But the govem- ment wasn't the only institution looking for eligible young people. Henderson, too, called for young people of all ages to register. Dr. Gary Anderson, vice president for student af- fairs, welcomed students at the end of the summer with, We're looking forward to the retum of cool weather, new students, and YOU. In late August the Pine Tree Speech welcomed new stu- dents and retuming students to the Reddie Spirit. Organiza- tions brought banners and wore the red and gray to extend their welcome as the legends of the holly trees, the Pines, the bell, and the lady in Black came alive once more. Following extensive recruiting efforts, freshman applica- .' Y ' -tions were up by over 100 in the fall. The rising costs of gasoline and transportation encouraged more students to live on campus, overall enrollment was up six percent in the spring. Students found a place at HSU that was unique to any other. Welcoming people was a key focus, and many students wondered, Where else would six people say hi to me in just a few minutes? Henderson students were people and not just another number. It was a good feeling to be needed and wanted and throughout the year the feeling grew. Parties, dances, con- certs, get-togethers with friends or just a stop in the Union Pub were great opportunities to become involved in campus life. Clubs and organizations brought students together to work and play in unity. : 'J E Terri Rouse spent her summer as did many HSU students singing at Magic Springs in Hot Springs.

They were introduced to the only school with the mysterious Reddie mascot, and told that Henderson had something special to offer. In efforts to reach out to future college students and tell them, We're looking for a few good people, we're looking for YOU, various campus groups traveled across the state to recruit for the University. Studying, attending class, and talking with friends were daily activities. Friendship and lasting memories were built as everyone found some area ofcampus life that said, YOU Sigma Phi'Epsilon members abandon the raft aher the raft race during Spring Fling.

The draft called for 18-22 year-old range, but students also ranged in age from 10 to 65 and older. Under a new program initiated in the fall, students over 65 could attend free. There was something for everyone at Henderson and the people of Henderson were important.

Everyone was here to get an education but to have fun while doing it. The most popular fun was the spur-of-the- moment trips to Hot Springs, and to Gurdon to see the light.' ' Many students have spent endless hours walking the railroad tracks searching for the light. Hot Springs offered students roller discos, night clubs and refreshments - some- thing that Arkadelphia does not. The Joint Educational Consortium sponsored lectures by Joseph Alsop and Cleveland Amory. TRIAD sponsored concerts by The Norman LuBoff Choir, and Maynard Fer- guson. The Student Activities Board featured movies like Califomia Suite, The Eyes of Laura Mars, The Mup- pet Movie, and coffeehouses featuring singer Barry Drake and comedian Steve Gipson. Major concerts this year were the Lonnie Brooks Blues Band and the Urban Cowboy Band, sponsored by SAB. Living on campus gave everyone a chance to get involved in RHA and make residence life more enjoyable. The Stu- dent Union Pub played a major role in every student's life. It was once said that a student can leam more in the Pub than in any classroom. Who can forget all those meals in Caddo? It wasn't exactly gourmet, but it had to do. From Caddo to rush parties, from studying in the library, to attending concerts and going to Hot Springs or Gurdon, student life included You. Ed Iohnson, Karen Dismuke, Ed Grissom, Sam Gosso, and Mike Bull, played for the annual Madrigal Feaste held in Caddo Cafeteria. Student Life DlVlS101'1f7 ,, L'- I he Fir t Week i the Hardest CME, . Mi' ' il be Bill Wheeler uses a compass to get his directions correct in a map reading course. A must for any incoming freshman or transfer student is a Henderson t-shirt. For weeks boxes and suitcases have been piling up everywhere - boxes and suitcases that contain lifetime treasures that will soon find a new home. The weeks of packing have been filled with worry and anticipation. In goes the favorite T-shirt and you think, What if my roommate doesnit like me? Then, What if I don't like my roommate? I've never had to share a room with anyone. The what-ifs continue as each alti- cle is packed. The experienced students know and the freshmen have been warned - the tirst week is the hardest. There's the stuffed animal collection. How many late night studying sessions will these animals and I spend? Then suddenly it hits you. The pain of summer's end. The long summer you thought would never end draws to a close and it's time to return to the routine of classes, studying, tests, and homework. Sunday. Somehow all those boxes, car- tons, suitcases, and all that stuff has got to be packed in the car and moved into the dorm. So you gather up all the family recruits and head on your way. Finally, at school, you find your room number, get your keys, meet your R.A., and move everything into the room. Then at last it's time to collapse. But only for a short time for soon it will be time to meet with old friends to catch up on the summer or to attend freshman orientation. And don't forget the Pine Tree Speech at 7:00. Here you'll discover the traditions and history of Henderson - from Bench 13 to the pine and holly trees, from the beH to the Black Lady. Later that night you begin talking to your roommate. Maybe this won't be so bad after all, you think to yourself. Well, at least I can stand it until after rush is over and private rooms are available. The dorm isn't quite home, but for the next few months - years? -it will have to do. Monday.

' '- ti 4 i The First Week is the Hardest cont. - Registration Registration, one of the most dreaded burdens of the usual first week confusion, was made a little easier with the help of the computer system, seven computer terminals, and an assortment of students and staff personnel. The registration process began with a gray sheet, on which students filled out a trial schedule and listed information needed for the student directory. The process of registration began when the gray sheet was completed and signed by the student's advisor. The first floor of Womack Hall was the first stop. Here students secured vehicle stickers, housing, meal plans and post of- fice boxes. The next stop was Station No. l where all student information was en- tered into the computer. Health stamps and deans' approvals were obtained at Station No. 2, located on the second fioor of Womack. The next stop was to have the trial schedule punched into the computer. If problems arose, this was the time for them. The process was often a trying one as classes were closed, and all the work of trying to find that perfect schedule was in vain. Perfect schedules were defined as not beginning before 9 a.m. so students can sleep late, and ending by l or 2 p.m. in order to escape to the lake or watch one's favorite soap operas. Hope was not all lost though, as stu- dents were told to find the instructor Having an ID card made during the first few steps of the registration process is a must for all stu- dents. whose class was closed and obtain his signature. When that was done one was assured a place in the class. Finding the instructor, though, proved to be a totally new game in itself. The game began when the student went to the instructor's office. A typical scene went something like this: Student knocks on the door, but there is no answer. An- other instructor says to check the Union Pub, but after going there the student finds he is nowhere in sight. By now stu- dent is desperate and decides to return to the instn1ctor's office and wait for him. He is the key to that perfect schedule and the student is determined to get that magic signature no matter what it takes. Finally, the instructor comes up and agrees to let the student in the class. Feel- ing confident again the student retums to station no. 2 and has the now approved class entered into the computer. The reg- istrar's stamp is placed on the gray sheet and the registration process is complete. Although the process of registering for classes seemed easy enough, the unex- pected continued to take its toll on even the most patient of students and staff. Lines. usually long ones, formed at every registration process station. The computers were not infallible, as they broke down several times, especially during fall pre-registration. Computers also tended to make mistakes. Karen Bass, a sophomore music therapy major from Warren, said, The only thing is that it made a mistake and I put me in the wrong class. Other than: that, it is fair Freshman orientation was also a cause of unexpected problems in registration As usual freshmen were advised to take the basic courses such as fundamental! math and p.e. to get them out of the way early. Upper classmen who still needed I these courses faced the problem of closed l classes after freshman orientation and early registration was complete Even with long lines, closed classes and computer breakdowns, veteran stu dents agreed that the new system is better than the old one of using class cards what table to go to first, then you had the packet to fill. To me, the computer is better, said Lisa Foley, a junior fromt San Antonio Texas Stacy Burford, a junior business man agement major from Mena, said, The old system was a mass confusion. It didn't matter what time you went people pulled cards In its second year the new computer system of registration has proven to be at success. Although there are still some problems, most students, faculty, and! administration agree that the computers are an asset when it's time for the dreaded 4 bi-annual ritual of registration .

Where Th Action I Thoughts of spending nine months in a 16 X 16 room can sometimes turn into nightmares. But with a little imagination and ingenuity, students discovered ways to transform the two beds, two desks and two closets into something more than just a dorm room. With a little help, rooms became the perfect home away from home. Students looked at their room as a chal- lenge to create a unique place in which they could study, relax, eat and sleep. One ofthe first requirements was to bring loads of gear from home. This gear in- cluded stereos, radios, televisions, plants and posters. Other students extended their gear even more. Several female residents brought their sewing machines from home and set up them up to sew not only for themselves, but also for fellow resi- dents and students. Annette Reeser, a junior special educa- tion major from Huntsville, brought her sewing machine to Holly Hall. S S .. xg A fishnet, beanbag chair and pictures on his bulletin board changed four bare walls into the perfect place to live and do homework for Donnie Willis. Residence Lifell5 Where The Action Is Male residents often chose to create in the dorm, also. Paul Monahan, a junior business management major from Ar- kadelphia, has rebuilt six motorcycles in a cave room in Newberry Hall. Paul says, I don't keep a drop of gasoline or oil in the room. The head resi- dent and the assistant dean of housing make unannounced inspections and al- ways tind the room spotless. Dean Isabel Brian, associate dean of housing, says that students are allowed to use the windowless rooms of Newberry and Smith Halls for studies of hobbies as long as they aren't needed for living quar- ters. Simply by asking, woodworkers, sculptors, weight-lifters, seamstresses and dancers can get a cave room, Paul uses the cave room across the hallway from his own room for his motor- cycle rebuilding. As one of the 40 resident assistants in Newberry, Smith, Goodloe, Turrentine, and the three sorority dorms, Holly, Oaks, and Pines, Paul keeps his floor quiet, talks with other students about problems and makes sure things run smoothly. Dean Brian says that RAS are trained by the University Counseling Center and by the housing adminis- trators. Problems dealt with by these as- sistants range from helping students ad- just to college life to making sure floors are quiet for night-time studying. A RA can ask someone to be more quiet, but he can't enter a room without being invited, according to Tom Avant, head resident of Newberry. The RAs are just one part of the Housing Department's goal to make on-campus living more enjoyable. Souvenirs from every event decorate Karen Sharp's bulletin board. 16!

A local college refrigerator ser- vice gives students the opportunity to keep a refrigerator and a supply of food, and the local phone company also allows students to have their own phone. Stu- dents may also request that their room be painted by the Maintenance Department. With a personalized decor, phone and refrigerator, it isn't long before the 16 X 16 room isn't so unpleasant and is truly a home away from home. Students in campus housing also dis- cover other areas to relax, talk together and play games. Lobbies and lounge rooms are often the site of various card games, a game of backgammon or just a conversation with a fellow resident. Televisions are also provided for those not lucky enough to have their own. Dorm life is sometimes frustrating with the noise, lack of privacy and other has- sles such as an occasional lack of hot wa- ter. But with a little cooperation and a more pleasant atmosphere, it becomes bearable again, and as many students have discovered, campus living is cheaper than renting an apartment. Liv- ing on campus is also a good first step toward independence. ' Those who lived on campus discovered other advantages as well. Living on cam- pus made becoming involved a little easier as one was closer to the center of activities and events. Pleasant living conditions, working RAS, and a closeness to events brought meaning to the phrase, on campus . . . where the action is.

I9 N 20!Student Life 1,545 registered cars and only 929 total parking places create The clock ticks away as once again an- other student can't find a parking place. Late for class again! A In desperation, the student circles the entire campus twice, finally spotting a small space to squeeze into. Even though one side of the car will be over the yellow line, it will just have to do. Five minutes late for class already! Classes are finally over and the weary-wom student retums to his car to find a big yellow parking ticket stuck un- demeath the windshield wipers. For the third time in a month the student treks to the Security Office. No use trying to ex- plain that it was the other car's fault for not parking straight. The lack of parking on campus is not a new problem. It's been with students since the first cars were driven to school, and is not expected to improve. Beth McHenry, a sophomore joumal- ism major who commutes from Malvem, says, I have to allow 20 minutes before class just to find a place to park. With such a large majority of students who commute, many students face similar problems. During the fall semester 1,545 cars were registered, with only 929 total park- ing places available on the main campus. For commuters, this is a special problem, especially during the heavy course load Parking assles days - Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fri- days. These are the three days that more commuters take more classes. One com- muter says, The problem would at least be improved if the students who live on campus were to walk to class instead of driving. Students from Newberry and Garrett are often seen driving the short distance to campus, rather than walking. This would help to alleviate some of the prob- lem. The best place to park is the parking lot at 12th and Richardson Streets, with quick availability to the main part of cam- pus and 131 student parking places. The early moming parking place seeker knows that the lot north of Russell Fine Arts, with 108 available spaces, is the next best bet. He knows, too, that being early is important. This parking area is full be- fore 9:00 on MWF and 9:30 on TTH. The majority of the other 710 spaces are located adjacent to Smith and New- berry Halls. Parking is prohibited in some marked areas, but campus security is kept busy writing tickets for those who ignore the signs or who do not have a valid bumper sticker. It appears that early in a semester is the busiest time for tickets. In September alone 780 tickets were written by securi- ty. In an average month 250 are written, with an approximate total of 52000.00 per year. This money goes into the Univer- sity Special Account. Security reacts in different ways to giv- ing tickets. One officer says he doesn't like giving tickets, but it's part of my job. The boss says I have to. It'sjust one of those things that have to be done. Another of the security officers says he doesn't mind writing tickets. He says, They deserve it, so I give it to them. Some students found a solution to the problem of the lack of parking through carpooling. The rising costs of fuel were also a factor in encouraging more stu- dents to drive together rather than take three to six cars from the same town or community. A new service during the year offered aid to those students taking classes at both Henderson and Ouachita. The South Central Arkansas Transit bus made daily trips to and from both cam- puses. Riding the SCAT bus not only saved many students a trip themselves, but prevented them from having to lose a parking place. For others, however, the clock ticked on as once again the cry, Oh no, I'm late! was heard. Parking Problemsl21 1 This sign located on Interstate 30 points out the exit for Ouachita and Henderson.

Coming to school in Arkadelphia, or Arkadoo, as it is more affectionately known, is an experience that every stu- dent looks at with a variety of emotions. The most common complaint seemed to be, There's nothing to do here, espe- cially among those from larger cities. Even students from smaller towns often found it hard to adjust, but for nine months of the year Arkadelphia was home, and all students somehow leamed to make the most of it. Established in 1818, the county seat of Clark County is one of the oldest towns in Arkansas. The quiet town began as a settlement in 1809 was once a favor- 22!Student Life ite camping ground of the Caddo and Ouachita Indian tribes. Spanish explorer Hemando de Soto also visited the area in his search for the nearby Indian salt-licks. Arkadelphia's original spelling was Arcadelphia, a compound word from arc, a part of a circle, and the latter part of Philadelphia, meaning brother- hood. Thus, Arkadelphia means arc of brotherhood. The downtown area of Arkadelphia, located within walking distance of cam- pus, offers students the opportunity to do their banking at one of their major banks, shop for food and clothes and other items, or just windowshop. The comer of Main Street and 6th Street in town under went a physical change in the spring as the old Heard's Drug Store and other businesses de- stroyed by fire last year were tom down. These old buildings were a part of Ar- kadelphia's heritage and tradition that can't be replaced. For students who found there was nothing to do in Arkadelphia, a twice-a- year event offered a change of pace. The Festival ofthe Two Rivers, held in the fall and again in the spring, oHered something for everyone. Students, as well as area residents, competed in races of all kinds, viewed arts and crafts exhibits, and Freshman Brian Parmley shops at Wal-Mart for school supplies.

This year the last production of the HSU Repertory Theatre, The Night of January 16, was held in conjunction with The Festival. Henderson students took pride in their adopted hometown, as well as par- ticipating in fun-filled activities. The Rec- reation Club, alias The Clark County Caretakers, worked with other campus and community volunteers to clean up the 'Clark County area in April as part of Na- tional Keep America Beautiful Week. Arkadelphia is the home of both Hen- derson State University and Ouachita Baptist University, thus making it unique for a town of just over 10,000. The two- university town offers a variety of choices in fast food and other restaurants for stu- dents. Arby' s offered roast beef and other sandwiches, while Andy's, Mc Donald's, Tastee Inn, and Sonic were the places to go for a hamburger and fries. Chicken lovers went to Kentucky Fried Chicken, while Pizza eaters headed to Pop's, El Primo, Ken's or Pizza Hut. A new chicken restaurant, Chicken Lickin, began construction during the ,spring semester. For those with more expensive taste and larger pocketbooks, Bowen's at Con- tinental Inn and Bonanza were also avail- able. Bowen's offered different buffets, including seafood on Fridays, as well as sit-down menu, while Bonanza served steaks and a change-of-pace charcoal- broiled hamburger. Bonanza also offered student discount coupons in The Oracle each week. Every student knows one can not sur- vive by all work and no play. But the common complaint returned again, There's nothing to do. A major escape route for students, however, led to the UA Cinema, especially on Monday and Tuesday Dollar Nights. Then there was always the lake. Early in the fall and late in the spring students headed to nearby Lake De Gray, located 10 miles from campus, for an aftemoon of sun, fun, swimming and relaxation from classes and studying. Other students enjoyed an aftemoon at the Arkadelphia park located within walking distance. Students could picnic, swim in the pool or just take it easy in the shade or sun. Tennis courts and a baseball field were also available. After a day of classes and studying, many students were ready to escape for a while at night. This was the time for movie-going and eating out. But once the movies were over and the food was eaten, Arkadelphials night life offered little choice for something to do. Even shopping was difficult at night as the downtown stores closed at 5 p.m. and Howard's and Magic Mart and Wal-Mart closed at 8 p.m. For the really desperate, however, who wanted to pay a little more, convenience stores were available. Buzz Buy, open 24 hours, offered gas, food, magazines and other items for the late- nights. Many students also found that several of the fast-food restaurants had already closed when their stomachs be- came hungry. Mc Donald's stayed open until 12, however, and the Waffle House 3 anal-i was open 24 hours for those who had an attack of late-night or early, early mom- ing munchies. Some students took their books with them and studied while munching. Adventuresome students knew where to head when the night-life of Arkadel- phia got them down. They headed, with plenty of people for protection, of course, to see the Gurdon Light. Saturday nights in Arkadelphia weren't exactly the same as in other towns and cities, but students still got together to have fun. Riding around was a popular pastime. The Royal Jamboree took place every Saturday night with Johnny and the Wild Bunch. Live Country and Country Rock Music was offered for those who chose to attend.

But high gas prices also discouraged many from traveling too far very often. Several locations offered recreation get-aways for students to play pinball or pool. These facilities were available at the pool room behind El Primo Pizza, at Junior Food Mart, Howard's and Pizza Hut. A new recreational spot, Space- port, was opened in the downtown area in the spring. On-campus recreation was also available in the Union. Parties, concerts, movies and lectures added to on-campus entertainment and night life. Entertainment didn't always have to cost anything in Arkadelphia.

Thirty churches of various denominations are located throughout the area, with the largest membership of 1,000 at First Bap- tist. Students and faculty from both Hen- derson and Ouachita attended each of these churches as well as teaching class- es, leading music and singing in the choirs. Fellowships and suppers were often provided for students on Sunday nights. Arkadelphia offers educational and cultural opportunities to students. The town boasts the oldest established city library in the state, which is located downtown, and is included in the the Na- tional Register of Historic Places. Medical Services are provided for stu- dents on campus at the Health Center and at the local hospital and doctors' offices. Plans for a new health-care facility, the Twin Rivers Medical Center, are under- way to replace the Clark County Memo- rial Hospital. Students joined in the community-wide fund-raising programs to raise the needed money for the center. Several campus organizations contrib- uted money to the center and the nursery will be named after HSU. Students discovered that Arkadelphia wasn't really so bad after all. As they came to know the town and participate in campus and community activities and events, the hometown feeling grew and students did feel at home in Arkadephia. The community benefited from the stu- dents' presence as well as students bene- fiting from the community, and a feeling of cooperation was felt that is unique to Henderson and Arkadelphia.

With scholarships, grants and loans not covering the cost of school, many students became Working Student The pressures of going to school can be enough for any student. But for those who added responsibility of a full or part-time job, the pressures were even more in- tense. Most students worked, of course, for financial reasons. The rising costs of going to school, coupled with increasing inflation, put financial burdens on almost everyone. Loans, scholarships and grants weren't always enough, and additional income had to come from somewhere. Students held jobs at a variety of places in the community, as well as on campus. Work-study jobs on campus were avail- able for eligible students in the library, campus offices, the Union, and in the Caddo Cafeteria. Some students on work study were paid for holding office, such as the Student Govemment Association president, vice president of Student Af- fairs and financial officer. Students applied through the financial aid office, Iunior mass media communications major Scott Steele found working at Bonanza a way to bring in extra income. Senior Home Economics major Gina Lookadoo, serves customers at the refreshment center at Wal-Mart. which then found positions for students. Other students chose to seek a job in the Arkadelphia area, and fast-food res- taurants seemed the most common choice. Students from both Henderson and Ouachita Baptist University worked nights and weekends at McDona1d's, is Sonic, Taco Tico, Andy's and Pizza. Hut. Scott Steele, a junior mass media communications major from Hampton, worked nights and weekends at Bonanza. Scott also held the position of sports editor for the Oracle in the fall, cartoonist and columnist in the spring, and wrote for the Star, as well as working at KSWH, the campus radio station. Students also worked at other Ar- kadelphia businesses, including those in town. Mary Avery worked at the Hallmark Crown Shop, while Margaret Copeland worked at J. C. Penney's, both located on Main Street. Other students worked at area gas stations, Magic Mart, Wal-Mart, and convenience stores.

This year, Henderson was granted the privilege of watching, listening, and being amused by three different forms of come- dians. One was a professional billards cham- pion first, with comedy mixed ing another was an artist, and a comedian in a 50-50 deal, while still another preferred to be a comedian first, then a magician. Three perfect performances stemmed from three very different personalities, with all taking place within the Student Union. Jack White hit the campus in late Sep- tember, and to pinpoint it even more, he proved who the best pocket billards and trick artist was, from a pool table in the gameroom. The difference between pool and bil- liards, White explained, is that pool is played in undignified surroundings, while billiards is performed at Henderson State. After his 10 a.m. show, White retired to the Union Pub, for a hot sandwich and an interview. ' I dig people, White said. If they weren't here . . . I wouldn't be here. White has visited the campus for seven years and plans to continue until they say nof' White is the current world champion, and recollected the first time he chal- lenged Minnesota Fats. The year was 1962, and he won. Jack White, that is. , According to White, there is possibly only one person who could beat him in the game of billiards. The man upstairs could meet up with me sometime . . . and I figure he will probably win the game. Showmanship is the main function for White's performances, along with mixing in a little suspense and kidding around. I like to miss a really difficult shot the first time to get everyone excited, and I may make them an offer Qsuch as S100 to each person if he misses againj, followed by the zinger and making the shot. It's not to say that White doesn't run into problems every once in a while. He had just finished setting up a shot using three cues and three balls and prom- ised a new car to everyone present if he missed it within three times. After two attempts, students were al- ready deciding what they wanted, but as usual, the 49-year-old genius pulled through and successfully executed the shot to the applause of the audience. You have to give them fthe crowdj what they want. Jack White left for Little Rock Air Force Base the next day, explaining that he had to stick around Arkadelphia for the day. I have a date, of course. One month later, the action shifts to the Pub, where suddenly at high noon, late in October, a voice rings out through the Union. Imagine if you will . . . a man, dressed in a white tuxedo, emerging from a door . . And emerging from that door was none other that Steve Gipson, cartoonist- entertainer. Let me explain that he is probably the only performance. I am not just a car- Iack White concentrates on his next shot. He held his show in the game room located in the Union.

Gipson feels that he is probably the only type of anist on the market with the style he follows. Sure, there are comedians fmy favor- ites are Bill Cosby and Richard Nixonl and then there are cartoonists who talk while they are drawing, but I add jokes about what I am drawing and thus create the Gipson entertainment hour. Gipson had been to Henderson only once before, but claimed he was glad to be back. I have to admit, I like this place. Precisely at noon, with the sound of the William Tell Overture ringing through the air of the Student Union, a man decked in a white tuxedo, clip-on bow tie, and white earth shores appeared at the back open- ing, and embarked on the task of amusing a crowd, for 60 minutes. Before indulging into his act, Gipson let the audience know who his assistants were for the day. On my right is Dave, and to my left is George, or is it George and then Dave? L'Oh well, all black speakers look alike. Gipson continues along allowing his artwork to create the atmosphere for his joke. Leading the afternoon were drawings of Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, along with Dolly Parton and even Bo Derek. Gipson stayed around that aftemoon, until he couldn't see, providing stu- dents with caricatures of themselves. During the spring semester, John Szeles appeared in the Student Union, performing what is termed a coffee house act. The list of previous engagements for Szeles is impressive. He performed for the 1979 Country Music Awards, along with the tour of the King Tut exhibit. There were private par- ties and for the Jefferson Starship, Oak- land Raiders, and the Bay area radio sta- tions. The stage was a simple set-up. Three tables, a couple of spotlights, and of course, The Amazing Johnathan him- self. Dressed in a black tuxedo, along with a pair of white Nike running shoes, Szeles proceeded with his assigned task. First, there was the traditional magic tricks. The chrome-plated gold rings, some juggling and a gone with the wind dollar bill. Following a style similar to the Great Ballentine, along with insults like Don Rickles, Szeles accomplished his mission and moved on to the next audience in the state.

Drama!45 A Laugh and a Cry cont. kkfqsf The Mind With A Dirty Man,', staged in the round, was the February performance for the Repertory Theatre. Called the funniest straight play in Las Vegas history, the play ran for over 500 performances there. The play centered around small-town leader Wayne Stone, head of the local film review board. The hypocrisy of conventional American mores are pointed out in the outrageous ending to the play. David Matthews played the part of Wayne Stone. Other cast members were Jan Pearshall as Alma Stone, Randy Gar- rett as Clayton Stone, and Kim Weast, a 1980 HSU graduate in English from El Paso, Texas, as Devina. Ruth Brummett was Lucrecia Conwell, Thomas Demp- ster played Father Jerome, and Sheilah Hargis played Dianne Dracman. Kenneth Gillham, associate professor of oral communications, served as tech- nical director, with Dr. Bethea as direc- tor. Comedy and seriousness blended to- gether in The Night ofJanuary 16, the fourth and final production of the 1980-81 season. Presented in April in conjunction with the Festival of Two Rivers, the play took place at the Clark County Court House. A popular American play, Ann Rand's courtroom drama was first produced in 1953. The audience, as well as a jury cho- sen from the audience, determined dif- ferent verdicts during the week's produc- tion of the murder trial. Karen Andre, played by Jan Pearshall, was the young woman on trial for the murder of Bjom Faulkner, the powerful businessman whom she loved. As the equally skilled attomeys, played by Phililp Effird and Ruth Brummett, examined the witnesses, it became increasingly difficult to deter- mine whether Karen Andre was a cold- blooded murderess, or merely the victim . of a vicious deception. Laura Williams played Nancy Lee Faulkner, the widow of Bjom Faulkner. Other cast members were Jeff Hunt as John Graham Whitfield, Bart Montgom- ery as Larry Regan, the shady gangster in love with Karen, and David Jones as Judge Heather. Jeff Harlan, an HSU graduate from Arkadelphia, played the role of Dr. Kirk- land, the medical examiner. Harlan also took over directing responsibilities during the week of production. Mrs. Hutchins was played by Robin Nutt. Other cast members were Robert Boston as Homer Van Fleet, Steve Ed- dington as Elmer Sweeney, and Barbara Smith as Magda Svenson. Others were Beth McHenry as Jane Chandler, Thomas Dempster as Sigurd Jungquist, Cindy Jennings as Roberta Van Rensselaer, Rex Smedley as the court bailiff, Duane Beck as court clerk, and Scott Gallimore as court stenog- rapher. Cecelia Aikman was secretary to the district attomey and Dana Sanders was the prison matron.

In the tradition of the intemational Olympic games, the event opened with the track team carrying in the American flag, the flag of Arkansas, the flag of Henderson and an Olympic torch. The Garrison Handicap was the after- noon's first event. A team of two mem- bers competed in the race, held with shopping carts. The driver of the cart was blindfolded, while the navigator, riding in the cart, had the responsibility of direct- ing the driver around an obstacle course. It sounded easy enough, but many of the competitors seemed to forget which way was left and which way was right. Partnership formed again as teams of two competed in the Wheelbarrow Race. Many dreaded the event, which called for the driver to push the wheelbarrow, com- plete with passenger, across 30 yards of the roughest ground on campus. Wrecks were common, but there were no broken bones. A crowd of over 300 spectators and participants gathered at the field for the next races and the pep rally that followed. svn!

The final two races were the three- legged race and the sack race. Participa- tion was higher than expected, and the pep rally was delayed. No one knew what was in store at the pep rally following the races. Most of the crowd had remained for the rally, and enthusiasm and Reddie Spriit were high. After arriving in a large moving van, the cheerleaders tumed to some old Harlem Globetrotters tricks. Buckets flled with water were switched with the confetti- filled buckets and the confusion began. With the theme of the pep rally Wash Out the Savages, water balloons were thrown, and the crowd began to dodge them before falling victim to the sudden spray of water. The pep rally ended on a sudden note as the crowd left the field to escape, and the Hall Olympics were over. It was a different kind of pep rally and an unusual end to the Olympics.

Although it wasn't a joint Homecoming with Ouachita, we cele- brated the event with our own style much diiferent than in past years. This year the senior football players, in cooperation with Heart and Key, in- itiated a new method of selecting the Homecoming Queen and her court, stressing participation. The court, made up of female students enrolled in at least 12 semester hours, consisted of the traditional maids chosen by the senior football players and six ad- ditional maids named by Heart and Key. The additional maids were chosen fol- lowing competition by recognized stu- dent organizations in a contest sponsored by Heart and Key. In order to have their candidates named as maids, competing organizations earned Reddie Spirit points and met certain requirements. A Organizations competing in the contest sponsored a girl for maid, and then at- tended pep rallies in order to show their support for her, as well as their support for the Reddies. Points were earned through doing a group cheer and display- ing at least three signs boosting the Red- die Spirit. Organizations that won the Spirit Stick at pep rallies during No- vember earned additional points. Participating organizations were also required to sponsor at least two activities designed to promote Reddie Spirit. These activities ranged from a marshmallow drop sponsored by Alpha Sigma Tau, to a parade through campus, sponsored by Alpha Xi Delta. When the contest was complete, 15 coeds were competing for the title of 1980 Homecoming Queen. Students voted for the queen two days prior to the big game. According to Dr. Gary Anderson, vice president of Student Affairs, over 500 students voted in the election, making it the biggest voter tum-out for any election held on campus in recent years. Charlotte Harrington, a senior elementary educa- tion major from Camden, was elected as queen. The court consisted of Kelly O'Quinn, Brenda Wright, Lisa Hardin- Atkins, Viv- ian Johnson, Stephanie Dunavant and Jeanne Mize. The rest ofthe court included Elizabeth Parrette, Debra Acklin, Melinda New- ton, Kathryn Griftin, Deanna Dowd, Kelly Kems, Connie Berry and Carla Ridgeway. ' t A--fe - . . '-rf '.

Just as they have since 1912, screams and the sounds of clanging chains filled the halls of the girls' dorms as the Lady in Black made her traditional search for the freshman girl who stole her lover. In keeping with the annual tradition of honoring alumni at the game and other scheduled events, the alumni and former students attending HSU from 1938-1946 were honored at this year's Homecom- ing. The War Years' Reunion began with a dance featuring the music of Wayman Ballard and his Henderson Alumni Band of Renown and a jitterbug and dress of the 40's contest.

The tirst half of the game was owned by the Reddies as they jumped out to a 14-0 lead at halftime. During halftime, the Showband of Arkansas excited the crowd with ex- cerpts from the season's shows. Crowd favorites were Wabash Cannonballf' complete with a banjo interlude and a sa- lute to the War Years' Alumni with In the Mood. In the third quarter the Tigers came from behind to tie the score at 14- 14. Tak- ing advantage ofthe Reddies' lack of kill- er instinct, the Tigers put it all together to score two more touchdowns to the Red- dies one and put the tinal score at 28-21. Ironically, the score was identical to last year's Reddie win at OBU's A. U. 'Wil- liams Field. The Homecoming loss was disappoint- ing, and Reddie spirits were dampened even more as the rain that had threatened during the entire game finally came just as the fans were leaving the stadium. The hearts of true Reddie fans were not com- pletely down, however. As the band played the season's final That Ole Red- die Spirit, thoughts of we'l1 get 'em next year began to form. Homecoming 1980 was a mixture of dif- ferent and traditional events, events that made it one of the best. To boost Reddie Spirit the Alpha Taus, Sig Taus, and Phi Lambs participate in a pep rally held at the fountain near Mooney Hall. Captains Morris Wright, Virgil Green and Darren O'Quinn await the outcome of the coin toss to start the game. OBU is represented-by Eddie jackson and Tab Turner. R X iffgw ee.

While many students were involved in shopping and parties, others were busily engaged in practices, rehearsals and performances. The annual Madrigal Feaste held for three nights in Caddo was one of the first events of the season. The feaste, featur- ing all the customs of Old English dining, dancing, and singing, has become one of the favorite events of the Christmas sea- son in Arkadelphia and the surrounding community. Following the Madrigal Feaste the Opera Theatre's presentation of ' ' Amahl and the Night Visitors showed a small, crippled boy's unselfish nature. Once again the RHA Carol of Lights was one of the most beautiful events of the year. The 8th annual celebration of lights and signing climaxed a day of work in which RHA members and volunteers folded bags, filled them with sand, placed candles in them and finally lit the candles just before the 6:30 p.m. ceremony. The Henderson Proctor Day Care three-and four-year old choir, BSU Choir, Gospel Choir and HSU Brass Choir were included among the perfor- mers. Brother Fred Amold, from the First United Methodist Church, read the Christmas story and began the candle- lighting that spread through the crowd to signify the peace of the season. Following the Carol of Lights the Con- cert Choir and University Chorus pre- sented their annual Christmas Choral Concert, under the direction of Charles Rye. Signs of the Christmas season were evident elsewhere on campus as well as decorations were seen from dorms to the Union. Hallways and stairways in Womack were decorated in tinsel, and at least one office had their stockings Cname-includedl hung with care. And of course there was always all the shop- ping that led to another sign of the season - empty pockets and lack of money. Lord of the Castle Charles Rye and His Lady Theresa McRee lead the procession to start the Madrigal Feaste. Court iuggler lay Randall performs for the dinner guests.

M'ss CBS Halloween, the night of spooks and goblins, turned into a night of glory and self-accomplishment for Donna Hender- son, a senior physical education major from Conway, as she was crowned Miss CBS 1980. Winning the pageant was, for Donna, the answer to a life-long dream. She said, I watched beauty pageants on television as a little girl, and I would always pretend that I was the winner. But when I found out that I had won the CBS pageant, my reaction was nothing like I had practiced as a child. A member of Delta Sigma Theta, the Lady Reddie basketball team, P.E. ma- jors Club andthe Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Donna would like to go into the coaching field for a few years, then retum to school to receive her master's in speech. She was sponsored in the pageant by Delta Sigma Theta. Donna said that she entered the pag- eant just for the fun of it. I had no idea that I would win it. It just seemed like a good way to meet new people. For her il talent she sang I Don't Know How to Love Him from the hit Jesus Christ Superstar. Meeting people and gaining new ex- periences seemed to be the motivation behind entering the pageant for the other six contestants. Diana Smith, a Heshman pre-med major from Little Rock, said the pageant was an experience I won't forget. Other contestants in the pageant were Sacannah Hom, Deborah Christopher, Doretta Grifin, Cecilia Woods and Cynthia Collins. Sponsors for the pageant were Delta Sigma Theta, Omega Psi Phi, the Brotherhood of Blackstones, the Ar- kadelphia Sunshine Service Club, the Residence Hall Association, and Alpha Kappa Alpha. Contestants in the pageant were judged in three divisions: evening gown, swim- suit, and talent.

The Da f A New eginning Lonnie Brooks of Lonnie Brook Blues Band per- formed in Arkansas Hall to kick oh' the month of Black Awareness. 68lOrganizations Black America . . . The Dawn of a New Beginning was the theme of this year's Black Awareness Month held in February. The Confederation of Black Students joined students across the country to honor and recognize the many contribu- tions that blacks have given to society. Toni Anderson, president of CBS, said, Our theme holds truth not only for blacks in America, but for all races, creeds, colors, and religions in our coun- try. Our theme designates that because of the many crises that face our nation to- day, the beginning of a new presidential administration, and the retum of our former Iranian hostages, a feeling of unity should be felt throughout the country. Each week of the month-long activities had a designated theme to signify dif- ferent contributions by blacks in America. The first week' s theme was Historical Impact on Blacks in America. Jazz Day, one of the first events, featured a jazz group with piano and guitar. The Lonnie Brooks Blues Band also performed in a free concert during the first week, and Donna Henderson, the newly chosen Miss CBS was honored at the CBS Coronation Ball and Disco. Second-week events, with a theme of Light in Time of Darkness, began with a lecture by C. W. Grant, dean of Student Affairs at Albany State College. Muhammad Ali's movie, The Greatest, was also shown during the second-week festivities. HSU's Gospel Choir joined with gos- pel choirs from across Arkansas for Gos- pel Night. Mahlon Martin, city manager of Little Rock, spoke to students about his duties and responsibilities as city manager and offered insight into job possibilities and opportunities. The latest fashions in clothes were modeled at the CBS Fashion Show, also featuring live entertainment by students. This event is now scheduled to become an annual event during Black Awareness Month. Third-week activities began with Career Information Day. Together We Can Make It was the theme for this week. Twenty-four speakers from various occupational fields spoke to interested students to inform them of career oppor- tunities and to offer help on making career choices. One of the speakers for Career Day was Hosea Sanders, an HSU graduate with a degree in joumalism and oral communications. Sanders now works with Channel 4 in Little Rock and for Southwestem Bell. Fratemities and sororities from across the state competed in a Greek Show to head off the final week of the month. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority from Hen- derson was the wirmer in the girls' com- petition. The Black Awareness Ball, held on the night of the Greek Show, highlighted the month' s events, and a guest speaker, Carl Rowan, rounded out the awareness ac- tivities, speakers and activities. Rowan spoke in conjunction with the Joint Lec- ture Series. The theme of the fourth week, Looked Over-Stepped-On-But Still Climbing, reflected the mood of the purpose of Black Awareness Month, as well as CBS. Black Awareness was, ac- cording to Toni Anderson, a time for all students, organizations and faculty to work with each other. She added that the programs were intended to be educa- tional, interesting, and enjoyable for all HSU students and faculty. Oliver Fitzpatrick, human relations black senator in the Student Govemment Association, said, The most important thing we can leam as we move forward in the direction of not only a more progres- sive one, is how to take from one another so that we might on the other hand learn to unqualifyingly give. This was the philosophy and spirit be- hind Black Awareness Month -- the spirit and cooperation that led to The Dawn of a New Beginning. As part of lazz Day, The Porter Arthur Trio performed for students in the Union Pub. Beverly Bradley models a new fashion in the first annual Fashion Show sponsored by CBS. Diane Smith provided entertainment by sing- ing during the Fashion Show.

Spring Fling Week was celebrated April 20-24 with various competitions, activities and events. Highlights included t-shin days on Monday and Thursday, the College Bowl, the Great Caddo Raft Races, the FHA-sponsored Casino Night and the week-long camival. This year's t-shirt emblem was de- signed by Joe Antonacci, a junior art major from North Little Rock. The logo, featuring a peacock, was offered for sale at the bookstore with a t-shirt discount. Games, sponsored by sororities and fratemities throughout the week, in- cluded competitions in pie eating, tug-o- war, and cow-chip throwing. All the action and excitement of the Old West was discovered by casino-goers on Monday night. Roulette wheel, gam- ing tables, poker and blackjack games and live entertainment by Country and West- WWW em singer Terri Rouse, set the mood for a night of entertainment. Outlaws and Westem heroes were thrown in jail for a brief stay, and were only released after payment of a small bail. Following the games an auction was held, with some items going for thou- sands of dollars Cplay money, of coursej. The College Bowl, with first rounds on Monday aftemoon, featured 16 campus organizations competing in a fierce bat- tle of the brains. The debate team, Pi Kappa Delta, won the College Bowl again this year. A disco with Charlie Hall and the movie Animal House added to the week's festivities. The Caddo River was the site on Wed- nesday aftemoon for the Great Raft Races. Various campus teams, including members of the faculty, competed in the races. Although the water was not as challenging this year as last year, the competition was tough. The baseball team came out ofthe water first to win the raft race. Scott Dunn and Kelli Cotton dance the night away at the disco dance held during Spring Fling week. Students and faculty members turned out for the Great Raft Races.

Spring Fling,l7l Fling Week cont. Thursday night arrived and with it, the man many had been waiting for with eager anticipation for months. Maynard Fergu- son and his band came to campus to per- form before a packed Wells Fieldhouse. Busloads of high school bands and other Maynard fans made the trip to Arkadel- phia to see the accomplished musician who is intemationally known for his hits, Gonna Fly Now fthe theme from Rocky J and the Battlestar Galac- tica theme. The annual Pizza Hut pizza eat-off was the Friday highlight. After the pizza- eating contest, those with Urban Cow- boy fever were in luck. A mechanical bull ride was available for those daring enough, and the UA Cinema did its part as it ran a special late showing of Urban Cowboy, staning John Travolta. Throughout the week a camival set up on Newberry Field gave students and townspeople the chance to try their luck at various skill games and to ride every- thing from a farris-wheel to a miniature roller coaster. Candied apples and cotton candy were also available. The Spring Fling t-shirts were a big hit, and throughout the week the peacock logo was spotted everywhere on campus. Those who waited until late in the week to purchase their shirt were out of luck, as the bookstore sold out of the 375 transfers on Wednesday of Spring Fling week.

L '77 'wa lg, Graduationl77 I I L New eginning In 1981 I The first year of the new decade was most marked by change and by looking to the future as Americans developed new definitions of becoming involved in their country, state, and society. Students, too, were involved in school issues and controversies. .National news continued to cause sur- prises and shocks as it led to changes, sorrows, and triumphs. Nobody could forget that 1980 was an election year, with the longest Presidential campaign in his- tory. Reagan was elected and speculation began as to whether America would begin to move away from its burden of woes toward a new period of prosperity. The nation and the world were shocked in March, however, with the attempted assassination. Reagan was shot in the chest, but recovered quickly to return to the White House. James Brady, presi- dent's press secretary, was shot in the head. A secret service man and a police- man also received gunshot wounds. All four men survived the shots, and we breathed a sigh of relief. The big news day, Tuesday January 20 -- inauguration day for Reagan, but even bigger news than that in the headlines - after 444 days of captivity, the Iranian hostages came home. News from Atlanta continued to be bad in 1980 and throughout the early months of 1981. The killings of young black males seemed endless as the killer or killers con- tinued their reign of terror. April news was highlighted with talk of space shuttles. The shuttle that left Florida and came down three days later at Califomia made a successful trip and landing after two postponements because of computer breakdowns. Mother Nature and the weather were often in the headlines, especially in the summer of 1980. The first eruption at Mount St. Helens in Washington State occurred March 27 and ended June l with an explosion. The once 10,000 foot high mountain now measured 2,000 feet. 1 The long, blistering heat of the droughtul brought endless days of 100-plus temper- atures to much of the country. Cropsi were destroyed and the human death ratet increased daily. Y The census was also big in the newsl surrounded by shouts that the Censusii Bureau's job was inaccurate. Final fig-ti' ures at the end showed a population oftl over 200 million. 7. Women's lib scored a victory in sportsl as Genuine Risk became the first filly inr 65 years to win the Kentucky Derby. p In tennis, Bjom Borg won again att. Wimbledon, while Muhammed Ali lost intl his attempt to regain the worldd heavyweight boxing championship. Al, much younger Larry Holmes defeateddp Ali, making him appear third rate. ' In baseball, George Brett almost broker the .400 batting average barrier. Hee ended the season with a .390 average. In football the Oakland Raiders beatxf 78lStudent Life 5 I i 9 I I the Philadelphia Eagles 21-10 in Super Bowl XV. Tragedy was again in the news in November when fire tore through the MGM Grand Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas. The efforts of firemen and helicopters battling the flames saved many, but 84 were killed and more than 400 injured in the fire. Investigations dis- covered an inadequate alarm system and lack of sprinklers as the cause and sky- scraping hotels across the country-were 'checked for safety. Several other large hotel fires followed, however, in the United States and Mexico. Defeat marred the year for the Razor- backs as the team fell early in the season to Texas and continued to experience a losing season, especially in the Southwest Conference. The Hogs were, however, invited to the Hall of Fame Bowl, and went on to an impressive 35-14 win over Tulane. The Reddies too experienced a disap- pointing football season falling in the AIC ratings and losing the Battle of the Ravine, in a repeat score of last year's OBU game 28-21 - only last year it was a Reddie victory. The field of entertainment brought ex- citement, sorrows, and surprises. The year's major story evolved around the six- month long speculation over, Who shot J.R.? Another cliffhanging mystery, this time a murder, ended the 1981 sea- son. Tragedy struck the Dallas set in late April with the death of Jim Davis. Jock Ewing died at the age of 72. Everyone was asking What will the show do? Most agreed the veteran actor could not have a replacement, but to have Jock's character die on the show. Other legendary Hollywood giants died in 1980, and even though their loss is moumed, the memory of their legend stays on behind them. The man with the raspy voice and prominent nose, Jimmy Durante, died in 1980, as well as Peter Sellers, Steve McQueen, Alfred Hitchcock, and legen- dary sex goddess Mae West. Rock music fans as well as many others mourned the death of John Lennon, murdered in January. A revival of Beatle mania fol- lowed. News of the Academy Awards came home to Arkadelphia and had special meaning to HSU speech professor Ken- neth Gilliam.

We Want You Acad mics Majors from every field of interest came to Henderson to obtain a degree. Each school -business, education, fine arts, liberal arts, and natural sciences and math - wanted every freshman to major in its area. Undecided majors were encouraged by almost every department chairman that their department was the best. Scholarships also encouraged freshmen and other stu- dents to come to Henderson and excel. Margin of Excellence and honor scholarships were awarded to outstanding high school seniors. These scholarships were awarded for a par- ticular tield of study, and on Margin of Excellence Day in April, recipients visited campus and met the faculty within their major. Special interests were answered within each of the schools. Aviation, the only such program in Arkansas, was offered through the School of Natural Sciences and Math. The school also sponsored a spring science fair for high A . -it .. 1 I ., fi ' :. 'V ' ' f . 5 if f' fi' H . . W ....

The members held a reception for the fratemity in celebration of Founders Day. Nationally, Alpha Kappa Psi was the first professional busi- ness fratemity in business. Each year, Alpha Kappa Psi sponsors a formal rush and pledge period for those seeking membership. The organization stresses stu- dent involvement in the business curriculum and provides training for entering into the business world. Business faculty serves the public through conducting con- ferences, presenting lectures, serving on advisory boards and providing consulting services. In November, the Small Busi- ness Development Center QSB DCD officially opened its doors to the small business men in Southwest Arkansas. In an at- tempt to assist small businesses in any way possible free advice and business training were ser- vices offered by the Center. Free consultations with pro- fessional educators are available to small business firms with prob- lems. In addition, short confer- ences are held and various non- credit courses such as account- ing, advertising, tax strategy and other courses which are of spe- cial interest to the public are of- fered. The Henderson SBDC is in part funded by the Small Busi- ness Administration through the University of Arkansas' Indus- trial Research and Extension Center. There are plans for a statewide small business assis- tance program to include centers at Conway, Fayetteville, Jones- boro and Little Rock, as well as the Center in Arkadelphia. Dr. Joe Moore is serving as program director for the SBDC. Most of the faculty members of the School of Business, as well as other faculty members, work with Dr. Moore at the Center. The HSU chapter of SCORE tService Corps of Retired Execu- tivesj is also located at the Cen- ter. The sole purpose of SCORE is to assist the small businessmen through the United States by making counseling services available. The SCORE chapter at HSU is devoted to helping people in Arkadelphia and sur- rounding areas. The SB DC and SCORE chap- ters are located at 1054 Huddles- ton.

A new home economics con- centration in fashion merchandis- ing drew considerable interest. The program offered students the opportunity to discover the na- ture and creation of fashion as well as leaming more about the production of fashion from raw materials to the market. Further study in the fashion program merchandising course emphasized fashion promotion, predictions and careers. Other areas of concentration included influences on fashion, fashion movement and the economic as- pects of the fashion industry. Advanced study gave instruction in marketing and retailing of fash- ion goods, including leather goods, furs, fabrics, and jewelry. Special consideration was given to the planning and promotion of selling fashion merchandise. The newest member of the sociology teaching staff is Dr. Max Portrey. Portrey is an assis- tant professor of sociology and received his Ph.D. in February 1980 from Oklahoma State Uni- versity. At 29 years old, Portrey is younger than some of his stu- dents, but he says he is not in- timidated and believes older stu- dents add to classes by being more willing to talk. During the year School of Education faculty and adminis- tration were involved in an in- depth staff development program aimed at improving teaching and clinical supervision facilities. x M x -xxx .X -K-1-1-l-.m...:um-.nzn.....n. if X o i I ll I xl 1 CLEP tests, mini term and summer school offer students a chance for an . . . The minimum length of time required to complete an academic program toward a degree is four years. But a variety of options are available that allow students to finish sooner, if they are willing to take advantage of these opportunities. Dr. Joe T. Clark, vice president for instruction, lists the primary options as the mini terms, summer school and the College Level Examination program. The mini term takes place for two weeks between the fall and spring semes- ters. According to Clark, 10-12 courses have been offered in the past during the mini term. However, this year only four courses were offered. A number of people take advantage of the mini term for a variety of reasons, says Clark. great many are athletes with eligibility problems. Among HSU students Clark says that many attend the mini term in order to obtain three hours that are needed to graduate on time or even early. The mini term has helped a 'few to graduate early, says Clark. The future of the mini term is uncertain, however, and the program is being evaluated to de- termine whether or not to continue it. It has been successful, Clark says. One hundred students attended the mini term this year. Courses offered in- cluded the Drug Abuse Seminar, which is always offeredg Individual Income Tax, which is taken as an elective or by busi- ness students, and Early Childhood, which included some full-time teachers. Clark says that summer school courses include those from every department ex- cept home economics. Thus, he says, home ec majors who wanted to attend summer school would have to take courses other than in their major area. Since very few campus social activities take place during the summer, the two sessions of five weeks each are primarily for school only - for the student who wants to gain extra hours toward possibly completing his degree earlier. A maxi- mum of 13 hours can be completed by taking advantage of both sessions. Clark says that the number of graduate students who attend during the summer is especially high, but the number of under- Early E cape graduates is significantly lower. The number of graduates goes up as much as one-third, while the undergraduate en- rollment is well below half of that during the regular school year. Reasons for attending summer school vary, according to Clark. Many students like to take advantage of the opportunity to finish earlier, while many students are those who are already teaching and are seeking to obtain a second certification. CLEP is a definite aid in completing a college degree early, says Clark. An upper limit of 24 hours is set that may be gained from the exams, and students de- siring to eam more than 30 hours by examination must secure official permis- sion. This is rare, however, says Clark. The tests work on the basis that the student desiring to obtain credit by exam demonstrates his knowledge of the sub- ject matter and does work that is passing by students who have actually completed the course. Clark says that sample scores are taken across the country from students who have completed the actual course, such as U.S. history. These students take the CLEP test and their scores are compiled to come up with an average passing score of 46-50 on the exams. The most typical student to take the CLEP test, says Clark, is an entering freshman who takes the tests either the summer before he comes to college or even while he's still in high school. The average number of hours for a freshman to CLEP out ofis 9 to 12. Tests are offered by general subject matter in college composition, history, natural sci- ences, fundamental math and humanities. The composition test includes essay writ- ing. The freshman who gets a headstart by taking CLEP tests has a good chance to finish in three to three and a half years, says Clark. He may especially finish sooner by taking advantage of summer sessions plus the CLEP tests. Other students take the CLEP test after gaining knowledge through a work experience or independent study. Clark says one good idea is to study the textbook to that course, as well as the notes of someone who has actually at- tended the class. The student who will study usually can get credit on the exams, Clark says. CLEP tests are given throughout the year and at one time there may be as many as 25 people taking the one and a half hour objective exam. The tests are very well done, says Clark. A CLEP credit survey for 1979-80 re- vealed that in general exams 42 students received 213 hours credit, and in subject areas, 57 students received 278 hours of credit. Clark says there is another option available that gives the opportunity for gaining credit without actually taking the course. If a student believes that either through independent studies or a job ex- perience he has a workable knowledge of a subject, he may go to the instructor and challenge the course. This is especially true in the case of a physical education course such as tennis or volleyball, says Clark. After conferring, the challenging student and instructor usually come up with a plan whereby the student demon- strates his skillsjust as though he's enrol- led in the class. Later he will take the course final exam and upon a satisfac- tory, passing score may gain credit for the course. This is possible also in the area of a home economics course, says Clark. He illustrates the case of a student who chal- lenged a Textiles and Clothing course. The teacher and the student worked out a plan for projects together, the student took the final exam and received credit for the course without ever being enrolled or attending a class. Clark feels students take advantage of the opportunity to finish sooner primarily in order to enter the job market sooner. Others, he says, are interested in entering graduate school earlier than they might have. He adds that many students take ad- vantage of the summer sessions because jobs are often hard to find in the summer. Those who can't find ajob often choose to go ahead and go to school, thus gaining extra hours or possibly working toward an earlier graduation. Mini Term 8L CLEP!9l Everything from Art, Speech, Drama and Music to special projects like Gas for Chas and Captain Henderson's Christmas Tree gave the School of Fine Arts . . .

With an increase in every de- partment, the School of Fine Arts has grown to be one of the largest schools on campus. De- partments within the school are Art, Music, and Oral Communi- cation. The art department, with 91 declared majors, had a 12 percent freshman increase. Areas of study are graphic design, ceram- ics, sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, art history and art education. Activities sponsored by the department include an art sales and promotion program and a statewide art exhibit. The art club, Alpha Rho Tau, also spon- sors various activities during the year. Each year in the spring, the club travels to various cities visit- ing museums. The music department, with 136 declared majors, had a 13 percent freshman increase over last year. Areas of study within the department include instru- mental, voice, keyboard, com- position and theory, music therapy, humanities music and music education. For those interested in singing, the department offers Madrigals, Henderson Singers, Varsity Players, Concert Choir and Chamber Chorale. Most anyone canjoin these ensembles by audi- tioning. Marching band, concert band, jazz band and instrumental en- sembles are offered for those in- terested in instrumental work. Delta Omicron and Phi Mu Alpha are the two music frater- nities in the department. Each year Phi Mu Alpha sponsors a marching band contest for area junior high and high school bands. Delta Omicron's major project is the annual Mock Reci- tal. In April, Delta Omicron and Phi Mu Alpha helped the Joint Educational Consortium sponsor jazz great Maynard Ferguson on campus.

These include also those in social science, public adminis- tration and foreign languages. The English department con- stituted the largest number of ma- jors with 66 students, including five graduate students. Twenty- three students listed English as their minor, with 14 having an English specialization. The psychology department had the next highest number of majors with 51, followed by jour- nalism with 33. Next in order were history, pre-law and politi- cal science. Following were pub- lic administration and foreign languages. The new mass media program begun last year is going well with approximately 20 declared ma- jors. The Bachelor of Arts degree is interdisciplinary, combining courses from five different de- partments within the School of Liberal Arts and Fine Arts. Stu- dents may specialize in jour- nalism, oral communications, or English and are required to take 12 hours from one of these areas. Each year the English De- partment sponsors an Advisory Council for 12 area high schools. English teachers visit the campus and share ideas with faculty here. The department is a member of the Arkansas Poet Circuit, in- itiated by the University of Ar- kansas six years ago. Each year an outstanding poet is selected by member schools to visit classes and give a reading. This year's poet was Raphel Rudnik, appear- ing on campus in September. .. - Ys if l-iilli They practice what they teach Members of the English de- partment faculty practice what they teach. That is, most ofthe 13 instructors and professors are often busy engaged in writing ac- tively outside the classroom. Dr. Wayne McGinnis, profes- sor in freshman composition, American Literature and Recent American Writing, has been called HS U's witty professor. McGinnis is a frequent con- tributor to literary joumals and has had many critical articles published. Recent articles by McGinnis have been published in Notes of Mississippi Writ- ers, and in the Gale Series on Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughter- house Five. Last June McGin- nis' critical article Primitive Sympathy and the Painted Bird appeared in Studies on the Humanities,'.' a publication of the University of Indiana. Dr. Larry Don Frost also con- tributes frequently to joumals and magazines. His article featuring a university biology project was published in an Ar- kansas Game and Fish Commis- sion publication. Another faculty member, Dr. Bennie Bledsoe, has been working on her book on the history of Henderson from 1890-1980. Bledsoe also has sev- eral poems, including a book of poems, published. Other frequent publishers within the department are Dr. Pat Adcock, Dr. David Thom- son, and Dr. Charles Hughes. Hughes published a study guide to American literature. Miss Margaret Shaw was busy during the school year working on her dissertation for her Ph. D. In addition to their outside writings, members of the de- partment are frequently called upon to edit and rewrite for the other university departments.

This year's symposium in March featured Rob Inglis from England con- ducting an enactment of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Each year the department pub- lishes the campus literary magazine, Proscenium, edited by Dr. Larry Don Frost and Dr. Pat Adcock. The magazine included poetry and prose written by stu- dents and faculty. Publications within the jour- nalism department are the Ora- cle, the campus newspaper, and the Star, the yearbook. The spring 1980 edition of the Oracle received the award of All Ameri- can, the highest of tive given by the Associated Collegiate Press. It was the third time in history for the paper to rate All American, previously winning the honor in the fall of 1973 and the spring of 1979. The newly organized Hender- son Society for Collegiate Jour- nalists honored two former jour- nalism graduates in April 1980. Lynne Beeles and Dennis Byrd, the first two journalism gradu- ates, were honored at a banquet at Bowen's Restaurant. The ff' group plans to honor more grad- uates and to bring guest speakers from various media to campus. The Foreign Language De- partment had a new 35-position electronic lab installed, thus en- abling students to listen, repeat and record their own voices. The system is based on cas- sette operation and allows stu- dents to master tapes. This in- struction is given in addition to in-class leaming. In the spring the department sponsored the annual Foreign Language Festival for middle and high school students. Four students were enrolled as Spanish majors while two were French majors. New faculty this year was Annie W. Richerson, part-time Spanish instructor. The psychology department spent a considerable amount of time consulting with students who for various reasons didn't go to the Counseling Center for needed advice. All areas of the Liberal Arts were busy this year with meet- -ings and special events. Mem- bers of the Liberal Arts faculty spoke at a variety of engage- ments.

Computer science, the newest program, was initiated last fall and is still being updated. Fifty- three majors were enrolled in the program which consists of math and business. Students in both branches work on the computers, leaming the language and how to program them. Receiving a B.S. degree in math, students learn a basic program in computer lan- guage, taking calculus and work- ing with numerous figures. With an open curriculum mo- bility in nursing education, the department lists 86 enrolled ma- jors. For students planning to nurse at the professional level, a B.S. degree in nursing is offered. At the end of the semester stu- dents in good standing may re- quest permission to apply for the R.N. license exam. Students in nursing receive clinical experience at facilities in Little Rock and within a 50-mile radius of the campus. These facilities include hospitals, health departments, family practice clinics, nursing homes and re- habilitation centers. Experience is gained also at senior adult cen- ters, nursery schools and public school systems. The Henderson nursing program is approved by the Arkansas State Board of Higher Education to award BSN degree and has received full ap- proval from the State Board of Nursing. In the spring of 1982 the nursing department will be re- viewed by the National League for Nursing for national accredi- tation.

Nationally, the stu- dents were involved in Beta Beta Beta, a national biology club. In September, the department was awarded an 38,500 grant by the Ross Foundation to conduct a land use study of vegetation and animal life on a piece of property owned by the Ross Foundation. The 5,300 acre tract is located in the Little Missouri River bot- toms of Southern Clark County. The study is expected to be com- pleted in May. Conducting the study and doing the actual work are two Henderson graduate students and one undergraduate student. In addition, Dr. Daniel Marsh and Dr. Peggy Dorris, profes- sors of biology, are assisting in the study. The two graduate stu- dents are Tommy Smith, who is also grounds supervisor at the university, and Alan Aitkins. Kent Thomas is the under- graduate biology student helping with the study.

Science and Math!103 Field Training, summer camps, rappelling and basic tactic skills make Military Science and ROTC classes . . . ot Classes at All ii The Military Science Depart- ment had approximately 200 stu- dents enrolled in freshman through senior level courses. Henderson does not offer a major in military science, but students may minor, taking courses from the introduction to the advanced level. Two one-hour courses are of- fered for freshmen in military science. Introduction to Military Science offers students the op- portunity to leam basic leader- ship skills while Hunter Educa- tion and Rifle Markman ship is of- fered through the cooperation of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. At the sophomore level stu- dents may take their first formal course in Army training. Intro- duction to Tactics teaches stu- dents map reading compass reading and other skills. Wyatt Bingham and Bo Hanson teach a class on basic training. While on Field maneuvers, cadets enjoy a c-ration meal. Junior and senior classes are four-hour courses for students who have made a commitment to Army training. Three advanced courses give students firsthand experience at life in the Army. Advanced cadets attend camp at Fort Riley, Kan., each summer to learn to develop fundamental skills and leadership while re- ceiving hands-on training and gaining their first real experience at leadership. Other summer camp programs offered advanced course in air- borne schools where students learned to jump out of airplanes and rappel from helicopters. Cadet Troop Leadership Train- ing is another summer camp pro- gram offering students the chance to go straight from camp to an Army unit. Here, cadets spend three weeks as an officer at the third lieutenant level. Several cadets from HSU participated in the CTLT program during the summer.

Students participate each year in the program, qualifying for the advanced program. The Military Science department is active each year with various activities. The department provides the color guard for home football games, and coaches and runs the school rifle team. Burke's Raiders, a tactical training group, is also sponsored by ROTC. The group is named in honor of Col. Lloyd Burke, a HSU graduate who won the Congressional Medal of Honor in the Korean War. Members participate in hiking and military tactics and study the use of mili- tary weapons. In other activities the depart- ment sponsored two trips during the year to the Buffalo River for a float trip and went to Fort Sill, Okla., in the fall for an orienta- tion trip. Weekend activities during the year included rappeling classes and many other outdoor teaching courses. Captain Tom Copeland stresses that the department fol- lows the ROTC motto of Some of our classrooms aren't class- rooms at all, in sponsoring many outdoor courses.

An Experience In Learning Anything from information for term papers to best sellers to magazines and newspapers can be found in Huie Library. More than 200,000 items, in- cluding non-print items such as lilmstrips and microfilm, were available for use, according to Dr. Garry Warren, associate professor of library science and director of the Leaming Re- source Center. In addition, ap- proximately 8,500 items are added each year. These items in- clude both book and non-print such as records and tapes. Under a cooperative acquisi- tions agreement, Riley Library at Ouachita Baptist University ac- quires materials in certain sub- -ject areas that the Huie Library does not duplicate. Students at Henderson are encouraged to use the facilities and materials at Riley as well as at Huie. The cooperative agreement extends to weekend library ser- vice as well. The HSU-OBU Li- brary Consortium provides Saturday service at Riley while Sunday library service is offered by Huie. Students entering the library find the circulation department and reference section. Other ser- vices found on the first -floor are the card catalogs, sectioned under titles, authors and sub- jects, copying machine and media. The reference section includes encyclopedias, dictionaries, tel- ephone directories from across the nation, and periodical and newspaper indexes. Another feature found on the first floor is the Arkansas Room: a collection of books, articles and other information pertaining to the state. Many books included here are written by Arkansans. Books with Dewey Decimal numbers from 000 to 800, includ- ing fiction books, best sellers and those on the curriculum, are on the second floor. The Atrium Gallery is also lo- cated on the second floor. Each year various art exhibits by both local artists and from across the nation are shown in the Gallery. The third floor is the location for magazines and newspapers, microfilm collections and equip- ment, juvenile books and cir- culating books with Dewey numbers in the 900's. Newspap- ers from surrounding towns as well as major newspapers such as The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal are available .for students to read. Books are checked out for two to three weeks depending on the checkout date and are always due back in on Wednesdays. In addition to other services, Huie Library provides an interli- brary loan service and oB'ers nonprint media and computer- ized literature searches. Under the Interlibrary Loan Service materials that are not owned by Huie may be requested from other institutions through the library secretary or reference librarian. Nonprint media in- cludes video tapes, records, filmstrips, and slides. Periodical indexes such as Chemical Abstracts and the New York Times Index may be scanned by computer. The staff of the library stresses that it is always ready to help make the library work for those who ask. It says that using the library should not be torture. If used ef- fectively, the library can be an experience in leaming and en- joyment. Ianet Langly, a freshman from Dierks, gets comfortable by kicking 08' her shoes while studying in the library.

Organizations Divlslonll ll Academic, service, professional and honorary organizations want students . . . Alphi Chi is a co-educational society whose purpose is to promote academic excellence and commendable character. First organized at HSU on March 24, 1953, Alpha Chi recognizes juniors and seniors with a 3.5 or higher grade point and who are in the top 10 percent of their class. Initiation ceremonies were held in Feb- ruary with 25 new members inducted. A special project for Alpha Chi this year was sponsoring a memory skills class. This class was formed to help stu- dents leam how to commit a long list of things to memory. Sponsors of Alpha Chi are Dr. Waldo Dalstedt and Dr. William Gentry. ' National professional business frater- nity, Alpha Kappa Psi, provided busi- In olved ness majors the opportunity to discuss ideas and promote interest in the field of business. David Jones, president of Alpha Kappa Psi, says that the big difference between this fraternity and other profes- sional fraternities is that Alpha Kappa Psi is a more personal, intimate organization. The fratemity is co-educational and democratic in form. Jones says, People get to know each other well. One's own best friend is often a member, too. Making business our pleasure is a motto of Alpha Kappa Psi, and Hender- son's Iota Chi chapter was no exception as it participated in various campus events. Teams from Alpha Kappa Psi com- peted in intramurals and in the Spring Fling raft races on the Caddo River. Be- sides their Alpha Kappa Psi activities, members also participated in many other campus activities including varsity sports, social fratemities and sororities, performing arts, religious and political organizations and student govemment. Members of Alpha Kappa Psi go through a pledge program similar to sev- eral other campus fraternities. Two pledge classes, one in the fall, and one in the spring, are inducted each year. Ac- cording to Jones, pledges must keep a pledge book, obtain members signatures and never let the book out of their sight. Alpha Kappa Psi pledges can often be seen wearing gold and blue letters and pledge pin over their heart. tconr. page ll-0 l 1 1 Alpha Chi ofliceis are front: Mandy McCoy, Karen Bailey.

We instill school spirit about Henderson as well as Alpha Kappa Psi. In addition, pledges pick a big brother who protects the pledge and befriends him. Following the pledge period, mem- bers and pledges celebrate the big event of the semester, The Yellow Rose Initia- tion Banquet and Dance. Guest speaker for this year's banquet was Eddie Amold, former member of the HSU business fac- ulty. Mrs. Lillian Brickhouse, secretary for the school of business, was the guest of honor. Alpha Kappa Psi members also par- ticipate in helping improve campus condi- tions for faculty and students. Business faculty members are often treated to cookies and other goodies supplied by Alpha Kappa Psi in the Mooney faculty lounge. The study lounge on the third floor of Mooney is open to all students, and was provided for through the efforts of Alpha Kappa Psi. A spring fund-raiser for the fraternity was the donation of a 19-inch color televi- sion. The Psychology Club provided the op- portunity for students with similar inter- ests to interact. The special purpose of the Psychology Club was to serve the interests of psy- chology majors through the providing of information regarding graduate programs in psychology. Other items of focus have included the Graduate Record Exam, tutoring and field trips to graduate schools in psychology. Members traveled to the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville during the fall As part of Alpha Kappa Psi's homecoming activ- ity Susan Martin, a busiess management major from Cherokee Village, strikes an old car during a car bash sponsored by Alpha Kappa Psi. semester to view the facilities there. Regularly scheduled meetings were held with Dr. Wayne Slife often serving as guest speaker. Slife is a member of the psychology faculty. A highlight of the spring semester was the chili social. Members also planned a field trip to Southem Methodist Univer- sity to study graduate programs and an end-of-the-semester picnic. The major project this year for the Sociology Club was collecting canned foods for needy people during the Christmas season. The main purpose of the Sociology Club is to further interest students in the field of sociology and social work and to deal with current problems of the nation today. l I 3 l l Among the activities this year for they club were a chili supper and guest speakerl on job perspectives for the sociologist andt social worker. The club gives me a chance to talk to-I professionals about all aspects of sociall work, said club member Annette Wood-ll ruff.

Acedemic Organizationsll I5 Music Therapy ll ii I lf il it People helping people through a happy medium - music Henderson's music therapy depart- ment, with its unique curriculum, is the only such program of its kind in Arkan- sas. The program is unique in that the music therapy major meets not only the re- quirements necessary to become a music therapist, but also meets the require- ments for Arkansas teacher certification in music education. As a result, more job opportunities become available for music therapy majors. C. Wayland Lankford, a registered music therapist, heads the music therapy department. Lankford, who graduated from the University of Kansas in 1974, became interested in music therapy after reading an encyclopedia article. He came to HSU to teach after graduating from college and practicing music therapy. Most music therapy students discover the field of music therapy much the same way Lankford did. Kathy Hall, a sopho- more music therapy major from Little Rock, said she discovered music therapy by reading an article in Seventeen magazine. Other students discover music therapy' by seeing pictures, hearing peo- Melissa McElhannon works with a client using a guitar to help him with music. l l6!Organizations ple talk, or by actually meeting a regis- tered music therapist. Two of Lankford's former students are now practicing music therapy in Arkan- sas. The National Association for Music Therapy sets the requirements for study, and also looks for certain qualifications in potential music therapists. According to the Association, interested students should be patient, tactful and understand- ing. They should also have an imagina- tive, creative and innovative mind. Other qualifications listed by the Asso- ciation include the ability to work well with others, understand frustration, and a genuine desire to help others. Almost every music therapy major is asked at least once what music therapy is. It is the use of music in the accomplish- ment of therapeutic aims: the restoration, maintenance and improvement of mental and physical health. At Henderson, Lankford's students receive,book knowledge in psychology, music and physical disorders. In addi- tion, they obtain a hands-on learning ex- perience. In one class students leam how to play different instruments including the guitar, autoharp, recorder and a variety of percussion instruments. Once a week students participate in a practicum with a local agency. Clients include childhood developmental dis- abilities, adult developmental disabilities, t and Senior citizens visiting a day activity center. Other clients in practicums are nursing home residents and emotionally T disturbed children. Some students also observe and assist at the Arkadelphia unit i of the Arkansas Children's Colony. t This client experience aids the future 1 therapist in knowing what to expect and lf, what to do in a particular situation. . Practicum planning includes evaluating 1 a variety of resourses in order to choose ' an activity most beneficial to the client. The music, ranging from classical to the latest disco song, is used to teach, and it recreation purposes. The therapist chooses music that will create a mood, but does not impose his own musical tastes on the client. Although Henderson's music therapy department is small, it is growing, and Lankford says there is always room for more growth. The program's smallness enables Lankford and his students to ex- perience one-to-one interaction, and has drawn several students to HSU. Music therapy is people helping people through the use of a source everyone en- joys - music. Therapists often find themselves frustrated, but even the smallest positive client reaction can make all the frustration worthwhile. Music Therapy students Iulia Alexander, Kali Green, Sherri Bradsher, Bryan Ayers, Kathy Hall, Terri Martindale and Wayland Lankford dem- onstrate new percussion instruments during a workshop. Music Therapy students include: Kathy Hall, Melissa McElhannon, Kati Green, Bryan Ayers, Terri Martindale and Diane Matheson. Kathy Hall works with Iames Cody on a per- cussion instrument during a clinical in Day Armory. Music Therapyll I7 Music Fraternities lnvolvedwm- Professional music fratemity for men Phi Mu Alpha was chartered in 1968 with the purpose of promoting music all over the world. The fraternity conducted rush in the fall with pledges going through an active pledge period. Pledges wore plastic worms and once again sang The Worm Song as part of rush. Phi Mu Alpha pledges were featured as ballerinas in the annual fall Delta Omi- cron Mock Recital. In October Phi Mu Alpha sponsored the annual marching contest for high school bands from Arkansas and Texas. Arkadelphia High School took sweep- stake honors this year. The HSU Jazz Festival for high school bands was also sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha in the spring. In cooperation with the Student Ac- tivities Board and the joint Education Consortium, Phi Mu Alpha brought fam- ous big band trumpeteer Maynard Fergu- son to campus in April during Spring Fling. Admission was free to the concert which brought high school bands and other Ferguson fans from across Arkan- sas and from surrounding states. Chartered on campus in 1967, Delta Omicron, the professional music frater- nity for women, was dedicated to service in the name of music's influence on life enrichment. Members held bake sales during Fine Arts Day in the fall, as well as at Choir festivals and the Phi Mu Alpha Marching Contest. The Alpha Lambda Chapter of Delta Omicron once again hosted the Delta Omicron Mock Recital in the fall with Phi Mu Alpha pledges as featured entertain- ment. Appearing at this year's recital was Richard Nixon Calias Charles Rye, as- l 181 Organizations sociate professor of musicj. The Fall Follies also featured Les Pack, Barry Martindale, Bryan Ayers, DeHaan Thornton as the Roadhog Band, Barbara WaWa and Dolly Parton Calias Sharla Nichols and Kathy Buchnolzerj and HSU's own comedian Tom Strait. The voice majors introduced the audience to Ottman's Tabernacle of Faith, featur- ing Bro. Bob Ottman and his partwriting rules. Delta Omicron members assisted Phi Mu Alpha with the April Maynard Fer- guson concert and also helped the March- ing Contest and Fine Arts Day. Membership is open to anyone inter- ested in music, but prospective members must have at least three hours in some music course. Pledging takes place in the spring with pledges required to present a recital before members as part of inita- tion. Kathy Hall, a junior music therapy major from Little Rock, pledged Delta Omicron in the spring. She says, You learn more about music and can teach others about music. It is also a chance to get to know your fellow musicians. wr aw A Sam Gasso displays the proper way to play the trombone in Delta Omicron's annual Mock Reci- tal.

Delta Omicron - Phi Mu Alpha!ll9 .LH .Q a.. ma-....14:.u.mL.in4n.' -' Whether student chose Henderson Singers, Chamber Chorale, Opera, Jazz Band or Marching Band they were . . . Mu ic Maker The concept of the Concert Choir was changed this year as the University Chorus and the Concert Choir merged to form one larger group. Charles Rye, director of HSU choral activities, said there were two main rea- sons why the two groups were reor- ganized and the Concert Choir replaced the University Chorus as the largest choral group on campus. First, he says there was a need for a larger base group combining all the smaller ones for concert purposes. The second reason stems from the fact that those auditioning for Chamber Cho- rale, Madrigals or the Henderson Singers must now be a member of the larger Con- cert Choir. According to Rye, stronger and more select voices are combined to strengthen the Choir. The Concert Choir performed Han- del's Messiah and Mozart's Re- quiemf' A trip to Europe is planned for this summerfor choir members. The group will travel to Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria during its 15-day stay. Mike Salkeld, a freshman voice major from North Little Rock, says the trip will be a leaming experience, and both a mu- sical and cultural education. Salkeld says the group will be singing in churches in Italy, Germany and France that are older than American churches, and will perform at two chapels in Italy. Four days will be spent in Paris and three in Rome as part of the trip's highlights, says Salkeld. The Concert Choir performs a Christmas concert in Fines Arts Auditorium. l70!Organizations U t'We will sing in the best opera houses in the world, says Salkeld. The hotels will be quite different from those in America. In order to raise money for the trip, choir members hosted a Children's Car- toon Festival and participated in a Walk-a-Thon. In April the group spon- sored a late movie, Prom Night, and a late-late movie, Star Wars. The Choir worked to raise 51.000, and individual members contributed 51,500 of their own money. Anyone who enjoys singing is urged to try out for the Choir, which allows one credit hour per semester. A new group this year was the Cham- ber Chorale, a select group of 20 vo- calists, tive on each pan. Rye says that this group concentrates on a more elite. classical style of music. The Chamber Chorale performed at two campus concerts as well as perform- ing with the Henderson Singers for high schools across the state. Sopranos for the Chamber Chorale were Sharon Strackbein, Cindy Duckett, Lisa Hinds, Kati Green and Joyce Smallwood. Camille Allen, Julia Williams, Donna Woolf, Karen Kuyper and Melissa McElhannon sang alto in the Chamber Chorale, while tenors were Phillip Noel, David Cooper, Marcus Chaney, Kevin Taylor. and Alvin Turner. Basses were Greg Lucas, Mike Stew- art, Tom Strait. and Strum.

The ability to sight read well was an important requirement for the Chamber Chorale members, ac- cording to Rye. The Madrigals, a small group of 15 singers, specialized in a cappella singing and accompanied by a harpsicord at the annual Madrigal Feaste. The Feaste was again celebrated in December this year as a three-day event to highlight the Christmas season in Ar- kadelphia. Madrigals members dressed in Old English costumes and participated in the traditional Wassail toast. The Madrigals performed Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly and Boar' s Head Carol before serving ofthe guests. Dinner entertainment included the court jesters, juggling, mime acts, Old Englishe dances and music. Dinner was followed with flaming plum pudding for all. The Madrigals sang We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and performed an after din- ner concert. Attendance for the three nights of singing and feasting was 400, including students, Arkadelphia townspeople and area high school Madrigal groups. During the Christmas season Madrigal members also performed at the home of President Garrison and at the nursing home. Mike Salkeld said the group always gave 100 percent. He added that he didn't feel dressing in tights as part of the Old English costume was as bad as it might seem. D He felt the Feaste was fun and said, It's like a production of a play in music. The Henderson Singers entered their second year with a new format. A pri- mary goal for the 10-member group was performing at area high schools as public relations for the University. Diane Balay served as choreographer. The Singers performed in February at the 1981 Pops Concert, In the Mood. Marsha Rickett, a sophomore voice major from Gurdon, was featured as solo- ist for the opening number. Other num- bers were Still featuring Donna Woolf. a junior voice major from Gurdon, and The Choral Selection from West Side Story, with soloist Greg Lucas, a junior general business major from Hot Springs.

Opera singers also added to campus en- tertainment with fall and spring perfor- mances. The Opera Theatre performed Amahl and the Night Visitors by Menotti at Christmas time. The one-act opera told the story of a small crippled boy and his special gift of love for the Christ child. The spring performance of Opera Theatre was The Prodigal Son by De- bussy. Dr. Thomas Bolton of Ouachita joined Dr. Theresa McRee and Eugene Kuyper of the HSU music faculty for the performance.

Playing his rendition of Foggy Mountain Break- down, freshman Chuck Hughes added that down home feeling to the hand's country show. 1281 Organizations Practice for marching season began in late August for the 90 members of the HSU Marching Band under the direction of Wendell Evanson. Ed Grissom, a senior music-instrumental major from Malvem, led the band during half-time performances. Early practices were held at Newberry Field, but as one band member said, The field just had too many holes and not enough grass. Practice was then held down the hill at Wells. Daily practices and Saturday morning sessions came together to build half-time performances at all home games. At each game the announcer's familiar voice in- troduced the band with the favorite line, The Showband of Arkansas, and the fans watched as the Reddie band went into its own form of field action. The field pattems performed by the band were designed to be pleasing to the eye, and the resulting crowd applause and standing ovations were pleasing to the players' ears. Each visiting school felt that Hender- son spirit as the band delivered That Old Reddie Spirit, and each visitor also en- joyed the extraordinary twirling style of Greg Burton, a senior music-instrumen- tal major from Arkadelphia. Tom Strait was featured as a soloist trumpeter at many games. The University of Arkansas-Monti- cello game brought something different to the band's halftime show. Banjo playing and square dancing were featured in Henderson's version of country and bluegrass. Chuck Hughes, a freshman music- instrumental major from Arkadelphia, performed on the banjo, while Cowboy Roy Cooper, a freshman nursing major from Texarkana, left the stands to join the band for some knee-slapping, foot- stomping square dancing. A similar performance was offered dur- ing halftime ceremonies at the Homecom- ing game. A change was added with the performance of The Charleston, as members of the War Years Alumni danced to the tune In The Mood. A new cadence designed by the percus- sion section of the band featured a per- cussion interlude. At the end of the interlude a huge groan was heard from the band and the fans in the stands. The groan, which was heard all over the stadium, roused the players, as well as the band and fans, to help boost spirit and get everyone excited. The band was impressive in perfor- mance and helped to build spirit from the first march across the hill to the final tunes of That Old Reddie Spirit, at the close of every game.

The work wasn't always easy but it was a job that had to be done and those who worked in these areas found themselves constantly striving to keep up the pace. Oracle and Star staff members discov- ered that while most students have after- noons free to watch their favorite soap operas or just to goof off, their duty was to work in the office or dash around campus chasing down the next interview or picture. The controversy of last year's dormi- tory issues and buming of the papers was missing from Oracle headlines this year, but the student-edited publication con- tinued to come out faithfully each Friday. Traditions, changes and awards were key factors during the year for the Oracle staff. Despite complications and press breakdowns at the Daily Siftings Herald, the 16-page Homecoming edition was published in November after long hours of work by editors and staff members. It was hard to get up at 5:30 a.m. and be at the Siftings by 6:30 a.m. said third semester assistant editor Diane West. After missing one class I stayed until early aftemoon to finish the layout. But we finally finished. In the spring COHICSIS of the Arkansas Ianet Burlie and Gracie Spears proof read copy before doing the final layout on a yearbook spread. 1301 Organizations College Publications Association, the Oracle was the only newspaper to place both in General Excellence and Sweepstakes, taking second in both. In the General Excellence categories, the Oracle captured first place in content and coverage, writing and editing, and design. It took second in opinion content. Scott Steele took first in editorial car- toons and sports news and second in sports column and general column. Steve Fellers won first in photography, Diane West second in newswriting, Sherry Johnson third in interviews, and David Mayo honorable mention in editorial writ- mg. In early October Dr. Claude Sumerlin, adviser, received notice that the spring 1980 issues of the Oracle had eamed an All-American rating, the third in its his- tory. Previous times were the fall of 1973 and the spring of 1979. I believe these awards are an indica- tion ofa hard-working staff , commented Dr. Sumerlin. The paper is student- edited and they deserve all the credit. The Star, too, remained in the winning tradition with the 1980 book receiving a second-place award from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Many long hours were spent in the Star ofiice on the second floor of the Union as staff members wrote copy, drew layouts, and discussed everything from clubs and class problems to yearbooks and life in general. Sometimes the trials of deadlines and the pressures of the work became too much and arguments broke out, but it was all a part of the routine of trying to get the book finished on time. Sometimes it seemed like it would never all come together as pictures were needed that weren't there and quotes of just the right ending were missing for a spread, commented editor Marty Smith. Finally, though, pages were complete and sent off to the publisher. But there were still pages and pages more to be done before all the work was complete. Long aftemoons spent in the office often extended into the evening hours, and sur- passed those of work study. Aftemoons and evenings were busy times, too, for staff members of KSWH- FM. Cooperation was important as shifts were taken, and sometimes exchanged with other staff members when conflicts arose. The staff for the noncommercial, non- profit station was comprised of students enrolled in broadcasting classes, and some faculty members. The station, lo- cated at 91.1 on the dial, is owned and operated by Henderson State University, and operates from 12-18 hours a day. wok., 'N'un....,Q' 1 553 v.,.f .wp- K ,-,: , A, ' ,v . .pv- ,.

The Federal Communication Commis- sion dictates that the station must oiTer a service for public education and supply something that other stations don't offer. KSWH's format, thus, is primarily jazz. A little of everything is offered, however, including bluegrass, classical and opera. From 9-12 p.m. the station plays Top 40. Evening disc jockey Jeff Hunt said working at the station was about the most interesting thing he had done while at school. JeH' plays mostly rock from 9-12 p.m. on Wednesday nights. Dr. Ed Ryland, station manager, an- nounced permission for a wattage in- crease this year from 10 watts to 6400. The wattage increase will allow the sta- tion to serve a wider area and is scheduled to be completed by December, 1981. The new transmitter will be located on top of Smith Hall, and when the wattage in- crease is complete, the HSU station will be the second largest public education station in the state. Arkansas State Uni- Artliur Devine talks to listeners during his air shjh. l32! Organizations versity in Jonesboro operates at 100,000 watts and there are several other 10-watt stations in the state. A new service for the station this year was the coverage of men's basketball games. KSWH aired those games not covered by Arkadelphia station KVRC, and plans to cover all of next year's games. Once again all major women's basketball games were aired by KSWH. The station also covered HSU baseball games and aired local news. Covering men's basketball games for the first time proves more ditiicult than anticipated, said sports director Scott Steele. A line had to be added to Wells Center to allow broadcasting over the telephone, announcers had to be found prior to the season, and going to the away games without a budget added to the problems. Overall, putting the games on the air was worth the trouble to supply Henderson with top sports coverage of the Reddie teams. Station workers and other students as well have often wondered why the call letters KSWH, instead of KHSU are used. After a little investigation, station staff members discovered that the letters stand for School With a Heart. Although this is a little unusual in view of the fact that most other college stations use the school's abbreviation, it made the Hen- derson station unique. Oracle, Star, and KSWH-FM staff members all worked during the year to bring the news, a record of the year, and more news and entertainment to stu- dents, faculty and administration, as well as the surrounding community. The work was trying at times, but it was rewarding too, and somehow the news continued to come out through the efforts of student media.

The Nursing Department, under the School of Natural Sciences and Mathe- matics, offers an open curriculum mobil- ity in nursing education. The department offers a Bachelor of Science degree for those who plan to do nursing at the pro- fessional level. Under the mobility program, students with no nursing education background enter as freshmen and follow a sequence pattem for four years. Students who are registered nurses and hold a nursing diploma may enter nursing the second semester of the junior year upon comple- tion of the prerequisite education courses. Those who hold an Associate Degree in Nursing are allowed to transfer 64 credit hours and may also enter HSU as a junior in order to complete upper division work toward a baccalaurate degree. Licensed Practical Nurses may enter the HSU program while taking pre- requisite education courses. Upon com- pletion of these courses the first level of Nursing may be challenged so that the student can move on to Level II nursing, beginning with Nursing Process II B. Lynn Gregory, a junior Nursing stu- dent from West Helena, is one of the stu- dents who entered the program as a regis- tered nurse. Nancy Bell, a junior who commutes from Little Rock, says she came to Hen- derson because as a four-year program it is the best for her. Nancy transferred from the University of Central Arkansas at Conway and says she was glad to discover that the Hender- son program accepts credits from other schools. She says, This program allows me to work while going to school. Nancy worked full-time as a Licensed Practical Nurse from 3-11 p.m. at the Baptist Med- ical Center in Little Rock. Henderson nursing students partici- pate in established programs of health care programs in Arkadelphia and area hospitals. The Biology Club reogranized in Feb- ruary after a year and a half of inactivity. First organized in 1968, the club had 25 charter members, including faculty. Dr. Kelly Oliver was the first sponsor. Membership in the Biology Club is open to anyone interested in biology. Members are not required to be biology majors. Biology club members worked with the Science Fair held in March for high school students. Sherri Johnson, a sophomore biology major from Waldron, said one of the most exciting projects for the club was the weekend camp-out at Lake De Gray in April. The Chemistry Club worked with the Biology Club in running nets on the lake to catch fish for the fish fry. She added that they stayed up all night run- ning the nets every few hours.

The Student Government Association is the representative body for students on campus. The 33-seat association repre- sents students regarding University is- sues. SGA passes resolutions and votes on issues regarding policies and problems conceming students. The association was led this year by Lisa Saltzman. Lisa, a write-in candidate, defeated Phillip Freeman in a run-off election to win the office of president. I was a little green to begin with, but with some help of my executive council, I made it through the year, commented Lisa. One of the major issues that came up during the year included a possible tuition increase. The senate voted to pass a reso- lution asking the Board of Trustees to postpone any increase because of the fi- nancial hardship it would put on students. Along' with the resolution, senate mem- bers also provided students with petitions to sign giving more student support. More than 1500 signatures were secured. Another major issue concemed the re- viewing of University scholarship policies. Several questions were raised conceming athletic, academic and per- formance scholarships. The senate formed a committee to look into this mat- ter with the University financial aid committee. Although it may take some time before any decision will be made, or action taken, the senate continues to pursue this matter. The Miss Henderson Pageant was once again a major project for the associa- tion. SGA senators were responsible for the publicity, production, and staging of the pageant held in early April. A country and westem theme was fea- tured this year as nine girls competed for the title of Miss HSU. Julia Williams, a senior sociology major from Prattsville, was crowned the new Miss HSU. 1361 Organizations Pageant highlights included entertain- ment by Lencola Sullivan, Miss Arkan- sas l980, Billy Tarpley, and Terri Rouse and Chuck Hughes. Master of cere- monies this year was Chuck Smith, host of KSLA-TV's PM Magazine. SGA also helped with the Gas for Chas campaign and donated money to the hospital fund. SGA ended the year with a banquet in Caddo. Out-going members were hon- ored while newly elected members were sworn in. Newly elected SGA president, Greg Morrison, presented out-going president Lisa Saltzman a plaque for her year' s ser- vice. The Student Activity Board had a major I responsibility this year as it was in charge I of all entertainment for students. Work- ing in cooperation with SGA, SAB I brought movies, coffeehouses and con- certs to campus. In one of the earliest events, Barry Drake, singer-composer, came all ther way from the Catskills to Hendersonu State to perform in the pub.

Spring Fling activities included the camival of games and rides on Newberry field, the College Bowl for campus organizations, the movie Animal House, raft races on the Caddo River and a disco. In an effort to encourage more student participation, leaders changed RHA casino night from Friday to Monday night. Promoting the Reddie Spirit was once again the major concem of Heart and Key. Heart and Key is a service organization whose membership is limited to 15 male and 15 female members. Membership is determined on a point system. Points are eamed by working in concession stands at football and basketball games and at track events. Interested students may also earn points through working at the annual Awards Day ceremony and at the Pine Tree Speech. Dedicated to helping and serving, Heart and Key contributes to various scholarships and organizations. The group gives S l .000 to the Margin of Excel- lence program and also contributes to the Bobby Reese Memorial Scholarship, Group Living and the Special Olympics. Heart and Key members Annette Reeser and An- nette Woodruff work in the concession stand at the stadium during the Special Olympics. Heart and Key responded to a call for help from the senior football players this year to change the format of selection of the Homecoming court. Heart and Key conducted a contest in which spirit points were earned by cam- pus organizations and individual girls running for maid. Points were eamed by showing Reddie Spirit through banners and skits at pep rallies and sponsoring activities during Homecoming week.

Making campus life the best it can be was the primary emphasis of the Resi- dence Hall Association. RHA sponsored various events during the year for stu- dents' enjoyment and also worked to bring improvements in campus housing. This year the name of the Great Races was changed to the Hall Olympics. The excitement of events and competition began at Arkansas Hall as a torch was lighted and carried to Newberry Field. Events of wheel-barrow races, shopping cart races, three-legged races, egg tosses and the Garrison Handicap pitted teams of residence halls against one another. A new project this year was the 7 o'clock reports, featuring guest lecturers on topics of appeal to students. RHA president Annette Woodruff said, The University of Illinois demonstrated what the 7 o'clock report was all about and I thought it would be great for our cam- pus. Topics discussed during the re- ports included Dr. Erwin Janek, who demonstrated the meaning of dreams, and Dr. Max Portrey, who showed students what their handwriting means, as well as speaking on numerology. The highlight of the fall semester was the eighth annual Carol of Lights held in December. RHA members and volun- teers worked all day folding sacks, filling them with sand and placing them on the sidewalks in front of McBrien, Arkansas Hall and Huie Library.

The HSU Gospel Choir was active dur- ing the year, singing at various churches in the Arkadelphia community. The group also received a certificate of appre- ciation this year from the National Bap- tist Student Union Retreat in Atlanta, Ga. The national retreat is the highlight of our year, says Kenneth Harris, assis- tant professor of education and faculty sponsor of the choir. But we enjoy sing- ing in churches all over the state. The Gospel Choir is very vivacious, very dynamic, says Harris. We do more contemporary gospel music, more sophisticated than the traditional, requir- ing a high level of performance ability. We try to get the music up off the page. We would try to convey the message of the song rather than just trying for the hymn effect. The choir began in 1974 when a group of students got together to sing for a Black Gospel Night as part of the Black Awareness Week. The choir be- came more permanent when the Baptist Student Union sponsored it. In 1980 it became a separate campus organization. Although the group still uses the BSU facilities. The choir is open to all HSU students. Lois Johnson serves as student director, assisted by pianist Jackie Toney. Rodney Williams is the group's percussionist, and Michael Crutchfield plays bass.

' ' M' x' ' It's Greek To When they first came to school most students wondered what all those strange letters on T-shirts across campus meant. Was it some strange, new foreign lan- guage, or a secret code known only to a select few? It wasn't long, however, be- fore they knew that the letters were Greek letters, and that the owner of the T-shirts was also known as a Greek. Greeks, especially pledges were easily recognizable in the fall as pledging was taking place. Every pledge had to go through a pledge period and carry his own little black pledge book. Sorority pledges wore glittered banners, and fratemity pledges had their paddles. Pledges were seen carrying other items as well. Some of them seemed a little un- l50!Organizations usual for a college student to be carrying. but it was all a part of pledging a particular sorority or fratemity. Each had its own unique pledge period and its own unique style. Some fratemity pledges carried shorts to be signed, while others carried rolls of toilet paper. Sorority pledges carried teddy bears in a wide variety of sizes or Raggedy Ann dolls. Some sorority pledges had a white duck, a green anchor. or a sprig of ivy. Parties, walk-outs, struggling through pledging and learning the Greek alphabet were all a part of the unique Greek way of ' life. Pledging was sometimes difficult, but when it was over the pledge had a new home with a new set of brothers and sis- ters. Sorority members did find a new home away from home. as girls who had moved into Smith or Turrentine late in August moved into Holly, Oaks or Pines after accepting a bid. Greeks were also involved in charity drives and fund-raising. Sororities spon- sored parties for residents of Group Liv- ing, while both fraternity and sorority members helped with fund drives such as the Twin Rivers Medical Center and did volunteer work. The Greek way of life was unique, fun and rewarding for those who chose to be- come Greek, and for many the Greek life was the only way of life.

Eleven fraternity members jumped until they were ex- hausted as they competed with organizations in Jump for Heart sponsored by the Heart and Lung Association. Those participating secured pledges from students and the community for how many minutes an individual or or- ganization could jump con- tinuously for three hours. By the end of the competition, the Sigmas as well as other participants had developed many new ways ofjumping. In another project, frater- nity members sponsored an Easter egg hunt at the Arkan- sas Children's Colony. Color- ful eggs were hidden at several places around the colony by the Sigmas, who then assisted the children in the hunt. Service projects weren't the only activities sponsored by the fraternity. The Sigmas sponsored a Founder's Day Banquet and Ball in December at the Ar- kadelphia Bowen's Restau-T rant, and several record shops in the Day Armory. The rec- ord shops offered students az chance to break the monotony' of everyday campus life. Seven men pledged the. fraternity this year after at- tending informal and formall smokers. Phi Beta Sigma members are Larry Harris, Larry Todd, Thomas Carterg Cliff Harris, Carl Anderson and Greg Lemons. r 1.

Intramural sports followed fall rush and, the Phi Lambs finished as Greek football and volleyball champs. Showing their Reddie Spirit, fraternity members rode bicycles to the Univer- sity of Central Arkansas - Henderson game in Conway, carrying the game ball. This pre-homecoming event was soon followed with the drum beat held during Homecoming week for 48 hours. The beat of the drum signifies the Reddie heartbeat. With the Reddie Spirit alive, it meant a sure victory. The Phi Lambs placed sec- ond inthe Homecoming Spirit competition, with Connie Berry representing the frater- nity in the royalty. Members of Phi Lamb in- troduced cock-fights to cam- pus on Spook Day. Alan Saylor and Larry Crawford were the stars of this event. A look into the future took place at the end-of-the-world party held in Conway. Frater- nity members and their dates dressed as they thought they would be at the end of the world. The annual Spring Out- ing was another highlight of the year for the Phi Lambs.

Participating in various ac- tivities and events on campus and in the community kept members very active during the year. As a Homecoming project, Phi Sigs sold and delivered corsages to students on cam- pus. ' Service projects included sponsoring a cottage at the Children's Colony and hold- ing various games and ac- tivities for the residents. The Cancer Foundation benefited from a six-hour bike-a-thon through the Ar- kadelphia area. This activity was organized by fratemity member Alan Bland. Participating in intramural sports was another activity for fratemity members. Phi Sigs won tirst place in softball and second place in volleyball. This year's Christmas Formal was held at the Mas- terhost Inn in Texarkana. A Westem Dance was held in March for members and their dates. The annual Spring Out- ing was held at Lake De Gray for a weekend of fun. To close out the year, Phi Sigs co-sponsored a softball toumament with Miller Brew- ing Company.

A major project for the fraternity was providing the lspirit bell at football and bas- lketball games. The ringing of the bell signifies the Spirit's presence as we cheered the Reddies on to victory. Everything from dances, parties and meetings take place at the fraternity house located at 1210 Richardson Street. It is the only fraternity house on campus. To begin the year the Sig Eps sponsored a dance at the frat house for all sorority pledges. A toga party with everyone dressed in togas and a masacre dance held on Val- entine's Day were also held for the students on campus. Service projects for the fraternity included sponsoring a Christmas party for under- privileged children at the frat house, collecting money for the Arthritis Foundation and raking the neighbors' yards around the frat house. The Sig Eps placed second in intramural volleyball com- petition, second in the blood drive held in the fall. To finish out the year the annual Golden Heart ball was held in Texarkana and the an- nual spring Swamp Stomp was held at the frat house in April.

Sigma Phi Epsilon!l75 i i Sigma Tau Gamma, Service projects and dances highlight Sig Tau's year. Service to the community and campus was the major theme for the members of Sigma Tau Gamma fratemity this year. Children at the Arkadelphia Children's Colony received a big treat when Sig Tau mem- bers played a game of football with them. Fraternity mem- bers said it was a long hard battle but the kids were just too tough for them. 1761 Greeks During the Christmas sea- son, toys and clothes were col- lected from area residents and students on campus, and pre- sented to the children at the Children's Colony. Another project the Sig Taus participated in was Gas for Chas. Gas for Chas was a drive to raise money for Chastity James, daughter of Henderson student Sylvester James and Phyllis James. Chastity had a hearing prob- lem and the family needed money for gas expense to Hot Springs to take Chastity to the J udevine Program for Autistic Children. Over S750 was raised during this drive. As Homecoming projects, the Sig Taus held a mock pep rally with a fifties theme in the Day Armory, and spon- sored a HSU-OBU dance at the National Guard Armory. Another highlight of the year was a dance held at the Holiday Inn. Among those at- tending the dance were Mic- key Gilley and Johnny Lee of the Urban Cowboy Band. Gil- ley and Lee attracted more than 500 people to the dance. Fall and spring rush was a successful time for the Sig Taus as 26 men pledged then fratemity. To end the year, the Sigq Taus celebrated their 35th an- niversary with a reunion oft members and alumni at their? Annual White Rose banquet. .

Q -' Q A L m .Q j Q t-b .bk A , -. i ' Q tg... - Q N xi Greeks are easily recognized as those students who are members ofa sorority or fratemity and are seen wearing T-shirts with funny letters on them. But why do students join them? Fifteen percent of the Henderson population are Greeks with a total mem- bership this year of 305 in the 13 sororities and fratemities. Each Greek organization has a charac- ter of its very own with various opportu- nities that cater to not just one individual, but to many personalities and interests. And each Greek has his own reasons for choosing to become a Greek, and then choosing which organization to pledge. Ken Koehler, ajuniorjournalism major from Little Rock, says he joined Phi Sigma Epsilon because there wasn't anything to do on the weekends. Greek life was for him a chance to become in- volved in a more active social life. Activities during the week were offered as well as on the weekends and Greeks found a way to become actively involved in campus life. Alpha Phi Alpha fratemity rides off in style aher a Greek Show held in the fall for freshmen. Parties, dances and other social events weren't everything, however, as Larry Cline discovered. Larry, a senior political science major from Hot Springs, was in- terested in scholastic improvement when he pledged Phi Sigs. Academic achievement is emphasized among all the Greek organizations and each April an award is presented to the organization with the highest cumulative grade point average. Phi Sigma Epsilon and Alpha Xi Delta were this year's win- ners. Darren O'Quinn, a senior chemistry major from Arkadelphia, chose to go Greek and join Phi Lambda Chi as a means of meeting many different peo- ple. Rush, pledging and then joining a Greek organization provided many op- portunities for students to come together and get to know one another. Greeks also provide the means for members to grow and mature together through experiences and fellowship. Chris Lowder, a sophomore pre-law major from Hot Springs, saw joining Sigma Tau Gamma as a chance to im- prove himself. He says, I saw the brotherhood as a chance to make new friends, and a way to get involved in something Greek Feature!l79 l80! Greeks Isnit Easy, But Fun cont. worthwhile. Being in a frat improved my attitudes towards college and helped me to become a better student, as well as a better person. Rush is the time when prospective Greeks begin to pick out that special one, says Deanna Dowd, a junior busi- ness major from Texarkana, who chose Alpha Xi Delta as her own special one. New brothers and sisters are an excit- ing part of the Greek experience. Gracie Spears, a junior joumalism major from Pine Bluff, noticed that Alpha Kappa Alpha stood out when she first came to Henderson and watched a Greek show. Gracie decided to pledge when she be- came a sophomore and found her new sisters very friendly. Finding a friendly home away from home at college was a part of the Greek experience as new sisters and brothers were found. Leisa Warren, a junior social work major from Little Rock, also found her sister in Alpha Kappa Alpha. She says, There was always a sister around Larry Harris performs in the Greek Show sponsored by CBS during Black Awareness Month. Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, builders of the Homecoming boniire gathered for a group shot after the bonfire ceremonies. I when I needed to talk to someone. Sig Tau Kelly Duggan, a sophomore business major from Glenwood, also val- ued the brotherhood of the Greeks that does not stop at HSU, but continues throughout life. Phi Beta Sigma member Greg Lemmons, a junior parks and recre- ation major from Hot Springs, saw a lot of brotherhood and services to human- ity, in his chosen fratemity. Greeks chose their organizations for other reasons as well, but social life and having a good time remained major rea- sons in the decision of which group to join. Phil Foster, a sophomore joumalism major from Little Rock, joined the Phi Sigs to be one of the good ole' boys, and Greg Church, a freshman business major from Bryant, chose Sig Taus to have a good time. Jay Freeman, a junior speech pathol- ogy major from Mammoth Springs, sum- med up the Greek experience. He says, Greek life is a special way of life which can make an individual more secure in relationships with others. My selection of my fratemity was made on the basis of which of my fellow students I felt close to. Sigma Tau Gamma was my choice because of the closeness I felt among the brothers. It hasn't always been easy, but it's always been fun. p i 1 rl i 4 l e l. 1 1. l fi if l i 4 H i 1 l N L in ll I t I I l 1 l L Kelly Cotton watches pledge Iennifer Ammons shine Edwin Bloomiield's shoes at the Alpha Xi Delta shoe shine held to raise money for the pledge class. Greek Feature! 181 l82!Sports We Want You Sports Reddie fans cheered their teams on to victories, and re- mained loyal through defeats to show their support. Football season was a series of ups and downs, finally ending in a disappointing year. The Battle of the Ravine ended in a Ouachita victory, and Homecoming spirits were dampened. But through it all the band continued to play S'That Old Reddie Spirit, and the fans kept the Reddie Spirit alive. The cheerleaders were assisted this year in spirit building with the aid of General Red, alias Thomas Surratt, appeared at all home games and traveled with the cheerleaders helping to promote spirit. Basketball season uplifted spirit and brought new hopes. Revenge was gained over Ouachita for last year's losses, and the basketball Reddies made it to the AIC championships following a three-way tie for first place that fluctuated back and forth for weeks. The Reddies made the trip to Kansas City for NAIA championships, but fell in first-round play. It was a successful season, however, and seniors John Hansen, Sam Weaver, Doyle Hays and Joe Berry left on a winning note. Recruiting was stressed in seeking outstanding high school athletes. Coaches looked for the best and said, We want you to play for us. Reddie players were record breakers and winners in every sport. Players were named to the All-AIC teams and the Lady Reddie basketball players broke a record in scoring 100 plus in the UAM game. The golf team went to South Texas to play at an invitational tournament at Padre Island. From spectators to participants, from winning to losing gracefully, sports at Henderson meant YOU. Fans at a Reddie basketball game stand and cheer for the Reddies as they appear on the court. Sports Division! 183 R ddie The Declaration of Independence says that all men are created equal, but what about sports fans? Sports fans come in all shapes and sizes, and from all age groups and backgrounds. The rarest breed, how- ever, is the Reddie Rooter. And what sets Reddie Rooters apart is the kind of spirit they exhibit at games. The, casual observer in Haygood Stadium, or Death Valley as it is more affectionately called, or in Wells gym, might see only a mass of fans - no indi- viduality, no distinction among species. But upon closer study, the observer is able to distinguish among several varie- ties of Reddie Rooters. Type One is called Bleacher Warmer. Just as some football and basketball players are Bench Warmers, so are some fans Bleacher Warmers. This Reddie Rooter appears to be glued to his seat during the entire game. He has been self- appointed to keep his particular section of the bleachers from becoming cold. The warmer stands up for the opening in- vocation and the national anthem, but then, doesn't budge again until the final time clock reads zero. Even the band's lively rendition of That Old Reddie Spirit fails to unglue him from his appointed task. If this doesn't spur him to his feet, nothing will. There is no hope for the warmer. Game after game, for some reason known only to him, he'll continue to keep the l84!Sports oolle or ot? bleachers warm, while totally ignoring the excitement of the game. Type Two is the Part-Time or Fair Weather Only Reddie Rooter. This fan cheers, yells and claps on a part-time only basis, primarily depending on his mood and the action of the game. If the Reddies are doing well, then he, too, will fulfill his end of the deal. The Part-Time claps for touchdowns, tackling the other guy, and the first few Reddie Spirit, but should the players fall behind or make one mistake, he de- cides to desert. Type Three is the Socializing Reddie. This poor fellow seems not to be aware that the name of the game is sports. He goes to the game for the purpose of talking and talking only - to anyone and everyone who will listen. The Socializer talks to those he knows and to those he just wants to get to know, for he isn't particular. For the Socializer, the game is his chance to catch up on the latest gossip and to meet new people. Who cares if somewhere way down there on the field or court, there's a game going on? This might not be so bad, except that the So- cializer prevents everyone around him from watching the game also. Not only this, but he plays musical bleachers, changing positions as often as the quar- ters change. . Type Four, the final one, is known as O oot O . f'J i' -45 i l A ill v Q the Number One Reddie Rooter. He is not afraid to say, Hey, I'm a Reddie, ,i and I'm proud of it! He'll tell anyonet within a fifty-mile radius that he's a HSU ll Reddie, and will yell so loud at games that xl the observer is led to believe that he canni be heard fifty miles away as well. The spirit stick rightfully belongs to the: Number One Reddie Rooter every time., He backs the cheerleaders and band andi doesn't miss an opportunity to cheer fort his favorite team or clap along with their music. ' Along with joining the cheerleaders el. and band, the Number One fan doesn't1 miss out on any of the action on the field.: He's always reddie to cheer his team: to victory or support them in defeat. Event in the face of defeat he doesn't despair but, only says, We'll get 'em next time. Hence, the observer studies the ma- jority of fans seen in Haygood Stadium ora Wells gym. At each home game they cans be found in their usual positions, neveru moving and never changing. They may, come for apparently different reasons, but they are all necessary to fill ther bleachers. For without them Haygood: Stadium or the Wells gym just wouldn't be the same. And Reddie Rooters would: just be plain, ordinary fans.

Reddie or Not ll85 Q ' 7 P Are eady Reddie Long hours of practice went into the spirit-building performances of the Red- die cheerleaders at pep rallies, football games and at basketball games. Six hours a week were spent preparing for Thurs- day pep rallies and Saturday games dur- ing football season. Basketball season was busy also with practices and more traveling to away games. Paul Hankins, director of the cheer- leaders, said, Our squad was not the typical collegiate squad. Routines by the squad were more relaxed and energet- ic, rather than being regimented. The squad was also creative, as it took one chant and performed it several dif- ferent ways. A walking stair-step pyramid was developed from the standing still pyramid leamed at camp. 'sl want them to be unique. Hankins said. Changes and additions to the squad this Creating spirit in the stands is just one of the duties of Reddie cheerleaders. l86!Sports year helped to make the squad more col- legiate, and to help promote spirit. Three males were added to the squad and Gen- eral Red joined the cheerleaders. General Red, it was stressed, was not the Reddie Spirit, but was created by Hankins and Dr. Michael O'Quinn to help build spirit. He had the Reddie spirit just like the fans and coaches, and helped to spread spirit throughout the crowd. Thomas Surratt, a freshman art major from Little Rock, was General Red. Four members of this year's squad at- tended the Universal Cheerleading Camp at Memphis State last summer, bringing home a spirit stick and several superior and excellent ribbons. The Reddie squad cheered at every home football game, as well as traveling to away games. Traveling was often dif- ficult, as Hankins remembered getting up 'l at 2 a.m. or 4 a.m. to travel back to HSU after a game. Members of the squad also experienced traveling through Hurricane Danielle while driving back to Hender- son. Basketball season was also busy as the squad cheered at every home game. A split squad went to away games so that members of the squad didn't have to go to every away game. Reddie cheerleaders were at every game in Arkansas. A new format is planned for next year in which two squads, one for football and one for basketball, will cheer. This will help to eliminate some of the long hours put on the cheerleaders that perform for two seasons, and will give freshmen and others more opportunity to become a Reddie cheerleader. .4-QE' NM ,xx H N 4' rw. h J ff.: xf- Wmiwemrga- c kk-Sim -fi.-it if' Q As one of the themes for pep rallies this year, Wash out the Savages was used.

F 'rl I , 'Lexis fm l88!Sports Injuries Plague Season Fairly high hopes and Coach Carpenter's limited optimism falls due to injuries It has been said that injuries can ruin a good teamis entire season. The Hender- son Reddies proved that fact this fall when back after back succumbed to vari- ous types of injuries. The Reddies came into the 1980 season with fairly high hopes, being picked third in the Arkansas Intercollegiate Confer- ence behind Central Arkansas and Ar- kansas Tech. Coach Ralph Sporty Carpenter came into the season with lim- ited optimism, telling the media that ev- erything would go well if everyone stayed well. That, of course, was not to be. The Reddies opened the season earlier than usual with a long trip deep into the heart of Texas. The Texas Lutheran Col- lege Bulldogs of Seguin, former Division- II national champion in 1975 and 1976, were the host for the crew from Hender- son. The first game for the season kicked off in the midst ofa tropical depression which had swept into southern Texas. Torrents of rain which had nearly flooded Seguin nearly two days prior to the Reddies' ar- rival put the field in bad condition. The Reddies overcame the elements and the Bulldogs to post a less-than- impressive 6-3 victory. The Reddies lone touchdown came in the middle of the third quarter when Quarterback Brian Howard took it in from about the two-yard line. The Bulldog place-kicker had kicked a field goal in the first half. Whether the win was impressive or not, the Reddies opened their season with a win for the first time in several years and propelled them into the NAIA's top 20 poll. The Reddies received enough votes to be ranked 18th in the nation. The first victory for the Reddies set up the next game versus East Central Uni- versity of Oklahoma, ranked 17th in the nation and expected to give Henderson a tough battle. The game was really never close as the Reddies shattered the Tigers, 27-14. Brian Howard opened up the Reddies' scoring attack with a one-yard sneak with 6:41 remaining in the first quarter to put the Reddies 7-0. Frank Pearson, a freshman kicker from Texarkana, Ark., convened the first of several extra points that night. Donnie Willis, a junior from Strong, scored next from one yard out with 6:32 remaining in the first half. Pearson con- nected on the extra point attempt and the Reddies were up, 14-0. Pearson hit a 43- yard field goal with 1:27 remaining in the first half to put the Reddies up 17-0 going into the halftime. Scoring midway through the third quar- ter, the Tigers narrowed the margin to 17-7 in favor of the Reddies, but Pearson hit another field goal, this one from 27 yards with 14: 15 left in the game to put the Reddies into a safe lead, 20-7. The Tigers scored once more, and Howard scored with only 15 seconds remaining to give the Reddies their margin of victory. The Reddies reached a peak and were ranked 13th in the nation and were play- ing very good football. The Reddies next foe was not a pushover. Stephen F. Aus- tin, always a highly regarded club, came into the game with an 0-1 record after losing Defensive back Ricky Norris 1311 attempts to bring down a Southem Oklahoma Slate tightend in a game held in Haygood Stadium. Football! 189 Quarterback Brian Howard eludes a Tiger de- fender deep in his own territory. Injuries cont. to Northwestem Louisiana State. The Reddies quickly took the lead 3-0 on a field goal by Pearson in the first quarter. That lead looked as though it would last through the night, but an inter- ception on HSU's own 7-yard line spoiled a good evening. The Reddies were in a third-down and long situation on their own two-yard marker when quarterback Howard sent a pass right into a defender's arms. Thus. the Reddies lost their first game, 7-3, to the Lumberjacks. Lady Luck seemed to smile on the Reddies, however, and prior to the Red- dies' appearance at Southwest Oklahoma State, the Lumberjack head coach in- formed HSU officials that the victory would be forfeited to the Reddies because of an ineligible player. Thus, with a 3-0 record, the Reddies were again unde- feated. Making the first appearance in a home- coming event, the Reddies ventured next 10 to Weatherford to play the Bulldogs of Southwestern Oklahoma State. When the Bulldogs were through, the Reddies wished that they had never gone that far west, as the Bulldogs thrashed the Reddies, 24-0, and gave them their first shutout in many years. The Bulldogs had been ranked 19th in the nation, but picked up a few places with that impressive win. After the game, Coach Carpenter re- marked, ' ' Lfwe play the rest ofthe season like we did against Southwestern, then we are not going to win another game all sea- son. Before this game the Reddies lost the first of many players to injuries as Donnie Willis injured himself against ECU and did not appear against SFA or South- westem. The Reddies hosted Southeastern Ok- lahoma State next and most sports writers were putting Henderson as a heavy favor- ite. Despite the loss of Willis and various changes in the Reddie line-up, the Red- l90!Sports .-MA , ' fi! '.-9, Jugs-f,,,' dies were expected to regroup and de-.1 molish the winless Savages. The Savages, however, put togetherilq one of the most impressive aerial displaysji the Reddies had witnessed and humbledjg the Red and Gray, 32-14. Donnie Willisif made his last appearance of the seasonf before suffering another blow to the head,lu removing him from the active list for their remainder of the season. ' The Savages opened up a 16-7 lead ati- the half, and the Reddies' only score camel with 14:20 left in the first half as Willisr crossed the goal line with a one-yard ef-1. fort. The Reddies came fighting backl when sophomore tailback Ricky Flenoryfi scored from the one to narrow the margin: to 16-14 in favor of the Savages. After:f that, however, it was all SEO as the Red-If dies committed 11 turnovers while the: Savages completed pass after pass tow' lower HSU's record to 3-2. 1 The Reddies then opened conferencei play in Haygood Stadium versus the-V Wonder Boys of Arkansas Tech. Techi was also 3-2 on the season and the Red-1 dies were determined to upset the Won-1 der Boys. The Reddies put on a very tough fight,Ii but just couldn't hold off the up-and-I coming Wonder Boys. Tech.pulled it outi, to win 14-11 and it was the hearts of theil Reddies that were upset. The Reddies' held a lead of 11-7 going into the fouithl quarter, but the AIC's leading offensive player, Jim Goodman, connected on a long pass to enable the Wonder Boys tot pull off the win. i tcont. page 19211 Passing quarterback Mike Nazerenko calls the signals.

The Reddies now fell to 3-3 overall, and 0-1 in conference play, and were in a must win situation, with the longest losing streak in 14 years. The Red and Gray broke that streak with a 20-14 victory over the Harding Bi- sons of Searcy. Coach Carpenter pulled a new quarterback out of his hat as the Reddies upped their record to 4-3 and evened their conference record at 1-1. Freshman Mark Grimes from League City, Tex., provided the spark that had been missing from the Reddie offensive attack. Lawrence Texada was put in an unaccustomed spot as tailback and per- formed better than anyone dreamed. Texada, a junior from Port Arthur, Tex., rushed for more than 100 yards to lead the Reddie attack. Texada opened the Reddie scoring with a 57-yard run with 6:57 left in the first period of play to put the Reddies up 7-0. Texada also scored the second touch- down of the night only moments later, as the Reddies moved out 14-0, a lead they carried into the halftime break.

The Bisons made a last- ditch drive at the Reddies, but the defense held on for the much needed victory. The Reddies ventured into another Homecoming game, this time against Southern Arkansas. The Reddies had a rough aftemoon both offensively and de- fensively as they fell to SAU 27-13. Ac- cumulating over 200 yards in total of- fense, the Mulerider quarterback ran the HSU defense ragged and nailed the Red- dies last chance at a conference cham- pionship. The Reddies fell to 4-4 overall and 1-2 in conference play. The Muleriders put 13 points on the board before the Reddies could score, but Texada put the Reddies on the board with 6:26 left in the half on a six-yard run and the Reddies closed the gap to 12-7. But that was as close as the Reddies would get. SAU put ll more points on the board and the Reddies were down 24-7 at the intermission. The Riders hit a field goal from 32 yards out and put the Reddies .....wN xxx-mtg y W' down 27-7 with the fourth quarter to go.: Mike Nazarenko, a junior college trans-i fer from Taft College in Califomia, came: in at quarterback and hit Duane Wilkinsi for an eight-yard touchdown pass to pro-1 vide the final margin. The defending AIC champions, then University of Arkansas at Monticellol Boll Weevils, were the next on the Reddie! list. The Reddies put together their besti offensive show of the year as theyi crushed the Weevils, 51-7, before a very! happy bunch of Reddie fans in Haygoodi stadium. l Nazarenko made his first starting ap-I pearance at quarterback for the Reddiesfl and completed 14 of 25 passes and fourl touchdowns.

Nazarenko hit Wilkins twice more be- fore the half ended and the Reddies went into the dressing room at half time lead- ing, 30-0. UAM's only score came in the period and narrowed the Reddies mount- ing lead to 30-7, but the Reddie machine continued to roll. Nazarenko and Wilkins teamed up again and Anthony Cheeks, a freshman from Pittsburg, Pa., put the Reddies up 44-7 midway through the fourth quarter. Misfortune continued to hit UAM as the Weevils fumbled with 1:31 remaining. Phillip Billings, a freshman from Huttig, scored the last Reddie touchdown with only 16 seconds showing on the clock. The Reddies improved their record to 5-4 overall and 2-2 in the AIC and gained much momentum going into the next game with No. 1 ranked Central Arkan- sas. The momentum, however, was not great enough as the Bears from UCA slapped the Reddies with a 30-7 loss. The loss removed any hope that the Reddies would break into the upper division in the AIC. ' The nationally ranked Bears, behind the team of Randy Huffstickler and Ron Mallett, buried the Reddies early. The Bears went in at halftime up 16-7 and de- spite gallant attempts by the Reddie of- fense, the same offensive punch that they had the previous week was missing as only 72 yards total offense were managed. The Reddies ended the season with the traditional Homecoming game against the Ouachita Baptist University Tigers. Al- though the Battle of the Ravine was not as important this season as in season' s past, a victory still leaves the victors feel- ing like winners for the rest of the year, despite the record. This year the Tigers felt the pleasure of victory as they ended a five-year drought by knocking off the Reddies, 28-21. Iron- ically, Henderson had beaten OBU by an identical score the previous year to spoil the Tigers' homecoming. The Reddiesjumped out early, building a 14-0 lead which they carried in with them to the dressing room at halftime. But the Tigers took advantage of the Reddies lack of killer instinct and quickly evened up the score at 14-14 midway through the third period. The Red and Gray quickly came back and regained the lead and went ahead 21-14 to start the fourth quarter on David Humphrey's second touchdown reception. The Tigers put it all together and scored two touchdowns to seal the Red- dies fate. The Tigers finished the season with a 2-8 overall record and 1-5 in the AIC. HSU finished 5-6 and 2-4, leading to the worst final record since Carpent- er's beginning tenure in the early 70's. j The Arkansas Intercollegiate Trophyj belonged to the UCA Bears, who finished 1 the regular season 9-0 overall and 6-0 in the AIC. The Bears enjoyed being ranked No. 1 in the nation until their first playoff game against East Texas State University where they were beaten, 27-21. Elon of North Carolina won the national cham- pionship. Only one Reddie player, Larry Day, a left tackle from Homerville, Ga., was named to the All-AIC football team. HSU placed several members as honor- able mention candidates, which included Tony Lewis, Morris Wright, Mike Mack, Ned Parette, Darren O'Quinn, Terry Rogers, Darrell Foreman, David Hum- phrey, and Duane Wilkins. The team that dominated the AIC through the 70's found it a hard fact to accept. For the first time since the early 70's the Reddies experienced a losing record. The 80's began worse for the Red and Gray than the 70's had ended. But despite the poor record of the Reddies in the 1980 season, you can bet you haven't seen the last of them. They will be back,. hopefully without the injuries that plagued them in the fall.

QS-vm ' M xv- - M .-...1 A' I .XX 's -111 'Q Dedication + Determination: ream Season When the Reddies entered the 1980-81 season, no one thought the team could continue the Henderson basketball tradi- tion, no one, that is, except a hard- working, dedicated group of 14 athletes and their coaches. After all, wasn't this the team that fin- ished the 1979-1980 campaign with a dis- appointing 16-10 record? Wouldn't this, team be at a disadvantage because of the tragic loss of Coach Bobby Reese and a completely different set of coaches? In the end, the dedication and determi- nation of the Reddies won in a much big- ger way than anyone expected. They brought home the NAIA District 17 title and made the trip to Kansas City as Ar- kansas's sole representative. Some of the credit for the dream season must go to the men who took over the head coaching assignments for the Reddies. First year coach, Jerry Kirksey, instilled a sense of team unity and gave the Reddies back the self-confidence that they had lost in the previous season. Kirksey also installed a different style of play, featuring multiple defenses and a more deliberate offense. Kirksey, how- ever, didn't accomplish this successful change by himselfg he was aided by his co-coaches, Bruce Terry and Dennis Bailey. Behind the coaching of Terry and Bailey, the Reddies developed one of the most respected defenses in the A.I.C. The strongest of these defenses were the l-3-l and the now famous T Chaser. Perhaps the l-3-1 did most to stifle chal- lengers as the Reddies left their man-to- Terry Deloney is wrapped up by Arkansas Col- lege's Charlie Howard as Doyle Hayes and De- loney go up for a rebound over the Scotts De- marco Martin. man defense of past years behind. Despite the lack of a name player, the Reddies captured the hearts of fans and many Arkansans with their inspired teamwork. One memberof the press said, The Reddies lack any individual iden- tityg the Reddies have team identity. The Reddies gave everyone a hint of things to come as they opened the season with an 87-68 shellacking of Xavier Uni- versity of New Orleans. The Gold Rush was baffled by the balanced Reddies at- tack. The next game was an emotional one for the Reddies head mentor. Kirksey led the Reddies into battle against his former team, the Drury College Panthers of Springfield, Mo. Two years ago Kirksey led the Panthers to a national cham- pionship by defeating Henderson in the finals. Kirksey won again. In his bittersweet homecoming, the Reddies prevailed, 72-65. Drury put it together at the end of the season and also made the trip to Kan- sas tcont. page 102i Head basketball coach Ierry Kirksey presents Dr. Gary Anderson the NAIA District 17 toumament trophy at a pep rally held in the square.

The Reddies lost in the first round of play. Men's BasketbaIl!l97 Dream Season tcont. from page 1971 The next game wasn't as pleasurable as the Reddies fell, 62-60, to the Mississippi College Choctaws in Clinton, Miss. Pre- conference play ended with a 66-52 thrashing of Southeastern Oklahoma State. In the conference opener the Reddies faced defending AIC champ Hendrix at Wells. Henderson stood no chance to de- feat the prospective champions, as the Warriors were chosen to all but dominate the Reddies. The Reddies lost the game, 74-69, but put up a valiant effort, includ- ing an offensive one which wiped out a 10-point Hendrix lead. Traveling to play conference foes Southern Arkansas and Arkansas Mon- ticello was diflicult for the Reddies since they had not beaten either team on its home court last season. They hadn't beaten UAM in Monticello since 1978. The Reddies again surprised their cri- tics by squeaking by SAU, 56-55, and by dominating UAM, 60-53, ending the Reddies' jinx in Monticello. The pre- break conference schedule closed with a 68-65 thriller over the College of the Ozarks Mountaineers. The Reddies then defeated Lincoln University of Jefferson City, Mo., 78-66, to close out the fall semester. The first half of the season ended with a 7-2 overall record, and a 3-1 A.I.C. record. But then the Reddies received some bad news. Senior Doyle Hayes and freshmen Bo Harris and Alan Hayes were declared in- eligible and had to miss several games. The critics thought the loss of these three important members of the squad would lead to the demise of the team. But the critics were wrong. Immediately following the Christmas l98!Sports ities i 32 .........,.... ......, break, the Reddies jomeyed to Wichita Falls, Tex., to participate in the D.L. Ligon Classic held at Midwestern State. The Reddies opened with then nationally ranked Southwest Texas State, and led most of the game but fell, 67-59. In the consolation game the Reddies put it back together and dominated St. Mary's of San Antonio, 65-54, to capture third place in the Classic. Sylvester James was named to the Classic's All Toumament team for his tough inside play. Central Arkansas was next on the Reddies' schedule and emotions were expected to run high. Behind senior leader John Hansen and junior John Ware's superb rebounding the Reddies avenged last year's loss at the hands of the clock with an exciting 61-54 overtime win over the Bears. The win over UCA brought Hender- son into a tie for first place with Hendrix and Arkansas College, as AC humiliated Doyle Hayes grabs the ball away from formerl Reddie Iohn Gaddie of the University of Central- Arkansas as Sam Weaver watches. the Warriors, 76-57. Playing like never before, John Hansen put together a 25-point performance as the Reddies edged out a winless Louisiana College team, 66-64. Terry De- loney, a junior guard from Texarkana, sealed the victory with a last second lay- up. The Reddies then defeated Arkansas Tech, 68-64, in overtime ofa conference battle and remained in a first place tie with Hendrix. A The Arkansas College Scots added the Reddies to their fallen list as they pounced on the Red and Gray, 65-61, in Batesville. The Scots were led in part by former Reddies playmaker Grady Bean.

The Reddies, still hurt- ing from the wounds from the Tigers' claws from last season, Q86-69 and 74-603 put it together tojump ahead to a 12-2 lead and coasted to a 65-56 victory. The Red- dies then came from behind to edge Hard- ing, 70-67. The victory again propelled HSU back into a first place tie with Hen- drix and Arkansas College. The Reddies disposed of Louisiana College rather easily, 71-61, a couple of days later to bring the mid-point ofthe conference sea- son to a 14-4 overall and 7-2 in confer- ence. The Reddies' rematch with Hendrix was a lesson, proving that some nights everything can and will go wrong. The Warriors clipped the Reddies' sails. 83-66, dropping Henderson to second place. It didn't take long for the Reddies to regain first place as they knocked off SAU, 62-53, Hendrix fell at Ozarks, and AC fell to Harding. The Reddies blasted Mississippi College 64-43, to avenge an earlier loss. The Reddies knocked off their next two opponents. The team defeated the UAM Mean Green, 61-50, and Ozarks, 77-61. Henderson then traveled to New Orleans for a rematch with Xavier. Touring all the festive sites in New Orleans, the Reddies were very impressed with Cajun hospital- ity. The hospitality ended, however, and was not extended to the basketball floor as the Gold Rush demolished the Red- dies, 93-72. The UCA Bears came to Arkadelphia next. The Bears, who would bearly make the playoff, fell, 62-53. The Reddies were still tied for first place, but again fate struck. UCA and Ozarks were told by the A.I.C. office that they would have to for- feit several games because ofa secretarial error. One of those forfeits was the im- portant loss of Hendrix to Ozarks. The Reddies found themselves losing a game in the standings to Hendrix without losing a game and the Reddies' record at this point stood at 19-6 overall and 11-3 in the A.I.C No one knew how this would affect the play of the team. The Reddies seemed to lose some oftheir intensity, but still over- came Arkansas Tech, 69-60, in the next contest. Bo Harris filled in for an ill John Hansen and put in a dazzling perfor- mance, scoring 18 points and bringing down six rebounds. The Scots of Arkansas College re- peated a previous performance against the Reddies with an 80-71 victory. Char- lie Howard again drilled Henderson, hit- ting for 33 points. The Reddies traveled across the ravine to play the OBU Tigers in a game that was played in a different fashion than the ear- lier game and games of the last couple of years. It was a barn bumer! The Reddies dominated most of the contest, but the Tigers took a 45-44 lead with two minutes to go and the battle be- came heated. Bo Harris knocked in a basket for the Reddies with just over a minute to play. giving Henderson the lead back. 46-45.

He hit both free throws and Harris hit a last second bucket to give HSU a 50-45 victory over the Tigers. With the victory, the Reddies avenged last year's embarrassment of not beating the Tigers. The Reddies closed regular season play with an 86-74 win over the Harding Bi- sons. This was the last home game for four Henderson seniors, John Hansen, Sam Weaver, Doyle Hayes. and Joe Berry. The seniors performed brilliantly, each scoring in double figures to end their successful careers. The Reddies finished the regular con- ference season with a 14-4 record and a second-place finish.

The Reddies, next opponent in the tournament was the Arkansas College Scots. The Scots had finished third in the A.I.C., but had defeated the Reddies both times in regular season. Although no one but the Reddies thought that Hender- son could pull if off, the team not only accomplished the impossible, but it to- tally dominated the Scots, 76-57. The now famous T-Chaser shut down AC's potent offensive threat Charlie Howard, and held the second team All-American from Mississippi to only 15 points. The victory moved the Reddies into the finals against the Hendrix Warriors. The Warriors had also beaten Henderson both times during the regular season. The Reddies and Warriors both began the night tight, taking bad shots and not play- ing smart ball. Hendrix led at half, 22-21, and widened its lead to 26-21 before the Reddies got hot. The Reddies put it to- gether and broke away for a 35-26 lead with 11 minutes remaining. The Warriors then pulled within four points, 35-31, but behind the shooting of Sam Weaver, the Reddies moved to 40-31. The Warriors pulled within two points, 43-41, but the Reddies again took the momentum and spread the lead to 49-41 with three minutes remaining. The War- riors made one last dash but were halted by two Hansen free throws and the Red- dies won the game, 53-50, and the District 17 title. The Reddies pulled off the impos- sible as the Hendrix Warriors failed to win the District title for the third straight year. The Reddies and their delirious fans took every souvenir in sight and the HSU cheerleaders summed up everyone's emotions with a quick rendition of Kan- sas City, here we come. The Reddies weren't as successful in Kansas City as in past years. Experienc- ing trouble finding the basket and shoot- ing under 40 percent in their opener, the! Reddies fell to South Carolina - Spar- tanburg, 61-50, in the final first roundl game of NAIA Tourney. Despite the short stay in Kansas City, the Reddies impressed the state with their: determination to get there. Because of team orientation, the Reddies received few individual honors. John Hansen was named to the All-AIC team, All- District 17 team, and to the All- District 17 team. Sylvester James was named to the All- District team and Sam Weaver was named Honorable mention All-AIC. The Reddies finished with a 25-8 over- all record, much better than anyone had envisioned. The Reddies lose John Han- sen, Sam Weaver, Doyle Hayes and Joe Berry to graduation. Hansen was a member of two AIC championships, two District chamionships, and national runner-up teams. He, along with Sam Weaver, provided the leadership the Reddies needed. A lot is needed to till the spots the seniors leave. But with returners such as Terry Deloney, John Ware, Sylvester James, Bo Harris, Alan Hayes, Marshall Pulliam, Duane Jackson, Tony William- son, and James Daniel, the future cer- tainly is not bleak. Coaches Kirksey and Terry are known nationally for their re- cruiting talent and are expected to bring even more championships to Henderson. The 1980-81 season marked the rise of the Reddies back to the top and the win- ning tradition, which some had said was dead at HSU. The Reddies re-established themselves as a power to be reckoned with in the AIC, and according to Kirksey and the rest of the coaching staff, the best is yet to come! Reaching with an extra effort, Sam Weaver re- trieves a missed Ark. College Scots shot as Alan Hayes and Ricky Everett watch. gsrgzlfr-sy ---:-. X 1-:f 3 -is qu ty 5 M 05815 .

Hiding just below the surface of other fall sports was a team destined to outshine everyone else before the end of 1980. The women's varsity volleyball squad started its season slowly, but ended with a grand finish by capturing a league title and going for a chance in the state playoffs. The girls did a good job throughout the year, head coach Bettye Wallace said, Although, we did not play as well as we wanted in the state toumament, we finished the season at a very good spot.', Henderson ended the year once more as the top ranked squad in the Southem League of AWISA with a 12-4 record, and went into the first round of the state playoffs opposite arch rival Ouachita. The team went into the season with four retuming starters, plus six more de- pendable players to rely on during the year. Senior Jeanne Mize, an art major from Ben Lomond, was back to lead the team into another season as the squad captain and a four-year player. Jeanne is like an extra coach, Wal- lace commented. She's a sharp player and thinks while on the floor. Three more veterans in the starting and sophomores Susan Hill and Nadine Walker. UA-Little Rock was the first team to fall to the Reddies as the women opened their first season with a relatively easy match over the visiting team. One individual who stood out among the rest was Susan Hill, Wallace said after the game. She was the spark plug with the spikes. The Reddies met and fell to Arkansas State University in the second meet ofthe year, but it was only after four games before the match was decided. Apparently nobody realized it at that time, but losing to ASU wasn't going to prove to be of great shame, for the Jones- boro squad went through the season with an undefeated conference record, collect- ing the state title before playing in the regional toumament. Henderson volleyball revived the age long Battle of the Ravine as the Red- dies hosted the OBU Tigerettes. It was a long and close fightj' Wal- lace said, but we came out of it the win- nersf' HSU won the first battle 15-7, but the Tigerettes won the second game by the lineup included junior Nanette Howard same point spread. mm. on page 2063 Y .

Final game play kept both squads alive, but HSU ended the game 15-11 and posted a 2-2 season record. John Brown University took the next match over the Reddies, but the women countered that loss with a win over Southem Arkansas University and the year was at 3-3 for HSU. The entire squad played when it chal- lenged Philander Smith College and left the court the victor. Wallace said her squad discovered that it was now on top of the Southern League with an 8-4 record. In most cases the fact might allow a team to breathe easier, but as Wallace pointed out this wasn't going to be so for the women's volleyball program. Before going into the two final battles of the year, the team was assured a place in the state toumament. The fact that the women had carried wins over UA-Little Rock and another victory over Ouachita made the day seem brighter. The game with OBU was close, Wallace said. OBU won the first two games, but we came through and fought for the next three to take the match. Henderson was to meet with Philander Smith and Arkansas College before wait- ing on the beginning of the 1980 State Volleyball Tournalment at OBU. One week later, the Reddies were seeded as the No. 2 team in the touma- ment behind Arkansas State, and the HSU squad was to meet again with the Tigerettes. The Reddies entered the battle with the season's 16-person squad and following a 5-1 offense, which is five spikers and set- ter. Mize, Howard and Hill were leading the front line, along with sophomore Mary Keaton and freshmen Brenda Nutt and Valerie Tyson on the starting lineup. The team's backup had seniors Bar- bara Mitchell and Lynda Wood, with sophomores Mel Brill, Carrie Hudson, Diana Samuel, Donna Walker and Nadine Walker. Three freshmen, Lynette Cox, Belinda Ross and LuCynthia Stenseng, finished out the team. The Henderson team went into the game with a 12-4 record and two 'wins over Ouachita. The Tigerettes were able to apply power and pressure and leave the game victors, ending the season for the Reddies. I can't complain, Wallace ex- plained. I just told the team that after having such a good year, you can't afford to let one game ruin a good season. OBU took the three games, 15-6,15-11, and 15-10, resigning the HSU team to be content with the Southem League title, and the knowledge that the Reddies were still in the winning tradition.

Despite a sluggish start, the Henderson State Lady Reddies put together a power- ful last-minute drive to make their first appearance in the AWISA State Playoffs in three years. Coaches Jane Sevier and Pat Rhodes had trouble early finding the right combi- nation, but once they found the key line- up, the Reddies scared teams throughout the conference and defeated perennial power Arkansas-Monticello. n The Reddies defeated Philander Smith, 81-52, in the season opener. Everyone scored as the benches were cleared. The Pipers from Arkansas College, however, ended the Reddies short winning streak by edging the Red and Gray, 80-79, at Wells. Despite being down .10 points at one stage, the Reddies made a last-minute surge which almost brought the Pipers down. The Cotton Blossoms of UAM were less than hospitable hosts as they over- powered the Reddies, 73-63, in Mon- ticello. The Reddies quickly put it back together to defeat the Golden Lions of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, 74-68. The victory evened Henderson's record to 2-2, but, unfortunately, that victory would be the last one for the Reddies for a while. A seven-game slide knocked the Red- dies down to the conference next-to-last position. The slide began when the Red- dies lost a very emotional game to the Gn And ff Season Central Arkansas Sugar Bears, 81-76. The Sugar Bears outshot the Reddies from the free-throw line, 25-6. The Golden Suns of Arkansas Tech defeated the Reddies next, 71-65. Al- though the Red and Gray was never out of the contest, the talented team from Russellville proved to be too much. The losses mounted as the Reddies lost to Southem Arkansas, 68-633 Arkansas- Little Rock, 59-53, and Arkansas State, 59-48. The losses placed the Reddies at the bottom of the AWISA. The Ouachita Tigerettes were next on the Reddies' schedule, and the team's confidence hit its season low. Hitting from every imaginable distance, the Tigerettes humbled the Reddies, 83-72.

During the break, however, the team members seemed to do a lot of self- searching. Coming back with, as one ob- server put it, 'fa whole different attitude, they wanted to win and win badly! Their frustration was taken out on Phi- lander Smith, playing their last season as an AWISA team. The Reddies not only won big, but they totally embarrassed the women from Little Rock, 88-39. The Pipers, of Arkansas College brought the Reddies down again, but only briefly. Although the Reddies fell, 78-73, in Batesville, they did overcome a 20- point deficit with a tenacious full-court press. The next game was a game that will perhaps remain forever in the memories of those present. Behind the perfor- mances of Lita Gattis, Donna Hender- son, and Sandra Hatley, the Reddies soundly defeated the UAM Cotton Blos- soms, 103-81. It was the tirst time that any Reddie team had broken the clock dur- ing the 1980-81 season and the first time that the women had broken 100 in its team history. Freshman Carol Gardner sank the 100th point by hitting the second of two free throws. Instead of the fans going home early as had been the case in the past, the crowd grew with the approach- ing 100-point mark. It was something to remember for everyone, winning had come to the women's program. Defeating the second-place team in AWISA gave the Reddies needed self- confidence. The team quickly translated confidence into victories. The Reddies next defeated non- conference foe Nebraska Wesleyan, 72-68. Toppling UAPB, 90-86, in two overtimes, the Reddies soon made it three wins in a row. The Sugar Bears were the next victims as the Reddies jumped out to an 18-0 lead and spread it to 31-9 before UCA reacted. The Sugar Bears made a last-ditch charge before the Reddies defeated them, 68-64. The victory upped the record to 7-10 and the Reddies re-emerged as playoff con- tenders. lx! QUWE- Up ..

Despite the momentum the Reddies had gained, Arkansas Tech wasn't down and humbled the Reddies, 90-68, in Rus- sellville. This seemed to knock HSU off balance, and the SAU Riderettes took advantage to edge the Reddies. 65-62. in Magnolia. The loss made the next game a must for the Reddies. The Red and Gray had to win to remain in the playoff picture. Squeaking past UALR, 59-58, the Red- dies did manage to stay in the play-off picture. The Reddies hosted the Tomahawks of Arkansas State in the last season home game. This game was the last home ap- pearance for Sandra Hatley, Donna Henderson. Teresa Stewart. Lynn Gar- land and Jeanne Mize. Although the Reddies fell short, 61-59. it was perhaps their most intense battle of the season. The Reddies traveled across the ravine next to play OBU in a key game. In order to make the playoffs, USI had to win, or SAU, who was playing UAM, had to lose. OBU defeated Henderson for a second time, 77-72, but fortunately SAU also lost. For the first time in three years. the Reddies made the state playoffs, finishing in a three-way tie for seventh place with Ouachita and SAU with a 7-13 confer- ence record. Seeded last in the tourney, the Reddies drew the UAM Cotton Blossoms. The Blossoms saw nothing but red that af- ternoon and avenged their earlier humiliating loss to the Reddies. 93-80. The Reddies finished the season with a 8-14 record, not an outstanding one by any stretch ofthe imagination, but neither was it a terrible record. The Reddies lose several key players this year. The loss of Sandra Hatley, four-time All-AWISA. is a very big one. The Reddies also lose All-AWISA For- ward Donna Henderson, Lynn Garland and Jeanne Mize. Lita Gattis, a junior transfer from the University of Arkansas, was also one ofthe elite group ofathletes. The outlook for the Reddies next sea- son is optimistic. Despite the losses, Nona Woods and Gattis are returning as seniors who could lead the Reddies through a winning season. Freshmen Carol Gardner and Cindy Stricklin could come in to provide a strong balanced line-up. The Reddies had a good year despite the won-loss record. With more student support. it might have been a better year. ..---1 ' s E Carol Gardner 1351 and Lynn Garland l14j prepare to scramble after a loose ball along with Mary Gaddy 1351 of Arkansas State.

The Reddies played a fairly tough pre-season schedule, but fmished slightly under .500. The opener for the 1981 season was a doubleheader with the Arkansas-Monticello Boll Weevils. The Reddies opened on a high note by dominating the Weevils and taking both games. The Reddies won only seven of the 16 non- conference battles. Most of these non-conference oppo- nents were from the Northem part of the country. Briar Cliff College from Iowa and Ham- line University of Minnesota were two of the opponents. The UA-Little Rock Tro- jans, an NCAA Division I team, were also on the Red- dies' schedule. The Reddies 2l4!Sports split their four-game series with the Trojans, winning two of the games. The AIC race was tough and tight throughout the ma- jority ofthe season. The Red- dies, after knocking off UAM twice, did the same to Hard- ing, totally neutralizing the Bi- son's attack. The Reddies now led the AIC with a perfect 4-0 record. Unknown to the Reddies, however, was the ambush that the Ouachita Tigers had pre- pared. The Tigers swept a doubleheader from the Red- dies, which seemed to shake the Reddies' confidence. Southem Arkansas was the cure for that lack of conti- dence, as the Reddies pounded the Muleriders and swept a doubleheader to move back into AIC contention. The Reddies shared the AIC lead with Central Arkansas First baseman Ioe Taylor aims for home plate. S L K+ ... ,W -. .1-Q--4:54 -05.31.-T.,.aff-'gs--xA!T iK'NN-, .' - '- Q - t -,. v-ws., A ' 7 Em .

The Wonder Boys of Tech hurt the Reddies' chances by taking the opener, 2-1. The Reddies and Wonder Boys fought into extra innings in the night cap, but the game was called due to darkness, tied at 6-6. The Reddies won that game on a later date, 7-6. The Bears of UCA de- stroyed the Reddies' chances for an AIC title and also seemed to take all the wind out of the Reddies' sails. The Reddies were routed, 14-1 and 4-0, as the Bears and the Won- der Boys of Tech were the only two teams left in the AIC race. The Reddies meanwhile fell to 6-5 in the AIC and 13-14 overall. The Reddies still had a shot at a District 17 playoff berth: all they had to do was defeat the College of the Ozarks Mountaineers. The Moun- taineers swept the doub- leheader and knocked the Reddies out of the playoff pic- ture. The Reddies, however, salvaged some respect by knocking off Tech in the make-up contest. The AIC title was shared by UCA and Tech, with the Reddies finishing four games back in fourth behind third- placed College of the Ozarks. The Reddies' season had several highlights. Curtis Thurston from Texarkana re- ceived All-AIC honors and had the most outstanding sea- son of any Reddie. He fin- Baseball ished the season tied for the 1eague's batting crown with an impressive .429 average. Brent Rook, a senior starting pitcher, was the only other Reddie to make the All-AIC team. He finished the season with a 5-2 record and defi- nitely was the Reddies' ace pitcher. Honorable mention picks to the All-AIC team included sophomore catcher, Ronn Orr, junior left fielder, John Hurst, senior second base- man, Bryan Wyattg and start- ing pitcher, junior Reggie,Rit- ter. Despite the record, the Reddies played well during the season. The Reddies fin- ished the season with a 14-16 overall record and a 7-7 AIC finish.

It was a year of firsts and rec- ords. For the tirst time at HSU, a swimmer was sent to the national meet. Eric Reynolds, a sopho- more from Warren, co-captain of the swimming Reddies, qualified for the NAIA swimming competition in the Wells Building pool in Feb- ruary during Henderson's own invitational swimming contest. All of the schools in Arkansas were present, ex- cept forthe U of A at Fayette- ville, when Reynolds edged a swimmer from Northeast Louisiana State with a Hen- derson record time of 22.45 seconds in the 50-yard free- style competition. It was the first time that a Reddie swimmer had ever qualified for a national meet. Reynolds didn't place in the national meet, but the Reddies were finally represented in a sport that not much emphasis Buddy Guynes shows a perfect tuck position from the high dive.

Led by All- AIC swimmer Keith Craft and honorable mentions Eric Reynolds and John Mims the Reddies made themselves a force to be reckoned with in AIC swimming competition. The Reddies fmished the sea- son in the conference meet with a fourth place finish. Again, depth hurt the Red- dies, as the Reddies finished right behind Ouachita. First-year coach Phillip Snell from OBU led the Red- dies to their most successful season in years and he pre- dicts better. With Snell actu- ally recruiting swimmers, an- other tirst, the Reddies may become a threat to perennial powerhouse Hendrix, which has won the AIC for the last seven years. I f ,M 131, i I xi inf..

The golfers started out slowly. placing only 5th in their first three rounds. In the AIC, six rounds are played to determine the round robin champion. No one in the AIC expected much from the fairly young Reddies. In the fourth round, the AIC was shocked when Henderson defeated everyone, including the pow- erful Bisons of Harding, by at least 12 strokes. In the last two rounds the Reddies finished 2nd, and 3rd, but that wasn't quite enough to pull them up from their fifth place finish. Harding eventually won the title handily, over OB U, SAU, and Arkansas Tech. Doyle Wallace, head coach of the Reddie golfers, was named co-AIC coach of the year for the outstanding performance of his troops. Jeff Bowen from Benton was named All- District for his performance. In an era seemingly growing Reddie athletic prowess, the golf team seems set to become an AIC contender in the very near future. Although no championships were won, valuable experi- ence was gained for the basi- cally young Reddie tennis squad. Led by supreme efforts by senior Lisa Hardin-Atkinsw and sophomore Janet Taylor, the tennis squad placed fourth in AWISA competition. The high point of the season was the victory over the Tigerettes from Ouachita. The Reddies handled the women from across the ravine rather easily, and thus became the only team besides the bas- ketball Reddies to defeat OBU this year. The conference was won by powerful UALR, with UCA coming in a close second. Both teams defeated the Red- dies rather easily.

Freshman Daniel Hunter cap- tured the only jump title with a leap of 23-4. Outdoor season began on Feb. 27 with a triangular meet in Warren. The Reddies com- peted in 13 regular season meets, including three relays. They were the Arkansas State University Track Classic, All-Arkansas Relays and the OBU Relays. Field events proved to be the Reddies' strongest area. Senior Deltha Harris and freshman Frank Pearson han- dled the high jump. John Murphy and Anthony Jackson took care of the dis- cus and shot.

Intramurals - Sports Clubs!225 We Want You Peopl People from all backgrounds, interests, talents and per- sonalities came together to make up the Henderson popula- tion. Students, faculty members and administrators had their own reasons for choosing the school with the heart as many discovered that Henderson was also the school with a place for them. There was something for everyone. Some came for special academic programs, such as avia- tion or music therapy, the only programs of their kind in Arkansas. Others came because they felt Henderson offered the best in business, music or biology. Students came to play in the band and faculty members came to teach in one of the five schools. Henderson people were talented, active, and award- winning. Students from the music department spent last summer performing at Magic Springs Family Fun Park in Hot Springs, while in the spring performed at the Vapors Dinner Theatre at Hot Springs. Students from the Baptist Student Union spent spring breaks and summers doing mis- sions work in Florida and other states. Recruiting was emphasized in bringing people to Hender- son. The HSU Singers, Stage Band, and Jazz bands traveled across the state to tell high school students about the Univer- sity, and administrators spoke to visiting high schoolers, telling them to retum later as a student and become a Reddie. Nowhere else but Henderson can one tind a Reddie and the unique Reddie Spirit. Faculty members were honored and administrators re- ceived awards. Dr. Peggy Dorris, chairman of the biology department, was named to appear in Who's Who and Dr. Martin B. Garrison received a national award for support of a free student press. Others, too, received recognition for out- standing work and efforts. From award-winners to recruiting, from academics to talented indivduals, Henderson people were people like YOU.

People Div1slonf227 Scared Freshmen Have Grown U By Diane West It seems like only yesterday I was a scared little freshman, not knowning my way around and wondering what the next four years would bring. Now those four years are almost gone and it's time to move on. The scared little freshman has grown up into a senior with all the anticipation, fears, joys and worries that come as graduation comes closer to reality. With at least 95 hours behind and trying des- perately to finish 124 credit hours, 407 seniors looked back over the memories of a college career. Now that those four years are almost over they don't seem quite so long. Seniors found themselves wondering Where did all those days of classes, par- ties, studying, and get-togethers with friends go? Looking back, they see four years of leaming, of growing, and chang- ing. Reminiscing and looking ahead were the key words for seniors as days of col- lege life were soon to be left behind for the world of work and business. But, first, seniors were faced with planning, study- ing and doing all the things toward gradu- ation requirements. One first had to make sure he had at least 40 hours of senior college hours. Graduation applications were usually filled out during the first semester of one' s senior year and were checked for ap- proval by the advisor, chairman of one's minor department and finally by the regis- trar's office. The registrar checked the application to make sure all the required general courses has been met as well as assuring that the sophomore English test and other required tests had been taken. These re- quired tests included the Graduate Rec- ord Exam for all students, the Nationa' Teacher Exam for education majors and the General Management Aptitude Test' for business management majors. After clearance by the registrar's of- fice, candidates for graduation moved on to placement for clearance and job help, paid a graduation fee and placed an order: in the bookstore for a cap and gown. Thee next step, of course, was to attend com-i mencement. 5 But before that final walk seniors still attended classes, studied, gathered with friends and spent the final days as a stu- vi dent unless going to graduate school. Thef days were winding down and soon college V life would only be a memory, but the Y memories of Henderson would alwaysl remain in the hearts ofthe seniors of 1981. f Seniors Debra AcreylGurdon Camille AllenlBatesville jimmy A1lenlEmmet Robert AllenlMelbourne Susan AmersonlMalvern Anthony AndersonlPine Bluff Melinda ArmstronglW.

The 52 American hostages were re- leased from Iran just moments after Ronald Reagan took the oath of office as the 40th president of the United States. Stories of the release ofthe hostages on day 444 of the crisis overshadowed cov- erage of the inauguration and change in administration on networks, and news- papers. Banner headlines told the story of our people's freedom as they left the ground to fly to Algiers, then on to Wies- baden, West Germany, before coming to the United States. 'In Arkadelphia the day was brightened too by the weather as students woke up to snow. Although the snow didnit last long and there was little accumulation, the white stuff' ' was another newsmaker on the historic day. Sam Gosso, a senior music education major from Arkadelphia, walks in the white stuff' from the Student Union to the Fine Arts building. in---2fL.,'i -- G..,. .,....,,,,1? ',g.,', :' Q ' ., W -N..

Redwood City. CA Senl0r5l239 S1 Even ore ndependence The first two years were over and the serious business of college began. The student with 60 or more semester hours of credit was now a junior. Finding himself climbing closer to the top, he realized that it was time for decisions and even more independence. Juniors enjoyed finally obtaining the status of upperclassmen, but found that this new position brought worries and concems as well as happiness. One con- cem came over hours as juniors pondered how many hours to take and began to concentrate on their major. The major concem for the 331 students classified as sophomores did center around a major. For those who had not yet decided for certain, the crisis was even more crucial. General education courses were at last completed. There was more opportunity for choosing elec- tives, but what electives would the junior with an undecided major choose? Graduation, too, was no longer an un- familiar distant dream. Juniors began to see its certain eventual arrival and began to plan and worry accordingly. A popular question most often worried about, then discussed with advisors and the regis- trar's office, was: Will I have enough hours to graduate? With maturity and campus life experi- ence, juniors began to take more respon- sibility and participate more in campus leadership. Juniors were seen in such leadership positions as editors of the Oracle and Star, in executive council po- sitions in the Student Govemment Asso- ciation and in other club and organiza- tional leadership positions. Juniors displayed independence and matuiity off campus as well. Many juniors looked for jobs to help pay their education as well as to consider a career after graduation. Others showed inde-it pendence by making the big move out ofi the dorm and into apartments, trailers org boarding houses. These new residences' were most often shared by two or three: others to help pay all the expenses ofgi newly found freedom. if Each day decisions were made and ther future considered a little more seriously! as juniors realized that they wouldn't bei juniors forever. Soon that all anticipatedi senior year would be upon them and withi that would come final choices, decisionsi and a real striking out on one's own. W Darrellyn Williams, a junior radiologici technology major from Lonsdale, said hers junior year was a time to improve here GPA. Her GPA is very important, shes said, because it helps determine whethen or not she gets accepted to the School oft Radiologic Technology at the Universityi of Arkansas Medical Sciences.

Terri Rouse has seen a dream become a reality. Terri, ajunior English major from Car- lisle, is more than just a student of Eng- lish. A semi-pro singer, she has been sing- ing for 17 years and has produced two albums. Terri grew up in a very musical family and leamed to play the guitar, mandolin and the banjo at an early age. Then when she was seven, she and her two older sisters, Kathi and Debbie. formed The Rouse Sisters, and traveled to Little Rock to do warm-up spots for such coun- try and western greats as Loretta Lynn and Emest Tubbs. In 1969 the sisters produced a gospel album entitled He Touched Me. The following years found the sisters working at KTHV for Tommy Trent on Saturday aftemoons, and later at The Cal Dring Moming Show. With Dring, the sisters worked every moming on KATV, and continued to do so until the group split and the sisters each went their separate ways. Intending to major in joumalism, Terri enrolled at Henderson in 1975, and at- tended straight through until May of 1977. That summer she began her first regular singingjob at Dogpatch, U.S.A. between Harrison and Jasper, and later in the summer, sometimes even filled in for The Widder Fruitful, a several- times-widowed woman seeking a hus- band. Terri came back to HSU that fall, but soon quit because of a conflict of interest. She went back to Dogpatch in 1978, working as the stage manager of the Dogpatch Jamboree. Terri Rouse and the Nickle Blues Band, a group consisting of Terri, a lead guitarist, a bass guitarist and a percus- sionist, formed in the summer and sang at high schools in Northern Arkansas. In August, 1978, Terri began produc- tion of her first solo album, The First One, which was released that October. She continued to work as a stage man- ager at Dogpatch in the summer of 1979, until a new group Daybreak, began. This trio toured, doing publicity for Dog- patch, and in eight months toured ll states and totalled a van. The accident occurred during the sec- ond half of the tour on the way to Yates Center, Kan. Terri recalls that a cart. struck the side of the van at the rear,h knocked it out of control and caused thet- van to roll. None of the members of the group was seriously injured and the tour. continued, she remembers. Meanwhile, Terri's mother had playedi- her album and some tapes for an auditions at Magic Springs in Hot Springs. Shel landed the job. This past summer Terri sang in ther Country Magicw Show at Magict Springs, doing impersonations of Kittyii Wells, Patsy Cline, Minnie Pearl andi Loretta Lynn. Terri says that the bestal crowd response came during her por-f trayal of Loretta Lynn, but her favoritej impersonation remains Patsy Cline. Terri -i says, She is my favorite female singer. j Terri is back at Henderson now and isi an active member of Alpha Sigma Alphai Sorority, as well as a Phi Sigma Epsilonn, Sweetheart. A Pursuing a B.S.E. in English, Terri Q plans to teach during the school year, for ij security and sing during the summer. 7 I'm never going to give up singing, shea says. ,.

The long freshman year is completed and with 30 semester hours of credit, sophomore status is gained. With the newly gained sophomore status, students found both advantages and disadvantages. The problems of first independence that seemed so awesome as a freshman are now gone and freedom is appreciated. A little more maturity is gained and with it comes the knowledge of why I'm really here. Sophomore status, however, left more than a few of the 470 so classified feeling somewhat stuck in the middle. No longer a freshman but still a long way from the envied and anticipated senior status, sophomores searched for their own place of security and belonging. This middle ground did have benefits for the sophomore, however. The future was still a long way away and worries were still somewhat beneath the surface. Plans, though, are finalized conceming a major, and serious consideration begins as to careers after graduation. Sophomores have the satisfaction of knowing that they are not dumb freshmen anymore, and although they still have a long way to go they have a year's experience in college life. This ex- perience enables them not only to know which teachers are best for certain classes, but also to give advice to others conceming classes, teachers and sched- ules. Sophomores now know the advan- 4 tages and benefits of finding just the right schedule and they know that no- body has classes in the afternoon, es- i pecially in the spring semester. The experienced sophomore looks - ahead to the next two years and realizes - that plans must be made and decisions A settled. Until then they remain in the T middle surrounded by seniority, but no T longer at the bottom. 3 Y 4 Vicki Lee, a sophomore joumalism 1 major from Fordyce, said she feels more ' relaxed and comfortable with her studies and campus life. She likes being on her own and being her own boss. Sophomores Dianne'Abernathy! Pencil Bluff Becky AcreylGurdon Kolawole Akinadel Lagos, Nigeria .

Often hearing is taken for granted. Many, though, have never heard the sounds of everyday life. For them the world is a silent world -that is, until they speak in sigh language. During the fall semester, Dr. Martha Anderson, professor of oral communica- tions, began a sign language class so that the hearing could speak to the deaf and hearing impaired. The class, taught by Karin Krebbs and Vicki Becker, had an enrollment of 18 students. One student, freshman Cindy Loch- Rewarding ridge, a speech pathologyfdeaf education major from Princeton, became excited when she found out about the sign lan- guage class. During the summer of 1977 Cindy and her family began bringing her little sister, born with a brain injury im- pairing her speech, to the speech clinic at Henderson for therapy. After helping her sister with sounds and words, Cindy grew tired and began teaching her sister the manual alphabet. Since then Cindy has been excited about deaf education. It is this kind of enthusiasm which Karin and Vicki rely on in teaching their classes. Their class at Henderson is their first college class to teach although they have been teaching classes in other cities. Karin and Vicki both work in Hot Springs at the office for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired. Karin is an interpreter and caseworker, as well as a teacher. Vicki, Karin's secre- 1 tary, was born hearing, but began to lose fi her hearing while in high school. She then I attended the School for the Deaf in Littlee Rock for nine years. The first class meeting began with Ka- I rin's introduction. Hello, my name ist Karin Krebbs and I'm from the Office fore the Deaf and Hearing Impaired, shel spoke and signed. She signed as quickly. as she spoke and students in the class- wondered if they would be able to sign' like that some day. She made it look so easy. Dr. Anderson began the class so that: students who come in contact with the. r X. K, D S0Ph0fH0fCS iae' - ' . ' W ' ' ..

Hands, facial expressions, and body language are all used in sigh language and the deaf per- son uses sign and lip reading to under- stand others. Sign Lanuage is not universal or even a national language since there are various types, depending on the country and area the individual is from. The language can- not be learned in one semester for it takes many years to master a smooth, fluent use ofthe hands in speaking. Sometimes even a wrong facial expression can ruin an en- tire sentence. ' - Learning, though, is a rewarding ex- perience and sign language is something students never stop learning. Both Karin and Vicki believe everyone enjoyed the course, just as they enjoyed teaching it. Kathy Hall, Cindy Loch- ridge and Darrellyn Wil- liams practice I am going to town in sign.

The carefree days of high school suddenly are gone and mom's no longer around to say what to do and when to do lt. Coming to college is often the first step in breaking away as 983 new freshmen discovered this year. These 983 chose Henderson as the school for them after nine months of pondering what life after high school would bring, Choices had ranged from working, to getting married, to continuing one's education. Freshmen made the first break away shortly after graduation. Cap and gowns were stored away, tassels hung from car rear-view mirrors and diplomas put away in some forgotten drawer. But then came the reality of breaking away, moving out to go to school and live on campus. In-coming freshmen packed box after box of books, favorite albums and memories and loaded them in their cars to head to Arkadelphia and their first freedom. After arriving on campus, the boxes were compacted, stuffed and jammed into a 16 by 12 room to be shared with a roommate. Where would all this stuff go? and will this stranger and Ibe able to get along in such close quarters? Finally, though, freshmen realized this was home, at least for the next nine months. They were on their own at last to make new friends and get involved in campus life. It was time for the serious business of college life. Freshmen found that a class load of 15 hours was considered full-time for a semester, but 18 hours was the average. They discovered, also, that a freshman is classified as a person having less than 30 semester hours of credit. Once classified, popular classes for freshmen were, as always, Fundamentals of P.E. as well as other required courses in English, science and math. Freshmen foundthat the best move is to complete these required courses during the first two years, thus concentrating on a major during the last two years. But those years are still far away- still only a dream. For now, completing thd first difficult year of college studies, newi ways of life and newly discovered inde-l pendence are the focal point of concentra-I tion. Freshmen acted in various ways to their new way of life as each one found al method of coping. Some looked forward. to their sophomore year while others would simply be glad to finally be away from the bottom of the barrel againl Freshman year was a year of problemsg and new adventures. Derrick Horsham, a freshman pre4 dentistry major from Jamaica, said it was hard for him to get used to the way Ar- kansans talk. He said he had some prob- lems with that in his classes but he got by. Jackie Toney, a freshman music educa- tion major from Forrest City, said she liked the feeling of independence, al- though her independence had taught her self discipline. Ti K' ff rib Y .

Singer songwriter Eddie Rabbit had a popular song in the top 40 entitled I Love A Rainy Night. That song was a song that Henderson students could really identify with. Rain, in the form of a mid-aftemoon shower or a thunderstorm, is something that Arkadelphia is known for. On one particular day the rain began early. The small shower seemed to only dampen the already disheartening Mon- day. But by afternoon the shower became a massive rainstorm with many reactions across the campus. The heavy downpour began shortly be- fore l:30 p.m. Monday, December 8, and suddenly sidewalks were flooded and students soaked. Then, the lights went out and the campus was in darkness. It began with a slight flickering of the lights, then was followed by total loss of electricity at approxmiately 2 p.m. Classes were let out in some areas of ll . The Rain the campus as it became totally impossi ble to see anything. Students, faculty an administration struggled through th darkness to attempt accomplishment of some work while those forced to go out side still made mad dashes from the pos office to the Fine Arts building and bac ' again. The rain outside began to let up, though, and the various lakes across campus began to lower. And after 30 minutes of darkness, finally there was light again. Business retumed to normal - well, almost normal- and it was just1 another rainy Monday aftemoon. But not one knew quite what time it was since alla the clocks, too, had stopped. Well, ata least we made it through the rain. Kyle McKenzey seems to be enioying the rain as he holds the umbrella for Abby Gullett.

Lynda confessed she shouldn't have been eating it. What happens when the mid-afternoon munchies strike? Students head for the nearest machine to grab a Coke, bag of potato chips, or a candy bar, of course. Whether it's in the dorm or in the Pub. junk food is never in short supply on cam- pus. Students can choose from various soft drinks, chips, crackers, candies or cookies and pastries. Favorites are M8cM's, honey buns and barbequed Fritos. Dorm rooms. too. are favorite hiding places for junk food supplies. Many closets have been tumed into miniature fast-food storage areas known to be filled with cookies tfrom home for the lucky studentl, various kinds of crackers. cup-a-soups. and cans of Pringles. Chocolate lovers are spotted with Oreos, Ding Dongs and a bag of Hershey's Kis- ses. A supply of cherry or tropical punch Kool-Aid along with other refreshments are kept on hand for a sudden case of the thirsties. Another vital part of every dorm room is the popcom popper and a bag of pop+ com. Not a night passes by when the' tempting smell of popcom doesn't comes from at least one room. Many students: munch on popcom during late-night studying sessions. or just get-togethers with friends. Popcom poppers also serv as miniature stoves for those who woul rather cook in their room than eat in .I l .I Caddo. A person can do wonders with alla popcom popper and a can of Campbelfsll Soup. , Rented refrigerators from the Col-li-. lege Refrigerator Rental Company ar stocked with Cokes, dips, pickles and .4 sandwich supplies. if Eating out was yet another favoritei source for nutritional junk foods as Ar- kadelphia offered students the choice ofil it Freshmen efef F M ,fiat Sheila Leeflllelight - wr za, ,ext .

L + 4 ' 2 we X l el ord Express Themselves One of the most unusual t-shirts that appeared on campus was one wom by junior mass media major Scott Steele. The t-shirt simply said, Do not read this t-shirt. The way people are expressing themselves is becoming written words seen in public places on t-shirts and bumper stickers. Bumper stickers have gone from local to national with slogans such as: Hen- derson the school with a place for you, to Arkadelphia is a winner, to J.R. for President. Others ask for support from the readers like: Pray for me. I drive on Hot Springs streets. Others tell ofthe support given: We're il, a logo from the Arkansas Democrat, or On the eighth day God created Phi Beta Sigma. Some bumper stickers cause you to look twice like: A pinch is all it takes. First you wonder who would put that on a bumper sticker. then you realize that it's an advertisement for a chewing tobacco product. A person' s hometown or favorite place.: has become the subject of many t-shirts. Arkadelphia, Arkansas - famous forl absolutely nothing and Nowhere elsei but Hope tell the reader that the wearerr has been to those places, if not livedr there. A favorite among students on cam-1 pus is I are a college student at HSU. The ego of every Arkansan is boosted: everytime he sees the t-shirt, I am a 100475 genuine, authentic Arkansas: Razorback. Another is, If you lead a good life, say your prayers and go to church, when you die you will go to Ar- kansas. Now is the time to put your feelings on your chest or bumper for the world to see. Stuart Richardson, a senior music education major from North Little Rock, put this bumper sticker on his car to get a little support from others in the crowd. . ..,. or I.: er-.'r-sms., .S+ ' ' M- -Qi SQ'-was xezfasyr-.f.ff'1'-fs fwfirat . - 2::sS'1:::,frf:, - 1 X- .

But to check an empty box again? Not every box is empty, however. Every moming the Arkadelphia Post Of- fice brings between 500 and 600 pounds of letters, packages and junk mail to the HSU Post Office. Many students looked forward to letters from distant friends, Sweethearts and home fmaybe containing a little extra moneyl. Others thought of the mail as their only link to the outside world. Mrs. Libby Bear and Mrs. Betty Col- clasure, post office employees, sort all the mail that comes in and distribute it in the boxes. Not all mail is ofthe usual variety. One student received a package of seafood from his brother in New Orleans. An- other unusual parcel contained frogs for the biology department. Bear says, They had been tumed over and the boxes were wet. They were a sight to see. Other packages came in that read, Do Not Crush! These, of course, had been crushed out of sorts and were no longer in one piece. Many questions were directed at the post office employees during a day. Stu- dents came asking, What's my box number?,' Others wanted to know, What's my combination? Complaints are registered at the post office, too. According to Bear and Col- clasure, many students came wondering where the mail is and wanted to know whether it has been put out. Those who can't open their box because they have forgotten the combination declared the whole thing a chore. The busiest time for the post office is during sorority rush and Christmas. Rush brings an extra amount of cards and favors to every girl going through rush from the six different sororities. The HSU Post Office is a part of the State of Arkansas, not the federal gov- ernment. Bear has been at the post office for three years, while Colclasure has been working for nine years.

The ratio of students to teachers at Henderson is relatively small at nearly 15-l,. according to Hershel Lucht, regis- trar. However, even with this good ratio there are only six black teachers among the 160 faculty members. The common environment for those 160 teachers is, ofcourse, the classroom. They are seen in McBrien teaching Eng- lish, foreign languages. and social sci- encesg in Mooney teaching business, in Evans instructing student nurses, and in McElhannon lecturing a math class or working in the science lab. In Arkansas Hall they are also seen teaching a variety of courses in broadcasting. English and sociology. Although the classroom is the teacher's typical setting, they are found in other campus spots as well. At any time ofthe day several instructors join students in the Union Pub to just sit and talk for awhile, taking a break from the routine of classes and office hours. Subjects vary but favorite topics are campus sports and current events. Sometimes there isn't talk -just sim- ply sharing time with a friend as Dr. Claude Sumerlin, professor ofjoumalism and Dr. Wayne Delavan, professor ofpo- litical science are faithfully spotted mosi afternoons enjoying an ice cream cone it the Union. Teachers come in a wide variety ofpert- sonalitiesjust as do students. Off campu. many faculty members enjoy hobbies that both pertain to and are far removed from their field of specialization. The English faculty is largely involved in writing foi publications while Dr. Charles Hughesu professor of English, and Dr. Ed Rylandi professor of speech, enjoy playing bluet grass music. j But back to campus they are again the! instructor and because of the small ratio of students to faculty, teaching is emi phasized.

Kuyper says the campus has changed since he first came, and the buildings are all different. Day Armory is one of the few buildings that have remained the same, he says. There have been so many changes since those days, Kuyper adds. Originally from Sioux City, Iowa, Kuyper came to Arkansas and Hender- son Cthen Henderson State Teachers Col- legej following a meeting between his voice coach and Mrs. H. Grady Smith, then chairman of the voice department at HSTC. My voice coach at Dakota Westland University in Mitchell, S.D., was at a meeting in Dallas, Kuyper remembers, and met her friend Mrs. Smith who men- tioned that there was a job opening at Henderson. ea te, eacher etires Mrs. Smith flew to Nebraska to inter- view Kuyper, who was working on his master's degree. He sang for her, was hired and came to Henderson to teach voice. Kuyper says the biggest project he has done here is the Madrigal Feaste, held for three nights in December. Not many schools conduct such an event, according to Kuyper, but Pine Bluff High School has followed Henderson's tradition in holding an annual old-fashioned English feaste of singing, dancing and eating. Kuyper says of the Feaste, It is hard work, but most satisfying. In 1953 Kuyper was the first in Arkan- sas to start a Madrigal group. When he first came to Henderson Kuyper was the director of all choral groups. Now a former student, Charles Rye, directs these groups. Since he has been in Arkansas, Kuyper has been quite active in the opera. He has sung 20 opera roles at the opera in Littlf Rock. The current director of the Arkani sas Opera Theatre, Ann Chortead, is I former student of Kuyper's. Kuyper's wife, Adriana, is retiring at the same time, and he says the two 0 them plan to do some traveling. Kuypef also looks forward to working outside ani having a big garden. I will have mor. time to devote outside, he adds. But h. says that there will also be a chance tl relax more now as well. Teaching is hard work, Kuype says. It is hard mentally as well as being time-consuming, but Kuyper says he ha: enjoyed teaching and may miss it. It'a hard to say exactly what I'll do or fee yet, he says. Kuyper spent some time in the service during World War II before going tc school in Nebraska. He and his wife have five children. One of them, Karen, 1 music major at HSU, won the state voict Dr. Preston HobsonfEducation Betty Holt!Math Dr. Charles Hughesllinglish Marie Hughes!Libera1 Arts Dr. Bill Inman!Counseling Center Dr. Erwin IanekfPsychology MSG Iohn KetchumfMilitary Science Eugene KuyperlMusic Dr. Iohn LinnfDean of Fine Arts Helshel Lucht!Admissions Kay McAfeelMusic Wayne McAfeelArt 2661 People . X ii auditions in Febmary. A music supervisor for one year at a 'high school in Madison, S.D., Kuyper u taught all of the music at the junior high it and high schools. He then went on to it work on his master's degree in Nebraska land, from there he came to Arkansas. We loved Arkansas immediately, he T says. But there ,was an unusually hot i summer in 1952 without air-conditioning. -Kuyper remembers it as really rough. , People in Arkansas are very outgoing, says Kuyper. One thing he says he and his xfamily had to do was learn to say ya'll. They did leam and stayed in Arkansas. A Now four of Kuyper's children still live in lthe state. Kuyper says that he has no definite vplans, but feels that he will stay in Ar- ikadelphia after retirement. Problems come with moving, he says, and we're ihappy here. lBecki Ienkins pins a pin on Eugene Kuyper after a vperformance of the spring opera The Prodigal iSon.

Delavan retired this year after hitting the 25-year mark in December. He says he wanted to retire while he is still able to do the things he enjoys. The Kansas native is active in several community service and outdoor ac- tivities. He has been an assistant Scout Master and Scout Master for the Boy Scouts, and has served on the District Commission and the Scout Executive Board, as well as being a district coun- selor. Among the awards Delavan has re- ceived is the Order of the Arrow, the highest award from the Boy Scouts. He has also received the Silver Beaver Award and the District Award of Merit. Delavan became interested in working with the Boy Scouts when he discovered a need for leaders. He says, They needed leaders to get a troop started. Delavan answered the need, and has con- tinued to lead troops. Keeping in contact with different peo- ple is important, says Delavan. He does this, not only by working with the Boy Scouts, but also through his associations with the Ozark Society and the Ar- chaeological Society. The Archaeological Society is a special way Delavan has of staying in contact. He says, You're not stuck with the same ideas all the time. Different people present different ideas, he adds. Delavan participates in the archaeolog- ical dig with the Society each summer, and has plans to go to Old Washington during the summer. Much of Delavan's interest in the out- doors is a result of his childhood. He says, I grew up on a farm, and leamed to fish, hunt and trap as a kid. After retirement, Delavan says he will have more time to do these things. He says he especially looks forward to hav- ing more time to spend fishing and birdwatching. Wildlife photography is another area Delavan enjoys, but has not been able to participate in as much as he would like while teaching. He says he expects to go back after retirement and take pictures of wild flowers, rivers and boats, in particu- lar. Delavan came to Henderson in January of 1956. Prior to coming to Ar- kansas, he taught at Kansas State College of Pittsburg, Central Missouri School, as well in high schools in Kansas and Mis- souri. He and his wife have two daughters and one son. Dr. Delavan was honored at a surpirse retirement party in the School of Liberal Arts.

Academic Dr. Martin B. Garrison, president of HSU, was faced with controversy, budget issues, financial cutbacks, and staii' reductions in his eleventh year as president. Govemor Frank White's proposed cut in appropriations for HSU in the next biennium led to the talk of possible Uni- versity cutbacks, including cutbacks in academic programs and the notification to 22 staff and faculty members that their contracts might not be renewed. 'Tuition was also an issue as talk began to center around an increase for the 1981-82 school year. A budgetary review followed White's appropriation recommendation, and Dr. Garrison announced that the highest priority would be given to maintaining academic quality and integrity at Hender- son. - Garrison said, We are proud of the strength and quality of our academic of- ferings. Henderson has emerged as a ma- ture university that offers strong academic programs at both the under- graduate and graduate levels. We are firmly committed to offer those programs which reflect the academic strength and quality indicative of a mature univer- sity. The news out of the President's office was not all cutbacks and budget reviews, however. In March Garrison announced the establishment of the Henderson State University Foundation. A non-profit corporation, the new Foundation marked a significant event in the history of HSU. He said, The Foundation will give us an excellent means to pursue more aggressively pri- vate gifts for the University. With the outstanding leadership of the Foundation At a luncheon in the spring, Dr. Garrison an- nounced the beginning of the Century II cam- paign. 2701 People uality and Integrity Board of Directors, a new and much needed dimension will be added to the University program. In the spring, Dr. Garrison also an- nounced the beginning of the Century II campaign. The campaign is in preparation for the one-hundredth anniversary of HSU in 1990, that Dr. Garrison says will reflect accomplishment and great pride. The Foundation began with S112,000 in assets, according to the president. Dr. Garrison received the 1980 John R. Emens National Award for support of a free student press. The five executives directly under Dr. Garrison also held major responsibilities and expressed concem for University is- sues. Vice presidents Dr. Joe T. Clark and Dr. Gary Anderson became involved in issues of student concern and worked with students on tuition, budgets and scholarship concems. lcont. on page 2721 The Oracle Editor David Mayo presents Dr. Garrison with the Iohn R.

Dr. William Shelton, executive direc- tor of University Services, joined the staff in 1975 from the University of Mis- sissippi. Shelton also worked with Public Relations and spoke to high school stu- dents visiting on campus. Mr. Guy Hays, chief fiscal officer, has been at the University since 1950. He received his M.S.E. from Henderson in 1956. The Board of Trustees worked with Dr. Garrison in deciding matters of Uni- versity concem. .The year's major issues centered around a tuition increase, cutbacks and faculty contracts. Lack of increased appropriations made a tuition increase seem inevitable and in April the Board voted to raise tuition for the 1981-82 school year to S360 per semester. The approval of a 312.7 million preliminary budget for next year reflected a reduction in the University's program and an increase in student fees. Adjustments on programs included a reduction in 15 faculty and staff members. Registration fees were increased by 20 percent while other student fees such as room and board payments were increased 10 percent. Ned Moseley, chairman of the Board, said that while the decision was a stressful one and it was a diflicult time for the University, he felt confident that Hen- derson would continue to offer a strong educational program. Mr. Moseley was appointed to the Board in 1961. He is superintendent of schools at Stuttgart and is a graduate of the University of Arkansas at Monticello and George Peabody College. Other Board members are Dr. H. D. Luck, secretary, Mr. Bill G. Abemathyg Miss Jane Ross, Mrs. Adell Mamby, Mr. R. Emmette Parham and Mr. James W. Board of Trustee member Dr. H. D.

It was the place to go for every problem, ranging from housing mixups and financial aid needs to parking tickets and health services. Womack Hall is the home of most of the Student Affairs offices, and students soon learned their way around. Class and social relationship problems are the specialty of the Counseling Cen- ter, located on the first floor. Dr. William Inman, Mrs. Theresa Keaton or Dr. Claude Caffee were always available and willing to take time to sit down and talk to students. The Counseling Center also of- fered special help for foreign students. Jim Smedley and his staff are also lo- cated on the first floor. Smedley, director of Alumni Services, works with seniors in job placement as well as keeping in touch with HSU graduates. The switchboard, the link between stu- dents and home while attending school, is located also on Womack' s first floor. The switchboard operator also knows every extension dialed before it is asked for. The familiar voice seems to always ben friendly as the outside world is greetedt with Good morning, Henderson.

I ,really don't know where to begin. So I . shall start from the beginning. Working on this book has been a plea- lsure, even though the staff and myself I. went through some hard times. The completion of this book ends my third year of working on the Star. I had no p idea that when I walked into the Star of- T tice when I was a freshman that I would end up being editor of a major publica- tion. I owe a lot to Chip Montgomery for . edging me on in 1979 to become editor of l the 1980 book. After last year when there l wasn't anyone else around to do the job, I l volunteered for the job again. Even though I have not had one of the biggest staffs in history I believe they gave me support to the very end. I owe a lot to Diane West. Thanks for your help the past two years in the copy writing department. I really don't know what I would have done without you there. We did have some bad times, but I believe those bad times brought us closer together. I wish you all the luck in the world with your career. year. I also appreciate you spreading yourself thin between me and the Oracle. To Mark, Kathy, Barbara. Annette and Annette, thanks for being there when I needed someone to listen to all my prob- lems. I bet you all have a deaf ear now. Evelyn and Cindy, thanks for all the typing you did for me. I don't know what I would have done without you there to do it. I would also like to thank Bonnie, Lynn and Lisa for stepping in when I needed them. You all did a great job with the Greeks and organizations. I would also like to thank Janet for coming in and doing what she could. I have faith in you Janet. I hope that we can work together next year and you can become my successor. Last but not least, I would like to thank Dr. Claude Sumerlin for edging me on in the last late days of this book. Our tem- pers tlared, but I believe it was all worth the effort. This the second time around for me as editor. Next year is third. If everyone thinks I gripe and complain now wait until next year. Marty Smith 1981 Star Staff Editor!

Acknowledgements!29l Want You A Year Of Controversies And Celebrations Administration, faculty and students came together to form the unique, friendly atmosphere of the school with a heart. As the year progressed, each individual became a part of the Reddie Experience, and the feeling grew. It was good to be part ofthe fun and activity, ofthe work and events. The friendly atmosphere that welcomed students to the campus was evidenced early in the year with freshman ori- entation, the Pine Tree Speech, and the forming of friend- ships. Throughout the year the atmosphere continued to be friendly as cooperation and sharing increased. There was always someone to talk to, someone to listen. Friends and fellow workers got together to discuss the days' events, talk business or just chat awhile. . . . The day seemed a little brighter when friends were close by. In different locations across campus, business talk was often the order of the day, and the business at hand depended on the location one happened to be in. An aftemoon walk on the third floor of Mooney might find one getting involved in the discussion or economics: a stroll through Fine Arts brought the sounds of practicing and talent at work. Hall- ways of McBrien, Evans and McElhannon were filled with hurried talk of tests, verb conjugations, and perhaps the latest science experiment. Administrative business talk took place, too, accom- panied by the friendly sound and the welcoming smell of a popcom popper in Womack Hall. Sandy Covington and Vivian johnson were two ofthe many students who took part in the costume contest held in Caddo to celebrate Halloween. Fuzzies on Parade was the theme of the Alpha Xi Delta car parade through the streets of campus during Homecoming week. We Want You!293 .95 . . NS.. 34 , . ' ' 'Tw B Want You The Spirit Prevails For The School With A Heart Just walking across campus between classes gave one the feeling of being part, as many hellos and friendly exchanges added to the atmosphere. The post office lobby, the Union Pub, dorm lobbies, and the library were favorite spots to get together to talk, study or relax. Academics, clubs and extracurricular activities offered various opportunities to join in the friendly atmosphere and share in the Reddie experience, an experience of growing and leaming, and sharing that will long be a part of the memories of Henderson for those who participated. Decisions, controversies and problems also played their part in the experiences of the year. Finances were in diffi- culty following Govemor White's cutbacks on appropria- ,, is tions, and changes had to be made. Sixteen faculty members' contracts were not renewed and fees, including tuition and room and board payments, were raised. Speculation cen- tered on what effect increases would have on enrollment, as well as what the effect on academic programs would be. 8 i ,111 Ii, , .Y i e 4 - -1:-if 2 Ianuary's low temperatures and a continuous flowing fountain by 3 Mooney Hall provided this ice sculpture.

We Want You!295 296lWe Want You Want You The spirit of Henderson prevails, however, and the prob- lems were somehow resolved. Although changes have been made and problems occurred, Henderson remains, The school with a heart. The true meaning of this motto was discovered by many throughout the year as they, too, be- came a part of the Reddie experience, a feeling of spirit and sharing unlike any other. It was a place to feel needed, a chance to be wanted on a special friendly atmosphere known only to those who an- swered the call to come to Henderson.
