Ride for the Brand by Red Steagall His skin looked like leather He walked with a limp And talked with a slow Texas drawl. His knuckles were knotted His left thumb was gone Said a two year old stud bit it off. The kid was enthralled Kinda like in a trance Jake sensed that he had a good grip. He straightened up, hitched his pants Took a drink of cold beer Turned around with his hand on his hips. We knew he was lyin ' We watched him dally it up But there ' s no use in ruinin ' his show. It was Saturday night Before the wagon went out. He ' d cornered a new kid we ' d hired on. This ain ' t the first new hand The old man had cornered It ' s turned into Jake ' s private game. He looked over at me And said I ' m schoolin ' the boy ' bout the unwritten laws of the range. He said son, a man ' s brand Is his own special mark That says this is mine, leave it alone. So when you hire out to a man Ride for his brand And protect it like it was your own. He said Mr. Waggoner Come out here in 1903 This country was sagebrush, mesquite trees and sand. He carved him a ranch Outa blood, sweat, and guts So be proud that you ride for his brand. Ride for the Brand Ride for the Brand... He said if you hire out to string bob wire Then build him a fence Don ' t matter if it ' s three or five strands. Remember it was you Who asked for the job So don ' t bitch when you ride for this brand. But I got to thinkin ' ' bout what he had said And the more of it I understand. The more I believe We ' d be all better off If more people would ride for the brand. Mr. Waggoner don ' t Hold with complainers He ' ll fire one before he can quit. So if you don ' t like the outfit Then head down the trail Find a boss that your saddle will fit. But if you get up early And catch your own bronc Show the boss that you ' re makin ' a hand. Mr. Waggoner ' ll be there To cover yourbets As long as you ride for his brand. He said the winter I spent At the sixes We had a man at the Old Taylor camp. He was out calvin ' heifers Rode smack in the middle Of some hiders a skinnin ' a cow. Now he coulda rode off Never looked back But he just wasn ' t that kind of man. We found him in Ash Creek Shot all to hell Nocona Joe died for the brand. We know the old man Tells a windy or two Like the one about loosin ' his thumb. And Nocona was killed In the bars of Fort Worth By the demons in a bottle of rum. All of our lives are filled with influences: our parents, our friends, our experiences, even our schools help shape us and the decisions that will ef¬ fect the rest of our lives. Ride for the Brand Ride for the Brand... Parents are respected for the wisdom they pass on to us. Much of their life is spent trying to ensure we have an even better one. They have cared for us, watched us grow, laughed when we laughed and cried when we cried. As we rode for their brand, they watched over and protected Friends are people we can turn to when things are get¬ ting rough and we need someone who will listen. We pour out our feelings to these people knowing our emotions won ' t be trampled. But we also listen to their problems, lending a shoulder to cry on or a pat on the back for some¬ thing accomplished. We each ride for the other ' s brand through a shared sense of loyalty and companionship. - 3 Royal Escort — Brett Parker, president of Lobo Brigade, escorts Shari Kimberly, the 1987 Homecoming Queen candidate for the Lobo Brigade, during the halftime activities at the Homecoming Game against McMurry College.

Life gives us experience, both good and bad, that helps us grow. Learning from our mistakes and failures helps us to accept ourselves, as well as others, the way we are. Feeling the joy of love and happiness brings contentment into our lives. These happenings of life combine to shape our own special mark so that we may see how important another ' s brand is to him. These experiences will help us protect that other brand as if it were our own. Ride for the Brand Ride for the Brand... Our schools give us a very precious gift that many take for granted. Learn¬ ing, the expansion of the mind, is a truly unique gift to be cherished the rest of our lives. Many decisions made during these crucial years will change the course of our lives. But that is why we are taught to make better decisions. We must all take pride in our ability to expand our horizons. We must also be willing to work hard to achieve the goals we have set, not only for our own sakes, but for those who have set aside their time to help us find these goals.

Taking part and being able to help a group achieve its goals will become increasingly impor¬ tant as life progresses.

Ride for the Brand A ride across history with the Bar SR Bar There are calves on Normal Hill! Where is Normal Hill you ask? You are standing on top of it if you’re on the Sul Ross cam¬ pus. In its early years, this institution wasn’t a university. When it opened, the students attended Sul Ross Normal College. The name was later changed to Sul Ross State Teachers College, and, more recently, Sul -Ross State University. But during those early years, many new and wonderful things were happening. As the doors opened in the summer of 1920, people began attending class, clubs , started forming, and professors began j planning for the semester. Rolls were called, field trips were scheduled. Picnics even worked their way onto the calendar. One of these picnics played a special and very important role in the history of Sul Ross. It all began one day early in this first school year in the physical education class of Associate Professor Linda Lancaster. She and the class planned a hike to the rifle range to have a picnic. After organizing | the affair, someone decided a monogram was needed for the place cards. No one knew of a design to use, so another girl sug¬ gested that the Professor of Manual Arts, Victor J. Smith, might be of some help. Mr. Smith took the problem to his in¬ dustrial education students. After drawing several possible designs on a black board, the SR was chosen as the most repre¬ sentative. Since that time, the Bar SR Bar emblem has worked its way into almost every part of Sul Ross and has become instantly recognizable as the symbol of this univer¬ sity. And how did this insignia become so widely known? Later on in that same fall semester, a prominant Houston businessman made a gift of $510 to start a student loan fund at Sul Ross. A committee of faculty mem¬ bers decided to raise additional funds to in¬ crease the loan fund. The campaign, however, was shrouded in secrecy. All of the publicity just advertised a special meet¬ ing to be held at the college auditorium, with nothing said about the loan fund. On the afternoon of that special meeting, a parade began in the middle of downtown Alpine. Just about every citizen in Alpine came out to watch the parade and find out the purpose behind the festivities. As the parade moved further toward Sul Ross, everyone joined in to see where it would end. As they approached the auditorium, the mystery was revealed when three train¬ ing school pupils announced the beginning of the Sul Ross Loan Fund organization. Immediately people began making dona¬ tions. Pennies were given by small children, sizeable amounts came in from college classes, citizens gave money, pigs and even chickens, and local ranchers pledged to donate calves. In fact, ranchmen planned to donate so many cal¬ ves that the committee decided they should select a brand for when the cattle arrived. That’s when it_was decided that the monogrammed SR of Miss Lancaster’s P.E. class would make the perfect brand for Sul Ross. As the year progressed, with the spring semester in full swing, talk of starting a yearbook circulated around campus. Then on March 4,1921, at a special pep rally, the student body was given the official go ahead and the first BRAND became a reality. Miss Anne Ayncsworth, professor of English, suggested that the book be called the BRAND after it was decided to place the increasingly popular Bar SR Bar on the cover. Late that same year, news reached Sul Ross that the cattle donated to the Student Loan Fund would soon be arriving. To prepare for the branding of these calves, a local blacksmith was called upon to forge a branding iron with the SR, and on January 7,1922, the Bar SR Bar was registered as the cattle brand for Sul Ross Normal Col¬ lege in the Record of Marks and Brands book at the Brewster County Court House. Now all they lacked were the calves, and the senior class solved that problem. At 1:30 p.m. Saturday, January 14, the senior class led the first three calves up Normal Hill. Everyone in the group, in¬ cluding the calves, was clad in gold and white, the original school colors. When they reached the flag pole, Frank Cross, the senior class president, presented the calves to Miss Ayncsworth who accepted them on behalf of the Student Loan Fund. By the fall of 1922, 18 calves had been branded with the SR to be sold in the spring of ’23, with the proceeds going into the fund. As you can see, this school has come a long way since those first few years, but some things will never change. Sul Ross will always be the first school to have a cat¬ tle brand for its insignia. Looking Back - The 1922 BRAND depicts the first calves donated to the Sul Ross Student Loan Fund on January 14 of that same year. Ride for the Brand Campus Life Meet The Lobos - Volleyball players Fonda Glover and Tammy Walls confirm that Sul Ross is number one. Sul Ross has a way of drawing people from all kinds of backgrounds and many different places together. This wide variety of personal experiences has created a unique blend of individuals where each has contributed his own part to the heritage of Sul Ross. It is up to us to keep that spirit alive. So while we are here, let ' s all Ride for the Brand. Being There -- Clip-n-Brand members cheer on the Sul Ross Lobos at a home football game, one of the many ways the popular club supports OF Sully.

Alpine Mayor Paul Pierce, presider of the ceremonies, read the proclamation that described Sul Ross as ”our sole source of higher educational opportuni¬ ty...” With this statement the city council changed the name of Avenue D to Sul Ross Avenue and changed the colors of the street signs to gray letters on a scarlet background (Sul Ross color s). Mayor Pierce also introduced speakers including Sul Ross President Jack Humphries, State Senator Bill Sims of San Angelo, and Representative Dudley Harrison of Sanderson.

In the good ole summertime Music and melodrama highlight the 1987 summer theatre season Sul Ross Trivia The musical ’’Annie” and the melodrama ’’Lily, the Felon’s Daughter” were staged for Sul Ross summer theatre. ’’Annie,” which has also been turned into a movie, is based on the book ’’Annie” written by Thomas Meehan, with music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin. The play was especially noted for the father- daughter twosome of Steve and Phoebe Brannan of Alpine. Phoebe, a freshman at Alpine High, played Annie while her real-life father played Daddy Warbucks. Dr. Ron Hubbard, Sul Ross assistant professor of Communi¬ cation and Theatre, directed the musical. Ellen Boyd, Sul Ross assistant professor of music, was the music director, and Sul Ross student Kimberley Cross was choreographer. Celebration President Roosevelt and all the orphans attend the adoption celebration for Annie and Daddy Warbucks. ’’Annie” opened at Kokernot Outdoor Theatre July 23 with additional performances July 25, 26, 30, August 1, 2, 7, and 9. ’’Lily, the Felon’s Daughter” is a sad but silly story of an inno¬ cent Lily Fairweather and her weak but handsome sweetheart Compton, and how the villian Craven Sinclair ruined their plans for everlasting bliss. Cra¬ ven tempts Compton into for¬ gery and embezzlement, and Compton must flee from the law on the night of his betrothal to Lily. He heads west and leaves his father to go to jail for the crimes that he committed. On that same night, Lily’s father, whom everyone thought dead, returns and claims his long-lost daughter. SR students Gloria Blackman and Kenneth Ruhl were cast as Lily and Compton. Darcy Perez, SR graduate student in theatre, was director. The melodrama was present¬ ed July 10, 11,16,17,24,31 and August 8. Summer jobs in theatre in¬ cluded acting, singing, pit or¬ chestra, and crew personnel. Sul Ross students received aca¬ demic credit for participation in the productions. Students that accepted scholarship aid or em¬ ployment were required to en¬ roll in at least 3-6 hours of theatre credit. ■Alma Dominguez Did you know... The first yearbook of Sul Ross was published in 1921? This was the first year in the life of the in¬ stitution and the BRAND staff was there to cap¬ ture the memories of Sul Ross Normal College. The cover was engraved by the Southwestern Engraving Co. of Ft. Worth, and the book was printed by the San Antonio Printing Co. It con¬ tained 112 pages, and the dedication read In ap¬ preciation of those efforts that are responsible for the location of Sul Ross in the west; in gratitude for warm-hearted hospitality and friendliness; and for sympathetic interest and encouragement which made possible this annual, we dedicate our first volume of ’The Brand’ to the People of Al¬ pine. The Right To Vote -- Miss Ophelia, portrayed by Linda Little, expresses ner dis¬ satisfaction with the rule against women’s suf¬ frage.

Pool Party -- Sul Ross students enjoy loung¬ ing around the pool during their visit to Sul Ross for the summer orientation. Freshman Orientation Learning the ropes Orientation helps freshmen adjust to college life About 130 new students had the advantage of getting ac¬ quainted with Sul Ross, its fa¬ culty and Alpine by attending summer freshman orientation held in June, July, and August. Bob Hardin, director of Ad¬ missions, said that attending orientation made school easier for the students as well as for the university, because these stu¬ dents would not have to go through the registration process in August. ”It would have been a disaster if all the freshmen had to go through registration,” he said. The orientation helped stu¬ dents meet the new people they would be living and working with for the next few months. The students also met advisors for their major fields of study. ”It enables students to get more personal attention, because there is more time at orienta¬ tion ” Bob Hardin, said. The summer sessions last a day and a half while the August session is done in half a day, but all three feature the same activit¬ ies. These include a welcome ad¬ dress from Dr. Jack W. Humph¬ ries, president of SRSU, and other talks with heads of faculty and student departments. Parents were also invited to attend orientation, because, Hardin said, ”It enables parents to realize what the students are going through and get acquaint¬ ed with the university and its policies.” Parents were allowed to stay in the dorms for these vis¬ its. Alma Dominguez Freshman Orientation Break Time -- Many Sul Ross students feel it took too long to go through the registration line for the fall semester. Sul Ross Trivia Did you know... In the beginning, the Museum of the Big Bend was a bowling alley? What is now the Student Union Building was once the origi¬ nal museum. Because of the increase in stu¬ dent enrollment, due to the Vietnam War, the center was needed for a place for stu¬ dents to gather and relax. A few years passed while the museum contents sat boxed up in the bowling alley. The decision to convert the alley to the museum was made in 1968. It was only a year later that the completed museum was opened. Remnants of the bowling alley can still be found within the museum. The ramp leading down into the actual museum is supported by the gutters of the lanes and the flooring is still visible in what is a replica of a general store. Smile — Lamar Evans tells John Steger to smile for his identification photo at the end of registration. Listen Here — Duke Cooper is not too happy to hear that he has to rearrange his schedule to accomodate a full class. When, When — Students patiently await their turn to register after being put hours behind schedule because of computer problems. Registfatioh i Fall registration Hurry up and wait Long lines mark registration at beginning of fall semester Once again, registration lines were overflowing. Patience was the key ingredient for anyone who registered at the beginning of the fall semester. There were a number of stu¬ dents who were angry because of the long wait in lines. Many left and tried again at late registra¬ tion. The long, slow lines were due to both the computers not work¬ ing at all times and the people who had to rearrange their class schedules because their request¬ ed classes were full. Although there were many students waiting to be regis¬ tered, enrollment was down from last fall’s figures. There were a total of 1718 students re¬ gistered for on-campus classes, and 410 students registered for the Uvalde Study Center for the 1987 fall semester. That meant a drop of about 180 students from the same time a year ago, but de¬ spite the head count, the semes¬ ter credit hours and full time stu- dent equivalents remained about the same. Because of the low enrollment this year, new tactics will be used to recruit and retain more stu¬ dents. Dr. Vic Morgan, execu¬ tive assistant to the president, said, ”We have combined re¬ cruiting and admission func¬ tions to be more responsive to students’ needs. Once a student has been recruited, the universi¬ ty must do everything possible to retain the student.” A long time goal of the univer¬ sity is to improve the financial assistance available to students, Morgan said. ”Our goal is that no student be denied the right to attend Sul Ross because of lack of finances.” ■ JoAnna Avalos Thc One To Watch — Rodney Spradling is recruited to help mark rolls of yearbook pic¬ tures while going through the fall registration line. Blood drive Life-giving venture Blood drive draws 86 units The United Blood Services of El Paso was on the Sul Ross cam¬ pus this fall taking donations of blood to save the lives of others. Those donating were students, faculty, staff and a few members of the Alpine community. The blood drive is sponsored three times a year by the United Blood Services, the Program Council and the Student Associ¬ ation. The goal set for this semester was 150 units. Of the 98 people attempting to give blood, 86 were successful. One of the rea¬ sons suggested for fewer dona¬ tions was the fear of AIDS, Ac¬ quired Immune Deficiency Syn¬ drome, which has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. Of those giving blood, some were old-timers and others were there for the very first time. Emotions ranged from fear to excitement, and there was a lot of comradery among the donors. First-timer Paula Neely finally decided ”it wasn’t that bad!” A plaque is kept in the Student Activities Office with a record of the groups donating the most blood for each drive. This se¬ mester the first place award went to Dr. Wayne Sheehan’s history classes with a total of 30 units. The Student Association came in second with a total do¬ nation of five units, and third place went to Bob Roger’s com¬ munication classes with four units donated. ■ JoAnna Avalos Act of Friendship — Charlotte Mueller helps keep Carl Dexter occupied during his first time to give blood.

Dan Blocker got involved in acting while dating his future wife, Dolphia Parker, who was working on the stage crew for a produc¬ tion of ’’Arsenic And Old Lace?” Drama teacher Freda Powell said the First time she met Dan she had to throw him out of the school auditorium because he was heckling the students on stage while waiting for his girlfriend. But his acting desire had him back in the auditorium promising to behave himself. He behaved so well that he was asked to appear as one of the ’’bodies” buried in the cellar. Promises, Promises — A generous Sul Ross student gets his blood pressure measured to see if he is eligible to give blood. Blood Drive The Gift Of Life -- First-time don or Paula Neely decides that giving blood isn’t so bad after all. Blood Drive Students prepare Bar SR Bar for Homecoming As the painters paraded down the mountain, it was apparent eveyone had had a good time. It did seem that some people had more paint on them than the Bar SR Bar, but the hard work had paid off. At the bottom everyone was rewarded with a soda of their choice. ■ Charlotte Mueller Lugging it up, slopping it on White It Out — Sul Ross students whitewash the Bar SR Bar rocks before Homecoming. It’s A Messy Job John Nelson and Bill Cyphers mix the paint that was used to paint the Bar SR Bar. Painting and lighting the SR Preparing the rocks to light the Bar SR Bar was quite an event. For extra credit and extra fun, students and faculty hiked up the mountain to give the rocks a fresh coat of paint. All supplies were provided by money donated by Clip-n- Brand. The club donated $75 to purchase necessary paint and mops from the Physical Plant. At first, football players lugged buckets of whitewash up the hill. Then supervising professors took over command and set up an assembly line, passing the pails from person to person. Soon, mops weighted down with paint were slopped and dragged over the rocks. The afternoon was not all work and no play. After an hour of hard labor, the strain of it all began to show. Paint was splat¬ tered carelessly on other paint¬ ers. Then paint was splattered intentionally. Soon mops were being swung and the remaining puddles of paint thrown.

I’ve Got It — Chris Simpson carefully helps light the Bar SR Bar for the beginning of I lomecoming activities. Light up the night FLP kicks off homecoming activities with lighting of Bar SR Bar by the rain. They made it just as the rain started, and it was a race to the bottom of the mountain. The members returned after¬ wards to soak rags in the kero¬ sene and light the Bar SR Bar. Cindy Davis, FLP sponsor, asked Brett Rawley if he had the matches before going up the mountain, and he said yes. Once at the top, as members prepared to light the torches, they noticed something; the matches were missing. No one had them. Chris Simpson had to go back down, one more time, and get the matches. They waited for darkness to arrive. Meanwhile it was time for munchies. Where was the food? It had been left at the bot¬ tom. Rory Gesch had to go down, one more time, and get the drinks which had been left in the truck. Finally, it was time to light the Bar SR Bar. It should have been done without incident, but not with FLP members on the job. Rory Gesch had one rip-roaring experience. His pants ripped down his leg as he hurried to light the Bar SR Bar. It was not a wasted move since he later used them for FLP’s next adventure of co-sponsoring the Morelock Haunted House with RHA. ■ Charlotte Mueller Line ’Em Up -- Sul Ross students wait in line to receive mops and their orders before paint¬ ing the Bar SR Bar. Painting Lighting the Bar SR Bar It took over 100 cans and pieces of rags to light the Bar SR Bar for Homecoming.

Homecoming bonfire Damp start, fiery finish Bonfire sets Sul Ross spirits ablaze The Homecoming tradition was alive and well at Sul Ross this year. One of the main events was the bonfire. Much preparation went into building the monstrous moun¬ tain of wood. Several clubs com¬ peted in the collection of scrap lumber. The number of loads brought in was counted, and the three winning clubs collected a total of 600 loads. Clip-n-Brand won the first place ribbon with 323.5 loads. The Lobo Brigade came in a close second with 270.5 loads, and Industrial Technology put in an appear¬ ance with six loads. Members of the winning club and Queen Robyn McMains got to light the bonfire. Because of an early rainfall it took a little while for the fire to take hold, but soon the flames were sky high. The main focus of the pep ral¬ ly was the huge bonfire, but nu¬ merous activities were also oc¬ curring. The Sul Ross band Quite A Collection -- Clip-n-Brand collected top honors in the wood collection contest by gathering 323.5 loads for the bonfire. played, filling the night air with music and spirit. The SRSU cheerleaders performed and were followed by a routine where male members of the Lobo Brigade (dressed as female cheerleaders) cheered. Senior members of the football team were honored for their previous years of participations in the sport, and President Humphries gave an encouraging speech to the football team. The exciting night was lit by the SR Homecoming bonfire tradition and the hopes for a vic¬ tory over McMurry the next day. ■ Charlotte Mueller Fiery Pride -- A total of 600 loads of wood went up in flames during the Homecoming bonfire.

Sul Ross once had a live mascot? Her name was Miss Sully and she was a purebred Mex¬ ican lobo. Miss Sully came from the Ari- zona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tuscon and was with us for eight years from October 7, 1966 until she was killed on November 21, 1974. She was found that morning in con¬ vulsions. She died later that day, and an au¬ topsy revealed she was poisoned with strychnine. This incident has been one fac¬ tor that keeps Sul Ross from having a live mascot again. In the fall of 1986. the student senate tried to obtain a new wolf, but they were unable to do so because the lobo is an endangered species. Also, the wolf would have to be insured, and many people object¬ ed to keeping a wild animal in captivity. ...MM.Mllllilli Homecoming parade Up, up and away Area bands and university and community floats highlight Homecoming parade. Balloons, music, floats, and clowns all brought onlookers to¬ gether in Homecoming spirit. Club members worked long, hard hours creating floats that supported the Homecoming theme, ”Up, up, and Away in the Alps of Texas.” Several or¬ ganizations such as the Newman Club and Freshman Leadership entered floats in the parade with three floats taking top awards. A colorful hot air balloon floating over a rainbow was the big win¬ ner. Clip-n-Brand was awarded the Traveling Trophy and the first place ribbon. This is the third year in a row the club has had possession of the trophy. ”It took us about a month and 70,000 napkins to get the float ready,” Tripp Davenport, float committee chairman, said.

Robyn McMains, a freshman animal nutritution major from Grants, New Mexico, was spon¬ sored by the Freshman Leader¬ ship Program. This was the first year that FLP had sponsored a Homecoming candidate. Paula Brown, a senior physical educa¬ tion major from Andrews, was sponsored by the P.E. Majors Club. Shari Kimberly, a sopho¬ more business administration major from Rocksprings, was sponsored by the Lobo Brig ade. Each of the queen candidates re¬ ceived a red rose, and the Home¬ coming court was given mums. The Student Association sponsored the coronation activ¬ ities. The queen and her court were announced the Thursday before Homecoming so that the queen could ’’reign” over the Homecoming events which in¬ cluded lighting the bonfire. Dena Massey, 1986 Homecom¬ ing Queen, presented Robyn with the crown to end the cere¬ mony. A reception, the first to be held for a Homecoming Queen, followed the coronation of the new queen. The University Food Service served refresh¬ ments which included chicken drummetts, cookies, and punch, compliments of the Program Council. Music by the Jazz Band added to the atmosphere. ■ Alma Dominguez Homecoming Reception and Coronation mmmmm Haunted Morelock Hall Enter if you dare Haunted Morelock Hall opens for first time on Sul Ross campus Green lights in the windows, ringing telephones, music, and screams filled Morelock Hall a week before Halloween. ’’What’s happening?” Everyone wanted to know. What was happening was that the Freshman Leadership Pro¬ gram and the Residence Hall As¬ sociation decided to have a Mor¬ elock Haunted House. The pro¬ fits were to be split between the two organizations. Monty O’Neil and Carl Dex¬ ter took charge and organized the first Sul Ross haunted house. Carl said, ’’The haunted house was a great success and hopeful¬ ly there will be more in the fu¬ ture.” Costumes came from the par¬ ticipants, and most of the props were from the Art and Theatre Departments. Medusa, a butler, a chainsaw massacrer, Freddy Krueger and even a blond Elvira who collected tickets were at the haunted house. ’’Come in my victims; come in,” invited Medusa as the but¬ ler opened the door to the haunt¬ ed house. ”We shall show you a few suicides and murders that have taken place.” As the group stepped forward the doors were shut with a loud bang that al¬ lowed no retreat. A skeleton greeted everyone at the entrance as well as music from the swamp monster in the Morelock living room. Without warning, mon¬ sters would attack out of the dark. Just when everyone start¬ ed to relax, thinking it was over, the chainsaw massacrer ap¬ peared out of the dark, and the visitors ran toward the door. ■ Alma Dominguez He Lives Again — David Staples, dressed as Freddy Krueger, practices his moves before the opening of the haunted house.

RA’s for Mountainside include Carrie Richter, Sylvia Roman, Alma Leyva, Byron Wright, Brian Murphree, Willis Williams, and Johnnie Holbrooks. Each floor of the dorm has a fellow student upholding quiet and order. This is a job, and part of this job is to provide pro¬ grams for residents. Each RA, to acquire points to be rehired, must come up with two educational programs. Some such programs have dealt with subjects such as rape and abortion, science (big horn sheep of the Trans Pecos area), and politics (New Germany). Discussions on study habits and how to buy a car have also come up. In addition to the two educa¬ tional programs, each floor monitor provides an evening of entertainment for fun and or profit. The ping pong tourna¬ ment had both; cash prizes were awarded to the top finalists. The RA’s were also responsible for Sul Ross Sundae. Movies with refreshments is another source of entertainment for dorm mem¬ bers. Backing from the Program Council provides refreshments. ”We are given a certain amount of money with which to buy re¬ freshments. Some of us have put our money together to have a dance,” Carrie Richter said. These programs are held on week nights to avoid conflicting events. ■ Charlotte Mueller Dish It Out -- Jose Cervantez decides which flavor of ice cream to get as Sylvia Roman and Carrie Richter serve toppings.

Ross was born in Iowa in 1838 but moved to Texas that next year. He was appointed captain of the Texas Rangers in 1858 by Governor Houston but resigned the position at the outbreak of the Civil War. He later became a Confederate Brigadier General and headed the famed Ross’ Texas Brigade in several of his 135 engagements. After the war, he returned to Texas where he served as the sheriff of McClennan County. In 1875 Ross was a member of the Constitutional Convention. He was elected state senator in 1880 and served as the governor of Texas from 1887 until 1891. On February 1, 1891, he filled the office of the President of Texas A M College.

Sul Ross Trivia Did you know... 1948 was the only year SR played a national bowl game? It was the most impressive year in the history of Sul Ross football. The Lo- bos had a total of 431 points against their opponent’s 113. The 1948 Lobos were unde¬ feated. They began an 18-game winning streak which was topped by two conference championships and a trip to Florida’s Tan¬ gerine Bowl. The team was led by Coach Paul E. Pierce. The Lobos were the only un¬ beaten and untied team in Texas during the 1948 football season. They were also among the 26 unbeaten and untied collgiate foot¬ ball teams in the nation. The Lobos played against the Murray State (Kentucky) Thor¬ oughbreds in the bowl game to a 21-21 tie. Halfback TedScown was the nation’s lead¬ ing collegiate scorer.

This year again, it was a successful show, thanks to the performers, mistress of ceremo¬ nies J.J. Tucker, producer Val Jimenez, and Program Council members. The talent ranged from music to skits to dance routines. Some of the skits were the old tried and true skits familiar to all, oth¬ ers like the FLP rap group and a FLP version of Saturday Night Live’s Church Chat were more modern skits. Three students sang and accompanied them¬ selves on the guitar, and one played a piano medley. There were two dance routines. First, second, third and show¬ manship awards were selected by a panel of judges. Vicki Mor¬ ris took the first place trophy and $ 150 for her piano medley. New Order, the dance team of Rene Stacey and Kristi Hooker, took second place and $100 for their jazz dance routine. Their black and turquoise dance out¬ fits added to the excitement of the routine. Clinton Wallace, who claims he didn’t know he could play and sing either,went home with the third place trophy and $75. His singing and guitar playing had the audience on their feet singin’ along. The showmanship award went to Andy Bush, Kristi Meeks, and Tom Kerley for their Church Chat skit. They received a plaque and $50 for their ef¬ forts. ■ JoAnna Avalos Program Council Activities Ride ’Em Cowgirl -- Sophomore Dena Mas¬ sey participates in the steer riding event to rep¬ resent the Clip-n-Brand Club.

Although it was a dusty day, many participants as well as spectators covered the RAS are¬ na as they cheered on club mem¬ bers fighting for first place. Among the many events, there was the rescue race where one member on horseback rode to the other end and picked up a rider off the top of a barrel and headed back to cross the line. There was goat tying where a member on hoseback rode to a goat and tied three of its legs, and calf dressing where two peo¬ ple had to dress a calf in panties and a garbage bag shirt. When all the dust and dirt cleared, the Hammer and Anvil Club found they had first place in the club competition. Faculty teams took first and third in competition with the adminis¬ trative teams.

It started with the traditional fight between the freshman and sophomore classes to run their respective flag up the pole. The sophomores cheated by putting their flag up during the night. The fairness of such action was disputed by the freshmen because it did not show superior strength. That afternoon the sophomores or¬ dered everyone up the mountain for a new challenge. They stacked the rocks on the Bar SR Bar outline, designed by V.J. Smith. The next fall, October 1925, the tradition of whitewashing the rocks began as part of the Homecoming activities.

No, I think I’ll stay and take a few more classes.” This statement could be heard from several people around the campus at the close of the 1987 spring semester. Shorter sum¬ mer terms attract a wide range of students, all for various reasons. ’’Going to summer school will let me get out early,” said Chad Weldon, junior. ”It was also a good way for me to get off aca¬ demic probation. My professors and friends helped me do that.” Many people attend classes during the summer so they can graduate early, but some gradu¬ ating high school seniors use summer school as an introduc¬ tion to college. ’’The first time I came to summer school, I just wanted to try out Sul Ross,” freshman Stacy Lesikar said. ”1 came the second time just be¬ cause I like it. The people who attend summer sessions want to be here, and they really care.” Summer terms also provide teachers and older students with a chance to get their masters or teaching certificates. For some older students, taking summer classes lessens the course load for long semesters. Graduate student Clay Scott noted that ’’Upperclassmen may find they need 23-27 hours to graduate. They go to summer school just to lighten their course load for the fall.” Looking It Over - Emily King and Dannes Boyd go through children’s books at the Al¬ pine public library during a summer education course. Some students must take sum¬ mer classes to complete their de¬ gree plan. Students seeking an associate degree in Animal Health Technology must com¬ plete the Practicum in Veterin¬ ary Assistance course which is offered only in the summer. Geology majors must take Field Geology, another summer course, to receive their degree. ’’Field camp is usually taken be¬ tween the junior and senior year,” senior geology major Greg Glewwe said. ”It’s a neat experience. You apply everyth¬ ing you have learned in the class¬ room while being out in the field.” Some students take special elective classes that are offered only during the summer. Some¬ times these count toward their degree. These courses include the Desert Ecology and Plant Taxonomy biology classes and a visiting artist who teaches an art studio class.

Michael Powell, chair¬ man of the Biology Department; Dr. Richard Hilsenbeck, assis¬ tant professor of biology; and Rick McClaren, a grape industry representative from the vine¬ yard in Fort Davis were in¬ volved in one of the newest classes offered at Sul Ross this year. The class is Viticulture and Enology, a class in winemaking made up of nine biology gradu¬ ate students. The students learned about the culture of grapevines (viti¬ culture) and the biochemistry of winemaking (enology) by actual¬ ly picking grapes and making wine at the Blue Mountain Vine¬ yard near Fort Davis. The course included both classroom studies and field¬ work. ”We were very able to work at the Hilsenbeck said. ’’Because of the late freeze this year, the Blue Mountain Vineyard did not yield the large crop that was ex¬ pected, and the owners did not think it was commercially profi¬ table to harvest many of the grape varieties this fall. There¬ fore, they offered literally tons of grapes to the viticulture class.” The decision to offer was made by the Sul Ross ministration, because Texans are becoming active in wine¬ making, and grapes grow well in this area. ’’The Davis Mountains have been noted by Texas A M Uni¬ versity as being the premier area for grape growing in the state,” Hilsenbeck said. Sul Ross is the only Texas university which of¬ fers a course in winemaking and enology. Future plans are to establish a vineyard on campus at the Range Animal Science Center. There are also plans to study and evaluate the root stocks of 14 species of grape native to Texas.

The ad¬ visor could type in the schedule, and students could go to Cash¬ ier’s to pay. ”To do this, we need 16-13 computers tied into the comput¬ er,” Brown said. Another proposed registration plan includes setting up a com¬ puter for each department in Graves-Pierce. Students would find the department of their ma¬ jor and enter their schedules into the main computer. This way, if a class closed, students would have immediate advisement. Long range plans for the com¬ puter include the renovation of the old gym so all computer labs could be centralized. ”We would also like to add a couple more labs with one primarily for tuto¬ rial, testing, and advisement,” Brown said. The other lab would be devot¬ ed to computer graphics used by industrial technology, business, and art majors. ”We must rea¬ lize the power of the computer,” Brown added. ”It can do many things people are not aware of.” Susan Tanner The Age Of The Computer Lab — Mazie Will’s word processing class receives hands on experience during their computer lab train¬ ing. Computations — Bob Ward knows the value of the computer lab and uses it in his spare time to compute statistics. Sul Ross is turning to the world of the computer. The en¬ tire university is becoming fa¬ miliar with the IBM Sys tem 36. With this on-line computer sys¬ tem becoming available, plans are to speed up registration. Dr. Ray Brown, vice president for Academic Affairs, said ’’Right now, we are trying to phase out all the computers in the various departments and re¬ place them with IBM compati¬ ble computers.” This will allow student records and degree plans to be at the advisor’s fingertips, and when registrations is in pro¬ gress, students could go to the department of their major in¬ Computerization of SR Computerization of SR The shape of things to come Conference on Hispanics expresses need for higher education Robie Golden Math Department Q.

When you are a minority, you are outside, not in touch.” He also expressed his concern over the fact that the numbers of His¬ panic students have become more important than the indi¬ viduals. Escobedo said, ’’The time for talk has passed; the time for ac¬ tion is here. Young people who have a dream of a glorious future and swear to accomplish this dream will gain an education, and they will begin and continue to make their presence known.” Paula Neely Alma Dominguez Looking Back — Before working on his Ph.D. at the University of California, Richard Rodriguez received a masters from Columbia University and a bachelors from Stanford University. Autographs --Richard Rodriguez signs autographs in his book Hunger of Memory after his talk at the Conference on Hispanics and Higher Education October 15. A higher education is not only a dream but a must with today’s advancing technology, and most Hispanics are not getting a high¬ er education. Hispanics make up the youngest and fastest growing minority in the United States, and Sul Ross is expected to have a Hispanic population of 64 per¬ cent by the year 2,000. The problem was discussed at the Conference on Hispanics and Higher Education, funded in part by a U.S. Department of Education grant and a grant from the Potts and Sibley Foun¬ dation of Midland. Speakers at the seven sessions included Alfonso Lopez-Vas- quez, assistant to the dean of en¬ gineering at Texas A I Univer¬ sity; Ruben Martinez of the So¬ ciology Department at the University of Colorado at Colo¬ rado Springs; Maria Garza-Lu- beck and Nancy Feyl Chavkin of the Southwest Educational De¬ velopment Laboratory in Aus¬ tin; and Ruben M.

The program has become the major source of vo¬ cational nurses in the Big Bend area. The program helps prepare students for the national exam which is taken at the state level to certify them as Licensed Vo¬ cational Nurses. The program, which is accre¬ dited by the State Board of Vo¬ cational Nurse Examiners, is of¬ fered through the Education De¬ partment at Sul Ross. Classes are held at Sul Ross and clinical training is conducted at the Brewster Memorial Hospital in Alpine. Students who qualify can be either male or female with a high school diploma or the equiva¬ lent (GED), must be in good health, and must take a general entrance exam. The general exam is composed of math, vo¬ cabulary, reading, and science. Once an applicant has passed all of the above, he she has a per¬ sonal interview with Mrs. Bur¬ ton. The final step for admit¬ tance is approval from the Voca¬ tional Nursing Admissions Committee. The training period is from August to August with a total of 1,736 hours of training 624 Something Different — Arlene Gonzales tries a different type of stethoscope while Marvie Burton, R.N. helps Yolanda Morales and Theresa Bailey with the traditional scope.

Students learn how to prevent illness by concentrat¬ ing on how to be and stay well. ”We want the LVNs to practice what they preach to their pa¬ tients, such as how to make themselves well.” Self esteem is expected of all the students. ”We want the stu¬ dents to graduate from the Voca¬ tional Program knowing that they are someone and that they are able to help others.” JoAnna Avalos Vocational Nursing Program Capping off the year 83 graduate in the December class of 1987 Eighty three Sul Ross students received degrees in graduation ceremonies Saturday, December 16. Students, faculty, family and friends gathered in the Graves- Pierce Building to watch the commencement exercises. Jeff Wentworth, a member of the Board of Regents, Texas State University System, was the keynote speaker. ”1 was too nervous to remem¬ ber what the speaker discussed,” Yvonne Voorhees said. ’’The whole ceremony went by so fast.” She said her involvement in a sorority had helped her get through the difficult times. Yvonne was named to Who’s Who this year and was named to the Dean’s List. The fall semes¬ ter was the most difficult be¬ cause of the birth of her daugh¬ ter and graduation itself. Many of the Sul Ross gradu¬ ates were ready to pursue avail¬ able job opportunities, but a number chose to stay and work on graduate degrees. Many of the students who chose to earn advanced degrees are residents of Alpine such as Jeffery Humphries. He completed his masters in Business Administra¬ tion and General Business in December. Lamar M. Evans earned his bachelors degree in physical education in December, Mickey Dart received his bachelors in animal health management, and Erik Wash received a bachelors in agri-business. A Big Step — Dr. William Daugherty, dean of the School of Professional Studies, presents the master’s hood to Jeff Humphries.

All three graduation ceremo¬ nies in May, August, and De¬ cember are treated with equal pomp and circumstance at Sul Ross. The students are adorned with caps, gowns, and tassles, and the faculty attend the cere¬ monies in the gowns of the uni¬ versity from which they received their highest degree. Students graduate with high expectations of job opportunites and their upcoming life in the ’’real world.” They will look back upon and use what they learned at Sul Ross for years to come.

Quite An Accomplishment - Entering fresh¬ men students await presentation of their scholarships at summer orientation. Leaders of the pack The Freshman Leadership Program provides 20 scholarships for begin¬ ning freshmen who show strong aca¬ demic and leadership potential through achievements and involve¬ ments in high school. Cindy Davis, FLP sponsor, said, ’’This is my third year in charge of FLP, and this is one of the most exciting groups I’ve had. Everyone comes from different back¬ grounds and is unique; yet, everyone has already become a leader and is involved in Sul Ross activities.” Members were involved in the stu¬ dent senate, were officers of activity and academic groups, and achieved academic excellence. This was the first year the group nominated a Homecoming Queen candidate, Ro¬ byn McMains. Andy Bush, campaign manager said, ”It was very hard to get up at two in the morning and put fly¬ ers with Robyn’s picture on all the cars on campus.” Robyn was also tak¬ en to the dorms and introduced to the other students. The FLP met once a week and heard from various speakers from dif¬ ferent parts of the campus. The lec¬ tures were followed by question and answer sessions. Presentations were given by Bob Rogers, Communica¬ tions and Theatre Department, on ’’Public Speaking;” Don Robertson, director of Counseling Services, on ’’Values Interpersonal Human Rela¬ tions;” and Dr. Chet Sample, chair¬ man of the Physical Education De¬ partment and athletic director, on ’’Health and the College Student.” Mrs. Davis had tried changes in the last two years which did not work out. This year, she said, has been different. ”1 wanted the students, as a group, to be involved in more than just the weekly meetings. I wanted them in¬ volved through participation in our school and community activities.” Some activities included a rafting trip on the Rio Grande, lighting of the Bar SR Bar and taking pets to the nursing home. Returning sophomore scholarships of $500 per semester were also offered to one woman and man who showed strong leadership and academic abili¬ ties their freshman year. The woman’s scholarship is provided by the Sul Ross Women’s Organization. The FLP is supported by the gen¬ eral scholarship fund and the Henry Richardson-John Newell-Bill Sohl Scholarship Endowment. This en¬ dowment was established in 1987. • Alma Dominguez Freshman Leadership FLP Alma Dominguez Comstock Melinda Garland Sugarland Rory Gesch San Angelo Michael Glaze Ozona Robert Gonzales Marathon Elizabeth Gray El Paso Suzanne Hilton Alpine Kelly Johnson Pinon, N.M.

Many times this includes hosting programs, taking trips, and just plain fellowship. Campus organizations help unite students and faculty alike by bringing them together to Ride for the Brand.

The stands at Jackson Field were packed with fans ex¬ cited to meet this year’s athletes and get another year of sports competitions underway. Introductions were made for all the members of both volley¬ ball teams, both football teams, and all the coaches for Sul Ross and Alpine High School. The players were introduced one at a time with name, team number, position played, and hometown, running onto the football field to be cheered by the crowd. The Sul Ross cheerleaders and the Lobo mascot along with the AHS cheerleaders and mascot Belvedeer met the crowd and led them in cheers. The tone for the pep rally was set by the Lobo Marching Band and the Fighting Buck Band. The bands took turns showing off their skills and playing the school fight songs. The pep rally ended with the annual watermelon feed. Slices of watermelon provided by Jim Thomas of the Sonic Drive-In were spread out on the football practice field, and the crowd and athletes adjourned to mingle and eat watermelon.

This year on October 30, ev¬ eryone met at Jackson Field at about 4 p.m. to decorate cars. Cheerleaders helped trim the ve¬ hicles using shoe polish, stream¬ ers, and balloons. The parade drove around the Sul Ross cam¬ pus led by the enthusiastic cheerleaders and about 10 vehi¬ cles following behind with horns honking and passengers yelling. The participants really got into the spirit of the parade and stood through sun roofs or hung out of windows waving, smiling, and even blowing kisses. ’’There weren’t very many people around,” Terri Determan said, ”so they missed my smiling face. That’s too bad, but I’m glad they didn’t see me blowing kisses.” The parade ended in the park¬ ing lot of the Graves-Pierce Building with the participants of the mobile pep rally feeling opti¬ mistic about the upcoming game with Tarleton. Unfortunately, Sul Ross lost the game 16-20, but the excitement and spirit of the rally remained a fond mem¬ ory with the participants.

Bigger, better band thrills audiences The Sul Ross marching band increased from 26 members last year to more than 60 members this year, thanks to John Far- aone, the new director of bands at Sul Ross. Faraone was hired in the summer and was able to recruit a band that thrilled foot¬ ball audiences with their half¬ time shows and served as the major spirit group on campus. With the assistance of drum major Vicki Morris, the band learned new routines and added masks to the Halloween routine, surfing to ’’Hawaii Five O” mu- ifp sic, and a fiddler for one perfor¬ mance. The band members put in long hours of practice on the field and in the band room to look good and also sound good. ’’The new spirit and support of the fans made us that much more willing to work,” baritone player Mona Spies said. ’’Be¬ cause of the extra effort put forth, the band has been able to produce a more impressive sound.” The band was a major sup¬ porter of the football team in Jackson Field and also traveled to the McMurry game in Abilene to cheer them on.

But for volunteers in the Alpine Volunteer Fire De¬ partment, it’s a start. New members to the depart¬ ment are placed on a three month probationary period be¬ fore they are voted into full membership. Many who enter the fire department have never served before, though a few were volunteers or worked in other cities. Among other duties, each fire¬ fighter is certified in approxi¬ mately 27 different categories ranging from management to personal relations and from haz¬ ardous materials to airplane fires. Members require hours to achieve their basic, intermedi¬ ate, and advanced training in each subject. ’’These training sessions are designed to ensure that fire- Rat Race -- Volunteer firefighters practice going into a burning house so as not to get dis¬ oriented while in the house.

At least three hours of ev¬ ery week are taken away from studies, families, and personal time to attend the training ses¬ sions. And when the beepers go off, whatever hour it is, you have to get up and go right then!” Often these pagers can be heard throughout classrooms all over the Sul Ross campus. Stu¬ dents, faculty, and other em¬ ployees of Sul Ross make up about 50 percent of the fire de¬ partment volunteers. These in¬ clude the fire marshal who is Dr. Ernest Reesing, associate profes¬ sor of RAS and the department’s only woman volunteer, sopho¬ more Cheryl Brock. Senior Ro¬ lando Cedillo, an honorary member of the department, re¬ cords many of their emergencies on film for the State Firemen and Fire Marshals Association magazine, ’’Texas Fireman,” as well as for his own portfolio. These and other volunteers in the deparment play an impor¬ tant role in this community and the surrounding areas. This fire department responds mostly to calls within a 30-mile radius, but they have fought a few fires as far away as Study Butte. Last year 102 fires were re¬ ported. Most of these were small grass fires, but some were struc¬ tures and autos. No real major losses resulted from these fires.

The Program Council, under the direction of Maggie Miller, is made up of a group of SR people eager to provide year round en¬ tertainment for the campus. They try to schedule a variety of events with something to please everyone. The first event was the annual Sul Ross Sundae. The afternoon was spent on the Mountainside lawn and was a great way to see old friends and make new ones. There were frisbees, football, volleyball and even a water slide, and plenty of ice cream to eat when the hungries hit. C.S.N. Broadcast documen- tries were shown on subjects ranging from ’’American For¬ eign Policy” to ’’Drugs, Where Are We?”giving viewers a better prospective on world issues. Concerts were popular events. Roger Harris was the first to hit the campus. His concert fea¬ tured free jalepenos for those at¬ tending. Bob Fellows brought magic, ESP, mind control, and levitation to the SR stage. Student participation events included the annual Talent show and the Roommate Game. Stu¬ dents also tried their hand at gambling in the Program Coun¬ cil’s version of the Louisiana Downs called ”A Night at the Races” and ’’Casino Royale” which was set up to look like a Las Vegas casino. Play money was used and could be cashed in for tickets used in a drawing for gifts such as VCR’s, telephones, and stereos. JoAnna Avalos Another Houdini — Bob Fellows successful¬ ly frees himself after being tied to his chair by members of his audience.

For the fun of it Intramurals provide chance for students to have fun La Mafia, I No Care, and Des- modes were not names of music groups but of flag football teams. Although no girls signed up, flag football was the most popular intramural sport at Sul Ross this year. Basketball, volleyball, and softball were also popular. Each team captain was responsible for recruiting his team, and could only play those people listed on his team roster. Each member of the winning team in each sport received a trophy. All-star tro¬ phies were also awarded. Intramurals provided a chance for students to get to¬ gether and have fun. The teams were divided into boys, girls, and co-ed teams. The flag foot¬ ball teams met at Jackson Field Monday through Thursday at 6 p.m. The four teams with the best win-loss records made it to the play-offs. They were Coaches One, Coaches Two, I No Care, and Desmodes this year. Coaches One came out on top. Basketball and volleyball games were played at Graves- Pierce while the softball games were played on the track infield. Dr. Chet Sample was ’’the big man” in charge, with a lot of help from student coach Andy DuBose. Referees for the games were students on the work-study program working for the Athle¬ tic Department.

Miss Mexico will dance to ’I Want to Dance with Somebody Who Loves Me’ by Whitney Hous¬ ton.” And off she, sorry, he danced, across the stage and into first place in the Miss Coura¬ geous Pageant. The pageant started as a ’’spoof’ on beauty pageants and has continued as a popular SR event for four years. Categories judged include sportswear, tal¬ ent, and evening wear. Dr. Adal- berto Garcia, Spanish Club ad¬ visor and master of ceremonies all four years, said that the talent segment has been the ’’most fun.” Contestants have to bring their own costumes (usually bor¬ rowed from girl friends) and co¬ ordinate their own routines. Since most of this year’s contes¬ tants were from the drama de- parment, they borrowed cos¬ tumes from there.

Last year’s reigning queen and runner-up were not able to at¬ tend this year’s ceremony, so Jesse Montoya, last year’s Miss Mexico, crowned the 1988 Miss Courageous winner. A panel of three judges, including Dr. By¬ ron Brooks and Dr. Jim Case, presided over the contest. As Dr. Garcia said, ’’Little ac¬ cidents are bound to happen.” One such accident happened as last year’s Miss Courageous stand-in gave her, sorry, his fare¬ well speech and crowned the new queen-his dress kept falling off.

Some rounds were reserved for women and children, except shotgun, if a sufficient number attended the shoot. Many people came from out of town to participate in the yearly event. The shoot, held at the Big Bend Sportsman’s Club Rifle Range, attracts occasional shooters as well as shooting club members. Dr. James Nelson, a sponsor of the Range and Wild¬ life Club, said he would like to see more Sul Ross students par¬ ticipate. ”1 believe they don’t want to try to compete against shooting club members. We’re trying to encourage them to get ten people together to buy their tickets in advance and fill a round,” Nelson said. The money raised at the Tur¬ key Shoot helps send students to the state Range Management Convention and helps the Plant Identification Team go to its na¬ tional meeting. Susan Tanner Range and Wildlife Qub Turkey Shoot Cowpokes and cowpoets Texas cowtown holds annual Cowboy Poetry Gathering The cowboy’s point of view...an interesting perspec¬ tive. Have you ever wondered what a cowboy thinks about when he’s ou t in God’s country, completely alone, with no other people around? Well, that’s what the Cowboy Poetry Gathering is all about. It began in a little town in northern Nevada called Elko. This is the home of the national Cowboy Poetry Gathering. Cowboys and cowgirls from the many different states are invited to attend each year. These poets were encouraged to start state gatherings in their home states. Thus began the annual Texas Cowboy Poetry Gathering in March of 1987. Barney Nelson, along with her husband Joel, founded the Tex¬ as gathering after attending the one in Elko. ”We decided Alpine would be a good place to hold the gathering because it’s the town with the highest concentra¬ tion of cowboys,” Mrs. Nelson said. Being situated between Abilene, El Paso, San Angelo, and the Panhandle makes Al¬ pine ’’the cowtown of Texas” lo¬ cated in the middle of the state’s ’’prime cattle country,” she commented. This makes West Texas the ideal area since the gathering is made up of people who make their living with cattle. Cowboy songs and poetry have become a folk tradition. These people have always had to entertain themselves. The men as well as the women of these cattle ranges have learned to adapt to this rather isolated industry. Cowboy gatherings have pro¬ vided a way for the public to hear the poetry, music, and stor¬ ies that have evolved from this unique way of life. People can actually sit around the campfire and listen or even join in the ac¬ tivities. But the campfire is only a small part of a gathering. Sessions include Traditional Cowboy Poetry, Old Texas Poet¬ ry, a Cowboy Dancing Work¬ shop, Story Tellin’, Women on the Ranch, and Take-Your-Tum Cowbo y Music. This year’s gathering was planned for early March and was greatly anticipated by Sul Ross and the surrounding area.

Cowboy Poetry Gathering Chute For The Top — A Sul Ross cowboy prac¬ tices bull riding for an upcoming competition. Sometimes it ' s tough to be a part of the team, but at Sul Ross, that ' s the name of the game. It takes each in¬ dividual to achieve that team effort whether it is football, volleyball, rodeo, or any other sport. When athletes are willing to put forth their best, the hard work pays off. So no matter how tough it gets out on the field, the court, or in the arena, we all Ride for the Brand. Competing As One -- Darren Taylor, Freddie Tucker, and Frances Jones take to the bench after a strenuous play. Ride for the Brand Ride for the Brand The Sul Ross Lobos closed out the 1987 football season ranked second place in the Texas Intercollegiate Ath¬ letic Association and 20th in the na¬ tion with runningback Oliver Brooks named TIAA Freshman of the Year, a sharp contrast to the preseason pre¬ diction that the Lobos would be last in the conference. ”We were in contention for the con¬ ference championship and a playoff berth up to the last game,” Head Foot¬ ball Coach Ralph Micheli said. The Lobos opened their season with a 14-0 victory over Western New Mexico University. ’’This was the first shut out for the Lobos since I’ve been here,” Micheli said. ’’The game was an important one for us. It proved to the players that we could be pretty good this year.” The second game out was also a shut out, with Sul Ross taking How¬ ard Payne 26-0 and totally controlling the game offensively and defensively. The Lobo offense made almost 400 I fed the players should be proud of what they have done. I look forward to next year. Twen¬ ty one of the 22 starters and both kickers will return. — Coach Ralph Micheli yards while holding their opponents to under 150 yards. ”We probably played our best all-around game of the season,” Micheli said. ’’Howard Payne played several scholarship players.” Game three against arch rival Aus¬ tin College gave Sul Ross their third win, 21-4, and a 1-0 conference re¬ cord. The offense played well with 200 yards rushing and 150 passing. The Lobos had only one turnover while forcing the Kangaroos into six. ’’This was the first time we have beat¬ en Austin College during a first game since I came in 1984,” Micheli said. The Lobo winning streak was halt¬ ed abruptly the next week with a 15- 41 loss to Tarleton State University. The defense gave up 24 points in the first quarter. According to Micheli, Being A Part Of It -- Angel Moreno, Frances Jones, and Greg George pat each other on the back after a great play.

The team, Micheli said, just couldn’t make the big offensive play. The Lobos were back on track the next week with a 37-7 win over How¬ ard Payne. The game was the best of¬ fensive game of the year, according to Micheli, with no turnovers and al¬ most 500 yards total offense. The de¬ fense forced seven turnovers and kept Howard Payne under 200 yards total offense. The Homecoming game victory over McMurry College, 24-10, brought the Lobo season record to 5- 1. The offense rushed for 200 yards and at the end of the game controlled the ball by running it to help win the game. The defense, Micheli said, gave up a lot of yards to the McMurry pass¬ ing game, but were still able to force six turnovers and return one for a touchdown. The 20-16 loss to Tarleton in Al¬ pine marked the end of the Lobo hopes for a conference championship. ”We played a good all around game offensively and defensively,” Micheli said, ’’but we made some critical mis¬ takes on defense. We let them out of several third down and long situations to keep the ball. The Lobos are the only team in the conference that held Tarleton under five touchdowns per game,” he said. The last two games of the season, against Austin College and McMurry, both ended in ties. The 14-14 AC game, Micheli said, was a game of mistakes that probably kept us out of the national playoffs. Two touchdown passes were dropped and a 80-yard run called back. Three field goals were missed, including one at the end of the game to win. The defense dropped six interceptions including two that could have been run back for touchdowns. The McMurry game, 21-21, also was a game of mistakes with two dropped touchdown passes, four dropped interceptions and a missed field goal at the end of the game to win. ”1 don’t know what the problem was,” Micheli said. The final count for the Lobos was 5- 2-2 for the season. ”1 feel the players should be proud of what they have done. I look forward to next year. Twenty one of the 22 starters and both kickers will return. We’ll have 16 sen¬ iors playing.” Eleven Sul Ross Lobos in addition to Brooks received TIAA recognition at the end of the season.

Despite a hard season, this year’s Sul Ross volleyball team tied with Tarleton State University for second ?f We’ll do better next year since the team has had the experience of seeing how other people hit and block.” Coach Kay Whitley place in the TIAA conference. The many on-the-road games proved to be tiresome for the players as well as the coach. The Lady Lobos were only home for three matches with most games set in places easier to reach than Alpine, Coach Kay Whitley said. ”It is hard for the team when they don’t have the support that comes with a home field advantage.” Coach Whitley feels that next year the Ladies will be more prepared. Most of the team will be returning players with this year’s experience un¬ der their belts. Blocking and hitting skills, she said, are areas for improve¬ ment. ”We have always had a pretty strong defense,” Whitley said. ’’We’ll do better next year since the team has had the experience of seeing how oth¬ er people block and hit.” Whitley hopes next year’s game schedule will include more home games for the Sul Ross team. She feels this season provided excellent train¬ ing in volleyball competition. ”We won several games many people thought we couldn’t win,” Whitley pointed out. ’’But it was still aggravat¬ ing to be so close and come out tied for second.” ♦ Susan Tanner Staying Sharp — Norma Sanchez (26) and other Lady Lobos get ready to keep the other team from scoring.

Volleyball Rawhide, reins, riggins and resin The National Intercollege Rodeo As¬ sociation was first introduced during a 1947 meeting held at a college rodeo spon¬ sored by Sul Ross. Since that time, Old Sully has been known as the birthplace of the NIRA with strong contenders for regional and national honors every year. This year’s competitors seemed to be on that road to honors as they finished the fall rodeo season second in the region behind Odessa College. Regional scores are tal¬ lied by using each team’s five highest scor¬ ing rodeos. The men’s team consists of six contenders while the women’s team has three. Competitors can also compete as in¬ dividuals, even though they are not on a team. Teams are selected prior to each rodeo. One of the hardest things about being a rodeo coach is choosing the nine team members before each rodeo, Rodeo Coach Les Middleton said. There might 11 There might be 25 or more Sul Ross students competing at each rodeo, but only the scores of the nine chosen are tallied for the team score.’ 1 -Coach Les Middleton be 25 or more students from Sul Ross com¬ peting at each rodeo, but only the scores of the nine chosen are tallied for the team score. It’s hard to choose the ones you think will win that week. Members of teams and individuals alike can collect points in each event. The highest scoring contender can become the national champion in a single event, or they can score high enough in several events and become the National All-Around Champion. The skills attained from hours of practice play a major role in rodeo events, but senior Bobbie Acton feels that being physically prepared is only a part of the preparation. You have to prepare yourself mentally, also. I get off by myself and go over the scenes in my mind until I get it perfect and can see it perfect, Acton said.

Penning Them In - Lamar Davis pens the short homed roping steers so they can be easily driven into the chute. Rawhide continued you are menially, but when I’m in the arena, I am concentrating on what is actual¬ ly in front of me. Bobbie participates in barrel racing, breakaway roping, goat tying and team roping as a heeler. She says each event is different every time it is performed. Each arena is different when you are barrel racing, and when you’re roping, each calf is different. So her perfect images have to be slightly altered to fit each situation.

Baseball Slamming into action The 1987-1988 Sul RossLobo basketball team had a competitive season under the direction of the new basketball coach Dr. Roger Grant. Although we’ve lost more games than we have won, the average loss was by eight points compared to last year’s average loss by 25-30 points. The goal was to win conference, but two tough losses to Austin College and Howard Payne University made that impossible. We had the chance to win, but we were up against a tougher schedule this year. There were nine games where we lost by five points or less that I feel we should have won and could have won, Grant said. Also, we had a young team with no play¬ ing experience with the exception of Ken Flue and Jim Ruth. The starting team had four sophomores and one freshman, all of whom put forth their best effort to make the Lobos a win¬ ning team. There were 10 players who played the entire season-three freshmen, six sophomores, and one junior.

They must be of good character and able to play in a team environment. The team members as a whole have to put all their effort into everything both on and off the court. They are expected to compete and fulfill their potential. This year’s players were very disciplined and always willing to work hard, Grant said. Each knew they were representing Sul Ross every time they put on their Lobo uniform. Although this was not a winning season based on games won, it was a season of learning from mistakes, Coach Grant sai i. This year’s experience, hard work, and determination will help next year’s team go on to win conference. ♦ JoAnna Avalos Up And At ’Em — Sul Ross Lobo Carl Pennington puts all he’s got into a high jump to retrieve the ball I in the win against Austin College.

Laying It In - Jim Ruth (22) lays the ball in the bas¬ ket for two points in the Sul Ross Tip-Off Tourna¬ ment. Men’s Basketball Hustle’s the name of the game At the start of the season, more than 25 girls struggled against each other for a place on the Lady Lobo’s basketball team. Each one had to compete for a position knowing that only 14 were to be chosen. Most of the 14 girls chosen were freshmen which meant that the team was young and inexperienced competing against other more experienced collegiate teams. This year’s team, with the loss of five seniors from last season, was made up of one senior in the midst of sophomores and freshmen. Although this was completely a rebuild¬ ing year according to Dr. Chet Sample, women’s basketball coach, he felt in February that the team still had a chance to be conference champions. Last season, Sul Ross Lady Lobos won the conference championship and made it to the second round of playoffs. Coach Sample said this year’s championship is up for grabs. To have a young team and still be able to com¬ pete in the conference for the champion- Like all young teams, this team is not yet consistent...

Like all young teams, this team is not yet consistent. We start off real good, and then we make mistakes, but I think our greatest advantage is that this team really knows how to husde, Sample said. During their game against Austin Col¬ lege, the Lady Lobos had one of their most balanced scoring sessions of the season. All but two players scored. With three conference games left to play, the women’s team was one game out of first place in the conference, and Coach Sample said this was because the team has out hustled their opponents. Dana Souter was leading the team in total points with 220 and freshman Edna Ramos foil wed with 155 points. Ramos also set a school record for steals.

Women’s basketball Swinging into action This year, we’ll be the team to beat, ten¬ nis coach Kay Whitley said. With many returning players and several new players, the Sul Ross team should prove to be com¬ petitively strong. Four of the six female competitors are returning players. Dana Souter and Paula Brown have been named conference cham¬ pions in previous years. Hilda Galindo and Abigail Dominguez have also proven com¬ petitive players. Newcomers Nelda Flores and Daila Scranton look like strong prospects. This is the first year the men’s team has had returning players. Returning members include Larvell Blanks, Juan Sanchez, and Byron Wright. Hans Bedereski was on the team last year but was unable to play be¬ cause of a broken ankle. John Brenneman, red-shirted last season, and Mike Kelly are expected to help the team greatly as new players this season. Last year Sul Ross was second in the con¬ ference to first place McMurry. The team was inexperienced but played several good If experience says anything, we should do well at conference. -Coach Kay Whitley matches. The returning players added ex¬ perience and optimism to the team. This year’s new conference opponent, Howard Payne University, added to the competition. The increase in number of matches at Sul Ross and the other school were a welcome addition to this year’s schedule. The team looks stronger overall, Whitley said, with a higher caliber of player. The experienced players on this year’s team will make a difference. The conference title is up for grabs, and Sul Ross will put up a good fight. If experience says any¬ thing, we should do well at conference, Coach Whitley said. ♦ Charlotte Mueller Service For One — Larvell Blanks begins a new round of play with a powerful serve during one of the afternoon practice sessions.

Preparing To Play — Members of the golf team get last minute instructions from Coach Moran before beginning their practice at the Country Club golf course. MW f Toughing the rough,putting for the green The golf team teed off this year with nine men competing for the five contestant slots open before each tournament. Three of these were returning players from last year’s season. The participants must qualify for each tournament to be on the team, Sul Ross golf coach Bob Moran said. The roster is filled about three days before each tournament. Team members are chosen by the average of their scores. The Sul Ross team mem¬ bers, therefore, could be different for each tournament. Most who try out for the team played golf while they were in high school, but coming from West Texas, most of them face the same obstacle Sul Ross faces. Our big¬ gest handicap comes with our isolation, Moran said. We cannot get the ex¬ perience of playing on a wide variety of courses like the larger schools in the metropolitan areas can. Our biggest handicap comes with our isolation. We cannot get the experience of playing on a wide variety of courses like the larger schools in the metropolitan areas can. -Coach Bob Moran The nearest golf course, other than at the Alpine Country Club, is 30 miles away. This creates a considerable disadvantage when the team plays out-of-town games, which is most of the time. Another problem that arises with distance is the number of tournaments Sul Ross can attend. We don’t have the chance to play very many tournaments, therefore we can¬ not get the experience that some of the schools in the larger cities can, Moran said. To start off the year, the team played two non-conference invitationals, then the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association tournament. Schools competing in the TIAA conference included Sul Ross, Aus¬ tin College, Tarleton State University, Mc- Murry College, and the newcomer to the conference, Howard Payne University. ♦ Susan Tanner Golf Picking up the pace Spectators may think that track is just get¬ ting on the track and running, but it takes much more than that. It takes weeks and even months of physical as well as mental preparation to get ready for the season. Hours are spent running, exercising, and mentally preparing for one race. Coach Joe Longley started the 1988 spring season with a relatively fresh and young team. Only a few of last season’s team members returned. Since he is also new here, he was not yet familiar with the runners and their abilities. In February, Coach Longley said, I don’t know the prospects for the team yet, and I’m still hunting for the right combinations for each team member. Once the right combina¬ tions are found, Longley thinks the team may do pretty well. At the beginning of the season, prospects looked even better, but poor grades eliminated some of the students, Longley said. This really weakened the team. There are about an equal number of runners I don’t know the prospects for t he team yet, and I’m still hunting for the right combinations for each team member” -Coach Joe Longley and field event participants on the team. Running events include the 100-yard dash, the 220 and 800 meter runs, the mile run, the two mile run, and hurdles. The field events include the shotput, high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault, discus, and javelin. Early in the season, the men’s team was considering a mile relay team, but a lot depended on how well the workouts went. Meanwhile, the women’s team was not complete. Some of the track members were also in basketball and that season was not over yet. Although they get a late start, the basketball players add potential to the team. The team had six track meets scheduled for the spring with the conference meet at McMurry. ♦ Alma Dominguez Gearing Up -- Coach Longley distributes Sul Ross track jerseys and shoes to track members Andy Bush and Tammy Hubbard.

Well, that is exactly what 40 Mexican students from the states of Jalisco, Zacatecas, Sinola and Chi¬ huahua did. This was the eighth year that the Sul Ross Department of Spanish offered the Intensive Language Training Institute to Mexican stu¬ dents. According to Dr. Abe Baeza, director and administrator of the institute, it will be offered every other year now. The institute is set up to give stu¬ dents one month of intensive study of the English Language. They were put into the beginning, intermedi¬ ate, or advanced classes which were taught by Dr. Adalberto Garcia, Jim Green, and Bafeza respectively. ’’The students,” Baeza said, ’’came from a great variety of back¬ grounds. We had engineers, architects, dentists, as well as pre- med, pre-law, and pre-pharmacy majors and some students that had just graduated from high school.” They were kept busy with their classwork along with conversations with American students and social activities here within the Alpine community. Their greatest moment of accom¬ plishment was graduation which was held August 13 at Kokemot Lodge.

The Erskines do! The bird was gently thrown into the sky. It quickly moved its wings and took to the air, free and well again after months of rehabilitation by Midge and Woody Erskine. The Erskines, according to SR wildlife professor Dr. Virginia Cogar, started taking care of birds about 15 years ago. Midge says she just wanted to take care of injured birds. Woody, a falconer who also loved birds, thought that veterinarians were not taking enough care of the injured birds and decided to do it himself. He began experimenting with ways of setting broken bones and wings. Word of what the Erskines were doing got around, and people started bringing them wounded birds. Midge and Woody take care of the birds and release only those who can take care of themselves. They keep those birds that will not be able to live in the wild. They have cared for hummingbirds, owls, hawks, and even eagles. • Alma Dominguez Whooo’s This — Beth Ann Cogar, daughter of Carl and Virginia Cogar, pets a great homed owl held by Woody Erskine in the RAS indoor arena.

It must be done with a live animal, so slaughtering to study is out of question. Instead, a hole is made in the animal’s side and a ’’window” inserted to allow observation. Even with the appara¬ tus, the animal can continue to lead a normal life. One such animal has been a resi¬ dent of the Range Animal Science Center for one and a half years. The operation, which produced the opening, was performed at New Mexico State University when the steer was five or six years old. Soon after, it was purchased by Sul Ross for study. Students at Sul Ross have access to the steer for lab studies. They are able to observe the activities of the first stomach and to study the samples of the roughage from the stomach. Through this type of re¬ search 896 species of bacteria have been found. These bacteria convert the grass or hay eaten into glucose. Studying the micro-organisms enables students to discover how the digestive system of such animals work.

Dan Blocker of ’’Bonanza” at¬ tended Sul Ross on a football scho¬ larship, and the 1948 Lobos began a winning streak that lasted 18 games, highlighted by two confer¬ ence championships and a trip to Florida’s Tangerine Bowl. But it was drama that proved to be Blocker’s claim to fame. He ap¬ peared many times on the Sul Ross stage, but his break came when he got a part on the NBC series, ’’Bonanza” where he developed a much loved character called ”Hoss.” At the time of his death in 1972, some 13 years after his first appearance, ’’Bonanza” was still a popular show. Through his efforts, Harley May helped put Alpine on the ’’rodeo map” as the first school to keep the Levi Strauss silver cup for three consecutive years. In 1949, when rodeo was a new sport, Everett Turner, chairman of the Range Animal Science department, decided to let his team enter the college national finals in California. The world of collegiate rodeo heard a lot from the little school in Al¬ pine over the next four years as Sul Ross dominated the National Inter¬ collegiate Rodeo Association. May dominated the circuit, taking three national All-Around Cowboy titles. During his career, he won every major rodeo and won or placed in every event. The Harley May Rodeo Excell¬ ence Scholarship and a scholarship in Blocker’s name from the Com¬ munication and Theatre Depart¬ ment help support other riders of the brand. • Alma Dominguez Distinguished -- Harley May and Mrs. Dan Blocker hold Distinguished Alumni plaques awarded to May and Dan Blocker. Juniors Juniors Ride for the Brand Honorable mention ’’Athletic ability, honors, accom¬ plishments, and service to the school after graduation are some of the qualities a committee looks for when selecting new members for the Sul Ross Athletic Hall of Hon¬ or,” Lee Sleeper, SR director of News Information, said. ”Dr. Chet Sample came up with the plan last year which recognizes outstand¬ ing former athletes, coaches, and supporters. The induction ceremo¬ nies were held at Mountainside Dining Hall during Homecoming activities with nine outstanding ath¬ letes and one booster added to last year’s 15 inductees, bringing the to¬ tal to 25.” Inductees this year were Marshall Bozarth, 1925-1928; Jack Fryman, 1963-1966; Jake M.

On July 7, 1984, Becky inadvertently accepted a ride with a drunk driver who had a wreck. She was taken to the Intensive Care Unit in a San Angelo hospital, then flown to Houston where she was hospitalized for four months. She was in a body cast for a year and in therapy for two years. Today she is confined to a wheelchair, her legs paralyzed. ’’One thing I learned from being so close to death,” she said, ”is that if there is something you want to do, you do it.” She wanted to attend Sul Ross again and started back to school in the fall last year. She had earned an associated de¬ gree in animal health technology from Sul Ross before the accident. Today she is also a senior biology major at Sul Ross with plans for an agricultural related job or if that is not possible, a teaching position. She also wanted a dog and bought Premo two months after leaving the hospital. ”1 always wanted a great dane, so I bought him.” She can be seen riding around town with her dog beside her and his head through the sun roof. Premo is great protection for her. She drives her own car with hand controls and is in the process of earning her pilot’s license. Becky is being assisted in her col¬ lege education by the Texas Reha¬ bilitation Commission which has an office located in Alpine. She said, ’’The office is always ready to help me if I have any problems at all.” • Paula Neely Alma Dominguez Sittin’ Pretty - Becky Lindley can be seen cruising around Alpine with her sun-loving great dane Premo.

Also, entering a university as a more mature person has its rewards. The value of time and money are more obvious to a person who has spent time in the ’’real world.” A break of 30 or more years seems a long time, but at Sul Ross there are many older students. Energetic Sharon Best is one SR student who returned to school life. After working in the rat race as a doctor’s secretary, as a public rela¬ tions person, and as the owner of an advertising agency, Sharon, at forty plus, decided it was ’’now or never.” Not only is she involved in nu¬ merous SR clubs and organizations, but she has also been able to main¬ tain close to a 4.0 gpa. Because of her involvement and enthusiasm, apathy is appalling to Sharon, but she understands how a younger stu¬ dent might be intimidated by uni¬ versity life. She has led an interesting life and enjoys sports such as skiing and sports car rallying. She also has a quieter side; she likes gourmet cooking and practices all the ’’nee¬ dle arts.” Sharon, as one of Sul Ross’ older students, exemplifies how exposure to the real world can be the best preparation to higher education. Her enthusiasm and her energy could well be spread to the younger students at Sul Ross. • Charlotte Mueller Leesa Hanka A Dream Realized - After starting college at 40 plus, Sharon O’Day Best will graduate in Decem¬ ber with a degree in communication and theatre. r Ronda McCollum, Alpine Sharon McLaughlin, Midland Donnie McNatt, Odessa Lisa McNew, Snyder Amber Mitchell, Clyde Kimberly Molinar, Alpine Susie Molinar, Alpine Jesse Montoya, Andrews Shay Morris, Andrews Charlotte Mueller, El Paso Hugh Murphy, Fort Stockton Miguel Navarette, Alpine Robb Nixon, Seguin Carey Pardue, Houston Melissa Parker, Somerset Joe Pasqua, Fort Stockton Elias Payan, Pecos Julie Payne, Alpine Sophomores —Sophomores Melinda Perez, Kingsville Julie Pieper, Las Cruces, N.M.

The show and sale included paintings and sculpture, artist dem¬ onstrations, cowboy poetry and storytelling. Working buckaroos (or vaqueros) modeled handcrafted sil¬ ver and leather. Borman was also one of 21 cow¬ boy artists chosen for the Cowboy Artists Workshop Participants Show held at the Cowboy Artists Muse¬ um in Kerrville Nov. 28 - Jan. 7. The 21 artists were chosen from 200 artists participating in Cowboy Artist Workshops. Borman, who works in oil, pencil and bronze, is pursuing a career as a professional artist.

How would you like a whole crowd of people gawking at your privates? Well, the Range Animal Science Center has a lamb just for that purpose. In December of 1986, a her¬ maphroditic lamb was bom at the RAS Center. It has both male and female reproductive organs and is kept at RAS as a curiosity to show students. The condition is rare, only about 10 cases in 1,000. Usually the organs and functions of one or both sexes develop imper¬ fectly, and in this lamb’s case, can¬ not be corrected by surgery. The lamb is used more as an example of hermaphroditism than as a study for research. This year the lamb is being observed in the Animal Health Technology class. The disorder is caused by incom¬ plete separation of the gonads and by the presence of ovarian and testicular tissue. The condition is more common in sheep than in other mammals, and if a twin is born, it is usually normal. This lamb did have a twin, and it was born a normal fem ale. •Paula Neely Susan Tanner Hermaphroditic Lamb - Members of Dr. Del Davis’ Live Animal Evaluations class observe a her¬ maphroditic lamb bom at RAS. Freshmen Ride for the Brand A class advantage Getting knowledge from reading a book is one thing, but learning by actually seeing things in action is something totally different. The ad¬ vertising art class got first hand ex¬ perience when they took a field trip to Midland one Friday in October. Monty O’Neil, a senior ad art student, did the preliminary work and set up the tours with two print shops and an ad agency. Qualified Printers was the first stop for the group. They were given a complete rundown of everything from the file rooms to the color printing press. They also saw a demonstration of the new computer layout system. Next the group journeyed to the Admarc Advertising Agency. The agency was working on Christmas cards for Claydesta Communica¬ tions. Other projects such as maga¬ zine ads, pamphlets, and flyers were also in progress. The final tour at Starline Priming introduced the class to some bigger machines. June Smith, senior, was especially interested in the size of operations at these shops. ”We had to go to Midland to see the bigger establishments. Some people would like to live and work in a big city, and this way, we were able to see how the larger operations work. But I know that not everyone wants to live in a big town, so it was also nice to see what is right here in Alpine.” A few weeks earlier, the class had visited the Sul Ross Print Shop where they saw many hand operat¬ ed machines. They also visited the SR News and Information Office and planned a tour of the Alpine Avalanche. • Susan Tanner It’s Printable — Advertising art students June Smith, Monty O’Neil, and Dawn Sherrell watch a foiling, embossing printer at Starline Printing.

Students in Dr. Karla Carmichael’s Human Growth and Development class had to carry around 5-pound flour sacks deco¬ rated as babies for two weeks. The class was studying parenting skills. The students were solely re¬ sponsible for their ’’babies,” giving them names, personalities and dressing them in various outfits. At the end of the week there was a ’’Beautiful Baby Contest.” The categories ranged from Most Beau¬ tiful to Most Likely to Succeed. The babies were judged by the stu¬ dents themselves. The voting was taken seriously with the babies ex¬ amined carefully. Caring for ’’babies” has become the trademark of the growth and development class. Many students have never cared for a baby by themselves, and this class gives them an opportunity to see what is involved in child rearing. Students in the class are taking part in a great learning experience which will help them throughout life...and with their grade in Dr. Karmichael’s class. w A A • Jo Anna Avalos Dress ’Em Up — Winners of the Human Growth and Development baby contest are front row: Janet Mc¬ Collum, Emma Sanchez, Phillip Garrison and back row: Skie Gilihadd, Shelly Oberg, Celina Carrasco, Yi-Ching Kuo, and Abby Dominguez.

Don’t mess with Texas! Several Sul Ross clubs are in¬ volved in activities designed to pre¬ serve the beauty of Texas. The Adopt-A-Highway Program is one such civic-minded activity. The Wildlife Society and Clip-n- Brand are two organizations who have four-mile sections of highway to keep litter free. Two other clubs have sent in applications, and many groups in Alpine are in¬ volved. Ed Wagner of the State De¬ partment of Highways and Public Transportation said that the program has done very well in the Alpine area. The Adopt-A-Highway Program began through the ’’Don’t Mess With Texas” promotion to create public involvement to help keep Texas highways clean. The groups participating are provided necessary equipment such as safety vests, signs, trash sacks and project iden¬ tification markers, but the clubs must dispose of the litter. The process of adopting a stretch of highway is relatively simple. A form is filled out and sent to El Paso to be approved. The Alpine highway department receives the paperwork and informs the group. A minimum of four cleanups a year is required. Club members have found the project relatively easy and greatly satisfying. • Charlotte Mueller A Clean Sweep — Mark Adams, Jerry Guthrie, and a fellow club member clean their four-mile strip of Highway 67.

He was awarded $2,500 and a medal by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission. The award is granted to recognize people who show quick action and bravery. Wiemers was one of those people. He rescued Fred Dumas from the spinning propeller of a small plane at the Marfa Municipal Airport. He was a part-time employee at the time. Wiemers noticed that Dumas was knocked to the ground by a wing and ran to his aid to pull him from the path of the propeller. Wiemers appreciates the award but said, ’’Saving Mr. Dumas was just something one human should do to help another.” In addition to Weimers, 20 Americans and one Canadian won, and of the heroes honored three had died. Wiemers is a criminal justice ma¬ jor who used the award money to repay some of his student loans. He was nominated for the CHFC A- ward by Fritz Kahl, owner of Kahl Aviation in Marfa. •Paula Neely JoAnna Avalos Quite An Achievement - Carnegie Hero Fund commission recognized Parker Wiemers for saving the life of Fred Dumas.

Congratulations — SR President Jack Humphries presents the Employee Excellence award to Payroll Clerk Belinda Sample. Off With The Old — Bill Donohoo explains the making of the new street signs to President I Iumphrics and Tom Longman. President Quality is job one Since Dr. Jack W. Humphries came to Sul Ross in 1984, a strong sense of involvement and enthusiasm has been felt on the university campus. As president, Humphries has several goals for Sul Ross. His primary goal is to make this university ’’the best place in the state of Texas in which a student may re¬ ceive a broad-based bacculaureate education.” He also wants to make this school one in which students will learn the value of a formal education. His third goal is to retain the indivi¬ dual approach. Not only does Humphries have great expectations, but he has seen tre¬ mendous achievements. Support for the school has grown since the threat at state level to close it. Also, a sense of’’intense pride” can be sensed in the faculty and students. Because of these accomplishments and the interest of faculty in academic programs, Sul Ross is able to offer ’’its share of rich, meaningful experiences as it provides substance to education.” President Humphries received his B.A. from Baylor University in 1958 and his M.A. in 1962. He earned his Ph.D. from Texas A M University in 1969. In addition to his education, he has administrative experience as vice president for Academic Affairs at Sam Houston State University. His special message to Sul Ross students is ’’Education is a lifelong experience” because ”it has inspired in the student a desire to learn and an appreciation of the fact that a life is vastly enriched if that learning experience extends through a lifetime.” • Charlotte Mueller Great Accomplishment — President Jack Humphries presents Charles Laffoon with a plaque during the Athletic Hall of Honors induction ceremony.

Ride for the Brand New Release --Sul Ross professor of history Dr. Allen Anthony released his book River at the Door: Un¬ usual Experiences in Remote Areas in Nov. 1987. River at the Door ’’Come journey with me in place and time to some ’little-known worlds’ found in remote if not isolated areas in the valleys of the Cumberland and Mississippi rivers.” This quote introduces the reader to Dr. Allen Anthony’s book ’’River at the Door: Unusual Experiences in Re¬ mote Areas.” It is a compilation of seven articles, six of which have been published in scholarly journals of his¬ tory and folk life. Anthony, SR profes¬ sor of geography and history, has been gathering information for the studies for 30 years now. Each area of study deals with peo¬ ple on isolated bends and islands of the river valleys. Anthony chose this topic because history and geography are his areas of specialty. The book is published under River Microstudies of Fort Davis with typo¬ graphy and printing done by the News Information Services and the Sul Ross Print Shop. The El Saro Book¬ store in Fort Davis will handle book sales for this area. • Susan Tanner Staff and Sciences Ride for the Brand The search for resistance The Biology Department at Sul Ross State University was awarded a $285,000 Research Improvement in Minority Institutions Grant from the National Science Foundation in the fall. Dr. Richard A. Hilsenbeck is the project director and principal inves¬ tigator. Dr. A. Michael Powell and Dr. Jim V. Richerson are co-princi¬ pal investigators. The involvement of minority stu¬ dents in the basic research is central to the proposal, Hilsenbeck said. The main objective of the re¬ search is to selectively develop in- sect-resistant grasses which can be seeded in the Chihuahuan Desert region. This will be done by study¬ ing the genecology of a biological phenomenon called cyanogenesis. The study will concentrate on rangelands in the Chihuahuan Desert region of West Texas with some of the investigations conduct¬ ed in the rangelands of northern Mexico. Tests have shown grasses such as grama grasses produce varying amounts of hydrogen cyanide. De¬ velopment of a strain of grasses re¬ sistant to grasshoppers but not harmful to cattle, horses, and sheep is an object of Hilsenbeck and his associates. Artificial selection of grasses will be conducted in the greenhouse. Coordinated collecting efforts are going on in Mexico. Most of the research monies, Hilsenbeck said, will provide sala¬ ries for three graduate research as¬ sistants and three undergraduate re¬ search assistants. Additional funding is being s ought from the NSF to hire area high school minority students and involve them in the basic research during upcoming summers. • JoAnna Avalos Charlotte Mueller Biology Awarded $285,000 -- Dr. A.

Sul Ross State University and the Texas Association for the Improve¬ ment of Reading co-sponsored the two-day conference. It featured small 50-90 minute sessions that connected reading to other areas of the curriculum and exhibits of reading material for use in the pub¬ lic classroom. The conference was an effort to continue an educational experience that had its beginnings at Sul Ross in 1948. Dr. Albert Tucker, Publishers’ Coordinator, said, ’’The greatest advantage of at¬ tending the conference is that teachers and others become updated in the skills of teaching reading in elementary and secon¬ dary public schools.” Although the credit was not re¬ corded on their transcripts, 119 paid registrants got 15 hours of Ad¬ vanced Training for use on the ca¬ reer ladder for public school teach¬ ers. The conference was open to teachers as well as the public since there were no prerequisites, Dr. Tucker said. Some of the mini sessions were ’’Literature: The Challenge and the Opportunity,” by Shirley Clement from El Paso; ’’Bilingual Education Reading Strategies” by Elia Avila from El Paso I.S.D.; and ’’Teaching Culture in Children’s Literature” by Dr. Abelardo Baeza of Sul Ross. Publisher exhibits were set up by Computer Tutor, Scholastic, and Houghton Mifflin Company along with eight others. •Alma Dominguez Check It Out -- Dr. Abe Baeza, professor of Lan¬ guages and Literature and director of Minority Affairs, explains how some of the reading material may be used in the public school classrooms.

Ride for the Brand Tender loving care Studying animal injuries and heal¬ ing techniques is only one aspect of the training given at the Range Ani¬ mal Science Center. Sometimes stu¬ dents get the opportunity to work with live animals in real situations. Such was the case when a mare was brought to RAS after getting her right hind leg wrapped in wire. The mare, owned by the Braman Cattle Company located near Shafter, was brought to Dr. Randy Boeckman, D.V.M., of the Alpine Veterinarian Clinic. He performed surgery on the leg, finding damage to her extensor and flexor tendons. After surgery, the farrier technology class prepared a special shoe and brace to help in the healing of the leg. Martin Estrada, RAS director of farrier technology, said that ’’the extension function will never be restored,” but he felt some improvement could be achieved. ”We believe the flexor functions will be re¬ stored 100 percent.” Strut Your Stuff — The Range Animal Science Center is helping this mare get back on her hooves after she had surgery on a leg that was injured when it got tangled in a piece of wire. Four days after the surgery, the mare, with the aid of a brace, was able to put some weight on her foot. Since then, the muscular system in her leg and back have improved about 60 percent, and more improvement is ex¬ pected. The mare was expected to soon be back on all fours. She was donated to RAS where she will be kept as a brood mare. • Paula Neely Susan Tanner Range Animal Science ■BMH Ride for the Brand Plotting for the future The Range Animal Science seed plot program is a new project for Sul Ross that has proven successful. Se¬ veral national organizations, such as the Soil Conservation Corps and the Wildlife Department, asked if a pro¬ gram could be set up here. Dr. James Nelson decided to take on the project. The seed plot is designed to pro¬ duce seeds of our area for use in re¬ planting areas of dwindling growth. Dr. Nelson, SR senior Eddie Lehr, and graduate student Jerry Guthrie had to narrow the seed selections to a few species native to the area. This type of seed plot program is being con¬ ducted in Arizona, New Mexico, and in northern Texas, Nelson said. Parti¬ cipation in the Alpine area will fill the gap. After deciding which species to cul¬ tivate to commercial quality, seeds were collected from fully developed plants, sprouted in the greenhouse, and tranplanted to the seed plots. After enough seeds have been collect¬ ed to plant, an area for experimental planting will be located. There Dr. Nelson will determine if reseeding the area will be effective. •Charlotte Mueller Filling the Gap — Graduate students Peggy Looney and Cindy McKensie gather seeds which will be transplanted to plots of dwindling grass populations. Picking ’Em Out Jerry Guthrie, graduate student, picks seed which will later be sprouted in the green¬ house for the RAS seed plot program.

COLOPHON The 1988 Brand, Volume 66, was prepared by the student staff of Sul Ross State University Student Publications in cooperation with Sul Ross Typographical Services and the News and Information Service. The yearbook was printed by Herf Jones through the Inter-Collegiate Press in Shawnee Mission, Kansas. The company sales repre¬ sentative was Donna Smith of El Paso. All pages were printed on 80 high gloss enamel paper. The cover for the Brand is red and black with a hand tooled grain. The cover photo is a line shot of Sul Ross Rodeo Queen Bobbie Acton. All layout styles were designed on double page spreads using six column design. The staff submitted several camera ready layouts, allow¬ ing the staff to use various typographic and graphic features. Yearbook copy was set using the Inter-Col¬ legiate Press Typestar computer program. Cap¬ tions and headlines were set using the latest in laser printer technology. The staff entered the copy in the Student Publications’ computer, for¬ matted the copy with Typographical Services’ Ventura Typesetting Program, and printed the camera-ready copy on the laser printer. Body copy for the content pages was set in 10 12 Times Roman; captions were set in 8 point with bold lead-ins. Division page copy was set in 14 point Palatino and opening copy was set in 12 point Palatino. The cover theme was 36 point Palatino and the yearbook title 48 point Times Roman Bold. Headlines were set in 30 and 36 point Times Roman Bold and 30 point Palatino. The division page Bar SR Bar logo and the spurs in the opening copy were drawn by staff member Susan Tanner. Class and faculty photos were taken by Nita’s Photography of Alpine. The title page photo was taken by staff photographer Rolando Ccdil- lo.
