University changes to keep pace with seventies With all the changes that have come to SEMSU in the decade of the 70s, one has to wonder how university alumni even recognize their alma mater. Even the name SEMSU is an acronym of re- cent origin. Prior to 1977 this universi- ty was known to all as simply SEMO. Although it was decided to be changed to SEMSU, many students, faculty members, and alumni still refer to it as SEMO. But the changes came almost from the beginning of the decade. In 1972, just prior to celebrating its Centennial, Southeast Missouri State College be- came Southeast Missouri State Univer- sity, and In 1973, the university cele- brated its lOOth year as an institution of higher learning. By 1976, the university had been di- vided into six colleges and the curricu- lum began to expand rapidly. Many new majors were instituted, among them communications, early child- hood, and criminal justice. The com- munications major was enhanced by the opening of KRCU, the campus radio station in the spring of 1976. Another major change came about in 1975 when Dr. Robert E. Leestamper came to SEMSU from Massachusetts to take over duties as university presi- dent. Former President Mark F. Scully had held the position for almost 20 years.
