Michael Smith, clinic assistant, and a colleague exemplify the procedure for doing an intake on a client for therapy services. 62 Features Students Speak Out On MSU Mouth For those students who thought they had no voice on campus, the public service show, MSU Mouth, proved them wrong. MSU Mouth, a weekly presenta- tion of Memphis State ' s Office of Media Relations and the campus radio station, WTGR, was designed to entertain and inform students, faculty and the general public of MSU events and services. Written and produced by radio majors, the 15-minute combination of interviews, comedy skits and public service announcements was heard five times weekly on several local FM stations. MSU Mouth was awarded grand prize in student public affairs programming by the national society, Alpha Epsilon Rho.

Features 63 MSU Honors Herzog For Services Leaving home was not easy for Raymond Herzog, especially since home was the Memphis State campus for 36 years. I had a part in watching MSU grow, said Herzog, who retired as associate director of physical plant and planning. So much has changed from what was and is now. I miss the days when students and teachers knew each other. It was a close-knit campus. I was a part of the students ' lives. The long-time MSU employee came from Missouri with a seventh grade education and began working for the University, attending high school at night. He received his diploma and entered MSU as a stu- dent while he continued to work. He graduated in 1966 with a degree in industrial technology. Herzog was honored at a retire- ment dinner attended by more than 350 people. A street on campus was named in his honor and he was the first recipient of the MSU Ad- ministrative Award in 1977. Herzog planned to serve as manager of the Edward J. Meeman Farm in Meeman Shelby Forest State Park.

Features 67 University Center Spans One Decade The University Center celebrated its 10th anniversary quietly but proudly as it continued to serve the students, faculty, administration, alumni and guests of Memphis State. The UC was not just a building but an organization and a program, together representing a well- considered plan for University life. Many activities and services were supplied by the Center such as the Ticket Office, the Informa- tion Desk, the UC Cafeteria, MSU Bookstore and Food Services. The University Center was home for the Student Government Association, University Programs, the Black Stu- dent Association and the Student Organizational Meeting Area (SOMA). Disco dances were held in the ballroom while lounges were utilized for business meetings. Dis- play cases on the third floor were used by various organizations on campus to make everyone aware of the ever-changing life at Memphis State. The Center created cultural, social and recreational programs to make leisure time a friendly coun- terpart to studies.

Features 69 Variety Sparks Half-Time Shows Of The Mighty Sound of the South A bit of Spain and a touch of Broadway resounded throughout the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium as the Mighty Sound of the South once again entertained Memphis State football fans. Half-time shows such as Pictures of Spain, West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof were perfor- med by the band with the use of original formations, new arrange- ments, precision drills and colorful uniforms. The year began with a summer marching camp in preparation for the football season. The 210-person group included the Tiger Band, Tigerette baton twirlers and the Bengal Lancers. Director Arthur Theil was assisted by Dr. Sidney McKay, assistant professor of music. 70 Features Opposite page: Left: Practice is often less than perfect, especially on a hot, sunny day.

The band sponsored a high school contest with the winner per- forming at half-time of the Southern Mississippi game. Beyond the two cred it hours and the satisfaction received from the performances, band students con- tended that there were many other benefits. Many received music scholarships and most agreed an exceptional music education had been attained. One band member summed it up as a means to justify an end, that end being an educa- on.

Features 73 The search for knowledge to leave the world better than the student found it, kept individuals in the constant task of study. A strong shade tree with a car- pet of green grass or a quiet corner on the campus supplied the solitude re- quired for the studious minded. Academics Anticipation Laboring over a tedious chemical equation or putting the finishing touches on a research paper meant hours committed to study, but each student found his own technique and place of quiet. As one student stated, I catch a quick look at my work in bet- ween classes in my car. It is the only place I can find to review and study. This page: Top right: Judith Anne Earheart takes advantage of a beautiful day and a shade tree.

The Ambassador Board ' s duties, which included campus tours, orientation programs and stu- dent recruitment, involved knowledge of several phases of university life. Student allegiance to the Univer- sity, reflected in both actions and speech, was an important prere- quisite for board membership. Through exposure to alumni, am- bassadors gained an increased awareness of responsibilities that went hand in hand with graduation. Ambassadors were chosen by a panel of administrators, faculty and students. Outstanding leadership was the major criterion for selection.

In its sixth year effort to provide superior students with ex- ceptional educational oppor- tunities, the Honors Program made plans for further expansion with the implementation of a depart- ment al honors curriculum in the College of Education. Through the Honors Student Association, participants in the program were afforded the oppor- tunity to organize and govern them- selves as a body. Monthly meetings of the association gave students a chance to gather socially as well as hear speakers of local and national fame. Endeavoring to widen the scope of the University ' s Honors Program, a delegation of association mem- bers and Honors Program director Dr. Joseph R. Riley attended national, regional, and state collegiate honors conventions. Above: Dr. Joseph R. Riley, director, University Honors Program.

After years of exams, books, drop slips and G.P.A. ' s, representatives of every field of college study were ready to face the world. The mo- ment for which they had worked so long had finally arrived and nothing felt more satisfying. While many were silent with disbelief they had made it this far, others were already planning for graduate school. Besides the obvious emotions of the graduates, other accomplish- ments shined. Parents who had worked to send their child to college were there; teachers who studied for years to educate were there; and wives and husbands who burned the midnight oil typing term papers were there. As for what the future held, most were uncertain. With their training behind them, it was now time to look ahead to the ultimate goal of self-fulfillment. Last year over 3,700 Memphis State students proudly adorned those mortar boards and flowing gowns. It was a time to com- memorate the end of one stage of life and the dawning of a new one. 78 Academics Opposite Page: Top: Moving the tassel is an emotional and symbolic experience.

Environmental studies were com- mon. Dr. Harold R. Bancroft, associate professor of biology, con- ducted studies to control the destructive boll weevil. Making seedlings immune to in- sects and disease was the project of Dr. Neil A. Miller, MSU forest ecologist. He said the program may someday result in a strain of super trees in the Mid-South. During the summer an intensive archaeological dig was held near the Te nn ess e e-To mbigbee Waterway, in Tishomingo County, Miss. Dr. Drexel Peterson, assistant professor of anthropology, scoured the earth for signs of a nomadic In- dian tribe. Artifacts of a hunting ground led to beneficial dis- coveries. Killer amoeba was probed by Dr. Walter Wilhelm, protozoologist and associate professor of biology. Evidence of the deadly amoeba was found in some area lakes. He said the research will continue. Two marvelous products result from research, said Dr. E. P. Segner Jr., associate vice president for research and graduate studies. We gain talented people and new knowledge that can ' t be lost. It is the best investment that we, as Americans, can make. Academics 81 Four educators of exceptional caliber were honored with Memphis State University ' s Distinguished Teacher Award.

I suppose you recall most vividly the things you struggle with the hardest, said President former Cecil C. Humphreys at the renaming of the Law School in his honor. The first commencement exer- cises for law graduates, separate from the other colleges, was held simultaneously with the dedication ceremony. A unique feature of the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law was its legal clinic, located in downtown Memphis. In its second year the clinic allowed senior law students to gain practical experience in courtroom procedure. The training offered by the clinic is equivalent to five years ex- perience in a private law firm, said Lee F. Miller, director. Stu- dents worked 20-25 hours a week in- terviewing clients, filing briefs and handling cases. Students have been requesting this for years, said Pamela Weaver Myers, assistant director of the clinic. Previously law students received no practical knowledge of how to handle themselves in a courtroom. Academics 85 From the study of the earth to the question of man ' s existence, the College of Arts and Sciences con- tinued to open students ' horizons to the world. As the backbone of the Univer- sity, the college offered a strong liberal arts background encompass- ing every field, from foreign languages to criminal justice. Es- sential preparation for any vocation or profession was made available through the educational founda- tions based in major fields of human interest. These fields in- cluded humanities, as well as natural and social sciences. 86 Academics College Of Arts And Sciences Remains Backbone of University Acting Dean Jim Payne continued to direct the College of Arts and Sciences toward growth in enlarg- ing the intellect, deepening the in- sight and refining the judgement of its students.

Academics 87 College of Business Administration Initiates Doctoral Program With the largest number of enrolled students of any college on campus, the College of Business Administration continued to make progress in the field of business and related areas. A new doctoral program was ini- tiated in order to prepare students for careers in college teaching, research and business. Dr. Leonard Rosser, associate dean of the College of Business Ad- ministration, was pleased with the success of the program and the caliber of the students. We were very happy with the applicants, he said. We had several leaders in the business community from Memphis enter our program. In addition to the doctoral program, the College of Business Administration offered specialized programs in the fields of accoun- tancy, economics, management-, marketing and office education.

Academics 89 College of Communication And Fine Arts Enhances Programs During its second year, the College of Communication and Fine Arts made further strides in the departments of music, art, jour- nalism and theater and communica- tion arts. Each department of the college, headed by Dean Richard R. Ranta, was enhanced by numerous features and events. A unique sculpture by Ernest Trova was displayed near the Win- field Dunn Building. The 4000 pound structure was loaned to the art department by art collector Adam Aroson. The Department of Music was in tune with its second annual Artists in Residence Series. Sponsored by President Jones ' Academic Enrich- ment Campaign, the series was highlighted with an appearance by Aaron Copland, the father of American music. The Department of Journalism was characterized with physical changes as new offices were com- pleted for Dean Ranta. Meanwhile, expansions occurred in both the faculty and journalism graduate program. Below left: Dr. Richard R.

As a pre-professional discipline, the Herff College of Engineering enabled students to convert technical knowledge and theory into workable solutions for the repair of the environment. The several degree programs provided by the college allowed specializa- tion in such areas as civil, pre-med, mechanical and geological engineering. Under the guidance of Dean O. Eugene Wheeler, the engineering college exemplified profes- sionalism in both undergraduate and graduate studies. A wide scope of career oppor- tunities was made available to stu- dents awarded an engineering degree. 92 Academics Herff College Of Engineering Converts Theory Into Workable Solutions Top: Electrical engineering student skillfully monitors computer.

Academics 93 College of Education Students Learn By Doing Seeking to help students learn the art of teaching skills to others, the College of Education continued to promote the high ideals of academia. Learning by doing was often the method used as students began to understand the complex- ities of sharing knowledge. Combining basic education courses with psychology, science and the arts, the College succeeded in providing students with the necessary information needs to communicate effectively with others. The high number of educa- tion majors showed the flooded job market had not swayed the perspective joy of teaching others. 94 Academics Opposite Page: Left: Learning to match pic- tures with vocabulary words is the task for students in Campus School.

Academics 95 Nurses Sharpen Medical Skills Beginning with 25 students in 1967, the enrollment of the Depart- ment of Nursing grew to a max- imum of 500 students. Through application of skills stu- dents gained insight in nutrition, administering medicine, checking vital signs and general care for patients. Laboratories used audio- visual aids to explain the everyday duties of nurses today. A new bachelor degree program was introduced to allow nurses to return to school and complete their degrees. Designed to phase out the associate degree, the new program provided the registered nurse with a chance to work more effectively as supervisors and employees of public health agencies and health care facilities. Lois Holloman retired after 10 years as chairman of the Depart- ment of Nursing. Right: Retiring department chairman Lois Holloman selects a tape for use in the nutri- tion library.

Academics 97 University College Offers Personalized Majors Geared to the mature mind with specific goals, University College continued to provide a direction for students seeking personalized ma- jors. Many students, whose ages ranged from 12 to 55, held full time jobs. One of the two degrees offered by the University College was a bachelor of liberal studies. The bachelor of professional studies provided a course of study for the student with a particular vocation in mind. Students defined special interest areas and signed an agreement with the University, stipulating terms on which they would complete their degrees. All we require is that a student have a specific set of goals, with an attitude of independence and a clear notion of direction, said Robert J. Hatala, dean of University College.

We offer approximately 250 courses each semester, said Elta Jordan, marketing coordinator for continuing education. This year we offered 70 new ones in the fall and 30 in the spring. Because most of the classes were held at night or on the weekends, the atmosphere was relaxed and casual. Many of the students enrolled were older adults, and some did not have college degrees. Continuing education provided a chance to be involved in an academic setting without the pressure of homework or deadlines. Of the new courses offered, disco fever was one of the most popular, with 100 people signing up in the first 20 minutes of registration. Regular courses such as imaginative low-calorie cooking, diaper gymnastics and jewelry making continued to be among the top preferred. Less than 10 per cent of our courses have to be cancelled, said Jordan. We have been experienc- ing a steady increase in enrollment each semester. Above left: Associate Professor James F.

Academics 111 Libraries Provide Best In Study Facilities Memphis State ' s John Willard Brister Libraries provided students with the best in research and study facilities. The libraries consisted not only of the main branch but also specialized collections in the departments of chemistry, music, mathematics, the Herff College of Engineering and the Speech and Hearing Center. Students who turned to the library in search of an atmosphere conducive to quiet study also had an opportunity to view the many ex- hibits displayed in the Mississippi Valley Collection, located in the old Brister Library. Many exhibits in- cluded irreplaceable and priceless treasures from the past. 112 Academics They consisted of such memorabilia as old newspapers, letters, photographs and other materials which reflected or con- cerned the customs, conditions and events of the lower Mississippi Valley and its early pioneers. Artifacts in the collection ran the gamut from a book published in 1514 to material about Elvis Presley. Opposite page: Students find the library a perfect place for quiet study and concentra- tion.

Jones came to Memphis State University six years ago, he saw an institution alive and moving with unfulfilled but identified goals. The spirit of this University was one of the reasons I accepted the job as president, said Dr. Jones. It caught my enthusiasm. Through the years, his enthusiasm did not falter as he at- tempted to lead faculty and ad- ministration into the fullest realiza- tion of their ambitions. Besides adding a new layer of ex- cellence to operating programs, Dr. Jones led the University in strengthening public service and continuing education programs for the benefit of the surrounding area. New policies such as the honor and research programs were in- stigated. The University College took its place among the older colleges. As the University grew, Dr. Jones continued to receive praise and recognition, though he did not take sole credit for its accomplishments. 114 Academics I think it is wrong to pin leadership onto one individual. It is a broad base of individuals actively engaged in trying to move the in- stitution forward, said the Presi- dent. The individual who receives the recognition didn ' t get there by him- self but with the collective wisdom of the people who are moving in the same direction. The framework and base to make this University great was here before I came. All I tried to do was give it a greater emphasis and visibility.

The name was Memphis State Uni- versity Athletics, but to the athletes in- volved it was more than a game. It was a vital part of their college life. The emotions connected with sports ranged from high hopes to dim realities with the athletes psychological state af- fected throughout. Athletics Anticipation To the fans, all that existed was a game, match or tournament and the obvious win or loss. For the athletes the story was much longer. For them sports was a life-style. Many long hours of practice were spent striving to produce the best possible performance that would bring the victory for which they had so relentlessly trained. Winning or losing was important; but of higher precedence was knowing their efforts were the best possible, despite the outcome. Athletics 11 Tigers Reign Supreme J r : [ S- ' b }- Terry Pressgrove slams a three run homer to the encouragement of his excited teammates to clench the Metro Conference Cham- pionship and receive an impressive trophy. 118 Athletics In Metro Madness Before the 1977-78 baseball season began, Tiger coach Bobby Kilpatrick said he was impressed with his troops and anxious to begin the upcoming year. I think we ' ll have a fine season, predicted the coach. For the Tigers, fine meant a Metro Conference title and a respectable showing in the NCAA Regional Tournament play-offs. The Tigers broke a Memphis State University record for the most wins in a season with 40 victories, and Kilpatrick became the 16th winningest coach in collegiate history with an overall record of 201-91. Leading the NCAA in hits and runs, the Tigers dominated arch rival Southeastern Conference opponents, capturing eight of 11 contests. The squad swept a three game series with Ole Miss, knocked off Auburn in four of six battles, and split a pair with tough Mis- sissippi State. Nationally ranked Missouri fell victim to the Tigers ' onslaught twice and fifth ranked South Alabama suffered two losses out of three times the teams met. Athletics 119 The dream of playing in the ma- jor leagues became a reality for two of the Tigers ' 1978 squad. Mike Hopkins was picked by the Pittsburg Pirates in the college draft as was Charlie Lea, who bypassed his senior year to play for the Mon- treal Expos. To the delight of Memphis fans, Lea began his professional career with the Memphis Chicks, an Expos AA farm club. Several players set individual records for their outstanding play. Leaders were Allen Robinson with 69 hits, Terry Pressgrove with 56 RBI ' s and Greg Roper with a batting average of .474. Right: Charlie Lea winds up for a crucial pitch.

Athletics 125 Gridiron Group Huddles and Hustles For the Memphis State Univer- sity Tigers, the football season seesawed from jubilant cheers resounding from the stadium to such crushing defeats as 0-58. It was a season in which fans had hoped they would roar with the Tigers . Unfortunately the Tigers ' roar was not as fierce as the team anticipated the hours of drills and scrimmages would make it. The first possession of the ball in the season opener resulted in a touchdown for the Tigers, when Judson Flint returned a punt 68 yards. Kicker Rusty Bennett added his extra point against arch rival Ole Miss making the score 7-0. By the end of the first half, the Rebels scored twice. Still the Tigers were hopeful as Coach Richard Williamson noted, We had our backs to the wall, but we fought back. 126 Athletics Opposite page: Above: Quarterback Lloyd Patterson hands off to Richard Juicy Locke while offensive linemen block.

Athletics 127 The Tigers ' fight included a very controversial play. With 3:45 left in the fourth quarter, an official called a fumble as quarterback Lloyd Patterson crossed the goal line. The call left MSU fans con- testing that Patterson was over the line before fumbling, while Rebel fans were ecstatic over the call. The final score remained Tigers 7, Rebels 14. Handing the University of Houston Cougars an impressive 17-3 defeat, the Tigers proved the old cliche, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Patterson had an outstanding game breaking three MSU records and drawing himself closer to the 4,000 total offense mark. He broke the MSU record for career pass attempts and career touchdown passes and, together with wide receiver Ernest Gray, for the longest pass play. The Tigers came back after two staggering defeats to Mississippi State 14-44 and Texas A M 0-58 to beat the Wichita State Shockers 26- 13.

At the fourth annual Metro- politan Collegiate Athletic Con- ference sports day Yates told listeners, I ' ll tell you what we have and what we lost, and you decide what we will have and how we will play. After the team ' s 82-71 win over Missouri Western at the Mid-South Coliseum, many people felt his cau- tion was justified. Although several key players were injured in the pre-season, the Tigers managed to play 11 men. Yates defended the team, ex- plaining that inexperience hurt the Tiger cause. We ' ve got a ways to go, that ' s for sure, he said. But we will im- prove. Right: Baylor transfer Tony Rufus scores an initial basket while Kevin Fromm and Tommy Lowery add their support.

Part of the excitement came from the Tigers ' three consecutive over- time games, the first of the trio be- ing against Florida State who defeated MSU after tying the game in regulation at the buzzer. Two days later the Cagers traveled to New Orleans and won in overtime 87-81. James Bradley scored 18 points followed by Otis Jackson and Hank McDowell with 17. Once again the thrill of victory was shortlived as the Tigers came home two days later to lose a squeaker to Cincinnati 61-63 when Kevin Fromm ' s 22 foot jumper rimmed out with seconds to play.

The saga continued. Upon losing players because of academic in- eligibility and disinterest in school and MSU basketball, the roundballers turned to their younger players for aid. The underclassmen responded with freshman Otis Jackson taking over former MSU standout Alvin Wright ' s number and position, es- tablishing himself as a top scorer in the Metro leading the conference in steals and assists. Jackson was also named Metro Conference Player of the Week. Sophomore Hank McDowell 136 Athletics It is important to be relaxed but yet somewhat anxious to play . . . be confident and determined to lay it on the line. Hopefully the result will be a victory for the team. Kevin Fromm joined the starting lineup late in the season. McDowell ' s high game was against St. Louis in which he scored 24 points taking the Tigers to a 77-65 victory over the Billikens in St. Louis — a place where MSU had never before won. Another sophomore Kevin Fromm, proved to be the strongest reserve man averaging 15 points off the bench and leading the Metro conference free throws, hitting 86 per cent. He demonstrated his ability to withstand pressure sink- ing a basket at 22 feet with three seconds remaining, pushing MSU and Tulane into overtime for the second time. The Tigers won the Tulane game 89-82 with outstanding efforts from all team members including Jeff Battle, Michael Torrance and Arthur Banks. Senior John Kilzer came off the bench against the Green Wave to play an astounding game, ac- cumulating 14 points. Remaining seniors James Bradley and Rodney Lee provided leadership and experience. Bradley got off to a slow start with a 12.6 average, then missed seven games with a broken hand. He returned to his old form that earned him All-Metro Conference honors last year and tied him for pre-season player this year against Arkansas playing with a splint on his shooting hand. He steadily im- proved each game. Left: Surrounded by St. Louis players, Kevin Fromm goes for the basket.

Lee played consistent ball all season scoring in double figures against major opponents including an 18 point game against Cincinnati with 10 offensive rebounds. Coach Wayne Yates received criticism from fans and the media resulting in his sporting of a sheriff ' s badge which read I ' m a good guy. He adopted a new philosophy late in the season: Everyone on the team works hard and deserves to play. How well they play determines how long they play. He announced to the surprise of everyone he would spend two nights a week in the dorm to gain better rapport with his players. Some said it was a grandstand play; others, true concern for his team. Whether or not it was a winning or losing season, it was not a forgot- ten one. Right: Sophomore starting center Hank McDowell executes a slam dunk for two points.

The JV Cagers had a successful season defeating Holiday Inns, a team characterized by such former basketball stars as Memphis State ' s Bill Cook and the Memphis Pros ' Ron Lanz.

Athletics 139 Already pegged as a season of contention and excitement, the con- troversies culminated as the Tigers neared the end of the season when Wayne Yates announced his resignation effective at the close of the Metro Tournament. The fans may have fired me, Yates said, but I assure you the ad- ministration didn ' t. The people in Memphis want a Final Four team every year. I don ' t think that ' s realistic. In the midst of all the uproar came the Tigers ' most exciting game when they whipped nation- ally ranked Louisville 60-53. Every Tiger was a hero, but in the final minutes it was freshman Otis Jackson and senior Rodney Lee whose talents proved most valuable. Lee took a pass from senior James Bradley and pumped in a layup to give MSU a 54-53 lead. With 52 seconds left Jackson swished a jumper from approx- imately 10 feet. Louisville fouled Jackson and he sunk both free throws. Right: Hank McDowell takes an intimidating stance against a Metro opponent.

Tigers Wrap Up Cagey 140 Athletics Season With Metro Mania To climax the victory, Lee stole a pass near mid-court and drove for a sensational slam dunk with three seconds left to spark a victory celebration that lingered for days in Tiger memories. The celebration was shortlived however for the Tigers lost their last two games to Metro opponents Florida State and Georgia Tech. Moving to the Metro Tourna- ment, the Tigers lost Bradley to ton- silitis before their first round of competition. Yet, the Cagers rallied together to hand St. Louis a 62-58 defeat in their first tournament game.

MSU added five new opponents to their schedule: Georgia, Oral Roberts, Ft. Hayes, and Big 10 power Illinois. In addition to three home meets, the team and its new coach Riki Sutton hosted the Tennessee State meet, and competed in two meets with the men ' s Tiger team. According to Coach Sutton the gymnasts sharpened their skills in floor exercise, balance beam, un- even parallel bars and vaulting, to work all around instead of specializing in one event.

The Tigers swung into action placing second in the 1978 Metro Conference Golf Championship tallying only one stroke behind host Florida State. Senior Tony Mitchell won the individual championship in a sudden death play-off with a final score of 218. Ed Parnell, Putter Robbins, Jeff Smith and Lee Cheairs captured four of the top 10 individual positions in the tourna- ment. Smith shot the lowest score in the Waterloo Pro-Am while preparing for the fall season. He was the first amateur in 40 years to outplay the professional in the tournament. Memphis State began the fall season with a 19-stroke win in the Murray State Invitational. Captain Cheairs led his team by winning the individual championship with an eight under par 208 to tie the course record.

The brothers of Sigma Chi had spent months planning and organizing an activity which in earlier years was a major event among the pledges of Memphis State University ' s sororities. As the years passed Greek ac- tivities increased, priorities changed and many events lost their participants. In 1977 Derby Day was dropped from the Greek activities calendar. After one year of dormancy, Sigma Chi reorganized the event to include sorority actives as well as pledges, and a new Derby Day was successfully reintroduced into the world of MSU ' s Greeks. Sorority women, assisted by coaches from Sigma Chi, rivaled in such field events as Sig-Roll , Eat-a-String and spirit competi- tions. m Mi V This page: Top: Delta Zeta ' s Lisa Rollins hurls a frisbee for points.

The ballroom was the location of many formals and parties, until last spring when the property was sold by its owners. The demolition of the grand structure marked the end of a long tradition among MSU ' s Greeks and signaled the advent of a new age of progress.

The release of the movie Animal House spurred a rebirth of college fads from the 1960 ' s, especially for the Greeks at Memphis State Uni- versity. In the movie, the Deltas of Faber College held a riotous Toga Party which everyone attended clad in sheets. Here at MSU, fraternities revived the Toga Party for even- ings of fun, ' 60 ' s style. Amidst the cries of Toga! Toga!, Greeks streamed into various fraternity houses attired in sheets ranging from white to animal prints. As peo- ple wandered through houses greeting old friends and making new ones, music resounded from open windows, often the music from the Animal House soundtrack. 188 Greeks Delta Gamma Retires Phi Psi 500 Trophy The large, impressive trophy given to the winning sorority of the Phi Kappa Psi 500 Tricycle Race was retired by Delta Gamma, who won the event for the third con- secutive year.

She opened and closed the building, arranged ballroom use and late hour parties and held down the home fort for the women who called the Pan building their second home. Mom Driggers ' ability as housemother was well-founded with her experience as a fraternity housemother and the raising of her own four children. Her chief desire was to see the Greeks as a whole growing and becoming more powerful on campus, and to unite the sororities into a common group. 190 Greeks Parks Advises Greeks Working from an office in the Student Organization Meeting Area (SOMA) on the fourth floor of the University Center, Dennis Skip Parks coordinated slide presenta- tions for freshmen orientation and advised the Inter-fraternity Coun- cil.

In an effort to obtain more un- ity in the Greek system, Barb Jones aided in the revision of policies concerning rush and Panhellenic.

By mid-October, the Helmsstaff had completed a study of Helmsman campus distribution. The results: over 80 per cent of the Friday issues and over 90 per cent of the Tuesday issues were regularly read by the campus community.

The 1979 Desoto was assembled by an all-girl editorial staff known as the Desotoettes.

One of the most valuable lessons they learned was the yearbook was not something a student paid for in September and picked up in April.

Organizations 295 296 Daily Events Seem to Prolong Graduation While people at Memphis State Uni versity focused their anticipation toward achieving a degree or preparing for a career, numerous intermediate events made graduation seem far away. Anticipation was an epidemic that People Anticipation spread during the suspenseful days leading up to the beginning of classes. The days became filled with entrance applications, adviser appointments, and tedious schedule planning. When the school year began, the stu- dent awaited mid-terms, and after that finals. The individual faced projects and reports in the never-ending paper chase. College soon became a means to an end. Outside the academic world, the stu- dent met friends, joined organizations and experienced new emotions and ideas. When the student came to MSCI, he knew his long range expectations. It was the daily and weekly anticipations that carried him to the realization of his goals.

As the photographer attempts to recreate an image through a camera lens, he must await the ultimate formation of the total pic- ture. The hopeful student is not unlike the photographer, uncertain of what outcomes will evolve as he enters the realm of college life. Through participation and involvement in activities, the student gradually develops the pieces of his University experiences into the total picture of realistic goals. 346 Closing Opposite page: Top: Dr. Neil Miller points out the structure of a leaf to his students.

N i 352 Specifications It is my hope that this yearbook will serve as a collection of words and pictures of the events most of us anticipated this year at Memphis State University. However, this book is incomplete for it is impossible to capture every feeling and activ ity experi- enced by each student. The in- dividual must build upon our collection with his own remem- brances to create the completed personal record. My contribution to that record is finished. I certainly can ' t say I ' m not relieved. The title of editor brought with it much pain and mental anguish. But now I only remember the fun and personal growth I experienced in working with many talented and caring people. This is my page to pay tribute to them for their help in the production of this yearbook. I have first to thank my staff — Laurie, Mary, Donna, Mary, Myra, Melanie, Melissa and Lisa. You did a great job and I love you all. Mr. B., looks iike I ' m finally graduating. You can be sure I ' ve stored away Daddy ' s advice and encouragement for future reference. Thanks for being the kind of friend and adviser you are. Thanks also to Mrs. Lee for stepping in and helping us through the last deadline. The staff and I extend special appreciation to Gil, Tom, Art, Terry and especially Phyllis in Photo Services for their help and patience in supplying our picture needs. Mama and Daddy, thanks for understanding when 1 couldn ' t come home. Just knowing you were there for me was a great booster. Marilyn, a face from home was always welcome at noon. Michael P., what can I say? You were the one who got the brunt of my frustrations when the pressure got to me. Somehow you always calmed me down and showed me things would work out. One good smile does deserve another. Thanks to all our staffers and to all who supplied us with infor- mation. If given the chance, I would probably never be editor again; but to be editor once is worth it. r A Features Mike Porter Angela Register Mike Ruggiero Athletics Robert Boatner Chris Curtis Sharon Hayslip Scott McClure David McCrarey Academics Laura Derrington Janice Holland Riley Knight Kim Krone Laura Leigh Watson Organizations Liz Eckles Gale Hines Dean Spiros Greeks Bill Daniels Elizabeth Garrott Lisa Moser Allison Pace Melle White People Katie Belton Michael Lebovitz Linda Levitt John McTyre Janet Ragan 2 1 979 DESOTO Editor-in-chief Sandra J.
