Pulse of a beating campus he McNeese State University cam- pus contains a diverse group of of- fices and facilities that offer a wide variety of services. Some are better known by the entire student body than others, while some are benefitted by a particular group of people. This year the university has seen a great change in its appearance and in its facility space. A new Post Office, Photography Lab, Student Services office and Printing Shop have recently been built, providing more space and convenience. With the ad- dition, the Bookstore is able to expand its square footage to hold a much wider se- lection of goods. Other improvements the university has recently seen are the construction of side- walks outside of Kaufman and the retaining wall built along the Contraband Bayou. But, new or not, there are a number of places on campus where people are sta- tioned to help students throughout their journey, whether it is to secure their sched-- ules or provide counseling on personal mat- ters. One of those places is the infirmary where students who carry at least seven academic hours may receive medical at- tention. Doctors are available two days each week to treat general illness. And beginning this past September, there is a doctor on campus one day of the week to treat musculoskeletal problems, such as sprains. Other service areas on campus are the Division of Basic Studies and the Regis- trar’s Office. The Division of Basic Studies provides specialized counseling to first- time freshmen. It helps these students to become acquainted with the university and the procedures to which they must become accustomed.

W ————E7 ORLD OF DIVERSITY O O Role playing i alloween is the first ac- f | tive holiday of the fall “ “ semester. It is then that students, faculty and staff ex- ercise their imagination to be- come whatever they want to be. It is one opportunity where we can be a nun on roller skates, a prince or princess, a chicken or a California raisin if we want to be. It is instant suc- cess — something for which we are all striving. But instant success does not come so eas- ily in the real world. In that world there are hurdles and bar- riers that make life a struggle sometimes. Nevertheless, we all have our roles in that world. Whether we are the entering freshman unsure of where we will be tomorrow or the grad- uate about to apply six years of learning, we take on a very important role in the world of McNeese. Shakespeare said, ‘All the world’s a stage’’ and our lives, in fact, can be seen as a play upon a stage, com- plete with leading actors and extras. Though many of us may not agree on our pro- ducer and director, we all have a need to play parts. At McNeese, we find a large and varied cast. Our university, our dramatic pro- duction, provides everyone a role, a responsibility to the others we share our lives with. Whether we are stu- dents, faculty, advisors or staff, we exist in support of all of us. Our roles are not only to bring glory to our- selves, but to share that glo- ry of our lives with those around us.
