Take A Closer Look md ■ «ftfp- ■1 Of s fcSSP N s Take a Closer Look It ' s everywhere — the har- mony of young people and new ideas playing against a back- ground of strong tradition. Gen- erations of college students have played and studied beside Eckie ' s Pond; moreover, young adults daily pass by the 1932 Miss. State College sign at the entrance to the campus. They pass by proudly, knowing that their Mississippi State Uni- versity, with an enrollment of 11,500, is the largest university in the state. 4 Opening MSU — home of the Bull- dogs, the Left Field Lounge, fine wines, and Edam cheese. Bulldog supporters take pride in their university ' s dairy prod- ucts produced in part by stu- dents — ice cream, milk, cheeses — and take special pride in the Edam cheese, sold only at Christmas and Easter to those who order many months in advance.

No one can be happy with no social life at beneati all. Many similar reasons are offered for the meetin popularity of beer joints, bars and private |£® r parties — partying serves as a release, a freqw change of pace, and it ' s a way to make new f n b p riV a friends and socialize with old buddies. is iiiec True enough, the commode huggers will a [ tell you.

The entire glory and reputation of the ool is borne on the shoulders of a small up of maroon-clad warriors fighting their ep rallies must be held, tickets must be purchased, transportation to the game site must be arranged, and a parking place must be found before one can see the game, though. I waited in line almost three hours to get my tickets during ticket week, sighed one coed. One Sigma Chi man arrives at the stadium an hour early to get a good park- ing place and a good seat. Post-game partying is a tradition adhered to whether the game is lost or won. What dif- ference does it make if we lose? Almost none, the tried-and-true football fans will answer. We ' ll win next time. In the mean- time — cheers! left: Most MSU women who attended the home games were intensely interested in what hap- pened on the football field, despite the popular myth that women are more interested in their dates than football, below: MSU cowbells are usually decorated to the taste of their owners. A bicycling fan is probably the proud owner of this cowbell. I ley, peas, beans, squash! A M cow-pullers! Yes, by gosh! This cheer, cited by Dr. John Bettersworth in his book, People ' s Col- lege, was Mississippi A M ' s answer to taunts of cow college at ath- letic events in the 19th century. Since then, the cowbell has become MSU ' s symbol of fierce pride in her agricultural heritage. But in March 1975 the Southeastern Conference voted to ban artifi- cial noisemakers — including cowbells — from all games played between SEC teams. This action was triggered by Auburn ' s Coach Ralph (Shug) Jordan, who claimed his players could not hear the quar- terback ' s signals over the clanging of MSU ' s bells. The storm of protests by MSU fans was overwhelming. Senator John Paul Moore of Starkville even introduced a bill to the Mississippi legisla- ture making it illegal to prohibit artificial noisemakers at any sports event in Mississippi despite any silly rules to the contrary. Moore ' s bill won unanimous approval in the Senate, but died in a subcommittee in the House after being called the most ridiculous piece of legislation . . . before the house in eight years. The Bulldog fans remained undaunted however — the SA launched a drive to find a substitute for the cowbell. The Bookstore ' s 96 remaining bells were taken off the shelves, welded, polished, plated with gold, put under glass domes, and sold as collector ' s items. But the greatest evi- dence that the cowbell ban didn ' t dampen MSU ' s spirit can be seen at football games. SEC game or not, cowbells clang as loudly as ever on the Bulldog side of the stadium. Football Weekends 1 9 tt B Eating Out: Part of the fun, and expense, of college life ut the building ' s so beautiful, protested Stephen Essig, architecture student, as he munched on a dry corn muffin in MSU ' s cafeteria. Just appreciate the aesthetics of the room and you can almost forget what you ' re eating. The cafeteria and the Union and Bulldog grills have been the butt of many student jokes. But more students were served by MSU Food Services in fall 1978 then ever before, according to James Levine, director of MSU Food Services. Our goal is to serve more people faster at lower prices, said Levine. Students are our first priority and our larger goal is to serve anyone who wants to eat. A small variety of restaurants is situated near cam- pus, however, for those who cannot recognize the caf- eteria ' s new menu additions, such as veal parmesan and real Italian lasagna. In Starkville, Oby ' s offers a taste of New Orleans, the House of Kong caters to stu- dents who enjoy Chinese cuisine, and Jack Straw Cafe, reminiscent of Greenwich Village, frequently features aspiring guitarists and displays student artwork. The Possum Town Depot in Columbus, fashioned from a deserted train station, is renowned for its gourmet sea- food and oyster bar. For those with little time and money to spend, ham- burger and pizza joints are the best bet. Burger Chef is my mainstay at the end of the month, said a Cresswell freshman. I can buy a 52e hamburger and triple its size at the Works Bar. One trailer park resident vows that Pizza Hut keeps him alive through weekends. I start partying about 5:00 Friday evening, and by mid- night I ' m awfully glad to see the pizza delivery car pull- ing up. When all else fails, even dorm students usually have all-purpose popcorn poppers smuggled away with a can of soup. And there ' s always the Union Grill. Or the cafeteria — it really is a beautiful building. above: Bill Evans and Jewel Graves place an order at Oby ' s, a fast order sandwich shop which offers some- thing different from the everyday hamburger, right: Steve Prussia and Beth Krebs enjoy dinner at the cafe- teria.

Jreat Friday Exodus W Ww anna go out to lunch? one MSU ;retary asked another on the phone one Friday rning. Are you crazy, on Friday? the second one lied. Every student on campus goes home Friday. By the time we make it off campus, our ch hour will be over! 1SU, according to some students, is becoming suitcase college. In other words, too many m residents are considering home to be their m residence and they live out of their suit- es during the week in the dorm. Not so, oth- argue; the traffic ' s worse on Fridays this year because MSU ' s enrollment has increased, not because a larger percentage of students go home. Special alliances often develop between stu- dents who habitually stay on campus during weekends. My best friend in the whole dorm is a girl I never met until one weekend when we met in the elevator, said a Cresswell freshman. On the other hand, students who ride home together on Fridays also become fast friends. I know of a couple whose families were always ' feuding ' in Indianola, said one Hightower resident. He laughed, anticipating. There ' s going to be some very loud fireworks sounding off in between their wedding bell chimes! Students go home on weekends for different reasons. Some general agriculture majors go home to their fathers ' farm on weekends; many students go home because they have weekend jobs. Others go home to get a decent meal, to see their boyfriend or girlfriend, or to participate in special family or hometown events. And some do go home every weekend to see their parents. I am very impressed, said Margaret Estes, vice-president of academic affairs, by the close relationships between Mississippi State students and their parents. Impressing, yes. So is the number of cars leaving campus during lunch hour on Friday. left: Connie Smith of Starkville goes home on week- ends long enough to wash and dry her clothes for the next week, below: This Hightower resident adds a jacket and a dirty sneaker to the homeward-bound col- lection of goods on the back seat of his car.

The egg toss was one of the events partic- ipated in by MSU ' s nine sororities and two MUW social clubs during the twenty-first annual Sigma Chi Derby Day competition. The sororities raised $30,844 for the Chil- dren ' s Cancer Fund, the LeBonheur Chil- dren ' s Hospital in Memphis, and the leuke- mia-stricken child of Louis Grubbs, an ex- football player from MSU. Skin the snake, Tug 0 ' War, an (dressing up the Sigma Chi coach assigne to each sorority), were three of the event; During the President ' s Mystery Event, each sorority president searched for per nies in a flour-filled swimming pool, and i the Dress the Pledge competition Sigrri Chi pledges dressed as Tweety Bird, Supe man, Pop-eye.

Barry and Cheryl enjoy being near other stu- dent families and like the Village ' s on-campus location; other stu- dents, however, complain that the apartments are boring, have roaches, and don ' t allow residents to keep pets. University Village has a waiting list of students who want to move in, however. The apart- ments are popular because rental rates are low and the Village has its own laundromat and nursery. I was the basic C student, said Barry Dent, business management major, until I married Cheryl and we had our son, Jay. I ' ve become serious about my school work since then — I ' ve got more responsibility and fewer distractions now. Barry, 24, Cheryl, 27, and Jay, 2, are one of many student families living at MSU ' s University Village. The Dents echo an opin- ion held by most of the married students interviewed; the popular myth that it ' s hard on a marriage for one partner to go to college just isn ' t true. Sure you have to make adjustments, said Cheryl, but you ' ll have to do that any- way unless you want to live alone — and who wants to do that? Cheryl definitely does not resent working while Barry ' s going to class — in fact she found it boring to stay home, so she found a part-time job at an Episcopalian church which gets her out of the house. Besides, she says, Barry works, too — 15 hours a week at Suttle Dormitory ' s weightlifting room. Barry who loves having a family to come home to, says the only disadvan- tage of fatherhood is that he can ' t study while Jay is awake. Again it ' s a matter of adjustment — I study at work and from about 9:00 to whenever I get through — which is sometimes in the wee hours, he said. But that ' s not hard on me — I ' ve always been a night person. Both Barry and Cheryl, however, realize that marriage isn ' t for every student. Cheryl warns that Marriage is a big step — you have to learn to accept small things you dislike about your partner, otherwise they get bigger. Barry agreed, adding that having children especially calls for a high degree of flexibility — you have to work your schedule around theirs. Another resident of University Village temporarily stopped her education when her son was born. You have to change your entire outlook — you have to forget everything you ever thought about getting out of college as fast as you can, she said. More and more I ' m hearing about women who go back to college after their children are raised — and becoming very successful. That ' s my plan — right now I don ' t want to do anything but care for my son. Some married students, though, wouldn ' t recommend getting married if it could be delayed. My wife has had to make a lot of allowances since I came back to get my master ' s degree — now she works, does all the housework, and com- plains that she never gets to see me any- more since I ' m always studying. He sighed. All I can tell her is that she ' ll be glad someday — and I ' m determined that she will be. She ' s done a fine job of adjust- ing. Making adjustments, at least in the Dents ' case, paid off handsomely. We wouldn ' t trade family life for anything, said Barry. Everything ' s better if you have someone to share it with, added Cheryl. Being with my family on Christmas Day makes up for anything I may have had to give up in the past. left: Jay rides his rocking horse in his bedroom. The fact that many small children live at University Vil- lage with their parents is evidenced by the many toys that crowd the yards in front of the apartments. below: Cheryl feeds Jay cereal for breakfast before taking him to the nursery operated by University Vil- lage on her way to work. Cheryl feels lucky to have found a part- time job that allows her to leave the apartment each day, yet gives her time to finish housekeeping duties. Jay, she said, enjoys playing with the children at the nursery. T. Lillard left: Barry studies at work and at home after Jay falls asleep. I ' d rather spend time with my family than study in the evening, he said. It ' s important for Jay to spend time with me — it would be awful to tell a child every night to be quiet so daddy can study.

The Pros and Cons of Off-Campus Living I ■ could never live in the dorm again, said Joe Sanders, resident of Longview Street in Starkville. I would open up my closet there where all my clothes were and at the same time see my kitchen (pop-tarts and a popcorn popper) on the same shelf with my bathroom (towels, soap and shampoo). And I had to share that tiny room with another person. Debra Simpson, a junior pre-med student, said she moved off campus because she loves being independent. Debra moved into an old recon- verted beauty shop on University Drive, and she and her roommate painted and scraped wallpa- per and cleaned till our arms nearly fell off, she laughed. Off campus dwellers cite many different rea- sons for living in town — I love to cook and you can ' t do that in the dorm, I need QUIET to study, I couldn ' t part with Rover. But apart- ment dwellers will be the first to tell you that apartment living is not all romance and roses. II B Holland in ■ v ' H J For one thing, the responsibilities that •me with being on your own can be ne-consuming and aren ' t much fun. ashing clothes seems to be the most ted chore, followed by dishwashing and jpping floors. And some students return to campus after ie year of living in town to avoid the park- 3 problems that most day students wrestle m. When Carol Peterson lived on Highway she knew she ' d be in class on time only if she backed out of her driveway at one par- ticular moment. Otherwise the traffic lights would be red, she sighed, and I ' d be late every time. Biking and walking to class have become increasingly popular means of transporta- tion for day students. Self-propelled stu- dents don ' t have to sit in class and wonder how many tickets will be on their car when they are ready to go home. left: This yellow MGB remained parked illegally beside a dumpster long enough to accumulate four parking tickets. Off-campus stu- dents who depend upon cars for transportation must arrive at cam- pus half an hour early to find a park- ing space in time to attend class. below: Some students move inten- tionally into apartments that allow them to keep pets. Animal owners can collect quite an array of pet articles. This girl stores dog bis- cuits, cat food, and kitty litter together in her kitchen. Off Campus 29 How to Spot a Freshman he stepped out of Cresswell, the freshman dorm, with an air of confidence, smartly dressed in a navy blue skirt, white blouse, and high-heeled shoes. Her arms were completely filled — three textbooks, four notebooks, pens, pencils, and a dictionary. She was fully prepared for her first day of college. By the time she ' d walked through Allen Hall, though, her assurance wavered a little — was it the left building or the right one? The books were getting awfully heavy, and the new shoes were pinching her toes together. Almost immediately a tall young man was at he elbow, taking her books from her and smiling a warr greeting. Where ya going? he asked. I ' m Joe. Well, she said hesitantly. She couldn ' t afford t( appear stupid; this was a college boy, probably t older man, and he wasn ' t bad looking at that, sht decided. Carpenter Engineering, she told him brightly. Going my way? As they walked off, the boy signaled a ictory sign to his less fortunate friend still waiting on ie sidewalk for the next unsuspecting freshman girl. How did the boy know she was a freshman? Freshmen are easy to spot, according to many pperclassmen. They drive the wrong direction on one- ray streets, are always anxious to meet people, get verly exuberant about whatever the professor ' s talk- lg about, and wear Beach Boy T-shirts. They ' re for- ver trying to order alcoholic beverages at bars and are asily crushed — not having a date to the homecoming ame can be a major disaster. They walk into the library ) look for a book and leave empty-handed, never real- :ing that there are books upstairs and downstairs, hey ' re notorious for changing their majors five times ach semester and don ' t even know to make sure lere ' s not sugar in the cafeteria ' s salt shakers. On the other hand, according to Dr. Jack Davis, head f the economics department, Freshmen are marvel- us — you can spot them even though they don ' t have shaved heads anymore because of their sense of won- der at the world. He snorted at the thought of upper- classmen. Sophomores are always half-drunk, he said. Juniors have a harried look — they ' re getting into their harder courses, and seniors — hah! — they ' re ridiculously dignified and serious. How can stu- dents change so much in four years? Maybe they don ' t. Soon after Joe walked his catch to class, his friend Tom spotted another likely prospect loaded with books heading for the center of campus. Here, let me help you, he said, trying to take some of her books. Well, okay, she said, surprised. My name ' s Tom, he said. Say, how ' d you like to go to the game next weekend? Oh, I ' ll be there, she answered. They had arrived at George Hall. Here ' s where I ' m going. But there are no classes here, he protested. This is George Hall — there ' s only professors ' offices here. I know, she said sweetly.

I got phone calls from rushees at 3:30 in the morning, coped with rush- ees ' headaches, footaches, and torn hose, and helped schedule activities for over 400 girls. She paused. I ' d do it all over again, too — it was lots of fun. Rush activities are planned in great detail: Women have only five minutes between parties, and are not allowed to speak to sorority alumni. Before men even go to any parties they immedi- ately choose ten fraternities they wish to be rushed by. Some rushees are cut by all of the organizations that they bid on. That ' s hard to take, said McDill, but there are hundreds of other organizations on campus to get involved in. Those rushees who are pledged by one of the sororities or fraternities, however, meet many people and begin forming life-long friendships. It ' s worth all of the frantic hustling and occa- sional hurt feelings to see everyone so happy on Bid Day, said McDill. above: Zeta Tau Alpha members chose to por- tray characters from the musical Grease dur- ing a coke party held for rushees. ZTA pledged 42 girls, a quota arrived at by dividing the total number of rushees who accepted invitations to theme parties by nine, the number of MSU soror- ities participating in formal Rush. Gals are Cindy Buttross, Kim Mosley, Misty Keyes, Susan Keys and Joyce Simmons. Guys are Melinda Kerr, Joy Tate, Evelyn Magee and Karen Dugard. left: Kappa Kappa Gamma members perform a skit called Kappa Garden during their coke party.

Monday Morning Blues, Thank God It ' s Friday right: The sound of the 7 o ' clock alarm Monday mornings is not a welcomed one by students such as agronomy major Jim Mitchell, who suffers from Monday Morning Blues below and bottom: Univer- sity campuses are not the most delightful places on Monday morn- ings Classes seem twice as long as usual and even Barney the faithful St Bernard that guards the entrance to the library catches the Blues.

It was seven o ' clock in le morning, she ' d gotten in from Hickory, lississippi about nine o ' clock the previous vening, Mr. Owens was giving her account- ig class a test in one hour, and worst of all, was Monday. Mondays really do get me down, she aid. I ' m always tired from the weekend, I ever unpack Sunday nights so I can ' t find nything, and usually end up getting to class ite. The Monday Morning Blues — they ' ve een talked about, sung about and cursed ver since the five day work week was tvented. As Myrtle Jones, junior account- lg major says, Monday mornings are like le first paragraph of a term paper — the rst part of it is the hardest. Everything goes lowly on Monday, picks up speed by Wed- esday, then zooms into Friday. Friday — that ' s the magic word accord- lg to Etta Mae Murphree, secretary of the conomics department. I ' m always looking srward to Friday — why not? I don ' t have to o anything until (her face fell a little) Mon- ay morning. Did you ever notice how almost no one resses up on Friday? asked Steve Koop- lan, a junior pre-vet student. That ' s ecause everyone lets their hair down and slaxes on Friday. At last you have a little me to do exactly what you want. One student said he refused to meet his lasses on Friday unless he had an exam; a secretary confided that she never goes home early except on Friday; a professor in the business school schedules his Monday- Wednesday-Friday classes to meet for long periods on Monday and Wednesday so that he won ' t have to teach on Friday; library employees look curiously at anyone who walks in on Friday afternoon. Everyone ' s in a great mood during my last class on Friday, said Sheree Anton, chemistry major. It ' s their last class too. It ' s funny how often you head straight for the Roads when the bell rings, and discover that half the class had that very same idea. The proprietors of beer joints, restau- rants, and liquor stores may be happiest of all when Friday arrives. Maybe so, said one communications major. I wish some- one would reopen Monday ' s (a bar that burned to the ground several years ago). But for heaven ' s sake, I hope they change the name! below: Traffic congestion seems to be an ever-present problem, but the problem is compounded when Fri- day rolls along.

' lor most students there ' s a direct rela- tionship between the amount of time spent studying and the grades received; unhappily for some, there ' s also a direct relationship between the grades received and Papa ' s facial and verbal expressions when he sees them. It seems simple enough — studying means Good Grades and Happy Papas — but there are as many styles of studying at MSU as there are students. Or at least, there are as many styles of studying as there are students who study. Dormitory roommates, for example, fre- quen tly disagree about studying. Turn off the stereo! one will shout. How am I sup- posed to concentrate when it ' s so quiet! the other will answer. People meet and ever fall in love while studying at the samtii library table. Some study when the late mov ie ' s over; others rise with the sun and stud before their first class begins. Very few pupils ever discover that readinc over class notes every day virtually elimi nates the last minute cram. I never gc: into a classroom when everyone in there i$ . stuffing his brain before a test, said onsf engineering major. Invariably someone asks wildly what so-and-so is and everyone including me, panics! Most students have a favorite place tc study.

Reflector Ignites Campus in Controversy I he Reflector staff survived both a fire which damaged nine type fonts valued at $90 each and a recall election for Editor Joe Dillon in January 1980. The fire reportedly began when a piece of paper left near the photograph drying unit caught fire, filling all three floors of the Union with black smoke. Marty Thrasher, a Union custodian, put out the blaze before the Starkville fire engine arrived. Students voted 831-468 to keep Dillon as Reflector editor January 31 in an election that made a mockery of the Student Asso- ciation according to an editorial written by Steve Grafton. Dillon came under fire from the SA Senate after a series of controversial editorials, including one insisting that Ira- nian students be immediately deported. T SA Senate passed a resolution, introduo by Carol Herlihy, calling for the recall elet tion that gave students a chance to remo? Dillon from office. Dillon was not to be outdone, howev and defended his point of view, both in til Reflector and on WMSB, that the Sene: was merely upset because their meeting were not being covered in the paper, h successfully postponed the election for t days by filing two appeals to the resoluti that were later rejected.

There is enough diversity for every stu- dent to get involved and find something he truly enjoys. The freshman dormitories gen- erally hold quite a few more activities than the upperclassmen dorms. These activities are designed primarily to help the freshmen get to know each other. Activities such as discos, movies, cookouts, skating parties, birthday parties, card playing and backgam- mon tournaments, foosball and pool tourna- ments, and even exercise classes all help students begin to get involved on campus. left: Residence Halls are no longer simply places in which to live.

Greeks Participate in Holiday Songfestl I he MSU sororities and fraternities were particularly innovative in the 1979-80 school year, both in their social and fund-raising activities. For example, a musical Greek honorary was added to the program at the annual Greek All-Sing held before Christmas. One needn ' t belong to a social fraternity or sorority to belong to the musical Greek hon- orary, explained Cynthia Sidney, the newly-elected Panhellenic president. Each group sings one Greek song and one Christ- mas song, and everyone sings together at the end of the event. This year ' s large group award winners were Delta Gamma and Sigma Chi, and small group winners were Triangle and Zeta Tau Alpha. The Interfraternity Council plans to have a Golf Tournament to raise money for multiple sclerosis in spring 1980, which would be a fun way to raise money for serious i research, according to IFC ' s secretary, John Dye. Likewise, all sororities and the i Sigma Chi fraternity chapter are raising as i much money as possible to earn points at i the spring 1980 Sigma Chi Derby Day; thei Children ' s Cancer Fund again will be thei recipient of the funds. This year ' s Derby | Day theme is Disneyland characters, said: Cynthia Sidney. It ' s almost as much fun to: dress the Sigma Chi pledges as it is to givei the money toa worthy cause. Both the IFC and Panhellenic gave schol- arship awards to the fraternities and sorori- ties with the highest grade point averages, i Each individual fraternity and sorority also; the 79-80 school year.

With a $10,000 loan from the Housing Office and money collected from refrigerator rental and milk and coke machines, the Student Activities Building was renovated into a new office for IRHC and a multi-use area for students. We scrubbed, scraped, sealed and painted walls, built furniture, installed a kitchen, put down carpet, and got an air conditioner, said Gary Dearing, IRHC Pres ident, and we ' re still not finished.

As the semester progresses, however, each hall develops its own personality, friendships gel and many are declaring, I wouldn ' t want to live anywhere else. Wanda Miles of Butler, for example, could live with her parents in Starkville — but she likes everything about Butler, down to the color of her room. They could put in a sandwich machine, though, she added. The motto, It ' s Better in Butler possibly stems from this hall ' s many programs, like seminars on nonverbal communication depression and loneliness, nutrition, studj skills, and making it with a roommate. Cresswell, the dormitory that most fresr man girls want to live in, participated in te panty raids in the first month of the schoc year. I love being away from Mama, actin crazy, and meeting people, said Cresswe; resident Lisa Hamlin, a communication major from West Point.

But being a member of a sorority will enrich your life if you let it. Greeks help the university by attracting students that otherwise might not come here. And it helps some people to have an organization to join when they ' re in a new place. ' ' The Panhellenic Council consists of Gwen and a voting delegate and a representative from each sorority. Panhellenic gives its members an opportunity to meet girls from other sororities, and therefore draws all sororities closer together, said Gwen. Junior Panhellic, an organization that promotes friendliness and spirit among sorority pledges, did an excellent job of working for kidney foundations, according to Gwen. They ' re really enthusiastic, she said. Panhellenic sponsored the Greek Eat fc sororities, planned the Greek All-Sing with th Interfraternity Council, held sorority rush an participated in High School-Junior College Dc among other things. It ' s been a busy year, Gwen. Each sorority, Gwen pointed out, has adopte a national philanthropy to contribute to. The bur center in Greenville, the March of Dimes, Eastr Seals, and organizations founded to fight cystil fibrosis and muscular dystrophy have ai received contributions raised by goods in MSU sororities. One of the purposes of having a] inter-sorority group like Panhellenic, sai Gwen, is to encourage each sorority to accon plish its goals by showing them that nothing impossible.

As a special education major, Gwen finds that she has unlimited patience with handicapped children, but says, I am terribly impatient with grown-ups, and often quite tactless. Likewise, she loves kids, but may not want any of her own. In fact, getting married is the last item in her list of goals. First I want to get a dog, then a Mas- ter ' s degree, then a house, and then a husband, she said. By the way, I go out with at least as many independent men as fraternity guys. Gwen has rafted down the Snake River, clim- bed mountains, visited Niagara Falls and toured New York.

He is on speak- ing terms with every student and staff member. He is a well-spring of ideas . . . and promptly came up with a centennial ' must ' — the launching of a campaign for fu ds to build a Creative Arts Complex to house a fast-growing fine arts pro- gram. He speaks of further- ing progress at Mississippi State from the usual to the extraordinary. Person-to-person commu- nication, said McComas, is the keynote to good admin- istration. He dislikes long memos, preferring instead to stick his head in the door of whoever he needs to see. He spent two months this year visiting every department on campus, learned the names of half of the 800-member faculty, enjoyed attending various alumni functions seven nights a week, and met weekly with SA President Steve Grafton and Reflector editor Joe Dillon. But the best part of my job, said McComas, is that I have more contact with students than I had as a dean at the University of Tennessee. McComas met at least one hundred stu- lt is a real pleasure to be part of the president ' s office and to work with people who are professional, pleasant, and always interested in attaining the very best for Missis- sippi State University. No one exemplifies this standard more than its president, Dr. James D. McComas. — Carol Combs President McComas ' Secretary dents last year by writing them letters asking them to visit him! Students are the lifeline of any university, McComas continued. Mis- sissippi ' s leaders will come from today ' s colleges. It ' s part of my job to know stu- dents, know what they ' re thinking and doing and feel- ing. The Architecture of Academics t . • I This is the first university I ' ve worked at where students don ' t play ' the eye avoidance game ' when walking across campus. — President James McComas. M.. Mississippi State University is small enough for people to get to know each other, and still big enough to do fine, noteworthy things, according to McComas. This is the first university I ' ve worked at where students don ' t play ' the eye avoidance game ' when walking across campus, he said. Students here will take the initiative in meeting people older then themselves — I ' ve often had students come up and introduce themselves to me. I hope our students will keep this self- confidence, enjoy their time at college, and keep the same commitment to the university our alumni have now. He smiled. I believe most students here are happy, judging from the expres- sions on their faces. I passed one boy in the past office once and asked how he was doing. He said he was ' making it ' — that surprised me because 1 usu- ally get enthusiastic responses. Among other things, McComas has established the President ' s Commis- sion on the Status of Women, an organization he praised for giving awards to members of the custodial staff. The most heart-warming letter I ever received was from a woman on the custodial staff who said that receiv- ing her award was the best thing that ever happened to her, he said. McComas also believes that the com- bined efforts of the faculty, staff, and alumni will raise $4 million in contrib- utions for the Creative Arts Complex, a project he initiated. It ' s truly gratifying to see how many people have given their money and time to this project, he said. McComas has no plans for his future. I never know where I ' ll end up Dr. McComas, his wife Adele, and his daughter Cathy look on while his son Pat sets a rocket on the presidential lawn. The rose garden beside their home provides the McComas ' with much outdoor enjoyment as Dr. McComas cuts a rose for his wife. — I try to keep an open mind about my future. He laughed. Life ' s been good to me so far — I ' ll just let it take its own course. Dr. McComas tries to find time for some relaxa- tion even during the hectic schedule of meet- 102 The Hierarchy iculptors of Success: Believe in the Old Adage, ' Live and Let Live ' . — I I ' m an Ozark hillbilly and proud the Reflector, School and College Rel- ations, Orientation and tuitional ser- vices among others. Virtually every student is touched in some way by the Division of Student Affairs, said Jones. Our job is to help students develop into mature, productive citi- zens. I ' m sort of an ordinary citizen, drawled Dean Marion T. Lofton, dean of graduate studies. Nothing flamboy- ant — I ' m sort of low-key, quiet, not overly ambitious, but willing to work and get a job done. Work, certainly, is something Lofton does a lot of. Since Chester McKee, ex-vice president of research and graduate studies resigned, Lofton has assumed the administrative responsi- bilities of research along with his regu- ' m an Ozark hillbilly and proud f it, said Robert L.

You ' ll find me attend- g many concerts and other entertain- ents at Mississippi State. It ' s part of yjob. The Division of Student Affairs, says )nes, encompasses all the student irvices. The IRHC and Housing and ssidence Life divisions cater to the jeds of 5200 students. Three-fourths students participate in the intramu- I sports program. Other services in  nes ' division include the Placement : fice and Career Information Center, e Student Counseling Center, Spe- al Student Services, the Reveille and Dean Marion Loftin lar responsibilities to the 1700 gradu- ate students on campus. Lofton ' s quiet, introspective nature is an asset both at work and at home. I ' m no longer surprised at anything when I come to work in the morning, he said. And if I do get upset about something, I don ' t show it. At home, Lofton enjoys wo rking in his yard, reading news magazines, papers and serious biographies. His 80 lb. Dalma- tion, Nick, keeps him company, and costs more to feed than I do! Dean Lofton also enjoys classical music and proclaims Tolkien ' s Lord of the Rings one of the best books ever written. I believe in the old adage, ' Live and let live, ' he says. It has a sense of fairness about it. It ' s an appreciation for the ways of others — and a quiet insistence that your own ways should likewise be respected. I ' m a rural country boy, said Loftin. I ' ll travel when I retire, but I ' ll always return to Starkville. Loftin assists his students (above) and signs papers for his secretary, Charleen Carol. Vice-presidents 1 03 The Architecture of Academics The greatest power anyone has is the power of . persuasion. — Dr. Robert E. Wolverton I like everything about my job — I ' d work for nothing, said Vice Presi- dent T. K. Martin. Martin rides his bike and arrives at work at 7:00 every morn- ing. Have you seen my 15-speed bicy- cle? he asked. Well, come on, I ' ll show it to you. I have the nicest office on cam- pus, boasted Martin, whose 30 years of service have spanned the tenure of four university presidents. He laughed. It was really meant for the president, he confided, but President Giles pre- ferred the location of the other office so we traded — and I ' ve been here ever since. door and his mind to work at 3:00 when he grabs his cap and pedals home. If you have a bad day, he rea- soned, that doesn ' t mean you have to have a bad evening too. Taking the fun out of school, according to Dr. George Verrall, Vice President of Business Affairs, is a rep- utation administrators suffer. The hard- est part of his job, says Verrall, is to make people believe that the Division of Business Affairs exists to serve peo- ple. We ' ve got to believe it and prove it to ourselves, then to the university. For example, when the water pipes broke in Clayton Village in the fall Martin enjoys reading, hunting, gar- semester, the business affairs office was there to offer financial assistance. The business affairs division includes among other things the Physical Plant, Auxiliaries, Purchasing, Personnel, Financial Services, and Custodial Ser- vices. By the time people call busi- ness affairs, Verrall sighed, there ' s dening, bike-riding and describes him- self as an idealist. This job sometimes is tough because it deals with the dif- ference between what is and what ought to be. I always aim higher than I can reach. Nevertheless, Dr. Martin closes his Our students are natural, unassuming, friendly they abhor stuffed shirts and sham and put-on, ' said Vice President Martin. already a problem — maybe their air conditioner isn ' t working — and they ' re already mad at us. All we can do is to be honest, helpful, fair and firm. That ' s the key to being a good administrator. Verrall, who has a wife and a ten- year-old son, Timothy, earned all of his four degrees, including a D.B.A. in economics, at MSU. His service in the Navy managing the financial affairs of a destroyer was instigated by meeting a Navy recruiter in the lobby of MSU ' s YMCA building. He met his wife, Kay, at a faculty meeting at MSU. Verrall is an associate professor of economics and an associate dean in the College of Business and Industry as well as Vice President of Business Affairs at MSU. I know I won ' t become stagnant in any one position at this university, laughs Verrall. And that ' s the real! secret to success — take on another job the moment you catch yourself get- ting too comfortable in your job. Because that ' s the same moment that you begin to block change. When an administrator loses contact with stu- dents, said Verrall, he ' s lost what this campus is all about. 1 04 The Hierarchy Wise feels that, at MSU, you can do any- g you ' re big enough to do. ' I, ' ve got the best job on cam- ;, declares Dr. Louis N. Wise, vice sident of agriculture, forestry, and erinary medicine. My job isn ' t ated in this office — my desk is. Wise has traveled to almost every intry in the world to see if MSU ' s irnational staff was getting proper ising, schooling and medical atten- i. He also helped disseminate •rmation about seed technology to underdeveloped countries receiv- money from the United States, our shelves in Wise ' s office are )d with gourmet cookbooks. My iness is food — of course I love to •k! he said. Wise once wanted to ablish a chefs-in-residence gour- t cooking program at MSU. I ited our food program here to ude aesthetics as well as nutrition, said. So, with a few entrees pro- sd by Craig Claiborne, food editor he New York Times, he traveled to most famous cooking schools in ope, including the Cordon Bleu in is. The wine program in the horti- ure department was an outgrowth hese travels, he said. That ' s bably my favorite accomplishment 1SU. r. Wise has also helped establish ; College of Veterinary Science, the ' International Program of Seed Tech- nology, the turfgrass program, and the home economics curriculum. What has always impressed me most about MSU, said Wise, is that you can do anything you ' re big enough to do. The university is relatively small, not bound up with rules and regulations, and you can always get encouragement here. It ' s a very friendly, open climate, unrestricted, allowing individual deci- sions on individual cases. Dr. Wise is certainly a unique individ- ual — he is considering retiring and going into law school. I love dealing with people and ideas, he said. Law is a collection of ideas that affect peo- ple. Well, who ' s holding the gun to your head? Vice President Robert E. Wol- verton asks administrators who say that they can ' t wait to return to full-time teaching. Administration ' s not an easy job, but it ' s fascinating — and life is just too short not to be enjoyed. Wolverton turned and gestured towards a sculpture of Augustus in the corner of his office. I ' ve adopted Augustus ' statement as my academic philosophy — ' Make haste slowly ' . Wolverton explained that power is very diffuse in a university, never centered in one person. Therefore, an adminis- trator should be patient but persistent and keep a good sense of humor. Especially a good sense of humor, he emphasized. Otherwise, it would be impossible to deal with angry, red- faced fathers pounding your desk and demanding their money back because their child had failed a course. Leadership, says Wolverton, is a quality that administrators sometimes unknowingly abuse. The greatest power anyone has is the power of per- suasion, he said. If you treat people as if they are incompetent, they ' ll become incompetent. You have to suggest they can become better than they are, and above all, you must take Administration ' s not an easy job, but it ' s fascinating . . . care not to step on anyone ' s ego. Wolverton, who is very happy serv- ing as an administrator, says he occa- sionally sits down and asks himself three questions — am I doing what I want, am I going where I want, and am I becoming what I want to become? I ' m optimistic that administrative jobs will always provide affirmative answers to these questions, he said. My job is very rewarding. As John Gardiner wrote, ' The greatest thing any leader can do is to keep alive a sense of hope ' . You can help people fulfill themselves if you can convince them that they can better them- selves. Wolverton said. Vice-presidents 1 05 The Architecture of Academics W w w hat is my job? Dean Lyell C. Behr of the College of Arts and Sci- ences leaned back, hands clasped behind his head, and looked down past the blue-checked curtains of his sec- ond floor window at the bustling lobby below. I sign lots of stuff. And my pas- time is watching people who don ' t know they ' re being watched. Dean Behr, well-noted for his sense of humor, acts as the administrative head of 18 different departments and ROTC. He helps hire and keeps up with the faculty, acts as mediator during disputes between students and faculty, meets with the Academic Council, is reported to by the Cobb Institute, and serves as chairman for both the Lyceum Committee and the local Uni- versity Press of Mississippi. And signs a lot of stuff. He enjoys wine, reading, walking, and listening to music ( not too many decibels ). He has worked as a caddy, a grocery store clerk, a puller of mus- tard out of flax and a shocker of oats. He has a list of peeves, too — sham, conceit, cheats and opera- tors. Behr smiled and pulled out a sheaf of papers to sign. Well, it ' s been fun, he said. Next time you go through Allen Hall, wave up here at me. If I ' m not signing stuff, I ' ll probably be watch- ing. Dora Herring, Director of the School of Accountancy, came to MSU as a junior in 1962 as the mother of three sons ages three to ten years — after having left the work force for 14 years. You have to look at life in a long- range perspective, she said. I ' m always looking forward to new things — right now I ' m anticipating learning to play piano and studying archaeol- ogy, especially Biblical archaeology. I was the first woman to teach in the accounting department here, she said, and I ' ve never been made to feel any different from the men. The accounting faculty members elected me to be the new Director of the School of Accountancy. The School of Accountancy, which The Drawing Board was known as the Department of Accounting until July 1, 1979, was given its special separate status to give accounting a higher visibility and to keep up with the national trend. Accounting is coming of age as a pro- fession, explained Dr. Herring. Accounting, like medicine and law, has a special clientele, a specific code of ethics and diversity, in other words, many sub-specialties, within the disci- pline. She loves her new job as a director and still teaches two classes. Being a director is much more unpredictable than teaching full-time, she said. I can ' t plan my time because something always come up to interrupt my sched- ule — I always wind up doing about a fourth of what I wanted to do. I feel like I ' m just spinning my wheels some days. On the other hand, added Dr. Her- ring, There ' s lots I ' ll never have time to do — so I plan to live every day to the fullest. above: I ' ve always had a certain amount o ham, said Behr. I ' m looking forward to teach ing full time — I love to tell about my interest ir chemistry. above: Today ' s young people are of the highes quality. They study hard and try to make the most of themselves, praised Dr. Herring. 106 The Hierarchy Education, according to Dean Max  . Heim of the College of Education, )uches everybody. Everyone goes to chool in our society, everyone is ffected by teachers. Teaching teach- rs is an awesome responsibility. Heim who calls himself a Kansas armboy, says the most important ;sue in education today is the chang- lg role of the family. Granny doesn ' t eep the kids anymore because she ves too far away. Nobody talks at the upper table anymore because every- ne ' s watching television. And when ids get home from school, they watch le tube until Mom gets home from work. These are the kids who don ' t read much and make low scores on brated his 41st birthday this year in an obscure guest house in the People ' s Republic of China. Lee, a member of an American delegation touring China to share information about forest resources, didn ' t miss his cake and candles, however. Instead I had a Granola bar with a split bamboo tooth- pick in it, he laughed. Lee is gravely concerned about the scarcity of natural resources. Ameri- cans are too unaware of their responsi- bility to conserve resources, he said, and that ' s where the forester comes into the scheme of things — it ' s our job to create an awareness that resources for future generations depend upon us today. What I wasn ' t prepared for when I came here, he said, was the compe- tition between Mississippi universities. I had a father visit me the first week I was here who said he wouldn ' t have paid his son ' s tuition had the boy elected to go to Ole Miss. He shook his head. I was astounded. Like most forestry majors, Dean Lee was drawn to his profession envision- ing a lifetime of working in the forest. One of the ironies of many profes- sions, he said, is that one is offered promotions to desk jobs when they become competent at doing the work they love — in my case, forestry. Accepting a desk job is an individual choice — and a difficult one. But I ' ve been lucky — I ' m involved with edu- cating young foresters, and that ' s one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. What I wasn ' t prepared for when I came here was the com- petition between Mississippi Universities. Mississippi ' s a beautiful state, said Dean eim. It ' s a joy to work and live here. ollege entrance exams. Heim, the father of three children, ijoys reading. I ' m working on War nd Remembrance right now, he lid. His other interests include train- ig and raising quarter horses and Doking — My wife and I are mem- ars of the Gourmet Club. At 45, Heim is already a grandfather, t will be interesting to see how socie- I changes affect my granddaughter ' s sneration, he said. Schools can ' t d everything. I hope that families and £ j lurches begin exerting a greater I. fluehce over our kids. Dean J. Charles Lee Of MSU ' S MSU students really care about their world, said The Architecture of Academics fc£ Five words to remember . . . priorities, values, perseverance, faith, anrj success. — Dean Willie McDaniel I love my job! Willie McDaniel, dean of the college of engineering, happily declared. He beamed broadly as he seated himself on his office sofa. But if I could go back to school and start all over again, I think I ' d go into veterinary medicine. Everyone ' s inter- ests change. Willie McDaniel seems to collect interests rather than change them. McDaniel jogs up to seven miles per day. Other activities include teaching the Businessmen ' s Bible class on radio Sunday mornings, reading historical novels, and hunting for doves and quail. Dean McDaniel even plans for future interests. When I retire I plan to write the Great American Novel ' , he con- fided. But in the meantime McDaniel enjoys teaching his electrical engi- neering classes and his administrative responsibilities. McDaniel finds being a college administrator challenging. I couldn ' t be happy until I ' d done the most there was to do. McDaniel, armed with a degree in electrical engineering from Auburn, his wife and first son, came to MSU in the fall of 1959. I came here simply because at MSU I could have a full- time teaching job while I earned my Master ' s degree. He paused, remem- bering. My furniture, though, arrived hours before I did. Chester McKee, who had hired me, actually paid for my furniture to be unloaded without ever having seen me. My wife and I knew then that we ' d found a home here. I tell my students every semester that there ' s five words that I want them to remember — priorities, values, per- severance, faith and success. If you think about and act upon these ideas often, he said, I guarantee that things will begin to happen in your life. He smiled. They seem to work forme, he added. There ' s not a thing wrong with being a small town redneck, pro- claimed Dean Charles E. Lindley of the College of Agriculture and Home Eco- nomics when asked if agriculture stu- dents were often from farm back- grounds. Besides, he added, smil- ing, There aren ' t any more rednecks in agriculture than there are in arts and sciences. Many people don ' t realize that agri- culture encompasses all of the most sophisticated sciences in the world, said Lindley. Our students study almost everything — business, genet- ics, engineering — you name it. My work stagnates if I don ' t get any breaks, Dean McDaniel says. I jog during lunch to release morning tensions and prepare for the afternoon. I ' m all for MSU in every way, said Dean Lind ley. Some think that competition with Ole Misv is too strong. I think our school spirit is great. Dr. Lindley, an animal scientist became interested in agriculture while- growing up on a 160-acre farm in Nox-i ubee County. I loved doing the physi-j cal work — milking cows, plowing cot- ton, and harvesting corn — it was! great. Lindley came to MSU in 193S as a freshman, joined the Air Force ir 1942, then returned and graduated ir 1946. Two years later he obtained a Master ' s degree from Washington State University and in 1957 he received a Ph.D. from Oklahoma State University. My kids are my favorite hobby, , said Lindley. I enjoy spending time with them in 4-H activities, baseball and football. Lindley tries hard to encourage his sons and students to get everything 2 they can out of their time spent al I MSU. Students, he said, usually learn h much more outside the classroom than inside. I always try to inspire my stu- dents to do the best they can, whether i they ' re doing school work or playing, ' ! football. And getting to know other B people, he said, is probably the moslg important, wonderful experience in theu ■ world. ' chitecture school is demanding. We ' re tough our students because we ' re tough on our- es, commented Dean McMinn. Iread coming to work on days I ' ll have to dis- ioint someone, said Dean Rogers. An ,n architect is someone who ere- s something where there was nothing ore, said Dean William G. McMinn of School of Architecture. I ' m an archi- t through and through. Architecture, said McMinn, has become extension of himself. Architects con- ntly make visual judgments of every- ig — album covers, silverware, nature. rtcMinn traveled to the University of Jor- 1 in the summer of 1979 to help establish ichool of architecture there. Traveling i meeting new people is the best thing of the students. Dean Gaines M. Rogers of the College of Business and Industry has known since the age of five that he wanted to become a doctor or a college professor. Now in his 32nd year serving as dean, he says, I ' d become a rancher if I had to do it all over again. Honesty, says Rogers, is an essential characteristic of businessmen. People sometimes accuse the College of Business and Industry of being a hatchery for robber barons. The profit motive of business stu- dents is misunderstood — managers expect to command a high salary, true, but about my job, he said. McMinn also helped plan a research program for the development of a center for the interdisci- plinary study of small towns. The thing that impresses me most about students here, said McMinn, is their openness. They ' re not afraid to say, ' Please help me. ' Students from the North, on the other hand, often make you feel like you should justify your presence by offer- ing your teaching credentials. The college years are a critical time of one ' s life, according to Dean McMinn. It ' s the time when you find out what you ' re able to do. Everyone needs a long range reason for being on earth, and for me that reason is to help design a better world. Dean Miller is the most brilliant man on campus, said Vice President Louis N. Wise. Mrs. Kimbrough, Miller ' s secretary, agreed. He ' s a pure genius, and works almost non-stop. It ' s tough being his secre- tary because he ' s so busy. Born in Jamaica, Miller literally grew up all over the world. He is an accomplished ; yachtsman, and commented, If I had the j chance to live life all over again, I ' d go to sea. I would love to become a marine of some sort. Miller said his job takes up 1 00 percent of his time. But he doesn ' t resent this. Being dean of the vet school has given me the opportunity to be a spokesman for the vet- erinary profession. I think I ' ve been suc- cessful — and successful things aren ' t ever too time-consuming. Only defeat is bit- terness. Most of Miller ' s work is spent in public relations for the vet school. It ' s definitely a multi-faceted venture, said Miller. The vet school is important to students, to ani- mal owners, to MSU, and to veterinarians who wish to do research. Parents are often more expressive of aspirations of students than the students themselves, he said. My job is most rewarding when I ' m allowed to share the aspirations of the student ' s family, the praise of the alumni, and the achievement MSU is fortunate to have Miller to head the vet school, according to Vice President Wise. He ' s been all over the world, and speaks beau- tifully — his words fascinate me. so do theater people and musicians. Man- agers fulfill a role of service to humanity. Rogers enages in many relaxing activi- ties outside work.

THE ACADEMICS A Closer Look The Academics 111 Architecture of Academics School of Accountanc Accountancy Gets Underwc tt We eve been discussing the issue of whether or not to become a professional school of accountancy since the 60 ' s, said Dr. Dora Herring, Director of MSU ' s new School of Accountancy. We decided that branching off into a separate school would giving accounting at MSU a rec- ognition as a true profession and attract distinguished speakers, good students and good faculty members. Accounting, according to Dr. Her- ring, is the newest of the true profes- sions, and therefore departments of accounting in universities across the nation are forming their own separate schools. At MSU, the School of Accountancy is so intertwined with the rest of the business school that we still have a dean, she explained. But accounting students don ' t have to have things approved by the dean ' s office anymore — the School of Accountancy holds its own students ' records and plans it own curriculum. Students who graduate from the School of Accountancy will now receive degrees called Bachelor of Professional Accountancy and Master of Professional Accountancy. One major difference in our requirements for the new Bachelor of Professional Accountancy and the old Bachelor of Science degree is that students who earn the B.P.A. degree will have to have at least a 2.5 QPA with at least a B grade in each of the two principles of accounting courses or a 2.5 QPA in accounting courses if more than two courses had already been taken. above: Accounting students Melanie Newtc Barbara Widell, Jennifer Wallace, Jeff Thomj( and Bill Franks are reviewing a new set ' accounting problems.

There is also a newed alumni interest, and the spe- ll recognition we ' ve received from ople off-campus has been signifi- nt, too. Other changes brought by the school ' s separate status were the establishment of a new separate library appropriation for upgrading the hold- ings of accounting publications, and the compilation of a separate alumni file to contact accounting alumni. The separation of the accounting depart- ment into a new School of Accoun- tancy was definitely a wise decision, said Dr. Herring.

Stojanovic, professor of enology and head of the enology labo- ratory. They all went out of business when prohibition laws were passed. One fact that surprises many people is that all these wineries were located north of Highway 80. In fact, one was located a little north of Starkville, and that winery ' s best customers were Mis- sissippi A M students who drove there in wagons pulled by mules. In 1975, however, the Mississippi Legislature passed The Mississippi Native Wine Law of 1976 to authorize and encourage domestic production of native wines from Mississippi by giving Mississippians advantages over out-of- state wine producers. Anyone, said Stojanovic, can get into the wine bus- iness in this state provided that the winery is in a wet county.

Southeastern Native American Grapes, also known as muscadines, are resistant to diseases that European grapes are susceptible to in the hot Mississippi climate, according to Stoja- novic. We cross disease-resistant muscadines with other grapes to pro- duce improved wines, he added. Muscadines are a definite plus to Mis- sissippi wine-making, he said. Fif- teen tons of muscadines can be har- vested from one acre of grapevines. This is better than three times per acre more than any other grape produced.

Estes ' students call him at home and visit him there all the time. I teach every agriculture student in the university, and I am really pleased whenever I hear about their accom- plishments, he said. I get pretty close to some of my students, because I advise the Horticulture Club, the Agriculture Council and the honor fraternity for agriculture stu- dents. The Horticulture Club party is held at my house, and I help the club members with mum sales, and attend the fall and spring picnics. We have a really great time. I really feel rewarded and satisfied with teaching, said Estes. The information I present is practical and useful, and after nine years, I still learn something each semester with my students. Estes said that teach- ers often become so locked into their roles that they forget how much power they have over students. Every teacher should take a class to earn a grade — it brings teachers back to the reality of what they put on students, he said. Most professors consider teaching 12 hours per semester a very full load; Estes teaches 15 hours in the fall semester. I stay up to 11:30 at night grading papers, he said.

Hank Hildebrandt, Professor of Architecture, akes time out to critique the preliminary design ■f freshman Martha Buehler of Greenville. I If you asked me what profession was in, mused Hank Hildebrandt, rchitecture professor, I honestly on ' t know whether I ' d say architec- jre or teaching. Teaching is a profes- on, though some don ' t treat it as if it ere. Hildebrandt, who teaches the first year design class, finds that the first year architecture students are refreshing, very naive, fun to be with, and have many good ideas. It takes much energy and a spe- cial person at a special time in his life to teach the first year students, he said. Younger teachers are more enthusiastic and excited; first year students are very free and uninhibited in design class, while upper level students are less ener- getic and more conventional. Differ- ent teachers are better for different students. I can ' t say that I ' ll be able to teach first year design when I ' m forty years old. Both teaching and architecture, says Hildebrandt, are very humane fields — they both make a contrib- ution to society. Hildebrandt spends much time with his first year students. Sometimes I get calls at . . . teaching architecture design is my life. ' 3:00 in the morning, he said. I really try to work a lot with my stu- dents — it ' s really unfortunate that professors are expected to get all caught up with committee duties and publications. That really squeezes your time. Hildebrandt and his associate, Gary Schaffer, have an architecture practice in Starkville. I guess I am pretty busy, he said. When I do get some time off, I enjoy traveling with my dog, Benjamin, and remod- eling my house. But teaching archi- tecture design is my life.

Arts and Sciences 1 27 The Architecture of Academics Carla Johnson Takes Creative Approach V arla Rae Johnson is an artist, a teacher, and a sort of philosopher! Versatility and awareness are two terms which must go hand in hand when describing this teacher and her work. An experienced showman, Carla, as she insists her students call her, realizes the many aspects of objects which are not usually realized by an observer in everyday life. My con- cern now is with realizing a quiet (maybe even mute) object which is as clean as I can make it, as simple as I can see it, and operates on several levels of awareness effec- tively, she explains in her State- ments of Approach to Work. Carla, a teacher of ceramics, basic and three-dimensional design, drawing and art appreciation, began her career as an art teacher at Kah- ler Middle School in Dyer, Indiana, in 1969. Since that time she has received her Master ' s in Fine Art in Ceramics at University of Iowa, explored personal artistic pursuits and research, taught at State Uni- Humor is often an integral element, usually introduced in the title.

Since 1973 she has shown her work, which ranges from the tradi- tional and non-traditional use of a medium — assemblages of found objects, fabrication of objects which cannot be found, to conceptual works and performance pieces, as explained in her Statement, everywhere from Iowa, Illinois, Ala- bama, South Carolina, New York, to small and large towns all over Mis- sissippi. Art and Life and How I Felt About the Ladder, the title of her most recent show, best describes Johnson ' s work. When asked about the ideas behind her work, Carla commented, Content has always been impor- tant, sometimes taking precedence over form, or else determining it. Humor is often an integral element, usually introduced in the title. A title is almost always essential to the piece. Carla Johnson, art teacher, shapes clay from Tuscaloosa, Alabama for ceramics. Carla decided she wanted to be i an artist in the ninth grade. Origi- nally planning to be a painter, she realized in college that she could best express her ideas and feelings three dimensionally instead of two- dimensionally. To Carla, creativity is an attitude and way of life. She attempts to take a creative approach to living and her art, which seems to make a whole lot of sense with the present condi- tion of the world. L 1oore. Holly Springs, MS n. Gullport.

The arts were oming an important aspect of MSU, ley should be. he Department of Art has grown to one of the most versatile depart- lts on campus, by not only serving students in architecture, education, landscape architecture and home eco- nomics, but commercial art and paint- ing majors as well. Fine art electives such as ceramics, photography, art appreciation, and painting are offered for all university students. This growing demand for the cultural advantages fine art education provides has resulted in a faculty of nine full- time and one part-time professor in 1979. Enrollment remains at near capacity for space and faculty availa- ble, with the number of sections of art offered each semester at a total of 36. Within the past eleven years the fine seed of a small, yet very healthy organ- ism — THE ARTS — has been ferti- lized and been growing slowly, but steadily, into the young healthy depart- ment which it is today. The faculty is as geographically and philosophically div- erse as the term art is known to be. Their dedication and love of the arts are the fertilizer which keeps art alive in the school and student body and will continue to nurture the growing aware- ness of the arts and culture on this campus, as it should be nurtured. left: Leonard Farley assists Angela Goodman ir arranging a color values chart.

Clemmer ' s particular fascination with marine life is apparent from the moment one locates his office in the basement of Harned. The window to the door of his office is cluttered with newspaper clippings about var- ious fishes, especially the snail dar- ter, a fish threatened with extinction if the Tenn-Tom Waterway is com- pleted. Clemmer is well known for his opposition to the construction of the Waterway; he is plaintiff in the Tenn-Tom lawsuit. right: Clemmer fully classifies all of the many fish in his collection, below: One entire stor- age room in the basement of Harned is filled with Clemmer ' s extensive fish collection. It ' s not just Tenn-Tom or nuclear power that are biological issues today. Biology is so exciting! All I have to do is read the papers to keep my Introduc- tion to Biology sections current. Bio- medicine is happening. The Mirex con- troversy is happening. And bioethics — biologists are exploring the phe- nomenon of death, the destruction of ecosystems, genetic engineering — the list is endless. Clemmer ' s face lit up when asked if he had a snail darter specimen. Come on, he said quickly, walking across the hall to his storage room. Row upon row of shelves filled with specimens of fishes, sharks, eels, and all forms of marine life left almost no room for mov- ing around. This is why my office is i located in the basement, he explained. I like having my fish col- lection nearby. Clemmer hopes to stay in the Southeast, too, because of his interest in fishes. There ' s a. huge variety of fishes here, he explained. Nevertheless, Clemmer and his; wife, an English teacher, have spent the last seven summers on the Colo- rado River, where Clemmer instructs a class and studies fish he catches. Biology, he said, is really the life. It ' s fascinating, allows you to meet interesting people and provides opportunities for travel- ing. L Sarah Shaw.

You can ' t change the system by throwing rocks at Allen Hall, he said. T I here ' s nothing wrong with having fun in class, said Danny Smith, sociology instructor. I try to develop a relationship with each class, and since I tend to have lots of athletes in my classes, we do organized cheers, call Razorback and bark at the Bulldogs. There ' s no rules against that. Smith claims that he leaves him- self wide open to students. I learn every student ' s name, though there are over 100 people in my classes — it ' s very important not to feel like you ' re a Social Security number, especially if you ' re a freshman. Smith has a special empathy for freshmen because he flunked out his first semester in college. I get to do lots of counseling stuff for my kids because I know their names and make friends with them, he said. I get lots of suicides and pregnancies, and my phone really rings during finals and mid-terms. Being a freshman is a big adjustment, and ages 18-21 are bad years for most people. If I ' m a good teacher, it ' s because my students have made me one, he continued. I want my peo- ple to make good, so they usually do. However, Smith has become tired of teaching Introduction to Sociol- ogy semester after semester. It has really gotten boring after three years, he grumbled. Some of my lectures have already been given ten or eleven times, and everyone ' s already heard my jokes from their friends and roommates before I get to tell them, so I have to bully my I want my people to make good, so they usually do. people by holding up the grading pen to get some laughs.

It was not only the first college of business in Missis- sippi, but it is one of the oldest in the United States. The College of Business is one of approximately one hundred twenty colleges of business that are fully accredited by the American Asso- ciation of Collegiate Schools of Busi- ness at both the graduate and the undergraduate levels. The College of Business and Industry offers a variety of directions a student can take as he pursues his degree objectives. In addi- tion to the diversity of employment opportunities, the curriculum require- ments for a degree in business at Mis- sissippi State University provides a stu- dent with the foundation and stimulus for long-term growth and development. The College of Business and Industry offers the Bachelor of Science in Busi- ness and Industry, the Master of Busi- ness Administration, Master of Sci- ence, Master of Public Accountancy, Ellen Atwood, Clinton, MS Bobbie Avent.

Henry W. Nash, head of the Mar- ;eting Department, said that he ' likes administration but loves teaching. And his personal selling course, he said, was by far his favor- ite. All my personal selling students have to sell me a product, service, or an idea, he said. I ' ve bought ceme- tery lots, been recruited as an MSU basketball player, joined ROTC, bought athletic turf, farm equipment and drug prescriptions. I ' m surprised at my students ' imaginations every semester. Being around student imagina- tions, claimed Nash, keeps me young. People have many mis- conceptions about selling, he said. Selling is an art, requires imagina- tion, and can ' t be taught — only sci- entific principles of selling can be taught. Salesmen have a bad name because not all are professional salesmen, said Nash. A profes- sional salesman is a problem solver, not a manipulator — he ' s there to solve your problem, and as a result, both of you should benefit. Dr. Nash, who describes himself as a staunchly patriotic American, a believer in free enterprise, and a conservative, says that selling potential faculty members on MSU is one of his favorite tasks. Stark- ville ' s small, has cultural advan- tages, and a great public school sys- tem, he said. Recruiting teachers isn ' t difficult — I think the Marketing Department is the best, and that MSU ' s the best — and selling some- thing you believe in is easy.

That ' s how I feel about teaching. I ' ll never forget how I felt my first real contentment dur- ing my practice teaching. Donna teaches approximately 90 first-graders over the course of a school day under the supervision of Mrs. Teresa Bryant. I ' ve known since I started school that I wanted to be a teacher, she said. But I never Let ' s Play Schoc| thought I ' d want to be a first grade teacher because it ' s such an important year to children. And there ' s so much preparation for each day — elemen- tary school teachers prepare all the handouts given to the first graders to color and take home, or cut and paste, and so on. But I ' m so glad I have first graders now. The first graders in Donna ' s classes are so uninhibited, she said. They ' ll come over to you and tell you that they love you and put their arms around your neck. Donna emphasizes that Carolyn Mosely, Tina Edwards, Judy Shumak and Margaret Hutcherson, all MSU stude I teachers, watch one of their students perform j the playground. first grade teachers can ' t assume thl their students know the basics.

MS The Architecture of Academics Special Education Majors Receive Special Attention from Nordan I I work very closely with my stu- dent teachers because special educa- tion majors must give individualized attention to their students, said Mrs. Rita Nordan, an instructor in the Special Education Department. I ' m very stu- dent-oriented — that ' s what I ' m being paid for. Students know they can call me or come to my home if they need me. Mrs. Nordan, who taught in public schools for three years, said that she very much misses teaching special chil- dren. But we desperately need well- trained teachers in special education, especially since Public Law 94-142 was passed, requiring public schools to offer free education to handicapped children. The special education field will be expanding incredibly fast from this time onward. Mrs. Nordan is one of three people in Mississippi certified to give the SOMPA Test. I went to Riverside, California to be certified by Dr. Jane Mercer, the woman who developed this test, she said. This test was designed for special Education Department Boasts Outstanding Facult by intelligence tests in the past. A fed- eral court has ruled that non-discrimina- tory tests must be given from now on, Mrs. Nordan said. I foresee some busy times ahead for special educators, she added. And that ' s wonderful, not only for special children, but for all children. Perhaps as the field of special education amws it ; nhilncr nhw • -. noa -i-.; ;_,j:..:-i. .

My only regret my work is that I miss interacting with stu- nts as much as I used to, he said. I worked in a steel mill while I attended college, said Dr. John Wollenberg. And met a lot of really intelligent people there who were convinced they were stupid — they ' d done poorly in school and lost confidence in themselves. These steel workers, along with some Army kids and Chicano chil- dren, contributed to Wollenberg ' s decision to become a teacher of reading. Reading is the basis of learning, said Wollenberg. I super-enjoy watching my students learn to teach reading. Teaching ' s the perfect job for me — I can talk the horns off a billy goat. Mississippi State is the perfect school to teach at, too, according to Wallenberg. I saw lots I didn ' t like when teaching in public schools, he said. Many children from low socio-economic classes weren ' t encouraged to learn at all. But I think I can safely say that the stu- dents graduating from MSU will help every child reach their fullest poten- tial. I ' ve been all over the country, and the students here are the best I ' ve ever known. Dr. Wollenberg turned down a chance to attend law school — Anyone can do that, he said — to become an educator. I ' m basically a simple man — I always want to work with people, he explained. I read, lift weights, run every day, love nature, and love to teach my chil- dren things. I think I like to teach people to teach reading because that way I can help people reach their full potential, directly or indi- rectly. It ' s a very gratifying profes- sion.

Reeves, assistant professor of industrial and occupational education. There are probably more women in industry who do light welding than men. Industrial and occupational education is no longer a man ' s field. An enormous variety of skills is taught in the Industrial and Occupa- tional Education Building, and accord- ing to Bruce Stirewalt, acting head of the department, there ' s also a great deal of variety in the students in the department. We teach people to teach typing, bricklaying, wood working, metal craft, electronics, leatherwork, ceramics, and reprographics, he said. We teach vocational teachers who are already working in their field to improve their competence and we ' re responsible for teaching people how to teach about career possibilities and Liz Faulkner and Eddie Ridings were two mem- bers of the spring 1980 electronics lab.

MS The Architecture of Academics A n interdisciplinary team of 11 MSU science and engineering profes- sors and more than 20 graduate stu- dents is currently involved in the larg- est single research effort ever under- taken at Mississippi State. Funded by a $1.85 million Depart- ment of Energy grant, the university has constructed a magneto-hydrody- namics, ' ' or MHD, simulation facility inside the Patterson Engineering Lab, according to Dr. David Murphree, sen- ior investigator on the project. The MSU research team is develop- ing materials, high temperature com- puter oriented laser instrumentation, and chemical analysis of a power pro- duction system which may allow utili- ties to obtain twice as much electricity as previously obtainable from each ton of coal. MHD research began three years ago at MSU, and has been expanding ever since, according to Murphree, who believes the program will continue on campus for at least 10 more years. We are anticipating a fiscal year 1980 budget in excess of $3 million, Mur- phree said. Considered one of the prime candi- dates in the nation ' s search for alter- A Search for Alternate Energy Sources . . nate energy sources, the MHD system, as outlined by Dr. A. G.

The second step of the process, which is being examined by MSU Bill Robertson works on the test stand, whc diesel fuel is burned at very high temperatur , and results are recorded on computer. researchers, utilizes those same h ! gases more conventionally to conve ' water into steam, which is then used t drive electrical generators.

But it serves a purpose, too — stu- dents will respond to someone that can speak their language. Ma lary Jasper ' s office in Engi- neering Graphics is always bustling with students. Grand Central Station strikes again! she often calls cheer- fully as students move in and out freely. I think I ' m a mother figure, she confided. I had a student from Nigeria once who would walk in and yell, ' Hi, Big Mama! ' Mary Jasper has a special affinity for freshmen and prefers teaching engineering graphics courses rather than upper level courses. Freshmen aren ' t so hardened, she explained. Most of them have never been expo- sed to graphics before, and it ' s fun to see their faces light up when you tell them something new. Since Mrs. Jasper has five children of her own, she finds it easy to keep up with the jargon of young people. Mary Jasper ' s only frustration with her job is that some students in her classes don ' t seem to enjoy what they ' re studying. I just hate to see kids come into engineering because they were coerced into it by their par- ents. College is supposed to be fun! I tell them not to go into a field because there ' s money in it, but to find out what they like! She laughed. I hope one of my kids will like to be a plumber. Honors and awards have been plentiful for Mary Jasper. I ' m the new editor of an international journal called Engineering Design, she said. I often tell people it ' s more of a sen- tence than an honor. Mrs. Jasper was also chosen during Women ' s Week as an outstanding faculty mem- ber. It ' s great to be recognized as a good teacher, she said. Like I tell my students — you can do well at something you love. right: I really do love teaching, comments Mary Jasper. During a weekend at home with my five, I find myself looking forward to Monday when I can come to work and rest. 148 The Academic: igineering Labs Integral Part of Curriculum Vrfhemical and petroleum engi- neering majors enroll in their curricula knowing that the course work won ' t be easy. The laboratories they take as jun- iors and seniors aren ' t easy either, but as one student put it, at least we see theories put into practice in lab. Lab reports written by chemical engineering students, for example, must be written in a professional jour- nal style corresponding to industrial and scientific standards, according to lab instructor Ginger Singletary. Team work in the lab is heavily emphasized so that students will learn to work with fellow engineers, she said. The unit operations laboratory provides experience in examining roughness coefficients, contraction and expansion coefficients, heat trans- fer in a heat exchanger, and heat con- duction in solids, among other things. The petroleum engineering lab for juniors taught by Dr. R. E. Rogers is mostly concerned with the production of crude oil from reservoirs. This lab meets for three hours per week and the students pair up to carry on various experiments, said Rogers. Some of these experiments include finding the permeability of sandstone to determine how oil would flow through it, finding the porosity of sandstone, measuring the specific gravity of crude oil and natural gas, and measuring the viscos- ity (measure of flow of resistance of liq- uid) of oil as a function of temperature. Labs are time-consuming, but very helpful because they teach students how to work together, and how to use safety precautions, said Rogers. Labs are certainly one of the most important parts of the curriculum. .

The Architecture of Academics M f ▼ lississippi State University serves all the citizens of the state, not just students, goes the saying. The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, along with the Mississippi Game and Fish Commission and deer hunters in all 82 counties proved this in a unique way — by getting the hunters of the state to serve the university in the form of gathering research data on deer herds. This research project has turned out very well, says Dr. David Guynn, professor in the wildlife department of the School of Forest Resources. The three different groups (hunters, researchers, and the commission) became one big team. By helping us to collect data on deer herds in the state, the hunters became aware that a real problem exists with the deer popula- tion here, and they are taking steps to correct it. The problem is that many counties in the state are over-populated with deer. This came about when the Mississippi Game and Fish Commission discov- ered in the mid-forties that only twenty School of Forest Resource Deer Overpopulation Draws Research Effort) The Mississippi Game and Fish Commission, like MSU researchers, cooperated with hunters in the state in gathering data about deer. Hunters collected data on deer by weighir each animal they killed, then collecting its teeth 1 counties in the state had a huntabk deer population, said Guynn. Sc, they began a deer restoration opera tion, and in the late sixties the Commis sion realized that they had the opposite problem — too many deer. Many people aren ' t aware that dee overpopulation is a very real problem, ' said Guynn. When an area has toe many deer, these animals get smalle with each successive generation reproduction rates decrease, and ant ler development decreases. Overpopu lation is bad for humans as well as foi deer, for hungry deer will begin eatinc crops and causing more automobile accidents. This is a very real problem.

' The original project was designed find out about hunters themselves well as about the deer they shoot, d Guynn. The results of that phase the project furnished some very eresting results. For example, we jnd that many hunters were very posed to killing does; in some coun- 3, does should be killed instead of cks to help keep down the size of (deer herds. rhe other two phases of the project, sessing the condition of the deer on vate and on public land in the state, i still intact. Since 90 percent of the er herds are located on private land, ' ■ decided that hunters would have to ther the data, a process which tails collecting two teeth from and sighing each deer. The hunters who rticipated wanted feedback from us, d began to understand why their cks had inferior antlers, and why es should be killed as well as bucks overpopulated areas. Hunting clubs gan placing restrictions on the num- r of bucks each man may kill, with ff penalties placed on those who vio- late the rules. In other words, Guynn concluded, what had been a data- gathering project has become an edu- cational project as well. Dr. Sam Land is examining leaves in a forest genetics study of sycamore trees for differences that may be important for growth. Forest Resources 1 51 The Architecture of Academics ' Even Undergraduates Are Encouraged to Publish Forest Products Laboratory Combines ■ Unique Teaching Program With K Excellent Research Facilities 1 Jennie Spencer uses a computer termin help determine various properties of wood I ■ love to tell people that some of our graduates are hired by a com- pany that makes commode seats, laughed Dr. Paul Short, associate pro- fessor in the Forest Products Labora- tory. Benekie Corporations is one of the three top commode manufacturers in the world. Many people don ' t realize that toilet seats are usually made of wood. MSU ' s Forest Products Laboratory, located on a ten-acre site on the west- ern edge of campus, encompasses the Department of Wood Science and Technology, a division of the School of Forest Resources. Four of the five buildings located on the site are uni- que in that they were erected following a post-and-beam design and contain no load walls, the weight of the build- ing being carried by treated pine col- umns. Though conventional frame construction was employed in the fift building, it too is unique in that a woo; foundation was used in the basemer section and one wing of the buildin utilizes the crawl space as a planur chamber for air distribution. The teaching program for Wood Sc ence and Technology students is als unique in that even undergraduate are encouraged to publish in forestr journals, and students are exposed a much as possible to potential employ ers. Every year we pack up a van am take our students to a national meetini of forest product researchers, sak Short. We spend about a week on th road and at the meeting, where stu dents meet and talk to important peo pie in this field, exchange ideas witl students from other universities, ant class. Short also has ongoing chess games with his students. I lose every time, but that ' s okay — it ' s good to see the students get enthusiastic about something besides work. In fall 1979, the Forest Products Lab- oratory held an Alumni Dinner at Dor- man Lake. It ' s wonderful to see the results of our teaching, said Short. Our graduates are doing tremendous jobs in industry. We ' re very satisfied to see how happy they are. left: Frank Switzer determines the specific grav- ity of cross sections of a loblolly pine tree below: Dan Johnson collects data to determine the mechanical properties of various wood samples. eet potential employers.

Switzer, forestry profes- ;or I don ' t use textbooks in my ;lass because I don ' t examine my students on what they know, but on low they use what they know, here ' s not any set answer to what one does with this or that acre of forest land — it ' s a matter of interpre- tation. Two-thirds of Mississippi is for- est land, so it ' s pretty important that forestry students can put their knowl- edge of trees and calculus and soils and everything else to work. Switzer recalls that even as a young boy, he ' d go straight to the woods when school was over. I have an innate liking for the forest, he said. The forest isn ' t just a place where trees get cut down; it ' s a living, dynamic place. I ' ve always been curious about what makes a forest work. Switzer, who deals chiefly with forest nutrition, came to the school of forestry just by a random chance. He had been doing fores- try research at the experimental sta- tion, he said, when the forestry school was formed, and he became a member of the original faculty. It ' s been a very fruitful experi- ence to teach, he said. Every semester I add to and change the silvaculture course, and try to get my students to learn to think, to apply what they know. Otherwise Two-thirds of Mississippi is forest land, so it ' s pretty important that forestry stu- dents can put their knowledge of trees and calculus and soils and everything else to work. they ' ll just be lost when they enter the field, like I was as a young fores- ter. Switzer feels that he is especially fortunate because he spends about half of his time doing research in the forest. I have the best of both worlds, he said. I enjoy teaching, and at the same time I get out in the forest to do research. I wouldn ' t trade my jobs for anything.

I remember that day whenever I start thinking that vet school is too tough. Veterinary Medicin The Architecture of Academics Modem, Fully Equipped Faciliti class.

The coed was Cheryl Prewitt and her dream was to be Miss Amer- ica. This moment represented the culmi- nation of nineteen years of preparation. As Cheryl proudly walked the ramp after being crowned, she could be heard simply saying, Thank you, thank you. Cheryl ' s walk down that ramp did not begin in Atlantic City, however. It began many years ago when Cheryl began to enter beauty contests. When she entered MSU, she began to compete in the annual Miss MSU pageant. Her efforts were rewarded when she became Miss MSU in 1978. Eventually Cheryl entered the Miss Mississippi Pageant as Miss Starkville and was chosen to rep- resent Mississippi at the Miss America Pageant. Armed with confidence, her faith in God, and a lifetime of preparation, Cheryl then journeyed to Atlantic City. There this talented musician was crowned MSU ' s first Miss America. Cheryl ' s future plans may include graduate school in New York or a professional career in California. As evidenced by the warm welcome she received on her first return to MSU since she became Miss Amer- ica, Cheryl has continued to be very special to the stu- dents and faculty. How does Cheryl feel about all this? Well, as she I wouldn ' t trade places with anyone in the world. Miss America 1 65 tShztys Simnzon± — l {u± l {c±i.i±ii.L fiL B M. his year a very special coed can be seen frequently in the halls of MSU. She goes to classes and studies just like every other student here, but she is not like every other student. She has the special distinction of being Miss Mississippi. Her name is Sherye Sim- mons. Sherye Simmons, a junior marketing major at State, is a most versatile indi- vidual and a talented musician. Her pageant career did not begin as Miss Mississippi. Sherye was crowned Miss Jackson in 1978 and was crowned Miss MSU in 1979. Her performance has consistently been outstanding, as evidenced by her record. Where will Sherye go from here? Well, this year her activities will take her across the state and back again, making appearance s and singing. As for the future, Sherye wants to obtain a degree in marketing and pursue a career as a buyer or manager of a retail store. MSU is truly privileged and proud to have such a lovely celebrity in its midst. Miss Mississippi 167 ...„ The Best of BROADWAY The Best of Broadway set the mood for a night of beauties in the Union Ballroom as eighty-four contestants vied for the title of Miss Reveille. Special Entertainer was Sherye Simmons, 1979 Miss Mississippi. Julie Flanagan and Kelly Haggard directed the pageant which was emceed by Hank Flick, Professor of Communications at MSU. As the audience relaxed to view the beauties and enjoy the melo- dies of Standing on the Corner, If Ever I Would Leave You, Younger than Spring Time, and others, judges narrowed the slate to a Miss Reveille and four beauties. Ally Justis, a sophomore from Nashville, Tennessee, was selected as the 1979 Miss Reveille. Beth Crook of Amory, Kathy Pyatt of Columbus, Bette Ronan of Memphis, Tennessee, and Judy Wildmon of Tupelo, were selected as beauties. m Miss Reveille Pageot 1 69 170 The Elect I ' ll always have maroon blood, said Steve Grafton, a 21 -year-old political science and communica- tions major from Pascagoula MSU is my home. Steve, president of the Student Association, said that being elected Mr. MSU was important to him because it was a great honor and a vote of confidence. Steve has learned at MSU to share responsibility and to expect that some people aren ' t going to like him. The election controversy last spring really floored me when I read that I was pulling the holy wool c Baptist Student Union ' s eyes ' , he said. Steve ' s ambitions are to serve Christ and to have a 3-year-old daughter. I love little girls, he said. Cynthia Sidney proves that any- one can be who they want to be at MSU. The atmosphere on this campus is very open and friendly, she said. You don ' t have to be a member of one group to have a lot of friends, to be accepted by everybody, including members of the administration. Cynthia, a senior computer science major from Greenville, hopes to get a job with a large firm so she can work with many people. I love meeting and knowing all kinds of people, she said. I believe in honesty and openness, and I always want to make people happy. Mr. and Miss MSU 1 71 c oniEcominq jg w, ith cowbells ringing and voices cheering, the sta- dium was filled with excited and enthusiastic students, alumni, and devoted MSU supporters. Sunshine and crisp- ness filled the air to make the October 27th celebration a successful event. To complement such a lovely afternoon was the beautiful Homecoming Queen Janet Culliver and her court. Pre-game activities included the crowning of Miss Culliver and a presentation of a dozen yellow roses by SA President Steve Grafton. Twenty-two-year-old Janet Culliver reigned with a glow- ing spirit and an affectionate heart. Cherished by the MSU student body, Miss Culliver is a bright-eyed young lady from Jackson, Mississippi. An inspiring member of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, Janet enjoys spending her free time singing and playing the piano.

This communications major was a member of Delta Gamma Sorority, ODK, Centennial Honorary, and Scotch Guard. It ' s hard to imagine that my four years at MSU have almost come to a close when someone asks what MSU means to me. I ' d have to say opportunity. At MSU, our ave- nues of fulfillment are many. I ' m grateful for these opportunities. The nominees were rated on the basis of their leadership and participa- tion in activities and their service to the college and community. The results of these ratings were totaled and the fifty persons with the highest ratings were chosen for the 1980 Who ' s Who. DONNA BARKLEY, from New Albany was a member of Delta Gamma Sorority, Scotch Guard, and the UPC Entertainment Committee. The pre-nursing major was a Dean ' s List scholar and a member of Lambda Sigma and Cardinal Key honorar- ies. MSU has meant making new friends as well as becoming involved in many campus activities. Nothing could ever replace the time that I have spent here. EVELYN MAGEE, from Jackson, was a Dean ' s List Scholar, a member of Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority and Scotch Guard This Marketing major was the UPC Holiday Entertainment Chairman, a member of the MSU Roadrunners, and a member of the President ' s Committee for the Commission on the Status of Women When I was considering where to go to college, no other school came to mind except MSU Due to the experiences I ' ve had in the three years I ' ve been at State, I can honestly say I made the right choice. I ' ve learned much through my courses, but I feel that my extracurricular activities have taught me more about people and life in general than I could have ever learned in a textbook. I have made so many friends here and I ' ll always treasure them. Through my experiences at State I have grown not only academically, but also emotionally and spiritually. . .Z$ JvP tj { - =itWB jfi i 3 4 mfc ' ' $ WJ -m ■ 1 WALTER OWEN, a mechanical engineer- ing major, was a member of Theta Tau Pro- fessional Engineering Fraternity, the National Society of Pro Engineers, and ASME.

I ' ve made time for many outside activities through which I have learned more than I could ever have been taught in the classroom. State ' s peo- ple are the best in the world, and I have always found a smiling face to speak to. CATHY HAMILTON, a native of Flora, was a member of Kappa Delta Sorority where she served as Social Chairman. The pre-med zoology major was also a Presi- dent ' s List scholar and was president of the Centennial Honor Society. My four years at MSU have been the best years of my life. I believe that getting involved in various activities has given me the initiative to make the most out of my college career. As a pre-med student I have had to spend many hours in the scholastic environment, but I have learned just as much through my extra activities. I am very thankful I shall always be able to look back upon and remember the good times and friends I have had at MSU. CHARLIE ARTMANN was a charter mem- ber of the MSU Chapter of the National Residence Hall Honorary and a member of the MSU bowling team. The pest manage- ment major was also the president of the Plant Pathology and Weed Science Club. At the beginning of my junior year I decided to become involved in this univer- sity.

Thank you, MSU for showing me a life not found elsewhere. KYLE BALL, a Senior in Biological Edu- cation, was the president of Alpha Lambda Delta and Alpha Epsilon Delta. He was a member of the SAE fraternity, Blue Key, and ODK. My four years at MSU have been a very educational experience for me, academi- cally and socially as well. The college expe- rience is not solely discovered through books because so much of what you learn is from your interactions with other people. These honors have all been very gratifying for me personally, and I hope to become successful in the field of medicine. My greatest strength comes from the knowl- edge that everything I am and ever hope to become I owe to my maker, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the realization of this fact that puts all of these accomplishments in their proper perspective.

MSU has so much more to offer than just academics. College life is what you make it, but college life can also make you.

I have done a lot of growing at MSU, not just educationally, but as a total person. I have had the opportunity to gain many new friendships and experiences that have been so special to me. JANET ANN WATSON, a Special Educa- tion major, was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority, Cardinal Key, Lambda Sigma, and was vice-president of Pi Lambda Theta. I ' m proud to say I ' m a student at MSU. I think it is a progressive university which is constantly improving. MSU truly has a noble past and a promising future, ' and I am glad to be a part of it. I ' m thankful to my parents and to God for making it possible. Who ' s Who 177 Who ' s Who ( GINA MAZZANTI, from Lake Village, AK, was Secretary of Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority and Vice Commander of Scotch Guard. ■ The accounting major was also a member of Cardinal Key, Compass Club, MSU Roa- drunners, and a Rush Counselor. By being an out-of-state student I had many apprehensions about attending MSU. Now I have grown to feel at home due to the hospitality and friendly atmosphere. I hope that I will hold the spirit and high ide- als that I have acquired while being here. FRANK E. PURYEAR, JR., a Junior in Accounting, was the Chairman of S.D. Lee Honors Council, a member of Roadrun- ners, and UPC. He was also chairman of the Lectern Committee and a member of Alpha Kappa Psi. My years at MSU have been those of learning and fun. In addition, my participa- tion in extracurricular activities has also been a very vital part of my education. The students and faculty here at State have been really super. MARY JANE WOOTEN, a graduate stu- dent of MPPA, was the President of Kappa Delta Sorority, member of Scotch Guard and Young Democrats. She was also a member of American Society for Public ! Administration. MSU has provided me with the opportu- nities to meet all types of people and to approach new and more difficult chal- lenges. Most important has been the chance to grow. This growth has been enhanced by friends and faculty members who are interested and supportive. These things are undoubtedly found here at MSU. BONNIE BOOZER, was director of Music Maker Productions, and the Student Repre- sentative for the NECAA SE Region Steerup Committee. I have had the pleasure of supervising a group of hard-working dedicated students in bringing to the students MSU ' s most suc- cessful concert season. Thru this capacity I have also had the chance to discover how really supportive MSU ' s Administration and personnel are of the students. KIM MOSLEY, from Meridian, is an Accounting major. She was the social chairman for Zeta Tau Alpha, a member of Scotch Guard, Roadrunner ' s Recruiting team, and Cardinal Key. She was also a Sigma Alpha Epsilon little sister. While I have been at MSU, I have really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, the activi- ties, and the new friends. I believe that my participation at MSU has helped me to grow as a person, and it will help me in my future. I am really excited about the new school of Accounting at MSU. I feel that this will be a tremendous asset towards my future goals. DAWN LATHAM, a Junior majoring in Med-Tech, was the Director of Student Activities, Pres. of Cardinal Key, and a member of Scotch Guard. My MSU experience has been like a multi-colored tapestry. Each aspect of my life here has added a different dimension to this tapestry. The extra curricular activities I have been involved in, and the lessons in working with various personalities that I have learned through these activities, have added one bright colored thread. The satis- faction of attaining new knowledge from my classes has added a second color to this tapestry. But what makes this tapestry uni- que is its design. The faculty and staff and their willingness to share their time, energy, and wisdom with me has added a beauty to the design that cannot be equaled any- where. And, the friends I have made here have added the final threads to the tapes- try. The memories and relationships we have shared give the design a true lasting quality. These threads and this design have been woven together here at MSU to pro- vide me with a priceless tapestry that I will cherish forever. CHERYL SIDNEY, a Junior from Green- ville, was Director of Pledge Programming for Zeta Tau Alpha, an MSU cheerleader, Cardinal Key Sec.-Tres., and a member of Angel Flight. She was also selected Out- standing Freshman in 1977. Active student participation with opti- mistic attitudes has led MSU toward being a No. 1 university. With this air of optimism, I have had the opportunity to confront with a burst of energy each challenge and task, whether they be academic or extracurricu- lar. Enhanced by an atmosphere of involve- ment, zest, and concern for others, I will forever believe in the MSU Bulldog Spirit! KYLE BATEMAN, a Senior in Chemistry, was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Delta, and the IFC. Kyle was also in the Order of Omega and ODK honoraries. What I am proud of most at MSU is its friendli- ness. This makes State stand above all other schools. With the opportunities to be involved in campus life, social events, intramurals, etc. I have been able to develop leadership abilities which will help me tremendously throughout EILEEN POLLITT, a music education major, served as Secretary for the Buena Vista a capella choir and as squad leader for the MSU Maroon Band. She was also a member of Alpha Mu Omega and Sigma Alpha lota. The most pleasing thing to me has been the high caliber of the teachers, especially the music faculty. I will always cherish the friendships I ' ve made, along with the mem- ories of marching in the Famous Maroon Band and singing with the Madrigals. SUZANNE RAWLS, from Tupelo, was a member of Phi Mu Sorority, SAE Little Sis- ter, Kappa Delta Pi, and Phi Alpha Theta. She was a Dean ' s and President ' s list scholar for three years. I came to State because of the friendly atmosphere, smiling faces, and the memo- ries that will never be forgotten. From foot- ball games and pep rallies to formals and Left-field lounge, I will always be proud to have been a part of MSU. «- I I JEFFREY W. YEATES, a business man- agement major, served as president of the Inter-school Council and of the College of Business and Industry. He was a member of Phi Gamma Delta and a Dean ' s Scholar. College has prepared me to meet the professional challenges of the real world; God has equipped me to meet the personal challenges of every tomorrow. The memo- ries of the years past will ever be etched upon my mind — Thanks MSU! KELLI MANSEL, a Senior in Ed. Psychol- ogy, was President of Delta Gamma Soror- ity and VP of Cardinal Key. The education psychology major was also a member of ODK and Order of Omega. MSU has given me many things. Most importantly, it has supplied a place, an atmosphere for me to grow into a person who is not afraid to join the outside world but anxious to reflect the lessons that MSU has taught me. Thank you, MSU, for giving me friends forever, an education that is recorded in no textbook, and a place to tempt me with my first taste of life. KATHY PYATT, majoring in Petroleum Engineering, served as Standards Chair- man of Kappa Delta Sorority, President of Pi Epsilon Tau and a member of the Cen- tennial Society. She was a President ' s Scholar and was named Outstanding Freshman Woman. Participation in academic and social organizations has given me a sense of responsibility and the opportunity to make lasting ties with friends. I feel that I made a wise decision in choosing to attend MSU. Who ' s Who 179 Who ' s Who (cont.) GWEN McDILL, a Senior from Jackson was President of Panhellenic, a member of ODK, Alpha Chi Omega, and Order of Omega. The special education major also served on the SA Judicial Council My four years at MSU have been years of growth and change, but they have also been years of setting priorities and estab- lishing a definite direction for my life. MSU has given me many special experiences as well as an academic education. I have learned much about people and much about myself. JOY TATE, a resident of Jackson, was a member of Scotch Guard for two years, Compass Club, the BSU, and served as ZTA treasurer. She was also included on the Dean ' s List for four semesters. I can say that my time spent here at State has included some of the most rewarding experiences of my life. State will always be known for its friendly atmos- phere and the opportunities for academic and spiritual growth. I am grateful for all the close friendships, experiences, and oppor- tunities which have helped me grow and prepare for my future career. DONNA McGEE, from Starkville, was president of Kappa Delta Pi and SMAE This elementary education major was also a member of Centennial, ODK, and Phi Mu Sorority Success is measured differently by each individual. I agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson who defines it in the following way, ' to laugh often and much; ..to appreciate beauty; to find the best in oth- ers; . . . this is to have success. ' MSU has enabled me to prepare for the achievement of this success. Whether I pursue my plans for a teaching career or venture into some other area, I hope to convey these attitudes of success through my daily life. Wi$M $ ' • ■ B K A $ I J : I RH LESE VARDAMAN, a Pre-Med-Biochem- istry major, served as president of Phi Mu sorority and Secretary of Alpha Epsilon Delta. She participated in the S.D. Lee Hon- ors Program, was a member of Centennial, and was chosen as Starkville ' s Miss Hospi- tality. I ' m always trying to strike a balance between academic interests and outside involvements. I believe that one gets out of education only as much as one is willing to put into it, and I feel that I have obtained some quality education at MSU through my regular classwork and through my outside activities. SID SALTER, a Junior in Political Sci- ence, was an SA Executive Assistant, a member of Blue Key, and Publicity Chair- man of Pre-Law Society. He was also a Pi Sigma Alpha honorary member. I believe that a university should provide the stepping stones from potential to per- formance and MSU does just that. Yet I cannot think of our university without paus- ing to consider the thousands of men and women who believed that a college educa- tion was a privilege worthy of great sacri- fice. My parents are alumni of this fine insti- tution. I am so very proud to follow here in their footsteps. NANCY RAY, a graduate student in Counseling, was a member of Phi Delta Kappa Honorary, and assistant Panhellenic advisor. She was also a member of the America Personnel and Guidance Associa- tion and advisor to Centennial. Being a Graduate Assistant for the past two years has given me many opportunities and occasions to not only participate myself in activities here at State, but also to work with the students and help them to promote their own personal and academic growth. I have been fortunate in meeting so many people who I feel have not only pro- vided great leadership for MSU but who are also very good friends. SUZANNE BLALOCK, a Jackson native, was a Dean ' s and President ' s list scholar, a member of Cardinal Key and Lambda Sigma Honoraries. The accounting major was also a member of Tri-Delta sorority, Panhellenic Social Chairman and Secre- tary. Suzanne was also a MSU Dogcatcher and a member of Phi Chi Theta. I ' ve always been a Bulldog fan, although it ' s only been these past three years that I ' ve actually been able to experi- ence and contribute to the Bulldog life. Accomplishments at MSU are not based on luck, but on the sincere hard work of hun- dreds of people who are dedicated to mak- ing and keeping State number one. MSU is loyal students, hard-working faculty, and dedicated alumni. It is a great feeling to be a part of such a super university. VICKIE SMITH, a Vicksburg native, was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority where she served as Historian Reporter. She was an MSU Diamond Girl, Sigma Chi Derby Darling, and a member of Scotch Guard. One of the main reasons I came to MSU was because of its outstanding College of Business and Industry. The high creden- tials of the College of B and I were not the only reason I came here. The campus itself is beautiful, yet more important, the stu- dents and faculty here are warm and friendly and give you a sense of feeling ' right at home. TAMRA SULLIVAN, a Junior in Distrib- utive Ed. was Treasurer of Scabbard and Blade 1979, Publicity Chairman of IRHC, and was the Program Advisor of McKee Hall. Being involved in various activities at MSU has helped me to become a better person. Most other universities do not offer half of what State has offered me. I have attained a priceless amount of personal development in my years here that will dwell in my heart forever. CYNTHIA SIDNEY, from Greenville, was the SA treasurer and a member of Zeta Tau Alpha. She served as Panhellenic VP, 1979 Rush Chairman of Rho Gamma, and acted as Business Manager of the Reveille. Cynt- hia, a Computer Science major, was also Secretary-Treasurer of the Society for Col- legiate Journalists. Looking back over the past four years, I see I have gained more friendships than I could have asked for. When I came to State as a Freshman, I was very insecure about being at college. As the years went by, I experienced much to help me become a stronger person. Being involved in extra- curricular activities helped me grow in leadership and has given me a tremendous amount of self-confidence. Thank you, MSU, for allowing me to be somebody! LINDA WHEELER, a Senior from Clinton, was SA Senior, Angel Flight Comptroller, and Pres. of the Kappa Sigma Little Sisters. She was also a member of Delta Gamma Sorority and the UPC Holiday Entertain- ment Committee. While attending MSU, I have enjoyed many academic and social opportunities. The achievement accredited to my name are to the direction and guidance of God and the assistance of my loving parents. THOMAS J. BALISTRIERI, unable to be pictured. RICHARD HYLTON, a graduate student working on his doctorate in Education, was president of Alpha Tau Alpha, State VP of the FFA-VA, and a member of Alpha Zeta. Majoring in Agricultural and Extension Ed. has provided me with many opportunities to work with youth in the training of basic agricultural skills. I have found that the most helpful part of my training in working with youth has been through my participa- tion in organizational and civic activities, especially those relating to my field.

I he familiar sound of sports resounds from the unsinkable Bob Hartley as he answers a plea for assistance from his office in the Sports Information Department. A behind-the-scenes publicist for the Missis- sippi State Athletic Department since the mid-40 ' s, Hartley has combined his versatile writing skills w ith a love for sports to main- tain one of the most efficient and accommo- dating sports information departments in the nation. Prior to assuming the Assistant Athletic Director ' s role in Feb. 1978, the former pres- ident of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) in 1962-63 was SID at State from 1946-78. During his tenure the personable Meridian native won the coveted Arch Award as SID of the Year in ' 76, and was selectd as a member of the NCAA Public Relations Committee as well as the U.S. Basketball Writers Board of Directors. Not even triple bypass heart surgery in November could sidleine the tireless Hartley for long. He returned to work full time in Jan- uary. And you ' ll find no regrets from the long time professional. It ' s been a 33-year labor of love and the association with all my colleagues and athletes has been most rewarding, the silver-haired journalist said. A visit to the Sports Information office quickly makes it apparent why the hectic sports schedules of MSU ' s athletic squads are handled with such precision. As a result of Hartley ' s undying enthu- siasm and devotion to work he so dearly loves, Mississippi State has been made a better place. Thanks, Mr. Hartley, for a job well done. Bulldog Club proves invaluable to Athletic Department Who contributed $675,000 to help fund the Physical Fitness Complex in only its fifth year of existence? This accom- plishment along with many other duties within the scope of the athletic program is the reason for the Bulldog Club, Inc. According to Executive Director Molly Halbert, the organization ' s purpose is to establish and maintain scholarship funds for student athletes at Mississippi State and to promote capital improve- ment in the program. Halbert revealed there are presently 4200 making contributions to the athletic program through the non-profit Bulldog ice of the Bulldogs emplifies professionalism to,, ssissippi State athletics experi- ;ed a lot of change over the year.

Behind the mike the last 26 years, Cristil has become te ' s most recognizable sports figure. Iristil says broadcasting is the only thing has ever wanted to do, but adds, I have idea if I ' ll be working from one year to the ct. Chances are he will. When I go on the air I try to act profes- nally and represent the University, the 3, those kids on the field and their par- s back home. I ' m not a cheerleader like ne broadcasters.

As a result of consistent giving in the most recent past, Halbert, who has been associ- ated with Mississippi State since his football and baseball playing days of the late fifties, anticipates the Bulldog Club being able to fund every scholarship given by the Athletic Department in the very near future. Ath- letics would then be, in effect, self-support- ing. That, said Herbert, would be the great- est contribution we could make to the uni- versity. On the Inside 1 8 ' On the Insid Gridders face obstacles with gut-level courage and faill A Diminutive junior Doug Smothers did not let his stature interfere with his athletic pursuits. The 5-4 dynamo walked on to the ' 79 team following a two-year stint as an MSU manager. l oug Smothers is the little guy with t big heart. At 5-4 and 135 pounds, though contends he is a heftier 142, Smothers thought to be the smallest player in colle-i football. Against his bigger and stronger Miss: sippi State teammates, the former thre year grid letterman at Vicksburg High is best disadvantaged. And as if the roa wasn ' t tough enough, he vies for a startii, berth against everyone ' s All-American M; dye McDole. But there is no hesitation in his voice his step; he talks and he plays with con dence, poise, and dignity. Coach Emory B lard has called him a fighter. There is 1 better description. Daily practices until dusk and beyond a gueling experiences for the beefy linenm! and the angular gazelles of the backfiei! but being belted by those nearly twice yo! size seems almost psychotic. Smothe: does not agree. The goal in my heart and mind is to pl| bigger than I am, says the heady compe tor, who was a football manager at MS since his freshman and sophomore year Now a junior, Smothers, nickname Smugs, recalls his reasons for giving tr college game a try. Being around the guv at practice all the time as a manager got be very frustrating; it just wasn ' t me dow inside. I knew then it was going to be a chc lenge. But I had been lifting weights and started to gain a little bit. My Mom and talked it over and she told me to live day t day and that the Lord would be on my side. Inspired by emotional and spiritual dete mination, Smothers elected to quit as manager and forfeit a full ride scholarsh for the rigors of disciplined and brutal trail ing with no guarantee of making the tear Although he hasn ' t set any school or confe ence records in his first season as a Bu dog, the dynamic number 81 made the tra eling squad for State ' s season opem against Memphis State in Jackson ar returned kickoffs and punts in the Maroc and White ' s 48-0 win over Marshall. Mon over, Smothers says he has no regrets II his decision and plans to go out again ne year and concentrate on specialty tea! play. I haven ' t played as much as I wanted remarked Smothers, but I think I made point to myself ... I ' m not a quitter: I dor give up. I rior to the 1979 football season, Curtis was preparing for another season just i his teammates. However, due to an ;le injury, the former Lanier High stand- missed most of Emory Bellard ' s initial ing session at State. ven though the linebacker lost valuable erience, he spent the summer lifting ghts and running, and added ten pounds lis already muscular 210-pound frame, in, a catastrophe occurred. Due to a irt condition, Hill almost died. I had been having minor chest pains, said. Then one morning I was eating akfast and all of a sudden I had terrible is all across my chest. I could hardly athe. I thought I was having a heart ick. he preliminary diagnosis showed that had ripped his :hest muscles while lift- weights. Following two weeks of con- nt bed rest, however, Hill had lost 26 inds and was still suffering from extreme )st pains. ,fter a visit to anolher doctor, Jon Meyer, Baptist Hospital ; n Jackson, Hill found t an abnormal amount of fluid had sur- nded his heart. lill spent nine days in the hospital while imical treatments were used to drain the j, which had been caused by a virus, ct followed the strenuous work it took to lace the lost weight and practice time ! to the heart condition. Hill was unable to ticipate in scrimmage again until August hence he had only 1 1 days until the Bull- is ' opening game with Memphis State on September 8. But through hard work and his even stronger belief in the Lord, Hill made the rapid progression it took to ready him- self for the 1 979 Bulldog season. In the first two games, State lost two mid- dle linebackers to injuries and Curtis Hill was expected to perform up to proper capacity, despite his lack of playing time at the position. He had normally been an out- side linebacker. It definitely took some hard work to get myself ready, Hill said. When Johnny (Cooks) and Bo (Robertson) got hurt, I still had to beat out Ricky (Williams) for the job. I accomplished that in practice. Through the next eight games and prior to the finale against Mississippi, Hill made 58 solo tackles, 56 assists and three quarter- back sacks for a minus six yards. I had been looking for an opportunity like this for a long time, Hill said. I wondered if I could really handle it, considering every- thing that had happened. But once I got in there, everything fell into place. I learned a lot about myself throughout this season. I ' ve put a lot of things in order. The whole experience drew me closer to Jesus. The entire change of events was not only beneficial to Hill, but to everyone he came in contact with. To see a person come through such a crisis with everything pointing up, it is evident that all the hard work was worth it. Curtis Hill spells out persistence and class. For him, the two qualities are insepar- able. An aggressive Curtis Hill (52) is Johnny on the spot as he pounces on an Ole Miss fumble in the Bull- dogs ' season finale with the Rebels Hill, who suffered a serious ailment prior to the season, quickly recovered to anchor the Bulldogs ' 4-3 defense. What could have bee 1 Frustration reigns suprem far right: The game of football often produces an emotional response from the men who play it; such is the case for MSU defensive end Tyrone Keys, after his team suf- fered a defeat to nationally-ranked Auburn Cmory Bellard, with a characteristic pipe in his right hand and a legal pad in his left, pondered the plight of his mysterious Mis- sissippi State football program. He was a portrait of intense concentration. His first season proved a rather inauspi- cious beginning. Five losing efforts con- cluded a 3-8 campaign. Victories over win- less Florida, Bluebonnet Bowl participant Tennessee, and pathetic Marshall were little consolation. Frustration and disappointment reappeared like unwelcomed inlaws. The Maroon and White ' s stretch run, coined Murderer ' s Row was exactly that. Suc- cessive conference losses to Alabama (24- 7), Auburn (14-3), LSU (21-3), and Ole Miss (14-9) turned a mediocre season into a poor one. Nevertheless, the distinguished Texan believes his Bulldogs were beaten by only one team that was better, Alabama. A new system and unparalleled injuries were good alibis, but not really the answer. Bellard explained. We created a situation in every game above: A pair of Stetson-clad MSU co-eds join in the hoopla as their fellow partisans celebrate the Bull- dogs ' 28-9 dismantling of the Big Orange in Memphis, right: A mem- ber of the Marshall Thundering Herd defense arrives a bit late to stop a Robbie Mink pitch to fullback Jessie Maxwell as the run-oriented Maroon and White cruised to their third and final win over Coach Sonny Randall ' s outmanned grid- ders The Unsung Heroes ain or shine, win or lose, they remain dedicated.

I felt like I was making a contribution. For the trainers, who use miles of tape in the course of a sea- son, the story is much the same, long hours and little recogni- tion. However, the Athletic Department awards the student manager and trainer with a degree of compensation On the basis of a quarter scholarship for each year worked the individual is capable of earning a full ride scholarship in his or her senior year at State One such example is trainer Steve Lewis, a Laurel native. Lewis, like his cohorts Ed Wolverton, Chuck Caraker, Ronie Stephens, Michael Dent, Gene Bobo, Perry Hendrix, Shawn Malone, Lynn Parnell, Jerry Foster, and Mike McCullough attended primarily to the taping and treatment needs of the individual player Under the auspices of Head Trainer Mark Stephens and long- time assistant Straton Karatassos, the group taped every play- er ' s ankles before practice and game outings and hands and knees and other specific areas which required attention. On a fall Saturday away from Starkville and Scott Field, Lewis said the players are taped following the team meal in the dining room while only minor details are attended to at the stadium In all, it ' s been a good experience It made me feel like a part of the team, Lewis said in retrospect The men that play the game agreed we couldn ' t do it without them Linebacker Ricky Wil- liams is temporarily repaired by trainer Shawn Malone during MSU ' s 48-0 rout of Marshall.

Despite those good efforts, Mississippi State fell to 3-8 on the year. Kenny Johnson, a four-year standout at free safety, viewed the campaign differently than most. I really don ' t regret anything — we had a good season, offered Johnson, MSU ' s leading tackier in 1979. It wasn ' t what everybody thought it would be, but we had a lot of people getting hurt. We still had a productive year. It was a super year for me, understated Johnson.

Emory Bellard trekked eastward to Moo U. and brought with him his own offensive package, the Wishbone. Bellard is a proud man, proud of his offensive philosophy, proud of its effectiveness. 79 must have been an appalling year for the proud papa of the ground-gobbling for- mation. Imagine the Alka-Seltzer it took to choke down a whole season of impotence on offense. Not that Mississippi State didn ' t move the ball, they did. But only to the five and the ten and the 12 and the 15 and vari- ous and sundry locations where impressive infantry drives were stalled.

Post game comments m Bellard soon sounded like a taped ;ording. We had the opportunitie s, he luld say. But we couldn ' t make the plays take advantage of them. Same song, the verses went on forever. The tune was a recurring nightmare for the Bulldogs in 79. Another factor hung over the Bulldogs like a plague, one which can destory a team faster than a shellacking from its arch-rival. It was the injury, and it destroyed Mississippi State. Like so many other Bulldog backs, James Jones fell victim to injury in 1979. A collision with a Tennessee opponent (see graphic below), left the Vicksburg speedster hob- bled on crutches for the remainder of the season. 202 yards rushing is all he can show for his final campaign, compared to 687 as a junior and 400 as a sophomore. Similarly, ball-toting standouts Len Cope- land and James Otis Doss also succumbed to the unfortunate jinx. Center Bill Bell and middle linebacker Johnie Cooks were lost for the season with knee ailments. The pair saw action only once.

While at the week-long camp, the group was instructed in the finer points of double stunts, pyramids, chants, spirit raising ideas, and mascot training. For their efforts, the MSU representatives were awarded superior ribbons in all phases of the sport, including a first place showing in sideline chant, and finalist recognition for pompom routine and fight song. In addition, the group brought home a spirit stick in the cheer competition. Head Cheerleader Bob Lemmons, also known as Bully, received superior and excellent ribbons and a spirit stick during the mascot competition. As the football season approached and passed, the trim girls and muscular guys continued to endeavor up to 15 hours per week, including travel, as they did through- out the basketball campaign.

It is a week of hours and hours of playing and marching in the sort of temperatures which have made the manufacturers of air condi- tioners very rich men.

After football season the Maroon Band continued to perform, marching in the Starkville Christmas Parade and Governor William Winter ' s Inaugural Parade in Jack- son in January. In the spring semester the Band members auditioned for placement in either the Symphonic Band or the Concert Band. Both groups played a number of cam- pus concerts and performed at the New Materials Clinic. The Symphonic Band took its annual tour during late March. Dr. Sills was in charge of the Band ' s two jazz groups, Stage Band A and Stage Band B. Both groups played concerts on campus and alternated performing at all home basketball games.

Il the physical and emotional ele- ments of sport were present in the first half of the Bulldogs ' less than predictable bas- ketball season. Through 21 games, the Maroon and White were up and down and up again. The record reeked with inconsistency at 1 1 -1 0. There were heroes and goats, wins and losses, togetherness and internal strife. After racing to a 10-3 start, including a championship in the first annual Babe McCarthy Invitational Tournament and a 3-0 mark to lead the Southeastern Conference, Elusive Randy Jordan got underneath the AubU Tiger zone defense to record this layup. the once healthy Dogs came up with a extreme case of vitamin deficiency. The gospel according to Head Coad Jim Hatfield echoed these sentiments. Our season has been one of ups an downs. It ' s been one that seen a lot young people gain some experience | collegiate basketball. We had many new players, both frest men and transfers who were trying | blend in together. We ' ve played very very good baske ball at times, and at times we ' ve m played very well. That inconsistency is brought abo because of a lack of experience andi lack of maturity. Controversy rocks program Seasoned Hatfield overcomes adversity Appropriately, maybe, he seemed composed. The state-wide press was dogging Jim Hatfield and his quickly dwindling personnel known as a team. A Jackson columnist said the program was hanging together by a thread. The malcontents numbered six. The losing streak was ballooning at seven. A road trip to Athens, Ga. was next in view. But the basketball coaching son of a Baptist minister didn ' t seem disturbed. Hatfield, 35, had engulfed himself in the game since th e age of eight. Coaching-wise, he came up through the ranks. A high school job in Orlando, Fla., then on to the big time. First as an assistant at Birmingham Southern under Murray Arnold, who he would later bring to MSU in the same capacity. Then Kentucky ' s Joe B. Hall beckoned him. He grew up fast in Blue Grass country. Basketball is life or death to those who cheer the Wildcats. And fittingly enough, a head coaching position, and a challenging one for the former Tennessee high school and college (East Tennessee State) standout. During the year I took the job at the University of Southwestern Louisiana, he recalled, they were still on probation, 127 violations. The pro- gram had been suspended In the second year of the probationary period Hatfield had an opportunity to travel the country. It was a very beneficial year for me . . . watch- ing people play, recruiting players, spending time at different programs and I was fortunate enough to be able to spend more time with Coach Wooden at UCLA during his last year. Wooden, as in John, was the architect of 10 NCAA championships at the Los Angeles institu- tion. The time with him was so beneficial from a learning standpoint, ' ' Hatfield said. I gained exposure to so many different philosophies and approaches to basketball. As a result, he totally rebuilt Southwestern Loui- siana ' s program into national contention in a span of three years. Let the record show, 7-19 in 1975- 76, 21-8 in 1976-77, and 19-8 in 1977-78. And finally to Starkville. A 19-9 season and MSU ' s first ever bid to the National Invitation Tour- nament in 1978-79. Hatfield was indeed, well bred. Perhaps then, this was the reason for his composure. This road had been traveled before. above: Bully, Auburn ' s Frank Poin- dexter, and State ' s Jeff Malone exchange post-game pleasantries. far left: States Rickey Brown appears to have won the tap against the visitor ' s Earl Banks (44). left: Second year Bulldog mentor Jim Hatfield, complete with check- ered sport coat, lectures his atten- tive Bulldogs in the virtues of the half court trap during a brief time- Controversy rocks program Fast out of the blocks, but slow down the stretch. far right: High-flying freshman Spencer Richardson anguishes in early action against Morehead State of Kentucky right: Former point guard Kent Looney and junior Greg Grim trap an opponent in front of the Bulldog bench, below: Under the direction of Dr. Kent Sills, Stage Band A adds a musical flavor to the festivities at the jam-packed Humphrey Coliseum.

A home setback to the then league-lead- ing Tennessee Volunteers before a regional television audience started the January tailspin. Despite the rebounding of national leader Rickey Brown, the shooting of freshman Jeff Malone, and the emergence of fellow frosh Kalpatrick Wells at the post, bad times con- tinued. In addition, the squad was depleted by voluntary walk-outs and dismissals.

Junior Buddy Payne, freshman Spencer Richardson, walk-on Emmitt Johnson, transfer Kent Looney, and transfer Bill Fisher followed in succession. What was once 1 6 became 1 0. I think anybody is naive to think they won ' t have players who will leave, or quit for lack of playing time, Hatfield continued. And you are naive if you don ' t think you will have to dismiss somebody from time to time for whatever reasons. If you look around the SEC, you see at every program, Kentucky, LSU, Alabama, and Ole Miss, that same attrition takes place. And ours is perhaps brought to light this year because our loss of players occurred simultaneously with our losing. But ours is no different than other schools.

It ' s a league where there is enough balance, that if you get right up here (mentally) and you get the confidence flowing and come together and get the breaks, then anybody can win.

NBA is just a step away Every paper in the South has extolled the virtues of Rickey Brown. The pro scouts from Atlanta to Seattle agree he is a bonaf- ide NBA prospect, but what is MSU ' s Mr. Basketball really like behind the paper clip- pings and the impressed observers. In direct contrast to his rather outgoing behavior on the floor, Brown is soft-spoken and dreadfully humble off the playing sur- face. His condition is somewhat strange con- sidering his limitless opportunities for self- admiration. Having led the nation in rebounding for most of the season, the 6-10 Brown has been at the forefront of collegiate basket- ball. His 20 point scoring average placed him second in the Southeastern Conference and made him a dominating force at both ends of the floor. 4: When I was young I used to hang o with a lot of older guys to get the garr down more complete, Brown said. I guess when I was in the ninth grade knew I was going to be a good play because that year I played on the varsi team. I knew then I had a little extra taler than most of the other guys.

Success bred success, and Polk ' s relentless diamondmen would settle for nothing less than . . A trip to Omaha V together ... we had a real good attitude. Head Coach Ron Polk agreed. An important factor in obtaining success is not only having ability, but jell- ing together with the proper personality.

Fourteen years of dedicated involvement later, the youthful coach has maintained his incessant fervor for the game. Since arriving at Mississippi State in 1975, the 35-year-old mentor has set and re-set the national record for season ticket sales in college baseball. Polk ' s most recent diamond crew finished fifth in the nation, concluding a record-shat- tering season. School and conference marks alike were buried as Polk ' s fourth Bulldog edition posted a 48-12 overall worksheet, including a trip to the prestigious College Baseball World Series. To appreciate the accomplishments more keenly, however, it is important to realize that MSU ' s baseball fortunes have not always been the school ' s source or pride. The Boston-born and Phoenix-bred dynamic Polk revamped a sagging diamond program with what he described as extremely long hours. At Georgia Southern (1972-75), said Polk, we had to do the same thing — we felt the only way to have a winning team was to bring in quality kids and give them a first class baseball program. Where did he find quality kids? We went into the hotbeds of college baseball across the country, primarily Flo- rida. A pin-marked map keeps Polk abreast on the locations of his prospects. He is the Lou Holtz of college baseball. He speaks, they follow. He humbly explains, I enjoy everything about being around col- lege guys who are non-professionals striv- ing to become better players and better people. Those players helped Polk earn 1979 SEC and Southern Regional Coach of the Year honors. His success has even mushroomed into the production of a book, which has been adopted by over 200 colleges as a text for coaching baseball classes. I want to continue to build a program second to none in the South, he maintains. Knowing Ron Polk, it ' s a sure bet, for wanting and doing are synonymous. Freshman Steve Susce worked his way into the rotation in this action against St. Olaf of Minnesota. u % Ron Polk Interview 221 A Trip to Omahc Conference and regional foes alike fell in the Bulldogs stampede to national stardom.

The Maroon and White finished the regular season with an incomparable 17-2 worksheet among Western Division foes. The first place divisional finish enabled MSU to host the spine-tingling Southeastern Confer- ence tournament at Dudy Noble Field. Clutch play involving late inning heroics carried the rampaging hosts past Kentucky, LSU, and Florida to their first con- ference pennant since 1971 . For their efforts, the upstart Maroons flooded the all league squad. Rightfielder Bobby Kocol, an All-Ameri- can academician, catcher John McDonald, southpaw Kenny Kurtz, and the gazelle-like Kelly, who set or tied 1 7 conference marks and 26 school records while bat- ting .400, were tabbed as All-Southeastern Conference. It was only the beginning, though. Tulane, the Univer- sity of New Orleans, and Murray State also found the confident Starkvillians too hot to handle.

Remind you of the date with the Homecoming Queen who had to be in by 9:30 p.m.? Nevertheless, Hunt ' s 79 edition, his last after seven years at the Bulldog helm, won the MSU Indoor Classic among 32 teams but had little to brag about follow- ing the season-opening performance. The colorful State graduate, a former thinclad of considerable fame in view of his unchallenged school standards in the mile and two-mile events, still wonders if that old coach ' s bug-a-boo, injuries, turned a fruitful season into one of fam- ine. The injury situation got to the point we could not make the caliber of effort we were used to and we just had to back off, recalls the proven leader. While commander in chief of Bulldog track for- tunes, Hunt ' s squads were used to competing in the nation ' s most presti- gious events.

Despite a disappointing eighth place nish in the Southeastern Conference leet held in Tuscaloosa, State abounded for a respectable showing in le NCAA Outdoor championships. Its tie r ,22nd enabled State to lengthen its treak to four years with a finish of 26th or etter, in the top meet among collegians. However, those showings have been no accident. The accomplishments of bonafide Ail-Americans Lee Palles, Evis Jennings, Seigha Porbeni, Carl Mose, and Dennis Otono, have kept Mississippi State on the nation ' s track map in recent years. Miraculous is the way Hunt describes the quintet ' s feats in view of the poor track environment. They are as fine as any athletes anywhere in the United States.

Meanwhile, Mose, also a member of the 79 contingent and Jennings, a ' 68 gradu- ate have been responsible for State ' s acclaim in the quarter-mile forum, while Porbeni, a triple jump specialist, and Palles, the 1978 NCAA Outdoor decath- lon runnerup have lent strength to the field events. Jennings and Palles are 1980 Olympic hopefuls. Though four of the five have departed the Starkville campus, the MSU track pic- ture looks amazingly bright. Athletic Director Carl Maddox, who added a mod- ern track facility during his tenure at LSU, has begun to upgrade State ' s sagging physical facilities. Construction of a new synthetic track, to be located north of the Physical Fitness Complex and parallel to Highway 82, is already in the works. I think you will see a tremendous turn around in the program, remarked a prophetic Hunt. Coach Kitchens is an excellent coach and they ' ve got a good nucleus. And at long last, Mississippi State will have that track it has needed so desper- ately.

The first week I was homesick But now I have a lot of friends and feel at home here One of the top-ranked junior players in Brazil as a high school senior, Martins first came in contact with MSU when approached by Tommy Tann, a State alum- nus from Jackson. At the request of Coach Baxter, Tann made an unscheduled swing through Brazil on his South Ameri- can vacation and saw Martins play Following that initial encounter, Baxter saw Martins play in the Orange Bowl Classic and was convinced of his prowess on the tennis court. Martins was interested in other schools but felt he would have a better shot at playing the No 1 position at State Teams like USC and UCLA have very good teams, but I like to play No. 1 here instead of maybe No 6 Bulldog fans are certainly pleased with his decision after the personable Brazilian became the Dogs ' first entrant in the NCAA ' s since 1968. right: New Orleans sophomore Shelby Ware overcame back problems in 78 to register a sterling 28-5 singles mark first row, I to r: Alex Zalesky, Eleuterio Martins, second Allen Crowe, Jim Harris, Mark Thompson, row: Coach Heino Lents, Barry Losson, Shelby Ware, Chris Baxter. top: Freshman sensation Eleuterio Martins, the Bulldogs ' No. 1 singles competitor, became Mississippi State ' s first entrant into the NCAA playoffs since 1968. below: One of the finest players produced within the state in recent years, Jackson ' s Mark Thompson, strokes an over- head during action on the MSU courts. _...

Bubba was one of the most talented players I have ever coached, said Moore. I think his qualifying for the NCAA was the highlight of his playing career and my coaching career. In addition, the Tupelo native molded his driving and putting talents with the likes of seniors Jerry Keilch (75.2) and walk-on Mar- vin Gray (76.7) to form State ' s most consist- ent trio through the rugged ' 79 spring schedule. With the arrival of fall and the ranks depleted by graduation, first year coach Gary (Doc) Meredith, formerly of Furman University, had to call on the likes of lone senior Bubba Holloway, and four inexperi- enced sophomores, including Ken McDonald, Max Maxwell, Doug Allen, and Billy Joe Dottley to compete in the abbrevi- ated two-tourney slate. Disappointing finishes in the Southern Mississippi-Broadwater Beach Invitational (13th among 16 teams) and third among six teams in the annual Mississippi Intercollegi- ate have not dimmed Meredith ' s hopes for the future.

As a result of the large numbers and the diverse interests, intramurals serve as a melting pot, uniting the Greek and inde- pendent, the black and white, men and women, in an arena so desperately needed. Teams like the Charlie Brown All-Stars, Sigma Chi No. 1, the Jabods, E. J. Assas- sins, Chi Omega, and WKYA are evidence of the hard work and long hours which yield success. Other squads not so highly rated in terms of wins, but because of their unusual names and fun-loving spirit merit recogni- tion, are the In Hock Jokes, Murphy ' s Meat- grinders, Spiders from Mars, and Mother ' s Finest.

I he Mississippi State Lady Bulldogs continued in 1979-80 to provide some of the most exciting athletic action as they took on SEC and MAIAW challengers in the beautiful Humphrey Coliseum. Under the direction of third-year head coach Peggy Collins, the Lady Bulldogs went through an up-and-down season. State jumped out to an early 5-2 record, only to have a general lack of depth, injuries, and illness take a heavy toll on the season slate. All looked bright for the lady cagers, with four starters from the previous 16-14 squad returning to campus. Guards Julan Harris and Laura Springer, and forwards Vicki McCall and Melinda Dudley were joined by highly-touted junior forward transfer Mary Boatwright of Memphis, TN. The women were pitted against the tough- est schedule in school history. At one time, Mississippi State had to play eight oppo- nents who were ranked in the nation ' s top twenty listing of teams.

Boatwright: A welcomed addition i I ans and players may not have known just what to expect of Mississippi State ' s most heralded addition to the Lady Bull- dogs, but SEC coaches did. In preseason voting, junior transfer Mary Boatwright was named to the 5-member All-Conference team — before the Memphis native had ever donned the Maroon and White colors. The Boat did not fail anyone, least of all the Lady Bulldogs. To backers of MSU wom- en ' s basketball, number 00 was Number One. After only two-thirds of the season had been played, the forward had already re- written several single-season and single- game records at State. Boatwright accom- plished in 22 games what the previous record-holders took over thirty contests to do. Among her marks: most points in a sin- gle game — 35 (also a Humphrey Coliseum mark); most points in a season, 522 after 23 games; most field goals in one game, 15; and season field goals, 240 after 23 games. She set more than just Lady Bulldog standards — her impact was noticed in weekly AIAW statistics, where she took the lead midway through the season as the state ' s leading scorer. At one point, Boatwright scored over 20 points in fifteen consecutive games. Only once in the year was she held below double- figures. More amazingly, this 5 ' 8 forward led her team in rebounding, with over 7 caroms a night, and in blocked shots. Sec- ond in assists, second in steals, the Boat did it all every game. Boatwright transferred to Mississippi State from Shelby State Community Colic a Memphis junior college. While play juco ball, she was the nation ' s third-leac scorer with an average of 27 points game. She was also a High School All-Ar I ican, and played in the first prepster America Game.

Volleyball and tennis have already broken through to competition in Region III tournament play. Basketball, which shares more and more facility use, training, and scheduling with the men ' s teams, is drawing greater interest on campus and around the state. And this season marked the debut of Softball as a varsity sport, though still classi- fied officially as a club sport. Under the fifth-year direction of Women ' s Athletics Coordinator Libba Birmingham, State has grown into a respected Regional force. In basketball coach Peggy Collins and volleyball coach Gina Jacobellis, MSU has two of the most gifted tacticians of their sports. Lady Bulldog athletics also benefit from the support of Athletic Director Carl Maddox, who is determined to give State as complete a program as can be found any- where. Dedicated scholar athletes, serious coaches, professional support staff, and most of all, fans — all combine to make women ' s athletics at Mississippi State a proud part of Mississippi ' s largest univer- sity. left: Diminutive Jean Gurney, who teamed with Debbie Dotson to form an effective doubles combination, is puzzled over the judge ' s call. above: Veteran Vicki McCall gets a moment ' s rest prior to a free throw.

Appreciation Day 269 F I or the last couple of years we have tried to produce two plays each semester, said Dr. Dominic Cunnetto. As the director of the MSU Theater, the professor of com- munications is responsible for selecting and scheduling the plays produced by the Department of Communications and Black- friars Drama Society. We try to select different types of plays, and we try to have each play we produce cover a different period in history. The time from the first try-outs to the pro- duction of a play is about six to seven weeks, according to Cunnetto. That ' s with rehearsals each night, Monday through Friday. When I know there are a lot of people interested in trying-out, I try to choose a play that has a large cast. On the average we have 40 to 50 students try-out for each play. Persons trying-out are asked to read a cer- tain selection from the play. Those who do a good job are asked to come back and read for us again. The directors of the plays are usually members of the Communications Depart- ment faculty. Theater instructor Mimi Carter has directed at least one play each semes- ter for the past year and this year directed the first MSU production of the fall semes- ter, After the Rain. Working -behind stage on each play are ten to 15 students under the supervision of Technical Director Wayne Durst. Durst is in charge of designing and building the sets for each play and also supervises make-up, lighting and sound. 270 The Entertainm he Making of a Play Preparations for a play range from reading scripts to still life posing to making up. Although the audience only sees the finished product, there is much more to the play than what appears on stage opening night.

Simon ' s comedy detailed the decline and fall of Mel Edison (played by Ken Little), who finds himself in a constant struggle with life in the city of Manhattan, a contest which he is losing miserably. The apartment he and his wife Edna (Marie Lyons) share has no privacy, forcing them to overhear every detail of the lives of their neighbors. But Mel and Edna are determined not to give up the good life without a fight. Other cast members included Linda Bast, Jean Carmichael, John Jordan, Denise Mar- tin and Cassandra Heard. The play was directed by Dr. Dominic Cunnetto and the assistant director was Jimmie Canterbury. The Department of Communications and the Blackfrairs Drama Society opened their fall season with After the Rain. In the play the survivors of a flood set up a new society developed along benevolent but clearly authoritarian lines. The play was directed by Mimi Carter and the cast included George Jackson, Jamie Oakman, Sabrena Ponds, Michael Kelley and Brad Pearson. Robin Blackledge as Barbara Allen and David Maxey as John the Witch Boy were featured in Dark of the Moon. The play, based on tbe ballad, Barbara Allen, is the story of John the Witch Boy and how he wants to become a human being to win the love of Barbara Allen. But when he is trans- formed into a human, it is under the condi- tion that Barbara Allen must be faithful to him for one year or he will forfeit his human- ity. left: Mel Edison, played by Ken Lit- tle, and his wife Edna, portrayed by Marie Lyons, start together although their life is falling apart. below left: Cast members in Dark of the Moon partake in square danc- ing in a scene in the play, below: Barbara Allen, portrayed by Robin Blackledge, sings a sad folktale of a witch boy falling in love with a beautiful girl, in a scene from Dark of the Moon.

Since many of Buffett ' s songs tell of Missis- sippi and mention towns the students can relate to, they stood in line for hours to get tickets. It proved worthwhile. Buffett came on stage in a Missis- sippi State jersey to prove that he felt right at home. In accord with many of Buffett ' s songs, which speak of alcohol and getting drunk, the rum-soaked crowd appeared to be supporting Buffett ' s lyrics Opening for Buffett were the Amazing Rhythm Aces, one of the most tal- ented bands in the South.

Massey. r Musicmakers Responsible for Successful Concert Season t first glance, the job of Bonnie Boozer seems like a pretty easy one. As direc- tor of the MSU Music Makers, all she has to do is take the $30,000 per semester her organization receives from student activity fees and schedule concerts. That ' s all, really. Negotiations for booking a group at MSU begin when the Music Makers contact an act ' s agent or is contacted by that agent. The area the group is touring in figures significantly in these negotiations. It is too costly for a performer to come from one area of the nation to another for one evening, so Music Makers looks for groups which are touring the South. According to Boozer, State is a good university for bands to perform at because it is located between Memphis, New Orleans and Atlanta, prime concert performance locations. Once the contract is signed, the Music Makers begin preparing for the actual day of the concert. Advertising begins two weeks before the concert and tickets are printed and sent to the locations which handle the organization ' s ticket sales. Each band ' s road crew must do a variety of preliminary work before the band can even come on stage. Some of the pictures here show them doing such things as moving amplifiers, unloading and adjusting the lighting grid, setting up the lighting console and connecting the line power supply. These are just a few of the things the road crew is responsible for and it is largely because of them that a con- cert is a success or a failure.

Singing many of his older songs, combined with cuts from his latest album, Where I Should Be, Framp- ton proved that he has not lost his touch.

Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell continued the decade-old saga of America in the first con- cert of the fall semester in the Humphrey Coliseum. The fine set in which the band ended with an encore performance of their first big hit, A Horse with No Name, illus- trated that for now, anyway, America is aging like a bottle of fine wine. The only sour note in the concert was the attendance — only 3,116 students attended.  fr I First Homecoming Week Is a Super Celebratior It M s ississippi State: The Portrait of a Winner — with that theme in mind, MSU set out to celebrate the week of Homecoming, with all events building up to State ' s Homecoming Day football game with the University of Southern Mississippi. The Union Program Council sponsored a series of events centered around one of Ameri- ca ' s all-time winners, Superman. The events included a chance for students to be photo- graphed as the Man of Steel, a Super Cowbell contest, a Super band in the Union Lobby called The Boys from Boardtown and a showing of Superman: The Movie in the Union Ballroom. All over campus sororities, fraternities, dorms, and organizations put in a lot of late hours putting in a super effort on their Homecoming signs. The Famous Maroon Band won the organizations category, while Duggar was first among men ' s residence halls and McKee placed first among girls ' Pi Kappa Alpha placed first among fraterni- ties and Zeta Tau Alpha captured top honors in the sororities category. The non-athletic events of the week were cap- ped by a Homecoming Parade on Friday night. The Maroon Band led the way, winding around campus to a bonfire at Fraternity Row which illu- minated one of the biggest pep rallies in State history. MSU ' s own Superman, Head Coach Emory Bellard, provided the highlight of the eve- ning by praising students for having yourselves one hell of a time out here and then bringing the entire Bulldog football team on stage to lead the crowd in a round of, Do it like a Big Dog! top: The men of Suttle Hall express their feelings about Homecoming and Suttle, both of which they think are number one. middle: Certain beauties portray MSU ' s version of Southern ' s homecoming court bottom: McKee Hall, complete with a truck and balloons which say McKee Loves Dogs, join in the Homecoming fun.

I he Group — for over 50 years that name has probably been two of the most controversial words in Mississippi State Stu- dent Association politics. It was with that background that the name of The Group surfaced once again in SA elections in the spring of 1979, setting into motion one of the most controversial series of events in recent SA history. Four days after his landslide victory in the SA presidential election, Steve Grafton found his win wiped out when the SA Elec- tions Commission rescinded the election. Grafton was charged with three major cam- paign violations stemming from his alleged involvement with an illegal political organi- zation. The commission also filed similar charges against Phil Posey, who had been defeated in his bid for a second term as S, vice-president. The Judicial Council held 25 hours c hearings over three nights and called 1 8 wi nesses to determine whether The Group was in fact an illegal political organizatio and whether Grafton and Posey were guilt of the three major campaign violations wit which they had been charged. During the hearings, seven of the person named as Group members, includin Grafton, testified, and all stated that the were members of the Group. All followe Grafton ' s lead in maintaining they did nc know the organization was illegal and di not feel that it was an organization, anywa ' But on the final night of the hearing, forme student E. B. Martin testified on Grafton behalf and surprised everyone by producin and reading a copy of the Group initiation oath. The Elections Commission produced a surprise of its own when during its final arguments it asked that the charges against Grafton be reduced to minor campaign vio- lations. In its final ruling the Judicial Council tound that The Group was an illegal politi- cal organization. It also found Grafton guilty of minor campaign violations and fined him $45, but ruled that he was eligible to run in a second presidential election. In the end, Grafton won the second election by an even larger majority than he did in the first. But the questions remained. top left: Assistant Elections Com- missioner Lonny Biles reads over the transcript of the taped tele- phone conversations between Nun- nelee and Posey on the third night of the hearings.

The REFLECTOR purchased a typeset- ter and two video-display terminals for $26,000 in fall, 1979. This equip- ment considerably shortened the amount of time necessary to edit copy and complete the final drafts of each issue. The REFLECTOR ' S editor, Joe Dillon, instituted another change by creating an editorial board ' ' consisting of a varying num- ber of students who discussed campus issues and printed their compiled opinions in an editorial. Dillon ' s own editorials were often quite controversial — he wrote one editorial lashing out at Dean Behr for not seeing students after a student writer was unable to con- tact the dean about registration. Unbeknownst to Dillon, registration was handled by an associate dean in the College of Arts and Sciences. Dil- lon, however, very commendably printed criticisms of his editorials in the Letters to the Editor page of the REFLECTOR in many issues. 288 The Involved .,,..; 3f Janice Simmons and Evelyn Magee selected the choicest cornstalks for Halloween decorations in the Union.

Awareness 289 Awareness cont Lights, Camera, Action Since the Mississippi State Union is after all the student union, the responsibility of planning programming for the Union quite naturally falls to the students, and the organiza- tion which coordinates and directs that planning is the Union Program Council. Under the supervision of Union Student Director Lydia Lofton, the members of the UPC headed commit- tees which planned pro- grams and activities for stu- dents in the Union facilities. The word ' student ' was always what we emphasized and kept in mind whenever we planned an activity, commented Lofton. Every- thing in the Union has been built with the idea of servic- ing students. We see our role as one of supplement- ing those services. The UPC played a major role in celebrating the week of MSU ' s Homecoming with a series of events based on the comic book and movie character Superman. The activities included a Super Cowbell Contest, judged by such luminaries as Coach Emory Bellard and Bob Bully Lemmons, a Super Change contest and an opportunity for students to have their picture taken as America ' s favorite hero. The UPC Entertainment Committee sponsored the Wednesday UPC Movie of the Week in the Union Ball- room. The series brought some of the finest examples of Hollywood ' s recent efforts to MSU students, blockbusters like Super- man, Robert Altman ' s, Quintet, William Gold- man ' s Magic, Watership Down, Sherlock Holmes ' Smarter Brother, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Steven Speilberg ' s Jaws. The chairman of this com- mittee was Pat Smith. We tried to get only mov- ies which had been released within the last year or so, Smith said.

Students were required to wear uni- forms, spent their after- noons at work or in drill and were subject to strict military discipline. Although, compulsory ROTC was abolished in the early 1970 ' s, the Air Force ROTC continues the task of training students for duty as officers in the U.S. Air Force. First and second year cadets were instructed in the basics of military history and drill. Third and fourth year cadets received advanced training as well as preliminary flight training. Cadets who continued into the third and fourth year program agreed to serve a specified term of duty in the Air Force in exchange for an officer ' s commission. Besides their service in one of the AFROTC ' s two cadet squadrons, cadets could also participate in the Blue Knights, AFROTC ' s select drill team, or the Color Guard, which pre- sented the colors at all of Mississippi State ' s home football games during the 1979 season. AFROTC-related service projects were handled by the Arnold Air Society, the Air Force ROTC Honorary, and Angel Flight. Angel Flight serves as hostesses at all formal AFROTC functions.

Recent years have brought a new look in the first and second year programs. Students partici- pating in the first half of the program are not required to march or wear a uniform. In class they study military his- tory and leadership and par- ticipate in lab programs which include survival train- ing and marksmanship. The third and fourth year advanced course programs are still used to prepare the cadets mentally and physi- cally for military service. The cadets receive their com- missions as second lieuten- ants upon graduation. The Army ROTC Cadet Staff aids cadet instructors in ROTC classes, plans any training operation and does any special projects that are assigned.

Running, when it ' s not overdone, has a long list of physical, mental and emotional benefits. Stronger and healthier lungs and heart, improved muscle tone, and relief of excess ener- gies are some of the most frequently cited physical benefits of running. Those who run daily believe that they are more mentally alert, possibly because they are tired enough at the end of the day to get a good night ' s sleep. Some runners have taken to the track simply because it serves as an emotional release. I was getting so uptight at my job that I developed an ulcer, said one regular female runner Judy Hocking Taking It All in Stride at the stadium. My doctor told me to exercise, and running seems to release my frustrations better than anything else. Paperback books about running were bestsellers in fall 1979, and those copies that found their way to the shelves of the Bookstore and the cam- pus Book Mart were no exception. A new magazine about running, too, was popular with students. Warm-up suits and shoes especially designed for run- ning sold quickly in Starkville shops. Running ' s the greatest thing I ever did for myself, said one middle-aged Starkville man. I can have a really rot- ten day at work and home, but if I run that day, then I ' ve done something good, something positive, for my mind and body, and especially for my spirit. I have accomplished something after all, and that ' s a tremendous boost in my morale. Judy Hocking displays an expression of agoi during her daily sprint across campus. Crouse. Lynn.

Starkville MS iSHBH Behind the Scenes: ■ laying football for the MSU Bull- dogs is a full-time, rigorous job, and its rewards are many, according to Head Football Coach Emory Bellard. Preparing our players for the game begins many years before they ever come to MSU, said Bellard. Junior high and high school football contrib- utes to a player ' s experience, condi- tioning and physical skills as much or more than football practice in college does. The weekdays between games are hectic, with each day ' s practice plan- ned far in advance for the best possi- ble success — a well-played game. right: Barry Hay looks for an opening in a wall of lineman, below: Trainer Ronnie Stephens tapes Barry Hay for scrimmage. There ' s More to a Football Game Than Meets the Eye. Sundays are reserved for discussing the past day ' s game; coaches meet with players, look at films of the game, and critique players by p ointing out both their mistakes and good points. These films, according to Bellard, are major keys to improving the games from week to week. Monday ' s practice always includes an hour of an on-the-field account of the Bulldogs ' next opponent, and films are shown to familiarize the players with their next opponent. On Tuesday, a breakdown of each player ' s role in the oncoming game is completed, and players, practice on the field for two hours. Team play, rather than individ- ual roles in the game, are outlined on Wednesday, and at the end of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday practice, players go back to the athletic complex to exercise and lift weights. Practice on Thursday lasts only an Confidence is the result of doing something well many times. hour, and on Friday, from 1 5 minutes to an hour. After Friday ' s workout, the players all eat together and stay in their accommodations at the game site with lights out at 1 1 :00, said Bellard. On Saturday, the day of the game, players eat their pre-game meal together at 9:30 a.m., followed immedi- ately by squad and group meetings. Players are taken to the stadium one- and-a-half hours before kick-off. Thirty-two minutes before kick-off, the entire team goes through the stretching program to loosen up for the game; they leave the field fifteen min- utes before their big moment. Time spent in practice, Bellard emphasized, creates in each player a rare blend of relaxation and confi- dence which permits him to play at his very best. An unrelaxed player, says Bellard, inevitably makes mistakes. Confidence, he concluded, is the result of doing something well many times. top left: Manager Ken Taylor gets equipment ready to distribute top right: Chris Quillian enjoys a few quiet moments on the way to a game, left: Rigorous weight workouts are an integral part of any player ' s game preparation.

People always ask us if we mind people confusing us with one another. Well, what can we say? W w w e each answer to both of our names, said Jim Moorehead of Starkville, the elder of the Moorehead twins by eight minutes. Jack nooded in agreement. People always ask us if we mind people confusing us with one another. Well, what can we say? After being identical twins for 19 years, we ' re pretty used to it, said Jack. Jim and Jack Moorehead of Starkville are redhaired identical twins majoring in general business. They have the same advisor, the same classes and instructors, and claim to have identical interests and even iden- tical thoughts to a certain degree. Well, it is true that we do almost everything together, said Jim. But it ' s mainly because we ' ve only got one car between the two of us. The twins do admit that they ' re very close friends as well as brothers. One of our favorite activities is baseball, Jack reported. We ' re trainers for the Diamond Dogs this year. The twins don ' t take advantage of their lookalike situation now, although they did when they attended high school at Starkville Academy. We didn ' t have classes together in high school, and we ' d switch places once in awhile, said Jim. It kept the teachers guessing. The students usually knew what was going on because they could tell what clothes we each had on in the other classes. Jim and Jack said that one question they ' re asked almost daily is whether they like being twins. We don ' t know anything different, said Jack. We get along great most of the time. There ' s a lot of fun in having an identical twin brother, and we take advantage of the situation instead of complaining about the disadvantages.

Except, wouldn ' t you know, Ole Miss! Gina Jacobellis began coaching at MSU this year after receiving a Mas- ter ' s degree from Ole Miss. We had a pretty fair season, despite our 13-20 record, she said. This year for the first time, we played in a Southeastern Conference for volleyball. All of my 11 girls did a great job. Gina describes her job as being fun. Coaching the volleyball team, she says, is time consuming — it involves making phone calls, writing letters and visiting other campuses for recruiting new players; traveling to out- of-state games; and practicing with the team several hours a day every day except Sunday. It takes as much time as I want to put into it, she explained. It ' s one of those jobs that never gets done. AH except one game, said Gina, were away games. The reason students aren ' t aware that MSU has a girl ' s vol- leyball team, she said, is because no home games were scheduled. I hope to change that next year, though. For the one home game we did have, though, there was a lot of student sup- port for the team. Gina plans to make at least one more change next year. I hope we can play in the Coliseum, not McCarthy Gym, she said. It ' s hard to coordinate schedules around the intramural pro- gram and physical education depart- ment. She ' s enthusiastic about next year ' s team. Things went well this year, she said. Next year things will be great. Lee. Patrici .... Lee. Sherry. Columbus MS Lee, Stanley.

Cheryl Sidney . . iomething to Cheer About « ure, cheerleading is lots of hard work for long hours. But I wouldn ' t trade it for anything! Cheryl Sidney, an accounting major from Greenville, tried out for cheer- leader as a sophomore and won a pos- ition as alternate for the squad. She tried out again this past year and again received a position as alternate; she became a member on the squad when one cheerleader dropped out after summer, 1979. It ' s really an honor to be allowed to show my spirit and enthusiasm for MSU as a cheerleader, she said. I ' ve been coming to MSU football games since I was a young girl, and I ' ve always watched the cheerleaders, especially since I was a high school cheerleader. It makes me very happy to be one of them. It isn ' t easy to become a cheerleader for the Bulldogs anymore than it ' s easy to be one. According to Cheryl, approximately 25 girls and 20 guys tried out for about five minutes each, and each was judged on double stunts, a pompom routine, personality, appearance, spirit, individual cheers I ' ve been coming to MSU football games since I was a young girl, and I ' ve always watched the cheerlead- ers. and chants and spoken interviews. When the squad was chosen, they began practicing as a group, then chose partners. During the summer, the Bulldog cheerleading squad attended a national cheerleading camp at Memphis State in Tennessee. During football season the cheer- leaders met Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for one and a half hours. Pep rallies were held Thursday, and on Friday the squad headed for that week- end ' s game site; this year the squad traveled as far as Maryland to cheer the Bulldogs on. The cheerleaders grow very much to one another as football season wears on, said Cheryl. We watch and criticize one another ' s cheerlead- ing because we want to be a very good squad. We all enjoy working together, and we especially grow close to and begin to understand our partners. The friendships I have gained are well worth the hard work of being a cheer- leader for MSU. Juniors McPhail-Pitre 391 Fighting the Battle of the Bulge 14 I ley, Marge, there ' s an ' all you can eat ' pizza party in Columbus tonight. Let ' s . . . hey, what are you blubbering about? I ' d love to go but I haven ' t got any- thing to wear. All my clothes have shrunk. Margie ' s clothes didn ' t shrink; like hundreds of MSU women, she gained extra pounds in the whirlwind fall semester life of food parties, beer busts, bake sales, hamburgers, coffee and doughnuts, and colas ... all added to her usual three-meal-per-day diet. Correcting the extra weight problem has its fads like everything else. The Scarsdale Diet, the Citrus and Protein Diet, the Grapefruit Plan, the No-Car- bohydrate Diet, and the All-Carbohyd- rate Diet were some of this year ' s favorites. Running, shunning elevators in favor of stairs, and joining in intra- mural sports and exercise classes were popular methods of reducing chubby stomachs and thighs. Dieting, once begun, often becomes an obsession: which diet causes fast- est reducing? Which is more nutrition- ally sound? Which is least expensive? Which ones are starvation diets, which ones will keep the pounds off once they ' ve been lost? The skinnies who can ' t participate in the frequent dormitory debates about diets have been known to form weight- gaining organizations in revenge: more frequently, though, they sigh and wait. The mass dieting usually ends, they know, with the coming of warm weather, when even the most seden- tary students become active calorie- burners, and another winter of anti-fat fads is laid to rest.

Here, Tamy Corolla and Brenda Pritchard pour agar into petri plates for the isolation of unknown Enteric bacteria, such as Salmonella typhi and Shigella sonnei. Pathogenic Microbiology I ■ n this course you will be work- ing with bacteria which are capable of causing serious disease in human beings. There are thirteen rules that are designed to protect your health, the health of those around you, and the health of others who use the labora- tory. The thirteen laboratory rules for Pathogenic Microbiology Lab 2214 reflect the nature of the experimental work performed by the students and emphasize the necessity of using extreme care while in the lab. This course, usually taken by pre- med, microbiology and medical tech- nology majors, deals with human pathogens, or bacteria which cause disease in humans (in laymen ' s terms). Streptococcus pneumomiae, Staphy- lococcus aureus, and Corynebacter- ium diphtheriae are a few of the patho- gens studied in this course. So it ' s obvious that a student can get more out of this course than just a grade. Such experiments as isolating and identifying unknown bacteria from a given culture by the use of selective media and biochemical tests are com- monly performed in the lab. Injecting white mice with varying concentrations of Diplococcus pneumoniae and observing them for mortality rates is one of the more unique and potentially dangerous lab experiments students perform. Patience, concentration, and proper technique are required to obtain good results in such tedious and time-con- suming experiments. Mark Matthews, a junior pre-med major, streaks a plate of selective media for the isolation of an unknown bacteria. s Pittman-Ross 393 Valerie Wal ters gets her temperature taken at the Student Health Center. Miracle Healings, Hypochondriacs, and the Common Cold: All in a Day ' s Work I he Student Health Center at Mis- sissippi State University treats approxi- mately one hundred students per day. The most common complaints are colds, sore throats, coughs and ear- aches, said Mrs. Margaret Tomlinson, head nurse. Of course we see our share of hypochondriacs who are invariably sicker than anyone else, and students still come in feigning illness to get out of tests. But that ' s not as com- mon as it used to be. The Health Center has witnessed several miracle healings, according to Mrs. Tomlinson. One patient crushed a penicillin tablet and poured it in his eye. Another put a dramamine suppository in his ear to treat an infec- tion. Both patients, believe it or not, recovered remarkably! There have been only two deaths in t he Student Health Center since it was built; one student and one professor have died of heart attacks. We call ambulances from the Oktibbeha County Hospital in emergencies, explained Mrs. Tomlinson. The secu- rity officers are also authorized to call ambulances. The Health Center is fully equipped with both a daytime and nighttime emergency room, a full lab, an X-ray room, dining facility, and physical ther- apy room. We also have a full staff, said Mrs. Tomlinson. With four doc- tors, 15 nurses, a dietician, three lab technicians, an X-ray technician, hos- pital administrator and full office staff, any student or faculty member is guar- anteed the best chance for recovery.

MS i Canadian-New Yorker Defines Southern Hospitality T I here ' s lots of small differences between Canadians and Mississippi- ans, said Kathy Mott, a junior pre-med major whose family resided in Canada. The first obvious difference is the cli- mate. Mississippi ' s coldest weather is like our October weather. Also, people in the South are so nice and polite, whereas Northerners are very straight forward. What do you call it — South- ern hospitality? Even after three years at Mississippi State, Kathy hasn ' t lost her northern accent. People find out that I ' m from Canada and the first thing they want to know is why I don ' t have a French accent. I can ' t even speak French except for a few phrases! Kathy quickly points out that she ' s originally from Buffalo, New York. We moved when I was 13 or 14, she said, across Lake Erie to the Canadian side. I finished high school in New York. She laughed. Even in New York kids asked me if it was terribly cold in Canada, just a few miles away! Kathy, who serves as a resideni assistant in Rice dorm, says she really loves MSU. Both of her parents are graduates of MSU, and next year she ' l have two of her five siblings living or campus near her. I will apply to go to medical schoo in Mississippi, but I ' d really prefer to gc to McGill in Quebec, she said. As foi the immediate future, I can ' t wait to ge back to Canada this summer to go sail ing on Lake Erie. JUNIORS FEB Vanlandingha. Steve, Calhoun City Vines, Sandra, Starkville.

Advanced architecture students stand outside with the freshmen during the fall semester egg drop. The egg drop is one of the first projects that architecture students hand in.

I ' ve seen some really ' way out ' designs, said one fourth year archi- tecture student. The whole school goes outside to watch the projects drop.

Trying to please student body of 14,000 and still main- n the responsibilities of being direc- of an organization as productive as isic Makers is quite a task. A hat used to be known as the Social Committee has grown into the most organized and professional student group on campus. Because of the huge responsibility of dealing with money and professional people we must treat Music Makers like a busi- ness, a business with the goal of pleas- ing the student body with presenting as many different types of music for them as possible, commented Boozer. Since last January Bonnie and heV fellow Music Makers have been responsible for bringing a variety of dif- ferent styles of music to MSU ' s cam- pus. Jimmy Buffett, Billy Joel, Heart, America, Peter Frampton, and Kansas are only a few of the acts which have appeared on campus. Besides being involved with Music Makers Bonnie is on the Coliseum Advisory Board, MSU ' s Student Repre- sentative for NECCA (National Enter- tainment and Campus Activities Asso- ciation), a member of its Steering Com- mittee for the Southeastern Region of the U.S., and on the subcabinet of the S.A. Bonnie feels that her work with Music Makers has not only given her the opportunity to work with many dif- ferent types of people, but it also has been a true learning experience. Many booking agents are quite amazed with how truly organized and professional Music Makers are. The challenge involved in present- ing the best variety of entertainment for the student body is the real motivat- ing factor of my work, which I plan to continue from here, said Bonnie. Bonnie and her husband Bob are now in Mobile. Bonnie plans to con- tinue working in the field of entertain- ment booking in Alabama.

Jackson, MS Spencer Adds Sparkle to Halftime Shows r s the drums begin to roll MSU ' s Famous Maroon Band performs its out- standing rendition of Chuck Man- gione ' s Children of the Sun. The sta- dium crowd is overwhelmed by the col- orful flags and the flashing batons and rifles performing simultaneously. An outstanding performance by MSU ' s band is nothing unusual. Each member of the band, auxiliary and marching musicians, has the background and expertise to put on a superior show each performance. Beth Spencer, MSU ' s blonde feature twirler, is certainly an expert in her field. She has been twirling since she was 8 years old and boasts over 450 trophies to prove it. She was Miss Majorette of Mississippi for four con- secutive years, 1974-77, and has won over 20 state championships. At Notre Dame, Beth was National Drum Major Champion uring ' 76 and ' 77 and in the top 10 in the Miss Majorette of America sponsored by America ' s Youth on Parade. Besides being involved in state and national competitions, Beth was also a majorette for three years in the Ita- wamba High School Band, which had a total of 18 marching members and four majorettes. Beth and Sherry Massey, her part- ner, spend approximately 10 hours a week preparing for their weekend per- formances. They each make up their own baton routines and work together on their struts, which are performed with the band. Beth, also a percussion- ist who plays the bells, explained the format she and Sherry use when mak- ing up their routines. We use a cas- sette to practice our show, usually just varying the tricks we already know until they fit the featured song. We have much more freedom in our indi- vidual routines than struts, so it takes much less time than one would think to come up with a complete show. Time may not be essential but physi- cal stamina and much self confidence — the trademark of professionals — are! h Spencer thrills the crowds with her out- iding baton twirling feats. m fi fa, Loper.

You cram an awful lot of material into one month of two-hour classes. But it ' s still a break; there ' s a lot more things you can do outdoors, and the countryside around campus is beautiful in summer. Students at MSU take full advantage of warm weather. Swimming at various pools, wading through Sessums Creek, picnicking, cooking out, playing tennis and badminton, and bicycling are some favorite summertime activi- ties. Summer school has its advantages and disadvantages, said a sun-tanned coed. There ' s always lots of little kids on campus attending various camps, and if they beat you to the cafeteria at lunchtime, you ' d better count on wait- ing at least an hour before eating. And the classes get so monotonous — it ' s study, study, study the same subject for five days a week. On the other hand, you have a chance to get four requirements out of the way, and if you get out of class at noon, you can lay out in the sun all afternoon. Some of the favorite swimming spots are the Blue Hole, the university ' s Olympic-sized swimming pool, various apartment complex swimming pools, and Oktibbeha County Lake. The lake ' s my favorite. I can ' t stand getting all the chlorine in my hair, said a bikini-clad student. And I can brir my Labrador to the lake. Summer school is great, said junior communications major, voicir the opinion held by many student It ' s better than working any day. McAdory, N M(( a ' nmr, McCaskill J -i.

MS ;s Mazeres-Rdbinson 405 I he fashion trend that swept MSU in 1 979 was not new — it was a revival of the classics. Feminine styles returned to the late forties and early fif- ties. A-line slit skirts, plaids, and pleats all became popular again. Women, as well as men, sported corduroy blazers, buttoned down collar shirts, khakis, argyle and striped pullovers, and the ever-popular alligator-trimmed Izod shirt. Many MSU women considered it very chic to match up unmatchables — seersucker was paired with polyes- ter, rosy pink with navy blue, and stripes with plaids. Nevertheless, the traditional styles and pairings pre- vailed. Fancy socks and textured hose were often used to top off the perfect ladies ' outfit. Young men were warm- ing up by teaming Polo ' s with flannels and buttondowns. Pleats were added and belt loops subtracted from men ' s pants while ties continued to narrow. Blue jeans, still a staple in college Fashion Flare; From Levi ' s to Lacostc wardrobes, were straight-legged and attractiveness, rolled up at the hem line. Big name My goodness, one alumnus wj jeans included Levi ' s, Calvin Klein, and overhead as she observed studen Lacoste.

Students walking across MSU ' s Drill Field have to dodge whizzing Frisbees con- stantly, especially during warm weather. Sometimes even dogs get into the act, catching and retrieving Frisbees in midair in a game known as K-9 Frisbee. Frisbee isn ' t quite as big a sport at MSU as it is at other universities, said Pat Kraft, a forestry major from Gluckstadt. But more and more people are playing all the time. We ' re starting an official chapter of the International Frisbee Association here. In the meantime, a bunch of us just get together and throw on the Drill Field or, once in a great while, in McCarthy Gym. Frisbee is probably popular chiefly because it requires only a Frisbee and two or more players. Frisbee Golf, one of the many variations of the sport, is played like conventional golf, except that Frisbees are thrown to designated trees or other goals, rather than golf balls being driven ' into holes. The most popular spot on campus for playing Frisbee is the Drill Field, chiefly because it ' s free of obstructions. Except, of course, students walking to class. Sophomores Rodges-Thames 409 SOPHOMORES V ur nation ' s youth have turned mobile with an evolving assortment of wheels from ten-speeds to skate- boards, and now — rollerskates. The rollerskate fad, the latest craze on campuses around the country, began when all the various disco steps had been mastered by the average disco-er. Roller-disco emerged as an alternative — the participants can still utilize their dazzling disco gear and enjoy the additional excitement of practicing their gyrations on wheels. National magazines and primetime T.V. shows now feature special roller- disco clothes, roller-disco exercises, roller-disco commercials, and even plots centered on roller-disco, all nicely packaged to meet the roller disco budget. As all fads eventually do, the roller- disco madness reached Starkville and became a recognized form of enter- right: Veronica Frentz, Denise Adams, Beverly Branch, and Sandy Park found that they spent more time on the ground than on skates.

CO ' .mi ' , i • - j.Waveland.MS MM 2 5uper Spirit Displayed by Superman McCrillis eing a superfan is superfun when ie loves the Bulldogs as much as Bill cCrillis. McCrillis need not wear the colors of SU and a flowing cape to prove that | is superfan — any hard core fan uld vouch for the fact that in reality II McCrillis is always superfan. Since graduating in 1965 McCrillis s shown his support for MSU con- antly by attending 8 to 10 games a sason every year since graduation, orida, Hawaii, Maryland, whenever le sees MSU ' s maroon and white, cCrillis will be there supporting the jlldogsto the max. McCrillis, concerned about school )irit being shown during games, tme up with the idea of a character image to show these MSU fans what Jlldog spirit truly is. After approxi- ately two months of intense thought id planning, McCrillis came up with e character, Superfan. The next step in McCrillis ' plan was to convince Coach Bellard of the potential of Superfan. Coach Bellard ' s immediate support and backing gave McCrillis the confidence to go through with his plans. McCrillis ' efforts in the MSU alumni section of the stadium never fail to go unnoticed. While the cheerleaders are busy in the student section McCrillis and the alumni wholeheartedly show their support — not only at football, but also at baseball and basketball games. Superfan is there to give alumni an outlet to show how much they want their Bulldogs to win. It takes more than one of us to show the Bulldogs how much we are behind them, explained McCrillis. McCrillis, originally from Crystal Springs, MS, saw MSU ' s campus for the first time in the fall of 1965. He was overwhelmed by the attitudes and out- looks he saw here. Mississippi allows the student of Mississippi to fully enjoy the college experience because there are so many different choices a stu- dent can make. MSU is so diversified that one can come and experience whatever one wants to do — within limits, of course. You can come on this campus and be whoever or whatever you want to be, continued McCrillis. You leave with a completely different attitude, a philosophy of life that will affect you in whatever you do. McCrillis feels that college athletics are MSU ' s showcase — the one visual connection the public has of our school. This is why it is so important to stress athletics. People who have never seen MSU or a MSU student will form an opinion of our school by the one thing they do see and hear of — our athletics. This is sad, but it ' s true. MSU created an entirely new thought process for me. This is my way of paying back the school for every- thing it gave me. I may seem wild, crazy, excitable, or hyperactive in my support for MSU, but it is my way of showing MSU the love I have for it. Bennett, Randolph, J Biglane, Mary; Natehez, MS BiMingsloy.

MS rVMSB ASU ' s Rock Alternative . lYlSU ' s own campus radio sta- Dn, WMSB, initiated a great deal of aecial programming in fall 1979, eluding a 48-hour block of time jlled the Black Experience, during hich soul and rhythm and blues Dminatedtheair. The students who run WMSB frown ily upon Top-40 music: the disc jockeys try to play music which their audience would not normally hear on other stations in the area. Known as MSU ' s Rock Alternative, Serving You Something Different, the station tries to broadcast programs which suit the musical tastes of every individual within listening range. WMSB has a musical library of 5000 albums and therefore is fully equipped for its spe- cial programs, like Beatles After- noons, Jazzy Sundays with The Intrepid Fox, and a new program of classical music presently in the mak- ing. This radio station runs solely on the volunteer power of 23 students who try to keep the station on the air seven days a week, 84 shifts a week, two hours per shift. Students also gather the information that makes up The News Blimp every evening, and broadcast Down the Hall, a program in which the Inter-Residence Hall Council members discuss matters of particular importance to students living on campus. Any student, the station emphasizes, is welcome to enter the ozone layer of fourth floor Lee Hall to learn how to become a WMSB 89.1 FM station disc jockey, to work on the news crew, or select music to be played from the vast store of albums located in the station. left: Jeft Murphy, WMSB radio disc jockey, cued listeners in on the weather and local news between songs. 25E?

Kim, like all library student workers, must work one night per week and adheres to her work schedule because the library depends largely on student help. It ' s not always dull at the library, she said. Once I had a guy stand on top of the information desk during my shift. And I have the privi- lege of entertaining the question, ' Where are the books?

MS o 7BEB « Chapel Weddings u He lere comes the bride, sings the organ in MSU ' s Chapel of Memo- ries. Isn ' t she beautiful? the wedding guests whisper as they stand to see the young woman in white walk to the altar. Don ' t cry, Mama, begs the embar- rassed younger sister at the bride ' s first I do. Throughout it all, the can- dles gleam softly, their beauty almost matched with that of the late afternoon sun streaming thru the chapel ' s many small windows of colored glass. Chapel weddings, held fairly often in the summer months and holidays, are not available exclusively for students and children of MSU alumni — anyone can be married there. The church can be rented for three hours at a very inexpensive price of $15.00, and patio receptions lasting for an hour or less are ' available for no extra charge. Two or three weddings could be held on the same day, but according to a Chapel of Memories spokesman, that doesn ' t happen very often. Chapel of Memories weddings are usually very small and simple; the church only seats 150 guests, and there have been times that latecomers have had to stand throughout the cere- mony. Usually citizens of Starkville expect more guests than the Chapel can accommodate, or they have access to a church of their own, said the Chapel ' s spokesman. And those who do get married here must find a minister who will perform the service. Quite often they get married in the min- ister ' s church after all. But for those who wish for quiet, beautiful weddings with family mem- bers and close friends, the conven- ience and low cost of a Chapel of Memories wedding can ' t be beaten.

I decided that being ' Bully ' would be a great opportunity to express myself in a fashion I ' d never had a chance to do before. Bob tried out with other contestants for the ' Bully ' role in front of seven judges on a specified point system evaluation. Whoever plays Bully has to be in fairly good physical condition, said Bob. The uniform is hot — it gets to be 120° in there. Bully has to be creative, too. My reactions as Bully are very spontane- The Person, the Dawg ous, Bob continued. I spend a great deal of time preparing skits, working with the band, and coming up with new ideas. I love playing Bully, he said. Being Bully puts me into another image.

Bob, who says he loves being around people, also enjoys camping, backpacking, gymnastics, photogra- phy and public relations during quiet times. right: Bully plays with Bulldog mascot, Champ below: Injured players — Donald Kay King (28), Johnny Cooks (99), Lynn Copelan (23), B.

Nevertheless, Perry Mason, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Jimmy Carter attend classes Mon- day through Friday just as every other student does. These three men are members of a unique group of MSU students with famous names. Straight from the Hollywood silver screen, students such as James Gar- ner, a senior from Jackson; William Holden, a junior from Jackson; and p: William Holden is one of the famous stu- ents on campus, above: Carol Burnett gives a jg of her ear, just like her celebrity namesake. Elizabeth Montgomery, a sophomore from West Point, go about their daily activities as if their names were infa- mous. Musicians also roam the grounds of MSU. James Taylor takes time from his career to major in Forestry; and when not shaking his body down to the ground, Michael Jackson studies engineering. Unfortunately, jokes and crank phone calls plague these students, sometimes often enough to become extremely disturbing. Carol Burnett — comedienne, actress, and education major — has been annoyed to the extent that she has considered chang- ing her name. My parents named Carol by accident, she says, and her accidental name has been the cause of much frustration for her. Some of these students, however, enjoy their special titles. Katherine Ross, star of The Legacy from Bay St. Louis, is quite satisfied with her name. She does receive occasional sarcasm from people, but she overlooks it. She says, Whether you let people ' s opin- ions influence you or not depends on the type of person you are. Her atti- tude is shared by other famous stu- dents. Perry Mason of New York says, It ' s kind of fun having a famous name. I ' ve never wanted a different one. These famous students add variety and bring a bright ray of happiness to the student body at MSU. In years to come, the memories of these students will linger in their fellow graduates ' words: Would you believe, I actually went to college with .. . left: Katherine Ross attends classes at MSU regardless of her Hollywood title. 1 .us Mien Poplarville.

Coin- Operated Amusement Intramurals aren ' t the students ' only chance to have fun on campus. The Recreation Room, located directly across from the Union Bookstore, offers a host of games for student use. Pool tables located on the left side of the room are one of the most popular games among students. With a student ID, one can play at student rates for an entire evening without spending a phenomenal amount of money. It ' s a break from academics, said one pool player, and winning a game of pool can make you feel a little better about botching up a test earlier that day. Electronic games called Space Invaders, Break-Out, Demolition Derby, Blockade, and Sea Wolf test students ' eye-to-hand coordina- tion and quickness of reflexes. Chil- dren, as well as some students, espe- cially enjoy these games. Foosball tables and bumper pool are also offered by the Recreation Room for student entertainment. Bowling, too, is very popular; the intramural department and individual students have access to the bowling lanes, bowling balls, and bowling pins availa- ble at the desk in the center of the room.

No one ever claimed that the job of editor of a 448 page book was easy. But then neither did anyone bother to warn me that the job was accompanied by a disproportionate share of difficulties and uncertainties. On more than one occasion during the past year I ' ve wondered what has gone wrong: why the all-nighters, why no pictures, why the panic-stricken deadlines. Even more often, however, I ' ve wondered why I still enjoyed I the job as much as I did, and though my sanity screams out, I ' d be the first to admit that I would qladlv do it 1 again. The staff has been unbelievably faithful and I give them my praise and congratulations. I ' m not going to thank all the individuals who have put forth that little extra effort that makes such a big difference — they I know who they are, and I could not thank them enough. I think that this year ' s staff has made changes — some major, some minor — in the format, content, and appearance of the Reveille; whether those changes were for the better or for the worse will only be deter- mined by those who flip through its pages. We have tried to accurately and comprehensively record one year at State; after all, that ' s what a yearbook is all about. Now that you ' ve thumbed through the book once or twice, I encourage you to go back through and take a closer look. I think you ' ll enjoy it — I hope so anyway. Wesley Clements Editor.

Agri- culture, perhaps, is the most important aspect of MSU ' s long heritage and the university has contributed immensely to the state, nation, and the world ' s animal and plant crops. L ' ■ ' : ■ ' V ' ' :., ' , ' ' « ' Take a Closer Lo ok The Chapel of Memories, a small, quiet oasis amidst a cam- pus brimming with activity, pro- vides peaceful moments of relaxation, study, and private devotion throughout the day. Built from the charred bricks of Old Main Dormitory, the chapel has been the site of innumera- ble weddings, funerals, and services. Take a Closer Look Sports competitions are available for all students at MSU and 75 percent of the students took advantage of the intramu- ral sports program. Men and women alike play pillo-polo, tug o ' war, football, and racquet- ball. Physical activity provides students with a chance to release energies and frustra- tions accumulated during long days of classes and studying. Intramural Football 447 Take a Closer Look University research helps man to prepare for his future and MSU contributes to a vari- ety of major research efforts. Academic research is con- ducted within nearly all the schools at MSU, with some of the major research being con- ducted on alternate energy resources, sunflowers, and small towns.
