THE MANIFEST 1980-1981 VOLUME XIV LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY IN SHREVEPORT TABLE OF CONTENTS Faculty And Administration Student Life Classes 16 64 Clubs And Organizations 150 Nancy Griswold Editor Randy Festervand Photo Editor Ellen Davis Copy Editor Pam Brashier Lay-Out Editor New Beginnings A new beginning. Each year we begin anew. There is a new year in January and a new school year in September. At Louisiana State University in Shreveport we began the school year 1980-1981 with several new aspects. After an 18-month search we finally have a new chancellor. Dr. E. Grady Bogue will be at the helm as this institution continues its growth and progress. And this new decade of the 1980s will surely see LSUS expand as never before. The Business and Education building has become a reality. Construction on the Health and Physical Education building has begun. The various buildings, for the first time, have become connected by covered archways. A new director of public information is now on the University staff. We have new professors and new courses. Some members of the faculty and staff have new additions to their families, as well as new dimensions to their professional careers. This year is a new beginning for all freshmen — the beginning of their college careers. Seniors are about to leave behind the hectic, but comfortingly secure, lives of students to begin their own profesional careers — which will almost surely be even more hectic. Or they may have yet more education before them in graduate school. Even so. most will leave LSUS to pursue these academic dreams in Baton : I Rouge, among other places, until our University gains more graduate programs. New experiences will be encountered by students at LSUS as they advance toward their degrees. Those majoring in education may find themselves out in the local academic world where they will be student teaching. Persons majoring in other fields may find that the time for their internships has come. This will place them in a working environment where they will be able to use skills learned in classes. Sorority and fraternity rush also marks new beginnings. During rush the Greek organizations obtain their new members or pledges. These pledges may or may not go on to become initiated members. But rush is the pledge’s new beginning into the Greek life. The community all around the University has experienced change. Close by. what were once cotton fields have now become mushrooming residential areas. Shreveport has a new convention center, and Bossier City has gained the new Le Boss’ier. The state of Louisiana has its first Republican governor in more than ICO years — Dave Treen. Each year LSUS will grow a little bit more. There will always be new professors. new degree programs and new courses every semester. More buildings will grace this campus. And this is excellent. Every year — every semester — should be a new beginning for LSUS. with each new beginning being better than the one before. Faculty And Administration A) Dr. E.

IS • Faculty Administration Bogue Reflects On New Directions LSUS is entering an age of new growth, with a renewed sense of pride and feelings of a new beginning in its second decade. Dr. E. Grady Bogue. LSUS’s new chancellor, intends to channel that growth into quality programs through forceful, but responsive leadership. It pays to be sensitive to all students. and to treat them with a sense of dignity and challenge. he said. “The quality of a student's education is my biggest concern. Since coming to LSUS in July 1980. Bogue. 44. has been busy getting acquainted with the community's needs as well as the University’s needs. A native of Memphis. Tenn.. Bogue has found that Shreveport has much to offer him and his family. It's a town of great vitality — a town not so big that you can't get to know people. he said. Bogue received all his degrees at Memphis State University — a bachelor’s in mathematics and science, a master's in curriculum and education, and a doctorate of education in education administration. Most recently before coming to LSUS. he was associate director of academic affairs with the Tennessee Higher Education Commis sion. The new chancellor stresses quality, not quantity. As far as new depart ments go. he said it is not likely that we will have a geology department or any similar expansion any time soon We will see what we can do well, and we will do it well. he said. Let s not splatter ourselves all over the academic landscape. But Bogue does plan to improve existing programs. We have only one full-time professor in music this area needs improvement. He also concedes that the night school courses need to be expanded, along with the services offered at night. Concerning the priorities assigned to certain departments. Bogue spoke of facts and feelings. Fact — the business school has a new MBA program and increased enrollment and is way over due for new faculty members Rut my feelings are that liberal arts are the foundation for informal leadership in every field. My role is to respect and honor all fields of study and to expect the best performance in return. Bogue has planned a sober look at the costs and benefits of an intercollegiate sports program and will set up a feasibility study concerning football and other sports. He said that basketball would be the most promising” of any future sports. Dormitories, said Bogue. would have to be put off until other more urgent needs are taken care of. especially the proposed Administration Building and the Fine and Performing Arts Building. Meeting and getting to know other administrators has opened Bogue's eyes to certain problems and ideas. He said he would not be uneasy” about the idea of a shared degree program or desegregation policy with Southern University. Bogue acknowledged the fact that LSUS has only one black faculty member, and he hopes to hire more minorities to fill faculty positions. But Bogue's central plan as chancellor is to elevate the vision of students and others in the community. Learning is an ongoing process and something we should all be involved in at all times. he said. Faculty Admimsiraiion • 19 Coordinators Of The Campus If you’ve never been lo Dr. Gary Bra-shier's office, that could be a good sign. As vice chancellor for academic affairs. Brashier handles student complaints among many other things. But Brashier primarily deals with the school's instructional program and the resources to support that program. According to Brashier. it is possible that LSUS could soon offer undergraduate degrees in public administration, public relations and health and physical education. Our continued growth will be due in large part to the types of programs we offer. he said. He also mentioned tentative plans for graduate programs in psychology, computer science and humanities. Brashier said we may soon have more courses in drama and music. We hope to expand in these areas even further when the Fine and Performing Arts Building is completed.” The faculty is a great source of pride for Brashier. and he calls them his main resource in scheduling courses. He has no problem relating to the faculty since he first started working at LSUS teaching chemistry. But Brashier doesn't spend all of his time in the realm of academia. You might find him tending to any number of his 300 rose plants. As an accredited judge for the American Rose Society. he has judged shows all over the South, and has won over 3.000 ribbons in competition over the last 10 years. Dr. A. J. Howell, vice chancellor for business affairs, has been an integral part of the growth of LSUS. He began as business manager when the University itself consisted of nothing more than crossed fingers and hopeful dreams. It was 1966 and what was to be LSUS was nothing more than a cotton patch down Highway I. In those days they met each work day at the Line Avenue School, planning and beginning a future that began for students the following year. The number of years is short, yet so much has been accomplised. In the fall of 1967 LSUS’s first students came to a campus consisting only of part of the present physical plant - the Library, the Sciences Building and the Power Plant. The campus has expanded a great deal for such a short time and from such a meager beginning, and that, more than anything, is what keeps Howell enthusiastic about his job. It’s a challenge.” Howell said. The growth of the University has out paced what we thought it would be.” LSUS is not standing still.” he said. The University Center added a new dimension to the campus and the health and physical education building will open up opportunities. That excites me.” We have a five-year capital outlay program in which we are going to ask for an administration building, a fine and performing arts building and a continuing education and public service building, as well as renovation of the Library. Howell said. I enjoy being in a college setting. Dr. Jimmie Smith, vice chancellor for student affairs, said. He said he enjoys working with both faculty and students alike. Smith is responsible to the chancellor for all student activities and organizations. Policy recommendations co-cerning student life are another aspect of his job. He works with the Student Government Association, as well as with the Student Affairs Committee. The latter develops policies and regulations for the conduct of student organizations. Also his office is in charge of supervising the campus police and planning high school relations activities. Other activities for which Smith is responsible are freshman orientation, student financial aid. student health and counseling services, and intramural sports. Smith names snow skiing as one of his hobbies. This year was his fourth or fifth” in a row to go on the ski trip to Breckenridge. In addition to enjoying himself on the trip, he also coordinated aspects of it. He handled reservations. worked with the travel agent, and encouraged the reluctant to try the slopes. His basic job was maneuvering the group to places on time. Smith said he spends a great deal of time with his family. His wife. Gwen, is an instructor in the College of Business Administration. They have a 14-year-old daughter Stacey and a 5-year-old son Stuart. 30 • Faculty Administration A) Dr. Jimmie Smith and his secretary Dot Scripture. B) Dr. A. J. Howell in his office. C) Dr. Gary K.

Financial Aid Helps Students The Student Financial Aid office is in charge of more than just supplying students with assistance in meeting the cost of attending college, according to Edgar L. Chase, its director. Often this office is a new student's first contact with the University. Chase and Joanne Sullivan, assistant director of financial aid and high school relations, are also in charge of recruiting students from local high schools. They supply information on academics, student organizations and activities, financial aid. school programs and the admissions process to prospective students. Chase said his office is in charge of informing students about what financial aid is available and how to obtain it. He has screening interviews with interested students to help them select the program for which they should apply. In the fall of 1980 the LSUS Merit Scholarships rose from $150 to $400. The scholarships were raised to be more competitive with other schools. This was possible because the LSUS enrollment had increased significantly and the state funding program had increased the University's funding. Sullivan is the first assistant director in this office and began work in April 1980. The office was expanded because the number of students at the University has tripled since Chase began his duties in 1974. Also the office just needed more help. Sullivan does much of the actual recruiting at the high schools and said she enjoys talking to the students. A) Ed Chase ha been director of the student aid office since 1974. B) Joanne Sullivan became the first assistant director in April I9S0. C) Chase explains financial aid options to a student. D) Sullivan does much of the high school recruiting. 23 • Faculty Administration Buying At The Bookstore The LSUS Bookstore, managed by Freta S. Daniel, is keeping up with the growth and the needs of the students and faculty. As the school grows, so grows the bookstore, said Daniel. The paperback sections will be further expanded to include not only the best-sellers, but also certain exam study guides. But Daniel stressed the fact that the majority of the sales are in textbooks. Among the new items the bookstore stocks are art supplies ( But they often don’t sell well.”) and foreign language books and novels. There have been problems concerning the availability of certain books. When other local colleges run out of certain textbooks. they call us.” Daniel said. We had a problem with a certain chemistry text once — students from other schools bought out our supplies. This is a problem that is difficult to correct and control, she said. Concerning the possible expansion of hours. Daniel said there is no demand for opening early in the morning or late at night. We opened Monday nights at the beginning of the semester. but it is hardly worth paying the electricity bills to sell a pencil,” she said. Daniel acknowledges the fact that prices are high for textbooks today but said it is impossible to measure the value of texts in terms of dollars and cents. For students who view their books as learning tools and permanent references. texts are a lasting and lifelong investment.” she said. Campus Police Being a campus policeman at LSUS is not going to rate very high in a list of the world’s most exciting professions, and that’s just fine with Claude Overlease. chief of campus police. We’ve been very fortunate compared to other campuses.” Overlease said. We've gotten very little trouble from our students and have not had much crime on campus.” My goal is to work with the students. Overlease said. We have a damn good bunch of kids out here. I hope they feel the same way about us. To Overlease, being a campus policeman is more than writing tickets and patrolling the campus. It’s opening car doors for students who have locked themselves out. And jumping dead batteries. To Overlease, being a campus cop is helping the people who make up the University. Although LSUS is a long way from being crime city, there are problems. Traffic control has been one of our biggest headaches since I've been here. Overlease said. One of our main goals is to cut down accidents. We do give a lot of traffic citations. The tickets must work. Overlease said there have been no major accidents since he came to work at LSUS. and he has been here since the school began in 1967. At that time Overlease was the only campus policeman and worked without a car. Now LSUS has a total of six policemen who provide 24-hour coverage every week. As the campus grows, we are going to have to grow with it.” he said. A) Claude Overlcase i chief of the Campu Police. 8) Phare Jackson, a member of the Campu Police, on duty in the parking lot. C) Claude Overlease help student who lock their key in their cars. D) He alto gives tickets. 24 • Faculty Administration Library To Expand We're all looking forward to the expansion of the library when the College of Business Administration moves to its new building, but Library Director Malcolm G. Parker says it may take a full year to renovate the second floor first. When the renovations are complete. Parker says he will move half of the 130.000 volumes upstairs. He added that he may concentrate on building up the education and business sections for the second floor, but said that the library is continually expanding all of the sections. We receive books daily, practically every day. Parker said. And he said that with the renovation and new space he can get many of the volumes out of storage. We started out 14 years ago in the old Line Avenue School.” Parker said, and we had only 4,700 volumes. I’m most proud of the way we have built our collection.” Everyone uses the library for term papers and the like, but what is the least used section of the library? The government documents.” Parker said. It is a matter of knowing about it. But they should be used for the great wealth of information there.” A) Albon Robinson checks books before students leave the library. 8) Sue E. Brown searches for a book in the reference section.

Facully Administration 25 Placement Office If you need information and help in exploring various career opportunities within your major, or if you are unsure about which electives to take to supplement your degree, then the placement office is the place to go. The office maintains folders for each graduate which contain resume forms, legal releases from the students and valid recommendations. The folder is available to the student on request for job interviews. Phyllis B. Graham, director of the office, stresses the importance of reaching every student as early in his college career as possible. She said that most students have no contact with the placement office until they apply for degrees as seniors. It is too late by that time, she said, for the office to help them in selecting elective courses that would have made their degrees more marketable. Graham mentioned management and oral communications electives as the most valuable supplements to any degree. Dan Smith, Xerox branch marketing manager, said that he looks for graduates with good verbal skills and a generally well-rounded education. He said that the best job prospects are those graduates who can communicate well in all areas of study. The placement office is growing right along with the student population. and Graham listed soundproof interview rooms, audio-visual aids and courses in interviewing skills as some of the ideas the office has for future expansion. I don’t see that we can go any way but up. Graham said. A) Phyllis 8. Graham, director of the placement office. B) Bowen Stewart is interviewed by Don Smith of Xerox Corporation. C) Bab Skains. the secretary with the placement office. 36 • Facully Administration Fryer Is New PR Officer LSUS is a youthful university, and the man that sits behind the desk in the information services office reflects that vigorous and energetic image. Joel Fryer fits in well. Fryer. 24. has been director of public information since May 1980. filling a position that had been vacant for over a year. And he likes his new home. People are a little more laid back here in Shreveport than they are in Nashville. he said. I feel good here.” In addition to taking care of the usual public relations business. Fryer is taking over the LSUS catalog. It’s a progressional project. he said. The cover design will change — something a bit more graphic — but the inside will basically remain the same.” Fie has also resumed the in-staff newsletter, complete with a new name: the Sextant. It’s just a vehicle to let folks know what their colleagues are doing.” Fryer said. Fryer went to college at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville. Tenn.. majoring in English and philosophy ( because they didn't offer journalism ). While in college, he survived as a free-lance photographer for various ad agencies. He also played guitar and mandolin in a bluegrass band. Today. Fryer just scoots around Shreveport on his Honda 650 custom, and tries to make time for hunting and fishing. That is. when he’s not working. When he is working, he sees public relations as a community-oriented service. I’m not a propagandist.” Fryer said. In pursuit of our mission as a university, the most important thing we can do is offer our services to the community. A)-D) Joel Fryer in hi office.

Without them, who would keep spare keys for faculty members who lock their office doors with their keys left in the coat pocket hanging on the coat rack inside the office? And who else could get enough copies run off for a 9 a.m. test when the professor didn't finishing making it until 8:50? Or answer the phone 10 times while typing a single page? Secretaries, to say the least, are indispensable. They keep the department heads headed in the right direction. They make the coffee that keeps the faculty going from day to day. They bring the cakes and other goodies to celebrate departmental birthdays. babies and promotions.

Services are provided to eligible veterans through the coordinated efforts of administrative and support agencies which are both on and off campus. Some of these agencies are the Placement Office. Financial Aid and the Registrar's Office. Sanders helps veterans get the assistance they need. He will help find tutors or counselors, depending upon the need, if he feels he is not qualified to provide the needed help. Outreach and recruitment programs establish contact with veterans interested in continuing their educations. In order to do this, close contact is maintained with the education offices at Barksdale and England Air Force bases, and Ft. Polk Army Base. In 1979 more than 1.500 veterans were served by this office and about 50 more were referred to other agencies. A)-C) Edgar Sander , coordinator of Veteran Affair . advi c a veteran.

College Of Business Administration The College of Business Administration has been taking care of business — in more ways than one — and has attracted many new students with its new programs and equipment. Dr. Don C. Wilcox, dean of the College of Business Administration. saw the need for a direct liason between the local business community and LSUS business students. In response to that need, he formed the Executive Advisory Council, a group composed of area businessmen concerned with the future of business in Shreveport. The council plans a scholarship program of $1,000 a year for entering freshman and indirectly may be responsible for providing jobs for business graduates. The new master's degree program in business is now established and growing. Wilcox reported that ISO students were enrolled in the fall of 1980. But it's just a beginning, he said. Dr. Beth Whatley, coordinator of the Department of Office Administration, is pleased with the new word processing equipment in her department. The computer is used as a complement to the old methods of typing and shorthand. she said. In addition to the word processing computer, certain advanced business students now have the opportunity to work with Tempomatic IV. a computer system that simulates actual business conditions. Through Tempomatic IV. students can deal with hiring, firing, buying and selling, all in the privacy of the classroom. Inflation and market conditions take their toll on the simulated companies much as it does in the real world of business. Of course the big news in the College of Business Adminis-I tration. for faculty and students alike, is the new Business I Administration Education Building, completed for the spring I semester. The growth of the college seems sure to continue. I and the new building will more than adequately provide for I the future expansion of all the departments. Faculty Admmistration • Jl Hatcher Helps SPD How can a business and management professor get involved in the community while staying within his academic field? Dr. Jere Hatcher accomplishes this by working with the Shreveport Police Department on a public service poll. The poll was designed by the police chief to find out what local citizens think about the local police and to get suggestions from the community as to how to increase efficiency within the department. Telephone numbers will be picked randomly by South Central Bell. Hatcher will then analyze the results by computer. Hatcher, who worked with a local actuarial firm before coming to LSUS. continues to consult for that company. He is also involved with the Data Processing Managers Association, a local organization involved with improvements and advancements in computers. A)-E) Dr. Jere Hatcher answers questions while being interviewed. John Bert on Phil Burch luvonia Casper son Melvin W Harm Jere Hatcher John Marts 32 • Faculty Administration ABD’s Working on a dissertation is demanding in itself. Combining work on a dissertation with teaching classes is a bit more stressful, however. Yet several professors at this university are doing exactly that. Ed N. Willman. assistant professor of marketing and management, is looking at the distribution used in quality control in his dissertation. He is examining how the hypergeometric mass function can be approximated by a curve. It's a statistical type of dissertation, he said. He hopes to come up with new rules by which one can determine when the hypergeometric can be used. The fruits of his labor over his dissertation may be of use to those in quality control. Willman said. Probably no one else cares. he said, but that's how it is with dissertations. John Vassar is also an assistant professor of marketing and management. He too came to work at LSUS in the fall of 1980. His dissertation is on the application of the materials management concept to the health care industry. He is looking at the purchasing function in hospitals and whether it's utilized. The concept is the system’s approach to bringing control of materials flow through the hospital. Cliff Miller, assistant professor of management and marketing, said of his dissertation that he had not gotten into it yet” as of November. He was uncertain still of his exact topic but had several suggestions which he was seriously considering. He was looking into the possibility of doing his dissertation in the field of education with some statistical applications. A) John Vassar hopes to finish his dissertation by spring 1981. 8) Ed N. Willman hopes to complete his by May 1981. C) Cliff Miller began his dissertation recently! his goal is to have his done in about two years. C.

If you know, mention it to Janie Flynt. assistant professor of accounting. Since her move to Shreveport a couple of years ago. she has not been able to resume her hobby because she has not found any sites good for searching. Flynt got interested in fossil collecting through a friend and a college geology course. Geology is a fascinating thing and a science just about anyone can enjoy.” says Flynt. Which seems to be true, since her husband and two children, ages 9 and II. have joined in on her hobby. Some of their most interesting finds are leaf prints, fossilized bone, trilo-bites (extinct marine arthropods), and ammonites (spiral shells of cephalo-pods). Most of their hunting was done in west Texas along road sites, excavation sites, an old chalk pit and an abandoned coal mine. Fossil collecting truly became a family affair when her children would gather up any fossil in sight, even if there were 400 duplicates at home. They now sort through the collections and take some of their fossils to school with them. Flynt feels this hobby has been a good influence on her children. It has encouraged her ll-year-old son to read. Fie may read only fossil books, but he does read, she said. A) Fossils arc Janie Flynt's hobby. B) Flynt explains how she became interested in fossil collecting. C) Flynt exhibits her collection of fossils. D) The collection includes ammonites and trilobites. 34 • Faculty Administration Berton Plays Games No. Tempomatic IV is not something you grate carrots with or watch television on — it's a computer simulation, a game. And Dr. John Berton’s class in business policies and strategies is one place where playing games is OK. as long as the game is Tempomatic IV. Berton, chairman of the department of management and marketing, said that the purpose of the game is to bring all aspects of business into focus.” But what is Tempomatic IV? The game consists of teams of students (usually three students to a team) who represent management teams. These teams manufacture a product and sell it. paying close attention to market conditions (supplied by the Business Week Index), personnel problems and product demand data. The teams are in competition with each other for a piece of the market, and every team makes its own decisions regarding the companies. How well studei.t teams do in the game depends on how well they can survive the everyday problems in management that they encounter in the game. Berton said that the game offers students an opportunity to experience the problems of top management in a company firsthand, and that it allows the students to incorporate all of the knowledge they have picked up in various courses over the years. And one more good point — the students don't have to worry about human error in computing their scores in the game and class. Tempomatic IV grades itself. A)-B) Dr. John Berton discusses the use of computer game in business courses. Faculty Admlnlstration • 35 LSUS Santa He doesn't have a red suit or a long white beard but he does give gifts of candy and candles to good little boys and girls. He doesn't climb down a chimney to deliver presents on Christmas Day. but he and his family have several stores where they make presents and wrap gifts, with some help from their elves. Who is this man who seems so similar to Santa? It's jolly old Mr. C.R. McPherson, assistant to the vice chancellor for Academic Affairs, affectionately known as Mr. Mac. This pseudo-Santa was greatly influenced by his father from whom he inherited the family hardware store. At the age of 16 he became manager of a million dollar business and had already become involved with his favorite hobby. BB-gun collecting. I have about 200 of them ranging from ten dollars to two hundred dollars.” said McPherson. Collecting baseball caps is another hobby he is involved in and for good reason. He coached collegiate baseball at West Texas State College for ten years and played pro ball for a number of years with the New York Giants baseball team. In spite of his dignified campus image. C.R. McPherson has many fascinating qualities which complement his rather unique hobbies. Would you believe that he once sold 200.000 army surplus potato mashers and wishes he had them back again, that he never borrowed a dollar in his life, that he once owned 1.500 acres of land in East Texas where the first Blackburn syrup was made, that he pitched for three semi-pro baseball teams to pay for college expenses, that he supplied two truck loads of equipment for the movie The Alamo? Yes. believe itl C.R. McPherson is all this and more. A student arrives to register after the faculty has left. She's crying. Mr. Mac consoles her. gets her registered, and gives her one of his candles and sends her on her way. This is Mr. Mac. So ... maybe if you do all your homework, attend classes regularly, and leave some milk and cookies outside his door. LSUS's Santa will give you some candy or a candle.

Administration Marts’ Mobile Imagine a '51 Buick Roadmaster station wagon pulling up beside you at a stop light. You see the wood paneling and tailgate and wonder if it is real. Would you roll down your window or even get out of your car to knock on the wood to see if it were real? The owner of the car. Dr. John Marts, chairman of the Department of Accounting, says that many people have done just that. The wood is real and it makes the car an eye-catcher and somewhat of a hazard to drive. Marts bought this eye-catcher two years ago as an investment. He wanted a car that was driveable and that would go up in value instead of down. He says the value of classic cars in good condition goes up about 20 percent each year. Although he has plans to sell this classic, he also has plans to buy another one, a '65 Mustang. His reason for buying the Mustang is the same he wants a driveable investment. Marts says the only drawback to having a classic for a second family car is finding parts for it. Locating parts is difficult because he has to go through warehouses around the country and still may not find what he is looking for. He says the phone calls end up costing more than the parts.

Tabarlet’s life for a long time. Tabarlet. the dean of the College of Education, began his career in the 1950s by teaching social studies at Jonesboro High School in Jackson Parish. Several years later he became a faculty member at Louisiana Tech, and then in I96S. after ten more years. Tabarlet came to LSUS. LSUS was a new school then, only in its second year of existence. The inevitable growth pangs any new institution experiences were readily apparent at the time. And the pay wasn’t too hot either. I know a lot of people that took pay cuts to come from high school to teach at LSUS when it first opened.” Tabarlet said. Most of us came because we thought it had potential and a lot of possibility.” The prediction of the early faculty members was right on target. In five years, the school had begun the change from a two-year to a four-year insittution. The year of transition for the school was 1973. For the first time, there was a junior class. That was also the year the University was organized into five colleges. The potential and possibilities had come through for Tabarlet. That year, he became a dean. But for Tabarlet and the College of Education, the possibilities didn't end there. In 1978. the Louisiana State Legislature established a requirement that anyone applying for a teaching certificate would have to make a satisfactory score on a test designed to measure his qualifications. The State Department of Education chose the National Teacher Exam as the test and decided on the minimum scores allowed. Since that time, education majors at LSUS have compiled an enviable record — 95 percent of those taking the test have passed it. It is. according to Tabarlet. the highest percentage scored for that period by a state-supported college or university in Louisiana and compares favorably with the best scores of private institutions in the state. There are more bright spots — like the department's graduate program. It’s doing real fine. Tabarlet said. The program now has about XX) students with about X -25 graduating per year. And then there are two more bright spots — the move into a new building to house the colleges of education and business administration and the beginning of construction of a 55.25 million health and physical education complex. I think the new building will be a tremendous boost to LSUS. Tabarlet said. With its completion we will be able to do things for both the students and the community. A) Dr. B. E.

He and Rhonda Atwood appear on the show answering questions to common psychological problems. The idea for the spot evolved when Carol Linham. the show's producer, wanted the show to have greater emphasis on serving the community. She conducted a talent search, and Mark Vigen, psychologist and professor, became Mark Vigen, actor. Ideas for the segments come from Vigen's students, viewers who write in and Vigen. Atwood, and Linham themselves. Rhonda gives us practical ideas from her background as a wife and mother. I supply the psychological information and Carol shows us how to best present our ideas on TV. Vigen said. Vigen says he has learned through his association with the show how important it is to be able to present a great deal of information clearly in a very short time segment.” He said.

She said she sews primarily for herself but also for her mother and her children — who are now grown. Decker said she first began sewing out of necessity. What is her favorite among all the things she has sewn? A designer dress she wore for her daughter's wedding, she said. It was made of sheer crepe and had 36 tucks. Economically sewing is great. She said she can. at a cost of about S70. make a dress which would otherwise cost several hundred dollars. Decker grew up in Anchorage. Alaska. She married fairly young” and raised her family before starting college at the age of 29. She has also operated a ham radio for more than 20 years. She said she talks to her parents twice a weeki they live in Florida. Decker enjoys ham radio immensely. She said she feels more comfortable talking for 30 minutes on radio than on telephone.

Silverman has about 20.000 stamps in his collection. He said be began this hobby as a young boy. On rainy afternoons he would climb onto a chair and rummage through boxes on the upper shelves of his closet. He found the stamp collection of his late uncle. He became interested and started collecting in the third or fourth grade. His mother and younger brother also became interested in collecting. His mother has the largest of the three collections! hers is in the 40.000 to 50.000 stamp range. He rates his collection in the middle range. It's larger than a child's teeny-weeny collection” but smaller than the enormous collections of people who buy entire collections for only 40 to 50 stamps and then sell duplicates as dealers. Silverman also plays the harmonica but only for personal entertainment and for friends. His first public performance was last year at Summerfield Elementary School where he played for 90 kindergarteners with the head of his department. Dr. Joe Green, who played guitar. He enjoys cooking too. from gourmet to down-home style. He said. I love working with leftovers.

It can be something one eats or it may be someone who shows off. Dr. Ken Purdy, associate professor of health and physical education, is no show off and would have a hard time eating this ham ... because it is a ham radio. Purdy became interested in ham radios during World War II. but had to put aside his interest due to the ban on all ham radio operations. It was only eight years ago that he renewed his operator’s license, and has been going strong ever since. He considers ham radio operating a hobby with practical value. His radio can be used for emergency service and tracking satellites. He is mainly interested in the electronics end of it and says he has learned a great deal such as radio propagation, atmospheric propagation, and geography. Purdy considers ham radio operating to be less challenging now than in the past, because units are no longer built from kits. Ham radio operation is a year-round hobby and is not restrained by weather, but sun spot activity can be a problem. Most of all it's just a good way to relax. said Purdy. As a teacher who enjoys ham radio operating as a hobby. Purdy can have his ham and eat it too. • 4 • Faculty 'AiJmirmtr.ition Morgan Aids Strokers Our communications department works with adults and children. said Dr. Alice Morgan, associate professor of speech. One prime concern is communication impairment associated with strokes. In addition to her work in the LSUS Communication Center. Morgan is also a consultant with Stroke Hope, an organization devoted to helping victims of strokes recover use of their faculties. She is an avid supporter of stroke clubs, organizations geared toward helping families of stroke victims work as a unit with the stroke victim in adjusting to the situation. Members of stroke clubs. Morgan says, are people who are regaining communication skills. As a sponsor of the Shreveport stroke club and Stroke Hope, she finds materials and offers guidance if strokers. as stroke victims in the club refer to themselves, feel they need more than Stroke Hope can offer. She also works with the stroke clubs and the American Heart Association to provide information to the public about strokes and their effects. Morgan is working on a series of five tapes for public viewing on strokes and strokers. The first tape was broadcast by Cablevision in December. These tapes feature doctors discussing strokes from a medical viewpoint, as well as discussions with strokers who have recovered some degree of their language skills. Morgan said she became interested in Stroke Hope because her specialty in speech therapy is neurologically-im-paired adults whose conditions are the results of tumors, trauma or stroke. She stresses that stroke clubs can help counteract the shock after a family has been told that a relative has suffered a stroke. These clubs meet once a month and have speakers on a variety of topics of interest. A) Dr. Alice Morgan speaking with a siroker and his wife.

What these disciplines are concerned with is the quality of our life in a private sense and communal life.” she said. An example of this would be poetryi it has personal meaning for the individual as well as being part of a larger cultural world. For these reasons faculty members in Liberal Arts are very active in the local community. The college has three proposed programs which will emphasize civic and policy roles of the faculty. The development of a public radio station in cooperation with the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce is one of these. This project is still in the planning stages and will be a few years in the making. I hope you'll be featuring the radio station in the yearbook in a few years. McBride said. Once the station is established on campus it will initially be housed in Bronson Hall until the Fine and Performing Arts building is constructed. Funding for this building will be requested this year, she said. Two degree programs in the planning stages are in the fields of public relations and public administration. The two proposed programs are due to be sent to the Board of Regents for approval this year. The public relations program will be part of the Department of Communications. Since it will emphasize writing, the English department will be closely involved in this program. The public administration program is designed to train individuals to work with the government at the parish and state levels. If approved, it will be a joint venture with the College of Business Administration. This demonstrates the way political science, history, co-munications and literature address society's needs. McBride said in relation to the proposed programs.

Their resources have hardly been tapped. However, they are proving themselves to be well worth prospecting. Their value cannot be assessed in dollars and cents, but by the gifts and talents that they offer to LSUS and to its studnets. Let's go prospecting. These gold mines are Norma Jean Locke and Barbara Ann Locke, instructors in music. The twins were born in Shreveport. Louisiana, and demonstrated an interest in the fine arts at a young age. They attended Ward-Belmont College for two years, receiving diplomas in voice and piano. They then received their bachelors and masters degrees at Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. Their early music careers were in church work. Later, they set off for the bright lights of stardom, and were offered lucrative performing contracts. But they rejected all offers and pursued teaching careers. In the fall of 1979. Norma Jean was selected to conduct the LSUS chorale. Barbara Ann joined her the following year as LSUS's first instructor in piano. When asked about the music program at LSUS. Norma Jean said. We've already begun. We started with the chorus and added music appreciation. music theory, music education. and piano classes.” Now the department has the finest equipment available: electronic pianos, robes, and risers. It's been slow, but we're now building.” said Barbara Ann. Their ambition is to form a two-year music program which will be transferable nationwide. Their dreams for LSUS will become realizable when the fine arts building is completed. What a findl Our school is rich! It is the responsibility of the faculty and students to take full advantage of what the Locke twins have to offer.

And how will he perform the role of father to Karen Ann? I would be one of those parents that would encourage her to read.” Loftin said. She’s got some brains that are going to be developed. David Horner, assistant professor of fine arts, has quite a different idea about his new role as parent to his daughter. Elizabeth D'Arcy. Since it would be impossible for him and his wife. Jerry, to alter their busy schedules. Horner said Elizabeth will have to learn to hang in with our schedules.” She made two trips to New Orleans. a trip to Houston, two trips to Ruston and a trip to Dallas, all in the first few months of her life,” Horner said.

After Leitz finished his previous book, the Selected Letters of William Dean Howells. Volume 3. he needed a new project. He got together with Earl Labor, professor of English at Centenary. and they came up with the London idea. After getting a research grant, they teamed with Milo Shepard, the executor of the Jack London estate, and gained exclusive access to letters written by London himself. They have about 4.0CO-5.000 of London's letters and will select the best 1.200 and hope to reflect on his personal and professional life. They expect to have the best biographical portrait ever written on London. They hope to fill in all the gaps in London's life that haven't been written about.

McLaurin said she got interested in the game soon after she came to LSUS. about six years ago. Dean Mary Ann McBride and some other LSUS professors invited her out to play a set. Since she was new and didn't know very many people, she accepted, even though she had never done more than hit a few balls.” she said. I beat Dean McBride 6-0. 6 0 and I've been playing ever since. I find tennis mentally stimulating: I enjoy the physical activity. I love being able to take out aggression on tennis, especially hard-hitting overhead serves. I've never enjoyed spending my days sitting in an office.” she said, adding that she is active in other sports, as well. These include judo, which she practices in the mornings before school, and running. She tries to play tennis at least four times a week. Does tennis interfere with teaching?

This group's main function is to sponsor a workshop each spring for area Suzuki students. Last spring Bright took pictures and wrote an article about the workshop for Art Beat, a monthly publication of the Shreveport Regional Arts Council. All the violin students played in concert for the arts council on Nov. 24. They perform three or four local concerts per year, and all their pieces are committed to memory.

The University now has only a batch processing terminal which relies on the computer system at LSU-Baton Rouge. The system LSUS is due to receive means locally we'll have a large computing capacity.” Moss said the computer system will be housed on the first floor of the Business Administration-Education Building. He expects that we will quickly expand the number of terminals in various departments. Within seven years there could be almost 60 terminals on campus. The new computer system will cross departmental lines. Moss said. It will be used in laboratory science to process datai it will also be a tool in teaching elementary English and mathematics. We’ll try to supply terminals to wherever people want and need them, Moss said. In general we’re looking at improved Allied Health offerings. the dean said. There are plans to revise and expand the curriculum. We always have to change to meet the changes in sciences.” he added. Among the new courses being considered for the college is one in clinical chemistry for medical techniques. This would emphasize techniques involved in chemistry tests performed at hospitals) it would be more of an applied course. Moss said. The future may hold a pre-engineering program in store for the college, as well. Moss said they hope to offer two to three semesters of an engineering curriculum which would include engineering drawing and statics (physics applied to engineering). He said they already offer some mathematics and physics courses which would be included in such a program. Special lecturers or part-time faculty would be a unique property of this curriculum. Another project in the developmental stages is a biological chemistry program. Another new development in the college is an honors course on theoretical physics in philosophy. Moss, a professor of physics, and Dr. Donald Sanderson, a professor of philosophy, teach the class jointly. Of the course Moss noted that the influence of physics on philosophy is very profound.” What does Moss see in the future for his college? Although he admits it isn’t realistic, he would like to see another science-related college established — perhaps one focusing on applied sciences. But. he said, it would be expensive.

Collins established the Booster Club in 1978. during which time there was the prevailing fear that Shreveport might lose the franchise. Membership has now jumped from 50 to 200 people during the length of the club's two-year existence. Each year, at the beginning of the baseball season, the club puts on the Booster Club Barbecue at the Knights of Columbus Hall. But winning is the best promotion. Collins said, adding that a new manager and players may insure a better season in 1981. He said. We have really fine athletes. It’s more than a simple record of wins and losses.” Collins has regularly attended the ball games since moving to Shreveport from Monroe in 1968 but said that he travelled to Shreveport all his life to see the games. He has attended 80 to 85 percent of all the Captains games from 1969 up until the present. On the question of a new stadium for the Captains. Collins said he was not too optimistic since the voters turned down the bid for the money on the last ballot. The Booster Club is also involved in many other civic activities, unrelated to baseball games. C-BARC and the American Rose Center have both benefited from funds raised by the club. Dr. Frank Collins is only one of many ISUS faculty members who actively support Shreveport Captains baseball by both faithful attendance at games and by membership in the Booster Chib. 56 • Faculty Administration A B) Dr. John Hall in the lab.

I’d rather be doing other things.” he said. Other things” include traveling, both in the United States and in Europe. taking pictures of the agriculture in the places he travels to and gardening. Hall is also the advisor for the LSUS Agriculture Club which was established to promote interest and participation in the interests of modern agriculture.”Hall finds his work with the club enjoyable and interesting. He added that the club’s recent activities include sending two judging teams to the State Fair and sponsoring a dance and barbecue at LSUS. Hall, who has been at LSUS since the university opened 14 years ago. teaches biology and classes in agriculture, such as basic animal and plant courses, animal nutrition, soil and livestock breeds. He is obviously proud of the school’s current two-year agricultural program. This program encompasses about 30 different fields of study, including farming, landscaping and agricultural economics. The current program enables the student to complete through his sophomore year at LSUS and then go on to another university. I ve always enjoyed living and working on a farm.” he says. I was born and raised on a farm in Stonewall and that's where I feel best. Farmers are the backbone of our nation.” he says. Faculty Administration • 57 Computer Science Expands LSUS’ computer science degree program is in its second year and has undergone considerable expansion. Carol Hall, assistant professor of mathematics. said the program had only 15 students its first year. Now there are about 330 students. Hall said she pushed for the program for 10 years. Why? Because, she said, computers are here, a part of our society. In order to use computers successfully one must know about them, she said. Students should at least be exposed to computers. Hall said. The University has been pressured by local businessmen who need employees with computer skills, she said. The first three computer science majors graduated in December. One had plans to attend graduate school while the other two had job offers. There are two programs. The four-year program results in a bachelor of science degree in computer science. The two-year program results in an associate degree. Hall said she received her undergraduate degree in organic chemistry. When her husband went to graduate school she did likewise and received a master's degree in mathematics. She took a computer science course as an elective and became hooked on it.

Long before the sport reached its current popular status. Barron Tabor, assistant professor of mathematics, could be seen running at noontime around the perimeter of the campus. He says he has been running since he was in college. Distance runners are somewhat ri-tuatlistic about getting in their daily runs and in keeping track of their mileage on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis. Tabor says his runs average 8 to 10 miles a day. about four times a week, and that his total 1980 mileage was 1.762. Tabor says there are several aspects about running he enjoys, but he especially likes the camaraderie with other runners. At LSUS he has often run with Dr. John Powell, who served as president of the Red River Runners in 1980. On Saturdays Tabor meets with friends at Betty Virginia Park or the Clyde Fant Parkway for training runs as long as 16 to 20 miles. Tabor said he also enjoys the competition running offers and has participated in several area races this year. I think the half marathon is my favorite race distance. Tabor said. He has also run three full marathons — 26 miles. 385 yards — the last of which was in December 1978. Tabor is a member of the local running club, the Red River Runners, and considers his membership as a way to get to know the other runners.” He said. There's been talk of an LSUS running club several times. I’d like to see the faculty and students get involved in something like that together.” Barron Tabor note that distance running has acquired a new definition in the past few years. When he ran for the track team at ISU-Baton Rouge, distance meant three or four miles. Faculty Admmistration • 59 Birdmen At LSU-S What do an English professor, a history professor and a biology professor have in common? Well, if you’re talking about Dr. Lake. Dr. Finley and Dr. Lynch, the answer is aves — or, to the layman, birds. Dr. James H. Lake can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about pigeons (but were afraid to ask) since he has been interested in the birds since childhood. He now keeps 12 pairs of breeding pigeons (six pairs of silver and blue fantail and six pairs of white) and several pet pigeons in the loft in back of his Highland home. And Lake has some unusual breeds, including the parlor tumbler pigeon. They can’t fly. but if you snap your fingers they roll like cannonballs across the yard.” he said. He also has an ancient pigee - 'z -man breed that has such a sh... that it can’t feed its own young. I keep the young in a shoe box with a heating pad. Lake said, noting that bigger operations have incubators. Across town at Four Forks. Dr. Mil-ton Finley is one of those birdmen with a bigger operation. He has 40 chickens. 20 ducks, a dozen geese. 100 guineas and six turkeys on his 18-acre farm. 60 • Faculty Admmisiranon But Finley's bird raising is not a hobby. it is a necessity since his goal is to eventually raise all of the food that he needs. He says he is about 70 percent self-sufficient now. Finley delivers and sells his eggs to LSUS on a sporadic basis in order to cover the cost of feed. I sell the eggs whenever the girls are laying.” he said. Dr. Stephen Lynch has chickens too. but the stars” of his coop are Gertrude and Sebastian, two African geese he calls ornery.” On 3.5 acres in Dixie Gardens. Lynch keeps the geese along with a turkey named New Years ( I used to have one named Thanksgiving ... ), three unnamed ducks and two roosters. Lynch grew up on a farm in California and learned to love chickens and other birds at an early age. But he doesn’t want to be too isolated from the city life. I’m a mile and a half from school and a mile and a half from Albertson's — that’s the way I like to farm.” he explained. The birds and other animals on Lynch's farm are his babies. and he raises them purely for fun. I give away my eggs.” he said. I get more of a kick out of that.

Marsala. The college includes the criminal justice department, the department of military science and Conferences and Institutes. The military science department will expand from two instructors to three. A new captain specializing in infantry is due to join the faculty. Marsala said this department has experienced tremendous growth. He said. We intend to have the best ROTC unit in the state.” In the field of criminal justice he said he saw no need for expansion at this time. However, the number of instructors has been increased from one to two. Conferences and Institutes is in charge of the noncredit continuing education programs offered by the University. In the last year more than 10.000 adults have participated in such programs as a CPA review course, and seminars and workshops on real estate and reading skills. Courses are also offered on Shakespeare and philosophy. These are for those persons who wish to upgrade their work skills or get the best out of their leisure time, Marsala said. He also said the courses relate to both avocation and vocation. Marsala said the College of General Studies is important for an urban commuting university. Students who stopped out of school and are now employed need the bachelor of general studies' flexibility. Also the college affords students who are uncertain of what field in which to major an opportunity to sample courses before they go into other colleges. He said the college is in need of a professional academic counselor because the students are so varied they need academic advisement. Conferences and Institutes needs a professional development assistant to assist in professional non-credit programs for certification. Marsala said more businesses arc requiring their managers to update their knowledge in an academic setting. Within the next five years he said he expects additional personnel will be needed to develop programs in the growing college. A) Capt. Frank Bruscato. chairman of the Department of Military Science.

To girls going through rush, it means fun and parties. It also means being herded around like cattle between parties, while the cow punchers pick over the prized heifers. To the sorority sisters putting on the parties. rush means summer workshops, skit practices anti nc television — all in all. lots of hard work. But it also means pledges, and pledges are necessary for sororities to survive. Rush week began on a Sunday with convocation. Then a week-long extravaganza of parties and food and fun took over.

It’s a relatively simple process made incredibly complicated. However, we have broken it down into eight easy steps for you. STEP I — Stand in line to get student packet, which contains all sorts of identification. Once this has been obtained and a piece of paper with instructions has been picked up. the human adventure begins. STEP 2 - Go from the Science Building to Bronson Hall. Find your advisor on the second floor. Tell him what you want to take. Watch him schedule you for what he wants you to take. STEP 3 — Pick up class cards. The trick with class cards is to obtain them before someone else does. If it's a popular class (or required), the number of cards will diminish rapidly. To avoid this, always register during the first hour of the first day of registration. STEP 4 - Once the cards are safely in hand, go to the first floor of Bronson Hall and have the packet checked. Cross your fingers. Everything may be correct. It’s happened before. Once. STEP 5 — Return to the Science Building. Take five minutes to figure out which is the correct entrance to go in by. Have identification card prepared. Smile. That picture is going to be a curse for a long time. STEP 6 — Pay fees. The most painful step. Worse than English 105. Also register the car. STEP 7 — Buy Textbooks. The most demoralizing step beyond a doubt. Becomes more demoralizing when you see what you get when you sell the books back. STEP S — Last step. Have yearbook picture made. Greater curse than step five. A) Freshman lisa Allen hopes her class cards are in order. 8) Step 5 of registration is having identification cards made. Those pictures haunt students for the rest of their college careers. C) Somebody has to put those holes in the ID cards. D) Freshman Charles Lawler smiles because he thinks his class cards are in order. He was wrong, t) Freshman Dwight Kyle suspects registration is not what it ought to be.

Charles Buddy Roemer and Jimmy Wilson attended the forum, which was co-sponsored by the Shreveport League of Women Voters and the department of social sciences. (Attorney Troy Bain represented Forrest Dunn on the panel.) Each candidate spoke on priorities: Carter on balancing the budget; Bain (for Dunn) on strengthening national defense; Roemer on jobs-, and Wilson on a 10 percent tax cut. Leach, arriving an hour late, did not get the chance to give a preliminary speech; the audience, overwhelmingly conservative and Republican, hardly seemed to mind. A) Or.

Each year, on a September afternoon, members of the various organizations and Greek social fraternities gather to participate in such events as the over-and-under race with water balloons, the balloon-popping contest and the egg catch. The pie-eating contest is one of the more popular events to watch — though relatively few persons participate. Not only is it messy, it gets downright gross considering that those pies were sitting in the sun for awhile before the contest started. Yuchl Two new and unusual events were added to the Battle this year. Backseat Driver takes two persons from each team one drives a tricycle, blindfolded, through an obstacle course. The second person follows, giving instructions to the driver. The Little Dipper Relay has team members filling up cylinders with water carried in spoons. A new record was set in the egg catch. The ROTC team tossed an egg over 75 feet. A few eggs in this event not only failed to break when they hit the ground, they also bounced a couple of times! Other events were the frisbee throw, the football throw, tricycle race, the two-legged race and the tug-of-war.

This is internship. In the fall of 1980. Sandy interned at the Times during the week, where she also happens to work on the weekends. As part of her internship she was sent out with a reporter on an assignment. Both took notes on the event they were covering. Later Sandy’s notes were compared with the reporter’s to see if she picked out the same main points which the reporter used in his story. I learned what kind of questions to ask. and what’s important. Sandy said. She added that she also learned a slightly different writing style. Sandy went on assignments with different reporters so she would get a little experience with each aspect.” Unlike most communications seniors. Debby Osolneek did not intern at a local newspaper, radio station or television station. She interned in the office of Dr. Dennis Pernotto. director of medical communications at the LSU Medical Center in Shreveport. Her job? She put together a catalog on the 16 different residencies offered at the school. Debby was responsible for the entire catalog in almost every stage and aspect of production. She took the photographs. wrote the copy, and drew the lay-outs. The catalog will be sent to schools all over the country to promote the LSU Medical Center as a choice for medical school graduates to pursue residencies and to show which programs are available. I like both writing and photography.” Debby said. She said her internship was a great opportunity” which would help her find a job after graduation in December 1980. Putting out the catalog involved a lot of leg work, she said. While the catalog was something the medical school had wanted, they hadn’t had anyone to do it before. I really enjoyed doing it.” she said. I was doing what I wanted to do.” Debby said she expected to be put in a broom closet. Instead, she had her own office. She said she had an opportunity to apply the techniques and skills she had learned in journalism classes. She did find, however, that it was necessary to simplify language from medical jargon to terms a lay person could understand. Peggy Day lewis M. Deane Richard Deason Tracy L.

Since then, however, the 1856 Big House” of Caspiana Plantation and its kitchen have been renovated into the lovely Pioneer Heritage Center. It attempts to acquaint students and members of the community with life in Northwest Louisiana in the 1840s and 1850s. The program is under the supervision of the Junior League of Shreveport and the LSUS department of social sciences. In September 1980 the Junior League decided to film Ezekiel,” a 10- to 13-minute documentary on Caspiana House. This documentary will be used to show the work done there and encourage interested persons to make contributions toward its continued upkeep. For this documentary league members decided to have dramatization at the beginning and the end of the film. The story centers on a family living in the 1840s. The young son of this family has a companion — a bullfrog named Ezekiel. The Junior League announced its casting call for the bullfrog in a local newspaper.

It was an impressive sight in the UC — two strategically located tables covered with campaign pamphlets and paraphernalia. Admittedly, the Republicans, who got there first, had the best of it. But eventually a Carter table appeared, although half of it was taken up by campaign literature for Charles E. Buddy ” Roemer's 4th Congressional District race. There wasn't much doubt about which candidate students preferred. Reagan received 62.2 percent of the votes cast in a Student Government Association mock presidential election held in conjunction with the SGA senatorial election. Carter ran second with 14.2 percent, while John Anderson came in a close third at 13.1 percent. The Reagan campaign was much more evident on campus. A revived College Republicans Club appeared in early October, and U.S. Congressman Henson Moore from the 6th Congressional District gave a Reasons for Reagan” speech on campus. Of course.

The group studied at the University of London which is located in the center of the city, near the British Museum and theaters. They studied art. English, history, humanities and education under the direction of LSUS foreign study coordinator Marilyn Gibson (who is also an assistant professor of English) and assistant professor of fine arts David Horner. They also teamed up with a London instructor. The program is open to undergraduates and graduate students. as well as the general public. They must register at LSUS. however. Generally there are about 40 places available. These students take two courses and go on field trips. The Council for the Development of French in Louisiana (CODIFIL) awards two scholarships for study in France. One is for the academic year and the other is for a one-month summer study program. Katrinna Huggs. who is currently attending law school in Baton Rouge, was a former recipient of the academic-year scholarship.

Howard Jr. Jody has been working for two years on a cell growth process that could save time and money for medical researchers involved in chromosome analysis. It all started in Dorothy Cady's genetics class. Jody wondered why a culture medium previously used in growing cells for chromosome study could not be replaced by human plasma. That question and its possible answer prompted Jody to apply for an undergraduate research grant from the American Heart Association. The association responded with a check for $350. and Jody became the first (and only) LSUS student to receive an AHA grant for undergraduate research. He then began his research, under the guidance of Assistant Professor Dorothy Cady, titled The Growth of Human Lymphocytes in Human Heparinized Plasma for Chromosome Analysis. Jody, a pre-nied senior, also works at Schumpert Hospital in the pathology department. He said he would ideally prefer to be involved in both clinical medicine and teaching together with research after finishing his schooling. Regarding his decision to attend LSUS. Jody explained. LSUS has taken the state over in medicine — it is superior to all other schools in the state in all aspects of study. Since he began his research. Jody has been highly successful. and is planning to work with 50 volunteers in the hopes of standardizing his process before preparation of his final report for the American Heart Association.

Try dragging yourself out of your warm, comfortable bed at 5 a.m. The alarm clock jerks you into reality two hours before the sun and before it's normal to be real. Three cups of coffee may appear to be the remedy, but that warm sloshy liquid only serves to jumble up your sensitive stomach tissue to the point of nausea. Shower and shave, books on your back, clutching a quarter, dime and nickel (exact change has been scrounged up)j now you are ready to head for the cold, dank bus stop. The commuter stands alone at the bus stop, hiding his face behind a newspaper so as not to elicit unwanted inquiries from all the. at this hour, less-than-human drivers on the road. Finally, the hulk of a bus appears in the distance. Thankfully. it arrives only 15 minutes late. Boarding the bus. you feel a misplaced sense of pride: You have successfully commuted, you are supporting the public transit system, you are saving precious energy, you are patriotic. You are none of those things. What you are. is tired. Oh. it used to be real easy to zip up Youree Drive 15 minutes before your class started. The only problem then was finding a parking space. Now you are dependent and alien, controlled by the system that seeks to destroy your sense of balance. You haven't seen the 10 o'clock news for what seems like forever because you pass out every night at 9 p.m. It's brutal. LSUS looms in the distance, and your journey is complete. The sun is finally edging up over the horizon as you walk to your class. The ordeal is over — until you have to go home. The life of a commuter is tough and demanding, but don't worry — you can take it. You can always sleep next Saturday. A) Bicylcs arc a healthy mode of transportation. B) The SPORTRAN bus. C) It's registered. D) A trusty moped. E) SPORTRAN commuters look over the schedule. Laurah Robinson Marvel V. Robinson Valera Robinson Debra Lynn Roeten Keith M. Roeten G. W. Rolfe Kathy A.

Yes. final exams often take on the appearance of an athletic contest with marathon studying and careful scorekeeping of just how many points on a final will bring a grade up to a C. For many, a whole semester's grade hinges on performance on the final exam. And wouldn’t you know, that important exam is the very first one. with minimal study time. Some students gain weight during finals, munching on everything in sight while they study. Others lose weight, not being able to eat because of nervousness. Still others look like death warmed over from lack of sleep when they have to stay up all night to read for the first time books assigned the first week of class. Then there's the student who doesn't have time to study for finals because he's still writing the term paper due the last day of class. Yet no matter how bad the exam period was. the fact that it's over erases all the pain and everyone can begin planning how he will get off to a better start next semester.

We wanted to start off with something patriotic but she wanted 'God Save the Queen' and I wanted the 'Marseillaise.”' said Dr. Milton Finley who spoke for Republican Ronald Reagan. Milton s going to sell eggs. said Marilyn Gibson who represented the side of Democrat Jimmy Carter. Just so long as I don't lay one. Finley answered. The friendly tone between the two faculty members debating the presidential race before the debate continued to crop up from time to time during the event itself. But they each discussed the same four general questions put to them by moderator Tim Quattrone. president of the Program Council. Each was given three minutes to answer the question and one minute for rebuttal. The questions concerned the energy crisis, racial and sexual discrimination, the draft and the military, and the economy. In a second debate students addressed the same issues ... 'Twas the day before the election, and all through the UC not a student was stirring as Brian Whitner and Tim Hardy debated the issues of the 1980 presidential campaign. Whitner. arguing the Democratic position, and Hardy, arguing the Republican side, went at each other’s throats in front of a small audience that was undeniably pro-Reagan. They spoke about busing, the ERA. the draft and national defense during their hour-long debate. Their comments were almost too predictable since the issues had already been thoroughly hashed-out in the media. The audience definitely had their minds made up. and there was no doubt who won” the debate in their minds. The debaters’ attire told the whole story of their respective candidates' positions and images: Hardy in a businessman's suit and tie and Whitner in shirt sleeves and slacks. That picture summed up the attitude of most of the electorate that handed Reagan his landslide victory.-When in doubt, go with the suit and tie.

Even a flu epidemic couldn’t keep them down this year. During a trip to a tournament in Houston, most of the team was sidelined with the flu. but two of the members still managed to come away with trophies. Mike Kanosky was a finalist in extemporaneous speaking, and Joe DeSantos took first place in poetry interpretation and third place in dramatic interpretation in Houston. The remainder of the 1980-81 team. Jason Delrie. Jeff Foss. Melissa Powell. Tommy Ray and Charlie Reid, might have missed out in Houston, but they were able to participate in the other tournaments held this year. The team, under the guidance of forensic director Dr. Frank Lower, traveled to Oklahoma City. Okla.-. Edinburg. Texasi Conway, Ark.j and Durant. Okla. The state tournament was held in Shreveport and the nationals in Gatlinburg, Tenn. In Edinburg, the team placed second in debate, with Kanosky taking second place individually in impromptu speaking. In Conway, the team reached the quarter finals in debate, with DeSantos placing second in poetry and prose interpretation. Despite the team’s temporary problems in Houston. Lower said that they had a very enjoyable year traveling to the tournaments. This is as enthusiastic a group as we've ever had.’’ Lower said. We have a good time and get along well. When you get eight or nine people in a van you have to get along. As for next year. Lower sad that where the team goes will depend upon the inflation rate. Our budget will remain the same, so how far and where we will travel will depend on how far the money goes. And Lower is enthusiastic about the prospects for next year. The entire team will return to battle it out with area colleges next fall, with the exception of Jeff Foss who will be attending medical school. But whether they have to deal with the flu or a budget that can’t keep up with inflation, it’s a safe bet that the debate team will come out on top again next year.

Jan. 20 also marked a new beginning in the politics of the nation, for it was inauguration day for Ronald Reagan, fortieth president of the United States. The campus also reflected its emathy for the ex-hos-tages. who had been held in Iran since Nov. 4. 1979. Trees in the mall sported yellow ribbons, the symbol of hope while the embassy personnel were held captive and the symbol of shared jubilation for their freedom. Students distributed yellow ribbons in the University Center, and students, faculty and staff wore them proudly during the 10-day period between the freeing of the hostages and the final celebration of their freedom, a national day of thanksgiving. On campus, students conducted a service of thanksgiving in which an ROTC unit presented the colors and the chorus led the audience in singing Tie a Yellow Ribbon ... and God Bless America.” The sense of new beginning was felt in the college community. 133 • Student I ifc tlndercljJtmen Julie Wooten Kerry Wooten Reggie Wyatt Linda $.

Those students completing degree requirements in December are as eligible as those graduating the following May. Factors considered by the faculty members in their deliberations are grade point average, total hours pursued and the student’s achievement in his field. The total number of awards varies from college to college — Business Administration. 6� Education. 61 General Studies. Liberal Arts. 9i and Sciences. 7.

There is yet another category which falls between these two — students who are far from being older” students but still a little bit older than those who come straight from high school. Ann Rhoads is a senior in elementary education. She was attending Lambuth College in Jackson. Tenn.. when she married. Her husband was in divinity school so she dropped out of college and got a job. She now has two daughters. Amy, II, and Beth, 8. Rhoads said she decided that once her children were school age she would return to college. She said it was my turn. When she first left school she didn’t want to teach school. However, she changed her mind. Having her daughters in school made her see the need for a caring teacher. Obtaining a degree has always been her goal, she said. Even when she dropped out of school she knew she would return for her degree. She started back slowly, first taking three hours, then six. Dr. Jimmie Smith, vice chancellor of student affairs, attends the same church at which Rhoads' husband is minister of education. Rhoads said she and her husband were dining with Smith and his wife in January 1977 at the Hush Puppy Restaurant when she barely mentioned” her intention to return to college. After dinner the two couples came out to the University to get the necessary forms so she could register within the next few days. She plans to graduate in the spring of 1982. She said she would prefer to teach second, third or fourth grade after graduation. A child needs to learn to love school at an early age. she said. Children also need to develop a positive self image. You can’t start too soon on the image concept. Rhoads said. Her family has been very supportive of her academic career. she said. Her children help her with her homework and enjoy giving her ideas about what’s fun in the classroom. She concedes that schedule conflicts make life hectic with music lessons and Brownies.” Rhoads said she didn’t enjoy her first year of college. However, she said she enjoys it now mainly because she has a goal. Betsy Eaves is also majoring in education and she too has returned to college. She obtained a degree in Christian education from Centenary College in 1978. After she obtained her degree she worked for about a year, then married. She said she decided to return to college because being a director of Christian education often meant work in the evenings and on weekends and she wanted to spend time with her husband. She originally got her degree in Christian education because her father is a Methodist minister. It was just a natural thing” for her to choose church work. She elected to return for a degree in education because she enjoys working with young people and wished to continue doing so. She and Rhoads have one thing in common besides majoring in education. Eaves also attended Lambuth College. She said her father and Rhoads’ husband were in the same Methodist conference. However. Eaves attended Lambuth only a year before transferring. Eaves plans to specialize in English education in secondary schools. She said she's not yet certain but she thinks she would probably like to teach the upper levels. She said she now wishes I hadn't rushed” through college. She could have remained at Centenary a few more semesters and been certified to teach then. However, she said she felt she ought to be out working and didn’t want to stay in college any more at that time. Consequently, it will take her more semesters to obtain her degree now than it would have if she had studied education in the first place at Centenary. 144 • Student life Seniors.

Associate Professor of English Michael Cascio. Student Patricia G. Robbins. General Librarian And when — O Friendl my comforter and guidel Strong in thyself, and powerful to give strengthl — Thy long sustained Song finally closed. And thy deep voice had ceased — yet thou thyself Wert still before my eyes, and round us both That happy vision of beloved faces — To William Wordsworth.” Samuel Taylor Coleridge For fear of becoming too wordy or forcing my opinions on the student body.
