Music blasted out of dorm windows, and cars loaded with boxes and laundry baskets full of neces- sities of life appeared in parking lots. Soon the lines formed, as the enrollment ritual began. | Address cards, fee vouchers, class cards, and currency | changed hands. Textbooks, supplies, and meal points were secured. Old friends greeted one another, and some people met other people who would later become old friends. Another school year at Northeastern State University was | rolling towards May. This was not to be just another year, how- ever. Some new verses were to be added to an old song. | When things began to change is hard to pinpoint. Perhaps _ the seeds of the new feeling were sown in the mire of adversity that had plagued the university for the past five years. Northeastern State University 5 ee, 6 Northeastern State University __ Regardless of its origins, we all knew we were seeing new 3 times when the administration let out eleven o'clock classes _ for a pep rally. A pep rally at Northeastern? We were forced to __ wonder what was going down. ' To an outsider, that might not sound significant, but for | someone who had seen a few moons pass at NSU, it was quite i} asight to see a crowd, three thousand strong, mob around the _ president of the university. It was also remarkable knowing | ' that when they were shaking their fists in the air and shouting at the top of their lungs, they were yelling with him — not at him. We aren't saying the 60s and 70s were a total waste. Doub- tless a lot of good has come out of the turmoil that followed Vietnam, Watergate, and the other events that shook our opti- mism. On the other hand, it seems that Northeastern got caught up in the feeling of general hopelessness of the era. Morale ran low, cynicism ran high, and for all the things that make going to college unique and interesting mattered, most of us could have gotten as much from attending a correspond- ence school. Northeastern State University 7 Me Se aaa 8 Northeastern State University As the decade ends, NSU seems to be recovering from the feeling that we were all locked into a Sisyphus trip. People are talking about moving ahead, and working towards new goals. For years students wanted a pre-enrollment period. This year they got it. In the past there has been confusion about what to call the university. Was it NEOSU, NESU, NSU, NOSU, or what? To hopefully solve the problem a new logo was adopted. We are now NSU. Recognition value aside, the new design doesn't look bad on a T-shirt or bumper sticker. Northeastern is heading into the uncharted waters of the new decade. Will NSU be able to navigate through the unknown problems of the 1980s? Most people round here are betting it will. Northeastern State University 9 10 Features features ‘Apathy buried — new times’ Features 11 12 Apathy Buried Burials are often attended by only a few relatives and perhaps some close acquaintances. Funerals mourned by many are those of presidents, movie stars and well- known figures. There was one funeral, however, attended by some three thousand who came to cheer the death of the cele- brated but despised Apathy, in an unusual pep rally on the lawn north of Seminary Hall. From one viewpoint, Apathy’s burial was in fact tradi- tional — the ominously black coffin lugged by six pall- bearers robed in black gowns, the inevitable eulogy, this time given by Dr. Joe Anderson, a funeral band, and the outburst of uncontrolled emotions from a relative. It was traditional, all right, except maybe for a few things. The ceremony began with bass drummers and trumpet players from the marching band parading through build- ings in pied-piper fashion, leading the rather cheerful mourners to the gravesite. The atmosphere was festive, the band music intensifying the feelings aroused by the occasion. Hardly solemn, so to speak. Spectators filled the area around the platform and the speaker's stand; some perched in windows, on fire escapes and the roof of Seminary Hall for a better view of the happenings. “Amen!” rejoiced the crowd after the stirring eulogy was delivered and the coffin lowered into the ground. In response, the band resumed its spirited music as the cheerleaders and dance team members kicked high and the crowds clapped wildly. “This may well be the first event Apathy ever attend- ed,’ said President Roger Webb, explaining the cause of Apathy’s death as ‘‘acute gastoroid indifference.”’ “The cure is spirit — Redman spirit,’’ said Webb, lead- ing the crowd in cheers with clenched fists raised. A4 The marching band led a snake dance around the cam- pus celebrating the death of Apathy. True to the saying, ‘‘There is a birth in every dying,’ the Redman Spirit was born. 1. Pallbearers, serious but nonetheless comical, took Apathy's casket to its final resting place. 2. It was a day to celebrate, a day to let it be known that indifference has bitten the dust, as Dr. Joe Anderson delivered the eulogy for Apathy. 3. Paying their last respects to Apathy, students toss green branches onto the grave. 4. The week following the funeral, a huge bonfire was held at the burial site. Approximately 1,500 hot dogs, supplied and cooked by faculty and staff, were eaten by the crowd. burying apathy thousands attend high-spirited rally Apathy Buried 13 o OQ an _— Cc ® pee is ) ou o = = 2) 12) o = 2) ae vt Sed Homecoming and Parents’ Day took a new direction when, for the first time, the two events were combined to generate more parent-student participation. The day began with the annual Homecoming Parade down the main street of Tahlequah. The sidewalks were packed with people of all ages, and even college stu- dents gave up their Saturday morning sleep-in to see the parade at10a.m. The Industrial Arts Club won the grand prize for floats, as well as first place in the mechanically animated cate- Seneaining them $440. The parade theme was ‘‘Anima- ion. A barbecue was held on the University Center Porch after the parade. Meal points were accepted, so some generous students were able to treat their parents to a meal for a change. After thoroughly stuffing themselves, the crowd of Red- men fans headed for Gable Field to watch the crowning Spirit animates Homecoming festivities of the Homecoming Queen, Marilyn Craig, and the pre- game activities. Che ered on by a crowd of nearly 8,000 people, the Mighty Redmen stomped the Missouri Central Mules 50- 14 Later that evening an Alumni Dance was held in the University Center Snackbar, while the students boogied down in the Ballroom to the band New Horizon. 1.

Suddenly, there is a loud melodic ringing in your ears, along with the clock radios and other assorted noises. No, the sound is not part of your hangover and it’s not your parents calling to see when you are coming home. Sighing at the bad timing, you realize what the sound is. The sound is the bells of Northeastern, and you helped pay for them. In October, the hands of time creeped upon the clocks in the Seminary Hall tower. The clocks taken from the tower were found to be irreparable, according to Dr. Major McClure, chairman of the bells committee and dean of the College of Behavioral Sciences. Hope that participating in a drive to bring the bells on Campus, and hope that the bells would contribute to giv- ing NSU the old ‘“‘hallowed halls of ivy’’ feeling of acade- mia, were two reasons cited for the appointment of a bell committee and the placing of the bells in the tower. “Bells placed in the clock tower of Seminary Hall would provide a focal point on campus and would draw faculty, staff and students together giving them a common point of pride,’’ McClure cited as a reason he thought people should donate money during the carillon fund-raising drive. The Schulmerich Carillons, Inc. of Sellersville, Pa., agreed to install a 25 tone English Bell carillon in the tower on a three week trial basis. Close to Thanksgiving, a representative of the Schulmerich company supervised the installation of the bells in the tower. The most difficult step in keeping the bells was answer- ing the question of whether enough money could be raised to prevent the bells from being returned. At the outset, it was decided that the bells would not be paid for by university funds. At the end of the first week and a half, the ‘‘Help Us Save the Bells” fund had raised $5,337 of the needed $10,135. When students returned from vacation, the bells were still in place singing out over campus, and it was not long before the bells were paid for. “The money came from donations, and the university didn’t put up any money,” said McClure proudly. The rest of the money raised was used towards the pur- chase of a new clock for the tower. “Twenty years from now, students may not remember which building is where, but they’ll remember the bells of Northeastern,’’ McClure said. Loved, tolerated, or serving as an alarm clock for Mon- day morning students, McClure’s statement will probably prove true. 1.Ona clear day, the view from the clock tower encompassed the entire campus. 2. The hands of time caught up with the clocks in the Seminary Hall tower. 3. An employee of the Schulmerich company checks the installation of the new carillon. 4. The old clock was removed from the tower to make way for the new. The Bells 17 Pe ommuters: Through rain, snow, sleet and gloom of night 18 Commuters While the Post Office may not be expected to persev- ere through rain, snow, sleet and gloom of night, most commuter students are. Commuters are a type of college student that is a prod- uct of the Automobile Age. They live at home (be that Tulsa or Peggs) and drive back and forth to NSU for Classes. The reasons for commuting are as varied as the individuals who fall into that category. Perhaps it is cheaper to live with parents, or the student might be a housewife who takes morning classes, or a school- teacher working on a master’s degree at night. Of the 5,117 students attending NSU during the spring semes- ter, only 693 lived in the dorms (not taking into account married student housing because no figures are kept on the total number of students in the apartments). Mother Nature was not very kind to commuters for most of the winter months. Heavy snows and icy roads Ce, ce oie sateen — ea Ee Lge He. SP on ee ae eg aie tae ie es erat ss = Fepye pad a il forced the university to close classes for one day. Classes continued during the rest of the foul weather, and many students did their best Sergeant-Preston-of- the-Mounties impressions and mushed through. As the spring semester drew near an end, the com- muter students’ other arch foe, the Organization of Petro- leum Exporting Countries, hiked the price of gasoline ever nearer to the one dollar per gallon mark, putting a bigger crunch on the pocketbooks of students who drive. As fuel shortages and long lines at gas pumps appeared in some parts of the nation, the future of the commuters’ ability to keep rolling towards a degree looked cloudy. 1. Early risers who attend the 8 a.m. morning classes usually have one advantage: they get a parking space. 2. Cars, cars, cars fill up the parking lot beside the University Center. 3. It takes timing and nimble feet to arrive at classes on time, as com- muters trek across the parking lot. Commuters 19 I nn eee errr—“siCSsSCsCSCSCSCSCt—sCSQQS Preparing for the Realities of Life Work-study. That’s what it’s called and that’s what you have to do: work and study. Whether or not you’re on the work study program, working and studying is part of almost everyone's daily routine. There are approximately 800 students in the program at Northeastern, doing everything from decorating cakes, to picking up trash, to taking pictures, for money. Bob Rogers, counselor for the Financial Aid Office on campus, is in charge of finding the right kind of job for students eligible for the work study program. Anyone eli- gible for student aid is eligible for work. “What | try to do is match Students with a job in their major field of study or a personal interest,’’ said Rogers. ‘And the best jobs go first, but if the student is lucky, there are some pretty interesting jobs available.” Work study students are not confined to the campus. ‘‘We have commuters working in the Muskogee library, in Hastings Indian Hospital, and in some area schools around Tahlequah,” said Rogers. It doesn’t matter whether you’re working on campus, off campus, or on your own, the reasons for working are the same — for bucks, mainly, and perhaps a little experi- ence. 20 Working Students Babysitting Next time you’re in Granny’s Attic and need a listening ear, or a soft shoulder, look for the smiling face of Gary Sweeney, senior from Burbank, Calif. “!’m a bartender, suds slinger, and | do a little bit of everything,’’ said Sweeney. Sweeney works up to 30 hours a week, depending on whether or not he’s involved in a play. The job to Sweeney is a lot more than just tending bar. “Actually, I'm a great big babysitter,’’ he jokes. ‘‘Some- times people will start talking to me about something that happened in 1968, like the Vietnam War, or God knows what. | have to pretend I’m interested and know, what they’re talking about.” Sweeney also helps keep Granny’s Attic a safe place to relax, and tries to anticipate problems. “If | sense a problem, | try to talk people out of fighting. | get a deck of cards or sit down with them a few min- utes,’ said Sweeney. ow Moonlighting Moonlighting is not uncommon for students who need extra money for extra expenses. Becky Brewer is one ambitious moonlighter who manages to find time be a full-time student, work two jobs, and also have some time for herself. “With two jobs, | have to discipline myself, and put things into their priorities. | try to put my school work first, then my job, then my love life,’’ said Brewer. Brewer, a freshman from Seminole, works 15 hours a week as a desk attendant at Ross Hall on work study, and also works 17 hours a week in the shoe department at Wal-Mart. “Really, I’m not that crowded for time. | have my sched- ule all worked out. | go to class in the mornings, work afternoons at Wal-Mart, then work late evenings as a desk attendant, and while I’m working at the desk, | can do my studying,” she said. “The bad thing about working two jobs is that | don’t get to go home on weekends very much. But the extra money | get makes it a lot easier,’’ Brewer said. Getting Experience Matt Gentry, a sophomore from Poteau, doesn’t like giving parking tickets any more than people like getting them. “| don’t like giving parking tickets at all, but it’s part of my job and | have to do it,’’ said Gentry who works for Campus security. “| really don’t think people should be charged to park anywhere on campus if they have a decal. It’s only a quarter, but it’s still on campus,’’ complained Gentry. But writing parking tickets is not all that Gentry’s job entails. His main reason for working is to make money to get through school, but he also feels the job experience will help him to find a job related to his political science major after graduation. Working Students 21 a Strangers ina Strange Land If one were to look on a globe, Tehran, Iran, is almost halfway around the world to Tahlequah, Okla. This is a long way to go to school. During the spring semester, some 47 students from 12 nations were attending Northeastern. The country with the largest number of students attending NSU was Iran, with 23. American students occasionally wonder how foreign students wind up in northeastern Oklahoma, particularly in Tahlequah, a place that is not that well-known outside the borders of this state. Some foreign students may wonder the same thing. It is erroneous to try and group individuals under a blanket term of foreign student. It is too easy to let stereo- types develop. Students come from Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Nigeria, France, Lebanon, Philippines, Korea, Taiwan, Ethiopia, Venezuela and Pakistan. If the student who moves on campus from Pawhuska has problems adjusting to campus life, then it is difficult to imagine the trials facing a student from an entirely dif- ferent background. No matter how well the student understands it, the language is not his mother tongue. The American lifestyle no doubt deals out large doses of culture shock. The average Oklahoman’s diet is often a strange fare to the new foreign student. And, of course, there is the rollercoaster climate of this area to contend with. There is no common set of reasons for leaving their countries to attend Northeastern. Even so, there is one common thing shared by each foreign student: they must not only struggle, as any college student, to get an edu- cation, but they also must contend with the problems that come with being a stranger in a strange land. 22 Foreign Students iil Cs —_ Foreign Students 23 Oe ee ee Dorm Students: | Stayin’ Alive 24 Dorm Life For the almost 700 students who live too far away to commute, or who would rather walk to class than drive, living in a dormitory becomes a new part of life. Moving away from home and breaking ties from Mom and Dad for the first time is an eerie feeling for anyone, but having to move into a stark, bare-walled, empty room and sharing it with a total stranger is more than a new life: it's a scary new part of life. But at last, you finally have your own space, limited as it may be, and finally you're ‘“‘living on your own’’, encoun- tering all kinds of new experiences. Suddenly, nobody is around to tell you to clean up your room, go to class, study, do laundry, come home by 12, to make your deci- sions for you. You shock yourself by keeping your room livable, going to class (most of the time anyway), cram- ming for tests, washing clothes out of necessity, and when you Can, getting a few hours of sleep at night. Privacy becomes a thing of the past. Your room becomes a central meeting place for all your friends who want to borrow something, or inform you of the latest tragedies. Pretty soon, you’re learning the ropes. You never trust elevators. You don’t undress with the shades open. You memorize the campus security number so you can call them instead of a sleeping friend to let you back in the dorm after 2 a.m. You hold on to your key constantly to avoid locking yourself out in a towel and having to search for a junior counselor to let you in. You learn how to store enough clothes for nine months in a tiny closet and five drawers the size of shoe boxes. You train your mind to sleep through blasting stereos, but to wake up at the sound of the alarm. You carry an umbrella even when the weatherman says ‘‘Only a slight chance of rain today.” But there’s always a friend down the hall who’s ready to listen and t o share. You grow up a lot, realizing that missing your parents isn’t immature, it’s only natural. Although you found out the difficult way, it doesn’t always pay off to read ten chapters of biology the night before the final. You learn self-discipline after having been engulfed in the sweet euphoria of ‘freedom.’ You screamed freedom at last, and suddenly you find yourself sighing, “| want to go home’”’. On the economic and convenient side, dorm living saves on gas and physical energy. Instead of driving 50 miles, you walk to class. Healthy habit, they say. People. You meet lots of them, some become your friends and some of them don’t. From these encounters you become adept at dealing with enemies and keeping good friends. And most of all, you mature. You learn to accept the consequences for your decisions, and to take responsi- bility for them. 1. When the lights went out in the dormitories on one stormy night, some students found that studying under the emergency lights suited their purpose. 2. Sometimes a little television and snacks go along with studying. 3. The college diet, junk food, is always found, along with endless pages of notes to review and mountains of equations to solve. Dorm Life 25 er wer Sere | Meeting on the Crossroads of College Life After Hours You put in a full day of classes. Right after supper you hit the books. About 8 p.m. the print of the text- book looks much finer than before, and you know if you try to wade through one more line of “Paradise Lost’ you are going to violate quiet hours by scream- ing. You decide that yeah, you, too, deserve a break today. Since the closest Big Mac is thirty miles away, you opt for a substitute panacea. Like most college towns, Tahlequah has a number of places where students go, as they say in the broc- hures, ‘‘to balance the academic experience with an active social life.” Some students prefer a quiet con- versation with a few friends over a pitcher or two, or three. Others will seek a rowdier environment — where the music would drown out the landing noise of a squadron of Concorde jets, and guys in Greek T- shirts dispense suds by the gallons. According to one local publican, in an average beer bust about eight kegs containing 15 and one-half gal- lons of beer are consumed. Multiplying that by two, since there are busts at most places twice a week, then multiplying that figure by a 16 week work semes- ter, it is not unreasonable to conclude that around 4,000 gallons of beer could be consumed in the course of a semester. That is, of course, only at one tavern. Some students are into polyester and disco, others prefer denims and Waylon and Willie. Of course there are others who don't particularly care for any of the types of entertainment mentioned. Some will spend free evenings watching flickering images on the lounge TV, wondering if Mork and Min- dy’s faces should be blueish. { Some will go to the BSU for a game of ping pong, or . for a fellowship service. Movies at the Dream Theatre or in the University Center let some step into other realities for an hour or so. Perhaps the time will be spent in the dorm quad playing a serious game of spades and eating popcorn. And a few people will get their kicks studying. We haven’t many, but there are rumors. The commonality of all these diversions is that the time belongs to the student, and nobody dictates how it is spent. It is a moment when a student is his own person. 1. In secluded nooks of crowded taverns, foosball games are played by enthusiastic fans under the dim light of a tiffany lamp. 2. For some others, beer-drinking is secondary. Bars are sought for their entertainment. 3. After hours, not necessarily after dark, begin soon after university chores — term papers and the like — are put away for the next day's worries, and the next. After Hours 27 Carrie Nation woulda been proud Issue Staggers Campus By not playing, the Jack Daniels Original Silver Coronet Band received more publicity than if they had performed. The Oklahoma Alcohol Beverage and Control Board cancelled the NSU concert because a performance would have constituted liquor advertising, which is illegal in Oklahoma. The band, subsidized by the Jack Daniels Distillery in Tennessee, specializes in Sousa march-type music. “The presence of a Jack Daniels band would consti- tute advertising for Jack Daniels whiskey,” said Richard Crisp, director of the ABC Board. Following an editorial in ‘The Northeastern’ condem- ning the action, a Tulsa television station editorial echo- ing the opinion of the campus paper was broadcast. “By calling the ruling dumb, the kids at Northeastern have a point,’’ said KTEW newsman Jack Morris. Just as quickly, the story hit the wire services and spread all over the country. A Los Angeles radio station phoned James Malone, drama instructor who had sched- uled the concert for the Allied Arts Series, for a live inter- view. Similarly, a concert by the same band to benefit educa- tional TV was cancelled in Oklahoma City. A campus debate was scheduled to discuss liquor by 28 Jack Daniels the drink, and attending were Crisp; State Senator Frank Keating, Tulsa attorney active in efforts to pass liquor reforms; and Ross McLennan, executive director of Sooner Alcohol Narcotic Education (SANE), which stead- fastly opposed the issue. Ed Brocksmith, NSU Public Information director, moderated. The debate was lightened by a performance of the ‘“‘Dack Janiels Silver Helicon Band,’’ composed of univer- sity band students and led by band director Lowell Leh- man. Lehman was attired in a green jacket with epaulets, gold fringes, and bedecked with medals. Apparently making his first appearance was Dr. Todd Fredrickson, an alleged gynecologist who has the habit of discovering intended violations of Oklahoma liquor laws, and then notifying the ABC Board as well as the news media. Fredrickson is head of Sensible Oklaho- mans Behind Essential Reform (SOBER). “Good afternoon fellow sober citizens,’ intoned Fre- drickson, attired in blue tights, suede shoes, red gym shorts and a white sweatshirt with a Superman emblem. “There are enough sober statements heard this after- noon to give me a very resounding headache.” With that comment he presented Crisp with a gift: a box of Super Sugar Crisp cereal. , n Keio eee cet ath POUR a g 1.

Weaponless, but with great presence of mind, he killed the boar by thrusting the book down its throat. The boar’s head was brought home in great triumph. No wild boars are roaming the Northeastern campus, but students celebrate the feast of the boar’s head each year with a musical and dramatic production which attracts visitors from several states. Dating into the period of paganism, the feaste recalls the sacrifice of the boar to Frigga, wife of Odin. Odin was king of all the gods at the festival of mid-winter. The eating of the boar’s head at Christmas is of Scandi- navian origin. It was at one time the universal dish for the mid-winter festival and was an offering at the feast of Jul, or Yule as we now Call it. The Lord of Misrule, central figure in the dramatic pro- duction, entertained those at the feaste, introduced the performers and announced the six different courses of the meal. Several major changes in costumes and performances made this year’s production even more successful. James Malone, drama instructor, said the costumes were prepared from 85 yards of velvet and the script was modi- fied because of the dinner. Patron’s Night was held on a Saturday night instead of a week night, and proceeds provided scholarships for art, music and drama students. Financial assistance amount- ing to $1,500 was awarded. Two new additions were a special performance for Northeastern students and the added performances of Queen Ann and King Henry the Eighth, who helped the Lord of Misrule reign over the feaste. 1. Costume seamstress Sue Morain gives King Henry VIII, portrayed by Theo Peshehonoff, a hand in putting on his bulky velvet costume. 2. Dorman Pryor waits behind the scenes before he goes on for the eve- ning performance. 3. Shelley Garner and Dr. Ralph Whitworth perform enthralling madri- gals for the audience. 4. The very reason for the medieval celebration of Christmas, the boar’s head, is brought out for all to see. Boare’s Heade Feaste 31 as 32 Dr. Don Betz It might be easy for some people to dismiss a small regional university such as Northeastern as not being a place likely to produce intense dynamic scholars. Easy for some perhaps, but not Dr. Don Betz, political science instructor, among other things. Betz sponsors the NSU Model United Nations delega- tion, which has for the past six years taken honors at national Model UN conferences. Northeastern students have tested themselves against the best delegations in the nation and more than hold their own. Betz is also director of the President’s Leadership Class, the members of which are considered among the university's most promising students. “The motivated students at Northeastern can compete in intercollegiate competition,” Betz said. ‘‘The drive for excellence is not imposed by me. | try to impress upon students that it would be a waste of time, talent and energy for them not to function at 100 percent.” Dr. Betz, who received his Ph.D. in international stud- ies, is a busy man. In addition to working with the Model UN and PLC, he teaches two political science courses and is the director of the Northeastern Educational Foun- dation, which requires a great number of office hours and many speaking engagements to various groups and organizations. “I think | have about hit my functional limit. My dance card is fairly full,’ Betz said. ‘It’s a question of using time and energy spent with PLC and the Educational Founda- tion the most efficiently.” “My wife Mona says | don’t have any ‘computer down’ time, I'm always ‘on’,”’ Betz said. He relates his role at Northeastern to an anecdote about a dean of student affairs who was asked what he did for a living and replied: ‘'I like to think that I'm paid to think.” Even though Betz is deeply committed to working with students of high scholastic ability, he still plans to con- tinue teaching his lower division courses. “! still retain the course and probably will for some time, because that is where you see the new talent,” he said. To relax, Betz said that he enjoys going to movies in Tulsa, playing tennis, using the gym, and he tries to run every day. He was involved in planning the Spring Run held in May. But his true love is travel. “| guess I’m a frustrated tour guide. | like to take people to places,” he said. Dr. Betz and some Northeastern stu- dents were among the first U.S. citizens to enter Cuba and the People’s Republic of China when those countries were reopened to the west. “I never believed education was something that was done to you. It’s something you do to yourself,’ Betz explained. ‘‘It is the most serious thing a society can undertake. If you blow it — you blow a whole genera- tion.” 1. One must never settle for second best, says Dr. Don Betz, speaking to a group of Rho Theta Sigma honor society members and initiates 2. Although notorious for his difficult classes, Betz is popular among his students because of his ability to relate to them with youthful ease Making Real the Pursuit of Excellence Dr. Don Betz 33 rz 34 ROTC fi It's Not Justa Job. . The Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC), has gained the interest and merit of many students at Northeastern dur- ing the past two years. The 60 members in the ROTC program are seeking careers as officers in the National Guard, Army Reserve, and Army. Many students are taking the courses for the experience and fun. ROTC students are not committed to joining during their first two years, according to Capt. Gary Pickenpaugh, mili- tary science professor. The program's last two years are designed for those wishing to extend their careers into the service and wanting to receive a reserve or regular army commission. “| think the people that stay with ROTC will find an educa- tional value from the training experience in leadership, man- agement, problem-solving and decision making,” explained Pickenpaugh. “‘It’s a program that provides a student a chance to get out from behind a desk and work in a labora- tory situation.” According to Capt. Dan Mason, rapelling instructor, the ROTC program gives a student a chance to try it, and if he Is likes it, he can pursue it. ii “We try to familiarize the students with the fundamentals t and get them involved,’’ Mason said. ‘‘The advanced it courses are more demanding and require more work to Nh advance the student in leading and handling problems ki which could occur in a field situation.” Although ROTC instructors have certain specialties, each if is qualified to teach all of the courses. “The instructors make the courses,” said Pat Crabtree, Fort Gibson sophomore who is planning a career in the | | | | armed services. Cadette Kaye Carter, military science major and Seminole junior, took the Marksmanship course and was able to work with several weapons like the M-16. “The products of the ROTC program will go on active | duty for five and one-half years with officer benefits,”’ said Pickenpaugh. 1.

The show was put together in two weeks of rehearsal due to scheduling conflicts and winter weather. The cast did much of the preparation for the show by watching films on death and dying and visiting local nurs- ing homes to watch how the elderly adjust to the situa- tion. “There was some explicit language in the show, but it was within the characters’ emotions in dealing with the subject matter,”’ Seat said. One of the many features of the show was that it relied heavily on actor reaction and situations in which they were placed, rather than using a lot of theatrical gimmick- ery. Many of the moods relied on technical lighting. The show revealed abilities in actors seen many times before in less demanding roles, and emotions were released that otherwise might not have surfaced. Many new faces were among the actors, but Seat com- mented that these budding thespians more than showed that they could handle the roles assigned. Mark Holton, a familiar face to theatre-goers, was nom- inated to go to Dallas to compete in the Irene Ryan Award competition, for actors who have given outstanding per- formances. 1.

These were some of the wild antics that were all a part of the University Theatre’s first production of the school year entitled ‘An Italian Straw Hat.’ Director James K. Malone commented on the play and its author Labiche. ‘‘Labiche goes to any length to get a laugh and once wrote, ‘A play is a thousand legged crea- ture which must keep going. If it slows up the public yawns; if it stops the public hisses.’ Labiche dwells on getting humorous dividends by filling his work with bus- tles and chases,’ Malone added. The show did exactly as Labiche would have wanted it to; it moved very fast and kept the audience busy and laughing. The play was about a young man on his wedding day whose horse eats a straw hat belonging to a lady having an affair in the bushes. Many new actresses and actors were featured in this production and did an admirable job with the comedy roles, which are always very difficult due to timing. Comedy is one of the most difficult types of theatre to do, but the actors understood what needed to be done. Old favorites were also in the show and they added to the total package to give Northeastern theatre-goers a treat and an education in different theatre types. When the show was originally presented, and influen- tial reviewer Francisque Sarcey saw it, he commented, “It (Straw Hat) is a revolution, in vaudeville,” and it has gone on to become the most popular comedy of this type in French literature. 1.

The last theatre production involved some 170 stu- dents in acting, technical direction and orchestration, and was the combined effort of the theatre and music departments. oe “Pippin’s’”’ staging, publicity and technology was han- died by the drama department, while volunteers from the music department provided the orchestra and choral - preparations. Unlike traditional drama productions, “Pippin’’ compli-- cated the already difficult art of acting by adding singing. ‘Acting in a rock musical is more challenging to the actor than a standard musical because he has to play more than one part, and do more than one thing,” said director James Malone, explaining that a rock musical works around a theme rather than a strong story line. Highly suggestive dance routines, and graphic inter- pretations of emotions, came out crude and offensive for some audience members. “They could have easily done away with this one _scene,’’ commented a supervising teacher who came with a group of high school drama student s. She was of course referring to Pippin’s adventure in sensuality, conveyed through graceful and emotive dance movement. The scene was not without its reason — there was a point to be made, however bluntly it was presented. my : “We got magic to do just for you, we got miracle plays to play, we got parts to perform, hearts to warm, with kings and things to take by storm, as we go along our way,” the players sung. i in the three nights of the performance, there were cer- tainly some hearts warmed. oo 1.

Women, according to Quiett, are really offended if he so much as adds one millimeter to the size of their nose. He draws his cartoons for fun. “It probably wouldn't be any fun if | had to do it,’’ he said. Sometimes the cartoon- ing may be used in his classes. “The role, as | see it, of a teacher, is to keep the stu- dents’ attention focused on what! am saying,’’ Dr. Quiett explained. Humor is used at that moment the student needs relief, then he draws them back to the subject matter. ‘‘When students look drowsy, | say some outlandish statements to wake them up,”’ he continued. i il “A little different way of saying the same thing is one of my strong points,’ he added. “| enjoy what I’m doing,” he said. “‘l tried administra- tion for 18 months, but gave it up to go back to the class- room.” “| pick up something new from the students every semester,”’ said the instructor, who has taught 23 differ- ent courses at NSU. “The challenge in teaching something new and in fit- ting it into my personality structure is what makes teach- ing fun,”’ he said. And it is no doubt fun to keep people on their toes with his cartoons, too. 1. Dr. Lee Quiett enjoys working with students.

Native Oklahoma pianist Howard Herring and flutist Laura Calzolari comprised the musical duo featured in the first of four shows. The Manhattan School of Music graduates performed works of a wide variety of composers including Hummel, Bach and Schubert. William Mooney, ABC television’s daytime serial star of “All My Children,” traveled to Northeastern to present his second one-man show entitled ‘‘Damn Everything But the Circus.” Mooney, whose career spans all media of entertain- ment from Broadway to the movies, selected and com- piled excerpts from the works of the famous 20th Century poet e. e. cummings for the dialogue of his performance. Having generated excitement in concert halls through- out the U.S. and major European music capitals, the Ari- oso Wind Quintet performed an evening show for a large number of students and members of the Tahlequah com- munity. Prior to their performance, the quintet conducted mas- ter classes in flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and horn for university music students. Northeastern was also a stop in the 11-city tour of the owy Di GEsu 26-member Norman Luboff Choir, conducted by the v2 internationally acclaimed choral master and composer Norman Luboff. Luboff also taught a workshop in choral direction to a number of high school and church choir directors. Performing in one of their rare out-of-Tulsa perform- ances, the Tulsa Philharmonic Orchestra presented an evening of music, with conductor Joel Lazar taking the baton. Playing with the orchestra was featured American pian- ist Lorin Hollander, better known for his debut at age 11 at Carnegie Music Hall. 1.

On the one hand, detractors say, pre-enrollment has been tried once with only half the student body using the system. Administrators expressed concern over costly and extensive re-hauling of the registration system. It takes time, and money. On the other hand, growing student laments over lengthy, and unnecessarily tedious, registration proc- esses gave way to yet another discussion of the possibili- ties of installing a pre-enrollment system. A year after the filing of the recommendation from the Student Retention Committee, a pre-enrollment system was adopted. According to the committee’s report, the simplified registration may contribute to the increase in the number of students returning to Northeastern each semester. “Well, it took awhile, but we got it for you!’”’ an editorial Cartoon expressed in the university paper, The North- eastern. For some graduating seniors, it was welcomed as a protective umbrella from the thundering rain. A little late for them, perhaps, but welcome nonetheless. It is hoped that utilizing a pre-enrollment system will benefit the Financial Aid Office to insure enough time to determine grant eligibilities and to make the necessary corrections before registration. “| see a lot of potential for the system in the future. However, as of now, the Financial Aid Office has not directly benefited from the switch, and certainly has not been hurt by it,’ commented Joyce Jennings, director of Financial Aid. The Data Processing Center plays an important part in the new system. The center is responsible for providing such information as student class schedules and printing up student bills. Gone are the days of long and winding lines in registra- tion. No longer does a student need to wait in line for two hours only to find he is in the wrong line. 1. Employees in the Registrar's Office hunt through boxes of class cards while pre-enrolling students wait behind the counter. 2. The editorial cartoon that appeared in the university paper, The Northeastern, says it all. 3. Lines remain during registration periods, but they are a bit more encouraging, and a little less complex, as students await their turn at the counter. 46 Pre-enrollment WELL, T TOOK A WHILE, BUT WE GOT IT FoR 47 [_Y f Pre-enrollment % eS ll a | , Programs: il ; I Augmenting | Graduate Opportunities 48 New Academic Programs | New Academic As part of Northeastern’s policy of continually growing to meet the needs of students and professionals in the working | world, Northeastern developed over the past year several | new programs which will be offered on campus beginning in ! fall 1979. “The new programs will substantially broaden the gradu- ate opportunities at Northeastern,’’ President W. Roger Webb said. The programs were developed primarily for the purpose of fulfilling student demand and professionals’ needs for improving their skills, broadening their career opportunities and increasing their possibilities for promotion to better jobs. “They're programs where there are job markets,’ Webb said, explaining why he is excited about the programs. Three of the new programs which have received approval for fall are the master’s degrees in tribal management, crim- inal justice, and industrial technology. Designed to provide tribal governments with profession- ally trained staffs capable of meeting the specific problems | and needs of the governments, the tribal management mas- ter’s program at Northeastern is believed to be the only one of its kind in the United States. “We will be the only university in the United States, to our | knowledge, to offer this degree,’ President Webb said. Graduates of the new 34-hour program will receive a mas- ter’s of business administration degree with an emphasis in tribal management, not a master’s degree in tribal manage- ment as originally planned. The program was changed to | provide graduates with a degree which could open up doors to business career opportunities in other management fields as well as career opportunities in tribal management. “Expertise in this area is greatly needed with today’s growing tribal budgets and the expanding demands for proper management for Indian tribes and nations,” said Ross O. Swimmer, principal chief of the Cherokee Nation. The program was organized by Dr. William Day, Business Division chairman. Already the program has had about 60 potential students apply for candidacy. However, Indian heritage is not one of the degree requirements. A new criminal justice master’s degree program has been tentatively approved pending funding to begin in the fall, according to Dr. Lyle Haskins, Social Science Division chairman. “The program was developed because of the growth and success of the undergraduate program and the desire for graduates to continue in a master’s program,” Webb said. “Presently there are no other master’s degrees in crim- inal justice offered by a state institution in Oklahoma,”’ Dr. Haskins stated. ‘‘We are quite pleased that the regents have tentatively approved it.” The program has been designed to meet the needs of criminal justice professionals for advanced training in Criminal justice investigative techniques and in criminal justice management techniques. “It will hopefully provide the type of law enforcement education today’s law enforcement officer needs,”’ Presi- dent Webb commented about the new program. The criminal justice master’s degree program is bring- ing another unique feature to NSU. To better accommo- date commuting students, class scheduling for the pro- gram is being arranged to enable students to acquire their degree by attending two straight days of classes each week. Forty-one million people in the United States are in career transition in industry, according to Dr. Vernon Isom. ‘‘And 24 million feel they must go back to school to prepare themselves for another job,’’ he stated. Dr. Isom is in charge of the development of the industrial technol- ogy master’s degree program. The program, which has been under development at Northeastern during the past year, has been designed to help interested professionals in industry to improve their Career opportunities through education, according to Isom. The program is important because of Northeastern’s central location in the middle of the sunbelt. The sunbelt is currently experiencing a burst of industrial growth. It is hoped that Northeastern will be viewed as a university capable of meeting the needs of industry for trained industrial professionals in the Southwest. The program has been tailored to the specific needs of people in industry, which was discovered by NSU after an extensive study. The program will debut in the fall. Master’s degree programs were not the only new pro- grams under development during the year. A two-year professional program of optometry joins the list of new programs to be offered. “There are only 13 colleges of optometry in the United States,’’ stated Dr. Kirk Boatright, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, stressing the importance of the pro- gram not only to NSU but to the state. The program will enable students to complete the first two years of the four years of professional optometry education needed to obtain the degree of Doctor of Optometry. “The Oklahoma State Regents of Higher Education Office has indicated that it will make contractural arrangements for students completing our two-year pro- gram to transfer to an accredited institution for the com- pletion of their third and fourth years,”’ Dr. Boatright said. As a result of action by the Oklahoma legislature, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education in 1977 requested NSU to develop a professional program of optometry. Northeastern originally submitted two propos- als to the regents. One proposal was for NSU to develop a full four-year program. The other proposal offered to the regents was for the university to offer the first two years of optometry education. In 1977, the regents approved the two-year proposal. “Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education cannot be expected to even consider the four-year program until construction of the proposed Hastings Indian Health Service Training Hospital is guaranteed,’’ Boatright said. “We have the support of the Oklahoma Optometric Association Board of Directors and of the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry for the development of the four-year program,” Dr. Boatright added. New Academic Programs 49 = 0 ee ee eee, i= President W. Roger Webb How would someone not attuned to the mechanics of academia fare as the top administrator at a regional university that had serious financial and morale problems? 50 President W. Roger Webb Wren the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges announced a year ago the selection of W. Roger Webb as the new president for Northeastern, there were some who looked with concern at the appointment of the for- ; .mer Commissioner of Public Safety. Webb was not from the ranks of higher education, and how would someone not attuned to the mechanics of academia fare as the top administrator at a regional university that had serious financial and morale problems? At the end of his first year as president, there were few people on the NSU campus who have-doubts as to Webb’s ability as an administrator. Administrative offices were streamlined and reorganized to increase productiv- ity and efficiency. The university is recruiting new stu- dents aggressively and working for the support of the people in the NSU service area. And probably most importantly, the dormitories are on an even keel finan- cially for the first time in many years. If Webb has proven to be a successful administrator it should not come as a surprise to anyone who has looked at his record. A native of Heavener, Webb received a B.A. in history at Oklahoma State University, then obtained a juris doctorate upon graduating from the University of Oklahoma Law School. Serving four years as the head of the state’s largest police department, Webb was the youngest director of any state police or highway patrol in the nation. After Dr. Robert Collier was ousted by the Board of Regents, and the following candidate search, Webb was among the top ten choices of persons considered by a campus screen- ing committee. In July of 1978, Roger Webb, his wife Gwen and two sons moved into the President’s House on the southern edge of campus. “| feel totally comfortable in every phase of the job,” Webb said. ‘‘As for time allotment in the academic realm as opposed to the other realm, | probably have given a lesser proportion in that area during this first year for the reason that there were so many administrative problems and needs that required immediate attention. We had no academic crisis, but we had an administrative crisis, in my judgment, and consequently you move in the area that is crying out for attention the loudest.”’ ; Webb said that two of the most significant problems he faced were the unstable financial condition of the univer- sity and the morale of the administration, faculty and stu- dents. “Probably the two most pressing needs that we had were to bring about economic stability to the university and stability among the personnel, faculty and student body,’ President Webb said. “| feel like financially the university will meet its obliga- tions, timely obligations, and make our dorm payments this year without borrowing money from other bonding institutions.” Webb said that it was hard for him to gauge the morale and atmosphere on campus, but feels that progress has been made. “| feel we are in a calming period on campus where the level of stress and anxiety has lessened, and it has allowed creative people to go about doing their thing,” Webb said. “| think this is really one of the most significant chal- lenges a president has. The challenge of creative and “| feel we are inacalming period, where the level of stress and anxiety has lessened, and it has allowed creative people to go about doing their thing.” intelligent environment we are in, where talented people can exercise their intelligence and wisdom without inter- ference and without having their energies drained off into other areas.” The loss of that energy was the result of a campus torn with dissension, and Webb said that would be a loss to the students, the community and to research. He feels an important part of his job is to create an atmosphere where efforts are directed in positive directions. A great deal of energy was directed towards getting new students to attend Northeastern. Webb kicked off the recruiting drive in the early fall, and the level of activity was intense right up to the final days of the spring semes- ter. Bringing in the idea of team recruiting, groups of fac- ulty, administrators and students visited schools all over the state, and President Webb recruited frequently in per- son. Watching Webb recruit reminded one of a political can- didate stumping for votes. In a given day, Webb might talk to students at Muskogee High School in the morning, visit local businessmen and NSU boosters, pass out posters in Curt’s Mall, drop by Fort Gibson High on the way back to campus, and even stop during lunch to chat with the cafe owner about the university. One tends to think that if this type of effort doesn’t build good will towards the univer- sity, nothing will. “A university president has, | am finding, more consti- tuencies than some of the other administrative positions in government. By constituencies | mean the regents, faculty, study body, alumni, the community and others. In all, these constituencies are very important and very vital to the success of the university. At various times each one feels like their needs are paramount, so you are con- stantly moving from one constituency to the other. That is an area | did not truly appreciate until | found myself in it. | knew there would be challenges and | Knew there would be rewards. | think there are more of both than | truly anticipated,’ Webb said.

Selling the University It is a familiar scene for the seventy faculty members, administrators and students involved in Northeastern State University’s student recruitment program. Starting in the early fall semester, NSU representatives traveled around the university's 18 county service area selling Northeastern. One of the major changes in the recruiting program instituted by President Roger Webb was the concept of Team Recruitment. Most NSU recruiters were volunteers. The recruiters were divided up into nine teams, and each team was assigned schools on which to concentrate. Despite gloomy forecasts for student enrollments in the 1980s, an increase of 12 percent in enrollment by 1983 was set by Webb. The target enrollment is about 7,300 students contrasted with the spring 1979 enrollment of Sale, “Recruiting is big business. We are in competition with other colleges and universities throughout Oklahoma,”’ said Dr. Ken Collins, director of the Office of University Relations and Orientation. University Relations was a new office formed when the recruiting and public inform- ation duties of the Office for Mass Media and Public Rela- tions was divided between two new offices: University Relations, and Office of Public Information. The University Relations Office coordinates the efforts of the recruiters, contacts schools, develops literature, and prepares material for the recruiters to distribute. Not only is the office concerned with getting new students to attend Northeastern, but it is also involved in keeping the student in school, through the orientation and counseling staff. There seems to be a tendency to look upon recruiting as a form of minor hucksterism. After all, why should a seat of higher learning and hotbed of intellectual energy descend to the level of recruiting sergeants? The truth of the matter is that higher education is becoming a buyers market and the competition among universities, junior colleges, technical schools, and, yes, armed services recruiters, is intense. When you walk into Howe High a SS SP I IT OTS TS SSPE SE IS SD I EE A ER Se School, which boasts a graduating class of about thirty, and find yourself in a room with recruiters from six other institutions, the seriousness of higher education recruit- ing dawns on you. “| think we’ll be tested to the ultimate in the 1980s, as all universities, because there will be fewer numbers of students available to go into the colleges,’ Webb said. “Ordinarily, we should not be optimistic about the 80s when there are fewer students, but to counter that | see a closing of the ranks and people coming together for com- mon causes. | think those are indicators that can allow us to feel good about our future,”’ the president added. Over 3,000 students were visited in high schools and junior colleges. Over 4,000 packets of information were distributed to counselors, students and others. More than 61 campus tours were conducted for students from vari- ous schools around the state, and from New York, Nebraska and Louisiana. Recruiting was a team effort. Recruiters who drove out to meet the people. The administrator who wrote scads of “Can we visit your students” letters. The secretaries who kept the people, vehicles, and materials coordinated; stu- dents who stuffed thousands of information packets, and sharpened countless pencils. Publications people who designed the literature and the Production Printing peo- ple who printed them. And many more people who may have done no more than tell a friend about Northeastern. It will be September 1979 before the effectiveness of the recruiting effort can be judged, and even then there are no guarantees. One of the problems of recruiting is that it is hard to measure its effect on the college choice decisions of prospective students. Even if enrollment jumps dramatically, chances are recruiting may not be listed on surveys as the reason someone decides to come to NSU. But, if the recruiters were not passing the word around, you have to wonder how the students find out about Northeastern. Selling the University 53 — 2 ee ee ne Residential Hall Council: Improving dorm life Led by persistent president Charles Metze, | the council added ) new perspective to residential hall | living 54 Residential Hall Council Serving as the representative board for the residence halls of Northeastern, the Residential Hall Council sought to work with the new administration to find new ways of making the residence halls more enjoyable for students living on Campus. : In line with the new positive university policy estab- lished by President Roger Webb, the council promoted a series of active programs to create a more positive resi- dence hall image. Members served as tour guides during an open house to give students not living in the dorms a chance to glimpse renovations taking place. The council also spon- sored a spring dance which found students making and renewing friendships and venting off excess energy dancing the night away in the University Center Ballroom. Council members supported a program to remove the eyesore of dirty cafeteria trays left by uncaring students, and supported a program to initiate a five dollar activity fee increase to make funds available for on-campus resi- dence hall activities. Dr. Lena Belle Rotton, dean of Student Affairs, was the guest of honor at the annual Christmas Appreciation Pro- gram of the Residential Hall Council. 1.

Extensive renovation of the dormitories was mainly the result of the Residential Hall Council's persistent efforts to improve dorm living. Shown are Hastings Hall and Logan Hall during the leafy fall weather. 55 Residential Hall Council The U.S. Department of Labor was looking for some- where to locate an Indian-emphasis Job Corps Center. Northeastern State University was looking for a way to use empty dormitory rooms. With the Five Civilized Tribes, notably the Cherokee Nation, acting as matchmakers, it was love at first sight. Before the Talking Leaves Center opened in October, there were only two Indian-emphasis Job Corps centers in the nation, and only about three percent Native Ameri- Can participation in all of the Job Corps centers across the country. When DOL approached the Five Civilized Tribes about locating the new facility in Oklahoma, Ross Swimmer, principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, made it known that Northeastern State University had the build- ings available. Faced with increasing difficulty in meeting payment of revenue bonds sold to finance the construc- tion of the housing complex, the university was looking for a way to rent the space in dormitories that were empty due to decreased enrollment of resident students. The Cherokee Nation was granted a $150,000 contract to remodel NSU buildings to house the Talking Leaves Job Corps Center. Classrooms, a cafeteria, and offices 56 Job Corps JOB CORPS: Providing the Tools for Survival for the center were located in Leoser Center, formerly the Residential Life Center for NSU. South Leoser and South- east Leoser Halls, two dormitories connected to the cen- ter, were rehabilitated to house the Talking Leaves stu- dent body of around 400. Partly as a result of the Talking Leaves Center being located in Leoser complex, Northeastern was freed from the threat of impending default on the dorm bonds. For the first time since 1976, the dormitories generated the $614,000 to meet the bond payment. Providing students with the tools for survival in the working world and a background of basic education skills is the thrust of the Talking Leaves curriculum. As the name ‘‘Job Corps’”’ suggests, vocational education is the primary goal of the center, but the job-oriented studies are supplemented with course work in such areas as reading, math, health, driver education, Native American studies, and some students work towards completion of the General Educational Development program, or GED, which helps students receive the equivalent of a high school diploma. Someone familiar with the traditional classroom might feel a little out of place in one of the center’s basic edu- cation classes. The teacher-student relationship is relaxed and fairly informal. Nearly all the work is individu- alized and each student works at his or her own pace. Many of the students in Talking Leaves did not suc- ceed in public schools, because teachers could not, or would not, take the time to work with them on a one-to- one basis. “I tell students that | am their tutor and record keeper,”’ said Catherine Wittmer, graded reading instructor. How much the students push themselves to learn and prog- ress determines how long it takes to finish a course. “| was really surprised,’ Wittmer said. ‘I’m a traditional classroom teacher but this system really works,’’ added the instructor, who had taught in elementary schools over the past seven years, including work in ghetto areas. One area of study not found in most Job Corps pro- grams is the Native American Studies and Intergroup Rel- ations. According to Wayne Wallace, instructor, the course is designed to expose students to their Indian her- itage, to teach them to deal with discrimination, and to show how the Native American relates to modern society. “Basically, we try to instill a sense of self-confidence. You have to be proud of who you are and where you are from,’ Wallace said. Educational programs at the center are designed to help trainees find and hold jobs. Other programs outside the classroom prepare the graduate for entry into the working world. The center operates a placement service to help the students find jobs, and provides other ser- vices, such as contacting urban Indian programs, who can aid a graduate from a rural area to cope with city life, or getting in touch with alcohol and drug abuse centers, who inform the graduate of alternative activities so that the former student does not become involved with the drug problems of urban areas. Self-motivation and self-respect are two things that fac- ulty and staff at the Talking Leaves Job Corps Center are working to help their trainees obtain. If they are success- ful, then perhaps just because a kid can not survive in public school will not mean he can not survive in life. 1.

A teacher places her hand lightly over the hands of several skeptical students in a humanities class, and the students suddenly feel their hands become cold, tingly, suspended in jelly or other unusual sensations. The teacher conducting the demonstration is Dr. Arias, who, far from staying constantly up in her ivory tower writing treaties, essays and textbooks, lists among her many tal- ents certification as a qualified lecturer in Silva Mind Con- trol. Teaching people how to reach and utilize the great energies in their minds is the major purpose of Silva Mind Control method, according to Dr. Arias. Increased cre- ativity, the control of bad habits, and improving abilities to acquire information are some of the benefits people have gained from learning Silva Mind Control techniques, Arias said. Dr. Arias said that she became interested in mind con- trol when she began learning the techniques to cure a very bad habit of hers, insomnia. “With this method | learned to fall asleep in twenty min- utes,’’ Arias commented, eyes flashing brightly. “It’s opened up unbelievable paths and roads,’ she said, commenting about her own personal mind experi- ences with Silva Mind Control. One minor incident, Arias recalls, involved her daugh- ter, herself, and a car taking up more of a narrow road than it should have. Arias recalls that one day when her daughter was driv- ing her to a country club along a narrow road, Dr. Arias suddenly saw in her mind a car speeding head on in front of the car. In her mind, Dr. Arias relates, she visualized herself showing her daughter how to turn the car to avoid the accident. Not wishing to perhaps unnecessarily frighten her daughter, she did not mention the mental scene. ——_—_——_—€——_—¥—¥—K—eK—X—_—_—_e_o leenecetaseniuadael Sometime later, a car did pop over a hill too fast on the wrong side of the road, and Dr. Arias’ daughter, although a beginning driver, turned the car as her mother had mentally instructed her to do in visualization. Despite the use of the word ‘‘control’’ and emphasis on using mind powers, Silva Mind Control does not violate religious principles or teach people how to perform the control of other’s minds for black magic purposes, Arias hastened to stress. ‘Jose Silva (the creator of the basic Silva Mind Control techniques) insists you can not use the mind in the alpha state for negative purposes,”’ Arias said. | Auto-suggestion relaxation exercises and mind condi- tioning are some of the techniques used by an instructor in Silva Mind Control courses to teach people how to reach and channel their mind energies. Although auto-suggestion often brings to mind hypno- sis, Dr. Arias stressed that there are distinct differences. “In hypnosis the person goes into deep levels of the mind under the control of the hypnotist, and when they come out of the hypnotic state they do not remember any of the things in the deeper state,” Arias said. | Visualization and projection are exercises commonly i used to teach the control tec hnique. A favorite exercise of Dr. Arias is asking students to visualize a wall in their ! home, then to visualize it a different color and to see with their minds how a chair would look placed against the II newly-colored wall. The exercise helps to improve cre- ative ability. | Dr. Arias does not teach any beginning classes in Silva 'h Mind Control, nor does she teach any mind control courses at NSU due to her responsibility to her humani- ties, Spanish and other classes. She does, however, lec- ture in graduate Silva Mind Control seminars all over the United States and in foreign countries. Among other distinctions from the stereotype profes- sor, in addition to being a pert attractive blonde, Dr. Arias has not one, but two doctoral degrees. She received her first doctoral degree from the Univer- sity of Buenos Aires in Argentina, in philosophy, literature and the classics; Dr. Arias is a native of Argentina. She holds her second doctoral degree in comparative litera- ture from the University of Arkansas. 1. Dr. Bogdy Arias may have a Spanish accent, but that does not have anything to do with her liking to teach English, especially her favorite class, Contemporary Masterpieces. 2. Most of her classes are relatively small, and Dr. Arias finds it helpful in establishing student-teacher rapport in the classroom. Dr. Bogdanka Arias 59 : oy i� . D Z ay V4] ( 7 , ‘ 4 : : Oy: Sane : XG Entertainment 60 Entertainment _ It took Hollywood almost ten years to use the Vietnam War as a major theme in movies, but when they did, it paid off. Jane Fonda and Jon Voight won best actress and actor Oscars for their performances in ‘‘Coming Home,” the story of a veteran’s wife and her paraplegic lover. Also, “‘The Deer Hunter,’’ which starred Robert DeNiro, won best picture. Fonda was also involved in a film that almost imitated life. ‘The China Syndrome”’ opened mere weeks before the accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Har- risburg, Pa. Although Ralph Bakshi’s animated version of J. R. R. Tolkien's ‘‘Lord of the Rings’’ played before mixed reviews, it was certainly the most impressive animated film of the year, surpassing the violent ‘‘Watership Down.” Clint Eastwood made an attempt at the wacky come- | dies of Burt Reynolds’ with his “Every Which Way But Loose.”’ Though not Eastwood's best film, it did very well at the box office. Sally Field, last seen with Reynolds in “Hooper,” established herself as a serious actress in “Norma Rae.” The film version of the popular 1960s musical ‘‘Hair’’ , met with fantastic reviews; the Tulsa World called it the best musical since ‘‘Cabaret.”’ Science fiction and fantasy fans had their fill as movie companies tried to cash in on the success of ‘‘Star Wars.” Warner Brothers came out in December with ‘‘the ultimate alien encounter’’ as the comic book hero “Superman” was brought to life on the big screen, win- ning a special Academy Award for special effects. Another comic strip character, ‘‘Buck Rogers,’’ was brought to the screen but not to life. ‘The Boys From Bra- zil’’ starred Gregory Peck as a Nazi scientist cloning Hit- | ler, and Lawrence Olivier as his enemy. ‘“‘Heaven Can Wait” had Warren Beatty as a man who died too soon and is sent back to earth in another man’s body. On television, ABC stayed on top of the ratings with “Happy Days,” ‘“‘Laverne and Shirley,” ‘‘Three’s Com- pany” and the new sitcom with Robin Williams, ‘‘Mork and Mindy.’’ CBS moved up as ‘‘60 Minutes” edged its way into the top ten. NBC was floundering, even with the addition of Fred Silverman, fresh from No. 1 ABC, as head of programming. The big flop of the season was Glen Larson’s multi-mil- lion dollar ‘“‘Battlestar Galactica.’’ The rewritten ‘“‘Wagon Train’ scripts totally ignored laws of physics and sci- ence, failing to capture the science fiction crowd it reached for so desperately. Meanwhile, the British series “Doctor Who” found its way to American PBS and inde- pendent stations. The Public Broadcasting System proved it was on a par with its British counterparts when it presented the entirely American made ‘‘Scarlet Letter.’’ CBS presented “Friendly Fire,’”’ a TV-movie about a family’s search for the truth behind their son’s death in Vietnam. And ABC presented ‘“‘Roots: the Next Generations,’’ which fea- tured Marlon Brando in his first television role. Although not grabbing the ratings of the first “Roots,” it was one of the most-watched shows of the year. On the music charts, the Bee Gees remained on top, while another member of the family, Andy Gibb, had the top single of the year with “Shadow Dancing.” New art- ists on the charts included Meat Loaf, Player, Bob Welch, Eddie Money, Gerry Rafferty and Nicolette Larson. The number one country album was ‘‘Stardust” by Willie Nel- son. Easy listening favorites included England Dan and John Ford Coley, Billy Joel, the Commodores, Barry Man- ilow, and Crystal Gayle. Among the top soundtracks was “The Buddy Holly Story,”” which featured Oklahoma's own Gary Busey. Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand recorded “You Don't Bring Me Flowers”’ together after a disc jockey took their separate recordings and played them together.

We rub elbows with them Harvard guys. And they are honored to rub elbows with us. In the Model United Nations. “The program enables Northeastern students to com- pete on an academic, political and social level compara- ble to schools such as Princeton, USC, Harvard, Yale, Illi- nois State, etc.’’ said John Tonkin, Tahlequah junior. Tonkin, along with Susie Holloway, Oklahoma City sophomore, Kevin Sublett, Muskogee junior, Stephen Greubel, Tahlequah junior, Paul Greubel, Tahlequah freshman, and Marty Galloway, Wagoner freshman, rep- resented NSU at Model U.N. conferences held all over the United States. The small but formidable delegation received the out- standing delegation and security council awards for the sixth straight year at the Midwest Model United Nations Conference held in St. Louis, Mo. Because of their past performances, NSU delegates were given preference in representing assigned countries in the international scene. The delegation received the distinction on the basis of its preparation and overall performance during the four- day conclave, which brought together some 60 college A3 and university delegations from 13 midwestern states. Holloway, who was voted outstanding delegate at the conference, explained, ‘‘The biggest thing the Model U.N. has done for me is that it has given me the ability to perceive matters of international concern from the view of other nations.” “Being a delegate has made me recognize what goes on in international affairs and the difficulties in reaching agreements,” said Stephen Greubel. Discipline and hard work go into representing a third world country, but it is fulfilling. “| received a sense of sympathy for the underdevel- Oped countries, and | was able to divorce myself from the American culture,’ explained Holloway. “I’ve matured a lot, and feel like | have the responsibil- ity of the nation on my back,” said Galloway. Pride and enthusiasm, along with the knowledge that they were competing (and doing it very well) against uni- versities of the country, inspired these delegates when they were in conference debating 12 to 14 hours a day for the represented country. Besides the Midwest conference, the delegation attended the National Model United Nations in New York City in April. In New York the six-member group interacted with del- egations from 120 schools drawn from across the coun- try. ‘It was a unique opportunity, not only to test one’s self against the best delegations that other universities sent, but also a singular opportunity to actually work in the atmosphere of the United Nations,’’ said Dr. Don Betz, Campus coordinator. It is without question, however, that the best delegation list includes Northeastern State University. 1. Nine months before the all-important conferences were attended, Model U.N. delegates John Tonkin and Marty Galloway were spending countless hours of research in the library pouring over books and peri- odicals. 2. A decisive debater, head delegate Susie Holloway ponders over her researched facts. 3.

Where we came from, what our traditions are, and our structure of values all combine to form the basis of us as individuals, ” stated President W. Roger Webb during the planning of the first of NSU’s two cultural programs, the Black Herit- age Celebration. A host of prominent blacks, including Emmy Award winner William Marshall, were on hand for the Black Her- itage celebration, ‘‘Black Images in Fine Arts, Literature, and the Media,” held March 27-30. Highlights of the three-day event included a presenta- tion entitled ‘Images of Blacks in the Media,”’ with Don- ald Bogle, former story editor for Otto Preminger and award-winning author. Some of NSU’s own black talent was featured in ‘‘Stu- dent Presentations.” A play from the ‘‘Good Times’ tele- vision series as well as poetry and gospel singing were presented, with Carla Jefferson, youth vice president of the Texas National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, highlighting the second day’s program. “An Evening with Fredrick Douglass” with William Mar- shall concluded the celebration following the Black Herit- age Banquet. The film star recreated the life and times of civil rights activist Douglass, a 19th century black Ameri- can writer and orator. The seventh annual symposium on the American Indian, “Old and New Ways: Cultural Development in Contemporary Society,” featured Pulitzer Prize winner Dr. N. Scott Momaday, a Kiowa Indian, April 5-6. Miss Indian America, Susan Arkeketa, an Otoe Mis- souri-Creek, opened the symposium by speaking of past and present conditions among Indian people. Featured speakers for the symposium included Burm- mett Echohawk, Pawnee writer, actor and internationally displayed Indian artist; and Momaday, poet and profes- sor, and author of ‘‘House Made of Dawn.” Also participating were Peter MacDonald, chairman of the Navajo Tribal Council and former ‘‘code-talker’’ in World War II; Dr. Dean Chavers, president of Bacone Col- lege; and Leroy Falling, Indian educator. 64 Roots Celebrations 7 He ss per ¢t Wye AAA ES eee ae ee ee we 1.

Roots Celebrations 65 Spring Fling - Held a week later than originally planned because of rain, the Spring Fling stood alone this year as the high- light of NSU’s Annual Spring Fling Activities. An estimated 1,000 students and friends attended the Bash, basking in the sun and listening to the music of such bands as Randy Crouch and the Flying Horse Opera, Foreplay, and Moonshine. Sponsored by the Northeastern Activities Board and Student Senate, the Bash was held at Cherokee Landing State Park, 15 miles south of Tahlequah on Highway 82. A barbecue, gong show, disco and special prices at the Cue Bowl constituted the activities of the first day of Spring Fling held the week prior to the Bash. Tuesday was highlighted by the appearance of nation- ally-known hypnotist Dr. Richard De La Font. Twenty NSU students were hypnotized by De La Font during the show as an almost capacity crowd packed the Fine Arts Audito- rium to watch. Spades, backgammon, foosball and frisbee golf tour- naments were also held Tuesday, with a picnic dinner being served in the cafeteria that evening. Tournament finals were held on Thursday with an awards dinner for the winners served in the campus cafe- teria. The movie, “Enter the Dragon,”’ co-sponsored by NAB and Lambda Alpha Epsilon, and the Spring Choral Con- cert Thursday evening completed the week’s activities. 1. Basking in the sun and downing cool drinks, students at the Spring Bash relax at Cherokee Landing State Park on Lake Tenkiller. 2. For entertainment, students were treated to several performing bands. 3. Some who found themselves suddenly so white in the bright sun took comfort with tanning lotions on their backs. 4. Bronze and scarlet skins were bared, soaking up sun and lotion. 5. Not to be outdone by bikini-clad girls, some male students shed T- shirts for the warm outdoor weather. 66 Spring Fling Spring Fling 67 ing Queen ig ilyn Cra Homecom Mar 68 Homecoming Queen poset. ! oF; Gr he om Northeastern Bobbie Points ISS 69 Miss Northeastern INCESS _ Q_ NG ® w ©) cx Eo S25 (x 5 = 1D) Sc O Indian Heritage Week Princess 70 : pe eer ee ee ee are iM } Be. 7 - é Miss Cherokee Brenda Krouse : | Miss Cherokee 71 Captoria Aldridge, Steve Jeffrey Black Heritage Queen and King 72 Black Heritage Queen and King fe —L—=—= EL Eee Sherry Traylor Calendar Girl Calendar Girl 73 74 Organizations organizations | Service — answering the Call Organizations 75 eae a Forty-nine NSU pledges were initi- ated into the Oklahoma Alpha chap- ter of Alpha Chi.

Forty-seven students were listed in this year’s edition of the presti- at gious book, including 12 who were also listed the previous yea r.

After that things get a little tougher. The Tsa La Gi is an attempt to chronicle the events, the attitudes and the faces that make a school year unique. Staffers made phone calls, banged out copy on typewriters, agonized over a choice of theme, got migraines over lost negatives, and breathed a heartfelt thanks to the Force when the copy shipment was made. In addition to these people were the photogra- phers, yearbook company a7 and ee members of The Northeastern staff. Two honorable mention awards in graphic design and photography were given to the 1978 Tsa La Gi by the National Society for Collegiate Journalists. You might have picked up an old yearbook while waiting in a dentist or doctor’s office, and spent idle time flipping through a record of the lives of other peo- ple in other times. You may have seen a yearbook used to settle a bet about what was the name of that little short guy in General Physical Science. Someday, when the fashions change, and people adopt new ideas and attitudes, we hope this will be one way of remembering how we looked and thought, when we become the people in other times. 2.

The audience received brown paper bag ballots before the debate on which to cast their ballot. Unlike many Oklahoma mailmen who were forced to arrive late or not come at all because of the huge amounts of snow and sleet, NAB kept to its appointed goal of keeping the year busy during the cold, wet, slippery winter weather greeting students during the spring semester. Instead of slowing them down, they presented an avalanche of movies such as the “Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Younger Smarter Brother’ and ‘The Last Remake of Beau Geste”’ and several forums.

Their first semester, under the direction of Dr. Ralph Whit- worth, concentrated on the annual Boare’s Heade Feaste, which used madrigal-type singing. Second semester, under the direction of Marvin Beach, the group became a jazz choir, concentrating its efforts on the intricate vocal jazz which is more diffi- cult than rock due to the fact that it has no definite hard beat. 94 Northeastern Singers 1.

The club, however, proved to have the most dedication to another purpose: the pro- motion of scholarship in all areas of knowledge among its members. Several members won awards during the year. Dur- ing the club's trip to the Oklahoma Academy of Sci- ence of Oklahoma at Stillwater, two club members pre- sented research papers and brought back awards. At another science meeting, a member of the club returned with Frank G. Brooks Award for Outstanding Presentation of a Scientific Paper. iy The Biology Club helped sponsor the Oklahoma Junior Academy of Sciences, and sponsored a clean- up of Beta Pond. Raffles, bake sales, a hayrides skating party, and a small dance provided members with chances to rest from their academic endeavors and to reap the bene- fits of their profitable year. 2.

Members lived during the academic year at the Cam- pus Christian Fellowship House located near the cam- pus, or on the organization's floors in North West Leo- ser or in South West Leoser. Bible studies and encounter groups, including two for married couples, helped members achieve reli- gious training and growth. Group fellowship was fur- ther shared by participation in two retreats, one at Heart of the Hills Camp near Tahlequah and the other 102 Campus Christian Fellowship at Kings Camp near Mannford. Sunday mornings and evenings found CCF mem- bers witnessing their faith, performing music and drama productions and participating in a wide variety of church services throughout the state, as members of Outreach teams.

Members served as huggers, event timers and cheerers at the Eastern Oklahoma Area Special Olym- pics, and assisted in putting on the annual Senior Girls Tea, an event which brings high school girls to cam- pus for a formal sip of college life. Off-campus, members kept busy brightening the sometimes dreary and dull days of residents at local nursing homes. To further the usefulness of their organization, 106 Delta Sigma Theta sorority sisters spent long hot hours in kitchens baking goodies, and sometimes chilly hours outside selling baked goods, to raise money for the sorority. Putting all of that into the terms of those involved in Delta Sigma Theta, the-sorority’s objectives meant a chance to give, to share and to serve while gaining friendships and memories which would last far beyond their college days. 1.

Members worked hard to make the Indian Heritage Week Symposium a success by serving as escorts for symposium speakers, by working registration, and by serving as coordinators for the arts and crafts room and at the NASA Princess Reception. Some members had the somewhat nerve-wracking experience of intro- ducing honored guest speakers before large groups, and hoping that their carefully planned words would come streaming forth. NASA members worked hard to help Northeastern keep the bells by participating in the campus-wide fund raiser.

Promoting the interests of students in the world around them, the club sponsored two panel discus- sions on campus entitled ‘‘Growing Up Indian and Female,’’ and ‘‘Growing Up Black and Still Growing.” The club was an active and enthusiastic supporter of the ‘‘Help Us Save the Bells’’ fund drive, and for their _ support the club received a one year tuition: scholar- ‘ship and recognition for selling the most shares of stock in the bell s of any independent organization on campus. The scholarship was given to a member of the club. oe The club furthered the professional interests of its members by bringing guest speakers to the meetings. Featured speakers of the year included Dr. Ralph Fos- ter, NSU associate professor of computer science, who spoke on computers and sociology, and Nancy Williams, who talked about the operation of the Tulsa Drug Center. 2.

Sociology Club a9 Student Council for Exceptional Children Help for the misunderstood — Helping children often misunderstood and some- times construed as losers by society become winners, and learning that exceptional children have excep- tional heart, were some of the many experiences mem- bers of the Student Council for Exceptional Children. Activities centered around raising money for events to provide exceptional children in area public schools, and people in area nursing homes, with social experi- ences which they may not otherwise have experi- enced. Raffling tickets on a handmade quilt and selling baked goodies in the Special Services Building were ways club members raised money to make sure that exceptional children had a Halloween party and that they got to see Santa during Christmas. Members also promoted a summer camp for the children, and held parties at area nursing homes for the handicapped. 120 Student Council for Exceptional Children The club also sponsored an exceptional children art show, in which the young artists came and eyed their works Critically, and coached the Tahlequah Tigers, a team of exceptional athletes. Members also helped in the Oklahoma Area Special Olympics, sponsored by the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation, and raised money to take area exceptional athletes to the state - meet. 1.

Student Education Association: Issues in education The Student Education Association began the year with a membership drive, which netted the club with over 250 members who participated in a wide variety of activities. Members got a chance to live a child’s dream come true when they spent long hours bringing the charac- ters of Sesame Street to life for their Homecoming float, which took second place honors in the float con- test. Thirteen delegates took advantage of an opportunity _to visit and discuss issues in education at the State Student Education Association Convention. Mack Dunnagan, SEA president, attended the National Student Education Association Convention in San Diego, Calif. Members kept active by attending workshops on classroom discipline and political action in education. John Pierce, superintendent of the Tahlequah Public Schools, provided useful information on job interview- ing when he spoke before the group. 2. STUDENT EDUCATION ASSOCIATION.

An interior designer, a fashion buyer and a local businesswoman were just a few of the guest speakers who talked on exciting job opportunities in home eco- nomics during the annual spring fashion show hosted by the association. For the first time, a career seminar was included with the show. Members gained valuable experience in organizing functions when they hosted an Easter Egg Hunt for the 122 Student Home Economics Association children of students and faculty.

Members raised money during the year by serving concessions at the annual NSU March- ing Contest, by serving food at the Boares Heade Feaste, and by spending Sundays working at the Sun- day Buffet. Money earned helped pay for a chartered bus to take some spirit to a football game via the pep band, and helped pay for a pizza party for the band during a band trip. Tau Beta Sigma helped, along with Kappa Kappa Psi, to establish an NSU Band Scholarship Trust Fund. 2. TAU BETA SIGMA. 1. Diana Lawson, 2. Miranda Friend, 3. Robyn Davis, 4. Dianna Boyd, 5.

During the fall semester, a small group of active members provided fellow students with a break from studies by offering several movies for their enjoyment and to raise funds for the club. -A family outing brought members of the organization closer together as they spent a day out relaxing in whimsical warm, then cold, Oklahoma fall weather. During the spring, members worked hard to encour- 124 Veteran’s Club age veterans to participate in the club. The club presi- dent took a survey to discover activities in which veter- ans on campus wished to become involved, and to also answer the ever-present question for many clubs — how to obtain more active members. 1.

Wesley Foundation: _ Anew building Student members of the Wesley Foundation found their year marked by an important event in the mem- bers’ lives and in the life of the local United Methodist Church. Spring found workers busy constructing and completing a new Wesley Foundation Student Center built on a shady street a few blocks from campus. The structure was left sparsely furnished, according to the student center director, Gary Wedgewood, to permit student input into the kinds of furnishings and programs the center should house. Student members found themselves in the unique position of helping to create a lasting impact on the programs of the new stu- dent center. “ ie Members participated in retreats, workshops and - outings related to the United Methodist Church. They pursued spiritual growth at weekly Monday night wor- ship services, noon devotional rap sessions, a Sunday School class for single adults, and tutoring at the United Methodist Children’s Home. Friendships were fostered at a variety of sporting and recreational events such as football games, float- ing the river, and attending religious and non-religious classes. 2. WESLEY FOUNDATION.

Open house, skit night, preference night, and beer- flooded parties are some of the opportunities given the rushees — glimpses into what may later become a life-long memory. Future members shop around for the right Greek family, visiting, meet- ing new friends and making life-long acquaintances. Skits, food, drinks and long discussions on an endless variety of subjects are a part of rush nights. Traditional ceremonies highlight “pref” night as rushees make the final decision as to the sorority or fraternity to pledge. The week reaches its climax with the issuing and acceptance of bids on Sunday. No matter what the outcome, each pledge knows that rush has ended and with it comes new friends. 1.

Rush 129 Probably the best known facet of the Greek community is social life. A variety of student bars allow friends to gather for night-to-night celebra- tions and general relaxation. Fraternities and sororities engage in a series of pledge parties designed to let their respective pledges meet, and hold beer busts each week to renew their friend- ships. A special date is reserved on the calendar for the formal because of its unique attempt to bring the entire sorority or fraternity together for a night. Another event that brings the Greek family together is Greek Week, a special week designated for egg tosses, shaving cream fights, a beer bust, and lots of fun. Greek Week is sponsored by the Panhellenic Council and the Inter- fraternity Council, the governing bodies of the sororities and fraterni- ties. The week-long fete is to bring together people who have a mutual bond — belonging to the Greek family. 1. In-between class chats are familiar among frat and sorority members to talk about who's and what's. 2. Tough but friendly competition is found during Greek Week football matches. 3. Sororities found common ground near Beta Pond’s grassy lawn during Greek Week celebrations. 4. In well-attended, usually Greek-sponsored beer busts, foosball games between opposite sexes were not uncommon. 5. Intense volleyball games between fraterni- ties are part of the Greek system. 130 Jolly Greek W2 131 Jolly Greek Greek Academics Academics play a large part in the life of a Greek. There is a constant struggle for excellence within each fraternity and sorority motivated by competition for high grade point averages. Brothers and sisters who excel in certain subjects can often be seen tutoring a struggling mem- ber. Pledges are required to attend study halls and make a certain GPA before being initiated, while actives are encouraged to maintain high standards in their schoolwork. When not studying, Greeks give of their spare time helping various community and civic organizations, which requires participation and coordination of many students efforts to be successful. The involvement of these groups with the community, shown by their interest and ability to use their tal- ents in a meaningful way, boosts appreciation and creates a favora- ble impression for the Greek system. 1. Amidst junk food litter and empty Coke cups, Cheryl Bagley, Acacia Little Sister, finds time to look over class material. 2.

Acacia captured the Greek Week championship title for the second year in a row, and travelled to Bloomingdale, Ill., to participate in the intergalactic basketball tourna- ment. Supporting the Acacians were the Acacia Little Sisters, composed of women across Campus who worked for and with the members of the fra- ternity. Assisting with their rush parties and other campus events, the Little Sisters helped on several commu- nity functions including the Red Cross Blood Drive.

The person who was most responsible for the establishment of the chapter is Dr. Harold Aldridge, associate professor of psychology. Kappa Alpha Psi aimed toward a stronger brotherhood and academic excellence in each member. As one of two black fraternities on Campus, the Kapp’s raised money through disco dances and social functions such as their spring for- mal. Formerly known as Kappa Kittens, TCK severed with Kappa Alpha Psi upon a decision from the national headquarters. TCK’s letters are known only to members, with the secret revealed upon initiation. The group of young women worked closely with Kappa Alpha Psi, and gave donations to the Tah- lequah Methodist Home. Other yearly activities of TCK included sponsorship of a Homecoming dance, stomp show, sock hops and participation in intramural softball. Spring and fall semesters were highlighted by the Kappa Ball and Sweetheart Dance. 1. Kappa Walter Goudeau is pleased with the outcome of an intramural volleyball match. 2. KAPPA ALPHA PSI. J. B.

Ten men did so. A time was set when all could meet and decide on a policy, and begin to organize. In a short time, a constitution was adopted, but a name could not be decided upon, and consequently the name of “‘orphans”’ was adopted by the campus. Each succeeding year was marked with advancements. In the second year a house was rented, and here the men developed more frat life. Finally a name was picked for the local frat — Kappa Phi Kappa. In October 1930, the local frat merged with a national one, giving them the name we now know — Phi Sigma Epsilon. 1.

Greeks wear T-shirts, necklaces and rings, all bearing Greek letters. Greeks work, live and play together. There is Homecoming, with its sleepless nights, when professors bless everyone with at least four tests, nine papers and a variety of book reports, an oral interpretation, class presentation and projects. There is rush, fall and spring, filled with hours of planning for new mem- bers. There is weekly skit practices and weekend work days. There are problems. within Greeks, problems between Greeks, : and problems about Greeks. Oh yes, there are parties. Parties for rush, parties for birthdays, par- ties for alumni, actives and pledges, and parties for parties’ sake. There are teas, beer busts, banquets, and | the eagerly-awaited Spring Formal. There is a never ending call for assistance in Walk-a-thons, Heart Fund Drives, Blood Drives, and Spe- cial Olympics. Greeks always answer.

When the year had come to a close, the Redmen finished with a 6-3-1 overall record. As in every football season, there were the high points, and the low, but the good did outweigh the bad. Northeastern placed five players on the All-Conference Oklahoma Intercollegiate team, in linebacker Keith Miller, tailback R. C. Morrow, punter Mark Ross, defensive end Victor Boykins, and defensive back Mainard Roberts. The Redmen had two players to make honorable men- tion All-America in Morrow, who was the OIC’s leading scorer, and Miller, who was the OIC’s co-defensive player of the year. NSU also had the nation’s leading punter in Ross. 1. R. C. Morrow crosses the goal line for another score in Homecoming action against Central Missouri. 2.

Most of the players had only begun to play the sport the year before, suffering through a winless schedule. Practicing only one time before the '78 slate began, the Redmen dropped their first two games. But the team began to jell from that point. They would not lose another game the rest of the year. The defense was probably most responsible, accord- ing to Charles “‘Chip’’ Shoun. Shutting out the University of Tulsa at home was perhaps the best single game played all season. Development of the fall soccer team saw the spring ’79 team with more depth than ever before, with the majority of the team’s players returning. After the regular season last year, the soccer team held an awards banquet. Individual awards were given in five categories. The Most Valuable Player award went to Ali Shafie from Iran. Fellow countryman, Kavon Soodjani was named Best Offensive Player. The Most Improved Player was Doug Whitney from Tulsa, and Rookie of the year honors were split between two members, Ziad Hamzeh of Jordan, and Larry Gullette from Tulsa. Best Defensive Player was Madjid Vahdat- pour, Iran.

Soccer 163 bh Al After losing their first seven straight games, Northeast- ern’s women’s volleyball team completely turned the sea- son around by winning 12 of their final 17 contests and a respectable finish in the state tournament at Cameron. The Lady Reds, composed of a balanced squad includ- ing two players from each of the senior, junior and soph- omore classes, and four freshmen, played their first 12 straight games on the road, which could account for their slow start. Coach Ina Anderson's charges placed third in the Northern Arkansas Community College Invitational Tour- nament, including three straight victories in a one-day span. ‘We were in a building year and towards the end of the season we were beating some of the teams we had lost to earlier in the year,’’ Anderson said. Our most satisfying win had to be over Bethany, she continued. ‘“‘They had defeated us earlier in the year under controversial situations, but we got them the sec- ond time around.” : The Lady Reds were sparked by the play of senior Jill Overhuls, who topped the team in serving and was sin- gled out by Coach Anderson as the team’s Most Valuable Player. Jackie Bullock placed the team in spiking while sharing the top blocking spot with Jonita Ford. Having people that could come off the bench and per- form well in critical situations was another asset the Lady Reds had.

A year that saw a complete turn-around from the previous campaign. After a one-year absence in which he devoted full-time to duties as athletic director, Dr. Jack Dobbins returned to the coaching ranks. Another familiar name, Ron Cox, joined Dobbins to guide the Redmen. When the campaign began, things already looked brighter. A trio of starters returned, along with veteran let- termen and talented transfers. When the last buzzer sounded, the Redmen supported a 21-5 record. The season began with a string of eight straight wins, including triumphs over both Oklahoma Baptist and Phil- lips University twice. The winning streak was broken in the second round of the Regents’ Classic Tournament, when the Redmen fell victim to Southwest Texas State. After dropping to the University of Tulsa, NSU won six more games in a row, bringing their record to 15-2. This bundle of victories included the capture of their own Northeastern Tournament and the Bethel Invitational at Newton, Kan. The Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference opened next and the Redmen, predicted to finish in the cellar, had something to say. NSU downed the Rangers of Northwestern in their first conference outing before losing to Southwestern by a slim two point margin. The Redmen then knocked off four more opponents before the Bulldogs defeated them again by the same difference. ., After handling both Southeastern and East Central to finish second in the OIC, Northeastern came into the playoffs with an impressive 21-4 mark to meet Central State’s Bronchos. The Bronchos proved to be too much for the Redmen, eliminating them from the NAIA playoffs 73-69. The loss marked a total of three downfalls totaling a difference of eight points. 1.

That’s exactly what you have to say of the 1978-79 Lady Reds basketball squad. Northeastern closed out its season with a 19-6 record under head coach Willa Faye Mason in her sixteenth year: a somewhat better finish than their 11-7 mark of last season. Jo Etta Terrell, who was selected to play in the Oklahoma Coaches’ Association Second Annual All-Star game, paced the Lady Reds in scoring with a 15.3 aver- age. The senior forward had a season high game of 28 points against Langston. Guards Lisa Cole and Marcia Sutter each averaged 15.1 points per contest. Linda Nix was the fourth player to score in double figures, hitting at 10.5 clip per game. Underneath the basket for the Lady Reds was Jonita Ford, who grabbed an average of 13.6 rebounds per game and had a season high of 23 against Langston. Northeastern began its campaign by victimizing Col- lege of the Ozarks, and rode on a seven game winning streak before Langston broke the string on the Lions’ home floor. NSU picked up its winning way by trouncing John Brown, and did not fall again until meeting Langston in the finals of the Central State tournament, suffering a two point 81-79 loss. ' Northeastern finished the season with a perfect home count of 9-0, including a 100-67 thrashing of Bethany Nazarene in their biggest scoring display of the year. Coach Mason was aided in her coaching duties by Joel Haas, former Redman star, who was another reason for the Lady Reds’ success. 1.

While closing out the season with a 0-5-25 record, the men on the diamond witnessed what it was like to lose one-run games as they dropped five of their contests by that narrow margin. Included in that five were defeats from powerful Tulsa University 7-6 and Southeastern 5-4. The Redmen’s first triumph of the year came against George Williams College 6-0, followed by a 1-0 white- washing of Winona State and a 4-0 decision handed to Southwestern. All of these victories were in the first game of some 15 doubleheaders. NSU’s other two wins came against East Central 12-2, while the Redmen clipped Northwestern 6-2 in the first game of their final twinbill. It was a season in which the pitching and hitting couldn't get together at the right time, or the defense folded in the final innings. When it was all over, catcher R. C. Morrow topped the Club in hitting with a .333 mark, followed by second base- man Rick Shoemaker’s .315 average. Centerfielder Mark Ross and Morrow led the squad in homeruns with six, while leftfielder Steve Booth was next in line with five. Booth also led the team in runs batted in with 21, and Ross finished close behind with 20. Shoemaker paced the team with 29 hits, followed by 24 for Morrow. In the pitching department Brian Skelton picked up the most wins, 3, while Mike Wilmon had two. 1. Pitcher Rusty Farrar winds up to throw to a John Brown batter. Catch- ing is R. C. Morrow. 2.

The NSU women started things out on the right foot with an opening double header victory over John Brown. Coach Ina Anderson’s charges next stop was the Sooner Invitational at Norman. While losing all three games in the tourney, the Lady Reds endured some pretty tough company including the No. 2 team in the nation, Minnesota University. NSU fell to the Gulfers in a tight contest, 2-1. Northeastern then reeled off a six win streak with three doubleheader triumphs over Missouri Southern, John Brown, and Northeastern A M. Having compiled a 13-7 mark at mid-season, NSU entered the Oklahoma Baptist Invitational. The Lady Reds sweeped the three game set including a 15-0 rout of Cameron in the finals. NSU closed out the regular season with a double- header sweep over OBU, but dropped a twinbill to Mis- souri Southern before moving on to the State Tourna- ment. The Lady Reds squared off with Central State in first round action, losing a close one to the Bronchos 9-7. Ral- lying back in the double elimination affair, NSU dropped OBU twice in back-to-back contests before Cameron handled them 9-6 in the final game. Northeastern completed the season with a team batting average of .361 led by Jill Overhuls’ .539 mark and Jackie Bullock’s .522 final total, while Mickie Barnes sparked the pitching staff. At the beginning of the season Coach Anderson was quoted as saying, ‘‘This will be one of the best teams Northeastern has put out as all of the girls are working hard and have a lot of potential.”’ The Lady Reds of 1979 did play up to their potential, but consequently in the State Tournament they fell to teams they had defeated soundly in regular season play. 176 Softball Softball: Enduring tough company i atts Bi ATE (itt -— ' 63 ee ee Bu LECCE a if ; 1.

Mike Daney, who, according to thinclad coach Kelly Whiteley, proved to be NSU’s “‘strong point,’’ broke Roger Morris’ two mile record of 10:50.78 set in 1977, by covering the course in 10:15. The long distance runner broke his own mark two weeks later with a time of 10:11.7. His other record was set in the mile where he turned in a time of 4:33.2, set by Eli Hendricks in 1970. Continuing his outstanding season, Daney placed first in conference in the two mile run. Pete Polson also established a new school record in the long jump. His distance of 23 feet, 10% inches bettered the old mark set by Terry Phillips of 23 feet, 7 inches. Polson’s effort was good enough for first place in the conference. Also doing well for the Redmen were shot putters Pete Abbey and Don Padgett. Abbey placed third in the confer- ence and Padgett fifth.

Bow to each other. . . Fighting stance — Begin!” The shorter man, most of his weight balanced on his left leg, begins with a front snap kick with his left leg. But the opponent has turned too much, exposing his back to the shorter man. The opponent's left shoulder is caught, and the shorter man delivers blows to the kidneys. ‘““Break!’’ calls the referee, temporarily halting the match. To the observer, the sport of karate seems violent; yet karate is as much an exercise of the mind as of the body, according to Michael Murphy, philosophy and social sci- ence instructor and black belt with the Northeastern Karate Club. “Karate is an art form, a tremendous tool in putting you in touch with your body,’’ Murphy stated. In the spring the club had an undefeated record, win- ning the team trophy at every tournament it attended, including the state championship at Del City. “Karate teaches you to defend yourself, but what is important is what karate teaches you about yourself. It makes you deal with yourself, because you can’t kid any- body in karate,’’ Murphy explained. “You can’t carry hangups into karate class because they'll hang you up. You can’t go in with a bad attitude and expect to last,’’ continued Murphy. The Northeastern Karate Club is a branch of the Kinney Karate Association, formed by Bob Kinney of Tulsa, a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do Korean karate. Tae Kwon Do uses the feet more than the hands in fighting, mainly because the legs have more muscles than any other part of the body. ‘‘This is one of the most popular styles of karate in America today. It emphasizes simplicity in style, and employs simple, hard, fast maneu- vers,’ Kinney said. “We try to teach people the art of self-defense, but karate also teaches the art of self-awareness. Karate is probably the greatest leveler there ever was. Everything — education, sex, religion — it’s all left at the door when you take karate. It’s more than just learning how to fight; it’s a philosophical way of life,’’ Murphy said. 186 Karate 1. Mary Hammond and Jan Goad spar with each other in the south gym.

Like most stereotypes, this one, usually, is inaccurate. (Although we are sure there are still isolated cases of people infected with Geewhizimincollege.) Technically, a freshman is anyone with zero to thirty hours of credit. Basically, they are people of all ages, from all walks of life, who have decided that they want to further their education. They are people who have set some sort of goal, perhaps only a vague one, and are working towards fulfilling it. It is their first outing in the wide wonderful world of higher education. lAne - sensh ae «eh i omen James Ashton Bartlesville Felicia Atchison Eufaula Virginia Atchley Mazie John Autry Broken Arrow Anthony Bacon Stroud Cheryl Bagley Sallisaw Charles Bailey Arkoma Susan Baine Tahlequah Donna Baker Arkoma Ladonna Baker Tahlequah Michael Baker Sapulpa Gene Baldwin Muskogee Carolyn Ball Watts Mary Ballard Tahlequah Ted Ballenger Sallisaw Barry Bannon Muskogee Mary Barnes Maysville John Barnoski Tahlequah Gayle Bass Muskogee Terry Bass Muskogee Paul Batt Tahlequah Michele Baustert Sperry Charles Baxter Sperry Chery!

Winkle, a Broken Arrow freshman, said she didn’t get serious about her twirling until she was in junior high. She twirled for two years in high school and was a cheerleader for two years. Four years ago Winkle began com- peting in national events. She spent five to six hours daily during the sum- mer in practice. ‘‘One solo is like run- ning a mile,” said Winkle about her contest preparation. In the winter she practices two to three hours a day, and runs to build her stamina. Winkle has twirled in two different organizations, the National Baton Twir- ling Association, and the United States Twirling Association, the latter to which she now belongs. She likes the United States Twirling Association because ‘‘they run their nationals bet- ter.” As to how she garnered the sixth place ranking in national competition, she first went to the Oklahoma contest where she was crowned 1978 Oklahoma champion in the collegiate division, and then went on to the national competition in Milwaukee, Wis. “In competition twirling you have a lot of ballet and you need good bal- ance,” she explained. Winkle said that when she teaches she recommends that students take ballet as well as twir- ling.

Roger Webb. Faculty, staff members and students joined in to pick up unsightly campus litter. Over 15 sacks of trash were col- lected in less than two hours by the group. Stemming from the effort is the employment of several stu- dents to comprise the litter patrol, whose job is to keep the Campus Clean. Beta Pond: Still Romantic “People are basically good and concerned about litter if it is just brought to their atten- tion. What we tried to demon- strate with this clean-up was that litter is unwanted on cam- pus,” said Webb. The clean-up of Beta Pond, located east of the president’s house, south of campus, has been the project of at least two student organizations in an effort to get rid of campus eye- sores. According to one campus legend, couples used to walk the length of the bridge over the pond and kiss, hoping to assure marriage.

Why the ambiguity? Probably because in the hierarchy of educa- tion, everyone at or below the sophomore level looks at him as a vet. He has been in college for at least a year, and in some cases, substantially longer. Everyone above the sophomore, instruc- tors and upperclassmen, look at him as someone who has so much more to learn. We have all heard of sophomoric humor, which is another term that is probably becoming less appropriate due to the wide ranges of ages and social backgrounds among students of this classification. A 45- year-old mother of five is not likely to give the old prof a hot-foot, may never watch Sat- urday Night Live, nor read National Lam- poon. The sophomore has picked up at least thirty hours, and has reached the point in his career when it is time to declare a major. He is now exposed to a degree plan and sent to anew academic adviser. The goals become clearer, and there are at least two years to go.

Horn is the product of an Army family a nd has lived in Germany, France, Switzerland and in 16 states. While living in Mainz, Germany, he studied drama under Emile Rospouiza, a famous drama teacher. But Horn said he really didn’t enjoy it. According to Horn, Rospoulza was an eccentric and left very little room for individuality as he told his students exactly how and where to move on stage. “He kinda soured me on the theater for a while,”’ he said. Horn made a name for himself the first semester he was at Northeastern State in the role of Phillip in ‘““‘The Lion in Winter.’’ He has also appeared in several other presentations. Among Horn’s hobbies are playing the guitar, and throwing water balloons at moving Cars. Horn feels that the Feaste is not bor- ing for him, even though this was his second year. “| like the audience | perform to, and | like to interact with them. Content- wise it’s not boring because I’m always learning new lines that have been added,”’ he stated. : As for future plans, Horn stated that he would like to write a play and maybe have a restaurant-theater later on.

Wells makes skateboarding look gracefully easy, but it took a lot of practice and a few painful injuries.

He will probably find that he is a junior. There is a secure feeling that comes with being a junior. It is still a year from gradua- tion, and the student knows the ropes. Jun- iors can be found in the snack bar during enrollment giving freshmen and sopho- mores the book on various instructors: who is dull, who is interesting, who is tough and who is not. Some juniors are a little less secure, because it is a year for new beginnings. Some have left the familiar surrounding of a community or junior college and now are running around asking freshmanesque questions, even though they are upper- classmen. A junior can usually tell you precisely which classes he must complete to get a degree, when he plans to take them, and at the end of which semester he will go through convocation. One year to go.

It used to be that policewomen were only found in Hollywood movies or gla- morized TV shows. The women’s lib movement may have initiated the increased interest in policing — femi- nine style — but one NSU coed says her ambition to become a police officer has little to do with proving the libera- tion of womankind. “| don’t look at this career as a guy’s job. I’m going to be a police officer because | want to,’ said Linda Eddings, Okemah junior. Some of the cases best handled by female officers, according to Eddings, are rapes and family disputes. Eddings, a criminal justice major, hopes to become a juvenile officer Crime Fighting: Woman's Side Kathy Galbreath Checotah Michael Gallagher Tahlequah Larry Garde Muskogee Virgie Garner Henryetta Dennis Garrison Muskogee Sandra Girdner Welling Jackie Glass Kansas Michael Glenn Colcord Thelma Goad Claremore Laura Godfrey Muskogee Elaine Gowen South Coffeyville George Graves Muskogee Kathryn Gray Eufaula Yvonna Gray Tahlequah Rosie Grego Tahlequah hal Ezekiel Gritts Tahlequah Cynthia Gulager Tahlequah Larry Gullette Tulsa Debbie Guthrie Westville Jim Hadley Pryor Leland Hair Spavinaw Connie Haley Salina John Hall Webbers Falls David Hallman Tahlequah after training, handling criminal offen- ses committed by the young. For career preparation, Eddings is involved in voluntary campus security work under the Criminal Justice Club. “We do all kinds of security work at nights mostly, and we spend about 12- 15 hours a week,”’ said Eddings. Some of the voluntary services the club has done include directing cam- pus traffic, and stake outs at sports events and other campus activities. Eddings said she will have to spend two years as a street cop before becoming a juvenile officer. “| don’t think | really mind spending two years in the streets. | like the excitement,’’ Eddings said.

Just before the all important throw, the phrase is repeated, and plane is stroked on its edges for one last time. “Come on, baby.”’ The 18-inch winger named ‘‘Grigsby Guanobat |” took off from the hands of Timothy Gresham, Tulsa senior, and with swift grace crossed almost the length of the huge ballroom. It covered more than 87 feet, and took the win- ning throw for the flight distance divi- sion. “Oh yeah, it will go a lot farther, if there’s more room,” said Gresham. Gresham, a zoology major, received a hand-fashioned beer can airplane as his prize, made from the brand of his choice. Accomplishing a different feat was a squarish, bat-like plane made by Brent Sisney, Coweta junior. lhe five-inch intricately folded object spinned dizzying circles in the air for five long seconds, outlasting its more than 30 other competitors. Some 60 plane enthusiasts entered the contest sponsored by the Society of Physics Students. All planes entered were made from the university news- paper, ‘‘The Northeastern.”’ The activity was part of the SPS cam- paign to raise money to fund a conven- tion trip to Nacogdoches, Tex.

There is some anxiety, but there is also a growing sense of accomplishment. The night of graduation ceremonies may be the first time many seniors have ever set foot in the football stadium; for others, Gable Field is the focal point for many fond memories. For two nights each year, the showplace and testing ground for physical and ath- letic abilities is used to honor and recog- nize academic achievement. Why have a big formal ceremony? If nothing else, it adds a sense of closure to four or more years of living, like a division page telling one that he has finished one chapter.

While shutterbugs are intently snap- ping color pictures, Ron Tarver, Fort Gibson senior, is in a darkroom equally engrossed in developing his black and white photographs. “| don't like color. | think it’s fakey looking. It seems that color photogra- phy’s only concern is capturing color pigments. And photograph content comes secondary,”’ said Tarver. “Red is red, but red can be a thou- sand different shades of gray in black and white,” he added. Tarver, a student worker for Photo- graphic Services for three years, has been into photography since his senior high school days. Like father, like son, Tarver took on the hobby seeing his father’s involvement. Photography, according to Tarver, is Planning for Good Photography an expensive hobby, but if one is to make a Career out of it, he says it will eventually have its rewards. “| want to work on a magazine or a similar publication. | don’t think | will mind working on a newspaper, just that | find the job is so much different,” said Tarver. Planning is important for successful photography, he said. “I’ve spent nights thinking about how I’m going to take a picture, to achieve a certain kind of affect. | think it’s important to plan and anticipate. Good pictures don’t just happen,” Tar- ver explained. On weekends, Tarver works part- time for an area newspaper. He plans to continue his studies in photography after graduation.

Thomas, a Tahlequah senior, has been active in karate for four years. “It started out as a fascination or curiosity,’’ said Thomas, who has a first degree brown belt. In karate, according to Thomas, there are levels or skills. “After brown comes black, each color having two degrees,”’ he said. “‘To get a degree you must do a Kata, which is a certain routine exer- cise, or basic movements.’’ Thomas explained that he thought the most dif- ficult part was learning the very basic moves. Physical injuries to self and others in karate are not uncommon, even in reg- ular sparring and practice sessions. Injuries Thomas has sustained while in practice or contest were ‘‘only chipped teeth, a cracked nose, a few bruised ribs, and once a dislocated thumb.”’ From the spectators point of view, the graceful body movements of karate may seem easy. Notso. “The sport takes a lot of self-disci- pline,’’ Thomas said. ‘‘Anywhere between four to five hours a week of practice on the average, plus stretch- ing every night is necessary to keep in shape.” ‘ Having won several first place tro- phies, Thomas hopes to one day have his own school of karate. meee oe | Oleta Pritchett Elementary Ed., Bunch Thomas Purdin Psychology, Tahlequah Leroy Qualls Health, P.E.

Designs Career from Sewing While visitors to the Boare’s Heade Feaste marvelled at the elaborate cos- tumes the actors and actresses don- ned during the event, Sue Morain was nervously slip-stitching a headdress for Queen Anne. It was the last of some 20 other heavy velvet costumes Morain had made for the Feaste. Morain, a Tulsa senior, has been sewing and designing costumes since her entrance into the university. “| kind of took on the job. | was a freshman and | was looking for a niche, a place where | can be good at — and making costumes just sort of came nat- ural,’’ remarked Morain. From a skill she learned in sixth grade, Morain hopes to carve a career in costume designing and construc- tion. Not in professional theater, how- ever. “| hope to teach in a university even- tually. | don’t want to go into the pro- fessional theater because sewing and designing are separate departments. In the university, the two are combined as related steps in costuming. And that’s what | want to do,” said Morain. At the start of her career in the drama department, Morain was involved only in costume construction. Designing came a little later during her schooling. “lam excited about costume design- ing because for me it’s a channel of creativity,’’ said Morain. And a little more is involved, accord- ing to Morain. ‘““Costuming involves a lot more than sewing the material together. Involved, too, is the matching of the color of the costume to the types of character,”’ Morain explained.

If they qualify, they enter the Graduate College and begin work towards a master’s degree. There are some classes that are for graduate students only, but in many cases the student must take a four-thou- sand level course and do extra work to receive graduate credit. In a classroom that is a mixture of undergrads and grad- uate students, by watching for subtle dif- ferences one can tell who is what. When the instructor says ‘‘“Good Morning,” the students who take notes are probably graduates. Being a graduate student often means working a full-time job by day, then driv- ing to Northeastern for classes and library work at night. Many students must carefully juggle and schedule the time they allot for their jobs, their families, their studies, and somewhere squeeze in a few hours of sleep. For some, there was no break in the continuity of being a student. They gradu- ate from NSU, then enter graduate school. They are often asked by under- grad friends, ‘‘What are you still doing here?”’ Some will get the master’s degree, and some will not. Others will start thinking about doing doctoral work.

Each year the division has sponsored the Allied Arts Series in which well-known groups or individuals have been brought to the campus to perform. In May the Tulsa Philharmonic Orchestra returned featuring concert pian- ist Lorin Hollander. Also, many faculty and student recit- als occurred throughout the year. Various choral and instrumental festivals and tournaments were also held, including the annual Green Country Jazz Festival. In the spring, the annual Press Day was held, with nearly 700 high school and junior college students and advisers participating. 258 Arts and Letters 1. 1. Willye Udosen, 2. Dr. Barbara Jones, 3.

Ln ET AE APL PTE re Natural Science and Mathematics The Division of Natural Science and Mathematics took pride in its academic and professional programs, and in the success and accomplishment of its graduates. Emphasis was placed on the interdisciplinary nature of the training programs and the free communication and spirit of cooperation which existed among faculty and students. The division’s modern laboratories feature the latest in equipment and research facilities. On campus, the math- ematics department has a Student Learning Center equipped with calculators and a Wand Model 2200-B Mini-Computer. Students also have access to the univer- sity’s IBM Systems III computer. For students interested in forestry or plant biology, the herbarium and greenhouse are valuable study centers. For students of wildlife and animal biology, the animal museum is available. An aquatic laboratory was established on Lake Tenkil- ler, and an outdoor classroom was also set up on the Jones-Mershon Tract, 90 acres of replanted woods. Northeastern was designated by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education to initiate the Oklahoma School of Optometry, which will provide the first two years of the four-year program leading to the Doctor of Optometry degree. Thirteen accredited colleges of opto- metry in the United States now provide this degree. It is planned that the first entering class will be admitted the fall semester of 1979. 2.

Natural Science and Mathematics 259 Education and Psychology Four major departments are located in the Division of Education and Psychology: psychology, education, spe- cial education and intern teaching. The professional edu- cation program is designed to combine the development of skills so that the teacher may apply those skills to actual classroom work. Around 650 students were enrolled in the intern teach- ing program during the school year. A significant effort was made to upgrade the special education program to comply with Public Law 94142, which states that every child has the right to an educa- tion. The graduate program in education provided course work leading to the master of education degree. Master’s degrees were available in elementary and secondary education, special education, reading, counseling, and in a secondary major. Northeastern is accredited by the State Department for Teacher Education. NSU was also recently visited and accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. The EPIC program, the Education Professionals for Indian Children, has been nationally recognized, and provides programs for both graduate and undergraduate students. The master’s degree in counseling psychology covers four areas of specialization for students: developmental, psychometrics, guidance, and industrial and agency. The psychology program has also been enhanced by the addition of an animal laboratory at Haskell Hall. 260 Education and Psychology 1. 1. Linda Moss, 2. Dr. Guy Friend, 3. Mary Jane Smith, 4.

Social Science The Social Science Division, which includes the departments of criminal justice, geography, history, polit- ical science and sociology, was active in sponsoring events which benefited not only the campus and stu- dents, but also the surrounding area. An important step was taken during the year when the regents approved the Master of Criminal Justice, making NSU the only state institution in Oklahoma to offer the degree program which will begin in 1979. In the history department, over 170 area high school students and teachers attended the annual history con- test. The seventh annual Indian Symposium, held in April and sponsored by the division and the Native American Students Association was presented to keep Indian cul- ture alive and to inform Indians and non-Indians of the role of the Indian in contemporary life. Black Heritage Week was also presented to recognize the contributions and the heritage of blacks in America. The Social Science Division again presented its distin- guished lecturers series, which brought national and international speakers to the campus to speak on a vari- ety of topics. 2.

The division also has an extensive certificate program for students who wish to have the opportunity for prompt employment. A new certificate program in vocational business and office education was also approved for 1979. Also approved for 1979 was the transfer of the touristry management program to the Business Division. 262 Business Business In March, the first high school Senior Business Contest Day was held, with students from area schools competing by examination in different subject areas. The winners of the contest received scholarships to NSU. Business Week, which was held in the fall, will be an annual event for area students interested in pursuing a degree in business. 1.

The seventh annual Industrial Arts Fair was held in April, and was attended by hundreds of area students dis- playing their accomplishments in the area of industrial arts. A Career Seminar, Fashion Show was held by the Home Economics department, and 10 speakers came to talk about career possibilities. Also, about 70 people par- ticipated in the Fashion Study Tour, which went to Spain. In the graphic arts department, a Master of Industrial Technology degree was approved by the regents. The graphic arts area also received much new equipment, including modern typesetting machines. Practical Arts 263 Hii Health, Physical Education and Safety © The Division of Health, Physical Education and Safety strives to develop, through physical education activities and academic courses in physical and health education, an appreciation for the rules and laws of exercise and healthy living in a complex society. The division, which is in charge of varsity athletics for men and women, also had an extensive intramural pro- gram for all students at NSU. Also offered were many adult education programs, 264 Health, Physical Education and Safety Al including courses in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, water safety instruction, and pursuit driving.

They’re bricking the sidewalks. They're mowing the lawn. They’re painting the buildings. The unidentified ‘they’ is actually the Northeastern Maintenance crew. To many, they are an anonymous group of nice men and women who keep the campus maintained — the trash picked up, the leaves raked, the floors cleaned and attend to a thousand other chores. And who did you think washed the immense overflow- ing mass of suds form the fountain? ‘‘They’’ did. Of course, no one ever thanked them. ‘‘They’’ shovelled clean snow-covered walks for ungrateful student trekkers at ungodly six o’clocks in the morning. ‘“‘They’’ wiped spilled soft drinks and gross chewed gum from the floors. ‘““They’’ picked up after student-created mess, repaired and replaced where necessary as mothers at home refilled empty drawers with freshly-washed and neatly folded underwear, socks and T-shirts. “They’’ keep the campus. “Oooh, wow, THEY put lights in the tower. Pretty funky.” Somebody ought to tell them. ‘‘They”’ are really appre- ciated. 276 Maintenance mS S | Cn we ‘a | YF ?

As the stadium at Gable Field filled with relatives and well-wishers, the long black-clad lines formed in the grassy center of the track. Master’s candidates over there. Arts and Sciences bachelor’s here. Business grads there. Behavioral Sciences yonder. The first impression is that after four years of lining up to enroll, to get address cards, cafeteria food, textbooks, and who knows what else, you are once more standing in a line. There is a certain poetic closure about it. Impatience sets in as stragglers come in. Didn't the let- ter say to be here at 6:30 p.m.? Let’s do it! There isn’t a pre-set order about how one is to line up, outside of grouping by colleges. Someone wise to the university social structure can see groups within the larger groups. Fraternity brothers and sorority sisters group up. Organization members find one another. Eng- lish students find other English students. Often the groups overlap and the last person in one group is the first person in the next and so on. To kill time you can try to guess what all of the different colors on the faculty and administration gowns are. Or why some wear one type of mortarboard and others wear yet another. The music starts and you begin to walk. As you climb the steps you squint to pick parents and family out of the mass of faces in the seats above, conscious of the fact that your hat may fall off. President W. Roger Webb gives the welcoming address. Most of us have never seen him in full academic apparel before. Suddenly, this thing seems more serious. Dr. E. T. Dunlap is introduced and presents the 1979 commencement address. The graduates are introduced by the deans. The president confers the degrees. We start to move toward the ramp. The division chairmen take the name cards and announce your name. You stride forward. Webb puts outhis hand. . . “Good Lord, this is it,’ you think. The next thing you know you are walking in front of the faculty. Occasionally an instructor shakes your hand, or hugs you. Everybody is smiling. Afterwards, friends meet below the stadium to check in Caps and gowns, joke about empty degree covers, and plan where to meet later. The restaurants around town fill up. The dorms empty. Parents and graduates, friends and graduates, and graduates and graduates meet in apart- ments, mobile homes, and restaurants to celebrate. The tendency is to look at graduation as an ending, which is partially accurate. On the other hand, it marks the beginning of a new part of your life. And, all things considered, the ceremony does not seem as silly as it did a few hours ago. In fact, for many it will grow in meaning with each passing spring. 1. President W. Roger Webb congratulates graduate Mike Studebaker as he receives his degree. Looking on is vice president Dr. Elwin Fite. Graduation 293 Sis RRR rg 294 Graduation | A new part of life | Graduation 295 Through the hazy late August days, the red and gold explosion of a Cookson Hills autumn, the cold grey and icy white world of January, and the alternating days of threatening black and eye-burning blue skies of spring, we moved. We watched the university begin to change direction like a massive ship steaming through rough waters. We aren't out of it yet, but it looks like the bow is turned into the weather. But now it’s time to change places again. Everyone is shuffled around a little. Students change classifications. Administrators are assigned new duties. Faculty members resign or retire. New people 296 Northeastern State University .. . resume are brought aboard. Seniors sally forth into the ‘‘real world.” Familiar faces disappear: some just for the summer, others perhaps forever. The trick is not to get depressed when your whole world goes through its annual uprooting. After a few years in college it gets a little easier, but you never really get used to seeing them go. But, maybe that’s because we are human. It's hard to see sometimes, but as soon as the changes stop coming you either stagnate or die. So, you welcome the ongoing flux and celebrate the infi- nite variety of life. Northeastern State University 297 Newspaper want ad sections spread out over the floor, students search for the ever-elusive job, whether it be a summer job for an underclassman, or a career for the graduate. Resumes can be both humbling and depressing at the same time. A graduate may suddenly realize that four years of Who’s Who looks impressive, yet some- what drowned out when ‘‘dishwasher,”’ ‘“‘lifeguard,” and ‘“‘janitor’’ is written under Work Experience. Possible employers can be frustrating. After one tells you your B.A. you worked so hard to get makes you overqualified, another won't hire you because he’s afraid you'll leave at any time to go back for a master’s.

Now, if you'd entered the market four years ago. . .” Yet, when you eventually do get a job, you realize the whole experience was worth it. True tales of peo- ple who dropped out of school in the sixth grade to go to work and eventually became millionaires are few and far between. A college education includes far more than learning how to make a buck. It’s exposure to the fruits of man’s knowledge, communication with people, an exchange of ideas. But, in the meantime, one must eat, so it’s back to the wantads... = � Northeastern State University 299 | Moving can be a very upsetting experience. After spending all year getting your dorm room to look just the way you want it, it’s the end of the semes- ter and you have to leave. Cleaning out the room you spent so much time in is like deserting an old friend. The closet holds the coats and sweaters so faithfully worn during the winter months. They stir memories of snowball fights, slipping on icy sidewalks, hoping it would snow just enough to close school but not enough that you couldn't get to your girlfriend’s 300 Northeastern State University . . .moving house. After the walls are cleared of posters and pictures, the room seems almost like it did when you first moved in — and you realize that it is people that give life to rooms, dormitories and universities. Without students, they are nothing but hollow, lifeless buildings, without dreams, aspirations or hopes. Others will move into this dorm room, you say to yourself; then they'll move out, to be followed by oth- ers still. To be alive is to be forever moving forward. ee Northeastern State University 301 Suntan lotion . . . float trips . . . registration... scheduling classes. . .waking upontime. . . movies in the Ballroom . . .
