Now an associate professor of journalism he continues to direct the news bureau and is faculty advisor for the student newspaper, The Arka-Tech, and yearbook, Agricola. Edgar holds a bachelor’s degree from York (Nebraska) College. He received his master’s degree from the University of Kansas at Lawrence in 1950. Prior t o his employment by Tech, Edgar was a reporter for the Minneapolis Messenger from March, 1950 to September, 1957. He served three years as a fighter pilot for the U.S. Air Force in World War II. Edgar was chosen this year by the ATU Association to receive the Distinguished Service Award, the Universisty’s highest honor for a non-alumnus. A banquet was held to honor Edgar at Chambers Cafeteria. He was also honored during ATU’s Homecoming Weekend November 15 for his outstanding service to the University.

TM ncssinssisainiauiinice buabiibaciiinbeiclleetee: After 28 years of teaching students, advising the student newspaper and yearbook, taking most of the pictures for the annual, directing the news bureau, meeting deadlines and classes, Gerald Edgar is retiring from Arkansas Tech. According to Travis Adams, Vice President of Student Affairs, Edgar is usually the first per- son on campus in the morning and the last to one to leave. ‘‘It will take five peole to fill the job that Gerald Edgar has done for 28 years,’’ said Adams. Edgar is known for being in two places at one time. You may see him in Witherspoon one minute and then walk into the news bureau of- fice and he will be sitting at his desk. The students have always come first with Edgar. He goes to great lengths to help each and every one. Many of his former students had plen- ty of good things to say about Edgar. Roy Campbell, Director of Publicity at Yeshive University in New York City and former student of Edgar’s in the early 1970’s, said, ‘‘When I taught journalism classes, I found myself saying things that Gerald Edgar had once said in classes I had taken. I even found myself carrying my lecture notes in my coat pocket as he did. Today, as a publicist for a university, I find myself again thinking of Mr. Edgar as I look at the over-population of paper on my desk and talk about marketing articles to various newspapers. But the thing I remember most about Mr. Edgar was his patience.”’ The list of compliments on Edgar goes on. He had a huge impact on many of his students. For instance, Jimmie Dunn, a journalism teacher at Wickes, Arkansas and a 1968 graduate of Edgar’s, said, ‘‘I will never forget his bow ties or his smile. Without his help, I might not be here today. As far as I am concerned, a salute to Mr. Edgar is performed everytime I help a student, and perhaps that is the greatest salute of all--to pass on a man’s philosophy and work. I am proud to say he was my teacher. Thank- you Mr. Edgar--for everything.”’ Here’s what another student of Edgar’s had to say: ‘‘It has been 10 years since I graduated from Arkansas Tech and hardly a day goes by that I don’t think of him,’’ said Neal Pankey, com- munications teacher at White River Vocational- Technical School at Newport. ‘‘Mr. Edgar was the type of man who could be your advisor and also your friend. He always had time for his students and enjoyed the work he was doing. 1 have tried to be like Mr. Edgar and have found it very difficult. Not many people can find time to teach, be an advisor to the student newspaper and yearbook and handle public relations for the university. His retirement will leave-a void at ATU.”’ It’s easy to see that Gerald Edgar has been much more than a teacher. He has chosen to spend 28 years of his life dedicated to helping students better themselves and preparing them for what the world has in store. Gerald Edgar will definately be missed by all his students, past and present. Thanks Mr. ‘‘E.”’ Below: Mr. Edgar works hard to meet deadline.

John’s father Jim, mother Sammie, and younger brother Joe Don were among 153 per- sons taken hostage June 14 by Arab terrorists on a TWA flight fr om Athens to Rome. John’s family was returning from Saudi Arabia where Jim Palmer worked as a refrigeration and air conditioning engineer. Sammie and Joe Don were released June 15 along with other women and children by the hi- jackers of the TWA flight. Jim Palmer, however, was held captive for 12 days. He was released due to heart problems and high blood pressure. During the ordeal, John felt that the news media was a bit of a hinderence. ‘ The press did not really need to be at my doorstep everyday,’’ said John. ‘‘They could find out about as much as I could find out and many times they knew it before I did.’’ 14 He felt that his personal emotions were not im- portant enough for the news coverage that he was given. ‘‘What was important was that my dad wasa | hostage.’’ said John. He said that his father backed President Reagan on his decisions during the crisis. John feels that some retaliatory measures should be taken, but only when all the American kidnapped victims are home. ‘ We still have people over there,’’ said John. ‘‘No matter who they are, every American is important.’’ John said he has a deeper appreciation for his parents since the incident. ‘‘You don’t know how important your parents are until you have them taken away from you, ’ he said. His family is now home in Little Rock “‘get- ting back into the swing of America.’’ He said that his father would never go overseas to work again. important} was that my} dad was a| hostage. ”’ ADS NS s : a = SS a EUTHLETUN CAT 7 P | . - Systems Sci Building Major Step: Accreditation in Two Departments | The School of Systems Science was formerly ;cated in Dean Hall.

The new School of Business organization became effective in January and gave the Univer- sity five schools. The department of accounting and the depart- ment of business and economics were moved into the new school. They were formerly in the School of Systems Science. Departments remain- ing in the School of Systems Science are agriculture, computer science, engineering, mathematics, and recreation and park administration. | | | yf s Hig 7 — Pe t L2G Ws GOA MN himcg WroNco 5 6 [Ex TTIT TITIAN TTT td cE TT TTT TEN PE CTT TTT ee td TTT tT eh TTT TTT Set JIS RESP ee TTT Se cL ETT tty Pty Tf Registration Fall 85 ‘‘OH NO! Not that time again!’’ This is what many students say when the dreaded day of registration comes around twice a year, which is twice a year too many. First you have to get a permit to register before you can even get in the door of the student center. This entails going across campus and tracking down your advisor. After your schedule if filled out and signed, it’s time to go to the student center and have a run-in with the computers. Most of the time everything runs fairly smooth, but there is always some unlucky individual that the computer breaks down on, or the poor student that has waited in line for an hour just to find out that the class he has planned to take has just been filled. “Or H) RE Dit it What better way to show your support for the Wonder Boys than to have a community pep rally? Arkansas Tech and Russellville High held their second annual community pep rally at Peoples Bank on West Main. Many students from both schools participated. The cheerleaders from Tech and RHS cheered and the Rusellville drill team performed. Both bands were there playing their fight songs and supporting their team. The Greeks did their part by having a banner contest. The pep rallies were held for the purpose of bringing the community together. It was a great way to get students involved.

Laundry Day considered dreaded task for students In today’s fast-paced society, the demand by college students is no longer a good education, lifelong friendships, or even a hot meal. No, the demand is based on a small morsel of silver- coated nickel, finely embossed with the image of George Washington. Indeed, the demand is for--quarters. How else could we keep our clothes clean, fresh-smelling, and look! Static free! It’s not as if Laundry Day (as many students fondly refer to washing one’s clothing) were a chore anymore. None of that washboard and tub stuff for a student of the eighties. We travel in throngs to a laundrymat that is equipped with snack machines, video games, and--always a must--T.V., to perform this weekly, or for some bohemian types, bi-monthly ritual. It is definitely no job for the inexperienced. ? We’ve all heard horror stories about the girl who forgot to check her dryer and ended up with an entire new wardrobe for Barbie, P.J., and Fran- : cie. Or worse yet, the guy who washed all his underwear with that new cherry-red chamois shirt he got for Christmas. I must say, not a pret- ty picture. However, an attractive alternative to this en- tire situation is to just take the laundry home. Go for it. Give the cashiers in town a break.

UCA coach heads Tech staff Stephens [center] is joined by President Kersh [left] and Athletic Director Don Sevier at the press conference. _ Ken Stephens, former coach of the highly suc- cessful UCA Bears, was named head football coach at Arkansas Tech in December. The an- nouncement was made at a press conference at Tucker Coliseum Stephens, who was head football coach at Lamar University of the Southland Conference, resigned in November after posting a 3-8 season record. His overall record at Lamar was 11-33. “It’s good to be back in Arkansas. I’m glad to be back home. I’m looking forward to renew- ing old acquaintances with old coaching buddies in the AIC,”’ said Stephens, who had a 67-35-6 record in nine years at UCA [1972-81]. He led the Bears to three outright and one co- championship of the AIC title. Stephens didn’t feel he had failed at Lamar. “T feel like I just ran out of time.’’ ‘My reason for being here is that I’m taking this as a personal challenge to make Arkansas Tech as good as the best in the AIC. Tech has a rich athletic tradition, one of the best through the years.”’ Stephens said recruiting will be the key to tur- ning the Tech program around. ‘“‘It’s the most important thing. We will try to develop a good locl basis. We will recruit as close to home as possible.’ “T’m definitely an offensive coach. I won’t spend a lot of time with the defense. I'll be call- ing the offensive plays [during the games]. I’ve always done that. I won’t change now. Stephens commented about the rigorous Tech schedule. ‘‘The first thing in a season is schedul- ing. You have to get teams you can beat. We have three teams [besides conference play] that we have contracts with. I’m not saying that they are too tough, but that we will have to upgrade our own program.”’ Athletic Director Don Sevier said he had known Stephens for a long time and that he met all the requirements for the coaching Tech was looking for. ‘“We wanted someone who was well known in Arkansas and who knew the high school coaches and a man who had ideals. We had a number of quality applicants. We feel like Stephens is the best coach we would have hired and we’re extremely happy to have him at Arkansas Tech.’’ said Sevier. The Wonder Boys haven’t won or shared an AIC title since 1971 and have had only three win- ning seasons since then. Under Stephens, UCA made four trips to the NAIA playoffs, reaching the championship game against national powerhouse Texas A I in 1976. : Prior to his going to UCA, Stephens was a highly successful high school coach at North Lit- tle Rock Ole Main. His Wildcats won three state titles and produced a 66-25-3 record. Stephens also worked as an assistant coach at the University of Arkansas for a year before returning to UCA where he was a two-sport star in football and track in the early 1950’s. Stephens spoke of the competitiveness of the AIC. ‘‘Overall I think the AIC is much better than it was three of four years ago. The athletes are bigger and stronger. The prestige of the league has improved so much. More and more kids are staying in the state and playing in the AIC. It’s a much more worthwhile situation for them.”’ The lights on the Christmas tree blinked on and off as the men of Lambda Chi Alpha and the women of Massie Dorm buzzed around prepar- ing for the arrival of the children. Cookies were made and presents were wrapped. Christmas carols were played in the background as the children of the Friendship School arrived for this annual event held in Massie Dorm. The party was the Lambda Chi Alpha Frater- nities community service project with the Friend- ship School. Lambda Chi Alpha member, John Baker said, ‘We don’t consider it a project,’’ and added, “‘It is something really special to us which represents the true meaning of Christmas.’’ Holiday spirit filled the air as the kids roamed the lobby. The older ones were making friends and the younger children headed straight for the Christmas tree to see the blinking lights, shiny balls and, most of all, the brightly wrapped gifts under the tree. The noise lifted and the children began to cheer as the man donned in his red outfit, shiny boots and long glowing white beard made his ap- pearance. They each had their turn at telling San- ta Claus their Christmas wishes, while his helpers handed out gifts to each and every child. The gifts ranged from toy trucks to headphone radios. After they had finished their cookies an punch it was time to go, and few were read leave. The goodbyes were said and man and thanks were given. The sparkl children’s eyes and their happy exprest enough thanks for any of these Agk students. ‘““Lambda Chi Alpha and . sidered it a great pleasure 4 are already looking fo Baker.

Penney’s Wouldn’t it be great if students could just sponge off their parents through four years of college? Sure, it sounds appealing, but for many students it’s simply not that easy. Students have to find some way to pay not only for tuition, room, and board, but also for truly essential things such as clothing, gas, numerous club dues, and eating out [a must if you live on campus-- forget the cafeteria!]. The first thing to do if you find yourself with a shortage of cash is to convince your parents that your books cost $2,000 per semester, in ad- dition to all those expensive supplies required for your literature class. If they fall for this, con- gratulations. You definitely have it made. But, what do you do if your parents aren’t the fools that you’ve taken them for all these year? You are clearly in a bind. And there is nothing left to do but find a job. Now, this isn’t as bad as it sounds. If you can swing it, go for a job that doesn’t require much effort. For students living on campus without a car, a desk worker job is ideal. You can sit around watching TV and and doing homework- -perhaps have a pizza delivered--while getting the added benefit of finding out who’s seeing whom, when, and for how long.: Comparable to working the dorm desk is be- ing a desk clerk at a local motel. The same basic rules apply as the TV, homework, and pizza, but you get to find out who’s seeing whom from all over Russellville and the surrounding area. Now, admit it, all that’s not bad for $3.35 an hour. If you find that all these positions are filled, try your luck at a job in a clothing store. Straightening clothes and putting together out- fits can’t be too demanding, and don’t forget that hefty employee discount. A radio station could also be a fun place to work. You get to play with staplers, copying machines, and lots of sophisticated equipment. Plus, the most attrac- tive aspect--phone us is mandatory. Another not-too-dreadful place of employment is a bank. The hours are great, and after all, the whole reason you’ re taking a job is that you need cash. And banks have it. Cold and hard. Maybe you ’ve noticed that I haven’t mention- ed the most prevalent type of job among college students--jobs that require a uniform. This type of job should be avoided at all costs. It is simply too much trouble. The schedules at these places are often so erratic that you will inevitab!y wind up having to wear you Polyester to class, or be obliged to change clothes in the car while driv- ing. And we all know just how painful that can be. So, if there is anything at all you can do to pre- vent yourself from experiencing the horrors of a job during college, DO IT. Why risk losing out on an active, demanding social life by work- ing if you can laze around for four years? It just doesn’t get much better than that. 31 GET DOWN ON IT Tech-sters Come Back To Party The Spring Semester Back to School Dane held in Tucker Coliseum on January 15 had different twist than dances from previoii semesters.

The $1.2 billion dollar spacecraft appeared to be destroyed. It was the first in-air disaster in the 56 U.S. man-in-space missions, although three astronauts were killed in a 1967 launch pad explosion dur- ing the Apollo program. After a series of weather and technical delays, the shuttle rose spectacularly off the launch pad at 11:38 a.m. EST and was climbing smoothly trailing a 700-geyser of fire when suddenly it erupted in a huge fireball and shot out of control. A voice at Mission Control said, ‘‘ Vehicle has exploded...We are awaiting word from any recovery forces downrange.”’ The explosion was a devastating setback for Probable cause... Solid-Fuel Booster Rocket (Shown off the the National Aeronautics and Space Administra- tion after successfully carrying out 24 space shut- tle missions in slightly less than five years. The seven crew members aboard included Mrs. McAuliffe, a 37-year-old New Hampshire teacher selected as America’s first U.S. citizen in space. The other crew members aboard were com- mander Francis R. Scobee, 46; pilot Michael J. Smith, 40; Judith Resnik, 36; Ronald E. McNair, 35; Ellison S. Onizuka, 39; and Gregory B. Jar- vis, 41. The shocking spectacle of the explosion was seen by millions of people around the country who were watching the launch on television. All 1,200 students at Mrs. McAuliffe’s Con- cord High School were cheering the television launch when a teacher yelled for them to be silent because something appeared to be wrong. As it became clear that there was an explosion, stunned students murmured, ‘‘This can’t be real...We can’t be watching this.”’ Students, who were gathered in the auditorium, were ordered back to their rooms. Many of the youths went reluctantly, protesting that they wanted to be allowed to continue watching. Mission Control reported that there was no in- dication of any problem with the engines, the solid boosters or any other system and that the: shuttle just suddenly blew apart. There was total shock and disbelief among workers at the shuttle assembly building as they watched Challenger break up in a ball of fire and white and orange smoke. “I can’t believe it,’’ said a young woman, almost crying, as she stood among coworkers | outside the building. “‘I can’t see the orbiter--w hat happened to the: orbiter,’’ said a young technician. | ! external tank) Leak may have occurred at the third seam | triggering one of the explosive ‘DESTRUCT” | packages on the Shuttle’s huge External Liquid-fuel Tank iN an ee Nh a “ | ; : : : You won’t have died in vain...

With the increase in room and board and the desire to live off-campus many Tech students are packing-up and moving into apartments. According to Jeff Phillips, director of hous- ing, many Tech students living off-campus are not of age. ‘‘We have various ways of finding out where a student is staying,’’ said Phillips. ‘It is quite obvious if a student lives in Fort Smith and says he is driving down here five days a week that there is something wrong.”’ Phillips said it is easy for a student to live off- campus if he doesn’t mind lying. He said that students sign a statement when they register say- ing they are in compliance with the policy. ‘‘They acknowledge this, but lie anyway,”’ said Phillips. ‘‘What really bothers me is that some parents don’t care to lie...that really bothers meus Phillips said that he has called parents in the past knowing that ‘‘Junior’’ is living in Lakewood and asked if their child is really com- muting from Little Rock everyday and they will say, ““That’s right!’’ According to Phillips, many students have been caught in violation of this campus policy. He said that students are given the choice to move back on-campus or withdraw from school. ‘‘In some cases, scholarships have been taken away,””’ said Phillips. “‘If the student is caught in the middle of the semester, he will have to pay the on-campus tuition for the entire semester.”’ (Clockwise from top) Leasha Creel and Michael Shannon watch television in the lobby of Jones Hall. Michelle Charboneau, Teri Feemester, Teresa Clinton, Laurie Russell, and Krystn Cosby hang out a Roush Hall window. Laura McKay, Page Burris, Cindy Cochran, and Stephanie Blackard lounge around at Roush. Steven Young works the visitation desk at Paine Hall. Phillips said that there needs to be some positive way to get students to move on-campus. “‘I think one of the reasons students don’t want to live on-campus is the fact that they can get away with more by living downtown,”’’ said Phillips. ‘‘Arkansas Tech is not going to say, Ya’ll come back and we will let you do what you want.”’ He feels another reason students would rather live off campus is because on-campus students have to buy a meal ticket. ““The situation we have now is a students can’t live on-campus without buying a meal ticket,’’ said Phillips. “Companies bid on our food prices and if the company can be guaranteed a certain number of students, then the students will get a much better price.”’ Phillips said that at the present time, the stu- dent pays $3.97 a day for three meals. ‘‘I can’t understand why students with a meal ticket don’t eat in the cafeteria. Cafeteria food is one of those topics that everyone complains about and it’s not that bad,’’ said Phillips. Some students argue that it is cheaper to live off-campus. Phillips said, “‘In some cases, a stu- dent could live off-campus cheaper. If four students live in the same apartment and all pay the rent and don’t eat on a regular basis, it will be cheaper.”’ He said that dorm occupancy always drops bet- ween the fall and spring semester. ‘‘A lot of the young troop crash and burn their first semester.”’ He said that there is always a decrease in freshman because they have a hard time adjusting. Phillips said, ‘‘If we had 100 percent dorm oc- cupancy then the room and board would not increase.” Phillips said that each time an on-campus stu- dent hears another student bragging about liv- ing off-campus and violating campus policy, he should be personnally offended because it tends to make the on-campus people pay more for room and board. ‘“The lower the dorm occupan- cy is, the higher the room and board will have to be to cover cost.”’ a7, Outside, the birds are singing; the breeze is lightly blowing. The smell of grass and fresh flowers pervade the air. Inside, pencils are tap- ping, students are squirming, and the only iden- tifiable odor is that of chalk dust, which is visi- ble floating through sunbeams from the small classroom windows. Restless students glance at their watches--only four more minutes--as they try to figure out a way to get out of class the rest of the week, such as the sudden, unexplained deaths of several members of their family. It is once again Springtime at Arkansas Tech. The foliage is in full bloom, and so is the cam- pus. Students, seven per car, cruise with the T- tops out and the convertible tops down, radios blasting the Beach Boys or Go-Go’s. The uniform is sunglasses, no socks, and at least one article of Hawaiian print clothing. Students hang out in multitudes at the Student Center, yelling obscenities at passers-by, while other, more skin- cancer conscious kids lie in the yards of their dor- mitories soaking up gamma rays. When students tire of lying out at the dorm, there is always the lake. They set up elaborate palettes of quilts and towels to lie on, then thoroughly grease themselves down to obtain that Savage tan that one can only get from the wild Arkansas tropics. Local merchants report that sales of ‘‘Sun-In’’ hair lightener and ‘Hawaiian Tropic’’ tanning oil have increased, and a recent survey of ATU faculty revealed that an overwhelming number of students are using the fact that their class lies smack in middle of the PTH [Peak Tanning Hours] as an excuse for being absent. Most teachers said that this is not an acceptable reason. They further reported that absence of students due to deaths of elderly family members is at an all time high.

That purpose, according to llversity President Dr. Kenneth Kersh, is what ll make the citizenry of our state and country Wong. Sersh plays an important role in putting this | al into action. His job is basically one of coor- | tation. He must coordinate the wishes of the te legislature, the Board of Higher Education, ; ‘ Board of Trustees, the administration, facul- . } students, the community, and the taxpayers. }: must also keep the University’s programm- ‘ up-to-date with national trends, and make }tain not to exceed the budget. Or. Kersh works very closely with the gover- Ir, the state legislature, and the Board of Higher ucation; it must meet with their approval in ; | der for the school to have a new program. } ‘We have a new program,”’ he said. ‘‘That | 0 make a separate school of business and they ve to pass that.”’ | resident Kersh also works with the communi- and feels it is imperative that they maintain kod relations. ‘‘They have been very good to sin the 13 years that I’ve been here. If we ever to get money from the community, we have to show to them, and re-show, and re-prove that we have quality in our programs. If we don’t keep good relations,’’ he adds, ‘‘then we’ll have problems with the police department, the fire department, and the Chamber of Commerce. We've really got to have a good working relationship.”’ Not only is President Kersh largely responsi- ble for Tech’s local community relations, he also believes it is important that the rest of the state have confidence in what is happening here. “ They pay me,”’ he says. “‘It is very impor- tant that we convince the governor that we’re do- ing a good job because I have to ask him for things like new buildings.”’ To Kersh, education is an essential element not only in the growth of our state and country, but in the personal growth of the students as well. ‘‘Education,”’ says Kersh, ‘“‘has a civilizing ef- fect. It will make you a better mother, a better neighbor, a better citizen of the world.’’ He believes that a good education prepares people to tolerate others and to think more in terms of helping others than helping themselves. ‘ There is really something to a person who is willing to pay the price, and to sacrifice and go without for four years.’’ Going to school is Kersh says education streng thens America indeed a sacrifice, for both students and parents, _ however, the rewards reaped in the years to come are well worth it.”’ “The students’ benefits may not be entirely monetary,’ Kersh says, ‘‘but I can predict that they’ll have a fuller life and their associations are going to be a lot more refined.”’ armenia ahh (s ne ee pene ae NEE A 5 Member Bo ard The Board of Trustees tour the Human Development Lab to look at new equipment.

EE ee TS Cook Locates Funds “‘I would hope most students are here to take the best advantage of education opportunities for themselves,’’ said Dr. Olin Cook, executive vice president, answering the question on the theme ““‘Why We’re Here.’’ In the administration office, Dr. Cook works hard to ensure the University by trying to assist faculty and staff, locate outside funds to improve programs, and to provide information through studies to the administration and faculty that can be used to improve all aspects of Arkansas Tech. Getting an education is good, but the funds needed for the programs must come from somewhere. Cook, as executive vice president, must find funds to finance the programs. He does this through institution research, state and legislative relations, and grant writing, and stimulation. Students go to school at Tech for many dif- ferent reasons. Dr. Cook started working here because of his dedication to higher education, to Arkansas Tech, and the kind of institution that Tech is.”’ Dr. Cook believes everyone has the right to a good educaiton. ‘‘I believe all people have the right to an education and that the university has the responsibility to probide the best education possible,’’ said Cook. ‘‘Those who do not take the advantage should look for other avenues to propare themselves for a full life.’’ Na TS aR ET V-P Travis Adams takes pride in Tech through dedication There are 3,377 reasons why Travis Adams, vice president of student affairs, dedicates himself to Tech life. There are a lot of reasons and a lot of people, but people are his job, and that’s exactly what he wants to do. Adams knew higher education was his thing even before his undergraduate days here at ATU. Most students don’t sit down daily and reflect of the value of the office of Student Affairs, but there wouldn’t be anything to do if Adam’s of- fice didn’t exist. Adams and his staff work behind the scenes to generate the social at- mosphere with extracuricular activities to get everyone involved. His job may begin with entertainment, but Adams has something bigger and much more important in mind. ‘‘We are pro- viding experiences for the students to become better rounded people who will work well with others in whatever they do after graduation.’’ He added that his office handles all the miscellaneous duties that have to be performed in a well-run institution. Student Affairs handles the fringe benefits, so the students can concen- trate on what they are here for. Among the things they are here for, Adams says, is here to develop better priorities and philosophies and to learn to use the library. Adams’ philosophy on education is part of the heart of Tech: ‘‘Education is the means by which we improve the quality of life, and education is best when it is the combination of theoretical and practical approaches.’’ Vice President Adams’ heart is with the peo- ple of Tech. ‘‘Why am I here?’’ He says, ‘‘To see what we can do for students--we give them the opportunity to become educated citizens as well as help them mature as they recognize respect for themselves and others throughout life.”’ The Office of Academic Affairs covers a broad range of duties on campus. It is in charge of the allocation of Tech’s resources and equipment, improvement of instruction and academic pro- grams as well as their organizational structure. At the head of this essential d -partment is Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Jim Ed McGee. He says that ‘‘after going through the college experience, it was only natural,’’ for him to enter the field of education. Since his position enables him to work closely with both colleagues and young people, Dr. McGee finds it a rewarding, yet demanding c areer. Dr. McGee is responsi- Pteees ANY Ctr ey Cte APRANSRS TECH Uneven rey McGee heads essential Department of Academic Affairs | ble fdr the organization and coordination of faculty affairs, courses of study, staff and equipment--including the library. Dr. McGee first received his bachelor of science degree at Arkansas Tech, and he main- tains that the school is still much the same. He believes that the current students’ values are very similar to those of yesteryear, and he is very pleased with their attitude as a whole. He thinks that the students recognize the need to work for a goal and, on the most part, are well prepared. ““We have many good students here,’’ he com- mented. ‘‘I believe the students are at Arkansas Tech because of a basic drive to achieve, and education is a widely recognized step toward: achievement. I think most of the students enjoy learning, even though some don’t admit it.”” | As for Dr. McGee’s personal thought o1 education, he comments, ‘‘Education is an in. tegral part of life. It is a continuing aspect of life, I do not like to hear someone say to a student ‘when you get out of here, you’re going to havi to be ready for the real world.’ School is the rea world. We are always learning.’’ V-P Stallings recruits, Administers $ aid Dr. Dix Stallings, vice president of public af- fairs has been at Arkansas Tech University for 11 years. His job is to help administer an overall recruiting program which includes raising addi- tional funds so that more deserving students can recieve scholarships. Dr. Stallings works main- ly with incoming students. He visits schools and recruits high school students. Upon visiting schools, he encourages high school students to attend ATU and instructs them on college classes, activities and discusses financial aid. ““Most students comt to Tech because the ATU ais warm, friendly with wonderful students and faculty,’’ said Stallings answering the question on the theme ‘‘Why We’re Here.”’ Dr. Stallings feels that the students’ attitudes toward the University are ‘‘exceptional.’’ ‘“The student body,’’ he said, ‘‘has an excellent attitude.” His philosophy on education is ‘‘biased.’’ He stated that education is the salvation to America as we would like to see it remain, which is tolerance and free thinking. Jones returns ‘home’ Makes his contribution Coming home again was the feeling Royce D. Jones had when he accepted a job here at his Alma Mater as head of the accounting depart- ment in 1973. After receiving his B.S. degree at Tech Jones, went on to complete his education at East Texas State University. Jones felt Arkansas Tech was the school for him because of the small col- lege atmosphere and the quality program Tech offered. He thinks those are the same reasons students choose to come here to this day. In January of 1984, Mr. Jones accepted the position of vice president of administration of finance. This position covers a broad area in- cluding the budgeting and purchasing as well as the bookstore and cafeteria. First on his list of priorities is to look after the financial welfare of this institution. As a teacher Jones says, “‘Education is design- ed to better the world and to allow the person to contribute to the bettering of this world, and to be happy doing it.’’ He believes a good education is broad and general, including a firm foundation in the math, science, and social sciences departments. Jones says, ‘“The broader perspective the stu- dent achieves the better he can contribute to the world.”’ 51 renee | | | | Dr. Earl Schrock, dean of Liberal and Fine Arts, feels a special closeness to Arkansas Tech because it is his alma mater. ‘‘It is a university that I think is strong academically and that I like to be identified with,’’ said Schrock. Dr. Schrock is responsible for six departments and during a day works with several different people. He works with department heads on course changes, hiring additional faculty, and student complaints. He is often called upon to locate faculty members to work with the state or community on projects. Schrock believes that students are attracted to Arkansas Tech because ‘‘it’s a university that serves the area’’ and also because the programs here are strong, in both the technical field and the arts and humanities. ‘‘The main thing I’m concerned with is regardless of what a student studies, that he get a well-rounded arts and humanities background.’’ Schrock also feels that students need to know something of the history of the state, the nation, and the world. ‘‘The student needs to learn good communtication skills, art and music of the culture he’s a part of.”’ Hamm enjoys learning Helps others to learn Dr. Jack Hamm became dean of the Schoo of Systems Science in the summer of 1982. His job entails working with students, facult and administration to ensure that Tech’: academic programs are of high quality and mee the needs of the students. “‘T enjoy being a part of our higher educatioi system,’’ said Hamm. ‘“‘I enjoy learning an helping others to learn.’’ 52 Hamm feels that students should be seriou about making the most of their opportunity to grow, achieve academically and receive the benefits of higher education. Hamm said the School of Systems Science strives to achieve high quality programs in all departments. ‘“We work constantly to try to provide ex- cellent classroom and laboratory instruction,’’ he said. ‘‘We also try to provide the best equip- ment and facilities for student use.’’ Deans strive toward quality education Schrock identifies with Alma Mater Fleniken says student: should take advantage o: what’s available Dr. Dennis Fleniken, dean of the School o Education, says he thinks students attend thi School of Education at Arkansas Tech to taki advantage of its accessibility, the programs of. fered at Tech, and the school’s reputation fo, preparing students for teaching. To insure that students receive the best educa tion education possible, the school has a con tinual review of its courses and programs throug! student input, data from practitioners, survey of graduates, and evaluations by employers. Dr. Fleniken’s job consists of maintainin) quality at the school along with budgetar responsibilities. He also serves as a certifyin) officer and an academic advisor. | Dr. Fleniken says, ‘‘Students have a prett good attitude at Tech, but they need to be mor serious about their education and take mor responsibility for their graduatio) requirements.’’ His personal philosophy on education is the the right conditions, programs, resources and of portunities should be provided by the school, bu it’s up to the students to take advantage of what’ available to them. CC Bowman attracted {to environment | The small college attitude and environment are ) what Dr. Leo H. Bowman found attractive about ) Arkansas Tech in 1978. Bowman is the dean of the School of Physical and Life Sciences as well as a professor of chemistry. _ After graduating from Ottawa University in (Kansas, he went on to obtain his doctorate from Michigan State University. Dr. Bowman feels students attend college to jiget a better job. He believes they come to Tech ‘because of the personality of the campus. | He says, ‘‘It’s a friendly middle-class college, ‘a lot like the hometown they have left.”’ He wishes for a more diversified student body, ‘ One that is not so provincial.’’ Bowman would like to see more out-of-state students attend Tech. Being part of the middle management, Dr. | ‘Bowman devotes two-thirds of his time to ad- 4 )ministration. Besides caring for the needs of the } faculty, he helps meet the needs of the students. When speaking of the students at Tech he says, “I'd like to see them all eager to learn. That’s the bottom line. I believe education is the most | important thing in th e world right now because | ignorance breeds all kinds of problems.”’ ;ackees ee Headed by Johnson: graduate program, continuing education Dr. Donald Johnson is the dean of Continu- ing Education and Graduate Studies. He is a native of Arkansas and began work at Tech in 1978. Besides his work with the graduate program, Dr. Johnson choreographs summer and night school programs with individuals being able to take courses in the latter program for credit or non-credit. As dean of the graduate program, he has revamped the graduate curriculum, replac- ing those courses which are no longer applicable and replacing them with courses suggested by research studies in higher education. In Dr. Johnson’s opinion, students attend Tech because it is ‘‘a small university’ which allows - students to become better acquainted with each other. He added that most of the students atten- ding Tech are from the surrounding counties. Dr. Johnson encourages students to improve on their education because it will help them career wise and to be better adults. ‘‘Be a go-getter,’’ he said, ‘‘and try to see past today.”’ Clayton, Fred Director of Personnel Collins, Bill Student Accounts Officer Cornett, Harold Director of Admissions and School Relations Edgar, Gerald Director of News Bureau Associate Professor, Journalism Ferguson, Jimmy’ Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs Gifford, Roberta Associate Dean of Students Goines, Shirley Director of Financial Aid Hamilton, Johnny C. - Controller Howell, Ed Bookstore Manager Jackson, Neil Director of Career Planning and Placement Jetton, Betty Accountant Malik, James Director of Military Science Professor of Military Science Administrative Staff... ...Middle Management Mann, Ray Director of Education Media Services Mullens, Sharon Director of Alumni Relations Presley, Jack M.

The 26 victories were the most that a Tech baseball team had won—although they have shared two AIC championships and two District 17 chamionships in the past five years. They won the AIC championship with a 16-4 record, losing to Henderson State twice and once each to Ouachita and Southern Arkansas. The season record was 26-16. The squad had a precarious start this season, standing at 6-4 in the league before winning 10 conference games in a row including a no-hitter pitched by Jimmy Mullen against UCA. Mullen along with catcher Dale Harpenau, first baseman Nicky Bonds, and pitcher Jimmy Franklin made the All-AIC team. Secorid baseman Mike Bartlett, Harpenau, Bonds, and Franklin were selected for the All-NAIJA District 17 team. Coach Jim Franks was voted both the AIC and NAIA District 17 Coach-of-the-Year. Franklin was drafted and signed by the Kan- sas City Royals at the end of the season. Also Franklin along with seniors Bartlett, Harpenau, Bonds, Mullen, and Tom Konz played with the victorious North team in the AIC All-Star game. Tech players who batted more than .300 were Allen Carmack, Harpenau, Bartlett, Bonds and Greg Thomas. Bonds let the group with a .373 average in 150 times at bat. Six of his 56 hits went for home runs. Harpenau had seven homers in 39 hits and Bartlett had six home runs out of 40 hits.

Hardin was named to the All-AIC golf team and also won All-District 17 honors. The NAIA District 17 golf tournament was held at Cortex Country Club in Hot Springs. Most of the local team members practice on the Dardanelle Country Club Golf Course. Members of the 1985 Tech team were Kevin Gattis, Brent Garrett, Sam Hardin, Robert O’Bar, Gerald Ware, Butch Carr, and Lance Talkington. [Top] The 1985 Golf team.

AIC and District 17 tennis champions Tech’s tennis team had its best showing ever last spring, finishing the year with a 12-10 record and a No. 19 ranking in the NAIA. Along the way, the tennis team won Tech con- ference and their first ever district title, outdistan- cing Harding and Southern Arkansas Universi- ty for the honor. “‘We had the district won before we had to play doubles,’’ said head coach Neil White. ““Because we had four singles winners.’’ Winning in their divisions at the district tour- nament were John Smith at No. 2, Steven Bekley at No. 3, Dirk Saunders at No. 5, and Miracio Miranda at No. 6. The duo of Mark Harsdorf and Mith won the No. 2 doubles. Tech lost several 5-4 decisions to NCAA schools in ’84. Oral Roberts, Tulsa University, and Lousianna Tech all manages to avoid being upset by the young Tech team. ‘ That’s something we’ll be better at this year,’’ said White, referring to Tech’s srecord in close matches. ‘‘Our top three players were freshmen, who a month earlier had just come half-way across the world and were playing big, NCAA teams for the first time. Our top five guys were freshmen or sophomores, but everybody is a year older and a year better now.”’ This season looks even brighter for Tech, as [Top] John Smith returns a drive at the net. The AIC and District 17 Champions with their trophies. the team lost only one starter, Miranda, from last season’s team. Tech also recruited three young talents in Russellville freshman Tim Carter, Charles Rosenbaum of North Little Rock, and Scott Linkford from Springfield, MA, to replace Miranda. PELE ilies Ui ih Z ee White said SAU would be the team to beat this season, with Tech and Harding close behind. Tech entered the ’85 season with a No. 15 rank- ing, Smith received a No. 19 national ranking in singles, and teammate John Owen received a No. 34 ranking. Need sharp eyes for Rifle Team A sharp eye is all that is needed to join the Tech Rifle Team which is sponsored by the Military Science Department. Although the team is supervised by the ROTC personnel, team members do not have to be enrolled in ROTC classes in order to participate. Membership on the team is open to all fulltime students. Tech, the University of Central Arkansas, Arkansas State University, Henderson State University, Ouachita Baptist University, Southern Arkansas University, the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff are members of the league. Each team fires 15 matches each session. During the past season, Tech’s team won 12 matches which gave them third place in the number of matches won and second place in total points. : The freshman team placed second in the league also. Brett Graves was the top freshman marksman in the league. Other members of the team include Patti McClain, Greg Cloud, Rex Knight, Todd Ferguson, and William Spinks. MSG George Scott is the team’s coach and Capt. Larry Yarbrough is the team’s advisor. [Top] The Rifle Team and their trophies. [Center] Bret Graves and Patti McClain look over their targets.

First place winners for Tech were Monte Hamilton, 16-0% vault in the pole vault; Clint Daniels, 14:51.82 in the 5,000 meter run; and Randy Campbell, 52 feet in the shotput. Campbell was also second in the discus with a throw of 153-2 and Jimmy Elmore was se- cond in the pole vault, with a jump of 15-64%.

A pulled hamstring muscle sustained by sprinter Bruce Livingston in the 400 meter sprint relay may have prevented the Wonder Boys from winning the championship. Tech was leading at the time and Livingston was forced to limp most of the leg, finishing sixth. The Wonder Boys also finished sixth in the 1600 meter relay.

Everybody’s sports program ...intramurals Intramurals, a sports program in which in- dividuals may participate but a program in which they do not have to spend the time that varsity sports require. Students may participate in flag football, basketball, volleyball, and racquetball during the school year. Directors for the programs are Don Dempsey and Martha Dowell, members of the physical education department. Both directors said the intramural program provides social contact for the participants, helps in physical fitness, teaches sportsman- ship, provides recreation, and allows in- dividuals to develop or exhibit their skills in a particular sport. Both independent and Greek teams par- ticipate in the program. Participarits in the sports range from 300 or more in basketball to as few as 36 in rac- quetball. an hint Loni ne (Opposite top) Flag football is almost as rough as the varsity games.

Complete 1—9 season Season ends with a 34—0 victory over UAPB A disastrous 1-9 football season for the Wonder Boys ended with the team’s only vic- tory, a 43-0 ‘‘romp’’ over the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, and the resignation of Head Football Coach Harold Steelman. Only one other season has been worse in the University’s history, a 1-10 record in 1976. Tech did have a 1-9 record also in 1974. “ My only regret is that I was not able to lead the young men around me and the foot- ball program back to the heights that it once enjoyed and rightly deserves to enjoy again.”’ Coach Steelman wrote in his letter of resigna- tion. ‘‘Carolyn and I will always remember our years at ATU and will always follow the Green and Gold.’’ = Tech’s games this year under Coach Steelman were close initially. However, the Wonder Boys could not play a consistent game--they were leading in two games at the half which they lost and were not more than one touchdown behind in four of the other games that were lost. However, the team did play a tough schedule including three NAIA nationally ranked non-conference teams and four AIC teams which were ranked, including this year’s eventual co-champion in the NAIA, the University of Central Arkansas, and a national semi-finalist, Henderson State University. Along with that inconsistency and very tough nationally rated schedule, the Wonder Boys seemed to be unable to hold on to the m roapignenstest TE Rp nan REELS OL ball, fumbling 35 times and losing the ball 17 times. They also had 16 passes intercepted. Even with the losing season, the Wonder Boys placed two men on the AIlI-AIC first | team--lineman John Palmer and back Bruce Livingston. Honorable mention in the AIC also went to | defensive lineman Cleo Barry, quarterback Jon Calvin, wide receiver Bobby Crockett, | defensive back Curtis Green, offensive lineman Jeff Kinkel, linebacker Steve Scallon, and fullback Ben Smith. Tech’s Smith was fifth in both scoring and | rushing in the AIC. He averaged 4.4 yards a carry in 147 rushes and scored eight touchdowns along with two extra points. Livingston was ranked third in pass in- terception in the league. He picked off eight passes for the Wonder Boys. Other AIC leaders on the Tech team were Pat Hughes who was ranked fourth in kickoff returns. He returned 14 kicks for 344 yards or an average of 24.6 yards a carry. He was also third on the Tech squad in yards rushing with an average of 3.6 yards in 87 attempts. Quarterback Doug Greenlee was ranked eighth in the AIC in passing, completing 53 out of 135 passes for 729 yards. He had 13 of his passes intercepted, but three were com- pleted for touchdowns. As a team, the Tech squad ranked last in total offense with an average of only 248 yards a game. They ranked sixth in the AIC in defense, allowing opponents an average of 338 yards a game.

A 43-7 record, including a 13-1 record against AIC opponents, enabled the Golden Suns to again gain national recognition. The 13th place finish in the NAIA Naitonal Poll marked the third straight year for the Suns to be listed in the ‘‘Top 20’’ teams. The Suns finished 9th in the 1984 season and 10th in the 1983 season. ‘ Playing tough competition is what makes us better,’’ Coach Jim Dickerson said. ‘‘T his can be affirmed by looking at the number of opponents the Suns played who either were in the ‘Top 20’ or received voies.”’ As far as competition goes, 1985 was the toughest year ever for the Suns, according to Dickerson. However, he thinks the Suns thrive on hard work and competition. Leading the Suns this year were three All- AIC players--Kim Hodge, Tera Treadway, and Donna Brunson. Hodge, a four-year All-Conference and All- Distrist 17 choice, led the team in serving, serve receptions, and kill percentage. Treadway and Brunson, both excellent hit- ters, provided strength as middle blockers. ATU’s other accomplishments were winn- ing the Christian Brothers College Invitational Tournament and the Quachita Baptist Univer- sity Invitational Tournament. A big disappointment this year was not be- ing able to repeat as NAIA District 17 cham- pions. A much improved Southern Arkansas University team, the only AIC team to defeat the Suns in three years, rallied to defeat Tech v v in the semi-final play, 8-15, 15-10, 15-12, and 16-14. “ It was too bad the season had to end on such a sour note,’’ Dickerson said. ‘‘But another good recruiting year and hard work in the off-season should have the Suns back in great shape for the 1986 year.”’ v ey [Opposite top] The 1985-86 Volleyball squad.

The loss to the Golden Lions also probably cost the Wonder Boys a chance to play in the NAIA District 17 tournament. Tech ended up in ninth place in the AIC with the top eight teams playing in the District tournament. Tech finished the season with a 6-14 record in the AIC and a 9-17 record overall. UCA won the league with a 17-3 record. However, UAM represented the league in the NAIA playoffs, finishing second nationally. This season was a ‘‘letdown’’ from the Cinderella finish as league champs last year, but a young team and injuries led to the poorer finish. Senior Luther Gilyard left the team at the semester break as did sophomore Ronnie Mitchell. Senior Victor Joynef also missed seven games due to an injury late in the season and sophomore Jeff Anderson missed six games. Anderson averaged 10.6 points and 4.3 rebounds a game. Joyner had an 8.6 point a game average and also a 4.3 rebound average. Leading the Wonder boys in scoring was Tommy Johnson with a 13.5 average followed by Al Hert with 13. David Ross followed Anderson and Joyner with a 7.5 average. Johnson was Tech’s leading rebounder with an average of six per game while Ross, Joyner, Anderson, and Hert averaged between 4.0 and 4.3 per game. When the season began, Coach Widner warned that he had a young team and that it would be unfair to expect a conference championship, and he believed shooting might be a weakness. The Wonder Boys averaged 47.6 percent from the field but allowed their opponents to convert on 48.5 percent. From the free throw line, i Tech made 67.5 percent of their attempts to 67.9 for their opponents. Throughout the season the Wonder Boys seemed to be either hot or cold--usually it seemed for one-half of each game. But there is always next year to look forward to with a strong letter- man nucleus, good squadmen, and new recruits. i (Opposite left) Coach John Widner looks for help.

They finished regular season play with a 17-1 league record and a 22-2 overall mark which went to 22-3 after they defeated Col- lege of the Ozarks, but lost to eventual NAIA District-17 champs, OBU. ‘“We were playing at our peak when we won the AIC title,’’ Coach Jim Dickerson said. “‘When you hit your peak, it’s hard to stay up there.”’ Before the District playoffs, D ickerson said he was pleased with the way the team had played all year. Only two Golden Suns were shooting less than .500 from the field. They averaged .526 tor the season compared to .413 for their opponents. Leading the Suns in scoring was senior Rochelle Williams who averag- ed 15.5 points a game. Other double figure scorers were Tonya Carlton with a 10.6 game average, Marty Reed with a 10.5 average, and Donna Brunson with a 10 even average. From the free throw line, the Suns were only slightly better than their opponents, hitting at a .648 percentage clip to a .645 clip for their opponents. The Suns also out rebounded opponents 889 to 711. OBU was the only team that beat the Suns in regular season play. OBU won the District championship by beating Arkansas College by one point, Tech by eight and UCA by one. ‘‘T am very proud of all the girls on the squad,’’ Coach Dickerson said. ‘‘We hate to lose the seniors, but the returnees will provide a nucleus for next year’s Golden Sun team.”’ (Opposite left)‘“Coach-of-the-Year’’ Jim Dickerson.

Panhellenic refers to a council composed of representatives of each sorority on campus and rush is the term used by sororities to describe the time of membership selection. ‘ Membership in a sorority can provide many worthwhile experiences,’’ says Ginny Gibson, Panhellenic Rush Chairman. She was appointed by Roberta Gifford, Dean of Women at Tech. Her job is to coordinate and set up what is known as Formal Spring Rush. Gibson says all sororities are essentially idealistic, committed to high principles and wor- thwhile endeavors. She says the guiding princi- ple of each sorority is that of developing the greatest potential of each member according to her individual talents, skills, and personality. Sorority life is designed to inspire you and help you get the very most from you college experience. The first night of formal rush entails visiting all three sororities: Delta Zeta, Zeta Tau Alpha, and Phi Mu. Attendance at each party is design- ed to inform the rushee of the different aspects of sorority life. Rushees are required to attend all three parties unless excused by Dean Gifford. Each party lasts approximately 20 minutes in which sorority members mingle with the rushees, show off displays and sing songs. The second night of rush involves the theme parties. The parties are a little longer, 45 minutes, and all rushees are required to attend the theme parties just like the welcome parties. At the theme parties, the sororities entertain the rushees with skits, programs, and songs. Each sorority has their own ‘‘theme.”’ At Preference Parties, each one an hour long, the rushees have a final opportunity to visit two sororities that they may be considering pledging while sorority members have a chance for more interaction with girls they are considering as fur- ture members. ‘ Pref’’ parties carry a more serious tone. The sorority members try to share their feelings with the rushees and seriously express their group’s ideals. The sororities go to much preparation to make the preference parties the most elaborate during rush. The preferential bidding system is the method | of pairing the rushee’s sorority preference with | [Left and above] Laura Stewart and Dee McDowd decorate the lobby of Bryant Hall for the Zeta Tau Alpha pref night party.

Dean Gifford hands out preference cards on the night of the preference parties. The rushee can either fill one out or leave it blank, giving her the opportunity to pledge later durin g open bidding or next semester dur- ing fall rush. By filling out a preference card, the rushee commits herself to accept a bid from only one of the sororities she listed on her card, regardless of which one of her choices that par- ticular sorority might be. Once the card is turn- ed in, the order of the rushee’s choices cannot be changed. Once rush is under way, all sororities have membership selection meetings where they decide which girls might be best suited for their group and which girls will be invited back to their preference party. After the preference parties, the rushee will have to consider their personal order of preference among sororities. During this time, the word ‘‘suicide’’ may be heard. A girl goes ‘ suicide’’ when she prefers only one sorority. This is a personal decision, but is discouraged as the rushee is limiting herself to only one group. Starting with the close of the last preference party of Saturday night, and ending with the distribution of bids on Sunday, is a period call- ed Greek Silence. During this time, there can be no communication between members and rushees. This is to minimize the amount of in- fluence a sorority member can have on the rushee’s decision. Girls who have signed preference cards which match with a sorority will pick up their bids on the Sunday of rush. The rushee’s chosen sorori- ty will have a special activity after they pick up their bids. ‘“‘The experiences of a member in a social sorority include the opportunity for warm and lasting friendship, for the unifying effect of seek- ing common goals, for individual self improve- ment, and for identification with worthy stan- dards and conduct,’’ said Ginny Gibson. ‘‘My advice to rushees is to get acquainted with as many different sorority members as possible before you take that final step, ’’ Gibson added. ‘‘The group you choose will be not only your associates in college, but your close friends throughout life.’ 263 Organizations Raise Funds at Phi Mu Carnival The Phi Mu Carnival is held each year on for the Phi Mu’s to have a dance after the car- Halloween to raise money for Phi Mu’s national _ nival.

Organizations around campus have the oppor- tunity to set up booths at the carnival to raise money for their particular organization. Among the organizations and the activities which they sponsored were the Delta Zeta Kiss- ing Booth, Computer Science Club Computer Banners, Music Educators National Conference Jail, Wesley foundation Photo Booth, sigma Phi epsilon Hitman Booth, and the Lambda Chi Alpha Leg Auction. The carnival was held in the Student Center ballroom. Phi Mu charged an entry fee for students who attended the carnival as well as receiving a fee from the organizations which set up booths. This year, the Phi Mu’s sponsored a dance after the carnival in the student center ballroom. Diana Jacimore, Phi Mu, said there was a great turn out at the dance. ‘ T thought there was great participation from the students.’’ she said. ‘‘This was the first year Top right: Lambda Chi members get together at the carnival.

Greek Week emphasizes sportsmanship Greek Week at ATU is an annual event to pro- mote the sororities and fraternities on the Tech campus. Sportsmanship is stressed every year, but was stressed even more in the 1985 games because competition was so close during 1984’s Greek Week. ‘‘Competition is a definate factor,’’ said Kappa Alpha member Tommy White, ‘“but to promote sportsmanship is the sole purpose the Greeks are united for Greek Week.”’ The Greek Week games include men’s and women’s softball games; the three-legged race; Songfest, a group singing competition; a volleyball tournament; a pyramid-building con- test; men’s chariot race; the men’s track meet; the women’s obstacle course, and the tug-of-war contest. A banquet and awards ceremony is held at the end of Greek Week activities every year. At the 1985 Greek Week banquet, Tech sorority and fraternity members were urged to relate to other individuals by Dr. Gary Chamberlain, director of the State Department of Higher Education. Dr. Chamberlain said that fraternities and soroities provide a ‘‘sense of belonging”’ for their members, but he encouraged them to make friends outside their Greek group. He said that membership in Greek organizations round out the life experiences of an individual, but that members ‘‘grow and learn’’ in all social settings and by relating to others. A number of awards were presented during the banquet. Honors presented were: Interfraterni- ty Council Greek Week Champions--Lambda Chi Alpha; Interfraternity Council Dean’s Award--Sigma Phi Epsilon; Panhellenic Greek Week Champions--Zeta Tau Alpha; Panhellenic Sisterhood Award--Delta Zeta; Most Outstan- ding Greek Female--Denise Schluterman; Panhellenic Bill Lemley Award--Dr. Glynn Tur- nipseed, associate professor of biological science. “Sees: [Clockwise from the top of the opposite page] Alice Ann Hill gives it her all for Zeta Tau Alpha in the tug-of-war contest.

[Opposite page, top] ‘““How does it look?’’ [Bottom] John Jacobs gets measured for a graduation cap. Measuring up... How do you spell relief? GRADUATION! Graduation is one day that many seniors look forward to. After four years of going to class, taking finals and then trying to beat your parents to the mail box when the grades come in, the student is ready and hopefully prepared to forget about the books and experience the hard cold working world. College, however, will hold many fond and some not so fond memories for the graduate. But all in all college is one big learning experience, not just book learning, but ideas, values and morals are also formed during these years. Before the senior can graduate, he must follow certain procedures. Getting measured for the cap and gown is only part of the process. The student must get a transcript evaluation in the fall of his senior year to find out how many hours he needs to graduate. There is always some unfortunate student who finds out he needs 16 more hours to graduate rathar than the nine he thought he needed. But somehow he manages to buckle down and complete the extra hours needed for graduation. After the transcript evaluation, the student pays his graduation fee of $15 and he is half-way there. All he has to do now is attend class on a regular basis and work on a presentable resume. Looking for a job is a big part of wraping up the senior year. This is definately the time to start thinking about the future because there’s no tur- ning back now. Come May, the senior is in the home stretch of his four years of study. There are, however, some students who are on the five year plan. But just the same, the time will come when the stu- dent can say, ‘‘Look out world, here I come.”’ Ty AGRICOLA ARKANSAS ATU 1986 AGRICOLA riod h Mg “i © - = � AGRICOLA N F WS Arkansas Tech University e ce e eRusseliville, Arkansas 72801 A FINAL NOTE , Phones SS Se eed Area Code 50] GERALD EDGAR News Bureau Office 968-0284 Home 967-4607 Twenty-nine years of work with student publications at Arkansas Tech University will end for me, because I will retire at the end of the first five-week summer term. I have tried to work within the framework of a philosophy which was given to me when I began work here in 1957. Advisors were to give advice only and not force the advice on the editors. They were to assist the editors when asked and were to urge them to meet deadlines and be professional. I have tried to follow that philosophy while serving as advisor to the Arka Tech for 29 years and for the Agricola since 1960. I know that very few people realize how much time, effort, planning, and coordinating that editors have to do in order to produce a yearbook. I know what it takes and I have appreciated the work which the editors have done. I have watched them, encouraged them, at times discouraged them, and been proud of them when the work was finished. To Cyd and Cindy: You got a late start as editors because you were selected late. Eventhough you worked almost fulltime in other areas and the budget was cut which necessitated planning changes, you completed the book on time. You deserve more than Histmtnanks,ebut that is all I can offer. To Past Editors: Most of you came up through the ranks, so it made the job simpler. Although, in some cases, too much knowledge about the problems made the job more airitew.Lt:, but not insurmountable. To Photographers, Designers, and Others: Your work is not forgotten, because without your help the editors could not have accomplished their goal, publishing a yearbook. To the Ben Red Studio: Your assistance in taking class pictures and printing them so that we could meet our publishing deadlines is appreciated. To the Yearbook Publishers: The Agricola has been blessed with a minimum number, which means that we know the publisher and they know us which helps when you do have a problem. The Hurley Company published most of the yearbooks, but we have also had Taylor Publishing Company, DelMar, Walsworth, and Josten's. Thanks. To the Faculty and Administration: Most of you have worked well with the editors, and I have appreciated your help, particularly when they have missed classes due to a deadline; because students, like faculty, sometimes let things go until the work has to be rushed through. Budgeting is always a consideration, but since Tech students pay for the book with tuition, we have had no real financing problems. To the Students: Your cooperation in having class pictures taken (although the final day has always been a rush) and your help in informal and group shots is appreciated. And to Me: I have learned that not everyone is pleased with what is done. What pleases one person displeases another. I think most of you have been pleased with the results --one or two copies of the Agricola have been burned, a page cut out, and written and vocal complaints have been lodged. All complaints have been noted and each staff tries to do a better job; but remember it takes cooperation from everyone. So everyone has my heartfelt thanks, because you made my job easier. 274 Index Administration Administrative Officers Page 46 President Kenneth Kersh Page 48 Governor Bill Clinton Board of Trustees Page 50 - Adams, Travis McGee, Jim Ed Page 51 Stallings, Dix Jones, Royce Page 52 Schrock, Earl Hamm, Jack Fleniken, Dennis Page 53 Bowman, Leo Johnson, Don Page 56 Clayton, Fred Collins, Bill Cornett, Harold Edgar, Gerald Ferguson, Jimmy Gifford, Roberta Goines, Shirley Hamilton, Johnny C.
