Back in November of 1955 a Memphis State student could pick up the paper and read, Memphis State College approved a plan yesterday in which night classes, covering all depart- ments and subjects, will be offered at the beginning of next year ' s fall term. The classes will offer full credit toward degrees. And we have kept on growing since then to spread out all over the Memphis area. Memphis State students are not limited to the many campus activities, but may choose from a variety across the city. Memphis State University helps the city and the city helps MSU. Signs of support are evident around town. Even out-of-towners know about Memphis State and are warmly received by those at the University. 4 Opening Above: The new clock adorns the area as the stu- dents study or chat in the serene surroundings.

It ' s all right here Memphis State has grown up quite a bit since the days it was called West Ten- nessee Teachers College. Along with the university, the city of Memphis has grown up too. The campus has expanded and the city has grown in size reaching out across Shelby County. However, the love for Memphis State among the com- munity has remained strong.

WHO WE ARE Page Affairs 10 Honors 72 Colleges 88 10 Affairs Introducing MSU ' s New President Dr. Thomas Carpenter Dr. Thomas Glenn Carpenter suc- ceeded Dr. Billy Mac Jones as presi- dent of Memphis State University. Dr. Carpenter, a MSU alumnus, came to Memphis from the University of North Florida at Jacksonville. He was named new president by the Board of Regents of the State Univer- sity and Community College System on May 22, 1980, and he assumed the position on August 1, 1980. Dr. Carpenter, age 54, is a native of Atlanta, Georgia, and he received his early education in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He received a bachelor of science degree from Memphis State in 1949, a master ' s degree in economics from Baylor Un- iversity in 1950, and his doctorate from the University of Florida in 1963. Dr. Carpenter has had 23 years of professional administrative ex- perience, serving four different schools of higher education. He served at the University of Florida as an in- structor of economics, and was later the assistant director of housing there. He then served 2 years as the director of auxiliary services at Florida Atlantic University. In 1965 Dr. Carpenter went to the University of West Florida to serve as business manager and later as the dean of administration, vice president of administrative services, and acting vice president for academic affairs. In 1969 Dr. Carpenter was ap- pointed president of the University of North Florida, and retained that posi- tion until assuming the presidency of Memphis State.

Right: Anticipation builds as students wait to get their classes. 14 Affairs Fall 1980 registration was moved from the sweltering heat of the fieldhouse to the air-conditioned comfort of the Uni- versity Center. Registration was extended one day, alleviating the usual congestion of people and giving students an ad- ditional day of summer vacation. Despite the same old headaches of registration, student response to the new registration location was very favorable, as was the response to new student orien- tation, which proved to be a very helpful tool to freshmen, transfer students, and their parents. The day-long program, which included several different sessions, helped the new students familiarize themselves with Memphis State and made the transition to college life much easier.

Features 15 BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE THERE ' S NO PLACE LIKE DORM One special thing about going to college for most students was the chance to get out on your own and live away from your parents. This meant moving into the dorm, your home sweet home away from home. Living in the dorm was fun and it was a headache. Sure, it is the chance to get out on your own, but it was also not home. Students filled their rooms with articles from their homes such as stereos, television sets, refrigerators, pictures, books and other articles which give the student the feeling of home life. Still, there were other duties to perform that had been performed before by your Above: The desks in Richardson Towers are softer than the mattresses.

The men and women who worked in the security office kept the MSU campus safe during the year. It seemed no matter where you turned, security personnel were always in the area. They were on the job 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Security performed a variety of func- tions aside from their well known park- ing ticketing. They were always around when you locked your keys in your car or needed to get in a locked building. No matter what you needed, security was there to assist you. Security had the thankless job of keep- ing our campus safe, and for their efforts we say — Thanks. Above right: Behind the scenes in the security of- fice.

Well-rounded programming such as news, music, sports, and public service information kept the listener both entertained and in- formed. WSMS gave coverage of Lady Tiger basketball games and MSU baseball games. Playing everything from soul to rock commercial free, the station offered the listener a variety of programming. Accomplishments included two awards; the first for promotion of Memphis Music, the second for the best public af- fairs show known as Take Fifteen. Top: Disc Jockey Jimmy Kirkland hits the air.

This past year, the band took great pride in the colorful new uniforms which were of a contemporary, military style. They were lightweight and cooler than the old uniforms. The band was also honored by being chosen one of the top 15 collegiate bands in the United States. They were invited to participate in the 1981 Marching Bands of America Intercollegiate Championship in London, England. The band was se- lected for this competition on the basis of its history of excellence, professionalism, style, and enthusiasm. Beautiful Nashville native Rayna Bowers was honored by being selected MSU ' s Golden Girl. The 21-year-old dance and theatre major had been a feature twirler with the marching band for 3 years.

Band 35 I LIKE THE NIGHT LIFE, BABY 36 Affairs The new wave group, The Cars ' could not have put it any better, I like the night life baby. Memphis State stu- dents did nothing to disprove this state- ment as they continued to take advantage of Memphis night spots. Students flocked to local hot spots such as London Transport, the Varsity Inn, and Bullies for refreshment. They also hurried down to the ever popular Overton Square. Students enjoyed play- ing video games, pool, backgammon, listening to music or just sitting back and having a drink with a friend. Memphis night spots have something for everybody. Night Life 37 The Royal Lichtenstcin Circus What ' s free to everyone, entertaining and makes you say, ahhh ? The Royal Lichtenstein Vi-Ring Circus, that ' s what. Each year this circus performs in some 40 states, in which Memphis State has been included. The students, welcoming a break from their studies, come and sit outside as the world ' s smallest circus per- forms. There was obviously no need for a big top here. Nick Weber, a Jesuit priest, who was ringmaster, and two fellow performers, along with a variety of animal friends, juggled, ate fire, and even hung by their toes.

Today they are a thing of the past, the long skirts and thin ties are again the style of the times. 1980 saw the resurgence of the long skirt and it saw Western wear come off the range and into the city. Almost overnight, cowboy boots, hats, and other kinds of Western wear seemed to replace the traditional garb. Top: Top siders were a must for any preperly at- tired person.

However, other fashions had a banner year. New lines of Preppy fashions appeared and the Izod appeared in places it had never ventured before. It could be that the Izod and the cowboy hat are destined to square off in a battle for the fashion buyers dollar. Only time will tell.

Fads Fashions 41 Seventeen magazine and Lowensteins co-sponsored a Prep Fashion Rally at Memphis State on September 24. The show, which was held in the Uni- versity Center Ballroom, displayed the latest styles in fall fashions for 1980. Many designer sweaters, suits, sportcoats, slacks, dresses and skirts were featured, showing the campus how the well dressed college student should look. Anglica Turner, merchandise coor- dinator of Seventeen magazine, served as narrator for the show. Several MSU stu- dents served as models displaying the new fashions.

During the week many events were held for both students and alumni. On Tuesday afternoon the University Center was the sight of a fashion show and the announcement of the Homecoming Court. Wednesday evening a sellout crowd rock ' n rolled to the tunes of the Doobie Brothers at the Mid-South Coliseum. Thursday the action shifted back to campus where the Showboat Talent Show and the exciting drama, Tales of Twain were held in the University Center Ballroom. On Friday afternoon hundreds of students attended the pep rally for Saturday ' s Homecoming game with Vanderbilt. Saturday morning there was a reunion brunch and pep rally for alumni at the Mid-South Coliseum. Saturday after- noon, the Tigers took on Vanderbilt at the Liberty Bowl in the Homecoming game. Halftime saw the presentation of the Homecoming Court and a special Homecoming performance by the band which drew high praise from the crowd. Unfortunately, Memphis State lost the football game to Vanderbilt 14-10, which was about the only bad thing that hap- pened during Homecoming 1980. 46 Affairs oming Top: Support for the Tigers adorned the campus.

Homecoming 47 Crisis At Home On November 16, 1979, an event which Americans will long remember oc- curred. On that day, Iranian militants stormed the United States embassy in Tehran, Iran, and took the entire U.S. delegation HOSTAGE. On January 20, 1981, the 53 American hostages were released by the Iranian government and safely returned home to the U.S. Their return set off the biggest celebration the U.S. had seen since the return home of the troops from World War II. All across the nation Americans shed tears of joy for the families of the hostages, just as they had done in anger and sorrow dur- ing the months past. Other Americans were touched by this crisis, but Memphis State University and the Memphis com- munity were especially privileged by the presence of a hostage family right here in Memphis. Dr. Ernest Cooke and hi s wife, Susan, were the parents of former hostage Donald Cooke, an aide at the ill- fated embassy. Dr. Cooke, a professor in the marketing department at MSU, and his wife suffered through the 400-plus days of the crisis, never once losing hope that their son would be returned home safely to them. Dr. and Mrs. Cooke met the challenge with a great amount of courage, something that many people probably would not have been able to do in such a trying situation. During the months leading up to the hostages ' release, the Cookes traveled to Washington, D.C., many times hoping that they would be told that Donald was on his way home, but time and time again, their hopes were dashed. However, they never gave up hope, and in the end they were rewarded for their patience and courage with Donald ' s return. Upon Donald ' s return to the U.S., he came to Memphis for the first time and the city rolled out a red carpet welcome for their new favorite son. Donald was honored at a city council meeting, then he came to the MSU campus, where he addressed an overflow crowd at the University Center Ballroom. In his honor, MSU announced that it was establishing a scholarship in his honor. The crisis over, the Cooke ' s returned to their normal life style, Donald Cooke Above: Ernest F. Cooke, a Marketing professor at MSU, continued to teach his classes. announced his intentions to return to our country ' s foreign service, and the rest of America settled back into the ho hum that America was used to. However, this event which touched each and every life of every American will not be forgotten. And Americans certainly will not forget the value of FREEDOM and just what it means to us and to our lives. 48 Affairs 1980 Summer Heat Wave Breaks Many Records The National Weather Service as of September 2, 1980 acclaimed June, July and August 1980 the hottest summer ever recorded. Fourteen million dollars in Federal funds were granted by President Carter in order to repay the Southern county and local governments for the heat wave relief for their residents. Tennessee received $1.6 million of these funds. Here in Memphis, death as a result of the swelter- ing temperatures took 43 lives within a two-week period during the month of August. The elderly suffered the most as many languished and died in their own homes, afraid if they left their homes might be burglarized or perhaps they might face the risk of being attacked. So they remained indoors with windows and ventilation blocked. Fans were dis- tributed and shelters were set up across the city in hopes of rescuing many of them from a hot death. The heat wave caused other damage also. Concrete on roads buckled and cracked, causing potential driving hazards. Outside activities were kept to a minimum. Those that did venture out- doors were advised to take salt tablets and drink plenty of water to avoid the risk of dehydration. Animals had their share of the suffer- ing also. Chickens died in large numbers, unable to survive the blasting tem- peratures. Dogs and our other furry friends had a bad time with temperatures being 100 degrees plus and wearing a fur coat. Night time brought no relief from the sizzling. Highest lows were recorded and records were made just to be broken again the next day. Memphis Summer 1980 Statistics: June, July and August in Memphis were the hottest ever recorded. The average temperature for these three months was 85.6 degrees which broke the record set back in 1954 of 84.2 degrees. In August, the maximum tem- perature was above 90 degrees every day and was 100 degrees or above on seven of those days. August had an average daily high of 97.2 degrees, and the average daily low was 77.2 degrees. Since August 1976, August 1980 was the driest, with only 1.23 inches of precipitation which was 2.10 inches below the normal level. September 9, 1980 saw the highest temperature ever recorded so late in the year, passing the record set in 1925 of 99 degrees. The low of 83 degrees broke the highest low record of 81 degrees in 1932. Heat Wave 49 Election Page 1 Vol. LXIX No. 48 THE DESOTO Memphis State University Politics. Elections. Presidential Elections. There was no need to wait until the next morning when everybody knew the night before we had a new president of the United States, Ronald Reagan. Jimmy Carter (Democrat), Ronald Reagan (Republican) and John Anderson (Independent) ran a long and hard race, grasping for our precious votes along the way. Carter carried his home state, Georgia, and West Virginia and Rhode Island while Minnesota, Illinois, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alaska, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Maine went un- decided as Reagan took the rest of the na- tion. Memphis State students were no dif- ferent from the rest of the country when it came to being concerned about how their vote would be cast. Top: Rex Clark took Reagan ' s side. Right: Dan Rich supported Anderson. 50 Affairs YEARLY 1980 Tuesday Nov. 4, 1980 Memphis, Tennessee ■ Support for the candidate of their choice was shown in various ways. For example, bumper stickers and political buttons were worn on shirts campus wide. Election chatter could be heard among students before, during, and after class. When a campus debate was held, more than 100 students turned out to speak up or listen to the views of other students who had something to say about the 1980 elections. Chris Hagin campaigned for Carter, Rex Clark argued for Reagan, and Dan Rich represented John Anderson. The real test was on November 4, 1980, when Ronald Reagan won the 1980 presidential election.

MSU Women 55 STREET FAIR ' 80 Friday, October 10, was a beautiful, cloudless day, the perfect setting for the Second Annual Residence Life Street Fair. The clear skies and warm tem- peratures brought hundreds of students out to browse and play games at the various booths set up by several dorms. Many local vendors participated in the fair. They set up booths, sold merchan- dise, and gave away coupons, posters, T- shirts, and other advertising material. Once again the street fair was a big success.

MSU was no different from any other school in this respect. To keep pace with the growing needs of the university, the construction of new buildings and a general facelift of campus facilities became necessary. Modernizing the campus was both costly and bothersome. Old landmarks were destroyed and new construction replace d the obsolete. The process dis- rupted the flow of traffic around campus. Roads and walkways were closed, some permanently, some temporarily. The campus was suddenly and noticeably altered, but the changes were soon ac- cepted by the students and staff.

Construction 59 Student Services Memphis State gave students a wide variety of modern facilities and services to choose from. The MSU library offered the student the most complete source on campus from which to draw information. The University Center, which always seemed to be the hub of activity, gave students a place to eat, buy supplies, meet with other students, or just goof off if they wanted to. Posters, signs, and leaflets informing students of campus activities constantly found their way into all three buildings. Below: Students relax on the mall in front of the MSU library.

As a part of Welcome Week, deans and directors from Student Educational Services served watermelon to approximately 300 people who atten- ded.

The University Center Programs Council helped make the best of a warm Memphis night by showing an outdoor movie for the students. The students were entertained, and the flick helped take their minds off the high tem- peratures of the 1980 summer. There was no need for theater chairs— only the cool ground for most. Some opted for lawn chairs. What a great way to go to a movie without even leav- ing campus! Left: Show Time! Below: Students and friends sit back and get comfortable before the show begins.

The A luminum Recycling Center located on Southern Avenue adjacent to the Physical Education Complex began its operation. The center, which collects any and all aluminum cans, started slowly at first and it was not expected to turn a profit until late 1981, but by January operation was in full swing and the center was doing quite well. It was hoped that eventually the center will turn a profit of between ! $200,000 and $300,000, with all the I revenue going to supplement the athletic I department budget.

Affairs 65 MSU Salutes Memphis Music Memphis has long been associated with great music and musicians. The city has produced some of the best works the world has ever heard. The Bluff City was considered the birthplace of the Blues, the mellow sound that made Beale Street famous worldwide. However, other music forms, such as rock-n-roll, have helped make Memphis known as the Cradle of rock- n-roll. A banquet, hosted by MSU, was held to salute Memphis music. It was attended by some of the great names in music. Although some of their peers are no longer with us, their memory lives on, and the love affair between the city and music continued.

The ten returning members included; Robert Capocaccia, Forrest Fix, Kathy Hartley, Warren Hodges, Lynn Ostrowski, Joe Pharr, Richard Phillips, Allen Raulston, Terri Thompson, and Cathy Thron. These ten students were a part of the squad that captured third place in the National Collegiate Cheerleading Competition held last spring. The precision flag and drill team, the Bengal Lancers, continued their tradition of excellence. They performed as a part of the Memphis State marching band, the Mighty Sound of the South , at all home football games. The squad added a touch of beauty and zesty flair to the half-time shows with their precision drills and routines. The girls also aided the band in raising money for their scheduled trip to London, England; next fall, where they will compete in the Inter- collegiate band competition. Cheerleaders 69 Cheerful Smiles Replace Frustration Graduation Day had finally come for 1100 Memphis State seniors. The long hours of studying, the late nights, the frowns, and the tears of frustration were suddenly forgotten. They were replaced by cheerful smiles, tears of joy, and the realization they had completed yet another part of life ' s journey. The Governor of Tennessee, Lamar Alexander, addressed the graduates and their assembled friends and relatives. He challenged the departing seniors to go out and make their mark on the world.

This year was no different ex- cept several more students were added to the list which raised the total number of those chosen to 40 students. Along with the associate dean of stu- dents, Clarence O. Hampton, a commit- tee of students and faculty pool together their time and efforts in a series of meetings to make their selections. This is far from an easy task to complete. Today and over the years, Who ' s Who members were selected on the following credentials: Service to the Community Academic Achievement Leadership in Extracurricular Activities Leadership Potential One Who is Recognized by His Peers and Administrators for His Outstanding Ser- It Allows Students to Avoid the Financial Burden of Expensive Honoraries Reform Academic and Administrative Policies Produce Campus Publications Service to the University And Student ' s Promise to Future Usefulness to t he Nation.

Honor ' an-er n: one whose worth brings respect or fame; (was an honor to his profession). This is just one of the many definitions Webster ' s uses to describe honor. It also describes the essence of what goes into being an outstanding teacher at Memphis State. The prerequisites for this distinction are: the receiver must be a full-time em- ployee at MSU for a minimum of five years with no less than nine hours taught each semester. Also, the recipient must not have received this award in the past five years. Upon acceptance of his candidacy, the teachers choose two of their classes to be surveyed. And when all the credits are totaled, the outstanding teachers of Memphis State are named for the year. Above: Dr. Robert Marchini, Associate Professor • '  .?: • ft-- . H ■ , - Right: Dr. Graves E.

Honors 87 College of Communications And Fine Arts Gets New Facilities The College of Communication and Fine Arts received a new home this spring as the brand new Communications and Fine Arts Complex opened its doors for the first time. The youngest and fastest growing college on campus continued to bring a showcase of talent to the univer- sity. It also brought some outstanding guest lecturers all of whom gave the stu- dents involved a more rounded educa- tion. Once again the music department sponsored its Salute to Memphis Music ' which was an overwhelming success. The department of journalism brought additional recognition to the college as students got high marks and awards for their writing both on the national and regional levels. WSMS radio brought national attention to the school for their award-winning documentary and public affairs show, Take Fifteen. Most importantly, the new Fine Arts complex opened giving the college room to expand its programs and services to the students, faculty, and the Memphis com- munity. The spacious art galleries, exhibit areas, music rooms, dance studios, and television production facilities gave stu- dents an ultra-modern and creative outlet which had been badly needed.

Honors 89 College of Engineering The name of the game in the Herff College of Engineering continued to be research. And research it was as the stu- dents and faculty sought a way to better our energy sources and to harness that energy and put it to the use of humans. They continued to look, into the areas of biochemical and laser energy, but the big concentration was however the study of solar energy, that until recently untapped source from the sun. The college also rededicated itself to turning out first class construction engineers to go out and make the nation ' s highways and roads the best and safest in the world.

Honors 91 School of Law The Memphis State University School of Law continued to play an important part in the role of MSU in the county and the Memphis community. During 1981, the school had its largest enroll- ment in history and also had a record number of graduates during the year. The faculty and the School of Law con- tinued to provide the students with the finest of law curriculums in the South. The Memphis State Law School also gave students an expanded outlook in the study of law with new and innovative types of programs for law study. The school also provided Memphis area lawyers with professional help, for assistance in their work. This gave Mem- phis State law students an opportunity to begin to get a feel for the profession they will eventually enter. The Memphis State Law School provided students with opportunities in both law study and job and career opportunities. Through these valuable services it offered, the Memphis State Law School did its part to insure that Memphis and the Mid-South will have well trained professionals to count on for legal counsel in the future.

Opposite page: A view of a student at work in the Law library. 92 H onors Law School 93 College of Arts and Sciences 94 Honors On the Move 1980 was a busy year for the college of Arts and Sciences. After a thorough study of the curriculum and a change in the course study in 1980, the school reviewed those changes and whether or not they had been effective. They also sought just how the expanded curriculum would affect students. As a result of the study, there may be several changes in the course study for future enrollees in the college. After a banner year in 1980 during which the school brought in noted scholars from around the country to discuss topics such as Einstein, the college came through in 1981 with some outstanding programs and guest lec- turers. In addition to the lecturers and programs, the psychology department came up with one of the more popular projects in recent memory with their doo- dle board. On that board one was to draw what they felt in a color which best exem- plified the mood they were in. Overall the college of Arts and Sciences was looking forward to playing a major role in the future of MSU. Opposite page: The magic and awe of chemistry.

' ' Honors 95 University College The University College continued to offer Memphis State students non-tradi- tional degree to students whose interests were best served by programs which emphasized personally designed educa- tion. The University College gave faculty, and off-campus professionals the oppor- tunity to work together toward common interests, unrestricted by departmental or college boundaries. This opportunity to study outside the traditional major, gave students chances to gain credit by ex- amination, credit for non-traditional learning, and through internship experi- ences. Through these unorthodox means, the University College will continue to be a means of meeting the academic needs of the diverse population of Memphis and Shelby County and Memphis State students.

These studies gave the students a chance to operate and learn on their own and at their own individual rates. With independent study becoming a more integral part of the com- plete educational experience, Memphis State decided to expand its opportunities in the field in 1981-82. This expansion of opportunities in independent study, will allow Memphis State University to re- main among the leaders in Independent learning in the nation.

The College of Education among its other assets, runs a preschool for children 3-6 years of age and the University Campus School located on Zach Curlin Avenue, which houses grades 1 through 6. The degrees offered from its programs in the college are Bachelor of Science in Education, Bachelor of Music Education, and Bachelor of Science in Home Economics. It also provided the Univer- sity and the state, as well as the regional schools, with service and research programs. It provided its students with not only knowledge, but the confidence to teach in the teaching profession. Through pr oviding the city and county schools with new teachers, the Memphis State school of Education also provided the city of Memphis and the Metropolitan area with a special assistance in public education.

In the fall, Memphis businessman Avron Fogelman and his family gave a two million dollar gift to Memphis State specifically for the college of Business Administration. In honor of the gift by the Fogelman ' s, Memphis State renamed the college, the Fogelman College of Business and Economics. The school also had an outstanding year as the teachers in the economics department at MSU made some big contributions to the thinking of economists here in Memphis and across the nation as well. Graduates of the school also found that their training was tops in the nation as 1980 graduates of the college of Business Administration found more jobs than any other class in MSU history.

The Tigers met the Bulldogs before a sweltering crowd of 45,789 at the Liberty Bowl. Everyone expected a close game and they got one for the better part of three quarters. The Bulldogs led 12-7, with eight minutes left in the third period, but from that point on the Tigers slowed down. The offense was stopped cold by State and the hard-fighting Tiger defense finally wore out, as the Bulldogs rolled to a 34-7 win. The lopsided loss overshadowed the outstanding play of MSU ' s Todd Ondra, who was in on seventeen tackles and recovered two Mis- sissippi State fumbles. The Tigers ' only score came in the third quarter on a 37 yard pass from Darrell Martin to Jerry Knowlton.

The tone for the game was set early in the first quarter when, on a fourth down at the Tiger 41, Rebel Kinny Hooper took the snap on a fake punt and raced all the way to the MSU 5-yard line. Two plays later the Rebels scored and were on their way to a 40-0 half-time lead. The Tigers finally got on the scoreboard late in the third stanza on an 88-yard run by tailback Tony Wiley. The fact that it was one of the longest scoring plays in MSU history was little solace to the Tigers, who saw their record dip to 0- 2.

Winless Georgia Tech took advantage of several Tiger mistakes early in the con- test to take a 14-0 half-time lead. Tech stretched it ' s advantage to 17-0 in the third period, and appeared to be coasting to victory when lightning struck for the Tigers. Substitute tailback Richard Williams took a pitch and ram- bled 76 yards to score. Darrell Martin hit Russell Richards with a two point con- version pass, and suddenly the Tigers were right back in the game. However, from that point on, despite several op- portunities, the Tigers could not score.

Trailing the inspired visitors 3-0 going into the fourth quarter the Tigers Michael Thomas intercepted a deflected pass and raced 47 yards to score. Over the next fourteen minutes, the Tigers defense feasted on ASU ' s mis- takes, recovering two fumbles and inter- cepting another pass, to seal the victory. Richard Williams, who scored two touchdowns, led the Tiger offense with 83 yards on 23 carries. Rusty Bennett ' s 35 yard field goal closed out MSU ' s scoring.

The Louisville Cardinals won their second game of the year defeating the Tigers 38-14 before a shivering crowd at Louisville ' s Fairground Stadium. In the game the Tigers did something they had not done all year, they scored in the first half. With just over 8 minutes gone in the first quarter, Darrell Martin hit wide-receiver Jerry Knowlton for a 15-yard touchdown pass for a 7-0 Tiger advantage. Following a Louisville field-goal, the Tigers scored again. On first down at the Cardinal 20, tailback Richard Williams took a pitch from Martin and raced 80 yards for his fourth touchdown of the year, and a 14-3 Tiger lead. However, from that point on the Tigers could do nothing right. Three consecutive tur- novers enabled the Cardinals to destroy the Tigers with a 28 point verrage early in the second half and to win going away. Richard Williams led the Tiger offense with 100 yards rushing on 24 carries. The loss dropped the Tigers to 1 and 4 for the season.

A strong second half by the visitors from Denton, Texas handed the Tigers their fifth loss of the season before 19,285 fans at the Liberty Bowl. Following a scoreless first quarter, North Texas took a 7-0 lead early in the second period. The Tigers came back and knotted the score at 7, when fullback Mike Dion carried the ball over from the one-yard line. Trailing 16-7 late in the third quarter, a Tiger drive stalled at the NTSU 14, and Rusty Bennett lofted a 31 yard field-goal to cut the gap to 16-10. However, that was as close as the Tigers got as the Mean Green added two fourth period touchdowns to win 29-10. Also, on a sad note, MSU lost defensive standout Keith Clark for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. Below: Tailback Richard Williams goes for a big gain against the Mean Green.

A regional television audience and a Liberty Bowl crowd of over 30,000 watched as the sixth ranked Seminoles defeated the Tigers 24-3. However, the victory for the visitors from Tallahassee did not come easy as the Tigers battled the visitors from start to finish. After the Seminoles had taken a 7-0 first quarter advantage, the Tigers started to move the ball. However, star tailback Richard Williams went down with an ankle injury and the drive fizzled out. Trailing 17-0 at the half, the Tigers were forced to punt on their first possession of the second half. The attempted punt by Russell Richards was blocked by the hard charg- ing Seminole defense and they recovered in the end zone for a touchdown and a 24-0 advantage. Late in the period Rusty Bennett kicked a 35-yard field goal to cut the margin to 24-3. Despite numerous opportunities in the final quarter, the Tigers were unable to capitalize and the final score remained 24-3.

MSU scored first as quarterback Darrell Martin capped a 15 play, 72 yard drive by hitting tight-end Darrell Nelson with a 2-yard touchdown pass. Rusty Bennett added the conversion kick to give the Tigers a 7- lead. After Vanderbilt tied the score with a second-period touchdown, the score remained 7-7 until the fourth quarter. With only minutes remaining Vanderbilt fumbled an MSU punt and Tiger defen- der Bill Chauncey recovered the ball at the Commodores 21-yard line. However, the Tigers had to settle for a 33-yard field goal by Bennett and a 10-7 lead. Vander- bilt responded with a 16 play touchdown drive to take a 14-10 lead and the even- tual victory.

For a while it appeared the Tigers might have the magic as they jumped to an early 10-0 lead. However, with just under five minutes to play in the half, the Bearcats scored a touchdown to cut the Tigers lead to 10-7.

A variety of bizarre calls by the of- ficials and two fourth quarter touchdowns runs gave Tulane a hard fought victory over the inspired Tigers in New Orleans. After MSU had grabbed a 7-0 first period lead on a 2-yard burst by fullback Mike Dion, Tulane knotted the score at 7 after a mysterious pass inter- ference call against the Tigers gave the Green Wave the ball at the Tigers one yard line. In the third period, Memphis State took the lead back on the strength of Rusty Bennett ' s 30-yard field-goal at 10-7. Two short touchdown runs by Tulane gave them a 21-10 lead in the fourth quarter, then MSU cut the lead to 21-16 on a 15-yard toss from Darrell Martin to Jerry Knowlton. With three minutes remaining, a roughing the kicker penalty gave Tulane the ball back and the eventual victory over the Tigers. The loss dropped MSU to 1-9 for the season.

Memphis State, sparked by an out- standing performance by its defense, took a season ending 6-0 victory over Wichita State at the Liberty Bowl. Led by senior linebackers Todd Ondra and Michael Thomas, Tiger defense stopped Wichita State ' s highly acclaimed offense cold. Offensively, the Tigers were led by running backs Anthony Parker and Mike Dion who set up both Tiger scores with some fine runs. The Tigers points were provided by senior placekicker Rusty Bennett. Bennett closed out his out- standing Memphis State career with a pair of short field goals. The win gave the Tigers a 2-9 record for the season. It was the final game for Tiger head Coach Richard Williamson who was fired by the university. Williamson ' s record for his six years at Memphis State was 31-35. 118 Sports Seahawks Draft Former Tigers Memphis State has had its share of great football players in the past. Cur- rently, 14 former Tigers stars grace the professional ranks in both Canada and the United States. These players have had a big impact on their respective teams, but no two players have made bigger headlines than Keith Butler and Keith Simpson of the Seattle Seahawks. The pair were drafted by the Seahawks in 1977 after impressive careers at MSU. Butler was the career leader in tackles with 385 while Simpson is the single game interception leader with three grabs against North Texas State in 1977. Simpson a cornerback and Butler a linebacker have led a resurgent Seattle defense to two impressive shutout vic- tories in 1980. A feat that is especially noteworthy with today ' s high-powered N. F.

The two-time NBA all-star who led Memphis State to the NCAA finals in 1973 was let go by the Spurs after last season. Kenon and former teammate George Gervin led the Spurs to the NBA play-offs last season for the fourth con- secutive year as he averaged almost 20 points and 10 rebounds per game. While Kenon is now well known for his professional exploits, Tiger cage fans will long remember his heroics of the 1973 basketball season. Former MSU Coach Gene Bartow brought Kenon in from Amarillo Texas Junior College to play for the Tigers. Dr. K teamed with Ronnie Robinson and Larry Finch, a pre- sent Tiger coach, to win the Missouri Valley Conference Championship and a spot in the NCAA play-offs. The Kenon led Tigers shocked the basketball world as they upset several opponents to gain a place in the NCAA championship game against UCLA. It took one of the greatest performances in collegiate basketball history by the Bruins Bill Walton to snap the Tigers magic spell as the Bruins won 87-66.

With standouts Linda Street and Linda McKin- nie returning along with guard Marcia Monk from the injury list, the prospects for a banner year in 1980-81 looked great. However, the season started slowly for the Ladies as they lost three of their first five games. Then the Lady Tigers started to put things together and they won seven consecutive contests during December and January before fate dealt them another unlucky card. Sophomore sensation Linda Holloway decided to quit the team and transfer to another school. However, the loss of Holloway seemed only to pull the team closer together. Following their winning ways, the Lady Tigers traveled to Cleveland, Mississippi and defeated perennial powerhouse Delta State and then returned home to beat Wisconsin. Following these games, the Ladies went to the West Coast for a three- game road trip. Out west, the Lady Tigers defeated once beaten San Diego State and then lost to nationally ranked UCLA and Pepperdine. This gave the Ladies an 11-5 won lost record at that point in the season.

Not every person who went to college was gifted enough to compete at the var- sity level, and for that reason intramural sports are offered. Memphis State had a wide variety of intramural sports to choose from. MSU was also recognized ■ l in recent years for having the best all- around intramfural athletics program in the nation, as the team from Lambda ChiAlpha fraternity won the national intramural athletics championship in 1979. No matter what the students was interested in competing for the fun and exercise or competing to win Memphis State ' s intramural program had a sport and competition for everybody. y « % ► -f- S £ 162 Sports Sports Hall of Fame Memphis State University inducted 13 persons into the university M Club Hall of Fame at a dinner at the Holiday Inn Rivermont on October 24.

Sports 163 Memphis State Goes Through 164 Sports Changing Coaches RETIRE SPOOK MURPHY 1980 was a year for controversy in the Memphis State athletics department. In the wake of a dismal 2-9 season, his sixth year at Memphis State, Coach Richard Williamson was released as head football coach at MSU. Many people were displeased that Williamson was let go, but still others believed that the real problem was elsewhere in the athletic hierarchy. Still with the release of Williamson, there was an open void in the athletic staff at MSU. The search for the new coach, which was led by MSU President, Dr. Thomas Car- penter, lasted quite some Lime and name after prominent name was hinted as be- ing the new head coach. Finally, the choice was made and the new head coach was formally introduced to the public at the Memphis State-Delta State basketball game. The new coach was Rex Dockrey, a former Tennessee assistant coach and the head coach at Texas Tech University. The native Ten- nessean who had produced a 15-16-2 mark in his three seasons as the head coach at the Texas school, came to MSU on the heels of a 5-6-0 year. However, despite his unfavorable showing in 1980, coach Dockrey is respected by his peers as being an outstanding recruiter, an area Memphis State had been lacking in previous years.

Fashion-minded students in the Uni- versity Programs Fashion Board were of- fered opportunities to model in fashion shows both on the Memphis State campus and in the community. The board sponsored a number of fashion shows on campus including the Woolf Brothers fashion seminar, the Homecoming Fashion Show, and a Spring Fashion Show. They sponsored a Valentines Day Show for UNICEF and joined Seventeen Magazine in sponsoring a Fall Fashion Prep Rally, which was attended by over 700 students and faculty members. The 56 member organization gave awards to the Top Ten Best Dressed Students. 234 Clubs American Society of Mechanical Engineers .... Dedicated to the promotion of pro- fessionalism and leadership in the field of engineering, the 40 members of the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers enjoyed their sixth year at Mem- phis State. The coed-group got first hand exposure to actual engineering practices and the various aspects of their future professions through a variety of events. They took a series of tours of industrial plants and a tour of the Memphis State Nuclear facility. Members also benefited from a variety of speakers who addressed them at their meetings. The organization enjoyed a well rounded social life as they sponsored a Welcome Back to School Party, an engineering picnic and they joined Tau Beta Pi, IEEE, and ASCE in sponsoring an Engineering Party. They closed out their busy year with a trip to their organizations Regional Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, where they were honored as being the most improved chapter in the South. Clubs 235 The Memphis State student newspaper, the Helmsman, continued its tradition of providing the student body and the faculty with complete news coverage. The paper continued to present the lighter side of college life mixed with the events prevalent in the world and the community, in a manner that was appeal- ing to the students and faculty. The en- tertainment and editorial sections of the paper kept the students informed about the latest developments on campus and in the community that would effect them directly and possibly in the future. The Helmsman again was the place to get the inside stories and the low-down on Tiger athletics. The paper provided complete coverage of the Tigers in every sport from football to racquetball.

However, all of this was necessary to keep everybody sane so they could complete this 1981 DeSoto, which, like all else that happened this past year, is history.

This annual, like a history book, was a written, as well as pictorial, record of this past year ' s events. As soon as it was published it became a document of history. It served as a reminder of all the good times, as well as the bad, that were experienced throughout the course of the year. The DeSoto staff can be called historians, for they were truly devoted. They spent numerous hours laying out pages, identifying and cropping pictures, writing copy, thinking of captions and headlines, correcting mistakes, and putting it all together for the staff, faculty, and students at Memphis State, so in 20 years they will be able to look back at the events they were directly or indirectly involved with.

Below: Left and right: The telephone proves to be a useful instru- ment, used several times daily by Michael Lebovitz and Barbara Riley, to get some of their work done. DeSoto 239 Staffers Compile Years Events Historians worked long and hard to compile a history book. They had to make sure all the facts were straight, the spelling was correct, and that there were no punctuation or grammatical errors. They had little time, to do anything else, for there was much work to be done. They were a group of individuals devoted to their work. They were interested in having a chronical filled with the hap- penings of a certain time and the people and events surrounding those happen- ings. They knew this book would serve as a reminder 20 years later of those hap- penings and they would have a written guide to relive their experiences. Much research was done and many good times were missed, but the end result made all the work worthwhile. Right: Steve Knox and Faye Myers engage in inten- sive stareout.

And Outdoors Memphis and Memphis State are for- tunate to have two of the finest athletic facilities in the nation, in which to hold different events. Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the home of the annual Liberty Bowl Game and the site of all MSU home football contests, was constructed in 1964. Built as a memorial to the veterans of World Wars I II, and the Korean War, the stadium has a seating capacity of 50,180. The Mid-South Coliseum is the home of all MSU basket- ball contests. The arena, which was built in 1964, is one of the most beautiful, functional and versatile facilities in the Mid-South. The building which has a seating capacity of 11,200 for basketball, is used for a variety of events during the year ranging from athletic events to con- certs and trade shows.

Closing 291 Chucalissa ' s Here Too MSU ' s other facilities are visited by people from all over the nation and the world. For example, Chucalissa Indian Village. The Civilian Conservation Corps un- covered Chucalissa during the construc- tion of Fuller State Park. MSU obtained the village in 1962 and with the help of an MSU instructor, Charles E. Nash, rebuilt the grounds. Chucalissa is the Choctaw word for Abandoned Houses and is over 1,000 years old. Memphis State students can get instruction and actual field work at the little town while the town in return gets the care of the students. i «fw?r !r n [v1 Top left: Chucalissa Indian Village surrounded by whereabouts.
