JSAS HUSTON • MISS SIANA ■ Charles E. Richardson, Editor Buford J. Koen, Associate Editor ANNUAL RECORD OF EVENTS AT LOUISIANA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE RUSTON, LOUISIANA mmmmm r In the belief that the progress and the character of an institution is measured directly by the calibre of its stu¬ dents, the staff of the 1949 Lagniappe has tried to present a composite and well-rounded picture of campus life during the 1948-49 academic year. The myriad activities of Tech, both in the classes and on the campus, have been recorded for the benefit, both now and in the future, of every student. Compiling the Lagniappe on the assumption that this year will be remembered chiefly as one of rapid progress, the staff has attempted to include a segment from every phase of campus life. Aware of the fact that ours is an obligation to bring to the students an annual as representative as possible, the editors have sought to reach out and capture the spirit of the student body — and it is to them, rather than to an indi¬ vidual, that this volume is dedicated. contents ADMINISTRATION CLASSES CAMPUS LIFE ATHLETICS ORGANIZATIONS familiar quented by Tect sters. Three students at left ar being assist¬ ed by a librarian in search for their respective volumes. •� � -fmmmi ffjjjj iitq VtVVV Margaret Durrett at low¬ er right is experiment¬ ing with chemicals in a laboratory located in the Chemistry Building at top. The picture at low¬ er left depicts a usual scene in Lomax Hall, middle, immediately preceding examinations in social sciences. Just about the busiest place on the campus is Bogard Hall, above, where future engineers gain their knowledge. Over the steps at right, many stu¬ dents have traveled into Bo¬ gard for their classes in alge¬ bra, physics, calculus, engineer¬ ing, and other mathematical courses. Here is where women sti learn about the scientific cess of hotne-making. At right, two students st bulletin boarj], displaying hontc egcmt mics news. The picture above shores Anna Iclste Cottage, used as a home management house; the final domicile of Horne Economics majors. They learn to take care of a beautiful home while in college. At the left , the Lagniappe photographer caught Lucille McCall bidding her escort farewell on the porch of the Cottage. On the opposite page is a photograph of Prescott Memorial Library. The entrance facing west proudly symbolizes the physical plant of Louisiana Tech. i At left is one entrance to Rob¬ inson Hall, ivhich is shown be¬ low, where men students in the upper classes reside. Thatcher Hall, below, is com- ionly referred to by its occn- p iits as Sophomore Hall, a do nitory for men. To the riglti is pictured an entrance to ’ e bqiilding.

At right , a student audience streams out from a convocation held during the Fall Semester. _ White columns mark the en- trance to the President ' s home, where many visitors are enter - tained annually. Within the home, as shown at left , is a j-j-f ire place of modern appeal. The entrance pictured at the right leads into Reese Hall, above, where agricultural and forestry students receive a por¬ tion of their training. A. E. Phillips Elementary School Building, above. Two preparatory students at right are depicted while in deep con¬ centration, a trait taught them by future teachers training at Tech. The newest addition to Tech, when completed, will be the modern girls’ dormitory, shown below in an architect’s drawing. Capable oj housing 121 women students, the dormitory is being constructed ad¬ jacent to Aswell hall. Construction, started in the summer oj 1948., is going forward at a rapid pace. President Claybrook Cottingham, above. At top, Dr. and Mrs. Cottingham shortly before they left by plane for Mississippi, where the president made a speech. At lower right, Vir¬ ginia G.

Whatley This section, appearing in the Lagniappe for the first time, is not complete. Many more worthwhile attractions have been sponsored than could have been covered by the staff of the Lagniappe. However, with the hope of at least presenting the high spots of this school year’s programs, a number of events well worth remembering are shown. Romeo and Juliet Others in the cast included James McFadden as Benvolio; Jacque Norman as Mercutio, and Shirley Gibson as Juliet’s nurse. The Tech Theatre Players opened their four-night run of “Romeo and Juliet’’ on Decem¬ ber 6, with the title roles enact¬ ed by Lester Snyder and Mary Frances Manry. Robert Shaw, with his 32-voice collegiate choral and chamber music ensemble, afforded Techsters one of the first bright spots in the concert season when they were presented here on October 27. The choral, making its first national tour, charmed the students with selections from early American pioneer composers and with some of the well known show tunes. Paul Draper and Larry Adler, with their unusual presentation of comedy and classicism, made their first appearance here on March 1. Playing at Tech following the close of their annual season in New York, the famous pair offered a well received program of classic har¬ monica music with dance adaptations. . t Above: The Dallas Symphony orchestra, one of the leading symphonic groups in the nation and a season’s feature on the Louisiana Tech Concert Association’s booking. Under the direction of Antal Dorati, the orchestra pre¬ sented two performances at Tech on January 19. Below: Spike Jones and a sprinkling of his cohorts, who set Howard Audi¬ torium reverberating on the afternoon and night of February 2 in two different presentations. “The Glass Menagerie” The Glass Menagerie,” Tennessee Wil¬ liams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, was pre¬ sented in the Little Theater on March 8, 9, 10, 11, by the Tech Theater Players. Star¬ ring roles were enacted by Betty Jo Sheppard, Margaret Fisher, Douglas Murphy, and Mabry Figures. IIII :; :i “The Barber of Seville” Presented on March 14 under the auspices of the Philharmonic Society, the famed Charles L. Wagner production of “The Bar¬ ber of Seville,” Rossini’s two-act comic opera, featured Edward Nyborg, top left, as Count Alma viva; Emile Renan, top right, as Dr. Bartolo, and G raciela Silvian, lower right, as Rosina. Other well-known operatic stars in the cast included Val Patacchi, Emily Kalter, Frank Capelli, Walter Blazer and Paul Brei- sach. THE TECH J° e H.

Appearing in better physical condition than their Texas conference foes, the Bulldogs displayed a fleet array of back- field talent to the fans. Particularly outstanding were three left halfbacks, Joe Rabb, James Bres, and Jimmy Harrison. Harrison hit pay dirt twice for the Techmen and Rabb car¬ ried the ball for the Bulldogs’ third score. With most of their offensive plays broken up before they could get underway, the closest the Yellow Jackets ever came to scoring was when they drove to the Tech 11 yard line early in the first quarter. A. G. Anderson Plain Dealing Center Thomas Brantley Haynesville Guard TECH 17, BRADLEY UNIVERSITY 14 With the educated toe of Joe Michael spelling the margin of victory for the Bulldogs, the Tech eleven defeated the Bradley University Braves of Peoria, Illinois, by a score of 17-14 here on September 27. Michael chalked up the winning points early in the first period with a 25-yard field goal. Among the standouts in the first meeting of the two teams, generally conceded to be one of the best games of the season, were linesmen Jack Kelly and Rudolph Smith and guards Ed Stassi and Melvin Barney. Tech picked up 204 yards on the ground while holding the Bradley Braves to only 64. Jack Brittain Monroe Halfback Anthony Cefalu Shreveport End t TECH 13, AUBURN 13 Displaying a second-half powerhouse, the Tech Bull¬ dogs came from behind to lead the Auburn Tigers briefly in the fourth quarter before the tilt ended in a 13-13 dead¬ lock. Playing before a homecoming crowd of 12,000 at Au¬ burn, the Tech defensive work ground the Tigers to a halt, allowing the Alabama team only 68 yards rushing and 12 yards by the aerial route during the second half. Leo Sanford, Center, started the Teclnnen rolling when he intercepted a pass in the third period and raced for a touchdown, which was called back on a clipping penalty. Arnold Matthews, halfback, provided the sparking run of the game when he intercepted a pass and ran 60 yards for a score, which put the Bid 1 dogs in a temporary lead.

In their initial encounter, the two teams buckled down early to a see-saw game which saw the lead change so often even the officals became confused. Long running plays and fast passes characterized the game, which was played at Houston. Turning in an excep¬ tional performance for the Tech team were Joe Rabb, Lind¬ sey Aucoin, Jimmy Harrison and Arnold Matthews, who led the Tech ball carriers in the game by turning in 89 yards rushing in eight attempts. tech 21, LOUISIANA COLLEGE 7 Dipping into the Gulf States Conference for the first time, the Bulldogs won over the hapless Wildcats of Louisi¬ ana College, 21-7. The Techsters passed their way to vic¬ tory, with Arnold Matthews scoring first early in the game when he tagged an end-zone pass from Jimmy Harrison. After hitting pay dirt again in the third quarter on a pass from Joe Rabb to Tony Cefalu, the Bulldogs took to the land route to round the game off. Jack Brittain plowed around the end for the final tally of the game. The Canines amassed 16 first downs to the Wildcats’ 6. Bob Horen man Plain Dealing End TECH 10, NORTHWESTERN 7 Playing in the annual State Fair game at Shreveport the Bulldogs effectively deflated the Demon’s ego with Joe Michael’s 29-yard field goal in the third quarter. Tied 7-7 at halftime, the game, watched by more than 12,000 fans reached a climax when Michael booted the pigskin between ' the uprights for his second game-winning field goal of the 1948 season. Jimmy Harrison, leading ground gainer in the Confer¬ ence, scored the only touchdown for Tech when he went around his own right end from the five yard line. Michael’s field goal was set up by Rudolph Smith, who recovered a Demon fumble on the NSC eight yard line. Joe Lynch Shreveport Tackle TECH 19, SOUTHWESTERN 13 Forced to go all out in the fourth quarter to beat the battling Lions of Southeastern Louisiana College, the Tech Bulldogs maintained their lead in the Gulf State conference by shading the downstaters, 19-13, in the homecoming classic here. Anold Matthews, right halfback, scored all three touch¬ downs in the Southeastern tilt. Trailing 13-6 at halftime, and knotted 13-all in the third quarter, the Techmen forged ahead for the first time late in the fourth quarter when Joe Rabb, Bobby Ail let, and A. C. Schiro worked the ba ll down to the enemy’s 17 yard line. Matthews ripped off the needed yardage for a touchdown. Leo Sanford Shreveport Center TECH 20, MEMPHIS STATE 14 Andrew Seely Teague, Texas Guard Breaking a deadlock in the last minute of the game, the Tech Bulldogs trimmed the Tigers of Memphis State, 20-14 here Thanksgiving day, ending the local football season. Matthews, Harrison and Schiro pushed over the scores for the Bulldogs, with Joe Michael adding the extra points. The crowd, diminished by the Thanksgiving absence of many of the students, watched as Tech’s last minute bid for vic¬ tory gathered speed in the waning 50 seconds of the game. Trailing 13-14, the Bulldogs marched from the Tigers’ 47 to the 27 yard line. Schiro then tore ahead to the three, from where Matthews went around left end to give Tech the vic¬ tory. LOUISIANA TECH 24, SOUTHWESTERN 14 James Bres Leonard Vogt Gerald Mardis Ed Stassi Tames PoweU Arnold Ma Jerry Alexam Bob Aillet The Tech Bulldogs picked up their third straight con¬ ference win when they downed the Southwestern Louisiana eleven 24-14 before a homecoming crowd of 8,000 at Lafayette. Outstanding players included Carrell Dowies, A. C. Schiro, and Jimmy Harrison. LOUISIANA TECH 6, MISSISSIPPI SOUTHERN 20 The Southerners kept the fleet Tech backfield men bot¬ tled up during the entire tilt and long runs were at a prem¬ ium as the Bulldogs suffered their second defeat of the season. Fighting in a game which, for all practical purposes, was to decide the conference championship, the Techmen went down 6-20, taking second place in the loop.

Booked for eighteen games for the 1949 season, the Techmen have played three as this section goes to press. In an exhibition tilt with the Shreveport Sports, the Canines lost, 5-3. In an encounter with the Vicksburg Billies, the Techmen won, 9-8, but were nosed out in a follow-up game by a 4-1 defeat played at Vicksburg.

TRACK With nine returning lettermen and a large number of squad candidates, the Tech track team opened the 1948 season with a 103-20 victory here over Louis¬ iana College. Following up their initial victory, the Techsters journeyed to Clinton, Miss., where they edged out the Mississippi College Choctaws by a 78% - 53% margin. After engaging in two tri angular meets, in which they lost and won respectively, the Bulldogs took on the Demons, losing out in the final event, 60-67. The final meeting of the year was the Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference Track meet at Natchitoches, where Ray Booth, technically, won the track meet for the Southwestern team! With Southwestern holding a six-point lead over Northwestern but unable to place a finalist in the javelin throw, Booth made a record toss, giving Tech five points in that event and preventing Northwestern from obtaining enough points to win. Southwestern copped the victory and made Booth an honorary member in their letter club. 1948 Lettermen.

L. Henry Faculty Sponsor The Kappa Alpha Order was founded December 21, 1865 at Washington College, (now Washington and Lee Univer¬ sity) Virginia. Although Kappa Alpha has a national status as a fraternity, it has never expand¬ ed above the Mason-Dixon line, and is often referred to as “the Fraternity of Southern Gentle¬ men. ” The local chapter was formed at Tech as the Pentagon club, and was installed as Gamma Al¬ pha chapter of Kappa Alpha on October 18, 1947. An important part of the philosophy of the Order is the conviction, carried out by the many charitable activities of the group, that men should be more concerned with what they can give than with what they can get. The colors of the Order are crimson and old gold, and the flowers are the crimson rose and the magnolia blossom, the tra¬ ditional flower of the South. The “spiritual founder” of the fraternity is Robert E. Lee, and Kappa Alpha seeks to make a strong contribution to useful manhood by inculcating n j young manhood those gifts an virtues that were embodied ui the life of Robert E. Lee.

In 1927 one of the girl’s organization on the campus became affiliated with Lambda Theta, and was later installed as Alpha Chi chapter of Kappa Delta on April 25, 1931. Of the four original founders of Kappa Delta, two are living today and were present at the Fiftieth anniversary convention held at Virginia Beach, Vir¬ ginia, in the summer of 1947. The national group established as its anniversary gift a Kappa Delta re¬ search fellowship of $1,000 annually. The recipient of the fellowship need not be a member of Kappa Delta. National Kappa Delta supports five beds in the Crippled Children’s hos¬ pital, Richmond, Va. The local chapter’s philanthropies include the support of a child in the Ruston orphanage and financial aid for spastic children in the Ruston area. The organization also sponsors a Brownie Scout troop in Ruston. Sorority colors are olive green and pearl white; the rose is its flower. Group shot taken at the Kappa Delta Spring formal.

Stephen Alonzo Jackson, one of the early initiates, embodied in the ritual the early European tradition which takes Kappa Sig¬ ma back in spirit to the Univer¬ sity of Bologna in the year 1400, when a mutual-protection so¬ ciety was founded by a group of students. Kappa Sigma is composed to¬ day of 116 chapters, and is the third largest fraternity in the na¬ tion — in both number of active members and number of chap¬ ters. During the late ’20’s a local fraternity, Omega Kappa, func¬ tioned as a social group until a charter was granted by the na¬ tional Kappa Sigma. The mem¬ bers of Omega Kappa became the Epsilon-Gamma chapter of Kap¬ pa Sigma in 1941. A strong alumni chapter m Ruston contributes its suppoit at all times to Epsilon Gamma.

Chapters have been placed on¬ ly in four year colleges and uni¬ versities of high standing. Sig¬ ma Kappa chapters today extend across the nation and Sigma Kappa strives to promote service, spiritual standards, cultural de¬ velopment, and high scholarship and intellectual standards among its members and alumnae. The first emblem of the sor¬ ority was a ring; the second was a monogram, of which the pres¬ ent pledge pin is a replica. In 1894 the pin now worn by Sig¬ ma Kappas all over the world was adopted. The colors are lavendar and maroon, and the violet is the sorority flower. Some of the significant honors for the Beta Epsilon chapter at Tech during 1948-49 included the first place award in the homecoming parade for their “Orchids To The Team” home¬ coming float; a homecoming maid; a State Fair Maid; two cheerleaders; three members in Gamma Epsilon; two members in the Women’s League, and one member elected as Treasurer of the Blue Jackets. Sigma Kappa’s national phil- antropy is the Maine Sea Coast Mission, a national pro¬ ject since 1918. The local phn anthropy consists of the support of an orphaned boy at the loca Methodist orphanage. Above: Sigma Kappas and t dates during their spring formal 1 termission party.

Tau Kappa Epsilon is now com¬ posed of sixty-eight chapters and is currently conducting an exten¬ sive expansion program. Anoth¬ er chapter was recently added with the installation of the Beta Phi chapter at Louisiana State University. The local chapter had its be¬ ginning in 1898, and was recog¬ nized as Alpha Omega, a local fraternity, in 1901. The organi¬ zation became Delta chapter of Alpha Lambda Tau in 1924; on April 11, 1947, that organiza¬ tion merged with Tau Kappa Epsilon. Fraternity colors are cherry and gray; the carnation is the official flower. In less than a year after the local group be¬ came affiliated with Tau Kappa Epsilon ,two members achieved distinction in national affairs of the fraternity. Eddie B. Pohl was elected national travelling secretary and Dean W. L. Mitch¬ ell was appointed Grand Hy- pophetes (Chaplain) of the na¬ tional organization.

THE STUDENT SENATE George Briley James O. Graves Eugenia McBride Norman Bortz John M. Futch L. J. Fox President First Vice-President Second Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Faculty Sponsor The Student Body Association was organized in the school year of 1937-38. The executive powers of the association are invested in the organization called the Student Senate. The officers of the Student Body are the officers of the Senate and are chosen by secret ballot in the spring of each year. The main purposes of the organization are to foster school spirit, to stimulate closer cooperation between the students and the faculty, to promote worthy projects in the interest of the entire student body, and to promote general student activities. This organization is the voice of the students and its actions are therefore based upon the will of the ma¬ jority of the student body. During the war years the Senate was not in full operation, and suffered, immedi¬ ately after the war, from lack of interest and a lack of student knowledge concerning the possibilities and pow¬ ers of the Senate. In the words of its 1948-49 members, ‘‘The Senate’s main hope is to build a bigger and better Tech and to give the students a school they will be proud of in years to come.” Student Senate members in session, below.
