Regis- tration was held in the library and went much smoother than I had first anticipated. I've met my adviser and my schedule looks like it will work out fairly well with Tuesday my long- est day due to my 2:30 lab. The school newspaper (South Texan) put out a special registration edition {describing campus organizations, departments Texas A I University here I am! and upcoming activities) that I read through twice. I sure hope my classes aren't too difficult 'cause it looks as if there is a lot going on at this universi- ty that I want to find out all about. Dorm life so far is great. People are always goofing off or watching the soaps in the lounge. In fact, my favor- ite is about to start and I need to grab a chair before they're all taken. I'll be back to this later ... Grade Aleman and Colette Dames intently watch Erica's latest escapades on All My Children, 4 When all else fails-go to the bookstore-you might find Tommie Lopez, Diane Johnson and Carlos Ybarra there too. This afternoon I discovered the bookstore. They have everything! It's like a small general store. I bought my books, pens and pencils, special equipment for drawing class, a new t- shirt with an A I logo, a book bag, anyway, I spent quite a bit of money (only on necessities Dad) and if you could send some more it would be fantastic.” After dumping my books off at the dorm I went back to the Student Union Building (nicknamed the SUB) to check out the gameroom. There are several video games that I want to learn to play, as well as pool and ping- pong tables. Tve seen posters up all over campus about a dance tonight at the Pub (inside the SUB) and can't wait to go and meet all the people that will be there. Classes start tomorrow so I'll let you know more about what's going on later ... Lining up a perfect shot, David Alizadeh missed when the camera flashed blurring his vision. 5 James Jefferson studies Herman Anderson's Defender technique. Enjoy your chicken ' says Mandy Salinas as she hands Colette Dames her lunch, 6 Working out their semester carpool schedules are commuters George Misiong, Bill Barnes and Barbara Bryan. Tayo Mebude makes the semesterly call home for money. Through rain, sleet and snow the mail from home continues to pass from postmistress Yolanda Rodriguez's hands to campus boxes. Rappin” is where it's at for KTAl's Dejuan Oakes, Linda Mosher and Ron Cervantes, Since 1 had plenty of time between classes, I walked over to the campus post office to ask about mail services. They told me that a U.S. mail truck delivers and picks up mail everyday and that after sorting through it all, it's taken to the different dorms. This didn't explain my empty mail box! When I went back to the dorm to get books for my next class, I heard my roommate's radio on a campus sta- tion. They call it KTAI and the disc jockeys are A I students. It's a pretty good station. They have news, special interviews and play all types of mu- sic-punk, country and western, rock 'n' roll and even classical. Speaking of which, there's a piano in my dorm. Mom, so I'll try and practice. 7 Alumni Phonathon participants Mark Wehrheim for the Lambda Chi's and Zeta's Lori Tschirhart, Debbie Thomas and Patrice Kinney make their requests for money to support the Presidential Merit Scholarships given to incoming freshmen as Carol Alexander checks out a troubled phone.

Maynard and Carol Alexander cook faijitas all There are three national sororities (Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega and Zeta Tau Alpha), and six national fraterni- ties (Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Tau Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha, Kappa Sig- ma, Sigma Chi and Tau Kappa Epsi- lon). They have fall and spring rush parties when they pledge new mem- bers and they fll in the rest of the year There are Greeks all over campus!! by participating in campus and local events. Don't let all the parties and extra activities fool you Mom, most of these kids have full class and work schedules. I don't know where they find the time for all they do! 9 ADPi's Karrie Maxwell and Allison Taylor bum-out for their big lil' sis Halloween party. Secretary Cindy Foreman and student worker Wendy Allen help keep the Library assistant Raul Soto keeps the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research In- books in order. stitute going. Today I went to the personnel office and applied for a campus job. There are all types of jobs for lab instruc- tors, research and library assistants and clerical typists. There are oppor- tunities to be tudors, resident hall ad- visors, and so many more ., . Just think if I get a campus job Further investigation into the var- ious departments showed me that there is all kinds of research work go- ing on that my recruiter never got around to mentioning. The agricul- tural department (Ag) has equipment that their people learn to use, while also learning how to apply new tech- nology in the field of growing things Agricultural professor Dr. Donald Nixon and Gail Newman work on Gail's semester schedule. 10 Oscar Gomez reads the nitrogen content of lawn grass at the forage lab. Mauricio Pacheco and Andy Garza demonstrate the artificial inse- menation of a cow. Research associate Andy Garza takes a reading from the analytical scale. 11 Working in the cole room are graduate students Roger Campos, Johnny Lara and Anna Briones. I wasn't too thrilled about discover- ing snakes in the biology department until they told me that they were do- ing reserach on snake venom as a pos- sible cure for cancer, I guess maybe my prejudice against snakes is un- justified, especially if their research provides a clue to help cancer vic- tims. a chem prof plays billiards with atoms! In chemistry, they have this con- glomerate of machinery called a Dou- ble Mass Spectrometer that identifies chemical compounds and forms ions. It does all sorts of other stuff too, but when he wouldn't let me play billiards I decided to check out something else One of the Biology department's snakes which is milked for its venom. 12 Exploring a microscopic world is Vivian E. Garcia, research associate. Dr. Ronald E. Marcotte, chemistry professor, works with the only Double Mass Spectrometer System in Texas. 13 Keri Macomb takes inventory in the Physics' department stockroom. Good news! I got a call from the per- sonnel office today about a campus job. But I must specify three job preferences . . . Anyway, I told them I would take the first available job that I qualified for and then left to investigate the art de- partment. On the way over there, I got slightly sidetracked and wound up in some group's meeting. They sounded interesting too so I stayed there for a while. When I finally made it to the art department, I almost stumbled over my history professor! Maybe he didn't notice ... Michael Diaz carefully stacks silica bags in the art department. 14 Delma Lozano conducts a meeting of the Pi Kappa Delta Forensics Society, 15 Peggy Wilkes perfects the art of limestone lithography while Dr, Leslie Hunter leaves history class to become a part-time ceramics student. The bonfire slowly dies out after beginning another year's Homecom- ing activities. .

The days have gone so quickly that it's already time for Homecoming. For students, activities began with the tra- ditional Ag sponsored bonfire at mid- night Friday. For Ags, events climaxed when they kept the crown . . Spirits of past, present and future A I students ran high as the Hoggies stompled the Sam Houston Bearkats in a game where K.CJones and Kevin Flowers joined Jimmy Rivera, David Mims, Richard Zepeda, Justin Price and Ronnie Woodard in strengthen- ing the defense. 17 The 1982 Texas A I cheerleading squad keeps the crowd in high spirits during a time out. With the excitement of halftime over, I focused all my attention on the game and wished I'd watched more Monday night football Dad so that I'd know what was going on down there. The final score was A 1-33 Sam Houston-10. Everyone was having a party after the game-the Greeks, the Ags, even the Alumni. I hit them all, well, except for the Alumni one, I didn't have an invita- tion to get me through the door ... 1982 Homecoming Queen nominees and their escorts watch the last few seconds of the second quarter.

The annual Fall Carnival was held last Thursday (Nov, 4) from 6-11 p.m, About 50 booths of games, food and music were featured with students and advisors pro- viding the entertainment and audience. It seemed like everyone was there I was glad none of my teachers assigned Homework 'cause once I got there, I didn't want to leave. The Student Activi- ties Board (formerly the Student Union Governing Board) was in charge of the event and I stayed after it was over to help them clean up, I think I'll join a club or two so that next year I can be more involved. The only problem is which clubs should I join? Oh yea, mid term was Oct. 18 Dad, and I'm passing all my classes , . .

Never thought I'd be homesick until everyone else's parents were here and mine weren't. Parents day just made me homesick The day (Nov, 6) was filled with ac- tivities including a buffet luncheon, ROTC open house. Rodeo Club spon- sored rodeo, horticulture display and plant sale, and performances by the Mariachi Javelina, Texas A I Singers, the Texas A I Marching Band and the cheerleaders. A Texas-style barbecue sponsored by the Aggie Club preceded the football game where the Hoggies beat the East Texas State Lions 37-22. Following registration, parents wait in line to eat at the buffet luncheon.

It's a week full of activity for the sorori- ties and fraternal little sister organiza- tions that I just found out about. I only got to see the pictures (since my Greek roommate forgot to invite me to the fun), but evidently the Sigs do this every year. The week began with the Miss Derby Day Pageant, continued with a billboard The Sigma Chi's have this event called Derby Day ... and Make a Sig Smile contest for spir- it, and climaxed with a morning of fun competition and an evening dance. The money earned from the dance proceeds is sent to Colorado's Wallace Village, a re- habilitation center for children with a minimal amount of brain damage, I wish I'd known about Derby Day sooner .. .

The noise was deafening everytime something hap- pened on the field. You really had to be here to believe it ! As A I contin- ually lost the ball and SWT scored touchdowns, the divided fans accord- ingly responded. We were in for a dis- appointment when the final buzzer witnessed a 45-27 victory for the Bob- cats. The night wasn't over though, Again, Ags and Greeks held parties and the Student Activities Board sponsored a River City dance in the Pub, What a weekend! Later,.. One of many December 1982 graduates receives his diploma and congratulations from President Bill Franklin. Will I ever sit in one of those honored places? Graduates wait to be called to the platform signifying the end of their college days. Newly commissioned U.S. Army second lieuten- ants leave the platform. Graduates sigh in relief at a concluded ceremony. I attended the 1982 fall graduation cere- mony and wondered if I would one day be receiving my college degree. Texas A I holds three such ceremonies yearly. One in May, August and De- cember. Thre's not as much pomp and circumstance as there was in high school, but watching each graduate's face as they received their diploma made it clear that this ceremony was indeed very significant. There really isn't too much to say. One semester has successfully ended and an- other one (more hectic) has begun. I very much enjoy being here and couldn't imagine graduating from any other uni- versity. Must go for the moment ... Recent graduates receive praise and approval on a job well done from family and friends. 31 Godspell cast (left:) Mark Loyd, Roseanne Cran- dall, Sammy Gutierrez, Steve McGee, Michael Scott, Cindy Sendejo, Glenda Langley, Rose Mary Alvarado, Karen McNutt, Ray Moreno and David Alvarez.

Everyone thought the Kappa Sigs would win the bed race for the third year in a row, but the Sigma Chi's beat them. It was fun watching and we even got on the 10p.m. news. Then on Saturday, 1 danced from noon until midnight at the dance-a-thon for Muscular Dys- trophy. Boy was I tired! ... 35 Clockwise; The Horticulture Club sells plants during Aggie Week, but the excitement is in taking yourself and your dog to the NIRA Rodeo where Texas A I students rope calves, barrel race or just drink beer. Opposite: Rodeoing isn't just for the guys anymore, though Tom Guerra might argue the point, but he'd rather be eating barbecue so that he'd hear Dr. David Crenshaw and! Gary Don Hopkins named Ag Teacher of the Year and Ag of the Year, respectively. 36 With Greek Week and Aggie Week at the same time, I was lucky that I didn't have a Lot of homework or any tests. This year's 54th annual Aggie Roundup, sponsored by the College of Agriculture and the Aggie Club, was filled with all sorts of excitement. Ags that didn't have on a bandana got thrown in a trough . . . The big feature was the NIRA Rodeo where Texas and .Louisiana students exhibited their talents, but the best event was watch- ing those Ags throw each other in a big water trough for not wearing a bandana! I wish I'd had my camera 37 Lambda Chi Alpha's Bum Days kicked off this year's Greek Week where social sororities and fraternities sponsored ac- Greeks get together during greek week tivities such as ZTA bowling, ATO Casi- no Night, Kappa Sig Greek Olympics, Delta Tau Delta Talent Show, ADPi Playday and the Sigma Chi Playboy Par- ty. ALL this was followed by the IFC Tro- phy Party. Clockwise: Someone didn't like the Zeta's sign, so they broke it. Ags gamble at ATO Casino Night where Tammy Rhodes was named Miss Greek Week, and the Sigs cheer for themselves after winning the IFC all-sports trophy at the trophy party. 38 Hypnotist Tom Deluca and the University Party Top: Students perform under Tom Deluca's hypnotic suggestions, while the PUB featured a University Party where students drank and danced to Sandy's Six Pack, one of three bands present. 39 40 'The last thing I'm going to tell you about before mailing this off is campus capers. I've never had so much fun! There were Goofing off in general and at Campus Capers eating contests, frisbee talent displays and this really messy egg competition where one person had to drop the yolk of an egg in a cup held by another person's mouth. It was wild. School is almost over; finals are next week, and I'll be home Friday ' .41 SPORTS Off-the-field Fighting Javelinas cheer for their fellow players and Kay Goodwin (14) attempts to keep the ball for the Lady javs. Texas A I had an exciting year of sports with football, wom- en's and men's basketball, tennis, track and volleyball.

CLOSING Student Publications Secretaries Doris Hernandez and Romeo Abrego, Dr. George Steinmeyer-Advisor and Olaya Rodriguez-1982-83 South Texan Editor Photographers Delma Saenz, South Texas, and Pedro Gonzalez, El Rancho SOUTH TEXAN Sarah Coalson-1983 South Texan Editor 135 Thanks! Working on the 1983 El Rancho has been a long road with quite a few downhill turns. The decision to have a yearbook this year was a tough one for the administra- tion to make, but in January, with one Journalism-Eng- lish major's application for the job the 8V2 x 11, 136-page book came into existence-slowly. The scrounging around for pictures and finding a pho- tographer to shoot the rest of the book finally has paid off with my writing this as July begins. Needless to say, I've learned a lot from the many mistakes I've made this year and I hope because of them, next year's book will be that much easier for me to assemble. I apologize for the many people who don't appear within these pages and I want to thank my student publication co-workers, my friends and family for putting up with all my rough times. Editor-Kimberly j. Taylor ter Allison and to Carol Alexander for all their help, support and advice. I'm deeply indebted to the friends who supplied me with pictures: Doug Vannoy, Grace Kosel, Dale and Clay Coalson, Daniel Richardson, Karen Cumberland and to staff photographers Romeo Riojas, Delma Saenz and ex- pecially Pedro Gonzalez. Thanks. See ya'll on the road, I wish to extend very special thanks to my adviser Dr. George Steinmeyer, my Josten's representative John Penry, Sports Information Director Fred Neusch, my sis- 1J6
