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)

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.

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.

organizations and Chief Osceola

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

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.

Comedian Chris Rock, who got
his start on "Saturday Night Live, "
was scheduled to appear with
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.

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.

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.

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.

YOU GOTTA
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.

PEN TO THE WORL
D
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.

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.

NOT THE CHOICE FOR EVERYONE
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.

study sessions for that forgotten test were a part or the life of

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.

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

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

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

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

scratch. Not only did the dean match what was
pledged, local law firms matched w^hat the

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.

Members of the Society claimed that these

"We don't have any obligation to be fair to these

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

notarized.
Following deliberation,
the members of the Society
voted in favor of forming a

of the Society's application

"I believe they should be allowed to join. These

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.
n
-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.

ReocpiliQQ albv^ Ae series to e^)aod
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.

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.

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
union
' 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

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"

"Not only has Dean Clevenger

however, we want him to guard his health

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.

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. "

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

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. "

also got into the action
when he threw 46-yard

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.

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.

play requires an athlete to be in top

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

"I respect all walk-on players. Being a

said.

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."

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

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.

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.

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.

The

teairu
faced
tough
com-
peti-
tion ,
espe-
cially
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.

I'roin mid-IJcLcmlx I
to mid- January, it was
not a good idea to be a
Top 25 team and to pla\
the Lady Seminoles
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 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.

\ 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

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.

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

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

Riyeka, Croatia. The United
Kingdom. Brazil. Sydney, Australia.
Varde, Denmark. Mexico City and
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.

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

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.

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.

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

Seminole batters drove
in eight runs.
The sweep became

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.

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

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

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

"I w^ouldn't trade these
three pitchers for any

Coach Graf said.
When any of "these

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

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.

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

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

fin'uhed
high in
the
collegiate
tour
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 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.

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

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-
athletes year in and year out — success in
their class work. "
""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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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."

Exploring
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.

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
Conference.
"The extravaganza serves not only as a fundraiser for Pan
Greek but it gives each organization a chance to celebrate the pride and
love they have for their organization. All the groups who performed in
the show are winners and all should be commended for their hard work
and dedication, " Ross said.

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
needy organizations. Proceeds were divided with $850 going to Big
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
skit night. Held at The Moon, tickets were sold in advance for $4 and
were $5 at the door. There were four judges who tallied the points for
each performance. A total of 350 points was the highest a pairing could
receive for their skit with 200 of those points coming from the talent
category, 60 points from the theatrical appearance category, 75 points
from the originality/creativity category and 15 points Irom the crowd
participation category. Skits w^ere w^ide in variety, ranging from AIa<)
Ala.x Beyon<) Thunderdoine to Aladdin to Popeye. Eight to 1 0 members were
required to participate in each skit and each performance was between
three and five minutes long. While the speaking was prerecorded, the
singing was not.
There was a tie lor hrst place between the pairings ol Sigma
Sigma Sigma/Lambda Chi and Delta Zeta/Pi Kappa Phi. Kappa Alpha
Theta and Delta Tau Delta captured second place ^A'hile third place went
to Zeta Tau Alpha and Phi Kappa Tau.
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. "

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."

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

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.

"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.

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.

Crew 209
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 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

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.

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.

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.

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

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
mismanagement and political bickering that began to
divide the campus into vicious partisan camps and
surrender student monies to pay for it.
SGA President Jeanne Belin appointed Sean
Sullivan, a member of the Monarchy Party, to the unpaid
position of deputy assistant to the president for public
relations near the beginning of her candidacy. Sullivan
POLITICS GONE
SOUR
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.

United Latin Society 235
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."

Committee dealt with the
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
surrounding SGA elections
were also brought before the
E&A Committee, especially
those dealing with the
Ejection Code.

The Judiciary
Com.mittee dealt primarily
with the revisions and the

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.

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

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-
transformed from tunate closing of The
a greasy spoon Mecca Grill.
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.

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."
Students announce the next group
during the fundraising drive for V89.

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.
Fire trucks race to the scene of an
alleged fire. Pranks by students led to
dicomfort for many. Photo by Robert

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'- •'
capital. The message resounding in the bells' m'^
chimes w^as that of hope and unity which was J^ -^
exemplified by Republican leadership
participating alongside the new Democratic
president-elect in the day's festivities.
"I feel that the most rewarding
aspect o't BelU w^as the fact that we were able
to showcase our talents in a national arena , '
Al Dominguez said.

"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

the final selection, applicants were required

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.
Sit back and take a look at the Bold Headline i\i.

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).

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.
