams  would  take  care 
ol  them  lor  the  rest  ol  their  lives  because  they  earned  a 
higher  degree. 

But  for  some,  the  decision  was  not  so  clearly  defined. 

"The  application  process  can  be  quite  grueling,"  doc- 
toral candidate  John  Carney  said. 

Carney,  like  many  other  graduate  students  worked  for 
a  few  years  betore  deciding  to  get  his  Master's  degree  in 
Mass  Communication.  He  then  went  on  to  pursue  a 
doctorate  for  more  career  opportunities. 

Some  students  went  to  graduate  school  because  their 


profession  of  interest  required  additional  schooling.  Ca- 
reers in  psychology,  law  and  medicine  required  higher 
degrees  and  many  executive  and  publishing  careers  sug- 
gested that  graduate  school  meant  promotion  and  advance- 
ment opportunity  lor  employees. 

Some  students  decided  that  graduate  school  was  the 
right  choice  for  them  because  they  were  100  percent  posi- 
tive that  they  wanted  to  learn  more  about  their  field  before 
jumping  into  it.  Those  who  were  not  completely  convinced 
tried  their  luck  at  entry-level  job  positions. 

Some  students  went  to  graduate  school  convinced  that 
they  were  meant  to  be  lawyers  or  doctors,  then  alter  a  lew 
years  cooped  up  in  clinical  labs  or  in  debt  Irom  the  law 
school  bill  realized  too  late  that  they  had  made  the  wrong 
decision.  Graduate  school  was  nearly  two-thirds  more 
expensive  per  credit  hour  than  undergraduate  tuition  and 
many  learned  that  higher  degrees  were  not  always  guaran- 
tees lor  securing  dream  jobs. 

Others  were  ambitious  enough  to  tackle  the  odds  and 
approached  graduate  school  with  a  serious  attitude. 

"I'm  going  to  graduate  school  because  I  want  to  be  a 
school  psychologist  and  I  need  a  higher  degree,  "  senior 
Karin  Nolte  said.  Despite  individual  differences  in  post- 
graduate decisions,  students  made  choices  that  they  would 
have  to  live  with.  With  or  w^ithout  a  few  more  years  in  the 
books,  they  may  have  come  to  the  realization  that  many 
seniors  have. ..the  decision  was  never  meant  to  be  an  easy 
one. 

"I  leel  that  a  graduate  degree  today  is  becoming  the 
bachelor  degree  of  the  past,  where  it  was  unique  to  have 
bachelors  then,  it  is  unique  to  have  your  masters  or  doctor- 
ate now,  "  Carney  said.

'c  same  daily  routines  that  had  filled  other  years 

filled  this  one.  Days  made  up  of  8  a.m.  classes  and  all  night 
study  sessions  for  that  forgotten  test  were  a  part  or  the  life  of 
a  student.  However,  thisyear  brought  with  it  new  things:  the 
first  class  of  the  undergraduate  film  students  was  graduated, 
a  cure  for  cancer  was  found,  and  research  was  completed  in 
South  Africa. 

Aside  from  the  activities  and  sports  offered,  another 
reason  that  brought  people  here  w^as  academics.  Whether  it 
\vas  the  freshman  struggling  to  adjust  or  the  sophomores 
slash  juniors  w^ho  couldn't  seem  to  meet  the  GPA 
requirement  to  get  into  their  respective  schools,  there  was 
someone  who  said  that  "this  was  the  year,  their  grades  were 
going  to  get  better."  There  w^as  also  the  balance  of  being  on 
the  Dean's  List  every  semester  while  managing  to  still  have 
a  "life"  that  didn't  result  in  moving  into  Strozier  Library. 

Regardless  of  the  category  a  person  fell  under, 
everyone  started  the  year  with  high  expectations  of  what 
they  would  be  able  to  achieve  after  a  summer  of 
recuperation.  There  was  no  telling  what  the  year  would 
bring  but  most  just  prayed  for  the  best.  The  overall  hope  was 
for  improvement  for  those  that  needed  it  and  the  sustenance 
for  those  that  didn't.  At  least  there  was  jomething  to  strive  for.

Giving  up  a  day's  pay  in  order  to  help 
students  in  need  was  just  what  Partners  for 
Pubhc  Service  had  been  encouraging  students 
to  do  for  the  past  six  years.  The  annual  pledge 
drive,  "Work  a  Day  in  Public  Service,  "  kicked 
off  Feb.  26  and  lasted  through  mid-March. 

The  day  was  established  in  order  to 
find  law  students  who  were  willing  to  give  up  a 
day's  pay  to  help  future  law  students  afford  the 
rising  costs  of  college.  One  hundred  percent  of 
the  money  went  straight  to  the  students  w^ho 
applied  for  such  help.  The  application  process 
included  filling  out  an  application  and 
developing  a  proposed  outline  of  apublic  service 
project.  The  applications  were  then  judged  by 
a  counsel  made

According  to  Nancy  McMillan,  a  law  student 
"With  the  program,  a  previousyear's  fund  raiser 
raised  about  $12,000.  This  money  helped  ten 
students  each  received  $1200. 

"I  probably  wouldn't  have  been  able 
to  attend  law  school  without  the  scholarship,  " 
23  year  old  Caria  Cody,  a  second  year  law^ 
student  who  received  money  from  the  project 
said. 

The  students  who  received  money 
literally  had  to  work  for  it.  They  were  placed  in 
jobs  with  local  businesses  and  public  service 
groups  who  agreed  to  employ  them  during  the 
summer  months. 

"The  scholarship  helped  me  get  a  taste 
of  what  public  interest  law  is  all  about, "  23year 
old  Celia  Gowen,  also  a  secondyear  law  student, 
said. 

Students  were  not  the  only  people 
asked  to  help  out  their  fellow  students,  local 


lawyers  donated  money  as  well. 

"We  either  go  through  the  phone  book 
or  we  find  them  through  \vord  of  mouth,  " 
McMillan  said. 

The  Feb.  26  pledge  drive  was  held  at 
the  Lake  Ella  American  Legion  Hall.  The  band 
Work  for  Hire  was  the  entertainment  for  the 
evening  as  was  Elle  Methvin  who  opened  for 
the  group  playing  acoustic  guitar.  There  was  a 
$5  cover  charge  for  the  party.  The  purpose  of 
the  event  was  the  chance  to  explain  the  project 
to  perspective  donors. 

In  a  previous  year,  cartoonist  Johnny 
Hart,  of  B.C.  comics  fame,  designed  a  t-shirt 
which  was  given  out  to  those  who  participated. 

For  the  most 
recent  event, 
the  t-shirt 

design  was  that 
of  a  student 
portraying  a 
likeness  of 
President 
Clinton  and  his 
wife  Hillary. 
Printed  around 
the  couple  were 
quotes  from  the 
President's  inaugural  speech. 

This  past  fund  raiser  went  very  well, 
according  to  Lorene  Nagal  with  the  Partners 
for  Public  Service  group.  The  students  set  up 
tables  throughout  the  law  school  in  order  to 
catch  passer-bys  and  inform  them  of  the  goal 
they  set.  The  most  successful  fund  raiser  was 
their  kick  off  party  last  February. 

The  event  raised  $6,000  dollars,  which 
meant  that  they  were  able  to  pay  stipends  for 
four  students.  Over  200  law^  students  and 
members  of  the  Tallahassee  community 
attended  the  party.  The  dean  of  the  law  school 
matched  the  amount  raised  by  50  percent  and 
gave  $3,000  to  the  cause.  That  money  is  to  be 
held  over;  however,  for  the  next  fund  raiser  so 
the  group  ^vill  be  ahead  instead  of  starting  from 
scratch.  Not  only  did  the  dean  match  what  was 
pledged,  local  law  firms  matched  w^hat  the 
students  pledged.

The  Leon  County  Humane  Society  initiated  a 
policy  to  restrict  researchers  at  the  University  from  joining 
the  organization  due  to  conflicting  behefs  on  animal  research 
in  September.  Specifically,  members  were  concerned  with 
research  on  pound  seizures  which  required  live  animals  for 
experimentation. 

"We,  as  members  of  the  Humane  Society,  are  here 
to  prevent  the  cruel  treatment  of  all  animals, "  John  Schroger, 
a  member  of  the  society,  said. 

The  Society's  members  were  convinced  that  four 
University  researchers  and 
a  local  physician  only  applied 
for  membership  so  that  they 
could  take  over  the  society 
and  alter  its  beliefs,  ^vhich 
strongly  protested  animal 
research. 

"I  want  to  join  this 
organization  because  of  my 
knowledge  of  animals.  I 
thought  I  had  some  expertise 
they  w^ould  be  interested  in, " 

researcher  Robert  Werner,  a  veterinarian  and  head  of  the 
University's  Lab  Animal  Resources  Department,  said. 

He  added  that  the  three  other  professors  who 
applied  for  membership  only  ^vanted  to  "present  a  balanced 
view  so  people  can  see  both  sides  of  the  issues.  " 


policies  and  funding  pressures  or  where  they  stood  in  the 
eyes  of  the  city  commissioners. 

Members  of  the  Society  claimed  that  these 
researchers  have  lobbied  against  restrictions  on  pound 
seizures  in  the  past. 

"We  don't  have  any  obligation  to  be  fair  to  these 
people,  "  Tom  Duffy,  a  local  lawyer  and  member  of  the 
Society,  said. 

Duffy  strongly  encouraged  members  to  revise  the 
group  s  application  form  by  adding  new  questions  regarding 

applicants'  occupations  and 
44  beliefs.  He  also  suggested  a 

requirement  that  applications 
be 
notarized. 

Following  deliberation, 

the  members  of  the  Society 

voted  in  favor  of  forming  a 

committee  to  revievk'  revisions 

of  the   Society's  application 

forms    and    specified    new 

membership  restrictions. 

"I  believe  they  should  be  allowed  to  join.  These 

researchers  have  a  lot  of  information  at  their  disposal  that 

could,  in  the  long  run,  benefit  the  society's  goals.  Though 

they  seem  to  conflict  with  what  the  Society  believes,  even 

animal  researchers  are  starting  to  become  humanitarians," 


We  as  members  of  the  Humane 

Society  are  here  to  prevent  the  cruel 

treatment  of  animals.

The  problem  was  complicated  because  the  Society      Wes  Grant,  a  junior  biology  major,  said. 


received  tax  money  to  run  an  animal  shelter.  This  fact 
created  an  additional  conflict  of  interest.  Could  a  city 
funded  organization  have  such  exclusive  policies  based 
upon  philosophical  beliefs?  Tallahassee  City  Commissioner 
Penny  Herman  said  the  exclusionary  policy  was  cause  for 
concern  because  of  the  society's  draw  on  tax  dollars. 

The   Society's  president,    Pam   Bruns,   said   the 
organization  w^as  unclear  on  ho^v  it  would  weigh  membership 


"It's  relative  to  what's  humane.  They  (the  Society) 
must  follo\v  the  guidelines  that  they  have  originally  set 
up,  "sophomore  philosophy  major  Sonny  Grainger  said. 

The  City  of  Tallahassee  and  Leon  County 
commissions  both  put  forth  legislation  and  voted  that  the 
Leon  County  Humane  Society  had  to  revise  its  statutes  to 
include  a  non-discriminatory  clause  in  its  membership 
practices.  The  researchers  involved  were  permitted  to  join.

Most  students  knew  someone  stricken  with  cancer. 
Since  cancer  was  one  of  the  leading  causes  of  death  in  the 
United  States,  there  has  been  an  ongoing  search  tor  an 
affordable  cure  w^ithout  dangerous  side  effects. 

Perhaps  the  scariest  thing  about  cancer  was  that 
anyone  could  develop  it  and  there  were  a  variety  oi  causes. 
Even  those  who  led  the  healthiest  lifestyles  could  become 
victims  of  this  possibly  iatal  disease.  Many  tavorite  leisure 
time  activities  were  dangerous  to  one's  health,  including 
smoking,  sun  tanning  and  poor  dieting.  Even  having 
clothes  dry  cleaned  could 
promote  the  chances  of 
getting  cancer.  Fiber,  beta 
carotene  and  general 
"healthy  "  foods  were  dietary 
recommendations  for 
reducing  the  chances  of 
getting  cancer. 

A  chemist  ry 

professor.  Dr.  Robert 
Holton,  made  headway  in 
the   battle   against   cancer 

while   to  providing  an   excellent  example   of  how  basic 
research  benefited  the  University. 

Larry  Ablele,  dean  of  the  College  of  Arts  and 
Sciences  said,  "Many  professors  and  graduate  students 
over  the  years  have  contributed  to  a  body  of  knowledge  in 
which  the  payoff  is  not  obvious  when  the  \vork  is  being 
done,  but  which  leads  to  important  breakthroughs.  Each 
step  of  the  process  builds  on  the  next  step." 

His  20years  of  research  began  with  the  search  for 
a  method  to  produce  large  quantities  of  an  anti  cancer  drug, 
taxol,  in  an  efficient,  affordable  way.  In  1971  taxol  was 
discovered  in  the  bark  of  Pacific  yew  trees.  Until  recently, 
approximately  12,000  Pacificyew  trees  had  to  be  sacrificed 
in  order  to  obtain  enough  taxol  to  treat  just  one  patient. 
Holton  developed  a  process  that  allowed  the  needles,  instead 


Some  people  believe  taxol  may  turn  out  to  be  the 
first  effective  broad  spectrum  anti-cancer  drug. 

-Dr.  Robert  Holton, 
chemistry  professor 


ol  the  bark  of  the  yew  tree  to  be  used.  This  preserved 
approximately  12,000  trees  while  producing  2.5  pounds  of 
the  drug  per  tree. 

On  the  11th  the  Food  and  Drug  Administration 
permitted  Bristol-Myers  Squibb,  a  major  pharmaceutical 
company,  to  market  taxol  for  use  against  ovarian  cancer  in 
cases  which  alternative  treatments  were  ineffective.  Its 
high  effectiveness  in  controlling  certain  types  of  cancerous 
tumors  was  unheard  of  in  previous  anti-cancer  drugs. 

"Some  people  believe  taxol  may  turn  out  to  be  the 
first  effective  broad  spectrum 
anti-cancer  drug",  said 
Holton. 

Taxol  has  also  been 
successful  with  breast  cancer 
and  testing  has  begun  with 
head,  neck  and  lung  cancer. 

Once  it  was  on  the 
market,  the  drug  could  be 
prescribed  for  any  type  of 
cancer.  Eventually,  the 
company,  who  already  shelled 
out  hundreds  of  millions  of  dollars  for  research,  -was  expected 
to  use  Holton  s  process  for  all  of  their  taxol  production. 
This  -would  bring  a  large  share  of  the  sales  to  Holton  and  to 
the  University. 

"In  this  case,  the  University  would  benefit 
financially  even  if  Holton 's  process  were  not  used  to  provide 
taxol.  His  research  alone  provided  Bristol-Myers  Squibb 
with  the  incentive  to  support  1 .7  million  in  additional  taxol 
research  at  FSU  over  fiveyears".  Associate  Vice  President 
for  Research,  Mike  Devine  said. 

The  research  contributed  a  rare  learning 
opportunity  for  graduate  and  undergraduate  students.  In 
addition,  the  University  stood  to  earn  4.25  percent  royalty 
for  all  sales  of  taxol  earned  from  Holton  s  patents. 
Approximately  60  percent  went  to  the  university.

ust  the  start 


The  School  ot  Motion  Pictures,  Television  and 
Recording  Arts  accepted  its  first  freshman  class  of 
undergraduates  in  1989.  Since  then,  the  school  has  grown 
substantially  "with  an  increase  of  faculty,  students,  classes, 
equipment  and  funds. 

Often  referred  to  as  the  "guinea  pigs"  of  the 
undergraduate  program,  the  original  20  students,  the 
graduating  class  of  1993,  were  joined  by  some  80  others  to 
complete  what  was  then  the  maximum  capacity  of  100-120 
students. 

There  have  been 
numerous   changes   in   the 

program  since  1989.   While  i 

some  classes  have  been 
dropped,  others  have  been 
added  or  changed,  and  the 
order  in  w^hich  they  were 
taken  was  switched  as  w^ell. 

"The  seniors  have 
taken  classes  we  11  nevertake 
while  we've  taken  classes 
they  haven't  had  yet,  " 
sophomore  Trey  Turner  said. 

"It's  funny,  the  seniors  have  already  shot  and  edited  their 
BFA  thesis  films  but  haven't  yet  taken  a  course  in  sound.  " 

Changes  were  made  in  the  program  to  help  better 
prepare  the  undergraduates  for  the  industry.  There  will  be 
more  changes  changes  made  in  the  next  few  years  because 
of  the  newness  of  the  Film  School.  It  was  still  shifting  and 
evolving  into  a  film  school  for  Florida. 

"The  Film  School  is  teaching  me  all  the  basics.  I 
feel  that  I  need  to  learn  the  camera  and  lighting,  improve  my 
writing  skills  and  eventually  direct,  "  sophomore  John  Martin 
said.  "But  I  need  a  strong  foundation  in  the  basics  before  I 
go  and  try  to  compete  for  a  job.  " 

Many  students  chose  the  film  school  over  the 
older,  more  prestigious  New  York  University  and  University 


The  seniors  have  taken  classes  we'll  never  take 

while  we've  taken  classes  they  haven't  yet.

-Trey  Turner, 
sophomore 


of  Southern  California  Film  programs  because  of  the 
University's  program  design.  The  University  was  the  only 
Film  School  that  paid  for  the  students'  film  and  film 
processing.  These  costs  were  very  expensive  and  deterred 
many  financially  unable  students  from  entering  this  field. 
"This  process  had  its  ups  and  downs.  The  positive 
of  the  school  providing  the  costs  is  there  are  many  students 
here  who  would  never  enter  the  industry  any  other  way,  " 
Steve  Swartz,  professor  and  filmmaker  in  residence,  said. 
"However,  the  down  side  is  that  the  students  do  not  learn 

how  to  raise  money  for  their 
films  and  it  could  paint  an 
unrealistic  picture  of  how  the 
real  film  industry  truly  is.  " 

A  thesis  film,  necessary 

for  graduation,   could   cost 

anywhere  between  $10,000- 

40,000.     At  the  University, 

$10,000  was   budgeted   for 

each  thesis  film.     However, 

unlike  other  film  schools,  the 

University      owned      the 

students'        films        after 

completion  and  had  complete  control  over  the  future  of  the 

film.  At  NYU  and  USC,  the  students  films  w^ere  their  own 

and  could  be  used  as  calling  cards  into  the  industry. 

The  thesis  films  produced  at  the  University, 
however,  ^vere  not  any  one  students'  work.  Rather,  they 
were  conglomeration  of  many  students '  efforts.  Five  seniors 
were  assigned  to  five  positions  on  each  film:  producer, 
director,  cinematographer,  sound,  and  editor.  The  other 
positions  were  filled  by  juniors,  sophomores  and  freshman. 
These  films  were  entered  into  film  festivals  like  their 
counterparts  but  the  Film  School  decided  which  films 
entered  which  festivals.  This  made  these  films  more  calling 
cards  for  the  University  than  for  the  students  themselves.

brought  prestige  as  well  as  pressure  to  these  20 
graduates.  It  was  the  first  year  that  BFA  films 
were  completed  in  the  undergraduate  program. 

"The  BFA  films  were  really  hard,  I'm 
glad  they're  finally  done,"  David  Shahoulian, 
cinematographer  of  "Regular  Glazed,"  said.  "  I 
am  very  proud  to  have  been  a  part  of  the 
growing  Film  School  with  more  classes,  more 
faculty  and  the  development  of  a  new  building.' 

Still  not  fully  operational,  the 
undergraduate  Film  School  has  shared  space 
with   the   School   of  Communication   in   the 


Diffenbaugh  building  for  three  years,  since  the 
inception  of  the  undergraduate  program. 
However,  a  $29  million  film  production  lacility 
devoted  exclusively  to  the  undergraduates  has 
been  slated  to  be  finished  by  Winter  1993.  It 
would  serve  as  part  of  the  University  Center 
complex  flanking  the  Doak  Cambell  Stadium. 
When  completed,  it  was  expected  to  be  one  of 
the  largest  and  finest  in  the  world. 

The  undergraduates'  facilities  were 
scheduled  to  have  three  stages.  It  will  fill  three 
floors  in  two  buildings  to  capacity. 

"Everyone  is  extremely  excited  about 
the  new  facilities.  It  will  be  exciting  to  have  a 
building  we  can  call  our  ow^n,"  Turner  said.

what  did  Chuck  Yeager,  Barbara  Wahers  and 
Walter  Cronkite  have  in  common?  Since  its  begining  in 
1984,  The  Distinguished  Lecture  Series  has  hosted  a  large 
variety  of  important  speakers. 

Until  the  most  recent  series,  only  three  experts 
spoke,  however  funding  allowed  the  program  to  expand  to 
five  speakers  and  was  sponsored  by  the  Student  Government 
Association,  administration,  patrons  as  well  as  corporate 
sponsors.  The  program  was  run  out  of  the  Center  of 
Professional  Development  and  Public  Services. 

"We  w^ere  fortuante  thisyear  that  we  had  a  ( school ) 
president  that  supported  the  series  so  strongly,"  series 
coordinator,  Carole 

Lockeridge  said.  "In  fact  he 
mandated  our  expansion." 

The  lecture  were 
held  at  the  Tallahassee/Leon 
County  Civic  Center 
throughout  both  semesters. 

"Students,  faculty, 
and  staff  attend  the  lectures 
tor  free  with  the  Access  card, " 
publicity  coordinator, 
Danielle  McBeth  said. 
General  admission  tickets 
were  sold  at  the  the  door  for  $9  and  $14  to  reserve  seating. 

The  first  speaker  of  the  year  was  Dr.  Jonathan 
Miller,  physician,  author  and  director.  He  was  the  host  of 
British  Broadcasting  System's  television  show  "The  Body 
in  Question."  He  also  wrote  the  best  selling  novel  The 
Human  Bock/  and  directed  such  operas  as  Rujoletto.  Because 
he  loved  both  science  and  the  arts,  he  decided  to  spend  the 
rest  of  his  career  "oscilating  between  science  and  theatre." 

October  brought  Mark  and  Delia  Owens, 
preservationists  of  Africa's  endangered  wildlife.  They 
published  the  international  best  seller  Cry  of  the  Kalahari. 
They  had  also  just  published  Siirvu'or[i  Story.  The  Owens 
supported  reeducation  of  the  natives  on  the  value  of  their 
wildlife.    They  also  taught  them  to  utilize  the  thought  of 


tourist  attractions  to  reduce  poaching. 

Nobel  Peace  Prize  winner  Dr.  Oscar  Anas  who 
spoke  in  December  was  also  awarded  an  honorary  degree 
before  the  lecture.  The  one  time  president  of  Costa  Rica 
spoke  of  the  value  of  peace  in  Central  America.  He 
originally  came  to  America  to  study  medicine  and  later 
received  his  medical  degree. 

"I  value  nothing  more  than  friendship-  between 
people  ,  friendship  between  nations.  Friendship  implies 
loyalty,  but  loyalty  is  not  synonymous  with  servitude  or 
unconditionality,  "  Arias  said. 

Tune  magazine  once  called  William  Raspberry  the 

"Lxjne  Rangerof  columnists.  " 

He  has  never  been  afraid  to 

((  address  a  controversial  topic 

giving  him  his  name. 
Raspberry  was  a  columnist 
for  the  Wajhuicjton  Pivt  and 
spoke  in  February.  He  has 
been  a  journalist  for  over 
thirty  years  and  says  he  often 
found  his  stories  close  to 
home. 

"I  think  about  things 
that  affect  me  in  my  daily  life 
as  a  father,  husband,  male,  black  man,  urban  resident, 
American...!  try  to  talk  about  these  things  from  the  point  of 
view  of  sharing  problems-  not  coming  down  from  the 
mountain  to  bestow  wisdom,"  Raspberry  said. 

Raspberry  had  recently  published //<v'/:/W^<;t'/:uM/'(^^ 
at  UtU  was  a  collection  of  columns  relative  to  many  aspects 
of  his  life,  including  his  family,  race,  education  and  criminal 
justice. 

Author  Joyce  Carol  Oates  spoke  in  March.  She 
had  published  many  novels,  many  short  story  collections, 
many  volumes  of  poetry,  several  plays  and  five  books  of 
literary  criticism  and  a  book-length  essay.  She  had  a  large 
following  and  had  won  many  awards  such  as  the  National 
Book  Award  and  the  O.  Henry  Prize. 


We  were  fortunate  this  year  to  have  a  president  that 
supported  the  series  so  strongly.

One  might  wonder  how  an  athlete  had 
time  to  devote  hours  to  studying.  However,  it 
had  to  be  done.  The  administration,  coaches, 
staff  and  NCAA  enforced  this  if  thestudent  did 
not  have  the  self  disipUne  themself. 

Each  athelete  put  in  many  hours  of 
hard  work  and  dedication  through  practice 
time,  personal  training,  travel  (to  and  Irom 
games)  and  games.  The  sport  was  demanding. 

With  NCAA  regulations  and  tight 
competition,  athletes  could  no  longer  alford  to 
be  second  best  in  any  aspects  ol  their  college 
careers.  On  the  same  note,  the  universities 
were  starting  to  care  not  only  about  producing 
world  class  champions  but  also  about 
producing 
world  class 
human  beings. 
Much  of  the 
public  did  not 
see  the  personal 
side  of  the 
athlete,  they 
were  only 
exposed  to  the 
glitter  of 
physical 

achievement.     However,  when  the  spotlight 
came  down,  that  was  where  it  stopped. 

Not  for  the  athlete. 

Along  with  their  personal  problems 
and  injuries,  athletes  was  also  expected  to  do 
well  in  academics.  With  a  hectic  practice 
schedule  and  a  lull-course  load,  they  had  little 
time  lor  a  a  social  life.  Any  free  time  had  to  be 
put  into  study  and  rest.  A  great  deal  more  was 
expected  from  them,  not  only  by  the  coaches 
and  the  public,  but  also  by  professors  and 
academic  advisors.  When  compared  with  the 
average  student,  the  athlete's  time  spent  in  a 
structured  environment  was  almost  doubled. 

The  academic  support  for  service 
intercollegiate  athletics  required  study  hall 
hours  lor  all  athletes  and  provided  tutorial  help 
in  any  subject.  The  study  room  was  located  in 
the  Moore  Athletic  Center  and  was  open  every 
day  of  the  week  with  the  exception  of  Saturday. 


The  tutors  really  know  their  stuff.    The  one  on  one 

with  the  tutor  really  helps  me  feel  more  like  a 

person  than  a  number. 

-Larry  Fleming, 
football  player 


During  the  time  of  recruiting,  the  Academic 
Enhancement  Plan  was  presented  to  the 
student  athlete  and  the  parents. 

It  stated  that  "all  freshman  and 
transfer  students  will  be  required  to  attend 
study  sessions  five  days  per  week,  a  ten  hour 
commitment,  for  the  fall  semester. "  All  athletes 
with  a  cumulative  GPA  of  2.0  or  below,  or  have 
fallen  below  a  2.0  for  the  last  semester  had  this 
same  requirement.  Any  other  requirements 
were  determined  by  the  athlete's  academic 
advisor,  based  upon  his  or  her  progress  and 
career  goals.  All  decisions  were  reviewed  with 
the  respective  coaches. 

"The  tutors  really  know  their  stuff. 
The  one  on  one 
w^ith  the  tutor 
really  helps  me 
learn  the 
material  and 
helps  me  feel 
more  like  a 
person  than  a 
number.  With 
100  -  300  people 
in  a  class  you  feel 
o  ve  rwhel  m  ed 
and  are  not  able  to  ask  questions  when  you  do 
not  understand.  Ho\vever,  with  a  tutor  it  is 
more  personal,  and  I  learn  more,  "  football 
player  Larry  Fleming  said. 

There  were  usually  tw^o  or  three 
students  being  tutored  at  the  same  time  and  the 
students  w^ere  responsible  for  meeting  the 
entire  semester. 

"I  think  the  tutors  help  the  students 
prepare  for  A)  classroom  w^ork  and  B)  testing,  " 
academic  support  director  Nick  Menacoff 
said. 

The  athletes'  response  to  this  program 
was  outstanding.  Suddenly  athletes  were 
motivated  not  only  on  the  playing  field,  but  in 
the  classroom  as  well.  This  type  of  support 
group  changed  the  attitudes  of  both  the 
athletes  and  the  public.  Goals  and  priorities 
had  been  rearranged  to  make  earning  a  degree 
first  and  winning  the  game  second.

America  became  more  health  conscious  in  the  late 
1980  s  and  early  1990's.  People  lost  confidence  in  liquid 
diets  and  other  "get  thin  quick  schemes.  "  College  students 
who  frequently  tried  "miracle  diets"  to  lose  1 0  pounds  before 
spring  break  now  sought  a  healthier  way  to  control  their 
weight.    Thagard  Health  Center  offered  the  Peer  Nutrition 


"The  thinking  is  that  students  will  relate  to  students 
and  open  up  the  discussion  a  little  better,"  Cleveland  said. 
"It  helps  students  to  know^  that  if  other  students  are  teaching 
this  then  maybe  it's  important.  They  become  role  models  to 
their  peers." 

"It's  a  great  program  to  offer.    A  lot  of  guys  are

"They  learn  about  different  techniques  ol  weight  When  their  peers  tell  them  about  what  has  or  has  not 

loss,  what  might  be  harmful  about  it  and  what  is  the  way  to  worked  for  them,  guys  tend  to  believe  them  over  a  doctor  or 


lose  body  fat.  Some  students 
are  interested  in  gaining 
w^eight  and  want  to  know 
the  best  way  to  go  about  it," 
Dr.  Mae  Cleveland,  nutrition 
and  fitness  specialist  at  the 
Health  Center,  said. 

Cleveland 
developed  this  program  in 
the  lall  and  implemented  it  in 
the  spring.  She  offered 
nutritional  counsel  on  an 
individual  basis  but  wanted 

to  reach  more  students  without  requiring  them  to  come  to 
the  health  center.  Residence  halls  as  well  as  sorority  and 
fraternity  groups  were  targeted  for  the  program.

some  authority  figure,  "  EA 
DeCastro,  math  education 
major,  said. 

Several   of  the   topics 

discussed      were     weight 

control,   proper  methods   of 

weight  loss  and  the  amount  ol 

fat  in  the  diet.    Some  dieters 

became   obsessive   in    their 

weight   loss   and   developed 

eating    disorders    such    as 

anorexia  nervosa  and  bulimia. 

Although    the    peer 

educators  were  not  trained  to  handle  these  individuals,  they 

were  aware  ol  the  symptoms  of  eating  disorders.     The 

educators  were  also  knowledgeable  about  the   Health 


An  effective  technique  of  the  program  w^as  its  use  of     Center's  counseling  services  and  referred  troubled  students 
students,  or  peer  educators,  to  disseminate  the  information      to  them, 
to  other  students.    Peer  educators  were  not  required  to  be  ~ 
nutrition  majors,   they  simply  needed  to  be  enthusiastic 


about  learning  the  material  and  teaching  it  to  others. 

Peer  educators  were  given  training  sessions  to 
learn  some  facts  but  most  of  their  information  came  from 
their  own  research.  These  volunteer  students  discovered  a 
problem,  interviewed  someone  in  the  nutritional  department 
and  gathered  their  own  material  to  present  to  groups. 


Peer  educators  distributed  pamphlets  on  specific  subjects 
to  students  with  individual  needs.  For  example,  African 
Americans  had  more  problems  with  high  blood  pressure. 
The  pamphlet  on  this  topic  advised  high  blood  pressure 
victims  to  limit  their  intake  of  salt  and  alcohol.  This  and 
other  pamphlets  allowed  peer  educators  to  answer  more 
individual  questions.

educators  to  present  information.  These  group 
activities  were  beneficial  to  the  educators  as 
well  as  the  students.  Peer  advisers  learned 
teaching  techniques  and  became  comfortable 
with  speaking  to  a  group. 

"Their  enthusiasm  is  real  high  so  that  makes 
it  rewarding  for  everyone,"  Cleveland  said. 

Assisted  by  Dr.  Cleveland,  the  peer 
educators  developed  a  cookbook  for  college 
students.  It  contained  easy  to  make  and 
economically  reasonable  recipes  lull  of 
nutritional  value.  The  cookbook  was  available 
to  students  -who  attended  the  peer  education 


groups  or  visited  with  Dr.  Cleveland. 

"  I  like  to  cook  but  it  can  get  expensive 
when  you  have  to  buy  a  lot  of  ingredients.  The 
recipes  in  this  cookbook  were  simple  but  tasted 
great.  It  also  made  me  feel  good  to  know  I  was 
eating  something  healthy,"  junior  Tiffani 
Pittenger  said. 

Universities  around  the  country  that 
employed  the  peer  education  approach,  like 
this,  were  successful  in  helping  students.  The 
University  used  students  to  relate  to  others 
about  sex  education  so  Cleveland  decided  to 
apply  this  approach  to  nutrition  and  health. 

"It  also  gives  students  Iree  and 
important  information,"  Camela  Coggins, 
media  production  major,  said.

er  State  of  the

'  Dr.  Nancy  Turner  has  been  at  the 

head  of  the  Olglesby  Union  since 
September  oF  1971 .  She  received  her  both 
her  undergraduate  degree  and  her 
doctorate  here. 

In  her  twenty-second  year  at  the 
University  she  was  able  to  look  back  at  the 
changes  and  was  proud.  This  ability  to 
reflect  allowed  her  to  plan  a  future  for  her 


place  at  the  university  that  has  seen  growth 
and  improvement. 

"My  proudest  moment  had  to  have 
been  the  dedication  of  the  Union  expansion 
in  1988.  There  was  eightyears  of  work  that 
went  into  it  from'the  initial  planning  and 
hiring  designers  and  the  construction  of  the 
new  building  that  took  threeyears,"  Turner 
said. 

The  future  of  the  union  only  held 
more  of  the  same:   changes  and  growth. 

"There  is  going  to  be  another 
expansion  beginning  in  the  fall  of  1993. 
Three  million  dollars  was  received  from  the 
Capital  Improvement  Trust  Fund.  It 
should  becorhpleted  by  1995,"  Turner  said. 

The  expansion  will  include  new 
food  facilities  and  will  cater  more  to  the 
students. 

"The  fact  that  the  new  car  garage 
will  be  across  the  street  will  be  an 
advantage.  That  parking  will  bring  more 
people  into  fhe  union  and  we  want 
something  for  those  people,"  Turner  said. 

In  all  the  expansion  and  change 
there  are  some  things  that  Turner  does  not 
want  altered  or  modified. 

"We've  seen  the  union  grow  over 
the  years  with  the  University.  There  is  a 
sense  of  warmth  that  I  don't  want  lost  in  all 
the  construction,  "  Turner  said.  ,

HIV  hit  hcimc  in  Januar\'  when 
Deiin  Theodore  Clevenger  resigned.  He 
wiis  chagnosed  as  HIV-positive  in  1990.  At 
the  beginning  ol  the  year  he  lelt  that  his 
condition  was  getting  in  his  way.  He  was 
sill  lering  only  premature  exhaustion  and  no 
other  symptoms.  He  contracted  the  virus  in 
1984  when  he  received  several  units  ol 
blood  during  lor  prostate  surgery. 

"Ted  Clevenger  has  been  an 
outstanding  dean  who  has  given  excellent, 
dedicated  and  caring  leadership  to  to  the 
College  o  I  Co  m  m  u  n  i  c a  t  i  o  n  lor  17 
years,  "Pro\'OSt  Rc:)berl  Glidden  said. 

William  Haas,  the  assistant  dean  ol 
student  al lairs  lor  the  college,  took  over 
Jan.  15  as  the  acting  dean  until  a  suitable 
replacement  could  be  lound. 

Because  of  the  sensitivity  ol  the 
situation  Clevenger's  attorneys  advisee^  him 
to  keep  a  lt:)w  profile. 

Clevenger  continued  working.  He 
continued  working  on  several  acac^emlc 
papers  emd  a  book;  he  also  continued 
overseeing  the  research  ol  several  graduate 
students.  He  didn't  feel  as  though  he  was 
retiring,  he  felt  as  il  he  were  "reassigning" 
himsell. 

"Not  only  has  Dean  Clevenger 
been  a  valuable  member  ol  our  laculty  since 
1967,  he  earned  his  Ph.D.  From  Florida 
State  in  1958,  so  we  boast  him  as  one  ot  our 
outstanding  alumni.  We  appreciate  Dean 
Clevenger's  yeiirs  ol  service  and  honor  his 
recjuest  to  give  up  the  deanship,  while 
looking  forward  to  his  continued  scholarly 
contributions  to  Florida  State.  Primarily, 
however,  we  want  him  to  guard  his  health 
and  take  care  ot  himself  and  know  that  the 
University  community  is  most  concerned 
for  his  well-being,"  President  Dale  Lick

l\LLl^OLLCJ iJ  we  were  known  as  a  football 
powerhouse,  by  no  means  were  we  a  "one-sport  school.  " 
Nor  did  we  settle  for  second  best.  In  fact,  tor  the  eighth  year 
in  a  row,  the  football  team  won  a  major  bowl  game,  the 
basketball  team  advanced  to  the  "Elite  8"  of  the  NCAA 
tournament,  surpassing  last  year's  Sweet  16  appearance. 
No  other  school  in  history  has  achieved  this  feat  in  these 
three  sports  for  two  consecutive  years.  The  Lady  Seminole 
Softball  team  also  made  it  to  the  World  Series  for  the  fourth 
consecutive  year. 

But  there's  more  to  Florida  State  athletics  than  the 
high  profile  sports  and  scholarship  athletes.  Club  teams, 
supported  by  the  student  members,  traveled  to  other  schools 
and  competed  as  well.  For  example,  the  women's  rugby  club 
established  themselves  as  on  of  the  nation's  best. 
Intramurals  gave  all  students  the  opportunity  for  recreation 
and  competition  in  a  variety  of  sports.  So,  whether  you  had 
a  starting  position  on  a  Seminole  team,  or  a  member  of  an 
intramural  squad,  or  were  one  of  the  tomahawk-choppin', 
die-hard  fans  v^ho  packed  Doak  Campbell,  Dick  Howser,  or 
the  Civic  Center,  the  Florida  State  University  athletic 
tradition  gave  you  jomethLug  to  budd  on.

what  a  difference  one 
year  makes.  In  August 
1991,  the  Florida  State 
Seminoles  headed  into  the 
season  as  everyone's 
number  one  team.  Go  to 
August  1992.  The  Tribe 
started  as  high  as  #2  in 
some  polls,  as  low  as  #9  in 
others.  But  it  wasn't  the 
polls  causing  the 
excitement  for  the  team,  it 
was  their  debut  in  the 
Atlantic  Coast 
Conference,  and  the 
expectation  that  they 
would  -win  the  ACC  title. 

Was  Coach  Bobby 
Bowden  grateful  for 
having  the  #1  pressure  off 
his  shoulders?  "We  can 
certainly  live  without  it. 
Being  number  one  just 
makes  things  more 
difficult.  I  try  not  to  worry 
about  the  polls  before  and 
during  the  season,  because 
the  Jan.  2  poll  is  the  only 
one  that  matters,  "  Bowden 
said. 

The  team  faced  a  full 
ACC  schedule,  starting 
\vith   Duke  at  home  and 


traveling  to  Clemson's 
Death  Valley  the  following 
Saturday.  Spectators 
called  the  Florida  State- 
Clemson  matchup  as  the 
key  ACC  game  of  the 
season.  However,  Bowden 
w^asn't  underestimating 
the  other  ACC  teams.  "We 
face  N.C.  State  the  week 
after  Clemson  and  that  will 
be  a  tough  game.  All  of  the 
teams  in  the  league  are 
improving.  We  could  get 
beat  if  we  don't  stay 
focused.  "  In  addition  to 
the  ACC  schools,  the  Tribe 
also  faced  the  traditional 
rivals  Aliami  and  Florida, 
both  of  whom  also  started 
the  season  ranked  in  the 
top  10. 

Although  they  were  just 
as  talented,  this  team  had  a 
different  look  from  the 
previous  season.  Junior 
two-sport  standout 
Charlie  Ward  took  over  as 
starting  quarterback. 
Linebacker  Marvin  Jones 
was  a  pre-season  All- 
American  candidate.  Fans 
expected  to  see  quite  a  bit 


of  the  past  years  freshmen 
stars.  Derrick  Brooks  and 
Marquette  Smith.  Smith, 
however,  decided  to 
redshirt  this  season. 
According  to  Bowden, 
"Marquette  wanted  to 
attend  graduate  school  and 
wants  to  have  his 
scholarship  available  for 
that.  "  Bowden  was  also 
pleased  with  the  new 
freshman  class,  which 
included  quarterback 
Danny  Kanell  and  wide 
receiver  Tamarick 
Vanover,  \vho  were  both 
expected  to  play  this 
season. 

Another  new  aspect  of 
Seminole  football  was  the 
construction  of  the  ne\v 
University  Center.  This 
would  enclose  the  south 
endzone  of  Doak 
Campbell  stadium  and  in- 
crease capacity  to  70,000. 
Although  the  entire 
project  would  take  about 
four  years,  one  of  the  im- 
mediate benefits  was  a  new 
hi-tech  scoreboard,  the 
biggest  in  the  state.

Duke  Blue  Devils. 
Ho'wever,  the  quality 
and  consistency  of  pla\' 
left  many  tans 
questioning  the  team's 
ability.  Coach  Bowden 
said,  "Inconsistency 
and  penalties  (16  for 
118  yards)  -were  our 
biggest  problems.  But 
there  were  bright 
spots.  Marvin  Jones 
and  Leon  Fowler 
emerged  as  defensive 
leaders.  Jones  led  the 
team  in  tackles  and 
Fowler  had  two 
interceptions, 
including  a  95-yard

Dan  Mowrey  went  2-3

Senior  inside  linebacker  Ken  Alexander  realized 
the  importance  of  student  in  ^^t^tiident-athlete^^ 


Not  only  did  Ken  Alexander  lead  the 
defense  on  the  field,  he  led  the  team  with 
a  3.3  grade  point  average  in  the 
classroom.  As  a  senior  in  academics, 
Alexander  reached  to  be  the  best  at 
whatever  task  he  attempted. 
After  taking  the  SAT  exam,  Alexander 
thought  it 

was  extremely  biased  lor 
the  Afro-American 
minority,  so  he  set  out  to 
devise  a  plan  to  help 
better  prepare  the  young 
adults.  He  and  his  sister, 
Leslie,  began  a  SAT 
preparation  course  for 
minority  students  in  her 
church  in  the  summer. 
The  six  week  prep  course 
was  a  strategic  tactic  to 
help  students  with  the 
wording  ol  the  questions 
in  a  language  that  the 
student  could 
understand.  The  course 
was  also  planned  to  instill 
confidence  within  the 
student. 

"Without  confidence  it 
is  hard  to  accomplish 
anything,"  Alexander 
said. 

Alexander  told  the 
success  story  ol  a  lootball  player  at 
Reagan  High  School  who  saw  a  great 
improvement  on  his  test  score  alter 
completing  the  prep  course. 

"Michael  Belle  called  to  thank  me  lor 
the  prep  course  because  his  score 
improved  200  points  on  the  math  section 
and  350  on  the   English  section.     This

made  me  feel  like  I  had  accomplished  the 
goal  I  had  set  out  for,"  Alexander  said. 

This  SAT  prep  course  earned 
Alexander  the  Toyota  Leadership  Award 
which  was  based  on  academic  excellence 
and  achievements. 

"A  lot  ol  people  ask  you,  '  Well,  you  are 
doing  all  this  and  you  are  doing  all  that, 
how  can  you  not  have  a  big  head?" 
Alexander  said.  "Coming  from  a  family  of 
thirteen,  with  seven  brothers  and  six 
sisters,  you  get  credit  for  what  you  do.  If 
you  save  the  world,  they  say  'OK,  good, 
you  saved  the  world.'  Then  you're  back  to 
the  same  Ken  Alexander  beforeyou  saved 
the  world." 

Organizing  his  schedule  around 
football,  fun  and  finals,  Alexander 
applied  a  fundamental  concept  taught  by 
his  mom. 

"If  I  have  a  paper  to  write  and  I  have 
been  invited  to  a  party,  I  must  write  half  ol 
the  paper.  Then  I  let  myself  go  to  the 
party,  "  Alexander  said.  "But  I  come 
home  early  so  I  can  finish  the  rest  ol  the 
paper.  " 

When  Alexander  thought  of  a  hero, 
ideal  or  role  model  it  was  always  the  same 
person  —  his  mom. 

"I  have  the  most  respect  for  my  mom 
because  she  raised  13  kids  by  herself.  She 
has  had  to  go  through  a  lot  and  she  has 
always  came  out  on  top.  "  Alexander  said. 
"When  I  am  on  the  field  and  I  see  four 
guys  coming  at  me  and  I  know  I  ve  got  to 
make  a  hole,  I  just  think  back  on  my  mom, 
because  I  kno-w  there  is  nothing  that  I  can 
go  through  that  my  mom  has  not  had  to  go 
through  and  she  has  always  persevered. 
So  I  can  make  the  tackle  and  overcome 
any  obstacle  because  of  my  mom.  "

Ml  Wi 


Kick-affd  became  touchdowns  when  true  fresh- 
man Tamarick  Vanover  was  on  the  return 


Not  many  freshman  got  the  chance  to 
make  an  impact  during  their  first  season 
of  college  football,  especially  at  a  football 
powerhouse  such  as  Florida  State.  It 
freshman  were  not  redshirted,  they 
usually  spent  their  first  season  behind  the 
upperclassmen  on  the  depth  chart.  Every 
once  in  a  while,  however,  a  freshman  came 
along  that  wowed  everyone.  Lawrence 
Dawsey  was  one  of  those;  Marvin  Jones 
did  it  in  1990;  and  1992  was  the  season  for 
Tamarick  Vanover. 

Florida  State  almost  did  not  get  the 
talented  Tamarick.  Both  the  Seminoles 
and  Miami  heavily  recruited  the  Leon 
High  standout.  ITe  did  not  decide  until 
the  morning  of  signing  day,  and  even 
signed  his  letter  of  intent  with  Florida 
State  wearing  a  Miami  baseball  cap. 

Tamarick's  best  memory  of  the  season 
was  his  first  start  versus  N.C.  State.  With 
five  minutes  left  in  the  first  half,  Charlie 
Ward  had  not  completed  a  pass.  Then  the 
Ward-Vanover  connection  hit.  Vanover 
caught  three  passes  in  a  row,  including  a 
60-yard  bomb  tor  a  touchdown,  his  first  in 
college.  "Charlie  came  into  the  huddle  at 
the  beginning  of  the  series  and  said, 
'Fellas,  it's  time  to  go.'  I  said  to  myself,  if 
we  can  complete  one  pass  we  11  get  rolling. 
Charlie  began  to  look  tor  me  and  I  was  just 
catching  the  ball,  "  Vanover  said. 

In  the  weeks  following  the  N.C.  State 
game,  Vanover's  exposure  increased. 
Against  Wake  Forest  and  Miami,  he 
returned  his  first  two  college  kickotfs  tor 
touchdowns,  running  96yards  against  the 
Demon  Deacons  and  94  yards  against  the 
Hurricanes.  The  Florida  Gators 
obviously  did  not  take  warning  as  they 
kicked  off  to  him  twice  and  watched  him 

Stretching  Out 

With  N.C.  State  defenders 
Loren  Pinkney  (97)  and 
Dewayne  Washington  (20)  in 
hot  pursuit,  tailback  Sean  Jack- 
son stretches  to  gain  a  couple 
more  yards  and  the  first  dovvoi. 
Jackson  had  101  yards  on  12 
carries  for  the  day.  Photo  by

run  80  and  76  yards. 

Vanover    credits    fellow    receiver 
Shannon  Baker  and  receivers  coach  John 
Eason    as    his    greatest    influences    in 
football.    "Coach  Eason  takes  time  with 
his  players  to  get  to  know  them.     I  had 
already  known  Shannon  for  a  couple  o 
years  and  when  I  came  to 
school  here,  he  showed  me 
the  ropes." 

When  you  are  a  receiver 
on  a  team  that  boasts  other 
great  receivers  such  as 
Baker,  Kevin  Knox,  Kez 
McCorvey  and  Matt 
Frier,  how  do  you  handle 
competition  among 
teammates?  Vanover  said, 
"I  really  don't  think  about 
the  competition,  it  just 
makes  me  work  harder.  " 

The  freshman  was 
remembered  when  post- 
season honors  were 
handed  out.  He  was 
awarded  the  ACC  Rookie 
of  the  Year  and  Football 
Ne»\i  Freshman  of  the 
Year  titles.  He  was  named 
an  All-American  Kick 
Returner  by  two  sources 
and  was  ACC  Rookie  of 
the  Week  five  times. 

Vanover  knew  how  hard  it  was  to 
choose  a  college,  so  what  would  he  tell 
recruits  trying  to  make  that  same  difficult 
decision?  "I  would  tell  them  about  the 
success  we  had  with  the  shotgun  this  past 
season,  remind  them  that  we  ranked 
higher  than  Florida  and  Miami  and  that 
next  season  we're  playing  to  win  it  all.  "

For  the  second  ACC 
road  trip  of  the  season, 
the  Tribe  faced  the 
Wolfpack  in  Raleigh. 
The  offense  struggled 
early  as  Charlie  Ward 
had  zero  completions 
^A'lth  five  minutes  left  to 
go  m  the  first  half.  But 
he  hit  the  next  seven  of 
eight  for  150  yards. 
Tamarick  Vanover 
started  the  Seminole 
scoring  with  a  60-yard 
reception  for  a  TD. 
Shannon  Baker  also 
caught  two  passes  for 
touchdowns. 
Tailbacks  Sean 
Jackson  and  Tiger 
McMillon  had  good 
games,  rushing  lor  101 
and  92  yards.  It  was 
McMillon 's  first  career 
start.  Dan  Mowrey 
kicked  a  career  best  42- 
yard  field  goal,  and 
Corey  Sawyer 
intercepted  three 
passes,  tying  an  FSU 
record.  The  defense 
held  N.C.  State  to  two 
held  goals  and  one  TD. 


Moms  and  Dads 
came  out  for  the  annual 
Parents  Weekend  as 
the  Seminoles  hosted 
the  Demon  Deacons. 
The  highly  favored 
Tribe  saw  the  receivers 
and  rushers  improve 
their  stats.  Despite 
fumbling  the  ball  four 
times,  the  offense 
managed  to  rack  up 
points  against  the 
Wake  defense.  Charlie 
Ward  celebrated  his 
first  interception-free 
game  by  throwing  for 
240  yards  and  1  TD. 
Freshman  Tamarick 
Vanover  emerged  as 
the  player  to  beat, 
scoring  on  a  96-yard 
kickoff  return.  The 
kicking  game 
struggled  as  Dan 
Mowrey  missed  two 
field  goals  and  John 
Wimberly  averaged 
33.2  yards  on  punts. 
However,  coach 
Bowden  said,  "I  was 
pretty  pleased. ..except 
for  some  penalties  and 
inconsistency." 


"I've  put  pressure 
on  myself  to 
make  the  big 
plays.   Today,  I 
didn't  worry 
about  it.  If  the

Ankle,  shoulder  and  knee  injuries  were  jiut  part 
of  the  game  for  center  Robbie  Baker 


Some  people  did  not  understand  why 

grown  men  would  willingly  participate  in 

such  a  violent  sport  as  football.   Athletes 

and  sports  enthusiasts  stated  it  was  the 

ove  of  the  game.  "   Others  believed  it  to 

be  stupidity.      Center  Robbie  Baker,  an 

expert    on    this    particular   question, 

claimed  it  was  a  little  of 

both. 

A    filih-year    senior, 

Baker      had      more 

opportunities    to    think 

about  that    question  than 

he  cared  to  recall.    Baker 

Jif  played   football   for   nine 

,5n%iHHP#  years   with    no    injuries 

^HR  before  coming  to  college. 

"^^  However,  by  the  end  of  his 

^  filth   season.    Baker   had 

^P  undergone   six   surgeries. 

HK         Four  were   tor   his   right 

shoulder  and  one  was  for 

his    right    ankle.       The 

surgery   that    blemished 

Baker's  final  season  was 

on  his  knee. 

Baker's   left   knee  was 
injured   during  a   two-a- 
day    practice    in    early 
August.     Initially,   Baker 
and  the  team  doctor  chose 
to  work  with  the  knee  and 
hoped  time  would  heal  it. 
When  he  made  it  back  lor  the  third  game 
against    Clemson,    it    appeared    the 
prognosis  had  been  correct. 

Unfortunately,  appearances  were 
deceiving.  During  the  game,  the  knee 
continuously  swelled  up  and  was  hit.  The 
next  weekend,  instead  of  playing  in  the 
N.C.  State  game.  Baker  w^as  in  surgery  to 


remove  a  bone  chip,  shave  the  knee  cap 
down  and  take  out  pinched  tissue. 
Incredibly,  he  was  back  playing  just  two 
weeks  later. 

"I  had  no  choice,  it  was  my  last  season. 
It  was  a  combination  of  stubbornness, 
stupidity  and  love  of  the  game,  "  Baker 
said. 

However  there  was  more  involved  than 
physical  pain.  After  the  1991  season, 
Baker  had  the  final  surgery  to  reconstruct 
his  right  shoulder.  After  working  for 
months  to  get  the  shoulder  as  strong  as  it 
had  been,  the  knee  injury  was  traumatic. 
"  I  worked  so  hard  to  get  back  and  then  all 
of  a  sudden  to  have  everything  taken 
away,  it  killed  me  mentally,  '  Baker  said. 

But  once  again  injuries  could  not  keep 
Baker  from  playing  football.  As  proven 
by  the  number  of  times  he  had  returned 
from  surgeries  and  by  playing  the  entire 
1991  season  injured,  the  combination  of 
the  love  for  the  game  and  "stupidity  "  went 
a  long  way  in  overcoming  setbacks.  After 
the  knee  surgery,  Baker's  goal  was  to  play 
in  the  Miami  game,  an  unlikely  possibility 
considering  he  had  just  two  weeks  to  gain 
the  strength  in  his  knee  back.  How^ever, 
nothing  made  Baker  forget  the  pain  like 
"the  big  game  "  and  he  was  cleared  to  play. 
"In  all  reality,  I  should  have  waited.  I 
did  not  even  know  how  strong  my  knee 
was  for  that  game  because  I  w^as  afraid 
they  would  not  allow  me  to  play.  I  had 
made  up  my  mind  that  playing  Miami  was 
something  I  had  to  do  ,"  Baker  said. 

Some  thought  coming  back  so  soon  was 
irrational  or  stupid.  Others,  though,  saw 
and  appreciated  the  reasoning  behind 
Robbie  Baker's  actions. ..simply  the  love 
of  the  game.

Football  105 


Waik-oru  rarely  daw  the  dpotUght,  but  were  an 
important  part  of  the  Seminole  football  team 


Football  included  the  glory  of  cheering 
fans,  the  road  trips  to  away  games,  the 
hard  work  in  practice  and  lots  of  hits, 
bruises  and  pain;  but  then  one  considered 
those  football  players  went  to  school  on 
full  scholarship. 

However,  this  was  not  the  case  for  all 
football  players.  Some  students  came  to 
Florida  State  to  w^alk-on  and  tried  out  for 
a  position  on  the  team.  This  did  not 
necessarily  mean  that  they  would  have  a 
chance  to  play,  but  most  were  willing  to 
strive  for  their  shot  at  glory. 

The  walk-on  players  were  just  like 
regular  students.  They  paid  for  their  own 
room,  board,  tuition  and  books  as  well  as 
physicals  in  order  to  play  and  insurance  in 
case  they  got  hurt.  They  also  did  not  get 
to  travel  to  all  the  road  games.  But  they 
worked  just  as  hard  as  the  scholarship 
players,  if  not  harder,  because  they  had 
something  to  prove.  If  they  worked  hard 
and  showed  improvement,  sometimes 
walk-ons  were  offered  scholarships. 
Through  hard  hits  on  defense,  smooth 
catches  on  offense  and  fast  feet  on  both, 
they  had  to  prove  that  they  deserved  a 
chance  to  be  in  the  "show." 

Why  would  someone  work  so  hard  for 
no  glory?  It  seemed  like  a  large  sacrifice 
for  something  which  Webster  described 
as  "a  game  played  between  two  teams  on 
a  rectangular  held,  having  two  goal  posts 
at  each  end,  whose  object  is  to  get  the  ball 
over  a  goal  line  or  between  goal  post  by 
running,  passing  or  kicking." 

For  the  players,  both  walk-on  and 
scholarship,  however,  football  was  much 
more. 

"To  me,  football  is  a  contact  sport.  To 
play   requires   an   athlete   to   be   in   top 

Firdt,  Grab  the  Ball...

physical  condition.     It  takes  motivation, 
dedication  and  a  love  for  the  sport  to  be 
successful,"     Todd   Fordham,   freshman 
offensive  tackle  scholarship  player,  said. 
For  a  walk-on  player  who  had  to  try 
out  to  make  the  team,  football  meant  no 
less.  Those  special  players 
had   such   a  love   for  the 
sport,  it  did  not  matter  that 
they    paid    for    school. 
What  did  matter  was  that 
they  might  get  a  chance  to 
play  in   front  of  66,000+ 
people. 

"Football  is  a  stress 
reliever.  You  can't  think 
of  anything  else  while  you 
are  out  there  or  you  11  get 
hurt,"  sophomore  outside 
linebacker  David  Walker 
said.  "As  a  scholarship 
player  you  have  a  better 
chance  at  playing  and  all 
of  us  walk-on  players  are 
always  hoping  for  a 
scholarship.  But  I  am 
playing  for  the  fun  of  it.  If 
it  stopped  being  fun  I'd 
quit,  scholarship  or  not.  " 
The  football  players, 
both  walk-on  and 
scholarship,  were  both 
working  toward  the  same  goal. ..winning 
football  games. 

"I  respect  all  walk-on  players.  Being  a 
scholarship  player  I  go  to  school  free,  live 
free,  eat  free  and  get  benefits  that  the\' 
don't  receive.  The  scholarship  players 
have  more  of  a  chance  to  prove 
themselves,"  Larry  Fleming,  split  guard, 
said.

The  Seminoles 
traveled  to  Atlanta  and 
faced  a  tough  Yellow 
Jacket  team  as  they  led 
only  7-6  at  halftime. 

Tech  came  out  strong 
in  the  second  half  and 
scored  17  unanswered 
points.  Then  the  offense 
staged  their  greatest 
comeback  of  the  season. 
Ward's  receivers 
completed  four  passes  in 
a  row,  and  scored  on  a  1  - 
yard  run  by  William 
Floyd.  GT  responded 
with  another  field  goal. 
Ward  scored  on  a  run  to 
come  within  A  points  of 
tying.  With  3:16  left  in 
the  game,  Corey  Sawyer 
recovered  Dan 
Mowrey's  onside  kick  to 
give  the  Tribe  one  last 
chance  to  win,  and  Kez 
McCorvey  scored  a 
touchdown.  When  Tech 
got  the  ball  back,  FSU 
added  insult  to  the 
comeback  by  sacking 
Shawn  Jones  in  the 
endzone  lor  a  safety  and 
2  more  points.

The  Seminoles 
grabbed  their  first  ACC 
football  title  as  they 
defeated  Virginia  up  in 
Charlottesville. 
Largely  a  defensive 
effort,  the  team  played 
without  the  injured 
Marvin  Jones  and  held 
the  Cavalier  defense  to 
195  yards  and  snagged 
two  interceptions.  Kez 
McCorvey  led  the 
offense  with  138  yards 
rushing,  and 
touchdowns  were 
scored  by  Charlie  Ward 
(16-yard  run)  and 
Tamarick  Vanover  (27- 
yard  pass). 

The  win  assured  the 
Tribe  of  a  New  Year's 
Day  bowl  game.  The 
players  also  got  to  make 
good  on  another  deal. 
In  August,  running

won  the  ACC,  he  would 
let  them  shave  his  head. 
So  after  the  game,  in

After  enormoiu  ^uccedd  cu  a  Seminole^ 
Marvin  Jonct^  plans  to  tackle  the  NFL 


The  end  of  the  season  also  marked  the 
end  of  an  illustrious  college  career  for 
junior  linebacker  Marvin  Jones. 

"There's  no  question,  Marvin  is  unique. 

In   my   honest   opinion,   he   is   the   best 

Inebacker    in    America,"   linebackers 

coach  Wally  Burnham  said.   "Some  guys 

look  throughyou,  like  kids 

do    to    teachers    in    the 

classroom.    Marvin  soaks 

up    everything    like    a 

sponge.        It    may    be 

something   I've   said    100 

times,  yet  Marvin    listens 

every  time.  " 

Jones  ranked  seventh  on 
the  school's  all-time  list 
with  369  tackles  in  three 
seasons.  Jones  was  only 
18  when  he  earned  the 
starting  linebacker  job  and 
the  nickname  "Shadetree" 
(because  the  heat 
overwhelmed  him  the  first 
day  ol  practice).  With  a 
4.5  second  40-yard  dash 
and  38.5  inch  vertical  leap 
(a  team  best),  it  was  clear 
why  he  started  every  game 
but  one. 

Straight  out  ot  Miami 
Northwestern  High, 
Jones  set  a  Seminole 
record  for  freshmen  with  133  tackles.  "As 
a  freshmen,  I  was  more  of  a  wildman.  I 
probably  could've  had  180  tackles  had  I 
played  under  control,"  Jones  said. 

Jones  developed  a  great  deal  since  that 
season.  In  1991,  he  finished  with  75  solo 
tackles,  125  overall.  His  junior  year,  he 
led  the  team  with  1 1 1  tackles,  despite  a 
severe  ankle  strain  during  the  season. 


Jones  captured  the  Lombard)  Award, 
given  to  the  country's  top  lineman.  "I  wish 
I  could  break  this  into  1 1  pieces  and  give 
one  to  each  ot  my  teammates,  "  Jones  said. 
'You  can't  be  a  great  linebacker  without 
great  lineman.  "  Jones  also  received  the 
Butkus  award,  given  annually  to  college 
football's  premier  linebacker.  He  placed 
fourth  in  the  Heisman  race,  was  The 
Sporting  News  Player  of  the  Year  and 
one  of  two  players  to  repeat  as  consensus 
All-Americans. 

"I  like  to  get  big  hits  because  it  changes 
an  opponent's  mind.  You  put  a  big  hit  on 
a  guy  early  in  a  game,  and  let  him  know, 
'this  is  how  it's  going  to  be  all  day, '  and  he 
might  as  well  put  on  an  FSU  jersey.  He's 
ours,  "  Jones  said. 

Against  UF  running  back  Errict  Rhett, 
Jones  said,  "He  got  around  me  early  and 
said  something  like  he  can't  be  stopped. 
But  see,  I  was  still  a  little  rusty.  I  got  some 
WD-40,  warmed  up  and  turned  out  his 
lights.  He  doesn't  know,  but  I  eat  running 
backs  with  ketchup." 

Jones  was  influenced  by  his  older 
brother  Fred,  a  former  FSU  football 
player.  "He's  very  supportive,"  Jones 
said.  'He's  like  a  father  figure.  We  talk 
constantly,  he's  an  irreplaceable  person." 

After  the  Orange  Bowl,  Jones  declared 
his  eligibility  for  the  NFL  draft.  With  his 
impressive  record,  Jones  was  almost 
assured  of  a  first  round  pick. 

"When  I  first  got  here,  I  thought  he'd  be 
up  on  himself  but  then  I  got  to  know  him," 
inside  linebacker  Henri  Crockett  said. 
"  He  always  took  extra  time  to  help  me.  He 
even  wanted  the  freshmen  to  hang  with 
him.  He  has  proven  himself  on  the  college 
level,  it's  time  for  him  to  prove  himself  in 
the  pros." 

One  of  Many  TD'^ 

The  Seminole's  last  ACC  game 
of  the  season  against  the  Mary- 
land Terrapins  proved  to  be  a 
one-sided,  high-scoring  battle. 
Here,  William  Floyd  scores  six 
of  the  team's  69  points,  while 
teammate  Robbie  Baker  helps 
block.

Once  again,  the  Seminole^  prove  that  they  may 
be  the  country  ly  be^^t  team  in  podt-dea^on 


Jan.  2:  "You  know,  Florida  State  may 
be  the  best  team  in  the  country  right  no'w. " 
This  became  a  tamihar  statement  as  the 
Seminoles  ranked  #2  in  the  polls, 
extending  their  streak  of  top-4  finishes  to 
six  years.  They  finished  behind  Alabama, 
^vho  upset  Miami  in  the  Sugar  Bo-wl. 
Miami,  the  only  tarnish  on  the  Tribe's  11- 
1  record,  ranked  #3. 

No  one  could  argue  the  Seminoles'  post- 
season success.  The  team  remained 
undefeated  in  bowl  games  since  1982. 
With  the  Orange  Bo-wl  ^vin  over 
Nebraska,  they  possessed  a  winner's 
trophy  from  every  major  bowl  except  the 
Rose.  A  fifth-year  senior  won  53  of  61 
games,  five  bowls,  and  finished  every 
season  during  his  career  ranked  in  the 
nation's  top  four. 

While  players,  coaches,  and  fans  were 
pleased  with  the  season,  some  expressed 
frustration  at  al'ways  coming  close  to  a 
national  championship.  Without  Miami 
on  the  schedule,  the  team  would  have  ^von 
every  game  in  1987,  '88  and  '92.  Charlie 
Ward  said,  "Take  Miami  off  our  schedule, 
we're  undefeated.  But  we're  not  going  to 
do  that." 

The  ACC  championship  highlighted  the 
season.  The  Tribe  tore  through  all 
conference  opponents  in  their  first  ACC 
season.  This  included  come-from-behind 
victories  at  Clemson  and  Georgia  Tech 
and  convincing  home  wins  over  Duke, 
Wake  Forest,  and  Maryland. 

Once  again,  Seminoles  garnered  many 
honors  and  awards.  The  most  celebrated 
player,  junior  linebacker  Marvin  Jones, 
won  the  Lombardi  and  Butkus  awards, 
was  Sporting  News  Player  of  the  Year,  a 
two-time   consenus   All-American  and

finished  fourth  in  the  Heisman  race.  Not 
a  surprise,  Jones  headed  for  the  NFL. 
Quarterback  Charlie  Ward  overcame  a 
slow  start  and  became  ACC  Player  of  the 
Year  and  sixth  in  Heisman  voting.  His 
name  came  up  often  as  a  front-runner  for 
next  year's  trophy. 

Freshman  Tamarick 
Vanover  made  headlines 
by  returning  his  first  two 
kickoffs  tor  TDs,  earning 
All-American  status  in 
addition  to  Football  News 
and  ACC  Rookie  of  the 
Year  titles. 

Other  honorees  included 
Derrick  Brooks,  Patrick 
McNeil,  and  Corey 
Sawyer,  who  -were  named 
to  the  sophomore  All- 
American  team. 
Defensive  tackle  Dan 
Footman  won  the  Brian 
Piccolo  Award  for  the 
ACC's  most  courageous 
player.  Footman 
sustained  a  serious  knee 
injury,  underwent 
reconstructive  surgery, 
and  had  65  tackles  for  the 
season. 

Finishing  the  season  with 
such  a  flourish,  speculations  started  early 
about  next  season.  Many  put  the 
Seminoles  as  preseason  #1,  and  why  not? 
Most  top  players  returned,  and  the  Tribe 
recruited  one  of  the  nation's  best 
freshman  classes.  They  could  prove  it 
with  w^ins  in  their  tough  schedule:  the 
ACC,  in-state  foes  Miami  and  Florida, 
and  Notre  Dame.

Probably  the  best 
argument  tor  the 
shotgun  offense  this 
season,  the  Seminoles 
demolished  the  Florida 
Gators.  The  Tribe 
gained  471  yards,  278 
coming  in  the  first  half. 
Passing  accounted  tor 
331  yards,  as  Ward 
completed  27  of  A7 
attempts  and  no  sacks. 
On  the  receiving  end, 
Kevin  Knox  had  a 
stellar  day,  catching  1 1 
passes  for  123  yards. 
Along  with  70  yards 
rushing.  Ward  broke 
the  single-season 
record  for  offense  with 
3,151  yards. 

In  an  ironic  twist, 
Seminole  fans  and 
players  found 
themselves  rooting  for 
the  Gators,  who  played 
Alabama  in  the  St^C 
championship  game  the 
next  week.  A  UF  win 
would  set  up  a  rematch 
between  the  Seminoles

Although  torrential! 
rain  and  the  1-2  Sugar  I

prevented  a  record- 
breaking  Orange  Bowl, 
the  game  went  down  in  I 
the  books  as  FSU'sl 
eighth  straight  bowll 
win.

Improvement  =  Success. 
According  to  the  Lady 
Seminole  volleyball  squad, 
this  equation  held  true. 
Breaking  school  records, 
boosting  individual  stats, 
high  finishes  in 
tournaments  and  winning 
more  games  than  not  were 
some  highlights  of  a  season 
of  great  improvement.  In 
addition  to  success, 
improvement  resulted  in 
many  honors  as  well. 

The  volleyball  season 
began  with  the  Gator 
Invitational  in  Gainesville. 
The  Lady  Noles  finished 
second  behind  the  Gators. 
The  team  played  in  four 
other  regular  season 
tournaments,  winning 
their  own  Florida  State 
Classic,  the  South  Florida 
Invitational  in  Tampa,  and 
the  Hofstra  Invitational  in 
Hempsted,  New  York. 
They  placed  third  in  the 
Golden  Dome  Classic  at 
Notre  Dame.  With  a  24-6 
regular  season  record,  the 
squad  arrived  at  the  ACC 
Tournament  tied  with 
Duke  atop  the  conference. 
After  defeating  Virginia 
and  Maryland  in  the  first 
rounds,  the  team  lost  a 
five-game    heartbreaker 


against  the  Blue  Devils  in 
the  championship  match. 
But  they  were  not  through 
yet.  They  received  an 
invitation  to  the  NCAA 
Tournament  and  played 
UF  in  the  first  round. 
Ironically,  Florida  State's 
season  ended  just  as  it 
began,  with  a  loss  at  the 
hands  ol  the  Lady  Gators. 
The  Seminoles'  26-8 
record  \vas  definitely  a 
marked  improvement  over 
the  16-15  record  of  1991. 
It  did  not  go  unnoticed. 
They  finished  the  season 
ranked  8th  in  the  South 
Region. 

Two  seniors  played 
instrumental  roles  in  the 
squad's  success.  Bianca 
Stevens  finished  a  four- 
year  career  with  honors  as 
she  was  named  to  the  All- 
Tournament  Team  at  the 
Golden  Dome  Classic,  the 
Hofstra  Invitational,  and 
the  ACC  Tournament. 
She  was  also  listed  on  the 
AU-ACC  team  for  the 
season.  Sherry  Cowling,  a 
transfer  student,  played 
only  one  season  for  FSU 
but  made  her  name  known 
during  that  time.  She  was 
on  the  All-Tournament 
teams    at     UF,     USF, 


Hofstra,  and  ACC,  and 
also  made  the  All-ACC 
team.  Academically,  she 
scored  high,  appearing  on 
the  GTE  All-America 
volleyball  third  team. 

There  were  not  just 
seniors  in  the  spotlight, 
however.  Sophomore 
Luiza  Ramos  was  MVP  at 
both  the  USF  and  Hofstra 
Invitationals,  and  made 
the  All-Tournament  teams 
at  UF,  Notre  Dame  and 
the  ACC.  Ramos  also 
made  2nd-team  All-ACC. 
Junior  Vicki  Zinkil, 
whose  name  already 
appeared  in  the  record 
books,  improved  her 
standings  by  moving  to 
second  in  all-time  solo 
blocks,  fourth  all-time  in 
block  assists  and  fifth  in 
career  total  blocks.  Head 
Coach  Cecile  Reynaud 
received  the  honor  of  ACC 
Coach  of  the  Year. 

Team  statistics  also 
improved.  In  1991,  the 
record  of  matches  played 
atTullyGymwas8-7.  This 
season  they  improved  that 
home  record  to  11-2.  In 
five-game  matches,  the 
team  advanced  from  a  1-8 
record  in  1991  to  5-3  in  the 
1992  season.

"They  have  worked 
hard.  Now  they  will 
get  a  chance  to  show 
what  they  can  do.  " 
Coach  Cecile  Raynaud 
said  ot  her  volleyball 
team  before  the 
Atlantic  Coast 
Conference  post- 
season  tournament. 

With  a  6-1  conference 
record,  they  entered 
the  tournament 

seeded  second  behind 
Duke.  The  Blue 
Devils  had  the  same 
record,  but  gained  the 
top  position  by 
defeating  the  Lady 
Seminoles  during  the 
season. 

The  squad's  first 
game  was  an  easy 
defeat  over  the 
Virginia  Cavaliers  in 
three  games:  15-7,  15- 
3,  15-4.  In  the 
semifinals  they  faced 
iMaryland.  A  five- 
game,  come-from- 
behind  win  over  the 
Terrapins  set  up  the  1- 
2  championship  match 
against  Duke. 

After  falling  9-15  in 
the  first  game,  the 
Seminoles  took  the 
next  two,  but  then 
dropped  the  last  two 
sets  with  identical  11- 
15  scores.  Luiza 
Ramos  and  Deanna 
Bosschaert  had  career- 
high  numbers  of  kills, 
with  23  and  26 
respectively. 
Bosschaert  also  had  a 
career-high  62  attacks, 
while  Sherry  Cowling 
chalked  up  74  assists. 

Based  on  their  strong 
showing  in  the 
tournament.  Cowling, 
Ramos,  and  Bianca 
Stevens  were  named  to 
the  All-Tournament 
team.  Reynaud 
received  ACC  Coach 
of  the  Year  honors.

sherry  Cowling  returns  to  Florida  and  experi- 
ence*^ a  duccet^dful  senior  year  a^  a  Seminole 


Realizing  that  the  student  portion  ot 
the  "student-athlete"  was  just  as 
important  as  the  latter  portion,  Sherry 
Cowling,  a  talented  setter  for  the 
volleyball  team,  left  Syracuse  University. 
"Overall  the  program  changed  and 
lost  sight  of  what  a  student-athlete  was,  " 
Cowling  said.  "You  need  a 
good  balance  because 
there  are  not  too  many 
careers  in  volleyball  if  you 
sacrifice  your  education." 
Feeling  strongly  on 
this  matter,  the  Miami 
native  returned  home  to 
Florida.  She    then 

enrolled  in  the  Florida 
International  University 
and  assisted  in  coaching 
the  school's  volleyball 
team.  It  w^as  there  that 
Cowling  recaptured  her 
love  of  volleyball. 

"I    didn't    touch    a 

^^        volleyball  for  six  months 

f     1^1       after   I   left   Syracuse,    I 

I      '   ^1        never  thought  I'd  want  to 

f      bM       play  again,"  Cowling  said. 

"Through   working  with 

the  FIU  team,  I  found  the 

joy  that  I  had  lost.  " 

When  Cowling 
moved  to  Tallahassee  and 
transferred  to  the  University,  she  did  so 
with  no  intentions  ol  playing  volleyball. 
She  had  grown  up  a  Seminole  fan  and 
iked  the  idea  of  being  closer  to  home  and 
warm  weather. 

Her  career  at  the  University  began 
as   a   walk-on,    which    was   a   difficult 


transition  for  Cowling.  At  Syracuse  she 
had  been  named  the  Most  Valuable 
Player  as  a  freshman  and  by  her  junior 
year  she  \A'as  the  team  captain,  the  leader 
in  assists,  a  Regional  All-Amencan  and  a 
selection  for  the  Olympic  Festival  silver 
medal  volleyball  squad. 

"  I  decided  to  w^ork  as  hard  as  I  could, 
I  wanted  to  do  it,  "  Cowling  said  about 
joining  the  Lady  Seminole  squad,  which 
was  what  Head  Coach  Cecile  Reynaud 
felt  set  her  apart. 

"Anything  we  are  doing.  Sherry 
pushes  herself  absolutely  as  hard  as  she 
can  push,"  Reynaud  said. 

"At  first  we  were  skeptical,  because 
she  was  coming  in  as  a  senior.  But  she  fit 
right  in  to  the  team  and  made  a  good 
impact,  both  attitude-wise  and  on  the 
court,"  teammate  Adria  Ciraco  said. 

In  one  short  season.  Cowling  proved 
to  be  an  asset  to  the  women's  volleyball 
team.  She  was  named  to  the  second  team 
All-South  Region  and  finished  second  on 
the  University's  single  season  assist 
charts.  Cowling  was  also  named  to  the 
All-Tournament  teams  at  the  Gator 
Invitational,  South  Florida  Invitational, 
and  Hofstra  Invitational. 

In  the  ACC  Tournament,  Cowling's 
performance  placed  her  on  the  All- 
Tournament  team,  and  she  was  also 
named  to  the  All-ACC  team  for  the 
season. 

Her  academic  emphasis  and 
achievements  did  not  go  unnoticed  either. 
GTE  Corporation  named  her  to  the  All- 
America  Volleyball  third  team  for  the 
entire  nation.  Cowling  graduated  in  May 
w^ith  a  degree  in  economics  and  business.

The  Seminole  football 
and  basketball  teams  were 
not  the  only  ones  who 
racked  up  the  frequent 
flyer  miles.  In  January  the 
cheerleaders  traveled  to 
compete  in  the  National 
Collegiate  Cheerleading 
Championship  in  Dallas, 
Texas,  while  the  Golden 
Girls  performed  in  a 
December  halftime  show 
in  Japan. 

For  the  18-member 
cheerleading  squad,  it  was 
the  first  time  in  three  years 
they  were  able  to  make  the 
trip  to  the  National 
Championship.  Their 
efforts  paid  off  as  they 
placed  fourth  in  the  nation, 
their  highest  finish  ever. 
This  was  quite  an 
accomplishment 
considering  the  teams  that 
placed  above  them  had  all 
placed  first  in  past  years. 

The  squad  remained  on 
the  go,  performing  at  the 
Orange  Bowl  in  Miami, 
the  basketball  game 
against  the   University  of 


Florida  in  Tallahassee  and 
the  NCCC  competition  in 
Dallas,  all  in  one  week. 

Senior  member  Nicole 
Batchelor  attributed  their 
success  to  their 
determination. 

"We  knew  we  were  good 
and  we  didn't  want  any 
odds  to  keep  us  from  being 
the  best,"  she  said. 

While  the  cheerleaders 
prepared  for  nationals,  the 
Golden  Girls  were 
preparing  for  their  own 
show.  Invited  to  perform 
based  on  a  videotaped 
performance,  the  Golden 
Girls  packed  it  up  and 
headed  to  Japan  to 
perform  in  the  Coca-Cola 
Classic  football  game. 

Although  not  a 
competition,  the  Golden 
Girls  performance  meant 
just  as  much  as  they  were 
chosen  out  of  various 
dance  teams  nationally. 

Dancer  Marcy  Kislia 
said  her  favorite  part  of  the 
trip  was  how  respected 
they  were  because  of  their 


dancing  ability. 

"They  thought  we  were 
stars,"  she  said. 

The  Golden  Girls  have 
existed  for  over  ten  years. 
They  have  grown  to  14 
girls  that  perform  at 
basketball  games, 
competitions,  rush  parties, 
philanthropy  projects  and 
community  activities. 

The  University's 
cheerleaders  have  also 
been  around  for  many 
years  doing  their  best  to 
rouse  the  spirit  of 
Seminoles  everywhere.  A 
coed  team,  the  squad 
practiced  long  hours  to 
strut  their  stuff  at  all 
football  and  men's 
basketball  games,  as  well 
as  charity  benefits  and 
alumni  gatherings. 

Batchelor  said  her 
favorite  part  of  her  3  year 
experience  as  a  varsity 
cheerleader  was  the  pride. 

"It  is  such  a  high  to  be 
part  of  our  athletic 
program,  "  she  said,  -con^t-

"FSU  is  a  great  school 
with  a  strong  tradition. 
Although  it  is  a  big 
school,  it  has  a  small 
school  feeling,  and  the 
people  are  great.  "  This 
was  how  Andy  McNeil 
would  describe  Florida 
State  to  a  prospective 
student. 

McNeil  served  as 
the  University's  Spirit 
Coordinator.  This 
meant  he  was  in  charge 
ol  the  Varsity  and  J. V. 
cheerleaders,  the 
Golden  Girls  and  the 
Batgirls.  He  organized 
all  tryouts,  practices, 
clinics  and  travel 
arrangements  lor  all 
three  squads 
throughout  the 
football,  basketball  and 
baseball  seasons. 

McNeil,  who  cheered 
for  Florida  State 
himselt,  interviewed  tor 
the  job  after  graduating 
with  a  degree  in 
marketing  in  1990.  He 
worked  out  of  the 
school's  Sports 
Marketing  department. 

Whether  it  was  any  of 
the  three  major  sports 
or  the  w^omen's  sports, 
the  best  part  of 
McNeil's  job  was, 
"Helping  support 
Seminole  athletics.  "

As  tor  the  practice  and  physical 
endurance,  Batchelor  said  it  was  all  worth 
it.  She  believed  this  to  be  the  best  and 
most  diverse  squad  ever  at 
the  University.  She  said 
the  biggest  sacrifice  was 
missing  so  much  school. 

"It  IS  like  having  a  35- 
hour  a  ^veek  job,  including 
practice,  game  time,  travel, 
alumni  and  charitable 
appearances,"  Batchelor 
said. 

Along  with  the  varsity 
squad,  there  existed  a  14- 
member  junior  varsity 
squad.  This  team 
pertormed  as  the  "Lady 
Seminole  Squad"  at 
women's  volleyball  and 
basketball  games. 
Members  w^ere  able  to 
move  up  or  down  betw^een 
the  junior  varsity  and 
varsity  squads  depending 
on  various  factors 
affecting  performances 
and  responsibilities. 
Each  of  the  three  groups 
held  try  outs  annually.  Cheerleaders 
hosted  theirs  tor  the  varsity  in  the  Spring 


and  the  junior  varsity  in  the  Fall.  Golden 
Girls  try  outs  consisted  of  a  two  day  clinic 
in  May.  The  first  day,  participants  were 
taught  a  dance  routine  and  the  fight  song. 
The  actual  try  out  consisted  of  those  two 
activities  in  addition  to  kicks,  turns  and 
splits. 

The  three  groups  did,  on  occasion, 
combine  their  efforts.  The  biggest 
example  of  this  was  a  combination  routine 
performed  at  the  Homecoming  Pow^ 
Wow.  They  attended  the  same  summer 
camp  and  practice  times  were  similar. 
Kislia  believed  the  two  groups  got  along 
well  and  complemented  each  other  in 
performance,  with  both  groups  looking 
forward  to  more  throughout  the  year. 
Andy  McNeil  coached  the  two 
cheerleading  squads,  while  also  advising 
the  Golden  Girls  and  Bat  Girls. 

"They  work  together  when  needed  but 
each  have  separate  jobs,"  he  said.

in  the 
ACC 


ACC  season  number 
two.  What  could  Florida 
State  expect  from  its 
basketball  teams?  The 
Lady  Seminoles  hoped  to 
improve  on  the  8-8 
conlerence  record  from 
last  season.  The  men's 
team  had  high  hopes  lor  a 
conference  championship 
after  finishing  second  in 
the  regular  season  and 
third  in  the  post-season 
tournament. 

As  the  Seminoles 
prepared  for  the 
competition,  both  teams 
looked  to  seniors  lor 
leadership.  Women's 
coach  Marynell  Meadors 
relied  on  the  experience  of 
Chantelle  Dishman,  Tia 
Paschal  and  Danielle 
Ryan  and  they  did  not 
disappoint  her. 
Unfortunately,  Dishman 
injured  her  knee  twice  and 
was  out  for  most  of  the 
season,  so  she  did  not  get  to 
play  up  to  her  potential. 
But  both  Paschal  and 
Ryan  proved  to  be 
excellent  leaders.  Paschal 
earned  MVP  honors  at  the 
Dial  Soap  Classic 
Tournament  and  made  the 


all-tournament  team  at  the 
Oakland  Tribune  Classic. 
She  broke  numerous 
school  records  and  at  the 
end  ol  the  season  was 
named  to  the  All-ACC  first 
team.  Ryan  made  the  all- 
tournament  teams  at  the 
both  the  Dial  Soap  and 
Oakland  Tribune  Classics. 
She  excelled  in  the 
classroom  as  well,  being 
named  ACC  Scholar- 
Athlete  of  the  Week  and  a 
GTE  Academic  All- 
American.  Both  seniors 
had  games  in  which  they 
scored  over  30  points. 
Paschal  with  three  and 
Ryan  with  one. 

The  Lady  Seminoles 
competed  in  two 
tournaments  during  the 
season  and  did  w^ell.  They 
won  the  Dial  Classic  at 
home  and  were  runners- 
up  in  the  Oakland  Tribune 
Classic  in  California.  As  a 
team,  they  broke  the 
record  for  the  most  three- 
pointers  in  a  season. 

Coach  Kennedy  also 
looked  to  three  seniors 
who  showed  themselves  to 
be  some  of  the  geatest 
basketball    pi  ay  e  r  s    in 


school  history,  Sam 
Cassell,  Rodney  Dobard, 
and  Doug  Edwards. 
Kennedy  also  had  a  full 
arsenal  of  athletes  in 
addition  to  the  big  three, 
including  last  season's 
Rookie  ol  the  Year  Bob 
Sura,  team  leader  Charlie 
Ward,  experienced  seniors 
Lorenzo  Hands  and  Byron 
Wells  and  talented  new 
Ireshmen  Derrick  Carroll, 
Maurice  Robinson,  Scott 
Shepherd. 

Sam  Cassell,  Doug 
Edwards,  and  Bob  Sura 
earned  spots  on  the  All- 
ACC  second  team.  All 
three  made  their  marks  in 
scoring.  Exlwards  scored 
in  double  figures  84  out  of 
91  games  during  his 
career,  Cassell  62  out  of  66, 
and  Sura  54  out  of  65 
games.  This  season 
Dobard  broke  the  record 
of  the  most  games  played 
as  a  Seminole  with  122. 

The  men's  team  was 
plagued  with  injuries 
throughout  the  season,  but 
still  managed  to  capture 
second  place  in  the  ACC 
and  go  all  the  way  to  the 
final  eight  in  the  NCAA.

Chances  were,  you  got 
beat.  The  women 
hoopsters  convincingK' 
deteated  5  of  6  ranked 
opponents  during  that 
month. 

It  all  started  with  a 
road  win  over  16th- 
ranked  University  of 
Miami.  In  the  Oakland 
Tribune  Classic  just 
bclore  Christmas,  the\ 
defeated  Tennessee 
Tech,  the  #23  team. 
Ironically,  head  coach 
Marynell  Meadors  had 
recently  been  inducted 
into  the  Tennessee  Tech 
Hall  of  Fame  for  starting 
and  coaching  their 
basketball  program  for 
16  years. 

The  team's  next  three 
wins  were  not  only  over 
ranked  teams,  but  ACC 
opponents  as  well.  They 
defeated  UNC  (#15) 
and  Georgia  Tech  (#23) 
both  on  the  road. 

But  the  win  Meadors 
called  "the  biggest  in 
school  history  "  came 
against  the  Maryland 
Terrapins,  ranked  #3  in 
the  nation,  by  a  score  of 
68-61. 

Even  with  the  big 
wins,  the  Lady  'Noles 
failed  to  rank  in  the  Top 
25  themselves.  Losses  to 
unranked  teams  and 
injuries  contributed  to 
this  fact.  But  the 
women's  basketball 
team  still  made  their 
name  known  around  the 
country.

Tia  PcuchaL  learned  at  a  young  age  how  to 
play  boA^ketball  ^With  the  boyd " 


^ 
ll 


Tia  Paschal  was  known  and  respected 
on  any  court  on  campus.  Whether  one 
was  at  Tully  Gym  or  the  Leach  Center,  she 
was  amazing  to  watch. 

Paschal,  the  6-foot- 1  senior  from 
Thomson,  Georgia,  was  the  most  versatile 
player  in  the  history  of 
women's  basketball  at 
FSU.  She  could  play  on 
the  inside  or  outside.  She 
had  speed,  endurance  and 
strength  to  defend  against 
the  toughest  opponent. 

Paschal  broke  two 
school  records,  one  for  the 
most  steals  in  a  season  and 
another  for  the  most  points 
in  a  game  against  15th- 
ranked  North  Carolina. 
Paschal  scored  38  points  to 
ead  the  team  in  85-66 
upset. 

"I  had  no  idea  the  school 
record  was  "hi  points  in  a 
game.  It  was  a  big  surprise 
when  the  team  told  me  I 
had  broken  the  record,  " 
Paschal  said.  "It  was  my 
night.  Every  thing  I  put  up 
went  in  and  38  went  in.  " 

North  Carolina's 
Hatchell  remembered 
Paschal's  most  memorable  game  against 
them.  "She  was  unreal  that  day,"  Hatchell 
said.  (Paschal  also  had  1 1  rebounds,  lour 
steals  and  shut  dow^n  one  of  UNC's 
leading  scorers.  "She  was  inside,  she  was 


outside,  she  posted  up,  she  rebounded, 
she  brought  the  ball  down  the  floor,  she 
blocked  shots,  she  made  steals-she  was  all 
world  that  day  and  we  couldn't  do 
anything  to  stop  her.  " 

Playing  basketball  was  not  always  easy 
for  Paschal.  There  was  a  time  when  she 
would  go  to  the  park  with  her  sister  to  play 
with  the  guys  and  neither  she  nor  her 
sister  were  picked  to  be  on  the  teams.  "I 
was  small,  skinny  and  could  not  get  the 
ball.  So  the  boys  did  not  want  me  to  play, " 
Paschal  remembers.  'I  used  to  practice 
with  a  bicycle  rim  and  a  piece  of  wood 
hung  up  on  a  pole.  As  I  got  older  and  the 
guys  saw  I  could  play,  they  started  picking 
me  to  be  on  their  team." 

Paschal  did  not  stop  playing  ball  with 
the  guys  when  she  got  to  college.  Her 
attitude  was  that  playing  with  the  guys 
taught  speed,  strength  and  helped  rid  fear 
of  the  big  girls  becuase  she  would  keep 
body  contact  with  the  boys.  "I  played  at 
Leach  with  guys  during  the  off  season, 
they  make  you  more  aggressive,  '  Paschal 
said.  'Their  attitude  is  if  you  can't  play, 
stay  off  the  court.  ' 

Paschal  wants  to  play  professional 
women's  basketball  in  Europe.  Then  she 
wants  to  play  in  the  1996  OKonpics.  If  her 
knees  last  that  long  she  will  have  reached 
her  ultimate  goal  in  basketball. 

Paschal  majored  in  criminology.  After 
basketball,  she  hoped  to  have  a  job  as  an 
undercover  cop  working  in  narcotics  to 
give  the  youth  of  America  a  better  chance 
by  helping  to  rid  the  streets  of  drugs.

The  men  'c^  basketball  team  took  a  licking^ 
but  kept  on  ticking 


Everything  pointed  toward  a 
spectacular  season  tor  the  men's 
basketball  team.  With  all  the  starters 
returning  from  a  Sweet  16  team, 
combined  with  a  talented  freshman  class, 
the  Seminole  fans  dared  to  expect  a  Final 
Four  appearance.  Then,  the  season 
began... 

It  started  in  the  opening  minutes  of  the 
very  first  game,  versus  Siena  in  the 
preseason  NIT  tournament.  Guard 
Chuck  Graham  went  down  with  a  knee 
injury.  He  sustained  ligament  damage 
and  underwent  surgery,  ending  his 
season.  Graham  took  a  medical  redshirt 
to  save  his  final  season  for  1993-94. 

One  dow^n,  who  was  next?  Andre  Reid 
broke  his  hand  ■when  it  was  slammed  in  a 
car  door,  ending  his  season  as  well.  Doug 
Fxiw^ards  broke  his  finger  in  the  warmups 
before  a  game  against  Maryland- 
Baltimore  County  on  Dec.  28,  but  was 
only  out  for  two  games. 

All  these  injuries  occurred  before  the 
team  started  ACC  competition  in 
January.  In  addition  to  the  nagging 
absences  of  key  players  in  the  first  part  ol 
the  season,  the  team  was  also  without 
Charlie  Ward,  -who  was  quarterbacking 
the  football  team.  They  started  strong  in 
the  ACC  after  he  joined  the  team.  Then 
against  Georgia  Tech,  Ward  went  down 
with  a  dislocated  shoulder,  the  same 
shoulder  he  injured  in  the  1992  NCAA 
Tournament. 

How  many  more  to  go? 
Freshman  Jonathan  Kerner,  a  reserve 
center,   missed   nine   games   because   of 
mononucleosis.

two  weeks  before  this  game,  one 
of  the  many  injuries  that  the 
Seminoles  experienced  this  sea- 
son. Photo  by  Steve  Stiber. 


Carroll,  who  gained  the  starting  position 
when  Ward  -went  down,  broke  his  left  foot 
in  early  February  and  missed  five  games. 
Ironically,  this  was  season  #13  for  head 
coach  Pat  Kennedy.  "I  don't  know  what  I 
did  this  summer,  but  it  must  have  been 
horrible.    I  never  had  injuries  like  this  in 
my  13  years  of  coaching. 
It's  catching  up  with  me  in 
one  year,  "  Kennedy  said. 
It  was  not  just  injuries, 
how^ever.     Bob  Sura  and 
Doug  Eklwards  were  both 
suspended   for  one  game 
lor  missing  classes.  They 
missed  an  ACC  matchup 
versus    N.C.    State    in 
Raleigh. 

However,  the  situation 
finally  started  to  improve. 
Kerner  returned  for  the 
N.C.  State  game,  and 
contributed  to  a  72-71 
victory.  Ward  returned 
where  he  left  off  -  against 
Georgia  Tech-htted  with  a 
special  brace  lor  his 
shoulder.  Carroll  also 
returned  for  that  game, 
which  the  Seminoles  won 
and  clinched  second  place 
in  the  ACC. 

By  March  Madness, 
Kennedy  had  all  his  players  back  injury- 
free.  The  casualties  did  have  a  good  side. 
It  gave  younger  players,  such  as  Scott 
Shepherd  and  Alaunce  Robinson  early 
experience.  And  ultimately,  that 
experience  would  benefit  in  future 
seasons.

FSU 
Duk£ 


\  It  seemed  an  unlikely 
H  possibility-  FSU,  who 
m  had  fallen  out  of  the  AP 
1  op  25,  hosting  Duke, 
ranked  #6  and  the  two- 
time  defending  national 
champions.  However, 
the  13,333  fans  that 
packed  the  Civic  Center 
saw  one  ot  the  most 
exciting  games  of  the 
season.  The  lead 
changed  hands  15  times 
during  the  game  and 
twice  FSU  battled  back 
from  double-digit 
deficits  to  tie  the  score. 
In  the  closing  seconds  of 
regulation,  with  the 
score  tied  at  80,  Charlie 
Ward  knocked  the  ball 
loose  from  Duke's 
Grant  Hill  to  prevent 
any  more  scoring  and  to 
advance  to  overtime. 

The  lead  continued  to 
go  back  and  forth  in 
OT,  but  with  7  seconds 
left,  and  the  score  88-86 
in  Duke's  favor,  Byron 
Wells,  a  reserve 
forward,  became  FSU's 
hero.  His  three-point 
shot  bounced  off  the  rim 
and  then  sank  in  for  the 
Seminole  win,  called 
the  "greatest  win  "  by 
FSU  coach  Pat 
Kennedy. 

"We  worked  seven 
years  for  this.  I  think 
for  Florida  State 
University  basketball, 
with  the  Final  Four  of 
'72,  it  was  our  greatest 
moment,  "  Kennedy 
said. 

Although  Wells  was 
the  overtime  hero,  it 
was  a  team  effort  that 
produced  the  win. 
Doug  Fxiwards  led  the 
team  with  2 1  points  and 
12  rebounds  before 
fouling  out  late  in  the 
second  half.  Bob  Sura 
and  Rodney  Dobard 
both  had  16  points, 
while  Sam  Cassell 
scored  15  and  held 
Thomas  Hill  to  only  5. 
Charlie  Ward  scored 
1 1,  while  Wells  finished 
with  10. 


"We  were  too 
exhausted  to  try 
to  go  to  a  second 
OT  and  I  thought 
our  best  shot  was 
to  win  it  with 
three.    I  thought  it 
w^as  the  best  effort 
of  any  team  I've 
ever  had.    It  was 
truly  a  special 
effort.  "-P^z/^

nitely was  to  get

Impact  players  are 
usually  those  with  the 
most  experience  and 
that  proved  to  be  the 
case  for  the  men's 
basketball  team.  Three 
seniors  provided 
leadership  and  skill 
throughout  the  season. 
Collectively,  the 
seniors  accounted  for 
56  of  the  team's  86.2 
points  a  game  and  60 
percent  of  the  rebounds. 
Cassell,  from 
Baltimore,  Maryland, 
started  all  35  games  for 
the  Seminoles.  He 
spent  many  games  in 
the  point  guard 
position  when  Charlie 
Ward  was  out.  His 
most  stunning  statistic 
occurred  during  the 
NCAA  Tournament, 
when  he  shot  9  of  9  from 
three-point  range  in  the 
first  two  games,  setting 
a  tournament  record. 

Dobard  broke  records 
himself  this  season. 
During  his  FSU  career 
he  played  122  games, 
lour  more  than  the 
previous  record- 
holder.  When  Dobard 
scored  12  or  more 
points,  the  team  posted 
a  37-4  mark,  proving 
that  he  was  one  of  the 
most  dependable 
players  on  the  team. 

Edwards  showed  his 
stuff  both  in  scoring 
and  rebounding, 
having  double  figures 
for  both  in  several 
games  this  season.  He 
was  the  first  player  in 
school  history  to  score 
at  least  1,500  points, 
700  rebounds  and  200 
assists. 

These  players  enjoyed 
remarkable  careers  and 
it  would  be  tough  to 
replace  them  in  the  next 
season.

Zl6e  Seminole*^  bounce  back  from  the  AC  C 
Tournament  to  a  strong  dhowing  in  the  NCAA 


After  battling  through  another  season 

the  the  Atlantic  Coast  Conference,  the 

men's  basketball  team  prepared  for  the 

postseason     ACC     and     NCAA 

Tournaments.    They  finished  the  regular 

season  with  a  24-9  record,    12-5  in  the 

conference,  capturing  the  second  place 

spot.     They  swept  Wake 

Forest,    Maryland,    N.C. 

State,     Clemson    and 

Georgia   Tech   and   split 

games    with    Duke    and 

Virginia. 

The   team   traveled   to 
Charlotte,    NC,    for   the 
four-day       ACC 
Tournament  in  March.  As 
the   #2    seed   they   faced 
seventh-seeded   Clemson 
in  the  first  game.    In  what 
was  a  surprise  to  just  about 
everyone,    Clemson   sent 
the    Seminoles    back    to 
Tallahassee  with  a  87-75 
loss.     This  was  despite  a 
spectacular   performance 
by    the    senior    Doug 
Exlwards,   who   had   team 
highs     in     scoring, 
rebounding  and  assisting. 
Even  with  that  much- 
too-short  trip  to  Charlotte, 
the  Seminoles  became  the 
#3  seed  in  the  Southeast  Region  of  the 
NCAA  Tournament.     This  meant  they 
would    play   the    first   two    rounds    in 
Orlando,  virtually  in  their  own  backyard. 
The  first  game  was  against  Evansville. 
Was  another  big  upset  at  hand?   Not  this 
time.      The    Seminoles    regained    the 


confidence  they  seemed  to  have  lost  and 
easily  defeated  the  the  Aces  82-70.  In  the 
second  round  they  faced  Tulane  and  it 
was  the  same  story,  only  to  a  greater 
degree,  as  they  won  94-63.  Sam  Cassell's 
shooting  came  alive  in  these  two  games  as 
he  scored  18  points  versus  Evansville  and 
3 1  against  Tulane.  He  also  went  9  of  9  in 
three-point  shooting,  an  NCAA  record. 

With  these  wins,  the  team  had  advanced 
to  the  Sweet  16,  repeating  last  season's 
performance.  In  the  next  game  they  met 
Western  Kentucky,  a  team  that  had  upset 
the  #2  seed,  Seton  ffall.  Called  a 
"Cinderella  team,"  WKU  took  the  team  to 
overtime  before  the  Seminoles  pulled  off 
the  win,  81-78.  Turnovers  and  low  free- 
throw  shooting  played  a  big  part  in  the 
Seminoles  struggle,  but  in  key  situations, 
several  members  of  the  team  stepped  up 
and  made  the  big  plays. 

The  region  final  pitted  Florida  State 
against  Kentucky,  the  #1  seed.  The 
Wildcats  ended  the  Seminoles  NCAA  trip 
with  a  106-81  victory.  The  Tribe  kept  it 
close  in  the  first  half,  gaining  the  lead  at 
one  point  in  the  first  half.  Doug  Eldwards, 
despite  fouling  out  late  in  both  games, 
played  his  final  two  games  as  a  Seminole 
in  style  as  he  provided  19  points  against 
Western  Kentucky  and  15  against 
Kentucky. 

Although  they  experienced  ups  and 
downs  in  post-season  tournament  play, 
the  Seminoles  had  nothing  to  be  ashamed 
of.  Finishing  second  place  in  the  regular- 
season  ACC  and  advancing  to  the  "Elite 
8"  of  the  NCAA  Tournament  proved  the 
Seminoles  were  one  of  the  premier  college 
basketball  teams  in  America.

The  men's  and  women's 
swimming  and  diving 
teams  gave  solid  perfor- 
mances at  the  Atlantic 
Coast  Conference  Cham- 
pionships. Both  placed 
fourth  in  the  highly  com- 
petitive ACC  improving 
on  their  fifth  place  finish  in 
1992.  Head  Coach  Terry 
iMaul,  in  his  18th  season  at 
the  helm  of  the  swimming 
teams,  has  guided  32  All- 
Americans  and  led  the 
program  to  an  overall 
record  of  174-94-2. 

"This  was  the  best  per- 
formance I've  had  in  all  my 
years  of  coaching,"  Maul 
said. 

Four  Seminoles  swam 
to  first  place  finishes. 
Freshmen  Helen  Jepson 
and  Robert  Braknis  and 
sophmores  Dora  Bralic 
and  Ignacio  Merino  cap- 
tured individual  ACC 
titles.  Being  underclass- 
men, these  individuals 
would  provide  a  strong 
nucleus  for  the  upcoming 
seasons. 

During  the  regular  sea- 
son the  men  posted  a  8-4 
record  and  the  women 
closed   the   season   strong 


after  a  shaky  start  with  6 
wins,  5  losses.  The  swim- 
mers also  set  nine  new 
school  records.  Senior 
Kiki  Steinberg  broke  a 
pair  of  records  at  the  Semi- 
nole Winter  Invitational; 
the  100  backstroke  record 
and  her  own  record  in  the 
200  back.  At  the  ACC 
Championships  Ignacio 
Merino  broke  three  school 
records  in  the  100  and  200 
butterfly  and  200  breast- 
stroke.  Robert  Braknis 
shattered  two  marks  in  the 
100  and  200  backstroke, 
and  Helen  Jepson  set  the 
200  fly  record.  The  men's 
relay  team  of  Braknis,  Me- 
rino, Greg  Miller,  and 
Jose'  Gutierrez  broke  the 
400  medley  relay  with  a 
time  of  3: 19.44. 

The  performances  of 
Braknis,  Merino,  and 
Jepson  qualified  them  for 
the  NCAA  Championship 
meet  held  in  March  in 
Minneapolis.  This  meet 
brought  together  the  top 
collegiate  swimmers  in  the 
country.  "It  was  a  real 
honor  to  swim  in  such  a 
prestigious  meet,"  Jepson 
said. 


Florida  State  would  host 
the  ACC  Championships 
next  season.  "It  will  bring 
much  excitement  and  en- 
thusiasm to  the  swimming 
program  next  year  hosting 
the  conference  meet  here 
in  Tallahassee,"  Nada 
Cenanovik  from  Ontario, 
Canada  said.  "We  have  a 
chance  to  further  advance 
in  the  conference  and 
make  a  strong  showing  in 
our  home  pool,  "Julie 
Peluso  said. 

The  men's  team  gradu- 
ated three  seniors;  Cory 
Hyrnyk,  diver  Rob 
Caicedo,  and  team  co-cap- 
tain John  Bates.  The 
women's  team  lost  a  few 
more,  with  Missy 
Connolly,  Suzie  Gunn, 
Meghan  Henning,  Valerie 
Moore,  diver  Shelly  King, 
and  team  co-captain  Kiki 
Steinberg  all  departing. 
"We  have  met  at  a  cross- 
roads," Coach  Maul  said. 
With  the  addition  of  new 
signees  and  the  continued 
training  and  growth  of  the 
underclassmen,  the  Semi- 
noles could  be  a  fierce 
competitor  for  the  ACC 
title  in  the  future.

Freshman  Helen 
Jepson  dove  head  tirst 
into  the  Seminole 
swimming  program 
and  did  not  look  back. 
Few  student  athletes 
achieve  the  success  she 
had  in  just  her  hrstyear 
ot  collegiate 
competition. 

Hailing  trom  the 
United  Kingdom, 
Jepson  barely  missed 
competing  in  the  1992

tor  her  home  countr\'. 
She  made  up  tor  it  in  the

however.

Seminoles  to  victory, 
155-87.  At  the  ACC 
Championships,  she 
also  won  the  200 
butterfly,  setting  a  new 
school  record  in  the 
process.  Because  of  her 
success,  Jepson  was 
named  to  the  All-ACC 
team. 

Helen  was  the  only 
representative  lor  the 
Lady  Seminole  squad 
at  college  aquatics  most 
prestigious  event,  the 
NCAA 
Championships.  She 
competed  in  the  100 
and  200  butterfly. 

Although  she  did  not 
score  in  the  top  16  in 
those  events  at  the 
championships,  "it  was 
a  real  honor  to  swim  in 
such  a  prestigious 
meet,"  Jepson  said.

Pedregal,    Mexico.      Quito-Victoria, 

Ecuador.       Ontario,    Quebec    and 

Vancouver,  Canada.  Sounds  like  a  pretty 

extensive  world  tour,  doesn't  it?  Actually 

these  were   the   countries 

from      which      the 

international   members   of 

the  swimming  and  diving 

teams    originated.      The 

women's   team    had   lour 

foreign    athletes:    Dora 

Bralic',  Nada  Cenanovic', 

Helen  Jepson  and  Claudia 

Wilson.      On    the   men's 

team  John  Bates,  Thomas 

Bendixen,      Robert 

Braknis,      Rolando 

Galindo,    Pablo    Garcia, 

Jose    Gutierrez,    Ignacio 

Merino,  Greg  Miller  and 

Alfonso    Reims   migrated 

from  foreign  lands. 

Many  of  these  athletes 
came  to  the  United  States 
to  get  their  college 
education  and  to  train  in 
exceptional  facilities.  The 
state  of  Florida,  with  its 
warm  climate,  was  also  the 
number  one  choice  for 
swimmers,  as  indicated  by  the  number  of 
international  swimmers  and  divers  at  the 
state  universities  that  offer  a  swimming 
program. 

Back  in  their  home  countries,  many  of 
the  swimmers  achieved  recognition 
before  they  came  to  college.  Dora  Bralic' 


held  the  Yugoslavian  record  in  the  100 
breaststroke  and  400  freestyle  relay. 
Claudia  Wilson  competed  in  the  South 
American  Championships  for  Brazil  and 
had  a  second  and  third  place  finish.  She 
also  took  first  place  in  the  400  IM  at  the 
Brazil  Open.  John  Bates  was  a  regional 
finalist  in  Australia.  Thomas  Bendixen 
was  the  Danish  junior  record  holder  in  the 
4  X  100  medley  and  freestyle  relays.  The 
United  States'  neighbors  both  north  and 
south  placed  members  on  the  Seminole 
squad.  For  Canada,  Robert  Braknis  won 
the  50  free  at  the  Canadian  Nationals  and 
Greg  Miller  was  a  finalist  in  the  200  fly 
and  100  backstroke  at  the  Canadian 
World  Finals.  Miller  also  competed  on 
the  Provincial  Youth  Team  for  the 
Western  Canada  Games.  For  Mexico, 
Rolando  Galindo  placed  second  in  the 
200  breaststroke  at  the  Mexican 
Nationals  and  third  at  the  Central 
American  Games.  Ignacio  Merino  was  a 
national  qualifier  for  the  100  and  200 
butterfly  in  Ecuador. 

Why  did  such  great  numbers  of 
international  athletes  come  to  the  United 
States?  'There  are  more  opportunities 
here  for  them  to  compete.  In  European 
countries  they  don't  compete  on  the 
collegiate  level.  There  are  also  more 
educational  opportunities  for  them  in  the 
U.S.  Coaches  at  Florida  State  did  not 
travel  abroad  to  actively  recruit  these 
athletes,  although  some  other  schools  may 
have  done  this,"  assistant  swim  coach 
Don  Gibb  said. 

"International  students  definitely  make 
an  impact.  They  are  usually  in  the  top 
group  of  swimmers,  "  Coach  Gibb  said.

Smmtner  Ignacio  Merino  hcu  achieved  ducce^d, 
but  continued  to  det  hid  goaU  higher 


Ignacio  Merino  began  swimming  at  the 
age  oi  6  in  his  hometown  in  Quito- 
Victoria,  Ecuador.  There  he  developed  a 
strong  interest  in  swimming  and  began  his 
hfelong  relationship  with  the  sport.  In 
Ecuador  he  qualified  for  the  national  team 
in  the  100  and  200  butterfly.  After 
graduating  from  high  school  ,  he  came  to 
the  United  States  to  train.  Before 
attending  the  University  he  spent  a  year 
in  Amencus,  Georgia  taking  classes  and 
training  four  hours  a  day.  Ignacio  had 
scholarship  offers  from  other  schools 
throughout  the  country  including  the 
University  of  Arizona  and  Louisiana 
State  but  chose  FSU  because  ol  the 
excellent  sport  facilities,  warm  climate, 
friendly  atmosphere  and  opportunity  to 
improve  his  times. 

Ignacio  had  little  trouble  making  the 
transition  from  club  swimming  to 
swimming  in  the  competitive  Atlantic 
Coast  Conference.  During  his  Ireshman 
year  he  missed  the  NCAA  quahlying  time 
in  the  200  breaststroke  by  only  hall  a 
second.  As  a  sophomore,  Merino  was  the 
top  returning  scorer  tor  the  season.  He 
also  broke  three  school  records  in  the  200 
butterfly  (1:47:29),  100  butterfly  (48.64 
sec),  and  200  breaststroke.  Merino 
earned  a  spot  on  the  All-ACC  team  at  the 
end  of  the  season,  one  ol  six  Seminoles 
who  ^A'ere  selected.  He  was  also  one  ol 
only  two  swimmers  on  the  men's  team  to 
compete  in  the  prestigious  NCAA 
Swimming  and  Diving  Championships 
held  in  Indianapolis  in  the  spring. 

Some  of  Ignacio's  future  goals  included 
becoming   an    All-American    swimmer

which  required  placing  in  the  Top  8  at  the 
NCAA  championships.  With  the  help  oi 
his  leadership,  he  also  wanted  to  "bring 
the  whole  Florida  State  swimming  team  to 
a  new  level  of  competitiveness.  I  ■would 
like  to  have  the  team  place  higher  in  the 
conference  meet  and  beat 
our  archrivals  North 
Carolina  and  North 
Carolina  State." 

"We  have  everything 
here  at  this  school  to  take 
us  to  that  new  level," 
Merino  said,  referring  to 
the  newly  purchased 
equipment,  weightroom, 
Leach  Center  and  the 
quality  of  the  swimmers 
already  here  in  the 
program. 

Alter  swimming 
Ignacio  planned  to 
graduate  with  a  bachelor's 
degree  in  Economics  and 
possibly  go  on  to  graduate 
school,  continuing  at 
FSU.  Another  ambition  of 
Merino's  was  to  stay  in 
Tallahassee  and  help 
coach  the  team  after 
graduation.  He  felt  that 
sw^imming  had  a  bright 
future  on  the  national  level  and  he  hoped 
to  be  a  part  of  it. 

"Swimming  has  helped  me  learn  about 
myself  as  well  as  develop  a  competitive 
relationship  with  the  others  around  me, 
especially  the  members  of  the  team," 
Ignacio  said.

Former  Gator 
Joln*f  the  Tribe 

The  Florida  State 
men's  swimming  team 
welcomed  a  new 
assistant  coach  this 
season,  Donald  Gibb. 
Gibb,  a  1985  graduate 
from  the  University  ot 
Florida,  was  the  top 
assistant  tor  the  Gator 
swimming  team  for  five 
seasons  before  coming 
to  Seminole  territory. 
While  competing  in 
college,  Gibb  was  the 
SEC  champion  in  the 
100-yard  freestyle  in 
1982  and  placed 
seventh  in  the  same 
event  at  the  1983 
NCAA  championships. 
He  was  also  a  member 
ot  the  400-yard  relay 
team  that  placed  first  in 
the  NCAA's  and 
cliched  the  national  title 
for  Florida  in  1983. 

At  Florida  State, 
Gibb  hopes  to  bring 
some  ot  that  same 
enthusiasm  and 
excitement  that  he 
experienced  as  a 
swimmer  and  assistant 
coach  at  UF. 

Junior  Dan  Wegner, 
a  freestyle  swimmer, 
said,  "Coach  Gibb  has 
been  very  helpful  to  the 
entire  team,  but  his 
work  with  the  sprinters 
has  especially  helped." 


"The  training  is 
very  hard.    For 
many  members  of 
the  team  it  was 
their  first  time  in 
this  type  of  train- 
ing.  Our  main 
goal  is  to  get  the 
best  times.   Plac- 
ing isn't  as  impor- 
tant as  improving 
our  times.  "-Az/z

up  the 
win*^ 


Big  victories, 
surprising  sweeps, 
individual  standouts,  all 
added  to  the  prestige 
that  Seminole  baseball 
garnered  over  theyears. 
The  team  compiled  a  39- 
15  record  during  the 
regular  season. 
However,  it  ^vas 
individual  statistics  and 
a  very  young  team  that 
made  this  season  special 
and  gave  head  coach 
Mike  Martin  nothing 
but  optimism  for 
upcoming  seasons. 

The  team  started  the 
season  with  a  seven 
game  win  streak  before 
facing  the  first  real  test 
against  Cal-State 
Fullerton.  The  Titans 
ended  the  Seminoles' 
College  World  Series 
quest  the  season  before. 
The  team  defeated  Cal- 
State  in  the  first  game 
but  dropped  the  next 
two. 

Florida's  state  schools 
all  had  successful 
baseball  programs,  so 
March  started  with  a 
bang  when  the 
Seminoles  sw^ept  a  four 


game  series  over  the 
Florida  Gators.  In  April, 
the  team  also  swept  Miami 
at  home  and  beat  the 
Hurricanes  once  down  in 
Miami.  In  the  tough 
Atlantic  Coast  Conference, 
the  Seminoles  compiled  a 
14-9  record.  NoACCteam 
swept  Florida  State  during 
the  season. 

The  team  experienced  a 
roller  coaster  ride  through 
the  weekly  polls.  They 
started  ranked  as  high  as 
#10  in  the  Collegiate 
Baseball  poll,  but  Baseball 
America  ignored  them. 
However,  that  publication 
did  award  them  their 
highest  ranking  of  the 
season,  #2,  during  April 
when  the  team  had  a  31-7 
record.  They  ended  the 
regular  season  ranked  as 
high  as  #9. 

Several  individuals  stood 
out  during  the  season. 
Sophomore  pitcher  Paul 
Wilson  captured  ACC 
Pitcher  of  the  Week  honors 
three  times,  and  had  the 
conference's  lowest  ERA, 
1.48,  with  a  10-3  record. 
Freshman  Jonathan 
Johnson    boasted    a   7-1 


record  with  a  1.69  ERA, 
second  in  the  ACC. 
Catcher  Mike  Martin,  Jr. 
was  named  ACC  Player  of 
the  Week  in  March  by 
hitting  .375  during  a  four 
game  streak,  with  a  home 
run  and  five  RBI's.  At  the 
end  of  the  season  he  threw 
out  seven  of  nine  base 
stealers.  Freshman  first 
baseman  Doug 
Mientkiewicz  was  one  of 
the  top  hitters  for  the  team 
and  league.  Freshman 
Mickey  Lopez,  senior  Ty 
Mueller,  and  junior  Mike 
Schmitz  also  had  high 
batting  averages. 

Coach  Mike  Martin 
celebrated  his  1,000th 
game  and  his  750th  win 
during  the  season.  Martin 
accumulated  a  754-254-3 
record. 

The  Seminoles  headed 
into  the  post-season  ACC 
Tournament  in  Greenville, 
South  Carolina  seeded 
number  three.  After  that 
tournament,  the  NCAA 
Regional  was  the  only 
obstacle  remaining 
between  the  Seminoles 
and  another  trip  to  the 
College  World  Series.

I'lorida's  college 
biiseball  teams  have  a 
tradition  rich  with 
success.  So  one  team 
dominating  another 
was  a  rare  event.  The 
Seminoles  did  just  that 
early  in  the  season,  over 
the  16th-ranked 
!"' !  o  r  1  d  a  Gators, 
sweeping  a  tour-game 
series. 

The  first  two  games 
took  place  in

Sophomore  Paul

career-best  game  as  the

games,  the  last  time 
also  at  the  hands  ol  the

series  with  strong

team  won  8-4. 

"We're  playing  real

The  major  league  drah  and  graduation 
took  key  talent  from  the  Seminole 
baseball  team.  Pitching  was  a  big 
concern,  as  the  Seminoles  lost  their  top 
three  pitchers.  This  posed  difficulties  to 
a  team  who  based  their  philosophy  on 
pitching  and  defense. 

"I  don't  think  we've  had  ayear  where 
\A'e've  lost  our  entire 
starting  rotation  and  as 
many  position  players  as 
w^e  've  lost.  I  don't 
remember  having  to  start 
over  like  this,  "  head  coach 
Mike  Martin  said. 

The  team  recruited  18 

new  players,  including  12 

treshmen.     This  troubled 

JT   <^   "1      some  because  the  team  was 

^^"'^       young  and  inexperienced 

in    pi  ay  ing    together. 

Baseball  America  did  not 

even  rank  the  team  in  the 

preseason  top  25.  But  not 

\       flnk:       everyone   felt   that   being 

such  ayoung  group  would 

hamper   the   University's 

t         ability  to  held  a  winning 
team.    Collegiate  Baseball 
Magazine  rated  the    1992 
recruiting     class     as 
America's  best  and  ACC 
coaches  picked  the  Tribe 
to  \vin  the  league. 
"This  is  the  most  impressive  class  I  can 
remember.       Recruiting    coordinator 
Jamey  Shouppe  did  an  outstanding  job,  " 
Martin  said.   Tw^elve   of  the  18  had  been 
drafted  during  their  career. 

Second  basemen   Chad   Sheffer  was 


\ 


drafted  in  the  fourth  round.  "I  didn't 
think  I  was  ready  to  jump  into  pro 
baseball.  I  m  definitely  glad  I  came  here,  " 
Shefier  said.  "The  coaches  really  push 
me.  I've  learned  so  much  in  every  single 
game  and  practice.  " 

Martin  described  Doug  Mientkiewicz 
as  the  "most  impressive  player  in 
preseason  v/orkouts.  "  In  fact,  he  started 
on  opening  day  over  senior  Kevin 
McCray. 

Mientkiewicz  was  a  twelfth  round 
selection  by  the  Toronto  Blue  Jays  and 
almost  signed  with  them.  "I  ^A'ould've 
gone  except  for  the  fact  that  I  would  have 
been  going  from  Westminster  where  we 
were  in  the  spotlight  to  the  minor  leagues 
where  you're  just  another  number,  " 
Mientkiewicz  said.  "I  wanted  three  or 
four  more  years  in  the  spotlight.  You 
don't  get  that  in  the  minors.  You're  just 
another  kid.  " 

Pitcher  Jonathan  Johnson  was  another 
freshman  starter.  Like  many  of  his 
teammates,  he  was  drafted  but  opted  to 
play  for  FSU.  "I  knew  we  ^A'ere  losing  a  lot 
of  talent  but  I  knew  there  were  a  lot  of  us 
freshman  signing  and  I  was  excited  about 
coming,  "  Johnson  said. 

The  newcomers  were  excited  to  join  a 
team  that  has  gone  to  the  World  Series 
five  times  in  the  last  seven  years. 

"We  have  so  much  talent  and  if  we  don't 
win  the  College  World  Series  this  year, 
it'll  be  our  sophomore  and  junior  year," 
Johnson  said. 

"I  want  another  ring  and  I  want  to  make 
Omaha  every  year  I'm  here," 
Mientkiewicz  said. 

"I  want  it  all,  "  Sheffer  said.

Baseball  competition  got  toiigh  cu  the 
Seminole^  advanced  in  the  AC C  and  NCAA 


An  active  postseason  had 
become  a  trademark  for  the  Seminole 
baseball  team,  usually  including  a  trip  to 
the  College  World  Series.  But  stiff 
competition  and  tough  games  kept  the 
young  team  from  returning  to  the  CWS 
in  Omaha,  Nebraska. 

The  team  started  the  ACC 
Tournament  as  the  #3  seed  and  played 
their  first  game  against  Clemson.  It 
seemed  as  if  Clemson  held  a  curse  over 
the  Seminoles  as  they  lost  to  the  Tigers  for 
the  eighth  time  in  nine  meetings. 

But  the  Seminoles  finally  got  the 
ball  rolling  in  the  double  elimination 
tournament  with  an  11-2  win  over 
Virginia.  During  that  game  Coach  Mike 
Martin  learned  that  Florida  State  was 
awarded  a  host  site  for  the  NCAA 
tournament,  hosting  the  six-team  East 
Regional. 

"I  must  admit,  that  news  was  a 
tremendous  lift  for  me  mentally,"  Martin 
said. 

The  Seminoles  continued  their 
winningwayswithavictory  over  Georgia 
Tech  and  finally  over  Clemson.  The 
Noles  played  N.C.  State  in  the  semifmal, 
but  the  ACC  Tobacco  Road  ended  there 
as  the  Wolfpack  won  and  advanced  to  the 
championship  game  against  Clemson. 
Clemson  took  the  ACC  title. 

Florida  State  returned  home  for 
the  regional  tournament,  the  final  step  to 
the  CWS.  The  top  seed.  Long  Beach 
State,  ranked  among  the  nation's  elite, 
and  the  Noles  started  off  with  state  rival, 
the  University  of  South  Florida.  The 
team  rallied  in  the  seventh  inning  with

three  runs  to  beat  the  Bulls  4-2.  Third- 
seeded  Notre  Dame  was  the  next 
opponent  and  the  Seminoles  soundly 
defeated  them  l-li.  Senior  Ty  Mueller 
shone  in  front  of  the  home  crowd  as  he  hit 
a  grand  slam  and  also  thre'w  out  the  game- 
winning  run. 

The  third  day 
proved  to  be  a  long  one  for 
the  Seminoles.  In  the  first 
game.  Long  Beach  State 
beat  the  team  4-1.  After 
several  rain  delays, 
Florida  State  finally 
started  the  next  battle,  an 
elimination  game  with 
Notre  Dame  at  10:05  p.m. 
Three  hours  later,  the 
Seminoles  came  up  short 
and  were  eliminated  with  a 
4-3  loss. 

"I've  been  here 
for  five  years,  and  it's  hard 
to  believe  it's 
over,  "Mueller,  one  of  the 
only  two  senior  starters, 
said  as  the  team  played  the 
final  game  of  the  season  at 
Dick  Howser  Stadium. 

However,  the 
future  looked  bright  with 
only  five  players  finishing 
their  college  careers.  The 
majority  of  the  team  would 
be  back  in  1994  to  try  advancing  even 
further  in  post  season  play. 

"This  team  is  so  young  that  only 
good  things  are  in  store  for  these  guys,  " 
Mueller  said.

Seminole^  Calm 

llorida  State  earned 
the  right  to  claim  "state 
champs"  in  baseball. 
Atter  sweeping  Florida 
earlier  in  the  season,  the 
Seminoles  shut  down 
the  Miami  Hurricanes 
in  a  three-game 
weekend  series  pLued 
at  Dick  H  o  w  .s  e  I 
Stadium. 

Paul  Wilson  pitched 
(1  the  hrst  game,  a  7-0 
shutout.  The  score 
went  1-0  all  the  \\a\ 
until  the  eighth  inning, 
when  designated  hittei 
Mike  Schmitz  opened  a 
six  run  rally  with  a  solo 
homer.  Wilson  pitchetl 
a  complete  hve-hillei, 
backed  up  by  detensi\t 
plays  from  the  Seminole 
infield.  His  record 
improved  to  8-2. 

Miami's  frustrations 
continued  in  game  two. 
After  scoring  a  run  in 
the  fourth  inning,  the 
Hurricanes  fell  apart, 
starting  with  the  head 
coach's  ejection  over  a 
controversial  call. 
Plight  was  the  magic 
number,  as  freshman 
pitcher  Jonathan 
Johnson  struck  out 
eight  in  as  many 
innings,  and  the 
Seminole  batters  drove 
in  eight  runs. 

The  sweep  became 
complete  Sunday 
afternoon  as  the 
Seminoles  defeated  the 
'Canes  6-2.  Mickey 
Lopez's  single  brought 
in  two  runs  to  start  a 
four  run  rally  in  the 
fourth.  John  Wasdin 
pitched  7  2/3  innings, 
striking  out  nine  and 
giving  up  two  runs. 
John  Nadeau  came  in 
for  the  save. 

Coach  Martin 
described  the  series  as 
"a  monumental  feat. 
You  just  don't  sweep 
Miami." 

Florida  State,  ranked 
#6  before  the  series, 
jumped  four  notches  to 
the  #2   spot  after  the 


"Beating  Miami 
and  UF  four  times 
each  were  high- 
lights of  our  sea- 
son.   But  our  goal 
is  to  go  back  to 
the  World  Series 
and  try  to  win  it 
all.   That's  our 
goal  every  year.  "-

It  did  not  matter  what 
aspect  of  the  game  one 
looked  at  when  he  studied 
the  Florida  State  softbail 
team,  because  the  Lady 
Seminoles  had  it  all. 
Batting  averages,  home 
runs,  stolen  bases, 
strikeouts,  shutouts,  the 
list  went  on  and  on.  Coach 
Gral's  team  boasted 
dominating  players  that  at 
each  position  played  their 
game  well.  And  when  they 
got  together  as  a  team, 
well,  they  usually  could 
not  be  stopped. 
Much  to  their  opponent's 
dismay,  all  the  factors 
resulted  in  havoc  for  the 
other  teams.  The 
Seminoles  compiled  a  49-6 
record  before  heading  to 
the  NCAA  Regionals.  The 
Regionals  was  the  first 
step  on  the  team  s  quest  lor 
another  trip  to  the  College 
World  Series.  They 
outscored  their  opponents 
304-38  with  36  shutouts. 

Five  of  the  team's  six 
losses  occurred  during 
tournaments,  but  they  also 
added  three  tourney  titles 


under  the  belt.  They  won 
their  own  Lady  Seminole 
Invitational  tournament, 
the  UNC  Invitational,  and 
the  Atlantic  Coast 
Conference 
Championships.  They  also 
won  the  consolation 
bracket  of  the  Pony 
Invitational  in  Fullerton, 
California,  a  tournament 
featuring  most  of  the 
nation's  top  10  teams. 

Because  of  their 
domination  on  all  sides  of 
the  diamond,  the  Lady 
Seminoles  were  definitely 
not  a  one-person  team. 
The  point  was  proved 
further  by  the  variety  of 
names  that  showed  up  on 
the  all-tournament  teams. 
Catcher  Leslie  Adams  w^as 
MVP  of  the  Seminole 
Invitational  with  Leslie 
Barton,  Maria  Looper, 
and  Susan  Buttery  joining 
her  as  honorees.  Toni 
Gutierrez,  a  pitcher,  was 
MVP  of  the  UNC 
Invitational,  and  Leslie 
Barton,  Lisa  Davidson, 
and  Shamalene  Wilson 
made   the   all-tournament 


team. 

Several  members  of  the 
team  showed  up  in  the 
Florida  State  record  books 
as  well.  Susan  Buttery,  the 
top  hitter  with  a  .393 
batting  average,  was  first 
on  the  list  in  At  Bats,  Runs, 
and  Hits  categories. 
Senior  outfielder  Leslie 
Barton  was  number  one  in 
stolen  bases  with  63  and 
RBI's  with  128.  Senior 
Gutierrez  appeared  in  the 
top  four  of  each  pitching 
category  and  was  in 
striking  distance  of  the  top 
spot  in  shutouts  and 
earned  run  average. 

Coach  Graf,  a  Florida 
State  graduate,  finished 
her  fifteenth  season  as 
head  coach  for  the  team, 
compiling  a  702-161-4 
record  (an  .814  winning 
percentage).  For  the 
second  year  in  a  row,  Graf 
received  the  ACC  Coach 
of  the  Year  honor. 

Heading  into  post-seaon 
tournament  play,  the  Lady 
Seminoles  ranked  #6  in  theij 
NCAA  poll  and  #1  in  the 
South  Region.

"We  have  had  a 
great  season  be- 
cause we  were  the 
repeat  champions 
of  every  tourna-

last  year.   I  would

w^as  repeating  as

Another  ring!" 
-Laurie  Shepherd 


The  Lady  Seminol 
Softball  team  won  their 
second  consecutive 
ACC  title  hy 
rebounding  to  defeat 
Virginia  twice  after 
losing  to  them  earlier. 
Playing  four  straight 
games,  the  'Noles 
opened  with  the  1-0 
loss,  the  first  time  they 
had  been  held  scoreless 
in  44  games.  The  next 
opponent  was  Georgia 
Tech  whom  FSU  beat 
earlier  in  the  double- 
elimination 
tournament.  They 
eliminated  the  Lady 
Yellow  Jackets,  12-0. 
The  Seminoles  once 
again  faced  Virginia, 
and  needed  to  win  tw^o 
over  them  to  claim  the 
ACC  title. 

The  first  game  went 
0-0  for  eleven  innings. 
Then  pinch  hitter 
Heather  Feltmann  hit  a 
two-run  homer  which 
won  the  game.  In  the 
championship  game 
the  team  gathered 
many  hits,  with  pitcher 
Toni  Gutierrez 
slamming  a  two-run 
homer  to  seal  the 
victory,  4-2.  The  win 
was  a  landmark  in  that 
it  was  head  coach 
JoAnne  Graf's  700th 
win  at  Florida  State. 
Second  baseman  Lisa 
Davidson  was  named 
tournament  MVP, 
with  teammates  Susan 
Buttery,  Leslie  Barton, 
Heather  Conway, 
Maria  Looper  and 
Gutierrez  joining  her 
on  the  All-Tournament 
team.  Graf  was  named 
ACC  Coach  of  the  Year 
and  Shamalene  Wilson 
was  named  ACC 
Freshman  of  the  Year. 

After  winning  the 
ACC,  the  Lady  'Noles 
set  their  sights  on  the 
NCAA  Regionals  and 
the  College  World 
Series.

Most  collegiate  softball  coaches  would 

^Q  extremely  grateful  to  have  one  pitcher 

with   an   almost  perfect   record  and   an 

learned  Run  Average  in  the  nation's  elite. 

A  coach  would  have  to  thank  his  or  her 

lucky  stars  il  they  had  another  pitcher 

with  eleven  shutouts  and  was  the  ACC 

Player  of  the  Year  her 

junior  year.      But  wait, 

there's  more!    Add  to  that 

duo  another  pitcher  who 

holds  the   NCAA  record 

lor   the    nation's   longest 

winning    streak    of   50 

games.  Sounds  too  good  to 

be    true?       Well,    Lady 

Seminole   softball   coach 

JoAnne    Graf    had    a 

pitching   staff  that   other 

coaches   dreamed   about 

^vith  Maria  Looper,  Toni 

Gutierrez,   and    Rebecca 

Aase. 

"I  w^ouldn't  trade  these 
three  pitchers  for  any 
three  in  the  country,  " 
Coach  Graf  said. 

When  any  of  "these 
three  "  were  on  the  mound, 
the  softball  team  racked  up 
a  49-6  record  before  the 
NCAA  Regionals.  But 
success  did  not  come  easy. 
In  the  1992  season,  Gutierrez  and  Aase 
split  the  playing  time.  Gutierrez  threw 
285  1/3  innings,  while  Aase  pitched  for 
204  2/3  innings.  They  racked  up  a 
remarkable  63-9  record,  but  it  was  a 
heavy  load  for  just  two  of  them,  so  Coach 
Graf  searched    for   another   talented

pitcher  to  Fill  the  starting  rotation. 

Maria  Looper,  a  junior  college  transfer 
from  Crowder  College  in  Missouri,  fit  the 
bill.  The  Oklahoma  City  native  was  MVP 
of  the  Junior  College  Nationals  and  an 
All-American  in  that  same  division. 

The  trio  lived  up  to  the  expectations, 
and  then  some.  Prior  to  the  NCAA 
Regionals,  Gutierrez,  the  lone  senior  of 
the  group,  had  an  .39  ERA  (seventh  in  the 
nation),  a  15-4  record,  and  eleven 
shutouts.  Looper  posted  a  18-1  record, 
the  nation's  #3  ERA  of  .29,  and  thirteen 
shutouts.  Aase,  a  junior,  broke  the 
NCAA  record  in  1992  which  was 
previously  36  wins  without  a  loss.  She 
extended  the  streak  to  50  before  losing  a 
game  in  April.  She  compiled  a  16-1 
record,  .52  ERA  (ranked  #10  nationally) 
and  pitched  twelve  shutouts. 

The  three  of  them  together  set  another 
NCAA  record:  124  2/3  scoreless  innings 
in  a  row.  This  streak  started  Feb.  20  and 
was  snapped  on  March  19.  During  this 
time  they  shut  out  opponents  in  1 7  games. 

How  did  the  "terrific  trio"  feel  about 
splitting  the  pitching  duties  three  ways 
instead  of  two?  "Maria's  definitely  been 
an  asset  to  the  team,"  Aase  said.  "Last 
year,  it  was  game  after  game  after  game. 
Now,  there's  more  time  to  concentrate  on 
other  things." 

Looper  said,  "The  fact  that  there  are 
three  of  us  in  the  rotation  gives  us  the 
opportunity  to  rest  more,  which  allows  us 
to  be  fresher  for  each  game." 

And  it  was  no  question  that  the  coaches 
were  definitely  pleased  with  the  results. 
"It's  a  luxury  to  have  three  pitchers  that 
good,"  pitching  coach  Connie  Clark  said. 

Strike!

A  young  but 
experienced  troupe  took 
to  the  track  for  the 
Seminole  track  and  field 
teams.  On  the  men's  side, 
the  team  was  led  by  pole 
vaulter  Jefl  Bray, 
Jonathon  Carter  and 
Kevin  Ansley  on  sprints, 
distance  runner  Trey 
Culbertson,  Ryan  Carson 
on  shotput  and  discus,  and 
Kelsey  Nash  and  Kevin 
Crist  on  jumps.  Head 
coach  Terry  Long  looked 
forward  to  the  talents  of 
Philip  Riley,  a  standout  ju- 
co  transfer,  also  a  football 
signee.  Unfortunately, 
Riley  battled  a  injury  for 
most  of  the  season,  but  still 
qualified  for  the  NCAA 
Championships. 

1992  All-Americans 
Sheryl  Covington, 
Trinette  Johnson  and 
Patrice  Verdun  led  the 
women's  team.  All- 
American  Karla  Severs 
broke  her  foot  and  could 
not  compete  during  most 
of  the  season.  Other 
returners  included  Cathy 
Erickson     and     Kim 


Stephens  on  throws, 
distance  runner  Tracy 
Pepoon,  and  Indy  Henry 
on  jumps. 

The  track  and  field 
season  consisted  of  two 
schedules,  an  indoor 
schedule  from  January  to 
March  and  outdoor  meets 
from  March  to  June. 
During  indoors,  the  men's 
team  placed  third  at  the 
ACC  Championships,  and 
took  four  individuals  to  the 
NCAA's:  Bray,  Ansley, 
Carter,  and  Riley.  At  the 
ACC,  Bray  equaled  his 
conference  pole  vault 
record  of  18  feet,  6.5 
inches,  and  Kevin  Crist 
won  the  high  jump.  On 
the  women's  side,  Trinette 
Johnson  also  set  an  ACC 
record  by  leaping  2 1  feet,  2 
inches  in  the  long  jump. 
Covington  qualified  for 
the  NCAA's  by  running 
season-best  times  in  the  55 
and  200  meter  dashes. 

Outdoors,  the  Seminoles 
had  strong  show^ings  with 
many  first  place  finishes. 
At  the  Florida  Relays  both 
men's   4x100   and   4x-400 


teams  took  first,  and 
sophomore  Felicia  Evans 
won  the  women's  triple 
jump.  Mark  Anderson 
won  the  shotput  at  the 
FSU  relays.  At  the  Don 
Kirby  Invitational  in  New 
Mexico,  Tim  Franklin 
won  the  400m  hurdles 
with  a  season-best  time, 
Covington  won  two  races, 
Peggy  Armand  won  the 
high  hurdles  and  Indy 
Henry  took  the  high  jump. 
Johnson  captured  first  in 
long  jump  at  the  Run-Tex 
Invitational  in  Austin, 
Texas. 

As  a  team,  the  best 
performance  came  at  the 
Spring  Classic  held  at 
Mike  Long  Track.  Both 
men  and  women  finished 
first,  the  men  with  ten  first 
place  finishes  and  the 
w^omen  with  eleven.  Both 
teams  finished  fourth  at 
the  ACC  outdoor 
championships  and 
looked  forward  to  sending 
several  team  members  to 
the  NCAA  and  TAC 
championships  that  took 
place  in  June.

To  opposing  teams, 
they  meant  double 
trouble,  one  on  the 
track  and  the  other  on 
the  field.  They  were 
Sheryl  Covington  and 
Trinette  Johnson, 
ACC  Champs  and  All- 
Americans. 

Covington,  a  junior 
from  Winter  Haven, 
Florida,  ran  the  55, 
100,  200,  and  400 
meter  dashes.  She  took 
first  place  in  the  55- 
meter  event  at  the 
Northern  Arizona 
Invitational  and  was 
the  ACC  Champion  in 
that  event.  She  sped  to 
first  in  the  100-meter 
dash  twice,  and  four 
times  in  her  most 
successful  event,  the 
200-meters.  She  also 
won  the  400  at  the 
Springtime 
Invitational  held  at 
Mike  Long  Track. 

Johnson's  event  was 
the  long  jump.  The 
senior  from  Detroit, 
Michigan  won  the 
event  several  times 
during  the  indoor  and 
outdoor  seasons, 
including  both  ACC 
Championships. 
During  the  indoor 
competition,  she  set  an 
ACC  indoor  long  jump 
record  with  a  distance 
of  21  feet,  2  inches.  At 
the  outdoor  meet  she 
bettered  that  mark  by 
jumping  21  feet,  6 
inches.. 

Both  Covington  and 
Johnson  qualified  for 
the  NCAA 

Championships  in 
June  and  looked 
forward  to  the  1996 
Olympic  Games  in 
Atlanta.

The  men's  track  and  field  team  was 
blessed  with  one  of  the  nation's  top  pole 
\aulters.  Jeff  Bray  had  the  highest 
collegiate  jump  m  the  country  two  weeks 
Ijefore  the  NCAA  Championships.  While 
a  Seminole,  Bray  broke  several  records 
mcluding  the  school  record  and  ACC 
record  of  18  feet,  6.5 
inches. 

The  two-time  All- 
Amencan  rubbed  elbows 
with  some  of  the  best  while 
gaining  world  class  status 
as  apole  vaulter.  During  a 
competition  in  Europe, 
Bray  roomed  with  the 
1992  Olympic  silver 
medalist  from  Russia. 
"Europe  was  a  completely 
different  experience,"  said 
Bray,  who  planned  to 
return  to  Europe  later  in 
the  season.  "It  gave  me 
experience  against 
someone  who  has  jumped 
19  feet,  so  I've  learned  not 
to  worry  about  other 
people  and  to  concentrate 
on  myself.  " 

Bray  discovered  the  pole 
vault,  one  of  the  most 
difficult  track  and  field 
events,  in  the  sixth  grade 
while  residing  in  Texas.  They  took  us 
outside  and  tried  everybody  at  different 
events,"  Bray  recalled.  He  jumped  seven 
leet  in  the  sixth  grade  and  joined  a 
traveling  team.  In  eighth  grade  his  family 
moved  to  Oklahoma  where  he  met  one  of 
the   most   prominent   high   school   track 


feet,  7  inches  in  high  school  —  his  highest 
at  the  time. 

One  positive  aspect  of  the  season  was 
that  he  stayed  healthy.  Injuries  plagued 
Bray  in  the  past.  A  stress  fracture  caused 
Bray  to  just  miss  a  spot  on  the  1992 
Olympic  team.  "  It  was  really  depressing,  ' 
Bray  said.  "I  didn't  want  to  talk  to 
anybody.  1  just  wanted  to  crawl  into  a 
hole." 

Since  then  Bray  bounced  back.  Tough 
ACC  competition  spurned  him  to  do 
better.  "In  big  meets  I  jump  the  extra  few 
inches  to  win.  "  Bray  handled  the  pressure 
well  and  excelled  all  season  because  of  it. 
At  a  meet  in  Gainesville  Bray  beat  out  the 
favorite  to  win  nationals  in  May.  That  was 
where  he  had  the  highest  collegiate  jump 
of  the  year.  "It's  a  confidence  booster  to 
beat  a  favorite  like  that,  "  Bray  said.  "That 
was  one  of  the  highlights  of  the  year." 

Another  highlight  of  Bray's  college 
career  was  a  3.5  GPA.  Bray,  a  physical 
education  major,  planned  to  pursue  a 
master's  degree  in  Sports  Administration 
or  Exercise  Psychology,  hoping  to 
become  a  college  coach.  "Track  has 
taught  me  responsibility  and  good  work 
habits, "  Bray  said.  His  rigorous  schedule 
and  competition  prepared  him  for  life 
after  pole  vaulting. 

Bray  saw  himself  clearing  19  feet  in  the 
near  future,  peaking  at  the  perfect  time  for 
nationals  and  TAC's  in  Oregon  where  he 
hoped  to  make  the  World  team.  The  1996 
Olympics  were  also  in  the  future  as  well. 
Hard  work  and  dedication  made  Jeff 
Bray  one  of  the  nation's  best  in  collegiate 
track  and  field.

The  men's  golf  team 
went  from  as  low  as  65th  in 
the  nation  to  breaking  into 
the  Top  20  before  the 
regional  tournament,  with 
returning  starters  Bobby 
Cochran,  Christian 
Ray  nor  and  three 
newcomers  Keith  Rick, 
Jason  Williams  and  Ryan 
Perna. 

The  men  participated  in 
three  tournaments  during 
the  tall,  ending  with  a 
second  place  finish  at  the 
Florida  Intercollegiate 
Championships.  During 
the  spring  they  placed  in 
the  top  six  in  five  of  seven 
tournaments.  One 
highlight  of  the  spring 
occurred  at  the 
Southeastern  Collegiate 
Invitational,  where  the 
men  putted  to  first  place.  It 
was  their  first  title  in  two 
years.  The  team  placed 
second  at  the  Florida 
Sou  thern/Impena  Lakes 
Golf  Classic,  the  site  where 
senior  Bobby  Cochran 
won  the  individual  title. 

Cochran  was  not  the  only 
achiever,  however. 
Christian  Raynor  played 
solid  with  two  top  ten 
finishes.    In  the  fall,  Keith 


Rick  was  named  to  the  All- 
State  team  and  finished  in 
the  top  five  at  the  Florida 
Intercollegiate.  Ryan 
Perna  had  a  second  place 
finish  at  the  state 
Intercollegiate,  third  at 
the  Gator  Invitational  and 
third  at  the  Southeastern. 
Jason  Williams  struggled 
in  the  fall,  but  finished 
ninth  at  the  Queen's 
Harbor  Intercollegiate  to 
capture  his  first  Top  Ten  as 
a  Seminole. 

The  men's  golf  team 
struggled  in  the  ACC 
Championships,  placing 
eighth.  But  all  five  starters 
returned,  giving  them  a 
experienced  group  to 
work  Nvith  in  the  future. 

The  women's  team 
started  strong  in  the  fall, 
placing  in  the  top  fiive  in 
three  tournaments.  They 
placed  fifth  in  the  Lady 
Seminole  Invitational, 
fifth  in  the  Duke  Fall 
Invitational  and  third  in 
the  Beacon  Woods/USF 
Invitational.  In  the  Duke 
tournament,  the  team 
finished  only  one  stroke 
shy  of  fourth  place. 

The  spring  season 
consisted     of     five 


tournaments,  the  ACC 
and  NCAA  Tournaments. 
In  the  Lady  Gator 
Invitational  the  team 
placed  fifth.  Ranked  #24 
in  the  nation,  they  headed 
to  California  for  the  San 
Jose  State  /Jostens 
Invitational,  where  they 
placed  eighth.  The  team 
brought  home  second 
place  from  the  LSU/ 
Fairwood  Invitational, 
and  third  from  the  Ryder/ 
Florida  Golf 
Championships  held  in 
Miami.  Junior  Maria 
Castelucci  had  the  low 
score  for  the  team, 
finishing  fourth.  In  the 
ACC  Championships,  the 
Lady  Seminoles  finished 
fourth.  Kelly  Pittman 
placed  sixth  individually. 

To  receive  an  bid  to  the 
NCAA  Tournament,  a 
team  had  to  finish  the 
season  as  one  of  the  top 
eight  teams  in  their  region. 
The  Lady  Seminoles 
competed  in  the  NCAA 
East  Regional 
Championships  in  mid- 
May  and  their 
performance  there  would 
indicate  if  they  moved  on 
to  the  national  finals.

Cochran  Captured 


From  Cordova, 
Tennessee,  Bobby 
Cochran  came  to 
Florida  State  and  made 
quite  an  impact  on  the 
men's  golf  team.  In  the 
spring,  he  captured  his 
first  career  victory  at 
the  Florida  Southern/ 
ImperiaLakes  Golf 
Classic  in  Lakeland.  It 
was  the  first  individual 
title  won  by  a  Seminole 
since  1989.  Cochran 
shot  a  68-69-70,  three 
strokes  below  the 
second  place  finisher. 
The  men's  team 
captured  second  place 
in  that  tournament. 

But  Cochran,  a 
senior  finance  major, 
was  not  a  one- 
tournament  wonder. 
He  played  consistently 
and  finished  high  all 
season  long.  In  the  fall, 
he  placed  tenth  at  the 
Dixie  Intercollegiate 
and  seventh  at  the 
Florida 
Intercollegiate.  He 
placed  third  in  the 
Augusta/Cleveland 
Classic  and  broke  a 
course  record  along  the 
way.  In  the  second 
round  ol  that 
tournament,  he  shot  a 
65,  which  was  a  second 
round  low  for  the 
Classic.  He  finished 
ninth  at  the 
Southeastern 
Intercollegiate 
Invitational,  where 
Florida  State  took 
home  the  team  title. 
Cochran  also  finished 
eighteenth  at  the  ACC 
Championships,  the 
highest  finish  for  a 
Seminole.

Canadian-born  golfer 
both  in  Canada  and 

As  a  young  child,  senior  Marie-Josee' 
Rouleau  could  never  have  imagined 
herself  as  a  Florida  State  golfer  or  the 
winner  of  the  1992  Canadian  Amateur 
National  Championship. 

The  Canadian-born  goUer  scored  77)  on 
each  of  her  first  three  rounds,  then  shot 
four  consecutive  birdies  to  score  a  course 
record  68  and  took  the 
win.  That  win  gave 
Rouleau  the  opportunity 
to  represent  British 
Columbia,  Canada  in  the 
World  Amateur  Team 
Championship.  The 
Canadian  team  placed 
tenth  in  that  tournament. 
Rouleau  said  of  the 
experience,  "It  was  a  great 
feeling  to  represent  my 
country." 

Rouleau  also  received  the 
Score  Award,  given  to  the 
best  amateur  golfer  in 
Canada. 

Until  the  age  of  thirteen 
when  she  began  to  become 
interested  in  golf,  she  only 
envisioned  her  future  as  a 
swimmer  because  that  was 
her  sport  at  that  age.  Her 
parents  had  a  lot  to  do  with 
Rouleau's  sudden  interest 
in  golf,  and  living  on  a  golf 
course  provided  an  excellent  opportunity 
to  learn  and  develop  the  sport. 

The  times  changed  from  her  days  as  a 
curiousyoung  girl  eager  to  try  a  new  sport 
into  days  having  an  Amateur  National 
Championship  under  her  belt.  Rouleau,  a 


dhoivcajcd  her  ability 
in  the  United  Stated 

marketing  major,  transferred  to  Florida 
State  from  Lamar  University  in  Texas. 
She  transferred  to  FSU  to  be  closer  to  her 
parents,  who  have  a  home  in  Florida,  and 
because  she  felt  this  school  had  high 
standards  both  in  athletics  and 
academics.  She  herself  exemplified  those 
standards,  as  she  was  named  to  the  All- 
ACC  golf  team. 

"Florida  State  has  one  of  the  nicest 
school  spirits  that  I've  seen  around," 
Rouleau  said. 

Time  on  the  golf  course  for  her  was  not 
spent  just  working  on  the  mechanics  of 
her  swing,  it  is  a  time  when  she  can 
"escape  from  everyday  problems,  "  and 
can  spend  time  thinking  of  self-set  goals. 
Though  she  approaches  golf  with  a 
relaxed  attitude,  her  ability  and 
leadership  on  the  golf  team  is  evident. 
Leaderhship  to  Rouleau  is  not  telling 
someone  what  to  do,  but  rather  setting  an 
example.  "My  teammates  look  up  to  me 
and  respect  me,"  Rouleau  said. 

Women's  golf  coach  Debbie  Miles- 
Dillman  approaches  golf  with  the  same 
attitude  as  Rouleau  by  being  more  of  an 
emotional  supporter  than  a  technical 
coach.  This  was  a  positive  aspect  of  their 
relationship  and  was  what  influenced 
Rouleau  to  be  that  type  of  leader. 

Marie-Josee  Rouleau,  a  senior, 
planned  to  keep  golfing  as  an  amateur  and 
eventually  join  the  professional  ranks. 
After  graduation,  she  also  planned  to 
spend  time  with  her  boyfriend  of  two 
years,  Stephen  Noteboom.  Noteboom, 
from  the  Netherlands,  graduated  from 
Florida  State  the  year  before  and  was 
competing  on  the  professional  tennis  tour.

Both  men's  and  women's 
tennis  teams  faced  stiff 
competition,  in  and  out  oi 
the  conference,  and  once 
again  had  successful 
seasons. 

The  outlook  for  the  Lady 
Seminole  tennis  team  could 
only  have  been  described 
as  bright.  With  one  senior, 
a  core  group  of  juniors,  and 
a  talented  crop  of 
freshman,  head  coach  Alice 
Reen  was  understandably 
optimistic  about  the 
season. 

Juniors  Audra  Brannon 
and  Laura  Randmaa 
excelled  in  the  fall,  earning 
regional  and  national 
rankings  both  individually 
and  as  a  doubles  team. 

In  the  spring,  the  Lady 
Seminoles  compiled  a  12-8 
record,  5-2  in  the  ACC. 
They  faced  eight  Top  25 
teams  and  defeated  two. 
North  Carolina  and 
Virginia.  Juniors 
Brannon,  Randmaa, 
Jenny  Graf,  and  Jennifer 
Hyde  brought  the  most 
experience  to  the  team. 
Freshmen  Bresha  Byrd 
and  Eike  Juul  contributed 
at  the  #3-#6  singles  spots. 
The   #1    doubles   team   of 


Brannon/Randmaa 
compiled  a  15-3  record, 
while  the  #2  team  of  Graf/ 
Hyde  went  1 1-5. 

As  in  the  fall,  Audra 
Brannon  emerged  as  the 
player  to  beat  on  the 
Florida  State  tennis 
circuit.  During  the  season 
she  was  61st  in  the 
Intercollegiate  Tennis 
Association  (ITA) 
rankings.  She  also  won 
the  ITA  Regional  Arthur 
Ashe  award  based  on 
sportsmanship  and 
character. 

The  men's  tennis  team 
also  had  a  core  group  of 
talented  athletes 
returning.  Junior  Ken 
McKenzie,  sophomore 
Brian  Stanton,  and  lone 
senior  Rick  Jacob  played 
the  #l-#3  singles  spots 
and  also  the  #1-2  doubles 
teams  along  \v  i  t  h 
freshman  Jason  White. 

The  men's  started  the 
fall  with  a  bang  at  the 
Seminole  Fall  Classic. 
McKenzie  w^on  the  singles 
competition,  while 
Stanton  and  Jacob  took 
the  doubles  title. 

During  spring,  the 
men's  team  won  the  first 


SIX  matches  and  finished 
16-7,  6-2  in  the  ACC.  They 
defeated  two  ranked 
opponents  —  Clemson  and 
Miami.  In  addition  to  the 
returners,  junior  Dean 
Erlich,  transfer  Drew 
Kirkley  and  Art  Martinez, 
and  freshmen  White, 
Adam  Baron,  and  Scott 
Schuhriemann  all  saw 
playing  time  in  singles  and 
doubles  matches. 

Heading  into  the  ACC 
Championships,  both 
men's  and  women's  teams 
were  seeded  third,  and 
both  followed  the  same 
route  through  the 
tournament.  The  men 
defeated  Clemson  in  the 
first  round  5-2,  while  the 
women  edged  UNC  5-4. 
The  men  then  lost  to  the  #2 
UNC  in  the  semifinals, 
while  the  women's 
competition  ended  with 
Clemson.  Both  teams 
finished  third  as  expected. 

Three  Seminoles  made 
the  All-ACC  team:  Audra 
Brannon,  Laura 
Randmaa,  and  Brian 
Stanton.  Brannon 
continued  her  season  with 
a  berth  in  the  NCAA 
Championships  in  May.

"The  highlights  of 
our  season  defi- 
nitely included 
finishing  third 
place  in  the  ACC

The  popularity  and 
talent  level  of  the  tennis 
program  at  Florida 
State  rose  significantly  S 
within  the  past  few 
years.  To  support  that 
growth,  the  tennis 
teams  needed  bigger 
and  better  facilities. 
Construction  started  on 
a  new  state-of-the-art 
tennis  center  to  house 
both  the  men's  and 
women's  teams.  The 
center  featured  12 
lighted  courts,  a  1,300 
seat  stadium,  coaches' 
offices  and  locker 
rooms. 

"It  will  probably  be 
the  most  lunctional 
facility  in  the  country 
because  it  was  designed 
for  collegiate  tennis,  " 
men's  coach  Dave 
Barron  said. 

The  facility  was 
named  the  Scott 
Speicher  Tennis 
Center.  Lieutenant 
Commander  Michael 
Scott  Speicher  was  the 
first  American  killed  in 
Operation  Desert 
Storm.  Since  he 
graduated  from  Florida 
State,  the  University 
chose  to  honor  and 
remember  Speicher  by 
naming  the  new  tennis 
facilities  after  him. 

Construction  on  the 
center  was  not 
completed  until  the 
summer.  So  the  tennis

Both  the  men's  and  women's  tennis 
teams  racked  up  the  honors  on  the  court 
as  well  as  off.    They  came  up  big  at  the 
second  annual  Golden  Torch  Gala  held  in 
November.    The  black  tie  affair  honored 
Seminole  athletes  who  maintained  high 
grades   while   participating   in   varsity 
athletics.   The  highlights  of  the  evening's 
awards  presentation  were 
the     awards     lor     the 
Outstanding    Scholar- 
Athletes    of   the    Year. 
Tennis    players    Amy 
Hanby  and   Hiro   Takata 
took  the  Gala's  top  honors 
with  the  highest  male  and 
female  GPA's  among  350 

W"" "*        athletes.  Each  of  the  tennis 

teams  boasted  the  highest 
GPA's  of  all  the 
university's  sports  teams 
with  the  women  s  GPA 
being  a  3.06  and  the  men's 
a  3.01.  The  men's  team 
had  a  tradition  to  uphold. 
It  was  the  second  time  they 
had  earned  this 
prestigious  honor  in  as 
many  years.  They  also  had 
the  highest  GPA  for  four 
years  prior  to  the  Gala. 

Hanby  and  Takata  both 
led  their  teams  by 
example.  Hanby's 
teammates  voted  her  to  receive  the  110 
Percent  award  for  her  commitment  and 
determination  to  her  team  and  the  sport. 
She  also  excelled  in  Florida  State's

perfect  4.0  grade  point  average. 

For  the  tennis  program,  academics 
were  the  priority.  School  came  first. 
Tennis  second.  Women's  tennis  coach 
Alice  Reen  said,  "One  of  the  first  priorities 
I  try  to  instill  when  an  athlete  comes  to 
FSU  is  the  need  to  strive  for  academic 
excellence.  Their  accomplishments  in  the 
classroom  are  a  genuine  concern  for  me 
and  a  responsibility  that  I  gladly  accept.  " 
She  had  some  help.  Seminole  athletes 
were  the  beneficiaries  of  one  of  the 
nation's  premier  academic  support 
systems.  A  lull  time  staff  assisted 
incoming  student-athletes  and  helped 
them  adjust  to  college  life.  They 
continued  to  aid  them  throughout  their 
academic  careers.  In  addition  to  the 
support  staff,  all  athletes  had  access  to  a 
study  hall  very  conducive  to  learning. 
Free  tutors  were  also  available. 

Men's  tennis  coach  Dave  Barron  was 
proud  of  his  team's  accomplishments  on 
and  off  the  court.  He  believed  there  was 
a  strong  correlation  between  tennis  and 
other  aspects  of  student  life.  If  things  are 
going  bad  off  the  court  it  will  affect  the 
athlete's  performance.  "It's  pretty 
evident  that  these  guys  take  their 
academics  just  as  serious  as  their 
athletics,  "  he  said.  "It's  something  I  want 
to  see  accomplished  by  these  student-

""Academics  has  always  been  our 
highest  team  goal,"  Coach  Reen  said. 
Both  men's  and  women's  tennis  teams' 
perseverance  showed  how  a  group  could 
be  the  epitome  of  both  scholars  and 
athletes.

What  did  students  do 
during  their  free  time  to 
have  fun?  There  were 
many  answers  to  that 
question.  But  no  matter 
how  athletically  skilled  or 
klutzy  students  may  have 
been,  they  could  always 
get  involved  in  intramural 
sports. 

In  the  fall,  students 
competed  in  flag  tootball, 
with  the  Players  taking  the 
all-campus  championship. 
In  volleyball,  lOE 
captured  the  crown.  The 
team  Body  Count  brought 
home  the  soccer  title,  and 
Legal  Noles  won  the 
women's  soccer 
championship.  In  field 
goal  kicking,  both  Sean 
Scheller  and  Greg 
Gendron  kicked  55  yards 
and  tied  for  the  win. 

On  the  courts,  Steve 
Huber  and  Jennifer 
Gedeon  took  the 
individual  advanced  tennis 
titles,  with  ZTA  winning 
the  sorority  division.  In 
racquetball  Todd  Peterson 
and  Angie  Lund  won  the 
men's  and  women's  titles. 
OZK  won  the  Gold 
fraternity  division,  and 
AXA    won    the    Garnet 


division. 

On  a  smaller  court, 
Chinghu  Tseng  won  men's 
table  tennis  and  Chen 
Yuan  won  women's.  ZOE 
won  over  all  fraternities. 

In  bowling,  Melissa 
Martin  took  the  women's 
title,  with  Steven  Hoeft 
capturing  the  men's. 
Wrestling  saw  OK4^  win 
the  Gold  and  ZO  taking  the 
Garnet  division.  The 
Reservation  Run  was  a 
popular  IM  event  and 
John  De  Grummond  won 
the  annual  race. 

The  intramurals 
schedule  for  spring  was 
just  as  busy  as  fall.  The 
Hoopsters  took  the  all- 
campus  championship  in 
basketball  and  the  Lemon 
Shots  won  the  women's 
title.  In  sand  volleyball, 
FIJI  won  the  fraternity 
division,  KKF  won  the 
sorority  division.  Dig  This 
won  the  women's 
competition,  and  Michael 
Hurley  and  A.  Espino 
spiked  their  way  to  the  all- 
campus  championship. 

A  sport  that  involved  a 
lot  of  students  was  softball. 
Cawthon  Supporters  won 
the  residence  hall  division, 


with  the  Bat  Girls  taking 
the  women's  title.  ATQ 
\vas  the  all-campus 
champion. 

In  co-rec  innertube 
water  polo,  a  team  made  up 
of  members  from  the  FSU 
Circus  won  overall. 
Allison  Nygren  won  the 
loul  shooting  contest  for 
the  women,  with  a  seven- 
way  tie  occurring  for  the 
men.  Dean  Reilly  took 
first  place  in  squash.  In 
putt-putt  golf,  Rob 
Dawson  and  XQ  were  the 
big  winners. 

Swimming  and  track  and 
field  both  consisted  of 
many  events,  but  ZOE  and 
ZX  were  the  fraternity 
winners,  and  AXQ 
emerged  as  sorority 
champs.  ZO  and  OZK 
were  the  overall  winners  in 
the  IM  track  meet,  but  the 
team  Three  Brothers  and  a 
White  Man  won  the  4x  1 00 
relay. 

Champions  or  not, 
students  experienced 
relaxation  and  relief  from 
classes,  studying  and 
stress  by  swimming,  putt- 
putting,  kicking,  bowling, 
etc. .through  the 
intramurals  program.

So  you  loved  to  play 
basketball,  but  you're 
only  5  "5  and  Pat 
Kennedy  wasn't  exactly 
beating  down  your 
door?  Or  maybe  sand 
volleyball  was  your 
sport  but  Sinjin  Smith 
had  not  discovered  you 
on  the  beaches  yet? 
Most  likely,  you  were 
just  a  student  who 
enjoyed  sports  and 
wanted  to  get  involved. 
The  best  and  most 
popular  -way  to  do  that 
was  through  intramural 
sports,  commonly 
known  as  "IM". 

A  wide  variety  of 
sports  were  offered 
throughout  the  entire 
year,  even  during  the 
summer.  If  there  was  a 
sport  not  offered  by  the 
IM  program,  all  a 
student  had  to  do  was 
let  them  know  about  it. 
The  intramurals  staff 
encouraged  new  ideas.

Intramurai  basketball  player  beaU  the 
buzzer  to  win  $10,000  in  shooting  content 


when  Kyle  Biggerstaff  arrived  at  the 
Civic  Center  for  the  Florida  State-Duke 
basketball  game  on  Jan.  24,  he  did  not 
realize  that  he  would  leave  $  1 0,000  richer. 
Biggerstaff  also  did  not  know  it  would  be 
so  easy  to  get  a  chance  at  w^inning  the 
money. 

"I  went  to  a  table  in  the  concourse  and 
filled  out  a  card  that  was 
put  into  a  box.  Two  names 
were  picked  out  of  it  and 
mine  was  one  of  them," 
Biggerstaff  said. 

The  graduate  student 
had  signed  up  for  a 
halftime  contest,  and  those 
whose  names  were  drawn 
had  the  opportunity  to  win 
$10,000  by  completing  a 
layup,  a  free  throw,  a  three 
point  shot  and  a  shot  from 
midcourt  in  30  seconds. 
Quite  a  task  for  someone 
who  was  "sweating  and 
nervous"  as  he  descended 
the  steps  to  the  court. 

"But  as  soon  as  I  got  the 
ball  in  my  hands  I  calmed 
down.  When  I  let  go  of  the 
ball    (for   the    halfcourt 
shot),  it  looked  like  it  was 
going    in    but    then    the 
buzzer     w^ent     off," 
Biggerstaff  said. 
How^ever,   the   shot   counted   and 
Biggerstaff  was   given   the   choice   of 
$10,000  or  a  Ford  Mustang.  Although  he 
considered   taking   the   car,    his   wife 
Rachel,   encouraged   him  to  accept  the 
money  instead. 


"I'm  buying  a  computer  and  we're 
putting  the  rest  in  the  bank,  "  Biggerstaff 
said. 

The  money  was  a  pleasant  surprise  to 
Biggerstaff  who  pursued  a  doctorate  in 
exercise  physiology  and  wanted  to 
become  a  college  professor.  For  his 
assistantship  he  ran  a  fitness  program 
with  the  Tallahassee  Fire  Department 
and  received  a  small  salary  and  tuition 
waiver. 

This  basketball  game  hosted  the  second 
largest  crowd  in  the  college's  history. 
Although  Biggerstaff  had  played  before 
an  audience  as  a  member  of  an  intramural 
team.  The  Sprockets,  he  had  never 
performed  in  front  of  13,333  people. 

"I'd  never  been  in  front  of  so  many 
screaming  people.  Immediately  after  I'd 
made  the  shot,  I  felt  such  a  rush," 
Biggerstaff  said. 

The  audience  was  also  stunned  by  the 
night's  events.  They  were  excited  about 
the  Seminoles'  lead  over  the  Blue  Devils 
as  well  as  their  fellow  student's 
accomplishment. 

"Everyone  was  screaming  and  out  of 
control.  My  friends  and  I  couldn't  believe 
we  just  w^atched  this  guy  win  $1 0,000. 
The  buzzer  went  off  and  he  ran  around 
the  court  waving  his  arms.  It  was 
incredible,  "  junior  Michelle  Pinto  said. 

Biggerstaff  received  some  teasing  from 
his  Sprocket  teammates  but  all  in  fun. 
They  wanted  him  to  shoot  from  midcourt 
more  often.  But  he  was  the  first  to  admit 
that  the  shot  was  "definitely  luck.  " 

"The  team  was  real  excited  for  me. 
NoAV  they  want  me  to  take  them  all  out,  " 
Biggerstaff  said. 

Over  the  Top 

During  the  IM  track  meet,  a 
student  tries  his  skills  on  the 
high  jump.  Jeffrey  Obos  won 
the  event.  The  meet  included  all 
track  and  field  events  and  was 
open  to  individuals  and  teams.

CL 


LLI LiJC  seemed  to  be  the  word  for  the  year  for  the 
University's  Greek  system.  Not  wanting  to  remain  stagnant, 
Greeks  made  necessary  changes  to  improve  their  image  from 
previous  semesters. 

The  sorority  rush  program  ^vas  hit  the  hardest  with  new 
rules  and  requirements.  Budgets  were  hmited,  skits  and 
outside  decorations  were  downplayed  and  lawn  routines  were 
eliminated  to  encourage  members  to  interact  more  with  the 
rushees.  Sorority  pledge  programs  also  refocused;  some 
limited  pledging  programs  while  others  revised  officer  titles, 
job  descriptions  and  by-laws. 

Pan  Greek  hosted  the  most  extensive  Extravaganza  to 
date,  raised  funds  to  attend  the  Black  Leadership  Conference 
and  earned  several  stepping  competition  titles. 

The  Loop  Spring  Challenge  offered  an  outlet  for  Greeks 
to  come  together  philanthropically.  Greeks  raised  over  $60,000 
for  each  of  their  philanthropies.  Sigma  Chi  recognized  the 
tremendous  impact  AIDS  had  on  this  generation  and  changed 
their  philanthropy  to  benefit  AIDS  education  and  support. 

The  year  began  with  a  shift  in  fraternity  housing  for 
various  reasons  and  it  ended  on  the  same  note.  Change  seemed 
to  serve  as  a  ne^v  order  of  Inunnejj.

Rushing 


For 


Success 


Rush  not  only  served  as  an  opportunity  for  fraternities  and 
sororities  to  seek  out  new  members.  It  was  also  the  chance  tor  students 
as  a  whole  to  discover  what  the  Greek  system  was  all  about. 

Fraternity  rush  was  a  week  long  event  that  began  with  an 
information  meeting  and  was  followed  by  open  parties  the  remainder  of 
the  week.  Each  fraternity  held  parties  at  their  respective  houses  which 
were  open  to  all  students.  These  parties  gave  perspectives  a  chance  to 
see  what  each  fraternity  had  to  offer  and  decided  which,  if  any,  best  met 
their  needs.  One  of  the  main  purposes  of  a  rush  party  was  to  provide 
the  perspectives  with  as  much  information  about  the  fraternity  as 
possible. 

Fraternities  enticed  the  student  population  as  a  whole  to  attend 
these  rush  parties.  Each  competed  to  have  the  best  entertainment  and 
food  offerings  for  the  evening  by  booking  local  bands  or  the  Golden 
Girls  to  perform  and  having  food  donated  from  local  establishments. 

During  the  week  fraternities  began  giving  out  bids,  which  were 
invitations  to  join  the  fraternity.  When  a  bid  was  received,  it  did  not 
mean  that  perspective  was  obligated  to  join  that  fraternity,  it  was  merely 
an  invitation.    Fraternity  rush  officially  ended  on  Saturday. 

"Receiving  a  bid  is  the  first  step  in  becoming  a  full  fledged 
member  of  a  fraternity,"  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  brother  Mike  Masterman- 
Smith  said. 

While  fraternity  rush  was  considered  to  be  an  informal  rush, 
sorority  rush  was  just  the  opposite.  Formal  sorority  rush  was  much 
more  structured  and  to  participate,  one  had  to  register  and  pay  a  rush 
fee.  Sorority  rush  was  also  a  week  long  process  but  varied  a  great  deal 
from  fraternity  rush. 

Like  fraternity  rush,  sorority  rush  began  with  an  information 
meeting  on  Sunday.  Those  participating  were  split  into  rush  groups  and 
assigned  to  a  Rho  Chi.  I^o  Chis  were  preselected  members  of  sororities 
who  agreed  to  disassociate  themselves  for  the  entire  week  of  rush  and 
serve  as  unbiased  counselors  to  the  rushees. 

On  Monday  and  Tuesday,  rushees  visited  each  sorority  house 
for  ice  water  socials.  They  \vere  called  ice  w^aters  because  the  sororities 
served  ice  water  to  combat  Tallahassee's  sweltering  August  heat  while 
they  gave  the  rush  groups  general  information  about  their  individual 
sorority.    At  the  conclusion  of  the  day,  rushees  returned  to  their  rush

Rush  163

groups  and  prioritized  which  houses  they  wanted  to  return  to. 

"Ice  waters  were  very  overwhelming.  You  try  to  remember  everyone's 
name  and  try  to  decide  in  a  very  short  amount  ot  time  it  that  is  a  house  you  want  to 
return  to,  "  fall  rushee  Laura  Koeler  said. 

On  Wednesday  and  Thursday,  each  rushee  visited  no  more  than  nine  of  the 
16  sororities  and  was  given  a  tour  of  each  house  along  with  an  information  sheet 
which  outlined  in  detail  the  financial  obligations  of  sorority  membership.  After  the 
last  tour  of  the  day,  rushees  returned  to  their  rush  groups  and  once  again  prioritized 
the  sororities. 

On  Friday,  rushees  attended  a  maximum  of  five  sororities.  This  gave  the 
rushees  more  time  to  ask  questions  and  meet  individual  members.  On  this  day,  skits 
were  performed  to  better  educate  the  rushees  about  the  sorority.  At  the  conclusion 
of  the  day,  rushees  returned  to  their  rush  groups  to  prioritize  their  choices  once  again. 

"Skit  day  was  very  exciting  because  it  gave  us  a  much  clearer  perception  of 
what  the  sororities  were  really  like,  "  rushee  Sara  Nieporent  said. 

Through  a  mutual  selection  process,  rushees  focused  on  no  more  than  three 
sororities  by  Saturday.  Preferential  parties  gave  an  opportunity  for  more  one-on-one 
interaction  and  these  parties  were  the  most  important  because  here  w^as  where  the 
final  choices  regarding  membership  were  made.  Sororities  were  only  allowed  to 
extend  a  certain  number  of  bids. 

Final  selection  took  place  in  Moore  Auditorium.  Rushees'  choices  -were 
filled  out  in  complete  silence  and  it  was  Sunday  before  they  found  out  which  sorority 
selected  them  to  join.  With  card  in  hand,  each  girl  went  to  her  new  home  and  was 
greeted  by  her  sisters. 

"  Each  class  represents  a  new  portion  ot  the  sorority  and  that  gives  all  of  us, 
new  and  old,  a  new  outlook  on  the  future,  "  Alpha  Gamma  Delta  sister  Ann  Kemper 
said.

The 


When  the  University's  Interfraternity  Council  implemented 
"dry"  rush  (non-alcoholic)  in  1986,  t\\e  Animal Hoiu<e  image  ol  Greeks 
began  to  lade.  This  past  year's  IFC  and  Panhellenic  Association 
developed  new  rules  and  ideas  to  increase  student  involvement  and 
retention  in  upcoming  rushes. 

One  of  these  brainstorms  resulted  a  new  organization  called 
Greek  Ambassadors.  The  new^  troupe  of  Ambassadors  were  Greeks 
who  visited  high  school  students  in  their  hometowns  in  May  and 
informed  prospective  freshmen  about  the  advantages  of  belonging  to  a 
Greek  organization.  They  educated  students  about  fraternities  and 
sororities  without  affiliating  themselves  with  any  particular  Greek 
house  in  order  to  benefit  the  entire  system. 

"One  of  my  objectives  and  IPC's  and  Panhellenic  s  objectives 
is  to  sell  the  Greek  system  as  a  whole  to  up-and-coming  freshmen,  "  Vice 
President  of  Rush  Hamlet  Yousit  said. 

Other  ideas  generated  were  designed  as  fun  events  to  appeal 
to  students  on  a  one-on-one  basis.  A  Greek  barbecue  was  planned  at 
the  Seminole  Reservation  which  allowed  non-Greeks  to  learn  about  the 
system  while  they  mingled  with  fraternity  and  sorority  members. 

A  parent's  guide  for  the  Greek  system  was  put  into  an 
educational  flyer  for  the  parents  of  Greek  hopefuls  which  explained  the 
positive  aspects  of  joining  a  fraternal  organization  such  as  community 
service,  philanthropy,  leadership  and  friendship. 

"There  are  a  lot  of  benefits  other  than  partying,  "  Yousif  said. 

A  Union  Blitz  was  another  idea  that  started  during  Greek 
Week  and  was  planned  for  summer  orientation  students.  Greeks  who 
participated  in  the  Blitz  last  Spring  brought  brochures,  pictures  and 
representatives  to  tables  in  the  Union  and  helped  students  learn  the 
differences  and  similarities  between  the  many  Greek  houses. 

Rush  seminars  given  by  the  IFC  and  Executive  Council  were 
optional,  but  suggested,  to  rushees.  They  were  scheduled  for  each

Monday  and  Wednesday  of  Summer  Orientation  sessions  and  informational 
seminars  on  the  Monday  night  of  fraternity  rush  and  the  night  before  sorority  rush. 

Optional  bus  rides  to  all  of  the  fraternity  houses  was  also  suggested  for 
exposure  to  many  different  chapters  on  campus.  IFC  rush  was  traditionally  reliant 
on  word-of-mouth  recruitment  which  pigeonholed  certain  houses  over  others. 
Conversely,  Panhellenic  rush  was  held  in  a  formal  style  which  required  rushing 
women  to  visit  all  of  the  sorority  houses. 

Restrictions  on  rush  were  devised  for  informal  fraternity  rush  parties  to 
give  them  similar  structure  within  IFC  guidelines.  Greeks  were  not  allowed  to  rush 
with  kegs  of  beer  on  the  premises  and  they  could  not  extend  a  bid  to  a  Tallahassee 
Community  College  student  unless  he  had  already  taken  six  credit  hours  at  the 
University  and  was  planning  to  enroll  in  the  next  semester. 

Sororities  also  adopted  certain  rules  that  the  National  Panhellenic 
Association  enforced  to  decrease  the  number  of  women  who  dropped  out  of  rush 
before  the  end  of  the  \A'eek. 

During  Fall  rush,  sororities  were  not  allowed  to  perform  lawn  routines  as 
they  had  in  the  past,  because  Panhellenic  wanted  to  encourage  greater  emphasis  on 
conversation  between  Greeks  and  rushees.  Skits  and  outside  decorations  were  also 
downplayed  in  this  same  fashion  when  performances  on  stage  became  second  fiddle 
to  interaction  with  potential  sisters. 

Panhellenic  decided  to  limit  rush  budgets  to  the  average  of  every  house's 
previous  rush  budgets  from  the  year  before.  The  total  limit  sororities  were  allowed 
to  spend  on  rush  paraphernalia  was  $5000,  according  to  Rush  Chairman  Donna 
Cole. 

"We  are  also  getting  away  from  the  uniform  dress  that  each  sorority  wears 
and  we're  encouraging  everyone  to  get  to  know  each  other  better,  "  Cole  said.

Gamma  Phi  Beta's  annual 
philanthropy  was  Gainina  Phi  Laugh 
Off,  a  stand  up  comedy  show.  The 
sorority  also  sponsored  a  Panhellenic

Purpose 


what  did  one  think  ot  when  girls  were  seen  in  trilly 
dresses  with  bows  in  their  hair,  receiving  big  baskets  filled  ^vith 
useless  gilts,  running  around  campus  in  their  pajamas  or  being 
led  blindtolded  to  a  Iraternity  house?  Sorority  pledges?  Many 
sororities  attempted  to  abandon  that  image  by  altering  their 
pledge  programs. 

Alpha  Chi  Omega  was  one  sorority  that  initiated  a  new^ 
program  because  of  interest  from  national  headquarters.  It 
w^as  developed  to  express  equality  among  members  with  a 
theme  of  "Woman  to  Woman." 

"There  were  two  main  benefits,  that  of  emphasizing  the 
idea  of  membership  lasting  a  lifetime  and  the  equality  of  the 
chapter  as  a  whole,"  Vice  President  of  Education  Liz  Rios  said. 
"Everyone  is  responsible  for  everything.  Duties  are  not  left  up 
to  just  one  person." 

Sororities  tried  to  take  the  focus  away  from  some  of  the 
negatives  associated  with  pledging,  such  as  gifts  and  hazing,  by 
shifting  the  emphasis  to  more  positive  areas  such  as  sisterhood 
and  membership  development.  Pledges  were  called  "new^ 
members,"  former  pledge  educators  were  now  Vice  Presidents 
of  Education  and  initiation  dates  \vere  moved  up.  Some  "new^ 
members"  were  even  allowed  to  attend  chapter  meetings, 
although  the  extent  of  participation  in  ritual  ceremonies  varied. 

Many  of  the  programs  carried  over  to  other  areas  in  the 
sorority  besides  the  pledge  programs.  Officers'  titles  were 
changed,  job  descriptions  were  altered,  different  areas  were 
given  greater  or  lesser  attention  and  chapter  by-laws  were 
rewritten. 

Some  sororities  chose  not  to  alter  their  programs  or  did 
so  to  a  lesser  degree.

"We're  going  to  watch  other's  progress.  We  want  to  be  cautious,  " 
Kappa  Kappa  Gamma  Pledge  Educator  Beth  Corcoran  said. 

Kappa  Kappa  Gamma  had  a  shortened  program  of  ten  weeks  but 
waited  until  the  Spring  semester  to  initiate  new  members  to  ensure  grade 
point  averages.  Corcoran  said  scholarship  was  a  large  part  ol  their 
program. 

Pi  Beta  Phi  also  did  not  make  major  changes  to  their  program. 

"I  didn't  mind  not  having  a  new  program  and  it  didn't  affect  my 
decision  when  going  through  rush,  "  Fall  pledge  class  member  Kandi  Kelly 
said.    "I  liked  the  pace  and  wasn't  overwhelmed.  " 

Older  sisters  who  had  gone  through  the  older  programs  sometimes 
had  a  difficult  time  adjusting.  The  often  heard  comment  was  "We  had  it  so 
much  harder  when  I  was  a  pledge...  " 

"Many  of  the  older  members  had  trouble  dealing  with  change  but 
some  of  what  was  altered  was  due  to  the  University  hazing  policies  and  not 
individual  chapters  and  therefore  they  would  have  changed  regardless,  " 
Jennifer  Peterson,  a  four-year  member  of  Alpha  Chi  Omega,  said.

Leading 


Into  The 


Future 


The  lights  dimmed  and  the  glass  doors  of  the  Union  Ballroom 
rattled  from  the  intensity  of  the  bass  as  unusual  sounds  and  calls  were 
heard  throughout  the  party,  from  the  deep  voices  bellowing  "Blue-Phi" 
to  the  squeaking  "Skeeweet"  of  high  pitched  voices.  Within  no  time, 
line  stepping  by  the  fraternities  and  sororities  began. 

"This  was  more  than  just  a  party,"  Pan  Greek  Advisor  Carol 
Ross  said.  "Pan  Greek  worked  diligently  to  raise  funds  to  go  to  an 
important  leadership  conference  at  Indiana  University." 

The  Black  Greek  Leadership  Conference  was  the  event  that 
Pan  Greek  raised  a  total  of  $6700  to  attend.  The  conference  was 
developed  in  1987  on  the  campus  of  Central  Missouri  State  University 
with  the  primary  purpose  of  allo\ving  African- American  Greeks  to  have 
the  opportunity  to  organize  and  implement  a  conference  addressing 
issues  that  faced  them  on  predominantly  white  university  campuses. 

The  weekend  of  Oct.  30  educated  Pan  Greek  members  on  their 
organizations'  dedication  to  brother  and  sisterhood,  scholarship  and 
service.  They  also  had  workshops  and  speakers  on  the  retention  of 
minority  students  at  predominantly  white  institutions  by  focusing  on 
academic  achievement  and  developing  leadership  potential.  The 
conference  was  not  based  on  fraternity  and  sorority  life  alone  but  also 
focused  on  time  and  risk  management  and  values. 

"Pan  Greek  learned  many  different  things  at  the  conference 
and  was  able  to  get  ideas  from  Greeks  at  different  schools.  As  a  result 
they  implemented  new  programs  here  at  Florida  State  and  started  a  line 
of  communication  with  their  counterparts  at  different  institutions, "  Pan 
Greek  President  Annesia  Ogarro  said. 

Along  with  their  personal  fundraisers,  Pan  Greek  went  to  the 
Student  Government  Association  to  ask  for  funding.  They  received 
additional  money  to  put  with  w^hat  they  had  been  raising  since  the 
summer  before  the  conference. 

There  was  a  force  behind  each  Pan  Greek  member  w^ho 
w^orked  the  doors,  did  the  paperwork,  passed  out  flyers  and  cleaned  up 
after  the  party.  This  force  helped  them  to  make  enough  money  to 
embark  upon  an  educational  and  enlightening  conference. 

"The  conference  lived  up  to  its'  slogan  'Dedicated  To  The 
Future',"  Ross  said.  "It  was  w^orth  every  dime,  drop  ofsweat  and  step."

The 


Alternatives 


Telephones  rang,  doors  banged  shut,  there  was  laughter  and 
yelling  in  the  hall\vays  and  everyone  waited  lor  an  available  shower. 
That  w^as  the  life  for  the  hundreds  of  University  students  who  lived  in 
sorority  and  fraternity  housing. 

Besides  being  unique  from  students  who  lived  in  dorms  and 
apartments,  some  Greeks  had  the  novel  aspect  of  sleeping  porches.  A 
sleeping  porch  was  a  designated  room  in  a  sorority  house  Filled  only  with 
beds  which  was  kept  quiet  and  dark  at  all  times.  The  girls  slept  there 
rather  than  in  their  actual  rooms.  The  purpose  behind  the  sleeping 
porches  was  to  provide  more  convenience  regarding  studying  and 
getting  prepared  for  school  and  work. 

Not  all  houses  utilized  sleeping  porches. 

"My  biggest  sacrifice  when  I  moved  in  the  house  was  the  loss 
of  privacy,"  Alpha  Chi  Omega  member  Tracey  Finley  said. 

By  sleeping  in  a  separate  room,  roommates  were  not  disturbed 
by  lights,  blowdryers  or  the  normal  early  morning  hustle.  Sleeping 
porches  not  only  made  it  easier  for  people  to  sleep,  they  also  allowed  for 
more  space  in  the  bedrooms.  Most  rooms  in  the  houses  with  sleeping 
porches  were  for  three  girls  which  left  room  for  desks,  tables,  shelves 
and  televisions.  This  also  permitted  more  members  to  live  in  the  house 
and  provided  for  better  academic  environments.  Members  could  stay 
up  late  to  study  for  an  important  test  without  disturbing  their 
roommates. 

Most  sorority  members  who  experienced  sleeping  porches 
enjoyed  them. 

"As  soon  as  you  go  in,  you  know  you're  going  to  sleep.  It's  a 
placeyou  can  always  sleep,  no  matter  what  time  it  is,  "  Delta  Delta  Delta 
member  Stacey  Hypes  said. 

The  girls  said  the  sleeping  porches  provided  the  perfect 
sleeping  conditions.  The  temperature  was  just  right,  there  were  no 
lights  and  the  only  sound  allowed  was  alarm  clocks.

"You  have  to  get  used  to  it.  You  learn  to  tune  intoyour  own  and 
don't  hear  the  others  after  awhile,  "  Sigma  Kappa  Amy  Maynard  said. 

In  the  past,  Alpha  Gamma  Delta  sorority  tried  the  different 
concept  of  a  wake-up  board.  One  person  set  an  alarm  and  each  sister 
was  successively  responsible  for  waking  up  the  next  sister  at  the  posted

time.  When  this  did  not  work  out,  members  were  allowed  individual  clocks  with  the 
rule  of  no  snooze  alarms. 

"The  only  disadvantage  now  is  people  who  snore  or  talk  in  their  sleep,  " 
Alpha  Gamma  Delta  member  Julie  Dikes  said. 

Sorority  members  said  there  was  not  a  problem  when  people  were  sick 
either.    Dikes  said  at  her  house  the  girls  also  had  day  beds  in  their  room. 

"People  usually  slept  there  when  they  were  sick  so  as  not  to  disturb  others 
with  coughs  and  sneezes,"  Dikes  said. 

Although  Maynard  said  she  had  not  really  thought  about  the  safety  factor 
of  all  the  girls  sleeping  in  one  area,  Dikes  cited  an  instance  when  the  house  alarm  went 
off. 

"We  were  able  to  pinpoint  the  cause  easily  because  the  majority  of  the  girls 
were  all  located  in  the  same  area,"  Dikes  said. 

Dikes  said  the  sleeping  porches  were  somewhat  of  a  strange  concept.  Most 
girls  who  went  through  sorority  rush  had  just  come  from  living  at  home.  The  idea  of 
a  dorm  room  was  odd  enough,  let  alone  that  of  15  or  20  girls  sleeping  on  bunk  beds 
in  one  room  of  a  sorority  house. 

"The  idea  was  difficult  to  explain  during  rush  but  after  living  in  a  dorm,  I 
liked  them  better,"  Dikes  said. 

"My  favorite  part  of  the  sleeping  porches  is  thatyou  don't  have  to  makeyour 
bed! "  Maynard  said. 

"It  definitely  is  different  but  I  like  living  in  the  house  better  because,  one,  it's 
the  chance  of  a  lifetime.  Two,  it's  convenient  for  dinner,  meetings,  etc.  and  three,  and 
most  important,  it's  right  in  the  middle  of  everything.  There's  never  a  dull  moment,  ' 
Alpha  Chi  Omega  senior  Jennifer  Peterson  said.

Big  brothers  and  big  sisters,  a  crucial  part  of  the 
Greek  system,  have  been  useful  in  their  service  as  a  liaison 
between  the  new  member  and  the  organization.  They  made 
the  organization  more  personal  and  played  a  vital  role  in  the 
new^  members  achievement  of  their  goal  of  eventual 
initiation. 

The  most  profound  effects,  how^ever,  were  felt  in 
the  personal  relationships  fostered  as  the  big  brothers  and 
sisters  helped  their  little  siblings  overcome  the  adversity 
that  faced  them  and  find  their  own  niche  within  the 
organization. 

"My  big  sister  is  a  role  model  to  me.  She  has 
always  been  there  for  me.  When  I  was  a  pledge,  I  w^as  shy 
and  overwhelmed  by  the  sorority  and  she  alw^ays  made  me 
feel  at  home,"  newly  initiated  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  sister  Nicki 
Abbott  said. 

In  most  Greek  organizations,  the  selection  process 
was  by  mutual  agreement.  Soon  after  rush,  each  member 
and  pledge  submitted  their  top  two  or  three  preferences 
and  the  pledge  trainer  pair  them  up  as  closely  as  possible  to 
the  original  choices.

"My  little  brother  Drew  is  awesome.  I  had  an  idea  of  choosing 
him  during  rush  but  after  a  lew  weeks  into  the  semester,  he  was 
definitely  my  choice,  "  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  brother  Wes  Grant  said. 

Pledges  and  associated  members  typically  received  their  big 
brothers  or  sisters  in  some  sort  ol  ritual,  the  formality  ol  which  varied 
from  house  to  house.  In  some  organizations,  this  milestone  was  reached 
soon  after  formally  pledging,  while  in  others  it  was  one  ot  the  last  steps 
on  the  road  to  initiation. 

"We  have  what  are  called  'Heart  Sisters,'  which  are  mutually 
chosen  at  the  beginning  ot  the  semester.  These  are  the  hrst  sisters  we 
really  get  to  know.  At  the  end  of  the  semester  we  choose  our  big  sisters 
and  usually  they  are  one  of  our  heart  sisters,  "  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  April 
Carey  said. 

Regardless  of  how  or  when  they  were  selected,  big  brothers  and 
big  sisters  did  their  best  to  see  to  the  initiation  of  the  new  members  and 
in  doing  so  played  their  part  in  keeping  the  Greek  system  moving 
forward  and  growing  with  the  times.

When  Spring  brought  flowers,  birds  and  warm  weather  to 
campus,  it  also  brought  the  Spring  Challenge.  The  Spring  Challenge 
was  a  contest  held  betw^een  all  the  registered  student  organizations, 
fraternities  and  sororities.  It  was  a  competition  to  raise  the  most  money 
for  the  organization's  chosen  philanthropy.  Coupons  were  run  in  the 
campus  weekly /'iSF^ic  and  were  also  available  at  The  Loop  restaurant. 
For  each  coupon  redeemed  ,  the  restaurant  donated  twenty-five  cents  to 
the  organization's  philanthropy. 

The  idea  originated  at  Loop  restaurants  in  Jacksonville, 
Florida,  but  was  traditionally  held  between  employees  at  different 
locations.  Since  there  was  only  one  Loop  restaurant  in  Tallahassee,  a 
college  oriented  contest  was  developed. 

The  stakes  increased  the  final  week  of  the  Challenge  giving 
participants  a  chance  to  increase  their  earnings.  The  redemption  value 
was  raised  to  thirty  cents  per  coupon.  They  also  offered  a  special 
drawing  of  two  tickets  to  the  Mainstage  presentation  of  Caimlle  and 
dinner  for  two. 

Grand  prize  went  to  Delta  Gamma  sorority  which  earned  %S7) 
toward  its  philanthropy.  Delta  Gamma  also  received  a  plaque  and  a 
pizza  party  worth  $100.  Alpha  Phi  Omega  service  fraternity  won  a 
randomly  drawn  pizza  party  worth  up  to  $250.  Alpha  Phi  Omega  was 
ranked  in  the  top  five  for  most  of  the  five  weeks  the  contest  ran. 

"Even  though  we  did  not  win,  I  had  lun  having  lunch  with  my 
friends  and  trying  to  raise  money  for  our  philanthropy,  "  Christine 
Hodge,  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  member,  said. 

Special  recognition  went  to  Alpha  Chi  Omega  and  Kappa 
Alpha  Theta,  both  received  $  1 00  pizza  parties  and  money  towards  their 
philanthropies. 

"There  was  almost  a  tie  so  we  felt  the  need  to  recognize  the  other 
two,  "  Jennifer  Huston,  owner  of  The  Loop,  said. 

"I  thought  the  contest  went  w^ell  but  I  felt  the  response  would 
gave  been  greater  if  the  prizes  were  bigger,  "  General  Manager  Matt 
Hutton  said.

To  The 


October  24  marked  the  date  of  Pan  Greek's  largest  campus 
function,  the  Extravaganza.  The  Extrav  was  an  annual  step  show 
hosted  by  the  members  ot  Pan  Greek  that  took  place  each  fall  semester. 
Stepping  was  a  mixture  ol  African  and  modern  street  dance.  The  seven 
Pan  Greek  organizations  put  in  months  of  preparation  tor  the  event  and 
also  spent  money  on  props  and  costumes  to  enhance  the  aesthetic  value 
of  the  show. 

"All  the  organizations  take  this  competition  very  seriously. 
They  make  a  lot  of  sacrifices  and  become  emotional  wrecks  during  this 
time,  "  Pan  Greek  Advisor  Carol  Ross  said. 

The  Extrav  was  lull  of  drama  from  the  emotional  to  the 
theatrical  portions  of  the  show.  The  organizations  who  performed  were 
Sigma  Gamma  Rho  sorority.  Kappa  Alpha  Psi  fraternity.  Alpha  Kappa 
Alpha  sorority.  Alpha  Phi  Alpha  fraternity,  Phi  Beta  Sigma  fraternity 
and  Delta  Sigma  Theta  sorority.  Unfortunately  because  of  a  last  minute 
illness,  the  members  of  Zeta  Phi  Beta  sorority  were  unable  to  perform. 

"This  was  very  upsetting  because  we  won  last  year,  I  was 
looking  forward  to  defending  our  title,  "  ZOB  Vice  President  Annesia 
O'garro  said. 

This  was  no  regular  Extrav;  there  were  steppers  with  gold 
boots,  diamonds  that  lit  up,  hooded  women  with  their  own  D.J.  and 
canes  that  glowed  in  the  dark.  It  was  the  compilation  of  songs,  music 
and  dance  that  made  the  Extrav  such  a  spectacle. 

"This  was  one  of  the  most  exciting  sho^vs  I  have  ever  seen," 
sophomore  Yolonda  Reed  said. 

At  the  end  of  the  show  there  were  two  winners,  AZ0  and 
KA4^.  The  Extrav  raised  over  $5,000  for  the  Pan  Greek  Council  which 
was  used  to  help  members  attend  the  Black  Greek  Leadership

"The  extravaganza  serves  not  only  as  a  fundraiser  for  Pan

Changes 


Continue 

Remember  that  game  where  everyone  ran  around  a  circle  of  chairs  minus 
one  until  the  music  stopped?  Then  everyone  tried  to  grab  the  nearest  available  seat. 
That  was  similar  to  what  happened  on  fraternity  row  during  one  short  summer. 
Numerous  Iraternities  relocated  to  ditterent  houses,  some  underwent  reconstruction 
and  others  packed  up  and  moved  oH  campus. 

Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon,  Kappa  Alpha,  Alpha  Tau  Omega,  Delta  Tau  Delta, 
Sigma  Nu  and  Phi  Kappa  Tau  all  had  long  term  leases  from  the  University. 

"In  the  past,  the  University  was  responsible  for  maintaining  the  fraternity 
houses  that  they  owned.  Recently,  they  have  neglected  to  do  that.  For  a  while,  the 
hre  marshall  overlooked  the  violations  but  alter  a  while  they  put  pressure  on  the 
University  to  do  something  about  it,"  ZAE  house  manager  Ted  Stout  said. 

Many  ol  them  were  required  to  make  renovations  in  order  to  bring  their 
houses,  or  rather  the  University's  houses,  up  to  current  safety  codes. 

"Basically,  the  University  is  telling  us  that  we  have  to  invest  $300,000, 
mostly  to  replace  wiring  and  plumbing,  in  order  to  be  able  to  rent  the  property, "  Stout 
said. 

Theta  Chi  had  a  University  owned  house  but  moved  to  an  extensively 
renovated  house  on  West  Pensacola  Street  which  was  owned  by  the  fraternity's 
alumni.  Beta  Theta  Pi  moved  into  the  house  that  was  occupied  by  Delta  Chi  house 
on  West  College  Avenue  while  Delta  Sigma  Phi  moved  into  the  house  that  had  been 
occupied  by  Zeta  Beta  Tau.  Zeta  Beta  Tau  moved  next  door  and  AX  relocated  down 
the  street. 

Sigma  Chi  was  temporarily  located  at  the  former  Sigma  Delta  Tau  sorority 
house  next  to  the  XX  house  on  West  College  Avenue.  While  most  of  the  houses  on 
College  Avenue  were  privately  rented,  the  ZAT  house  was  owned  by  the  state  of 
Florida. 

After  only  two  short  semesters,  it  seemed  as  though  changes  were  in  order 
once  again.  Although  Chi  Phi  owned  its  house,  the  fraternity  allowed  ZAE  to  lease 
Irom  them.  Chi  Phi  moved  Irom  their  location  on  West  Pensacola  Street  into  their 
former  house  on  West  College  Avenue  which  had  been  occupied  by  AZO.  Chi  Phi 
wanted  to  be  temporarily  located  on  West  College  Avenue  to  be  closer  to  the  action 
during  rush  week. 

"It  is  very  difficult  for  a  smaller  fraternity  like  Chi  Phi  to  rush  out  of  our 
current  location.  We  want  to  spend  some  time  back  on  fraternity  row'  and  then 
decide  what  we  want  to  do  about  housing  for  the  long  term,  '  XO  president  Stuart 
Cohen  said. 

Lambda  Chi  Alpha,  Phi  Sigma  Kappa,  Phi  Gamma  Delta,  Sigma  Pi,  Pi 
Kappa  Phi  and  Kappa  Sigma  also  owned  their  own  houses  but  remained  stationary.

The  fourth  annual  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  AIDS 
Forum  was  open  to  all  campus  organizations  and 
students,  including  the  entire  Greek  system.  The 
turn-out  on  Oct.  6  was  great,  as  many  students 
showed  up  with  questions  and  an  eagerness  to  learn 
about  the  AIDS  virus. 

"I  was  overwhelmed  that  fraternities  and 
sororities  alike  were  there.  People  came  on  their 
own  will,  not  out  of  obligation,  and  everyone 
seemed  to  learn  something  new.  It  was  a  very 
positive  step  in  a  campus  point  of  view  to  have  so 
many  young  people  there.  Hopefully  everyone  who 
attended  got  something  out  of  it,"  ZTA  member 
Christine  Merritt  said. 

The  two  hour  meeting  consisted  of  a  panel 
of  speakers  with  knowledge  on  various  aspects  of 
the  AIDS  virus,  including  an  AIDS  patient,  family 
members  of  AI DS  patients  and  a  psychiatrist.  Big 
Bend  Cares  and  the  Tallahassee  AIDS  Support 
System,  two  organizations  that  provided  much 
information  on  the  emotional,  psychological  and 
biological  aspects  of  AIDS,  were  also  present  at  the 
forum. 

"In  Tallahassee  there  are  so  many  groups 
of  people  working  with  the  AIDS  virus  who  are 
w^illing  to  help  and  answer  questions.  Allyou  have 
to  do  is  ask,"  Merritt  said. 

After  the  panel  of  guests  spoke,  the  forum 
turned  towards  safe  sex  and  AIDS  prevention. 
Free  informative  brochures  and  birth  control  were 
passed  out  among  students.  The  last  part  of  the 
forum  was  a  question  and  answer  period  in  which 
students  could  privately  write  down  questions 
about  AIDS  and  have  them  answered. 

"It  w^as  fun,  entertaining  and 
educational  —  the  atmosphere  was  so  relaxed  that 
anyone  could  ask  questions  and  not  feel 
embarrassed.  It  made  everyone  comfortable 
enough  that  AIDS  awareness  increased 
immensely",  ZTA  Historian  Meg  Manning  said. 

The  AIDS  Forum  had  a  beneficial  effect 
on  all  who  went,  as  AIDS  awareness  increased  at 
the  University.  The  sorority  planned  to  continue 
their  yearly  contribution  to  the  campus  every  fall. 

"It  is  not  a  problem  that  involves  just  the 
Greek  system,  it  is  a  nationwide  problem  that 
affects  all  of  us,"  ZTA  President  Shannon  Leete 
said.

The 


Derby 

Aside  from  the  image  A/ii»m/ Hoiwe  portrayed  Greeks  to  have, 
there  existed  another  side  just  as  characteristic;  that  of  philanthropy.  In 
1992  alone,  Greeks  raised  over  $60,000  for  various  philanthropies 
ranging  from  the  March  ol  Dimes  to  AIDS  research  and  awareness. 

Methods  of  raising  lunds  for  various  chanties  were  very 
creative;  activities  ranged  from  tricycle  races  to  beauty  pageants  and 
linedance  competitions.  The  money  raised  at  these  events  went  to  benefit 
a  fraternity  or  sorority's  philanthropy  which  was  generally  chosen  by 
the  national  office  and  remained  the  same  every  year. 

For40years,  Sigma  Chi 'sZ)fr/;i/Z)^zi/<''  one  ofthe  oldest  and  most 
anticipated  events  in  the  Greek  community,  had  taken  place  on  campus. 
Proceeds  had  traditionally  gone  to  benefit  the  Muscular  Dystrophy 
Association.  It  was  changed  to  benefit  Tallahassee  Big  Bend  Cares,  a 
local  charity  and  a  subsidiary  agency  ol  the  United  Way.  It  dealt 
specifically  with  AIDS  education  and  support. 

Not  only  was  the  philanthropy  changed  but  the  format  oi Derby 
Day^t  was  changed  as  well.  In  the  past  there  was  a  week  ol  festivities  and 
sorority  competitions,  hence  the  name  Derby  Dayj.  The  popularity  of  the 
Derby'ii  format,  including  competitions  between  the  different  Greek 
houses,  grew  so  much  that  the  IFC  was  forced  to  cut  Derby  Day.*  to  just 
one  day  because  the  calendar  was  so  filled  with  other  houses' 
philanthropy  events. 

The  Epsilon  Zeta  chapter  of  Sigma  Chi  fraternity  decided  to 
change  their  philanthropy  in  order  to  benefit  a  local  charity,  since  many 
other  Greeks  had  the  MDA  as  their  philanthropy  as  well.  The  brothers 
felt  that  AIDS  was  a  more  timely  issue  and  the  change  was  well  received 
by  everyone. 

"I  thought  that  it  was  time  for  a  change.  With  the  disease 
spreading  so  rapidly,  I  wanted  to  make  the  community  and  the  campus 
more  aware  of  the  problem  and  of  its  prevention.  And  what  better 
audience  to  receive  that  message  than  students,"  Sigma  Chi 
Philanthropy  Chair  Chris  Trier  said.

The  virus  was  spreading  so  rapidly  and  the  statistics  were  so  overwhelming  that 
more  awareness  was  needed  on  campus  and  in  the  Greek  community. 

"It's  an  issue  that  hits  closer  to  home.  More  people  our  age  are  dying  ol 
AIDS  these  days  than  they  are  ol  muscular  dystrophy,  "  Sigma  Chi  brother  Todd 
Watson  said. 

Another  medium  used  to  boost  awareness  for  the  event  was  the  Derby  Day,' 
magazine.  Instead  ol  being  hlled  with  advertisements  Irom  sponsors  alone,  it  also 
had  AIDS  facts  and  stories  designed  to  encourage  awareness  and  activism. 

"This  program  is  different  from  all  ol  our  past  Derby  Dayj  magazines  in  that 
it  is  designed  not  only  as  an  advertising  medium  but  also  as  an  educational  tool  for 
people  from  all  walks  of  campus  and  the  community,"  Trier  said. 

It  \vas  estimated  that  by  the  year  2000,  one  out  of  every  four  people  -will  have 
been  inlected  with  the  filV  Virus,  the  precursor  to  the  AIDS  Virus,  and  in  a  student 
population  it  was  likely  to  be  even  higher. 

Although  the  decision  to  change  philanthropies  was  that  of  the 
philanthropy  chair.  Trier  was  optimistic  about  the  choice  ol  his  successor  and  hoped 
future  Derble^^  would  beneht  AIDS  research  and  awareness. 

"Don't  put  your  head  in  the  sand.  Anyone  can  get  AIDS.  But  knowledge 
is  power  and  that's  ^k\\3X  Derby  Day^i  is  all  about,  "  a  quote  from  Derby  Day,)  Magazine 
said.

Developing 


The 


Points 


Delta  Sigma  Theta  participated  in  various 
activities  to  help  establish  the  goals  of  the  sorority's  Five 
Point  Program  Thrust  which  included  economic 
development,  educational  development,  international 
awareness  and  involvement,  political  awareness  and 
involvement,  and  physical  and  mental  health. 

To  serve  the  community,  AZ0  provided 
companionship  for  the  elderly  at  Miracle  Hill  Nursing 
Home,  contributed  money  to  the  United  Negro  College 
Fund,  tutored  runaways  at  Someplace  Else  and 
participated  in  the  University's  Health  Fest. 

"We  have  a  lot  of  participation  at  our  seminars  and 
at  the  shelters,  "  president  Letitia  Price  said. 

Politically,  members  sponsored  the  "Does  You 
Vote  Count?"  seminar  to  give  students  the  opportunity  to 
meet  Tallahassee's  political  candidates,  held  voter 
registration  drives  and  helped  kids  with  voting. 

'We  had  a  voter  registration  drive  with  kids  age 
seven  to  17  mock  voting  at  actual  voting  polls,"  Price  said. 

The  sorority  collected  canned  goods  that  were 
donated  to  the  Hurricane  Andrew  Relief  Effort,  sponsored 
a  seminar  on  "Homophobia"  and  sponsored  a  pageant  that 
raised  $300  for  the  Tallahassee  Urban  League.  They  also 
sponsored  a  Halloween  Party  for  students  at  the  Lincoln 
Child  Care  Center,  helped  clean  up  Frenchtown,  Holton 
Street  and  the  Joe  Louis  projects  during  the  annual  "Into 
the  Streets"  national  service  project  and  donated 
Thanksgiving  baskets. 

Sorority  members  worked  with  the  Just  Say  No 
program,  the  Ronald  McDonald  House  and  the  Cold  Night 
Shelter.  They  also  co-sponsored  a  seminar  "By  Any  Means 
Necessary,"  which  was  a  discussion  on  the  life  on  Malcolm 
X  held  during  Stop  Racism  Week. 

"We  feel  that  it  is  very  important  to  educate  our 
members  based  on  upon  the  agenda  set  by  our  five  point 
program,  "  Price  said.

Together 


Through  the  joint  efforts  of  the  Interfraternity  Council,  the 
Panhellenic  Association  and  the  Pan  Greek  Council,  campus  Greek 
organizations  came  together  during  Greek  Week  to  raise  $2,000  for

Bend  Cares,  $150  to  the  School  Intervention  Program,  $500  to  the  Elder 
Care  Services  and  $500  to  the  Walker/Ford  Foundation. 

The  week  began  with  a  faculty  luncheon  on  University 
President  Dale  Lick's  lawn.  That  evening  brought  the  much  anticipated

Tuesday  brought  Movie  Night  at  I. C.  Flicks.  Fraternity  and 
sorority  members  watched  a  movie  with  middle  school  students  as  part 
of  the  School  Intervention  Program.  This  evening  was  a  night  out  with 
the  older  kids  as  a  reward  for  being  straight  and  staying  off  drugs. 

"I  feel  that  this  evening  was  far  more  valuable  than  any 
monetary  donation  we  could  ever  give  these  kids,  "  Greek  Council 
Programming  Director  Dave  Klein  said.  "We  may  not  have  the  financial 
resources  but  we  do  have  the  manpower.  " 

Union  Blitz  Day  was  held  on  the  Wednesday  of  Greek  Week

on  the  Union  Green.  Each  pairing  shared  a  table  upon  which  they  displayed  their 
philanthropy  and  community  participation.  Community  service  exhibitions  were 
stressed  instead  of  Homecoming  or  intramural  awards.  Later  in  the  evening, 

Greeks  came  to  Moore  Auditorium  tor  the  Greek  Movie  Night  showing  o(  Single^i. 
The  originally  planned  outdoor  event  had  to  be  canceled  due  to  University 
restrictions  on  amplified  sound  after  5:00  p.m. 

Although  there  were  no  planned  events  for  Thursday,  Friday  brought 
Community  Service  Day  from  1 :00p.m.  to  5:00  p.m.  with  the  Clean  Up  Frenchtown 
project. 

"With  this  effort,  w^e  hoped  not  only  to  improve  our  public  relations  -within 
the  community  but  also  to  give  our  members  hand-on  volunteer  experience," 
Panhellenic  President  Julie  Dunn  said. 

In  collaboration  with  the  Urban  Housing  Commission,  each  pairing 
worked  on  two  randomly  assigned  houses.  The  pairing  was  responsible  for 
providing  two  ladders  and  20  paint  brushes  to  use  in  the  clean  up. 

"In  order  to  exemplify  the  Greek  system's  unity  and  our  dedication  to  the 
community  we  decided  to  reach  out  with  a  hands-on  approach.  This  was  a  great  way 
to  help  others,"  Community  Service  Day  co-chair  Patty  Wilson  said. 

There  were  Saturday  plans  including  March  of  Dimes  WalkAmerica 
followed  by  a  Field  day  Greek  social  and  awards  ceremony.  How^ever,  one  of  the 
worst  storms  in  history  canceled  WalkAmerica  and  planned  field  day  events.

Greek  Week  199 


It 


was  easy  to  become  a  number,  a  social  security 
number  that  is, with  over  28,000  students  here  on  campus. 
How^ever,  there  was  a  way  for  each  student  to  find 
themselves  and  to  find  a  niche  in  which  they  belong. 

The  niche  was  found  through  organizations.  There 
v/as  a  special  place  for  each  individual  to  become  a  name,  a 
face  and  a  friend  for  someone  else  in  these  clubs. 

Holding  a  senate  seat  could  have  been  a  "niche"  for  one 
person  where  belonging  to  the  Ultimate  Frisbee  Club  or  to 
the  Wesley  Foundation  was  perfect  for  another.  On  a 
campus  where  there  was  a  Jewish  Student  Union,  a  Black 
Student  Union  and  a  Baptist  Student  Union  every  student 
becomes  more  than  a  number. 

It  was  in  these  organizations  that  students  learned 
about  life.  It  was  here  that  people  learned  to  how  to  manage 
their  "life".  A  student  may  have  a  full  class  load,  work, 
homework  and  still  somehow. ..some  way  found  time  to 
make  it  to  the  meeting  at  7p.m.  ,  work  on  the  story /project/ 
ad  that  is  due  for  another  club  and  manage  to  tell  their 
friends  and  family  that  they  really  enjoyed  being  busy. 

The  lifetime  friends  that  they  made  in  different 
organizations  and  the  experiences  they  shared  and  learned 
made   organizations  domethuig  for  eK'eryone.

Alpha  Phi  Omega 


Membership  for 

AOQ  exceeded  87 

active  members. 


Alpha  Phi  Omega  was 
named  the  Organizaitons  of  theyear 
in  1992. 

After  being  awarded  the 
honor  they  felt  ot  necessary  to  live 
up  to  all  that  they  accomplished  the 
year  before. 

A  CO- educational  service 
fraternity,  A^O  w^as  based  on 
scouting. 

There  was  a  concentration 
on  the  four  C's  in  their  service: 
campus,  community,  chapter  and 
country. 

Along  with  these 
concentrations  the  foundation  of  the 
fraternity  was  on  three  cardinal 
principles:  leadership,  friendship 
and  service. 

They  participated  in  many 
service  projects  that  included  the 
annual  Jail  n'  Bail,  Ugly  'Nole  on 
Campus  an  organ  donor  drive. 
Muscular  Distrophy  Association's 
Halloween  Haunted  Trail  and 
March  of  Dimes  WalkAmerica. 

They  raised  approximately 
$  1 0, 000  for  those  and  other  charities 


202  Organizations 


Chosen  as  the  1992  Organization  of  the  Year, 
Alpha  Phi  Omega  members  worked  even  harder  to  estab- 
lish themselves  within  the  campus  and  community.  AOQ 
was  a  national,  co-ed  service  fraternity  based  upon  the 
three  cardinal  principles  of  leadership,  friendship  and  ser- 
vice. 

What  the  Iota  Rho  chapter  of  AOQ  was  best 
known  for,  though,  was  its  service.  Broken  down  into  four 
categories,  AOQ  concentrated  on  the  four  C's  for  its  service 
program:   campus,  community,  chapter  and  country. 

"By  dedicating  ourselves  to  serving  the  four  C's, 

ALWAYS  THERE 
TO  SERVE 

our  organizaiton  has  a  very  fulfilling  and  well  rounded 
program  of  community  service,  "  Robin  Kaye,  service  vice 
president  for  the  spring,  said. 

On  campus,  AOQ  worked  with  various  organiza- 
tions including  the  Women's  Center,  Disabled  Student 
Services  and  International  Student  Affairs.  For  the 
Women's  Center,  members  organized  the  Blue  Ribbon 
Campaign  for  Stop  Rape  Week.  Members  helped  with  the 
ISA  dinner  and  assisted  disabled  students  by  raising  money 
through  a  car  wash,  doing  a  flyer  blitz  and  reading  weekly 
for  Independence  for  the  Blind. 

AOQ  focused  a  great  deal  of  energy  on  community 
service  within  the  Tallahassee  area.  For  the  Easter  Seals, 
members  worked  a  bike-a-thon  and  did  landscaping  at  the 
office.  AOQ  brothers  cleaned  their  Monroe  Street  stretch 
on  the  Adopt-a- Highway  program,  helped  clean  St.  Francis 
Wildlife  Foundation  and  washed  buses  for  Taltran.  Work 
days  were  held  with  Octoberfix  and  the  Florida  Baptist 
Children's  Home. 

AOQ  also  had  three  ongoing  projects  that  lasted 
throughout  the  year.  There  was  a  weekly  project 
babysitting  for  the  Tallahassee  Coalition  for  the  Homeless 
in  addition  to  working  with  the  Emergency  Care  and  Help 
Organization.  The  fraternity  also  w^orked  with  the  Associa- 
tion for  Retarded  Citizens.  A  weekly  bowling  project  took 
place  each  Monday  night  in  addition  to  a  Halloween  and  a 
Valentine's  Day  dance. 

Additional  community  projects  included  the 
Ronald  McDonald  House  Spring  Clean-up,  working  at  the 
Nature  Conservancy,  helping  with  the  Tallahassee  Animal 
Shelter  Adopt-a-pet,  working  at  the  Very  Special  Arts  Big 
Bend  Art  Festival,  decorating  Tallahassee  Memorial  and 
Regional  Medical  Center's  children's  ward  for  St.  Patrick's 
Day,  hosting  Spring  Fun  Day  preparing  and  having  brunch 
with  residents  of  Lake  Ella  Manor. 

Since  AOQ  was  founded  on  the  principles  of 
scouting,  members  helped  w^ith  a  work  day  at  both  the  Boy 
Scout  and  Girl  Scout  camps  and  helped  w^ith  the  Boy  Scout 
Expo  at  the  Tallahassee  Leon  County  Civic  Center. 

For  the  chapter  itself,  members  organized  a  safety 
conference,  a  leadership  development  seminar  and  had  a 
motivational  speaker.   They  also  held  a  chapter  planning

conference  and  came  together  with  other  chapters  tor 
sectional  and  national  conventions  as  well  as  a  chapter 
president's  workshop. 

"Nothing  bonds  brothers  quicker  than  a  26  hour 
van  ride  to  Boston  sittmg  on  luggage,  "  delegate  Jeremy 
Blinn  said. 

On  a  national  level,  AOil  served  the  country  when 
Hurricane  Andrew  devastated  South  Florida,  AOH  broth- 
ers jumped  right  in  and  assisted  by  helping  collect  money  at 
the  University  football  game  against  Wake  Forest. 

"I  think  that  so  many  brothers  were  willing  to  help 
because  it  hit  home.  Everyone  knew  someone  that  had  been 
aflected,  "  Kelly  McCabe,  vice  president  of  service  lor  the 
fall,  said.  "Even  though  it  was  last  minute,  there  was  no 
problem  getting  help  because  everyone  understood  the 
urgency  of  the  need." 

Once  again,  AOQ  assisted  the  Muscular  Dystro- 
phy Association  with  the  Halloween  Haunted  Trail.  A  new 
twist  was  added,  ho'wever,  as  members  not  only  worked 
\vith  the  trail  but  actually  helped  construct  it  as  well. 

In  the  Union,  members  manned  tables  that  con- 
ducted an  organ  donor  drive,  Ugly  'Nole  on  Campus  that 
raised  $600  tor  the  American  Red  Cross  as  well  as  the  White 


Christmas  tood  and  clothing  collection  tor  the  United  Way. 

AOQ  also  distributed  information  for  the  Ameri- 
can Diabetes  Association,  raised  money  and  walked  in  the 
CROP  Walk  tor  Church  World  Services  . 

Spring  brought  a  challenge  to  the  fraternity  with 
two  tremendous  projects.  In  addition  to  working  the  mall 
site,  AOQ  organized  a  campus  based  Jail  'N  Bail  which 
raised  $6700  tor  the  American  Cancer  Society. 

"It  was  w^ondertul  being  part  of  such  a  worthwhile 
event  that  gathered  together  so  many  people.  It  was 
amazing  that  ^^/e  accomplished  so  much  even  though  we 
were  limited  to  just  campus,"  Parole  Board  Captain  Kim 
Pearcy  said. 

AOQ  also  raised  $4900  for  March  of  Dimes 
WalkAmerica,  which  was  the  largest  amount  tor  a  campus 
organization  and  the  tenth  largest  amount  overall.  Money 
was  raised  through  car  washes,  bake  sales  and  door-to-door 
donations. 

"Considering  it  was  the  walk  that  never  was,  w^e 
raised  one  hundred  percent  over  our  total  from  lastyear.  As 
a  traternity,  we  challenged  ourselves  and  as  a  fraternity,  we 
pulled  together  to  meet  this  challenge,"  co-chair  EA  David 
said.  "We  sho^A'ed  ourselves  what  can  be  accomplished 
when  we  work  together."

Caribbean  Club 


The  Caribbean  Club 
was  interested  in  maintaining 
a  place  w^here  involved 
students  could  explore  the 
Carribean  heritage  and 
culture  outside  of  the 
classroom.  It  was  a  social 
setting  that  allowed  for  guest 
speakers,  fundraising  and  fun. 

They  were  a  part  of 
many    fundraising    and 


charitable  activities.  These 
activities  included  the  Cane 
Cutters  program  that  gave 
awareness  to  migrant 
workers  in  South  Florida. 

They  were  also  a 
part  of  activities  with  the 
Tallahassee  Urban  League. 
There  work  with  the  Urban 
League  included  bake  sales 
and  membership  drives.

206  Organizations 


The  Caribbean  Students  Association  has  been 
serving  the  university  and  the  Tallahassee  community  for  over 
1 5  years.  It  presented  various  cultural,  educational  and  social 
events  throughout  the  year.  The  organization  was  made  up  of 
different  types  of  students. 

"We  want  to  cater  to  students  from  the  Caribbean, 
those  ol  Caribbean  ancestry,  students  who  study  it  and  those 
who  are  interested  in  the  Caribbean  and  its  culture,"  Bryan 
Alii,  president  of  the  Caribbean  Student  Association,  said. 

A  main  component  of  the  group's  activities  was  its 
general   meeting.      Guest   speakers  attended   and   members 

CARIBBEAN  CLUB 

NAMED 

ORGANIZATION 

OF  THE  YEAR 

played  cultural  games. 

'It's  basically  a  chance  lor  everyone  to  get  to  know 
one  another.  We  have  about  70  to  80  people  attending  the 
meetingsand  we  want  to  inform  and  entertain  them,  "Alii  said. 

This  organization  sponsored  the  Cane  Cutters 
program  which  was  designed  to  make  the  public  aware  of 
migrant  workers  in  South  Florida.  Many  companies 
sacrificed  the  safety  and  health  of  the  workers  in  order  to  make 
a  profit.  Films,  lectures  and  debates  enlightened  the  public  to 
this  problem  of  exploitation. 

The  Caribbean  Students  Association  provided 
cultural  retreats  for  its  members  to  educate  them  in  a  fun  and 
relaxed  way.  In  the  fall,  the  organization  held  its  retreat  at  the 
Reservation.  It  contained  all  aspects  of  Caribbean  culture 
such  as  music,  food,  films  and  sports. 

"We  hope  they  feel  at  home,  "  Alh  said. 

In  addition  to  educating  and  entertaining  the 
university's  students,  the  Caribbean  Students  Association 
developed  a  relationship  with  the  Tallahassee  community. 

"We  have  a  commitment  to  bettering  the  Tallahassee 
community,  "  Alii  said. 

This  organization  was  important  to  the  activities  of 
the  city's  Urban  League.  The  Caribbean  Students  Association 
raised  money  for  the  league  through  bake  sales  and 
membership  drives.  Its  help  aided  such  activities  as  the  Youth 
Program  and  the  Victims'  Assistance  Program.  These 
programs  educated  youths  and  kept  them  off  the  street  and 
helped  victims  of  violent  crimes. 

The  Caribbean  Students  Association  promoted 
diversity  of  culture,  encouraged  all  to  participate  and 
demonstrated  concern  for  the  community.  It  came  as  no 
surprise  that  this  outstanding  group  was  named  Organization 
of  the  Year. 

"We're  working  toward  a  common  cause. ..unity," 
Alii  said. 


BYCANDICE  CASE 


Carribean  207 


"Gently  down  the  stream...  "  is  not  the  way  to 
describe  ho^v  FSU  Crew  rows  their  boats.  The  new  team 
made  a  wake  across  the  southeast,  as  well  as  the  Ivy  League 
domain  of  the  north.  Conceived  in  spring  of  1990,  the 
Rowing  Club  set  out  to  establish  a  program  for  recreation. 
Then  by  fall  of  1991,  competitive  racing  was  introduced  to 
FSU  rowers  ,  at  the  Head  ot  ol  the  Chattahoochee  Regatta 
in  Atlanta. 

Since  that  First  regatta,  the  Rowing  Club  became 
the  Crew  Club.  Through  tundraising  and  toresighted 
allocations  by  the  student  senate.  Crew  has  been  growing 
into  a  functioning  athletic  team.   Though  still  a  club  sport, 

ROWING  THEIR 

WAY  TO 

NATIONALS 

the  crew  has  developed  a  regular  regime  ol  rowing 
practices,  land  aerobic  training  and  weight  training.  Any 
student  can  join  the  crew,  but  lew  stay  with  the  program. 
Those  who  do  gain  sell  respect  and  a  lun  way  of  keeping 
physically  Fit. 

This  season  marked  a  milestone  lor  FSU  crew. 
Combined  membership  of  the  men's  and  women's  teams 
was  well  over  forty  people.  The  First  official  coach  for  the 
crew  arrived  from  Syracuse.  Heather  Mills  had  rowed  for 
the  Women's  Varsity  Eight  while  at  Syracuse  and  brought 
her  experience  to  help  train  FSU  rowers.  Also,  in  February, 
the  US  Olympic  Rowing  coach,  Kris  Korzeniowski,  came  to 
visit  the  crew.  At  the  encouragement  ol  the  Crew  president, 
Joe  Hodges,  Korzeniowski  gave  training  tips  to  the  team  as 
well  as  the  new  coach.  Expecting  to  see  an  extremely  feeble 
program,  Korzeniowski  was  surprised  such  a  self  motivated 
group  of  athletes. 

"To  have  to  endure  such  poor  rowing  conditions 
(old  equipment,  lack  ol  funding,  no  boat  house,  weed 
chocked  lake).  I  am  impressed  to  find  the  great  effort  put 
forth  by  Florida  State  rowers,  "  Korzenio^wski  said. 

With  this  effort,  the  men  and  women  of  the  crew 
were  able  to  race  in  several  categories  per  regatta.  The  crew 
entered  both  novice  and  varsity  level  races  as  well.  The 
Crew  competed  in  si.x  regattas,  plus  one  boat  qualified  for 
the  national  Rowing  Championships. 

"No  one  thinks  of  FSU  as  a  rowing  school  because 
we  are  so  new,  but  we  put  our  names  on  the  map,  "  Andre 
Armenariz  said. 

Armenariz  rowed  in  the  in  the  Men's  Four  at  the 
National  rowing  Championship  in  Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania,  along  with  Mark  Helms,  Ronnie  Hamed  and 
Johnathan  Maket. 

"FSU  was  the  obvious  underdog,  "  Helms  said. 

The  one  who  calls  the  shots  as  w^ell  as  the  stroke 
rate,  is  the  coxswain,  Yvonne  Colodny.  Colodny  coxed  the 
boats  at  Nationals. 

"FSU  is  virtually  unknown  and  we  had  to  prove 
ourselves  as  worthy  opponents,"  Colodny  said.

Women  U  Crew 


Men  'c/  Crew 


The  woman's  crew, 
like  the  men's  team  has  an 
experienced  and  novice 
combination. 

Like  the  men's  team 
they  too  had  a  large  variety  of 
experience  and  backrounds. 

They  too  competed 
in  varying  racing  categories. 

A  definite 
significance  with  women  and 


crew,  is  the  accessibility  the 
sport  has  allowed  for  women. 

As  early  as  the  1 870's 
women  have  rowed  on 
competitive  levels. 

Today  federal 
legislation  on  equitable 
funding  for  school  athletics, 
has  helped  to  expand  the 
amount  of  female  rowing 
teams  in  the  United  States. 


This  men's  crew^  is  a 
combined  team  of  novice  and 
experienced  rowers. 

Some  have  rowed  in 
high  school,  while  others  had 
a  great  deal  less  experience. 
Many  had  not  picked  up  an 
oar  until  joining  this  team. 

The  men's  team 
competed  in  various 
categories  based  on  boat  size 


and  experience. 

This  year's 
experienced  Men's  Four 
qualified  and  raced  in  the 
National  Rowing 
Championships  on 
Philadelphia. 

The  men's  crevi^ 
placed  fifteenth  out  of  thirty 
four  other  competing  schools 
that  participated.

Between  speeches  given  by  either  the  President  or 
Vice  President  of  Student  Affairs  and  a  facuhy  'roast',  a 
comedic  skit  about  faculty  members,  the  new  student 
members  with  an  overall  3.2  GPA  were  inducted  into  the 
Eta  Sigma  Delta  organization.  These  hospitality  majors, 
juniors  and  seniors,  ^ve^e  recognized  in  this  formal, 
ceremonial  way,  keeping  in  mind  the  air  of  lightheartedness 
which  was  purely  evident  because  of  the  comedy  injected 
into  the  evenings  festivities.  The  organization  numbered 
about  1 5  members,  which  made  up  nearly  ten  percent  of  the 
Business  Department. 

HOSPITALITY 
AT  ITS  FINEST 

Once  inducted  into  the  organization,  the  members 
began  their  numerous  tasks.  A  mandatory  requirement  of 
all  members  was  attendance  at  the  two  day  interviewing 
workshops  given.  These  ^vorkshops  entailed  local  general 
managers  from  restaurants  and  hotels  giving  practice 
interviews.  These  30  minute  interviews  exposed  the 
student  to  what  one  could  expect  when  looking  lor  a  job. 

These  -workshops  were  very  helplul  to  the 
students.  Not  only  did  they  learn  what  to  do  and  not  to  do, 
the  managers  who  gave  the  practice  interviews  took  time 
after  the  interview  to  discuss  the  student's  strengths  and 
what  the  student  needed  to  work  on  in  order  to  impress  the 
person  who  could  be  their  future  employer. 

In  November,  the  organization  also  traveled  to 
New  York  City,  N.Y.,  for  the  annual  International  Hotel 
Show. 

"There's  a  booth  set  up  there  to  represent  FSU," 
organization  sponsor  Robert  Brymer  said.  "There  are 
always  two  or  three  students  there  at  the  booth  where  they 
can  meet  and  greet  alumni,  keep  them  up  on  what  the  group 
is  doing.  They  also  meet  and  give  information  to  students 
there  who  might  attend  FSU  and  they  get  to  meet  industry 
representatives  who  are  there.  " 

The  members  got  the  opportunity  to  meet  industry 
representatives  and  could  take  advantage  of  getting  to 
know  what  those  businesses  represented  were  for. 

Yet  another  opportunity  that  the  member  utilized 
was  the  experience  gathered  when  they  went  to  Atlanta, 
Georgia,  and  engaged  in  the  Management  Shadowing 
program. 

"It's  just  as  it  sounds,"  Brymer  said.  "The  student 
is  assigned  to  a  manager  at  the  hotel  and  shadow  them  for 
the  day,  like  a  day  in  the  life.  " 

Members  got  the  hands  on  experience  about  what 
a  hotel  manger's  job  entailed. 

Eta  Sigma  Delta  was  proud  of  the  fact  that  they 
had  nearly  100  percent  job  placement  record.

Being  a  member  of  the  student  chapter  of  the 
Florida  Public  Relations  Association  provided  students 
with  exciting  opportunities.  Last  April,  a  group  of  twenty 
students  took  advantage  of  one  such  opportunity  when 
they  caravaned  to  Atlanta  to  learn  about  various  public 
relations  careers  and  have  some  fun. 

The  first  stop  on  the  schedule...  Shoney's. 
According  to  vice  president  Jason  Burke,  "Everyone 
needed  to  get  organized  (and  eat  a  big  breakfast)  before  the 
long  day  of  touring." 

Next  the  students  visited  the  Atlanta  Braves 
stadium,  where  they  met  with  the  assistant  director  of 

PURSUING 
CAREERS 


public  relations  for  the  almost  World  Champions.  They 
were  given  a  tour  of  the  press  box  and  enjoyed  learning 
about  the  sports  related  areas  of  public  relations. 

"I  am  extrememly  interested  in  the  sports  side  of 
PR.  It  was  interesting  to  learn  about  the  difference  in  the 
job  description  when  you  are  working  for  a  winning  team 
and  when  you're  not,  "  April  Melquist,  a  senior  public 
relations  major,  said. 

After  leaving  the  stadium,  the  students  headed  to 
the  Peachtree  Plaza  for  lunch  with  the  public  relations 
director  for  the  Olympic  Games.  While  the  group  savored 
a  delicious  meal,  they  learned  some  interesting  facts  about 
the  Summer  Games  scheduled  for  1996.  He  told  an 
inspirational  story  about  Atlanta's  reaction  to  the 
announcement  that  they  had  been  selected  as  the  host. 

The  last  official  stop  was  Fleishman  &  Hillard,  a 
PR  firm  that  boasts  Budweiser  as  one  of  their  largest 
accounts.  Here  everyone  had  the  opportunity  to  ask 
several  questions  and  the  most  popular  one  seemed  to  be, 
"How  do  I  get  a  job  when  I  graduate?  ' 

Other  than  asking  questions,  the  students  were 
sho^vn  around  the  office  and  learned  more  about  hoNv  an 
agency  operates. 

The  trip  to  Atlanta  wasn't  all  work  and  no  play. 
The  group  took  advantage  of  some  of  Atlanta's  favorite 
attractions  such  as  Hard  Rock  Cafe,  Macy  s.  Underground 
Atlanta,  the  night  life  at  Buckhead  and  lots  of  other  fun 
spots.  All  of  these  things,  plus  lots  of  walking,  were  part  oif 
the  weekend. 

Tim  Smith  was  one  student  who  took  advantage  of 
the  various  attractions  Atlanta  has  to  offer.  He  and  some 
other  students  were  pleasantly  surprised  when  they  met  the 
actor  Kevin  Nealon  during  their  night  out  on  the  town.  As 
Tim  put  it,  "the  entire  trip  was  an  incredible,  eye-opening 
experience  to  the  opportunities  in  public  relations.  But, 
meeting  Kevin  Nealon  was  a  big  thrill!  " 

"I  really  loved  the  bustling  big  city  atmosphere 
and  everyone  was  so  friendly!  I  can't  wait  to  go  back... 
permanently!  "  Wendy  Diehl  said.

The  1993  football  recruiting  class  was  named  number 
one  m  the  country.  Part  of  the  success  was  attributed  to  the 
efforts  ol  the  official  recruitmg  hostesses,  the  Garnet  and  Gold 
Girls. 

The  Garnet  and  Gold  Girls  was  a  group  of  44  female 
students  who  acted  as  the  official  recruiting  hostesses  for  the 
Athletic  Department.  They  dedicated  their  time  and  service  in 
order  to  recruit  student-athletes.  While  much  of  what  they  did 
was  behind  the  scenes,  this  special  attention  did  not  go 
unnoticedd  by  the  athletes  they  were  recruiting,  nor  the 
athletic  department  that  acted  as  their  guidance. 

The    Garnet    and    Gold    Girls    remained    active 

GIVING  IT  THEIR 


ALL 


throughout  the  year,  as  their  job  did  not  begin  or  end  on  the 
football  field.  Responsibilities  began  with  selection  during  the 
annual  Spring  membership  drive.  After  being  chosen  out  of 
the  pool  ol  applicants,  the  girls  began  their  challenge.  The 
Summer  was  spent  assisting  with  football  camp.  Media  and 
Fan  Appreciation  Day  and  organizational  activities  preparing 
for  the  Fall  rush  of  activities. 

When  football  season  was  in  full  swing,  all  Saturdays 
with  home  games  were  dedicated  to  the  recruitment  ol  high 
school  prospects.  This  included  weekly  meetings,  festivities 
including  tours,  coaches'  meetings,  highlight  fiilms  and 
speeches,  along  with  various  other  activities  appropriated  by 
athletic  department  administration.  Once  the  season  was 
complete,  the  NCAA  official  recruiting  period  began. 
According  to  most  of  the  girls,  this  \vas  the  toughest  and  most 
time  consuming  part  of  the  year. 

"I  enjoyed  meeting  recruits  and  families  from  all  over 
Florida  and  the  country.  It  was  time  consuming  but  worth  it. 
I  definitely  would  do  it  again,"  member  Tammy  Atmore  said. 

Prospects  were  invited  to  a  complimentary  weekend 
stay  in  Tallahassee,  which  included  tours,  meetings  with 
position  coaches  and  academic  advisors,  a  look  at  campus  life 
and  an  occasional  basketball  game  or  dessert  at  Head  Coach 
Bobby  Bowden  s  home.  The  Garnet  and  Gold  Girls  were 
present  at  all  events,  and  provided  a  helping  hand  to  recruits 
and  their  families. 

The  Garnet  and  Gold  Girls  also  provided  spirit  to  the 
football  team  itself.  They  did  this  through  banners,  posters, 
locker  decorations,  visits  to  injured  players  and  their  teammate 
program.  The  teammate  program  matched  up  each  girl  with 
two  or  three  players.  The  girls  decorated  their  lockers  and 
provided  birthday  gifts  as  well  as  various  other  spirit  boosters. 
This  kept  the  girls  active  with  the  current  players  and  enabled 
the  players  to  continue  their  relationship  with  their  recruiters. 

"The  spirit  committee  certainly  contributes  to  the 
football  team  in  a  special  way.  We  provide  a  cheery 
atmosphere,"  Spirit  Committee  Chairman  Lisa  Hardy  said. 

The  organization  also  assisted  with  the  basketball 
recruiting  program,  the  girls  met  the  prospects  for  an 
occasional  meal  or  a  tour  of  the  athletic  facility 

"They  are  an  essential  part  of  the  recruiting  process.  What 
they  do  is  often  underestimated,"  Current  Recruiting 
Coordinator  Ronnie  CottrellCottrell  said.

"We  are  here  to  talk  to  you  about  t^vo  very 
important  issues  in  a  college  student's  lite:  birth  control  and 
STD's,"  began  an  FSU  Today  member.  The  information 
which  followed  proved  shocking.  "One  out  ot  every  ten 
FSU  students  has  condyloma,  commonly  known  as  genital 
warts.  One  out  of  every  87  FSU  students  has  herpes.  One 
out  of  every  50  students  has  the  HIV  virus,  "  continued 
Karlene  Cole  and  Ross  Davis,  members  of  FSU  Today. 

These  statistics  and  dozens  more  were  computed 
by  the  Thagard  Student  Health  Center  and  reported  by 
peer    sex    educators    in    campus    presentations. 

PEER  SEX 


EDUCATION 

Approximately  20  in  all,  these  sex  educators  made  up  FSU 
Today,  short  for  "For  Sexual  Understanding  Today  "  and 
^vere  sponsored  and  trained  by  the  campus  student  health 
center. 

Potential  members  were  selected  through  an 
interview.  Mary  Penny,  the  Health  Educator  at  Thagard 
and  coordinator  of  FSU  Today,  stressed  that  speaking 
ability,  theatrical  ability  and  an  openmindedness  to  sexual 
issues  were  desired  qualities  ot  an  FSU  Today  member.  A 
counselor's  role  is  to  give  information  rather  than  opinions. 
It  is  essential  that  the  member  stay  unbiased 

Four  months  of  rigorous  training  were  required 
before  a  member  may  participate  in  a  public  presentation. 
Meeting  two  hours  weekly,  FSU  Today  members  role- 
played  possible  educator-patient  scenarios  and  reviewed 
communication  approaches. 

"Examining  every  angle  is  crucial  in  determining 
how  information  is  perceived,"  said  Meredith  McNeely,  still 
in  training  with  FSU  Today. 

Each  member  was  also  responsible  for  researching 
one  of  the  following  subjects:  condyloma,  AIDS, 
abstinence,  chlamydia,  the  pill,  STD  testing,  herpes, 
gonorrhea,  and  proper  condom  usage.  The  information  was 
organized  into  a  formal  report  and  distributed  to  all  other 
members. 

"This  way  we  all  learn  from  one-another's  hard 
work,  "  claimed  Heather  Griffin,  also  a  new  FSU  Today 
member. 

After  training  the  fun  begins.  Skits  combined 
humor  with  answers  to  real-life  situations.  Performers  acted 
out  dates  in  w^hich  couples  stumbled  over  the  issue  of 
whether  of  not  to  have  sex.  Myths  were  dispelled  while 
view^ers  were  entertained.  Following  the  presentation  the 
audience  was  asked  to  evaluate  the  performers.  Comments 
were  later  reviewed  and  discussed.  A  doctor  from  the  health 
center  -was  present  at  all  times  to  answer  any  questions  FSU 
Today  members  could  not. 

Taking  new  steps  in  education  and  safety,  FSU 
Today  made  an  impact  on  college  student's  lives.  Wrapping 
up  the  hour  performance,  one  is  reminded  that  ".  .  .FSU 
Today  IS  not  here  to  encourage  sex  or  abstinence,  but  to 
provide  you  with  information  to  make  educated  decisions."

The  FAMU/FSU 
Student  Chapter  of  the 
Institute  of  Industrial 
Engineers  (IIE)  a 
professional  organization. 

The  chapter  kicked 
off  the  year  by  hosting  the  first 
annual  FAMU/FSU  College 
of  Engineering  Hayride, 
which  was  a  huge  success. 

IIE    also    hosted 


seminars  presented  by  a  variety 
Engineering  professionals,  and 
contributed  a  lot  of  energy  to 
Engineer's  Week  activities. 

IIE  co-hosted  the  first 
annual  Carnival  Day  with  the 
American  Society  of  Civil 
Engineers  (ASCE). 

They  also  continued 
the  tradition  of  the  IIE  E^Week 
Jeopardy  Game. 


Last  year  was  a  big 
year  for  the  Perishing  Rifles. 

They  w^ere  very 
involved  in  Memorial  Day 
and  the  activities  that 
accompanied  the  day. 

The  group  traveled 
to  North  Carolina  during  the 
year  to  compete  both 
nationally  and  regionally. 

In  this  competition 


the  Perishing  Rifles  placed 
first  in  their  regional 
competition. 

The  organization 
was  also  very  involved  in  the 
local  inauguration  of  the  VA 
hospitals  outpatient  facility 
and  the  parade  that 
acccompanied  the  ceremony. 

They  were  a  part  of 
Army  ROTC.

The  FAMU/FSU  College  ol  Engineering  suffered 
severe  racial  tensions  in  a  conflict  of  what  some  blamed  on 
white  domination.  Last  Spring,  an  anonymous  graffiti  artist 
spray-painted  the  letters  "KKK"  and  a  misspelled  warning 
"Becalale  "  (Be  careful)  on  the  north  wall  of  the  engineering 
school  building.  The  scribbled  messages  were  just  two- 
dimensional  reminders  of  the  problems  that  divided  many 
engineer  students. 

The  vandalism  occurred  just  a  few  hours  after  a 
meeting  was  held  by  the  COE's  Dean  Ching-Jen  Chen.  The 
Dean  met  with  students  and  discussed  problems  the  students 
wanted  to  change,  especially  the  low  ratio  of  black  professors 
to  the  slight  majority  of  black  students.     Although  the  COE 

RACIAL  TENSIONS 


FLAIR 


only  had  40  percent  from  the  predominantly  black  Florida 
Agricultural  and  Mechanical  University  students,  blacks 
(including  FSU  students)  comprised  46  percent  of  the  student 
body  as  opposed  to  45  percent  of  white  students. 

The  tensions  were  caused  by  the  fact  that  only  four 
black  professors  taught  at  the  college  and  only  85  out  of  795 
bachelor's  degrees  \vere  awarded  to  blacks  in  the  1  Oyears  the 
school  had  existed. 

"A  lot  of  faculty  members  are  unaware  of  how  the 
things  they  do  and  say  make  minority  students  feel,  "  FAMU 
senior  Simon  Johnson  said.  "Students  feel  they  came  to 
FAMU  to  attend  a  Black  college.  But  what  has  happened  is 
they  attend  a  college  of  engineering  which  is  predominantly 
white  and  where  most  of  the  professors  seem  to  have  an 
allegiance  to  FSU,  and  they  don't  get  the  support  they  thought 
they  would  get.  " 

"We  are  students  at  the  FAMU/FSU  not  FSU/ 
FAMU  College  of  Engineering.  This  may  seem  trivial  to  many 
people  at  FSU,  but  it  is  a  mistake  made  so  many  times  by 
people  who  simply  don  t  care  enough  to  get  it  right,  that  we  are 
sick  and  tired  of  it, "  wrote  FSU  engineering  students  Shannon 
Estenoz  and  Jackie  Breiter  in  a  letter  to  the  Flambeau. 

A  protest  rally  brewed  one  day  after  the  meeting 
ended  in  heated  discussion  and  the  graffiti,  allegedly  drawn  by 
a  white  culprit,  was  cleaned  of f  of  the  wall.  Paul  Philpott,  a 
white  engineering  student  who  helped  organize  the  rally, 
wanted  to  put  an  end  to  the  racial  conflicts. 

"As  long  as  FSU  has  something  to  do  with  the 
engineering  school,  Black  students  will  never  feel  comfortable 
and  they'll  never  graduate  in  appreciable  numbers,  "  Philpott 
said.  "White  people  already  have  two  engineering  schools  in 
Florida  and  it's  time  Black  people  had  one.  " 

Others  felt  it  was  the  faculty  and  administration,  not 
their  classmates,  that  caused  the  frustration  and  tension  in  the 
college. 

Even  organizations  within  the  college  tried  to  handle 
the  increased  level  of  animosity  with  positive  thinking. 

"We  just  want  to  have  a  unified  college  again,  ' 
Institute  for  Industrial  Engineers  President  Kit  Kuhlman 
said.  "The  racial  tension  is  not  only  hurting  students,  but  their 
education  as  well."

The  Intel -Residence  Hall  Council  was  an 
organization  representing  over  4,000  on  campus  students 
residing  in  14  residence  halls.    IRHC  had  duel  purposes. 

First,  IRHC  acted  as  a  liaison  between  University 
Housing  and  the  14  residence  hall  governments.  IRHCand 
the  residence  hall  governments  were  like  a  wheel,  with 
IRHC  being  the  hub  of  the  wheel  and  the  14  other  hall 
governments  connected  to  the  hub  acting  as  the  spokes  for 
the  wheel.  IRHC's  liaison  helped  to  coordinate  programs 
and  services  in  the  various  residence  halls. 

The  second  purpose  w^as  to  provide  programming 
and  leadership  opportunities  lor  the  residence  hall  leaders. 

RESIDENCE 
LIVING  MADE 


BETTER 


This  was  accomplished  through  the  different  programs  that 
IRHC  presents  for  all  residents. 

These  programs  could  have  been  in  conjunction 
with  a  planned  week  on  campus  such  as  Alcohol  Awareness 
Week  or  run  during  a  conference  lor  all  the  hall  leaders. 

IRHC  along  with  University  Housing  and  the 
residence  hall  leaders  were  successful  in  hosting  the  second 
annual  conference  for  the  Florida  Association  of  Residence 
Halls  (FARH).  FARH  was  the  state  association  of 
residence  halls.  It  was  comprised  of  different  resident  hall 
associations,  such  as  the  IRHC  from  the  South  Atlantic 
Region  and  the  nation. 

The  University  was  an  affiliated,  dues  paying 
member  of  the  Florida  Association  of  University  Residence 
Halls,  and  the  National  Association  of  College  and 
University  Residence  Halls. 

Conferences  such  as  FARH  helped  the 
development  of  residents  whom  attended  through 
w^orkshops.  These  workshops  focused  on  a  variety  of  issues 
including:  leadership  development,  personal  enhancement 
and  program  development. 

The  residents  who  attended  these  conferences 
explored  critical  issues  that  were  pertinent  to  their  college 
and  university  campuses.  These  residents  were  enhanced 
personally  and  professionally.  Also  the  residents  met  a 
number  of  other  residents  from  different  campuses  around 
the  country.  Meeting  new  people  provided  opportunities 
to  learn  about  each  other  and  the  various  schools. 

FARH  which  was  hosted  on  campus  in  the  Spring 
consisted  of  several  ^vorkshops  on  a  variety  of  issues. 
Residents  from  across  the  state  attended. 

The  state  Board  of  Directors  conducted  it's  annual 
business  meeting  during  the  conference. 

The  conference  was  ended  with  a  dance  presented 
by  Inter-Residence  Hall  Council.  The  delegates  of  the 
conference  enjoyed  the  entertainment. 

The  experience  gained  by  the  conference  and 
hosting  the  event  has  helped  IRHC  to  be  a  continuing 
strong  force  in  the  region,  state  and  nation.

The  most  recent  wave  of  popular  television  shows 
entering  American  homes  over  the  past  few  seasons  was  not  the 
celebrity-based  sitcom  or  nighttime  soap  operas.  The  hottest 
programs  were  actually  live  or  recreated  police  beats  and 
educated  millions  on  the  field  of  criminology.  But  unlike  the 
program  "Cops,"  University  criminology  students  learned  the 
value  ot  belonging  to  Lambda  Alpha  Epsilon,  the  only  fraternal 
organization  at  the  University  dedicated  to  professionalism  in 
the  criminology  field. 

Not  only  was  the  Lambda  chapter  of  LAE  the  largest 
chapter  with  147  members,  but  it  was  also  named  "Chapter  of 
the  Year"  by  its  National  Office  at  the  Annual  Conference  in 
March.  The  Annual  National  Conference  in  Albuquerque, 
New  Mexico,  offered  more  than  workshops  and  awards,  it  gave 


WATCHA  GONNA  DO, 
WHEN  LAE  COMES 


AFTER  YOU? 


students  the  chance  to  use  their  training.  They  were  judged  on 
how  well  they  transformed  book  work  into  real  world  in 
academics,  pistol  competitions,  physical  agility  and  crime 
scene  investigation. 

The  mock  crime  scenario  depicted  financial  fraud 
and  the  Lambda  chapter  successfully  determined  a  network 
analysis  based  on  the  income  and  outcome  of  the  case. 

"It  (the  conference)  is  a  special  and  unique  thing," 
sponsor  Laura  Nagy  said.  "It's  the  only  organization  I  kno^v 
of  to  have  professionals  and  students  working  together  in 
helping  to  stop  crime." 

The  average  police  academy  application  has  taken 
about  eight  months  in  the  past  to  process  and  once  in  the 
program,  connections  and  experienced  backgrounds  were 
essential  to  police  training.  LAE  prepared  students  for  the 
real  \vork  of  police  officers  and  investigators  through 
philanthropic  service,  competition  in  karate  and  pistol  teams, 
fundraising  and  guest  speakers  with  whom  students  made 
professional  contacts  and  learned  about  actual  experiences. 

"We've  got  a  really  aggressive  group  involved  in  all 
aspects  of  criminology  and  criminal  justice,  "  former  LAE 
President  Elizabeth  Motto  said. 

Aside  from  the  victories  won  at  the  National 
Conference,  the  Lambda  chapter  took  home  28  awards  in  the 
regional  competition  held  last  fall  in  Tallahassee  and  LAE's 
karate  team  raised  the  most  money  on  campus  of  any  Sports 
Club  Council  organization  for  the  March  of  Dimes. 

"It  enhanced  our  relationships  with  other 
professional  organizations...  I  learned  a  lot  of  how  to  be  a  team 
member  and  work  together  as  you  -would  in  the  field.  It  ^vas  a 
great  experience  for  me,"  former  Sergeant-at-Arms  Ken 
Koehler  said.

Lambda  Alpha  Epsilon  223 


Experiencing  considerable  growth  since  its 
beginning  in  1949,  the  debate  team  emerged  as  a  contender 
For  the  1992  national  championship.  At  the  national 
competition  held  in  Arlington,  Texas,  29  teams  from  30 
states  participated.  The  University's  team  lost  in  the  final 
round  on  a  fourth  redecision. 

"It  couldn't  have  been  any  closer,  "  James  Brey, 
director  of  the  speech  and  debate  team,  said. 

In  August  1990,  Brey  became  the  director  of  the 
small  and  young  debate  team  with  a  room,  two  coaches  and 
two  debaters.  The  squad  has  grown  to  include  nine  debate 
teams  and  12  people  who  competed  in  individual  events. 

DEBATING  DUKE 
FOR  THE  TITLE 

The  team  has  also  grown  in  status.  The  squad  was 
ranked  23rd  and  had  not  been  that  high  ranking  since  April 
1986.  At  a  prestigious  Round  Robin  invitational  in  St. 
Louis,  Missouri,  the  top  eight  teams  in  the  nation  received 
an  invitation.  This  university  received  two  of  these 
invitations. 

One  of  the  factors  responsible  for  the  team's 
success  was  the  support  from  the  debate  alumni,  Forensics 
department,  administration  and  the  Student  Government 
Association.  Brey  stated  that  the  support  was 
overwhelming. 

The  coaching  staff  was  also  a  factor  for  success. 
There  were  seven  coaches  who  did  a  vast  majority  of  the 
hands  on  coaching.  Many  of  the  coaches  came  into  the 
College  of  Communications  for  their  Master's  degree  or 
doctorate.  These  diverse  graduate  students  were 
responsible  for  their  ow^n  studies,  coaching  and  traveling 
on  the  weekends  to  tournaments. 

The  main  component  in  the  program's  success 
involved  the  student  members.  Their  attention  to  the 
activity  combined  with  their  desire  to  seek  out  members  of 
the  coaching  staff  to  work  with  them  earned  this  team  its 
admirable  reputation.  In  preparation  for  debate 
topics, each  member  compiled  enough  information  to 
equal  two  term  papers  each  week.  Top  debaters  such  as 
Jay  Kanell,  team  captain,  averaged  two  and  a  half  to  three 
term  papers  a  w^eek. 

Despite  their  overwhelming  success,  the  debate 
team  maintained  a  sense  of  modesty.  While  the  team  was 
known  for  its  credibility  it  was  also  noted  for  its 
professionalism. 

"My  kids  are  very  professional  and  very  kind  and 
that's  a  nice  reflection  on  the  university.  It's  not  a  nice 
activity.    It's  very  competitive  in  nature,  "  Brey  said. 

Fellow  students  were  equally  impressed  with  the 
team's  success  and  each  member's  accomplishments. 

"They  are  hardworking  and  dedicated,  real 
student  role  models.  They  also  give  the  college  a  good 
name,  "  junior  Miguel  Fernandez  said. 

James  Brey  worked  hard  to  have  a  nationally 
recognized  program  and  debate  team .  He  said  that  at  times 
he  felt  like  a  parent  —  very  proud  and  protective.

National  Residence  Hall  Honorary 


The  National 
Residence  Hall  Honorary 
was  created  to  recognize 
outstanding  leadership  in  the 
residence  hall.  There  is  a  2.5 
grade  point  average  that  is 
required  to  be  considered  for 
this  organization. 

The  students  have  to 
apply  for  the  honary  and  are 
chosen  by  a  panel  who  will 


participate. 

The  students  also 
must  show  a  vested  interest  in 
their  own  personal  residence 
hall  and  have  a  strong 
leadership  potential.  This  is 
so  the  members  can  take  this 
leadership  quality  to  each  of 
their  respective  halls  and  the 
residence  in  the  halls  will 
benefit.

The 
Student  Alumni 
Association  was 
known  for  its 
support  of 
Alumni. 
Fundraising  was 
a  large  and 
integral  part  of 
the  Association's 
accomplishments . 

One 
fundraiser  that 
SAA  participated 
in  was  envelope 
stuffing. 
Students  give  an 
hour  of  their  time 
to  help  stuff  the 
envelopes  for 
different  events 
for  alumni  of  5  to 
50  years. 

Another 
fundraiser  that 
was  new  this  year 


was  one  that 
concerned  the 
survival  of  exam 
week.  Order 
forms  were  sent 
to  all  freshmen 
parents 
presenting  the 
idea  of  a  packet 
full  of  candy 
along  with  other 
necessary  items 
such  as  a  library 
schedule  and 
other  campus 
information.  This 
particular 
fundraiser  has 
not  only  been  a 
success  for  SAA, 
but  also  a  way  to 
raise  more  money 
so  as  to 
participate  in 
more  alumni  and 
campus  activities. 


The  Student  Alumni  Association  enjoy  meeting  each  other  at  the  "New  Member  Reception"  in  the  fall.

Campus,  347  acres  of  red,  brick  Gothic  structures 
amidst  hovering  oaks,  housed  not  only  lecture  halls,  but 
memories  of  outstanding  alumni.  Since  1909  the  Alumni 
Association,  the  communications  link  between  alumni  and  the 
growing  university,  was  responsible  for  strengthening  the 
Seminole  community.  Through  the  Seminole  Club  network, 
alumni  tours,  away-game  receptions,  Alumni  Spring  Weekend 
and  the  alumni  state  magazine,  we  of  Florida  State  were 
assured  that  its  influence  was  not  a  passing  one. 

"The  Alumni  Association  is  a  records-keeping  and  a 
friends-making  volunteer  group,"  said  Betty  Lou  Joanos, 
Associate   Director  of  the  Alumni   Association  and  former 


LOOKING  BACK 
TO  LOOK  AHEAD 


National  Chairman. 

A  walking  encyclopedia  of  tales,  Joanos,  with 
fondness,  spoke  of  the  deans,  governors  and  alumni  after 
which  the  buildings  were  named.  While  keeping  one  foot  in  the 
door  of  the  future,  the  university  was  solidly  grounded  in 
history. 

"The  most  cherished  of  the  alumni,"  explained 
Joanos,  "were  the  graduates  of  the  Florida  State  College  for 
Women." 

Time  spent  with  these  women  was  highly 
entertaining  as  they  vividly  recalled  Dr.  Katherine  W. 
Montgomery,  after  whom  Montgomery  Gym  was  named,  and 
other  FSU  contributors.  The  Florida  State  College  for 
Women  was  a  highly  recognized  academic  institution. 

"Dr.  Montgomery  was  a  woman  ahead  of  her  time." 
said  Joanos. 

Montgomery  felt  one's  physical  health  was  important 
and  required  one  hour  of  strenuous  daily  exercise  from  her 
students.  As  a  result,  Florida  State  became  recognized  not 
only  for  its  academics,  but  for  its  competitive  athletic  leagues. 
Every  spring  the  Alumni  Association  honors  its  fifty-year 
graduates,  honorary  members  of  the  Emitris  Club. 

Working  closely  with  Seminole  Boosters,  the  Student 
Alumni  Association  and  the  FSU  Foundation,  the  Alumni 
Association  supported  a  database  system  of  more  than  180,000 
graduates  and  friends.  Alumni  showed  their  gratitude  by 
becoming  members  of  local  Seminole  Clubs. 

During  the  Homecoming  w^eekend  Omicron  Delta 
Kappa  honored  three  "Grads  Made  Good"  based  on  their 
achievements  in  their  chosen  field.  Among  these  have  been 
General  Norma  Bro^vn,  the  first  woman  Air  Force  general,  Dr. 
Raul  Guzman,  Director  of  Exiucation  for  the  Philippines  and 
Davis  Gaines,  the  present  Phantom  oi  Phantom  of  the  Opera  in 
California. 

"Working  closely  with  all  aspects  of  the  university, 
the  Alumni  Association  has  strong  leadership  in 
administration's  decision  making  process,  "  said  Joanos. 

Without  hindsight  one  cannot  move  forward 
successfully.  The  Alumni  Association  is  Florida  State's 
hindsight  and  an  integral  part  of  its  successful  future.

Have  you  ever  wanted  to  be  the  next  Cindy 
Crawford,  Naomi  Campbell  or  Beverly  Johnson? 

Perhaps  you  would  have  liked  to  enhance  your 
confidence  or  just  improve  the  way  you  carry  yourself. 
Then  the  Elite  Modeling  Troupe  provided  the  skills 
necessary  to  accomplish  these  goals. 

Formed  in  1988,  the  modeling  troupe  provided  its 
members  with   more  than  a  tew  tashion  tips. 

"We  hold  workshops  on  posture,  poise  and 
etiquette.  We  teach  things  that  carry  over  to  other  aspects 
of  life.  For  instance,  in  a  job  interview  if  you  are  slouched 
over  in  your  chair,  that  sends  a  negative  message  to  the 

STRIKE 

A 

POSE 

potential  employer.  In  Elite,  you  learn  how  to  walk,  keep 
your  back  straight  and  to  exude  confidence,"  President 
Felicia  Brunson  said. 

The  Elite  Modeling  Troupe  put  on  one  major 
fashion  show  during  the  Fall  semester  and  performed 
several  smaller  shows  throughout  the  Spring  and  Summer. 

"The  Spring  and  Summer  semesters  go  by  so  fast 
that  we  don't  have  time  to  comprise  a  major  show. 
However,  we  did  perform  little  fashion  shows  for  the  grand 
opening  of  Governor's  Square  Mall,  the  Caribbean 
Student  Association  and  the  Alpha  Phi  Alpha  Talent 
Show,"  Brunson  said. 

Elite  received  its  clothing  from  local  retail  stores. 
The  clothing  \A^as  not  theirs  to  keep  but  if  they  wanted  to 
purchase  it  they  received  a  20  to  25%  discount. 

However,  Brunson  wanted  to  expand  Elite  past 
the  Tallahassee  city  limits. 

"One  project  w^e  are  working  on  now  is  to  get 
together  with  the  different  modeling  troupes  from  colleges 
in  the  South  to  form  a  universal  modeling  troupe  that 
performs  fashion  shows  at  different  schools,  "  Brunson 
said. 

Elite  held  tryouts  every  Fall  semester.  They 
consisted  of  interviews  and  the  workshops.  Those  who 
possessed  the  necessary  qualities  were  asked  to  join  this 
prestigious  group. 

This  modeling  troupe  was  not  all  glitz  and  glamour 
as  discipline  and  dedication  were  tw^o  qualities  that  Elite 
looked  for  in  potential  members. 

"Physically,  we  take  a  wide  range  of  people.  But 
mostly  we  look  for  people  who  are  open  to  criticism.  Also, 
you  have  to  maintain  a  certain  weight.  In  the  past,  we've 
had  members  doing  sit-ups  or  running  an  hour  before  the 
show  just  so  they  can  fit  into  their  outfit,"  Brunson  said.

Students  supporting 
students  Is  an  organization 
that  is  concerned  with  the 
multicultural  students. 

All  members  must  be 
must  be  be  members  of  the 
Multicultural  Student 
Support  Center. 

The  Students  were 
concerned  with  the  increase 
of  members'   self-  esteem, 


their  confidence,  their  moral 
values,  and  their  promotion  of 
the  value  of  higher  education 
to  a  person's  future. 

The  idea  of  the 
Multicultural  Center  was  to 
increase  the  academic 
achievements  of  the  group. 
There  was  also  a  need  to 
produce  a  social  excellance 
among  the  groups  members. 


Seminole 
Ambassadors  was  a  select 
group  of  students  who 
worked  directly  with  the 
office  of  admissions.  They 
assisted  them  in  their 
recruiting  efforts. 

At  admissions 
sessions  on  Monday  and 
Friday  the  ambassadors 
provided    prospective 


students  and  their  parents 
with  the  opportunity  to 
question  on  college  life  and 
asssisted  with  walking  tours 
of  campus.  They  felt  they 
were  a  source  of  information. 
They  also  received 
allocations  from  Student 
Government  to  visit  Florida 
area  high  schools  for 
recruitment  purposes.

The  longest  standing  athletic  organization  at 
Florida  State,  the  Tarpons,  began  in  1937  as  a  Lile  Saving 
Core  run  out  oF  Montgomery  Gym.  At  that  time  the  focus 
was  safety.  What  began  as  an  athletic  event  became  a  water 
art.  The  tarpons  were  the  oldest  continuing  synchronized 
swimming  club  in  the  nation  and  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
National  Institute  for  Creative  Aquatics  remained  an 
intricate  part  of  creative  s'wimming. 

"We  have  always  been  focused  on  the  art  rather 
than  the  sport  of  synchronized  swimming,  "  Alicia  Crew, 
coach  for  the  Tarpons,  said. 


SENSATIONAL 
SWIMMING 


Funded  by  student  government  to  perform  a  home 
show  in  the  Spring,  more  funding  was  needed  to  be  a 
competitive  league. 

During  the  1940s  through  the  1950s  synchronized 
swimming  started  as  the  American  Amateur  Union.  The 
tradition  continued  throughout  the  1960s  and  early  1970s 
as  the  International  Academy  of  Aquatic  Art.  Interested  in 
preserving  synchronized  swimming  as  a  creative  outlet, 
FSU  helped  found  the  national  Institute  for  Creative 
Aquatics.  When  the  organization  folded  in  1989,  the  only 
remaining  outlet  for  non-competitive  groups  was  U.S. 
Synchro. 

Allegra  Whitney,  a  past  Tarpon  member, 
explained  the  process  of  becoming  an  honorary  tarpon. 
During  the  first  year  of  swimming  with  the  tarpons,  one  was 
assigned  meno  ranking.  After  the  first  Spring  Home  Show 
and  an  initiation  ceremony,  one  was  an  official  tarpon. 

"  I  ve  always  wanted  to  be  a  dancer  and  I  ve  been  a 
competitive  swimmer,"  Whitney  said.  "The  tarpons  are  a 
cool  combination!" 

Practice  was  two  nights  a  week  for  for  tarpons  and 
three  nights  a  week  for  menos.  Choreography  was  left  up 
to  the  members  and  anyone  was  free  to  participate.  All 
pieces,  from  pop  to  Beethoven  were  rehearsed  and 
performed  at  the  Home  Show. 

The  long  rehearsals  were  needed  due  to  the 
strength  required  to  perform  in  the  water.  Eggbeaters,  a 
rotation  done  with  the  legs,  allowed  the  swimmer  to  sit 
upright  in  the  water  and  to  use  the  arms  for  ballet  motions. 
When  hands  were  underwater,  they  were  used  to  propel  the 
body.  The  Windmill  or  Sculling,  performed  with  he  hands, 
changed  the  body's  direction  in  a  graceful  fashion. 

When  underwater,  goggles  and  underw^ater 
speakers  were  used  to  rehearse  the  routine.  When  the 
goggles  were  removed  for  performances,  the  underwater 
speakers  kept  the  swimmers  impressively  synchronized. 

The  dedication  of  the  tarpons  went  beyond  their 
obvious  dexterity  in  the  water.  Sets  and  suits,  though 
partially  provided  by  Student  Government,  were  provided 
by  the  members.  Besides  being  a  physical  outlet,  the 
Tarpon  club  opened  up  creative  and  leadership  outlets 
appreciated  by  its  members.

Moot  Court  was  an  active  and  successful 
organization  ot  the  university's  law  school.  It  conducted 
mock  trials  and  gave  law  students  an  opportunity  to 
experience  courtroom  procedure. 

Moot  Court  was  extremely  selective  in  its 
membership.  Ol  the  132  applicants,  only  14  were  chosen  to 
become  part  of  the  group.  Membership  was  open  to  hrst 
year  second  semester  and  second  year  law  students. 

Competition  was  divided  into  mock  trial  and 
appellate  court  categories. 

The  mock  trial  division  entailed  participants 
conducting  fictitious  trials  in  the  presence  of  judges.  Roles 
were  enacted  in  a  realistic  fashion  and  participants  were 
scaled  accordingly. 

In  the  appellate  court  division,  members  enacted 
the  roles  of  those  in  district  and  supreme  court  hearings. 
The  cases  tried  involved  a  comprehensive  understanding  of 
the  different  areas  of  law. 

The  diverse  exposure  ot  the  various  facets  ot  law 
practice  gave  Moot  Court  members  a  more  well-rounded

education  concerning  law  procedures.  Having  learned  to 
apply  the  ■written  text  to  verbal  arguments  gave  the  select 
fourteen  an  edge  over  those  denied  of  the  opportunity  to 
refine  courtroom  presentation  skills. 

"The  cases  involved  criminal,  constitutional, 
patent,  entertainment  and  security  law.  We  cover 
everything,  "  Barbara  Smith,  president  of  Moot  Court,  said. 

Participants  were  judged  based  upon  the 
coherence  of  their  legal  arguments,  their  presentation  skills 
and  their  ability  to  answer  judges '  questions  accurately  and 
with  confidence. 

Extemporaneous  responses  demanded  strategic 
thinking,  impossible  to  be  fully  developed  outside  of  the 
courtroom. 

In  the  most  recent  competition,  the  organization 
received  first  place  at  state  level.  Moot  Court's  snowballed 
success  resulted  in  a  first  place  ranking  at  national  level. 
Awarded  best  brief  and  best  oralist,  the  team  wound  up  the 
season  with  a  tremendous  payoff  for  their  hard  work  and 
polished  style. 

"It's  a  wonderful  experience.  It  gets  you  thinking 
on  your  feet,"  Smith  said.

It  started  in  January,  when  it  was  discovered  that 
ayear's  worth  of  advertising  budget  money  had  been  spent 
in  only  one  semester.  Then  the  cabinet  resignations  were 
turned  in  from  every  direction  and  interpersonal  conflicts 
came  between  the  legislative  and  executive  branches.  The 
Student  Government  Association  faced  criticisms  of

was  rejected  by  the  Senate  for  the  paid  position  of  director 
of  public  relations  based  on  his  character  and  previous 
record. 

Instead  of  filling  the  director  position,  Belin  let 
Sullivan  handle  all  SGA  advertisements  which  gave  him 
the  duties  of  director,  but  unofficially. 

Sullivan  managed  to  spend  $27,711.95  between 
the  months  of  July  and  December.  The  annual  budget  for 
advertising  was  only  $30,000  which  forced  Belin  to  take 
responsibility  and  ask  Senate  to  allocate  $10,000  from  the 
senate  projects  budget  to  cover  Spring  advertisement 
costs. 

"Without  advertising  dollars  we  cannot  operate 
student  government  at  all,"  senate  president  pro  tem  Jon 
Snell  said. 

It-was  then  Senate's  turn  toslapthe  wrists  of  Belin 
and  those  who  did  not  heed  their  advice.  They  voted 
against  the  allocation  but  granted  $1200  to  continue 
advertising  until  the  mismanaged  funds  could  be 
investigated  by  the  judicial  branch. 

"It's  my  responsibility,  "  Belin  said.  "If  they  want 
to  waste  their  time  investigating,  they're  more  than 
welcome  to.  " 

Some  student  senators,  however,  felt  the 
responsibility  landed  on  Sullivan's  lack  of  fund 
management. 

"  He  was  the  one  making  the  decisions,  "  Snell  said. 
"He  was  the  one  running  the  ads.  " 

But  Sullivan  believed  he  was  just  doing  his  job 
and  said  he  only  ran  ads  that  publicized  important  events. 

"Whatever  the  Cabinet  decides  to  advertise,  gets 
advertised.  I'm  the  first  person  to  do  that  statutory  job 
correctly,  "  Sullivan  said. 

Others  still  blamed  Belin  and  admitted  the 
students  footed  the  bill  for  a  deficit  made  in  the  middle  of 
the  year. 

"  I  think  the  whole  situation  is  a  shame  and  I  think 
the  students  are  going  to  end  up  paying  for  it,  literally. 
Senate  has  no  choice,  "  student  senator  Wendy  Stephen 
said.

Cabinet  (  continued  from  page  235) 
Resignations  in  Belin  's  Cabinet  were  also  hard  to  manage  as 
seven   members   stepped  down   from   their  positions   tor 
various  reasons. 

Four  resignations  occurred  before  Winter  Break 
and  in  February,  legislative  relations  director  Terry  Clark 
and  management  and  budget  director  Corey  King  resigned 
amidst  political  differences  with  their  positions  and  the 
administration. 

"She  (Belin)  didn't  like  the  way  I  vvas  representing 
her  in  the  senate,  "  Clark  said.  "She  thought  I  was  too  pro- 
senate  and  she  didn't  feel  like  I  w^as  a  Cabinet  team  player.  " 

King,  on  the  other  hand,  resigned  after  he  was 
criticized  for  his  failure  to  turn  in  budget  requests  on  time 
which  led  to  budget  delays  for  campus  organizations.  He 
defended  his  criticized  performance  with  a  student  first, 
director  second  attitude  and  said  he  had  little  time  and  no 
instruction  when  he  tried  to  complete  the  request  forms. 

"A  week  is  unrealistic  for  students,  "  King  said. 
"  I'm  a  student  and  I  don  t  sit  in  my  office  from  8  a.m.  to  5  p.m. 
I  have  classes.  " 

Upon  resignation,  he  said,  "I  think  there  comes  a 
time  in  a  student's  career  \vhen  he  has  to  move  on." 

In  March,  another  cabinet  member  leh  her  post 
because  of  personal  discrepancies  with  Jeanne  Belin. 
Carrie  Ann  Pollock,  director  of  special  projects,  said  Belin's 
attitude  toward  her  changed  when  she  changed  political 
parties. 

"I  find  that  many  things  which  were  once  so 
familiar  have  drastically  changed.  Strong  and  dear  alliances 
have  sadly  regressed  from  those  of  camaraderie  and  unity  to 
those  of  spite  and  ostracism,  "  Pollock  said. 

Friction  among  political  ambition-mongers  was 
cited  by  many  as  the  reason  for  the  rampant  resignations 
and  miscommunication  within  SGA. 

King  said,  "There  are  a  lot  of  partisan  politics  going 
on  and  students  are  looking  for  reasons  to  lash-out  at  each 
other  and  I  don't  think  that  provides  a  very  positive 
environment  for  students  to  grow."

interviewing  of  candidates  for 
all  positions  in  SGA  and  all 
constitutional  appointments 
(presidential  and  otherwise). 
Once  a  candidate  had  been 
interviewed  by  the  E&A 
Committee,  he  or  she  was 
presented  before  the  entire 


senate  along  wth  a  synopsis 
of  the  interview  and  the 
committee's  recommendation 
as  to  the  candidate's 
appointment. 

Any  issues

E&A  Committee,  especially 
those  dealing  with  the 
Ejection  Code.

worked  in  conjunction  with 
the  Executive  branch's 
Director  of  Student 
Lobbying  to  lobby  the

The  Services  and 
Academics  (S&A)  Committee 
dealt  mainly  with  the 
evaluation  and  proposed 
improvement  of  existing 
offerings  by  Student 
Government. 

The  Service  and

The  North  versus  the  South. 

The  HatFields  versus  the  McCoys. 

These  quintessential  battles  were  compared  to  that  of 
the  graduate  students  versus  the  undergraduate  students  in 
the  battle  lor  control  over  Activity  and  Service  fee  money.  The 
two  forces  clashed  over  the  issue  of  who  should  control  the 
graduate  students'  contribution  to  A&S  fees. 
Comprising  over  20%  of  the  student  body,  the  graduate 
students  contributed  over  $1.1  million  to  the  almost  $5  million 
annual  A&S  fee  budget. 

The   budget   was   annually   allocated   by   Student 

GRADUATE 

STUDENTS 

GOVERN  THEIR 

OWN 

Government  Association  to  its  various  agencies  and  bureaus. 

Student  Government  was  traditionally  controlled  by 
undergraduates,  with  graduate  students  occasionally 
occupying  a  few  student  senate  seats  and  maybe  a  cabinet 
position.  Graduate  students  claimed  that  the  undergraduate- 
dominated  student  government  was  unresponsive  to  their 
needs  and  proposed  a  separation  of  graduate  students  from  the 
current  SGA. 

"If  we  don't  separate,  then  student  government  won't 
look  at  our  concerns,"  history  department  graduate  student 
Anne  Holt  said. 

Before  the  proposed  separation.  Graduate  Students 
United  was  the  only  agency  dedicated  exclusively  to  graduate 
students'  needs. 

GSU's  Board  of  Directors  was  elected  in  the  Fall 
solely  by  fellow  graduate  students.  GSU's  A&S  funding  was 
approximately  $30,000  annually,  a  far  cry  from  the  $1.1  million 
that  they  contributed  to  the  $5  million  budget.  This  proved  to 
be  a  major  reason  for  the  proposed  secession. 

"It  is  important  that  we  declare  ourselves 
autonomous,  "  GSU  member  David  Stern  said. 

The  ashes  of  those  problems  arose  a  phoenix,  a  task 
force  created  with  the  help  of  the  Vice  President  of  Student 
Affairs  Dr.  Jon  Dalton.  The  Committee  on  Graduate  Students 
Concerns  was  designed  to  address  the  concerns  of  the 
graduate  students. 

Its  creation  came  after  the  first  of  two  constitutional 
conventions  in  ■which  graduate  students  convened  to 
formulate  and  ratify  a  constitution  and  to  declare  their 
independence  from  the  SGA. 

At  the  first  convention,  there  w^as  much  confusion  and 
secession  was  not  the  unanimous  solution.

Continued  (from  page  239) 
Student  Senate  President  Jennifer  Tankersley 
attended   the  convention   to  lobby  delegates 
against  the  proposed  separation. 

One  major  problem  admitted  by  the 
graduate    students    and    evident    at    the 
convention  was  the  lack  of  time  they  had  for 
such  extra-curricular  activities  as  Student 
Government. 

"We  are  to  blame.  Graduate  students 
never  show  up  lor  anything.  We  just  have  too 
many  other  responsibilities,  "  Jett  Neuman 
said. 

The  second  convention  brought 
progress  and  a  compromise.  The  Congress  ol 
Graduate  Students  ■was  formed  and  its 
constitution  ratified. 

Under  the  SGA  proposal,  COGS 
would  operate  as  an  agency  with  an  annual 
budget  ol  11%  ol  what  graduate  students 
contribute  overall  in  A&S  lees.  In  addition,  a 
separate  division  of  senators  was  created  in  the 
Student  Senate  comprised  only  ol  graduate 
students  and  known  as  the  Graduate  Studies 


division.  Under  this  division  there  was  one 
graduate  senator  lor  every  499  graduate 
students. 

Both  sides  seemed  to  be  pleased  with 
this  proposal  and  alter  countless  hours  of 
deliberation,  it  was  finally  accepted. 

"Our  motto  is  'Unity  through 
diversity,'  and  I  believe  this  proposal 
recognizes  the  graduate  students  as  a  distinct 
entity  while  keeping  the  entire  student 
government  together,  "  Belin  said. 

"All  this  IS  certainly  prool  that  we  do 
have  a  lot  ol  muscle  and  people  are  finally 
listening  to  us,  "  Holt  said. 

Upon  reaching  this  compromise, 
COGS  was  appropriated  $75,000  in  the  1993- 
94  fiscal  year  budget  to  get  their  government 
started  and  plans  were  underway  to  renovate 
one  ol  the  old  Iraternity  houses  oil  of 
Wildwood  Drive  to  serve  as  olfices. 

The  realignment  of  the  student  senate 
was  also  due  to  take  ellect  with  the  beginning 
ol  the  new  school  year  in  the  Fall. 


Senate  Leadership

governmental  needs  of  the 
students  body  as  providing

Jl  OLLi  hair  would  not  do  right,  you  could  not  find  anything 
to  wear,  your  face  broke  out.  What  was  the  special  occasion? 
You  were  trying  for  a  "new  look"  for  those  annual  yearbook 
portraits.  You  \vanted  to  lookyour  best  because  the  proofs  were 
sent  home  for  mom  and  dad  to  see.  They  chose  the  portrait  which 
would  appear  in  the  yearbook. 

Many  students  hated  the  thought  of  having  to  smile  for  the 
camera,  year  in  and  year  out.  As  new  faces  moved  into  the 
university  community,  old  faces  moved  on  to  the  working  world. 
With  those  new  people  came  new  ideas  and  solutions  to 
problems. 

The  university  was  supported  and  controlled  by  people.  They 
kept  it  alive  and  functioning.  Students  had  the  power  to  state 
their  opinions  and  make  the  campus  into  what  they  wanted.  The 
school  revolved  around  its  people  and  their  attitudes. 

With  people  from  every  culture  and  background, 
approximately  29,000  students  made  the  university  a  diverse 
community.  The  opportunities  were  endless  to  meet  new  people, 
make  unique  friends,  and  share  multi-cultural  experiences.  With 
help  from  each  other,  we  were  able  to  take  a  new  look  at  each 
individual.

Memories 


On  July  29  FSU  lost 
one  of  its  most 
recognizable  and  avid 
tans,  when  Fred  Miller 
died  irom  a  pulmonary 
embolism  at  the  age  of 
38.  He  was  best  known 
as  "Fred  the  Head" 
because  of  the  Seminole 
emblem  he  had  painted  on  his  shaved  head 
at  all  sporting  events. 

Funeral  services  reflected  Miller's  first 
love:  Seminole  football.  His  jersey  with  the 
number  29  and  his  name  hung  in  memorial. 

Head    Coach     _^ — 

hiobby  oowden 
delivered  the 
e  u  1  o  g  y  while 
1  o  r  m  e  r 
teammates 
presided  over 
the  ceremonies. 
"We  were 
shocked  when 
we  got  the  news 
Fred  had  died," 
Bowden,  who 
coached  Miller 
in  1976,  said. 
"I'll  always 
remember  him 
as    one    of  our 

most    spirited  

players  and  alumni.  He  was  a  daring  and 
courageous  football  player  and  a  happy 
person  to  be  around.  We'll  miss  him." 

Miller's  career  at  FSU  began  when  he 
accepted  a  football  scholarship  here.  He 
made  an  impact  in  1972  as  a  running  back, 
sustaining  many  injuries  that  sidelined  his 
career.  When  he  was  moved  to  the  position 
ol  linebacker.  Miller  ran  headlong  into  a 
ball  carrier,  received  a  serious  concussion 
and  was  asked  to  give  up  his  football  career. 
"Fred  never  gave  up.  He  went  out  for 
cheerleading,  made  head  cheerleader  and 
has  been  The  Head'  cheerleader  ever 
since,  "said  longtime  friend  Andy  Miller. 

Although  his  death  came  suddenly, 
Miller  had  made  his  funeral  requests 
known.  He  was  cremated  and  his  ashes 
were  scattered  at  Doak  Campbell  where  he 
would  forever  remain  in  the  hearts  and 
minds  of  Seminole  fans.

SAYING 
GOODBYE 


The  Mecca  Grill  was  a 
place  where  students 
could  grab  a  bite  to  eat 
beween  classes  or  sip  on 
frozen  margaritas.  It  was  a 
restaurant  Seminoles 
could  count  on  when  they 
came  to  watch  a  game  on  a 
big  screen  television  in  an 
atmosphere  ol  fun  and  tradition.  However, 
the  Mecca  tradition  ended  after  AA  years  of 
"goodtime"  food  and  less  than  ayear  after  the 
newly-designed  Mecca  Grill  w^as  born. 

The  Mecca  was  originally  a  '50's  diner  run 
by  two  brothers,  Gene  and  Clyde  Blount,  who 

bought  the  Mecca 
in  the  '70's  and 
sold  it  in  the  '80's. 
Years  later, 
plans  started 
forming  to  create 
a  '90's  version  of 
the  Mecca  which 
would  provide 
customers  with 
good  service, 
healthier  food  and 
alcoholic 
beverages.  The 
Mecca  Grill,  as  it  The  emptiness  of  the  res- 
was  renamed,  was  taurant  shows  the  unfor-

cafeteria  into  a  checkered-tablecloth 
restaurant  that  ended  up  losing  more  money 
than  it  could  afford  to  stay  in  business. 

"I  loved  it  here  and  I  tried  to  make  it  work," 
Mecca  manager  and  part-owner  David 
Maluff  said.  "I  thought  it  would  stay  here  a 
long  time." 

Maluff  and  partners  decided  to  close  the 
restaurant  at  the  end  of  December,  after  losing 
$300,000,  almost  twice  the  amount  they 
invested  to  create  it. 

Maluff  believed  the  Mecca  Grill  failed 
because  the  lunch  crowd  was  unable  to 
compensate  for  the  losses  in  evening  sales. 

The  students,  as  well  as  the  owners,  were 
sad  to  see  the  campus  eating  place  go. 

"It's  a  shame  it  had  to  close,"  student  Rich 
Hernandez  said.

AIMING  FOR  THE 
TOP 

Superwoman  Sandy  Ames  was  like  a 
burst  ot  energy.  Ames,  a  charter  member  of 
Sigma  Sigma  Sigma,  wore  many  hats  in  a 
single  day.  In  addition  to  being  a  full  time 
student,  this  junior  communication  major 
was  a  disc  jockey  on  WFHT  Hot  10L5. 

"I  used  to  work  the  late  night  shift; 
however, I  just  got  promoted  to  the 
weekend  shift  from  2:00  to  6:00pm,"  Ames 
said. 

Ames  used  the  name  Sandy  "Stone"  on 
the  air.  She  also  had  an  internship  at  the 
station  in  advertising  sales  and 
promotions.  While  she  loved  selling  and  the 
radio  business,  she  did  not  plan  on  stopping 
there. 

"I  could  never  do  the  same  thing 
everyday.  It's  )ust  not  me.  I  have  an  idea  for 
my  own  business  and  one  day  I  plan  to  make 
it  happen,"  Ames  said. 

Making  things  happen  seemed  to  come 
easy  for  this  lady.  Last  summer  she  worked 
for  a  carnival  and  made  lots  of  cash. 

"They  (the  carnival)  had  a  game  that 
was  the  lowest  grossing  game  in  the  entire 
fair.  They  were  going  to  get  rid  ol  it  but  they 
put  me  on  this  game  to  see  how  it  would 
work  with  someone  like  me  running  it. 
Within  one  weekend  I  out-grossed  the 
entire  lair,"  Ames  said. 

Ames'  accomplishments  did  not  stop 
there.  She  held  the  ofhce  of  sisterhood 
chairperson  for  her  sorority.  She  also 
received  a  sorority  scholarship  ring  for 
earning  a  4.0  GPA  tor  two  consecutive 
semesters  and  has  been  on  the  dean's  list 
since  she  arrived  at  the  University. 

Ames  also  belonged  to  organizations 
such  as  The  Regional  Student  Leadership 
Counsel,  GAMMA  and  Golden  Key 
National  Honor  Society.  She  has  actively 
taken  part  in  Golden  Key's  "Just  Say  No" 
speech  campaign  and  has  helped  with  anti- 
drug presentations  at  various  middle 
schools  in  Leon  County. 

"You  can't  live  life  being  scared  because 
that's  not  really  living,"  Ames  said. 

Despite  her  achievements,  Ames 
maintained  a  level  head.  She  credited  her 
humbleness  to  working  with  the  carnival. 
"At  the  carnival  you  get  dirt  under  your 
fingernails  and  you  don't  get  a  chance  to 
take  a  shower.  People  would  treat  you 
differently.  I  learned  to  accept  people  and 
things  for  what  they  are,"  Ames  said. 

Ames  would  be  the  first  to  admit  that 
there  was  still  room  for  growth  in  the 
future. 

"One  of  my  favorite  quotes  goes  like 
this  :  I'm  superior  to  no  man  because 
everyone  I  meet  can  always  teach  me 
something,  "'  Ames  said.

CREDIT 

CARD 

CRUNCH 


It  was  quite  harmless  to  begin 
with,  you  had  filled  out  the  application  and 
sent  it  back  to  see  what  your  limit  would  be 
not  realizing  that  this  simple  piece  ol  plastic 
you  now  held  in  your  hand  could  do  so 
much  damage.  But  now  it  had  happened 
and  the  damage  was  done.  You  were 
walking  through  the  mall  minding  your 
own  business  when  you  had  passed  by  the 
store  window  and  there  had  been  the  one 
piece  of  clothing  you  needed  more  than 
anything  but  how  to  pay  tor  it  was  the 
question. 

Betoreyou  knew  ityou  were  at  the 
counter  ready  to  pay  and  all  you  had  to  do 
was  pull  outyour  credit  card.  But  wait,  was 
this  piece  ol  plastic  Iriend  or  foe? 

For  many  students  credit  cards 
were  a  great  ■way  to  buy  because  ol  the  pay 
later"  terms  of  the  card,  but  could  the  credit 
card  become  a  problem  later?  Yes,  it  would. 
With  annual  interest  rates  varying  with 
each  card,  students  often  paid  more  than 
they  had  expected  or  had  the  money  to  pay 
with. 

"I  was  shocked  to  find  out  how 
much  my  bills  were  for  the  month  and  also 
how  many  cards  I  had,"  senior  Misty 
Farro"w  said. 

Many  students  did  not  realize  the 
impact  of  having  more  than  one  or  two 
credit  cards.  Some  had  Visa,  Master  Card 
or  Discover  with  annual  interest  rates  of 
around  14%  for  students  with  little  or  no 
credit  history. 

"It's  too  easy  charge,  I  don't  realize 
all  the  damage  I'm  doing  to  my  bank 
account  until  I  get  my  Visa  bill,  "  Catherine 
Wright  said. 

The  credit  card  and  all  of  its 
privileges  may  have  been  appealing  to  some 
shoppers,  but  for  others  it  was  something  to 
stay  away  from  completely. 

"I  just  don't  own  a  credit  card,  it's 
that  simple,  "  Laura  Webb  said. 

Staying  away  from  the  magnetic 
piece  of  plastic  w^as  hard,  but  for  those  ^vho 
remembered  that  awful  day  when  they 
opened  their  mailbox  and  pulled  out  the 
Visa  or  Master  Card  bill  for  two  times  the 
amount  they  had  in  their  checking  account 
and  the  phone  call  they  had  to  make  to  mom, 
they  pulled  that  card  out  of  their  wallet  and 
walking  by  the  same  store  window  tossed 
that  card  in  the  trash  can.

CAMPUS 
CLEANUP 


A  recycling  office  was  established 
in  the  fall  to  oversee  and  coordinate  all 
recycling  efforts  on  campus.  Since  then, 
recycling  stations  had  been  placed  at  all  the 
major  academic  buildings.  Dumpsters  were 
placed  between  Smith  and  Salley  Halls, 
behind  Dorman  and  Devinney  Halls  and  at 
Degralt  Hall  which  served  its  residents  and 
nearby  traternities.  Recycling  stations  were 
placed  at  each  ol  the  scholarship  houses  and 
several  Greek  houses  received  recycling 
dumpsters  from  the  city.  For  students, 
recycling  accommodations  had  been  made 
for  glass,  aluminum,  and  new^spapers.  For 
University  employees,  accomodations  had 
been  made  for  cardboard  and  mixed  office 
paper. 

With  this  intense  recycling 
movement,  the  University  had  no  problem 
living  up  to  a  Florida  state  mandate  that 
made  government  and  public  agencies 
recycle  at  least  30  percent  ol  their  garbage  by 
1994.  Unfortunately,  the  movement  had  to 
overcome  a  variety  of  obstacles. 

Recycling  bins  which  were  placed 
along  campus  walkways  were  used  for 
garbage  by  the  students.  These  boxes  were 
eventually  removed  altogether  until 
something  better  could  be  done. 

Fraternities  and  sororities  which 
tried  to  obtain  dumpsters  from  the  city  could 
not  get  them  because  the  city  distributed  all 
that  they  had  to  apartment  complexes,  the 
University  and  private  dormitories. 

"All  of  our  'mixed  recyclables' 
dumpsters  were  given  out  to  the  apartment 
complexes  in  the  area.  We  won't  be  able  to 
have  anymore  built  until  next  Fall , "  Richard 
Gunnels,  Coordinator  for  the  City  of 
Tallahassee  Recycling,  said. 

A  committee  was  formed  to  lobby 
the  University  into  allocating  more  funds 
and  resources  for  its  recycling  program. 
Two  different  groups  of  students,  as  part  of 
class  projects,  organized  ongoing  statistical 
surveys  and  questionnaires  to  encourage 
students  to  recycle.  The  Department  of 
Psychology  monitored  the  effects  of  placing 
the  actual  types  of  items  to  recycle  over  each 
of  their  respective  bins,  with  the  premise  of 
prompting  people  to  take  action  by  causing 
people  to  realize  the  products  they  recycled. 

"If  the  option  is  there,  I  will  recycle. 
Fm  sure  there  are  many  tactful  ways  to 
remedy  the  recycling  problems  on  campus.  I 
think  it's  come  to,  and  should  be,  a  matter  of 
moral  judgment  to  recycle,  "  Chris  Stringer, 
Lambda  Chi  Alpha  fraternity  member  said.

BEATING 
THE  ODDS 


Known  to  her  students  as  B.J. 
or  Dr.  B.J.,  Brenda  Jarmon  held  open, 
down  to  earth,  flexible  classes. 

"I  can  learn  from  my  students 
and  they  can  learn  from  me,"  Jarmon 
said. 

Numerous  honors  have  been 
bestowed  upon  Jarmon,  such  as  1986 
Academic  All  American,  1992 
Outstanding  Adult  Learner,  an  induction 
to  the  Job  Corps  Hall  of  Fame  and  an 
appointment  as  Assistant  Professor  of  the 
School  of  Social  Work. 

At  age  14,  Jarmon  had  her  first 
child  aftergetting  kicked  out  ol  school .  At 
16,  she  had  her  second  child  and  recalled 
her  parents  making  it  clear  that  her 
children  were  her  responsibility.  Near 
age  18,  she  decided  not  to  spend  the  rest 
of  her  life  pulling  out  chicken  guts,  which 
happened  to  be  her  occupation  at  the  time. 
Jarmon  received  her  GED  and  took  a 
secretarial  position  at  Delaware  State 
College  in  1970.  Jarmon  took  advantage 
of  the  two  free  classes  each  semester  that 
came  with  her  job.  She  acquired  enough 
hours  to  earn  her  Associate  of  Arts  in 
1981.  She  completed  her  Bachelor  of 
Science  in  Science  and  Business 
Administration  with  a  minor  in 
accounting  in  1982. 

After  19  years  of  night  school, 
she  became  Dr.  Jarmon  through  the 
Florida  Endowment  Fund. 

She  started  her  dissertation 
called  "Targeting  the  'Real'  Economic 
Cost  of  Teen  Pregnancy:  A  Skill  Building 
Approach  for  Early  Adolescence.  "  The 
research  addressed  improving  early 
adolescence  by  problem  solving/  decision 
making  skills  related  to  peer  pressure. 
Skipping  school,  drug  and  alcohol  abuse, 
and  early  sexual  involvement  were 
problems  she  targeted  by  building  self 
esteem  and  internal  focus  of  control. 

In  the  long  run,  Jarmon  wanted  to  use 
the  model  to  enhance  the  school  system 
and  offer  classes  to  young  students. 
Jarmon  said  there  also  must  be  an 
reeducation  of  parents  . 

Jarmon's  goal  was  to  teach 
adolescents  how  to  think,  not  what  to 
think. 

"Everyone  needs 
encouragement  or  a  pat  on  the  back  once 
in  awhile,  many  kids  don't  get  that.  If  I 
reach  just  one  child,  then  my  life  has  not 
been  in  vain,"  Jarmon  said.

ROCKIN 
ON 


Local  bands  and 
businesses  came  to  the 
aid  of  the  vandalized 
student-run  radio 
station  WVFS  (V-89), 
which  was  housed  on 
the  university's 
campus  in  the 
Ditfenbaugh  building  . 

On  Dec.  30,  Charles  Franklin  walked  into 
V-89  and  began  destroying  over  $12,000 
worth  ot  radio  equipment.  Franklin  was 
arrested  and  later  released  after  a 
psychiatric  evaluation. 

According  to  Aimee  Scally,  public 
relations  director  and  announcer  at  the 
station,  Franklin  w^alked  into  the  control 
booth,  told  the  disc  jockeys  he  was  an 
engineer  and  began  bashing  reel  to  reels, 
CD  players,  carts  and  other  radio 
equipment  with  a  metal  bar.  He  leh  a  large 
dent  in  the  main  control  board.  The  damage 
left  the  station  in  a  financial  bind, 
considering  the  university  had  no  funds  to 
give  them.  However,  what  the  university 
could  not  provide  the  community  could. 

Local  clubs  such  as  Yianni's,  The  Grand 
Finale  and  The  Main  Event  raised  over 
$5,000  for  the  station.  Many  bands 
performed  for  free  in  order  to  get  the 
station  back  on  its  teet.  Some  of  the  bands 
that  performed  for  the  fundraiser  were 
Shatterposts,  Gruel,  and  Insect  Fear. 

Although  the  station  was  far  from 
reaching  its  goal,  everyone  at  the  station 
seemed  to  be  pleased  by  the  amount  of 
support  they  received  from  the  community. 
With  a  somewhat  functioning  console  V-89 
was  still  committed  to  being  the  "Voice  of 
Florida  State."

ON  THE 
ROAD  TO 
SUCCESS 

Former  student  body  president  and 
current  law  student  Sean  Pittman  continued 
his  road  to  success  by  assuming  a  seat  on  the 
Florida  Board  of  Regents. 

Appointed  by  Governor  Lawton  Chiles, 
Pittman  served  as  the  single  student  regent 
representing  187,000  students  from  the 
state's  nine  universities.  Through  this 
appointment,  the  governor  hoped  to  work 
on  increasing  access  to  Florida's  colleges 
and  universities. 

Regarding  his  responsibilities,  Pittman 
said  they  were  the  same  as  the  other  regents, 
with  one  exception. 

"I  have  added  responsibilities  being 
accountable  to  the  187,000  students  in  the 
system,"  Pittman  said. 

He  hoped  to  provide  leadership  on  the 
board  concerning  critical  issues  affecting 
students  in  the  system.  His  appointment 
especially  a  ffected  his  school. 

"Each  university  pushes  its  students  to 
apply  for  the  position.  Administrators  lobby 
for  their  students.  I  believe  my  position  will 
allow  me  to  be  a  good  representative,  " 
Pittman  said. 

As  for  experience  leading  up  to  this 
position,  Pittman  was  well-qualified.  Alter 
serving  in  the  student  senate  his  freshman 
and  sophomore  years,  he  went  on  to  be 
elected  vice  president  and  president  of  the 
student  body.  Upon  graduation  in  1990, 
Pittman  was  chairman  of  the  Florida 
Student  Association  for  two  years  and 
executive  director  for  one.  This  role  allowed 
him  to  work  directly  with  the  Board  of 
Regents. 

Since  August  1991,  Pittman  had  worked 
as  a  supervisor  at  the  Leach  Center.  He  was 
also  selected  as  the  Florida  regional  director 
for  the  National  Black  Law  Student 
Association  and  completed  a  law  internship 
for  the  Florida  House  of  Representatives. 

'Sean  Pittman  is  one  of  the  most 
experienced  and  concerned  student  regents 
I've  ever  w^orked  with.  The  students  can  be 
truly  assured  that  their  future  this  year  is  in 
the  most  capable  of  hands,"  Pieter  Swart, 
Director  of  Governmental  Relations  of  the 
FSA  said.

ALL  NIGHT 
AFFAIR 


What  did  a 
steaming  pot  of  coffee, 
a  highlighter  pen  and 
Vivarin  all  hold  in 
common?  These  were 
components  of  the 
perennial  all  nighters 
commonly  pulled  by 
college  students 
everywhere. 

Whether  it  was  a  lack  of  preparation  or 
just  trying  to  get  in  all  of  the  extra  studying 
possible,  students  often  went  sleepless  in 
order  to  prepare  for  an  exam. 

"I  wake  up  early,  get  a  bunch  of  candy  and 
bottled  water  and  stay  in  the  library  until  my 
test,"  Erika  Grant  said.  "I  wait  until  the  last 
minute  so  it  will  be  Iresh  in  my  mind." 

Some  students  believed  in  studying  early 
and  getting  their  beauty  sleep. 

"I  figure  if  it's  1:00  a.m.  and  I  haven't 
finished,  I'm  not  going  to  learn  it,  so  I  just  go 
to  bed,"  early  childhood  education  major 
Terri  Tindall  said.  'I'd  rather  go  to  bed  and 
get  up  early." 

Students  often  did  not  intend  to  wait  until 
the  last  minute,  sometimes  they  just  got 
bogged  down  with  other  responsibilities  such 
as  work  or  extracurricular  activities. 

"  I  need  my  sleep.  I've  only  slept  about  five 
hours  each  night  because  everything  seems  to 
pile  on  top  of  each  other,"  senior  Mark 
Brenneman  said.  "There's  test  after  project 
after  test.  As  soon  as  I  start  to  recover,  it 
seems  to  start  all  over  again.  " 


Staying  up  all  night  to  finish  studying 
for  a  test  or  a  big  project  seemed  to  be 
a  trend  for  most  students.  Photo  by

A  RUDE 
AWAKENING 


Aaaaaah !  A 
deep,  peaceful  sleep  at 
last.  All  of  a  sudden  it 
came.  THE  SOUND. 
The  shrill  of  the  fire 
alarm  ran  through  the 
halls  as  my  roommate 
and  I  dreamily 
wandered  out  of  our 
room  and  outside  into 
the  bitter  cold  night.  Gradually,  I  focused  in 
on  my  surroundings  and  I  realized  that  I 
was  standing  in  the  middle  of  a  parking  lot 
with  several  hundred  people  in  my  pajamas. 
I  had  forgotten  to  grab  the  robe,  \vhich  I 
had  strategically  placed  by  the  door,  as  I 
left.  However,  I  wasn't  the  only  half 

dressed  fool  by  the  roadside.  Girls  in 
nightgowns  and  guys  in  boxer  shorts  sat 
impatiently  waiting  for  the  fire  engines  to 
arrive,  while  people  drove  by  laughing.  I'll 
give  them  something  to  laugh  about  I 
thought  to  myself.  I  bet  they  wouldn't  like 
it  very  much  if  they  were  in  my  slippers. 

I  wish  I  had  been  prepared  like 
some  others.  Equipped  with  pillows, 
blankets  and  teddy  bears,  some  of  my 
fellow  dormmates  formed  a  circle  and  sang 
camp  songs  and  told  jokes.  I'm  glad 
someone  could  see  the  humor  in  all  of  this. 
It  seemed  as  though  that  stupid  alarm  went 
off  just  when  my  head  hit  the  pillow.  It's  not 
as  though  I  got  enough  sleep  as  it  was,  but 
to  stand  outside  for  45  minutes  in  subarctic 
degree  temperatures  for  "precautionary 
reasons  "  was  a  bit  ridiculous. 

Almost  on  cue,  the  fire  trucks 
came  to  a  screeching  halt  and  little  men  in 
bright  yellow  outfits  raced  into  the 
building.  They  inspected  each  floor  and  as 
I  had  anticipated,  found  nothing.  Typical. 
Oh  well,  at  least  we  were  safe. 

We  wandered  back  to  our  rooms 
and  as  I  closed  the  door,  I  thought  to  myself 
was  what  I  really  wanted  to  do  was  strangle 
the  person  who  pulled  the  alarm.

TIME  FOR 
A  CHANGE 


There  were  literally  hundreds  of 
them  available  in  the  beginning.  As  theyears 
dragged  on,  a  final  decision  had  to  be  made. 
For  some  this  was  a  realization,  for  others, 
those  who  were  affectionately  referred  to  as 
"career  students,"  it  was  even  an 
afterthought. 

College  majors  were  a  fickle  subject 
for  many.  A  major  was  changed  by  someone, 
at  some  school,  every  day  of  the  year.  For 
some,  interest  just  changed  from  one  subject 
to  another. 

"My  original  major  was  Business 
Management,  but  after  taking  a  few  classes, 
I  became  bored  with  it.  I  realized  that  I  could 
never  make  it  my  life's  work.  Now  I'm  an 
English  major  and  I  m  much  happier.. .for 
now,  "  sophomore  Melissa  Walters  said. 

Others  switched  for  academic 
reasons  and  had  no  other  choice  because 
their  grade  poi  nt  average  had  deteriorated  so 
they  w^ere  limited  to  majors  with  no  GPA 
restrictions. 

"I  was  a  pre-med  major  but  at  the 
time  I  was  undisciplined  and  didn't  take  my 
studies  seriously.  After  a  while  my  grades 
were  not  good  enough  to  stay  in  the  major," 
nursing  major  Michelle  David  said. 

In  some  cases,  students  took 
prerequisite  classes  for  intended  majors  and 
did  poorly,  which  prevented  entry  into  the 
major.  Many  found  themselves  left  with 
useless  credits  once  their  major  changed  or 
were  left  with  the  option  of  only  receiving  a 
minor  in  the  field. 

"When  I  arrived  at  college  I  was 
determined  to  get  my  degree  in  biology  so 
that  I  could  go  on  to  medical  school.  By  the 
end  of  my  sophomore  year  I  was  well  on  my 
way  having  accumulated  many  credits  in  the 
major.  At  the  beginning  of  my  junioryear  my 
interests  and  career  goals  changed  radically 
and  I  changed  to  anthropology  and  chose  to 
minor  in  biology  instead,"  junior  Melissa 
Ferguson  said. 

Many  schools  placed  restrictions 
on  registration,  limiting  it  to  only  those  who 
declared  their  major  to  be  in  that  college  or 
school.  The  restrictions  prevented  others 
from  filling  up  classes  and  prolonged 
graduation  times. 

As  there  were  for  every  rule,  there 
existed  exceptions  to  this  one.  Although 
many  changed  their  majors,  some  had  set 
career  goals  and  stuck  with  their  original 
major. 

"I've  known  that  I've  wanted  to 
teach  since  eighth  grade.  I  would  never 
consider  changing  my  major  to  anything 
besides  Elementary  Eklucation,"  sophomore 
Tracy  Henningfeld  said.

WORKING 

FOR 

CREDIT 


Almost  every  college  within  the 
University  had  them  and  required 
students  to  take  them  a  semester  before 
graduation.  From  as  lew  as  ten  to  as  many 
as  hundreds  of  students  applied  for  and 
eventually  took  them.  They  \vere 
internships. 

The  purpose  of  internships  were 
to  gain  valuable  experience  through 
hands-on  training.  The  internships  paid 
anywhere  from  nothing  to  minimum 
wage  or  a  small  stipend  to  a  semester's 
tuition.  Still,  students  held  the  internship 
program  high  on  their  list  gaining 
experience  needed  tor  future  careers.  It 
also  opened  the  door  for  future 
employment  with  those  particular 
agencies. 

Two  of  the  internship  programs 
which  had  high  participation  was  the 
Eklucation  and  Criminology  departments. 

"The  internships  are  generally 
taken  during  the  last  year  ol  the  student's 
academic  career.  That  way  they  don't 
have  to  come  back  to  take  any  classes,  " 
Dr.  Patricia  Green-Powell  said. 

The  educational  program 
included  between  600  and  700 
participants  during  fall  and  spring 
semesters.  The  sites  were  outside  of  the 
Tallahassee  area,  a  condition  of  the 
internship  program.  The  length  of  the 
program  varied. 

"The  minimum  a  student  can 
take  is  ten  weeks,  "  Green- Powell  said. 

Another  internship  program  that 
received  many  participants  was  in  the 
Criminology  department.  Those  who 
opted  for  an  internship  totaled  185  for  the 
summer  term  alone.  These  students  were 
part  ol  the  largest  program  in  the  country. 
Students  received  jobs  throughout  the 
state  of  Florida  and  had  the  opportunity  to 
travel  overseas. 

Lorene  Nagy  had  the 
opportunity  to  w^ork  in  London. 

"That's  where  our  program 
differs  from  other  programs.  Students  can 
apply  what  they  learn  to  the  real  world 
what  was  learned  in  the  classroom  ,  "  Nagy 
said.

CRACKING 
DOWN 

0.442  B.A.C. 

No,  it  was  not  a  mathematical  derivative 
from  physics  class.  It  was  the  blood  alcohol  content 
of  a  Kappa  Alpha  pledge  after  a  party  at  the 
fraternity's  house.  He  was  discovered  lying  on  a 
couch  in  the  house  basement  turning  blue. 
According  to  paramedics  he  was  very  near  death. 
A  sober  brother  cleared  a  \vad  of  chewing  tobacco 
which  had  blocked  the  his  airway  and  then 
administered  C.P.R.,  almost  assuredly  saving  his 
life. 

This  prompted  the  suspension  of  Kappa 
Alpha  for  two  years  as  -well  as  all  fraternity 
pledging  activities  pending  further  investigation. 
Days  later  a  new  alcohol  policy  was  introduced  to 
campus. 

The  new  policy,  penned  mainly  by  Vice 
President  for  Student  Affairs  Dr.  Jon  Dalton, 
took  a  very  hard-lined  approach  to  the  ethical 
issues  relating  to  the  consumption  of  alcohol.  It 
emphasized  education  and  alternatives  to  alcohol 
and  stipulated  that  non-alcoholic  beverages  must 
be  served  simultaneously  at  University  sponsored 
events. 

Every  aspect  of  the  new  policy  resounded 
the  need  for  alternatives  and  there  were  strict 
constraints  put  on  the  length  of  time  that  alcohol 
could  be  served  at  University  sponsored  events.  It 
also  recognized  the  need  for  those  abusing  alcohol 
to  seek  counseling,  whether  it  be  a  student  or 
faculty  member.  The  policy  subjected  offenders  to 
disciplinary  action  by  the  University. 

"I  think  that  everyone  is  responsible  for 
their  actions  and  should  be  punished  accordingly  if 
they  go  too  far.  I  agree  with  it  100  percent," 
sophomore  Kevin  Donahue  said. 

Others  were  not  as  receptive.  Reaction 
from  the  Greek  community  was  mixed  because  the 
policy  infringed  upon  some  of  their  philanthropic 
events  held  at  local  bars  and  night  clubs.  The  policy 
strictly  prohibited  enticement  to  events  by  offering 
alcohol. 

"  I  'm  pleased  with  the  policy  itself,  it's  very 
thorough.  The  alcohol  policy  from  my  sorority's 
national  office  is  more  harsh  than  the  University's. 
The  only  problem  I  have  is  the  addendum  to  it 
requiring  all  Greeks  to  inform  the  administration 
where  and  when  we  are  having  an  event  so  that 
they  can  'drop  by  and  observe'  as  they've  said," 
Panhellenic  President  Julie  Dunn  said. 

The  policy  did  not  stipulate  that  students 
would  be  subjected  to  disciplinary  action  by  their 
peers  in  the  Student  Supreme  Court.  Instead,  it 
said  that  anyone  abusing  the  policy  would  be 
subject  to  "University  disciplinary  action.  " 

"I  agree  with  the  general  intent  of  the 
policy,  not  the  way  it  came  about.  I  have  no 
problem  working  with  the  administration  to  iron 
out  these  differences  and  would  be  happy  to  do  so, 
Student  Senate  President  Jennifer  Tankersley 
said.

HOPE  FOR 

THE 

FUTURE 

"It  has  been  said  that  by  the  time 
students  reahze  their  potential  as  citizens 
they  have  become  graduates.  Tonight,  as  ■we 
ring  these  bells,  it  is  our  hope  to  change  that 
perception,"  University  law  student  Tracy 
Newman  said. 

This  was  the  message  delivered  to 
President-elect  Bill  Clinton  on  behalf  of  the 
nation's  college  students. 

Newman  was  one  of  four  National 
Student  Directors  for  the  Belb  for  Hope: 
Uniting  America  \<  Campiuiej  events  taking 
place  locally  on  the  Union  Green.  Each  of  the 
four  National  Student  Directors  attended 
universities  ^vithin  the  State  University 
System.  Clinton  held  a  special  place  in  his 
heart  for  Florida  since  he  had  such  a  strong 
base  of  support  spearheaded  by  Lieutenant 
Governor  Buddy  McKay,  the  Florida 
chairman  of  the  Clinton  campaign. 

Picture-perfect  skies  and  balmy 
temperatures  set  the  mood  for  the  estimated 
1500  students  who  enjoyed  such  local  talent 
as  Bill  Wharton  and  the  Ingredients,  the 
Shatterposts  and  the  Woodpeckers.  Free 
refreshments  donated  by  local  companies 
were  served  by  volunteers  from  the  Student 
Senate.  The  event  also  served  as  a  fundraiser 
for  V-89,  the  University's  radio  station, 
w^hich  had  been  the  target  of  vandalism. 

From  Tallahassee  to  Topeka, 
Wyoming  to  Washington  D.C.,  the  events 
surrounding  the  kick-off  of  four  days  of 
inaugural  festivities  were  wide  in  variety. 
They  ranged  from  ice  cream  socials  to  day- 
long concerts,  not  unlike  the  ones  held  on  the 
Mall  in  Washington  D.C.  The  day  s  climax 
came  locally  at  6:00  p.m.  when  University 
President  Dale  Lick  was  joined  on  stage  by 
prominent  campus  leaders  in  the  ringing  of  a 
historic  bell.  The  bell  was  used  over  80 years 
ago  to  summon  students  to  meals  at  the 
Florida  State  College  for  Women,  the 
University's  institutional  predecessor. 

Simultaneously,  bells  were  rung  by 
students  at  hundreds  of  college  campuses 
around  the  country,  by  U.S.  Ambassadors  at 
embassies  around  the  world,  by  astronauts 
aboard  the  Space  Shuttle  Endem'or  and  by  the 
new  first  and  second  families  in  the  nation's     d'-  •'

"Make  your  bed!  No!  You 
cannot  paintyour  room  black!  Forthelast 
time,  no  posters  on  the  walls!"  Mom 
yelled.  For  those  who  lived  by  these 
restrictions,  decorating  a  dorm  room 
served  as  a  pleasurable  rebellion.  No  one, 
except  one's  roommate,  could  complain 
about  the  new  Guns  'n  Roses  poster,  the 
black  comforter  complete  with  zebra 
sheets  or  the  pile  of  dirty  laundry  tucked 
neatly  away  under  the  bed. 

"The  quality  of  dorm  life  is  what 
you  make  it,"  Kersten  Cortes,  former 
Deviney  resident  said,  "So  dress  it  up!" 

The  first  step  in  the  dorm  room 
transformation  process  was  to  make  a  trip 
to  the  local  discount  store.  Crates  of  all 
colors  and  sizes  were  a  necessity  in 
creating  space.  Stacked  in  corners  and  in 
closets,  they  held  held  books,  tapes,  shoes 
or  food. 

Concrete  blocks  could  be  used  to 
make  shelves,  but  they  were  often 
supports  for  bed  frames,  giving  a  foot  or 
more  space  for  storage.  The  ultimate 
space-maker  was  the  loft.  Raising  the  bed 
four  feet  off  the  floor  gave  one  room  to 
walk. 

The  second  step  in  the  process 
was  comfort.  Waking  to  bare  feet  on  cold 
tile  was  avoided  by  cutting  carpet  to  fit  the 
floor  plan  of  the  room.  Rugs,  -whether 
spray-painted,  woven,  old  or  new,  were 
easy  replacements.  Some  tiled  their 
rooms,  sacrificing  comfort  for  color  and 
easy  clean-ups. 

"If  something  spills  all  I  have  to 
do  is  wipe  it  up,"  Annette  Anderson  said. 

The  third  step  was  color.  Walls 
were  a  prime  target  in  decorating,  and  they 
could  make  or  break  a  prize-winning 
room.  Contact  paper  substituted  for  wall 
paper. 

It  a  statement  was  to  be  made  on 
the  walls,  spray  paint  was  the  best 
solution.  Peace  symbols  and  hearts  were 
popular  favorites.  Feather  dusting  the 
walls  also  created  a  desired  look. 

Plywood  tool  racks  made  handy 
wall  fillers.  Painting  them  added  color, 
and  they  made  space  for  hanging  keys, 
pots,  pans,  towels  or  jewelry. 

"It  was  easier  than  keeping  stuff 
under  my  bed  and  Dad  had  all  of  the 
supplies  in  the  basement,"  Jim  Snyder,  a 
Cawthon  Hall  resident,  said. 

Decorating  dorm  rooms  was  an 
education  in  itself,  precisely  the  excuse 
made  to  Mom  w^hen  she  saw^  the  credit 
card  bill.

SPEARING 
1  TRADITION 


Over  60,000  fans  overHow  the 
Doak  Campbell  Stadium  and  wail  m  unison 
to  the  traditional  war  chant  begun  by  the 
Marching  Chiefs.  Seminole  cheerleaders, 
lining  the  field,  raise  the  volume  to 
maximum  potential.  An  electric  surge  of 
pride  pluses  through  the  hearts  of  young  and 
old  alike.  The  synchronized  motion  of  hands 
and  the  unison  of  voices  call  Chief  Osceola 
and  his  horse,  Renegade,  out  of  the  tunnel 
and  onto  the  playing  field.  Renegade  gallops 
the  length  of  the  f'leld  while  Chief  Osceola, 
waves  the  spear  high  above  his  head.  The 
crowd  escalates  to  hysteria  and  rises  to  cheer 
on  their  mascot.  Game  captains  and  referees 
leave  the  field.  Renegade  then  tears  to 
midfield,  rears  and  Chief  Osceola  thrusts 
the  flaming  spear  into  the  Seminole  Head. 
This  pregame  tradition  began  25  years  ago 
■with  alumni,  Bill  Durham. 

Durham,  a  1965  graduate,  created 
the  idea  of  this  mascot  while  in  college,  but 
said  he  could  not  spur  enough  excitement  to 
begin  the  drive  for  a  suitable  horse  and  rider 
until  Bobby  Bowden  became  coach.  "We 
were  and  are  very  serious  about  Chief 
Osceola  being  a  respectful  representation  of 
the  Seminole  Indians.  For  that  very  reason, 
I  gained  permission  from  the  Seminole 
Chief,  Chief  Howard  Tommie,  for  Chief 
Osceola  to  ride.  In  fact, "the  first  costume 
was  made  by  the  ladies  of  the  Seminole 
Reservation  in  1978,  "  Durham  said. 

Not  only  were  the  cloak  and 
moccasins  authentic,  but  around  the  rider's 
neck  hung  a  unique  artifact  in  Seminole 
history.  This  silver  necklace  sparkled  with 
countless  charms,  Spanish  coins  collected 
by  the  Seminole  Indians.  In  preparation  for 
the  pregame  event,  a  grease-based  makeup 
was  rubbed  into  Chief  Osceola's  skin  to  give 
it  a  reddish  tint.  White  and  garnet  stripes 
w^ere  painted  on  his  cheeks,  Seminole  style. 
For  the  final  touch,  a  gold  spear  was  painted 
beginning  at  the  chin  and  continuing  over 
the  bridge  of  the  nose  and  ending  in  a  point 
at  the  forehead. 

Renegade's    rider    was    Allen 
Durham.    In  training  to  be  Chief  Osceola

year  after  next,  was  Andy  Taylor.  "We  don't 
take  anybody  ^vho  doesn't  know  how  to  ride 
a  horse.  Those  applying  must  also  have  at 
least  a  3.0  GPA,  "  Durham  said.  In  making 
the  final  selection,  applicants  were  required 
to  pass  an  oral  interview.  This  was  a 
necessity  since  Osceola  receives  a  lot  of 
attention  from  the  media.  At  the  games 
separate  groups  represented  Florida  State: 
".  .  .our  wonderful  300  piece  band  known  as 
the  Marching  Chiefs,  our  football  team  and 
our  cheering  squad,  but  there  is  only  one 
Chief  Osceola.  He  must  be  articulate  and 
have  a  good  command  of  the  English 
language,"  Durham  said. 

Once  a  part  of  the  Renegade  team, 
work  began  right  away.  The  present  rider, 
apprentice,  and  team  members  helped  care 
for  Renegade.  This  included  daily  feeding, 
brushing,  and  walking  of  the  horse. 

This  obvious  dedication  to  the 
image  of  Florida  State  could  be  seen  upon 
visiting  Mr.  Durham's  office.  Covering  the 
walls,  with  not  so  much  as  two  fingers  width 
between  each  frame,  were  pictures  of  Chief 
Osceola  and  the  Renegade  team.  The  first 
spear  ever  to  strike  the  turf  rests  in  the 
corner.  One  of  the  largest  hangings  and 
most  eye-catching  was  a  rubbing  of 
Osceola's  tombstone  in  South  Carolina. 
Given  to  Durham  as  a  gift  by  Jud  Spencer, 
the  handing  reads,  "OSCEOLA.  .  .Patriot 
and  Warrior,  Died  at  Fort  Moultrie 
January  30th,  1838." 

"We  are  very  sensitive  about  the 
respectful  representation  of  the  Seminole 
Indians,"  said  Durham.  "Local 
businessmen  sometimes  want  to  use  Chief 
Osceola  and  Renegade  to  advertise  their 
products.  I  absolutely  will  not  prostitute  it 
out.  Chief  Osceola  and  Renegade  only 
appear  at  Seminole  football  events.  "  The 
Seminoles  have  never  voiced  any 
complaints  to  Durham. 

The  University  has  recognized 
Durham  as  a  member  of  the  Golden  Chiefs, 
"an  organization  of  alumni  and  Iriends 
whose  individual  loyalty  and  devotion  has 
been  expressed  by  a  history  of  outstanding 
generosity,"  read  the  plaque  which  hung 
above  Durham's  desk.

SERVICE  FOR     { 

ALL  I 

Running  from  meeting  to  meeting,  taking  classes, 
helping  others  and  working  part  time  were  some  things  that 
kept  a  person  busy.  For  junior  Kelly  McCabe,  it  was  a  way 
of  life.  r4 

"I  try  to  focus  my  energies  on  helping  other  people.     V 
It's  very  rewarding  to   hear  someone   say     thank  you," 
McCabe  said. 

Her  service  began  when  she  became  a  brother  of 
Alpha  Phi  Omega  service  fraternity  in  the  Fall  of  1990.  Since  .  '1 
then,  she's  held  the  office  of  Vice  President  of  Service  and  c 
President  for  the  fall  of  1993.  During  her  her  stint  as  vice 
president,  she  also  chaired  the  March  of  Dimes  service 
project  and  helped  raise  approximately  $2,900.  In  the  spring, 
that  sum  was  doubled  to  $4,930. 

"I  w^as  extremely  proud  ol  the  hard  work  and 
dedication  of  the  brothers  (AOQ),"  McCabe. 

She  also  became  a  member  of  the  Collegiate  Board 
for  March  of  Dimes  and  was  a  campus  organization  director. 

"I  took  a  tour  of  the  neonatal  unit  at  Tallahassee 
Memorial  Regional  Medical  Center.  I  thought  it  would  be 
incredibly  depressing,  but  it  was  the  most  amazing  thing  I've 
ever  seen.  The  babies  are  so  fragile,  yet  they  are  fighting  so 
hard  to  stay  alive.  Those  kids  have  more  strength  and 
courage.  We  owe  it  to  them  to  make  the  world  a  better  place 
so  they  know  that  their  fight  for  life  was  worth  it,"  McCabe 
said. 

In  addition  to  her  dedication  to  the  March  of  Dimes, 
McCabe  also  ^vorked  as  assistant  director  for  InfoOuest 
book  services. 

"It  was  an  exchange  program  started  by  AOQ  a  few 
years  ago.  I  worked  v^^ith  Damon  Brown  and  Jenny 
Patterson  (AOQ  brothers)  to  expand  the  program.  It's  a 
worthwhile  for  those  who  utilize  the  service,  "  McCabe  said. 

The  Art  History  major  planned  to  graduate  in  the 
spring  of  1994.  The  search  for  graduate  schools  continued  as 
she  planned  to  further  into  Art  Administration  or  Museum 
Studies. 

Her  immediate  plans  were  focused  around  the 
fraternity. 

"Being  president  of  this  organization  is  a 
tremendous  responsibility.  I  would  like  to  see  us  develop 
some  our  own  original  projects.  Our  national  program  of 
emphasis  is  AIDS  and  I  would  like  to  see  us  really  get 
involved  in  the  fight.  Whether  it  be  through  support, 
counseling  or  education,  I  believe  we  could  help  a  lot  of 
people,"  McCabe  said. 


AVelly  McCabe  was  given  the  "I  Love  March  of  Dimes 
"  award  by  AOQ.  P/^oto  by  Nancy  Floyd.

JT (^1  iJCLyO  the  most  recognized  part  of  the  book 
was  the  advertisement  section.  National  vendors  spent 
hundreds  of  advertising  dollars  towards  the  creation  of  this 
book.  Whether  looking  for  a  new  car,  a  place  to  get  your 
notes  copied,  a  styling  salon  to  get  your  hair  and  nails  done 
or  looking  for  a  place  to  shop  for  nev^  fall  and  spring 
fashions,  this  was  the  placeyou  could  find  it.  Without  their 
patronage  and  the  generosity  of  the  Student  Government 
Association,  the  program  would  have  suffered.  A  great 
deal  of  thanks  was  given  to  our  patrons. 

Adjacent  to  the  advertising  section  was  the  student 
index.  Alphabetically  listed,  looking  for  a  triend,  loved 
one,  ex-boyfriend  or  granddaughter  was  easy  as  1  -2-3  with 
this  handy  section  of  the  book. 

Finally,  the  closing  completed  the  section.  It 
recapped  current  events,  both  controversial  and  joyful,  so 
they  could  be  remembered  in  the  years  to  come.

Something  To  That 
Effect 


I  always  thought  this  would  be  one  of  the  best  parts  oi  the 
book  to  write,  but  when  I  think  about  it,  it's  actually  quite  sad.  Three 
yearbooks  have  been  put  to  rest  and  I  teel  as  though  an  important 
chapter  in  my  life  is  coming  to  a  close.  I'm  taking  so  many  memories 
with  me  as  I  leave  my  desk  and  our  tiny  office. 

I've  had  the  pleasure  of  working  with  some  of  the  finest 
people  in  the  publication  industry,  both  at  conventions  and  on 
campus.  I  can't  imagine  what  life  would  have  been  without  the  trials 
and  tribulations  that  went  with  creating  this  book. 

There  are  many  people  that  I  owe  a  debt  ol  gratitude  to. 

Mom,  Dad  and  Cathy-  Thanks  lor  always  supporting  my 
decision  to  do  this  "one  more  year.  "  My  goal  of  being  editor  finally 
came  true  and  I  think  I  did  pretty  well.  You  guys  are  the  best  family 
anyone  could  ask  for.  I  love  you.  Go  Seminoles! ! 

Rebecca-  You've  been  more  than  just  an  adviser.  Who  else 
would  take  such  good  care  of  a  student  who  almost  broke  their  neck 
skiing?  You've  always  gone  above  and  beyond  the  call  of  duty.  Thank 
you! !  You're  such  a  good  secretary.  Just  kidding. 

Steven  (aka  "Stevie-Baby  "  "Stevemeister  "  "Steve-a-nno") 
Wallace  -  You're  the  most  awesome  rep.  in  the  world !  It's  been  great. 

Laura  Widmer-  Even  though  you  live  far  away  and  had  no 
time  to  spare,  you  still  managed  to  pay  us  a  visit  so  we  could  get  our 
feet  off  the  ground.  You're  terrific! ! 

Tracy  H.-  You're  one  of  the  most  tolerant  roommates  and 
friends  in  the  world.  How  you  put  up  \vith  me  these  last  few  months 
I'll  never  know,  but  I'm  thankful  you  did.  I  promise  it's  going  to  get 
better. 

John  H.-  As  always,  thanks  for  the  late  night  phone  calls. 
You're  definitely  a  bright  spot  in  this  crazy  life  of  mine. 

Joe  and  Keith-Meeting  the  two  of  you  was  one  of  the  best 
things  that  has  happened  to  me  in  quite  sometime.  Thank  you  for  a 
summer  to  remember. 

Joanna-  To  no  surprise,  the  sports  section  is  absolutely 
beautiful   because  you  are  an   extremely  talented   individual  and 


everything  you  touch  practically  turns  to  gold.  You  did  a  tremendous 
job  and  I  truly  appreciate  all  of  your  help! ! 

Kristin  (aka  "Little  Miss  Auburndale,"  "Dizzy")-  "You  go 
girl!  You  go!  "You  did  such  a  great  job  ! !  Thankyou  for  the  hard^A'ork, 
dedication  and  ,most  of  all,  the  support  you  gave  me.  You'll  always 
have  a  special  place  in  my  heart. 

Dody-  You  are  one  of  the  most  determined  people  I've  ever 
met.  Thanks  for  sticking  with  it!  Your  smiles,  jokes  and  laughter  always 
brightened  my  day. 

Alison-  We  had  a  really  great  time  in  Dallas.  Was  I  really 
driving  that  fast  around  those  corners?  Were  %ve  on  a  mission  to  find  the 
Hard  Rock  or  what?  I  guess  you  could  call  us  persistent. 

Nancy-  WOOOSH.  That's  all  I  should  have  to  say ! !  Sheldon 
really  was  from  Zimbabwe  wasn't  he?  Hard  to  believe.  Thanks  for 
allowing  me  to  dump  on  you. 

Alicia,  Heather,  Candace,  Beth,  Charlie,  Todd  and  Meredith- 
You  guys  deserve  the  writer's  choice  awards.  Meeting  all  of  those 
deadlines  w^ere  hard,  but  you  came  through  with  flying  colors.  Thanks 
for  your  hard  work! 

Robert-  Even  though  I  bothered  you  too  often,  I  appreciate 
the  fact  that  you  helped  out.  You  did  a  great  job  with  portraits  and  all 
the  other  marketing  stuff  you  managed  to  pull  off.  You're  a  good  friend. 

Laura-  'Toto,  I  don't  think  we're  in  Kansas  anymore.  "  Isn't 
that  the  truth?  Could  I  please  have  a  parka?  The  whole  Ne\A'  York  trip 
is  such  a  blur,  well  MOST  of  it  anyway.  Thank  God  we  learned  how 
to  develop  and  print  pictures  in  the  "Bat  Cave!"  I  don't  know  what  I 
would  have  done  withoutyou ! !  Dont  ever  let  anyone  tellyou  that  you 
can't  he,  Miss  "We  don't  want  to  expose  the  photographic  paper"  Petri. 
The  book  is  in  good  hands  and  the  torch  of  kno'wledge  has  been  passed 
on.  Good  luck  nextyear  my  dear  friend.  McDonald's  is  our  friend  and 
so  is  Kelly  McGillis!  !Duran  Duran  was  the  best! !    TA WANDA! ! 

To  the  entire  staff-  We  did  a  great  job.  I  know  it  was  tough, 
chaotic  and  confusing  at  times,  but  I  think  we  pulled  it  off. 

It's  all  going  to  be  worth  it  when  the  book  comes  in.

CHANGES 

The  year  ended  as  it  began,  on  a  familiar  controversial  note. 
Some  of  the  questions  were  ans^vered  and  others  were  posed.  Either 
^vay,  it  affected  all  of  us. 

After  a  year  of  allegations  of  sexual  misconduct,  rumors  of 
cocaine  addiction  and  misuse  of  allocated  university  funds,  tenured 
professor  Dr.  David  Ammerman  resigned  before  the  judicial 
disciplinary  decision  was  finalized.  He  decided  to  continue  his 
research  at  the  College  of  William  and  Mary. 

The  first  100  days  of  President  Clinton's  administration  were 
geared  toward  cabinet  appointments  and  easing  into  the  job.  His 
major  opposition  stemmed  from  his  stand  for  allowing  homosexuals 
in  the  military. 

The  federal  government  increased  the  nationwide  financial 
aid  budget  by  $20  million  dollars.  This  aid  helped  students  get  into 
school  and  stay  there. 

The  English  Department  found  difficulties  w^ith  their  summer 
(Continued  on  page  318).

class  schedule.  Students'  search  for  classes  continued. 

The  crime  rate  in  the  city  continued  to  rise  as  eight  gunshots 
rang  through  the  parking  lot  of  Burt  Reynolds  Hall  early  one  Sunday 
morning.  Former  football  player  Willie  Pauldo  and  friend  Chaun 
Brown  happened  to  be  walking  by.  The  tw^o  men  were  unharmed  and 
the  culprits  were  taken  into  custody  by  the  authorities. 

The  Athletic  Department  chose  former  1984  Olympic  bronze 
medalist  Kim  McKinzie  as  the  new  assistant  track  coach.  McPCinzie 
has  worked  with  the  team  for  the  past  six  years. 

Defensive  football  coordinator  Mickey  Andrews  w^ithdrew^  his 
name  from  consideration  for  the  head  coach  position  at  the 
University  of  Houston.  The  27  year  university  veteran  decided  to 
stay  because  of  his  "attachment  to  FSU  and  the  program,  "  Andrews 
said. 

The  Softball  team  made  their  fourth  appearance  in  the  College 
World  Series.  The  ladies  suffered  a  heartbreaking  loss  in  the  first 
round  of  the  tournament. 

Dr.  Jon  Dalton  overturned  the  student  supreme  court  ruling 
which  declared  the  spring  student  government  elections  void. 
President-elect  Tracy  Newman  and  Vice  President-elect  Fred 
Maglione  of  the  Alliance  Party  were  duly  installed  into  office  in  April.
