The fair encouraged students to get in- volved in campus activities and experience excellence at SFA. Dr. William E. Porter, dean of student development, said, We were very pleased with success of the Organizational Fair. It ' s grown every year in organization participation and in student turnout. It is the best place for new and returning stu- dents to find out about campus activities and organizations and how to get involved in SFA. £ Lee Blankenship Organizational Fair

McCarty speaks to new freshmen For many, the first glimpse of excellence at SFA is seen during freshman orientation while listening to Coach Steve McCarty. In his speech, McCarty captures his audience with humor, and holds their attention through clever anecdotes to convey an inspirational message. McCarty gives his formula to obtain The Winning Edge: excellence that requires desire, determination and dedication. With desire, McCarty explains you must have a purpose. The most important factor in our lives is that we must all have a goal in life, a purpose for living and a burning desire to obtain these goals, McCarty says. McCarty adds, an individual must have the drive and ambition to push himself to reach those goals. This drive involves deter- mination. Dedication is the third key to obtaining The Win ning Edge. McCarty explains to be dedicated you must believe in yourself and others around you. A group that believes in each other will be a group hard to deal with, McCarty says. Through these three factors -- desire, de- termination and dedication -- success can be achieved. And success is extra-ordinary, as are our students and our campus. McCarty encourages everyone to get in- volved. Get involved with Lumberjack Spirit. We need you in the stands and at the pep rallies. Get involved, get involved, GET INVOLVED! McCarty closes with one last thought. Your degree from Stephen F. Austin will be a dream come true. And remember, dreams come true when dreamers come through!
