A dietetics major under the home economics option, Becky has worked toward an associate of science degree in food service management. She has served as chairman of the Taster's Choice program of meals presented by home economics stu- dents and as a member of the Nicholls Junior Branch of the Food Executive Association t'Experience with people and the different personalities of people is part of what we're about, Becky stressed. Working with people tace to face is an extension of what is learned in books, she said. Off campus, Becky has been a member of the lvlayor's Beception Committee for Mardi Gras in Houma and is an active member of the Krewe of Christopher in l-louma and the Krewe of lvlokana in New Orleans. l'Southern Living, a regional cul- tural magazine, gave the senior two pages for her own recipes.

The engineering technology senior is also a member of the Arnold Air Society, an honorary Air Force group. A single student can lead others to accomplish many things. Joe explained. A person should get involved as much as his schedule will allow, he said. People don't seem to realize the importance of grades until it is too late, he said in reference to academic standings. One of the main criterion for apply- ing for a job involves grades, he noted. When it comes to leaving college, Joe Life Sciences Who's Who: Becky Givens, Mila Arceneaux and Jeff Roshto. expects both a well-rounded educa- tion and maturity to leave with him. One person can highly influence other students to taking action, some times a lot of persistence is needed. Margaret Messenbrink's observation of what a student can do is reflected in some of the positions she holds. Selected to the Student-Faculty Advisory Committee, she is one ot those responsible for helping keep open relations between the students and their instructors. Margaret also serves as second vice president of the Food Services Execu- tive Association and is editor of the group's newsletter.

I want to help build a better and bigger university, for my three sons to attend, he said. Alpha Psi Omega is the national drama society for students in the dra- matic arts. Students are usually nomi- nated from the Nicholls Players, the campus theatrical group. Advisor is Dr. Mel Berry. The honorary history society of Phi Alpha Theta is composed of students majoring in the field of history as a major or minor. Many students of pre- law are also in the group. Advisor is Mack Nolen. College of Life Sciences Last summer I had an assistantship to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, Mila Arceneaux recounted. lt made me realize not how much I didn't know, but what I had left to learn while in college, she said. As a marine biology major, Mila accumulated a number of awards before the appointment to the Oak Ridge Laboratory. As the secretary to the Aquatic Biol- ogy Club, she was given the Outstand- ing Marine Biology Award and an La. State Board of Education scholarship for her studies. I've tried to encourage other stu- dents to take advantage of their edu- cation and do the best they can, Mila explained. Her standings on the President's List also helped with her selection to the Nicholls Honor Society and Alpha Lambda Delta. 1'k 'N . .. 3. -,. ,,, .,.-1' ' .,,,,, v- .-L - .V 4 li 5 r N 1 ' -7. u I ,- Y .,f,,,,, sf' 'J Y 'f x , M., . , '- 6 - u - 7 ' f Aw I - I1 E .

The purpose of a teacher is to instruct, not to an empty classroom, Mila stressed, explaining why she thought class attendance was impor- tant. High grades and academic stand- ings are important because she would not have received the honors and appointment without them, she said. Social activities? They offer a release for energy and a hunting ground for partners. This assessment by Laura Crochet could be believed, as she married after her sophomore year at Nicholls. The home economics education major holds a record as both a nomi- nee to Who's Who Cthree timesj, Ms. Nicholls Qthree timesj and editor of the yearbook C1 972, 1973, 19745. Other organizations include the Home Economics Association as pres- ident in 1975, on the board of direc- tors of Rotaract and a member of the Student Louisiana Teachers Associa- tion. I hope someone feels they have to eclipse whatever I have done, Laura said when assessing her con- tributions to the campus. I was influenced that way when I was a freshman, she noted. Other honors Laura has received are the Crisco Award as the outstand- ing student in home economics, La Pirogue Spirit Award in 1972, nomi- nee for the Dean's Award from the College of Life Sciences and Out- standing Student Teacher in Second- ary Education. She was also selected as the out- standing member in 1975 by the Home Economics Association and as a nomi- nee for the state award as Outstanding Senior in Home Economics. I feel many students abuse the lib- eral class attendance policies, Laura said. Some compromise must be achieved.

Most campus improvements are a result of students getting involved vvith the college, she said. This atmosphere should lead to a learning experience for life and further education, instead of heavy emphasis on grades and class attendance, lvlar- garet stated. My main goal vvas to get engineer- ing students involved in campus activi- ties, Paul Raymond said, in reflect- ing on his time at Nicholls. A fall graduate in engineering tech- nology, Paul serves as an ex-officio board member of the Nicholls Engi- neering and Technology Alumni Asso- ciation. I-Ie has also served as president and vice president of the Nicholls Engi- neering Society. College can be a proving ground, he explained. I not only learned to think and act on my ovvn, but also vvith groups of people I have met, Among his other activities, Paul pledged Pi Kappa Theta vvhile a stu- dent at LSU in Baton Flouge and has served as student senator from the College of Life Sciences in the SOA. Other interests cover bovvling, golf, fishing and tennis. At first they Chigh gradesj were very important, then I realized a lot of people could make them, so I began to try and get a better understanding of people, Paul said.

I-Iis outlook also extends to Life Sciences Who's Who: Lubin Raymond, Joe Cuillot, Margaret Mes- senbrink and Laura Crochet. the process of naming students to Who's Who. To think so many students would be named C283 is nearly ridiculous. There are probably some vvho do not rightly deserve the honor, while to be sure there are some vvho do and don't get it, Kyle explained. Closer scrutiny by department heads and deans is one vvay Kyle thinks the selection process could be improved. From some of the groups he has been involved in, the chemistry major is one of many students vvho has seen the university from different angles. A member of the University Courses and Curricula Committee, part of the Chemistry Faculty-Student Committee and SGA senator from the College of Sciences have been the points from vvhere he has observed. Kyle has also served as president of the Nicholls Chemistry Society and is a member of Pi Mu Epsilon. Off campus, he is a student affiliate of the American Chemical Society and belongs to the Woodmen of the World. Allowing one to maintain one's sanity is his best reason for support- ing social activities. lf a student wishes to pay 95160 to sleep or ski, fine, Kyle said to manda- tory class attendance. On the other hand, if one is intellectually capable, then class attendance may be unnec- essaryf' The honorary group for students in the Air Force ROTC unit is the Arnold Xml, Life Sciences Who's VVhofArnoId Air Society 271
