You can ' t live in that nice apartment o r dorm forever. You know where you belong, and so does University Housing. Yes, you belong in the den of wedded bliss, the Married Student Apartments. It sounds enticing, but are you really well suited? Are you a true Spartan, one who only needs a monk ' s cubicle? Per- haps you feel comfort is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. The apartments on West Roosevelt (not to mention the collection on Nicholson) are a masochist ' s dream. (con ' t) Ford Ford Competent Psychiatric Assistance Ford Spacious Storage Area Ford Do you love to be very, very near to other featherless bipeds? Married Student Housing can give you the chance of your life the opportunity to hear heavy breath- ing from the couple three apart- ments over; or better yet, the exhilarating concerts when they team up for duets in the shower. Are you interested in the lives of others? Rephrased, are you nosy? Lucky you, Married Student Housing provides so you may hear every word your neighbors utter. Conversations waft in clearly through the gas heaters, uncen- sored. Having trouble waking up in the morning? Alarm clocks in neigh- boring apartments will help you rise and shine. Like to be looked after, as Mom used to do? Housing pops by once a month for Spray Day. Aside from spraying for roaches, these fine people check to make sure the oven is not embalmed in lard, as well as spy on ice buildup in the freezer. If this life of indolence and glamour appeals to you, kindly administer to yourself the follow- ing quiz: A. You have just moved into a new apartment in Unit I on Nicholson and discover a terrible curse. The last three couples who lived there separated. You are a practicing Druid and your spouse follows Voodoo. How do you solve this dilemma? B. While you are baking cookies at 3 a.m. your kitchen faucet breaks in two. You know nothing about faucets, as you grew up with 14 servants before your father ran off with Free Entertainment (The Thinnest Walls in Town) Ford 16 Student Life Prince Charles and Mom had to take in laundry. Your spouse is an Amish philosophy student. He she does not believe in modern appliances and is too busy reading Kant to notice, anyway. Do you call Housing to fix the fountain coming from the faucet? (If you answered yes, transfer directly to Texas A M.) Upon passing this test, apply as quickly as possible to Married Student Housing, so you too may rent your own little place in the sun. It ' s more fun than owning a yacht in Nebraska.

Part of the college experience since the beginning. Men ' s dorms haven ' t changed in concept or experience since the Dark Ages, but then they were called Monasteries. The same jokes on the bathroom walls, not to men- tion the creations of frustrated art- ists (lovers), the same late night restlessness for which there is no cure (but bull-sessions at least take your mind off of it for a while). The cramming for exams, the noisy neighbors, the weird roommates are all part of scholastic experience and have been for a thousand years. That first day - - running from the housing office to men ' s housing and back, Getting the Key, trying to check in with the counselor (how come the dorm doors are still locked?), you must be my room- mate (God, why do I always get the prizes?). Finally, (at last!) school starts, schedules are ironed out, books bought, you get a good roommate, the cafeteria opens (after paying fees, you didn ' t have any money left to eat with!), and you ' ve even stud- ied some for your classes. Only one thing is lacking and you roam the streets looking for her. You stare at girls in the post-office, try blind dates, even go to a dorm dance or two, utterly fruitless. Rayner 20 Student Life Rayner Rayner In despair you decide to get drunk. (What ' s the cheapest bar in town?). You ' re halfway there, your eyes have only lost their focus slightly, when there she is at your elbow - - a vision of loveliness. What ' s a nice girl like you doing in a dump like this? Looking for me? Oh baby, where have you been all my life? I don ' t care about them; do you believe in love at first sight? Someone is shaking you - - hey. buddy, wake up, it ' s closing time. You did make it after all. Somehow you find your car (of course, it ' s yours, the keys fit, didn ' t they?). This place looks somehow famil- Williams iar -- you kill the car and stagger in. Where am I? Kirby-Smith?! You somehow find your room and fall into your bed and should it occur to you, you would find no comfort in the thought that not all of your edu- cation takes place in the classroom. - Terry Mathers Rayner Student Life 21 O) a 03 u o Some people have all the luck . . . Zietz Zietz LeBlanc 22 Student Life Zielz Student Life 23 Registration Meredith Meredith While observing the current debate over selective admissions, I am reminded of my experience at the University during my freshman year. The first semester history class was several times more crowded than the second semester class. And at the first session of the second semester, my professor remarked: Well, it looks as though those who were here for the football season have gone home. Those who oppose selective admissions proposals, including our SGA President, forget that we don ' t do a great favor to unprepared stu- dents by letting them spend a semester in limbo here. Some say the freshman year represents a weeding out process; why not do the weeding out before the students enter the University? Students who drop out after one semester con- sume a portion of the University resources that could be better spent. The current open admissions pol- icy is defended as being part of the University ' s tradition as a poor man ' s university open to all citi- zens of the state, and as a multi- purpose university including the applied sciences as well as the lib- eral arts. But the University also has a duty to be the university of the state. A multi-purpose university need not degenerate into a junior high school. The University must remain div- erse in composition of both the stu- dent body and its curriculum, but as a university it must be devoted to higher learning and not to those areas which should be the domain of elementary and secondary edu- cation. An open admission policy will not magically endow those graduates of inferior high schools Camacho 24 Student Life Dean of Konum Ken ' s Housing omen ' s Housing food Smices Camachc with the tools necessary for a suc- cessful college career. Besides, the proposed policy would allow any student to enroll at the University after completing his freshman or sophomore years at one of the smaller state colleges. As for the argument that the selective policy would close the uni- versity to blacks: 1) Those students who were here for football season will be found to have been mostly white. 2) It ' s racist to say that no blacks in Louisiana could score over 15 or 16 on the ACT. 3) Only several hundred blacks have chosen to enroll at the University. Black leaders have bitterly fought any attempt to destroy the identity of Southern University. As educa- tional and economic opportunities improve for blacks, the need for Southern University may be ended. By that time, the same percentage of blacks should be able to meet the same selective admission require- ments as whites. When our new state constitution was passed, voters were presented with two alternatives for higher education. One would have placed the University under the same administration as the other state colleges. The other, the one voters approved, allowed the University to retain its separate administration and status. Thus, the Board of Supervisors has a mandate to estab- lish a unique university with higher standards than the other state col- leges. The administration will hopefully carry out its plan to aggressively recruit highly qualified, well-pre- pared students. But the University will have little more to offer than it presently does if it has to pour more of its resources into remedial pro- grams. Gifted students will tend to continue to see the University as mediocre and will continue to leave the state for private institutions in distant regions. Anyone who keeps an eye on the Camacho writings of popular opinionmakers will observe that the state universi- ties are being increasingly por- trayed as havens for students to take a four-year extended vaca- tion. If students don ' t support measures to raise the standards at the university they may find them- selves vulnerable to politically- motivated punitive measures which may increase financial demands on the students even further. It is true that Huey Long wanted a poor man ' s university but he also wanted one with a strong aca- demic reputation that would com- pare favorably with the great pri- vate universities of the East. Even he would recognize that we don ' t do anyone a favor by admitting someone to the University when he is unprepared to profit from the experience.

Con- troversy developed out of a seem- ingly ordinary and traditional event. Members of the SGA and the administration became involved in homecoming as never before. The following account relates the events leading to a most unique week on Williams the LSU campus. July 1976 Alphe Williams and I were appointed by SGA President Ted Schirmer to be co-chairmen of the LSU Homecoming Committee. The rest of the committee was com- posed of volunteer students (Mary Beth Arceneaux, Alisa Blaize, Kathy Finley, Larry Hoskins, Mary Morales, Brad Pesson, Patti Row- land), administrators (Mrs. Julia Farris, Assistant Dean of Women and Mr. Randy Curie, Assistant Dean of Men) and a representative of the Alumni Federation (Mr. Huey Brown, field secretary). The members of the committee were experienced and began work imme- diately on what they hoped would be the best homecoming ever. Williams Sept. 29, 1976 Members of the LSU football team selected ten court finalists from a field of 52 contestants nomi- nated by competing campus organi- zations. The first black finalist in LSU ' s history was among those selected. Homecoming The homecoming court finalists (along with their sponsoring organi- zations) were: Renee Balestrino, Kappa Sigma fraternity; Liane Cox, Power Hall dorm; Sloane Davis, Graham Hall dorm; Judy Fousch, East Hall dorm; Lynn Her- ring, Acacia fraternity; Monica James, Phi Kappa Psi fraternity; Frances Moore, Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority; Cynthia Payton, Zeta Phi Beta sorority; Jan White- head, LSU Union fashion commit- tee; and Camille Wright, Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Home- coming was off to a good start. Oct. 5, 1976 Voting for the homecoming court began in the Union at 8 a.m. Later that morning, Ted Schirmer ordered a change in the voting pro- Rayner 30 Student Life cedures. Students were required original!) to vote for a mandaton, number of three contestants: other- w ise. their ballots would be voided. This procedure had been in effect for many years and had not been changed. The requirement to vote for three was used to ensure a definite win- ner and to prevent bloc voting by the larger sponsoring organizations. Schirmer modified that require- ment to one must vote for a maxi- mum of three. thus allowing a stu- dent to vote for one. two or three contestants. His reasoning was that the election fell under the rules of the SGA election board and had to conform to election rules which had been established for public oficials. Schirmer also felt the vote for three requirement was racially dis- criminatory against the sole black contestant. Later in the day. the voting procedure was changed back to the original requirement by Alphe Williams. That evening, the homecoming committee melt and decided that one of the contestants must be dis- qualified because she was a fresh- Long man (Monica James). Previous homecoming rules had barred freshmen from entering into com- petition. I later rescinded the dis- qualification because Miss James was determined to be eligible. The voting procedure was reexa- mined and the committee decided to continue with the original proce- dure. All ballots for the day were counted, regardless of the number of votes cast. Oct. 6. 1976 Voting continued in the Union with the original procedure as set down by the homecoming commit- tee. Schirmer sought administrative action to halt what he considered to be a racially discriminatory and illegal election. That evening, mem- bers of the Student Assembly signed a petition protesting the alleged sexually and racially dis- criminatory practices of the home- coming committee. The allegation of sexual discrimi- nation arose from the fact that Dana Robert. SGA legislative vice- president, was not going to be allowed to escort one of the mem- bers of the homecoming court. Rayner Precedent had apparently given the honor of escorting a member of the court to the holder of that office. Miss Robert was given an official part in the pre-game ceremonies which she accepted. The homecoming committee assembled that evening to accept and answer questions from a group of black students dissatisfied with the voting procedure. The commit- tee also considered several ques- tions posed to them by Dr. James Reddoch. vice-chancellor for stu- dent affairs, in response to com- plaints received by his office from two students. The questions dealt with the three-vote requirement, the eligibility criteria, and the effect of changing the voting procedure Tuesday. The question of a possible second election was raised. The homecoming committee answered all questions posed by the students and decided that they would con- tinue with the present voting proce- dure. The black students said they would org anize a picket line inside the Union Thursday morning to protest what they considered to be discriminatory voting procedures. Student Life 31 Earlier in the day in a letter to me. Dr. Reddoch had expressed his opinion that the homecoming com- mittee was a university committee and, therefore, not subject to the rules of the SGA election board. My investigation also leads me to the conclusion that this committee is the only duly constituted com- mittee charged with the authority and responsibility for staging the homecoming queen election. Oct. 7, 1976 Voting continued in the Union. It appeared that a record number of students would turn out to vote in this year ' s election. Union officials HIKE fISHING FORA Tic.ee VICTOCT were alerted to the possibility of a picket line. Extra plainclothes policemen from Campus Security were stationed throughout the Union. Dr. Reddoch met with the homecoming committee at noon to discuss the questions posed by him to the committee. Schirmer inter- rupted the meeting by claiming to be a member of the committee. He was not at that time and had never been considered a member of the committee. The minutes of the first meeting, the only one attended by Schirmer, had erroneously listed him as a member. When asked to leave, Schirmer said he would go find Chancellor Paul Murrill. After adjoining the meeting, co-chairman Alphe Wil- liams and I were presented with an executive order from Schirmer dis- missing us and effectively disolving the rest of the committee. It was learned at that point that Schirmer had met with a group of students earlier and had appointed them to a new SGA homecoming committee. A decision was reached to dismiss the co-chairmen of the original committee and confiscate the ballot boxes, thus halting the election. The ballot boxes were locked away in Schirmer ' s office. Chancellor Murrill met with Schirmer, me and the SGA home- coming committee to express his concern about the homecoming sit- uation. Dr. Murrill indicated that it would be nearly impossible to choose a queen from the results of the election because of the inconsis- Mann tencies in the voting procedure. The meeting adjourned with each of the homecoming committees denying the existence and authority of the other. The original homecoming committee decided to continue with their work to ensure a successful pep rally and decorations competi- tion. The pep rally was held at the football practice field late in the afternoon. The games competition consisted of a 10-member relay team passing an orange neck-to- neck one way and an ear of corn knee-to-knee the other way. Win- ners were as follows: Independents: First Place Evangeline Hall, Sec- ond Place - LSU ROTC. Third Place -- Graham Hall; Sororities: First Place - - Delta Gamma, Sec- ond Place Alpha Xi Delta, Third Place Alpha Omicron Pi; Frater- nities First Place Acacia, Sec- ond Place - Theta Xi. and Third Place Lambda Chi Alpha. Charlie Mac and the LSU foot- ball team participated in the pep rally along with the LSU cheerlead- ers. At the end of the pep rally I read a statement from Chancellor Murrill. In it. Dr. Murrill expressed his regret at the turn of events. Because of the unfortunate break- down in the inter-relationships among various campus groups and in the election procedures, no one of the ten finalists can be fairly named. 1 have, therefore, regret- fully decided that LSU wilfnot have a homecoming queen this year. Instead, all ten finalists will be Mann 32 Student Life c i honored as the homecoming court. ' Because of the controversy with the escorts, there would be none this year. Silent faces left the field. hoping that somehow a queen might be selected. Oct. 8. 1976 Ted Schirmer and the SGA Mann Homecoming Committee organized a second election, requiring stu- dents to vote for only one contest- ant. Dr. Murrill stated that he would not prohibit the election, but that it would have to be sanctioned by the Alumni Federation. The Alumni Federation stipulated that the number of students voting in the second election had to equal the number that voted in the first elec- tion. The original homecoming com- mittee held a practice at the foot- ball stadium later on with the mem- bers of the court to go over pre- game homecoming ceremonies. The girls left afterwards to try and meet with Dr. Murrill. At the meeting, Dr. Murrill told the girls that he would abide by their wishes. After an extended discussion, the girls decided upon the following provi- sions: All ten girls were eligible and would be on the homecoming court. The results o f the original election would be used to determine a queen. None of the runner-up posi- tions would be determined and no additional points would be awarded to any of the sponsoring organiza- tions. There would be no escorts for the girls and the results of the sec- ond election were to be completely disregarded. The girls had solved the contro- versy of homecoming. The stolen ballots from Thursday ' s vote were returned to the LSU homecoming committee to be counted. For once, all seemed well. Williams Student Life 33 Camacho Mann Saturday, October 9, 1976 Judging of the homecoming decorations began early in the day and was finished by noon. At the pre-game ceremonies, the results of the decorations competition were announced: Independents - - First Place, Annie Boyd-Grace King Hall; Second Place, McVoy Hall; Third Place, Old Graham Hall. Sororities First Place, A O Pi; Second Place, Kappa Alpha Theta; Third Place, Kappa Kappa Gamma. Fraternities - - First Place, Theta Xi; Second Place, Acacia; Third Place, Phi Kappa Theta. Sweepstakes results were: First Place, Acacia; Second Place, Theta Xi; Third Place, A O Pi. The ten members of the court walked out onto the field unescorted. They were all presented flowers by Mr. Camacho Pres Foster, president of the LSU Alumni Federation. The announcement was then made, for the first time, that Monica James, a freshman from Baton Rouge, would be this year ' s homecoming queen. She was crowned by Mr. Foster. 34 Student Life Cats r ation. time. was And so ended a most unusual week of activities. No one would ever be able to forget this year ' s homecom- ing. But the controversy did not end here . . . by Michael Williams M ann Mann Mike Williams Student Life 35 When I was first asked to submit something to the Gumbo on home- coming, I knew it was a must to have our side of this very controver- sial issue shown. I will make one short statement along with some facts which will explain why the controversy evolved. Upon hearing of the mandatory three vote rule, which disqualified = ffimecominp finalists Meredith any ballots which deviated from three choices, and upon hearing that this was the first year we had a black candidate, Cynthia Payton, I realized that this rule would, in effect, make her winning impossi- ble. It has always been my policy to counter discrimination of any kind. I never intended to hamper the homecoming festivities in any way - I only insisted on a fair election. Without going into greater detail, I would like to reveal the outcome of the second election held Friday, October 8th in which 1,848 students voted. Compare this to the approxi- mately 2,000 students who voted in last year ' s election or the 1,400 who voted in the fall SGA election. Fri- day ' s election certainly, then, was a consensus of the students. No evi- dence of block voting can be seen. The winner of the second election was Cynthia Payton with 354 votes. First runner-up was Judy Fousch with 301 votes, then Monica James with 266 votes, Lynn Herring with 222 votes and Sloane Davis with 163. by Ted Schirmer 36 Student Life Meredith Mann Meredith Student Life 37 38 Student Life Renee Balestrino Liane Cox Sloane Davis Judy Fousch Lynn Herring Monica James Frances Moore Cynthia Payton Jan Whitehead Camille Wright Camacho Camacho Student Life 39 Recall Election For Recall It is not unusual for criticism to fall upon the SGA President. Therefore, it came as no surprise that unorthodox Ted Schirmer became the center of controversy almost immediately following his election. What was surprising was the intensity of the controversy and the widespread dissatisfaction with Schirmer. Talk of impeachment echoed in the halls of an otherwise conservative Assembly even in Schirmer ' s first months in office. But because the SGA impeachment articles had previously been declared unconstitutionally vague by the University Court, the talk soon turned to another method of removing an SGA president - recall. Many students were disillusioned with an SGA president who had run on a platform of idealism and privilege, and then sought special privilege for himself. Schirmer ' s methods and policies caused con- flicts within the SGA structure and with people who worked closely in his office. Opponents claimed that it was impossible to work with him and that he sought confrontation instead of solutions. The alleged illegal mailing of a $2,000 newsletter designed to inter- est students in a tuition increase after the bill had already passed both houses of the legislature angered many SGA members and added fuel to the anti-Schirmer fire during the summer. After a series of conflicts, action was touched off by Schirmer him- self. The Homecoming Queen elec- tion ended abruptly when Schirmer seized the ballot boxes and locked them in his office. That very day, angry students signed and circu- lated petitions to recall Ted Schirmer from office. Petitions passed through dorms, sorority meetings and the Union. On Oct. 25, over 3200 names were certified by the Registrar ' s Office, more than enough to call a recall election. The Election Board met and set an election for Oct. 29. Sc hirmer went to University Court and the recall election was post- poned until the following Thursday. That day witnessed the largest fall election turnout in LSU history with over 4,000 students voting. (This was equal to the number that had voted in the campus-wide spring election the year before.) After the votes had been counted, it was reported that Schirmer remained in office by a slim 20 votes, hardly what one would call a mandate from the people. Sup- porters of the recall ' complained that the one polling place with long lines kept law students and fraterni- ties from voting in large numbers. Perhaps the best thing that emerged from the heated struggle was the release of some of the ten- sion that kept both factions from working to make SGA productive. Maybe it also served as a reminder to SGA members to return to the business for which they were elected serving the students. - Ned Wright Zietz Ford Against Recall March 29, 1976, one of the most heated elections in SGA history. Ted Schirmer, the winner in a field of five candidates. His slogan: Schirmer for Students. Just what has he done? Concerts in the Memorial Oak Grove; Parade Ground Bicenten- nial concert; free strawberries on the steps of the Union; SGA Free Press; Off-campus bank account (earning interest for us, not them); newsletter which saved the Infir- mary; free buses for voter registra- tion; lobby effort during the sum- mer; saved money by taking out the SGA president ' s private phone line; hiring work study students who are paid by the federal government; keeping Foster Commons open til 2 a.m. each night during finals with half price drinks . . . Need I con- tinue? Then the recall put a halt to SGA Assembly business for about a month. The result: Ted wins another election. This time against stiffer competition. Shall we call it ignorance? Much campaign literature was distributed in favor of the recall. Some true. Some not so true. The students decided. We won it again, didn ' t we? - Mike Richman - Molly Moss Zietz Camacho Student Life 41 r Camacho Camacho 42 Student Life Camacho Camacho Camacho Ca macho Student Life 43 Due Due 44 Student Life Camacho Religion and politics were favor- ite topics of Free Speech Alley ora- tors this year. Large and small crowds cheered and jeered speakers in the bull pen of fair play. The opening rounds of the alley provided a convenient battlefield for SGA president Ted Schirmer. One-time enthusiasts for Schirmer dutifully informed stu- dents as to the workings of the stu- dent president. Schirmer often took the soapbox to defend his actions for a summer newsletter, for the homecoming controversy and later, his fight to retain his student- elected position. More students than not hurrahed and defended Schirmer at the Alley. The outcome of the recall election upheld the incumbent. Aside from the omnipresent poli- tics, religion played a major role in alley speeches. Frank Boston each week took the box, preaching of the coming of an anti-Christ, the sec- ond coming and the Rapture. Often large crowds remained hours with the crusaders, sometimes joining in prayers. Alley spectators, like students enrolled in a class, dutifully attend each Alley. But unlike the class- room, free speech is the essence of the Alley. by Anita Edwards Student Life 45 Christmas [a Ni ;.. ' - Within the fast paced 20th cen- tury in which we live we are observ- ing a phenomenon taking place which is unlike anything else we know. It is called the Season to be jolly. For those who are not acquainted with such terminology it is sometimes and probably more infrequently called Christmas. This time of year is characterized by many different aspects. For some it is frantic, frenzied custom- ers fluttering around as many stores as possible with hopes of purchas- ing the ideal gift or gifts for his or her closest friend. To others it is also a time for parties. And who doesn ' t like a party? To other enthusiasts it is a time for decorat- ing the Christmas tree or attending Ford the annual Christmas parade. And let us not forget the visit from that little man in red pulled by eight reindeer. And may we also remem- ber that wonderful warm time we all experience by being with those we love. Someone has described such a time as being their favorite time of year because everyone is so warm and full of the Christmas 46 Student Life spirit. But wait a minute. Is what we have just described Christmas? If one were to approach the average person walking on the street and ask him or her. What does Christ- mas mean to you? , one of the for- mer descriptions of Christmas would probably be the response. And what is this Christmas spirit? Is this something that we feel only between the months of November and January? For many the answer would be yes. Christmas has become so commercialized, cor- rupted, and distorted that there is blindness to the true meaning. The true meaning of Christmas does not contain any of the above mentioned ideas. No. Christmas is Howard not Christmas shopping, nor is it the Christmas tree, nor is it even Santa Claus. The true meaning of Christmas is found within the name itself namely, the person of Christ. The fact that God invaded human history as a man is the true meaning of Christmas. Is this shocking? It shouldn ' t be. What is shocking is that those who do not believe in Christ celebrate this holiday. This only demon- strates how degraded the true meaning of Christmas has become. Christmas has ceased to maintain its true meaning but has become a day of mockery. No, my friend, Christmas is not a commercial, fes- tive thing at all. It is Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World, who step- ped out of eternity and was born as a baby in Bethlehem. And there is even more than that. The first Christmas tree was not tri- angular in shape but crossed. And it did not have as its first ornaments, lights and shiny balls, but the blood of a great Savior. You see, this is Christmas. It is the celebration of Christ. Unfortunately for many, the true meaning has been lost amidst the concoctions of man ' s own mind and desires.

Dissolving a rather large number of LSU chemistry students and their professors into a new chemis- try complex yields a confused reac- tion. This past semester, the chemistry department transferred its head- quarters from Coates Laboratory to a new structure on South Stadium Drive. Though the move was in progress at a rather inopportune time (between Thanksgiving and finals) it proceeded relatively smoothly and according to plan. As may have been expected, a few minor prob- lems did arise; a conglomeration of keys were left by the builders to be matched to respective doors, and a lab ventilating system made a noise louder than the accepted level of human tolerance. Each professor was responsible for his own transition and could be seen between classes carrying boxes of old papers or leading students from the old quarters to the new.

Once the move had been com- pleted, and everyone realized a move had been made, the new structure began to show its advan- tages over Coates, the former chem- istn, hall. Coates has served its purpose well since it opened in 1924. Its sturdy walls have withstood many Ford heating systems failed it became time for a change. The computer science depart- ment will inherit the old building, and vacant rooms will be utilized as office space. The new complex actually con- sists of two buildings. Each is seven stories high. One accommodates all the lecture classes and the chemis- try library. The other contains all the laboratories and offices. This design minimizes electrical costs and eliminates some of the plum- bing problems that were encoun- tered in Coates. The top four floors of the lab building are devoted mainly to graduate work and office space. The department on the whole is quite pleased with its new aquisi- tion. One of the professors stated, This building is probably the best equipped chemistry department of any university in the South. He may be right. The new chem- istry complex definitely does offer the space and facilities required to keep pace with LSD ' s growing needs. Julia Martinusen Ford Fan! Ga macho Student Life 55 Ford At the suggestion of the Department of Landscape Architecture, a student designed the initial plan for the recon- struction of the Quadrangle. Henslee, Thompson and Cox Land- scape Architects Site Planners was contracted to execute a workable plan. The resulting blueprint consisted of construction in three phases. Phase I, which has been completed, was constructed at $88,000 plus fees, which totaled a little under $100,000. Phases II and III are estimated to cost around the same, $100,000 each, by the time they can be afforded. Phase II will consist mainly of addi- tional walks through the next third of the present Quadrangle. It has been pro- posed by the agency that a sculpture be placed on axis with the fountain on the walk which will run through the quad- rangle from the library. The agency has proposed that this sculpture be a project of the Fine Arts Department. Phase III will consist of another plaza covering the last third of the Quadrangle. When the second and third phases will be completed is indefinite, due mainly to lack of funds. Depending on our financial situation, the second and third phases may be executed jointly rather than waiting a period of time between the construc- tions.

The good thing about going to the Chapel is that you are not going to a church made up of just brick and mortar but of people. The people make up the bricks while God makes up the mortar that holds them together. The Chapel first started in the summer of ' 72 at the home of Ken McKay. Don Tabb was leading a Bible study then, and the people felt led to make the Bible study into a Zietz Kennison 58 Student Life Kennison The Chapel church with Don as the pastor. The church consisted of about thirty people who met at the McKay ' s home at that time. From there the church had many different loca- tions. They met at the Jerry Lewis Cinema for a while, and then they met at the Music Building for a while after that. Next the church moved to the Law Building, then back to the Music Building, then back to the Law Building, and then finally arrived at a temporary place in the Union Theater. From there the church moved into the Chapel on Dalrymple where it now is. On September 19. Cliff Barrows, who leads music for the Billy Gra- ham Crusades, gave the message for Kennison the day of dedication. If you ever get a chance, drop by the Chapel on a Sunday. Not only will you meet some really nice people, but you will also have a chance to be intro- duced to a really great Savior - Jesus. by Mark LaCour Kennison Student Life 59 Rehstock Camacho 60 Student Life Mann Sometimes you have to get away from it all.

In the South, it is a weekly, and sometimes daily, visitor. The misty, muggy drops that either fall gently and car- ess your hair and cheeks depending on who you are and where you hap- pen to be. To wake up on a lazy Saturday mid-morning and hear the swish- ing, almost singing sound of rain is a blessing, pure and simple. One sinks back into the soft, warm pro- tection of bed and lets the rain hum him softly back to sleep -- lulling, soothing, sweet, sweet rain! But to hear an alarm clock buzz rudely in one ' s ear, to stumble onto a hard floor, the mind already recoiling in half-awake revolt against a day full of tests, droning lectures, part-time jobs, and the endless details of a daily routine - and to hear what? Rain. Rain! It will cause an instant shock of full awareness of what ' s ahead: wet shoes and pant legs (for what decent, self-respecting person wears galoshes anymore?); hair that is Camacho 64 Student Life sticky wet. clammy, and full of snarls and bushiness; mud: damp books: clinging clothes; sticky skin - rain! Whether one is blessed with an umbrella or not makes little dif- ference. Rain ' s subtle fingers pry into the most protected places. Of course, you can always aban- don yourself to the celebration of the event. There is an odd libera- tion felt in kicking your shoes off, pulling on shorts, and running head-long into the new world that rain has created. The grass you know as dry and warm is now slick and cool to the touch. Trees which are usually brown and stiff and stern seem to soften, glistening, their leaves swishing a soft dance to the rain. Lakes receive the new additions with soft plopping mur- murs of welcome, cats and dogs retreat respectfully. And no matter how old you may happen to be, you are a child again, a visitor on a strange and wonderful planet, a guest made special by your very presence. If you listen hard enough.

Steve Williamson Student Life 67 CLW C Why Is Everyone So Rayner Unnecessary fear and ignorance could have been one of the major deterrents in the success of the United States ' largest attempt to immunize over 200 million people against the controversial swine flu. Officially designated as A New Jersey 76 (Hsw Inl), a swine-like virus similar to the strain estimated to have killed over 20 million peo- ple throughout the world in 1918, showed up through 12 cases in Fort Dix, N.J., last year causing a national alert. Today, approximately 80% of people over age 50 have some swine-like virus antibodies in their bloodstreams. This suggests to doc- tors that swine viruses were proba- bly widespread, possibly even up til around 1930. It must be remembered however that vaccines and antibiotics were not available in 1918 and could be one reason why so many people died, including around a half a mil- lion or more in the United States. If all of this is true, then why is every- one so upset? The problem is, doctors don ' t really know what could happen. Every ten years or so, influenza viruses change incredibly such as epidemics from the Asian flu in 1957 and Hong Kong flu in 1968. When this occurs, most people don ' t have proper immunities, and epidemics result. We are getting closer to the end of that 10-year period, so this is probably why doc- tors are worrying about the flu so much these days. Influenza viruses are of two main types A and B viruses. A-Viruses are more severe and frequent. Swine viruses are type A and seem to spread faster, giving pneumonia more easily than other common strains of influenza. Doctors fear the antibodies most of us have can- not fight swine flu well. So when fear skyrocketed from the uncertainty of what could really happen, the U.S. Federal Govern- ment spent about $135 million to innoculate over 200 million of its inhabitants. Sounds great! Every- one would go like all good Ameri- cans did in the past when the coun- try faced a crisis and fight swine flu by getting the shot so no one would ever get flu again like so many peo- ple believed. . .right? WRONG!! Actual response to the program was much lower than expected. The uneducated and minorities throughout the nation had not gone for reasons that they might catch the flu and die or something. The vaccine contains killed flu viruses that stimulate antibody production. Mild fevers may occur, but any- thing more serious is highly unlikely. More than 3,500 people were innoculated at LSU last fall. No serious reactions were reported. Although a person should have proper protection against swine flu Rayner 68 Student Life Upset? after his shot, he is still susceptible to other common strains of influ- enza which are just as capable of making anyone very sick. Doctors urged persons not to ignore other flu shots since more cases of other flus might appear through neglect of normal precautions they usually took. Many feared the method shots were administered through the hydraulic gun used in massive inno- culations. This was another factor preventing large turnouts for the free shots. The fear was unneces- sary since an innoculator gun is usually less painful than a needle. Serum enters arm muscles through a tiny stream created by 500 pounds per square inch of hydraulic pressure. Most reactions from people who experienced the gun favored it over the needle since it tickled or didn ' t sting as much. There were one or two masochists in the crowd however, who said they preferred seeing needles go into their arms! Therefore, much opposition to the entire program was probably from psychological fears that hurt people rather than helped them. The only really good type of fear generated was the fear of catching flu by not getting vaccinated. Most went on their own decisions to be vaccinated except for some who said they needed that final bit of golden persuasion - - Mother made me do it. - Mark Rayner I fc 1 1 .J rt r - 2s- Mr. Arthur Goulas, administra- tor of the Student Health Service was adamant about calling it the Student Health Service and not the Infirmary. It ' s no longer an Infir- mary since it doesn ' t have any beds. Besides, said Mr. Goulas, Infir- mary sounds too negative. By removing the beds and chang- ing from an Infirmary to a Student Health Service, Mr. Goulas hoped to solve one of the Service ' s major problems; a lack of space. In spite of this step, the space problem has been aggravated in recent months. But relief is in sight in the near future. Academic counseling, which has been occupying the second floor of the building, will soon move into the main University offices. This means that the Health Service will be able to house its own counseling services on either the first or the second floor. This will include new office space for BASIC, which is not part of the Health Service but is one of the most important services offered in association with it. BASIC is often patronized by married students, and married stu- dents have been making greater demands on the Health Service recently. Married students have requested that day-care and pedia- tric care services be provided by the Health Service. Mr. Goulas said Students: Oct. 11, 1974 ' 8 .00 dwry Zietz that a day-care center is probably beyond the range of the Health Service. A Pediatric Service would be a greater possibility. This still presents a problem as the Health Service has no pediatrician on its staff. A ' Well Baby Clinic ' meeting once or twice a week would be the most comprehensive care that the Health Service could provide. Since babies don ' t get sick on such a con- venient schedule, a full-time pedia- tric service may be established at Earl K. Long Hospital in associa- tion with sick children. Married students as well as oth- ers recently noticed that they had to pay higher fees for the Student Health Service. An increase of $15 for the spring and fall semesters and $8 for the summer was begun September 1976. Mr. Goulas said that these fees will help to keep the Camacho 70 Student Life Caraacho - : : : --. . .- Camacho Health Service in the black. The Service dues collect about $200.000 annually in self-generated funds, he said, but this is not enough to keep up with the increasing demands being made on the Health Service. Mr. Goulas said he hopes students would be tolerant of the increases since they are necessary to maintain the level of low-cost health care that we now enjoy. In all. the Health Service seems to be doing a good job in spite of its problems. Thousands of students come every semester from all over the country with no regular doctor, and the Health Service must some- how keep them healthy.

Time was when High- land Road bars were where every- body went to blow it off. How things have changed. There is another sort of bar (or saloon) crop- ping up. Pretty carpet (even on the walls), ear opening electronics, and not-too-expensive (or strong) drinks. There is some sort of special happening most every night at these places. Quarter a beer, two for one, dollar shot with free beer chaser for the drinking man, and ladies night (with a limited supply of ladies, of course). Sounds like fun, right? But what else do you do at the saloon? Well, there ' s pinball or pool if you want to wait four or five games to play it. Most people however just stand Rayner around or visit, usually with the group they came with. Guys watch the girls and wait for an opportune moment to move in. This moment is only a fleeting hope in his mind, for the putdown is inevi- table. Pity. It seems that these places are here for people to meet and party with other people. The saloon, how- ever, tends to defeat its own pur- pose. The atmosphere produced here appears to make people act (cool, or whatever). But someday LSU will see the return of the bar. People getting loose and places growing lively. Maybe when the new carpet wears out? Or when the Phase Linears are replaced by Jukeboxes? David J. Cole Rayner The author seeking inspiration.

Students Favor Classroom Tyrant Eddie Bohner My being chosen as favorite professor is a credit to the students. It shows they are willing to over- look my bad points and remember the good ones because they want to learn. That is what Edgar G. Bohner, Jr. this year ' s favorite professor believes the honor means. Camacho 76 ilillr Eddie Bohner, an instructor in the school of journalism, teaches beginning news reporting and newspaper layout, an advanced course. All journalism students are required to take the news reporting course and approximately half the students in Bohner ' s classes end up dropping it. Why the large drop rate? Bohner believes that the course is a clearing house for those students who haven ' t got what it takes for jour- nalism or don ' t want what it offers. In addition, Bohner requires much from his students, sometimes too much for those students not genu- inely interested in journalism. I am a tyrant in the classroom, says Bohner. I am a demanding person because the extent to which I demand is the extent to which they (his students) come through. It is also the consensus of the stu- dents that Bohner is a tyrant but only in the classroom and only because he wants his students to learn. As one journalism major who weathered Bohner ' s class put it, Mr. Bohner intimidates the hell out of you in the classroom, but then added that he did so because Jk- he was a person who cared about students and was concerned enough to make them learn the material. Bohner says that he is distressed with education today. He believes education is too visual and that stu- dents have it entirely loo easy and are not forced to learn. He is trying to help alleviate those problems. Bohner began his teaching career in journalism somewhat acciden- tally. During his college years at Northwestern University in Illinois and Syracuse University, he studied languages. Not the usual one or two. but five: Greek. Latin. Span- ish. French, and Russian. Uater he came to LSU and received a B.A. in journalism. After graduating. Boh- nsr took a teaching job at a high school in New Orleans. Upon deciding to return to USU for his master ' s degree, a student instruc- tor job came up. It was in that way that Eddie Bohner began teaching here. After completion of his mas- ter ' s degree, he continued as an instructor of journalism. Eddie Bohner enjoys watching things grow. That is why he enjo s teachms. He watches the students grow as students and as people. He teaches them that they must work for what they get. He also says that his students show a certain warmth to which he can relate. It is sad that this is Bohner ' s last year to be teaching at LSU. He has resigned from his position of instructor. After all his years of teaching here, he has remained an instructor perhaps because he would rather spend his time helping students than researching for a Ph.D. degree. Edgar Bohner will be remem- bered for many years to come at Camacho LSU. Students lucky enough to have been taught by him will look back and appreciate the fact he cared enough to make them work until the material was learned, no matter how many hours it involved. It will be the misfortune of the university to lose Bohner. His con- tributions to the students and uni- versity as a whole have been many. Eddie Bohner cares about his stu- dents, maybe even more than him- self. Perhaps this is why he is so suc- cessful a teacher. by Sarah Schexnayder Rayner cademics 77 Boyd Professors T Philip W.

In discussing LSU students he said, There is a tendency for the student to become more concerned with vocational studies and less concerned with a liberal arts educa- tion this is most unfortunate for the student and society. Students here at LSU get caught up in the nitty-gritty business of day-to-day survival. I am confident that in future years, the student, in reflection back to his LSU days, will see it as the most exciting time in his life. I am confident. Webster Harrison James W. Reddoch, vice-chan- cellor for student affairs and profes- sor of marketing and management, has seen LSU student enrollment increase from 6,000 in 1970 to 25,000 in 1977. In addition to a corresponding growth in physical facilities, he has noticed an equally significant atti- tudinal change since his arrival in 1950 as an instructor and candidate for a doctoral degree in business administration. In the early 1960 ' s, Reveille arti- cles and SGA President speeches criticized the University for failure to build more dormitories. In recent years, articles and speeches have been critical of the administration because it did build new dormito- n nes. Vice-Chancellor Reddoch feels that exposure to a vast variety of ideas, thoughts, beliefs and truths is what education is all about. LSU is one of the most complex organizations of higher learning in the Southern Association, which is composed of several schools in the southern states and Mexico. LSU is a land grant college as well as a state university with a wide variety of extracurricular opportunities and rich and varied curricula. It is a smorgasbord of both informal and formal educa- tional opportunities. In 25 years, I have seen peaks and valleys of general student atti- tudes. In the complacent fifties, stu- dents were career oriented and attended school to get a degree to provide an entree into their chosen profession. They had a great per- sonal motivation for achievement. I detect in the last four or five years a swing back to that personal motivation. Students ' desire to do their very best is more common now than in the 1960 ' s. The LSU Code of Student Con- duct, in effect since the 1940 ' s has seen real trends in attitudes. In the 1950 ' s, student members were extremely harsh on fellow students who were found guilty of cheating and other violations. In the 1960 ' s, a large number were reluctant to find a student guilty, much less assess a penalty. The last few years have seen greater maturity of students in deal- ing with approaches to student dis- cipline. Today, individual right of a fair trial is important, but Code of Student Conduct members vote their conscience as to guilt or inno- cence. There is an honest effort to assist in arriving at a reasonable sanction for punishment if a stu- dent is found guilty. I believe the cream of the crop of the young people of Louisiana has been in the LSU student body over the years. - Mary Louise Carstens 80 Academics Paul W. Murrill Ca macho James W. Reddoch Camacho 81 Rayner Rayner Rayner Meredith 82 Academics Several rather industrious stu- dents found time for class. When they did. they often found them- selves in other than the standard classroom lecture setting. LSU pro- vided opportunities to learn skills ranging from music and the arts to television production to horseshoe- ing. All in all, for $219, it wasn ' t a bad deal. Ford Ford Rayner Academics 83 Camacho Camacho R BERT L. HIMES Ford Camacho Camacho ' Ford Ford Camacho Ford 85 Grad Students Camacho Legends, myths, and tall tales abound on the LSU campus. Fra- ternal and organizational initiates suggestively hint of the bizarre pos- sibilities to the uninitiated. Coeds fall to midnight lines woven by inventive and silver-tongued upper- classmen. Football enthusiasts replay the legendary Halloween run and winning touchdowns occur dramatically later in the final quar- ter with each retelling. In such an environment it is not surprising that the graduate school myth pervades the university com- munity. Undergraduates rarely communicate with graduates and, thus, aid the creation of the class system. Graduate students are seen scur- rying between Himes and Stubbs with monstrous research computer programs or found buried under an avalanche of texts, periodicals, and reference books in the library. Some graduate students teach and many underclassmen believe that they ruthlessly announce all exami- nations for the Mondays following THE weekends. (One should realize that the graduate student ' s announcements are not without insight. Why should he correct the exams on THE weekend?) Legends say the graduate school encourages its students to seek knowledge and pursue the higher academic ideals. Professors discuss the weightier matters of academi- cism with their graduate followers. The professor ' s door is never closed to the seeking graduate student. Graduate students, according to legend, discuss the tangent recipro- cals of the most advanced theories instead of football. Coffee con- sumption is rumored to equal the undergraduate alcoholic intake. Ford 86 Academics Ford Graduate students know the sober- ing realities of the early morning hours while others of the university community recall only hazy remembrances. Upon achievement of their degrees, graduate students become professors, learned consultants, or the wizards of the financial commu- nity. The more intelligent find fed- eral funding to support their accus- tomed professional student lifes- tyles and never do enter the labor market. Myths die neither easily nor gracefully. The graduate student myth is no exception. In the best investigative style, the GUMBO learned the following topics are required of graduate students. These topics, though required, must be pursued on a graduate student ' s own time: - How to balance consultant work against course preparation. - How to establish Catch 22 office hours. - How to publish rewrites of grad- uate research papers. - Explanations guaranteed to con- fuse undergraduates in the aca- demic environment made simple. - Researching the Library while seeking a Past Time. Legends inspire chants, songs, or poetry. An ancient manuscript recently discovered has been inter- preted by a professional student for the GUMBO. Alas and alack Woe is me!

Whether it be in the formal academic presenta- tions or brief comments over a TGIF afternoon beer, any exchange of ideas, beliefs, or con- cepts constitutes learning with the resultant creation or modification of the mind ' s perception. Grades may or may not reflect academic ability or achievement. The number of ' weekend dates ' or organizational associations rarely measure accurately an individual ' s desirability or worth. The outer manifestations belie the deeper, inner quests for definition, purpose, or meaning. While not all students openly admit their inner doubts, many stu- dents pursue answers to these haunting questions of worth. The seekers discover diverse paths promising soothing solutions to the troubled soul. Drugs, cults, per- sonal and religious philosophies vie with varied enticements or prom- ises. Experimentation becomes the password and observers carefully follow the exploits of those that have fully committed themselves to Rayner one path or to another. Is there a God? Must one reject the world? Must one surrender per- sonality? Was Jesus a simple teacher? Or, was the Nazarene car- penter truly the Son of God? On any given day, the student may find an evangelist spewing his truth outside the Union. Music from the shaven followers of Krishna may catch the student ' s ear. Followers of other sects pass out free flowers for a smile and then ask for a moment of time and a dime.

A young, well-dressed Black Muslim quietly passes his tracts to students explaining why the reader must surrender to his God. Are these movements simply psy- chological crutches needed by soci- ety for the orderly flow of business or are they indeed human explana- tions of a divine and spiritual world known but to the soul and unex- plainable by the mind? Each must answer the question individually. Free Speech Alley entertained debates for those that have answered while the uncommitted listened. Quieter, though not smaller, groups of students meet and discuss their own beliefs. Christ. Catholic Student Center. Chi Alpha, and others sponsored retreats or ' discovery ' weekends. The student ' s sojourn through the university could not be completed without contact or consideration to the religious. Congressional action restrains the leaching or practice of religion in the classroom. However, religion permeates the entire fabric of soci- ety. Ask any student of sociology. philosophy, or science. The most adamant denier of a God admits to the Biblical influence of Western Civilization. The adamancy of the denial may be proof sufficient. Aca- demics may be measured, however accurately, by grades and degrees. Social popularity may be measured, however poorly, through ' dates ' and organizational offices. How- ever, as one professor remarked prior to the beginning of his fresh- man class. Ninety-five percent of your education will come outside this or any other classroom despite what we professors would prefer to believe. I urge you all to make the most of the opportunities afford- ed. Sunday, for many LSU students, was not only a day for throwing frisbees. studying texts, or sleeping off a previous night ' s hangover. Students pursue truth in many ways. Students learn in varied fash- ions. It is this blend that makes the individualistic collectivity of the university environment unique. It may also be. for those who believe in Christ, the highlighting truth of life. - Roger Dennis Ravner Ra ner Academics 89 Law School Trying to write about the Law School is akin to describing the mating habits of a wallya bear - you have to see it to believe it. The average student does not realize what lurks behind the stained glass doors of the LSU Law School. Adjacent to the regular campus it is nonetheless light years away. To observe the strange species of animal known as a law student one has two options: either to bravely venture into its native area or wait it out in the Tiger Lair. For the more adventurous, a brief safari into the darkened corri- dors of the Law School is the only way to go. Approaching it from Highland Road, one may enter through a side door. Once inside, it takes several seconds for one ' s eyes to adjust to the gloomy interior enough to observe its indigenous inhabitants. There are no windows in this building, as these creatures avoid daylight. They are essentially night creatures, much like the vam- pire bat. A few minutes inside will provide a sufficient glimpse of the multitudinous varieties. There is of course the Studious One. This vari- ety sports a tie and is armed with a brief case in which it carries all knowledge, much as a kangaroo uses its pouch. It is prone to quick movements and often collides with others as its eyes are perpetually focused on the ground immediately in front of it. Another variety is the Good Ole Law Student. These tend to stay in groups of at least three. The careful observer will notice that they tend to form a close circle, to which only certain others are admitted. Their motions consist of shuffling feet, muttering, and occasionally glanc- ing up to scan the horizon. On the approach of one of the rulers of the jungle (a professor) they straighten up noticeably and their vacuous expressions are momentarily replaced by studied earnestness. On the outskirts of this group are to be found the females of the spec- ies. Affectionately known as Silly Women, these creatures are not included in the circle and are rarely taken seriously. Their behavior gen- erally consists of multiple leg cross- ings, smiles and veiled glances. Ford This routine is maintained until the ringing of the bell. The Law School bell is another unique and peculiar phenomenom. On first hearing, it sounds as if the area has been invaded by a horde of Avon Ladies. The truly diligent investigator of this species will be curious to observe the groups interaction with other varieties of Student. This is easily accomplished by hiding one- self in the Union Tiger Lair. Between 1 1 :30 and 1:00 is the gen- eral feeding time. Small advance groups will invade the area, soon followed by the full herd. There are three distinctive behavioral patterns readily observable: they always sit on the big side of the cafeteria (for some reason these creatures do not shun the light while feeding), they always sit together, perhaps for pro- tection, and the topic always con- sists of Law . Law School. Law Pro- fessors, and Law Students. Since these creatures must be seen to be believed, it is recom- mended that the curious follow the steps outlined above. There is no reason to fear these creatures for the are amiable and will attack only when given just cause. by Carol Scherich Ford The author in her natural habitat.

The client is diag- nosed and appropriate individual- ized treatment is planned. Under the supervision of the clin- ical staff, students design and implement the remedial program. These students, majors in Speech who are concentrating in Speech Pathology and Audiology, have appropriate prerequisite training before being allowed to work in the real-world atmosphere of the Clinic. The result of all this is a total immersion in the program. Students find a commitment, long hours, the close companionship of partners, and a challenge to develop the knowledge and skills required to assist communicatively handicap- ped children and adults toward self fulfillment. This is the Speech and Hearing Program. by Kerri Simpson 92 Academics 1 1 Hearing Clinic All photos by Rayner Academics 93 Experiment Station Researches Long Long Long Long 94 Academics Sugar Cane Louisiana produces about half of the cane sugar manufactured in the continental United States with an estimsted 325.000 acres. Ideal growing conditions are 70 temperatures and about 10 inches of rainfall during the peak growing period in the months of June, July and August. Louisiana is as far north as sugar cane will grow. The LSU Agricultural Experi- ment Sugar Station in St. Gabriel has 210 acres devoted to sugar cane research. 85 actually planted. Headed by Dr. Mike J. Giamalva. LSU professor of plant pathology, the Experiment Station is conduct- ing research on the plant ' s life, from seed to harvest. Eleven people are employed full and part time. Commercial farmers do not plant sugar cane from seed, but from see- dlings which the Sugar Station and the U.S. Department of Agriculture grow. Most farmers plant five varie- ties of cane: the Experiment Station has about 300. Only three locations in the coun- try have breeding programs for sugar cane: Canal Point, Florida: Houma. Louisiana: and the LSU station. Cane stalks are forced to flower by placing them in a con- trolled-light darkVoom. Flowering plants are then bred and the seeds collected. It takes 1 1 years before a new variety is released to farmers. The Sugar Station grows about 140.000 seedlings annually. After four to five years and about 700.000 see- dlings, a new variety may be pro- duced. LSU Associate Professor of Plant Pathology Elias D. Paliatseas is an authority on the actual breeding of sugar cane. Before the actual breed- ing, the variety of cane is studied for about ten years to determine its characteristics. A plant which is found to be especially cold resistant may be cross-bred with one which is disease resistant, hoping to develop one which is resistant to both. Dr. Paliatseas has brought back a variety of cane from Turkistan which is more resistant to cold weather than Louisiana ' s commer- cial crop. The plant survived recent temperatures of 21 when most commercial types cannot survive below 27. This variety could prove beneficial to commercial growers who suffered a substantial loss this season due to freezing weather. Dr. Giamalva ' s research includes study to increase insect resistance and reduce susceptability to mosaic and ratoon stunting disease, the Long predominant sugar cane diseases in Louisiana. Tests conducted include determination of sucrose content of the varieties of cane and genetic studies to select those varieties with the most ideal characteristics. by Vivian Long Academics 95 Zietz The LSU Library Ford Ford Ford 96 Packer Camacho The library is a place for study and research. Well, sometimes. A lot of the time, the library is a place for other things picking up Rev- eilles, putting down coke cups, or marking time until class begins. Of course there are those unusual peo- ple like Dick Cavett who are really innovators when it comes to using a library ' s facilities. Few peo- ple arrange to have themselves locked up in a library (Yale ' s) after Camacho closing for the purpose of prowling around. That ' s one way to explore the facilities of a library. Another is by actually doing some library work, be it scholarly research or pursuing a private interest. And during working hours (it ' s easier to get in and out during this time) the LSU Library is a place for study and research. The LSU Library has three divi- sions, each one on a separate floor. The Humanities section possesses books covering subjects from archi- tecture, literature, music and phi- losophy to journalism, linguistics and fine arts. Downstairs in the basement resource materials for the disciplines of history, law, econom- ics, sociology and anthropology. Several special collections housed in this section are also available for the students ' use. All material per- taining to the applied and pure sci- ences and technology make up the Science division of LSU ' s library. Ford Academics 97 Ford The books, references and periodi- cals in this section encompass the fields of agriculture, engineering, naval and military science, home economics, zoology, physics, and mathematics. Of the applied and pure sciences, only chemistry is absent; and its library is located in a separate building. Each division designates a cer- tain amount of floor space for units of study carrels. Here students may, in relative seclusion, use the multi- tude of resources available in each division. Only at the end of the semester when finals approach, do these areas become unreasonably overcrowded. During the semester, provided the books are available, seminar topics can be explored, term papers researched and books read without much disturbance. It is in the day to day grind of the semester ' s work that the library ' s facilities are actually put to use. Whatever their particular en deavor is, many students will find each division collection of books, references and periodicals of inva- luable use. But in addition to the usual collections, newspapers and microfilm complications are all readily on hand. However, there are i . 7 , Mann other resource areas. For example, the Archives and Manuscript Divi- sion offers access to information concerning not only Louisiana but also the entire lower Mississippi Valley. By providing original source material, this extensive collection is invaluable to many research pro- jects in the social sciences. While the Archives and Manu- script division deals specifically with the Lower Mississippi Valley, Mann the Mcllhenny Room is compre- hensive in its scope. The collection itself is devoted to the discipline of natural history. In this capacity it offers to interested persons inform- ation including many rare books - from all over the world. The Mcllhenny Room maintains its own collection of rare books. But the Rare Book Room, found on the third floor, supports another expanding collection of precious books and manuscripts. These books and manuscripts are invalua- ble to some research, but they are not solely for scholarly use. An interested public may take advan- tage of the number of books kept on display in and around the library. Students, faculty members and visitors may also enjoy the displays in the Lincoln and Middleton rooms. The Lincoln Room contain- ing memorabilia of the slain presi- dent began with a substantial dona- tion from Judge W. L. Jones. Pho- tographs, portraits, and other pieces have since been added to this col- lection. The Middleton Room, ded- icated to Troy Middleton, is largely Mann Academics 99 GOOD MORNING, AMERICA SSSSSfRlSSKSssaiw t SONO LE QWHONl im irjuiui K OarfU tvltwu xna he I .fjftt i.p.ff Jn hibfctia ioi JI( .4 quinto ton tnlTib f to cncfln undu pa ljqu.i) e t-iriro ,gru quiMO opwno (orfdta : Et poia fuj nobili, K P.T! i fui Mlf 3 A pcKhc iog fulti fwat diuun. frwprt h. proJotiohHom.TaoiaitBwflimi : pnnuln ajtntutibiliegnli ' :U 5j]i iif, if kiiKtopenhc runid IK ! lnaiM.-Bt i J( : i tmunJo iil. itrttn .nroKwnt ipnnu. lo d- Among the many treasures in the Rare Book Room can be found the following: Top Center: A privately printed copy of Mein Kampf which belonged to Adolf Hitler.

A cartoon by Bill Maudlin and a twelve gauge over and under (a Christmas pres- ent Middleton received during the Battle of the Bulge) are just two of the items found in the Middleton Collection. Although the library manages to sustain many of its existing collec- tions and expand some areas, the lack of funds prevents the sort of development many people would like to see. Frustration besets a number of students and professors when they discover that some needed material just is not availa- ble. It is not that there are people who ignore the library ' s predica- ment. There are those who find it reprehensible and attempt to rem- edy the situation. But by and large, the kind of support they need - that the library needs cannot be found. And that ' s too bad. Cindy Hill Camacho Academics 101 Student Art Camacho Zietz 102 Academics Ford Zietz Zietz Academics 103 ' Speech Department Ford Camacho 104 Meredith Ford Each speech department in every college has its own flavor, its own style. This is due, of course, to the people involved within it: the undergraduate actors, the graduate assistants, the technical people, and the professors are the fabric of which the department ' s personality is composed. LSU ' s Speech depart- ment owes its warmth in part to the moon boots of Dr. Tanburg, the excessive, if not confusing, energy of Dr. Montilla. the Hedda Gabbler Lady Macbeth quasi-maternal sin- cere cosmic warmth of Dr. Doty and the cool, intelligent intensity of Dr. Harbin. Rounding out the administrative contribution of per- sonality is Dr. Braden. the depart- mental Aristophenes. Perhaps one would consider the LPG (Louisiana Players Guild) the crux of the department. It is in these productions that you get to meet, work with, love or hate fellow actors. It gives a chance for the direction class to attempt directing and for the players to attempt act- P M J If . . ing. It is here that friendships are formed, valuable lessons are taught and experience is gained. The directors always have their eyes open for new and promising talent, the actors for new and prom- ising roles. It starts with The Audi- tion, which usually occurs on the three longest days of the year, at which time the actors are plagued by attacks of anxiety, insecurity, emotional crises, nervousness, and acute pessimism. A call-back list is announced and the chosen few. have, what is viewed as, another chance to screw up. It ends with The Cast List. As an actor approaches The Cast List he tells himself he didn ' t get the role, didn ' t want the role and didn ' t have time for the play so that he won ' t be dis- appointed. If he is not cast, he is crushed. If he is cast, the rehearsals begin. Rehearsals are about 99% of a production, and usually six weeks long the time in which the actor is expected to live decently, no Camacho Camacho minor task, and get along like brothers and sisters with his fellow actors, an even greater task. It is at these rehearsals that peo- ple come to learn to like, to despise and to admire another person. This is done on two levels: first, as a per- son; secondly, and far less impor- tantly, as an actor. All the Ricks, Chris ' , Aimees, Joels. Wes ' , Nan- cys, Jills. Tims. Jimmys, Deenas, Carols, JoEllens. Steves, etc. con- tribute personalities, their talents, their own personal color toward the make up of the department ' s char- acter. Out of this culture springs the Outrageous Mr. J; sardines singing That Man of Mine : a four-nosed shrew and a tacky trollop. Perhaps one person summed it all up at a cast party when he looked around and said, You know, we ' re all Kens and Barbies in this world of Mattel. . . . You had to have been there.

A tragedy of our generation is the decline of adventure. Our emotions and imag- inations standardized by schools, media, and dollars, we ironically carry banners of libera- tion, soul, and mind expansion, while avoid- ing discovery of new life in our artistic and intellectual heritage and generating few good stories to tell our grandchildren. The failure of LSU is its complicity in this decline, reversible only by awaking and demanding more of fac- ulty, staff, and students, perhaps renewing mutual respect.

In Luke 2:52 we read And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. As Christ erew continuously in these four areas, we too should increase our knowledge, strengthen our physical bodies -- remembering that we are the temple of God and His representatives on earth. Christ also grew closer to God -- likewise we are to come to know God in a more personal relationship. And lastly. Christ ' s life, death, and resurrection revealed His love for mankind and offers a guide to our building bridges of love man to man. M time at LSU has been a time of learning of laughing and a time of loving. It is on step in the process of developing myself to be th e person best prepared to serve God and minister to His people. Gail Marie Pugh. Michael James Adee. Kittie Lo Cabin In an attempt to recapture my years at LSU, hundreds of memories flood my thoughts. The man hours in class, the professors, papers, and speeches delivered . . the organiza- tions, activities and meetings. I think of all that happens each day at LSU: football, gymnas- tics, tennis, concerts, plays, and just a walk across campus. I remember crazy freshman days. moving into the dorm, being confused, especially in Lockett Hall. I look at myself now . . . whew! what a change, what difference in those two persons. Still idealistic, but more realis- tic: less confused, but with direction: seeing graduation in sight. Growing, learning, expand- ing is exciting and painful. Knowledge not so much from books but from people. The over- riding memory is people, and how they plus experience molded me into the man God cre- ated and planned for me to be. (J Academics 121 k On May 21, L.S.U. will graduate its first class from the School of Veterinary Medicine. This is a momentous occasion for myself, the other 34 mem- bers of my class, our faculty, and the state of Loui- siana. For 3! 2 years, the class of ' 77 were the perennial seniors; the proverbial guinea pigs (perhaps an apt word for Vet. Med. students, but one does get so tired of it after 3 ' 2 years.) We struggled with a developing curriculum, cramped quarters, and classes scattered here and nigh across campus. ' Despite the adversities, we had a number of advantages: high professor student ratio; excellent equipment; an enthusiastic faculty; and an eager student body. As a result we will be one of the most educated and experienced graduating classes of any School of Vet. Med. in the country. My class, all La. residents, include the entire spectrum: coon-ass, to northern red-neck, to New Orleans yat. For 3 ! 2 years we rubbed elbows (both figuratively and literally) and greatly profited from the experience. Graduation of our class will benefit every citizen in La.; for whether we are destined to small or large animal practice, to research or public health related fields, our common goal is the prevention, control and eradication of diseases in both animal and man. I look forward to graduation with both anticipa- tion of an interesting and worthwhile career, and regret of leaving a progressive and intriguing (although sometimes nerve-racking) school. I am truly honored and privileged to have been a member of the first graduating class of the L.S.U. School of Vet. Med.

Kathleen Shannon Finley Zietz As I think back on my years at LSU something someone once told me comes to mind. Something which has made my years at LSU much more enjoyable than they might have been. We all have a tendency to say, I wish the time would hurry up and pass. Like wishing you could graduate and get it all over. But I was told never to wish any time away, no matter what was happening, because that was a part of your life that could never be replaced. When I ' m taking a final, writing a paper, or waiting for a grade I remember that. And the best advice I can give to anyone attending LSU is the same. Don ' t be in a hurry to graduate: just enjoy every minute of everything you do while here. Steven Hayes Smith Ford Teddy Ford Camacho Academics 123 Kevin Lawrence Harris, Sharon L. Butterworth Zietz How can I sum up four years at LSU? This is what I found myself asking when I sat down to write this. I could talk about the fun times - - sorority pledge pranks, football games, and picnics on the levee. But this was not serious enough, I thought. How about all of the knowledge gained in Himes Hall over the past four years? This was too serious. Extra- curricular activities? This was getting closer, but still did not quite sum it up. Then it hit me the people! The people with whom I have had all of those fun times; the people who have shared their knowledge with me; the people I have worked with on so many different activities and projects. It is through these people that I have learned learned about life, about our surroundings, about other people, an.d even about myself. I thank these people for sharing themselves with me over these past four years, because they are what it has all been about. -ancy ( Louise Kyle Albright, Danny Mark Strickland, Nancy Ann Brockway, Charles Allen David Zietz 124 Academics As home for three and a half years, LSU admonished, chided, praised, bullied, scolded and lauded me, treating me like a child when I was convinced I was an adult and like an adult when I was childish. After being folded, spindled, mutilated, and convinced I was no more than a number, I was graduated. The end result is positive: I grew up at LSU and can only thank the people who are LSU. In the end, these people graduated me, not as an educated person, but as a person who will always seek more knowledge and strive for arete.

Her former students include such well-known folks as Hubert H. Humphrey (who lived on Chimes Street when he was in Grad School here), Marguerite Piazza, Wes Gal- lagher, David Duke, and even Pis- tol Pete Maravich. LSU has likewise been fortunate in having had many notable schol- ars on her faculty. To name a few, Robert Perm Warren, T. Harry Wil- liams, Walker Percy. In this section, the Gumbo will spotlight several of LSU ' s former students and several of her current professors, with the hope of alerting students to the possibilities open to them, both in regard to the teachers whose courses they should not miss and in regard to their potential in becoming leaders in their chosen fields.

Among the many memorable incidents I have thought back on are meeting a delightful young woman named Cathy Small in Soci- ology class, and the famous day when Stormy was thrown in the lake. I never knew what happened to Stormy (other than the fact that she did not drown), but Cathy and I got to know one another pretty well. I changed her name from Small to Long and we ' ve been mar- ried now for twenty-nine years.

Cohen, associate professor of history, has seen many changes during his years at LSU, notably longer hair and more cas- ual clothing among students. Nev- ertheless, the attitude of the stu- dents, whom he describes as well- behaved, deviated little in his eyes. This mannerliness of students, com- bined with that of the faculty, is the most important thing at the univer- sity according to Dr. Cohen. In this vein, he contrasted placid LSU with tense Rutgers. One might wonder why there is a difference in student affability and Dr. Cohen presents two theories. The first concerns Southern culture: the second. Southern weather. It ' s too hot down here to demonstrate, he remarked. The New Jersey native, who received his Ph.D. from Yale, is in favor of an open admission policy at LSU. Every student and every person in the state qualified should come to the university, he stated. He is not, however, in favor of open degrees. On an individual basis. Dr. Cohen feels Dean Berg of Arts and Sciences is the most invaluable per- son on campus. Berg, according to Cohen, has brought many separate disciplines together in Arts and Sci- ences, an essential factor. Cohen has taught now at LSU for a decade. Hopefully, when another has passed he will still hold his complimentary views of stu- dents and faculty. Janet Heinmiller i brd Classes 133 A lot of water has gone down the Mississippi since my days at LSU as a freshman in 1912-13, but if you will make allowances if my imagi- nation gets the better of my mem- ory, here is what I have been able to dig out from the back of my head: I had won a scholarship to LSU from the Boys High School in New Orleans, worth $400, if I remember rightly, which was enough to pay for my tuition, room and board for one year! That was one of the chief reasons for my going to LSU instead of Tulane. The other was that I was hoping to get an appoint- ment to West Point, which, at age 16, I was then too young to enter. I thought that a year as a cadet in the ROTC at LSU would better pre- pare me for the rigors of plebe life at the Point. I went up to Baton Rouge by train in September 1912. I had never before been away from the vicinity of New Orleans where, as you know, the land is as flat as a pancake. So I got a thrill out of walking up the hill which to me was like a small mountain from the railway station in Baton Rouge to Main Street, carrying my suit- case all the way to the campus. There I was assigned to B Company and a room in the old pentagonal barracks which I was to share with Pierre Guitreaux, a good Cajun from a little place called French Settlement; a boy named Haynes; and another country boy whose name I can ' t remember. They didn ' t mind having a city slicker for a roommate and we got along fine. In fact, since there were only a few hundred boys and girls in our class we got to know most of them fairly well. The only hazing that I can remember occurred just once. All freshmen were required to run the gauntlet one night down a long hallway on an upper floor of the mess hall, while upper classmen, standing in the doorways on either side, whaled our behinds with their leather belts. It wasn ' t too bad, if you ran fast enough, except when some skunk used the buckle end of his belt. The Commandant of Cadets was Colonel Campbell B. Hodges, a native Louisianian West Pointer, who after a distinguished career in World War I, retired as a Major General and became President of LSU in 1941. Our military training consisted only of two or three hours a week of close-order drill which did little for a budding young mili- tary genius, but which did teach me some discipline, which I undoub- tedly needed. The main thing I remember about the military aspect of my time at LSU was our evening retreat formations in the central yard of the barracks. In the spring- time it seemed that all the chimney- swift swallows in the parish rallied above us each evening, flying faster and faster in great circles around the tops of the barracks chimneys until they suddenly disappeared down the chimneys, like water down a funnel. That beat any drill we had. I wonder if the swallows still put on their evening show? I played a little tennis and even did some early-morning running, long before jogging became fash- ionable. But I was too light for foot- ball or any of our few major sports. We had a good football team that year, captained, I think, by big curly-haired Tom Dutton. The only player I really knew was a freshman tackle named Vernon, who was said to be part Indian. He didn ' t scalp any opponents but did open big holes in their lines, particularly in the Tulane game which was played in New Orleans. We all went up to the city by train and had a gay time. I can ' t remember much about the game, or the score, except that we beat the hell out of Tulane! I have a good alibi for my poor memory which dates back to LSU. Once a week we had to attend so- called chapel exercises, held in the college chapel. They were not religious services though they opened with the Lord ' s prayer. After a few announcements by a faculty member, we occasionally had a visiting lecturer, who usually put me to sleep. One day, while lis- tening to an Indian philosopher, I was about to doze off when I heard him say that one of the most remarkable faculties of the human mind was its ability to forget. Boy! that woke me with a start. He went on to say that if we remembered everything that happened to us, day in and day out, throughout a life- time, our minds would become so clogged with trivia that we would never have room for any construc- tive thought. That made a lot of sense to me, and has remained my excuse for a faulty memory ever since. Which is why I can ' t remem- ber much about my year at LSU, except that I liked the spirit of the place and enjoyed my brief stay there. Yes, I did pass the entrance exams for West Point which I entered in the fall of 1913. I gradu- ated with the class of 1917, just as we entered World War I. J.

He is a creative, well-informed lec- turer who believes he receives most of his enthusiastic students through natural selection. If you teach advanced undergraduate classes and set up high standards there is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The ones who wouldn ' t do well run off; those who can do it don ' t go, he mused. Most of the wheat gets separated from the chaff before classes begin. Dr. Falk attributes this to word of mouth distribution between stu- dents prior to course-taking. On the subject of open admis- sion. Dr. Falk expressed the opin- ion that: The University has to sort out for itself who its clientele are. The biggest conflict, accord- ing to Dr. Falk, is between LSU being open and being seen as a top university: one may work against the other, at least so far as prestige goes. As far as the general attitude on campus. Dr. Falk remarked. It does seem to me that what we ' re into at the moment is a sort of 1950 ' s mentality. He gives as evi- dence the large number of students who voted for Gerald Ford and a less critical stance on things, citing trends in popular music. Disco music, he said, is just about the most mindless music you can have. It just sort of lulls you. Falk con- trasted this to student reactions during the Vietnam War. when stu- dents were more cynical and ques- tioning. Critical mentality is first of all. to look through the surface of things to see why they are as they are. Secondly, it is to see things rel- ative to their socio-historical con- tent, he said. Dr. Falk feels this all relates to statements by Chancellor Murrill at the 1976 convocation. Murrill raised the point that some people believe LSU should be a vocational training ground, which has never been the point of a good liberal arts school. He reflected on the fact that while job training becomes dated, being trained to think never becomes dated. Orientation of students toward simply preparing for a job is what Dr. Falk calls an intellectual malaise, not simply confined to LSU. Today, he said, students are so worried about who other people want them to be, that they Ford Ford don ' t take time to discover them- selves. Where that leads us to is not thinking about how things could be in any Utopian sense, because we are so caught up in the present.

It ' s cre- ator, assistant philosophy professor Kenneth Smith, is a unique man. Smith felt the individual draw- ings he was doing for science fiction and fantasy magazines were stag- nating; it was more challenging to create what he calls a world scheme, a mythical history. So Phantasmagoria was born, because Dr. Smith believes that the inter- action of words and art enriches both. One might wonder what Phantas- magoria and philosophy have in common. Smith sees a very direct correlation. Magazine fantasies. he sta ted, act as a way of thinking through values on a literary or psy- chological level. and according to him. anytime there is a question of assessing priorities between values there is a philosophical question. A Yale man. Dr. Smith is highly skeptical of the usurpations of academia. He has spoken fre- quently on the problems society faces when all culture is confined to the Universities. I ' m highly suspi- cious that the university ' s patron- age has a more deadening effect on the culture. The University speaks with a voice of authority. It is like having one ' s works canonized in a museum. Academia. however, according to Dr. Smith, pulls more and more into its realm. It ' s almost a joke. when a new area is discovered by academicians. he explained. In the last five to eight years, we ' re seeing science fiction appearing on so many curricula. In a way. the departments are starved for some- thing that will appeal to students. I can ' t convince myself that this is beneficial to the culture. His pessimism is caused by the belief that academia takes but does not reciprocate. He feels universi- ties do not share their discoveries, the departments being very ing- rown. Articles, he thinks which are read by faculty are published by those who are in one ' s own narrow field. This has a catastrophic effect on language and jargon, he added. Nevertheless. Dr. Smith sees col- legiate institutions as seldom com- mitting incest by frequently hir- ing their own. Universities gener- ally expect a better quality of aca- demics than they themselves pro- duce. he said wryly. Each feeds a less luminous institution. Dr. Smith ' s conception of an ideal classroom population con- tains several features. An important one is heterogeny as far as view- points and interests are concerned. He has found that too much agree- Zieu ment stifles discussion. Although he has not seen a great deal of dogma- tism, he has found that students do not express themselves often enough. Student indifference is even worse, and Smith feels that those who simply do not care could just as well be taking notes on the theory of plumbing. He appreciates initiative to assimilate new ideas with old. and. also thinks students ought to have been engaged in prior reflection on val- ues. This is an ongoing process as far as Smith is concerned. If you try to impress students with how perfect a system of thought is. that ' s a demoralizing approach because it tends to show that everything is fixed. Even the best philosophies are open to re-interpretation. bv Janet Heinmiller Classes 141 Ernest Angelo in 1956. I went to LSU in the Fall of 1952 after graduating from St. Paul ' s College High School in Covington. My selection of LSU was based on proximity to home, fees charged, a loyalty dating from my older sister ' s attendance there in the early 40 ' s and the fact that LSU was strong in Petroleum Engineering, my selected major, those reasons not being listed in order of importance. The Korean War was in full swing and the campus was over- loaded with freshmen, many of whom would admit to being there for the purpose of avoiding the draft. It was tragic that so many threw away their opportunity for an education by flunking out their first semester. Sigma Chi fraternity took me in and taught me some of the social graces and I made friendships that will last a lifetime. Even today I attend monthly alumni meetings and keep up the old contacts. I had settled on Petroleum Engi- neering without ever having seen an oil well or having known anyone who worked for an oil company. I reached this conclusion by studying a catalog of the various courses offered at LSU. This was before the time of high powered guidance and career counselors so I didn ' t know that was not the way to do it. A pro- fessor I couldn ' t communicate with in Analytical Geometry nearly con- vinced me I shouldn ' t have been in engineering of any kind. Benny Craft, Murray Hawkins, and others in the Petroleum Engi- neering School did an excellent job of preparing their students. My class graduated in a year of peak demand for engineers and all of us had job offers long before school was out. On one occasion, we were urged to attend interviews with one company just to be polite even though their job openings were in Midland, Texas. None of us had ever heard of Midland and we all were certain it must be the end of nowhere. I signed up with the Fort Worth Division of Gulf Oil and wound up fifty miles from Midland in Crane, Texas. I was transferred to Midland two years later where I have remained for 18 years. It is a great place to live and my chosen career as a petroleum engineer has turned out to be highly satisfying and rewarding. I have many fond memories of my four years at LSU. I ' m still a big fan to the extent that I never miss a nighttime LSU football game on WWL or KWKH. I ' ve even been known to keep a radio plugged into my ear at fashionable dinners and on other equally unsuitable occa- sions. If I were to have the opportu- nity to start over again, I would choose LSU without a moment ' s hesitation. Ernest Angelo Jr. Mr. Angelo was graduated from LSU in 1956 with a B.S. degree in petroleum engineering. Today he is a self-employed petroleum engineer, mayor of Midland, Texas, and Republican National Committeeman for Texas. Mayor Angelo today. 142 Classes WffW fFO O.

That enthusiasm is merely a reflection of the way Dr. Selbin feels about his profession, his subject matter, and his students. Dr. Selbin is a man interested in total environment, currently waging work on the building of a nuclear powef plant by Gulf States Utilities. He has traveled all over the world (Sweden. Switzerland and Italy just to name a few), to participate in various meetings and to exchange ideas. In fact the exchange of ideas is Ford what Dr. Selbin is all about. He delights in the constant change which occurs in his field, as well as the look of wonder on the face of a first year chemistry student who understands. For 20 years, Joel Selbin has taught chemistry at LSU. Anyone who still enjoys that task must be special. Even more astonishing is the fact that the gifted Dr. Selbin has never wanted to do anything else. It is obvious that he enjoys his chemistry classes. His students appreciate him, he teaches, he likes it, and it shows. - Ingrid Dave Ford Classes 147 Dr. Robert S. Reich is the head of the department of Landscape Architecture. He has been at LSU since 1941, weaving in and out on his trusty bicycle through thick and thin traffic. That same traffic is an issue on which he speaks quite frankly. They ' ve wrecked the whole center part of campus by the automobile circulation. The auto- mobile has taken over, he said irately. As he gazed out of his office window in the Huey Long Field House, he remarked, All that was green before they ruined it with cars and parking. Dr. Reich feels that the traffic problem is not unsolvable, how- ever. At present, the students have to park on the periphery. There is no reason why the faculty and staff can ' t park there too. He also has a suggestion for those who do not wish to walk so far, a parking garage for which they could pay rental. In fact, he stated, the site of Pete ' s Palace over there would have been of much greater use as a parking garage. The worst thing they ' ve done, Dr. Reich added, is to allow the athletic complex to grow in the middle of campus. He cited as an example the great difficulty one has arriving at night classes during bas- ketball games and other events. Regardless of this sort of poor building location. Dr. Reich feels that the campus does have many excellent aspects. Most of these are naturally aesthetic areas, such as the areas behind the Greek Theater, the old engineering quadrangle, and the Memorial Oak Grove which borders the Union. Also named was the Union building itself. The beauty of the Union developement is due largely to the fact that the landscape architect was employed from the outset. That was forethought on the part of John Hunter, while he was director of student affairs, he recalled. One of the newest and most con- troversial renovations on campus lately has been that of the central quadrangle, which Dr. Reich thinks has its good points. He remarked that the larger areas of pavement were needed to upgrade the use. It ' s going to improve circulation immensely, as people were having to walk in the mud, he said. Dr. Reich is a concerned ecolo- gist, working by daylight in his office to conserve energy. Previ- ously, he was involved in the suc- cessful crusade to save a number of trees at LSU including the great live oak behind the Field House. We fought for the tree and we saved it, he stated. Students who are familiar with the oak should be grateful. Students who are also familiar with Dr. Reich have another reason to be grateful. He is a man who believes the fun and joy of work- ing with students is the most redeeming feature of being on the LSU faculty. Although the University pres- ently has plans to close the Land- scape Architecture building all weekend and after 10 p.m. on week- days. Dr. Reich does not agree. They ' d be cutting out 50% of the time I spend working for the Uni- versity. Faculty can be more helpful outside that inside class, he said, In Landscape Architecture, stu- dents know the faculty is definitely concerned about them.

I had one of those God- awful crack-of-dawn classes in my schedule. Actually, it wasn ' t taught until 9:30. but naive freshmen that I was I didn ' t realized that there were such things as 7:30 get- togethers. (I have to call them get- togethers. How could anything at that hour of the morning be a class?) In any case, the time was not essential. What was essential was the teacher, an endearing professor who once chuckled when he described himself as being a wild man. don ' t you know. In reality, there was nothing wild about him. You couldn ' t hope to meet a more charming Southern gentleman than John Hazard Vjldman. As an English teacher, he ' s among the finest LSU has to offer. His classes are marked by a distinct air of informality. Each session begins with a ritual of sorts he likes to ping and pong through the roll before delving into the meat of the morning ' s topic. He never pre- pares an outline for a lecture, and if he brings any notes at all he uses them only as gentle reminders to himself. Though he admits it ' s a dreadful thing for a professor, Wildman really doesn ' t have a rigid rule for what a novel or a poem should be. Instead, he likes to ramble on about the setting, theme and characters. True, he rambles, but he does so with such style and flourish that one could hardly object. Most of the time, the class is with him one hundred percent. Every once in a while, however, they aren ' t. They cough, they scrape their feet -- not to be rude, don ' t you know -- and get that dreamy abstract look in their eyes as they stare out the window. Such times are rare, for Wildman is one of the more enjoyable profes- sors on campus. He teaches with a newborn freshness, approaching each class as a challenge, looking forward to that indefinable some- thing and going down and fulfilling it. Wildman once said that much of a person ' s ability depends on his energy. If such is the case. Wildman must surely have more energy than the sun, for his accomplishments are staggering. A quick flip through the Library ' s card catalog reveals that he ' s a much published author, having written novels, poetry, short stories and criticism. One of his sto- ries, Folly Fighting Death (the title refers to the emblem float in Mobile, Alabama ' s Mardi Gras parade), is so good that it has been published as far away as India and even Russia, where it appeared in a Russian translation. It amuses him to look at something he wrote and not be able to read it (the Russian Camacho looked liked hieroglyphics to me too). With his busy teaching schedule, it ' s a wonder that he has time to write. He works like the dickens all week long grading papers and pre- paring his lectures, but when the weekend comes he goes downtown and relaxes with a big breakfast before coming back to his office in Allen Hall. Then he sits down to write, and a completely different flavor comes over the office. With the enchantment of a small boy dis- covering another world in his imag- ination for the first time, Wildman lets his creative instincts flow onto paper. These same instincts illumine his classes. His ideas are clear, sound and basic, and his advice is good. Without being over pious, he says, if you want to grow, forget all the ' growing ' slop. People who always talk about ' becoming a per- son ' are the drabbest people I ' ve ever met. Wildman is never drab. He has a quality which tends to transcend the classroom and surpass a time or space dimension. When you sit in his class, it ' s not like being at a lec- ture at all it ' s more like sitting on the veranda of a stately old planta- tion, chatting and rocking and sip- ping a mint julep as the evening sun goes down.

Classes 153 One of the main assets of the psy- chology department of LSU is Dr. Edwin O. Timmons whose psychol- ogy of adjustment class has become somewhat of a legend since he first came to LSU in 1961. Dr. Timmons moved around quite a bit before he decided to make Baton Rouge his home. His history before 1961 includes school- ing at West Point Military Acad- emy in Virginia. He attended undergraduate school at Auburn University where he incidentally went through six majors before becoming interested in psychology. He attended graduate school at the University of Tennessee where his wife Mary taught English. Dr. Tim- mons worked in mental hospitals in Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. He also helped organize schools for retarded children in Gulfport and Tuscaloosa. After leaving Gulfport he came to Louisiana, age 33, and was employed with Tulane ' s Depart- ment of Psychology as assistant professor. Dr. Timmons overlooked numerous job offers of other uni- versities after receiving this offer Ford from LSU. The fact that LSU is a public school appealed to him, along with its location and under- graduate program. Since he has been teaching here Dr. Timmons says he can only recall being absent for one class. Dr. Timmons ' stu- dents invariably follow his example as his large classes always have exceptionally high attendance. In 1972, Dr. Timmons received the Favorite Professor award and last year he was named alumni pro- fessor. Dr. Timmons considers himself to be the resident diletante rather than having any specialized exper- tise but he is usually considered behavioralist psychologist. He says he considers psychology to be first a social science and second a help- ing profession. His main touch- stone or philosophy in advising psychology majors is that they should rely less on text book techni- que and should grasp the principles of behavior which, along with intui- tion, should prepare a psychologist to deal with most situations.

The phenomenon of Dr. Houk having a spare moment to blow a few notes is a wonder in itself. A Harvard graduate, he is involved in several research projects including a study of the electron structure of hallucinogenic drugs. Dr. Houk is hopeful that this pro- ject, along with accumulated knowledge through all experimen- tation, will lead to insight on schi- zophrenia, as the effects of halluci- nogens on the brain produce similar symptoms. Said Houk. If we were ever able to determine what struc- ture was required for hallucinogen- ics. we could precisely define the mechanism. Utilizing the aid of five post-doc- toral research associates, seven graduate students and three under- graduates in his various projects. Ca macho Dr. Houk is also researching chemi- cal reactions and measuring the energy of electrons. For the former he is employing molecular orbital calculations to develop a theoretical picture of the way substances inter- act; for the latter, photoelectron spectroscophy. The strong departmental empha- sis on research, as well as teaching, is one of the main reasons Dr. Houk came to LSU. Support, in the form of grants is helpful, as well as the affability of the faculty. Some departments are really empires where two or three guys are on the top and the rest are underlings, he stated. This one is very demo- cratic. In comparing teaching and research. Dr. Houk feel both are of equal importance. He admits never- theless to liking immediate gratifi- cation. I feel, in a way, research is creating something lasting that is relatively easy to see the results of. Teaching is harder to see the results of your efforts, he mused. The main reason for this, he feels, is the propensity of students toward dis- appearing after graduation, never Camacho to be heard from again. Dr. Houk ' s classes are primarily filled with pre-med aspirants. They do, however, vary from superstars to miserable, even though organic chemistry tends to weed out the unpromising ones. As an example he pointed out that of 400 students initially enrolled in the fall, 20 received A ' s, the bulk were given C ' s and Vi dropped. Dr. Houk believes that out of those who do not succeed in the pre-med curricu- lum, most would not be happy as doctors, and should not become embittered. He also believes that courses should be taught efficiently, and has helped in revolutionizing the chemistry department. Greater use of slides, large rescitation classes and small labs have been instituted partially through Dr. Houk ' s efforts. Perhaps because of efficiency, he has still found time to participate in the Great Chemistry Department Raquetball Tournament, and of course, to play his trumpet. Janet Heinmiller Classes 157 John A.

Strive for excellence, and the attributes and discipline acquired while doing so will be among the most beneficial assets of college life. New ideas will be con- ceived, patterns will be established, and attitudes will evolve that will stay with you for the rest of your lives. The poet Browning summed it up rather simply when he wrote, A man ' s reach should exceed his grasp, or what ' s a heaven for? Dissent seems to be the cry of the day on the campus, and off. As a point of beginning this may not be all bad. But don ' t let it become an end in itself. Life can ' t be a contin- uous rebellion, and we can ' t go through life always tearing down. So be for something. Let ' s build a more perfect system. Don ' t be con- tent with just tearing it apart. Let ' s rid ourselves of the stereo- types that dominate so much of our thinking these days -- the disposi- tion of people like me to address people like you as youth and of you perhaps to think of me as bus- iness. If we could come to see each other, not as generalized classifica- tions of humanity but as individu- als, each with his own talents, each with his own hopes, and both with so much in common, we would be taking a long step toward strength- ening in our country that sense of community that has been its great- est asset and that, should we lose it, would be its greatest loss. Don ' t be disappointed if things don ' t always go your way because on the road to greatness there are no certain victories. But you are not entering a cold, cruel, heartless world because no world can be cold, cruel, and heartless as long as you are in it and, forgive me, as long as people like your parents and myself are there to welcome you into it.

Few are the history- majors who have never taken one of his courses, and fewer still are those who have never tried. T. Ham Williams doesn ' t project himself as a famous man, and this attitude may be one of the reasons he has become one of this country ' s most eminent scholars. It is cer- tainly one of the reasons behind his popularity as a teacher. Instead of considering his students fortunate to be learning from him. he consid- ers himself fortunate to be sur- rounded by young people. I think old people need to be around young people --to keep from getting set in their ways. When asked about his approach to a teaching situation. Dr. Wil- liams said. I find it hard to tell other people how I do what I do. However, his description of a good teacher seems to be an adequate explanation. A good teacher has to know what he ' s talking about, know his material. He has to be enthusi- astic about his subject. You have to seem excited about it yourself, and you have to communicate that excitement. He added. Every good teacher is a frustrated ham actor. In a sense, he ' s performing ... He has a body of knowledge, and he has to perform his rendition of it. He has to make his subject int eresting and important. A good lecture contains information, humor and ideas. In other words. it has to inform, inspire and enter- tain. Campus surveys indicate that Dr. Williams ' lectures accomplish all three of these goals. He was asked if the accomplishment of these goals is particularly difficult with a sub- ject that many students purposely avoid. He responded by saying, I don ' t think it should be difficult. You ' re telling a story, and most people like to hear stories whether they ' re stories of people or a nation. Of himself as a teacher he stated. I like to teach . . . maybe it ' s an ego trip for me. I don ' t know. I always like to bring in individ- uals as much as I can. This treat- ment of people as individuals con- tributes to Dr. Williams ' effective- ness as a teacher and scholar. Per- haps his most well-known research project is a biography of Huey P. Long, the rights to which have been purchased by Warner Brothers for filming. Dr. Williams ' role in the making of the film is largely advi- sory. He has no formal control over the script but does have the right to make suggestions. Of the people directly involved in the film- ing. Dr. Williams said. They seem to be very intelligent, and I think they ' ll do a good job. Intelligence seems to be a key- factor in Dr. Williams ' assessment of people. He counts among his most interesting interviews such fig- ures as Seymour Weiss, former owner of the Roosevelt Hotel, Gov. Richard Leche. Sen. Russell Long and Gov. Long ' s wife. What makes an interesting interview, he stated, is personality, whether they ' re intelligent and know what I ' m doing. They also must be open and willing to talk. Of his research in general Dr. Williams said, I had so much fun interviewing politicians, I almost didn ' t want to quit the research. Upon finishing a history of U.S. wars. Dr. Williams hopes to begin a biography of Lyndon B. Johnson, somewhat a man like Huey Long a great politician. Mrs. Johnson has promised her cooperation, with the understanding that she has nothing to say about my con- clusions. When asked if he found Southern politicians more interest- ing in styles than Northern politi- cians he reminded. Politicians everywhere have a lot in common. Dr. Williams sees many changes happening in the South he has stud- ied for so long. Industrial and pop- ulation growths and reorganization of the region ' s social structure are among the good things he sees hap- pening in the future. He also stated. I hope the South doesn ' t become so homogenized it loses its regional identity ... I ' d like to see it retain its mannerisms-civility ... its appreciation of conversation. I don ' t want it to lose some of its qualities that I think are good. Whatever happens to T. Harry Williams ' region and country in the next few years, even if it is suddenly chic to be Southern. he will con- tinue his research and writing. More important to his students, he will continue to communicate his knowledge of and excitement about people to people. Jo Ellen Floyd Packer Classes 163 At one time, lectures were con- ducted with the strictest of motives in mind. From the lectures the stu- dent was to learn various statistics and facts to supplement materials found in books. It seems, dear friends, that this mode of education still holds true today. Some teachers still stand over us saying, Ve vill learn or elze, von ' t ve? Ah so it is we do indeed learn. But alas! There is hope for some of us for Jim Featherston, assist- ant professor of journalism, sees to that. His means of reaching that ultimate objective of educating col- lege students is somewhat deviant from the norm. On any given occasion, one can find this journalist-turned-professor relaying countless tales to his classes. Students actually listen. Now, unlike most lectures a Long teacher gives, the students don ' t have to regurgitate the stories come test time. Instead, students gain a real working-knowledge of the real world and relate pertinent inform- ation (which does include some list- ing of facts) they ' ll use in their future work and lives. Because Jim Featherston has been there, he knows what the hard grind of a working- world journalist is like. Featherston came to LSU seven years ago after a lifetime of newspa- per work. Some of his noteworthy accom- plishments include a Pulitzer Prize and his coverage of the Kennedy assassination and Jack Ruby trial. Featherston received the Pulitzer in 1953 for coverage of the after- math of a tornado which touched down in Vicksburg, Miss. His coverage of the Kennedy assassination led to his being ques- tioned by the Warren Commission for his questioning of eye-witness bystanders. Featherston says he came to LSU after a long newspaper career because he was tired. However, he adds, he had thought about teaching before he came to LSU. He enjoys teaching eth- ics best, he says, but does enjoy his public affairs reporting classes. Featherston is a graduate of South- ern Methodist University in Dallas and received his master ' s degree from East Texas State in Commerce, Texas. However, even though he is a grad- uate of SMU, he feels LSU is much better for journalism. What would Featherston ' s profes- sion be if he were to start over? He says he is a frustrated writer and if he had fulfilled his dreams, would be a novelist. He jokingly adds that at one time he thought he had a talent for writing. That ' s why I changed my major in college from history to journalism. I thought I could write, and besides, what could I do with a history degree? He states that he would like to have gone to law school. But for all his thoughts about what might have been, Featherston has had, in this writer ' s estimation at least, a most successful career. At 54, Featherston still maintains an aura of adventure about him. He is eager to learn and this eagerness ' rubs off - so to speak on his students. He encourages students to explore the world around them not only as journalists but as individuals in an interesting world. Isn ' t that, after all, the most important aspect of educa- tion to teach people to teach them- selves? - M. Jane Segers 164 Classes David B. Plaisance Patrick rL Planche inn J. Plattsmier Tommy C.

In Writ- er ' s Digest he reported, I spent all of my time over at the Dramatic Arts building getting involved in plays, painting scenery. I only majored in journal- ism because it was the easiest thing I could do. I made A ' s in everything except, ironically enough. Feature Writing. I never understood that. I thought I was writing terrific stuff, but they said: ' You don ' t have who. what, when and where in your leads. I ' d start a piece by describing the color of the sky that day. and they ' d say. ' What is this? Nobody ' ll read this. ' I went to school at Louisiana State University, which is a sausage factory. They turn out compe- tent people to write for the women ' s page of the Lake Charles Gazette, or whatever it is. They ' re not training people to come to New York and get into the Times. Hey. you girls, ever wonder what it ' d be like to be an Academy Award-winning actress married to Paul Newman? One LSU coed did just that. Joanne Woodward attended LSU from 1947- 49. She lived in Evangeline Dorm and belonged to Chi O. She was one of the most popular young ladies on campus, as evidenced by her frequent appearances in the Gumbos of the late ' 40 ' s. including a full page shot in the ' 49 issue (below). She left school to become an actress and won her Oscar in 1957 for The Three Faces of Eve. Her other films include Rachel. Rachel. The Long Hot Summer. The Effect of Gamma Rays . . . and Summer Wishes. Winter Dreams (right, with Martin Balsam). And yes. she wed Paul Newman in 1958 and has been happily married ever since. 169 Why did you choose history? Why teach? I like it! I just do. What more can you say? He just likes it. Dr. Karl Roider not only likes to teach, but also he has never wanted to do anything else. His high school yearbook ambition was to be a professor of history. So here he is, teaching history at LSU. Dr. Roider teaches freshman his- tory and a freshman honors semi- nar, but his area of concentration is Eastern Europe with special emphasis on Austria. He began with an interest in Germany, but later moved eastward. Even though his name is German, no search for ethnicity drove him into it. The only other reason, aside from liking it, was the post World War II con- cern with Germany. In sharing his enthusiasm with students, Dr. Roider emphasizes clarity and pertinent humor. In addition to studying and teaching history for the joy of it, he does it for what he calls the classic reasons: Meredith it ' s interesting, and studying the past helps us to a better under- standing of the present. When speaking of history, he is adamant that it is not the memorization .of irrelevant data, but the understand- ing of human nature in its particu- lars. No laws govern human nature; it ' s just infinite in its complexities. Karl Roider, a man doing just exactly what he wants to.

First and foremost, come the peo- ple. Both my wife, Gwen (who majored in opera at LSU) and I. made many friends in Louisiana, with whom we still stay in touch. There is no substitute for Southern charm and gentility. I think young people everywhere recognize the importance of human relationships better than older people do. In fact, it seems to me. that ' s what the pur- suit of happiness is all about --if you make others happy, you will be happy, too. Still you need a frame work of skills. I think it helps to start build- ing that framework as early as you can. In my case, while studying journalism at LSU, I began to con- tribute to various regional and national magazines. That helped me get a job on the Wall Street L. TO R. Gwen and Gene Bylinsky: Dr. Goldsmith, LSU Journalism Professor Journal after graduation from LSU. Decide early what you would like to do in life and then stick to it with all your might. Getting a job with an interesting organization right after you get out of school is like catching a train that is pulling out of the station you have to be run- ning to get on board. That ' s not encouragement to join the rat race. Quite the contrary, I think that with proper skills you can. to some extent, dictate your own terms and determine how your working life will develop. Unfortu- nately we see too many young peo- ple floundering today. This need not be so there is plenty of room for imaginative and capable young people in every field. A couple of years ago, we came to the LSU campus. Certainly it still retains a lot of its charm. One thing that saddened us was the disappear- ance --or almost total disappear- ance - - of Spanish moss. When I first arrived on the campus one night in the early 1950 ' s, it looked like a fairytale land. Now we can see some of that environmental damage. But we - - and our two children, Tanya and Gregory, were happy to see Mike the Tiger and the many bright youngsters on the cam- pus. Gene Bylinski Gene Bylinski is the associate edi- tor of Fortune magazine and author of The Innovation Millionaires. Gene Bvlinskv today. Classes 173 I came to LSU after military service as a junior transferring from La. Tech. What an exciting new world I found! Professors Eric Voegelin and Robert Harris of the Government Department, and T. Harry Williams of History made learning, and what there was to learn, so exciting that academia called as a career. My sister, Mau- rine, who was studying in the School of Music, introduced me to a classmate, Fay-Tyler Murray, whom I married with great dis- patch. At work (I was chief announcer at WJBO) and at the Baptist Student Union I had oppor- tunities to assume leadership roles and became more comfortable with audiences. I was still green wood when I graduated, but LSU had done what college should - - opened my eyes and given me a step on my career, let me meet the woman I married, and gave me experience. I am indebted still. James A. (Dolph) Norton Dr. Norton attended LSU follow- ing World War II. Today, he is chan- cellor of the Ohio Board of Regents. 174 Classes BehsanoJ Villar Oivki D.

I have my professional career, my studio, and I also have my teaching. Working with students is simply another aspect of my career. G: How did you get into painting? P: I always had an interest in it. Actually, I started college majoring in business adminis- tration and got totally bored with it. I wandered into art school and I loved it. I like art students.

Zito P WTJP 176 Classes G: Do you teach because of the financial aspect or because you enjoy it? P: Both. Teaching lets me be free in my work. I know that I don ' t have to rely on it for survival. In this way, it subsidizes my work. There ' s no pressure to turn out work. G: Have you taught anywhere besides LSU? P: Queens College. New York City is my favorite place. I ' m from Ohio. I was a grad student at Kent State -- you know, where they shoot stu- dents. There was a graduate art show and the LSU Chairman of the Fine Arts Department was there. He liked my work and called me up later and offered me a job. He asked if I was interested in coming to Louisi- ana. I wasn ' t. I had lived in the South before and I wasn ' t really impressed with the idea of com- ing back. I ended up accepting the offer and I ' ve been here ever since. G: How do you feel about LSU now? Is it very different from other universities -- say, Kent State? P: I like LSU. I don ' t know how to compare colleges. As far as the art department goes, the quality of work is just as good as I ' ve seen at other universities. One particular thing I ' ve noticed is that very seldom do you see two figures touching in a painting here. Many students seem to want themes of isolation, aliena- tion in their works. Why is it? G: How do you teach somebody how to paint or draw? P: The student has to have interest and ability. And most do or they wouldn ' t be taking an art course in the first place. More impor- tantly, however, they have to have an idea about themselves. The art curriculum is there to allow the students to project that idea about themselves. G: Do you ever tell a student that his work is really rotten? P: No. I ask about his intentions in his work. That is the only way you can discuss a work. Also we often have critiques where the students can speak to each other. This way my opinion isn ' t the only one being voiced. G: Do you profit from the classes in your own work? P: Definitely. I always tell my stu- dents that I learn more than they do. I get to walk around the room and take in all the differ- ent perspectives and points of view on a subject. I encourage my students to do the same. Art is a subject where the sub- ject is actually yourself. I admit, it ' s egotistical. Jack Wilkinson Camacho said, Art is an investment in yourself. It ' s a learning process in how to see yourself and the world. It ' s a continual process. If a student, any student not just an art student, is smart, he won ' t just go to school four years; graduate, and leave. He ' ll keep coming back. This accounts for the growth of the UC. These students are not fol- lowing specific curriculums; they ' re taking the courses that they want to take or feel that they need to take. I think that eventually the university will become a resource center. Ever- yone will have degrees so the only reason to come to college will simply be to learn. You could be going to school for the money. But, a truck driver is making twice the money that I do. He went to a training school for six months. I have a master ' s degree. But then I don ' t have to drive a truck. You can ' t get around the basic element of survival. What can you do with a painting degree? My graduate seniors come to me with the same ques- tion. I encourage them to develop some skill with which they can support themselves respectably and still have the time and energy to develop their talents as a painter. The ideal situation is to be able to eventu- ally support yourself with your painting. But how often does this become a reality? It takes a long time to be declared as an Artist. It doesn ' t happen a year, two years, three years after you graduate. We try to make a community in the art department. I think most students come to the art department because they ' ve experienced frustration in the other departments. Students can project themselves to each other and consequently learn about themselves. Developing ideas and skills in this way are ends in themselves. So many things today are ready-made. In art you can see something through from beginning to end. It ' s an irresistible idea. Art school is a difficult place to be right now. I ' d hate to be an art student right now. In the old 19th century art academies, there was a single agreed-upon visual language - - a standard for all artists. The academies died under their own weight. There are so many directions in art now. There ' s no standard visual language. It ' s a difficult time, but it ' s also a fascinating time. The act of painting itself pro- duces ideas. This is a basic dif- ference between painting and photography. You usually paint a painting over a period of time - during which you make dis- coveries. If I had to label a standard for painting right now, I would say it was making dis- coveries. I don ' t have to tell stu- dents that. They usually tell me. Maybe they never thought about using this color or that shape and then all of a sudden they say, Hey, I discovered something. And it ' s great! Kathy Orillion Classes 177 There is not a nihilistic bone in his body ... a gentle man. Cecil Eubanks: teaching is an exploration of values, not simply their transmission. It is useless and vain to lead others through knowl- edge with a lantern; one must show others how to lead themselves, how to light their own lanterns. Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly, I seek God! I seek God! As many of those who do not believe in God were standing around just then, he provoked much laughter. Why did he get lost? said one . . . Or is he hiding? . . . Thus they yelled and laughed. The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his glances. Whither is God he cried. I shall tell you. We have killed him you and I. ' ' The Gay Science F. Nietzsche Eubanks: With Heidigger, Til- lich, Nietzsche, and so forth, we understand that contemporary man must, in order to re-establish mean- ing for himself, accept the courage to strive, to fully exist, at the awful risk of being totally alone in such an endeavor . . . - civ . . . i . . . li . . . za . . . tion, n.l. an advanced state of human society in which a high level of art, science, religion, and government has been reached. 2. that which is largely respon- sible for our misery. American College Diet. S. Freud . . . alone because of what we have done to ourselves and our world. Most importantly of all, we must possess a special and dangerous courage, the courage that forces us on that even one fewer child must not absurdly suffer . . . ... a loveless world is a dead world, and always there comes an hour when one is weary of prisons, of one ' s work, and of devotion to duty, and all one craves for is a loved face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart. - A. Camus . . . The courage to care, even alone. Eubanks: The study of political theory or philosophy is, I believe, the study of meaning; the meaning of history, of communal existence, of individual existence. It is not possible to divorce that study from art, value, experience of commit- ment. Consequently, the content of this course will be rather broad and varied. We will draw from theology, art, philosophy, politics and quite possibly experience, in order to understand. There is Eros, the urge to the sen- suous being that is knowledge. Yet the communion that teaching should be can only exist where there prevails an atmosphere of trust, a shared compassion for knowledge and ideas that allow men to purge themselves of the destructive ethic of competion that reduces understanding from an end in itself to a simple, whorish means to an end. Professor Eubanks still tends to internalize his anxieties and abstract himself occasionally into the liberal syndrome of angelism. He is saved, however, by his fanta- sies of Joni Mitchell and Isabelle Adjani (and Joey Heatherton, Camacho though he ' d deny it). He prefers warm English sheep dogs to his son ' s eleven boas and three pythons and Molson ' s Pale Ale. He is an excellent guitarist and gentleman. Zeno Losavio 178 Classes ENTERTAINMENT 19 Rayner The Concert Season Although we didn ' t have Bob Dylan or the Rolling Stones this year, 1976 was another success for the Union Pop Entertainment Committee. LSU is continually able to attract top name entertainment because the Assembly Center is the best place to play in South Louisiana. The Superdome is too big. No one wants to play in an oversized arena with 80% empty seats. The Ware- house is too small and too uncom- fortable. Lafayette and Thibodeaux have good halls, but they don ' t have populations large enough to draw capacity audiences regularly. And outdoor stadium concerts are artis- tically appalling and are only feasi- ble during summer anyway. So the big names continually flock to Baton Rouge. Rayner 180 Entertainment Jul 2 Elvis Presley, one of the biggest, highlighted the summer. Now forty- two, Elvis relinquished his title as King of Rock ' n ' Roll a long time ago. But he still has the moves to excite the legions of adoring hou- sewives now approaching middle age who fling themselves like lem- mings at his every wiggle of that famous pelvis. His voice is strong, and when he is given a decent song to work with like Suspicious Minds Elvis shows why he sells so many records. But most of the time he just goes through the motions. However, one can sympathize with him. Who could possibly put any feeling into Hound Dog or Jailhouse Rock for the millionth lime? Elvis did his best work on the slow ones. I Can ' t Help Falling In Love Wi th You as always ended the show and the cries of more, more from the audience were futile. The public address system delivered the announcement, Elvis has left the auditorium. And the show was over. Technically his LSU concert was first-rate even if artistically it some- times failed. The band was com- posed of professionals who stayed with Elvis even when he didn ' t seem to have his mind on the show. The chorus, especially the bass, was also very good. The show was marred by the con- stant hawking of Elvis parapherna- lia over the public address system. Get your super Elvis souvenirs. These turned out to be an assort- ment of overpriced Elvis scarves, programs, buttons, etc. It would not have been so bad if the commercial was announced just once, but its repetition almost made going to an Elvis concert like watching televi- sion. The warmup comedian used the same jokes that he used at the show two years ago. They still weren ' t funny. 08 Camacho Oct. 2 After Elvis came Chicago. The Baton Rouge show marked their 10th Anniversary as a band and they played a variety of songs from the decade that had made them so popular. They mixed the newer songs with the golden oldies well and the audience never got tired. It is easy to forget how many hits Chi- cago has made, but a lot of the crowd knew all the words to most of the songs. These included Sat- urday In the Park, Color My World, 25 or 6 to 4 and others too numerous to mention. The highlight of the evening was Rayner guitarist Peter Cetera ' s failure to reach a high note in If You Leave Me Now. He broke into giggles and the audience loved it. There was another false start. He ' s get- ting senile, the trombone player explained. A third attempt was suc- cessful and the crowd roared its approval when Cetera safely navi- gated past the difficult passage. From then on Chicago had us in the palm of their hands right through the surprise encore, a reworking of an old Beatles tune, Got to Get You Into My Life. Rayner Williams Oct. 22 Barry Manilow and Lady Flash captivated the Assembly Center next. Manilow, formerly the arran- ger for Bette Midler, proved that he is one of the few truly professional songwriters in pop music. He has a gift for finding a catchy melody that has not yet been worn out. Together with Lady Flash, his hand-picked trio of female vocal- ists. Manilow gave one of the finest performances of the year. Even the people who came to the show not being really sure that they liked Manilow left with the feeling that Hey, this guy was good! And he was good. The show was a mixture of goodtime and elegance with a little bit of corn on the side. The personable Manilow delivered jokes with a rare sense of timing. He brought the enthusiastic crowd to its feet with his love songs ( Mandy and Could It Be Magic ). These were delivered with a dramatic style which was accented by his tuxedo and his grand piano adorned with a cande- labra. The crowd also got the feeling of nostalgia, when the band played the American Bandstand theme as Manilow jitterbugged with one of the members of Lady Flash. Manilow wrote a lot of famous commercial jingles (McDonalds, Pepsi, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Bandaids), and a medley of the commercials he has written impressed the audience which showed its appreciation by calling for three encores. The evening was one of those rare occasions when an artist leaves the audience feeling that they have gotten more than their mon ey ' s worth. We will remember Barry Manilow for a long time. Meredith Williams Camacho Meredith Entertainment 1 83 Nov. 1 The Union Theater was the scene of the Little River Band-Potliquor Show. The largely high school crowd was pleased to the point of rowdiness at the Austrailian-based Little River Band who specialize in hard rock played too loudly. The lead singer presented an unusual appearance wearing a baseball jacket with red deck shoes to match his flamingo red hair. They played their hit song twice. Camacho The revised Potliquor, a Baton Rouge group, played well despite technical difficulties. But without keyboards they didn ' t sound the way they used to. When the crowd insisted that they play Cheer, and Potliquor didn ' t, the audience was insulted. Camacho Nov. 3 There was no such rowdiness at the Modern Jazz Quartet. But the spectators loved every minute of the tapestry of sound the Quartet weaved. John Lewis on piano and Milt Bags Jackson on vibraharp provided the right ornamentation while Connie Kay on drums and Percy Heath on bass provided the foundation. The Modern Jazz Quartet plays traditional Jazz in a more polished style than the garbage one usually hears in the French Quarter, yet they don ' t fool around with syn- thesizers either. But although the instrumentation is simple, the music is not. Jackson and Lewis, who write much of the group ' s material, complement exhilarating improvisions. Among audience favorites were the George Gershwin classic Sum- mertime and a blues based rendi- tion of the NBC Today Show theme. Each solo produced an enthusiastic response not only by the Jazz afficionados but also by the Jazz novices present as well. Traditional Jazz is a medium that is not dying, contrary to popular belief. The Modern Jazz Quartet continues to prove that Jazz thrives to the delight of audiences lucky enough to hear them live. 184 Entertainment Nov. 5 The Eagles wowed a capacity crowd with their extraordinarily appealing country-rock sound. The emphasis was on vocal harmony throughout the performance, which was saturated with the string of top forty hits the Eagles have produced in the past years. The addition of Joe Walsh, for- merly of the James Gang, gave the group a visual focal point with his lunging, dancing style and his rub- ber-faced expressions. While the rest of the Eagles remained for the most part stationary, concentrating on the music, it was left to Walsh to get the crowd on its feet with an Eagles-style rendition of Funk 49, an old James Gang rocker. The show was a roaring success Rayner until an unfortunate incident at the end of the second and last encore. As the group was arrayed across the stage singing Tequila Sunrise, someone threw an object from the side of the stage which hit bass player Randy Meisner on the side of his head. He grimaced but con- tinued playing until the song ' s con- clusion when he picked up the object and hurled it back in the general direction from which it had come. Dropping his bass with an ampli- fied thud he stalked off stage in a huff as the rest of the group received the applause oblivious to the whole incident. John David Souther opened the show and was well-received. Camacho Camacho Rayner Rayner Rayner Nov. 11 The Eric Clapton-Charlie Dan- iels concert was a lot like the foot- ball season. It had its flashes of bril- liance but in the middle there was a lot of tedium. Charlie Daniels kicked it off and played his Southern-Fried Rock to Camacho an audience which seemed mostly bored. Polite applause greeted each tune until Daniels traded his guitar for a fiddle. But although Daniels himself admits that he saws at the fiddle rather than plays it, the crowd came alive. When Clapton came out, he put them back to sleep. Clapton, who in his heyday with Cream was hailed as one of the pre- liminary rock guitarists (remember the Eric is God! buttons?), is a lot more laid back now. No more fren- zied psychedelic solos. Instead he began the show with an acoustic set of newer material. It was mediocre at best. When the remaining audience (a lot of them left after Charlie Dan- iels) was just about to nod off com- pletely, Eric woke them up with Layla and Badge. But the high points were few and far between. Eric ' s solos were no longer fired with imagination. It almost seemed at times that he was merely practicing scales in different keys. by Tommy Coco Camacho 186 Entertainment Charley Pride Camacho Camacho Ford The Pat Terry Group Ford Ford Entertainment 187 Packer Camacho Gary Wright Robert Palmer Camacho Packer 188 Entertainment Roosevelt Sykes Musician Occupation: Led Zepplin. Elton John. Eagles. The Who. Cat Stevens. Roosevelt Sykes - - What do they have in common? They are all great musi- cians and have performed one time or another at LSU. Wait a minute! Roosevelt Sykes? Who ' s he? I don ' t have any of his albums or tapes, why not? That ' s because he ' s a lit- tle bit before our time but i s still around and going strong. Roosevelt Sykes was born in Helena, Arkansas in 1906 and began playing piano wherever and whenever he could as a child. He recorded his first record. 44 Blues. on June 14. 1929 in New- York City and has continued recording ever since then. I had maybe ten or twelve hits during my time but really lost count of them all. he said. It ' s not that he has a bad memory, because anyone would have trouble naming them over a 47-year career. As he named his tunes to the audience, he would occasionally slip in information like. 1929 at 11 Union Square. New York City, record number 8702. When Roosevelt approached his piano, you knew you were in for a treat and saw a style that may be old. but still turns people on. As he sat down he lighted up a fat cigar and took a mammoth puff. With his wide tie and clasp, and conservative white-collar shirt buttoned to the top of his Adam ' s apple, he said hello to the crowd and threw his straw hat to the side. With a hush over the room, he snapped his fin- gers, tapped his feet, started the music and cast a spell of rhythm and blues on everyone. Once he started you wanted more and more. There were no more seats left in the Royal Cotillion Ballroom so the rest crowded onto the floor and took a far-away trip on music from the days of the Depression. The piano and two amplifiers sounded as old as the man himself, but that ' s what makes him great. After an introduction of music, he spilled his sassy voice into even- one ' s ears, singing about life and blues that was a delight. Roosevelt moved all over the country with his piano and even played in Europe several times. He eventuallv retired in New Orleans where he had played before. Sitting down, Sykes wiped a handkerchief over his perspiring forehead. For a few seconds, flash- backs of L ouis Armstrong acting the same way appeared in my mind. When asked of his experience as a musician during the Depression he said. I never had anything so I never knew a depression in the ' Crescent City ' . With that, he let out a chuckle. Roosevelt Sykes, a pioneer recorder when Decca Records first began around the early 30 ' s, is a fascinating man with great stories of his beginning in music. The love for what he does couldn ' t be better summed up than when he com- mented, Not playing music is like not breathing air, you might as well be dead. - Mark Rayner Rayner Entertainment 189 Country Music Wright Willie Nelson twice in one year! Will Baton Rouge ever recover? Now that being a redneck is fash- ionable, more and more people are switching over from WFMF (loose radio) to WYNK (the country giant). Zachary ' s may be packed, but the Kingfish is off to a rousing start. In fact, Disco City over in Tigerland has been invaded by country music, since both Fap ' s and Zachary ' s have featured the Copas Brothers. Country music is here to stay! Let ' s face it folks, Charlie Dan- iels opening for Eric Clapton? Who would have thought it? Country music definitely has a secure place in Baton Rouge. The Louisiana Country Music Jambo- ree has gotten stronger every year, and the October festival with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Jimmy Buffet, Jessie Colter and Edwin Edwards had 30,000 people packed in at the State Fairgrounds. People came early and stayed all day, load- ing up on Lone Star or their own special preferences . . . ahem, well, to get on with it. The crowd loved everybody and everybody was great. As for country music night spots, the Kingfish is more than a new, larger Cahoots. It ' s bringing in national talent. Roger McGuinn headlined the opening week and Robert Palmer came later in the year. Danny Kertacy spared no expense in making his new place acoustically superb, turning the old Food Town into a small (capacity 540) concert hall. Baton Rouge was ready for such an investment, even supplying a little local talent for it, such as the Copas Brothers. The pickin ' and grinnin ' in laws have been enlivening the scene for several years now and get better all the time. Other local talent featured at the Kingfish includes Jeff Pollard and Gatemouth Brown, who comes equipped with a dynamite fiddle. Yes, indeed, country music is here to stay. by Carol Champion -% ' , : Mann 190 Entertainment Camacho It has been said that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. If such be the case, film makers must certainly be among the least knowledgeable about the past. Their work has been characterized by dim recreations of what the facts should have been. This year. Baton Rouge was the setting for another of these historical dramas, a made-for- television film about Huey Long. Starring Edward Asner, from TV ' s Mary Tyler Moore Show, in the title role, the film featured many local actors, including the masterful Rod Masterson, in speaking parts and as extras. The film was directed by Rob- ert Grand and is scheduled to be shown over the NBC network on March 21.

An J r I interesting Roman Comedy-of- Errors with a talented cast, Phormio was outlandishly phunny. Tim Guest, in the title role, received good support from Rick Bollinger, Keith Champagne and Elizabeth Michel. Ah, Wilderness, a play of dramatically contrasting style, was a study of a turn-of-the-century family. Written by Eugene O ' Neill, it delighted audiences with its pathos, humor and brilliant acting. David Foil, as Nat Miller, por- trayed the middle-aged father real- istically with strong support by Cynthia Chemay as his wife. Rick Bollinger, as a young man coming of age, was outstanding. Others of note in the large cast were David Jensen as Sid Davis, Jo-Ellen Floyd as Lily Miller and Clint Peltier as Tommy. Meredith 206 Entertainment The Great Western Melodrama Camacho Camacho Camacho Phormio Camacho Entertainment 207 _ Ah, Wilderness The biggest hit of the season, however, was William Inge ' s Bus Stop, produced by the Department of Speech. First performed for the LSL Summer Dinner Theater. Bus Stop copped most of the awards at the 1976 Theater Festival and was nominated to participate in the regional festival at Fort Worth. James Mclntire as Bo Decker and Rebecca Wells as Cherie were rec- ognized for their characterizations as slate festival nominees for the Irene Ryan Acting Competition. (Bill Hite. Darryl Voelker and Steve Ramay were also standouts, height- ening the depth of the drama.) Bus Stop had excellent compet- ing company. Of the remaining nine universities participating in the Festival. Centenary College ' s Sum- mer and Smoke, a glowing tragedy, was commended for technical pro- duction. Judi Mason ' s A Star Ain ' t Nothing But a Hole in Heaven. Grambling. was a showcase for NK Mason ' s writing and acting talent. The high caliber of these shows and others made the Festival a memora- ble success. The Lively Arts Com- mittee, which produced the Festi- val, as well as the Speech Depart- ment had good reason to feel the festival gave a good sampling of crowd-pleasing theater. Shakespeare said all the world is a stage. and LSU. w ith its constant glow of dramatica entertainment, is a case in point. The Beaux Arts are alive and well here. bv Janet Heinmiller Meredith Bus Stop Entertainment 209 Suddenly Last Summer mm - __ Ford ir! ' Ford Welcome to the theater . . . You walk into a raucous world of noise, heat, and glaring lights. You have mind-numbing lines to learn, and make-up so thick it can turn a complexion into raw hamburger in two weeks. Forget about football games, movies, quiet nights in front of the television, because there are endless rehearsals each night, every night. Do it over, do it over, do it over, one more time - there, you ' ve almost got it right, so do it over one more time . . . Costumes are either so tight you pray for breath and then pray not to belch (onstage anyway), or so loose you ' ve got 216 safety pins holding you together, or so smelly from disuse or overuse they could get up and walk onstage by them- selves. There are heart-stopping moments when you forget a line, or say it too soon, or too late. There are moments of sickness the girl playing the lead is in agony, a back- brace supporting her. She looks remarkably slim and poised in her yellow linen dress, but you know how badly it hurts, because when you reach to give her the required - hug in the second act she whispers, Oh God, don ' t let go. Hold me up . . . There is never enough time, not enough money, too many assist- ants, or none at all. The theater lures misfits, back- stabbers, egomaniacs, paranoids, homosexuals or any combination of these. It gives rise to love affairs, jealousies, bitter rivalries, undying friendships, frustrations and thou- sands of tears. Often the drama backstage between cast and crew is more titillating than what they pres- ent onstage. So why? What makes you addicted to the theater? What makes you give up so much of your personal life, your time, your money? You trade so much for only a brief time on a stage in front of people you don ' t even know, and most likely will never see again. Maybe it ' s because the theater can make you hate yourself, or even make you forget who you are alto- gether. All of a sudden you ' re not a skinny, big-nosed girl struggling to maintain a faltering average and shrugging off the fact that no one has asked you out for the last six Ford weeks. Instead, you become a sul- try, smoldering, sexpot showgirl in Cabaret, or a masterful yet gentle nun in Suddenly Last Summer, or a cackling old hag in Phormio. You know how it is, like the time you saw that quiet, shy unobtrusive boy in your lab class transformed into a tempestuous, tortured smart-aleck in One Flew Over the Cuckoo ' s Nest. From the time you saw him onstage, he ' s never been quite the same in your mind. You realize that you can cause that effect too. You can transform yourself onstage, and, in doing, so transform what people think about you. A lie? Per- haps. An illusion? Probably. But when the lights go out, and Ford the curtain falls on closing night, the cast and crew fall into each oth- er ' s arms and heave a collective sigh of fulfillment and content. Star, or lighting assistant, it makes no dif- ference, because you were all in it together. Besides, you might be a genius by Rosemary Thompson Ford Entertainment 211 Zoo Story Meredith Meredith Meredith 212 Entertainment JOHN RAITT in The theater lays silent; every- thing is in its place waiting to be put to use. Today is the day a road show will be brought in and the stage set for the performance. The crew starts to arrive, and the work soon begins. At first the activ- ity is disorganized but it soon all falls into place. The people move together and the work gets done. The truck has to be unloaded and the sets, props, and costumes brought in. This is all packed and has to be set up. Most of the day is spent hanging drops, setting up flats, and putting the props where they will be ready for the actors. When the stage is set, the lights are worked on. This is a long tedious task: different color gels are tried, different levels of intensity are worked with, and focusing, in some cases aiming ' , must be done. All this is to create just the right effect. The stage starts to look like another place. It is capable of becoming whatever you want: it conforms to the sets and lights and reflects the people involved. The atmosphere also changes from a subdued quiet to an anxious excite- ment. Mann Mann M-inr. Entertainment 213 Ford The tension starts mounting as everyone gets ready for the per- formance. The actors go over their lines and get in character. The crew goes over the list of cues and checks to make sure the lights are working and the set is in order. The curtain goes up, and another phase of the activity starts. Every- one has a specific job to do that - no matter how small will have an effect on the show. During the per- formance, the movement flows both on stage and off. Ford Ford 214 Entertainment The show is over, and the whole process reverses. The sets are torn down, and things go back in place. It all happens much quicker than when setting up. The actors have gone, and the crew is finishing the last of the work to be done. The atmosphere is relaxed, and there is joking and harassing over missed cues and dumb mistakes. The stage is empty again, and the theater is quiet. But there is a lin- gering echo of the show. Shadows of the people and things will find places among the other memories. The past of a theater is always there waiting for the lights of the next show. by Eileen Scherich Ford Entertainment 215 Masterly! Remarkable! A simply devastating experience.

Star Trek refuses to pass even though many have tried to kill it, he said. It offers some very strong messages that aren ' t found in many television series today. Generations, old and new. find the science-fic- tion creation intriguing because it is loaded with hidden values that can be uncovered for the first time, usu- ally no matter how many times any- one sees each show. That ' s why the show is successful according to the way Nimoy sees it. It offers some- thing concrete for us to understand and most shows of today don ' t do that. Ever hear of a ' Starsky and Hutch Convention ' ? he jokingly asked. The Spock character was quite difficult to perform, said Nimoy. the son of Russian-born parents. Zietz Most thought the contrary, but the real Spock was an emotion-con- trolled being instead of an emotion- less robot. Trying to act with few emotions took much practice, he said. In an earlier period of his life, characters were ways for Nimoy to hide his real personality. It wasn ' t until the time of his success by com- bining poetry with photography that he discovered it was ok to be me. Through this, he seems to have opened up his life, exposing the world to the rich experiences and deep thoughts of his life. During a question and answer session, Nimoy discussed a variety of ideas. The most interesting answer concerned the origin of the Vulcan salute. It was an idea he thought of in Amok Time, proba- bly his most favorite episode, he admitted. Actually the salute is a Jewish blessing he remembered back from his childhoo d and was not created by that show ' s writers as many people thought. . .It Was OK to Be Me. After a standing ovation from the audience in the Royal Cotillion Ballroom, Nimoy exited quickly. It was almost as if he was energized to another planet such as from th,e times on the Enterprise, some migh ' t have thought. Altogether, it was an interesting night, most would say. The crowd smiled ... he smiled back with delight . . . and children whistled Star Trek ' s theme in varying cracked pitches as they left. As for myself, I beat everyone back to the television room, that October eve- ning, thus satisfying my newly developed case of Trekie insani- ty. Star Trek was on! Mark Ravner Entertainment 221 George Peppard Ford On October 23rd, George Pep- pard, TV ' s Banacek, arrived in Baton Rouge for a speaking engagement on the LSU campus. His purpose? To campaign for Jimmy Carter. Sponsored by LSU Students for Carter, it was supposed to have been an informal coffee and donuts affair. At the last minute, much to the dismay of the Students for Carter, it was decided that a press conference would be held in conjunction with the reception. Arriving at LSU at 1 1 :40 a.m. to a room filled with reporters, TV cameras and more cameras, George Peppard said that he was trying to make up for lost time in contribut- ing to his country. Stating that he was for many years an armchair American - only paying taxes and voting, Peppard encouraged Americans not to make the same mistake, but to actively participate. After Peppard ' s five minute pre- pared speech, a question and answer session was held in which the local TV and newspaper report- ers asked their prepared questions and Peppard gave his prepared answers. Peppard said of Ford that with- out the power of the President in his hands, Ford is what he ' s always been, somebody who can get elected in Grand Rapids. Of Carter he stated that anyone who says Carter is a ' pie in the sky ' isn ' t facing the records. Anyone who says Jimmy Carter doesn ' t have a position is being vague to the point of telling a lie. At noon Peppard ended the con- ference and left for a brunch in Denham Springs. He had time only for a few autographs and no time to talk with anyone. The event did not turn out as expected but, regardless, it was no less than an event to have a celeb- rity as Peppard on campus. - Sarah Schexnayder Meredith Entertainment 223 It ' s Time to Move On, Said Uncle Tim. The date, Nov. 16, 1976, could have gone unnoticed by many peo- ple at LSU but this was the day Dr. Timothy Francis Leary hit the streets of Baton Rouge. My God! Leary ' s out of jail again! I thought they locked that nut up forever, said some and, How can he talk at all? He ' s just about cooked his brain with acid. Comments like these and more could be heard whenever you told someone who you were going to see that night. When the name, Leary, was mentioned some only drew blank stares since they didn ' t recog- nize it. Some probably even thought he was a rock singer since the Moody Blues used his name in one of their songs. To others the name meant evil and insanity. Leary, called the messiah of LSD in the sixties, was thought to be out to destroy the minds of the youth! All of this ran through my mind as I waited for his arrival at the press conference. It was probably in the minds of everyone else in that room too. What was this guy going to be like? Would he look like a zombie? How would he act after having just gotten out of Federal prison on bail around May of ' 76? Then it happened: he walked in. Once we were introduced, he began to talk and answer questions with a relaxed smile and friendly manner, laughing at his own jokes. He didn ' t entirely dominate the dis- cussion on days of LSD and the six- ties because, he said, I don ' t want to go back to it since I ' m not a nos- talgist and probably can ' t go back anyway. The sixties as he explained it, was a consciousness movement where we became very aware of our bod- ies and what happened around them. They were also times of gen- eration conflicts between the young and old. The movement is over according to Leary, saying conditions are much better in this decade. We had to go through what we did back then in order to get where we are today, he said. Things might be comfortable now as Leary pointed out, but stressed, It ' s time to move on again. Apart from his old slogan Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out, the good doctor has a new one called S.M.I.L.E. - - Space Migration, Intelligence, and Life Expansion. With S.M.I.L.E. we can build cities in space, increase our intelligence by doubling IQs. and triple the human life span. All of this accord- ing to Leary can be done in 10 or 20 years. It may sound impossible but it can happen . . . but in 10 or 20 years? Well that ' s Leary for you with his uncanny characteristics of optimism. At the lecture, people jammed the Royal Cotillion Ballroom to capacity level and then some! Stu- dents, late and locked out, pounded the windows causing Leary to leave the podium and see what the thun- der-like noise was all about. The crowd was mixed long hair, short hair, grey hair, no hair . . . calculus books, Leary books and peace sym- bols. Everyone was different but there for the same reason, to see Leary, hear him speak and probably con- firm what they had already believed about him. He was either a freak or genius. As he left, the crowd cheered and applauded for the man who talked during the sixties for what he thought was best for us all: mind expansion, comprehension and control of our nervous systems and the changes in society for those dreams to come true. Timothy Leary a controversial figure of the sixties and a glimpse into the future with a beaming SMILE of happiness. - Mark Rayner Rayner . 224 Entertainment The mystical experience of the- atre -- that sense of community it creates in people is people --is probably its hope for the future, New York Times theatre critic Clive Barnes said in a lecture in the Royal Cotillion Ballroom. Barnes, critic for the Times since 1967 (and concurrently its dance critic since 1965) spoke on The Plight of the Theatre Today as a guest of the Kirby Lectures in the Humanities series and the Depart- ment of Speech. People go to the theatre for the same reasons they go to rock con- certs and sports events, when they could usually see both on television at home. Barnes said. People want to be with people and theatre Meredith gives them that ' sense of common- ality. ' It is one of our ' rites of pas- sage ' . The American Theatre is in excellent shape, he noted, but is changing its character completely. I ' m not at all sure our arts apply to society right now, from a linear or verbal, civilization to one that is non-linear and oriented to the vis- ual. Classic Theatre will never die, he said, but there is a new type of thea- tre developing. The responsibility for developing it lies in public sub- sidy of the arts, which he calls a kind of continuing form of educa- tion. We have the framework for a good system of art subsidy - - a multi-system. Barnes said, citing Clive Barnes the city of Hamburg, Germany which annually gives more money to its opera house than the U.S. Government gives to the arts in this country. We are the world ' s richest nation and the least civilized, he added. I am reminded of Marcus Aurelius, who quoted an historian writing of a vanished civilization with the conclusion, ' It was a nation without poets, so it died ' . Part of the change in the image of the American theatre is to be seen in the theatrical scene Barnes regu- larly covers on Broadway. He deliv- ered a brief rundown of the current e conomic and aesthetic situation of the Broadway theatre, with the con- clusion that it is no longer a labora- tory or showcase. The Broadway stage is a show- place, featuring some theatre - particularly musical theatre - - as good as anywhere in the world, Barnes commented, but the eco- nomic situation has taken away the artist ' s right to fail. Most of the best theatre on Broadway comes either from London, the regional theatre, off-Broadway or the ' institutional ' theatre. Instead, critics, he said, are now being taken for traffic cop, censors and Good Housekeeping seals of approval. The move toward abstraction in all the arts has finally hit the Ameri- can theatre, and a lot of the most interesting experimental work is coming from outside Manhattan. The ' workshop condition ' which has disappeared from the Broad- way theatre, is flourishing in the hinterlands. I think a critic must be advocate for a certain kind of theatre, Barnes said of his work. His must be a catalyst of that bridge between artist and audience, though he may wish to cultivate or dynamite that relationship. David Foil Entertainment 225 Meredith Meredith Lindy Boggs Meredith Mann Mann Mann Eugene McCarthy 226 Entertainment Mike Williams Football First of all, you have to under- stand football the way it happens around here. It ' s a game, sure, but it ' s more than that. It is a happen- ing, an event on the field, as dic- tated by NCAA rules, it is no differ- ent than other games played around the country. Both sides have 1 1 men on the field; they punt, pass and kick; and in the end, the team with the most points wins. But the way it happens becomes different in Tiger Stadium or Death Valley as the place is affectionately called by some of the nation ' s coaches. There are other places with rabid fans, other places where the city lives and dies a little bit with every play, other places where a season is as much a three-month party as an 1 1 game schedule. But there will always be one thing that sets LSU apart, one thing people will think about when they talk of Tiger Stadium on Saturday night. Noise. Rayner Zietz 2Z8 Sports It is what makes Tiger Stadium the pit it can be for opposing quar- terbacks. We are loud and we love it. Some say it is the shape and con- struction of the stadium. Others Camacho point an accusing finger at the sobriety (or lack of it) of the faith- ful. No matter, the noise is there and will always be a part of four years at the University. Camacho I .Mann 229 Long Rayner Camacho 230 Sports Camacho And we play our games at night. We wouldn ' t have it any other wa . While other schools are watching halftime shows, we are just crank- ing up our pre-game celebrations in anticipation of fighting for seats in the student section. There are different ways of doing this. Some of us join the Winnebago city outside the stadium. We all may be liberal-minded Commie pinkos in the eyes of our elder fans and alumni, but for one night a week anyway, all is forgiven and hippie and Bircher alike spend the day devouring cold fried chicken and lukewarm drinks of whatever is handy at the time. Some of us cram 1 17 people into a two-bedroom apartment and spend the day seeing who can get into the gaudiest looking purple and gold outfit. Evictions may fol- low for the hosts but it ' s still fun and the risks are worth the enjoy- ment. Some of us spend Saturday lay- ins sieae to the statelv mansions , lined up along fraternity row. Here. the celebration may take on the effect of a Cecil B. DeMille epic with a cast of thousands. And at times the resulting destruction of these mansions would make Gen- eral Sherman proud of his old school. And there are still some of us (reportedly) who spend the after- Camacho noon in a more sane manner. You can dodge the tourists and spend the afternoon in the Union discuss- ing the economic situations involved in a psuedo-capitalistic society as opposed to the fallacies of intellectual Freudian responses. Sports 231 No matter, at about 6:00 we all converge on the expanding (liter- ally) Tiger Stadium for Saturday Night Live, LSU style. Depending on the situation we then sit, stand, yell, boo, drink, eat, wave Rebel flags, burn Rebel flags, stumble, stagger, sing and dance our way into the night for three hours. And then it is over sort of. For some the night is over for a few it was over before halftime. Others return to what they were doing before the game and continue until they can go no longer. For some especially strong souls, this is sometime Tuesday, but others have another game to play like dodg- ing housemothers or finding a table at Sambo ' s. It is a way of life in the fall and while it may have flunked out more people than cablevision, it is in no tl f bfl Camacho danger of dying out as a major part of LSU life. In recent years things like stadium expansion (while the School of Environmental Design remained cramped) have led some to question the emphasis of athlet- ics. Mann _ - ' Camacho Rayner Rayner Ravner Camacho Sports 233 With the string of nine-win sea- sons a thing of the recent past, stu- dents at times have questions if it is worth it. But every time doubters begin to surface, the Tigers will tie Nebraska or destroy Ole Miss and all is forgiven for a week at least. This season was a funny one. It began with the tie of then top- ranked Nebraska and ended with a sparse crowd sitting in the rain (yes, it happened) to watch the Tigers end a 6-4-1 season with a methodi- cal execution of hapless Utah. In between was something for every- one. For those with optimistic out- looks, the year will forever be known as the year the unranked Tigers tied No. 1 ranking Nebraska. It was, of course, the first game of the year and the fans showed up with a cautious optimism for better things ahead after the previous 4-7 season. They got an eyeful as the Tigers completely stymied the vaunted Cornhusker offense and used two field goals in the second half by Mike Conway to get the tie that was not like kissing your sister. There was also the 45-0 rout of arch-rival Ole Miss. That was the kind of night Tiger Stadium waits on. Everything went right for the Tigers and everything went wrong Schultz for the bad guys from Mississippi. It wasn ' t supposed to be that way. Both teams seemed to be on the way back after a couple of poor sea- sons and the tickets were as scarce as in the days of Billy Cannon and the Chinese Bandits. Camacho Mann Camacho Schultz Sports 235 Camacho But the game failed to live up to all the advance billing as the Tigers ran at will through the Ole Miss defense and the Tiger defense, led by A. J. Duhe and Jon Streete, held the Rebels at bay all night. And for those looking for the bright spots, there was always Terry Robiskie. The Tiger senior ended his four-year career by rewriting the LSU record book. Most notable among the records were the single game, season and career rushing marks, but he also etched his name in the book as the leader in most touchdowns and points scored. His finest game was against Rice when Farrier he set a single game record of 214 yards. Other milestones came in the Ole Miss game when he broke Brad Davis ' career rushing mark and the Tulane game when he became the first LSU player in history to rush for over a thousand yards in a sea- son. By season ' s end it was obvious Robiskie ' s records would not last long, however, and this too was good news for Tiger faithfuls. Charles Alexander, only a sopho- more, seems a certain heir to all the lofty records and he will be around for two more years. Camacho Farrier 236 Sports While the optimists in the crowd can point to a 6-0- 1 record in Tiger Stadium, pessimists can easily counter with the 0-4 mark the Tigers compiled away from home. Yes, for the third year in a row the Tigers failed to win a game outside the state and in at least two instances, the efforts were less than inspirational. The low marks of the season came in far away Lexington, Ken- tucky and nearby Jackson, Missis- sippi. In Lexington against the Ken- tucky Wildcats, the Tigers tore up the middle of the field and led the game in almost every statistical cat- egory. But never were we really in the game and only a last minute touchdown prevented the embar- rassment of a shut-out as the Wild- cats coasted to a 21-7 win. In Jackson against the Bulldogs of Mississippi State, with the Ben- gals still entertaining bowl hopes, the Tigers played dull uninspired ball for three and a half quarters to fall behind 21-0. Good breaks in the final minutes enabled the Tigers to make an exciting comeback, but it fell short and State bested the Tigers for the third year in a row, 21-13. Zietz Camacho 238 Sports Mann Rhett Powell Sports 239 Schultz Two other road trips were more encouraging for the wavers of pur- ple and gold, but still the Tigers were unable to win away from home. Gainesville against the Florida Gators was perhaps the most excit- ing game of the year. After the Tigers played give-away in the first half, the Gators returned the favor in the second half to set up a last minute LSU victory drive attempt. Several times the drive looked over, but big plays most notably Mike Quintela ' s diving catch of long pass from Pat Lyons - - kept the drive alive down to the five-yard line. From there on fourth down, Lyons ' pass into the end zone was just wide and the Tigers lost a heartbreaker. In the other road loss. Bear Bryant continued his mastery over the Tigers with a 28-17 win in Bir- mingham. Coming on the heels of the rout of Ole Miss, close to 10,000 Tiger faithfuls made the trip to Bir- mingham to make the party a trav- eling road show. 240 Sports Rayner Camacho Ca macho Sports 241 31 L8U zoom 13 Mtt Once again this year. Coach Charles McClendon became the center of many fans ' attention. LSU ' s winningest coach got some reassurance early in the year with signs like Bring Us Back Mac sprouting in the stadium. By sea- son ' s end, however, with the road losses, the familiar cries of Help Mac Pack were becoming strong again. But confident that the Tiger for- tunes were back on the right track, Mac won out again and a Board of Supervisors meeting shortly after the season ended gave Mac a vote of confidence, even though they did shorten his existing contract from four to two years by mutual agree- ment.

By season ' s end a big chunk of the defense that stymied Nebraska could only watch from the sidelines and it showed in games like Alabama and Mississippi State. Camacho IB - There were no winning season and a losing confer- ence record, but it was still the LSU fall party and everyone will have their own memories. Some will remember parties, fried chidken, snuck-in fifths, lost cars and Gooo Tigers! Others will remember tears, frustration, long rides home, Help Mac Pack and rain in Tiger Stadium.

Among the new faces Coach Dale Brown unveiled were Rick Mattick, listed at seven feet, and Greg Cook who shared duties at center. But the biggest surprise was Durand Rudy Macklin, who provided offensive punch along with intimi- dating rebounding. Another Freshman, Jordy Hult- berg, occasionally reminded lots of folks of another former LSU kid who used to wear droopy socks. Bob Miller continued to shred zone defenses by dropping long range bombs from the corner with amaz- ing accuracy. Lionel Green and Floyd Baily were also crowd favor- ites. Of course the anchor of the team was still Kenny Higgs. As a junior he held all assist records at LSU and was the top defensive player as well as prolific scorer. He played with intelligence and dedication along with total disregard for his own personal safety in order to draw personal fouls. The Tigers may not have been SEC champs but they have become competitive. In his fifth year. Dale Brown and his staff have a young team that can play with anybody.

The Lady Tigers received more scholar- ships, more fans, and more recogni- tion than ever before. Women ' s basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, swimming and tennis teams were on the club sports level, but are all being promoted to varsity sports for the 1977-78 season. The Lady Tigers, under their new coordinator of Women ' s Intercollegiate Athlet- ics, Pat Newman, showed their determination and effort in their season records. The Lady Tiger volleyball team had a terrific 32-6 season, with a 25- 2 record in state. They placed sec- ond in the LAIAW state tourna- ment. Under the coaching of Jinks Coleman, with much help from Alex Diaz, the team took 2nd place trophies at the Mississippi Univer- sity for Women ' s Tournament and at the Memphis State Tournament. They captured the first place title at the Northwestern State University tournament. Joanette Boutte was named the Most Valuable Player in the state. The women ' s tennis team, under the direction of Pat Newman, had a great 6-1 fall season. They placed 3rd in the Lady Tiger Invitational behind two nationally ranked teams.

This prize had eluded the Rugby Club since the first Nation- als held in Lexington, VA in 1972, in which LSU placed third. The next year, it was won by Palmer College of Iowa, who LSU met in the finals of this year ' s tourney. The Rugby Football Club pres- ently sports a six-year winning per- Camacho J Meredith 280 Sports centage of over 87%. The average semester won lost record is 13-2-1 over the last 12 semesters. Betcha didn ' t realize that, huh? Seems as if the administration hasn ' t either, as the RFC still vies with all the other equally deserving club sports for a part of a sparse club sports budget from the Intramural Department. The LSL RFC burst into exist- ence in late October of 1970. as the brainchild of a South African named Rob Haswell, and a Mary- lander named Jay McKenna. In their first game on Dec. 7, 1970. LSL defeated a much surprised Tulane XV by 15-10. And that was only the beginning. Over the past years. LSU has traveled - - all by road - - from Washington. DC, to Atlanta, to South Bend, Ind.. to New York, to Miami, and almost all points in between. The semester average for miles traveled is 5.000. That ' s a long time to ride and almost all trips are started on Friday afternoon and ended early Monday morning with usually between 10-24 hours of the time spent on the road. But why. you ask. do we do it? Because that ' s the game. We play for fun. No one in over 25 countries of the world that plays rugby plays for pay, except for two small leagues, one in England and one in Australia. But their rules are as dif- ferent from Rugby Union (amateur rugby) as American football is dif- ferent from Canadian football. Rebstock Ca macho Meredith Sports 281 Most people who have heard of rugby seem to have heard of the infamous parties also. But the party is an integral part of the game. Honestly what other sport (c ' mon, name one) besides rugby football do you know of that has a tradition of shaking hands before the game, and which the losers clap the winners off the field and con- gratulate them on their win, after which both teams retire for a man- datory number of beers with the other team. Also, what other sport could exist with 30 players on the field at once with only one (that ' s right - - one) referee on the field? Plus, not bitching about the refer- ee ' s decision. Furthermore, any player harang- ing the referee is likely to be sent off the field by his captain. Doesn ' t that make more sense than throw- ing a bottle at the ref? Rugby has been described as a ruffians game played by gentlemen and the LSU Rugby Football Club, with their exemplary showing for six years, upholds not only the gen- tlemanly aspect of the game, but the true sporting spirit of the game of rugby football. The LSU Rugby Football Club wishes to sincerely thank the GUMBO, the Reveille, Coach Jay McCreary, and especially Rod Haswekkll for al l that they have done for the club. Tell y ' all what -- come catch a game one Saturday. We promise you won ' t be bored. by Gary Meyers Camacho 282 Sports Meredith Meredith Meredith Sports 283 8i8ir - The New Field House Mann Mann Mann 284 Sports Manr Ford Sports 285 Dance Camacho Camacho Camacho 286 Sports , Camacho Camacho Ounacho Sports 287 Hoffpauir Hoffpauir Hoffpauir Hoffpauir 288 Sports Hoffpauir Louisiana Concert Ballet Classical ballet, modern ballet, and jazz sparked the varied inter- ests of ballet enthusiasts here in Baton Rouge during the annual winter performance of the Louisi- ana Concert Ballet Company in the LSU Union Theater. The company, directed by Phoebe Brantley and recently accepted as an intern member of the Southwestern Regional Ballet Association, con- sists of young adult Baton Rouge dancers. Variations on a Theme. a neoclassical ballet which secured regional membership for the com- pany, was followed by such classics as the Peasant Pas de Deux from Giselle and the Pas Trois from Swan Lake. Saturnalia. music by Vivaldi, was choreographed by LSU resi- dent instructor. Leslie Brasseaux, a talented dancer and choreographer, seen in the jazz selection of the pro- gram and in Elegy. a classical ballet choreographed by Phoebe Brantley. Quadricycle, a contemporary M ' - .- Hoffpauir ballet, is an original work of Gilbert Rome of the Houston High School of the Performing Arts. Mr. Rome came to Baton Rouge as a guest teacher and choreographer, part of the company ' s summer study pro- gram. The company auxiliary annu- ally sponsors both a summer study program involving two guest teach- ers and a ballet scholarship to a deserving student. Auxiliary mem- bership is open to interested per- sons. The Louisiana Concert Ballet Company is a young promising company here in Baton Rouge. Upgrading and enlightening the arts program on the campus and throughout the city is the aspiration of each member. Other sections of the program were Mahler ' s Adagietto and Hoe- down from Rodeo. Melanie Safer Sports 289 Jose Limon Dance Company Of all the media of art that we seek for pleasure, entertainment, or wisdom, the medium of dance can be the most powerful. It is a diffi- cult art form to understand and demands more of the senses than any of the other performing arts. The audience has to be prepared to imagine a whole new complicated world, or to imagine the simplicity of man ' s present endurement. A startling power of dance is that it can be a different thing to all who observe it. Many people think of dance mainly in the sense of com- mercial jazz, of the old tap and soft shoe routine, or of classical ballet - often we forget that dance can become contemporary, too. Today, a dance audience must be prepared to view a new vocabulary in dance. A type of dance known as modern dance is now the attraction of the stage. When we attend any form of the performing arts, we take all our present knowledge a nd experience to that performance. If we are unfa- miliar with an art form, then we are often critical of it and it has to work hard to influence us. Modern dance has been striving to get America to accept it, to love it, to support it. Dancers work hard studying ways to express the tragedies of man and the grandeur of his spirit. Many fail because the field is highly competi- tive. Most dancers are unknowns; only a few achieve real fame. Some of the top dance companies of the world have visited the LSU campus, yet students and the public alike have ignored the fluid and awe-inspiring performances of these companies. It is a sad feeling to see a half-empty audience when one knows that usually these com- panies perform for large crowds. Also, how can one learn about Camacho dance if one does not attend the concerts? Surely, other artists have tempted the people ' s curiosity to know what dance is all about. There exist many allusions to the pure order and dis- cipline of dance in poetry and song. Dance is one of the very earliest forms of fellowship known to man- kind. There is no language bound- ary in dance; there is no skill needed to understand dance. One just has to be there because dance is transitory. It can only influence those who see it. Dance can express the eternal truths and values of life with strength and simplicity. It can drain Camacho 290 Sports Camacho an audience of all its tension or it can make an audience ache with tension. It can excite a viewer. It can unite the audience with one simple expression or it can divide the audience into individual units with each person interpreting the dance differently. The Jose Limon Dance Co. has revolutionized the role of the male dancer. It is based on the style of Doris Humphrey, who was the orig- inal founder. During his life, Limon was considered one of the greatest male dancers of the world. The company has preserved his and Humphrey ' s works, many of which are now classics. Each of us should take tiipe to attend a professional dance con- cert. As part of the audience, we can grow to better understand the phenomenon of dance. - Tracy L.

Indeed, these little animals are cute and share the campus with us, but we really don ' t get to know them at all. They are taken for granted after the many occasions of providing us with a diversion from our hectic lives. But this year, we ' re not going to give some perverted photographers the chance to distort the true squirrel ' s life. We are only able to dwell on one facet of their exist- ence but hopefully in the years to come, our succes- sors will continue to enlighten you, our friends. The highest standards of good, clean excellence is not only our goal; it is forced upon us by our guilt.

This purpose is accomplished through personal sharing at Bible study ses- sions known as Huddle groups. The athletes involved take advan- tage of the national platform they have to testify about the life chang- ing experience which occurs as a result of coming to know Christ personally. The F.C.A. has over 25 summer conferences which provide oppor- tunities for male and female ath- letes to come together for fellow- ship, competition and biblical instruction. Many professional and college athletes attend and help as speakers, Huddle group leaders and counselors. All of these activities are geared to make known the lifes- tyle available through Christ in the athletic world and other vocations as well.

Under the leadership of Ted Schirmer, president; Dana Robert, legislative vice-president; and Ned Wright, financial vice- president; the SGA moved, some- times forward and sometimes back- ward, but it always moved. An active Student Assembly composed of elected students from every facet of student life contributed enor- mously to the progress and pitfalls associated with any governing organization. The year began on a positive note with diligent efforts to lobby effec- tively in the state legislature. For the first time in the history of stu- dent government, LSU students were represented down at the capi- tol by a student lobbyist and coor- dinated activities relevant to lobby- ing. Legislators definitely sat up and took notice. Next year ' s lobby effort will be an even more formi- dable enterprise grounded in the experience received at the 1976 Legislature. Another first for LSU in addition to organized lobbying were the first and second Registration Blues Fes- tivals. Naaman Eicher, Steve Triche, and Marion Campbell vol- unteered to organize these mass efforts for student entertainment during registration periods. Assorted bands provided rock and blues for those students who wanted one last fling before the rigors of the semester commenced. The Assembly generated several projects on its own. It passed revised absence requirements and grounds for impeachment to insure that all student government offi- cials perform their functions responsibly. The Mann Act, a financial procedures and responsi- bility act, and a carefully scruti- nized budget, passed; thereby tight- ening security surrounding the stu- dents ' money. The Consumerism Committee of the Assembly distrib- uted consumer information to mar- ried students. The assembly sup- ported the multi-purpose plan for the Atchafalaya Basin after pre- senting a slide show to the public. 342 Organizations Glenn Armentor Gay Benson Louis Buckner Amy Carbonette Kaye Carroll Joe Cleveland Karen Coates Roy Cordaro John Crochet Leslie Day Naaman Eicher Terry Foust Miriam Hammer Rob Hoffman Dickie Hollier Mike Hyman Susan Innes Gaylord James Jennifer Johnson Tim Johnson Scott Kaiser Danny Landry Cathy Launey Reginald Laurent Virginia Lazarus Scott Love Bill Lowery Lawrence Mann Julia Martinusen George McCullough Mike Moore Pam Mosteller Bill Philip Ed Pittman Debbie Prevost Jamie Prevost Danny Priestly Rick Richard Mike Richman Dana Robert Ted Schirmer Mark Schroeder Gary Simon Susan Stagg David Stevens Steve Triche Dave Tuttle Karen Uffman Babette Vidrine Bailey Vinson Dan Williams Pete Williston Joe Wills Ned Wright Ned Wright Financial Vice President Organizations 343 The executive branch reached out to more students with quality of life improvement boards. The SGA Presi- dent served on the Board of Supervi- sors and provided valuable input to the board regarding tuition increases and infirmary services. The Election Board of SGA put election procedures into a cohesive form. It is hoped that student elections in the future will be guided by better regulations than have been fol- lowed in the past. The executive branch coordinated a voter registration drive in the fall as well as improved ongoing student projects. Standard projects such as the SGA typewriter service, the Omsbudsman and lawyer referral serv- ice (under Bernard Duhon), and the Research Grant Committee continued to operate in 1976-77. A fledgling SGA Free Press will hopefully grow into a major campus publication providing space for any campus organization to publicize its projects. The judicial branch of SGA under Chief Justice Bob Sappenfield strode forward with revised and standardized rules of procedure. Unfortunately, the court had to handle an extraordinary number of difficult cases; however, in all cases the parties left court feeling they had been judged fairly. There are other projects and happy memories for the Student Government Association, but there are also the pit- falls connected with government. Ev- eryone on campus will remember the homecoming queen fiasco and the recall election of Ted Schirmer; how- ever, it is best to go beyond these things and consider the lessons learned and the positive aspects of student govern- ment. In ten years nothing will remain on campus except the good projects and programs. The bad vibrations and pettiness will pass away. Perhaps in twenty-five years your son or daughter will say, Mom, Dad, I ' ve decided to run for SGA President. When that happens, think of what they ' ll learn, what they ' ll have to give, and what they ' ll have to endure. If you laugh, keep it to yourself; but let them throw in their two bits for democracy. Stu- dent Government isn ' t only for ideal- ists and politicians, it ' s for everybody. by Dana Robert Dana Robert 344 Organizations Tommy Benoit. Bernard Duhon. Rick Plaeger.

As you may or may not be aware of it. there is a radio station on campus. Unfortunately, for the last decade it has only been broadcasting into the dormitories and therefore only serving the students who had to live on campus. Nice thought serving the students and everything, but over half of the students including faculty and staff live off campus. Something was lacking. A univer- sity the size of LSU was long over- due for a public airways medium, and last fall after much passing of the buck and snaggling of teeth the Media Board said yes to an FM Station for LSU. Now you ask. What does that mean? Well, for one thing the majority of the University commu- nity will have a radio station that will affect them directly. A ten watt FM Educational License will be granted by the Federal Communi- cations Commission when we show them that LSU is deserving. Ah, now you say educational license as you imagine listening to Spanish Packer 1001 followed by Remedial Read- ing with a work book that you fill out at home as you progress. Edu- cational and Public Service Pro- grams will have to be offered, but the majority of air time will be devoted to music, and it won ' t be long haired classical but music by everyone for everyone. Sounds democratic, doesn ' t it? It should be good progressive programming to fit everyone in the University from freshman to Ph.D. So now you ' re going to have a radio station, how proud you must be! You won ' t have to get up all hours of the night to feed it, it won ' t mess up your apartment, and you can talk back to it in fits of exam time depression. While it stretches its legs, bear with it. Help it along even though it may trip and stum- ble momentarily. LSU is making efforts to catch up with the broad- casting world, and with Marconi ' s help we can get this wireless con- traption off the ground and into the air where it belongs.

I wasn ' t sure what to expect. Were those guys going to give me the red carpet treatment I got during rush? No. they did not. and I ' m glad they didn ' t. That kind of treatment was a little unreal: rush is a little unreal. It goes by so fast that no one really knows what going on. And being told to pick a fraternity after one week of being told how great each one is isn ' t an easy task. I was glad it was over and was happy with my choice. Things started to get back to normal, and I began to get to know the people I would be around for the next few years. Ca macho Williams Camacho Greeks 395 There was a guy who got drunk the night before a test and aced it the next day, and a guy who had sworn off the drink in the name of the Lord. There were a few pre- meds with 4.0 ' s and some UC majors with 2.3 ' s. In other words, I found a variety of people from all walks of life. These people showed my pledge class what college was: studying, drinking, partying and trying to get a date for the next football game. Of course, there ' s much more to it than that, which we discovered as we grew older and wiser. Now that I ' m an aging senior of 22 years, I can look back at the good times and bad and say frater- nity life was worth it. It would be great to do it again. But, I don ' t know if I would last through too many more champagne breakfasts in one piece. We all enjoyed those early morning extravaganzas. Mann Camacho 396 - Meredith Wnght Mann 397 I think good times are healthy for an individual. It allows us to let go and forget about school for awhile. Whether getting together for a few beers or going to New Orleans f or the formal, we members find some- thing to do to take time to enjoy ourselves. A nice way to end the week was a good TGIF with a keg of beer and sorority girls, who aren ' t the pretty little dumb things some people make them out to be. I made many friends in sororities through chapter exchanges. So, no matter what you want to do, whether it ' s going to Florida for the weekend or across the river to Chuck ' s for a beer, there ' s usuaully someone around the house who will join you. Williams Mann 398 Creeks Though parties are good things. I found something more important in my fraternity life: friendship. Some of my best friends are fraternity broth- ers. It was good having someone to talk with when school seemed like too much or when other things were caus- ing problems. Also, having someone to pass the lime with helped keep me on the right track. I don ' t consider this buying friends. It did cost money to be a member, but I enjoyed the activi- ties and the house I helped pay for. The friends I made in the fraternity will be around for a long time. Camacho Camacho Camacho Greeks 399 Another thing I enjoyed while being an active member was talking with other brothers about religion, philosophy, history, politics and other areas like those that came up during bull sessions. We also talked about less serious but equally important subjects, like the best beer or the bar with the best looking girls. It was interesting to find out other views on matters. Fraternities aren ' t perfect. Some things need to be changed. I make no excuses for the way some frater- nity members conduct themselves. Also, traditions often need ques- tioning in order that those that no longer apply can be de-emphasized or dropped. I have seen my frater- nity change in the last four years, in most ways, for the better. I hope that the entire fraternity system will continue to keep up with our changing times. It will need to if it is to continue to prosper as it has in the past. - Greg Toney Williams Meredith 400 Creeks Camacho Mann Quicquid id est, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes. Virgil, Aeneid II, 49.

Student organizations participated transforming tents and live- stock stalls into restaurants and nightclubs serving Cajun cuisine and providing Cajun entertainment. Dur- ing the day various games, such as The Cajun Two-Step, Mr. and Ms. JAM-JAM contest, and the Pirogue Race fulfilled the Cajun theme Come Pass A Good Time. Last year ' s winners were Acacia and Delta Delta Delta for Sweepstakes, Concessions with Entertainment, and the Pirogue Race. Gamma Phi Beta won first place in Concessions, while Kappa Delta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon won first place in Entertainment. The winners in the games were Zeta Tau Alpha and Delta Tau Delta for Mr. and Ms. JAM-JAM, Delta Gamma and Alpha Tau Omega for the Crawfish Relay, and Theta Xi and Pi Beta Phi for the Cajun Two-Step. - Larry Hoskins 1 t T-shirt tickets S II Tim Pavelle Mann Tim Pavelle Tim Pavelle Williams Ford Meredith Greek Who ' s Who Robert Abercrombie Kappa Alpha Pauline Bettendorf Alphi Phi Alisa Blaize Chi Omega Gina Bradley Kappa Delta Sharon Butterworth Delta Delta Delta Kaye Carroll Phi Mu Chris Choppin Theta Xi Gary Clark Theta Xi John Clegg Phi Kappa Psi John Cole Theta Xi Ursalla Collins Zeta Phi Beta David Crane Acacia Bennett de Boisblanc Phi Kappa Theta David Hired Phi Delta Theta Sherry Ernest Pi Beta Phi Kathy Finley Alpha Omicron Pi George Fuller Acacia Michael Gauthier Alpha Gamma Rho Larry Hoskins Acacia David Howson Delta Upsilon Linda Kinman Delta Zeta Barry Landry Tau Kappa Epsilon Virginia Lazarus Alpha Epsilon Phi Cathy Lindsay Alpha Xi Delta David Mettz Kappa Sigma Laurence Moise Kappa Delta Steve Myers Delta Kappa Epsilon Margaret Spangenberg Delta Delta Delta Kathleen Van Geffen Phi Mu Elizabeth Wilson Delta Zeta Special Thanks to Randy Gurie.

' - . . m Leaving the LSU Campus riding north toward town on Nicholson Drive, one can ' t help but notice Magnolia Mound Plantation. The first view of the house is from the old flood plain of the Mississippi River. The house in on a higher level which is the original bank of the River. (It is a misnomer to imagine the house was actually con- structed on the mound for which it was named.) The beauty and integrity of this Louisiana home is apparent as one admires its graceful lines and its scenic location nestled as it is under stately oaks. (The history of this home and the people involved in building and operating a plantation of this size exists as in the past). Due to the timely intervention by the Matrons of Baton Rouge, this house was saved from demolition and plans to build apartment com- plexes. For Louisiana it is now a landmark of which to be proud. But what is the significance of such a site to LSU? Magnolia Mound is the basis for an interdisciplinary project. Many departments benefit by providing their students with the opportunity to acquire practical working knowl- edge in their chosen fields. Archaeology students, under the Ford direction of Dr. Haag, learn basic surveying and the fundamental methods for conducting an accu- rate, scientific excavation. Students interested in architecture history benefit by listening to Dr. Heck ' s account of Magnolia Mound as they move through the house. Mr. Bacot, acquisitions advisor for the plantation, teaches American Dec- orative Arts. His students glean first hand knowledge about the interior furnishing from the prima expert himself. Landscape students with Dr. Reich are working on a project involving the areas surrounding the house. Horticulture students and young historians have determined, through their research projects, which crops the plantation pro- duced, how many people were sup- ported and what its economic state was. Even small details such as the color of paint used to decorate the interior have been detected by stu- dents in their practical investiga- tions (through scholarly methods, of course!). Magnolia Mound provides a place for learning. The disciplines mentioned are but a few of those which may be pursued in so rich a laboratory as Magnolia Mound. Shelley Ford Ford 450 .

Cynthia Fowler, an LSU coed, was found dead in her room at Graham Hall Dormitory for women. After much confusion, publicity and many unconfirmed truths. a suspect was arrested. The jury convened at the scene on January 26. 1977 where Fowler was found in Graham. A mistrial was declared over the charges of first degree murder and aggravated rape when the jury could not reach a decision. AH photos by Rayncr Paul M. Hebert Not only was he a great teacher, but he was a great man and should have been president of LSU from the time I knew him until now. Former Governor John McKeithen is speaking of Dean Paul M. Hebert of the Law School, who died on February 3, 1977. Dr. Hebert began his career as an educator in 1930 at Loyola Univer- sity. He was named professor of law and dean of the law school in 1933 and remained at Loyola until 1936. He was named to the post at Loyola at the age of 24, probably the youngest law school dean in the United States. Dean Hebert began his LSU career as an assistant professor of law in 1931. During the Louisiana scandals of the late 1930 ' s and early 1940 ' s, which stemmed from financial irregularities at the univer- sity, he served as LSU ' s acting Pres- ident. Hebert was an Army lawyer during WWII. President Truman named him as a civilian judge in the Nuremberg war crimes trials in 1947. A long-lasting tidelands oil dis- pute between Louisiana and the federal government was settled when Hebert and a team of lawyers filed arguments with the Supreme Court during the administration of Gov. McKeithen. Dr. Hebert became dean of the LSU Law School in 1949. Two years later, he resigned to join a law firm, but in 1952 he returned to the office, until in 1957, when he resigned again. He again returned to his Law School post and retained his position until his death. The law school, along with the entire university, has suffered a great loss with the death of Dean Hebert. His outstanding achieve- ments and countless contributions to the university and to our state will long be remembered. 454 Troy H. Middle ton Dr. Troy H. Middleton, renowned military leader and out- standing administrator, died on October 9; 1976. Excluding time he served in the military. Middleton has served LSU for twenty-five years. He was assigned to the university as Profes- sor of Military Science and Tactics and Commandant of Cadets by the U.S. Army in 1930. Through the specific request of the University, his term was extended two years, during which time he served as Dean of Men. He has since served as Dean of Administration, Acting Vice-Presi- dent. Comptroller, and President of the University. General Middleton entered in the army as a private in 1910. He was commissioned as Second Lieuten- ant in 1912. He served until 1937, when he resigned to take the posi- tion of Dean of Administration at LSU. He was recalled to active duty, however, in WWII. He led the Eighth Corps through operations in France, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg during the invasion of Europe. Middleton ' s decision to hold Bastogne prompted Gen. George Patton to say, None of us will ever forget the stark valor with which you and your corps con- tested every foot of ground during German Commander Von Run- stedt ' s attack. Your decision to hold Bastogne was a stroke of genius. He was awarded numerous med- als for his military service, includ- ing the Distinguished Service Medal, the Silver Star and the Bronze Star. In December of 1950, General Middleton became LSU ' s thir- teenth president and the third gen- eral to hold the position. He was an advocate of military programs and higher teacher pay at LSU. During his first year as president, the first black students were enrolled in graduate programs. General Middleton retired from the Old War Skule in 1962. His leadership qualities and outstand- ing dedication have served as an inspiration to the University and to the military. Into the Shadows I. A grown-up child sits in the backseat. being led to a memory of a once-upon-a-time smile. But it ' s not there. and he knows it was. and he wants it back. With nowhere to turn. he loses himself in a shy sadness. not wanting them to know where he really is. II. I feel myself driven by a winding force that knows no answer but death. It reaches its uplifting fingers and raises me in spirit so that I must go where it leads, though I don ' t know why. For yet there is pain within life for no reason. I am pushed like a wave. and I need something to cling to. but we are all waves. and there is nothing strong enough to support me. I am a strain upon them. and I must leave. Where am I going? No one can know. - T. --.-- - ' III. I ' m leaving, he said, while he sat there remaining unmoved. I knew it was time to go. I had no right to be there, but still I stayed and waited for someone to nudge me on. I was powerless on my own. She turned to him and smiled. Interlocking her fingers with his, she squeezed his hand and reassured him with her eyes. She wants me to stay, I thought. But still he said, I ' m leaving, even though he didn ' t want to mean it. As his mind drifted from thoughts of coming to thoughts of going, his eyes secretly slanted to the sight of young petals uselessly clinging to their lifestems. How senseless they are, I thought, So many flowers grasping at life, not realizing that it has already been sheared away. The irony of the situation seemed to whisper. Why? Why here? Why now? Why do they hold their greatest beauty in passing? Why isn ' t it real? A dewy smile unconsciously crept out of his mouth and graced his face in competition with the enveloping blossoms. Without a scent of sense. his cheeks had borrowed the bloom of countless flowers powdered for the occasion. He blended well within them, so well indeed that he himself felt as though he were almost lost. He hoped and waited. But still no one saw into the shadows, to the emptiness within. They haven ' t found me, he thought. They ' ve got to find me. Otherwise I haven ' t really been here. 1 Si Already they were starting to leave. They meticulously folded their memories, their thoughts, their lives. into neatly piled stacks and delicately packed them into their minds. They mentally caressed each object, each possession too valuable to touch. They locked them away, carefully but coldly. as if they didn ' t want to get involved. As if they didn ' t want to risk the hurt. I ' m leaving, he said. No one seemed to notice; no one seemed to care. I watched as they glanced goodbyes at each other. I knew they were packing memories. Their eyes, always pleading for that one last look, told me so. I wondered which of them were collecting pieces of me. ft - r 9 The summer air had painted hopeful smiles on their saddened, weary faces. Always there was hope, but why? He wanted to shout at them. Touch me. please, before I ' m gone . before I have to die. But he couldn ' t. He wanted them always to stay. but he had to let them go. for he knew they were already gone. He watched them carefully as they began to fade away. Their smiles, already blurred and hidden in shadow, were lost to him. The last drop of setting sunlight was also lost, but just in time he caught a final rosy reflection in a darkened crystal eye. Or was it in the tear that he hoped was there? He didn ' t know, and he would never find out, for with the last glimmer of light had gone the last of his friends. Alone he stared into the darkness. I ' m leaving, he said, but there was no one to listen and hear my echo. I laughed hystericall y at the thought, but the noise was too much to bear. It seems that solitude forever demands silence. I looked into the darkness hoping to find one left-over image to nestle in my empty suitcase, but there was nothing left to take. They were all gone. All the bits and pieces that had been washed up together upon the shore, gone. Myself among them, forever lost and gone. They had chipped away at my facade and stolen the pearly pieces of my shell. Some of the chips were beautiful; others were crusty and gray. They took them all. each vying for the best piece, but not one of them realized that the best part was inside of the shell. He envisioned the faces of his friends, the shining smiles of sentiment which had finally blossomed as they ' d left. He tried to hide them in his heart. but they wouldn ' t stay. How could he keep a smile, a dream that wasn ' t dreamed for him? . : ' - He touched his hand where she had held it and tried to feel her warmth. His hand, her hand, together once. What difference did it make? That she ' d been there. that she had cared, that she had given life. I, he. We. No. me. Forever me. I wanted to cr . I ' ve got to leave. I ' ve got to go. Listen to me please. I ' m leaving now but the words weren ' t there. I didn ' t need them anymore. So I turned my back to the fallen sun. to the darkness of my past, and strode to greet the moon. - Teddy Ford 4fl Index AFROTC 335 AFROTC Staff 334 Absurd Person Singular 217 Acacia 410 Academics Division 73 Agri.
