Southeast Missouri State University - Sagamore Yearbook (Cape Girardeau, MO)

Editor's note The 1977 Sagamore is a newsmagazine. This issue is an attempt to reconstruct and preserve, with both journalistic and historical perspectives, at least a part of the events that occurred at Southeast Missouri State University from August 1976 to March 1977. Our basic intention from beginning to end is simply to report. Our coverage focuses on the reorganization of SEMO campus as is depicted in our cover title, The Name of the Game was Change. In the midst of the confusion of office relocations and policy changes, we have found it helps to maintain a sense of humor. This explains our game-like approach to the division pages. The Sagamore format has itself been reorganized on the basis of three major areas of interest: Progress, People, and Participation. The traditional sections of Sports and Academics are combined to constitute Progress because those are the two areas with the most visible changes. Classes make up the People section, and Organizations and Greeks are grouped under participation. The Student Life section has been left intact but offers new feature subjects. Because of those ever-menacing deadlines, the 32 full color pages in the Student Life section are current up to December '76. Spot color in Sports and Greeks had to be completed by january '77. Five deadlines were met between December and March to produce the Sagamore by May. The 1977 issue has been an entertaining and challenging project for us, and we'll be pleased to take our chances on the outcome. 7 , j X ,gas Sa..

May, 1977 PROGRESS MW we can make the change Through the enactment of Title IX, the women's athletic program has been given an opportunity for growth and development. The extent of the progress, however, will depend on Dr. john Schneiders' interpretation of the law and the action he takes in developing the program. nage 68 orking together Academic Reorganization Academic reorganization came about after a long period of consideration. The university was divided into six colleges and one school. Perhaps the greatest advantage of this decentralization will be increased efficiency in curriculum programming. page 122 PEOPLE Overpopulation With more than 8,000 students enrolled in '76, the most noticeable effects were dorm overcrowding and parking problems. More housing facilities, more parking lots and more classrooms were not necessarily the answers. page 184 PARTICIPATION N -1 . ' 1, -I ' x . . . I ' I.

This year the role of organizations changed drastically with the reorganization of the former Student Senate into a new governing body, the Student Government Association. This structural change gave fiscal power to SGA as well, and additional funding was granted to student groups. page 302 ig.
