Certainly the 70’s were as unique as any years this campus has known. It was a fast changing decade, though, and with our entry into the 80’s, we are promised other dramatic changes in both our campus and our world. At UAM we’ve already been exposed to a few of these quick changes. Tuition was in- creased suddenly, from $230 to $300 per semester. Contrary to predictions from re- cent demographic studies, enrollment took a significant increase, with another even larger increase expected next year. Perhaps the greatest surprise of all was UAM’s hands- down winning of the AIC football champion- ship. Men’s basketball took a surge forward with a winning year, which was unfortunate- ly cut short with a heartbreaking loss in the AIC Tournament semi-finals. On the national front, our country has been faced with numerous crises and presis- tent problems. Inflation has been around so long that it has become begrudgingly accept- ed. The state of our foreign affairs has de- generated, as demonstrated by Soviet mili- tary growth and adventures and the ever-prolonged Iranian crisis. These problems have marred the beginning of the 80’s, a decade during which we may be forced to fight to live a good life - or more it sien gravely, our freedom. The possi- bility of a draft spurned a vicious nationwide response, this time in- cluding women, and gasoline has been transformed from something one simply puts into the tank toa relative luxury. UAM is in the process of getting a facelift. This year’s influx of freshmen will completely alter the compositions of our fraternities, sororities, and other organizations. Superficially, we are about to be- gin the construction of a $4 million Student Center. It is probably the single most important event in UAM’s history in respect to its benefit to the institution. | { | | There has been sacrifice with pro- gress, and in many cases it is almost regrettable. Most of us watched with at least a twinge of remorse as the old National Guard Armory, the site of countless basketball games and dances, was slowly beaten down and uncere- moniously trucked away. Student life has notably improved in the past few years after suffering seri- ous deficiencies in earlier times. The creation of a Student Activities Board and a boost from the administration has opened the door to big name c ollege circuit entertainment. This is definitely a positive factor in recruitment. UAM is making progress in many areas, now. Among them is the initi- iiahee aa sine ene one ation of the “Unlimited Potential’’ pro- gram which offers educational opportu- nities to Southeast Arkansas residents of all ages. Even though the program is only in its infancy, it offers an unpreci- dented opportunity for many area resi- dents to obtain a college education. We have taken a step past “small town college”’ status. It is not the purpose of a yearbook to predict the future, as much as we’d like to look ahead. Instead, we hope to freeze a year in time and preserve it as ae ni ta lg Se ip nn i a ee 11 12 iteas ites: The 80’s will undoubtedly hold dras- tic changes for this institution, but they are yet to be realized.

Standing in lines for what seems like hours and wondering why the catalog never said anything about such mental strain. For the instructors, registration must certainly be re- dundant. Most of us only have to go through it a few times. Many play chess, do crossword puzzles, or just look for humor in the face of frustration. Soon it is all over, though, and hundreds of students are all fitted neatly in the class schedules, ready to begin a new semester.

The final securing of the whole of the $4.5 million needed to construct the building was the finale of two years of campaigning, trying to LEGEND RCULATION ORO SG FO wo =D an me STUDENT CENTER justify the need for the Center to the legislature, and the waiting. Most administrators were optimistic about procuring the building funds. Since they are derived from surplus state revenues, though, priority and need play a large role in who gets what and when. As fate would have it, state revenues fell short necessitating an ‘adjustment’ which translated into a twelve month wait for UAM. In February, 1980, the funds were released. All parties concerned in the procurement of the Student Center funds deserve a round of applause because that building will play a very large role in the future of this University. Its value as a recruitment tool is inestimable. The value that it holds to a not- too-distant student body is more readily recognized. The Student Center is, more specifically, an HPER (Health, Physical Education and Recreation) facility. In a single split-level building, we will have a gym, handball court, shower and locker facilities, sauna, and weightrooms. The architect’s floorplan drawings were one of the first steps taken in planning the new Student Center. In addition, the Center will contain a cafeteria, a commons, a gameroom, a snack bar, a music room and a TV room. The SGA and SAB will have offices there and classrooms will be available for organizational meetings. The Student Center represents a significant step foreward for the University of Arkansas at Monticello, one which has been anxiusly awaited by many people who worked to get it. Very few UAM students are aware of the fact that in building the Center we extinguish the single deficiency that stands in the way of our becoming a complete small University. The Center is vital in creating a productive student social life. In view of other developments, notably the establishment of a Student Activities Board, the addition of this building to the campus will have double importance. The student body can make its opinions better known to its SGA and SAB through close The scale model represents the final planning stages for the new Center, which should be fully constructed by early 1982. access to their offices. Centralization is a positive element in any organization, and our student body is no exception. Our benefits are obvious. The Center will be constructed behind the BSU, and adjacent to Maxwell Hall. It will have ample parking and, eventually, outdoor tennis courts. Work is scheduled to begin in the summer of 1980 and should take eighteen months to complete. Student Life 21 ELATION ABOUNDS AT.

While it’s true that in moderation it is nothing more than a social accessory, the former statement is likewise valid. And nowhere is it more valid than at college. This is not to imply that most beer drinkers are hell- raisers, although many are. As the college student is not a traditionally mellow sipper of apertif, one would expect a degree of exhuberance in alcoholic pursuits. In short, students are after the disjoint alcohol buzz. Historically, the quest for alcohol has carried UAM student afar. For years the pilgramage to Dermott was: Lacey — only 13 miles from Monticello, it has become the liquor mecca of this area. an inconvenient, if-not outright perilous, necessity. A peril to those under twenty-one, who contrived to enter Monticello with a load of liquor by any of many gravel roads. Dermott has lost a clientele with the sudden appearance of an alcoholic oasis in nearby Lacey, a mere fifteen minutes south of Monticello. With a mere shifting of gears, VAM students dismissed those who had so faithfully catered to dry gullets for decades. Be that as it may, the shift in patronage has not | SE a a e . ° ° a . . oee eevee ee® changed the net result. | Frats and sororities, | weekend partiers and | perpetual drunks continue to pay homage to the gods of fermentation.

The total enrollment a year ago was 1488. Enroll- ment jumped to 1710 students this spring, reflecting a 13 percent increase. The increase was largely due to the initiation of the Unlimited Potential program which transported stu- dents from outlying areas to night classes on campus. I UP had a registration of 211 students. Statistical studies had earlier pointed toward a de- cline in nationwide student enrollment beginning in the early 1980’s with the drop expected to continue through the mid-80’s. By that time, most of the war babies of the post WW II era will have completed their college educations. However, UAM appears to have overcome the enrollment odds.

On that evening over 600 students packed the FAC to see and hear ‘Le Roux,’ a band that can definitely be considered ‘big name’ on the current rock yardstick. The concert sold out in only a day and a half, and the support of the student body proved that class entertainment can be successfully offered to the students who’ve so long awaited it. It was rather enlightening to see approximately a hundred people waiting outside the FAC doors at 7:00 p.m. when the show was slated to begin at 8:00 p.m. Once the doors opened, the auditorium quickly filled to over its 600-seat capacity. Even though the | audience was somewhat reserved, the response | to ‘Louisiana’s Le Roux’ was outstanding considering past student body responses. There also seemed to be groupies of a kind at UAM, notably the high-pitched ‘squealers’ that heralded the opening of ‘Le Roux’s’ act. ‘Le Roux’s’ show featured two new songs that were released this spring. The songs reflect a definite transition in ‘Le Roux’s’ musical style. “Those two songs really reflect the direction the band is moving,’”’ commented the articulate Pollard. “‘A lot more emphasis on straight-ahead rock and roll. There will be an element or two of the old ‘Le Roux’ though.” All six members of the band hail from Louisiana, a fact that Pollard said contributed to the band’s cohesiveness and put them in the position of musical diplomats from that state. One of the most often asked questions of any rock band is how the band achieved success. ‘‘Air-play is the name of the game,” quipped Pollard, citing ‘Le Roux’s’ first hit New Orleans Ladies as their springboard to stardom. Their most unusual concert tour? They all concurred with Pollard’s choice. “We took a six week tour of Africa, and that was the most interesting thing we’ve ever done. 50 Student Life Pollard said that, for now, the band mustestay on the road. “‘Most of us would probably prefer doing more recording than we’re doing now, but that situation just isn’t feasible yet. Until the band gets as big as we want it to be, this is what we’ll have to do, you know — just constantly, constantly touring. The road is pretty rough, but this band handles it pretty well. We did 270 days last year.” “There will always be a ‘Le Roux signature,” Pollard said, referring to their new music as opposed to their easily recognized older style. ‘“There will be two or three things that are reminescent of our earlier music, some funky stuff, a couple of ballad-type things with the harmonizing, but I’m more excited about this album than any so far. There are so many bands, so much music that its hard to be really unique. I think the big smooth vocals on top of the funky tracks have been our trademark, though. | don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone else doing that particular thing. I’m ready for the next change. We don’t want to get stale.” Student Life 51 GREASY GREENS 52 Student Life “Greasy Greens,” a Little Rock-based show band specializing in boogie and rhythm and blues appeared in concert in the FAC April 29. A familiar attraction on college campuses in the South, “Greasy Greens’? combined comedy and dance with music ranging from rock and roll to be-bop, with an emphasis on different musical eras. Tunes ranged from the folk and swing of the teens and 20’s to the top songs of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Student Life 53 The eight-member band, as part of their act, wore costumes which reflect the mood or era of the music that they played. The ‘‘Greens’’ performed two 45 minute sets with a costume change between. 54 Student Life Mark McCollum, a combination musician, comedian, actor and impressionist presented a free concert in the FAC March 5. The event was sponsored by the Student Activities Board. A versatile performer, McColium recently won the Third Annual San Francisco Comedy Competition and has appeared on the Showtime and Home Box Office Comedy Specials, “‘The Big Laugh-Off.’” McCollum’s performance included impressions of famous characters, cartoon heroes, and musical artists ranging from Joel Grey and Maria Muldaur to Led Zepplin. According to an entertainment critic for the Los Angeles Times, McCollum’s impressions “‘are so on- target they might as well have been Memorex.” McCollum was selected by the Activities Board after watching his performance at the regional conference of the National Entertainment of Campus Activities Association in Ft. Worth, Tex.

When Dr. Thomas Husak formed the Jazz-Rock Ensemble last September, he wanted to give his students the opportunity to participate in a truly American art form — jazz. “I wanted to give my students the chance to play, learn, write and study the only form of music that is truly an American creation,” said Husak. ‘‘Jazz is our music, and it’s just as important as any other.” Husak created the 19-member ensemble at the beginning of the school year. In the past several months, the group has appeared in concert in high schools all over south Arkansas, and made a 30- minute appearance on Arkansas Educational Television, with the hope of more television dates’ in the future. As indicated in the group’s name, jazz is not the only music the ensemble plays. “We try to play a wide variety of music that we feel is relevant to today’s tastes and attitudes,’’ commented Husak. “We range from rhythm and blues to traditional jazz and even some progressive country tunes. We also play what I call fusion pieces, fusing the sounds of jazz and rock together.” Most of the group’s tunes are Husak arrangements and many are his original compositions. He wants to teach his students to arrange and compose also. ‘“‘We do more than just play music and have a good time,” explains Husak. ‘“The Jazz-Rock Ensemble is a lab, a practical exercise in the study of contemporary popular music.” ; 56 Student Life Sean IETN ¥ bg r “ROSSER eae ea, Student Life 57 FORUMS POUSSAINT RUSHER DEBATE William Rusher Dr. Alvin Poussaint, associate professor of psychiatry at Har- vard University and an expert on race relations, debated the use of affirmative action programs with noted conservative publisher William Rusher at UAM November 12. The debate was offered as part of the Winthrop Rockefelle: Distinguished Lecture Series. A leader in the civil rights movement of the 1960’s, Poussaint is one of the leading authorities on what he calls “‘Black self- denigrating tendencies.”” His book, ‘‘Why Blacks Kill Blacks,” is considered the definitive work on the problem. 58 Student Life A native of East Harlem, N.Y., Poussaint completed his under- graduate study at Columbia College and received his medical degree from Cornell Medical College. He later studied psychiatry at UCLA’s Neuropsychiatric Institute. William Rusher has served as publisher of William F. Buckley’s “‘National Reviews,”’ the country’s leading journal of conserva- tive opinion, since 1957. Rusher is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School, and was an associate for seven years in the litigation department of Shearman and Sterling, Wall Street’s largest law firm.

Clark’s lecture on consumer affairs was open to the public, with a special invitation issued to pre-law and political science students, as well as southeast Arkansas attorneys. Clark spoke to a-small crowd on consumer actions and its role with state governments. i ih | Doris Kearns, a specialist in presidential politics and author of “Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream,” spoke at UAM 1} April 10, 1980. A professor of government at Harvard University, Kearns spoke on the state of the Presidency and the 1980 Presidential election campaign. Kearns is a former special consultant to President Johnson, and was chosen by Johnson to help him write his memoirs. “Publishers Weekly” praised her biography of Johnson, saying “never before has a President spoken with such candor of his nightmares, ambitions, feelings and career.” Kearns is a magna cum laude graduate of Colby College. In 1968 she received her doctorate and taught government at Har- vard while also working part-time for President Johnson. In 1969, she became an assistant professor at Harvard and a special consultant to Johnson. Kearns’ lecture was funded by the S H Foundation, which is sponsored by the Sperry and Hutchinson Company. Student Life 59 60 Student Life Monticello can be an inconceivably dull place at times. It has no nightlife in the traditional sense; no clubs or decent restaurants to speak of. What, then, do students do to pass the time? “Just sitting around” appears to be the major pre-occupation of most UAM students. They sit around and watch TV, sit around and play backgammon or chess, sit around and gab, or sit around and drink. As it is rapidly becoming to expensive to drive, one of the above or a modification of it usually occupies a student’s free time. Of course there are other diversions, depending upon the student. Some immerse themselves in a particular sport, tennis, for example. Along the same line, others become pool or pinball junkies, always to be found in the general vicinity of Commons. Fortunately, life in Monticello and at UAM is not quite as dry as the previous paragraphs would lead one to believe, otherwise t he entire campus would exist of little more than single-minded automatons. Many students find that they can easily continue their hometown hobbies in Monticello. Fishing, frisbee and hunting, archery, art and music are just a few examples.

As the school’s social life grows more complex with the years, one would hope that making friends would be an enduring pasttime.

PINK FLOYD Her new music reveals a new depth, a maturation, that is punctuated by her characteristic (and also very profitable) disco interludes. One of the most perplexing development of the late seventies was punk rock. In its empirical form, punk rock is the expression of basic emotions. Anger, love, fear, hate (particularly — most real punks are highly abusive) top the list of favorites. Due to its overwhelming grass-roots side effect, true punk rock is a model of simplicity. It is decidely not human music. Punk rock is hopefully dead, but a few of its grooms remain along with a Today’s variety of music is so varied it runs from one end of the spectrum to the other, with every thing from rock and roll to easy listening to the blues. 64 Student Life . a = mcr © © @ C) PMONC Ltt Left: With a wide array of music available, listening equipment has expanded and improved.

Many people believe that the only change is that the nomer ‘punk’ became obsolete. Blondie, The Cars, The Knack and virtually all of the emerging rock bands have elements of old rock and this so called new wave. Has anyone else gotten Linda Ronstadt and Billy into this business of change? Joel both released albums this year which include a definite modernization of sound, hers, ‘‘Mad Love”’ and his, ‘‘Glass Houses.”’ Other up-and-comers in the new revitalization of modern music: Toto with “Hydra” and the hit “99”; new albums by Heart; the touted “‘Tusk”’ experiment by Fleetwood Mac (many think the marching band a bit beneath Mac’s level); and Pink Floyd with a marginal effort in its release of ‘“‘The Wall,’ an instant hit with FM-rock. Herb Alpert (that’s the same guy on your parents’ Tijuana Brass albums) had a new album with quite a bit of AM FM airplay, and what jazz could be a better highlight of the Olympic closing ceremonies at Lake Placid than that of Chuck Mangione? Once, the opinion was the music could really proceed no farther from soul or disco or rock but that speculation has been almost unanimously tossed out the window.

The grandfather of unisex fashions, its been around for a long time. They fit one’s little brother as well as grandmother, and size is no problem; simply a matter of S-M-L-XL. For so simple a creation, the T-shirt enjoys an almost Next to billboards. T-shirts are one of the best means of advertising. unmatched diversity. It comes in a variety of colors, at one end, dad’s conservative white, progressing to all colors of the spectrum, tie dies, stripes, even checks. Perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of the T-shirt is not so much what color it is as what’s written on it. A few figures have achieved T-shirt fame, notably Richard Nixon, Evel Knievel, and other personalities. Obviously, the T-shirt can be used as an advertising tool as well as an indicator of one’s favorite sports figure or team, rock band or race car driver. One T- shirt has achieved a particularly memorable position, at least in my mind, the shirt that proclaims, ‘I’m with dummy,” with an arrow pointing off the shirt toward “dummy,” who is supposedly standing next to this T-shirt wearer. What if there’s nobody standing next to this T-shirt wearer? The shirt then implies something almost spiritual. “I’m with dummy,” as in ‘possession of, or inclusiveness.’ That just shows that T-shirt A T-shirt can advertise a group of which you’re a member, such as the Foresters.

Student Life 83 84 Student Life Americans have found it difficult to abandon their infatuation with the large block V-8 engine. The gas crunch has virtually doomed the big car, the symbol of American luxury. Traditionally, college aged young people have been most strongly attracted to speed and power in cars and fortunately, such attributes are still to be found on the auto market. The Pontiac Trans-Am is probably the most popular powercar on the market today. With each successive model, it retains its speed and style with notable advances in handling and response, and more recently, improved E.P.A. mileage ratings. Now available in turbo models (the 1980 Indy pace car) it is an example of the technological advance brought about by the fuel situation. | Americans continue to import cars, and the college student has shown his affection to a few models in particular. The big Fiat and Triumph flurry of the mid- seventies gave way when Japan’s Nissan introduced the 240-A Datsun, followed by the 260-Z, the the popular 280-Z. The last year has seen the introduction of the 280-ZX, a sleek, racy car which has found a place in America’s hearts and pocketbooks. There are options to those who still prefer size and luxury over the small and low-slung sports cars. aie. Although the era of economy cars is moving in quickly, some people still prefer the larger luxury models. American automakers are continuing the turbocharging experiment begun by Buick with its stylish V-6 Turbo Regal, easy on gas and full of power. Ford introduced its turbo line with the sporty turbo Mustang, and the list continues to grow. As car sales continue to plummet, experts agree that we are witnessing a transition in the American car market, with new and exciting breeds being developed even now, to reach the market within the next three years. Whatever the case, the consumer still has a broad choice of cars, the sporty, the fast, the economical, the luxurious, the roomy, but the ideal is that we will soon be able to obtain (at a reasonable price) models that combine all of those desirable features.

There are two sides to the forester, the most important, his academic pur- suits. Forestry is a technical profession- al field, and its curriculum is according- ly tough.

Student Life 93 94 Student Life Though it often appears secondary in importance to the student, labs and classes are the crux of the college education. As we well know, a student’s preoccupation with other matters sometimes diminishes the importance of a class. They are frequently “blown off” or “ce Cutie: On the other hand, certain students will make classes come rank, hail or high water. This achievement is made even more remarkable when one considers that there are few classes that a studet can claim to truly enjoy. It’s only human nature to discard something disinteresting ur rebel against someone who “‘rubs one the wrong way’’. Whatever the case, labs and classes serve a singular purpose; instruction and Cindy Watts and Derrick Black work on an experiment in chemistry lab. education. If | may quote an instructor’s wise words, the student who disregards classes is, in effect, “attempting to CLEP out of college, entirely.”’ That’s a fine concept, but unfortunately most of us do not have and cannot independently acquire the knowledge to become degreed in a field of study, without attending classes. Classes themselves can be boring to the point of sedative. It is not at all uncommon to see nodding heads and hidden faces at odd angles enjoying forty winks in less interesting classes. Labs may be just as boring, and almost always at least twice as long as the normal class, but the fact that one remains occupied dispels all thoughts of sleep. The sleeping student is but one extreme. The other is the single-minded scholar who plows through interminable hours of boredom with pen in constant motion, seemingly rooted to each word uttered by the instructor. This exhuberance is common among freshmen who think they’re going to set the world on fire and graduate Summa Cum Laude. lronically, if one maintains that peak of attention and involvement in classes, coupled with careful and effective study, they do achieve that honor student classification despite the jeers they’ve gotten from peers over the years for studying instead of partying. The instructor makes the class. A colorful personality holds interest, not a colorful subject. While there are usually a group of high- grade graduates each year, there are an equal number UAM campus. of sub-par students who have wound up down the ladder due to disinterest, usually interpreted as “‘lack of drive.”’ Maybe the instructor feels obligated to maintain a modicum of rigidity and formality in classes. This inflexibility, not concerning cuts and the like, but in the way the classes are conducted, should be eliminated. Rapport is the key in class problems, as in so many others that we face each day. = Above left: Mrs. Adams instructs student on lab _ procedures.

The Special Olympics provides them with an opportunity to be normal children for a day. Even though there is a first place finisher in each event, anyone who has worked a Special Olympics will testify that all of the children are winners. Many of the students who are involved in staging the Olympics feel a special pity for these children, but the overriding emotion is one of happiness and fulfillment. These are what the children feel while participating, and the true pity is that the event can only be held once per year.

Student Life 107 108 Student Life Almost every forestry student has been to summer camp. Certainly every UAM forestry graduate has. Ask him to recount the experience, though, and he will not tell you of swimming and handicrafts; but of ticks, chiggers, and a summer job for which the only checks he or she got were checks in an instructor’s gradebook. Without a doubt, the term ‘‘summer camp” is a misnomer. It does take place in the summer, but the similarity to anything sponsored by the Boy Scouts or your church, ends there, although summer camping foresters, in the face of a rattlesnake, have been known to find religion. During the UAM Forestry Department’s summer camp program, students learn timber: cruising, surveying, and other essential skills with extensive ‘“‘hands-on’’ experience. Some foresters will tell you that UAM’s summer camp is what separates our program from that of many other schools. While graduates of other institutions may only have heard lectures on a subject such as timber cruising, (determing the wood volume contained in a given forested area) UAM graduates have spent at least 3 hot summer weeks in the woods actually cruising timber.

Student Life 119 120 Student Life UAM students who attended summer school in 1980 will look back someday and remember they survived one of the hottest summer’s ever experienced in southeast Arkansas. The searing heat wave began in Texas in mid-June, with temperatures in Dallas and Wichita Falls reaching 113 degrees. The heat gradually moved into Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana, setting records and causing serious damage to crops, livestock and poultry. Temperatures in Arkansas climbed above 100 and stayed there for days. Little Rock reached 107 while the mercury climbed to 104 in Monticello. Grass turned January- brown, electric circui ts overloaded, air conditioners broke down, and no one ventured outside unless they had to. The heat wave of 1980 reminded old timers of the terrible summer of 1936, when over 15,000 people in Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma died due to the heat. With air conditioning, the death toll in 1980 still climbed well over 150 mostly older persons in homes with no cooling systems. For Southeast Arkansas farmers, the heat meant the threat of losing their crops. With water supplies drying up, soybean farmers watched their fields wilt The extreme heat of the summer of 1980 caused UAM grounds workers problems. Water sprinklers worked overtime trying to prolong the life of the campus landscape. under the unyielding sun. Tomatoe plants dried up, causing all the fruit to ripen at once, leaving rotting tomatoes on the vine. About the only crop not effected by the heat was cotton, which continued to thrive in spite of the heat and drought. ¢ ¢: 4.64 oa e eee @%, Left: Temperatures climbed above 100 degrees to break a state record of 10 consecutive days. Above: UAM students were forced to peel out of sweat-soaked clothing while enjoying some of their favorite pasttimes. Arkansas poultry farmers buried millions of breeder hens that died of suffocation in the intense heat. Milk production from dairy cattle dropped dramatically, while in Texas, ranchers shipped their steers to the northern plains to find grazing land. Temperatures rarely dropped below 80 degrees at night, and rose to the mid 90’s by 9 a.m. About the only people who enjoyed the summer of 1980 were swimming pool operators, ice cream vendors, and air conditioner salesmen. Student Life 121 ne Son tS ON HIS VACATION THERE 122 Student Life Decade of Crisis Decade of Decision The sixties were a decade of social turmoil, of antiwar and civil rights protest, of social upheaval. The seventies were a decade of change. The eighties will probably be remembered as a decade of crisis, a word which has come to be used as much as is the word “apathy.” Individual situations vary about the nation. Some people fare better than others, but as Americans we are becoming more ALSO... affected as a whole by occurances abroad. As the eighties begin, we face a crisis in leadership, a crisis in Iran, a crisis in Afghanistan, and fuel and inflation crises. As of this writing, there is no end in sight to any of the crises, unless possibly to that of leadership, and apparently it will not be resolved until November, when we’ll face another four years under Jimmy Carter or a change to a somewhat ominous Ronald Reagan. Old-timers assure me that we’ve yet to experience “‘hard times’ despite all of our economical woes. Perhaps that is the only optimistic assessment available in regard to our current situation - we’ve a long way to go before we sink to the low of the Great Depression. It’s true that we continue to zoom around in our cars, though gasoline prices have nearly doubled in the past two years, we continue to pay our rent and put food on the table, though inflation rose to over eighteen percent last year. We continue to feel a modicum of security though the Soviets have surpassed us in ground, sea, strategic air and nuclear strike capabilities. Our Middle-Eastern ace-in-the-hole, Iran, has been wrenched from our grasp. It’s next-door neighbor, Afghanistan, is under total Soviet control. The Soviets have established strongholds in Yemen, Somolia and other strategic points in the Mideast while we’ve condescendingly turned our backs with such iron-gutted statements as ‘‘the status-quo is unacceptable” (Soviet invasion of Afghanistan). We’ve lost our credibility, and consequently power, among our NATO allies and Japan through a flaky hit-and-miss (mostly miss) foreign policy. And it’s our fault. Americans have become a bit to nosy concerning government ; affairs. At the risk of condoning covert activities, had the CIA not had its hands bound by the purges of the seventies and subsequently its effectiveness drastically diminished, many of | our problems could have been foreseen. American intelligence actually warned of potential | dangers to Americans in Iran, but the Carter administration characteristically listened with deaf ears. Though far from the point of desperation, America and the rest of the “‘free” world is staking | much on the outcome of November’s election. The question is, do we stick with an ex-peanut farmer, or elect an ex-actor as our next President? As for this writer, politics and acting seem much nearer kin than politics and peanut farming, even if the actor is typically | characterized (especially by | Pravda) as as ‘“‘warmonger.”’ Priorities and Progress A special interest group is a section of humanity, or in our case, Americans, opposed or devoted to a certain ideal or situation. As a rule, in order for them to have any success they must deal with a subject common to many Americans, and sympathetic to the same. Civil rights groups represent a special interest, and rightfully so as our country is founded, or supposedly so, upon justice, freedom, and equality for all of its citizens. The particular special interest that is so newsworthy today is that anti-nuclear group. They’re mothers and housewives and doctors, automobile mechanics, ex-flower children and earth- people, lawyers, politicians, in short, regular people like you and I, screaming ‘‘please save our children,” and “‘Hell no, we won’t glow.”’ With those battle cries they’ve lobbied their way into the Democratic Platform committees and have ala Ted Kennedy written in a provision that declares that nuclear energy IMPEACH HIM ABSURD PT, INFLATION THERMOMETER gradually be dumped like so much radioactive waste. This was effected at precisely the same time that Jimmy Carter, virtually uncontested Democratic nominee, proclaimed to a Venice Summit the development of that same fuel source. Small wonder that Europe has lost faith in the U.S.’s ability to make a clear decision. Nuclear alternatives? They are scarce. Oil is out of the question. Coal reignites the anti-pollution lobby and will result in the destruction of many beautiful acres, though it is our most practical alternative and considerably less expensive than oil. Solar energy as a sole source of power on a large scale is out of the question until our solar technology has time to advance. Maybe when we can post solar collectors on satellites orbiting earth and micro-wave the energy down to power stations, it will be feasable. For now, though, the idea of solar collectors for every home is not only grossly uneconomical but absurd. The modern home could not possibly function continuously on solar energy without a battery storage system too large to consider. Student Life 123 nnn Dace ee C“C:isCtCC 124 Student Life Synthetic fuels are an option, but one that will take time and money to develop, and will probably not be much cheaper than oil. It will reduce our dependence upon the Mideast, though, which is the ultimate goal. Back to neclear fission - radio- activity is the overriding fear. It’s a justifiable fear, though not deserving the general paranoia that it now creates. Sharks eat more people than reactors kill. In progressive terms, hundreds more die per year in car accidents (that ( () convenient contraption, a necessity not needed eighty years ago) than do “‘nukes.’’ How about electricity itself? Live wires kill people each year. Admittedly, the spectre of indiscriminant and overwhelming death by radiation is much different from the isolated car electrical line accident examples. The day that there is a nuclear accident which results in harm to the surrounding inhabitants, then let it end. To this day, there has not been a major accident, not even TMI (Three Mile Island). That may sound like a cruel game of risks to play with the American public, but we took greater risks when we sent troops into Iran on an abortive rescue mission. We must live with the constant possibility (however “ONE- ARMED BANDIT” remote) of nuclear warfare. Why don’t anti-nukes concentrate on the real nuclear threat - the one- and-for-all curtailment of nuclear weapons development? Besides, safe nuclear fusion (the reverse of fission, atom splitting, fusion joines nuclei and emits much smaller amounts of radiation) is technologically around the corner. We must figure out a way to generate a heat high enough to carry out the process on an economically feasable level. The sun does it every day, and with fusion we won’t have to be 93 million miles distant to harvest that power. On the home front, UAM experienced a successful year. Sports flourished and student life and activities received a much- needed boost. At the end of Dr. Fred Taylor’s first three years as Chancellor, notable progress has been made. Foremost in terms of benefit to the student body was last year’s 4 Sound LIKE CASE ‘ OF OIL DEPEDENCY COMPLICATED BY LOSS OF FOREIGN INFLUENGE... TAKE A WAR ECONOMY AWD CALL ME IN Five securement of $4.5 million to be used in the construction of a student center. With groundbreaking scheduled for this fall, the center will be erected on the west side of the campus adjacent to Maxwell Hall. The student body’s reaction to the building’s construction was practically nil, though, a response that diminished the victory of attaining the funds. Any success is twice as sweet when the students stand up and support it. Support they did as the Weevils rolled to the AIC Championship, mopping up all of its conference opponents except Ouachita Baptist University. The only other game that the Weevils lost in their 9-2 season was a non-conference bout against Nicholls State at Thibodaux, La., | a NCAA Division II team. It was the season opener, and even die- hard UAM fans were wondering if it was to hail another bad to mediocre year. Not so as the YEARS.-..-. Weevils posted win after win, interrupted by a squeaker at Ouachita. The students filled the stand and the Green literally ran up and down the field against most opponents while a vicious defense held most rivals to low scores or shut-outs. It was a disappointment that the Weevils, in a banner year, failed to make the post-season play-offs. It was also disappointing to lose those thirteen starters to graduation. The men’s basketball team has suffered through a number of less-than-spectacular years. Coach Doug Barnes has had some talented players but has yet to assemble a truly outstanding team. This year’s Mean Green squad managed to hold its own against teams generally considered superior and went to the post-season tourney to lose in semi-finals to UA-PB, who won the tournament. UAM was led by senior Theodis Bealer, outstanding in all aspects of the game. Jeff Johnson and Darrell Rhodes came on to score crucial points and key assists throughout the season, along with Karl Smith who was sidelined as the Green slid into a mid-season slump. Center Joey Anders held his own against opponents who ranged from three to six inches taller than himself, the tallest starter on the squad. Perhaps the most positive side of the Mean Green’s season was the student body’s attitude toward men’s basketball. They packed the pit for most games, memorably the climax game when the Weevils downed All-star Anthony Avery and visiting Henderson State. Sports constitute only a part of the year and institution. While students may feel more pride with the success of a sports program, there are many other organizations that deserve proportional support. As UAM students, we can only hope to make things better through participation. For years we've been on the bottom of the AIC pile in virtually every category. A reversal of student attitudes, an adaptation of student interests to other important segments of student life, knowledge and willingness to work with a progressive administration are the keys to a bright future for UAM. Student Life 125 d F . ts ; q 2 Me sale yee Teen SN = = i) = O 128 Academics Perhaps Dr. Taylor’s single most im- portant achievement this year as UAM’s Chancellor, was securing funds for a much needed student center at UAM. The student center is the one addition to this campus which will bring UAM’s phys- ical facilities up to a comparable level with other institutions. Under the watchful eye of Chancellor Taylor, UAM also took a big step forward this year in receiving an unconditional 5- year accreditation from the NCA. This accomplishment is one of which both stu- dents and faculty can be proud. DR. FRED TAYLOR OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR (501) 367-6811 Monticello, Arkonsas 71655 | Ld OF ARKANSAS AT MONTICELLO May 14, 1980 Dear Students: The 1979-80 school year has been a good one for the University of Arkansas at Monticello. The student body has tesponded positively to the institution's efforts to upgrade the quality of student life and campus activities. Student morale has been good, participation in campus activities has improved, and high student spirit has been evident. The faculty and staff have worked hard to develop and maintain quality education programs to meet your career needs. Through their efforts, the institution's accreditation was continued for an additional five years. This is positive evidence that UAM students have available to them programs | of comparable quality to programs being offered other students across the nation. This year was excellent for UAM in meeting some of its building needs. While we lost the services of the armory, we did get our funding for the much needed student center and physical education building. Plans are to break ground about July 1, 1980, with a completion date of January 1982. This facility will be central to the continued development of student life and academic programing. This has been a good year. Others will be even better because of the commitment to the school by the students, alumni, faculty and staff. Sincerely, : .

When he came to UAM (then Arkansas A M) in 1945, there was no forestry pro- gram. Chamberlin immediately took hold and proceded to initiate and nurture Arkan- sas’ first forestry curriculum, which eventu- ally grew to be ranked among the top five in the nation in job placement. “‘Hank’’, as he is fondly referred to by his students, has taught every one of the 586 forestry graduates that UAM has produced during his 35 year era. He has certainly touched the life of each and every one of his students in some way. This fact was graphi- cally revealed on May 2, 1980 when ap- proximately 200 of Chamberlin’s former stu- dents assembled in Monticello to honor him and present him with a check for $3,500 as a token of their appreciation. Chamberlin’s presence here has altered this campus and his efforts will undoubtedly continue to show. He will, without a doubt, be forever remembered. ef Above: “Hank”’ as his students see him; teaching Dendrology (the identification of trees).

UAM lost not only a biology profes- sor but one of its most loyal supporters. The sixty four - year-old educator had been with UAM since 1947 when he first became a part of the institution as its Dean of Men. One could go on incessant- ly about Mr. Steelman’s in- valuable contributions to this school. One could be told of twenty odd years of work as a faculty representative to the AIC, or of the years he spent as head of the Biology Department, or of the tre- mendous amount of work un- dertaken to help mold that department into a much revered position. But that’s all facts, dates, and numbers. It’s of little significance to the many science majors and athletes who have come to know him. Mr. Steelman provided strength as well as friendship. Our Biology Department has become well respected in the past five years due to the high calibre students it has produced. Recommendations sent from his department are highly regarded and Steelman was a fundamental force behind this. At the time of his death, he was the director of pre- medical studies at UAM. The Fordyce native was always ready to listen and give sound advice to those who needed it. He offered encouragement for those in pre-professional training and health care fields and he could be count- ed upon to help with preparations for the admissions tests which are so important for entrance into medical schools. Mr. Steelman asked for respect from his students, and he gave it in return. He was fair and just. And though there were rules to follow, he tried to be flexible enough to benefit his students. It has been rare that such an unassuming man could shape so many lives. Mr. Steelman’s leadership not only won the AIC conference recognition but he was instrumental in the development of many of the league’s rules and regulations - always putting the athlete first. He is gone but has left behind the fruits of his hard work and loyalty to this institution. He will be sorely missed, but he will also be greatly appreciated and our love for this man will go on forever.

After all, one of her three sons, one of her eight grandsons, and her daughter-in-law graduated from UAM, and her youngest grandson is currently attending school there. Buy why does a woman who turned 75 February 15 decide to go to college? ‘Well, it was either that or bingo,” she laughed, “and I’m not ready for bingo.” “Bingo has changed my life twice,” she explained. ‘‘Eighteen years ago, my husband and | were on vacation in Brownsville, Tex., and I saw a bunch of senior citizens sitting around playing bingo. I decided that when I got that age, I wouldn’t just sit around. Then when I moved back to McGehee (from Dallas, Tex.) last September, I went to one of those retirement places where they serve free lunches and saw the elderly playing bingo. | decided that wasn’t my thing. So when I got the opportunity to take night classes, | thought it would be a good thing to do.” Helen Stobaugh is 75 going on 19. A talkative woman with an infectious smile, she is never at a loss for words. “When I first decided to take night classes, I thought about taking public speak- ing,” she said, ‘‘but my son said that I didn’t need to know how to talk.” Instead of public speaking, she enrolled in a short stories course. Each Tuesday evening, Mrs. Stobaugh boards a school bus at Great Rivers Vocational Technical School in McGehee for Gardner, Skip Rison Gibbs, Kim Star City Gill, Mike Dumas Gill, Tamera Lynn Fordyce Gordon, Leon Louann Gould, Ann McGehee Gracey, James Monticello Griffith, T.J.

The transportation is a free part of UAM’s “Unlimited Potential” program that provides free bus and van transportation to the University campus from loca- tions all over southeast Arkansas. So far the program has attract- ed 225 students ranging from high school juniors to 80-year-olds. They take part in the program for different reasons — some to augment their high school education to better prepare for col- lege, others to complete a degree that was interrupted by military service or motherhood. Mrs. Stobaugh enrolled so she could keep up with her remarkable family. Middle son Robert Stobaugh Jr., is a chemical engineer who has traveled the world for Exxon and Texaco. He once had an hour long audience with the Shah of Iran, and wrote a best-selling book on energy. He is currently a professor in the Harvard University School of Business. Her son by her first marriage, Sam Farrell, is a retired farmer and licensed Methodist minister in McGehee. Youngest son Bill and his wife Nelle are both teachers in McGehee, although Bill retired recently due to ill health. Her only granddaughter, Susan Samuelson, is married to the son of Nobel Prize winner Paul Samuelson. “You see why I had to go to college,” said Mrs. Stobaugh. “‘I couldn’t be the only ignorant one in the family.” Born and raised in McGehee, Mrs. Stobaugh was married at 15, had her first child at 17 and was divorced at 18. She didn’t finish high school, but received a more practical education. “My first degree was an M-R-S degree,” she said. “My second was a M-O-T-H-E-R degree.” . She married Robert Stobaugh of McGehee in 1925, and to- gether the couple owned and operated City Laundry on Main Street for 38 years. During that time, she saw a lot of changes in McGehee. “‘McGe- hee only had about 2,000 people when | was growing up,”’ said Mrs. Stobaugh. ‘‘Railroading was the big business then. Of course, there was always cotton farming too. After the railroads died out, McGehee just kind of sat there for a while, but it really began to grow when the paper mill came in.” After Robert was forced to retire for health reasons, the Stobaugh’s moved to Dallas in 1962 where Helen got a job managing an apartment complex. Her husband died in 1969, but Mrs. Stobaugh continued as an apartment manager until last ‘ EE EEO June. She returned to McGehee last September to retire, but doesn’t expect to spend her time in a rocking chair. Although she said her only real hobby is watching Johnny Carson, she enjoys cooking, reading, playing the organ, and traveling. Mrs. Stobaugh has been to Mexico, Canada, Venezuela, nine countries in Europe, and all but three states. Does she plan to slow down now that she’s reached 75? Not hardly. In fact, she can’t wait until next semester to sign up for more classes. “‘I think this program is just marvelous,” said Mrs. Stobaugh. “I think it’s a great thing for people my age or for anyone. I’m just looking forward to the next se- mester. I hope they have summer school.” According to Mrs. Stobaugh, there’s no real secret to staying young. She goes to bed at midnight, gets up early, doesn’t smoke, and takes only an occasional drink. “I guess the only advice I’d give is to stay interested in things,” she said. “I have young friends who keep me young. I think staying interested in life is the key.” Henley, Paula Camden High, Connie Hamburg High, Vickie Hamburg Hilburn, Cindy Tillar Hitchcock, Pam White Hall Hoffman, David Pine Bluff Holm, Frank Gloster, MS Hornbeck, Virginia DeWitt Horton, Billye G.

He is definitely the only black 6 foot 1 inch ordained minister, student, and bas- ketball player in the Arkansas Intercolle- giate Conference. And while basketball and the ministry may seem an odd combination, Chapple manages to do both quite well. The soph- omore forward from Louisville, Ken- tucky, spends his nights on the basketball court, but come Sunday morning, he can be found at the pulpit of the Monticello African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. Chapple came to UAM in 1978 through an unusual set of circumstances. After an outstanding prep career at J.M. Atherton High School in Louisville, he and his family moved to Dallas, Texas, midway through his senior year. After graduation, Chapple was asked to try out at Baylor University, and made the BU varsity as a walk-on. After a year of warming the bench at Hawkins, Darryl Crossett Hector, Brenda Garland Henry, Karen D. Warren Hicks, Carol Monticello Hinkle, Lewis Pine Bluff Hodges, Kim Warren Holzhauer, Sheila Gillett Hornaday, Lakita Thornton Hotmer, Julie Warren Hubbard, Karen Monticello Johns, Krissi Monticello Johnson, Arthur Crossett Johnson, Deborah Crossett Johnson, Marilyn Hermitage Jones, Jerri Fountain Hill Baylor, Chapple decided to follow his fa- ther, H.T. Wilkins, into the ministry and was ordained into the AME Zion Church. When Wilkins moved to Pine Bluff to take the pastorate at the Cherry Street AME Zion Church, Chapple came with him and soon became pastor of Metropo- litian AME Zion Church in Monticello. Coach Doug Barnes first saw Chapple in a pickup game against some of his starters two years ago, knew he had something special, and offered him a scholarship. According to Barnes, it was only a matter of time before Chapple became a starter. “I’ve known all along that Richard was a fine player,” said Barnes. “It just took him some time to learn our system and adjust to what we do.” “Richard is a tremendous athlete,” continued Barnes. “He has exceptional leaping ability and he’s the best defensive player we’ve got. With him in the lineup, we can look to do some different things.”’ ie Chapple on the court during one of his first year starts.

It was torn down, and rather quickly considering it was done manually. Inmates from the Cummins Correctional Unit began bashing out the windows and ledges of the structure. A scant four weeks later, the Armory, the site of numerous dances and intramural events over the years, lay in a pile of rubble. A steel cable (far left) was attached through a section of the building’s corner. On the other end of the cable was a large National Guard vehicle which, in effect, brought the walls down.

Tilley had just seen his Boll Weevils methodically crush South- ern Arkansas 35-18 to bring VAM its first outright Arkansas Intercol- legiate Conference football cham- pionship in 12 years. “This is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me as a coach,” said a smiling Til- ley. “To win the AIC champion- ship is just a great thing in my life. It’s something no one can take away.” Completing his second year at UAM, Tilley has brought the Wee- vils from a position as league door- mat to a national small-college power, compiling a 9-2 record, the school’s best since 1963. “This is a very unique team,” said Tilley. “We have 13 seniors who have learned what it is to compete in the AIC. They’ve pro- vided us the leadership we need- ed. And we got good play from some of our juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. Plus we have a very dedicated coaching staff. Johnny Hooks, Paul Rogers, and John Rollins deserve as much credit as | do for this championship.” The Weevils finished the season ranked 11th in the National Asso- ciation of Intercollegiate Athletics poll. 216 Athletics Top: Donald Harris tackles a Southern Arkansas player during the last game of the season, which gave UAM the AIC title outright.

WEEVILS RANKED NO. 1 IN AIC UAM’s drive to its first Arkansas Inter- collegiate Conference football champion- ship in 12 years began inauspiciously ona hot, muggy September night deep in Ca- jun country in Thibodaux, La. That night, a talented but untested group of Boll Weevils walked into John L. Guidry Stadium as heavy underdogs aga inst Nicholls State University, an. NCAA Division I-AA power. No one would have blamed the Wee- vils if they had closed their eyes, gritted their teeth, and taken what was expected to be a severe beating. But somebody forgot to tell the Weevils they were un- derdogs. For most of the first half, UAM domi- nated the potent Colonels. When Benjie Timmons broke free on a 33-yard keeper with 14:50 left in the first half, VAM led 7-0. Only a missed field goal by the usual- ly reliable Dannie Barker kept the Wee- vils from a 10-point lead. Then the roof fell in. Spurred by UAM 218 Athletics FOOTBALL Carnell Williams made some spectacular catches like this one behind the arm of Benjie Timmons. turnovers and a fleet slotback named Dwight Walker, Nicholls State responded with 17 quick points and went on to a deceivingly easy 37-7 win. After the game, a disappointed Harold Tilley sat in his motel room, searching for bright spots in the worst defeat of his short career at UAM. “‘Hey, we didn’t get beat as bad as the score shows,” said the second-year head coach. ‘“‘We got killed by big plays. You take those away, and we played ’em pretty close. We’ve just got to regroup. We’ll be back.” Almost three months later, Tilley was standing outside the visitor’s dressing room at Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia accepting congratulations from fans and well-wishers, the memory of the defeat at Nicholls State long forgotten. His Boll Weevils had just thrashed the Muleriders 35-18 to cap a 9-2 season which brought UAM its first conference title since 1967, a number 10 ranking in the NAIA poll, and a shower of individual honors for both Tilley and his players. “This is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me as a coach,” said a smiling Tilley. ‘““‘To win the AIC championship is just a great thing in my life. It’s something no one can take away.” Indeed, no one could deny UAM the AIC title in 1979. The Boll Weevils pos- sessed the league’s best defense, a unit that held opponents to 91 yards per game on the ground. The Weevil offense, which suffered in- juries to key personnel in 1978, de. el- oped into an explosive unit that could score on the ground and through the air from anywhere on the field. Over the last five weeks of the season, UAM averaged over 35 points a game. Individually, the Weevils were blessed with exceptional talent at several posi- tions, including: Clockwise from below: A sight we don’t care to see; a Weevil punt.

UAM broke or tied 26 individual and team school records, Tilley was selected coach-of-the-year by both the AIC and NAIA District 17, and no less than nine Weevils received first team recognition on the All-AIC and All-NAIA squads. “This was a very unique team,” said | Tilley. ‘We had 13 seniors who learned UAM’s touted defense sets against Arkansas Tech. what it was like to compete in the AIC. | They provided the leadership we needed. | And we got good play from some of our juniors, sophomores and freshman.

After losing the opener to Nicholls State, the Weevils rebounded against the Uni- versity of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, holding the Golden Lions to -11 yards rushing to post a 28-6 win.

An easy 29-7 win over Baptist Chris- tian College set up an early season show- down with preseason favorite Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia. Against the Tigers, UAM was its own worst enemy. The Boll Weevils lost five fumbles and an interception, and accumu- lated 76 yards in penalties to drop a 24- 10 decision. “We were pretty disappointed after the Ouachita game,” said Tilley. ‘We just had too many turnovers to expect to win. But I was proud of the way we came back against UCA.” After the Ouachita loss, no one could have foreseen what UAM would do to UCA. Before an overflow Homecoming crowd that included Governor Bill Clin- ton, UAM played an almost perfect game to destroy the undefeated and fourth- ranked Bears 35-7. “The UCA game gave us the confi- dence we needed,” said Tilley. “Before that, we had the feeling we were always the underdog. But that game showed that we were the equal of any team in the AIC” The Weevils defeated the Bears by Michael Kindle supplies backup help as John Tatum makes the hit on a Wonderboy. 222 Athletics | CE gi sd a a controlling the ball offensively for a school record 82 rushing attempts. Bingham ran for 159 yards and three touchdowns and Timmons added 72 yards as the Weevils exploded for 28 first half points. ““Our game plan was to keep the ball away from (Randy) Huffstickler and (Vaughn) Edwards,” said Tilley. “When you control the ball like we did, it’s hard for them to do much.” The next week, Timmons threw for 150 yards and two touchdowns in a lop- sided 41-7 win over Southeast Oklahoma in Durant. UAM overcame a case of fumbleitis to whip Arkansas Tech 22-14, and followed by ripping Harding for 37 points in the first two quarters on the way to a 50-7 rout. The next week, UAM faced archrival Henderson State at Cotton Boll Stadium and came away with a 30-12 victory that clinched a tie for the league champion- ship. To win the title outright, VAM had to defeat Southern Arkansas at Magnolia in the final game of the season. The Weevils left little doubt that they wanted the championship for themselves, as they blitzed the Muleriders for 28 points in the first half, 21 in the decisive second quar- ter. Bingham galloped for 135 yards on 19 carries and the Weevils rolled up 358 yards total offense to complete the 35-18 win and write a happy ending to their most successful season since 1963. Tilley pronounced the last win the most satisfying. “‘That last one gave us the AIC title outright,” he said. ‘We didn’t have to share it with anybody. That was what we were shooting for. It’s like a dream come true.” Benjie Timmons sets the offense at home, Timmons rolled up more yards on land and in the air than the Marines. A group of tired, but happy Weevils.

BLOSSOMS FINISH SEASON WITH 14-6 CONFERENCE RECORD Gwen Walker was clearly out of place. With the finals of the Arkansas Women’s Intercollegiate Sports Association basket- ball tournament about to begin, the great- est player in the league’s history was standing at the edge of the court in street clothes. Walker’s UAM Cotton Blossoms had been eliminated from the tournament in the semifinal round, and all that remained for her was to be introduced as part of the 1979-80 All-AWISA team before an appreciative crowd in Jeff Farris Center at the University of entral Arkansas. As the 6-1 senior from Humnoke walked to center court for the introduc- tions, an era ended. For four years, Gwen Walker had dominated women’s basket- ball in Arkansas. Although AWISA re- cords are incomplete, Walker is recog- nized as the greatest scorer, shooter and rebounder in league history. Her career totals read 2,378 points; 1,423 rebounds, and an amazing 62 per- cent shooting touch from the field. Her 45-point performance against Henderson State in 1979 is an Arkansas women’s collegiate record. Walker closed out her career at UAM by averaging 22.8 points per game as a senior. She scored over 30 points six times (41 against UA-Pine Bluff in the AWISA tournament) and earned her fourth straight selection to the All- AWISA team. She was also named to the AIAW All-America second team. Walker was the catalyst for the Cotton Blossoms in 1979-80, a team in transition Clockwise from above: The winning energy is apparent in Cotton Blossoms fans. Walker exhibits her winning style.

That’s why we weren’t consistent. You can chalk this year up to a learning | experience. We were building for the fu- ture. That’s why we played so many freshmen. They’re the ones who'll be the foundation of our program for the next few years.” The three freshmen who broke into the starting lineup were Teresa Summerford, a hot-shooting forward from Star City; Teresa Williams, a strong rebounding for- ward from Fayetteville; and Angenette Mitchell, a cat-quick guard from Dumas. They were joined by Walker in the pivot and point guard Dena Dennis, both sen- iors.

The Blossoms started the year in im- pressive fashion with four straight wins over UALR, Arkansas State, Henderson and Philander Smith before suffering a 108-36 pounding at Delta State. UAM rebounded with wins over Arkan- sas College and Ouachita to set up a rematch with Delta State in the Pit. The Lady Statesmen came into the game as one of the top women’s college basket- ball teams in the country, but had to fight for their lives to escape with a 75-65 win. It was UAM’s best performance of the year and Walker was spectacular, scoring 33 points, mostly from long range. ‘That’s the best I ever saw Gwen play,” Early commented after the game. ‘“‘She was just tremendous. Delta State’s coach told me Gwen played as well as the girls she coached at the World Univerity Games.” After their struggle with Delta State, the Blossoms suffered a letdown and dropped an important conference deci- sion to UAPB. UAM followed with a nar- row victory over UCA before losing to eventual league champion Arkansas Tech 63-58. The Blossoms came back with lopsided wins over Southern Arkansas and College of the Ozarks at home, but inexplicably lost a 78-77 overtime decision at SAU, a team they had beaten by 15 points four days earlier. After the loss to SAU, the Blossoms went on a tear, reeling off 10 straight wins to move into contention for the league title. UAPB broke the win streak with a 73-64 win. UAM closed out the regular season with a win over UCA and another loss to Tech. The Blossoms won their opening round game with UCA in the AWISA tournament at Conway, but for the third time lost to archrival UAPB to end the season. Reflecting on his first year in Monti- cello, Early noted, “I don’t think we can ever be satisfied with our season when we don’t win the conference, but the league had more competitive balance this season than it’s ever had. It was a good season and good experience. | just hope we can win 20 games every year.” Athletics 229 2 ee ———“—s—s——C S MEAN GREEN FAIRS WELL BASKETBALL Left: Theodis Bealer struggles for two points against Arkansas College.

Before a screaming, towel-waving throng that jammed UAM Field House to the rafters, the Boll Weevils whipped ninth-ranked Hendrix College 81-70 to take sole possession of first place in the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference race, Never mind that the Weevils couldn’t hang on to their conference leadership and eventually finished in a tie for fourth 30 Athletics fore succumbing to UA-Pine Bluff. For Barnes, the 1979-80 season was the culmination of four years hard work. When he came to Monticello in 1976, he was confronted with a basketball pro- gram at rock-bottom. Most of the scholar- ship players were academically ineligible, and UAM was regarded as a can’t-win situation by many of the coaches around the AIC. Barnes suffered through three straight losing seasons, but gradually began to as- sembly a competitive team he could mold to his philosophies of sound defense and controlled offense. The big turnaround came this year, and looking back, Barnes said the game with Hendrix was the high-water mark of a “‘very gratifying season.” “That first win over Hendrix was the high point of the season for me,”’ said Barnes. “‘It put us 6-0 in the conference. We were playing our best and we were all healthy. It was one of the best games we've played since I’ve been here. “That game really established us a le- gitimate contender for the league title,” he continued. “It gave us a lot of confi- dence. I think anytime you’ve been part of a losing program, confidence can make a big difference in how you play. “You know, winning is a funny thing. The winning edge is hard to describe.

They’ll work harder because they’ve won, and will want to keep on winning.” At the start of the season, UAM was lightly regarded around the AIC, but Barnes was optimistic. He had one super talent, Theodis Bealer, the league’s best guard, and surrounded him with exper- ienced players who knew their roles and got the most of their athletic ability. Joining Bealer in the backcourt were guards Jeff Johnson, who provided steady floor leadership, and Darrell Rhodes, who became one of the league’s best shooters. Joey Anders, at 6-5, the smallest center in the AIC, gave the Wee- vils rebounding strength inside, while for- wards Karl Smith and Larry Robinson provided deadly shooting from the wings. The Weevils opened poorly, with a 51- 49 loss at home to Belhaven. “‘I didn’t realize it at the time,” said Barnes, “‘but that loss probably did us more good than a win. It made us work harder.” UAM rebounded with an easy 89-73 win over Wisconsin-River Falls, then trav- eled to Springfield, Mo., where they won the Evangel College Classic Tournament, Karl Smith reaches up for a chance at a bucket.

UAM opened the AIC race with a 68-63 victory over Ouachita, then raised eye- brows around the state by whipping in succession; Henderson, Harding and Col- lege of the Ozarks. Following a noncon- ference loss at Delta State, the Weevils reached the Christmas break with an 8-2 record. More importantly, they were un- beaten in the AIC. Resuming play after the holiday break, the Weevils took an easy win over Xavier of New Orleans, came from behind to overtake Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, and coasted past Millsaps 86-68 to set up a showdown with Hen- drix.

The student body, Monticello, and southeast Arkansas got caught up in the excitement as the biggest crowd in over a decade squeezed into The Pit. Represen- tatives from two state newspapers, anda Little Rock television station were on hand to add to the hoopla. What they saw was a superb perfor- mance by a well-prepared team. UAM led from the early moments and blew to a 44- 32 advantage at the half, thanks to bal- anced scoring from Bealer, Smith and Johnson. The Weevils threatened ‘to make it a runaway when Rhodes nailed a long jumper for a 61-44 lead with just over ten minutes to play. It was then that Austin Sullivan, the Warriors 5-8 sharpshooter, began a shooting barrage that almost brought Hendrix back. With 7:04 left, UAM’s lead had been cut to 63-54, but the Warriors could get no closer than seven points down the stretch as the Weevils held on for the win. Now they were 12-2 for the season and 6- 0 in the AIC. That was the high point. The next day in practice, Smith sprained an ankle when he went for a rebound, and had to miss the next seven games. With his replace- ment Richard Chapple ill and playing at half speed, the Weevils suffered through a five-game losing streak before whipping Harding 92-70. The rest of the season was like a roller- coaster ride, up and down. The Weevils fell by six at Ozarks, came back with one of their best performances of the year in a 70-68 win at Hendrix, then dropped games to Arkansas Tech and Arkansas College. The Weevils concluded the regular sea- son by overcoming a 19-point deficit to beat Central Arkansas. They stunned pre-tournament favorite Arkansas Col- lege 75-74 in double overtime in the first round of the NAIA District Playoffs be- fore losing to UAPB. “I think we’ve proved in the past year, with the fan interest and our record, that we’ve turned the program around,” said Barnes. ‘“‘We are and will continue to be competitive in the AIC. I guess it’s espe- cially gratifying to me since so many peo- ple said it couldn’t be done. And it’s grati- fying for players like Theodis and Larry who’ve been here four years and stayed with it. And to the kids we’ve got now, Jeff and Darrell and the others, who took a chance on coming here when the pro- gram was down. “We won with a group of young men who some people said couldn’t play in the AIC.

Coming off a dismal 4-19 season in 1979, the Weevils rebounded to a 14-12 record in 1980. Coach John Rollins started as many as five freshmen at a time, and the rookies responded with outstanding play. “I knew at the start of the season we’d bea lot better,”’ said Rollins. “‘I felt like we had the material to win the AIC (Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference). I knew we were young, and that was what eventual- ly kept us from being a contender.

They were joined by sophomore catch- i er Charlie Gray of Pine Bluff, sophomore shortstop Darrell Rhodes of White Hall, Cary Qualls, a senior left fielder from Woodlawn and designated hitter Mitchell Goldman, a senior from Pine Bluff.

In addition to Williams, the honor squad included Greg Culp, a freshman from Springdale; Lionell Moss, a senior from Helena; and Mike Gill, a senior from Dumas. Gill and Williams each won their indi- vidual events at the AIC championships in May. Gill took first place in the 400- meter hurdles with a personal-best time of 52.98 seconds. Williams won the shot put with a toss of 50-2 4, and finished second in the discus with a 165-2 % ef- fort. Clockwise from above: Moss shows his All- Conference form out of the starting blocks. Freshman Greg Culp takes a spill in the hurdles, but rebounded to earn All-AIC honors at the conference championship meet. Lionell Moss strains to hit the tape first.

Athletics 251 CHEERLEADERS @: =enuse aan One of the official duties of a cheerleader is to incite an already maddening crowd to a systematic recitation of words, which | include vocalization, utterings, and body gyrations. | The UAM cheerleaders had little trouble with participation this year. With the Boll Weevils taking the AIC championship, and both the Cotton Blossoms and the Mean Green having excellent seasons, students had something to yell about. A novel cheer appeared at UAM this year, unusual because it requires human beings to do their best at imitating the tiny Boll Weevil. This is done by holding one’s hands at the side of one’s head, using them to make biting or perhaps antenna-like move- ments, while uttering a bug-like EEEE! EEEE! in unison. While this cheer may not be the most sophisticated one devised, it certainly never fails to amuse anyone who witnesses it. | ae Above-Front: Shawn Courtney. Row 1: Kathy Rollins.

Except Sunday Hwy 81-4 Intersection Monticello, Arkansas rayurReny a ANF Ads-Index 271 We would like to thank the following for their help with the 1980 Boll Weevil: Teri Olive Kevin Brown Jim Brewer Kellye Divine Becky Flemister Sudlow Photography Advance Printing Co. Jim Edson Lonnie Stewart David Ray Robert Ellis I hope that you enjoy this book. A dedicated staff has worked to make it one that you will enjoy now, and will continue to enjoy in the future. I will not pretend that this yearbook has adequately covered the year at UAM, but do not apoligize for this shortcoming. Raymond Curry and I did the bulk of the photography in this book aided by Kellye Divine, Jim Brewer and Teri Olive, our advisor. With only two full time photographers to cover every event on campus, we were forced to omit some and could not give due credit to others. Perhaps student interest in the yearbook will increase next year and this problem will cease to exist. I must mention three students who have dedicated themselves to the production of outstanding student publications at UAM. Kevin Brown, who is editor of the UAM Campus Herald, is to me an unsung hero. This year, besides furnishing a lot of the copy for this book, he almost singlehandedly wrote your campus newspaper. | have worked with him for two years now and cannot imagine a more dedicated and impartial student editor. UAM will lose much when it loses Kevin. Nickie Owens deserves more credit than I can possibly give her here. She © is, without a doubt, the most important student contributor to this book. She is dependable and dedicated beyond my capabilities. If you enjoyed this book, she deserves and will appreciate your thanks. Last but not least I will relate the saga of Kellye Divine. She has edited or co-edited the UAM Boll Weevil for four years with a selfless effort that I will never understand. She graduated in December and was thus unable to pilot this book to its completion. Had she been able, I am sure she would have taken the thankless task for another year. Although Kellye has left UAM as a student, I must use what space | have here to give her at least part of the appreciation she has earned. This book will be a step down from last year’s and I don’t doubt that many years will pass before another editor meets the standards set by Kellye. Lastly, I thank Teri Olive, our advisor. She makes a job which could be sheer drudgery something to enjoy. It is hard to imagine a person better adapted to advise crazy kids on how to produce a good yearbook as Teri does. Teri is also leaving UAM this year, a great loss to UAM’s Student Publications Department. This book was not produced by paid professionals. It was produced by students like yourself. If you have any opinions on this book or wish to help produce next year’s, contact the Student Publications Office - we will be glad to hear from you. Steve Gough - Editor Another year, another book, and another plea for help from you the student body. I hope it is not made in vain. We need more staff members to produce a top quality yearbook and deliver it on time. I'd like to say I’ve enjoyed working with you, Steve. Thanks for your help through out the year. A very special thank you to Teri and Becky for all your help and dedication through a long hard year. I’d also like to thank Jim Brewer. Jim has put in a lot of time writing copy (all sports copy) and lent us a number of photographs. Thank you Kevin for your help with copy again this year.
