Look into the mirror and see reflections of cherished moments and events. The 1987 Brand gives you a look at the past and a glimpse of the future. Look closer, and you can see the ups and downs--the triumphs, tragedies and everyday events that made 1986-1987 a unique year at Sul Ross and in the world. On the political side of life, we celebrated the bicentennial of the United States Constitution, along with the Sesquicentennial of Texas. After accusations of a fraudulent election, a coup d’ etat placed Corazon Aquino in power in the Phillipines. A similar coup in Haiti forced Haitian dictator Duvalier to seek exile in France. Negotiations fell apart in Iceland as President Ronald Reagan met for the first time with Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev to discuss the reduction of nuclear arms. The issue was left unresolved. In retaliation for increased terrorist attacks on Americans, the U.S. Armed Forces bombed Libya, causing injury to leader Colonel Khadafi’s family. The world was shocked to hear that Swedish Prime Minister Olaf Palme had been assassinated. Bill Clements defeated Mark White in the gubernatorial race in Texas. Speaker of the house Tip O’Neill retired and was replaced by Jim Wright, a Texas senator. American hostage Father Martin Jenco was released unexpectedly last July by the Islamic Jihad. Later in the year, the public was informed that Father Jenco’s release had been conditional. A political scandal came to light involving the U.S. sale of arms to Iran. People began to lose faith in President Reagan. It was discovered later that the monies from the sale of arms to Iran were then diverted to the contras in Nicaragua. On the Fourth of July, a celebration to end all celebrations was held to mark the completion of the restoration of the Statue of Liberty. Ships filled the New York harbor and spectacular fireworks filled the skies. There were few tragedies this year, compared to past years. On an international level, many deaths resulted from the rising discontent of blacks with their apartheid government in South Africa. A nuclear plant at Chernobyl in the Soviet Union exploded, killing 31 people and causing alarm throughout the world. Len Bias, a promising young basketball star for the University of Maryland, and Don Rogers of the Clevelend Browns died of cocaine toxicity. At home, many people lost their jobs when oil prices fell to below $10 a barrel. Here at home, early fall brought unexpected floods to Alpine causing two fatalities. There were many triumphs in 1986. Sul Ross students were kept busy this summer with the Save Ol’ Sully campaign. Almost 1,000 people flocked to Austin to make their plea for their school. As a result, the college remained open and enrollment for the fall session rose 10 percent. Another actor was elected into our political system. Clint Eastwood was elected mayor of Carmel, Calif. The Voyager became the first airplane to travel around the world without refueling. The Monkees made a comeback in the music world. New York surprised sports critics by winning both the Superbowl and the World Series. Thousands of people joined hands for the homeless in “Hands Across America.” Nine hundred people marched halfway across the nation to protest nuclear arms in the Great Peace March. Martin Luther King Day was celebrated worldwide for the first time. Royal weddings were in the air as Prince Edward wed Sarah Ferguson. Successful ventures of 1986 included Max Headroom who debuted on national television in computerized Coca Cola commercials, stressing “Catch the Wave!”“Top Gun,” the top- rated film, catapulted Tom Cruise into the hearts of every American. The musical group Boston delighted their anxious fans with a new album after seven years. Two of the most entertaining sitcoms of the year were “Growing Pains” and “The Cosby Show.” Anhueser-Busch hit the jackpot when they recruited their new spokes- dog, Spuds McKensie. He’s a partyin’ dude! And move over Johnny Carson! David Letterman celebrated the fifth anniversary of Late Night. 1986 — What was in? ° r o na Paisley ,C, Color Film Classics TaQ , y ro ta9 fuz , wheei ° f F °r e The 1986 Brand! tlrru P Pa n t s Year in Review 17 Having a Good Time at Sul Ross 18 CAMPUS1LIFE 19 Save Or Sully The Fight for Survival 20 Save Oi’ Sully Sul Ross Prepares to do Battle With the Select Commitee on Higher Education The Select Committee on High¬ er Education, a 24-member group appointed last year by Governor Mark White, was formed to re¬ search and recommend to the next Texas legislative session im¬ provements to the state’s col¬ leges, universities, and governing systems. One of the options was closing or consolidating 34 of the state’s higher education institutions. On the list for closure were UTPB, Texas A M at Galveston, East Texas State at Commerce, and SRSU. With the mere suggestion that closure was a possibility, the usu¬ al pace in Alpine, described in the El Paso Times as ’’laid back”, immediately quickened. Area residents, former and current SR students, and adminis¬ trators began preparing to do battle early in June and contin¬ ued their efforts through July 10 when a hearing was scheduled in Austin. TV News - Cameraman Michael Martinez and reporter Frank Mamola interview Dr. Vic Morgan as part of Channel 7’s cover¬ age of the situation. Dear Sir - Travis Hendrix, an Alpine public school student, writes his letter at the City Hall to be sent to the Select Committee in Austin. I Sec You In Austin - Signs appeared on billboards, buildings, doors and vehicles, emphasizing support for Sul Ross. Everyone Helps - Age was not a crite¬ rion when it came to stuffing envelopes to notify everyone of the help needed to keep SR open. 22 Save OP Sully Community Effort - Sul Ross faculty, students, and Alpine residents stuff enve¬ lopes with letters for SR exes. The Fight for Survival Continues At the hearing, Bill Donnell, Marathon rancher and former member of the Board of Regents, reflected on this strong cohesive¬ ness. ’’Not since Pancho Villa’s raid on the Brite Ranch have the people of the vast Big Bend area been more disturbed than they are now by the threat of the closure of Sul Ross. The people of Alpine and literally all the towns and communities of this last frontier are circling the wag¬ ons and preparing for a last ditch fight to preserve the only four- year institution of higher learning to them within hundreds of miles.” This ’’last ditch fight” was tak¬ en seriously by Sul Ross supporters. The university breathes life into Alpine. As one Alpine resident told the Ava¬ lanche (June 19), ”Sul Ross is our oil well. If it goes under, we’re all in trouble.” Mickey Havens, SR vice presi¬ dent for business affairs, was quoted in the Odessa American (July 1), ’’You can’t imagine the support. You have to search long and hard to find those not involved.” pg] S.O.S. Buttons - Ray Douglas and Tripp Davenport make Save 01’ Sully buttons to sell to help finance the trip to Austin.

Patient Vigil - Sul Ross supporters fill the Senate visitor gallery two hours be¬ fore the hearing. Save 01’ Sully - SR President Jack Humphries addresses Select Committee members during July 10 hearing. It has been said we never know how much we love some¬ thing until it is almost gone. This was the case in Alpine this summer. About 1,000 Sul Ross supporters traveled to Austin to attend the Senate hearing on whether SR would be closed, merged, or left as is. Four busloads of students and townspeople left Alpine at 2 a.m. on July 10 for Austin. Others drove or flew and everybody met at Waterloo Park to the Capitol Building. The crowd arrived two hours early. The 525-seat visitors’ gallery was filled as was all the standing room. Chairs were set up on the Senate floor and oth¬ ers stood around the perimeter of the room. The hearing was very emotion¬ al, with the crowd all in red and gray and applauding speakers testifying in favor of Sul Ross. Speaking for SR were Walter Mischer of Houston, SR President Jack Humphries, David Moore of the First National Bank in Alpine, rancher Bill Donnell of Marathon, and senator Bill Sims of San Angelo. Also state representatives Dud¬ ley Harrison of Sanderson and Larry Don Shaw of Big Spring, Pete Snelson of Midland, retired Texas Supreme Court chief justice Jack Pope of Austin, and SR ex-student E.G. Donabauer of Fayetteville,1 Ark. Letters were read from former Governor D o 1 p h Briscoe, U. S. representative Tom Loeffler, rancher Clayton Williams, and San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros. At the end of the hearing, the Select Committee voted unani¬ mously to remove SR from the list for possible closures while the SR crowd, tears in eyes, stood and cheered. Humphries told the committee, ’’For the longest time, 1 suppose SR was in the category of out-of- sight, out-of-mind. You’ve certain¬ ly remedied that.” The Save Ol’ Sully trip not only ended success¬ fully but also brought out the Sul Ross spirit in us all.

Mary Todd Boering and Linda Isbell starred as two neighbors who had trouble getting along, but finally became friends and even joined forces against their errant husbands. ’’The Miss Firecracker Contest”, a Beth Henley comedy, was directed by Alpine resident Rilda Caudle. Karen Lister played the part of Carnelle Scott, who hoped a victory in the Miss Firecracker Contest would improve her reputation and allow her to leave town in a ’’blaze of glory.” The play also features Darlyne Freeman and David Woodward as her cousins and a seamstress played by Kim McNa¬ mara. Crowds walked away from ’’Annie Get Your Gun” singing such familiar tunes as ’’Anything You Can Do” and ’’Doin’ What Comes Naturally.” This Irving Berlin musical was the story of Annie Oakley, played by Shawna Ford, who fell in love with sharp¬ shooter Frank Butler, played by Michael Hart. Annie learns that ’’You Can’t Get A Man With a Gun” and lets Frank outshoot her in a final showdown. Buffalo Bill was played by Mike Ford, and B illy Jo Perez was Sitting Bull. The musical was popular and many attended more than one performance. [%] Pam Bain A Coupla White Chicks - Mary Todd Boering and Linda Isbell co-starred in this zany comedy.

Registration Technologically Speaking Computerized Registration Comes to Sul Ross Registration and long lines have always gone hand in hand. This year it got a little ’’out of hand,” however when many stu¬ dents spent up to four hours reg¬ istering. Dorothy Leavitt, regis¬ trar, offered an explanation for the problems. First, registration was sched¬ uled for 12 hours total and, in reality, it took 16 hours. In the past, preregistration in the spring had made fall registration a 12- hour process. Preregistration was canceled this year since comput¬ ers would be used in the fall, and two types of registration for the fall was undesirable. Because there was no preregistration, an extra 200 students had to regis¬ ter this fall. Second, the response time on the computer was slower than ex¬ pected. This problem was caused by other jobs being run on the computer at the same time regis¬ tration was taking place. Because of a lack of time and personnel, all the names of stu¬ dents on hold or who had put up property deposits in the past were not yet entered on the com¬ puter, and this played a part in slowing the registration process. This was Sul Ross’ first full attempt at on-line registration, and although there were many problems, the outcome may well have been worth it. Approximately 2,300 students en¬ rolled to attend Sul Ross for the fall, g] Pam Bain 28 Registration Questions, Questions - Kiki Carrasco assists as Del Mathis varifies Brent Parsons printout.

Just For The Record - Ray Douglas fin¬ ishes up the paperwork so Jay Parks can start moving in to his new home. ’’And Listen To This...” - Tammy Johnson, Cindy Wall, and Alexia Simmons take time out to get acquainted. The Right Choice Choosing a Place to Live is an Important Choice for Sul Ross Students The first major decision a stu¬ dent must make about college is where to live. A variety of lodg¬ ings are provided both on and off campus. As a rule, a student should have completed 45 hours before moving off campus. Even after the 45 hours have been ob¬ tained, however, some students choose to remain on campus. Bo Aycock, an RAS major, has lived both on and off campus. He chose to live on campus this year because he says that you tend to lose touch with friends when you move off campus. ’’I’m just now getting my reputation back! If you move off campus, you lose touch, and it seems like you don’t know ANYBODY!” Ana Fuentas, one of the few freshmen who live off campus, commutes from Sanderson. Al¬ though she has never lived on campus, she says she does not really miss the unity that campus life brings to students, because a lot of friends make the one and a half hour drive with her. Susan Ball, an elementary ed major, says, ”1 never had any in¬ tention of lining on campus. My parents have a trailer that I’m using. We just pulled it into a trailer park.” Although she some¬ times misses not having a room¬ mate, she enjoys the unrestricted freedom of living on her own. Freedom without responsibility is one reason a lot of people choose to stay on campus. Amador Ruiz agrees. ”1 like living in Mountainside because I can come in whenever I want. There would be too much responsibility involved in moving off campus.” Another big reason that stu¬ dents choose to live on campus is a social one. Byron Wright, an acco unting major says, ’’The biggest reason I wanted to live in the dorm is to socialize. I am closer to people and that helps me have a sense of school unity.” Choosing where to live may require a lot of thought and comparison. Whether to live on campus to save money or off campus to save sanity, the final decision is strictly one of personal preference.

Student Life 31 A Change in the Law Truth or Consequences Sul Ross Students Have to Adjust to the New Texas Drinking Law The controversy over Texas le¬ gal drinking age came to a semi¬ standstill Monday, September 1, 1986. Raising the drinking age from 19 to 21 went into effect at exactly 12:01 a.m. From that time forward, the possession, pur¬ chase, and or consumption of al¬ coholic beverages became illegal for anyone under the age of 21. The purpose of this law is to cut down on alcohol-related deaths. More than 250,000 peo¬ ple die from alcohol-related acci¬ dents every year. That’s one per¬ son every two minutes. Raising the drinking age is intended to cut down this average considerably. Although the controversy may have been subdued with the passing of the law, the issue cer¬ tainly has not. Everyone has heard (and probably even used) theargument ”l’m old enough to vote, go to war, and be put to death, but I can’t even buy a beer.” This worn-out argument, though logical, has been outweighed by the numerous reports of alcohol abuse by youths. According to a 1982 report by the National Institute for Alcohol Abuse, 28 percent of the teens in America have drinking problems. Another study published the same year by the University of California at Berkeley reports that 93 percent of all college stu¬ dents in our country drink alco¬ holic beverages, most of them driving off campus to do so. Whether students agree with the policy or not, the law is the law, and minors who drink must be prepared to face conse¬ quences such as imprisonment, murder, and even death. Leslie Langfitt Page 2, The Skyline, September 4, 1986 Local Clubs, like the Stetson, sponsor Minor Night to offset the restrictions of the infamous drinking law. Student Spotlight Recently, the minimum age limit for purchasing alcoholic beverages was raised to 21. What do you think the age limit should be? Why? J ’Rori Cedillo, Sophomore, Communication Major They should have kept it at 19! You see. it really doesn’t matter how you look at the situation, people are still going to drink - they ' ll find a way. It’s just like drugs-there is no age limit and of course it ' s illegal, but people (all ages) still find a way to do it. So there! Ninfa Vela, Junior Communi¬ cation Major I think it should remain 19 years old, because it’s only going to tempt students to try and get it more. Now, most of the students at Sul Ross will be considered minors. To me, if raising the age limit before, from 18 to 19, didn’t stop people from drinking, than raising it nowto21, won’teither!” Russell McGuairt, Senior, Physical Education Major “I think the age limit should be 18 years old. Because, if you are old enough to be drafted. I believe you’re old enough to drink. Any¬ way, I’ve seen a lot of teenaged kids get alcohol when I was a teen-ager, and I’m sure, if teen¬ agers today want it, they’ll find some way to get it!” Alexia Simmons, Sophomore, Theatre Major “I think that the age limit should remain at 19. No matter what the age is, everyone will still have their personal choice of drinking or not. Whether they are 12 years old or 24 years old. If someone wants alcohol, they’re going to find a way to get it.” Joe Lee, Freshman, Psychol¬ ogy Major “I think the drinking age should be 18. Because, if you are old enough to fight for your coun¬ try, then you are old enough to drink. Since the age limit is 21. many people are going to be buy¬ ing alcohol illegally. More people are going to be getting into deep trouble. If any kid wants alcohol, he can get it whether it’s legal or not. It ' s just like drugs, if kids want then, they can get them!” 32 A Change in the Law Over Hill Over Dale Sul Ross Appeal Will Prevail The Sul Ross appeal reaches both near and far. Students from Alpine, Ft. Stockton, and Ft. Da¬ vis as well as Thailand, China, and even Africa find the Sul Ross climate irresistable. Why should such diverse cul¬ tures choose to assemble in a small out-of-the-w ay kind of place like Alpine? Harvey Campbell, a senior from Houston, says, ’’Iheard about this school from a commercial on T.V., and also, I had a friend going here. I wanted to see what small town life was like. I like it! SR is a small school, so you can learn a lot.” Oye Techarwichit from Thai¬ land heard about Sul Ross from one of his cousins. When I found out I could transfer my credits from Thailand, I decided to transfer.” Foreign students make up 2 percent of the total enrollment at Sul Ross. Although not all of them heard about OF Sully from a cousin like Oye, many students’ responses came as a re¬ sult of the word-of-mouth tactic. Brothers, sisters, and friends of foreign students encourage attendance at Sul Ross. Khayal Mohammed, a Sudanese student from Africa, mentions these additional reasons for coming to SR. ’’Since I’m a geologist and the university is well equipped, no better choice could be made.’ | g] Leslie Langfitt Why Sul Ross?

Two big events, Meet the Lobos and the mobile pep rally, opened the fall sports’ season at Sul Ross. Meet the Lobos, the first pep rally, is traditionally held with Al¬ pine HighSchool’s Meet the Bucks. It took place at Jackson Field with a capacity crowd in th e stands. The SR Lobo band and the Alpine High School band alternated playing as the stands filled. The weather was warm and pleasant. Cheerleaders, coaches, and football and volleyball teams for both schools were introduced, and the cheerleaders led the crowd in cheers. The pep rally adjourned to the football practice field for the traditional watermelon feed. Wedges of watermelon, donated by Jim Thomas of the Sonic, were lined up in rows on the ground, ready for eating. The mobile pep rally was held the next week. The theme was Football Fever A Juicy Subject - Rob Sierra, Andy Prince, Mark Johnson, Rod Simpson, and Andy Reedy love their melons. ’’Stomp the Aggies” and partici¬ pants were asked to wear boots. The cheerleaders wore a different colored boot on each foot. Everyone met at Jackson Field where the Lobo cheerleaders decorated vehicles with shoe polish, streamers, and balloons. At 2:45 p.m., about 25 vehicles left Jackson Field and followed a pre-planned route through the campus. The cheerleaders led the pa¬ rade, yelling chants from the back of a truck pulling a trailer with Beef-O, a 1,000 steer, in it. The money made from raffling two sides of beef went toward SR scholarships. Cars honked and participants waved and yelled in the parade. The parade ended in Graves-Pierce parking lot, but the spirit continued throughout the season. Pam Bain Football Fever 37 ’ Blood drive Making A Deposit The El Paso Blood Services bring their suitcases and empty bags so lucky Sul Ross students can fill the blood bank. What Beef? Larry Hartwick made a wrong turn while looking for the beef and wound up talking with Gerry Morgan while donating a pint. Shocking With the many electrical cords strung everywhere, Dena Holliman could be getting a jump start instead of giving blood. Reaching the Goal of Giving 115 pints of blood donated to help with area supply Helping others can be one of the most rewarding experiences found in life. Many Sul Ross students, faculty, and staff members indirectly aided people in the surrounding areas, including parts of New Mexico, by donating blood. The United Blood Services of El Paso, the central distribution center of the area, hosts three blood drives per year, one each long semester and one during the summer. This past fall, 115 units of blood were donated, with Dr. Wayne Sheehan’s history classes giving the most. Bob Roger’s communication theatre class came in second. The Program Council, in conjunction with United Blood Services, sets a goal at the beginning of each drive. This year’s collection was slightly lower than previous sessions, but everyone is happy if the count is even close to the goal. “I’m pleased with the overall response to the blood drives,” said Maggie Miller, coordinator of Student Activities. “This is an extra service that the Sul Ross students provide to the area.”Pfcl Susan Tanner Blood Drive 39 A Blaze of Glory Homecoming Pep Rally and Bonfire Spark Excitement Homecoming The 1986 Homecoming Bonfire sparked excitement when stu¬ dents as well as Hall of Honor in¬ ductees and Sul Ross exes and their families prepared for the SRSU-Tarleton football game. Clip-n-Brand kicked off the pep rally with the traditional lighting of the bonfire. The cheerleaders pumped up the crowd as they led everyone in cheering on the football team. The band added to the celebration with the playing of the Sul Ross alma mater. Various speakers filled the night ' s agenda and enhanced the feeling of supportive unity throughout the crowd. Coaches, football players, and President Humphries spoke a few words of encouragement to spur the foot¬ ball team on to victory. The wood for totaled more than 200 loads. It was collected by competitive or¬ ganizations in an beat Clip-n-Brand collection contest. For the seventh year in a row, all efforts to come out ahead of the group failed as Clip-n-Brand took first again. Sec¬ ond place winners were Alphi Phi, and Industrial Technology placed third. Representatives from Channel 7 looked on as the glory of Sul Ross blazed on to a hopeful victo¬ ry over Tarleton.

In spite of the impending bad weather, the hard work paid off for Clip-n-Brand who took first place in the float contest. Second place went to the American Le¬ gion Auxiliary, and the Associa¬ tion of Sul Ross Animal Techni¬ cians rode away with third place. The traveling trophy was awarded to first place in addition to ribbons awarded to first, sec¬ ond, and third places. The parade, sponsored by the Student Association, kicked off at noon from the parking lot of Chute 1. It came to an end at Jackson Field just in time foreveryone to grab their umbrel¬ las and head to the football game.

Homecoming activities, however, are an exception. Not only are women welcome, but they are a big attraction,...but only during halftime. Hundreds of people sat pa¬ tiently in the rain waiting for the Homecoming Queen candidates to be announced. Fourth runner-up was Carol Lovelady, an indepen¬ dent. Cindy Acosta, sponsored by the cheerleaders, was third run¬ ner-up. Rori Cedillo, the Mask and Slipper Club candidate, was second runner-up. First runner-up was Paula Brown, sponsored by the Lady Lobo basketball team. Dena Massey, sponsored by Clip- n-Brand, was crowned queen. The Lobo Band and flag corps provided halftime entertainment, playing for the audience before the football team returned to the field for the second half of Home¬ coming 1986.

Homecoming Halftime 45 46 Program Council Events Full House Show - Sul Ross was fortunate to present the internationally known Chinese Magic Revue when the troupe had a sudden cancellation. Food and Fun — Bill Miller and free nachos entertained these students during the concert in October. Grammy Winner — Dan Peek per¬ formed hits such as “Lonely People” and “Tin Man” when he came to Sul Ross. In Harmony — Tim Malchak’s concert was entertaining to students who enjoyed relaxing to good music. No Business Like Show Business _ A Variety of Entertainment Offered The people in the Student Activities Office prove that work really can be fun. The office, which is Program Council headquarters, combines efficiency with fun and creates a remarkable mixture of student entertainment . . . and that’s before the performing artists ever reach town. The jovial atmosphere created within the Program Council realm does not stop 12 students, four faculty members, Maggie Miller and J.J. Tucker from providing the best entertainers in West Texas. The biggest hit of the fall semester was the Chinese Magic Revue. The council moved quickly when the opportunity came to provide students with this world-class program. Other entertainers included Bill Miller, Tim Malchak, and Grammy winner Dan Peek. The spring line¬ up included the ever-popular roommate game which was a fun way to get to know your roommate and win some money in the process, the Super Bowl Party, and the Annual Talent Show. The Program Council works on a committee basis with the committees being headed up by student members. The students chair all committees and review information from artists and agents. The students decide who will perform and then work on living arrangements and promotions for the artists. Any student may sit in on meetings of the Program Council. Maggie Miller appreciates the voices of the students. “We always welcome more input on what we are doing. Since the council is primarily students, they make decisions on what is brought in.”[%J— Leslie Langfitt Program Council Events 47 A Personal Approach Student Teacher Ratio Enhances Quality Education at Sul Ross Education is the backbone in any university. Having strong academic programs and a highly trained faculty willing to help students reach their educational goals sets Sul Ross in a class all its own. The personal touch of a 17 to 1 student-teacher ratio and average class sizes of 22 students enhances the commitment to quality that serves each student’s needs. The wide variety of degree programs offered includes such subject areas as business administration, fine arts, liberal arts, range animal science, and teacher education. Range animal science, teacher eduction, and geology are a few of the major areas in which Sul Ross excels. Range Animal Science is one of the largest programs here at the university; this includes the university ranch which covers 500 acres. Education is the oldest program at the university. With a degree and certification from Sul Ross, a career in teaching or school administration can be pursued at all levels. The location of Sul Ross is ideal for the study of geology. Within 200 miles of the campus may be found examples of all geologic features except glaciation. In addition to these degrees, certificate programs are offered in office occupation and vocational nursing and two-year programs include animal health technology and farrier technology.

Quality Education 49 Mother Nature 71 Fools With Sul Ross Weather Extremes Include Fog , Floods, Ice and Snow 1 ”If you don’t like the weather in West Texas...stick around. It will change.” Although everyone has heard that line--and many others similar-only those who have lived in West Texas can really appreciate it.The weather this year has definitely proved the old adage true. The part about ’’sticking around,” however, may have proved diffi¬ cult as drivers had a hard time sticking to the roads because of flooding and icy conditions. An early September flood served as an abstract reminder that Mother Nature is still in charge. On September 3, two Al¬ pine women were drowned and a Sul Ross student managed to swim her way to safety when the skies opened up, releasing a torrent of water on the whole area. The Sul Ross student, Ronda McCollum, gives her story. TAKEN FROM THE SUL ROSS SKYLINE, SEPTEMBER 11,1986 ”A couple of my friends and I were cruising around Alpine Wednesday night and noticed the weather. We said,’Gosh, we’d better go home.’ I took both friends home across the tracks and tried to go home to Sunny Glen. ’’There’s a bridge in Sunny Glen, and water had covered the road there. So, I turned around to go back and stay with the friend I’d just taken home. ”1 tried to cross the railroad tracks. The incline is steep there, and I couldn’t see the water. The first thing I knew the water went under the tires and took the car with it. The water was really strong and caught the back of the car. ”1 knew I couldn’t stay in the car. I pushed open the door with my legs and threw myself out. The water was already half way up the window of the car. ”1 let the current take me. My car went ahead of me. When the water swept into the Alpine creek, it took me under. I knew I had to swim to the surface and get to the bank. I finally caught on to the bushes right before the bridge by Avenue E. ”1 crawled out, pulled myself up with the weeds and said, ’Thank you, God.” Winter hit with the same passion and fury of the preceeding fall. The snow flurries that left Alpine wrapped in a blanket of white caused the usual ’’fender benders” and a few pain¬ fully embarassing bumps and bruises on those who chose the pedestrian form of transportation. Altogether, about 23 1 2 inches of moisture fell on this area instead of the average 15 1 2 inches, j ] Leslie Langfitt 50 The Weather Change of Scenery — Jack Frost painted Alpine white in the cold, winter months. Icy Transformation — Icy roads and blinding snow made a beautiful winter scene a treacherous drive. Let It Snow — Sul Ross students enjoy such winter activities as sledding, snow football, and snow surfing. Rainy Days — During the rainy season, drivers were warned to stay indoors when visibility was very low. Cleaning Up — A few students kept busy after the September rains when their rooms in Mountainside were flooded. The Aftermath — Many came out to sur¬ vey the damage from the flood that left Alpine submerged in of water.

Pam Bain, a junior elementary education major de¬ scribed her weekends as a time to relax and spend time with her husband Dicky. Because of busy schedules and ’energetic’ friends, most students have little time for catching up on sleep, studies, and laundry. In a world where a nap is a luxury not to be afforded by the com¬ mon student, and a day consists of 25 hours, extra time is a pre¬ cious commodity. Weekends give Sul Ross students (and faculty) that welcome break they need. Road trips, laundry, books, sports, and sleep are just a few of the many activities scheduled for any weekend. These ’essen¬ tial’ functions, saved especially for the consistantly too short, two-day break, provide students with just enough spirit to carry through to the next weekend.

Down South Going Down South Z Students are Lured by the Beauty and Romance of the Big Bend Area When Sul Ross students want a change of scenery and something exciting to do, more times than not they decide to head south. One of the favorite towns ’down south’ is Ojinaga, Mexico, usually referred to as OJ. Fun¬ seeking students first travel about 90 miles to Presidio and then cross the International Bridge to OJ. A favorite pastime here is shopping. Souvenirs, clothes, and liquor are popular items among students. The club in the Hotel Ojinaga is a great place to end the day. Another popular recreation spot is Big Bend National Park. Its unusual beauty has tagged it ’the focal point of the Chihuahuan Desert.’ Mountain climbing, hiking, and rafting are activities that keep SR students coming back. Boquillas, Mexico is located near the park. Getting to this village is an adventure in itself. After crossing the swift currents of the Rio Grande in a small boat, people ride burros a few miles into the village. A couple shops may momentarily attract visitors. Students, however, usually enjoy diving off the cliffs and swimming outside the village. For a different kind of enter¬ tainment, students go to Lajitas which is a few minutes drive from the park entrance. Dances held at an outdoor pavillion and Lajitas Trading Post are both at¬ tractions. The trading post is the home of a well-known attraction, Clay Henry--the famous beer drinking goat. £ Pam Bain Talcin ' It Easy - Terlingua offers a variety of atmospheres so students can unwind down south.

She received a $500 SR scho¬ larship along with various other gifts from local merchants. About 20 girls competed in this contest and were judged in three areas of beauty: bathing suit, evening gown and period costume.

Students’ social, personal, career, and academic interests are enhanced through the 45 different groups found in campus life. The educational and recreational values gained from these organizations are rewarding and satisfying to the student members. Of these groups, 14 belong under the academic heading. Club members are interested in the arts, sciences and professional studies. There are four governmental organizations. These clubs help govern the student body and pass on input from concerned students. There are eight established honor societies at Sul Ross. Membership is based on academic achievement, character, and leadership qualities. The fourth category of organizations are the religious clubs. Catholic, Methodist and Baptist churches sponsor groups. The final category of clubs, special interest organizations, includes 15 groups under its catch-all heading. — Susan Tanner “Last semester we held our meet¬ ings downstairs in the student cen¬ ter at 5 p.m. That didn’t last too long because everyone wanted to go eat instead of coming to the meetings. Dean Davis wanted to accommo¬ date us, so we decided to hold the meetings in the cafeteria.

Groups 79 Traditions Bar SR Bar is a Central Part of Homecoming Each year, the Student Association sponsors the university’s whitewashing of the Bar-SR-Bar. Anyone can partici¬ pate and, this year, many were encouraged to do so by the extras that could be earned in Dr. Wayne Sheehan’s history classes, Dr. Jim Case’s political science classes and Bob Rogers’ communication and theatre classes. The trail up Sul Ross hill begins between Morelock Hall and the Smith Apartments. From here everyone be¬ gan their rocky walk upward. A Jeep brought the needed brooms, buckets and whitewash material to about 70 eager workers who assembled the mops and began slinging paint across the rocks, weeds, and sometimes even feet. More paint was needed before the job was done, so the Jeep made several bumpy trips up the hill. After a couple hours of work, every¬ one piled off the mountain to clean the mops, buckets, and themselves. The Jeep even needed a good wash job after the paint bumped and splashed all over it. The freshly painted rocks were ready for the Friday night homecoming activities. The Bar-SR-Bar burned again this year. The Freshman Leadership Program reestablished this old tradition by lighting it just before the homecom¬ ing bonfire. Aluminum cans filled with kerosene and strips of cloth were placed at intervals along the white rocks. A few FLP members carried torches to the top of the hill and set the rags ablaze about 8:30 p.m. The ’’rocks” burned brightly even after the bonfire was lit. FLP members stayed up on the hill with fire extinguishers as a precaution against grass fires. The last flames finally died out about 11:30 p.m. The FLP hopes to make this spectacular event a lasting part of homecoming bonfire activities.

We just couldn’t get anything going,” Dr. Sample explains. The finished product was well worth all the time and energy that went into it. Eleven former athletes, two former coaches, and two outstanding supporters were honored October 3 during the first Hall of Honor Induction Ceremonies. The inductees include: Frank Barton, a retired superinten¬ dent of Wink Public Schools, is a 1949 graduate. He played on the undefeated 1948 football team which went to the Tangerine Bowl. He has been in public education for 37 years. Cuthbert Carll, a 1936 graduate, excelled in both football and basketball. In football, Carll played end during his tenure at Sul Ross. From 1933-1936, he served as the basketball team cap¬ tain, and in 1939 he became part of the All-Time Sul Ross Basketball Team. In 1934-35 he played on the Alamo Conference championship team. Norm Cash, a 1955 graduate, was a professional baseball player for 17 years. During his final two years as a Lobo baseball player he hit .426 and .441, then went on to hit more than 300 home runs during his professional career as a Detroit Tiger. He has held a number of records during his athletic career. As a Lobo football player, he still has the record for the most yards rushing in a season with 1,255 yards in 1954. In baseball, Cash led the Ameri¬ can League with a .361 average and 41 homeruns. In 1961 he inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame. Ray ’’Iron Man” McNeill was the first Sul Ross athlete to letter in all four sports. McNeill was given his nick¬ name by the media because of his endurance and adaptability as he played every position on the football field. He also helped many students through college with his dance bands which performed across West Texas. He graduated in 1937. Mary Jo Peppier, the only woman to have been honored in the newly es¬ tablished Hall of Honor, was a 1971 Sul Ross graduate. Her volleyball skills landed her a position on the 1964 Olympic team and the hono r of the U.S. Volleyball Association’s Player of the Year in 1967. She was instrumen¬ tal in developing the Sul Ross volley¬ ball team into a national volleyball power. Dr. Paul E. Pierce was a 1936 graduate and an NAIA Hall of Fame Inductee as well as a Sam Houston State University Hall of Fame inductee. He was an outstanding athlete as well as coach. In 1934 and 1935, Pierce was known for his overwhelming per¬ formance in the fullback position. He then returned to Sul Ross in 1946 and became the school’s winningest coach. Pierce has also served as president of the National Association of Intercolle¬ giate Athletics and a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee. John G. Prude, a 1935 graduate of Sul Ross, played on the first Sul Ross football team in 1923 as guard. He also played on conference champion¬ ship teams four years in a row. Joe R. Sanchez, the ’’toughest player to wear the Lobo uniform”, was a 1951 graduate. He played on the undefeated 1948 Tangerine Bowl Team and on conference championship teams for four years. In 1950 he was honorable mention All-Conference. Ted Scown was the first football player at Sul Ross to earn All-Ameri¬ can honors. His record of 144 points scored in one season is still standing. He played runningback on the unde¬ feated 1948 Tangerine Bowl team. He earned All-Conference honors three years in a row (1948-50) and played on conference championship teams four years in a row. He graduated from Sul Ross in 1951. Dr. Barton Warnock, after gradu¬ ating in 1937, became internationally recognized for his work in the area of the Chihuahuan Desert. Before gradua¬ tion, however, he was recognized on campus for his congeniality as well as his athletic ability. In 1937 the student body named him the Most Popular Boy. In 1936, he broke the record for the longest run from scrimmage. The 95-yard record is still held by Warnock. He was labelled the fastest runningback in Texas during his 1935- 37 football career. Drury Wood, the second football player to graduate from Sul Ross, let¬ tered four consecutive years (1923-26). He was the center on the first football team at Sul Ross. He was known for his endurance in every game as he played both offense and defense without a substitution. Dr. B.C. Graves coached his way into the Hall of Honor from 1923-1939 and in 1958. Being the first coach at Sul Ross, he established the first foot¬ ball and basketball teams. He was known for the integrity that he both practiced on the field and instilled in the players. W.H. ’’Jack” Perryman’s coaching career at Sul Ross began in 1947 and lasted until 1952 although he continued to work with the university until 1976. In 1982, he established an athletic aca¬ demic scholarship program which he continues to support. Gene Hendryx was inducted as an Outstanding Supporter. He graduated from Sul Ross in 1949. He has been known as the ’’Voice of the Last Fron¬ tier” and the ’’Voice of the Sul Ross Lobos” because of approximately half a million miles of West Texas traveling. He covered many aspects of college sports over KVLF Radio. In 1981 Hendryx was honored as a Distinguished Sul Ross Ex-Student and Alumnus Emeritus. H.L. Kokernot, 1960’s Outstanding Sponsor of Baseball in the United States, was the other Outstanding Sup¬ porter honoree. The well-known Kokernot Stadium, which he built in 1947, was, and still is, known as one of the country’s finest baseball stadiums. The induction ceremonies highlighted this year’s homecoming activities. ’’The Hall of Honor is the beginning of a great tradition honoring outstanding in¬ dividuals that should have been honored long ago,” said Dr. Chet Sample. — Courtesy of Lee Sleeper and Ray Hendryx. 84 Hall of Honor Frank Barton Class of 1949 Football Norman Cash Class of 1955 Football, Baseball Carll Cuthbert Class of 1936 Football, Basketball Dr. B.C.

Dancing Feet - Rueben Losoya shows off his moves, to the judges in the Spanish Club’s Miss Courageous Contest. Courageous Court - Last year’s 1985 Miss Courageous, Jerry Castellano, is seated with the reigning 1986 Miss Courageous, Billy Joe Perez, at the center of the contestants’ row. The Sound Of Laughter - Everyone seems to be enjoying himself, laughing and having fun at the Miss Courageous contest. 86 Miss Courageous Turning The Tables Spanish Club Sponsors Off-Beat Beauty Pageant When attending a beauty pageant, a person enters the auditorium expecting to see at least three characteristics in the contestants: beauty, charisma, and glamour . . . unless it is the Miss Courageous Pageant. Instead, the contestants at this page¬ ant stirred the audience with a magnifi¬ cent “Drag” show. The beauties first stimulated the audience with their sportswear. They attempted to walk across the stage in a graceful and unmanly style as the emcee told about each young lady’s, I mean man’s, goals, interests, and hobbies. As the pageant progressed to talent competition, each contestant amused the audience by either singing without moving her, I mean his, lips, or moving them after the words were sounded. The evening gown competition climaxed the event as each contestant again attempted to float gracefully across the stage in his girlfriend’s brand new pair of heels. The selection of the finalists followed the evening gown competition. Jerry Castellano, Miss Courageous 1985, made a surprise visit in a formal gown to present the crown to the winner. The elmination procedures began as contestants were put on the spot to answer questions about why they entered, what they learned, and what they respected most about girls who could look graceful in high heels. Billy Joe Perez, Miss Spain, walked away with the crown and title of Miss Courageous 1986. First runner-up was Brett Parker, Miss Australia. Second runner-up was Rueben Losoya, Miss Cuba. — Ronald Love New Little Miss - The yea r’s 1986 Miss Courageous winner is Billy Joe Perez, formerly known as Miss Spain.

(OUGHT TO YOU o 88 Fundraising Fundamentals Fundraising is Essential To Club Operations Establishing a bank account is fairly hard for most of us, but we might work or do odd jobs to get spending money. A club or organization does not have this option, so they must try to raise money in other ways. Many clubs sell items, but some have different ways to capitalize. The Range and Wildlife Club hosts their annual Turkey Shoot the first or second week in November. This is a one-day event which covers pistol, shotgun, rifle, and muzzle loading techniques. The Big Bend Sportsman’s Club donates the shooting range, and local businesses donate the prize turkeys. People from as far away as Ft. Stockton and Presidio come to try their luck with a gun. The money earned goes toward sponsoring student trips to the Texas State Range Management Meeting and the National Competition of Range Plant Management. The Biology Club hosted a barbecue to help fund their explorations of the Big Bend. They want the public to be aware of what is around them, so they also gave a public showing of the Chihuahuan Desert films. Another of their fund raising activities was selling biology supplies and T-shirts. The Industrial Arts Club got the dance fever when they organized a dance at the Student Union Building. Another popular event was their annu¬ al raffle. The profits were used to send students to the Regional Industrial Arts competition in Midland and the state competition in Waco. These students helped judge many of the projects shown. In their spare time, they helped represent Sul Ross by showing slides and handing out literature. One of the biggest days for fund raising activities is the annual Activity Day on the Mall sponsored by the Stu¬ dent Presidents’ Association. Many campus organizations set up booths containing items to be purchased by the students. This year’s activity day was scheduled for April 21. — Susan Tanner Fundraising 89 Trick Or Treat - Registrar employees Ramona Lucero, Michelle DeLeon, and Abigail Geiselman get into the Halloween spirit.

Dedicated Professional - Even big kids can join in the Halloween fun as Del Mathis and Barbara Valenzuela prove in the Registrar’s Office. 90 Halloween Trick Or Treat Halloween is as Much Fun for SR Students as for Area Kids Halloween is one holiday where “adults” have more fun than kids. The traditional ghosts and goblins stole the hearts and imaginations of even the oldest Sul Ross students. The campus thinned out considerably Halloween weekend, as it does every weekend. A lot of students went to Sixth Street in Austin or to the chili cook-off in Terlingua, but for those who remained, there were plenty of Halloween parties and gatherings. The Sul Ross spirit hit Baptist Student Union members, and they held a reverse trick-or-treat. Instead of going from door to door asking for hand outs, these students went door to door giving them. Everyone seemed to get into the Sul Ross “spirit” of things to celebrate the Halloween weekend. — Leslie Langfitt The Great Pumpkin - Halloween found the library when this pumpkin brought his cat and decided to check out a book of ghost stories. Heading The Gypsy Caravan - Melody Mock caught the Halloween spirit by becoming a gypsy for the day. Halloween 91 Moving Out - Handling equipment carefully is almost a daily routine for Fermin Salas, Gregorio Celaya, and Bill Northcut. All In A Day’s Work - Gregorio Betancourt and Dan Portillo Jr. work through May to help finish the revisions on the snack bar in the SUB. Stud Service - Installing interior walls takes a steady hand and precise measurements. Lucky Portillo double checks his level before perman¬ ently securing this wall. Shaping Up Ol’ Sully Physical Plant Busy Maintaining and Renovating Buildings and Grounds Maintenance at Sul Ross means a lot more than keeping the university buildings and grounds in working order . Besides cleaning the buildings; keeping plumbing, electricity, heating, and cooling systems working; and keeping the grounds mowed and clean, Physical Plant workers repair and renovate buildings and continue the landscaping of university lawns. In May, 1986, the Student Center Snack Bar was renovated to make it possible to serve all three meals to summer school students. The Mountainside Cafeteria was closed for the summer. Ths snack bar was made self-service with a cashier at the end of the line. Nachos, chicken strips, steak fingers, a salad bar and main dish specials were added to the menu. The Student Center itself was renovated, with two lounge areas with rugs, couches, and chairs added. A large television screen with television programming; and new red and gray blinds. A television room was added downstairs close to the Post Office. The Mountainside Cafeteria received a new roof, afte r weeks of waiting for the unexpected rainy season to subside. The bottom floor of the Administration Building underwent major changes with just about every office but Purchasing and Financial Aid changing places and or rearranging walls. Offices included in the juggle were News and Information, Student Publications, Personnel, Payroll, UPD, School and College Relations, Telephone Services, and the Computer Room. Landscaping projects included the continued installation of underground sprinkling systems and redoing the grounds around Graves-Pierce Gym. — Brand Staff f 92 Maintenance Maintenance 93 If The Shoe Fits — Max Williams gives a quick rasp demonstration to farrier and blacksmith stu¬ dents Brandon White (standing), James Wages, and Russell Littlefield. Horseshoeing F Unique SR Course The farrier technology course taught at Sul Ross by Max Williams gives SR students the unique opportunity to learn the proper techniques of horseshoeing. A horse’s hoof life can be lengthened or shortened with the appli¬ cation of shoes. Special corrective shoes can help heal such ailments as lamenetis (separation of the hoof wall) and quarter cracks (cracks in the hoof wall), but any shoe made or placed in¬ correctly can severely damage the hoof. The major concern when making a horseshoe is measuring for the nail hole placement. The hoof may be ’’quick¬ ened” or even split if the nail does not enter the 1 4 inch hoof wall at just the right angle. Another concern when forging a shoe is shaping it to coordi¬ nate with the hoof, especially in the heel area. Williams believes that even if a horse owner cannot shoe for himself, he should at least know if the job is done right. Professional horseshoers, at this time, do not have to be certified or licensed to practice. Many people learn to shoe for their own purposes, and farrier students at Sul Ross get good practice shoeing horses from local ranches. A class may shoe as many as 70 animals in one day on cooperating ranches.

Horseshoeing 95 Spare The Rod, Spoil The Egg Praising Parents — Deciding who had the most beautiful baby presented a real challenge to Dr. Karla Carmichael’s Human Growth and Develop¬ ment students. Education Block Course Introduces Child Care to Student Teachers ’’Which came first...?” For Dr. Karla Carmichael’s Education 3304 students, the egg came first in their lives for an entire week. During this week, each student was solely responsible for his or her very own egg baby. Students could be seen all over campus carrying their babies in everything from baskets to tupperware bowls. On the last day of the project, all of the proud parents entered their chil¬ dren in a ’’Beautiful Baby Contest.” All of the babies were displayed on the desk at the front of the classroom and on the window ledge. No one seemed to worry that the babies on the ledge would get sunburned-some did, however, mention the word ’’boiled.” During 1 the week, personalities had developed, and many babies had cho¬ sen a career. Esmerelda Rodriguez’ baby was a SRSU campus police officer (he even carried a gun). Irma Cano was proud to have her child fol¬ lowing in her footsteps as a nurse. Class members voted on ’’Most Beautiful,” ’’Most Likely to Succeed,” and several other categories. Each stu¬ dent took his her time and seemed serious about the voting. While the other parents were show¬ ing off their babies, Eddie Duarte had to admit the truth. His baby had been devoured by a huge animal. (Actually, a cat got it.) Dr. Carmichael explained the reason for this project. ’’Many students have never had to care for a baby. This project illustrates to them how much responsibility is involved in rearing a child,” she said. Caring for egg babies has become a trademark of the human growth and development class. So, be warned. For one week out of each semester, words such as egg beater, omelet, and egg¬ nog are ’’bad words.” Pam Bain Human Growth And Development Stick ‘Em Up! — Esmerelda Rodriquez displays her “Beautiful Baby” contest winner dressed as a UPD officer. Proud Mother — Parenting is a hard job, but Irma Cano must have done something because her baby was voted most talented and most likely to succeed.

These twelve years of experience paid off recently when a publishing company became interested in his work and asked him to send them at least 25 rodeo cartoons. From the 25, they will choose their favorites and publish them. Another offer came to Tim from a man out of Abilene who had seen his work and was apparently equally im¬ pressed. According to Tim, the drawings will be printed on T-shirts, coffee mugs, and bumper stickers. Al¬ though Tim Waller is not yet a house¬ hold name, the Brand staff thinks he is destined to be one.

Musical Magic Community and College Work Together on Fall Musical This past fall, a special presentation stemmed from the Theatre and Music departments. The usual summer outdoor type musical was brought indoors November 6-7, 13-14. A com¬ bined audience of 1300 people turned out to see ’’The Sound of Music,” and on the third night, the balcony was opened just to accomodate everyone. Many schools loaded buses and came to be a part of the audience. Director Dr. Ron Hubbard decided to have a fall musical with a large cast to help increase the enrollment at Sul Ross. Many town people took classes to be a part of the play. During their first two weeks of practice, everyone learned the music and how to sing the songs. From there, they spent the third week on the dances. The last four weeks were devoted to acting. The choreographer was SR student Mary Todd Boering. Alpine resident Penny Hardaway came into the production as a first-time music direc¬ tor. Hubbard was pleased with the pit orchestra which” sounded good and could play very softly when needed.” One behind the scenes switch, Hubbard said, came during the last show. About 30 minutes before curtain time, English prof Dr. Bob Bass, a German general, learned that the student who played his Nazi companion was sick and could not come. Bass was given the new part to learn and went on stage with no re¬ hearsal and played the part as if he i had learned it from the beginning. After the close of the show, Hubbard received letters and notes from people who saw the play. Many wanted him to have another musical, with votes divided between ’’South Pacific” and ’’Oklahoma.” Hubbard was very pleased with the response.

One of the most special December events at Sul Ross was the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in the Student Center. This Christmas reception for SR President Humphries united students and faculty for a night of traditional Christmas activities. The choir led in the singing of Christmas carols while everyone enjoyed the gingerbread cookies and wassail. President Humphries flipped the switch to turn on the Christmas tree lights, and there was a feeling of Christmas harmony. The ceremony marked the beginning of Christmas, everyone’s favorite holiday season. — Leslie Langfitt Young Minds - Children find many fascinating things to keep them busy as Eowen Blucher and Rene Daugherty demonstrate at the Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

The concert choir is no exception. Some are veter¬ ans returning for more direction from Dr. Rex Wilson while others seek an introduction to his musical techniques. According to Wilson, the choir con¬ sists of a variety of musical back¬ grounds. Some (students) can read music, and others have a good ear for it and pick it up quickly. He also said there are usually more females who participate, even though the ratio is fairly close. The choir performs two concerts per semester, one classical and one pop. This spring, however, the concerts were combined with an intermission to separate the two music types. The con¬ certs were held in the Main Auditorium, with no admission charge.

Entertainment Deluxe Small size does not inhibit the band’s performance The Sul Ross Marching Band may have been small this year with 26 members, but none the less, they brightened the home football games with their unique marching routines. Under the field direction of drum major Tara Cohea, the band performed at six home football games. The band also made the trip to Abilene to march at the McMurry Sul Ross game. In addition to performing at the halftime ceremonies, the band also participated in homecoming activities. The band rode a float in the homecoming parade and entertained the crowd at the bonfire. Long hours of practice are required each week for the band members to learn and polish the intricate routines performed each week. Along with daily band practice the flag corps also put in eveing practices. A unique twist this year was in the percussion section. Because of the small size of the band, Jerry Castellano had a complete trap set to play on the field. Several young helpers would rush out on the field at halftime and set up an assemblage of bass drums, snares, tom¬ toms, and cymbals. The result of this combination was a stage band sound with up-beat percussion and rich full brass sound. Hours of practice and an overall group effort helped to make the Sul Ross Marching Band an entertaining part of the halftime ceremonies at the season’s home games.

Band 107 Willing to Achieve at Sul Ross 108 109 Tough Season Nets 3-6 Record For Young Team “Every game showed improve¬ ment in some area.” —Coach Ralph Micheli The Sul Ross Lobos, who have had their share of TIAA championships lately, had a disappointing 1986 season. The young team had only 20 returning lettermen, 13 of them starters and only seven seniors. “We headed into the ’86 season optimistically but without our usual crop of veterans,” senior runningback John Lewis said. “The encouraging fact,” head football coach Ralph Micheli said, “is that we got better as the year went along. Every game showed improvement in some areas.” Coach Micheli added that to be sue cssful in this conferen¬ ce, “a team has to have mostly up¬ perclassmen. We had six to eight freshmen playing quite a bit.” The 1986 season began in August with more than 130 players trying out for the team. After a week of morning and night practices and weight training sessions, Coach Micheli and his staff weeded the hopefuls to 99. Recruits included two all-staters--one who started in the All-Star Coaches Game, plus one of Houston’s best runningbacks and a new starting quarterback. After an exhibition game with the Sul Ross junior varsity playing the University of Chihuahua, the Sul Ross varsity schedule opened at Jackson Field with 15-39 loss to Panhandle State University. “We played reasonably well on offense,” Coach Micheli said. “We rushed 150 . yards, the most SR has rushed against Panhandle. But our inexpe¬ rienced secondary hurt us; their skilled offense threw three touch¬ down passes. The secondary made a lot of mistakes.” “The result of the Panhandle game was a drop in self-confidence, as well as team confidence,” sopho¬ more linebacker James Anderson said. The 14-43 loss to Western New Mexico University came on a series of big plays by WNMU, four touchdown passes of 40 yards or more. “WNMU made two TDs in the first five minutes of the first quarter and two TDs with five minutes left in the third quarter. Other than that, it was an even game,” Coach Micheli said. Warming Up Not only do the Sul Ross Lobos go through vigorous straining, they also pull and stretch with many exercises that loosen body muscles. On The Sidelines Many players watch from off the field, waiting for a change of possession or a switch to special teams when they will play. Running With Ol’ Glory The United States flag flies high overhead as the Sul Ross Lobos enter the field during the game against Chihuahua. Football 110 Football Austin College hosted the Lobos for the TIAA opener for both teams. The Kangaroos fought off a fourth quarter challenge to take Sul Ross 23-19. “We played exceptionally well the majority of the game. There were a couple breakdowns in the secondary in the first quarter, and the defense gave up a lot of yardage, but they did keep them out of the end zone,” Coach Micheli said. “Offensively, we had two big plays brought back because of penalties.” The disappointing 6-14 homecoming loss to Tarleton and an inch of rain left Lobo spirits dampened momentarily. Two Clint Wallace field goals, were the only Lobo scores. “The defense played extremely well,” Coach Micheli said, “and the offense moved the ball well. They just couldn’t score. But is was the best game to date, with a good combination of offense and defense.” The Lobos’ first victory was the 9-5 win over Me Murry. “The defense played the best game of the season,” Micheli said. “They held McMurry to 40 yards rushing and 160 yards passing. The team played mistake-free football. It sure felt good to win the first game.” The Lobos next game was a 17-27 loss to Tarleton. “This was our best offensive showing,” Micheli said. “We had a chance for three more scores. One touchdown pass was caught out of the end zone, one was dropped, and one field goal was missed.” The 28-24 victory over arch rival Austin College was a show stopper of a game. The crowd was on its feet more of the game. According to Coach Micheli, “The offense played well;for the first time in the season they made the critical plays. They passed on a fourth down for a TD and returned a kick-off for a TD. The defense gave up less than 100 yards rushing. They sacked the quarterback a couple times.” The win was well received! The 13-23 loss to McMurry marked the low point in the Lobo season. It left Tarleton TIAA champs and Sul Ross, McMurry, and Austin College tied for second. “We were not ready emotionally to play,” Micheli said. The game the week before with AC was very emotional, and it’s tough to play that way two weeks, in a row.” The closing game of the season was the Lobo’s best, a 27-3 victory over Texas Lutheran College. “It was a nice way to end the season,” Micheli said. § Thinking Back - Sam Collins, wide receiver, re¬ members those passes he almost caught during the McMurry game as his father lends an under¬ standing ear.

As a result, the team drove away from Sherman as TIAA conference champs. Outstanding players for the 1986 season were chosen by the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Out of the four conference schools, six Lady Lobos were chosen to receive TIAA honors. The girls were nominated by the coaches and chosen by the Sports Information Directors. The girls honored during the 1986 season were Celina Carrasco, TIAA Player of the Week; Dalia Castillo, TIAA Player of the Week; Norma Sanchez, TIAA Freshman of the Year; Ceci Gamboa, TIAA Academic All-Conference; Gennie Schuller, TIAA Honorable Mention and TIAA Academic All- Conference; and Vicky Vidana, TIAA Player of the Week twice and TIAA Player of the Year. Vidana was also named NAIA All-District 8. In addition to these prestigious awards, the team members also voted on their own titles to honor fellow teammates. The first award, which went to Cheryl Morgan, was the “Most Improved” award. Gennie Schuller was given the “Hustle Award”, and Vicky Vidana was named “Best All-Around,” The awards were presented at the volleyball banquet.

They didn’t have quite the court time, but that will come. We had a better looking year than the year before. It would have been interesting to have this year’s team play last year’s team,” said Kay Whitley, who has coached the girls to nine conference championships in the past 11 years. The Lady Lobos pulled out of season play with a 12-16 record. And though the team did not qualify for district play, they are optimistic about the next season. “I felt like we had an okay season. At the end, we finally pulled together and started playing as a team. That’s when we started playing well, said team member Fonda Glover. A big encouragement for the team came with the Mid-Conference win. “At first the girls were a little apprehensive about going into conference play, but Ballet Anyone - Dalia Castillo, 12, seems flexible enough as Norma Sanchez, 26; Fonda Glover, 29; Gennie Schuller, 10; and Vicky Vidana, 22, back her.

Rodeo Coach John Mahoney belives the team has a good chance of topping last year’s ranking of third in the region. The team has not been as strong as those of past years, but Mahoney believes this is due to the loss of his more experienced intercollegiate members. Most of the team members return year after year and only a couple of “younger” participants are chosen as teammates. By having new members practice with old ones, the exprience of participating in college rodeos is gradually transferred with little change in the team’s performance. This year, however, the team had few seasoned members. “All of the team members come from a rodeo background either in high school or junior college,” said Mahoney, “but college competition is not much different from professional competition, so they have to have some college rodeo background.” With these past experiences, the stu¬ dents already have a great deal of tech¬ nique and precision. Mahoney tries to help more by increasing their confi¬ dence and strengthening their attitude rather than by teaching them how to rope or ride. According to Mahoney, having a winning attitude going into a rodeo is as important as good technique. There are six men’s events at each rodeo: bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback competition, steer wrestling, calf roping, and team roping. Each member of the six man team can enter as many events as he chooses. Points are awarded to first through fourth place winners, and these are totaled for team scores. Out Of The Chute - This ENMU cowboy watches to see if the clown is close by Just in case the bull decides to get a little rough. Rodeo Since rodeo is an intercollegiate sport, there are virtually no credit hours offered in this activity. The students practice on their own time at the RAS Center or other arenas in town. There are a limited number of stalls at the RAS stables where members can board their horses, and practice stock is kept in pens on the grounds. About a month before rodeo season, more nimals are brought in to begin intensive training. At this time, the average ten hours a week of practice is extended to prepare for the first rodeo. These events are very compatible with Range Animal Science courses, and many rodeo participants are RAS majors. There is also a good variety of students majoring in other fields such as math and education, and the program hosts a cross section of students from not only Texas but the surrounding states as well. Many of these students go into professional rodeo after they leave Sul Ross. Rodeo 123 Rodeo Queen Linda Bradley, a senior elementary education major from El Paso, was voted the 1986 Sul Ross Rodeo Queen. She shows quarter horses and com¬ petes in barrell racing. She will represent the SR Rodeo Club in June at the NIRA College National Finals Rodeo in Boseman, Mont. The competition is divided into three categories--poise, which includes attire, speeches, and an interview; per¬ sonality; and horsemanship on a horse drawn at random. Rodeo Come Rain or Shine - Darla Ehlrich sits for a spell, listening to her mother’s encouraging words about the rodeo.

Team roping is the only event that can involve both men and women. One person ropes the head, while the other is the heeler. Few women participate in this event, but when they do, the men and women practice together. Even though the men and women have differ¬ ent events and practice separately, there is little difference in their practice techniques. John Mahoney decides which girls will participate on the team before the rodeo starts. This year’s beginning fall rodeos have not been very promising, but Mahoney believes the spring will be better. Last year’s team finished fifth in the region. There are some new faces for the spring semester, and Mahoney thinks they may help anchor the team. Transfer students make up a good part of the team. In past years, many out-of-state students attended Sul Ross with the aid of rodeo scholarships. According to Mahoney, we may see fewer people from outside of Texas due to the decreased number of non¬ resident scholarships being offered. These will now be for Texas residents. —Susan Tanner Cutting Corners - Taking a sharp turn, Jamie Pierce tries to slice around the barrel as quickly as possible. It’s a Messy Job - Lisa Berry, from Eastern New Mexico State, almost couldn’t find the goat in the middle of all the mud. Splish, Splash - Kim Todd and a teammate from Tarleton State never thought they would be tak¬ ing their evening shower with a h orse. Each semester Rodeo Coach John Mahoney selects three girls to partici¬ pate on the Sul Ross women’s rodeo team. Others may enter each rodeo, but only these girls’ points are totaled up for team scores. Each girl can com¬ pete in up to four events including goat tying, barrel racing, breakaway roping, and team roping. Barrel racing has become the most popular of these events. Having a good, fast horse, able to lean well into sharp turns is the key ingredient in running the barrels. The horse must be trained to take each barrel from a different angle to stay within the racing pattern. Breakaway roping and goat tying are equivalents to the men’s calf roping events. In the goat tie, the goat must be caught, thrown to the ground, and tied by three legs. If the goat wiggles free, then the com¬ petitor gets no time. In breakaway roping, the girls rope a calf as in calf roping, but the calf is not tied. Rodeo 125 United - The Lobos spread a last little bit of encouragement before the big game.

The Lobos were ranked No. 3 out of a 10-team district last season, and Head Coach Byron Brooks, is hopeful for the coming season. “Our goal is to be over 500 and make district playoffs,” Coach Brooks said. The team earned third place in NAIA playoffs and finished with a 26-32 record last season.” The 1987 season should bring even better results.

By the end of the season, eight of the nine 9 remaining players were freshmen. With one game left to play against Tarleton, the team had a 7-18 overall record and a 3-2 conference record. According to Coach Johnny Brown, the team would “probably tie for The team had a number of injuries during the season, including torn liga¬ ments and a hurt knee. “The players are very energetic and have played hard,” Brown said. “They have made some freshmen mistakes, especially late in the game when trying to make the points to win, but I’m pleased with the team’s efforts. We have a good nucleus of players to return next year.” Lobo Jim Ruth was named TIAA Player of the Week this season for his 41 points in two games with seven assists and one steal.

Their “rebounding” enthu¬ siasm paid off in the form of a 16-3 record with three games left to play. As the final games in the 1985-1986 season were played, the Ladies began preparing for next season. They took second place with a 4-2 record in TIAA Conference play. They entered NAIA District 8 play-offs ranked fifth.They completed last season’s play with a 15-7 record and a sparked enthusiasm for the next 1986-1987 play brought a season of record-breaking wins as the Lady Lobos took charge of the court. Two Ladies, Kaye Hufstedler and Vicky Vidana, were recognized for outstand¬ ing achievements as TIAA Flayers of the Week. Vicky Vidana was also named NAIA District 8 Player of the Week for her record-breaking play this season. Vidana’s performance led to a total accumulation or more than 1,000 points scored in her basketball career which earned her the title of all-time leading scorer. She also holds the record for having the most rebounds in a career. The Ladies began this season in a blaze of glory, winning the first five straight games. They maintained their winning spirit during TIAA con¬ ference play.

Although she expects fierce competition for both the men’s and women’s teams, she feels that “we will be top contenders in both categories. The team members are a very enthusiastic and talented group.” The 1986 men’s team was 0-9 for the season, with Fritz Vogt named Aca¬ demic All-Conference. The 1986 women’s team was 3-8 overall and second in conference play. Dana Souter and Kaye Hufstedler were named Academic All-Conference. All conference flight winners were Dana Souter, third in singls; Dana Souter and Nelda Flores, second in doubles; and Kaye Hufstedler and Paula Brown, third in doubles. The 1987 men’s team is composed primarily of new players, with returning letterman Ted Leps. The women’s team members are mostly returning players.

Golf places emphasis on the amount of skill a person has rather than his strength. The golfer must be able to control the accuracy in both direction and distance to stay on the fairway and away from such traps as bunkers and water hazards. The first practice sessions concen¬ trate on technique. Each student must qualify 36 holes in three days of each week. They can play as many holes as they wish, but only the best two rounds are tallied. “This encourages them to play more,” said Coach Bob Moran. “1 believe that this year’s competition will be tougher than last year’s . . . We do have some of the same peo¬ ple playing for us this year and that is reassuring.” —Coach Bob Moran “They get more practice in and try harder. “To qualify for the team, each pros¬ pective student plays 54 holes in three days. Their scores are kept on an accu¬ mulative basis on a computer, and before the first tournament, team members are selected. The object of the game is to be the player with the lowest score, so the five students with the lowest accumulative scores become the team. Usually golfers compete against “par”, the number of strokes normally necessary to hit the ball into the hole. But during tournaments, teams com¬ pete against each other. Each player completes his round (18 holes), and the individual scores are combined to pro¬ duce a team score. The team with the lowest score wins the match. Four of last year’s tournament con¬ tenders have returned to try their aim this year. Coach Moran believes this year will be a good year for the golf team, even though the competition seems tougher. —Susan Tanner Golf Going for the Kill - Harvey Portwood lines a shot during one of the golf practices.

Team Track ooks Strong In Sprints For Track events cover a major portion of track and field contests. During these timed events, contestants race not only each other but the clock as well. Offi¬ cials determine a runner’s time by using a stop watch equipped with minutes, seconds, and hundreths of a second. ' Sometimes these fractions make the difference in determining place winners. Runners are classified as sprinters (100 yards to 200 meters), milers (one . mile), and distance runners (More than a mile). Other events make running a little more difficult. In hurdle races, runners must jump over fencelike barri¬ ers placed on the track. There are three kinds of hurdle races, high (3 l 2 foot), intermediate (3 foot), and low (2 foot) hurdles. Several team members pull together to run as one in the relay races. After each member runs his required dis¬ tance, he hands a baton (wooden or metal cylinder) to a teammate. This transaction takes place while running at top speed. The last man, called the anchor man, finishes the race. Striving to beat the clock is only one aspect involved in track and field, how¬ ever. Sometimes it’s the foot, not the second hand, that counts. In field events, winners are determined by frac¬ tions of an inch. These events are more of a test of an athletes strength and body skill than of his endurance. In the high jump and long jump, only the body muscles constitut e the driving 1987 force behind each jump. The pole vault requires a bit more accuracy and tech¬ nique to clear the bar. The discus, javelin, and shot-put all challenge the athlete’s skill and strength in various methods of throwing. The average javelin weighs around two pounds, while a shot-put usually weighs twelve. According the Coach Pete Peltzer, this year’s Sul Ross track and field team looks very strong in the sprints. Last year’s team finished third in the confer¬ ence, and a few of these players have returned for the new tryouts. Most of the students are working in the track events, but a few are trying their hand on the field. —Susan Tanner Up and Over - Isaac Fuentes can really fly high when it comes to working on his pole vaulting skills.

Leslie Langfitt Billingsley from Marfa and Ace Heating and Plumbing of Alpine. Each winner re¬ ceived a side of beef, and more than like¬ ly, a lot of heartburn. To add a little competitive spirit and boost sales, contests were held to see which organization could distribute the most tickets. In Alpine, the Alpine High School cheerleaders won $50 for their outstanding sales. In Ft. Davis, the junior high cheerleaders beat out the Ft. Davis High School cheerleaders, but turned their prize money in to Sul Ross because they felt they didn’t sell enough tickets. Beef-O, a 1,000 pound Beefmaster steer, achieved fame almost overnight when he was donat ed by a local rancher, W.T. Meriwether, to raise money for the SR scholarship fund. In just a short time, Beef-0 raised $2,900 for the fund and also provided a nice meal...or two...or ten...for the winners of the beef when a drawing was held during homecoming week. Chances were sold for $5 per ticket and the winners were announced during homecoming halftime ceremonies October 4. The two winners were Sandra Steak or Hamburger Talk of Beef-O with his T-Bones and Ribeyes quickly spread through town from people like Syl¬ via Roman (above) and Becky Mancha. win; OCTaV M 198 § • « Graduates 147 Graduates Anthony LoBue, Alpine Manuel Lucero, Alpine Dino Luna, Alpine Jere Madison, Alpine Troy Maddox, Ft.

Because sows tend to conceive soon after weaning, early weaning of pigs is now a management technique used by producers to obtain more litters per year, Burgoon said. Early weaned piglets, however, have difficulties with survival and subsequent growth. The sudden change in diet causes a decrease in feeding and a sudden re¬ duction of growth called post-weaning check. Burgoon said the response is directly related to digestive disturbances. Earlier research data has suggested that post- weaning check might be reduced by dietary supplementation. The benefits would be increased feed intake, greater weight gains and earlier arrival of hogs at market weight. A survey of the literature, Burgoon said, suggested vitamin C may help deter post-weaning growth reduction. Research on additions of glucose, saccharin and sucrose to the diet and milk-based diets reported detrimental or conflicting results. Though pigs normally do not require supplemental vitamin C, research has shown that stress may reduce plasma vitamin C in piglets. Burgoon is comparing and statistically analyzing weaning weights from the first day of weaning to day 14 for both control and test groups of early weaned piglets. He plans to identify the dietary supple¬ mental levels of vitamin C where growth response of early weaned pigs occurs. Burgoon’s research is being conducted at the swine complex on the Everett E. Turner Range Animal Science Center. He began his research in the spring with offspring from four sows. His major advi¬ sor is Dr. Del Davis, director of the Range Animal Science Center. Suey - Kevin Burgoon wonders if these little piggies are going to market, or if they are just going to cry all the way home. 148 Graduates LoBue Yu Barbara Nelson, Alpine Shonda Nelson, Alpine Maria O’Bryant, Ft.

Larron, a student employee in the Mountainside cafeteria, is not complaining. He, like many other Sul Ross students, has to support himself and his social life while going to school, so a job comes in handy quite often. A typical day for Larron includes checking meal tickets, keeping people from cutting in line, and closing down when everyone is gone...and sometimes before everyone is gone... ’’Not long ago, I accidentally locked a couple of people in the cafeteria. It was purely accidental. I thought that everyone was gone, so I locked the doors and left. They weren’t really happy about the situ¬ ation, and they sure let me know about it!” He discovered his error when he saw the students letting themselves out a side door. Larron enjoys his job most of the time, but it can get a little hectic, he explains. ’’Sometimes during a rush. I’ll get a cramp in my fingers from working the pen so hard.” Days like that seem to contradict this sophomore accounting major’s rather laid- back lifestyle.

Sometime last year a cardiovascular surgeon from Houston read in the Houston newspaper of Sul Ross’ rodeo program and decided to donate a mechanical bull he owned. The benefactor, Dr. Pedro Rubio, dona¬ ted a mechanical bull which is worth about $10,000. Sul Ross received the bull from Rubio in March. The bull is set up in the bam at the Range Animal Science Center feedlot. According to John Mahoney, assistant professor of RAS and rodeo team coach, the bucking machine has two purposes. It helps students who think they would like to compete in rodeos get a taste of what bullriding is like, and it keeps those that do compete sharp and in shape. ’’Some aspects of the mechanical bull are the same as a live bull,” Mahoney said. ”It does help to teach how to compensate for the moves of the bull and get the student in the habit of moving with the bull.” J 0 ni Hawkins Ride ’Em Cowboy - Rodeo team members Tim Waller, Todd Watkins, Jim Hilbert, and Gary Dundea, use this bucking machine with Coach John Mahoney’s supervision.

Blackman makes a stand in the world of art take a ceramics class. Since that class six years ago, Blackman’s skills have devel¬ oped into highly respected and reputable works of art. He shows his work all over Texas, usually once or twice per month. One of only two ceramic pieces accepted into the Superbowi Show in Del Rio be¬ longed to Blackman. Blackman is now looking at shows in Florida and California because of Texas’ depressed economy. ’’Being an artist is a tough profession for selling because art is the first thing the public stops buying when the economy is poor. Art is a luxu¬ ry,” Blackman said. ’’There is nothing like art, though. You are in total control and nothing else can give you such a feeling.” His work ranges from fired traditional stoneware to highly colorful decorative earthenware. Joni Hawkins Leslie Langfitt John Blackman is Sul Ross’ answer to the Leonardo da Vinci of ceramics. He is one of Sul Ross’ few ’’starving artists.” The junior art major is a professional ce¬ ramist whose works graphically express the subtle color and fierceness of the desert and mountains of the Southwest. Despite the graceful ease with which he performs, Blackman says that being an artist is not an easy job. He explained that many technical aspects are involved as well as the artistic elements. One piece of his art work is often the result of four or five ideas and most of his work pro¬ duced now started in sketches at least a year ago. Blackman packs, transports, unloads and sets up his own exhibits. His wife, Gloria, takes care of the financial arrangements. Blackman, who started out as a biology major, changed his major to art six years ago when his mother convinced him to Picturesque Pottery - Art exhibits are a major part of John Blackman’s busy schedule which takes him to all parts of Texas and soon to Florida and California.

You too, right? Weil, not Jerry Castellano. Jerry is a senior criminal justice major from a family of eight children. He is working his way through Sul Ross primarily by doing yard work. Jerry suffered from appendici¬ tis early in the fall semester and was not able to return to classes until late October, but through hard work and dedi¬ cation, he kept on top of all his classes. Castellano credits much of his success to his professors who went to great lengths to help him keep up. Robie Gold¬ en, math instructor, made two stops a week at Castellano ' s house to deliver the same lecture she gave to the rest of her intermediate algebra class and to go over Staying On Top - With the help of in¬ structors like Robie Golden, senior Jerry Castellano has managed to keep up with his studies at home. assignments. Dr. Alberto Garcia, assistant professor of English and Spanish, also saw him periodically for Spanish 3301 and made it possible for Castellano to sit the class exam at home. John Hudgens and Lee Lowry of the Criminal Justice De¬ partment offered to work with him in any way they could, and his roommate, Arturo Moreno, was also a big help. Castellano didn ' t take all this for granted, either. ’T would like to add special thanks to my professors who have gone out of their way in helping me so that I could keep up with my classes, ” he wrote in a note to The Skyline. ”1 feel this is a perfect example of the advantages a small university has over the bigger universities. 1 hope students feel as fortunate as I do to be a part of Sul Ross State. While attending I have learned that if your academic efforts are exemplified, not only will you help your¬ self, you will also find needed help from the professors as well.” Castellano’s trouble with his appendix beaan in hiah schonl hnt ho nouor trvnLr his pains very seriously. In college, the pains got worse, but Castellano still put off doing anything about them until one Sunday night when the pain got the bet¬ ter of him. His sisters, being even more stubborn than Castellano, talked his room¬ mate into taking him to the hospital. Dr. Alan Byrd of Brewster County Me¬ morial told him that his appendix had been ready to burst. Jerry was discharged from the hospital and was told to refrain from the normal activities of any college student, like driving, or going up or down stairs. Castellano says he missed playing the trap set for marching and jazz bands, but he had a lot of loyal supporters to cheer him up. Golden was one of the most loyal supporters. ’’Jerry is such a good student; he called me and said he wanted to do anything he could to make this semester count. He’s very enthusiastic and eager to make the most of his classes and is ex¬ tremely appreciative.” K arort C ' Sophomores 163 Sophomores Elaine Esparza, Monahans Delfin Espinosa, Marfa Dawn Estensen, El Paso Heidi Estrada, Alpine Ida Estrada, El Paso Vicki Estrada, Alpine John Farmer, Andrews Susan Feist, Comanche Gilbert Fierro, El Paso Nelda Flores, Alpine James Floyd, Monahans Jim Forbes, Silverton Philip Francis, Temple Lorraine Fuentes, Alpine Isac Fuentez, Ft.

Drew’s fascination with birds was discovered at an early age when his fa¬ ther, who is also an amateur birdwatcher, stimulated Drew’s interest in the natural environment. Jenkins grew up around several species of migrating birds since his home was in a natural park in Houston. From there, he developed his interest and is the only Sul Ross student and one of only two people in this area that have a federal permit to band birds, excluding waterfowl, eagles and endangered species. Jenkins’ focus is mainly on the area’s white-winged doves. He uses his backyard-a registered bird-banding station-to carry out his banding operation. ’’Sometimes I get so many birds in the yard they literally push each other into the trap. At certain times of the year I can’t chase them out of the yard.” The bands are carefully placed on the birds’ legs and display an identification number issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and an address to write to when and if the bird is found later. The recovery rate, however, is low. Al¬ though Jenkins has banded more than 400 white-winged doves, few have re¬ turned or been recovered. Other species which have been caught in Jenkins’ trap include mockingbirds, car¬ dinals, sparrows, and, believe it or not, one bat and a cat. Karen Cook Leslie Langfitt Close Encounters Senior biology ma¬ jor, Drew Jenkins, captures and bands white-winged doves in a joint effort to study their population here in Alpine.

Stockton Kevin Coffman, Tilden Faking the Lead Scholarship only one aspect of Freshman Leadership Program Each year, the Freshman Leadership Program at Sul Ross awards 20 high school seniors with the Freshman Leader¬ ship Scholarship. These students are cho¬ sen on the basis of strong academic and leadership potential. Each applicant answers a questionnaire and submits an essay to the program’s council. Three letters of recommendation from people other than family members must accom¬ pany the application. This council contacts the students and arranges for an interview. If the student is accepted, the scholarship of $400 per se¬ mester for the freshman year is awarded. These FLP members meet at least once a week to learn about the various aspects of life at Sul Ross. Numerous speakers from different parts of the campus give lectures and answer any questions members might have. Presentation topics include: ’’Origin, History, and Organiza¬ tion of SRSU,” by President Humphries; ’’Projecting the Sul Ross Image, by Dr. Vic Morgan; ’’Study Skills,” by Dr. Dave Cockrum; ’’Values Interpersonal Human Relations,” by Don Robertson; and Campus Organizations, by Maggie Miller. Members of the FLP also attend meet¬ ings of other organizations to better un¬ derstand how these programs benefit uni¬ versity students. The Student Government took time from its meeting to explain its functions on campus, representing the stu¬ dent body. Concerts, comedians, and oth¬ er public performances are scheduled by the Program Council, another of FLP’s interests. After absorbing this and more informa¬ tion about Sul Ross, Freshman Leadership participants become tour guides for pro¬ spective students and represent the school in other ways during their stay here. Many students typify Sui Ross in the outside world after graduation.

Some¬ times I can sit and think for hours, staring out the window, and nothing will come. Other times I’ll be driving down the road and an idea will come to me, and I’ll have to pull over and write it down.” Tim’s work has been published in ’’Limited Edition,” whi ch is put out by Bad Company Rodeo, and of course, in The Skyline.

Sul Ross is good, and people know it...and Jack W. Humphries is the man who keeps reminding them. Dr. Humphries, the ninth president of Sul Ross State University, has been in this position since 1984. In this time, he has been successfully representing Sul Ross. “It is not difficult to sell a quality product, and that is exactly what we are committed to achieving here at Sul Ross,” said President Humphries. For almost three years, he has provided a link to the “outside world” by representing the interests of the campus to “external constituencies” such as state officials, supportive alumni, regional support groups, the legislature, and other state agencies. Since he has come to Sul Ross, Humphries has been very active in all aspects of student life. He especially enjoys athletic activities, fine arts activities, and organizational meetings. President Humphries sums up the main reason for his campus visibility. “In my judgment, all of these activities are important since they contribute to the total learning experience. The college experience includes more than classrooms and faculty. In short, it is the total living learning environment that a student encounters on a college or university campus. For this reason, all student activities are of great importance, and when I can’t attend them all, which is totally impossible for me to do, I always feel a slight tinge of regret.” President Humphries received his B.A. from Baylor University in 1958 and his M.A. in 1962. He received his Ph.D. from Texas A M University in 1969. Dr. Jack W.

Nine building are scheduled to be demolished, approximately three buildings are to be renovated, and eight additions or completely new buildings will be constructed. All of these plans could be accelerated or delayed depending on enrollment. It is a requirement that all state universities have a master plan. This is to insure that the builds are in good shape and that the university is anticipating further growth and development. As well as being a requirement, the master plan gives the public assurance that the university is not “flying by the seat of its pants” said SR president Jack Humphries. The Sul Ross master plan states that: 1. There will be no acquisition of new land. 2. Existing square footage will be improved. 3. Existing square footage that would be too costly to renovate or repair will be eliminated. 4. The maximum utilization of space will be given. The master plan is all a part of progression, and it is meant to produce a more modern, efficient learning environment. Joni Hawkins Remodeling The Campus - Sul Ross will be getting a face lift by the year 2000 when about 20 buildings will be renovated, removed or built. Commitment To Quality - The build¬ ings here at Sul Ross still exhibit their original architectural beauty designed when the school opened in 1920.

In order to recognize these “little people”, President Jack Humphries chooses recipients for the Employee Excellence Award. This award, which is given quarterly, formally acknowledges an employee’s outstanding contributions to Sul Ross. The honorees receive $100 and a certificate. Nominations are made through the Personnel Office by faculty, staff, and administration. A committee of university personnel make recommendations from these nominations and President Humphries chooses a recipient. The first employee to be honored with this award was Sul Ross Physical Education Department secretary, Bobbie McDaniel. She has worked for the university for seventeen years and has consistently given freely her time and energy to various athletic functions beyond her regular 9-5 duties. Because of her cheerfulness and willingness in supporting the athletic department, Dr. Chet Sample nominated her for the honor. In addition to her secretarial duties with the physical education department, she also takes care of insurance claims, travel applications, and eligibility forms for university athletes for the athletic department. The second recipient was Jesus Armendariz, custodian in the Sul Ross Physical Plant. He was nominated by general services supervisor. Bill Northcut. “Jesus has worked for Sul Ross for the past 13 years, and he takes pride in being associated with the university. His quality of work is very good, and I feel the university would benefit greatly if we had more employees like Jesus, said Northcut. Jesus’s reponsibilities include keeping the second floor of the Administration Building clean. He was nominated because of the cheerful and dependable way in which he performs his duty. Both of these employees are a credit to the school and an inspiration to others. Because of their energy and their positive attitudes, they will be remembered long after this honor is forgotten. Employee Excellence Award Sul Ross President Jack Humphries awards Jesus Armendariz a certificate and $100 check as Carl Cogar watches. 182 Staff Members Bateman-Zimmer Cindy Davis Director, Housing Mary Dodson, Secretary I, Personnel Ronny Dodson, Patrolman II, UPD Karen Evans, Secretary II, Indus¬ trial Tech Sally Farrer, Secretary II, School College Relations Cheryl Fulcher, Supervisor, Tele¬ phone Services Tammy Gray, Secretary, Housing Trish-Evans Henderson, Secre¬ tary, UPD Sylvia Inman, Director, Advising Testing Reba Kneisley, Director, Food Services Tommy Kurie, Officer, UPD Mary Jo Loehle, Clerk Typist, Purchasing Mary Helen Lomax, Reference Librarian Ramona Lucero, Clerk Typist I, Registrar Tammy Martin, Campus Evange¬ lism Coordinator Maggie Miller, Coordinator, Stu¬ dent Activities Vicki Morris, Asst.

Thank you, Barton Miller Age 5” Barton also donated to the university his entire insect collection which is on display in the Warnock Science Building. Barton says that he made his generous donation because Dr. Richerson so generously donated his time and helped with the insect collection. Another reason was because Barton plans to attend Sul Ross when he gradu¬ ates from high school, which will be quite a while. In the meantime, though, Barton is sat¬ isfied just visiting the campus. Dr.Richerson, and his newly displayed in¬ sect collection. Barton Miller, a nine-year-old insect enthusiast, put his money where his heart was and donated $10 to the Biology En¬ dowment Fund. Barton and the rest of Margaret Hallford’s fourth grade class in Alpine Elementary School listened attentively as Dr. Jim Richerson, associate professor of biology at Sul Ross, delivered a biology lecture which left Barton full of awe and intrigued. In fact, he was so excited that he and his mother immediately scheduled another appointment with Dr. Richerson to satisfy his ever-growing interest in insects. Dr. Richerson was happy to oblige and provided both the Millers with a more personal, in-depth discussion on insects. Barton, after visiting Dr. Richerson on campus, generously donated $10 from his college savings account. The money was sent to Sul Ross president Dr. Jack Humphries along with this letter: ’’Dear Dr. Humphries, .1 would like to donate this $10.00 to Insect Collector Barton Miller, fourth grader in Alpine, donates his insect collection and $10 to Sul Ross after hearing Dr. Jim Richerson’s insect talk.

Each year the Piper Foundation chooses ten professors throughout colleges and universities in Texas to be recognized for their outstanding achievements in their profession. Since 1958, when the foundation was established, only one other Sul Ross faculty member has been honored with this award. In 1960, the late Dr. Clifford B. Casey, history profes¬ sor and History Department chairman, was named Piper Professor two years be¬ fore he retired. The award carries a $2,500 honorarium for each of the Piper Professors. ’’This is one of the most prestigious awards made in Texas by a private foundation recognizing excellence in teach¬ ing. Dr. Sheehan has established a reputation as an outstanding teacher dur¬ ing his tenure at Sul Ross. He is very de¬ serving of this honor,” said Sul Ross vice president for Academic Affairs, Earl Elam. Dr. Sheehan has been at Sul Ross since 1976. He also taught at Albion College in Michigan where he was voted Outstanding Professor by the student body. Dr. Sheehan holds a busy schedule. When he is not teaching, he is usually working on this committee or that council or some organization or another. He is a member of the Steering Committee for the Southern Association self-study and is chairman of the Committee on Student Development Services. He is also the faculty representative for Sul Ross for the National Association of Intercollegiate Ath¬ letics District 8. Sheehan is also very active in the com¬ munity. He is assistant chief of the Alpine Volunteer Fire Department and first vice president of the Permian Basin Fire Fight¬ ers Association. He was recognized in this area, also, when he was named Outstand¬ ing Fire Fighter by the latter group.

Range Animal Science Center sponsors wildlife symposium Anything you ever wanted to know (and more) about wildlife management could have been learned at the Sul Ross State University Range Animal Science Center in September. More than 100 area landowners, ranchers, and faculty and students from Sul Ross attended the wildlife symposium held September 18. To prepare for the symposium, ques¬ tionnaires were sent to a number of landowners in this area regarding the utili¬ zation of wildlife resources. From these questionnaires, the topics for the sympo¬ sium were chosen. The area of concentration was mainly on economic in¬ come from the management of wildlife resources. The first sessions covered the areas of wildlife management, hunting leases, liabil¬ ity insurance and potential income from other wildlife species. The speaker, Dwight Guynn, extension wildlife specialist from Uvalde, encouraged the management of javalina, muledeer, pronghorn, quail, turkey, white-winged dove and mourning dove. Another specialist, Allan McGinty with the Texas Agriculture Extension Service in Fort Stockton, concentrated on grazing management and its effects on wildlife. The area of wildlife nutrition on rangeland was covered by Larry Varner, a nutritionalist from Uvalde. Operation game theft was discussed by M. Stanley Brooks of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. In addition to speakers in specialized fields, numerous area ranchers spoke dur¬ ing the symposium. Mike Turk from Terrell County covered the area of deer herd management. Sid Harkins, also from Terrell County, discussed predator clubs. Don Hawthorne, who is the state direc¬ tor, spoke about the Texas Animal and Rodent Predator Control Service. An authentic western barbecue lunch was served for the participants in the symposium. The meal of brisket, beans, fried potatoes, camp bread, and peach cobbler was prepared by Randy Glover and Bob Dillard of Fort Davis. Door prizes which were donated by various area merchants and the Brewster-Jeff Da- vis-Terrell-Presidio Food and Agriculture Committee were given away.
