Students enrolled in photography examine some of their first prints which they devel- oped. Often times the only quiet place to study is outside, although it may mean bundling-up to escape the cold of winter. La Recette, the recipe, is one step which most Cajun chefs ignore in preparing a sauce piquante. While recipes for this dish can be found in most French cookbooks, a Cajun generally makes it off the top of his head, adding something a bit different each time, which makes eating a sauce piquante a chal- lenging, yet exciting event. Although our tiger chef uses a recipe and does not seem to be an authentic Cajun in doing so, he soon finds his kitchen cluttered with books, cards, and notes. Eventually, he discovers the secret of French cooking - doing what comes naturally. Soon, by sheer Louisiana ima i- ' nation, he finds himself in the midst of magic- 'Ja Recette ing a roux, crying over peppers, onions, and iZZi?2Qnii2pi?LTlifE,fElnf5eZfn'QZTL'Si?

Should not this one have graduated by now? He has been here long enough! , l Certainly sauce piquante is a Cajun dish. but this pepper gravy incorporates all the flare and excitement of the French delicacies with the usual ingredients of southern cui- sine. In fact, this recipe is much like the peo- ple who make up LSUA. As the Simon's, White's, and .lohnson's of north-central Louisiana mix and mingle with the Siemon's, LaBlanc's and Jeansonne's of south-central Louisiana. a unique and thrilling populace is created, just as the common and unusual ingredients of a sauce piquante blend together to form a zesty and flavorful French dish. Thus LSUA could be considered a sauce piquante, a melting pot of sorts where two different cultures have come together and formed a wonderful school with about 1600 students and 90 faculty members. Certainly LSUA and the surrounding area is a sauce piquante. Yet, it is a sauce piquante that is undergoing changes. As you turn through this edition of the Sauce Piquanle, may you find it seasoned just right. with enough fat on the meat to make it fla- vorable, but with enough lean to give it body and taste. Hopefully, the changes will agree with you and provide many moments of fond memories in the years to come. A ll? NR NE NC llllnllll HID NIE llllglllll Q AU? Smiles radiate the thought that classes are over as a student realizes that he can now go home. Cold and fatigue become some of the disad- vantages of the winter as two students take time to relax in the union. Those hours of boredom between classes pass by faster when enjoying the company of friends. l Opening 5 ' K 6 Buildings Cluttered itch n ll suyyli mr '2. 'J VN? A Nam' k While many Cajuns use no type of recipe our tiger chef's cooking experience is lim ited. and he must rely upon his recipe file. However. recipe cards only tend to clutter his kitchen. confusing him completely '... somehow. though. a sauce piquante is always the end result. Just as the recipe serves as the basis or beginning of the development of a good sauce piquante. so do the buildings of LSLA act as the base of all activities and functions on the campus. And while some may be considered modest in comparison to other universities. this plant serves the people of the college well. They act as an identifica- tion system. giving LSIQA a unique charac- teristic. something which tells you that you have made it. you have arrived on campus. From a bright blue water tower which rises like an obelisk against the usual rainy skyline to the most permanent temporary building ever to be found. LSUA certainly develops its own physique Yet. as any qualified gourmet would update his recipes. so has the campus begun to undergo changes. With a new two million dollar Nursing complex under construction and monies appropriated for renovation of the student union. LSUA begins to take on a new shape. However. it has a long way to go before it loses many of the unique scars of its adolescence. Sunrises on country roads are a common experience for most students of this com muter school. B Student Life Divider fi 4' l . Long afternoons spent digging through stacks of reference material create that common form of college depression, the term paper blues. Calculations with hopeful expectations are the desire of John Fletcher as he strives to arrive at the correct solution. Le Roux - the starting place of every good sauce piquante. With this combination of flour and a small amount of cooking oil, the final outcome of the sauce piquante is determined. With too much oil, the dish will be greasy. If the roux is allowed to brown too fast and is not stirred often, it will burn, giv- ing the piquante a burnt, flat taste. And if the roux is not allowed to cook enough, the dish will have little flavor at all. Andjust as the roux is the basis for a good sauce piquante, the organizations, events, academics, and activities provide for a good school. Thus, the student life section is given the name Le Roux. Hopefully, it will be browned and seasoned just right to give the sauce piquante the exciting and delicious fla- vor which everyone enjoys. 6:72215 f 41, l' I-lvuvvg f Once dotting the countryside of Avoyellcs Parish. old cabins like these are now becom- ing harder to find.

The Episcopal Church of north- ern Avoyelles Parish. which was established during the early l9th century. has seen much of the history of south-central Louisiana. Another day dawns on the farm. awakening farmers who provide much of the economic strength -to this area. Being only eighteen years old. LSUA cer- tainly has not seen much of the excitement and flare of Louisiana history. However. with this campus serving as a commuter school. strong emphasis is placed on commu- nity involvement. and thus the history of the surrounding areas incorporates itself into this college. With the days of the horse and buggy long gone. it is touching to look back to those days of yesteryear. when everything was much simpler and more placid. With Marjan Studio of Bunkie supplying the color photos of the scenic history and life of south- central Louisiana. the Sauce Piquante was able to capture part of the history of this fas- cinating area. The discovery of oil in this area brought new people and more jobs and money to the uni- que Cajun culture. Community Coveroge I I A Y xv. 2fA2Li??L.

Five dollarsfll Five dollars for what'?! The fee for a returned check!'?! Help! I'm ruined!l Probably one of the greatest responsibili- ties of going to college is managing money. balancing a checkbook, and making ends meet. Whether it's a month of inflation or recession. the balance of funds always seems to fall short. Ever since the age of majority was lowered from 21 to I8. college students have been identified as a poverty-level group. As such they and their parents have received little relief from Uncle Sam. Therefore, as the cost of education continues to rise. the col- lege student must become adept at the art of juggling figures. constant battle of meeting expenses. and remaining solvent at the same time. Digging deep into the pocket. Bruce Melder comes up with the funds for a gourmet meal as Robert Mays and Scott Stanley look on. Think it's bad now - wait a few years! F! Prices 23 Packet Procedure Giving advice on which Math courses to take. Mrs. Sue Eakin and Mr. James Gauthier counsel one of many students. Confusion is one of the many pains as Mrs, Faye Reynolds tries to direct Teresa Clifton to the proper station. Let's see now, what's my student number again, asks Annette Simonson, as she hur- riedly fills out one of many schedule cards. What do you mean my packet isn't ready? . . . but it's raining outside. I,ll be soaked by the time I go across campus to the Administrations Office . . . I can't register without it, huh . . . Okay, but if I catch pneumonia and die, it's your fault. This conversation describes well what college reg- istration is all about - except for one step - or maybe one hundred steps. Termed by many as the worst part of going to college, registration luckily only occurs three times a year at LSUA. From picking up registration packets to paying fees, registration takes around two hours, if one is lucky - if not. well, tomorrow is another day. The packet checking station marks the half- way point of the registration ordeal, Filling out schedule cards is one of the boring tasks which all students must endure during registration. Registration 25 Liberalizing the Arts These students practice and rehearse lines in foreign language so they may learn a lan- guage through practical experience modern techniques. awww!

With courses offered in lib- eral arts, sciences. nursing, business adminis- tration, library science, and military science. LSUA has academic opportunities for almost every need of the student. The univer- sity also offers a wide variety of non-aca- demic courses for those not interested in obtaining a degree. The necessary English and notorious his- tory and geography classes are efficiently governed by competent instructors. These professors allow periods for students to par- ticipate in class. share points of view which make for interesting discussion, and provide time for answering questions. aside from the general lecture found in all the liberal arts. Speech. psychology. and foreign languages tend to give students an abundance of free- dom to express themselves openly while they learn these disciplines. Armed with keypunch machines, typewrit- ers. duplicating processors, adding machines. and terminals. students learn to battle through business. Being bombarded with practice sets in accounting, flow charts in computer science. and constant homework in finance and economics. one survives with continuous study and hard work. The skills of computer programming, accounting, office administration. economics, finance, and other valuable tools of the business world are a part of the business curriculum. Exuberant feelings are expressed by these two speakers while demonstrating their ability to reach an audience through reader's theatre. Academics Academics 27 In the frenzy, artists mash, squash, squeeze. press, and mold creations of art from crude, wet clay. Expression is the key word in describing the various courses offered in the fine arts. From transforming grimy clay to extrava- gant articles in pottery to bringing dead fig- ures to life with charcoal and paper, students reveal their innermost thoughts through art. This decision allows students the opportu- nity to create and explore their own individ- ual realm of talent through painting, sketch- ing, molding, sculpturing, and designing. For those who are unable to express their ideas with their hands, photography can become their mode of expression. During the spring semester, photography was offered for the first time, giving students the opportunity to acquire new skills in dark room technique and camera skills and enabling them to become more familiar with their cameras. With such variety in the fine arts courses, students have found a way to express them- selves creatively and precisely. The future of this clay cup lies completely in the fingers of a young student probably majoring in sculpture, Academics 28 Academics '46 1 i .Ny N' The right touch with the proper color may be just what's needed. Interesting dimensions are gained through the use of clay. Altogether utilitarian objects may be the end result or one may create something else of beauty for beauty's sake. Skill, talent, and long moments of concentra- I V 'i tion bring the canvas nearer to life.

Dr. Wells pre- pares solutions for such a venture. There are abundant and adequate facilities located in the science building which provides students in medicine and science with tools for further learning.

Hickman pulS in a little overtime while assisting a pupil with some of his math related troubles. Calculations with hopeful expectations are the desires of students who take courses in the department of science. Here one learns and applies to his studies technical aspects in the life and physical sciences as well as math- ematics. From enduring late Friday after- noon civil engineering lab to withstanding the antagonizing experience of dissecting a slimy. year-old frog. one can only hope for the best with the arrival of grades at the end of the semester. Not only do students worry with their marks in lah but there are lectures, homework. term papers and examinations to add to an already hectic schedule. Burning midnight oil. trying to solve cal- culus derivatives. one learns the discipline needed for continuing in higher mathemat- ics. Some. however. are not so disciplined and arrange their schedules to meet only the necessary requirements of the elementary mathematics. With a variety of courses offered in mathematics. students can find courses which are best suited for their needs. There is nothing like warming up one's notes heforejumping into the fire of a complicated experiment. Academics 3l Hos ital Procedures Academics At Rapides General Hospital, nursing stu- dents learn the proper techniques of reading X-rays under the supervision of faculty. Hey. Nurse! l'm going to faint! Catch me! Not a bad line to try on one of the many attractive women in nursing. but you'd better look for that ring first! And now with the nursing department expanding and a new nursing complex being built, men have begun to move into this curriculum once dominated by women. After basic skills have been taught and certain courses taken, student nurses have the opportunity to learn practical procedures at some of the hospitals and convalescent homes in the Alexandria area. This allows for on-the-job trainingg the best educational experience can be sought in a modern soci- ety. They perform such duties as making beds. reading X-rays. and assisting other medical personnel. This gives the students valuable training needed for beginning their careers. With such a program. LSUA can be proud of its nursing department. Its overwhelming success is one of the many reasons for this university's becoming so popular in central Louisiana. ln a rather unorganized assembly, class mem- bers await the upcoming lecture with a less than enthusiastic attitude. After weighing dichlorobenzyne, Trula Croom investigates the contents to prepare them for a final analysis.

Teamwork means another victory for Connie Gaspar and Cindy Rachal. Taking a break from class, Sunshine Bon munches on a bag of chips as her mother, Kathy, a pre-med major, watches. From 7:45 until 3:00 the LUS-A Union is the scene of card games, gossip sessions, cof- fee consumption, television viewing, pool competitions, and other forms of relaxation. Almost everyone on the campus uses the Union at one time or the other during the day, but some people - well, they seem always to be there. These are our Unionites. Filled with adventure and frolic, the Unionite's day begins with breakfast from scrambled eggs and bacon to a heated honey bun. Of course, breakfast isn't complete without stopping by the coffee table, where 156 buys a delicious cup of hot, steaming coffee. Remember: don't forget the 1502! A big decision then awaits the Unionite - which lucky group is going to have the pleas- ure of his company. After breakfast, the Unionite strolls casu- ally into the T.V. room, where he can catch a game show or two, and maybe even one of the early morning soaps Enough T.V.! On to the game room for bigger and better adventures. The shrewd Unionite knows from experience not to try either of the pin- ball machines: he finds pool and foosball much more profitable. Lunchtime hails the opening of the cafeteria which features a dif- ferent meal every day - rice and gravy or gravy and rice. A leisurely lunch is a must for the Unionite. One o'clock rolls around, and the Unionite decides to try his luck at a few hands of cards. Time passes quickly. Soon another hard day,s work draws to a close as so- longf' bye, and se ya are exchanged. Thus ends another day in the life and times of an LSU-A Unionite.

Sing a Song Upon finishing a number during their per- formance in the student union. the chorus pauses. Total concentration and participation are prevalent and quite necessary for a good sound from a large group. 1 1 l J l At times singing can become very tiresome. hut rest assured that the immediate attention spans are not affected. 36 Chorus I- Here is a typical classroom scene illustrating the hard work and dedication which is neces- sary to prepare for a concert. The LSUA Chorale is one of the newest and most interesting classes offered on cam- pus. While it is considered a class and credit can be earned, the chorale acts more like an organization. performing at various churches and for different organizations in this area. It is a participation class. and participation is a key-word which Dr. William Lucas, the director. will not let one forget. Dr. Lucas, who sang with professional opera companies in Europe for several years, works in coordi- nating not only the chorus, but also the other expanding music courses offered. The suc- cess of the chorale may be attributed to him. yet many members of it have taken the responsibility to see that a fine music pro- gram be offered and expanded on this cam- pus. It is this which gives the music program its life. Avid and alert chorale students observe Dr. Lucas intensely as they enter the introduction of a number. SGA President Vince Robertson reviews the calendar of events during a business meeting. The Student Government Association of LSUA is one of the most active organizations on campus. Its services to the school include everything from selling valentines to live entertainment. Whether it be circulating petitions or setting up a coffee table, the SGA is constantly trying to improve our school. Each year the association holds elec- tions for class representatives. which give the students an opportunity to elect their favor- ite councilmen. This exercise gives the stu- dents at LSUA an effective voice in the affairs of their school. Projects and activities to be taken up in the future are planned. 38 Student Government lim X, ,, tm., W ffxfillrffaf wt? fel? .W , .2 4 wg, ,ff -Wt, fy ' .eq ' 'W 5 4.

Cars. trucks. vans. jeeps. buses, and various other rigs truck on down to LSUA. At a glance. truckin' may seem sim- ple. but truckin' is as much an art as prepar- ing sauce piquante and requires almost as many ingredients. some of which are talent and proper equipment. What does talent have to do with truckin'? Well. one must have talent to truck at all while groggy from sleep andfor from listening to lengthy lec- tures. The equipment necessary is obvious - books. pencils. a reliable rig. and a good. LOUD alarm clock. But most important of all. is just plain ole desire - the desire for knowledge. a better education. and hopefully a rewarding career. So - keep on truckin'. y'all.

This college branch of the Kiwanis Club plays a vital role in serving the people of cen- tral Louisiana. The Fall semester saw the most radical change ever brought about by Circle K. For the first time in the history of the club at LSU-A, girls were allowed to become active members and participate in all activities. This allowed for the club. with its increased membership, to take on many other worth- while projects which would not have been possible otherwise. Circle K has been most active in raising money and donating their physical labor for the upgrade of the zoo at the Alexandria park. This organization put on a massive blood drive during the Fall semester. appeal- ing to all students who actually donated part of themselves so that others may benefit. One of the most rewarding and satisfying projects taken on this year was the club,s help in working with the children at St. Mary's. By working with those not so fortu- nate as themselves, the club learned that helping others is the greatest self-satisfaction in life. While many other projects and activi- ties were undertaken during the school year. these seemed to be the ones which the mem- bers found most helpful and rewarding. af' Many LSU-A students found time to give during this Circle K blood drive. 5x Being Active N: W At the Alexandria zoo, Circle K members help replenish run-down animal cages. lx mceun Dr. Clcxcliilnl addresses mcmhcrs nl gn Circle ' 1 U il . wi if .J- .xx A v- ' ,KV ,Y . in x f w - W Receiving his induction as an officer from Dr. Cheatwood is Gary Lacombe.

While all the various ingredients combine in such a way as to give a sauce piquante its unique flavor and characteristics, the pepper actually gives it a pungent and hot taste. Generally, Cajuns prefer their food hot and spicy, and by adding an extra dash or two of pepper to this dish, they are able to keep within their practice of making a sauce piquante hot. Just as the pepper of a sauce piquante gives a unique touch to the dish, the sports' programs at all schools give a unique touch to these institutions. Like the pepper, it is athletics which make the school year exciting and fun, whether you are a spectator or par- ticipant. And while the sports' program at LSUA is still in the development stages, this program has made the university a unique and flavorful,, school. Soon, however, ath- letics will be able to give a dash or two to the overall program of this school, instead of the pinch,' they are now giving during their development.

Tennis 75 ew Coaches Introduce Added to LSU-A this year were three new inter-collegiate programs - women's basket- ball, men's basketball, and baseball. This organizational year has been filled with ordering uniforms and equipment, schedul- ing games for upcoming seasons, and attend- ing numerous other details necessary for get- ting off to a solid start. To handle these tasks, LSUA has acquired two new coaches, Larry W. Perkins and Donald F. Barker. No newcomer to the coaching field is Larry Perkins. During his ten years of coach- ing experience, he and his basketball teams have claimed three district championships and three runner-up spots. He was selected outstanding coach of his district four times. Coach Perkins will coach both the men's bas- ketball and baseball teams. Don Barker's many years of basketball experience will come in handy as he takes control of the women's basketball program and assists in coaching the men's basketball team. During high school, he was selected to be on the district team for two years and was chosen the most valuable player as a senior. In college Coach Barker played on the LSU basketball team in l97l-1973. After complet- ing his studies, he was the football and bas- ketball coach at Central Lafourche High School. With two highly qualified coaches, LSUA is off to a great start in its inter-collegiate sports program. 76 Basketball During warmup drills, Coach Perkins and Coach Barker pose for a pre-game picture.

I978 marked the first year of inter-col- legiate competition for the LSUA men's basketball team under the direction of Coach Larry Perkins. Of course, the first year was filled primarily with scrimmage games against more experienced competi- tion to give the team a chance to experi- ment with different offensive and defen- sive strategies. Coach Perkins was extremely pleased with this yearls out- come and is looking forward to next year when the LSUA men's basketball team will be getting up against a full inter- collegiate schedule of stiff competition.

Basketball 81 February 28. l978 - that historic date when LSUA baseballers ran onto the field with only two weeks of practice under their cleets and walked off after 9 innings with a 13-2 defeat tucked tightly by the hip-side. lt took eighteen years for it to happen, but it did become a reality. For the first time, LSUA fielded an intercollegiate baseball team against Wiley College in their season opener. But, as a result of hard practice and sheer determination on the part of each player, these athletes pulled together their winning talents and came back with out- standing brevity and composure to proudly stuff many victories into their new sewn pocket of success. A tradition was established during the new-born season with sister campus LSU in Eunice. A five game series was played. and LSUA captured the first honor by bringing home the teamls first trophy without a loss. The new Bengals have hopefully started a winning tradition at LSUA, not only from game scores, but through a sportsman-like approach to the true concept of competition. 5,4 -'..

It takes much discipline. time. and hard work to excel in any sport. Evidence of this training can be seen on the tennis courts, in the bas- ketball gym. outside where intramural foot- ball takes place. on the badminton court. on the golf course. and throughout various sec- tions ofthe P.E. building. Many student and faculty members spend extra hours keeping in practice and bettering themselves in their sport. With the discomforts of sore muscles. sweaty apparel. and the terrible smell of oint- ment. the athlete with determination will take these things in stride. Maybe it's the thrill of competition that causes people to give so much of themselves to sports. What- ever the reason. sports will always be a part of the social way. Q Students enjoy a game of badminton as a P.E. activity. 88 Intramurals lt s time to turn the ball over to the other side as Keith Hillman punts.

We apologize to Mr. Coco for this error and hope that this sets the record straight. Keeping the grounds raked and the grass mowed becomes an important part of making any school successful. In a sauce piquante the seasonings combine in such a way as to give the dish flavor and quality. This collection of onions. bell pepper, garlic, and other herbs and spices actually give the sauce piquante its classf' Without them, this Cajun delicacy would be nothing more than an ordinary stew. In the same manner, the fac- ulty of any college combines in such a way as to give the school a certain class Whether these so-called seasonings work together to enhance the flavor of the school, or whether they are 'fstrong and pungentv and make the school spicy and uniquef' the faculty literally develops the mark of distinction of the school. And it is this mark which provides a key to the college,s educational quality. 90 Faculty Divider S-O-O-O-o-o-o-e-e-e! Y! E .,'f- M ,fn A 1 X, Q 4g ..,, ,fw 'gf 'L if' ,fi K WX 7 I Q74 L5 fQ C?

Nipper Superintendent, Dean Lee Agriculture Center Experiment Station Used b Area Farmers Keeping track of blood samples of cattle tested becomes a very important task as farm- ers depend on correct information. Various strains of bacteria are tested to see if they may be the cause of disease in livestock, at' Farmers throunhout eentral Louisiana use this livestock station to determine causes of various disease in cattle. 104 Livestock Experiment Station Dr. Blake Blakewood serves with the Diagnostic Laboratory. The Dean Lee Agricultural Center is located south of Alexandria on a 3100 acre tract of land donated to LSU by the Federal Govemment in 1945 for use as a school of vocational agriculture. The vocational school was discontinued in l959 when LSUA was established. On July l of I967. all agriculture research and agricultural operations were transferred to the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station. With the establishment of a branch experiment station. new facilities including a modern feed mill and dryers. shops. equipment sheds. seed and stor- age building. horse barn. and lagoon-type steer feeding barns have been completed. Two major categories of Agronomy Research are conducted at LSUA: varietal experiments with cotton, corn, and soybeans. and experiments designed to study the effects of fertilization on their yield. The Livestock Testing station is a por- tion of LSU's Agriculture Experiment Station. Its programs are designed to collect data for analysis. to identify genetically superior animals. and to dis- seminate information related to progressive. mod- ern, and economical methods of livestock produc- tion. Various laboratory equipment and chemicals are used in analyzing the death and diseases of livestock. Livestock Experiment Station 105 Taking first-place in oratory competition at the spring speech festival, Derrel Goodman delivers his speech about the dangers of drunken driving. Will I make it on time? becomes the thought of this student as he hurriedly makes strides across campus. Whether it's lean or fat, big chunks or little pieces of beef or pork, the meat of a sauce piquante makes up the body of the dish. These different types of meat add a certain flavor and taste to a sauce piquante, making it a hodge-podge of just about everything. From the fat which allows good flavor to the lean which gives you something to bite into, the Cajun delicacy soon begins to take shape as the meat is added. And while you may cook it a little longer or stir it harder, once the meat of a sauce piquante is mixed, the taste is determined. Much like the meat of a sauce piquante, the students of a college make up the body of the school. Each has a certain quality or flavor, giving the school its uniqueness. Without this unique collec- tion, all colleges would become stereotypes with all having the same flavor. Thus, as it is important to have various types of meat in a sauce piquante, it is just as important to have different types of students, each making up part of the body of the school with his own unique ways and ideas. Playing a hand of cards, smoking a cigarette, learning the latest gossip, or taking a quick nap, the Union becomes the meeting place of everyone on campus. l06 Classes Divider V A inzxfxkn 'hkunxsfgsi 1 1 lynn :Amir x-Ol WNV' V 'W' 7 L ' nn' : i lfli QC! iklilll K is CHU!!

That wonderful, mysterious, fluffy stuff that closed LSUA for two glori- ous days and let imaginations run rampant! If you saw the campus with its virgin blanket of snow, it was breathtakingly vivid, a pic- ture of unreality. In the muted stillness you could imagine that you were the first person to come upon this place in eous of time. Then running across the snow, you leave 'ic X i.,Ws l 'X -.. fqs if your imprint of being to claim it for your own. You can make snowpeople fif you are liberatedj or just a snowsculpture. You can make a snowfort and a pile of snowballs to attack anyone who gets within your range. Or, even better, you can make snow ice cream if you have Grandmotherfs recipe. But you must play fast, for already this wonder- ful stuff begins to leave, perhaps never to return. Certainly cold weather causes such disadvan- tages as cold hands and feet, and running noses and the flu, yet on some occasions it does paint a beautiful white landscape. now Blankets C mpus fi N -R07 5 x, fbi xv uf x '.i:f1. 3fL ff it 4 ,A-,lt ,fx ,ffl if- , g f -if ,,, .. .NCQ Q.. .H Q: , ',v. 4 1 ...,,,, . 1 .. wm 'ell W es. fa in-r ' -'+'1 2 i -ir.. , ,.

The fun and festivities of Sadie Hawkm s Day climax the end to the spring semester While the roux, pepper, seasonings, and meat are all important ingredients in prepar- ing a sauce piquante, the best part is actually eating the dish. In fact, Cajuns make a big fuss over the eating of this dish. Rarely is it ever served to just a few people, but nearly always a great crowd gathers to sample, taste, and devour this Cajun delight. It becomes a huge party, almost a festival to celebrate the cooking of this dish. In the same manner, the closing section of this book could be considered a festival, a cele- bration of the completion of this SAUCE PIQUAN TE. So, do not worry yourself with the preparations of this dish any longer, just relax, think of the good times you have spent, and enjoy your SA UCE PIQUAN TE. There is nothing like a good kiss to put one into the festive spirit of Sadie Hawkins Day. 148 Closing Divider JL 0765976 N-K! K . Qi K.. I . if QT1 .Q-Q..

This was the seventh annual LSUA Student Art Show which lasted from April 9th through May lst. The art show was held on the second floor of the library where one could glance at a wall or table and find all kinds of exciting exam- ples of students' works. Since the show was made public, the art students were able to expose their talents for open inspection and critique. Students and the public were enthusiastic about the displays. With the talent displayed in this show, we are already looking forward to next years' with all kinds of eagemess and good wishes. 515. 55 X ' t,.V W K , . . fe . ..

Donating time, money, and effort, LSUA's Circle-K members construct a much-needed cage at the Alexandria Zoo. How Did It Taste? 19 c '5 Where do I go from here? is the thought of Marc Bordelon and many other students who have taken a semester of lab. Well, how did you find the sauce piquante? Was it seasoned just right? And the pepper? Not enough I bet. Hopefully everything was perfect and you enjoyed every minute of eating. Still there is a little more left in the pot, and if you go back for seconds, you will find the sauce piquante much better. Probably each time you go back it will get better and better. But rest a bit in between. Too much of a good thing will make anyone sick. Yet remember to keep going back, for, in doing so, you will soon forget all the worry and hassle of preparing the dish. You will remember the fun and excitement of the festival. And isn't that what reminiscing over the sauce piquante. or should we say yearbook, is all about? Bored by today's lecture, a student decides to take time out to polish his fing- ernails. Discussion is centered around the future goals of LSUA as concerned students take part in a rap session with Dr. Cleveland. At the 1978 Honor's Day Convocation. Mr. Edward Caplan asked. through his speech to each person. Are you ready for change? Indeed. the 1977-78 school year has been a year of change at LSUA. With a new sports program. a new nursing complex. and new courses being offered. this campus is certainly changing. Yet. the question is Are we ready for change? not Are we changing? Could it be that some of these programs are being instituted too fast for some to become accustomed to them? ln essence. are we ready? Controversy lingered over the campus as the Master Plan for Higher Education was adopted by the Board of Regents. lt was inevitable that LSUA would have to make changes. But was everyone ready for these changes? There was even a change in the way this yearbook was produced. And while. hopefully. most everyone will agree that it was a change for the better. the staff had to prepare themselves for change. They had to make sure that it would be good. not only for the staff. but for the entire campus. Surely LSUA has changed much this year. But will l977-78 be considered the year of change at LSUA? lt will be the year when this campus asked itself. Are we ready for change? 'lvvo performances were held by the LSL A Chorale. each at the end of the fall and spring semesters. Director Bill Lucas cues in the soloist at the proper time.

ITOPQ What the heck if we miss a deadline or two, thinks Cliff Milligan, Sauce Piquante editor, as he drinks his lemonade in the cool, spring breeze. The Sauce Piquante is the sole publication of the 1978 yearbook staff of LSUA. This book is not intended to represent the opin- ions and ideals of the administration, faculty, staff, or students of this school, but it is thought to give a clear and nonprejudiced view of the school year on this campus. The book was printed by Taylor Publishing Com- pany of Dallas, Mr. Fred Elsing, Jr. - sales representative, by the offset lithography process on 80 pound dull enamel paper. The press run was 800 copies. Artwork on the cover and division pages was drawn by Richard Soileau. Cliff Milli- gan produced the theme and division pages and designed the classes' section.
