After one hour of standing, the lines began to move and the 3,000 who could squeeze into the Field House were ad- mitted. Many students, faculty and locals, however, weren ' t admitted.

Hoffman, who continues to speak out for the have nots, sees the current situation in Nicaragua as a case of bully (the U.S. government) beating up on a defenseless playmate (the Sandinista government). Rubin, who flashed his American Express card, stated, Money is the means to an end. It is the vehicle to realize our beliefs. Early in the second semester, former CIA director William Colby visited the MSU campus. He also spoke words of concern about the lack of communication between the two super powers — the USSR and the USA. The former director warned his audience of liberal thinking regarding detente.

The debate centered around the economics of the arms race with Schlafly stating that the United States is a can-do country, able to have wealth, size and a president that will make sure the Soviet Union will not conquer us.

Registration By Valli Blalock It might be called MSU ' s version of the law of the jungle: only the strong — or lucky — survive. Newcomers who have heard vague stories face it half-heartedly, as a neces- sary evil like having a tooth pulled. Veterans seem outwardly blase, while inwardly a nervous wreck. It is REGISTRATION. Registration is the process by which innocent people become recognized as students at MSU. It ' s like the supreme test: Can you stand in countless lines an average of two hours each and still remain coherent? How well can you keep track of those necessary alternate schedules? Can you cope with being told that you ' re in the Mike Farmer, Photo Services wrong line, there are no cards left for that class and that section (the last one you need) was canceled? That ' s the question — can you cope? How do inductees into the happy world of MSU cope with the frustration at the end of the lines and the cashiers at the end of the tunnel? Pam Hiss, a freshman majoring in Computer Science, said registration was the worst time of my life! Even though she managed getting through the card room without problems, she says she spent hours standing in lines to pay. She has hopes that regis- tration won ' t be as bad next time. A sophomore biology major, David Bowles, also faces registration optimistic- ally. Calling it a challenge, he is ready to tackle it again. farmer p hi k Too many times the registration process becomes too much to handle on your feet. Class cards, schedules and advisor ' s slips litter the floor as students try to regroup. Sophomore Merry Clements, a music major, agrees that it is a challenge, but she also adds, It ' s a madhouse! But like most survivors she seems ready to try again. And if the terrors on the third floor of the UC aren ' t enough to do you in, the University Store on the first floor awaits to finish you off. Well, maybe it isn ' t that bad. It doesn ' t happen too often, and though traumatic, it is rarely fatal. jL A Sometimes two heads are better than one when trying to work out your classes Mike Farmer, Photo Services Registration ■■ 17 By Ricky Davis | I I am often asked why I decided to | j I attend a university that is so far L mJ away from my Chattanooga home. I usually respond by saying that I want to see how well I can live on my own — assert my independence. Leaving home and going off to college is a great challenge for any young person just graduating high school. Since I am physically handicapped, the challenge is even greater for me. Before coming to Memphis State, I had heard that the university provides an office of competent and concerned people who help insure that physically handicapped students have as much chance for a rewarding life and education as students who don ' t have obvious physical handicaps. I have a very difficult time trying to express in a few words how much help Donna Sparger, Sue Atkins, and other devoted people in Handicapped Student Service have been to me. Don Moy, Photo Services ► With the help of her friends and sorority sisters, Candy Love has no problem getting around Memphis. I l , xr ; A Little Differently Since I cannot walk and have problems with hand coordination, I do need help doing some everyday things that most people have little trouble accomplishing by themselves. The people in Handicapped Student Services help me to select and interview personal attendants who help me with activities which enhance the quality of my life. Although I have trouble deciding what to ask of my attendants (because of my sometimes too submissive personality), I become good friends with them and respect them for their loyal and caring attitude. The people in Handicapped Student Services also play an important role in helping me interview academic aides. Since I cannot write very well with a pencil, my academic aide goes to my classes with me and takes notes for me. He also writes for me on tests and writes any homework that I dictate to him. My present academic aide not only helps me in my classes, but also has become a good friend. I still run into several problems that stem from my handicap. Although my academic aide writes most of my homework for me, I type all of my English papers in my dorm room. I have been typing for many years, but I am not very fast. I spend approximately six hours typing a paper that most of my classmates write in an hour. This additional time can be attributed to my slow typing as well as to the care that I put into the structure and content of my papers. I do become frustrated when I think of the extra work I must put forth, but I feel somewhat compensated when my efforts result in an A. Also, cold weather, an incon- venience for all students, is especially hard for me. I need assistance putting on and taking off coats, gloves and hats. Even with assistance this frequent dressing and undressing takes time - time which I can rarely spend between classes. Thus, if I do dress so I ' m comfortable outside, I ' m sure to get hot in class; if I dress so I ' m comfortable in class, I freeze when I venture outside. Left with such an undesirable choice, the best I can do is hope for warm weather. However, I enjoy most of my experiences at Memphis State. My friends give me moral support when I need it, and many people whom I don ' t even know, are happy to assist me when they think I can use their help. I make many mistakes in my college life, but I try to learn from the mistakes. With the help of my family and friends I hope to achieve independence.

If you guessed Overton Square, you ' re only half right. If you guessed Federal Express, you ' re absolute- ly right. Federal Express corporation, which specializes in the overnight door-to- door transporation of packages and docu- ments, employs about 2,000 sophomores and juniors from campus for part-time work. Students from Rhodes College, Christian Brothers College and State Tech are also hired for part-time work. Occasionally, representatives will visit the campus to interview students with specialized majors. Federal Express does not hire fresh- men because the corporation believes the first year should be a time for concentrating on grades, gaining a sense of responsibility and getting settled in. By the second year, the corporation feels the student has demonstrated a commit- ment to school. Sophomore ToddGilreath waited five months before he was called in for an interview. After working for IV2 months, Todd feels that the hours can become tedious. It ' s good pay for a college student, but it is a bit hectic and inconven- ient as far as studying and sleeping goes. Darron Dockery appreciates the possibility of promotion from within. If there ' s an opening in marketing, I ' ll have a good chance of getting the job because I ' m a marketing major. ► Students sort packages according to cities and regions as they are moved down a conveyor belt.

Foster, Supervisor at the Tennessee Job Services (located in Room 112 in the Health Center), said students come in daily seeking employment with Federal Express. There are currently 100-200 students on file. Foster said the students have an 85 percent chance of working there when they apply in the Job Service Office. Working part-time at Federal Express is not a stepping stone to a permanent position, said Foster. The student works there a couple of years and moves on, she added. According to Foster students have no qualms with the corporation. They ' re all excited about working for them. Nine Months of working at Federal Express from midnight to 4 a.m. isn ' t hard for junior Karl Rusterhotz. Al- though he likes working at Federal, Karl says, The hours make school very diffi- cult. Despite the hours, when asked about the pay at Federal Express, Karl answered, I love it! j JL: J.S.

Stepping down eagerly from the bus which had brought him direct from New York, he decided to look for accommodations and recover from his traveling ordeal. On the far side of the street he noticed a welcome- looking establishment, calling itself The Pizza Inn. With great relief the student entered and, using much sign language, made it clear he needed a room. Chuck never did discover what came of the oriental gentleman that night. Such are the hazards of being an international student at Memphis State University. It ' s fortunate that interna- tionals have an effective support group which resides in the University Center. Dean Holmon and his assistants, Meg Ingles and Linda Overton, form the nucleus of International Student Associa- tion (ISA) activity on campus. The Dean takes care of the immigration and finan- cial wrangles which confront students, while Ingles and Overton concentrate on the cultural problems which inevitably follow a change of environment. Students will drift in and out of Ingle ' s office, using it as a base, peering at notice boards and leaving messages for friends. Through long experience of teaching internationals, Ingles now has an in- depth knowledge of a wide range of subjects. She not only has to know where the cheapest and most reliable cars can be bought but also at which restaurants students can find that particular diet to which they ' re accustomed. It ' s not always easy to contain such questions, especially when one ' s dealing with a multi-national group. Although Memphis State University doesn ' t actively recruit foreign students there is no shortage of numbers. There are 300 students all told, of which the largest contingent, 108, is from Malaysia. The Malaysians, due to the lack of university places in their home country, flock to Memphis for its low tuition fees.

Adim shows off his Nigerian 22 Student Life All the World ' s a Stage Smaller groups come from India, Taiwan, Iran, Nigeria and Jordan, and there are many more. During an orientation week just prior to the start of the fall semester a sociology lecturer described foreign students as Risk Takers. This is a fitting descrip- tion of the students as a group because this is what they really are. With the support of their families they travel thousands of miles to gain an education. Some students remain in Memphis for the duration of the degree as flying home proves to be too expensive. At the same time they are gathering their credits, they also have to arrive at some tough conclusions as to whether they will remain in this country or return home with the skills they have acquired. Local Memphis families play a large part in the cultural exchange by intro- ducing students to Memphis through the Host Family Program. Most students are assigned to a host family and they continue to meet with them while they remain in the Memphis area. Many students encountered their first American Thanksgiving in this way. With support like this the ISA should continue in fine fettle, especially as Thomas Carpenter, MSU president, is convinced of the benefits of having international students on campus.

Then head over to the Mark Twain lounge and maybe do what you ' ve been putting off all day — study! This very versatile place is run by many employees including a large number of student workers. The man in charge of all this is the Director, Jay Andersen. The center provides activi- ties, events and services for the university community, he said. Assistant Director is Richard D. Jones. Besides being a place where students can get together, relax and study, the University Center is also a meeting place for many groups and organizations on campus. The Student Government Asso- ciation, the Black Student Association and the Student Activities Council, among others, meet there regularly and have their offices there. The center also provides many conference rooms for faculty and students. uJk ▲ U.C.

The following week Susan Taylor, editor-in- chief of Essence magazine, challenged black stu- dents to call for social change. We are the conscience of this country. Until we are all em- powered, none of us are empowered. Taylor was sponsored by Delta Sigma Theta, a social sorority. Paul Robeson Jr., president of Paul Robeson ' s Archives in New York, spoke about his father ' s achievements later in the month. The presentation The Life and Times of Robeson, sponsored by the Black Student Association and Phi Alpha Theta, the history honorary, featured speakers and films. Elementary students at MSU ' s Campus School also celebrated Black History Month. Their celebra- tion took a different form, however, as they played a game based upon the game Bingo. Developed by two fifth and sixth grade teachers, the game centered around the personalities of famous blacks rather than just historical facts. Other activities during February included a black cultural forum sponsored by Sigma Gamma Rho, a social sorority, and the local chapter of the N AACP. The Baptist Student Union presented films, and A Comedy Workshop was presented by comedian Jessie R. Broom Jr., a former MSU student. mH, learning the ...

State law raised the drinking age from 19 to 21. MSU ' s Interfraternity Council ' s Fall Formal Rush for 1984 was the first dry (non-alcoholic) rush since 1948. Accord- ing to Greek Affairs Adviser Mindy Sopher, some rushees were uncomfort- able at the bi-annual event without beer. The IFC voted on beerless rushes in April 1984. The higher drinking age and university administration were not factors in the decision. The IFC realized the liability it legally assumes for students who drink too much during rush. The emphasis is now on responsible drinking. Sopher mentioned that Greeks and their advisers attended workshops designed to convey the implications of drinking. For the most part the new attitudes about drinking have not affected party attendance to any noticeable degree. Even though rush parties are dry, Greeks are not prohibited from throwing parties where alcoholic beverages are served. Greek leaders have taken a more responsible attitude toward these alco- holic parties; for instance, many Greek organizations are now carding partici- pants. Some Greeks conduct closed parties that only members can attend. Closed parties permit more supervision over the members ' actions. Theme parties are now taking the place of many alcoholic parties. A theme party consists of choosing a theme, like Hawaiian luau, and serving food and non-alcoholic drinks to complemen t the theme. For example, Greeks could expect pineapples and Hawaiian Punch at a luau oriented party. MSU students have revived a local organization called Boost Alcohol Con- sciousness Concerning the Health of University Students, according to Sopher. Some objectives of BACCHUS are display- ing promotions for non-alcoholic parties and teaching how to plan a party res- ponsibly. The limited access to alcohol has not had serious repercussions within the Greek system. Some campuses across the nation have not been as lucky. Students at some universities have con- ducted demonstrations, etk, ► With the new drinking age law, liquor store propietors in Memphis have become much stricter with their carding.

For some people, living on campus is the Utopia they had longed for — out of the reach of Mom and Dad, and amidst the company of their peers. For others, an on-campus cell is God ' s way of punishing them for their sins. Each fall, Residence Life must turn away hundreds of students who apply for campus housing but simply won ' t fit into the eleven dormitories on campus. However, most students who desire campus housing for spring semester are given a room. The reason that it is easier to get a room in the spring is probably that many students find that dorm life does not agree with them. As these students leave the dorm, students eager to share a bathroom grab the chance to live on campus. gJh, ■4 Getting a room just right means a lot to most dorm residents.

Soap operas are one of the biggest fads on college campuses across America. They probably shouldn ' t be called a fad however. Fads are things that catch on like hula hoops and eventually disappear. Soaps have done anything but that. They have been popular for ages and show no signs of fading away. Many of today ' s regular soap viewers weren ' t always such avid fans. My God, old ladies watch soap operas, said Sondra Lewis, a sophomore journalism major. But that was before she joined the ranks of the soapies. Her favorites are All My Children and Loving, both of which are on at a convenient time for her. And even though she admits the stories sometimes get a little far-fetched, Lewis said she still enjoys them. There are basically three groups of soap opera viewers: the ABC group ( All My Children, Loving, One Life to Live, General Hospital and The Edge of Night ); the NBC group ( Another World, Days of Our Lives and Santa Barbara ); and the CBS group ( The Young and the Restless, As the World Turns, Capitol and The Guiding Light ). Dawn Johnston, a sophomore business major, is an obvious ABC groupie. She watches every soap opera on that station. A McCord ' s TV lounge is a lifesaver for dorm residents who have to keep up with their favorite soaps. Don Moy, Photo Services 40 Student Life Soaps What makes someone want to watch so many soaps? I just got hooked, Johnston said. They ' re addictive once you start watch- ing them. How many Erika Cains ' have we come in contact with? Will Erika outwit Adam, or has she met her match? General Hospital ' s Luke and Laura are back for the time being. Everyone is anxiously waiting to see if Frisco Jones, the fallen rock star, can make a comeback. While the ladies enjoy Jimmy-Lee Holt, Granf Andrews, and Robert Scorpio, just to name a few, the guys get to choose from Laura Spencer, Bobbie Brock, Holly Scorpio and Tanya Roscoff. What about NBC fans? Well, Mary Johnson, a senior majoring in early childhood, thinks NBC is the best — especially Another World. She said she began watching it when she was a little girl because it was interesting and has been a regular viewer since. Will the Phoenix rise from the ashes and over- power Roman? This is an answer many viewers await while watching Days of Our Lives. ▼ Asa Buchanon is a regular guest at the Kappa Sig house. Little Sisters aren ' t the only ones who keep track of One Life to Live General Hospital. All of this talk might make you ' think that girls are the only ones who watch the soaps. Guess again. Guys go for them too. Steve Auldridge, a freshman commercial music major, is a CBS soap junkie. He likes As World Turns. Boredom was why Auldridge started watching soaps. But the nothing else to do blues have left him a regular viewer. He considers the stories entertaining and often complex. Our problems seem relatively small when compared to Betsy ' s. She is haunted by a past life and is unaware that her newly created face is that of another woman ' s. Will Steve and Betsy ' s love be strong enough to reunite them on As the World Turns? What price will Jim and Annabell pay to unravel the mystery behind Victoria ' s doll? Are wedding bells ringing for India as she attempts to black-mail Phillip? Tune into The Guiding Light. Most freshmen, like Auldridge, dis- cover that starting college doesn ' t mean missing the soaps. Memphis State has three TV rooms (ABC, NBC and CBS) all of which are housed in the University Center. That means you don ' t have to miss a A Daily soap addicts not only watch their favorite shows, but somehow, deep within, all are only with those intriguing people on the boob tube. single love affair, divorce, or cutting remark. Many students take advantage of these facilities. A surprising number of students even schedule their classes so as not to miss their favorite soaps. Several sororities on campus also have TV rooms where avid fans can keep up with the plots of their favorite shows. But if the unspeakable happens and you do happen to miss a few episodes — don ' t worry. The local newspaper prints updates every week so you can catch up on all the action. So if you are scheduling your classes around your favorite soaps, if you are skipping class to see them, if you feel terrible when you miss a certain episode — you are not alone. Just hooked.

Don Moy, Photo Services By Angie Campbell Memphis State ' s campus radio station WSMS, FM 92, broadcasts eighteen hours every day from 6:00 a.m. to 12 midnight. The station has a jazz format with a variety of weekly specialty shows, includ- ing everything from reggae and blues to old jazz. The station supports and promotes the campus by broadcasting recitals live from Harris Auditorium in the Theater Communications and Arts Build- ing. All home athletic events are broad- cast. In addition, WSMS sends crews to many of the away games. They also broadcast campus-sponsored activities, such as Geraldine Ferraro ' s campaign speech in the MSU field house. Bob McDowall is the station ' s general manager. The department is headed by assistant general manager Lisa Hatchett, a graduate student; sports director Scott Johnston, a sophomore; and traffic direc- tor Brenda Steverson, a senior. ▼ Bob McDowall, station manager, has many years of experience behind him, including station manager of FM 104 WRVR. About forty students volunteer to work at the station. Although a major in broadcasting is not required, minimal experience or 3821, a radio productions class, is. Most students come from 3821, and several experienced students from high school radio stations. Department heads work at least ten hours weekly. Volunteers work based on their availability. Scheduling consists of four-hour day shifts and three-hour night shifts. Student credit can be obtained through an arrangement. Lisa Hatchett, assistant general manager, said, The real value is the experience the student is getting. The station ' s broadcasting format is followed according to an instruction design. Times are designated for music and breaks, and the category of music to be played is given. Flexibility and creativity are allowed by the choice and delivery of the music played by the disc jockey. Bob McDowall says they are working diligently to increase the power of the station. Our efforts look promising. Many students have gone on to success- ful radio careers in Memphis, as well as other areas. Lisa Hatchett is currently a disc jockey at WRVR, FM 104. Elaine Starnes, freshman broadcasting major, is one of the volunteers working at WSMS. She has one show each week, Thursday mornings 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. She has experience in broad- casting at Craigmont High School. Elaine centers her show around Memphis State. Every day before her show, she reads the The Daily Helmsman and uses that information. She says that even with one show a week, preparation is very time consum- ing. Elaine said, Being a disc jockey is not as easy as it sounds; it is not just talking. You must speak without stumbling, work knobs while talking. It is easy to get confused and forget your place. You must have personality, cannot be boring and you must develop your own character- istic show.

Looking only at the full time students, 30% are freshmen, 26% are sophomores, 20% are juniors and 24% are seniors. Women also outnumber men at the graduate level with 272 women enrolled compared with 93 men. Black students, for the most part, tend to major in communications and fine arts, arts and sciences and education, with those majors representing almost 72% of the MSU black student popu- lation. Additionally, almost 16% are enrolled in business, 8% in engineering and 1% in law. More than 2%, or 87 black students, are Greeks at MSU. That includes four black women ' s groups: Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Gamma Rho and Zeta Phi Beta, and four black men ' s groups: Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi and Phi Beta Sigma.

On almost any city street in America joggers can be seen, panting to finish that last mile. Aerobic classes everywhere are bounc- ing and stretching to the chants of Jane Fonda, aided of course, by the vocals of Michael Jackson and Irene Cara. Once dank and spartan gyms have become posh social gathering spots. Bodybuilders of both sexes meet to exercise and to scope the physiques of Studies have shown that the average college student puts on between ten and twenty pounds during his or her fresh- man year. Bad eating habits (especially among dormitory residents), decreased physical activity and increased consumption of beer and liquor are a few of the culprits. During the 1984 fall semester, a total of 134 physical education classes were offered in about 29 different activities. Ranging from juggling to weight- lifting to karate, several of these courses showed an increase in the number of classes offered from the spring semester. The most offerings were in tennis, racquetball and figure control and condi- tioning. By far the fastest growing of these three is the figure control and conditioning class. It was first offered in 1966 and by 1976 had evolved into an aerobic exercise class. A total of sixteen classes were offered in this area in the fall of 1984, up two from the spring. Also not to be overlooked are dance classes. Beginning classes in modern dance, ballet, and jazz dance all showed increased offerings in the fall semester, and the total number of classes offered in the Dance Department increased by two in 1984. The sports facilities at MSU are well- equipped and have seen an increase in frequency of use over the past several years. The track behind the Field House has become a popular spot for joggers, cyclists and walkers alike. Swimmers crowd the PE complex ' s indoor pool year-round, and getting a racquetball court reservation is like trying to get basketball tickets. Memphis State is definitely a part of the nationwide move toward physical fitness and good health habits. For whatever the reason, ever- increasing numbers of students are exer- cising, and the University has responded by providing instructors and facilities to meet the demand. Hopefully, this trend will result in a stronger, longer-lived generation of adults whose bodies as well as minds have been prepared to cope with the pressures and pleasures of living in today ' s society.

The story, which takes place in a run-down Mexican hotel in 1940, involves the audience by revealing several agonizing secrets about the unlikely group presently residing there. Although most of the characters confront some personal changes, the plot focuses on the disturbed Rev. T. Lawrence Shannon and the relationships in his life. Shannon, a man of dubious past and present, appears torn between physical desire and spiritual love, two human traits not easily reconciled. His fragile soul, engaged in a search for life without complications, finally reaches a breaking point. The catalyst for this potential explosion is the choice Shannon must make between his simple physical love ▼ The world ' s oldest living and practicing poet, Jonathan Coffin, (Dr. Stephen Malin) pens his final work at the Casa del Verde.

Joanna Helming ' s direction of this emotionally charged Main Stage pro- duction was not the only backstage stand- out. Jan Chambers, beginning her second year with the Theatre Department, gave the production a set design that provided a completely realistic background. Also notable were Dr. Douglas Koertge ' s costume designs.

Vanzandt Night Of The Iguana deep in the heart of Texas, ain ' t ... Nothin ' Dirty Goin ' On! By Andrea Torrence The Memphis State University Theatre topped off its 1984-85 season with a presentation of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas . This production, directed by Keith Kennedy, was the rousing story of a house of ill repute that prospered in the little town of Gilbert, Texas under the supervision of Miss Mona, played by Linda Childress. Eventually, this fine establishment was put in jeopardy by the uproar that was brought on by Melvin P. Thorpe, played by Ken Parnell. This clamor was heightened when this television sen- sationalist, the watchdog of Texas himself, paraded through the whore- house one night gathering depictive photographs of some Aggie football players celebrating their victory. The commotion weaved its way through Texas and finally made its way to the Governor, played by S. A. Weakley. Even though this classic bordello had long served a widespread public service, This production included a cast of the Governor, due to a majority appeal, ordered that the brothel be closed down. Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd, played by Jim Palmer, found the task of closing down the whorehouse a very difficult one because of his close ties with Miss Mona. over 30 people and had 13 musical numbers. The choreography was by Susan Chrietzberg, costume design by Douglas J. Koertge, music direction by Kermit M. Medsker, and the impressive set design was crafted by Jan Chambers. A Melvin P.

Another play was situated inside the main production, creating a genuine classic comedy. The comic genius of director Paul Bogart unfolded as glittering nostalgia with a colorful tale of mishaps encoun- tered along the route to success by an average kid from the Bronx. The true artistic aspect of the director shone through from the sharpness and brilliance of every scene to every indivi- dual performance. The heart of the comedy lay in John Dye ' s outstanding portrayal of David Kolowitz, post-high school youth, as he wandered lost in pure awkwardness and naivete. He stumbled across the stage and into the dressing room of the sexy leading A Unloading a box of machine shop parts, David Kolowitz (John Dye) con- fesses to his pal Marvin (Galen Fott), Sometimes I think I ' m a sex maniac. }S Van ndt 72 Student Life lady, Angela Marlowe, played seductively by Donna Kimball. There was a constant activity running through each scene, giving the humor an unpredictable and spontaneous quality. The next laugh was awaited with anxious anticipation. Bogart expertly built the situation up from an innocent, ordinary account of another high school graduate bored with work, to the finale overflowing with Broadway-esque antics. The entire production sparkled with subtle comic situations, due to a script loaded with amusing arguments. Providing the conversation were Galen Fott as David ' s companion, Marvin, and David ' s parents, played to excellence by Karen Mason Riss and Ken Parnell. Douglas J. Koertge, costume designer, thoroughly outfitted the entire cast in a bright wardrobe array, each piece specifi- cally appropriate to each character. Jfe, J.S Vanzandt A Marvin (Galen Fott) says he thinks about girls, too, but he thinks of other things, like, like — food, for instance. Third-rate actor and owner of a disre- putable school for actors, Harrison Marlowe (Ken Zimmerman) siphons a nerve-steading drink from his pocket while Angela (Donna Kimball), his daughter, looks for a new leading man among Bon Baxter (Paul Lormand), Don Darwin (Michael McDonald) and David Don Colman Kolowitz (John Dye). Mi Enter Laughing « 73 perspectives of ... Murder As the lights come up, smoke engulfs the stage and enters the audience into the entangled confusion of an Oriental mystery; Rashomon. This production was originally in the form of two short stories which were later combined into one film, and then adapted for the stage by Fay and Michael Kanin. The stage version was first performed in the late 50 ' s and early 60 ' s on Broadway. Rashomon, directed by Ken Zimmerman and Susan Chrietzberg, is the story of a murder that is witnessed from four distinctly different angles. This thought provoking production left the audience with a question about truth — what is it, A medium (Chiffonye Cobb) tells the husband ' s version of the murder and rape from her eerie perspective. and how do you know it when you see it? Ken Zimmerman says, Truth comes to us in different ways, which was the main focus of the play. The set, created by Kermit Medsker, was of quality construction and repre- sented three different areas intertwined into one set design. The lighting, courtesy of Sue Kastner, added an eerie atmos- phere that heightened the show ' s inten- sity. This was also the first play in which full-time students could get in free. The combined skill and talents of the directors, the set and lighting crew, along with all of the performers, made a strong statement about truth, which can be best summed up in the words of the Wigmaker who said, Truth is like a fire- fly.

Academic life came easy for some, while others spent many long hours struggling in Brister Library or in the solitude of their rooms. Whatever the attempt, each student strived to make the grade. Students were given the opportunity to grow and expand their minds in many different fields of study. Every- thing was considered a learning exper- ience — whether from a textbook or from each other. - A v A For some students the studying never ends. A V A Two students make last minute adjustments before their big moment. 78 Academics Dr. Carpenter: a student ' s President by Dawn Johnston Academics Editor Not just another face at Memphis State is fifth year President, Thomas C. Carpenter. A previous student of M.S.U., President Carpenter and his lovely wife Oneida are involved in many campus and community related activities. Their son Glenn attends Memphis State, thus invol- ving the president and his wife even further in student life. Glenn, typical of many college students, attends classes during the day and works for Federal Express at night. A common misconception about President Carpenter is that he is untouchable to all except admin- istration. Hindered by a pile of budgets, appeals, and boring bu- reaucracy, President Carpenter still makes himself available to students. Charles Holmes, director of Uni- versity Community Relations, con- tends that President Carpenter enjoys talking to, working with, and helping out the students on an individual basis. He frequently defends students who have been victims of the system, and he is always there to help promised scholarship money come through, get a student into a class he needs to graduate, or assist a student who has made an appeal. .Jfc. ▼ President Carpenter is frequently seen I talking with students.

He also thoroughly supports the University Singers. Of course, since he and his wife have been here, they have become avid sports fans. The college where he was previously president had no athletic program, and he has enjoyed the success of not only our fine basketball team, but our other sports teams as well. When asked what he felt should posi- tively be printed, Mr. Holmes stated that all of the students should be aware that President Carpenter is a student ' s president. He is not a pawn in a governmental power play, or just another figurehead. He works for the students and because of the students he is truly a student ' s president. k Mike Farmer, Photo Services • President Carpenter shakes hands with December graduate Pamela Jackson who is unable to receive her diploma on stage due to her wheel- chair.

Security officers here on this campus aren ' t noticed much (except when they ' re giving tickets) but there are a lot of them. There are 49 officers and guards. How does one become a security guard at MSU? Well, the qualifications are relatively simple. You must be 21 years old; you must have no physical or mental defects; you must have a high school education; and you must never have been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral terpitude. These are the state minimum stan- dards, Fowler said. MSU has a training program for their officers which is six weeks long. Courses are similar to the academy at Donaldson which is Tennes- see ' s major law enforcement academy. Many legal subjects are covered but no stamina program (physical endurance program) is required because the officers are of various ages. Fowler said that he hopes in the future to be able to have a stamina program based on the ages of the officers so it would be fair. Are some officers here on campus also students? Yes — six officers and one guard are currently students. What makes the prospect of becoming a security officer so attractive? Well, for one thing, Security pays for two courses per semes- ter for their employees which is always helpful. When asked how safe he believed the Memphis State campus is Fowler said, Very safe. If it ' s not the safest campus in the South it ' s very close. Which is very encouraging for us all. He said that most of the crime on campus is larceny that is mostly caused by carelessness on the part of the student which Security cannot prevent. As for the rate of stu- dents as compared to outsiders that commit crimes on campus it is about 50 50, said Fowler. As for the Tiger Patrol — the Campus Escort Service, Fowler said that it is used all of the time and not just when there are scares as people believe. He said that they receive about ten to fifteen calls a night from people who wish to be iric Woodson ▲ Howard Edwards, security officer, talks to a distressed student needing assistance. Cedric Woodson 84 Academics escorted somewhere safely. One problem that Security has is the emergency phones around campus. They are only located inside the buildings and on weekends the buildings are locked. How does one get help? Well, Fowler said, they are working on that problem right now. They hope to have outside phones installed very soon. They are also planning to purchase advanced security technology such as computers and cameras to help them catch the bad guys. And that brings us to the biggest problem (and the one most students are aware of) — the parking situation. The main problem at Memphis State is park- ing, said Fowler. But Security is not to blame. They simply enforce the law by writing tickets. They give out about 600 or 700 a day. Also, Fowler said, students who receive tickets from these guards might not associate them with Security so much and not blame the security system for the parking situation. jlL Cedric Woodson Female security officer, Aieenia Akin, gets another one. ▼ Officer Charles Brook issues a citation to an illegally parked car.

That ' s how I find my history building Monday morn- ings. I just sight the tower and veer to the left... To many students, Brister Library is merely a landmark, a point of reference used to guide them across campus. The building, from the dignified portals of the original structure to the modern electronic doors and tower of the addi- tion, is certainly eye catching. Old Brister, as the original building is called, is the only building on campus to be recorded in the National Register of Historic Places. Brister ' s architecture and history are interesting but there is more to the library than that. The MSU libraries, under the direction of Dr. Lester J. Pourciau Jr., consist of most of the departments in the Brister library buildings and five outside branches. Within Brister, there are departments such as Interlibrary Loan, Microforms, Periodicals, Government Documents and MVC (the Mississippi Valley Collection), as well as an extensive reference department. The library building also houses the Honors, Library Science and Urban Studies Offices and the Learning Media ▼ Ann Pulliam, a senior in Home Furnishings, searches through the holdings file in order to find the location of a desperately needed magazine. ► Paul Willford of the library staff reads through material on microfilm located in the base- ment.

Brister is frequently regarded as a place to do homework or research for English papers, with few students realiz- ing its vast potential. When asked what he would like all students to know, Dr. Pourciau replied, That we ' re here and that a person who leaves this university without making full use of the library leaves as an uneducated individual. On the lighter side, it really is not necessary to use a map to find your way around it, just a compass. And the altitude changes en route to the top floor aren ' t so bad.

As students we ' ve probably all been asked that by relatives and friends. And how many of us shrug our shoulders and say Well, I just don ' t know right now. Don ' t worry — you ' re not alone. There are many people who haven ' t decided on a career yet. Deciding on a career is a major decision and should never be taken lightly. Not many know when they get to college what they ' re adept in or would like to do. What these people need is a boost in the right direction and the Strong Campbell Interest Inventory (Voca- tional Testing Exam) is just the thing that might get them going. The exam, given every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. in Scates Hall, can give a student a better idea of what he is adept in and also make suggestions about what fields he should look into. The test takes about an hour and the results (which come back in about a week) can be reviewed in private or with a group, whichever the student feels more comfortable with. The test is not timed. Sound too good to be true? Well, take it from Amy Schmidt, who is in charge of the testing, it ' s not that clear-cut. The exam is not a crystal ball. It does not tell a person what they were always meant to be, she said. It is designed to help them identify career possibilities. We can ' t guarantee that it will help every student but it is a starting place. Ms. Schmidt also said that the exam is only one part of their career planning workshops. Career planning takes time, she said. There are no quick, easy answers. The student should not stop after taking the exam, Ms. Schmidt said. He should follow it up by taking advantage of the other resources that they offer, such as filmstrips and books in their library about different occupations. They also offer a computerized career planning program called Discover which any student can use as long as he makes an appointment. Career Encounters is another service of the Interest Inventory group. It allows a student to spend some time with a professional who is in the field that the student is interested in. This gives the student on-hand experience that is very valuable. Still not convinced to use their ser- vices? If you ' re worried about the voca- tional test itself — don ' t. Ms. Schmidt said, It ' s not really a test — it ' s an inventory. It isn ' t something you can pass or fail. The same test is given to all students. It ' s free and quite painless. Go ahead and try it. Remember, students, we need all the help we can get. „J Cedric Woodson gg Academics T Tim Roberts and another student concentrate on answering the questionnaire quickly and accurately.

And the night school is considerably more expensive to operate because of smaller class sizes. While, Wanat said the proposals have sparked concerm among students and alumni, there appears to be little organ- ized effort to save the night school. He said about 290 students signed a petition to preserve the night division. None of the options would appear to disproportionate impact on enrollment of blacks in the law school. Minority enrollment in both divisions is under 10 percent. But retired U.S. Attorney Thomas F. Turley Jr., who served on a bar association committee that helped bring the law school to MSU in the early 1960 ' s, said the issue is what sort of people will become lawyers. I don ' t see any excuse for making the legal profession the last refuge of the wealthy, he said. It would only be open to people whose parents can afford to put them through school.

Maintenance of Memphis State ' s some fifty-six flower beds is supplied by the Ecological Center located on South campus. For approxi- mately ten years, this hidden tropical paradise has raised the foilage which beautifies the campus. At least three times per year, the staff changes the displays. The greenhouse houses nearly two hundred different varieties of plants ranging from the fern family to a banana tree. The temperature inside is usually regulated to 72 degrees fahrenheit. How- ever, in the summer, temperatures reach 96 degrees fahrenheit. Humidity is sup- plied by a clever system which incorpor- ates water pipes, grass lining the walls, and fans. All of the funding for the greenhouse, its equipment, and the foilage comes from the State of Tennessee. Therefore, none of the excess can be sold or given away.

Quality Care By Sondra Lewis To many people, the word nurse still brings to mind a picture of a woman in white taking temperatures, dispensing pills, giving shots and little more. How- ever, this old-fashioned view is fading away as it becomes increasingly apparent that quality nursing care is one of the strongest mainstays of all health-related professions. Dr. Norma Long, dean of Memphis State ' s newiy formed School of Nursing, believes the public should take a second look at everything a nursing career involves. Nursing is a profession. Unfortun- ately, it is not valued as one, she said. More people need to realize that health care is a labor-intensive business and nurses happen to be the largest group of professionals involved in that business. With more than 20 years of educa- tional and practical experience to her credit, Long seems to be just what the doctor ordered for MSU ' s new nursing school, approved by the State Board of Regents last March. Dr. John Dill, asso- ciate vice-president for academic affairs, has a great deal of confidence in Long ' s qualifications. « % 1 Xj According to Dill, the person Memphis State was searching for to fill the dean ' s position had to meet several require- ments. The primary condition was set by the National League for Nursing (the organization responsible for nursing pro- gram accreditation), which requires that all nursing school chairmen or deans must hold a doctorate. Secondly, prospective candidates had to possess what Dill called a national presence in the nursing field. We were looking for someone with experience as an educator, scholar, and practitioner — someone who demon- strated leadership and who could develop an outstanding nursing program, Dill said. Dr. Long met and surpassed all of our requirements. Long is the first dean of MSU ' s nursing program, which was changed from a department of nursing to a school of nursing this past summer. She replaces Joan Dodson, interim chairman of the nursing program, who has returned to full-time teaching. The nursing program is the only health professional under- graduate program at Memphis State. It is accredited by the National League for J 1 Nursing. All of her accomplishments can be linked with Long ' s firm beliefs in the importance of the ever-expanding field of nursing and nursing education. I definitely want to add comprehen- sive management and efficiency courses to the curriculum. Nurses need to know about the economics of health care, the cost to both patient and hospital. This includes the study of computers and understanding both new and established economic standards. Along with the complexities which new technological advances have brought, they have also created tremendous opportunities for persons entering the field of nursing. And what will be taking place in the near future in the nursing program at Memphis State? According to Long, the school is up for an all-important accreditation evalua- tion in the fall of 1986. Before this occurs, the school administration and faculty must do a program self-study, daling with everything from class curri- culum to classroom appearance. tJL Reprinted with permission I Q Academics T Dr. Norma Long is the newly appointed Dean of the Nursing program at MSU.

The College of Educa- tion underwent major linn revisions and modifica- tions of its entire program. This new program mandates clinical teaching experiences, thus lengthening the training period to five years. This change is partly due to Governor Lamar Alexander ' better schools program.. Students who are pursuing degree programs at Memphis State University that lead to teacher certification must com- plete their student teaching requirement in placements arranged, coordinated and approved by the Director of Professional Laboratory Ex- periences of the College of Education. Normally, teaching assignments are a full day in length for a designated num- ber of weeks. The internship begins as observation and eventually evolves into total responsi- bility for the class. Clinical experiences such as these allow the student teacher not only to test his ability in teaching academics and phy- sical education, but also his creativity in leading class parties. With hands-on experi- ence,, the new teachers learn how to psychologically deal with students of differing intellectual abilities and emo- tional and maturity stages. Those who fail in this portion of the program will receive their B.S. in Education but not their teaching certificate. This rigorous laboratory exper- ience will expose the prospec- tive teachers to the real world and better prepare them for the adventures ahead.

Dean Holman and his office is respon- sible for the international student adjust- ment to the MSU environment. In doing this, Minority Affairs provides many interesting activities such as in-depth orientations to MSU, cross-cultural pro- grams, tours of the city and field trips to such places as local hospitals, Federal Express and Channel 3 — anything they can do to give them maximum exposure to the American system and culture.

Helping Hand One of the most necessary of services at Memphis State is the Handicapped Student Service Office. The HSSO pro- vides and coordinates supplemental sup- port services which students need as a result of any type of disability. When handicapped students are men- tioned in general, we automatically think of physically handicapped people in wheelchairs. However, physical handi- caps are only one group dealt with at MSU Services are also provided for the visually impaired, hearing impaired, and learning disabled. For the visually impaired, HSSO offers assistance obtaining recorded textbooks, and paid readers, tutors, and transcribers. Peggy Plass of the HSSO says that most all of the teachers are willing to work with not only the visually impaired, but other disabilities as well. Special equip- Mlke ¥ l Peggy Plass offers a smiling face and a sympathetic ear and a lot of hard work to aid the handicapped students of MSU. ment provided for the visually impaired includes the Kurzweill Reading Machine located in the basement of the library which reads printed materials with a synthetic voice, closed circuit magnifiers and large print displays which print everything larger to be read easier, and Perkins Brailler and IBM Braille Type- writer which aids students in writing in Braille. The hearing impaired are usually paired up with interpreters for classroom and other University activities. They also have access to Telex FM Systems which are worn by teacher and student. This device magnifies the teacher ' s voice while cuting out any distracting noise in the classroom. Also available is a TDD which is a telephone device used by two deaf people or one deaf person and one hearing person. This device is designed like a typewriter and instead of talking into the phone, you type in messages. Learning disabilities are the hardest assistance in alternative test arrange- ments, and instruction in developmental reading and study skills. Peggy Plass feels that Memphis State is very accessible for the physically handicapped. There are numberous curb cuts on campus for those confined to a wheelchair, and a shuttle service which is especially needed for classes across the railroad tracks. However, she feels that automatic doors are desperately needed An A Peggy Plass works with all types of handicapped people, but the most evident is the physically handicapped student in a wheelchair. to diagnose and to deal with says Peggy Plass. A person with a learning disability may not even realize it because it is not a physical disorder. Learning disabilities are a permanent disorder which are recognized as difficulties in one or more of the following areas: reading compre- hension, spelling, written expression, math computation, and problem solving. Services provided for the learning dis- abled include alternative admissions review procedure upon request, special advising and preferential scheduling, before physically handicapped students are worry free. While not required to do so, all stu- dents who have a disability are encour- aged to register with the HSSO and to provide information on the nature and extent of disability. This registration entitles one to the legal rights accorded to disabled students, provides useful planning information to the University, and makes it possible for students to be notified of special activities, services, and opportunities. .A. 1 lo Academics Need a Job not a handout? By Dawn Johnston A common image of a college student is a rather intelligent looking boy or girl with lots of books and empty wallets. Most of the preconception is true — especially the money part (or lack thereof.) However, at Memphis State this need not be the case, for we have our very own Job Placement service which is geared toward placing part-time and full-time students in a part-time job where they can earn money and gain valuable experience. Job Placement Services, really Tennessee Department of Employment Security in cooperation with M S U , is available to any Memphis State student who wishes to work part-time. Full- time jobs are not available, says Martha Foster who is director of Job Placement. Similar programs have been tried at other schools, but were unsuccessful in their attempt to place students in jobs. Mrs. Foster feels that the success at Memphis State stems from the reality that MSU. is basically a commuter school. Many students go to school in the mornings and work afternoons and evenings or vice-versa and need as- sistance finding these jobs. The service is very successful in that it benefits not only the students, but the employers. First, it would cost them extra money to advertise for an employee. Second, many people would not realize the opportunity for employ- ment especially in a smaller business. What type of jobs are available? Any kind. A lot of people want jobs in their major to use on their resume for their career later on; some just want to lifeguard for the summer. There is anything available from the practical to the bizzare. Mrs. Foster said one com- pany called needing dwarfs for a Christmas play. They had already made the costumes, but had no one small enough to fit in them. Another company called needing someone to translate German. It seems the company had just bought a German bus but couldn ' t read the German on the panels. They couldn ' t even turn on the headlights without a translator. Many of the jobs available pay only minimum wage, but some, Mrs. Foster says, pay up to $ 10.00 an hour. So if you need a job, let them put you in the right place, and then the rest is up to you.

Job Placement mi sharing the college experience ... With a Spouse Since Memphis State is a home town college located in a large city, married students constitute a substantial portion of the student body. However, college for married students is far different from that of a single student. Many single students evaluate college as a social environment in which an education can be obtained. The social aspect is a large part of college life and makes college that much more appealing. However, for most married students college is not a social scene. They have a goal to reach — graduation. They take their classes more seriously. Supporting another person has a sobering effect on even the most jovial. There is not time or extra money for failing classes. Although the majority hold outside jobs as well as attend classes, they feel they spend more time studying than the average single student. This is due to the fact that they are involved in no extra- curricular activities. They get down to business: go to class, then go home. Although, sometimes their grades may outshine those of the rest of us, most admit they are actually missing out on the true college experience.

Married Student; 119 Getting Yo By Dawn Johnston What do you do when you ' re term paper is due tomorrow, and you haven ' t even started? B.S.! What do you do when you ' ve prepared a great essay answer, but the teacher asks you the other question? B.S.! What do you do when you walk into class and your teacher is taking up the homework you didn ' t do? B.S.! Yes, B.S. is something all college students resort to at some time or another. Let ' s face it, no one knows everything, but during this day and age B.S. can be very helpful in concealing this fact. B.S. belongs not only to procrastin- ators for excuses, but it also juices up the boringest of papers, lectures, oral reports, and speeches. If you want to know if your audience is listening, just B.S. a little and you can usually tell. It also proves helpful in establishing credibility. Because no one knows everything, you can make something up and chances are they will never know. For example, you walk into speech class one day and your teacher surprises you with an impromptu speech. Your topic is global thermonuclear warfare. You begin by telling the class how lucky you are that you got that particular topic because your uncle just happens to be a thermonuclear physicist. Then, you go on into how to develop your own back- yard bomb by rattling off equations and formulas that no one including yourself has ever heard of. When you are finally finished, you walk hesitantly back to your seat to wait and see if anyone believed all the bologna you fed them. The teacher hands you your critique sheet and low and behold you got an A because the teacher knew absolutely nothing about global thermonuclear war- fare, and she believed every word you said. Aren ' t you lucky you knew how to B.S.? Not everyone is a natural born B.S.er, but this is a skill which can be refined with only a few pointers. 1. Once you ' ve said something, never take it back or admit it was wrong. This will lead to mistrust and loss of credibility for future attempts. No one believes a wishy washy B.S.er. 2. Learn how to feel out your audience for naivity and gullibility. Some people will believe that 2+2=5 if you say it right, but some people you have to be more clever with. Don ' t jump in until you ' ve felt the water. 3. Don ' t challenge an authority. It is virtually impossible to convince a history teacher that Nixon was our greatest president. Although some teachers may 120 Academics give you points for originality and imagin- ation, pursuing B.S. in this nature can be hazardous to your grade. 4. B.S. is based on the principle that no one knows everything. Popular topics yourself. If you seem confident about what you are saying, others will be confident that what you are saying is true. However, no matter how gullible an audience is, they will pick up imme- are common knowledge, so pick an angle that is obscure and not only will you persuade your audience you know what you are talking about, but they will be impressed with your seemingly deep thoughts on the subject. 5. The most important thing to re- member about B.S. is how to present diately on lack of confidence. B.S. is a basic survival skill for college students, and should only be used as such. I ' m sure your teachers would appre- ciate it if you know what you are talking about at least some of the time?! ijL B.S. ,,. 121 Is it Greek to You? By Lisa Atkins Contrary to popular belief, Greeks do more than socialize. Greek life offers various opportunities in leadership, aca- demic, social and service areas. Greek life enables students to experience an active role in the university while supple- menting the college experience. The Greek system is composed of three different governing bodies: Women ' s Panhellenic Council, Interfra- ternity Council and Pan-Hellenic Council which work cooperatively for the better- ment of the Greeks. The Women ' s Pan- hellenic Conference is composed of dele- gates from each of the eight National Panhellenic conference campus sororities liaison to the administration. The council coordinates rush and helps with philan- thropic events as well as chapter pledging activities. The Inter fraternity Council at MSU is composed of ten National Interfraternity Conference fra- ternities. IFC aids the fraternity system in planning and programming activities which each chapters ' members and pledges will benefit from. The Order of Omega is an honorary organization for the fraternity and soror- ity members along with Greek faculty and staff members based on the ideals of outstanding scholarship, forthright lead- ership and sincere service to the com- munity and campus. The Order promotes in every way the Greek ideal of brother sisterhood. The head of all Greek affairs, keeping order over what could be mass hysteria, is Greek Affairs Advisor, Ms. Mindy Sopher. Ms. Sopher is limitless in her organizational and leadership skills. Her office is located in the University Center, room 425. Pan-Hellenic Council members include Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi and Phi Beta Sigma.

Also, Greeks emphasize scho- larship with minimum grade requirements of 2.0 or higher to become initiated — depend- ing on the organization. Greeks are avid Tiger fans. Just look in the student section at any Memphis State athletic event and try to count all the Greek jerseys and pins. The ballots for SGA and SAC elections are teeming with Greeks.

Greek affairs 123 students help freshmen ... Start on Firm Ground By Chuck Schrimsher To any freshman, coming onto a college campus for the first time can be a frightening experience. Memphis State has done something about this problem. Each summer, New Student Orientation Programs are conducted for incoming freshmen, transfer students and students who have been away from college for a long time. In the younger days of the program, New Student Orientation lasted for only one day. The freshmen were academically counseled, fed lunch, made to march all over campus in the hot summer heat and then plopped in front of a camera to have his her Student ID picture made. Last year, however, a major change was made in the program. All students who go through New Student Orientation will now be staying overnight so as to get more acquainted with campus life. Charles Griffin, the coordinator for New Student Orientation, said that it was a good change for several reasons. First of all, it gives the new students a better taste of campus life as compared to the one day program of two years ago. Also, it gives the freshmen more time for academic counseling which is im- portant, especially in their first year. In order to help the students during the orientation, fifteen assistants were hired to act as guides during the two day event. They will explain to the new students about university life and give them a tour of the campus, as well as be their buddies during the duration of their visit. There will be eleven two- day sessions for all students and two one-day sessions for those students who either have been to college before or are older than the normal age for college students. The cost for the two-day ses- sions will be $32 and will include four meals, a night in the dorm and a pool party with a movie and refreshments. The one-day will cost $12 and will include lunch. The New Student Orientation pro- gram gives freshmen and other new students a chance to get on firm ground for their college career at MSU.

Also, beginning with the spring ' 85 semester, construction of the new business building annex between the school of business and the school of law was begun. MSU ' s campus itself is fairly large, bounded by Central Ave. on the north, Spottswood on the south, Normal St. on the east, and Patterson St. on the west. The campus originally consisted of only a few buildings. Some of these are standing but have either been renovated or an- nexed, including the Administration Building, Scates Hall, Mynders Hall and the old section of Brister Library. adL ► More than just a building, the Health Physical Education, and Recreation is actually an entire complex. Its facilities include an indoor and outdoor pool, tennis and racquetball court s, several gyms, a combatives and weight room, and providing equipment rentals.

Candidly Speaking Moving on . On December 22, 1984 at the Mid- South Coliseum, 624 seniors and 271 graduate students marched the steps that thousands before them had marched. As Pomp and Circumstance played for the seventy-third commencement since the beginning of Memphis State, hearts pounded and responsibilities were real- ized. The distinguished speaker was Con- gressman Albert Gore Jr. who enlight- ened the graduates about the opportun- ities available in the proverbial real world. As Congressman Gore delivered his speech, the room was filled with mixed emotions as the fantasy of finish- ing school became harsh reality. Their years of hard study had finally brought them to this point of recognition and the end of their career at MSU. For some, this was a sad day of saying goodbye, but for most it was a day of rejoicing and looking forward to things to come.

Tomorrow ' s Soldiers The Army Reserves Officers Training Corps is going strong at MSU. Captain Darden of the United States Army says that most all of the Army officers come from an Army ROTC unit while only a very small percentage come from military academies such as West Point. The Army ROTC department of Military Science offers a complete four- year program in the MSU curriculum. The first two years consist of the Basic course, and is normally meant for fresh- man and sophomores. However, any student can take these Basic level courses which include studies in Basic leadership and management skills. The last two years, called the Advanced Course are restricted to contracted Army ROTC members. During this time they attend classes designed towards such studies as Army drilling, leadership, ethics, first- aid, military justice, and oral and written communications. These juniors and seniors referred to as MS 3 ' s and MS 4 ' s decide during this time whether to pursue an active career in the United States Army, or whether to go into the Army Reserves or National Guard. The Advanced Course students usually attend Advanced Camp during the summer between their junior and senior year in the program. This camp is held at Fort Louis in Washington and was described by Captain Darden as six weeks of mental and physical toughness. At the end of the fourth year students are commissioned as Second Lieutenants, and, depending on their choice of duty, some will go on to be career officers in the United States Army. tJ , ► Army ROTC members learn the art of rappelling at the Air Assault School at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

Reaching New Heights By Andrea Rukendorfer and Andrea Torrence a he Air Force ROTC program at Memphis State University prepares men and women for positions in the United States Air Force. Although flying is the primary mission of the Air Force, there is also the need for scientific, engineering, medical, and management personnel in national defense. It is designed to produce competent officers that have the know- ledge and ambition to keep our country strong and technologically progressive. During the year, cadets visit Air Force bases across the United States for two to three days. There are also summer field training courses for those entering their junior year. These particular courses are held for four to six weeks while cadets eat, breathe, and sleep Air Force on Air Force bases in places such as Kansas, Florida, Texas, and California. The ROTC program includes two groups, Angel Flight and Arnold Air Society which participate in social and foundational activities. Angel Flight is an honorary society open to non-ROTC members. It is the support group of the Air Force. They participated in the St. Jude Christmas Tree and donated around $1,000 during ► Dr. John Dill and Colonel Douglas Stockton present the Honor Ribbon for the month to D-Flight for excellent performance. ► From left: Major Michael Aven, Col.

The Arnold Air Society, an honors program for cadets with an unusually high G.P.A., take part in numerous community related activi- ties. Some of these include raising money for the March of Dimes, and for St. Jude ' s Hospital. AFROTC on the freshman and sophomore level is open to any student with a satisfactory GPA, along with an officer qualifying test, and a physical that must be passed. The ROTC program ' s main objective here at Memphis State is to provide its members with a strong educational background which is important to every facet of today ' s society. Scholarships, open to anyone, can pay for tuition, books, lab fees, and can also provide $ 100 a month to spend. Presently 40% of the cadets are on a scholarship. ▲ Jesse Asher of the Honor Guard salutes patriotically during the playing of the national anthem.

Most of us are familiar with this slogan from radio and television commercials. However, few realize the opportunities available through Navy-Marine Reserve Officers Training Corps Programs. United States citizens from the ages of 17 to 21 Vj years by June 30th after graduation are eligible for the programs. The Navy ROTC Scholarship program, the newest ROTC group to join Memphis State University, makes Memphis State one of the few college cam- puses to offer all ROTC programs. The majority of ROTC scholars are from high schools selected by Washington D.C. and Navy recruiting. To be eligible for consider- ation, students must have a GPA of 3.0, an ACT English score of 18 and a math score of 24 or an SAT score of 1150. However, the average SAT score is around 1250. Upon enrollment in the Navy ROTC Scholarship program, the freshman becomes a midshipman and is given full tuition, books, uniforms, fees, and 100 dollars per month tax free. Midshipmen may major in any area, but must take engineering, physics and calculus. m The first year serves as a trial period with no obligation. If the midshipman is still interested at the beginning of the summer, he begins a summer training program which consists of a four or six week cruise. After graduation, the midshipman is pro- moted to an Ensign, comparable to a second lieutenant in the Army. The Ensign then goes to commissioning training in which ever field he choses. During the four years of active duty, the Ensign can anticipate seeing as much as three-fourths of the world. That ' s adven- ture! After the four years are over, the Ensign is a civilian or can enlist and have a good opportunity to move to higher command. j|| T Midshipman 4th class Puckett, 1st squadron leader, stands at attention during Navy lab.

Lee started playing basketball very early and continued to develop his skill from junior high school into college. In high school, Lee led the Blue Devils to 60 consecutive wins and two state championships. His high school coach, Bill Terwilliger, saw his potential right away, as did Dana Kirk. Terwilliger said that Lee had height, excellent vision and God given talent. Even his high school team mates knew that Lee was in a Superstar class. Keith Lee seems to possess all of the attributes of a good ball player. In high Photo Services school, Lee was a bit of an unknown and generally underrated. In many Northern and Eastern newspapers, he was not listed as one of the top notch players, which he was. Being from the South, the media denied him recognition, but people who knew him were sure of his ability. As Lee continued to play at college, he made a name for himself, and now he has the recognition he deserves. One thing that was impressed upon him was to never achieve a goal too early; once you do, you ' ll go downhill — constantly try to get better. Well, as Keith Lee ends his basketball playing at Memphis State, it is obvious that he has achieved his goal and that he is not going downhill, but getting better and better.

Highs and Lows By Steve Norman Memphis State ' s 1985 season had some rewards, including Keith Lee ' s impending professional career, but also some disappointments, including the NCAA allegations of mismanagement. Memphis ' famous 24 jersey will stay on the basketball court even though it was retired spring of ' 85. Keith Lee ' s 24 will be visible on the court with the NBA ' s Cleveland Cavaliers. During the National Basketball Asso- ciation draft, Lee was the 11th overall pick. Lee was first chosen as Chicago ' s top pick. However, Chicago traded Lee and veteran guard Ennis Whatley to Cleveland for its top two picks — Virginia Union forward Charles Oakley and Virginia Commonwealth guard Calvin Duncan. General Manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers Harry Weltman, was bom- barded with questions regarding the accusations of NCAA violations by Memphis State. Word from the Inter- national Management Group was that Lee had been thoroughly checked out, and that IMG was satisfied with the findings — or lack of — on Lee. However, articles in Memphis ' Commercial Appeal and the national magazine Sports Illustrated made allega- tions concerning Lee and Memphis State ' s entire basketball program. Accusations ran rampant as the press thrived on reports that a cloud of myster- ious circumstances surrounded Booster club activities, Coach Dana Kirk ' s profes- sional and privite affairs and the recruit- ment methods used to attract players.

This probe was followed by an FBI and IRS investigation and consequently President Carpenter ' s disas- sociation of the University and the Golden Tigers Booster club (which is composed of members donating $1,000 or more to the club). Speculations published in Sports Illus- trated magazine included alleged pay- ments to team members, pseudo-jobs created for the players, possible point shavings or game fixings, substandard academic requirements for athletes, the loaning of booster club members ' per- sonal property to players and other acts that violate NCAA standards as we ll as those of the University. Not to be left out was the NAACP. Along with the suggestion that Coach Kirk be fired, the organization also accused the athletic department of ex- ploiting black athletes. According to the NA ACP ' s conversations with many play- ers, the students ' feelings of helpless- ness, hopelessness, and other frus- trations made their stay at MSU miser- able. In the midst of the dark cloud of scandal and accusations is a nationally ranked athletic program struggling to move ahead. Despite the hiring of an ex-FBI agent to investigate the situation, Coach Kirk announced at a press confer- ence that nothing was amiss within the basketball program.

Despite playing some of the toughest collegiate and club rugby teams in the country, the rugby Tigers finished the season at 4-7. The four victories included triumphs over Ole Miss, Arkansas State and Tupelo Rugby Club. The Tigers also competed in the 1985 Memphis in May Rugby tournament, and won the Best Sportsmanship award in the 1984 Tenth annual Dry Gulch Memphis Rugby tour- nament. The team was developed by president Walter Roop, Treasurer Eric Vaughn, and Vice President Monte McCrary. The growth and success of the sport is astound- ing, and MSU Rugby coach Tony Brooks has made the team exceptionally competi- tive, even in its first season of play. Two of the seniors on the team were Walter Roop, post-kicker, and Eric Vaughn, wing-forward. Roop and Vaughn gave the Tigers a potent attack as well as leadership on and off the field. Steve Perry, Hunter Mock and Mike Belmont led the team as proven captains. Tim Driscoll, Scott Pilgrim, Jay Hawkins, Glenn Tucker, Tim Baldridge, Dennis Wright and Jim Richens also had great performances in the 84-85 season and will be back in ' 85 to lead the Tigers to another exciting year. « , By Dawn Johnston The Memphis State University soccer team under the leadership of coach Peter Bermel edged forward for a winning season with 10 wins ' , 9 losses, and 3 ties.

Freshman John Cooke from Ballina, Country Mayo, Ireland took home nine goals and two assists. Pat Fischer, a sophomore from Germantown High. School, has been a leading player for MSU both years on the team. Michael Mueller, a junior at MSU, took home four goals for the season. Paulo Aur, a sophomore transfer, from Mississippi State, took over for his older brother as a midfielder. Freshman Jimmy Holland, a candidate to be one of the Tigers ' top defenders, is as academically sound as he is athletic. A graduate of Germantown High School, his final G.P.A. was a 4.0. Sophomore Scott Hauss was the biggest surprise on the team last year moving from defender to midfielder. Erik (E.J.) Gilley has had two very successful years as goalie for the Tigers.

For the past several years, the Memphis State track team has become well known for its middle and long distance runners, with this year adding to the legend.

Couch is the newest member of the MSU team having been a member of the British National Cross-Country team that competed in the World Champion- ships in Rome in 1982. Besides cross-country competition, the track team .competes both in indoor competitive events and outdoor competi- tive events. Victor Lacey was back this year running the 100, 200 and 400 meters. He is the Metro Conference Champion in the 400 meters, holding the Memphis State record at 45.92. Brothers Billy and Mark Logan provided additional depth to the MSU team in the 400 meters. They were solid runners who along with Topping and Lacey provided a strong group effort in the 1600 meter relay. One of Memphis State ' s top con- tenders for the 1984-85 season was Terry Topping, an all-state hurdler, hold- ing the Tennessee state championship as well as the state record in the 400 meter hurdles. Topping is one of the best prospects signed by the Tigers in several years. Donny Elder also contributed signifi- cantly to MSU ' s participation on the hurdles with his performance on the 110 high hurdles. Doug Lee was Memphis State ' s only contender in the field events, competing in the shot and discus. Lee has captured State AA titles in both events. His 1985 performance for the shot was 46-3 and the discus, 136-6. Other Memphis State track team mem- bers are Chris Horton who was a valuable asset in the 3000 steeple chase with a time of 9:42.6-, Allen Terrell who per- formed exceedingly well in both the 5000 meters and the 10,000 meters, Gary York who ran the 1500 meters in 3:51 and Michael Hudson, a member of the 400 meter relay team. Memphis State has captured numerous Ail-Time records for Outdoor Track spanning a period from 1969 to present. With the potential of this year ' s track team, new records should be forth coming in the future.

By Ann Higginbotham The 1985 men ' s racquetball team continued it ' s impressive record of nine national intercollegiate champion- ship titles. This is the only team at Memphis State to have ever obtained a national title and to consistently remain a powerful dynasty among college athletics. One of the most important aspects of this team is the team ' s spirit of comradeship. During the practices they work together in pairs on each player ' s weak spots while accentuating their strengths. The men ' s team consists of players from all over the United States and even a Canadian student, Rick Komistek. This year there were sever- al additions to the men ' s squad: there are three players from Michigan; Doug Gage, Scott Reid, and Mike Zwerzechowski; other newcomers were Dave Kovack from Pennslyvania, Dave Leon, originally from Memphis, and Brad Jerome from Iowa. Under the watchful eye of Coach Larry Liles, the men ' s squad entered four teams into the National Inter- collegiate Championships that were held at The Racquet Club of Memphis in early April. There were over 44 universities with over 400 players competing for the coveted U.S. Inter- collegiate Title. The men ' s squad was led by the defending men ' s champion and member of the United States National Team, Andy Roberts. They had a combined total of 113 points which put them securely in the first place position with Texas ' A M ' s men ' s team in second with 36 points. This 1985 team is a well rounded and determined group of players. They already epitomize the very word successful and plan to continue their dynasty by capturing the Intercol- legiate title for the tenth consecutive year in 1986.

As captain of the handball team, Shawn exemplifies the team in talent and leadership. Returning juniors include Peter Brown, Timothy Waitehorn and Pat Conway. Peter represents the most experienced of the MSU handball players, having played for nine years. Peter ' s greatest asset is his physical stature, making him the number one player on the team with great poten- tial for repeating his victory in the National Championship next year. The only sophomore player, James Shine, hails from Chicago and shares his dedication to the team with the demands of his work. He has the potential to be an outstanding con- tender and is currently a national intercollegiate finalist. Although new to Memphis State the three freshmen team members have acquired quick recognition with the handball circuits. Paul Novak is an outstanding freshman ball player having attained championships in the National Intercollegiate Division, the Tiger Open and the Mobile Open. Shell Berry is not only a handball player but also a member of the MSU Pep Band. Finally, Larry Silver has joined the handball ranks after a successful rac- quetball career. Larry has been a positive addition to the MSU team with a quickness rarely matched by other handball players. We look for- ward to strength, quickness and pre- cision from the handball courts next year. ;J 4k -7 A Immense concentration is the key to perfecting one ' s racquetball skills.

A Winning Team Inexperience was the rule rather than the exception for the MSU men ' s golf team at the opening of this year ' s season. The Tigers began the season with only three really experienced golfers. Two strong seniors, Bobby Dick and Donnie Cude led the pack under Head Coach Tim Cook ' s leadership. They had been leaders for two years prior to the 1984-85 season. Dick, from Florida, served as captain as a junior and a senior. He finished second in the 1982 Metro Conference Tournament, fifth in the 1983 Murray State Invitational as well as winning the 1981 Valdosta Open, the 1981 and 1983 Piney Woods invitational, the 1983 Tallahassee Open and the 1984 New Year ' s Invitational. Cude also entered the season as a three-year letterman with a stroke average of 73.5. He finished fourth in the 1983 Hillman Robbins, fifth in the 1980 Tennessee State Tourna- ment as well as earlier wins. The third player boasting much experience was Shane Marvelli who had been out most of the 1983 season. A junior from Iowa, Shane started the season as a two-year letterman. His accomplishments in- clude a fifth place tie in the 1982 Hillman Robbins Memorial Tourna- ment and a seventh place tie in the 1982 Murray State Invitational. Other wins included the 1979 Southern Iowa Amateur and sixth place in the 1983 Iowa Masters. Two other golfers returned to the MSU team with letters to their credit. Ray Pearse and Van Montgomery had some degree of experience at the start of the 1984 season, although less than that of Cude, Dick and Marvelli.

The season began in Tallahassee, Florida and ended in Athens, Georgia. Only two members of the team were seniors playing under the direction of Head Coach Lynn Parkes and Assistant Coach Sally Andrews. Of the two seniors, Renee Schafer was the only team member with four years of college play. The best short game player on the team, Renee is noted for her wedge shots and averaged 79.9 for the fall season. She finished in the top twenty at the Lady Tar Heel Tournament in North Carolina with a low round of 75. The other senior, Molly Baney, played her first year of eligibility during the 84-85 season. Two freshmen played in the top five positions exhibiting the potential for a great future on the greens. Laura Hessenauer was Maryland ' s state junior champion as well as a PGA national qualifier before she entered Memphis State to become a Lady Tiger. Another freshman, Christi Parkes, is the younger sister of Head Coach Lynn Parkes. Both Cynthia Giannini and Margaret Shaffer were essential contributes to the Lady Tigers team play.

Although the team consisted of four seniors, they were unable to pool their talent sufficently to beat their opponents. The record of 1-15 is indicative of the formidable contestants they confronted. Head Coach Charlotte Peterson returned for her tenth year. She entered the season with a 129-149 career record and had great hopes that the Lady Tigers could rally together to defeat many of their opponents. The number one position was initially held by senior Sarah Phillips from Memphis, but sophomore Robyn Stern from Pennsylvania and senior Rose Grasso from Canada, finished with the best singles ' win recorded. Phillips, a strong net player, added a lot of strength to the number one doubles team with partner Grasso, the only four- year athlete on the team. Stern, a very consistent player, has shown much improvement since she joined the team. Her strength is at baseline rather than at the net.

The number one position was played by Steven Lang, a transfer from the University of Arkansas. Having attended high school in Memphis, Lang was ranked tenth in the nation as a senior as well as being on the USA junior Davis Cup team. His record in singles play for MSU was 13-10 and in doubles pairing with Bill Conley was 7-6. Strength on the MSU team was also found in Greg Long and Conley. Long started his junior year of eligi- bility this year although he was a senior academically. In singles play he had a 5-8 record and was paired with Peter Lebedevs for an 8-8 record and with John Gallaher for a 2-0 doubles record.

Memphis State University organizations offered something for everyone: making new acquaintances and developing long- lasting friendships. It was just a matter of choice. Each group provided students with shared interests and a chance to serve, socialize, govern, or grow spiritually. Whatever the purpose or philosophy of the group, each student had the sense of belonging. For many students, being involved was a way of life. From organizing public speakers to fund raising for charity, each organization contributed its unique qualities to the campus. It ' s not the long hard hours of study- ing that will be remembered, but the hours spent in preparation for activities that will linger in the student ' s memory. SGA gives each student A chance to be heard Every student is in SGA, said Jim Strickland, president for 1985-86. This statement is very true because even though the Student Government Association has only a few officers, every student on campus can get involved with this group. This student organization is in charge of student policies recommendations. They hold elections every year to elect officers and also to let students vote on changes in Memphis State policies and rules. Leaders of the SGA for the 1984-85 year were Mary Ann Murphy, President; Ann Williams Beth Caron, Vice Pres- ident; Joe Crabtree, Chief Justice; and Jim Strickland, Speaker of the Senate. Officers for the 1985-86 year are Jim Strickland, President; Walter Kallahar, Vice President; Greg Nevins, Chief Justice; and Ray Ricossa, Speaker of the Senate. Their advisor is Dean Clarence O.

It is composed of 32 senators. The only requirement for an officer or a member of SGA is a 2.50 cumulative GPA. Awards are given each year to the best senators, cabinet members and court justices. Elections for officers are held every March and every MSU student can vote. Every year SGA sponsors a Blood Drive for St. Jude and they also partici- pate in Mid-West Model United Nations and the Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature (TISL), a convention of the state ' s college leaders.

It meets four days at the State Capitol as a senate and house of representatives to consider resolutions and bills about con- cerns of Tennessee ' s higher education students.

Black Americans By Melissa Robbins The BSA (Black Student Associa- tion) offers students of different ethnic backgrounds the opportunity to inter- act with each other and dispel rumors and fears, said BSA 1984-85 presi- dent, Jerome Payne. The BSA, which has been at Memphis State since the early 1960 ' s, is designed to promote the rich, dis- tinctive culture of black Americans and to encourage, motivate, and recom- mend black students to participate in the mainstream of the university. The BSA was begun in response to negative pressures from the faculty and administrators here at MSU, said Payne. It now has 750 to 1,000 mem- bers. The BSA sponsors many groups locally and nationally including the United Negro College Fund, the N AACP, the National Urban League, PUSH, and many local churches. They also provide scholarships and awards to black students at MSU such as the Blazer Award Scholarship, the Jewel Award, and the Flame Award. The BSA also sponsored some events this year including their Installa- tion Luncheon in April and also in April the stage production of Ain ' t Misbehavin. The membership requirements for the BSA are few. A student must pay a $2.00 membership fee and he must also attend some of the BSA functions. Jerome Payne says, We welcome any interested individual into our ranks with open arms. t ► The 1984-85 BSA officers (L-R) : Cynthia Jones, President- Elect; Samuel Johnson, Melanie Taylor, Chief-of-Staff; Terrell Johnson, BSA coordinator; Marshall Randolph, Council Chairperson, Keith Joy and seat- ed Jerome C.

ISA sponsors events around campus which included in 1984: a picnic at New Student Orientation in August; Cross-Cultural Discussion in September, October, and November; a Halloween Party in October; and a Christmas Party in December. In 1985 they sponsored a Cross-Cultural Forum Panel Discus- sion in March and International Night in April, an annual event in which students participate in cooking and entertainment.

The fraternities and sororities of MSU provide almost 1,000 students the chance to expand their lives socially, scholastically, spiritually and sensibly. Becoming a part of the Greek system gives a student the comfort and com- panionship of lifelong friends and an eternal bond of brotherhood and sisterhood. Every year Greeks host hundreds of parties, hold numerous campus offices and raise thousands of dollars for charities.

Prospective pledges soon understand the reason for its name, for Rush is conducted in a real rush. A rush of men or women greet the candidates at the door and hurriedly attempt to evaluate them and simultan- eously impress them with his or her organization . Rush is a time to meet hundreds of people, memorize names, symbols, mascots, and decipher Greek letters all while sipping punch and maintaining one ' s composure. It ' s a wonder any candidates live through this to become pledges. But, the trials are worth it. This fall, the fraternities on campus held their first annual Dry Rush in an effort to stress the other aspects of fraternity life. Kevin Garner, Pi Kappa Phi Vice- President in charge of Rush, and his assistant Perry Foy of Kappa Sigma reported a record successful rush with 132 men signing up and 115 men either pledging or associating. Jenny Hurst, Alpha Gamma Delta, and her assistant Renee Camp, Gamma Phi Beta, in charge of Rush and Beth McCloud, Rho Chi chairman, reported fewer women participating than in pre- vious years, but a higher percentage of Rushees pledging than in the past thr ee years. j± Rho Chi Margaret Hackett listens as rushees eagerly discuss their favorite sororities.

Anchor Splash is a serious event in that the money raised goes to a good cause, but it is also a time for the males at Memphis State to exhibit their prowess in the water. Anchor Splash consists of ten events. Six of these require skill in the water, - ■ ■ Chris Gruenwald  t Chris Gruenwald 248 Greeks .«• Weigh Anchor while the other four are added to keep the tension from making Anchor Splash more of a competition than a fun way to raise money. These first six events are the Medley Relay, the 50-m Backstroke, 100-m Freestyle, 50-m Butterfly, 100-m Back- stroke and the 50-m Freestyle. Pike lived up to their name by winning first place in all these events. Their eagerness led the Pikes to a first place overall victory. SAE captured second place and KA third. The serious attitude acquired in the ' A Louis Pagano shows off his winning attributes along with his first place plaque. K first six events was quickly dispelled when Water Ballet began. Three guys from each fraternity were selected to perform in and out of the water. First place again went to Pike whose three representatives arrived in black satin shorts and tuxedo tie collars. SAE had the audience rolling when they arrived in garbage bags sporting punk hairdos. All their efforts paid off with a second place standing. Kappa Sigma then jiggled their way to a third place ribbon as their three female imper- sonators did a few bump and grind moves to the music. The final event was that of Mr. Muscle or the Bathing Beauty. During this event all female eyes were riveted towards center stage where one representative from each fraternity in turn flexed every muscle on his body. Of course, this is an annual favorite for the sororities. In this event there could only be one winner and that was Pi Kappa Alpha, with a considerable help from their most physically fit member, Louis Pagano. Throughout the competition there were two events, Spirit and Mr. Legs. Fraternity cheers were loudly expressed as each one vied to be the champion. Pi Kappa Alpha roared their approval at every event and therefore received first in the Spirit Competition. Closely behind them was Lambda Chi and third place honors were received by Kappa Alpha. The Most Spirited Sorority Award went to Pi Beta Phi for their wonderful attendance. Another favorite of every female was the Mr. Legs Contest. One person from each fraternity was photographed from the waist down showing off a set of supposedly terrific legs. One set of legs sported an anchor, while another set was topped off by a pair of heart dotted boxer shorts. Obviously whatever gimmick the Lambda Chi ' s used worked because they secured the Mr. Legs title. Pike placed second and Kappa Sigma had the third best pair of fraternity legs. Anchor Splash was a big success overall. It was just another way for the Greeks at Memphis State to compete together and against one another in order to have a good time. t £ k Anchor Splash not the same old Song Dance By Lisa Atkins On March the sixth the walls of Memphis State ' s fieldhouse echoed with the sounds of pop and Broadway favorites instead of basketballs. Naturally the culprit was the one and only All-Sing extravaganza peformed every second year at Memphis State. The Women ' s Panhellic Council and the Interfraternity Council ' s 1985 presentation honored the Greatest Hits. The theme was chosen by All-Sing Coordinators Merri Anderson and John Jones in an attempt to recognize individual artists, motion pictures, and Broadway shows. Alpha Gamma Delta stole first in the individual sorority division with their rendition of Elvis Presley favorites. Most of their selections were inspiring, pat- riotic favorites including the show- stopper, Dixie. Alpha Chi Omega, our newest sorority, teamed with Kappa Sigma to win their All-Sing debut with musical numbers from West Side Story including Tonight, America, and the coquettish I Feel Pretty. The winners of the individual frater- nity division were the men of Lambda Chi Alpha receiving the honors from their performance of Simon and Garfunkel hits. The audience wondered whether their singing or their dashing appearance in white tuxedo coats won them the division. Second place in the sorority division was awarded to Alpha Delta Pi for performance of Diana Ross hits. Phi Mu and Sigma Chi captured second place honors in the mixed category for their performance of selections from the Broadway musical Oklahoma. Second place in the fraternity division was awarded to Kappa Alpha for their rendition of the Beatles. The judges commented on the excel- lence of this year ' s show claiming that decisions were tough since all the groups were good. Other competitors included Delta Gamma, Delta Zeta, Pi Beta Phi, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Phi Gamma Delta. Each group was also to make a poster advertising the Greek extravaganza. Points were subtracted from overall scores if this requirement was not met. The posters were judged on content, idea and neatness. Delta Gamma showed their creativity by producing a 3- dimensional poster which captured.first place. Kappa Sigma came in second with cartoon favorites, Frank and Ernest. Third place honors went to Alpha Gam for a colorful jukebox poster. Proceeds from the competition went to benefit the Women ' s Panhellenic and Interfraternity Councils ' Scholarship programs.

No, it wasn ' t a Greek slumber party, but Sigma Phi Epsilon ' s annual pillow fight. The event included the pillow fight, the bed races, a Miss Sleep contest, and a Mr. Legs contest. Each partici- pating sorority entered a team of two women to battle it out for three one- minute rounds. However, most bouts ended after an extra Sudden Death round. Alpha Delta Pi proved victorious in the Fights with Alpha Chi Omega placing second. When women were asked about this year ' s competition one replied It ' s a jungle out there! The bed races were held on Saturday April the sixth starting in front of Rawl ' s Hall. Fraternities built some type of bed in which one team mem- ber rode while four others pushed.

Great Start The purpose of Alpha Chi Omega, Memphis State ' s newest sorority, is to encourage sisterhood, high moral and intellectual development, and to advance the appreciation and practices of allied arts among its members. During the fall of 1885, Alpha Chi Omega was born at Depauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. This year marks Alpha Chi ' s one hundreth birthday. During the fall of 1984, Alpha Chi Omega began colonizing here at Memphis State University. Being a col- ony, Alpha Chi participated in continual rush and boasted 5 1 members by spring. On April 27th, the Theta Kappa Chapter as installed making all initiated women charter members! Alpha Chi ' s colors are scarlet red and olive green with a red carnation as their flower. National symbols include the lyre and the three stars. However, the women of the Theta Kappa added straw- berries and teddybears to the list. Meet- ings are held every Monday evening. This year, Alpha Chi ' s must maintain a minimum GPA of a 2.0. However, after their first year on campus, they plan to raise this requirement for actives. Alpha Chi supports Easter Seals, Cystic Fibrosis, and the MacDowell Colony. Once a week Alpha Chi ' s formally recog- nize each others achievements. The scholarship award goes to the person who studies the most the past week. Alpha Chi pats are given to those women who participated in AXO activi- ties and who accomplished other honors during the week. Although new, Alpha Chi has begun to make a name for herself here at Memphis State. Alpha Chi took most spirited at Sigma Alpha Epsilon ' s Boxer rebellion, 6th place in Derby Week, 3rd place in Derby Doll, 1st place in their debut All Sing performance, and 2nd place in Sigma Alpha Epsilon ' s Pillow Fights. Five Alpha Chi ' s were in both the 3.0 and 3.5 club in the spring. Treasurer, LaSonya Morgan was initiated into the Order of Omega. gJk ▼ Alpha Chi ' s enjoy a swap with Kappa Sig.

Continuing the Heritage Delta Gamma is among the oldest and largest of women ' s fraternities, having more than 102,000 initiated members and 113 chapters across the United States and Canada. They are al§o distinguished in the fact that they were one of the six sororities in the original National Panhellenic Council. Not only are there 64 DG ' s on Memphis State ' s campus but some of the most well known people in America are Dee Gee ' s such as, Donna Mills from Knott ' s Landing and Joan Lunden from Good Morning America. Walter Cronkite and William Faulkner also married Delta Gamma ' s. So when the Delta Zeta chapter decided to colonize here at MSU in 1965, they were just continuing the heritage laid down for Delta Gamma ' s everywhere. Conde Windsor, DG ' s 85-86 President, describes her sorority as one that offers to women of all ages a rich heritage, a continuity based on sound and tested principles of personal integrity, personal responsibility and intellectual honesty. In order to be among the ranks of the bronze, pink and blue a pledge must meet Delta Gamma ' s standards and maintain a 2.25 cumulative average.

Delta Zeta ' s main philanthropic en- deavor is putting on Delta Zeta Follies to raise money for the Greek scholar- ship program. Nationally, they sup- port the Gualledet College for the Speech and Hearing Impaired which is located at Washington State. Each year the chapter recognizes individual members with awards for Highest GPA, Most Improved GPA, Best Active and Best Pledge. These awards help DZ to keep sisterhood strong and also help them meet their chapter goals. This year the chapter has partici- pated in many Greek activities such as Derby Day, FIJI Island, Boxer Rebel- lion, Greek Week and other campus- wide activities.

A 1979 Grammy Award winner and cited by the Tony Awards as the Best Musical in 1978, the title song Ain ' t Misbehavin was written and produced in 1929 by Fats Waller. Fats Waller, born in Greenwich Village in 1904 and raised in Harlem, began his professional career at the famous Lincoln Theatre in Harlem in 1918. In addition to Ain ' t Misbehavin, his famous works include Keep Shufflin and Hot Chocolates. A man of gar- gantuan appetites, Waller ' s overin- dulgence in food, liquor and women are legendary.

The order was founded in an atmosphere of high idealism to preserve the cherished precept of chivalry and honor. Seeking to perpetuate the ideals exemplified in the life of Robert E. Lee, president of the college, these men gave to American youth on that day an organiza- tion that emphasized leadership, honor and bro- therhood. The crimson and gold banner of the order flies over more than 100 chapters at colleges and universities throughout the United States. Kappa Alpha has been a part of the Memphis Greek System since 1948. KA follows the traditional rules by which a rushee must have the vote of the entire chapter to receive a bid. In order to be initiated, the pledge must maintain a 2.0 and complete a pledge education program. In the past few years, Kappa Alpha has distinguished themselves by winning Fraternity of the Year in 1984, All Sing in 1983 and placing second in All Sing in 1985. KA received an award for their famous Old South Ball. Their main activity in March was their Black and White Formal.

In the spring of ' 84 they fulfilled one part of their goal by winning the Peterson Significant Chapter Award and each year they com- plete the other by holding a Derby Day ▼ Sigma Chi ' s gather for a group shot to remember Derby Day ' 84. competition in which all the sororities on campus are invited to participate. In June of 85 they travelled to San Diego, California to participate in their national meeting. Annually they also give service scholarship awards to their own chapter members. Their philanthropic endeavor is to help the children of Wallace Village in Denver, Colorado. They seem to be meeting the goals set by their seven founders who, in 1855, founded the first Sigma Chi chapter at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

Casino Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity was founded in 1901 at Richmond College in Richmond, Virginia. In 1949, Sig Ep joined Memphis State University ' s Fraternity System hoping to enrich the Greek experience through brotherhood, service and the attainment of high ideals. Every Sunday at 3:00 p.m., wear- ing their colors of purple and red or their heart badge, Sigma Phi Epsilon ' s 35 members meet to strive for these goals. According to Matt Beickert, Sigma Phi Epsilon is the heart of the greeks. Even though membership has fluc- tuated over the past four decades, Beikert feels that Sig Ep has always participated and done well. Sigma Phi Epsilon ' s little sister program is called the Golden Hearts. On a regular basis, Sig Ep bestows a Sisterhood Award and a Sigma Phi Epsilon Scholarship.

Sig Ep hopes the Bed Races will be successful in their first year.

In the Pan- Hellenic Greek Show, which was on April 13 of this year, the fraternities and sororities not only sing, but they dance also. They are judged in three categories: Best Step, Best Dressed and Best Overall. In the first two categories there is a male and female title but the third has only one winner The women of Delta Sigma Theta took the Best Dressed Sorority while Alpha Kappa Alpha took Best Step. In the male categories there was a sweeping victory for Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. Not only did they take Best Step and Best Dressed but they overwhelmed the judges and won Best Overall also. It ' s no surprise though. For the past five years Phi Beta Sigma has been the winner of this Greek show. This year they also took this Steppin ' Show to Arkansas to participate in the worldwide Greek Show at the University of Central Arkansas.

Greeks and inde- pendents alike crowded into the small eatery on Highland to watch the event that would make history come to life. Who would do it? Would it be the team from Pi Kappa Alpha or maybe the Kappa Sig team would prove victorious. The small area provided for the contestants was piled high with the object of each man ' s conquest. No, it wasn ' t a lovely lady they were about to devour, but a stack of the famous Varsity Inn hamburgers. Each man eyed his pile while rampant through his mind ran strategies of how to come out victorious. The connoisseurs chose their plan of attack well. Some chose to devour the burgers whole, while others stuffed the meat into their mouths while placing the buns into nearby glasses of water, thereby making them take up less of the precious space reserved only for this night ' s feast. The crowd chanted fraternity names and pleas of don ' t drink the water! as they egged their favorite on to the inevitable end. But there could only be one winner and that was the illustrious Lambda Chi Alpha team. For their hearty appetites they received a keg of beer. There was a tie for second place between Kappa Sigma and Pi Kappa Alpha. Each of these teams received a case of beer. Proceeds of approxi- mately $500 went to benefit Muscular Dystrophy. jfe.

An annual happening, it began in 1932 at the Sigma Chi Chapter at the Uni- versity of California. Derby Day is the climax of a week of events called Derby Week. During this week the women of all eight MSU sororities run helter-skelter after Sigma Chi ' s in derbies. Points are awarded for each derby captured. There are eight categories from which one can score points. These are Derby Snatch, Golden Derby, Field Games, Scavenger Hunt, Spirit, Dress-a-Pledge, Derby Doll and Miss Shape. These events occur over a week ' s time, and in this time period the fun and games never cease. This year Phi Mu captured the first place trophy.

By Tona Jackson Greeks Editor april 11-18 was a fierce time of competition for all the greeks on MSU ' s campus. It was a time when loyalty to one ' s own fraternity or sorority overruled even lifelong friend- ships. The people who participated in this activity-filled week will long remem- ber the work they put into it and the awards they received. Throughout the week many greek gods and goddesses could be seen wandering aimlessly around campus with buckets outstretched. The proceeds they collected went to this year ' s chosen philanthropy, United Cerebral Palsy. There was also a wheel of fortune game and a biggest nerd contest. The winners of all these events and more were announced at the annual Greek Awards Banquet. For greeks this was the highlight of a wonder- ful year. For some the night was filled with the realization of a dream come true, while others resolved to do better next year, but for all it was a night not soon forgotten. The greek god was KA ' s Bill Richardson, while DZ ' s Kathy Mont- gomery held the goddess title. Lambda Chi won Wheel of Fortune with Alpha Gam running a close second. The biggest nerds were ranked first through fourth respectively as Mark Abington, Lambda Chi; Beth Reeves, Dee Gee; Chuck Dean, SAE and Kim Smith, Dee Gee.

One of the highest honors presented were the Order of Omega President ' s Awards to DG ' s Jennifer Nunley and Lambda Chi ' s Danny Bousson. Even with all the meaningful indi- vidual awards presented, the ones that will be most remembered were the ones worked for as a group, those of Fraternity and Sorority of the Year.

They came from many cities, many states and many countries to learn new ideas and share some of their own. Some people will become leaders; others will become legends. People didn ' t have to be a big name to be noticed at Memphis State. The classroom recognized many outstand- ing people: perhaps for the only A or the best paper written. Each achieve- ment, regardless of area, at one time made each person come first. It was their goals and ambitions that bound them together. As individuals they were unique.

Mrs. Johnson is the Resident Advisor of the PanHellenic building here at Memphis State. She makes sure everything in the building runs o.k., and checks up on dinners and the other social functions that are held in the building to be sure everything that is needed is provided. Mrs. Johnson moved to Memphis from Humble, Texas and has been the R.A. for a year and a half. She really enjoys her job, and loves being with the girls. One of the fringe benefits of her job, she says, is to get to go to the banquets that are held in the PanHellenic building. She loves Memphis, and says she likes to get a road map and just take off sometimes! Mrs. Johnson plans to be here at Memphis State a long time. I ' ll be here until the Lord moves me! , she said. Well, we hope He doesn ' t move you anytime soon.

Ehe 1985 Desoto, now packed and almost ready for the printer, will eventually become the hot- test item in bookstores all over the Mid-South. As the remaining staff members mail the last pages and barricade the office door in preparation for the onslaught of students fighting to get a copy of the book, an entire year of memories, fights and laughter creeps into our minds. Louisville, New York City, Pony Express Couriers, topless bars in the index, dragging a huge, black box across campus, wallowing in the mud, pleading with Photo Services for pictures and turning the office upside-down looking for that one misplaced Burger Bust picture filter through as memories of the past two semesters. The bound pages of the yearbook capture only a small part of what was shared to produce this book. We can only hope that its readers enjoy it half as much as the staff will. Naturally there will be a few points that people will be unhappy with and criticize, but for a staff that numbered from three to 21 members throughout the year, I say accomplished an unthinkable task. Thanks, staff, for the 1985 Desoto and all the fun we shared working on it together. Jk T Unbeknownst to the staff of the DeSoto, Organizations Editor Melissa Robbins is actually the multi-talented star of an off- Broadway show; Melissa is famous as GiGi in the smash musical Chicken Man. ▼ The Dirty Half-Dozen made its debut at the SAB Mudball game, taking a sweeping victory over absolutely no one. The team is scheduled for an exhibition match with the Chinese Ladies ' Olympic Team. Although editor Steve Norman ' s performance was outstanding; the lack of co-ordination of the rest of the staff was too much for anyone to cover. ▼ Lisa Atkins and Mike Faulk are two of the more trustworthy staff members. Cedti ' ■tfoo 00 • Tona Jackson ' s happy face shows her. feelings about walking from Central Park in New York. ► From the territorial domain of Aggieland comes Sandy Utt, ready to advise the DeSoto through thick and thin. Volume 73 of Memphis State University ' s Desoto was lithographed by Josten ' s American Yearbook Company of Clarksville, Tenn. Mike King and John Cole were the company ' s representatives. The Desoto submitted camera-ready layouts permitting the staff to utilize many typographic and graphic effects. Headline type styles are as follows: theme headline, Diplomat Bold by Formatt; kicker tilts, Santa he by Letraset; and the main headlines throughout the book, Avant Garde Demi Bold. Copy is set 11 12 Garamond Medium. Cutlines are 10 11 Garamond Bold. All rule lines were laid down by students using border tape. Lines close register to photos and to tint blocks are 1 pt. Tooling lines throughout the book are also 1 pt. Screened backgrounds were handled by Josten ' s technicians. All tints are either 10, 30 or 60 percent black or a process color with the exception of the divider pages and the endsheets, which utilize 100 percent Navy blue. Paper stock is 80 pound gloss. Endsheet stock is 65 pound cover weight stock (Stainless S 289) with Navy blue ink applied. The cover material is Craftline Embossed (blue shadow 493) on a 150 point binder ' s board with a design stamped from a molded die. On a whirlpool grain, the die was hot foiled with silver foil (381). The embossed artwork was sketched by associated editor Pat Rael. All four-color separations were handmade from slide transparencies submitted by the staff. All underclass and senior portraits were shot by Sudlow Studios of Danville, 111. and Memphis State University ' s photo services. Spot color ink was selected from the Tempo Color Guide Book. Process spot colors p-600 (yellow), p-700 (blue) and p-800 (red) are used behind the 4-color photographs. Tempo 540 (Navy) is used on all divisions pages. The DeSoto is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association, the Associated Collegiate Press and the American Scholastic Press Association. Collegiate Concepts of Atlanta, Ga. handled all advertisements. Employing a magazine format, the DeSoto had a press run of 1,000 copies. The yearbook editor visited the plant in Clarksville, TN. to watch the color and black and white press runs.

The winter months blew in with the usual chilling temperatures. Though too late for Christmas, Jack Frost dumped Memphis ' fair share of snow on the city. The beginning of 1985 brought Memphis to a virtual standstill with over a foot of snow on the ground and two days of cancelled classes at Memphis State. Spring brought relief to a campus restless with cabin fever. Parties and picnics at the river were a familiar sight in the warm weather. MSU students seemed to enjoy the city as much as Memphis enjoys being home to such a university as Memphis State. Jk. ■■■■_ ■ _,;. , . ...
