Trivia Time
What’s My Line?
by John Shiffert, University Relations
Our last trivia question took on some of the
aspects of an old-time quiz show. (Note to
all you youngsters – those were reality TV
before there was reality TV.) Maybe
“What’s My Line” or “To Tell the Truth.”
The question was, who has had the more
titles at Clayton State than Dr. Benita
Moore? There were several good guesses,
notably the ubiquitous Pat Keane, who has
seen everything and done everything at
Clayton State over the past 25+ years.
However, the answer we were looking for
came from the individual who posed the
question… Dr. Angelyn Hayes… and no
one guessed her. In case you’re wondering,
here’s the list of Hayes’ titles at Clayton
State (and she ought to know); Instructor,
Acting Assistant Director of Continuing
Education, Coordinator of JTPA,
Coordinator of Cooperative Education,
Assistant Director of Career Services,
Associate Director of Career Services,
Director of Experiential Learning, Acting
Assistant to the VP of Academic Affairs,
Director of Experiential Learning and
Online
Instruction,
Director
of
Experiential Learning and Academic
Advising, Director of Career Services,
Director of Career Services and
Coordinator
of
Student
Affairs
Assessment, Assistant VP of Student
Affairs.
Whew… for compiling that resume, and
for stumping the field, Hayes gets six triv-
ia points.
As to the Bonus Question, “who joined
Moore as one of the all-Ph.D. “Twirling
Professors” in the Homecoming Parade
some 10 years ago?” Maybe you had to be
there, but it was one of the great moments
in Clayton State history, featuring Drs.
Moore, Cathie Aust and Lisa Eichelberger.
Three Bonus Points each for Lou Brackett
and Ginny Bass for remembering a memo-
rable occasion.
Moving to a completely different subject,
what did Fa Zhou tell Mulan when she
returned from defeating the Huns (not that
the Huns actually got to that part of China,
it was the Mongols, but Disney doesn’t fol-
low history directly.)
Krommelova Named to
Capital One Academic All-District Team
After enjoying another solid all-around
season athletically, Clayton State
University claimed yet another high rank-
ing in the annual Peach Belt Conference
Commissioner Cup standings
The final standings were announced at the
conference’s annual meetings earlier this
week, and Clayton State finished third
overall in the 2012-13 Peach Belt
Conference Commissioner Cup, finishing
behind only Armstrong State and
Columbus State in the final tally. This
marks the fifth time that Clayton State has
finished at least in the top-3 in the
Commissioner Cup standings, and the
Lakers have finished at least in the top-5
every year since 2006.
With 112 possible points, Clayton State
accumulated 72 points for a rating of .643.
Armstrong won the Cup at .803, followed
by Columbus State at .764. Finishing
behind Clayton State were USC Aiken
(.641),
Georgia
College
(.553),
Montevallo (.530), Lander (.528), Flagler
(.500) Augusta State (.492), UNC
Pembroke (.484), North College (.466),
Young Harris (.446), Francis Marion
(.398), and Georgia Southwestern (.248).
Clayton State captured regular season
championships in women’s cross country
and women’s basketball during the 2012-
13 season. In addition, the Lakers finished
in the upper half of the league standings in
the following sports: men’s cross country
(fifth), women’s soccer (T-fourth), men’s
golf (fifth) and women’s tennis (T-fifth).
The Commissioner’s Cup is presented
annually to the best overall athletic pro-
gram in the league. The PBC
Commissioner’s Cup is determined by
calculating the number of points possible
to each school, given the number of sports
they participate in, divided by the number
of points earned during the year.
Points are determined by placement in the
final regular-season standings of each of
the PBC’s 15 championship sports.
