La Pirogue 1976 Volume 28 Nicholls State University P.O. Box 2010 NSU Station Thibodaux, Louisiana 70301 The symbol chosen for the cover of the La Pirogue represents the coming together or blending of people from various backgrounds at Nicholls during the 1975-76 year. As the lines come from areas, so do the students, faculty, administrators and university employees. Together the lines change and become gray, as the people at Nicholls are also altered by being together. Whether the experience was good or bad, visible or subtle, the year cannot be repeated or copied. Everyone contributed to making the year happen and was affected by it. Inside is the story.
