The Athens West Lions Club and
WRFC-AM 96 are sponsoring the
3rd Annual “fright for Sight’
haunted house to benefit the
Athens Unit of Georgia Recording
for the Blind and other Lions sight
and hearing programs.
The haunted house scares visi
tors nightly from 7 p.m. to mid
night through Halloween.
Tours of the haunted house have
two to six people in each group and
last about IS minutes.
Each group encounters the de
mons of Athletic Association Di
rector Vince Dooley and University
President Charles Knapp, the
pitch-black maze, Chainsaw Man,
the courtroom of the dead and
many other attractions.
At the end of the tour, most of
the people — breathless and con
fused — can be seen running from
the house.
"I would recommend coming,’
Chuck Hancock, a graduate stu
dent, said. “Not being able to see
was the scariest part."
Julie Barrington, a junior polit
ical science major, said, “The dark
part was really fun.”
Steve Helwig, president of
Athens West Lions Club, said the
house isn’t necessarily the place for
children under 12.
"Unless you want someone
clinging to your chest for the rest of
their life,” Helwig said. “Although
we give parents nightmares too.
Vistitors don’t have to park on
the highway this year, Helwig said.
They can park in a parking lot for a
50 cent donation.
The Lions Club, founded in 1919
in Chicago by Melvin Jones, has
long been involved in raising
money to help the blind.
At the organization’s 1925 con
vention, Helen Keller challenged
the organization to be her “Knights
for Sight,” Helwig said.
Helping the blind became the
Lions Club’s main philanthropy.
There are 39,000 Lions Clubs,
1.4 million members and Lions
Clubs in 162 countries, Helwig
said.
University students joined the
effort to raise money through a
haunted house in 1987.
Members of Circle K, Alpha
Kappa Psi, Gamma Sigma — as
well as other University students
— help run the house, Helwig said.
Helwig said they try to help the
students with costumes to coordi
nate with the themes of the rooms
where they work.
The house isn’t the
place for kids under 12.
“A lot of them come up with their
own designs,” he said.
Circle K Projects Chairman Lori
Moore, a sophomore animal health
mayor, said Circle K won the award
for the most hours manning the
haunted house last year. Circle K’s
purpose is community service,
Moore said
‘That’s our major reason for
existence,” she said.
The “FYight for Sight” haunted
house is located on the Macon
Highway one mile north of
Watkinsville. Tickets are $5, avail
able at Mama Sid’s Pizza,
Schlotzsk/s, Pearle Vision Center,
and Up and Away Balloons.
Advising is more than a pre-registration duty
By UZETTE KODAMA
Contributing Writer
No student is allowed to register
without a signed pink slip from his
or her adviser — that’s the rule.
But, there is more to getting ad
vised than just getting a pink slip,
said Frances Rauschenberg, coor
dinator of Advising and Retention.
Students can reap greater benefits
from the process.
Many times, advising helps the
student personalize the academic
experience, Rauschenberg said.
^Students need a link with the
campus,” she said. “Only a certain
percentage can live in the dorm.
Others are commuters.”
Junior transfer student Lisa
Wideman said, ‘The first couple of
weeks here were hard. Though I
was already into my studies, my
adviser was very supportive and
helpful."
What Rauschenberg stresses the
most is that advising isn’t sched
uling. Advising helps in choosing a
career, deciding to double mcyor,
selecting a minor or doing an inter
nship.
“Students don’t milk the
relationship like they should,” she
said.
To have an effective relationship
with an adviser, a student must
keep the lines of communication
open.
“I can give all the advice I can,
but it doesn’t help if the student
doesn’t respond,” Rauschenberg
said.
Kim Fairweather, a freshman
microbiology m^jor, applauds her
adviser.
“He’s great,” Fairweather said.
“Not only has he helped me with
my courses, but with a career.”
Developing a good relationship
with an adviser can lead to a letter
of recommendation or contacts for
summer employment. And it can
create a lasting friendship.
“My adviser and I spend a lot of
time together just talking,”
Fairweather said.
Rauschenberg said a good ad
viser should bring out the best in
the student.
“He or she encourages and opens
doors for that student,” she said.
And, of course, advising keeps
students on the right track.
A problem Rauschenberg saw
during her four and one-half years
as an adviser in the College of Arts
and Sciences is students taking
classes without the prerequisites.
“Students will try to take some
400-level religion class without
taking the basics,” she said. ‘They
must understand that they are re
sponsible if they go against what
tne adviser has signed.”
But some students want a little
leeway.
‘There should be more flexibility
as far as what the student wants to
take,” said Carol Gunnett, a junior
biochemistry major.
Butts-Mehre pays tribute to University’s most successful athletics
By JUDY LYNCH
Contributing Writer
‘The Decade of the Eighties” will
be the theme of a new exhibit to
open in Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall
this fall.
The exact date for the opening
hasn’t been set.
The exhibit will include tributes
to all of the University’s athletic
teams that helped make the ath
letic program the most successful
in the Southeastern Conference
during the 1980s, said Tony Cu-
shenberry, museum director.
“This exhibit, along with an en
tire cube dedicated to baseball, will
be the two new exhibits which we
hope will be ready by the end of No
vember,” Cushenberry said.
The SEC doesn’t award a trophy
to the school that has the best
overall athletic program for a de
cade, but the new exhibit in Butts-
Mehre will be a kind of trophy for
all of Georgia’s successful teams,
he said.
Exhibits at Butts-Mehre are set
up in display cubes, and there is
limited space. As an incentive for
all of the University’s teams to be
the best in the nation at their
sports, Athletic Director Vince
Dooley promised each of the
coaches tnat their sport would be
given an entire cube if they won a
national championship.
Since the 1990 Bulldog baseball
team won the National Collegiate
Athletic Association national
championship, the baseball exhibit
will no longer share a cube with the
track exhibit. Baseball will have its
own cube.
Three faces of the baseball ex
hibit cube will be dedicated to the
1990 championship season. The
faces will display Coach Steve
Webber’s baseball cap, a bat, glove
and jersey from the team, and the
championship game ball.
The fourth face of the exhibit
will present a history of University
b—ball.
To make room for the baseball
display, the track exhibit will be
moved into a cube with the golf dis
play, which currently occupies an
entire cube bv itself.
Because of the Bulldog basket
ball team’s success — making it to
the NCAA Final Four during the
1989-90 season — that display will
The SEC doesn’t award a trophy to the school
that has the best overall athletic program for a
decade, but the new exhibit in Butts-Mehre will
be a kind of trophy for all of Georgia’s successful
teams.
be revamped.
“One player who needs to be
highlighted without question is
Alec Kessler,” said Norm Reilly, as
sociate sports information director.
The exhibits in the museum are
updated each year, and Cushen
berry hopes, in the future, all work
for the previous year will be com
pleted by the next football season.
