Sul Ross State University - Brand Yearbook (Alpine, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 208 of the 1979 volume:

brand (brand), u.t. 1. to burn or mark as with a hot iron; hence, to place a brand upon, especially as a mark of quality, ownership or manufacture. 2. to im¬ press indelibly; as to brand it on my mind. The 1979 Brand Produced in cooperation with the Yearbook Staff, the Yearbook Advisory Committee, the University Print Shop and the News and Information Office. renovation (ren d-va ' shan), n. 1. act or process of restoring, renewing or regeneration. 2. state of being renewed or repaired. 3. restoration to life, vigor and ac¬ tivity. 4. spiritual renewal, revival. A renewal and revival of any human or physical element takes time and thought. With renovation comes a change, a newness, a freshness. It ' s like the tree in the orchard which was neglected and consequently bore no fruit. When it was given attention, pruned of the dead limbs and watered, it blossomed and produced a bountiful harvest. We come to a university to renovate our minds, to experience the necessary attention to bring forth our own ideas and creative thoughts. We can provide our world a cornucopia of fresh concepts and leadership. It only requires the right nourishment and, if necessary, the right repair and regeneration. growth (groth), n. The process of growing; increase in size, number, frequency or strength. New faces and new ideas over consecutive semesters have become indicators of growth for Sul Ross. With this growth has come new programs and new attitudes, all positive and flourishing. With an increase in size comes an abundance of experiences which blend to cultivate personal growth. The mind unfolds as we look down the various avenues of life and branch out to capture the thoughts of others. Growth is a never-ending process and through growth we strive to reach maturity and self-fulfillment. harmony (har ' mon-i), n. 1. agreement in facts, opinions, manners, interests, etc.; as, friends who live and act in harmony. 2. the pleasing concord of- simultaneous sounds or strains differing in pitch or quality. 3. the adaptation of parts to each other in any system or com¬ bination intended to form a connected whole. Although we come to Sul Ross as distinct and unique individuals , we find that through our involvement in student life , clubs and organizations , our personalities harmonize and reach a pleasing system of cooperation. It ' s a learning experience we all undergo in order to become functional members of our society. We band together and combine our pride , offering the support the university needs to continue to grow and prosper. promise (prWis), . Implies solemn assurance, to give ground for ex¬ pectations, hope of eventual success. Renovation, growth and harmony have been tied together at Sul Ross and now provide a pledge for a rewarding future. One year glides into another, and although we might expect one to be much the same as the next, we find that each year brings new promises and new expectations. table of contents vitality .10 personality.82 teamwork.98 activity. 134 contribution. 158 direction. 182 ncacy, as ui a meuiuiie —iuy v -� i in; virtue ui ue- cause of vlr-tli-O-SO (vur ' choo wo ' so) n., pi. -sos, -si (-se) [It., skilled] a person with great technical skill in some fine art, esp. in music — vlr ' tu- os ' l-ty (-was ' a te) n. vir-tu-ous (vur ' choo was) adj. 1 . having, or characterized by, moral virtue 2. chaste: said of a woman — vlr ' tu-ous-ly adv. vir-U-lent (vir ' yoo lant, -oo-) adj.

There were rodeos, barbeques, movies, dances, 4-H shows, parties, trips to Fort Davis and Big Bend. The list goes on and on. Best of all, there was the Theatre of the Big Bend. With family entertainment as the overall theme and goal for the theater’s 13th season, comedy and music spotlighted the four major productions which were performed three and four nights a week during July and August. “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” a musical featuring the entire Peanuts gang, attracted record-breaking crowds to the outdoor theatre. Patrons saw Lucy, Charlie Brown, Linus, Schroeder, Patty and, of course, Snoopy parade across stage in a number of comical scenes. For a touch of the melodramatic, “Because Their Hearts were Pure;” or “The Secret of the Mine” brought to center stage a hero, heroine and villian and all the other characters found in these delightful sagas. A third production, Neil Simon’s “God’s Favorite,” added honest-to- goodness humor to the theatre’s repretoire. The plot centered around a modern day Job, to whom God sent a messenger, and fire, and famine as a test of faith. “You Know I Can’t Hear You When the Water’s Running,” capped the theatre’s season with a three- week run. This adult comedy contrasted the parodies of love, sex and marriage in a series of three short one-act plays. More than 3,400 persons filled theatre seats during the seven-week long season. Attendance was more than it had been in several years; in fact, it had doubled. So who says summer school is boring. The Theatre of the Big Bend certainly wasn’t. 12 student life student life 13 Students get warm welcome Getting used to a new environment can be fun and sometimes frustrating, but a little encouragement and entertainment can go a long way toward smoothing out the rough spots. Sul Ross welcomed more than 300 new freshmen during Orientation Week. While many walked around in a daze, most attended sessions designed to familiarize them with college life and dorm living, and were given tours of the campus. Faculty members were available for academic advisement. Both new and returning students were greeted with various activities sponsored by the Program Council. The entertainment began Monday with Activity Night, featuring a pool tournament and several movies at the Student Center. Tuesday night saw disco and country and western dance lessons and contests as well as more movies. The popular comedy “Silver Streak” was shown on Wednesday, followed Thursday by an outdoor meal and recreation sponsored by the cafeteria. Friday night concert band Hixon, Willey and South and comedian Steve Moore performed in the Main Auditorium. This was the farewell performance for the old auditorium. Saturday night capped off the week with a dance in Mountainside cafeteria. The band, “Rh Factor,” played a variety of music, including disco, Spanish and country and western. 14 student life student life 15 Fill Gut Packets GO Forget Your Packet?

The Lobo Marching Band had planned to lead a snake dance from Moun¬ tainside to HPE, but dancing in the rain isn’t nearly as much fun as Gene Kelly made it look in “Singin’ in the Rain.” Fortunately no one’s spirits were dampened and everyone dashed to the gym despite the downpour. Supporters arrived dripping but undaunted to back the Lobos with a show of spirit. 18 student life student life 19 20 student life And the walls came tumbling down What took nearly two years to plan, began to materialize this past fall, and it is with a note of irony that something as constructive as the university’s 6.7 million renovation project should begin with utter destruction. But that is how the crews began, tearing out walls and ripping up floors in the Fine Arts and Education Buildings in order to make way for completely new and modern educational facilities. The big move out of the two buildings began late last spring. Professors found they had to share of¬ fice space in the campus’ other buildings, had to pack or store their personal libraries, and had to sometimes find some peace and quiet in a janitor’s closet. Furniture, desks and chairs and the Drama Department’s vast collection of props and cos¬ tumes sought temporary refuge in Hancock Hall and Lawrence Hall. The Women’s Gym became the sanctuary for the Education Department and the IA Department’s drafting classes, while the Administration Building took up the slack. The Music Department moved into Lawrence, and the lobby became the band hall and choir room. Students watched with awe and idle curiosity as one by one the windows in the buildings were removed, and the rubble of former classrooms was shoveled out into waiting trucks. For all practical purposes the buildings were gutted as the overall plan called complete renovation and remodeling. Phase I of the long awaited project is just about complete, and students and instructors alike are eager to move back into the buildings. But the construction program does not stop here. Phase II will begin this summer, as summer students will watch the process repeat itself, only this time, the Administration Building will be emptied of its contents, gutted and renewed. student life 21 Caramel apples, menudo combine for zesty Organization Night Campus organizations and students got a chance to get acquainted on Organization Night. Activities began with a meal on the mall sponsored by the cafeteria. Clubs set up booths and tables to promote their special interests and attractions. Several set up pictoral displays to catch the eye of prospective members. Caramel apples and menudo were offered for sale to entice onlookers to take a little closer look at the club. Organizations are a vital part of student life and Organization Night gave students the opportunity to become an integral part of that life. 22 student life student life 23 f£LO c ▼ 4 o RE LOCH ORE LOCK ORE 10 § IRE LOCI WREUJCI I RE LOCI 1® ttf wtt§ We’re from Morelock, Couldn’t be prouder.

A number of people near the construction area behind the Student Center last fall were amazed to see a piece of the construction equipment slowly and majestically topple into the trench it had been digging. The operator of the backhoe said the brake slipped and the machine slowly slid into the hole. He escaped uninjured. The backhoe was rescued from its predicament by several members of the construction crew with the help of a crane, but was unavailable for comment. student life 25 26 student life They’ll do anything for a cheer student life 27 Polychromed sheep baffle students One sheep, two sheep, red sheep, blue sheep. It sounds like either Old McDonald’s version of a Dr. Seuss book or a technicolor method of getting to sleep, but it’s actually art. Purple and green sheep, as well as red and blue, grazed in front of the Art Department as a conceptual art display created by senior art major Lloyd Gk) Id wire. The exhibit, entitled “Nature as Art: Polychromed Sheep” was created by spraying the sheep with a non-toxic vegetable dye in spontaneous designs. 28 student life Water, water everywhere The month of September turned out to be a little rainier than expected as a monsoon-like storm settled over Alpine and dumped more than 5 inches of rain in six days of almost solid moisture. Many students trudged through the wet weather wondering why people had told them that “it never rains in Alpine, it just snows.” And while umbrellas and raincoats dotted the campus, a lot of outdoor activities were cancelled. Students also experienced another rare occasion. Alpine Creek which is normally dry throughout the year ran bank to bank, closing all low water crossings in town. Water ran as much as three feet deep at the crossings. student life 29 30 student life Rain delays Homecoming preparations After weeks of frenzied activity, Homecoming activities got off to a late start. Scattered showers through the earlier part of the week prevented many clubs from building their parade floats as planned. The traditional painting of the Bar-SR-Bar was cancelled by heavy rain. The bonfire had to be built on Friday afternoon several hours before the burning, rather than on Thursday as planned. The bonfire ignited Homecoming spirit, as the cheerleaders and Lobo Marching Band hosted a pep rally Friday night. The pep rally was followed by a country and western dance, with A1 Dean and the All-Stars providing the entertainment. Continued next page student life 31 32 student life Flying saucers ghted at Homecoming Saturday’s activities began with the dedication of the Health and Physical Education Building in honor of two former Sul Ross coaches. More than 300 people turned out for the ceremony honoring Dr. B. C. Graves and Dr. Paul Pierce. The building was renamed the Graves- Pierce Health and Physical Education Building, and both men were presented with a gold and silver spur clip with the years they had coached at Sul Ross engraved on them. The traditional Homecoming Parade gave expression to the theme “Close Encounters of the Big Bend” with more than 40 entries from campus and community organizations. Eight Sul Ross clubs entered floats for competition. The Clip and Brand Club and Delta Tau Alpha were named first place winners. Continued next page student life 33 Spirit runs high Ana Martinez, Alpine senior, was crowned as the 1978 Homecoming Queen during pre-game ceremonies at Jackson Field. She was presented with a watch and a bouquet of red roses. The pageantry did not end with the coronation of the queen. More than 500 area bandsmen participated in a spectacular half¬ time show. The bands, led by the Sul Ross Lobo Marching Band, performed several popular numbers and formed a massive Bar-SR-Bar which stretched the entire length of the football field. While spirit ran high during the game, the Lobos suffered a 26-0 loss to Trinity University. The defeat did not dampen spirits, however, as a live disco dance at Mountainside Cafeteria capped off the Homecoming activities. 34 student life student life 35 Grave robbers they’re not Grave robbers operating in the daytime? No, these students are not performing that 18th century act. Instead, they were caught in the act of cleaning up one of the local cemeteries. Members of the Webb Historical Society spent a Saturday morning voluntarily tidying up Holy Angels Cemetery south of Alpine. Lawn mowers purred, and rakes gathered leaves and brush as the members gave the historic cemetery a much needed cleaning. 36 student life A hunting we will go Armed with gloves and nets, Dr. James Scudday’s mammalogy class took off to hunt, of all things, bats. The class travelled to the old railroad tunnels at the town site of Vinegaroon near Langtry to collect bats for study. The day’s hunting was successful as they brought home a number ofDracula’s cousins. student life 37 38 student life Halftime highlights Football games and pep rallies would not have been the same if the Lobo Marching Band had not been present to lend a spirited hand. As the saying goes, “the show must go on,” and so did the band as their halftime performances were filled with musical pageantry. The band travelled to Sherman to perform during halftime for the SRSU-Austin College game in a show that rivaled all other college bands. student life 39 40 student life A salute to those fantastic fans Hundreds of people surge to their feet in unison. Their intensity is almost tangible, and their common passion is the game of football. They’re fans, and they’re almost as much fun to watch as the players. They yell, clap and jump up and down in excitment at a touchdown and groan together for a fumble. They follow plays with the concentration of a quarterback and cite statistics at the slightest provocation. The more dedicated ones brave the worst weather to cheer on the home team. They endure rain, snow and biting cold for a chance to see the perfect play or the winning point. They’re fans, and football is nothing without them. This is a salute to them. student life 41 It Snowed A Poem, by Seymour Frost. The snow came down, and hit the ground. As once before, It snowed no more. 42 student life student life 43 “It can be a rough and tumble class.” Surprisingly, bucking broncs are not only found in the Sul Ross Arena, but also in two small circular pens at the RAS Horse Science Center. And those who ride these broncs are not necessarily rodeo cowboys. Instead they are, more times than not, Sul Ross students learning how to break and train colts under the direction of Dr. Doug Butler, assistant professor of Range Animal Science. According to Butler, RAS’s horsemanship course can be a “rough and tumble ,, class to take. “Although we try to minimize the possibility of injury to the student, it’s a never-know-what-will-happen situation.” The colts which are trained by students are obtained from local ranchers and private individuals who do not have the time or skill to break the horses themselves. Most of the colts, Butler said, have never been around or touched by humans. The first part of the breaking process consists of gentling the horses, teaching them not to be afraid of people, he said. The horses are then run through a process called “sacking” where they become accustomed to being restrained. A saddle is then put on them and they are led around a pen with another horse which has already been broken. The final segment of the breaking process involves getting on the horse and “riding it until it accepts a rider.” The entire breaking process takes anywhere from four to six months to complete. The class, which is offered in the spring and fall semester, breaks an average of 16 colts a semester, Butler said, but not without an equal number of bruises and tired muscles. 44 student life student life 45 46 student life Rugby takes a lot of practice student life 47 48 student life Rugby invades West Texas Rugby is a British invention, so what is it doing in West Texas? It may be surprising, but Americans have been playing rugby for years. The American team even won the gold medal at the 1924 Olympics. Rugby, also called football, is a rough-and-tumble game, combining elements of American football, hocky, basketball and soccer. It is considered the ancestor of American football, but the players do not wear the elaborate protective equipment of the American football player. It is unique in that a player who is injured may not be substituted. He must either play out the game or the team may play a man short. Obviously it takes dedication to get out on a field, get knocked around with no protection, and even keep playing with an injury. The Sul Ross Rugby Team was definitely dedicated. They competed voluntarily,, with no financial support from the university. The team is a member of the Western Rugby Union and plays in intercollegiate competition. They are organized and coached by student members, and practice four days a week before and during the season. Although the team finished the season with a no-win record, the reason wasn’t a lack of dedication. student life 49 50 student life Let’s dance “I can’t go any further,” she gasped. “We have to,” he panted. “Why?” she cried. “Because I want to win a television set,” he said. This ficticious conversation could have occurred several times during the “Dance for those who can’t” Dance-a-thon for muscular dystrophy sponsored by Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Dancers stumbled through 24 hours of live and recorded disco music to raise money to help find a cure for this crippling children’s disease. Of the 34 entrants, 30 lasted the full 24 hours, and the couple who collected the most money, Will Jackson, Baytown junior, and Brenda Stainer, Lubbock freshman, were each awarded a black and white television set. The TKEs collected more than $2,000 in pledges. student life 51 Bubble, chili, bubble Chiliheads gathered in foggy weather to celebrate the fine art of making—and eating—that culinary delight known as chili. Inspired by the famous Terlingua Chili Cookoff, the Webb Historical Society sponsored the first Sul Ross Chili Cookoff. Entrants dug out their secret recipes and gathered at Kokernot Lodge to compete for the title of Sul Ross Chili Champion. Pots bubbled and steamed as the judges sampled each entry and savored its individual merits. When all were tasted and judged, Karen Simpson was proclaimed winner and Sul Ross Chili Champion. 52 student life student life 53 Disco inferno and mania to boot 54 student life student life 55 Snapshot Cameras clicked around campus last fall as students taking the Industrial Arts Department’s photography class learned how to become ace camera bugs.

Volunteers from the student body work with various organizations in the Alpine community. Their con¬ tribution cannot be measured more effectively than in the knowledge of the good accomplished for the com¬ munity. One such example of community service is the number of students and faculty who serve as volunteer firemen for the Alpine Volunteer Fire Department. With the help of these volunteers, the fire department is more effec¬ tively manned and can answer a call for help quickly, thus saving both property and lives. student life 71 Crowds view solar show A crowd of observers filled the patio of the Science Building last February to observe one of nature’s phenomena as West Texas witnessed a partial solar eclipse. An eclipse is the passing of the moon’s shadow over the sun, and in this instance obscured 60 percent of the sun’s surface. The eclipse was the last which will be visible in the United States for the next 38 years. student life 73 Plant Judging Team competes nationally Sul Ross experienced a first this year as the Range Plant Judging Team participated in an international contest at the annual meeting of the Society for Range Management. The team traveled to Casper, Wyoming in February to compete in the contest along with 23 other teams from universities in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Contestants were required to identify 100 mounted plant specimens by scientific name, including family or tribe, genus and species. The 100 specimens were chosen from a master list of 200 grasses, forbs and woody plants which all contestants were required to learn. On the way home from the contest the team members, their coach and the team sponsor took a detour through Medicine Bow National Forest near Laramie, Wyoming to go skiing. 74 student life Life has its ups and downs student life 75 Dorm life grows on you 76 student life student life 77 Brand Dance illustrates “Three Coins in a Fountain” theme White columns entwined with ivy, a semi-circle of luxuriant plants on pedestals, an ivy-encrusted archway and twin thrones placed in front of a star-studded background was the stage for an evening of fun and excitement as ancient Rome was brought to life at Mountainside Cafeteria for the annual Brand Dance. The theme, “Three Coins In The Fountain”, was reflected in the decor and the glamour of the more than 300 who attended the dance. No jeans and boots at this dance, as more formal attire was worn by couples who danced to the music of Southwest, a group from El Paso. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the favorites. Dr. Abelardo Baeza, master of ceremonies, introduced them as they passed through the archway and took their places in the spotlight. The excitement was intense as Brand Queen and King, 1979 were named. 78 student life student life 79 - 80 student life Glover, Lopez reign Queen Michelle Glover, San Antonio senior, and King Luis Lopez, El Paso junior, were presented the traditional crown and Bar-SR-Bar scepter by SR President Bob Richardson. The band played and the royal couple led the favorites in dancing to “Three Coins In The Fountain’ , sung by Jesse Buice.

With only two lettermen returning on offense an d seven on defense, the Lobos found themselves with inexperienced sophomores and new freshmen, and head coach Vernon Fewell knew he was headed for a tough season. For the first time since Sul Ross joined the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the Lobos played each of the four conference schools on a home and home basis. But an opening non¬ conference game against the Eastern New Mexico University Greyhounds in Portales, N. M., provided an early indication of the season’s outcome. The Lobos’ inexperience coupled with the Greyhounds’ well-balanced offensive and defensive attack told the story. The Lobos were outclassed by a score of 42-0. Sul Ross rallied for its first home game against Tarleton State University, and in a tough defensive battle the Texans squeaked by 13-3 to begin a campaign that would earn them an uncontested conference crown. The game proved costly for the Lobos. Defensive back Bernie Weems, Snyder sophomore, sustained an injury which would keep him out for five weeks; starting quarterback Dean Herbort from San Antonio broke his left thumb; and freshman halfback Mike Adamo from San Antonio received a knee injury whien would bother him the remainder of the season. Continued on page 103. sports 101 102 sports Lobos defeat first ranked McMurry for first win The Lobos nursed their injuries and prepared to meet Trinity University in San Antonio. Again, all the Lobo offense could muster was a field goal, and the Tigers slipped by 14-3 in a fourth quarter offensive surge to capture their first conference win of the season. The Lobos’ score came from a 28-yard field goal by Odessa senior Travis Howard. The team’s morale, however, got an unexpected boost the following weekend, as Sul Ross slipped by nationally ranked McMurry College 3-0 on a third-quarter, 32-yard field goal by Howard. The Lobos were able to move the ball against the Indians for their best offensive effort of the year, rushing 59 times for 202 yards and passing 10 times for 41 yards. At the same time, the powerful Sul Ross defense kept the McMurry crew to 163 total yards, which included only 16 through the air. McMurry, that week, had been ranked No. 1 in the nation by the NAIA. But the Lobos dropped another defensive battle in Sherman the next weekend, this time to the Austin College Kangaroos 17-0. The Lobos were supposed to take a vacation from conference play and fly to Mexico City to meet Nuevo Leon University in a contest arranged by the NAIA. However, last minute cancellations due to a Mexican air controllers strike grounded the Lobos, and the team spent the weekend at home. Tarleton State dealt Sul Ross another loss, this time in Stephenville. The fourth- ranked Texans rolled over the Lobos 35-3 in a TIAA contest, maintaining their conference lead. The Trinity Tigers spoiled Sul Ross’ Homecoming activities, dropping the Lobos 26-0. The Tigers completely dominated the game and the Lobos fell to 1-6 for the season and 1-5 in conference play. The Lobos travelled to Abilene the next Continued on page 104. sports 103 Final game ends in victory weekend, in hopes of claiming a second TIAA contest against McMurry College, but the Indians put it all together and handed the Lobos a 37-9 loss. The game was not without a highpoint as the Lobos scored their first touchdown of the season in the final quarter on a 17- yard run by freshman quarterback Ricky Campos. The other Lobo score came from another Travis Howard field goal. The Lobo’s lone touchdown ended all possibilities of setting an all-time school record of a no-touchdown season. With a little more confidence and with no threat of “pressure” as Coach Fewell described it, the Lobos ended the season with a 14-7 home victory over Austin College. Dedicating the game to the memory of John LeBow, a returning Lobo letterman who died in an automobile accident in August, the Lobos mustered two touchdowns and extra points in the third quarter, both on one-yard and two-yard jaunts by freshman quarterback Danny Daniels. Freshman Ray Salinas kicked both extra points. All the credit did not go solely to the Lobo offense, as SRSU’s defensive squad held the Kangaroos to 40 yards rushing on 45 attempts and 66 yards passing. Offensively, the Lobos played their second best game of the season, rushing for 201 yards and passing for 26. While the Lobos ended the season in the conference cellar with a 2-6 record, they did maintain a high ranking throughout the season in pass defense in the NAIA. The Lobos stayed among the top eleven teams in the nation in pass defense through the season, finishing No. 6 with a 78.7 game average. Tarleton captured the conference with a 7-0-1 record, tying Trinity University in their final contest. McMurry followed with a 6-2 conference record, losing only to Tarleton. Trinity was next with a 2-4-2 record. Austin College was fourth with a 2- 5-1 record, tying Trinity University, and Sul Ross was fifth with a 2-6 record.

It tends to have a psychological effect on the team that’s behind. Then again, it just might spur the other team enough to generate some points. That’s what appeared to happen to the Lobos the night Panhandle State University came to the Graves-Pierce Gym. Sul Ross overcame a nine-point halftime deficit to drop the Aggies 59-50. Shooting only 34 percent from the floor for the first half and staying cold during part of the second period, Alpine sophomore David Bynum, El Paso freshman Oscar Ortiz and Palestine freshman James White came off the bench to spark a surge in the Lobos’ offense with only seven minutes left in the game. Ortiz cornered two steals, and Bynum and White had one apiece out of the press to break the stiff Aggie zone defense which kept the Lobos shooting the long bomb all night. In the final five minutes, Sul Ross poured in 16 points to the Aggies’ five to take the win. El Paso senior Vic Flores led the scoring with 14 points, while another El Pasoan, sophomore Ricky Enriquez, dropped in 13. Bynum hit 12 points for the game, and Hempstead senior Mark Wendel hit 10 before fouling out mid-way through the last half. Flores led in rebounding with nine, Wendel and Ortiz each had seven, and Bynum and White both had five. The win over Panhandle State wrapped up the first half of the Lobos’ season, and posted a 5-3 record for Sul Ross. 106 sports Lobos trounce Tigers 82-57 The Sul Ross LeapirT Lobos trounced the Trinity Tigers 82-57 for their first conference win of the season. The 1979 match-up between the 1978 Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association co-champs was tight for the first eight minutes, with Trinity moving to an early lead. But mid-way through the first half, the fast Lobo press began to affect the Tiger offense, causing a number of turnovers. By intermission, the Lobos had scored 32 points to the Tiger’s 10 to move to a 44-24 lead. The Lobos came back hot in the second half, and by the end of the game, had increased the point- spread to 25. Guards Larry Richardson and Ricky Enriquez and forward Vic Flores all had 19 points in the win, and post Robert Sekal dominated the boards with 12 rebounds. As a team, the Lobos shot 48.5 percent from the floor, and 69.6 percent from the free-throw line. Richardson, Enriquez and Flores’ combined shooting percentages were 79 percent from the floor and 91 percent from the charity line. Sul Ross had 49 rebounds for the night, and Trinity only had 31. sports 107 Wayland slips by Lobos 77-71 If defense was hard to play, offense was even harder for the Lobos as they suffered their first home court loss of the season under the hands of Wayland Baptist College 77-71. The Lobos hit the floor cold, and Wayland showed that they had come to Alpine to win. Before the night was over, Wayland hit 65.4 percent from the floor and 82 percent from the free-throw line, while the Lobos could only manage 30 of 63 field goals and 11 of 17 free throws. The Lobos trailed most of the game, moving into the lead for the only time with 4:04 left on the clock. With the score standing 65-64, Sul Ross went into a stall, but lost the ball with about 2:30 left in the game. After that, it was no contest. Wayland went to the free-throw line four times and sank three field goals to put 13 points on the board to the Lobos’ six. Larry Richardson was the high- point man of the game with 20 points. Robert Sekal and forward Mark Wendel put in 16 points each, with Wendel leading in the rebounding column with nine. Vic Flores managed only 10 points in the game, 11 points off his normal shooting ave rage. Sul Ross once again dominated the boards, pulling down 35 rebounds to flie Pioneers’ 24. The game left the Lobos 7-5 for the year. 108 sports Lobos spur Texans 94-72 for TIAA win -r The Sul Ross Lobos blew Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association opponent Tarleton State University out of the Graves-Pierce Gym 94-72 to clinch their third conference win. Tarleton, winless going into the game, played the Lobos close for the first 10 minutes, but the Lobos started to pull away, mounting a 42- 34 halftime lead. In the second half, the Sul Ross press caused 13 Texan turnovers, virtually shutting down the Tarleton offense. In the game, Sul Ross placed five players in double figures. Senior forward Vic Flores led the scoring attack with 25 points. Sophomore guards Ricky Enriquez and Luis Lopez both had 16 points each, forward Mark Wendel hit 14 and guard Larry Richardson had 10. Sul Ross also dominated the boards, pulling down 55 rebounds to the Texans’ 33. Flores and Wendel had 12 rebounds each to lead in that column. The game placed the Lobos at 3-1 in conference action. sports 109 Cagers douse fiery Eastern team The scoreboard told the story. 100- 82. The Lobos had overcome the errors which had cost them an 84-74 conference loss to Tarleton State University on the Texans’ home court and put it all together to blast Eastern New Mexico University 100-82 in the Graves-Pierce Gym. Lobo head coach Chet Sample said the team came back from a 20- point deficit in the second half against TSU to close the gap to four points, “but we just made too many mistakes to win the game.” The game was Tarleton’s first victory in 18 outings. It was a different story on the home court against the Greyhounds of Portales. The Lobos held the New Mexico team scoreless for the first five minutes, mounting a 13-0 lead. Before the game ended with the 18- point margin, the Lobos had led by as many as 30 points. The victory avenged an 89-87 loss to the Greyhounds earlier in the season. Vic Flores once again led the team in scoring, hitting 12 of 15 from the floor and 3 of 4 from the free throw line for 27 points. He was followed by Ricky Enriquez who put 21 points on the board for Sul Ross. Other Lobos in double figures were Larry Richardson with 15, Mark Wendel with 14 and Robert Sekal with 11. Wendel led both teams with 12 rebounds, followed by Sekal with 8. The game left Sul Ross at 10-9 for the season. 110 sports Consistent play clinches 89-86 win over Austin “We’re playing consistently better than any team I’ve coached.” That is how Coach Chet Sample summed up his feelings as he watched his Lobos romp the Austin College Kangaroos 89-66 in a do-or- die conference situation. “It’s been mental errors which have cost us our nine losses this season,” Sample said. “We’ve lost five games by less than four points, and the rest by not more than 10, and these came from our own mental mistakes. We have had a chance to win each game we have played.” And the Lobos showed they could win as they moved to an early lead against Austin College and then out¬ distanced them by 23 points. Mark Wendel led the Lobos with 24 points. He also pulled down 12 rebounds. Vic Flores hit 15 points from his forward position and pulled in 13 rebounds. Guards Larry Richardson and Ricky Enriquez both hit in double figures with Richardson picking up 13 and Enriquez hitting 11. Sul Ross moved to 11-9 for the season and 4-2 in conference play with the win. sports 111 Enriquez leads attack on Indians Sophomore guard Ricky Enriquez poured in 30 points to lead the Sul Ross Lobos past league-leading McMurry College 76-74 to help the Lobos take another TIAA win. Sul Ross entered the game two games behind the Indians who were sporting a 6-0 conference record to the Lobos ' 4-2 mark. But, two of Enriquez ' s six free throws came in the last eight seconds of the game as he broke a 74- 74 tie and put the winning points on the board for Sul Ross. He hit 12 of 17 from the field and 6 of 6 from the charity line for a collegiate career high night in the scoring column. The Lobos mounted a seven-point lead mid-way through the second half just to see the Indians eat away at it, finally tieing the score at 70 apiece with 4:28 left on the clock. Lobo guard Luis Lopez went to the line with 3:39 left to put in both sides of a one-and-one free throw, but McMurry’s Ronnie Courtney evened the score again only seconds later. Enriquez put two more points on the board for Sul Ross with 2:54 left to play, but was answered by a field goal from Steve Mackey, tieing the score at 74-74. Sul Ross stalled the ball, working for the basket, but a McMurry player fouled Enriquez under the bucket, sending the winning points to the free throw line. Senior forward Mark Wendel hit 22 points for the night and pulled down 13 rebounds, leading both teams in that column. This was the first Indian loss in conference play, but the McMurry team was assured of at least a tie for the regular season conference crown. Sul Ross moved its record to 12-9 for the season and 5-2 for the conference, the second best in the TIAA. 112 sports Lobos bobble at tournament The McMurry Indians were not to be denied a place in the NAIA play¬ off berth, defeating the Sul Ross Lobos 81-67 in the championship match in the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association Basketball tournament in Abilene Monday and Tuesday. Sul Ross hit the floor cold in the final game of the tournament, managing only 14 points by the mid¬ way mark in the first half. McMurry, behind the double-digit scoring of guards Donnie Ray Cruse and Ron¬ nie Courtney, and forward Steve Mackey, continued to pull away from the Lobos, mounting an 18- point lead in the second half. The Lobos made it to the finals by defeating Trinity University Mon¬ day night 72-71, barely surviving last minute Tiger surge that saw three shots miss the basket in the final five seconds. Senior forward Vic Flores and sophomore guard Ricky Enriquez led the team in scoring picking up 35 and 28 points respectively for both games. For their performance, the two El Paso players were named to the five-member All-Tournament Team. Sul Ross moved to a season record of 14-10 for the first winning season in memory, missing a share of the conference title by only one game. The Lobos finished the year with a 6- 2 mark in conference title, second only to McMurry with 7-1. Before going into the last game of the tournament, Coach Chet Sample said, “I am very proud of the way the team has played this year, in fact, it is the best group of boys I have ever had the honor of coaching.” Sample said he had set three goals for his team this year. “One was to have a winning season, something that has not happened with a basketball team here for as long as anyone can remember; win the conference championship; and win a place in the NAIA play-offs. We missed the last two goals by just one game this year.” The Lobo Basketball Squad Members of the 1978-79 Lobo Basketball Team are, kneeling, Mike Morgan, Glen Stephens, Ricky Enriquez, Luis Lopez, James White, Larry Richardson; standing, Head Coach Chet Sample, Assistant Coach Bob Masells, David Tandy, Mark Wendel, Robert Sekal, David Bynum, Vic Flores and Assistant Coach Tommy Washington. sports 113 The Lady Lobos Basketball Team Members of the 1978 Lady Lobos Basketball Team are, kneeling, Caralyn Young, Rosella Tavarez, Delia Rodriguez, Ruth Taylor, Alicia Montalvo, Cindy Cowan; standing, Coach Jane Mattox, Rosella Celaya, Barbara Cande laria, Donna Raglin, Rosalinda Celaya, Karen Rogers, Mary Kay Kurie and Coach Tommy Washington. 114 sports Ladies drop opener with HSU 60-33 The Sul Ross Lady Lobos dropped their first game of the season to the Hardin Simmons Cowgirls 60-33. The women played HSU close for the first 10 minutes, going ahead 13- 12 with 10:17 showing on the clock. But the Ladies hit a cold spell and the Cowgirls got hot, scoring 19 unanswered points. With two minutes left in the first half, the Ladies started hitting, but the horn blew before they could make up any ground. The Ladies came back after the half behind 33-19, but were unable to put any scoring plays together, and HSU managed to build their lead to 46-19 before Sul Ross could score. Presidio freshman Rosella Tavarez, playing post, was the only Sul Ross player to hit in double figures, and she only managed 10 points. Charlotte Dennel led the Abilene team, pouring in 28 points for the night. She was followed by Linda Yates with 13. sports 115 Lady Lobos tumble to home losses Still seeking an elusive victory, the Sul Ross Lady Lobos dropped two more games at home, losing to Tarleton State University 83-30 and Trinity University 61-41. The women gave Trinity a run for their money during the first half, leading most of the way. At halftime, Sul Ross was only three points behind. However, Trinity came back in the second half and began to lengthen their lead, and the Ladies could not catch up. Sul Ross had no double-figure scorers in either game. For both games, Mary Kay Kurie led the team with 13 points and 17 rebounds. 116 sports sports 117 118 sports sports 119 120 sports Season ends on sad note for Lady Lobo Volleyball Team The season ended with a note of sadness for the Lady Lobos at the TAIAW State Championship Tournament as Sul Ross dropped four straight matches to end all hopes of advancing to the Regional AIAW Small College Tournament to defend their 1977 southwest regional title. The ladies fell to East Texas State, Trinity University, Mary Hardin Baylor University and Rice University to finish the 1978 season with a 17 win, 24 loss match record. Despite the gloomy season finale, the Lady Lobos’ overall performance had several bright spots. The ladies finished third at the Mid-Season TIAA Tournament at Stephenville, but beat all four conference schools at the Conference Tournament to force a three-way tie between SRSU, Trinity University and Tarleton State University. In a playoff series, however, the ladies fell to a third place spot. The predominately freshman team, which featured only two returning lettermen, did end the season with one tournament win under their belts. The Lady Lobos finished first at St. Mary’s University Invitational Tournament in San Antonio, beating all five teams entered in the contest. In other tournaments, the team finished third in the Texas Tech Round Robin Tournament and fourth in the team’s first home tournament. According to Coach Dolores Kramer, “It really was not a bad season for Sul Ross. We had many injuries, and all but two players were freshmen. But many coaches at many of the tournaments were amazed that college freshmen were playing as well as they did. They commented many times on their improvement and game composure as freshmen.” Five Lady Lobos were named to the All-Conference teams. Returning letterman Patsy Bustamante was a unanimous first team choice. Second team players were returning letterman Linda Isbell, sophomore, Nilva Rodriguez and freshmen Rebecca Granado and Wendy Phelps.

Maturity comes with age, but even more, maturity comes with learning from experiences and accepting responsibility. It is a natural process which continues through life, never reaching an apex, but growing and developing. Its application comes with wisdom and its value never diminishes. prosperity (pros per ' Y tY), n. Advance or gain in anything good or desirable; successful progress. A successful career is many times the motivation students have to push themselves through four years of college life. A prosperous future is the end product, though it may seem intangible at times. And while we attach monetary values to prosperity, we seldom look at it in terms of friendships gained, good times and bad, or the satisfaction of knowing you can complete a certain task. Self-confidence is one means of achieving prosperity. As Sul Ross experiences one prosperous year after another, it remains as a standard by which its students may gain and develop their confidence in what they can accomplish. qp future (fn ' tfr), « Time that is to come; that is to be or come hereafter; that will exist after the present. Ours is an age of complexity. The decisions you make as a college student are only a preparation for those which lie ahead. How you draft your future is a choice that is solely your own, and a product of what you have learned. brand staff Pat Weeks, Editor Christopher Stone, Photographer Joe Brininstool, Photographer Stephen John, Adviser AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY ' 5631776 acknowledgments Background effects on pages 10, 11, 82, 83, 98, 99, 134, 135, 158, 159, 182 and 183 used with permission , From Webster’s New World Dictionary, Compact School and Office Edition.
