The times have brought me to her broad base. Far above, her proud ze¬ nith glistens in the morning sun like a jeweled crown. Do I have the strength to challenge the mountain? Unconventional Wheels — Free-spirited Rene Towns takes a breather from her daily pilgrimage up the hill.

Action! — Communications major John Montgomery busily films the Baseball team’s debut. • • • and the Mountain I can only hope that I have the strength as I timidly begin my ascent. I find that the early going is easy, but my carelessness takes over and I fall. Her sharp stone rips at my flesh in an unmerciful warning. I am more ashamed than hurt. I’ve nev¬ er felt so alone and small. But the wind comes as music that soothes my frustra¬ tion and encourages me to go on. Mall Music — Bobby Elliott takes his music to the mall to play for passing students. Howdy — Wanda Dutchover and Bobby Burney enjoy a short visit while in route to their next classes.

And it’s away — Chuck Gomez puts one in play during the long-awaited exhibition game during Homecoming week. • • • as tradition goes In her own way;, she is a grand old lady. She has turned to face the elements and time in a battle that began millions of gears ago. Although she is scarred and worn, she remains a gracious hostess to the things that find life on her. She is rewarded with changes in her colors with each passing season. It is no wonder that she stands so proudly, and I feel an elation being a part of her.

As I take my leave, I hope that I have the naa-au TimE CAPSULE A yearbook, in so many ways, should serve as a time capsule. It is designed to suspend its respective year in time and serve as a perma¬ nent record. It should reflect its school with the uniqueness of the year. That is what we hope to have done with the 1984 BRAND. Twenty years from now we hope that this edition will bring back fond memories as you chuckle over how thin you were, or the outra¬ geous clothes and hairstyles. The fact that you even had hair might be amusing. If this book is to serve as a time capsule of sorts, it has to include several items that will jog our memories and show those after us what was important to us. Like college students everywhere, we were concerned with world politics. The pres¬ ence of our Armed Forces in Lebanon and Grenada made us somewhat uneasy. The Kama Kazi raids on our embassies and out¬ post frustrated us and pointed out our vulner¬ ability. The nuclear arms race escalated with the development of Pershing II missiles to Eu¬ rope. The clash between President Reagan and Soviet Prime Minister Andropov made the cold war’s temperature soar and the tele¬ vised program “The Day After” opened the world’s eyes to the consequences of a nuclear conflict. On the national scene, economic recovery brightened hopes. The emergence of the United States Football League gave us year- round football as the new franchises strove to spend more on players than the N.F.L. The Olympics looked to be a bright spot as far as sports were concerned. Los Angeles was to serve as the location of the summer games. The Presidential Campaign was one of the most exciting in years. The democrats ran no less than seven viable candidates against Ronald Reagan. The group included a former Vice-President, an ex-astronaut, and a Bap¬ tist minister. In 1983-84 the computer age was in full swing and children were teaching their par¬ ents how to operate home computers. The breakup of AT T and the comeback of Chrysler gave us a more conservative view of big business. The bigger they are, we found, the harder they fall. The automobile industry was waking up to the public demand and hopes were that the steel industry would follow the lead. Michael Jackson’s Thriller album set the music world on fire with his record shattering sales as music video invaded our lives. On the local scene, gas was as low as $1.11 for self served regular, while student fees saw a dramatic increase. The costs of textbooks sent us reeling as financial aid tightened. Baseball made a reappearance at Sul Ross after a fifteen year hiatus. The Rodeo team spent the year going after their third consecu¬ tive national title and the Football team stayed on top of the TIAA. The way we talked was a sign of the times as Valley Girl rhetoric made it possible to talk through our noses while not saying anything. Example: “Oh, like he is grody to the max, ya know . . . fer sure.” That came in handy for talking to people from out of town while re¬ laxing at the Chute 1 or the Stetson Club. Of course, all of these tidbits of information will only scratch the surface. It would be im¬ possible to cram all the memories in such a small space, but hopefully it is representative of the year. It is our wish that 1983-84 was filled with fond memories that will only be a few of many. 17 3 of the Hill Student life is for the living as we have discovered and there is more to it than classrooms and laboratories. It hasn’t been the stiff ho-hum we expected. Everyone always said that this would be the time of our lives, and to some extent, they have been right. Productive growth has always been a rewarding feeling, but so has hav¬ ing fun just for the sake of having fun. Both of these are necessary and it was hard to determine when one took precedence over the other. We all have set our own pace in the directions we have chosen. In 1984 we found that there were as many directions as there were peo¬ ple coming to and going from Sul Ross. There is a unique quality about Sul Ross and its students. We have dared to be different. We had to give up a lot of things to be where we were, but we have gained so much in return. Whew! Leslie Walzel and a friend take a break from the action during a horseshoeing assignment at the Leoncita Ranch. Student Life 19 Sul Ross doesn’t close for three months after the last final in May. In fact, it barely slows down. During the summer months, two semes¬ ters of courses are taught in addition to all of the special programs offered. This summer the enrollment figures were up over those in 1982. Many of the summer students are teachers from the area schools who continue their education in the off-season. The summer of 1983 was a good one for the Sul Ross rodeo teams. The men and women made their annual pilgrimage to Bozeman, Montana for the College Na¬ tional Finals Rodeo. The cowboys success¬ fully defended their national title while the ladies came away with third place. To top off the winnings, sophomore Suzi Wilkie was named Miss College Rodeo USA. The summer is also the time that the Theatre of the Big Bend cranks up at Ko- kernot Theatre. The troupe capped off their eighteenth season with The Cotton Patch Gospel. Summer ’tis the season for field trips. In 1983 the Chihuahuan Desert offered a great natural laboratory to under-dressed biology and geology students from all over the country. continued on the following page Miss College Rodeo USA — Suzi Wilkie, a sopho¬ more communications major and the 1983 Sul Ross Rodeo Queen, participated in the NIRA competition in Bozeman and won. National Championship Rodeo Team — Receiv¬ ing watches from Stacy Watson are Mark McKinley, Cody Lambert, Watson, Suzi Wilkie, Coach John Mahoney, Tuff Hedeman and Lynn Williams. Kneel¬ ing are Cody Carruthers and Ty Springer. Party time — The business department celebrated the graduation of several students with a party at Kokernot. 20 Summer recap Never a dull moment at the top Several Spanish-speaking students came from Mexico, Guatemala, and Ven¬ ezuela to have a go at English, which was taught by the Sul Ross Intensive Language Training Institute. Not everyone stuck around to be edu¬ cated by Sul Ross profs. Some took a tour of Western Europe with Wayne Sheehan to earn credit. The summers at Sul Ross are pretty laid back, even more so than normal. The camps, field trips and special programs offered give us a chance to have more fun with our learning and still be able to get in a few holes of golf before dark. Canal tour of Amsterdam — Members of Dr. Wayne Sheehan’s European study travel program spent three weeks in June on a tour of Europe. Geology Field Camp — Dr. Dave Mattison pre¬ pares field camp participants for a day at Woodward Ranch. A break from the classroom — Kim Hindes, a junior biology major, takes notes during a summer desert ecology field trip. Summer recap 21 22 Moving In Dorm life can be a hassle On August 24, Morelock, Mountainside, Lawrence and Graves-Pierce dormitories opened their doors to a barrage of both new and old students. Moving with astonishing agility, students loaded down with boxes, bags and a wide assortment of carry-alls, made their way down the halls to their home away from home. As dorm directors signed in the dwellers, RA’s spent their time finding rooms, introducing roommates and settling minor disputes. But living in a dorm was only one of the adjustments to be made after years, or even just the summer, of living off campus. Stu¬ dents had to deal with the fairly rigid rules and regulations of dorm life. Visiting hours caused confusion as students struggled to memorize the times. “It’s hard because you don’t think of the hours when you have visi¬ tors. It’s so easy to just run over to their dorm or have them come over to yours, that you don’t stop and think about whether or not you’re supposed to be there.” said Marisa Hernandez, freshman. Meal times were also a hardship to those accustomed to available kitchens. Christy York, political science major, found it difficult to plan her meals around her schedule “I never seem to have hours off that coincide with the cafeteria schedule. And I hate wait¬ ing in line for a meal only to find that it is something that I just can’t stand.” On the whole though, while moving in may have created some hassles for students, dorm directors and RA’s alike, life in the dorms eventually settled down to their normal level of chaos. Huff, Fuff, Gasp, Wheez — Jim Cruser and Steve Scott trek up the stairs at Lawrence Hall with their hands full. Where are they? — RA’s Shawn Tulk, Tissy Davis and Karen Talley wait for the crowds to show on opening day. Registration! Here’s my plan — DeEdra Lightsey and Laura Livingston visit during the fall registration process, waiting for their turn. What a tough schedule. Daddy! William Jackson, with a little help from his daughter, Erin, checks his packet before moving to the next stop. 24 Registration Enough to make your head spin Registration, that first step toward a col¬ lege education, is often one long blur. Al¬ though pre-registration has eased the hustle and bustle for some, the increased student enrollment has more than taken up the slack. Sometimes the trauma involved in the ac¬ tual registering is only the beginning. Sched¬ ule changes and late registering can really familiarize one with the Administration Build¬ ing. While the process might seem tedious, the Administrative offices at Sul Ross have main¬ tained an outstanding record of efficiency and professionalism as well as keeping a more personal relationship with the students. The fall enrollment was close to 1900 stu¬ dents and the registrar’s office kept track of and organized class cards and various other informations for all those students. And just when the students and administration were all set—Spring Registration! Easy does it — Darcy Harrington (center) and Alex Perez, at an early point in the registration line wait pa¬ tiently for their okays. Fixing those fees — One of the final stops before walking out the door “registered” is at the Fee Fixers. Petra Tucker totals up a set of fees. Registration 25 Mountain Paradises College housing has never been known as luxurious by any stan¬ dards. For most of us money is pret¬ ty tight so we generally settle down in something we can afford and not necessarily prefer. In 1983-84 housing, or the lack of it, was a major concern for Sul Ross students and administration. The University requires most underclass¬ men to live on campus. With renova¬ tion projects making several housing units unavailable, things got a little crowded. In some cases dorms had three students to a room. While the residence halls are not exactly spacious, they adequately house the student and all of his or her wordly possessions. Rent was cheap in the dorms. A student has a bed, a shower, and fifteen delicious meals at the cafeteria for as little as $1,050 a semester. Over a four- month period that comes to 240 meals and at least 120 hot showers for a cost of around $8.75 a day. Home sweet home — Mark Pavlovsky and Pat Tilton look as though they are trying to find something to hock to pay the rent. where we lived Even though the dorms were very economical many students couldn’t leave them fast enough. Some stu¬ dents were lucky enough to land one of the Brick or Rock cottages or an apartment in one of the four com¬ plexes that the University owns. Those who lived off campus lived in a very wide variety of housing arrangements. Some students rent¬ ed houses, mobile homes, apart¬ ments, and even tents. Generally cost were kept down by splitting the rent with roommates. Divided nine or ten ways, rent is cheap. A regular showplace — John McComb and Jeff Dietert rented this affordable beauty which offers a lovely view of passing trains. Honeymoon Heaven — The married stu¬ dent housing was very affordable for those struggling with families and school _ 26 Where we lived Where’s the white picket fence? The Brick cottages were in high demand for $150.00 a month. Looks like a hospital — Mountainside dor- mintory was the home of 336 students each semester. Rock and Roll — The rock cottages were cheap to build and cheap to rent at $165.00 a month. r Where we lived 27 J At the Peak of Perfection . . . where we studied . . . A college education does require a great deal of time in the classroom, but that isn’t all of it. So much of a Sul Ross education involves actual “hands on” experience. In 1983-84 the majority of Sul Ross students were involved in courses that make them more mar¬ ketable in the labor force. After all, we need a job to pay back all these student loans! Trend indicators showed that peo¬ ple were finding more available ca¬ reers in vocational areas and stu¬ dents jumped on it. The student vocational nursing program trained students for ca¬ reers in health care. The RAS courses were filled to overflowing, especially in the areas of farrier technology, meats technol¬ ogy and animal health technology. The Business Division stayed busy giving students actual experi¬ ence in the business world with sec¬ retarial and managerial training as well as the regular classroom courses. The Business Division teamed up with the Math Department to offer computer science as a minor for the first time. The Industrial Arts program at Sul Ross was even more popular than before, giving students the op¬ portunity to learn by doing. Voca¬ tional skills were practiced in weld¬ ing, wood working, drafting and auto mechanics, to name just a few. While one would expect lab courses in the more technical areas of study, they have also creeped into the Liberal Arts, Education and Sci¬ ence Divisions. Criminal Justice majors had the opportunity to intern with local law enforcement agencies, while stu¬ dents in Political Science were work¬ ing in several government agencies. Student teaching was one of the main activities for education majors. Field trips and laboratory re- _ search pulled science majors’ heads out of a textbook where the drawing never looked exactly like the real thing. Communication and Theatre ma¬ jors were always involved in produc¬ tion activities which went much fur¬ ther than just acting. There is a lot to be learned in the classroom, but it is of more benefit if it can be applied. Many young men and women enter the armed forces to get the experience they need to help them get a job, but we entered Sul Ross ... to set ourselves apart, in more ways than one. Desert ecology — Dr. A. Michael Powell, right, and graduate botany class members, Richard Pfeil and Larry Muhammad, stand¬ ing, check out yucca, ocotillo and lechugilla. - I can do it myself — assistance or in indus a horse leg or create a 28 Where we studied V, Laboratory courses give Sul Ross students “hands on” experience, whether it be in RAS courses like clinical trial arts courses like woodworking. Valuable skills are learned — how to handle an animal in an office, x-ray, wooden work of art. Get it on film — Dr. George Bradley, chair¬ man of the Communication and Theatre De¬ partment, and grad student John Montgom¬ ery film the baseball season opener in Octo¬ ber. r Where we studied 29 A Mountain of Talent . . . where we worked . . . On the SRSU campus there are a variety of jobs the students under¬ take. There are 296 authorized jobs on campus and the students often times seek jobs outside the realm of the SR campus. Todd Harvey, for instance, has taken on an orderly job at the Big Bend Hospital. He works forty hours weekly along with sixteen hours at Sul Ross. Todd admits that the job has taken time to get used to, but he hopes that by next semester he will be adjusted. Todd’s job in¬ cludes stocking, taking vital signs and helping patients. Todd said he has devised many new ways to strap people down. Todd also works in the nursery on occasion and he said that this was actually the calmest station he works with. Todd finds time to study around his 2:30 to 11:30 p.m. schedule and is very content with his position. Dale Parker is another student that works to help with his finances. Dale actually holds two jobs. He be¬ gins his week at around 6:30 a.m. every morning when he feeds the RAS horses and rodeo stock. Then after his seventeen hour work schedule, he finds time to break horses. At the present tiime Dale is breaking two horses for Johnnie Fitzgerald. Then Dale feeds the stock again at 5:30 p.m. Dale says his incentive to work stems from the fact that if he didn’t work, he couldn’t go to school. Dale is putting himself through school and makes truck payments as well. Dale admits that he likes his job and would do it regardless of need. One interesting job found by Den¬ nis “Yogi” Edward is that of door¬ man and bouncer at the Chute 1. Yogi said he has never actually had to “bounce” anyone but he has seen occasions of this happening. Yogi works on Wednesday and Thursday nights and uses the money he makes for the Tuesday night buffet at Pizza Hut and an occasional round of Star Wars at the arcade afterward. Yo¬ gi’s job also includes cleaning up beer cans after the club closes and commented that this was a good way to make some extra money. Yogi is a senior geology major with ten hours at the present. Some students choose to work in the area of their interest. Kellie McDaniel, for instance, works ev¬ eryday for KVLF, the Alpine radio station. Kellie is an active freshman at Sul Ross, yet finds time to work and take seventeen hours at Sul Ross. She says she either studies at night or during lunch. Kelly uses the money she makes to help buy her It’s all in the cards — Sandra Graves, Kim Moeller, Toni King and Kristi Landman sort out recruiting cards for Bob Hardin in the recruiting office. books. She plans to change her ma¬ jor from Political Science to Commu¬ nications and working at the radio station is good experience. She eventually wants to get into televi¬ sion broadcasting. Among the many employed at the college, Sandra Graves works for the Ex-Student Association un¬ der Bob Hardin seventeen hours a week. Sandra started at the end of last spring and has a variety of jobs. She stuffs envelopes for the student recruitment mailout, answers the phone and gives student tours. San¬ dra says she loves her job and her favorite part of the tour is the Sci¬ ence Building with its exhibits. The highlight of her tour used to be the snake until they moved it. Sandra is helping to put herself through school and says she has learned a lot about Sul Ross. On the job coverage — Roddy Wilder, pho¬ tographer for News Information, finds a way to travel quickly along the Homecoming parade route. 30 Where we worked And that’s the news — Kellie McDaniels, an Alpine freshman, works at the KVLF radio station daily. She wants eventually to do tele¬ vision broadcasting. Newspaper advertising — Leslie Wil¬ son, El Paso junior pays her way by solic¬ iting and preparing ads for the Sul Ross Skyline. Easy, girl. Dale Parker works with a colt at RAS, helping her grow accustomed to han¬ dling and ropes. Parker feeds the RAS horses and rodeo stock daily. r Where we worked 31 y Over Hill, Over Dale . . . where we played . . . There is a lot of work and worry involved in attending Sul Ross. The physical and mental strain of re¬ search papers, projects and endless examinations are the subject of some really touching “sob” stories. But when the research papers are done and the smoke clears from the tests, that’s when the fun begins. Fortunately for us, Sul Ross and the surrounding area are pretty good playgrounds. They offer us a lot of different things to do for re¬ creation. This year warm weather kept us flocking to the Big Bend and the Da¬ vis Mountains for outdoor recrea¬ tion. Camping, rafting, hiking, fishing and a dip in the Hot Springs were among the more enjoyable and eco¬ nomical activities we found. Of course, there was some hazard in¬ volved in subjecting ourselves to the wilderness, the most dangerous be¬ ing the sunburn and the drive home. Many Sul Ross students liked to rope and no four-legged creature was safe until it got too dark to hear. The sports-minded folks found the tennis, basketball and racquet- ball courts with little difficulty. In the spring it was hard to find a vacant softball field or a parking space in front of the Sul Ross pool. Who’s afraid of the big bad roof? The party-minded brigade could be found at the Chute, Stetson, Cross-Country, or the Crystal, where they checked their mail, danced and did laundry. Not all of the recreational activi¬ ties took place off campus. The Pro¬ gram Council sponsored movies, dances, concerts and comedy acts, and many other types of entertain¬ ment. Money generally determined what recreational activity a student would become involved in. Week¬ end plans for a skiing trip could sud¬ denly turn into a checkers tourna¬ ment with a glance at the bank bal¬ ance. Students were limited by other constraints in selecting a recrea¬ tional activity. Finals week was gen¬ erally pretty quiet and the question of legality sometimes arose. We all played in different ways and Sul Ross provided us with an opportunity to do our own thing, un¬ less doing your own thing was hang¬ ing out at a shopping mall. What’s up Doc? — Donna Langston (1.) and Jane Green (r.) dress up for a Halloween par¬ ty on campus. Thanksgiving fun — Chris Colon and Semy Silva made the most of the rare snow fall in Alpine. How much wood, would • • • More than 200 truck loads burned Oh, the pains we go to for a short-lived blaze of glory. It was worth it, though. The homecoming bonfire of 1983 was the best in years. The Clip and Brand Club saw to that. Once again the club greatly overshadowed all Bonfire winner again — The Clip N Brand club and their sponsor, Rene Villarreal (with shovel) raise center pole. They collected the most wood for the fire. The celebration begins — Bonfire tenders light the fire to signal the beginning of a weekend of football, parade, and homecoming fun. other competition in the Student Association bonfire contest. The crowd of Lobo well-wishers filled the Graves-Pierce parking lot on Homecoming Eve to fire the team up for their rematch with the McMurry Indians. The Lobo cheerleaders got things rolling as the flames rose higher and higher. The Lobo Marching Band, under the direction of Mike Hart, livened up the party with an upbeat set ending with the Lobo fight song. Players and coaches thanked the support¬ ers and explained that the upcoming game could mean another conference title for Sul Ross. The bonfire pep rally seemed to pay off as SRSU won 27-15. Bonfire splendor — Radiating energy, excitement and determination,the homecoming bonfire sets the pace for the 1983 homecoming celebration. 34 Homecoming Fight, Lobos, fight — No bonfire would be complete without the stirring music of the Marching Lobo Band, led by director Michael Hart. Pep rally fever — Head football coach, Ron Mays, calls for a win over the McMurry Indians and a TIAA confer¬ ence title. Homecoming 35 Puttin’ on the Ritz Marking the commencement of activities, the Homecoming parade filled Holland Ave. with an array of brightly decorated floats, beautiful queen contestants and high spirited spectators. But the parade was just the culmination of weeks of hard work. Senators from the Student Association set the event in motion. It fell to Chairman Robin Stevens and the parade committee to organize the details. First came the notifica¬ tions and float entry forms delivered to all interested groups. Then came the search for a suitable grand marshal and Dr. Earl Elam was selected. Parade judges were chosen from the Al¬ pine High, Junior High and Elementary Schools. The university police, the highway patrol and the local police were all advised of the route and permission was granted. New cars for the parade dignitaries were supplied by Haas Motor Company and Big Bend Ford. Then the real work began. Creative juices were flowing as clubs and organizations searched out their artists and Homecoming Winner take all — The Baptist Student Union not only dazzled the judges’ eyes to take first place in the float contest, they also sponsored the Homecoming Queen. Getting the show on the road — Dr. Earl Elam, parade grand marshal, and his wife, Eleanor, officially start the parade with drivers Kim Quinn and Katie Jokerst. Second place honors — The Newman Club, with their Homecoming Queen finalist, Ninfa Alvarado, shot for the stars and came close. Winning style — The Art Club lived up to their name, brightening the parade with a work of art and third place honors. Homecoming Parade began their float designs. Working with the theme “Take it to the Limit”, Lobos all over the campus looked for a creative and origi¬ nal idea. The contestants were not limited in their ideas and everything from rainbows to giant apes to tail wagging armadillos lined up to show off their stuff. The parade route began at the Chute and followed Holland Ave. to Jackson Field. While all the float entries showed origi¬ nality and inventiveness, the judges select¬ ed three winners. The Baptist Student Union, with its colorful rainbow and inspir¬ ing message, finished first. Following the BSU were the Newman Club featuring their Homecoming Queen contestant, Ninfa Al¬ varado, and the Art Club portraying King Kong’s famous climb. While the parade was for everyone in¬ volved with the Sul Ross University, for the students it was proof positive that there is no limit for the SR Lobos. Homecoming 37 Head and Shoulders You’re at the top of our list October 29 dawned a warm, sunny Home¬ coming Day, one of those pleasant late fall days for which West Texas is so well known. The day started with the parade down Hol¬ land to Jackson Field with Sul Ross students, ex-students and families and friends gathered for the match against McMurry. The half-time ceremonies featured bands from several area high schools and the crown¬ ing of Lisa Chandler as the 1983 Sul Ross Homecoming Queen. Lisa, sponsored by the Baptist Student Union, is a senior music education major from Sanderson and is well known at SR for her singing and acting abilities. She wanted very much to win and was thrilled to be chosen by Second runner-up — Nancy Moody, a sophomore criminal justice major from Alpine and a Sul Ross cheer¬ leader, and her dad wait for ceremonies to begin. Third runner-up — Ninfa Alvarado, a senior business major from Redford, and escort Danny Saenz collect her third place ribbon. Homecoming court — Crystal Roth, a senior account¬ ing major from Garden City, waits for the Homecoming Parade to begin. Homecoming Court — Kakai McElroy, a freshman communication major from Colorado City, is also feature twirler with the band. the student body for that honor. Lisa’s first runner-up was Cindy Minton, a senior accounting major from Devine. Second runner-up was Nancy Moody, a sophomore criminal justice major from Alpine. The court included Ninfa Alvarado, a senior general business major from Redford; Crystal Roth, a senior accounting major from Garden City; and Kakai McElroy, a freshman communica¬ tion major from Colorado City. 38 Homecoming Above the crowd 1983 Homecoming Queen — Lisa Jo Chandler re¬ ceives her ribbon from cheerleader Leslie Dunbaugh as her proud father watches. First runner-up — Cindy Minton and her escort receive her bouquet and congratulations from Homecoming officials. Homecoming 39 Standing Room Only In the fall semester, the theatre depart¬ ment tackled William Saroyan’s play, “The Time of Your Life” and came up with an unqualified success. The play, directed by June Compton and presented in the Studio Theatre, performed to sell-out audiences. The setting for the play is 1939, in a San Francisco bar. The show revolves around one character, Joe, played by John Harkness, who remains in the bar throughout the play as a variety of characters drift in and out. Joe’s main interest is his friend, Tom, played by Jim Sullivan, and Tom’s romance with Kitty Duval, played by Pam Hall. The underlying theme evident in Saroyan’s play is that without compassion, warmth and affection, life becomes sordid and meaning¬ less. I finally did it! Leo Magni, Jr., as Willie, one of the characters drifting through the bar, at long last beats the pinball machine. Aw, Ma! Do I have to? Mary Magni insists on a kiss from her son, Nick the bartender, played by John Gravagno. Using the old ingenuity — Kim Quinn, Lorene, draws the seam on Pam Hall’s stocking with eye brow pencil. No seamed stockings were available. 40 Theatre “The Time of Your Life” Don’t talk, just dance — Tom, (Jim Sullivan) at urging of his friend, Joe, gets up the courage to dance with Kitty Duval (Pam Hall). Last minute touches — Bill Henson works on his Kit Carson moustache before his drinking session on stage with Joe. Cast selections were made by audition. Fourteen male and nine female parts were filled. They were as follows: John Harkness — Joe, Jim Sullivan — Tom, John Gravagno — Nick, Pam Hall — Kitty, Robert Black — Harry, Jerry Escamilla — Dudley, Leo Magni, Jr. — Willie, John Vana — Newsboy, Martha Holder — Winnie, Joe Davis — Krupp, John Montgomery — McCarthy, Bill Henson — Kit Carson, Valerie Boering — Elsie, Kim Quinn — Lorene, Mike Ford — Blick, Mary Magni — Ma, Marianne Bertram — Lady, Pat Boyles — Drunk, David Woodward — Sailor, John Firestone — Arab, Sawyer Cornelison — Mary, Robin Brown — Killer, Donna Langston — sidekick.

Theatre 41 One day at a time At Sul Ross, students concentrate on a great variety of careers and extra-curricular activities. For Sul Ross’ vocational nursing students, the Big Bend Memorial Hospital became the year-long focus of their lives from August 1983 to August 1984, through the capping ceremony to graduation and the State Board of Vocational Nursing Test. The class of 11 students spent their first two months in the hospital classroom before moving onto the floor. The next ten months of training gave them the nursing experience and expertise they needed. The year also was one of working together, sharing successes and failures, and growing into a close-knit family group.

Coun¬ tries represented this year were Jordan, Pakistan, Iraq, Mexico, Spain, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, India, Ivory Coast, Greece, Bangladesh, Thailand, Great Britain, Nige¬ ria, Venezuela and Malasia. Students heard about Sul Ross from friends and relatives, and in Taiwan from the SR Ex-Student Association there. SR did not recruit abroad. Getting to SR was not always easy, with funding to organize, plus a passport and visa, and National Immigration Service approval for off-campus jobs. SR did not fund any for¬ eign students this year. Once at Sul Ross, there was the language barrier and a drastic change in diet. But many students persisted, and in doing so en¬ riched their lives and the lives of those around them. One way to acquaint others with their na¬ tional customs, the students discovered, was to give dinners at Kokernot Lodge. They in¬ vited friends and faculty members and spice of life shared with them their traditional dishes, holi¬ days, skills and films on their country.

International 47 Fashion at Sul Ross? There are various existing fashions found here. One of the most popular seems to be the “cowboy” look. Justin Ropers top this look with the long sleeve shirt or t-shirt and Wranglers. Some of us take part in the “preppy” style characterized by topsiders and polos. The fads and fashions are getting much more liberal. Brighter colors, stripes, checks, dots, and wild fashions are in this season. The clothes are beginning to get much shorter. Mini skirts and short pants are one example of this style. The one fad that has hit the country is the exercise syndrome. Aerobics is one popular means along with bike riding and jogging. Each of the exercises have the fashion to match. Cut up t-shirts hit the scene with Flashdance and jogging suits are a must. The one characteristic of the new fashion scene is not only the clothes but the accessories. The colored plastic earrings and beads are “in.” Shoes must also take part in fashion. The “Kaepa” tennis shoe seems to match everything. The sun glasses are changing shape these days. There is every shape and style one could desire. The hairstyles must also blend in with the “new fashion.” The ever popular “punk” cut is a popular existing fashion at Sul Ross. Everyone is hearing better nowadays due to this new cut. A few of us even have more than one existing color in our hair due to streaking and dyeing. We can’t go on without mentioning the hat. The two classic hats we see here at Sul Ross are the “cowboy” hat and the “baseball” cap. There are an abundance of fashions here at Sul Ross. Who knows where they begin or end, but we all seem to be “Prisoners of Fashion.” On the wilder side of style, we see the camoflage pants, brightly colored stripes, matching shades, collars up on shirts, and matching accessories. 48 Fashion These “preppies” climb into fashion with topsiders, blazers, knit and button down shirts and shades to top the look. These “cowboys” “pull” together a new trend of fashion with tennis shoes and hats with lowered brims. The accents of the belt buckle still exists along with shirts with the western yolk. The ever popular Justin Roper with wranglers tucked inside is one fashion at Sul Ross. These are a classic boot found on the feet of the “cowboy.” Shane Youngblood and Greg Darbro hit the bar scene with the feed cap, jacket, collared t-shirt and wranglers. Dawn Wisdom, Ann Reynolds, Kirk Glenn, and Cathy Gaffney, Sherry Kaspryzk, and Shawn Tulk Carin Lea exhibit the “Kaepa” tennis shoe look, bring in new fashions to the scene with bright along with the casual look of the t-shirt, cut-off accessories, the spiked heel and jeans, the new kind sweatshirt and jeans. of boot, and the belted long shirt. Get the message? Art Club members Donna Speers, Elizabeth Church, Lori Garcia, Melody Mock, Gavino Gonzalez, Scott Dodson, Robert Slight, Abel Acosta and Shannon Hudson sold Valen¬ tine carnations. What a hunk! Andy Andrews, former Saturday Night Live skit writer and comedian, entertained students with his hilarious humor and glimpses of his other side. Boredom chasers nCl e stands, silhouetted against a back II drop of classes, term papers and final JTTL exams, waiting to pounce on the bogged down but ever studious col¬ lege student. He has many names but most refer to him as Boredom and his favorite MO is to strike with speed and accuracy during the spring semester, those four long, bleak months of classes with only one little, tiny spring break to dent the monotony of campus life. Yet, there was a light at the end of the dark tunnel and it came in the guise of STUDENT ACTIVITIES! Sul Ross offered a wide variety of activities for the spring session. The Program Council started it off right with several entertaining acts. The Voltage Brothers, an 11-man band, electrified the audience. “They were fantas¬ tic!” said Chirsty York. “AQdience participa¬ tion was greater than I had seen it before. They were literally dancing in the aisles!” Country singing sensation Gary Morris and Andy Andrews who wrote Saturday Night Live skits offered other welcome breaks. But Sul Ross did not rely solely on outside acts to liven up the semester. Circle K spon¬ sored a Dance-a-thon, LAE held a womanless wedding and the Art Club sold valentine car¬ nations that “got the message across.” The Brand Dance was held and Brand King and Queen Scott Turner and Tissy Davis were crowned. One of the most fun of the events this spring was the “Just for the Hell of it Week,” where students held a mini fair on the mall. The cheerleaders held a “Thriller” pep rally to introduce the spring sports and gave away thriller albums and tapes. Adding a touch of class, the Thouvenal String Quartet per¬ formed for students interested in the classical rather than country. The Sul Ross area was also a treasure trove of places to go and things to see. Climb¬ ing excursions, repelling exercises and campouts as well as sabbaticals to Hot Springs grew more and more popular as the weather changed. And change it did. Ice storms, warm spells and baby blizzards kept the students guessing. Intramurals kept the hill in front of Moun¬ tainside busy as hopeful football, baseball and softball players and rodeo participants roamed the grassy plain. Whatever weapon students chose, they successfully battled back the Boredom spec¬ tre and STUDENT ACTIVITIES saved the day.

Music was provided by Whip Lash, a DJ out of Austin, which consisted of popular music. Robie Golden, Instructor of Mathematics, and Dr. Wayne Sheehan, Professor of History and former sponsor of the Student Associ¬ ation, were dignitaries for the event. Bobby Naff, assistant coordinator of student activi¬ ties, was the mistress of ceremonies. The evening was highlighted with the crowning of this year’s Brand King and Let’s Dance!

Class fa¬ vorites were also honored in the ceremony along with campus favorites which were se¬ lected by the student body. The honorees were presented charms and Hawaiian leis along with the traditional brand and crown for the King and Queen. The Brand Dance was traditionally started in order to raise funds for the Brand Year¬ book as well as honoring class favorites. At the present time the dance is given solely to honor students and provide entertainment. The Brand Dance is sponsored by the Stu¬ dent Association.

The HI years of study and strife is put to 111 test. For some of them, travel III awaits in the wings and others al¬ ii! ready have jobs in lines just await- !!| ing a recipient. Before the student partakes in the sweet taste of freedom from |||| the bondage of the books, he must HI make rather important decisions. I|| Here at Sul Ross we have a means HI of helping students get set for the III years ahead. For the education III majors at the office of Mr. Bob III Hardin, otherwise known as the Placement Office, students are able to seek interviews and find job opportunities. As many as fourteen Independent School Dis¬ tricts have come through this office throughout the year interviewing about 320 students. This does not count many over the phone place¬ ments that take place. This brings about a new look for many seniors that are trying to impress their pro¬ spective boss with suits and dress¬ es, a strange sight to see here at Sul Ross. For other graduating majors the road to employment may be sought in various ways. For instance, Animal Health Technology Major Laura Smith plans to seek employment with a vet in South Lake, Texas. Other students in this field may go on to better their education more and receive a Master’s. The roads in this field of R.A.S. that one may choose are quite end¬ less. Some students may go on to become Ferriers, Animal Nutri- tionalists, Vet School Students, general ranchers, or professional rodeoers. For the students in the field of Geology the road to oil and petro¬ leum could be ahead. Another field going into the world will be the business majors. Charlie Stodghill, a May graduate, plans to go on to graduate school. The Business Major has a variety of options also. He may set up his own business or work for another business or become an entrepre¬ neur. The choices ahead are in vast : array for the graduating Senior. I One might say that he is being set ' forth into a jungle of opportunity. We can’t forget those who end up working as encyclopedia sales¬ men, garbage men, and ditch dig¬ gers. We can never say that once we’ve reached the senior level that we will remain at that peak of ex¬ citement. However, the graduates turned loose each semester and must face that choice that awaits he or she for planning of the rest of their life. What now?! Graduate student Mike Daniels, at his May ’83 graduation, wonders what his future has in store for him. 54 After graduation SUMMER RjrSMX □ can have fwschfxji capped up.

After graduation 55 ★ Grace y L the Hill Sul Ross students and faculty were quick to recognize special ef¬ forts and qualities among the ranks. We bestowed honors and rewards in appreciation of a “job well done.” This year, many Sul Ross stu¬ dents and faculty members were honored on the local, state and na¬ tional levels. We were recognized for outstanding achievement even be¬ yond the confines of the campus. Initiative, talent and personality are only some of the qualities that we held up for public praise and rec¬ ognition. Unfortunately, while many efforts were unrecognized, that does not mean that they were not appre¬ ciated. Every true talent, effort and accomplishment eventually receives the grace that it is due.

She transferred from Tennessee Temple University to Sul Ross where she majored in music. Involved in many activities such as the Music Club, Choir, Flag Corps, and BSU, Chandler was still able to distinguish herself academically. Not only did she make the Dean’s list every semester, she was a member of Alpha Chi and Sachems and received the Outstanding Music Student Award. She also was given the Distinguished Young Woman of America Award. Out of the 27 contestants running Chan¬ dler and five other finalists were selected. Sponsored by the BSU, Chandler found the contest a novel experience. “It was fun, something that I’d never done before or would get a chance to do again.” “Being selected Homecoming Queen was an honor. It gave me a chance to represent a school and an organization which mean a lot to me. I’ll always remember it.” said Chan¬ dler. We did it!

Dean Posey and President Richardson look on. Homecoming Queen is not a title that is bestowed lightly by the Sul Ross student body. As an honor it stands for respect, ac¬ complishment and recognition in the eyes of her peers. It is a coveted title that rewards a student for her dedication to her studies and to her school. As the 1983 Homecoming Queen, Lisa Jo Chandler’s scholastic and ex¬ tra-curricular activities more than justified her selection.

Queen candidates were judged on horsemanship also. Dawna Parrot, this year’s Rodeo Queen is originally from Midland, Texas. Dawna was active in Midland Christian High School and graduated their valedictorian. Dawna also has an active history in the horse field. She began at age nine showing horses and from the year 1977 has won var¬ ious horse shows. She began AJRA running barrels in 1982 and began college here at Sul Ross the same year and NIRA. Dawna is a Business major minoring in Communications. She will be a junior as of January, 1984. When asked why Dawna ran for Rodeo Queen here at Sul Ross she said, “I wanted to meet new people. I thought it would be a good way to represent the school and encour¬ age people to come to Sul Ross. I wanted to represent the school at Miss Rodeo Texas and at Bozeman for Miss College Rodeo. I got a big push from Suzie Wilkie, Miss College Ro¬ deo, 83-84. I am looking forward to an excit¬ ing year as Miss Sul Ross and hope to do my job beneficially.” When asked about future plans for rodeo, Dawna stated, “I will continue to rodeo and show horses as long as I can.” r Rodeo Queen 61 4984 Sfruwicl fJixjSt du wie i emu Sophomores Campus Jack Thompson Sheri Thee Freshmen Jene Wilton Dawn Luck Juniors Will M.

They gave us space to reach out beyond the classrooms for the more social side of learning. With over forty active student or¬ ganizations in full swing this year, it was hard to find a student who wasn’t involved in at least one. These organizations brought people together to discuss academically re¬ lated subjects; to pursue special in¬ terests; to make university policy; to honor outst anding achievement and to encourage leadership and partici¬ pation. The next several pages highlight the student organizations of 1983- 84, showing the varied activities that they sponsored this year. Doe: a deer— The university choir polishes up for a fall concert. Organizations 71 TRADITION A stance at the top Tradition is a concept that explains why a certain society, group, or school can stand at the top. Tradition keeps alive the spirit that leads to excellence and a steady stance at the top. Tradition is the essence from which greatness springs; it is the ideal which gives a school the strength to continue upward. Sul Ross is a school with tradition. SR traditionally awards academic ex¬ cellence. The Sul Ross Women’s Organiza¬ tion gives a $200 scholarship each semes¬ ter, this fall to Crystal Roth, this spring to Cindy Minton. At the April awards ban¬ quet, scholarships were awarded and the Man and Woman of the Year announced. At the April theatre awards banquet, win¬ ning performances from spring theatre productions were honored. Bucket brigade — Bobbie Naff, assistant director of student activities, joins in whitewashing the rocks of the Bar-SR-Bar on Sul Ross hill. This year Phi Beta Lambda members distinguished themselves in business skills competition, and RAS judging teams ex¬ celled in area meets. We were proud. Sul Ross traditions were not confined to academic endeavors, but extended into fields of admiration as well. Twenty-seven girls ran for Homecoming Queen and six for Rodeo Queen. Campus and Class Fa¬ vorites and Brand Queen and King were chosen. The Spanish Club selected a Fies¬ ta Queen during Mexican-Heritage Week, and beaux and sweethearts were honored. They were our best.

TRADITION Hats off to the tops Each year at Sul Ross, clubs compete for top prize in a number of contests. Dur¬ ing the football season, clubs tried to cre¬ ate the most original and attractive break¬ through. The innovative Art Club took the first place trophy. At Homecoming the race was on for the most elaborate and eye-catching float, in keeping with the theme “Take it to the Limit.” The Baptist Student Union took home the $75 cash award for best. For the Homecoming bonfire, the Clip N Brand maintained their yearly position at top, by once again hauling the most loads of wood to the bonfire. The center pole they added made the ’83 bonfire the best looking one in years. The Range and Wildlife Club sponsored their annual Turkey Shoot, attracting many area participants. On the intramu¬ ral circuit, sports meets of every type kept the gyms and athletic fields busy with weekday afternoon and night competi¬ tions.

TRADITION In top spirits In addition to school-sponsored events, Sul Ross students cherished many other popular after-school traditions. The Wednesday night parties at Chute 1, the ghetto parties, and the pilgrim¬ ages to the Hot Springs in the Big Bend National Park all drew an enthusiastic re¬ sponse. Camp outs, hiking in the park and float trips on the Rio Grande were the highlights of many weekends. And a trip to the infamous Terlingua Chili Cook-off certainly added spice to Sul Ross life.

The Thanksgiving season was marked with a turkey hunt sponsored by the “Skyline.” A turkey was hidden on campus and clues given in the paper. Kent Reese won the “I found Gallopavo” T-shirt. For Christmas, the Student President’s Association sponsored a Door and Office Christmas Decoration Contest and award¬ ed plaques and trophies for the best en¬ tries. Many offices held open house with punch and goodies. The Mask Slipper Club brought Santa to the Student Center Ho, Ho, Ho!

With music blaring and girls in baggy sweats jumping left and right, one might be forgiven for not associating them with the organized and disciplined troop of cheerleaders that appeared at the football games in the fall. But they were one and the same. Devoting several hours each week to practice, the Lobo cheerleaders did more than just cheer in the fall. The 1983-84 squad began their year in July by attending cheerleading camp in Dallas. They emerged with several superi¬ or ratings and first place all around. They also sponsored a training clinic for junior high and high school cheerleaders in the area. To finance their many activities, they sold Cheer-o-grams and arranged with area businesses to receive ten cents a point at every home football game. With that deal alone, they raised six hundred dollars. The cheerleaders also held two major pep rallies for the spring and fall sports. They made a point to support the neglect¬ ed tennis, track, golf and rodeo teams as well as the football, basketball, volleyball and baseball teams. But whatever they were doing, when it came to spirit, the SR cheerleaders gave new meaning to the words “At the top of the hill” Sul Ross Cheerleading Squad — Bottom row: Kathy Kish, Kathy Gaffney, Nancy Moody.

The question on ev¬ eryone’s mind was “What can we do to make money?” It was the answers to this question that made 1983-84 an interest¬ ing year. Money making projects ran the gamut from a BSU Rock-a-thon to a Range and Wildlife Club Turkey shoot. Some clubs stuck with the tried and true methods. Circle K, a new organization this year, raffled a ghetto blaster at a dol¬ lar a ticket and PBL offered chances on an Atari Home Computer. TCA held a 25 gallon gas give-away and SGE sponsored a Safeway Gift Certificate contest. Both raf¬ fles aimed for the more needy student. Wesley, BSU and TCA held carwashes at the beginning of the year, but Circle K varied this theme slightly and held a car bash instead. Branching out into the more experimen¬ tal methods of money making, the Art Club incorporated its interest in art with its attempts to make money and competed in The Run Through and Homecoming Float competitions. Several clubs held bake sales in the SUB. But regardless of their methods, it was apparent that when it comes to making money, the sky’s the limit. Bullseye?

HAPPitoESS Sul Ross Wesley Center, PROJECTS While the question of “What can we do to make money?” is a common predica¬ ment for most organizations, the question of “How do we spend it?” doesn’t seem to be a major problem. Star gazers belonging to Aster Kometes made regular pilgrimages to the Mc¬ Donald Observatory as well as the Sul Ross observatory. The Range and Wildlife Club put their hard earned money into a pot and attended the Wildlife Student Conclave in Rapid City, South Dakota. Delta Tau Alpha attended their national convention in March, and the Student As¬ sociation for Black Unity celebrated their money-making successes with a Mistletoe Dance at Christmas. The Forensic Society earned money to finance their trips to competitions in debate, prose and poetry in Arkansas and Oklahoma. Most clubs worked to earn money to give them freedom to pursue their inter¬ ests. And it was these interests that forti¬ fied individuality as well as originality of a club.

Money making and spending are two of the primary projects of an organization. But oft times these projects are put aside in order for a club to pursue its actual goal, the real reason these people have joined together ... to have fun! Clubs are made up of students who share similar interests and who want to use these interests in a way that will be captivating as well as beneficial. The Wil¬ derness Society held a mountain climbing clinic where they taught the basics of scal¬ ing and repelling. The Spanish Club spon¬ sored a Mexican Heritage Week with a banquet, well-known Hispanic speakers and a Spanish play. The week ended with the Fiesta Pageant and the crowning of the Fiesta Queen. Student prowess was dis¬ played at the Open House held by the I.A. department and the Biology Club spon¬ sored a barbecue for visiting scientists and students attending a Chihuahuan Desert seminar. The variety of projects that campus or¬ ganizations indulged in were limitless. No matter the motive, the ideas were creative and in a way, a testimonial of the individ¬ uality of Sul Ross.

Under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Michael Hart, Marisa Hernandez took up the position of drum major. Consist¬ ing of only 48 members, the band spent much of their time in rehearsal but did not limit p their performances to half-time shows. They played in parades in Presidio and Alpine as well. The changes in leadership did not cause major problems. “The sound was quite differ¬ ent when compared to a larger band, but the smaller one allows more freedom in direc¬ tion” said Hernandez. As drum major, she conducted the band during performances. “Being a freshman makes working with the band a little difficult, but its challenging.” The six member flag corps was also a big part of the show. During the season, they could be found out on the field practicing intricate routines for seven or eight hours a week. “We began the season with two girls who had never performed flags before. We improved so much that we hated to stop.” said member Pam Hall. While the changes might have caused some minor problems, the band was able to change their theme to “A Touch of Class.” Welcome! Michael Hart, new band director at Sul Ross prepares to direct the mass bands at this year’s Home¬ coming halftime ceremonies.

Sometimes it is for sharing a special inter¬ est, or for student representation. More often than not, it gives members a chance to get together for fun. And sometimes, clubs take it upon themselves to sponsor service projects that benefit many more than their own members. The Program Council sponsored a fall and spring blood drive and encouraged clubs to compete for the most pints given. The winners’ names were engraved on a plaque in the Student Activities Office. The Baptist Student Union helped bring a little cheer into the lives of residents at Valle Hi Nursing Home, sharing their songs and music with them. Circle K joined forces with Alpine High School Youth Against Cancer members and sponsored a Dance-A-Thon to benefit the American Cancer Society. The Wesley Center also sang for Valle Hi residents. They put together a food basket for a needy family at Christmas and helped build a swing set at Kitty Bank, the Methodist Church’s day care center. Wesley Center members fasted for hun¬ ger and with sponsors for each meal missed, they collected money for the World Hunger organization. Clip N Brand hosted the 4-H and FFA Livestock Judging contest this year. Hard work and determination were passwords for these clubs that put service at the top of their list.

Service Serving the students on campus is often an interesting and even a rewarding goal for an organization. But there are a few clubs that devote many hours to serving the community as well. The Newman Club, which holds ser¬ vices and counseling sessions for the mem¬ bers of their organization, instituted a new program of ministry to the elderly and the shut-ins of Alpine. Circle K, a branch of the Kiwanis Club, volunteered their ser¬ Adopt a smoker — Kathy Genuske stands by ready to give Karen Tipton moral support for a day of not smoking on Nov. 17, the Great American Smoke-out. vices to the Health Fair held in the Alpine City Hall and ran films about topics rang¬ ing from cataract surgery to wife and child abuse. They also participated in the Great American Smoke Out and helped orga¬ nize and present the “Chemical People.” Dedication is a motto that many of these service clubs lived by, both dedica¬ tion to Sul Ross and the community of Alpine. They were willing to give the time and effort needed to reach for the sky.

It is one that requires strength, individuality, and the ability to work with people. Some are born with the leadership quality and breeze through life with authority at their fingertips. But some need to be nurtured and instructed. At SR, there are several organizations whose express purpose is to do just that. Freshman Leadership was a scholar¬ ship program offered to freshmen who had just emerged from high school life. It helped in their transition and exposed them to clubs that would build up leader¬ ship techniques. Four FLP members were senators with SA, one was a member of the meat judging team and one served with the Alpine Volunteer Fire Depart¬ ment. Students also learned leadership abili¬ ties in their own fields of interest. SGE Do it this way — SR cheerleaders Nancy Moody and Mary Cabral give personal instruction to Jr. High cheerleader Mindy Nelson during August training camp. Review — Assistant coach Bonnie Noel (center) re¬ views with livestock judging team Jenny Angelo, Judson Walker, John McComb, Bill Hornick and Jes¬ se Bolner. brought in speakers who spoke to mem¬ bers on topics from management to geo¬ logical techniques. Leaders in the literary field were honored by Sachems, which of¬ fered scholarships to outstanding stu¬ dents. Leadership ability is one that enables a student to reach to the top of his ambitions and at SR there is no mountain too high for aspiring leaders. Training session — Anita Ramirez, Scheryl Beau¬ champ, Charlie Wolf, Louisa Benavidez, Camilla Asher and Katie Jokerst attend Program Council training. Leadership 95 Leadership Leadership associations at Sul Ross do more than just provide assistance for as¬ piring leaders. Many support the student body and provide for their needs. The Residence Hall Association was set up so that students could have a say in the way the dormitories were run. Led by stu¬ dent RA’s, the RHA met every two weeks to discuss the grievances of students. There was also a food committee that at¬ tempted to incorporate student tastes into the cafeteria menu. One of the major Leadership Organiza¬ tions on campus was the Student Associ¬ ation. Made up of students representing every major and class at SR, the SA was responsible for many activities. It was the SA that organized the Homecoming events, from the bonfire to the dance and were responsible for the Brand Dance as well. It was a committee of student senators who met to discuss the $30 hike in Student Center fees, and the SA introduced “The Chemical People”, a program designed to combat drug and alcohol abuse. With organization, agility and dedica¬ tion, the leadership associations on cam¬ pus proved to students that when it came to climbing mountains, Lobos were lead¬ ers of the pack. Which one will it be — Dave Swanson, News Information photographer and lab technician, checks the latest strip of negatives developed.

For an audience this is a time of anticipation and high expectations, but for the performers on stage, it is a culmination of months of memorization, concentration and adapta¬ tion. This fall the theatre department put on the play “The Time of Your Life” by Wil¬ liam Saroyan and in the spring a series of one-act plays directed by students. But performances of this magnitude do not simply come about without help. This is where organizations like Mask Slipper and Alpha Psi Omega come in. Alpha Psi is a fraternity that honors theatre students who have put on outstanding perfor¬ mances in their field. The Mask Slipper Club allows students, theatre majors or not, to be involved in theatre production. This year they held a puppet show for kids at the Fall Fest and offered big kids a chance to get their pictures taken with Santa at Christmas. They also sponsored the annual Theatre Awards Banquet and handed out Katies to the best actor, ac¬ tress and play. While “break a leg” is a slogan that most people connect with the theatre world, it is apparent that through the ef¬ forts of organizations like Alpha Psi Ome¬ ga and Mask Slipper, “Take it to the top” was more applicable. Theatre tryouts — Art Cohan and Laura Canute- son watch auditions for the fall production of William Saroyan’s “The Time of Your Life.” Practice session — Bassoonists Julie Wilson, a Marfa High School junior, and Vicky Ellis, a SR soph¬ omore from Alpine, play at orchestra practice.

Performances The word performance usually brings to mind actors on a stage, but at SR many types of performers were in the public eye. There were band concerts, half-time shows, orchestra concerts, choir concerts and senior recitals. The rodeo team per¬ formed at the fall NIRA rodeo in Alpine and the spring event in Ft. Stockton. Stu¬ dents working in Student Publications pro¬ duced the yearbook, a weekly newspaper and a literary magazine. Communication majors produced “Campus on Review” television shows and several commercials. All in all, Sul Ross performers kept their school at the top of the chart.

Race of the Hill Jessie Owens, the heralded sprinter, coined the phrase, “Don’t look back_something might be gaining on you.” During the 1983-84 year, Sul Ross teams did not look back to live off past glory. The Rodeo teams once again took off toward a national championship while the football team shared a conference title. The Lady Lobos maintained their domi¬ nance in volleyball while the new baseball program jelled to make an impressive debut. The basketball, track, golf, and tennis teams fought hard to main¬ tain the winning tradition that is Sul Ross. The following pages show and tell the year of sports at the top of the hill.

Ron Mays, the Lobos’ defen¬ sive coordinator for the four pre¬ vious years took over the head coach’s slot. Dennis Carpenter got the nod as offensive coordina¬ tor and quarterback Coach Ray DeSpain became the line coach. Carpenter and DeSpain had served as graduate assistant coaches before taking the full time positions. The Lobos returned 27 lettermen and 13 starters, including two honorable-mention All-Americans for 1982. While this eased the coaches’ problems somewhat, they found several holes that needed to be filled. The most important of these was to find a new starting quarterback, something the Lobo coaching staff had not done in four years. As the year got under way, Senior Tommy Holmes and Sophomore Gilbert Moroles shared the duties of field boss. The opening kick-off for the Lobos in 1983 came at Jackson Field with Baptist Christian College. The Logo 71-member squad ripped through BCC 66-0, breaking several records. While the Lobos looked strong in many ways there were still a lot of adjustments to be made before the Lobos took on sixth rated Pan Handle State in Goodwell, Oklahoma. The Lobo defense shut down the PSU Aggies, but the SRSU Scholarship violations and television lawsuits have tarnished college football. They’ve turned it into big business. What ever happened to the student athlete that played for enjoyment and school spirit? Many of them came to Sul Ross to play without the money. This is where ... Pride Still Reigns In 1983 offense could not capitalize on the good field position and the Lobos suffered their first loss of the season by a 10-6 decison. The only SPU touchdown came when an Aggie defensive back stole a pass and raced 95 yards for the deciding touchdown. Holmes hit Lobo running back Mike Hawly from 10 yards out for the SR score, but Creek’s PAT failed. PSU put the contest on ice with a 34-yard field goal in the closing seconds of the game. The Lobos entered the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association Conference title race against the Tarleton Texans in Stephenville in late September. Morale was lower than an ant’s belly button on the trip back home from Tarleton. Playoff 4 Members of the 1983 TIAA Champion Lobos include: Mike Hawley, Steve Hummel, David Creek, Frank Fryer, Wayne Thorp, Gilbert Moroles, Enrique Bazan, Todd McVey, Raul Chavarria, Henry Paige, Wade West, Obie Leal, Tommy Holmes, Oscar En riquez, Tim Wightman, Sam Collins, Lawrence Green, Vincent Hodges, Joey Caceres, Andrew Hill, Greg Fore, Brent Rowell, Edmund Villareal, John Lewis, Steve Cox, Carl Lee, Benny Granger, Benny Beal, Hollis Durham, Marcel Clay, Andy DuBose, James Justice, Kent Hawthorne, Sterling Harmon, David Silva, Ray DeLeon, Steve Scott, Rene Cortinas, A1 Puente, Eddy Sanchez, Pat Boutwell, James Green, George Gomez, Kirk Remmers, Joe Garza, David Mancuso, James Day, Mark Pavlovsky, Tom Homrighaus, Chuy Martin, A1 Flores, Fred Lozano, Juan Martin, Oscar Marroquin, Nason Melton, Bradley Ellison, Pat Tilton, Charles Farnsley, Todd Robinson, Burnett Williams, Kevin Taylor, and Rudy Cantu.

Once again the offense stumbled but return specialist Henry Paige took a punt reception 68 yards for the only Lobo touchdown and a second quarter lead. SRSU extended the lead to 10 points seven minutes later when David Creek connected on a 33- yard field goal. The Lobo defense held until the second half, when Tarleton drove for their two game-winning touchdowns. The following week at McMurry, the offense looked much better, but the Lobos once again gave up a first half lead to drop a 20-17 decision to the Indians. The road-weary Lobos finally returned home to Jackson Field to meet the Austin Co llege Kangaroos for their third TIAA Conference Match-up. The offense finally shifted into high gear as the Lobos rolled past Austin College 21-0. The Lobo defense, rated third in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Division II, held the Roos to only 28 steps on the ground and 51 through the air. The offense finally showed that they could roll up some yards and get into the end zone. The Lobos got 231 yards and two touchdowns off the arm of sophomore quarterback Gilbert Moroles and 117 yards rushing from no less than seven backs. The big win over Austin College was the big turn around for Coach Ron Mays’ young club.

There was no doubt that the Lobos were ready for a rematch with the Tarleton Texans when the second half of Conference play began. The Lobo defense held TSU to only ten points while the Lobos rolled in a total of 34. Spirits ran high during Homecoming week. The Lobos were set for a rematch with the McMurry Indians. Austin College had pulled off a surprise win over the Indians the week before. If the Lobos could ship McMurry they could tie for a conference title. A hard-hitting Lobo defense took the ball away from the Indians seven times and the offense managed to capitalize. The Lobos walked off the proud winners of the 27-15 contest. Momentum took the Lobos to Sherman for the final game of the season with Austin College. When the smoke cleared from the hard-fought contest the Lo¬ bos had the upper hand 17-3. The win put the Lobos at 5-3 on the year with 4-2 in Conference for their fifth consecutive win¬ ning season and a co-champion¬ ship in the TIAA. It would have been easy for the Lobos to lay down after suffering two consecutive conference losses; but the team was made up of winners not losers. A tradition of winning and never giving up saw the Lobos through a period of read¬ justment. Our congratulations to the coaching staff and the players of 1983. No pain, no gain — Quarterback Gilbert Moroles gets first down the hard way against McMurry. 110 Football Tower of Power — running back An¬ drew Hill turns upfield for another first down against TSU in a rematch. Touchdown! — Mike Hawley gets the upperhand against McMurry. The Moroles-Hawley connection brought the Lobos back to a championship. All-Conference, All-District Lobos The Sul Ross State University Lo¬ bos placed five players on the Na¬ tional Association of Intercollegiate Athletics District 8 football team, two on offense and three on defense. Offensively, senior wide receiver Mike Hawley and senior fullback An¬ drew Hill were named to the honor squad. Sophomore free safety Frank Fryer, senior tackle Hollis Durham and senior cornerback Henry Paige received defensive honors. Hawley was the leading receiver in the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, pulling down 40 catches for 672 yards and seven touch¬ downs. That gave him a 16.8 yard average on each catch and an 84- yard average each game. Hill was the sixth leading rusher in the conference. He carried the ball 82 times for 287 yards and one touchdown. He averaged 3.5 yards per carry and 35.9 yards per game. Fryer led a Lobo defense that fin¬ ished the season ranked No. 2 in the nation in NAIA Division II. He fin¬ ished the season as one of the top tacklers in the conference with 48 solos and 17 assists. He had six pass interceptions, returning them for 70 yards and one touchdown for the top spot in the conference. Fryer also had six pass deflections and two fum¬ ble recoveries. Durham was converted to defen¬ sive tackle after lettering two years for the Lobos at reserve fullback. He came into his own midway through the season and was instrumental in the Lobos’ late season success. He finished the season with 26 solo tack¬ les and 11 assists. He was second in quarterback sacks with six, had two fumble recoveries and one pass de¬ flection. Paige finished the season as one of the top return specialists in the TIAA. He was fn i in punt returns with an 11.2 yard average and sec¬ ond kickoff returns with a 28-yard average. From his cornerback posi¬ tion, he had 15 tackles, six assists, two pass interceptions and nine pass deflections. In conference honors the Lobos placed seventeen players. Gilbert Moroles was a unanimous choice at quarterback and was joined on the first team offense by Mike Hawley at wide receiver, Andrew Hill at full¬ back, and Pat Boutwell at guard. First team defense went to Frank Fryer who received Defensive Play¬ er of the Year at his free safety slot. Fryer was joined by defensive tackle Hollis Durham, linebacker Carl Lee, and cornerback Henry Paige. Lobos named to the second team All Conference included Bennie Beal at runningback, Steve Hummel at re¬ ceiver, Burnett Williams as tight end and Steve Scott at center. Defensive¬ ly, Rudy Cantu was picked at nose guard and Wayne Thorpe at corner- back. Last but not least Ron Mays was named Coach of the Year. Football ill First team in 15 years opens in Kokernot field Baseball returns Baseball returned to Sul Ross this Spring, after being on hiatus for the past fifteen years. As with any new program, Base¬ ball had to begin from scratch, build¬ ing the team from incoming fresh¬ men and junior college transfers. The first exhibition game actually took place as a Fall Homecoming Festivity, matching Sul Ross up against New Mexico State. Sul Ross experienced a split bill as several hundred spectators turned out for an afternoon at the ball park. For the season opener on Feb. 17, Sul Ross experienced a rough three game opener as they were downed 14-6, 7-4, 11-4. However, we must keep in mind Sul Ross is a young team and stands room for great im¬ provement. For the March 2 home opener with Western New Mexico, Sul Ross fans got to take part in an Open House at Kokernot on March 1. The Open House was intended to allow everyone an opportunity to look over the new renovations of Koker¬ not Field which were made previous to the beginning of the season. This season proved to be quite a thriller due to the fact that baseball was in existence at Sul Ross once again. Here goes nothing!

Baseball 113 “Why do they ride for their money? Why do they rope for short pay? They ain’t gettin’ nowhere and they’re losin’ their share. They all must be crazy out there.” Staying on the Top Throughout the 35 year history of the NIRA Rodeo, Sul Ross has proven that ro¬ deo is not just a passing trend. Sul Ross has held quite a record with a total of seven Men’s Teams winning during the 35 years. Rodeo has become a very success¬ ful tradition as the Sul Ross Men’s Rodeo proved by cap¬ turing its second consecu¬ tive College National Finals Rodeo Championship in Bo¬ zeman, Mont, in mid-June to hold up the good standings. Sul Ross cowboy Tuff Hede- man kept up the traditional bull riding record by scoring an impressive 81 points. The Sul Ross women faired well by capturing third in the nation in the CNFR. Another impressive oc- currance took place at the NIRA Finals. Sul Ross soph¬ omore Suzi Wilkie was cho¬ sen Miss College Rodeo USA. Miss Wilkie, a pre-vet major, represented Sul Ross as Rodeo Queen in the com¬ petition, and was chosen from candidates from col¬ leges throughout the United States. Each of the 180 NIRA member schools are eligible to send a candidate to compete for the crown. As queen, Miss Wilkie trav¬ eled throughout the year and will end her reign by sponsoring the queen’s con¬ test this summer at the na¬ tional finals. 1983 N.I.R.A. Champions I’d Rather Be A Rodeo Clown — Sul Ross Ex, Roach Hedeman clowned the Fall rodeo with all the same old tricks. Anchors away — There’s no doubt about it.

Thinkin’ it over — This cowboy is going over the upcoming ride in his head to work out the kinks. Because. that, however, it’s fun!” The fun and games have a price though, as calf roper Cody Corruthers points out. “Rodeo takes much dedication and com¬ pensation.” Ed Fernandes added, “You’ve go tta believe in yourself, even if you’re not” Some people often wonder why a rodeo competitor ends up at Sul Ross. Team roper Freddie Lucero says, “I came to Sul Ross to stay in the Southwest Region. What I most enjoy about Sul Ross is the town and the good cli¬ mate.” Behind the chutes — A lot of what is behind rodeo competition is behind the chutes. Why? Just Rodeo is characterized as a sport which takes much dedica¬ tion and effort. When asked if be¬ ing on the rodeo team hendered college studies, rodeo competitor Tami Nobles admitted, “There are quite a few conflicts with school due to late night practic¬ ing when studying has to take place, but it’s well worth it and the teachers try to help out.” Rodeo is a sport in which the competitor may also gain finan¬ cially. Tuff Hedeman admits, “I pay for everything with the mon¬ ey I make in rodeos. Besides Thirty five years of college rodeo. It’s only the beginning. Both the Sul Ross Men’s and Women’s Rodeo Teams made it obvious by Christmas that the standings would be quite impres¬ sive. In the men’s regional com¬ petition Sul Ross was way out in front again this year. When all of the fall rodeos were out of the way, the men had 1,305 points to second place TSU’s 707. The Sul Ross women had logged 721 for their first place standings over West Texas College with 567. One benefactor in the men’s Whoa! son — Mack McReynolds sets his saddle and measures his rein for the bronc riding. victories was the addition of Rocky Steagall, 21, who trans¬ ferred to Alpine campus effec¬ tive with the fall 1983 semester. Steagall excels in all six of the major arena events and came to Sul Ross from Blue Mountain Community College in Pendle¬ ton, Oregon. A team cannot function prop¬ erly without the talents of the right coach. Rodeo coach John Mahoney has proved to be just that. Mahoney says, “There’s a hundred things going on all the time, but among some of the finer points are keeping rodeos coordinated and recruiting new talent. There are probably more people rodeoing here than most other colleges because of the tra¬ ditional success of rodeo here. This is the big difference because people can identify with success.” With strong teams on both sides and the help of talented new indi¬ viduals and a strong coach, Sul Ross is at the top of the hill.

Record Winning Season Despite Losses With a starting lineup consist¬ ing of two freshmen, two sopho¬ mores and two juniors, the Sul Ross Lady Lobos entered the vol¬ leyball season with very young, basically unexposed players. “They began with an inherent fear of the faster college game, compared to high school, but ended up working very well with each other.” said Coach Kay Whitley. “They had a team cohe¬ siveness and developed the kind season record. The team won the Mid-Confer¬ ence Tourney and came in third in both TIAA conference and Dis¬ trict 8 competition. The team started and finished strongly, but mid-season play was plagued with injuries. Rang¬ ing from kidney infections to jammed thumbs to bad backs and even a torn finger requiring stitches, the Lobo team mishaps kept the infirmary busy. But the “I was very proud of the amount of hustle that went on out on the courts. They never gave up.” —Coach Kay Whitley of spirit that is very important to the success of any team.” The girls practiced two to four hours a day, often working out from 12:30 to 2 p.m. and then scrimmaging for the remaining time. But while the practice hours were tough, the Ladies game schedule was even tough¬ er. They played 39 matches con¬ sisting of 111 games with a 38-73 team still was able to rally and using their strong defensive tac¬ tics, managed to put up quite a fight. “The matches were closer than the scores made them ap¬ pear.” said Whitley. “I was very proud of the amount of hustle that went on out on the courts. They never gave up.” 120 Volleyball Reach for the sky! Rose Marco posi¬ tions herself as Linda Traylor stretch¬ es to meet the oncoming volleyball. Concentration!

Volleyball 121 122 Volleyball Bright Spot: Hernandez All-District The Lady Lobos, who are very often playing against scholarship schools that should “blow us off the courts” but don’t, had the best record in the conference but their losses came at the wrong time in the season. “Basically the problem was mental this year.” said Whitley. “When we faced McMurry, everyone was too wor¬ ried about what it would mean to lose, that they lost their concen¬ tration. In the LCC match, they just mentally let up. If we could have beat them at district, we would probably have made it to the finals.” “But I think that as a team w e had a lot to be proud of. The freshmen had a lot of responsibil¬ ity resting on their shoulders be¬ cause of the size and youth of the team and they improved tremen¬ dously as the season progressed.” Olivia Hernandez, a junior Up, up and away!

Rose Marco also made all-tournament. “Anabelle Gra¬ nada and Lisa Buentello did ex¬ cellent jobs in setting position and Granada saved more aces than anyone.” said Whitley. “Vicky Vidana came through in attacks and had a very high kill efficiency.” Because of the youth of the team and the fact that there are no seniors, Whitley has high exc- pectations for next year. “Our weak points this year were in of¬ fense and a lack of confidence. Next year the players will have a year’s experience to back them up and we plan to use this advan¬ tage to bring home the confer¬ ence title.” I got it! I got it!

The Lobos began the ’83 84 season in good shape determined to better last year’s 2-26 record. Returning high point man, Charles Prescott, and seasoned veterans Aubrey Kennedy, Burnett Wil¬ liams and Jim Cruser gave the Lobos a solid foundation on which to build. The season started on a high note with a 118-115 overtime win over highly rated Wayland Baptist. The Lobos dis¬ played their fire power early. Schreiner College was polished off and the Lobos played tough competition and tight games. Then the road trips and scholarship school competition began to take their toll on the Lobo squad. There were a number of losses along with the victo¬ ries. The Lobos did drop Howard Payne in overtime in Brownwood and Our Lady of the Lake and LCC at home before Christmas break. Austin College and LCC gave up spring victories in Graves-Pierce. The team was slowed by personal problems and injuries. With two games left, the team had posted a 10-25 sea¬ son and had attracted an enthusiastic following. The key factor which made the sea¬ son for the Lobos was the team’s “never say die” attitude and ability to play ex¬ citing basketball with any team on their schedule. Versatile — Aubrey Kennedy powers inside for two against Schreiner in the Sul Ross Tip- off Tournament in Graves-Pierce gym. Super Star — Senior Charles Prescott set his own pace at Sul Ross scoring 100 points in three games and breaking his 1983 51 point single game scoring record with a 52 point game, then a 55 point game. He was named TIAA Player of the Week three times and in two seasons broke the four season career to¬ tal of 1,822 points set by McMurry’s Keith White.

Basketball 127 Lady Lobo basketball- best team on books All team records broken “This is the best women’s team Sul Ross has ever had,” Coach Chet Sample will tell you. “Not only that, this is the first basketball team in recent memory, men’s or women’s, to go to the playoffs. A first look at the small, seven- member Lady Lobo team, ranging in size from 5-2 Liz Busic to 5-9 Vicky Vidana, did not indicate their prowess in the game. The team was young, too, with four freshmen, two sophomores and one junior. As the season unfolded, the La¬ dies led the 16-team district in de¬ fense giving up no more than 57 points per game. Not only that, they broke virtually every team record set at Sul Ross. That included most points, the number of field goals and attempted field goals, the number of free throws and attempted free throws, and the number of re¬ bounds. Nancy Ortiz, 21, was twice TIAA Flayer of the Week and broke all scoring records. Leslie Martin, 31, broke the season rebound record. “. . . this is the first basketball team ... to go to the play-offs.” —Coach Sample Women’s Basketball Team — Assistant Coach David Tandy, Liz Busic, Paula Brown, Leticia Canales, Leslie Martin, Vicky Vidana, Nancy Ortiz, Misela Luevano, Coach Chet Sample. Onward — Nancy Ortiz drives up the lane breaking through the Western New Mexico University’s defensive line. 128 Basketball mom It’s mine — Paula Brown, 11, works the SR offense against Austin College. Both Brown and Vicky Vidana (32) were new to the team in January. Going for it — Misela Luevano, 20, takes it to the basket in a lay-up against McMurry. SR came out on top 98-63. Champ — Nancy Ortiz, a 5 ' 8 sophomore from Greenwood was TIAA Player of the Week twice breaking all SR scoring records. Bxg Red Basketball 129 “They listen . . . That has meant the difference between winning and losing.’ —Coach Sample A winning combination “The girls learned a heck of a lot this year,” Coach Sample says. “They listen and try to follow the instructions I give them. That has meant the difference between win¬ ning and losing. “I’m proud of the team. They are all Texas girls and all but Leticia Canales who is from McAllen come from this area. They are really hard workers.” The success of the team was amazing considering the fact that two of the seven players, Vicky Vi- dana and Paula Brown, didn’t join the team until the second semester. Talk among the spectators would affectionately mention the drill ser¬ geant techniques of the coach and nicknames for the team like the “Mighty Midgets”. Whatever the se¬ cret ingredient was, it was there and it worked. As the season progressed, the crowds and their enthusiasm grew. Everyone was proud of the Ladies and their successful climb to the top. Try for two — Vicky Vidana tries for a mid¬ court shot in Graves-Pierce during the 65-19 rout over Austin College. A word to the wise — Coach Sample uses a time out on the sidelines to review game plans with Lady Lobo team members. In true form — Leslie Martin reaches for another rebound. She broke the SR individual rebound record this year. True grit — Liz Busic keeps the ball moving down the court to home territory despite the LCC defen¬ sive front. Basketball 131 Coming on strong Courting success Thunk is not a noise that one comes across all that often, but dur¬ ing the tennis season, it was heard with increasing frequency. For one- half to two hours a day, thunks, whizzes and whumps resounded throughout the courts as students perfected their forehands, back¬ hands and serves. The Sul Ross tennis team prac¬ tice usually consisted of drills to strengthen their strokes and several practice matches to improve play¬ ing ability. With a line-up of 12 players, six women and six men, the Lobos were confident at the start of the season. For the women, joining newcomers Dawn Luck and Melinda Nicholson, were returning players Edna Olmos, Tissy Davis, Crystal Roth and Da- laine Williams. All four made a strong showing last year and led the women’s team to a first-place finish in the conference championships. This season, in games against McMurry, UTEP, St. Edwards, Tex¬ as Lutheran, Incarnate Word, Ange¬ lo State and Concordia Lutheran, the Lady Lobos made a very strong showing. The male half of the Lobo tennis team, who finished second in the conference championships last year, were faced with several staff¬ ing problems. A few transfer stu¬ dents were unable to complete the transition and a couple of players were declared ineligible. John Wil¬ liamson, Ted Bedwell, Rhonnie Les¬ ter, Danny Ponce, Charles Ward and Jene Wilton did manage to put together a team and complete a re¬ spectable finish. “It promised to be an exciting season,” said Coach Kay Whitley, and the tennis fans at Sul Ross certainly were not disappoint¬ ed.

Running is fun The track team was off and run¬ ning this season with spring warm¬ up meets at McMurry and Tarleton and a final conference meet in April in Abilene. Track events included runners in the 400 and 800 meter and long distance run and sprinters in the 100 and 200 meter. Both 400 meter sprint relay and mile relay teams participated as well as broad and triple jumpers. There were also en¬ tries in the high jump, pole vault and javelin. With new track coach Ray De- Spain and several new team mem¬ bers, the team had high hopes for a successful season. My aching fingers!

It isn’t the buildings or the surroundings... it’s the people. This year enrollment figures peaked over the 1800 mark. Stu¬ dents came from all over to take ad¬ vantage of what Sul Ross has to of¬ fer them. We lived, worked and grew to¬ gether this year and we’ve all come a long way. We’ve shared our suc¬ cesses and failures with each other, cried on each other’s shoulders and patted each other’s backs. We’ve be¬ come close to one another and have promised never to forget what we’ve been through. Time may draw our faces in a way no one can predict, but for now, let’s look at who and what we were in 1983-84.

She did not come to Al¬ pine with intentions of attending school. Ac¬ tually Jill’s husband is an Alpine resident. Jill met her husband at San Diego, got married, and the two moved to Austin. After “tiring” of the big cities the two moved to Alpine and Jill saw “the college on the hill” and decided to inquire about it. Jill feels lucky to be get¬ ting the practical experience of working in the Center and has “never regretted a mo¬ ment” here at SR.

After being drafted to Viet Nam, Sonny decided to join the Navy. Sonny was a gunner’s mate for five years and during this time made three trips to the Mediterranean. Sonny is no stranger to good old fashioned manual labor, having worked in the oil fields and as a ranch hand before deciding on a college education. He is currently majoring in Range Animal Science and hopes to work in Ag-Business. This year Sonny is staying busy serving his tenure as the Regional President of Block and Bridle. He is also very active in the Student Association, serving as the RAS senator. Sonny has seen a lot in the life he’s lived. He’s seen joy and probably more than his share of tragedy. Sonny was a professional fire fighter and spent six months riding in an ambulance. Raised in Mona¬ hans, he admits that he was terrible in high school, but feels he is a better student now due to all his past experiences. Sonny was induct¬ ed into Alpha Chi this year proving that his high school days are over.

The soph¬ omore communications major hasn’t stood still enough that long. In fact, a good deal of her time isn’t even spent on the ground. This past summer, Shawn occupied her days with flying lessons in order to obtain her pilot’s license for single engine aircraft. “At first I was a little nervous about flying, but I hate the thought of spending so much time on the road, getting somewhere,” said Shawn. “I was raised forty-five miles from Loving- ton and I always thought it would be nice to fly instead of drive so far. I hate all that down time.” Shawn is a lady who seems to be going places, and with her new license, she will simply get there a little bit faster than before. Prepare for take off! Shawn makes her routine plane check before she begins preparations for her flight. On the spot — Shawn Tulk questions editor Kirk Macon about the workings of the Skyline, Sul Ross’ newspaper.

As queen, she has traveled to every region in the US to promote college rodeo and the Nation¬ al Intercollegiate Rodeo Association. Suzi has been competing in rodeo since high school, specializing in barrel racing and break away roping. “This honor has presented me with a lot of opportunities that I feel will help me in the future.” Sing it again Sue — Taking a break from modeling, Suzi Wilkie makes her singing debut at a fashion show featuring the Rodeo Queen contestants. 160 Sophomores Tilley, Randy, Sulphur Springs Torres, Ruben, Littlefield Traylor, Linda, Coyanosa Tulk, Shawn, NM Valenzuela, Annette, Alpine Valrenca, Adrian, El Paso Velasco, Jaime, Ft.

The two and one half days orientation process acquaints new students and their fam¬ ilies with the campus and faculty, student ser¬ vices, and job and scholarship opportunities. They also make new friends at social functions each evening such as a swimming party and a dance. Orientation ends in pre-registration, helping students plan their class schedules and register for the fall. Orientation is run by the Center for Student Development. 168 Freshmen Refreshed!

One by one, he has overseen projects to improve the quality of Sul Ross. Part of his success can be attributed to his ability to listen and hear the ideas of others. Sometimes this is not easy because he has heard many of them at least a hundred times before. Yet, his door is still open and he keeps on looking for improvements to be made. He is the president. The man at the top of the hill C.R. “Bob” Richardson Administration 173 The Administrative Family Album After the president, the primary responsibility of run¬ ning Sul Ross lies in the able hands of seven very qualified individuals. These people are responsibile for the smooth day-to- day operation of the facilities, procedures, and programs that make Sul Ross. They also have duties as long range planners, which requires a high level of expertise. The administration of Sul Ross works hard to provide the best opportunity for students and faculty alike to grow. They are energetic in their approach and their high level of accessibility makes them unique. Sharon A. Bass Director of Business Services Dupuy Bateman III Director of Accounting Dr. Earl H.

Graduate Assistants 189 Gettin ’ On Top The object of the game is to reach the top of the hill and wrestle the other players in order to stay there. At times the competi¬ tion is more intense than others as each player becomes more determined to be “king”. For the most part, any glory is short¬ lived. There is too much opposition for any one participant to sustain for very long. Generally in the course of the game, co¬ alitions or teams will form. A group can effectively occupy the top for a longer peri¬ od of time. Loyalties and bonds quickly take shape as the players work toward a com¬ mon interest. The team with the greatest ability will rise to the top and when the game is over, will be the “kings of the moun¬ tain”. Tired and dirty, the players slowly dis¬ perse as each one makes his way back home. Challenges are offered as each side agrees to continue tomorrow. Tomorrow begins a new game with new teams and perhaps even a new hill. There we have another chance to strive to the top and a chance to occupy the throne reserved for the king of the mountain. It is important to realize that in our own way we all have a place to sit at the top. 190 Closing King of the Mountain Student Faculty Index A Abercrombie, Gary Abercrombie, William 148 Abrego, Jr., Ricardo 74, 92, 142 Acker, Kerry 74, 142 Acosta, Jr., Abel 50, 73, 154 Acosta, Antonio Acosta, Iselda 97, 101, 154 Acosta, Jesse Guererro Acosta, Rebecca 148 Adame, Alonso 162 Adame, Arnold 162 Adame, Laurencio Adams, Lillian Adams, Robin 162 Adauto, Raymond Adauto, Sandra 162 Adkins, Darryl 162 Aguilar, Felix 86, 154 Aguirre, Lillian 90 Ahmad, Said 47, 138 Ahmed, Faiyaz 47 Airington, Franklin Ajame, Laurencio 142 Al-Abagi, Saad Alaga, Olusoga 86 Alam, Mark 162 Albores, Mario Aldaco, Marylou 97, 154 Alfaro, Robert Allaire, Mary 148 Allen, Charlotte 47, 138 Allen, Gary Allen, Scott 79 Almendarez, Amparo 154 Almodova, Blanca 142 Althouse, Gary 66, 79 Alvarado, Ninfa 37, 38, 86, 142 Alvarado, Norma 86 Alvarez, Viola Amaya, Jose Amtmann, Kina Anderson, Farris 84, 154 Anderson, Jerry Anderson, Kathleen Anderson, Larry Anderson, Sheri 76, 154 Anderson, Susan Angelo, Jenny 74, 95, 162 Anthony, Allen 180 Antwine, Gerald Antwine, Kathleen Antwine, Leon Apartcio Jr., Ruben 88, 162 Apolinar, Olga Archer, Steven Arias, Veronica 154 Armbruster, Ruenell Armstrong, Kyle 148 Arnold, James 66, 94 Arnold, Roger 79, 142 Arrambide, Robert 154 Arredondo, Belinda Arriola, Michael Asher, Camilla 66, 74, 79, 95, 142 Ashley, Mark 73, 142 Auza, Joseph 162 Avalos, Rene B Baeza, Abelardo 97,181 Baeza, Enrique 94 Baeza, Jeffery 162 Baeza, Rafael 138 Bailey, Cathy Bailey, Jerriann 74, 77, 86, 101 Bailey, R.
