■ IB Opening j. ' . Every traveller needs a guide of some nature for their travels and exploits, whether it be a leather-bound volume purchased in a bookstore or simply word of mouth passed from one friend to another. Seasoned travellers will, at most times, alert the fledgling ones as to pitfalls and points of interest. Personal ex- perience is always the best teacher, but it never hurts to have a guidebook handy. The guidebook should be attractive, informative and con- cise. As well as being a fountain of knowledge, the reference should be enjoyable to peruse and not dry or dull. This edition of the Gumbo is meant to be used as the aforementioned guide. We, the Gumbo staff, hope that this book serves as an enjoyable recap of this academic year.

Cable of vontents 5 College is more than training ground for a career; it is an ex- perience preparing young adults for life on their own. College rips apart those bonds formed in high school, those bonds formed largely on proxim- ity, with friends one grew up with, with kids one lived near, and also those founded on com- mon interests. However the bonds were formed, friends from high school are usually more or less alike. Tim Hicks makes final adjustments on his entry in the ASMB ' mousetrap Hying ' contest. College changes that. While it is sometimes possible to fall back in with high school chums, more often it is not. On such a large campus one may never see one ' s closest aquaintances, and one needs to make new ties, to expand one ' s horizons. Perhaps the best way to do that is by joining an organization. Members of certain groups often have like ideals and goals, either short-term or long-term. The purpose of the groups can be either service, social or profes- sional. The professional organiza- Mackie Barnes.

Generally speaking, mecha- nical engineering majors would rather join the American Society of Mechanical Engineers than the Pre-Vet Club. At the same time, someone planning to attend law school might find the Pre — Law Association to be the group of choice. Other groups are service oriented. The members travel through life with the desire to help others. Alpha Phi Omega, Scotch Guard, Angel Flight and Circle K are organizations with the community in mind. Some campus groups are hon- orary, thus allowing only certain individuals to join. Collegium and Mortar Board are examples of groups selecting on scholastic achievement. Finally, there are the special interest groups. Probably the most diversified of all campus organizations, these include the Student Government Associa- tion, the various Union commit- tees, including film and fashion, the assorted house councils, the 4-H and the Block and Bridle Club.

Looking down, I discovered that it was a wooden desk weight- ed down with out of date tex- tbooks (copyright 1987) which was being used to prop open a heavy glass door. I freed myself, readjusted my cotton mill shoul- der tote with padded shoulder strap and extra back pocket large enough for legal pads, and con- tinued on. Hordes of scholars thirsting for knowledge crowded the hall- way through which I was trying to travel. I used the sleeve of my cowhide air corps jacket with snap-down collar and brass zip- per tabs to fend off the assorted plastic and metal drafting imple- ments which protruded from the The Hebert Law Center represents the academic side of LSU as it faces all by- passers on Highland Road 0t ' ' m ' i '  - pSaP £ ' j haSfcjgs . v A • ■ HR iifc a II Wfci-? MLT bags of other students. A wide assortment of majors were repre- sented in just the cross section of people visible. No stereotypes were too obvious, but, as I ling- ered to observe the fascinating creatures which are scholars, I noticed one individual discussing the finer points of Gwendolyn Brooks ' poetry with her compan- ion who clutched her French 4030 text to the breast of her whole-grain wool sweater. Another young woman reached into her canvas and leather camera bag to produce a copy of an economics assignment to share with her companion. At that point a young man clad in sturdy denim trousers and yukon sweatshirt collided with my shoulder tote. He paused to apologize and readjust his grip on the portable computer which he was trasporting to a demon- stration in CEBA. Exploring one ' s personality and preparing for future life is an important facet of academia. While it is important to keep up one ' s studies in the form of a GPA, one must also realize that grades and education are not necessarily synonymous. Some of the most valuable lessons in life come from experiences which one encounters in the atmosphere of higher learning, but not neces- sarily in a classroom. In my travels I have seen the exotic plumage of design which adds a pleasant contrast to the sienna hues of business adminis- tration. As I finally reach my des- tination and knock the dirt from my leather and canvas safari shoes 1 hear in the distance the flute-like cry of the music school. My pursuit of higher learning continues.

While intramural sports ha- ven ' t quite the public appeal as those big-money collegiate con- tests, they do allow more of the student population to become in- volved. Intramurals, or leisure sports, offer something for everyone. Oh, what a cliche, ' but it is so true. Tennis anyone? Racquet- ball, bowling? Hey, let ' s go shoot pool. ' Okay, perhaps pool isn ' t recognized as a leisure sport, but swimming is, and it takes place in a pool. For the not-so-weak at heart and of mus- cle, there ' s real football — rug- by. Try soccer for size, not so rough, but just as active. What! No ice? Floor hockey will have to do. The sports available are as varied as the different countries from which come many of the players. In September, all e yes become focused on the grid-iron. Tiger Stadium. Football season be- gins. The men in purple and gold set out, beginning their quest for a title sometimes at home, some- times away. They battle, their weapons: skill and strength, strategy and endurance. After the scores are tallied, the nation often honors our team with a LSU rugby means heavy doses of speed, agility and action. bowl game. The Sugar Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Liberty Bowl. LSU has played in each in the last decade; the Tigers are always out to add another to the list. Winter arrives and the action moves indoors. The ball becomes round and bounces. Basketball is the name of the game, but the thrill of victory and agony of de- feat remain the same. No bowls for the round-ballers, but there are tournaments — the SEC and the NCAA. The Tigers have re- cently become known as the Cin- derella team, defying all odds to advance to the upper eschleons of collegiate basketball. Spring arrives early in Louisiana, none too early for baseball, though. While not as brutal as football or as fast paced as basketball, baseball has the tendency to be unpredictable. A game, such as in the College World Series, can be won or lost with a single pitch. Let us not forget those smaller, yet no less important, college sports. Some sports, like basket- ball, offer teams for both men and women: the volleying of tennis: the precision of golf: track and field; and aquatic en- deavors — swimming and diving . Others are limited to the fairer sex. Volleyball, a sport the Lady Tigers take from the casual beach-front game and turn into a fierce fight for survival. Gymnas- tics, the grace and beauty of a body fully in control of itself, and able to seemingly defy gravity and the laws of physics.

The most ob- vious is the dramatis personae only because of the very nature of the beast. Others are as different from it as a leather walking skirt is from an incognito hat. The female of the species range from the mulebrity to the nymph. In like style, the male ranges from the yeoman to the blade. There are close to 27,000 students on campus. This smattering of them pictured represents a little over one-half of one percent of that populace. Anyone from the sea- soned traveler to the freshest greenhorn can find terrain suited to their preference and skills. Whether out for a quick jaunt be- tween classes or an extended tour on the road, LSU students are easy to spot by their handy photo ID which is ever on hand for pre- sentation should border patrol (or anyone else on campus) de- mand a form of identification.

These will be accom- panied by breathable cotton tops cut generously to allow the almost unbearable heal to be les- sened by any stray gust of wind. The winter season sees a wide array of sweaters in multi-hued blends and styles. The uniting factor for the majority of LSU students is the ever-present back pack. This component ranges in color from plum to hunter green and from buff to ebony. All the necessary implements are within easy reach.

Highway I from Race land, or maybe Cut Off; a candy-apple red Camera tears in from Clinton; a gold Porsche 930 travels west from New Orleans, as does a tan Toyota Tercell from Hammond. As diversified as their travel arrangements and homelands, the weary travelers begin the task of making their home away from home. Many, freshmen and others alike, decide (or have decided for them) that living where one stu- dies is the way to go. Dorms of all shapes and sizes, air conditioned and not, hall baths and suites, men ' s and women ' s but no co- eds ' . etc. are to he found scat- tered about the campus, from the gleaming tower of Kirby Smith to the gray bunkers of Stadium. Others, those who follow the ideals put forth several thousand years ago, not only go Greek, but choose (if so chosen) to live in the house of their Chapter. Alpha to Zeta and all those funny letters in between, the Greek system offers a lifestyle to its residents not to be enjoyed by any other students. Ah. the proverbial apartment. The first is always something spe- cial, and the LSI! landscape is dotted with them, including for those richer folks, the condomi- nium. A survey of apartment life could fill volumes, and perhaps will be taught to students of the 22nd century: Apartment Life Appreciation 1001. After settlin g in. students often choose an extra-curricular activ- ity to take up the slack in their self-controlled lives. The number one activity at LSU is partying. No doubt about it. Freds. Sports, Murphy ' s, the Bengal, the Bayou. Xanthus and more all give those weary of books and notes a place to mingle with others and drown their sorrows in a glass of beer or booze. Don ' t get the wrong idea, though. There are more noble and uplifting ways of passing one ' s time. The Tiger Band, sports, art, cheerleading, jour- nalism, theatre; the list goes on and on. Perhaps one could turn to page 16 — just a mere flip of the wrist — to learn more of these other activities.

' ' Go Greek ' ' or stay independent is purely a personal one. On the pro side, the Greek sys- tem forms new bonds, often stronger than any friendships ever before. The system provides a sense of belonging, of home and of discipline. Despite the apparent wildness of Greek life. there are often rules applied that many independents would rather not be subjected to. The Greeks are also well known for their philanthropic en- deavors, earning much needed money for muscular dystrophy research, the School for the Visually Impaired, and others. Sometimes though, the Greek system appears to be two faced. One socially conscious event sponsored by Greeks is Alcohol Awareness Week. A worthy cause, but is this a case of do as we sav and not as we do? For evidence that Greeks don ' t take their own advice, one needs but to turn to page 316, where the Greek section starts. The ' ' party- pics ' ' featured are selected by the organizations themselves, so. ..see for your self. On the con side, there are many documented tales of rather anti -social behavior performed by Greeks. Whether these people are predisposed to violence — such as striking Chimes- Streeters ' ' with a car. or shoot- ing fellow Greeks with a pellet gun — or whether the violence is brought out by the same superior attitude non-Greeks claim, is im- possible to tell. Whatever the case, the future is sure to hold more Greek Non- Greek tension, but at the same time. Greeks will goon with their benefitial activities and parties alike.

Preschool Serves as Lab for Students, Teachers any students passing be- tween the Home Economics and Food Sciences buildings may have seen and heard young chil- dren at play. No, they weren ' t hallucinating. What they observed was the School of Home Economics Preschool Laboratory. The lab, headed by Dr. Diane Burts, actually serves many colleges on the campus. The lab plays an important part in several Home Economics courses, including 2055, 4056, 4057, 4059 and 7054, among others. These courses cover topics such as adult-child rela- tions, reading concept develop- ment in children, and theories of child development. Other colleges using the Pre- school Lab are Education, Speech, Journalism and Psychology. The students enrolled in the home economic courses, and those utilizing the facility for other purposes, have the oppor- tunity to both observe and in- teract with the three and four- year-old children. Not only students use the lab. The preschool serves as a field testing laboratory for extensive research programs. Because re- search is more accurate with a large number of subjects-- something the preschool can ' t offer— researchers use the pre- school for pilot studies. This means they test their procedures and equipment and train their personel in a mock situation. Us- ing the preschool in such a man- ner assures the researchers that the actual study will be con- ducted with any possible bugs already worked out. In addition to providing a laboratory for LSU, the pre- school is a safe and educational atmosphere in which parents may leave their children. Those who wish to enroll their child may apply when the child reaches two years old. At pre- sent, the lab can accept only 20 children, so certain criteria are looked at in selecting the chil- dren. Instead of randomly pick- ing the semester ' s ' class, ' the preschool staff looks at such things as the parents ' occupa- tions, their ages, other family members living in the household, special needs of the children, the number of siblings , as wel l as the family ' s ethnic, racial and reli- gious background. This selection process assures th preschool will have as diverse a set of children as possible. There is a set of tri- plets in the preschool, and other children from teenage pregnan- cies and from single-parent fami- lies. There is a fee to have one ' s child in the program, but, like LSU ' s tuition, it ' s rising and may change by the time this article sees print. The teachers for the preschool are Joan Benedict and Terri Hughes, although students often are involved in teaching as well. The children arrive at the cen- ter each day at 8:30. During the day they have access to a compu- ter terminal, a painting table, a reading table and various games. They enjoy music time, story time, and of course they get to go outside to play. Their day is punctuated by a juice break and lunch. Also, the children take part in an educaional program.

After weeks of false leads and phone calls never returned, Laura cornered the wary feline in his lair, an upstairs apartment somewhere in the heart of Tiger country. What follows is Laura ' s grilling of the human in Tiger ' s clothing. Bob Grenchik. GUMBO: Does the fact that you portray Mike the Tiger affect your dating opportunities any? BOB: It does and does not. I ' ve never been a real active dater. I never have the money to spend, unfortunately. I ' ve never gotten into the regular scene of bar crowds too much, either. I enjoy going out but I don ' t do it on a regular basis. I ' d rather spend my time with just certain friends. staying home, or doing my own fun. A lot of my fun comes from working at Merry Minstrel. I have a good time doing that. For most people who have been Mike the Tiger, I know it has affected them. Don Smith, the guy who did it last year, complained about it and so do I to some degree. Inside the suit, I get a lot of in- vitations but people never see me outside the suit. I ' m usually the last one out of the building or the stadium or whatever. There ' s no real opportunity to do much dat- ing. A lot of the people I ' d really be interested in dating are not the same people that I enjoy messing around with at the Stadium, Assembly Center, or where ever. GUMBO: What is your present curriculum? BOB: I plan to graduate next Au- gust. I am in General Studies right now, with an eventual de- gree in Education, which came from Mike the Tiger too. I ' ve always known I enjoyed being around kids. The more I was around them, the more I came r- ' V ' . ' r ' r 20 JVtike the Ziger into situations where I was enter- taining them. There ' s a lot of times when you get some real dif- ficult kids. But even when I can ' t talk most of them know what I ' m saying. I can communicate to them and it tells me something about myself. I also have a lot of patience with kids, not all people do. This has led me to start think- ing more about being around them (kids) more. The curricu- lum I first sought after I thought was for me, but then the further I thought about Education the more I liked it. GUMBO: Did you parachute from the plane dressed as Mike at the Cal State Fullerton game? BOB: For special events, like the Kentucky basketball game (Mike rappels from the ceiling of the Centroplex) and so forth, they ' ve ususally gotten someone else to get inside the suit. I would have been happy to do that but you have to be certified. They just can ' t have anybody up there. I wasn ' t happy about it really. I didn ' t want them to do that. I thought it was a great idea to a degree . It speaks of the way the Athletic Department does; they like to be big shows. I was con- cerned because I really thought this guy was going to :uin my character. Just from when he hits the field to where he ran to the back room where I was. Nobody said anything about it though. GUMBO; Were there times when Mike inteferred with your school schedule? BOB: There were times when the Athletic Department was asking us to cut class on a few occasions, like to go to the Rotary Club or something. I don ' t understand, do they want us to be in school or do they not want us to be in school? GUMBO: Is the suit very uncom- fortable? BOB: It ' s real hot. And it gets real pungent besides just getting hot. The heat doesn ' t seem to bother me as much as you might think. Two weeks ago, though, I lost so much water and fluids that my body just started cramping ? A up. The ventilation in the new suit is worse, too. You can ' t breath very well. GUMBO; How would you de- scribe Mike personally? BOB: Mike does anything, he ' s not afraid to so anything people ask him to do. Mike is a symbol of the university. He ' s the mis- chievious Mike, a lady ' s tiger kind of guy. That ' s just Mike. He kisses every woman ' s hand, or cheek or whatever. He ' s a politi- cian at heart, Mike ' s a character. He ' s Uncle Mike to every- body, and everybody ' s best friend. GUMBO: Do you practice with the cheerleaders or alone? BOB: Recently I ' ve been to a couple of their practices, and I did a couple of pyramids with them. I think I ' m one of the first mascots to really get involved with their stuff. That goes from my wanting to and their wanting me to. They ' ve asked me to come join their pyramids and stuff like that. We did those at the last game, we practiced last week. I got in a couple of pyramids and they threw me up once. The crowd seemed to really enjoy that and I was happy to do it. I get nervous because I ' m scared of heights. I don ' t usually practice with them. I practice on my own; I practice in my head. A lot of my stuff is in my head. GUMBO: How do you feel about the Spuds McKinzie mascot? BOB: I like Spuds a lot. He does a good Spuds and stuff. I look forward to working with some- one else instead of being just by myself, but I don ' t look forward to working with someone be- cause I have to almost think for somebody else, too. Since he doesn ' t have as much experience (you don ' t always have to have the experience) he can ' t think of the stagework involved. GUMBO: Will you be portraying Mike next year? BOB: I ' ve enjoyed doing this, but I can ' t do this for more than a year. (Mike, the Ziger 21 Tiger Band creates festive mood t ' s called The Golden Band from Tigerland. It performs for the masses gathered in Tiger Stadium every home game and is made up of not only music ma- jors, but persons from all fields of interests. It ' s 280 persons who work together as a whole to enter- tain thousands of people, affect- ing both eyes and ears. The Tiger Band not only in- cludes those playing various in- struments, such as clarinets, souzaphones and drums, but is comprised of the Golden Girls and the Flag Corp, too. Dr. Frank B. Wickes, director of the band, said that each mem- ber of the band is provided with a Chancellor ' s Student Award of $640 for the fall semester. There are only 280 such awards avail- able, and to be eligible for the award the student must be full- time and enrolled in the one hour course. Music 4250. Marching Band.

The Go lden Band practices as a group Tuesday through Friday for one and a half hours, rain or shine. They do not, however, play during lightening storms. In fact, Linda Moorhouse. who is responsible for the band ' s drill manuevers and supervises the Golden Girls and Flag Corp. said that the lightening before this year ' s game against Cal Slate-Fullerton caused the band ' s traditional pre-game show to be cancelled tor the first time in his- tory. And of course the band also performs at halftime. Dr. Wickes said that the band does a routine for the west side of the stadium at one week ' s home game, and at the next they ' ll perform the same routine to the east side of the sta- dium. Then they ' ll change the routine. Conducting the band on the field is Drum Major Scott Hanna, with the help of two graduate stu- dents. In addition to performing at the home games, the band will travel to Jackson and New Orleans for theOle Miss and Tulane games Sometimes, when the Tigers are invited to play in a bowl game, the Golden Band will accompany the team. Dr. Wickes said whether or not the band attends depends upon which bowl it is, how far away it is, and how much money the bowl provides to LSU. Wickes said that this year only about one-fourth of the band members are actually music ma- jors, which is the largest amount he ' s seen in recent years. Band members also have the option of performing in the symphonic orchestra, the wind ensemble, the jazz band, or the basketball pep band. The pep band is comprised of 42 members of the marching band, and represents the only band which is not also a course. Wickes said that the musicians are selected based on the instru- ment they play and the length of time they ' ve performed in the marching band.

She spent six months of her life making it, she said after being crowned. The dress Bums wore to win the evening gown competition was white with a high slit over the right leg, and was adorned with cracked ice and bugle beads. Bums, a broadcast journalism major, went to Redemptorist High School in Baton Rouge and was Miss Baton Rouge, U.S.A. 1986 and Miss Redemptorist High School in 1985. The Miss LSU Pageant was sponsored by Phi Mu sorority with proceeds from the pageant going to their philanthropy, Pro- ject HOPE. The preliminary award win- ners were Melissa Lawrence, who won the talent competition singing Something ' s Coming from the musical Westside Story and Bums, who won the evening gown, swimsuit and most ad sales competitions. Jane Ivey Grammer won Miss Congeniality, an award the con- testants vote on themselves. From the 20 girls who partici- pated in the pageant, 1 1 semi- finalists were chosen.

This year, it was Lambda Chi Alpha ' s house that turned to kindling. The Friday before clas- ses started, at about 6:30 a.m., a fire erupted in a downstairs tro- phy room. Fire Inspectors suspected arson because of the difference in bums received by tow couches in the same room. Fire Chief Tho- mas Woods said the couch that caused the flames was scorched, but a couch about ten feet away was relatively undamaged. Also, a sample from the couch showed traces of a flammable liquid in a lab test. Damage to the building is estimated at $500,000 to $750,000, said Lambda Chi alumni treasurer Greg Bodin.

They were trying out to be an LSU Golden Girl. The procedure for trying out is easy, though the tryouts themselves are anythi ng but. Linda Moorhouse, Assistant Director of Bands, said that each girl, who is given a, number, per- forms an individual routine which should last about a minute and a half, and is then scored. This takes about four hours to complete. She said the girls with the top 30 scores are then called back in. For about an hour they learn a one minute routine, which they have to perform alone, and in groups of four or five. Moorhouse said the judges in- clude the band staff, the current choreographer, and someone outside the band such as a repre- sentative from the athletic depart- ment, and base their decisions on the girls projection and poise, personal appearance, and danc- ing ability. The number of girls on the line averages 16-18, but this year there are only 15. One common misconception about the Golden Girls concerns the older mem- bers. Each year they are required to tryout again, and they aren ' t always reselected. Once a Golden Girl, there are several restrictions they must meet. They are given a weight requirement they must maintain. Shelly Uter and Sharon Schunior study a routine during practice with the band and which is checked every week. Being on the dance line means being in the band, so they are required to practice with the band in addition to several hours on their own. And like many stu- dent activities, they must main- tain their grades. Of course there are benefits of being a Golden Girl, too. Moor- house said that each girl, like each band member, is given a $640 band-participation award. Of course they attend each home football game, and this season will go away for the Ole Miss game. This year the Golden Girls will be allowed to da nce at five home men ' s basketball games, each of which will be nationally televised. Previously the Tigres- ses were the danceline for the basketball games. Two girls on the line are selected choreographer and assis- tant choreographer. In years past the band staff selected the two girls, but this year the dance line itself was in on the selection. Chosen were Tina Smith as choreographer, and Kelly Uter as her assistant. While Tina and Kelly were dissimilar in how they chose to tryout, they both said they enjoy the experience, even though it ' s alot of hard work. Tina said that when she gets home from prac- tice her roommate is ready to go out, but she still has to study.

Hatcher Cafeteria. Sealed up for now. the famed Hatcher institution simply sits dormant at the base of the busy dormitory like some derelict, art-deco, cultural relic. Incessantly tiled walls that once served to re- verberate the clamoring voices of hundreds of famished freshmen now only return the blank stares of the random Physical Plant laborer who escapes from his dai- ly grind fora moment of solitude. Was the student body ' s addic- tion to pre-packaged or fast food to blame for the demise of such a fine emporium. ' No! The blame for the cafeteria ' s closing definitely does not lie on the resident stu- dent ' s already-bowed shoulders, as the testimonials below attest. It was the ultimate in collegi- ate dining! said Pat Hotard, one wistful sophomore with a discri- minating palate. I could like, come in for lunch and stay forever! recalls Monica Tooma, who made din- ing at Hatcher an integral part of her lifestyle. I really liked Hatcher, con- fesses Steve Featherfingers Millet. I stole some of my best silverware and wall decorations from there. Sadly enough. Hatcher cafeteria ' s closing was due en- tirely to the grisly ravages of that ogre we call Fiscal Policy. According to Resident Food Ser- vices, having a dishpit (dis- hwashing area for all you who have never slung suds for a voca- tion) on an entirely different floor led to immense cost overruns. And, when the choice of either keeping Hatcher alive or renovat- ing the Laville and Highland showplaces. our subterranean friend was found wanting. But don ' t fret, dear student. because Highland Cafeteria now has new china, free of potentially dangerous nicks and gashes. And behold! Laville has been remod- elled with enough glass and panelling to make it resemble any large suburban house of worship! The world of Residence Food Services is definitely one that is careening headlong into the sometimes frightening future of the edible arts. Sometimes, a mealtime mecca like Hatcher Cafeteria must be sacrificed in order to have such technological- ly correct dining facilities.

' Cafeteria Reconstruction 51 n Student Media Gets New Home a uring the middle July, Student Media, with the assist- ance of several Physical Plant workers, moved from its home in the basement of Coates to the newly renovated basement of Hodges Hall. The facilities in Coates were no longer adequate for Media ' s needs, and the Director of Stu- dent Media, Jon Fisher, said that getting the whole operation together in one building would be more efficient, although the ,w afSiAlovfl S TO Tltr J ,1 .... tfltf jj HoV ' Tl K - newest member, WLSU-TV, is still in the development stages, and now lacks a permanent loca- tion. He said the move was relative- ly problem free. The Reveille ' s computer was reconnected and operating without a hitch. The only trouble was that which occurs with any move: the tur- moil of moving, and things get- ting lost. Others, though, don ' t neces- sarily agree. The advertisement manager for the Reveille, Leslie Parker, complained about their new location. We ' re still losing customers because they ' re still going to Coates, and no one knows where Hodges is, let alone the basement. For those who aren ' t familiar with Hodges, it is a men ' s dormi- tory on Field House Drive, across from Lockett and next to the Journalism Building. Actually, the basement can be considered a seperate building from the dorm. One can ' t get in from the ground floor; one must go down first, and then enter. No longer used as residences, the basement has undergone a $400,000 (so far) face lift, and had utilitie s installed that are cap- able of handling the type equip- ment Student Media uses. In addition, a chilled water exten- tion was brought in to provide air conditioning — something the dorm rooms still don ' t enjoy. Ev- erything has been paid for with Student Media ' s own budget. When the Gumbo and the Re- veille moved, so too KLSU was supposed to have. However, Fisher said problems getting an engineering contract delayed the running of cables and other tech- nicalities, and hence, KLSU is still in the East Stadium. The new studios and equipment should be ready sometime in November, 1987. When everything is finished (parts of the basement are still under reconstruction), a person will be able to pick up last year ' s Gumbo that they forgot to get at the time, put a confidential in the paper, drop off a demo tape for KLSU to play, and or annoy one or more journalism teachers, all at the same place. Taking Student Media ' s place in Coate ' s basement are Athletic Counciling, Career Placement and Planning, and Academic Affairs.

Man Dnbbi LSU Theatre in winners ' circle with Three Men on a Horse nd we ' re off! The LSU Theatre was out of the starting gate at a full gallop in October with the opening of the high- spirited comedy Three Men on a Horse. The farce, by John Cecil Holm and George Abbott, was written during the 1930s and concerns the life of Erwin Trowbridge, an innocent, hard working man who has an uncanny knack for picking winners in horse races. The fun begins as Trowbridge is kidnap- ped by gamblers who use his abil- ity to get rich. George Abbott, who is now 100 years old, is the winner of five Tony Awards. The play was directed by LSU Professor of Theatre, Bill J. Har- bin, and featured a cast including Megan Austin as Audrey Trow- bridge; Joe Chrest, Erwin Trow- bridge; John Mese, Patsy; as well as many other talented actors and actresses. In addition, well-known local actor Ray Spruell, who appears often with the Baton Rouge Little Theater, portrayed Mr. Carver. Special to this year ' s produc- tion of Three Men was music composed and arranged for the comedy by LSU Boyd Professor of Music Dinos Constantinides. The musicians were Ji Swetnam on flute, Louis Wendt on piano and Parrish Sonnier on drums. The premier presentation of the LSU Theatre was unique this year. The Theatre celebrated its 59th year, but more importantly, a Benefit Gala following the per- formance honored Dr. Claude L. Shaver for 45 years of dedication to the dramatic arts. Professor Shaver was involved with the LSU Theatre for much of his life, and directed 88 plays. He John Mese and Graham Frye practice their parts for ' Three Men on a Horse . ' ' also instituted the Louisiana Col- lege Theatre Festival which has brought many professionals the department. He is remembered for being a true friend to count- less students and co-workers. The Gala, An Evening in the Winner ' s Circle, featured live jazz, wine and hors d ' oeuvres, with audience members mingling on the grounds of the Music and Dramatic Arts building. Guests contributed $ 1 5 per person above the regular ticket price to the Claude L. Shaver Endowed Scholarship Fund. The fund was created to aid outstanding drama- tic arts students in continuing their education. George Watkins, a profession- al Louisiana wildlife and land- scape artist, donated to the Be- nefit an original watercolor to be given to the winner of a drawing. The painting, which depicts the 19th century Joseph Jefferson House on Jefferson Island, was won by Carolyn Hargrave. Wat- kins was present at the Benefit to unveil his painting, which he thought to be particularly appropriate because Joseph Jef- ferson was an actor who is most known for his creation of the role Rip Van Winkle.

La- ter that evening, at 9 p.m.. the entire haul was carted to the sta- dium for a final inventory. Amid a melange of harps. Madonna concert programs, and micro- waveable pizzas, Zeta Tau Alpha sorority proved to be the most creatively aquisitive by garnering 1st place in the hunt, followed by Acacia fraternity and Delta Gam- ma sorority. One of the more traditional, although equally rigorous, home- coming activities is the annual homecoming decoration display. The flamboyancy and excess of ?

With this year ' s theme being The 20th Century Through the Eyes of Mike the Tiger , individual interpreta- tions ranged from Kappa Delta sorority ' s amusing look at the streaking fad of the 7() ' s to Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity ' s thoughtful comment on a note- worthy political event ( The Ginsburg Address : A Friend with Weed is a Friend Indeed ). After the 9 a.m. judging. Lamb- da Chi Alpha fraternity won 1st place in the fraternal category with their impressive rendition of the first moon landing. Delta Gamma sorority used their entire yard and house for the setting of a drive-in movie fascimile to gam first place in sorority decora- tions. All of the decorations were constructed almost entirely of wood, chicken wire, and several thousand bits of colored tissue paper and all were ceremoniously destroyed following the game (another tradition). Complementing the entire affair was the crowining of the 1987 Homecoming queen. After weeks of intense preparation and publicity, the entire field of homecoming hopefuls was honed down to five finalists from which elementary education senior Andrea Verzwyvelt was chosen to be queen. Andrea was pre- sented to the general consensus of Tiger fans during halftime of the LSU-Mississippi State home- coming game. The other mem- bers of the homecoming court were; Arnell Holly, Susan Miciotto. Barrie Wing, and Ashley Zollinger. J. Steve Zaffuto Phi Kappa Theta fraternity relied on a more traditional theme on which to base their Homecoming display. Pi Beta Phi looked to the recent past for inspiration for their stunning decorations . ' S 57 ED hroughout 1987, the Un- ion Gallery continued to bring art shows and exhibits so varied in their styles and contents as to appeal to the aesthetic tastes of anyone who appreciates art. During February, the gallery offered The Turning Point: The Harlem Renaissance. This showing celebrated the Afro- American artistic activity pesent during the decade following World War I. The New Negro Movement, as it was also called, created a stronger sense of the uniqueness of Black Culture in America. The attitudes taken by the artists of this school promoted ideals almost taken for granted today, but in the 1920 ' s black pride, protest against bigotry and discrimination, and interest in African culture were virtually un- heard of. The LSU School of Art Gradu- ate Student Juried Art Show ran in the Union Gallery from Febru- ary 27 through March 15. This was the first time the show was juried, and exhibited some of the students ' best in their on-going research in the visual arts. The annual LSU Student Art Show ran for about three weeks starting March 27. The show is designed to give undergraduates in any major a chance to have their work shown and judged by professionals in the art world. The winners took home $475 in total prizes, plus were given the opportunity to sell their works. LSU Fine Arts faculty member Michael Crespo was honored with his own exhibit, in which his recent paintings were shown from April 24 to May 15. The works included water colors and oils, and even some combining paint with applied gold leaf. The summer months saw an exhibit appropriately titled, Cotton Daze: Summer Haze. This show was in conjunction with the Gulf South Fiber Con- ference, sponsored by the Bayou Yarn Benders and Baton Rouge Fiber Guild. Material Evidence: New Techniques in Handmade Furni- ture was the exhibit from July 20 through the first week of September, and was presented by the Smithsonian Institute Travel- ing Exhibition Service. The beautiful though sometimes odd works shown were the results of 19 of America ' s premier wood- workers using a new material cal- led Colorcore. The exhibit ex- plored such topics such as aesthe- tics versus utility. In addition, us- ing essentially a new form of For- mica on ' living room ' furniture represented a departure from tradition. No year would be complete without the LSU School of Art Faculty Art Show, and 1987 was no exception. Running from September 1 1 through October 4, the show presented to the public works created by, of course, LSU faculty in the School of Art.

James Burke started off the series in October with his lecture Mechanisms of Change: Do Lemons Whistle? Burke ' s speech dealt with relationships between technology and humans. Burke has quite a background that qualifies him to speak on such a subject. He was a writer for the BBC, his Connections and The Day the Universe Changed garnered some of the highest ratings for documentaries on PBS, and he was a reporter of the U.S. and Soviet space prog- rams. In November the forum changed to the subject of econo- mics, with a lecture titled Eco- nomics According to Galbraith . ' ' The speech was given by Harvard Professor Emeritus John Kenneth Galbraith. In addition to having served as the president of the American Economic Associa- tion, Galbraith was editor of For- tune magazine and was the U.S. Ambassador to India during John F.

Endgame is known as theatre of the absurd, and that it is. Many people have trouble viewing the play because it is hard to under- stand just what is going on. and because much of it is somewhat grotesque. It opens with a lame manser- vant, Clov. taking a sheet off of his crippled master. Hamm, who is also blind, and has blood covering his forehead. A little late the audience is in- troduced to Hamm ' s mother and lather, Nell and Nagg. These two legless geriatrics are forced to live in ashcans. It is a bleak and dreary exist- ance for all, and the message of the play seems to point in that direction. Theatre I5() ' s version of En- dgame was directed by Joe Gil- day, and starred Scott Allen as Hamm. Doug Bourgeois as Clov. Terry Neisler as Nagg and Camil- le Carrell as Nell. The groups worked well to bring off what had to have been a difficult performance. The actors and actress did much to convey the feeling of a tragic com- edy.

Everything from a touching dra- ma about the love a young girl has for her Volvo to a tense, hor- rifying tale recounting the terror of student aid could be written, produced, and shot right here at this very institution. Despite these potentially blockbusting ideas, the producers of the up- coming film Everybody ' s All- American have used LSU ' s vast athletic tradition for inspira- tion for theircinematic epic about a ficticious Louisiana football star. The motion picture stars Jessi- ca Lange and Dennis Quaid and will contain scenes shot on and around campus. At most of the home games fans were admo- nished to cheer extensively for the scrimmages that were staged at halftime for the edification of movie cameras. Even more scenes were filmed at nearby Memorial stadium with the help of several hundred eager extras (i.e. the unemployed ) more than willing to spend the hours between 1 1p.m. and 2a.m. mak- ing minimum wage while simul- taneously filling out the crowd required to make a sports movie. All potential extras were screened several weeks before the film crews arrived and were required to fill out the first few rows in the student section at the home games. Archaic cheers re- quiring more than a simple wave were temporarily re- vived as the whole atmosphere of a football contest from the 1950 ' s was recreated. Before the Alaba- ma game all spectators were asked to ' ' dress 50 Y ' in order to achieve the same effect. The movie script follows the ficticious character of one Gray Ghost (Dennis Quaid) who has a stellar college career but finds success lacking in the world of professional football. Filmed by Gray Ghost Productions, the film will hopefully bring additional publicity to our addled university and make the untold sums of money sports films occasionally do. Regardless of its box office longevity, one can rest assured that it will enjoy phenomenal success at local rental outlets as hundreds of locals attempt to cap- ture fame by way of the pause button. J. Steve Zaffuto •7 Varsity (Squad has 5usy Schedule Hiko Miyagi proves he has sirength as trusting Heidi Reese is held several feet above the ground 1 U - M he life of a varsity cheer- leader doesn ' t begin and end the day of a football or basketball game. On the contrary, the cheer- leaders could be the busiest ' team ' in the athletic program. Of course they have practice. Squad captain Sharon Staub said they have regular practice two hours a day on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. They have one hour a week on gymnastics, and about two hours a week for weight lifting. The real time consuming acti- vities are the promotions. Start- ing Friday night at the Wallban- ger for a pep rally, Sharon said they ' re busy until Sunday. On a typical Saturday they go from one promotion to another all the way up until game time. She says they have no rest on Sundays either. Often they have duties such as visiting nursing homes. There is a bright side to such a demanding schedule. Captain Greg Sample said he enjoys the exposure to th e students that cheerleaders get, as well as the travelling, the friendship with the others on the squad, and the com- petitiveness of the sport of cheer- leading. Of course, they are on the field, giving them an excel- lent view of the game, and Greg said that they also get to go to all the away football games, and some of the more important road basketball games, such as the NCAA Tournament. Greg and Sharon are co- captains on the squad. After the team is picked, the members vote on one guy and one girl captain to represent the six guys and six girls on the squad. In addition to the 12 regular members, there is an alternate couple who cheer in case of in- juries, and who are co-captains of the junior varsity squad the rest of the time. This rigorous training and de- dication seemed to have paid off. Ashley Kleinpeter, the cheer- leaders ' director this year, said that during the summer the team attended a cheerleader ' s camp where LSU took all blue or super- ior ribbons and a superior trophy. In addition, the squad has sub- mitted a video tape of a perform- ance to be judged in a national competition. Just submitting the tape is excellent, because Ashley said that only 10 squads in the country are allowed to enter. In October of 1987, LSU varsity and junior varsity squads are holding a one day workshop for all junior high and high schools within one hundred miles of Baton Rouge. The two squads ' members will be teaching this workshop. These young men and women who give so much of their time for LSU do it for the students. Both Sharon and Greg indicated school spirit and student parti- cipation as big factors, and Greg in particular is anxious to see more students involved in cheer- leading. He especially wants to see more guys try out for the squad. David Grenkevich c W rj Captains Sharon Staub and Greg Sample help each other stretch during practice.

A story that is so well known that its main character, Scrooge, is syno- nomous with greed; a story that is so well loved that a phrase it coined — Merry Christmas! — is now used by millions of people every year? That is exactly the situation the LSU Theatre finds itself in every Christmas season, and the 1987 season was no different. Essentially, LSU Theatre ' s A Christmas Carol was a play within a play. It started with a ' traveling company dealing with company trivia, such as the props and players, and then laun- ches into juggling, caroling, the playing of hand bells, and miming. After the stage manager and prop boy were substituted Guest artist Michael McNeilly cameoed as the clown Hot Cross Buns Michael McNea] (Scrooge) stands per- plexed by clowns Wendy Youngs, John Mese, Michael McNeilly, Graham Frye. for two actors quit or fired, the actual performance began. Mime was used extensively, though the performance only asked the audience to suspend its disbelief a bit more than usual — to believe there are walls where there aren ' t, to see an invisible chain, to accept two actors as a window. Overall the play was a success. No matter that the book has been read and read and read, and no matter that the play is performed every Christmas, and even no matter that television sitcoms consistantly butchers it, A Christmas Carol should always remain enjoyable fare for the Yuletide season.

Another voice of dissent com- es from an unnamed Miller resi- dent who gets pretty ticked whenever certain young women forget to flush the toilet or puke in the sink. Although most roommates tend to be rather familiar with one another before commencing to share an abode, there are still those who arrive at their desig- nated living space with no real idea of the personality, social or hygienic habits of their future roomey. Apparently things can get strange, as a women ' s dorm has a rather high potential for in- terpersonal conflict. According to one unnamed source who is now suffering form the agonies of having a room- mate, even one ' s former bestest buddy can occasionally meta- morphose into somebody (thing) just this side of a gila monster. It seems that little trivial matters like having a roommate who rises at 6:30 for an 8:30 class and mak- ing noises rivalling even a Gener- al Motors plant has led this poor coed to admit it just isn ' t fun anymore. In facts it kinda sucks. Despite possible personality clashes, a gentle ambiance usual- ly settles in once the appropriate sexist wall trappings are applied, the momentous barricade of beer containers is erected and the en- tire cubicle acquires that general feeling of. ..ah...funkiness.

With standing room only, the crowd responded to remarks made by the modera- tor, Jim Nasium of WFMF. An added blessing was the appear- ance of Louisiana ' s Muscular Dystrophy poster child. Mike the Tiger, the cheerlead- ers, the Golden Girls, and part of the LSU band were also there to boost the spirit of the fans. More importantly, the team came for a while sitting in a line on the bench facing the fans, a rare occurance for most of them. Mike Archer accompanied his team. He and a few of the players spoke to assure the fans that they were ready for the next day ' s game. Oddly enough, an integral part of the rally was a truck horn that was sounded intermittently throughout by a fan at the top of the stands. When cheers were finished, the horn would sound; after the band played, the horn would sound. At one point, when Mike Archer said something en- couraging and the crowd cheered, he inquired as to why A new stunt the cheerleaders perform in- cludes Mike, the Tiger, atop a two story pyramid-a real crowd please? Outside of gate 5 at Tiger Stadium is WFMF ' s Jam Box from which Jim Nasium broadcasted after the pep rally. 52 Pep ' Rally the horn wasn ' t sounded. To his delight and that of the crowd, the horn blared a response. Joe Dean, our newly acquired athletic director, also spoke a few words, but the highlight of the evening was mainly when the fans got to cheer on their Tigers themselves, making the kind of noise that both Tommy Hodson and Mike Archer said they appreciated at the football games.

Pep Uall q 53 Local Health Clubs Contribute to Healthier Student Body pring Break is coming up and your body is a mess. What to do? Join a health club, or, if money is a big problem, work out on campus. Although the campus route is much cheaper, it also seems to be almost archaic in methods to get yourself in shape. Until the new Leisure Sports Complex is built (if ever), then the student who uses the campus facilities will have to settle for old equipment, and they will often be forced to wait while others work out. The other alternative is a child of the 80s. Health clubs are to be found all over Baton Rouge, with several in the near vicinity of Baton Rouge. For those serious body buil- ders, check out Goudeau ' s. The men ' s gym is in the South Downs Shopping Center, near Uncle Earl ' s. It has the free weights. Nautilus and Body Master machines, and the latest in aero- bic machines — bikes, treadmills and stairmasters. It also has sun beds and a whirlpool. This is not the gym for the weak at heart. Guys, there ' s no women at Goudeau ' s to distract you, so you can work harder. Whether bulking up or toning down, this place will whip you into shape. Goudeau ' s hasn ' t forgotten the ladies, though. On College Drive is the gym for the fairer sex. In addition to much the same equip- ment as the men ' s gym, includ- ing the computerized bikes and rowers, the ladies ' g ym offers aerobic classes about seven times a day during the week. For those who ' ve put on a few inches and or pounds, Goudeau ' s offers diet counseling. Finally, the closest gym to the LSU campus is Body Masters in Motion. Located in the Universi- ty Shopping Center next to the A P, this gym is perhaps a bit smaller than either of the Goudeau ' s, but has a full selec- 54 JCealth in Our tra tion of workouts available. Free weights and Body Master machines for those who pump iron, bikes for those who want nice legs, sun beds for the folks who desire a savage tan be- fore hitting the beach, and whirl- pools and saunas to relax in. So what ' s the diffence? Why go to Body Masters? It ' s coed! While the club stresses the work- out at least as much as other clubs in the area, there is nice scenery as well. The guys can admire the gals ' flat stomachs, and at the same time, the women have am- ple opportunities to see a few hard pecs and delts. The 80s is the decade of fit- ness. Not everyone can have the body of Adonis or Venus, but they can try. David Grenkevich No pain no gain is the motto at Body Masters gym. Many students still enjoy slicing their way to a healthy lifestyle. • Wealth in Our tra 55 ■m Eddie Daniel Blacks her Mike David Hawkins Louie Jean Paul de la Houssaye Felix Daniel Dupont Gerald Paul G.

Shoes Reflects Talent in First Non-Pro Performance s he first non-professional performance of Do Black Pa- tent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up? opened at LSU on Thurs- day March 17, 1988. It was staged in the LSU Mini-Barn next to Parker Memorial Col- iseum. This serio-comic musical revolved around the growing re- lationship between two Catholic children growing up in Catholic school. The show takes a humorous look at the rules and theories in- stilled upon these Catholic Chil- dren as they grow up during the fifties. The main character, Eddie Ryan, looks back on some of the more humorous and tragic ex- periences of his boyhood. He calls to memory his classmates and the nuns and priest who guided them through their school days. In the course of the show the children explore their beliefs, fears, sexuality and social abili- ties. The theme of the show is sum- med up in the closing song Thank God in which Eddie and his friends thank God that they can leave their childhoods behind and go on with their lives, but that they learned from their mistakes. Colleen Kelly directed and choreographed the show while Reuben Reynolds worked as music director. Missy Hopson worked as the stage manager for the show which ran from March 17-25. The boys review the facts they have just learned about their Private Parts. Nancy, Delores, Virginia, Mary, Becky, Louie, Eddie, Mike, Felix and Gerald contemplate How Far is Too Far after hearing sermons on sex and the actions associated therewith. !Do ' Black Patent father Shoes Keally WefUct Up? 57 NEWS Business and Money Before 1987 was two weeks old, the New York stock ex- change topped the 2000 mark, a milestone of one of the longest and strongest bull markets in the exchange ' s history. Some analysts wondered about such ex- cellent market numbers when the economy was still mediocre at best. By July, it had jumped another 500 points. One investor was quoted as saying it was like picking money off of trees. In October, reality set in as a cor- rection occurred. Starting on the fifth of the month, the market began a dive, dropping from 2640 points to 247 1 exactly one week later. It rallied on the 13th, rising 37 points, but plummeted 261 points in the next three days. What seemed bad enough was destined to get worse. On Black Monday, October 19, the Dow Jones industrial average dropped 508 points. Also on that day, a record 604 million shares were traded. VanGogh ' s Sunflowers and Irises sold for $39.9 million and $53.9 million respectively. CBS Records was sold to Sony for $2 billion. Chrysler, spent almost as much, perhaps as much as $1.1 billion for AMC-Jeep. Later, the manufacturer was caught with its pants down when it was discovered that the com- pany had a policy of test driving some cars with the odometers disconnected. Science Scientists released man-made microorganisms into the environ- ment, spraying the frost- preventing bugs on strawberry plants. John Hopkins Hospital was the host to the first domino organ transplant performed in the Un- ited States. From a deceased donor, doctors gave cystic fibro- sis sufferer Clinton House, 28, two new lungs and a new heart. The surgeons felt it would actual- ly be easier to transplant both lungs and heart rather than just the lungs. Meanwhile, another set of doctors took House ' s heart, which was in working condition, and transplanted it into the body of John Couch, 38, who suffered from chronic heart disease. The science world warmed up to superconductors in 1987. A team working at the University of Houston developed materials that become superconductive — pass electricity with virtually no loss — at as high as 98 Kelvin (close to -300 degrees F). Applications for this new technology could in- clude cables that transmit power without loss long distances, trains that levitate above the rails and imaging machines that take sharp pictures of soft body tis- sues. Halley ' s comet is long gone, but the Southern Hemisphere was treated to a new light show — appearing for a limited time was the first supernova visible to the naked eye since 1885 and the brightest since 1604. m % SWA g, Af I It has been six years since AIDS entered into Americans ' vocabulary. In that time, over 25,000 persons in this country have died from the disease, it has spread out of the homosexual and intraveneous drug users realm and has been deemed Public Health Enemy No. 1 by Presi- dent Reagan. 58 A ' ; J, NEWS Religion Religion, which has been big business for years, became big news in 1987. Oral Roberts grab- bed the first headlines when he claimed that God would call him home if he did not raise $8 mil- lion by March 31. Early in that month the evangelist said the de- vil appeared to him in his home and tried to strangle him. Roberts received a stay of execution from the supreme reaper, as Florida millionaire Jerry Collins donated the final $1.3 million needed. In May, Roberts mailed one million packets of healing water that could ease financial or health problems. Later, the evangelist claimed that he had actually raised someone from the dead. Pope John Paul II made his first U.S. tour in September, starting in Miami where he was greeted by the Reagans. From there he went to Columbia, S.C., New Orleans, San Antonio, Texas, Phoenix, Az, Los Angeles, Monterey and San Fransisco, California, and then to Detroit before leaving for Cana- da. His visit prompted much ex- citement in the religious com- munity — and the business com- munity, too. Merchandising in- cluded Pope McKenzie t-shirts. Pope lawn-sprinklers and Pope- sickles (a frozen Pope on a stick). Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker said farewell to the PTL (Praise The Lord, People That Love, Pass The Loot, Pay The Lady) television network and Heritage Park, USA (perhaps the first reli- gious theme park in the country) after Jim confessed to a sexual encounter with church secretary Jessica Hawn. Tammy Faye, who became the brunt of hun- dreds of makeup and mascara jokes, began treatment for drug dependency. Much like the Mar- cos oust in the Phillipines, the new leaders of the PTL held an auction to raise money. One of the hottest items the Bakkers had owned was an air-conditioned dog house. Acting on the first amend- ment, U.S. District Judge W. Brevard banned 45 textbooks from Alabama public schools be- cause they promote the religion of secular humanism. Pat Robertson, the TV evangelist attempting to get the Republican nomination, had some skeletons in his closet, too. First, the press disclosed that his first son was born 10 weeks after he and his wife married. Then, though his campaign claimed he had done graduate work at the University of London, it turned out he had actually only taken one summer course there. Crime Narcotic agents arrested over Marine Sergeant Clayton 30 present or former workers at the John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, charging them with the smuggling of up to $1.5 bil- lion worth of cocaine. Lonetree, a former guard at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, was arrested, charged and convicted of espionage. He faces at least 30 years in prison. Philadelphia police raided the home of Gary Heidnik and found three women, naked and near death, imprisoned in the cellar, along with parts of another woman ' s body in the freezer. Bernard Goetz, the subway vigilante who allegedly shot four black youths who he claimed had threatened him, was aquitted on all but one minor charge.

Iranscam carried over a bad taste for the Reagan administra- tion from 1986, and throughout the year the dominoes would con- tinue to fall in one after another development. The first came when former National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane attempted suicide only hours be- fore he was to be questioned by a presidential committee investi- gating the scandal. In July, Lt. Colonel Oliver North took the stand in the Iran- contra hearing. Believed to be the missing link in the affair. North testified that he assumed Reagan knew what was going on, but he couldn ' t verify it. Politics U.S. Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell resigned at the end of the current term, giving Reagan the chance to make the court conservative into the 21st century. The president ' s first nominee was ultra-conservative Robert Bork. The senate, which must approve the appointment, was hostile from the start. Mas- sachusetts Senator Edward Ken- nedy probably spoke for many of the senate ' s democratic majority when he said, Robert Bork ' s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters... Even after the fight seemed hopeless for the Admi- nistration, Bork resisted the no- tion to withdraw his nomination, forcing the vote to the Senate floor. He lost. Reagan ' s second choice for the vacant Supreme Court seat was conservative Douglas Ginsburg. His short career — he was only 41 -years-old at the time — was the main strike against him. The Senate began probing into the Appeals Court Judge ' s past, but before the inquiry could get into full swing, Ginsburg was asked by the Administration and his right-wing supporters to with- draw his name because he admit- ted that he ' d smoked marijuana in the past. Anthony M. Kennedy was the next choice for confirmation, and probably the first with a real strong chance of making it. Presidential candidate Joseph Biden withdrew from the race af- ter being accused of stealing parts of his speeches from other politi- cians, including Robert Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey. After the digging began, the press disco- vered that Biden had failed a course in law school for plagariz- ing from a published article. Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder, who had unofficially been campainging for president, announced teary-eyed that she would not run. 00 Jde Soviet Communist party Secretary General Mikhail Gor- bachev visited the United States for the first time in December. In addition to signing a treaty elimi- nating all intermediate range nuc- lear weapons, Gorbachev racked up a higher approval rating than Reagan. The latest news of the year was that Gary Hart re-entered the presidential race. After much turmoil, including pushing by Nancy Reagan, Donald Regan resigned as the White House chief of staff. Ho- ward Baker replaced him. ■ • IN JC vv Tragedies Conrail had the dubious honor of having the first transportation disaster of the year. One of the company ' s trains consisting only of three engines failed to respond to a slow-down and a stop signal. It proceeded to switch onto a track already occupied by an Amtrak passenger train doing in excess of 100 m. p. h. The Amtrak collided with the rear of the Con- rail, killing 15 and injuring 176 — the worst accident in Amtrak ' s history. Four New Jersey teenagers kil- led themselves by parking their running car in a garage. Theirs were part of a suicide epidemic in the town of Bergenfield — pre- viously one boy fell from a cliff, two others were struck by trains and still another drowned. Nineteen-year-old Leonard Falcon ' s love for the game Lazer Tag cost him his life. While play- ing at a local school one night, he was shot and killed by a deputy investigating a report of prow- lers. The officer apparently thought the youth was firing a real gun at him, and responded as he ' d been trained. Nineteen Mexicans, in the attempt to illegally enter the Un- ited States, were inadvertantly locked in an air-tight box car. All but one died from the heat and lack of water. Eighteen-month-old Jessica McClure captured the nation ' s attention for 58 hours in late October. While playing in a Mid- land, Texas backyard, the toddler fell down an abandoned well only eight inches across. She fell 22 feet, where she lodged and stayed for more than two days while res- cuers drilled another hole next to the one in which she ' d fallen. The girl came out of the ordeal relatively unscathed, although doctors were forced to amputate a few toes. An earthquake measuring 6. 1 on the Richter scale hit Southern California. There was moderate damage to buildings and six deaths, but more importantly, the quake showed how unprepared the area is for the big one. The Persian Gulf An Iraqi pilot mistook the USS Stark, a frigate operating in th Persian Gulf, for an Iranian tank- er and fired a missile at the ship, killing 37. The question was not why was the missile fired? but why, in such a political hot- spot, did the Stark ' s elaborate weaponry system fail to detect and destroy the incoming mis- sile? In response to the attack, for which Iraq apologized and offered to pay damages, Reagan asserted the need for the U.S. ' s presence in the Gulf, and went further by stating that the U.S. would begin protecting Kuwaiti ' ankers flying the American flag. The Iranians had long been suspected of laying mines in in- ternational waters, and finally they were caught red handed. In a surprise attack, the U.S. Navy captured the Iran Ajr with nine mines still on board. The mission netted five Iranians dead and 26 captured. Later, a U.S. observation heli- copter was fired upon by Iranian gunboats. Two attack helicopters returned fire, sinking one Iranian vessel and disabling two others. The Iranians made the Gulf just a little more tense when they fired a Chinese-made Silkworm missile at a Kuwaiti oil tanker, hitting it and causing moderate damage. In response to the Iranian attack of the Kuwaiti tanker, the U.S. Navy bombarded an Iranian oil-loading platform, destroying it. The Iranians fought back by launching another missile at Sea Island, a Kuwaiti oil-loading facility. Only ships carrying Kuwaiti oil are designated as being protected by the United States, so no further action was taken.

NEWS Louisiana News PENNINGTON BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH CENTER 6400 PERKINS ROAD LSU ' s Pennington Biomedical Research Center has sat like a beached whale on Perkins Road for quite some time. Empty, yet costing the state thousands in maintenance every month, the desire to open the center has been high on the agenda the entirety of 1987. U.S. Representative Richard Baker has made several attempts to gain federal funding to get the center operating, and, in fact, $3.5 million was appropriated by the Department of Defense. Unfortunately, as of December 31, 1987, the center ' s doors are still closed. Another push to bring science to the bayou state was made by Senator J. Bennett Johnson. Johnson was instrumental in promoting Louisiana for the proposed supercollider — a ring approximately 53 miles in dia- meter used for accelerating sub- atomic particles to near light- speed. Louisiana ' s stable geolo- gy was one of the senator ' s major selling points, the The federal government, though, decided that there were better states with similar geology.

The U.S. Supreme Court de- clared Louisiana ' s creationism law — the law permittng the teaching of evolution only if creationism was taught along side — to be unconstitutional. Self-made millionaire Butch Baum had announced his can- didacy for the position of gov- ernor long before what would be considered normal; he was out to win the gubernatorial position like he made his money — with hard work. Though it appeared to be paying off, Baum would never reach to Governor ' s mansion, or the race for that matter, because the private plane he was flying crashed in an Oklahoma field, hundreds of miles from his des- tination.

Out of something bad did come something good for LSU; in his will, Baum donated $1.2 million to the university. Cuban detainees took over the U.S. Penitentiary in Atlanta and the Federal Detention Center in Oakdale after word that the Un- ited States was preparing to de- port 2545 people back to Cuba. The Cubans holding the deten- tion center in Oakdale took hos- tages, but only one was hurt. An mentally ill inmate stabbed a hos- tage in the back of his neck. The other inmates quickly turned both the Cuban and his victim over to the authorities. The hostages were kept eight days — they were detained during Thanksgiving, but were released in time for Christmas. For the large part, they were treated well, athough the same can ' t be said for the compound — the detainees burned 11 of 15 buildings. Two changes in law were on many people ' s minds early in the year. Both were controversial, and both involved the federal government. One, instead of driving a slow 55 m.p.h. on the interstates, it is now legal to drive 65 outside of city areas. The other law was not taken lightly by the state ' s youths — the drinking age was officially raised from 1 8 to 21 years. Or was it? A loop hole in the law makes it illegal for an 18 or 19-year-old to buy alco- hol, but not for establishments to sell it. So many area bars still serve the younger crowd. An Alabama entrepeneur car- ried 3168 tons of garbage away from the trash ' s New York place of origin, trying to first dump the load in North Carolina before turning the barge toward Louisiana.

Two of the more notable protests LSU witnessed were over diverse and seemingly in- concequential things. They both took place during the spring semester. To refresh one ' s memory, the Union Film Committee was pro- hibited from showing the French film Hail Mary by the Union Governing Committee. Foul play was cried, but the chancellor re- fused to overrule the decision. When the spring semester rolled around, the SGA came to the res- cue. Sensing such a demand for a showing of the film, the assem- bly presented it in the Life Scien- ce Building ' s lecture auditorium, which has more seats than the Union ' s movie theater. What ' s interesting about the LSU screening of this film (which came almost, if not more than, a year after its initial release in New York) is how far behind Louisiana is. Long after the furor had died down up north, the Catholic community in Baton Rouge was up in arms. This movie is sacraligious! they cried. In reality, the movie is re- portedly pretty boring. Had there been no protest, only a fraction of the audiences that twice packed the auditorium would have gone to see it. The other protest was for a more serious cause, though much of the campus failed to sym- pathize with the activists. The PSN — Progressive Student Net- work — picketed the CIA ' s re- cruiting on campus. Network members claimed that the CIA was responsible for legalized murder in Central America. The CIA was not affected, though, as recruitment went on as scheduled. Ending a week that began with relatively balmy temperatures. Baton Rouge and south-central Louisiana in general was frosted on Friday, Februrary 5, with a generous blanket of snow. Re- sulting from uncharacteristically harsh weather that began the pre- vious Wednesday, the snowfall continued until early Saturday morning and started again breifly on Sunday. While most out-of- state students stood by unim- pressed, local LSU students were ecstatic, initiating snowball fights and other icy activities as long as temperatures allowed. Tragedy struck early at LSU in 1987. After spending the evening at the Bengal Lounge on High- land, Rd. with her twin sister and friends, Donalyn Robillard was stabbed to death while walking to her car. An employee of the bar gave chase to the assailent, but to no avail. Later, Leslie Young turned himself in to the San Fran- sisco, California police with re- gard to the crime. He confessed that he was under the influence of cocaine at the time of the killing. 06 J le, NEWS The unofficial campus min- stral, Jerry Schumacher, was much in the news in 1987. The outspoken songster ran for SGA president, but to no avail. Later, he had some harsh words for the Reveille and its staff. To cap off the year, because of his alleged disorderly conducted during a meeting of the SGA assembly, Schumacher had his assembly speaking and voting rights re- voked, although he wasn ' t actually impeached. One of Schumacher ' s pres- idential opponents is less con- troversial, but no less in the news. Mark Tullis defeated the odds as well as Kevin Hayes in taking the top spot in the SGA. Tullis is the first non-Greek pres- ident in about a decade, and defe- ated fraternity member Hayes by a whopping 658 votes. Tullis immediately made good on his claim that he would not accept the salary or scholarship given to the SGA president, even though the assembly questioned the constitutionality of his refus- al. Over the summer, Tullis ' un- miserly attitute almost cost him his position. Citing financial dif- ficulties, he announced his plans to step down. By the start of the fall semester, though, his trou- bles had eased, and he was in to stay. He did not, though, go back on his vow not to accept any money. Just to prove to the stu- dents he meant business, Tullis actually did cash one paycheck, only to throw the cash to an eager Free Speech Alley crowd. In addition to his own financial fru- gality, Tullis says he saved the SGA almost $50,000 during his term. LSU got a big moralle and ego boost this year when it was desig- nated a Research University I by the Carnegie Foundation. This is the highest designation a uni- versity can attain. LSU was rank- ed 35th among the country ' s top colleges. The university achieved such a prestigious honor with a lot of quality research in all the depart- ments.

The facsimile edition and a visual history of the book are now on display at Hill Memorial Lib- rary.

Martin, whose office has cus- tody of the original Domesday Book, said no other country has any document like it. We have a glimpse not only of daily life in the 1 1th century but also of politics at Us most intimate. Martin said someone intelli- gent must have convinced the Norman conqueror, who was probably illiterate, to commit such a vast amount of England ' s research towards this project. Geoffrey Martin. Keeper of the Public Records in London, after opening the Domesday Exhibit for LSU. Little Domcsdav Boo The Domesday H hihn encompasses so much material, several display eases are needed The Domesday project in- volved hundreds, perhaps thousands of the king ' s men travelling around England asking questions of landowners of diffe- rent counties. The new ruler wanted to know: 1 ) who owned what and where; 2) how much land was rented out and to whom; 3)what services the landowners owed him and 4) how much landowners owed the crown in taxes and how that pay- ment might increase. Once compiled, the Domesday Book became the final authority in matters of property ownership, which accounts for its apocalyp- tic title. Martin said the landowners of the time may have believed hav- ing their land inventoried signal- led doom as well. Work on the book stopped when William the Conqueror died in 1087. But it was soon outdated as the numerous succes- sions following the king ' s death caused much property to be redis- tributed. By the 16th century, interest in the Domesday Book as a docu- ment of h istorical significance caught on. The first published copy of the book, available in 1783, is itself considered a rarity. The Domesday Book was moved in the 19th century to its present home in the Public Re- cords Office, the national arc- hives in Great Britain. Advanced scientific techni- ques and scholarship have led to more important discoveries about the Domesday Book in this cen- tury. Martin said transferring the book to a computer format is making further research possible. Martin praised the quality of the LSU facsimile, calling it an uncannily, almost indecently, accurate reproduction for which it is possible on occasion to mis- take for the original. The entire exhibit, located in the first and second floor lobbies of Hill Library, is a colorful col- lection of photos and artifacts ab- out the histories of both the ori- ginal Domesday Book and the facsimile edition. The exhibition will travel to other institutions when its LSU showing is completed in De- cember.

After a few quick calls to solidify the fact in your mind that all of your friends are just too darn busy to accompany you on an aimless jaunt in search of food, you hop in your fiercesome hunk of Asian steel , set your stick in drive and your stomach on hold. With your need to consume still unsatisfied you begin to mentally thumb through an in- visible index of culinary plea- sures.

Within minutes you heartily devou r a Taco Bell Grande, a Pinto n ' Cheese, and a carbonated delight of your own choosing, all for a mere four to five bucks. You begin to wonder, though, if such Latin American goodness could be had even cheaper (although volume is what you ' re really worried ab- out). Again your hungered soul leads you in search of victuals. Always one to keep in a groove, you soon arrive at Pancho ' s (Nicholson, across from the Cat- fish Town Flea Market). You ' re lured in by the lurid ' ' 4 tacos for a dollar banner outside. As you consume about 400,000 pesos worth of tortilla-encased fun. your mind wanders back to sim- pler times, times when similar ethnic enjoyment could be had for an even lighter fare at the fabled Taco Inn (posthumous location: 2819 Highland, vigils held nighty). Now armed (after a few sopa- pillas) with a solid base of sto- mach contents that would surely explode into flames upon contact witht he atmosphere, you plug on in search of more forage. The tempest inside you, however, calls for something a bit more sedate, even marginally health- ful! Something oriental. At Chi- na Inn (Gardere location) that peculiar ambiance is found. For $4.99 ($8 sans discount coupon) your palate is treated to a virtual smorgasbord of healthful , steam- cooked proteins and fibers. Oh boy, you muse to yourself as your current fare pacifies your still-unrestful viscera. The gol- den road to regularity IS some- times paved with good flavor. Still driven by a near-demonic need to ingest, once again you go cruising for edible exilement, pausing only briefly to floss away the debris of your previous ven- ture.

Startlingly, you answer your own poignant ques- tion, when, as if by some arcane force, your auto zips into the rather congested parking lot of Lyman White ' s Buffalo Wings Express (133 Lee, just down from the Daquari Cafe), thus making cuisine from the other side of ethnic very accessible. Although esteemed alumnus Rex Reed (famous journalist peren- nial wit) has yet to open his own restaurant, ex-LSU linebacker White has. and with delightful results. For about $2-8 you leave the establishment with the im- mense satisfaction of a meal well chewed. Think about this — tacos, sweet and sour pork and now ab- out six chicken wings with a generous portion of red beans and rice. Somehow it seems so har- monic. Perhaps those with colsed minds should soundlessly open their mouths instead, leading to perhpas racial harmony. An in- testinally-based racial harmony perhaps, but better than nothing, for sure. Before heading home for a tra- vail filled night of gastro- intestinal recovery, one last pass is made to complete your evening of oral bliss.

I don ' t know why I wasn ' t in- vited to join. I mean, at least Sal- ley, Kathy and Jane know why they ' re at home now. Of course they offered to take me out as consolation, but I think that I would just rather be alone right now. Jane was hoping to pledge — but she dropped after the second round of parties because her grades weren ' t good enough. I think Salley knew she wouldn ' t be able to afford to join a sorority when she started Rush. My God, the one she wanted to join was around $1000 the first year alone. Kathy thought at first she ' d like to Go Greek but after going to the parties she decided she could meet friends with more in common in a non-Greek atmosphere. She said that she thought that some sororties seemed typically rich, while others seemed like only smart girls were in them. I can ' t say be sure of anything, but during the parties I felt like I was being pigeonholed, that I was being stereotyped. It was almost like I had to act a certain way to belong. Suzie, who pledged — sug- gested that I try during informal rush, but that seems a second- best to me. I guess I ' ll sit out this year, and if I still want it bad enough, I ' ll rush again next year. 72 Hush Contrast Oororitie rr iwy a a magine this. She ' s a senior in a private high, or even, God forbid, a public one. She ' s got a bunch of friends. She ' s fair- ly popular with both the guys and girls. In the fall she ' ll be going to LSU — where she ' ll be only one of almost 30,000 students. Her biology class will have more stu- dents than her graduating class at high school. What can she do? Despair? No. . .she can join a sorority! Now this is alot of hard work. During the spring of her senior year, she sends a data sheet and two snap- shots of herself to an alumna from each of the sororities she mij;ht like to join. The alumna will then send a letter of recom- mendation to the sorority. Some- times it helps if Mom or Sis were in a sorority, which makes the girl a legacy of that sorority. Af- ter receiving a letter of recom- mendation, the sorority extends an invitation to the girl so she can attend the first party of rush. Rush is usually the week be- fore school starts. It begins with all the girls who hope to go through rush reporting to the Un- ion Ballroom in order to pick up their invitations to the first party. This is known as the ice water party, because no alcohol is served. A girl can go to the par- ties of all 12 sororities. She ' ll stay 20 minutes at each house. The next day she goes back to the Ballroom to pick up her second round invitations. Even though all 1 2 sororities might ex- tend an invitation . her, she is allowed to accept only ten of them. This round of parties la st two days. She goes to five parties one day, and five the next. After this round is over, she goes back to the Ballroom to pick up her third round invitations. This time she is only allowed to accept six invitations. She ' ll attend three the first day and three the second. Finally, there ' s the prefer- ence party. This time the girl accepts invitations from the three sororities she would most like to join, and after the parties are over, she go back to the Ballroom and ranks the three in the order of her preference. Then she has a day to rest. Back at the sorority houses, the members pour over the list of names and faces of the prospec- tive pledges. This could be a long and tedious process lasting until the wee hours of the morning. During this time, the sororities attempt to match up their choices with the girls ' choices. Some sororities get the maximum num- ber of pledges allowed, but then again, some don ' t. That ' s what informal rush is for. Once in, the girl will have lots to do. There ' s Pledge Day on Monday, Pizza Day with her big sister, and Chapter Day. There ' s pledge meetings, chapter meet- ings and study hall — which is good because she has to keep her grades up in order to become in- tiated. They even have pledge lests, where they ' re quizzed on t e history of the sorority, the C reek alphabet, and maybe even tl e members names. There ' s the exchanges that happen almost every Thursday, Grab, and a bunch of other par- ties, including the formals. There ' s making party cups for eve-ything, and, of course, she can meet alot of cute fraternity guys. Best of all though, it ' s the feel- ing of belonging that a sorority gives to a girl who would other- wise feel lost and alone. ' Kus i Contrast 73 1 ft Ticket Trauma David Evans, a.k.a.

People were planning to camp out for almost a week and a half to get tickets, but their plans were scuttled as security announced that no camping out would be allowed until Thursday of the week which tickets would go on sale. By the time Saturday finally arrived a great herd had converged under the ramps of the Assembly Center. Tick- ets went on sale and were sold out in a matter of minutes. Devoted fans of the band tried every known tactic to acquire some of these precious commodities. At the time of the concert though , some haw- kers found that they could not even get purchase price for their tickets. One pat- ron bought a ticket for $5 and told about a friend of his who bought one for $3. David Hawkins Students camped out two days for tickets although many were turned away.

However, the Irish rock group U2, consisting of lead sine Bono, guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton and drum- mer Larry Mullen, Jr.. took the holiday season one step further. Bono and band performed on November 26, 1987, not just to entertain, but to increase aware- ness of issues such as world hun- ger and amnesty. The theme of the concert: sing for peace. Despite the serious under- tones, U2 put on a spectacular show. A pulsating energy filled the sold out Assembly Center as the band beat out recent songs like Where the Streets Have No Name and Trip Through Your Wires from the album The Joshua Tree, as well as some old greats like I Will Follow and Gloria. They paid tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. with the song MLK, and on a lighter note, cowboy hat clad Bono said he like to tour America because I can wear a hat like this. One of the high points of the show came during Sunday, Bloody Sunday as Bono bound- ed across the stage, asking their infamous question, No More What? The audience answered with a resounding War! ' ' Other greats followed such as New Year ' s Day and Pride (In the Name of Love), and after their hit With or Without You, Bono thanked the crowd with a majestic bow. Then, one lucky fan had one of his fatasies fulfil- led when he was pulled onstage to play the guitar on U2 ' s rendi- tion of The Impressions ' People Get Ready. When the band closed the show with 40, everyone knew this was a night never to be for- gotten. The audience drifted out of the Assembly Center singing — asking U2 and each other How long to sing this song? Probably for a long time to come.

Several hundred thousand people showed up to see the Pope in New Orleans, many of whom are high in the church hierchy themselves. 82 Pope ' s ' Visit •Sat Pope John Paul II visits New Orleans One of the stops of the ten-day United States visit by Pope John Paul II was the Louisiana Super- dome for the Catholic Youth Ral- ly held on September 12, 1987. The program consisted of two Christian musicians paying tri- bute to the Pope : Tom Franzak sang Build Up the Body and Dana Scallan sang ' ' Totus Tuus ' ' ( Totally Yours ), the Pope ' s motto. Each of these singers took time before His Holiness had ar- rived to practice the refrains the attending youths sang later on in the program. The highlight of the program was Pope John Paul II ' s arrival in the Popemobile. He circled the dome and people waved to him eagerly. Those sitting on the floor of the Superdome ran to the surrounding guard rails to get a peek at the Pope. After he addres- sed the youth on the topic of Unity in the Work of Service , he was then treated to a mini- Mardi Gras parade. It consisted of three floats capturing the ideas of celebrating, sharing, and dreaming exhibited by the youth of New Orleans. Later in the program, three other youths were allowed to pre- sent gifts to the Pope. Sally Davis, a seventeen-year-old Mercy Academy student, pre- sented His Holiness with a piece of King Cake containing the plas- tic baby. Naidja Taylor, a six- teen-year-old attending Alfred Lawless High School, and Alex- ander Ennis from Our Lady of the Holy Cross College, also made presentations, the latter being a Mardi-Gras mask.

D ' Hemecourt said a great deal of research and thought went into the concept of the coin, which is available for collectors in bronze, silver and gold. The front of the medallion fea- tures the state outline with the boundaries of each parish, along with a Mardi Gras mask, an oil rig, a fleur de lis, a magnolia flower, the capital building and a crawfish. On the reverse side is a brown pelican and her chicks, along with eighteen stars along the edge, with a ribbon etched between the stars. Both professors poured over photographs of other Lousiana memorabilia, such as the Centen- nial medallion of 1912. In addi- tion, they used other information sources including a book by Joseph E. Brown, The Return of the Brown Pelican. Brown ' s book was helpful in determining just how many peli- can chicks should appear on the coin, based on how many chicks are normally in a brown pelican ' s brood. There are three featured on the coin. The Louisiana Centesepte- quinary Commission granted d ' Hemecourt the exclusive rights to market the medallion. The coin was introduced during June, 1987, at the Louisiana Numisma- tic Association ' s annual conven- tion in Lafayette. Numismatics is the collection of coins and money. The first edition of the gold and silver medallion was donated by d ' Hemecourt to the State De- partment of Archives located here in Baton Rouge.

Then LSU gave the ball right back with a fumble. The Gamecocks couldn ' t do any- thing with it, as Nicky Hazard grabbed an Ellis pass and re- turned it to near midfield. The Tigers took a few plays, and fum- bled the ball back to the Game- cocks. This time USC held on to the ball long enough for a touch- down. David Browndyke came on the field somewhat later to tie the Gator Bowl record with a fourth field goal. Although neither team was to score again, ending the game at LSU 30, USC 13, Greg Jackson did make another interception, giving LSU an out and out Gator Bowl record for most yards re- turned on interceptions. In addition to the Tigers finally winning a bowl game (the first time in the last five tries), the Gator Bowl win gave LSU the first ten-win season and the high- est ranking (5th) since 1961.

The five-man rock crew, joined by an additional drummer and a power-house guitarist, rip- ped through an array of old tunes and compositions from their 1986 album— Third Stage. The performance was part of the Third Stage tour, Boston ' s triumphant return to the world of music. The band recently charged back into the limelight with that quadruple-platinum album, breaking an eight-year si- lence. When the album was release, some wondered whether a rough- edged band of the seventies could survive in the Top 40 decade, and whether the aging rockers still had what it takes. But if the Baton Rouge performance is any in- dication, Boston has more than enough energy to keep afloat. Gary Pihl backed the rythmn ol Boston as the group played a selection ol nines Irom the album Third Stage. ' Q0 Doug Hull man. one of Boston ' s Iwo drummers, brings life into the rythmn of the bands ' songs. Boston lead guitarist and MIT. grad Tom Scholz amazed the Baton Rouge crowd with his guitar wizardry. Guitarist and lead singer Brad Delp strode onto the stage with a modern look — the noble savage with a ferocious mane of curly hair and sleek, stylish clothes. His voice jumped from the melodic ballads of the Third Stage production to the coarse, throaty rock of the early albums with little apparent effort. Delp ' s vocals embodied a full range of music. He seemed at times a gospel singer, at others a country vocalist, later a soulful blues musician — and sometimes he was at full scream. But the star of the performance was certainly founder and lead guitarist Tom Scholz. According to the stories about production of the Third Stage album, Scholz spent six years in his basement studio working, sometimes from dusk until dawn, to perfect Boston ' s third album. And the stories may be true. Scholz seemed a hermit, sudden- ly thrust from his cave into the eighties. On stage he stood away from the others, in the cool blue stage lights, eyes closed as his fingers played over the guitar strings. As the other band members hopped around in the center of the stage, he stood calmly and played with awesome precision. He frequently launched into intricate, improvised solos, sometimes grinding with a pick, sometimes dancing over the strings on the neck of his golden guitar. And during an introduction to Don ' t Look Back, the title track from Boston ' s second album, Scholz commanded a huge silver and gold pipe organ, like a monk in the center of a noisy, fan-filled cathedral. The other members of Third Stage Boston are Gary Pihl, past guitarist for Sammy Hagar; Doug Huffman and Jim Masdea, the drummers; and David Sikes on bass. D.

Even so, the students, alumni, faculty, and administration of LSU have made a major commitment to improve the overall quality of the University. Success in this endeavor will require substantial input from students. While there are numero mic standing of LSU, the ectives of (1) improving ins tudents. components of the overall plan to improve the are no components more important than our ob- uction, and (2) limiting our enrollment to serious Consistent with our objective to substantially improve instruction, the University recently implemented a core curriculum consisting of thirty-nine hours of instruction. Since all freshmen students will have the advantage of this common educational experience, it is imperative that we make the courses involved into an outstanding and exciting educational experience. Faculty, department chairmen, and deans need input regarding the current quality of instruction and recommendations for improvement. The academic vice-chancellors and I also want student input on this important objective. I sincerely hope you will participate in this overall objective. Finally, LSU intends to implement admission requirements for Louisiana freshmen students in the Fall of 1988. The University already has strong ad- nts for graduate, upper level undergraduate, and all non- t students. After the Fall of 1988, all students will need to present educational credentials to gain entry into LSU. LSU will most prob- able decrease in size, and the quality of student life will increase over the next fo In the case of admission requirements, we need input from students re- garding the extent to which your high school prepared you for study at LSU. We also need to know whether the University did a good job of explaining the opportunities available at LSU and letting you know what was required to be successful at LSU. Finally, LSU needs students who place high value on ob- taining a good education. Toward that end, we need your help in explaining itment to quality to your friends and family at home. I ask that you continue to work toward the improvement of LSU on an individual basis and through the various student organizations. Student in- put on housing, food service, traffic, etc., has led to marked improvement over the past few years. We now need more student evaluation on academic nd I look forward to receiving your recommendations on this front.

' Students Orienting Stu- dents, or SOS, will be set upas a question and answer session fo- cused primarily at JD students who are business majors or unde- cided. Delta Sigma Pi members Edie Carr and Karen Walsh brain- stormed the program and are working with JD counselor Lou Powers. ' ' They are the first people who have approached us, and they have asked what they could do for JD students to help them- , Powers said. We ' ve never done anything like this through JD. Walsh said that SOS is to be held during October 1987 in the week befor pre-registration, and in conjunction with Career Deci- sion Workshops. We ' ll have tables set up that will be devoted to the different majors in the Business College, Walsh said. Carr, a marketing senior, said SOS will be advertised all over campus with posters and flyers, listings in The Daily Reveille, as well as with sign up sheets in the JD Department. These sheets will help us get an estimate of the number of stu- dents interested in coming, Carr said. Carolyn Collins, Associate Dean of JD said she hopes the idea of students working with JD will spread to other groups. We hope to make better use of student helping students, Collins said. I want (Delta Sig- ma Pi) to be involved in spring testing and in our welcome wagon for incoming out-of-state students and other projects. Walsh, an Internatio nal Trade and Finance major said that it is hard for JD counselors to go into detail with each student about each college. There are many changes occurring constantly in college and class requirements. We ' re hoping the students will understand better how the Business College works, Walsh said. Delta Sigma Pi president John Harbison agreed and added, Aside from personal experi- ence, I feel there is no better way for JD students to gain insight as to what the College of Business is all about than from an upperc- lassman. But Powers said, We don ' t want to encourage students to pick one college over the other; we want to help students do what ' s best for them. Christine Walsh Peer Counseling 95 Fire school tops in nation It began in 1 963 on the second floor of Pleasant Hall with one office, one secretary, and two in- structors. And there it stayed un- til 1972 when the realization came about that you can neither teach nor learn fire fighting from one room on the second floor of a building. Today, LSU ' s Fire Training Program has become so successful that it has its own 51 acre facility on Nicholson Drive, and is ranked among the top three fire training schools in the nation. Under the direction of Thomas Hebert, LSU ' s 25 fire training in- structors train men and women to become firefighters from civilian entry level all the way up to the fire official heirarchy. The stu- dents come from a variety of places: local, national and inter- national. On the local level, the school is mandated by the state to provide on-going and updated training to municipal fire depart- ments throughout the state. Nationally, the school is recog- nized as an authority in fire fight- ing and is often consulted for advice in fire fighting emergen- cies. On the the international level, the school ' s instructors have taught students from Costa Rica, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Aruba. Their success in teaching on the international level is being recognized more and more, which Hebert says is contributed to the instructors ' dedication. Some instructors are even sent to the students ' country in order to determine the needs of that coun- try and what it has in the line of facilities and equipment. The fire training school sees 15,000 individuals yearly. The programs range from 1 2-30 hours on a three day program used for specialization or updating pur- poses, to 270 hours on a four to five week basic training prog- ram. The number of students per class varies according the course being taught, with some allowing an unlimited number. The aver- age number taught, however, falls around 30, as the instructors would rather have their students fight a big fire than see one, Hebert said. Those students suc- cessfully meeting the require- ments of the five week basic training become a certified Fire- fighter I, and then can progress to levels II and III and then branch off into special areas. The students receive both clas- sroom and practical field instruc- tion. In the classroom, the school utilizes a text written by instruc- tors from all over the country, overheads, slides, VHS, 16 mm films and of course, the chalk- board, according to Assistant Director Goose Carroll In the field, students learn hose handling, ladder work, rescue work involving high-rise build- ings, cars and water. Facilities used include a tank car, a press- ure pit, pipe rack and flange fire. All these devices help train for liquid petroleum gas fires, oil fires, nuclear fires and house fires. Although LSU ' s fire training school is part of the university under the Continuing Education Division, it does not receive state funding. It obtains its funds from Act 32, and self generated methods. Through Act 32 the school receive one-fourth of one percent of all fire insurance col- lected throughout the state. Self- generated funds come from prog- ram fees, ranging from no charge for certain municipal-taught courses, and go up to $270 for special industry-taught courses. The average fee for the five-week basic training program is $150. For organizational purposes, the school divides itself into two separate divisions. The municip- al division contains the special operations program, the regional program, the certification prog- ram, and the media service program. Special operations includes hazardous materials, line officer training, emergency medical ser- vice, driver and pump training, rescue, and inspection investiga- tions. In the regional program the state is divided into six regions with a coordinator in each. The coordinator ' s job is to conduct updated training programs and standardizing administration to the 80 to 100 fire departments in his region. The certification program develops, administers and grades tests to certify that the student has met his requirements. Media service develops films and other material to educate the pub- lic on fire prevention, as well as materials to supplement the stu- dents training. The other division, industrial, offers training and services in many of the same areas as the municipal division, but are con- densed into only one program which is used to educate firefigh- ters who work for industries, and only at their request. Hebert said that the industrial division pays for itself while the municipal division is run on funds obtained by Act 32. Hebert contributes the school ' s widely recognized suc- cess to its dedication, profes- sionalism and staff. Hebert said the school only has a staff of 35, but each member takes pride in his job and the public service the school provides, and is willing to go the extra mile to make the program run.

Over a dozen professors at LSU are conducting research in the field of psychology, but un- less the Psychology Department is purposely covering up these Frankensteinish experiments, none are conducting research on any such bizarre topics. The professors do ask for volunteers, but the requirements are somewhat stiff, the work is demanding and the job is re- search assistant, not guinea pig. Students hoping to become in- volved in research are generally required to be at least a sopho- more, and often need at least a 3.0 GPA. Some professors have less strict criteria for their help, while some make it even harder to get on the research team. Dr. Blanchard-Fields, who is researching topics ranging from the development of social reason- ing to adulthood and aging, said that her student-workers have usually done well in one of her classes, and then discuss with her getting on her research team, which consists of juniors, seniors and graduate students. During the semester they are involved in research, the students sign up for independent study. Psychology 4999, for which they do receive a grade.

Some students are used as the subjects of psychological experi- ments, but often they are kept in the dark as to the purpose of the research. In addition, to keep re- sults accurate, subjects are asked not to discuss the experiments, especially with other subjects. Much of the psychological re- search done at LSU is conducted on other than college students, though. The School of Home Economics Preschool Laboratory is used for some research; other testing is done at the Psycholo- gical Services Center and the Earl K. Long Hospital. Research being conducted by different professors include mechanisms of pain sensation, chemical stimulation of the brain. The results sought for in pychological experiments vary from researcher to researcher, but the purpose generally re- mains the same — to publish. Graduate students, both at the Masters and Ph.D. level, are aiming for their thesis; professors already with their degrees seek recognition by their peers in both academia and the professional setting. As is the case with most de- partments on campus, the Pychology department hopes not only for its members and students to make a name for themselves in the research field, but the depart- ment as well as the college, and the university.

Geologic Garden: An Oasis Indoors Planned as a joint creative effort between the LSU Museum of Geoscience and various other committees within the Geology Department, the Geologic Gar- den was placed within the new Geology Annex in the same man- ner small shopping centers are built within Hyatt-Regency hotels. Although quite attractive in it ' s present state, including several types of plants and fossil- ized rocks, the Geologic Garden still expects many more improve- ments and innovations before it ' s November dedication. Among the expected additions to the Gar- den are: several more small boul- ders and shrubs, special exhibi- tion pieces for occasional display and, most prominently, a gigan- tic pendulum. This pendulum will dangle preponderously from the raised atrium of the Garden where it will move ever-so- slightly in conjunction with the rotation of the earth in turn knocking down small blocks on the Garden floor. In light of such commendable effort on behalf of the Geology department, the Geologic Garden will no doubt will come to em- body the entire spirit of the disci- pline of geology, much like the Greek Theater does for the Speech Department. And it will of course give everyone a chance to see some really cool rocks.

Prehistoric Cjarden 101 T Computers for the blind From once being considered merely adequate in its status as a competitive school of busi- ness, the LSU College of Busi- ness Administration can now boast of being one of the best funded and certainly biggest pro- ducer of employable business majors in the entire South. Remarkably enough, most of this prestige has been earned just in this very decade. With such changes as a new dean, several new associate deans, and mass additions to the faculty in gener- al , the College began the 80s with a yen for change. This rapid metamorphosis is easily exempli- fied in the college ' s mammoth computer facility, which over the past three years has grown to in- clude over 120 microcomputers, 40 dot-matrix printers and exten- sive interfacing capabilities. In fact, over 80% of the college ' s faculty have PC microcomputers in their offices. Perhaps the most compelling of these strides towards the future of business educatio n is the intro- duction of computer facilities for the blind. A project that was gra- ciously funded by the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, the sys- tem consists of specially-altered IBM PC XT computers that make use of a special voice synthesizer to speak to the student.

In late July of 1987 the position was awarded to Garry Ballard, allowing acting- director Jackie Bartkiewicz to re- turn to her regular position of Associate Director. Ballard came from Georgia, where he was Managing Editor of Publications for the University of Georgia ' s Continuing Education Center. Ballard said that in the few months he ' s been here at LSU he has been trying to learn the cam- pus and understand the school ' s strengths and weaknesses. He said he believes that public rela- tions begins at home, and so he is making an attempt to look at what the university does internally. I ' m delighted to be at LSU. It ' s an exciting place, he said. Referring to LSU ' s recent de- signation as a Carnegie Founda- tion Research University I, he added that he thinks LSU can help the people of the state. We have some world-class resear- chers, he said. His job at the PR department will include overseeing four separate departments — News Releases, the Publications De- partment, the Photo lab, and the Electronic Media Department. While the departments work together, they each have their own duties. The News Release Department works with promoting LSU in the external media. Publications works with all printed material, such as the college catalog. 104 J eto Director of Public ' Relations Duties of the Photo Lab are, of course, processing photographs. Video presentations for recruit- ing and other uses are the end result of the Electronic Media Department ' s endeavors. Ballard began his career as a sports writer and eventually moved up to an editting position with The Statesville Record Landmark in Statesville, North Carolina. He also served two years in the Army. Later he worked as the Direc- tor of the News Bureau at Winth- rop College in South Carolina and Assistant Director of In- formation at University of North Carolina at Charlotte. David Grenkevich ■ Farming for the future Is it really true that to today ' s youth, agriculture is as foreign a concept as 8 — track tapes, and the only elite organization they want to someday join is currently on it ' s Heavy Metal Hell tour through the midwest? Maybe not! At least not some of the students currently enrolled in the College of Agriculture ' s curriculum, that is. It seems that the college, in a quest to help inform the state of the importance of agricultural education, has assembled a small unit of some of the best agriculture students at LSU. The group, named Les Voyageurs after the French set- tlers who first farmed Louisiana soil, is made up of a select few agriculture students who will travel to different locations in Louisiana representing the Col- lege of Agriculture. In fulfilling this role as the college ' s embodi- ment of excellence, the group will make appearances at high schools, 4-H functions, and va- rious civic clubs. In order to gain students of the proper scholastic caliber, the col- lege sent letters to all university department heads asking for help in finding potential Voyageurs. After the names of several candi- dates were accumulated, inter- views were arranged. At the interviews, students were selected on the basis of speaking ability, past scholastic achievement, and a minimum 2.8 GPA. In addition to these re- quirements, the student had to possess at least 30 hours of col- lege credit with at least 1 5 earned at LSU. After the interviews were com- pleted, the list of names was hon- ed down to 8 of the brightest and best agriculture students here at LSU. Nancy Webber, a sophomore horticulture major, was glad to be accepted into the organization because she believes in the im- portance of the program. Not very many people are aware of the benefits available through the college , Nancy said. It is a very good idea. Billy Lambert, a junior dairy science major, also feels honored to be a part of the college ' s in- novative experiment, although he admits that it ' s going to be a little tough at first getting orga- nized, but eventually it will really help the college. The Voyageurs ' first official function was the College of Agri- culture ' s Alumni Reunion held on October 16. Here the Voyageurs assembled together and established their by — laws. Steve Zafutto These eight students represent the College of Agriculture as ' Superfarmers. ' They are (1 to r) Chris Reeves, Liz Home, Wil- liam Landry, Ruth Clark.

Not so in the College of De- sign. Although its GPA require- ments are a lenient 2.0, the cata- log warns students considering Design, However, it must be noted that the College of Design has a policy of selective admis- sion presently applied to the programs in architecture, graphic design, interior design, and land- scape architecture. The catalog goes on to say absolutely nothing as to how stu- dents are selected. Well, let ' s not jump to conclu- sions and assume there are strange primative rites involved here. It ' s much simpler than that. Dean Ken Carpenter said the college takes the students with Naserdoin Haider works on his proposal for the fast-food restaurant design com- petition. Scott Cabes decides which design studio he should register for after being admitted into Design, despite rigorous require- ments set by the School of Design. the top 51 GPA ' s in required courses for architecture, and the top 36 for interior design and graphic design. As important as the question ot How is, Why is of equal interest. First one must realize that LSU is only one of two schools in this fine state that has a five-year program . In addition, there are usually more students than spaces avail- able in the college. Carpenter said thst often the ratio of stu- dents applying to spaces avail- able is around 2:1, although in architecture this year, less stu- dents applied than were spaces available. He said the function of selective admissions is to balance spaces and students. Lately, a bad situation has been getting worse. With the budget crunch, as many as ten faculty members have been lost. For those about to apply, take heart. Dean Carpenter said the policy is a good idea because it not only gets only the best stu- dents for the university, but it gives the others time to decide if design is what they really want to do.

' 1 What if surgeons could sit clown at a computer, simulate a patient ' s damaged hand, and then try various operations on the hand to determine the best thing for the actual patient? That ' s what a team of doctors, engineers and computer prog- rammers are trying to accom- plish. Included in the team are David Thompson and John Brewer. Ill of the LSU Depart- ment of Mechanical E n - gineering. Part of the problem the men faced was that in a human hand there are 44 muscle-tendon units, 27 major bones, and more than 18 joint articulations. The system in development uses CT-scans of an actual hand, but doesn ' t stop there. The com- puter allows the physician to simulate in real-time different movements of the hand, and to watch the results graphically pre- sented on a CRT. The equipment used by the team is by no means off-the- shelf. No PCs here; rather, the equipment consists of a DEC host and Sutherland display, a digitiz- ing tablet, and other peripherals. The work being done repre- sents just the start in combining mathematical modeling, compu- ter graphics and bimechanics to form a tool useful to practicing physicians and researchers alike.

To be exact, during I Wh- 1987 the col- lege was awarded i I 1 .312,613 in funding from outside sources. The college can claim over one-third of the total research awards at LSU. This figure, which repre- sents the highest total ever obtained by a college in one year, is an increase of more than 230 percent. This is significant for several reasons. Not only docs it show industry ' s faith in the university, but in the long run it will attract top-rate scholars to LSU, as well as quality students. The money also provides unique opportunities for students, who get real- world experience in addition to the prac- The amounts of the awards vary as much as the research projects themselves — they went frorn only a few thousand dollars to the $2 million equipment grant by IBM to the Department of Chemical Engineering. Projects include one being done by Associate Professor Robert Mcllhenny. The industrial engineering professor is working on a computer-based injection molding system. The project is designed to create plastic parts, the entire process being controlled on a single computer. Other recent developments in the Col- lege of Engineering include an ex- perimental lab for solid state devices being run by Professor Pratul K. Ajmera. of the Department of Electrical and Com- puter Engineering. The lab, opened in 1984, has produced 2 Ph.D. students and 8 M.S. students, with 3 or4 more Ph.D. ' s expected in 1988-89. The lab got a major boost with an equipment grant from the U.S. Depart- ment of Defense to do research in thin- film material growth. It also was awarded a three-year research contract from the Solar Energy Research Institute to carry out research in photovoltaic thin-film materials. Dr. Ajmera has aquired more than $677,000 in funding over the last four years-. If U.S. Senator J. Bennett Johnson is correct, LSU st ands to receive the first part of a $25 million grant to establish the proposed Centerfor Advanced Micros- tructures and Devices. The center will be used for the develop- ment of extremely small semiconductor devices. One major focus will be the de- velopment of a facility for x-ray lithogra- phy, which will be accomplished with a synchotron. This compact electron stor- age ring would be the first in the United States. If LSU does indeed receive the grant. 25 new faculty members will be hired, as well as new facilities will be built. 108 ■ If the work of mechanical en- gineering students John Fussell and George LeBlanc becomes reality, soon paraplegics could be walking. Using less than $500, the two students have already built a pro- totype walker which weighs less than 21 pounds, and has a range of about 400 feet per battery . The unit is made with alumi- num and fiberglass, and uses small electric motors as a drive For less than $500, two LSU mechanical engineering seniors built a prototype wal- ker for paraplegics. mechanism. The walking machine, which was LSU professor John Beard ' s idea, is at this point still noisy and awkward to use, but further re- finements are expected. Previous walkers used muscle power and cables for propulsion, and only very strong individuals were able to walk with them. The model unveiled by the two LSU students has drawn the attention of physical therapists who want to test the device on actual para- plegics. Until that can happen though, the project will have to receive further funding, and legal consid- erations will have to be cleared up before actual handicap per- sons can be used as test subjects. For their work, Fussell and LeBlanc received the award for outstanding senior project in the Spring 1987 semester.

The conductor raises his baton. Rigoletto, right! La Boheme, left! Carmen. 36! Hut. hut, hut! Another winning team fires into action. While the LSU football team has once again attracted national recognition for its skilled players and chance at a title, there is another up-and-coming team on campus — the LSU Opera. It ' s the merging of two top teams, the LSU Opera program and the Baton Rouge Opera Company, that is causing some spectators to cheer. In fact, the merger has created the first program of its kind in the country — a fact which Dan Slier. Dean of the School of Music, and Henry Holt, director of the program, are quite excited about. ' We ' re in the exploratory stage of this. We don ' t know all the ramifications yet. but we can imagine the positive side of this. We really want to build a very fine major center for opera train- ing, said Holt. As a reviewer of companies for the National Endowment of the Aits. Holt say. I ' ve seen practi- cally every company in the coun- try. What I ' ve seen as missing from the opera scene is a fully integrated program between a professional company and a ma- jor university. When the Baton Rouge Opera Compay found itself in financial trouble last spring, Sher and Holt envisioned the opportunity for the two programs to support each other. All the operas scheduled this year will be done with both en- tities involved, that is everything from music director on down to the last violin player, Sher says. Many of the exorbitant expenses will be shared between the two programs. Opera is just a horrible ex- pensive venture to put on because you ' re paying for all sorts of things. Forexample, a symphony might have one guest soloist who ' s featured. But an opera is going to have to pay for sets, cos- tumes, makeups, coaches, pian- ists, stage directors, technical directors, lighting directors, chorus directors and assistants for all those people, Sher said. All this makes the whole thing, in a down economic cycle, an incredible luxury. Holt and Sher began to consid- er the possibilities of using the LSU Student Orchestra for per- formances, and singers who would not have to be paid be- cause they are students. Howev- er, they would continue to bring in professional singers to keep a professional presentation. The advantage to me was while we ' re losing a few major roles, we ' re adding an opera, maybe two, to the whole season, which is something absolutely and completely out of the ques- tion with our budget being slashed, Sher explained. The program means two things for students, according to Sher. hirst . they will have the oppor- tunity to work with a variety of outstanding professionals in the opera field who would not ordi- narily be available to them. Second, there is a increased num- ber of roles available because more operas will be produced. We automatically expand our season, we get the support of the Baton Rouge Opera and our singers get to sing side by side with professionals. Sher said. The two groups will perform ' . ' La Boheme by Puccini in October. The Magic Flute by Mozart in the spring and The Merry Widow by Lehar in early summer. But all the excitement over this season is not a new thing at LSU. The School of Music has as rich a tradition in opera as in any- thing it ' s ever done. At one time it was the only opera program in the state. Huey Long made opera a big splash and wanted the school to bring in big name pro- fessionals from the New York Metropolitan, Sher said. In a sense, this is a return to the glory days, he added. Holt, who joined the Baton Rouge Opera Company five years ago as a guest conductor, sees the merge as an historical event. Some programs in the country have involved a local opera com- pany and a university, but there has been no program that really explores the full potential of what can be accomplished. Holt said. He hopes the program will bet- ter serve the art community of Baton Rouge. There arc very few com- munities where the university is as popular with the arts people. Much of the arts life of Baton Rouge has been started and con- tinued at LSU. LSU provides a level of artis- tic events that is unusual, for which the musical crowd of Baton Rouge is grateful, Holt said. We can do a more interesting job in that we ' re not just bringing in someone and putting on a show two or three times a year, then it ' s over with nothing residual here, Holt said. He also plans to utilize local and regional singers who plan to live here and work in opera. As we get further into this, we feel we have a very strong pull for outside money, foundation help and help from the National Foundation for the Arts because of our model program, he said. Both men have long-range goals for the program. We want to continue to har- ness this program for the educa- tional values for our students. We know we have the only program of this kind, so this performance of ' La Boheme ' is really an his- toric occasion as far as we can tell. Sher said. And if comparing football and opera seemes a little farfetched, consider this... There was a study done where somebody measured the output of energy of a quarterback and a leading tenor. They found out that a tenor puts out consider- able more energy in the course of an opera performance than a quarterback in a whole football game. Holt said. One doesn ' t realize what a tremendous athle- tic event opera singing is! Carlen Pool 110 £SU Opera Xheattt Peler Puzzo, George Walter.

C M Andrews £SU Opeta Zheatce III Loss of Instructors Leads to Loss of Classes Although probably no depart- ment at LSU is safe from the dreaded budget cuts, one col- lege ' s cuts are affecting students in a way these studetns probably would have never imagined. The college in reference is Education. The training ground for teachers is off limits to most students at LSU... or is it? Just how many signed up for tennis or racquetball or bowling or any of the other activity classes offered as HPRD but didn ' t get a card? According to Records and Registration, 2464 activity cards were requested, and although some persons may have re- quested more than one card, we can say for sure that it was well over 2000 students who wanted to take PE, while only I 169 stu- dents actually received cards at registration. Of those 1300 odd students who are not getting the daily amount of physical activity and sweat they desired, how many knew this was due to the College of Educations ' s budget? Dean Smith said his college ' s budget was slashed by about $250,000, resulting in the loss of much-needed teachers. He said the hurt was biggest in the area of PE, and that the loss of faculty took away from positions already short. How short? Well, Records and Registration sources also cited that there are now 39 activity sec- tions open; 47 sections were can- celled. Dr. Smith said this was because ten instructors were lost, and some graduate assistants were moved from teaching posi- tions to research. For many of the classes the college is using graduate students as instructors. Dean Smith said that in the last five years, the administration had put in $1 million for new posi- tions, but just recently the college has had to give $750,000 back.

Vuts in 3£ m D 113 Learning Another Language Is State of the Art at LSU Around two years ago, the Foreign Language Labs, directed by Walter Puman, began being updated to one of the premier labs in the country. About $170,000 dollars later, the lab looks com- plete, but Dr. Puman said that because of technology, there will always be a way of improving the facilities. The three labs comprising the facilities are located on the second floor of Prescott Hall. The audio lab, which is utilized by most students in low level classes, though can be used by any student, reflects perhaps the biggest change. The old equip- ment utilized open reel tapes as opposed to cassettes with the new system, but the biggest drawback was that the student had no con- trol over what they were listening to. The equipment in use now consists of over two dozen indi- vidual cassette players with digit- al counters and electronic cueing systems. Not oniy can a student pick up any lesson tape at any time, but they can rewind and fast-forward the tape at their con- venience, stopping the tape manually, or at one of five spots they had selected earlier. The students wear a set of headphones with a microphone attached. The mike is used for just speaking and hearing oneself over the headphones, or for re- cording a track onto the cassette itself, which can then be listened to later. In addition there is a master control station. While normally not used, it is possible for a teacher to take a class into the lab and control the students ' stations from the front. This includes listening in on a student ' s pro- nunciations (without that student knowing it), or connecting any of the stations together in order to allow conversations between stu- dents over their headphone sets. At the present time, a student checks out a tape by leaving their ID, but Puman said that by next semester they should have a com- puterized system installed that reads the barcode on the ID in order to keep track of which stu- dents are using which tapes. Also in the audio lab are a couple of color monitors for indi- vidual viewing of foreign films on video tape. Puman said that some of the films have been dub- bed, while others are in the ori- ginal language with subtitles printed on the screen. He said that in the future the French De- partmer t was considering using video tapes for instructional pur- poses. Across the foyer from the au- dio lab is the video room. This room consists of nothing but a 48- inch rear-projection TV, used for grcup viewings of video tapes. Final y, there is the computer lab. Including several IBM PC ' s, a PC AT, an Apple Macintosh, a laser printer, among other pieces of equipment, the lab has many uses. Students may run foreign language programs, or they can just use the equipment for word processing purposes. Puman said there are four Word Perfect sta- tions connected to the laser printer. For use with the Macintosh is a Toshiba CD-ROM player. The CD-ROM represents the latest development, in computer tech- nology. On a regualar size CD, software companies store in- formation. The language lab has aquired a French dictionary on CD, which not only shows the word and definition on the screen, but has audio so that the user hears the word pronounced as well. The computer lab has the potential for the greatest growth because new software is avail- able for aquisition, and if it isn ' t available, it can possibly be de- veloped. David Grenkevich i The headphone sets allow the student to hear their own voice while speaking, or record it onto the tape. The new equipment in the foreign lan- guage lab allows 30 individuals to access programs in several different languages.

Is it the college for those who don ' t know just what they want out of life? Yeah. Is it the tempor- ary home for those nonmatricu- lating souls who can ' t yet enter the college of their choice, but have been exiled from JD? Sure. General College is those things. but it ' s other things, too. The Division of Interdisciplin- ary Studies involves faculty for the Department of Criminal Jus- tice and the Department of Con- struction (construction manage- ment, not technique, such as hammering and sawing). Also lumped into General Col- lege is the Division of Profes- sional Programs. This consists simply of advisers for the LSU Medical and Nursing schools in New Orleans. So, you might ask, if I ' m in my college and am not going to be- come a nurse, doctor, contractor or legal worker, what does General College offer for me? A lot, my friend. (That is the answer.) One large piece of General College is the Division of In- structional Support and Develop- ment (DISD). A long name for a division under which rests many services. Many students know of one all too well. Getting ready for a home football game and can ' t find your ID? Well, you best rush over to the ID Production Cen- ter inHimesHall, fork over $10 and thank General College that you ' ll get to see the game (assuming it ' s a non-televised home game). Now, admitedly, some other departments of the DISD will not hit home quite so forcefully, but they do affect students lives ev- ery semester just the same. Ever watch King Lear or King Richard III in an English class? Well, those VCRs are courtesy of the Instructional Re- course Center. Or was it one of those 16 mm films with the high- est quality sound? That was from the Instructional Support Center. Also giving help to numerous professors and instructors at LSU is the Media Production Center. The center provides many ser- vices of rather diverse natures. First we have the audio taping and duplication services. Well, that ' s pretty self explanatory. We also find Graphics Aids as part of Media Production. Graphic Aids does such things as make over- head transparencies for your biol- ogy class (and, of course, other classes, too). Three other services, or de- partments, are somewhat interre- lated. The Instructional Televi- sion Studio, Television Produc- tion Studio, and Science and En- gineering Instructional Televi- sion have worked together and alone in different programs. Cooperating with LSU Cable System, live call-in shows for classes such as calculus have been aired. There have also been Ba iAi Muhammad taped shows, such as the Che- mistry Lecture and Magic Show broadcast in October. Some tapes are made to be shown in the classroom situation, too. In the fall semester Residential Housing utilized the TV produc- tion studio to tape the ever- popular game show Wheel of the Tiger. Photographic services are also provided by Media Production. Boasting complete darkroom facilities, it is even able to pro- duce the high quality color slides (Fujichrome and Ecktrachrome) from which are made photos that grace the pages of ihe publication you are now reading.

M(K)n S. — Korea Qcaduate Students: Sen — Zheng First, a few startling and in- formative words about one start- ling and informative guy, John Chance. Mr. Chance is currently enrolled in LSU where he is now seeking a degree in finance. Of course, this endeavour is being undertaken after he earned his fist degree (in management) which he received last fall. Naturally, all of this financial sense is not being wasted for John has only recently sold his quite lucrative T-shirt business ( Eggies ) for an undisclosed but undoubtably rather prodigious amount of money. He also dabbles in stocks and is in the process of writing a book about collegiate enter- preneurs. In addition to all of these quite impressive feats, he has also worked extensively for a well-known congressman, traveled across America on his motorcycle, and lived quite happily with girls from Bang- ladesh. These are just some of the things he told us about. He has probably experienced even more exotic events he would STILL tell us about. Either way, he is a model citizen and just the kind of guy we like to have in a Gumbo personality profile, which is why Assistant Copy Editor Steve Zafutto interviewed him. Steve Zafutto GUMBO: First of all, about the Eggie shirts. How did we come up with that idea? JOHN: (ignores question at first, hands me a picture of him and a rather attractive young lady in evening wear) Here ' s a cool pic- ture, this is when me and my girl- friend crashed Zeta ' s formal one year. She ' s not a Zeta. GUMBO: Neither are you. I assume. JOHN: Naaah, but look, they took party pics and everything. We told ' em she was an alumni! GUMBO: Wow. What ' s your girlfriend ' s name. ' We can stick John Chance dramatis personae her in here too, you know. JOHN: Her name is Barbara Mal- leck. Nice girl, she ' s going to Law School at Loyola right now. GUMBO: Keen. Anyway, about the Eggies ? JOHN: Well, I had been drawing these little guys (the Eggie people) for a long time on post- cards. I would draw them all over the place. Suddenly I just decided one day that for Christmas I would just paint some of them on T-shirts for my nieces and nephews. One day I was drying these shirts on my sundeck when some of my buddies came by and said Wow! We like these shirts, so I figured I would make one for myself and wear it to school. When I did people would stop me and say What a cool shirt, where did you get it? and I just told them I made it myself. Thus, a business was born. Hey wait, (hands me another picture) here ' s me and J. Bennet Johnston! I used to work for him in D.C. GUMBO: Did you send him an Eggies shirt? JOHN: Yeah. I think I did! (Grabs yet another photo) Here ' s me riding between two cars in D.C. That ' s when I lived in a sort of Bangladesh commune with these girls. That ' s another story, though. GUMBO: Scary. How did you get a job with J. Bennet John- ston? JOHN: Well, I sent him dirty let- ters for a long time. About gun control, stuff like that. (He gazes up at the several items of mounted wildlife adorning his walls.) I guess I made an im- pression. (At this point, John once again dips into his seemningly bottom- less pit of polaroids and produces another snapshot.) JOHN: Here ' s me in Wyoming when I was on my cross-country motorcycle ride last spring. That was really fun. 1 had been work- ing on my Eggies about 60 hours a week and had scheduled 21 hours of school , so before I sold the business my schedule was pretty socked in. So after I sold Eggies 1 decided just to get casual for a few weeks and see this bountiful land of ours. GUMBO: Gee, John, I really hate to digress, but in spite of these adventerous little tangents you sometimes find yourself on, you still basically want to one day have a stable, sensible, source of employment, right? JOHN: Stable, sensible, em- ployment may be pushing it just a bit. Eve had those kind of jobs for as long as I can remember. Filthy rich is perhaps a better term. For damn sure I am going to be filthy rich one day. I have a lotta fun, sur e. I make money AND have a good time. The two don ' t have to be mutually exclu- sive. GUMBO: That ' s a pretty healthy attitude. It seems that most kids today either want to be extremely dull and major in accounting or they are going to be dirt poor, weave their own clothes and spin Grateful Dead records the rest of their life. JOHN: Yeah, you have to have a happy medium. GUMBO: One thing I am curious about though. John. After all of these great opportunities you ' ve had in your life and the things you ' ve done, why do you always end up here, at LSU? JOHN: Well, LSU in general is a good place to learn things. On one hand you have professors here who don ' t know their butt from a hole in the ground, and on the other, you have some who are really on top of things. It ' s a place of healthy extremes. I ' m not going to be in school all of my life but I am going to go through and pick up some usable know- ledge. LSU is more than just a school in Louisiana, it ' s also a breeding ground for our future political and business leaders. I personally feel I should give back to the state as much as I can. GUMBO: Good show, John. One last thing, though. What ' s the blowtorch for? JOHN: Barbeque, man, bar- beque.

Unfortunate- ly, the tape was stolen along with other assorted items from the Gumbo office, and so another in- terview was required. Presented below is No. 2 with the senior in pre-law and one-time snow skiing instructor, conducted in an empty classroom in Coates Hall. GUMBO: How did you get in- volved with Wheel of the Tiger ? MIKE: This summer I was approached by Rene Nesbitt, the director of housing, and she first asked me if I would audition for the show. When I first heard of the idea, actually I couldn ' t stop laughing because it seemed kind of corny, and it kind of is. But I thought, what the heck. So when I went back to the committee meeting two weeks later — this committee was a group of ten people in Residential Housing and the TV department, who thought of the idea and who worked all the quirks out — and they notified me at that point that there was no audition, that they wanted me to do it... I decided then to do it. Still, for a couple of weeks. . .1 couldn ' t stop laughing. I ' d watch the show and I don ' t really respect Pat Sajak. But then after that the rest was history. We judged the Vanna White contest, and ever since then I ' ve been a part of it. GUMBO: How have you handled the fame of being a campus celebrity ' . ' MIKE: It was after the first show- ... Thursday night, you know we taped in advance.. . after the first Thursday, after it played, I went out that night and got in about 10:00, 10:30. There were two or three obscene phone calls from dramatis pctsonae girls. One girl was singing — what ' s that George Michael song. I Want Your Sex ? — she was singing the part which is pretty crude. And just a couple of crude phone calls, and a couple of weeks after that I got a lot of goofy, drunk, giggly girls call- ing. A lot of people in the quad — this was at first, the first two, three weeks — a lot of people in the quad would walk by and go, Hey. Pat! just to let me know thev knew who I was. But. after the first month it was not bad, it died down or else I could handle it better. At first I didn ' t handle it well because everywhere I went I couldn ' t escape it. I got tired of talking about it. and I didn ' t think it was that big of a deal to start with, but I got tired of talking about it, I got real tired of being called Pat. After the first month I think it got a lot better... the newness of the show was worn off, and I ' m sure I was handling myself a little better. But first. I didn ' t go out much because I was busy with school, busy with work and 1 didn ' t want to go out and people I don ' t even know — several people, I ' d meet people through friends and they ' d say, I recognize you. Where have I seen you before? I wasn ' t going to say anything, but then my friend would say. Oh. you saw him on ' Wheel of the Tiger ' They ' d laugh, Yeah, that ' s where I ' d seen you! So after the first month I handled it well. GUMBO: What was something humorous that occurred during the taping? MIKE: First of all. I don ' t make the show. Sharon doesn ' t make the show, the contestants make the show. If we ' ve got some sharp, witty contestants, it ' s going to be a good show. I think that if you ' ve watched any of the shows you can tell that. The Blake (dorm) show was especial- ly good because they had three real sharp girls on there. At one point when we took a break, we came back on after a commercial, and at the countdown this girl put my fish tie in her mouth. As soon as we went live, it shows her eat- ing my fish tie. And that was pretty funny. Another time that will show you an example of when you don ' t have three witty people on the show was the Hatcher show, (laughing) These guys must have been stoned. Pic- ture the board. It was a place on LSU Campus. It was P — R — D E GROUNDS. I mean anyone who ' s been on campus knows that. Well, the guy bought a vowel and he bought an I . That was a funny one. We couldn ' t stop laughing about that. All through the show there were little funnies that kept us going, but those were some ma- jor ones. 151 ■ T c rs Gonzalez, Mario M — Puerto Rico Gonzalez, M igdonio- Alto Guayabo-Chiriqui, Panama Gordon, Jacquelyn M. — Mark- Gordon, Rodger F -Baton Rouge Grabert, Marc A. — New Iberia Grace, John M — Baton Rouge Graham, Moira E — Vidalia Grass, Gwen P. — Baton Rouge Graves, Edward J. — Covington Grenkevich, David A. — Alexan- dria Guillot, Randy P — Hessmer Guimbeau, Bertrand F — Mauri- tius Island Guimbeau, Marie-Laure — Mauritius Island Guzman, Javier M. — West Palm Beach, Fla.

In a year of reform, the senior from New Orleans lead the way; in doing so, he earned the title of nonconformist, but at the same time, he proved he was a man of his word. Copy Editor David Grenkevich spoke with Tullis at the SGA office, to learn more about this highly outspoken individual. GUMBO: What made you want to become invovled in the SGA? TULLIS: I transfered originally here from UNO, and pretty much when I transferred here, that ' s what I wanted to do: I wanted to be SGA President. Everything I did for three years was planned towards that... When I came here I saw very much that I wanted to do it lor the simple reason that I want to be a polititian. I want to do it the rest of my life. It ' s good practice to begin with the election process and things in your forma- tive school years. So it was very important for me to get a head start by getting involved with this, and plus LSU has a strong legacy of SGA involvement: Senator Russell Long was SGA President, Congressman Gi I lis Long was SGA President, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Joe Sands was SGA President here... there ' s a long list of peo- ple. The only thing is if you want to make it in Louisiana politics go through LSU SGA. This was something very important to me. and it was something I planned out from the first day I got here — something I definitely wanted to do. I transferred to LSU for two reasons: one, you had a daily newspaper, and two. because you had a great SGA GUMBO: You ' ve been quoted as calling yourself the worst assembly member ever. Why is that. ' TULLIS: I probably was. for the simple reason that I never passed anything. I wasn ' t a good legisla- tor. I wouldn ' t waste my time with most normal debate. If I didn ' t think my side had a chance of winning — which it never did — I wouldn ' t speak on it: I would just sit on the side and listen. My own personal beliefs were I didn ' t tie up the floor. The leg- islation I introduced, not one piece was passed, because it was all too controversial. It had to do with fiscal reform — cutting the budget, cutting salaries, things that since I ' ve been here (as pres- ident) I ' ve been able to imple- ment. No, I was a bad legislator. I ' m not a very compromising fel- low. I don ' t cut deals; I don ' t give things up. When I stick to a prin- ciple I generally stick to it. Now. I ' m not anymore. I was more like that as a legislator than I am now. Now, the office has shaped me because it ' s too big and too much responsibility to sit up there and use your own personal theory all the time. Because you can ' t — you ' re a department head, you ' re financially responsible for the whole operation... GUMBO: Admitting that you ifc f -Tci . ■ sa£. B; IS - ■ ' . ■ ■ rf-% it, Hf V. ' .- • ) ? have all this responsibility, why do you not think you should be paid a salary. TULLIS: For the simple reason I don ' t think that it ' s necessary. I don ' t think public servants at the college level should be paid. Now I will admit that I do put a lot of work in it. perhaps more work than any president in recent time. But that ' s my own doing. Some presidents can come and get away with doing six or seven hours of work a week, where as I do an average of probably about 15 a day. It ' s all up to the indi- vidual person. I took the respon- sibility that I wanted to sit up there and do with out pay. It ' s true I wish I had the money — it ' s a lot of money. I need new clothes. I could buy a car... but that was a problem that most of the people that got the money be- fore me just threw it away .. .they were wealthy enough, from what I understand, to be able to sit up there and spend the money on extracurricular activities. In other words, if it went directly to your scholarship, that would be a different story. If they wanted to change from a salary to giving the SGA president a scholarship, fine. Right now they get both. I turned down the scholarship, too. . . I turned both of them down. I decided that there were a lot better students, more needy peo- ple than me to get a scholarship. With the salary. I aways felt all along that it was an overpaid position. . .The position has enough perks in it not to be paid. The worth of the position itself at what you learn is more than any amount they can ever pay you. I don ' t regret doing it at all. If I ran again for re-election I ' d promise the same thing, and I don ' t think it ' s an empty promise. If you make a promise you should keep it. I don ' t think that they should get paid, at least not the amount that they get right now. (50 .fl Marquez, Penny Yvetle — Nev Orleans Martin.

The following is their conversa- tion, covering such diverse topics as classified ads, Angel Right and exactly why she is being pro- filed in the first place. GUMBO: What were your reasons for taking the position of classified ads manager? JENNIFER: Well, I started working at the Reveille when I was a freshman, as a typesetter, and this is where I ' ve kind of worked my way up to... a man- agerial position. It ' s been good experience working with people. GUMBO: What classification are you now? JENNIFER: I ' m a junior. In advertising. GUMBO: Do you ever receive any unusual ads at the Reveille? JENNIFER: We have gotten some pretty weird ones. People looking for mates, and trying to adopt kids. GUMBO: Are you ever forced to censor ads because of the mate- rial? JENNIFER: Well, we don ' t like to call it censorship, but we do have to edit them because the University has certain restric- tions, and Student Media has cer- tain restrictions as far as language and identifying people by their full name, because we don ' t want to embarrass them. GUMBO: What career would you like to pursue? JENNIFER: I ' d like to work in my field, and that ' s difficult be- cause advertising is so competi- tive. I ' d like to start out as a copy writer, and work my way into public relations. Eventually I ' d really like to start my own busi- ness. GUMBO: What other things have you done that would be in- teresting? JENNIFER: Like outside of this? dramatis personac GUMBO: Yes. I was never really told why you were to be inter- viewed. JENNIFER: Well, I ' ll tell you why. ..I saw the ads that he (Gumbo editor-in-chief David Hawkins) put in the Reveille (looking for campus personali- ties) and I thought he was joking around. So I went in there and I jokingly made some comment about how he should interview me. He said, Yeah, I think we should. GUMBO: Are you in any other organizations? JENNIFER: Yeah. Well, I ' m in my professional society, AAF. GUMBO: AAF? JENNIFER: American Advertis- ing Fed. I ' m in Gamma Beta Phi, and I ' m commander of Angel Right. I do a lot of work with that. I ' ve been in that for a couple years. Between working here and going to school, that ' s about all I can handle. GUMBO: What are your duties in Angel Right? JENNIFER: I guess being presi- dent I have to delegate a lot of responsibilities. I ' m not in ROTC or anything, but I do things with ROTC, like I brief different officials that come to the campus about what we do on campus. It ' s a lot of service work and we ' re also social. I have to deal with people often that want us to do projects within the Baton Rouge community. I do a lot of PR. GUMBO: You have groups come to Angel Right asking for help, or do you choose service work on your own.? JENNIFER: It ' s a little bit of both, but often times they come to us because we ' re a pretty well reknown group in the commun- ity. A lot of the women ' s groups in town will ask our help: the March of Dimes Mothers, the Quota Club, United Way. GUMBO: What is Gamma Beta Phi? JENNIFER: Gamma Beta Phi is an honor society. GUMBO: That ' s for scholastic achievement? JENNIFER: Yes. GUMBO: In all fields, or just advertising? JENNIFER: All fields. GUMBO: It ' s based on GPA? JENNIFER: I was chosen — that was freshman year — and it was top ten percent of the freshman class. And so you ' re in it so long as you maintain your grades. GUMBO: Which is? JENNIFER: (laughing) What, I have to give my cume? GUMBO: No. Over three? JENNIFER: (reluctantly) Three. GUMBO: Okay. In advertising, you ' re actually majoring in jour- nalism? JENNIFER: I ' m in journalism, in advertising. GUMBO: Have you taken any business courses too, such as marketing? JENNIFER: Yeah, I am. I ' m tak- ing marketing, I ' m taking accounting, economics. That ' s the really good thing about the journalism school is that it inter- grates a lot of courses from a lot of different majors. I ' ve enjoyed being a journalism major because it ' s focused, but it ' s not totally focused on learning only one thing. I ' ve gotten to take litera- ture courses, business course, art courses... I feel like I ' ve gotten a more well rounded education in this major. m f Seniors Serpas, Dorolhee Lelia — Marrrro Seymour. Kim D — Baker Shah.

SHARON: I ' ve had Id years of ballet and about 9 years of jazz, so I have a little bit of both I was in The Nutcracker ever) year. I was the Snow Queen For three years. GUMBO: Were you on the dance line of your high school? SHARON: Well, we didn ' t have a dance line, so I was cheer- leader. GUMBO: Were there any parti- cularly memorable moments that stood out in your dancing career? SHARON: We performed at the World ' s lair, that was pretty in- teresting. I was pretty excited when I made Golden Girls GUMBO: What made you want to join the Golden Girls? , SHARON: Because if we would [ have a dance team at my high school I would have definitely wanted to be in it. I ' ve always wanted to be in a dance team, just never have, so I just decided to try out My first year I didn ' t imake it. so I was determined the second year. I took a few classes at LSU. some dance classes My main problem was my memory : I couldn ' t remember — they teach you a dance at try outs and you ' re dramatis pecsonae supposed to remember and do it by yourself in front of the judges. And I had a memory problem so I worked on it. and now I can re- member things real well. So this is my third year. GUMBO: Are you going to go out for Golden Girls this spring ' . 1 SHARON: Yes. And we ' re danc- ing at the basketball games this spring. GUMBO: Being very visible at the games, during the halftime and the pre-game shows, do you ever have people come up to you on the street and recognize you as a Golden Girl? SHARON: Oh yeah. Both guys and girls. They come up to me and sav aren ' t you a Golden Girl ' . ' They usually comment on the show. GUMBO: How did you take the criticism that was just published m the Reveille. ' tin a letter to the editor.) SHARON: I don ' t know I was upset at first, but then I just real- ized that it was just one person ' s opinion and that everybody is going to have their own opinion. We can ' t please everybody. I was just kind ol disappointed that he- had to print that in the paper It hurt me at first, but I realized that it was just one person, and prob- ably a few others that didn ' t have the nerve to put it in there. He was wrong about alot of things. Like all of us being sorortiy girls — there ' s live out of 15. GUMBO: So far this season there ' s been lour home games. Which routine have you liked the best. SHARON: The one to the stu- dent ' s section. (LSf vs. Ken- tucky) GUMBO: In a pattern such as the train (at the Kentucky game), do you perform a particular part of the train, or do you just dance along with it ' . ' SHARON: We march with the band. too. but we didn ' t have too much to do with that. We just marched down the field. But we didn ' t dance or anything like that. GUMBO: How has being a Gol- den Girl affected your social life? SHARON: Well, we practice on Tuesday night, and I used to like to go out on that night. There ' s alot ol times when I need to study, and there ' s so much prac- tice sometimes 1 can ' t go out be- cause I need to do my homework. GUMBO: What ' s the hardest thing about being a Golden Girl? SHARON ' Well, we have to get the dances, so that we ' re all ex- actly together, and 1 guess tin ' s the hardest thing — not being too quick or loo slow. Ami it ' s also hard trying to learn them real last and get it perfected lor the next game. Even two weeks isn ' t a lot of time to get it all together GUMBO: How much do you practice? SHARON: It ' s usually an hour before the band practices on Wednesday and Friday, and on Tuesday we practice from 6:30 to 9:30. That ' s when we learn the dances, usually. We get the music Tuesday and make it up for either that week or the following week. But sometimes its hard be- cause they ' ll give us a recording that ' s real slow and then we ' ll make up a dance to hi the slow version and then we ' ll go to prac- tice and they play it twice as fast. It ' s hard when you have to change things, and try to pick he pace up a little bit GUMBO: What special occa- sions do the Golden Girls dance at ' . ' SHARON: Actually we ' re not allowed to dance for anything that the band doesn ' t attend. Well, it just so happens that bas- ketball is an exception, because we get to use our own music. That ' s the first time — it ' s going to be so much fun because that ' s the first time we ever danced, with anything other than the band. We get to pick our own music, which is great because sometimes I don ' t particularly care for the music we dance to. We were in a competition last year, though. We sent in a video tape. And that was another ex- ception because we got to pick our own music and we ended up setting tenth (in the country.) 149 Juniors Duhon, Michael C — Lafayette East, Pamela L — Baton Rouge Ebarb, Stephani E — Many Edwards, Anne L. — New Orleans Ehrlicher, Matthew A — Arabi Elliott, Jerry V. — Prairicville Ellis, Cynthia L. — New Orleans Engelsman, Gregory — Baker Escude ' , Jody M. — Mansura Eubanks, Jessica T. — Baton Rouge Faisal, Abu Bakar N — Malaysia Falgoust, Ginger M. — New Orleans Fargason, David P — Baton Rouge Ferrus, Antonio — Guatemala City Fetzer, Lisa M. — Coral Springs, Fla.

This Monroe- bred Architecture major seems at an initial glance to be just the sort of individual who would consider 7000 cubic gallons of fermented barley and an exhaustive supply of ZZ Top tapes to be the height of cultural nirvana. Although it is true that perhaps Mr. Davis (or any of us, for that matter) would indeed find such a scenario rather inviting, beneath his calm, ortho- dox exterior lies a virtual plumb- shaft of disturbing creative ten- sion. No, Jay isn ' t one of those fashionably pained artistes who lolls around in a filthy uptown loft and occasionally turns to gnawing shards of glass to obtain the correct inspirational de- meanor, he is instead simply a insightfully talented young man who has an intriguing yen for illustrating the distorted. Despite their perhaps surreal nature, an y- one who has ever viewed any of Jay ' s distended and very often multi-nippled works knows that they have a unique quality that deserves to be harped upon. Since we here at the Gumbo feel that unsolicited publicity is perhaps our divine calling, we felt that a hard-hitting, gut- wrenching, oh-so-revealing in- terview with Jay was indeed cal- led for. But then again, that would be incredibly corny. So we instead decided to simply talk to him. GUMBO: Jay, all serious artists and even classroom doodlers have artistic roots somewhere in their past. What were some of your first artistic endeavors? JAY: Ummmm. well I do re- member drawing naked people in dramatis personae about first grade, but 1 think that was more developmental than artistic. Besides, 1 got in trouble. GUMBO: Yeah, didn ' t we all. Anything else? JAY: Lemme see. Yeah, car wrecks! Lots of car wrecks. Man- gled fenders, stuff like that. Also a lot of dragons. Dragons are fun to draw. I still draw a huge amount of dragons, it ' s ther- apeutic. GUMBO: Not to mention Freu- dian. So Jay, were these first works of art what eventually led you into your present artistic state of mind ' . ' JAY: No. not really. The surreal always did intrest and amuse me, but as an artist a had always been a strict realist. I simply thought that was how things should be presented. GUMBO: When did you begin to allow your talents to ummm... wander? JAY: One of my design instruc- tors here at LSU, a man by the name of Ed Prannick, recognized my talent and proceeded to open my mind up to the world of dis- tortion. He sort of made drawing distended, demonic she-hags and melting faces a FUN thing to do. It ' s really fun to take mundane, everyday objects and distort them in every way imaginable. GUMBO: Oh yeah, being a wri- ter myself I know exactly what you mean! Anyway, your de- clared major is Architecture and despite your various creative de- viances, seems to be the vocation you wish to make your own. Do you plan to integrate any of your abstract vision into your architecture, or do you simply want to design functional build- ings you will be well paid for? JAY: Although recieving sub- stantial financial compensation is definitely on my mind, 1 believe one can be a useful architect and extremely creative at the same time. Even buildings can be dis- torted in ways that make them more interesting and noticeable. Every building 1 design will basi- cally be a cool piece of art. GUMBO: That is indeed a worthy ambition. But tell us, ex- actly what is your ultimate goal in life, besides designing buildings you can frame? JAY: To be utterly, absolutely, unexcuseably FAMOUS. J. Steve Zaffuto 154 J.

Her first semester here she auditioned for Three Men on a Horse, and won the role of the Hotel Maid. She also joined the Col- lege Republicans, shortly which she was elected to the board. Copy Editor David Grenkevich talked with Denise at her tempor- ary residence, Blake Dorm. This 18-year-old is originally from Arkansas, but now calls Delhi, La. her home town. Her junior and senior years were spent at the Louisiana School for Math, Sci- ence and the Arts in Natch- itoches. GUMBO: What ' s the most im- portant thing in your life right now? DENESE: Balancing a social life with the academics. GUMBO: Tell me about your in- volvement with the College Re- publicans. DENESE: At registration they had all these little tables set up and I got a flyer that had the meet- ing dates. I stuck it on my door, when the first one that came around, I went. I knew I wanted to get involved with that, I hadn ' t been able to in high school... The night they were taking nomina- tions for general board member — member at large — somebody turned around and said, Would you like to nominated, would you mind? and I said, No, not at all, and they did. The night they gave their speeches and voted was dress rehearsal for us {Three Men on a Horse), the night be- fore we went on. I had stage makeup on; I had a girl pick me up at the theatre and drive out Denese Merritt dramatis pevsonae there and wait in front of the Un- ion with the car running. I ran in, gave my speech and then ran out. After I ran out, I ran back in and said, Oh yeah, can I vote? GUMBO: Did you have your costume on, too? DENESE: No, we weren ' t allowed to leave in our costumes — I had a little maid costume — I had a flag skirt. It ' s a skirt my grandmother made me out of two hankerchiefs, and it ' s got I Love America. Pretty cornball. but I didn ' t want to go around shaking hands, so that was the gimick I used. I guess red, white and blue that day, just look like a walking patriot or something. GUMBO: So why Republicans? DENESE: I ' ve never called my- self a Republican or Democrat or party, but I am basically con- servative in what I would like to see for the country. GUMBO: What does your work on the board consist of? DENESE: Mostly I represent the T new members... I ' ve done the same thing as the other members of the board and of the club, ami working phone banks for local candidates and handing out flyers. Mostly it ' s been vocal in what I ' ve done, just talking to people, encouraging them to go, tell them it has a lot to offer. GUMBO: Are you involved in any other organizations here on campus? DENESE: I ' m wing-rep, in house council here at Blake. We really actively meet every Tues- day night, it usually lasts for ab- out an hour and a half. We ' ve gotten a lot of things done. I think the RHA is more active than the SGA, to be honest. We actually get things done. Personally, in addition to representing a resi- dent hall, I organized a Willy Wonka movie party. ..another thing that I ' ve done, I was co- chairman for Fall Fever that was held over in Evangeline Horseshoe. We had something that was very unique, we had a pamper parlor. What this was, we tried to figure out a way to raise money and also have fun. 1 thought a service oriented booth would be more profitable than some where you ' d have to make a lot of investments, like hot dogs, or something like that. So we kind of played around with that. When I suggested massage... it was chaos for a little bit, and then they admitted that they liked it, only we didn ' t like the connota- tions of massage parlor so we cal- led it a pamper parlor. 159 Juniors — Toye, Sean Louis — Metairie Trahan, Timothy D —Lake Arthur Trahan.

Perhaps an even smaller number is those who enter LSU before graduating from high school. Seventeen- year-old Juliette Clark is one of those. Copy Editor David Grenk- evich spoke with this early admission; their conversation is recreated here. GUMBO: Tell me about the high school you attended (the Louisiana School for Math, Sci- ence and Arts). JULIETTE: For the Lousiana School you had to take alot of test and interviews... to get in... It ' s good preparation for college in that you ' re living away from home and you have to do your laundry and you have to keep up with your classes. You have to tell yourself to do everything; you don ' t have your mom and your dad standing there telling you what to do. But, I didn ' t real- ly like it, because it was so strict and... I didn ' t like a lot of the administrators. So I decided to go ahead and come here rather than go back to my old high school. GUMBO: How was it that you dramatis persona M 3y _ could enter college before gra- duating from high school? JULIETTE: The policy here is that you have to have, I believe, four Englishes to get in. I had all my Englishes and I had a high enough score on the ACT — well, I didn ' t really get in on my ACT though, because I hadn ' t gotten it back. I got in on my tenth grade SAT scores. That ' s basically how I ' m here before finishing high school. GUMBO: So do you have a high school diploma? JULIETTE: I have no diploma. I ' m a high school drop out, tech- nically. GUMBO: In what ways was the Louisiana School strict? JULIETTE: It was strict curfew wise, what you could do, what you couldn ' t do. It was like they were trying to keep everybody ' s parents happy and so they had to keep people who were really strict happy. . .they had some stu- pid rules. GUMBO: What did your parents think about your coming here rather than going back to high school? JULIETTE: Oh, my mother was pushing for this. I mean she was pushing for this all the way. She started telling me, Oh, if you ' re not happy there, why don ' t you go to LSU next year? And I go, Well, I don ' t know, can I do that? I kind of thought about staying at the Louisiana School, but I was really unhappy there, and I didn ' t want to go back to public high school in Gretna so I went ahead and decided this was the best choice. GUMBO: How do you like the freedom you ' ve found in col- lege? JULIETTE: It ' s great! I like it so v much!...I get to do more things than if I lived at home. I ' m even doing better a lot better grade wise than at Louisiana School and it ' s not because Louisiana School was harder but it was be- cause it was kind of an oppressive atmosphere. And I ' m happy and so I ' m able to do better. GUMBO: How do you do with- out someone looking over your shoulder? JULIETTE: I ' ve had my days that I ' ve been late to class, and a couple times I ' ve missed class. I suppose that if my mother was over here I would be going to class on the dot every single time. I would have everything done. I would probably have my home- work done the night after I went to class. juniors: QVilliams-Qloes 101 Sophomores Agurllard.

But final- ly, just after the Tigers wrapped up a 9- 1 - 1 regular season. Sports Information came through, and the Gumbo is able to present the thoughts and words of the sopho- more from Matthews, La. GUMBO: Tell me about your re- cruitment, say, as opposed to a highly recruited player such as Harvey Williams. TOM: Well , I don ' t think I was as highly recruited as Harvey and a couple other guys, but I was pret- ty highly recruited. Stanford, LSU, Tulane, Michigan — they recruited me, but I pretty much decided I was coming to LSU, I guess during my senior year. I knew where 1 was coming, I just wanted to make sure. This is the place for me. I never regretted coming here and I ' m glad I ' m here. GUMBO: Tell me about working under Archer as opposed to working under Arnsparger as head coaches. TOM: Well, it ' s been pretty much the same, I guess, because I ' ve had the same coach. Coach Zaunbrecher is the quarterback coach and he was here under both staffs. It ' s the same for me. I ' ve become more involved in the team, I think. I ' m getting older now, and I think it ' s easier for the younger guys to relate to Coach Archer because he ' s not that much older than us. I think he can relate to our problems and things we just want to talk about... GUMBO: Think back to the game you first started (against Texas A M, 1986), describe your feelings at the time. TOM: I was really nervous. I re- dramatis petsonae member getting off the bus and coming into the stadium. I never had a feeling like that before — that much nervousness. It carried on for a while on the field, until like the second series when I finally completed a pass and it just felt like I was playing foot- ball again, playing in high school again. The competition level is much higher, and the players are a lot better on the college level, but things just started clicking, and instinct kind of takes over and you just go with the flow. GUMBO: Were you aware yoi . photo would be run on the covers of some sports magazines (such as The Sporting News)? TOM: It was a surprise to me and to my family. I think everyone was really excited about it. It was a real great honor for me. GUMBO: Regardless of winning or losing the SEC title, which bowl would you have prefered to play in, given the choice? TOM: Well, the Sugar Bowl is always nice because that means we won the conference and prob- ably be highly ranked. ..The Orange Bowl would be nice to go back to. I ' ve heard a lot about the Orange Bowl, it ' s supposed to be one of the better ones. I ' m not real picky, I like to play a good team in a bowl. GUMBO: What are your feelings on college players getting paid? TOM: I kind of have mixed feel- ings. I think it ' d be nice to have some spending money, because we can ' t work during the year. I know a lot of players that don ' t have money, and don ' t come from families that have a lot of money. So they have to work in the summer... to make whatever they ' re going to spend. But then again I think it may get out of control, and some college ' s may pay more than others. Then you get under-the-table money. It could get out of hand, and I can see that too, so I kind of have mixed feelings on that issue. GUMBO: How has the fame of being an LSU celebrity affected your life? TOM: Well, I think it ' s made me a more outgoing person... to be able to speak to people and just talk to them. Because people want to talk to me, and I don ' t want to be rude or give that im- pression, so I try to... communi- cate with other people. GUMBO: How do you think peo- ple see you as an individual, aside from football? TOM: It ' s hard for just the aver- age person that doesn ' t know me to separate the football player from the person, but people that know me — my friends — I think we get along well and I like just about everybody. I think I get along well with most of my team- mates and friends and family... GUMBO: What interests do you have besides footbal l? TOM: I like to play basketball, and I ' m just starting to get into hunting and fishing. I never was much of a fisher or a hunter. I know that seems odd, for being from where I ' m from, but I ' m starting to get into that because a lot of guys on the team do that, and it ' s something to do when we ' re not playing football. GUMBO: Tell me about your academic goals. TOM: (laughing) I ' d like to graduate from LSU someday. It may take me awhile, five years I guess... I ' m going into more of a sports curriculum. I ' d like to be a coach someday, hopefully on a college level. GUMBO: What are your plans after LSU? TOM: I ' d love to keep playing and play in the NFL, but if that doesn ' t work out — injuries or if I ' m not good enough — I ' ll have something to fall back on. A de- gree from LSU will help me get a job and hopefully I can stay in the football area, coaching prefer- ably. GUMBO: So, tell me about dat- ing. Do you get many dates? TOM: (smiling broadly) I ' ve had some dates. I know quite a few people and I meet a lot of people. Being a football player and being a quarterback, I guess, helps me meet a lot of girls. I date — I do date, (laughing) GUMBO: I guess time could be a problem. TOM: During the season it ' s kind of tough. I don ' t go out much on weekdays.

She was selected as the 50th Anniversary Rice Festival Queen. The festival, though held in Crowley, La., is international in its theme. Copy Editor David Grenkevich talked with the Arnaudville native and disco- vered just what her title entails. GUMBO:Tell me about the Rice Festival ' s pageant. TONYA: There were girls from all over the United States that competed in it, since it is interna- tional. It ' s the type of beauty pageant where you have an inter- view and you go through a ques- tion on stage. They do it on poise and an evening gown... I was crowned the 50th queen, which is the Golden. Since I was their Golden I went to San Diego, Ca. for their Rice Millers Associaion meeting. I went to Lousiana ' s Mardi Gras Ball which is held in Washington, D.C. There they had about 175 queens that did participate, and the political peo- ple that were running for gov- enor. I met President Reagan, we visited the White House, and the Lincoln Memorial... They had Mardi Gras balls that you did attend and I did participate in. I went to Texas for the Texas Rice Festival which was in October. While I was in San Diego I was offered two jobs. One in the Carribeans in public relations, and the other one was in Turkey as a model . I am going to Turkey but I won ' t be taking the job. I ' m just going for a visit , and they pay my way and my family, my room and all my expenses... dramatis petsonae f y I f n i GUMBO: When did all this start? TONYA: October of last year (1986). GUMBO: The First pageant you were in was in Crowley, and ev- erything followed your winning that? TONYA: Yeah, these were my trips they awarded me with. Those were the out-of-state trips. Every weekend — I couldn ' t go to the football games — I traveled in Louisiana to various festivals for the whole weekend just representing my festival. GUMBO: How did you get started in beauty pageants? TONYA: I ' ve been in pageants since I was five. The biggest pageant I was in was Miss Louisiana Teen. I went through that three years in a row, and ev- ery year I placed first runner up. I got out of that because I got sick of just having first. I won a pageant in my town and they rep- resented me at the Rice Festival. I could have picked any festival to attend, but my Momma always liked the Rice, so she sent me there. GUMBO: The job you were offered for public relations, tell me about that. TONYA: It ' s a government job which deals with foreign affair- s...it ' s promoting the rice indus- try to foreign countries. GUMBO: Why did you decline it? TONYA: I declined it because I don ' t want to move out of Louisiana, not unless I desparate- ly have to. The reason I didn ' t take the job in Turkey as a model is because it is communist, and I wouldn ' t want to work in a com- munist place where they have to tell me what to do... GUMBO: Are you involved with anything on campus? TONYA: I didn ' t go through rush. I ' ll be honest and say I don ' t care for sororities... The only thing I ' ve participated here on campus in was the movie that they just Filmed. I ' m a second semester freshman and I kind of just want to learn the ropes for about a year. GUMBO: What did you do in the movie? TONYA: I was in the control group. Extras sit in the stands; the control group cheers on the field. They ' re seen in the film more than the people that sit in the stands... 175 mm MM Sophomores ■ Plauche, Lesley T. — Paulina Poche ' , Robert D. — Shreveport Powell, Gene J. — LaPlace Power, Anne D. — Vidalia Powers, Dana L. — Westlake Presson, Kris K. — Natchitoches Ray, Devin J. — Baton Rouge Reed, Elizabeth — Baton Rouge Reeves, Jennifer L. — Baton Rouge Renlz, Dee Ann — Baton Rouge Reppond, Lisa M — Killeen, Texas Richard, Anthony L. — Metairie Robbins, Kathy — Iota Roberts, Jill — Port Sulphur Robertson, Jeanne L. — Farmer- ville Robinson, Darlene L. — Shreveport Rodrique, Brian A. — Thibodaux Rodriquez, Arnold J. — Baton Rouge Rosenberger, Stacey L. — Metairie Rosales, Marcos V. — El Sal- vador Rube, Stephanie R. — Baton Rouge Ruiz, Charlotte A. — Lacombe Ryder, Tammy A— LaPlace Salard, Brooke W. — Baton Rouge Sanchez, Stephanie D. — Baton Rouge Sanders, Jeanne M. — River Ridge Sanders, Pheobe D. — Pineville Sandoval, Gioconda M. — Mana- qua, Nicaragua 170 Sophomores: fjlauchi — Sandoval Saucier, Brian G. — Vicksburg, Miss.

For those unable to resist the temptation of drugs and alcohol, LSU has 23-year-old Chad Le- jeune. This senior in psychology who hails from Lafayette works in rehabilitation of those afflicted with drug addiction, while still maintaining a GPA of over 3.6. Reporter Christine Boudreaux in- terviewed Chad to find out just what the driving force is. GUMBO: Why did you want to work as a volunteer drug counsel- lor at the Baton Rouge Detox- ification Center? CHAD: I knew that I wanted to work with chemically dependent people because I felt like drug abuse is a major problem, and I wanted to do something about it. Recently I have been conducting the family coping workshops and I run these all by myself — I ' m really proud of that. GUMBO: What were your goals when you got involved with this program? CHAD: As a long-range goal, I just want to have some impact on the problem that substance abuse is. As a short-range goal, just to help individual people. GUMBO: What was one experi- ence or conversation in which you became emotionally in- volved? CHAD: One client came in, a dramatis personae girl, who was a college student so I really saw her as a peer. When she came in she was loaded up with cocaine, so I worked with her for almost 48 hours while she was coming down. She was para- noid, but she trusted me and not any of the other counsellors. I really got attached to her as a person during that 48 hours, but I was off the next day and when I came back for the next shift, she had checked herself out. She had left with this guy that she had met at the Detox Center. One of the clients told me they were going to do cocaine. We never heard from her again; we don ' t know if she ' s dead or alive. GUMBO: From your point of view, what is the leading cause of substance abuse? CHAD: Personally, I feel it ' s re- lated to family background. My father had problems with alco- hol, and he ' s not living any more. I feel like that puts me in a high- risk group. GUMBO: Does knowing what your father experienced make you want to help other people like him? CHAD: Yes, definitely. My dad died real young. I didn ' t really know him, but my mom has tried to make me just the opposite of him. He was a rebel; I ' m very conservative. GUMBO: What was your most rewarding experience? CHAD: One of the most reward- ing things I ' ve done is working at the Family Coping Workshop. The first time I ran a workshop by myself, one of my clients was arguing whether or not it was worth the pain and effort of get- ting off of cocaine. I told him that his whole life could be changed if he got off of the stuff. I got mad and told him just because of your background — don ' t let that tie you down. His mother was there, she said that that was ex- actly what she ' d been saying to him for years. His mom broke down and cried, and for a little while I felt like I was almost a part of the family. GUMBO: Why do you do service work in clubs such as Alpha Phi Omega — for your resume or to help others? CHAD: I do that work because it ' s something I feel like I have to give back to society. I ' ve lived a charmed life... if God ' s going to give me all these blessings, I just can ' t take them and sit back, I have to give something back. GUMBO: What are your goals for the future? CHAD: I ' m trying to skip my master ' s and go right into my Ph.D. program. My long-range goal is to, one day, have a chain of new type of mental hospital. One where the clients are re- sponsible for their own up-keep and learn to cope and interact with other people. ' Gilbert. Karen Rcncc — Delcau ? re Giroir, Jcannic Marie — Baton K 71 Oivens.

Almost immediately LSU ' s defensive coordinator Mike Archer was selected as Arnspar- ger ' s replacement. But not so fast! One member of the LSU Board of Supervisors refused to approve Archer ' s appointment, because she felt it would be un- wise to make such as hasty deci- sion with no other applicants even looked at. So, march in some candidates. Whether they were ever actual choices or if they were just token hopefuls doesn ' t matter, in the end Archer was given the go ahead. Archer had played football for the University of Miami before returning there to work in one capacity or another for various coaches, including the year Miami beat Nebraska for the national title. His last two years spent at Miami with none other Coach Archer confers with linebacker Nicky Hazard and an assistant coach. than Bill Arnsparger. When Arnsparger came to LSU to serve as the oldest head coach in Division 1-A football. Archer came with him. When Arnsparger left for Flor- ida, Archer became the youngest head coach in Division 1-A foot- ball. While taking up where his predecessor left off. Archer added some touches of his own, including longer practices, more hitting and inc reased body building. Apparently it has paid off. The Tigers have gone through the 1987 season sometimes up, sometimes down, but almost al- ways winners. David Grenkevich When named.

The offense showed no effort in scoring touchdowns on its first seven possessions, and the de- fense showed little effort in stop- ping the Titans until they were in field-goal range. Perhaps I ' m being a little hard on the defense, but the second half of the game showed what they are really capable of doing. All in all the game was rather dull. Big plays came all too often and all too quick on th offensive side of LSU, and defensively, the Titans only turned the ball over once. The final score of 56-12 is of course nothing to cry about, but 1 think one fan 1 heard summed it up well: We want a hundred! The reason we didn ' t get to a hundred points was that the LSU defense allowed the Cal State offense to stay on the field too long-34 minutes to LSU ' s 25.

Ohio State Try this tie on for size T. he last game in September ' 87 was expected to be a tough one. Number four LSU was pit- ted against the seventh-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes in the first CBS broadcast from Tiger Sta- dium in many years. The Tiger roared, and roared loudly, as the Ohio State quarter- back was forced to wait until the crowd ' s cheering subsided be- fore he could call for the snap. The Buckeyes ' first drive went nowhere, and they were forced to punt. The LSU offense, under the guiding finger of Tom Hodson, marched down the field and into the end zone. Hodson scrambled around in the backfield, pointing into the secondary, then hurling the ball to Roggie Magee. A play later, Mr. Magee made the Ti- gers ' first and only touchdown of the game. LSU ' s defense was stingy. Clint James (70) and Ron Sancho(52) put the heat on Ohio State Quaternaek Tom Tupa. 1 Wide receiver Rogie Magee celebrates ' ' he Tigers ' only touchdown versus the allowing only three points in the first haJf, then another field goal, before the Buckeyes finally manuevered down the field for their only touchdown of the game. It was a game of field goals, a game LSU has seen in the past, only this time the Tiger kicker prevailed, with David Brown- dyke 2 for 2. The Buckeye ' s kicker wasn ' t as fortunate. With only five seconds in the game and aiming for the win, the Buckeye had his kick partially blocked by LSU defensive end Karl Dunbar, ending the game in a disappoint- ing yet relieving tie at 13 points. Although a tie with Ohio State won ' t fare well for LSU ' s nation- al ranking, it actually shows just how good a team LSU has. Admittedly, the Tiger offense committed too many mistakes — mistakes which cost LSU the win. However, despite the mis- takes, the Tiger defense was tough and did its best in saving a loss. While a tie is nothing to be happy about, it is better than losing. David Grenkevich £ l vs. 01 Tigers Find RICE Easy to Swallow T he tempo for the LSU-Rice game was set with the very first play.

Number 7 LSU took on No. 15 Georgia between the hedges in Athens, Georgia on October 10, and brought back to Baton Rouge win number five. The first half was highlighted by a tough LSU defense, giving up only 3 points. David Brown- dyke first tied the score for LSU, then Tony Moss hauled in a Mickey Guidry pass, did some quick manuevers, and went in for the TD. Browndyke tacked on two more field goals to give LSU a 16-3 lead at the half. The second half of the ESPN- broadcast game saw a great com- eback by Georgia, some big plays, but eventually, a desperate LSU team hang on for the win. Georgia ' s comeback started on the first drive for LSU. Harvey Williams, who ' s had more than his share of turnovers, had the ball literally knocked from his hands. Georgia recovered at the LSU 33, setting up their first touchdown of the game. Later, on another Georgia possession, came the most exciting play of the game. Georgia pulled a trick out of its bag. It was a reverse, no a flea flicker, no a 48-yard pass for a TD, no it was dropped. Obviously, no words can de- Harvey Williams has the ball knocked from his hands, setting up a Georgia touchdown. scribe the play which seemed to work so perfectly, except that ultimately the ball was dropped. The fourth quarter saw the most total scoring of the contest. Sammy Martin made some im- pressive runs in LSU ' s first scor- ing drive, but the Tigers had to settle for 3 points. Next, a inter- cepted Hodson pass gave the Bulldogs the ball on LSU ' s 17- yard line, setting up another Georgia score, and giving the Dawgs the lead, 23-19. Never say die could very well be the Tigers ' s motto. Hod- son began to drive his offense to win the game when he was hit — and hit hard — out of bounds. The penalty incured gave LSU a first down. Guidry came in for two drives before the never- shaken Hodson was back to com- plete the drive for another seven points. Georgia wasn ' t about to give up easily, though. The Bulldogs started back down the field after the kickoff and had gotten all the way to the LSU 28, close enough for at least a field goal and a tie game. Kevin Guidry, though, was in the right place at the right time to snatch up a tipped pass, ending the Georgia drive for good. Final score, LSU 26, Georgia 23. David Grenkevich £SU a 211 Tigers Claw the Wildcats into Submission c ' ould they do it? Could the as yet unbeaten Tigers stay up for their third SEC game? And could LSU play well enough during the day at home to actually win a game? The answer to all the above questions, is, of course. YES! Number 6 LSU marched down the field on its first possession to open the scoring, then after the defense caused a Wildcat fumble near their own goal, took the ball in for another TD. Though the defense prevented Kentucky from crossing the Tigers ' goal line, the Wildcat kicker did put the ball through the uprights three times to bring them within five at the half. No doubt Coach Archer had some inspirational words for his team during the half-time period. Nicky Hazzard (left). Eric Hill (cenler) and Tommy Clapp wrap up Kentucky running back Mark Higgs. You lake it! Oliver Lawrence gives the ball to Jimmy Young after intercepting a pass by Kentucky ' s Glenn Fohr because the third and fourth quar- ters were all LSU. In the third quarter, LSU scored two more touchdowns, in- cluding an impressive 45-yard run by Eddie Fuller. Meanwhile, Kentucky never crossed the 50- yard line. During the fourth quarter the Tigers slowed down the tempo somewhat for both teams LSU settled for two field goals late in the quarter, after missing a long 5 1 yarder early in the period. The defense dictated the Wildcat ' s offense by picking off three in- terceptions, taking the ball from Kentucky on three of their four possessions in the quarter. Though LSU still had prob- lems with penalties, overall the team played well, and went on to remain undefeated. Final score: LSU 34. Ken- tucky 9.

At the end of the first half, the Tigers were no doubt worrying about the outcome of the game. While in the lead. 14-10, the team had not played either up to its ability, or up to the caliber needed to win a game. The second half saw about the same amount of yellow flags come LSU ' s way, but it also saw the Tiger offense come alive under the control of Mickey Guidry, who took the helm when Tom Hodson went out with a sprained knee. One could say the scoring game for LSU was divided in two. The first half of scoring came with the tried and true Hod- son Davis duo. The sophomore quarterback connected with his favorite receiver three times. The other scoring method came with Mickey Guidry in control, and it was a ground attack. Eddie Ful- ler, Harvey Williams and Sammy Martin each ran their way in for a touchdown. Perhaps Williams was a bit impatient to see the Ti- gers win; within two minutes of Fuller ' s TD. and on the first play of the drive, he took the ball around the right 76 yards into t he endzone.

What did happen was that the Crimson Tide took advantage of a lackluster LSU. putting the SEC title up for grabs. What could go wrong, did.

The second quarter was all LSU, as the Tigers got three points, and then seven more on a 9-yard touchdown run by Victor Jones, giving LSU the lead at the half. What should have happened was that the Tigers should have driven down for another touch- down, or at least a field goal, but what did happen was Sammy Martin dropped the ball, ending a good drive. Unfortunately, when the second half began, the Tigers re- mained in the locker room. What should have happened was that Guidry should have lead his offense into the endzone, what did happen was that he was sack- ed, causing him to fumble, en- ding another scoring opportun- ity, and indeed, setting up a Tide TD.

With the game lied at 14 till late in the second quar- ter, the outcome (LSU. 34, Mis- sissippi State. 14) was anything but certain. At the outset, it appeared that perhaps it would be a repeat of last year ' s contest against the Bulldogs. First the Timers took the ball 72 yards on their first possesion, ending the drive with a 7-yard Sammy Martin run for the TD. Next, the defense kicked in. causing a Mississippi State turnover on their own 14. A 13- yard pass from Hodson to Davis was the capping play from the offense, and after a Browndyke extra point.

The second half of the game- was all LSU, with Harvey Wil- liams trotting in for one TD, and Browndyke kicking seven points himself, including one 49-yard field goal. Besides seeing the Tigers beat Mississippi State in a contest that — because it was Homecoming and the senior ' s final home game — could be considered one of the most emotional of the season, the fans were given two extra treats. First. Tom Hodson ' s pass to Sammy Martin late in the second quarter for a touchdown broke Alan Risher ' s school record for career touchdown passes. The other treat was yet another Wendell Davis record-breaking venture.

The Tigers, a two-touchdown favorite going into the game, blew an 1 1 -point lead with five minutes remaining, only to make a comeback on their final posses- sion. Trailing 35-24, Tulane scored a pair of touchdowns in rapid fire succession. Terrence Jones found stellar split end Marc Zeno for an 18-yard touchdown strike to cut the lead to 35-30. Follow- ing a fumble by Alvin Lee on the kickoff return, Jones hit backup split end Jerome Mcintosh for a 21-yard TD pass, giving the Greenies a 36-35 lead with 3:37 remaining. Now trailing for the first time in the game, the Tigers answered with a clutch drive of their own. Starting from the LSU 3 1 -yard line, the Tigers moved to the Green Wave 42, where they faced fourth down and 6. With the game on the line and Wendell Davis double covered, Tom Hodson rolled to his right and found tailback Sam Martin open over the middle for a 13- yard gain. Two plays later, backup tail- back Eddie Fuller broke through several Tulane tacklers and into the end zone on a 20-yard touch- down run. LSU missed on the two-point conversion, but the Ti- gers were in front t o stay. LSU had built a 21-7 halftime lead, mainly on the strength of a pair of 10- and 17-yard touch- down passes from Hodson to Davis, the SEC ' s all-time leading receiver. The two TD catches were the 18th and 19th of Davis ' career, an LSU record. Sophomore tailback Harvey Williams also added his exciting flair to the game, but the way he ended his season was anything but thrilling. Williams juked his way to 181 yards rushing on 19 carries and two TD ' s. giving him 1,001 yards rushing and 1 2 touchdowns for the season. But on Williams ' final carry, a seven-yard burst early in the fourth quarter that put him over 1,000 yards for the season, the Tiger tailback tore a ligament in his left knee, sidelining him for eight to nine months and keeping him out of postseason play.

While LSU appears to still be much in contention for the titles, things could still go astray. Overall, the Tigers are 10-5. At this point in the season, LSU faces one big problem: the team has a lack of depth. Not, as is in some cases, that the backup play- ers are not very good, but that there are so few backup players. In fact, due to an injury and academic ineligibilities the team consists of only nine members. When the team has practice games, a coach or manager must play in order to fill out the ranks. The road ahead will surely be paved with wins and losses, but with such a meager team, the same starting line will be forced to take much of the burden upon their own shoulders.

Basketball Z3 7 ■■.,««■ Pistol Pete dies at 40 Shock and sadness were typic- al reactions from the sports world in last week January 3-9, 1988. as LSU and the Basketball world witnessed the passing of one of the game ' s greatest legends, Pete Maravich. Maravich, who became the leading scorer in NCAA basket- ball history when he played at LSU from 1968-70, died of a heart attack while playing a pick- up basketball game with friends in Pasadena. California. He was 40 years old. Maravich had only recently reassociated himself with the LSU athletic family. For years he refused to be a part of LSU athle- tics, primarily because his father. Press, had been fired in 1972 and replaced by Dale Brown. Nicknamed ' Pistol Pete for his prolific shooting style on the court, Maravich rewrote the NCAA record book while only Peler Press Maravich June 22, 1947- January 5, 1988 playing in 83 games in three varsity seasons. Those three sea- sons were played under his father. Press, who died in April after a long bout with cancer. Maravich completed his in- comparable career in Tigertown with 3,667 points and an incredi- ble scoring average of 44.2 points per game. He led the NCAA in scoring each of his three seasons, and in 1970 was named the Associated Press col- legiate player of the year. The Pistol still holds the NCAA record for total career points , career points-per-game. points for a season, and career points-per-game for a season. He still holds every LSU record for a game, season and career in the points scored, scoring average, field goals attempted and made, and free throws attempted and made categories. After his college career ended. Maravich was a first-round draft choice of the Atlanta Hawks, where he played through the 1973-74 season. Maravich was then traded to the Jazz, an expansion team awarded to New Orleans. There he thrilled fans in the Superdome until 1979, when the Jazz moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. The Utah Jazz traded Mara- vich to the Boston Celtics mid- way through the 1980 season, when he retired after a 10-year career which failed to include an NBA title, something Maravich said he always regretted. He was named to the National Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987. Though he never wore a cham- pionship ring , Maravich was able to touch many people-on and off the court.

Tigers Go to Omaha Once Again L fSU back in the College World Series? This season? No way. Not so fast. Remember, when you ' re talking about LSU athle- tics you ' re talking about the im- probable. Such was the case of the LSU baseball Tigers as they made their second consecutive trip to Omaha and the College World Series, the first SEC team in his- tory to do so. At the end of the regular sea- son, LSU appeared to be going nowhere fast. Although their re- cord of 40-15 was respectable enough, the Tigers ' fifth place finish in the SEC didn ' t exactly jive with their national preseason No. 1 ranking. After an opening loss at the SEC Tournament in Athens, GA, LSU ' s chances for an NCAA bid seemed bleaker still, much less a return trip to Omaha. But the Tigers began to come together, and although they were bombed in the tourney final by Mississippi State 13-3, LSU im- pressed the NCAA enough to ex- tend the Tigers an at-large bid to the South II Regional in New Orleans. The regional competition appeared to be difficult enough, but shortly after returning from the SEC Tournament, head coach Skip Bertman announced he had suspended right fielder Joey Bel- le from the team. Nevertheless, once in the South II Regional the Tigers re- lied on a long awaited combina- tion of timely if not powerful hit- ting, superb pitching and airtight defense to dispose of top-20 Tulane, host UNO, and finally second-ranked Cal-State Ful- lerton. Now ranked seventh in the na- tion, the Tigers opened against No. 5 Florida State and All- America pitcher Ritchie Lewis. LSU pitcher and regional MVP Gregg Patterson matched Lewis pitch for pitch and led 1-0 going into the bottom of the ninth before giving up a demoralizing solo home run.

Barry Manuel came on to shut down a FSU rally in the bottom of the inning and preserve a 6-2 Ti- ger win. In game two, LSU jumped out to an early lead against No. 3 Oklahoma State before the game was halted by rain in the bottom of the fourth. When play resumed the next day, the Cowboys struck back for an 8-7 win. Now facing elimination, the Tigers instead eliminated Arkan- sas 5-2. Friday found the Tigers facing the now No. 2 Stanford Cardin- als. The two teams were tied at two heading into the I Oth inning. With the bases loaded and two out in the top of the tenth, LSU catcher Craig Faulkner ripped a three run double to uive the Ti- gers a 5-2 lead. It wouldn ' t last. After two walks, a wild pitch and switch to LSU pitcher Ben McDonald, the bases were loaded for Stanford outfielder Paul Carey In the freshman vs. freshman confrontation. LSU lost. Carey sent McDonald ' s 1-1 pitch over the left field fence, an opposite field grand slam that ended the game, and LSU ' s season.

He had the career record for hits at 194; he had the career record for runs scored (157) and for RBIs (172). He was the all-time leader in homeruns with 49 and the all- time leader in total bases with 392. He was the Most Valuable Player in the NCAA South I Regional in 1986. The list of his accomplishments by no means stops there, but goes on and on. But. there ' s another side to this tremendous athlete. The John McEnroe of the college baseball world. Belle had been known to throw his bat and helmet after striking out, as well as to curse at umpires Finally, the frequent displays of anger and frustration built up, and head coach Skip Bertman dismissed Belle from the team. The last incidence of Belle ' s uncontrollable temper came late in the season at the SEC Tournament in Athens. Ga. In a game against Mississippi State, which LSU lost 13-3, Belle left the play- ing field to chase a Bulldog fan who had been insulting Belle with racial slurs. The fan was holding a two-by-four as team- mate Pete Bush and umpire Paul Andrew- jewski restrained Belle. Suspended from the team. Belle was unable to play in the NCAA Tournament, or the College World Series. He did, however, enter the draft and was signed by the Cleveland Indians.

L eisure sports? Like bowling, or badminton? Could be, but the leisure sports (a misnomer, actually) we ' re talking about here are not your tea on Sunday after- noon sports. We ' re talking soc- cer, rugb and football. Soccer is especially popular with the international students. LSU ' s soccer team is doing its part to keep the university victo- rious in sporting circles. Playing opponents from other schools in the area such as Nicholls and Mississippi State, the team mem- bers go out with the intention of booting the ball into the net more times than their foes. Soccer players can use only their feet, and, in certain circumstances, their heads. Rugby is real football, mate. These brutes don ' t wear pads and don ' t eat quiche. According to Webster ' s New World Diction- ary, the game was invented at Rugby School in Warwickshire, England . Each team has 1 5 mem- bers, unlike American football and soccer with 1 1 members per team. The action is nonstop, with the pigskin being thrown, car- ried, or dribbled with the feet. That I ' d like to see. If American fare is more like it, intermural sports pits frats against frats, clubs against clubs, young ladies against young ladies. Flag football is the name, The Phi Mu quarterback shouts at her receivers while a teamr.iate blocks a Delta Gamma opponent. Sherri Sloan practices a slalom run for the LSU waterski team. and flag football is the game. Un- like official football, the number of players on each team varies. Like official football, some teams are unbeatable, while others are pitiful. Leisure sports? Hah, these people are tiied and dirty when they get through. That ' s not lei- sure. It ' s not work, but it ' s not leisure. Leisure is watching foot- ball on TV, not playing it in the mud.

Some of the charities the BSU helps are the Baton Rouge Food Bank, the Seaman ' s Center, Fountainlodge Nursing Home, the Hunger Relief Crop Walk, which it sponsored in conjunc- tion with The United Campus Ministry this year, and the Big Buddy Program. The BSU works to raise money for mission endeavors in both the spring and summer. Spring of 87 saw the BSU on the field in Ohio working with a number of diffe- rent churches. Spring of ' 88 will have seen them at work in Mex- ico helping young churches to grow and to start new ones. In the summer the BSU sends student summer missionaries to work on the mission field in many states and even a few foreign countries. Leisure Time sees BSU mem bers participate in such activities as intramural football, basket- ball, softball and volleyball. They also participate in Home- coming competition and attend sporting events as a group to cheer on the Tigers. One of the main events BSU sponsors is its annual What it is which is an anything goes type of activity held on the parade grounds. Youths from Baptist churches all across the state are invited to participate in the games with all proceeds going toward summer missions. The BSU also hosts a singing ensemble, ' Wings of the Dove, which performs at many BSU functions. o f ' La up. liU if « 107 Block and Bridle M Andrew Block and Bridle is a profes- sional organization under the De- partment of Animal Science.

The news business — whether i! be on campus or in real life — doesn ' t have room for people who like to finish second. That ' s why The Daily Reveille strives each day to publish the stories that most effect the lives of the students and faculty of LSU. While The Daily Reveille is the major news source on cam- pus, it ' s also the voice of the stu- dent. A lively debate on the issues of the hour can be found practically any day on the paper ' s editorial pages. But whatever the subject, our readers can be assured we went at it aggressively. In our view, that ' s the only way to cover the news and it ' s the only way to ever be the best.

Delta Sigma Pi is a profession- al fraternity that is recognized as a leader on campus and in the business and civic communities. A strong professional program prepares the student for the real world through business tours, professional speakers and the dis- tribution of resume books to em- ployers. In addition, our civic in- volvement includes blood drives. Junior Achievement and a SOS (students orienting students) gui- dance program for freshmen. De- lta Sigma Pi organizes such so- cial events as a crawfish boil, a camping trip. TGIF ' s, a recep- tion (semi-formal) and parties. As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Delta Sigma Pi is a competitive advantage for the graduating student. For the undergraduate, it is the bridge be- tween college and career because Delta Sigma Pi arms the business student with the tools necessary to become business leaders in the community.

Secretary Treasurer, representa- tives of each program in General College, and Committee Chair- man, was very active in the Fall semester. Along with publishing a newsletter for students in General College, the Council produced an academic calender. The Council also sponsored a Chancellor Appreciation Day which involved a reception attended by students in General College, faculty, and parents. The Council was also proud to donate a new American Flag to the university in celebration of the Bicentennial of the signing of the Constitution. Career Day was also a success in the Fall as many students made contact with their future employers. Although the Council re- mained active in the Fall, the Council has many exciting plans for the Spring, including the establishment of the tutorial programs and the Honors Ban- quet along with a Spring Career Day. The General College Student Council would like to thank all the people who made the Fall successful, especially Randy Gurie and the General College staff and workers. We would also like to encourage more people to get involved by signing up on the various committees and helping out — we need it. The more you get involved in General College, the more you will get out of it. Richer !.,.„ President. Brett Craw lord: Vice- president. Murk Issel: Seciel.in . Kelt) GlaJgow; Treasurer.

Kappa Delta Epsilon 185 ■ X 8U (Fall Staff) KLSU, the station paid for by the students, run by students, and for students was in the midst of controversy during the fall of 1987. In the past, KLSU has billed itself as an alternative college radio. The problem arose that a large percentage of LSU ' s stu- dent body doesn ' t like alternative music; this percentage often complained that since the stu- dents pay for KLSU, the type of music played should reflect the interests of the majority. Others, particularly KLSU announcers, argued that as a col- lege station it was the station ' s job to present a format of music that Baton Rouge listeners would hear nowhere else, and that often what is considered alternative to- day is often mainstream tomor- row. Indeed KLSU has played many bands long before gaining their popular (Top 40) appeal: U2, Tears for Fears, the Pet Shop Boys, and even bands like Run- DMC and the Beastie Boys. The furor arose when station manager Mike Gautreaux and op- erations manager Mike North de- cided to change the play lists without consulting the music director, Jeff Suey, the chief announcer Jenni Lawson. or any of the regular announcers. The new format would add a certain number of mainstream groups that should be played each hour. The new format is now in effect, and while KLSU certainly doesn ' t resemble any of its com- mercial competitors, it has lost some of that unpredictability it had in the past.

KLSU ' s move from the old East Stadium location to the basement of Hodges had been in the planning stage for months, but, during the summer of ' 87, when the Reveille and the Gumbo were settling in their new homes, KLSU was still locked in its stale old cave. The problem was getting the studios wired up. In particular, there were difficulties coming up with a satifactory contract with an engineering firm. Soon, though, they were promised, soon. When the fall semester ended, KLSU went off the air. During the silence, the move was made to the new location. Thousands of albums — records, tapes and compact discs — were hauled over by the station ' s staff and by helpful volunteers. Finally, on Sunday, January 17, 91.1 on the dial was no longer blank. The station had, along with its new facilities, a new out look on life. The FCC had begun crack- ing down on obscenities play- ed over the airwaves, so certain songs were put on a banned list. Station security was a big consideration, so the broadcast day went from 6 a.m. to 12 mid- night for the first few weeks until the premises proved safe. Stu- dent Media put tougher regula- tions on the station staff, pro- hibiting graffiti and alcohol from the premises. In short, KLSU took on a whole new professional stance, while maintaining its de- dication to alternative music.

Scotch Guard seeks opportu- nites to reach others. Bach mem- ber must be willing to giver her time and efforts to the service of others. In return, she receives self-satisfaction, fulfullment and new friendships. This year Scotch Guard cele- brated its 25th year on the LSU campus by hosting a Scotch Guard Week. During this week (November 2-6) Scotch Guard hosted a campus-wide charity drive collecting clothing and other items for the needy.

The Louisiana Alpha chapter at LSU was char- tered in 1 36. and there are over 200 chapters located at schools across the country. The purpose of the society is to recogni e those who have exhi- bited distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as stu- dents in engineering, and to los- ter a spirit of liberal culture in engineering colleges. Membership is by invitation and is restricted to junior and senior engineering students who are near the top of their class scholastically and have shown exemplary character. The Louisiana Alpha chapter strives to promote professional- ism and to encourage scholarship among engineering students. Its members initiate projects toward this end and support such work in other student organizations. 3 2 International Student Association Row: Quang Do, Juliah Rais, Ro- land Berner, Mustata Haciislamogln.

As the oldest sorority on LSU ' s Campus, Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Delta prides itself on the diversity of its chapter mem- bers and the wide array of cam- pus and community activities in which KD participates. This year, a handful of KD ' s assumed leadership positions in LSU ' s Panhellenic Council, Student Government Association and Greek Steering Committee. In addition, memberships in various campus organizations are well- represented by Kappa Delta. Scotch Guard, Gamma Beta Phi, Alpha Lambda Delta, Kappa De- lta Epsilon, Pre-Law Association and College Republicans are a few of the many organizations that KD ' s enjoy. In the local and national com- munities. Kappa Delta is in- volved in a number of philanthro- pic activities. Its main efforst, however, are focused on The National Prevention of Child Abuse and The Children ' s Hos- pital in Richmond, Virginia. To benefit The National Prevention of Child Abuse, Kappa Delta ' s conduct an annual fundraiser in the Spring, the Shamrock Pro- ject. This year, KD ' s on LSU ' s campus raised over $3,000 for the cause, a mere fraction of the funds raised nationwide by Kap- KD collegian gives congratulatory hug to new pledge, Jennifer Jenkins. JCappa iDelta 545 K ff X)JtU IB Locally, KD ' s engage in many smaller philanthropic efforts, including the spon- sorship of needy families during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Kappa Delta ' s also par- ticipate in campus-wide charit- able functions, including Sigma Chi Fraternity ' s Derby Days, a week-long fundraiser for the American Heart Association, and the LSU Charity Marathon for Muscular Dystrophy. Kappa De- lta finished second place in the Sigma Chi event in 1987, and third place in the MD Marathon this year. Kappa Delta ' s also take part in Greek -vtivities on the LSU cam- pus, including Jam-Jam, Song- fest, Greek Week and Alcohol Awareness Week. Despite Kap- pa Delta ' s dedication to campus and community life, the chapter continues to stress high academic standards, as evidenced by KD ' s third place ranking among the sororities according to overall GPA. Epsilon chapter of Kappa De- lta looks eagerly to the future, as the present LSU chapter was rec- ognized as one of the top ten KD chapters in the country at the sorority ' s 47th annual national convention this past summer.

Some of the objectives our chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sororilv have achieved this semester are as follows: our chapter partici- pated in manning the phones for the March of Dimes, we also raised money and participated in the Sickle Cell Anemia Telethon, and finally for our Thanksgiving project we provided food baskets for two local families in the Baton Rouge area. Rebecca Bunkley It was a time of changes and of hope for the Panhellenic Council dur- ing 1987. Some bold new ideas were attempted by the council, headed by president Rebecca Bunkley. Copy editor David Grenkevich met with the Rebecca at the Tri-Delt house, asked one question, and learned quite a bit about the council ' s work for the year. Rebecca ' s answer is printed below. GUMBO: Tell me about the Panhel- lenic Council and its goals in 1987. REBECCA: This year the whole Panhallenic and IFC (Interfraternity Council) tried to make some radical changes. Our big thrust was a new era of Greek unity. That was what we really wanted to concentrate on. be- cause just like anything else, any other group of people where there are several subdivisions, there ' s a lot of prejudice, stereotypes — too much competition in a lot of the Greek community. It ' s like its own little world, and as it is I think the Greeks are against, a lot versus non-Greeks or versus LSU people who are hostile for some reason or another. I think that we could have benefited the whole system and each individual chapter a lot more if we ' d all stick together and be unified... We also had a problem because some chapters on campus are a lot smaller than others, and some are gigantic, and that causes a lot of stereotypes, too. Large chapters tend to think they ' re better than the small ones... So we tried to do thinks like, one night we called it Lottery Night... every week the sororities exchange, they call them exchanges and have little par- ties and whatever. Well, they always do it with the same ones (fraterni- ties)... It ' s tradition, those are the guys they know, those are the guys they want to have parties with. And there ' s only so many weeks in the semester that nationals will let us have parties, so it ' s impossible to have a party with all 24 fraternities. So we tried to do this thing this year where we ' d have five group ex- changes on one night. It was called Lottery Night. We had the social chairman pick out of a hat what groups they would have parties with. It was great because sororities had parties with guys they had never even met before, and vica versa. It worked out really well. The reason people have stereotypes is because they don ' t know what ' s on the other side, and they don ' t know the groups that they have these stereotypes about. So we figured if we forced them to get together, they would get to know each other, and find out they really did have a lot in common, and like each other. That was one of our ways to carry out Greek unity. We have Presidents Council meet- ings once a month, and in the past I think those meetings — those are for all sorority presidents — those meet- ings have been all business, just to give out dates and reminders and stuff. We tried to have more ex- changes and more openness. We util- ized Presidents Council a lot more... Because the role of sorority president is such a unique role, and often times the sorority president feels she can confide in her own sorority sisters for all of her troubles and for the solutions for all of her problems. That ' s where we were hoping Presidents Council would help out, because sometimes there ' s nobody who understands what a sorority president goes through but the president herself. We figured if we got all fifteen of them together they would maybe be able to share experiences better. It worked well, I think they did. We also have done some radical things because the Greeks are facing a tough time right now with all the liability and nationals not wanting to be responsible for kids that get too drunk at parties and hurt themselves, and their parents want to sue the national fraternity or sorority. Some national fraternities are backing off and not providing any supervision, not providing any rules, because that way they won ' t be held liable. All the sororities are very involved, and all the national sororities about two years ago signed a contract saying their sorority will not purchase alco- hol. That ' s a transition that LSU is going through right now. It ' s starting next week. Sororities will no longer purchase alcohol for exchanges. They ' ll just bring food and decora- tions and make the exchanges more elaborate. The boys will have to spend just as much money on beer, or alcohol.

Zetas can be found on overall committees for Jam — Jam, M.D. Marathon, Songfest, Greek Steering and Homecoming. They can also be seen in such honorary organizations as Alpha Lambda Delta, Omicron Delta Kappa, Mortor Board, and such service organizations as Angel Flight and Scothch Guard. Service does play an important part of being a Zeta. A member can help our philanthropy by hunting Easter eggs or Trick-or- Treating with children from the Association of Retarded Citizens. They can also help raise money through our Annual Breakfast Pancake Breakfast or the Muscular Dystrophy Marathon. But one of the most enjoyed projects os the Men of LSU Calender sold each year.

Traditionally, sororities, by either emphasis from their national chapters or reputation, pursue charitable activities with more zeal than the average group of greek males. Here at LSU, however, fraternities generally try to honor their positions as potentially charitable organiza- tions as often as possible. During the last MD Week fundraising marathon. Delta Chi, Fiji, and Sigma Pi all had the distinction of raising more than $500 for MD research and treatment. A fraternity ' s athletic tendencies can also be used to aid the needy every year in the various charity football tourneys held on cam- pus. Although most of the fraternities are simply content to participate in a broad spectrum of commendable causes, a few do have traditional philanthropies, such as Omega Psi Phi (Sickle Cell Anemia) and Theta Xi (The National Multiple Sclerosis Foundation). As stated previously, soror- ities are certainly the most avid pursuers of charitable well- being. Just a brief sampling of panhellenic-sponsored activities would yield MD Week, the Sig- ma Kappa Week of Giving (aid- ing Alzheimer ' s disease re- search), and several Chi Omega scholarship funds. Generally, the specific tradi- tional philanthropies of the va- rious sororities are ' he main re- ceptacle of most of the charitable work done by the sororities throughout the year. Kappa Delta strives to aid in child abuse pre- vention while correcting speech handicaps (logopedics) is Kappa Alpha Theta ' s main concern. Alpha Xi Delta yearly attempts to aid our nation ' s congested mas- ses by contributing to the Amer- ican Lung Association and Zeta Phi Beta adds its ' philanthropic- power to the battle against Sickle Cell Anemia. Perhaps one of the more unusual of these philanthro- pies is Phi Mu ' s support of the Project Hope hospital ship. From the above evidence it can be safely assumed that greek organizations certainly try to counterbalance whatever con- tributions they make to the world of leisure with several more to the world of the needy. After all. the best charity should be begin at home, thus, the charity given to those abroad will have a better platform upon which to be sup- ported. J.

Blake Kaplan, Lambda Chi Alpha, is the Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Reveille. 304 Qteeks in ' Keal £ik Neat Greeks — they ' re a different breed One of the perhaps dumbest remarks ever made on this cam- pus was all the greeks I know are either dead, residing along the Mediterranean, or currently enrolled in Business Administra- tion with no thought of anything or anyone beyond their own con- strictive social cliques. This statement, of course, is totally errroneous (and, by the way, totally ficticious). But it does serve to exemplify the wide- spread ignorance concerning the average greek lifestyle. A lifes- tyle that certainly projects beyond the superficial trappings of parly shirts, corduroy hats, and good grooming in general. In short, a normal lifestyle that en- compasses all of the normal, healthy activities every student experiences, and a few others. Take, for example, Barry Rozas, a sophomore pre-law, history major and current Sigma Pi president. Barry, inspired by such Album Oriented Rock powerhouses as Foreigner, Toto, and Asia, has taken as of late to drawing upon his vast musical ability to perhaps make a name for himself as a songwriter and or monolithic rock star. In early November, Barry and an im- promptu troupe of musicians (in- cluding his drum-thumping brother, Sigma Pi pledge Greg Rozas) retreated into a South- western Louisiana recording stu- dio to produce a demo tape featuring three extremely profes- sional examples of contemporary FM rock. The three songs are, according to Barry, pretty good for only an hour and fifteen mi- nutes of studio time and reflect Barry ' s romantic, keyboard — laden rock sensibilities. Despite his possible impending success, Barry simply wouldn ' t want to give up LSU. And besides , says Barry, with groupies and rabid fans, I don ' t know if I could handle touring! Although amusement is almost a given factor, riding hard is a main concern to Chi Omega Kel- ley Walker, an accomplished equestrian. Kelley, a Shreveport native, has been riding horses for about ten years and has had ex- tensive experience in jumping and saddle-seat riding. Kelley tries to share her enthusiasm ab- out the sport by instructing youngsters in the art of horseback riding at the BREC Horse Activ- ity Center. A senior in interior design, Kelley maintains that rid- ing is a fun hobby, I probably will continue to ride all my life. On perhaps a more esoteric plane, Delta Zeta Lisa Stagg stands prominent as one of LSU ' s premier harpists. Though the harp is a rather difficult instru- ment to master, Lisa nas oeen playing it for 5 years (augmented by thirteen years of training on the violin). She is currently in demand at weddings, receptions of various sorts, and is a member of the LSU Symphony. Although Lisa has only five years of experi- ence playing the harp, she always harbored a love for the instru- ment ever since she heard the harp part in the Nutcracker as a young child. This small interest was built upon whenever her mother ' s sorority sister played at her church. Acknowledging that the harp is a dying instrument due to its obscurity and perhaps its price (Lisa ' s instrument cost $9000), she takes great pride in her art and was considerably pleased upon learning that Delta Zeta pledge Stephanie Nash was also a harpist. Lisa says that some of her favorite luirpists are Carlos Salzado and Marcel Granduany, crediting them with modernizing the playing style. Remarking upon her unique hobby, Lisa simply says thai playing the harp is interesting yet rather hard work, but it pays. Being editor of a campus pub- lication and simultaneously a Kelley Walker, Chi Omega, is an accom- plished equestrian. member of a greek organization can, especially on a campus pro- ne to controversy, be a hazard. But no such prejudices have thus far presented themselves to Daily Reveille Editor-in-Chief and Lambda Chi Blake Kaplan. Through the recent years, Blake has gradually ascended the ranks of Daily Reveille staff positions from staff writer to news editor until finally last fall gaining the top slot on the campus paper. Blake hails from Shreveport and came to LSU with the express purpose of becoming an exem- plary journalism student. I real- ly like reporting because it isn ' t a mundane, sit-down job. I don ' t really know where I ' ll be from one day to the next. says Blake. As far as his immediate literary future is concerned, Blake would really like to work on a southern newspaper, maybe in Dallas or Atlanta. As far as his ultimate journalistic fantasy is concerned, however, Blake would very much like to one day be known as the literary voice of the Cincin- nati Reds. J.

It was hundreds of girls running around, screaming and hugging. Monday night ended what had begun over a week before, when any girl interested in joining one of the 1 2 Panhellenic sororities at LSU registered for rush This fall, over 750 girls signed up. Five percent were elimin- ated, leaving the remainder to be divided between the different chapters. The quota for each chapter was 62. However, due to factors such as drop-outs and other strange phenomena, only ten of the sororities will actually be taking on the number they were allowed, said Kathy Marcel, assistant director of Greek affairs. After the week-long parties, the girls selected which sorority they most wanted to join, along with alternate choices, said Susan Havard. membership chairman of Zeta Tau Alpha. Havard said not all of the girls were able to join the house of their choice, though. The current members elected which girls would join, and of course, those who wouldn ' t Those who didn ' t receive a bid were told by phone to reduce any possible embarrassment, and those who did receive bids didn ' t know which sorority chose them. Emotions fluctated for the hopefuls. One girl said she had been very nervous and had been eyeing her watch all day. Afterwards, things were diffe- rent.

An Alpha Xi Delta biddee said she was very happy, and very re- lieved. After receiving their bids, the girls rode buses to the respective houses, and were welcomed at parties complete with music, beer and multicolored helium balloons Sigma Kappa even had a band. The sororities weren ' t the only ones having fun. Members of Sigma Pi fraternity sat in their front yard watching the parade of girls down Sorority Row.

Long Pool over- flowed with activity September 20 as it hosted another successful Delta Gamma Anchor Splash This aquatic competition which pitted 19 fraternities against each other was all in fun and the pro- ceeds were donated to the Louisiana School for the Visually Impaired. To raise the funds, the soror- ities held a Mr. Legs contest and a Miss Sexy Eyes contest. Votes were cast in the form of coins dropped in jars with photos of the contests ' legs or eyes on them. The ballot boxes were located in the Union, the Life Sciences Building and the new Classroom building. Winners of this com- petition were Sigma Kappa for Miss Sexy Eyes and Lambda Chi for Mr. Legs. Additional money was earned with a $55 entry fee the fraterni- ties paid in order to compete The day-long contest included a wide variety of swimming events such as the 100-meter freestyle, the 200-meter medley relay, an innertube race, and a buoy race in which the contes- tants were required to swim with buoys between their legs hirst place in the swimming competi- tion was Lambda Chi with Aca- cia m second. One very popular contest was the Mr. Anchor Splash — a PG rated male strip tease. The title was awarded to Randy Cangelosi of Kappa Alpha. Running a close second was Darren Boone of Lambda Chi. and coming in third was Mike Alder of Acacia. Anchor Splash ' 87 earned approximately $2000, as esti- mated by Foundation Officer Tavi Brignac.

As a change of pace lets look at the Greek people who actually do reside in Athens and see just how they go about their daily lives. The Greek people are quite emotional. They don ' t yell at each other because they are angry they just talk that way ordinarily. On a normal day as you pass through the city restaurant own- ers stand on the edge of the street, scream and wave their arms at you to come eat at their res- taurant. At market, which occurs every tuesday, thursday and Saturday, they will scream at you to buy their wares. There are the gypsy women who spit on the windshield of an automobile and wipe it off and expect a dollar for their services. If you don ' t pay them they beat on your car. The Greek people drive in quite a free fashion. It is not un- common to see a great number of people run red lights. They drive between cars, on the median and shoulder just to get where they are going. The horn is the most used part of the car. If a traffic light turns green and you don ' t punch it across the intersection they honk immediately. The Greek people love their nightlife as much as they love to drive. Sometimes they will go out at 10 p.m. and not go home until 6 a.m. While they do not speak out against drinking they are adamant against public dis- plays of drunkeness. Whereas we all have had friends who could ' drink us under the table ' in Athens the Americans were al- ways the first to leave the clubs and bars. One of the most popular drinks is Ouzo. This is a liquor which tastes like licorice and is quite potent. At the time of this story the Greek drachma compares well on the exchange rate to the dollar. 100 drachma equals about $1.25. Their coins are called pieces and are numbered as 1,2, 5, 10, 25 and 50. Paper money is printed in amounts of 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 5000 drachmas. The paper money is quite pretty since it is printed in color. A great number of the Greek characters are familiar to us all due to their affiliation with groups here on campus. The bad news is that we pronounce a cou- ple of them incorrectly. For inst- ance, there is no ' g ' sound in the Greek language so ' gamma ' is pronounced ' yamma. ' ' Delta ' is prounounced ' thelta ' with the ' th ' sounding like that in the word ' the. ' ' Beta ' is ' veeta. ' There is also no long T sound in the lan- guage so most of the characters we pronounce with that sound are pronounced with a long ' e. ' (Xi, Phi) The long ' e ' sound carries over onto the characters Mu and Nu making them sound like Me and Nee. ' Chi ' is achieved by making a rolling ' k ' noise in the back of your throat.

While most dorm dwellers, fraternity men, apartment dwel- lers, and just about everybody I know deal with the domestic phe- nomena of accummulating ex- traneous crap in the same manner (i.e. having it tastefully strewn across the room), the sorority mentality allows for it only to be stored in a specially designed chamber known as the rush closet . The reasoning behind the name is unclear (unless cetain rushees can sometimes be classi- fied as accumulating ex- traneous crap ), but it is certain that the rush closet can almost be considered a vestige of greek cultural backwash, or at least a room fulla junk. Being the naturally inquisi- tive, nosey, and editorially de- sperate folks we are, we at the Gumbo ( Managing Editor Camil- le Siegfried, specifically) talked with current Kappa Kappa Gam- ma president Suzy Beisel about the contents of their Rush Closet and in the process, took a few glossies. HERE IS WHAT WE FOUND One pair of old white gran- ny ' s-weedin ' -the-garden tennis shoes. One bearclaw slipper of no ritual significance. One pink boa, sequined leotards, and a pair of fishnet stockings, hopefully of no ritual significance. One bra with extreme orthopedic significance. A No-Trespassing sign (No, it is not stolen, its a piece of painted wood.). Red top hats for a yet- indisclosed skit. A paper-mache horsehead and wooden steeds from the annual Kappa Karnival blowout. A backdrop featuring a back- drop of hills and several items of clothing made to make one look like a native Swiss-from the Sound of Kappa production. A front painted panel ( similar to those that you stand behind to take your picture as Superman or some other super-human person) featuring the bodies of the couple Fleur-de and Lis (pro- nounced lee). Cinderblocks, perhaps for pledge posture therapy. AND A straw hat with a small abund- ance of poly-styrene flora. Not exactly your average glove-compartment sediment, but still in all a very healthy assortment of useless garbage that helps make all our lives just a little more colorful. Yes, it seems that sorority junk is very much like everyone else ' s, it just has more tradition. J.

Most often perceived as a wholesome hostess and surrogate parent by her collegiate charges, the housemom is a reassuring and generally required fixture in the average Greek household. She is loved by the brothers or sisters for her characteristically sweet disposition and tolerant nature while parents and campus faculty alike find the idea of an older, more mature presence (especially in an environment notorious for occasional disregard for the rules of nature) rather calming. Here at LSU, the highly esteemed Greek tradition has al- ways been complimented by an equally impressive corps of housemothers (or, as is the trend today, the more generic house directors ). For several decades they have conducted the general domestic business of running a fraternity or sorority house while receiving, outside of their own respective chapters, very little recognition. That is... until now. Virginia McCluskey has been the Zeta Tau Alpha housemother for the past 1 1 years. Being the mother of two LSU Chi Omegas, Mrs. McCluskey was originally intently interested in being the local Chi Omega housemother. Although there was a concurrent need for housemothers within the LSU greek system at the time, Panhellenic by-laws strictly for- Mrs Bolda, AGR ' s housemom of her work and her boys. proud bade mother-daughter cohabita- tion within the same house. Nevertheless, Mrs. McCluskey still wanted to be a housemom even if it meant living at another sorority. I was given a call by the University saying they had an opening at the Zeta house for a housemother and was asked if I still wanted the job, said Mrs. McCluskey, so I accepted and have been here ever since. Mrs. McCluskey has enjoyed her leng- thy affiliation with Zeta and accepts her duties as hostess, su- pervisor, and part-time dietician (one of the housemother ' s com- mon tasks is to buy food and help prepare the menu) with a certain enthusiasm. Sharing these same traits is Kappa Alpha Theta ' s third- semester housemother Mrs. Ollie At pHA aA MMA RHO Ra7uki Muhammad Fussell who, just over a year ago i gained the job after an interview with Theta alumnae. Mrs. Fus- sell highly enjoys her status as the resident matron of the Theta house. Mrs. Fussell lists para- mount among her duties as housemother making a happy home for the girls she truly enjoys being around. I really like being the Theta House Direc- tor, stated Mrs. Fussell, and as long as I am useful to them and they are happy with me 1 will continue in this job I like so much. Although the task of helping run a sorority house can be very formidable, people with the pati- ence and tolerance enough to live with several dozen college-age men at the peak of their hormonal careers are considered by some to 574 JCouse CMoms Zeta housemom, Mrs. McCluskey fulfills other duties such as hostess, supervisor and part-time dietician. Hfi4 0 y4 be either candidates for institu- tionalization or sainthood. However, although most young men aren ' t really known for their constant air of decorum, all LSU fraternity house directors are al- ways quick to say that living with LSU ' s male greek population can be a rewarding experience. One of these people is Alpha Gamma Rho housemother Mrs. Wanda Bolda, first-year housemother for the men of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. After requesting a position as housemother from the univeristity and a customary in- terview by AGR alumni, Mrs. Bolda was installed in the fall of 86 as AGR housemom. 1 needed a job, said Mrs. Bolda, and with the current economic situation as it is, it seemed to be the perfect job for a lady my age. I guess I was rather fortunate. Despite the previous house- mother ' s strong popularity with both members and alumni, Mrs. Bolda seems to have created quite a rapport with the AGR members in a relatively short time. I had four kids myself, asserted , Mrs. Bolda, and I just love the exuberance of teenagers. The boys here are intellegent, bright, young men. I really love it here. Besides the obvious perk of gainful employment, Mrs. Bolda readily admits to posessing a great deal of pride concerning her work and the chapter she oversees. Sometimes when I get together with some of the other housemothers, they start to brag on their boys and how good they are. But I generally just sit and smile because although they may think they have the best house on campus, I know I have the best house on campus! The Houseguy — a Fraternal Phenomena The honored tradition of the housemom, a quiet and dainty lit- tle woman cloistered away in some oft-cleaned corner of the house is something every fraternity takes a certain amount of pride in. Yet, occaisonally due to chapter preference or other miscellaneous circumstances, provisions are made for other forms of supervision. One of these provisions is the in- creasingly-prevalent housedad (or houseguy, or housedude, or, as some have called him, house- fossil). Rick Macaluso, a 1984 LSU graduate and Pi Kappa Alpha alumni, is currently serv- ing in the selfsame capacity in the Pike house. Basically, the guys just call me ' mom ' , said Rick, a full-time real estate appraiser and part-time menu composer. Pike sort of needed somebody to just live in the house and I was sort of handy at the time. said Rick. Alth ough he does serve some- what as the adult prescence in the house that the university re- quires, Rick ' s duties aren ' t quite as extensive as a housemother ' s. I ' m really only required to live here, but I do help with the food and serve as resident safety in- spector. added Rick. Rick says he expects to continue being a fraternity mommy only for about another year, but has en- joyed his stay at the Pike house. It ' s kind of fun, actually. All the girls who come around think that it ' s really neat and call me ' mom ' too. In fact, this past year the sororities sent me flowers. I guess they thought I was a house- mom or something. J.

For years, the most visible (and quite effective) representatives of the LSU greek persona were the prim multitudes of Chi-Omegas or the healthy, robust platoons of Kappa Sigmas and other esteemed organizations with similar numbers. But while these organizations have continued to flourish through the years, sever- al other fraternities and sororities have come and gone from the LSU greek scene. Some of these organizations, such as BetaTheta Pi fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, Alpha Omnicron Pi and Alpha Chi Omega sororities, are quite large nationwide and even acquired respectable num- bers here at LSU. Others, like the Phi Iota Alpha and Sigma Iota Alpha fraternities and Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority wre popu- lated respectively by hispanic men and Jewish women. Some of the more intriguing of the now non-existent organiza- tions were the two inter-fraternity honor societies. For fraternity men of outstanding character or achievement there existed the Daggers and the Samurai orga- nizations. Founded in 1912, the Daggers gleaned the most illust- rious fraternity members on cam- pus for their organization until their demise in the late forties. Although an interfraternal honor society, all potential Daggers (or goats , as the aspiring Dagger was called) did have to endure a small period of pledgeship in which they were required to traipse across campus wearing a sheet complemented by a bloody dagger dangling from the neck. The Daggers ' campus antagon- ists, the Samurai organization, served in the same capacity as an exclusive inter-fraternity orga- nization. Founded here in 1932, the Samurais also vied for the loyalty of the ambitious fraternity man. Annually the two elite greek organizations would meet in the LSU stadium to declare athletic superiority in the Samur- ai-Dagger football game. This amiable rivalry continued up un- til the folding of the Dagger orga- nization, leaving, until 1961, Samurai as the only inter- fraternity organization on cam- pus outside of the Interfraternity Council. One other greek organization that deserves mention in any list of eccentric and not to mention dormant LSU greek societies is Delta Upsilon. Enjoying reason- able success on LSU in the mid and late seventies, Delta Upsilon appealed to the liberal sensibili- ties of LSU at the time with its ' non-secret appeal. All phases of Delta Upsilon organization and ritual are (for the fraternity still thrives on over 90 campuses) absolutely available for the pub- lic ' s edification (although DU in- itiation ceremonies were by in- vitation only, generally to pa- rents of pledges). Founded origi- nally to counter an unwarranted elitist superiortity, the founders of Delta Upsilon found prevalent among most fraternity men in the beginning of the century, Delta Upsilon has always found it necessary to combat ' ' the evils of secrecy and opression . There is no secret handclasp, no sacred creeds, and Delta Upsilon ' s mot- to is known publicly as Justice The Daggers of 1934, courtesy of the 1934 Gumbo. our Foundation ' ' . The LSU Delta Upsilon chapter followed in this tradition of unorthodoxy by hav- ing the only fraternity house off campus, which they inhabited until they quietly shuffled out of the greek picture in 1981. The large number of greek organizations that have estab- lished themselves and then quiet- ly vanish can possibly be attri- buted to the fact that LSU is reg- uarded nationwide as a fertile ground for the propagation of the greek lifestyle, thus leading many national fraternities and sororities to attempted numerous colonizations and recharterings. Not all of these attempts at en- larging the greek population here at LSU have met with failure. Recently chartered organizations Sigma Kappa, Delta Chi, Phi Kappa Psi, and Sigma Pi are all experiencing a burgeoning with- in their ranks. Going greek seems to get more fashionable every semester, leading many to expect even more colonies in the near future, leading perhaps to a greek community of several mid- size, yet quite stable organiza- tions instead of a few large orga- nizations shadowed by several anonymous ones.

On this final day of genteel display, potential pledges who have proven not to be social derelicts are presented with an invitation to pledge from the fraternity of their preference (or the fraternities ' preference). Later that evening, after the short, secretive pledging cere- mony is completed and the co- veted pledge pins and jerseys are lovingly presented, each stately fraternal abode slowly (in direct proportion to collective Blood Alcohol Levels ) transforms into a small, yet very noisy and not a little wet representation of brotherhood at its best.

To learn how this Greek viewed the year from the top, copy editor David Grenkevich visited Mike at his home and asked a few pointed, and a few not-so-pointed questions. GUMBO: What objectives did you have in the IFC? MIKE: Just to act as the central gov- erning body of the fraternity system. Rules, regulations, policies, things like that. GUMBO: You say rules. Does the IFC has the authority to enforce the rules? MIKE: Yes, there is an IFC judicial board that is given the power through the Dean of Students Office to act as an official disciplinary body. The code of student conduct recognizes the IFC and Pahellenic judicial boards as... an extention of the Dean ' s office, more or less. GUMBO: What activities do the IFC and Panhellenic plan together? MIKE: Last semester the Lottery Night — the fraternities and soror- ities were paired up with each other, like groups of four and four. In the past it ' s been one on one. They were just randomly put in groups and paired up for a party. We sponsored a seminar series together in the Union- . . .The first one was on Greek life, the next one was alcohol and drug abuse, sexual awareness and academic- s...The leadership lab every Febru- ary is another Panhellenic IFC pro- ject. GUMBO: The seminars, did you have speakers come in? MIKE: For the academic seminar was Dr. Huel Perkins, for the alcohol and drug abuse was the director of the Tau Center, for the sexual awareness we had the medical staff from the infirmary .... the doctor that ' s chief of staff over there, and several of the other doctors from the Student Health Center. For the Greek life. ..we had Brian Flanegan, whose sister is Kathy Marcel, who ' s the new assistant director of Greek Affairs. He came in. and he ' s a Sig- ma Chi alumnus from LSU who tours nationally and gives these, I guess you ' d call them dynamic presanta- tions. GUMBO: What changes were made by the IFC and the fraternities after the fire at the Lambda Chi house? MIKE: That was a hard week — I am a Lambda Chi, and I had been presi- dent of the chapter in ' 86... and lived in the house for two years. I think overall it was just the concern that the fire system we ' d just put up not too long ago, and there was still all this damage. The main thing was just to check out the other houses and make sure. I think some of the inspections had been missed over the last couple years, either by the university or by the fire marshal ' s office... I think one of the news stations went into a cou- ple of the houses and found that all of the fire extinguishers had been dis- charged ... It was kind of a big shock , it goes up and there ' s a complete loss. GUMBO: What are your feelings on the pellet gun shooting? (From a win- dow in the fraternity house, a Kappa Sigma member shot a FIJI member in the face with a pellet gun.) MIKE: Well, that was an awkward situation. There ' s a fine line between what is considered a fraternity action and an individual action, and that ' s often hard to define. Apparently, in meeting with the Kappa Sig chapter officers, it appeared to be one indi- vidual acting on his own. Then again, it was in a fraternity house, and there should have been someone in authority there ...to stop it 1 think the university viewed it as an indi- vidual incident, with one indi- vidual... In this case the individual was arrested and charged... If the Campus Police stepped in, or the City Police, ...we ' re not going to get involved with it. As long as there is somebody that has jurisdiction over it, we ' re not going to do anything. With just meeting with them, the concern from the FIJI chapter and from Kappa Sig was that it should have never happened. Feelings be- tween the two weren ' t really strained because of it. I think there were some hard feelings at first, but I think they worked through them and there was no adversity left when it was all over. GUMBO: Often the negative over- shadows the positive. What good things do you think were accom- plished? MIKE: That seems like that ' s always the case. Whenever the bad comes out that ' s going to be the headlines in the Reveille. The fact that $40,000 was raised through the LSU charity marathon, I think was a major accomplishment. The seminar series that we started, which was mainly directed toward the freshmen, not so much the older members. We started an award called the Ron A. Ritchie Outstanding Service Award which goes to the chapter that ' s done, or had the most outstanding service programs over the course of a year. We addressed some of the parking problems on campus... We streng- thened the rules governing South Seas... That would be some of the main things that were the good points of last year. dblpka [J ii Mpha and iJO President 585 58o (Alpha Xau Omega ( ljJU.

It was clear from the outset that these young men would not he content with the rehashing ol principles of other social organizations. Rather, it was to he founded on high Christian ideals and the purpose of achievement With these objectives in mind, they left school and became noted doctors, lawyers, journalists and educators. At the same time the bond they formed ex- panded, strengthened and produced 76 years of achievement On April 9,1987. the LSI! community welcomed Kappa Alpha Psi to its ranks. This group of 16 men are still obsessed with the principles of achievement. From their ranks come some of LSU ' s most dynamic leaders. With Phi Nu Pi as their guide.

The book was printed by Inter-Collegiate Press a subsidary of Herff Jones in Shawnee Mis- sion Kansas with Kurt Cox acting as its representative The book is printed on 80 pound glossy double coated enamel paper by an offset lithographic process. Body copy is set in 10 point Times Roman. Captions are set in 8 point Times Roman. Photo credits are set in 6 point Times Roman Folio tabs are set in 14 point Gavotte Script. Headlines are printed in various typefaces of varying sizes. All copy was set at LSU by the student staff using video display terminals and the Linotron 202 N system. The cover is Sunny Yellow with an embossed design silkscreened in purple The art found on the cover as well as that found throughout the book were designed and executed by David Hawkins and Mike Giacone. The Gumbo is produced on a printing budget of $98,000 which is derived from fees allocated from student tuition and the selling of space to student organizations. Total of such fees is $9. The book is distributed at no extra cost. Pressrun for the Gumbo is 13,500.

G M Andie s Okay, I ' ve put this off until the very last minute and now with all else finished (and a nasty letter from the company waiting in my mailbox) I finally sit to compose this note. I guess (I hope) every editor starts out with the intention of producing the best book he she possibly can, and my case was no different. The only thing is that I had the advantage of working on the staff for three years before I finally worked my way to the top spot. I wanted my book to be one of the best LSU had ever seen. I was very ambitious, I admit it. This book was produced to the best of the ability of my staff and I can only hope that it is well received by the students. I ' d like to take this time to thank my staff for all the time and effort which was put into this book. They didn ' t get to hear it a lot during the year because I am a terrible taskmaster to work for. Thanks, guys. Thank you Cam- my, for sticking by me when ev- erything started to get frantic and so did I. Thanks Glenn for listen- ing to me shout when you were the only one nearby to hear (I promise I wasn ' t shouting at you the entire time.) Heidi, I did the best I could to finish up after you graduated. I hope there aren ' t too many violations of ' the rules ' in here. Thanks for sticking by me since 1981. I took a lot of ideas which I had been saving up over the years and tried to apply them all to this book and somehow make them all work coherently. The Greek Division page shot is dedicated to LisaMarie Foley since she work- ed so hard to get it into the 1987 book, but circumstances beyond her control didn ' t allow it. I ' d like to dedicate all of my work on this book to the memory of Elaine Eubanks and to her family. Mad- dy, Dave, she taught us all so much in the short time she was here, and I, for one, will not forget a word of it. It seems that a lot of ' thank- yous ' build up and before you know it they are all over this note. Thank you Chancellor Wharton for ALL that you ' ve done to help us out. Thank you Mr. Fisher for trusting me enough to let me do stuff. Thanks Mom for just stuff in general. I love you. One night I took a break from the insanity of production and fi- gured out how much I have work- ed on the past four Gumbo ' s and, if, paid minimum wage per hour, how much I could have made working at another job. Then I figured in other things like per- sonal items stolen out of our office after we were moved into a dorm. It came out to quite a tidy sum. People ask me why I con- tinue to work here when it is so monetarily unrewarding, and I have to tell them that it ' s because I love my job. Crazy? Yes, but dedication always takes some amount of insanity. I can only hope that in twenty years when anyone looks back at this book they will have some inkling of what occurred here at LSU in 1988, since historical preservation is the primary pur- pose of the yearbook . Being the non-history individual that I am I tried my best to make historical preservation entertaining with a flair which will reflect some of the personality of our point in time. Did I succeed?

Over a four-day period, the reli- gious world was rocked. On Fri- day, Feb. 19 it was announced that the Assembly of God head- quarters was investigating Swag- gart for a possible infraction that could strip him of his status as preacher. The one-time conde- mner of those with weak morals wasted no time in confessing, tears and all. During his service at the Family Worship Center on Sunday, Feb. 21, he apologized to his wife, his family, his con- gregation and the world that he had sinned. Charges that he had spent time with a prostitute sur- faced, but while he wouldn ' t say Pholo courtesy of Swaggart Ministries exactly what his sin was, Swag- gart did say that he had not com- mited adultry. After meeting with higher-ups in the Assembly of God hierchy, his punish- ment was made public. Swag- gart would undergo a two-year rehabilitation period and would refrain from preaching for three months, along with other minor considerations. 454 (Judex LSU Union Governing Board and 296,297 LSU Union Programming Council 295 LSU Waterski Team 293 Lupo, Frances 153 M Mabry.

The spring semester saw a play very much ahead of its time. Written in 1892, Frank Wedekind ' s Spring Awakening deals with adolescent children growing up in a hypocritical, bourgeois society. A young girl becomes pregnant but doesn ' t know why because of her mother ' s mislead- ing explanation about sexual matters. Her mother further com- plicates matters by having the girl undergo an abortion, during which she dies. The father of the child commits suicide, leaving one other lad to gain insight from his friends ' misfortunes. The play is noted for combining the elements of naturalism and sym- bolism, displaying brutal frank- ness along with lyrical ex- pressionism.

Esmeralda 195 Jnclex 45Q 1 While a good number of LSU students and Baton Rouge citizens head to New Orleans for Fat Tuesday, another crowd fills the Assembly Center for the Mar- di Gras Invitational Gymnastics. Began in 1974, the meet is the longest-running and most suc- cessful of its kind. The Invita- tional is noted for hosting athletes who have later gone on to win gold medals at the Olympics. The competition in 1988 even had winners from the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. The meet has events for both men and women; Jennifer Lyerly and Susan Lind- blom represented LSU. 400 Judex Yang.

No weather predictors were instruct- ing motorists to put on tire chains or get out the rock salt, but snow it did. One minute rain was fall- ing, the next, big (really big for Baton Rouge) flakes of snow were hitting the ground. With the amount of water on the ground from the recent rain, it took several hours before the snow really began to stick. That was Friday, and on Sunday nature fooled us again. The snow fell pretty heavily for perhaps an hour or two, but the temperatures were too high for it to stick. All in all, though, it was a rare treat for Louisianians to as far south as Houma. Rayuki Muhammad Chdex 461 losing The world holds enough mys- teries and beauty for each poten- tial traveller to have his fair share of adventure and discovery. But after the exitement of new ports and quaint villages has worn off, there is one destination which any traveller will tell you is al- ways a welcome sight on the horizon. Kick off your all-leather hiking boots, shuck out of that protective canvas jacket and sit down in your favorite overstuffed armchair with two springs broken-letting you sit even lon- ger. Lean back, close your eyes and remember. . . .there ' s no place like home. The rising sun always brings with il the promise of a new adventure while the setting sun marks a day well spent .
