The word “overview” encompasses a
great deal. To get a true overview
of Georgia College would involve del­
ving into all aspects of life here at
G.C. Student life is made up of study­
ing, getting to know fellow students
and faculty, and just plain enjoying
life.

sis of th eir opinions ab o u t registration.
“ I ’m im pressed w ith th e overall sys­
tem . G C seem s to have conquered many
o f the problem s th a t my ju n io r college
faced. T he lines a re n ’t u n b earab ly
long and the people w orking th e s ta ­

“ I d o n ’t m ind reg istratio n . I get a
chance to see. w hat everyone else is
taking before I sign up. T h a t way I’m
assured o f an interestin g q u a rte r.”
“ . . . w aited in long lines and to my
dism ay, all classes w ere closed and I
had to rew ork m y schedule.”
“ P re-reg istratio n has saved me m any

and P resident B unting. The session
included the long aw aited, m uch de­

were given in Russell. O rientation

“That One Night Of The Week —
That Opposite Sex Gets To Cross The Breeze way”
D orm students are very pleased
w ith the concept o f O pen Dorm .
E ach dorm has open hours over
the w eekend and one night during
the week. O pen D orm is voted on
a t th e onset of each q u arter.
S tu d en ts have th e opportunity to
vote on th e tim e o f the day th a t
open dorm will be held. D orm coun­
cils are responsible for carrying
out specific rules.
8
O pen dorm is th at one night of the
week when m em bers o f the opposite
sex are allowed into “ no m an’s land” .
As certain hours are set for visita­
tion privileges, students g ath er in
friends’ room s to study, to listen to
m usic, or sim ply to “ ta lk .” T he
th re a t of no open dorm as a punish­
m ent is one o f the biggest concerns
o f students living in the dorm .

G eorgia C ollege cam pus is definitely in th e swing
w ith presen t day styles. Jew elry is a very dom inant
accessory this year. T he add-a-bead necklace is seen
all over cam pus. B ecause o f it’s sim plistic yet
classy n a tu re it can be worn with everything from
jean s to th e chicest o f dresses. A nother popular
piece o f jew elry is the stickpin. O riginally it was
used to secure hats, sw eaters and coats. T oday it
ad orns m any different types of clothing. T h e tra d i­
tional pocket w atch has set an o th er popularity peak.
S uits are once again being designed to allow m en the
privilege o f w earing a “ w atch and ch ain .” H a ir has
seen m any trends in the past decades. T he later 70’s
brings w ith it still an o th er — the short, layered m ale
looks. A nd ju st in tim e to greet spring w eather, too.
G .C . coeds have discovered the com fort and coolness
o f the trad itio n al m en’s track shorts, in pretty pas­
tel and fem inine colors, of course! P ain ter pants
are definitely still around and very m uch in style.
S u m m er com fort can not be b eat with p ain ter paints
coupled w ith versatile “ D ocksiders” . A nother sum ­
m er com panion is glare resistant glasses. Glasses
have m oved up on the popularity ch a rt so m uch, th at
m any designers such as P ierre C ardin, G ivenchy and

The Continuing
Of Food Service
D elicious appetizers from soda
crack ers to turkey dinners and d e­
lectable desserts ranging from choclate chip cookies to cherry cheese­
cake. Every student at some point,
while at G .C ., has visited the cafe­
teria and probably eaten S .A .G .A .
foods. A lthough not always the m ost
appealing m enus around, the general
concensus confirm s: for institution
food — le t’s face it, it’s som e of
the best.

T he cafeteria is the m ost versitile area on cam pus. A typical day
in the cafeteria ranges from a very
casual conversation with professors
to the norm al m eals. S tudents use
the cafeteria to chat with groups of
friends or to ju st sit and concen­
tra te on their next class. T he cafe­
teria is definately the best place
to m eet and greet fellow students.

birds who will hungrily p eck a t th e glass.
A n activity like this could kill several
hours as well as birds.
A h, here it is again m y m ost favorite p a rt o f the
week — th e W eekend! T hese two days th a t provide us
o p p o rtu nities to realize our weeklong dream s, help
us to rejuvenate our m inds and bodies, an d send us
b ack into th e next week with a fresh new look on
life.
B ut how does one spend a w eekend? W ell, th a t is d e­
p en d en t upon personal desires an d habits. Som e
look for to ta l relaxation while others recreate.
Y ou m ay see som e individuals spending th eir tim e
o ff work — w orking. T h e choice as to w hat is done
on a w eekend is also contingent upon the a rea in
w hich one lives. T hose n ear lakes or o th er bod­
ies of w ater m ay use them to occupy th eir two days.
M o u n tain s and forests bring cam pers an d n a tu re lov­
ers while large cities connote night life and shop­
ping and thus bringing those interested.
But w hat o f the thriving m etropolis o f M illedge­
ville? W h a t is th ere to do here? M any m ight say
th a t th ere is nothing to do here. W hen I h ear th at,
I re to rte “ E vidently you are not aw are o f the re ­
sources here or creative enough to find som ething
o f in terest to you.” F or those individuals, I
have th erefo re listed below som e possible pastim es.
T h e list is by no m eans com plete and should serve on­
ly as a cataly st to sta rt your weekend.
3. F or those forced to be indoors, seek out a
coffee or soft drin k stain on a rug or ta ­
blecloth. B oth o f these drinks have a sim i­
lar com position w hich cause th em to form in­
to the shape o f N ic a ra u g u ra . M o u n tain
ranges and rivers can be tra c e d and th e ca ­
pital can be pinpointed w ith a pim ento.
T hese are bu t th ree exam ples o f fun-filled a c ti­
vities to pass th e tim e on you r w eekend. As m en­
tioned earlier, th e list could go on forever. I
left out grave w atching, cheese straig h ten in g , and
th e all tim e favorite — listening to th e grass grow.
I am sure you can think o f o th ers too. So th e next
tim e som eone asks you w h at th e re is to do in M il­
ledgeville on the w eekend, ju s t pull out this list
and get them sta rte d into one o f th e m ost exciting
w eekends they will ever have! H a p p y H unting!
1. L au n dry m ats are often overlooked as so u r­
ces for en tertain m e n t b u t can provide hours
o f fun. D ryers are co n stru cted w ith glass
doors so th a t the clothes m ay be observed
while turning. P erm an en t press and colors
are usually the m ost fun to w atch but
sheets an d pillow cases can be alm ost as
en tertaining, if bright colors are not available.
2. By m aking a bunch o f fresh popcorn, you can
enjoy hours o f fun. T he popcorn when a t­

M illedgeville seem s to roll-up
and die a t 2:00 on F riday a fte r­
noons, unless you know w hat to do
or w hat is going on. T h a t is the
purpose o f these articles. T he
S P E C T R U M S ta ff wishes to encour­
age you to tak e ad v antage o f the
m any o p p o rtu n ities available to
those who are b rave enough or
bored enough to try a w eekend at
GC. L e t’s b reak th e old tra d i­
tion o f a “ su itcase college” !
T he w eekends I have spent a t G C
have been real winners. A fte r
95% o f th e d o rm dwellers leave
with suitcases in han d, the re ­
m aining 5% o f us are left with
each o th er to en tertain . O c ca­
sionally th ere will be enough co­
eds left for a p arty or sm all get
to g eth er, b u t not often. F riday
nights an d S a tu rd a y nights usu al­
ly m ean trips to M acon to the OneU p o r dow ntow n to S hen an ig an ’s or
the Show case. (T h e C ellar is in­
h ab ited by stran g ers on the week­
ends). If you’re not a dancer or
drinker, th ere’s always Open Dorm!
S aturday s are often a vast m ixture
o f odds and ends. Sleeping late
is a pleasurable way to begin the
day, if you can m anage it. S a tu r­
day is also a good day to catch up
on studying, going to the library,
doing your laundry, cleaning your
room really well, Finishing your re­
quired book or term -paper, a n d /o r
w atering your plants.
Sundays are also lazy days a t the
dorm . M any people get up and go
to ch u rch , then com e hom e and get
busy again. (M an y also have h an g ­
overs). By S unday aftern o o n every
one is tired and bored and are im ­
patiently aw aiting the arriv al of
friends, room m ates and lovers.
By late S unday night “ S p ad es” are
well under way in the lobby, every­
one is unpacking an d re tu rn in g to
th eir room s, and things are begin­
ning to settle down for an o th er
big week at G C .

Plagued with many problems (as are many
other student organizations) the Colon­
nade has gone through many changes. Still
always looking for new help, our newspaper
has learned to stand on its own two feet.
By coming out with new formats and lots of
new ideas by students, the Colonnade has
gained respectability campus-wide.
Familiar stacks of papers lying in build­
ings on campus are read just about as
quickly as they are out. It’s been a
struggle but under the dynamic leadership
of Editor-in-Chief, Heather Long, the
Colonnade is a publication which Georgia Col

of the most successful program s of

Faculty
Frolics
O ften tim es professors see students acting less than
normal, but it is only on a rare occasion that students
get to see faculty m em bers and adm inistrators acting
weird. H ere at Georgia College that occasion occurs
annually. Faculty Frolics is a suitable title in that
frolicing is precisely the word for the activities which
take place in Russell A uditorium . M em bers of the faculty
volunteer their tim e and “ talents” for the benefit of
students’ scholarships given by the Drum m ers Club. This
year’s program included top nam e acts such as “ Strunk and
C rum p,” “ Dr. W olfersteig and the Bionic Glee C lub,” and a
surprise appearance of the Dean of Students, Carolyn
(Scarlett) Gettys. Dean Gettys entertained the captivated
audience with her musical knees. The hilarious comedy
team of Staszak and W awrzyniak kept the audience in tears
with their Polish jokes. S P E C T R U M caught wind of the fact
th a t the jokes have been passed down through Dr. Staszak’s
family for years. To add a quaint atm osphere to the
evening, the Barbershop Q uartet sang a medley of appropri­
ate songs. Faculty Frolics is ju st one of the many things
at G eorgia College which proves what a fantastic faculty
the college has. W e are indeed appreciative of this fine
group of people.

Cutting
Loose . . .
A typical week in the life of a Georgia College
student includes three tests (all on the same day,
of course), two term papers, an outside reading
project, and no hot water. After the struggle, a
pressure outlet is definitely needed. Milledge­
ville offers a variety of places to help the
student “wind down.” Among these, “The Cellar”
comes to mind. Walking down W. Hancock, you may
never see it. You must know exactly which opening
in the ground leads to the “Cellar.” Once inside
the doors, the music of many of the finest bands
in the Southeast floats up to greet you.
Punziano’s Italian Restaurant brings
to us “The Showcase”. The Showcase
is definitely the disco lounge in
town. Whether it is a nice calm
atmosphere, a lively band, or the new
disco sound you’re looking for, the
Showcase is waiting.
Milledgeville’s answer to the old-time
traditional concept of the tavern is
“Shenanigan’s”. Shenanigan’s offers
that peaceful, quiet, relaxing atmo­
sphere so needed after a long after­
noon of studying. A bluegrass band
often adds to the uniqueness of
Shenanigan’s.
Milledgeville:
Places To Go
Things To Do
Georgia College students can find
their many needs in various man­
ners and places in Milledgeville.
H atcher Square offers everything
from pet gold fish to water beds,
unusual buttons to stylish cloth­
ing for men and women, and flash­
bulbs to finished portraits.
Downtown Milledgeville offers a
pleasant, casual atmosphere con­
ducive to an afternoon of window
shopping. The stores vary from
old-fashioned Five-and-Tens and
■■■■■■
if#!*
iva
bakeries to fashionable dress
shoppes and jewlery stores which
are always there when you need
their services.
Possibly the best idea in action
is the $1.25 movie. The “ Mall
Theatre” and the“Campus Theatre”
have shown top quality movies
such as “Star W ars,” “Rocky,”
and “Saturday Night Fever” which
are greatly appreciated by the
students, evidenced by the long
lines every Tuesday night.

“ . . . The Best Educa­
tional Institution Of
Higher Learning In The State.
This Can Only Be Done By
Putting The Student First!”
Business
W hy did you accept your position at GC? W. Aldridge: I
w anted to teach on the college level. L. Frauks: I
w anted to teach at a small college where the concen­
tration is on student learning rather than impressing
academ ia. E. Gaetz: Liked what I saw of the campus, the
R R C , The A dm inistration, the students and the teachers.
D. Rouk: Best offer at the time! J. Specht: An interesting
opportunity.
W hat goals would you like to see GC reach? W. Aldridge:
I would like to see G C be the best school in the state —
academ ically, socially, and athletically! L. Frauks:
The best educational institution of higher learning in

“ . . . Limitations Imposed From
Above And The Lack Of Re­
sources.”
Biology
W hy did you accept your position at GC? K. Saladin: The
Biology Dept, seemed to offer a congenial working atm os­
phere. The small size of the college potentiated a closer
relationship to my students and greater emphasis on
quality teaching than large universities do. C. Daniels:
I was hired away from a denominational school for a good
pay raise and an opportunity to work with two well known
friends. D. C otter: The opportunities and challenges
available a t GC.
W hat goals would you like to see GC reach? K. Saladin:
I haven’t really developed any grandiose image of “ goals
for G eorgia College” yet. The goals I bear in mind are
m ore selfish ones. Now and then I leave a classroom
feeling th a t I presented a lecture which was solidly
inform ational, and yet also entertaining or engrossing
to the students. The most significant goal I can
envision is to m ake such times more and m ore frequent.
C. Daniel: I would like to see educational opportunities
for all who enter and who are willing to work to meet
high standards. D. Cotter: I would like to see GC
becom e a truly great small college with an outstanding
reputation.
W hat do you like best about GC? K. Saladin: Teaching
very diverse subjects. This is in contrast to schools
with larger faculties, where each professor’s curricular
domain is more constrained. C. Daniel: I like the friendly
nature of the students and most of the faculty. D. Cotter:
The location and the personalities.
W hat do you like least about GC? K. Saladin: All winter
long my office was 58°. I could see my breath in front of
me, and my hands were too num b to type or write. Now
that warmer months are upon us, the tem perature in my
office is 87°. My tropical fish have all died of heat
prostration and my shoes keep filling up with sweat
running down from my neck. D. Daniel: I dislike the
uncertainty which results from the Regent policy. D. Cotter:
The limitations imposed from above and the lack of
resources.
If you had three wishes what would you like? K. Saladin:
First, I’d like an unlim ited supply of free wishes.
Second, I’d like to know what life is all about before
it’s over. Third, I ’d like an English muffin.

ship and the achievements of our artistic and philo­
sophical heritage. (From the G C statem ent of Purpose)

Philosophy
W here were you born? Quincy, Illinois.

W hat goals would you like to see GC reach? M. Digby:

5000 or more students; involved student body! M. Moore:

community between the institution and its students and
faculty.
W hat do you like best about GC? M. Digby: The relation­

thing in the air, but more than likely it is
that seasonal phenomena called Spring Fever.
H itting us hard, the students and faculty
attem pt to fight back. Yet somehow it seems
like a losing battle. N o m atter how hard
we try, it seems to get harder to get to
class. The only classes that students seem
anxious to go to are those outdoor activities
like those at Lake Laurel. Yes, Spring
Fever is here, catching us quickly, as soon
as the cold weather left.

Theatrical
Productions
W hat G eorgia College lacks in the
way of size in the D ram a D epart­
m ent, they certainly make up for
in talent. Since last year,
when the Spring musical was “ Fid­
dler on the Roof,” everyone has
waited expectantly for each new
play. This year was no disappoint­
m ent. For the Fall production,
the D ram a D epartm ent presented
“ C at on a H ot Tin R o o f’, by Ten­
nessee W illiams. It was the story
of a crippled athlete torn with
the knowledge th at his father was
dying of cancer. W e saw the son’s
insecurity and felt the many dram -
atic m om ents in his confrontations
with his family. W ith the talent
of Randy Cannon as Big Daddy, Mike
Buran as Brick, and Janet Dennis
as N aggie, the show was a natural
success. “ Three Sisters” by Anton
Chekov was this year’s W inter pro­
duction. As in most of Anton Chekv’s work, this play was a little
hard to understand and the audi­
ences tended to be small. But
the acting of Gloria Railey, Dawn
Wills, and Sum m er Johnston as
Olga, Saina, and M asha, respective­
ly as the three sisters, was as
always up to, if not above, par.
Once again, the Spring production
combined the talents of the M u­
sic and D ram a Departm ents. To­
gether they presented the students,
faculty, and community with what
is fast becoming a tradition: The
Spring M usical. This year’s play
was “ Brigadoon” by Gay Turner and
Alan Lowe. Searching the communi­
ty and campus, many talented peo­
ple were found to audition in the
early part of the quarter.
M any members of the cast came from
the high schools and the community.
Georgia College students, Phil
Stevens and Gayla N orris, captured
the rom antic leads of Tommy Se­
bright and Fiona M cClaren! Along with the fine acting, alot
of talent was shown in the way of
singing and dancing. Everyone in­
volved: Dr. W olfersteig as music
director, Kathy K err as choreo­
grapher, and of course John Blair
as director did a great job. Af­
ter all, it isn’t everyday one
gets a chance to visit a Scottish
town that only appears once every
one-hundred years . . .
O ur hats are off to the D ram a
D epartm ent for another fine year
of entertainm ent!

W ith words I am led out
to walk upon the fields of enmity
where on Sacred Saturdays
I go insearch of my core.
I go and bludgeon the night;
with a shrapnel tool, I wander in the blasting lands
like a bull in my creed
stam peding after nuance,
rollicking in dull botchwork remedy
Squinting like an angry
cross-eyed owl
I scam per
blind beneath
the rabid moon.

W orn, oak pews
crackling pine floors
A ir staled by burnt butane
and heater-fried wasps
W ords of wisdom and woe
shouted in years gone by,
lost in the settled dust.
Old hymns wailed,
generations away from harmony,
pale and yellow as the pages.
A m enacing sun pierces the window pane,
rem inding us of the eternal furnace.
The plot of grave m arkers, like gapped teeth,
pushed away by young pine trees,
misses the thoughtful, bent visitors.
Dinner on the grounds
rem em bered by graying red ants,
who called it harvest time,
Sidewalk was laid to guide the crowd,
but death and big cities sparsed the villages.
W orn down clay road throws memories in the ditch
where only a stranger will look.

Trees have a sweaty fear
of chain saws and small boys with twenty-two’s.
Listening with branchy fingers
and eyes hollowed out in the hovering distance!
G reat waves of pine needles, eye-lashes in the wind;
Growing on the edge of a field,
calm ed by the constant stroking tractor motor;
Absorbing the grave digger’s shovel thrusts,
the mighty wood canopies the generations
who come daily to bury each other.
M ourners remain unaware of the wooden tears
a child calls pine cones.

Psychology Master Draws 63 Candidates
By Philip Bolton, Macon Telegraph
Since the announcem ent th at GC
would offer a m aster’s degree in
psychology, 63 prospective candi­
dates have contacted the College.
Dr. W illiam Nish, C hairm an of the
College’s Psychology D epartm ent,
isn’t surprised by the inquires.
They’ve been coming in for years.
Even though in the past he had to
respond negatively, he took down
names and addresses. H e also con­
ducted several polls to determ ine
how much interest there was in
the degree.
Backed by the good wishes of local
ministers, teachers, and others,
Dr. N ish then drew up a program
that was subm itted last year to
the Board of Regents. The board’s
approval was granted in December,
and the program is to begin in
the Fall of 1978.

College Ensemble
Climbing To Higher
Musical Levels
By Philip Bolton, Macon Telegraph
A fter receiving three superi­
or ratings last year at a jazz
festival in Jacksonville, Ala.,
the G eorgia College Stage Band
changed it name.
Jim Willoughby, band director, is
pleased with the new name — The
Georgia College Jazz Ensemble —
not only because of the superior
ratings.
H e says the band has reached a
level where it’s ready to im pro­
vise instead of merely follow
written notes.
The ascent to this level has invoved hours of practice by wi­
ling band members and a schedule
that would test the endurance
of a professional band.
For instance, the band recently
perform ed at a workshop for highschool musicians from through­
out the state, hosted by GC.
O ther recent performances were
held at two high schools in Lilburn, at a band clinic, at dances
and a t the Country Club.
“ I don’t know anymore whether
the dog is wagging the tail, or
the tail is wagging the dog,”
says W illoughby of his schedule.
H e plans to keep scheduling the
performances, however, for seve­
ral reasons. They provide the
main source of revenue on which
the band is dependent for its
survival. And they expose the
band to possible musicians who
may consider GC.
But W illoughby says that he’s be­
ginning to feel the performances
are interfering with the further
development of the band. To move
ahead, its members have to have
more time to practice for its own
sake instead of for a performance,
he says.
This luxury will continue to be a
rarity in the near future. The
band is to play with “ Oconee” and
then go on Spring Tour.
How long it will be before the
members take the step into effort­
less improvisation is still un­
known. But even during the wait
there’s good listening ahead, and
the ensemble’s first record is out.
97
tion after their home responsi­
bilities have lessened, “ Dr. Nish
states.
Therefore the classes will be sche­
duled at night, and will be held
only twice a week.
Because four full-time and two
part-tim e professors will carry
the full teaching load at first,
the num ber of candidates adm itted
to the program will be limited to
about 50.

He taught at a college in I wo, a
