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. LOVING COUPLE Ron Davis and Joanna Dunlap show their true col- ors at a reception following an art exhibition by Larry Schuh. IMAGINATION RUNS wild as Dr. Cheryl Ware, associate professor of English, Yukiko Tanaka, Deanie Fontenot, adjunct professor of lan- guages, and Dr. Tom Fox, associate professor of history, fufill their life- long dreams of becoming a “‘Blue Nun,’ baby, Scout Master and the General Douglas MacArthur, re- spectively. @) Opening 11

Pulse of a beating © campus (Continued from page 9) The Registrar’s Office handles all ap- plications of prospective students and the records of all students who attend the uni- versity. It is the stronghold of entering and completing the ‘‘red tape’ of our journey. Two specialized centers are the Com- puter Center and the Center for Economic Education. The Computer Center provides easy access to students enrolled in com- puter classes. Student helpers are always on duty to assist anyone with any problems they incur. The Center for Economic Education is a specialized department in the College of Business that strives to promote the un- derstanding of economics in all schools in Southwest Louisiana. It provides pre- and in-service training of teachers in this field with courses, workshops and seminars. Other areas on campus used by small numbers of students are the music library, located in the Fine Arts building, and the education library, located in Farrar Build- ing. Both of these libraries provide sup- plemental information to all students in these respective areas of study. And of course there are those places with which every student is very familiar, like the dorms, the cafeteria, the pool room, the Hitching Post and the Student Union. Overall, there is something for everyone, no matter their interest, no matter their need. REGISTRAR r ELENA OLIVIER is one of those “public service’ persons who is always available to help someone with their financial aid questions. DARREN CAILLOUET visits the Registrar's Office, one of the most frequented places on campus. It is here that students may obtain transcripts and handle schedule changes. ye . ® Opening 13
