Looking Back
IIIHHIimiHllllltf'IHIimiMlIIIIIIIIHIinilllllUII. By LINDA CULLOM

ing from the famous Black Forest of
Germany. One anti-Hitler winner
threw his tree into the English Chan
nel later!
Since Coach Towns had to com
pete in Oslo, Norway, weeks later
in an international contest, he gave
his tree to Coach and Mrs. Stegeman
to take care of it for him. The
Stegemans had been taking a Euro
pean tour and attended the Olympics
to see Coach Towns.
On August 26, 1936, in Oslo,
Towns set the 110 meter high hurdles
record at 13.7. This world record
stood for fourteen years.
After the sapling came to Georgia
with the Stegemans, it was moved
three times. The Department of
Agriculture at the University kept it
for v while and studied it.
Then the sapling was planted be
hind Memorial Hall. An old Ger
man gardener by the name of Wein-
mueller tended the tree in the Uni
versity grenhouse for several years.
Since then, the tree has been re
planted behind the president’s box
behind the Georgia section of the
stadium.
The black tree, which Is now 25
years old, leafs-out earlier than any
of the other trees in this area every
spring. It has several acorns and
provides good shade.
The black tree is called such be
cause of the darkly colored leaves
that hang from its branches. Al
though this proud tree is now a for
gotten souvenir of the past, it is still
a reminder and symbol of the
achievements of a great champion
and coach—Coach "Speck” Towns.
Nestled among the clump of trees
behind the Georgia section of San
ford Stadium, a particular tree has
the distinction of being the only one
of Its kind in the United States.
Although this lone tree goes un
noticed, its significance still re
mains. The story of this stately old
tree began in Berlin, Germany, in
1936. It was the year of the World
Olympics. The competition was
keen.
One of the
United States' en
trees in the Olym
pics was the Uni
versity of Geor
gia’s own Coach
Forrest "Speck”
Towns. Coach
Towns was then
working under
Coach H. J. Stege
man, Athletic
Director of the University.
Coach Towns not only entered the
Olympics but also brought much
victory to his country. He set the
Olympic standard at 14.1 in the high
hurdles. He also set a new United
States and Southeastern Conference
record at 14.1.
Each winner In the Olympics was
presented with a gold medal. Coach
Towns was and still is the only good
medal winner from Georgia.
The Olympics had taken place dur
ing the time of Hitler’s big regime.
As a token of good will Hitler
authorized the International Olympic
Committee to present each gold
medal winner with a black oak sapl-

Freshmen Enjoy Annual Camp
Exactly what is Freshman CampT In the fall of 1069 when the
freshmen orientation program was enlarged, it was decided to begin
a fun-filled, yet informative weekend for outstanding incoming
freshmen.
The students were chosen for their
high school averages, and activities.
A good distribution geographically,
religiously, und in the various schools
was also strived for.
This year 107 freshmen went to
Rock Eagle Camp where they became
acquainted with each other and the
ways of the University of Georgia.
These freshmen had their ques
tions answered during their four
day session at camp. Through guest
speakers and discussion groups, these
students were familiarized with the
University.
Counselors were selected from
suggestions of the faculty and the
past counselors. Twenty-three up
per-classmen acted as counselors this
year. They were: Larry Aldridge,
Patsie Bradberry, Nick Bledsoe,
Carol Buckley, Jolyn Chastain, Jack
Dawson, Laura Doster, Bill Duna
way, Linton Dunson, Jim Harris,
Randall Hicks, Margaret King,
Hodges Lewis, Bill Mathias, Amy
McGuire, Pete McCommons, Penny
Maylor, Jack Sanders, John Tabor,
John Talbird, Ward Turner, Carol
Watrous, Carolyn Wynn, and Jerry
Payne.
In addition to the educational ses
sion held by University officials and
the counselors, there were campwide
social events.
One of the main advantages of the
camp was the opportunity given to
the freshmen to become acquainted
with each other and to share in the
many and varied activities of tho
camp period.
