Look around you every day. Watch the old and the new torn down, rebuilt, restored. Physical, mental, emotional elements combine into a mosaic path we call our lives, pressed into place by experience. Look around you every day. The past unfolds as you dig up the bones of history. Learn, apply, build more into your life, guided all the time by measures of wisdom. Look around you every day. Discover the tools of your trade. Evaluate, question, judge and decide what stones will help you build your life. Look around you every day. Recognize your innocence and child-like curiosity, accepting limitations that come with every step. Expand the horizons of mind and soul and with attributes construct your whole being, block by block. Look around you every day. Avoid life’s distortion of individuality. Roles are only for actors to play. Set your stage with unique talents, desires and achievements, and not with carbon copies. Look around you every day. Be aware of forced reflections. Keep apart from lines of sameness. Reinforce your path with bursts of laughter to open the door to happiness. Look around you every day. Life cannot be frozen into a solid matrix of archaic dreams, promises or goals. Melt it into raw ideas to flow and coalesce. Build your existence like fresh icicles build themselves at dawn, drop by drop. And use these words as your building blocks. Student Life Build carefully for each piece is a part of the whole no matter how small. School Daze The best thing about registration is that moment when, class cards and ID in hand, you can walk out of HPE gym. Of course you may have a few of those endless forms left, or you may be signed up for three classes at 10:00 MWF, but everyone is entitled to a few mistakes. Registration week isn’t all long lines and confusion, though. It’s also a time for that last fling before classes begin. It’s a chance to get settled in a new home and meet new friends, or catch up with old ones. 12 Student Life Awareness week, sponsored yearly by Student Congress, is designed to help ease the adjustment period. Student Congress members are avialable to help with questions and problems. This year several events were planned to acquaint new students to SRSU, including a meal on the mall and a dance. The dance featured country- western star Johnny Bush, who returned to play at Sul Ross after an absence of several years. The faculty was also welcomed to the university by the Sul Ross Women’s Organization, who sponsored a Newcomer’s Picnic. The week ended with the traditional meet the Lobos night at Jackson Field. Student Life 13 Birthday of a Legend The majority of people know that Sul Ross was named after Lawrence Sullivan Ross, but how many know he is a legend? Ross was born in Iowa in 1838, and moved to Texas with his familly the following year. Because his father was an Indian agent, Ross gained experience about the Indians in Central Texas. At the age of 21, Ross was a Ranger Company Captain. He led an attack against the Comanche and killed Chief Peta Necona in hand-to-hand combat and captured long lost Cynthia Ann Parker. After two years of service during the Civil War, Ross made Brigadier General for the Confederate States of America. He led the Ross Cavalry Brigade, composed chiefly of Texans, in almost continual action in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee, with major battles at Lawrenceburg, Harpeth River, and Murfreesboro. Following the close of the war, Ross returned to Texas and became sheriff of McLennan County. In 1875, he became a member of the Constitutional Convention and was elected to the State Senate in 1880. From 1887-91, Ross served as governor of Texas and was the first chief executive to occupy the present capital building. Ross gave much attention to public lands and made a special plea for public schools and free text books. Because of these outstanding events, Ross is known as the founding father of Sul Ross State University. The University celebrated the 139th birthdate of the famous man on Sept. 27. There was a meal on the Mall and Doak Snead, composer of the Terlingua Chili Cook-off National Antham, gave a concert which lasted through the evening. Organizations were also involved by participat ion in a Chili Cook-off contest. Many organizations entered, and the Geology Club won first prize. As an added attraction Kenny Ersch, TKE member, rode on horseback in a Confederate uniform. 14 Student Life ill MUfminni ti i ? r Student Life 15 t Seventeen Years of Independence October 1, the African nation of Nigeria celebrated their 17th year of independence. However, festivities took place not only in Africa, but in Alpine as well. The Sul Ross Nigerian students along with some 200 guests celebrated the occasion at Kokernot Lodge. Nigeria gained its independence from Great Britian through diplomatic negotiations. The National Day celebration is a way of paying tribute to those who pioneered the struggle for independence of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. 16 Student Life Alan Pitkin is a student- craftsman in his own right. The Andrews sophomore was given the task of casting the letters that spell out Sul Ross State University on the new sign just below the Administration Building parking lot. “I don’t mind doing the job,” Pitkin said as he worked on preparing a mold that would cast the letter ‘s’. ‘‘This is what I like to do. My interest is in foundery work and machine shop.” The casting process involved a number of precise steps, the industrial arts major explained. First a wooden pattern of the letter was cut from a piece of plywood and sanded and sealed with a sealing varnish. The letter was then placed in a special carrier and a mixture of sand and oil was pounded around the letter to form the mold. The letter was removed, leaving its impression in the sand. Using a small blast furnace that reaches temperatures of 1250 degrees, Pitkin melted ingots of aluminum. He then poured the molten metal into the mold and left it to cool for about 12 hours. Once it was cooked, Pitkin took the letter out and sanded or filed the rough edges off. The result was a shiny metal letter. Pitkin has been doing foundery work for five years. While at Andrews High School, he learned his craft under the supervision of Don Gorman, a former Sul Ross student. ‘‘While I was at Andrews High School we did simple projects such as casting a lamp. But I also designed a machinists vice with a swivel base,” Pitkin said. ‘‘I had to make the pattern myself,” he continued. ‘‘Many times you can get patterns that are already made.” Pitkin wants to teach vocational industrial arts when he graduates from Sul Ross.

The play, written by French playwright Jean Anouilh, presented the age old conflict of free-will versus the law of man against the state of purity against corruption. Anouilh adapted the play during World War II to strike out against the Nazi occupation of France. Jordan and his cast adapted the production to fit social thought and criticism. Presented in modern dres s and modern language using a slide- show background, the play, Jordan said, “also portrays the absurdity of the human condition.” Two main characters, Creon, King of Thebes, played by Houston sophomore Gene Wilson, and Antigone, his niece, played by Pearsall sophomore, Siria Luera, embodied the conflict of the plot and proved the personal responsibility for suffering. Judy Petrosky, El Paso freshman, was cast as the chorus which acted as a narrator in the production. San Antonio freshman Gene Benner played Antigone’s sister Ismeme, while Marfa freshman Rick Comer played Antigone’s lover, Haeman. Jal, N.M., junior Robin Rose played the Nurse who took care of Antigone and Ismeme after their mother’s death. Other cast members included Dallas freshman David Cassaboom as Private Jonas; McCamey senior Joe Arana as the Corporal; Coronado, Calif., freshman Jim Brown as the guard; Syracuse, N.Y., freshman Sherry Clark as Creon’s Page; Brownsville freshman Laura Ammons as Euredice, Creon’s wife; and Van Horn junior Tom Harlow as the Messenger. This production of “Antigone” was also presented at the American College Theatre Festival at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. Student Life 21 Interview With a Vampire Some time ago a member of the Brand staff noticed a rather sinister figure lurking in the shadows near the SUB. Always on top of the situation our intrepid staff member seized the opportunity for an on-the- spot interview. Q: How do you do? I’m working for the Brand, and I’d like to ask you a few questions, Mr —? A: I’d rather not give you my name. It seems to make people nervous. Q: Pardon me, but haven’t I seen you before? A: You may have. I’m rather famous in my line of work. Q: Just what is it that you do? A: Well, you might say I’m in a medically related profession. Q: Are you here with the El Paso Blood Bank? A: The Blo od Bank? Here? Q: Yes. They’re here for the yearly blood drive. They’re set up in the SUB right now. A: Not again. Everytime I think I’ve got it made they beat me to it. If this keeps up I’ll have to go back to the old country. Terrible place. Q: Wait a minute! The pasty complexion, the cape, the fangs. I knew you looked familiar! You’re a — A. Okay, okay, so I’m a vampire. It’s not as bad as you think. After all, I don’t do anything those Blood Bank people don’t do. Q: Well, yes, but they do it for humanitarian reasons. A: Excuses, excuses! Besides, wouldn’t you rather go to someone like me, who can give you personal attention at home, or line up after a hundred others in a clinical, sterile atmosphere? Just look at them in there. Forms to fill out, temperature and blood pressure checks, all that professional nonsense. That’s not for me. Just one quick bite and it’s all over. It isn’t fair. They’re putting us small businessmen out of work. Q: I can certainly see your point, sir. A: Lovely. Do join me for dinner. 22 Student Life Students Cram for Difficult Subjects Spades and Ping Pong tournaments have become a tradition at Sul Ross. The games have been played at the SUB for years, but the participation reached a high in 1975. This was the year of the First Annual Spades and Ping Pong tournaments. During that year, students were known to cut classes not because they did not want to go, but because they were in the middle of a “hot game”. Others spent three or four hours playing without a break. It appeared that the majority of students knew how to play one of the games. If not, he or she learned quickly for they were often recruited to complete a team. Someone even went so far as to make a list of courses needed to complete a degree in Spades. The trend is dying, but there are still the “old faithfuls” hanging on to the traditiion. Student Life 23 Cowboys Star in Greek Tragedy 24 Student Life In the spirit of good sportsmanship and good natured rivalry the Rodeo Team challenged the combined TKE and AKL fraternities to a football match, the Greeks rose to the challenge in this same spirit and the first Cowboy-Greek game was born. There may have been a touch of avarice mixed in with the sportsmanship somewhere, as the game was intended as a money raising event for the three organizations. The game was played in four fifteen minute quarters by the intercolligiate rules, with high school referees officiating. The players wore full pads. The cowboys dominated the first half with a score of 21-6. The Greeks came back in the second half scoring an additional twenty points. It was a case of too little, too late, however, for the opposition matched the twenty points to end the game with a 41- 26 victory for the Rodeo team. Student Life 25 26 Student Life “I talk for a living,” is Ronnie Merrill’s reply when asked what he does to support himself through college. Actually, Ronnie is a Cooperative Education Student at Fort Davis National Historic Site, Fort Davis, Tx, where during the fall and spring he works part time while attending school. During the summer he plays the role of an 1880 soldier by wearing the full gear and telling people what it was like almost a hundred years ago. Merrill started working at Ft. Davis in Oct. 1974. Because the amount of visitors is low from Oct. to April, he stayed in the office learning to catalog 1860-1890 artifacts. His favorites objects were bottles. “Especially beer bottles, he said. “I know how that bottle got on military grounds. The soldier snuck the beer in from town and hid it by the privy (out-house). After the final roll call, he left the barracks, found his beer and sat in the privy to drink it. I’ve done that very thing.” Well, it may seem strange that Ronnie has drunk beer in a privy, but part of his training entails attending camps at Ft. Davis and Ft. Larime, Wyoming, living the life of a soldier. Everything at the camp is authentic- from recreation to discipline. Merrill put this training to use mainly in the summer as part of a Living History program in which all employees dress in authentic costumes. Ronnie wears a full wool uniform. Some days he rides a horse or fires artillery and others he poses as the post commissary clerk. Whatever the case he is always talking to people. He usually does his talk in first person as if he is really living in the 1800s. He tells of the hard life he has to live and complains of the $13 a month salary he receives. However, Ronnie was not always as sure of himself as he is now. The first time his supervisor told him to talk to a visitor Ronnie said, “I was scared to death. I didn’t know what to talk about. The only thing I could remember was the buttons I had cataloged in the winter. Well, I cornered that visitor and I talked about buttons! I can imagine what that man was thinking!!” Now, Ronnie is the Park Demonstration Supervisor and Black Powder Magazine Officer. He instructs employees on how to use the 1885 rifles and artillery pieces and 1841 cannon which is presently on the parade ground. This enables them to demonstrate these weapons properly. Even with all this experience Ronnie is not guaranteed a permanent position in the National Park Service. If he is not accepted he said, “I would really like to be a priest. My No. 1 priority in life is to help people. I enjoy life more when I do this.” When asked how the park service helps people, Ronnie thought awhile and replied, “It’s like putting on a professional show. If I can make someone smile, laugh, or give them a break, I’ve accomplished my goal in life.” On his views of Sul Ross, Ronnie said, “I enjoyed the individual attention teachers show. Some of the teachers are excellent. I would like to see Sul Ross become more involved with current events. Also, I think better communication is needed between departments. I love the area. To me, this is what the west should look like. I was raised in Sinton, Tx., where there are mainly farmers and ranchers and a few city folk, but not many. I’m a true cowboy at heart.” As a closing comment, Ronnie said, “I love life no matter what I do now or in the future. Everything is a challenge to me. If I’m going to do something I want to do it right. Of course, I’m human,” he laughed, “and need someone to guide and push me along the way.” Profile Ronnie Merrill 1 talked about buttons.” by Allison Ryan Student Life 27 • • Head for the SUB! 28 Student Life Student Life 29 It ' s a Dogs Life 30 Student Life Profile: Jon Bow By Pat Nehr “My personal passion is the patient. Jonathan Bow began ambulance work two years ago as a summer job. He is now on call “Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and fifty-two weeks a year.” When asked why he does it he said, “It’s a hobby.” Although he is a Political Science major he has always been interested in medicine, and is considering going into legal medicine. The Alpine sophomore was required to take 136 hours of training offered at Sul Ross, brought here through the El Paso Community College. It took about six months and consisted of anything to do with emergency treatment. “We even had a few lessons on how to tear apart a car.” He also attended forty hours of in hospital training in El Paso. Jon claims there is alot of psychology involved with the job. “At first, it scared me bad. It took me a while to actually figure out what I could do and what I couldn’t. I had to actually build up the confidence in myself.” Answering on the average of about 5.2 calls a day, Jon’s work often interferes with his class schedule. He said h e is very thankful for the help and understanding he has been given from his professors and the school. “I don’t think I could have done this at any other university. First of all we had a great deal of help through our Adult and Continuing Education department here at Sul Ross. Also the professors here are fantastic. My professors have been more than willing to go out of their way to help me if I have missed something.” According to Bow his job can be fulfilling. “It’s rewarding in a way that most jobs aren’t. I can walk in some days and say that man is on the streets today because I was there and did something. That makes up for the long hours. It makes up for the nights when I don’t get any sleep and spend eight hours in classes the next day. It makes up for all the wrecks I go to and see somebody is dead and there’s nothing I can do. That’s what makes it all pay off.” Student Life 31 “We got spirit, how bout you?” 32 Student Life Student Life 33 Profile: Stephanie Karrer “I was thirteen and this guy broke my heart, so I just started writing.” Stephanie Karrer has been making music for the past five years. In this time she has produced approximately 75 folk songs. Although she has performed at a numb er of banquets, school functions, and at Terlingua, her playing is mainly for personal pleasure. Stephanie, an Austin freshman, started off as a History major when a scholarship was granted her. Now she plans on changing her major to English. Her reasoning is, “If I get into it and go the composition route, not the grammar, then that will help me with my writing.” Karrer claims Sul Ross has been rather inspiring to her, although she has done very little playing while she has been here. Stephanie is unique. She does not read or write fihusic. Every song she composes is recorded only in her head. She does hope to record professionally in the future. Though, due to difficulties in getting financial backing, this may take a while. She relates to her cousin, Jack Rotland. “I have a cousin that’s recording in Nashville right now. I feel pretty sure that he could help me get a start.” Karrer taught herself how to play the guitar. When she writes she follows a certain procedure. “First I’m in the mood to write, something’s happened, or I’m feeling real good. So I go and just start playing around with my guitar. The music sets me in a thoughtful mood and then I just start writing what I’m thinking about. Everything I write I experience.” By Pat Nehr 34 Student Life Everywhere a Sign ft T a , x VHtiitvre—— SoMklts. - D ®� -s nc -JeggmiL TiMt ¥:oo- 2:o 0 dati:,S� c E£6 2r place. fr ° , ' n z STteOif tme[ y l See filhuti; 3fU pcA...

Tracy started her journalism career at Snyder High School where she was co-editor of the school newspaper her senior year. She continued her journalism work at Western Texas Junior College, also in Snyder, for two years before transferring to Sul Ross. “I always wrote well in class. My daddy is an English teacher, and he suggested that I put it to use. I had two choices of playing sports or writing — I chose writing,” Tracy explained. ‘‘I like to improve things and I enjoy relating to the public. What better way is there than the media?” she asked. Tracy relates best to the public through her column, ‘‘Moore or Less.” “My column is my pride and joy. Without it I probably wouldn’t work for a paper. I have such freedom with it.” When asked if she was afraid of people’s reactions she said, “I thrive on critisism, but I know a lot of people don’t like me and I’m sorry for that but I have to write what I feel is right.” Tracy was not always this self confident. She said, “When I first came to Sul Ross, I was scared. I didn’t know anything about the people or the system. I’m really not that good, but I had won some awards for writing, so I was afraid the department was expecting someone who was very good.” Even though Tracy had her doubts she still applied for the position and she said, “I was suprised when I got the job. I enjoy the responsibility and it pays my way through school, and of course, I gain experience at the same time.” After spending almost a year at Sul Ross, Tracy still can’t give a definate answer why she came here. She said, “I don’t know. I don’t have any idea. I guess I wanted to get away from my home town. Also, I’m a non¬ conformist and the thought of going to a large university and becoming one of the many masses just turned me off.” w She continued saying, “Everybody was real nice to me. Many people in high places were nice to me, also. I think it had to do with me being editor. The newspaper is a powerful tool, especially on this campus.” When asked about the University in general, Tracy said, “Here at Sully too many people look out for 1 instead of Sul Ross in general. It’s like do what I can for me and to hell with everybody else. The school has some poor programs that need improvement. Why do I stay? I don’t hate the school — I want to improve it.” Besides writing for the Skyline, Tracy keeps a journal of personal experiences and writes poetry. She said, “I would never let anybody read it, but someday I would like to write a book about what I write. I can’t say it would sell, but I know I’ll write it. I guess it’s the great American dream — to write.” 42 Student Life Saturday Night Live in Alpine Student Life 43 44 Student Life The presentation of class and campus favorites by Dr. Wayne Sheehan and the coronation of Queen Kay Melin and King Robert Sekal highlighted the 1978 Brand Dance. The semi-formal dance was presented as a joint effort of the Student Congress and Program Council and featured a Western theme. Decorations included glittering local brands suspended from the ceiling fixtures. The royal couples were seated on bales of hay covered by saddle blankets. Southwest, a contemporary music group from El Paso, provided the entertainment.

Among these is graduate student Muhammed Ali from Iran, who is working on a Masters in Business. When asked why he came to this university he replied, “I prefer to come here because of the people. The people are friendlier.” “I would like to sight-see, and the best key for me to know the other people in the other countries is learning how to speak English and write it.” “A bunch of people think the Americans are wild and not a good people. I just met lots of angels in the United States. This school is special. People understand each other. The majority of the students — let’s put it this way, their noses here are not in the air, and there are alot of people like this.” There are very few differences between Iran and the United States according to Muhammed. ‘‘My country is just like the big country of Texas. We live the way that you live. Unfortunately people who don’t know anything about my country think that we ride camels. But that’s not really true. We’ve got cars, big buildings, and universities. We’ve got good people and we’ve got bad people.” He also claims the Iranians care more about the emotional spiritual than they do do the physical and material aspects of life. When asked if he had ever been put down by anyone at Sul Ross because he is a foreigner he said, “Some of them make fun of me, or they used to, but not anymore. But on the balance I can say no, and would like to say instead of laughing at us, laughing with us. In this school, I can say, all of the instructors have taken care of us.” Ali’s philosophy is simple but unique. “I do not stab a knife in somebody’s back. I do not deceive the people. I do not give anybody any promises that I can not afford. And that’s my religion.” Student Life 47 Harmony and Hilarity Concert band Hixon, Willey and South and comedian Steve Moore join forces to provide the campus with a night of entertainment. Jeff Hixon, Tom Willey and Gail South, along with Kip Dale, have been together for over two years. The goup presented an intimate program of music, ranging from strong lyrics and harmonies to easy jazz- influenced sounds. Steve Moore promised to have the audience rolling in the aisles and he certainly did deliver. His irreverent brand of humor kept his audience so entertained he was called back for two encores. Steve Moore 48 Student Life Hixon, Willey and South Student Life 49 Troopers March Over Wild Bunch In an exhausting two game match the Troopers defeated the Wild Bunch to win this year’s Intramural Volleyball Championship title. Eleven teams competed in the tournament. The teams included AKL, TKE, Water’s Warriors, Conflict Creators, Troopers, Pubs, HPE Gang, Sets, Might Mouse Mob, Wild Bunch, and Range and Wildlife. In semi-final play the Wild Bunch conquered the Warriors to take the winner’s bracket. In the loser’s bracket the Troopers beat the Conflict Creators to enter the finals. In championship play the Troopers defeated the Wild Bunch in two sets to win the first game, leaving both teams with one loss in double-elimination play. The Troopers then won the necessary second game for the championship. 50 Student Life Profile: Bettye Powell “You’re never too old to learn anything.” By Allison Ryan “I didn’t start college after high school; I thought getting married was more important,” is the reason Bettye Powell has waited 25 years to get a degree. Bettye, a native of Pecos, started school at Odessa College two years ago. She said, ‘‘I was tired of having small jobs that didn’t pay well. Besides, I have always had a dream to be a teacher. Two years ago I decided to fulfill my dream.” Mr. Powell is the one who encouraged Bettye to return to school. ‘‘He even build me a desk. My three children also encouraged me. They think it’s great. I’m glad I had their encouragement, because I was nervous when I started class,” Bettye said. ‘‘However, when I saw people in their sixties it eased my mind! You’re never to old to learn anything.” Bettye is now a junior speech major at Sul Ross. She has been on the Dean’s List each semester. However, she does not spend all her time studying. In fact, she has become as involved with school activities as most first year students. Not only is she secretary of the Drama Club, Mask and Slipper Club and the Video Club, she is also reporter and parlimentarian for the Spanish Club, a member of Alethia Kai, a player in Reader’s Theatre and an employee of the library. She said, “I’m obviously very interested in Sul Ross. I think we should support everybody.” Because of the age difference, one would think that Bettye would complain of the generation gap. ‘‘I don’t think it exists. I’ve always been accepted as one of the kids,” she said. “I’m for the kids. Too many people think that all kids are bad.” “When I was growing up, things were the same. Parents may have been stricter,” she continued, “but we had the same ideas of prominence and success. We had problems and caused trouble just like kids today.” Bettye will graduate in the spring of ’79 with a degree in Speech. “I would like to teach in high school for awhile and then later teach at the college level. I prefer college over high school.” When asked how she handles her job, activities and home life she said, “I just do it. People warn me not to do too much, but I’ve always been involved in school.” During Bettye’s senior year in high school, she was voted most likely to succeed — and succeed she has. Student Life 51 52 Student Life Vs. Commuter Life Student Life 53 n m 54 Student Life Dorm Life Student Life 55 Profile: Terry Proffer By Pat Weeks “If there’s something with two wheels and an engine on it I’ll ride it.” Terry Proffer is into motorcycles. “Ever since I saw my first motorcycle I’ve wanted to get on one,” asserted Proffer. ‘‘If I’m still alive and kicking around sixty or seventy years old I’ll still be on a bike if I can.” He first began riding at the age of twelve in his hometown of China Lake, California. Terry has raced in motocross and cross-country events in both California and Texas. Motocross is a race held on an enclosed track from V 2-3 miles in length. This tract consists of natural terrain with ‘‘jumps, mud, bumps and sand, and whatever else is in the way.” According to Proffer motocross is a very physically demanding sport. It involves constant pounding and requires endurance, good reflexes and a lot of common sense. Motocross is also a spectacular sport, with riders making jumps of fifteen or twenty feet in the air and reaching speeds of 60 miles per hour. While this may sound dangerous, it is relatively safe, provided the rider uses his head. “I’ve had more injuries playing basketball than I have racing,” Terry claims. “Of course, you can get hurt doing anything.” The rider wears protective gear and if he does fall, it’s in soft dirt. When asked why he raced, Proffer replied, “Mainly I was racing to have fun and I did have fun.” A lthough financial problems have prevented Terry from racing this past year he hasn’t stopped having fun. He still rides both street and dirt bikes, but prefers dirt bikes. He enjoys going “where no one has been for a while” to fish, collect rocks or just plain sight-see. A motocycle is ideal for this, according to Proffer. “It’s really a valuable tool. You can follow most trails without any problem. Alot of people are so out of shape that they try walking and they’re to exhausted to enjoy the scenery. If you’re on a bike it’ll do the work for you. You can take your time and sight-see.” As well as two-wheeling, Terry plays basketball and is a member of the Big Bend Motorcycle Club. “I like the size of the school,” he replied when asked about Sul Ross. “I don’t like big crowds.” The people are easy to get along with and the professors are very helpful, he said. Why motorcycles? “I’m happy just being around motorcycles. Alot of people are happy being around horses. A motorcycle is alot more economical. It doesn’t require the constant love and attention that a horse does and it’s not going to try and kick you when it’s parked.” 56 Student Life Hustlers Make the Break An unprecedented thirty-three entrants turned out for the 1978 Spring Eight-Ball Tournament. The contestants played three games per match in single elimination play. Luis Hernandez and Steve Monroe won the third round of play to enter the finals.

Last yearthe university received a state appropriation for the purpose of up-dating the present buildings and campus facilities. Some of these renovations have already started. Work began in the summer and fall of 1977 with the installation of street lights, the laying of new sidewalks and wider roads, and the building of a new Horse Science facility for the RAS department. The new RAS facility, equipped to handle any type of corrective farrier work, is already in use. Sul Ross is now the only state school with a horse science program this specialized. The building features a large classroom with a demonstration 58 Student Life stall and farriers forge where students can be taught to make corrective horse shoes. Also included in the building are 10 horseshoeing bays equipped with forges and tools, and office, tack and supply rooms. At the west end of the building are 18 partially covered stalls and two round breaking pens. Renovations continued this spring with the remodeling of Kokernot Lodge by the university maintenance crew in order to make the lodge more useful to both Sul Ross and Alpine. The 49 year old landmark underwent a significant face-lift over a five month period with crews remodeling the lodge a little at a time. Crews have installed a central air and heating system, remodeled the kitchen area, carpeted the lobby and refinished the existing wooden floors. --continued next page Student Life 59 First Phase Scheduled for Fall In addition, the restroom facilities were refitted and the inside and outside of the building were given new coats of paint. Student housing has not been ignored. Fletcher Hall, an abandoned dormitory has been remodeled into apartments. Further plans call for the renovation of the Administration, Fine Arts, and Education buildings. Obviously, this necessitates a great deal of moving by the various departments, as well as permanent relocation of several departments and academic divisions. According to Sul Ross President Bob Richardfeon, the program which will be initiated in two phases, will centralize several divisions and University services which are currently scattered among Ihe three buildings. 60 Student Life Phase I plans call for first remodeling the Fine Arts and Education Buildings at the same time. Once completed, the Fine Arts Building will house the Division of Fine Arts, which includes the Departments of Speech and Drama and Music. The Division of Liberal Arts will occupy the bottom floor of the Education Building. These departments include English, Spanish, Political Science, History and Criminal Justice. Presently these departments are scattered in each of the three buildings under consideration. —continued next page Student Life 61 Major Renovations Planned The Post Office, presently located on the bottom floor of the Education Building, will be moved to the Student Center. The second floor of the Education Building will be converted into classroom space, and the Main Auditorium will undergo extensive remodeling. The Teacher Education Division will remain on the third floor. These two buildings are expected to be completed in June of 1979, and contractors will immediately begin Phase II, the Administration Building. The plans call for remodeling the building to house the Photography Service, Student Publications, News and Information, Placement, Adult 62 Student Life and Continuing Education, Purchasing, Security, and computer facilities on the bottom floor. The second floor would remain basically the same, housing the President, Academic Affairs, University Affairs, Registrar, Graduate Division and Business offices. The Division of Business Administration would occupy the third floor. The departmental shifting began with the temporary relocation of the Art department in the Old Dining Hall. The remaining funds appropriated bythe state legislature for renovations will be used to redesign the campus’ heating and cooling plant and electrical distribution plant.

Personalities 81 84 Sports FOCUS ON FOOTBALL Inexperience Contributes to 2-7 Season Working with a young and inexperienced team, the Sul Ross Lobos took two early season wins then dropped seven others in the wake of more experienced teams during their 1977-78 campaign. The Lobos finished the season with 2 wins and 7 losses, falling to last place in the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The year before the Lobos finished second to Trinity University in the TIAA. However, Sul Ross took four straight losses in conference play to end up on the bottom rung this year. Sul Ross opened its 11-week season with the Mexico Polytechnical Institute Redskins to post a 31-14 victory over the Mexico City team. The Lobos dominated the first half scoring, tallying three touchdowns to take a 21-0 halftime lead. They came back in the second quarter to score a field goal and one more touchdown with 56 seconds remaining in the game. In a non-conference bout, the Tarleton State University Texans held the Lobos to only 32 yards rushing to hand Sul Ross a stinging 32-20 -continued next page. Sports 85 86 Sports FOCUS ON FOOTBALL defeat in the second game of the season. The Texans held a 25-7 advantage at the half and Sul Ross could only generate two touchdowns in the second half. Three fumbles deep in their own territory, one pass interception and 98 yards lost in penalties set up the Lobos second loss of the season against Nuevo Leon University 28-8 in the Amistad Cup Classic II in Del Rio. The Lobos only score against the Monterrey, Mexico, team came in the third quarter on a 63-yard touchdown run by quarterback Ricky Watts. In a game against Baptist Christian College of Shreveport, La., the Lobos rolled up 529 offensive yards and seven touchdowns to beat the Warriors 46-14 for the Lobos’ last win of the season. Sul Ross intercepted two key Warrior passes to set up scoring drives and held BCC to only 166 yards rushing and 25 yards passing. After a 20- 14 halftime advantage, the Lobos took over the scoring in the second half, crossing the goal line twice in each period. The McMurry College Indians handed Sul Ross the first of five straight defeats in a 28-0 shutout in Abilene. The Lobos tried three quarterbacks but succeeded in generating only 163 yards on the ground and 10 in the air during the contest. After a two week rest, the Lobos again met McMurry in a Homecoming clash that ended in a 21-7 defeat for the Lobos. Three key turnovers, in the second half, set the stage for Sul Ross’ first conference loss. Sul Ross did dominate the first half, moving the ball up and down the field, but never across the goal line. The Lobos’ only score came from a 47-yard strike from quarterback Watts to his brother, wingback Tony Watts in the final frame. -continued next page.

Trinity scored three swift touchdowns and the Lobos finished the first half with two touchdown passes from Watts to split end Don Walker. The Lobos traveled the next week to Stevenville, seeking their elusive conference win against the Tarleton Texans. Instead, Tarleton delt the Lobos a 32-8 loss. Sul Ross’ only score came in the third period with Watts capping off a 37-yard scoring drive with a three-yard jaunt across the goal line. Following a no-score first quarter, Tarleton wound up its offense to score in the remaining three periods. In a fight for last place in the conference, Sul ross took a 36-14 loss from conference underdog Austin College to give AC their first win of the season and Sul Ross their seventh loss. Both teams battled to a 14-14 halftime score, each scoring one after the other. The Kangaroos launched their offense in the second half to score once in the third quarter and three times in the final frame. Tarleton took the conference crown in the TIAA, remaining undefeated in conference play for the season. Trinity took second, losing only to Tarleton 17-13. McMurry finished third with a 2-2 conference record, Austin College fourth with 1-3 and Sul Ross fifth with 0-4. One Sul Ross player was named first team all-conference and three others were named second team defense by conference coaches. Wingback Tony Watts was named to the conference’s top offensive team, while defensive back Bernie Weems, linebacker Mike Bachofer and defensive lineman John LeBow were named to the defensive team. Ten other Lobos were named honorable mention. They included center Mark Buescher, offensive guard Scott Wilcox, offensive tackles Don Hayes and Larry Strezlczyk, tight end Jimbo Amberson, quarterback Ricky Watts, defensive backs Travis Howard and Steve Clegg and defensive lineman Gary Mercer. Sports 89 Lobos Nip Angelo 70-69 All it took was a walking infraction in the closing seconds of the game to nullify an Angelo State University basket that would have cost the Lobos another home-court victory. But the Rams one-point hope dissipated with five seconds on the clock as the refree’s whistle sounded to secure a 70-69 victory for the Lobos. The win was the first home- court victory over Angelo during Ram coach Phil George’s 27 years at ASU. Angelo led by one point at the half, 39-38, but the Lobos jumped to a quick point lead and held it until the Rams finally got a one- point edge with 8 minutes left in the game. After the lead changed hands, the Lobos built a three-point lead they held on to. In the final two minutes of the game, the Rams narrowed the margin to one point. The Rams, with five seconds remaining, hit a clean shot, only to take one step too many and turn the ball over to the Lobos. Sul Ross passed the ball in and ran out the remaining time on the clock. 90 Sports Eastern NM Falls 92-82 to Heavy Lobo Attack Led by a four-man scoring attack, the Sul Ross Lobos snuffed out Eastern New Mexico University’s four game winning streak in a decisive 92-82 victory. The win avenged an earlier 72-95 loss to Eastern in Portales, N.M. Despite the Greyhound’s 44-41 lead at the half and the no-miss shooting of Eastern’s All-American candidate Bob Kirkley, who scored 36 points for the night, the Lobos were able to rally as much as a 20-point second half lead to stay well ahead of Eastern’s offense. Sul Ross was led by four Lobos who hit double figures for the game. San Antonio senior Bryan Riddle led the scoring with 22 points, El Paso junior Vic Flores and El Paso freshman Ricky Enriquez scored 19 points each, and Seminole senior Kim Hughes scored 18. Riddle and Aleif sophomore Robert Sekal led in rebounding, each grabbing 11 off the boards. Flores had 10 rebounds for the game. Sports 91 Lobos Down Austin College in First TIAA Victory It seemed that the Lobo’s 34- day holiday break had taken its toll as the team dropped their first Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association game against Trinity University 89-79 in San Antonio. Trinity led 46-44 at the half, but Coach Chet Sample said the Lobos ‘‘couldn’t do anything” to muster points during the second half. Despit the double figures, the Lobos were not able to take a lead in the game. The following week, the Lobos eased by the Austin College Kangaroos 86-82 to claim their first TIAA victory. Austin College tightened their defense early in the second half in an effort to close Sul Ross’ 47-34 halftime lead which grew to a 21 point difference. However, Sul Ross capitalized on free throws as the Kangaroos pressed for time and points. Austin narrowed the score to 81-76 with three minutes left in the game, but the Lobos kept the lead and the ball, running out the clock for the win. For a second conference win Sul Ross slipped by McMurry 67- 65 in a rough and tumble conference win. Following a neck-and-neck scoring race in the first half, Sul Ross began to pull away with five minutes left to build a 44-34 halftime lead. The score reached 67-65 and with two seconds left McMurry fouled Lobo forward Kim Hughes, who missed the first of a one-and-one free throw. McMurry grabbed the rebound and attempted to score, but the buzzer sounded before the Indians could shoot. The Lobos bombed the winless Tarleton Texans 86-64 in Stephenville for their third consecutive conference win and evened their season record at 7-7. 92 Sports The Lobos only led the Texans by seven points at the end of the first half. Coach Sample said, “They were quite a bit smaller than we were and I didn’t want to take a chance of running the press the first half.” They went into the press at the start of the second half, however, and put the game out of reach early. The following week, the Lobos again defeated Tarleton 85-80 for another conference win. The Texans hit the floor running and pulled ahead by as much as 14 points in the first half. The Lobos’ scoring attack did not get untracked until mid-way through the half when they scored six unanswered points to narrow the lead. Sul Ross took the lead for the first time with 13:09 showing on the clock, but it was not until four minutes later that the Lobos took the lead to stay. The closest the Texans could come the rest of the night was three points. The Lobos continuous winning streak ended when they dropped two road games, one against Austin College and the other against McMurry. A last second field goal by El Paso freshman Louis Lopez gave the Lobos a 85-83 winning note over the Trinity Tigers and tied the conference championship between the two teams. Despite a 45-39 halftime deficit, the Lobos closely followed the Tigers during the second half until Hughes hit both sides of a one-and-one free throw to tie the game at 83-all with 24 seconds remaining in the game. As Trinity brought the ball down the court, Wendel stepped in to steal it, and Sul Ross promptly called a time out. The Lobos set up their offense where the free guard would shoot the final shot, and the ball was passed to Lopez who hit a 30-foot jumper with four seconds left. Sports 93 Lobos Share Conference Title The McMurry College Indians went on the warpath at the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association Basketball Tournament in Sherman and massacred Austin College, Sul Ross, and Trinity Univeristy to finish in the first place spotlight. McMurry handily defeated all three teams by wide margins, taking Austin College 67-57, beating Sul Ross 81-65 in the semi-finals, and downing Trinity 64-54 in the finals. The tournament did not give McMurry the TIAA championship title, however. The title was decided when Sul Ross beat Trinity 85-83 to become conference co-champs with the Tigers. Both teams held a 5-3 conference record. Sul Ross opened the tournament with Tarleton and unsaddled the Texans 80-67. Tarleton led at the half by one point, 34-33, but midway through the second half the Lobos grabbed the lead and held on to it. Sul Ross’ scoring was led by Vic Flores who scored 26 points and grabbed 13 rebounds off the boards. Three other Lobos hit double figures for that game with Kim Hughes scoring 13, Bryan Riddle scoring 12 and Ricky Enriquez scoring 11. McMurry did its worse damage to the Lobos during the first half of that semi-final contest. After the first 10 minutes of play, the Indians had drummed up a lead that they built to as much as 27 points. In the second half the scoring race was closer, as McMurry scored only 39 points in the second half and Sul Ross scored 37. Flores again led the Lobos in scoring and rebounding, tallying 24 points and 10 caroms. Hughes and Riddle followed with 18 and 10 points respectively. Eight conference players were named to an all-tournament team. Flores, a 6 ' 2 forward, was the only Lobo named to the team. 94 Sports Sports 95 A Look at the Co-Champs The 1978 Leaping Lobos: Row 1, Bruce Goodner, Kim Hughes, Dusty Loewe, Joe Duncan (Manager), Ricky Enriquez, David Bynum, Paul Blair; Row 2, Jeff Jackson, John Curry, Robert Sekal, Mark Wendel, Bryan Riddle, Bernard Turk, Roger Williams, Jonafor Bryant, Vic Flores and Dr. Chet Sample. 96 Sports Three former El Paso high school basketball players and El Paso Bel Air School Basketball Coach Charles Quisenberry were honored at the Sul Ross Basketball Awards Ceremony.

The junior college transfer was second in field goal percentage and free throw percentage, hitting 55 per cent and 75 per cent respectively. He had 38 assists for the season for the second-place spot in that category. Enriquez was fourth for the season in total scoring with 10.8 per game and ranked first in the assist column with 83 for the year, an average of nearly four assists per game.

Sports 109 Profiles Lee Newman By Donna Randolph u . . . .1 want another shot at it. Lee Newman, freshman Range Animal Science major, has taken a commanding lead in the bull riding event in the Southwestern region of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA). Newman finished second in bull riding at the Texas Tech NIRA Rodeo held at Lubbock to bring his total points to 265. His closest contender for the lead is Rocky Anderson from Cisco Junior College with 144 points. Newman’s interest in rodeo and especially bull riding dates back to his childhood days. When asked when and why he became interested in rodeo’s roughest event, bull riding, he said, “Ever since I was a kid I always wanted to ride bulls. It was exciting.” In the eighth grade Newman’s first bull bucked him off “But not hard enough to keep me from trying again” said Newman. In 1973, he entered Weatherford High School and became serious about riding bulls. He joined the North Texas High School Rodeo Association (NTHSRA). His sophomore year he won the NTHSRA bull riding championship. The next two years, he took Reserve Champion honors. Newman entered Sul Ross in the fall of 76. He rodeoed for the S.R. Rodeo Team and won the Sul Ross and Texas Tech NIRA rodeos. He also placed in enough of the other to gain the title of Southwestern Region Bull Riding Champion and the opportunity to compete in the College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) held in Boseman, Mont. This year Newman began stacking up points with a tie of first place at the Eastern New Mexico University NIRA rodeo at Portales, N.M. The next rodeo was held at New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, N.M. and Newman added to his points by splitting fifth place. At Sul Ross’ home rodeo, he walked away with first place, a shiny new buckle and more points. To round out the semester, Newman increased the gap between Anderson and himself by winning second place at the Texas Tech NIRA Rodeo in Lubbock. In the Spring, when the rodeos begin again, Newman will have five or six more chances to keep that lead and quality for the CNFR again. From his statement, “I have to keep riding well—it’s the only way to get to the Finals again and I want another shot at it,” Newman intends to do just that. 110 Sports SR Co-Hosts NIRA Rodeo Sports 111 Rick Kinney Named All-Around Cowboy Rick Kinney of Sul Ross was named All-Around Cowboy and Fawna Abel of Eastern New Mexico University was named All-Around Cowgirl following the final go of the Fifth Annual Sul Ross-Fort Stockton NIRA Rodeo in the Pecos County Coliseum. Kinney placed first in the steer wrestling event and fourth in the first go of the bull riding to take the title. Abel placed second in all three of the girl’s events, barrel racing, breakaway roping and goat tying. Tarleton State University captured the boy’s team trophy during the four day rodeo. Second place went to New Mexico State Univeristy and third place to Sul Ross. In the girl’s events, Eastern New Mexico took the team trophy, followed by Texas Tech and Sul Ross. Despite the third place rating in this rodeo, Sul Ross still maintains its first place position in the regional standings. Eighteen collegiate teams competed in the rodeo.

Students now seem to concentrate their efforts on getting their degree and simply getting out into the cold, cruel world. It ' s nothing to be ashamed about, as a college education is being regarded as more of an investment for the future rather than just the chance to get away from Mom and Dad.

People are friendly here and are willing to help.” 164 Individuals Tom Harlow, Kermit junior, Speech and Drama major “l like the individual relationships with professors. I have gone to school on a big campus and it wasn ' t the same. I don ' t like the groups that people divide themselves into at this campus. They pre-judge people because of the way they look. My background is pure Ted-neck ' but I look ‘ hippie ' therefore , I ' m put in that group. People judge you by parts of you they don ' t really know and don ' t care to know.” Ruth M.
