Louisiana State University Shreveport - Manifest / Bagatelle Yearbook (Shreveport, LA)

Text from Pages 1 - 172 of the 1980 volume:

THE MANIFEST 1979-1980 VOLUME XIII LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY IN SHREVEPORT A yearbook should not be without purpose or theme. This one has both. LSUS lacks an identity of its own, portly because of a lock of interest among the student body. Most students do not know who we are. or why we are. They know only where we are. We hope to change that in some small degree. Some universities build an identity through their academics. Most do it through their athletic programs and their mascot, which go together. A yearbook staff cannot build a stadium nor dormitories to house the players; neither can it build a reputation for academic excellence. A yearbook can only work with what the school has. and what LSUS has right now is a mascot. Apparently, most students here are unaware that we even have that. This edition of the yearbook is built around the LSUS mascot, a riverboat pilot. Included among the pictures and names and other things that go into chronicling a university's year are two essays, one explaining why we are the Pilots, the other explaining why and how the yearbook name was changed to The Manifest. We hope you enjoy this edition, and we hope it adds to the feeling that LSUS is more than simply a place to come for classes five days a week, that it is a university — our university. The Manifest Staff openng • 3 He stands at the wheel, guiding the vessel through the night. He is a riverboat pilot, a man who. in the words of Mark Twain, was the only unfettered and entirely independent human being that lived in the earth ... a king without a keeper, an absolute monarch who was absolute in sober truth and not be a fiction of words. He is a monument, a symbol of virtues admired by all Americans — independence, leadership, knowledge, hard work, perseverance, pride — a man admired ond respected by the people of Ns day. a man with total authority and responsibility in his own world. A man worthy of emulation. His classroom is immense. It spans the length and breadth of a nation. His education is the river. He must know every stump, bend, shoal, point, bar. island and town; everything from bank to bank, in daylight and in darkness, going upriver and going downriver. He never stops learning, for the river is ever changing. And he learns it wen. The safety of the passengers and crew and cargo depend upon it. I think a pilot's memory is about the most wonderful thing is the world, wrote Twain, a onetime riverboat plot himself, in Life on the Mississippi. To know the Old and New Testaments by heart, and be able to recite them glibly, forward or backward, or begin at random anywhere in the book and recite both ways and never trip or make a mistake, is no extravagant mass of knowl- a • OPENNG OPtNWG 5 6 • OPENNG edge, and no marvelous facility, compared to a pilot's massed knowledge of the Mississippi and his marvelous facility in the handling of it.” And handle it he must, for the pilot alone is responsible for the riverboat once it has left the dock. Even the captain, the personal representative of the owner or owners of the boat, defers to the pilot's judgments once the vessel is under way. The pitot's authority is complete, his every move an unquestioned command, with even the merest hint of a suggestion, no matter what the circumstances, resented as an affront to his abilities and judgment. He is a master without a keeper, a man who gives commands but never receives them. A man who voices even the simplest request in the form of an order. A man grown accustomed to facing decisions. Decisions that he atone must resolve. He is a true leader, a man tried and tested under fire and not found wonting. A pitot must have a memory;” Twain wrote, but there are two higher qualities which he must also have. He must have good and quick judgment and decision. and a cool, calm courage that no peril can shake. Give a man the merest trifle of pluck to start with, and by the time he has become a pitot he cannot be unmanned by any danger a steamboat can get into, but one cannot quite say the same for judgment. Judgment is a matter of brains, and a man must start with OPtNNG • 7 a good stock of that article or he will never succeed as a pilot. But a man also needed more than that to succeed as a pilot. He needed a willingness to accept hard work. And he needed perseverance. And pride. For there was a price to be paid in becoming a piot. Success meant constant learning, a never-ending memory drill of every aspect of the river. Success meant double shifts, one in daylight, one in darkness. Success meant the immense amount of preparation necessary to make every decision. and to make every decision correctly. Success meant having enough single-mindedness of purpose to sacrifice all other interests in order to be a pilot. Your true pilot cares nothing about anything on earth but the river. Twain wrote, and his pride in his occupation surpasses the pride of kings. It was a pride well founded, for pilots were not looked upon as ordinary people. Pilots were the stuff of heros. The one never-ending dream of every small boy along the waterways of America during the early and mid-1800s was to become part of a riverboat crew. And the most glorious, the most envied man of the crew was the pilot. To grow up to be a pilot, in the eyes of a child living in a village along one of the rivers, was the greatest of all fantasies come true. But children were not the only ones who looked up to pilots. All shore-bound people held them in high esteem. When pilots from o - x c - k OPEMNG • 9 either end of the river wandered into our smal Missouri village. Twain wrote, they were ... treated with exalted respect. It was a respect that was both earned and demanded. Riverfront towns were often dependent upon the riverboats for both goods and excitement. A river-boat landing was a great event for a vlage. brightening an otherwise drab existence - an existence made possible, in part, through the skis of the men who piloted the boats. Those men are gone now. With the coming of the railroads the reign of the riverboats drew to an end. As the riverboats disappeared. so d d their pitots, closing out a chapter in history, gone forever except as a memory. And as an example. What's in a name? To some. it can be everything. To others, it can be nothing An al-important symbol on the one hand; a meaningless word or words on the other. But that applies only to good names. A good name may be great to some, while it may also be useless to others. But not a bad name. A bad name, even to those who care nothing about names, grates B e an off-key note. In 1968 the first edition of the ISUS yearbook was published. On page 4. in small print under the table of contents, an explanation for the title Bagatelle was given: The word Bagatelle originates from the French word 'bagatelle' which roughly translates as 'bits and pieces'. This exemplifies that OPSNNG • 11 a school's yearbook is composed of the yearly activities of that school. For this reason, the yearbook staff chose the name Baga-. telle. It was not a particularly good choice. Students should know what the yearbook name means. By 1980. not only did most LSUS students not know what bagatelle meant, many, if not most, had no idea how to pronounce it. Which is probably just as well, because bad names don't improve with increased knowledge of them. If anything, they get worse. That was true of the name Bagatelle. The more you knew, the worse it got. But knowledge of a bad name does have one good point. If it shows why the name is bad. then maybe that knowledge win spur someone on to change to a. hopefully, better name. Which is why the yearbook is now The Manifest and not the Bagatelle. The decision to change the name came about early in the fall semester when someone on the yearbook staff become curious as to what bagatelle meant. A look in The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language revealed that instead of bits and pieces” bagatelle meant trifle. Not so good. But it gets worse. Webster's Third New International Dictionary defines bagatelle as. among other things. A thing of little or no importance or value; a mere nothing; a trifle. Upon learning what bagatelle 12 • opsnng OPEf NG • 13 14 • OPENNG meant, the yearbook staff, in what was probably the quickest decision reached by any group of people at LSUS all year, decided that an attempt should be made to change the name. A student poll was conducted in mid-October to see if students wanted the name changed. In addition, the staff had come up with a new name, the Pitot's Log. and the poll was also used to see with what response the name would meet. These was also room on the ballot for suggestions for a new name and for suggestions on improving the yearbook. The Pitot’s Log had been suggested as the new name in an attempt to identify the yearbook with the LSUS symbol, the Pilots. The staff was favorably disposed toward the Pilot's Log. The poll showed nobody else was. The poll also showed that almost nobody liked the name Baga- telle. which came as no surprise. And the voters liked it even less when told what it meant. AH of which created a problem. Students liked neither name. And the names suggested on the ballots were either too close to the other two names, such as the Captain's Log. or did not relate in some way to the theme of a riv-erboat pilot, or were unacceptable for other reasons. The staff eventually decided on an alternate name — The Manifest. A manifest is a listing of cargo, crew and passengers aboard a ship or boat. In early November another poll was taken, this time to see if students preferred The Manifest to the Bagatelle. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of the name The Manifest. So there it is. A new name for the yearbook by a new yearbook staff. We hope you like it. openng • 15 16 OPENNG Classes 114 17 ORGANIZATIONS Edited By: Nancy Griswold Vince Slusher Student Government Association SGA Represents Student Body Plans Apartment Guide The Student Government Association has been on campus for nearly a decade. It was founded in 1970 in order to aid and represent a growing student body It is structured so aH students are represented in that there are senators elected from each college as well as senators-at-large. The purpose of the SGA is to provide programs and services to the students and to protect their rights. The most important role the SGA has is its voice in student affairs. Problems concerning student welfare can be brought to the attention of the administration through the SGA. Projects under SGA consideration are an apartment guide, a faculty information guide and an academic appeals board. 20 • ORGANIZATIONS mm ORGAMZATtONS • 21 A) SGA senator Chuck Sett B) Keith Whitehead, president of the Student Government Association.

The Kappa Alpha Order was founded on December 21. 1865. From four founding fathers. KA's numbers have swelled to over 90.000 members. The principles the found- ing fathers adopted for the Order were profoundly influenced by Robert E. Lee. who. to the founders, represented the qualities and high standards that the order helps develop in young men. The purpose of the Order is to develop leadership by creating a unit of brotherhood among its members. The Delta Chi chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order became an active chapter at ISUS on February 7. 1976. Since that time KA has become one of the most colorful organizations on campus - exemplified by their sponsorship of Old South. Old South is a week-long event held each spring.

During the winter, the Mall is generally so windy that going from one building to another is an unpleasant necessity. Several activities take place in the Mall annually.

Wilcox, dean of the college and professor of economics, is one of the fastest growing colleges on campus. From 1973 to 1979 the college experienced a steady increase in enrollment of approximately 4V4 percent each year. With the addition of the master's degree in business administration this year, the college experienced a dramatic jump of 15 percent in enrollment. Wilcox said that part of the popularity of the Colege of Business Administration may result from the wide variety of programs available; however, he also added that the increase in enrolments if happening across the country. A definite plus for the college is the high success rate of its graduates in finding jobs. Wilcox said that most of the students in the college work part time and often have a career lined up with the same employer after graduation. In fact. Wilcox said, one of the problems the college is plagued with is a poor turnout when employers visit the campus because so many of the students are already assured of jobs. Accounting Daniel I.

Tabarlet. dean and professor of education, has. through the high scores made by its students on the National Teacher Exam, quickly become representative of the high standard of academic excellence associated with LSUS. For the past three years students in the College of Education have compiled an enviable record on the National Teacher Exam. Tabarlet said. We have had about a 90 percent success rate, which is based on a very high average score. Tabarlet also said that approximately 75 percent of the LSUS students taking the test during the three-year period have scored above the national average. Employment is another area where the College of Education is scoring above the national average. Tobarlet said. The college is placing about 90 percent of its graduates, in comparison with a national average of about 30 percent. Tabarlet said the reason for the high employment rate of the graduates is because of the high quality of students at LSUS, and because there is an undersupply of teachers in the Coddo-Bossier area and throughout Louisiana, particularly in rural areas.

Marsala The College of General Studies is somewhat different from that of the other four colleges on campus, according to its dean. Dr. Vincent J. Marsala. Marsala said that, unlike the other colleges, the College of General Studies offers a special degree program for students not interested in a specific discipline. Instead, students concentrate in two areas of interest. Additionally, the college offers a degree in criminal justice. Marsala said that most of the people graduating from the college with a bachelor's degree in general studies are “atypical students. “Most of our graduates have been older than the average student, Marsala said, “and have been people who have 'stopped out' of college and then later returned to complete their education without disruption of their work schedules or family life. Marsala also said that, although the type of program offered by the college is becoming more popular, most of the students entering the college choose it because they have not decided on a major when they enroll at LSUS. Eventually, most of them do decide on a major and are sent off to that college. Marsala said. Frank Bruscato. B.S.. Northeast La Untv. Chairman.

Our English and foreign language departments have assisted area high school teachers with conferences. These departments have also provided credit and non-credit courses. And our communications department provides speech and hearing services to the public. McBride said that the College of Liberal Arts forms the heart and core of the University. I believe that the study of the arts, humanities and social sciences produces a richly endowed graduate with the analytical and verbal skills that society needs, as well as the flexibflity demanded by rapidly changing employment markets. McBride said that students have compiled excellent records after graduating from the college, and she noted in particular those students going on to graduate or law schools.

Moss said that the philosophy of the College of Science is that it is end product oriented. We stress an education that also meets the demands of society. Currently one of those demands is for people qualified in the field of computer science. Moss said that there has been rapid growth in that science and that he expects it to continue. In response to that demand, the college now offers a degree in computer science, which Moss said is the fastest growing area in the college. Additionally, the college is upgrading its computer equipment and plans to use computers in both the science labs and in the writing lab. Moss also predicted that there would be faster growth in the physical sciences in the next few years and that growth in the biological sciences would level off. Sciences Robert Kamsky. Ph D..

You start out at one school only to graduate four years later from a different one. Of you start out sure of your major only to switch later on. Both things have happened to Kim Purdy, a senior majoring in secondary education English. Purdy started out at another college, only to switch to LSUS two years later. And, although she will receive a degree in education, her future plans now call for law school instead of going on for a graduate degree in English. I don't think I'm really switching fields, Purdy said. “I'll still have the degree in education. It's just that I'm more interested in law. I want to make it a career. Ironically, Purdy will attend law school at LSU-Ba-ton Rouge, where she spent her first two years in college. When asked to compare LSU-BR with LSUS. Purdy said. It's not as different as I thought it would be. but there is definitely a difference. At Baton Rouge you're always around students. It's a little family within itself. But it's a lot more personal up here. Purdy said. ”1 have met more teachers up here than at Baton Rouge. And the students are just as nice. It's just that you don't see as much of them. LSUS has been very good to me, Purdy said, and I think it's good for a lot of people. I have enjoyed it. 116 • senors Aaron. John Adcock. Sammy Alexander. Harlan AJtoritton. Deborah Aley.

Curtis Senior Highlight Some people make their way through college doing only the minumum necessary to get a degree — no extracurricular activities, no participation except if trapped into it. Get a degree and get out. Then there are those students who feel that college is composed of nothing but extracurricular activities. who think that all-weekend, every-weekend partying is as much a requirement of college as freshman English, if not more so. Ed Jenkins, a senior majoring in marketing, fits neither group. Jenkins, probably like most college students. has paid his dues to the academic side of college while still involving himself in extracurricular activities. What separates Jenkins from most students is the large number of activities with which he has been involved. Jenkins is the founding father” of the LSUS chapter of Phi Delta Theta, has served as vice president of the LSUS College Republicans and has served as vice president of administration for Pi Sigma Epsilon. He has also served as a student member on the commencement and convocation committee and as a recruiting representative for LSUS at his high school. Why has he been involved in so many things? I'm a sucker for a challenge.” Jenkins said. I enjoy pushing myself.” But to Jenkins it's more than simply a challenge. I think of all these things as an opportunity to improve myself,” Jenkins said. In real life terms, these extracurricular activities seem, from what I have experienced, to be at least as valuable as my formal education in terms of what I have learned about myself and about other people. And the extracurricular activities have been the most enjoyable aspect of colege. There's no doubt about that.” S6NOPS • 119 Dene, Joseph Dowling. Patrick DuBose, Charlotte Dunn. Detxe Dupree.

Occassionally, somebody gets one in less time than that. More common, someone takes longer than four years. It can happen for any number of reasons — students drop out of college only to go back later; students switch majors, sometimes causing additional courses to be taken; students work and can go only part time. It's a list that could go on to cover several pages At LSUS there is a large number of students that will not get a bachelor's degree after four years of college. Many have already been to college for that length of time. They ore part-time students. One of those students is Whit Graves, a senior majoring in criminal justice. He has attended college since 1971. For the past six years he's had a fulltime job with the Louisiana State Police. For Graves it's been a long struggle. Yes. I've thought about quitting — lots of times, Graves said, “but each time a new semester rolls around I'm back there again. Although Graves started at LSUS, he transferred twice, the first time to Bossier Parish Community College. the second time to Northwestern State University. Graves said the reason for the transfer to Bossier Parish Community College was to take advantage of some courses they were offering. He said the reason for the transfer to Northwestern was to get away from home. When asked to compare LSUS with Northwestern, Graves said that LSUS has a higher standard. Quite a bit higher. Although Graves said that his plans for the future are to get a promotion, he is also thinking about the possibility of going to law school after he retires from the Louisiana State Police.

SENOGS SENIORS • 125 Senior Highlight Most people probably enter college with the intention of pursuing some sort of career upon graduation. For Verne Foss the situation is somewhat different — he's already had a career. Foss, a communications major, is a senior. He's also a 20-year Air Force veteran, having logged duty time in Spain. Morrocco, Saudi Arabia and all the countries in southeast Asia. Most of those 20 years were spent working with public relations and the media, giving Foss a great deal of practical knowledge in the communications field. With such experience behind him, why did he return to college? Because you can't go there unless you've been there. Foss said. Practical knowledge is given short shrift unless you have academic documentation. I went back to school to get accreditation for what I already knew. Future plans for Foss include obtaining a master's degree in journalism and another undergraduate degree in Mideast studies. The Mideast is something that obviously fascinates Foss. I traveled throughout the Middle East while stationed in Saudi Arabia. Foss said, and became fascinated with the Moslem world. At that time. I wanted to learn more and more about it. Unfortunately, nobody else in the world did. Up until just a few years ago, there was no real curriculum in the United States for that. And now there are only two - one at Columbia University, and one at USC. For Foss, the time spent at LSUS has had several pluses. It's been a broadening experience. Foss said, and school is more fun than it was before, because this time I knew where I wanted to go. M can. Pat Morgan. Waynn Nations. Anthony Oden. Gerald Parker. Patti Perritt. Brenda Poosetgo.

Morrison, a chemistry major, is a senior. His interest in chemistry began early. . “I always liked science in general. Morrison said, but I really enjoyed it when they had the little chemistry things, the little magic shows and things like that. That would really turn me on. And I got curious and started looking into it, Morrison said. Back in junior high school there was a science teacher we used to go in and talk with during lunch. We used to wait around and talk with him. and he'd show us things and teach us a little bit of chemistry. That really got me interested. Morrison's interest didn't wane in high school: I took as much science as I could in high school. Chemistry just really turned me on. Biology was real nice for a while. But. biology just didn't have something; it was too much of the same. Chemistry always had that 'you don't know what's going to happen' aspect. By the time Morrison got to LSUS there wasn't much doubt about what he would major in. And. not surprisingly, he's had not thoughts about changing to another major. I've stayed with chemistry the whole time. Morrison said. I've really enjoyed It. For Morrison, the future appears to be more of the same. He's been accepted to graduate school at the University of New Orleans. 128 • SENORS Thompson. Connie Thompson. Randy Thomhi. Sharon Todd. John Toms. AJan TorVetson. Sandra Triplett. Robert Tuggle.

Presently, two degrees are offered: a master's degree in business administration and a master's degree in education. Dr. Don C. Wilcox, dean of the College of Business Administration and professor of economics, called this, the first year of the MBA program, a resounding success. Wilcox said that because of the new program the college's enrollment had jumped from an over four percent growth rate to a 15 percent growth rate, which was a larger increase than the college expected. Dr. B. E. Tabarlet. dean of the College of Education and professor of education, is also pleased with the “rapid growth of the master's degree in education program at LSUS. Tabarlet said that the program should continue to grow “as local teachers become aware of what we have. Baker John Bonne , undo BamM. Patricio BJockwel. Ruby 130 • GRADUATES Dougherty.

Others slide through life without ever deciding what they want from it; rather than make their way, they stand back and let events structure their course. And then there are those people who take what is available, make the best of the situation, and then jump when the right opportunity presents itself. Thomas Olmsted is such a person. Olmsted, a biology major, is a senior. Like many students at LSUS, he is older than the typical college student. He has a military background, once again a trait common to many students on this campus. But Olmsted is not the typical college senior, whether at LSUS or any other university; unlike most seniors. Olmsted already has a degree. And. also unlike most college graduates. Olmsted's second degree is another undergraduate degree and not a master's degree. And now. even with two degrees close in hand, his education is only about half complete. Olmsted is working towards a new career in medicine and not staying within the bounds of what he has done before, even if it does involve a great expenditure of time and energy. Olmsted is looking toward the day when he will be a doctor. For Olmsted it has been a long road leading to his acceptance next September at the LSU Medical School in Shreveport. He started out as an Old Miss graduate with a degree in business in 1973. Following that were four years in the Navy. After his discharge from the Navy. Olmsted entered LSUS. Now. after three additional years of school, he still faces four years in medical school and approximately three years in internship and residency after that. But. it will be worth it. Olmsted said. “I've thought long and hord about it. GRADUATES • 133 Underclassman Highlight Going to college full time is a lot of work. But some students manage to combine it with lots of participation in campus and community activities. Latonya Turner is a junior majoring in journalism. She is the editor of the Almagest, a member of the Drama Club and Alpha Sigma Omi-cron, and has a part-time job. She is also very active in her community and church. It's just a pert of me to be active and not idle. Turner sdid. “Sometimes it seems like too much, but I'm not the kind of person that can narrow it down. I can't give up anything I'm interested in.

But it is, at least to Marta Davis and the 71 other students enrolled in Army ROTC at LSUS. Davis, a junior majoring in pre-dentistry, was the first woman to join the LSUS ROTC program. She is also a medic in the Army National Guard, and president of Delta Omicrom Mu, the LSUS veterans club. Davis, who served for four years in the Air Force, said she likes ROTC because she enjoys the leadership positions and the physical things we do, like orienteering and running.

Walk down a hall at LSUS when classes are in session and you'll see all kinds — from students past retirement age to students hardly old enough to be out of high school. Ellen Davis a junior majoring in journalism, entered LSUS under the early entrance program in the fan of 1977. She was 16. For Davis, the worst thing about entering college so young was overcoming the cultural shock she experienced after from a small, private high school. At first, for a couple of weeks. I felt so out of place.' Davis said. I was going to school with people old enough to be my grandparents.” 152 • UNDERCLASSMEN Mostronuzzi. Cart Freshman Moths. Brenda Sophomore Mathson.

But for Trang Ngo, a pre-med student as LSUS who fled with her family from Saigon five years ago. the adjustments are not just to college. they're to a new way of life. Although Trang said she did not find adjusting to life in the US hard, she did admit to one problem — speaking English. Professors expect me to think and express my ideas like Americans do and I cannot do it. Trang said. Trang, who lost her mother to cancer, said she plans to enter the field of internal medicine if she is accepted into medical school and would like work towards eliminating the disease. 158 • UNDERCLASSMEN Richardson.

They provide a marked contrast with the typical image of a college student and often disconcert unsuspecting freshmen the first time they enter a classroom — students older than the professors? One of those students is Marguerite Plummer, a junior majoring in communications. She sees a special benefit in having older people attend college. “There needs to be input into student life by mature students, especially in view of the fact that this group makes up a large section of the student body. Participation helps us to see students as individuals — not as young or old or freshmen or seniors. Involvement bridges the generation gap. W amson. Saly Freshman Wison. Michael Freshman Wtoon.
