To some, they are mere tokens — glittering in the imagination or in the sky. To others, dreams and stars are goals to be strived for and reached. Reaching for a star is akin to climbing a staircase. Each step is a personal resource and an individual talent that makes the star obtainable. No one can stand and idly grab without failing to realize the goal. But, by climbing the staircase step by step, by anticipating and overcoming obstacles, the star can be captured. — Blaine Voorhees Bobby Burney LOOKING GOOD — The main tenance crew at Sul Ross does an outstanding job of keeping the campus in tip-top form and excel¬ lent condition. GO TEAM — This year’s cheer¬ leaders brought back many awards from the camps they at¬ tended and held their own cheer¬ leading camp for Jr. High stu¬ dents. LOUNGING AROUND — This education class took advantage of a beautiful summer day and met on the circle in front of the Admin¬ istration building. 3 r Wj2 yj y Mm - j HOME SWEET HOME — The Bar SR Bar looms majestically in the background of the Smith and Mar¬ quis dorms. RELAXATION — Asa refuge from the hustle-bus¬ tle of school life, Grady Blount and other geology majors turn to the beauty of the wilderness. CAMPUS BEAUTY — Many visitors and students have commented on the beauty of the carefully tend¬ ed rose beds located throughout the campus. 4 Stars Can Be ■ Captured Once a star is reached, suddenly other stars, other goals seem easier to obtain. One realized goal leads to other worlds, worlds that lie beyond the first dream, beyond the initial star. Like a long winding stairway, so are our lives, striving for the summit. Realizing our achieve¬ ments, we set new goals which will take us closer to what we will someday become. Success is an emotion that once discovered can never be left alone. —Blaine Vorhees Bobby Burney BREAK TIME — Summer session students take a break from the day-to-day grind of classes and relax on the steps of the Student Union Building. TOUCHING UP — The campus went through a series of sprucing up sessions prior to the meeting of the Board of Regents in August. Stardom is Yours SPIKED — Vicky Vidana and Olivia Swanson pre¬ pare to return an attempted block by Eastern New Mexico Univeristy. PART OF THE GAME — Charles Frazier has his ankle worked on by a Sul Ross football trainer during the Nueva Leon game at Jackson Field. The stars above are bright and free, ready to be conquered by those with the strength and courage. Those who come far enough up the ladder of life often take the challenge to be what they desire to be. Often, to take this challenge is victory in itself. All through life we rise and fall, laugh and cry, but we continue to explore our lives, to come closer to our destiny. The climb is not always easy, but in times of despair, we turn to better times for support and the strength to continue to reach for the top. And the stars are closer. Achievement is not always winning or obtaining what is wanted, but knowing what is sought after, and that it is right for us. This is achievement. Once we decide to devote time and energy to an activity we become special, filled with the desire to become all that we can become. Once this is attained, the stars are the limit. Stardom is ours. — Blaine Voorhees Bobby Burney 6 LISTEN CLOSELY — Mazie Will instructs Pat¬ ty Edwards, Purple Peyna, Barbra Zubiate, Janis Wehmeyer, Eddie Cauble and Bobby Fernandez during a summer course.

Elwood Dowd (2) carries on a conversation with his imaginary friend, Harvey. Elwood Dowd (3) introduces himself to Mrs. Chumley. Dr. William Chumley (4) realizes Harvey may exist. Nurse Kelly (5) realizes she has admitted the wrong person. Dr. Sanderson (6) holds back Wilson from hurting Elwood. 8 Meet My Friend Harvey The stars shone brightly at the stage production of “Harvey,” put on by the University Players. The play was present ed five times during the month of Novem¬ ber. Most used to think of Jimmy Stewart when “Harvey” was mentioned but now people will remember the University Play¬ ers. The action of the play takes place in the Far West in the library of the Dowd family mansion and the reception room of Chum- ley’s Rest. It is the story of Elwood Dowd, a man whose best friend is a giant rabbit, Harvey. The only problem is that he is the only one who can see Harvey. Throughout the story, Dowd is trying to convince ev¬ eryone that his rabbit friend does exist. He is eventually committed to a mental hospi¬ tal because of his “hallucinations” In the end, though, others begin seeing Harvey and everything works out fine. — Dicky Bain CAST OF CHARACTERS Myrtle Mae Simmons . . .

L | | JJmai — r 1 .... r,Jaatr 1 - 1 - flfjPJ ,; ' Star Avenue The theme for this year’s Homecoming pa¬ rade was “They came, they saw, we con¬ quered.” And it was an appropriate theme, too. Austin College came, they saw, and we conquered. The Lobos squeeked by with a 12-9 victory over the Kangaroos. All in all, the day went well. The parade ran smoothly, a new Homecoming Queen was crowned, the game was won, and the dance was a success. A fitting end to the day was the lighting of the Bar-SR-Bar, which glowed throughout the night. — Dicky Bain HOMECOMING ’84 - The Clip-N-Brand float (1) was appropriate for this part of the country. “Who ya gonna call? Roo Busters!” The Newman Club (2) took second place with their float. The BSU (3), last year’s winner, added color to the parade. The Art Club’s Chariot (4) captured third place. BIRD’S EYE VIEW — Many lined the sides of East Holland to witness the annual Sul Ross Homecoming Parade. 13 -O - -U - -IT- Chuting Stars A lot of time, preparation, and devotion both phys¬ ically and mentally must be given to the sport of rodeo. It’s not just a matter of who can ride the toughest bull, or rope the fastest calf, but who has the drive behind great amounts of athletic ability, horsemanship, and great timing. Rough stock riders must have great rhthmic ability, quick thinking, and great respect for the opposing animal, while timed events require not only quick thinking but also a great amount of cooperation and timing between horse and rider and a tremendous amount of personal ability. Before the competitor is observed you may well know the great amounts of time and devotion have been spent to improve rodeo skills. —Jayne Gentry DON’T LOOK DOWN NOW — An upstairs view is captured as the gate opens and the cowboy tries to mark his horse out of the chute with his feet at the point of the horse’s shoulder. 14 CHECKING IT OUT — It’s not playtime now. A cowboy (left) awaits his ride with all equipment in¬ tact. Tuff Hedeman (right) checks out his equipment prior to his saddle bronc ride during the SR NIRA rodeo.

There is a special place in life, A goal I must attain, A dream that I must follow. For I won’t be back again ... ... There’s always a tomorrow. And the best is yet to be. And somewhere in this world I know There is a place for me! —Grace E. Easley 81 James Daniel Bean was born February 25, 1965. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bean of Ozona, the brother of David and Douglas Bean and the husband of Elaine West Bean. Dan came to Sul Ross in the fall of 1983 and began his work on a business degree. Dan loved rodeo and immensely enjoyed people. He was a loving son and brother, a fine husband and a good student. But most of all he was just Beano to his friends. Dan is greatly missed and loved and his memory will never die. —Jene Wilton, Jr. Student Life College life involves a lot more than going to class, studying and taking tests. The outside activities play a large role in the life of a student. After surviving a long, hard week of classes, we are all looking for a way out. These activities become essential to those who spend endless hours in the library studying for midterms and finals. Weekend road trips, going to dances, watching movies, and those romantic dates to see the Marfa lights are only a small part of the activities we are involved in. In order to keep a straight head and efficiently continue our reach for stardom, we must have a little bit of fun and relaxation on the side. These next few pages show us that we stars at Sul Ross know how to have a good time! THE ODD COUPLE — George Bradley (Oscar) and fellow card players comfort Bish¬ op Bailey during one of his fits of depression. LIGHTS PLEASE — Mary Magni gets the stage lit for the production of the play, “Guys and Dolls”. 20 Summer Theatre SMILE — Theatre instructor, Joanna Cowell and David Slight clown around before their performance in “Guys and Dolls”. Lights! Camera! Action! The summer season of the Theatre of the Big Bend rolled around once more; this was the nineteenth year. The first produc¬ tion started at the beginning of July and played in repertoire through the second week in August. Among some of the characters who reached their stardom were George Brad¬ ley and Bishop Bailey starring in the “Odd Couple” by Neil Simon and directed by Mary Magni. Two one-act comedies were also per¬ formed. Mike Ford, John Powl, and David Slight starred in “Lone Star”. Laura Can- uteson, Linda Isbell and Darcy Harrington had the leading roles in “Laundry and Bourbon”. Both plays were directed by Marianne Bertram and written by James McLure. “Guys and Dolls”, a musical fable by Damon Runyon, was one of the last plays directed by SRSU theatre director, June Compton. She was assited by music direc¬ tors Rex Wilson and Ellen Boyd. The star¬ ring roles were portrayed by Travis Tucker, Shawna McGahey, Leo Magni Jr. and Kathie Sullivan. — Brenda Gentry HOT BOX — Chorus line girls were Laura Canute- son, Marianne Bertram, Linda Isbell, Kathie Sulli¬ van, Darcy Harrington, Cindy Minton and Lily Gran- ado.

Summer Theatre 21 Home Away From Home It’s a quiet Sunday, August 26. Cars begin to pour into the various parking lots on campus. Lawrence, Graves-Pierce, Morelock, and Mountainside dormitories are about to become homes away from home for a large number of students. The cars which are loaded to the top, sometimes trunk and backseat, are now being unpacked. One is astonished at the number of necessities a student has. Par¬ ents and little brothers sisters help to car¬ ry in boxes, suitcases, and numerous stor¬ age containers. Dorm directors go through the tedious procedure of checking in every new arri¬ val. RAs are introduced to the residents that are to live on their floor. They then show the residents their rooms, introduce them to roommates and suitemates. Among RAs’ duties are keeping the noise level down to a mild roar, and pro¬ viding sanitary paper for the restrooms and mops and brooms for the rooms. Resi¬ dents have to adjust to the cafeteria schedule and visiting hours among some things. A lot of them also have to figure out a schedule for the showers. The first cou¬ ple of weeks conflicts do arise, but after awhile life gets back to normal dorm life level. — Rosie Garibay PAPERWORK — Mountainside dorm director, Edna Cave, checks in Yvette DeAnda and Rosella Tavares. MOVING AGAIN — Moving in and out can some¬ times be hectic especially when you live on the third floor of Morelock like Sandy. 22 Moving In OH NO! — Jerrianne Bailey, RA at Mountainside dorm, tells Bylindy Weatherman how it really is in the dorm. WE GOT EM’ — Max Saad, David Creek, and Jerriann Bailey prepare a defense plan in prep¬ aration for the students in Mountainside. WHAT NEXT! — Kathy Genuske moves here from El Paso and swears these rooms get smaller and smaller every year. ALMOST DONE — Kathy’s dad, Ray, is sure glad this isn’t a big car or they would be carrying boxes in all day. Moving In 23 Registration Take One! Take Two! It was that time again, fall registration in Graves-Pierce Gym. Everyone was there. The post office, university police, cafeteria personnel, housing department, yearbook sales, uni¬ versity nurse and fee fixers all wanted something. Students moved from station to station, turning in the proper card and receiving post office box number and other informa¬ tion necessary for a semester at Sul Ross. Class cards had to be picked up for each course to be taken. The lines were often long, the pace slow and steady. The longest line, students found, was at the door. It took longer to get inside, up to one and one half hours, than it did to com¬ plete registration. The lines gave those waiting time to see who was back at Sul Ross and to find out what adventures the summer had offered. Finally the process was complete, with a last stop to have ID cards made. For freshmen, registration was the be¬ ginning of a new chapter, a turning point. For seniors it was the start of a final chap¬ ter, the completion of one goal in a series of many. LINES, FORMS AND MORE LINES — Students stand in line and fill out forms for a number of offices. It’s hectic but it’s all part of registration. LOOKING FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS — Dr. Rex Wilson and Dr. Roy Dodson recruit stu¬ dents for the Music and Art Department. YOU’RE KIDDIN’ — Clint Teague gets the latest information from Financial Aid director, Marvin Bru¬ ton, during fall registration. 24 Registration SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE — Students must sign release forms before they can receive their fi¬ nancial aid checks. MORE FORMS TO FILL — A student enrolling at SR fills out one of the many forms required at regis¬ tration every semester. Registration 25 Change of Scenery “I want to add an extra touch to the cafeteria meals and do something special for the students,” stated Reba Kneisley, fourth year Mountainside cafeteria man¬ ager. Throughout the fall semester Reba Kneisley and her staff provided a touch of home for the residents of the various dorms. A fish fry was held in September in order for the students to get acquainted. During October, the food service in con¬ junction with the Rodeo club sponsored a Barbeque. A traditional Thanksgiving supper was served in November and a Christmas special was held in December. Birthday cakes and cupcakes were baked once a month for those who cele¬ brated their birthday within that month. In November, those who celebrated their birthday in the summer months were hon¬ ored. Mrs. Kneisley and her staff set out to do something special for the students. They not only did something special they made students feel special and at home when some are so far away from home. — Rosie Garibay I’VE CAUGHT IT — Rick Whitney caught and HUNGRY FOLKS — Jerianne Bailey, RA at fried a great tasting “school” of fish for the fish fry Mountainside, and Katie Higgins are among some of sponsored by the University Food Service. the dorm residents that attended the fish fry.

DELICIOUS FOOD — Edward Ngwu smiles as he poses for the photographer at the barbecue spon¬ sored by the University Food Service and the Rodeo Club. A Little Taste of Hawaii A taste of Hawaii was savored by resi¬ dents of Morelock, Mountainside, Law¬ rence, and Graves-Pierce Dorms. A Ha¬ waiian luau was held September 16, at the GP pool between 6-9 p.m. for residents of the dorms and their invited guests. There were activities such as volleyball and swimming. Music was provided for those who wished to dance. The Luau was the first big project taken on by the RAs as they got their Residence Hall programming underway. The RAs or¬ ganized the Luau, prepared the food, made the decorations, and cleaned up afterwards as well. The RAs were really enthusiastic about the Luau and to make it seem realistic some dressed in simulated grass skirts. This was the first time in a long time that a Residence Hall program had been established at Sul Ross. The RAs were excited and cooperated enthusiastically. — Rosie Garibay LOOK OUT HAWAII — Gay and Ruthie Palero, Annette Mendoza and Maria Forras reflect a look of Hawaii with their skirts.

CLIP -N- BRAND — Clip -N- Brand sponsor Rene Villarreal had the honor of officially igniting the ’84 bonfire. V ' n ' v ' s ' A ' v V-X Bonfire Pep t Jtf As the sky grew darker, the flames started to rise and along with them rose the spirits and number of supporters of the mighty Sul Ross Lobos. The Homecoming bonfire and pep rally were only two of the events that highlight¬ ed the 1984 Homecoming at Sul Ross State University. Clip -N- Brand once again took the win¬ ners’ trophy for collecting the most wood for the bonfire. Circle K ran a close sec¬ ond. The cheerleaders led the rally with their cheers, chants and stunts while the band played the Lobo victory song and the Sul Ross Alma Mater. Sul Ross students and exes joined in with cheering and singing. The coaches and senior members of the Lobo team took the platform with mega¬ phones in hand to inform Lobo fans and loyal supporters of the upcoming victory against the Austin College Kangaroos. Fans left the rally with high hopes for our first conference win. ■ i N N N X N N v ' X ' ' v ' v ' ' A ' ' ' — 7 - ' f . f . x V x-r x x ' • v 7 V K H H H - LUBOS FOREVER — Cheerleaders lead the crowd in one of their cheers to urge the Sul Ross Lobos on to victory against the AC Kangaroos.

The whole day seemed to be paying patronage to the halftime ceremonies that would highlight the band activities and showcase the queen nominees. With the flag corps forming a semi-cir¬ cle and the band playing “To All the Girls Tve Loved Before,” the candidates were introduced and congratulated by Sul Ross President Dr. Jack Humphries and his wife. Selected as Homecoming Queen was Alpine junior Shana Souter who was es¬ corted by her father. First runner-up was Shauna McCrury, also escorted by her fa¬ ther. The Homecoming Court consisted of Nancy Moody, Sheri Thee, and Norma Alvarado. — Bobby Burney FIRST RUNNER-UP — Shana McCrury and her dad proudly smile after receiving her first runner-up ribbon and flowers.

Halftime Ceremonies 35 Getting Out the Vote Reagan Versus Mondale Every four years, two Sul Ross clubs become especially active. The Young Democrats and Young Republicans were visibly involved in campaigning and regis¬ tering voters. The Young Demos campaigned to in¬ crease voter registration in September and October. Record absentee voting and long lines at the polls on Nov. 6 showed an overall increase in voter interest. The school paper, The Skyline, pro¬ vided an important format for the student leaders of the two political organizations to discuss issues. Norman Duble (D) and Paul Laverty (R) used columns and rebuttal to debate the merits of several candidates. Eight propositions were also discussed both on the news and viewpoint pages. The most hotly contested race was that between Phil Gramm (R) and Lloyd Dog- gett (D) for U.S. senatorial seat vacated by John Tower, who spoke at a Republican fund-raising rally at Mountainside Dorm. The Student Association joined in urging voters to pass Proposition 2, an amend¬ ment assuring university funding. — Bobby Burney WELCOME TO ALPINE — SR President Jack CAMPAIGN MEMORABILIA — Many campaign Humphries welcomes U.S. Senator John Tower, who signs, bumper stickers, buttons and T-shirts were was here for a Republican fund raising dinner. available at the Republican fund raiser.

Election Year 37 38 Halloween WHO YA GONNA CALL? — Vance Cox, Jaime Nieto, Joe Moulder and Carl Haack prepare for a night of partying with the Halloween spirits and goblins. Boooo!!! Witches flying, ghosts appearing, and things were mysteriously moving and sometimes even disappearing . . . What’s going on? It’s Hallow¬ een and the students at Sul Ross really got into the swing of things. Students attended costume parties sponsored by clubs or private parties which were held Hal¬ loween night. One of the costume parties on campus was sponsored by the Baptist Student Union. Stu¬ dents joined in the fun with singing, refresh¬ ments and a costume contest. “Miss Piggy” alias Clint Wallace received an award for best cos¬ tume. Those in costume participated in an ad¬ venturous and exciting trick-or-treat excursion in the surrounding neighborhood. “We were hesi¬ tant,” said Brenda Gentry, “about going trick-or- treating since we were college students but the people were generous and friendly.” Mountainside cafeteria staff treated dorm residents to a festive Halloween dinner with decorated cakes and other goodies. — Rosie Garibay TOTALLY AWESOME! — Jenny Angelo, Mona Jordan, Brenda Gentry and Sharon Smith reveal their originality at the Baptist Student Union costume party.

Halloween 39 A Step Forward The anxiety strikes all student teacher applicants on the day Dr. Sue Pannell walks into the class to announce their nine week assignments. Dr. Pannell is director of student teachers. She says, “It’s not easy to place everyone where they want to be or even to place them in their major field of study.” Therefore, she just has to do the best she can with the teachers and school districts who are available and will¬ ing to accept student teachers. Some doz¬ en or more school districts open their schools to Sul Ross student teachers every semester. Student teaching is full of experiences that one will never forget and some that will benefit a teacher in the years to come. Many student teachers will say they learned more during the nine weeks of student teaching than they ever thought was possible and the rewards of seeing students achieve is a g� eat feeling. —Brenda Gentry VERY INTERESTING — Ted Bedwell had the privilege of reading a story with a reading group in his fourth grade class in Alpine. THE WORD IS ... — Elementary Education Ma¬ jor, Eunice Carrillo, found herself teaching syllables and communication skills to a 3rd grade class. LISTEN CLOSELY — Some diligent 3rd grade students give 100% of their attention to Rick Blu- cher during this class. “I MADE A 100” — Student teacher, Tracy Stolte, gives aid to a fourth grade cub scout as she grades the reading assignment. 40 Student Teachers 41 Tonight’s Plans? What Are University studies and work demand so much of a student’s time that recreational periods are often considered a major vaca¬ tion. Here at Sul Ross the c ollege life is no different. Free time is spent outdoors with friends enjoying the fresh West Tx. air or just sitting around on a weekend having a few cool ones with the gang. The night life finds many students out on the dance floor at one of the local bars, at the local movie house, or out on the town enjoying a friend’s company at one of the local res¬ taurants. Many students often travel to the National Park to enjoy the Hot Springs, or Boquillas and its small tavern and cliff diving. One might say that Alpine is a small country town but no one can say that it is totally without excitement. —Blain Voorhees LOOK MOM — Trey Haack shows off his prize ten point white tailed deer, bagged at Loma Alta near Del Rio.

Let It 44 Snow Snow, Let It Snow This is the Chihuahuan Desert, isn’t it? Obviously, Mother Nature must have for¬ gotten. She dumped up to nine inches of snow on us the weekend before the spring semester began. What a way to begin a new semester — some students were stranded out of town and late registration had to be delayed for a few days. Being in West Texas, many aren’t pre¬ pared for this type of weather, and hav¬ ing the campus located on the side of a mountain didn’t help matters. This was evi- dent in the many fen¬ der benders that resulted. But the mountain location did have its advantages. Inner tubes and cafeteria trays were converted into sleds as the hillside became a giant playground. Some draggged their skis out of hiding and put them to use. A few of the braver (or crazier) students even bundled up and turned the snow covered ground into a football field. While some had fun playing in the snow, others were put to work. The campus secu¬ rity was kept busy patrolling due to all of the minor accidents. The maintenance crew was put to work clearing the sidewalks and steps. Many students found it hard just get¬ ting their cars started, not to mention the difficulty of getting them off the campus once started. — Dicky Bain like “Atlanta burr Dreaming” an “ “ naior fa« concert On With the Show Concerts are one o. the’ „ rtf the sources of Concerts are by the entertamrnen P Qughout the year. •1 Program Coun u prese nts one P nUnCU The Program C ter Thewell; vnQraW OUl� major concert each “Atlanta X03 antc - vul Presents . • • I The council Y he Voltage Brothers the e Nah mal wcHARD klENDER -d Shakespeare « « some of the shows p Turn er from the Heart.

Humphries Ninth President at Sul Ross State University March 29,1985 On March 29, the inauguration of Sul Ross President Dr. Jack Humphries was held. Dr. Humphries is the ninth person to hold the of¬ fice of president at Sul Ross. Two medallions, a mace, and an academic robe and hood wefe acquired for the inaugura¬ tion. The medallions were given by the Student Association. One was presented to President Humphries and the other will remain at Sul Ross. Both medallions have the university seal on front while the reverse of President Humph¬ ries’ medallion has his name and date of inau¬ guration and the other has a list of all past presidents of Sul Ross. The mace, donated by the Sul Ross Ex-Stu- dent Association, was made out of native wal¬ nut and brass by Robert Bowden, assistant professor of industrial arts. It is inscribed with dates significant in the history of Sul Ross. The mace is the first one at Sul Ross and will be used in all other future ceremonies. The academic robe and hood were present¬ ed by the Faculty Senate. The night before the inauguration, a recep¬ tion and student dance were held in the Graves-Pierce Building. The inauguration itself was held in the gym. Following the inaugura¬ tion a luncheon was held for invited guests. The luncheon included speeches and greet¬ ings. Dr. Vic Morgan, chairman of the Inaugura¬ tion Committee, hopes that this event will es¬ tablish academic traditions as strong as rodeo and baseball. “Ten years ago,” Morgan said, “inauguration ceremonies were not very com¬ mon, but more and more universities are now reviving the inaugural tradition.” —Dicky Bain dilation 1984 Graduation 1984 Graduation 1984 Graduation 1 !

Finally the day comes when your name is called, and you make that walk across the stage to receive your diplo¬ ma. A great sigh of relief is felt knowing that a goal has been attained. A sense of pride is felt by all, satisfying that long awaited desire for accom¬ plishment. As students depart, ending many college ca¬ reers, they think not only of times past, but of times bringing further achievements. — Brand Staff THANKS ALOT! — Kathy Graham excitedly receives her Bachelors diploma, a long awaited prize for a mother and house wife.

Graduation 53 1984 The Year 54 at a Glance WORLD NEWS 1984 Highlights An annual has one major function - it captures on paper some of the memories of the past school year. By flipping through the pages, we are reminded of the events that affected our lives during the past two semesters. But we must also remember that there were events other than those on campus that touched our lives. These two pages help us to recall some of the bigger news stories on the national and inter¬ national scene. As we all know, 1984 was election year. President Reagan made history by winning re- election with the biggest electoral vote ever. Walter Mondale also made history by choosing a woman, Geraldine Ferraro, as his vice presi¬ dential running mate. 1984 was also the year of the Olympics. The United States brought home four gold and four silver medals from the Winter Olympics in Yugoslavia. Los Angeles played host to the largest Summer Olympics ever held. Many American athletes became national heroes including Mary Lou Retton, who captured the women’s all-around title, and Carl Lewis, who breezed to four gold medals in track-and-field. The Space Shuttle Challenger continued its treks into orbit during 1984 as Bruce McCand- less became the first to walk in space using a manned maneuvering unit. A restoration project was begun on the Statue of Liberty, who celebrated her 98th birthday this past year. The Lady had begun to show her age due to the constant pummeling of the elements. 1984 also marked the beginning of the Victory Tour across America. Michael Jackson and his brothers brought their incredible show to more than a dozen cities. The Pope packed his bags and visited many countries in 1984. In the jungle country of New Guinea, 200,000 natives turned out to welcome him. The World Series in 1984 pitted the Detroit Tigers against the San Diego Padres. The Tigers captured the series four games to one. Sul Ross The Skyline 55 Honors Although everyone plays an important role in the making of a production, some people are recognized more than others. These are the people who put a little extra effort in getting their job done. These people go out of their way and spend endless hours to put their part of the production together. Some of these people are honored for beauty and person ality or for their involvement in school activities. Some are honored for their scholastic achievements. In the following pages we have attempted to pay tribute to the people that are outstanding in their own way. We don’t honor them with trophies or gold medals, we simply set aside a few pages and words of recognition so that everyone knows of their achievements. 1984 Rodeo Queen In the Spotlight Since she was eight years old, Jacque Jenkins has been rodeoing. Since then, she has grown up, but she hasn’t outgrown rodeoing. Jacque, a Buffalo, Wyoming senior, was selected as this year’s Sul Ross Rodeo Queen. As Rodeo Queen, Jacque will go to the National College Finals Rodeo in Boze¬ man, Montana and compete for the Nation¬ al Intercollegiate Rodeo Queen. A math major, Jacque plans to teach math after graduation this year. But, no doubt, she will contin¬ ue to love both horses and rodeos. Raised on a ranch, she confesses to loving them for as long as she can remember. And this will be a year to remem¬ ber for her as the rodeo teams com¬ pete for the national title. “Both the men’s and the women’s teams are looking to another year at the Na¬ tional finals,” she said. “We are a very close team and are always cheering each other on.” — Bobby Burney QUEEN’S BOUQUET - Jacque Jenkins, the 1984 Rodeo Queen receives a bouquet from the ’83 queen, Dawna Parrot, at the Oct.

Rodeo Queen 59 Glorious Moment 1984 Homecoming Queen is the student body’s way of showing respect and gratitude for the special ef¬ fect the young lady has had on the school. Shana graduated from Coahoma High School in 1982 and is planning to graduate from Sul Ross this summer. Sponsored in the queen competition by Mountainside South Dormitory, the pretty senior is involved in Phi Theta Mu sorority, Video Workshop and the Video Club. She was also second runner-up in the Miss Big Bend Contest last spring. — Bobby Burney At the beginning of the half-time cere¬ monies during the homecoming game, Saturday, November 3, Shana Souter had doubts that she would be crowned the 1984 Sul Ross homecoming queen. When the second half be¬ gan, she was no longer doubt¬ ful, but “honored and very shocked.” The surprise soon gave way to sincere joy as Shana will represent the spirit and integrity of Sul Ross and its students for a year.

Just like the crews that make up a production company, Sul Ross is composed of a variety of groups that all help the Lobos stand proud. There were more than 40 different organizations offered to Sul Ross students during the 1984-85 school year. Students could choose from academics, governmental, special interests, honor societies, and religious clubs, depending on one’s own interest. After-class activities seem to ease the pain of education. The following pages show just how meeting new friends and being a part of a group that shared our interests made it all worthwhile. nsfritf Come Meet the Lobos Each year the public is invited to meet the Lobos. It is a popular event and gives the students the recognition they well de¬ serve. This year Grady Blount, Sports In¬ formation Director, introduced the Lobos. The football and volleyball teams were on hand as well as the ball girls, cheerleaders and the Marching Lobo Band. Head coach, Ron Mays, offensive backfield coach Ray DeSpain, offensive coordinator Dennis Carpenter, and the rest of the Lobo coaches were also recognized. Following the introductions the public was invited to join the Lobos in a water¬ melon feast. This was a very informal oc¬ casion and gave everyone a chance to in¬ termingle. Meet the Lobos was a fun time for all. — Dicky Bain YEAH TEAM — Sandra Graves, Becky Pallanez and Olivia Swanson give their full, active support to the Lobos during Meet-the-Lobos day.

Love That Lobo Spirit There was more of an active sense of school spirit this year at Sul Ross, due to the efforts of our spirit groups. The fall semester got off to a good start when “Meet The Lobos” night was spon¬ sored by our cheerleaders and various members of the community. Added ener¬ gy and support came from groups such as our baseball team hooters. They dressed in a variety of costumes and stage ma¬ keup, cheering on our teams from the sidelines. The second annual Spring Sports Rally in mid-February introduced the basket¬ ball, baseball, track, rodeo, golf and tennis teams to SR fans and informed us of all the spring events coming. “Even though this is only our second spring rally, it has already become tradition at Sul Ross,” said Leslie Dunbaugh, head cheerleader on campus. Thanks to everyone, a great deal of pride and respect was maintained here at Sul Ross. — Blain Voorhees WOW MAN! — Lobo fans will go to any length to show team spirit, as Joe Holochwost proves at a Sul Ross football game.

Canterbury Club, Cheerleaders 77 Making a Big Splash One of the trademarks of Sul Ross is Sul Ross hill and a long running Homecoming tradition at the university is the painting of the Bar-SR-Bar. The Student Association is in charge of the event and everyone, from freshmen to seniors, is encouraged to take part in the painting. A little added encouragement is offered by Dr. Wayne Sheehan; any of his history class students who help whitewash the Bar-SR-Bar is giv¬ en bonus points. The event was a big success. Workers tracked up the hill toting brooms and the paint and whitewash mixture. The mix¬ ture was poured over the rocks and then spread with the brooms. When the job was finished, it was difficult to distinguish the students from the rocks; almost everyone had been covered with whitewash. The Bar-SR-Bar was also outlined with 5-gallon pails filled with kerosene which were lit Homecoming night. This was the renewal of an old tradition which had been discontinued for some time. — Dicky Bain THE ASCENT — Students made the trek up the MORE PAINT, PLEASE — Orlando Cedilla, Jack mountain lugging brooms and buckets of whitewash.

A Major Production This year the theme for the Homecom¬ ing parade was “They came, they saw, we conquered.” The Baptist Student Union always builds a float for the parade and this year there was added incentive ' because we had won first place last year. A brainstorming session took place, looking at the possibilities. We decided to go with a similar set up as last year. We modified the theme to “They came and they saw that with Christ we would con¬ quer” We built a wooden frame wrapped in chicken wire and “painted” a bright pic¬ ture of Sul Ross hill, a sun and a cross with crepe paper, tissue paper and napkins. The structure was mounted on a trailer pulled behind Brad Friesen’s truck. Just as the parade began and the float was pulled out of its shelter, the famous west Texas wind swept past, taking the skirt of the float with it. The float did not win a prize, but as it rode down Holland, the reflections of the sun on its bright colors were beautiful. — Brenda Gentry OLE! — A Spanish Club member, dressed Mexican style, waits for the Homecoming parade to begin down Holland Avenue.

But this was not the case for Lambda Alpha Epsilon this past year. They managed to shine brighter than ever. The club capped off the ’83-84 school year by placing three members in the national LAE competition held in Las Vegas. Two first places were brought home in the divisions of phys¬ ical agility and crime scene search, along with a second place finish in the firearms division. “Although it was only our first year to compete we did exceptionally well and plan to do even better this year,” said Tim Poston, chief of the Sul Ross Police Department and LAE sponsor. Even though expenses would be great again this year to travel to Atlan¬ ta, Georgia to compete, fund raisers were scheduled such as the rummage sale held in Welsh’s Village Market parking lot. Besides all other achievements, LAE members found time to sponsor several self defense and rape crisis courses, a handgun seminar, and several talks and demonstrations to groups and ser¬ vice organizations in the area. — Blain Voorhees GO JERE — Jere Madison attempts to get out of Robert Green’s vicious hold as they give a self- defense demonstration to the ladies of the Pilot Club.

Sometimes this is easier said than done. Many activities cost money and those funds must be raised by each club. Al¬ though fund raising is not always the high¬ light of any organization, it is a necessity and must be done to support other club projects. Money raisers started early with the Clip-n-Brand and Rodeo Clubs sponsoring food and drink booths at the annual rodeo held at the RAS arena. Weeks passed and students and faculty enjoyed baked goods in the SUB when the PBL club held its semesterly bake sale. The Student Union Building not only housed the PBL fund¬ raiser but also supplied a place for the Range and Wildlife Club to hold their post¬ er sales. As Homecoming festivities rolled around students found the Spanish Club and Phi Theta Mu sorority selling mums, again in the SUB. One of the highlights of the school year was the Spanish Club’s Miss Courageous Pageant. This was an all male beauty con¬ test which found Bret Parker its queen for a year. The Spring semester found the Biology Club putting on its annual plant sale, along with the LAE Club sponsoring a rummage sale to support its efforts. Money might not make the world go round but it sure sets a lot of campus organizations into motion. — Blain Voorhees GET YOUR TICKET HERE — Art Cohan and David Woodward make a transaction for the summer production of “Guys and Dolls at the Kokernot Outdoor Theatre.

Behind all of their efforts are their loyal rodeo fans and supporters. Without the support and help from behind the arena, the Sul Ross rodeos would not be the fast running en¬ joyable show that has been loved for so many years. The Rodeo Club is one of the biggest supporters of rodeo at Sul Ross. It has several members who just love the rodeo scenes and way of life and want to be a part of the action. They participate in the Sul Ross rodeos by helping behind the chutes, opening gates, setting up barrels, setting barriers for the roping events, keeping time and records, and helping their fellow rodeo team members prepare for the next ride. The Rodeo Club also has the task of hiring rodeo stock companies to supply the stock for the rodeos.

The Program Council decorated the Student Union Building, putting up a large tree decorated with a variety of orna¬ ments. Bulletin boards were wrapped in brightly colored wrapping paper, Christ¬ mas music was played by the ladies at the snack bar, and a SR brass band, The Al¬ pine Horns, played Christmas music by the tree. Decorating contests were held in dorms and departmental offices. This involved Santa Claus the decorating of doors and windows to enhance the beauty of the season. Prizes were also given out for the best decorated dorm rooms and offices. The University Food Service held its an¬ nual Christmas banquet with a traditional dinner, Christmas music and decorations. All the faculty and staff were invited to bring their families and share the dinner. The new university president, Dr. Jack Humphries, held a reception to meet the students in the SUB. Gingerbread cookies and wassail were served. As the last week of school came upon us and final exams drew to a close, spirits climbed higher as everyone anticipated going home. Bags were packed and cars were loaded, not only with personal be¬ longings but also with the holiday, spirit only the Christmas season brings. — Blain Voorhees “GETTING READY FOR SANTA” — There’s no mistaking that Christmas is near as Jeanette Stro- man and Jackie Strachen demonstrate. “DOORWAY TO CHRISTMAS” — Marcy Ga lindo and Kim Radford display a door decorated for Christmas at Mountainside. “CHRISTMAS MUSIC” — Nelson Dodson, Igna¬ cio Nunez, Miguel Porras, Dr. Jim Richerson, Alex Inman, David Breig, John Gilliam, Freddy Falcon, and Mike Hart provided Christmas music at the SUB. £u mm L , m mm PRE-LAW ASSOCIATION — Front row: Norma Richardson, Cheryl Scott, PROGRAM COUNCIL — Front row: Sponsor Maggie Miller, Margarita Cantu, President Christy York.

CANDID CAMERA — Chuck Clark and Lisa Terry shoot a segment for “Campus on Review” with Jeff Basch interviewing President Jack Humphries. All year long Sul Ross students, faculty, staff, and others throughout the communi¬ ty sit down and read or watch news per¬ taining to the University. Where does this news come from and how does it get to you? Campus informayon is taken in, edited, and published by three organizations at Sul Ross, the Skyline Staff, the Video Club, and the Brand Staff. The Skyline Staff publishes its weekly paper every Thursday, working all week long diligently collecting informative and appealing material to use in its paper. “After we have gathered all the informa¬ tion and organized it into presentable form, it is sent off to Monahans and pub¬ PAGE ONE — Skyline editor, Norma Duble and assistant editor Karen Cook make some decisions concerning another publication. lished,” said Norman Duble, editor of the Skyline. The Sul Ross Video Club is also in¬ volved in informing the public of major events. The club produces a program, “Campus on Review,” every five weeks. The Brand Staff, which organizes and puts together the yearbook, works year round taking photographs, doing inter¬ views and preparing layouts to make the book successful. The end result of all this work is finally published and released in early May each year. The 200 page year¬ book is filled with pictures and articles of the Sul Ross way of life. — Blain Voorhecs Rodeo Club 91 cardio-pulmonary resuscitation procedure in a CPR class offered to SR folk.

This was the case at Sul Ross all year long. To begin with, the whole community in Alpine extended open arms to Coach Ray DeSpain and family when wife Peggy’s cancer of the leg was diagnosed. Everyone worked together to set up fund¬ raisers, to give moral support, but overall to show the DeSpains just how much they are all loved by us. The semester continued with a blood drive sponsored by the Program Council and Student Association which collected about 200 pints of blood. Over the holiday season the ladies of Phi Theta Mu helped to decorate the local nursing home and to collect canned goods for needy families. The holiday spirit did not stop here, though. The BSU also vis¬ ited the nursing home for singing and fel¬ lowship, along with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes teaming up to also help families who were in need. — Blain Voorhees HOW DOES THIS LOOK? — Phi Theta Mumem ber, Yvonne Garcia, helps hang a name tag on a door at the local nursing home.

SGE 93 Building Foundations There were six organizations on campus this year sponsored by local churches and religious organizations. These organizations include the Baptist Student Union, Canterbury Club, Chi Al¬ pha, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Newman Club and the Wesley Student Center. Three of these organizations have student centers near campus where activi¬ ties are held. Dr. Paul Lister, director of the Newman Club, stated “Our purpose is to foster the religious and social life of Catholic stu¬ dents on campus.” The Newman center was completely renovated recently and a new chapel was added for the students. According to Wesley Student Center Director, Doug Neel, “Our purpose is to attempt to be a living example of the man Jesus Christ. This statement within itself might sound extremely religious or archa¬ ic. However, I am convinced this is what any Christian individual or organization should be about.” Similarly, Baptist Student Union Direc¬ tor Raymond Sanders remarked “The BSU is a family of university students on pilgrimage for Jesus Christ. We are a fam¬ ily that l aughs, cries, plans, and exper¬ iences life together. It is a growing, caring family which is small enough to need you, and yet, large enough to serve you.” These organizations serve as a home base for students at Sul Ross, a place for worship, relaxation and a lot of fun activi¬ ties. — Brenda Gentry NEW CHAPEL — The Catholic Student Center recently added a chapel to the newly renovated fa¬ cility.

We’re do¬ ing the best we can and will continue to do our best for the whole student body. We appreciate any feedback we can get.” Student Association is made up of re¬ presentatives from the various major fields and classes. This governing body is responsible for traffic court, student ap¬ peals, campus elections and the approval of requests for new organizations on cam¬ pus. Another student governing body, Stu¬ dent President’s Assoc., provides commu¬ nication between all organizations on cam¬ pus and keeps everyone informed of uni¬ versity activities. They participate in charity drives, community interest, blood drives and student activity day. — Brenda Gentry GOOD IDEA — Scott Kessner and David Kyser discuss plans that the Program Council has for the coming semester.

Making Things Happen Each semester the Program Council sponsors various concerts, comedians, and other activities to involve the student body at Sul Ross. These programs are put on to make college life more interesting and exciting for you, the student. All year long alumni attended and en¬ joyed a great deal of performances which the Program Council provided. The fall semester brought “Atlanta” on campus which turned out a large number of students. The group involved the entire audience in singing, hand shaking, and clapping. The concert turned out to be a major success with all who attended. Again, this time in the spring, students enjoyed another on campus performance by “Gene Cotton”. Students once again enjoyed a great concert and had a chance to get involved. Thanks to the Program Council and oth¬ er dedicated people on campus events such as these took place and brightened the lives of many. —Blain Voorhees CROWD PLEASER — Sue Ross students enjoy Atlanta’s toe tapping, hand clapping fall concert in the Main Auditorium.

Prior to home football games, one could always see the band members busily loading equipment to go to the practice field, or one could walk into the Fine Arts building and hear one of the members practicing. A regular week of practice would include at least one hour a day, some night practice and Saturday morn¬ ings before a game. Director, Michael Hart says, “Every section is up this year except trumpet and percussion. We do have three very good trumpet players. We had a difficult year because of recruitement problems but 1 think we held our own with only a 4% decrease compared to the university’s 10% decrease. Each year the band goes to one out-of- town game. This year a trip to Sherman was highlighted by a short detour at Six Flags which was enjoyed by all. Hart says, “There is always room for more members and no auditions are nec¬ essary. In fact, most members are not mu¬ sic majors. Some band members are also active in jazz band and orchestra. Hart was aided this year by band assis¬ tant, Dale Norris, and drum major, Miguel PorraS. —Brenda Gentry TWIRLERS — Senior, Annette Mendoza and Ju¬ nior, Tiffany Gaiko work together with the marching band to perform half-time entertainment. GO TEAM GO — Members of the Lobo marching band help rouse the spirit of spectators and cheer on the fighting Lobos. With the help of the positive attitudes and enthusiastic support of the coaches, we Lobos sought to shine during the 1984-1985 sports season. When we made the winning touchdown, sunk the crucial free throw, scored the tie-breaking run, or took home All Around Cowboy Cowgirl honors, we experienced the joy of being in the limelight. We played as a team, and stuck behind each other as friends. Our young and inexperienced players worked hard to keep up the winning Sul Ross tradition. From football games to tennis tournaments, fans completely supported our fighting Lobos. The smallest clap of the hands let the players know that we were behind them 100 percent. The following pages are a brief replay of the long, hard hours of practice, and how we shared the sucess of a game well played. Hopes for Fourth Conference Win in ’84 Attempts to Rebuild Football Team The Sul Ross Lobos opened their ’84 season with the pressure of a winning tradition looming higher than ever. The team had lost all five NAIA All — District athletes as well as several TIAA All-Conference team members. They started the new season with 67 out of more than 100 team members surviving the final cut in preseason practices. The Lobos faced a situation where new stars would have to await discovery on the playing field in actual competition. — Brand Staff ( I WHERE ARE YOU? — Gilbert Moroles, who was discovered last year when the team needed a quarterback, searches for an open re¬ ceiver. He led the con¬ ference in ’84 in passing with a season average of more than 184 yards per game.

He later con¬ nected for a 32-yd touchdown pass. 106 Football Penalties Erode Offensive Effort The Lobos started the ’84 season with two non-conference wins, 20-14 over the Western New Mexico Univer¬ sity Mustangs and 21-13 over New Mexico Highlands University Cowboys. The Gilbert Moroles to Maurice Ste¬ phens combination was working; David Creek was on track kicking extra points and field goals. The turning point in the season came with a 10-23 loss to the Panhandle State Aggies to end a four year home game winning streak at Jackson Field. The penalty-ridden contest saw Moro- les’s ankle injured in the opening min¬ utes of the game, with Todd McVey as replacement. The conference opener with arch ri¬ val Austin College was a disappointing game with the Lobos playing unin¬ spired football. Moroles was still nurs¬ ing his sprained ankle. A McVey-Andy DuBose touchdown pass and a Ste¬ phens touchdown, and a quarter back sack in the end zone by Greg Fore gave the Lobos their points in the 16-16 tie game. Wade West was the Lobos lead¬ ing receiver; Benny Granger had 6 punts for 262 yards. Penalties (5) still plagued the Lobos. In the second conference match, a 14-30 loss to Tarleton, Sul Ross domi¬ nated the game offensively but the of¬ fensive attack could not compensate for the turnovers that hounded the Lo¬ bos all night. Six interceptions cost the Lobos more than 100 return yards. The 13-16 loss to McMurry started with a 7-0 Lobo lead well into a 13-13 tie game which was won in the final minute when an Indian defender picked off a Moroles pass getting up a Indian field goal in the final second of the game. The lobos finished the season with a 14-17 loss to Tarleton, a Homecoming 12-9 win over Austin College and a 13- 27 loss to McMurry. — Bobby Burney ALMOST: — Lobo de¬ fensive back Maurice Stu- dymire (25) tries to block a reception during the Pan¬ handle game at Sul Ross.

Football 107 TIAA Honors Despite Losses WHAT A KICK — De¬ fensive back, Wayne Thorpe, watches from the sideline as one of his fel¬ low teammates attempts a field-goal. Despite the 1-4-1 conference record for the Lobos, 11 members of the squad were selected for the 1984 TIAA All-Conference teams. Named to the first team All-Confer¬ ence were Galveston sophomore Tom Homrighaus, San Antonio senior Wade West, and LeFeria junior Steve Cox. Homri ghaus is an offensive lineman for the Lobos. West is the top-rated wide receiver who caught more than four dozen passes during the season. Cox was the unanimous choice for return specialist. Named to first team All-Conference defense were Lobos Carl Lee and Wayne Thorp. Lee is a senior from San Antonio and Thorp is a junior from Mertzon. Both are appearing on the All-Conference team for the second straight season. Six Lobos were named to the second team All-Conference unit including quarterback Gilbert Moroles and offen¬ sive tackle Joe Garza. Moroles is a ju¬ nior from Edinburg who led the confer¬ ence in passing with a season average of more than 184 yards per game. He also completed more passes, 138, than any other quarterback in the TIAA this year. Garza, also from Edinburg, is a junior who was described as one of the most consist ent lineman in the TIAA this season. Running back Maurice Stephens, a junior from Liberty Hill, was also named to the All-Conference second team. He led the TIAA in total scoring with seven touchdown and 42 points. He finished fourth among receivers in the TIAA. Also included on the All-Conference second team were nose guard Israel Garza, linebacker Mark Pavlovsky and defensive tackle Kagan Hutton. Garza is a sophomore from McAllen who com¬ piled a record of 57 tackles during the season. Pavlovsky, a San Antonio senior, had 52 tackles along with three quarter¬ back sacks and an interception. Hut¬ ton, a freshman from Mt. Belview who played in all nine Sul Ross games this year, had more than 40 tackles plus two quarterback sacks. Receiving ace Wade West was nomi¬ nated by both TIAA and NAIA officials as one of the top five players. COMING THROUGH — Houston junior and Lobo running back, Bernie Beal (43), carries the ball against Nueva Leon in the 42-30 victory. 108 Football LONG DISTANCE — Steve Cox, TIAA All- Conference Player, carried the ball for a 100- yard kick-off return and a 74-punt return in this game.

Playing the TIAA conference tour¬ nament at home, the volleyball team re-established the hold they have held on the conference title. After what Coach Kay Whitley re¬ ferred to as a slow start, the team merged together to win the champion¬ ship for the seventh time in nine years, and place four girls on the All-Confer¬ ence team. Lisa Buentello and Shirley Bowen were both named to the All-TIAA first team. In addition, Buentello was named co-Most Valuable Player of the league. Making the Honorable Mention squad were Vicky Vidana and Olivia Swanson. Despite the outstanding results at the conference tournament, the team did not get an invitation to the district play-offs. Coach Whitley explained that there were not enough teams in the TIAA for SR to get an automatic bid. Whitley said, “We felt badly not go¬ ing to the play-offs. We got good at the end of the season, but we didn’t get a break.” — Bobby Burney VOLLEYBALL TEAM: Front row — Linda Davila, Christy Valenzuela, Lisa Buentello, Anabel Granado, Olivia Swanson, Becky Pallanez, Lynn Molinar.

Riding Events Sul Ross is well known for its rodeo program and students have come from all over the United States to be on the SR rodeo teams. The men’s team brought home the College National Finals Rodeo title from Boseman, Mont, in 1982 and 1983 and came close in 1984. The 1984-85 year saw a strong re¬ turning women’s team which came in first in most rodeo competitions. The men’s team was in a rebuilding stage and came in first or was close in points to the team that took first in most rodeos. Outstanding rodeo team members were Tuff Hedeman, Todd Watkins, Tami Noble and Jacque Jenkins who took All-Around Honors in many of the rodeos. Girl’s team members who by Febru¬ ary had also contributed points to the team total were Jinita Williams, Jana Smith, Candy Watts and Bobbie Acton. Additional contributors to the men’s team were Phillip Graf, Bob Stewart, Clinton Brown, Les Hale, Brad Wilson, Glyn Hutton, Justin Danley, Bart Wil¬ kinson, Bobby Tharp, Beto Hinojosa, Craig Foster, Craig McMillan, Ken Browder, Curtis Evans and Ed Vickers. At the end of February, the teams had five NIRA rodeos left and it looked like both teams would qualify for an¬ other trip to Boseman for the CNFR. — Brand Staff HANG IN THERE — “Cat Dancer” gave Dur¬ ango, Colorado cowboy, Rodney Scott, a ride he was determined to tackle.

Timed Events “To maintain the rodeo program at Sul Ross,” Rodeo Coach John Ma¬ honey said, “we need quality students with talent.” Obviously, that is what the rodeo team has as they continued their strong performances by narrowly miss¬ ing their third straight title at the Col¬ lege National Finals Rodeo at Boze¬ man, Montana in June. Tuff Hedeman, El Paso junior, gar¬ nered enough points to earn him All- Around Cowboy honors at the CNFR. Joining Hedeman on this year’s team was freshman sensation Todd Watkins. Between the two, they won All-Around Cowboy titles at four different rodeos during the fall semester. As a team, SR also won four rodeos during the fall, and are gearing for the CNFR again this year. At the Sul Ross NIRA rodeo in October, the team cap¬ tured a first place finish. By winning the Southwest Region, the team will make their seventh con¬ secutive trip to CNFR, and will be try¬ ing for their third title in the past four years. —Bobby Burney SAY WHEN — Marty Acton watches TURN HIM BACK — Tami Noble the roper in the box and awaits the heads a steer and turns it back for roping “okay” to open the gate. partner Bob Stewart. 116 Rodeo “To maintain the rodeo program at Sul Ross, we need quality stu¬ dents with talent.” — John Mahoney YOU GOT HIM — Ozona cowboy, Will M.

Rodeo Coach John Mahoney says that the Southwest Region is the most competitive in the nation. If so, then Tami Noble has conquered the nation. For the third consecutive year, Tami has won All-Around cowgirl honors in the region. Tami set the title as a goal for herself before the season and she says she is overjoyed to receive the award. The honors did not come easy to the cowgirl, though. Tami lists discipline and fitness as her two main assets. “A lot of self discipline is required to be on the rodeo team because you have to practice and discipline yourself to workout,” she said. “It’s so important to keep physically fit.” Tami said that comradeship and a positive outlook are also vital in her grueling sport. “We have a good, strong competitive team and help each other out the best we can. And we keep a good mental attitude even when things don’t work out,” she added. But things continue to work out for Tami. — Bobby Burney r IS ALL-AROUND COWGIRLS — Women’s All Around honor at this fall’s NIRA Rodeo was a tie between Tami Noble and an ENMU Cowgirl.

The Lobos cap¬ tured the game 10-9. The Sul Ross baseball team opened its second year of play with a young team and a tough schedule. For a team made up of about 80 percent freshmen and sophomores, the schedule of 52 games, 50 of which were against larger, scholarship schools, was definitely a challenge. The team was ready for the chal¬ lenge. Action against top quality oppo¬ nents was the best way to gain experi¬ ence. The team was coached by new head coach Byron Brooks and assistant coach Tom Chandler. “With our four best hitters and almost all of our de¬ fense back, we expect to do one hun¬ dred percent better than last year,” said Brooks of this year’s Lobo team. —Blain Vorhces OUTFIELD — Front row: Brett Parker, Kent Parr, Ted Leps, John Bowman.

The other games were lost to WNMU 2-1 and 16-2. The team was thrilled with the wins and encouraged to continue to expend the energy it will take to put Sul Ross back up at the top in college baseball. Brooks, who played his collegiate baseball at Willamette, and Chandler, who played four years with Texas A M, are pleased with the team. “In all of our years combined in base¬ ball,” Coach Brooks said, Neither Coach Chandler or I have ever worked with a group of men who were more determined to work as hard as these men have. What more can we ask for?” — Blain Vorhees A LITTLE LATE — A Western New Mexico Uni¬ versity player narrowly escaped the tag by a Sul Ross ball player. WNMU also narrowly won the game 2-1.

The 1984-85 Lobos went through a re¬ building program this past year. Coach Johnny Brown stepped in as the new head coach to lead the team through the trying season. Twenty-nine players began the season but only eight finished. “Obviously,” Coach Brown said, “of the 21 lost were starters, potential starters, key reserves, and of course, talent. Considering injuries, ineligibility, transfers, and the fact that we had no recruiting whatsoever, we have had exactly the kind of year expected of us.” Coach Brown’s philosophy, as well as the team’s philosophy, was to “play with the hand dealt to us and play with maxi¬ mum effort.” And the Lobos did just that. They were competitive in 16 out of ap¬ proximately 28 games and 7 games were lost by 3 pts. or less. The Lobos were forced to play above their potential in many games. “We played over our heads on many occasions against NCAA schools,” commented Brown, “but we didn’t play well against teams of the same talent range.” Coach Brown also added that he was extremely pleased with the effort put out by the Lobos. — Dicky Bain BASEBALLTEAM — Front row: Chris Coursey, Gabriel Garcia, Pete Mata, Jo Jo Walsh, Wendell Cooper, Aubrey Kennedy, Eric Felt, Chris Becker, Leonard Coleman.

For most coaches the task of taking over a new team is often diffi¬ cult. But Acosta’s task wouldn’t be as hard because he had a great bunch of women to work with. Last year’s team had just come off of a playoff making season and this year’s team would make it two in a row. “At the first of the year the team got together and set some goals for them¬ selves which included winning the con¬ ference and making it to the playoffs,” said Coach Pete Acosta. “And I’m real¬ ly proud of how they worked hard to accomplish these goals.” Over all, the season was truly suc¬ cessful. The women showed pride and determination and worked together as a team. “Most teams have one or two outstanding players,” Coach Acosta said, “but we had a total team effort.” — Dicky Bain Paul Brown (11) jumps and shoots for two points against McMurry with Diane Medlin standing by for a rebound.

The women’s basketball tradition at Sul Ross is growing stronger and stron¬ ger with each year. Since the women’s basketball program was established at Sul Ross in 1976, the team has erupted into a powerful force. This year the Ladies finally beat Tar- leton in one game, giving the girls their first ever share of the conference crown. Tarleton and Sul Ross were co¬ champs. The past two seasons have culminat¬ ed with playoff births for the Lady Lo- bos. This could very well be the case for next year, too. The Ladies played Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls. Numberwise, the Lady Lobos won’t be losing much from this year’s team, but Coach Pete Acosta said, “We will be losing leadership.” He went on to add that he is “confident that other girls will fill these spots.” — Dicky Bain TIME OUT — The Lady Lobos listen intently as Coach Pete Acosta gives the team instructions and a pep talk during a time out.

The team be¬ gan preparation early and laid a solid base for later in the season. Coach Bulloch came to Sul Ross this past year and inherited a team with great potential and determination. Al¬ though a young team, these runners managed to bring home eleven team medals in last year’s conference meet. Even more surprising than the over¬ all performance of the team in last year’s conference meet was the perfor¬ mance of two sprinters, Hector San¬ chez and John Lewis. These two run¬ ners qualified for the National Track Meet in West Virginia. Unfortunately, due to lack of track funds, these two were unable to attend. Bulloch has high hopes for this year’s team. “If we run up to our potential,” Coach Bulloch said, “we will be able to compete well at all of our meets this year and may even capture the confer¬ ence title.” — Blain Voorhces WOMEN’S TRACK TEAM — Coach Stanton Bulloch, Tracy Stolte, Pauline Hernandez, Demetra Dranes, Linda Davila, Dawn Henry.

In addition to the regular sched¬ ule, the Odessa College team also traveled to Alpine for a tennis match. “Although we are a much youn¬ ger team than in years past,” said Coach Kay Whitley, “we are again looking forward to a good and com¬ petitive season. — Brand Staff GAME, SET, MATCH — Tennis team members Ted Bedwell, Melinda Nicholson, Eleazar Cano, Gary Callego, and Tissy Davis work hard through another day of practice.

This production took about nine months to complete. For many of the characters it was the start of a new career, for others their career was coming to a close with this production. A production cannot be successful without the cooperation of the entire crew. Opening night came and went. Closing night arrived before we expected it. The production was a success, only taking shape after months of hard work, retakes, and numerous amounts of editing. The reward for months, and for some of us years, of hard work was the ultimate... an “Academy Award.” No one deserves it more than the “Cast of Characters” at Sul Ross.

I also needed the money,” he added. This year at Sul Ross, many college students helped pay their way through school by taking var¬ ious jobs in the Alpine area or at Sul Ross. Some of these jobs not only helped students financially but also aided them in their particular area of study. Lab instructor jobs were available at Sul Ross in almost every department. Students were hired to teach Spanish language lab and business labs for word processing and shorthand dictation classes. Many of the industrial arts, science, and range ani¬ mal science labs needed graduate assistants. Students such as Dale Norris, working as band assistant, and David Swanson and Pete Acosta working as student assistant coaches were actually involved in helping a group of individuals work to¬ gether as a team toward a common goal. Being a part time worker and a full time student took a special effort on the part of those students. They not only had to try to maintain the quality of their work and study but also try at the same time to set aside time for personal activities and a social life. It can be seen that those students who have working positions, along with regular activities and studies are very special. — Blain Voorhees IT’S ALIVE — Graduate lab assistant, Richard Pfeil, helps Mel Spiller identify the unrecognizable plant in botany lab during the summer session. 138 Graduates Cheng, Li-Feng, Taiwan Cheung, Ting Chor, Hong Kong Chumworatayi, Panatep, Thailand Chung, Chi-Keung, Hong Kong Collinsworth, Bart, Louisville Colon, Chris, Wauseon, OH Cosgrove, Linda, Midland Daniel, Michael, Imperial Daud, Awangku Hussein, Malaysia Fulbright, Eddie, Alpine Gentry, Brenda, Carlsbad, NM Gomez, Aiberico, Hebbronville Gomez, Angela G., Laredo Green, Margaret, Odessa Hong, Ching-Sang, Taiwan Jermin, Huang, Taiwan Johnson, Lee, Midland Joyomi, Roghiyeh A., Iran Kemp, David, El Paso Kodah, Eyad Jamal, Jordan Kyser, David, Alpine Light, Karen, Hamilton Lim, Wee Chai, Malaysia Lin, W.A., Taiwan Liu, Yei L, Taiwan Lobue, Anthony, Alpine Lowe, Kristy Ann, Chihuahua, MX Mao, Jolene, Taiwan Mousa, Mahmoud, Jordan Nasser, Ahmed Ali, Egypt Nelson, Kerri, Alpine Ngwu, Edward, Nigeria Norris, Dale, Merryville, LA Rippy, Wesley, Hurst Rodriguez, Fernando, El Paso Graduates 139 Scott, Susan, Dripping Springs Shellum, Colin, Albuquerque, NM Shyu, Ji-Hwa, Taiwan Sieck, Daniel P., Ft.

In talking to international students on campus, it seems they all have an interesting story as to how they heard about Sul Ross. Jia-Hwa Shyu of Taiwan said he first found out about Sul Ross when he found a catalog in an apart¬ ment in Taiwan. He and his wife moved here after he graduated from a university there. Jia-Hwa is a gradu¬ ate business administration major. He said Alpine is very comfortable, the people are kind and the profes¬ sors are friendly. Before leaving Taiwan he was told Texans had a very heavy accent, but he said the Eng¬ lish here is very understandable. As for other international students, like Walid Haba- shi from Palestine, they hear about Sul Ross from friends in their countries who attended Sul Ross. Some receive scholarships to attend while others are sup¬ ported solely by their families. — Brenda Gentry — Graduates -★ SP rUc ib Bailey, Jer riann, San Antonio Basch, Jeff, El Paso Bateman, John, Dalhart Becker, Chris, El Paso Bedwell, Jr., Ted, Lenorah Bell, Amie, Monahans Benavidez, Louisa D., Marfa Benavidez, Teresa, Marfa Bennett, Jeffrey, Arlington Berry, Jr., Delbert M.

Stockton Elms, Martha Ryan, Marfa This summer, I had the opportunity to attend geology field camp. The summer presented me with a test of endurance, both physically and emo¬ tionally, as well as the chance to see some striking scenery which I didn’t even know existed so close to Alpine. Field campers very quickly learn to accept that they have to put up with gnat swarms, climbing mountains in the summer sun, and sleeping in tents that fall down in the wind during flash floods. Once, a flash flood in Whites City, N.M. made an arroyo look like the Rio Grande. As the road leaving the campground was flooded, I had to wade up to my waist in white water to get to the store one morning. When I got across, the store was closed. The fierce summer sun is not exactly the best environment for working during the day, but it is always very relaxing in the heat of the afternoon to visit a tinaja or a stock tank and cool off. This was especially true at Sitting Bull Falls in Lincoln Na¬ tional Forest, where there are pools of water above and below the falls and a small cave behind the falls. The last trip of the course was Big Bend National Park. Our professors gave us a light work load on that trip, and we had the opportunity to swim in the river at Boquillas Canyon. Since we had a lot of rainfall in the summer, the river was up and moving fast. We were even able to cliff dive there. The last night, I went with some other people to Boquillas. It was very difficult to cross the high river, and the town was closed down. We borrowed one of the boats and all of the paddles to get back, thinking about the man who would have to swim across to get his boat. — Norman Duble WHAT A SIGHT — Paul Laverty, Laurie Shannon and a classmate from N.

A Touch ★ of Star ★ Quality In the Limelight Very few athletes can go from college sports to the pro ranks and make a living. The level of competition eliminates all but the most expert athletes. SR senior Tuff Hedeman fits into that category. Hedeman took home numerous honors from the more than 100 Professional Rodeo Cowboy Associ¬ ation and college rodeos in which he competed in 1984. At the SR NIRA fall rodeo he won bull riding and saddle bronc competition and All-Around Cowboy honors. By November he earned $44,000 prize mon¬ ey in bull riding alone. In December he was sixth in bull riding in the PRCA national finals. A current goal of Hedeman’s is the All-Around Cow¬ boy Title at the June National NIRA College Rodeo Finals. He was second last year. SR Rodeo Coach John Mahoney explains that com¬ ing from SR is a disadvantage. ‘Anyone in the South¬ west Region is at a disadvantage because there are fewer long and short go-round rodeos. More points are accumulated in these rodeos, so people in other re¬ gions have a big advantage.” Mahoney also said that the Southwest region is the most competitive in the nation. With Tuff Hedeman riding, it certainly is. — Bobby Burney 144 Seniors Gonzales, Becky, Ft. Stockton Gonzales, Elizabeth, Ft. Stockton Gonzales, Gavino, Van Horn Gooden, Allen, Ft.

The capture took place in two stages over a two-day period. The first day a special corral was built. On the second day the pronghorn were herded into the vicini¬ ty of the corral by helicopter while Texas Parks and Wildlife members and SR students and personnel hid in a ditch near the corral. When the pronghorn came close, the ground crew jumped up and herded the animals into the enclosure. The animals were then picked up individually and tagged, aged and sexed, blood tests taken and antibiotic shots administered before the pronghorn were taken by trailer to Arizona. Cogar commented, “The capture went really well and there were no mortalities”. — Brenda Gentry NEXT IN LINE — Sul Ross students Mike Blanchard and Dusty Evans hold one of the pronghorns captured for a big horn sheep trade with Arizona Game and Fish Commission. 146 Seniors Nelson, Bobbi Dawn, Denver City Nelson, Shonda, Alpine Noble, Tami, Yale, OK Northcut, Bill, Big Spring Northcut, William, Big Spring Null, Billy, Marfa Nunez, Daniel, Alpine Olivas, Robert, Alpine Olson, Eric M., Sonora Omar, Husam K., Zarka, Jordan Padilla, Kimberly, Ozona Palmero, Linda Gay, Sinton Parker, Brett, Lub bock Parkinson, Don, Waco Parrott, Dawna, Midland Patton, Sandra, New Braunfels Pavlovsky, Mark, San Antonio Pelton, Tyler Lee, Dallas Porras, Maria, Coyanosa Preiss, James E., Arlington Seniors 147 A ★Touch ★ of Star ★ Quality MOMMIE, MOMMIE! — This “little baby” was well-taken care of by one of the student teachers in Dr. Carmichael’s Human Growth and Development class. HOW CUTE — Steve White, Tracie Stolte, Ted Bedwell, Rick Blucher, Scotty Riddle and Pat Larum make their judgments as to who had the cutest and best-kept baby. Handle With Care In the fall, students in Dr. Karla Carmichael’s Human Growth and Devel¬ opment class completed a week long project designed to illustrate some of the responsibilities involved in the caring of an infant. On Monday, each student was given a raw egg which they were to decorate, name, and care for until Friday. The student had to take his egg everywhere he went or hire a babysitter. Class members reported a number of mishaps and adventures. An unat¬ tended egg rolled from a desk and met an untimely demise. Another unattended egg was kidnapped and returned only after its owner met kidnapper demands which included circling the SR Lobo fountain singing “Amazing Grace” and leaving a 6-pack of beer in the fountain. The project was concluded Friday with a baby contest. Winners were the eggs of Eunice Carrillo, first; Gavino Gonzales, second; Sandy Romanelli, third; and Shonda Nelson, fourth. Dr. Carmichael says the course is becoming more demanded by the students and seems to be very successful. Carmichael says, “The thing I regret most about the class, is that the course is not longer”. The course is a six week block course required of student teachers. — Brenda Gentry 148 Seniors Frickett, Ronald F., Houston Purvis, Milton, Corrigan Quisenberry, Dennis, Seminole Riddle, Scotty, Big Spring Rodriguez, Maria E., El Paso Roll, Walter, Blue Ridge Romanelli, Sandra, Del Rio Rudine, Shannon, Houston Rydolph, Kennard M., Corpus Christi Saenz, Velma, Pearsall Salas, Lorena, Alpine Sanchez, Elizabeth, Marfa Sandate, Rose Mary, Alpine Scott, Stephen D., San Antonio Shannon, Gregory, San Angelo Shannon, Laurie Ann, Morgan City, LA Silva, Semy, Edinburg Slight, David, Alpine Speer, Donna L., Del Rio Stegall, Darlene, Sanderson Stewart, Bob, Andrews Stewart, James, Andrews Tavarez, Ismael, Odessa Teague, Clinton, Camp Verde, AZ Tilley, Randy, Sulphur Spring Turner, Scott, Marfa Vickers, Kim, Lorida, FL Walker, Belinda Caren, Graham Wallace, Robbin, Austin Ward, Dona, Alpine Ward, Tanya, Ft.

A number of public administrators were invited to Sul Ross State University to address graduate stu¬ dents in Dr. Dale Christophersen’s public administra¬ tion course. Public administrators from Alpine, Brew¬ ster County, Marfa, and the surrounding towns took time out to advise students preparing for careers in the public administration field. Mr. William Hopper, Pecos city manager, was the first of the scheduled guest speakers. In his address he pointed out to students that people change careers a number of times in their work lives. “Keep looking for what you want to do and what you are the best at,” he advised. “Patience is important,” Hopper said, “because things don’t happen immediately.” He stressed the need for integrity as being absolutely necessary. “Its important,” Hopper stated, “to avoid even the ap¬ pearance of lack of integrity.” He said that a city manager has an obligation to the city officials who hired him and to the citizens he is serving. “A city manager should be approachable,” Hopper pointed out. “In dealing with the media one should not fight them off. Cooperate with them; you may be able to provide them with the information that they need.” “Don’t argue with a man who buys ink by the bar¬ rel,” Hopper suggested. “It is better to be ‘quietly efficient,’ he said, “than anything else.” — Rosie Garibay PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR LECTURE — Pecos City Manager William Hopper was the first speaker in a series of public adminis¬ trators to lecture to Dr. Christophersen’s public administration class. Juniors 151 A Touch of ★ Star ★ Quality Talk of the Town Wednesday morning, Dec. 5, found the Sul Ross casts of “Laundry and Bourbon” and “Lone Star” sitting stiffly in auditorium chairs, acutely aware of another performer’s presence. That performer, Harold Gould, with parts in more than 300 television shows, 20 films and more than 50 plays, was there not as a professional actor, but as an observer and critic for the American College Theatre Festival being held at UT El Paso. Members of the Sul Ross Theatre Department were there to hear the critique on the performance of the two companion plays presented the night before. As Gould began to speak about the SRSU performances he had seen the previous evening, the actors’ demeanor began to change. “I am not a Texan,” began Gould, “I have no idea of the city that’s being represented here. But my ear tells me, and the gut reaction that I have is that there really is something authentic being played here. I am getting the feeling of some sort of insight into the lives of these people. There is the smell, the feel, the flavor that is specific, and for the most part caught.” During the 45 minute critique, faces became visibly less tense, even smiled; actors sat more easily in their chairs and shared laughs and ideas with Gould and the other ACTF participants. Gould said he liked the simpleness of Ray’s character in “Lone Star.” John Firestone, who portrayed Ray, was nominated for the Irene Ryan scholarship for Scting for his performance. Marianne Bertram received an award from Amoco, for excellence in directing. — Karen Cook 152 Junior Gurnas, Howard, Richard Harney, Laura, Corpus Christi Hathaway, Kevin W., Victoria Henderson, Jim, Wink Herring, Sophia, El Paso Hinkel, Patsy, Bebbronville Hinojosa, Beto, Falfurrias Huckaby, Cindy, Ft.

When Steve played high school football, the coaches didn’t give him much of a chance to play in college. Now that he is in college, all doubts should be removed. Although Steve is still considered diminua- tive in stature for college ball, he stands 5 ' 4V2 and weighs 160 pounds, the La Feria junior this year was ranked in the top three nationally in both kick-off and punt return averages. Steve does not think his size has been a disadvantage. It hasn’t been so much of a physical obstacle as much as a mental spring¬ board, according to Steve. “I started playing football when I was 6 years old,” he says. “People kept telling me I couldn’t do it. I have to prove it to them and to myself.” The proof so far has been a brilliant high school career in which Steve played offense, defense and specialty teams for four years. As a running back, he never gained less than 1,000 yards in a single season. At Sul Ross he immediately made himself known as a freshman by running for 108 yards and a touchdown against New Mexico Military Institute. Since then, he has scored nine other touchdowns and has become one of the best kick returners in Sul Ross history. This year against Nueva Leon he sped his way to a 100-yard kick-off return and a 74- yard punt return totaling 270 yards and two touchdowns on seven returns. A life of a kick returner is not a glorious one, however. Steve has suffered two kidney ruptures, broken ribs, concussions and broken fingers and toes. “You’ve got io take the pain in order to play the game,” Steve says. “I worry about the pain after the game. During it, I block out the pain; I have to.” — Bobby Burney WINDED — An exhausted Steve Cox takes a momen¬ tary rest on the shoulder of a fellow Lobo after a 100- yard kick-off return at a game with Nuevo Leon.

I don’t think that it will be possible to put a partisan or a conservative vs. liberal label on it for years; hindsight is always clearer. The movement has been one of interest and involvement of a traditionally apathetic group, the collegiate voter. Our predecessors of 15 years ago may have carried signs, which may still have a place in 1984, even at Sul Ross, but this year students utilized the full set of options in realizing their political voice. The 1984 U.S. Senate race was particularly valuable in our education. Two effective candidates with well articulated and plainly different views squared off. Sul Ross students had both sides of a sometimes vocal discussion to view, and both campaigns locally would have been mere shadows without student involvement. Those of us who were deeply involved learned intricacies of media relations, finance, p sychology and organization that no class could ever bring to life. The many who helped for an hour or a day learned to make their voice heard. — Paul Laverty ...

When Up With People performed at Sul Ross last spring, Brian interviewed for a spot in the troop and was one of the few selected. Up With People consists of five international casts, made up of students aged 17-25. They travel world¬ wide performing musical productions. “My third semester at SR,” said Brian, was one of much uncertainty. J wasn’t sure which way to go next. My acceptance to UWP was a real answer to prayer. This year of experience may not decide my future, but it will give me a chance to examine myself.” Brian began his UWP tour in January with a five week training session in Tucson, Arizona. The spring semes¬ ter his group traveled all over the United States. The fall semester they will travel across Europe. Brian’s tour with UWP will end in late December. “My travels and experiences with UWP will be priceless in that they are something I will always be able to fall back on,” Brian said. __ „ — Sharon Smith HARVEY? — In the fall theatre production of Harvey, Brian portrayed the judge and found himself talking to Elwood’s niece (Pam Gaddis) about an invisible rabbit.

Although the majority of these students are I.A. majors, many students take these classes looking for ways to spend their leisure time constructively. Robert Bowden, one of the four I.A. instructors, said, “Most of our classes in the I.A. de¬ partment are taught in work¬ shops and require that a project be completed each semester, but we also offer strictly lecture courses with classroom instruction that are just as effective.” Bow¬ den went on to say, “Because of our on-the- job teaching capabilities we produce many fine young men and women who become successful after college.” Some of the classes offered in the Indus- is Cast trial Arts program include woodwork, metalwork, welding, photography, architec¬ tural drafting and home planning, automo¬ tive mechanics and upholstery. The depart¬ ment has a woodwork shop, a metalwork and welding shop, and a photography lab. Even more interesting than the open- ended classrooms is the I.A. scholarship program. Each semester students contract building jobs around the area for experi- ence. In return for I.A. services the contrac¬ tors in the area donate funding to the schol¬ arship fund. In this manner students not only benefit others but benefit themselves as well. The philosophy of the Industrial Arts De¬ partment coincides and supports the philos¬ ophy of the University in providing opportu¬ nities for a teaching-learning environment in which the student may acquire the knowl¬ edge necessary for a professional and liberal education. — Blain Voorhees 160 Sophomores Smidt, Penny, Big Spring Smith, Sharon, El Paso Soil, Lisa, El Paso Spriggs, Debra, Alpine Stanley, Robert, Alice Stevens, Ann L., El Paso Stone, Dan, Roanoke Tang, Ching-Lan, Taiwan Thee, Sheri, Voca Torres, Vidal, Alpine Usrey, Stuart, Midland Vasquez, Esther, Ft.

Big Bend Memorial initiated the program to draw more nurses to this area, since most LVNs previously looked to larger cities for employment. To enter the program, prospective students must have a high school diploma or the equivalent, good health, a personal interview with Director Burton and approval of the Vocational Nursing Admissions Com¬ mittee, as well as a passing score on the preliminary entrance exam. When interviewing, Burton looks for personal ap¬ pearance, maturity, interest, and a willingness to see the program through. “We have a 25% attrition rate,” she said. “It’s a very demanding program. One year in vocational nursing could be compared to the credit hours gained in three years at the university. I try to r� m lv � n.iv select individuals who will stick with it.” Burton also looks for prospective students with some knowledge of themselves as people. “In inter¬ views I always ask what students like best about them¬ selves, and what they like least. You cannot help others unless you can help yourself, and in order to do that you must know yourself.” The psycho-social aspects of nursing are heavily stressed in the Vocational Nursing program. It is impor¬ tant to Burton that students learn their own limitations so that they know when to ask for help and where to go for it. “We can teach a monkey to start an IV,” she said, “but he won’t know why he’s doing it or what good it does. Also, we teach our nurses to think of patients as human beings. It’s not the ‘gall bladder down in room 10’, it’s Mr. Smith. We try to use a whole person atti¬ tude.” Burton said that the students practice procedures on each other “so they can experience what it feels like to be pulled, poked, and prodded.” The students begin with classroom theory courses and progress to the hospital floor, learning to give bed baths, take vitals and administer general care. The next step is clinical training. Students learn the more sophisticated areas of nursing such as the pro¬ cesses of disease and administering injections as well as teaching at-home patients how to give their own injec¬ tions and monitor their own diets. “In this way our nurses learn to fulfill their responsi¬ bilities as care givers and health providers,” Burton said. “We also teach the value of community service by encouraging our graduates to help educate the public about health concerns.” — Karen Cook VOCATIONAL NURSING STUDENT, Jeanette Stroman, not only learns about the aspects of nursing but she also learns how to read the electronic graphs.

Students, like Robert Espinoza, a senior from Marfa, served as ticket writer, citing students with minor traffic violations. “It gives me an opportunity to practice what I’ve learned and that helps me as we ll as any book can,” stated Robert. Other students helped with the processing of tickets, gun control and the issuing of keys to staff and faculty members. During registration the stu¬ dents helped with ' the making and validating of school identification cards, the issuing of parking permits and vehicle registration. Those qualified, such as sophomore Norma Al¬ varado from Redford, worked as dispatchers for UPD, getting a first hand look at the happenings in a university police station, which closely resemble the hectic events of a real police station. “I get a great work experience as far as the situations that arise and the rotating schedules of a dispatcher.

Dr. Scudday, a Sul Ross biology professor and leading toxicologist in Texas, taught mammology to thirteen students this past fall semester. One of Scudday’s major requirements for mam- some animal carcass in lab. This involves removing the animal’s insides, stuffing the animal with cotton to retain its original form, and sewing the skin to¬ gether to complete the process. “A beginning stu¬ dent”, Scudday said, “can prepare a specimen in about thirty minutes.” After preparation is completed the specimens are labeled, catalogued and put on display. The University not only keeps these specimens for its own use but trades them for other exihibts from different universities. In this manner the number of people who benefit from the exhibit is greatly in¬ creased. — Blain Voorhecs V iJCm k GO-PHER-IT — Biology graduate student Sammy Marshall helps fellow student June Ince prepare a museum skin of this gopher for mammalogy class.

A STAR IS BORN — Gib Gibson sings his solo at the fall pops concert. He also did his junior recital this year as a requirement for his degree in music. Stylish Performances The Concert Choir, directed by Dr. Rex Wilson, performs two concerts per semes¬ ter. In the fall a pops concert and a Christ¬ mas concert are given; and in the spring a classical concert and pops concert are performed. The choir sings a variety of music at each of these concerts, including contem¬ porary classics, Spanish, novelty, and pops, among others. Besides the regular concerts, the choir periodically makes appearances at the Sunshine House, the nursing home, Moun¬ tainside Cafeteria, and various local civic organizations. Everyone that takes a choir class finds it enjoyable and worthwhile. It’s one of those classes that a student hates to miss. During the concerts, there are several soloists who take center stage. Dr. Wilson likes to give anyone and everyone a chance to be the star for a moment or two. In order to sing a solo at the concert a student must go through auditions with Dr. Wilson. He helps the person choose a song which is best suited to his her voice and selects the soloists who will sing at the concert. Wilson encourages the choir stu¬ dents to sing on stage, whether it be a solo, a duet or a quartet. This year Dr. Wilson added a little spice to the music with his electronic keyboard, drums, and synthesizer. Everyone enjoys listening to such an enthusiastic group. Participating in the choir gives one an opportunity to experience all types of mu¬ sic and learn to appreciate it. — Brenda Gentry 1 - 2 - 3-4 — Rex Wilson gets the most out of the choir students with his enthusiastic and bubbling personal¬ ity. 168 Freshmen Olivas, Maria, Rosa, Alpine Ollison, Byron, Houston Page, Richard, Del Rio Panned, Jeff, Lubbock Parker, Susan, Dallas Pattillo, Bonnie, Alpine Portillo III, Tom, El Paso Quade, Debbie, Rochester Quent, Dawn, New Braunfels Radford, Kim, Iraan Ramirez, Adriana M., Alpine Ramirez, Joel, Big Lake Ramirez, Linette, Andrews Rice, Bobby D., Dumas Rice, Hope, Odessa Rios, Vanessa, Alpine Roberts, Steve, Maple Rodriguez, Janie, Ralls Rodriguez, Lora, Ft.

Cultural educational programs might include work¬ shops on dancing techniques and poetry reading or how-to craft sessions. Recreational and social activities were suggested. Each program offered was evaluated at the end of each semester. Each RA was re¬ quired to earn 2 points per semester to be rehired the following semester. Points were earned for the various programs offered. The RAs, Pohl said, had a variety of re¬ sources to help them with programming. Both the Residence Hall Association and the Program Council were available for help. Funding for the programs came from the Program Council which authorized $1 per resident per RA per year, and from the Resi¬ dence Hall Association which had a total op¬ erating budget of $400 per year. Pohl said that programming in the dorms was an objective set three years ago and this fall was the first attempt to implement the program. — Karen Cook Freshmen 171 John S.

Warner Houston Bill Wright Houston 172 Board of Regents Executive Director “The 1984-85 academic year provides an opportu¬ nity for us to establish new goals and to strive for new levels of achievement,” Sul Ross President Dr. Jack W. Humphries says. Dr. Humphries assumed the leadership of Sul Ross in September 1984, replacing Bob Richardson who served as president the past eight years. Richardson resigned to accept the position of vice president of finance and administration at the Baylor School of Medicine in Houston. Humphries comes to Sul Ross from Huntsville, where he was vice president of academic affairs at Sam Houston State University. Humphries is excited about his new location. The outstanding features of Sul Ross, he said, are the small size of the university and the ideal setting. “A person can do a first class job. The school is eager to move forward, the students want to learn, and the faculty wants to help them.” All students, Humphries said, are reaching for something, even if they are not certain what it is. “There is a quest for stardom in every student.” Humphries hopes to provide many challenges and opportunities at Sul Ross. The university has the capa¬ bility to be an outstanding school in all fields, not only geology, education and range animal science. He hopes to see Sul Ross recognized not only in West Texas but as a prominent school in the Southwest. His first year, he said, will be devoted to listening, reading and assessing what we can do best at Sul Ross and how we can excel in it. “The stars,” Humphries said, “are where we see them and as long as they remain objectives to be reached, then our work will be exciting and Sul Ross will be a better place as a result.” — Rosie Garibay President 173 ★ Administrative Organization Sul Ross State University is administratively organized into five areas. These include Institutional Development, Bob Hardin, director; Business Affairs, Micky C. Havens, vice president; Academic Affairs, Dr. Earl Elam, vice president; Student Life, Bob Posey, dean; and Physical Plant Operation, Hamp Norton, director. The entire operation of the university is under the direction of these five, each of whom reports directly to President Jack W. Humphries, who reports to the Board of Regents, Texas State University System. This type of central administration is effective at a small university like Sul Ross State. — Brand Staff Bob Hardin DIRECTOR INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT Ex-Student Association Placement Student Recruiting Dr. Jack W.

Editor Rosie Garibay Staff Volume 63 of the Sul Ross State University BRAND yearbook was designed by the staff in cooperation with the University Print Shop and the News Information Service.

All layout styles were designed by the staff using six and eight column designs on a double page spread. The staff submitted several camera ready layouts, allowing the staff to use various typographic and graphic features. The title page photography was done by Sul Ross student David Sams, using a red Plexiglas star made under the direction of IA instructor Alan Pitkin. Most headlines were set in Souvenir Medi¬ um. However, several other styles were set on a Compugraphic 7200 I headliner. Body type was set in 10 12 Souvenir Light; captions were set in 8 point with a medium lead-in.

Grady Blount II Dave Swanson WMMi 198 Closing Fulfilling the Dream To set goals and to be able to accomplish them is the dream of everyone. But to realize these ac¬ complishments and to put them to use is victory in itself. So was the case at Sul Ross this past year. Microcomputers were installed in the English department, modernizing the complete system and allowing professors and students to take ad¬ vantage of modern technology. New machinery was also installed in the Industrial Arts Depart¬ ment giving more people the opportunity to mas¬ ter new skills. Late March brought about the inauguration of our new president, Dr. Jack Humphries. On the 29th Dr. Humphries officially took office sealing a bond throughout the university which completed the Sul Ross family. Endowment funds reached a new level of almost one million dollars giving the university a perma¬ nent provision for support. Girls athletics hit a new high as the volleyball team captured the conference title in mid-fall. The spring semester found the basketball girls bring¬ ing home the first basketball championship ever in Sul Ross history. The winning tradition once again found a home. We all rise up to meet our goals face to face, to attain what they hold, and to discover the next step up in the stairway to stardom. —Blain Voorhees Closing 199
