Could he have dreamed that the Mississippi River would be the ar- tery of a magnificent nation? H e connected the history of the Mississippi Valley with the golden years of the Renaissance. Men of that period were deeply in- terested in the world and to most of them, it appeared as a beautiful rainbow with pots of gold at either end. The Renaissance was an age of discovery. Discovery: Ir 4 1 7 hile DeSoto was gazing upon the great stream for the first time, Michelangelo was putting the finishing touches on his (( Last Judgement . Coper- nicus was preparing to prove that the earth and planets moved around the sun; and English literature was reaching great heights of expression with the plays of William Shakespeare. 8 Discovery: 1541 The same spirit that was exhibited in the lives of these Renaissance figures was prevalent at Memphis State University.

Discovery: 1541 9 y PTC svr en and women of that golden era longed to be in the limelight of activity and desired to be involved in the world in which they lived. Memphis State students, too, found that the limelight was an exciting place and discovered that through involvement they were much more than a social security number. With more than 100 ac- tive campus organizations it was almost impossible for students not to become in- volved in campus life. During the Renaissance, a great emphasis was put on learning and educa- tion was the prime reason students matriculated in MSU. Student interest in academics made the formation of the College of Communication and Fine Arts and changes in the physical education re- quirement realities. 9 • . • m O   :- 7 ' -f ' Id . ■fz w J WW . Top: Eight a.m. classes come very early after a long night, but it ' s not difficult to find someone with whom to make that early morning trek across campus.

Who am I, what is my purpose? These were questions that students of the 1500 ' s asked. Collegians of 1978 continued asking them; and the answers to these questions were probably the greatest discoveries an MSU student could make. Memphis State University provided an ideal setting for such personal discoveries. It was established as an institution where goals would be set and it educated stu- dents in order that they, like Don Quixote, might reach impossible dreams.

This was Harvest Homecoming 1977. Confunkshun started the week with everyone dancing to a soulful beat. The week closed with the Homecoming Dance featuring Main Squeeze. University Programs presented the latest fashions in a show called Fall Into Fashion. Male and female members of the UP Fashion Board modeled stylish apparel for football weather. A field of 18 coeds entered the Homecoming Court competition and contestants launched their campaigns with posters and handbills. Six girls were chosen: Beth Armstrong, Shari Lynn Evans, Renee Gaia, Renea Gaines, Kim Koeneman and Donica Woods. Each girl received roses and a plaque.

For those closet Olympians, a mile- and-a-half Mini Marathon was run. Battling the heat and dis- tance prove rewarding for winners John Mohundro and Leann Wilmot. Strength was the name of the game in the Tug-of-War. Seven stalwart teams consisting of 20 students each struggled against the slippery ground in the grueling battle.

For the student looking for a u- nique gift, a two- day Arts and Crafts Fair was the place to be. Craftsmen displayed jewelry, blown glass, pottery, food, leather works, toys, plants and many other curios. A student-faculty talent show provided v some shining moments with alumnus Alan Ray as emcee. Acts included singers, comedians, Latin dancers, a spoon player and a magician.

A caravan including colorful floats, TOM the Tiger, high school bands and the MSU Mighty Sound of the South marching band followed a route along Central, Highland and Walker Avenues with MSU president emeritus Cecil C. Humphreys as grand marshal. Alpha Gamma Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha took first place in the float competition. UP Fashion Board placed second. A banner contest sponsored by Residence Hall Association was held to intensify spirit. ' • Above: Talent show participant John Pence demonstrates slight-of-hand with the queen of hearts.

For the first time in several years, the Homecoming game was held in the afternoon. Gray skies over Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium reflected the feelings of the Tigers who had been defeated by the University of Louisville Cardinals. While a football was not placed in MSU ' s horn of plenty, the fruits of Harvest Homecoming ' 77 were evident to all. Memories were made, old ties renewed, and a bond between students was established. Left: Taking first place for the women, Leann Wilmot leaves less energetic spectators behind at the Mini-Marathon.

Limelight 19 An Era Comes to an End; Elvis Presley Dies at Age 42 Memphis made a painful dis- covery this summer: how it feels to lose a son. And like a bereaved mother, Memphis mourned. A legend came to an end August 16, sometime between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. where it should have — in the Graceland mansion. Elvis Presley was dead, a victim of car- diac arhythmia at the age of 42. Shock waves echoed throughout the city and the world. Everyone clung to the hope that it was not true, it couldn ' t be. But slowly, the awful news was absorbed. An estimated 200,000 people held a tenacious vigil outside the gates of Graceland, brought together by their love for Elvis. The legend began January 8, 1935 in a modest house on the out- skirts of Tupelo, Miss., where twins were born to Gladys and Vernon Presley. Perhaps the death of one of the twins at birth caused Gladys to develop a deep bond with the surviving twin named Elvis that lasted past her death in 1958. Regular attendance at the First Assembly of God Church in Tupelo was stressed to Elvis by his mother. It was in the church that Elvis developed a taste of gospel music. It remained an un- dercurrent of his singing style. Elvis later attributed his famous hip gyrations to the preachers who cut up all over the place. At age ten, when most boys spend their time pretending, Elvis was becoming a reality. With an emotional rendition of Old Shep he placed second in the Mississippi-Alabama State Fair talent show. Above: In his concert at Alexandria, Louisiana, Elvis performs Love Me Tender, the theme of his first movie. 20 Limelight And now, the end is near, And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I say it clear, I state my case of which I ' m certain. I ' ve lived a life that ' s full; I ' ve traveled each and every highway. But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, I ' ve had a few, But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do, And so it proved, without exception. I planned each chartered course and careful step along the bi-way. And more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, I ' m sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew; But through it all and every doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all, and I stood tall And did it my way. I ' ve loved; I ' ve laughed and cried; I ' ve had my fill, my share of losing. And now as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that, And let me say, not in a shy way But more, much more than that, I did it my way. My Way Elvis Presley 1935-1977 Limelight 21 He was the greatest friend I ever had, the most generous person I have ever known and he never forgot his friends. — George Klein Vernon moved his family to Memphis in 1948. Sporting a ducktail in the land of crewcuts, Elvis enrolled in Humes High School. He became a popular figure after appearing in a Humes talent show, where he again daz- zled an unsuspecting audience. Sam Phillips of Sun Record Company once said if he could find a white man who had the Negro sound he could make a billion dollars. Little did he know that man was about to make his debut. Elvis, on a lunch break from his job as a truck driver, went to Memphis Recording Ser- vice to record his mother ' s birth- day present. From then on, nothing stood in his way. Elvis Presley made 45 records that sold more than one million copies. Tunes like Jailhouse Rock, Heartbreak Hotel, Don ' t Be Cruel and Are You Lonesome Tonight? established Elvis as the King of Rock and Roll. His movies were equally suc- cessful. There were 33 in all, beginning with Love Me Ten- der in 1956. Throughout the semester, stu- dents were constantly reminded of the singer ' s death. Controversies surrounding the cause of death and even an attempt to steal his body kept Elvis ' name in the news. The bodies of the late singer and his mother were moved to Graceland and the gravesites were opened to the public. For Elvis ' adoring fans, the summer of 1977 would be remem- bered as a sad one. Although Elvis was out of sight, he would never be out of mind. The memories created by his music would never be forgotten. 22 Limelight M J • • •••■■■ ■ . 1 |.; v JP % Je ' ■fek • TB i , 11 n m m «  , 1 M m A . —. m ■ Top: Elvis demonstrates how he earned the nickname Elvis the Pelvis.

Limelight 23 Death and Controversy Get Year ' s Top Billings WO 06 TH£ Cd OcoeD S AVMly Atones MB. ; $0£ mt tdCy ' w ■ ' A The year was filled with both loss and gain. It was no different for students of Memphis State University as they faced an ex- citing and sometimes painful year. The formation of the new College of Communication and Fine Arts was a major event. The departments of journalism, music, art and speech and drama combined under Dean Richard R. Ranta to better serve students in these fields. As Phase I of the pedestrian campus program, a $226,000 mall was completed. The new addition was not welcomed by all but it helped to make the campus more attractive. Controversy touched MSU as alleged sex discrimination in hir- ing was reported. MSU was saddened by the death of a music professor, Dr. Herbert Hermann, at the age of 47. Dr. Hermann served as piano division coordinator. 24 Limelight Limelight 25 Tennessee had its share of bad publicity with Governor Ray Blanton tangling with the press over several issues. Nationally, it was a mixed year. Death was in headlines often. Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, Groucho Marx, Charlie Chaplain and Hubert Humphrey all were gone but not forgotten. A mer- ciless killer named Son of Sam stalked the streets of New York while in a televised murder trial 15-year-old Ronald Zamora claimed television intoxication was his reason for committing murder. Controversy was prevalent dur- ing the year. Debates concerning the Panama Canal were long and hot while President Carter ' s energy program failed miserably. Bert Lance lost his battle with Congress and anti-gay activist Anita Bryant fell prey to a pie- thrower at a news conference. A bill extending the mandatory retirement age from 65 to 70 in private industry was passed and the Concorde jet finally landed in New York. Star Wars exploded on the movie screen and Close Encoun- ters of The Third Kind reminded everyone of the possibility of in- telligent life elsewhere in the galaxy. Album sales turned towards more mellow sounds. Austin rock , led by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, became a suc- cessful trend. Groups like Fleetwood Mac and singers like Barry Manilow and Linda Ronstadt helped to illustrate this easy sound. Bubble gum music was invaded by punk rock and the lyrics of hit songs were often termed sexually explicit . The Sex Pistols arrived in Memphis and gave an interesting show. Vans were the new craze on the roads. Approximately 2 million were on the highways decorated in every way imaginable. Meanwhile, cars got smaller and slimmer while the price tags grew. Citizen band radios made everyone good buddies on the road. 26 Limelight Limelight 2 ' Right: Dr. Rhea Sedden, newly selected female astronaut, expects that space travel will probably be no more dangerous than travelling on Memphis ' expressways.

Unfortunately, students at Memphis State University dis- covered college life was not that easy. Some common patterns ap- peared among students on the MSU campus. College students were notorious breakfast skippers: the perennial vending machine often took the place of a nutritious b reakfast. Missing breakfast in order to get to class was a noble gesture. Noble, but futile. If the traffic didn ' t get you the parking would. MSU students continued to battle the problem of how to get their cars into the scant numbers of parking spaces. It was a challenge, but there were few alternatives other than missing class. When classes ended for the day, students needed to unwind. The University Center offered many attractions including billiards. For those who wanted off- campus pleasure, Across the Tracks, Danvers and Ernies proved to be a change of pace. Here students met with friends and discussed everything from grade worries to the new movie in town. Movies were a perfect pastime. Star Wars dominated the box office receipts but other tops in- cluded Julia , The Turning Point and on the Highland strip many lined up to see Cinderella 2000 . Students showed their need to escape the daily pressures of term papers, deadlines, and tests. Overton Square was a favorite night spot for many. TGI Fridays, Mississippi River Company and Silkys were frequented by both students and faculty. A new trend appeared on the MSU campus — dressing up. Girls were seen in dresses and hats. Cowlneck sweaters and stick pins were tops in women ' s fashions. Guys cut their hair and traded in those faded jeans for khakis and button-down collars. The look was nostalgic and romantic, and most students welcomed the change. Couples were a familiar sight on campus. Whether going to a fancy dance or just sitting on a bench, MSU pairs enjoyed the lure of the campus by moonlight. Crazes hit as usual. Frozen yogurt became the delightful dis- covery in dieting. Skateboards provided many with free transpor- tation to c lass. Was there Life After Life ? Books on this mysterious subject stayed on the bookstore bestseller list for weeks. Fads came and went but one thing never changed. After matriculation at Memphis State things just were not quite the same. The sights and sounds of MSU affected everyone somehow or another.

Limelighl ' M %atoJxdlua(BMg Jill In her first semester at Memphis State University, Jill Beshears was crowned Miss MSU 1978. It was not the first title for the 21 year-old communications major. In 1976 she was chosen Miss Macon Junior College, Macon Georgia. In 1975 she cap- tured the title of Fairest of the Fair in Atlanta and made it into the top ten finalists in the Miss Georgia pageant that same year. In 1974 she was named Miss War- ner Robins, Georgia. Whether a winner or not, Miss Beshears said she had enjoyed every pageant she had par- ticipated in because of the people she had met. She summed up her feelings saying, I enjoy meeting people and getting to know them. Meeting and knowing people is where you find real fulfillment in life. Her responsibilities included representing MSU in the Miss Tennessee pageant in Jackson. With the title of Miss MSU 1978, Miss Beshears received a $250 scholarship from University Programs, a watch from Perel and Lowensteins Jewelers, a $50 gift certificate from the MSU bookstore, a $450 scholarship to Patricia Stevens ' Finishing School and a silver bowl from Brodnax Jewelers. 32 Limelight . ■ H| ■ ■ .

As the hot air balloon rose from the stage the ex- citement and expectations of each girl rose, too. The many hours of practice and worry were about to pay off. Each contestant prayed her talent would go well, her dress look right and her smile please the judges. Sponsored by University Programs, the pageant gave 15 girls a chance to display their beauty and talent in two nights of competition. Capturing the title was Jill Beshears, who sang My Tribute by Andrae Crouch. She was also winner of the swimsuit competi- tion and the Miss Congeniality award. The four runners-up were Patti Husted, Bonnie Bond, Christi Higbee and Julie Nance. Winning evening gown and talent competi- tion was Christi Hibgee. The quality of the competition was better this year than ever before, said Nancy Workman, UP special events chairman. We were looking for an ail- American girl who could represent Tennessee wherever she went. We also wanted someone who might eventually do well in the Miss America Pageant. We ' re very pleased with Jill. Above: A tearful Jill Beshears is crowned by former Miss Memphis State Billie Ann Johnson.

Special entertainment was provided by two singing groups, The Little Misses and The Princemen. Many thankless hours of work were put in by the stage crew to see that everything went smoothly. Lightman Bob Shedd worked to make sure the light combinations would complement each girl. Peggy Polk was in charge of the set which featured an airplane pulling a banner proclaiming Up, Up, and Away. Most of the girls enjoyed every minute of the pageant, said Miss Workman. We had some problems during the week with the balloon and the set, but it all worked out. In appreciation for her efforts, the contestants presented Miss Workman with an engraved silver dish. Above: Mame lights up Lisa Shoup ' s face with emotion.

Limelight 37 Confidence and Poise Are Keys to the Success of Miss Black America I ' ll have to give the crown back, but the new friendships I have made will last forever, said Claire Denise Ford, Miss Black America 1978. The 19-year-old sophomore English major attained the crown at the first nationally televised pageant in Santa Monica, Calif., in September. Girls from 31 states participated in the competition. Placing second in talent com- petition, Miss Ford sang Everything Must Change by Quincy Jones. Confidence helped give her the poise she needed to capture the crown. 38 Limelight mmmmmmmm I ' ve never been a loser in my heart or my mind, said Miss Ford. I was never scared, I knew I could win. Success does not come without confidence. You can ' t de- pend on others, you have to believe in yourself. Upon receiving the title, Miss Ford was awarded $10,000, a part in the upcoming Roots: The Next Generation and screen tests at Universal Studios. When questioned, Miss Ford said she believes there should be both a Miss Black America and a Miss America pageant. Black girls have a much better chance to display their talents in the Miss Black America pageant. In Miss America, the judges tend to look for a certain type of beauty — blonde haired and blue-eyed. This way black women have an opportunity to be judged on the basis of their beauty. I feel I repre- sent all of America, not just the blacks, added a proud Miss Ford. She planned to finish her education at MSU before entering law school. Right now I ' m wondering just how far I can go, said a confident Claire Ford.

Where else but Memphis State? Where else could MSU be located but in the South. The South, known for its beauty and quiet charm, lured students from all across the United States to MSU. Southern belles were everywhere. Everyone wanted to look like a southern girl. Campus beauties were numerous as they received recognition for their good looks. Perhaps it was the abun- dance of sunshine that brought out this beauty, bu t one thing was for sure — there was no better place to be a male than at MSU.

Students were given a chance to view speakers from all walks of life. University Programs, Black Student Association and Law Forum strove to provide in- teresting and educational per- sonalities for MSU audiences. Rob Skinner, head of the UP speakers committee, explained how the speakers were chosen. The committee works to schedule people for whom the stu- dents will turn out, said Skinner. We try to have as varied a program as possible, including politicians and comedians. We try to comply with everyone ' s wishes. One of the most interesting and successful speakers on the UP agenda, as far as the crowd was concerned, was Ralph Moody, the author of bestseller life After Moody explored the subject of life after Life . Dr. fascinating death. Senator Julian Bond highlighted the year ' s schedule for the Black Student Association. Appearing as part of the Black Renaissance Week, Senator Bond discussed the Black American ' s struggle in the United States and outlined action for the future. 42 Limelight Here and Beyond Ralph Moody, author of Life After Life We must remember there is no actual scien- tific evidence of life after death.

Limelight ' 46 46 Limelight A change occurred on the Memphis State campus in the fall, but not without controversy. A mall, designed by the Depart- ment of Physical Plant and Plan- ning, was constructed in front of John Brister Library where State Street once ran. In addition to new sidewalks and more grass the mall contained several benches. Bergin Merril, director of Physical Plant and Planning, felt the project was a success. Our aim was to create a pedestrian campus that would be conducive to learning. I think we did. Remember, this was only Phase I in our campus beautifica- tion program. Phase II and Phase EQ will be involving other unat- tractive areas. Much of the controversy sur- rounding the mall involved two things: the cost and the reduction of parking spaces. The total cost of Phases I, II, and III was estimated to be $800,000. Helmsman editorials prompted students to believe that this was the cost of Phase I, the library mall alone. In reality the mall cost $226,000. The cost really isn ' t that much when you consider construction costs, said Merril. As far as parking goes, President Jones has made plans to construct more parking spaces to compensate for those lost; also, the mall has helped bring the issue of a parking garage into focus. Limelight 47 Bookstore, Post Office Assist Students At the beginning of each semester, hundreds of students crowded around shelves of the Memphis State Bookstore, mak- ing it almost impossible to find an employee to help them. By wear- ing blue MSU cowboy hats, em- ployees made themselves easily identifiable and solved the dilemma. From clothing to cosmetics, the MSU Bookstore served as an on- campus everthing store. Managed by Jim Lippy, the store offered books, gifts, supplies, T- shirts and many other items. Shoplifting remained a problem. A full-time plain clothes security guard was hired to help cut the number of crimes. Storage of the thousands of textbooks became a difficult task. Space was provided in the basement of the WKNO building, but the transfer of books back and forth was hard. Help was rendered by the student em- ployees, many of whom worked on a scholarship basis. Return to Sender was the theme song of Mail Services. Students who left no forwarding address when they quit school or changed dorms caused a backlog of mail, according to D. B. Van- Valkenburg, director. Dorm resi- dents should remember to notify publishers of a change in ad- dress. VanValkenburg reported that on an eve rage day 12,000 pieces of mail are processed.

According to director Dennis Heitzman, the primary role of the center was to help students deter- mine their capabilities and develop untapped potential. Three different offices offered per- sonal academic and career coun- seling. Personal counseling in group and individual sessions focused on personality awareness and realization of capabilities. Career counseling provided in- terest tests and opportunities for employment interviews. Academic counseling gave stu- dents a chance to discuss course offerings, take aptitude tests and enroll in remedial programs. The Educational Support Program (ESP) offered tutors in certain subjects. The center also provided such activities as assertiveness training groups, speed reading classes and panel discussions on pertinent topics. These activities gave stu- dents confidence in their abilities. Above: Academic counselor Cindy Alsup dis- cusses course requirements with Roni Williams, a bachelor degree candidate. 50 Limelight Escorts Aid Women Contrary to what most students believed, the Safety and Security Department only spent a small portion of its time issuing parking tickets. Ensuring safety for women on campus, a radio-equipped student patrol provided women ' s escorts from 8:00 p.m. until midnight. Care and transportation of the ill and handicapped was also provided by the department. The staff was trained to handle anything from transporting han- dicapped students to his classes to administering first aid to an acci- dent victim. Operation Identification , another free benefit for students, loaned engraving equipment for 24 hours to a student to mark his personal property for burglary protection. Under the direction of Robert S. Rutherford, the Safety and Security Department also main- tained a lost and found center, and remained open nights and weekends to double as an informa- tion service.

Serving the entire University community — faculty, staff, stu- dent and visitor — the University Center was the heart of campus activities and the location for many guest speakers and club meetings. For the commuter student, the Center was a home away from home with its lounges, study rooms, cafeterias, telephones, lockers and recreational facilities. Whether the convenience of low phones for handicapped students or convenience of banking facilities, the University Center had something for everyone. 52 Limelight Physical Plant and Planning Foresees New Parking Garage Providing a good educational environment was the function of the Physical Plant and Planning Department, said Robert Merril, director. Campus beautification, the theme of planning and designing, included the new mall design and the installation of directory boards. Construction projects planned for the near future included re- routing Patterson Avenue at the Southern railroad intersection and a large parking garage.

Directed by E.C. Strickland, The Tempest featured guest ar- tist Charles Antalosky in the lead role of Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan. Set on a timeless fan- tasy island, the plot centered around the marooned Prospero and his daughter Miranda. Hav- ing mastered the magic of the island, Prospero conjures up a storm to shipwreck his brother Antonio, the usurping Duke of Milan. While Prospero played tricks on passengers, Miranda fell in love with Ferdinand, a member of Antonio ' s royal party.

The plot centered around eight college students in an American university town. The play focused on their experiences of growing up in the tumultous 1960 ' s. The characters included Mike and Coot ie, two scholarly jesters; Ruth, Mike ' s frustrated girlfriend; Dick, an up-and-coming politi- cian; Norman, the whiz-kid who gets expelled; Bob and Kathy, sparring lovers; and their demented landlord, Mr. Willis.

The single production was the first showing of Morris the Musical Moose, a children ' s play with music by Bill Black and Robert Zamora. Performed by adults for children, children ' s theatre was not only entertaining but educational having been produced jointly by speech and drama and education. Directed by Joanna Helming, Morris the Musical Moose was a delightful tale of a moose from Minnesota who traveled to the Big City in search of stardom.

Directed by C.R. Hogland, the show was a comic mystery, fashioned in who-done-it style. Set in a northern mountain resort area, the plot focused on the efforts of a small town investigator solving a high society murder.

The play was set in a private psy- chiatric clinic whose staff mem- bers appeared to be more insane than the inmates. The show was directed by graduate student Lee William Ritchey, who summed up the play with a quote from the Revenger ' s Tragedy , Surely we ' re all mad people, and they whom we think are, are not.

Limelight 59 Fascinated by the similarities between comics and theatre, author Keith Kennedy directed this production marking his return to Memphis State after a year ' s absence. Kennedy spent most of the year directing his energies toward production of the Fink. Feeling the comic strip ' s simple lines reflected his own work, he said, So much gets said with so little ink. Everything I do in theatre has a deep statement. The premier production of The King is a Fink, a musical written by Keith Kennedy with music by George Caldwell, opened the Fall ' 77 season of the Memphis State Theatre. The plot encompassed all the favorite characters from The Wizard of Id , a comic strip by Johnny Hart and Brant Parker. The Spook was finally given a chance to even the odds against the king. Most importantly, the Spook was aided by the audience who was asked to believe in magic as they shouted kazang . A puff of smoke filled the stage and the Spook was freed from his chains. € . v - Top left: Sir Rodney serenades Ganymede, his dancing horse, with the song My Trusty Steed.

Directed by Henry Swanson, this exceptional produc- tion starred Gig Young in the lead role of James Tyrone. The play was the dramatic portrayal of O ' Neill ' s own family and their tragic life together. Young, renowed TV, film and stage actor, was making his first appearance in a university production. Praising the attitudes of MSU students Young said he would ... definitely consider future university offers . Perhaps best known for the TV series The Rogues, Young was the holder of many awards in- cluding two Broadway Agis Awards and an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Rocky in They Shoot Horses, Don ' t They?

Limelight 67 — Reserved sideline seats and out- of-town trips seemed like great in- centives to a freshman band mem- ber; but after the first long hours of practice, he could not help but wonder about their value. If he stuck with it though and lasted through band camp he was transformed from a beginner to an expert in seven short days. The first day of camp, fun- damental day, was named for the most difficult marching step. Members learned to touch the knee of one leg with the instep of the other foot, and place it 22 V2 inches away from its original posi- tion. On the second and third days the new marcher gradually built his marching confidence. Final days centered on the coordination of marching and playing.

I couldn ' t get any of the classes I wanted; the heat was just un- bearable, grumbled Marion Goode, sophomore music major. Top: Frustrated, Pam Wilkes ponders how she will squeeze three classes into two hours. Below: The first lesson many students learn at Memphis State is how to stand in line. Long lines, inability to get desired classes and the heat headed a list of complaints directed to David R. Wallace, associate dean of admissions and records. The lines this year were a result of a shortage of workers, said Wallace. Inability to get classes is usually due to poor plan- ning on the part of the students. Computer registration, com- mon at other state universities, was one suggestion shared by many frustrated students. Students could not pick both the teacher and the desired time if we utilized computer registra- tion, said Wallace. It would also take three days to add and drop a class. The present MSU registration system allows students to simply choose an alternative section while still in the Field House before completing registration. 72 Limelight According to Wallace, the cost of computer registration would be enormous. Although enrollment equalled last year ' s, Wallace said the figure was less than previous years. He credited the drop in students to MSU ' s status as an urban univer- sity. Approximately 80 per cent of the student body are commuters. Many do not decide until the last minute to come to registration. Also, many students alternate working and college each semester. Though no improvements to the system are eminent, Wallace has a few suggestions to ease registra- tion. Apply at least six months early. Remember, application does not insure acceptance. Also choose your classes before coming to the Field House. . m «- Above left: For many, the last step at registra- tion is the most painful.

The crowd laughed and ap- plauded the efforts of Jingle Bells, the wonder dog — The only dog in the world who can ' t do anything. Three sure-footed cats, Gunther, Gable and Williams, and Susie, the ballerina monkey, added to the fun. Peppy, a small white poodle, stole the show with her climbing feats. Notice how she does a chin- up with every step, laughed ringmaster Nick Weber, as the dog made determined progress toward the top of the ladder. Above: Jim Jackson pushes a steel spike through a balloon as Weber watches in dis- belief. Top: Jim Jackson tosses the final balls into the net in preparation for a magic trick. ,i Juggling, magic and fire- swallowing acts also filled the show. Assistants Jim Jackson and Mitch Kincannon portrayed stories of clowns, told jokes and performed an escape trick. It ' s the world ' s smallest circus, performed by the world ' s smallest minds, proclaimed Weber, foun- der of the circus. A Jesuit priest, Weber formed the Royal Leichenstein Circus seven years ago after teaching high school physics. The circus was my first pas- sion as a child, so I followed it. Now I travel and bring laughter and pleasure to people. He and his crew were on the road eight months last year and performed over 200 shows in 40 states, entertaining at shopping centers, parks and colleges. Of the circus life, they all agreed, It ' s a fun life — you ' re always tired, but it ' s fun. Top: Nick Weber carefully explains the secrets of his magic box to the audience.

A minature barker called out to interested spectators while horses, clowns, snakes and other acts waited backstage. The mood was set, and the crowd of children and adults anxiously awaited the opening act. Magic was in the air as the National Marionette Theater, un- der the direction of David Syrotiak presented Circus un- der a minature big top at Memphis State. A puppeteer for 25 years, Syrotiak began the National Marionette Theater in 1965. The Troupe traveled 45,000 miles last year and gave over 200 perfor- mances. Puppets were works of art to Syrotiak. They ' re a tool to ex- press myself. Performing is only half of puppetry. The marionettes, hand carved of wood, stood about 2V2 feet tall. It takes a few hours to adjust to a new puppet and learn what it can and can ' t do, according to Syrotiak. Circus was an exciting perfor- mance filled with unusual acts. Merlin the Magician, obviously getting on in years, levitated his assistant Guenevere who assumed every position but the correct one. Madame Catherine and her trained Doggy experienced a lack of communication as the feisty canine chased his mistress right off the stage. A knife thrower, trapeze artist, clowns, a trained chicken and other surprise entertainers completed the show. Top right: Meenie, Minie, and Mo sing a tune in a barbershop quartet style.

Members of the Student Government Association joined with handicapped students in a wheel-a-thon. Wheelchair races were held with the handicapped students usually coming out on top. SGA members cited the reason for their defeat as the afternoon heat and the difficulty in manuevering the wheelchairs. The purpose of the function was to raise money for a shuttle bus to transport the handicapped around campus. Unfortunately, due to student apathy only $46 was raised.

Day or night it was the center of life. Delving deep into the shelves of knowledge students discovered the library was also a center of academics. Among its contents were a myriad of more than 3,975,813 volumes, tapes, microfilms, newspapers and government documents on every subject from anthropology to Zen Buddhism. Specialized books were com- bined into collections located in the departments of music, chemistry, engineering and at the Speech and Hearing Center. The Mississippi Valley Collection in the Old Brister Library housed the University archives and provided students with materials reflecting the history of the Mid- South area. Not only did students find the library a vital organ of academic life, but its quietness and solitude lent itself well as a place for resting a tired mind. In no other building on campus could academics be epitomized so fully as in the big tower. Top: The tower of the Brister Library is the tallest building on campus.

Five teachers who were willing to devote time and energy to the classroom and to research were selected as Distinguished Teachers at Memphis State Uni- versity. These instructors had as their greatest aim to provide the students with a superior educa- tion. From this dedication they achieved professional satisfaction and the highest honor awarded to a teacher at the University. Those selected were full-time instructors nominated by stu- dents, alumni and other faculty members. Five Receive Distinguished Teaching Citations Academics 81 82 Academics Left: Dr. Billy M. Jones, president of Memphis State University, is shown receiving the Memphis Civitan ' s Outstanding Citizen of 1977 award from Dr. Fenwick Chappell, chairman of the Downtown Memphis Civitan Club ' s Outstanding Citizen Committee. Standing at his side is Dr. Jones ' wife, Doris. Among the reasons cited for Dr. Jones ' selec- tion were his support of the successful Continu- ing Education program at MSU; his initiation of the Academic Enrichment campaign, which raised over $2 million to enrich the community and MSU by adding nationally known experts to the MSU faculty to teach and conduct research; and his efforts to culturally develop the Memphis area by bringing to MSU visiting experts including actor Gig Young for a Univer- sity theatre production and Eric Goldman, dis- tinguished historian and writer, as guest lec- turer. Dr. Jones has served as president of Memphis State University since September 1, 1973. Prior to coming to MSU, he served as president of Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. A team effort was cited by President Billy M. Jones as the reason for his being named Citizen of the Year by the Memphis Civitan Club. It would be impossible to give everybody involved with this Uni- versity the award, said Presi- dent Jones, and I feel that I received this award through Memphis State. I was thrilled to receive this honor, but we have to keep striv- ing to meet the new demands of society. I ' m sure that other changes will come. President Jones added that he felt the greatest demand now was in the education of the older class of students. Look at the University College, said Jones. They are a more mature group of students in- terested in a more individualistic type of studies. Most students find security in a pre-structured program. But a more mature student looks for more. The University College gives them a chance to design their own program of study. For example, while we have no classical studies per se, one can build his own classical studies program by taking related courses in different departments. Jones also said that the needs of society come from almost every quarter of the community. While it is true that one receives a great deal of learning from age 18-22, said Jones, the actual learning process continues long after. An average person changes oc- cupations four to six times. He must either go back to his new job in an internship or, as most people do, take night courses to learn his new occupation. Jones stressed that the Univer- sity offers courses that directly af- fect the local community. It would be foolish for us to of- fer the same type program as one offered in, say, Detroit, said Jones. But, even though Jones ex- pressed the importance of con- tinuing education, he said, The University ' s primary concern is still the 20,000 undergraduates and graduates who come here to receive a quality education. I like this student body, said Jones. And it seems like a good one. The students here have a no- nonsense attitude. They are busy, work hard, and appear to be cheerful and happy.

He practiced law for 14 years and his views and opinions on legal education were an asset to the Law school. Dean White stated that legal educa- tion produces liberally educated professional people trained in the area of law who are capable of handling and confronting legal problems upon graduation. A new Law Clinic gave the School of Law students an oppor- tunity to get experience and credit while helping MSU students and faculty members who were referred to the clinic for legal counselling. The main method of instruction consisted of analysis and classroom discussion of selected judical opinions. This was sup- plemented by seminars, lectures and topical research. The 16 year old school was classified as a middle size school with about 550 mainly Tennessee students. Academics S College of Communication and Fine Arts The departments of journalism, art, music and speech and drama were removed from the College of Arts and Sciences and were com- bined to form a new college — the College of Communication and Fine Arts. Journalism students had the opportunity to work with televi- sion station WKNO, write for the student newspaper, the Helmsman, the Desoto yearbook, or the Memphis Statesman, the laboratory newspaper. Students also worked as interns with local public relations and advertising firms. Speech and drama majors worked diligently on play produc- tions. Art students were given the chance to show off their crea- tions in a spring art sale. Music students were involved in the Memphis Symphony, which held its practices on campus, and the Southern Opera Company, in residence at Memphis State University. 88 Academics Above left: Memphis State opera group pre- sents Chanticleer.

Students Reach For Effective Communication Rather than beautiful, extem- poraneous speeches a person pass- ing the classrooms of voice dic tion and oral interpretation would be more likely to hear grunts and groans. Students in the Speech and Drama Department at Memphis State University tried to improve their speech patterns while imitating natural gestures and movements. Various relaxation and breathing exercises which helped the student free his natural voice were used in the classes of Dr. Lea Queener. One relaxation exercise re- quired 15 minutes to do and called for an inner massage of the body as students relaxed bones and untensed muscles. Using phoenetic gestures in the process of pronunciation, they learned to improve erratic speech habits such as articulation by focusing on pitch, stress and steadiness in speaking ability and interpretation. 90 Academics Top left: Freshmen drama majors lift their vowel sounds to the ceiling.

College of Arts and Sciences The liberal arts — English, history, biology, etc. — were organized within the College of Arts and Sciences, which offered degrees in the natural sciences, the humanities and the social and physical sciences. Though basically comprised of traditional courses the college was extremely modern. Sophisticated equipment found in the Electron Microscopy Center was in- strumental in medical training. Political science majors gained a working knowledge of politics through internships set up in cooperation with the Tennessee General Assembly. The anthropology department tended and operated the prehistoric In- dian village and museum, Chucalissa. The University was also affiliated with the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory where un- dergraduates took courses in marine biology during the sum- mer months. Academics 93 94 Academics MSU Revises P.E. Requirements The new academic policy regarding the physical education course requirement created hostile feelings in the fall. Because the administration did not ask the approval of the Academic Senate or the Dean ' s Council before the change was made, the Academic Senate asked for a chance to debate the change before it was finalized. President Billy M. Jones and the Board of Regents, however, authorized the change which was scheduled for im- plementation in fall ' 78. The new policy changed the course credit hours from one to two, reducing the number of P.E. courses required from four to two. It was changed to increase credit hour production to generate significant financial remunera- tion for the University.

The College of Education had nine departments including two graduate depart- ments. Seventy-five per cent of all teachers in the Memphis schools, both public and private, held at least one degree from Memphis State. One of the biggest assets of the college was the Children ' s school on MSU campus. Teaching in- ternships were available to senior education students and tutor and teacher ' s aid positions were open to sophomore and junior educa- tion majors as well as seniors. Started at MSU by the Depart- ment of Special Education and Rehabilitation, Project MEMPHIS was established for aiding the developmentally delayed preschool student and his parent. This program was such a success that the other 50 states and some foreign countries adopted it. Top left: Dean Robert L. Sanders.

The College of Education also trained teachers in other specialized programs. One program was the Orff method of music instruction.

Academics 99 College of Business Administration In the College of Business Ad- ministration many students took advantage of the internships of- f ered by various businesses in the Memphis area. Besides preparing the students for the world of business the interships gave them the opportunity to view new techniques and functions of businesses. Other benefits opened to majors in the college were computer ter- minals, secretarial practice offices and data processing facilities. Prominent Memphis businessmen frequently visited the College of Business Ad- ministration to aid students in their search for careers and to answer questions.

Academics 103 College of Engineering The approach to learning utilized by Herff College of engineering was one of experimen- tation with the same tools used by professionals. Some of the equip- ment was found in the Hybrid Computation and Systems Con- trol Laboratory which held a digital computer interfaced to an analog computer. Interships gave many students the opportunity to gain practical experience. The college opened a pre-med engineering program for students who wanted to pursue a career in medicine but were aware of the opportunities open to a technical science major who decided not to enter medical school. Graduates in the program held an engineer- ing degree and had all the require- ments for med school. The Herff College of Engineer- ing coupled with individual creativity geared students to suc- cessful jobs and careers in all fields of engineering. 104 Academics Opposite page: left: Dean Roger E.

A STATION ©EPICENTER Quake Center Records Fault Activity Because Memphis and the Mid- South were listed by the U.S. Geological Survey as a high risk earthquake area, the government provided funds for the develop- ment of the Tennessee Earth- quake Information Center on the Memphis State campus. The seismographs used by the center were located in the base- ment of the engineering building and recorded movements in the earth ' s crust in vertical motion. Dr. Lawrence Lackey, assistant professor of geology and director of the newly founded center, stated that plans were to set up stations in Memphis and around the southern area of Tennessee. These stations would radio all movements to the main staff and center at MSU. There is no New Madrid fault, said Dr. Lackey, but dif- ferent zones of activity and groups of faults. According to the map shown at the left, quakes occur most often in northwestern Tennessee and southeastern Missouri along a series of different faults. These quakes were previously measured by the St. Louis Earthquake Cen- ter. When the government gives the Tenneesee Earthquake Informa- tion Center the added funds it needs and if research goes as plan- ned, earthquake prediction in heavy activity areas of the Mid- South will become routine ac- tivity.

The University must serve as curator and transmitter of culture. At the same time it must address the continuing revolu- tions in knowledge, consciousness, values, equality and work and find ways to help people avoid drowning in the whirlpool of change. Offering opportunities for continued learning throughout a lifetime is one way Memphis State University has chosen to deal with purpose. MSU President Billy M. Jones, issued this statement and soon af- Top: Student loosens up before beginning her Yoga exercises. Right: Strange contortions combined with meditation promote good health and appearance. 112 Academics ter MSU opened its doors to the community with an expanded continuing education program. People of all ages enrolled in a variety of programs including everything from fork lift operating to Chinese cookery. A very popular course was Yoga, a method of exercise designed to promote the in- dividual ' s good health and ap- pearance and at the same time, provide mental relaxation. As a growing part of MSU and the Memphis area the Continuing Education Department offered a bridge to help achieve the expan- sion of knowledge. Left: Deep concentration and a limber body are needed for some continuing education classes. Academics 113 University College For those students who dis- covered their career aspirations could not be met through any traditional major, the University College offered new directions for those wh o wished to formulate their own study programs. Often termed self-directed , students informed their adviser of the course they wished to pursue. The adviser tried helping the student coordinate studies using the Uni- versity ' s unlimited resources. As Susanne Darnell, ad- ministrative assistant to Dean Hatala, explained, The college is geared to the mature student who has goals in mind. Many of these students are older and work full time. Andi Yates, sophomore, designed her own program which included courses in theatre, music, dancing and journalism and called it Performance and Construction Communication. The University College gives me the leeway to incorporate my various interests into a practical study program, said Miss Yates. Anne Gillis trained for a career in Recreational Therapy, which involved helping handicapped persons help themselves. Her course of study included home economics, psychology, recrea- tion, physical education and health. Miss Gillis is working on her thesis, a requirement for all seniors in the University College. Since the college opened in 1975 it has become increasingly pop- ular. Many students found it of- fered the opportunities in educa- tion for which they had been searching. Right: Dean Robert J. Hatala. 114 Academics Counselors Recruit Students The Office of Student Relations was dedicated to Memphis State University students, prospective students, counselors and other in- dividuals interested in Memphis State. The office sponsored many ac- tivities, among which was an Honors Day for high school seniors held on the MSU campus. Office representatives were also sent to various high schools in the area on college night to answer questions about MSU and give accurate in- formation about different depart- ments.

They cared about their fellow students enough to plan and carry out extracurricular activities, reform our academic and administrative policies, open dormitories, balance budgets and even produce campus publica- tions. They were the ones who stayed busy late at night while their friends were out at Across the Tracks and the Varsity Inn. The rest of the student body could not understand how they had time to combine the extracurricular with the academic. Yet, they did it. Thirty-six Memphis State stu- dents were elected by a committee of students and faculty members during the fall to be listed in the 1978 edition of Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. According to Vice President for Student Educational Services, Donald Carson, the students were chosen on the basis of their service to the University and the stu- dent ' s promise of future usefulness to the nation. 116 Academics Above: Elsie Louise Cooke, Marcie Lee Morrell, David Andrew Dolan. 1 ____ _____ — — -,_- Below: William Robertson Moore, Carol Cole McLester, John Michael Morris.

Those who were directly involved in sports discovered much more than brute strength was involved. Athletes who worked and sweated to prepare for competition took their game seriously. They felt joy when they were successful and pain when failure struck. Spectators also made dis- coveries. As they sat in the stands they soon realized they were vicariously participating in the sporting events. The viewers too felt the joy and pain. Whether the team won or lost, dedicated fans did not desert; they were proud to Be One — A Tiger Fan. Top: Action from the top, bottom, and sides — that ' s MSU football.

Some nights they played with the expertise of Southeastern Conference teams; other nights it seemed like fumbles and crippling injuries were the best they could manage. See-sawing battles kept spectator excitement high, but upsets by North Texas State and Louisville left fans stunned. Even the ball had a lot of ups and downs. The Tigers attempted more field goals than ever before making 13 — the most ever by a MSU team in one season. Several players received outstanding awards.

Memphis State opened the football season by travelling to Jackson, Miss., to play its traditional rival — the Ole Miss Rebels. The game, billed as a great offensive battle, turned into a defensive struggle. Ole Miss struck first following a 38 yard drive scoring a touchdown from the 19 yard line. Freshman place-kicker, Rusty Bennett, scored the only Tiger points with a 30 yard field goal. The final score was Ole Miss 7 — MSU 3. Snapping back from the loss, the Tigers met the Green Wave of Tulane in the first home game of the season. The offense came alive with precision passing and run- ning. The Tiger defensive prowess continued to be strong. Rusty Bennett ' s expertise in place kick- ing helped carry the Tigers to a 27-9 win. 130 Athletics Left: Keith Wright clutches the pigskin while a Cardinal defender pulls him to the ground.

In one of the season ' s finest ef- forts, f he Tigers silenced the cow- bells and sent Mississippi State fans back to Starkville with nothing to cheer about. The Tiger ' s 21-13 victory was MSU ' s first win over the Bulldogs since 1965. It also marked the first time Mississippi State head coach Bob Tyler had lost to a non-SEC team.

Memphis State continued to hold the lead until the final 29 seconds, when the Cardinals made a three point play then went up for two more points for a final 78-75. The losing streak was broken with two winning games against the University of Cincinnati. The MSU roundballers utilized their strong defense and full court press to overcome a nine point deficit in the second half of the home game. However, Cincinnati later regained the lead to pull ahead 40- 39, but to the delight of the cheerleading home fans, Memphis State hustled for a 67-63 victory. Dennis Isbell scored a team-high 18 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.

Vikki Young assumed this position Sept 1. Credited with organizing and developing the new program, she collected information and es- tablished contacts with local radio, television and newspapers for the promotion of women ' s athletics. She was also responsible for all publications dealing with the women ' s events, such as game schedules and programs. Miss Young graduated from Northwestern State University of Louisiana, where she majored in health, safety and physical educa- tion. She was voted outstanding P.E. Major of 1975, and was runner-up to Miss NSU the following year. An honor graduate, Miss Young was listed in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges and was president of NSU ' s Panhellenic Council. She also held membership in Delta Psi Kappa physical education honorary sorority and Kappa Delta Pi education honor society.

Athletics 177 Lady Tigers Speed Past Opponents In High Style What the Lady Tigers lacked in height they made up for in speed and experience. Their 1977-78 season line-up included rival op- ponents UT Knoxville, Delta State and the 1976 state cham- pion Tennessee Tech. Increased recruiting efforts strengthened the Lady Tigers ' starting line-up and added to their bench support. Coach Mary Lou Johns, assisted by Mickie DeMoss, led the Tigers for her seventh season. Because of outstanding past season records, the University funded an extensive facelift for the fieldhouse. The floor was stripped and a new Lady Tiger emblem added. Because of the increased prestige and popularity of women ' s basketball, a Lady Tiger Basketball Booster Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes Women ' s chapter and a Lady Tigers Athletic Council were formed.

Involvement 189 HI v. May The (Air) Force Be With You Many students thought that Air Force ROTC cadets spent most of their time marching in the ranks. But, that was only a part of the ROTC program. Social functions ranging from casual fall picnics to formal din- ner dances like Dining Out oc- cupied much of the cadets time. Intramural sports including softball, football and bowling gave cadets a chance to work and play together while learning the impor- tance of involvement in campus activities.

While everyone in Memphis was freezing, these cadets enjoyed the sunshine on the beach. The cadets visited Cape Kennedy and viewed the assembly sites and launch pads for American space vehicles. Academic performance remained the most important part of the student ' s life. Each cadet had to earn a college education in order to receive the gold bars of a second lieutenant.

Their objectives were simple — to compile the events of the 1977-78 academic year inside the yearbook cover and to insure that the end product represented the very best that they had to of- fer. The benefits seemed, at first glance, negligible when compared to the efforts. There was no paycheck for the hours put in at the office bent over a typewriter or a layout pad. Instead, the DeSoto offered some experience in the basic principles of journalism and a few close friendships. Upper left: Laurie Morris, Involvement editor, examines her tiles for a contract.

Through the continuing education class, students studied sections of the Bible and held discussions on present day problems. Activities for members included worship, counseling, concerts, retreats, low cost meals and a day care center for children. This organization provided a Christian ministry to the MSU community.

Affiliated with Maranatha Chapel and eighteen other Chris- tian centers located throughout Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Ontario, Canada, the Maranatha Christian Fellowship attempted to reach the student with the message of Jesus Christ. Once a week on campus and twice weekly at the Maranatha Chapel, members discussed pro- jects and prepared for seminars. A variety of films were shown every two weeks and a Francis Schaelffer Film Seminar with a concert in the spring provided the interested student with many ac- tivities. A leadership training seminar was also held one weekend each month. The group has been active on campus for approximately one and a half years. 238 Involvement Inspirational Notes Resound From Singers Songs of inspiration and praise engulfed the audiences of the Black Gospel Choir. With con- certs every semester, members spent many hours in practice for such figures as Julian Bond, U. S. Senator from Georgia. Not only did an individual get the opportunity to sing religious works, said Kenneth Brown, but he learned to develop other characteristics. The choir gives all students who participate a chance to develop personal qualities out- side of the classroom, such as leadership abilities, loyalty, cooperation as well as adap- tability.

Searching for one ' s beliefs and goals was a task each individual had to encounter. At times it became necessary to rely on hope, a metaphysical force or facts in or- der to aid one in the accomplish- ment of his goal. Memphis State University sponsored over 15 different religious organizations. If a stu- dent was unable to find his par- ticular sect, Religious Affairs, headed by R. Ronald Burgess, at- tempted to introduce students holding the same religious ideals. Playing ping pong at the Bap- tist Student Union, worshipping in services at Barth House or at- tending Bible study at the New- man Foundation enabled a person to see all the facets that life had to offer. Michael Gatlin, graduate student, said, They provide a convenient place to meet friends, relax, study, catch a quick nap or worship.

Discovery of a group willing to share this terror was a welcome one. While sharing with others the joy, anger, disgust and hilarity that came along with university life, a student was better enabled to overcome feelings of in- significance.

PEDALERS SQUEAL THEIR WHEELS Three years ago Phi Kappa Psi fraternity established the Phi Psi 500 in order to raise money for the support of LeBonheur Children ' s Hospital in Memphis. Competitors were members of Memphis State University sororities. The contest consisted of one month ' s work prior to the race it- self during which time the girls collected donations from Memphians for the hospital ' s use by selling LeBonheur bumper stickers. The race was run in two heats around an obstacle course set up on the track behind the Fieldhouse. Delta Gamma sorority was the champion, receiving the highest number of points for money collected and performance in the race. They raised $1200 which add- ed to the total $2350 Phi Kappa Psi earned for LeBonheur. Above: Delta Gamma rejoices upon being named champion of the big race.

All Sing was established for competition among Greek organizations in 1949. Evolving from an annual Christmas carol- ing tradition, the contest remained holiday oriented until the mid 1950 ' s when the theme became different each year. Thanks for the Memories was the theme of last year ' s show. Alpha Delta Pi sorority captured first place by recalling favorite tunes by the Fifth Dimension while the music of Barry Manilow made Lambda Chi Alpha frater- nity a winner. Second place trophies were awarded to Delta Gamma sorority and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Lambda Chi received an added honor a few weeks later when Barry Manilow listened to a recording of their performance and played it after his Memphis concert.

It was a warm and friendly time among sorority members; yet, to those who were not invited back to parties and those who were cut from bid lists it was an oddly cold time. The first day of rush found members and rushees in a bundle of nerves. Many found themselves frightened, disappointed and dis- illusioned; while others looked as if their happiness would never fade. During the second round of par- ties, small talk began to focus on the sorority — the awards, the ac- tivities, the jewelry and the charities. Rushees were told of pledge swaps, pot luck dinners, Delta Zeta Follies and 1001 other things the sorority participated in during the year. For members the nights did not end with the parties. They ended in the wee hours of the morning after long and exhausting mem- bership selection meetings. By mid-week most of the rushees were so confused by the mumbo-jumbo of Greek letters that many even doubted if they belonged in a sorority. Friday night preference parties were beautiful with hors d ' ouevers and melon balls and finger sandwiches and fun, yet the sobriety of impending bid day filled the air with tension. When bid day finally came tears of happiness filled the eyes of many rushees and members alike while tears left their tracks on the cheeks of disappointed girls.

Greeks, 259 Panhellenic Council Coordinates Sororities ' Efforts In 1891 representatives of seven Greek letter organizations met in Boston for the improvement of sorority conditions. After a second meeting in 1902 a national govern- ing board for Greeks, the National Panhellenic Council, was born. The NPC coordinated all inter- Greek relations for its member sororities. The Panhellenic Council at Memphis State was granted a charter on Feb. 26, 1973. Serving as coordinator for the eight NPC sororities on campus, Panhellenic encouraged high social, cultural and scholastic standards for all Greeks.

Not only did Mrs. Ridings hold a master ' s degree in guidance and student personnel, but she was very active in a college sorority. She served as president of her sorority at Eastern New Mexico State University and visited dif- ferent chapters of the sorority throughout the United States as a traveling collegiate secretary. Under her direction improve- ments were made in the sorority rush system and a Junior Pan- hellenic Council was established so that sorority pledges might have a voice in Panhellenic af- fairs.

Greeks 261 Alpha Gams Are First A FA After many whispered con- ferences in the halls of Syracuse University, Alpha Gamma Delta fraternity was founded May 30, 1904. The ritual was begun, the chapter constitution was adopted, and the badge was designed. Red, buff and green were chosen as the fraternity colors; the squirrel, a symbol of energetic alertness and progress, was adopted as the mascot. Alpha Gamma Delta was the first National Panhellenic Council group to adopt an altruistic work. In 1919, the group established summer camps for under- privileged children. Today Alpha Gam ' s national philanthropy in- volves raising money to support the Cleft Palate Association. Previous to colonization at Memphis State, Alpha Gamma Delta was a local sorority named Xi Beta Nu, founded by a group of women with high aims for scholarship, character, sisterhood and Christian tradition. Xi Beta Nu became chapter 56 of the international fraternity, Alpha Gamma Delta, April 12, 1957. 262 Greeks To Aid Charities Front row from the left: Linda Wheeler, Deb- bie White, Maria Aviotti, Cheri Cox, Jeanie Palmer, Cindy MacDonald, Debbie Bonner, Nancy Workman, Peggy Polk, Carla Butler, Melisse Sloas, Terri Thompson, Betsy Black, Cindy Ball.

' - ■ In the spring of 1851 a small group of women at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Ga., secretly organized the Adelphean Society. Its membership was highly selective, choosing girls only with intellectual and moral worth and dignity of character. The first secret society for college women in the world, Adelphean Society became Alpha Delta Pi sorority in 1913. Vowing to better themselves morally, mentally and socially the founders chose as their motto, We live for each other. Azure blue and white were chosen as of- ficial colors, and the badge, a dia- mond. Present on the badge were two clasped hands, symbolizing the motto.

Greeks ,26o Use Of Term Sorority Is r B Four young women at Syracuse University organized a new society known as Gamma Phi Beta, Nov. 11, 1874. Gamma Phi Beta was active eight years before forming its second chapter at the University of Michigan. With the installation of the Alpha Alpha chapter at the University of Toronto in 1919 it became an international sorority. The Memphis State University chapter, Gamma Alpha, began with a letter dated March 18, 1950, from a national officer to the Dean of Women at Memphis State College requesting that Gamma Phi Beta be considered for installation on the campus. Shortly after Memphis State College achieved university status in 1957, Gamma Phi was issued an 266 Greeks Begun By Gamma Phi Beta Front row from left: Melinda MacDonalu Posey Henning, Lisa Naylor, Sandy Jacobs, Nancy Tyner, Dana Hooks, Lorrie Gable, Kim Foutch, Becky Ford, Janet Holt.

The first initiation took place March 14, 1955. In 1882, the women of Gamma Phi were first to use the word sorority in reference to women ' s societies when a Latin professor coined the word whose root is the Latin word for sister. Creeks 267 268 Greeks Horticulturist Cultivates Delta Gamma Rose Snowbound over the 1873 Christmas holidays at the Lewis School (later absorbed by the Un- iversity of Mississippi,) three young women organized a society for women and men that grew into Delta Gamma fraternity. The fraternity adopted sight conservation and aid to the blind as its national philanthropy. Delta Gamma spent much effort to assist the program, including the establishment and support of a nursery school for visually han- dicapped children in Los Angeles. Victims of World War I were aided by funds supplied by Delta Gammas, and an orphanage was established by the sorority in Belgium. Delta Gamma ' s official flower was the cream-colored rose. Until last year there was never a rose of a true cream color. A hor- ticulturist in Texas cultivated a flower of the proper hue and named it the Delta Gamma Rose. Delta Zeta chapter of Delta Gamma was founded in 1965, the youngest National Panhellenic Council Sorority at Memphis State.

Its founders were among the first women to be ad- mitted to the university under the new administration of Dr. Guy Potter Benton. Because of his assistance and continued interest in Delta Zeta, Dr. Benton was named their grand patron. The founders of Delta Zeta first announced its formation at a street fair in Oxford where the whole campus community was present. The six girls marched down the street carrying red, white and blue canes with ribbon streamers of rose and green, which later became the sorority ' s colors. Not long afterwards the group made its debut with a rose recep- tion at the home of its first presi- dent. The Gamma Iota chapter of Delta Zeta was founded at MSU in February, 1948. One of its ma- jor accomplishments was the crea- tion of Delta Zeta Follies, which became a tradition at MSU and at several universities across the country.

As a memorial to its founders, Pi Phi established Arrowmont, a settlement school in Gatlinburg, Tenn. From a one room begin- ning, Arrowmont grew to a 12 year school offering graduate and un- dergraduate credit from the Un- iversity of Tennessee. The academic and medical facilities of the school eventually came under the state of Ten- nessee ' s care.

It chose the dove, a symbol of beauty, purity and Biblical significance, as its mascot. An official jewel, the pearl, was chosen because its color suggested purity; its spherical shape denoted a well-rounded character; and its smoothness indicated smooth adaptability. Although the pansy was chosen the official flower by the founders of Sigma Kappa, at an 1892 re- union a decision was made to change the flower to the violet because of the beauty and modesty of the flower. The open motto, one that all Sigma Kappas abide by, was One heart, one way. Beta Xi chapter of Sigma Kappa, previously known as the local Gamma Tau Alpha social club for women was formed in 1947.

The group became socially and municipally impor- tant as its membership roll grew. On August 4, 1904, the group changed its name to Phi Mu fraternity. In 1911 it was admitted to the National Panhellenic Con- ference. Kappa Lambda chapter was chartered in 1947 at Memphis State. In 1963 Phi Mu adopted HOPE (Health Opportunities for People Everywhere) as its national philanthropy. Phi Mu ' s respected the same high standards as the first Philomathean Society. The mem- bers participated in numerous campus activities. But To lend to those less fortunate continued to be the most important purpose for Phi Mu ' s.

In 1939 the fraternity merged with Thet a Kappa Nu and added 7,000 members to its 21,000. The Zeta Theta chapter at Memphis State originated as the Triangle Club in 1944, changed to Delta Sigma Chi and finally was colonized as Lambda Chi Alpha in 1948. Prospective members of Lambda Chi were called associates rather than pledges, when the group abort- ed the traditional pledging program. Each associate had the rights and responsibilities of an active member with the exception that associates were not permitted to know the ritual until the time of their initiation. 282 Greeks At Lambda Chi AXA Front row from the left: Mike Garrett, Mike Payne, Jim Laycock, Bill Oliver, Rick Barrett, Jeff Foley, Danny Quinn.

S K An epidemic of typhoid fever at Jefferson College in Pennsylvania fostered the establishment of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. Bedside friendships led to permanent ones with the founding of Phi Kappa Psi on Feb. 19, 1852. Since its birth in 1970 on Memphis State ' s campus, the local chapter has endeavored to serve those less fortunate than themselves with the sponsorship of the Phi Psi 500. Monies raised in this activity were sent to Lebonheur Children ' s Hospital. 284 Greeks Phi Kappa Theta ' s Ritual Devised By Rival Greek Phi Kappa Theta fra ternity was founded twice, at two different places. The earlier date, October 1, 1899 is cited as the official date. Phi Kappa and Theta Kappa Phi were fraternities at Brown and Lehigh Universities, respectively, and were united to form Phi Kappa Theta. The ritual of Phi Kappa Theta was written by a Catholic priest who was an initiate of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. For this service he was granted honorary membership into the club at Lehigh. The chapter was chartered in 1969 at Memphis State. Front row from left: Sandy Berlin, Bill Ted- ford, Jim Bynum, George Reagan, Frank Case, David Cooper.

The fraternity took on the respon- sibility for the maintenance of the first building on the campus, the McMillan Log Cabin, along with Phi Kappa Psi, another fraternity also founded at Jefferson.

In 1880, at the University of the South, Alpha Tau Omega ac- quired the first house owned by any fraternity at a southern college. One of the newer fraternities on campus, the Zeta Rho chapter of Alpha Tau Omega was founded in 1965, one hundred years after the fraternity was begun.

The fraternity was among the first to use a system of chapter visitation by national represen- tatives. Pi Kappa Phi also con- ducted a leadership school for its undergraduate officers called Pi Kapp College. Since its formation in 1966, the Gamma Delta chapter at Memphis State has followed the Pi Kappa Phi purpose: To promote fellowship and mutual trust among its members, to up- hold the traditions and ideals of the colleges where its chapters are located, to encourage excellence in scholarship, and to inoculate in its members the highest ideals of Christian manhood and good citizenship. Greeks 289 Woman Keeps The standards of the true gen- tleman laid the basis for the founding of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at the University of Alabama in March of 1856. When the brothers of the SAE chapter at Kentucky Military In- stitute left to join the Confederate Army in 1861 they left their ritual and other secrets under the care of Lucy Pattie, a belle of the college community. So grateful were they to her that upon reinstatement of the chapter after the war, they initiated her as the only female member of the frater- nity. The Tennessee Sigma chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was found- ed at Memphis State in October, 1953. 290 Greeks Secrets Of SAE SAE Front row from the left: Stoney Sailer, Blinky Trezevant, Big Daddy Taylor, Miner Knott, Gee Whiz Moore.

But those eight clubs did not offer the kind of fellowship that a group of twelve ministerial students sought. In November of 1901 those men, known as The Saturday Night Club adopted the Greek letters Sigma Phi Epsilon. After their es- tablishment they were called the Sacred Hearts, and in October of 1902 they became national with the addition of chapters at five other schools. Tennessee Beta chapter at Memphis State was originally the Clackstonian Literary Society, founded in 1912. In 1947 it became the Seymour Alan Mynders Club after the women in the society organized a chapter of Alpha Delta Pi sorority. Two years later the men in the club were granted a charter from Sigma Phi Epsilon. Opposite page: Above: Front row from left: Bob Foley, Mike Fergus, Don McCollough.

Members of the fraternity who served under General Joseph E. Johnston made up the Con- stantine chapter of the group while serving in the Confederate Army.

A society, formed at the Univer- sity of Bologna for protection from the evil governor, spread to other European universities. In 1869 its principles were combined with those of Jeffersonian democracy to form Kappa Sigma fraternity. It was begun at the University of Virginia by five students, three of whom had studied at Bologna and had been associated with the secret society there. The birth of the Epsilon Pi chapter of Kappa Sigma at Memphis occurred in 1950.

Pi Kappa Alpha Is First Greek Colony In 1868 a group of Confederate Civil War veterans found them- selves united again as students at the University of Virginia. Bonds developed during the war were made permanent with the es- tablishment of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. The national offices of Pi Kappa Alpha were located in Memphis at Southwestern Un- iversity, where one of the early chapters was located.

MEMPHIS STATE - ' UNIVERSITY 312 Students Students Examine Campus Life J.t had been several hun- dred years since Hernando DeSoto stood on the Chickasaw Bluffs and gazed upon the most remarkable discovery in the New World, when students returned to campus in the fall. But things were not so different. There may not have been un- found wonders on the scale of the Mississippi to discover, but stu- dents at MSU happened upon things daily that were occasions for almost as much wonder as DeSoto must have felt on viewing the mightiest river in North America. MSU students were asked what they had discovered at the U- niversity. Their answers ranged from the abstract — how to live in the world — to the precise — it ' s a lot different from Arkansas.

Some students talked about discoveries of a personal nature. One senior said she decided after watching other people that we are all here to glorify God. Others made comments about the policies and conditions on campus. There ' s so much spirit. It ' s depressing. Discoveries on the MSU fron- tier, no matter what they were, were important.

Instead, he regarded its muddy waters only as an obstacle between him and his quest for gold. « ! 358 Discovery: 1978 Above: James King discovers an added glory of football beckons on the sidelines.

Discovery: 1978 359 s DeSoto saw the river as a barrier, many students at Memphis State University may have seen the lingering semesters and almost endless assignments in 1978 as obstacles too. They endured college for the sake of the degree which possibly ensured a career. 360 Above left: Sharon Sweeney travels in time to the age of the flapper during a sorority rush party.

Without abandoning his search, he direc- ted his thoughts to the river to determine what resources its vastness contained. Likewise, students daily examined the University and made discoveries. Each semester held thoughts never before ex- pressed, answers to unsolved questions, fresh faces to remember. These were the things that would carry him closer to the realization of his goals. 362 Discovery: 1978 Above: In keeping with the increasingly pop- ular skateboard fad, Joey Brent utilizes a basketball court to practice his turns.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost, this is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. —Henry David Thoreau Discovery: 1978 367 Editor ' s Note The first DeSoto was produced by the senior class of West Tennessee Normal School in 1916. About the same time a local poet, Walter Malone, wrote a long narrative poem entitled Hernando DeSoto . The Class of ' 16 was somewhat impressed that a local poet had been published and that his subject was relevant to the Memphis area. After all, Hernando DeSoto did discover the Mississippi River at a point somewhere near Memphis. Let ' s do it, they said in that first classroom used as a yearbook office. Let ' s con- stantly remind people that our area is connect- ed with those golden years of the Renaissance. And so, they titled their memory book DeSoto. Since that time traditions have come and gone at Memphis State; but, the DeSoto has remained. DeSoto is a fitting name for the MSU year- book. It serves as a reminder that discoveries become more important with age. The river was probably nothing more than an obstacle to DeSoto, but since that time, the Mississippi River has become a vital part of American economy and heritage. The discoveries students make while at MSU, too, will become more valuable with age. In time, we will use the knowledge we have ac- quired through long hours of reading and problem solving. Instead of questioning the reasoning behind those long hours we will say thanks, for making me learn that. Even now as my college career comes to a close, I can say thanks to MSU. Thanks for the friendships I have discovered, the information I have gathered and the opportunities the Uni- versity has offered me. It ' s been a real challenge to put together this edition of the DeSoto but I am grateful for the task. Thanks to all the people who helped so much especially my editors: Sandra, Steve, Laura, Cristi, Laurie, Nancy, Tim, Allison and Terie. I extend a special thanks to Mr. Merrill Bankester who was more than an adviser. He was a friend. I could not forget my parents nor Gigi. Their encouragement was a boon. For those who think that the MSU yearbook was named for a vintage automobile — hope that the 1978 DeSoto will serve as a reminder that the official yearbook of MSU is a tribute to Hernando DeSoto — the discoverer of the mighty Mississippi River. And for all interested — Yes, I ' d do it again! Ken Mills ■ I . M ' J 3 : ; 368 Editor ' s Note .
