During the week guitar music or Spanish can be heard. For students with small children Cunder six yearsb the NSU Parents Co-op cares for, enter- tains and educates them from 8 am. to 4 pm., five days a week. Peggy Rouse, director of the program, attrib- utes its existence to three mothers who attend Nicholls. Two years ago Beryl Dupont and Brenda McPherson of Thibodaux and Terryl Cash of Houma saw a need fora child care center of par- ents attending Nicholls. 'They worked with the university and we now 326 Son-Sta have this building, Peggy Rouse said. Located in the back of the campus between maintenance and the ROTC buildings, the center has a waiting list of children. The co-op maintains a ratio of tive children to each worker, according to federal standards, Rouse said. Two student workers, two graduate assistants and two full time employees take care of the children, classified as infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers. Drawing much attention is David Jones, a tall, imposing animal science major. Dne parent told him he looked like a daddy, which is true since he has two sons. The senior was looking for some type of job on campus and became a student worker fixing toys, repairing cribs, picking up donated items or assembling an indoor swing set. I had my doubts about working with all these children, he said. The children seemed scared of me at first. But after seeing him work, their fears eased. Pam lvlarcel, working on her masters in psy- chology and counseling, teaches the children songs, while Rose Acre, whose daughter Rosita attends the center, teaches Spanish three days a week. Other guests include Dale Rogers of Thibo- daux, who visits with her guitar, and the janitor, whom the children love to question. Trips to different parts ofthe campus are taken, including the campus post office, football sta- Student workers assist the costumed bike riders on a trip around campus on a mini-Mardi Gras tour. The children attend the NSU Nursery School.
