There ' s One in Every Crowd! Although everyone has his own individual style, students tend to fall into certain groups or get classified as stereotypes. The POTPOURRI feels that the best way to look at stereotypes is to sit back and laugh at them. On these two pages, the POTPOURRI displays some typical NSU stereotypes that just may fit your particular college lifestyle. Which one are you? Freddie and Fran Freshman With a sparkling Walt Whitman High senior ring on one hand and a sack of moms homemade peanut butter cookies clutched in the other, Freddie and Fran encounter the freshman shock — that wonderful taste of freedom that go- ing away to college brings. There is the race to the bookstore to buy every Northwestern item in sight and proudly display them to the old high school crowd during their weekly hometown visits. l T- RAZORBACK Betsy Blimp As a freshman away from home, Betsy discovers the thrills of dorm life such as the midnight smorgasbords of popcorn, pretzels, potato chips, chocolate chip cookies, cokes, and those ever popular vending machines. The result is Betsy Blimp ' s chunky round figure. When she realizes she ' s spend- ing too many weekends watching television and getting tired of wearing her overalls every day, she hurriedly signs up for three aerobic dance classes and chokes down meals of cot- tage cheese and carrots. Inez Involved To be classified as an Inez Involved, a girl must put her schoolwork aside and devote her spare time to campus ac- tivities. Minimum requirements call for membership in the SGA, BSU, Marching Band. Union committees, Outings Club and KNWD. Her ultimate goal is Purple Jackets and she manages to graduate in no less than five years. : V Susie Sorority In order to become a Susie Sorority at NSU the freshman girl must survive a grueling week of cookies, punch and smiling faces called rush. As a pledge, she must go out with at least one fraternity man a week and master the sorority stride holding her nose at a 45 degree angle. Upon her initia- tion she is given the glory of wearing a sparkling symbol of her sorority over her heart and has 35 girls to call her sisters. Frank Frat Any aspiring young college man can qualify to be a Frank Frat providing he has a strong line of B.S. and an infinite love for beer drinking. Immediately following his pledgeship. the frat man drops down to ten hours and changes his major to business. Each day he joins his brothers for the campus cruise with beer in hand and scopes out the blossoming young freshman girls. W,Pr V jJ, Calvin B. Coolidge Spending his first few days searching out the brothers and sisters in the dorms, Calvin quickly learns the ropes of NSU and wonders why he didn ' t go to Grambling. With his first love being soul food and T.J. Swann, he also enjoys hanging out in front of Iberville or Sabine. Usually majoring in political science or sociology, Calvin drops out a semester or two, and sometimes makes it big. PI Willie Weed Willie Weed is known most typically as a bearded blur whizzing past NSU pedestrians on his ten-speed bicycle. He is often found lurking around Bossier Street and possesses only a backpack, two pair of patched jeans, a flannel shirt, and a $1,000 stereo system. Often an art or English major. Willie Weed is seen floating down the halls with h open and has a certain air ' ' about him. The Place for You Is NSU THE PLACE FOR YOU nsuL ■HI Why the sudden r spread over the gradi decade.

When not in class, many students could be found at the R ( ration Complex. A bath in the sun, a few laps in the pool, several rounds of colt, and a tennis march were all popular activities at the Complex. Various intramural events contributed much to summer life at North- westera These included softball tournaments and swimming meets. Night lite found students at several movies presented by the SUGB, in- cluding -Brians Song, Seduction of Joe Tynan, When a Stranger Calls, and High Cost of Living. The campus abounded with high school students attending cheerleader, football, basketball, band, dance line, and other such camps. One of the big events was Inside View, an orientation program for incoming freshmen. Carolyn Vercher slices watermelon for summer refreshr Cheri Cooper. Linda Nicholas. Sheri Barker, andjuanita Guyton picnic at an outdoor Summer Freshmen Orientation Program For incoming freshmen, Inside View was a whole lot more than a weekend away from home. It was a look at how life for the next few years would be. It gave students a chance to meet their fellow classmates and get acquainted with college life. The Insiders made registration an easy process and made freshmen feel at home in a strange place. In addition to all this, Inside View made lasting friends and gave a new look at a life that most freshmen were hesitant about. Sherri Dark registers early at Inside View.

Beginning with the spring election of Executive officers, controversy plagued the Student Government Association. The controversy in the spring election of officers was centered around the treasurer ' s position with Larry Hall being named the winner. When a closer look was taken into the election, it was discovered that numbers were inadvertently switched, making Max Ates the official winner. An appeal by Larry Hall was voted down by the Student Supreme Court, closing the issue. Election controversy was again sparked in the fall semester when it was discovered that War- rington Campus students voted in an election, against an earlier ruling by the Supreme Court. During another election of the fall semester, the question was raised as to whether ADOS students were allowed to vote two days instead of one. The election ordeal culminated with the impeachment of Dianna Kemp, Commissioner of Elections. After closer scrutiny of the pro- cedure used, the impeachment was thrown out. In other SGA action, students were given an opportunity to speak out on the issues when Free Speech Alley began in the fall. For an hour and thirty minutes each Wednesday, students could take the microphone to express their opinion on University and world affairs. SGA served as a link between the students and the administration. Meetings were held each Monday at 6:30 pm in the SGA Conference Room, Student Union Building.

Members were provided with the best possible environment for performance train- ing in their respective discipline, be it Visual Arts, Dance, Music, Literature, or Theatre. The primary objective of The University Players was to create an awareness of the individual ' s artistic poten- tial so that he may later contribute to the aesthetic needs of soc iety. Membership was achievable only through dedicated involvement with and performance in Northwestern State University produc- tions. Each year The University Players provided the Natchitoches-Northwestern community with quality musical, art, dance, literary, and theatrical productions and sought, through the medium of the Arts, to recruit new students to NSU.

The event was the KNWD-FM Radiothon held to raise $8000 to purchase new equipment to expand the station ' s power from 10 watts to 250 watts. The expansion was necessary because 10 watts didn ' t carry all the way across town or any reasonable distance out of town. The Radiothon was the brain child of Curt Boudreaux and in- cluded as the main event a couple of pole sitters. Two NSU students sat atop the columns of the Old Bullard Mansion for 54 hours in an effort to raise the needed money. Ginny Whitaker and Curt Boudreaux climbed the poles at 12 noon on Thursday, Oc- tober 8, and remained there until 6 pm, Saturday, October 10. The radiothon also included live broadcasts from the bottom of the columns. Rain throughout the weekend hindered most of the planned ac- tivities, but the Radiothon was considered a success. A total of about $1650 in cash and pledges were collected, giving the station enough money to buy their first piece of equipment. M B m 9a w am mW rnw w l (row 1. left to right) Dennis Oneal.

Under the direction ot Editor Joe Cunningham, the SAUCE received numerous attacks by students as to the number of errors that occur in each edition. A lack of manpower was cited as the ma- jor reason for the problems. The fact that there were no journalism majors on the staff also helped to make the situation worse. Weekly features of the CURRENT SAUCE included editorials on various campus issues, including the Radical Rag and Doug Ireland ' s Notebook, the Organizations section which permitted campus organizations to relay the latest news, and the football season feature, the Cur- rent Sauce Porker Pickers. One thing was certain however, NSU students were always able to pick up their edition of the CURRENT SAUCE on Tuesday afternoon, errors or no errors.

Taking pictures, writing copy, and drawing layouts were just a few of the daily functions of the staff member. Due to a lack of funds, the size of the book was reduced con- siderably as was the use of color pictures and the number of extra cost items. Great care was taken so that the quality of the book did not suf- fer as the quantity did. Despite the financial troubles, each staff member took pride in his work, striving to make this edition of the POTPOURRI the best yet.

According to Argus staff members, the $.75 increase was needed because of the increasing cost of publishing the magazine. The magazine, which usually appeared in Fall and Spring editions, had to be limited to only a Spring edition to avoid running out of money. The fee increase was brought before the student body and was voted down 258 to 272.

The time: May 1980. The speaker: Alan Alda. The audience: his daughter and her classmates at an Eastern college. The best things said come last. People will talk for hours saying nothing much and then linger at the door with words that come with a rush from the heart. We are all gathered at a doorway today. We linger there with our hand on the knob chattering away like Polonius to Laertes. Now remember, Neither a borrower nor a lender be . . . and don ' t forget, This above all: To thine own self be true. But the very best things said often slip out completely unheralded and preceded by the words, Oh, by the way. r WM ♦1 i 2pT 1 i ■€ - rary Meinhardt and Bubba Soileau prepare for Biochemistry Lab ]V window painting in Williamson Museum illustrates Indian art I -ft— 1?9 . . . Don ' t Be Scared As we stand in the doorway today. these are my parting words . . . The first thing is: don ' t be scared. You ' re being flung into a world that ' s run- ning about as smoothly as a car with square wheels. It ' s okay to be uncer- tain. You ' re an adult in a time when the leaders of the world are behaving like children. Where the central im- age of the day is a terrorist one: humane concerns inhumanely ex- pressed. And the only response to this is impotent fury. It you weren ' t a little uncertain, I ' d be nervous for you. Adulthood has come upon you and you ' re not all that sure you ' re ready for it. I think that sometimes I ' m not ready for adulthood either — yours or mine. The day before yesterday you were a baby. I was afraid to hold you because you seemed so fragile. Yesterday, all I could feel was helplessness when you broke your nine-year-old arm. Only this morning you were a teenager. As I get older, the only thing that speeds up is time. But if time is a thief, time also leaves something in exchange: experience. And with experience, at least in your own work you will be sure. Juan Carlos Molina.

Whether you wind up making a lot of money or not, you will have a wonderful time, and no one will ever be able to take that away from you. E2u Adams provides counseling for a Mass Communication student. I want to squeeze things great and small into this lingering good-by. I want to tell you to keep laughing. You gurgle when you laugh. Be sure to gurgle three times a day for your own well-being. And if you can get other people to join you in your laughter, you may help keep this shaky boat afloat. When people are laughing, they ' re generally not killing one another. I have this helpless urge to pass on max- ims to you, things that will see you through. But even the Golden Rule doesn ' t seem ade- quate to pass on. There should be something added to it. Here ' s my Golden Rule for a tar- nished age: Be fair with others, but then keep after them until they ' re fair with you. Perry Anderson heads for a dunking at the Intramural tug-of-war. Clyde Medford demonstrates weaving to students in Williamson Museum It ' s a Complex World . . . I hope you ' ll learn to make distinctions. A peach is not its fuzz, a toad is not its warts, a person is not his or her crankiness. If we can make distinctions, we can be tolerant, and we can get to the heart of our prob- lems instead of wrestling endlessly with their gross exteriors. Once you make a habit of making distinctions, you ' ll begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows to the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won ' t come in. If you challenge your own, you won ' t be so quick to accept the unchallenged assumptions of others. You ' ll be a lot less likely to be caught up in bias or prejudice, or be influenced by people who ask you to hand over your brains, your soul or money because they have everything all figured out for you.

Life — U5 Make Something of Your Life Be as smart as you can, but remember that it ' s always better to be wise than to be smart. And don ' t be upset that it takes a long, long time to find wisdom. Like a rare virus, wisdom tends to break out at unexpected times, and it ' s mostly people with compas- sion and understanding who are susceptible to it. •students nuke precise measurements in Biochemistry Lab The door is inching a little closer toward the latch and I still haven ' t said it. Let me dig a little deeper. Life is absurd and meaningless — unless you bring meaning to it, unless you make something of it. It is up to us to create our own existence. No matter how loving or loved we are, it eventually occurs to most of us that deep down inside, we ' re all alone. When the mo- ment comes for you to wrestle with that cold loneliness, which is every person ' s private monster, I want you to face the damn thing. I want you to see it for what it is and win. Dig Into the World . . . When I was in college, 25 years ago, the philosophy of existentialism was very popular. We all talked about nothingness; but we moved in- to a world of effort and endeavor. Now no one much talks about nothingness; but the world itself is filled with it. Whenever that sense of absurdity hits you. I want you to be ready. It will have a hard time getting hold of you if you ' re already in motion. You can use the skills of your profession and other skills you have learned here, dig into the world and push it into better shape. For one thing, you can try to clean the air and water. Or you can try to make the justice system work, too. You can bring the day a little closer when the rich and privileged have to live by the same standards as the poor and the outcast.

The Intramural swim meet gives students a good excuse to get some sun.

Enjoy Yourself There ' s plenty to keep you busy tor the rest of your life. I cant pro- mise this will ever completely reduce that sense of absurdity, but it may get it down to a manageable level. It will allow you once in a while to bask in the feeling that, all in all, things do seem to be moving forward. I can see your brow knitting in that way that I love. That crinkle be- tween your eyebrows that signals your doubt and your skepticism. Why — on a day of such excitement and hope — should I be talking of absurdity and nothingness.- ' Because I want to focus that hope and level that excitement into coherent rays that will strike like a laser at the targets of our discontent. I want you to be potent; to do good when you can, and to hold your wit and intelligence like a shield against other people ' s wantonness. And above all, to laugh and enjoy yourself in a life of your own choos- ing and in a world of your own mak- ing. I want you to be strong and ag- gressive and tough and resilient and full of feeling. I want you to be everything that ' s you, deep at the center of your being. Kelly Wilson and Becky Wood find time to relax in the Union. Two future Demons look forward to their swimming class. Student Life — 143 Live Life Creatively Barbara Sanders listens to discussion in a speech class I want you to have chutzpah. Nothing im- portant was ever accomplished without chutzpah. The signers of the Declaration of Independence had chutzpah. Laugh at yourself, but don ' t ever aim your doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don ' t leave any of yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory. Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can ' t get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you are doing. What you ' ll discover will be wonderful. What you ' ll discover will be yourself. Well, those are my parting words as to- day ' s door closes softly between us. So long, be happy . . .

A caravan of rambunctious brothers and sisters then made its way to the Recreation Complex for an evening of skits and music. Monday ' s big event was the track meet, and Tuesday followed with competition along somewhat different lines. Tuesday ' s crazy events included jello snorting, coke chugging, bubblegum blowing, pie eating, egg tossing, and mummy wrapping. Wednes- day continued in the spirit of heated competition with Hot Wheels Race Day. Greeks began with traditional chariot races and then moved on to everything from bicycles to shopping carts. Thursday was the culmina- tion of the week with a Greek song festival at noon in the Student Union Cafeteria and a banquet that night. Awards were given to Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and Sigma Kappa for champion sororities, and to Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, and Theta Chi for champion fraternities. Terri Scott of Delta Zeta was named outstanding sorority woman. IFC Greek Goddess was Sigma Sigma Sigma Alison Breazeale. Kappa Sigma Kevin Bartholomew was named Panhellenic Greek God, and the Panhellenic Freshman Scholarship was awarded to Janice Duggan of Sigma Kappa. The final award presented during the Thursday night banquet was the President ' s Cup to Sigma Tau Gamma. Connie Friday — Tiny Bubbles. ' Richard Constance digs in.

Panhellenic rush was held during the first week of school in the fall. Four national sororities, Delta Zeta, Phi Mu, Sigma Kappa, and Sigma Sigma Sigma, were involved in Panhellenic rush. Five national fraternities, Kappa Alpha Order, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Tau Gamma, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and Theta Chi, placed most of their emphasis in rush on the fall semester. For these Greek organizations, the new freshmen were the main source of pledges. The remaining seven Greek organizations practiced deferred rush. Through this system, students were not eligible to pledge until they had spent a specified amount of time at Nor- thwestern and thus had proved themselves worthy candidates for membership.

Cheerleading at Northwestern was more than just another organization to get involved in. It had to be accepted as a challenge to everyone on the squad. The NSU squad was com- posed of seven females and three males. They were Laurie Weaver, Darlene Brown. Laurie Martin, Kim Berry, Teresa Peterson, Allison Arthur, Cindy Tuttle, Harlan Harvey, Bobby Cleveland, and Troy Davidson. Accor- ding to Steve Brown, the ad- viser for the demon cheerleader squad, the cheerleaders were given one week to practice and get everything together for camp, which was conducted by Universal Cheerleader Association at Memphis State University. Brown was also questioned about the fact the NSU had an uneven squad as far as males and females were concerned. He said, I think that as far as spirit and pride were concerned, the squad looked just as good or better than the other squads. As far as incorporating routines with what we had to work with, it was a little hard, but the squad still looked good. Steve Brown Demon Mascot clowns around for a football game crowd.

Along with placing 1 1th in nation at the national meet the Demons broke 10 school records and two Louisiana state collegiate records along with having five individuals earn Ail-American Honors. Winning the relay at the nationals was a great way to end the year, said Demon track Coach Jerry Dyes in an understate- ment. We had some ups and downs and some frustrations, but when you end a year like we were able to do this year, it makes up for the difficult part of the season. The relay team of Victor Oatis, Joe Delaney, Mario Johnson and Mark Duper set a school record with a 39-32 clocking, which also set a state record, breaking the old Demon mark of 39-48 set last season. Athletics — 187 Ronnie Manuel Demon shot putter prepares for a throw. Kenneth Mosley Andy Nelson Nate Payton NSU Turned Out Promising Pro AJSAS ' Joe Delaney ' s Demon football jersey was retired in February 1981 for his outstanding career at Northwestern State University. While at NSU, Delaney earned All-American honors in track and football, including the NCAA title for the 400 meter relay. As a senior, Delaney played in the Blue-Gray game and the Senior Bowl after breaking virtually all of the Demon rushing and scoring records. The speedster from Haughton rushed for over 3000 yards in his career, and was the only Demon player to rush 200 yards in one game. Other NSU records held by Delaney include most carries in a game and a season, most yards in a game, and most yards in a season. When Delaney left Northwestern, he went on to start on a new road with the Kansas City Chiefs. Delaney became NSU ' s highest pick in the National Foot- ball League draft when he was the 4lst player drafted in the second round. He becomes the third Demon player in the past four years to be taken in the second round of the draft, following Petey Perot and Sidney Thornton. I couldn ' t be more happy for Joe, said Demon head coach A. L. Williams after the selection. He has worked hard for a long time for this opportunity and I feel he will make the best of it. Kansas City is getting a great football player. As a rookie, Delaney was impressive from the first day in Kansas City. The Haughton native carried the ball 27 times for 114 yards during the pre-season. He also caught five passes for 66 yards and averaged 15.0 yards on two kickoff returns. Delaney set five Kansas City records and was named NFC Rookie of the year. Another honor bestowed on the former Demon was being a starter in the Pro Bowl. Looks as if Northwestern State turned out another pro.

As a matter of fact, the Demons weathered a torrential downpour. A season ending at 4-6 was just one of the factors contributing to a less than satisfying season. At one point during the season, the Demons suffered injuries to twenty-two players. A few dry spells were scattered throughout the season. And what really mattered was that the university student body kept supporting the Demons. It was an exciting year even though there were disappointments. Despite the year ' s performance, the Demons were optimistic about 1982, hoping to soak up the puddles that remained and have a winning season. In Spite of All the Injuries, They Came Back. A. L. Williams Head Coach The Demons move to number eight in the NCAA Division 1-AA was the winning season everyone had been waiting for since A. L. Williams was appointed head coach after the 1974 season. The success that Williams enjoyed in 1980 only followed the line of success he had at every level of athletics. He attended Fair Park High where he was the only four-sport letter- man to ever come from the school. Attending Louisiana Tech, Williams was a four-year letter- man as well as the team ' s leading scorer for three years. After college, he spent eight years as head football coach at Woodlawn High, com- piling a winning percentage of .719. Williams earned a national reputation as a prep coach by molding great quarterbacks such as Joe Ferguson and Terry Bradshaw. During his time at NSU, Williams was responsible for the com- pletion of Turpin Stadium and the fieldhouse. He was mainly responsible for the Demons ap- pearing on Regional television in the 1980 game against Northeast Louisiana University in Monroe, Louisiana. NSU OPP.

P. Dunbar Athletics — 213 Demons Drop Season Opener to Boise State The Demons, who were 8-3 last and ended the vear ranking eighth in the nation, opened the .ison against defending na- tional champion in Division I-AA, Mate. The game was played in Bronco Stadium in Boise. Idaho on September 5. 1981. A number of impressive rushing statistics were collected in the 32-20 loss to Boise State. Tailback Kenny Jones rushed for 80 yards on 13 carries, including a 25 yard burst and two touchdowns, and Carlton Finister ground out 54 tough yards on 16 carries from his fullback position. But the most impressive statistics came from LeRov Ellis. The treshman halfback rushed only twice, but picked up 28 yards before going down with a sprained ankle in the second quarter. While the rushing totals sparkled, NSU ' s passing was not nearly up to par. Starting quarterback Bobby Hebert was just nine for 19. with two interceptions and 79 yards. Eric Barkley was five of 21, in- cluding two interceptions for 70 yards. NSU showed its depth at receiver when nine players grabbed at least one pass. Jones was the leading receiver as he caught four passes totaling 19 yards. Linebacker Gary Reasons led the Demons defensively with 11 tackles (six unassisted and five assisted). One defensive highlight was the play of corner back Spencer Mallett. who had six tackles along with an interception. Sonny Lewis also picked off a pass of NSU. In five punts, Leo Clements came in with a 39.4 average, including having one blocked. Placekicker Dale Quickel hit on each of his field goal at- tempts from 42 and 30 yards.

The Demons rolled up 59 points in defeating the Rams, 59-26. The Demons won the toss and elected to kick. The Rams fumbled on third down and NSU took a quick 3-0 lead. It was not hard to look at the stat chart and find of- fensive standouts after the Demons shut out the Rams in an impressive victory. NSU gained 541 total yards in offense. Both Bobby Hebert and Eric Barkley saw plenty of playing time with Hebert throw- ing for 179 yards and 2 scores. The two combined for 355 total yards in passing. Victor Oatis, who led in reception, had three catches for 148 total receiving yards and two touchdowns. Oatis got the first touchdown of the night on a 35- yard reception from Bobby Hebert and then in the third period raced 94 yards with a pass from Eric Barkley. But Oatis is not the only receiver the Demons had. Mark Duper had one touchdown, that coming on a 58-yard pass from Hebert. He came in second with 77 total yards. James Bennett also had a touchdown and Carlton Finister had 79 yards total rushing yards in the game. On defense, junior Mike Camden led in tackles with a total of ten, five of which were unassisted. Sophomore Gary Reasons was second with nine. Five of Reasons ' tackles were unassisted also. Athletics — 215 Demons Keep Chief Caddo in Win Over SFA The annual battle tot Chief against the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks was played in Turpin Stadium on September 19. 1981. It was the Demons ' sixth consecutive win between the two schools with a score of 42-13. After winning the toss, Northwestern elected to kick. The Demons ' starting quarter- back. Bobby Hebert, threw for two touchdowns while running for a third on a four yard keeper. Hebert connected with fullback Carlton Finister from seven yards away and to James Bennett from 48 yards on another bomb. Hebert com- pleted 11 of 22 attempts for 161 yards and Barkley was 6 of 11 for 119. The Demons rolled up 389 yards total offense as they rolled to an impressive win before the hometown folk. Mike Richardson blocked his second punt in two weeks. He snuffed out SFA ' s Matt Wood ' s kick and returned it 24 yards for a touchdown to put the Demons on top 6-0 with 13:03 left in the opening quarter. Dale Quickel was on target with the conversion as NSU made the Lumberjacks ' first turnover costly. The Demons capitalized on another SFA mistake later in the First period. Lumberjack fullback, jimmy Kegler, coughed up the ball and Demon Sam Jenkins recovered at the SFA 13. NSU took a 28-7 advantage into the fourth quarter, although the Lumberjacks cut it to 28-13 with 9:43 left in the game. The Demons turned the game into a lopsided triumph as Bennett burned the SFA se- condary on the 48-yarder from Hebert and Duper snared the spiral from Barkley with 4:11 remaining. In overall statistics following the game, James Bennett led in pass receiving with nine catches for an average of 194 yards. He was on the receiving end of five passes against the Lumberjacks for 109 yards and one touchdown. Carlton Finister was second in catches with eight. Mark Duper and Victor Oatis each had seven. Duper was tops in yards per catch with a 27.9 average. Defensive Player of the Week David Grappe Offensive Player of the Week James Bennett •2 • Referee signals Bennett touchdown.

If ever a football team had a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde per- sonality between its offense and defense, Northwestern State University did in its 41-38 loss on the final play of the game to Abilene Christian. The Demon offense worked almost to perfection during the course of the contest while the defensive unit could never stop the Wildcat offense. While Northwestern totaled 457 yards in offense, the Demon defense allowed Abilene 519 total yards. The offensive unit had its best night rushing this season, gaining 225 yards on the ground. Tailback Kenny Jones had 130 yards in 19 carries and two scores. He was named Of- fensive Player of the Week . Jones shared with Tony Green who ended up with 49 yards on 10 carries. The Demons also got a good game from sophomore fullback Chuck Dupree who got his first start in place of in- jured Carlton Finister. North- western continued to use two quarterbacks, and again had good success. Bobby Hebert completed nine for 14 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns and also rushed for 35 yards. Eric Barkley came on to hit on six of 12 passes for 80 yards as he led the team to all 10 of its fourth quarter points. Barkley also doubled as the punter, averaging 52.5 yards on two kicks, including a 62 yarder. Dale Quickel finished the night with one field goal and three successful extra point attempts. The defense, on the other hand, was a different story as the Wildcats moved the ball on the ground and in the air. On defense we did not tackle, we made all types of mental mistakes. We were hurt by some of the injuries we have, stated Coach A. L. Williams. The Demon defense was led by Sam Jenkins, a junior defensive end. Assisting on six tackles also and Spencer Mallet with five tackles. The injuries continued to add up for Northwestern as two more players were hurt, offen- sive guard Charlie Rose with a knee injury and linebacker Greg Williams with a pinched nerve in his neck. Tailback LeRoy Ellis, fullback Carlton Finister, defensive backs Larry Robinson and Tim Poe, defen- sive tackles Bud Snodgrass and Edward Orgeron, and linebacker Bruce McCreory re- mained unable to play.

East Texas took the opening kickoff right down the field to score with 12:07 to play in the opening quarter. They made it 14-0 late in the first period on a 24-yard run from fullback Ted Sample. The Demons lost starting quarterback Bobby Hebert in the opening quarter. He carried on an option and suffered a knee injury. That did not seem to matter when Barkley hooked up with Oatis for a 51-yard score early in the second period. The Demons tied the score just before the half on a one-yard run from Tony Green. After a scoreless third period East Texas went ahead 28-14. They took the lead for good with 7:21 to play with Rickey Spence scoring on a 13-yard pass from Kyle Mackey. Trail- ing with 1:17 to play Barkley hit wide receiver Victor Oatis for a 57-yard score. Dale Quickel added the PAT to set up the final minute of play. East Texas recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock. Barkley completed 20 of 39 passes for 339 yards and two scores. Oatis had three recep- tions for 142 yards. Mark Duper had three catches for 53 yards and tight end James Walker had four for 23 yards. Kenny Jones got 40 yards rushing on 13 car- ries and fullback Carlton Finister got 45 on nine carries.

It turned out to be another Demon loss as the Cowboys came out on top, 42-21. The report from the locker room following the loss was not good news as two more players were hurt. Cornerback Arther B. Lewis injured an elbow and linebacker Mike Camden injured a knee. Coach Williams stated, If you take in- to consideration the people we have hurt and the fact that we were playing an outstanding football team, we didn ' t play that badly. With regular starter Bobby Herbert injured, Eric Barkley suffered through a poor first half, so in the third period the coaches went with Stan Powell. Against McNeese, he com- pleted 17 of 31 passes for 248 yards and two touchdowns. The scoring strikes were both of 33 yards and went to wide receivers Jerry Wheeler and Mark Duper. On defense, Sam Jenkins was moved from defen- sive end to tackle and, accord- ing to Williams, did a good job. Nose guard Andy Perot saw his longest playing time of the season in the defensive front and was also credited by Williams with a good game. After losing to McNeese, the Demons had a three game los- ing streak and for the first time ever, lost two games in the same season in Turpin Stadium. Athletics — 219 State Fair Classic Offensive Player of the Week Carlton Finister McCreary completes successful tackle Tech Deals NSU Another State Fair Defeat The next game for the Demons was a big one featuring Northwestern ' s rival the Loui- siana Tech Bulldogs on Oct. 24, 1981. The an- nual State Fair Classic game was set in Shreveport ' s Independence Stadium with Northwestern as the home team. Both teams were looking for their third win of the season, and the Bulldogs came up with it, dealing the Demons another loss of 37-33- It was the 9th time Tech had beaten NSU in the last ten meetings. The Demons won two years before when Northwestern scored in the final minute for a 25-21 victory. The Demons wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard as quarterback Eric Barkley hit Mark Duper for a 76-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Dale Quickel added the PAT for a 7-0 lead. The Bulldogs answered that by making their first touchdown with 9:57 to play in the opening quarter. Tech took the lead for the first time fifteen minutes later when John Lee hit Freddie Brown. Then Northwestern made it 14-10 when Dale Quickel hit a 22-yard field goal with 5:17 left in the half. The Demons followed that with a 32- yard touchdown pass from Barkley to Terry Joe Ramsey with 2:59 left in the half taking a 17-14 lead at half-time. The reception was Ramsey ' s second of the season and his first touchdown as a Demon. Louisiana Tech quickly took control to open the third period. The Bulldogs went 75 yards in 11 plays scoring from the two-yard line. When Cox missed the PAT, it was 20-17 with 10:40 left in the third. The Demons answered that score on their next possession. After the drive stalled at the Tech 30, Quickel came on to boot a 47-yard field goal. That ef- fort was the longest of Quickel ' s career. The Bulldogs scored the go-ahead touchdown just three minutes later. The drive covered 59 yards after Jacobs returned the kickoff 37 yards to put the Bulldogs in good field position. Tech padded its lead early in the fourth period when Dunigan kept on a sneak from the one. The Tech lead seemed safe when Dager came on later in the period to hit his only field goal attempt, a 28-yarder. But behind the throwing of reserve Stan Powell, the Demons came back. Powell set up the first Demon score of the period when he hit Victor Oatis for a 47-yard completion on the Tech 16 yard line. After a pass interference penalty against the Bulldogs in the end zone, Carlton Finister scored from the one-yard line and Quickel ad- ded the PAT. Tech failed to move the ball on their next possession and the Demons blocked Brett Brewer ' s punt arid took over at the 35- yard line. Powell again hooked up with Oatis for 26 yards to the three-yard line. Powell then hit the tight end James Walker for the score. A two-point conversion was called back by a penalty and the second attempt failed with 1:08 to play. The Demons had a chance to recover the following onside kick but Tech came up with the ball and the Bulldogs ran out the clock. It was a hard loss for us to take, said Coach A. L. Williams. We put forth a great effort, but it just wasn ' t enough in the end.

The game was played in Hammond at SLU ' s Strawberry Stadium on October 31, 1981. The Demons, 2-6 on the season with a five-game losing streak, had a balanced offensive attack. They rushed for 195 yards and gained 190 yards in the air. Quarterback Stan Powell completed 16 of 30 passes and had one touchdown. Senior fullback Carlton Finister carried the ball 20 times for 118 yards and one score. Freshman tailback LeRoy Ellis picked up 60 yards on 14 carries. Coming up with 5 receptions, James Bennett made 70 yards while Jerry Wheeler had a 15-yard scoring reception in the third period. Northwestern ' s front line allowed the Lions less than 100 yards on the ground. One of the top efforts given by the defensive players was linebacker Gary Reasons. The 6 ' 4 , 230 pound sophomore was in on 13 tackles, three behind the line of scrimmage, and he also had the only pass interception of the game. Arthur Berry, a freshman noseguard, played well too. He had six tackles and blocked a Southeastern quick-kick at- tempt. That was the fourth time this season the Demons block- ed an opponent ' s punt making it a school record. The Demons had just one major injury in the game, that being to defensive tackle Bud Snodgrass. Snodgrass suffered a slight concussion and seemed to have pinched a nerve in his neck.

As the Demons prepared for their final road game of the season, Coach Williams stated, Nicholls State is very dangerous in that they can hit the big play anytime. They throw the ball extremely well and Walker can catch the ball . . . No doubt we would like to keep the ball away from him. In spite of any doubts Williams had, the Demons did a good job of coming back after their losing streak. Eric Barkley and Stan Powell com- bined their passing ability for a total of 315 yards. James Ben- nett led in receiving with 75 yards and one touchdown followed by Jimmy Blackwell with 65 yards and one touchdown. Carlton Finister came behind Jones with 41 rushing yards. The punting for the game was led by Clement with four punts averaging 37 yards with a long punt of 44 yards. The NSU Demons did not score until the second quarter when Jones ran three yards for a touchdown. Stan Powell followed with a two yard touchdown which ended the half with a score of 14-3. NSU kept up after the half with two more touchdowns. The third quarter ended 28-3. In the fourth quarter Quickel kicked a 27 yard field goal to bring the score to 31-3. Northwestern then sacrificed the ball allowing Nicholls two touchdowns. The game ended with a 31-17 vic- tory for Northwestern.

The 336 yards was the third highest single game total. Coach A.L. Williams said. We were disappointed early in the season with close games that we lost but I couldn ' t be any prouder of the way this team really stayed with it. He added, Maybe one of the main factors that contributed to tonight ' s win was the fact the boys were playing for Eugene Christmas and wanted to make this night special for him.

' ■H — A.I i Dr. Joseph Orze Dr. Rene Bienvenu An End to Four Years of Leadership The Beginning of a New Era I Administration — 245 NSU President Dr. Rene Bienvenu was President of Northwestern for four years. He was originally from Colfax. Louisiana. He receiv- ed his Bachelor ' s and Master ' s degrees from LSU and his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Bienvenu came to NSU in 1950 as assistant professor of bacteriology. He was at Northwestern for 31 years. As President of the university. Dr. Bienvenu was responsible for all academic programs, fiscal matters, and general opera- tions of the university. He found his job here challenging, rewarding, and at times frustrating. Dr. Bienvenu felt that NSU bettered itself academically and that the credibility of the university had improved itself in the eyes of the La. educators. He also believed the community-university relationships had im- proved. As president. Dr. Bienvenu felt that areas for improvement included: continued efforts towards recruiting students and the pursuit of more active roles for alumni. After serving NSU for 31 years, Dr. Bienvenu retired in January, 1982. Although he admitted he would miss the environment, his colleagues, and the students, he felt that Dr. Bienvenu and his wife Catt relax in their home. his retirement represented a new phase of his life that would offer more free time. Dr. Bienvenu enjoyed working with students. He felt that they were much more mature in their thinking and much more logical in their solutions to problems. Also, they were more intelligent, and more con- cerned with the direction their lives were taking them. Dr. Bienvenu complimented students on their serious mindedness concer- ning the quality of education they obtained. Following his retirement, Dr. Bienvenu had more time to spend with his wife Catt, who taught for several years at Natchitoches Central and was Dr. Bienvenu ' s secretary when he was a department head. Dr. Bienvenu also had a son, two daughters, and two grandchildren. Dr. Bienvenu suggested that students take advantage of opportunities at NSU, not only with academics, but also by participating in university and student affairs. By par- ticipating in functions, students learned to understand people ' s individual peculiarities. This is one asset Dr. Bienvenu advised students to gain from their college career. Dr. Bienvenu waits to make a presentation. ' ■ i Dr Bienvenu speaks at the riverfront rally. Dr. Bienvenu works in his office. dmimstration Dr. Joseph Orze was elected by the Board of Trustees for State Col- leges and Universities to succeed Dr. Rene J. Bienvenu at Northwestern. Selected as Northwestern ' s fifteenth president, Dr. Orze was chosen over sixty-six other applicants who had applied for the position. Holding bac- calaureate and master ' s degrees in art education, Dr. Orze also earned a doctorate in higher education from George Peabody College. He served as a member of the Board of Directors of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and as chairman of the Massachusetts State College of Presidents. A native of Exeter, Pennsylvania, Dr. Orze married Carol Mary Schiferle of Buffalo, New York, and fathered three children. Winning ten major sculpture awards, Dr. Orze exhibited his works of art in more than sixty regional competitions. More than thirty colleges, museums, and private galleries invited him to exhibit his work in exhibitions sponsored by them. At national art competitions and exhibitions, Dr. Orze served as judge and jury member. Active in several honorary societies, Dr. Orze held membership in Kap- pa Phi Kappa, Sigma Chi Alpha, Kappa Delta Pi, and Phi Delta Kappa. He was also listed in Who ' s Who in America, Community Leaders and Noteworthy Americans, Who ' s Who in American Education, and other volumes. In 1978 Dr. Orze served as a delegate for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities Educational Good Will Visit to the National Republic of China. In 1981 he pioneered an associa- tion mission to Poland. He also authored many articles for educational journals and participated in numerous seminars and workshops. During a news conference after his election, Dr. Orze stated, I look forward to the opportunities and challenges of becoming president of Northwestern. I think the university has the attributes — a fine faculty, an expansive curriculm, and a beautiful physical plant — to make it a truly great university. A Administration — 247 Dr. T. P. Souiherland, a native of Bossier City, served as superintendent of Rapides Parish School System. He came to NS1 t 11 s f, -t ' • Dean of the College of Education. Southerland enjoyed his new position at NSU because he felt it added to his knowledge of education. As Vice President of Academic Af- • utherland handled all academic programs as well as the employment and evaluation of faculty. Also, he worked closely with the Deans of the Academic Colleges. Another aspect of his job included achieving an enrollment increase during the 1981 Summer Session. Southerland felt that one way to increase enrollment was through the development of quality academic programs. He felt academic quality was the key to a successful university. This high standard of quality was one way NSU could become known to prospective students. Also, a good public relations program was needed to magnify the positive attitude that came with the achievement of academic excellence. Although, Southerland did not get to visit with students as much as he would have liked, he did feel students were the most important asset at NSU. When asked how he thought students had change d in the past, the vice president presented some enlightening opinions. He said that a wholesome attitude and a stronger adherence to one ' s beliefs were characteristic of modern students. Some of Southerland ' s personal interests included golf and creative woodwork. He readily admitted that his work was his major hobby and that it did take up an adequate amount of time. However, he did enjoy spending time with his wife Max- ine, who was Director of the Center for History of Louisiana Education, and his daughters Judy who received two degrees from NSU and Lisa who earned her MBA Degree at Louisiana Tech. Southerland ' s advice to students was to become involved in campus life, put schoolwork first, attend classes regularly, and to get the most from ones education. One day, he advised, it will all become worthwhile. Vice President of Academic Affairs Vice President of University Affairs Mr. Morris Bass, Vice President of University Affairs, was originally from Tennessee. Mr. Bass had the responsibility of handling finances, maintenance, personnel, purchasing, infor- mational and printing services, University Police, and external affairs. This may have seemed like a difficult task for just one man, but Bass did it well. Bass attended the University of Tennessee at Knoxville where he received his Bachelor ' s and Master ' s degrees in Ac- counting. He then taught at the University of Tennessee for 11 years and at Memphis State for 5 years. Bass came to NSU to serve as Vice President of University Affairs in July 1980. Bass believed that NSU needed improving in the area of enrollment. He also felt that more funds would have enabled the university to be more flexible in its spending and budgeting. Bass thought the student-faculty ratio at NSU was a strong point of the university. He said personal contact was important between students and faculty and that this con- tact made learning more beneficial for the student. When asked how he thought students had changed, Bass said that students today were more alert and more prone to answer questions reasonably. He also advised students to choose a ma- jor field that would give them greater opportunities after graduation. Students must think in terms of job availability and how good the job opportunities for that field are. Bass ' family included his wife and one daughter. Some of his hobbies included fishing, hunting, and scuba diving. Bass com- plimented the NSU faculty by saying that they were easy to work with. He advised students to get involved in extracur- ricular activities and to be leaders. Bass believed that those students who were leaders in college were more likely to assume leadership roles after graduation. Vice President Morris Bass Administration — 249 COMPUTER CENTER At NSU students were just a number. When the Computer ( inter Sttff was handling several kinds of information on thousands of students, using numbers was the only way to be ac- curate Many departments on campus had their own TV-screen terminals available for the input and substitution of information. The real time computer system used at NSl ' allowed administrative offices to converse with the computer concerning the status of students. For instance, the Financial Aid Office could, just by punching a few keys, get a complete list of financial aid being received by one student. The terminals which had been used at NSU for a decade, were a great improvement over the punch cards still used at some universities in Louisiana. Larry Morrison, Director of the Computer Center, felt that the NSl astern, used to teach students com- puter programming, was among the most modern in the state. Students came in direct contact with the Center when they filled out class cards at registration. These cards provided the information necessary to compile reports of registra- tion, general information lists, and class rosters. For those students who enrolled at Campus Extentions such as Fort Polk, the staff typed information into the on- line enrollment system, which served the same purpose as class cards. r.)

The Controller ' s Office was a service department that accounted for univer- sity funds. The staff, under the direc- tion of Carl Jones, collected fees and paid all university bills. They came in contact with every student, either through registration, student payroll, or scholarship checks. The controller provided the accounting service for Northwestern and kept accounts for student organizations such as SGA and Potpourri. L C A IN V I 5 I V« L dN I ■ Serving as Dean of Students for NSU and its satellite cam- puses was Fred Bosarge. As Dean of Students he maintained two different roles. He was personnel dean and chief student af- fairs officer. In both of these roles Bosarge showed concern and interest in the students at NSU. It was the duty of Bosarge and his staff to keep President Bienvenu in- formed of the activities of Student Services, Student Activities, University Bookstore, and the Placement Office. It was also Bosarge ' s duty to publish the Student Hand- book. After serving on various University committees, the Dean of Students found time to sponsor Blue Key, the NSU Cheerleaders, and the Student Government Association. I LnOU IN IN lZL L_. Ever wonder who hired the NSU staff and faculty? The Personnel department at Northwestern managed the overall program for the employment of new staff. They kept the employees ' records and assisted in providing retirement benefits, insurance, and sick leave. The people that Jimmye Taylor and her staff worked with were broken down into two catagories: classified, which consisted of civil service, maintenance, secretaries and so forth, and nonclassified, which was made up of the administrative staff. The Personnel office not only hired the staff, but also interpreted policies and procedures for them. The staff provided the information the President and Vice Presidents needed to make up the opera- tions budget. Although Personnel did no t deal directly with the students, they were a great asset to student life. Where else could a student have found a notary public to have BEOGs notarized? This department worked closely with both Natchitoches and other NSU campuses to provide students and staff with a wealth of information.

Under the direction of Sam Smith, the Student Services staff was concerned with providing housing, infirmary, and food services. The office also handled ID cards, student insurance, and vending contracts. Where could a student go if he had to change his room assignment? The Department of Housing was ready to answer questions such aS this. Becky Brown and her staff also dealt with room keys, custodial service, building utilization, maintenance, and utilities.

Inst Board of Trustees and the Board of Regents prepared studies that helped the ad- ministration make decisions concerning the funding of certain projects. Spon- sored Programs helped individuals and or departments apply for grants and contracts. For instance, when a professor needed funds for a research project. Sponsored Programs filled out the necessary paperwork for the grant. Another of this office ' s services was the interpretation of legal acts and im- plementation of those that concerned NSU. Institutional Research and Sponsored itutional Research did the external research and reporting that was used by the to determine the amount of funding to be received by NSU. The staff also UUN I I N U I N JI t L) U O A I ION. The Continuing Education and Community Services department of NSU was established in 1971 and was under the directorship of Mike McCallister. The Continuing Education section of this department dealt primarily with non-academic instructional activities. Non-credit classes were offered to college students and the members of the surrounding community on an equal basis. These classes were unique because they were taught by people, usually with no formal teaching experience, who were simply interested in the subject they taught. The Community Service aspect of the department dealt with the surrounding communities and responded accordingly to its needs. This department Community Service offered the resources of North- western to the general public and assisted the community in past years by joining the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce in producing films for the city and by sponsoring the Elderhostel Program and the Travelogue Series. J I N I V II 5 I I I I mJ L I y d ■ With orange tickets as their trademark, University Police pro- vided students with the same police service any city police force would provide. The staff, under the command of James Lee, worked 24 hour shifts from 6:00 am to 2:00 pm, 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm and 10:00 pm to 6:00 am. The University Police officers helped students by patrolling crosswalks at busy times of the day. It was also their duty to demonstrate good public rel ations to NSU and Natchitoches by attending athletic events and by forming Crime Preven- tion Teams to patrol recent crime areas. Contrary to the beliefs of many students, University Police did much more than pass out parking tickets. UNIVERSITY PRINTING University Printing, under the direction of Tommy Dunagan, did all the printing for NSU that did not go out on bids. This included such things as stationery, envelopes, and recruitment brochures for the university and individual departments. All of the forms students filled out for enrollment as well as football programs were printed by the University Printing department. Form letters were duplicated for deans, departments, and faculty. University Printing was also in charge of copy machines and ditto machines.

These departments were in charge of the custodial group, the post office, telephone and telegraph services, and the warehouse which stored fuses, nuts, bolts, mops, parts for campus cars, and assorted other necessities for the smooth running of campus activities. In general the Physical Plant, University Plant, Facility Planning and Plant Maintenance took care of all campus af- fairs outside of academic instruction. H I (jl H oOHUvJL Ht LA I l(J N O . What college office could possibly be in- terested in high school students ' Danny Seymour and his staff sure were. High School Relations went around to different high school campuses promoting NSU by visiting with students and giving presentations. During the summer, High School Rela- tions sponsored National Cheerleader Association camp for over 2,000 high school students, an orientation program for incoming freshmen and the LASC Student Council Workshop. Other pro- grams sponsored by High School Rela- tions included District Literary Rally and they worked in conjunction with the NSU Cheerleaders to judge high school cheerleader tryouts. EXTERNAL AFFAIRS External Affairs at NSU was headed by Ray Carney. The NSU Founda- ions, the NSU main concerns of this department were the NSU Foundation, the Demon Booster Club and Alumni Affairs. The tion was an organization that offered Northwestern financial support outside of state funding. Using private donat Foundation established 84 special scholarships for Northwestern students during the 1980 academic year. The De mon Booster Club was concerned with raising money for NSU Athletics and promoting spirit. The Alumni Association also established scholarships for NSU students. The External Affairs office also handled publicity for the Nat- chitoches Christmas Festival, booked engagements for the NSU Entertainers, and entertained visiting dignitaries. TELEVISION CENTER Lights! Camera! Action! Well, maybe the staff of the NSU Television Center did not use these exact words, but whatever words they used, a lot was accomplished under the direction of Tom Whitehead. The center was used to instruct students in techniques of television broadcast and production. Also, the TV Center was used to teach non-broadcast classes. For instance, Dr. Townsend ' s finance classes would tape financial presentations. By watching the film, students were able to improve their presentation techniques. The Documen- tary Film Production Unit produced Ex- plosive Entry Concept for the Louisiana State Police, Atchafalaya Basin: Nature ' s Renewable Resource and Marsh Ero- sion for the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission. Also, Mark Cot- trell produced The Women of Cane River under a National Endowment for the Humanities Grant. UNIVERSITY PRESS The University Press at NSU was the only established university ■ press in the state besides the press at Louisiana State University. John Price was director of the Press which was created by order of President Bienvenu in the spring of 1978. Ezra Adams, managing editor, and Carol Wells, executive editor, assisted Price in preserving in permanently bound volumes material for use by students that were interested in the culture of the area. The press published materials that a trade publisher would not have considered profitable enough to print. Due to the extended period of time needed to publish a book, the staff had as many as five books in varying degrees of completion. Books published by University Press included: Cane River Country, A Kate Chopin Miscellaney, The Collected Works of Ada Jack Carver, A Louisiana Confederate, Belonging, A History of the Louisiana Forestry Commission, and Andrew Durnford. | | tVVO DLJllC LJ The News Bureau covered just about every event on the NSU campus. Under the direction of Jerry Pierce, the staff put out between three and five press releases per day. In addition to putting out releases, the bureau published the university catalogue, bulletin, and student handbook. Other publications included: an in- house newsletter put out on the first and fifteenth of every month, departmental brochures and flyers, and feature articles for Quarter Horse Magazine. Jim Johnson served as Assistant Director, while Steve Roe handled all sports information, and Don Sepulvado served as the university photographer. STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND I l J g INI _ I I I N ■ Being involved in activities and organizations played an important role in a student ' s academic career. For those students who did not know where to begin, Robert Wilson and Camille Hawthorne, Director and Coordinator, respectively, of Student Activities and Organizations, were there to help. A list of all campus organizations was available to assist students in finding the bevy right for them. The organizations on this list had to receive their original charters through the office of Student Activities and Organizations. Also, this office, in cooperation with the Intramural Depart- ment, published a calendar of events for the academic year. Other functions of the Activities and Organizations Staff were to reserve rooms in the Student Union for organizations ' use and to give organiza- tions clearance for fund raisers. (1. to r.) Paula Robertson, Davis Palmour, Robert Wilson, Jim Hurd, Camille Hawthorne Uw ■ i J I vliLi The NSU Bookstore was visited by nearly every student on campus. Most people shopped for books, while at least a few, mostly freshmen, stocked up on NSU T-shirts and other symbols of the Demon Spirit. The Bookstore Staff, headed by Darlene Rachal, met a mighty demand by keeping the shelves of the store well-stocked with everything from textbooks, posters, and school supplies to personal items, cards, art supplies and a dozen varieties of T- shirts. Between its 7:30 am opening and its 5:30 pm closing, the Bookstore not only sold items, but was also the only place on campus where students could cash checks. A special book order service was available to provide students with books that may not be kept in stock. Besides these in-store services the Staff also met all the University Departments ' office needs and supplied textbooks and novelty items to the Campus Extensions located at England Air Force Base, Loui- siana College, Fort Polk, and Shreveport. J l J rlMO I IN v3 ■ It any faculty or staff member wanted to buy anything over $50, the purchasing department, under the direction or Sylvan Sibley, was available to complete the necessary paperwork. The department was established to provide NSl with a confusion-free System lor obtaining supplies and materials according to state law, university regulation and executive order of the Governor of Louisiana. The purchasing procedures used varied according to the cost of the item being purchased. For items that cost between $50 and $200, written descriptions had to be sent to at least three vendors. For items between $200 and $999 written descriptions had to be sent to at least five vendors. The lowest bidder was decided by the purchasing department after two weeks. For items that cost more than $1000 written descriptions had to be sent to at least eight vendors and had to be advertised in state and local newspapers. After 30 days the sealed bids were opened in a public bid opening. In all three of these categories purchase orders then had to be made and money had to be secured from the Controller. SPECIAL SERVICES ■ The Special Services program at Northwestern, headed by- Frances VTatkins, was designed to assist the student who had problems. This program offered tutoring services for those who were eligible. Their tutors were carefully selected students who were highly skilled in the area which they tutored. For those students who were not eligible for Special Services tutoring, the Blue Key members volunteered their services. Another service offered by the staff was counseling for both academic and per- sonal problems. The students could be counseled either on an individual basis or in a group. Special Services also helped with the handicapped by supplying health service referrals. Last, but certainly not least. Special Services assisted those students who had financial difficulties by finding them employment. ' I IIN|  INI V l L IL  Without the help of Ann McNeely and her staff in Financial Aid many students would have been unable to attend college. This office was designed to help students who, without financial assistance, would have been unable to attend NSU. Students received any one or a combination of types of financial aid. Generally, student aid was divided into the following categories: loans, grants, employment and scholarships. Northwestern participated in federally funded programs which included Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, Public Health Scholarship, College Work-Study Program, State Student Incentive Grant, Nursing Student Loan, National Direct Student Loan, and the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant. In order to have been eligible for these programs, students had to be U.S. citizens, nationals or permanent residents. Students also had to be in good academic standing, had to be making satisfactory progress toward a degree, and had to show a clear need for financial assistance. REGISTRAR If there was one office on campus that was perfect (or should have been) it was the Registrar ' s. Austin Temple and his staff worked throughout the year to keep things running smoothly at NSU. The major undertaking for the staff was, of course, registration. Preparations for this event were begun months in advance so that the schedule of classes could be prepared and the class cards organized. Another task of the Registrar ' s office was to main- tain the academic records of each stu- dent. This included checking grades after each semester and checking to be sure that all candidates for graduation had met specific criteria. In addition to these functions, the Registrar and his staff kept Veteran ' s Administration Certifications for approximately 400 students attending college on GI Benefits and helped foreign students attain educational visas.

Vitamin B l2 shots.- ' Ice packs. ' These and much more were provided at the NS1 Infirmary Mot Tang was Opal Gimbert ' s prescription for sore throats and mild colds. Vitamin B |2 shots boosted anyone who fell tired or run down and ice packs were used for anything from sprained ankles to insect bites. A doctor, as well as an x-ray service were only a phone call away. Mrs. Gimbert. who was employed by NSU for 26 years, spent eight hours a day in the infirmary and took care of a varie- ty of illnesses. If a student took allergy shots, he needed only to take the medicine to Mrs. Gimbert and she ad- ministered the shot. POST OFFICE Located near the Student Union, the University Post Office was one of the busier locations on campus due to people checking their post office boxes. Every student had the opporrunity to rent a post office box before each semester for a small fee. The post office also provided mailboxes for the outgoing mail which was picked up twice a day. In addition to regular mail distribu- tion, David Christophe and his staff distributed campus correspondence. Operated as a branch of the Natchitoches Post Office, the University Post Office was required to send reports to the main office on a daily basis. To maintain the post office as an efficient operation, ten employees were hired. The post office personnel consisted of four civil employees and six student workers. Administration STUDENT UNION CAFETERIA quick bite? Grab a meal to go? The Student Un questions. Many upperclassmen, faculty membe atmosphere it provided. The customers had the opportunity to purchase either a hot meal or a hot sandwich such as a hamburger, a ham and cheese sandwich, or a roast beef sandwich. Available to all students except freshmen, the variable meal plan could be used to pay for all food bought at the Student Union Cafeteria. In addition to providing meals, the cafeteria staff frequently catered ban- quets for campus and community organizations. The organizations hired the staff to cater their individual banquets. ■ Need a place to meet friends? Eat a ion Cafeteria, under the direction of Don Keith, provided the answers for these rs, and guests a ssociated in the Student Union Cafeteria because of the friendly (1. to r.)

I D 1 1 V I L L t UAlt I tlll . Under the direction of Linda Nicholas, Iberville Din- ing Hall provided the students of Northwestern with meals three times a day, seven days a week. Dominated by freshmen and athletes, Iberville was always crowded during dining hours. In addition to the regular meals, the staff of Iberville provided a dietetic meal plan for interested students. To add variety to the meals, special meal nights — such as outside bar-b-ques, steak nights, and a picnic on Chaplain ' s Lake — were planned at regular intervals. Parties for special occasions were also scheduled such as a Halloween party, a midnight breakfast during Tech week, and a Western party. During football season, Iberville also had the duty of pro- viding for the VIP box at the home foot- ball games. First Shift, (1. to r.)

Administration CENTER FOR THE HISTORY (Jr LUUIOlANA bUUOA I I U IN . The Center for the History of Louisiana Education began with a box of old education items and developed into a living record of the growth and development of education in Louisiana. A one room schoolhouse from Cloutierville housed student desks of many styles and ages. School bells, roll-top librun desks, lantern slide rs l ' rth century lunch baskets. - Readers and other books and materials dating back to the 1800s made up a great part of the Center. Director, Maxine Southerland provided dynamic leadership in the establishment of the center and in securing historical materials for the success of the pro- ject. WATSON MEMORIAL LIBRARY. «.„, « . «. . without a library- ' They probably would have done a lot less research and homework and a lot more goofing off. The Eugene P. Watson Memorial Library contained a wealth of information. The library staff, under the direction of William Buchanon, provided every kind of research service imaginable. A few of the available ser- vices were microfishe and microfilm records and U.S. Documents and Ar- chives. Early in 1981 the library received a service new to the Northwestern Campus. A Bibliographic On-Line Computer Search Service was installed. This com- puter indexed and printed out sources for any subject that was fed into it. The in- formation was either received immediate- ly on a print out, which was called on- line, or was sent to the student in about a week. This new service brought Watson Library up to par with other Louisiana university libraries. (front, I. to r I Rebecca Lawrence. Abbie Landry. Linda Viene, Charles Harrington, (back.

Administration College of Business Curricula in the College of Business under the direction of Dean David Townsend provided educational experiences which prepared students for a variety of business, teaching, and ad- ministrative careers. Accounting, computer science, finance, management, marketing, business education (teacher prepara- tion), and secretarial administration were some of the concentra- tions selected by business students. Degree programs in business were pursued at three levels: the two-year associate degree, the four-year bachelor of science degree, and the master ' s degree. 3ean David C. Townsend College of Education The College of Education under the instruction of Dean Robert A. Alost had the primary purpose of preparing well-qualified teachers for elementary and secondary schools in Louisiana. The College of Education also offered services to school systems in a continuous effort to improve the total educational program. Many departments of the University con- tributed to the teacher education program by advising students and providing course work in their respective areas. The program of teacher education was based on certain beliefs and assumptions and was designed to aid the students in the realization of certain objectives. Dean Robert A. Alost V ■ ' College of Liberal Arts The College of Liberal Arts headed by Dean George A. Stokes provided a variety of curricula for students. These included Art, Dance, History, Languages, Military Science, Music, Social Sciences, Sociology and Social Work, Theatre, and Mass Com- munications. Majors under these different depart- ments ranged from Advertising Design in the Art Department to Rehabilitation and Related Services in the Sociology and Social Work Department. Dean George A. Stokes Administration • Graduate Studies and Research The College of Graduate Studies under Dean Donald Rawson sought to introduce students to methods of scholarly research, to contribute to in- creased competency in teaching and school ad- ministration, to provide students with a deeper understanding of human knowledge, and to spark the initiative for further independent study and research. These objectives led to acquiring a Master ' s Degree in a student ' s chosen held. Dean Donald Rawson College of Science and Technology Dean Edward W. Graham headed the College of Science and Technology, which dealt with Allied Health Professions. The Departments of Agriculture and Geological Sciences. Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Physics, Industrial Education and Technology, Mathematics, and Microbiology and Biochemistry were all grouped under the College of Science and Technology. These departments covered such fields as Animal Science, Graphic Arts, and Wildlife Management. Dean Edward Graham College of Nursing The College of Nursing under direction of Dean Peggy J. Ledbetter provided educational experience and opportunities that enabled individuals to gain competence for becoming practitioners of nursing and responsible contributing members of their profes- sion and their community. The present and emerging roles of nursing were influenced by the education of the practitioner, by changes in the health care delivery system, and by nurses who see the need for change in the role definitions. The College of Nursing provided opportunities for students to explore and implement the present and emerging roles by preparing them to function in health care settings. Dean PeggyJ. Ledbetter College of Basic Studies and Academic Services The College of Basic Studies and Academic Ser- vices under Dean Richard H. Galloway was designed for the individual with special needs. The College of- fered a general curriculum program that provided maximum study opportunities and explored educa- tional and career objectives and program and course choices. The General Curriculum program was de- signed to assist those students who were still explor- ing educational and career objectives. The College of Basic Studies counselors worked with students to evaluate academic and self awareness as a guide to career planning and worked with them to select schedules of courses adaptable to any course of study that they may have chosen.

Robert Horneman, Coordinator of Fac Sylvia Rayfield, head of associate degree progr Don LaRossee and Martha Morris, oustanding students, cut the versary cake. I n November 1981 two-year associate degree nursing pro- grams across the country celebrated their thirtieth anniversary. In Shreveport, Northwestern State University ' s associate degree nursing program on Kings Highway had double reason for celebration. In addition to the national thirtieth anniversary, Northwestern ' s AD program moved into its tenth year of preparing students for careers as registered nurses. One aspect of the thirtieth anniversary activities was to increase public awareness of the role played by associate degree nursing pro- grams in providing nurses who work primarily in the hospital setting, an area which has drawn increasing public concern due to the national shortage of registered nurses in hos pitals. The associate degree graduate is prepared as a technical practitioner, to care for patients that are in the hospital and have common and recurring illnesses, said Sylvia Rayfield, head of NSU ' s associate degree program. That focus of AD programs in help- ing to meet the nursing shortage by providing bedside care nurses met with success, too.

Elabeth, Jefferson I - - • k houts of encouragement and squeals of excitement could be heard coming from Nesom Natatorium. The reason? NSU physical education students were teaching elementary school students and exceptional children from Natchitoches to handle themselves in water. This unique swimming program was started in 1976 by Judy Viers, Sam Coker, and Allen Bonnette, to teach Natchitoches area children the drown-proofing concept. The program also enabled the college students to experience the positive impact of water on the physical and mental development of young children and the handicapped. Viers, a teacher of exceptional children at Parks Elementary, was surprised when the swimming experience resulted in substantial improvements in the skills and attitudes of the children. Their behavior is different on swimming days than on the days we don ' t swim, she said. The children weren ' t the only ones who learned from the experience. The student instructors learned responsibility. Bonnette said of the instructors, They have children who are dependent upon them, and that is an important - bility. Even though the class was mainly •nal. it also gave the kids the chance to i ck of a lot of fun.

With popular music blaring in the background, these words encouraged Northwestern Aerobics students to sweat through hard work disguised as dance. Vicki Parrish and Lisa Breazeale, of the NSU Dance Department, led over 200 coeds each week in strenuous exercise to tunes by such recording artists as George Benson, Neil Diamond, Terry Gibbs, and Olivia Newton-John. While multicolored tight-covered legs bicycled in the air, students complained about being tired and aching muscles. Despite these complaints, most students enjoyed aerobics classes, and many attended classes even when they were not required to. Aimed primarily at increased cardiovascular endurance, aerobics was viewed by some as an avenue toward weight reduction. The dance department also used aerobics as an aid in Natchitoches-Northwestern relations, as many area residents took the classes through the Division of Continuing Education. Not to be outdone by the women at NSU, male students began to inquire about aerobics. Plans were therefore made for a class for men taught by Ken Woodard, leading the way to an entire campus of enthusiastic dancers moving to jog, two, three, clap, hop ...

T, here was something very special about the Natchitoches Folk Festival! The 15.000 people who attended the three day Festival in July, 1981, were treated to a look at the unique blend of cultures found in Louisiana. The multicultural festival under the direction of Dr. Donald W. Hatley focused on the colorful past of the state ' s timber industry and how it dramatically influenced the lives of people across the state. The industry was recognized through a series of carefully planned exhibits. During the two daytime sessions of the festival more than 40 master craftsmen showed handmade products and demonstrated their techniques. Crafts featured at the festival ranged from dolls made from cornshucks to wooden bowls carved from tupelo gum to deer hide tanning to fiddle construction and repair. The preservation of folk art was a major step toward saving Louisiana heritage and history, and that made the festival special. What better place to preserve history than historic Natchitoches?

Well, in 1832 Judge Henry Adams Bullard built a 2Vi story home on a hill near what is now Chaplain ' s Lake. The mansion, which was built in Greek Colonial Architecture design, was later used as a convent. The convent was the beginning of the Normal School which later became Northwestern State University. After the convent closed in 1875, Bullard Mansion was left to decay until Reconstruction troops were housed there in 1878. In 1884, the Town of Natchitoches and Natchitoches Parish bought the land surrounding the mansion for $6000. When the structure became a safety hazard in 1913, college officials had Bullard Mansion torn down. Some of the wood was used in the building of Caldwell Hall. The four columns, which stood 26 feet high with 4 foot square bases, remained on the site. Years later one of the columns toppled leaving only three to become a historic landmark symbolic of NSU.

He only used white poster paper, scissors, a ruler, glue, and lots of patience. Batiste ' s hobby was born of boredom when he was in the seventh grade. His first effort was a three-wheel tractor that was not easily recognizable as such. After much practice, Batiste completed a Model -T for his art class. What started out as just a hobby turned into a money-making venture. Batiste, who made mainly farm equipment models, spent between $5 and $10 on material for each project. He sold them for between $70 and $200 apiece. Of the several hundred models made by Batiste the John Deere Company of Memphis, Tennessee, ordered six to be used for promotional purposes. Batiste said that if he could make money on the models that was okay, and if they didn ' t sell that was okay, too. After all, the models were just a hobby and hobbies are just for fun.

Returning students found it the same quiet college town that had always welcomed them with open arms and had provided a perfect setting for unforgettable memories. The town was geared strictly for the wants and needs of college students. Most restaurants in town were willing to take checks and clothing stores stocked clothes that kept up with the ever changing fads of college students. All this was greatly appreciated as was the cooperation of the town in giving students a taste of history and tradition. The Natchitoches Folk Festival and the Christmas Festival along with the history behind these helped to make Natchitoches a meaningful second home. The Christmas lights brighten the river front.

Courses at Warrington were designed to give students conventional classroom situations as well as practical work with patients. The facilities in Shreveport included a building for each of the undergraduate and graduate programs. The undergraduate building housed dormitory ccture and conference rooms, offices, laboratories, a library and rial areas while the graduate building was composed of faculty conference rooms, laboratories and classrooms. Clinical fof all nursing students were provided by hospitals and with which the University had contractual agreements. ■1 «v £ -- CC K$ t m Nancy Mizell prepares for another day of classes.

One day his teacher told him to write a story for his English class. So Steve Knotts thought and thought. The product of Steve ' s imagination was a city-dweller turned cowboy named Joe. Joe is the main character of a children ' s book written by Steve that also met requirements for his Child Development class. Steve, in two weeks, drew and painted the sixty illustrations tor Joe the Cowboy which deals with the problems faced by an urbanite transplanted to the country. The climax of the story occurs when Joe accidentally ropes a wild bull just in time to save some of his friends and thus becomes a hero. The creation of Joe the Cowboy was not Steve ' s first professional work. In Piano, he was employed by a t-shirt shop as a designer and he also created a logo for a local golf tournament. Depending on the success oijoe the Cowboy , there is a possibility of a story book ending and the chance to say he lived happily ever after. JL LESTER. Don III, Natchitoches LEVO, Debbie, Many LEWIS.

I t was the inalienable right of every student at Sl ' to wear button-downs and topsiders. Even though many students chose to wear concert t- shirts and disco jeans, there were the cultured few who sported Lacoste Izods and Ralph Lauren Polos. One could not help but notice the bright plaids and pinks and greens that were characteristic of a preppy ' s wardrobe. For summer fun, preppies could be seen frolicking across campus in their khaki and plaid bermuda shorts coordinated with an untucked, long-tailed Izod and sockless topsiders. Since preppy sports, such as lacrosse and field hockey. were nowhere to be found at Northwestern, preps had to settle for a drive around town while sipping on frozen drinks from one of the local liquor establishments. When the weather turned cool, preps turned to straight-leg Levi ' s, corduroys, and layered tops which combined to give that rustic, outdoors) - look that preps loved. For dressier occasions, navy- blue blazers and plaid kilt skirts worn with knee socks provided adequate attire. Preps often had to tolerate abuse from non- preps who said dressing preppy was just a fad. But real preppies knew deep in their madras plaid hearts that there was no truth to the saying, See ya ' later alligator. Izods and topsiders can be fc III IB I Undergraduates PET-ROD W3SB3BM 11 PETERS, Evelyn Denise, Alexandria PETERS, Melody, Lake Charles PETERSON, Theresa, Goldonna PH1LIBERT, Lisa, Keithville PHILLIPS, Gayla.

I would like to thank everyone who helped make this book possible. Mr. Adams, thanks for all of your help in the planning stages of the book — but it seems that we both skipped town when the real work came! Dean Bosarge, thanks for stepping in on such short notice. You did a great job. Jim Johnson and the Publications Committee, thanks for giving me the opportunity to edit this edition of the Potpourri. I only hope it lives up to your expectations. If, in spite of all the setbacks, the ' 82 Potpourri does happen to be a success, credit should go to the staff. Russell, thanks for taking over while I was gone. Just think, less than two years ago, you knew nothing about year- books, and now you are at UT, on the CACTUS staff. I ' m impressed. Being janitor probably doesn ' t pay much, but I ' m still impressed! I Kristy, what can I say? You were the best staff member this year! I had to say it. Thanks for having confidence in me — I ' m sure my name had something to do with it. Ed, thanks for doing such a fine job on your section. Also, thanks for helping finish up the book in January (and February, and March . . .). Well, it really doesn ' t matter when you finish, as long as you do finish. Right, Taylor?!? Photography makes or breaks a yearbook. Renae and Melanie, thanks. I ' m looking for a Mark of Distinction in photography this year. Diane, sorry for dumping so much work on you, but you did it and I ' m really proud. LeAnn, you did so much work and never complained. Well, at least I never heard you. Good luck; you are a good yearbook person. Apprentices, you were the ones who really made it fun. If it wasn ' t for you, I ' m sure the oldies would be at each others ' throats. Literally. And finally, I would like to thank my family and friends. I would not have made it through the year if it wasn ' t for their love and support. Extra special thanks to Billy and Gwen. So there you have it. The year has ended and the 1982 Potpourri is now history. There are so many more people to thank; the people who made my job an experience that I ' ll never forget and one that I will always cherish. You know who you are. Thanks for the memories. i4 Jyic 6dia Potpourri Editor, 1982 From my education I want no more than the straightest line from me to the person standing next to me. I want to gather, to pick and choose from the past and from that to form my character, my opinions, my soul. I can ask no more than to be left alone with the knowledge of the past; it is there I will find the wisdom that launches me a step above those who live only for today. It is important to compete, for without competition there is no scale by which I can judge myself. However, when that competition blinds my purpose or becomes my purpose it will be time to stop. Nothing, no honor, no title, is more important than my responsibility to myself. I want to enjoy this time. I want to be close to those who understand me. I want to be asked for help and capable to give it. I want to laugh. I want to protect my solitude and yet expand enough to share with others. It is important to find someone special for my life and there is no better time or place to begin the search. I hope that I will not be hardened and unreachable when I find that person. It is not too much to ask, to hope, and to work for.
