The new look for the band is credited to Eddie Epperson, director of the band, who said he had seen the chaps used with only one other band and liked it so well that he decided to give it a try.

SAU Student Foundation Collect The Gems The SAU Student Foundation is a multi-faceted student managed organization which is advised by Sonny Whittington, Director of Admissions and Sherry Goodheart, Admissions Counselor. It is gov- erned hy a Steering Committee which consists of nine to thirteen senior members who also select new new members from the faculty nominated applicants. The Stu- dent Foundation is primarily in- volved in the Admissions Office where members volunteer their time to process applications from high school students, send out in- formation and brochures to stu- dents who have acknowledged an interest in SAU through the ACT testing system, and coordinate campus tours for visiting students which includes meeting faculty members of prospective schools. The Student Foundation assists department heads in academic pro- jects such as science fairs and other high school oriented activities and also is known for its willingness to help and support other various campus-wide events. By traveling to surrounding high schools on re- cruiting trips with advisors, Whit- tington or Goodheart, the Student Foundation continues to encourage high school students to consider SAU and answer questions they may have concerning college life. The Student Foundation is an ac- tive behind-the-scenes force striv- ing to continually build spirit and the SAU winning tradition! Sonny Whittington tells one of his jokes to some of the members.
