| 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.

Attendance at football games is one of several ac- tivities that make up a stu- dent’s life. This couple, ob- viously Indian fans, look with growing concern as the Bulldogs of Louisiana Tech score the winning touch- down. 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
