LSU ' 77- ' 78 a year packed full of a little bit of everything. 24,880 students made the year what it was. Some added a lot, oth- ers hardly anything. The stadium expansion pushed for an August completion, the Vet- erinary School was complete, the Law School broke apart from LSU- BR and became the Law Center, while END was still looking for room. The Tigers made it to the Sun Bowl where they lost to Stanford and basketball fans had high hopes, but the team failed to make the NCAA playoffs.

(Schuhz) J 8D Roux The Board Determines Campus Policies What do Paul Grosser, the Law Center, football tickets and Marga- ret Jameson have in common? They represent just a few of the major topics debated by the Board of Supervisors this year. In October, the Board passed a resolution to reappoint Professor Paul Grosser to a tenured position on the faculty of the Political Sci- ence Department. Grosser had been fired in the spring of 1977 for failure to meet publication require- ments. The Board approved a plan for reorganization of the LSU Law Center in November. As a result, the Law Center was made a sepa- rate division of the LSU system. The Student Affairs Committee of the Board changed Dean Marga- ret Jameson ' s title from assistant vice chancellor of student affairs to dean of students and assistant vice chancellor of student affairs at the beginning of the spring semester. This move combined the formerly two separate positions of dean of men and dean of women. In February, the Board met and decided to maintain the present method of allowing students to attend football games for one more year. It had been suggested that stu- dents be required to purchase tick- ets for the games, rather than obtain free admission with their student ID cards. The Lobbying Commission of the SGA proposed a constitutional amendment during the summer ses- siqn to allow the student member of the Board to vote. The bill passed the state Senate and must be accepted by the House before going to the voters for final approval. Board of Supen isors 9 President Observes Past Decades I guess I ' ve been here all my life. Martin D. Woodin, president of the LSU system, has in fact been at LSU most of his adult life. He first came to LSU as an undergraduate in 1932 during the Huey Long years. After attending graduate school at Cornell University, Woodin returned to LSU to serve on the fac- ulty of the Department of Agricul- tural Economics. Excepting tour duty in the Navy, Dr. Woodin has been here ever since. His ascent into the upper lev- els of the University ' s administra- tion resulted in his succession of John Hunter as president in 1972. Having witnessed over four dec- ades of LSU history. President Woodin classifies the LSU student into five eras. According to the president, the students of the depression years were extremely serious in their studies, mainly due to the huge sacrifices necessary to attend school. The typical post World War II student was older, more than likely married, but equally as serious scholastically. The 50 ' s and early 60 ' s, accord- ing to Woodin, brought huge growth in the school ' s enrollment and the nation ' s economy. This affluence enabled the student to be somewhat less intent on his studies. The social unrest of the 60 ' s and early 70 ' s, Woodin said, brought to LSU the disruption and unrest that most of the nation ' s campuses wit- nessed. Civil rights and anti-Viet- nam demonstrations were the order of the day, according to the presi- dent. With the peace of the 70 ' s, Dr. Woodin observed that the student body has become more future-ori- ented and more traditional. President Woodin visualized LSU to be a University that teaches its students to become more active, productive citizens. He feels that the students should be trained so that they can help to upgrade Loui- siana and the country ' s level of leadership. 1. In 1960. Woodin was sent to Alexandria to sta rt the LSU-Alexandria campus and two years later was made the Executive Vice President of the LSU system. (Trufant) 2. Chancellor Paul Murrill received his Bachelor ' s degree at the University of Mississippi, and his graduate degrees at LSU in chemical engineering. (Schultz) 10 Roux an. I Itf vh sit Chancellor Expresses Optimism Extremely demanding. a greal deal of pressure. many frus- trations. the opportunity to be creative. and the best job in the LSI system was how Chancellor Paul Murrill described his work. After first coming to LSU as a graduate student in 1960. Murrill served as a faculty member and then head of the Department of Chemical Engineering from 1963 until 1969. For the following five years, he served as the Chief Academic Offi- cer for this campus. Murrill was appointed chancellor in 1974. As this campus ' s top official. Chancellor Murrill has expressed a great deal of interest in the Board of Regents Master Plan. I feel that it is the Board ' s responsibility to develop a long-range plan for the orderly effective development of higher education in the state. Mur- rill said. The chancellor regards the LSU student body as more mature, more conservative, and more serious than those of the past. Chancellor Mur- rill feels that the 24,000 sons and daughters of the people of Louisi- ana that make up the LSU student body are the most intelligent young people in the state.

The school, with a fall enrollment of 1453 does not however, consist of overeducated cowhands and farm- ers ' daughters, according to the dean. Only about seven per cent of our graduates go back to the farm, Hanchey said. A large majority go into managerial positions operating big agriculture businesses. The college is divided into departments with curricula ranging from soil science to merchandising. Most students in the college are here to specialize, according to Dean Hanchey. We ' ve always had a very conscientious body of stu- dents, Hanchey said. They ' re here for a definite purpose. The dean added that the job out- look was good for most prospective Ag graduates. He added that the only area in which students may have problems is home economics. Patricia Sailor, director of the School of Home Economics, stressed, however that jobs were available. You have to go where the job is, Sailor said. Sailor added that it was important that a home economist sell herself. In many cases, you have to go with the kind of attitude -- you may not want a home economist, but what you want done, I can do. The department has the largest enrollment in the college, with a fall enrollment of 450 students. Six cur- ricula are offered by the depart- ment: clothing and textiles, mer- chandising, dietetics, food and nutrition, family life and environ- ment, and vocational home eco- nomics education. The Department of Animal Sci- ence has the second largest enroll- ment in the college, with about 100 students. Paul Humes was appointed acting head of the department in November. George Robertson, who had been head of the department for 22 years, resigned from the position when he took over as Executive Director of Phi Kappa Phi, a national scholas- tic honorary fraternity. The department offers courses in four areas: beef cattle, sheep, swine and horses. On the whole, according to Humes, employment is not a prob- lem for students with degrees from the department. Generally, any student with a 2.5 or above GPA is very employable, Humes said. Most graduates go into extension service jobs, sales jobs or agri-busi- nesses.

It ' s a highly competitive field and it ' s going to be that way for a while, Hansbrough said. The director emphasized, however, that the for- estry student was receiving a pro- fessional degree and therefore qual- ified to enter a very structured pro- fession. The program offers five options: forest management, forest science, forestry and wildlife, industrial for- estry, and wood utilization. 1.

The Home EC Club (AHEA) printed up More than you think t-shirts in an effort to change the common misconception that Home Economics is an easy way out curriculum. Contrary to popular belief, home ec does not concern just sew- ing, cooking and babysitting, states Patricia Sailor, director of the school. Rather it concerns prob- lems of society today: adequate nutrition, the breakdown of the American family and efficient, effective resource usage. Merchandising, with 187 stu- dents as of the fall ' 77 semester, is the largest and fastest growing of the five Home EC curricula. It stresses courses in the life sciences, chemistry, business and speech, as well as the required Home EC courses. The students must learn all about the history of clothing, pro- motion, advertising, retailing, cloth- ing material s and clothing construc- tion. In Home EC 4035 students learn to design garments by draping them on mannequins.

Another course. Fashion Promo- tion (HEc 3045) teaches various sales and advertising techniques. The students are responsible for producing a fashion show. The fall class worked with the Bon Marche merchants to present Festive Lights. a fashion show with a Christmas holiday lights theme. The department recently devel- oped the opportunity for merchan- dising students to earn their elective credits by spending a semester in New York, the fashion capital of the world. The program, in con- junction with the Fashion Institute of Technology of New York, con- sists of a three-month period cram- med with concentrated study in clothing-related fields: factory methods, clothing and textile fabri- cation and on-the-job training. Each spring a week-long tour of the New York fashion industry is offered. It ' s an opportunity to meet the real fashion world of Seventh Avenue. Dee Wellan. a member of the merchandising faculty, arranges exclusive visits with retailers, designers, artists, fashion publica- tion companies, textile houses, fur- riers and cosmetic and pattern com- panies. After graduation, merchandising majors may find jobs in the boom- ing fashion industry as buyers, sell- ers, dressmakers, coordinators and consultants. So you see. it ' s more than vou think. 1.

Cul- ley. Associate Professor of Fisher- ies, and his fellow researchers may have a key solution to these prob- lems. The answer lies in duckweed - a little nuisance plant that kills fish and other marine life when it multiplies and cuts off the water system ' s oxygen supply. The tiny flower thrives on manure-polluted water, survives almost freezing temperatures, and doubles its mass in five days. This stubborn persis- tency can be used to man ' s advan- tage if channelled in the right direc- tions. In a two-year preliminary study funded by the Environmental Pro- tection Agency, a cycle was set up. Duckweed was gathered to feed to the dairy cows at the Agricultural Experimental Station. The cows liked the plant and were consuming a valuable protein source at the same time. The weed did not affect the qual- ity of their milk. The cow manure was then col- lected from the feed lots and taken back to the ponds to fertilize more duckweed. The weed cleansed the polluted water as it generated more feed for the cattle. Duckweed could prove to be the highest yielding animal feed yet. Some 7.85 tons of it could be pro- duced each year on a one-acre pond, roughly seven times more than the present feed crops. This same pond would be generating 5808 pounds of protein annually, ten times the amount given by soy- beans and Georgia peanuts. Duck- weed may prove to be as valuable a food source for people as for ani- mals, though it does contain some calcium oxalate, which is indigesti- ble by humans. The research group is currently awaiting a $13 million grant from the Department of Energy. Dr. Cul- ley hopes to enlarge the operation. Instead of returning all of the duck- weed manure to the pond, some would be allowed to ferment, then it would be converted into methane gas. Forty percent of the energy required for the total farming oper- ation could be supplied from fer- mented manure. If all the cattle manure produced annually in the United States (95 million metric tons) could be processed, it would produce four trillion cubic feet of methane or 18 percent of the nation ' s annual natural gas con- ] sumption. According to Culley, this method of methane production is a simple and inexpensive operation. One drawback in the whole proc- ess was that the tiny plants can be easily blown into a heap on the shore. This was solved in the pilot project by using barriers and atta- ching nylon reinforced plastic to fenceposts across the pond. Duckweed is already a valuable nutrient and protein source for ani- mals and may be a food source in the future for humans. It could become the cleansing agent for municipal and industrial waste dis- posal operations. In addition, it may produce enough fermented manure to supply the nation with methane gas. Researchers at LSU are hoping that duckweed will be the genesis of almost wholly self-contained, food producing, energy-generating, waste-cleaning system.

Sure, they learn to milk cows. That, along with some other basics, such as showing and identifying different types of cows, is taueht in Dairv Science courses 1048 and 1049. Dairy science students also learn about milk processing and judging milk quality. If their homework is done well, they could be chosen to represent LSU on the university ' s Dairv Products Judging Team. LSD ' s Dairy Improvement Cen- ter works with various breeding techniques and artificial insemina- tion. Research of the dairy cow ' s feed requirements and digestive system is conducted in the Nutri- tion and Ruminology labs. LSU also produces its own milk, ice cream, cheese, and butter. The Dairy Science student can learn by doing since LSU owns its entire dairy plant, along with one of the best college dairy herds in the south: 350 Holsteins. Fresions. and Jerseys, which, by the way. need to be milked every day. The Dairy Science Club is responsible for selling the Tiger- Bait ice cream and the Christmas eggnog. Last year they sponsored their first annual LSU All-Ameri- can Dairy Showmanship Show. Sixty-five students trained calves from the LSU milking herd to be judged for standing, leading, and grooming. The dairy science major can earn his degree in Dairy Manufacturing, Dairy Production, or Environmen- tal Health. He is qualified to work in research labs, classrooms, dair- ies, dairy plants, and governmental agencies. Contrary to popular belief, the dairy science graduate is not limited to working down on the farm or out in the cow pas- ture. 1.

Bocckman Agriculture 19 Colleae of Arts and Sciences The Educated Man Emerges What is the goal of the College of Arts and Sciences? According to John Weaver, Associate Dean of the college, its goal is to produce the educated man. A liberal edu- cation entails a familiarity with works of art, literature, music, and philosophy - - works which tell us something of what it is to be an aesthetic and ethical creature. His- torical and social studies give the student a historical and cultural perspective and introductory sci- ence courses give the student some background and some appreciation of scientists ' methodologies. But in today ' s highly technologi- cal society, of what value is a liberal education? According to Irwin Berg, dean of arts and sciences, Technical knowledge is quickly outdated. An individual must be able to grasp broader concepts. A liberally educated person has a breadth and a scope that a techni- cian does not have, Berg said. Academic interests in the college have changed through the years, according to Berg. In 1956, the Sputnik was fired off by the Rus- sians. Nationwide alarm ensued; consequently, there was a huge rise in announced majors in physics and mathematics. Everyone wanted to be a space scientist. Another trend occurs every four years during an election year. The number of enter- ing students who plan to major in political science doubles, Berg said. Of course, most of these stu- dents change their minds. More than half the students enrolled in the college change their majors at least once, Berg said. Today, the School of Journalism is experienc- ing a popularity. What is the rea- son for this upsurge of future jour- nalists? Woodward and Bernstein and the Nixon scandal. Everybody wants to be an investigative reporter and expose some great injustice. The journalism school, in fact, held the largest enrollment in the college in the fall semester a total of 375 students. The school offers three areas of specialization: news editorial, advertising, and broad- casting. Although the school has undergone a somewhat negative evaluation by an accrediting com- mittee in 1977, Ronald Hicks, director of the J School, contended that the department was one of the best in the south. Our graduates have done very well, Hicks said. He added that the job outlook was very good here, although inexperi- enced journalists in some areas of the country were having difficulty findingjobs.

In fact, since 1961. the ear that Walter Harman, chair- man of the department, first came to LSU. enrollment in the depart- ment has more than doubled. According to Harman. however. The majority of the undergradu- ates in zoology are pre-professional. that is. pre-med, pre-dent. or pre- vet. There is not much of a job mar- ket for an undergraduate degree in zoology. Harman said. The mar- ket for a graduate of Med School or the other professional schools are. of course, fantastic. How is the job outlook for politi- cal science majors? According to Cecil Crabb. chairman of the politi- cal science department, many go to graduate school or law school after graduation. According to Crabb. Vocational orientation is one of the least important reasons for studying political science. The emphasis here is on education, on learning per se. No matter what kind of job you hold, you are still a citizen. A political science educa- tion is extremely valuable as it makes one an informed, enlight- ened citizen. Governments have broadened their activities in the last 50 years and are involved in even program, into virtually every sphere of life. Just as every individual must deal with the government, so must he deal with people. According to Lau- rence Siegel. chairman of the psy- chology department, a psychology degree is a good liberal arts degree for preparation for living. Even- one has to deal with people. Siegel said. An undergraduate degree in psy- chology, however, is not a profes- Dr. John LarVJn photographed bacteria for use in his microbiolog) classes. (Badeaux) 2.

About 10% get a Ph.D.. a number go to law school, and a number go to medical school. The most positive employment opportunities for an arts and sci- ences student with an undergradu- ate degree exist for students in the Geology Department and the Geography and Anthropology Department, according to Dean Berg. A liberal education can afford the student valuable knowledge for a lifetime and a broader scope nec- essary for any job. according to Berg. As a matter of fact.

Su an B Slevcn Boutl Arts and Sciences 21 Grosser: Publish or Perish The Great Tenure Controversy The Baton Rouge Enterprise called the dispute the great LSU tenure controversy ; George Cot- ton of the Morning Advocate dub- bed it the publish or perish poli- cy ; and political science professor Paul Grosser quietly conceded it was a rip-off. What was the dispute? In late spring of 1977, the University administration announced its plans to terminate Assistant Professor Paul Grosser of the Political Sci- ence Department for allegedly fail- ing to meet publication require- ments in his department. The department had been under pres- sure from the administration to improve its academic standing, as the Board of Regents had discov- ered severe weaknesses in the department. Among the weaknesses were the publication records of the department ' s professors. Grosser ' s record was apparently the first to be questioned in the upgrading of the department. During the summer, the Student Government Association passed a resolution supporting Grosser as a professor of higher education. By August, after the administration and the College of Arts and Sci- ences failed to adequately act on the issue, the subject was brought before the Board of Supervisors for a final decision on Grosser ' s future at the University. A number of Board members were absent from the meeting. The attending mem- bers voted to terminate Grosser. Horrified at the decision, stu- dents rallied to support the profes- sor. Letters to the Reveille poured in and discussion of the firing was rampant on campus. The Reveille investigated tenure applications at the University. In a copyrighted story, the newspaper revealed that tenure policies at the University were highly inconsistent. While one professor may be required to pub- lish, another might not be asked to do anything more than teach. About the requirement of profes- sors to publish, one professor said, Out of 1500 professors, perhaps 500 have never published a single work. With the Political Science Department ' s and the administra- tion ' s failure to act on the issue of the Grosser case, the Board had been forced to enter into the con- troversy. Ironically, the administra- tion would come to condemn the Board for participating in the case. The Board made an educational issue a political issue, said admin- istration spokesman Otis Wheeler, vice chancellor for academic affairs. By late September, the contro- versy had mushroomed and local newspapers and stations had given the issue community-wide atten- tion. SGA President Jay Dardenne jumped on the bandwagon. Dard- enne, a nonvoting member on the Board of Supervisors, lobbied behind the scenes and managed to ally with board member Camille Gravel of Alexandria to bring the Grosser issue back before the Board for reconsideration. Boyd Professor T. Harry Williams said that the students had no business 1. When the Board gave Grosser the choice of returning in the fall or spring, Grosser chose a fall return. The assistant professor scheduled his popu- lar Political Science 1001 class and a senior course on United State political parties. (Zietz) 22 Roux getting into personnel issues of the University. They (the students) don ' t understand tenure, Williams said. Otis Wheeler explained that the real question behind the tenure controversy was the existence of the tenure system itself. The definition of tenure was found in a document the adminis- tration labeled Policy Statement 36. Here tenure was defined as the condition of indefinite appointment to a faculty rank. The administra- tive guideline stated: The candi- date ' s (for tenure) education record, evaluations by qualified col- leagues of his performance and future potential in teaching and research of creative activity, as well as his commitment and dedication to the goals of the University and the department should be the prin- cipal grounds for judgment. The document proved to be extremely complicated and confus- ing at various points but eventually the point forced its way into focus: the department was the key element in tenure consideration. In the Grosser case, the department neg- lected to act and by passing the issue along, the case finally ended with the Board of Supervisors, where it would remain an item on the Board ' s agenda. Finally in late September the Board met again and on its agenda was the reconsideration of Gros- ser ' s termination. The impact the firing had had on the University and the community was evident as the room was filled with Grosser supporting students and Boyd pro- fessors outraged at the reconsidera- tion. The question of reopening the Grosser case was submitted to the Board. In a series of parliamentary maneuvers. Camille Gravel skill- fully guided the reconsideration vote and avoided discussion of the issue a second time. Grosser was rehired. The Board of Supervisors reinstated him and Grosser returned to his faculty posi- tion in the fall. Pi- Boudreai; Thomas Bou rei- Janet Boudreaux J taper Boudreaux Kjm Boudrea.;!

Many journalism students bla- tantly observed that it should not, but secretly and selfishly hoped that it would. But recent graduates could breathe a sigh of relief LSU ' s School of Journalism was fully re- accredited by the Ame rican Coun- cil of Education for Journalism in early May of 1978. The school now holds the status of being the only council-accredited program in Louisiana. In the past, the school held the prestige of being only one of two such accredited schools in an immediate four-state area. However, along with LSU ' s re-accreditation came the accredi- tation of the University of Ala- bama, University of Arkansas-Lit- tle Rock, and University of Arkan- sas-Fayetteville ' s journalism pro- grams. Full accreditation had been with- held from LSU ' s school during the 1977-78 academic year. The school instead received a one-year proba- tion for that period. The council had criticized the news editorial and advertising cur- ricula in April of 1977, saying that the faculty suffered from too much in-breeding. Inbreeding refers to hiring a majority of a campus ' s fac- ulty from among the campus ' s own graduates or from a particular uni- versity favored by the campus. Three of the faculty have been replaced by professors who were graduated from other universities. Ronald Hicks, Journalism School director, earlier had said the sugges- tions made by the accreditation committee ranged from very trivial things such as the spacing on the Associated Press teletype machine in the Reveille office to major revi- sions in curricula. The accreditation committee had also criticized the quality of stu- dents majoring in journalism, some of whom it said lackdd a knowl- edgeable background in current events and journalistic happenings. The school ' s news editorial cur- riculum resumed its full accredita- tion. The program, until its accredi- tation was withdrawn during the probationary period, had been accredited as long as the journalism education council has existed. For the first time, the advertising curriculum is now accredited by the council. The school will seek accredited status for its relatively new broad- casting curriculum after new facili- ties are in operation. Since the school does not have enough mod- ern broadcasting equipment to qualify for accreditation in that field. Hicks said, the school will wait until a communications center. to be located in Coates Hall, is completed. Originally scheduled to be in full operation for the fall of 1978, the center will probably not be com- pleted until sometime in 1980. Financing and architectural prob- lems are contributing factors to the major delay. Major curriculum changes went into effect August 1978. Changes included a reduction of required journalism credit hours from 36 to 32, or 25 per cent of the total curric- ulum. Other revisions included requiring journalism majors to minor in any field. The three degree programs news editorial, adver- tising and broadcasting are now- more distinct from one another by having fewer common courses among the curricula. The accreditation is valid for six years. ft Of) o Mjckad Broasard Pltrick BKxmard Piol Broustard Rot ert Brwissard Ronnie ofOus Uu Valerie Brouaud Peggy Brooacm Arts) I Sciences 25 Abbie Brown Bernatle Brown Craig Brown Cynthia Brown Denise Brown Ernest Brown Jan Brown Kathehnc Brown Kim Brown Mark Brown Melissa Brown Yvonne Brown Mary Bruce Monica Bruce Brenda Brugier Charles Brunei Charles Brunett David Bryant Patrick Bryant Bhan Bubrig Keith Buccota Jenny Buck Susan Buck Kathleen Buckley Clifton Buller Kathryn Bulhard Pamela Burchfield Sherrill Burgdorf Amy Burgess Melva Burgess Racbelle Burtt Bryan Burkenstock Lloyd Burkenstock Terry Burkett Jeff Burnham John Burnitt Bryan Burns II!

Of course, students will have problems, Woodland said. But for good students, the job market is great. The strong demand for business students accounts for the enroll- ment increases every year. Accord- ing to Woodland, the number of students increases about seven per cent each year. The accounting and finance departments have shown particularly large increases, Wood- land said. Associate Dean Lamar Jones commented on the overall quality of the business programs. I think that the school is one of the leading business schools hi the South and Southwest, along with the U.T. and S.M.U. business schools, Jones said. The school has made a number of improvements this year, accord- ing to Dean Woodland. The Uni- versity courses and curriculum committee has been asked to revise the office administration curricu- lum. We will make the curriculum reform to the standards of the col- lege, which will require more math, more quantitative methods, and more of the core courses of the bus- iness administration college, Woodland said. A new economics course is being added at the freshman level. The course will be dealing with current economic issues trying to attract more students, Woodland said. An interesting addition to the faculty was made this year. Dr. Edwin Timmons, one of the most popular professors on campus and previously a Psychology Depart- ment faculty member, transferred to the College of Business Adminis- tration. The college offers 16 programs. The Department of Accounting holds the largest enrollment by far, with a spring enrollment of approx- imately 750 students. What accounts for the depart- ment ' s popularity? Jobs, said Vincent Brenner, chairman of the department. Starting salaries for accountants range up to $14,000, Brenner said. There ' s a great opportunity for advancement. Within 10 years, he can expect to be making $75,000 as a public or an industrial accoun- tant. Brenner added that the depart- ment is also working on the estab- lishment of a School of Accoun- tancy. It ' s a new thing in the accounting world, Brenner said. We will still be under the College of Business Administration; how- ever, we will be a little more auton- omous and hopefully attract higher quality students and more funds. About 380 students were enrolled in the general business administra- tion curriculum this year. According to Associate Dean Jones, a degree in general business administration is equally as market- able as a degree in management or marketing. Dean Woodland, however disa- greed about the job opportunity for the general business major. It ' s a good degree, but these stu- dents have more trouble finding jobs. The general business adminis- tration curriculum is intended for the student who has not yet decided what he will major in. The third largest department, with an enrollment of about 360, is the Marketing Department. Patricia Cran Brian Cranford Margery Crawford Sammye Crawford Brian Credo Felicia Creel Lorene Cresson Tony Crifasi John Crochet 28 Roux According to Associate Professor Al Burns, marketing includes all those activities which connect the business firm with its market, such as advertising, distribution, and pricing policies. We have revised our curriculum entirely, focusing on job skills for undergraduates. We teach them about the real world problems. Burns said. For example, in one course, we divided into teams that work for local businesses, studying the problems that the business may be facing and attempting to provide solutions. We have worked with Piccadilly Cafeteria, Cohn-Turner and Art Colley Audio Specialties, among others. Lee Richardson, former chair- man of the department and acting chairman during the 1976-77 school year is on leave in Washington. D.C. working as an assistant to Esther Peterson.

I 30 Roux Part-time Staff Handles a Full-time Job Not many students know about it, or about the work that gets done there. But the small part-time staff of the Business Administration Research Division is a dedicated crew for Engineering and Business Administration. Research contracts from various federal, state and private agencies result in a diversity of projects for the staff of four to handle. One project involves determining what would happen if the old river control structure on the Mississippi fails; another deals with the social and economic characteristics of bay shrimpers in coastal parishes, and another concerns the financial capabilities of state school districts. Dr. David B. Johnson, director of the division, is also an economics professor. He has taught at LSU for 1 1 years, dividing his time between teaching and the Research Division for the last three years. Research tops Johnson ' s list of the many duties of the division. The staff is also responsible for the monthly publication of the Louisi- ana Business Review, a university- funded magazine with a monthly subscription of 4,000. The Research Division provides a library with published data sources for faculty members and students. This has been increased by 50 per cent in the last three years, said Johnson. We provide computer services and consultants to the entire fac- ulty, Johnson added. We provide graduate assistants to students for work on various research projects. We answer from 25 to 30 inquir- ies a week from businesses and state officials regarding data. We publish a quarterly consumer price index for Baton Rouge, he said. Lawrence Scott, the division ' s associate director, Terry Robertson and a number of graduate students staff the division. Faculty mem- bers may be called in on an extra- compensation basis or on a free- time basis, Johnson said. Johnson felt that the major prob- lem of his division is that the staff needs enlarging. We could use a full-time staffer or two, on a tenure contract. It is difficult to schedule faculty members for research projects when they don ' t get any academic credit, he explained. We ' ve lost other workers because of the inse- curity of the position. Johnson felt that the overall qual- ity of the work done by the division is pretty good. We generally try to do a professional, competent job. Research projects are very com- petitive, he said. LSU has a good image generally in the state because we only ask competent faculty to get involved in projects. The research division refused to take projects involving partisan dis- cussions. We won ' t take law suit studies or an electric utilities study for the Public Service Commis- sion, Johnson said with a smile. If it ' s attractive and we have someone with an interest in work- ing on it, then we take the work. Generally on the state and city level, we do the best we can, he said. 1. In addition to directing the Business Adminis- tration Research Division, Dr. Johnson taught a night class in public finance in the spring semester. (Baroody) 2. Marian Lawrence, who has been with the Division of Research since 1958, worked as managing editor on the Louisiana Business Review. (Long) Johnson said most of the feed- back from institutions has been positive. The average number of contracts varies. In the past two years, we have been working on three or four at any one time, he said. Other needed improvements cited by Johnson included a better budgetary situation. We want to project LSU into an area of provid- ing research services for the state. We need an active, visible, applied, competent research service with state and local government, he stated. Johnson felt the quality of their monthly magazine needed improve- ment. This will happen only when the faculty either gets paid for writ- ing articles or they are given profes- sional recognition for the work, he explained. We are very, ve ry, active here, Johnson said. We produce aver- agely more academic articles among the staff than all faculty members. We have greatly expanded ser- vices in spite of a budget decrease in the last three years, Johnson said. The Research Division was located in Room 202 of Himes Hall but has moved their office to the new CEBA building. Business Administration 31 1. The $12.5 million CEBA building combined the engineering and business schools under one roof. 2. Vice Chancellor for Administration Lynn Pes- son estimated a yearly heating and air-condition- ing bill for the new building at $500,000. 3. Pesson said that it would take at least $200,000 a year to maintain the new structure. (Photos by Baroody) Wendell David Joe!

But no problems such as golf balls crashing through the windows of the Center for Engineering and Business Administration (CEBA) are anticipated. Lynn Pesson, vice chancellor for administration, thinks the building is a fantastic structure. Lamar Jones, associate dean of the College of Business Administra- tion, believes it is an especially nice facility for students. And Richard Matula speaks for the College of Engineering in say- ing, We couldn ' t be more pleased. Why is everybody so happy? Because the College of Business Administration and most of the College of Engineering moved into CEBA this summer, giving Pesson and the administration a lot of space to work with by spreading out the other academic departments. CEBA is a rectangular-shaped building with 310,000 square feet of interior space. The center houses 310 offices, 86 laboratories, 39 classrooms, 6 shops, and 2 com- puter input-output centers. A $12.5 million appropriation from the state was supplemented by more than $4 million in private funds to complete CEBA. With the move of the College of Business Administration, Himes Hall was not vacant long. The departments of History and Law Enforcement, University College and Student Aid took over the offices. The English Language Orienta- tion Program was then moved to the basement of Himes. The His- tory Department ' s move from Allen Hall gave more space to the crowded English Department, Pesson said. We ' ve had a 50 per cent jump in student population in the late 60 ' s and the early 70 ' s from 18.000 students to 25,000 with the same amount of space, Pesson explained. The completion of CEBA relieved much of that need for space, he said. The Departments of Chemical Engineering and Electri- cal Engineering and the engineering shop stayed where they were before. Atkinson Hall is now used mainly by the Department of Architecture. The Mechanical Engineering Building and part of the engineering shops area are used by fine arts and interior design. The office and classroom space for the colleges of Business Admin- istration and Engineering were intermingled. Jones feels that it is nice to share different views with colleagues. Jones is particularly excited about the architectural structure of CEBA. It reminds me of the Union, which I ' ve always felt was a beautiful building. The students were not left out of the design, he said. There is a stu- dent lounge, a huge reading room and two courtyards. Now students will have somewhere to go between classes instead of sitting on a hard slab of cement. Matula believes the combination of the two colleges into one build- ing gives us the opportunity for increasing progressive development between engineering and business. Speaking of CEBA itself, Matula said that it took them about 30 sec- onds to get used to the new build- ing. This will result in an increased image and a good jump in morale, Matula said.

A major departmental and administrative reorganization was made effective July 1, 1977. A new Department of Industrial Engineer- ing has been formed, while two old departments, the Engineering Sci- ence and the Engineering Graphics departments, have been phased out. Engineering science faculty mem- bers have been reassigned to either the Civil or Mechanical Engineer- ing departments, and Engineering Graphics faculty have joined the Industrial Engineering department. The reorganization was designed to enhance the two primary college functions: undergraduate and grad- uate education, and research and public service. Two new associate dean positions were created to administer these areas: Professor Bernard Pressburg was appointed to the instruction and undergradu- ate activities position and Professor Charles Whitehurst was made asso- ciate dean of research and graduate activities. With the reorganization, Dean Matula hoped to achieve his two major goals; to continue to strengthen the undergraduate pro- grams and to develop regional and national recognition for graduate activities and research. How does the school fare among the nation ' s top engineering schools? According to Associate Dean Pressburg, the school turns out an excellent product. The dis- ciplines are accredited by the National Accreditation Group of Engineering, Pressburg said. Another indication of our effi- ciency is the success our graduates meet in getting employment. Statis- tically, more than 90% of those looking for jobs have them by the time they receive their degree. The other 10% get them a short time thereafter. Most have several jobs waiting, Pressburg added. In the fall of 1977, the College of Engineering registered 1,594 under- graduates a 20 per cent increase over 1976 and a 67 per cent increase since 1974. The Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engi- neering, and Mechanical Engineer- ing departments carry the most weight in the school. Each depart- ment has an enrollment of about 300 students; the total of all four departments consisting of about 80 per cent of the school ' s enrollment. William Porter assumed the chairmanship of the Electrical Engineering Department in August of 1978. Recent curriculum changes in the department included a com- puter engineering option and minor prerequisite adjustments. According to Porter, much improvement is possible in the department, relying mainly on badly-needed funding for addi- tional equipment, student teaching assistantships, and faculty salaries to handle increasing enrollment, which, Porter said, has increased about 65 per cent in the last year. The curriculum of the Civil Engi- neering Department was revamped during the 77-78 school year, according to Ara Arman, head of the department. An additional three-hour technical elective, a three-hour free elective and a three- hour science elective were added. In addition, more requirements in English composition and manage- ment courses were added. A rearrangement in undergradu- ate labs was the only significant curriculum change in the Chemical Engineering Department, accord- ing to Douglas Harrison, chairman. Interesting occurrences in research, however, are evidenced by the vast number of ongoing pro- jects. One project involves Profes- sors Callihan, McLaughlin, and Groves in the study of the genera- tion of methane from waste materi- als. The project is being conducted in conjunction with the Chemistry Department. 1.

No, they ' re not just there for WAFB weatherman Pat Shingleton to gog- gle at even, night on the weather report. Those satellites actually serve many useful purposes. And upon NASA ' s request, a team of LSU scientists are currently adding to the list. Dr. Charles A. Whitehurst. asso- ciate dean of engineering for gradu- ate studies and research has been involved with the development of research projects at LSU for 14 years. He is currently in the process of developing the NASA project. The project concerns remote sens- ing through the use of satellites. NASA has funded Whitehurst on numerous projects since 1965. with a total of some two million dollars. Whitehurst and hi s programs have attained a reputation for excellence which keep NASA coming back. Dr. Whitehurst is the principal , investigator and program manager of the project. Dr. Ozer Arnas. pro- fessor of mechanical engineering. and Dr. John Ristroph, associate professor of industrial engineering are all working with Dr. White- hurst. The primary goal of this project is to develop readily transferable methodologies and. educational materials that are designed to pro- vide the basic principles of remote sensing technology. It deals specifi- cally with the transfer of satellite technology, Dr. Whitehurst said. Whitehurst added that the grant is not a research grant. This is not research. We ' re not doing any research. This is an educational grant if you want to call it that. The team will be developing the textbooks and documentation. They will take the computer pro- grams that are available and put them in terms of how to use them. We ' ll bring people in and show them how to use it.

Looking for solutions to the energy crunch seems to be every- body ' s concern today. Among LSU professors jumping on the band- wagon is Dr. William J. Bernard, associate professor of petroleum engineering. Bernard is the princi- pal investigator of a project con- cerning investigations on the geopressure energy resource of south Louisiana. Doctors Zaki Bas- siouni, petroleum engineering, Rex Pilger and Donald Kupfer, geology, are working on the project along with a half a dozen geologists who work for the state government. Who is providing the funds? The U.S. Department of Energy is fund- ing the project at about $375,000 for two years. Dr. Bernard explained that the process works by producing hot geopressured water through a deep well, much like an oil well. The water is then used to run a hydrau- lic turbine to produce electricity. More natural gas is then separated from the water before the water goes to a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger uses the heat from the water to boil a binary fluid which in turn runs another turbine. The temperature of the water depends on how deep the well is dug. The temperature could range from 250 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Pressure could range from 1000 to 5000 pounds per square inch. Wells would have to be drilled anywhere from 12,000 to 18,000 or 20,000 Greg Dial Alison Dias Kathryn Diaz Angle Dibencdetto Kellie Dickinson Brian Dickmann Richard Dieter Timothy Dietrich James Dillon a 38 Roux 1? . ; feet. There is a band of this geopressured water running from the Texas border to Jefferson Par- ish and from the coast inland about a hundred miles. When the study began two years ago, the main objective was to pro- duce electricity. The price of natu- ral gas was stable then. Now the price of natural gas has rocketed and the main objective is to remove the natural gas from solution with the water. The production of elec- tricity has become a by-product. Each well could cost around five million dollars. The conventional gas will cost about the same amount of money but produce much more natural gas, yet no elec- tricity. We know the energy ' s there, Bernard said. We know how to get it and how to use it The only prob- lem is economics. 1. Besides working on his geopressure projects.

The Louisiana Constitution of 1974 required the Board of Regents to develop a long-range plan for the orderly, effective development of higher education in the state. The Master Plan is the product of the Board ' s work. As stated in the plan ' s foreword, the document represents the Board of Regents ' philosophy of higher education. It also contains numerous recommen- dations for action to implement the Board ' s philosophy and to provide for orderly growth and develop- ment under, at the least, present levels of funding, and at best, opti- mum levels of funding. The most important aspect of the plan is its designation of the states ' public higher institutions into cate- gories. The Baton Rouge LSU campus is set up as the state ' s comprehensive university, continuing to offer a wide range of programs at the undergraduate, graduate and pro- fessional levels. All other schools in the state are designated as senior colleges, only offering graduate programs on a limited basis, or as two-year colleges, featuring open admission and low tuition. Chancellor Paul Murrill has rec- ognized the need for this plan for several years. Murrill feels that it is 1. Under the Master Plan, LSU is set up as the state ' s comprehensive university. (Wozniak) 2. Chancellor Paul Murrill has supported the plan and has recognized the need for a categorical approach to the state ' s universities and colleges. (Daniel) a most important blueprint for the state. According to Murrill there should be differences in the thrust, programming, and difficulty, not just in location of our state ' s schools of higher learning. He also recognized a need to eliminate costly duplication in some pro- grams noting that Louisiana has five separate engineering schools. Perhaps the most costly aspect of Louisiana ' s higher education is that the schools are trying to be copies of each other, duplicating numer- ous programs both on undergradu- ate and graduate levels, said Mur- rill. The chancellor also noted that the legislature and the governor have final say for any changes that the Master Plan might call for. The legislature has the ability to pass laws that are inconsistent with the Master Plan. Chapter one of the Master Plan lists its goals. The plan states that citizens should have equal access to institutions of higher education and that all citizens should receive equal opportunity to achieve their indi- vidual goals. The Master Plan recognizes a need for diversity in programs offered and that the system should be responsive to the needs of the state and its citizens. Other goals of the plan include equitably distrib- uted financial support throughout the state and cooperation between the state ' s public and private schools. 42 Roux Christian Garcia MfttGraT Sopo Garcia Sr Karen Gurod Joho Carver James Gales JOlGaudei Grrlchcn Gaupp Susan GauDuer iotepk Gautreau lau-pk GaKlrcau James Gauirea-x EdwaGayle Janes Gayk Kathanoe Gear Gregcc Grip Roberta Gtlp, GngerGewge Renea Geoc j MaslerPlan 43 44 Roux Shelta George James Gerace James Gergrecht Roherl Gernand Danna Gerrets AsgharGhazia Joeylynn Giamalva Lloyd Gianelloni Peter Giarrusso Favorite Professor Gloria Sasek Personalizes Classes Gloria Sasek belongs to a rare breed of professors at LSU - - she remembers her former students, often, on a first-name basis. Perhaps that is why the students voted her Favorite Professor in the Gumbo-sponsored contest. The petite English professor is often seen, saddled under books and papers, walking down the sec- ond floor of Allen Hall, talking to a student or to her husband Law- rence, who also teaches English. Her classes are dotted with stu- dents she has previously taught in other English courses, students who relate to her friendliness, and teach- ing methods that encourage even the shyest freshman to voice his interpretation. Writing is a hard, demanding, frustrating taskmaster who can eas- ily drive a student into a state of semi-muteness. Mrs. Sasek felt. I try to make the student feel that he is respected comma splices, miss- pelled words and all. I feel that in a course where a person must create, when he is required to expose his thoughts, he should not be made to feel inade- quate. She teaches freshmen and sopho- more writing and introductory liter- ature courses, including several honors sections, and has done so at LSU for 15 years. A student should not only learn to write bet- ter, but also become a better judge of what he reads, to be able to judge 1. Sasek was voted the 1978 Favorite Professor over 25 over nominated professors. 2. Gloria Sasek ' s favorite hobbies included reading and gar- dening. (Photos by Meredith) and evaluate the words that are bombarding his senses, she explained. You can ' t separate the classes. I thoroughly enjoy working with them all, she replied when asked which age group of students she enjoyed working with most. Although she said she couldn ' t single out a favorite author, Wil- liam Faulkner ranked at the top. Absalom, Absalom is her favorite Faulkner work. Sophomores, and particularly, freshmen, find Faulkner difficult, she said. But I do thinks students come to appreciate his style and message, since he is a Southern writer. Mrs. Sasek is not a native of the South, but is from Springfield, Mas- sachusetts, where she attended high school and later returned to get a Master ' s Degree in education from Springfield College. She earned her Bachelor ' s Degree at Mary Washington Col- lege of the University of Virginia, and her Master ' s at Radcliffe, where she met Lawrence Sasek. Just like in the movie Love Story , the two met in Widener Library on the Harvard University campus, in a room containing a col- lection of English literature. Many English majors had both Dr. and Mrs. Sasek as teachers. Students think we know much more about each other ' s work than we actually do, Mrs. Sasek said, but we ' re pretty separate. We never intentionally look at each other ' s class rosters and compare the students. We generally don ' t even teach the same classes, except on rare occasions, she added, explaining that her husband teaches more advanced English courses. Mrs. Sasek also studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and the Univer- sita per Stranieri in Perugia, Italy. She does not think that LSU is behind other large state universities in academics, rather, it has a fine, excellent national reputation. She also thinks the English Department is a very good department, with fine scholars and teachers. And the students at LSU? Many, many students at LSU are eager to learn and are highly moti- vated, she felt, and all are differ- ential to learning. I don ' t think there ' s much difference between students today and when I was in school. She felt that the grading system was here to stay for a long time, although the emphasis in her and her husband ' s classes is not on grades, but on the learning process. Without a grade, would a student really learn more? she mused. Is he going to pay attention to the teacher ' s full comment? I don ' t know; I ' ve given it a lot of thought, she said. Mrs. Sasek, after surveying many of her students found out that most of the students preferred the detailed evaluations of their work that she takes the time to provide. However, she said, if a letter grade of A is given to a theme or other written work, that ' s the end for many students, who only care about their grades.

Brace Hicks Karen Hicks Academics Classes 47 Competition Brews Between Departments There is friendly competition brewing among the four depart- ments in the College of Chemistry and Physics as to which has the most ambitious, hard-working stu- dents with the highest grade point averages. There ' s no question the most established departments on campus are chemistry and physics and astronomy, said R. G. Hussey, associate dean of the college since 1971. All of our departments have good programs and do a large amount or high quality, scholarly work. The most obvious proof of this statement by Hussey was the hun- dreds of thousands of federal and private research dollars attracted to the College of Chemistry and Phys- ics by its Faculty members. According to Dean Hulen B. Williams, the major contributing factor to increased enrollment was the relatively recent installation of an options program to liberalize their curriculum. We made a place in this college for students wanting careers in the life sciences, said Williams. The shift was made for two reasons. In the 60 ' s there was a shift of attention to the health service fields. People were asking what can I do to personally make my mark. Plus for economic reasons and lack of federal support, companies quit hiring students majoring in the hard sciences. In no curriculum does the Col- lege of Chemistry and Physics give exclusively professional work. Dean since 1968, Williams said, We hold the umbrella over our students and keep them on track toward certain careers. We counsel them about fields and professions, give them a good academic back- ground, then send them to profes- sional school. Hussey said they have been recently concerned with the large number of students (40%) in intro- ductory chemistry and physics courses that have had no substan- tial background in high school. Robert S. Allen, head of the department of biochemistry, the study of chemistry in living matter, said a graduate in their program can do any of three things go to medical school, graduate school or get a job in pharmacology, indus- try, or at a federal agency. Neil R. Kestner, chemistry department chairman said their major changes will be to set up new chemistry labs to teach chemistry and biochemistry for non-science majors. 48 Roux Daniel Higgins Sharon Higgins Brenda Hill Eileen Hill David Hi lichee Robert Himes Robert Hingle Jr. Kathy Hinson Jeff Hintermeister Graduate student enrollment in chemistry is on the increase and the excellent quality of the pro- gram is shown by a commendation this year from the Board of Supervi- sors for our graduate program, said Kestner. The department spends $700,000 in grant funds for from 30 to 40 research projects. The demand for chemistry graduates in industry is high where they are actively recruiting, adds Kestner. Computer science Chairman Walter G. Rudd claims his depart- ment is excellent and is told so by the people who hire his graduates. He also claims the battle with chemistry and physics for the best students based on ACT scores and GPA is won by computer science. Rudd attributed the rise in enrollment to the profitable career choices available plus a new com- puter system to be installed in the K building on campus in June. Rudd said, The purpose of our program is not to just learn the four computer languages, but to use a computer to solve problems and put a machine to efficient use. Ronald J. W. Henry, chairman of the department of physics and astronomy, said they are currently in the market for two new profes- sors for the fall. Our enrollment is high because we have an active faculty and gen- eral enthusiasm is high. Three- fourths of them have national repu- tations in their own fields. Henry, like each of the other three department heads, along with the dean and associate dean of the college, said the lack of research and equipment funds is the one fac- tor that hampers their progress most. Dean Williams summed the situ- ation up best when he said, Our main problem is enough money to function as a modern chemistry and physics facility. For undergraduate instruction there is no end to what we need. There ' s a common feeling that if we had money for student experiments we would make better use of it. 1.

The building is still plagued by noise, vibration, ventilation, and rain water problems. Students and faculty in the past have experienced disorientation. loss of equilibrium, and severe headaches from the loud noise and vibration in some offices and labs in the building. When it rains, water drips on val- uable equipment. Hoods used to pull chemical fumes from the room to prevent asphyxiation of the occu- pants do not work properly. Chemistry professor Robert Nauman said, I will not accept the responsibility for health problems stemming from adverse conditions. With improper hoods, we cannot do chemistry. In November of 1977, student and faculty complaints reached a crescendo. Commissioner of Administration Charles Roemer called a meeting to review the situa- tion. The main problems which caused heated debate were the repairing of the building to the sat- isfaction of the many involved, affixing the blame for the malfunc- tions on the designer, the contrac- tor, or the state, and deciding who would ultimately pay for the repairs. Minimal attempts have been made to repair the vibration and air flow problems, with most of the cost coming out of the chemistry building ' s equipment budget. Need- less to say, Chemistry-Biochemistry personnel were frustrated with the situation. Presently, Dean Hulen B. Wil- liams is in the process of hiring a firm to go into the building to study its problems and recommend solu- tions. The state has agreed to abide by this firm ' s decisions and take whatever steps necessary to repair of the building, even to the point of paying for the repairs. In the meantime, Dean Williams embarked on a crack-down of the safety rules. The program swung into full force after a fire started in the seventh floor instrument room in the Chemistry-Biochemistry building. It was discovered the fire was caused by chemicals in a non- explosion proof refrigerator. There were no injuries, but the fire itself stirred up enough emotion that the safety program was enforced with renewed vigor. 1. Chemistry students operated a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer in the building. (Schrodt) 2. Two yean ago. the building was accepted by the university from the contractor ith a list of things that still needed to be done. Somehow they never got done. (Zietz) 3.

William A. Pryor and Sean P. McGlynn both stumbled into their successful careers in chemistry after spending years pursuing different interests. Dr. Pryor received an arts degree before he decided to study science. I got into science without real insights. 1 thought it was nicer to study fact and get right answers. Later on I realized, of course, that two plus two equals four, but that was not the most interesting part of science. The most interest- ing are the frontiers that are not known at all. For example, does saccharin cause cancer? Is the earth warming? Is another ice age com- ing? Pryor believes the reason there are not many students today study- ing to be Ph.D. ' s in chemistry is because the Vietnam War turned students away from hard defined things to seek peace, love, and tran- quility. It ' s wrong to think science is defined, explicit and non-poetic. Science is like Chinese or Russian in that it takes so long to learn the vocabulary and one needs an active vocabulary for poetic expression. Dr. McGlynn got support in scholarship form from the National University of Ireland where he took an interest in marine biology and biochemistry. He later transferred to Florida State to pursue a Mas- ter ' s in Chemistry because, although he claims I ' ve usually managed to like everything I ' ve done he was disappointed in the marine biology school he was attending. McGlynn is pleased with LSU in that, A university is supposed to provide the atmosphere to allow the scientist to pursue questions not because they are obviously impor- tant but because you think they are. As a research person I would prefer to work in a university rather than in an industry. To McGlynn science is. clearly the forefront of technology. We want technology because it makes life easy. One reason one pursues science is that it is like a detective story. The detective, the researcher, is searching and pursuing and he goes into the unknown where there is fear of the unknown. Dr. McGlvnn presently receives about $150.000 per year from fed- eral and private agencies to support he and his 14 member research group. He teaches three hours per semester. Dr. Pryor was on sabbatical until the fall semester of 1978. So far one book Organic Free Radicals is on the press and he has written 15 arti- cles. Pryor said. I had almost forgot- ten what it is like to be happy in chemistry again. I would like to have zero teaching load every other semester. I ' m ecstatic I have all this time for my research group and writing instead of being hassled to death. Joseph Callaway has been a Boyd Professor in Physics and Astronomy since 1967. He came to LSU during the time when the National Science Foundation had awarded LSU, and a very few other schools around the country. Cen- ters of Excellence Grants to upgrade hard science departments. Callaway ' s research projects are still funded by the National Science Foundation along with the Depart- ment of Energy and the Army. Most of his work is in theoretical solid state physics. His main project over the last five years has been to shed light on the problem of why metals such as iron are magnetic. Callaway is happy at LSU - It ' s a rather decent place, but is not pleased with the state of Louisi- ana. I don ' t think the legislature really understands in a serious way the value of having a first class uni- versity. They have never shown a will to make LSU a great school overall. It would be valuable to this state to have one really excellent univer- sity. An effort needs to be made to explain our problems to the state legislature. Callaway teaches three hours per week plus researches with five grad- uate students. 1. Dr. Sean McGlynn teaches three hours per semester and would probably leave if I were assigned more.

Since that time, there ' s been a steady decline. The college has con- tinued to lose students while total university enrollment grows. Spring enrollment figures showed a count of 1331 undergraduate students in education. Why the decrease? According to Assistant Dean Jerry Andrews, the decline is due to two factors, During the past legis- lative session, Andrews said, the legislature mandated that the requirement for admission to the College of Education be raised to a 2.2 grade point average. Perhaps the major reason for the decrease, however, is that there has been a decrease in the demand for teachers, Andrews added. The college ' s dean, Peter Soder- bergh said, There is a surplus in some areas; however, in others there is a demand. I ' ve been here 18 months and I have yet to hear any- one complain about not getting a job maybe not where they want, but the majority do seek, find, and take jobs. According to the dean, the problem lies in students ' lack of willingness to teach outside of major city areas. Young teachers don ' t like to work in the boondocks. But, in rural parishes, there is a demand for teachers. Soderbergh complained of the criticism that new teachers were getting. I really wish Louisiana would ease up on the invective that they are putting on students in edu- cation. Our new teachers are sin- cere young people who are willing to take all the lumps. Outsiders think more of our product than people in Louisiana dp. Students enrolled in the College of Education may choose to major in art education, elementary grades, elementary grades and the educa- tion of the mentally retarded, sec- ondary education, speech and hear- ing therapy, music education, or health, physical, and recreation education. Students are required to complete eight semester hours of student teaching in their areas of specialization. The elementary education department holds the largest enroll- ment in the college, a total of 397 in the spring semester. According to Doris Conway, chairman of the department, The elementary edu- cation curriculum, besides provid- ing the ability to teach at the ele- mentary level provides an espe- cially good base for such fields as social welfare, psychology, sociol- ogy, and special education. Approximately 200 students were enrolled in the elementary educa- tion and mental retardation curric- ulum this year. According to James McDuffie, coordinator of special education services, a special education gradu- ate is certified to teach both educa- bly mentally retarded children and regular students. The job outlook is excellent, McDuffie said. By all means, the job market is better for special edu- cation students than for regular education graduates. And this will hold true for many years to come. Why? According to McDuffie, a major reason is a recent legislative mandate which ordered that special education services must be given to any child that needs it.

(Meredith I Education 55 Two Heads Are Better Than One It is a place where students teach students and everybody learns. The place is the University Lab School and the system is student teaching. Of the 227 students in the College of Education who participated in the student teaching program this year, 57, or about 25 percent, taught at the Lab School. Fifteen taught on the elementary level, 40 on the secondary level, and two acted as student librarians. According to James Fox, princi- pal of the Lab School, the school plays five basic roles in regard to the College of Education: The school provides opportuni- ties for students enrolled in educa- tion courses to generally observe classes and to see specific kinds of teaching techniques. This is possi- ble because of our convenient loca- tion on campus and our close rela- tionship with the College of Educa- tion. The school also provides oppor- tunities for students to do micro- teaching or ' bit teaching. ' Of course, the school also handles a large portion of the regular student teachers. Finally, the school provides a population for research and devel- opment programs, in which the children are the subjects. For exam- ple, the HPRE Department is cur- rently conducting a research project concerning long-range child growth and development. Peter Soderbergh, dean of the College of Education would like to see the research facet of the Lab School expanded. I see the Lab School as a locus of relevant research about teaching processes, Soderbergh said. Are the Lab School students being shortchanged in their educa- tion? According to Fox, Lab stu- dents are not receiving an injustice. Although these are inexperienced teachers, they are always under the direction of their supervisors. In fact, there may actually be better planning involved. Helen Cookston, director of the student teaching program, agreed that Lab School students were not being shortchanged. Two heads are better than one, Cookston said. The student teacher has another colleague, the supervisory teacher, to discuss classroom mat- ters with. How does the program actually work? According to Cookston, stu- dent teaching is done in the educa- tion major ' s senior year, usually in his last semester. Student teaching bridges the final gap between LSU and the workaday world, Cook- ston said. The first few days of student teaching are usually spent in obser- vation. The student teacher then progresses to participation in rou- tine matters, such as calling roll and collecting lunch money, to work with individual children. From this stage, he advances to working with a small group and finally works up to the entire classroom under the guidance of a supervisory teacher. The student teacher receives eight hours credit for student teach- ing. How is he graded? The super- vising teacher gives a pass fail grade with the consent of a college supervisor, a representative from the College of Education who visits the student teacher in his classroom periodically. Where do the other 170 student teachers teach? According to Cook- ston, most are spread throughout Baton Rouge. Some of the many participating schools in East Baton Rouge Parish include Highland Elementary, Valley Park Junior High, and Lee and Istrouma High Schools. Cookston added that more stu- dent teachers were opting for stu- Mattie Jenkins Sherry Jenkins Vanessa Jenkins Virginia Jennings Karen Jensen Richard Jernigan Abigail Jerome Mark Jessen Annie Jewell 56 Roux dent teaching in rural-type settings. This year, 12 students taught in Iberville Parish schools, seven in West Baton Rouge Parish, and two in East Feliciana Parish. In order for a school to partici- pate in the student teaching pro- gram, it must be recommended by The school board. Supervisory teachers must also be recom- mended by the board. These teach- ers must meet specific state certifi- cation requirements, which include a Master ' s degree, three years teaching experience in his field, and a graduate course in the supervision of student teaching. Cookston is looking forward to the installation of a full-time stu- dent-teaching program in the fall of 1979. Most of the 15 elementary student teachers and a number of the secondary student teachers at the Lab School are already partici- pating in this program. They ' re gaining 12 credit hours instead of the normal eight hours by teaching all day long. The student teachers are getting good experience teaching part-time, but they ' re not really getting a true picture of the teaching profession. Cookston said. They have to know how a teacher feels at the end of the day! 1. The full-time teaching option was offered for the first time this year. 2. Student teachers exist at all levels in the lab school handling a total of 550 students. 3. Most universities around the country no longer have lab schools according to Dean Soderbergh.

Soderbergh received $36,000 odd dollars from the Bureau of Educa- tion for the Handicapped this year. According to Soderbergh, the grant is to be used to enlighten the aware- ness of the faculty of the need to incorporate the subject of excep- tionality in their classes. In November of 1975, Public Law 94-142 was passed. The law stated that the exceptional child must be placed in the least restric- tive environment for him. Accord- ing to the law, if the best place for an exceptional child to be is a regu- lar school system, then he will be granted access to this type of edu- cation. Therefore, Soderbergh said, our faculty must teach students how to deal with exceptionality. James McDuffie, coordinator of Special Education Services in the College of Education, agreed with Soderbergh about the need for the faculty to incorporate exceptional- ity in their classes. For example, McDuffie said, if a teacher is behind in a course but he wants to finish the text, he may skip the chapter on special education. We must make the fac- ulty make the students aware that they will be working with special children. Will the faculty cooperate? According to McDuffie, Any time you inject change, there will be some resistance. But I feel that there will be a lot of cooperation among the faculty. The special education program in the College of Education evaluates approximately 1600 students a year, according to McDuffie. The four- man consulting team, consisting of a psychologist, an educational con- sultant, a speech and hearing clini- cian, and a social worker deter- mines whether the child is educably mentally retarded (EMR), trainably mentally retarded (TMR), speech handicapped, or the like. The team then makes recommen- dations to the school system. According to McDuffie, the new law requires the individuals con- cerned that if it is their opinion that the particular child should be in a hospital setting, they must justify their opinion. Also, if it is their opinion that the child must be placed in a regular school, they must justify that opinion. According to McDuffie, the idea of the law and the grant is to place the child where he can best learn and reach his maximum potential. The law, passed in 1975, was par- tially implemented this year. According to Dean Soderbergh, the law will be completely effective by the beginning of the 1978 school year. 1. The special education consulting team, consist- ing of a psychologist, an education consultant, a speech and hearing clinician, and a social worker, evaluated about 1600 students a year. 2.

These students will be designing for a society 25-50 years from now, McClindon said. Technol- ogy will change. We have to teach the students to anticipate and appreciate change. Whether students anticipate and appreciate it or not, a change is what they are undergoing now in END. According to Jack Haynes, assistant dean of Environmental Design, the school is constantly evaluating and revising all of the programs to improve their quality. The faculty, always a major fac- tor in the quality of a school, is also undergoing changes. Several new members have been added to the faculty this year. William Warehall, ceramics, Kris Heintz, metal crafts, and Kimberly Arp, drawing and painting, are all new additions to the Fine Arts faculty. Gary Stone- breaker has joined the Architecture Department this year and Susan Turner is a new member of the Landscape Architecture faculty. The school is divided into four major areas: fine arts, architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design. The Fine Arts Department boasts the largest enrollment in the college, with a total of 224 students, as of the fall ' 77 semester. Despite the department ' s popu- larity, Walter Rutkowski, head of the Fine Arts Department, con- ceded that there was room for growth. Rutkowski viewed the fac- ulty as a major asset to the depart- ment. I am very pleased with the faculty members, Rutkowski said. We have a very strong fine arts faculty one of the strongest and largest in the state. The Department of Architecture follows the Fine Arts Department with its enrollment of 200. Fount Smothers, head of the department, also spoke of an excellent faculty. He emphasized that architecture, however, unlike fine arts, is a serv- ice profession, and not essentially a form of self-expression. The department, therefore, Smothers said, is constantly searching for ways to best serve the public --to make a difference in the quality of people ' s lives. Pragmaticism and aesthetics are both important points we stress in our classes, Smothers said. His major complaint about the depart- ment, however, is the university ' s lack of support in terms of financial help and classroom space. The Landscape Architecture Department, with a student enroll- ment of 175, also considered practi- cality and aesthetics to be of pri- mary importance. Roxanne Leblanc Sharon Leblanc Stephanie Leblanc Terry Leblanc Tracy Le Blanc Corey Lebocuf Eugene Leboeuf Rebel Lebouef Paul Lbovitz 62 Roux Our department is very strongly design- and construction-oriented, said Robert Reich, head of the department. We try to prepare the students for the wide variety of types of jobs that exist. When asked about the apparent camaraderie between the landscape students, Reich commented, Our students are a tight-knit group for a number of reasons - - first of all, they ' re cooped up in the same building for long hours working on projects; secondly, we often assign team projects in classes, and finally, a number of popular field trips are sponsored in the department. How is the job outlook for END students after graduation? Accord- ing to Dean McClindon, there are at least 3 jobs for every landscape graduate, 1.5 jobs for every archi- tecture graduate, and the ratio is approaching 1 on 1 for interior designers. As far as fine arts stu- dents are concerned, McClindon said, commercial art, teaching, and art therapy are good outlets for graduates. 1. and 3.

The houses there are relatively similar in appearance all typical upper- middle-class suburban homes. But two houses on Leighwood are unique. They ' re the products of a recent Energy Efficient Research and Demonstration Project con- ducted by the LSU Department of Architecture in conjunction with the Home Builders and Apartment Association of Greater Baton Rouge. Gulf States Utilities, Rock- wool Industries, and Carrier Dis- tributing Company funded the pro- ject. Joel Dietrich, an instructor of architecture and the youngest mem- ber of the architecture faculty, was the principal investigator and coor- dinator of the project. What exactly does energy effi- cient housing mean? Nothing really new and innovative has been designed here, Dietrich said. We were trying to bring energy-saving methods back into common use. According to Dietrich, the plan- tation homes of the pre-Civil War days were incredibly energy-effi- cient. The houses were designed to run without air-conditioning and still be comfortable. Eventually, Dietrich said, we forgot about energy-saving methods. Exactly what methods were used in the Sherwood homes? Specially insulated glass and walls, attic ven- tilation, and insulation, and a poly- ethylene vapor barrier were among the many devices used by the pro- ject designers to decrease the amount of energy used. We did not try to design the most energy efficient homes, Diet- rich said. It would be possible to design a building that is completely energy efficient. The house, how- ever, would be radically different from a house in the usual sense and the cost would be monumental. The cost of these two homes were $67,500 and $74,900 - - typical of other houses in the area. Was the project a success? Yes, according to Dietrich. He and his fellow researchers have kept a close watch on the actual energy effi- ciency of these two homes. The August 1977 bill for one home was $53, $47 for September, and $37 for October, in comparison to the usual monthly utilities bill of about $100 for a house of 2050 square feet, said Dietrich. Needless to say, the home ' s resi- dents are satisfied. We ' re not ask- ing them to change their lifestyles, Dietrich said. There ' s no special temperature that they ' re supposed to keep their thermostat on. They ' re just living there and saving money. So why not? 1. Because the cost of air-conditioning is of great concern in the South, glass doors and windows were placed only on the north and south sides of the energy efficient bouses, decreasing the amount of beat from the sun entering the houses.

Two campus art galleries provide the art connois- seur, as well as the average crass LSU students with a taste of what is going on locally, as well as nation- ally, in the world of art. The Union Art Gallery, directed by Judi Stahl, puts on an average of 10 shows a year. We try to main- tain a balance between student, fac- ulty, and open shows, Stahl said. Accordingly, the gallery sponsors an annual faculty show and an annual student show. The gallery also exhibits the works of the Fine Arts Department ' s visiting artists and graduating seniors. Most of the other exhibits are open shows, that is, shows from outside the local community. The other campus art gallery is a little less fortunate than the Union Gallery. Whereas the Union Gal- lery has an eight-member Art Advi- sory Board staff and an annual budget of about $8000, the gallery in Foster Hall has no staff and no budget. Foster Gallery is primarily run by Fine Arts Assistant Profes- sor Michael Crespo and the art stu- dents themselves. Crespo feels that the gallery has a great potential for flexibility. We ' d like to swap faculty and graduate shows with other universities, but we can ' t we have no budget for transportation costs. Even without a budget, however, Crespo feels positive about the gal- lery and added, Students manage the gallery very well. Gar Lehmann Oar.

The fact that we are thrust into base- ments is ironic. Gerald McClindon. dean of the School of Environmental Design, was speaking of the unfortunate dilemma of the END students. The school has no place to call home. Where are classes being held? According to McClindon. environ- mental design students attend classes in Foster Hall. Hill Memo- rial, Allen Hall, Coates, the Huey P. Long Field House. Dodson Audito- rium, Lockett Hall, the Gym Armory, the basement of the Infir- mary, and under the Tiger Stadium. The ceramics students are using kilns on the River Road as the ceramics studio in Foster Hall was declared a fire and health hazard in the fall semester. The Panhellenic building was also declared a fire hazard. The building was being renovated in the fall semester for use by the fine arts students for the spring semester, when, in October, the University Lab School caught on fire. The bot- tom floor of Panhellenic was assigned for use by the Lab School elementary students. The fine arts students would use the second floor. It ' s a nightmare right now, McClindon said. The faculty should be working together. Instead we ' re scattered all over campus. The artist, the architect, and the designer must be together. According to McClindon, the school has less than half the space it needs. Is the situation hopeless? No, according to Lynn Pesson, vice chancellor for academic affairs. As a matter of fact, an architectural firm has been hired by the state to work on plans for the proposed END complex. The complex will consist of Atkinson Hall, the Mechanical Engineering Building, part of the Engineering shops, and an additional building. The engi- neering areas were vacated when the engineering students moved into the new CEBA building on Nicholson Extension over the sum- mer. Approximately 50% of the END school ' s activities moved into those vacated areas. Most of the architectural department and about 1.

The ceramics studio in Foster Hall, ordered to relocate in October because of major safer violations, has caught Tire twice in the last five vears. (Photos bv Zietzt half of the fine arts department made the move. The fourth build- ing will be constructed in the park- ing lot south of the Agricultural Administration Building and west of the Mechanical Engineering Building, forming the final compo- nent of the four-building complex. The new structure will be approx- imately 85,000 square feet, about the size of Allen Hall. The building will consist mainly of studio-type classrooms. A $6 million allocation is necessary, according to Pesson. The state will start selling bonds for the appropriation of the money sometime during the 1978 fiscal year, the vice chancellor said. When will the building be ready for use? My guess three, three and a half, probably four years away from occupancy, Pesson said. The architectural firm ' s prel- iminaries should be ready right after the first of 1978. Construction should start around the first of Jan- uary, 1979. It will take approxi- mately 2 6-3 years to build. In the meantime, what are the END students doing that is, besides getting their daily exercise by jogging across campus from a 9:30 class in Panhellenic to a 10:30 class in the Gym Armory, while carrying two canvases, one 18x24 drawing pad, and a box of paints? According to Jack Haynes, assist- ant dean of environmental design, the students are producing good work. I think that the students, as well as the faculty, have shown tre- mendous courage and creativity in being able to find ways to produce quality work and quality programs even with inadequate facilities, Haynes said. Despite the over- crowding and the shortage of space, we have a good faculty producing good programs. Environmental Design 67 1.

Indeed, the enrollment of the Music School has grown so fast that a few years ago. the Board of Supervisors set a limit on enroll- ment. Therefore, what the Music School looks forward to most is the planned renovation and expansion of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building The ability to have a larger fac- - and enrollment is the most important change we ' d like to see. said Dean Everett Timm. According to Associate Professor Victor Klimash. Our potential for growth is phenomenal. The teach- ing here is on par with the greatest conservatories in the world. Assistant Dean Richard Norem agreed with Klimash about the excellence of the school. We do a fine job of training our students, and the success of our graduates is the proof of the pud- ding. Norem said. Dean Timm commented on the job opportunities for music gradu- ates. As far as the employment outlook for our graduates is con- cerned, they have excellent oppor- tunities although they may have a limited choice of localities. Various faculty members pointed out that there are graduates of the LSU School of Music working all over the world. They also stressed the fact that the Music School ' s performing organizations serve as ambassadors for the university. The performing organizations are the life-blood o7 the Music School and of the univer- sity and the community as well. ' said one faculty member. The music student has the option of majoring in voice, composition, sacred music, or one of the six instrumental curricula. The school has undergone a few changes in recent years. The most significant recent change. said Alumni Professor Kenneth Klaus, was the addition of an electronic studio and synthesizer. This syn- thesizer is especially useful for com- position majors. The faculty was very pleased to host the sixth annual Anton Webern International Contempo- rary Music Festival this year. Everyone has music in their soul. said Professor KHmash. director of school activities. There is an eternal song sung by the spirit of mankind. People latch on to that song. They create from it. Through their performance they pass it on to other people, who in turn share it with others. Dean Assistant Norem expressed similar ideas on the art of music. Music is meant to inspire, to reach inside and bring something out of you. said Norem. People go to church, or to a museum or art gal- lery to look inward to man ' s back- ground and aspirations. Through music you can do this as well. You can certainly, shall we say. be turned on by a Beethoven sym- phony or a P ' ucciru opera or some very good Dixieland jazz. Music makes you feel better. It makes you reflect on yourself, reflect on your life. It ' s something you can become immersed in and so. the value of music is extreme. Music brings beauu to the world. Think of what would happen if we took all the music away. If suddenly as of this moment, there were no more music. It would be a rather bland world. I think, a rather colorless world.

Dr. Wilson teaches electronic music, music composition, and music theory. (Trufant) It ' s important that a musician be able to ' hear ' , said Don Wilson, member of the School of Music fac- ulty. This is not as ridiculous as it sounds. Dr. Wilson believes that a good musician is one who can hear a piece of music then write what he heard on paper. A good musician also must learn to actually hear a piece when he reads it. Since Wilson ' s arrival to LSU in the fall of 1976, he has been work- ing on new ways to teach his stu- dents how to become good musi- cians. Eventually Wilson hopes to use the computer as a tutor in ear training, an important phase of music theory. Wilson teaches elec- tronic music, music competition, and music theory. In the summer of 1977, Dr. Wil- son received a faculty research grant to work with computer sound generation. Using a digital to ana- log converter, he was able to create sounds through the use of numbers generated by a computer program to simulate sound waves. These sig- nals then were passed through an amplifier to conventional speakers. Converting numbers into elec- tricity is a digital technique. Syn- thesizers such as Moog, Arp, and Buchla, used by many contempo- rary rock bands, as well as compos- ers doing advanced composition and research in sound, use a contin- uous, or analog, approach, not nec- essarily a digital one. Any imaginable sound is possi- ble with the computer, added Wil- son. Notes, or pitches, are deter- mined by frequency. The note vibrates at 440 cycles per second and 880 cycles per second produces an A an octave higher. Dr. Wilson wants to create new sounds and new compositions. I want to create a sound, a piece of music, that is aesthetically pleas- ing. Dr. Wilson has also done exten- sive work in computer-assisted composition. The computer is allowed to make many decisions in composition. If Wilson wanted a high note within a certain predeter- mined range, for example, the com- puter is programmed to choose one. In addition, a computer-driven plotter can point the score many times faster than the human hand can. Dr. Wilson is devoted to music and considers his summer work a lifetime project. I have continued and will continue to investigate and write computer programs on my own, Wilson concluded.

Here at LSU is the new wave of five centuries past From Penderecki and Barber to contem- porary pop. the A Capella Choir has it all. That ' s right. LSU ' s finest and most prestigious choral ensemble just may capture some ears away from Robert Plant. At least give it a chance. said Victor Klimash, director of choral activities and pilot of the A Capella Choir. We have something unique and different to offer. Students should avail themselves of a culture that will broaden their perspective. Who knows? Many may even find it appealing. The choir is in its 27th year here on campus and has been under the direction of Klimash for the past three years. There are 64 students in the choir, consisting of 16 quartets. These quartets are then divided into the soprano, alto, tenor, and bari- tone voices which conveniently include two male and two female voices. Daily practice for the choir is held in the Pentagon Cafeteria. Kli- mash. however, is hopeful that a new location will be available in the near future, as the cafeteria acous- tics are less than satisfactory. Par- ticipation is voluntary, although students do receive one-hour credit for their efforts. The labors of the A Capella Choir are in no way in vain. Three concerts are held annually fall, winter, and spring along with a spring tour. This year the choir toured the western section of the state. The major functions of the choir are to provide the university with quality choral music and to train students to undertake choral posi- tions, such as conductor or instruc- tor, for high schools and colleges. The aim of the choral group as a whole is to train the ensemble towards serious musicianship. The make-up of the choir is quite broad. Although most of the mem- bers are music or music-related majors, many choir members are majors in numerous other colleges of the university. Our singing reflects our joys of being alive and being members of the human race. Klimash remarked. The choral department also includes three other choirs. The opera choir consists of approxi- mately 40 students, concentrating mainly on operatic music. The women ' s chorus, just over 30 mem- bers, sing specialized works, while the university choir performs a vari- ety of songs and styles. The choral system is still in need of greater recognition and apprecia- tion, Klimash said. The four choirs perform as important parts in the music scene at LSU as the band and the symphony, yet much of our efforts go unnoticed. 1.

Even though every curriculum allows a few elective hours, many students don ' t realize the variety of interesting courses offered. The Department of Health, Phys- ical, and Recreation Education offers quite a number of unusual classes. If dancing seems like a good way to end the day or to begin it, the PE department offers everything from ballet and ballroom dancing to modern dance. Conditioning Exercises is one of the most popular courses on cam- pus. Depending on the instructor, the student develops an individual jogging program or he may get in shape with yoga exercises. Fans of the movie The Deep have their chance for underwater adventure in a scuba diving class. The class usually goes diving in Florida at the end of each semester. The outdoor type may enjoy a camping class offered by the PE Department. This fall, the class spent a weekend in Tunica Hills. Before enrolling in either of these courses; however, the student may want to learn about artifical resus- citation and treatment of fractures, burns, and frostbite. HPRE 2061, Basic First Aid, is recommended by the department. The most popular course in the department, however, by far, is HPRE 2600, Human Sexuality. The course is taught by a gynecologist, Dr. James Atkinson, who covers numerous aspects of sexuality, including such controversial issues as homosexuality, sex change oper- ations, and even various sex techni- ques and positions. The PE Department, however, is not the only department on campus that offers fun classes. Plant lovers can get practice and advice through courses offered by the Horticulture Department, which can teach the student how to successfully grow plants, vegeta- bles, flowers, trees, shrubs and almost anything. After growing a beautiful turnip, the average student may wonder what to do with it. The Home Eco- nomics Department can help. The former frozen-food addict may be miraculously transformed into a gourmet cook with a course in food preparation, such as Home EC 2015. The Home EC Department also offers a course in sewing (HE 2035), home decorating (HE 1032), and even a course that teaches students how to use complicated home appliances (HE 4066). For those students who prefer intellectual activities, the History Dixon LovAorn Eugene Lo autwo Gary Lut-cium C:irl Luce Jr. Nanc Luikart Edward Lumpkin Christine Lund Cornelius Luuuer Paul l.unsford 72 Roux Department offers History 4071, a study of the antebellum South. A course in southern folklore is made available by the anthropology department listed in the catalog as Anthropology 2093. For the shower singers, the School of Music offers two choir classes, which perform twice a year for three hours credit. Amateur artists can take such courses as metal crafts, ceramics, sculpture, painting, and drawing through the fine arts department. For movie buffs, there ' s Dr. Don- ald Ragsdale ' s Speech 2072. an introduction to films, including such classics as Carnal Knowledge, the Seventh Seal, and Deliverance. Some new unusual courses offered this year were Hebrew in the Old Testament, offered by the Foreign Languages department, and three new history courses: one dealing with World War II and the others with London and American diplomacy. 1. The Speech Department offered a course in tel- evision production in which students were involved in acting, directing, and filming. (Meredith) 2.

Although unnecessary traffic may have been a cause for closing the rear entrance, Caroline Wire, assistant librarian, claimed improved security was the main goal of the action. What does the library have that is so valuable? Besides the thousands of books and periodicals, the LSU Library also contains several special collec- tions. The Mcllhenny Natural History Collection is an assemblage of rare books, prints, maps, and objects d ' art. The Warren L. Jones Lincoln Collection, located in the social sci- ence division, contains approxi- mately 5000 items concerning Abraham Lincoln. Two hundred watercolors painted by Margaret Stones, an English botanical artist, have been commissioned by the university as an effort to expand the school ' s art collection. Twenty-five of the works have been framed and hung in the corri- dor of the second floor. Physical expansion to the library has added 658 square feet of space for more reference desks and expanded study area. Funds for financing the library are appropriated by the Louisiana state legislature through the LSU budget. According to Wire, the library did not receive an increase 76 Roux in funds for 1977-78 over the funds appropriated for 1976-77. This year, $10.000 was raised by the Friends of the LSU Library at their second annual Book Bazaar. The Friends, a volunteer group, held a book drive and sold various classics and best-sellers for nominal prices at the Bazaar. 1.

Decided to take it easy, right? University College students learn to expect reactions like this when they mention their major. According to Ralph Schmidt, dean of UC, however, the college ' s students are not just aimlessly drift- ing through their college careers, taking the easy way out. Most of the students that I talk with know what they want, Schmidt said. We have students who transfer from other colleges who want to go to law school or one of the professional schools and they transfer here because they have more freedom in their courses. Students that are dropped from other colleges, cannot effortlessly ramble into University College, contrary to popular belief, accord- ing to Schmidt. The student must explain why he ' s been dropped. He must explain what his educational goals are to determine whether he really wants to come to University College for a degree. University College boasted of the largest enrollments on campus this year - - a total of over 2500 stu- dents. Two degrees are offered by the college: a Bachelor ' s of Science in General Studies and a Bachelor ' s of Law Enforcement. 13 es eli 01 Sc ed sp ce Ac of itif bo w are vat Pol sen oik skc to I in I Patricia Putnam Leslie Quails Brian Quarles James Queen Jim Queen Wilfredo Quintero Cindy Quirk John Rabalais Neil Rabin 80 Roux In the fall, 1389 students were enrolled in general studies, making it the most popular major on cam- pus. Yet the program has no build- ing to call home and no faculty to call its own. Why is the curriculum so popu- lar? Flexibility in the program is the major reason, according to Schmidt. Also undecided students who obtain a degree in general s-tudies will be prepared for gradu- ate school. Schmidt said. The curriculum is divided into three areas: humanities, social sci- ences and natural sciences. Stu- dents must earn a certain number of hours in each area, specializing in one or more major fields of inter- est. He has an additional 52 free elective hours. Students plan their own curriculum with Dean Schmidt ' s approval, receive a broad education, and at the same time specialize in one or more areas. Approximately 500 of the stu- dents enrolled in UC are undertak- ing the law enforcement curricu- lum. Why is the law enforcement pro- gram under University College? According to Julian Martin, head of the program, there were possibil- ities of being under other colleges, but it was decided that the program would work better under UC. Working conditions with UC are excellent, Martin commented. According to Martin, law enforcement students participate in various field trips, visiting the State Police Department. Angola Peni- tentiary, St. Gabriel Prison, among others, along with regular target shoot-outs. How is the job market for law enforcement graduates? According to Martin, all those who want jobs in law enforcement are able to find them. Graduates work for correctional institutes, courts and prisons. Some work as investigators for district attorney offices, and an increasing number are doing private investiga- tor work, Martin said. Those who want to become policemen go to training school after graduation. Our role is to educate, Martin said. There is not enough time to train officers. Martin emphasized the fact that the school does not train students to become policemen. 1.

These students leave housework, kids, or an eight-to-five job to par- ticipate in LSU ' s Program for Adult Special Students (PASS), adminis- tered through University College. A participant in PASS has only one requirement to meet: he must have been out of high school or col- lege for at least three years. A PASS participant needs no ACT score or transcript. Although there is no limit to the course offerings in the PASS pro- gram, a student can take no more than nine hours a semester and can take a minimum of 24 hours for credit. To continue enrollment in courses, the student must apply for admission as a regular LSU stu- dent. Graduate courses are also offered through PASS, but a student must have a college degree and receive graduate school approval to do so. No more than six hours of graduate level course may be taken under PASS. According to Dr. Nan Singleton, associate dean of the PASS pro- gram, the typical student enrolled in PASS is a housewife, 21 to 30 years of age. She usually attends class in late afternoons or evenings. Tuition for students in PASS is the same as that for regular part-time students. Senior citizens may attend class free of charge if class size per- mits. LSU ' s Program for Adult Special Students provides a special oppor- tunity to those who desire to update skills, obtain a long-sought degree, or simply to rejuvenate their minds. 1. More than 1,100 part-timers participated in the program this year. 2. Past scholastic records can- not damage the academic future of a PASS stu- dent. 3.

' : Besides the regular course offer- ings the University provides, LSU also offers its short course program to members of the community as well as to students. Housed in Pleasant Hall, the pro- gram offers courses ranging from shorthand and typing to computer programming. Course offerings also included yoga, speedreading, and Chinese cooking. Under the direction of Reginald C. Gerstein, head of professional services short courses, the short course program has expanded. Ger- stein has additional plans for the introduction of several new courses: a course in single parent- ing, one on antiques, and of partic- ular interest, a course on dining out in Baton Rouge. LSU instructors have served as teachers for the courses. The length of the course has varied from one class meeting to meetings scheduled over a period of a few months. Fees for the courses varied. For instance, learning to Lose Weight, had a fee of $20, whereas Scuba Diving was offered for $ 1 10. Revenues generated from course fees have amounted to approxi- mately $4-$5 million a year. The professional courses offered by Short Courses has brought in the major portion of this money. The money has been used to pay instructors and to aid the Univer- sity. c -=.- 1 ?-;. Randal!

It ' s a place to get help with pre- registration and stud} ing. It ' s a place to pick up materials for Jests like the Graduate Record Exam or a mental aptitude test. It ' s a place to receive counseling on personal matters. It ' s Junior Division. Part of LSU for 44 years, JD involves the total concept in help- ing a student. Programs sponsored by Junior Division include study skills classes, career groups, a class in how to pre-register, freshman orientation, a testing bureau, and an academic skill enhancement program designed to help make stu- dents more successful in attaining their educational goals. More than 7000 students enrolled in Junior Division this year, an increase of more 200 students from last year. We reached an all-time high, said Dean Vincent Cange- losi. He attributed the record- breaking number of students enrolled to the special efforts of the people in Admissions, high school relations, and General College. Cangelosi has been at LSU since 1967 and has held his present posi- tion- for three years. According to Cangelosi, Junior Division makes a difference. Lots of schools across the country are starting to emulate us. I think that LSU has really been the leader. For a big school, a Junior Divi- sion is one of the overwhelming compensating factors. Cangelosi ' s philosophy is to do everything we can to give every student coming here the highest probability of suc- cess. Cangelosi cited many improve- ments of JD. We need to reinforce our careers program. This ties in with our counseling-out program. When students don ' t make it at LSU, we want to be able to counsel them out into something else that will help them. Cangelosi wants to improve the image of freshman classes. We are working with the departments to get the best freshman teaching pos- sible. It ' s good now, but there ' s room for improvement. He feels the fundamental back- bone of JD is counseling. One of our big priorities is to try to give additional assistance to our coun- seling alone. He feels that students enrolled in the academic skills enhancement program need a strong counseling dimension. The idea is the counselors have to constantly stay with those stu- dents. Cangelosi said JD is slowly going into aptitude testing of stu- dents to supplement the vocational interest inventories completed by students. We want to develop a research arm in our testing service try to do our own research, with counse- lors and faculty members outside JD doing research that essentially involves JD students or pre-JD stu- dents. Lacy E. Davis, associate dean of Junior Division, agreed with Can- gelosi on the improvements needed in the department. Davis has been at LSU for 16 years and has served as associate dean of JD for about the last ten years. Dean Cangelosi is sincere in his efforts to get on the same level with the students he comes into contact with every day. For about five weeks during the fall semest er, Cangelosi lived in a freshman dorm. I did it because I make a lot of decisions affecting students where their living accom- modations are involved and I didn ' t know anything about them. he explained. I hear complaints from students and I really just wanted to get a bet- ter perspective of what they were talking about. I wanted to see it the way they see it. And boy. I did. he said with a laugh. 1. During the course of the three-day fall registra- tion. 7077 students waited to pick up their registra- tion packets outside the JD office. (Daniel ) 2. JD counselor.

How often has that statement been heard on campus? Apparently often enough for Chancellor Paul Murrill to appoint five committees with the purpose of devising a pro- gram for the academically disad- vantaged student. So the Academic Skills Enhance- ment Program, ASEP, began in August .1977, and was put into effect through the efforts of Junior Division. Vincent Cangelosi, dean of Jun- ior Division, outlined the basic con- cept of ASEP. We don ' t want to put a student into a class where we know there is a problem that the student will fail that class. So we offer non-college credit remedial courses in critical areas to bring the student up to the college level . . . background preparation for college classes, he said. The committees appointed by the chancellor took into consideration factors such as ACT scores, place- ment test scores and feedback from high schools in pinpointing the four critical areas. The courses offered were in mathematics, English, reading, and study skills. Students with ACT scores below nine were placed into English 0003. English 0006 was for students with ACT scores between 10 and 14. The difference between the two classes is that 0003 is self-paced, Cangelosi said. We usually expect the student to take longer than one semester to complete 0003. The two remedial math courses, 0004 and 0005, each lasted for one half of a semester. Students are placed according to diagnostic and placement exam scores, Cange- losi explained. The reading and study skills classes were on a voluntary and referral from English teachers basis, he said. Study skills was mainly taken by students as a non- credit elective. Cangelosi said the courses car- ried University credit, but no degree credit. The students were graded on a pass-no credit basis. ASEP involved a heavy counsel- ing dimension also, Cangelosi said. The students are programmed into a counseling mold. We need to add more counselors, he added. More than 1500 students, mostly freshmen, took advantage of the ASEP this fall. It ' s hard to evalu- ate the program on the basis of one semester ' s experience, Cangelosi said. People working in these reme- dial areas feel they are getting some good results. Cangelosi agreed that the program was a needed addition to University academia. He felt the program will continue to grow, because ACTs aren ' t get- ting higher, they ' re getting lower.

This is the dilemma faced and overcome by many students from Iran, Venezuela, Japan, Saudi Ara- bia, and other countries. Last fall, 344 students partici- pated in LSU ' s English Language Orientation Program (ELOP) and 388 participated in the spring. LSU ' s ELOP was one of the first English orientation programs set up as a summer program in 1946, with 100 students. After the fall of 1947, the program became year-round. According to Andrew Yarrow, director of ELOP, the program is internationally well-known and one of the biggest of its kind. Foreign applicants are given a placement test and are organized into one of six levels according to these test scores. Each term is about 14 weeks: one beginning in September, one in Jan- uary, and one in April. The pro- gram consists of classes in spoken English, grammar, reading, com- position, and lab. The student is in class 22! 2 hours per week. The great majority of students, after completion of English train- ing, go on to get undergraduate degrees, Yarrow said. Due to LSU ' s high out-of-state admission requirements, the majority have to study elsewhere. The requirements for foreign students are the equiva- lent of a B average at their own school systems and a score of 450 on the TOEFL test. The TOEFL test, a test of English as a foreign language, is administered at the end of each term. Do most ELOP students achieve the 450 score on the test? No, according to Yarrow. Why? Most of the students quit after one term, or 14 weeks, of English training, Yarrow said. Financial reasons account for this as foreign students must pay $585 a term. Statistics show that the vast majority of first, second, third, and lower ability fourth-level students cannot make the 450-score requirement. A great number, however, get admitted to LSU by transfer from other Louisiana universities. They come to LSU by the back door, so to speak, Yarrow said. Most of these students are from Iran and Venezuela, said Erin Schmidt, director of the Interna- tional Student Office. These two countries are the most represented in the ELOP program, with 95 Ira- nians and 73 Venezuelans in the 344-student program. Why do these students choose LSU? Schmidt felt that LSU was a popular choice among international students because of the engineering preparation related to petroleum and the sub-tropical setting for agriculture. The warmer environ- ment was another factor cited by Schmidt. A lot of heavy-enrollment coun- tries are the same distance from the equator as we are, he said. Other reasons cited by Schmidt included LSU ' s ' reasonably priced tuition Byron Sketchier Deirdre Skolfield Darell Skrine David Slankard Mary Slatten Donna Sloan William Slocum Honora Sloss Al Smith 90 Roux Language and a comparably small cost to fly to Louisiana. How do foreign students do in an American university? Foreign stu- dents average a little bit above their American counterparts at LSU, Schmidt said. Some do have aca- demic difficulties, but it ' s usually for the same reasons that the Amer- ican students have trouble, not a language barrier. Schmidt felt that international students were on the whole, more conscientious. They are more moti- vated - - they came thousands of miles to come to school here. Additionally, international stu- dents here represent the more intel- ligent members of their country generally as large numbers are on scholarships. LSU ' s B average requirement for foreign students ' admissions weeds out many of the lower-ability students. International students enrolled in the university follow the same cur- ricula as their American counter- parts, with the exception of the English requirements. Edith Babin, an English instruc- tor who taught in ELOP for seven years, stated that the three English courses for foreign students, 0004. 1004. and 1005 were roughly equiv- alent to English 0006, 1001 and 1002. According to Babin, upper level ELOP students generally have no difficulty with university work. They are more motivated and more ambitious. They are some of our very best students. Other special classes for foreign students include an introduction to social life in the United States offered by the sociology depart- ment and a speech course in pro- nouncing the American version of English. 1. English dasses for foreign students concentrate on special problem areas that the international stu- dent encounters. 2. ELOP tuition does not cover the activities fee. presenting students from free admission to football games and from toting in student elections. 3. Sixteen students per class is ideal according to Yarrow, however, the ratio is actually 18 or 19 students per class. (Photos by Cahstt Smilh ! ;--._ - A Bfta MA .

The library science curriculum underwent a complete assessment this year. According to Act- ing Dean Sister Cairns, a core curriculum had to be developed to accommodate the recent changes hi Information. 2. The Graduate School of Busi- ness Administration experienced a steady increase during the past few years, and expected even larger enrollments in the future.

According to James Traynham, dean of the Graduate School, most people undertake graduate studies in order to meet the necessary requirements for the kind of jobs they want; however, a substantial number of graduate students pur- sue their studies for personal satis- faction. Associate Dean Carolyn Hargrave added, Graduate school allows the student the opportunity to go into in-depth studies and to produce original research. Since the fall of 1975, the gradu- ate school has been involved in a thorough review of all doctoral level programs. Some of the doctoral programs which have received quite a bit of praise are those of the geography and anthropology, history, chemis- try, physics, mathematics, geology, and chemical engineering depart- ments. The political science doc- toral program was dropped because of a particularly unfavorable review by the consultants and the Board of Regents. According to Associate Dean Hargrave, however, We don ' t anticipate this as a permanent thing. Many efforts are being made and will continue to be made to reestablish a quality program. Graduate school enrollment fig- ures show a 5.6 increase over last year, upping the enrollment to a total of 2726. The increase may not continue, however, as a raising of admission requirements is being considered. The minimum undergraduate grade point average acceptable for admis- sion to the school is a 2.5. According to Associate Dean Hargrave, the average GPA has increased from a 2.4 to a 2.8 in the past ten to fifteen years. The gradu- ate school may have to compensate for this grade inflation, said Har- grave. The primary reason that the Graduate Division of Education is a separate entity from the Graduate School is the GPA requirement, [the Graduate Division of Educa- tion] admit students with a 2.0-2.5 GPA, said Fred Smith, chairman of the education department. We (the Graduate Division of Educa- tion) admit students with a 2.0-2.5 routinely. We believe that those people with the lowest GPA need help the most, and we must admit them if we want to upgrade teach- ing in the state. We can fulfill that function without lowering the standards for Graduate School. About 800 people are enrolled in the Graduate Division of Educa- tion. This year, there has been a tre- mendous increase, according to Smith, because of Act 20, which forces the state to pay for the grad- uate education of teachers in Loui- siana. Areas of specialization include elementary, secondary, supervision, administration, guidance, reading, and special education. The doctorate and specialist pro- grams of the education college were removed from the accredited list of the National Countil for Accredita- tion of Teacher Education in Sep- tember of 1977. According to Edu- cation Dean Peter Soderbergh, LSU made a conscious choice in mid- 1976 to let accreditation lapse for the programs. When those teacher education programs are substantially improved in quality and LSU is confident of swift re- accreditation, the college will reap- ply for accredited status, Soder- bergh said. About 80 percent of the Master ' s degree students are part-time, according to Smith, and about 95 percent are already teachers. Part-time students are also wide- spread in the business administra- tion graduate program. Approxi- mately 50 percent of the students pursuing the Master of Business Administration degree are part- time. According to Lamar Jones, coordinator of graduate studies in business administration, the MBA program is specially designed for people who do not have undergrad- uate degrees in business. We have people with art, psychology, and history degrees. The program gives the arts and sciences student a flexi- bility in employment Jones added that employees are particularly partial to a technical undergraduate degree and MBA combination. About 50 percent of the MBA students are engineers. There are approximately 200 stu- dents enrolled in the Graduate School of Business Administration. The MBA is the perfect degree to have, Jones added. We have no trouble placing people. The job market is not as promis- ing for the Graduate School of Library Science students. This pro- gram holds the third largest enroll- ment of all graduate programs, a total of over 140 students; yet, according to Sister Cairns, the school ' s acting dean, the job market is tighter than it has been in the past. We do have jobs coming in, said Sister Cairns, if the person is mobile. Despite the lack of local availa- ble jobs, the acting dean believes the degree is an excellent one. The graduate degree in library science gives one a breadth of all knowl- edge and an assessment of how to categorize, organize, and deal with all knowledge. Above all, Sister Cairns added, it ' s a service opera- tion. One learns how to deal with people. Like the MBA program, no cate- gory of undergraduate degree is completely restricted, though the acting dean did recommend a broad liberal arts program. Unlike the MBA and education programs, the library science school is mostly a full-time program. The most important addition to the program this year was the com- puter terminal. According to Sister Cairns, Every student is being trained in how to use the terminal. CuolyiW ,. DuudWtfiieiptc Gradme School 95 Ph.D. Program Gets the Axe Who are those people and why are they saying all those terrible things about us? This may have been the question of the year for the Department of Political Science. Besides the much-discussed fir- ing and rehiring of Assistant Pro- fessor Paul Grosser, the depart- ment ' s Ph.D. program was termi- nated. Both actions were taken as a result of a negative appraisal of the department by a visiting team of outside consultants. Dieter Brunnschweiler, Michigan State University, John Fraser Hart, University of Minnesota, and Wil- bur Zelinsky, Pennsylvania State University, gave the department an extremely low rating for its lack of research. The consultants also reviewed the doctoral program in political science offered by the Uni- versity of New Orleans. The three- man team rated that department as superior to its Baton Rouge count- erpart, giving considerable praise to the UNO program and faculty. What exactly did the consultants object to in the LSU Ph.D. pro- gram? Problems listed by the con- sultants included a lack of agree- ment between faculty and adminis- tration as to the direction the department should be taking and an unsuited faculty for the accom- plishment of the aims of the pro- gram. One of the major problem areas the consultants commented on was research. The team stated that the faculty was not well ori- ented toward research. The consultants added that too few students were actually engaged in the doctoral program and that funding and library resources were inadequate. As a result of this low rating, the state Board of Regents for Higher Education formally approved the termination of the doctoral pro- gram in December. Chancellor Paul Murrill attempted to have the board simply declare a one-year moratorium on admissions, but was unsuccessful in his attempt. How did the department feel about the termination? Cecil Crabb, chairman of the Political Science Department, felt that the termination was an overreaction. Crabb stated that the problems listed were already being corrected and that some of the consultants ' findings were inaccurate. Crabb also felt that the much higher rating given the Ph.D. program in political science at UNO was somewhat unfair. 1 1 IK d I Karen Waguespack Kalhy Wakcfield Steven WakeficM Margaret Walderp Melmda Waldrop Mary Waldrup Debbie Walker Jen Walker Neva Walker % Roux Board Commends Geography Department Of the 12 academic disciplines reviewed in Phase III of the Doc- toral Review program. LSU ' s doc- toral program in geography was singled out by the Board of Regents as having achieved a distinguished level of academic excellence. After more than two years of study by the Board of Regents, the Board ' s decision to award a special commendation to LSL ' s Depart- ment of Geography and Anthropol- og was prompted by the report of a three-member panel of geogra- phers from Pennsylvania State. Michigan State, and Minnesota State. They were commissioned by the Regents to evaluate the pro- gram. The review committee described the LSL program as dis- tinctive and quite unlike that of any other in North America. Dr. Sam Hilliard. chairman of the Geography and Anthropology Department, was understandably proud of the program. We ' re very pleased with the report, flattered, but also realized that whenever you get such a glowing report and iden- tified as ... the best department in the country . . . [or] the best department on campus. . . it really puts pressure on us ... So we ' re proud but at the same time we feel that we have an even greater job to keep it at that level. hfilliard said.

Graduate School 97 Law School Law Center Becomes a Separate Entity The breeding ground for Louisia- na ' s governors, senators, represent- atives, and judges: the best law training in the state; and the lowest tuition of the major law schools in Louisiana are probably the three major reasons for going to LSU Law School. Our past three governors, Ken- non, McKeithen, and Edwards all graduated from LSU Law School. One graduating class, 1942. turned out four state judges, two federal judges, a governor, John McKeithen, and a U.S. Senator, Russell Long. The general rule has been that if someone is interested in Louisiana public office, he goes to LSU Law School. The Law School offers its stu- dents a chance to learn from several national authorities in their individ- ual aspects of the law. Saul Litvi- noff. an expert in the civil law of obligations and sales: Athanassios Yiannopoulos. respected for his knowledge of civil law property: and George Pugh. an authority on evidence, are among prominent LSU law faculty members. As a result of the faculty exper- tise and available course work. LSU Law School can boast that its grad- uates do better on the bar exam than students from Louisiana ' s other law schools. The most important and contro- versial change that the Law School has undergone has been the separa- tion of the school from LSU ' s Baton Rouge campus and its subse- quent renaming as the LSU Law Center. With the Board of Supervi- sors ' vote in late January to make the Law Center a separate entity, it has become an individual campus in the LSU system, requiring its own chancellor. Winston Day. the 1978 acting dean, expressed enthusiasm over the change. We ' re currently study- ing a variety of different things that we can now do as the Law Center, such as broadening our curriculum, increasing our continuing legal edu- cation program, and expanding into other areas of public service. Day said. I think that we are the envy of every other law school in the United States that does not have separate status as a law center. We ' re excited and optimistic about the prospects for the Law Center. Day added that he hoped the sep- aration would lead to better fund- ing and growing prominence in the area of civil law - - a prominence made available because Louisiana is the only state to base its law structure on civil rather than com- mon law. LSU President Martin Woodin was equally as enthusiastic about the possibilities the reorganization presented to the Law Center. Woo- din noted that the search for a chancellor of the Law Center is not restricted by time and will thus take on a national base for its search. Chancellor Paul Murrill. on the other hand, was against the idea of the Law Center separation from its inception. Murrill pointed out that in a faculty senate vote on the sepa- ration, all representatives voted against it except for one, the law school representative. An increasing enrollment in LSU Law Center has forced the faculty to recommend limiting the size of incoming classes to 375 students, which was subsequently approved by the Board of Supervisors. Even with this restriction, the school has KimberK Wallers MariKn Wallers Man.

The average class ranges from 50 to 70 students, with some ranging up to 150 enrolled. The administration is hopeful that the separation will lead to big- ger budgetary funding and the increase of the size of the faculty. 1. A la student studies for his final.

Or an unfair grade? What can he do if he is accused of breaking a uni- versity regulation? Or if he ' s having trouble with his landlord? Until recently, there was nowhere a student could turn for free legal advice. Now, that void is filled by the Ombudsman ' s Office. The office was established in the fall of 1974 as part of the Student Government Association. Students attending the LSU Law Center serve as members. This year, Les Leavoy, a second- year law student served as Ombuds- man. Sera Russell and Steve Brai- nin, both third-year law students, were assistant Ombudsmen. Art Smith served as a consulting attor- ney. Ombudsman is a Swedish word for representative. This is exactly what the ombudsmen do. They advise students on legal questions and can represent them on univer- sity-related matters. They cannot, however, represent them in court. For the small fee that students pay each semester, said Ombuds- man Les Leavoy, they receive, besides the other services the SGA provides, our services, free, and really, services of the whole law center. When we can ' t answer a question, we go to someone who can. We have professors who are brilliant in their specialties. Although a large portion of the student body does not take advan- tage of the services the ombuds- man ' s office provides, the office has proved to be successful and extremely beneficial to students who need legal assistance but can ' t afford a lawyer ' s fee. 1.

In good times, there ' s plenty of money around for good social service pro- grams, Wiest said. In bad times, they need us even more. How is the employment outlook for social welfare graduates? We don ' t get as much feedback as we ' d like to from students after they ' ve left the school, Wiest admitted. But, the dean said, on the whole, the job market is very good. A pro- fessional school must be concerned about the job market. About two years ago, we were worried, Wiest said. Now however, it appears that we ' re holding up well and I expect the market will get even better in the near future. What kind of jobs are available to a student with a Master ' s degree in social welfare, the degree offered by the school? According to Bruce Herrin, associate dean of social wel- fare, some of the more popular employment alternatives deal with foster home care and adoptions, child abuse, correctional institutes, the handicapped, special education, alchoholism, and the aged. Many other graduates go into administra- tive work and a few delve into research, according to Herrin. The variety of the types of jobs available requires a variety of train- ing programs within the school. Accordingly, the social welfare school offers six specializations: individual and family, group inter- vention, community intervention, corrections, administration, and research. This year, the school drew up a letter of intent for the addition of a seventh specialization option, social service planning. The school requires the student to choose two specializations. According to Wiest, the LSU School of Social Welfare is one of the few in the country, if not the only one, that requires two speciali- zations. Many schools offer a gen- eric program and many others limit the student to one specialization area. Why two specializations? We believe that we ' re striking the status of knowledge of the social welfare field at the right time, Wiest said. Eventually additional research will increase the amount of knowl- edge we have in these specializa- tions. When that time comes, it will be virtually impossible for a student to learn all there is to know about two specializations in two years ' time. Now, however, we have just the right amount of knowledge for a student to gain sufficient insight into two specializations. Along with the double specializa- tion requirement, the school also requires each student to spend two days a week of each of his four semesters in internship. This adds up to a total of 120 days spent in such internship settings as the Blun- don Orphanage Home, the Baton Rouge Mental Health Center, and the Probation Division of the Baton Rouge City Court.

All old people end up in nursing homes. Old people have no interest in sex. Old people are unable to perform sexually. All old people ' s minds deteriorate. Facts, right? Not according to Dr. David Blackwell of the School of Social Welfare. According to Blackwell, these are some of the myths that many people have accepted as facts concerning old people and the aging process. We would like to change socie- ty ' s attitude toward aging, Black- well said. How? A Project on Aging was founded in January of 1976, housed in the School of Social Welfare. Dr. Blackwell acts as project director, working with Sara Stockard, assist- ant director. According to Blackwell, the goal of the Project on Aging is three- fold. One overall objective is to more effectively meet the needs of the aged population and those interested in tnis age group, Black- well said. Another is to train per- sons to more effectively deliver ser- vices to the aged. Locally, we are interested in coordinating aging research and training by the univer- sity and developing a certificate of gerontology. We are also interested in coordinating aging research ger- ontology. We are also interested in conducting empirical research, Blackwell stated. Aging is a very natural process, Blackwell said. We lose so many brain cells per day but we don ' t have to sit around and be depressed about it. Some of the cells we lose we most probably wouldn ' t use anyway. Blackwell believed that aging should be viewed in a more positive manner. When an old person walks slowly, it is considered an incapability. When a two-year old child walks slowly, it is considered a wonderful achievement. Blackwell added that society should stop categorizing the aged into stereotypes and instead look at them for what they are as individu- als. For example. Blackwell said, just because an old person is alone, that does not mean that he is lonely. If he prefers being alone now, he probably preferred to be alone as a younger person. This is often mistakenly interpreted as being a case of mental introver- sion, Blackwell said. Society ' s negative attitude about aging is exemplified by the millions of dollars spent on cosmetics to stop the natural aging processes of the skin wrinkling, and of hair grey- ing, Blackwell commented. In addition, this negative attitude is also partly responsible for the sig- nificant number of elderly women living alone. Society generally approves of men marrying younger Annelte Wilson Charlotte Wilson Man, W T lson Sydney Wilson Michael Willhew Karen Wiltz Warren Wingerler Joseph Winn Virginia Winslon 104 Roux women, but frowns upon older women marrying younger men. Women outlive men by almost eight years, for reasons not yet fully understood, and the condoned pro- cedure for marriage leaves a huge gap in life expectancies of men and women living together. As a result, many older women must live the rest of their lives alone. Exactly what is the project doing to improve the situation? Work- shops and seminars are presented statewide, focusing on the needs of the retiree and the pre-retiree. Oth- ers focus on the needs of the social, psychological, and physical aspects of aging. Funding for the project during 1977 and 1978 was provided by Title XX of the Social Security Act. Through these funds, training in gerontology was offered to those working with older citizens and workshops on aging were offered throughout the state. Other activ- ities carried o n by the project included the offering of courses in LSU ' s Continuing Education pro- gram. Undergraduate courses were also offered in the spring semester, such as a night course in service to aged persons. A person who has lived 80 years has had much more time to experi- ence traumas and suffer losses than, say, a 40-year old. Blackwell added. However, if a 40-year old would experience the same amount of traumas, he would show the same psychological reactions an aged person does. 1.

(Badean) J B Wntz Jon Woe LedryWitdKr Ellen Witbcn Cindy Warner FredWitioer Harold Winy Lot Wo Social Welfare US School of Veterinary Medicine School Finds Greener Pastures Today ' s animal doctors are not only the physicians to America ' s pets, but they also bear a responsi- bility for the safety of foods of ani- mal origin, the quality of their envi- ronment, the control of diseases transmitted from animal to man, and the protection and production of the world ' s food supply. To prepare students for this responsibility, the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine has set up a unique unified program, separate from that of the Department of Veterinary Science. According to Dean Everett D. Besch, the program is called a core elective curriculum and it is based on contact hours, rather than credit hours for classroom attendance. The stress is placed on the actual time spent working with the ani- mals. In order to provide the best facili- ties possible, a new three story vet- erinary science building was con- structed occupying over 30,000 square feet. It now houses six major departments of the School of Veter- inary Medicine, and is composed of a teaching hospital, laboratories, classrooms, and offices. Final inspection of the building was completed in March. Total construction cost amounted to about $19 million. Ten million dollars in federal funds for construction was accepted by the University, which in turn agreed to accept approxi- mately 30 per cent of its Veterinary Medicine students from out-of- state. The school, for administrative purposes, is divided into six depart- ments, each specializing in teaching one aspect of veterinary medicine. Graduates have mastered all that each department could offer. In their first year, the normal structure and function of various animal systems are taught. The sec- ond year, students learn about chemicals, drugs, toxins, infectious agents and their effects. In the third year, students learn about the diag- nosis, therapy, and treatment of dis- eases. The fourth year is spent get- ting clinical training by treating patients at the Veterinary Hospital. During the first year, students spend much of their time in classes taught by the Department of Anat- omy and Fine Structure, headed by Dr. Charles Titkemeyer, who is also the chairman of admissions. Titkemeyer explained, Our admissions policy is the most hon- est and fair in the world. There is no discrimination and no quotas. We take students 75% by their grades and test scores and 25% by their let- ters of recommendation and other documents. Other departments included clin- ical sciences, which is the hospital; microbiology and parasitology; pathology; physiology, pharmacol- ogy and toxicology; and epidemiol- ogy and community health. Dean Besch and the heads of the departments are satisfied with the way the school is progressing, for when the School of Veterinary Medicine was set up in 1968, it had a plan. We were one of the first Veteri- nary Medicine Schools in the coun- try to set up a 100% program. For the last ten years we have been fol- lowing a timetable of events, a mas- ter plan devised when the school was conceived, Besch said. The LSU Veterinary School ini- tially opened in 1973. The first graduating class graduated in May of 1977, one month after the school was fully accredited.

Behind Alex Box Stadium on South Stadium Road sit the interim offices of the Small Animal Clinic and the Large Animal Clinic. Although the clinics ' present facili- ties were intended for use for a period of 90 days when it opened in November, 1975, the clinics awaited their new facilities in the new School of Veterinary Medicine much longer. With Dr. Don Linguard as direc- tor, the clinics ' services are availa- ble to the public as well as the uni- versity community. The clinics are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. by appointment only. The clinics also provide 24 hour emergency services. The little critters of the world find help at the Small Animal Clinic. According to Emily Van Loon, small animal technician, We treat dogs and cats as well as parrots, skunks, and gerbils. Some of the more unusual patients were a tiger and a huge turtle from the Baton Rouge Zoo, a peacock and a runaway hawk. The Large Animal Clinic treats livestock, including a large number of race horses. Since moving the larger animals can be a problem, the clinic provides house calls through its ambulatory services. We treat a large number of referrals from other veterinarians, said Ms. Van Loon. Besides hav- ing better facilities here, our staff also includes a dermatologist, an ophthalmologist, a gastroenterolo- gist, and other specialists. Fees at the animal clinics are comparable to prices vets charge. Our animal clinics aren ' t in com- petition for profits. We are only a teaching institution, said Ms. Van Loon. Some people have the mis- conception that their pets will be treated by students, but that ' s not the case. Doctors treat the pets and senior veterinary students assist them. Before the move to the new Vet School, the main problem at the clinics was overcrowding according to Dr. Renee McGrath, dermatolo- gist. Since our opening, the staff has doubled. We had one surgery room and three surgeons, said Dr. McGrath. Although the staffs of the clinics disliked the previous cramped con- ditions, they are now content with the new clinic facilities. 1.

More people all over the world are taking advantage of the chances offered them and LSU students are no exception. There have been three major for- eign study programs set up along with departmental excursions to help students get away from it all. The Division of Continuing Edu- cation sponsored the three struc- tured study programs that offer anywhere from three to six hours ' credit. Classes in art, architecture, history, language, and politics were held until noon, then students were allowed to spend the rest of the day wandering the cities and country- sides. The fee for the LSU-London trip was about $1000 which includes tuition, air-fare, room, theatre tick- ets and tours. Dr. Ramon Arango, who taught British politics in London said, London is the number one tourist spot. It is not forbidding and fast paced like New York and it is easy to get around in. London is an enormously civilized and safe place to visit. The adventuresome on the LSU- Mexico trip may have found them- selves climbing pyramids, swim- ming in glamorous Acapulco pools, listening to Spanish guitars, danc- ing to Latin rhythms and the latest disco groups for the low price of $775. What was unique about this program was that students could live with families in Mexico City who have been hosting LSU stu- dents for years and know first-hand all of the most exciting things to do and see in the city. For those students who were fluent in French, a month visit was offered this summer to Quebec in an old-world city called Orleans. Louisianians and the Quebecois had much in common: language, history, culture, love of good food and the good things in life - - but students who planned to participate were urged to learn French before arriving on their shores. Many of the separate depart- ments on campus sponsored week- end to two week combination learn- ing-and-fun trips all over the coun- try. The fine arts department has sponsored an excursion to New York City during Thanksgiving to see the museums, which has been a favorite of students, for the past few years. There was also a visit to San Francisco during spring break. Landscape Architecture Depart- ment Head Robert Reich and fac- ulty member Max Conrad have sponsored an economical bus trip to the East Coast during Thanks- giving break and a trip to the West Coast during Christmas vacation for the past few years. Students got a first-hand look at what was going on in the centers for landscape design in the country when they toured such cities as San Francisco, New York, and Boston. 110 Roux 1.

Selection was based not only on creditable scholarship, but it also recognized those who have shown an outstanding quality of leadership in the affairs of student life; an effective influence as a cam- pus citizen; and a record of service to and for their fellow students and Alma Mater. Since 1939, LSU has submitted names of some of its outstanding students to the publication WHO ' S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES. Over 1,100 institutions of higher learning in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and several foreign nations partici- pate in this program. At LSU, it is traditional that a basic qualification for this honor is that the student is expected to receive the Bachelor ' s, Law, or Graduate degree during the current academic year. In order for a student on the Baton Rouge campus to be recog- nized by listing in Who ' s Who, a selection committee composed of six students and three University Faculty and Staff members must choose from nominations submit- ted to them by the faculty and administration, and also from rec- ommendations from deans, direc- tors, and other University person- nel. The committee evaluates the students ' scholarship ability, partic- ipation and leadership in academic and extracurricular activities, citi- zenship and service, and potential for future achievement. The com- mittee is given a minimum and maximum number of students that may be selected by the National Who ' s Who organization. These numbers are a percentage of the total student population on a particular campus. The selection procedure is cur- rently under review since some feel- ings exist that many outstanding students are eliminated from Who ' s Who Selection by the recommenda- tion process. A student must first be recommended by a member of the university personnel in order to be considered for this honor. Mrs. Julia W. Farris, Chairman of the Who ' s Who Selection Committee, has sent letters to other universities concerning this issue in order to obtain various viewpoints on the selection procedure. No revisions have been made to date. 1. Annrose Mary Guarino graduated from the Col- lege of Agriculture this past May.

Registration . Registration . Unfortunately, registration can- not be forgotten. It is as much a part of University life as football Saturdays and cramming for exams. And this year ' s registration was no different. ' This fall, 24.880 stu- dents tried to pick up their packets. ( Just five minutes early? ) crowded into the Assembly Center and spent the better part of the next three days jogging from table to advisor to table -- all in search of that one. elusive class card. Every semester, students clamor for a better system of registration. Administrators maintain that this is the best system: preregistration pre- cludes most scheduling problems that would normally crop up at reg- istration. But even for the lucky student whose packet is found to contain all the class cards he preregistered for, registration is a pain. He goes to the scholarship table to pick up his check, and is told to go to the Bur- sar ' s Office. The girl at the Bursar ' s Office tells him to go to Student Aid, where he is told, We just sent your check up to the scholarship table in the Assembly Center. The weary student is pushed, yelled at ( Student insurance sta- tion! Fill out the pink slip and go to any table on the right! ), herded into lines ( C ' mon . . . single file and straight down to get your I.D. cards ) and finally bombarded as he straggles out of the Assembly Center, by clubs and organizations on all sides ( Here take an anti- abortion pamphlet! . . . Sign this petition to get Mike a new cage! . . . Buy this book of discount coupons and use them all semes- ter! ). Registration is indeed a hassle. But it ' s a necessary one in order to insure the proper working of the University bureaucracy. After all, if registration was too easy, how could students look forward to the start of a fresh semester? 1.

(Long) 122 Main Ingredients Dormitories Grow in Popularity Where can a student live and be assured three hot meals a day, no phone bill, no utility bills, conven- ient access to classes and a gener- ally friendly environment of fellow students? Where else but the dorm? Wak- ing up for a 9:30 class at 9:20 is a convenience only dormitory stu- dents know. But do the advantages of dorm life outweigh the disadvantages? Luxuries such as entertaining the opposite sex at home and the use of alcoholic beverages can no longer be used as arguments in favor of off-campus housing. Housing Option IV provides the student with the freedom to come and go as and when he pleases, regular visitation by the opposite sex, and alcohol in the rooms. In fact, the housing office has experienced an increase in dorm a residents this year over last year. The fall of 1977 showed a dorm occupancy of 6,674 over the 6,537 total dorm residents in the fall of 1976. Total occupancy capacity for on-campus housing at the current rating per room is 7.398. Residence halls had experienced slight decreases in the preceding two years. Why the sudden increase? Morris Welch, associate director for business affairs in housing, cited two major reasons for the increase in dorm occupancy. LSU is doing a much better job of recruiting than other universities in the state, said Welch, and secondly, they just aren ' t building apartments any- more. Baton Rouge is growing and there just aren ' t as many affordable apartments available. Although we have been increasing the dorm rates, apartments are keeping right with us, if not ahead of us. Rates for dorm residency per semester ranged from $92 per semester in South Stadium to $399 per semester for the first floor of Kirby Smith Hall. There was a 2.72 per cent increase in dorm rates this year over last year. How did these figures compare with apartment complex rates? Tigerland complex Tiger Plaza monthly rates ranged from $225 for an unfurnished one-bedroom apart- ment to $420 for a three-bedroom Dormitory Off-Campus Housing 123 Dormitory and Of f -Campus Housing . . continued furnished apartment. Fountainbleau, another popular student-filled complex located on Highland Road, holds similar rates - $210 for a one-bedroom unfur- nished to $420 for a three-bedroom furnished apartment. Both com- plexes required a $100 deposit and utilities are paid by the owner. The rates were a little cheaper north of campus. College Park Apartments, northwest of campus on Aster Street, specified rates ranging from $189 for a one-bed- room unfurnished apartment to a $237 monthly rent for a two-bed- room furnished. The deposit required was the equivalent of one- month ' s rent. Varsity Village, northeast of cam- pus on July Street, offered a one- bedroom unfurnished at $202 per month and a three-bedroom fur- nished at $317 to $347. Park Plaza on Park Boulevard offered even cheaper rates at $140 to $150 for a one-bedroom unfur- nished to $205 for a two-bedroom furnished. Of course, cheaper rates than these can be found in efficiency apartments and in rooms rented by families. The privacy that apart- ment dwellers have, however, may make up for the extra cash spent on rent, phone bills and utility bills. A large portion of the students lived in houses, which were usually unfurnished and a little more expensive, depending on the neigh- borhood. Available and affordable houses were hard to find; however, the privacy offered by houses were unsurpassed by dorms or apart- ments.

Yours very grumblingly, Hope I never get hurt on campus Waguespack The basis for students ' com- plaints was the absurdity involved: students had to park their cars on the lots on the very outskirts of campus, while faculty members and administrators could take five steps out of their automobiles and be in their offices. The problem was only aggra- vated by Campus Police ' s seem- ingly endless delight in ticketing student vehicles while students asserted that staff vehicles were given preferential treatment. The parking problem on campus had been debated by students and administrators many times in the past, but this year ' s sit uation seemed far worse than ever before. Ralph Gossard, vice chancellor for student affairs, admitted the shortage of available student park- ing spaces on campus, but said no steps were being taken to alleviate the overcrowded parking condi- tions. The traffic control center on campus listed 6,917 parking spaces designated for students only, while the number of student parking stickers hit the 28,000 mark August 15. Due to the stadium expansion project ' s work area, the available parking in the West Stadium lot decreased, forcing students to park on yellow lines, in staff parking areas, in the mud across from the baseball stadium or in giant potholes along the street. Students started offering solu- tions to the problem: build a high- rise parking facility for staff and faculty cars, re-establish the Tiger Trains to transport students from the Ag Center and Stadium lots, eliminate parking restrictions at the Union. These solutions were considered not financially feasible by the administration. University officials contended that with the opening of new buildings (CEBA, Vet Medi- cine, Systems Administration), more parking spaces would become available. Yet these spaces are even further from campus than the Sta- dium or Kirby Smith Lots. The everyday commuter parking problem was supplanted this year by a petition started by married stu- dents in protest of overcrowded parking conditions due to Assem- bly Center activities. The petition was drawn up by students living in the married stu- dent apartment complex on Nichol- son Drive and in dorms near the Assembly Center. Some community interest was generated by the petition, but little action was taken by the University. Administrators maintained that since LSU was a public institition supported by public funds, it must provide parking for events at the Assembly Center. One result was the presence of a wrecker at the Assembly center events to tow away any car block- ing entrances, exits or another car. So it looks like the parking situa- tion on campus will get worse before it gets better. What counts, though, is that students be willing to get actively involved in searching for solutions. It seems that ' s the only way the problem will ever get solved. 1. Parking space on streets closest to classroom areas, such as West Campus Drive, were allotted for faculty use. (Meredith) 2. Students were forced to park on the outf ringes of campus, such as the crowded West Stadium lot. After heavy rains, the lot was often Hooded. (Long) 3. According to Police Sergeant Clayborne Gilbert, a total of 28,597 parking tickets were issued and 872 vehi- cles were towed due to parking violations from August to May. (Trufant) 126 Main Ingredients Parking Problems 127 Free Speech Alley Lives On Back in the 60 ' s, when college campuses across the nation were in turmoil, the OF War Skule stayed relatively calm. Students went to class and there were few incidents of protest. However, there was Free Speech Alley. The Alley back then hummed. Topics included drugs, the war, women ' s rights, integration and the Underground. In a heated debate concerning civil rights, a white stu- dent and a black friend even pricked their fingers to show the sameness of their blood. David Duke, former student and now a Ku Klux Klan leader, fired up the Alley audiences in the late 60 ' s and early 70 ' s with his white supremacy speeches. In other words, the Alley back then was interesting. However, the campus soapbox now seems nothing more than a bore. The same tired topics reli- gion, the SGA, the Iranian Students Association (ISA) included - - are beaten into the ground weekly. It ' s not that the speakers don ' t try. They believe in what they ' re saying. They just say it too many times. Even the debate is a farce. Religious speakers are sometimes not even given the courtesy to finish talking. Loudmouths in the crowd shout for them to prove God ' s exist- ence. Of course, without written proof, they are not satisfied. The result is Free Speech Alley: a bor- ing way to spend an afternoon. The Alley did come up for air once during the fall of 1977. The subject was the proposed tiger cage expansion, and the debate was hard and concrete. A larger than usual crowd listened. However, things returned to nor- mal in succeeding weeks. The Irani- ans blasted the Shah and accused the U.S. government of collabora- tion. Frank Boston said the end is near. Charles Poe condemned Christianity. Former SGA presi- dent Ted Schirmer, an Alley regu- lar, criticized the SGA, the Reveille and the Baton Rouge press. Typi- cal. The smallness of the crowds shows it. Free Speech Alley is, unfortunately, a bore. M 128 Main Ingredients 1.

A fire on the sixth floor of Miller Hall one Sunday morning in Octo- ber resulted in more than $100.000 in damage. The entire floor was evacuated. The cause of the fire was attrib- uted to a coed ' s faulty extension cord. Although no one was injured, many personal items were lost due to extensive smoke damage. The elementary wing of the Uni- versity Laboratory School was destroyed by fire October 16. result- ing in over $578.000 in damages. As a result of the fire, grades one through six moved to the Panhel- lenic House. An automobile fire in the parking lot behind the school and the van- dalism of several nearby cars led officials to suspect arson. Keith Hardwick. an LSU sopho- more from Haughton. Louisiana, was charged with alleged aggra- vated arson for the Lab School fire, along with counts of simple arson and a burglar, charge. An instrument room on the sev- enth floor of the new Chemistry- Biochemistry Building was exten- sively damaged on November 9 when a refrigerator exploded in the room. The explosion was caused when chemical vapors accumulated in the freezer compartment of the refriger- ator. The vibrations from the explo- sions displaced a 15-foot section of the seventh floor ceiling and one wall of the instrument room. When the fire was discovered, students tried to put it out using fire hoses in the building, but the hoses would not work. A chemistry pro- fessor poured ten canisters of car- bon dioxide on the fire, trying to get it under control before the fire department arrived. The fire was contained in one room, where tanks of oxygen and hydrogen are housed. These gases and other chemicals were potential explosives themselves. The smoke-sensing devices in the almost brand-new building were not working at the time of the fire. A chemistry professor said some of the devices had fallen off the wall due to poor construction. After a one-hour evaluation, stu- dents were instructed to stay off the sixth and seventh floors because of vapors circulating in the air. A blaze on the second floor of Power Hall on Wednesday, Febru- ary 2. was attributed to the cause of unknown origin by the fire chief. The fire, in room 134 of Power 1- B. was spotted at 7:50 p.m. by the room ' s resident. No one was in the room at the time. The student noticed smoke and flames coming from the door of his room and he pulled the fire alarm. Two students tried to put the fire out using extinguishers before the fire department arrived. Though the two extinguishers grabbed by the students were full, several others in the dorm were found to be empty or broken. Residents were allowed back into the dorm after 40 minutes. There was no estimate of the damage. On Tuesday, February 21. fire- man raced to Kirby Smith Dorm only to find a lot of smoke but no fire. A tenth floor resident was burn- ing cancelled checks and other doc- uments in a skillet in his room. The smoke from the window alerted a coed, who called the fire depart- ment. Off campus, a fire causing $25,000 in damage occurred in the Fontainbleau Apartment complex on Highland Road on Thursday, March 3. The apartment, shared by four LSU coeds, was empty when the blaze was discovered by a student living in the complex. As flames and smoke poured from the broken windows, the student went inside the apartment to check for occu- pants. The fire was apparently caused when the stove was left on. There was $20,000 damage done to the interior of the apartment. Damage to furniture and contents was $5.000. Fires 131 MD Marathon Reaps $15,000 A goal of $25.000 and a lively parade kicked off six days of activi- ties, marking LSU ' s seventh con- secutive Muscular Dystrophy Mar- athon. October 30. The week-long affair provided eating contests, dancing, football, and fun. After Sunday ' s parade, a cheer- ing and banner contest, a flag foot- ball match between the local TV station. WAFB. and the WIBR radio station, and a haunted house set spirits in motion for the six days ahead. Delta Delta Delta Sorority triumphed in the cheer and banner contest, while the football match ended in a draw. Monday ' s main marathon activi- ties featured hair cuts by Lock- works, a Baton Rouge hair salon, and a little football action from Governor Edwin Edwards. Mike Weil. Phi Kappa Psi member, proved to the crowd Tuesday that he could consume 26 beignets in 15 minutes, winning first place in beig- net-eating contest at Coffee Call. With Wednesday designated as Dollar Day, students found sorority sisters manned with Kentucky Fried Chicken buckets everywhere - in front of the library, by the Union, and at the entrance to the Life Science building. The sorority members were collecting donations for the cause. Chucker, a well-known WLCS radio disc-jockey, kissed 3221 girls by late Wednesday night, topping the previous world-record of 3125 kisses in 8 hours. A pizza-eating contest, a street dance behind the Chi Omega house, and a Delta Kappa Epsilon- Kappa Kappa Gamma Dance-a- thon were also held Wednesday. The flag football match of the day featured Zachary ' s Ladies Pow- der Puff team and USL ' s champion intramural team. Thursday brought an egg-throw- ing contest sponsored by Delta Delta Delta, a jitterbug contest, and a skateboard competition. Of course, the whole time, flag- football continued around the clock, drawing to a close Friday evening, with the final match. The Pump ' N ' Station beat the Broad- moor Key Club 4325 to 4 1 89. Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority won the Marathon Sweepstakes Award for the third consecutive year. Although the $25,000 goal was not reached, the six days of fun and games reaped $15,000. The dona- tions collected during the week were presented at the Jerry Lewis National Muscular Dystrophy Telethon held every year in Las Vegas. 1.

The other ailments carried by Mike III, that set in with old age, can presumably be post- poned with the completion of the tiger cage expansion project. The present 27-by 35-foot cage with an adjoining stucco housing facility originally cost $3,500 and was called elaborate in 1936. The crusade for a new cage began in 1975 with the Interfrater- nity Council heading the drive. To speed things up. Student Govern- ment Association President Jay Dardenne formed a Tiger Cage Expansion Committee and named Kay Sudduth, head of the Commu- nity Affairs Department, responsi- ble for soliciting donations and making public the need for a new cage. By federal standards, the cage is large enough, but Mike ' s veterina- rian Dr. W. Sheldon Bivin said, Improvements will help his health and make caring for him easier. So far $12,000 of the needed $30,000 to $40,000 has been col- lected from mail-in donations, from money collected outside the foot- ball stadium during games, and from the Mike the Tiger Telethon aired on Channel 33 in October. Plus, in February, the Athletic Department agreed to match funds raised by the LSU students to a maximum of $20,000. So, technically, at this point, we have $24,000 for the project, Dardenne said. The athletic department will also match ' in kind ' gifts like mate- rials, labor, and services such as consulting architects, if the Cage Expansion Committee assesses a comparable value to the item, said Sudduth. All of the improvements will be in Mike ' s exercise area which will be expanded to include a stream with a waterfall into a small swim- ming pool and a large grassy area. Bivin said, For the tiger, cooling off in water is better than air condi- tioning. It lowers the chances of him catching pneumonia. Pool exercise is great for his joints it lessens the chance of arthritis set- ting in. In a swimming pool, Mike will be able to get exercise without hav- ing pressure on his sore foot pads, added Sudduth. Both Sudduth and Dardenne would like to see construction begin this year but we don ' t even have a tentative date as of yet, said Sud- duth. 1. A promotional campaign was held at Corporate Mall in October in order to make the public aware of Mike ' s need for a new cage. 2. Delta Delta Delta sorority won a $100 gift certificate for their winning banner. The sorority donated the money to the Tiger cage project. 3.

These funds helped more than 2,700 students, who needed financial assistance to continue their education. The average stu- dent worker was paid approxi- mately $900 during the school year. Leslie Lavergne, the director of the Office of Student Aid and Scholarships, noted that the cam- pus student workers were divided into two different programs. The first were those 1,700 students who were hired directly by campus insti- tutions. The rest of the students were part of the federally funded Work-Study programs. The office guaranteed jobs to those students who filled out appropriate applications and showed a genuine financial need. The average campus jobs required 15 hours a week and paid between $2.50 and $2.80 per hour. The Union, the Assembly Center, the library and the cafeterias were the largest employers of student workers on campus. Some of the more interesting jobs reported by students included feed- ing animals in the Life Science building, bee-keeping, and rock cutting and polishing. One student employed by the Institute for Envi- ronmental Studies worked week- ends making tests on salt domes. Another student worked as a butcher for food services. Of course, a large majority of stu- dents worked off-campus. Some worked at local stores and restau- rants; others delved into part-time office work. Many students worked at positions which correlated to their major fields of study. 1. The LSI Union was one of the largest employ- ers of student workers on campus. 2. Student worker Vanessa Banta flipped through old test files in the library ' s copy service. (Photos by Long) 136 Main Ingredients Flexible Hours Ease Work Load A psychology major from Pla- quemine, Vanessa Banta has worked in the copy service area of the LSU Library for 2Vi years. She put in 13 hours a week in what she said was the hardest area of the library to work. The service was kept busy copy- ing journals, old graduate theses and reference materials. It also duplicated old tests on file. I must have copied the whole library twice myself, she joked. Vanessa enjoyed her job because it was close to her school work and she was able to get off to study and work around her tests. One disadvantage of the job was that it paid minimum wage with 5 a seme ster raise. When the mini- mum wage went up, Vanessa lost her relatively high pay and was at the new minimum wage level, along with new student workers. She used her earnings as spending money. Vanessa, who finished school in August, had no plans at the time for after graduation. itf Uf Student Worths 137 Student Workers . continued Parasitology Experiment Trains Pre-Vet Feeding 15 ponies was the job of sophomore Lezli Germany, 22, a pre-vet major. The ponies were part of a parasi- tology experiment in the Veterinary Science Department and ranged in age from one day to a couple of months old. Lezli got the job after inquiring about part-time work rel- ated to Vet Science and animals. Lezli mixed the formula and heated the bottles for the younger ponies, and fed the older ones. She handled the 7 p.m. and 11 p,m. feedings on weekdays and five feed- ings on weekends at 8 a.m., noon, 4 p.m., 7 p.m., and 1 1 p.m. The job takes about 20 hours a week and it ' s right up my alley, Lezli said. She has worked on a brood mare farm and has had lots of experience with horses and ponies, including two of her own. Lezli began at LSU in the fall of ' 74, but was forced to withdraw after one semester due to family problems. Lezli returned this spring after an interim period in Char- lottesville, Virginia. She lives in Tigerland with her husband, Mike Powers, a fine artist, and two dogs, and wishes she had a place for a horse here. The whole time I was out of school, I wanted to come back. This spring was the first chance I had, Lezli explained. She admitted hav- ing problems readjusting, especially in reestablishing study patterns. She sometimes thought she may have been overcompensating and over- doing herself, but she knew Vet School was what she wanted and there was a lot of pressure involved. I returned with more desire, knowledge and maturity to attack school the way I should, Lezli said. Because her husband is putting her through school, she doesn ' t want to waste time and was squeezing as much in as possible - meaning a heavy courseload. Her job with the ponies didn ' t interfere with classes, although on weekends she sometimes scheduled activities around the job. I ' m not tempted to go to bed early by wait- ing for the 1 1 p.m. feeding, Lezli said. It makes me stay up and study. During high school Lezli worked at both large and small animal clin- ics. My love of animals and being scientifically oriented naturally pointed to my becoming a vet, something I ' ve wanted since I was a small child. Han 138 Main Ingredients 1.

Webster Harrison worked OB aa advertisement for a political candidate at Empire Advertising Agency in Baton Rouge. (Photos by Long) Design Work Lays Out Advertising Future Twenty-one-year-old Webster Harrison is a senior advertising major planning a December gradu- ation. Aside from attending LSU full-time, he was the creative and art director of Empire Advertising Agency in town. Webster was involved mainly in the conceptual stage of advertising, doing mostly print ads and all design work giving the look to a campaign. A native of Ferriday. Webster began at Empire in December where working hours are generally his own. He could come and go as he pleased, as long as the job got done. Even when he was not at the office, he thought about his work. My ideas come up at strange times. I get my best ideas before I go to sleep. One bad point about the job he noted was when an appointment falls during a class, you have to decide where your priority lies. In working with various clients, Webster said that many [clients] think they know all about advertis- ing when they are wrong, wrong, wrong we are not waiters and waitresses, but professionals. Asked if he worked to put him- self through school, he said. I like living comfortably but it ' s not the money that keeps me at the job, it ' s the experience and the love of the field [advertising]. Webster found his job a new challenge everyday. He commented that Baton Rouge was a growing market but a bit conservative. There are a lot of things I like to do but they are too young for Baton Rouge, I have to watch myself. During high school, Webster worked on the Concordia Sentinel and became interested in journal- ism. He began his freshman year in architecture and felt the basic design courses gave him an edge. So far, he felt that the advertising curriculum in the Journalism Department had almost adequately prepared him for the real world. The whole agency concept is lacking, along with the emphasis of more creative techniques, Webster pointed out, adding, although you need the basics, on-the-job-learn- ing-experience is most important.

Fresh- men and seniors alike asked, Who is Josh? Their questions were answered on January 18, when Josh McDowell, an award-winning speaker and author of a best-selling book, arrived on campus. He came as a representative of the Campus Crusade for Christ to deliver three speeches, free, and open to the pub- lic. People did go, mostly out of curi- osity, to hear his lectures: The Great Resurrection Hoax, The Future Tellers, and Maximum Sex. They dealt with the questions of Christ ' s resurrection, reincarnation, and the totality of love. Nearly four thousand people attended his last lecture on maxi- mum sex in the Assembly Center. Josh stated his belief The most important sex organ you have is your mind . . . Until you can con- trol your sex life, you ' re not free; you ' re in bondage to your pas- sions.

Crouch invited the audience to clap and sing along as the Disciples combined guitars, drums, bass, piano, and an organ in a unique jazz-rock-gospel-soul sound. Crouch ' s message to the crowd was summed up by the drummer ' s salvation story, The real fulfillment in life is accepting Jesus Christ.

The Iranian Student Association claimed administration policy toward them was a direct result of pressure from the Carter adminis- tration which supports the Shah. The ISA also accused the Rev- eille of being paid by the Shah. Why did the ISA make such accusations? A committee on student conduct placed two ISA officers on proba- tion. During most of the hearing, about 35 Iranian students and sup- porters marched around the parade ground and picketed Thomas Boyd Hall, where the meeting was held. The committee met as a result of the organization president and vice- president ' s failures to attend a meeting called by James Reddoch. vice-chancellor for student affairs. A spokesman for the ISA said one of the officers received his notice the day after the meeting date. The other student did not receive his notice until the day before the appointment, the spokes- man said. That meeting was called to dis- cuss the ISA ' s November 9 march to the Baton Rouge State Capitol to protest the Shah of Iran ' s visit to the United States. About 40 masked students and supporters participated in the march. One student was arrested for alleged violation of the group ' s pro- test permit. He refused to identify himself to police or campus officials and was charged with disturbing the peace. 1. The protestors, according to ice-Chancellor Reddoch. disobeyed the provisions of their assem- bl permit, which did not allow for marching, amplification or chanting. 2. Protestors wore masks to avoid identification by the Shah ' s secret police. State law forbids the wearing of masks during demonstrations. 3. Gary Durham. Campus Police chief, confronted a masked participant in the Iranian protest of the Shah.

Nevertheless, it did prosper. Replacing Tigerland ' s Zachary ' s and Fap ' s as the places to go in Baton Rouge, were Dax, then Beef- master ' s, and then the ultimate in discomania the 2001 Entertain- ment Complex. Dax, modeled after New York discotheques, entertained older clientele with easy listening music until 10 p.m. when disco music was turned on. Backgammon tables, competition dart boards, and a large screen TV were located in the nightclub. Beefmaster ' s, in the Rodeway Inn, featured nightly specials, including a disco fashion show on Tuesday nights and La Femme Mystique dance troupe on Thurs- days. Despite the small dance floor, the lounge proved popular for disco dancing. Then in April, a new member of a national chain of discotheques, 2001, opened up. The complex fea- tured live music in the V.I. P. room, a game room, and the Big Ball- room , where disco music was played by a disc jockey. Computer- operated lights and magazine ads flashed on the walls illuminating the ballroom. Even the Kingfish, renowned for its progressive rock concerts, suc- cumbed to the powers of discoma- nia. The concert hall began featur- ing disco dance contests on Thurs- day nights, that is, until the manag- ers decided to open only for peri- odic performances. This year, the Kingfish offered such national acts as Bonnie Raitt, Pure Prairie League, and Randy Newman; and also served as somewhat of a springboard for Louisiana ' s LaRoux. Besides offering progressive rock, jazz, blues, and country perform- ances, the Kingfish also offered punk rock acts, including the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, and the Run- aways. Located closer to campus were the perennial Highland Road bars. The Bengal and the White Horse, particularly popular on Friday afternoons with Greeks, joined in the disco scene. However, those LSU students who did not catch the disco fever, did seek and find refuge. Right across the street from the White Horse, the Brass Rail offered a shel- ter from the disco scene. The Rail continued its 25C bourbon special on Friday afternoons and featured a wide variety of music, excluding disco. The Longbranch Saloon and the Pump N ' Station also offered more FM style music and Friday after- noon specials. Non-disco places that doubled as restaurants and bars which LSU students frequented were Poet ' s, the Caterie and Chelsea Street Pub. 144 Main Ingredients ::- 1.

The media has had such an enor- mous effect on the dress of many college men and women that the Farrah hair for women and the John Travolta lakefront down-the- middle part look for men can be found everywhere. The big fashion item this season, reported a local area clothing sales- man, was the button-down shirt. Button-downs have been around since Adam, said the salesman. However, he said, because of the popularity this season it was dif- ficult to keep them in stock. The look was traditional. Tradi- tional meant button-down shirts, army fatigues, izods, top-siders, painters ' paints, khaki wallabees, and weejuns. Solid colors and natu- ral fibers were also indicative of the traditional Ivy-league, or preppy look. The overwhelming popularity of the look was not only the comfort and styling of the clothes, but also the ease in coordination. The basic colors were yellow, blue and white. The fabric was cotton, the most comfortable and natural fiber. Khaki went with top-siders; izods with khakis, painters ' pants, army fatigues and blue jeans. Of course, blue jeans never died - they just got more expensive. The more they were worn, the more comfortable they got. Levi Strauss reported record sales this year and noted that the basic jeans were sell- ing faster than could be manufac- tured. 1. A spring fashion show in the Union featured the newest swimsuit styles. (Wozniak) 2. High-heeled sandals with ankle straps were in vogue this year.

On January 19, 1978, it snowed in Baton Rouge for the first time since March of 1973. According to WBRZ-TV Weatherman Terry Burhans, about two inches of snow fell that afternoon. Was the snow anticipated by the city ' s weathermen? I didn ' t expect it, said Burhans. I don ' t think anyone did. Besides the snowfall, how did this year ' s weather compare to past years? This winter was not as cold as last year ' s, but this year has seen an above-normal amount of rain, Burhans said. From the 10-month span of August 1977 to May 1978, about 48 inches of rain fell on Baton Rouge, about two inches more than usual. December received the most rain, over 13 inches, and August received the least none. The highest temperature recorded during the 10-month span was 95 on August 8; the coldest temperature recorded was 24 on January 10. What did Burhans predict for future outlooks on the weather? The winters are getting colder and colder. According to weather information sources, 1981, 82, and ' 83 are going to be incredibly cold. According to this forecast, Baton Rouge may not have to wait another five years for more snow. 1. An above-normal amount of rain fell on the city this year, according to Channel 2 Weatherman Terry Burhans. (Daniel) 2. Approximately two inches of snow fell on Baton Rouge in January. (Schultz) 3. The greatest amount of rainfall, 13.95 inches, was recorded in December. (Schrodt) 4. High typically humid temperatures in late spring brought students out to sunbathe. (Owen) 5.

(Meredith) 148 Main Ingredients Weather 149 150 Main Ingredients Enthusiasm Brews for Riverside Centroplex The Riverside Centroplex is Baton Rouge ' s most recent achieve- ment and since its opening in December of 1977. nothing but enthusiasm has been brewing from the 35.000 square-foot civic com- plex. The Centroplex. with a seating capacity of 12.000. was responsible for such quality concerts this year as Jackson Browne. Karla Bonoff. Leon and Mary Russell. Steve Mar- tin and Bob Seger. Not only does the Centroplex handle pop entertainment, but many sports activities are also regu- lar attractions, including a basket- ball tournament with Southern University at the beginning of this year. The arena was designed and constructed to facilitate the needs of various shows such as circuses, ice-capades. auto and boat shows, and various other trade shows. Special programs and conven- tions are also a big market for the Centroplex. Ads have been pub- lished nationwide to attract busi- ness for the center. Located in downtown Baton Rouge, the site was chosen to keep local government buildings near the State Capitol, which is about a mile away. The Centroplex is on the riv- erside edge of Beauregard Town, one of the most historic sections of Baton Rouge. The old suburb resembling New Orleans French Quarter dates to 1806 and includes the Old State Capitol and Huey Long ' s replica of the White House he had built for the governor ' s man- sion. Chancellor Murrill stated that he was not very worried about the University Assembly Center losing business to the Centroplex because of the reduction of the load on LSU. For a long time we were the only modern arena in town. There- fore LSU has frequently turned down business for the Assembly Center that was considered inap- propriate or presented scheduling problems for University events, said Murrill. Of course, there is still competi- tion between the Centroplex and Assembly Center. Bill Hite. Pop and Lively Arts Committee Advi- sor, stated, There is no real cold war in the midst of competition. The LSU Assembly Center has more experience and more seating which gives LSU a slight upper hand, however, it all comes down to who has more pull with the promot- ers. Executive director to the River- side Centroplex. Richard J. Born, was pleased with the business the Centroplex is doing. This year alone, there were 274 bookings. The Centroplex arena is only part of a $60 million entertainment and government complex which is all a part of the 32-acre Riverside Cen- troplex overlooking the Missis- sippi River. Already built on the historic tract of land are a govern- ment building, parking garage, museum, power plant and plaza. LSU students have mixed feel- ings about the Centroplex. One stu- dent complained about the parking problems. You have to drive all the way downtown, park your car (if you can) and then walk another half mile to the show. he replied. Many students living on campus prefer events to be held at the Assembly Center for convenience, although on-campus events almost always insure traffic problems. 1.

(Mere- dith) Centroplex 151 152 Main Ingredients Student Health Clinic Offers Free Visits And Special Services Fifteen dollars of the $220 semes- ter registration fee goes to the Stu- dent Health ClinicT The $15 pro- vides all full-time students, and effective this past January, part- time students with free clinic visits. Of course. X-rays and lab tests are not included, but students are not charged to see a doctor. According to Arthur Goulas. administrator of the Student Health Clinic, most universities have pre- paid clinic fees and most are signifi- cantly higher than LSLPs -- often twice as much. How many students actually take advantage of the clinic ' s services? According to Goulas. about 35 per cent of the student body uses the facilities. On a busy day, we can expect about 275 visits, and this is really all we can accommodate, the administrator admitted. This past year, students have had to make appointments further in advance and wait longer to see a doctor. Why? We have been one doctor short all year. Goulas explained. Instead of our usual five full-time doctors, we ' ve had only four. But a new doctor has been hired for the fall of ' 78. What we really need. Goulas continued, is one more full-time doctor, making it six. and a nurse practitioner program, that is. nurses practicing medicine under the supervision of a doctor. We have it. but on a very limited scale. Six special clinics at the Student Health Service offer services to the students: Internal Medicine. Gyne- cology. Orthopedics. Dental, and the newest addition. Dermatology. These special clinics are open only certain days of the week and during specified hours. The Mental Health Clinic, on the other hand, is a full-time operation. The staff consists of two full-time psychologists, a part-time psycholo- gist, a part-time psychiatrist, a part- time clinical social worker and a part-time nurse therapist. According to Goulas. more stu- dents have visited the Mental Health Clinic than before. More people are willing, I think, to seek help, and the Clinic is staying quite busy. The most common reasons, by far. for visits to the Student Health Clinic are upper respiratory ail- ments, such as bad colds and bron- chitis, according to Goulas. He added that the dermatology clinic is also very busy. It takes weeks to get an appointment with a derma- tologist here, Goulas said. Visits to the Gynecology Clinic have increased tremendously, added Goulas. In fact, about 623 pregnancy tests were performed this year. According to Dr. Robert Hyde, 35 per cent were positive. Dr. Hyde said that 90 per cent of those girls with positive pregnancy tests decide to have an abortion, and he emphasized that this was a conservative estimate. Two clinics in Baton Rouge. Delta Women ' s Clinic and Acadian Women ' s Clinic, have recently opened to pro- vide pregnancy termination. The Clinic also provides a phar- macy, which offers prescription drugs at a comparatively low cost. This year, about 35.000 prescrip- tions were filled. 1. According to the dink ' s administrator. Arthur Goulas. a nurse practitioner program would not only aDow doctors more time for the more serious, more time-consuming cases, but would also be more economical. 2. The Student Health Clink handled about 50.000 patient visits this ear. 3. Students hate had to nail longer to see a doctor this ear due to the shortage of one full-time physi- cian.

Though foreign students have generally been older than their American counterparts, the pattern is changing, according to Erin Schmidt, director of the International Student Office. (Daniel) 3.

(Baroody) 154 Foreign Students Learn American Customs About 1,300 of the 24,000 students enrolled in LSU this year were from outside of the United States. Why do these students leave their native coun- tries to attend American universities? According to Erin Schmidt, director of the International Student Office, one of the reasons that foreign students come to the United States to study is because of the stable educational envi- ronment. In numerous parts of the world, universities go on strike, Schmidt explained. American technology is also a major factor in choosing U.S. universities, Schmidt added. What are the popular majors for for- eign students? Clearly, engineering, business and agriculture are three dom- inant curricula. Students from Iran and Arab-speaking countries are heav- ily engineering-oriented. Schmidt said. Students from Latin American countries are more diverse. They tend to major in engineering, agriculture, or business administration. Although the International Student Office is not trying to be father and mother to the foreign students, Schmidt said that they do provide an official support system for those stu- dents who need it. Schmidt ' s office has a role in admis- sions, housing, orientation, English placement, testing, the student ' s aca- demic progress and scheduling. A Hospitality Board made up of about 32 people representing the Baton Rouge community is dedicated to cul- tural exchanges and making a stranger in our country feel welcome, Schmidt said. The board invites students to partici- pate with American families in various activities. Schmidt said that about 40 per cent of the international students take advantage of this activity by the time they graduate. This is definitely a successful pro- gram, Schmidt said, although he did realize that an American ' s relationship with a foreign student is a difficult process. If you have the chance to be com- fortable with people that are more like you, chances are you ' d want that. It ' s a matter of being secure enough to go out and mingle with someone different. Andrew Yarrow, director of the Eng- lish Language and Orientation Pro- gram added that he would like to see an increase in the relations between for- eign students and American students. If our students could live with Ameri- can families, they could learn 50 per- cent more English, Yarrow said. Schmidt felt that on the whole there was an openness among the American students toward international students. He believed that international women students form stronger friendships with American students. The foreign students ' average age is generally higher than their American counterparts, but the pattern is chang- ing, Schmidt said. The Immigration Naturalization Service requires foreign students to be full-time. Schmidt said that the inten- tion of his office is to help the student maintain immigration status. Despite many threatened deporta- tions, Schmidt said there have only been three or four actual ones in the past seven or eight years. What improvements in the foreign student situation would Schmidt like to see? Schmidt felt that the University needs to improve the housing situation to accommodate a larger amount of foreign students. At Christmas time this year, dorms were shut down. All these students had no place to go. They had to find some type of housing right in the middle of finals. Schmidt would like to see more women international students. Of the 1300 foreign students enrolled this year, about 300 were female. More visible campus programming is needed involving foreign students, Schmidt added. National statistics show that 85 per cent of the foreign students return home because the United States cannot absorb the more highly-skilled men and women into the work force. Those that do return home do so with a knowledge of the English language and a familiarity with American customs. Foreign Students 155 ft 4 Students for Blue Jeans Day, an event dreamed up by the Nation Gay Task force, took place on the LSU campus on October 14 and April 14. The national organization urged all its affiliates, including the Stu- dents for Gay Awareness (SfGA) to participate. The purpose, according to the president of both organiza- ID K n ck n ' T 156 Main Ingredients Cay Awareness Unite for Blue Jeans Day lions, was to force each person who knew about the event to make a conscious decision about some- thing most college students do automatically (wear jeans), and as a result force him to consider what it is like to be a member of America ' s most discriminated against minor- ity. The SfGA as a campus organiza- tion, is one-year old. Both members and non-members are now taking a close look at the group to see if it measures up to its proposed goals. According to the SfGA Presi- dent, the goals, as stated in the organization ' s constitution, are threefold: to promote better under- standing between gay and straight students: to provide the opportu- nity to gays to express themselves freely on campus: and to help gays cope with their problems. SfGA members agree the group fulfills the second two categories. but their effort to cope with the non-gay orientation on campus has brought them varying degrees of criticism. Blue Jeans Day. their first large-scale effort to reach the LSU public, worked well because it stir- red up a reaction on campus and in the Baton Rouge community. But since that time, critics both gay and straight, say nothing has been done to further bridge the gap and pro- mote the desired understanding. The gays at LSU do not believe they are actually discriminated against on campus, but they feel isolated as a group. People cut you off if they are afraid to understand you, said one SfGA member. Another is afraid to tell his straight friends he is gay because he has no idea what their reactions would be. Another important function of the gay group was demonstrated as pointing out to uninvolved gays on campus, and others, that gays can meet unafraid of physical or mental harassment from the public. How- ever, certain outspoken members of the SfGA have received some har- assment. The president of the organization admits getting threat- ening telephone calls at home. Another member has been the sub- ject of ridicule at basketball games. To all SfGA members, public acceptance of their lifestyle is important. As one female member said, If you love somebody and she is the focus of your attention, you want the world to know. Those who have been harassed publicly recognize everyone ' s right to free speech, but wish the abu- sive language would stop. At the same time, another SfGA member said, We sit at our own table every day in the Tiger Lair during lunch and I ' m proud of the straights that understand us, tolerate us. and do not bother us. The majority of the SfGA mem- bers believe homosexuality is an up front issue one that should be discussed freely and openly by all members of society. They point out that keeping quiet about their sexuality perpetuates the myth that they are ashamed about it. Many gays on campus who are not members of the SfGA feel it is on this point that their ideas differ. Some feel that by joining the out- spoken campus group they place that facet of their personality being gay before that of student, employee, and family member - the roles they must also play. SfGA members argue those who do not participate are afraid of pub- licity and activism. Being gay, they said, is present in one ' s per- sonality all the time and one should not have to set apart time for it. As the roles of students and employees are played, being gay underlies all roles, but should not be the number one driving force. 1.

New Orleans, Lafayette, and neighboring towns came to campus in anticipation of the opportunity to see not only champi- onship animals, but six perform- ances of professional rodeo by a five-time world champion all- around cowboy, Jim Shoulders. Shoulders ' evening performances packed the Center to capacity nearly every night of the rodeo. Shoulders, from Henryetta, Oklahoma, sponsored the rodeo. A total of 1500 animals partici- pated in different aspects of the rodeo, making this year ' s show one of the largest. Rodeo 159 Tut ' s Treasures Draw Large Crowds The King Tut exhibit made its celebrated stop in New Orleans this past year at the Museum of Art. The exhibition, officially named the Treasures of Tutankhamun, was called the most important and beautiful exhibition of ancient Egyptian art ever to come to the United States. It came to the U.S. as the result of several years of neg- otiations between participating American museums and the Egyp- tian Organization of Antiquities. New Orleans was the exhibit ' s third stop, with previous stops in Washington D.C. and Chicago, and subsequent stops planned for Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and New York City. There is also a pos- sibility that more cities would be added to the tour later on. A total of 870,594 people passed through the museum in the 120 days the exhibit was shown. To accommodate the large number of people seeing the display daily, the museum sold color-coded tickets that were keyed to particular seat- ing arrangements and time of entrance. The Fairmont Hotel set up a restaurant-pavilion to serve those waiting to get in. The museum also sold t-shirts, posters, and repli- cas of some of the exhibit ' s displays for the tourists. The tomb of Tutankhamun, the boy king, was uncovered in Novem- ber of 1922 by Howard Carter, an English archaeologist. Opening the door to the antechamber of the tomb, Carter became the first human to look at the contents in over 3200 years. The tomb, called the greatest find in the annals of archaeology, contained countless chalices and vases, magnificently in-laid boxes, priceless jewelry and weaponry, as well as many other items. The king ' s mask, the most famous work of art from the tomb, was found placed over the head and shoulders of Tut ' s mummy. The solid gold mask, which was cer- tainly the most popular display in New Orleans, bore a fair resem- blance to the king. 1. Crowds waited in line for several hours before even entering the museum. (Rayner) 2. More than 870,000 persons viewed the exhibit during its four- month visit to the New Orleans Museum of Art. (Rayner) 3.

The Backpacker and the Union Travel Committee, the most active of the local trip organizers, both organized ski trips to Colorado resorts. This year the Ski Brecken- ridge trip, sponsored by the Travel Committee, provided round trip air transportations, six nights in a con- dominium, five days of equipment rental, five days of lift tickets and a wine and cheese party for $295. The Backpacker sponsored trips late in December, early in February and in March to the Aspen. Snow- mass, and Steamboat resorts. The Union Travel Committee also offered a wide variety of other trips including the European Win- ter Holiday in Spain and Portugal and the London Theater Tour. The Europea n Holiday trip included stays in Lisbon, Madrid, Granada and Paris for $799. Sixty people went on this tour of 15 days which also included a stay in Torrenolinos on the Mediterranean Coast. The London Theater tour included nine days in London as well as four days in Paris over the Christmas holidays for $780. This year ' s group consisted of over 40 people. The Backpacker offered canoe trips to the Atchafalaya area and backpacking tours to Aspen. For $15 a person, the shop escorted canoeing groups into the Atchafa- laya basin emphasizing the wildlife in the area. Of course, Florida has always been one of the favorite retreats for LSU students, ranging from week- end excursions to week-long spring break stays. Panama City. Destin. Fort Walton. Pensacola and Orlando proved to the favorite places to stay. The Backpacker also sponsored an economical trip to the Bahamas in May after graduation. Trael 163 ' Hey Mister, Throw Us Some Beads! ' And down they came. Late in the afternoon on Mardi Gras Day after a long weekend of drinking and parades, beads and doubloons no longer held their precious positions of esteem as treasures. Mardi- Gras ' ers casually caught what they could and waited until the next float lumbered by. Mardi Gras, Feb. 1, 1978, was totally different from preceding ones. It was raining and the coldest Fat Tuesday ever. Celebrants had to be exceptionally creative with costumes in order to keep warmly bundled up and dry, yet still carry off that unconventionally outland- ish image characteristic of Mardi Gras maskers. Hey, throw us some beads! was the common appeal to the swaying rows of warmly-clad bod- ies above. They sloshed their cock- tails (cocktails? since 1 1 a.m.?) in plastic cups, then leisurely let go of one strand of beads. Costumes consisted of lots of coats and scarves, although there was one queen in a red ballet leo- tard, work boots and a tiara on his head, dancing on the corner of Bourbon Street and St. Ann with a very soiled chiffon shawl. There were a few coneheads, who remarked in their monotone voices, We are enjoying the festivities. Mailboxes arrived equipped with ladders, lawn chairs and cool- ers.

Let the good times roll! Jambalaya Jamboree epitomized those very words. Jam Jam, which began just 18 years ago as a small Cajun festival, has become one of LSU ' s largest activities. This year ' s festival, sponsored by the LSU Union, was held April 22, in the John M. Parker Agricultural Cen- ter. Drinking beer, racing pirogues, eating crawfish and jambalaya, and dancing the Cajun two-step were all part of this annual festival. Throughout the day, a number of student organizations offered Cajun cooking and entertainment. Entertainment included Cajun skits, musicals, chorus lines and slapstick. Group competition included a Mr. and Mrs. Jam Jam contest, a crawfish relay, and a Cajun two- step dance contest. Some of the more original food and entertain- ment booths were named Dat ' s Entertainment, West Side Bayou, and Abroad the Atchafa- laya. The Governor ' s Sweepstakes Award went to Acacia fraternity and Pi Beta Phi sorority for first place in overall competition, with Kappa Alpha and Phi Mu taking second. Acacia and Pi Beta Phi also won the concessions and entertain- ment competition. Alpha Omicron Pi and Tau Kappa Epsilon won the concessions trophy for first.

Thirty-two states and 28 foreign countries were rep- resented in the graduation. Men comprised 57 per cent of the graduating class and 43 per cent, women. About 24 per cent of the graduating class were married. Of the 2.079 students receiving degrees, only about one-half of the students began their college careers at this University. Bachelor ' s degrees were awarded to 1466 students. The mode age for undergraduate students was 22, although three graduates were only 20. and John Hooper received h is Bachelor ' s at the age of 69. Master ' s degrees were awarded to 256 students and 29 students received doctorate degrees. Professional law degrees were awarded to 168 students; profes- sional social welfare degrees were awarded to 90 students: and 47 stu- dents received degrees in veterinary medicine. Thirteen students received specialist degrees in educa- tion: eight master ' s of education degrees were awarded, and two stu- dents received doctorate degrees in musical arts. Job Outlook Hazy How will these graduates fare in the highly competitive employment hunt? 1. Graduates prepared to line up outside the Assembl) Center for the commencement exer- cises. (Schrodt) 2. Most graduates first enrolled at LSL during the 74-75 school year, although one undergraduate had enrolled as early as 1948. (Schrodt) 3. Master of Ceremonies Chancellor Paul Murrill divided his speech into three topics: You and LSL. You and the World, and You and Yourself. (Tnifant) 4. Miriam Coe, age 75. was the oldest graduate at LSL. finishing in Decem- ber. Ms. Coe was a fine am major and planned to seek a graduate degree. (Schultz) College placement directors reported that on-campus recruiting was up for the second year in a row. It must be taken into consideration, however, that the 1975-76 school year was the worst year in campus recruiting history. But. according to the 1978 Grad- uate Magazine, published annually by the 13-30 Corporation, there is an oversupply of college graduates this year, and there will be for many years to come. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about one out of every four graduates will take jobs for which they are technically over- qualified. The 1978 Graduate reported that the greatest employment opportuni- ties existed for engineering, com- puter science, and business majors. In fact, engineering offers last year accounted for 55 per cent of the total offers made to bachelor-level graduates. Starting salaries for petroleum engineers this year aver- age over $1500 a month. Experts in banking, credit, and insurance will also enjoy prosper- ous job searches. Demand for accountants are strong, but the sup- ply has increased too, reported the Graduate. This is exemplified at LSU with the Accounting Depart- ment holding an enrollment of over 700. second only to general studies. According to the Graduate, accounting majors will find jobs, but not without looking. Computer science majors will have no trouble finding jobs, according to the magazine. The number of unfilled computer spe- cialists jobs this year is around 15.000. the Graduate reported. Health-related majors, including occupational and physical thera- pists, medical technologists, physi- cians ' assistants, and. of course, doctors and nurses, continue to be in short supply. Surprisingly enough, the Gradu- ate reported that art majors may be finding more opportunities this year, particularly if they are willing to form their own art galleries or theater companies. Because energy has become such a major issue, national energy research required more financial and technical workers. According to the National Edu- cation Association, public school openings will exist for only half the expected teaching graduates for the next eight years. Law school graduates will have trouble finding positions with firms. They will fare better working with the government. Students with degrees in foreign languages will find jobs scarce, but the mastery of a foreign language plus another skill will give a compe- titive edge over all job seekers, the magazine reported. Counseling, social work, therapy, personnel administration, and rec- reation have become overcrowded fields. Journalism suffers from the same over-popularity. The LSU School of Journalism holds the largest enrollment in the College of Arts and Sciences. According to the Graduate, there will be 20,000 jour- nalism graduates competing for the approximately 5,600 media job openings. Advertising agencies are hiring, but newspapers, radio, and television have few openings and usually refuse to hire new, inexperi- enced graduates. Is post-graduate work the key that opens the door to employ- ment? Not according to the Gradu- ate Magazine. According to the magazine, graduates who pursue advanced studies in hopes of win- ning over the competition will be disappointed. According to the magazine, the glut of Ph.D. ' s in 1985 is expected to be threefold: 580,000 Ph.D. ' s hungering for only 187.000 positions. Graduation 169 Bengals Begin Road Back To Winning... Hopes were high when the 1977 football season rolled around. Visions of returning to the glory days on the LSU gridiron enter- tained the thoughts of everyone as the opening game approached. Hopefully gone were any remnants of the past three years -- years of disaster for LSU. Tiger supporters impatiently awaited this return a return to the days between 1958 and 1973 when Bengal football teams had won 132, lost 39, and tied 6. In the past three seasons of despair, dissension earmarked sea- sons of 5-5-1, 4-7 (LSU ' s first losing season in 1 9 years), and 6-4- 1 . Five-thousand fans went north to Bloomington, Indiana, for LSU ' s 1. Indiana surrounded Steve Ensminger in much the same way they surrounded the Tigers in a 24- 21 upset. (Ted Hicks) 2. LSU smashed highly- touted Florida 35-14, the Bengals ' most impressive victory of ' 77. (Schultz) 3. The Goodyear blimp passed over Memorial Tower on its way to the Ala- bama game. (Badeaux) 4. At the Kentucky game, Curtis-E trades a Courtesy is Contagious sticker for some peanuts. (Jerry Hazen) opener with the lightly-regarded Indiana Hoosiers. The Bayou Ben- gals were heavy favorites to beat Indiana for the second time. (The first one was a 20-14 win at Indian- apolis in 1924.) LSU marched down the throats of the Hoosiers on its first posses- sion for the 7-0 lead, and all assumptions of victory appeared justified. Then, the Bengals relaxed and allowed themselves to be over- taken 10-7. By the early moments of the final quarter, however, LSU had built a comfortable 21-10 lead, and were headed for more when haunting memories of 1974-75-76 struck in the form of the fumble. The Tigers coughed it up on the Hoosier 12 and within minutes were scored upon. Content in losing their opener, the porous Tiger defense gave way to another score. The result: a shocking 24-21 upset loss, and a bitter way to open what was supposed to be a good season. With Help Mac Pack signs in full bloom everywhere, the 0-1 Tigers were busy preparing them- selves for their first home game against the Rice Owls. Not since 1966 had the Owls bested the Tigers, and every LSU fan again expected victory, but not in the form of a 77-0 score. In the wildest scoring display since 1936, LSU bounced back with vengeance from their opening setback to humiliate the men from Houston. The 746 yards total offense against the Owls was one of the many school records broken. But Tiger fans were still not sold on this team. Florida, ranked ninth nationally, would be the true test. 170 Main Ingredients Curtis E Is Contagious Anyone fairly familiar with ath- letics knows the impact of fan sup- port on the final outcome of a con- test. But when this enthusiasm turns to hostility, the whole game suffers. W. Evans (Blackie) Howell, pres- ident of the CM3 company, a man- agement consulting firm, approached the athletic department to institute a Curtis E courtesy program for the 1977-78 seasons. With the financial support of seven Louisiana firms, the campaign attempted to promote courtesy with the help of all 2,000 game personnel and the 68,000 plus fans who invade Tiger Stadium for each game. In place of more security person- nel or police d ogs for crowd con- trol, Howell thought fans were probably rowdy because they were never asked to behave. He felt bot- tle and ice-throwing, fighting and post-game highway accidents could be curbed through a more courte- ous spirit of competition. So when fans began arriving at Tiger Stadium for the LSU-Rice game, they were greeted by a rooster named Curtis E (Howell himself!). Buttons, banners and bumper stickers exhorting fans to be friendly decorated Death Valley. Courtesy is contagious -- help us spread it and Have a good time - help others have a good time were the slogans that spread the word. The courtesy program, continued through other sports competitions, has proven effective. Jack Gilmore, assistant athletic director for busi- ness said, We ' ve been pleased with the results of the program. Games management personnel said there were fewer problems and more awareness at games. Football 171 Football . continued Unbelievably, the Florida con- test began in the same way the Rice game had. Before the touted Gators had broken a sweat, the Tigers had sprinted to a 29-0 lead, via four TD ' s and a safety. Sold indeed were the Tiger partisans on this team when the eventual 36-14 SEC shocker was history. LSU ' s first win over Florida since 1973. Then came the try to win a road game. The inability to win a game out of Louisiana had captured the fancy of Tiger teams since the dry spell struck in 1974. In fact, only Rice in Shreveport and Tulane in New Orleans in 1975 saved the Tigers from going victory-less on the road since 1973. The Indiana game that opened the ' 77 season extended the streak. The upcoming foe was Vander- bilt (a team with the ability to get sky-high for good teams, which LSU had developed into, and a knack of losing to losers). Whatever the case, Vandy was ready, LSU wasn ' t and the Tigers found them- selves behind 0-15 midway in the third quarter. It appeared that the sleeping Tigers would keep their oblivious road streak intact. Then, characteristically of this team, the Bengals exploded. In fact, they turned Tiger. A 0-15 deficit became a 28-15 victory at Nashville - and the Tigers ' road streak was shattered. 1. LSU played Vanderbilt in Nashville in 1977 the Tigers ' first appearance at ancient Dudley Field since 1957. (Schultz) 172 Main Ingredients The Golden Band Resounds In Tigerland Under the direction of Nicholas Rouse, the Tiger Band cranks up for marching season two weeks before school starts for the fall semester. Working from 8:30 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. there are full band rehearsals with and without instru- ments and sectionals seven days a week. The band, consisting of approxi- mately 275 students, practices one hour a day six days a week, except on football Saturdays when they practice for two hours. Musicians are considered a little eccentric occasionally. That ' s prob- ably the impression passersby get during the band ' s early practices. Not everyone is born knowing how to make snap turns without turning his head. Rouse solves this problem with a spoon holding a hard-boiled egg while marching at the same time. Although band members have been known to complain about long rehearsals, rain, and hot weather, they continue to march down the hill on football Saturdays and continue the Tiger Rag tradi- tion. 1. Anyone can audition to become a band member, including entering freshmen and graduate stu- dents. (Scnultz) 2. Cheryl Schllhab twirled a set of sabers, special knives that the Tigerettes use. (Sdmhz) 3. The Golden Girls, consisting of 16 members, practiced six days a week. (Daniel) Football . . . continued Had LSU defeated Kentucky in 1977 ' s version of the LSU Home- coming, the Tigers would have probably finished the year with a great record. But this is not what happened. A parade of glaring, gigantic errors turned a 13-7 Kentucky lead into a 33-7 Kentucky runaway. The game produced more if ' s than the record crowd of 71,495, and LSU saw its 2-0 SEC record suffer a 33- 13 tarnishing. Sugar Bowl hopes also vanished, along with the num- ber eleven national ranking the Tigers had built in the UPI poll. 1.

The winning chant from Tiger Tantrums. as well as a fireworks display, were also presented at the pep rally. An Almost Anything Goes games competition was held with over 30 teams competing. Acacia Fraternity combined a first in this competition with a first in the fra- ternity decorations division to win the sweepstakes title for the third year in a row. Kappa Kappa Gamma won the chant competition, with Chi Omega winning the sorority decorations division, Acadian Dorm, the inde- pendent singles division, and Home Economics and Industrial Technol- ogy departments, the doubles divi- sion.

There are die-hard Tiger fans and Tiger fans through heredity. And there are alumni Tiger fans who begin arriving as much as a day in advance of home football games the Traveling Tigers. Not only do the Traveling Tigers arrive early for home games, they also establish temporary residence in their specially designated area behind Alex Box Stadium, making a weekend of LSU ' s Saturday night special. The Traveling Tiger tradition began in the early 1960 ' s when one family arrived in a mobile home and parked by the stadium for the weekend. The idea caught on and soon the stadium lot began to look a little like an overnight trailer park. The open field behind Alex Box Stadium was shelled and designated for this fast-growing species of Tiger fan. On any weekend of a home game, the Traveling Tigers begin arriving on Friday. This informal organization includes former LSU athletes, parents of athletes, and LSU alumni. Fans of opposing teams are welcomed to the Travel- ing Tigers ' plot. Saturday s take on a picnic atmosphere - - barbecues, picnics, shooting the breeze, horseshoes, and, of course, football. After the game, some of the cam- pers pack up and disappear down I- 10 while others spend another night at their weekend retreat and leave on Sunday. But they ' ll all be back for the next Saturday night kick-off. Lin l IS Jp b f fcitl h! v f OkM 176 Main Ingredients on 1. Traveling Tiger motor homes filled up acani lots for the Tiger borne games.

( Zietz ) Football . . .continued Patsies can do wonders to heal a wounded team. In 1977. Oregon became LSD ' s midseason patsy. Although falling behind early, the Tigers regained control enroute to a 56-17 thrashing of the Ducks. The game saw Charles Alexander etch new milestones in the LSU record book. Against Oregon he gained 237 yards and scored four touch- downs. Two straight Ole Miss victories, an exciting LSU team, and Charlie Alexander were the ingredients that allowed the 1977 renewal of the Tigers and the Rebels to be tele- vised. In sunny, hot, Jackson, Missis- sippi, the fired-up Rebels of Ole Miss ran up a stunning, embarrass- ing 21-0 lead over the lifeless, lead- footed Tigers. These Rebels, with their 4-4 record, looked like Johnny Vaught ' s Mississippi teams of the past that once ruled the SEC and LSU. Then, just before halftime. LSU scored. At the time, the Tiger touchdown didn ' t seem to make much differ- ence, but in the eyes of the players, it apparently did. The second half belonged to LSU and the 10,000 traveling Tigers that went to Jackson. It ended with a pulsating 28-21 LSU victory, the Tigers ' sixth win over the Rebels in the past eight years. At 1 n H Football continued However, in the Alabama Crim- son Tide, the Tigers met the second SEC power they would not be able to overcome. A national TV audi- ence and a rare afternoon game in Tiger Stadium had the spirits of the Purple and Gold at a super high as the 18th-ranked Tigers fought the second-ranked Tide. A great defen- sive first half that ended in a 10-3 Bama lead kept the Tiger spirits high. They remained high until a Mike Conway field goal attempt failed at the start of the third period. Then the Red Elephants went to work. Driving methodi- cally, Bama rolled to two more touchdowns, and smothered the nation ' s top rushing team to cap- ture the SEC Title with a 24-3 tri- umph. 1.1 at ? a Mil (Se 178 Main Ingredients 1.

(Scbultz) Cheerleaders Spur Tiger Enthusiasm The LSU cheerleaders, always an integral part of Tiger football, added basketball to their repertoire this past season. At Coach Dale Brown ' s urging, they have started performing at all of the team ' s home games. Adding basketball to a schedule that already includes home and away football games, pep rallies, and certain alumni func- tions, transformed their season from one semester to two. This year ' s male cheerleaders were Myles Roeling, Pat Kelley, P. J. Demarie. Lawrence Svendson, David Forrester, and Herman Har- ris. Janet Milner, Judy Fousch, Missy Crews, Ladeta Crowley. and Jeanie Beadle were this year ' s girls. Michael Ballinger, Mike Thibo- deaux, Anna Sells, and Barbara Achee served as alternates. Charlie Roberts, the squad ' s sponsor, led the team to a tie for first place over- all at camp in Memphis during the summer of T7. Auditions are held each March to select the squad for the upcoming year. All prospective candidates must be full-time students on the date of the audition at LSU and must have at least two regular undergraduate semesters, not including the summer term, remain - ing at LSU after the semester in which auditions are held. Football continued After being handed three straight losses by the once-weak Mississippi State, the Tigers decided to turn the tables and put a win back in the series they had dominated over the years. In the strangest game of the year, LSU squeaked out a 27-24 verdict when Mike Conway kicked a 28 yard field goal in the waning minutes. Although not artistically done, the win put LSU back in bowl business and a week later prior to the Tulane game, it would be announced that the Tigers would play in the Sun Bowl. Watching the several thousand screaming LSU and Tulane fans form a tunnel for their respective teams apparently exhausted the Tigers because it was not until late in the game that they would put away a psyched-up band of Tulane Greenies. The Wave had definitely come to play, and for a half, it seemed LSU hadn ' t. In quick suc- cession, the Green Wave scored a TD, then blocked a Tiger punt for another score to lead 17-7 at half- time, as Tiger fans looked on with more amazement than ever. But, as they had done before, the Tigers came out inspired in the second half. Tulane, however hung tough, and allowed the Tigers only two field goals at the end of long drives. Then, like a bolt of lightning, freshman Chris Williams took a Tulane punt and sped 60 yards to give LSU a 20-17 lead. When the Wave missed a field goal moments later, the Tigers ran out the clock to preserve the narrow victory. In the regular season finale, LSU ran up a 24-7 first quarter lead, then laughed their way to a 66-7 annihi- lation of the Wyoming Cowboys. The 66 points lifted the Tigers sea- son total to 375 the second high- est ever by an LSU team. It also ranked as the third highest average per game scoring by any Tiger ball club. Only the 1908 (44.2) and the 1969 (34.9) teams averaged more points per game. The Sun Bowl, LSU ' s first bowl since the ' 74 Orange Bowl, matched two 8-3 teams - - the Cardinals of Stanford and the Tigers of LSU, who met for the first time on a foot- ball field. The game saw the Tigers run up and down the field and the Cardinals pass up and down the field, and in the end, the pass won out. Three interceptions suffered by LSU killed three long drives and 24 to 14 told the tale for the beaten Tigers. 180 Main Ingredients 1.

(Baroody) 182 Main Ingredients Alexander Scores Big As fine a runner as I have ever seen: enormously strong, quick and competitive. Coach Charles McClendon spoke highly of Charles Alexander. LSU ' s tailback sensation. Alexander had a very good year in 1977. breaking several SEC records including most yards gained in a season (1.686) and most yards gained per game (153.3). His football prowess was recognized by the national press, being named first team Ail-American by the UPI. Kodak Coaches, and Football :ers of America. To top off an already productive season, he was tapped as the Sun Bowl ' s offensive player of the game. The fact that Alexander is only a junior points to even greater things for him in the future. Assistant Coach Jerry Stovall talked of a 300- yard game, not to mention winning the Heisman Trophy. Men ' s Basketball Tigers Find the Deceptive Light For the past five seasons, Coach Dale Brown ' s basketball Bengals have been searching for that illusive light at the end of the tunnel. This year, the Tigers seemed to find that light. The perenially young Tigers posted an 18-9 overall record and earned the distinction of being the least losing team since 1953-54. In the Southeastern conference, the Bayou Bengals finished third with a 12-6 mark. The two seniors on the team, Kenny Higgs and Floyd Bailey, finished their careers impressively. The turbulent career of Dr. Higgs closed with Kenny becoming LSU ' s fourth all-time scorer. Bailey, the crowd ' s favorite, saved his best for last. In the season finale against Alabama, Floyd scored 14 points and handled Bama ' s Reginald King in the 103- 85 LSU victory. The season was filled with ups and downs, NCAA and NIT expec- tations that never materialized, and a definite improvement in the brand of Bengal basketball that had floundered in mediocrity through the years. The high hopes of a good season almost vanished when the UNO Privateers embarrassed and shocked the Tigers 73-69 in the sea- son opener. Then team leaders Durand Macklin, DeWayne Scales, Jordy Hultberg, Ethan Martin, Lionel Green and Higgs asserted themselves. The Tigers bounced back and destroyed Sports Illustrat- ed ' s 15th ranked team, Washington State, 83-58. From then on, victory 1. Having finished his freshman year as the team ' s second-leading scorer behind Kenny Higgs, sopho- more Durand Macklin helped lead the team to vic- tory in the Kentucky game. (Zietz) 2. Freshman DeWayne Scale ' s 8 ' 9 reach helped with rebounds at the Kentucky game. (Zietz) 3. Coach Dale Brown created enough basketball interest for LSU to get single game, single season and season ticket records for attendance at basketball. (Badeaux) outweighed defeat two to one. Of course, there were low points and these came in the form of a 66-82 loss to NIT Champ Texas, a 76-96 regionally televised dismantling by No. 1 Kentucky, and in the never should have happened narrow defeats by Mississippi State and Florida. High points came in the form of easy victories over Tennessee, Co- SEC Champions in 76-77, but cel- lar-dwellers in 77-78; a 68-67 vic- tory over NCAA quarter-finalists DePaul; the unforgettable overtime victory over National Champion Kentucky 95-94 (before an LSU and Assembly Center record crowd of 14,551); and the thrashing of Alabama in the last game of the year. Tiger fans can now look to next year with sincere optimism, two of Coach Brown ' s major goals still to be conquered: the SEC Champion- ship and the NCAA Championship. 184 Main Ingredients It I r Dale Brown Just Won ' t Compromise When I came, my goal was to put LSU on the top of the heap, said Coach Dale Brown. That ' s still our goal. There ' ve been some frustrating moments, some moments of self-doubt. But never have I doubted that we will win the SEC championship and that we would be a national power. We ' re slowly edging toward that. Brown has been head basketball coach for six years. The 1977-78 season has brought LSU basketball its best season with the fewest losses since the 1953-54 season. But we ' re still not where we want to be, said Brown. Although the coach ' s goal is an SEC championship and national power on the basketball court, he refuses to compromise quality for a No. 1 team. If all I ever do at LSU is win a national championship, I ' ll feel like a miserable failure. He explained, I ' m concerned with what Kenny Higgs, Wade Evars, and Jordy Hultberg will be doing 20 years down the road. Youthfulness played a role in the loss of the season ' s closer members. Eleven members of the team were freshmen and sophomores. Had we had a more mature, veteran team, I think we would have won more! said Brown. In Brown ' s opinion, there were no key players. There were no substitutes, only reinforcements. With so many returning players, and an anticipated good recruiting year. Brown looks forward to a brighter season in 1978-79. Jordy Keeps a Perspective A graduate of De La Salle in New Orleans, Jordy Hultberg came to LSU with prestigious honors under his belt. As a high school basketballer, he was named to the All-District team three years and the All-State and All-America teams two years. The things I like best about playing on the LSU team are the playing itself, the opportunity to play against big names, the facili- ties, and the travel. I ' ve been to San Francisco and Nashville, places I may never have had the opportu- nity to go, said Hultberg. As guard for LSU, Hultberg has an average of 12 points per game. He practices about four hours a day during basketball season. Majoring in accounting and planning to attend law school. Hultberg maintains a 3.0 grade point average. He feels the major disadvantage of a college athlete is the effect athletics can have on aca- demics. If you ' re not careful, it can really affect your academics, if you don ' t keep things in proper perspec- tive. Although Hultberg is a devoted athlete, he realizes there is more to life than basketball. You can only play basketball for so long and you have to have something else to fall back on. i - 186 Main Ingredients 1.

It was a season for milestones as LSU and Delta State, became the first women ' s teams to play in the Sugar Bowl basketball tournament in ew Orleans. The Tigers came away with an 86-76 win over Delta State, the defending national cham- pions. The BenGals also won their first Louisiana AIAW championship with a 77-59 victory over Louisiana Tech in the finals held in the Assembly Center in late February. It was also a year of individual achievements, as Julie Gross and Maree Jackson became the Ben- Gals ' first Ail-Americans. The two Australian imports, who have pro- vided much of the impetus for LSU ' s improvement, made well over half of the Tigers ' points and rebounds between them. With her 1021 points, Jackson became the second player in LSU history to score over a thousand points in one season. Though the season ended in dis- appointment, with a loss to Stephen F. Austin in the regionals in Texas in March, Jinks Coleman, LSU ' s coach, is optimistically looking ahead to next season. The girls should have an even better year as they are only losing one starter to graduation, Lenette Caldwell. Both of the Australians and Brenda McGuffee. who led the team in assists, will be juniors. The team will have its freshman sensations, Sandy Hoe, Priscilla Teal, and Lisa Willis, back as well as Joanette Boutte. who will be the squad ' s only senior.

The Tigers rolled through that season with a 40-16 overall record to become the win- ningest SEC team in history. In conference play, the Tigers shat- tered the mark as they posted a 19-3 ledger. Of course. LSU easily won the SEC. Crown and also partici- pated in the NCAA Champion- ships.

A 12-34 overall and 6-18 SEC record and a dead last conference finish told the story. It seemed to most people that a change was sorely needed in the Tiger baseball program and the first change made was the releasing of Jim Smith from his coaching duties. His successor. Jack Lamabee was given the burden of reviving the most depleted athletic program in Tigertown. 1. Tiger Steve Caballero snuck safe!) into first base. 2.

The Tigers were expected to walk away with the SEC title because of an awesome season record of 22-2. 8-0 in the SEC. As expected, LSU controlled play after the first day of the SEC tourney, and all seemed bright. In the second day, disaster struck. All but Hal Gormar lost in second day singles matches and Georgia raced away with an insur- mountable lead. Then Gorman was defeated in the third and final day and the exhausted Tigers were passed by Tennessee for second place. In fact the Bengals had to share third place with VanderbilL Although the SEC title and the Bernie Moore All Sports Trophy were lost, the Tigers still had a chance to regain lost esteem in the NCAA Championships. But LSU was unable to shake off their post- SEC blues, and Pepperdine sent the Bengals home in the first round 6-3.

A 26-6 regular season record, an AIAW state championship and a second place in the AIAW region- als enabled the Tigers to move to Texas for the U.S. Tennis Associate Collegiate Championships. Last year ' s USTA quarterfinalist Kay McDaniel was unable to make the USTA Nationals due to severe blisters. But Coach Pat Newman ' s entries, Ann Ellis, Ebie Taylor, Karen McCarter and Lisa Boettcher, fared well without her. Taylor finished in 10th place with 17 points at the tournament. For her excellent play, she was named All-American by the USTA. Newman brought a rejuvenated bunch of Tigers into the AIAW Nationals in June. At the end of the seven-day tournament, the Lady Tigers were voted eighth in the national ranking, with Stanford capturing the team championship. After a string of upsets, the Tigers ' No. 1 player Kay McDaniel fin- ished in the top four in AIAW sin- gles championship.

In that stretch, the Tigers won 19 SEC Championships the most ever by any SEC school. In 1933. the Tigers captured one of only two National Champi- onships ever achieved by a South- eastern Conference school. In this year, the Tigers raised more than a few eyebrows by fin- ishing fourth in the SEC Indoor Meet. The outdoor season saw the Tigers consistently improve as the outdoor SEC championships approached. At Bernie Moore Sta- dium in one of the finest meets ever held in the South, the Tigers fin- ished second in a field of nine, with only eventual SEC Champ Tennes- see ahead by a close 134-1 05 ' $. However, the expected high finish in the conference never material- ized. Bad luck and tough breaks took care of the Tigers as they fin- ished sixth.

' Meri-dith) Vanity Sports Scores 213 ,.v.y i j 214 Main Ingredients Club Sports Gain Recognition Any faculty or staff member, graduate or full-time undergradu- ate is eligible for club sports, explained Coach Jay McCreary. director of club sports. Do club sports receive any finan- cial support from the University? I get ' x ' amount of dollars for each sport. The amount depends on the number of club members, the sta- bility and the schedule of the club. McCreary said. The money is bas- ically used for transportation. The rest usually comes out of the mem- bers ' pockets. This year, the women ' s softball team uniforms were provided by the University, McCreary said. In fact, all women ' s athletics started here in 1972. Thev switched over to varsity about two years ago. How do the teams find other teams to play? It ' s an intercollegi- ate thing. We write to the intramu- ral departments of other universi- ties. Of course, now it ' s established, and we know what schools have what. Finding competition is one of the biggest problems with club sports, the coach explained. For example, we ' d like to start a men ' s power volleyball team, but there are only two such teams in the area to play. Clubs exist for archery, fencing, karate, men ' s and women ' s rugby, soccer, water skiing, and women ' s softball. Additionally, an Olympic weightlifting team was formed this year. Soccer has been rapidly gaining nationwide attention this year. The LSU Soccer Club consists of about 30 members. Soccer will be one great sport in about three years, said McCreary. The team had an 8-4 record this year. The women ' s rugby team is one of the more interesting club sports on campus. Organized in 1976. the women ' s club has grown to become a strong, skillful team, according to club member Debbie Azorsky. This year, the team placed fourth in the Southeastern conference and in the Hammond Mardi Gras tourna- ment. The team held a 10-4 overall record this year. I 1. The Archery Club had eight members. (Woz- niak) 2. The fencing team was formed about six years ago. (Nicholas) 3. According to Coach Jay McCreary. the soccer team will be an outstanding sport in about three years when the young kids get up here. (Trufant) 4. The Karate Club consisted of over 100 members.

The team had a spring record of ten wins and two losses, and a fall record of ten wins and four losses. The team defeated all of the other rugby clubs in Louisiana during the spring semester. The semester was highlighted by a solid second place in the finish in the National Tour- nament held on campus in Febru- ary. The spring also held disap- pointment, as the club was unable to repeat its SEC championship. The fall rugby season had begun on a note of uncertainty. During the previous spring, the rugby club had finished its finest season to date by going 21-0 and taking 1st and 2nd place in the SEC tournament and taking 1st in the Gator Invita- tional held in Gainesville. Florida. The club was definitely one of the best in the country that season, but due to the graduation of a number of fine players and the formation of a Baton Rouge city club were depleted. The club was left only a handful of experienced, battle- hardened players for the start of the 1977-78 season. Luckily, a heavy recruiting program at fall registra- tion paid off. bringing in a few experienced players and a number of eager young athletes. The fall group was characteristically young. Women ' s Roster Debbie Azorsky Denise Bouvier Rhonda Gain Kim Falcon Lynn Fontana Jonna Hamilton Ann Hedberg Denise Kendrick Becky Lewis Nancy Luikart Barbara McMillen Lynn Patzig Lori Young Judy Vocke Stephine Ware Jeanme Wilson Susan Wolfe Lori Young Cheryl Torseny fit. and fast. Most of the club ' s experience was concentrated in the backfield and LSU eventually developed one of the finest back lines in the south. The back line, along with the young aggressive group of forwards, were able to streak to six straight victo- ries. These victories set the scene for an epic battle. The seventh game of the season was against the Baton Rouge club, made up of LSU graduates who were close friends or friendly rivals of the LSU club. The confrontation was a classic. Though both clubs were coached by Max Simmons, Baton Rouge ' s grand old man of rugby, each club had a dif- ferent style of play. LSU was quick and loose while Baton Rouge was strong, big. and tight. The game matched its buildup. Baton Rouge emerged the victor a battlefield which truly resembled the tradi- tional LSU cry. bullowyo. which is Zulu for place of slaughter. Baton Rouge had won in the final minutes in a thirty yard penalty kick. The loss of that game was a big letdown for LSU. The club was only able to win one of the last three games and got totally blown away in the final game against the New Orleans club. The bright spot was winning three of four matches at the Houston Invitational Tour- nament, losing to the eventual tour- nament champs. The second half of the season began on a brighter note than did the fall. The young team had a hard season under their belt, and many had come along quickly. There was also a new reason to get excited in the club. The Nationals were the first fixture on the spring list and LSU was the defending champ. LSU RFC was holding the National Collegiate Invitational Rugby Tournament for the second straight year and LSU had to defend its title. Many university and college teams from around the I. MeamfaVf Ote Number 7. Tulane, mt Hew- toii were wne of the major teams ptayed b yew CM Sports 217 Rugby country were invited and seven of the best were selected. The matches were all hard and fast. The weather let up for the weekend and the rain turned to sunshine. The finals of the NCIT had a rematch of last year ' s - LSU vs. Palmer Chiropractic College. The LSU ruggers played hard, but Palmer emerged the vic- tor, capitalizing on the only three mistakes LSU made. After the Nationals, LSU began sweeping its way through match play as they did in the beginning of the fall. By the weekend of the SEC tournament, LSU had again won six straight and had revenged the November loss to the New Orleans Rugby Club. LSU entered the SEC Tourna- ment at Athens, Georgia, with high hopes of making it two straight SEC ' s. But LSU had to take a third place after being eaten by a hungry Kentucky team in the semi-finals. The LSU ruggers had to shake off the tournament quickly since a rematch with the Baton Rouge team was the next week. LSU had no problem getting ready for this match, which was expected to be as great as the last. LSU had no prob- lem but, of course, the LSU players had other ideas on the outcome. After a quick try by Baton Rouge, LSU settled down and took charge of the game. Both sides often pene- trated the others, but brilliant kick- ing by LSU kept the pressure on Baton Rouge and eventually won them the game. So ended another grueling rugby season. The end of the year also had the club saying goodbye to a few graduating ruggers. Kamal Abdula, LSU ' s excellent fly half for several years, returned to Malaysia. The club also lost their second Malaysian, Azizz Abubakar. The third departure was from Dave Flotte. Flotte played at the inside center position with crashing defense and unselfish passes to the wings for trys. Dave was captain of the team in the fall. The club also lost Ted Schirmer. Ted, a former SCA president, was president of the club in the fall. This spring, the club was led by Captain Joey Husband whose lead- ership and drive on the field kept the team constantly moving and by President Donnie Bratton who fur- ther kept the team out of serious trouble. Outstanding players for the year were Joey Husband, Donnie Brat- ton, and Dave Flotte. These players were selected to both the Louisiana Select Side and Southern Select Side. Donnie Bratton was addition- ally named to the Eastern Rugby Union Select Side. Other excellent players included Rob Ackerman, Shelby Smith, Jose Delgado and Ted Mathes. These were the leaders of the young pack that improved so greatly and played Men ' s Rugby Scores RESULTS (Won 20 Lost 6) LSU 27 LSU 36 LSU 26 LSU 59 LSU 12 LSU 23 Baton Rouge 20 LSU 20 Memphis Old 7 13 New Orleans 24 LSU 10 LSU 3 LSU 3 River City SLU Loyola Crescent City Lyons Tulane LSU Dry Gulch LSU LSU Sam Houston Kansas State Austin 4 12 3 19 4 10 Blommington LSU LSU LSU LSU LSU LSU LSU LSU LSU Palmer LSU Kentucky 10 27 18 LSU SLU Fort Polk 56 Loyola 12 28 24 13 6 22 19 21 21 Crescent City 4 Tulane 16 New Orleans 8 Baton Rouge 8 Texas A M Miami LSU Auburn LSU 3 4 6 19 with reckless abandon to give the brilliant back line the ball for scor- ing.

In flag football in the men ' s divi- sion, White Horse came out on top, with Zachary ' s shutting out DZ in the women ' s competition. The South Starettes took top honors in women ' s basketball, while Fap ' s dribbled in to win first place in the men ' s division. Zachary ' s won in women ' s vol- leyball, Vet Am in the men ' s divi- sion, and the French Ticklers fin- ished in top position in a weekend tournament with 35 men ' s softball teams. Sports Shack won first place in the women ' s softball division. In individual events, Chris Pierce captured the bowling crown with a score of 210; Perry Novak was first in golf and Lefty Nations stole the Hot Shot competition in basketball. Bill Hanson was the victor in the One on One tournament for men 6 ' and under and Will Daniel was top man in the 6 ' 1 and up division.

April 29. Emmylou and the Hot Band appeared at 9:00, opening with One of These Days. When Emmylou broke into Together Again, her voice was delicate, frail, helpless. But for the next song, Two More Bottles of Wine, the helplessness was gone. She belted it out. Her heartfelt renditions of To Daddy from her latest album Quarter Moon in a Ten-Cent Town and Making Believe drew the most audience response. Emmylou ended the show with k Cest La Vie (You Never Can Tell), but returned for an encore, commenting that she couldn ' t leave Baton Rouge without doing Jam- balaya. Willie Nelson and his back-ups appeared on his stage a half an hour later. Willie started the show with Whiskey River. His Blue Rock Montana Red Headed Stranger medley, If You Got the Money, and Good-Hearted Woman received quite a bit of applause. After the popular Blu e Eyes Cry- ing in the Rain, Emmylou came back out to join Willie in Till I Gain Control Again, which Emmylou recorded on her Elite Hotel album. Harris stayed on stage to accompany Willie in Amazing Grace and Will the Circle Be Unbroken? Willie returned for three encores, during which he sang an old tune, Georgia, from his latest album Stardust. Billy Joe Schaeffer opened the show. 224 Main Ingredients 1. Willie ' s daughter came on stage to join Willie for I.uckenbach. Texas. 2. The concert had a capacity seating for 14,000, but little over 9000 tickets were sold. 3. Willie was presented with a birthday cake and an oil painting by a popular Texan artist for his birthday gift. 4. Willie Nelson played for an enthusiastic but younger than expected audience. 5.

(Photos by Daniel) Chicago Average White Band 221 Crystal Gayle Woos Crowd Crystal Gayle proved to the Assembly Center crowd that she was more than Loretta Lynn ' s younger sister. In her April 5th con- cert, Gayle serenaded the audience with such well-known tunes as One More Time and Someday Soon . Of course, her Grammy Award- winning hit, Don ' t It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue? , earned the warmest audience response. Gayle was backed by an eight- member band. fo Al Styx Ends Tour in BR Styx brought their music for the first time to the Capital City for a virtually sold-out concert on Fri- day, April 7th. Appropriately, the group opened with the title track from their LP, The Grand Illusion . Vocal harmonic abilities were particularly evident in Sweet Madam Blue and their hit, Fool- ing Yourself. The first few notes of the most well-known Styx hit, Lady, brought immediate applause from the somewhat younger crowd. Styx returned for two encores, ending their four-month nation- wide tour in Baton Rouge. 228 Main Ingredients Fog hat Rocks All Night Energized, is the title of Fog- hat ' s third album and probably the best way to describe their concert appearance at the Assembly Center on April 28th. After an enthusiastic audience reception for the opening acts, No Dice and Jay Ferguson, Lonesome Dave Peverett. lead vocals, and Rob Price, lead guitar of Foghat, switched rock and roll into high gear when the band opened with Fool for the City . Foghat hits I Just Want To Make Love to You and Rolling All Night Long were the biggest crowd-pleasers. Variety and freshness were the weakest points of the group as many of their songs seemed indis- tinguishable from others. Excellent lighting coordination, however, improved the show. The band ended the night ' s per- formance with a well-known tune, Slow Ride . 1. Crystal Gale signed autographs for fans after her April 5th concert. (Lag) 2.

Rod plunged into the 90-minute concert with Three-Time Loser and You Wear It Well. His old hit Maggie May drew the warmest audience response. Mixing the old with the new, he performed a few numbers from his newest album Footloose and Fancy Free. Rod closed the show, singing Stay with Me, kicking soccer balls into the crowd. Despite 10 minutes of applause, he did not come back for an encore. 1. A few sighs escaped from the audience during Tonight ' s the Night a long-standing number one hit. 2. Stewart was backed by a six-man group. 3. Rod impressed the crowd with his updated version of Vanilla Fudge ' s old hit You Keep Me Hanging On.

Denver and his nine-member band appeared on stage and told the somewhat older than typical audience to ease back and relax ' cause we ' re going to play straight through for at least two hours. Which is exactly what they did. Other than making a few jokes and occasionally inviting the audience to sing along, Denver and his band played songs straight through more than a dozen before the band took a break. And even then, Denver stayed and played a few songs alone, including Peter, Paul, and Mary ' s hit, Leaving on a Jet Plane. When the band returned, they played for another hour, perform- ing all of Denver ' s hits, including Rocky Mountain High, Country Road, Take Me Home, and Annie ' s Song, along with some newer tunes, such as the particu- larly moving title cut from his latest album, I Want to Live. Denver ended the concert with Sunshine on My Shoulders and the crowd rose to a standing ova- tion. 1. John Denver came with a completely different band, except for the drummer, from the band that backed him up in his LSU concert three years ago. (Long) 2. The circular stage revolved every 22 minutes, giving everyone in the audience a good view. (Badeaux) 3.

(Daniel) Emerson, Lake, and Palmer Give ' Em the Works Fans wondered if Emerson, Lake, and Palmer could generate as much excitement as they did at their last concert at LSU in 1973. Despite doubts, tickets almost sold out for the October 29 concert. Any remaining fears were dis- solved by the opening number, Peter Gunn. Each musician showed his virtu- osity in such numbers as Pictures at an Exhibition and Lucky Man. For their encore, the group played the popular Fanfare for the Common Man. Zappa Lays It On L S U Frank Zappa played to an almost-packed Assembly Center Saturday night. September 17. His unique lyrics and guitar-play- ing were backed by 85.000 pounds of equipment and six musicians. The back-up musicians added their own color to the show. Ed Mann, percussionist, sprinted from gongs to bells to xylophone and back to gongs again. Terry Bozzie, the drummer, entertained the crowd with a solo which utilized synthesized whines and croaks. Rhythm guitarist, Adrain Below, bass player Patrick O ' Hearn. and keyboard players Tommy Mars and Peter Wolf, alternated spotlights in the mainly instrumental show. More popular tunes from Zap- pa ' s repertoire included Dynamic Hum. Muffin Man. Camerillo Brillo. and Big Leg Emma. Zappa and company were just beginning a 100-stop world tour coinciding with the release of their latest album Lather. ELP Zappa 235 236 Main Ingredients Heart Attacks Baton Rouge Mick Fleetwood ' s drums were used during Bob Welch ' s opening set at the June 28 Heart Concert at the Centroplex. Welch and his band went through a few songs, such as Hypnotized and Sentimental Lady. from his days with Fleet- wood Mac. The crowd wanted Ebony Eyes and Welch finally gave it to them at the end of his one-hour show. Heart started off their set with a few unrecognizable tunes from their then yet-to-be released LP. The band almost lost the crowd until they smartly moved into their well-known hits. Barracuda. Crazy on You and Magic Man. Colored smoke effects accompa- nied their recent single Heartless. Festival seating encouraged the somewhat freakish audience to demonstratively appreciate the out- right flamboyance of lead singer Ann Wilson and the Stevie Nicks- like attractiveness of Wilson ' s sis- ter. Nancy. Other band members included Michael Derosier. How- ard Leese. Steve Fossen. and Roger Fisher. The relatively large and receptive crowd demanded two encores from Heart. Ann Wilson did an impres- sive rendition of Harry Nillson ' s Without You for the second encore. The crowd ' s obvious appre- ciation prompted lead singer Wil- son to comment. All right, now that ' s hospitality Louisiana style. I. Heart member Nancy Wilson impressed the crowd with an outstanding guitar solo. 2. Heart played a little o er an hour, with no breaks. 3.

The lyricist sat on a lone stool onstage. Chapin began by singing his softer ballads. His best known com- positions, Taxi and Cat ' s in the Cradle, won the most enthusiastic response from the audience. As the evening progressed, how- ever, the tone of music switched from mellow to downright rowdy. Chapin left after one encore, hav- ing, as one fan put it, attempted and succeeded in really communi- cating with the audience. 1. Fans unfamiliar with all of Chapin ' s music were surprised at the performer ' s versatility. (Meredith) 2. Boz appeared on the all-white stage following his back-up act The Rick Danko Band. (Mayeux) 3. Featuring all but three songs from Down Two, Then Left, Scaggs fall tour was a campaign to push his new album. (Long) 238 Main Ingredients I m. Boz Gives Slick Soul Sound Boz Scaggs came to LSU Satur- day night, December 3rd, bringing with him his unique city-slicker style and dazzle. His white soul sound was car- ried through with his 10-piece band which included two keyboards, two drums, two horns, two guitars, and two black female singers. Scaggs began with his hit Low- down from his million-seller album Silk Degrees. The performer showed his instru- mental talents on the guitar and keyboards. Boz ended the show with two crowd-pleasing encores, the first of which was Lido Shuffle, perhaps his most popular song. By the sec- ond encore, most of the primarily college-age crowd were on their feet. The Dead Calms Down Time played a strategic part in the Grateful Dead concert. It was scheduled for 7:30 on the Sunday night before fall mid-terms. Never- theless, many die-hard followers crawled out from dusty library shelves to see their old friends from the acidic sixties - - the days of Haight-Ashbury ' s trip festivals. Not only did the concert start earlier than most, but it also seemed longer. The overall attitude changed from one of exuberance to one of boredom. Breaks between every song, a 40-minute intermis- sion, and a long wait for an encore just added to the tedium. After the intermission, however. Grateful Dead woke up the crowd with Sugaree, Scarlet Begonias, and California. Their rendition of the Rascals ' True Love made up for any earlier discomfort. Though freakiness is no longer a part of their act, the Dead did have a couple of unique effects. A talented female vocalist. Donna Godchaux, has been singing with the band since 1971. The usual drum solo also had an unusual twist: two drummers instead of one. , v m v Richii Richie wc Richie II In cos Peaier, psoun polvec Haven id gun 240 Main Ingredients 1.

Richie Havens is amazing. Richie Havens can cook. Richie Havens is rhythm. In concert April 23 at the Union Theater. Havens delivered his mov- ng sound to a small but receptive. Involved crowd of about 350. Havens ' voice was penetrating and guttural: his intensity, over- whelming. With a driving beat. Havens sang f injustice and oppression. He cer- ainly convinced the audience of his nessage that Sunday night, as the :ntire crowd rose to its feet, elap- sing a shouting approval. Havens, glistening with sweat, slaved and sang his own songs such as Freedom and Should Have Been There. But he also sang other artists ' songs. Of course he did George Harrison ' s Here Comes the Sun : but he also found space for James Tavlor ' s Fire and Rain. the Commodores ' That ' s Why I ' m Easy, and a perfectly flowing med- ley of Van Morrison ' s Tupelo Honey and Bob Dylan ' s Just Like a Woman. After an encore. Havens came onstage, exhausted and shook hands with admirers. Havens is a star that is human. He showed his appreciation by singing You Are So Beautiful to the crowd. The appreciation and the song were mutual.

The concert started only ten min- utes behind schedule. Kristofferson appeared and delved into a series of country songs, then moved into rock and roll. After a few solos from other band members, a short intermission was announced. Then Rita Coolidge came out, and sang one tune after another. She performed such hits as You ' re My Man, Your Love Keeps Lift- ing Me Higher, along with a few pieces made hits by other perform- ers, such as Let the Good Times Roll. Kristofferson joined Coolidge to sing for nearly an hour, covering a whole range of tunes. Then, two real Cajuns, guitarist Jerry McGhee ' s father and uncle stole the spotlight. The two old gents fiddled a waltz and sang in French. 1. Kris and Rita received a standing ovation for Help Me Make It Through The Night , written by Kristofferson. 2. Gino Vanelli, backed by six musicians, dazzled the crowd with bis skin-tight outfit. 3. Gino had the crowd clapping to his hit People Gotta Move during his second encore. (Photos by Meredith) Gino Generates Excitement Gino Vanelli shuffled around the Assembly Center stage amid flash- ing lights and clouds of smoke. The girls loved it, but practically everyone felt that his performance was just not long enough, even with two encores. At the November 10 concert. Vanelli sang for only an hour and 15 minutes. Singing with heart, soul, and body, the entertainer pleased the crowd with a few of his older hits, such as Love Me Now , Where Am I Going? and Love of My Life. Of course, he also performed some newer tunes, including one written especially about Louisi- ana. Kris and Rita Gino 243 Baton Rouge Symphony Strikes Up 30th Season The Baton Rouge Symphony ' s 30th season opened on September 21 with a salute to Beethoven, 150 years after his death. Beethoven ' s Symphony 7 and Barber ' s Adigio for Strings highlighted the evening. The season ' s second concert on October 12 featured Robert Routch, a French hornist. He included Strauss ' s Horn Con- certo and Stravinsky ' s Firebird Suite in his Baton Rouge program. Violin virtuoso Boris Belkin charmed the Union Theater audi- ence on November 16. The Rus- sian-born Belkin played the Tchai- kovsky Concerto without a break, an extremely difficult feat. The Louisiana Concert Ballet danced to the accompaniment of the orchestra ' s rendition of Nut- cracker Suite in the symphony ' s December 16 Christmas presenta- tion. John Browning, who won a Pul- itzer Prize for his piano concerto, appeared with the symphony on January 25. The pops concert on February 14 set a different mood altogether. Karlos Moser conducted the orchestra through a series of popu- lar hits from various musical eras. Tunes switched from western to ragtime to waltzes . The Hit Parade of 1924 transported the audience back to the roaring twenties. LSU ' s A Capella Choir accompa- nied the symphony on March 17. Together with guest soloist Zolton Rozsnzai, the singers presented the Magic Flute , Requiem and selections by Mozart. The symphony closed out its sea- son on April 5, with pianist Willis Delaney. The symphony conducted a lei- sure series of free concerts held from January through April, spon- sored by the Union Lively Arts Committee. The Baton Rouge Symphony has been performing since 1947. Eighty-five local professional musi- cians devote time and talent to the orchestra, funded only by ticket sales and private donations. James Yestadt has conducted the symphony for two years. The asso- ciate professor of music prepares his concert programs at least eight months in advance in order to book guest artists. Every concert requires four nights of practice, each three or more hours long. The symphony schedules eight conce rts a year in the LSU Union Theater, in addition to the leisure series held this spring. 1. Having played with the Syracuse Symphony, the Eatsman Symphony, and the Rochester Philhar- monic, Mitch Miller achieved national fame with his Sing Along With Mitch television program. 2.

The free concert, honoring the Governor and Mrs. Edwin W. Edwards and the members of the Legislature, was presented by the New Orleans Chapter of the LSU Alumni Associ- ation. The program was the orches- tra ' s salute to all Louisiana arts and artists. The concert commenced with Smetana ' s fast-paced Dance of the Comedians , followed by Little Fugue in G Minor by Bach. The orchestra then played an excellent rendition of Tchaikovsky ' s Waltz from Swan Lake Suite . The first portion of the concert was ended by Mendelssohn ' s Piano Concerto No. 1 played by soloist Moses Hogan, a native of New Orleans, and now in his third year at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Mr. Hogan ' s most recent honor came with his winning the 28th Annual Kosciuszko Founda- tion National Chopin Competition in New York. Intermission was followed by a varied medley of Cole Porter ' s tunes. Prominent songs included Rosalie . Easy to Love , and Don ' t Fence Me ' in . The eventful evening ' s program concluded with Mitch Miller ' s Sing-Along with Mitch .

If You Knew Susie . Singin ' in the Rain , and Baby Face . Baton Rouge S mphom New Orleans Philharmonic 245 David Bowie Combines Music And Light Show The Assembly Center was nearly full for the April 1 1 concert. Quite a few concert-goers were dressed in the Bowian ultra-baggy pants and floppy hats. ' Amid stark white lights, David Bowie materialized. He launched into two 50-minute sets with no warm-up act. Heroes and One in the World opened the first set. For the last song of the set, Bowie burst into Fame, one of his most popular hits. After intermission, Bowie con- centrated more on his Ziggy Star- dust era and less on his newer mate- rial. Suffragette City and Hold Onto Yourself drew the most response from the audience. With his six-member back-up band, Bowie did more than satisfy the crowd. Most impressive was not just the music, not just the light show, but the precise professional coordination of the two. The audience receptiveness war- ranted three encores. 1. Bowie ' s flamboyant taste in fashion was reflected in his green rubber suit with matching sneakers. Lights punctuated the performer ' s Heroes. One in the World, and Beauty and the Beast during the first set. 2. Bowie reap- peared for his second act clad in white shirt baggy pants, and blue tennis shoes. He wrapped up his two-hour, three-encore performance with TVC 15 and Rebel Rouser.

Private Frank Woyzeck. an abused and misunderstood soldier murdered his unfaithful wife Maria. Overpowered by his intense jeal- ousy. Woyzeck passed over that fine line between love and hate, from sanity to insanity. Woyzeck. the first fall produc- tion in the speech department ' s 45th season, ran from October 4 through October 8. Written 140 years ago. the expressionist play asked the age-old question. Why do people kill? The play ' s humor, horror, and grotesqueness were vividly relayed To the audience through the use of various special effects. Half-horse, half-human creatures leaped about in a nightmarish dance. Weird sounds filled the air - - whispers, whistles, and shuffling steps. All these effects were created bv mem- bers of the cast off-st ge. Also included in the production were 10 songs, written by the director Rob- ert Montilla. James Mclntire played the tor- mented soldier, the simple servant, and the mistreated guinea pig. He was manipulated and deceived by people he thought were his friends, his wife, his captain, and his doctor. Driven to madness, the desperate man turned to the world of the supernatural for help. He heard far- off, ethereal voices which told him to kill the she-wolf - - to stab her again, again and again. 1. Woyzeck began to withdraw from society, tired of others ' abuse and bis wife ' s unfaithfulness. 2. Private Woyzeck visited a doctor, who informed him that the only way Frank could cure his insan- ity was by eating peas. 3. Frank hovered on the brink of insanity, telling his comrade that he heard strange faraway voices.

Having been made into three major film ver- sions, and having undergone numerous revivals, the musical was presented in its 1946 version, according to Director Robert Mon- tilla, in the Union Theater April 13, 14 and 15. Showboat was presented by the LSU School of Music and Department of Speech in coopera- tion with Southern University. The musical featured the LSU Sym- phony Orchestra, the LSU and Southern University Opera Cho- ruses, soloists, and dancers. The multitude of cast members may have caused the audience to expect complete chaos and pande- monium; however, the enormous energy of the huge cast was more than enough to overcome any drawbacks. Leads were filled by Kathy McCarty as Magnolia, and David Bankston as Gaylord Ravenal. Out- standing performances by Robert Glass as Captain Andy and Stacy Roberts as his wife added to the success of the show. 1.

For while it poked fun at snobbery, self- indulgence, and class distinctions, it joyously proclaimed that love can melt any boundaries. The touring production of My Fair Lady in the Union Theater on May 7 beautifully captured the spirit of the musical from the astoundingly delightful scenery to the engaging performances. Edward Mulhare played Professor Higgins and Anne Rogers played Eliza. The production shone with professionalism. Most charming of all was the music - - poignant, funny, lyrical, and buoyant.

Fuller, the author of 17 books, inventor of the geo- desic dome, and holder of 39 hon- orary doctorates, stressed that man should advance technology but, at the same time, conserve energy and recycle his limited resources. The 82-year-old Fuller closed his Octo- ber 5 lecture with an optimistic note: I ' m sure we ' re going to make it with youth, truth, and love. The crowd rose to a standing ovation. Orson Bean, the voice of Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit and guest star on numerous talk shows, emphasized the present rather than the future. His message was simple: Live for the present; cancel your life insurance policies. Bean dis- cussed marriage relationships, free schools, his years in a commune and in Australia, and his experi- ences with LSD. His ideas were capsuled in his statement, All kinds of things are possible that we just don ' t realize because of our prejudices. Stanton Freidman, nuclear phys- icist, also believed that anything was possible. In his Union Theater lecture, the physicist presented facts and figures defending the reality of UFO ' s. Stanton was armed with 40 slides showing government cover- ups, statistics, and actual UFO landing sites. He relayed the tale of Barney and Betty Hill who were allegedly picked up as specimens by extraterrestrial visitors. I ' m not the Billy Graham of UFOology; I deal in facts, said Freidman.

Members played in the Muscular Dystrophy Marathon and picnicked with the men ' s hon- orary organization in the fall. Requirements for membership were that the applicant be female and have a 3.5 freshman average at L.S.U. Active members were usu- ally in their freshman or sophomore years. The club promoted contin- ued high scholarship through recog- nition of members graduating with a 3.5 or above.

Kappa Delta Epsilon recognized this fact when the Lab School Elementary Building burned and the club donated $400 for a new set of encyclopedias. Members also contributed $100 for other educational materials for the classrooms. This organization for sophomore and junior education majors with a 3.2 overall average was an extremely active honorar y. It met three times monthly to plan such projects as Apple Day for College of Education professors during Teacher Appreciation Week. At Christmas instructors also received candy canes from the members. A member of the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board advised members on what administrators look for in a first year teacher at one club meeting. Other meeting topics included highly intelligent children and modular flexible scheduling. The organization also gave a tea during the spring for teachers who supervised the student teachers. Graduating seniors were honored at a dinner at Ralph and Kacoo ' s in the fall. 1 . Kay Guthrie 2. Cathy Dale 3. Becky La Grange 4. Susan Melsheimer 5. Peggy Naquin 6. Phyllis Couvillon 7.

Epsi- lon Pi Tau worked closely with its professional counterpart, the Indus- trial Technical Education Club. However, membership to the honorary was by invitation only and students had to be in the top 10 ' v of their junior and senior classes. The club was open to those who were majoring in industrial arts education and industrial tech- nology. Students weren ' t the only new members, as the group also selected local teachers, administra- tors, and industrial executives of outstanding achievement. Active members worked at the student rodeo and split $8,000 in Coke sales with several other agri- culture clubs. This money helped finance the spring banquet where new apprentices were recognized. Monthly meetings and occasional field trips were reported to active and inactive members in the club ' s newsletter.

It began early in the spring when recommendations were obtained from heads of clubs and faculty members in addition to information forms from students with 3.0 and above averages in 60-105 hours. Once the necessary information was obtained the selection procedure began. Scholarship, leader- ship and service were the prime areas of considera- tion. Club policy limited membership to no more than 35 members, selected by a set percentage of existing members. After eight meetings, which totalled more than 35 hours of discussion and vot- ing, the new members were chosen. 270 Seasonings Phi Kappa Phi held its annual awards program in April this year and initiated 256 new members.

John Steven Vil- .bia. a junior in the College of Chemistry and Physics, received the Outstanding Junior Award at the banquet and was designated as the Phi Kappa Phi Senior for 1978-79. Allison Joyce Kelly, in Arts and Sciences, and Jeffrey Matthews, in Petroleum Engineering, were cited for honorable mentio n for the Out- standing Junior Award. Michael Irwin Jordan, a graduating senior in Arts and Sciences, was honored as the chapter ' s nominee for a gradu- ate fellowship. James Reeves was the alternate fellowship nominee and graduated in the College of Chemistry and Physics. Thirty one students were recognized as freshman award win- ners for having maintained a 4.0 average during their first two semesters at LSI .

The first Tractor Rodeo was sponsored. The rodeo consisted of various driving skill contests with several different tractors and implements. It was fol- lowed by jambalaya, beer, music and dancing. Monthly meetings were the nucleus for the many activities undertaken by students in the Ag. Engineering Club. During the summer, students built bul- letin boards for the SGA which were installed around campus. Money from this project supported many future activities of the club.

English language classes, and con- versation with International stu- dents and their families. A retreat in the fall to Percy Quinn State Park gave members a chance to relax and discuss the aspects of For Me to Live is Christ. A mid-winter retreat was centered around the theme of One Solitary Life. Weekday services in the B.S.U. Chapel were planned by the stu- dents, and twice monthly the chapel provided free meals to students. Small groups of students also met in share groups weekly to study.

Over spring break mem- bers traveled to Florida to visit dairy farms and also to make a stop at Disney World. Dairy Science Organizations 287 Delta Sigma Pi Delta Sigma ' Pi attracted local big names to meetings which were held twice monthly. This busi- ness fraternity heard from Lt. Gov. Fitzmorris, Commissioner of Insur- ance Sherman Bernard and District Attorney Ossie Brown. The club sponsored a fall initiation banquet at the Hilton and members usually gathered after LSU football games to socialize. Food science majors not only studied food, but they also sold it to make money for their club activi- ties. Money from smoked turkeys went to a deep-sea fishing trip for the group. The club also sold jam- balaya at the State Fair. In the spring a canoeing trip down the Ami te River and crayfish boil were planned. 1. Ralph Portier 2. Eloise Korminek 3. Wilson Gautreaux 4.

Gary Shofield Being a good fisherman proved valuable, that is monetarily, to members of the Association of General Contractors who partici- pated in the club ' s bass tourna- ment. Sponsored at Indian Lake the tournament awarded over $300 in prizes to lucky club members. This year the group took a new approach to its purpose of encour- aging interaction between contrac- tors and students. It emphasized social functions and sponsored a bar-b-que. crawfish boil and beer bust meetings to achieve this. The club also hosted the national student chapter meeting at LSU which served as a constitutional convention.

While there were certain skills involved, such as lettering a headline and designing a layout for a page, there was a great deal of monkey work that went into put- ting out the yearbook. Alphabetizing more than 3.000 class pictures and counting Greek individual pictures were things that anyone can do. and yet must be done before the book can be fin- ished. So. the Gumbo staff this year was made up of people, several of whom had never worked on a year- book before, who were willing to give time, lots of time, to putting the book together. And it did take some time. The fall semester was mainly spent scheduling and taking group shots, rescheduling and retaking group shots, and rescheduling again. Even the Gumbo ' s group shot got screwed up! Changing to a fall delivery was approved by Student Media Direc- tor Jon Fisher while two editors were attending a yearbook confer- ence. It was there also, that the idea of centering the book around gumbo actually came about. Stu- dents from other schools would see LSL ' s yearbook and say. Gumbo. what ' s that? GUMBO Over Christmas, the editors packed up and moved the Travel- ing Gumbo from apartment to apartment. Because the office was located in a cubby-hole in the Union, the staff was dependent on the rather strange hours and days of the LSU Union. It was also depend- ent on the whims of the night man- ager, as to whether it could work late on the book or not. While most LSU students enjoyed their holi- days, the editors worked to meet the first January deadline. Another problem that the Gumbo suffered from was the lack of darkroom facilities. Photogra- phers had to develop in their own homes, bathrooms, whatever. Con- sequently, the lack of photos caused Taylor representative Fred Elsing Jr. to give the staff a grace period to get the first pages in. Lack of photographers was a problem, and much of the load went onto Michelle Meredith, Jim Zietz. John Wozniak. Malek Baroody, Van Badeaux. and Jim Schrodt who were constantly badg- ered to take group shots, shoot con- certs, and develop prints in their spare time. Meanwhile, the editors worked. Copy Editor Kathy Orillion spent endless hours in front of the type- writer redoing stories, making cor- rections, cutting the length and writing, writing, writing. Design Editor Brad Levison con- tinued the vain search for photo- graphs to lay out and began the laborious process of lettering the headlines for the Main Ingredients section. Managing Editor Jane Owen was usually on the phone, trying to get Greeks to send in their composites (all but three groups missed the January 1st deadline), finding out organizations ' activities so she could write copy, and apologizing to irate groups when the photogra- phers forgot to show up. Editor Vivian Long spent most of her time figuring out the maze of flats, how to place the color in the book, designing division pages and laying out the opening and closing sections. Tuesdays and Thursdays were lonj days. There were other staff members, too. Jackie Lyle. Durward Casteel. Andre Moreau. Julia Martinusen. Paula Ketelhut. and Robert Alford took on many of Kathy ' s stories, sometimes piecing together the events from old Reveilles when they had not attended. Debbie Terrell and Barbara Gibbens were flexible workers, popping in between classes, with the question. Is there anything we can do? They were never turned down and they never refused the most menial tasks. For the first time the Journalism School helped the Gumbo by allow- ing students to work on the book as independent study for credit, and the efforts of Brad Pesson, Julia Martinusen, Lenora Hess, and Paula Ketelhut were added. While most students and some editors vacationed over the spring break, the staff worked daily trying to get together some pages to meet the deadline. With the addition of more copy and captions, the book was a muc h more difficult undertaking, and a mere 1 1 6 pages were ready for the first deadline. In April, the pressure was on to get the delinquent pictures taken before everyone went home. Non- 1.

(Schrodt) Organizations 293 photographers were even resorted to in an effort to get everything done. The Favorite Professor con- test was also staged during this month with Gloria Sasek as winner and a larger amount of student par- ticipation than in previous years. Just before exams, David Daniel returned to the staff and was able to provide us with a score of badly needed pictures. He, like other pho- tographers such as Malek Baroody, Van Badeaux and Michelle Mere- dith put up with the hostility of stu- dents and teachers to take the last shots for the book. School was out, but no GUMBO. Then slowly, as everyone cranked away at the Zeta Beta Tau house (again the Union closed), then the Acacia house (ZBT had a wedding reception), pictures began to roll in, copy was fitted, layouts were done and the book began to materialize. Days and days passed of listening to loose radio and that awful flame- broiled Burger King spot (is that on again?!) The Traveling Gumbo finally moved its office to Brad Levinson ' s home in Dallas to personally deliver and explain the final ship- ment in mid-July.

I ' m afraid that we ' ve misplaced your organization ' s group picture. Do you by any chance remember which pho- tographer took the picture? All I remember is that it was some broad. Being referred to as some broad didn ' t surprise Michelle Meredith, the LSU Gumbo ' s only female photogra- pher. Nothing offends me at this point. I ' ve been mooned, had bottles thrown at me. called any number of things. Really my senses are dulled, she said. Michelle, a junior in broadcast-jour- nalism, has taken pictures for the year- book since her freshman year and was often seen at campus events behind her camera. She is known for going to almost any length to get a picture. Maybe you saw her on someone ' s shoulders on the dance floor at 2001. I like to shoot something that ' s actually going on in front of me, like a game or play, more than I do mood shots. she said. When asked about her least favorite type of picture Michelle quickly answered, Greek candids, without a shadow of a doubt, and added, If I had a nickel for every time someone said, Take my picture ' I could put my way through school. While organization pictures were not her favorites, it was not uncommon to see Michelle earnestly peddling her bike down sorority road or towards the Campanile to make a group shot. Somehow I always get stuck with those, she said. They really aren ' t that bad though, it just depends on the fra- ternity. It ' s weird too, because groups you ' d expect to get a chaotic reaction from will turn out to be very business- like. Michelle had a repertoire of stories on her group shot experiences, includ- ing witnessing the Deke ' s execution of Santa Claus at their Christmas orphan party, hiking through a well-fertilized cow pasture to take an agricultural group picture, and getting caught in the cross fire during a KA-Theta Xi frater- nity war. She still claims that her expe- riences as a Gumbo photographer were invaluable. It would be impossible to duplicate the things and people that I ' ve come in contact with. MicheOe Meredith will go to almost an length to get a picture. Here she rhrtirrt am top of a track to sfeoot Jan Jam.

They were scribbled full with activities that the club sponsored. Every week the service organization had some pro- ject going on, whether it was check- ing I.D.s for the SGA elections or selling cakes for Mike the Tiger ' s Cage. The club, which is connected with the Arnold Air Force Society, is one of 110 chapters in the coun- try. In keeping with national goals for 1977-78, the club sponsored two main projects. In the fall, members put on a seminar on child abuse for the community. The head of the Child Protection Agency and a medical doctor spoke and showed slides on the problem. With envi- ronmental goals in mind the club planned the landscaping of a picnic area by the stadium. The girls sup- plied manpower for the actual planting, while the Environmental Design Department donated plants and the design plan. Canned goods instead of money served as admission tokens for an Angel-sponsored movie matinee at University Cinema. The Salvation Army received the food for Thanks- giving baskets. In April, Angel Flight co-spon- sored the March of Dimes Walka- thon which covered a 20 mile course. Girls supplied refreshments to walkers and checked their mile sheets. The spring U.S.O. show was presented with the theme, Angels on Broadway, using excerpts from Broadway plays about the military. The girls also participated in their traditional projects such as ushering at concerts, greeting opposing teams at the airport and running the Favorite Professor con- test for the Gumbo. 306 Seasonings 1.

Angel Flight and Scotch Guard on Broadway was the theme of the production in which girls from both organizations sang and danced to entertain the military. The corps field day consisted of an afternoon of competitive events between the Army and Air Force. This year the Air Force was victorious in the Almost Anything Goes - type competition. (Photos by Mere- dith) -I Organizations 307 I 1COB ],Ste (Don Scotch Guard members gained perspective on the tremendous growth of their organization, when the club founders spoke at the 1 5th anniversary celebration. A former head of the Pershing Rifles and member of the original corps spoke to the girls on the founding of the selective girls service group which served the Army. Members were official hostesses for the University and filled this role by serving at the fall Board of Supervisors ' reception in the Assembly Center. Girls also handed out ribbons at the Dixie Jubilee Horse Show and helped at com- mencement exercises. On Veterans Day they were part of a special sun- down ceremony on the Parade Ground and dressed in full uni- form. Participation in the U.S. Or show was another way in which the group aided the army as well as going out on maneuvers with the ROTC and attending military brief- ings. Community-wise the club busied itself with several major philan- thropic endeavors. Children at the State School for the Deaf were taken trick-or-treating and then to a party with Guard members. At Easter the club gave the same chil- dren an Easter egg hunt. Girls at the St. Joseph ' s Children Home got to know corps members through activities such as a bonfire, picnic and copkout. Members visited Fountain Lodge nursing home every month to socialize with the elderly residents. A major project was the Fort Polk trip when mem- bers traveled to the army hospital and put on a show in late March. Campus spirit was raised by the club members who decorated the locker rooms for sports events. lOn (.flu .. :.- II W - : 34 35 The program opened with a joint rendition of Give My Regards to Broadway in which Angels and Lassies both participated. Each group was dressed in the uniform of their sponsor organization. This was followed by several numbers done by the individual organiza- tions and their pledge groups in which they had changed the words of popular Broadway tunes.

The National Collegiate Associa- tion of Secretaries provided coffee for persons taking the Legal and Certified Professional Secretary exams during the year. The club also sponsored a secre- tarial seminar in the Union and club members gave a fashion show NCAS during the program. In the fall, the girls played the U.S.L. chapter in flag football during the M.D. mara- thon. They also sold chocolate bars and Time Watt kits to help raise money for members to attend the national convention in Kentucky. At the state rally during April the group graded papers and adminis- tered tests for the business competi- tion. A counselor from Boeker ' s Employment Service, Miss Lois Landaiche, spoke to the club on various job opportunities. Another meeting featured a speaker on per- sonal development.

Selection procedures included reviewing detailed application forms, lengthy interviewing, expert dart throwing, and random phone book searching. Upon notification in April the new members reacted differently to the high honor. Finally after five years of college, said one new initiate, while another noted, What a great thing for my resume! Other reactions included, What is this? and I ' ll come just so long as I can hide my face behind the lampshade. 1 . Pisson Bird 2. Mount Rainer 3. Mean Jane, You Tarzan 4. Moseley (In memory of) 5.

This included raising $1800 for Muscular Dystrophy through a bike-a-thon. sponsoring a cartoon festival in March, and planning a Trivia Bowl and several coffee- houses for the students. During April.

Travis Smith L - Residence Hall Association Reveille There are only three kinds of people who are awake at 2 a.m. dur- ing the week on LSU ' s campus: 1) drunken and riotous students, usu- ally male, looking for equally drunken and riotous females, most of whom have already gone to sleep; 2) frantic students, usually sober, trying desperately to under- stand the subject they should have been studying while they were drunk and riotous; and 3) the staff of the Daily Reveille trying to put to bed the next issue of the paper. Young students, affectionately dubbed cub reporters by the seasoned and toughened mem- bers of the press, are taken into the journalism school, drilled with the importance of accuracy and more accuracy and objectivity, and unleashed on the LSU campus to provide students with news they see in the Reveille. They are given assignments. They must meet a deadline. It ' s hard to be accurate. It ' s harder to be objective. Rush, rush, rush. Get the facts, check the facts, write the story, try to make it interesting . . . but not at the expense of facts. Edit the story. Correct the spel ling errors. Avoid libel. Take a breath; but only a short one. Worry about tomorrow ' s story. Of all the issues with which the Reveille was involved, the one which prompted the most stories, letters to the editor and editorials, was the issue of Paul Grosser. Some, including famous history professor T. Harry Williams, thought Grosser ' s firing was a scapegoat being used to show the Board of Supervisors that LSU was tightening its tenure standards. Well, the proverbial stuff began to hit the fan until Grosser was finally reinstated. Grosser had support from many people, including Reveille editor Lanny Keller, his editorial assistant Ted Hicks, and managing editor Kenny Duanway. In fact, the Baton Rouge, Enterprise, a weekly paper, said Dunaway was an unsung hero in the story of Paul Grosser. The paper even asserted that what res- urrected the Grosser issue was a hard hitting investigative story by Dunaway which showed that many professors did not meet the same demands for tenure that were being placed on Grosser. Whether for better or for worse, the University has Grosser back, and the Reveille played at least some role in keeping the student body informed and stir- red up enough to do something about it. Another controversial issue involved Iranian students, who made no secret of their hatred for that facist murderer, the Shah of Iran. When they got what they considered bad coverage from the Reveille, Dunaway, managing edi- tor, was accused of being a paid agent of Savak. the Shah ' s secret police. Dunaway said if that were true he wanted to know where to pick up the checks, being in finan- cial need at the time. Reveille life wasn ' t all so serious, however. One issue was devoted to humor in the form of a spoof of the National Enquirer. Some said they didn ' t like the issue, but copies were scooped up faster than you can say yellow journalism. The editorial writing of editor Kenny Dunaway and editorial assistant Steven A. Kinghorn was probably the highlight of the spring 1978 Reveille. Dunaway and Kinghorn kept the campus humming all semester. Their editorial topics included the proposed Bill of Student Rights L : SG- ,v Like im Lisa 318 Seasonings on: the Iranian Students Asso- ciation (Kinghorn finally told the ISA to blow it out your ass ): Gov. Edwin Edwards (Kinghorn ' s blast prompted at least one menac- ing phone call): and the SGA. Later, the Reveille was accused of supporting Bob Richey in the SGA presidential elections. Critics said the Reveille was devoting too much space to Richey ' s campaign and ignoring his opponent. Brad 1 ers. One of the semester ' s top stories dwelled upon the lack of an emer- gency service on campus. Some readers felt the story smacked of sensationalism: others disagreed. Like the editorial pages, however, the story (and others like them) gave the Reveille ' s readership a much-needed shot in the arm. While Dunaway and Kinghorn were getting most of the attention, the rest of the staff worked Monday through Thursday to get the paper out. Vickie Alleman and Gary Dias. associate managing editors, were responsible for the appearance of the newspaper: they did an admira- ble job. The news editors - - Deb David. Paula Ketelhut.

(Schultz) 320 Seasonings The Reveille day starts at approximately 8 a.m., when the sleepy-eyed news editor finishes unlocks the door and stumbles inside. It doesn ' t end until about 2 a.m. the next morning, when a sleepy-eyed news editor finished pasting up the paper and takes it to the print shop on River Road. Anything can happen in- between. Some days go smoothly, some don ' t, and some days make a Chinese fire drill look like the epi- tome of precision. Typewriters refuse to work prop- erly. The reporters can ' t get in touch with their sources; they ' re in conference. Irate students rant and rave about today ' s editorial. The editor receives a libel threat. Someone from I Pheltha Thi calls to complain about the lack of cov- erage his society is receiving. It seems everyone disagrees with the concert review in today ' s paper. Bitch, bitch, bitch. And, during all this, the staff has to concentrate on tomorrow ' s paper. It ' s not easy sometimes. In fact, it ' s a lot of hard work. So why do people work for the Reveille? ' For one thing, the pay is abso- lutely phenomenal (snicker). Rev- eille news editors have been known to be able to buy a really nice album with the money they ' ve saved all semester. Associate man- aging editors get paid a littl e more, so they ' ve been known to buy two albums. So maybe it ' s not the money . . . Then, of course, there is the celebrity status. People, upon learning that you are a Reveille staffer, react in a variety of ways: Big deal. So what? Why is the Reveille so boring? Oh, so you ' re one of the ones responsible! Gee, that ' s too bad. So maybe it ' s not the celebrity status . . . Whatever the reason, people do work at the Reveille. It ' s good expe- rience, and requires great sacrifice on the part of those involved. The Reveille and its staff has tradition- ally been the butt of jokes; it ' s been accused of everything under the sun, from being a tool of the administration to being one of the Shah of Iran ' s fascist puppets. Of course, that ' s a lot of baloney. In fact, the Reveille stopped sup- porting the Shah when the miserly ruler started falling behind in his paychecks. You know, even Reveille people have principles. And how can you support a man who ' s not even prompt in paying his puppets? There ' s just no way! And if you believe those last two paragraphs. I ' ve got some really nice land in southern Florida I ' d like to sell to vou. Organizations 321 The Assembly is a stagnant body in need of some rather vigor- ous revival. This is a good descrip- tion of the Assembly that Jay Dard- enne, Student Government Associ- ation president, inherited in May of 1977. For this reason, the Assembly undertook self-restructuring as one of its first objectives. Poor Assem- bly attendance and general inexpe- rience of the average Assembly member caused a reduction in the Assembly ' s ability to operate effec- tively. Early in the fall of 1977, the Assembly, with student approval, reduced its size from 55 to a more workable 34. The restructuring set the momen- tum for student involvement in several campus issues. The reins- tatement of popular political sci- ence professor Paul Grosser, the Tiger Cage fund, and the rejection of a proposed athletic fee assess- ment all occurred largely to SGA led efforts. 1.

By late spring, the project had raised SI 2.000 which the Athletic Depart- ment agreed to match with its funds. Late in the Fall of 1977, the LSU Athletic Department proposed a change in the athletic fee assess- ment which would require students to purchase tickets and increase athletic fees by $12. A petition with more than 6.000 signatures, along with a resolution against the pro- posed assessment was presented to the Board of Supervisors. The Board subsequently voted to reject the proposal. 1. Mark Schroeder. financial vice-president. Korted to keep SGA finances in order. (Meredith) 2. A 3. Students look pan in SG.Vs version of -Almost Anything Goes. (Nicholas) The SGA ' s budget of more than $75,000 for the fiscal year 1977-78 included increased appropriations for student programs and decreased fund allocations for operating expenses. Among the increased pro- grams were funding for the Univer- sity colleges, funding Tor research projects and funding for WLSU. The SGA also involved itself in attempting to get students heard through a legislative symposium, several opinion polls, a teacher evaluation program and a Constitu- tional amendment. A legislative symposium was held on March 14 to teach students how to become involved with the legislature. Tommy Hudson, a Baton Rouge senator, and Camille Gravel, a member of the Board of Supervi- sors, both talked at the meeting. The SGA also sponsored several opinion polls during the year to coincide with elections. Students voted heavily for on-campus voter registration, for a campus voting precinct, and for better bus service with a corresponding cost increase. A teacher evaluation program was also established and through a working agreement with Chancellor Murrill was set up as an academic program. This designation allowed the project free computer time and better cooperation from University personnel. A 1973 constitutional amend- ment created a position on the Board of Supervisors for a non-vot- ing student member. This past year Jay Dardenne was appointed to that position. The SGA, under his leadership, has undertaken the task of having another amendment put before the Louisiana Legislature that would give the student member a vote on the Board. Though the 1977-78 Assembly was not without its share of critics and criticisms, it did indeed have a productive year. 1.

(Nicholas) CONTRIBUTE 324 Seasonings f SGA Elections Held in Spring Apathy took first in the 1978 SGA elections held this past April as both the number of students vot- ing and the number of students running jn the elec- tions were at low levels. Voter turnout was highest for the primary election held on April 5 as just over 4000 students voted, a lowly 1 8 7 voter turnout. The vote that drew the most debate was not an election at all. The referendum on the proposed revision of the Bill of Student Rights was the cause of more debate, more advertising, and more organ- izing than even the presidential primary. Students, led by the Committee of Rights and Education (COR ' E). defeated the bill with 84% of the vote. The presidential election which culminated on April 12 with a runoff between Bob Richey and Brad Myers was the end result of two weeks of campaigning by these two students. Bob Richey was elected president in that runoff by a comforta- ble margin of 61 to 39 per cent. In the other elections. Amy Carbonette was elected legislative vice-president and Bill Camp- bell, financial vice-president. Pat Dunn and David Karam were elected to the Union Governing Board, and Gene Lambert was elected to the Ath- letic Council seat. I. 2.

WLSU is making it after a four-year struggle with the administration, and almost no aca- demic support. Media Director Jon Fisher sub- mitted a request to the Federal Communications Commission to allow WLSU to broadcast as an FM educational station, in compli- ance with a new FCC ruling. To help with the preparations, WLSU worked out an agreement with Cablevision of Baton Rouge last summer and this January began broadcasting over cable radio. This has greatly increased the size of the audience and the professionalism of the station. Previously, only dorms and a few selected campus build- ings could receive WLSU ' s trans- mission. Many students say having a really good radio station at LSU is difficult and the station may never operate at its full potential. The problem is that the station gets little or no support from academia. There is no effective comprehensive broadcasting curriculum at LSU, according to staffers. Fall station manager David Tru- fant commented, WLSU has made it on its own. It had to train its own administrators, jocks and program- mers from people with little experi- ence and with little outside help. WLSU is like an academic depart- ment itself and it does a better job of training radio personnel than any of the University courses. The student need is great, and potential is great and the opportu- nity has arrived. WLSU-FM is what the University has needed for a long, long time. 332 Seasonings 1.

Randy Hayden Organizations 333 To Be or Not to Be Greek Fraternal organizations were founded over 200 years ago to fulfill a fundamental but universal need among college students; the need for close friendship in an atmos- phere of helpfulness. The ability for fraternal organi- zations to endure for so many gen- erations lies in the fact that the organizations subscribe to stand- ards. Standards which involve a tra- dition of excellence in behavior, conduct, character, and program- ming. Greeks and the Greek system at LSU; sometimes they ' re complain- ing, sometimes they ' re criticized, and yet sometimes they ' re praised, complimented and honored. Several individuals from various phases of campus life were inter- viewed concerning the role and effects Greeks have had on the Uni- versity. Members of the administration, independents, de-pledged Greeks and open-minded Greeks were asked their opinions concerning Greekism and LSU. WHY DID YOU PLEDGE? Sorority member: I was impressed with the beautiful houses, the number of individuals within the Greek system, the social aspect of Greek organizations, how many Greeks were actively involved in campus and community activities and the leadership poten- tial of belonging to a Greek organi- zation. Most importantly, however, I pledged because of the people I had met while going through rush. The girls were friendly, cordial, hospita- ble and seemed sincerely interested in ME! Fraternity member: Although I became exhausted with the multi- tude of handshakes, eyes glaring down at my name tag and the same old standard ' rushing questions, ' I saw something more. It was evident to me that in the fraternities I rushed, the members respected, cared for and were proud of each other. It ' s what we as fraternity members call and try to sell in rush - the brotherhood. The members were proud of their brotherhood and offered to me, as a rushee, the opportunity to become a part of, and to share in experiencing some- thing in my college career which would prove ' invaluable ' to me in future years. WHY DIDN ' T YOU PLEDGE? Independent: I just couldn ' t hack the tears . . .the main rushing factor in ' preference parties ' is based upon emotion. Usually, some tear-jerker of a story is told in a candle-lit atmosphere with mem- bers identically adorned in all-white dresses. After the tearful ceremony, I was informed of the tremendous sadness and deep state of depres- 334 Seasonings ,-jgi.- sion which would result if I didn ' t pledge. How could I refuse to pledge after ALL the sisters had reserved exclusively for ME a ' spe- cial place ' eternally in the hearts of ALL ABC ' s. For some reason, the whole thing reminded me some- what of a funeral. WHY DID YOU DE-PLEDGE? Depledged Fraternity member (1): The monthly fees became too expensive. I would go back and re- pledge if I had the money, but with national dues, chapter dues, social fees, pledge fees, initiation fees, semester assessments, formal assessments and the like, I was going bankrupt! (2): There was too much politics and too many cliques. Depledged Sorority member: The smiles end after rush ... I came to the realization there were too many restrictions put upon me Greeks participated in all aspects of campus life. in order to conform to the stand- ards of ABC. I didn ' t agree with rules such as: always look nice when you wear anything represent- ing our beloved ABC, don ' t walk downstairs without shoes or with curlers in your hair, dress ' appropri- ately ' at all social functions, study for pledge tests, attend pledge meet- ings and the many other written and ESPECIALLY un-written rules of properly conditioned and refined southern belles. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF GREEK COMPETITION IN CAMPUS EVENTS SUCH AS SONGFEST, JAM-JAM, HOME- COMING, ETC? Fraternity member: In Greek organizations, there is a strong sense of pride involved in competi- tion. Members of Greek organiza- tions are playing, performing or Greeks 335 To Be or Not to Be Greek . . continued working not for the benefit of them- selves, but for an organization of individuals they believe in and are proud to be a part of. Sorority member: In the future, I ' m afraid the competition may become solely based on the compe- titive, rather than the fun in work- ing together. Songfest, in recent years, for example, has become a very elaborate, professional and terribly expensive form of enter- tainment. WHAT EFFECTS DOES MEM- BERSHIP IN A GREEK ORGANIZATION HAVE UPON THE INDIVIDUAL? Administration representative: For some students, membership in a fraternity or sorority offers the individual an opportunity to grow, to mature, to learn about people and to develop inherent talents and abilities undeveloped and undiscov- ered during high school years. Thus, for these students, member- ship in a Greek organization is val- uable to enriching the total person- ality of the individual in preparing him or her in dealing effectively with the ' outside world ' . Fraternity member: In such a large University as LSU, the stu- dent needs a group of peers with which to discuss problems, study with, learn from and party with. Involved members in Greek organi- zations are able to know and meet people and, also, the individual can decide for himself his own potential and the extent of his involvement in his fraternity, the University or the. community. DO YOU THINK GREEKS ENCOURAGE SCHOLARSHIP? Administration representative (1): Most certainly ... the national organizations set stringent standards upon which their mem- bers are required by national con- stitutions and statutes to meet in order to become an initiated mem- ber. (2): Most chapters on campus present awards for outstanding achievement, enforce study and quiet hours, and only allow mem- bers with respectable grade-point averages to have the privilege of moving into the house. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE RUSH PROCEDURE ON CAMPUS? Sorority member: If the IFC could in some way employ a rush- ing program similar to Panhellen- ic ' s, there would not be as many men dropping out of or being balled by fraternities. Sororities have an advantage because girls wishing to participate in rush week are required to submit information and pictures of themselves before rush actually begins. This program allows sororities to see who is com- ing through rush, to see prospective members (girls they ' want ' ), and also makes rushing a lot easier. The rusher, because of having prior knowledge of the rushee, is able to communicate about mutual inter- ests, backgrounds, hobbies, talents, etc. ARE FRIENDSHIPS WITHIN GREEK ORGANIZATIONS DIFFERENT THAN THOSE BETWEEN OTHER GROUPS? Independent: It really depends upon individual interpretation of the word ' group ' and how many persons compose a ' group ' . However, although not a Greek, it is safe to say that membership within a Greek association offers a person a greater amount of ' expo- sure ' to potential friends. There is always a place to go, people to talk to and things to do with other peo- ple. The ' difference ' in the friend- ships would have to be associated with ritual and initiation. The Greeks share a common, mutual bond experienced in the brother- hood or sisterhood of the organiza- tion which makes membership in the ' group ' unique, exclusive and ' elite ' . 336 1.

(Nicholas) Greeks Double as Jocks After a full season of competition in flag football, raquetball, tennis, golf, swimming, track, softball and volleyball, overall sweepstakes win- ners for each fraternity bracket were announced at the conclusion of the intramural track meet this past spring. Sports throughout the year were divided into major and minor sports and had respective point spreads for each sport. The fraternities were grouped into three color brackets with respect to the number of members in the particular organization. The bracket encompassing the seven largest fraternities was the purple bracket. Included in this bracket was Kappa Sigma, Sigma Chi, Acacia, Theta Xi, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The middle bracket included Lambda Chi Alpha, Delta Tau Delta, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Theta, Alpha Tau Omega, Pi Kappa Alpha and Delta Kappa Epsilon. These fraternities made up the gold bracket. The white bracket, composed of the smaller fraternities, contained Phi Delta Theta, Zeta Beta Tau, Delta Upsilon, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and Alpha Gamma Rho. At the end of the sports season, Sigma Chi was the overall Athletic Sweepstakes victor in the purple bracket. This year marked the 19th consecutive year in the past twenty years that the Milk and Donut boys captured the trophy in the purple bracket. With 675 total points, Sigma Chi placed first in flag football, volley- ball, basketball, and tied with Aca- cia in softball. Delta Tau Delta was the victor in the gold bracket. The Delts scored 600 total points this past year and placed first in volleyball. In the gold bracket. Lambda Chi won basketball; FIJI won softball and PKT won flag football. In the white bracket, the Phi Delts captured the first place title in their division. Phi Delts placed first in flag football and volleyball and gained 710 total points in their divi- sion. Delta Upsilon won basketball, Alpha Gamma Rho won softball, and Zeta Beta Tau took both swim- ming and track in the white bracket of competition. Sororities, unlike fraternity com- petition, are not divided into brack- ets. Delta Zeta won football. Delta Gamma won volleyball; Zeta Tau Alpha won basketball; Chi Omega won softball; Kappa Kappa Gamma won swimming, and Kappa Delta placed first in the track events. : 338 Seasonings 1.

(Photos b Pesson) Greets 339 Songfest Tradition Continues Spirit of the Rails was the win- ning theme this year for Sigma Chi and Delta Delta Delta in the annual IFC-Panhellenic sponsored Song- fest. An LSU tradition for more than 50 years. Songfest was an enjoyable evening of song and dance pre- sented in the Assembly Center. Group preparation for Songfest began in the fall semester when individual groups held auditions for singing parts of the program. Auditions were necessary due to the increased popularity and number of persons in the organizations who desired to participate. Predominantly and traditionally a Greek competition, independent groups were urged and encouraged to participate and compete. One member of East Hall remarked. Fraternities and sororities have an added advantage of disciplined organization over the independent groups ... it is easier in Greek organizations to gather members to practice and put everything they have into the program because there is such a strong sense of pride. The theme of the program and the majority of the songs were cho- sen by the Songfest chairpersons of the respective groups, and were well thought out over the summer holi- days. Intensive rehearsals and choos- ing and construction of costumes and scenery were done upon return- ing from the Christmas holidays. Choreography, at this time, was predominantly in the planning stages because it was necessary, due to the seven-minute time limitation, to cut phrases, add crescendos, rearrange music and decide on which dramatic, climactic notes and phrases should be concentrated upon. Teaching everyone the correct steps, sharp moves and still remem- bering diction, enunciation, har- monv and blend at the same time, is difficult and challenging. said the Songfest chairperson of Sigma Chi. The groups averaged practicing two or three hours a night, three or four nights a week up until the final phases of the show. After choreog- raphy, editing of the music and cos- tumes were completed, practice became as intense as every night for some groups. It ' s rough. notes a Songfest competitor representing Tri-Delta, but it all seems worth it the night of Songfest when staging and scen- ery is finished, everyone you have rehearsed and practiced with for so many hours are confident and dressed in Songfest attire, and you know the notes and steps back- wards and forwards. Songs in the winning competition for Sigma Chi and Tri-Delta included: Chattanooga Choo Choo. This Train, Atchison. Topeka and the Santa Fe. I ' ve Been Workin ' on the Railroad. and Wabash Cannon Ball. The second place trophy was awarded to Delta Tau Delta and Kappa Delta with their rendition of 1.

A colorful handpainted back- drop of the Robert E. Lee steam- boat accompanied the group as they sang and danced to the music of Robert E. Lee. Proud Mary. and Old Man River. Theta Goes to the Circus was the winning theme in the singles division performed by Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. The members dressed as little girls and performed well-choreographed versions of songs including Send in the Clowns. Man on the Flying Tra- peze. Here Comes the Circus. and Talk to the Animals. Delta Gamma placed second in the singles competition with their performance of a LSO show enti- tled A Tribute to the 40 ' s.

(Long) Greek Life 341 Panhellenic Councils The LSU Panhellenic Council was recognized as the top council in the country this past year. The National Panhellenic Conference Award honored the group because of its true spirit, loyalties and friendships. The council was made up of two representatives from each sorority on campus and coordi- nated activities on the strongly Greek LSU campus. In mid- August 1,113 girls regis- tered for rush. The week ' s activities, which Panhellenic oversaw con- sisted of ice water parties skit; Do Your Own Thing and preference parties. Quota for the groups was 68 and while AE Phi, Alpha Phi and Theta set their own quotas, 747 bids were extended for new pledges. Rush was an enormous task for the council requiring months of prepa- ration which included interviewing rush advisors, designing a rush booklet and sending out numerous letters. 1.

A jambalaya dinner in November was given for Greeks as well as several all-Greek TGIFs. Immediately upon returning for the second semester both councils sponsored Greek Week. Its activi- ties included a forum Greeks Pres- ent and Future, Orson Bean as a guest speaker, and several less for- mal activities such as a hamburger- eating contest and a Thursday night keg party. In the spring Panhellenic helped sororities participate in the Big Buddy program and the council also planned a retreat for its new delegates. 1. Marisa Thaxton 2. Missy Fry 3. Soma Fontenot 4.

Phis breathed a sigh of relief when the Muscular Dystro- phy Marathon ended. It meant the end of nights selling doughnuts and hot chocolate and days selling Cokes. No more hours drawing ads or planning the skateboard contest. Their efforts didn ' t go unrewarded, though, for the girls were recog- nized as the highest contributors, per head, of any group on campus. Sisterhood also played a big part in the year, with an ice cream party, a pledge retreat, and kidnap. Hooker and Fifties parties high- lighted the fall semester.

They entertained the patients with songs and games. The sorority returned at Christmastime with gifts of stockings filled with fruit and candy. The spring semester began with a Valentine dance honoring the club ' s sweethearts. Profits went toward a scholarship for an out- standing incoming freshman. As an ongoing project they planned to adopt underprivileged boys and girls and expose them to aspects of life such as museums, circuses and movies. 1.

The publication, Colle- giate News featured an article on the function which was sponsored in an effort to play down the Greek image of an alcoholic-oriented social life. A large crowd gathered on the parade ground for the dinner. The IFC began a tutoring program this year. The scholarship committee provided tutors twice a week in four major subject areas for fraternity pledges. Author of the movie Fraternity Row, Charles Allison spoke at LSU as part of Greek Week activities. Par- ticipating in the forum on Greeks - Present and Future the author dis- cussed the Greek system with a national Panhellenic representative, the dean of students from Southern Mississippi and the traveling secretary of Fiji. Allison also made a guest appearance in a journalism class on campus. In the spring, IFC sponsored Song-, fest with Panhellenic and one member of the council co-chaired the event.! The council also coordinated plans for 1 the South Sea Island parties held all the end of April. In order to keep fraternities informed on activities, a newsletter, Paper Clips, was started and distrib- uted weekly to the fraternities. Lu Interf raternity Council 386 Seasonings 1.

He was a Kappa Sig. is corrected by. He is a Kappa Sig. or a Fiji. SAE or whatever Greek organization. It ' s interesting to note some of the country ' s prominent men who in their college careers have been initiated into the Greek world. Ger- ald Ford not only knew many of the top military secrets of the country, but he was also familiar with the DKE fraternity ritual. Before Bob Barker ever gave out his first right price he was initiated into Sigma Nu. Ed McMahon. co-host on the Tonight Show, is a Phi Kappa Theta, as is Bob Hope. Pat Boone loves milk, white shoes, and proba- bly the Rebel flag due to his KA affiliation. Not surprisingly Earl Butz. for- mer secretary of agriculture is an Alpha Gamma Rho. J. C. Penney is also a member. Phi Delta Theta claims Burt Reynolds, along with William Randolph Hearst as alumni. Barry Goldwater. Warren Beany and John Wayne are all alumni of Sigma Chi. Robert Red- ford is a well-known Kappa Sig. Robert Young, better known as Marcus Welby. M.D.. is an SAE. Mac Davis is a Pike. Famous ZBTs include Samuel Goldwin of Metro- Goldwin Mayer and the infamous Chuck Barns of the Gong Show. Greeks 387 LSU ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT 3 I Meredith l.MikeHarlan 2. Johnny Johnson 3.

The IFAC was composed of ath- letic chairmen from each fraternity competing in sports events. Fraternities were divided into three brackets, according to the size of each individual group. The larg- est bracket was purple which was made up of Theta Xi, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Chi, Acacia, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Sigma Nu. Gold was the middle bracket and Lambda Chi Alpha, Fiji, Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Pi Kappa Tau, Pi Kappa Alpha and Delta Tau Delta participated in the competition. White bracket consisted of Phi Delta Theta, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Alpha Gamma Rho, Zeta Beta Tau and Delta Upsilon. The council organized the games and kept an accurate record of points won throughout the year in each competitive sport. 388 Seasonings rll Trophies piled up in the Acacia house this year as Acacia entered campuswide competitions.

According to one member of the fraternity , the men of AGR choose not to take part in the glam- our-filled events such as Songfest and expensive homecoming decora- tions with a 389 foot tiger with blinking eyelids and cashmere fur. AGR is a unique organization which is a combination of the only social-professional fraternity. The Alpha Epsilon chapter has finished first in scholarship for the past four out of five years: has had a member as president of the College of Agri- culture in the past six of seven ears: and serves as a link between the social structure of the LSI! campus and the students of the Col- lege of Agriculture. In the spirit of aiding the commu- nit . AGR sponsors an annual dance for a retired person ' s home. AGR is the owner and operator of the famous bucking crawfish which appears every year at Jam- Jam along with some spicy boiled crawfish cooked bv resident cooks. I.

The Broth- ers arrive early for breakfast to sing old Swedish folk songs. Then when the breakfast is ready everyone scurries into the dining room for a delicious meal of eggs, spam, bacon, spam, sausage, and spam. Between breakfast and lunch the Brothers occupy themselves with hobbies like precision driving, underwater cultivation of algae, and the genealogy of all those per- sons living in past generations on the earth (except the Pepsi genera- tion). Lunchtime at Chateau DEKE is a treat!!! All the Brothers excitedly await the daily serving of spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, and spam. Those who aren ' t fond of baked beans are given generous helpings of spam instead. After lunch the Brothers enjoy a restful afternoon of world peace negotia- tions, building box gurder bridges, and curing all known diseases. For dinner the Brothers consume mass quantitites of .Chipped Spam on toast. After dinner everyone enjoys running into walls, mum- bling and burrowing through ele- phants. DEKEs take fraternity life very seriously as you can see. You see, in Delpta Kappa Epsilon, we adhere to nothing less than a strict dancing around with the knees bent atti- tude.

Meetings and all ph ases of the organization are non-secret and members often have several guests at regular meetings. The original founders of DU vowed to form a fraternity whkh would not be founded on the prin- ciples of secrecy and oppression, but on justice. Hence, the name Delta Upsilon, which translated means Justice our Foundation. As one DU said, DU is not lim- ited to athletes or scholars, but strives to take the normal guy, develop him to the total man and direct him on a path which will prove to benefit him in later life. 1.

The trip to and from Cancun, reservations, hotel, food and some expense money was paid for by the fraternity. Pike national donated over $160,000 to renovate and redeco- rate the fraternity house. Pike ' s house manager reported the major- ity of the money was spent on con- structing a slanted roof, new carpet and paneling. The previous roof held water and caused numerous problems. Pike was the fifth fraternity founded on the LSU campus, and this year the chapter celebrated its 75th year on campus. In community events, Pike aided the Baton Rouge Optimist Club and participated this year in Clean up Baton Rouge Day. 418 Seasonings Pi Kappa Alpha Greeks 419 The first anniversary of receiving the national charter of Omega Psi Phi was celebrated in style by mem- bers of the Theta Kappa chapter. An informal dinner-dance open to all campus students was held in celebration of the chapter ' s recogni- tion by the national fraternity as an official chapter. Originally, the Omega Psi Phi Omegas were founded on the LSU campus in 1975. A series of marches, chants and praises to the fraternity were held in front of the Union to commemorate the founding. These activities were referred to as stomping and were acted out in respect to the organiza- tion. One of the chants sung by Omegas was Bop to Omega. The four cardinal principles of the national fraternity include: manhood, scholarship, persever- ance and uplifting of mankind. The motto of the fraternity is taken from the first letters of the words, Omega Psi Phi. When translated, the motto reads: Friendship is essential to the soul. Famous Omegas include Marvin Gaye; Roy Wilkins, executive director of the NAACP; and Rev. Jessie Jackson, head of Operation PUSH. 1.

This past spring the fraternity presented Saturday Night Cheater at Jam-Jam with Tri- Delta sorority. The group also sponsored a softball tournament in the spring with teams from around the state participating. This year, the tournament was on the parade ground and coordinated with an SGA-sponsored free concert and jambalaya dinner. South Sea Island weekend in April found the SAE ' s at their usual Corral party. After building a high fence around their yard and filling it with hay, the members dressed in cowboy attire. The chapter made plans on improving and remodeling their house this past year. The Epsilon chapter at LSU is the largest SAE chapter in the country, while SAE nationally is the largest fraternity.

David ' B IAE Greeks 421 It ' s evident that one of the favor- ite pastimes of adventurous or bored college students was the painting of the lions in front of the SAE house. The lion is a ritualistic symbol of the national fraternity, and in front of all SAE houses across the nation can be seen two lions majestically guarding the entrance to the chap- ter houses. According to one fraternity member, the poor lion guarding the Epsilon chapter house has been painted almost every color in the rainbow. 1. A close look at this picture reveals that the last vandal who painted the SAE lion had an artistic inspiration the rear end of the lion is polka-dot- ted.

The architects of the newly con- structed and renovated Sigma Chi house took grave precautions when designing the stately white House of the Southern Woods located on Dalrymple Drive. They said it couldn ' t be done, remarked one fraternity member concerning the fund raising efforts but actives and alumni of the frater- nity combined their energies. The group attempted to contact all initiated members of the frater- nity that resided in Louisiana. Donations and pledged bids were accepted by phone and through a mailing list. Sufficient money was donated and pledged to grant the fraternity permission from the Board of Supervisors to guarantee financing of the loan. Construction plans were com- plete and in less than 30 days after the hearing before the Board, con- struction began. The contracting firm of Boquet and Leblanc com- pleted the house on January 27, 1978. 1. 2. Sigma (his moved back into the recon- structed house that had been gutted by fire in December 1976.

Founded in 1887, the Phi chapter was the third fraternity to be formed on the LSU campus. Since its founding, the chapter initiated over 1000 men into the fraternity. The term snakes referred to the athletic teams of the fraternity.

It is a book for you, the students. It is difficult to compress the ' 77- ' 78 year at LSU into 448 pages somehow unifying those pages under a central theme. We have tried to emphasize academics, which many times have been pushed under the rug. We hope that the addition of captions for all 2000-odd (don ' t ask me to count them) pictures will be helpful to you, not only now, but ten or twenty years from now when you are recalling your years at LSL ' . It was hard working out of an office 12x24 with no darkroom to call our own. two typewriters (sometimes more thanks to SGA), Kathy ' s radio, and a map on the wall for decoration. Sometimes we didn ' t even have an office. When the Union closed over breaks (which was when most of our work fell), we had to move even ' thing first to Jane ' s house, then Brad ' s apartment, then the ZBT house. Aca- cia house, and finally, to Brad ' s home in Dallas. It was a handful of dedicated people who saw the book through to the finish. Thanks to the whole staff, especially Michelle Meredith. Durward Casteel. Debbie Terrell, and Brad Pesson who not only worked the regular school term without pay, but well into summer. It is such people as these who really make the GUMBO possible. Special thanks to Sports Information and the Reveille for providing pictures which our photogra- phers didn ' t. And again to Sports Info and Paul Mannasah for the use of its darkroom. Also thanks to Institutional Research who helped with various statistics, etc. Kathy kept them busy. Thanks to the J-School for the four students on independent study they were a big help. And to Carl Jordan for those nights when we had to work past the Union ' s 1 1 p.m. closing. To Jon Fisher, media director, who kept bugging us with such questions as You didn ' t answer my question, exactly how many pages are left? and What do you mean more film? And to his secretary. Norma Bajon. for interceding when Fisher was in a bad mood. And we could never have done it without our great and understanding Taylor rep..

Entertainers Bing Crosby, Charlie Chaplin, and Chicago ' s Terry Rath also died, and Leonard Skynard ' s plane crashed on its way to the concert at LSU. The Bee Gees and Fleetwood Mac kept the charts busy while the Commodores topped the soul cate- gory. Former President Richard Nixon published his memoirs. ERA proponents pushed for an extension to ratify the amendment, with three states needed.

New York suffered a power blackout and widespread looting, while heavy rains caused extensive flood- ing in Denham Springs. New Orle- ans, and New Iberia. Farmers threatened a farm strike to push for higher prices of crops. OPEC held its oil prices for another year, but inflation hit a runaway course. Former U.S. Vice-President and LSU student Hubert H. Humphrey died at age 66 of cancer. Boyd Pro- fessor George Lowery. director of the LSU Museum of Natural Sci- ence, died at 64. Closing I .
