Billy Heckford 2 Opening =) Some aE here’s a special aura envelop- ing this campus, a lifeblood if you will, that has normally mun- dane students pumped with vital- ity and enthusiasm. This change has ocurred because of a greater sense of selfworth, of a greater ex- pentantcy of better things to come here at NLU. Some special magnetism has drawn excellent students, schol- ars, faculty and athletes here, drawing them together for the place special sole purpose of making this uni- versity numero uno, at least in our hearts if not on the playing field or in the halls of academia. The theme, “A Special Magne- tism” will show, through the year’s triumphs and tribulations, just how special we are. It will take us through the good and the not so good and show everyone how we have prospered and en- dured (a student’s life is not all fun and games.)

We have that extra something, call it a special magnetism, that sets us apart from all other insti- tutions of higher learning. But what is it that makes us so attracitve? What do we have that makes the pendulum of decision swing in our favor? A factor understandably missed on less asthetic campuses but unique to Northeast is the beauty of our grounds. Our campus, al- though tree-lined and landscaped with hedges like most others, is enhanced by a gorgeous body of water known as Bayou DeSiard. The bayou flows through the cen- ter of our campus and separates the academic buildings on the west side from the dorms and ath- letic stadiums on the east side. It is a pleasure haven to those who like to raft, canoe or observe wild- life. It’s also the “home field” of our national water ski champs’ and the site of the regional water ski championships. Sports at this university have grown tremendously the past few years. The largest sporting event ever held in this area was the NLU-Tech football game, a match-up that attracted 24,000 fans. The record attendence would surely have been larger had not a four-hour drizzle discouraged less enthused fans. Women’s sports drew more fans this year with basketball the chief attraction. The drawing card was the duo of top recruits, Lisa Ingram and Eun Jung Lee. The Lady Indians track team recorded perfect 15 scores in their first three outings, a feat rarely accom- plished by any cross country team.

Billy Heckford | i i Special con The shift from top quality sports to the realm of academics is an easy one to make. Approxi- mately 60% of the faculty hold doctorate degrees, a figure much higher than the national average and one of the highest among _ Louisiana’s institutions. Students from all over the world come to Northeast to enroll in one of the school’s 76 national- ly accredited programs. The Schools of Construction, Pharma- cy, Music and Nursing get their share of studious scholars while others opt for the accredited busi- ness education, dental hygiene, home economics, chemistry, “rad tech’”” and occupational therapy programs. The Board of Trustees approved $22 million for the construction of a chemistry and natural sci- ences building to replace the ail- ing Stubbs Hall. Such action was an indication of academic approv- al from the Board. Northeast is, in the minds of its’ students and faculty, an excel- lent place to study, work and live. Billy Heckford It’s an attractive campus, populat- ed with spirited students and a dedicated faculty. It is unique, beautiful, and exceptional, having accomplished great things during it’s young 51-year history.

The game held a spe- cial kind of magnetism as almost 24,000 football fans came to watch the I-20 match-up. 8 Student Life if ife on a college campus can be quite vexing at times — running out of money on your meal ticket, missing an exam because you overslept, running bare-headed through the rain because you left your umbrella back home, or wak- ing up with a hangover because you drank too much at your favorite nightspot. But students usually make the Paul Stillings Student.tLufe best of it. The student life is a spe- cial life you were drawn to, one that transforms an insecure freshmen into a mature and somewhat wiser senior. x It’s a life that has its’ ups and downs but one that will in later years be a cherished memory and hold for you a special magne- tism. tt o 1V1Sion Photo by Eric Hanson Many students found themselves checking and re-checking their schedules. As classes began to fill changes in their schedules were a must. Eric Hanson What a hassle New ID system causes confusion H assle is only word that could describe fall regis- tration. As 11,000 students swamped the campus, they faced many big changes that were not easy adjusting to. Changes in the registration process faced not only under- classmen; seniors found themselves just as confused as everyone else. Perhaps the most time con- suming hassle was acquiring new ID’s. Students who did not have an ID made before the fall semester had a long wait in an equally long line. These students were given Fall registration proved to be quite a hassle for all those involved. Even young kids found all the running around to be very tiring. temporary ID’s until perma- nent ID’s could be issued. The new system, technically referred to as SACS, Student Activities Control System, was implemented to cut down on the abuses of discount ticket buying and the multi- ple use of meal tickets. It also helped to control the overall day to day activities of the campus. Although the cost of SACS was a substantial amount, the amount of mon- ey that will be saved by the cheat-free system will pay for itself in the long run. Another major change was the installation of new post office boxes. After extensive studies, Auxiliary Enterprises decided on an in-dorm post (continued on page 12.)

Taken from an ex- isting system at the Universi- ty of Oklahoma, the post of- fice will present a greater con- venience for the students and will help in aiding the U.S. Postal System when it con- verts to a nine-digit zip code format. For most of us, the day of 12 Student Life registration is not a day we look forward to. Even less ex- citing is shelling out big bucks in the long lines in the bookstore, which are usual. Everyone has different ex- pectations about registration. Looking for friends, parties, a chance to wear new clothes, and sometimes a rare, enthu- siastic desire to dive headfirst into the ole school books. Getting registered, moving in the dorms or apartments, get- ting post office boxes, and waiting in line to get books are all part of the college scene — the first step to a fresh start. - by Billy B.

Here students sign up for the Natatorium. | With the increase in tuition, some students might have needed to call home for more money. New fee bills also presented problems for every- one.

Billy Heckford That ever too familiar scene in the coliseum as students pick up class cards, is perhaps the last leg of a long and frustrating foot race to getting back to school. Billy Heckford Registration One of those days Are you sure it’s not Monday s I awoke yesterday morning, I rolled over to see what time it was. My Ti- mex read 8:12 a.m. I started to roll back over when I realized I was already 12 minutes late for chemistry class. I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to take a shower. My scream was _ probably heard all over campus when I was jolted to life by the freez- ing cold water. I jumped out of the shower and stood there shivering and cursing the people who had just flushed the toilet. I dried off and rushed to the closet to get my clothes. I pulled on my favorite pair of es | ay cs. 14 Student Life pants, bent over to get my shoes, and ripped my pants right down the seam. I scram- bled to change clothes, tucked my shirt in, put on my shoes and ran to class. When I got to class some 30 minutes late, I took my seat and realized that I had on one Nike and one penny loafer. After chemistry, I ran back to the dorm and changed shoes. I was just a few minutes late for bowling. During bowling, a girl who had never bowled before let her 16- pound ball get away from her and it rolled right into my an- kle. My ankle started to turn _David Clancy blue and swell almost instant- ly, but I couldn’t go to the doctor because of a math test at 10 o'clock. During the math test, my calculator batteries died, and so did my chances of acing the test. As I hobbled to the cafeteria after the exam, I thought nothing else could possibly go wrong. I was wrong. While limping to a ta- ble with my spaghetti lunch, a clumsy nerd ran into me, spilling the contents of my tray down my shirt and pants. I went back to my room to clean up before my zoology lab at 1:00. David Clancy In an effort to get to class on time, John Scott Bailey’s jacket gets caught in the door and he loses his grip. Once again, remember Murphy’s Law: If anything can go wrong, it will and usually does- on Monday. When I got to class, I real- ized that it was the day we were supposed to dissect frogs. When my lab partner was cutting the frog, she sneezed and jabbed the knife right into my hand. It was hard to tell who was in more pain, me or the frog. When I got back to my room from the hospital with my ankle and hand bandaged, I laid down and hoped I would wake up and the whole day would just be a horrible nightmare and not just one of those days when absolutely nothing goes right. -by John Hines Karen Green finds that it’s just not her day when she receives a ticket for parking in the wrong zone.

This is what Homecoming ‘82 was all about. This was the 50th Homecoming anniversa- ry. The festivities drew a spir- it filled crowd to Malone Sta- dium to witness a landslide victory by the mighty Indi- ans. Highlighting the ballgame was the half-time prsentation of the Homecoming Court headed by Queen Cindy Tay- lor, Monroe senior. The re- mainder of the court included maid of honor Dorothy Webb, Winnsboro junior; Lisa Myles, New Orleans ju- nior; Karen English, Lake Charles junior; Sybil Jeffer- son, Warren, Arkansas ju- nior; and Susie Ann Bowers, Shreveport senior. The elec- tion once again showed apa- thy on the part of the students as only 11 percent of the stu- dents turned out to vote in the primary election. In the run-off for Queen, Taylor captured 67 percent of the student vote, giving her (continued on page 20) 18 Student Life Chief Brave Spirit got into the Homecoming spirit by steppin’ out of his teepee, located outside the foot- ball stadium, dressed in a tux, gloves and carrying a cane. 50th queen Cindy Taylor was escorted off the field by her father after receiving a bouquet after being crowned.

Dorothy Webb was elected Maid of Honor. Also included in the Home- coming halftime show was a creative routine by the War- bonnets. Orange and yellow umbrellas were used as props as they danced to the theme song from the movie, “Raid- ers of the Lost Ark”. The grand finale of the routine was the forming of a dome with the umbrellas. As an added extra, the Sound Foundation of the First Baptist Church of West Mon- roe performed their rendition of “Smile America.” Pre-homecoming festivities such as float building, selling and receiving mums, and par- tying culminated on the day of the ballgame. The Presi- dent’s trophy was awarded to the Kappa Delta Sorority in the float displays. The theme for the float was “Gold Rush II in ’82” complete with their traditional rainbow and that ever familiar face, Chief Brave Spirit. (continued on page 22) The traditional Homecoming mums were sold by Phi Alpha Theta with all proceeds going to their scholar- ship fund. 20 Student Life Student spirit was raised at the Homecoming pep rally by the yell- ing of the cheerleaders and their stunts.

Homecoming 21 Homecoming (cont.) The entire week of Home- coming was full of many ac- tivities including a golf tour- nament, tennis tournament, administration parties, alum- ni reunions, and of course, student parties. The excitement of Home- coming did not end with the usual dance sponsored by the Union Board, due to the una- valibility of the facility, where it is traditionally held. As for the ballgame, excite- ment all but vanished in the third quarter when the Indi- ans made their final touch- down, blasting the Southeast- ern Lions 42-0. In the end, Northeast found victory more than in just what the score board said. They found that they had taken over first place in the nation, Division I-AA, in total offense. They also made their mark in five other categories in the Southland Conference: total offense, to- tal defense, passing, scoring, and turnovers. -by Billy B. Boughton After the Indians scored their final touchdown, making the score 42-0 in the third quarter, the fans’ excite- ment vanished. Some faithful fans remained until the final seconds al- though many left for early dinners or patties. Gary Patton 22 Student Life | Homecoming festivities drew a crowd of 17,950 to Malone Stadium.

Homecoming 23 Apathy Low turnout : for elections ee 4 qt process of voting, one of America’s most important freedoms, is sadly neglected on most college campuses and Northeast is no exception. If you’re an out-of-town student, which most of us are, voting must be done by ab- sentee. Although the process is not difficult it is time-con- suming and most students would rather not bother. Student elections are an- other matter. It doesn’t seem too difficult to walk to Sandel Library, turn over your I.D. to the card reader, and pull down a few levers, but an average of fewer than 10 per- cent of Northeast students do sO. No one seems to know what’s going on. Voter tur- nouts are consistently low be- cause issues are usually vague. It’s rare to find a stu- dent who knows all the issues and or all the candidates. Voting turnout percentages are low because voting days are not adequately publicized. There are also students who take classes on only Tuesday- Thursdays or Monday- Wednesday-Friday who may unintentionally miss voting days. Some SGA members tried to eliminate this by pro- posing two-day elections but the motion did not pass. Student apathy regarding voting may, unfortunately, always be a problem unless students realize the impor- tance of this privelege. -by Sharon Harper. Another slow day at the polls beside Sandel Library. Voter turnouts at SGA elections have been consistently low for a number of years. 24 Student Life Joel Waller a A battle fo ouisiana voters will L have a tough decision to make this fall when going to the polls to choose the Bayou State’s next governor. Will the majority cast their votes for the grey-haired, sil- ver-tongued Cajun charmer, (alias former governor Edwin Edwards); or will the more conservative pick incumbent Dave Treen, a staunch Re- publican whose only fault, Baton Rouge reporters claim, is “being too honest for the job.” Both candidates have made several visits to the Monroe area. Governor Treen visited the Northeast campus shortly before his election in 1979 and was a commencement speaker for a 1981 graduation ceremony. He more recently traveled to Monroe to inspect flood damage and later met with President Reagan on his surprise visit to the Twin- Cities in early January. Edwards, a two-term gover- nor between 1971-1979, spoke Joel Waller The former governor created a media buzz when he suggested he and Treen run a no-cost campaign — no adver- tising, no fundraisers and no name calling. on campus last fall at the invi- tation of the Young Demo- crats. The former governor cre- ated a media buzz when he suggested he and Treen run a no-cost campaign — no ad- vertising, no fundraisers and no name calling. The only publicity would come from public speeches and debates. The plan was not taken se- riously to begin with, and as such, Treen declined the of- fer. Former governor Edwin Edwards (left), spoke on campus last fall to urge students to get involved in the campaign. Governor Dave Treen spoke to area teachers of the im- provements he will make if re-elect- ed. He and Edwards spoke at an edu- cator’s conference in Monroe in Feb- ruary. Paul Stillings r the governor’s race Issues in the gubernatorial campaign focused on the state budget and past business dealings of Edwards’. When Treen took office in 1980, the budget had a sur- plus according to Edwards. By early 1983 the state was run- ning in the red. - Edwards’ past involvement in deferred Compensation Corp. of Louisiana, a com- pany under investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office, was another major issue in the campaign. While Edwards maintained there was nothing illegal about his involvement with the company, voters nevertheless watched devel- opments in the case with in- terest. Polls taken in early Febru- ary indicated Edwards was ahead by 20 points in the race. Can Edwards keep his cam- paign going on the upswing? Will Treen turn the race around and pull ahead? Come November, we'll all know the answers. -by Sharon Harper Voting 25 sw Sk aoe aor Hang-ten, which requires much prac- tice, concentration, and skill, is demon- strated by Tony Babin outside of Sugar Hall.

Moni- que Mire and Lisa Wareham try to carry as much as possible in each load as they moved into Madison Hall at the beginning of the fall semester. 28 Student Life It’s a nice substitute for home W hat are the advantages or disadvantages of liv- ing on campus? Students around campus responded with varying answers but the most popular advantage was being able to keep up with ex- tracurricular activities. Lisa Bird, Bossier City sophomore said “Most of my friends live on campus. This makes it easier for us to get together and keep in touch with each other.” Not having to cook was also a popular response. The only disadvantage giv- en was that the dorms are sometimes too noisy when you're trying to study or sleep. One solution given for this problem would be to have separate dorms or halls for upper and lower classmen. One student said, “I think upper and lower classmen should have separate dorms and the rule of only upper classmen in certain dorms should be enforced. Lower classmen shouldn’t be able to get in this dorm no matter who they know or how much money they have.” Students deciding to reside on campus have their choice of 13 residence halls. Men may reside in Olin, Sher- rouse, or the athletic dorms, Harris and Breard. Women have the choice of Cosper, Le- mert, Madison, Masur, Mon- roe, Nicholson, the Panhel- linic dorm, Cuachita, and Slater. Hudson Hall is the only coed dorm on campus. Of the women’s dorms, six are “inside” dorms, meaning the rooms are located in an inside corridor. All other dorms except for athletic resi- dence halls are outside dorms. The main advantage given by students living in an outside dorm is everyday visitation, not just on the weekends. An- other advantage was, “You don’t have to go down a long hall to get to the front door.” One student said, “living in an inside dorm gives you the feeling of being closed in like in a hospital.” The main advantage of an inside dorm is security. As the majority of the 3,518 on-campus students will agree, the advantages of liv- ing on campus outweigh the disadvantages -by Brenda Brinkley Todd Thompson, Brian Miller and friend do it the easy way when mov- ing their refrigerator into Sherrouse Hall.

Millions of and persuaded to plan diets properly, eat nutritious foods, and to exercise daily. To get into shape and re- duce those extra pounds, per- _ sonal exercise programs using music are available through records, tapes, and television shows. Almost any music that has an eight count can be used in aerobics. Approximately 10 to 25 health clubs and diet centers in the Twin Cities trim the excess weight off chunky cli- ents. Establishments such as Goudeaux’s, K elly Lynn, Racketball West, YMCA, the Diet Center, The Nutri Sys- tem, and the Health Food Center are provided for health and weight concious people. More than 30 classes are of- fered as P.E. credit, including body mechanics for women, weight training for men, and a conditioning course offered to both men and women for total physical fitness. Accord- ing to instructor Cissy Faul- kenberry, enrollment has in- creased in the body mechan- ics classes, averaging 40 stu- dents per class. “Students are finding that it is a fun way to get into shape,” informed in- structor Faulkenberry. Patty Ward commented, “I took the body mechanics class because I wanted something different from the common physical education classes. Exercising also requires comfortable clothing. During the summer and fall months, body suits and leotards, shorts, leg warmers and head- bands are worn, replaced with warm up suits, hats, and leg warmers during the winter and early spring months. In the rushed society of the 20th century, the exercise craze “fits in.” Mostly every- one is trying to lose as much as possible in the least amount of time. From the Richard Simmons show to Jane Fonda’s workout book, most people are determined to get into shape and stay that way. - by Patricia Mercer Stretching out is a must before any strenuous exercising. Melinda McCallon shows that comfortable clothing such as a sweat shirt, warm up pants, leg warmers and tennis shoes are definite assets while exer- cising. Billy Heckford Exercise Come hell Or high water A community prevails in a time of local crisis if: was a Christmas gift many area residents will not soon forget. While chil- dren hoped for the sight of a snowflake during the ill-fated holiday weekend, the heaven- lies answered with a deluge of water — some 16 inches of rain that flooded Northeast Louisiana within a three-day period. The continuous rain and rising river and bayou areas created a flooding situation this town had not seen since 1932. Besides causing an esti- mated $50 million worth of damages parish-wide, the flooding resulted in world- wide attention, a presidential visit and worry from out-of- town students who would be returning to Monroe in two weeks. Although NLU is less than two miles from the Town and Country subdivision that re- ceived so much press cover- age, the university was un- harmed except for minor flooding on intramural fields at the eastern edge of the school. More than a dozen of NLU’s faculty and staff mem- bers were not so fortunate in escaping damage to their homes and possessions. Dr. Ernest Moser, associate professor of economics and finance, made national news as he discussed his neighbor- hood situation with Gov. Dave Treen. Dr. Moser’s story is an ironic one. He and his family 32 Student Life moved from the flood-prone Town and Country subdivi- sion to the Treasure Island area where there had been no previous flood record. He can- celled the flood insurance purchased for Town and Coutry, thinking he would not need it for his new home. “Since we didn’t have in- surance to cover damages, I’m doing almost all the clean-up and repair work myself,” he said. His 2,700 square foot home flooded with 18 inches of wa- ter that stood from Sunday night to the following Satur- day morning. Moser and six other family members moved first to one neighbor’s house that eventu- ally flooded and then he and that family fled to another friend’s home. “Things were starting to get crowded at that point,” he said. “There were 13 kids and four adults living in one home!” Moser said members of their church brought them meals so they didn’t have to cook for three families. Dr. Charles McDonald, Moser’s neighbor, came home from a funeral to find his Christmas tree and gifts float- ing around. He also had no (continued on page 34) This warning sign says it all: High Water.

Such was not the case with Bob Carroll, director of Infor- mation Services. In the 1978 flood his home received 10-12 inches of rain and $15,000 in damages. This time the Carroll home got 17 inches, $50,000 in dam- ages and standing water for three days. The major differ- ence was flood coverage for his damaged possessions the second time around. Carroll said he hopes that maybe now some funds will be allocated for upgrading the inadequate, antiquated pump- ing system that drains rough- ly 95 percent of West Monroe. The only bright spot to emerge from flooding was a surprise visit from President Ronald Reagan on Jan. 2. The president flew in to Monroe to personally inspect the damage and offer encourage- ment to flood victims. Onlookers watched as Rea- gan shook hands and filled sandbags with volunteers at the Town and Country site. KMLB, a local radio station surrounded by high water, broadcast a live radio message from the president. Reagan praised the community's ef- forts in battling the flood. Federal relief assistance be- came available to Ouachita Parish Citizens within days after the Reagan visit as he declared large portions of Louisiana disaster areas. The communities of Mon- roe-West Monroe pulled to- gether in a special effort to fight the calamity that ruined many holiday celebrations. Such disasters seem to bring out the best in people and the Twin Cities are no exception. -by Donna Beckham More- land and Sharon Harper President Ronald Reagan tours the flood-stricken north Monroe area with Louisiana Governor Dave Treen.

Many can relate to mishaps such as running out of gas, the car breaking down, for- getting the money, spilling a drink on the table or the date, and getting stuck in the mud. But, ending up with the other guy or girl on a double date, killing more squirrels than the boy, and the girls’ dad pulling a gun on you are some occurences few experience. Tami Epps, a freshman from West Monroe said, “on the way home from the show, my date and I were turning at a busy intersection, and all of a sudden, the bottom of the car fell out. We had to call his parents to take us home.” “On the first date with one girl, I took her skiing. After locking the car, I put my keys in my back pocket. We skied all day, and then got ready to leave. That was when I re- membered about my keys, which were in the bottom of the lake by that time. We had to hitch a ride back to town. My car stayed there for three days,” said a Missouri sopho- Bed more. A computer science major recalls, “once, at a banquet, instead of cutting my cherry tomato in my salad with a knife, I poked my fork into it. My boyfriend was just about to tell me to cut it when the tomato juice squirted all over his sweater.” “At a Northeast football game, a friend and I doubled and the car broke down. It wouldn’t crank to save our lives. We had to call my date’s grandparents to take us home. I was so embarassed. It was a bad dream,” said Jay Johnson. Medical technology major Angie Putnam said, “my date had just come in from out of town and so he borrowed his friends’ van for us to go out in. We came out of the movie and the van was gone. We looked around and finally de- cided that it had been stolen. The sound of laughing brought us to the back of the building where his friends were waiting with the van.” A business management major recalls, “my date and I were running late for a movie, and so we decided to take a short cut. But, what we didn’t know was that the bridge was out over a small creek. Thank goodness it wasn’t too much of a dropoff. We plunged off the end and came to a sudden stop. Water and mud were ev- erywhere. The next time we went to a movie, we took the highway.” by Patricia Mercer Along with the many activities on Bayou DeSiard, couples also find it a place to talk with each other. a 5% alate ry yas TU jalan, a Romance 39 Doug Mitchell and Lori Eldrige are outfitted and ready for a day of jog- ging suited in their sporty warm-ups.

To accompany this trend, men’s attire also reveals a touch of the past, with a choice from the civil war look of bib shirts and the traditional western look. Swinging back to the 1920’s, chemise and straight dresses are now being worn. These styles are an example of the spirit and vitality of the time. Also highly popular in the fashion world are clam diggers, peddle pushers, and Bermuda shorts, all straight from the 50’s. Penny loafers and boat shoes have also been brought back and can be worn with all styles of cloth- ing. People did their own thing in the 60’s and certain fash- ions in the 80’s also express individual ideas. Punk clothes and hairstyles reveal an air of individuality. Oxford shirts, skinny ties, and mini skirts have also been brought from the 60’s and convey a preppy look. The casual wear of today plays an important role be- cause people want to be com- fortable.

Blackjack was the favorite game while craps and the rou- lette wheels also had some big winners. At 1lp.m. the gam- bling was called to a halt and an auction was held. Students used their play money to buy everything from Coor’s clocks to Swenson’s earth- quakes. The SGA-sponsored Dat- ing Game was held Tuesday in Ewing Coliseum.

This seems to be the general con- sensus among students. “I can always tell when it’s Fri- day,” said one student. “The parking lots empty out after noon, there’s no line in the cafeteria, and the whole cam- pus seems as if it’s gone into hibernation for the weekend.” One sophomore said, “It just depends on what weekend it is. If there’s a game, I usually stay. If not, I go home.” The most popular response of students when asked why they go home on the week- ends was, “Monroe isn’t the ideal college town. It’s not big enough to entertain the col- lege student. There aren't enough places to go and the whole town ‘dies’ at mid- night.” A Bossier City junior said, “I’ve been here for two years and I still go home ev- ery weekend.” Another said, Friday’s over and it’s time for these students to hit the trail for home. “There aren’t enough activi- ties sponsored by the school on weekends unless there is a football game.” Not all students feel this way. A Leesville senior said, “T never go home. Monroe is a carnival compared to where I live.” Another senior said, “If I stay on the weekend I go to football or basketball games, depending on the season. Staying also gives me the chance to get some studying done.” Others said that if they stay on campus during the weekend, they do their laundry or just catch up on their sleep. Although the reasons for staying or going home some- times contradict each other, the trend lately has been that more students are staying on campus during the weekends. Is NLU a suitcase college?

And there are as many ways to study as there are beer brands, so let’s look at a few of the major types. The first category consists of students who only study the night before The Test. This technique is better known as cramming. The crammees are usually tucked away in the library corners and JoJo booths. A close cous- in of the crammee is the stu- dent who decides to blow off all his tests and leave the grade to fate and or the in- structor. However other students use a different study technique. These combination night owls and early birds only study late at night and early in the morning. They often come in from class and sleep all afternoon and later go out partying. After returning home at 1 a.m., they study for a while, but set the alarm for 4 a.m., so they can get up and study before going to class. Other types of students like to get involved in group ex- periences. One of which, is called a study group. The groupies are usually found in the library conference rooms. con’t. page 61. Study time presents time for some students to sit for a snack. A favorite of many students, The Big Cookie, is an enjoyable friend during reading. at af Eric Hanson Eric Hanson They sit and compare notes, exchange old test and quiz each other. These students also sit in the same general area during The Test. The groupies sometimes overlap into a more rare type of studying — one that in- volves (gasp) daily studying, taking considerable notes and tape-recording the lectures. It should be noted that these students never get the red-eye from lack of sleep or anxiety attacks. Studying is a very impor- tant part of college life and demands the organization of time each day of the week. Students should realize the importance of developing good study habits — they usually pay off in the future if not at the present time. -by Billy B. Boughton and Karen Harper. Having a friend to study with is al- ways a good idea. Often many stu- dents like to compare each other's notes to help out in studying.

Mahogany Miss 63 Life on DeSiard Just another bayou; not at all, it’s one of a kind. ayou DeSiard is not just B another bayou, it’s very unique in that NLU is the only school in the state that has a bayou running through campus. The heart of the cam- pus — Bayou DeSiard. As it winds through the campus, it provides many moments well worth remembering. In the shadows of the tall buildings and trees, students relax after a hard day of classes. On the banks, they take in the many happenings that center around the bayou, the reas- surance of life and water. Bayou DeSiard, the beach during the summer, the long walk over a cold bridge dur- ing the winter, serves the stu- dents during the entire school year. Bayou DeSiard offers sites of Spring Fever games, as well as fishing, swimming, canoeing, and rafting. It is also the home of the national champion Water Ski team. Bayou DeSiard serves as the link between the academic life and the sports life, sepa- rating the academic buildings from those that house the homes of the mighty Indians. A big part of college life, the bayou provides entertain- ment and fun for all students year round. The bayou is a symbol that everyone can rec- | ognize with the campus. In- deed, Bayou DeSiard is not just another bayou, it is one of a kind for NLU. by Billy B.

Al- though there are several li- quor establishments, the city of Monroe offers a well bal- anced and diversified indus- try, and it is a trade center for North Louisiana. Natural re- sources, educational facilities, and cultural attractions are among the finest in the South. In the early eighteenth cen- tury, the present site of Mon- roe was established as a small trade center on the banks of the Ouachita River. Later, Fort Miro was constructed, and by 1805, it was designated as the seat of Ouachita Parish. In May of 1819, the first steamboat ever to travel to the Taillights on cars traveling east through Monroe illuminate the Northeast exit. 68 Student Life settlement inspired the resi- dents to change the name. The town was renamed “Monroe” in honor of the steamboat and the President of the United States, James Monroe. Today, 57,613 residents populate the city, which is lo- cated approximately halfway between Memphis and New Orleans. Monroe is known nationally as the “crossroads of pipelines,” a point where more major pipelines con- verge than at any other spot in the nation.

These places specialize in ac- tivities which include golf, swimming, tennis, picnics and playground areas, arch- ery, hunting, fishing and boating. Within Monroe, NLU has an impact on the community as much or more than any other industry in the Monroe- West Monroe area. It is a $100 million industry in Oua chita Parish. Dr. Charles O. Bettinger, director of the Bureau of Busi- ness and Economic Research at NLU said, “Based on na- tional norms of differences in earning capacity between those with and those without college educations, one year of education for students en- rolled at NLU was estimated to be a total of $736 million over the remaining lifetime of the student.” For each student enrolled at NLU, the business communi- ty experiences an increase in business volume in excess of $11,000 per year. “For every 100 students who leave the area to attend another institu- tion, the local business com- munity loses one million dol- lars in business volume, said Bettinger. -by Patricia Mercer Mike Shore “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” (1 Corinthians 13:11) Gary Patton Monroe 69 Dear Diary... Groupie epidemic hits D ear Diary: It all started on Monday night, November 15. There was nothing to do so my good old buddy and I decided to go out. We set our sights for a local club that was having a beer bust. We had been there about 15 minutes, when the owner an- nounced that Mike Love of the Beach Boys and Dean Torrence of Jan and Dean would be there to sign auto- graphs. They were doing a concert Tuesday night at Ew- ing Colisium and were visit- ing a few local clubs for pro- motion. No more than five minutes later my friend and I turned around and there they were! Mike Love was on the dance floor and Dean Tor- rence was on the stage sign- ing autographs. That’s when it happened. We were star struck! We rushed right over to get their autographs. Since they were promoting Bud- weiser, they were giving our records entitled “Be True to Your Bud (The Budweiser Fight Song).” After we had both gotten an autograph, and a kiss from Dean we de- cided that we’d had enough thrills for one night so we went home. Tuesday started out as a normal day, that is, until that afternoon. Neither one of us had planned on going to the Mike and Dean “Be True to Your School Concert” but the excitement of the night before changed our minds. That afternoon I called around to see if I could set up an inter- view with Mike and Dean for the Chacahoula. | called Don Weems, who was in charge of the group sponsoring the Budweiser concert. I asked him for two backstage press passes-one for myself and one 70 Student Life for my sidekick. When I hung up the phone I was ecstatic. It was already 4 p.m. and we had to be there in half an hour. We touched up our makeup, fixed our hair, and called one of the reliable Chac photogra- phers to have him photo- graph our adventure. I had an ulterior motive for asking him along; I knew no one would believe us when we told them that we had met Mike and Dean so I wanted pictures to prove it. We arrived at the coliseum at precisely 4:30. Mike and Dean weren't there but our time wasn’t wasted because we met some of the band members-Chris Farmer, bass player and Mike Kowalski the drummer. Since we wer- ent prepared to interview anyone except Mike and Dean we were at a loss of words for the first time in our lives. So, my faithful sidekick turned on the tape recorder and we just started talking. Chris and Mike were very co- operative. Chris told us that he had been with Jan and Dean for two years and Mike said he had been with the Beach Boys for 13 years. We asked them how they got in- volved in the Mike and Dean that while they weren’t tour- ing with their own groups they were part of the Endless Summer Beach Band with Mike and Dean. We had to cut our talk short because the pizza man arrived with their food and they had to eat and ready themselves for the con- cert. We left the coliseum and went b ack to the room to freshen up before trying to interview Mike and Dean again. Seven o'clock finally ar- rived and it was time to head back to the coliseum.

David Clancy Eric Hanson didn’t get my interview be- cause Mike and Dean didn’t have time, so I decided to try after the concert. The concert was great! At first the crowd of 1,500 sat in their seats but that soon changed. ‘Surfin’ USA,” “California Girls”, “Little Deuce Coupe”, and “Help Me Rhonda”, got everyone out of their seats and dancing ‘60's style on the arena floor. We were on the front row, of course. Adrian Baker, lead and rythym guitarist from Liver- pool,England sang “Sherri” and “Don’t Worry Baby” by Frankie Vali. This really got the crowd going. Mike and Dean did all of the popular Beach Boy and Jan and Dean tunes and the different band members also had their shot in the limelight. The show lasted for two hours and as the song said, it was “Fun, Fun, Fun.” After the show we ran backstage to get pictures, autographs, and my _ inter- view. Well, two out of three ain't bad. We got an auto- graph and a picture with Mike, Dean and the band members, but still no inter- view. I was just starting my interview with Dean when the road manager came and told him that it was time to leave. They told me to come to the party at the Holidome and I could get my interview there. So, that’s just what my sidekick and two other friends did. I tell you, we were turning into real “groupies.” At the party, I had my pen and paper in hand as we Brenda Brinkley finally got her in- terview with Dean Torrence, after much perserverance. walked around trying to find Mike and Dean. We no longer had the services of the tape- recorder because my groupie friend dropped it in all of the excitement of the concert and lost the batteries. Then it hap- pened! I saw Dean and finally got my interview. I asked him how he got involved with pro- moting Budweiser. He said, “It all started in Daytona Beach, Florida during the 1981 Spring Break. Florida was a target zone for Bud- weiser and we were seeing how the concerts worked as promotions.” When I asked if he liked being on the road he replied, “In moderation I like it. I like to divide my time (between touring and other things). As they say, variety is the spice of life.” He also said, “Sixties touring was a hell of alot ea- sier. There was relatively no sound to worry about, and there wasn’t as much equip- ment. We just picked up a dif- ferent band in each city. It was inexpensive.” I asked him if touring now was much different from touring in the sixties, and he answered, “We didn’t play colleges then. Colleges in the sixties weren’t set up for en- tertainment. We did a few frat parties though.” He added, “I enjoy outdoor parts like Six Flags, Disney World, Disney- land, etc. I think that the younger the bunch, the more spontaneous they are. College and high school students are the most fun to play to.” My final question was his opinion of the NLU campus, (continued on page 72) Concert Wat Diary con't. students and alumni. He said, “T was intrigued by the small town. The town is built around the campus. I wish I could have gone to school somewhere like this. The campus is very pretty. I didn’t get to see as much as I wanted to but I enjoyed what I did see.” In conclusion he said, “The students were great at the concert! ” After thanking Dean for the interview, I was off to try to interview Mike. This never came about though because I could never catch up with him. But during my search for Mike, my buddy and I found the rest of the band members and started talking with them for about 30 min- utes. After this, a group of people went to Chris’ room because the party was ending. People were in and out of Mike Kowalski keeps the beat going for the Endless Summer Beach Band.

Chris told us stories about being on the road and we told stories about Northeast. Since it was foot- ball season, this was the sub- ject of most of our tales. At 4:30 my sidekick and I decided that we were partied out and that it was time for us to make an exit. We said “Goodbye” to everyone and went back to the dorm. The next morning after only two hours of sleep, my groupie friend called and wanted me to go to the airport with her to say bye to our new friends. Of course I agreed. We arrived twenty-miutes be- fore take-off time and found Chris, Adrian, Gary the key- board player, and Mike the drummer in the coffee shop. Since we had had so much fun with Chris we decided to give him something to remember us by. A Northeast hat. He loved it. With goodbye hugs from our new friends we watched the plane lift-off and disappear into the fog and mist. My friend and I realized that it would probably be the last time we would ever see our famous friends. We then left the airport, came back to the dorm, and officially retired as groupies.

Dr. Tom Bunch, director, said the alley theatre arrange- ment had never been tried at Northeast as far as he knew. “It gives an intimate rela- tionship between the audi- ence and cast members.

He felt Northeast has suf- fered a great inequity in guidelines when it comes to determining how much mon- ey each school gets per full- time student. Vines was referring to Northeast not getting capital outlay funds equivalent to their percentage of growth. “Until there is a procedure in determining funds, there will still be problems,” Vines said. “We need additional consideration.

Guglielmo and Ferrando have made a bet with an old bachelor Don Al- fonso that their loves will never be faithful. With the bet the friends agree to com- _ply with whatever Don Al- fonso wishes.

Vines said a new bridge would have cost ap- proximately $2.5 million. President Vine’s response to the opposition was that the new structure will not dam- age the bayou in any way. The old culvert will be replaced by two new ones thus enhancing the water flow. The new four laned struc- ture will improve the traffic flow on campus because it will accomodate twice as many automobiles, according to President Vines. Vines also , said the new facility will be built with better lighting and a pedestrian sidewalk. Before the completion of the construction, the dam was opened for the first home football game against the University of Texas at Arling- ton. Only two lanes were opened for the game but this helped a great deal with the traffic congestion before and after the game.

The movie may have seemed old- fashioned, and a big way out, but its effect on audiences was overpowering.

I graduated from Northeast myself, and so did my wife. We both thought this was the most important time of our life, and at the time it was; however, my daughter’s graduation from NLU last fall was a high point in our life. I felt that I had prepared my- self for that great night, but as I sat there and watched the candidates for degrees march in, and as Senator Edward Barham gave his address, her whole life began to pass through my mind, and then and there I realized that I was not as well prepared as I had thought. I realized on this night the real meaning of mixed emo- tions. I was very proud that my little girl, whom I had al- ways been so close to, was about to receive a degree from college. Graduation was almost over, the degrees were being conferred, and my family watched as our daughter, granddaughter, and cousin, received her degree. This was one of the happiest moments in my life, but I realized that my little girl, beginning with this night would no longer be the same.

Graduation through the eyes of a parent, is a very try- ing but rewarding time and something all parents look forward to. Although sad for a while, I am looking forward to three years from now when I will attend my son’s gradu- ation. I know I will have those same feelings then, but I also realize that the satisfaction of it all, is in knowing that a part of me has become a little wiser and that I have provided a child with an education. : aa 2 Billy Heckford A parent embraces his newly-gradu- ated daughter after the commence- ment ceremonies.

That was the question the Indians were faced with as the new season rolled in. The fall of 1982 marked the begin- ning of a new era in NLU sports, for it was the start of competition in the Southland Confer- ence. Expectations were high that Northeast would become a factor in the football and basketball title chases, and basketball head coach Mike Vining and football Ls chief Pat Collins were confi- dent that their teams were in no way unable to achieve those expectations. The SLC was formed in 1963 with Abilene Christian, Arkansas State, Lamar, Trin- ity and Texas Ar- lington as charter members. Louisi- ana Tech and Southwestern be- came members in 1971, when in the following year, Trinity and Abi- lene Christian withdrew and McNeese joined. “I think that this is one of the toughest schedules we have chance for titles have had since I have been here,” said Mike Vining. “All of the teams with the excep- tion of two are in Division I and all have had successful winning seasons. However, it is a better conference for us because there are more natu- ral rivalries built in. I don’t think that our fans could get excited by playing teams that were not natural rivals, such as Tech or McNeese.” Northeast became a South- land Conference member on February 9, 1982, ending 11 seasons as a football indepen- dent. NLU’s last previous _ conference affiliation in foot- _ ball was with the Gulf States Conference. Competition in that league went from 1953 until it disbanded in the spring of 1971. NLU was member of the Trans America Athletic Conference from 1978 until it joined the South- land but football was not a league sport in the TAAC. The Northeast sports pro- gram as well as enthusiastic sports fans have long awaited a chance to play in a national- ly known conference such as the SLC and now they have that chance. But even though the Indians faced a schedule packed with powerful SLC teams, they also had a tough non-conference schedule as well. by Michael Harris and Sports Indormation The NLU basketball team left the TAAC last year victorious as they won the conference and received a bid into the NCAA.

Re- cruiting involves much more than the average spectator might think. It in- volves time, money, and the important ability to be able to pick the right person for the position. The battles of the future are won during recruiting time, because coaches know their decisions about the athletes they choose could effect a whole season of play. For Bob Groseclose, in his 23rd year as Northeast’s head track boss, recruiting is no problem. “First you’ve got to have something to sell. And here at Northeast we've got something to sell. You've got to have personality and be sincere and honest at all times to the athletes you're trying to recruit.” Head football coach Pat Collins said the key to successful recruiting is hones- ty. “You've got to tell a kid what you Roger Kelly Shreveport, La. Football expect of him as a player and what the outlook is for the position he'll be play- ing. But more than that, you've got to be honest where his education is con- cerned.” “An athlete we recruit will be given every advantage. He will be given special tutorial help if he needs it, attend study hall as a freshman, be subject to bed check and be awakened every morning for breakfast. But if he doesn’t go to class or doesn’t make an effort in his studies, there is nothing we can do for him,” said Collins. Many times when a new recruit goes to college he or she really hasn't thought about the academic end of their career. This is where the coach may step in. “Several athletes don’t know what to ma- jor in when they come to college,” said Groseclose. “If there is some uncertainty I will only then suggest to them what to Jack Martin Shady Grove, La. Basketball take. I think it is important to direct _ them toward a course of study they want _ to pursue.” Groseclose said coaches must be concerned with their players future, | character, scholastics and sports as well.” It is always important to recruit local athletes, but you should never sign _ someone just to appease the alumni,” | said Collins. “We don’t sign anyone we don’t think can contribute to our pro- gram.” “It is the general policy of most varsity sports at Northeast to try and recruit the local talents first, then go out of state to east and central Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi. Some sports such as tennis find their best talents in California and Florida and many times amatuer players from the European circuit may sign to play at Northeast due to the recruiting _ efforts of tennis coaches Mary Nyholm and Wilson Campbell.

It is determined by a number of factors. “A coach should try to set a quo- ta of these. And if an outstanding athlete is available, take him regardless of the situation,” said Collins. Recruiting is like no other job, but for all college coaches, it is their responsibil- ity to represent Northeast in a fashion that will be appealing to the recruit. Not all athletes sign just because they are asked, but this is just part of the game. “We try to leave the recruits with the impression of being wanted and that they will have a place on our team and in our school,” Groseclose added. “To re- cruit you've got to like what you're doing and believe in your program.” -by Scott Unice and Micheal Harris.-Graphic de- signs by Ken Mobley Lisa Ingram Jacksonville, Fla.

Our pitchers were young but they did pretty well and should give us a good nucleus for next year,” said the coach of 6 years. St. Amant had only two pitchers back from last year but got good mound work from several freshmen, most notably Mark Wisniewski, Matt Dornier, Gerard Cava- lier, and Johnny Dickerson.

Coach St. Amant said he and his team is optimistic about playing in the South- land Conference. “Our goal is to win the northern half of the conference and advance to regionals.” “It’s going to be a doggy dog fight but our chances are as great as any other team.

N@oOPNOONRNON _ QnnvorNour Georgia Southern 22-29-1 I $2.2 million diamond reflects dream between Brown and Ma- lone Stadiums, is now a reali- ty. In the mid-70’s Northeast sports administrators realized the need for finer football and baseball facilities. All schools in the state were becoming V) ese new baseball facility, more modern by updating their playing fields, and Benny Hollis, athletic direc- tor, said that “NLU wanted to _ update their own sports facili- ties,” so they did. , President Vines had to sub- mit to legislation a request for money to fund a new football and baseball stadium. Shortly after his submission, North- east was granted the money. Because of the need for a foot- ball stadium, Malone stadium was the first to be construct- ed. And now seven years later, both dreams have been fulfilled. Gary Patton Construction on the new stadium began in the fall of 1980 under the construction of the Lincoln Builders Com- pany out of Ruston. The new facility is not fully completed; however, it is ready for play. The new park lacks a field- house, parking area and light- ing. “We hope to aquire these extras within a period of two years,” said Hollis. The total cost of the stadi- um as it stands is 2.2 million dollars. This is the cost for the original contract which did not include lighting, parking or a fieldhouse. ‘There were no hold-ups on the way to completion,” Hollis stated, “we did not run out of money to complete the stadium. The lighting, parking and field- house area, to be completed later, and will cost right at 750,000 dollars.” “The name of the new sta- dium is still undecided and will remain that way for two or three years,” said Hollis “However, there have been some considerations but no decisions about a name for the stadium. The new park was modeled after Texas A M’s stadium. The stadium seats 1800 and this should help to draw more spectators to NLU baseball. Baseball play started in the new stadium in the fall of 1982. -by Scott Unice Gary Patton Baseball 107 Photo by Gary Patton Netter, Tommy Robinson, shows in- tense concentration as he backhands the ball across the court. 108 Sports | Goo d, but not good enough National ranking eludes highly successful netters record of 17-5 is not bad, but it wasn’t good _ enough for a national ranking for the men’s tennis team. “The reason we did not rank nationally is because the five losses we had were to five na- | tionally ranked teams,” said fourth-year head coach Wil- son Campbell. “In men’s tennis at the col- lege level it is hard to get a | national ranking. There are | only 20 teams picked to be ranked and there are more than 20 teams competing. In our district there are around six teams ranked in the top 20,” said Campbell. Campbell said the 1983 sea- son should be no worse than the previous year. The men’s tennis team consists of 10 players. Of those ten, two are from outside the U.S.; Ber- nard Aldenhoff, who won more than 22 matches in 1982, returns with hopes of big suc- cess in 82-83, and Mark Ti- chenor, two-time MVP, also returns. Even though NLU entered a new conference, Campbell said it will not affect the ten- nis program much _ because their schedule has always consisted of all the SLC teams. The end of the 1981-82 sea- son brought with it a first for NLU college tennis, the NIT. It was hosted by Northeast in 1982 and will be held here again in 1983 to close out the season. The NIT consisted of 12 teams in 1982 and Campbell expects the tourney to grow in future years. The idea of the tournament is to let some of the unranked college tennis teams have a chance to get some recognition. Campbell, an Irishman with a strong background in tennis, will have a strong team this season. “We expect to play at least 25 matches, and I expect the men to per- form well.” -by Scott Unice FRONT ROW: Stewart Rozas, Devin Forbes, Wilson Campbell, Peter Jet- zel, Rudy Peters.

Ward Season full of faults Injured-plaqued squad scores losing season E or the first time in years the women’s tennis team _ had more losses than wins. In _ the 1981-82 season their re- cord went from one of high _ national rankings in the pre- _ vious years to a mark of 13- 17. Fourth-year head coach _ Mary Nyholm said that the _ squad had started with eight members and was then cut to six. As the season wore on _ those six took a beating. “We were entering tournaments with four healthy players and two injured players,” re- _marked Nyholm. Tennis, as a collegiate sport, is very competitive. _Many college players play in the amateur circuits during _ the summer which gives them year-long experience and in- creased ability. “To contend for national rankings, you have to com- pete on a national basis. That means you have to compete against other nationally ranked teams and this means your team must travel,” said Nyholm. Most of the ranked teams are in Florida and Cali- fornia. “When a tennis team com- petes in other schools tourna- ments, they might play four to ten teams depending on the turnout for the tourney. And they might play up to 35 tour- naments in a single season. The “luck of the draw” deter- mines your tournament seed- ing, because the coaches who host the tournament deter- mine the draw,” said Ny- holm. Nyholm said she expects great things in 1982-83. The squad will consist of ten young but experienced play- ers. Nyholm recruited three women outside of the United States; Dina Softic from Yu- goslavia, Maru Fischer from West Germany and Anna- belle Landa from New Mexico who is a naturalized Ameri- can. Nyholm, who does all the recruiting for the tennis team, said she first heard of Dina Softic from a friend in Texas. Nyholm grew up in Europe, but is originally from the west coast and she often visits Europe in the off season to recruit players and do some sight seeing. Softic played the European amateur circuit and her dou- bles partner and close friend was Fischer. Nyholm and Sof- tic kept in touch and Softic decided to sign to play at NLU. Shortly after Fischer signed up to join her friend in Kevin Ward America. Nyholm said Dina and Maru may have a diffi- culty in making the adjust- ment from the clay courts in Europe to the hard courts in the U.S. Cindy Berryman, a senior, is in her third year at NLU as a tennis player. She was ranked sixth in the amateur rankings in the U.S. “Cindy is just a super competitor,” re- marked Nyholm. Berryman is followed closely by her team- mate Kelley Zimmerman who is ranked twelth by the ama- teur poll. Berryman and Zim- merman play the U.S. ama- teur circuit during the sum- mer. Nyholm said the Southland Conference will not affect their schedule play at all, commenting that the ’81-82 losing season was only a fluke. -by Scott Unice FRONT ROW: Kelley Zimmerman, Stephanie Burnam, Maru Fischer, Annabelle Landa, Lisa Brenner.

Tennis ictal 112 Par the course Coach spouts optimism M any think of golf as a timid sport with no ac- tion. But if you've ever watched the sport, all you might see is a player hit the ball, go get it and hit it again. And he'll do this for 18 holes wherein he might walk thou- sands of yards day after day. But if you're an avid golf fan and know the sport you can relate to the golfers journey over the course. You also know what skills it takes to play 18 holes of golf. “The Northeast golf pro- gram has come a long way,” said eight-year coach Dr. Wallace Jones. “As far as overall balance goes, we have the best group of players that we've ever had,” said Dr. Jones. If you know anything of Sports Northeast golf, you probably know of John Dowdall. “John is a fine, dedicated player,” said Jones. Dowdall won the ‘82 state amateur tournament held in New Orleans against a real tough field. The tourney is said to be one of the most prestigious amateur golf events held. Jones was optimistic about doing well in the SLC. “The Southland will be a strong golf conference,” said Jones. “We would like to get across to everyone that golf is not a seasonal sport. We play six tourneys in the fall as well as playing in the spring. And sometimes there are from six to 24 teams in a tourney.” — by Scott Unice Gary Patton Golf Team: FRONT ROW: Joe Gates, Todd Hall, John Dowdall, David Williams, Grad. Asst. Paul Farr.

Making waves Team dives into new league he big step up to the Southland Conference helped a lot of sports pro- grams at Northeast, but swim coach Peter Clark was sad- dened by the move. “The sad thing about the move is that the only school in the SLC that holds swimming in it’s athletics is Lamar. And they only hav e a women’s pro- gram,” said Clark. “So we are a lot like soccer in that we went from a conference out of a conference. Now what we do to take the place of the SLC is compete in the national in- dependent conference cham- pionships. It is a much more competitive conference, stronger, because we see more national power and different talent than we normally would see in a regular confer- ence.” In ’82 coach Clark relied heavily on recruiting, which he does himself. “I recruit more from Texas and the East Coast, from Florida and up through Illinois and New York,” said Clark. Scott Clay- comb, an NLU breast-stroker, from Warren, Arkansas, was one of the most recruited ath- letes in the south in 1982. Jimmy Spalding, a sprinter from Dallas was recruited by Northeast.

She ran the 100 in 11.7 (fully automatic timing) and the 200 in 23,84 (f.a.t.). “T would like to have an- other shot at the nationals,” said Cowans. “I feel that with a better start out of the blocks and a little patience I can break my timing.” “I would like to qualify for the 84’ Olympics and make tryouts,” Cowans said. Lauri Young led the team in scoring and set the high jump and 100 hurdles mark. Jo El- len Kinnamon was the second score on the team and set dis- cus and shot-put records.

However, the Northeast rifle team does just the opposite. “As a coach it is my job to try and bring the team down before a meet, because to be successful you must be calm and have a steady aim,” said Sgt. George Walsh, coach of NLU’s rifle team, one of the best in the Southland Confer- ence. The team consists of 12 members, but only four or five compete in the meets. Which members go is deter- mined by various intersquad competitions. In competition, there are three shooting positions that each man or woman must perform: prone or laying down position, the kneeling position, and the standing po- sition. Each competitor must shoot twice from each posi- tion. Each rifleman shoots at six targets. The target is a card composed of 12 smaller tar- gets. Two of the targets are for sighting purposes and the rest are counted for points. Ten counted rounds are shot at each card, with each small target worth up to 10 points, making 600 possible points. “A top collegiate performer will generally average around 540 points for a match,” said Lee Clark, the team spoke- sperson. The rifle team is a varsity sport and a member of the Southland Conference; there- fore they are funded through the athletic department. When the baseball facility was built, a new rifle range for the team was built into the north side of the stadium. “This new range is just great,” said Walsh. “Now we don’t have to drive to West Monroe every day and prac- tice.” Being a member of the rifle team takes no special talent but we do ask that everyone interested take the physical education course offered to learn more about fire arms. Previous experience either in high school or other organiza- tions would be good,” Walsh said. David Clancy Chris Coody, Dale Jones and Randy Almand work on their prone posi- tions. A small telescope to aid the ri- flemen in their shooting appears at the right of each man. Rifle team members aim for targets while in the kneeling position. “Ri- flery is on its way up in the U.S.,” said coach Walsh. FRONT ROW: Kathy Grubbs, Chris Coody, George Jones, Randy Bryant.

Soccer 135 Unrecognized but not unsuccessful W hat is the first thing that comes to your mind when someone mentions college sports: football? basketball? Maybe baseball? Most people think of tall muscu- lar athletes with poise playing in stadiums with big crowds and lots of noise. This is true in most cases. But a great deal of action lies in that unpublicized, sometimes unap- preciated area of college athletics termed club sports. For years, the norm for most college stu- dents has been to attend 70 percent of their classes and 100 percent of all football and basketball games. Sure football is hard hit- ting and basketball is quick and graceful, but have you ever been to a ski tourna- ment, karate match, or even a rodeo? Club sports are not recognized by the NCAA as an official sport; therefore, they cannot be funded through a school’s athle- tic budget. Varsity sports, and any other sport a college has that participates in the Olympic games, are funded through their school’s athletic budget. So as a general rule, any sport participating in the Olym- pics is classified as a varsity sport at the college level unless otherwise stated by the university athletic policy. At Northeast and many other colleges the ski team, flight team, rodeo club, karate team, and others are club sports and must find ways to fund themselves in order to compete. Wave ow do you think it feels H to be called the champi- ons of your sport or to be na- tionally publicized with your picture in magazines? How do you think it feels to have the respect and admiration of your peers and fellow com- petitors? Just ask five-year founder and adviser Dean of Students Tom Murphy or any member of the Northeast ski team. They'll give you looks and grins worth a thousand words. “Winning the championship for the third consecutive time makes me feel like we've ac- complished something,” said third year skier Rafe Arm- strong, “People sure can't look at the Northeast ski pro- gram and call it a fluke be- cause we have won it three times. I feel we are the best at what we do!” “The ski program here at Northeast has a virtually un- defeated record. The only Skiers grab third national time we ever lost a tourna- ment was the nationals in 1979 to San Diego State,” said Murphy. “This was the first year to ever have a national tournament, and it was host- ed by Northeast on Bayou DeSiard.” Competition stems out of “It feels good to be a part of a sport that has won three na- tional titles consecutively,” said second-year man and president of the team, Aarne Clow. “To me it’s hard to de- scribe why I like skiing so much; I guess it is a sport where you can never reach an optimum. There is always room for improvement. the southern United States from California to Florida; however, some midwest states compete also. Competition is broken down into regions and Northeast falls in the South Central region along with Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas. Form is important to distance in jump competition and concentration is of great importance also. Rafe Armstrong, captain of the men’s team, shows his form in competition on Bayou DeSiard. 136 Club Sports reviews title in as many years Outstanding women skiers _ that returned for 1982 are Ja- net Cody, Stacey Spiker, and Terri Olsen Winans. And for the men, Rafe Armstrong, Aarne Clow, Keeny Norman, Todd Leechman, and Lyle Perkins, returned to help Northeast to take their third national crown. Kristi Hill from Kansas and Mississippian Kelly Armstrong are two freshmen that gave Northeast a big boost in 1982. Rafe Armstrong and Aarne Clow finished one and two re- spectively non-intercollegiat- ly in Division I in the open nationals in August of ‘82. “Great!” Said fourth year ski- -er Stacey Spiker. “I think what is important is that we had to work for it. Nobody gave us this championship or any other.” When asked about being a club sport member rather than a varsity | member Spiker said, “We are | disappointed in that we feel | left out of university athletics, but on the other hand it is a good thing because we are our own boss. Nobody tells us our responsibilities as ath- letes. We make or break our- selves. Dean Murphy is our supporter,” said Spiker, “He really sticks up for us. He helps us out through advice, through financial matters, and most anything else.” Mark Schrosoch finished fourth in the nationals. Divi- sion I consists of skiers 17 through 25 years of age, who compete with other U.S. ski- ers. “The squad is made up of 18 members, including ‘B’ team members, said Murphy. “Each week all skiers, includ- ing ‘A’ team must win their spot on the team. There is a captain of the men’s team, Rafe Armstrong, and captain of the women’s team, Stacy Spiker. The captain decides who wil l ski, that weekend based on everyones perfor- mance.” Terri Winans assists Bilwood Smith before an exhibition held on Bayou DeSiard on homecoming day Octo- ber 23.

Skiing is one of those inter- collegiate activities termed a club sport. It is not recog- nized by the NCAA as an of- ficial sport and therefore can- not be funded through the athletic budget, but Murphy added the NCAA also says that if the sport is one that competes in the olympic games then it is an official oe | sport. Water skiing is slated to be a part of the 1984 Olym- pics, so it looks like just a matter of time until it gains varsity sport status. “It is really gratifying for me to be a part of this pro- gram, said Murphy, “The men and women work so hard to be the very best.

Staying with it is,” said the wife of three-year Northeast karate instructor Bob Allen. “This is true with almost anything, especially karate,” said Allen, advisor of the Karate Club. “It’s so de- manding. Karate becomes more of a mental game than a physical game,” “It is 99 per- cent physical when you start and one percent mental and after awhile it turns the other way around becoming 99 per- cent mental and one percent physical.” The Karate club began in January of 1982 and competed in March of that year in the All-South tournament held in New Orleans. They competed in another tournament in Oc- tober in Meterie, just outside of New Orleans, and won their first collegiate tourney there as a team. They beat the University of New Orleans, LSU, and Delta State. “The team holds three two- hour workouts a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, plus any other time they want to practice,” Allen said. Allen is very intent on teaching the basics of karate to his students and his club. “A lot of schools don’t teach basics and if you don’t have basics you can’t build a foun- dation.” Bob Allen and Don Shipley spar dur- ing a workout. “Rose Shuff and Lavenda Tyson are two excellent wom- en we have competing for us,” Allen said, “Someday I’m sure they will be world champi- ons.” Lavenda comp eted against the men in the tournament hel- in New Orleans in Octo- ber and beat them all. Rose won first in form and first in fighting in the All-South tourney held in March of ’82. Eugene Ellis, a brown belt, has been known for giving quite a few black belts all they can handle. And Chris Ponce de Leon, is another brown belt who does his job very well. “These people have tal- ent,” said Allen about the whole team. Everyone works hard.” When asked his feelings about karate being a club sport rather than a varsity sport, Allen said it is only a matter of time until karate goes varsity. “Well, first we must prove ourselves as the ski team has. Karate is on the varsity level in California and is becoming more of a nationwide sport. We feel like we are in a never- never land right now com- pared to other sports, but we also realize that we cannot just jump right in and expect everyone to accept us as the best. We must prove our- selves first.” -by Scott Unice FIRST ROW: Bob Allen, SECOND ROW: Chris Ponce de Leon, Jerry Cunningham, THIRD ROW: Lavinda Tyson, Rose Shuff, Marcie Stassi, FOURTH ROW: Bill Perkins, Byron Brown, Eu- gene Ellis, Don Shipley.

To get the best time you must know exactly how and when to turn the horse. Kim Jones here is still one sport left in America that has that old western flavor in it; for it’s where country folk are still country folk and city folk ain't. It’s got beauty and raw competition that places man against animal or beast in most cases. It’s rodeo. The rodeo club at North- east started around 20 years ago, and until seven years ago it was nothing but a club. Since then the club has be- come a team. “Any student on campus can join the club,” said president Kim Jones. “You don’t have to have any special skills or own a horse, or compete, all you have to do is be yourself.” Northeast is in the Ozark region where it gets a lot of competition from Arkansas, Missouri and Mississippi. The club averages about 10 Play Day held in Monroe. Ropin’ n’ ridin’ rodeos a year. Each member of the team who c-mpetes may enter as many events as he or she wants to. “It is best to enter as many events in as many rodeos possible to get a chance to compete in the fin- als at the end of the season,” said Jones. Most events are judged by time such as barrell racing and goat roaping, but some events are judged on the per- formance of both man and animal such as bull riding and bareback riding. “We really need the sup- port of the public to make ro- deo a better sport at North- east,” Jones said. “Each year we put on “Play days” so the public can come out to watch and so our members can have some fun too.” -by Scott Un- ice Toe! ‘Waller Buckshot Sims starts the barrell race.

The Wats Tommahawks are soaring and on their way to high flying. “The club sport is open to anyone interested in avi- ation,” said Gary Hemphill, adviser. The Tomahawks compete each fall on a region- al basis, then the winner and the runner-up go to the na- tionals. At the nationals, teams are put through ground and flying events. Some of the ground events include air- craft identification, pre-flight, flight computer, scan, and the message drop. In the flying events there is the power-on and power-off landings and navigation. “We placed fourth in the regionals,” said Hemphill. “We started with only one person on the team who went to the nationals last year.” “I think as a team we could have used a little more practice. I think we'll do better next year,” Hemphill said. Be FLYING TOMAHAWKS Last year, the Tomahawks placed ninth in the nation as far as team standings and took first place in the power- off landing. For the past two years the Tomahawks hosted the nationals at the Monroe airport. Since flying is a club sport they are not funded by the university. Many times team members have to pay their own travel expenses. The average cost to rent a plane is about $27 per hour. “We prac- tice 10-12 flight hours for an event,” said Hemphill. “Since I’m a graduate assis- tant,” said Hemphill, I have competed at times, when we go to the nationals, I compet- ed because we couldn't afford to take enough people.” Hemphill added, “I just call myself adviser.

Check poin Orienteers find their way A nybody who is interest- ed in orienteering, or just likes to get out in the woods can be taught how to orienteer,’ said Captain Brehm, the orienteering advi- sor. “We'll take you from square one and teach you everything you need to know. It doesn’t take that much. When we get new people, they are started out on the yellow or intermediate course which is about two miles long. When the runner leaves the starting area and heads for the woods he has only a com- pass and map to rely on.” Like most club sports at Northeast, the orienteering team is tops in their field too. In 1980 the squad made it big by first winning their region and then going on to capture the national crown, and in 1981 they finished second in the region and took third at the nationals. One of the main problems orienteering faces is funding. When the team goes off to compete for a weekend they drive campus vans and they stay in motels. “Our funds consist of what we raise our- selves,” said Captain Brehm. “The majority of our money comes from a meet that we Albert Ludwigs heads for the woods with only map and compass. host down at Pineville called the Southern Orienteering Meet. The meet was held on the 16th and 17th of October. We raised right a $2700 through entry fees and a snack bar that we operate.” Brehm understood the rea- sons why his group is not funded through the athletic budget. “I understand the problem and I would feel very glad if the athletic department would start funding our group. But we do get some help from the university. Our trav- el expenses are cut some by the use of the campus vans and we do get athletic rates on travel costs. And they also bought us very good uni- forms.” “Running the red course, which is the toughest, and is any where from four to five miles long, takes quite a bit of experience. Darrell Summers, James Lewis, Billy Anderson, and John Patrick are probably are our top performers right now, but all of our members know how to handle all the courses. If a course if four miles long you better plan on running an extra two or three miles to run the course,” Brehm said. -by Scott Unice Ron Brehm Top performer Billy Anderson checks in after finishing course. Club Sports 143 ae ae ee a : eS. ie S — - nn ee a 4 T here was a first for Northeast in 1982, and it came by way of the Southland Conference. The Indians wasted no time in becoming a dominant factor in the con- ference race. In the first five games, Northeast fans saw the Indi- ans run, throw and pass over everyone who stood in their way as the Indian record went to a 4-1 mark that gave them a seventh place ranking in the Division I-AA poll. The Indians found them- selves in a position where they were being chased in- stead of chasing someone. But the sixth game suddenly changed all that glory. The opponent was Louisiana Tech. Northeast fell to Tech, and the Indian conference re- 144 Sports assing fancy Indian aerial assault finishes fifth nationally cord went to 2-1. The loss also put the squad in a must-win situation in the conference race. The remaining five con- tests would see the Indians win four of the five, losing to Southwestern in a game many will try to but never forget. On November 20th North- east closed out a season that perhaps had more than its share of climaxes, but the game with Northwestern was the biggest climax of all. There was a lot on the line depending on the outcome. There was talk of a play-off berth going to the winner. Also in 1981 Northwestern embarrassed the Indians, 41- 9, so Indian pride was on the line, too. When the game was over, Paul Stillings Second string quarterback, Rodney Horn (11), gets his chance at signal calling as he helped deal SLU a loss. John Holman, (14), passed for 370 yards on Homecoming day to shut- out SLU 42-0. Northeast defeated North- western 28-27, but no play-off berths were dealt to either team. So the season ended very abruptly leaving the In- dians with a 4-1 conference record and a mark of 8-3 over- all. The season went well though. Northeast proved that they could play in the SLC. John Holman surpassed and set many records, and most important, Northeast made the transition of play- ing in a conference again. Southern Miss. Northeast opened up the season on the road facing Southern Mississippi, one of the best defensive teams of 1981 at Hattisburg, Miss. The tribe lost the contest 45-27 to the heavily favored Eagles. Collins and his staff had three main concerns going in to the season opener; the run- ning game, the kicking game and the defense. These con- cerns proved to be big ones as USM totaled 417 yards against NLU, 334 on rushes, and 83 on four pass comple- tions in 10 attempts. Collier, — USM’s Heisman trophy can- didate, hurt the Indians re- peatedly with big plays, in- cluding runs of 39 and 25 yards and passes of 46 and 25 yards. NLU’s punt coverage proved to be weak when Louis Lipp returned a punt 50 yards for a touchdown early in the third period. The TD occured when NLU was only four points back of USM. The Ea- Defensive minded Ricky Sanders (38), led the Indians in tackles in 1982. gles had a total of 97 yards on punt returns. Ben Simmons made field goals of 52 yards (a school re- cord) and 40 yards in three at- tempts, boomed two kickoffs into the endzone for no return and had a well executed on- side kick that was recovered by NLU, but unfortunately, was wiped out by an offside penalty. Holman completed 46 per- cent of his passes, 19 of 41, for 271 yards. Joey Evans and Dewayne Robison each had four catches and Alfred Kin- ney three including one for a 32 yard TD. NLU had a total offense of 356 yards and the tribe’s 27 points were the most scored against USM, who was num- ber one in the nation in scor- ing defense in 1981, allowing 8.1 points per game, since Au- burn scored 31 in 1980. Nicholls State It isn’t often that a football squad’s defensive unit outs- cores the offense, especially when you have an offensive team as prolific as Northeast Louisiana’s, but that’s how NLU got its first victory of the season. The Indians beat Nicholls State at Thibodaux, 29-14. Once again the Indian spe- cial teams showed a weakness in defensing punt and kickoff returns. The Indians didn’t allow any return touchdowns at Thibodaux, but the Colo- nels came close to breaking several runbacks, getting 23 yards on two punt returns and a whopping 177 yards on six kickoff returns. John Holman, despite the rains that fell throughout the day, threw the wet ball 36 times for 17 completions and only one interception, gain- ing 263 yards. Receivers The offensive unit of a football team has many parts, and each part has its own re- sponsibilities. At Northeast, the offense is primarily that of an aerial attack, although the running game improved steadily by the strong play of Dewayne Robinson at tail- back and Feotis Moore at full- back. The Northeast defense held oppo- nents to just 216 points while the In- dians scored 313 points, a 28.5 point per game average, in 11 games.

Everyone, re- turning players as well as new recruits, came to work, sweat, practice and learn new plays under the high heat and hu- midity. There were 118 men trying to make a starting unit and three weeks later, the new squad numbered 112. Before joining the football team, players must prove sat- isfactory in completing five physical check-ups at the be- ginning of fall practice.

Northeast defenders surround and take down a USL Lion. “Tt takes outstanding speed, good hands and cour- age to be a receiver,” said re- ceiver coach Norman Joseph. “Size is semi-important. If you look at Tag Rome, Alfred Kinney, and Bobby Lewis you will not see outstanding size, but they all have had great ca- reers.” At the start of every new season, Joseph stresses to the receivers the vital points of running discipline routes, learning the system of North- east plays, and learning to read the many different de- fensive coverages the opposi- tion may use. In 1980, the Indians went with a new type of offense that involved the pass. North- east will usually throw two- thirds of the snaps from cen- ter. “We went to this new of- fense with the idea of spread- ing people out, opening up the pass and getting the de- fense geared to the pass and then opening up our running game,” said Joseph. This new philosophy worked well because the op- posing defenses were stunned by the Indian’s change. In 1981 the idea worked in the opposite direction; it led to an over abundance of passing and not enough running. New in 1982, coach Joseph feels like the new style is starting to settle in.

The football team may have chased a more fearsome gob- lin on Oct. 2 than any that ever haunted the Indians on Oct. 31. That Saturday night, the Indians ended a 13-year long jinx when they defeated McNeese, 35-21. It was the first Indian win over the Cowboys since 1968 and the first triumph in Monroe since the school started playing senior college football 32 years ago.

They haven’t won all of them that way, but they won enough with late rallies to make Indian fans feel at the beginning of the last period like a 10-year-old kid taking his first step into a haunted house. But Saturday night, it was the Indians who were doing the fourth quarter haunting, not the Cowboys. Northeast broke a 21-21 tie with 3:08 to play when fullback Greg Huskey bulled over from the two-yard line. They tacked on another TD for insurance with 20 seconds left when John Holman hit Bobby Lew- is with a 28-yard fourth down pass. Not only did Northeast break the McNeese spell, but the Indians also extended their winning streak to four games and increased their spotless Southland Confer- ence mark to 2-0. The win protected and im- proved NLU’s standing in the NCAA Division I-AA poll, from No. 10 to seventh. NLU had taken a 14-6 lead in the second period by cash- ing in on a blocked punt and fumble recovery, both inside the McNeese 20 and both by second string end Glenn Egan, but McNeese drove for a TD late in the period and made a two-point conversion to tie the score at 14 all. That’s the way it stayed until early in the fourth when Northeast drove 82 yards and scored when Huskey, a second teamer who led the Tribe with 53 yards rushing, went over from the one. Quarterback Holman had another big night, completing © 25 of 54 throws for 350 yards and two touchdowns. He was at his best in NLU to long scoring drives in the fourth quarter. é There was also a flock of - defensive stars: linebacker Ricky Sanders, who led the team with 12 tackles; Mike — Howard, who tied a school re- cord with three interceptions; and Glenn Egan with his blocked punt and fumble re- } covery.

Maybe so, but it also de- | scribes the October “North © Louisiana Super Bowl” be- tween NLU and arch rival Louisiana Tech in Northeast’s _ Malone Stadium. | Despite heavy rain, a record — Malone stadium crowd of 23,940 fans turned out to see a tense struggle whose outcome wasn’t decided until the final seconds. After being stopped at the Tech one yard line in the first quarter, NLU was down 7-0 at the half but surged into the lead in the third period on a one yard TD run by Feotis Moore that ended an 81 yard drive, and a 46 yard field goal by Ben Simmons. But Tech regained the lead with a con- troversial touchdown and then a field goal in the fourth ‘uarter. Following the field goal, NLU drove from its 17 to the ‘ech two, mainly on the pass- ag of John Holman, who be- ame Louisiana’s all-time assing leader in the game. Jn first down, Dewayne .obinson swept the right side or an apparent touchdown ut NLU was penalized five ards for illegal motion. Then wo plays later, James Thax- bn intercepted a Holman ass in the end zone with 30 econds left to dash the tribe’s lopes. The loss ended a four-game inning streak and undoubt- ‘ily cost NLU its number even ranking in the division AA poll. It also knocked the idians out of the lead in the suthland Conference race, ut Collins said a league title ad national playoff opportu- ity were “still in the pic- ire. | Arkansas State Playing against the number two rushing team in the na- tion, the Indians kept their Southland Conference title hopes alive with an impres- sive 31-21 victory over Arkan- sas State. The tribe added a good run- ning attack and a solid kick- ing game-something that’s been only occasionally pre- sent this fall-to their winning recipe. NLU, who went into the game ranked 16 after the loss to Tech, was now number 11, 3-1 in the SLC and 5-2 overall with only one league game left. a Feotis Moore had the best night of his career, carrying 12 times for 102 yards while Dewayne Robinson had 19 for 73 as NLU rolled up 204 yards on land, their best pro- duction of the year. Holman, meanwhile, com- pleted 17 of 33 throws for 187 yards, and two touchdowns. People called it an “off night” Eric Hanson which is a pretty eloquent il- lustration of the standard the quarterback has set. His passes of 13 yards to Bobby Lewis and 37 to Bobby Craighead gave him a career total of 41 touchdown passes, the second highest total by a Louisiana quarterback. Defensively, the Indians did a good job of containing the ASU wishbone attack; ASU had 226 yards rushing but had only 72 in the last half. Last year ASU rolled up 410 ground yards on North- east. Offensive line John Holman is a great of- fensive talent. In 1982 he set records throughout the south and became one of North- east’s leading players. Hol- man would be the first to ad- mit that much of his success is due to the offensive line. The line gave Holman ade- quate protection and time to Mark Moseley, (37), sacks quarter- back Stephen Starring of the McNeese Cowboys. The win over the Cowboys increased the Indian con- ference mark to 2-0. Gary Patton The Indian operation is a team opera- tion. Everyone is involved in the game, both physically and mentally.

As far as what it takes to be a successful offensive line- man, offensive line coach Howard Tomlinson said, “It takes talent of course, even more so I think it takes loyal- ty and a brotherhood to each other. We are very fortunate in that our group has respect for each other. And after this it takes a lot of size, tenacity, and intelligence. Southeastern NLU’s 605-yard explosion against Southeastern evened some old scores with an old nemesis and at the same time improved its national ranking October 23 in our Homecom- ing game. Southeastern is NLU’s oldest opponent their first meeting was in 1931. Southeastern is also the Indi- ans most frequent homecom- ing opponent. After the win over South- eastern, Northeast found themselves leading the SLC in five categories; total offense, passing, scoring, total de- fense, and turnovers. Holman continued his quest to be Northeast’s top ranked quarterback. The Mo- bile, Ala. senior was fourth in the nation in total offense with 2,206 yards and a 275.8 average. The Indians used 60 play- ers in handing Southeastern its worst defeat since 1948 when Northwestern beat the Lions, 49-0. Wide receiver Tag Rome and defensive back Roosevelt Straughter, two of the many stars in NLU’s 42-0 home- coming drubbing over South- eastern, were chosen to be NLU “Players of the Week.” Lamar Northeast Louisiana literal- ly “sacked” up its seventh victory of the football season in Beaumont, Texas, as it strengthened a hold on the fifth place position in the NCAA's division I-AA poll. NLU scored touchdowns in the first and second periods at Beaumont with John Holman and Alfred Kinney combin- ing on both. Holman hit Kin- ney with a 34-yard scoring pass in the first period and then hit him six yards for the other score in the second quarter. Turnovers by Lamar and key defensive plays by Northeast were the factors that sparked the 14-0 victory for the Indians. Bruce Daigle was named “Defensive Player of the Week.” Daigle wound up the day with 11 tackles including three sacks for minus 28 yards. Jimmy Chandler, was named “Offensive Player of the Week.” + Southwestern As expected, Northeast took a big drop in the NCAA Division I-AA polls after an embarrassing 26-40 loss to USL at Lafayette Nov. 6th. The offensive rankings also plunged, but the Indians re- mained in three national top 10 categories and moved back into the top 10 in another de- partment following the loss. The Indians, held to only 283 yards in its loss to USL, dropped to fifth in passing and ninth in both total of- fense and scoring. The loss did bring with it a new inter- ception total of 24, a new school record, breaking the old mark of 21 set in 1978. Northeast did not play well on offense. In the first half, the Indians took advantage of USL’s mistakes with big plays, but they still did not — move the ball consistently. In — the second half, Northeast came to a stand still.

Northeast left the Trans America Athletic Confer- ence on a championship note last season and be- came one of the few teams to compete in three nation- al championship tourna- ments by going to the NCAA, where its first round game against lowa was carried nationwide on CBS Television. The Indians broke fast, rolling up an 8-0 lead in the first two minutes. lowa led only twice in the first half and NLU was on top, 29-28, at intermission. In the second, the Hawkeyes scored the first nine points and seemed ready to turn the game into the predicted rout but the Indians stormed back to tie at 51 and 52, the last time com- ing at 5:22. But Bob Han- sen hit something of a mir- acle jumper from 17 feet at the five minute mark, fol- lowed up with a three- point play 18 seconds later and Iowa won, 70-63. It was a fine rookie sea- son for Mike Vining, who guided the Tribe to a 19-11 record for the school’s 21st consecutive winning sea- son, to a tie for third place in the TAAC season stand- ings, to the league tourna- ment championship and then to the NCAA. North- east teams had earlier com- peted in the NAIA and NIT tournaments.

Fans hoped sec- ond year coach Mike Vining could fill the leadership void left by the loss of two key re- gulars and improve the work on the boards. The Indians began the sea- son beating a Yugoslavian team that was playing throughout the South. The win was the first in a string of eight consecutive wins in Ew- ing Coliseum. Although the Indians proved to be tough at home, road trips were plagued with losses. By January 26th, the Indians had not yet won on the road (0-7), losing to Southern Mississippi, Arkan- sas, Houston Baptist, Cente- nary, Southeast Louisiana, and a very tough Lamar Uni- versity team. Every one asked the same question, “Why can’t they win on the road?” “Playing on the road is much different than playing at home,” said head coach Mike Vining. ‘Everyone is against you, and at home you have the fans to drive you emotionally. Crowd response is an important factor. Our players must learn to cope with the reverse situations on the road.” The first two weeks in Jan- uary brought with them three consecutive losses on the road. This run of bad luck, plus the loss of Gerald Mor- ris, a big offensive asset, hit the Indians hard and their at- titudes showed it. “We played like we didn’t care,” Vining said. “After losing to South- eastern (third straight) we all come back to the motel and had a big discussion about the team and the problems there- in. The meeting was not a chance for each player to give his views or gripes about the team but about his own play- ing.” The gripe session must have worked because during the next game the Tribe em- barrassed La Tech 66-48. “Tech came to Northeast to humiliate us, but we embar- rassed them,” said Vining. With four minutes left to play the Tech cheering section got up and walked out the door and Indian fans applauded. When the season began, Vining’s major concern was defense. “We were not wor- ried about our offense and our ability to score, because we had three starters back and good players coming off the bench.” But as the season pro- gressed Vining said he may have stressed too much de- fense and not enough offense. Fans keeping up with the Tribe’s basketball style may have wondered why coach Vining always starts Pat Gul- latt (14) and replaces him with Bobby a Billy Heckford (continued on page 159) Terry Martin (43) goes up for the slam.

Terry said, “We always played good together. We fompliment each other. We ‘alk to each other, and most of the time we know exactly Le the other one is going to 0.” Jack, a senior transfer from Arkansas College, is the shorter brother at 6’8”, but is ': strong leaper and plays cen- rer. He can dominate the 0ards at times and is known ‘or his dunks. Indeed, the two styles work well together. “We have a reight advantage,” says Ter- ‘yy, “Jack is stronger and ag- sressive, and he rebounds vell. We run the plays well, ind we just work the boards rarder.” ceca’ Strong family ties contri- bute to how well the two work together. With seven older brothers and two sis- ters, Jack and Terry never lack family support when it comes to basketball. Jack transferred from Ar- kansas College, “because they had me playing behind my brother (Johnny),” he said. After working for one year, he was convinced by teh NLU coaching staff to play for the Indians. He sat out last season to comply with NCAA rules and is now in his final year of eligibility. Terry is expected to be one of the team leaders this year, but says he has learned to handle the pressure. “T have confidence in ever- ybody who’s out there, but if it comes down to needing one basket I wouldn't be shy of taking the shot,” says Terry. I’m going to put in when we need it, and try to when we don't.” With so much talent in the Martin clan, the obvious question is who is the best of all the Martin brothers. Like a true diplomat, and in keeping with the brotherly love of the Martin family, Jack an- swered, “We've all got differ- ent things we’re better in than one another. We're all at our best at the style we play.” -by Stephen Caldwell and David Mayfield. Jack Martin (52) out extends the man from College of the Ozarks.

Sports Movin’ on up Recruits lay up a winning season he Lady Indians may not ever realistically challenge their Interstate-20 neighbor Louisiana Tech for the national title, but their program has greatly im- proved this year. Head coach Linda Harper and her assistant Cassie Ma- cias had the best recruiting year in the school’s history. “With the added talent and the talent we already had on the team our program should be greatly improved,” said Harper. The Lady Indians went from 9-18 to 12-12 last year and graduation losses were minimal. Harper signed Lisa Ingram, considered one of the best prep players in the country and Eun Jung Lee (E.J.) South Koreas’ number one prep X ame. player. Based upon the December 20, 1982 statistics released by the NCAA, the Lady Indians led Southern Cal, the number one women’s team in the na- tion, in scoring offense, aver- aging 93.7 points per game, compared to 92.4 for Southern Cal. In addition, Northeast ranked eighth in the nation in field goal percentage with 52.3 percent. Ingram, the freshman cen- ter, ranked 14th in the nation in scoring with 24.8 average per game, while freshman point guard Lee was ranked eighth in free throw percent- age with 90.5. The biggest challenge for the women is to have a “win- ning season, to win the Southland Women’s Confer- ence and then go on to the national tournament. But be- fore getting there we must continue to win and gain na- tional recognition,” Harper said. On January 13th the Lady Indians gave Louisiana Tech a tough time. Despite an eleven point loss, it was the closest call Tech had since the 1982 Championship final against Cheney State. | One of the most interesting aspects of the game was a matchup between two veteran stars for the Lady Techsters, Kim Mulkey and Janice Law- rence, and two freshmen stan- douts, Ingram and Lee for Northeast.

According Macias, the kind of basket- jall played in Korea is a run ‘nd gun affair, with most nots made on the move from uutside. | Asked about the major dif- “rence between American ad Korean basketball, Lee uid, “Tall girls and jump rots.” The Lady Indians are most iccessful when Lee is able to 2t her passes inside, espe- ally to the 6’3” Ingram. Her asses are hard and fast, often scompanied by a leap or a ike that still catches some of er own teammates off guard ; well as defenders. “She sometimes does not ave the slightest idea where 1e’s going to pass when she imps, does she?” NLU Ath- tic Director and former bas- _)2tball coach Benny Hollis tid as he watched her in ac- on against Northwestern State. On defense, she is a ball- thief, a darting, worrisome flurry of arms and legs who slows the movement of the ball down court and often stops it entirely. She ranked fourth in the conference in steals after eight games, with a total of 22. “She is a smart basketball player, too,” said Harper. “She plays with her head as well as her body.” With Lee and the rest of the team, it is hard to say who adopted whom. “The girls on the team are her family,” said Harper. “She is the type of girl who goes out of her way to know you,” says forward Marie Robinson. “She loves Marie,” said Harper. ‘Marie helped her a lot when she first came this summer. Lee was thousands of miles from home, she could speak only a little English, and she was homesick.” Each of her teammates trea- sure her qualities as a friend. “She cares about everybody,” says Julie Mason, who often shares point guard duties with E.]J. She has endeared herself as both a caring, sensitive per- son and a comic. “She is very sensitive,” said Harper. “She may not speak English well yet, but she can sense when you are down and she tries to cheer the team members up.” “She keeps the team roll- ing,” says Mason. “She’s al- ways patting us on the back and we admire her because she’s got a lot of backbone coming all the way over here from Korea with the language barrier.” -by Mike Albertson South Korea’s top female prep bas- ketball player is Eun Jung Lee (oon- jung-lee).

This year marks the begin- ning of a fresh start for the NLU volleyball program, which last fielded a women’s team in 1980. The Lady Indi- ans will be competing for a conference championship in the new Southland Women’s Conference. Head coach Cherrie Walk- er, in her third season, has high hopes abut the volley- ball program here despite a team record of 0-11. “We're in a new beginning with a new and tough conference,” said Walker. “We got off to a late start, but we'll catch up.” Walker has three veterans returning this season. They are Kathleen Annison, Dru- silla Paul, and Linda DeBar- bieris. Mary Day, a walk-on from Montgomery, Alabama, became one of her top setters. As the team returned back to action, they were plagued with a lot of unknowns and little experience. Of the 15- member squad only seven members had high school ex- perience. “I am looking for a better recruiting year,” said Walker. “We need people with at least two years of col- lege experience in order to be a competitive team.” While there is a shortage of team experience, natural ath- letes are in good supply. Al- most all of the team members were multiple letter winners in high school at track, bas- ketball, and other sports. “We also have a high level of academic achievement on the team, too,” Walker said. “And that is important, be- cause to be a winner, a team player, and a leader, intelli-. gence and the desire to excel are very important.” -by Mi- chael Harris David Clancy Kathy Annison returns a spike by USL.

She was ranked number two in the na- tion in batting average. She blasted in seven home runs, driving in 25 runs and hitting 438. Another top veteran is out- fielder Bette Ward, who was second in hitting with a .333 average, second in RBI’s with 17 and first in triples with six. Catcher Simmons Williams led the team in stolen bases with nine. Cheri Parvino, Lupe Santana, Cheryl McKenney and Marcia Row- land are other returnees. The leading pitchers in 1982 were Kathy Aulds with a 6-10 record and Kim Sexton with a 4-6 mark. “We had a good defense and an average offense,” said Walker. “We were lacking in the pitching and had to sub- stitute Kathy Aulds, who nev- er pitched before, when our pitcher became ineligible to play. Kathy did a fantastic job,” Walker said. Coach Walker opened re- cruiting by signing some of the state’s leading prep play- ers.

The department currently has 28 different classes to be scheduled by students. Ac- tivities vary from the newest class, scuba diving, taught in the natatorium to fencing. Others are bowling, diving, self defense, and condition- ing. Dr. Billy Daniels is the head of the health and phys- ical education department. “We are no different from any other department,” said Daniels. “All general study curricula consists of English, to learn how to speak and write well, social studies, to learn about society, math- ematics, history and health and physical education to teach the student about com- petition and rules of certain games. The general courses also give students a well- rounded education and ex- pose everyone to some type of — physical activity.” The program currently has — 298 majors. Daniels estimated that less than 50 percent of the 298 are athletes. Contrary © to the belief of many, all ath- letes do not seek a career as a coach. “Our courses follow for- mats close to all other classes on campus. We now hand out objective sheets to let the stu- dents know what will be ex- pected of them,” said Daniels. © One difference between health and physical education and other majors is that the� student is able to take some | courses more than one time — for credit. | “The students that take the activity classes usually did not have a chance to compete in high school athletics,” said _ Daniels. -by Scott Unice David Clancy Bowling is a favorite among NLU students as a physical education class.

The Zeta chapter at NLU is involved in many facets of student life. The regional convention was held October 15-17 at the Ramada Inn. This was the first time Zeta has hosted a convention. Almost 100 members attended from LSU- Shreveport, LSU-Baton Rouge, Middle Tennessee State University, Louisiana Tech and Mississippi State. “Take a Ride on a River- boat’”’ was the theme of the three day conference. Sandy Holleman, convention chair- man, and her committee scheduled a fun filled week- end for the incoming chap- ters. It included a boat party Friday night, a fashion show, workshops, a motivation seminar by Robert Charles Payne and a riverboat dance aboard the Twin City Queen. The national convention was held in New Orleans, April 8-10. Zeta’s publicity seemed to be the key factor in the huge success of their fall rush. Events included a formal smoker, a “Wish We Were in Florida Party,” a fifties dance and a jungle juice party. They received 25 new pledges. Katy LeRoy models something defin- ately new and different in this loose style, off the waist dress in gray and red. The chapter held several successful money-making projects. The novelty booths at each home football game are the responsibility of Pi Sigma Epsilon. The six booths are run by two mem- bers each game giving every- one selling experience. The third annual Arts Crafts Fair was held October 30 in front of Bry Mall. Kay Davis was chairman of the fair enti- tled “NLU Indian Fest.” The Zeta chapter is in charge of putting together and selling programs for the Miss NLU Pageant, with the cooperation of area businesses. The pro- gram is the largest project and money-maker each year. Both the chapter and the individual ad salesmen make a profit from the program. As one of their campus ac- tivities, members surveyed students in every classifica- tion for a national ad agency. They presented the ‘Miller Marketing Strategy” on No- vember 4 in Sugar Hall. This was a program on Miller’s climb to success based on their public relations pro- gram. On November 16, Ca- reer Day for high school sen- iors, Pi Sigma Epsilon set up a booth to introduce visitors to the College of Business and their fraternity. This was the second year Pi Sigma Epsilon donated their time and effort for the College of Business Phonathon. | Business 179 Delta Sigma Pi members Ellaine Minsky and Elizabeth Patterson spread the feast for the salad lun- cheon, one of Delta Sig’s fall fund raisers.

Many people are turning to education because of the economy. There is security in knowing the jobs are going to be there after graduation. (continued on page 186) row; Lynn Barton, Michella Blanset!

Students major in education for a variety of reasons just as there are a variety of speciality fields one can go into under edu- cation. Almost all students listed enjoyment and self-satisfaction highly among their reasons. Norman McQueen said, “I wanted to be able to give a part of myself to students and to show them a side of music they may have never learned to exper- ience. I want to show others the enjoyment they can receive from music.” Roy Keene taught tenth, elev- enth, and twelvth graders at Ouachita Parish High School. To him the best thing about stu- dent teaching was working with other experienced teachers who would let him in on the “tricks of the trade.” Students tended to have nega- tive feelings about the National Teachers Examination. They criticized it for not asking enough questions about their specific subject area or being too general. The need for a test to insure quality teachers is obvi- ous but many students felt the NTE was not sufficient. The student teaching require- ment has recently gone from six required hours to twelve but most students agree that the ex- perience is invaluable. -by Grenda Black, Tracy Crouch and Teri Goul 186 Education Mike Shore sein cco eo nea NENNRR NE PI OMEGA PI.

Education 187 Art work Graphic designers color the corporate world W hat is graphic arts? Ac- cording to Webster they are the pictorial arts; drawing, painting, engraving, etc., sometimes printing and process engraving. Graphic artists design logos, book covers, brochures, pamphlets, and billboards. They deal with the more visual aspect of advertising. Job opportunities are var- ied, ranging from positions with advertising agencies to working with clothing de- sign. Many larger corpora- tions hire their own artists to draw up ad slips and design packaging which will look good and catch the eye of pro- spective buyers. There is much more in- volved in a graphic artist's ca- reer than simply drawing, however. He must know what medium reaches which people and to what market his pro- jects appeal. Today’s graphic design artists are becoming more and more involved with computers. Precision is only one advantage. Memory stor- age, speed, and accuracy are appealing to many clients and employers. A new and very advanced option is laser printing which permits pin- point accuracy. Computers now set type and erase mis- takes much faster and more efficiently than doing it by hand on the drawing board.

Children look up to and re- spect the man in uniform. As adults a few interested, dedi- cated individuals choose law enforcement as a career. Northeast offers both an associate of Arts and a Bache- lor of Arts degree in law en- forcment. According to Don Yielding, assistant professor of criminal justice and social work, “The purpose of the program is to provide stu- dents with the theoretical background to enter and function effectively in the criminal justice system which is composed of the police forces, the courts, and correc- tions. We present ideas which teach students the relation- ships of criminal justice to the society in which it exists and vice versa.” Law enforcement majors primarily enter the criminal justice system. Numerous ca- reer options are available to students in other areas in- cluding: institutional correc- tions, as corrections officers or administrators; security, as security personnel for busin- esses and corporations; aca- demics, as instructors; and community service, such as insurance adjustors in arson investigations. In April the criminal jus- tice department at NLU spon- sors a Criminal Justice Job Fair, for criminal justice ma- jors and other interested stu- dents. Police departments and corrections agencies from Coleman signs in upon arriving at the Monroe Police Department to ride. several states present pro- grams showing what they can offer to a prospective employ- ee in terms of salary, job secu- rity, and promotional oppor- tunities. Starting salaries are quite good for those entering the criminal justice system, aver- aging a starting yearly salary of $20,000 in major cities. Many departments have a graduated pay scale in refer- ence to college hours earned. James Coleman, of Delhi is a junior in the four-year law enforcement program. Like most college students, at one time James had doubts about continuing in the program. “I just wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing,” he said. ‘I’ was afraid that after getting out there and riding I would change my mind after coming so far, but after the first week of riding, I knew this was exactly what I want- ed to do. That was it.” “Riding” refers to the criminal justice practicum, which introduces students to actual police work. Open only to law enforcement majors, the course requires 240 hours of riding on patrol, with po- lice officers during the semes- ter it is taken. NLU students are given a choice of working with the Monroe or West Monroe Police Departments or the Ouachita Parish Sheriff Department. James is doing his practicum with the Mon- roe police. During the week he rides 15 to 20 hours. Each week he submits an activity report attempting to correlate sheet practice to classroom theory. James enjoys the prac- ticum because of the variety of the routine and the hands on experience. -by Teri Goul David Clancy Liberal Arts 191 eee |) ness. BAYOU RAIDERS.

The activities and involvement range from a Military Science 101 course to being commissioned as an of- ficer in the U.S. Army. On the basic level, a stu- dent may enroll in a military science course during his freshman and sophomore years. These basic courses do not commission a person into the Army. In these classes, a person is educated in the areas of rappelling, orienteer- ing, survival, military history, and hunter safety. If a student desires to con- tinue his education in this field or is considering the Army as a career, he or she can apply for a competitive ROTC scholarship.

These scholarships pay the cost of tuition, books, lab fees, and $100 per month for each month of the school year. Of course, if a person chooses to accept a scholar- ship, he is then obligated to serve four years of active duty in the Army. ROTC also has several or- ganizations that offer a vari- ety of social activities and professional training. These organizations include Scab- bard and Blade, NLU Rifle Team, NLU Drill Team, Bay- ou Raiders, and the NLU Orienteering Team.

Last year, the first two-day tourney featured Ladies Pro- fessional Golf Association star Jan Stephenson who is a former journalist. Stephenson was paired with Governor David Treen and Miller High Life celebrity Gritts Gresham. This fall, Stephenson donated $1,000 to SDX, matching the profits gained from the tour- nament. The money is used for the James W. Parkerson scholarship which goes to an outstanding SDX member and donations to the National Legal Defense Fund. Another annual project is the speaker’s bureau which is open to the public. Each se- mester, local, state and na- tional journalists are brought to campus to speak on current ’ Cindy Jeansonne I topics affecting the journal- ism field. During the fall, News Star World columnist Oland Silk and Fred Brown of the Memphis Press Scimitar, Associated Press award win- ner for column writing, spoke to society members and jour- nalism classes.

To be in dance com- pany a student must pay nominal dues each semester and buy their own dance wear. “There is no dance major or minor at Northeast, although I am working toward a degree emphasis in dance, said Ms. Stockard. “Some of the dance classes do get a chance to per- form at the annual spring concert sponsored by the dance company.

Performing Arts 201 On their own Few music majors, but orchestra excels he school of music at NLU is able to offer stu- dent musicians an opportuni- ty most universities cannot — that of performing in a sym- phony orchestra with other students. For several years there ex- isted a combined orchestra of student and adult musicians. But with the formation of the Monroe Symphony Orches- tra, there came a separation of students and adults, and un- der the direction of Lowry Riggins, the student orchestra began. Riggins, a member of the NLU music faculty delib- erately made the separation complete about five years ago to make an all student orches- tra. The NLU Symphony Or- chestra consists of about 30 students. An interesting fea- 202 Performing Arts ture about the orchestra mem- bers is that less than half are music majors, and only one- fourth of the many string players major in music. These students participate for their own interest and enjoyment. In order to fulfill the year’s schedule, the full orchestra rehearses three days each week and the strings rehearse daily. The fall semester in- cluded a two-day tour in Ar- kansas and the annual Christ- mas concert. Four perfor- mances were scheduled for the spring, including the mu- sic departments production of the opera Cosi Fan Tutti, and the annual President’s con- cert. Much support and help in coordinating the concerts is given by Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and Delta Omicron, two professional music frater- nities. The opportunity to per- form in a symphony orches- tra, gain musical experience, meet other student musicians and also have fun is not one that many schools can offer. LSU is the only other Louisi- ana University that has a stu- dent orchestra. Riggins emphasized that, “the orchestra is open to all students, both music majors and non-music majors. I feel the orchestra is in existence for the students, and making music should be fun as well as a learning experience.” -by Teri Goul Dr. Charles Weedman takes tempo- rary command of the orchestra dur- ing rehearsals and performances of the opera, Cosi Fan Tutti.

Audiences enjoy two hours of a tragedy, comedy or msuical, and marvel at the sets and ac- tor’s talent. But what about the equally important people backstage? What activities take place before the curtain is raised opening night? Tom Bunch, technical di- rector of NLU’s drama facili- ty, said selecting dramatic productions start a year in ad- vance. “We (Bunch and Direc- tor of Theatre Dr. George Bri- an) select shows starting Feb- ruary for the next school year. Input from students is also used, but our main purpose is to choose plays that will edu- cate the technicians, actors and audience.” In choosing a play, Bunch and Brian follow a format which consists of an original play, a classic, a spring mu si- cal and a work by a contem- porary playwright. “In the summer we present a chil- dren’s play. It’s a good learn- ing experience because the adults have to relate toa much younger audience,” said Bunch. After selecting the play, the crew must start their jobs. “Ideally, we allow five weeks to build a show. Whenever possible we pre-plan a month or two in advance,” Bunch said. Technicians for a produc- tion fall into four major areas. At the top of the list is the play’s technical director who oversees all operations of the play other than acting. A 204 Performing Arts master carpenter assists the technical director and builds the entire set. Next is the design staff which consists of set, cos- tume, and lighting designers. The make-up personnel come under the costume designers responsibility. The support staff includes a master electri- cian, sound technician, cos- tumes mistress, and props master. “There is an average of two people backstage for every person on stage in any given show,” said Bunch. He added “People have no idea what goes on before putting on a show and how many hours of hard work go into it.” Kathy Ledger, who has both acted and worked be- hind the scenes in NLU pro- ductions said, “‘Working backstage gives me the satis- faction of meeting a deadline and anticipating with excite- ment opening night. It also gives me a sense of accom- plishment in doing a job and doing it well.” Although NLU does not yet have a drama major, several courses are being taught which train students to be part of the backstage crew. In the spring semester, classes such as stage lighting, direct- ing, and acting were taught. Currently the fledgling the- atre program is under the De- partment of Communication Arts, but the board of Regents will review NLU’s application for a drama major in April-by Karen Harper.

Each year, members of the Concert Choir tour high schools performing for music students to let prospective NLU students learn about NLU and what is offered by the School of Music. According to Dr. Edward Deckard, director, ‘The choir is well known due to its per- formances through the years. The Concert Choir has per- formed all over the South and was a guest choir of the American Choral Directors Association in the spring of 1982.” David Clancy Robin Jordan found something amusing during the concert. The concert choir performed at Park- view Baptist Church in Monroe be- fore leaving on their fall tour of Ar- kansas high schools. 206 Performing Arts In October, the sixty mem- ber choir toured parts of Ar- kansas, and visited schools which have furnished pre- vious choir members. These concerts consisted of music from the choir’s repretoir and of sacred and classical music. Not only is the tour used to bring students to campus, but it also gives the choir mem- bers a chance to travel and perform for different audi- ences. With each perfor- mance, the choir must adjust to the surroundings and the audience in attendance.

Onward and upward cy school keeps up with technology Gite its inception more than 25 years ago, the Shool of Pharmacy has risen fom a fledgling curriculum i pharmaceutical education 4 one of the largest schools « pharmacy in the country. Dr. Kenneth R. Shrader, ean of Pharmacy and Health Siences and the School of tharmacy, sees nothing but ‘pod things ahead for Louisi- aa’s only state-supported jrarmacy program, including rollment increases and new gree programs. The history of the pharma- © program can be traced to e early 1950’s when Louisi- aa faced an acute shortage of jiarmacists. “The two private New Or- lhns schools in operation at at time were scarcely able to ¢aduate enough pharmacy Jactitioners,” said Dean tader. “A need for a state- _ £pported school of pharma- € was recognized and ex- essed by state pharmacists EPSILON. First: row: oS lt, as elle De : Brigette ler Adelyn Duval, Judy Lyles, ea Russo, Mina Powell, Wanda and other health profession- als. Encouraged by this need and by area civic leaders, NLU initiated steps to obtain a pharmacy program.” The Louisiana State Board of Education authorized the establishment of the School of Pharmacy on August 11, 1956, and the doors were open to the public that September. Twenty students comprised the first graduating class in May of 1959, and in July of the same year, accreditation was given to the program by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education. “In 1960, the curriculum was expanded from four to five years. This expansion was nationwide and permit- ted pharmacy students to re- ceive a more rounded educa- tion in the areas of general education in addition to the traditional courses in math- ematics and physical, biologi- cal and pharmaceutical sci- ences,” he said.

During the 1970's, the School of Pharmacy moved from Caldwell Hall into the newly constructed Sugar Hall. NLU consistently has had one of the nation’s largest enroll- ments in pharmaceutical edu- cation. He added NLU pharmacy graduates are serving the community and _ hospital pharmacies in every Louisi- ana city and parish, most states and such foreign coun- tires in India, Holland, Can- ada, France, West Germany, England and Egypt. “The quality of education has always been good at (continued on page 210) KAPPA PSI.

This is the na- tional focus of pharmaceuti- cal education today.” In addition, the education disciplines have become more specific over the past few years and the School of Phar- macy has been divided into three areas of specialization — the division of pharmaceu- tics and medicinal chemistry; the division of pharmacology, toxicology and nuclear phar- macy; and the division of pharmaceutical services. “The NLU School of Phar- macy was one of the first schools in the nation to re- quire a course in the area of nuclear pharmacy,” said Dean Shrader. ‘This area depicts a growing field of radioactive pharmaceuticals of dosage forms, primarily diagnostic agents.” The division of pharmaceu- (i3 .

Another service offered by this division is the continuing education program, said Dean Shrader. This program pro- vides pharmacists with edu- cational programs which are a pre-requisite for relicensure. “Approximately 2,992 Lou- isiana pharmacists attended 16 meetings held across the state last year, he said. And since January 1,700 pharma- cists have taken a advantage of the nine continuing educa- tion programs. It is believed that NLU has one of the lar- gest continuing education programs in the country.” Segrave, Jeffrey Aldridge, Joe Andre- pont, Isaac Lai, Sal DePaula, Harry Suryakusuma.

The School of Pharmacy has some of the most modern equipment available, but many of the instruments may become obsolete within the next decade. Therefore it is important to keep up with the newest technology. And where is the School of Pharmacy going in the next 25 years? “Upward and on- ward,” replied Dean Shrader. He said that the prospective enrollment for the 80’s looks good. “The American Associ- ation of Colleges of Pharmacy predicts an acute shortage of licensed pharmacists by 1990, and with beginning salaries for most students with a bachelor’s degree in pharma- cy ranging from $20,000 to $30,000, students should look towards a pharmacy degree for excellent job opportuni- ties.” In additional to the tradi- tional positions as a pharma- cist, graduates can seek jobs in health care administration, drug enforcement, pharma- ceutical sales and in the man- ufacturing industry. “This fall another dimen- sion was added to the School's SALPHA.

A bachelor’s |} of science program in toxicol- |} ogy has been established and is one of only five programs | in the nation.” Other future plans include the possible ad- dition of a professional doc- torate of pharmacy degree. “This would be a profes-— sional doctorate degree, not the traditional graduate aca- | demic doctorate that we have - now,” he said. “Of course, | this program is down the road __ and is being investigated as to its feasibility with respect to cost and logistics of such a program.

Me eee wn = = - ‘ M2 of today’s after- noon soap operas are guilty of depicting a highly romantic and dramatic pic- ture of hospital life. The doc- tors are all handsome and rich, and the nurses always have plenty of free time to pursue these doctors or gossip about them. A student pre- paring for a nursing career, however, will soon discover that the life of a nurse is defi- nitely not all play. Nursing is a four-year pro- gram; one and one-half years of pre-nursing classes and two and one-half years of pro- fessional nursing school. Laurie Eldridge of Oak Grove, is in her junior year of the nursing curriculum. Elev- en hours of her schedule are related to nursing; clinicals classified as a five-hour course; and six hours of lec- ture classes. Clinicals are actual shifts at hospitals in which student nurses begin work the second semester of the sophomore year. One semester usually consists of two or three rota- tions, each lasting about a month, so a student does not spend the entire semester in one job or department. Stu- dent nurses at Northeast ro- tate among Glenwood Re- gional Medical Center, St. Francis Medical Center, and E.A. Conway Hospital. Clini- cals are three days a week and student nurses usually work from 7 a.m. until noon. They must report at 6:30 a.m. or 6:45 a.m., depending on each hospital’s regulations. Upon reporting for duty, student nurses take the current report from the night nurse and re- ceive patient assignments for that shift. Student nurses work under the supervision of their school instructors as well as the head nurse of the hospital. Laurie’s very first rotation Clinical is critical Student nurses gain work experience at area hospitals was at a nursing home. She did aid work such as chang- ing bed pans and making beds. With her second rota- tion came the promotion to more responsible duties as well as more work. Laurie ad- mits that being a student nurse is not an easy job. “I’m always busy, always being pushed. Sometimes I'd start feeling sorry for myself be- cause of the heavy load. Thinking about my friends sitting in normal classes while I was taking care of somebody’s dentures didn’t help much. Some students gripe about having to take an 8 a.m. class. When you have to be at “class” at 6:30 a.m., you actually wish to have an 8 a.m. class instead.” As a student nurse, Laurie’s responsibility for her as- signed patients does not end when she leaves the hospital. “There’s a lot of paperwork involved with the clinicals,”’ she explained. “Patient as- signments have to be studied before each clinical. These in- clude charts, diagnoses, and prescribed medication doses and side effects. Care plans have to be written for each pa- tient, also. They take a lot of time to do, and I sometimes am up until past midnight working on the assignments for the next day’s clinical.” There are several different careers a nursing major can enter, but for the time being, Laurie plans to work as a reg- istered nurse and is consider- ing teaching. When asked what she likes most about nursing, she replied, “In pre- nursing the classes were in- teresting but I thought, ‘Big deal, this isn’t nursing.’ What I like most about being a stu- dent nurse is seeing that what I have learned actually does help other people.” -by Teri Goul ie STA EPSILON DELTA.

Through the College of Pharmacy and Health Sci- ences, Northeast is working to make sure that when the doctors call, there will be trained medical technologists on hand. “NLU has the lar- gest medical technology pro- gram in the state,” program director George Roberts said. “Presently there are more than 175 students enrolled in the four-year degree program, and enrollment is steadily growing. “They perform the full range of lab tests from the most routine such as urinaly- sis and a complete blood count to the most complex such as hormone determina- tions, with little or no super- vision,” Roberts said. In addition to running tests that determine the presence, extent or absence of disease, med-techs also provide data needed for doctors to evaluate the effectiveness of their OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY.

NLU graduates in this field are being hired to fill open- ings because of their training. “Many universities don’t have the facilities to teach medical technology courses on campus, so their students don’t get a taste of what it’s all about until their last year in the program,” he said. At NLU, the students get to participate in ev ery aspect of the laboratory before they get to the hospital. The last year of the program is spent in the hospital, with students apply- ing what they have learned. After the year of hospital work, the students can receive their degrees and then qualify to take the national registry exam. This certification sets them apart from people who have less training. They are certified professionals with a degree in medical technology. -by Tammy Rodgers. patrick, Sharon Brinson, Rebecca Ware.

Today’s computer A dominant force in our everyday lives omputers have become a dominant force affect- ing all modes of people’s lives including the time students spend at Northeast. The com- puter has reached such a de- gree of dominance that it was actually voted “Man of the Year” by Time magazine. Taking a tour of North- east’s campus will bring you in contact with many of these computers. All students, faculty, and staff members are confronted daily with a computer. Their association with this comput- er begins with a little plastic I.D. card. SACS (Student Ac- tivity Control System) is a computerized system that regulates many aspects of stu- dent life: dining facilities, bookstore, Indian Bank, and entrance into athletic, SGA and UB events in Ewing Coli- seum and Malone Stadium. The loss of an I.D. card can be a major problem to a student; especially if one lives on cam- pus. Another form of computer- ization towers above students as they pass Ewing colosieum. The new marquis makes peo- ple aware of upcoming events, the time and the tem- perature. Computerization has made banking easier for NLU stu- dents. A 24-hour automatic teller machine (ATM) was in- stalled in the campus post of- fice. With this service avail- able customers can withdraw cash from their checking ac- counts without having to leave campus to go to their bank. Presently the ATM only serves the Libby Pulse cards but in the future other bank cards as well as VISA and American Express will be accessable to the NLU auto- matic teller machine. These are only a few exam- ples of how computers touch people daily. From studying computer science to making a bank transaction; one cannot deny that computers have in- deed become a dominant force in our daily lives. - by Grenda Black and Tracy Crouch Pure Applied 217 ALPHA SIGMA CHI.

Oaring Flight school offers complete instruction G@) Pants a college degree in aviation requires two major steps commonly re- ferred to as ground school and flight school. The first step, ground school, consists of classes dealing with gener- al information of the aircraft itself and the basic principles of flying. After completing the class- room requirements, students must take the mandatory Fed- eral Aviation Administration (FAA) exam. The FAA test in- cludes questions which range from general knowledge of aircraft performance to air regulations involving flight. In flight school students first must fly 20 hours with an instructor to be eligible to receive a dual instruction li- cense. Before a student's ini- tial flight he must pass an oral test administered by a designated FAA flight in- structor. The next require- ment is that a student must log at least twenty hours of solo flight time before he can receive his pilot’s license. Although ground and flight school can be complet- ed simultaneously, most in- structors feel it is advisable to complete ground school first. Northeast offers the ground school program for private instrument and com- mercial rating. With the coo- peration of Fleeman Aviation, located near the Monroe Re- gional Airport, NLU is able to offer a complete flight school. -by Duke McDonald It may be an eve:y day scene for avi- : ators, but this view of Northeast is a ew perspective for most people.

It was established as an out- branch of the Professional Chemical Society to introduce to students the benefits of the professional association. Through their affiliation, stu- dents are introduced to the concepts of professionalism, the American Chemical Soci- ety, the benefits of profes- sional association, and ACS publications. ACS affiliation is also designed to encourage communication between stu- dents and the chemical com- munity and among students in student affiliate chapters. One major benefit is the in- tellectual stimulation that oc- curs when students having similar interests participate in such professional activities. Participation in chapter ac- tivities can help students de- velop important skills in leadership, organization, and communication. KAPPA OMICRON PHI. Front row: Jennifer Reed, Constance Jones.

Student-faculty exchanges have attracted a lot of students, providing a re- laxed atmosphere where stu- dents can get to know faculty members personally. One of the activities that the affiliate program has worked on is an exchange program in which the NLU affiliate will send a represen- tative speaker to a university in exchange for one of its re- presentatives. The society was able to launch the exchange program by exchanging speakers with the University of Southwest Louisiana, hav- ing Dr. A.A. Gallo (USL) as the first guest speaker.

Women now work alongside men in careers such as doctors, lawyers, and engi- neers. One career field women have just recently begun to enter is that of construction. The word “construction” brings images of the sun- tanned, heavily-muscled fel- low wearing a hard hat and sweating away at digging ditches, operating massive machinery, and performing other difficult manual labor. _ However, other jobs exist in the construction business, such as office personnel and site or project manager. These positions are held by trained and qualified employees, both male and female. Women are now discovering the numer- ous opportunities that a ca- reer in construction offers and are enrolling in construc- tion schools in slowly in- creasing numbers. At NLU, 47 men and one woman received degrees in construction in the 1978-79 school year. Two years later, the construction graduates numbered 43 men and three women. The College Placement Council Salary Survey pub- lished in July, 1982, shows that for civil engineering and construction majors com- bined, the number of job of- fers was 2,326; 1,983 offers were for men, and 343 were for women, which is 14.7% of the total jobs offered. The average monthly salary for men was $1,924, while women averaged $1,930. The slow yet steady in- crease in the number of wom- en entering the field of con- struction is due to the fact that there definitely are high- paying jobs available for qualified applicants. Federal law requires companies to employ a certain percentage of women, and as of yet there are not enough qualified Ward Norton, Anthony Michael Hill. Third row: YY, Joel Waller, Jeff Reich, Johnny Hol- ad, John Dunham, Rex Middleton, ohn Nabholz, Greg Verllion, Cedric hite, Steve Pitts, High Stafford, _ Kenneth Link, Jeff Smith, Carl Smith women to fill this percentage in the construction field. Ac- cording to one construction company representative who travels to universities all over the country to interview sen- ior construction majors for employment, it is more diffi- cult for larger companies to obtain female employees be- cause their positions usually require constant relocation and travel. Most women pre- fer to work for local compan- ies that do not require exten- sive traveling or moving. Senior Lisa Konopinski, of Barrington, Ill., will graduate from the School of Construc- tion this year. Lisa began her studies in architecture in IIli- nois, then transferred to Northeast when she received a scholarship in construction. With a Construction degree, Lisa can begin her career in Estimating or Project Man- agement. Starting salaries for jobs such as these vary from $18,000 to $22,000 a year.

In some countries it is against the law for women to work or even drive a vehicle. A com- pany would be unable to uti- lize female employees in places such as these. Despite some drawbacks, the con- struction field offers excellent opportunities for women.

At NLU a student must portray a high standard in these qualities in order to even be considered as a mem- ber of Alpha Lambda Delta, Mortar Board, or Phi Eta Sig- ma. The main purpose of these organizations is to ac- knowledge the outstanding accomplishments of the stu- dents involved, while allow- ing these students to fill a ser- vice roll in their surrounding community. Dr. Martha Upshaw com- mented, “Alpha Lambda Del- ta serves an important role not only in the members’ col- lege lives but also in their fu- ture. It makes them aware of the importance of scholastic achievement and the affect it has on their careers.” In order to be accepted as a member of Alpha Lambda Delta, one must be a female with a cu- mulative grade point average of 3.5 or above. Phi Eta Sigma is an organi- zation primarily for males 224 Service who have maintained at least a 3.5 grade point average. Stu- dents must attend college full time for one semester befor e being considered for mem- bership. Dr. Charles Johnson explained, “Phi Eta Sigma is strictly an honorary organiza- tion for students carrying a full time load.” Dr. David Byrd described Mortar Board as ‘’an honorary senior service organization looking for a place of ser- vice.” The members are cho- sen by selective process with character, extra curricular ac- tivities, and grade point aver- age being considered. Dr. Byrd said, “The underlying purpose of Mortar Board is to attract good students to NLU; this being obtained by keep- ing the scholastic reputation of Northeast on a high plane.” Obviously, it is not easy to obtain the qualities necessary to be in one of these organiza- tions.

It’s most interesting and has grown into much more than I thought it would,” he said. “It’s a 24 hour position and you're on call all the time.” Foreign students are seen as unique individuals to Robert- son.

To aid in eliminating the lan- guage barrier, an “English as a Second Language” program exists. Director of the pro- gram is Yves Verret. The pro- gram is designed on four lev- els: beginning, intermediate, and two upper levels. Al- though students can test out of the program it is widely used by foreign students. “It’s an excellent program.” said Robertson. “Students who come here and know abso- lutely no English and start off in this program can increase their English abilities and be taking regular English classes in two years.” Both Settle and Robertson feel the influx of foreign stu- dents can greatly aid the uni- versity. “I think it’s great,” Settle said. “Every institution should go through some type of nationalization.” THAI STUDENT ORGANIZA- TION: First row: Amornrut Boon- sermsuwongse, Kesanee Krasaeyan, — “If American students on campus were just spurred to think about what they’re missing if they don’t develop a friendship with a foreign student,” Robertson said. “Foreign students want to give.” Settle also feels the country can be aided by this campus learning experience. ‘The United States is considerably ignorant of international cul- tures,” he said. The inter- change of cultural informa- tion in his estimation, can help all individuals involved. Settle’s greatest concern for the foreign students is accep- tance. “I would hope that in- ternational students are ac- cepted and allowed to partici- pate on campus,” he said. “An international center would help individuals to meet and feel comfortable,” he said.

Being in such close contact with foreign stu- dents, Robertson has had the opportunity to study them closely. He has learned many things from his relationships. “I suppose what I have found most from foreign stu- dents is their eagerness to learn and how much they want to give,” he said. “They give so much to me for the little time I can give to them. You can’t measure the amount of appreciation they give you.” The greatest surprise from this year’s foreign enrollment is the leading representative. For the first time Malaysia leads other countries with 48 students. “It was surprising and was the first time this has happened,” Settle said. Hong Kong, Iran and Tawian, the usual leaders follow Malaysia with 41, 41, and 37 students respectively. Foreign students mainly at- tend universities in the Unit- ed States because of the avail- ability of higher education said Settle. “Only a select few have the opportunity in inter- national countries,” he said. “You have to be almost a ge- nius.” Due to these educa- tional limits an estimated one-million international stu- dents are expected to enroll in U.S. universities in the next decade. “In the future all universi- ties are going to be more in- ternational,” said Robertson. “Northeast’s future looks very bright for international growth. -by Liz Vercher James Robertson, International Stu- dent advisor, looks over a small part of the mounds of paperwork that comes through his off ice with Telitha Doke, graduate assistant.

At the beginning of the fall semes- ter, each resident hall elects one representative per 100 residents to serve on the RHA. The RHA has an execu- tive board consisting of three officers that are elected from the RHA body. The 1982-83 officers are Mickey Bennett, president; Donna Sims, vice president; and Randi Dick, secretary. The RHA has two student advisors that are ap- pointed at the discretion of the Director of Housing. The current RHA advisors are De- anna Dunham and Garry Graves. The RHA is responsible for planning a variety of activi- ties throughout the year and making suggestions concern- ‘ing the housing program. The RHA has four standing committees. The Student Welfare Committee is respon- sible for discovering and rec- ommending improvements which affect the residence halls. This committee spends most of its time investigating and correcting student com- plaints. The Planning Com- mittee is concerned with or- ganizing and arranging all RHA activities. The Publicity Committee is responsible for publicizing all RHA events by means of the Pow Wow, KNLU and banners. The Campus Dining Committee is in its first year of existence. The committee was organized to serve as the student voice in providing suggestions for improving campus dining fa- cilities. The committee has worked in conjunction with the University Food Service Joel Waller Committee in solving prob- lems. The RHA has been in- volved in providing many of the needs and comforts for dormitory residents. The RHA worked to get the mod- ern washers and dryers that are now in use in the resi- dence halls.

At least it’s not where North- east’s youngest dormitory house director is concerned. Twenty-year-old Bill Marchbank certainly seems to possess all the ingredients of a capable house director- including maturity. A native of Monroe, Marchbank came to North- east 2 years ago to major in business management. He spent one of those years as a resident assistant in Sher- rouse Hall where Sue Ed- wards was his house director.

Supervising more than 400 students and 12 RA’s is a de- manding job that certainly cuts into Marchbank’s study- ing time. He says that budget- ing his time is the key. “I have to spend alot of time just being around the dorm, and I use that time to do a lot of reading,” he said. Since his job requires him to be available on weekends, he does not get to see his fam- ily as much as he would like. ‘My parents, brother and sis- ter miss me sometimes and I miss them too, Marchbank said.

The SGA is the voice of the students at Northeast. Be it an issue of students’ rights, privileges, or property, the SGA is the organization that has the power to “get the ball rolling.” Its’ first priority is equal service to all students; with no regard to nationality, religion, or social standing. Jack Curtis, SGA V.P., said, “The purpose of the SGA is to serve as a body, to represent the majority of students’ in- terests with, of course, the mi- nority of students always in mind. It is also to promote students’ interests on campus and to help better basic stan- dards in all areas.” The SGA has been en- dowed with strong student leaders. The senate is striving to work together as a body for the students. “Together” is the key word. By avoiding in- ner strife among the council, the SGA can indirectly save the students’ time, money, and also work toward more accomplishments. Twice in the last two years, the Senate formed a constitu- tional convention with the main idea of providing a checks and balance system between the senators and ex- ecutives. Each constitution 250 Service was passed by the student body, but both were then ve- toed by the faculty and ad- ministration. “Serious con- sideration is being given to again form a constitutional convention,” said Curtis. Sen- ator Andy Taylor hopes to see NLU equal Louisiana State University students in the area of controlling their stu- dent government and deci- sion making in the interest of the entire student body. “Northeast, in my opinion, has the most restricted stu- dent government organiza- tion in the state of Louisiana; this organization is being re- stricted by the faculty and ad- ministration,” said Taylor. Because of the deficit many cut backs were made for the fall semester. Cut backs in- cluded reducing the free speaker series, and money disbursements to individual committees within the Senate. The main cuts in spending were made by reducing the office secretary's hours, and the reduction of the execu- tives salaries. A major problem that faced the Senate this year was stu- dent apathy. Curtis said that when the individual Senators’ attitudes begin to change, then a change in attitude will take place among the stu- dents. He noted that students are beginning to take notice of their SGA. In the words of Jack Curtis, “This administration is at- tempting to make a 360° tur- nabout, to give the students at Northeast a more optimistic view of their SGA.” - by Grenda Black vecretary Margaret Palastra, from Treasurer Greg Webb, from West Washington, D.C., answers questions | Monroe, announces his report to the Juring spring elections. senate.

Talented squad takes honors at national camp he Indian Cheerleaders were one of the top ten squads at one of the largest summer cheerleading camp in Memphis, Tenn. More than 2000 cheerleaders participated in the camp. The honor of being a NLU cheerleader does not come easily. Out of approximately 50 people trying out, only 12 can make the squad. Tryouts are based on individual per- sonality, audience appeal, and mandatory stunts. The wom- en have to present a dance routine illustrating their gracefulness, poise, and dis- position, and the men present a routine showing their strength, masculinity, and various abilities of coordina- tion. 256 Spirit Once selected the chosen cheerleaders must put in nu- merous hours of hard work and practice. The squad prac- tices an average of nine hours a week. During these hours, they strive to perfect dances for pep rallys, chants, cheers, pyramids, and stunts for the upcoming ballgame. The cheerleaders are re- quired to attend all away games, and always travel to- gether, thus developing a close friendship. The advan- tages of being a cheerleader include not only the travel and friends you make, but also include a_ scholarship that pays room and board for two semesters. -by Duke Mc- Donald Billy Heckford A brave mascot “B eing Chief Brave Spirit is not just a weekend job.

A person with a great deal of determination, patience and leadership ability is re- quired to organize such a group of girls. In 1981 a young woman came to North- east to fill the position as Warbonnet adviser. Since that time, much of the spirit and drive of the Warbonnets can be attributed to one special lady: Cissy Faulkenberry. Before being employed by Northeast, Faulkenberry was — the adviser to the Haughton Highsteppers in Haughton.

It’s a time when freshmen guys are thinking about what fraternity they like the best, whose jungle juice has the most Crystal Clear, and whose Rush Girls are the most flirtatious. It is a time when the guys try to score brownie points with their favorite fraternity and it’s a time when some guys show how naive they really are. Take Ralph Dozi for instance. He’s as naive as they come but he really wants to get into the “Greek Life”. Ralph is your untypical fresh- man. He’s short, extremely closet prep, has only shaved three times in his life and is suffering from a premature receding hairline. Follow Ralph as he takes you through two nights of Iphelta Thi’s rush. 7 p.m. ’’Time to get into the shower. Lather up, rinse off my Head and Shoulders and think about what I'll wear. What should I wear? I know. I'll wear my green polo shirt, pink Izod button down with my green, yellow and pink plaid DeeCee pants. I rinse my hair and cry as I see all those hairs sucked into the drain. By the time I’m 21, I'll be a Yul Brenner look alike. With my microphone soap- on-a-rope I sing the Cars hit song “Let’s Go” (off tune of course). Let’s go! I like the night life, baby! Yikes! Cold water. Where’s the hot water!

I'll just sit here on the the steps and wait for a while ... Wow, they still haven’t shown up. I must be in the wrong place.” Ralph Dozi - a naive fresh- man. All he can think about is what if he made another mis- take. Maybe he’s supposed to be somewhere else. What Ralph doesn’t know is that he has stepped into another time and another dimension; a di- mension of space. A dimen- sion that will shatter any sub- stance of things and ideas.

But a normal dictionary is not as complete as the following Greek dictionary with more than 30 entries on what Greek life is really like. Greek life starts with a for-. mal rush which is a series of parties in order to get pro- spective pledges, and if quota is not met the sororities have an open rush. During this time the rushee, who is some- one coming through rush, at- tends rush parties given by the sororities or fraternities. The fraternities call their par- ties smokers and they drink a concoction called jungle juice. Silence is enforced during this time which means no ru- shee can talk to an active out- side of rush parties. A rushee might get a bid, which is an invitation to a preference par- ty. Following that, the rushee decides whether to pledge. A pledge is someone who has not formally been initiated. After one semester pledges are initiated and become an active. Socials and Greek Week are times when both fraternities and_ sororities From Alpha to Omega even the Greeks had to learn their terminol- ogy to communicate. come together to have a good time and meet new people. Though sororities and frater- nities have something in common they have their own unique characteristics. Sororities, or female “‘sis- terhood” organizations, are regulated by the Panhellenic Council. The council consists of representatives from each of the sororities on campus. During the first three weeks of formal pledging, the ac- tives pick pledges each week that they will write to and take out to dinner. These ac- tives are called a Rose Buddy, a Sun Buddy, or a Pink Pan- ther Pal. After this period of time, the pledges receive a Big Sis who watches over them, gives them special gifts, and helps them study. Fraternities are “brother- hood” organizations regulat- ed by the IFC-Inter-Fraterni- ty Council. Prior to rush, the fraternities nominate and vote on girls to help support the fraternities during rush parties. These girls are called rush girls. The fraternities have alumni who are gradu- ates and these alumni help the fraternities throughout the school year. -by Bethanne Arnold Terminology 267 Sa? . ee ee a. — «Aas at ALPHA OMICRON PI: First Row: Lisa Mayer, Tracy Boies, Kristen Anderson, Jany Champagne, Ashley Mingledorff, JoEllen Ezell, Alison Garrett, Kelly Ripley, Kathy Brakefield.

Each fraternity and sorority entered the an- nual competition with Kappa Delta taking first place in the sorority division and the President’s trophy for best display on campus and Kappa Alpha placing first in the fra- ternity division.

Each sorority costs approxi- ately the same amount. On he whole, sororities charge pproximately $20 for dues, ive or take a few dollars. hese dues pay for such hings as the upkeep of the hapter room and furniture or the chapter room. Pledges pay a fee at the be- inning of the semester hich range from $25 to $40. his money pays for an ac- ive’s pin and for initiation. here are also miscellaneous tems that each girl can buy such as party pictures, jer- sey 's and any other individual sorority items. During the year, actives purchase gifts ‘or Big Sis-Lil’ Sis week. Being in a fraternity is more expensive than a soror- ity strictly because fraterni- ties pay for a house. The dues, which help pay for the up- keep of the house, range from $20 to $40 for pledges, and $35 to $55 for actives. Actives who live in the fraternity house pay an _ additional amount of money for rent. Each fraternity sponsors so- cials with each sorority. Fra- ternity members also have the option to purchase party pic- tures, jersey’s and other fra- ternity related items. Each fraternity and sorority is a member of a national chapter to which they are re- quired to pay a national fee. Without the paying of these dues, the fraternity or soror- ity may have its charter re- voked or may be removed from campus. As the times grow harder for the average American, so it also does for the Greek sys- tem. In the past years some organizations have been un- able to pay their chapter dues and also their house note. These hard times have caused financial difficulty for some campus Greek organizations and has caused hard times for some campus organizations. Even with these expenses, fraternities and sororities still tend to be one of the most popular organizations on col- lege campuses today. The in- dividual organizations spon- sor parties and other activities exclusively for its members and their guests. These par- ties hold some of the best memories for college students and according to Greek mem- bers “well worth the price.” - by Bethanne Arnold. Due to chapter difficulties the own- ers of the Sigma Tau Gamma house were forced to vacate during the summer and the first four weeks of the fall semester. Fall Rush is one of the Greeks most important and expensive events at which they sponsor parties and ac- tivities to attract pledges. Members of Alpha Omicron Phi entertain at one such party.

The Pikes, who were renting a house across the street from the Kappa Sigma house, pur- chased land across the street from the rent house with the help of Alumni and began the slow process of paying for the land. According to Pike presi- dent, Tommy Walpole, “For each event we sponsored to make money, we set aside a certain amount of money to go toward the land payment.” With the beginning of the fall semester, the Pikes were ready to begin looking for a house to put on the newly ac- quired land. With the Alum- ni’s help, the Pikes found a house through Day Moving Company. “we purchased an older house because of eco- nomical reasons. This way we can pay for the house and the land will belong to the Uni- versity,” said Alumni spokes- man Mike Cruse. On October 28 at 6 a.m. the time afrived to move the house to the acquired land. With police escorts, the mov- ers pulled the house out from its previous foundation on Filhiol and began its trip down DeSiard over Edgewater Dam and down fraternity row to its newly purchased resting place. The Pikes saw a dream of years come true and began making plans for remodeling and partying to come. -by Norman McQueen With the arrival of their new house, Pi Kappa Alpha began anew chapter in the history of their fraternity.

Size not a factor Pes at Howard Uni- versity in January of 1920, Zeta Phi Beta was estab- lished to provide a sister orga- nization to the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity. Founding mem- bers thought the campus would prosper from a true sister organization. Zeta Phi Beta was founded on the principle to change the stereotype of sorority life. Its four goals are to develope finer womanhood, higher scholarship, serve all man- kind and show the true mean- ing of sistership.

In our case, NLU not only sur- vives but excels with the talented mix of students, faculty, adminis- tration and staff. The administration is involved wholeheartedly in school activities as indicated by President Vines fre- quent presence at various club and athletic functions. The faculty have perhaps the most important duty in educating enrolled students, while the stu- dents themselves, the major reason for a school’s existence, get in- volved in studies, part-time jobs and extra-curricular activities. _ From the nervous freshman in _ his first semester of college to the — knowledgeable administrator at ease with his duties, the people of this university have a special pur- pose in making it exceptionable. 291 ivision Trendsetter A speaker unlike all others dith Kirkpatrick, a mem- ber of the Louisiana Lvard of Regents, was the fea- tured speaker at summer commencement in August of 1982.

Billy Heckford Big Chief He’s more than president | eae Vines is much more than president of ‘NLU. He is a vital part of the university and its’ students. Because of this, he takes time to meet one on one with the students whenever possible and makes it clear that his door is always open to anyone wishing to talk with him. Even though his work takes up a great deal of time, Dr. Vines finds time for many other activities. He is an avid tennis player and tries to play at least an hour and a half a day. He also attends as many Northeast athletic events as possible. On top of all of this, Dr. Vines enjoys playing the steel guitar. Vines has been president of NLU for seven years and in that time he has observed a change in the appearance of students. He believes the gen- eral appearance of students is dressier and more neatly groomed. The academic abili- ty of students has also reached a higher level, accord- ing to Vines. Dr. Vines believes the most outstanding feature of NLU is that it provides a convenient and inexpensive way for a student to acquire a college education. He feels that, through scholarships and grants, many are able to at- tend college who otherwise would not. Vines has this advice for students: ‘Don’t let anything interfere with your academic work. Always put academics first. The record of how many parties you attend will soon fade away, but your college transcript will follow you throughout life.” -by Barbara Grigg.

Some of these peo- ple return to Northeast be- cause they realize that what they were looking for was here all along. One of these people is Billy Laird, Director of Development and Commu- nity Affairs. Laird established the first Alumni Center here fifteen years ago. He said the Alumni Association is involved in a great many functions con- cerning Northeast and the community. As there is no set routine to his job, Laird said, “I do whatever President Vines asks me to do.” Some of the things tha t Bil- ly Laird does is help set up scholarship funds for incom- ing freshmen, work with School Services in organizing PREP, Career Day, and Uni- versity Advancement Pro- grams, and help in land ac- quisition for the university.

Grace got the idea for the lass when she heard a speech ‘iven by Phil Tapley on “Lit- ature in Louisiana.” She pok an outline of the pro- osed course as well as a read- g list to her department ead. She was told that the major titeria for course develop- ant was the publication of narticle in the field of study. jo she wrote a critical pape nm George Washington Ca- Amazin Instructor adds personal touch ble, who was a Louisiana au- thor in the early 1800's. She submitted her paper to the South Central Modern Lan- guage Association and it was accepted for publication. With the groundwork done, Grace began getting material togeher for her course. Besides reading works by Louisiana authors, the class involves outside specialists who are recognized figures in Louisiana. For example, Jus- tin Wilson, Cajun humorist, has come every year to speak to the class on various sub- jects with a few “How ya'll are’s” thrown in. Grace also takes her stu- dents on two trips if they opt to go. The first is to Natchi- eg Grace toches for a day where they visit Clementine Hunter, a Louisiana painter who has shown her work all across America. They also visit the home of Kate Chopin, a Lou- isiana writer, and tour the Cane River region. The second trip is down to New Orleans. On the way, they stop in Baton Rouge to see the Rural Life Museum, and in White Castle to tour Nottoway Plantation. Once in New Orleans, they take a lit- erary walking tour which in- cludes St. Louis Cathedral, and the French Quarter. Here, some students get their first taste of cafe au lait and beig- nets at the Cafe du Monde. To top off the trip, the stu- Staff dents get the opportunity to spend the night in a French Quarter hotel. “Every year, I want this class to be better than the year before,” said Grace. “It has never been the same two years in a row.” Currently, Grace is writing the textbook for the course. It is expected to be out in a cou- ple of years. The class is only offered in the fall and is open to all majors for three credit hours.

During his Comparative Psychology class you can expect to wit- ness his rendition of the first shaky steps of a wildebeast calf, the energetic grooming activity of a white rat, or even the dance-like prey stalking methods of the snowy egret. Dr. Haraway’s unique teaching style began when he started his career fifteen years ago. As he explained, “It’s just something I’ve done all along. I try to have a live show for the students. I think a live performance is more interest- ing.” 300 People When not in the classroom teaching animal behavior, Dr. Haraway is out observing it. He is a regular visit to the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo where he has taken part in several major studies of primate behavior. One such study, involving a Sia- mang ape named ‘J.C.”, earned world-wide recogni- tion. He is presently involved in an ongoing study con- cerned with the calling and social development patterns of the Gibbon ape family at the zoo. In addition to doing re- search at the zoo, Dr. Haraway also serves on the Board of Directors of “Friends of the Zoo” and is editor of that organization’s bi-annual newsletter, “Zooviews.” He is also a member of the South- west Psychological Associ- ation and hopes to help form an organization of campara- tive psychologists. Dr. Haraway’s interest in the field of comparative psy- chology began when he was an undergraduate and contin- ued into graduate school, where he was studying clini- cal psychology. He is respon- sible for adding the compara- tive psychology course to NLU’s psychology depart- ment and explains that “The course deals with the behav- ior of animals as it applies to their survival and individual | evolution. It is a partial basis | for the entire field of psychol- ogy because it provides a con- tinuum from which to study human behavior.” Dr. Haraway feels that this can be an interesting class for almost anyone, so if you ever | wonder why ostriches hide their head in the sand, or why monkeys don’t like to swim, sit in on Psyche 321. -by Mike Shore Dr. Haraway does his impression of a “happy rat” receiving water for bar) pressing.

He also served as captain of the team in 1977, and in 1978 was runner-up to the national championship. He currently serves as chair- man of the Southern Amateur Athletics Union and wants to “develop karate on a national level.” Although competition is a big part of his career, Allen wants “to be respected as a judge and teacher.” he gains this respect through his active participation in the sport and his joke-a-day method of teaching that leaves his stu- dents at ease during class. Al- len makes up jokes for the class himself and said that one of his favorites is “I once knew a guy that was so bad at karate that his face always smelled like feet.” Besides telling jokes in class, Bob Allen stresses the benefits of karate, such as physical and mental disci- pline. He also practices what Joel Waller ick in the class It’s easy to learn from a national champ he preaches. Last summer’s national championship came when he was 34 years old.

Although Fresh- manitus seems to have reached epidemic proportions here at Northeast, a cure has been discovered. To be totally free of this disease, one must complete a total of 30 credit hours. Since this cure obvi- ously takes an_ incredible amount of time to take effect, upperclassmen must learn to tolerate the Freshmen. For those of you who are not enlightened and cannot ookies of the It’s easy to spot a Freshman among upperclassmen spot a freshman, here is a guide. A freshman looks like he has just lost his best friend. Freshman girls are easy to spot because they at- tempt to dress up to go to class, including 3” heels (this has resulted in a sever e band- aid shortage in the bookstore), or wear clothing embossed with the school letters or logo. Freshman guys, who con- stantly wear their high school athletic jackets, are equally easy to spot. They are con- cerned with keeping up their macho image and trying to act as if they know what they are doing. (A direct result of this has been many wasted hours spent in the wrong classroom because it would be “unma- cho” to get up and walk out.) Upperclassmen, some freshmen make good friends, and they have their practical uses. If you ever get hungry or thirsty, send them to get you milk and chocolate chip cookies at Hardee’s. Fresh- men are especially handy dur- ing the rainy season. If you ever are walking down the sidewalk during a rain and spot a car coming your way, jump behind the nearest year freshman. Let the spray from the passing car hit the Fresh- man; after all, you are an up- perclassman. Freshmen also make good bridges. If there is a mud pud- dle in your path, just ask a freshman to lie down and you can walk across his back. This way your feet will stay dry; never mind the Fresh- man. If everything else fails, the final and most humane way to treat a Freshman is to simply love him. After all, you were once one yourself. - by Barbara Grigg Ables, Lana-West Monroe Abraham, Tim-Haughton Accardo, Pamela-Monroe Adams, Deborah-Benton Adams, Pam-Bastrop Ahmadi, Mahmoud-Iran Albritton, Paul-Sterlington Alexander, Perry-Baton Rouge Alford, Anna-Mer Rouge Alford, Terri-Farmerville Alleman, Annette-St. James Allen, Brenda-Monroe Allen, Connie-Monroe Alston, Mickey-Lake Charles Amos, Linda-Winnsboro Andrews, Buddy-El Dorado, Ark.

No more mandatory class attendance and no more being last for everything. But wait. There is one obstacle that must be overcome. It stands in the way of every senior who wants to continue his education. It is “The Test.” No matter what the major, “The Test” is there if you want to enter into a pro- fessional program. ‘The Test’ is given every semester on almost every Saturday and may be taken again and again depending upon the score you make. Most students live on nervous energy before ‘The Test” and on doubt and fear afterward. We all have heard of these tests and we sometimes pre- tend to know what they are. When such subjects as the MCAT and NTE are brought up, most of us just smile and nod our heads. Others say, “Oh yea” and then fade into the woodwork.

NY Fontana, Gina-Monroe 310 People Professional entrance ex- aminations are not taken lightly by the students who are dependent upon their scores to help them get ac- cepted to a graduate school. Some students study a month in advance, brushing up on different techniques that have faded with time. Other stu- dents have the attitude of “If I don’t know it by now, I never will.” Both kinds of students probably do about the same on their exams. Northeast offers almost ev- ery kind of professional ex- amination possible. A few of them are: MCAT, GMAT, OCAT; DATP = GREENIE AND LSAT. The MCAT (Medical Col- lege Admission Test) is de- signed for applicants seeking admission to medical colleges which are members of the American Association of Medical Colleges. The GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) measures general verbal and math abilities developed over a long period of time and that are associated with suc- cess of first year of study at graduate schools of manage- ment. It is not a measure of achievement or knowledge in specific subject matter such as economics or accounting. It is required of students pursu- ing a master’s degree in Busi- ness Administration. The OCAT (Optometry College Admission Test) is designed to measure general academic ability and scienti- fic knowledge of applicants seeking admission to colleges of optometry. Test results are considered along with such information as undergraduate records, references and per- sonal interviews. The DATP (Dental Admis- sion Testing Program) is re- quired of all students apply- ‘ing to Dental Schools. The testing program measures general academic ability, comprehension of scientific ability and perceptual ability. The GRE (Graduate Reccj Examination) results are us] by more than 250 gradu schools as one of several f;- tors in admission of stude1s to graduate study. The NTE (National Teaclr Examination) scores are usj in the certification of teachs in Louisiana. The LSAT (Law School 4- mission Test) is a half-dy test designed to predict sck- lastic achievement in ly school and to provide infi- mation about undergraduie preparation of law school ¢- plicants.

Everything is planned except what to do with your two-year old child while you are in class. Hiring a babysitter can solve your problem but that can be ex- pensive. The Co-Op Day Care Center may be the answer. The center is ideally located across the street from Hanna Hall, the Administration Building, and Sugar Hall. It is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Parents can 314 People drop off their children and visit them between classes. Sandy McKissic, director, said there are 52 children en- rolled at the center. She said some advantages are the low cost and the convenience of the center to students. “That was the whole purpose of starting the program.” Susan Kidd brings her daughter April to the center every morning. She likes the freedom she has in seeing April whenever she wants. “It’s not like regular nursery school where the parents aren't allowed to participate in the program. Since moth- ers take care of the children, I know that April is getting good care.” Student workers tend to the children also. Sheryl Stolpa,a Day Care and Management major said, “It’s good exper- ience for me to be working with these kids.” The student worker's re- sponsibilities range from playing with the children to changing diapers and feeding them. They also tie shoe laces, break up fights over toys and wipe away the tears. The program was startec five years ago by the North. east United Campus Minis. tries and is funded throug the United Way. For a rela- tively low cost, infants from € weeks of age to 12 year old children can be close to thei: parents, have a hot lunch and play with other children dur- ing the day. -by Annita Ketcher.

She models for judges in the Mr. Ms. Missis- sippi Bodybuilding Championships. Phetos by Eric Hanson. Pose picture courtesy of Lisa Mitchelson In top form heerleader body sculpts for beauty and endurance omen today are becom- ing more and more con- cious of health and body aintenance habits. They ave become especially con- erned how they want their nodies to look and feel and ure hastily taking steps to- ard their ideals. A relatively new sport for omen is body building, and isa Mitchelson, Northeast heerleader, chose it as her means of staying in shape. itchelson has been a body builder for two years. Her in- erest began when she re- eived a membership to a lo- al health club on her birth- day. “1 work out each part of my body twice a week. I work on my stomach every day. This makes six times a week I work out and I also run three times a week,” said Mitchel- son. Mitchelson has participat- ed in three body building competitions. She placed third in the Bayou State Com- petition held by a local health club, fifth and Best Poser in the Mr. and Ms. Mississippi, and third in the Mid-Central U.S.A. competition. After placing third in the Mid-Cen- tral competition, she qualified for national competition. “I am going to wait for next year though,” she said. “When you are in competi- tion, you lose so much strength because of the diet you are on.” During competitions, Mit- chelson stayed on a strict diet of high protein, no carbohy- drates and low fat. When not competing, she still contin- ued to be food conscious. In body building competi- tions there are three phases of judging. Symmetry, in which the judges look at all four sides and the athletes are compared to other competi- tors. There are seven required poses in which the judges look at musculatory build. The second part determines whether an athlete places or not. “The third part of the com- petition is a music routine. In this you are judged on your poise and it is here you ca n give them your best shots,” Mitchelson said. There are basically two types of women in body building. There are those who have a more masculine look to them. These women are building for body mass. Mit- chelson said she is the other type-one who builds for body sculpture. In body sculpture, you can still remain feminine Mitchelson said. Mitchelson found that body building hepled her en- durance. She is stronger and when she cheers at the games she hardly ever gets tired. “I recommend body build- ing to everyone. You do not have to compete either. You just feel a whole lot better about yourself,” she said. -by Allison Garrett Part of Lisa Mitchelson’s workout in- cludes working on specific muscles such as her hamstrings.

About her job, Gladney said, “T like it. I get to work about class extra duties fifteen hours a week and can arrange it to fit my class schedule, as long as I keep my grades up. If my grades slip, my boss cuts down my hours so I can bring them up.” Some people are lucky enough to find jobs that are related to their field of study.

This job doesn’t put a lot of pres- sure on me. Besides, I want to someday work for the state police, so it’s good exper- ience.” Many jobs available to stu- dents are in the sales field. Roommates Donna Watson and Carole Loftin work at Montgomery Ward. Watson, West Monroe computer sci- ence major, has worked at Wards for six months and en- joys her job. Although she is carrying a 15-hour class load, she manages to put in 16 to 20 hours a week, a lot of which goes to “paying bills and rent.” Her roommate Carole has been working at Wards for two years. A freshman Nursing major, Loftin works anywhere from 20 to 25 hours a week because “I like money more than school. This (job) lets me have a little more spending money.” LaDawn Hill, a sophomore Interior Construction major from Monroe, works at American Handicrafts in th Mall. She has worked there for two years and puts in be- tween 23-25 hours each week “My boss, Pat Scruggs, lets me schedule my work hours here how I want,” said Hill, “She was in school, so she knows what it’s like.” Working in a shop of this kind, Hill has to be fairly knowledgeable about the things she sells. “I’ve had to learn how to do all of the handcrafts in here, but my fa- (continued on page 331) Scott Unice Scott Unice LaDawn Hill (right) discusses needle sizes with a customer.

Mulhearn is another son that works and _at- ds school. She is a senior nagement major and rks 18 hours a week at Spe- Sound, a job that she held for two years. She “the interesting people come in make it an excit- ob. It’s better than being poped up in an office. Be- , everyone I work with is . That makes it fun.” ying to schedule classes d work hours can be h, especially when you're senior. Mulhearn said she to get her classes close ther so she can work de- hours and still have time udy. “I have an under- nding boss that lets me set own hours, so it doesn’t cont. affect my grades that much. Sometimes, I’d rather not work because there are other things going on at school, but I really don’t mind,’ Mul- hearn said. Some students have to work their classes entirely around their job, as is the case of senior corrections major Luke Lensing. Luke is a cor- rections officer at Louisiana Training Institute, a job that he has held for three years. “I get a lot of practical exper- ience from my job that I can apply toward school. Howev- er, | can’t take as big a load as I would like, because I have to go part time,” Lensing said. With a schedule as busy as this, you can imagine that it would hamper your social life.” “I’ve got to decide my priorities between my social, educational, and work life. I can’t let myself get behind be- cause it’s too hard to catch up. It sometimes puts a strain on me, but I can pretty well han- dle it,’ said Lensing. -by Mike Shore Jan Mulhearn goes through the day receipts at Specialty Sound.

I work full-time at night so living in a dorm wouldn’t be practical.” His guest, Elise Davidson, lives in a dorm but enjoys getting away from the crowd by visiting Charlie. Peggy Bingham, Beverly Hamilton, and Frankie Nimmer commute to school by bus daily from nearby Morehouse parish. David Clancy David Clancy David Clancy Living space On or off-campus? or a good many stu- dents, one of the big concerns about college is not what to major in but where to live. The dorms can be fun but at times they’re a bit noisy. An apartment close to campus allows students more independence and freedom but can be expensive and hard to adjust to. Living at home and commuting is fairly inex- pensive but it doesn’t allow students to engage in many school activities. Depending on the person, any one of these lifestyles can prove to be the best. Elise Da- vidson, Monroe freshman, lives in Madison Hall and said, “Although there are many pros and cons in living in a dorm, I think the pros outweigh the cons. You feel like a part of a big family when you're in a dorm. You're whole floor gets to be good friends.” Delhi senior Andy Hazlitt described dorm life by saying, “Living on campus really does isolate college students from life in the ‘real world’. Your awareness of events go- ing on around you is often limited to the next test, the next ball game, or the next party. Maybe this is just what we need; a sort of playpen for young adults. Life on campus is at times the perfect resort life, at other times a three- ringed circus. A student studies in his Olin Hall dorm room as his roommate takes a breather. Katie McArdle, Shreveport senior, used to live in a dorm. She moved into an apartment with a friend because “the dorms don’t have visitation hours and on campus you have to eat in the cafeteria. I like my apartment because I can have pets. Besides, there is no place to put a waterbed in a dorm room.” Pre-Med major Roxanne Liljeberg also favors living off campus. She said “When you live in a dorm, you really can’t study or sleep when your roommate or neighbors want to do something. I like my apartment because I can leave the crowds, go into my bed- room and shut the door and concentrate on my _ school work. Anyway, the campus is close enough for me to be able to join in anything going on there. I guess I have the best of both worlds.” LaJuana Harrell, Delhi sen- ior and Corrections major, commutes to school three days a week. She said “I like living at home. I ride the bus to school so it is more eco- nomical for me to live at home, Besides, I’m married.” Richard Cottrell is a senior and lives with his family at home. He said “Since my family is in Monroe, living at home is the cheapest way for me to go to school. It wouldn’t be practical for me to do anything else.” In a dorm, off campus, or at home- where should you live? It’s a hard choice to make. -by Mike Shore People 339 Abraham, Helene-Lafayette Abram, Patsy-Monroe Adams, Jay-Start Adcock, William-Rayville Ainsworth, Debra-Jena Ainsworth, Shelby-Oak Grove Aitkins, Judy-Bossier City Alderman, Betty-Baker Alfred, Brenda-Shreveport Allbritton, Shari-Hamburg, AR Allen, Timothy-Ferriday Alsahsah, Kayed-Israel Amos, Andrea-New Orleans Anderson, Art-Fitzgerald, GA Anderson, Kristen-Monroe Anderson, Billy-Leesville Anderson, Wendy-Atlanta GA Angelette, Scarlet-Cut Off Antley, Vaughn-Tallulah Anyan, Marky-Winnfield Anzalone, Gary-Monroe Arnold, Vickie-Jena Ashcraft, Fletcher-Monroe Atherton, Scott-Haynesville Atkins, Kim-West Monroe Babin, Tony-Jonesville Bahreina, Hamid-Iran Baiensfather, Jill-Monterey Bailey, Cindy-West Monroe Bailey, Myra-Camden AR Bailey, Pam-Monroe Baio, Victoria-West Monroe Baldwin, Cynthia-Alexandria Baker, Frankie-Monroe Banks, Robin-Monroe Barkley, Chris-West Monroe Barker, Lynn-Franklin, TN Barlow, George-Vidalia Barnes, Beth-Monroe Barnes, Glenn-Monroe Barnes, Randy-West Monroe Barrilleaux, Julie-Lake Charles Barrios, Pedro-Miami, FL Barry, Dale-Monroe Barton, Deborah-Bossier City Basler, Shield-Sandwich, IL Bass, Jennifer-Pelahatchie, MS Batey, Mike-Wisner Baster, Mareglen-West Monroe Bayles, Kayla-Farmerville Beard, Mary Ann-Vidalia Beavers, Rhonda-Tallulah Benge, John-Winnsboro Bennett, James-Marlon Bennett, Wally-Monroe Berry, Abbie-Rayville Bessonett, Phyllis-Pineville Bignar, Deedia-Jena Bilberry, Ann-McGehee, AR Bingham, Roosevelt-Winnsboro Birch, Carmen-Baker Birdsey, Jeanie-Lake Providence Bird, Lisa-Bossier City Blake, Vickie-Camden, AR Blout, Cynthia-Bossler City Bobroske, Tedd-Bristol, CT Bode, Lindy-Tioga Boggs, Mike-Plain Dealing Bobin, Jerry-Bastrop Bonnevar, David-Metairie 340 Sophomores Book, Kelly-West Monroe Borel, Dawn-Casper, NY Bostick, Byron-Columbia Boughton, Billy-Rayville Boughton, Carla-Mangham Boulet, Denise-Lafayette Bounds, Karen-Monroe Bourgeois, Rhonda-lIowa Bourgue, Dwayne-New Iberia Bowers, James-Monroe Boyd, James-Jena Braddock, Greg-Monroe Bradford, Lisa -Georgetown Bradford, Lisa-Shreveport Bradshaw, Lisa-Archibald Bradshaw, Shelia-Bastrop Brandy, Rita-Oakdale Braley, Diana-Bossier City Brandley, Deborah-Tallulah Brant, Patricia-Monroe Brantley, Barbara-Mangham Brantley, Brenda-Monroe Brantley, Barry-Lake Village, AR Bratton, Sharon-West Monroe Brecht, Kent-Buffalo Grove, IL Bressett, William-Columbia Brewer, Johnny-Junction City, AR Brinkley, Brenda-Haughton Brinson, Sharon-Winnfield Brogden, Debra-Pineville Brooks, Phillip-West Monroe Brooks, Yvonne-Bastrop Brossette, Daryl-Shreveport Brown, Alfreda-Ferriday Brown, David-Roanoke Rapids, NC Brown, Evelyn-Monroe Brown, Greg-Bossier City Brown, Ivory-Monroe Brown, Mayr-Alexandria Brunt, Kathy-Monroe Bruscato, Laurie-Monroe Bryant, Karen-Luling Bryan, Michael-Fort Necessity Bucklew, Buddy-Monroe Buie, Carla-Mangham Bullock, Robert-Philadelphia, PA Burian, Becky-El Dorado, AR Burks, Cynthia-Grambling Burnley, Kemal-Monroe Burns, Debora-Sondheimer Burton, Mary-Hammond Caldwell, Stephen-Monroe Cain, Jana-Oakdale Cain, Terry-Monroe Caples, Ricky-West Monroe Carr, Schley-Columbia Carroll, Bob-Tallulah Carter, Alfred-Lake Providence Carter, Perry-Lake Providence Carter, David-Crossett, AR Carter, Linda-West Monroe Carter, Tangola-Baton Rouge Cascio, Mary Lynn-Monroe Cassity, Deanna-Bastrop Castilaw, Dolores-Ferriday Castjohn, Barbie- Hammond Caston, Miriam-Gilbert Caudle, Wayne-Leseville Chambers, Kellie-Slidell Chan, Ka Wah-Hong Kong Sophomores 341 Living in a dorm can be utterly bor- ing unless a little personal flair is ad- ded.

No mat- ter how often you check your watch, it seems as if Mickey’s hands never point to the time for the class to be over. If you can relate to this experience, you will probably understand the form of literature which is known as “desk grafitti’. Even the student who is sup- posedly unable to compre- hend his textbook can under- stand his desk. A bored stu- dent will do nearly anything to pass the time away during class. If the student is not reading the grafitti, the rea- son is he is probably too busy making his own contribution to the collection to notice the handiwork of his peers. In- scribed on the desk is an end- less sea of knowledge. Grafitti is no longer re- strained to “Kilroy was Here.” By reading the desks of today’s classrooms, one can learn the following things: who loves who, who was here when, what the most popular group is, what sorority or fra- ternity member sat here last, and also, some items that this story is not allowed to men- tion. A truly unique saying on one desk said, “This desk is dedicated to those who have died waiting for this class te end.” By the end of their col- lege time everyone should have at least a few desks dedi- cated to them. So next time a class seems unberable, in- stead of wasting the entire time daydreaming, read your desk. It might prove to be a highly rewarding and en- lightening educational exper- ience. -by Barbara Grigg QP WaKER CHAKE “ se eo’ = H People 347 Liljeberg, Sam-New Orleans Lindsey, Scott-West Memphis, AR Lindstrom, Mark-Monroe Linson, Lawrence-Epps Little, Mark-West Monroe Locke, Georganna-Hamburg, AR Loftis, Jim-Haughton Loomis, Johnny-Dry Prong Love, Debra-West Monroe Lucas, Jeff-Warren, AR Lucero, Tina-Shreveport Ludwigs, Linda-Monroe Madden, Mike-Bastrop Madison, Paulette-Franklin Mahgoup, Mahmmed-Syria Main, Tommy-Grayson Mak, Sandra-Hong Kong Mantiply, David-Alexandria Marion, Debora-Mangham Martin, Angela-West Monroe Martin, Cathy-Jackson, MS Martin, Conna-Extension Martin, Michael-Bossier City Martin, Robert-Sicily Island Martin, Terresa-Crossett, AR Martin, Terry-Ferriday Masters, John-Monroe Mason, Deborah-West Monroe Massey, Annie-Collingston Massey, Bobby-West Monroe Mathew, Michelle-Monroe Mathews, Nancy-Belcher Mathews, Sarona-Saline Mathis, Fred-Shreveport Mathis, Scotty-Atlanta, GA Matthews, Victoria-Lake Providence Mattson, Kim-Alexandria Maxwell, Janet-Jonesboro Mayeaux, Gary-Bunkie May, Molly-Grayson Mayers, Tommy-Oak Grove McBride, Dena-Lake Village, AR McBride, Mike-Jonesboro McCaleb, Robin-Winnsboro McCallon, Melinda-Haughton McCants, Phillis-Farmerville McClure, Bettye-Jonesville McCoy, Shawn-Minden McDonald, Duke-Covington McDonald, Jimmy-Winnsboro McDonald, Kay-Hamburg, AR McDowell, Etta-Delhi McKee, Kevin-Shreveport McKellar, Cynthia-Shreveport McKellar, Kathy-Mobile, AL McKenney, Cheryl-Bastrop McManus, Thomas-Leesville McRae, Scott-Ashdown, AR Meche, William-Orange, TX Mehmetoglu, Orkum-Cyprus Micheau, Glenn-Ridgecrest Miller, Carla-Slidell Miller, Elizabeth-Elmer Miller, Michael-Monroe Miller, Tom-Houston, TX Millikin, Cindy-Oak Grove Mills, Anna-Arcadia Mills, Charles-Bossier City Mire, Cleve-Shreveport Mire, Monique-Franklin 348 Sophomores Molloy, Alan-Shreveport Moore, Angela-Hornbeck Moore, DeDe-San Angelo, TX Moore, Julie-Jeanerette Moore, Troy-Shreveport Mora, July-Spain Moreau, Kim-Alexandria Morgan, Carolynn-Monroe Morgan, Cindy-Monroe Morgan, Jerry-Alexandria Morrison, Brandon-Springhill Moser, Robert-Shreveport Mulhearn, Tina-West Monroe Mullican, Cynthia-West Monroe Mullins, Byron-El Dorado, AR Murphy, Anthony-Bastrop Murray, Chip-Shreveport Murray, David-Bastrop Murray, Kelly-Haughton Murray, Stephen-Bastrop Muse, Glen-Lafayette Myers, Tammy-Bellvue, NE Nadaskay, Bonnie-Camden, AR Natt, Edna-Mangham Nellams, Jacquline-Homer Nelson, Glenda-West Monroe Nelson, Janet-Ruston Nelson, Janice-Shreveport Nelson, Susan-Shreveport Nerren, Jana-Monroe Newman, Mary-St. Joseph Newsome, John-Nashville, TN Ng, Victor-Singapore Nicholas, Ray-Mauania, AR Norman, Kay-Rayville Norris, Lisa-West Monroe North, Mike-Pineville OBannon, Laquette-Shreveport OBriant, Jay-Ridgecrest Odom, Anna-Rayville Odom, Sonja-West Monroe Ogden, Brenda-Harrisonburg Onwuzurucha, Ruben-Nigeria Oswald, Mark-Shreveport Oswalt, Judy-Rayville Owens, Lisa-West Monroe Owens, Greg-West Monroe Palmer, Phillip-West Monroe Panzico, Cindy-Monroe Parham, Amy-Mangham Parish, Michelle-Jonesville Parker, Michael-Winnsboro Parker, Teri-Wisner Patten, Tammy-Bossier City Patterson, Julie-Independence Patrick, John-Bastrop Peacock, Jackie-Oak Grove Pedroza, Mike-Minden Peek, Kathy-San Angelo, TX Perkins, Sheri-Alexandria Perrin, Melanie-Lafayette Pesaresi, Ella-Lake Village, AR Peters, Jeff-Lapeer, MI Peterson, Rusty-Bossier City Pettis, Rick-West Monroe Pham, James-Santa Clara, CA Phillips, Joni-Crossett, AR Phil lips;

The answer is PREP Staff. The PREP Staff consisted of 15 students chosen on the basic of their knowledge and involvement in school activi- ties. As a member, one must be willing to give up several weekends of their summer to help countless confused freshmen. PREP stands for Pre-Regis- tration and Environmental Program and is a summer ori- entation session to help pre- pare new students for the col- lege experience ahead of them. During PREP, partici- pants receive a tour of the campus, are entertained by the staff’s hilarious antics, ex- perience the woes of cafeteria food, and, most importantly, make out their fall schedules. PREP provides a way for Pandra Davis, Scott Malone, and Laurie Eldridge perform a skit for in- coming freshmen.

A steady voice answers, “Northeast.” You ask for a phone number and, after a few seconds, it is given to you. The person who gave out the number is never thought of again. She is left with a brief “Thank You” or the sound of a dull dial tone. This person isn’t thought of often, though the service provided is of great impor- tance to many students.

By dialing “0,” stu- dents can have any number on campus. This service is available 24 hours a day, sev- en days a week. Anyone working the switchboard located in the University Police station can tell you that it is a tough job. During mornings it is rela- tively quiet since most stu- dents are in class. The even- ing hours are the worst. ‘The first few hours that I work are the busiest,” said Wanda Chaney, an Alexandria sen- ior. She works the graveyard shift from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. on the weekends. “It can get bor- ing and sometimes a person calls just to have someone to talk to.” Shelia Mathis, a Tallulah senior, likes her job very much. She works flexible hours because, “It just de- pends on when they need me to work.” Through exper- ience, Shelia has found that, “Everybody calls all at once. It’s not that we mean to cut | them short but it can get pret- ty busy.” Needless to say, some stu- dents abuse this service. The 21 operators are not exempt | from prank phone alls. Killingsworth, a | Wi nnsboro junior, said, “The | Diane best thing to do is to hang up. They want someone to talk to | them so I just hang up.” -by Annita Ketcher. Campus operator Shelia Mathis looks up a number for a caller. In the course of his work on the Pow Wow, Tim Abraham often used the campus operator to find a student’s number.

Well, it hap- pened to me. I was sitting in class, doo- dling, minding my own busi- ness, when I hear the instruc- tor say three nasty little words- “research paper due.” Then he said that he has se- lected our topics and we had to draw one out of a fishbowl. That’s o.k. I’m usually pretty lucky. Maybe I'll get to do one on the life of a mayfly. Since it only lives for 24 hours, it couldn’t be too hard to look up. I reached in and pulled out a slip. I opened it up and the next thing I re- member is waking up in the infirmary.

I looked through my purse and found the slip. Yes, it’s true. There it was in black and white, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” It was such a stupid topic. He might as well have asked me to find out what Hitler ate for Sunday brunch and why. After the shock of finding out my topic, another wave of panic struck. I had clepped out of English 101 and 102 and I had never been in San- del library even though this was my junior year. Well, I had two months to do my research so | thought, “No problem. Surely it is written down somewhere which one came first.” Like a lot of students, I put (continued on page 361) Gary Patton off my paper until I realized it was due in two days. I dropped everything and ran to the library. It was like en- tering another world. I wan- dered around for an hour or so before I found the encyclo- pedias. ‘Darn, nothing about the chicken or the egg,” I mumbled. “Maybe in the card catalogue.” I looked at every other card from A to Z. Nothing. I glanced up and saw the infor- mation desk. Pride was the only thing keeping me from going over. “I procrastinated so long I'll probably never get it done no matter who helps me,” I thought. I had heard that the library has three floors so I decided to start at the top. After making the climb, I found myself faced with shelves and shelves of journals. Now I’m getting somewhere. I started on the first row and I looked through every journal on the shelf. When I started the sec- Sandel Library provides a haven for early morning sleepers who rest from tiresome term paper research. ond row, a bell rang and ev- eryone began leaving. I just assumed they were changing classes or something. I glanced at my watch and it said ten minutes to twelve. I had been in the library for fourteen hours. I couldn't be- lieve it. That bell must mean that the library is closing. I continued looking through the journals and a few minutes later someone tapped me on the shoulder. It was a campus policeman. He said, “The library is closing, Miss. You will have to leave now.” “But I’m not finished. I have a research paper due day after tomorrow.” “They are locking up. You have to go.” And with that he escorted me to the top of the stairs. I knew I had to go to work through the night if I was ever going to get my pa- per done. I went down to the second floor and slipped into the bathroom. I heard someone coming so I went and stood on the toilet.

A few seconds later, I was in total darkness. I waited about 30 minutes before I came out from hid- ing. There was an eerie sound of silence and I was scared for a few minutes. Then I realized I was the only one there. | crept back up to the third floor and started looking through the journals with the help of a little flashlight on my key chain. I woke up holding Psychol- ogy Today. What a bum rap. I had still found nothing. I headed back to the bathroom and waited until the library opened. I had only 24 hours before I had to hand in my paper. I finished the rest of the journals in five and a half hours. I was probably the most informed person on campus but that didn’t soothe my nerves any. With my head hanging low, I went down the stairs. I was thinking of a story to tell my instructor about my “missing” paper. I pushed through the heavy door and | ran into one of my class- mates. She asked how my paper was and I said, “It’s great. I’m gonna get an A.” That’s good,” she said and as she started to go through the door I asked her what top- ic she picked.

Trust me.” I turned to go out the door when the information desk caught my eye. I decided, “Why not, it sure couldn't hurt.” I went over to the lady and told her my topic and the trouble I had been having. “Don’t feel bad,” she said. “It happens to more students than you realize because they are too stubborn to ask for help.” Then she said, “Go up to the second floor and find the sixth row of books. On the left hand side, five shelves down, third book from the left you will find what you are looking for.” I thought, “This little old lady has been hitting the sauce.” No one could know every book on every shelf.” Just to humor her and out of curiosity I did as she said.

He’s Dan Robinson and he works in the Elbow Room. Just in case you don’t know what or where the Elbow Room is, it is an area filled with music, T.V., laughter and conversation. A part of NLU for years, the Elbow Room was remod- eled two years ago and is adja- cent to Hardee’s. Robinson has been work- ing in the Elbow Room since it was first remodeled. He plays a vital part in the activi- ties that take place in the He aims to please | room. Robinson controls the projection television and ra- dio stations that are aired. He also chops wood and builds fires in the huge fireplace in the center of the room. In ad- dition to these jobs, Robinson serves as an alarm clock for snoozing students. If they have been asleep for too long, he wakes them up for class. One of the job’s fringe bene- fits is the fact that Robinson gets to watch T.V., talk to people, and get paid at the same time. Robinson said one disad- vantage is that it is hard to please all the students all the time. T.V. viewers often dis- agree with each other as to which radio station or T.V. channel they want on at a cer- tain time. Robinson solves this problem by rotating the channels every other day. “Another drawback is having to tell the kids they can’t eat or drink in the room.” Video tapes of the Music Television, (MTV) programs are made from time to time so. they can be played if the cable ever fails to come on. Robin- son helps with fashion shows and parties that are given at night in the room. -by Bar- bara Grigg | EE ae i | | Bice Dan Robinson adjusts the sound lev- el of the projection television in the Elbow Room.

The first member of the trio to arrive was I.B. Mason, computer whiz ex- trordinaire with a minor in- terest in Philosophy. The sec- ond roommate, Ron O. Mill, arrived a few minutes later. Upon entering the room, he found I.B. sitting in his closet under a portable fig tree “con- templating the intricacies of 368 People the human experience as it manifests itself through the medium of the university at- mosphere.’ Ron merely shook his head and thought to himself “it sure takes a lot of words for him to say that he’s confused.” Later the next morning, about 3 a.m., the third roomie, Arthur (as in the movie) Sea- gram, from Canada, stumbled into the room. “Hi guys, I’m Arthur and boy was there a party.” I.B., groggy and ques- tionably courteous, replied, “Hello Arthur. I am I.B. Ma- son and I must say that it is a dubious pleasure to meet a character of such high moral ineptness like yourself.” Arthur, still fuzzy from his trip to Margaritaville, asked Ron “What did he say?” “He said hi. I’m Ron. Goodnight.” “Ron Goodnight, huh? What a name. Well, I’m beat. Good- night.” As the semester progressed, the roommates settled into a basic routine. Ron and Arthur learned to tune out the inces- sant chanting of I.B. as he “explored the inner realm of his mind and soul” throug T.M. In return, I.B. and Ro became experts in the field ¢ hangover first aid. | At the end of the year, th roommates went their sepey ate ways. I.B.

Girls, right? Even so, the class is loaded with them. Woodshop is a course in the Occupational Therapy de- partment, and there is a large female enrollment in the field. Ms. Lee Sens, founder and head of the department, said, “The purpose of wood- shop is to teach students to make adaptive equipment for patients and to use wood- working as a media to in- crease strength and range of motion in patients.” Sens has been teaching the course for 12 years and said that it helps the students learn basic hand tool skills. But girls in woodshop? Girls can’t do things like that. The girls in woodshop quick- ly dispel that myth. Sens said that, with proper instruction, women can become very good at the skills taught in the class. “When our building (Caldwell Hall) was being re- modeled, several of the pro- fessional carpenters on the job noted that many of the Moore, Lesli-Calhoun Moore, Tami-Ferriday Moore, Walter- Lake Village, AR Moosa, Irfan-Mauritius Moreno, Loridale-Columbia Morgan, Jill-Ft.

Sens explained that some of them become frustrated with their first efforts but, as they gain proficiency, find wood- shop pleasurable. ‘Patience is the key,” she said. Nancy Yohe, Shreveport senior, said of the class, “It’s new to me. I like it when I know what to do, but I get frustrated when I don’t. Now that I’ve learned how to use the tools, I enjoy the class.” She went on to say that woodworking can be good therapy for patient s, and it teaches her how to make de- vices that can help them. The class starts with an in- troduction to the tools and their proper use. Students then gain practical experience in making the various joints that they will use in later pro- jects, such as miters, lap and dowell joints. The last project includes the use of power tools and must include three of the joints that the students have learned, explained Sens. - by Mike Shore Nancy Yohe planes the surface of the cutting board that she made in wood- shop.

Try the bi-weekly meetings of the Twin Cities-NLU Chess Club at the Wesley Foundation. Club president Foley Nash and Gill Martin, vice presi- dent, started the club in Janu- ary of 1982. Since then, the club has grown rapidly to a membership of more than 50 chess fans, 15 of which are college students. “We're all excited about the growth weve found,” said Martin. According to Nash, himself George Speight and Don LaBorde work on their tournament play. They travel to many of the out of town tournaments to compete for the chess club.

Membership to the club is free and anyone with an interest in chess is welcome to join. The club holds tournaments once a month, the proceeds go to ex- penses and cash prizes. Mem- bers also travel to play other clubs all over the state. The Wesley Foundation provides a meeting place for players as well as an area for smaller tournaments. “The Wesley is good because we try to take student enrollment into consideration,” said Nash. Several of the members have played in nationally rec- ognized tournaments. Nash said that ranking is based on a point system. To attain a master ranking a player must accumulate a minimum of 2200 points. Some have rank- ings of over 2100 points, ac- cording to Nash. To earn a rating, a player plays on an already ranked player and is assigned points on the basis of his performance. Club members usually play two different types of chess. One is speed chess, in which each player has a total of five minutes to play. A game is either won by checkmate or by expiration of the five min- ute period. In tournament play, each player has one hour: to complete 25 moves in each succeeding half hour, or for- feits the game. Nash and the rest of the members encourage new players to join the club. Meet- ings are on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons, so if you want to really test your skills against some fine competi- tion, stop by the Wesley Foundation. - by Mike Shore J.B.

She attends classes in the fall and spring and goes home in the summer to work. Her work, however, sets her apart from her peers. Connie is a farmer. In Vicks, La., her home- town, Connie helps her father on their 1,500 acre farm. “Daddy said he needed some extra help so I started work for him,” she said. Connie is no stranger to work. “In May, I put in 12 to 13 hours a day, seven days a week. In June we usually cut down to six days a week. I do everything that everyone else does,” she said. This includes driving a tractor that was a present for her 17th birthday. Connie stayed out of school during the 1981-82 fall semes- ter. “My grandfather was go- ing to let me farm his land, Connie Smetak came back to school to major in Corrections after laying out during the fall semester. “One thing that’s different from home is living in the dorms again,” she said. but I needed something else. I felt like something was miss- ing. Things had slowed down on the farm and I had time to think. I started to get a job at a mental hospital (at the time Connie was a Psychology ma- jor) but that wasn’t what I was looking for, so I decided to come back to school and change my major to Correc- tions. I think that now I am better prepared for school. I know I’m studying more, anyway. I like farming a lot, but I can always do that in the summer,’ Smetak said. Besides going to school and farming, Connie loves to trav- el. “I’ve been to France, Ger- many, Belgium, Luxemburg and England, and would love to go back. The people were a lot more laid back, except in Paris. Everything isn’t as hec- tic as it is here.” Now that she’s back in school, Smetak said, “I’m ready to finish up and get out. Dad said that I need to finish my education, but if I decide I don’t like what I’m doing, I can always go back to farm- ing.” - by Mike Shore Scott, Mary Sue-Ringgold Scott, Raymond-Lake Providence Scott, Sharon-New Orleans Scrivner, Mike-Dallas, TX Seals, Cherry-Rayville Seamans, Angie-Hamburg, AR Seay, Judy-Mer Rouge Setton, Sharon-Ft.

The station receives ap- proximately five calls a night from both male and female students. -by Annita Ketcher Mike Sh ore i Smith, Bridgette-Newellton Smith, Caroloe-West Monroe Smith, Daphney-Shreveport Smith, David-Luling Smith, Ivan-Mansfield Smith, Joan-Monroe Smith, Karen-Pineville Smith, Laura-E] Dorado, AR Smith, Leslie-Monroe Smith, Maggie-Sicily Island Smith, Patti-Ferriday Smith, Shannon-Vicksburg, MS Smith, Sonia-Monroe Smith, Stan-Newbern, TN Smith, Steve-Benton Smith, Terry-Sterlington Smith, Whitney-Montgomery Smith, Zelnola-Monroe Snell, Sharon-Utica, MS Snodgrass, Everette-Monroe Snodgrass, Jacqueline-Delhi Solice, Mike-Washington, D.C.

No longer are classes com- posed entirely of singles in their late teens and early 20’s. Students are deciding to emerge from the singles life and get married while still in school. Individuals who have been absent from the educa- tional system or have never been enrolled in college are flocking to campuses in in- creasing numbers. Indeed, the trend of return- ing to school is being felt all over the country. According to Newsweek magazine, one third of all students taking credit-bearing courses are 25 or older. If the trend contin- ues, it is predicted that almost as many oldsters as young- sters will be enrolled in col- lege.

The rapid development of technology is another determinant that can not logically be overlooked. Grace Ferguson is one indi- vidual who decided to finish her college education after sit- ting out for seven years. She has been enrolled at North- east for one year. Ferguson started her col- lege education immediately after high school. She attend- ed school for two years, ob- tained an associates of arts de- gree, and then decided to marry. As an older student, but still in her 20’s, Ferguson be- lieves she blends in well with the older students. “I’ve al- ways viewed myself as a coed,” she said. She believes she is able to relate to the students and does not feel intimidated. She attri- butes this to her husbands in- teraction with graduate stu- dents in the toxicology de- partment at Northeast. Ferguson said, “self-fulfill- ment” is a major reason for her returning to college. She also believes she needed more tools developed, and wanted a better background in liberal arts. “Education is a stepping stone for personal well-be- ing,” she said. Ferguson be- lieves individuals unrealisti- cally try to go to school, work, get married, and have life goals set by age 25. “We need to slow down and allow peo- ple to grow up gradually.” Ferguson believes she has allowed herself a growing pe- riod and is now better pre- pared to reap the total bene- fits from a college education. “My goals are more defined,” she said. Although she sees life as easier without the dating and | social pressures, she encour- ages individuals to finish school before marrying, but — she stresses that marriage | should not stop people from | going to college. “Everyone | should try for a college de- gree,” she said, “It can’t hurt | you.” Donna Moreland is another student who decided to get _ married while still attending school. Being married one month, she has had an oppor- tunity to develop ideas of the advantages and disadvantages of attending school while married.

She believes more stu- dents are deciding to get mar- ried earlier than a few years ago. “You don’t notice it as much until you get married,” she said. Although Moreland be- lieves each individual should examine his or her situation, | she doesn’t discourage stu- | dents from marrying before graduation. However, she is glad she waited until her sen- ‘ior year before she married. “It’s more of a hassle if you have too much school left,” she said. Difficulty in coordinating {her school and work sched- jules with her husband’s is a }problem Moreland has faced ‘thus far. It is also hard to find ‘enough time for her added re- sponsibilities as a wife - such as housework. She finds it is an advantage to have a husband who is at- tending school as well. “When both of us have to study, it is easier,” said More- land.

Tom Murphy, dean for stu- dent affairs, believes the trend of returning students is in- deed noticeable at Northeast. “The continuing education program is the direct result of the older students returning to school, he said. He also be- lieves these individuals will continue to use the campus. “The universities are gear- ing up for older students,” said Murphy. “It is going to continue more and more. As students come here, take courses, and enjoy it, they will tell others.” Murphy said the university is always re-evaluating the program to better serve the community and their needs. “T think that’s why we are growing,” he said. Northeast’s Continuing Education program began in the fall of 1980, under the di- rection of Dr. Martha Up- shaw. “The university felt a definite need for someone to coordinate non-credit and credit courses on campus fo- cused to meet the needs of the older people in the communi- ty,” she said. The program’s responsibil- ities include: coordination of all off-campus classes, profes- sional improvement pro- grams for teachers, non-credit special programs, telecourses, and getting information to the public about academic courses geared for the adult learner. Students are also able to register over the phone by charging their tuition. Both credit and non-credit courses are offered through the program. Upshaw said half of the people returning to college already have degrees. Others are wanting to take classes for self-improvement. Upshaw believes the pro- gram is indeed growing and like most other programs needs expansion. The univer- sity is hoping to enlarge the program, staff and space, but budget cuts are hindering this attempt, she said. “We de- sparately need more computer equipment.” “They (older students) are coming back to college to re- furbish job skills and to get a renewed look of finding out what a college education is about,” said Upshaw. ‘People are realizing learning is for life.” -by Liz Vercher Ward, Joyce-Haughton Ward, LaTanya-Kansas City, MO Warren, JoAnn-Lake Provicence Washam, Greg-Shreveport Washington, Barbara-Collinston Washington, Gary-Riverside, CA Washington, Jacqueline-Natchez, MS Washington, Marilyn-Lake Providence Washington, Ruth-Winnsboro Washington, Sharon-Bastrop Watkins, Terri- Vicksburg Watson, Annette-Tallulah Watson, Donna-West Monroe Watson, Joni-Bastrop Watson, Linda-Bonita Watson, Shiela-Monroe Watson, Tommy-Rayville Watt, Mardi-Corossett, AR Watts, Tammi-Monroe Wayne, Faith-Marion Couples 381 Best friends Dorm pets make students Or of the biggest things students miss when they leave home to come to school is their pets. People don’t realize how attached they are to their animal friends until they have to leave them behind. Some students, however, try to fill this void with new pets. They get smaller, easier- to-care-for pets, like goldfish, that they can keep in their dorm rooms. Others try to substitute “imitation” pets, like plants or stuffed animals, but it’s never quite the same. Mike Shore Anita Bennett and Lucy enjoy the sun outside their room in Madison Hall. Freddie waits for a friendly student to come by and offer him something to eat. If every student owned a pet, many problems would arise. Because of this, there has been a trend toward “community pets” that wan- der campus freely in search of kind students with a little ex- tra love to share. Freddie, a small black and tan canine of indeterminate lineage, is one such animal. He can be seen soaking up the affections of students walking to and from classes in Strauss Hall. Ducks, too, don’t seem to mind handouts. Their “bread line’ starts behind Schultz a ’ Bey : y Se , feel at home Cafeteria, and there are al- ways a few charitable souls that don’t mind giving up part of their meal for a good cause. One of the most famous co- operatively-owned pets is a small tan dog affectionately known as Spider. He resides at Cypress Manor apartments in a one story JVC stereo box. A kind-hearted resident of the apartment complex con- tributed the box and others gave blankets, food and water to make a cozy home for their new neighbor. Since then, ES £ ; « Spider has become a perma- nent fixture of the neighbor- hood. He swims, plays Fris- bee, football, and volleyball with all his friends. Everyone seems to need some kind of pet, whether it’s a dog, cat, fish, or whatever. If you own a pet, or if you don’t own one but know someone who does, make sure you take care of it. No one should ever have to say “No” to the ques- tion, “Have you hugged your goldfish today?” -by Mike Shore Gary Patton “Happiness is a warm puppy,” and two of them will double your plea- sure.
