1908 1983 POTPOURR1 1983 NORTHWESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY NATCHITOCHES, LOUISIANA STATE UMIVERSITY r 5$ H, | My personal goal for Northwestern State University can be summed up in two words: excellence and integrity. We should strive for excellence in all that we do or are a part of. Whether in academics, athletics, research, cultural activities or its community services, the University must strive for excellence; to be the best that it is capable of being and, in so doing, be better than its competitors. Northwestern student, John Vicento, finds the maps located on second floor Keyser a big help in geography courses Students await the start of a lecture by NSU ' s Associate Professor Charles Keenan. f iHMim pr: imi — t ffi It tHjHHyl sBI 1W- ' r NSU students find the lobby of Kyser Hall an excellent place for between class chats Two NSU students spend their time in the lobby of the Student Union. ' We must not only strive for excellence; we must achieve it with integrity. The process of achievement must be one that we can take pride in. It must be able to withstand the most minute scrutiny and emerge as being ethically and morally sound and without the slightest blemish of suspicion. As we achieve our goals, we and others must be able to take pride not only in our excellence, but also in the process of its attainment. NSU co-ed finds the Student Union the perfect place for an afternoon snack. Amy Spicer and Kim Kimble reflect the friendliness of students that has become a Northwestern trademark. We need to continually reinforce and emphasize the fact that the University is first and foremost an environment for education. The process of formal education is fundamentally a teacher learner experience. Students come to the University to learn, and professors are here primarily to teach them. Students are the reason for the University ' s existence. Dane Broussard and Harlan Harvey patronize the Student Union Cafeteria to indulge in between meals snacks. Students benefit from research, creative activity and community service, but they benefit most from dedicated, effective teaching, and, I therefore, dedicated effective teaching % must be the primary mission of « Northwestern State University. Carolyn Lee and Audrey Boudreaux share a humorous moment in the NSU Post Office. _ ' We live, work and play best in an environment that is clean, healthy, safe and aesthetically pleasing. Our environment is a magnificent campus, a superb setting for a university in an historic, tradition rich and beautiful small city. It is incumbent upon us to interact with it in such a way that it grows in beauty and functionability as an educational environment through our respect and care of it. • ' A ' V ■ m ?S8R. Trees of many different types are abundant on NSU ' s sprawling campus. ' Within the pervasive excellence of the University that is to be, I envision academic programs which are pinnacles of excellence; those distinctive programs which enunciate the uniqueness of Northwestern State University and reinforce its position of leadership in higher education within the State, throughout the South, and, in special instances, across the Nation. Russell Hall, the old library, located on the Historic Normal Hill, is an example of the beautiful architecture at NSU. ■ mSEm The magnificent fireworks display is one of the major attractions at the Natchitoches Christmas Festival. The Church Street bridge across Cane River becomes the host „,,,., ., , , , , ■  , L ..,- r , ■ .. for a fabulous display of lights Riverbank displays contribute to the light show making Natchitoches the City of Lights. The university is truly a partner in progress with Natchitoches and the surrounding community, and it must interact effectively with its constituencies for the mutual benefit of each, always mindful of the educational impact and implications of all its interactive ventures and services. Natchitoches and Northwestern have a nice ring when the names are said in combination. We must do whatever is necessary to fortify the already strong bonds between them. The University, the City, the State and the region will all benefit in the process. Students find time for an afternoon visit in the Student Union. ' The students whom I have met and come to know impress me as level-headed, serious, clear-thinking people, who are pretty well in tune with the world and our times. They are clearly the strongest assets and the most effective spokepersons the University has and tops among its most ardent supporters The bench outside the post office is an ideal meeting place for NSU students L. _ T Betsey Corley spends time working in the NSU TV Studio Northwestern State University is a healthy ecological system . . . The vitality is in its people. We have an excellent, extremely well-qualified faculty who compare favorably both individually and as a body with the faculties of well- esteemed universities. Dee Dee Hollenbeck and R L. Smith pick up packages on their daily trip to the NSU Post Office. NSU ' s Watson Memorial Library is an excellent facility for study. The NSU Demon football team spends many long hours at practice Athletics are a vital part of Northwestern State University. Excellence in athletics is not only a viable goal for the University, it is a necessary one that must complement excellence in academics as well as in all aspects of the University ' s being. Excellence in athletics has been an important part of the history of Northwestern State University. A commitment must be made to make it an important part of the University ' s future. Coach )ohnnie Emmons discusses the game of tennis the NSU tennis team. 1 ne of the many helpful workers at Iberville Cafeteria served hundreds of NSU students dail The University is an educational environment. It is unique in the fact that a small child can enter a nursery school on its campus and earn a doctorate degree two decades later without leaving the campus. With the new Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts now located on its campus, the University offers a richness and variety of educational opportunities for people of all ages, interests and abilities that is unequaled not only in Louisiana or the South, but in the nation. 7 am proud to be a part of Northwestern State University ...Itisa good University. With the proper attitude and cooperation of the entire community, it can become a great University equal to any of its size and scope. To become great, it must strive for excellence in all that it does and do it with integrity. When excellence pervades its entire being, it will achieve greatness.

An error was discovered that deserved immediate cor- rection as we underwent research for our Homecoming Banquet. It was discovered that in 1918, 1920, and 1944, the POTPOURRI was not published, largely due to the strain of war. Volume numbers do not, however, reflect this. Therefore, this is actually volume 72 and not 75. A correction has been made accordingly. - EdDupuis EVENTS EDITED BY ED DUPUIS HOMECOMING NSU President Dr Joseph looks on as Homecoming Queen Laurie Weaver is escorted down the field.

T DISTINGUISHED LECTURE SERIES JONATHAN KOZOL Controversial education writer Jonathan Kozol told a Northwestern State University audience that public school teachers are ' pimping tor the textbook authors when they use guidebooks which instruct them in the way students should react to such material as stories and poems These guidebooks teach manipulation, but will never admit said Kozol, who has been highly critical of the teacher ' s guide accompanying the Basal Reader . Both teacher and stu- dent are denied any chance of intellectual surprises with this type of manipulation, he stated. As Kozol discussed the fake discovery method of educa- tional indoctrination, he said, Children are led to discover what we have already decided upon. The child who breaks the pattern becomes an adversary of the teacher. Kozol, who won the National Book Award for Death at an Early Age and recently published Alternative Schools: A Guide for Educators and Parents, said children in public schools are being pointed toward nationalistic conclusions and directed to learn the superior value of the lives of American citizens. ART LAFFER Dr Art Laffer, supply-side economics theorist was recognized nationally as the economist whose supply-side theory for cutting taxes to increase government revenues was adopted by President Ronald Reagan. Currently a member of the Los Angeles Times Board of Economists, he was one of the President ' s top ad- viser ' s during the 1980 presidential campaign and later served as a member of Reagan ' s Economic Policy Advisory Board. Laffer, famous for develo ping the Laffer curve , previously worked for a brief period in the Richard Nix- on administration ' s Office of Management and Budget. The economist is a professor of business economics at the University of Southern California and has his own consulting firm. TT DISTINGUISHED LECTURE SERIES JACK REYNOLDS The People ' s Republic of China does not want a military confrontation with the Soviet Union, NBC News Hong Kong correspondent Jack Reynolds said at Northwestern State University. For years the Chinese have had fears and resent- ments about Russia, stated Reynolds, who added that 48 to 52 armored divisions of the Russian military have been placed along the China border to discourage the thought of such a confrontation. Appearing in the Distinguished Lecture Series, Reynolds expressed the opinion that the Chinese are not equipped to win a war with the Soviet Union For the Chinese, he said, their army is of the 1950s, not well equipped. And to make matters worse, they have been cutting the military back the last two years. They wouldn ' t stand a chance in a con- frontation with armored tanks. On the sea, the situation for the Chinese is not much better, Reynolds said, Their ships are also from the 1950 ' s, not much above the Korean War, stated Reynolds, who has covered China for NBC for more than a decade. According to Reynolds, the horrible cultural revolution which prevailed under Chairman Mao Tse-Tung is over, and the Chinese are trying to recover from the experience through the leadership of Deng Xiao-Ping, vice-chairman of the Communist Party since 1977. The revolution came unglued under Mao, and the Chinese are now trying to get it back together again. said Reynolds. I CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL For the 15th consecutive year, the large windows in the front of the Stu- dent Union Building at NSU were transformed into huge, colorful murals depicting an unusual variety of Christmas scenes. More than 100 students representing 17 campus organiza- tions paint post-card like pictures on the windows of the Student Union and for the first time, the four glass panels of Ibberville Dining Hall. A popular tradition at NSU, the Christmas window decorations pro- gram has been conducted since 1968 by the SUGB. Along with the windows on the Student Union Building, students were able to enjoy the many other activities during the 56th annual Christmas Festival. INVESTITURE CEREMONIES More than 2000 people from throughout the state were at Northwestern State University Friday, November 5, for the in- vestiture convocation in which Dr. Joseph J Orze was formally installed as the 15th president of NSU. Among those accepting special invitations to attend the ceremonies were members of the state legislature, the Board of Trustees for Louisiana Colleges and Universities and the Loui- siana Board of Regents for Higher Education Also attending were several presidents of Louisiana colleges and universities, superintendents of parish school systems, local and parish elected officials and members of the NSU Alumni Association and Foundation Boards of Directors. Presenting salutory remarks during the investiture convocation were Dr. William Junkin, executive director of the Louisiana Board of Trustees for Colleges and Universities, Dr. William Arceneaux, executive director of the Louisiana Board of Regents for Higher Education, Raymond Arthur, president of the North- western Alumni Association, Dr. Maxine Taylor, professor of history and president of the NSU Faculty Senate, and Joseph Stamey, senior accounting major and president of the NSU Stu- dent Government Association. The keynote address for the event was delivered by Dr Allen Ostar of Washington, DC, president of the American Associa- tion of State Colleges and Universities. His address was entitled, Higher Education Leadership in the Eighties. The installation of Orze as the 15th president of NSU was con- ducted by Wiley H. Sharp of Hammond, President of the Loui- siana Board of Trustees for Colleges and Universities. Orze delivered his investiture address following the installation ceremonies. Day-long activities were planned for Orze ' s investiture, begin- ning with an ecumenical mass at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Natchitoches. Following the mass was a reception at the Lemee House hosted by the City of Natchi- toches and the Natchitoches Parish Chamber of Commerce. An informal noon luncheon honoring Orze and the opening of the NSU Art De partment ' s alumni art exhibit in the Art gallery of the A. A.

NaTCHiTOCHeS FOLK FeSTiUaL Over 12,000 people from across the United States and from several foreign nations were expected to attend the four sessions of the Nat- chitoches Folk Festival July 16-18 in Prather Coliseum at Northwestern State University. Sponsored since 1980 by the Louisiana Folklife Center of NSU, this ' Very special festival has become a major event because it presented essential cultural traditions which preserve the rich heritage of Louisiana peoples. Directed by Dr. Donald W. Hatley and carefully planned by a 14- member steering committee, the Natchitoches Folk Festival was dedicated to the preservation and restoration of native Loui siana folk music, dance, crafts, lore and foods. The nighttime music shows featured Hadley Castille and His Cajun Band, Southland Bluegrass, Joe Bradford and the Acadian Playboys and the Natchitoches Bluesmen on Friday and Tex Grimsley and the New Red River Ramblers, Cush Cush, the Loggy Bayou Misfits and Hezekiah and the Houserockers on Saturday. The Saturday and Sunday daytime sessions featured a wide variety of folk music on three stages, more than 30 master craftsmen demonstrating their folk art, 11 ethnic food booths and a unique exhibit honoring Louisiana ' s gigantic oil and gas industry. The highlight of the festival ' s tribute to the oil and gas industry came Saturday when internationally-famous wild well firefighter Paul N. Red Adair of Houston appeared during the daytime session. The exhibit on Louisiana ' s oil and gas industry included a small cable derrick and a display of the oldest well- drilling tools in existence. | The nighttime music shows presented at the festival I featured some of Louisiana ' s finest bluegrass, blues, Ca- jun and country barn dance music. These three-hour music shows have been compared in quality to the Louisiana Hayride and the Grand Ole Opry. No other festival in Louisiana offered visitors a wider variety of traditional crafts than the third annual Nat- chitoches Folk Festival. Two of the master craftsmen ■ ! walking stick carver David Allen of Homer and duck decoy I carver Irvan Perez of Poydras - were featured at the National ; Folk Festival at Wolf Trap Park in Virginia and the Festival of American Folklife in Washington, D.C. Every known Louisiana Indian basket-making technique and nearly the whole range of Indian crafts was represented in the festival ' s craft component. Only the Texas Folklife Festival at San Antonio and the Loui- siana Jazz and Heritage Festival at New Orleans came close to the variety of the folk music groups presented at NSU. UNIVERSITY PLAYS Allan Barnes of Marrero and Lionel Bourg of Natchitoches in a dramatic scene from the play Bus Stop William Inge ' s play, Bus Stop, opened its four day, five performance run on February 15 in Theatre 320 of the Student Union Building at NSU. The University Theatre of Northwestern presented ' Bus Stop as its first theatrical offering of the spring semester. Bus Stop , which offered an interesting mixture of drama, romance and comedy, was directed by Sally Carmichael of the NSU Department of Theatre and Speech faculty. The play was first presented by Robert Whitehead and Roger Stevens at the Music Box in New York City in 1955 and was later made into a major motion picture starring Marilyn Monroe. The action of the play took place inside a stree t ( orner restaurant in a small Kansas town about 30 miles from Kansas City. The restaurant was a int for the bus lines in the area. The bus bound for Topeka arrived at the n the midst of a blizzard. The roads losed ahead of the restaurant, so the .ind the bus driver were forced to e night in the restaurant. •vas full of romantic conflicts and in- to the plot are drama and comedy as plained Mrs. Carmichael. The original musical revue El Grande de Coca- Cola was presented Monday through Friday, November 15-19, 1982, in the Student Union Ballroom at Northwestern State University. Nan L. Stephenson, assistant professor and direc- tor of the University Theatre at NSU, directed the production for the Department of Theatre and Speech, which sponsored the five performances. Set in a makeshift nightclub and bottling plant in a coastal resort village in Honduras, El Grande de Coca-Cola concerned the zany Hernandez family and their impractical attempt to achieve stardom by pretending to be international stars in a show spon- sored by their cousin, the local Coca-Cola bottler. Angela Rome of Marrero played the lead role of Pepita Hernandez, the mistress of ceremonies who introduces the various members of her family in the musical revue. Other members of the cast included Benjamin Bryant and Tim LeBoeuf of Natchitoches, Betsy Cor- ley of Winnsboro, Marva Moxey of the Bahamas, Angelita Police of Shreveport and Darlene Winslow of Zwolle.

History, Social Sciences and Social Work a combined faculty of twenty (20) trom the former departments of History, Social Sciences and ey and Social Work will make up the Department of History and Social While History retains its identity within the departmental title, Sociology and Social Work are subsumed under the generic term Social Language Arts Communication skills development is the common thread that weaves among and between English, Foreign Languages, Speech and humalism to create the Department of Language Arts English and Foreign Languages tome from the tormer Languages Department, Speech from Speech and Theatre and journalism from Mass Communications There are many interrelated skills involved in the various areas, and the opportunities (or more effective and creative use of faculty and other resources are abundant 12 i faculty) Chemistry, Physics and Geology The possibility for the develop- ment of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary programming related to the physical and environmental sciences exists in the combination of Biochemistry, Chemistry, Geology and Physics as a single administrative unit (8 faculty members) The School of the Creative and Performing Arts has been reorganized into three departments Art Photography has been moved from the Mass Communications Depart- ment to combine with drawing, painting sculpture, design, crafts and art educa- tion to form the Department of Art.

Music The Music Department shall remain as it has been with an emphasis on the development of professional caliber musicians through the vocal, in- strumental, theory and composition studies it offers. (16 faculty members) COLLEGE OF BUSINESS AND APPLIED SCIENCES The College of Business and Applied Sciences brings together the various career programs of the University in a college whose structure will allow of the gaining of American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business accreditation while homogeneously aligning other study areas whose goal is the preparation of skilled professionals for various areas of business and industry It will contain the following departments: Business Administration Management The various mapr tracks of personnel, marketing, finance, accounting, economics and management will be among the emphasis areas of this twenty (20) faculty department, which com- bines the former departments of Business Administration and Economics and Accounting An importand division within the department structure will be Computer and Information Systems Its placement in the department reflects not only its orientation but also the high service the area provides the business programs Business Education — Distributive Education and Office Administration This six (6) faculty member department remains as it was previously structured. Industrial Education and Technology with its Aviation Science track moves from the former College of Science and Technology with its nine (9) faculty members. Mathematics t I faculty) remains as it was, as does Military Science ih iac utty) Home Economics and its seven (7) faculty members move from the College of Education. Agriculture and Animal Sciences The name of the department has been changed to reflect the mission of the department and its work in the animal sciences UNIVERSITY REORGANIZATION It is anticipated that the title will also be indicative of the department ' s program development as it moves into the future. The seven (7) faculty member depart- ment was formerly in the College of Science and Technology. COLLEGE OF EDUCA TION AND BEHA VIORAL SCIENCES The University had its origins as a teacher preparatory school. The organiza- tion of the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences brings together the diverse resources and programs of the University which through their com- bined strengths and potentials can help the school regain the prominence it once had in the field of education. Within the college, the following depart- ments will be located: Psychology The departments of Psychology and Educational Psychology and the program in Guidance and Counseling are merged into a generic Psychology Department with nine (9) faculty members. Education This is a generic education department which combines the former Elementary and Secondary Education departments and expands into the field of higher education where opportunities exist for graduate program development. Student Personnel Services programming would be a part of the higher education track. This would be a sixteen (16) faculty department. Health, Physical Education and Recreation has had the Recrea- tion added to its title to reflect the current trends of opportunities and pro- gramming in this area. It is anticipated that the eleven (1 1) faculty department will move more in this direction while revitalizing its once highly enrolled curriculum. Special Education with its eight (8) faculty members would remain intact. COLLEGE OF NURSING The only change in the College of Nursing would be in the title of its graduate department, which would become the Department of Graduate Studies and Research to include not only its Master degree program but also the doctorate program that is currently in the planning approval process. The three departments in the college are: Associate Degree Program Baccalaureate Program Graduate Studies and Research COLLEGE OF BASIC STUDIES AND ASSOCIA TE PROGRAMS Among the most far-reaching and distinct changes in the University ' s reorganization are those made in the former College of Basic Studies and Academic Services. All of the academic support areas such as Admissions, Financial Aid, and High School Relations have been moved out of the college. The college will become an academic entity with very specific and important roles to play in the University. Its name indicates the two major classifications of its academic responsibilities. One has to do with the basic studies of all Univer- sity students including developmental education programs for those who need it. The other embraces all of the associate degree programs of the University and the development of a community college division within it. The Freshman Year is the most critical year for a University student. If it is a successful year, the student retention rate for the Sophomore Year improves. If it is not, the student attrition rate increases. One of the most important respon- sibilities of the college will be to coordinate all freshman studies and to work with the students and the other colleges to increase student success and reten- tion at the University. The college will have very few faculty of its own. These will be associated with specific areas such as ALOC (American Language Orientation Center) and the College Success Program, a positive name and approach for developmen- tal education. The faculty of the college will be the best faculty chosen from other colleges and departments to work under a dual appointment in their sub- ject area and Basic Studies. For example, a mathematics professor selected for working with the Basic Studies program would have the title of Dual Professor of Mathematics and Basic Studies. Through emphasis placed on the selection of teachers for such dual status and through the importance of their role on cam- pus, we hope that the dual appointment will be coveted. All associate degree programs of the University will be coordinated through the College of Basic Studies and Associate Programs with subject matter coor- dinators from the programs ' colleges and departments working under an ar- rangement similar to that described above. Also, emphasis will be placed on the development of a community college division which will be responsive to the associate degree programming needs of the area. The concept under which this college was organized was the strengthening of the entire University through the development of an effective way of deal- ing with the entering student and providing him her with the kind of educa- tional experience that will not only assure his her ability to continue at the University but also his her desire to. It attacks directly the second part of the University ' s enrollment problem: retention, by making the student ' s first educa- tional experience at the University as successful and fulfilling as possible. The programs in the College of Basic Studies and Associate Programs include American Language Orientation Center Basic Studies Community College Division College Success Program Early Admissions Special Studies Orientation (Academic Program of Study) Servicemen ' s Opportunity College IMPLEMENTATION The reorganization of Northwestern State University of Louisiana was developed on the premise that any reorganization of the University should first and foremost be educationally sound, viable and achieveable as well as fiscally responsible and prudent. The rationale and structure of the reorganization is future oriented and not solely reactive to present needs and circumstances. It is a plan to build upon, the foundation for the growth and development of the University, in quality as well as in numbers. Academically, it has created primarily a multidiscipiinary in- terdisciplinary departmental structure which makes it possible for the Universi- ty to address viable interrelationships of academic programs and disciplines. It is not a completed blueprint of a university. Rather, it is an organizational founda- tion upon which the University can cooperatively build its future. Joseph I. Orze January 1983 HEADLINES STAMEY ELECTED TO BOARD OF TRUSTEES lot- stamey of Natchitoches, president of the Student Government Association at Northwestern State University, has been elected as the state ' s student representative on the Board of Trustees for Louisiana Colleges and Universities. As one of the 18 voting members of the management board, Stamey will represent the students and SGA officials of the nine colleges and universities operating under the Board of Trustees system. The senior accounting major at NSU will began his one-year term on June 1, when he received full voting privileges and was appointed to committees of the Board of Trustees Stamey succeeds Cornell Martin, SGA president at Nicholls State University in Thibodeaux as the student representative on the board. Stamey was elected to the Board of Trustees during the May 15 meeting in Baton Rouge of the Council of Student Government Association Presidents for State Col- leges and Universities. He is the first SGA president from Northwestern to be elected to the position Recently chosen for a second term as SGA president at Northwestern, the new Board of Trustees member is a 1979 graduate of St. Mary ' s High School. He is the son of Mr and Mrs. Owen Stamey of Natchitoches. Stamey, who has maintained a 3.72 grade-point average, has also served the Northwestern SGA as a senator-at-large and president pro tern of the Student Senate in 1980-8 1 and as a freshman class senator in 1979-80. The NSU senior is a member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Phi Kappa Phi academic honor society and Phil Eta Sigma national honor society for sophomore men of high academic standing. He was Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority ' s Man of the Year in 1981-82 and served as president of the NSU Interfraternity Council in 1980-81. DEGREE IN PHOTOGRAPHY APPROVED BY BOARD Photography at NSU has recently received two major boosts through the renova- tion of the Photo Lab and the Board of Trustees approval for a bachelors degree in photography • ( cording to Nolan Bailey, Instructor of Photography, the curriculum is set up to train students in the methods and techniques of professional photography. Courses to be offered will involve instruction in such areas as black and white, portrait, film mak- ing, color, photojournalism, and color slide. To accommodate the expected increase in student use of the Laboratory facilities, the Photo Lab ' s large printing room has been divided into a printing darkroom and a print washing drying room. Bailey said this would allow a larger number of students to use the laboratory at the same time. Each student will also have more time individually, thus preparing their photos and slides more efficiently. Included in the Photo Lab renovation was the purchase of over $20,000 of photographic equipment for use in the basic classes. Students working in the lab will nave access to six new enlargers, a print washer and dryer, a water chiller for process- ing film, seven Olympus cameras and lenses, eight Vivitar flash units, and four Yashica Mat cameras. Bailey said plans are being made to add portrait and commercial studios, as well as prcx essmg areas for color and black-and-white film. He expects the program to attract many interested students from throughout the state. WILLIAMS TERMINATED AS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Head Football Coach and Athletic Direc- tor A. L Williams has announced that his contract will be terminated at the end of the 1982-83 fiscal year. Dr. Joseph J. Orze, Northwestern ' s president, stated the decision was made, because it was in the best interests of the university to resolve the athletic situation at this time but still allow A. L. time to relocate. Orze said he felt a change in NSU athletics, was necessary, but I also wanted to be fair to Coach Williams, and I will provide all of the support possible to assist him in having a successful season and in leaving Northwestern as a winner. Williams, whose contract will expire on July 1, 1983, has served as head coach at Northwestern for seven seasons, compil- ing a record of 32 victories and 41 losses. He has been athletic director for five years and served one season as an assistant. I feel we have made progress in foot- ball, Williams said. I am disappointed that some of the goals we had set were not reached. After the 8-3 season in 1980, we felt the football program had reached the point where we wanted it to be, but a lot of injuries last year set us back. Williams went on to say, I feel that the athletic program is in overall much better shape now than it was when I came here, but I don ' t have any bad feelings. I have had too many great relationships with athletes here to be bitter. Williams best year came in 1980, when the Demons won eight games, for only the third time in history, and were ranked eighth in the final 1-AA poll. The 1980 season was highlighted by a 13-10 victory over McNesse in Lake Charles, which snapped a two-year regular season winn- ing streak for the Cowboys. While at Northwestern, Williams has put several players in the professional ranks, these include Sidney Thornton of the Steelers, Petey Perot of the Eagles, and Joe Delaney of the Chiefs. Four others - Mark Duper, James Bennett, Carlton Finister, and Darrel Toussaint - will join pro teams this season. From the 1981 season Northwestern will return 15 starters, and Williams said he is optimistic that we will have a successful year. My objective is to have the best foot- ball team possible. IET GRANTED ACCREDITATION The accreditation board of the National Association of In- dustrial Technology has granted full accreditation for two years to the baccalaureate degree program in industrial technology at Northwestern. Northwestern is the first col- lege or university in Louisiana to have an industrial technology program at the associate, baccalaureate or masters level accredited by the professional organization. Dr. Charles Wommack, head of the Department of Industrial Education and Technology at NSU, said the National Associa- tion of Industrial Technology has recognized only 26 pro- grams in industrial technology nationwide as meeting its stan- dards for accreditation. Our department, which prepares undergraduate students for management posi- tion in industry, has been strengthened through the efforts of the faculty and administration during the year- long accreditation study to iensure that the department met the rigid standards of the lorganization, stated Wom- jmack. ! He added, The recognition given the industrial technology program by an outside organization was very en- couraging. Program direction provided by representatives of education and industry should have long-range benefits for ' Northwestern. Wommack was in San Fran- cisco when the association ' s I accreditation board reviewed [ Northwestern ' s application and onsite evaluation report. He was notified that the program has been granted full accreditation. Northwestern ' s Department )f Industrial Education and echnology applied for ac- :reditation in 1981, and in the pring of 1982 a three-member iccreditation team visited the vISU campus to conduct an valuation of the four-year )rogram. HEADLINES NSU PUBLISHES AWARD WINNING BOOK Andrew Durnford: A Black Sugar Planter in Antebellum Louisiana, published last year by the NSU Press, has been recognized as a 1981 Honor Book by the literary award committee of the Louisiana Library Association. The 138-page monograph by David O. Whitten, which brings the life of a free Negro planter and slaveholder to the attention of students of the antebellum South, was one of only seven publications on Louisiana subjects selected by the committee for special recognition. NSU Press director John M. Price said, We are very proud to have published this book. It is a good, solid monograph and a unique book about a unique subject. This publication is exceptional, because so few records remain of black planters. According to Price, there were 135 titles of books and pamphlets written about Louisiana or by Louisiana authors considered by the literary award committee. The seven Honor books were in addi- tion to the selection of C. C. Lockwood ' s Atchafalaya: America ' s Largest River Basin Swamp as the 1981 recipient of the Louisiana Literary Award. Andrew Durnford: A Black Sugar Planter in Antebellum Louisiana is the result of two decades of research into the life of a free black slaveholder by Whitten, a professor of history at Auburn University. John Hope Franklin, a noted black scholar who wrote the foreward and jacket information for the book, said, We do not have many examples of free black slaveholders whose records provide us with a picture of their conduct, attitudes, activities and their relations with their slaves as well as with others. In t he archives in Louisiana, David Whitten found such a person in Andrew Durnford. Franklin added, Durnford is unique in that there is sufficient material to provide an excellent pic- ture of his life as a planter, slaveholder and intimate friend of John McDonogh, a most im- portant fixture in Louisiana nistory at the time. These two men - one white, one black - were each other ' s confi- dent, reliable colleague and in- timate friend. There seemed to be no favor that one would not do for the other, ranging from errands, to extensive trips, to the lending of money. Franklin, of the National Humanities Center Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, underscored the importance of the book by stating, There are few known records that reveal a black-white relationship like that of Durnford and McDonogh. And there are vir- tually no records similar to those of Andrew Durnford. DEPARTMENT OF THEATER AND SPEECH RECEIVES AWARDS Vince Williams of Natchitoches was nominated for the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship, and Dr. Robert Black received the Amoco Award for outstanding play directing to highlight Nor- thwestern ' s participation at the Louisiana college Theatre Festival in Ruston. A senior theatre-speech major, Williams was one of 14 col- legiate actors and actresses from Louisiana who received nomina- tions for the $750 scholarship to be given to a student at the Region VI Festival Jan. 16-23 in Ft. Worth, Tex. The 12 regional scholarship winners will be in Washington, D.C., in the spring to participate in Evening of Scenes, which will highlight the National College Theatre Festival. Two student per- formers are awarded $2,500 scholarships at the National Festival. Williams was nominated for his portrayal of Cephus, the lead role in Home, a play by Samm-Art Williams which deals joyfully with the coming of age of a young black man from rural South Carolina. The play, which was NSU ' s entry in the Louisiana College Theatre Festival, was directed by Black, professor and head of the Theatre-Speech Department at Northwestern. Black was one of five college and university directors who received the Amoco Award for outstanding direction of a play. Also at the state festival in Ruston, Northwestern junior English major Susan Haga of Many had her one-act play, Rockefeller Square, selected for the regional competition in Ft. Worth. In addition to Black, NSU faculty members Michael Atkins, Ray Schexnider and Nan Stephenson also attended the five-day festival hosted by Louisiana Tech University. Schexnider was Northwestern ' s official representative at the Louisiana Division of the Arts meeting conducted during the state festival. The general thrust of the meeting was that we urged the formation of a professional theatre repertory company in Loui- siana, said Schexnider. HEADLINES SAGA LOSES BID SAGA food corporation, NSU ' s of- ficial food contractor, will be replaced by Professional Food Managers (PFM) effective September of 1982, according to Mike Bates, SAGA Food Service Director. SAGA, which had the contract at NSU since 1968, lost the contract on two previous occasions, and both times nave regained the contract for NSU the following spring, said Bales. We are concerned that there was so much difference in the bids, said Bales. He stated that PFM bid some $59,000 lower that SAGA. Bales estimated that the contract would go back to bid next summer. Bales accounted for the large dif- ference of money PFM underbid only speculatively. It may have been because they didn ' t have all the facts to bid on, Everytime we have lost the contract, we have come back to take it up again, and we hope to do it again, concluded Bales. ASHCRAFT AND FRAZIER STAR IN CARMEN Two artists who are among the most outstanding young singers in Louisiana will appear in principal roles during the April 29 and May 1 outdoor perfor- mances of Carmen at the Grand Ecore Amphitheatre in Natchitoches. Harold Ashcraft, a Northwestern senior vocal performance major from Natchitoches and winner of numerous competitions and festivals, will sing the role of Don lose, the Corporal of the Dragoons. Performing as Zuniga, Captain of the Dragoons, will be Dr. Larry Frazier, an associate professor of voice at NSU who has sung more than 100 leading roles in opera and oratorio throughout the United States. As an undergraduate student, Ashcraft has sung the roles of Rinuccio in the Shreveport Opera on Wheels production of Gianni Schicci in 1981 and Gastone in La Traviata, which was presented in Alexandria this spring by the Matinee Music Club and the Rapides Symphony. This will be Ashcraft ' s third major role in a production for the Natchitoches-Northwestern Symphony Society. In 1980 he appeared as Yamadori in Madame Butterfly and in 1981 had the role of Ike Skidmore in Oklahoma! A tenor soloist with the First United Methodist Church of Natchitoches, Ashcraft won a scholarship to attend last summer ' s Tanglewood Music Festival, where he studied with Phyllis Curtin and sang in the Tanglewood Festival Chorus. He has also placed three years in the Metropolitan Opera District Auditions in Shreveport. Frazier is a well-known bass singer who has successfully combined a pro- fessional singing career with teaching, specializing in vocal performance and music theatre. In 1982 Frazier made a guest appearance in Jackson, Miss., where he played Kezal, the marriage broker, in the Opera-South production of The Bartered Bride. He also sang on the Guest Artist Series at Centenary College in Shreveport. Frazier, who joined the NSU voice faculty in the fall of 1981, last fall, made his performance debut in 1970 in the Shreveport Symphony Repertory Opera production of The Merry Wives of Windsor. Since his debut, he has toured as leading bass with the National Opera in the roles of Figaro and Colline and has appeared with the San Antonio Sym- phony, the Midland-Odessa Symphony, the Johnson City Symphony, the Mississippi Opera, Opera Southeast and the Florida State Opera. Frazier ' s performance career includes one season with the National Opera Company based in Raleigh, N.C., and twice being a national finalist in com- petitions sponsored by the National Association of Teachers of Singing and the National Federation of Music Clubs. SGA EXECS RUN UNOPPOSED Apathy has hit a high point in the Student Government Association and the Union Board. Candidates for the offices of President, Vice-President, Com- missioner of Elections, and all the SUGB Senator-at-Large positions will be filled without an election because there is only one hopeful for the offices, said acting Commissioner of Elections, Steve Soileau. There is no reason to vote because . . . they ' ve got the positions , said Soileau. Soileau felt that the SGA turnout is poor because of a lack of interest. All candidates running unopposed in the March 17 elections automatically will serve in that position. SGA applicants are: President, Joe Stamey, Vice- President, Stacy Soileau, Commissioner of Elections, Harlan Harvey, Secretary, Allison Arthur and Helene Morgan, Treasurer Larry Hall and Christee Hyde. SGA Senator-at-Large hopefuls are Perry Anderson, Brunetta Anthony, Christie Ann Avant, Mary Bittick, Troy Davidson, David Deville, Eileen Haynes, Kim Kimble, Vera Marie LaCour, Kayla Murphy, Bob Pea rce, John Scott Repp, Laurie Weaver, Jack Welch, and John Williams. There ' s not going to be a SUGB election because there are only seven candidates and seven positions, said Soileau. New .SUGB Senators-at-Large are: Jon Robbins, Jeff Albrecht, Skippy Waters, David Nardini, Bubba Soileau, Janice Duggan, and Stephanie Samuels. ADOS and Warrington campuses in Shreveport will be allowed to vote for Secretary and Treasurer in the SGA election on March 17. - NSU GETS RED MEASLES SCARE HEADLINES State Health Department officials from across the state buzzed Northwestern, La, Tech, and LSU in an effort to halt a potential Red Measles epidemic that threatened NSU in the fall semester. As of press time, the problem has apparently died and the threat of spread of Red Measles is all but gone. A Baylor University girl, subjected to, and eventually contracting Red Measles had contact with most of the members of Phi Mu sorority at an October 1, 1982 Big Sis-Little Sis retreat just outside of Natchitoches. The girl, a former resident of Natchitoches, and now a student in Waco, Texas, was in town visiting friends at the time. When she returned to Baylor, she became sick with a case of Red Measles, and it was at this point that all the local attention came to light. State Health Department officials called people in Nat- chitoches and determined exactly who had been exposed to the girl. Twenty-six members of Phi Mu were asked to return home on October 11, 1982 because of their exposure. Several other NSU students, as well as one from La. Tech and LSU were also contacted by the Health Department and urged to get home. According to Dorsey Wilmarth, editor of Baylor ' s campus newspaper, THE LARIAT, an epidemic of Red Measles had been at Baylor since around September 18. The disease is believed to nave been brought to Baylor by a student who was a missionary in the Honduras this summer. When the news of the Baylor coed ' s illness reached the Health Department officials, they im- mediately reached the Phi Mu ' s and had members sign a list at their October 10 meeting, stating whether or not they were at the retreat and if they talked to the girl (the Baylor student) , accord- ing to Deanna Cray, an NSU Phi Mu. Deana added, The list went to the Natchitoches Health Unit who checked the student ' s records and those who had not received Measles inoculations were asked to ' not got to class - leave town until Monday, which was October 18. Some students who had received the Red Measles inoculation were still asked to leave campus, however. According to NSU Registrar, Dr. Austin Temple, The problem with this is that some students were inoculated bef ore their first birthdays. Three or four years later, doctors found that that shot was not effective when given to children under one year old. Temple said that there were four categories of Phi Mu ' s - those who had only been inoculated before their first birthday, those inoculated after their first birthdays, those who have not been in- oculted at all, and those who have previously had Red Measles. An LSU student had a date with the girl on the night after the Phi Mu retreat, and a Tech student, as well as several other NSU students, were around the couple most of the night. The LSU student, and the Tech student were determined not to be susceptible to the Red Measles and after initially being asked to leave the school, the LSU student was quickly reinstated. Since the first outbreak of measles at Baylor, 5,800 students out of an approximate total of 10,500 have been inoculated. Wilmarth said that inoculation units had been set at various points around campus to make incoulations more easily accessible. As of October 5, 1982 Dorsey said, there had been 26 confirmed cases of Red Measles, 28 suspected cases, and 21 probable cases. There were also a few cases reported in nearby community colleges and three cases in high school districts. There have been no cases reported by any other schools in the Southwest Con- ference, of which Baylor is a member, thus voiding speculation that exposure to the measles at foot- ball games would lead to other outbreaks. Wilmarth also said that the Baylor epidemic was appearing to be getting under control . The epidemic that caught Baylor by surprise, was virtually prevented here at NSU. According to Temple, Red Measles is pretty serious with young adults. Red Measles makes a person susceptible to other diseases like encephalitis. Jo Hargis, a nurse at the Nachitoches Health Unit said that Red Measles is contracted from a carrier during the incubation period, which lasts from seven to 14 days. The disease is not contracted from someone who already shows symptoms of the disease, high fever, rashes, and feeling quite sick, Nurse Hargis said. As of this writing, no NSU students have come down with Red Measles. The students who were asked to leave school all returned a full 18 days after their initial exposure to the disease. The girls were very cooperative, Dr. Temple said, and he added, We ' ve contacted all of their instructors and they won ' t miss any classes. NSU ENROLLMENT DROPS NSU had an enrollment of 6,481 students on the 14th day of class in the fall semester, ac- cording to Dr. Austin F. Tem- ple, Office of the Registrar. This is a decrease of 3.6% compared to fall 1981 semester ' s enrollment of 6,722. Of the 6,481 students 4,838 are undergraduate students and 1,643 are graduate students. Dr. Temple believes there are several reasons for the decrease in students. One of the reasons was in the fall of 1981 there was a higher enroll- ment among graduate students because of the Pips Program. This year there was a lot of undecisiveness among the State legislation as to whether or not Gov. Treen would pass the Pips bill. This caused several teachers to either postpone taking the PiPs classes or to take them in the summer. Due to this there was a slight in- crease among graduate students during the summer session.

Seventy-five years passed and this was the seventy-second volume of the POTPOURRI printed. On February 4, 1982, Northwestern ' s Publication Committee selected Ed Dupuis to serve as Editor-in-chief for the 1983 POTPOURRI. Ed then chose the spring staff of section editors. LeAnn Gray was chosen as Managing Editor, Janice Williams as Organiza- tion Editor, and Monica Bartee as Greek Editor. POTPOURRI received a fee increase in the Spring of 1982. This increase was desperately needed due to the rising cost of publication. Even with this increase the 1 983 staff was forced to cut back on the size of the POTPOURRI. The 1983 staff worked hard and long to make the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the POTPOURRI a very special one.

The Demons went into the game slightly favored and were almost upset, scoring the winning touchdown with only 59 seconds left on the clock to escape with a 24-20 win. NSU then had to wait out a last minute drive by the Choctaws which ended when the last second pass attempt by Tommy Nester was intercepted by Demon safety Michael Richardson to preserve the 24-20 win. The offensive and defensive players of the game for the Demons were sophomore running back LeRoy Ellis and senior defensive end David Grappe. Grappe was in on 14 tackles, caused a fumble, recovered a fumble, had two tackles behind the line of scrimmage, and had one pass break-up. Ellis had an all-around game as a rusher and a pass receiver. He had 30 yards running on six carries for an average of 5 yards with a touchdown run in the second quarter. Quarterback Stan Powell completed 20 of 38 passes dur- ing the game against Mississippi College for 259 yards and two scores. Powell had no interceptions during the game. NSU MISS.

Williams pointed to a lack of intensity and breakdowns on several key plays as the main reasons for the 26-17 loss suffered to Angelo State. Coach Williams also stated, We played very poorly on offense and on defense we played well with the exception of some, key, important third down plays. Demon Stan Powell hit 20 of 38 passes for 29 yards and tossed two scoring passes with no interceptions. The Demons gained 124 yards but lost 41 in sacks. Angelo State got a good performance from running backs Eddie O ' Brien and Ernest Pennington. O ' Brien gained 123 yards on 22 car- ries and scored two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiv- ing. Pennington had 16 attempts for 66 yards and rushed for three touchdowns. The Demon players of the week were defensive end David Grappe and tight end Jimmy Blackwell on offense. Grappe was credited by the NSU coaches with a grade of over 80 percent, 16 tackles, three behind the line, and two quarter- back sacks. Blackwell had his best game receiving as he hauled in six passes for 85 yards. Blackwell is the top Demon receiver after two games with 10 catches for 134 yards and one score. At a later date the Rams were forced to forfeit because of an ineligible player. The Demons now stand 4-1.

Athletics 179 NSU Northwestern ' s 28-14 win over Stephen F. Austin was the seventh straight win in the series for the Demons over the Lumberjacks. The seven-game winning streak by the Demons matched the longest in the series, as Northwestern also won seven straight from 1927 to 1934. It also marked the seventh win for Coach A. L. Williams over the Lumberjacks in his eight years at Northwestern. Head Coach A. L. Williams stated, I thought we played very good over the final 12 minutes and the kids really made the big plays when they had to. We still lack consistency on offense. I thought our defense front played very well for the second straight week. Quarterback Stan Powell hit 20 of 33 passes for 290 yards, had two touchdowns, and gained 51 yards rushing for a total offense of 341 yards. Powell averaged 209.3 yards per game in total offense. Victor Oatis had his game against the Lumberjacks with six catches for 144 yards and two touchdowns, in- cluding a 67-yarder from Powell in the second period. Oatis set the single season receiving record last year. Dale Quickel hit both of his field goal at- tempts in the game, connecting from 22 to and 41 yards. This gave him 21 career field goals trying the all-time career mark of Randy Walker set from 1970-78. Quickel held 10 NSU school records in kicking and kick scoring. The players of the week were end David Grappe on defense and tightend Jimmy Blackwell on offense. This was Grappe ' s 3rd week earning the defen- sive award and Blackwell ' s second week winning the offense award.

Williams stated after the game, We knew it would be a hard fought game and we were happy with the win. It is tough to keep to your offensive game play when your quarterback and top receiver are not in the game, but I give the kids a lot of credit for sticking in there and scoring as much as we needed to for the win. The players of the week were Sophomore noseguard Author Tank Berry and tailback LeRoy Ellis. Berry was selected for his play on defense. Ellis was selected on offense. Ellis scored two touchdowns, caught four passes and rushed for 76 yards. Wide receiver Victor Oatis had two receptions, one for a 52 yard score from Powell and the other a 70 yard strike from Leonard. Oatis has raised his average yards per catch to 25.7 after Satur- day night ' s win. For the season after four games Oatis had 13 catches for 335 yards and four touchdowns. Oatis had 15 career touchdown receptions. Tightend Jimmy Blackwell leads the team in number of recep- tions, 1 8 passes for 223 yards and two scores. The Demons had six interceptions Saturday night to set a Demon single game record. Michael Richardson had two of the six, giving him four on the season. End Karl Lane and defensive backs Tommy Rushing, David Hennigan and Spencer Mallett had the other thefts. Tailback LeRoy Ellis continues as the leading ground gainer for the Demons as he now has 268 yards on 76 carries.

We felt like we needed two touchdowns and a field goal to win, stated Williams. And I was happy with the play of Wayne and our offense. Wayne executed well enough for us to win. There were times when he did not do some things, but that ' s what we expected. He gave us an outstanding effort and will be a good quarterback. Wayne Van completed 14 of 22 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns, while throwing one interception. The scores came on a nine-yard pass to Jerry Wheeler and a 32-yard strike to Terry Joe Ramsey. After five games wide receiver Victor Oatis lead the team in receiving yardage while tightend Jimmy Blackwell had the most catches. Oatis had 18 catches for 405 yards and four touchdowns while Blackwell had 20 receptions for 250 yards and two scores.

Freshman Anthony Cheeks got his first carry of the season Saturday night and ended wity 20 yards on six attempts and caught one pass for 25 yards. With two field goals and two PATs, Dale Quickel is now sec- ond in scoring with 30 points. Quickel became the all-time field goal leader with his first kick against East Texas. Quickel now has 23 career field goals, breaking the old mark of 21 set by Randy Walker. Quickel hit six of 10 attempts this season, in- cluding five of his last six attempts. Roy Fontenot continued to lead the team in punt returns with an average of 14.6 yards on 11 returns, and in kickoff returns with an average of 18.2 yards per return. The Demons did not have any pass interceptions last week, leaving Michael Richard- son as the team leader with four in five games. Punter Leo Clement had his best night of the season at East Texas State, averaging 42 yards on five kicks. Clement is now averaging 39.32 yards on the season. The defense is lead by David Grappe, the senior defensive end with 45 tackles in five games, including 1 1 tackles of losses. Richardson is second on the team with 32 tackles and all- american Gary Reasons has 31 tackles. _ NSUvs McNeese State Cowboy Stadium Lake Charles, Louisiana October 9 9 1982 Northwestern State sophomore return specialist Roy Fontenot was among the national leaders in both punt and kickoff returns. In Saturday night ' s loss to McNeese State, Fontenot, playing in his hometown, had three punt returns for 33 yards, three kickoff returns for 102 yards, and four pass receptions for 84 yards. Fontenot was averaging 14.9 yards per punt return on 13 returns and had 9 kickoff returns for an average of 23.4 yards per return. In addition to that, his receiving totals stood at eight receptions for 137 yards. Wide receiver, Victor Oatis was still the team leader in receiving yardage with 424 yards on 20 catches. Tightend Jimmy Blackwell was the reception leader with 23 catches for 324 yards. The Demon rushing game was limited, held to minus yardage because of quarterbacks sacks. Tailback LeRoy Ellis was the rushing leader after 6 games with 356 on 105 attempts. Despite not scoring, LeRoy Ellis was still the scoring leader with 36 points. Dale Quickel increased his total to 33 points by making his only field goal attempt, after missing only his second PAT of the season in 14 at tempts. On defense the tackle leader continued to be end David Grappe. In six games Grappe had 52 tackles, including 15 behind the line of scrimmage.

Athletics 183 NSU vs Louisiana Tech Independence Stadium Shreveport, Louisiana October 23, 1982 It was a number of little things that led up to the big thing as Northwestern State saw its record fall to 5-3 on the season with the 33-0 loss to Louisiana Tech. The Demons were unable to capitalize on four Bulldog turnovers in the first half and trailed 14-0 at half-time, and then the roof fell in the third period after a Demon field goal was blocked. Northwestern missed a 32-yard field goal in the second period with the game scoreless, and soon after that Tech held a 14-0 advantage. It looked like the Demons might get back in the contest after recovering a Tech fumble at the Bulldog 17-yardline, early in the third period. But Dale Quickel ' s 42-yard three-point at- tempt was blocked and three plays later Tech pushed the margin to 21-0 and that set of plays took the wind out of the Demons. When the field goal was blocked you could really tell it took a lot out of us, said Demon Coach A. L. Williams. We just didn ' t take advantage of the opportunities we had earlier in the game. By the end of the first period we could have had 14 points, our defense was giving us the football, added Williams. But we could not make the big play or even the third and short situations. The Demons were hurt on one drive by a pro- cedure penalty as they lined up for the fourth and inches situation and NSU ended up punting the ball away. The Demons gained just 33 net yards on the night, failing to establish a running game of any sort. Then when we were forced to pass we didn ' t pick up the blitz and didn ' t give our quarterbacks time to throw. Williams used both junior Stan Powell and senior Bobby Hebert. Powell playing the first half and Hebert most of the second two periods. Neither Stan or Bobby were throwing well, stated Williams. We should have been able to move the ball, we had receivers open. But most of the time we hurt ourselves with mistakes and failure to execute. Powell completed half of his 26 passes for 113 yards, putting him over the 1,000 yard mark for the second straight year, only the second time that has been done by a Demon quarterback. Powell is currently fifth on the all-time list in pass comple- tions and passing yardage. Junior wide receiver Jerry Wheeler grabbed five passes for 80 yards. Wheeler also tried his hand at throwing the football, but one of his passes was incomplete and the other was tipped and then intercepted. The Tech contest was a busy one for the Demon punter Leo clement. Clement punted 10 times for an average of 41.2 yards per kick, with a best of 50 yards. After the safety late in the game Clement kicked off from the Demon 20-yardline and still sailed the kick into the endzone.

The 180 pound sophomore rushed for three touchdowns to increase his team-leading point total to 54 points. Stan Powell, who played most of the way at quarterback, now has 69 completions in 128 attempts for 945 yards and seven scores while throwing just two interceptions. In receiving Victor Oatis is the leader with 23 catches for 461 yards and five touchdowns. Jimmy Blackwell also has 23 catches, good for 324 yards and Jerry Wheeler has 20 recep- tions for 297 yards. Ellis is the leader in number of receptions with 24 for 218 yards. Senior punter Leo Clement added his name to the Demon record books with a 78-yard punt, breaking the old record of 75 set by Barry Rubin in 1977. Clement now has raised his punting average to 40.5 yards per kick. Return man Roy Fontenot is still the leader in punt and kickoff returns, averaging 12.1 yards on punt returns and 22.4 yards per kickoff return. Behind Ellis in scoring is placekicker Dale Quickel with 37 points. End David Grappe is the tackle leader with 56 stops, 16 behind the line of scrimmage.

NSU vs Rlcorn State Turpin Stadium Natchitoches, Louisiana October 16, 1982 Leroy Ellis runs for a gain. Several players improved their offensive statistics for Northwestern as the Demons defeated Nicholls State 38-6. Tailback LeRoy Ellis continues to lead the ground attack as he now has gained 453 yards on 142 carries. Tony Green had his best night of the season last week and now has 1 1 7 yards on 29 carries. Both Ellis and Green rushed for a score in the win. Ellis continues as the top Demon scorer as he had 60 points in nine games, rushing eight times for touchdowns and catching two scoring passes. Wide receiver Victor Oatis established himself as the top receiver with his record setting performance. Oatis totaled 198 yards on eight catches and had scoring receptions of 42 and 73 yards. Oatis now has 32 catches for 673 yards and seven touchdowns. Oatis is averaging over 21 yards per catch and needs just one more scoring reception to tie the school record in that category. Oatis is already the all-time receiving yardage leader. Quarterback Bobby Hebert got his second start of the season against Nicholls State and completed 10 of 15 passes for 195 yards and two scores. Hebert now has 531 yards passing in six games. Junior Stan Powell, playing only in the second half, also had suc- cess passing the ball, gaining 105 yards on six of eight passing. Powell now for the season has completed 88 of 162 passes for 1 163 yards and eight touchdowns. While Ellis still leads the team in scoring, the race for second place tightened up. Dale Quickel hit his only field goal attempt a nd all five PATs to raise his scoring total to 45, just one point ahead of Oatis who now has 44 points. Roy Fontenot continues to lead the team in punt returns with a 10.6 average on 21 returns, and in kickoff returns with an average of 18.7 yards on 16 returns. Punter Leo Clement is now averaging an even 40 yards on punts after nine games. NSUvs Nicholls State Turpin Stadium Natchitoches, Louisiana November 6 9 1982 Ellis reaches out for a hand off.

After scoring two first half touchdowns for a 17-3 lead at halftime, the Demon defense con- trolled the third period as the Demons increased the advantage to 31-3 with 12 minutes to go in the game. Hebert threw 1 1 yards to tightend Jimmy Blackwell for the score while the big play in the drive was a 41 -yard pass from Hebert to tailback LeRoy Ellis. Oatis, who had 198 yards receiving last week, tied the school record for career touchdowns with 17, and broke his own single season receiving mark of 687 yards that was set last season. For the night Oatis had four catches for 77 yards and is just one short of the season record for receptions. The win was the second straight for the Demons, who improved their record to 7-3 on the season, while Southeastern lost for the fourth straight week and falls to 4-6 for the season. It was also the fifth straight win at home for the Demons this season and the sixth straight since last season. vs Southeastern Turpin Stadium Natchitoches, Lfl November 13, 1982 NSU ' s Clarence Mitchell blocks a Southeastern player.

November 20, Demons show their teamwork. The second half rally came up just one point short for Northwestern State in the 28-27 loss at Northeast Louisiana, but Head Coach A. L. Williams probably said it best after the contest when he remarked, I have never been so proud of a football team as I am right now. Bobby Hebert passed for 341 yards in the game, and wide receiver Jerry Wheeler, who ended the night with 216 yards in receiving on 13 catches and scored twice. Even though Hebert threw three interceptions in the first half, Williams said his senior quarterback wasn ' t throwing badly. A couple of those in- terceptions would have been completions had Bobby not lofted the ball as much, said Williams. The Demons ended the season with a 7-4 record, and Demon fans can only think what might have been if Hebert had been healthy all season. In his final three games when he was completely healthy, Hebert completed 49 of 80 passes for 785 yards and eight touchdowns with four interceptions. While the Northeast game ended the career for Williams and 13 Demon seniors, there will be plenty of talent returning next fall. Only seven of the 22 starters in the final game will be missing. Williams, in his eight years as the Demon head coach, ended with a 39- 45 overall record, leading the Demons to winning seasons in two of the past three years.

Athletics 197 Northwestern State ' s baseball team ended the season with an 18- 26 record and while it wasn ' t what Coach Herbie Smith had hoped for, there were some bright spots at the end of the season. The Demons were 7-5 in the Trans America Con- ference Western Division and tied for first place with Hardin-Simmons and Northeast Louisiana. Hardin- Simmons won the conference title and the Demons defeated the Cowboys in three of four games against each other. We played well at the end of the season and I just wish we would have been in the tournament, said Smith after his team missed the league meet because of a coin flip. I think Hardin-Simmons showed that anything can happen in the tourna- ment if you get the chance, we just didn ' t get that chance. Leading the way for the Demons this season were five seniors and Smith and his staff will miss them all. They include pitchers Eric Barkley and Mike Davern, second baseman Doug Guelde, shortstop Chris Marshall and third baseman Gerry Larsen. Davern was a big reason the Demons posted the 7-5 league mark and he was 3-5 on the season with one save also. Marshall came on in the second half of the season and ended the year hitting .278. Larsen played his usual solid defense this season at third base and set a single season record with 12 sacrifice bunts during the course of the year. Barkley earned a 5-5 record on the mound this season with a 2.36 earned run average.

Athletics 199 SOFTBRLL ! Northwestern State ' s women ' s softball team ended its season with a fourth place finish in the AIAW Southwest regional tour- nament. The Lady Demons ended the season with a 17-10 overall record. In the SWAIAW regional, Northwestern opened with an 8-0 win over Texas Wesleyan. After that came a 2-1 loss to eventual champion Central State of Oklahoma, and a 5-3 loss to Angelo State, a team that lost in the cham- pionship finals. Head Coach James Smith, who guided the Lady Demons to their sec- ond straight winning season, couldn ' t help but think what might have been with a cou- ple more runs. We just waited too long to get started in the final game, noted Smith, who saw his team held hitless for five innings while falling behind 5-0. In the last two in- nings we started to come around, but it was too late. In the first loss to Central State, the Lady Demons were hurt by their own mistakes. We were right in that game but we made three mental mistakes and that cost us the game, pointed out Smith. Those little things mean a lot in a one-run game. Centerfielder Janet Guerrini ended the season as the Lady Demon top hitter with a .326 average. Guerrini also committed just two errors while playing in all 27 games in centerfield. Cindy Wigley was second on the team with a .300 average, followed by sec- ond baseman, Sherri Broocks with a .284 average. Karen Briggs, one of only two seniors on the team, compiled a 9-4 record with a 1.89 earned run average. Sydney For- rester was 8-6 with one save and led the team with a 1. 13 earned run average. Along with Briggs, third-baseman Helen LeFevre was the only senior on the 1982 Lady Demon Squad. ?00 Athletics NSU OPPONENT 7 LSU-A 5 LSU-A 1 4 Northeast La. 3 4 Northeast La. 2 McNeese La.

That just about sums up what visitors say after visiting Northwestern State ' s Harry Rags Turpin Stadium and the adjoining fieldhouse that sits just beyond the south end zone of the playing field. The 16,000- seat stadium was first used in 1975 as the replacement for Demon Stadium and bears the name of one of the state ' s most il- lustrious sports figures. Coach Turpin, who died in 1974 following a lengthy illness, served for 30 years on the Northwestern staff before retiring in 1956. Turpin served as an assistant Coach at NSU for eight years before taking over as head coach in 1934. He had the longest tenure of any head coach in the history of the university and led his 1939 team to a perfect 1 1-0 season, one of the only two unbeaten seasons in school history. The two-deck west side of the stadium features a glassed-in area between decks which is reserved for visiting dignitaries and members of the NSU Demon Booster Club. The side also features almost 5,000 comfortable chair-back seats and an ultramodern multi-level press box atop the second deck. The east side of the stadium is reserved for the student body and other group visitors, and between the sides is the only outdoor Astroturf field used by a col- legiate team in the state. 4 The NSU Fieldhouse and Harry Rags Turpin Stadium. The Training Room features two saunas, Jacusi Whirlpool and much more. Completed in 1979, the fieldhouse serves as the center of activity for NSU ' s athletic department. The fieldhouse contains athletic department and coaches offices, dressing rooms, training rooms and conference rooms. Special features of the facility in- clude two guest lodging rooms, lounge and large meeting areas, visiting locker rooms and locker rooms for NSU ' s spring sport teams. A separate wing includes an elaborate training room, weight rooms, ready rooms, equipment rooms, a laundry room and other storage areas.

Big Cold Tournament Northsestern State ' s men ' s tennis team continued its im- pressive showing when the Demons captured first place in the Big Gold Tennis Tournament at Southern Mississippi University. The Demons won the event, the most prestigious college tournament in the South, with a total of 79 points, winning three singles titles and one doubles championship over twenty-one other teams. Nelson Aerts won the No. 1 singles title and Jorge Salkeld won the No. 3 singles title. The other singles championship for the Demons was Donny Loro at No. 5. In No. 1 doubles Aerts and Salkeld won their first match and the No. 3 doubles team of Lytt Allen and Molina lost in the second round. Southern Rrki Tournament In the Southern Arkansas Tournament NSU won its second tournament within two weeks. We have played better ten- nis, admitted Emmons. But it was our depth that paid off. Alfredo Trullenque won the No. 4 singles title by winning four straight matches. At No. 5 singles Donny Loro improved his record by claiming the championship and Hugo Molina won at No. 6 singles. In doubles the team of Trullenque and Love placed second and Molina and Lytt Allen teamed to take the No. 3 doubles. No. 1 player Nelson Aerts lost in the semi- finals to the eventual champion but bounced back to claim third place in the bracket. Allen played in the No. 2 singles placing fourth. At No. 3 singles Jorge Salkeld reached the finals but lost to a close decision. THHC Jorge Salkeld and Nelson Aerts were named to the Trans America Athletic Conference all-conference tennis team. I think both players are very deserving of the honor, said NSU tennis coach Jonnie Emmonds. Salkeld had a 26-4 record in the Spring and won the No. 3 singles title at the TAAC tour- nament. Aerts played the No. 1 singles position for Northwestern this season and ended with a record of 24-7 and placed second in the No. 1 singles at the conference tournament. National Independent Tennis Tournament For several years, the idea of a National Independent Ten- nis Tournament has been pushed around among several col- leges. Finally, with the help of Northeast State University and sponsors from the Monroe area, the NITT became a reality. The NITT was designed to give some of the smaller con- ferences and smallname schools a chance for some national recognition. With the aide of a selection committee compos- ed of several coaches, the NITT purpose was to choose the next best 16 teams in the country. NSU ' s team was picked as one of these 16 teams. After four hard days of tennis, the 13 teams participating were ranked in their respective positions leaving Tulsa University the winner followed by Cal-State in second. Northwestern finished in 9th place ahead of the hosting team Northeast who finished 13th. Before NSU left the tournament, the team was involved with final examina- tions leaving them little practice time. This lack of preparation tended to show up heavily during their first match against the University of Nevada at Las Vegas as they lost by a score of 6-3. In the second round of consolation NSU played Virginia Tech, the Metro Seven Conference Champions. With a strong showing in singles, NSU took five of the six singles which automatically won the match for them. The final outcome was 5-4 in favor of NSU. NSU next played the University of San Francisco for the 9 and 10 positions. After singles play, the 2 teams were all even at 3 matches a piece. But with a big effort from doubles, NSU pulled out the match by winn- ing all three doubles, thus winning 6-3. This was probably NSU ' s toughest match of the season, which also ended as being their biggest win. This win left NSU in 9th place out of 13 of the toughest teams in the nation. This tournament definitely proved that the NSU tennis program is capable of playing with, and beating some of the big name teams in the nation.

NSU RIFLE TERM While being a little bit old and a little bit new, the Northwestern State rifle team in 1982 has continued to be one thing — very good. For the first time, the Northwestern State rifle team, long a competitive sport at NSU, is con- sidered as an NCAA sport. Being an NCAA team will help us gain recogni- tion as a team and for the individual shooters, commented Lomax. Many schools have joined the NCAA with their rifle teams and it can only help the recognition you can receive. While being an NCAA sport is a big change for the squad, it has not changed the squad ' s winning ways of previous years as the Demon shooters have taken victories in most of their mat- ches this fall. The Northwestern team also competed this fall in the Sam Houston Rodeo Invitational. With 3,800 points, the Demon rifle team placed sixth out of eleven teams. Coaching the rifle team is Captain Kent Lomax and assistant Coach Sergeant Roland Belanger, both of the Nor- thwestern ROTC department.

The NSU Intramural Program offers recreational activities for all students, faculty, and staff, and involves a wide variety of activities. The main ob- jective of intramurals is not competition, but the enjoyment of participation. The Intramural Program is not operated on the basis of individual ad- ministrative decisions, but is governed with the advice and counsel of the participants.

We room in Cell No. 4, north dormitory, in the Convent Building. The dormitory is in what would be the attic of an ordinary house under the roof as it slopes down to the eaves. The Convent is so large that there is room in this loft space for an aisle, with a row of six tiny rooms or cells on each side. They are about ten feet square and each is furnished with a double bed, two chairs, and a long shelf. There is a small unfinished space back of every cell, containing a washstand. a place for trunks, and some nails for hangers. It doesn ' t seem very homey ' ' up here, but the old girls say it is lots better than the big eight-girl rooms on the second floor The cells are really little pens, as the walls are only about eight feet high, with the great space open above them all. May 7th — Some of us girls were talking in Mary ' s room tonight while the others were down at society. Edith began to tell about the Normal nun who roams about at night, and Lizzie got hysterical. Pshaw 1 ' ' said Edith, she won ' t hurt anybody Lots of girls have seen her — generally on Saturday night. I got a glimpse of her black habit near Mr. Boyd ' s office when I went down to Mrs. Donoho for toothache medicine the other night. She looks awful sad and just moans and moans. Edith ' s tone was sepulchral. The window rattled just as she uttered the last word and we all jumped. Lizzie cowered down by Mary and covered up her head. She had a lover over in France, continued Edith, and he was guillotined before her very eyes She carries his head about with her try- ing to find the body, which was cast into the Danube. ' Miss Laura ought to hear that, Edie. She ' d give you such a fine mark in Geography that Never mind; it may have been the Rhine in southern France. Anyway, when she finds it The blind opened slowly, and there stood a nun moaning piteously. She had a round ob- ject in her hands and as she rasied it I caught a fleeting glimpse of a red sleeve under her habit. Mon ami! Mon ami! She sobbed. We gazed a mo- ment, and all ran screaming out of the room. Lizzie ' s eyes bulged out as if on stalks. As she turned she gave a blood-curdling whoop that would have put a Reprinted From 1912 Potpourri Comanche brave to shame. Her foot caught in her skirt and she fell in a terrified heap. There was a stir on the stairs. Mrs. Donoho, girls — run! came a warning voice. Everybody got away but Lizzie, and she had to crawl to cover under Mary ' s bed. The space is small and Liz- zie is not — she stuck and almost fainted. Mrs. Donoho came in, found no one, and started out, when Lizzie coughed chokingly. Oh, I ' m dying! Please. Mrs. Donoho. help me out! I ' m smothering! My hair is caught on this spring, and I ' m wedged in here so tight I can ' t move. I ' m nearly dead. After considerable effort, Lizzie came out and so did the whole story. None of us will go to society next Saturday — we are under ar- rest. It ' s hard luck for all, but worst for the nun, as she has a special engagement with the one who, like the French lover, has complete ly lost his head. ■ v wB aS - .

MY CHEWING GCIM STORY Since we didn ' t have school Saturday after- noon, the girls at my table in the dining hall, decided to go to town. We were going to leave at two o ' clock. We rushed to our dormitory to get ready to go. About five minutes later I heard a knock at my door. Two sisters who lived across the hall from me, rushed in and said that they couldn ' t go to town for their money was gone. I offered to share the money I had, but they told me Miss Varnado, our Dean, had called a meeting of the girls in our dormitory. When Miss Dean had finished, a maid, who was taking in everything Miss Dean was saying, asked if she could say something. Miss Dean gave her per- mission, and this is what she said: Miss Dean and girls, I have been working at this college for nigh on 29 years, and I ain ' t never tuk nothing that didn ' t belong to me. Then she thought for a minute. Sometimes I goes into the girls rooms to clean up. I seez little pieces of chewing gum sticking to the cold cream jars.

From savagery up through all the stages of civilization, tribes have passed on through the generations tradition and folk-lore that will continue to live so long as the world stands. No matter how ignorant or how well educated a people may be there still lingers the thrill of the romance as it is related around the campfire or the hearth. But the students of Louisiana State Nor- mal College at Natchitoches have a tradi- tion all their own as old as the college itself. Perhpas it may be said to be older than the college, for it really had its origin nearly a half century ago when in place of the stately and massive buildings that dot the beautiful campus of the college now, there stood an old plantation home of the pre-war type with four large columns at the front, which had been remodeled into a convent, and when instead of the old Pine Hills that border the campus on either side echoing back the happy voices of over a thousand of Louisiana ' s girls, there was heard only the low murmuring sound of the black-garbed nuns as they went up and down the old river drive saying their beads. Every coed at the Normal knows the story only too well; she is told the story at a time in her stay at the college when it becomes deeply rooted never to be erased from her memory. Usually during her first week at the college when her little heart is nearly breaking from the pangs of homesickness, she is awakened in the dead hours of the night by a light weird tap, tap on her door and almost instantly a figure clothed in white enters and an- nounces these blood curdling words that have sent the face white and the heart pounding of all Normal Coeds. 1 am the ghost of East Hall. The story goes that a beautiful girl, daughter of one of Louisiana ' s proudest families, fell deeply in love with a young man from the east who had been sent to Louisiana to investigate the lumber in dustry of the state for his father who had invested some capital. The two young peo- ple became engaged; but the father of the young man, thinking his son was too young and unsettled, sent him abroad to forget his love affair in the South. Several letters were exchanged secretly, and finally the young man became frantic and slipped aboard a steamer at Paris as a stowaway. The boat was wrecked on its voyage to America, but the young man was miraculously cast with ten others of the crew upon an island. Days, weeks and months passed before the little band of un- fortunates were able to flag a steamer. All this time the boy ' s sweetheart was waiting impatiently for word from him. Finally, she gave up in despair, and think- ing that he had been untrue to her, took the veil of the Catholic nun, and was sent to the convent at old Natchitoches. In the meantime her lover returned and hastened to her home in Louisiana only to find her pledged to live life unwedded. Determined to get a glimpse of her once more, he journeyed to Natchitoches and met her on the little road that extends from the old convent site to the river. He pledged his vows anew, at the same time knowing that they were in vain. The strain was too much for the nun. Slipping quietly from her associates, she crept to the attic of the old building and took her life. As she removed the dagger from her heart, the gush of blood that followed stained her hand, which as she swooned, left the bloody imprint of her fingers on the wall of East Hall. So lives the tradition of the Louisiana State Normal College. And unsuspecting freshmen of the future will not miss the thrill of the visit of the Ghost of East Hall. — reprinted from POTPOURRI. 1929. r students to be public school teachers. Before that, it had been a convent utilizing the old Bullard plantation mansion with its four tall, massive white columns. The columns quickly became a thematic symbol for the yearbook editors. Early in this century one of the columns was destroyed. The other three remain today and help the editors to carry on the institution ' s traditions. In the intervening years the school ' s names, as designated by the legislature, have been Loui- siana State Normal School and Northwestern State College. Through the years, the POTPOURRI was edited by campus leaders who went on to suc- cessful careers in fields such as education, law POTPOURRI BANQUET SEPTEMBER 24, 1982 Elmira Montgomery of Kaplan, La., editor of the 1915 volume of the POTPOURRI, was to be the oldest former editor at the homecoming ban- quet. But we learned by phone the day of the event that she had been taken to the hospital. The oldest POTPOURRI editor attending the banquet was Ruth Vernon Pierce of Kentwood, La., who headed the staff of the 1923 edition. Cora Carr and her staff began work on the school ' s first yearbook in the Fall, 1908. The homecoming banquet in the Fall, 1982 celebrated 75 years of publishing the annual, culminating with the 1983 volume then under preparation. Northwestern was established by the state legislature in 1884 as a normal school, to train and business. One editor later served as a state J legislator, lieutenant governor, and state [ superintendent of education. The intensive search for the former editors I consumed the summer months and continued until the day of the banquet. Two nights before, we learned that one of the editors whom we had I been told reliably was deceased, was in fact J alive and well in Denver! But we had confirmed the whereabouts of 66 I (including the deceased) of the 70 editors. In our efforts to locate the editors, we used a i letter to the editor to all the state ' s daily 1 newspapers, explaining briefly our plans and 1 listing those former editors we had been unable i to locate. Most, if not all, of the newspapers must have published the letter, because we had a tremendous response and located many of the editors as a result. The celebration banquet was attended by about 130 persons, including 31 of the yearbook editors and many of their friends. During the evening ' s program the former editors and guests browsed delightedly through all the 71 volumes of the POTPOURRI, begin- ning with the 1909 edition. In our research, we learned that the yearbook was not published in 1918 and 1944 because of the two world wars. Also, it was not published in 1920, and we assume there was difficulty 1n reviving the annual. Ezra Adams, Adviser POTPOURRI 1 FORMER POTPOURRI EDITORS — Mrs. Ruth V. Pierce — 1923, Mrs. Emel M.

M FORMER EDITORS RECALL THEIR YEARS AS EDITOR i H I S [ T E F S F I F T  Yearbook Editor ... a job, an experience, memories of a lifetime. It would seem to me that I edited ten year- books, or at least that I was associated with Northwestern Publications for a long, long time. My memories of work on publishing yearbooks might best be related in a number of excerpts from memories of my good life at Northwestern from 1955 to 1958, 1960 to 1961. In those days copy was strictly edited, or so it seemed, and one of my most memorable characters is Doc Marx, yearbook sponsor (ad- viser) during my time. The first words of advice I seem to remember were, Be sure not to do a Gerald Tilleaux ... he filled space (quite in- nocently, I ' m sure), with a full-page spread of Mamie Van Doren . . . much to the dismay of President Kyser, Doc Marx, and, as it was told, all other true Demons, (this I rather doubt). In those days things were cheap . . . the Triangle Restaurant served the best ham sand- wiches around, and a yearbook editor ' s salary of some $50.00 a month could treat two, on a regular basis, to curb service at the Triangle . . . a sandwich, a stuffed potato and a drink . . . and all in the comfort of a good roommate ' s car.

AR No one can describe the experience without having lived through it, i.e., being Editor of the Potpourri, especially the first time you sit down behind the Editor ' s desk. My recollection is that it was more frightening than exciting. I was plain scared. Many frustrations are involved in reaching decisions as to copy, layout, and personnel, but at the outset we accepted the higher of two bids for the photographic work. Curtis Guillet of Guillet Studios, was given the job over the slightly lower bid of the inexperienced Joe Ghrbach. It nearly got us all, including the President of the College, into Court. That episode failed to ingratiate us in the eyes of the faculty, but we plowed on, full steam ahead. The steam real- ly erupted when one of our Calendar Girls on the Snapshot Section, Marilyn Barnette, showed her folks our picture of her as a June Bride leaning over to fix her garter. It was already locked in the galleys and ready to roll. The steam and the roll got together, and the Shreveport Engraving Company Staff Artist solved the crisis by putting more cloth on her dress with an airbrush. Several years, like thirty-one, have passed since we did our book. As I look back, only one change would I make. Cinder every photograph, no matter how fuzzy, mediocre, or brilliant, I would put the first name, last name, nickname, and middle initial of every soul in that picture, just for the record and to help flagging memories.

Anyone who has edited a year- book probably still cringes at the word deadline. I must say, however, that the days just before deadlines were some of my favorites. Those were the days when I really saw the staff pull together, and those were the days when I could sit back and murmur trite expressions about the spirit of cooperation. We would start working at about 1:00 pm, and though each time we were sure that we hadn ' t waited until the last minute to attend to details, the unexpected would arise, and at 4:00 am we would still be work- ing diligently. During those hours, I would see each staff member go through the stages of seriousness, panic, relief, and delirium. The final one was the most fun because it came when everything was over. We would feel sorry for ourselves for being the most hard- working, unappreciated group on campus, and then we would laugh and admit that we wouldn ' t give it up for the world. You know, to this day I still believe it — I ' ve never had so much fun being so miserable. — Kristy Towry. 1981 Editor it did we see 9 did we listen ' I In Student! Speak ...

This past year brought a whole new light to NSU night life. Johnny Antoon opened the Stu- dent Body and for the first time in years going out was actually nice. Northwestern students and their guests were welcome with the stipulation that a student was responsible for the behavior of his own guest. Unlike other places the Student Body required proper attire. No old faded jeans or tee-shirts and no caps were allowed. Different? Definitely! Students had fun and in a very relaxed atmosphere.

It was a twenty four hour job and one that was never ending. Lillie Soileau, Housemother in Varnado revealed some of her thoughts about the job. I love it, she said. I get tired sometimes but there is never a dull moment. She said it wasn ' t a hard job, just one that wore her down. She faced, as did ever other house direc- tor on campus, a great variety of problems. Everything from false fire alarms to students with personal problems occupied their days. Many times these very valuable people went unnoticed. It was certainly not because they didn ' t deserve recognition.

The College of Nursing at North- western State University was anxiously awaiting the completion of the new Nursing Education Center, located one block from the Warrington Campus in Shreveport. The 6.4 million dollar structure will provide the College of Nursing with the convenience of relocating the 3 degree programs at one site. With a completion date in 1985, the 88,000 square feet struc- ture will consist of a new building with 70,000 square feet of space, and the renovated Line Avenue School building providing 18,000 square feet of space. The Line Avenue School was entered in the National Register of Historic Places in June, 1981. The two buildings will be joined by an enclosed walkway on the second floor level. The Center is designed to make available a wide variety of teaching- learning areas. The iron framework of a wing of the new Nursing Education Center takes shape.

NSU SCHOOL OF NURSING The Northwestern State University Nursing facility at Warrington place in Shreveport is presently the main teaching facility for the College of Nursing. The Baccalaureate Program in Nurs- ing was established at NSU in 1949. The degree was earned by completing the freshman and sophomore years of study at the Natchitoches campus and the junior and senior years at Warr- ington campus in Shreveport. The clinical atmosphere of study at Warr- ington provided students with the op- portunity to experience classroom situations as well as dealing with patients. In 1972, the associate degree pro- gram in Nursing was begun at NSU. The establishment of the program was brought about by the increasing de- mand for qualified and well-trained registered nurse practitioners.

In the offices on the sec- ond floor of Keyser Hall, students work frantically to get the job done. This year was no exception. Long before the actual work begins, plans are laid out for the book and important decisions concerning size, coverage, and other such matters must be made. That was my job. I think I planned this book quite well. However, we all know that sometimes even the best made plans must be changed. Because of a smaller budget than anticipated, my plans had to change. Cuts were made in the number of pages to be includ- ed in this edition and as a result, everyone ' s coverage had to be reduced. That ' s one of the toughest decisions I ' ve had to make, but it had to be done. You see, at Northwestern (at least as long as I ' ve been here) people have come to expect certain things out of the yearbook, and when changes are made, they aren ' t taken very well. Be that as it may, it had to be done. I must apologize to all of you who feel as though you have been treated unfairly, but especially to the students and faculty of our satellite campuses at Fort Polk, England Air Force Base, and Shreveport. Planning the yearbook was the easy part. Executing the plans proved to be quite challenging. I have become quite annoyed with photographers since I began this edition of the yearbook because I have had four different head photographers who have lost innumerable rolls of film. Problems with use of the darkroom in Kyser and the fact that the photographers never seemed to meet their deadlines only tended to increase my anger. The budget. I cringe at the sound of those two words. The fee increase was supposed to give us a larger budget so that we could continue with the same number of pages as last year. However, none of us expected the $10,000 rise in the cost for publication of the book. Along with increases in the cost of everything else, we were forced to reduce the size of the book to save money. A decrease in enrollment sure didn ' t help our situation either. I do want to thank all of the students who made our fee in- crease in the spring of 1982 possible. Without it, you might be reading a magazine instead. I also want to thank all of those who were a part of our special Anniversary Homecoming Banquet. It is an event that I will long remember. I hope all of our former editors will enjoy the special section included in this edition. One group of people deserve a special thanks. They are the staff of the 1983 POTPOURRI. I only conceived the book, they constructed it. To one of the most dedicated and hard-working groups on campus, my very special thanks! An extra special thanks goes to my adviser, Ezra Adams, a man for whom I have an unlimited amount of respect. Without his help, guidance, and patience, I don ' t think I would have made it. I can ' t thank him enough. And last, but by no means least, I want to thank my parents, Rhena and Ed, and the rest of my family for all of the support, love and guidance throughout this ordeal. Hove you all! When everything is taken into consideration, I think this is a damn good book. Sure it could be better, but then can ' t everything? There are those of you who will argue, but I stick by my statement and this book.
