I J (o2 3 1 Pride is the state or quality of being proud, having self-respect or a feeling of self-esteem arising from one’s accomplishments. It is also a feeling of gratification arising from asso- ciation with something that is good or laudable. In a literary sense, pride is splendor, magnificence or pomp. While the definitions are from the Random House dictionary, all fit the description of Southeastern, as the university completed its 80th year of existence. Southeastern had much to be proud of during the 1988-89 school term. The Student Senate breathed new life into the falter- ing Springfest. The group also instituted Hokey Days for fall. Greek organizations reorganized and revitalized the fading glory of “Being Greek.” A new concept for Rush brought record numbers of pledges. Clubs and organizations reached out to all students to put pride back into belonging to a professional or so- cial organization. The campus newspaper, The Southeastern, worked to make the newspaper truly the voice of the campus. KHIB 92, the campus radio station added promoti- ons and news to their broadcasting to take the message of Pride in Southeastern to their audience.

The Pride Is Showing Ir The Faces Of The People Southeastern’s school year began with a feeling that good things would happen. Athletic teams were picked to have record seasons. Greeks and other organizations were predicted to gain in membership. Academics were to get better with the additions o new equipment and more faculty members. The campus underwent a badly needed facelift Benches, lamps and sidewalks were installed wit! gardens and shrubs carefully planted. Southeastern began to show that Savage Pride. SAVAGE DEBATERS snap pictures of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, the Democratic governor of Massachusetts, during a campaign stop at East Texas State University in Commerce. Dukakis is speaking to several thousand young people from area colleges, universities and secondary schools from Oklahoma and Texas.
