The year anthologized in these pages was, of course, eventful - a thousand different experiences for a thousand different students.

memorable and meaningful, but for many of us, all too brief.

To the Class of 2001,

Congratulations on your wonderful achievements over your years at Spring Hill. While I am happy for you, I am also saddened at the thought of my first freshmen class moving on. We came to gather in 1997 and walked the walk through challenges we did not foresee but we also realized growth that we had not hoped for or imagined. I am confident that you will go forth from this place to build great lives on the foundational experience of these years on this hill. I am confident that you will always be what you say you are and that you will be competent, compassionate, committed leaders in the service of others wherever you may go. I ask only that you keep in touch with those who have given meaning to your life during these years. May you come back often. God's blessings be with you.

Sincerely,

«tf^&j*><.^?W^?-

To the Class of 2001, God's peace!

Spring Hill College closes her 171^ year stronger and better than ever. Enrollment is at an all time high. The Campus Master Plan has been completed. Our current residence halls are fall, and the campus is buzzing with activity. It is indeed a good time to be on the Hill!

And yet, just four short years ago, things were very different. Think back - if you can - past the almost endless succession of Deans to the Fall of 1 997. The Outlaw Center was the newest building on campus, still a bit too far off the beaten path for the average Badger. O'Leary was boarded shut, lower enrollment forcing its empty beds to go unnoticed. The Campus Center was all but bare and the Cloister was practically dead. In short, the College was not in good shape.

Although the reasons for this transformation are multiple, there is one key factor that stands out. Dedicated men and women - many of whom were students and alumni and all of whom believed in the vision of St. Ignatius - set their hearts upon the mission of bringing new life to the College. They wanted the torch upon the hilltop to shine once again. And because of their hard work, the glow has begun to intensify.

Some might say that too much has changed in too short a time. Others might wonder whether essential elements have been lost in the transition. Without denying the trauma that comes with change, I would insist that what is best and most essential about Spring Hill has not only been preserved, but also enhanced. And you have been a part of this evolution.

So as you commence your life beyond the Hill, know that our gratitude and prayers go with you. In return, we ask that you remember us and pray for our continued well-being, for the mission we are to accomplish depends upon the sustained efforts of many and the prayers of all.

May what you have learned at Spring Hill, both in and out of the classroom, serve you well for the journey ahead. God bless you and come back whenever you can.

Sincerely,

4000 Dauphin Street Mobile, Alabama 36608-1791 (334) 380-3023

The Vision Splendid

Developed by Fr. Joseph M. Walsh President 19254931

Father Joseph M. Walsh served as president of Spring Hill College from 1925 to 1931. During that time, he developed an elaborate plan for a "Greater Spring Hill College," which would have utilized the newly acquired land to the west. The current campus, including St. Joseph's Chapel, Quinlan Hall, Yenni Hall, Administration Building and the Quadrangle were to be turned over to the High School. An entirely new campus was to be built for the college. Two versions of the plan are shown here. The plan to the right features a new Administration Building (A), Recitation Halls (B), Science Halls (C), Commercial Building (D), Mu- sic Hall (E), Library (F), Chapel (H), Residence Halls (I), Cafeteria (P), Auditorium and Gymnasi- ums (S), Laboratories (T), and a Stadium (V). Of these planned buildings, only Mobile Hall, the Li- brary, and the Old Shell Gate were constructed due to the Great Depression.

The Campiis Master Plan

Developed by Robin Harvey Autumn 2000

Spring Hill College CAMPUS PLAN CONCEPT DIAGRAM

The Spring Hill College Campus Master Plan was accepted in concept by the Board of Trustees in September 2000. The plan for the year 2000 covers proposed campus development for the coming decade and suggests future pevelopment potentials beyond the current planning cycle. The plan consists of a mixture of new construction projects along with effective reuse of current structures. New building proposals include a 21st century library (A), two new student residence halls (B), and a modest expansion of the campus center (G). Restoration and reclamation projects are planned for St. Joseph's Chapel (C), full renovation of the Administration Building Complex (D), renova- ion and internal expansion of Quinlan Hall (E), reuse of the Byrne Memorial Library (F) to draw the academic departments closer to the heart of campus; and the renovation of Murray Hall (H). Additionally, the College Green will replace the roads to the north of St. Joseph's Chapel (I) while the tennis and basketball courts west of the McLean Plaza will be relocated so that the area can be opened for another campus green. The final series of changes involves the removal of road surfaces through the core of campus (N) to facilitate a pedestrian-oriented campus.

Happenings on The Hill

How can one sum- marize life at Spring Hill Col- lege? Revision. Over the course of our undergraduate careers, we grow and change, try new things and meet new people. Our lives are in a constant state of revision. While at college, we revise our relationships with peers, with teachers, and with parents. We revise the way we think. Another character- istic of life at Spring Hill - palpable on cam- pus- is speed. The speed with which we make these revisions, the quickness of change at college, and the pace of academics are at times disorienting. How, then can students thrive in such an environ- ment? As

Gwendolyn Brooks said: "Conduct your bloomin' in the noise and whip of the whirlwind."

by Julie Adam

It was still summer in the air and in my mind when I drove through the Avenue of the Oaks and up to the cluster of orienta- tion and seminar leaders that lined the street in front of Walsh Hall. I could not fully comprehend the fact that I was in college. Orientation was my first taste, smell, and view of what the next four years at Spring Hill would be made. How can one express the feelings, the smells, and the emotions of those first few days? Even if a complete description were possible, it would be imprac- tical here. Instead, I wiU attempt to summarize. The following a few of the emotions and activities that I can remember vividly. Each had a distinct significance of its own . . .orientation and seminar meetings, lectures, activities-a night at the Outiaw Recreation Center, movies, din- ners with weird and wonderful people, and most memorably the Escape Retreat. I still have flashbacks, when a gust of warm air goes by, of the way I felt those first few days. Orientation was a wonderful experience for me, one that allowed a few of the secrets of Spring Hill to surface. It was those few secrets I learned through Orientation that captured me and hopefully wiU never let me go.

Formal.

by Angela Bolich

Although many were skeptical about enjoying Fall Formal in freezing weather, the dance was actually a huge success. Programming Board out did it- self and raised the standards on this brisk November night. The low temperatures became more bearable as over 400 stu- dents huddled together in an outside tent and danced the night away. The setting was the picturesque Bragg Mitchell Man- sion and for any thin-blooded person that needed to thaw, the house provided addi- tional warmth. The tick-blooded party ani- mals however were found outside with the food (catered by Gus') and the live band, The Groove Addiction. Programming Board out did it-self and raised the standards on this brisk No- vember night. A continual flow of coat-covered students pro- vided Fall Formal with a diverse crowd, including the men's basketball team who made it to the dance a littie after the oth- ers because of a game that same night. Despite some early agi- tation with the busing, everyone was able to relax and let loose on the dance floor. Couples held each other during the slow songs and friends danced wildly and sang along with the well- known songs. It seemed like everyone took the time to strike a pose for the cameraman who at times stealthily captured the enjoyment of the night through his lenses. Overall Spring HiU College SGA did a fantastic job organizing Fall Formal. The smiles of enjoyment and the aura of excitement showed the partygoers' appreciation for the well-planned formal.

^ofthe Holy Spirit

by Maureen Bergan

In the tradition of Jesuit educa- tion, the college community gathers to prayerfully call upon the aid of the Holy Spirit, as a new academic year begins. Held in the Arthur Oudaw Recreation Center, this Mass draws over 500 stu- dents, faculty, and staff This liturgy is presided over by the President of the College, Fr. Gregory F. Lucey, S.J. The Jesuit community on campus celebrates

this activity, and many others participate as readers and Eucharistic ministers. A choir consisting of the students, faculty, and staff, as well as a brass ensemble, join together to make the Liturgy vibrant and energetic. Calling to mind spirit and Ufe, red banners stream from ceiling and green plants grace the stage and the altar for this festive and prayerful celebration.

With a different theme each year, the Mass gives a focus to the communit)- for the coming school year. This year's theme was: "Doing Justice: Renewing our Commitment to the Mission." During the liturgy, we celebrated the different kinds of gifts many people have brought to the Ufe of Spring HiU for over 170 years. We recognized the commitment to justice in the lives of many unsung heroes of Spring HiU, past and present, during a "Litany of Remembrance." As the Uturgy con- cluded, students rose to ask God's blessing upon facult)^ and staff their teachers, counselors, and mentors. In response, facult}^ and staff rose and prayed for the students, that the Holy Spirit would, "... enUghten their minds and impress upon their hearts the need that the world has for their Uves." Fr. Lucey concluded the Uturgy with a blessing and sending forth calling aU to "go in peace to wimess God's presence in our midst this day and aU the days ahead in this academic year." A compUmentary luncheon for the entire community foUowed in the Commons of the Campus Center.

Weekend

by Katie Vondenstein

Grease was the word this year as Spring Hill College students and their fainilies celebrated the first Family Weekend Oct. 27-29. More than 400 students, parents, and family members attended the event, formerly known as Parents Weekend, to enjoy activities for all ages centered around a '50s theme. The most notable changes to the Weekend, other than the name change, were the attention given to including the entire family not just stu- dents and their parents. "We wanted to make sure that all family members of a Spring HiU College student would be able to enjoy the weekend just as much as the parents by having a constant stream of activities to keep them occupied" said Kristen Kammer, assistant director of Alumni and Parents Programs.

The first family-oriented activity of the weekend was the President's recep- tion. This reception gave family members the opportunity to meet with Spring HiU faculty and Staff as well as get to know one another. Following the reception, families were invited to watch Greases "drive-in" style. Families sat in chairs and on blankets and munched on "movie popcorn" as children danced to the movie's popular tunes. On Saturday, Family Weekend introduced the "Purple Pumpkin Patch" on South Lawn for all children to relish. Designed for youngsters, the Purple Pumpkin Patch included face painting, pumpkin painting, a cake walk, and playing both Frisbee and football. At the same time, families enjoyed the taste of Dew Drop hotdogs while watching a purple and white baseball scrimmage.

Later in the evening students and their families kicked up their heels in tiie Louise Moorer Commons to music performed by the "Grand Band. Following the Weekend, Kammer and Gail White, director of Alumni and Parents Programs, la- beled the redesigned weekend a success. "Students love it. Parents love it. And their children felt welcome," Kammer said. "We are already looking forward to next year's Family Weekend."

by Eric Jukes

In my 4 years here at Spring Hill College, I could be considered an intramural sports fanatic. I have played just about every intramural sport from 2 on 2 golf to walleyball to beach volleyball. The intramural program at SHC affords those who were athletes in high school and chose not to pursue athletics here, and those who simply want some type of activity an outlet for competition.

As the sun sets, they begin to arrive. One here, two there, they slowly start rolling in. You can feel your adrenalin rising. Suddenly, some- one calls your name to go long and you take off in a sprint. There is nothing like a little competition in intramural sports at Spring HUl. In the fall, the level of competition rises starting from beach voUeybaU to flag football. A racquetball tournament takes place while you are competing in the pool at water polo. Vicious spikes are in the WaUy ball courts w^hile three-on-three basketball is causing injuries. Springtime brings us to a close with soccer tournaments and long ball softbaU games. When one considers the late nights and the occasional studying, everyone needs a chance to let loose and enjoy a rivalry. Intramurals provides the chance to relax and get away from the everyday worries and headaches of school.

As I will be graduating in May of 2001, intramurals wiU be one of the aspects of HiU life that I wiU miss the most. It has been an integral part of my Hfe here at Spring HiU, and I would not have never enjoyed my time here as much without it.

by Nathan Kozakiewicz

Each December, the students, faculty, and staff of Spring Hill College celebrate Christmas on the Hill. In a sea- son devoted to generosity and a spirit of giving, this is a chance for the Spring Hill Community to offer their blessings to those who are less fortunate. Every residence hall and some of the depart- ments on campus "adopt" a refugee fam- ily that has fled severe hardship in their home country. In recent years they have come from countries as diverse as Vietnam, Cuba, Bosnia, and Sudan. The goal of the community is to coUect items that the families need, such as clothes, tables and cooking utensils, and to raise money to buy them the materials that are not do- nated. Volunteers worked hard to encourage people to donate and participation is generally high.

The event culminates in a dinner, choir performance, and social held the last Friday before exams begin during the fall semester. At dinner, the Spring Hill com- munity gets a chance to meet the refugee families for whom they have been collect- ing donations for. Food is served in the cafeteria, and Santa Claus is on hand to give out candy canes and take pictures. After dinner, the event moves to St. Joseph's chapel for a special Christmas presentation by the choir, followed by a social in the Badger's Den. Cookies are served, and the children enjoy the chance to break some pinatas.

Christmas on the HiU is a blessing to all those involved. It is a great way to start off the holiday season for both the Spring Hill community and the families. The spirit of the season is weU-represented in this yearly celebration.

jeniors Raise SGA to New Heisrhts

By Theresa Bertucci

The senior class of 2001 was an active force within the Student Govern- ment Association (SGA) of the 2000-2001 academic year. Vice President Maureen McCarthy paved the way for a more effec- tive SGA by holding various workshops to increase awareness of Robert's Rules of Order and she revitalized the Elections Committee to enact stricter regulations on ballot procedure. Attorney General Jean- Paul Morrell revived the Student Judicial Board, derelict for over four years, to in- crease student pardcipadon in the disci- plinary process. Matthew Previts was named the first Vice President of Tech- nology and created the first SGA website. The senior class SGA members; President Theresa Bertucci and Senators Tara Counts, Krista Kant and Jamey Renda, pre- sented the school with a wonderful gazebo as the senior class gift. Overall, seniors re- vitalized the positions they held and took Student Government to the 'next level,' helping SGA to evolve into a more viable entity at Spring Hill College. Their contri- butions will be felt for years to come.

Life After The Hill

by Hilary Frobish

After May 6*, seniors have a few choices. First, the traditional route; mooch off of mom and dad. That does not last long, however. Prett}' soon they start hinting that you should help out with the bills. When the hints don't help then they change the locks. Now what? There is the ever popular job hunt if you did not do that during the college years. Usually begun during late fall semester senior year, job hunts take many forms. There is Career Services which exists is to help you find a job. Resume writing, etiquette luncheons and locating helpful alumni is what the Career Services coordinator does best. If you feel like trying it yourself, you may search for jobs on the Internet. In place of the Internet, there are the Help Wanted pages in the newspaper or "word of mouth." If getting a job is not appealling, then graduate school is an expensive alternative. The GRE may be taken early and frequentiy to ensure a score that is high enough to aUow entrance in the school of your choice. There is the LSAT for those wishing to pursue law, the GMAT for the business- oriented and the MCAT for aspiring doctors. After the tests, there are recommendation letters, as well as essays, transcripts, and applications for financial aid. Some graduates will begin

To Commute or Not to Commute

by Jean-Paul Morrell

Spring Hill is a communily, a little town, onto itself. It is understand- able that SHC encourage, if not down- right requires, that most students live on campus during the course of their SHC experience. What are the benefits of an off-campus apartment or house? First of all, you are not constrained by the multitude of rules that regulate housing on campus. Second, you can experience what it wUl be like in the post collegiate years when you are living away from home, looking for a job. Lasdy, you can escape the hustle and busde of SHC life whenever you feel overwhelmed. These reasons are good ones to move off- campus, but there are equally compel- ling reasons to stay. While living on- campus you can save gas, and wake up later in the morning, because your classes are just short walk from your dorm. On-Campus it is also easier to stay abreast of occurrences at school, as they will be happening all about around the clock. Finally, the problems sur- rounding housing, utilities and food, are taken care of by the school leaving less for a student to worry about. There are equally compelling arguments for either side and only each individual can deem what will produce the most utilit)' in their particular situation.

In August of 1997, over 300 of us stepped onto campus as freshman.

Then and Now

Four years later, 289 of us are preparing to leave as graduates.

How has Spring Hill

changed since

freshman year?

' I la niks md regulations have been changed to create a more re- laxed atmosphere, slowing down the maturation process."

Lamar Hiiiton

During my time at SHC, there has been an increase in security. I don't think this is good for a campus known to be laid back. I feel like a criminal entering lock-down when- ever 1 enter or leave the campus."

Pal Oates

"I've noticed Per- sonnel changes the most. A lot of fac- ulty from freshman yaer, like Dr. Guneratne and Fa- ther Payne, are gone and new faces, like Dr Wil- son and Dr. Craven are here. At least I've met new people every year here."

James J. Rcnda

"Over the past four years I've seen three deans, boys in Toolen and girls in Mobile Hall. Despite all of these developments 1 can still walk into the cafeteria and sit with friends or recognize familiar faces in Quinlan on the way to class."

Megan McPadden

Many things have changed at SHC withjn the four years we have been here. Sometimes -we need to sit back a second and look at aU that has oc- curred at SHC -while -we were in attendance. We have seen three administrators, Dean Balog, Dean Roth and Fr. Sauer, in almost as many years. We have seen the formation of new clubs, such as the Loft and Lacrosse, and the revival of long dead ones. Sailing Club, Young Republicans and the Modey. We have seen the passing of two prominent Fraternities, Phi Kappa Tau and Lambda Chi, and the rise of a new one, Tau Kappa Epsilon. We have seen the steady growth of our two national sororities, Phi Mu and Tri-Delta, and the addi- tion of a new one, Delta Gamma. So much has happened at SHC under our watch that, sometimes, it is hard to remember what it was like when we got here. We have changed Spring Hill in tremendous ways and left our mark on its facade for years to come.

A spirit of change swept the through Spring Hill College this year reshap- ing the structure of residence life. One of the largest freshman classes in over a decade arrived and ad- justed to college life. Sophomores and juniors re- turned and met the challenge of the shuffled resi- dence hall assign- ments for in- stance, last year O'Leary was revamped and reopened last year to female stu- dents, this year O'Leary opened one of its three floors to male students; the long- time male only Mobile Hall be- came co-ed, and then the long-time female only Toolen Hall became a male residence hall. In this year of change on the Hill, challenges were met, adjust- ments were made, and a more unified student body emerged.

Junior Representatives Exceed Expectations

"My experience as Junior Class President has, most certainly, been rewarding. It has given me an opportu- nity to exercise my leadership qualities and serve my classmates." - Joe Pappalardo

/ I

"It was an excellent experience which developed great changes and was a lot of fun." - Laura Doering

by Paul Scalici

This year the Class of 2002 was a con- stant presence on SGA during the 2000-2001 term. With the more rep- resentation than any other class, includ- ing President Stephen Fitzgerald, the Junior Class was active in nearly ev- ery aspect of Stu- dent Government. This fact was exem- plified through the work of junior class sentors Joe Pappalardo, Paul Scalici, Laura Doering, and Greg

Kearns. Under the direction of Presi- dent Pappalardo, the juniors held a class bowling night, as the juniors took the lanes of the ever famous Florida Bowl. This event held true to the form of other Class of 2002 events, as the unexpected could always be ex- pected. But a good time was had by all and the bowling al- ley was formnately left in tact, minus a bowling ball.

Indiviually, the jun- ior class senators

were constantly looking out for the interests of the stu- dents, as Joe and Greg started and maintained a food committee that sought out student input on the present food situation. Meanwhile Paul and Laura were a strong force throughout the meetings mak- ing sure that the voices of the class were heard. All in all the junior class senators set an ex- ample for other class senators for years to come.

A Fortunate Few Juniors Live in tfie Apartments

by B. Gough

Living in the apartments as a junior is an extraor- dinary privilege. Since the apart- ments are offered to seniors first, it is somewhat difficult to secure a room. Applicants must have a certain grade point average to gain acceptance. Although it may be difficult to get in, there are many ad- vantages to the lifestyle.

Each stu- dent has there own room and they are

brought together by a family room and a kitchen. This gives the students privacy but also the company of other classmates. Stu- dents can escape the Marriot food service by cooking gourmet meals in the kitchen. Many roommates take turns fixing meals and baking desserts. Each apartment has four residents. Two residents share a bathroom and a bathtub as an added convenience. The apartment also in-

cludes a washing machine, a dryer, and a balcony. This allows for free laun- dry and the oppor- mnity to barbecue. "My experi- ence in the apart- ments has been a great one, and I would not trade it for anything, espe- cially not for dorm life," quotes Monica DeSilva. Many jun- iors would agree with her. Living in the apartments has many benefits, and most juniors jump at the opportunity to have one.

Junior Spotlight

"You don't have to worry about RA"s, drinking, loud music, or quarters for laundry: It's like living at home, but I wouldn't recommend living with anyone from Vicksburg." - Eric Reichling

"I feel more like we are

treated as adults and not

like children. We have

more responsibilities

and feel like real

college students."

"My SGA experience was eye-opening because I see how seriously the adminis- tration takes our opinions and works to implement our programs and suggestions." - Terri Waywell

by B J. Bertucci

The 2000- 2001 school year has been a busy year for the Sophomore Class. Working to- gether, the student government en- courage class unity. They make it known that our fel- low students may call on them at any time to voice con- cerns, ideas, and even offer some constructive criti- cism. With their opinions and ideas, they have worked

together to resolve problems such as se- curity issues and commuter relations. This year the sophomore class took it upon them- selves to promote Election 2000 and encourage the stu- dent body to vote. The officers made profile boards, which discussed each of the candi- dates and their plat- forms, and printed up fliers that por- trayed each candidate's thoughts

on certain issues. On election night, there was a party in the Cloister and the news was broad- casted so students could watch the election results as they came in. The night turned out to be a big success.

The sophomore officers have

worked very hard throughout the en- tire year to insure that their class- mates had a happy and productive year.

Females Invade Mobile

Ladies Take Up Residence in l\/lobile Hall

by Jenny Daly

Spring Hill origi- nated as an all-male campus and up un- til this school year Mobile Hall kept this tradition alive. But as the female population has grown, Mobile Hall has the presence of girls. Though the guys have made the transitions and ad- justed to the fe- males, the rooms have not. They are still formatted for tall guys. Females have had a problem with the size of the

room and closets and with the place- ment of the mirrors and showerhead. The biggest plus for the girls however, has been the private bathrooms for two. Girls have sacrificed many comforts for conve- nience of the pri- vate bathrooms. One such comfort would have to be the beds. Sky-high beds have been the biggest adjustment. It is pain passing the phone form one roommate on the

floor to the other in her bed. Also you can get a workout trying to change your sheets without hitting your head or falling. Yet, having a carpeted room and a dorm that is much closer is more pleasant accomodation.

Despite nu- merous adjust- ments. Mobile Hall has been a great ex- perience and the comforts have out- weighed the flaws of a once all-male dormitory.

"I didn't sleep in my bed for the first six months because I was afraid that the bed would fall to the ground! But now I think it's cool to sleep in the lofts" - Penny Dupre

"Several changes were noticeable. Visitors commented on the 'fresher smell, 'instead of old, wet socks, it smelled like potpouri- scented, old, wet socks." - Clinton Crow Hall Director

Left: One of the biggest adjustments for the residents of Mobile Hall was the sharing of laundry facilities and other common areas of the dorm.

First Time RA's Reach Out to Help

"Initially I thought

being an RA would be a

lot of work and not a

lot of fun, but getting to

know the residents was

an unexpected bonus of

the Job."

- B..I. Bertucci

"Being a sophomore RA was enjoyable but challenging since I'm still "young' in some peoples eyes. 1 found that working in Murra\ was more fun that 1 thought it would be." - Terri Waywell

by Amy Maydole

As a sopho- more, students have the first opportunity to become

resident's assistants. RA's have many du- ties to perform, and the job calls for very talented individuals. All RA's must com- plete a leadership workshop training course designed to help students recog- nize their abilities as leaders. The work- shop trains students to help their peers in any troublesome situation they en-

counter. They also learned how to ini- tiate plans in group projects and how to delegate work. RA's go through a vigor- ous training course to be able to coun- sel students with any problems they might have.

The position can definitely be considered a job. All RA's give up one night a week to be on duty. They must be available for stu- dents at any time of the night.

With at least

one RA on duty, there is always someone available in the unlikely event that some- thing should go wrong. The job is very demanding. Many RA's have students in their rooms with prob- lems every night of the week. Many sacrifice their hours dedicated to studying to help out. Although the job can be very dif- ficult at times, many would do it again.

Freshman Representatives Fire Up SGA

by Julie Adam

Unity, trust, and commitment are the key aspects that we, as the freshman class representa- tives, hope to have instilled in our class. Our purpose is outlined very clearly and is best summed up by the word unity. With that unity will come integrity and gratifi- cation.

There are many activities that we have held to pro- mote this emotional

growth within our class. The first ac- tivity was a barbe- cue held at the be- ginning of the year. Around Christmas time a karaoke party was held to cel- ebrate that special season. Freshmen days included a powder puff foot- ball game, a fresh- man white out ac- tivity, and a dinner labeled- " A Night to Remember." Much more was ac- complished going beyond the realm

of social events for the freshman class. Badger Productions was started and brought new mean- ing to words bas- ketball and baseball as well as a new en- thusiasm to all Spring Hill athletic teams. AU of these things will hopefully provide each stu- dent with a moment worthy of remem- brance and give him or her pride in their class- the freshmen class of 2004.

The thought of being away from home and finally somewhat indepen- dent seemed great, but the the first night in a small dorm room with someone who you barely knew seemed not so great any- more. Freshman orientation, though we may not realize it, helped us through this huge transition in our lives.

Our first small group meeting and

our first seminar meeting were both a bit nerve wrack- ing the first day, but everything worked out alright. We talked, had a great time, and made a couple new friends. The rest of the day was filled with lectures about Spring Hill and the many different pro- grams offered. That night there was a drive-in movie. The best part of orientation was the Escape Re- treat. Even though

it rained, we ca- noed, played vol- leyball, basketball, and football, and ate lots of pizza. There was also a spiritual aspect to the day.

The most memorable part of orientation was when the class walked down the Avenue of the Oaks to the library. We were told that our procession was symbolic, as it was the reverse of what will be our gradua- tion procession.

Freshmen Men Participate in Rush

by Rob Schroeder

One of the great- est aspects of our college is the large number of extracur- ricular activities that are available to students. Participa- tion in these activi- ties is encouraged in order to help stu- dents, especially new ones, to foster school spirit, to make friends, and to have fun. One activity that defi- nitely meets all of the above goals is rush.

. The first part

of the week in- volved going to each fraternity's rush party so that one could meet and talk with active members and

alumni. The local fraternities, such as Kappa Theta, Psi Gamma, and Omi- cron Sigma, were visited on the first night. On the sec- ond night, the inter- national fraternities, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Chi, and Lambda Chi Alpha, hosted their parties. The second part of

the week involved going to each fraternity's prefer- ence party. Rush week ended with bid night on Satur- day, during which each man decided which fraternity he would Hke to join based on the bids that he received.

The general con- sensus of rush was that the proceed- ings were very well organized, and that it definitely pro- vided ample oppor- tunities to meet new people.

Freshman Feedback

grades first semester

because I wanted to go

through it, and to do so

I had to be sure that I

did well in my classes."

They left their homes in Florida, California, Massa- chusetts, Alaska, and other states -with one goal in mind. They 'were incoming freshmen on their 'way to Mo- bile, Alabama. They anticipated the beginning of their ne'w lives as college students hoping to find a family at Spring Hill College.

The first days, 'weeks, and months passed quickly.

They became regu- lars on the campus. They got involved in the different ac- tivities available and realized that living away from home 'was a ne'w chal- lenge. Spring Hill was their home away from home.

For most, the college experience was alot to take in and adjust to. It was amazing what a per- son could get used to: Marriot food, a roommate's weird habits, sleeping through your 8:20,

kno'wing everything and still failing a test, doing laundry for the first time, Wal-Mart becoming the most popular store intown, and most of all, chang- ing as individuals so much without even realizing. Spring Hill became more than just a college campus. Spring Hill became a great place filled with in- credible people, op- portunities, and friends. It became and will remain a home.

year the faulty, too, was ffected by the far-reaching spirit of change on the Hill. New faculty members were added to the English, Theol- ogy, Philosophy, Chemistry and Physics depart- ments. These new faculty members brought new styles, enthu- siasm and knowl- edge to the fac- ulty and enough Bachelors, Mas- ters, and Doctor- ates to fill the Gautrelet Room. Another change facing Spring Hill academics was the preparations for next year's new schedule, as X/Y schedule is retired in lieu of the traditional college format. As the changes reshape and revitalize the atmosphere of learning on the Hill, the long-held standard of excel- lence remains intact.

For The Greater

Jesuits Exemplify Society Motto in Daily Lives

by Jonathan Parsons

The sixteen men of the Society of Jesus at Spring Hill College, just as the thousands of men before them over their 461 -year history, adopt as their apostolate the education of young people. Jesuit-style education is unique and famous, having achieved an excellent reputation throughout the world. Jesuits from the province of Lyons arrived at Spring Hill College in 1847, and in the intervening 154 years their successors have been the animating spirit of this college and are involved at all levels. They may be found working in Student Life, Plant Services, Campus Ministry, and in a number of Aca- demic Departments. Their services to the college and its stu- dents are varied - they are involved with administration, teach- ing, scholarly writing, they provide counseling and spiritual direction for students, host retreats, and facilitate community service projects. They do all of these things for the ultimate purpose of cultivating in students a hunger for learning, a concern for justice, and a mature faith in God.

Longtime Faculty Man Continues to Serve

by Emily Ferrill

If your parents attended Spring Hill College, there is a chance they may have run into some of your current professors. English professor Dr. Michael Kaffer, Ph.D., has been teaching SHC stu- dents for 39 years. In almost four decades, he served as Dean of Lifelong Learning for 12 years, faculty moderator of the Literary magazine. The Mot/ey, the campus newspaper. The Springhillian^ and English professor, among other positions. He currendy serves as the Chair of the Language and Literature Division. Kaffer said that while he majored in chemistry in col- lege, it was his love of literature that has driven him to teach for so long. In Kaffer's 39 years at Spring Hill, he has seen many changes in classes, students and the admin- istration. Kaffer admits that the current administra- tion is an improvement upon past administrations. Kaffer teaches more classes now than he did when he first started teaching, and has noticed that, in general, students now have a higher expectation of them- selves, but do not necessarily work as hard as students in the past have. "Each generation is interesting," Kaffer said.

Spring Hill Prepares for Schedule Changes

by Joey Peacher

In the year of its 25th anniversary, the X/Y schedule has been replaced with the more common Monday- Wednes- day-Friday/Tuesday-Thursday schedule. Contrary to what- ever legends may have circulated, the X/Y schedule is fairly young and was probably, according to Dr. Charles Boyle, origi- nally conceived by the registrar under Dean Whalin's admin- istration in 1975 because faculty were discontent since cer- tain courses were difficult to teach. Dr. Noreen Carrocci, Academic Vice President, discussed the reasons for the change of the procedure in the administration. The sched- ule returned to its original form this year when, once again, faculty became discontent with the X/Y Also, new faculty and student confusion with X/ Y prompted the Academic Standards Committee, headed by Fr. Michael Wil- liams, S.J., to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of the schedule. Some of the most con- vincing arguments against X/Y were: difficulty of hiring ad- junct faculty, problems for students with work-study jobs or internships, and scheduling difficulties for commuters with off-campus jobs.

After numerous student and faculty forums, the com- mittee voted to discuss the change at the Faculty Assembly, but without a recommendation. Even without a recommen- dation and with the split in the committee, the Faculty As- sembly voted 28-9 to make the change. "Change is hard and the faculty handled an enormous workload to change it so quickly, but it will provide more flexibility for the students. Some said X/Y made Spring Hill different, but I would rather Spring PUll be known through the recognition of our gradu- ates in the community than for being different," said Dr. Carrocci.

However, as we become more involved with Metro grant students and service learning opportuni- ties, it has become in- creasingly difficult to match our schedule with the day- of-the-week orientation of the rest of the world. The switch to MWF-TTh classes will alleviate some of these conflicts, plus it will also make scheduling adjunct instructors easier."

lU we arrive at college, we have, ina sense, left our home and famihes behind - many of us for the first time. And for many of us, just as we gain this new independence and freedom we freely choose to join a new family. We choose to become "Greek." From the outside, Greek life can seem difficult to understand, but on the inside, it is such a unique, powerful experience that is difficult to explain to others. Misun- derstood by many, these various tribes provide for us a surrogate family in which to grow, a safe "home" during a difficult transition, some of the best times of our lives and Iriendships that last a lifetime.

Greek Coiiecil and IFC

Greek Societies Work Together

by Rick Thome

Spring Hill campus Ufe for many years has thrived from Greek involvement. Greek life at Spring Hill has fluctuated over the years falling and rising to great heights. Recendy, Greek Life is on the rise with the ad- dition of new organi2ations increasing the total num- ber of students involved in Greek life to about thirty percent. With the increase of membership in Greek societies, an effective and efficient Greek council is becoming increasingly important

Greek organizations play a vital role in the social interactions of Spring Hill CoUege by providing events both on and off campus. Greek council plans and over- sees all Greek activities such as community service and Greek week. By organizing, guiding, and supporting Greek life, Greek Council helps to keep the Greek com- munity thriving. It contains members from all five fra- ternities and all four sororities as well as the officers from the Inter- fraternity and PanheUenic Councils.

Through Greek Council, the Greek organiza- tions are able to have a voice in school policy changes such as alcohol regulations and Greek Ufe changes. Greek council provides a forum for the leaders of the Greek societies to get together to discuss important is- sues and a chance to govern themselves.

IFC Organizes Men's Rush

by Rob Ruffino

The Inter-Fraternity councU of Spring Hill Col- lege serves as the regulatory body for the five fraterni- ties on campus and also provides Fraternities with a voice to the Administration. IFC is a place where the Fraternities can come together and work for a com- mon goal. The IFC, in an effort to become better rec- ognized by the school, decided (after many years of meeting at the Red Lion) to meet on school grounds once again in order to show that it is a legitimate rul- ing body Tim Embree served as president while Matt Previts took up a second term as vice president. De- spite the loss of Phi Kappa Tau and Lambda Chi Al- pha chapter, Greek participation increased due to the efforts of the IFC.

The primary function of the IFC is the plan- ning and implementation of men's rush. IFC sets up signups for the rushees and then determines the par- ties so that for potential new members can to get to know the individual fraternities better. This year sixty- five men signed up for men's rush, which is more than two-thirds of the freshman class. Forty- five men went through the rush week process. On the night of Janu- ary 20th, a crowd of spectators gathered and cheered as thirty-two men accepted bids and ran down the stairs.

Upsilon Alpha Chapter ofTKE Continues Growth and Leadership

by James J. Renda

Since its beginning in 1998, the Upsilon-Al- pha Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon has worked hard to be the best fraternity on campus. For the newly char- tered group, this year was no exception. In the area of academics, the YA Chapter of TKE had the highest grades of any fraternity (3.25) in the fall semester and was the second highest among all Greek organi- zations. In the realm of community service, the chap- ter raised money for several philanthropies in events such as the Sorority Philanthropy Auction, and the chapter has volunteered many hours for organizations such as the Salvation Army, the Botanical Gardens of Mobile, and Easter Seals. In the area of campus involvement, Tekes have continued to be very active leaders in campus Ufe. This year Tekes served as Ori- entadon and Seminar Leaders, Resident Assistants,

SGA officers and cabinet members, SHAPe Team leaders. Campus Ministry council members, Springhillians, Yearbook editors and staff, and par- ticipate in various clubs. The chapter sponsored nu- merous parties and activities that contributed to cam- pus social life. The first annual TKE WEEK occurred in November and feamred events such as the Soror- ity Philanthropy Auction, Brothers and Sweethearts Social at Bilotti's, Sorority Powder Puff Flag Foot- ball, and the annual RAVE. Other social events in- clude JJ's Love Boat Party in September, parties at the TKE house at the University of South Alabama, and the Red Carnationa Ball. The YA Chapter wel- comed 18 new members, the largest pledge class in chapter history and was especially impressive con- sidering only 32 rushees total accepted bids that night.

Second Largest Fraternity Remains Strong on Campus

by Andy Hughes

After a disagreement among the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, seven men of high ideals and purposes departed from Delta Kappa Epsilon and Founded the fraternity Sigma Chi at Miami University on June 28, 1855. Today sigma Chi is one of the largest national fraternities and has had the Theta Mu Chapter at Spring Hill CoUege Since May 12, 1984. The fundamental purpose of the Sigma Chi Fraternity is to cultivate an appreciation of and commit- ment to the ideals of friendship, justice, and learning. Sigma Chi belief that friendship among members, shar- ing a common belief in an ideal and possessing differ- ent temperaments, talents, and convictions, is superior to friendship among members having the same tempera- ments, talents, and convictions, and that genuine friend-

ship can be maintained without surrendering the prin- ciple of individuality or sacrificing one's personal judg- ment.

Following a summer of interesting activities and exotic travels, the brothers of Sigma Chi returned to Spring Hill CoUege eager to provide and enjoy a fun and fortuitous school year. The Fall Semester included the Sigma Chi Annual Turkey Bash Party in November. Theta Mu was involved in several volunteer activities benefit- ing many unfortunate children.

After a successful rush in January, the chapter spent much of its spring semester involved with train- ing their new pledges. Also in the Spring semester, the brothers of Theta Mu host the annual Derby Days, a four day event (March 15-18) which benefits St. Mary's Home national charity- the Children's Miracle Network.

Kappa Theta and Psi Gamma Carry the Independant Torch

by Ryan Renfro

Kappa Theta is the second oldest frater- nity on Spring Hill's campus. The Kappa's origi- nated in 1957 and are a tradidon here at the col- lege. The men of Kappa Theta pride themselves on being a part of the local fraternities here on campus. The members dedicate themselves to four ideals: fraternal, intellectual, spiritual, and social. It is these ideals that form a solid foundation for their members. Kappa Theta consists of 14 mem- bers who strive to be better individuals and who have a strong commitment to the old traditions of the fraternity .The fraternity holds numerous so- cial events, and the two main parties are Kappa Kasual and St. Patti's Day Party.

The fraternity's philanthropy this year was the "Stars for Paws" event held on December 2, 2000. The brothers took part in raising money for the Mobile Animal Shelter to spay and neuter cats and dogs in the Mobile area. The event consisted of a silent auction and a dinner held at Stewartfield, with TV celebrities such as Jon Provost (Timmy from "Lassie") and Jay

by Nina Homer

With tiie addition of a new sorority on campus, the need to oversee Greek interaction becomes increas- ingly important. The Panhellenic council works to maintain positive relations between and among the so- rorities on campus. Panhellenic also promotes interac- tion between the Greek and non-Greek community. This year our Panhellenic also hosted a fashion show and barbeque during family weekend as well as facilitat- ing women's recruitment.

As the sec- ond oldest national women's collegiate sorority. Phi Mu has developed over 230 chapters throughout the United States including the Theta Delta Chapter of Spring Piill College, which was founded in 1987.

Local Group Fulfills Need for Third Sorority by Affliating with AF

by Michelle Dugas

The desire for a third sorority at Spring Hill Col- lege was sparked in the spring of 2000. That following summer was a time of intense planning, recruiting, and corresponding with Spring Hill's women. The work of that summer created the local sorority. Beta Chi. Upon remrn- ing to campus for the fall semester. Beta Chi was up and running. As the membership numbers grew, so did the de- sire to attract a third national sorority to our campus. The members of Beta Chi actively pursued the Delta Gamma Fraternity, a women's fraternity started in 1873. After months of hard work and preparation, the women of Beta Chi received notification in mid November that Delta Gamma had accepted the invitation to colonize on cam- pus. The excitement of Beta Chi was shared by the entire Greek community on campus.

In January of 2001, consultants and representa- tives from the Delta Gamma Fraternit)' joined the women of Beta Chi and the colonization process began. The following few months resulted in the pursuit of new members and culminated in April of 2001 with the colony receiving its charter as the Eta Eta Chapter of Delta Gamma.

"Delta Gamma's primary purpose is to create an environment for its members in which lasting friend- ships are established and in which members find the pro- cesses, the experiences and the disciplines which will stimulate clear thought. Its aim is to foster an atmosphere in which women will develop a deeper love and consid- eration for mankind, a more profound understanding of the purpose of Ufe, and a basic wisdom upon which to build their Uves."

Students Find Common Ground and Purpose in Clubs and

ation

Community on the Hill

One of the many benefits associated . \#ffi college life is the apparent abundance of "free time." For numerous Spring Hill students, that time was a precious com- modity that was split between a wide variety of activites. The college offers a club or organization that satisfies nearly any extracurricular interest. Circle K, Multicultural Student Union, College Re- publicans and Demo- crats bring students together in an at- tempt to enact social change. Groups such as the sailing club, lacrosse and rugby offer recreational activities for the denizens of The Hill. While The Motley, the Student Art League, The SpringHillian, The Torch, and the The- atre Association provide opportunities for the students to express their creative energies. Regardless of the area of interest, Spring Hill provided a( group to satisfy it.

The Spring Hill chapter of Circle K Interna- tional had yet another strong year. The officers for the year were President Diana DeCotis, Vice Presi- dent JuHe Larkin, Secretary Heather Mixter, and Treasurer Jenny Daly. The membership of over thirty students engaged in numerous service projects and trips to Circle K conventions.

The major service projects for the year were the Pantry Raid, which members placed paper bags on doorsteps throughout the community along with a note explaining the purpose of the project. This effort raised over 2,000 pounds for Penelope House, a shelter for vicitms of domestic violence. Additionally, the members visited Penelope House on a weekly basis to play with the children and work on arts and crafts so that the mothers in the house can have some free time.

The officers of the chapter attended numer- ous Circle K conventions, including the Interna- tional Convention in San Diego, California. The new president for next year, Lauren HanseU, looks forward to continued success as Circle K continues to grow and serve the community.

Club

by Coach Ryan Butterick

The Spring Hill Lacrosse Club continued its storied tradition of success this past year. For the first time, the lacrosse club participated in the Deep South Lacrosse Conference. Despite being new to the conference, the squad finished with an admi- rable 10-4 record. During the spring semester, the team is scheduled to host the second annual Todd Schuler Memorial Lacrosse Tournament.

This years squad was lead by a stifling de- fense. The anchors of that defense were sopho- more Dominic Gianino and senior goalie Tim Embree. The mid-field was headed up by team captian Tom Hunter. The biggest surprise of the year was the emergence of sophomore Ale jo Marugan, who was the Deep South Conference leading goal scorer with 25 goals.

Due to an impressive season, the team has recieved invitation to numerous summer tourna- ments in the New England and Michigan areas. While the program has made significant strides since its founding, the difficult task ahead will be finding replacements for the departing senior leadership.

RUGBY

There comes a time when everything must come to an end. Unfourtunately this year the Rugby Club was in that situation. After a promising start, the Rugby Club had to fold because of membership and scheduling problems. The highlight of the year was the exciting win against their rival from across the bay, University of West Florida. Club President Todd Rametta had this to say: "The year started off great with the West Florida win, the team was really pumped that all the fans came out and sup- ported us, it's a shame we couldn't keep it going."

Student Governemnt,

by Maureen McCarthy

The Student Government Association, under the leadership of President Stephen Fitzgerald, saw a year of success and accomplishment unprecedented in recent memory. The cabinet and the senate were able to work together on numerous bills, programs, and inidatives that will benefit the students of Spring Hill for many years to come.

One of the many areas that this administration made progress in was with regards to the Student Judicial Board (SJB) and Constitution. Attorney General Jean-Paul Morrell reworked the SJB bylaws and set up elections so that the SJB would exist and

return power to the student body. Additionally, Attorney General Morrell revised the Constitution that was later approved by the senate and greatiy improved the functionality of tiie SGA.

The SGA supported the operations of the cheerleading squad, dance team, lacrosse team, student nurses association, S.H.O.R.E.S. and the multi-cultural student union, as well as numerous other clubs and organi- zations through financial allocations. Also, the SGA revivied the Badger Drive program and created food, elections, honor code, student master plan and alcohol-drug com- mittees to work more closely with

the staff and adminstration. Addi- tionally, the SGA created new cabinet positions that represented commuters, and created a website and online student directory.

The Head of Programming, Diana Scalici, along with Head of Contracts and Negotiations Ara Dombourian, put on an impressive and exciting series of events throughout the year. The SGA Programming Board sponsored a Drive-In Movie, Freshman Fiesta, Fall Band Party, Fall Formal, Mardi Gras Ball, Hall Olympics and Mystery Night Dinner Theatre as well as Phat Badger Booty.

In the fall, the members had a beach clean up, a snorkeling/ camping trip to St. Andrews park in Panama City, a Dolphin watching trip to Perdido Key in Gulf Shores, and a SCUBA trip to Pensacola. The group also had two SHORES members, former treasurer Claire Pabody, who has now since been elected to the position of Chairman for next year, and Laura Walls who was the cook and will be the Secretary for the 2001-2002 SHORES club, travel to study marine biology at James Cook University in Townsville, Australia. Even with the absence of Claire and Laura S.H.O.R.E.S. had one of the most successful Manatee trips ever. Seventeen SHC stu- dents, faculty and staff loaded up on one cold and dark Friday night and made the trip down to Crystal River Florida. It was not much warmer then last year, but the manatee were abundant and friendly. And, although this was the first time snorkeling for most of the SHC crowd, everyone had a blast!

Campus Ministry

JLivm

ervm

by Adam Werling

Maureen Bergan first broached the idea of the campus ministry council toward the end of the 1 998- 1 999 school year. There were a number of students, in addition to the "work studies," who spent time in the campus ministry office and who were heavily involved in various ministries. The council formed at the end of that school year and over the summer. Those students who indicated interest

accompanied the staff for an "overnight" at Visitation Monas- tery in Mobile in late August, 1999.

During that experience we shared our hopes and dreams for campus ministry and worked out the calendar for the coming year. We definitely bonded as a community of service. To begin the 2000-2001 school year, we had a similar experi- ence at Visitation. The council meets each Tuesday afternoon at 5 : 1 5 in the SGA conference room. Those attending who are pressed for time are encouraged to bring their suppers

to the meeting.

The council has served much the same purpose as a parish council. It has encouraged students to take ownership of various ministries. It has allowed activities to be coordinated effectively. It has served as a "think tank," surfacing creative ideas for activities on campus. Quite often meetings have served as recruiting ground for volunteers needed for various events. Perhaps most important of all, it has served as a forum in which staff and council members could encourage one another in the mission of campus ministry.

Ideas for different kinds of Masses and other paraliturgical services have surfaced at the council meetings. Suggestions for different types of justice minis- try have flowed from the council. For campus ministry to be a vital part of student life at Spring Hill, a grassroots organization like the council is absolutely essential.

These plays were very well attended and received acclaim from students and faculty aUke. Sophomore Jorge Saladrigas summed up the performances by saying: "I came in ex- pecting a school play and what what I got was sheer enjoy- ment and delight!" With larger casts and an outstanding freshmen participation, the Association reached new heights and hopes to build on the success of this season.

Group Liven '^^ '^

from Development Office

Spring Hill College is proud to introduce an important addition to its already impressive variety of student associations. Badger Athletic Productions was formed through the Office of Student Life in an effort to give students, faculty, staff and the entire community an opportunity

to participate in Badger athletic events. The group, composed primarily of mem- bers of the student body, turns every SHC athletic event into a production by featur- ing giveaways, dancing, music and special guests. Badger Athletic Productions also co-sponsors the "Wendy's Half-court Challenge" at all Men's Basketball games. The group's largest endeavor was the purchase of a new uniform for the Badger mascot. The uniform, sponsored by Sprint PCS US Unwired, Inc., was unveiled Friday, January 19, at 7:30 p.m. in the Arthur Outiaw Recreation Center imme- diately before the Badger Men's basket- ball battie with Talladega College. Michael McMyne, Spring Hill freshman and co- founder of Badger Athletic Productions, says "the group has collabo- rated with our community partners to raise over $10,000 toward the production of events and the purchase of the new Badger mascot uniform. Student involvement is an indicator of student success at all campuses and Badger Athletic Productions is helping build that suc- cess at Spring Hill College."

Spring Hill College cheerieaders impressed fans this basketball season with their renewed dedi- cation. The squad of ten women and four men worked hard, practicing three days a week and at- tending games. With the supervision of Heather Bohan and a smnting instructor the co-ed squad worked to perfect stunts and make cheers more precise. The women of the squad choreographed and performed dances for halftime as well. At ev- ery Badger home game, the cheerleaders demon- strated their new look and filled the gym with spirit and encouragement. The team was not without hardships though. Lack of money was a large ob- stacle they faced this year. Although the team raised most of their money through the generosity of SGA, the Dean of Smdents, and a carwash early in the year, money became tight towards the end. The raised money was appreciated however and provided the team with uniforms, megaphones, pompoms, plus some lessons from a cheer instructor. To main- tain the squad skill level the team paid out of pocket for tumbling and stunting lessons for the last two months of the season. Luckily, due to their reliable cheer reputation, some private sponsors did step forward at the end of the season. Overall, the cheerleading program saw significant growth and the season was a great success that showed at every game.

In three short years, the Spring Hill Showstoppers have experienced tremendous growth. The team started with just eight members and has nearly doubled in size. The Showstoppers went from providing half dme entertainment to performing within the community. This year, they performed at the pep rally and the basketball games, but also at the Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival in October. They also collected canned goods and performed on WPMI NBC 15 for the Salvation Army's Spirit of Giving in December. During the summer, some of the mem- bers attended a dance camp sponsored by Universal Dance Association. They attended with other dance teams in the southeast region. They met many other teams from the area and even provided a kiddie camp for one of them. The Showstoppers played a big role in the development and success of Badger Ath- letic Productions. They have worked hand in hand to bring more contests and excitement to the bas- ketball games. The Showstoppers hope to continue to grow and take advantage of more oppormnities within the community.

The seniors of the 2000 men's soccer team would like to give the last word abotj this year's season. Although this year's season was filled with ups and downs, the seasd ended with the best record in school history (7-7). The team broke the .500 game mafl and quieTly made history. The team was composed of three seniors: Steve Forista* Greg Logush, and Ben WiHiams, one junior, and the remaining players were sophomore] and freshmen. The three seniors were each four- year starters and added a great deal cj experience and leadership to the team. The underclassmen elevated their play and wit the experience of the seniors, we were able to have a successful season. The soccer prograrij has come a long way in the past four years in the face of adversity. In spite of having thre] coaches in the past four years, meek financial assistance, and playing in one of the toughe:! conferences in the country, the men's soccer program has continued to improve. As 1 team we would Uke to thank our fellow students for their support at the games and arouni campus. As seniors, we leave behind a great group of soccer players and a strong foundatiot that that can be bmlt upon for fumre successful seasons.

The Lady Badger soccer team started off the season with a number of new faces. Not only did the team have eight freshman, they also welcomed a new head coach. The return- ing players from last year used their experi- ence to aid the freshman into the transition to collegiate athletics. The team started the sea- son off a little slow, but towards the end of the season, the girls were in peak form and ex- ceeded expectations by earning a .500 record. Along with a good season, the Lady Badger's goalkeeper, Christine Amesen, was named to the NAIA All-Region XIII team. Kat Euart, Tiffany Scallon, and Christine Amesen were named to the All-Gulf Coast Athletic Confer- ence team. The squad performed well consid- ering their youth and will be a formidable GCAC opponent going into next season.

Most men on Spring Hill's Campus have never seen 5:30 A.M., unless it's as they arrive home from a long night out. So what would possess the men of Spring Hill's Cross Country team to come out at this time for practice? With the goal of a conference title in mind, the team was on the streets of Spring Hill before the sun came up. With only 5 runners, the minimum for fielding an official team, the Badgers enjoyed their most successful season in their three-year history. Under the lead- ership of captain and team founder Jimmy Buscemi, the other members of the "Fab Five" notched the first victory in team history with a win over rival University of Mobile. The Badgers were considered one of the favorites for the GCAC championship, but they were met with unseason- able 85° heat at race time. This proved to be the difference in the grueling 5 mile race, as the Bad- gers finished 3rd, just missing their first GCAC title. Harvath, Buscemi, and Scalici earned All- GCAC honors and the Badgers in position to be considered the favorite for the 2001 GCAC Cham- pionship

It's 5:30 A.M.; do you know where your running shoes are? This was the battle cry of the Spring Hill Lady Badger Cross Country Team, as they took to the streets of Spring Hill and the surrounding community for the 2000 season. At a time when many of their fellow badgers were sound asleep, these women were constandy pushing themselves to new limits all in the name of Spring Hill Col- lege athletics. In what was supposed to be a re- building year after last year's GCAC individual champion, Erika Blattenberger, graduated and left the gates of The Hill, the Spring Hill women, un- der the direction of Coach Michelle Hoobler, ex- celled. With an army of new talent including fresh- men sensations Veronica Martin and Lauren HanseU, combined with the solid senior leadership of "Coach" Tarn Counts and Sabrina Hoobler, the Lady Badgers were a force in the GCAC. Their work culminated with a convincing victory over the hated Rams of the University of Mobile, and a 4th place finish in the conference championships, in which Veronica Martin was rewarded with All- GCAC honors for her efforts.

Coming off a surprising 2000 campaign which included a GCAC championship and a trip to the NAIA Elite Eight, the Men's Badger basketball program entered the 2000-2001 season with high hopes and expectations. With no seniors on last year's team, the men had an enormous amount of experience and talent. This, mixed with an excellent incoming freshmen class proved to be a unstoppable combination. Seniors Nicky Saacks and Shane Cline looked to lead a team packed with young talent and enthusiasm. The Badgers finished this years season with a 27-6 record. The team was a very tight-knit unit in which no one player carried the team throughout the entire season. Each player knew his role on the team and contributed to the Success of this year's campaign. Long hours of practice also proved to be of utmost importance for the team. These hours in the gym allowed the team to become more comfortable with each other and ensured superior physical conditioning.

Despite a loss to Dillard in the GCAC tournament finals and injury to key se- nior Nicky Saacks, the men's squad heads into the NAIA national confident in their ability to duplicate, if not surpass last year's performance. Additionally, the loss of only two senior players ensures that this team will be highly competitive next season when the program switches to NCAA Division basketball.

u/o/^EA/s BASKETBALL

By Fran Clarkson

Despite a season filled with injuries, illness, and controversy, the Lady Badger basketball team finished the season strong.. The team was led by the three | returning senior starters: Jessica Wendoleck, Nicolette Nalu, and JiU Mathias. Thesj ladies finished off an excellent career here at Spring Hill, and they served as excel- lent role models for their younger teammates. Senior Jessica Wendolek along with sophomore LaToya Baker were named to the All-GCAC team. Along with this honor, Wendolek finished her career with 1,466 points and several SHC women's basketball records.

The team, despite the tough losses throughout the season, still played with j great intensity. The ladies devoted coundess hours in the Arthur Oudaw Recreatioi Center conditioning and practicing. Their dedication to their coach and to each other proved to be one of the key factors that held this team together. Coach Miss\ Sharer continuously kept the girls focused on the season as despite the off court stories that were happening. Her coaching and grueling work ethic rubbed off on the girls and inspired them to play their best despite the circumstances.

The team looks forward to rebuilding a squad for the next season. This season was not an accurate reflection of the fuU potential or ability of the team or how well they can play together. The Lady Badgers are going to put this season behind them and start looking towards their bright future. Despite the loss of three seniors, the squad still have a talented core of players to work with for next season.* This, coupled with a good recruiting class, wiU put the girls right back where they belong at the top of their conference.

go far this year."

-Eric Jukes

by Zack Price

The begining of the 2001 baseball season marked a change in the name of the oldest college baseball field in the nation. What was once known as The Pit, is now known as Stan Galle Field. This name change was in honor of the former long-time Spring Hill College baseball coach Stan Galle.

With the new field came a new attitude. The men's team, anchored on senior leadership and an excellent pitching staff looked to lead the Badgers to their best record ever. Coundess hitting and field- ing drills day in and day out contributed to the teams' production for this year. Their dedication both in the weight room and on the field coupled with the talent on the team could not be beaten.

The squad is looking to make a run this year not only at the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference, but also at the NAIA national championship. This is definitely a realistic goal for the team based on their consistant hard work and dedication. The seniors on the team want to go out with a tide, and this year's team has all the tools to accomplish this feat.

"This years Badger Baseball team is experi- enced at every position. We lookto make a lot of noise m the GCAC on the road to nationals."

SOFTBALL

By Tony K. Estas

The Spring Hill Badger softball team started the season off with high expectations. The Lady Badgers were ranked 13th in the NAIA pre-season rankings. The team had aU of their starters remrn from the previous season which gave them a great deal of experience from the beginning. The return- ing players from the 1999-2000 season, along with the talented incoming freshman proved to be a po- tent combination. There was one significant loss the team suffered before the season started. The team lost an important assistant coach to a professional team in Holland. Although this was a huge loss, the ladies focused in on playing together as a solid unit and were led not only by the excellent coaching staff, but also the seniors and captains.

The softbaU field behind Murray Hall, which was built by the softbaU team themselves a few years ago, proved to be a "home away from home" for the ladies. Coundess hours were spent working on that field a few years ago, and this year the team spent many long hours perfecting their game. Hardwork and dedication were a key ingredients to the suc- cess the ladies had this year. Their hard work payed off and made this season an enjoyable one for the ladies. Congratulations ladies on a season well played!

"We work hard each day at practice to accomplish our individual dreams (espe- cially diry rolls) and our team dream of winning the National Championship."

The men's golf team had their work cut out for them from the beginning of the season. Three key players were gone from a year ago! One from graduation, ; one from transfer and one from "red-shirting." Improving everyone's game in preparation for next year is the teams main focus. The men's golf team is capable of competing with some of the top teams in the area, but everyone is having a difficult time putting it all together. A solid finish at regionals will help offset some of the struggles during the season.

The team was led by key returning senior and Ail-American Airey Chiapella, All- American Stephanie Gifford and Senior Corey Mladenka. The team opened their season with a victory over Mobile and Embry-Riddle at the Spring Hill Invitational. This success was followed up by a victory over Mobile and Calvin whicb vaulted the Lady Badgers into second in the NAIA national poll. The team is the heavy favorite to win the GCAC and will

The Spring Hill men's tennis team started the season off right with a seven match winning streak. The team had most of their players remrn from last season, and as a result, the team had a great deal of experience to work with. With the help of transfer student Pablo Juarez and the play of the upperclassmen, the team secureq a national rank of twenty- third in the N AIA . The talented team played well both in i singles and in doubles. Their teamwork and individual skill proved to be a potent mixture as the men mowed over most Division II opponents and even made a strong run against third-rankeed BYU-Hawaii. The team looked to again win the GCAC tide and also make a name for themselves at the national tournament.

The women's tennis program has progressed a great deal over the course of the years. This years tennis team was filled with youth and talent. The team consisted of six sophomores and three freshman. The ladies started off the season with a great deal of potential, and they displayed their talent against conference rivals DiUard defeating them soundly at Dillard's home court. The ladies, led by Coach Williamson, work extremely hard on their game on the tennis courts adjacent to the Badger's Den. The team experienced early season success, compliling an unexpected and impressive 11-2 record, but a string of difficult oppenents caused the record to drop to 1 2-6 at the time of this article. The Lady Badger's look to regroup and make a run for the GCAC tide as the program builds on its youth and talent.

^^^M Bfow can you continue to say that you have been educated? V^at kind of education, man, do you mean? Because you have worked on; syllogisms, and arguments with! equivocal premisses?

Let one of you show me such a per- son, so that I can say to him: Enter; young man, into your own, for it is:il your destiny to adorn philosophy,*} yours are these possessions, yours these books, yours these discourses^ Then, when he has worked his way through this field of study and mas- tered it like an athelete, let him come to me again and say, "I want, it is; true, to be tranquil and free from! turmoil, but I want also, as a god-j fearing man, a philosopher and a diligent student, to know what is my! duty towards the gods, towards par-:! ents, towards brothers, towards my] country, towards strangers."
