Sul Ross So Right 1986 BRAND Sul Ross State University Published in cooperation with the Brand Staff, the University Print Shop and the News and Information Service. 1 Sul Ross So Right When one enrolls at Sul Ross State Univeristy, he or she becomes more than just a student, but part of a unique university. Sul Ross’ uniqueness is the result of many different factors. Its location, size, pride, and commitment to quality make it stand apart from the rest. Located in the small Wesf Texas town of Alpine, Sul Ross serves a large geographic area. But West Texans are not the only students enrolled at the university, as it draws students from all over the nation and foreign countries. Sul Ross may not be large in quantity, but the diversification among students makes it large in quality. Alpine is at the gateway to the Big Bend Country, which encompasses vast expanses of the Chihuahuan Desert, picturesque hills and mountains, rolling plains and lush grasslands, and a wide assortment of plants, wildlife, and geological features. The Good Life Sul Ross has a comfortable, laid back atmosphere as Dan Reesick and Mike Blanchard demonstrate. 2 Yea Lobos These Lobo supporters seem to be enjoying themselves as they watch their team in action. Hi, Mom Marty Lara and Shelley Weatherington take a break from all the action at the rodeo. 3 Jesse Bolner. 4 Sul Ross So Right Sul Ross is set in an environment that is free of pollution, warm in winter and cool in summer, and ideal for combining university studies with a variety of recreational activities. The campus of Sul Ross consists of approximately six hundred acres and a large number of buildings, including nine academic classroom buildings, the Bryan Wildenthal Memorial Library, the Museum of the Big Bend, a maintenance complex, student center, eight dormitories, and over one hundred apartments. The university is a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, participating in non-scholarship competitive sports events in basketball, volleyball, golf, tennis, and track. Both the men’s and women’s rodeo teams at Sul Ross are consistently national competitors. 5 Riding With Pride The Bar-SR Bar, the registered brand of Sul Ross, can be found in various places. 6 Sul Ross So Right The students at Sul Ross may all have different personalities and backgrounds, but they all share one thing in common-pride. Pride for the university can be felt all over the campus. It is in the classrooms, in the dorms, and at athletic events. A constant reminder of the pride at Sul Ross is its registered brand, the Bar-SR Bar, which can be found practically everywhere. A huge SR made of rocks overlooks the campus, which is positioned on the side of a mountain. The brand can be found in the classroom, the gymnasium, the football stadium, the library, and the student center. The Sul Ross Bookstore specializes in clothing containing the brand, so as students go home the Bar-SR-Bar can be spotted all over the state, nation, and even the world. As a result, Sul Ross’ pride is obvious everywhere. All of these factors, plus many more, combine to make Sul Ross what it is--a unique university which the students can be proud of. So when one graduates from SRSU, he or she can proudly look back and say, “Sul Ross was So Right!” Dicky Bain jt V v f Spirits High at Sul Ross Sul Ross’ athletes are an important part of the university. They help promote pride, unity, and the everlast¬ ing Lobo spirit. Equally important, however, are the fans. When there is a football game, Lobo supporters file into Jackson Field ready to cheer on their team. Tennis tourna¬ ments attract fans to the courts as well. Rodeo is only one more of the many events that is never short of fans. These fans seldom remain quiet. The stands are constantly in an uproar of chants and yells declaring the Lobos are 1! Support and pride seem to be a way of life at Sul Ross. From freshmen to seniors, and from graduate students to faculty members, a sense of pride is felt by all. These things may be added to the list of why Sul Ross is So Right! Pam Wilton 8 Watching The Lobos These four Sul Ross stu dents enjoy the football game during a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We’re Number One The Lobo cheeerleaders signify to the crowd that Sul Ross is number one. Crowd Pleasers The Lobo Marching Band entertains the crowd while the football team is on its way to victory. Lobo Teams The Sul Ross volleyball team and football team were among those introduced at Meet the Lobos.” 9 A New High at Sul Ross “Nobody” and “Like Nothing Ever Hap¬ pened.” A select number of students, however, had done more than just watch the concert; they had worked backstage and actually visited with Sylvia. Tripp Davenport was one such student. “She was just as beautiful in person as she was on stage,” Tripp said. Sylvia told the people who spoke to her that she really liked the people here and was im¬ pressed with their friendliness. Sul Ross students were impressed by Sylvia as well. Her concert turned out to be the most successful program council event ever. This concert along with the many other program council events help make Sul Ross So Right!. Pam Wilton Peck On The Cheek Andy Reedy and Danny Saenz steal kisses from Sylvia after her two shows at Sul Ross. This fall the program council hit upon an idea that turned out to be a great success. When Sylvia, a popular country and western singer, held two concerts in the Main Auditorium, approximately 1, 100 people attended. When these people walked out of the auditorium, they had heard such hits as Riding High atSulRoss Sul Ross is known for many things, but one aspect of the university draws national attention. The rodeo teams, both men and women, are always contenders for the national title. This past year, the Sul Ross women’s rodeo team brought home the College National Finals Rodeo title from Bozeman, MT. The men’s team has brought home the CNFR title twice in the last four years and came close the other two years. Sul Ross is the birthplace of the Na¬ tional Intercollegiate Rodeo Association and houses the NIRA Hall of Fame. The university also annually sponsors NIRA rodeos in Alpine and Ft. Stockton. The rodeo teams have helped keep the pride at Sul Ross alive and well. As long as the teams keep performing as they have, they will contribute in making Sul Ross So Right! Dicky Bain Round ’Em Up - Beto Hinojosa, a helper at the Preparation - Clinton Brown lowers himself on to rodeo arena, attempts to get a calf back in the the horse as he prepares to ride saddle bronc. pen. 12 p Jr r ' W Teamwork Bobbie Acton and Marty Acton show their skills at team roping at the rodeo arena. The Bull Won - An unidentified cowboy pays the price of riding a bull as he gets bucked off. 13 14 Flying High Over Sul Ross This fall, several Alpine residents started a balloon festival that will be repeated in the spring and summer. The sight of balloons hovering over the town early in the morning brought out Sul Ross students as well as Alpine residents. People clothed in everything from pajamas to Sunday School clothes rushed out to see these bright spots looming over the housetops and over the university. Even from these great heights, people could see that Sul Ross is So Right! 15 Sul Ross 16 1985-1986 A Time Capsule According to Webster’s dictionary, a time capsule is a container holding historical records or objects representa¬ tive of current culture that is deposited for preservation until discovery by some future age. This time capsule, the 1986 Brand, is a little different. It is one that can be opened at one’s pleasure again and again. It is special because it all has to do with us - what we did, what we liked or maybe disliked, and in general, what was happening in the world around us. 1985 was a year that the world thought not only of themselves but of the welfare of others. Sixteen hours of nonstop rock at Live Aid helped raise $70.5 million to help save lives in Afri¬ ca. In U. S. A. (United Support of Artists) for Africa, artists donated their talents for the record “We Are the World.” Profits went for the famine re¬ lief in Africa. Americans showed their concern for their own people in 1985 as well. Some 50 country and rock performers put on a 15-hour show to benefit American farmers. Farm Aid raked in $10 million in addition to legislative support. Age old questions were answered in ’85. After 40 years, the search for one of the most wanted war criminals ended. From the bones exhumed from a cemetary near Sao Paulo, Brazil, scientists concluded that the bones were actually that of Josef Mengele. Mengele, a Nazi doctor responsible for sending 400,000 people to their deaths at Auschwitz, had been in hiding in Brazil until his death in 1979. The ocean-liner once dubbed “unsinkable” was found 12,000 feet be¬ low the surface of the North Atlantic. The Titanic sank 73 years ago and her position remained a mystery until re¬ cently. The sinking in 1912, reminded the world that we are all human and are not immune to outside elements. In 1986, we learned that lesson again. January 28, 1986, the space shuttle “Challenger” exploded in mid-air killing all seven astronauts aboard. Among the seven was Krista McAuliffe, who was to be the first teacher and civillian in space. The tragedy united the nation and brought us all a little closer. 1985 marked the anniversry of two wars for the United States. Ten years had passed since Vietnam and 40 years have gone by since World War II. The year was marked with commemorations and ceremonies. In the world of fads and fashions, rock stars had an incredible influence on fashion. Madonna gave us the lace look from her hit “Like A Virgin.” She helped make costume jewelry popular - especially rhinestones and crucifixes. After years of rocking and rolling, Bruce Springsteen was raised to a much de¬ served status of legendary proportion. The Boss represents the blue collar working class and what else do you think of when you hear the word blue but jeans? Bruce Springsteen might as well have his name on the pocket of Levi 501 jeans (around $30) since he is basically the one who popularized them. Some other popular items were Jams (Hawaiian print long shorts costing about $20 to $40), high top Reebok shoes ($49), and brightly colored plastic Swatch watches ($35). In with the miscellaneous is New Coke which was a flop (to say the least) and Coca-Cola Incorporated was forced to bring back the Coke we’ve all grown to know and love under the new name of Classic Coke. Halley’s Comet, a once in a lifetime experience, was viewed by millions. On a note closer to home 1986 was the beginning of Texas’ Sesquicentennial. It marks Texas’ 150th year of independence from Mexico. Many celebrations were planned to take place all over the state throughout the year. Joni Hawkins T JL u ime is ... Time was .. . Time’s past These are the times of our lives Caught in the Act The Theatre of the Big Bend opened its twentieth season this past July. Three plays were performed throughout the summer, and each was a smashing success. The first performance of “The Mur¬ der Room,” a zany spoof of crime thrill¬ ers by Jack Sharkey, marked the 600th performance by the Theatre since its be¬ ginning in 1965. Chris and Linda Little teamed up as Edgar and Mavis Hollister.. Leo Magni, Sr. directed this play, which was filled with hilarious situations and off-the-wall humor. Performances continued to thrill audi¬ ences with the second production of the summer. “Vanities,” an adult comedy, was directed by Marianne Bertram. Leading roles were played by Judy Nutt, Darlene Freeman, and Kendall Bradley. Meredith Willson’s popular musical, “The Music Man,” was directed by Jo¬ anna Cowell. Joel Humphries and Edith Taylor made their Sul Ross debuts when they took the roles of Proffesor Harold Hill and Marian Paroo. Vital to the musical and dance performances were Dr. Rex Wilson, Ellen Boyd, Diana Walker, and Maria Zurek. Pam Wilton GOSSIP TIME - Penny Hardaway, Martha Molinar, Bryn Ward, Janice Gooden, and Ruth Palmero gather to talk about the new librarian in River City. LAST MINUTE ADJUSTMENT Bryn Ward helps Holly Blankenship with her outfit prior to the closing night of “The Music Man.” 20 Summer REUNION - Kendall Bradley and Darlyne Freeman portray two friends from high school and college who are reunited in the production of “Vanities.” SHINN ' S BILLIARDS p ( 1 1 y l jgJS ' % P J3 1 hb1| , Ji 1 I raUm ft] ■ 1 MURDER ROOM - Randy Pye, Karen Lister, and Linda Little were the main characters in the mur¬ der spoof, “Murder Room,” written by Jack Sharkey. MUSIC MAKERS - Jim Richerson, Bill Brooks, Tony Acosta, Shauna Ford, Tara Richerson, and Beverly Johnson were members of the pit orches¬ tra. THE MUSIC MAN - Prof. Harold Hill, Joel Humphries, tells the town folk of River City that they have trouble because of the new pool table. Theatre 21 Starting it off Right The dorm room looks quite spacious when students first walk in and visualize how it will look after it has been filled with personal belongings. After the last load is finally carried up or down the stairs and stacked in the middle of the floor, however, the look is somewhat cluttered and messy. Dorm rooms seem destined to maintain this appearance as they continue to look slightly messy even after everything is unpacked. Dorm dwellers at Sul Ross found this to be true after the dorms opened on Sunday, August 25. Directors, with the help of RAs, checked each student in as others waited their turns, meeting new people and greeting old friends. Residents who previously lived in the dorms noticed a few changes this year. Lawrence Hall, for example, is no longer used. Mountainside on the other hand is housing more student. Also, women are living in the south side and men in the north, opposite of past years. Minor changes occur, but dorm life remains the same. The chaos of moving in is only the beginning. Pam Wilton SMILE - Angie Widdowfield pauses for a quick snap shot as she carries another load of belongings into her room at Mountainside. IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK School can be fun as Tripp Davenport demonstrates with Tia Lewis and Deon Lewis at Mountainside Dormitory. LOADED DOWN - Every available inch of space in this car was used to transport someone’s belongings to Sul Ross. Unloading will be the fun part. CHECKING IN - Cindy Cowan, an RA at Moun¬ tainside, tells Lilia Alvarado which room she has been assigned. ANOTHER LOAD - Alexia Simmons seems to be enjoying herself as she lugs another load up the stairs while moving in. WAITING FOR A ROOM Cindy Acosta and Tiffany Beaver wait in line to be checked into Mountainside Dormitory. 22 Moving In Moving In 23 HARD AT WORK - Mary Lisa Bynum, fee fixer, had a thankless job- she figured out how much the students owed the unive rsity. SIGNING UP - Dr. Roy Dodson assists Gina Mur¬ ray by signing her up for an art course for the fall semester. WAITING IN LINE - The line for registration be¬ gan outside in the heat. These students were lucky enough to finally make it indoors. 24 Registration No, Bruce Springsteen did not perform at Sul Ross this year. Then what was the huge line for at the Graves-Pierce Building? Fall registration- -what else? Students filed into Graves-Pierce full of anticipation for the start of the semes¬ ter. The line moved from station to station, each person obtaining necessary information. By the end of registration, students were drained in more ways than one. We had been in line for what seemed like hours. We were drained both men¬ tally and physically from the wait, and now they wanted to drain our pocket books as well (which they did). When it was all over, a sigh of relief could be let out, and the semester could get underway. Sul Ross enrollment for the fall semes¬ ter was down six percent to 1,650. This decline held true throughout the state as Texas colleges and universities suffered a decrease in enrollment. This is prob¬ ably the result of tuition tripling since the previous semester Dicky Bain WHAT ARE YOU TAKING? Shae Morris and Donnie McNatt compare schedules during the fall registration at Graves-Pierce. THE BRAND STAND - Rolando Cedillo asks Vir¬ ginia Salgado and Emma Romero if they would like to order a yearbook. Registration 25 1mm - m i r j ttOff The fall semester got off to a great start with the second annual Sul Ross Sundae, held on the Mountainside lawn. The Program Council, University Food Service and RA Programming Personnel sponsored the event which gave stu¬ dents a chance to meet one another. About 150 students showed up to participate in horseshoes and the ongoing football and volleyball games. Some brought frisbees to throw while others just talked to friends. Later in the day, the RAs and Program Council members served vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream to the students who added hot fudge and other toppings. That night, everyone was invited to the Mall for the Mel Brooks’ film, ’’Young Frankenstein.” Students brought quilts, blankets, and lawn chairs to lounge around on while viewing the movie. Dicky Bain GOOD STUFF - Billy Crawford and Mike Whiteley have a friendly conversation while enjoy¬ ing the free ice cream served at Sul Ross Sundae. SET IT UP - Many of the students participated in the ongoing volleyball game, one of the more popular activities of the day. 26 Sul Ross Sundae TO TOP IT OFF - Michael Hart, Marching Lobo Band Director, adds some fudge topping to his ice cream as Mary Cabral looks on. FEED ME - Little Ross O’Dell seems to want his mom, Kay, and Janis Wehmeyer to get more serious about feeding him ice cream. BREAK TIME - Eating ice cream is always a good to cool off as John Dameon finds out while taking a break in between games. HANGING OUT - Marcy Galindo, Alma Ureta, Hudgins, Rose Washington, and Emily take a break from all the action. P— i NEXT IN LINE - Mike Rokovich spoons one more ice cream while Kelly F lint tries to Sul Ross Sundae 27 Meet the Bite “Meet the Lobos” is an annual pep rally which recognizes both Sul Ross and Alpine High students and coaches in¬ volved in fall sports. Lee Sleeper, director of News In¬ formation, introduced to the public the Sul Ross football and volleyball teams, as well as the coaches and trainers. Also recognized was the Marching Lobo Band, under the direction of Michael Hart, and the SRSU cheerleaders. This year’s “Meet the Lobos” was special in that a brand new football coaching staff was introduced. Some of the faces are old, but the roles are new. New head Coach Ralph Micheli was an assistant coach at Sul Ross from 1976- 78. Bob Moran, new offensive coordinator, played for the Lobos in 1982. Offensive line coach for the Lobos will be Pete Peltzer. Following the introductions, Jim Thomas of the Sonic Drive-In supplied watermelons for a watermelon feast. Dicky Bain MAN’S BEST FRIEND - Rolando Cedillo snaps some shots of the crowd and cheerleaders with the help of his “vicious” guard dog. NUMBER 1 - Eva Arana, Gloria Berryhill, Sara Dominguez, Rose Mary Sandate, Mary Cabral, Felicia Garcia, and Becky Vitela join in the school song. 28 Meet the Lobos MMM GOOD - John Wenke, Robert Stanley, Wayland Jenkins, and David Staples make sure that none of the watermelons go to waste. PLAY IT - The Marching Lobo Band, under the direction of Michael Hart, fired up the crowd with the school song. SOMEDAY ... - This youngster is probably dreaming of the day his name will be called out at the “Meet the Lobos” pep rally. Meet the Lobos 29 GIVE ME YOUR BLOOD Dracula, Greg Mullen, eyes the neck of Eva Arana, one of his many victims. This gimmick was used to promote participation. DON’T WATCH - Kevin Jones seems to be won¬ dering how he got himself into this situation. All he wanted was a free cookie and some punch. SECOND THOUGHTS - Kim McNamara talks to one of the workers from United Blood Services of El Paso as he checks her blood pressure. 30 Blood Drive Bleeding Hearts (And Aims) A new record for donations was set at the fall blood drive, which was spon¬ sored by the United Blood Services of El Paso, the Program Council, and the Stu¬ dent Association. A line formed outside of Student Center 108 as students and faculty members waited to donate. The final count was 134 units, an increase of 5.5 percent over the spring ’84 drive. The most donations were given by Resi¬ dent Assistant Programming with 29 units, Dr. Wayne Sheehan’s history classes with 27, and Clip ’N Brand with LAID BACK -Oscar Marroquin was one of many who donated blood at the blood drive. The final count was 134 units, a 5.5% increase over last spring. I DID IT - Sharron Holcomb raises and applies pressure to her arm. This could be a triumphant gesture as well as a way to stop the bleeding. NOT SO BAD - Katie Higgins and Theresa Cot¬ ton were two of the many students who gave their blood and time to a good cause. HI, MOM - Gabriel Garcia can probably think of many better ways of getting his picture in the yearbook than having a needle stuck in his arm. 19. Dr. Sheehan’s classes had added in¬ centive to give, as he gave his students twenty extra points for donating. In mid- July, a blood drive for his 17-year-old daughter, Kathryn, found people donating who had never done so before. In all, 206 units were given. This drive helped many to realize the importance of giving. As a result of increasing participation, future blood drives may be conducted upstairs in the Student Center where there is more room. Pam Wilton Blood Drive 31 Pride in Motion Due to the lack of attendance at the pep rallies held at Graves-Pierce Gym, the Sul Ross cheerleaders decided to try something new for the Austin College game--a mobile pep rally. All students were encouraged to wear loud colors and decorate their cars and trucks. Ev¬ eryone met at Jackson Field where the cheerleaders used shoe polish and streamers to liven up the vehicles that weren’t decorated. The mobile pep rally proceeded from Jackson Field to the campus where the football players were dropped off to eat. But this didn’t end the parade. With horns still blaring, the remaining cars took the pep rally through town to the Chute parking lot. The city police and campus security escorted the cars for the event. The mobile pep rally succeeded in accomplishing its main goal-building spirit. Dawn Luck, a junior at SRSU, said, “1 have never seen this much spirit at Sul Ross before.” Cheerleader, Mary Cabral said that everyone seemed to enjoy the pep rally. Because of its success, the cheerleaders plan to have more mobile pep rallies in the future. Dicky Bain 32 Mobile Pep Rally SEND CLOTHES, MOM Dawn Luck and Tripp LOADED DOWN Cindy Acosta, Alma Ureta, Davenport showed off the latest fashion trend that Tiffany Beaver, Dawn Luck, Deon Lewis, Bari has come to Sul Ross. Gentry, Mark Adams, and Tripp Davenport NUMBER ONE - Paula Brown, Diane Smith, and Ninfa Vela got into the spirit of the pep rally by signifying that the Lobos are 1. FIRED UP - Kenneth Allen (Special “K”) and Da¬ vid Powell (Pac Man) show some Lobo spirit while Ronnie Dubose drives. LOBO SPIRIT Yelling chants and raising spirit, the Lobo cheerleaders led the mobile pep rally through town. FEELING GOOD Tracy Smith, Lyn Pecht, and Connie Kirch clown around prior to the start of the mobile pep rally. Mobile Pep Rally 33 34 Fashion Statement As s eep fashion na t on.

The Right Choice 37 A Moment to Spare Free time. These are two of the most treasured words of a college student. To many, free time is as hard to come by as an ’A’ in History. There are papers to write, problems to solve, books to read and tests to study for. But what do Sul Ross students do when they finally get a breather? Probably the biggest attraction to a student with spare time is a bed or any place else where one can catch a few winks. Most students live on about five hours of sleep a night, so a nap is more than welcome. Cafeteria food can get old pretty fast, so many prefer to eat out or barbecue any chance they get. At any time during the day, students can be found in the Student Center. Between classes, students sit around and talk while others play pool, ping pong or video games. The local bars also act as hangouts for some who have an evening to spare. Finally, there is the dreaded laundry. About once a week the pile of dirty clothes that has accumulated must be washed. This is not the way a student wants to spend his or her free time, but it has to be done. Even though free time is hard to come by, students always find some way to spend it. Dicky Bain EIGHT BALL - Chaz Eubank, Joe Moulder, and Paul Hudspeth enjoy a friendly game of pool while relaxing at the Railroad Blues. MUNCHIES - Irma Muniz, Norma Alvarado, and a hungry cat found a nice grassy area where they could enjoy a picnic lunch. 38 Freetime DIG IN - The Newman Club had a “Welcome Back” party for Sul Ross students at the Brown Ranch. Food and games were available. WHAT’S ON THE TUBE? - Danny Reseck, Kevin Burnett, and Max Saad lounge around in the Mountainside lobby while watching TV. Freetime 39 BEWITCHED - Iselda Acosta pauses for a mo¬ ment to have her picture taken at the Spanish Club Halloween party. HALLOWEEN FEAST - Louisa Benevidez digs into the munchies at the Newman Club Halloween party while Sandra McCutchen wait s in line. 40 Halloween GOT IT - Abby Dominguez makes a saving catch and Adri Ramirez awaits her balloon in the water balloon contest at the Newman Club. Dressed fa Kill After years of school, students finally enter college and are officially “grown up.” Right? Well, at least until Hallow¬ een rolls around. Once a year, students fall back to their childhoods as they be¬ come anything from witches and ghosts to cowboys and pirates. On Halloween night, some organiza¬ tions and local night clubs held costume parties. Some of the braver (or crazier) students even went trick-or-treating fol¬ lowing the parties. College students will do anything for free food. While on the subject of food, the Mountainside Cafeteria also treated the dorm residents to a Halloween meal and other surprises. Masks were available for students to wear and cafeteria workers were in costume to enhance the Halloween atmosphere. Candied apples and popcorn balls were also given out to those witha sweet tooth. Also available was a barrel where students could bob for apples if they didn’t mind a wet face. But then again, anything for free food, huh? Dicky Bain CHOW TIME - Seta Whitford-Stark marks a meal ticket for Sandra Martinez while Rudy Terrazas awaits his turn. A special Halloween meal was served. HAPPY HALLOWEEN - Rory Cedillo shows off her costume while she checks out the Halloween display at the Mountainside Cafeteria. FRIGHT NIGHT -Adri Ramirez and Sally Morales try to figure out “what” they are talking to at the Newman Club Halloween party. Halloween 41 5 JUST THE BEGINNING - Peter Camfield, Gil Komechak, and Jeff Krchmar assisted in putting up the center post for the bonfire. AS USUAL - The Clip ’N Brand once again won the wood collecting contest. This is the sixth con¬ secutive year they have won. FINAL TOUCHES - Rene Villareal sprays some paint on the Clip ’N Brand float. The club won first place in the Homecoming float contest. CLIP ’N BRAND The Clip ’N Brand motivated its members to rebuild the bonfire. The new bonfire was the largest in SRSU history. 42 Homecoming Bonfire Pep Rally Homecoming would not be homecom¬ ing without the annual bonfire, but Sul Ross was almost without the traditional fire this year. The bonfire was scheduled for Friday night, but about 125 loads of wood went up in smoke Wednesday about 2 a.m. The Clip ’N Brand Club, which had brought in the wood, motivat¬ ed its members to go back out and build the biggest bonfire in Sul Ross history. For the sixth consecutive year, the Clip ’N Brand won the wood collecting contest and was also awarded $100 from the Athletic Department for rebuilding the bonfire. On Friday night, as originally sched¬ uled, flames lit up the sky and the pep rally began. The Lobo cheerleaders led the crowd in cheers while the band played the victory song and the Sul Ross Alma Mater. Several of the players and coaches took the platform and fired up the Lobo supporters with pep talks. Obviously, the Lobo football team was also fired up as they took the field Saturday and demolished the Tarleton Texans 48-7 to capture the homecoming victory. Dicky Bain FIRED UP - This Lobo head joined the fans and team as everyone was fired up for the Homecom¬ ing festivities. SPIRIT BUILDERS - As the bonfire burned in the background, the Sul Ross cheerleaders fired up the Lobo supporters. UP IN SMOKE - Clip ’N Brand member Hope Rice was one of several who had the honor of setting the bonfire aflame. Bonfire 43 ENJOYING THE PARADE The Homecoming parade appeals to people of all ages, but the youngsters seem to enjoy it most of all. POLICE ESCORT - The Homecoming parade stretched down Holland Avenue. As usual, a large crowd showed up to view the annual event. FLAG BEARERS Vicki Bates and Amy Gerdes performed for the crowd as did the rest of the SRSU Marching Lobo Band. 44 Homecoming 4 ” edlXMJb ■ , . f J r 4 ■ i % Parade A typical hot and sunny West Texas day once again played host for the Homecoming parade. The 1985 Home¬ coming theme was ”Sul Ross - The Past, the Present, the Future.’ The Marching Lobo Band led the pa¬ rade along with the Alpine High School and Junior High School bands. There were 45 entries in the parade, including nine floats, which proceeded down Holland Avenue to Jackson Field at noon Saturday. Also in the procession were the Homecoming Queen candi¬ dates. The first place float award went to the Clip ’N Brand, which also won the bonfire contest and sponsored the Homecoming Queen. Second place went to Brownie Troop 103 and third place was awarded to the Art Club. Brewster County Judge Tom Connor acted as grand marshall for the parade. Dignitaries were President and Mrs. Jack Humphries, Mayor and Mrs. Delbert Dyke, and Mr. and Mrs. Steve Becker. Becker is president of the Sul Ross Ex-Student Association. A new addition to this year’s Home¬ coming parade was the traveling trophy which was awarded to the Clip ’N Brand for their first place float. Each year the trophy will be given to the club with the winning float. Dicky Bain RIDE ’EM COWBOY - Tripp Davenport had cen¬ ter stage among the Clip ’N Brand first-place Homecoming parade float. Parade 45 Cheryl Pcdmer Crowned Queen Homecoming Halftime Ceremonies The highlight of Homecoming is al¬ ways the crowning of a new queen dur¬ ing halftime. The Lobos were leading 14-7 and spirits were high as the March¬ ing Lobo Band performed. Then, as the band played “Love the World Away,” the candidates were escorted onto the field. Crowned as queen this year was Cheryl Palmer, a freshman from Grand Junction, Colorado. Cheryl was spon¬ sored by the Clip ’N Brand Club and was escorted by Rene Villarreal, sponsor of the club. The crown she wore was do¬ nated by Sheppard Jewelers and will be passed on to the new queen each year. Cheryl was crowned by last year’s queen, Shana Granger. She was then congratulated by President and Mrs. Jack Humphries. Among the gifts she received were a $100 scholarship from the Student Association, a $50 gift certi¬ ficate from Sheppard Jewelers, and a Citizens Watch from Watson Jewelers. In addition, Cheryl was awarded several gift certificates from local businesses. First runner-up was Chris Hernandez, who was escorted by her father. The Homecoming Court consisted of Lilia Granado, Becky Vitela and Eva Arana.

Halftime Ceremonies 47 A PERFECT 2 - Miss Argentina, Billy Perez, was first runner up in the Miss Courageous Pageant for the second year in a row. NICE BELLYBUTTON - Madonna has nothing on Miss Italy, Johnny Losoya, who performed to “Ma¬ terial Girl” for the talent competition. A GRIPPING MOMENT It was a thrilling mo¬ ment as Jesse Montoya, Billy Perez, and Jerry Castellano awaited the name of the second runner up. NOT TOO CLOSE - Dr. Adalberto Garcia stands as far away as possible while interviewing Miss Brazil, Jesse Montoya, who was second runner up. BEAUTIES - (L to R), Brett Parker, Marcelo Hernandez, Jesse Montoya, Johnny Losoya, Billy Perez, Alex Inman, Jeff Panned, Grant Von Brumback. 48 Miss Courageous WHAT A JOB Dr. Alan Stafford and Dr. Bob Bass had the enjoyable (?) task of evaluating the contestants’ poise and beauty. The talk going on in the dressing room before the Miss Courageous Pageant was somewhat different from the conver¬ sation most contestants have on the big night. Instead of discussing what shades of make-up and which pair of shoes to wear, the “ladies” debated on where to put the make-up and how to walk in the high heels. The contestants first stunned the audi¬ ence with their sportswear. As each one walked across the stage, the emcee told about his (or is it her?) interests, hobbies, and fantasies. The emcee of the pageant was Dr. Adalberto Garcia. The contestants continued to thrill the crowd when the talent competition took place. Amazingly, several of the “la¬ dies” sang either without moving their lips or moving them after the words had sounded. They did a fantastic job and sounded exactly like a recording of the artists who originally sang the songs. The evening gown competition was next and the selection of finalists fol¬ lowed. After answering questions, the winner, Jerry Castellano, was chosen from these finalists. Pam Wilton Miss Courageous 49 Comic Relief For the first time at Sul Ross, a cartooning class was offered in the Art Department. Dr. Roy Dodson was re¬ sponsible for getting the class together. “This has been a long-time personal interest,” Dodson said, “because I spent two years in the army as Artist Cartoonist.” Dodson also had the privi¬ lege of attending the University of Mis¬ souri with Mort Walker, creator of the Beetle Bailey comic strip. Throughout the course, students de¬ veloped characters of their own and took them through various college situations. They also tried their hand at caricatures. A major project of the artists was to research magazines dealing with specific subjects and then send original cartoons to the magazines in hope of selling them. The last project for the class consisted of making a cartoon book. Dodson hopes that some of the students will have their books marketed. Because of the interest showed in the class, the cartooning course will be offered again. “The class did honestly exceed my expectations ' Dodson said. Dodson discovered a lot of genuine talent and hopes that some of the young artists will continue with cartooning. He also said that it is hard to break into cartooning, but some of the students do professional work. “Remember,” Dodson commented , “you heard it here first.” Dicky Bain Answers to Caricature Quiz which ran in the Skyline: 1.

The Program Council sched¬ ules everything from ice cream to comedians to top name performers. Entertainment Tonight The fall semester was packed full of events which offered stu¬ dents a variety of activities to hoose from. Comedian Andy Andrews, who was a writer for the original Saturday Night Live; Dr. om and Seus, a husband and wife mime team; and Riders in the Sky, a country trio who have ap¬ peared on the Nashville Network, were among the many entertainers to appear at Sul Ross. The high¬ light of the fall semester was Syl¬ via, who gave two performances before a packed auditorium. Several events were also sched¬ uled for the spring semester. Comedian and hypnotist Tom DeLuca, the Shakespeare play “Comedy of Errors,” singer Barbara Bailey Hutchison, and musical group Regency offered students a break from the normal school routine. The Program Council also spon¬ sored Super Bowl Sunday in the Student Center. Free popcorn was available for the students as the new big screen TV made its debut. Dicky Bain Queen of Hearts As Valentine’s Day and the Brand Dance were separated by only one day, “Queen of Hearts” was an appropriate theme for the dance. The Brand Dance, which was spon¬ sored by the Student Association and Program Council, is an annual event where class favorites, campus favorites, and the Brand King and Queen are an¬ nounced. Prior to the dance, the University Food Service served a barbeque supper on the mall and students were also treated to refreshments at the dance. To go along with the “Queen of Hearts” theme, the bottom floor of the Graves-Pierce Building was decorated with red and white balloons, streamers, and hearts. Rio Gran, a local band, pro¬ vided everything from country to rock for musical entertainment. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the favorites and the Brand King and Queen by Marcel Clay. Ronnie Dubose and Eva Arana were named as the 1986 Brand King and Queen and led the other honorees in a dance to Lionell Ritchie’s “Say You, Say Me,” sung by Marcel Clay and accom¬ panied on the keyboards by Dr. Rex Wilson. Ronnie was presented with a Bar-SR- Bar branding iron and Eva received a crown in recognition of their awards. The class favorites and campus favorites received keychains and necklaces for their honors.

Stephanie Low a sopho . more from Llano, was crowned the 1985 Sul Ross State University Rodeo Queen. As rodeo is one of the main interests at Sul Ross, being crowned Rodeo Queen is a tremendous honor. In 1985, this honor was bestowed on Stephanie Low, a sophomore from Llano. Stephanie is currently secretary of the Collegiate FFA and is majoring in Agri¬ culture Education. She plans to teach ag after graduating from SRSU. To be elected Rodeo Queen, each contestant has to perform two reigning patterns, model a dress and make a three-minute speech. The candidate is also interviewed according to NIRA rules. As Sul Ross Rodeo Queen, Stephanie will be competing for the National Inter¬ collegiate Rodeo Queen title at the Col¬ lege National Finals Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana. “I hope to attend more com¬ petitions ’ she said, “but they will prob¬ ably conflict with the NIRA finals.” Stephanie will be representing more than just Sul Ross at Bozeman, she will be representing the defending CNFR champs, the Sul Ross Women’s Rodeo Team.

ECSTATIC - When the announcements were finally made and Cheryl was crowned Queen, she was overwhelmed by what had taken place. 60 Homecoming Queen c rownincf Icliieue mentd One does not have to be an upper classman to be recognized at Sul Ross. This was demonstrated when Cheryl Palmer, a freshman, was crowned 1985 Homecoming Queen. Cheryl represented the Clip ’N Brand Club, in itself an honor as the club boasted 79 members. ”1 was surprised and shocked when I found out I was cho¬ sen to represent the Clip ’N Brand,” Cheryl said. She was escorted by the club’s sponsor, Rene Villarreal. When the voting began, there were 20 nominees which were narrowed down to five finalists before the final vote. Cheryl is a psychology major and agri¬ culture minor whose home is in Grand Junction, Colorado. She is a member of the Rodeo Club and the Clip ’N Brand Club. She plans to attend Sul Ross for three more years and then go to gradu¬ ate school. According to Cheryl, being crowned 1985 Homecoming Queen is an honor that will stay with her not only this year but also in years to come.

Even if the stands are empty, a handful of individuals are at work on the field. These people, the trainers, managers, and ball girls, work before, during, and after the games and at all practices. Trainers this year were Truman Spoon, head trainer; Ninfa Vela; Dawn Estensen; and Paula Danheim. The trainers were responsible for all the bandaging of arms and legs necessary for all practices and games. They also cared for all in¬ juries and were the first on the field when a player was injured. The manager of the team, Willie Clay, was responsible for all equip¬ ment set ups before practice and games. The ball girls, Sandra Graves, Kellie McDaniel, Rachel Leyva, and Dorina Celaya, were responsi¬ ble for making sure the players had a football on the field at all times during the game.

The Student Association sponsors the event and everyone is encouraged to participate. This year, most students who helped with the painting did so because of a little encouragement from Dr. Wayne Sheehan and Dr. Jim Case. Dr. Sheehan’s history stu¬ dents received bonus points for participating and Dr. Case awarded two free absences to his political science students who helped. The workers tracked up the mountain where brooms, buckets, and the whitewash mixture . _ Joint Effort - Pulling weeds around the rocks was a little harder than Oscar Marroquin, Scott Allen, and Byron Ollison expected. A Rocky Start - The walk up Sul Ross Hill was almost as tiring as was painting the Bar SR Bar. Washin’ Up - Students had time to talk as they spread the whitewash mixture over the rocks. awaited them. About seventy peo¬ ple showed up for the event and more brooms had to be obtained as there were not enough to go around. Those who did not get one pulled weeds from between the rocks while the others spread the mixture over the rocks. When you get seventy college students and several buckets of paint, only one thing can be ex- pected--a paint fight. The whitewash mixture started flying and most of the painters ended up just as white as the rocks.

Dr. Wilson’s peppy personality makes every class enjoyable and relaxed. Most of the students in the choir, Dr. Wilson said, have had no previous training. Therefore, class¬ es include voice lessons, with train¬ ing in vocal techniques, as well as learning to perform the music for each concert. Each semester the Concert Choir, regardless of size, performs two concerts, one classic and the other pop. Dr. Wilson always gives each student a chance to do a solo at a concert, if he or she wants to. In fact, Dr. Wilson encourages solo performance because the “stu¬ dents learn and grow even if they just stand up in front of an audi¬ ence by themselves.” Dicky Bain Singing Single - Mary Clare Kerbow was one of several students who sang solo at the concert.

Thirty-five SRSU students faced the challenge in the fall and forty-four students in the spring. Louisa Benavidez, a math major from Marfa, did her student teach¬ ing at Alpine High School during the fall semester. The two teach¬ ers she worked with gradually worked Louisa into a full teaching schedule. During the day, Louisa taught four math classes and two business classes. “I liked it,” Louisa said. “1 learned a lot of things that would be impossible to learn in a college classroom.” She did find that being so close to the students’ age made things tougher. “1 knew what the kids were going through,” Louisa said. “It took time for me to be able to say ‘no’ to them.” Being from Marfa and student teaching in Alpine was awkward for Louisa because Marfa and Al¬ pine are bitter rivals. “I felt really strange during two bits at the pep rallies.” Dicky Bain Arts And Crafts - The kids really seemed to enjoy this art class, which was taught by Fabiola Chavez. Sticky Situation - You have to be willing to get your hands dirty, or sticky in this case, to teach art as Fabiola Chavez found out. Laying It Down - Handing out papers while the kids were at recess was among the duties of Rose Mary Sandate.

Mum’s The Word - Butch Holly and Jeff Tristan check out the mums being sold by Amparo Tarango and Ysela Herrera, Spanish Club members. Fund raisers help clubs to raise money, but they can also be fun. The Pre-Law Association proved this when it had a car wash in the fall. The Sul Ross Gulf donated the water and the space for the af¬ fair, and club members came equipped with soap, Windex, and a lot of energy. This energy was needed when Dr. Wayne Sheehan came driving up in a fire truck. The club sent the fire truck away sparkling, however. The day ended with wa¬ ter fights between happy Pre-Law memb ers who earned close to $ 200 . The Industrial Technology Club also held its share of fund raisers. Fajitas trays were made for the Longhorn Cattle Company, membership drive suppers were held, and a raffle was held for half a beef. A booth set up for student activities day on the mall where items made by club members were sold was also a success. Other fund raisers included bake sales in the Student Center, raffles, and the sale of mums for Homecoming. Pam Wilton 86 Organizations Car Wash?

The cards were hung in the Stu¬ dent Center as part of the decora¬ tions for the Christmas season. This was the first year the Christmas Reception was held, and plans have been made to make it an annual event.

Organizations 89 That ' s My Line Mask and Slipper is the oldest club still in existence on the Sul Ross campus. It has been active for 65 years. Traditionally, the club acts as a support arm for the Communica¬ tion and Theatre Department. Club members serve refreshments and act as hosts for all theatre productions. The club is currently undergoing changes, tending to¬ ward less of a social club and be¬ coming more involved in theatre arts. December 14 and 15 the club presented a Christmas Theatre featu ring two plays. The first production, “A Christmas Dream,’ was a one-act drama about a humble cobbler who woke up on Christmas morning believing that the Lord had promised to visit him that day. “It’s Sad, So Sad When An Elf Goes Bad,” the second play, was the tale of Santa’s tiniest and most accident-prone elf. The Mask and Slipper Club, ac¬ cording to President Sharon O’Day Best “provides Sul Ross with other avenues to theatre.” Pam Wilton Answered Prayer - Rudy Terrazas prays to the Lord after he dreamed that the Lord would come visit him.

I,,..,.— JL « Heavenly Visit Getting Ready - Dr. David Corbin sets up the telescope to be used in sighting Halley’s Comet. Look Out - Alpine community members wait in line both outside and in the Sul Ross Observatory to see the comet. The comet watch was set up to follow the SR choir’s Christinas concert. The 1985-86 school year offered students more than just the normal campus activities. It offered for most of us what will be the chance to witness a once-in-a- lifetime event--the return of Halley’s Comet. The sighting of Halley’s Comet may have been recorded as far back as 467 B.C. Every 75-76 years, the comet returns within viewing distance from Earth. Comets were first correctly de¬ scribed in 1948 by Fred Whipple, who called them dirty snowballs. This means that comets are mostly ice with dirt mixed in. The sun melts the ice causing the dirt to turn loose, which forms the tail of the comet. Students at Sul Ross had the op¬ portunity to view the comet at the university observatory or at Mc¬ Donald Observatory, which was one of the best places in the nation to view the comet. Halley’s Comet was not as spec¬ tacular this year as we had all hoped. But its last visit to Earth in 1910-1911 was a world-wide sen¬ sation. At one point, the tail of the comet stretched two-thirds of the way across the horizon to directly overhead. The Earth also passed through the tail of Halley’s Comet causing much excitement, specula¬ tion, and panic. Dicky Bain V 4 ★ r ¥ Organizations 93 up I ' m So Exdtedl The Program Council goes to great lengths to schedule perfor¬ mances and activities for the stu¬ dents. They also do their best to encourage students to attend these events. The best way to get a college student to attend anything is to have food available. And this was just what the Program Council did for several activities. Baked pota¬ toes were served at the Kier concert as well as the Hot Shandy concert. Nachos were available at the talent show and a fish fry was held at the Barbara Bailey Hutchison concert. Tacos, sandwiches, cake and chili were other goodies that attracted stu¬ dents to different shows. Posters were also put up around campus and fliers were mailed to students to help promote events. Local talent who opened for performers were also good drawing cards. But once the students were at the concerts, they let loose and had a good time. At the Sylvia concert the crowd could not stay in their seats and ended up at the foot of the stage clapping and singing.

The weather was perfect, beautiful with no wind, and the turnout was good. All of this would have made for a great Turkey Shoot except for the lack of one thing--the turkeys. The forty-eight gobblers that had been ordered for prizes did not ar¬ rive. Dr. Jim Nelson, the club’s sponsor, decided to use the dona¬ tions, which had been generous, for prizes. The club gave $10 cash awards for first place finishes and coupons for free personal pan piz¬ zas donated by Pizza Hut for sec¬ ond prizes. Competitors from all over the Big Bend area attended the shoot, which featured pistol class compe¬ tition, archery, scoped rifle class, shotgun class, open sight rifle, and black powder classes. The proceeds from the event will be used to help sponsor trips for club members. Dicky Bain Bull’s-eye - Van Granger puts up a new target after checking out how accurate his shooting was.

This involves choosing a theme, decorating, and conducting the ceremony in which class and campus favorites are named and the Brand King and Queen are crowned.

Any student who was willing to be in the spotlight could sign up for the contest. Nine students decided to display their various talents before the crowd and judges. About two hundred people showed up to witness the show and eat the free nachos served by r the Program Council. The crowd was rowdy and excited and had a great time. The judges, who consisted of students, had a tough decision choosing a winner. But when it was all said and done, Marcel Clay, who sang, had captured first place.

Dr. Ron Hubbard, director, had a tough time filling the parts. This was not because of poor actors to choose from but because of an overabundance of good actors to choose from. To solve the problem, Dr. Hubbard decided to have two sep¬ arate casts. Cast “A” consisted of Darcy Perez as Catherine, John Firestone as Bob Stein, Alexia Simmons as Fleur Stein, Rudy Terrazas as the delivery boy, Gua¬ dalupe Garcia as Ceil, Rori Cedillo as Anna, and Sharon O’Day Best as Mrs. Pentrano.

Humphries was instated as President of Sul Ross, he incorporated changes into the graduation ceremonies. In the past there had been only one “full blown” ceremony. Now, each of the three graduation ceremonies will observe all of the pomp and circumstance usually reserved for the May graduation. A gold cord will be draped around the neck of each of the honor graduates (Alpha Chi, Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Summa Cum Laude) during the ceremony. Graduation--which usually oc¬ curs Friday nights--will now take place Saturday mornings to accomodate friends and family members who must travel long dis¬ tances. To add dignity and meaning to the ceremonies, robes will be worn by professors and graduating stu¬ dents in all three graduation obser¬ vances. When asked what made him de¬ cide to make these changes, Dr. Humphries replied, “I hope to make the ceremony far more meaningful. These graduating stu¬ dents have worked long and hard and deserve the recognition.” Joni Hawkins .1 1 V 1 i n . Vi ' .

As it was com¬ posed mostly of brass, the band sounded strong and powerful playing everything from Spanish-style openers to popular music. “Love The World Away” by Kenny Rogers was a favorite among band members as well as fans. As some tunes called for soloists, several members got the chance to show off individual talents. Featured members included Freddy Falcon, Miguel Porras, Aldo Hernandez, John Gillian, Cecy Bonilla, and Alex Inman. Since a different routine was per¬ formed each week, several hours were spent in preparation. Band members were dedicated and practiced each weekday and on Saturday mornings be¬ fore home games. Flag corps members practiced with the band and also had their own prac¬ tices each evening. These thirteen girls were headed by Linette Ramirez, cap¬ tain, and Anne Scialdone, co-captain. The band was under the field direction of drum major Steve Warren. Michael Hart, band director, said, “For those people with musical abilities and background the band provides an opportunity to meet and make new friends with diverse, yet similar back¬ grounds.” Pam Wilton FLAG CORPS - Front row: Freida Cochran, Janet McCollum, Mary Flores, Pam Kothman.

Highlands Univ. 24 61 Exhibition game The Sul Ross Lobos have a winning tradition in the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, taking three of the last five football championships. Despite being picked at the bottom of the confer¬ ence race in preseason polls, the Lobos chalked up another conference championship in 1985 as they shared the crown with Austin College. The Lobos faced a stiff schedule, taking on three NAIA scholarship schools along with the normal slate of TIAA opponents. Sul Ross opened the season at home against the Western New Mexico University Mustangs. The Lobos held off a last-second charge by WNMU to gain a 21-20 victory. The Mustangs scored in the closing minute of the game to narrow the score to 21-20. They elected to go for two, but Sul Ross linebacker, David Washington, batted the pass away to ice the win. The Lobos then traveled to Oklahoma to face the Panhandle State Aggies. Both the running and passing games of Sul Ross were hampered by errors and the Aggies recorded a 28-0 shutout over the Lobos. Austin College traveled to Alpine for the TIAA opener for both teams, but Sul Ross still hadn’t recovered from the encounter with Panhandle State. A West Texas thunderstorm poured rain on the second half and slowed the Lobo’s aerial attack and aided the ball control offense of the Kangaroos. Austin College went home with a 14-0 victory. Sul Ross finally got on track and downed TIAA rival Tarleton 13-10 in a defensive struggle that gave the Lobos their first TIAA win of the season. Clinton Wallace connected on two field goals and Maurice Stephens scored on a pass from Todd McVey to seal the victory. The Lobos then took a break from conference action and traveled south of the border for an international exhibition game with the University of Nueva Leon Tigers. A crowd of 10,000 could have been a factor in the Tigers’ 7-6 upset over the Lobos. Sul Ross scored with less than two minutes remaining in the game on a 6-yard Moroles pass to Bennie Beal, but the two point pass attempt fell short. FOOTBALL TEAM —1. Clint Wallace, 2.

Football 111 Lobo Aerial Express The McMurry Indians came into town as Sul Ross reopened conference play. The Lobos took advantage of 6 Indian turnovers to win their second TIAA game of the season. Moroles tossed a 48-yard TD pass to Beal and a 15-yard TD pass to Stephens, which was enough to give the Lobos a 14-11 victory. For Homecoming, Sul Ross hosted Tarleton for their second encounter of the season. The Lobo offense put on an awesome show of power and racked up 618 yards total offense in a 48-7 rout of the Texans. The Lobo defense held Tarleton to 113 yards rushing, less than half of their average output, and 80 yards passing. A long-standing record fell as Maurice Stephens’ first catch of the game broke the Sul Ross career reception mark. The Moroles-Stephens’ express worked all day as Moroles went 20 of 30 for 322 yards and 3 TDs, all to Stephens. Stephens finished the game with eight receptions for 188 yards and 3 TDs. Sul Ross traveled to Sherman for a rematch with Austin College and the teams entered the contest tied for the TIAA lead. Moroles had another out-standing game going 22 of 39 for 301 yards and 3 TDs. Tailback John Lewis, filling in for injured Bennie Beal, racked up 193 yards rushing which was the best performance by a Lobo runningback since October 27, 1979. At halftime, the score was 24-0 in the Lobos’ favor, but when the dust had finally settled, Sul Ross had squeeked by with a 31-28 win. The victory assured Sul Ross of at least part of the conference title. For the final conference matchup, winless McMurry played host to Sul Ross. The Lobos had come off an emotional win over Austin College the week before and the Indians were determined to have at least one victory. McMurry succeeded in getting that single slash in the win column as they defeated Sul Ross 28-16. The loss put Sul Ross and Austin College into a tie for the confer¬ ence championship. With conference play over, the Lobos still had one game remaining against New Mexico High¬ lands University, one of the top teams in NAIA Division I. Maurice Stephens was the only bright spot for the Lobos as they were bombed 61-24 by NMHU. Stephens racked up 204 kickoff return yards to break the Texas collegiate record of 198 yards held by Tarleton’s Ricky Bush. Stephens’ first kickoff return went for 100 yards and a touch¬ down. He also had ten receptions for 134 yards to close out his college career. The Lobos were up and down all year and finished the season with a 5-5 record. The win-loss mark may not look very impressive, but the Lobos faced a tough schedule and once again shared the conference title.

Lobo wide receiver Maurice Stephens, a Liberty Hill senior, was named to all-conference spots at wide receiver and as return specialist. Stephens caught 43 passes for 667 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging 74.1 yards a game. He also led the team in scoring, averaging eight points a contest. Stephens was named TIAA Player of the Week three times this year and set two records, breaking the Sul Ross career recep¬ tion mark and the TIAA kickoff return mark. Gilbert Moroles, an Edinburg senior, tied with Austin College’s Todd Elliott for all-conference quarterback. Moroles finished the season with 116 completions on 228 attempts with nine inter¬ ceptions. He threw for 1,496 yards and 11 TDs. John Lewis, moved from defense to offense at mid-season, was named all-conference running- back. The Willis junior played in three games and finished the season with 390 yards on 69 carries for a 130-yard game average. On the offensive line, San Antonio senior Steve Scott was named all-conference center, and Galveston junior Tom Homrighaus was named all-conference guard. Defensively, tackle James Dayandcornerback Andre DuBose were named to the all-conference squad. DuBose, a West Columbia senior, was one of the top tacklers on the team with 47 solo tackles and 31 assists. Day, a Midland junior, had 25 solo tackles, 22 assists, and one fumble recovery. Named to second-team All-TIAA were Wade West at wide receiver, Clinton Wallace at place- kicker, David Washington at linebacker, Lawrence Montegut at linebacker, and Maurice Studymire as defensive back. Micheli, in his first season as head coach for the Lobos, shared coach of the year honors with Mel Tjeersdma of Austin College. Sul Ross and Austin College tied for the TIAA championship. Sul Ross placed two on the TIAA Academic All- Conference football team. Offensive lineman John Wenke and linebacker Anthony Reedy, both El Paso sophomores, were named to the honor team.

L TIME OUT —During a volleyball match at Graves-Pierce Gym, Coach Kay Whitley called a time out to talk to her team. Undefeated Champs The Sul Ross Lady Lobos took the lead in conference play at the TIAA Mid- Conference Tournament and upped their season record to 8-11. The Ladies captured the tournament championship by downing all three TIAA rivals. “I felt like we’d be the team to beat in the conference,” Coach Kay Whitley said. The Ladies proved Coach Whitley correct when they took the Conference Title for the eighth time in ten years. At the TIAA Conference Tournament in Stephenville the Lady Lobos beat Mc- Murry College, Tarleton State Univer¬ sity, and Austin College in the final round of play. The Sul Ross team was unbeat¬ en by TIAA competition in match play on the season. This tournament found Lisa Buentello selected as conference Player of the Year. Buentello is the first Lady Lobo to earn this title in back-to- back seasons. Sul Ross finished the season by earn¬ ing the third spot in district play and posting a 16-17 match record. Even though four of Coach Whitley’s key players will not be returning next year, she is optimistic about next year’s team.

It was a good team,” Coach Kay Whitley said of the 1985 Lady Lobo Volleyball team. Several of the players proved Coach Whitley correct when they received various honors and awards this season. Each week the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association (TIAA) chooses a Player of the Week from one of the four conference schools. To decide this, the team’s performance, and most impor¬ tantly, the individual player’s perform¬ ance for that week is considered. After the coaches nominate players, the final decision is made by the Sports Informa¬ tion Directors from each of the confer¬ ence schools. This honor was bestowed upon both Shirley Bowen and Vicky Vidana. District Player of the Week is a similar award, but it includes fourteen teams rather than just the four conference teams. Bowen received this award once and Vidana got it twice. “I was really proud of the girls,” Coach Whitley said. Lisa Buentello and Vicky Vidana gave Coach Whitley even more reason to be proud when they were named to the first team All-Confer¬ ence. Honorable mention went to Shir¬ ley Bowen and Tanya Ward. Academic All-Conference Players are those who have at least thirty semester hours, have above a 3.0 GPA, and are contributing members of the team. Gennie Schuller and Ceci Gamboa were the recipients of this award. The Lady Lobos voted on several awards to be presented at the volleyball banquet. The team decided Shirley Bowen was their Most Valuable Player. Bowen also received the Hustle Award. Most Improved Player was Gennie Schuller.

Volleyball 119 Best in the West The Sul Ross women’s rodeo team proved to everyone that they were the best in the nation in 1985 as they won the College National Finals Rodeo in Bozeman, MT, in June. This was the second time that the women’s national title was brought back to Sul Ross. Their only other national title came in 1962. The 1985 team which conquered the nation consisted of Jacque Jenkins, Tami Noble, and Jinita Williams. Both Jacque and Tami have finished up their collegiate eligibility. The fall semester was somewhat of a letdown for the women’s team as they finished up the semester in third place in the Southwest Region. The team only had three members in the fall and because one dropped out of school at Christmas, the outlook for the spring se¬ mester was not good. With only two girls competing, the chances of going to the College National Finals Rodeo again this summer were slim. The team must finish first or sec¬ ond in the Southwest Region to qualify for the CNFR. Though the team is not as strong as last year’s team, Rodeo Coach John Mahoney said that with some hard work and determination the girls should still individually make an impressive showing for Sul Ross.

When Tuff Hedeman’s college rodeo eligibility expired last year, the Sul Ross men’s rodeo team suffered a big blow. During his four years on the team, Tuff helped lead them to first place in the Southwest Region every year. He was also a member of Sul Ross’ national championship teams in 1982 and 1983. Tuff didn’t end his rodeo career upon completion of his eligibility, though, as he continued to use his skills in the pro¬ fessional rodeo circuit. Tuff made his presence known in the pro ranks in 1985 when he was runner-up for the na¬ tional championship in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) in bull riding. Tuff also earned $102,000, which more than made up for the aches and bruises he received. “Tuff is the best rodeo cowboy to come out of Sul Ross,” said John Mahoney, SR rodeo coach. “He’s done more than anyone in the last four years to get national recognition for Sul Ross.” Dicky Bain Ride ’Em Cowboy - Tuff Hedeman shows off his winning style and makes saddle bronc riding actu¬ ally look easy.

Rodeo 123 Horsing Around The Sul Ross men’s rodeo team was not as strong this year as it was last year, but according to Rodeo Coach John Mahoney the team was much bet¬ ter than the fall performance record shows. Several injuries held the team back during the fall, but by the spring semester the injuries were healed and team members were looking forward to the upcoming rodeos. Sophomore Todd Watkins, who had done well his freshman year, suffered a slow start in the fall. His winter profes¬ sional rodeo performances were good, however and Coach Mahoney expected Watkins to do well in spring competition. Glyn Hutto also had a slow start this year because of a knee operation in the spring of 1985. By spring 1986 Hutto’s knee was stronger and Coach Mahoney felt he would perform well. With these key members in better shape, the challenges facing the team did not seem as hard to face. An uphill battle would have to be fought to catch Western Texas College, who was in first place. Coach Mahoney had high hopes for both this spring and next year. “Tenative commitments from junior col¬ lege transfers for next year,” he said, “could very well give Sul Ross the best men’s rodeo team it has ever had.” Pam Wilton Nice Form - A cowboy from New Mexico Junior College shows good form while calf roping at a Sul Ross rodeo.

The Sul Ross Lobos refused to strive for anything less than excellence in their battle against the teams they took on this year. This battle would prove to be a tough one in the 1986 season as 44 out of the 60 schools the Lobos played were scholar¬ ship schools. With 10 new pitchers on the team and 20 new recruits in all, however, the Lobos had high expectations for this sea¬ son. All of the starting players were juniors, so experience was on the Lobos’ side as well. “Improvements in both pitching and hitting,” said Coach Brooks, “should make a difference this year.” The team, headed by Coach Brooks and Assistant Coaches Tom Chandler and Calvin King, practiced every day at Kokernot Field. Along with the regular baseball practices, the team went through a weight training program. The coaches were pleased with the team’s determination and agreed the 1986 Lobos were the hardest workers and had the best attitude of any team they had ever worked with.

The turnaround in the basketball program is the result of a couple of factors. First, successful recruiting brought more talent to the team than ever. Second, and most important, ac¬ cording to Head Basketball Coach John¬ ny Brown, is that the team is built around discipline. “We have even reevaluated our recruiting programs to look first for kids with discipline and then look at their tal¬ ent, ” said Coach Brown. “We may sacri¬ fice a little talent, but through hard work we can be competitive.” Coach Brown also feels that it is not the best five players who should make up the starting team. “I would rather have five kids with less ability play well together than have five good kids who cannot play as a team.” The outlook for next year is good as the team will only be losing two players to graduation. The players and coaching staff also learned a lot this season which will help prepare them for next year.

Ac¬ cording to Coach Johnny Brown, however, there is more to success than just winning. “We have got a far greater challenge ahead of us to teach kids through athlet¬ ics that the dedication they have will lat¬ er help them to solve problems in life,” said Coach Brown. Since the players will not always have athletics to fall back on, Coach Brown believes that it is more im¬ portant for them to be students who are athletes than to be athletes who are stu¬ dents. This type of player is usually more disciplined and willing to work with teammates. “Working together is what makes a team successful,” said Coach Brown. “And a person who is disciplined and willing to work on the court will be better prepared for the same type of actions off the court.” “When a player puts on a Lobo uniform, he is representing Sul Ross and this is a big responsibility,” commented Brown. “As long as I am here we are never going to sacrifice the Sul Ross im¬ age and portray bad sportsmanship. We will represent the school in a positive manner.” Brand Staff 132 Men’s Basketball The Lobo Shuffle - “ . . . Now we’re not here to cause no trouble. We’re just here to do the Lobo shuffle.

NAIA District 8 Playoffs Scramble - Liz Busic, Dana Souter, and Kaye Hufstedler scramble for the loose ball in a game against Lubbock Christian College. The Lady Lobos of 1985-86 had a tough act to follow after the 1984-85 girls finished the season as conference co-champs and ranked fifth in the dis¬ trict. Following up on last year’s results would also be tough as three all-time leading scorers and rebounders graduat¬ ed. Preseason polls had Sul Ross ranked ninth out of fourteen teams in the dis¬ trict, and no one expected the Lady Lo¬ bos to do well with only four players re¬ turning from last year’s squad. “But what was supposed to be a rebuilding year turned out instead to be a really good season,” said Coach Chet Sample. “I am amazed at how we have done so far. The girls have done a heck of a job.” With three games still left in the sea¬ son, the Lady Lobos were sporting a 12- 6 record and guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. “If we win the last three games we will finish up with a good season,” said Coach Sample. “This is the third year in a row we have had a winning record and a playoff birth.” Dicky Bain Up And Away - Liz Busic puts in an easy two against tough defense while Dana Souter waits for the ball to drop.

And become a team they did as their performance for the season clearly showed. With three games yet to be played, the Lady Lobos had set several single game records, including most field goals made, most points scored, most rebounds, and best field goal percentage. Over all, they averaged more points per game than any other Lady Lobo team. The team accomplished all of this, plus much more, despite their lack of height. “Every team we played was tall¬ er,” said Coach Ch et Sample. “But our size may have been a plus for us as far as quickness goes.” Coach Sample adjusted the game plan to make use of the team’s quickness for presses and fast breaks. The success of the 1985-86 Lady Lo¬ bos was due to their working together as a team. “This was as much a team ef¬ fort as I have ever coached,” said Coach Sample. “The girls displayed a lot of hustle and enthusiasm.” Dicky Bain Quick Stop - Leslie Martin puts on the brakes Preparing For The Year - Misela Luevano and prepares to put up a shot while Dana Souter drives in for an easy layup during a scrimmage and Delilia Gonzales look on. held early in the season. “And Then ... 99 - The Lady Lobos get to take a breather while Coach Chet Sample gives them some advice during a time out. 136 Women’s Basketball “The girls displayed a bt of hustle and enthusiasm Coach Sample Nothing To It - Leslie Martin breaks free on a fast break for an easy two as Kaye Hufstedler stands ready for the rebound. 3-Point Play - During a game against the LCC Chaps, Vicky Vidana shoots a short jumper and also draws the foul.

Another person with a winning spirit, Gary Gallego, acted as student assistant to Coach Whitley. Gallego practiced with the team and gave members a big dose of moral support. It was a rebuilding year for the team and new leaders had to be found as five of last year’s members graduated. The 1985 spring season was a good season, however.

These six players dominated their competition, taking 21 singles matches and nine doubles matches for 30 wins. Advancing to the NAIA District 8 competition, the women’s team placed third and were only 3 points out of second place. Throughout the 1985 conference ac¬ tion the Sul Ross men were in contention for the title. Two members of the team advanced to district competition. Ted Bedwell and Danny Ponce were both de¬ feated in the first round. In doubles, they beat McMurry College in the first round before losing to number one Midwestern.

It would be tough following up on the pre¬ vious season’s standings, when Sul Ross sat atop the conference scoreboard. The 1985 SRSU team shot seventy strokes better than their nearest compe¬ tition to capture their first TIAA golf championship. Blake Moody and Kevin Farrer battled each other and finished up one-two in medalist play. “We are hoping to have another good team,” said John Leavitt, assistant to Coach Bob Moran. “It is still too early to tell who will fill in the vacancies, though. I have eleven guys to work with, which is more than I thought would come out.” Leavitt also was not sure how tough the other conference schools were going to be. The golf team had scheduled an invitational tournament in San Saba and were to finish up the season with three conference tournaments held at San Antonio, Austin College, and Stephenville.

Coach Peltzer had high hopes for the tracksters he had to work with. “There are not a lot of track participators at Sul Ross,” said Coach Peltzer. “But what we lack in quantity we make up for in quality.” Some new participants, along with the returning tracksters, should give the Lobos a good season. John Lewis, who runs the 100, 200, and the sprint relay, has qualified for nationals two consecutive years and should have another good season. Two new recruits have both pole vaulted over thirteen feet in high school and should produce good results in that event. The field events also have quality competitors who will put in good showings. The weak spot in the Lobos attack will be in the distance events. The girls’ team should have strong performances in the field events with their weak spot coming in the sprints.

An IBM 36, an admin¬ istrative computer system, will allow the university to update its record keeping systems, most of which have been man¬ ual in previous years. The main frame of the system is located in Data Processing of the Administration Building. The computer system will have a great impact on Sul Ross students as well. Registration will not be quite as tedious because information will be processed much faster and procedures will be simplified. Areas to be put on the computer include admissions; student records; fis¬ cal functions including payroll, cashiers, general accounting, and purchasing; fi¬ nancial aid; student housing; alumni de¬ velopment; and property inventory. The 68th Texas Legislature appropri¬ ated the funds, which came to a total of more than $260,000, to buy this com¬ puter system. When the computer system is in full operation, data will be recalled in a much shorter period of time which will enable the administration to better man¬ age and allocate the resources of the university.

This summer, two geology field camps were held, each lasting six weeks. During the camps, students visited different areas and learned the backgrounds to the rocks and structures. They walked out different contact zones using maps, compasses, and other instruments and then con¬ structed their own maps from the gathered infor¬ mation. Brad Baker, a senior geology major, attended the first field camp. “It’s not only a camp of geology,” Brad said, “but also a camp of surviv¬ al.” He said that the campers encountered rain storms and hail storms, and had to sleep and cook outdoors. “We also learned to pack in a lot of water because the heat was terrible.” The students had to be in shape because they walked several miles a day and climbed moun¬ tains and rock formations. “One guy accidentally grabbed hold of a rattlesnake while chimbing a mountain,” Brad said. Luckily, he escaped in¬ jury. During the camp, students and supervisors traveled to the Bend, Paisano Mexico.

As recognition for their achievements, Stacy Watson of Watson Jewelers donated Bulova Caravel Quartz watches to the volleyball team, women’s basketball team, women’s tennis team, and men’s golf team. The presentations were made during halftime ceremonies at the Sul Ross-McMurry football game. • The watches had the player’s name engraved on the back, and the face of the watch was imprinted with the Bar SR Bar emblem and 1984-85 Champions. Mr. Watson also presented the Sul Ross national champion¬ ship women’s rodeo team with Citizen Watches in a special ceremony at the Turner Range Animal Science Center. Over the past four years, Watson Jewelers has also recognized two Sul Ross national championship men’s rodeo teams. During Homecoming halftime ceremonies, Mr. Watson awarded the Homecoming Queen with a Citizen Watch. Each year for about twenty years, Watson Jewelers has been donating watches to the Homecoming Queens. When asked why he donates watches, Mr. Watson replied, “I am a business person who likes to recognize people. I want to give them something in return for what they have given us.” Mr. Watson has been an avid supporter of the Lobos for several years. Whenever a pep rally or sporting event is held, chances are that he will be there. Dicky Bain RECOGNITION - Pres.

They obtain jobs at various places, including the local businesses and ranches, but the major employer of students is the university itself. Sul Ross offers many jobs, one of which is working in the bookstore. Kent Reese, a senior business major from Ft. Davis, has worked in the bookstore for about two years. His hard work paid off as he was promoted to Clerk II in January, 1985. As Clerk II, Kent ha s several duties. He takes care of the daily recap sheets for the bookstore and game room and also handles the timesheets. He helps order supplies, textbooks, and clothes, and also does some correspondence with book companies and customers. In addition to these duties Kent also runs the register. “I really enjoy working at the bookstore,” Kent said. “It is a fascinating job and is definitely a challenge. Ann Hindman (manager of the bookstore and game room) is a great person to work with.” Dicky Bain 152 Seniors Lorinda Lara, Alpine Thomas Lara, Ft.

(fin (he ' JuM ' k How Great Thou ART Sul Ross may have a small art department, but one must judge it on quality, not quantity. “The art students at Sul Ross are as good as I have had anywhere else,” said Dr. Roy Dodson. “But with a small department, there just aren’t as many.” The SRSU Art Department attracts students from all over, including Germany, Iran, and Taiwan. The instructors even come from all over the United States which makes for great diversity among the faculty and students for such a small college. Art students can choose from a variety of sub¬ jects. Drawing, painting, sculpting, ceramics, print making, and art history are offered as well as a course in various designs. The art depart¬ ment mainly sticks to the basics, but occasionally some requested courses are also taught, such as a cartooning class that was offered in the fall. Some of the art students have had their works printed in the Sul Ross newspaper, the Skyline. Others have even sent cartoons to magazines to try and sell them. The faculty in the Art Department is always willing to help in any way they can. “The stu¬ dents also learn much from each other,” Dodson said. The department may be small but this gives the instructors and students a better chance to get to know each other. “By the end of the se¬ mester,” Dod son said, “we are all good friends.” Dicky Bain KNOCKOUT - Pete Mata puts the final touches on one of his artworks.

The program is designed for undergraduate students, majoring in history, who are interested in Federal careeers, particularly with the National Park Service. Two Sul Ross students had the privilege of be¬ ing selected to work at the Fort Davis National Historic Site under the coop program. Teri Aus¬ tin and Christie Morawe started working in De¬ cember, 1984, and their work schedules consist¬ ed of many different things. Part of the time, they were stationed at the visitor’s center, explaining to the visitors what there is to see and do at the fort. Other times, Teri and Christie worked in the commanding officer’s quarters and the kitchen, interpreting the buildings to the sight seers. Other duties included opening and closing the fort and feeding the horses. Teri and Christie worked part-time during the spring semester and full time during the summer. Dealing with the visitors is often an experi¬ ence. Many are misinformed about what the fort was and some are prejudiced against black sol¬ diers. Teri had an interesting encounter with a group of seventy-five foreign visitors from several differ¬ ent countries. She gave the group a ten minute speech and then asked for questions only to find out that they didn’t speak English. Upon graduation and completion of the coop program, Teri and Christie will be considered for Civil Service employment and placed on an exempt list for 120. Dicky Bain BACK IN TIME - Part of Teri’s job at the fort was dressing up in historical costumes and explaining what the fort was to the visitors.

The ensemble is a university course that meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. - Students get credit for being members and grading is based on attendance. One does not have to be a music major to join the ensemble and no auditions are necessary. Currently, there are about twenty members, but the number varies each semester. The ensemble plays everything from jazz to swing and pop to rock. One concert is performed in the fall as well as a Christmas Dance spon¬ sored by the Pilot Club at the Chute. This is a special event in that half of the proceeds is dona¬ ted to the Music Department. Each year the Mu¬ sic Department receives about $1000 from the Pilot Club for performing at the dance. The Jazz Ensemble uses this money to fund a tour during the spring semester. During the tour, the ensemble plays at area high schools and malls.

This year the Skyline staff decided to add a new feature to the paper-a Student Spotlight. The Student Spotlight focuses on students’ points of view to a wide variety of subjects, from whether or not there should be a break during the fall semester to what changes should be made at the cafeteria. Each week, Kelly Flint, assistant editor of the Skyline, interviews students at random on a specific topic for that week’s newspaper. A photographer is also on hand to photograph those interviewed. The students’ replies and pic¬ tures are then printed in the Skyline. The Student Spotlight gives students a chance to voice their ideas and opinions. In fact, many won’t speak out and say what they feel until someone asks them to. The new feature has been received well by the Skyline readers as they like to read what their peers have to say. Dicky Bain STUDENT’S VIEW - For the Student Spotlight, Kelly Flint asks Pam Gaddis what music she listens to and how it influences her actions. Student Spotlight Diana Smith, Sophomore, Mu§ic Education Major Yes, I think bo because by now everyone is tired of going to class. If we had a fall break, students would come back with a better attitude for school. It breaks the every day routine and allows students to get crazy for a week without having to suffer the con¬ sequences.” Do you feel that a fall break is necessary between the first of the semester and Thanksgiving holidays? Joe Smith, Freshman, Accounting Major Yes, I think we should. I’ll take as many breaks as possible . . . Some people live quite a ways off and it takes three days to get there. That doesn ' t leave much time to see family and friends. It (an extra break) would give us a break; if you go a long time, you get burned out. Frieda Cochran, Freshman, Psychology ‘‘Yes, because that way people can have a break between the first day of school and Thanks¬ giving. It’s too long between those times and students begin to get worn out from classes. Three days to a week would be a nice break in the routine of everyday classes.” Jeremiah Stock, Sophomore, Geology Major “No. We’ve already got Thanksgiving break, so why do we need another one. I think the semester goes by just as quickly without a break in there. I wouldn’t mind an extra break as long as we didn’t have to go an extra week longer.” Chaz Eubank, Junior, Meat Science Major ‘‘Hell, yes. If we have one for the spring, why not have one for the fall? The stretch is too long between the beginning of the semester and Thanksgiving holidays. A lot of other universi¬ ties have a fall break, and besides, I don’t know about others, but I’m sick of school.” Page 2, The Skyline, November 14, 1985 Sophomores 161 Rick Gray, Balmorhea Kevin Grissom, Odessa Velma Gutierrez, Crane Larry Hartwick, Brazoria Dawn Henry, San Antonio Retta Hensch, Houston Marcelo Hernandez, Ozona Kelly Heroy, San Antonio Arthur Herrera, El Paso Larron Herring, Midland Katie Higgins, Whiteface Johnnie Holbrooks, White River Lake David Jones, Llano Francis Jones, Houston Gil Komechak, Ft.

They led the pep rallies, cheered at the football, volleyball, and basketball games, made posters, and per¬ formed many other activities to promote Lobo spirit. As though these were not enough to keep them busy, the Lobo cheerleaders also held two Tiny Tot Cheerleading Camps during the fall se¬ mester. The camps were for young girls, grades kin¬ dergarten through sixth. The cost was five dollars a person and the money went into the cheerlead¬ ers’ fund. The first camp was held in September and focused mainly on football cheers. The second camp incorporated basketball chants into the program. At both camps, the Lobo cheerleaders also taught the girls stretches, jumps, and spirit chant ' s. The cheerleaders also performed stunts for the young ladies, and cheerleaderEva Arana said, “They enjoyed that more than anything.” At the end of the camp, the future cheerlead¬ ers received a Lobo Appreciation certificate. “The girls really enjoyed the camp,” Eva said, “They were neat to work with and we had a lot of fun.” Because of the success of the camps, the cheerleaders planned to have more in the spring.

This past summer, twenty students from Mexi¬ co spent five weeks learning English in a program offered by the Sul Ross Intensive Language Training Institute. The program, directed and co¬ ordinated by Dr. Abelardo Baeza, has been offered for six years. The students were from all over Mexico, in¬ cluding Chihuahua City, Monterrey, Mexico City, and Guadalajara, and they boasted a wide variety of majors, from Pre Med to Business Ad¬ ministration. TRANSLATE - Dr. Abelardo Baeza speaks in Spanish and Dorothy Leavitt in English in an attempt to register the foreign students in the lan¬ guage program. Along with the daily slate of classroom and lab work, the students also participated in several so¬ cial and cultural activities. Several churches held suppers while the Chamber of Commerce made it possible for them to visit all the local businesses. The students also visited the Fort Da¬ vis National Historic Site, Big Bend National Park, and other local attractions. While some students followed their original plans and attended other universities back home, many decided to stay at Sul Ross because they liked their experiences here.

The job of putting to¬ gether a yearbook promised to be easier than it had been in years past because an IBM Personal Computer had been ordered. As the computer was not delivered until November 7, however, the first deadline had to be extended. The staff was then faced with learning to use the computer as well as meeting two deadlines at once. When some of the copy was later saved on the diskette, the staff found itself under another dark cloud as the phone modem that was supposed to transmit the information directly to the typeset¬ ting system in Shawnee Mission, Kansas was not working properly. The disk was mailed, however, and the printed copy was returned, ready to be laid out. Although the computer posed several prob¬ lems at the beginning, it is expectedto be an as¬ set to the staff in years to come. The typestar 2000 Software Program was de¬ signed to enable staffs to compose yearbook copy, then transmit it directly to the typesetting system in Shawnee Mission. The copy would then be printed out and the staff would do all layouts. In previous years, layouts were done by the year¬ book company. The Brand Staff, with its new IBM PC can now produce more complex copy settings, enjoy an automatic indexing program, and hopefully, produce the Brand quicker and easier.

The purpose of the scholarship program is to encourage excellence in academic performance of criminal justice majors and to stimulate profes¬ sionalism in law enforcement. Richard Joachim of Alpine and Thomas Kurie of Marathon, both criminal justice majors, were awarded the $500 scholarships from the Sheriffs’ Association of Texas. Joachim, a senior, works for the United States Border Patrol in Alpine. He is a member of the Alpha Epsilon Xi Chapter of Alpha Phi Sigma, the national criminal justice honor society. Kurie, a junior, is also a member of Alpha Epsilon Xi. In order to be eligible for these scholarships, the recipients must be criminal justice majors in high academic standing, be of high moral charac¬ ter, and demonstrate a sincere commitment to a career in law enforcement. The presentations were made by Presidic County Sheriff Rick Thompson; Jeff Davis Coun¬ ty Sheriff Harvey Adams; and John Hudgens, chairman of the SRSU Criminal Justice Depart¬ ment.

INAUGURATION —Ruben Escobedo, Board of Regents member, and John Cargile, chairman, inaugurate Pres. Jack Humphries in March 1985. YEARS OF SERVICE— Pres. Jack Humphries, Ruben Escobedo, John Cargile, and Ed Longcope honor Otilio Ramos for his 38 years of service at Sul Ross. 172 Board of Regents Dr. Jack Humphries has served as Sul Ross president for almost two years. He came to Alpine from Huntsville, where he was vice president of academic affairs at Sam Houston State University. Dr. Humphries’ goal for Sul Ross can , be summed up in one word-quality. “First and foremost,’’ Humphries said, “we have to follow through with our commitment to quality.” He is dedicated to having quality in the classrooms, laboratories, library col¬ lections, and all other activities and pro¬ grams on campus. He wants everyone to strive to improve every program so that people will recognize Sul Ross as a first class university. Humphries’ goal is for Sul Ross to be the educational leader in southwest Texas. “I am delighted with the receptivity of the people on campus and the region who see what we are trying to accomplish and are openly supportive of it. People like to take pride in what they take part in and want to be associated with a winner.” Humphries said that the university’s record of success is eye catching. Stu¬ dents see this and want to be part of the parade. “We want to lead the parade,” he said. Achieving quality in all aspects of Sul Ross is a reasonable goal and he even regards it as an expectation. Sul Ross needs to be as successful as possible. “Success breeds success,” Humphries said.

Investigators said the accident was caused by an insect flying into the face of the driver of the car in which Sharon Ann Smith, 20, was riding. Sharon, a sophomore at Sul Ross State University, was the editor of the 1985 Brand and was active in the Baptist Student Union. She would have attended aBSU mission in the summer, working as a counselor at the Round Rock Children’s School. Dear Sharon, We miss you. This yearbook is dedicated to you in memory of all the fun and hard work we had creating and designing the 1985 yearbook, all the hours of brainstorming, looking for more ideas, trying to use the latest advertising designs to create another TIPA sweepstake winning yearbook. We love you. We have thought of you and talked about you often. Memories of your laughter, friendship, dedication, and sweet nature are treasured. We won’t forget. The Brand Staff Pam Wilton Assistant Editor Barbara Richerson Advisor Photographer Colophon Volume 64 of the Sul Ross State Uni¬ versity BRAND yearbook was designed by the staff in cooperation with the Uni¬ versity Print Shop and the News In¬ formation Service. The publisher was In¬ ter-Collegiate Press in Shawnee Mission, Kansas. The class and faculty portraits were taken by Yearbook Associates of Willmington, Mass. The cover for the yearbook is black linen with a design of hot stamped silver and black and red silkscreen. Pages are printed on 80 lb. high gloss enamel pa¬ per. All layout styles were designed by the staff using six column design 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 Rolando Cedillo. Headlines were set in Souvenir Medi¬ um, Commercial Script, and Windsor Bold on a Compugraphic 7200 I headlin¬ er. Body type was set in 10 12 Souve¬ nir Light; captions were set in 8 point with a medium lead-in. Photographers: Rolando Cedillo, Greg Mullen, Gabe Garcia, John Blackman Contributors: Chris Clements, John Street, Joni Hawkins, Dave Swanson. Special thanks to R. B.

Looking back on the academic year, one can easily see the changes which were made at Sul Ross. These changes were all part of Sul Ross’commitment to quality, a goal to make the university the best it can be. A new computer system, the IBM 36, was installed in the Administration Building. This new system, which connected all offices to the main computer, made the operation of the university more efficient. The Student Center received a facelift, as it was repainted and a giant-screen TV installed. The bookstore also got a new look as it received new carpet, paint, and an improved line of merchandise to ensure that the students receive a variety of quality items. Both the TV room at the Student Center and the lobby at Mountainside received new furniture to make for a comfortable atmosphere. Improvements in the landscape were also made around campus to make the university more pleasing to the sight. The traditional graduation was changed from one “full blown” ceremony to three ceremonies which will incorporate all the pomp and circumstance usually reserved for the May graduation. All of these changes were made for one reason-to make Sul Ross a university that will be known for its commitment to quality. These changes, along with several others, helped to make Sul Ross So Right. Dicky Bain 200 Closing
