Graveyard
gulp on Fast ('ampus It is
there where the bodies of the
other two students were
eventually moved.
Dean Tale played a part in
an effort to move the bodies
from the Jackson Cemetery to
the Oconee Cemetery. "Fcir a
long time it was unclear about
who was responsible lor the
maintenance of the cemetery,
the University or the city." he
said.
TIIF CEMETERY was lo
cated on the University’s
property, hut city people were
buried there Tate finally got
permission to move the bodies
but several families stopped
him. Tate said some '(amines
went so far as to "wave guns"
and ; t was then that the
moving was ceased.
During the construction of
Baldwin Hall, several un
marked graves of slaves were
discovered These bodies were
moved under the direction of
Dean Tate to the area where
the Athens waterworks are
located, and marked with a
large monument
In the mid 1960s. a reno
vation effort was made to
preserve the appearance of the
Jackson Cemetery, hut today it
lies much as it was before the
renovation - in a deteriorated
stale.
Dr Coleman said that when
he was a student, there
were many more tombstones,
but over the years, due lo
vandalism, the stones have
disappeared
VANDALISM IIAS always
been a problem to the
cemeteries and University
students are often responsible
Dean Tate said three students
got drunk one night and pushed
over some of the tombstones in
(X*onee Hills These students
were eventually arrested and
sentenced.
Other crimes have also been
reported in the cemetery.
Frank Shannon, public rela
tions officer for the campus
police, said that two years ago
there were many reported
cases of purse snatching in the
cemetery.
But other things have
happened in the cemetery
which were not so unlawful
For example. Dean Tate said
that in the days of hazing
freshmen, they would be taken
out to (he cemetery in the
middle of the night “They
would be left there alone in the
cemetery - tied up and
blindfolded." he said.
Many strange stories are
associated with the graveyard
and it has its share of ghost
stories. Dean Tate said that
one such story deals with a
Jim Smith buried there who
during his lifetime had the
reputation til being very mean
"You are supposed to near
moaning sounds coming from
his tomb. I don’t know,
though. I’ve never heard them
mysclt. Dean Tate explained
Another ghost story associ
ated with the cemetery also
has its share of disbelievers as
well as believers. It concerns a
Confederate soldier who gal
lops across the bridge that
spans the Oconee River on the
night ot the lull moon.
MANY PEOPLE have re
ported hearing the hoofheats
pounding over the bridge
around midnight
The cemetery was also
allegedly the scene of many
unusual events during the Civil
War years. One lady visitor
became "trapped" by the war.
and found it loo dangerous to
return to her northern home
She died in Athens Indore the
war ended, and was buried in a
common grave until her family
could come and get her But
she’s still there today
Another strange story is the
"Unknown Confederate
Soldier." According to legend,
the body ol a Confederate
soldier was found one day near
the tomb of an Athens family.
There was no identification
on his body. The family,
however, had him scaled inside
their family (onih with full
Confederate military honors.
TIIF INTERMENT records
ot the cemetery provide
countless stories ol how people
"landed" in the cemetery.
For example, entry number
972 tells of a Mr. John M.
Birch who was "shot and killed
by Brother Bill" in 1915.
Fourteen-year-old Fred
Brackshaw of Atlanta was
killed by a "gunshot wound"
on Dec. 16. 1905. In that same
year. W A England was
"killed by a street car in
Atlanta "
There is also mention of an
"unknown" male, who was
buried in a pauper's grave on
March 24. 1898 He was "killed
at S.A.L. Depot." No one
knows who he is. save by his
interment number: 76
Many famous personalities
are buried in the cemetery.
Among these are Crawford W.
Long, the famous Georgia
doctor who first used ether.
L.C.Q Lamar, whose bio
graphy is recorded in John R.
Kennedy's Profiles in Courage*
and Edwin I). Newton, who
was "a surgeon in Lee’s army,
and founder of 1st Lady's
garden club in America."
SEVERAL PEOPLE have
found their way into the
cemetery in unusual ways One
was Henri L. Stuart, who was
a philanthropist and co-owned
a New York ncwspa|>cr
He made a trip to Atlanta to
dedicate a portrait of Crawford
W Ling, and then made a one
and only trip to Athens where
he died ami was buried in 1879.
The cemetery is a itcaccful
and beautiful place m which to
walk None of the residents are
likely to make any noises and
many students have found
solitude t K ere.
A walk through the cemetery
is a walk through history
Manx famous people have
tnund a final home there.
And d you happen to wander
through on a night of a full
moon, you may just see the
Confederate charger However,
you should he warned: it is
against the law to lx* there
after hours.
Perhaps lor good reason.

Depersonalization: ‘Who, me?’

ATHENS' MOST COMPLETE SELECTION
OF CLASSICAL ALBUMS, EIGHT

OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
■■BCHWOOD SHOPPING CM HU
By CINDY NEAL
Imagine yourself a wide-
eyed freshman on the first day
of classes walking into your
Psychology 101 class and
facing 2(H) other wide-eyed
freshman
It's quite a shock, especially
il you just took all the wrong
buses and arrive 30 minutes
late, panting to catch your
breath and clutching your
crumbled schedule.
One freshman recalls a
similar incident during her
first chaotic week here. "I
thought the MH on the side of
the buses stood for Memorial
Hall' It's funny now. hut those
first tew days were really
aomeOiing.’*
MAW sn dims express
their feelings of "being a
number" when they think hack
to the tollies of late registra
tion and drop-add
"After standing around an
hour to get into the Coliseum
because the last number of my
social security number was
seven instead of three made
me really get the feeling of
being a number.” one student
said.
This depersonalization many
students feel is natural,
according to Cynthia Butler, a
clinical psychologist at the
University.
"It's quite normal for
.students to feel alienated when
they have just left home tor
the first time." she said.
"When they’re at home they
have their reinforcers 'famil
iar surroundings and people*,
hut when they get up here they
<k>n't have any
"The main problem most
students seem to have in
dealing with their alienation
feelings is a lack of social
skills People are usually
afraid to just go up and speak
to people." she said.
It appears the shyer students
may have the worst problem of
all. A junior at the University
said. "I'm basically a shy
person, and when I came here
as a freshman. I was
downright scared the first time
I walked in Bolton and saw all
those strange faces.”

XNOTIIER STUDENT said.
"I lounri it hard to meet people
at first It seemed that
everyone just minded their
own business or had their own
little groups already."
Some of the more outgoing
students said they had feelings
of missing all the attention
they received in high school
Many students join a frater
nity or sorority to ease this
problem One young man in a
fraternity said. "I guess I
joined a fraternity to meet
people and have someone to
party down with."
Another hig problem in a
university this size seems to be
the breakdown of student-fa
cults communication. In a
class ol 2«Mi students some
students said they would rather
lie confused than confront the
professor with their question.
Scott Lane, a teacher's
Art by GARY WEBB
assistant <TA* felt that many
students tend to have a fear of
professors and are more likely
to approach a TA with their
problem.
I INK, \ TA for a large
led ue class added. "Profes
sors really do prefer students
to come up and discuss
problems rather than ignore
them. As a TA I grade tests
and receive most of students'
feedback and questions Some
times 1 wish the student would
go lo the professor with certain
questions because he knows
more and might be able to
answer the question better."
A student in a psychology 258
class expressed her feelings of
depersonalization in a candid
manner. On Valentine's Day
she gave her professor a
valentine that read like this:
"For teacher on Valentine's
Day. Ix>ve. 258-72-6203!”
