Every time you thought about this dining experience you would say, they have the best shrimp cocktail” or “they have the best table service,’’ or “this is the best place to eat.” Like a fine restaurant satisfies a hearty appetite, Bayou Life at NLU offers the student all of the best in university living. Begin- ning with top academic colleges and professors and a comfortable campus with gentle surround- ings, most students find NLU the right place to relax and enjoy pursuing their education. The beauty at NLU is not limit- ed to the environment. The peo- ple of Northeast are what make it important. The athletes, the orga- nizations, the greeks, the schol- ars, the faculty and staff and even the average student make NLU (cont. on pg. 5) A familiar scene on early fall morn- ings is the fog resting atop on top of Bayou Desiard.

NLU has a large number of professors who have earned their Ph. D. These people frequently contribute much to our academic environment by publishing a va- riety of papers and books. Sever- al faculty members were pub- lished and recognized nationally and internationally in 1983. Because of these and other out- standing qualities, our university has attracted a greater number of students this year than ever be- fore. Because of this increase in en- rollment, NLU has had construct- ed, or is in the process of con- structing, several new facilities. It is only fitting that the best faculty and the best student body, have the best facilities. Although NLU does make great cultural and economic con- tributions to the city of Monroe, the exchange is not one-sided. (cont. on pg. 7) Bayou Life: All Of The Best John F. Jones Quiet times alone with a friend is sometimes the best way to spend an evening. Sarona Mathews and Tag Holley enjoy the peaceful surround- ings that bayou life offers. A favorite place to go and drink a beer or talk is the Siesta, a local bar and dance club located down the bayou from Northeast. Andrew Prince looks back up the bayou to where the Northeast ski team prac- tices. 6 Opening John F. Jones John F.

NLU enjoys great support from the business community of Mon- roe. Miriam Rickard and John Smith stop a minute to talk by the bayou before their classes. All of these people, organiza- tions, and relationships contri- bute to make NLU one of the best universities anywhere. NLU has students, from all fifty states and many foreign nations. This just goes to show what many people have known all along — NLU offers all of the best — and much, much more. -Scott Unice Bayou Life: All Of The Best Student Life Registration Kansas Homecoming Spring Fever Miss NLU Mahogany Miss Graduation Division 9 Lines= =.

With a record enrollment of 11,500 students, problems in ob- taining classes only intensi- fied. Students found them- selves in classes of 75, that were meant to have a maxi- mum enrollment of 40. These same students ar- rived at room assignments, only to learn that their classes had been moved be- cause of inadequate space. At times, all of us felt like throwing in the towel, and asking, “Was this in the catalog?’’ However, even with the problems associat- ed with registration, we Did you ever have the feeling the world was passing you by?

As it standing in line was not enough, this year stu- dents had to cope with the hottest weather exper- ienced in Monroe in recent years. Temperatures were not the only things rising: tempers flared, and normal- ly congenial people found themselves irritable and im- possible to get along with.

The weekend, the lifesaver of many college students. Once the weekend arrives, you must decide what to do with the two luxurious days. First in the list of priorities for the weekend is going out.

By remaining in one place, you lessen your chances of meeting one of “Monroe's Finest.’ Bar hopping has the advantage of allowing you to see everybody and be seen by everyone else who is out. The great thing about going out on the weekend is that this is the only time you can go out with- out having to go to class the next day, armed with Visine to “get the red out.” A close second to going out is sleeping late.

As we stopped at the corner, I looked ahead to find nothing but a human on top of a little platform with wheels. “Didn't think skateboards could go that fast ... ‘’ I mumbled to myself, while my roommate screamed at a turning car that almost hit her. “That's IT!’’ she hollered. “I am so sick and tired of walking everywhere and being pushed around by people with cars, motorcycles, bikes ... ’ ‘Calm down,” I replied, sar- castically reminding her that my father had promised me a pair of skates for Christmas. To that remark she yelled, “That's not funny! I want to be able to ride to the places | need to go!” ‘C'mon, now, you could al- ways take the bus like your mother did when she was your age,” I chided, ‘Or you could get fancy and canoe down the river, or you could coat your- ‘self in Crisco and siliiiide!”’ ‘Now that’s really not funny; quit trying to be humorous. Life is just so unfair! I've got to talk my dad into letting me have the car next semester.”’ “Oh, you mean the huge green tank everyone at home calls ‘Big Daddy’?” In exasperation she replied, “Well, at least it has four wheels and moves faster than our four feet.” We walked silently for a few minutes, dwelling upon thoughts of shiny Trans Ams and Porsches. When we reached the dorm, I casually commented that I at least knew what to get her for her birthday, but be- fore she had time to comment, I hurried inside.

The rooms containing two beds, two desks and two clos- ets, were to be shared by roommates who had _ never met. The bathroom facilities were to be shared by either two rooms or the entire wing of a building, depending upon which dorm they were in. Stor- age space quickly disap- peared as boxes and suitcases were unloaded, and room decorations had to be decided upon between roommates. Within the next few months, Charles Lee moves his clothes in the dorm for the long, cold win- ter. the hectic chaos of this new world began to simmer down. You eventually met those par- tying neighbors that have been keeping you awake ev- ery night and discovered they were not so bad after all. You finally figured out the best time of the day for you to take a shower, do your laundry, or maybe even clean up your room, and your stomach suf- fered and got used to the often unrecognizable food served in the cafeterias. When your life finally be- came settled, and room deco- rations met perfection, it was time to pack it all up and re- turn home, only to find your- self doing it all over again three months later. -by Tammi Tinsley Students often pack their cars to the brim in order to bring a little home life to college.

Of course, it's Homecoming! Northeast hosted the first parade in recent memory this year in preparation for the NLU-Nicholls State game. Merchants in the area sponsored the parade to show their support for the Gold Rush. Student groups were encouraged to enter floats in the parade with hopes of winning the cash prizes awarded. When asked their impres- sions of Homecoming, many students focused on the queenless court.

Can you cater to everyone whose feelings are hurt?” President Dwight Vines was pleased with the in- volvement of students and area merchants during Homecoming 1983. “Even with an increased number of activities, atten- dance was still high.” “This year’s homecoming was the best in years,” Vines said.

This student shares her feeling with a large majority of the NLU population; the bayou DeSiard is a landmark and symbol for those of us who claim Northeast as our “home away from home.” Yet even though the bayou holds a special place in our hearts, it is sometimes over- looked. The bridge becomes the main pathway leading to the drudgery of classes (for if there were no bridge, life could surely go on-all of the necessary ele- ments of college life lie east of the bayou except, of course, the classrooms and library ...). The bayou also becomes less intriguing when the winter wind is blowing hard against the water, twisting your hair into knots and freezing the tip of your nose as you quickly cross the footbridge. To some it becomes just another feature of the school. Really, though, our waterway has many grand aspects about it if we'll only stop to examine them.

She avoids conversation as well as the opportunity for an afternoon of shopping, waiting in- tensely for his call. Another silent minute passes. She gulps down another double fudge nut-covered brownie and flips another page of American Lit., wondering if Dickinson ever had similar problems. Two hours, fourteen minutes and eight double fudge nut-cov- ered brownies later, she decides with a prolonged sigh and yawn that “he” isn’t going to call. She quickly phones her best friend to dispel thoughts of the convent while across campus he stares at the receiver in his hand. He can't believe it's busy. Her fascination for the Male is the one thing that brings a spar- kle to her eye even on the day she fails her Western Civ. test; the one thing that helps her stick to her diet, the reason she buys that special outfit, the reason she walks across campus instead of driving. Yes, guys are a fantastic topic of conversation anytime the fe- male gender gets bored or talk- ative. And, oh, the discussions range from innocent wishes and dreams about a special someone to actual details of dates, fights, and even kisses ... What is it about guys that attracts girls to them? Is it their facial expressions — eyes and smile? Ann Fournet and Alyson Henley seem to think so when asked the same question. But opinions vary; eyes seem to wander downward to ‘check 30 Student Life out” physique, chest, legs, and derriere. But there’s a welcome surprise — sense of humor, hon- esty, thoughtfulness and inde- pendence also rank high on the list. Sometimes a genuine con- cern or a couple of roses means a great deal more to a girl than looks. Do you wonder what happens to her when he walks in the door? Answers to this question vary; some girls melt while others break out with sweaty palms and weak knees, like Marie Blanchet and Mary Sue Scott. Others can be picked out of a crowd by the sparkle in their eyes or the huge smile hidden behind a napkin at supper. When the happy moment ar- rives and he asks her out, she goes because she wants to get to know him better and spend time with him. It also helps if he has a. good reputation ... or a nice car. Then there are the little things he does that you probably think . she doesn't notice, but she does. Tanya Scott notices when he drops by to see her often; Joan Pickering notices when he still calls her after seeing her with no make-up; Valerie Meng notices the compliments he gives. He doesn't have to just come out and say ‘I like you.” It’s often the smaller things that count, like sit- ting by her in the dining room when he could have sat with an- other girl or like holding her hand in public. Being close, having a good time, and enjoying each other's company is what it’s all about. So the next time you have a “hot date’’, give it all you've got. -by Letha Benton Darren Brown and Diana Claunch spend time together relaxing on the bayou’s edge. Looking and liking here she is, standing all alone; it's now or never. ‘She is so beautiful,” he thinks to himself as he slowly approaches her, like a cat stalking its prey. Carefully he rehearses the suave lines he knows by heart, trying to swallow the ever-growing lump in his throat. There they are . . “Hi,” she says. “.. Hi,” he repeats, turning on the charm and praying she doesn't laugh, “would you aike to see a lovie Niday fright?” The female — that singular sensation that makes his heart pound and his insides quiver. She can turn him in to Mr. Macho, Mr. Nice Guy, and Mr. Money all in one. She's the only reason he shaves twice a day, the reason he buys new cologne, and the rea- son he cleans his room. Yes, there she is. One real gor- geous woman, right? Well, sur- prisingly enough, beauty isn't the only aspect involved in what a guy looks for, according to the answers | received. First of all, girls must have a great smile; but eyes seem to be another important factor, or so says David Green. And the eyes do wander, from the face to the legs, chest, and back side. But that’s alright — they're only hu- man. When it comes to those inner qualities that make a female no- ticeable, most guys interviewed have differing opinions, yet the general feature that persists in their comments is personality. Other than that, males feel that intellect and sincerity are equally important. Steve White enjoys talking to a girl that isn't silly and has something to say; Michael Bi- lodeau enjoys a girl that can carry on a good conversation and has a sense of humor. One type of male turns into Mr. Cool when the girl of his dreams . face to face. Teddy Bobroske and Lennie Roberts spend time together and enjoy the campus. walks in the door; he, of course, notices her, but tries not to ap- pear obvious. Unlike the girl who trembles at the sight of “him”, a guy feels happy and excited and glad to see “her’’. He may, though, feel frustrated because he wants to talk to her, but feels too shy to confront her. The first and usually most im- portant date comes about for rea- sons varying from wanting to get to know her to wanting to be seen with: an attractive girl to hoping for a good-night kiss. After that, she may begin dropping clues that say “I like you.’’ What are they? Well, a guy is usually intri- gued by eye contact and feels that the way a girl looks at him lets him know that she is attracted to him. Also he notices her casual glances around the room, as well as her willingness to help pay for a date. After another date or three or more, and after spending time to- gether, those heartfelt emotions begin to take over. Brian Perry feels that a girl become more than just a friend when he’s obsessed with the thought of her and is will- ing to give up other important things in order to spend time with her. Mike Batey considers time ‘not my own but ours’, when speaking of a special someone. Other reactions that occur are thinking only of her, having prob- lems melt away at the thought of her, or looking forward to the next day. Some guys ‘just know”’ when. it’s right they call it male intuition. True answers to questions of the opposite sex can be very sur- prising and can even bring hope to lonely weekends, so the next time you see eyes wandering your way or cool glances in your direction, take a second look ... it may be the start of something wonderful. -by Letha Benton Steve White and Joan spend pre- cious moments studying together.

Another week is gone and you still didn't wash your dirty laun- dry. You dog-paddle your way out of that thing they call a dorm bed and sit up. You burp twice and decide that the beer tasted much better last night. Slowly you come to grips with reality. You vaguely remember your roommate threatening to commit suicide if you didn't wash your dirty laundry. You seem to recall that when you asked why, he just screamed and jumped out the window. Now you realize that your clothes are getting a little aroma- tic. You look around for some- thing to wear. You creep to your closet and look inside. There's one old t-shirt that's a hand-me-down from your great- grandfather, and he was three sizes smaller than you are. How- ever, it's the only thing clean. You put it on. You kick the clothes piled up on the floor, hoping a pair of pants will show up that is only slightly grungy. You find a pair of grey pants that doesn't look bad, but you don't recognize it. Then — you realize it used to be your white jeans. You don't understand it. After all, this is only the eighth week you've been wearing those clothes without washing them. In another eight weeks, you can turn them back over to Mom. You didn't really make a deci- sion. You just crawl back to bed and before the drowsiness takes your mind over, you realize that you probably won't wake up until Monday morning. - KP WE Ney Gary Patton Washing clothes for that big weekend football game is a Saturday afternoon ritual. � ‘oi | ‘ j Mot Spring! , + } a a H Scenic Hwy: !

Mel Riser Growing Pains il Sweet dream. An evening with Air Supply October 28, 1983 Dear Mom, You'll never believe what hap- pened last night! I still can't be- lieve it really happened to me. If you aren't sitting down, you'd better. Do you remember when I men- tioned that Air Supply was com- ing to Monroe in September, but had to cancel? They rescheduled the concert for October 27, and it was well worth the wait! The concert was the best I've ever seen. The group sang all their big hits, like “Even the Nights are Better,’ Every Wom- an in the World,” “Two Less Lonely People,” “Lost in Love,’ and “Making Love Out of Noth- ing at All.” The light show with green la- sers and special etfects was fabu- lous. It was a great night, but it was just beginning. My triend and | wanted to meet the band. We and about a hun- dred other people went to the back door of the coliseum, hop- ing to catch a glimpse of Air Sup- ply or get an autograph. Of course, the crowd got rowdy and the cops ran us off. She and I were determined to see them, so we walked back around to the side of the coliseum and found an open door. We sneaked in and ran toward the stage. Trying to look like we be- longed there, we walked behind the stage and saw Frank Esler- Smith, Air Supply's keyboard player. He told us where to find the rest of the band. We walked into the dressing room, and there they were, Air Supply! We were given promo- tional pictures to get auto- graphed, and the guys were all very nice, My friend started talking to Graham Russell, the handsome, blonde lead guitar and singer. I met Don, a cute bass guitar play- er, and we talked for a long time. He said that the band was pleased with the reception they got here, 40 Air Supply and they would probably return to Monroe on other tours. After about 30 minutes, Don said if my friend would hurry with her camera he would get us a picture. He put his arm around me, and Russell Hitchcock (the short guy with the fantastic voice) and Frank joined us. I don't know how my itriend took the picture; | was shaking from excitement just standing be- side them! It was time for the group to leave then, and we thanked them for everything. Before we lett, Don kissed me. WOW! As we walked out the door, Don called me back. He said if we would hang around for a minute, he might be able to get us on their bus. Of course, we waited. | heard my name called again, and he waved us over to the bus. We all climbed aboard, and it was really neat. The guys asked us if we had our toothbrushes packed to go to Texas to their next concert with them. We would've loved to go, but did not dare because of school. (I don't think my friend's fiance would've been too happy about it, either.) We stayed on the plush bus for 15 minutes until the driver said it was time to leave. Don walked us to the door and we said our good- byes. The end of our dream night had finally come, but there are still the memories and the pic- tures to prove it was real.

Realizing that you are ‘‘on your own’ and independent, having to face a roommate every morn- ing instead of a sibling or parent, and adjusting to what is known as the ‘‘college stomach,” or “how to learn what not to eat in three weeks or less’’ are only a few of the major disturbances that upset the delicate balance of your lifes- tyle. Yet, among these _ typical changes, there are also more sub- tle ones, holidays being at the top of the list. Until your senior year in high school, Christmas was probably celebrated from Thanksgiving through New Year’s, and includ- ed trimming the tree with bows and popcorn strings or sentimen- tal ornaments that your mother couldn't bear to part with. Other holiday treats included Christmas parties and exchang- ing gifts during classtime, singing Fa-la-la!’’ at the top of your lungs in the halls (just to make the teachers angry), baking pies and cookies to live on through the holidays, and shopping every other day for the “perfect pre- sent’’ for each and every special somebody. That past Christmas vanishes like the fog and becomes a mist in your memories as life continues and a college Christmas becomes the reality. As Thanksgiving quickly ap- proaches, you are suddenly faced with many worries and problems. The most pressing matters in- clude how you are going to finish your term papers and projects in the three short remaining weeks of school. (The long holidays can become even longer when your parents find out you made a D in English em) After the decision to catch a few late-nighters at the library, other questions concerning the season at hand come to mind. First, the fact that you now have TWO sets of friends as well as a huge family begins to eat at your thoughts and pocketbook as well. Where will the money come from to pay for all of those pre- sents? When do you plan on shopping for every gift? And, most important, what do you plan on getting your room- mate, considering the fact that he she has already found some- one to take your place next se- mester?!? | Along with Christmas comes } spirit, right?

When they called my name I was so ex- cited, said 21-year-old Leslie Elizabeth Weedman, the new reigning Miss Northeast Louisi- ana University. The daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Charles H. Weedman of Monroe, she is a general stud- ies senior with a concentration in music. Weedman said when her name was announced as being the winner she had mixed emotions. ‘Il was really happy because I won. Then, | started to panic, not because of all the responsibilities, but because of an audition earlier this year at Opryland, U.S.A., in Nash- ville,’ she said. Weedman, who worked in Opryland last summer, audi- tioned again and officials re- VT cently called and wanted her to work there again this sum- mer. “I had originally told them that I would be in the pageant, and they said, ‘You have to make a decision be- tween the pageant or us.’ So, I decided to tell them that I would work there this summer, because I didn't know if I'd win the Miss NLU pageant. Now, I have to call them back and tell them i’m not coming. I don't know what I'll say,’’ she said. A transfer student from Lou- isiana College, Weedman said she “loves Northeast although I've only been here a year.” She is active on campus and among her activities she is treasurer of Delta Omicron, an honorary music fraternity, and a member of the Concert Choir and the Redskin Rhythms, a NLU alumni-spon- sored music group. ‘In order to obtain the high- est benefits from an education, one must be involved in as many areas of student activity as possible,’’ she stated. Although Weedman is a pageant veteran, she still found herself nervous before the Miss NLU pageant. “It had been a year-and-a-half since I'd been in a pageant. I was really afraid that I had forgot- ten how to walk gracefully,” she laughed. Music is very important to Weedman since one of her greatest goals is to be an enter- tainer. ‘'I feel that’s where God wants me and so far everyth- ing that I've done has opened more and more doors toward entertainment opportunities,” she said. ‘‘Entertainment makes me happy, and I like to see the audience enjoy what I do. Influenced by her father, who is an NLU assistant profes- sor of music, Weedman said that she has always had a “‘nat- ural love for music.” When asked about her goals or dreams, Weedman said that her most immediate dream would be that of being Miss Louisiana. ‘'] like to take things one step at a time ... this dream could lead to other dreams.” - by Pamela Denise Hart Qe 06rt-F VLOGS ra Student Life 49 gne iss NLU: fr a BOE ‘Leslie eig Billy Heckford - ge, edman'r jana Colle as the 1983 M 1S: izabeth: We Lou AA transfer student El ® = 50.

Standing on the corner of the sidewalk and shifting his feet in the cold, a male student impa- tiently waits for the light to change so he can continue to class. ... A freshmen girl trips up the ‘stairs of Lemert Dorm, searching for her new “home” and trying ‘not to look confused.

A face peers around the corner of the Coenen lunch line looking for familiar faces. Cheerful faces, empty and up- tight faces, vibrant, alive and weary faces mingle together like pieces in a puzzle to form a group of people. A single glance at such an ar- ray of unorganized parts might show a mass of uninteresting and similar human beings. Only a close look at each puz- zle piece, each person, can bring into focus the shape of the entire picture. As no two puzzle pieces are alike, neither are two people. Each should be treated as an indi- vidual and not be compared with others. Just like a jigsaw puzzle, each person has his own distinct char- acteristics that, when looked at separately and placed in correct positions, fit together to form a complete picture. And here is our picture: NLU! by Letha Benton Cy nce considered a book about the future, George Orwell's 1984 has come of age as we enter 1984. In many ways today’s society has become much like that in Orwell's novel. With the ad- vancements in computers and technology, very little remains private tor long. Everyone has a number, whether it is a social security number, an account number, or a driver's license number. World leaders such as Sta- lin, Hitler, and Ayatollah Kho- meini have, in many respects, assumed the role of Big Broth- er. Newspeak becomes more apparent through substituting such words as peace makers for military armament. But Orwell's purpose in It’s 1984! Big Brother could be i watching you. and technology to get out of writing 1984 was not to predict the future. He wanted the book to be seen as a warning of the way society could change if people allow political power hand. As Walter Cronkite said in the Preface of 1984, “What Orwell had done was not to forsee the future but to see the | implications of the present — his present and ours — and he touched a common chord. He had given words and shapes to common but unarticulated fears running deep through all industrial societies.” Though the possibility of so- ciety becoming like that of 1984 is still there, let us hope it remains to be seen in the dis- tant future. -by Tammi Tinsley The year 1984 is finally upon us, and George Orwells prophetic, nightmare vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still and will be remembered as the modern classic depicting a “negative Utopia”. i to Mi Photographs by Scott Unice George Orwell 3%) lie CTT Things that turn a good day to bad “BRB” is n most days, nothing can bother you.

For example, in the 1950's it was not an uncom- mon sight to see the girls at school in their poodle skirts and bobby socks while the boys showed off — their leather jackets and slicked their hair back into duck tails. The 1960's brought bell bot- tomed pants, hot pants, and min- iskirts into style, and continued this throughout the early 1970's. With the inspiration of John Travolta, the nation went into a disco craze in the late 1970's. Well, the year 1983 was no exception as people were seen around campus and in the bars dressed in their psychadelic punk and new wave outfits. The colors of attire were usually bright red, hot pink or magenta matched with black. Dresses were seen a little more often as the girls showed off their tight leather skirts with the zip- pers on the sides, or their sweat- shirt dresses worn with wide, bright colored belts around the waist. The legs were usually covered by matching tights, and possibly a pair of leg warmers with either a pair of soft leather noon boots or low heeled dress shoes. Dainty was no longer in exis- tence. Large, multi-colored and often unmatched earrings dan- 56 Student Life gled from the ears while neck- laces and bracelets were occas- sionally some kind of chain or leather collar with silver spikes. For both men and women, dark glasses were worn continu- ously, never depending upon the time of day or the weather. But- tons were displayed, expressing people's feeling about their favor- ite musician, MTV, and specific issues. Bright colored bandanas were worn either around the head, around the neck, around the thigh, or one around the boot. During the cooler months, basi- cally three types of jackets were worn by the punkers and new wavers. They were the black leather jacket, the jean jacket and the bright colored, broad shoul- dered jacket. Punkers and new wavers even had their own type of hair style. For the punkers, mohawks were very popular. The new wave men and women wore their hair cut short on the top, and thinning out long around the neck. With the way fashions and fads have rapidly changed the past four decades, the possibilities for the future will remain an exciting mystery. -by Tammi Tinsley Sabrina Molinar and Roger Mitch- ell, two new wavers, enjoy getting radical.

Student Life 63 64 Student Life Night time dilemma Long days bring out the nights in students ts Thursday evening. It's been a long day ... along week ... along semester. It's time to hit the town! After an exhausting day of classes, work, study, etc., nothing, it seems to many NLU students, is more relaxing than a night out, loaded with all of the ‘sins your parents warned you about. Since such a large portion of North- east students are hopelessly devoted to © the fine art of boogieing with Boy George, dancing to Duran Duran, par- tying with the Police, swaying to Sugar Hill and jiving to Michael Jackson, this popular sensation should be acknowl- edged. What reasons are there for this grow- ing phenomena that is overtaking the night-time hours by leaps and bounds? Most students’ opinions fall within the categories of “having a good time”’ Two aspects of a night on the town invelve dancing and or finding someone to dance with. Girls and guys alike dress up and primp before going out in order to catch the eye of someone of the op- posite sex. and ‘‘seeing all of your triends,”’ yet the true meaning of the word “party” en- tails much more complex reasoning. A not-so-minimal number of people retreat to the night clubs in search of those wonderful members of the oppo- site sex. A pleasurable evening can be had if one dares to ask Mr. Miss Right to dance and he she oe with a smile. If not, then Wow oe ae begins as guys and girls scan the room for interesting or eye-catching bodies. To the others who have already found a special someone, or to those who simply don’t care to look, another reason for hitting the town lies in the music. Whether it be a band, turntable or video, the universal language of mankind certainly brings NLU students together to tune in on country, soul, lax, calm down, or escape, if only for hibited and thereiore have a bett simply no better way to relax and hav pop, and punk. _ Still another means of enterfainme that brings many out of the woodwor is the sin of all sins, alcohol. ‘Some people just don't feel comt able dancing until this wonder drug has been administered into the syster Others view alcohol as a way to ; the evening. “People become less in- time,” says senior Steve Baum. “1 kno : ldo.

Students fall into nine main categories depending on when and where they study. First is Craig Crammer. Craig is the most common type of student studier on campus. You see him all of the time. On test day, his eyes are blood- shot, his hair is uncombed, he’s wearing the same clothes he wore during the last class meeting, and his five o’ clock shadow is working overtime. Craig inevitably asks if the test will be open book, open no tebook, or both. He is also interested in what the curve will be before the test is given. It doesn't matter: the date often exceeds Craig's score. Connie Conscientious is the second type. She actually be- Students prep VE lieves what the instructor says about the benefits of reviewing notes and reading ahead on a daily basis. Connie doesn't have much of a social life. The high point of her week is passing through the turnstile at Sandel Library. She can often be found hiding behind her favorite cubicle on the third floor. Byron Blowoff and his study buddy, Gertrude Guesser, be- long to the third category. Their philosophy is aided by multiple-choice and true-false tests, long-known favorites of professors. Byron and Gertrude don't study because the test is limit- ed to a series of educated or uneducated guesses. Peter Perpetual is the fourth type of studier. Peter is on a full academic scholarship. In order to keep his scholarship, he’s always studying. He runs into you while studying notes reviewing notes and reading the text on 66 Studiers ___ the third floor of Sandel Library. Stereotypical Studiers from a previous class. He goes on his way as if nothing has happened, and you are lett brushing the grass from your knees and elbows. Hardees is the home of the fifth type of student. She is Re- becca Restaurant. For her, studying and food must ac- company each other. Her motto is: ‘Food for Thought.” Looking at her, you can tell which is emphasized. Rebec- ca's books and notebooks are filled with crumbs, and are marred with mayonnaise and ketchup stains from the ham- burger she ate while studying for the microbiology test. Gretta Group is the sixth. Gretta has an identity crisis. As a result, she never studies by herself. Studying alone makes her feel inferior because it implies that she has to study more than anyone else. Now enter the musical di- mension of Huey Headphones. This person must have music playing while studying. If MTV hadn't arrived on campus, Huey would be unable to sur- vive the rigors of academia. Ophelia Osmosis’ only ex- posure to learning is either when she carries her books to class or when she stares at them on her way to bed. Occa- sionally, she will ‘sleep on it.” Ophelia is a firm believer in divine intervention. It never occurs. Our final type of student is Vinnie Video. Vinnie is ob- sessed with TV. He cannot study unless he is glued to the screen by Monday Night Foot- ball or Thursday night at the fights. He also likes to study while watching After Hours on Showtime. These are the nine types of students present on the NLU campus. Which one do you belong to? - Keith Sharp NLU Photo Lab 2 BERRA Deed ee bv eB Scena Soe RIS.

You would think they are sisters by the way they treat each other. | Julie and I finally got our room decorated. It looks so cute, but I need more storage room.

Because of this, and because many students do not buy week- end meal tickets for Coenen, the fast food businesses in Monroe do a healthy fraction of their busi- ness with NLU students.

The names roll off the tongue as easily as these majestic rivers flow to the sea. Throughout the ages, rivers have been the subjects and objects of adventure, sci- ence, legend, pleasure, and art. Some have been mysteriously elusive; other, magnificently present. Above all, rivers have been a source of life for untold gen- erations of mankind. Within this far reaching concept is the shape and scope of the theme of the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition, ‘The World of Rivers: Fresh Water as a Source of Life.” The setting for this most unique Fair, which will explore the infinite aspects of rivers, is New Orleans, and there couldn't be a more appropriate place. New Or- leans is a city with its past, present, and future inextricably bound to its river. Once again, the good times are about to start rolling on the river. Today, New Orleans is getting ready for a celebration 72 Student Life that promises to be a legendary event. The 1984 Louisiana World Exposition. It marks a turning point in the city’s history: a return and a renewed commitment to New Orleans’ source of life — the Missis- sippi River. Everywhere in New Orleans, streets are being repaired and beautified, hotels are going up, and historic buildings are being restored and rennovated. New Orleans isn't just sprucing up. It's stepping out into a future with a focus on the river. For the first time in over a cen- tury, the riverfront will be open to the world. Not just during the Fair, but for many years to come. A World's Fair must and should edu- cate as well as entertain. Never has learn- ing been more entertaining than in this Fair's Pavillions. The United States, Japan, Australia, Liberia, South Korea, Italy, France, Canada, El Salvador, China, Mexico, and the Vatican — as well as several major corporations and industries — have all announced their intention of participating. In the Great Hall, 14 individual states will offer their special exhibits, so that visi- tors, foreign and domestic alike, can come to. a greater understanding of this vast country. Like any major undertaking, this event was years in the making. A group of far- sighted citizens joined together in 1976 with the shared goal of making a dream reality. Very soon, it will be. At a cost of $350 million, it was quite a dream. But the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition is ex- pected to have a $2.6 billion economic impact on the state and the city. As opening day draws near, the excite- ment grows.

You place your books on the shelf, and sudden- ly, it’s time to turn loose. If it’s been one of those weeks when nothing has gone right, you might choose to drown your sorrows at your favorite night spot. Being a college town, Monroe has much to offer the NLU student who chooses this option. Students can often be found in great numbers at places such as Bogie’s, the Bleachers, the Deja Vu, and the Siesta. But perhaps you prefer the great outdoors. If so, you might take to the cool waters of NLU’s Scott Spillang downs a drink while partying at the TKE house.

Swimming, skiing, floating, and fishing are just a few of the alternatives afforded by the bayou. A third alternative is to cruise around campus absorbing rays on warm days. All you need is a car, preferably a t-top or a con- vertible, a few friends, and your favorite beverage. Combine all three ingredients, and you have the makings of a great weekend.

Luckily for NLU students, most area restaurants and fast food places hire a large num- ber of college students to work part time. A local McDonald's, for ex- ample, currently employs 16 NLU students. According to the manager of the McDonald's, the stu- dents are hired because they are the best applicants and tend to be the hardest workers. The employers seem to have contidence in student workers because they realize that the students are serious about their jobs. They know that often the student must finance his edu- cation with money earned for the job. Warehouse manager David Blitch says he understands how it is for students in col- lege. An alumnus of Northeast, he said the Warehouse prob- ably employs more students than any other restaurant in _ the state. “We're hiring all the time,” he said. “If a student comes in and needs a job, we'll try to give him or her one.” He said there are currently between 40 and 50 NLU stu- dents workin g at the Ware- house on a part-time basis.

According to Martin Lu- ther King Ll, February 7, 1984, that march has trig- gered a “new day.” King, who spoke before a crowd of over 400 people as a part of Black Hisicry week, mainly focused on the changes in society. He compared last year’s march to the march his fa- ther made 20 years ago. “Twenty years ago black folks and white folks from all walks of life walked to Washington, and got in Washington in 1963 focus- ing on issues of jobs and freedom.” He reminded the audi- ences of the fear people shared as they walked in Washington in 1963. He said, “Twenty years ago, there was a different day because folks were scared during that time. But 20 years later, in 1983, when we got to Wash- ington no one was scared and yet the comparing or contrasting was that we had an administration that was insensitive and unfriendly.” 82 Student Life - M.L. King from ‘left, Tonya Jackson, Stacey Bourgeois, Benita Stoves, Tanya Smith and Ruth Henderson anxiously wait for March triggered A ‘New Day’ King discussed the past bus sit- uation. ‘Twenty years ago, black folks rode in back of the bus from anywhere in the south all the way to Washington, and just last year a black astronaut rode in front of the space capsule.” He said times have changed. “Twenty years ago, black folks could not even want to go to a pageant that says certain persons in our society are beautiful.

Communication Arts. The play deals with a middle aged alcoholic, Evy Meara, who has recently arrived home from the hospital and is faced with readjusting to life without the bottle. The challenge of staying on the wagon intensi- fies as her 17-year-old daugh- ter, Polly, moves in with her and insists on a real mother- daughter relationship. Friends Jimmy Perry and Toby Landau enrich and com- plicate the plot with unique demands on Evy’s affections, while former lover Lou Tanner furnishes Evy with new reasons for self-hate. It is only through Polly that Evy is able to face the difficult task of relating to others honestly without a crutch. This Neil Simon play was turned into a recent popular movie, ‘Only When I| Laugh.” which starred Marsha Mason and Kristy McNichol. Cast members were: Rob Douglas as Manuel; Linda Rambin as Evy Meara; Scott Cody as Jimmy Perry; Shan- non Wendt as Toby Landau; Gail DeBiase as Polly; and Bri- an Doughty as Lou.

Monroe Civic Center Theatre Presents: Crimes of the Heart rimes of the Heart,” a Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy play, was per- formed on Saturday, January 28, in the Monroe Civic Cen- ter Theatre. The play was Beth Henley’s first attempt at writing a full- length play. She was the first woman in 23 years to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The stage is set in the small Mississippi town of Hazlehurst five years after Hurricane Ca- mille, and is a comic account of three sisters on the day that one of them shot her husband. Babe shot her husband in the stomach because she ‘didn't like his looks.” Lenny, the old maid of the clan tries to celebrate her 30th birthday as she mourns the death of her pet horse. Meg is a failed night club singer whose career has never gotten farther than Biloxi and who has rushed home to find Babe the best lawyer in the South. The problem is that Babe has just shot the best lawyer. Besides the Pulitzer, the play earned the 1981 Best New American Play Award from the New York Drama Critics Circle. It also received a Drama Desk nomination for Best Play, two Obie Asards, four Tony Award nominations including Best Play and the George Op- penheimer Newsday Playwrit- ing Award for 1981.

These threads were mainly an excellent man-to-man de- fense, a more disciplined of- fense, and bench strength, the latter probably being the most important factor. The Tribe started their sea- son with newcomer Michael Mattox and two sophomores, Author Hayes and Elgin James. Returning seniors Terry “Chief” Martin and Gerald Morris were also in the starting lineup. This year’s team was the deepest team for NLU in years and subs played key roles throughout the season. After the first two games the Indians were 2-0. The Tribe was favored to win both con- tests but its margins of victory were surprising. The Indians beat Southeastern at home by 18, then mauled Northwestern by 30 on the road. “T noticed in the box score of the Northwestern game that two of our starters had a total of 11 points, but our sixth, sev- enth, and eighth men had a total of 35 points,’ said Mike Vining in his third year as Indi- an head coach. “When you have people coming off the bench and pro- ducing like that, you've got to feel good about our depth.” said Vining. From the bench Vining had a good crop to choose from. As expected he quickly used seniors Bobby Joe Douglas and Bruce Williams, sopho- more Gerard Phillips and ju- nior college transfer David Candilora. On defense Vining’s team did just what he wanted them to do. The Tribe applied the pres- sure and kept the other teams from doing what they wanted to do.

First, there were four players ack who were starters at the yend of 1982-83 — Bobby Joe Jouglas, Terry Martin, Gerald ‘Aorris, and Bruce Williams. ll four were seniors and had averaged 25 games or more | or three years. As college freshmen, they | vere rated one of the nation’s 10 best recruited classes and vhile that designation might ave been a shade overblown, here's no question the group 1ad a high level of skill. Last year, Vining used nine different starting combinations in an effort to find the perfect blend. All four seniors were strong in shooting, yet three suffered declines in their field accura- cy. The exception was Morris, but this was offset by a drop in his rebound production. Still, the potential was there for some dazzling shooting. Vining had the option to use these four and insert only a shooting guard. Or he could have mixed and matched with three other talented letterman and some interesting newcom- ers. The other letterman were all sophomores who played ex- tensively in 1982-83. Gerard Phillips and Arthur Hayes were the defensive stop- pers that the Indians appeared to need so badly at times in the break-even season. Elgin James had probably the most talent of the three sophomores, but had shooting and ball handling problems. Vining added seven new- comers: three transfers, three prep recruits and one redshirt. Michael Mattox had great jumping ability and wasn't a bad shooter. He played junior college basketball before com- ing to NLU last year, but couldn't play or practice be- cause of a neck injury suffered in a car accident. David Candilora was a deadeye shooter at Southwest (Miss.) Junior College with per- centages of 50.0 and 83.1. Bobby Jenkins was a super leaper who helped on the boards. All of the freshmen were considered as fine prospects, but they saw no big action in 1984. They were bulky: 6'-6”, 240 pound Leslie Aaron of Peabody High, Alexandria, 6’- 5 swingman Maurice Barr of Shreveport's Booker T. Wash- ington and 6'-6 forward Da- vid Roques of St. Amant.

In 1982, the Lady Spikers re- turned to volleyball after a two year period without a team, and the season was a rude awakening as the Lady Indians finished with a record of 0-13, dead last in the conference. At the beginning of the 1983 season, first-year coach Mary Jo Murray said she couldn't predict how the Lady Indians would fare in their second- ever Campaign as a member of the Southland Women's Con- ference, but the team showed some comforting signs. “The 1982 team took McNeese to five games before losing the match and the re- turning players are confident 108 Sports that they can beat them,” said Murray. “Our biggest improvement was our net play,’ Murray said. ‘We had excellent jump- ers, who could spike and block real well. We also had excel- lent depth. We had four or five ladies who could hit the ball well. “The biggest weakness that faced the Lady Indians was pass reception,”’ she said. “It doesn't do any good to have girls who can spike unless you can get the ball up to the setter sO we can get that attack go- iheve mae Experience, increased height, and overall athletic ability were the key factors in the Lady Indians’ second Southland Conference cam- paign.

Newcomers included two ju- nior college transfers: Kristi Wright, transfer from lowa who was all-conference and all-state in high school, and Theresa Sims, from Arizona Western College at Yuma. Two NLU track athletes, Pat Windfield and Nina Sylvester provided part of the improved jumping ability of the team. Based upon the offensive scheme instituted by Murray, the Lady Indians in reality had an eight-player starting lineup, with two subs that rotated in regularly. The starting six were Pat Windfield, Nina Sylvester, Kathy Annison, Theresa Sims, Mary Day, and Drusilla Paul. Rotating in at the net were Kristi Wright and freshman Pre Lacy. Other teammates in- cluded sophomore Debra Dickson and Pamela Smart of Winfield. The main factor that prom- ised a better season for the Lady Indians was attitude, ac- cording to coach Murray, “The players all had a very positive outlook.

With all the fast breaks of bas- ketball and the long drives of football, not much attention is given to this team. The team | have in mind is the team be- hind the team — the team of athletic trainers. Football and basketball are two fields in which no matter how much action is taken to prevent it, there is always the risk of injury. Such injury could have long lasting effects, and in some cases, it could be fatal. To counter this misfortune, the NLU training team and others throughout the sports world are working more than ever to educate athletes about the different types of injury.

Charles Martin, director, says, ‘We try to offer the best care to our players in the event of some sort of injury.” Many times the fans do not take into consideration the lit- tle things in a sporting event. Athletic trainers have to pay close attention to the players and not so much to the game itself. “While the fans are watching the guy scoring the touchdown, the trainers are watching the line, looking for players that have a history of some sort of injury,’’ said Mar- tin. In sports like football and basketball, there is a consider- able amount of body contact and athletic injury is likely to happen. According to Ricky Mestayer, the trainer’s main To prevent injury function is the prevention of athletic injury. ‘We spend a lot of time trying to prevent in- jury. Before games and wor- kouts, we tape and wrap play- ers to protect areas that are susceptible to injury.” Training is a way of life for many people. For student training Gerard White, it gives him a better feel for the play- ers. ‘At times when a player don't want to talk to the coaches, they come to us and tell us their problems. They have gained more trust in us,” said White. This team may not make the three point play at the buzzer or run the 90 yard touchdown, but its work behind the scenes must be commended. -by Michael Harris David Clancey ee Cet eee In the training room, Ricky Up- shaw is being examined by Dr. Tom Fields in preparation for a game.

If you had to pick one word and no other, it has to be tOtalam Like most football openers, NLU’s game against Indiana State was a mixed bag. The bad n ews dominated, but there were some things to brag about, too. The Indians rushed for a to- tal of 259 yards, the highest since 1977. The offense turned the ball over only once. Tail- back Bobby Craighead ran for 158 yards, the highest total by a Northeast back since 1977. The game ended up in a 9-10 loss but that was no disgrace. ‘| was certainly disappoint- 112) j2perts ed that we didn't win because we had a chance to, but | thought our players did well,”’ said Pat Collins, head coach. “There was no question that our defense kept us in the game. Offensively, we need to improve, but we showed that we are capable of being a good offensive team.” History doesn't always re- peat itself, which is why the In- dians spent a happy Sunday celebrating a 31-6 victory over Vol In 1982, the Tribe ran up a 26-0 lead over USL in the first half in Lafayette, only to have the Cajuns come back with 40 points in the second half to win 40-26. Last season, NLU had a 31-0 lead over USL at the half and, for a time, it seemed that there was going to be a rerun of last year’s horror story. The Indi- ans took the second halt kick- off and drove the ball to the three but fumbled into the end zone, where USL recovered. Then the Cajuns drove 80 yards for a touch-down and you can bet that everyone was thinking about the 1982 night- mare. But it didn’t happen again. True, the Indians didn't score again, but neither did USL. The Indians’ defense limited USL to only 90 yards and no more points after that scoring drive and forced two more tur- novers for a total of eight on that night. The offense mean- while, was able to run more time off the clock. And the crowd, which helped fuel the Cajuns in Lafayette, was on NLU’'s side this time, 20,451 strong — Northeast’s biggest opening night home crowd ever. ‘We were very pleased with the crowd,” said Collins,”’ not only because it was a big one, but also because it was enthusiastic.

Billy Heckford Fall practice brings out the Rookies he kick-off for Northeast’s 53rd year of football be- gan August 8th when 45 freshmen reported for the start of fall practice. The 45 rookies were fol- lowed two days later by the up- perclassmen and the first full- squad practice session was at 9:25, August 11th. The practice of having fresh- men report earlier than the rest of the squad for an orientation program resumed after a lapse of one year. The orientation period was not allowed under NCAA Division 1-A rules, but 1-AA changed the rules in 1983 to permit the early re- porting date. Indian head coach Pat Col- lins said of the early reporting date for freshmen, “'l like it. It gives the freshmen time to ori- ent themselves and get used to the routine of college football practice. Plus it gives them a chance to know our coaches a little better before the rest of the squad arrives, and gives the coaches a chance to know the freshmen better, too.” “I think it is great,’’ said Benny Mitchell. “It gives us a better chance to get adjusted to the new atmosphere.” Mike Johnson of Morgan City recommends the orienta- tion period because ‘‘incom- ing freshmen need more time to fit into a new program.” “I like the relaxed atmo- sphere,” said Chris Jones.

The Indians’ 45-7 victory over ASU on national television could be tagged su- perb. There have been NLU teams in recent years which would pass you dizzy and those in the more distant past which would run the ball down your throat or stop you in your tracks, but it is hard to recall a game in which the Indians so thoroughly dominated a strong opponent in every phase of the game. Coach Collins’ team ran for 317 yards, passed for 201, and held the nation’s fifth rushing team to only 94 yards, 160 un- der its average. The Indians’ victory came before a nationwide audience on Superstation WTBS and over a team that one national publication ranked ninth among the country's division 1-AA teams. “I've been involved with a lot of football games,’ said Collins, but I don't think I've been associated with one that could have greater signifi- cance to the school and the community than this one. Be- ing on national television against a strong team like Ar- kansas State gave us an oppor- tunity to show people what we ve got.” As for the polls, the Indians went into the game ranked number five, fourteen and nineteen in the three leading 1-AA ratings. When the rat- ings came out the next week, the Indians were ranked num- ber two, nine, and number ten ats x by those polls. For the next two weeks, the Tribe viewed the Southland Conference race from an envi- able position — from the top | and from the sidelines, after their 17-0 victory over Lamar, “Certainly we feel good about being 3-0 in the conference,” said Collins. F The Tribe’s defensive us ranked nationally in three de: § partments, had a good game against Lamar, recording 1] | sacks and limiting the Cardiz nals to a net of 157 yards. Thi game was NLU'’s first shutou since a 14-0 win on the samt field against the same team i the eighth game of the 198 season.

WTSB goes into 24-million homes throughout the country and this is tremendous expo- sure for our program and for the Southland Conference.” The announcement of the telecast was made by the SLC comissioner Dick Oliver and became official when the two schools, the station, and the NCAA signed the contracts. In the contract the schools agreed to move the game up two days, from Saturday to Thursday, to allow WTBS to air the SLC battle. The telecast began at 7:00 pm central time, with the kick- off at 7:15.

The Superstation was not able to use their full comple- ment of equipment, ‘With the Braves in town we had to rent a truck from Houston instead of bringing our own,” said Tom Smith, director for WTBS. “This truck allows us to use only six cameras instead of our normal seven.” The game was NLU’s third televised football contest but the other two were regional telecasts. The 1970-NLU-USL game in Brown Stadium was telecast over a_ four-station Louisiana network. Then in 1980, the NLU-Northwestern game was televised over a three-station ABC-TV regional network. “I'm excited for our players, staff and everybody in the pro- gram,” said coach Pat Collins of the telecast. The Indians were: certainly exciting to watch as they rolled passed Arkansas State 45-7. The victory was very impres- sive considering Arkansas was ranked second in the SLC coaches poll. The same poll picked NLU to win the SLC. “This is a great thing for our football team.’ said Collins. “We don't care when we play — we're just happy to be on a national broadcast and to get a chance to show off our fine football team.” The presence of WTBS-TV cameras at the game brought out the best in Indian fans.

The Tribe trounced Nicholls State, 47-27, for its fifth straight victory. “We were more consistent offensively, more balanced and more explosive,’’ said Col- lins. The explosions included plays like Rodney Horn’'s 28- yard touchdown pass to fresh- man Benny Mitchell and a 49- yarder to Tag Rome, a non- scoring run by Bobby Craigh- ead, a 53-yard kickoff return by David Outley, and a boom- ing 57-yard field goal by Jesse Garcia. “Jesse was just outstand- ing,’ said Collins. ‘We have great confidence in him.

While Collins was pleased with the offensive fireworks, he wasn't as happy with the Indi- an defense, which gave up more than one touchdown for the first time this season. It gave up three in the fourth quarter. The offense at home and the defense on the road were the win-combinations for the Tribe in 1983. In late October the Indians were 6-1 and _ nationally ranked because the offense had averaged 41 points in three home games and the de- fense had held the opposition to four touchdowns in four road games. The latest numbers dialed by the Indians were 16-13 over a hot Southeastern team. The biggest defensive play of the game was Mike Howard's interception and 14- yard return to SLU's 27 in the fourth quarter. That play set up what turned out to be the win- ning field goal. “Our defense does seem to play well on the road,” said Collins after the big win over SEU), Offensively, the Indians had their longest drive of the sea- son but came up with nothing because of a fumble at the one yard line. ‘We had many good pertor- mances,” said Collins. “I was particularly happy with our kicking game.” oe There were a lot of things to be happy about in the Tribe's record-setting victory over McNeese State, but Collins ob- viously took the greatest pride in the ‘foot’ part of the foot- ball game. “The biggest plus in the game was our kicking game,’ said Collins after his team set a school record with its seventh straight victory, a 37-6 decision over the Cowboys. “It was one of the most com- plete games we have played — offense, defense, and the kicking game,” Collins said. “It's the first time we've put all that together since the Arkan- sas State game.” The victory put the Tribe at 7-1 for the season and third in the national rankings. The In- dians went into the game ranked first among division 1- AA teams by the Football News and fourth by the Lex- ington, Ky., Herald and and the NCAA. The win also left the Indians all alone atop the Southland Conference mountain, at 4-0 the only other team that was unbeaten in league play, North Texas State, was upset by Louisiana Tech. “I've looked at the film of the North Texas State game and I can see that Tech is a well-coached explosive team and there is no question in my mind that Tech is going to be ready to play,’’ Collins said.

Collins and his defensive coaches, Ronnie Alexander, Willie Ragan and Bobby Keasler, used six defensive backs and only one line back- er in the game, and the change paid off with four pass interceptions.

Six turnovers and the best team of the schedule--that was the combination the Tribe had to face, and it was too much. The 27-7 loss to North Texas State wasn't the only thing the Indians lost. They also lost a chance to wrap up a place in the Division 1-AA playoffs and a chance to be number | in two of the national polls. ‘North Texas is a real good football team,” said Collins. “They had two game plans and it looked as if they made no mistakes all day. We played hard, very hard, but you can't win that kind of game against that kind of team -with six turnovers and a poor kicking game.” The Tribe played the game without starting quarterback Rodney Horn, who suffered an — So _ i =aien = - = : ea % gag iS cs 2 Sas oe” Yea injured right thumb in a non- football accident.

In 1983, a new cast of char- acters helped the Lady Indians regain their ranking against many of the top teams in the nation. Traditionally Northeast has been among the nation’s top teams. After been ranked 16th, 14th, 20th, and 16th nationally from 1977 to 1980, the Indians went into a rebuilding period after the loss of several key players. Coach Mary Nyholm attrib- uted the success of the team to the talent that the members possess. “They were willing to pay Michele Ruschhaupt was one of the top players all season long. Eric Hanson the price of being in the top twenty in the country.” “Playing tennis is a way of lite, if you are good,” said Ny- holm. ‘Everything has to be geared to it.” The Indians were in high gear when they took on power house Rollins College in the LSU Invitational last fall. Rol- lins was ranked 15th nationally last season. “This was the most impor- tant tournament we had in the fall, ’ said Nyholm. ‘Our good showing against Rollins helped us to gain a pre-season top twenty ranking.” Top standouts for Nyholm were Colleen O'Connell, Per- nilla Hallberg and Annabelle Landa.

Early in the season, head coach Wilson Campbell said, | feel like we are the strongest that we have been ever. We are very talented and have had the best recruiting year ever. We are talented on pa- per but now we have to show it on the court.” Showing it on the court was not much trouble, with three of the top four players from last year returning to the team. Two of the top three players, Peter Jetzel and Jon Treml, placed in the top one hundred players in the nation. Mark Ti- chenor, the third player, had a chance to break the school re- cord for the most matches ever won in a four year period. Joe Paskel, Brad Green, Kirk Thomas, Kevin Hodges, and Frederick Argen were the five new recruits for the team. The NLU schedule was highlighted by Southland Conference play. The North- east Men’s Tennis program joined the Southland Confer- ence this spring after four sea- sons as a charter member of the Trans American Contfer- ence.

Cunningham described this as “imaginary fighting which is judged on form.” In November, the team took their first trip to the nationals. The meet was held in Miami, Florida. The club raised money for the trip by selling coupons which were donated by Har- dee’s, their sponsor. The club uses the Shotokan style, which is the ideal way to learn karate because it teaches respect,’ said Cunningham. “Karate is the only martial art that developed in Japan. Karate is karate and kung fu is kung fu. They are two separate and distinct forms of the mar- tial arts and should not be con- fused.”’ Cunningham said he has been interested in karate all his life. ‘I got my first opportu- nity to actually learn the sport when I came to Northeast in 1980.

Since 1983 I have seen a 150 point improvement on an overall basis,’’ Walsh said. Another encouragement to the team's success is the addi- tion of a rifle range in the new baseball stadium. This facility is one of the finest in the state. “The NLU Rifle Team is an individual sport. All it takes is willpower, concentration, and discipline.

As the fitness craze con- tinues to sweep across the country, more and more peo- ple are using their leisure time to get away and enjoy their fa- vorite sports for both fun and fitness. NLU students are no excep- tion. Over forty percent of the student body take advantage of the activities and facilities provided by the Intramurals Department. The Intramurals program strives to provide a compre- hensive quality schedule of a variety of competitive sports. It also offers many recreational activities, which are designed to meet the interests and needs of the students, regardless of their abilities or skills. The program is open to all students, graduate and under- graduate, men and women. | think it is great when all stu- dents can take a part in some activity other than school,” said Glen Corbin. “Not only for the fitness but also just for the pleasure.” Kathy Washington of Bas- trop said she takes advantage of the facilities tor pleasure Fitness craze Students mandate intramurals complex : and enjoyment.

They are equipped with saunas, show- ers, and lockers for student and faculty use exclusively. Adjoining facilities include Brown Gym for badminton, volleyball, basketball and table tennis. A weight room and a dart room are both also located in Brown. On October 5, 1983; stu- dents passed a referendum for a new Physical Education Complex. The proposed $12 million fa- cility will be partially financed, ($2 million from students, $10 million from the state) through | a self-assessed fee of $15 dol- lars -per semester. The fee in- | crease will take effect in ; 86. The proposed facility will have something for everyone. It will house 16 racquetball | courts, 2 arenas with 6 basket- ball courts, badminton and volleyball courts. It will have a roller skating rink, 2 dance studios, 2 weight rooms, a body mechanics room, a gymnastics area, an in- door archery and golf area, an indoor jogging track,acomba- tives room, a wrestling room, seminar room, and an arts an crafts area. In addition, both men’s women's dressing rooms be equipped with saun steambaths and whirlpools A student lounge will pro vide an area on the east side of the campus for students to re- lax in while waiting for com- muter buses, since the com- plex will be located between the Alumni Center and Ma- lone Stadium. -Michael Harris CO ND ee CS ND COND be Intramural Results ARCHERY Men-with sights .

Intramurals Special Report Jogging: Students keep fit without pressures hortly after waking up this morning, I took a run through campus along one my favorite routes. After running for about five minutes, I turned onto a trail that winds along the edge of Bayou DeSiard. Just above the tree tops I could see the sun rising in the early morning sky. As the trail grew nearer to the bayou, a couple of ducks looked up with mild interest, but decided that I couldn't run fast enough to pose any threat and went back to resting. Soon after the bells at the church stopped ringing, I had finished half of my run. On the way back to the campus I slowed my pace and enjoyed the scenery more. Everything had turned a golden brown since the last time I had run the trail. The contrasting colors of the vegetation, blue sky, and Members of NLU women’s tennis team jog a few miles before they start their practice. 144 Sports the sun's reflection on the bay- ou stood out vividly in my mind. It was a perfect run, a run which increased rather than dulled my awareness of the scenery. Such times contribute to the beauty that so many people find in running. Today college students all across the country are turning to running as an excercise form as never be- fore. For Sharon Friday of Alex- andria “Running is a very good way to keep the extra pounds off. I’ve been running for two months and I have lost a total of 16 pounds.” “T find running to be a great form of excercise not only to build up my leg muscles,” said Gregory Burton, “but also as a great way to ease the mind.” ‘When I run it makes me less tense and | am able to ac- complish more things during the course of the day,” said Glen Williams of Vicksburg. Kathy Jenkins said that her day goes much smoother after a early morning jog. ‘I get up at six o’clock every morning and run for about a mile. | be- lieve that if you don't do any- thing before eight, your day will not be as successful.” Running can be good or bad depending on who is do- ing it and how it is done. As with any sport of vigorous physical activity, conditioning is very important. Running can be an excel- lent lung-heart circulation ex- cercise. It is important to good health and a sense of well be- ing if it is done with care and persistence and is not over done. - Michael Harris Eric Hanson SRURNAUYraii SpE SH aca es spe oaeapa Gary Patton When the temperatures began to warm up in the spring, many students shed their winter wear and put on their running shoes.

The Tomahawks flew with as much class and style as always, but it just was not enough to make it to the nationals. In order to compete in the nationals, the Tomahawks would have had to place in the top three in the region, which were Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. This year they placed fifth. Adviser Tim Sherman said, ‘We had a lot of practice and we were very strong, but we were just faced by a lot stron- ger competition.” There were two categories of events that the Tomahawks had to compete in: ground events and navigation events. The ground events included aircraft recognition, SCAN test, preflight event, and a sim- ulator event. The navigational events in- cluded message drop, power- on landing, and power- off landing. While competing in all of these events, safety was impor- tant, especially to the Toma- hawks. “Our main focus is safety. By being efficent we are learn- ing to be better and safer pi- lots, ’ stated Tim Sherman. Team co-captain Kelly Fields said, ‘‘Safety is our main control. We offer two safety seminars to the public every year. “Being the best in the nation would be great, but by stress- ing safety I feel that we are the best.

We want soccer to be recognized as a sport and N.L.U. recognized for its outstanding soccer team.” In 1982, the team placed number fifty in the national rankings. This year they were expected to place in the top twenty. This steady improve- ment has been a trademark of Kane's reign at NLU.

In 1984, the lady Indians re- ceived a 20th ranking by the Associated Press women’s col- lege poll to join two other Lou- isiana ranked teams, Louisiana Tech and LSU. The AP top 20 is selected by a panel of 65 women’s basket- ball coaches from throughout the nation and is compiled weekly by Mel Greenberg of the Philadelphia Inquirer. During the same week the Indians received their first AP top 20 ranking, a poll conduct- ed for U.S.A.

The losses included a season-open- ing loss to then-12th-ranked LSU and two losses to first ranked Louisiana Tech. Head Coach Linda Harper and Athletic Director Benny Hollis were elated about the rankings. “IT am very proud for the Lady Indians basketball team because the players have worked very hard and it is a great reward for them to re- ceive the recognition,’ said Harper, who was co-Coach of the Year in the Southland Con- ference as her team went un- defeated in the league last year. “Tl think the recognition is well-deserved by our women’s basketball team, said Hollis.

We had the people inside and outside who could put the ball in,”’ said In- dian head coach Linda Harp- er. “On the other hand, our competition was much better and that made it tougher to get the break and get the good shots, she said. One challenge our return- ing players had to face was how to come off a good year,’ said Harper. ‘Our new players had to step into a situation that automatically exerts pressure because of expectations. ’ Back for the Lady Indians were © 3’ all-American Lisa Ingram, 5 6’ all-American Eun Jung Lee, senior forward Angela Batts, and veteran Car- la Vickers.

Another bright spot was the addition of former NLU star and veteran coach Roger Stockton. “Coach Stockton helped in the crucial areas like rebound- ing and helped teach the fun- damentals of the game,” said Harper. Despite a tough schedule, the Lady Indians used the same style of play as they did last year. “We went back to our same philosophy,” said Harper. ‘We went to the fast break at every opportunity and when things didn't materi- alize, then we went to the half- court offense and worked to get the best shot we could.” While many basketball ex- perts and many fans alike had projected the Lady Indians to go ‘all the way,’ they were faced with a challenge and a tough one at that. -by Michael Harris Billy Heckford Basretball - 155 BATTS: L omewhere amid the welter of long arms be- neath the basket, the Lady Indians had a secret weapon at work. Angela Batts, a 5’-10” sen- ior, was often out-reached and out-weighed, but never out played in the world of bigger girls of today’s collegiate wom- en's basketball. Despite having to work amid tall trees, she scored her thou- sandth career point for the Lady Indians. She became only the third Lady Indian ever to do so. Batts joined the team as a walk-on in the 1980-81 season and was soon in the starting lineup. She led the team in re- bounding as a freshman and sophomore and in scoring as a sophomore with 398 points. ‘She has been a good one to have around,” said Coach Linda Harper. ‘She always steps up and gives the extra 156 Sports ady Indians Batts joined the team as a walk- on in the 1980-81 season and was soon in the starting lineup. Angela likes the hard-running Lady Indians style of play. Many of her points were layups on the fast break. Billy Heckford performance we need of her and she is very dedicated, loy- al to the team, the school and the coaching §staff, ’ added Harper. Angela might not have come to college if it wasn’t for her mother. “T didn't plan to come to school. My mother changed my mind,” said Angela. Now, her mother is her num- ber one fan who leads a con- tingent of family and friends to every home game and many of the away games. Angela played basketball four years at Winnfield High School under Coach Deloris Carter and won just about ev- ery award given to good bas- ketball players. She was team and district MVP, won a governor's award, all-American honors and was named ‘Miss’ Basketball,”’ among other accolades. She played playground bas- ketball with the sister of a young man then attending Northeast and he told Harper about Angela. They talked and after work- ing the first year out of high school in a department store where her mother is em- ployed, Angela enrolled at Northeast. She went on scholarship her second semester here and averaged 10.2 points and 7.8 rebounds that year, though the Lady Indians recorded only a 9-18 season. As her skill increased, so did the team’s success, and partly because of her efforts. In 1981-82, the Lady Indians were 12-12 and with an excel- lent recruiting year the follow- ing spring, the team moved to a 23-6 record, a conference championship and an NCAA tournament appearance. Last year Angela averaged 8.6 points and 5.8 rebounds, a Billy Heckford O deceptively low average, be- | cause according to Harper |� , and others, Angela's greatest ||; attribute was her ability to turn |||� in the important clutch perfor- | mance, when it was most | needed. “She was always a very I steady, consistent, hard-work- | ing player, day in and day out }))jx and she was the same way in a ||; game,’ said Harper. “She seemed to perform’); even better when there was - more pressure, against tough- |); er opposition.” Her quiet, reserved exterior with all but close friends gives’ the impression she is icy cool } ( under pressure. “T get just as nervous as any’ |}; of the other girls.

Their value to the girls’ mo- rale at home games was very important,’ said Coach Linda Harper. “They helped build the kind of excitement about the team in ways we may never understand.” Walker was the brain-child behind the organization, which originated during a gab session with fellow students Turner, Lawrence Finley and Michael Jones. Walker, who was a Lady In- dian fan from the start, en- dured their 12-12, 1981-82 season, and decided some- thing needed to be done to encourage people to come out to Lady Indian games. “We were trying to figure out why the fans weren't more enthusiastic,’ he said. “We wondered what we could do to motivate them. We hit on the idea of makeup and costumes, hoping some of the folks would come out just to see what we were going to do next, then they would get hooked on Lady Indian basketball.”’ Standard adornment for the Wild Boys at every game is war paint. After all, they back Lady Indians. Before each game, howev- er, they hold a “dress code meeting” and a theme is se- lected for attire at the next game. For example, at last season's NCAA-tourney opener against Montana, the Wild Boys showed up in shorts, blazers, ties and white shirts, carrying brief-cases, with Wall Street Journals under one arm. The dress code theme for the game? ‘Just another day at the office,’’ and it apparently was for the Lady Indians. They defeated Montana 72-53 for a trip to Los Angeles.

Ralphael Turner is an occupational therapy major from Vidalia, Lawrence Finley a psychology major from Farmerville and Michael Jones a law enforce- ment major from Winnsboro. Walker is especially attuned to the increasing excellence of women's athletics, having helped coach girls’ basketball and track teams while in school. ‘A lot of the girls play pret- ty aggressively,” he said. “Some of their games have been suppressed for so long, but now so many good players are developing. “Ladies basketball is no longer the slow, boring game that everyone used to dread watching, and if the folks came to see the Lady Indians basket- ball they'd see why,’ gaid Walker.

Lady Indians Southland conference champs Paul Speed UNOFFICIAL A gain this year, an unoffi- cial champion was crowned in women’s track and again that crown went to Northeast. Women’s track is not a Southland Conference sport but most league schools have a women’s team. Conference teams in the race for the crown were Arkansas State, Lamar, and Texas-Arlington. The Lady Indians won the first unofficial “championship” last year with 46 % points here at the Civic Center. Returning in 1984 were indi- vidual champions in three events. They were Kathy Gar- letts and Clotee Cowans. Garletts won the 880 in 2:18 last year while Cowans won both the 60-yard-dash and the 440 with times of 7.08 and 58.06. Cowans bettered her timing in the 440 in 1984. She won the event in the NLU Invita- tional and ran the 60-yard- dash in 7.17. Garletts failed to place in the 880 by mid-season but she and teammate Pat LeBlanc were among the top entries in the event. Also in 1984 two Lady Indi- ans were ranked nationally in their fields. Lauri Young and Cowans were ranked among athletes across the country in their field events for 1983 by Tracm and Field News. Young was ranked 15th among U.S. athletes in the heptathlon with a score of 5,490 points in the seven event competition. She made the score at the National Sports Festival Meet in Colorado Springs, Colo., where she set a Sports Festi- val record for the heptathlon high jump with 5-11%4. “It's pretty incredible to rank in the top 15 in your fir year in the event,’ said Den nis Groll, head coach. “T 1984 we hope that Lauri cai move into the top 10 in the event.” Cowans was 3lst in th 200-meter dash with a time 23.75 at the Rice Meet Champions in Houston, Tex as.

The women returned to the field with a record of five out of six meets from last year. They had perfect scores in three of those meets, so it was a bit difficult for them to place much better this year. The top three ladies were re- turnees: Cathy Martin, Pam LeBlanc, and Pat LeBlanc. Ju- lia Flotron, Kathy Garletts, and new recruit Susan Chavin rounded out the squad. The lineup was solid from spot one through six. Pam LeBlanc held the number one spot for the ladies, finishing first in all events. The men’s team finished seventh in the SLC last year, but that was deceptive. The team was a very young. The men ran hard and gave their all, but they lacked the depth to be competitive. They re-ente red the field this year with hope. This was the toughest season faced by the men in the history of North- east’s cross country team. The team had only three members from last years’ squad, adding four freshman and one junior college trans- fer. The top three were fresh- men Donald Fowler, Russel Mangum, and Eugene Knight. They were all about equal in ability and had good distance backgrounds. Seventh year coach Dennis Groll said, “Both our men’s and women’s teams are much improved over last year. The men have been helped out with new recruits and exper- ience, while the women’s only major help was experience.” - ERICH PONTI Cross Country 163 Thin clads plagued with Injury Host SLC indoor nfortunately for North- IL) east track, the home field advantage isn’t nearly as important as it is in some other sports, which was one of the reasons the Indians were not favored to win the fifth annual Southland Conference Indoor Championship. Another reason was a lengthly injury list but veteran coach, Bob Groseclose, didn't figure on his team beating de- fending champion Lamar even if everybody was healthy. In the 60-yard dash, one of NLU's best, Mike Hill didn't run because of a strained mus- cle. Northeast runners ranked 1-2-3 in the 60-yard dash. Jerry Lacy was first with 6.30, Hill second with 6.32 and freshman Benny Mitchell third with 6.34. The only other event in which a Northeast athlete lead was the 1,000-yard run, where sophomore Doug Glover's Doug Glover was a clear winner in the 1,000 yard run at the Southland Conference Indoor meet. 164 Sports championship 2:11.72 was tops. NLU did not lead in the high hurdles, but Indian Kenneth Link was the defending cham- pion in the event. He won last year with 7.36. Other Northeast athletes who ranked in the top six in pre-meet best were freshman Andre Ester with 24-2 Y% long jump, Bobby Richardson with a 15-5 % pole vault, David Green with a 6-10 high jump and Dennis Ester with a 48-9 triple jump.

Figuratively speaking, how- ever, the junior from Jefferson, Texas, is head and shoulders above past Indian stars in that event. The figures to remember are S57 feet and three inches, which is the distance Reed threw last year to break the NLU shot record, and five feet and six inches, which is Reed's height. Being short was never a handicap to Toulouse-Lautrec when it came to painting pic- tures of Napoleon when it came to winning battles, but for basketball players and shot putters, being short is a prob- lem — or it should be. “Shot putters of Sammy's ability are usually 6-2 or better and weigh at least 230 pounds,”’ said track coach Bob Groseclose. “Sammy is 5-6 and only weighs around 215. So pound for pound and inch for inch, I don't think there are many shot putters around anv- where who are any better.’ Reed himself laughs off his so-called handicap. ‘A lot of guys tell me | don't have any business being out there, he said. ‘‘But I don’t let it bother me as long as | beat them.” He beats most of them. As a freshman, he finished below second in only two meets and in 1983 he ranked second in his event in the Southland Conference. Reed makes up for his lack of size with speed. Groseclose quotes one towering rival shot putter, after watching Reed uncork a long put, as mutter- ing under his breath, “lt | had his quickness, I’d be throwing 80 feet.” He’s also very strong, thanks in part to the strength program graduate assistant coach Mil- ton Williams, an excellent shot putter himself, has him on, plus he’s an extremely hard worker with an infectiously positive at- titude. “Sammy is a very happy young man,” said Groseclose, “and he’s such a great asset to the spirit and motivation of our team. He just has a super atti- tude that rubs off on his team- mates.” Reed may be operating un- der another handicap but, like his lack of size, he doesn't rec- ognize it as such. Practically all of today’s leading shot putters use what is called the Parry O'Brian style — they start with their back to the putting area, then whirl as they release the shot, thus gaining extra mo- mentum, Reed, however, uses what coach Williams jokingly refers to as “The Caveman Style.” He starts half-turned toward the put area and launches the shot in a relatively simple man- uever — one, said Williams, that a junior high youngster would use, ‘one who didn't know any better.” Gr oseclose and Williams tried to change Reed's style early but it didn't take. He went into a slump that includ- ed an out-of-the money 51-0 effort in the Southland Conter- ence indoor meet. ‘Very em- barrassing,”’ said Reed. So he went back to his style and now he has the school re- cord, something he’s been aiming for ever ever since he came to NLU. “T've been shooting at the record ever since | got here,’ he said. “I broke it in the dual meet with Southern Illinois with 55-10 but scratched.” Reed has been breaking shot put records for some time now. He got started in the event as a junior high student for lack of any other event to compete in. “T was the little fat guy,” Reed recalls. ‘I was sitting on the bench in basketball and | wanted something | could win at in the spring. | was too big to — sprint or high jump or pole | vault, so I didn't know what | else to do.” He and the shot hit it off right away. As a freshman, he was good enough to move up to the varsity after only three meets and finished fifth in the district varsity meet with 48-7 — three feet better than the district freshman record. As a sophomore, he was sec- ond in the state, second in the state again as a junior and then | the state champion as a senior | and unbeaten until finally los- § ing in a post-season ‘‘meet of champions” event. He had a | best of 62-6. At Northeast, he set a fresh- man record with 55-2, an etfort exceeded by only one pre vious Indian, the late John Hol- fy lingsworth, who set the school } record of 55-91 2 in JO7aI That's the record Reed broke. It was the fifth oldest of the NLU records in the standard events. Since he’s only a junior, it is not likely to be his last record. He's undoubtedly going to prove many more times that even in the shot put, good things can come in small pack | ages. -by Sports Information =the Rb Lea o tae FRONT ROW: derry Lacy, Robert Moore, Michael Waller, Ron Dai- ley, Kevin Foil, Sammy Reed, SECOND ROW: Lonnie Sim- mons, Ben Dews, Alfred Kinney, Tim Holcomb, Bobby Richard- son, Jay Wallace, THIRD ROW: Shawn McCoy, James Parman, Calvin Thomas, Dennis Ester, Steve Alexander, Greg Adair, FOURTH ROW: Brent Gnatzig, David Hawkins, Greg Soulis, Al- vin lassienge, Michael Jones, Keith Sims, Doug Mitchell, Alvin Williams, Chris Jarvis, Roger Johnston, Kenneth Link SIXTH ROW: Hugh Stafford, David Green, Donald Clark, SEVENTH ROW: Dennis Groll, David Bea- vers, Milton Williams and Bob Groseclose-head coach. ee ee K, eae aoe es seman ome ES Eric Hanson Track 167 168 Sports Given a curve ball, Andy Jones pops it for a high fly. Tribe becomes Southland conference Champs Atter first year in league aseball fever has hit the NLU campus and it is catching. This fever is spreading so rapidly that some are calling it an epi- demic. The Tribe is finally on the move, a move which seems to be in the positive direction. In 1983, the team moved into its big, new, million dollar sta- dium — and it’s a pitcher's park, with 330 foot foul lines and the centertield fence 400 yards away. The Indians also made a move to the Southland Con- ference, where they compet- ed with Arkansas State and Louisiana Tech for the north division crown. As the Tribe continued to make positive moves, many students, and the community as well, began rallying around the Indians. ‘Fan support was a whole lot bet- ter,’ said Lou St. Amant, head coach. “We drew over 5000 people last season. This was in part because of the new stadium and partly be- cause were playing good ball, and that's what the peo- ple want to see,” said St. Amant. In 1983, coach St. Amant and his squad set their goals high, for what was supposed to be a tough season for them. In their first year in the new league, they were Southland Conference champs and advanced to the central region. “We set our goals to win and we met those goals,’ said St. Amant. ‘That was a big achievement and high honor for our players.” Speaking of honors, St. Amant was selected South- land Conference “coach of the year’. ‘Being selected coach of the year was a great honor. | really thank the play- ers and the coaches in the league for that,’ St. Amant said. The Indians finished their season of play with an overall record of 32-21, hitting .255 as a team. ‘We played a lot better. We got plenty of help from our pitching staff. Even though we got beat by Texas at the central regionals, | think the experience will be something our players can look back on,” said 3. Amant.

On the mound St. Amant got good pitching from Matt Dor- nier, Mitch Thomas, and Mark Wisniewski; in the in- field was Greg Cain. Outfielder Bill Frazier said, “playing in the NCAA tour- nament was a tremendous experience and a plus for NLU.” “We've accomplished our mission,’’ said Mitch Thomas, pitcher. “Next time we'll set our goal a little higher.” As far as the Southland Conference is concerned, St. Amant thinks it is a strong league, but Northeast should continue to be a contender if the hitters come through to back up a young and talent- ed mound staff. “It’s a good conference to play in,” said St. Amant. ‘We get an auto- matic bid to play in the NCAA tournament. All in all it is a good baseball confer- ence.” It is clear that the tribe is ready to play ball. In a year where the Indians moved to a new conference and wasn’t expected to be a top con- tender, the team made smoke signals and let everyone know that they are ready to play competitive ball.

Baseball 171 Sports beat Sports information leaves no stone unturned M any universities and colleges are known for their sports programs. For a person or place to be- come known, it must be pro- moted. Northeast Louisiana Univer- sity has its own sports promot- ers. Their department is known as Sports Information Services. Bob Anderson is head of the department and is assisted by Gary Dennison, Mike Albert- son, and Dan O'Conner. Their job is very important to the school, sports, and the individual players. Anderson said, ‘Most peo- ple hear about a university through its athletics, so our job is important. “We try to attract people's attention, which brings them to the university. This way every- body benefits from it, the school and the sport,”’ Ander- son said. Dan O'Connor said, “We reach the public through the news media. That way North- east gets mentioned, which in- creases our publicity.” Mike Albertson said, “We try to encourage people to look at our players. The suc- cess of our individual players is as important as our team suc- cess.’ Geary Deniston said, ‘We also try to help the athletic de- Billy Heckford partment get their publicity and provide writers with infor- mation for articles.” These are not the only func- tions of the SIS. It has a num- ber of others, such as distribut- ing brochures about the sports, making schedule cards and posters, and writing fact sheets. With all of these services, the SIS leaves no area of our sports program uncovered. The service is not widely known to the public, but it is doing an excellent job for Northeast’'s sports program. by- Erich Ponti Bob Anderson types a news re- lease for an upcoming game.

The department offers bac- calaureate degrees in office management and in business and office administration and a one-year office administration certificate program. “All of the new technology has certainly revolutionized the office and NLU has kept up with the demand for skilled workers with its new program and revamped courses,” said Dr. Brantly. ‘Several of these courses now appeal even to male students within what have historically been female- dominated curricula.” For example, what was once typewriting is now called “key boarding.”’ Not only do stu- dents learn the keyboard posi- tions of a standard typewriter, but also the function keys and the use of screens or micro- computers. The use of software packages is also an integral part of the instruction. Records management is a course that evolved from sim- ple beginnings. What was 176 Business once just filing now includes storage and retrieval of media generated by the equipment. Field trips to area businesses which use such state-of-the-art equipment augment the NLU students’ understanding of the process. As automated office equip- ment becomes more and more sophisticated, the distinction between the word processor and the computer becomes less pronounced. “Once, if op- erators had to work with both data and copy, they had to have two terminals in the work station. Now, through increased software campatibility, a single unit can be used for text edit- ing, data entry, records man- agement, math computations, financial projections and graphics, ’ said Dr. Brantly. “Today, more students take as an option word processing over shorthand in office ad- ministration because they find it more exciting,’’ she added. ‘As part of the word process- ing option, students will study machine transcription instead of shorthand. Shorthand study is still very much encouraged in the department, however, because it usually improves the user’s grammar skills.” Keeping up Business Ed. keeps up with techonology Many employers specify that they would like to have an em- ployee with at least some short- hand background whether they intend to use it or not.” It seems that employers place the same emphasis on gram- mar as we do,” said Brantley. “As a matter of fact, poor knowledge of language is the most frequently heard com- plaint from businesses across the country.” Word processors make it more likely that the operator will originate documents rath- er than just transcribe them. ‘Students in majors other than otfice administration enroll in the two word processing courses as they are seeking personal skill or want to be able to combine word process- ing with their careers,”’ she said. Dr. Brantley felt that busin- esses’ more recent interest in trained workers is because many of the word processor manutacturers no longer offer extensive training but expect the operators to pic up the skills themselves from training manuals. “While the manuals are mestly selftraining, a person who has formal classroom training on visual display ter- minals and keyboards learns more quickly and has the op- portunity to apply skills to real- istic business application. When they go to work, they are confident of their skills and are highly productive,’ she stated. ‘Therefore, an office admin- istration graduate with a basic understanding of automated equipment operations, termin- ology and procecures is in- valuable to the person who has just spent thousands of dollars for a new word processor.” Both Dr. Brantley and Mrs. Carolyn Dolecheck, associate professor of business educa- tion and office administration agree that graduates who have worked with word processors are more likely to find employ- ment in the business communi- _ ty than applicants who are un- familiar with the medium. “Our younger graduates are geting jobs that once were reserved for older, exper- ienced people because of the familiarity with word proces- sors and computers that they acquire in our curricula,” ad- ded Mrs. Dolecheck.

Now, due to an increase in enrollment, the university has begun recruiting additional well-qualified faculty mem- bers. Over 2200 students enrolled in the 13 undergraduate busi- ness majors and 125 students in the MBA program. Ninety percent of the enrollees are from Louisiana. The 54 full-time business faculty members have been closely associated with the community. Nearly all had re- sponsible experience in busi- ness or government before en- tering academic careers. Over two-thirds have pro- vided consulting services in the last few years, and approxi- mately half have served on a business or governmental task force or committee recently. The College of Business at Northeast has been interested in overall high quality, in all areas. Teachers, selection of 180 Business texts, and grading and stan- dards have received top prior- ity. A major thrust of the CBA has been high-quality colle- giate education for business, particularly through effective classroom instruction, stressing good student advising in all areas of business. Additional computer and in- formation processing equip- ment has been acquired and integrated into teaching and research activities. A third computer laboratory has been established and additional fac- ulty members employed. Faculty members have been consulting professionally with local and national organiza- tions, which has enhanced the teaching and service images of the CBA. Several business student or- ganizations at Northeast have been top-ranked in national competition. NLU's chapter of Pi Omega Pi was ranked num- ber one in the nation, and local chapters of the National Colle- giate Association for Secre- taries, Delta Sigma Pi, and Pi Sigma Epsilon were also in the top ranking. The presidents of the stu- dent organizations, along with CBA members of the SGA, comprised a Student Advisory Council for the dean. The Council has been espe- cially helpful in dealing with accreditation, make-up exami- nations and other matters. NLU’s SBDC (Small Busi- ness Development Center), under the direction of Dr. Paul Dunn, has led the way in es- tablishing a statewide network of small business development centers. Last year the local SBDC de- voted 584 hours to manage- ment counseling for over 300 client contracts. Counseling hours for tele- phone contracts totalled 179. Over 70 cases were completed through the Small Business In- stitute. The College of Business as NLU has been helped be sev- eral organizations over the years, such as providing re- search opportunities for stu- dents and faculty. Dr. Robert Harrison, associ- ate dean of business, said he is grateful to everyone that played a part in making the Northeast CBA the success it is He said that with the hard work of a lot of students, facul- ty, advisers, and the support of the community, we have an excellent College of Business. Dr. Van McGraw, Dean of CBA, pointed out, “Year by year, we have continued to in- sist on high quality in each as- pect of the operation of the College of Business Adminis- tration.”’ We have looked to the long run and made good use of limited resources.

Ber Class begins Looking tor a few good people iD) r. Don Locke, head of the teacher education pro- gram, said the educa- tional system is like the ma- rines. ‘We are looking for a few good people, the best.” The education department is responsible for the develop- ment of curricula in elemen- tary teaching, early childhood, and secondary education, and for the supervision and prep- aration of teachers. A major role of the depart- ment is to provide professional services and leadership to school systems. Another function of the de- partment is to offer curricula and instruction leading to the Master’s and Specialist’s De- grees in elementary and sec- ondary teaching. The requirements for the teacher education program are some of the highest stan- dards on campus. To get into the Northeast program, students must have a certain ACT score, a 2.2 over- all grade point average after attaining 72 hours, and three hours of professional counsel- ing outside of the education Pi Omega Pi: Eugene Jones, Ruth Miller, Elizabeth Pater- son, and Sondra Gates. 182 Education department. To graduate with a degree in education, a student must have a 2.5 grade point aver- age. He must also pass the Na- tional Teachers Examination (NTE) in order to be certified to teach in accredited schools. “A student in the teacher education program is one who desires to work with people, is above average academically, and is committed to his profes- sion,’ said Dr. Locke. “Teaching is a people-ori- ented thing. A teacher does not work with the students alone. The individual has to work with a wide range of peo- ple, including the parents and the administration.” There is a laboratory exper- ience program which allows students to see and understand school from a teacher's point of view. Because of this, a graduating student teacher knows what type of situations he is likely to encounter in dif- ferent school environments. At Northeast, a student teacher must have 12 hours of classroom observation before graduating. Most student teachers agree with this policy because it gives them first hand exper- ience in the classroom. Elizabeth Patterson, a senior in business education, said she loves working with high school students. “| think it was a good idea to put the additional hours on classroom observation. A teacher has to be flexible and must be able to adjust to all situations. “T had the opportunity to work with the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) students 2 years after graduat- ing from high school. The or- ganization gives them a chance to work in the business community.” Elizabeth said the NTE has helped cut down on the num- ber of students going into the field of education. The NTE has made it a point, that if one wants to pass the NTE, he must have general knowledge in math, English, and social stud- ies. Kathy Long, a senior in physical education, said she enjoys working with people period. I love to see and be with people that are growing each day in knowledge and physical awareness.” “T love the field of educa- tion. It may not pay as much, but I would not go into some- thing that pays better, and there is no enjoyment in it at all for me.” Pi Omega Pi is the Natonal Business Teacher Education Honor Society.

The Military Science IV cadets attended Advanced Camp at Fort Riley, and the MS Ill students attended ROTC Basic Camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky, or Nation- al Guard Basic Training, which is held at several dif- ferent places. No matter where our ca- dets have been, they are ready to climb the next rung of the ladder. Every cadet in the corps has one goal, and that goal is to be a commissioned officer in the Regular Army or National Guard Army Reserves. Every Wednesday cadets have the chance to better themselves as leaders at a lab. The labs are to prepare MS III cadets for the train- ing which awaits them in Kansas. Meanwhile, the MS IV cadets are gathering all the knowledge that Major Wil- liams dishes out in order to become effective leaders. “The NLU ROTC pro- gram when represented at Ft. Riley, Kansas,” says Tim Jenkins, Cadet Battalion Commander, “still remains in the top 33 percent of the 128 schools.” Training to be all they can be is a challenge within itself, and meeting the chal- lenges is what cadets do best. - Charles Hailey Discipline is a trait that is en- forced on the MS III Cadets in order to better prepare them for the mental and physical training at Advanced Camp at Fort Riley, Kansas.

This moment is for all those who have been haunted by dark shadows of death, that live in the backs of their minds. We stand with hands over hearts, and sing the national anthem. Are we wondering why the hell we are doing this? Or do we remember that these men and women pressed on and on, fighting for what the stars and stripes stand for, and praying that old glory might forever wave? We sit on the edges of our seats as the game nears its end, hoping that one extra point will be scored for our side. If foxholes could talk, they would share with us many sol- diers, who, in despair, hoped that they had made some con- tribution to the cause.

Dr. Fandal stated, ‘We un- derstand other cultures through their languages.

Liberal Arts Moving out Pre-law students prepared for future here are several factors in choosing a law school: reputation of the school, size of the school, placement of law graduates, and the cost. “I hope to score high: enough on my LSAT to be ac- cepted by Southern Methodist University, said 21-year-old Thomas Mitchell Bacon, a sen- ior and legal studies major from Haughton, La. “IT also hope to practice cor- porate law in the Dallas area. | chose SMU over Louisiana schools because Louisiana schools teach the old Napo- leonic Code (civil law). “The 49 other states operate under common law. Because Louisiana schools teach civil law, it would be virtually im- possible to practice out of state.’’ Bacon said. “SMU graduates usually graduate earning at least $28,000 a year.” According to Bacon, NLU has the only legal studies cur- riculum in the state. He feels that some of the courses in the curriculum should be changed. For example, legislative pro- cess could be substituted for CIS 201. ‘Science courses are not necessary as they are re- petitive of high school sci- ences,’ Bacon said. “If I had it to do all over again, | don’t think | would major in legal studies, because if you are not successful in law school, all you have is a de- gree in pre-law.” Because of this, Bacon's ad- vice to freshman majoring or planning to major in legal studies is, ‘Although the cur- riculum is excellent, if there are any doubts about your pur- suit in a career of law, | would advise you to change your ma- jor or concentrate your elec- tives in another field, such as business or accounting.” The market is already satu- rated with lawyers. The Bar- rons’ Guide to Law Schools states that by 1985 there will be 639,000 lawyers, but only 500,000 jobs. “Therefore even law _ stu- dents with high academic averages and great scores on the LSAT will have a hard time in the future, Bacon said. Bacon also offered this ad- vice, ‘Get involved in as many organizations as possible and meet as many people as you can. This will help you deal with people better and it looks good on your resume.” Bacon has been or is a mem- ber of NLU 31, SGA, Fiat Jus- tia, Kappa Alpha, Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Ata Sigma, IFC, and the Union Board. Besides the ten hours a week Bacon spends studying, he enjoys partying and swim- ming. Bacon graduated from Kai- ser Slautern, West Germany where his father was stationed. “The practicum will be the most interesting part. I will gain a first hand look at a law- yer’s job performance and gain experience | wouldn't get inside the classroom,’’ Bacon said. Bacon has political ambi- tions and is looking forward to the career opportunities and the financial gains that lawyers receive. - Charles Hailey Mel Riser _ Fiat Justitia- First row: Dr. Patri- cia Fontaine, Advisor; Emily Heney, Jack Curtis, Lori Travis, and Mark Heffer, Advisor.

Shawn's interest in pre-law began two years before she entered NLU. She worked for an attorney as a secretary, and it was then that law ‘‘whetted her appetite.” One of the main reasons that Shawn is so determined may be because her family has al- ways been behind her. As she puts it, ‘The encour- agement from my family has gotten me through the worst times.’’ Shawn added that she goes to for herself now as she used to go to school for her parents. Shawn's goal is to attend law school at Tulane University in New Orleans on a legislative scholarship. Though she is gradually accomplishing her goal, the road has not been easy. One of the most enjoyable things Shawn has encountered has been her practicum. Of this she said, “I was already familiar with office procedures, whereas the average student would just be getting familiar with a court room or collateral mortgage form. In my practi- cum, | do successions and min- eral title opinions.” Shawn's curriculum may be difficult, but she copes well by studying an average of fifteen hours a week in addition to “uaw schools aren’t going to care if you and your boyfriend or girl- friend broke up and you could not concentrate.” - Shawn Alford class time. Thou gh she devotes most of her time to studies, she still finds time to do a few other things. She is a member of Fiat Jus- tia, a law organization, and in her spare time, she enjoys horseback riding and water skiing. Shawn Amy Alford is an ex- ample of a student who has put her priorities in order, and she has some valuable advice to of- fer freshman, especially those in pre-law. She believes that from the first test, freshman should real- ize the importance of their grades. She states that “law schools aren't going to care if you and your boytriend or a girlfriend broke up, and you couldn't concentrate on school. Also the university feels that if you are old enough to attend school, then you are responsi- ble for your grades. It’s really up to you.” As tar as the pre-law cur- riculum is concerned, Shawn feels that four healths and pe credits are not necessary as well as the science electives. Shawn Amy Alford has set high goals for herself, and she is willing to sacrifice much to attain these goals. As she puts it, ‘In under- graduate school, I tend to be intimidated by the smart males in my class. This makes me mad at myself and | am deter- mined to try harder. I am self confident about my future.” - Amber Baldwin Liberal Arts 193 Quality seekers Making advancements in Special Education he Special Education De- partment at NLU is com- prised of three full-time faculty members.

Alpha Psi Omega is an hon- orary dramatic fraternity com- posed of students who express an interest in dramatic produc- tions.

This allows them to learn everything possi- ble about theatre productions. Jo Anne feels that Alpha Psi Omega can be defined as a motivation tool to develop stu- dent interest in all aspects of theatre, such as stage manage- ment, acting, make-up, etc. Tom Bunch said, ‘Working with young people interested in dramatic productions offers me the opportunity to help Tonya Courson and Gail Debiase prepare for the opening of the op- era, Suor Angelica, which Alpha Psi Omega worked behind the scenes to provide the back- ground.

Clinicals are actual shifts at hospitals in which student nurses begin work the second semester of the sophomore year. One semester usually con- sists of two or three rotations, each lasting about a month, so a student does not spend the entire semester in one depart- ment. Clinicals are three days a week and student nurses usu- ally work from 7 a.m. until noon. Students nurses at Northeast rotate among Glenwood Re- gional Medical Center, St. Francis Medical Center, and E.A. Conway Hospital. Upon reporting for duty, student nurses take the current report from the nigh t nurse and receive patient assign- ments for that shift.

But for an occupational ther- apy major, the teaching of such things is merely routine. Helping one help himself is basically the sum of an occu- pational therapists job. The Occupational Therapy program at NLU was started in 1970 and is the first accredited four year program of its kind in Louisiana. The program is jointly accre- dited by the American Medi- cal Association and the Ameri- can Occupational Therapy As- sociation. If a person loses a limb, a child has a learning disability or someone has a loss of mobil- ity of a limb caused by an acci- dent or stroke, that person no longer has to face a future of total dependency.

Lee Sens, program director of the occupational therapy program, said that the goal of occupational therapy is ‘to help patients to maximum function in all spheres regard- less of disabilities.” “NLU has an associate de- gree program which has also been approved by the Ameri- can Occupational Therapy As- sociation,”” stated Sens. “The two-year program en- ables students to be eligible for certification as an occupatio nal therapy assistant. The baccalaureate program consists of four and one-half years of classroom preparation and clinical experience. The freshman and sopho- more years consist of pre-pro- fessional courses in the beha- vorial and biological sciences. These are designed to pre- pare the student for the pro- fesssional courses in the junior and senior years of the pro- gram. Students learn such occupa- tional therapy services as the design, fabrication and appli- cation of splints; sensorimotor activities; and the use of crafts which are specially designed to improve the physical, psy- cho-social or developmental condition of the client. They learn guidance in se- lection and use of adaptive equipment; therapeutic activi- ties enhance functional perfor- mance; and_pre-vocational evaluation and training. They also learn about consu- lation concerning the adapta- tion of physical environments for the handicapped through their various courses. Sens stated that being an oc cupational therapist is very re warding, but it can also be very tough sometimes. “A patient can get wane | and angry at you when you are trying to help him. But this is a normal aspect ot the recovery process, and we | as professionals must help the | patient through this period. _ “In the physical area, we ask | ourselves, “What functio can we return to the patient? “If there’s a loss of strengt or motion, we try to regain it. it can't be regained, we try to } compensate for it by using adaptive equipment or teach- ing the patient one arm dress ing if necessary.

It is striving to meet the de- mand for health care profes- sionals in this area for the 1980s. “Radiologic technology is the health profession con- cerned with the art and sci- ence of making radiographs,” said Nadia Bugg, programm director and assistant professor of radiologic technology at Northeast. “A radiologic technologist is a skilled person qualified by technical education to provide patient services using various radiologic procedures,’’ said Bugg. “As a part of the radiology team, the technologist assists the physicians who specialize in the use of x-rays and other forms of ionizing radiation.” She explained that the tech- nologist often supplies the in- Chi Beta Gamma: First Row: Hattie Eubanks, Debbie Ray, Be- delia McGuffee, Kelly Book, Don- na Smith, Jeannie Parker, Linda Davis, Terri Laskey-Advisor.

Currently, the four-year pro- gram consists of two years of pre-professional courses and two years of professional edu- cation with clinical applica- tions at three area hospitals. When the students gra- duate, they are the eligilble to take the national certifying ex- amination given by the Ameri- can Registry of Radiologic Technologists. “NLU graduates have a 100 percent passing rate on the exam, with most scoring above the national average,’ Bugg said. Northeast presently has the largest baccalaureate program in radiologic technology in Louisiana, and it is one of only 20 such degree programs in the United States. The program was accredit- ed by the Committee of Allied Health Education and Accre- diation of the American Medi- cal Association in 1979. The NLU program, housed in the nursing building, fea- tures a unique energized labo- ratory where radiologic tech- nology students get hands-on experience with modern ra- diologic equipment under su- pervised instruction. The energized lab is lead- lined to prevent radiation leak- age and features a lead glass observati on window through which students can observe the x-ray process in an adjoin- ing learning laboratory. With the profession expand- ing into many new areas of specialization, the NLU radio- logic technology program will prepare students for various career opportunities. A graduate from the pro- gram will be qualified to work in any of the areas of radiolo- gic technology, including ul- trasound technology, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine and computerized tomography scans. In addition, radiation ther- apy and nuclear medicine are two rapidly growing fields | which use radioactive isotopes | to treat and diagnose such dis- } ea ses as cancer. NLU students are also get- | ting experience in the use of || computerized tomography scans, which are computer as- sisted x-ray scans that enable the technologist to see certain planes within the body such as the head or abdomen. Bugg believes the job out- look for radiologic technolo- gists is excellent, especially in the southern states. “The quality of our students and faculty contribute to the success of our graduates in ob- taining positions at hospitals and in teaching positions at other radiologic technology! programs. We feel this shows, the excellence of the NLU ra- diologic technology pro-|} gram,’ Bugg said. -by Marilyn Jones The members of Kappa Epsilon had several guest speakers from throughout the Twin City area that spoke on various subjects.

The SGA tackled the problem of lessening the students discomfort on the east side of Malone Stadium by working with the admin- istration and was able to provide more aisles and seats. Vendors for conces- sions were added to further accomodate students. Plans to back the seats are being made and will cost about $10,000. “A quarter of a million dollars has already been sunk into this project.” said SGA President shown Murphy. “The building of an Intra- mural PE Complex has STUDENT GOVERNMENT AS- SOCIATION Executive Officers for 1983-84 are from left: Shawn Murphy, President; Kyle Russeil, Vice President; Lisa Myles, Secre- tary; and Rick Pettis, Treasurer. been a priority for about five years, but a very low priority. said Murphy. “Brown Gym is_ under- staffed and facilities are un- derbuilt.

Perhaps one of the most controversial issues was the changing of the Homecom- ing court. The SGA had to find a way to please both the students and the admin- istration.

The office that the SGA was to move into or did move into was going to be used re- gardless. Another student affairs office was going to relocate in the top of the Student Union Building,” said Murphy in defense of a statement in which he said that the administration had done the SGA a favor by moving their office. “The new office has a better view and perhaps easier access for the students.’’ said Mur- phy.

Political wars NLU young Democrats and Republicans were active in campaigning he gubernatorial cam- paign in Louisiana was heated. There were strong emotions on both sides. NLU was not left out of this conflict. NLU’s Young Demo- crats and College Republicans were both active in campaign- ing for their respective candi- dates. There were special steering committee meetings. There were ads in the Pow Wow. Students were stationed out- side the SUB giving out infor- mation and bumper stickers to interested passers-by. In a Pow Wow editorial, Shawn Murphy, SGA presi- dent, was accused of improp- erly using meeting time to campaign for his candidate. The Pow Wow sponsored a mock election held on Friday, October 7, 1983. Treen won this mock election, supporting at least one person's conten- tion that educated voters would vote for the incumbent governor. There were notices around campus supporting particular candidates. Some such notices urged the voter to support communist or socialist candi- dates. However, the most vin- dictive materials concerned Edwards and Treen. After a long campaign, the election on October 22, 1983 cut short further debate. Edwin Edwards received a majority of the vote. Therefore, a run-off election was unnecessary. Edwin Edwards was elected governor of Louisiana. by Ken Purdy Eric Hanson Young Democrats set up tables on several different occasions to provide information on their candidate to students on cam- pus. Political Wars KNLU adds If rock is your thing, then let KNLU rock you right into the swing of school. KNLU is making several changes in its format that will improve and update its album- oriented rock format. Music director, Lee Clark, says KNLU will strive to main- tain an original sound, but will also relate its programming to that of other album-oriented rock stations which have prov- en to be successful, such as KNMO, in Shreveport and KRNO, in New Orleans. ‘Survival of the album rock format depends completely on the public’s perception that this format will bring you mu- sic first,’’ said Clark. Rock to update format “If you look at KNLU's play- list, you can see songs that will be top 40 in a few weeks. We also play more music,” says Clark. ‘We're noncommer- cial, and this allows us to play 51 minutes of music an hour.” Other improvements _in- clude the addition of 40 new albums to KNLU’s Music Li- brary. Several new programs have been added such as Two for Tuesday, Top Ten Count- down, which is aired on Tues- day nights, at midnight, and Midnight Snack. KNLU now subscribes to the Album Network, which is a magazine from Hollywood that deals entirely with album rock. By subscribing to this maga- zine, KNLU will be able to keep up with the current) trends in album rock and play) the songs which are rated high on the album rock charts, said Clark. . Program director, Mary Poe’ said these improvements will! raise the quality of the pro- gramming and overall format. The station will also continue’ to designate time periods each week for specialized shows such as the Jazz Show, Reli- gious Music, and the Concert Miniature.

Once selected on the prep staff, a semester of orientation is required. Prior to the prep program, there are three weeks of semi-professional training. Preppers learn to build sets and they practice skits. A number of skits were writ- ten by the staff. One was ‘The wer SS Eric Hanson Dating Feud,’ which ex- plained campus rules, facili- ties, and organizations. An- other was “Went with the Wind,” which explained cam- pus life. The staff acted out the skits in each session, gave campus tours, helped participants pre- register, and provided recrea- tion consisting of swimming in the natatorium, volleyball, can- oeing, and ping-pong. The program sponsored a dance with a D.J. for each ses- sion. It also sponsored a variety show which was given in the Elbow Room. Connie F.

The university was founded in 1981 and this is where the name comes from. NLU 31 was established in March 1982, to represent the Alumni associ- ation at university functions. The organization has a total of 31 members and is strictly alumni-funded. It's not a social | or honor group or a glamorous | one; it’s a group of people that is hard working, enthusiastic and loves Northeast. Members reflect all the or- ganizations on campus, having direct links to other students. A self-motivated group, they design projects for students. They have the initiative to get things done on campus and get other groups on campus involved. They work at all home foot- ball games, recruiting stu- dents, work at alumni socials, | and give campus tours. “One way of getting a good response from the community is to get the students involved i ‘ i An Earned Reputation in the alumni activities,”’ says Todd Landrum, Coordinator of Alumni Affairs. Members of NLU 31 worked during alumni socials. They worked at the homecoming so- cials, Parents Day, and helped out at the Alumni Golf Tourna- ment and the 1958 Class Re- union. In conjunction with the Indi- an Scouts, members also worked during the home foot- ball games in the Skybox and the Booster Room. NLU 31 provides the senior information kit for graduating seniors. The kit includes tips for job hunting and what to look for in an apartment. It also includes copies of the school and alumni papers and a letter explaining the alumni associ- ation and its function. Landrum says, ‘This is a good group to sponsor.’ He hopes that the program can expand in the future. He said that NLU 31's busi- ness is to promote a good im- age of Northeast, and that he has only received and heard positive responses. Members of NLU 31 are chosen in the spring. They must have at least 30 semester hours, be full time students, and be in good standing with the university. They also should know a good deal about NLU and be enthusiastic. ‘‘This years’ group has exceeded my ex- pectations. NLU 31 is here to stay.’’ says Todd Landrum. -by Danny R.

These sleepy students stop to pick up a copy of the student newspa- per — the Pow Wow. The weekly tabloid saw some gradual changes in de- sign and content geared to- wards a total facelift of the pa- per. ‘We're trying to present the news in capsule form, and use bolder graphics while still providing good campus cover- age,’ said editor Stephen Caldwell. “The changes we made are minor, but we're working toward designing the paper to keep up with modern trends.” In 1983, the Pow Wow won its 18th all-American honor award from the Associate Col- lege Press and a Five Star All- American award for the 1982 Fall semester. The paper won five Marks of Distinction for coverage and content, writing and editing, opinion content, désign and photography art and grapics.

A new addition has been the purchase of 24 wire display racks for better display of the tabloid. “In the past, the papers were placed in bundles on the floors of the buildings. With the new racks, the students won't have to stoop to pick up a paper or worry about trip- ping over the bundles,”’ Jones said.

It also assists incoming fresh- men and new students with problems that they may have during their adjustment period at NLU. Vallarie Campbell, a sopho- more member of the Black Caucus, said, ‘Black Caucus is a positive approach to Black leadership. “We are the voices behind some of the influential activi- ties and functions held at Northeast.” Karen Coleman, another ac- tive Black Caucus member, expressed her interpretation of the organization.

The main pur- pose of the Black Caucus is to ensure that all black students have an equal voice in the ac- tivities at NLU.” The Black Caucus Associ- ation sponsors an annual talent show, an Evening of Talent, each fall semester, in which trophies are given to the three winners.

The organization encour- ages superior scholastic achievement among students in their first year in institutions of higher education. It also promotes intelligent living and a continued high standard of learning, and as- sists women and men in recog- nizing and developing mean- ingful goals for their roles in society. Dr. Martha Upshaw refers to membership in the society as a demonstration of a student's ability to successfully make the transition from a home envi- ronment to a college environ- ment. Membership in Alpha Lambda Delta is open to all freshmen women who meet the scholastic qualifications. ALPHA LAMBDA DELTA.

Northeast United Campus Ministries was organized in December of 1976 to offer ministry to the Northeast cam- pus in areas not touched by university resources or exist- ing Campus ministries. NEUC� is a self sustaining ministry comprised of several denominational ministries and several church groups not wishing to offer denomination- al ministry. The emphasis is not placed on gathering a community of faith, but rather on meeting human needs. Under the leadership of the Rev. Betty McGehee, the min- istry has established such things as a well received Day Care Center, several annual campus-wide worship ser- vices, a full counseling pro- gram, sponsorship of the Inter- denominational Ensemble, fac- ulty theological discussion, and the position of a Theolo- gian-in-Residence. NEUCM continues to aid all ministries on this campus in various ways. The Co-op Day Rev. McGehee armed with her bi- ble is always ready to assist stu- dents in their spiritual needs. Care Center is one of those ways. The center provides low cost child care by utilizing parents to assist. The center’s goals are to provide economical day care to students with children and to provide a well rounded pro- gram that encourages the de- velopment of the whole child. NEUCM also sponsors the Interdenominational Ensem- ble. The ensemble is under the direction of Louis Nabors, As- sistant Professor of Music at NLU. The ensemble holds each semester concerts for the stu- dents and also performs at var- ious churches and _ activities throughout the community. One of its greatest achieve- ments was to appear before the Annual Convocation of Blacks in Higher Education at Daytona Beach. NEUCM not only works with other religious organizations, but also works with the SGA to bring to campus proment theologians. These theologians meet with the various religious classes and student and faculty groups to give lectures. - Jenny Kovata NEUCM 243 Ministering niversities were devel- U oped by the churches to assist the world in discov- ering truth. About 100 years ago, the state became involved in higher education and, as a result, churches began to con- centrate on adding religious values to the academic cur- ricula. At NLU several churches of- fer full programs to meet reli- gious and other needs of the entire University Community. Baptist Student Union, Catholic Student Center, ‘St. Thomas Church and Canter- bury Club, Wesley Founda- tion, University Church of Christ, Messiah Lutheran Church, and B'nai Israel Tem- ple all serve the NLU campus. Each offers a variety of ac- tivities for the campus commu- nity. These include worship, counseling, fellowship, and service opportunities. Many students sense the im- portance of seeking out others of their own faith for fellowship Spreading the Gospel and worship. Religious organizations at NLU recognize thé importance of spiritual growth’in the de- velopment, of the individual. These’ organizations” give students the opportunity to%a¢- tively participate in the church of religion of their choice: The Wesley Foundation: has as its particular. responsibility to minister to all Methodists; Presbyterians, and Disciples ot Christ. The wide variety of’ pro- grams is open to all-members of the University. The Wesley Foundation reg- ularly offers Sunday morning and evening worship services, an issue-centered luncheon every Wednesday.at noon, and scripture studyand dinner every Thursday. evening at 6:00 p.m. The Baptist StudentsUnion, which was founded in 1987, is one of the oldest and largest religious centers on campus. The BSU holds various ac- tivities throughout the year, in- cluding a regular Wednesday luncheon program, competi- tion in intramural programs, and worship and Bible study. The Church of Christ Stu- dent Center’s main purpose is to provide a facility for stu- dents to come and socialize, and to provide a facility for Bi- ble classes and devotionals. The center annually spon- sors a hayride, Christmas par- ty, and two annual retreats. The Catholic Newman Stu- dent Center recently was ap- pointed a new priest, Father Ted Bolski. The Center sponsors teams in the intramurals program and holds worship services weekly. The center also holds parties for its members all through the semester. Each Christian organization at NLU offers different de- nominations, but they all have one goal in common — to min- ister to students. -Jenny Kovata Mark Holyfield Lowe, Art Anderson, Jim Denton, Jay Wallace, Debora Leek, Julie Dahlquist.

Many international students are represented in the NLU student body. According to the Fall 1983 student enrollment figures, over 51 countries are represented at Northeast. In the Fall of 1980, James Rob- ertson officially became the first full-time adviser to international students at Northeast. Robertson, who earned a graduate degree in Guidance and Counseling from Northeast and an undergraduate degree in Spanish from South- eastern Louisiana University in Hammond, LA, first became in- terested in international students through the Department of For- eign Languages’ language labo- ratory where he worked as the assistant director. He later became a graduate as- sistant in the Registrar's Office at Northeast and worked with inter- national students on a part-time basis. In that job, Robertson met incoming students at the airport, helped them get settled both on and off campus, assisted them in opening bank accounts and with shopping, etc. Since Robertson has become full-time, he has increased the number of international students from approximately 150 in 1980 to approximately 500, with over 50 countries represented on cam- pus. In this position, he assists in the admissions process, maintains re- cords, and handles immigration matters regarding international students and or the university. He counsels those students with personal or school related prob- lems and attempts to break the language barrier which some- | times exists between these stu- dents from the United States. | Robertson states that although ] a number of local churches and } Civic organizations do provide ac- tivities for international students, he feels that “the students are most interested in their education and making American friends (students). Often these students do appear awkward upon their arrival because they are in a new country, experiencing a new cul- ture and a different language. We must remember they are peo- ple with the same feelings and needs as us. They are very anx- ious to break the barrier that often exists between them and Ameri- cans. Having traveled abroad, | know how important it is for peo- ple to be friendly to you in the country you are visiting and to make you feel at home.” -Danny Hardman 1 |) Sane ioe | THAI STUDENT ASSOCIATION: 7 First Row: Paithip Luangruangrong, i Orathai Leewiraphan, Suwanna Leewiraphan, Yupa Luechaisit, Charoongjai Dechapatananond, Chompoonuth Pholintara.

The excite- ment is just indescribable,” says Norman. Norman says that the most important aspect of being a drum major is having the re- spect of the band members and directors. Last summer, Norman served as drum major of the Memphis Blues Drum Corps of Memphis, Tenn. The Memphis Blues is a member of the Drum Corps International (DCI) or- ganization. Auditions for drum corps are held in October and con- sist of musical and learning and demonstrating marching drills. Each corps chooses 128 members. A Drum corps consists of a brass bugle line, a percussion line, and a color guard. The bugle line is made up of sopra- no bugles and flugelhorns pro- viding the high range and mellophones and _ baritones bugles providing the middle range in sound. The bass sound of the line is from eu- phoniums and contras. All of the bugles are tuned in the key of G, giving the drum corps a unique sound. The color guard consists of flag twirlers and rifle bearers. Drum corps members attend weekend practices twice a month throughout the winter and spring months to work on marching and playing funda- mentals. Norman was responsible for warming up the corps, making sure everyone found his place, and directing the corps as the drum major of Memphis Blues. Norman was chosen the out- standing drum major in a DCI competition in Claiborne, Tex- as.

The 1983-84 NLU Cheer- leaders proved to be the most enthusiastic squad in years. With nine new members, the cheerleaders did an excep- tional job this year. Last summer the squad spent many hours striving to perfect motions, jumps, and gymnastic abilities, preparing themselves for the 1983-84 school year. All the hours of practice put in last summer and thi s school year really paid off. Much praise was given to the cheerleaders by the stu- dents, spectators, and adminis- trators, due to their show of spirit at the Pep-Rallies and games. -Danny Hardman Top: Leanne Miller and Greg Burke are in a shoulder-stance at the first home game Pep-Rally.

At camp, the Indian Cheerleaders received a third place trophy for cheers, three su- perior ribbons, a spirit stick for squad unity, and three champion- ship ribbons. The cheerleaders also ranked in the top 10 at camp. Judy Brightwell, their adviser : said, ‘The Cheerleaders have done an exceptional job this year with nine new members. They are very dedicated and hard work- ing. This year’s squad is con- cerned with the spirit of the stu- dent body and promoting NLU. I am proud of this year’s squad and the hard work they have done.” Tracie Hicklin, their coach, said, “This year's squad really loves to cheer and are working harder this year for more student involvement, and are carrying out the role of a cheerleader this year quite well.” The NLU Cheerleader’s role is not that easy. After nine hours or more of practice a week in Brown Gymnasium, they lead cheers at Pep-Rallies, at all football games in the fall and basketball games in the spring, demonstrating at dif- ferent high schools, and they have academic responsibilities. - Danny Hardman Cheerleaders are: Bottom from left: Mindy Roan; Crosset, AR, Patty Le- Brun; West Monroe, LA, Karen Gray; Bastrop, LA, Karen Karris; Ferriday, LA, Leanne Miller; Haughton, LA, and Merion Spence; Monroe, LA; standing from left: David McHalf- fey; Bossier City, LA, Jeff Trow- bridge; Bossier City, LA, Shawn Mc- Coy; Minden, LA, Greg Burke; Shreveport, LA, Keith Beard; Homer, LA, and Gary Washington; Shreve- port, LA. | Leanne Miller and Greg Burke perform an exten- Mindy Roan and Shawn McCoy are in a shoulder stance.

Kim Whitten said, “Greeks promote involvement in school functions. “Greeks provide a family atmo- sphere and involve you in other campus activities, ” co Jessica _ Towle. _ Some students had a negative Lori Maddox ca think ol Greeks help you to make many new friends.’ Michele Whitley stated, “Greeks help those girls who are from out of town and have no chance to see family or friends till the holidays. You can avoid lone- liness if you're a Greek.” Greeks provide a sense of be- longing and confidence that gives a person a sound founda- tion to live by,” said Teri Turner. Other students stress the im- portance of giving to philanthro- pies and getting more involved in college. “Greeks contribute to many things, including philanthropies, activities in and out of school and members’ well being,’ said Mimi Mitchell. Carole Smith stated, ‘Greeks are groups that give to their phil- anthropies and | think they are a needy cause. They are part of more school activities and have more fun in college.” Besides having fun in college, Greeks also got involved and promoted school functions. Throughout the year, Greeks promoted campus and communi- ty activities. Fund raisers such as book drives and candy, maqga- zine, and bake sales were held to support the organizations. Many sororities and fraternities had fun raising activities for par- ticular philanthropies. Fund rais- ers tor the Arthritis Foundation, project HOPE, muscular dis- trophy, sickle cell anemia, the Heart Fund, March of Dimes, and St. Jude's Children’s Hospital were some projects On Campus. - Patricia Stevens 266 Councils The Greek way Councils fir needs of University hroughout the year, three systems have governed and guided the social fra- ternities and sororities on cam- pus. These three systems have or- ganized themselves to fit the needs of this university. The Interfraternity Council consisted of representatives from each of the white traterni- ties on campus who met to dis- | cuss their mutual concerns. Although the primary duty of the IFC was to serve as an administrative and regulatory agency during Rush, they were also responsible for the Greek week activities and Greek involvement in commu- nity service. This fall with the addition of two new fraternities into North- east’s Greek system, the in- creased number of fraternities prompted a highly competitive and successful fall Rush. The Greek week consisted of the track and field competi- tion, a dance, swimming events, and the Greek games. “Tt was one of the most com- petitive and exciing events of the school year,’’ said Tom Ba- con. The governing body of all black social organizations was the Pan-Hellenic Council. It set the guidelines for pledg- and and other activities. The major fund raising events sponsored by the Pan- Hellenic Council were the spring and fall Greek Show. In the spring, the Greek Show consisted of skits and in the fall, a step show was per- formed. The Pan-Hellenic Council sponsored a Greek ball and also went to the Mary Gross Nursing Home and sang carols at Christmas. Craig Davis, president of the Pan-Hellenic Council, said, “The year working on the council was a good one. We spent a lot of time organizing it and it is getting better.” The Panhellenic council was composed of the four presi- dents of the sororities and two delegates from each sorority. Throughout the spring and summer, the Panhellen council worked in preparation — for Rush. Rush booklets, pam- — phlets, and rules were de- signed to help the week | smoother for the Rushees. Rush began wih a convoca- tion on Monday, August — and ended with a candlelig ceremony Friday, August 20 ribbon to help her join into the Panhellenic spirit. During the year, the Panh lenic Council sold M M's for its philanthropy, the Kidney Foundation. “The best part about being | on council is getting to kno the girls in each sorority. Ev- eryone always seems to think were all in competition with each other but were not. We're all working together to promote the things we b lieve in ... friendship, loyal and scholarship,” said Aliso: Garrett, Panhellenic pre deni —.

Going from contenders to ‘champions has been a goal Pi Kappa Alpha set and achieved. Pike was the first NLU fraternity to cross the 100% mark in quality mem- bership. Community services as well as campus involvement and athletics are three areas that each Pike strives for achieve- ment in. , The flag football team has been the undefeated all cam- pus champions for the past two Pi Kappa Alpha years and has represented this university in the state playofis. In the spring, Pike defended it's Greek Week Champion- ship, which it has won for the past two years, against all other competitors. Boasting mem- bership and leadership in campus organizations from Prep Staff leader, AGC presi- dent, IFC president, secretary, and treasurer, to Circle K, Union Board, and SGA, Pike's imput can be seen throughout the campus. Pi Kappa Alpha is also proud of its involvement with local charities and civic orga- nizations. This year, Pike worked with Cerebral Palsy, the Hearn Fund, Crippled Children’s — Fund, and through the Pace- maker's Kiwanis Club, spon- sored 25 children’s way to the Shriner's Club Circus. If anyone is to remember anything about Pike, he should remember that it is one big family — not just an orga- nization composed of people from all walks of life — sup- porting this community and university and above all, being itself and having a good time. @ Rush is an integral part of a fra-_ ternity’s life.

Carefully placed blue and gold streamers transformed the Town and Couniry club- house into a ballroom, com- plete with strobe lights. For the 60 who attended, it was an experience long to be remembered. There was good fun, good music, and of course, plenty of spirit. The evening was such a suc- cess that the Sigs will make this an annual event in the tall. The music for the evening was provided through D]’s Ke- vin Kidd, Mike Downhour, and 296 Greeks Jay Siefert.

Vines of his position. He said he believes that Northeast has a large number of outstanding students. Dr. Vines stated that at North- east, there are “great athletes, many of whom are nationally rec- ognized ... fantastic Warbonnets one of the best marching bands in the country ... excel- lent student publications.’ He also commented that students usually express discontent in a polite way. Maybe one of the reasons that President Vines enjoys meeting and getting to know the students so much is that he grew up in a friendly, comfortable atmo- sphere. He is from a small town in Jackson Parish, Louisiana. His fa- vorite foods are fried chicken, mashed potatoes, fruit, and turnip greens with hot peppers. And as many know, Dr. Vines enjoys playing the steel guitar and is an avid tennis player. President Vines and his wife, Jean Varnado Vines, have three sons. Mrs. Vines is a French teacher at Jack Hayes school, and in her spare time she enjoys read- ing, sewing, and taking classes at NLU. Among the colleges that Dr. Vines has attended are the Uni- versity of Colorado, Louisiana State University, State University, and Florida State University. At these schools, he received several degrees in Business Administration and maintained a 3.8 average or bet- ter. He began working at North- east in 1958, as an instructor, and gradually advanced to the office of President in 1975. Dr. Vines stays busy, not only by working, but also by being in- +i John Jones Northwestern - volved in numerous professional and community activities. It might be added that he either holds of- fice in or serves on the Boards of Directors of well over half of these organizations. As Dr. Vines began discussing the 1983-84 school year, he stated of it, “It's not going to be the best, but surely not the worst. On the positive side, we have the largest enrollment that we've ever had.” He said he believes that NLU has the best qualified faculty ever. He stated, “We have many really outstanding professors who do such a great job.’’ Dr. Vines said he also believes that one of North- east’s greatest assets is the Mon- roe community, and that much of Northeast's success can be attrib- uted to a supportive community. According to President Vines, the major prob lem, from which others stemmed this year, is an inadequate budget. We do not have enough money for new buildings, therefore, we are over- crowded. There has been no in- crease in faculty or staff salaries. Also, there is the continuing problem of trattic and inadequate parking. In order to solve these problems, we must have money.” This year, one of Dr. Vine'’s ma- jor goals was to get all profession- al programs nationally accredit- ed. Dr. Vines commented, ‘‘We have made progress in this area. We now have seventy-six nation- ally accredited programs. This in- dicates the academic strength of the university.”’ In summary, President Vines stated, ‘We are growing and the good points outweigh the bad points by a large margin. The fu- ture looks bright for NLU.” - Amber Baldwin President Vines’ friendly manner quickly puts students at ease. Pride is evident in Vines’ constant efforts to better NLU. a A a ee a a John Jones President Vines Instructor returns to A new position n September, 1983, James M. Nicholson retired from his position as executive vice-president of NLU, after 25 years of service to the universi- ty. Nicholson had numerous re- sponsibilities as executive vice-president. He coordinat- ed administrative functions, di- rected and supervised busi- ness affairs, and served as the Civil Service appointing au- thority for NLU. He also co- ordinated the offices of pur- chasing, controller, auxiliary enterprises, printing services, and physical plant and grounds. “It has been a delightful ex- perience to be associated with a great institution like NLU 302 Vice-President these past 25 years,”’ Nichol- son said, “It has been a plea- sure to participate in and con- tribute to such a significant en- deavor as building a great uni- versity.”’ On October 1, 1983, Dr. Robert. Lewis Robinson as- sumed the duties of executive vice-president. Although his job was new to him, NLU was not. Robinson taught account- ing here from 1967 until 19772. He also served as an associate professor of accounting and director of the College of Busi- ness Administration's graduate students during that time. When asked if NLU has changed since 1972, Robinson replied, ‘NLU has changed in that the university has grown. Dr. Robinson returns to NLU and accepts his position as Vice- President of Business Affairs. Nicholson proudly displays one of the many gifts he received at his retirement party. However, one thing that has not changed is the commit- ment to educate people.” He also stated that one of the rea- sons he returned to NLU was, “In my opinion, NLU has its priorities in correct order.” Robinson came from Missis- sippi, where he served as asso- ciate director for governmen- tal affairs with the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Insti- tutions of Higher Learning. Dr. Robinson graduated from Mis- sissippi State University with a D.B.A., and received his mas- ter’s and bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration from the University of Southern Mis- sissippi. He obtained further education at the Harvard Man- agement Institute during the summer of 1981. “We are extremely pleased to have Dr. Robinson join the administrative staff,’ said President Vines. “He brings with him a wealth of talent and experience into this extremely important post.” During his leisure time, Rob- inson enjoys hunting, fishing, jogging, and writing. He is married and is the father of two children. Dr. Robinson is assuming his responsibilities with a positive attitude. ‘I would like to run as efficient an operation as we possibly can,” he said, ‘‘and to see that we educate as many students and take them as far as we can with the dollars allo- cated to Northeast.” Billy Heckford —————E Bob Carroll Director of Information Services Dr. Daniel DuPree Dean of Pure and Applied Sciences Dr. Henry Garner Acting Dean of Graduate School Benny Hollis Director of Athletics William Laird Director of Development and Community Affairs Dr. Van McGraw Dean of Business Administration Dr. Frank Morgan Dean of Liberal Arts Thomas Murphy Dean of Student Affairs Glenn Powers Vice-President of Academic Affairs Dr. Bernard Shadoin Dean of Education Dr. Kenneth Shrader Dean of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Henry Strumpell Director of Computing Center Academic Deans And Administrators 303 ne a Dr. Ace Louis Pharmacy Ronald Alexander Art Beth Anderson Registrar Robert Anderson Sports Information Director Thomas Avera Teacher Education Connie Barnes School Services Janet Breard English Dottie Brooks Financial Aid Ernest Bruce Aviation Dr. John Burgin Music Le ster Butler Controller Barbara Byrd School Services Dr. David Byrd Chemistry Linda Castle Teacher Education ; Dr. Carol Christopher Music Dr. Jack Collins Education June Conway Home Economics Jeannie Cowan Publications Dr. Walter N.

Walter ‘“Skeet'’ Creek- more may be considered a dedicated educator at Northeast, but in the mountains of North Carolina, he is recognized as one of the best banjo players in the world. An associate professor of spe- cial education, Creekmore has established himself in the music world as well as in the teaching profession. A native of Apalachicola, Flor- ida, Creekmore began playing the banjo at the age of 26 while attending East Carolina Universi- ty. ‘T started playing the banjo be- cause there’s a lot of bluegrass music in North Carolina, and one thing they do for recreation is go to fiddler’s conventions,”’ he said. It was at a 1974 fiddler’s con- vention in Union Grove, NC, that Creekmore won the World's Championship Old-Timer’s Banjo Picking Contest. Three consecu- tive years before, he had been first runner-up in the contest. Competing with 150 other ban- jo pickers, Creekmore captured the title without ever having a les- son. ‘Banjo players don't take les- sons or read music,” he sai d. ‘Not true bluegrass players.” But Creekmore’s old-time style of playing differs from bluegrass. “Bluegrass is a quicker tem- Richard Lupo po,” he said. ‘‘Old-time is good, old-fashioned mountain music.” The style of music I play is the stuff that developed in the moun- tains of North Carolina before bluegrass was developed.” After Creekmore won the 1974 competition, he made his televi- sion debut on ‘Hee Haw” and performed with a band for a while. But Creekmore said what start- ed out as an enjoyable pastime began to sidetrack him and take him away from his main interest- teaching. ‘| made a mistake when | was playing with the band,” he said. ‘We got too popular and started taking money to play. When you do that, it becomes a job instead of a hobby.” Creekmore did not compete after 1974 because he began working on his Ph.D in special education and later moved to In- diana to teach at Purdue Univer- sity. These days he is a full-time teacher with a wife and a nine month old daughter. He also has received two new _ research grants. These responsibilities leave him little time to sit around and pick the banjo. “T rarely play anymore. You can't really play a banjo by your- self. You need a band,” he said. Still, Creekmore would like to keep most of his banjo playing in the past, using his talent now only as a means of relaxation. 'T feel it's important for profes- sionals to have a hobby like this,” he said. ‘Especially educators. It keeps us from burning out.” Just as he did not take lessons, Creekmore does not give lessons. T don't give lessons because | don't have the time. But even if I did have time, I wouldn't want to because it's my way of relaxing. When you take money, it turns into work. If I gave lessons, I'd be working.” Creekmore is not the only teacher and musician in his fam- ily. His wife also has a Ph.D in education and is a concert pia- nist. ‘My wife says our daughter is going to learn to play the violin,’ he said. “I say she’s going to play the fiddle.” As much as he loves the coun- try ‘twang’ of a banjo or fiddle, Creekmore says he is happy where he is today. ‘Thad a chance to be a profes- sional, but I don't want it. I love what I’m doing now. This is where I want to be.” — Molly May “T feel it’s important for profession- als to have a hobby.” Paul Speed Ssg Sandra Hester Military Science Julie Hill Registrar Cpt James Hudson Military Science Rene Jackson Home Economics Keith Joiner Financial Aid Dr. Perry H.

Wrong. Mark Cogburn, a graduate student working toward a master’s de- gree in marriage and family counseling, is one person who has found this out. Mark earned his bachelor’s de- gree in psychology at NLU. He was going to continue for a mas- ter’s degree in psychology or counselor education, but with a background in psychology was advised to try the marriage and family counseling program. The requirements to enter the program, now in its first year at NLU, are a GPA of 2.8 and a GRE score of 900. Only about 15 students are accepted each year. According to Mark, the first re- quired class is the decisive one. “Counseling procedures teach how to talk to people without hurting them, which is the most important thing a counselor must be able to do. If you have the potential to do this sort of work, it shows up during this class,’ he said. From that point on the classes deal with subject matter related to marriage and family logic and systems, how to identify the root of people’s problems, and the procedures relevant to the appli- cation of the ideas and theories that are studied. Application is experienced through the required practicums and internship. Every student does 150-200 hours of counseling under the supervision of qualified professionals. Mark works at the develop- mental center six hours a week counseling people for his practi- cum. Statistics show that married people with problems prefer to see a counselor who is also mar- ried. Mark, who has no immedi- ate plans of marriage, is undaunt- ed by this fact. “If you're a com- petent and good counselor it won't matter,” he said. “It takes sort of a sixth sense to pick. up on people's problems, and if you have it and are able to help a person solve a problem, he will tell others about you. Word of mouth from satistied customers will be what makes you success- Tala Objectivity is probably the big- gest problem a counselor will face. ‘‘You have to stay objective enough to help a client, because that’s what you're there for,” said Mark. ‘You must learn to be empathetic, but not sympathet- ile “It's easy to say it, but not easy to do. That's why we have to do 200 hours of counseling before receiving a degree and going out into the career field.” After obtaining a master’s de- gree in marriage and family counseling, Mark plans to get a PhD in counseling psychology. With such a varied background he will then be qualified to teach psychology, counseling, or mar- riage and family classes. When not involved in his gra- duate studies, Mark teaches de- velopmental education classes. “It's one of my favorite things to do,” he said. “It makes me feel like | have something to offer those students. I really enjoy it.” Mark is also a drummer for the Electones. Playing the drums has been a personal hobby of his for almost nine years. He has played in several bands, including a con- temporary gospel band called Exodus from his hometown of El Dorado, Arkansas. Basketball is another of Mark's hobbies. He coaches a junior high team, plays on a team for North Monroe Baptist Church, and also participates in intramur- als. Mark's ultimate goal is ‘to be a university professor with a private practice on the side.’’ His enthusi- asm and dedication toward his work, combined with his enjoy- ment of life, certainly point the way to success. — by Teri Goul Playing drums for the Electones gives Mark time to enjoy his hobby. Mark will do 200 hours of counsel- ing to get his master’s degree.

Social workers over the years have become known as ‘welfare workers’’ to our soci- ety, which is hardly the case. Social workers are involved in many types of work environ- ments, such as the United Way of Ouachita, Monroe Mental Health and Substance Abuse Center, G. B. Cooley Hospital for Mentally Retarded Citi- zens, Georgia Street Nursing Home, Evangeline Oaks, and Glenwood Regional Medical Center.

She said | would be working mostly with cancer patients and I felt that I could do a good job.” Attaway was placed at Glen- wood Regional Medical Cen- ter in West Monroe. Her su- pervisers were Brenda Rhodes and Alisa Swaggart. “They are great. They are very professional and really good role models for me. They put a lot of time and effort into training me and I'll benefit in the long run,” Attaway said. Welfare and food stamps were a far cry from what Attaway had to deal with. She was involved in discharge planning where she referred patients to nursing homes. “You are affecting their life so you have to present it in a delicate way,” stated Attaway. She also did counselling with cancer patients and their families. ‘We have two sup- port groups for our clients at Glenwood. Keep In Touch is an on-going group for our can- cer patients. They give each other the support they need.” “| was involved with the oth- er group, I Can Cope. It was like a big pow wow where ev- eryone discussed how they were feeling about what was happening to them.” “It was more educational than Keep In Touch because we had speakers come in and discuss all phases of cancer with the patients and their fam- ilies. ’ Social Services at Glen- wo od also handles adoptions. “Mostly what we did was get everybody together, especially the lawyer and the mother. This is where confidentiality was very important to protect both the mother and the child,” said Attaway. “We also have social work- ers on call for the emergency room for rape cases. Besides giving support to the patient, we let them know what is hap- pening in the examination and what legal rights they have.” She said, ‘‘We also deal with child abuse, wife abuse, and suicide attempts. Field educa- tion is excellent. It gives a so- cial work student a wide vari- ety of challenges and plenty of experience in counselling.” As you can see, there is a lot more to social work than hand- ing out checks. Said Attaway, “Caring is what it's all about. If you have that deep compassion for peo- ple and honestly want to help them, then you would make a great social workers.” -by Annita Ketcher Mel Riser }| 1] ! | | | One 0 } bi | dal Mel Riser One of Becky Attaway’s responsi- services to provide the best care bilities was taking a patient’s so- possible for each patient. cial history.

For the past seven years Ted Van Landingham, a wine dis- tributer for Blue Grass Liquer and Wine Company of Mon- roe, has been lecturing on the aspects of wine tasting. Two classes a semester are held, both in the spring and fall. Both students and non-stu- dents participated. Even a cou- ple of local wine sellers were involved. The goals of the class were to get everyone familiar with different wines and then do a taste test. Connie White, a Slidell ju- nior, said, ‘I love wine and | wanted to come and find out more about it.” Each participant was given six wines to taste and judge on David Clancy qualities such as aroma, bou- quet, color, and body. A vari- ety of cheeses and crackers was also served to enhance the taste of the wines. The judging concluded and Van _ Lan- dingham offered several sug- gestions for buying and serv- ing red wine. Lee Ann DeCharles, a Shreveport senior, said, ‘l never really knew what to serve with what. Now | have a pretty good idea and next time I'll serve my steaks with Ruf- fino Chianti Classico Riserva Ducale White.” A drawing was held atter- ward and six lucky people walked away with the bottles of their choice. So the next time wine is be- ing served, remember the three S's of wine tasting: swirl, smell, and sip.

Mike is a part-time student and a part-time university policeman. This may not seem too difficult in itself, but at times his schedule gets hectic. He works an 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift from Friday night until Tuesday morning and has an 8 o'clock class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! For Mike, hard work and dedi- cation have paid off because in May of 1983 he won ‘Policeman of the Year’’. The competition, which was held in Natchitoches, was sponsored by the Louisiana University Police Association. In April, participating University Po- lice agencies selected one officer to represent them. In May, all yr we contestants reported to Natchi- toches and were interviewed by a Review Board. Mike Ginn, the 1983 winner, was awarded the ti- tle, a trophy, and a plaque. When asked why he enjoyed working in Monroe and on the Northeast campus so much, Ginn replied, “I’ve lived in Monroe my whole life and my father has been a teacher here. So because of these two things, I feel comfort- able at Northeast.”’ Ginn said he has always want- ed to be a police officer and has high hopes for his career. He also said that he would like to get a master’s degree in law enforce- ment and eventually get into ad- ministrative work. When asked what it is like to work for Universi- ty Police, Mike grinned and re- plied, “I really like it. I guess that the thing I enjoy most is the satis- faction that I get from helping other people.” -Amber Baldwin Billy Heckford Ginn takes his job on cam- pus very seriously.

A senior voice major from Los Angeles, Cheryl's music career started as a pianist and organist in the 7th grade. “I've always enjoyed music,” she said. When she started playing, she found that practicing at night fit- ted her schedule better than practicing during the day. “I can remember it took getting used to hearing someone playing on a piano at night, especially when you were trying to sleep,” Cheryl] said. Cheryl feels that ‘mammah,’ her grandmother, was a great as- set to her music career. ‘'] wasn't rich in money but I was well loved ... family support is impor- tant.” Cheryl decided she wanted to try the other side of music, using her voice to move up and down the scale instead of her fingers. ‘T wasn't tired of playing the piano or organ; | simply wanted to try singing,” she says. “My first competition was in high school, where I sang Gia- como Puccini's ‘Mi Chiamino Mimi.’ I won first place. It was actually a shock to my family that I could sing.” Cheryl traveled to West Ger- many with her family and attend- ed school at the Mannheim American School, where she graduated in 1979. In 1980 she came to Northeast. Under the direction of Dr. Ed- ward Deckard, she was placed in the Choral and later into the Con- cert Choir and Chamber Singers. She has won numerous awards, including first place in the 1982 and 1983 National Association of Teachers singing competition. But all has not been a “bed of roses.’ It takes hard work and you must be willing to sacrifice part of your time to studying. ‘Music is not as easy as some people think, but it can be easy if you know it,’’ said Cheryl. Professionally, Chery] has per- formed with the Inglewood Phil- harmonic Orchestra of Los An- geles and she has also been guest artist with the Monroe Symphony Orchestra. Cheryl said she is always ner- vous when she is performing but she must have faith in her abilities as a performer. iii. Mary Lee Cantrell era. a” eae Cheryl and Jamie Mott rehearse for the op- She does feel that if she puts in the proper amount of time it takes to prepare for a performance, she will be successful. Cheryl has performed with the NLU Opera Production in Mo- zart’s “‘Cosi fan Tutti,’ and also portrayed Angelica in Puccini's ‘Suor Angelica.” Cheryl recommends to anyone entering into music or any other field to strive to get an education. ‘Music is not an easy field to break into ... there are still starv- ing musicians in the world today and you need an education to fall back on. There is only a small percentage of those who make it and an even smaller who actually live off the fat of the land.” Cheryl's ambitions are to gra- duate in August, to continue on to graduate school to receive her D.M.A. (Doctorate of Musical Arts) and teach voice at a univer- sity. “If blessed with a music ca- reer, I will pursue it, but I do want my D.M.A. in music.” Cheryl] feels she has the dedi- cation and determination it takes to become a successful musician as well as a succesful person in life. - by Willie Clark Eric Hanson mu =a -.

Would you believe Father Ted, the new priest at the New- man Center? In June, 1983, Father Ted Bolski assumed his position as priest of the Newman Center at NLU, and brought with him vitality and enthusiasm. Father Ted came from Cleveland, Ohio, and he at- tended colleges there and in Illinois. He obtained a B.A. in philosophy and a M. Div. in theology. After being ordained in 1975, and working in Cleve- land and in Minnesota, Father Ted was assigned to work here Father Ted takes advantage of free time to pursue his favorite pastime, roller skating. 336 Father Ted as priest at the Newman Cen- ter. Father Ted’s job encom- passes a variety of things. In an attempt to improve the pro- gram, he is establishing many goals. One of his chief objec- tives is to contact students, non-Catholic as well as Catho- lic. One of the ways that he hopes to accomplish this is by sending out a monthly news- letter. Father Ted would also like to organize a student life committee, a choir, and a board of directors. Of these activities, he said, “This first semester, I feel like I’m just in first gear. But next semester, I'll get into second David Clancy and third.” Not only does Father Ted stay busy with his job, but he also enjoys many hobbies and extra activities. He enjoys climbing trees, practicing yoga, and especially likes roll- er skating. Father Ted began roller skating in the summer of 1980, and it quickly became his fa- vorite hobby. He said of him- self, ‘I’m an avid roller skater and skating has almost be- come an obsession.” One of Father Ted’s most re- warding activities is taking a three hour class here at NLU. He believes that by doing this, he will ‘plug in more to every- day university life’’ as well as further his education. He plans to take at least one class each semester. For upcoming semesters, Father Ted said, ‘] would like to be on campus, in the SUB and in the dorms. | want to be more visible to the entire stu- dent body.” In the time that he has been here, he has implement- ed many of his plans for im- provement of the Newman Center.

Commenting further, Bostick said that while it initially appears cheaper to commute, the cost of gas tends to balance out with on- campus cosis. He also saw few good points unless the. commuter was from the Monroe area. The most common disadvan- tages associated with commuting were having to wake up much earlier, purchasing gas, getting stuck in traffic in early morning rush hour, and having nothing to do during the break between classes, outside of going to Har- dee’s, the SUB, and the Elbow Room. Also mentioned as a disadvan- tage was locating a parking space within a reasonable walking dis- tance. Steve Hudnall, a freshman Real Estate and Insurance major from West Monroe, said that he re- ceived a good workout from car- rying his books around for the en- tire day and from walking from his car to classes. He also felt that by commuting he was missing out on campus activities. Don Magee, a freshman Avi- ation major from Monroe, cited advantages of commuting. Among these were having the comforts of home, not being sub- jected to campus housing regula- tions (alcohol, noise levels, etc.), and not having to worry about where the money was coming from to pay room and board. He also mentioned that a disad- vantage was that he found it diffi- cult to study at home. When asked why he commut- ed, Magee responded, ‘I'm from here, it’s cheaper, and I live only a couple of miles from the cam- pus.” Tim Breaux, a junior Pharmacy major from Swartz, said that com- muting trom his home costs ap- proximately $300 a semester. He also cited increased expenses due to replacement costs of cal- culators, which have gone miss- ing from his car, and of note- books, whose covers have been torn off, due to their falling while on the way to classes. Breaux esti- mates that he puts a minimum of 50 miles on his car every day by commuting, Many will dread waking up early and getting stuck in traffic, but always ready to greet them (with a smile?) will be Northeast Louisiana University. - Keith Sharp i Playing cards while waiting “between classes is one way to pass the time when one has no dorm to go to.

What was once the only “link” is now a rapidly growing multimillion dol- lar business with locations in sev- eral states. Changes have indeed oc- curred since Johnny's No. 1 opened in September, 1966, in a small building on DeSiard, across from NLU. A return to the past brings smiles, laughter, and fond memories from Johnny Hunts- man, founder and president of Johnny's Pizza Inc. Huntsman converted a former hotdog restaurant into the origi- nal Johnny's by purchasing his first pizza oven. Modern decor, hanging plants, and professional- ly made booths, trademarks of contemporary Johnny's were not part of the original Johnny's de- cor. “In the early days I had mis- matched handmade booths with legs that fell off and were propped up with tomato cans and bricks,’’ he said. ‘Counters were built by friends who were paid very well in pizzas.” Today he can view his store with pride as he notes the attrac- tive paneling, sturdy booths, and the ‘matching chairs.” Huntsman was able to literally get his hands into the business by manually mixing his own dough. Lack of funds prevented him Hun getting while pré} the Kitchen from purchasing a dough mixer for many years. The idea to open a pizza restau- rant was shaped from Huntsman working in a pizza shop in lowa while attending college. Encour- agement was obtained from friends who were treated to Huntsman party pizzas. From time-to-time someone would tell me I should open up a pizza place and sell pizzas,” he said. “People would plant that seed, and | thought maybe | could: do a. At the time the store was opened, pizza was almost a for- eign object in this area, said Huntsman. One of the first prob- lems faced was to create a market without an advertising budget. Huntsman instigated his own marketing strategy by enrolling in NLU, at that time Northeast State College. “T went back to school to just take come classes, meet people, and to stimulate traffic for my business by word-of-mouth, with me being the mouth,” said Hunts- man. While introducing his class- mates to pizza, Huntsman found time to receive a masters in edu- cation from Northeast in 1969. Although Huntsman does not believe he has changed much through the years, he believes his customers have. ‘Ten years ago the range that was dominant for pizza eaters was from 15 to 25, and now there is not a dominat- ing group,’ he said. The Johnny's Pizza of yester- year has also undergone palat- able changes. The recipe, al- though never written down, has evolved from the first pizza Hunts- man ate while a student in lowa. ‘The first pizza I ever ate was love at first bite,” he said. Huntsman believes he has benefitted from the college world in more ways than one. He be- lieves the total experience of col- lege life prepared him for his pre- sent position and continues to be an element in his success. “T feel like what success I've had would not have been possi- | ble without the experiences I've had,’ he said. “I know I would not have had as much success if not for the proximity to and the acceptance of NLU students, fac- ulty, and administration.” Huntsman enjoys what has happened in his lite and his grow- ing involvement with NLU. “I have a special feeling about NLU since it was so vital to Johnny's Pizza House and me,” he said. “NLU has become a real first class operation, academically and athletically. | enjoy the activity at the university and being in- volved.” Huntsman served as president of the NLU athletic booster club from 1980 until 1983. He has also donated nearly $20,000 in the past four years through the John- ny’s NLU vs. tech mug contest. -by Liz Vercher Loyalty j Employees are vital part of success I n addition to providing deli- cious pizza to the students of NLU and the community, Johnny's Pizza house employes several college students. Teresa Sanson and Skip Little are two of the students who work at the Johnny's across from NLU. Teresa Sanson, a junior from Buckeye, has worked at Johnny's since February, 1983. “I love it; it keeps me out of trouble!’’ she laughed. Teresa met Johnny Huntsman at the store’s Christmas party. I got a hug from him,” she said. “He is a very sweet man. We de- liver pizzas to his family often, and once in a while he comes into the store.” Teresa’s various duties include running the cash register, attend- ing the salad bar, and making piz- zas. Making pizzas brings her into contact with the only thing she dislikes at Johnny's — anchovies. “| hate putting anchovies on a pizza,’ she said. ‘They're smelly and slimy and just horrible.” On campus, Teresa is involved with the band as a flute player, a rifle squad member, and member of Tau Beta Sigma, the band so- rority. A major in preschool nur- sery school management, she also works at the NLU nursery school. Holding a job in addition to be- ing so busy at school can be diffi- cult, but Teresa enjoys working at Johnny’s. “It's fun talking to customers, especially those who come in from all over the place just be- cause they've heard about John- ny’s good reputation,’’ she said. “It's quite an experience.” Skip Little, a senior chemistry major, has worked at Johnny's since April, 1982. He is now a senior crew member. “Once you start in a place like Johnny's, you don't want to do anything else,’’ Skip said. ‘You just can't find anything that inter- esting. ‘Also, the crew becomes real tight and that’s one of the things | like best. I love how the people get along together.” Skip does a little bit of everyth- ing at Johnny's; he makes pizzas, runs ovens, does food prepping, and makes deliveries. One of the biggest problems about delivering is, ‘the girls in inside dorms who order a pizza and then get on the phone. Once I arrive in the lobby I have to stand and let the pizza get cold because | can't get through to tell the gir l it’s ready.” Skip, too, has met Johnny Huntsman. “'l take a lot of pizzas to his house,’ Skip said. ‘He's a nice man. He’s not around very much, but if something goes wrong, he'll show up and take care of it.” Not long ago, Skip exper- ienced a problem that many stu- dents have, job conflicting with school work. “I quit school for one semester,” he said. “I got so involved with work that all I thought about was Johnny's pizza. I had no time for anything else.” “T love working at Johnny's, but I realized I didn't want to do that the rest of my life. So I went back to school, and I'm glad I Giclag Skip now attends school full- time and also works full-time.

One who enjoys teaching, knows | the subject well, and at least tries ‘to make it interesting for the class Lis a teacher much appreciated by a Dave Norris is such a | teacher. Dave Norris; mayor of West ‘Monroe, has been teaching at NLU since 1966. He graduated ‘from NLU in 1963 with a BA., then from Louisiana Tech Univer- ‘sity in 1965 with his M.B.A. He also obtained a D.B.A. from Mis- -sissippi State University. Norris taught several econom- ics courses as a full-time teacher until 1978, when he took office as mayor of West Monroe. He also staught Finance 315 and small business classes, and served as ‘Director of the Small Business In- ‘stitute. Since 1978, he has been ‘teaching part-time, instructing ‘the night sections of Economics 1201 and 202. Although economics is not an easy, and therefore not a popular isubject, students enjoy having Norris as a teacher. He relates dif- ‘ficult concepts to situations stu- |dents can easily idéntify with. His )good-naturedness and sense of humor also help the long hours of night class pass by more quickly. “It's obvious Mayor Norris en- sgsiguntrmveronete ayors enthusiasm promotes interest joys teaching economics, and it carries over in his attitude and teaching,” says Glynda Crooks, a pre-pharmacy sophomore from Winnfield. “He realizes econom- ics isn't the most interesting sub- ject in the world, and he tries to make it as interesting as possi- ble.” Many students wonder why someone with other important re- sponsibilities like Mayor Norris also teaches college. ‘'! still enjoy teaching because | like the con- tact with students and hope some- day to return to full-time teach- ing,” he states. ‘‘Part-time teach- ing also helps me to stay current with developments in econom- ics. In addition to his involvement with NLU, Norris is very active in public service and community or- ganizations. He serves on the Boards of Directors for the Salva- tion Army of Ouachita Parish and the West Monroe Boys’ Club, and was named Campaign Chairman for the 1983 United Way drive. Norris is choir director at McGuire Methodist Church and sings with a gospel quartet. Other hobbies he enjoys are tennis, rac- quetball, bicycle riding, and jog- ging. -Teri Goul Teri Goul “T still enjoy teaching be- cause I like the contact with students.

(‘‘Small and sim- ple” refers to the backpacks, not the personalities.) Others carry books in sports bags or small pieces of luggage. Some profes- sionally-minded people carry books in briefcases.

Carrying 19 hours as a criminal justice major, working 15 hours a week in the Computer Assisted Learning Lab (CALL), and work- ing with the ROTC, one could see why he needs a calendar. One of the reasons Alfert came to Northeast is his major. After searching for the right school, he chose NLU because, ‘‘Northeast has the best law enforcement school in the state of Louisiana,” He felt that if he wanted to get the best education in the field that he should go to the best school. Another reason for his choos- ing NLU is the ROTC program, which is well established on cam- pus. Serving in the Reserves in Georgia gave Alfert pride in the U.S.A. and a desire to help serve his country even more. Joining the. ROTC program gave Alfert a chance to, ‘serve the country as an officer, defend the principles and rights of the constitution, and protect the peo- ple of the U.S.A.” Alfert is a leading figure in the NLU ROTC program. He is a Tac- ticle Training Officer, Command- er of the Bayou Raiders, and he was the vice-president of the Scabbard and Blade for one se- mester. After going to class and work- ing with the ROTC during the day, Alfert works in the CALL at night. ‘I enjoy working with the students who come into the CALL Lab,” he said. Alfert has worked in the Lab for the last three semesters and has enjoyed helping with student orientation the most. Having once been a D.E. student, he under- stands what students are going through. Alfert a sophomore from Lees- ville, is family oriented and thinks highly of his parents. His father is German and his mother is Chero- kee Indian. His background prompted him to learn to speak both of his par- ents’ native tongues. Alfert espe- cially enjoys studying German and speaks it fluently. He is still somewhat a beginner at Indian. When he manages to find time, Alfert enjoys boxing, swimming, camping, and hunting. He is also a martial arts expert. With all of his activities, Alfert is certainly never bored. -Helen Vanderhoven Eric Hanson Alfert enjoys assisting the students in the CALL Lab.

One such op- portunity is that of learning scuba diving. Scuba diving class, alias “Health and P.E. 243,” is given - under the instruction of Dr. El- bert Van Buren, certified NAUI instructor. Van Buren, a Monroe clini- -cal psychologist, has taught scuba diving classes at the YMCA since 1967. The class has been at NLU for five years. “For two years | taught the class as part of the leisure os learning program,’ he said. “The past three years it has been a one-credit health and i PE, course: Four assistants help Van - Buren with the class. Steve Bo- die, Louis Bryant, Duffy Fran- tom, and Jon Haddad are all certified divers. - “The course takes 30 hours,’ said Van Buren. _ “There are 18 hours of lecture, - and about 12 hours of pool time.” “Pool time” refers to diving _ time. After meeting at the colli- ee -seum for one and a half hours of lecture, the class moves to _ the natatorium. There the stu- - dents don their gear and learn _ diving techinques in the div- ing well. “At the first meeting the stu- dents start out with mask, fins, and snorkel,” said Van Buren. e “We teach them the basic skin diving equipment and skills, __ then go on to scuba.” Although the class is not of- i _ fered for certification, the for- mat is the same as a certifica- tion course. Being a certified diver allows one to legally buy or rent equipment, and rent air for dives. Dive shops will not give a diver air for his tank without a certification card. 364 Scuba Class “To get certified you have to do three checkout dives in the ocean,’ Van Buren explained. “The university did not want to be responsible for the dives, so the class alone is not for certifi- cation.” “If a student wants to get certified he can go with the YMCA classes,’ said Van Buren. ‘About 80% of the col- lege students end up certify- ing. The other 20% don't have the time or money, or are be- hind in their schoolwork and can't go when the dives are scheduled.” Van Buren’s classes go to Destin, Florida, for the check- out dives on a shipwreck. ‘The water is clear and the diving conditions are good there,” said Van Buren. “The Liberty is 450 feet long and 87 feet across at its widest point. There’s a super abun- dance of fish and marine life, and it’s really a_ turn-on dive for the students. They want to see a bunch of fish, lobsters, and stuff. Plain water and sand is boring.”’ Before being allowed to go on the checkout dives, stu- dents must pass the required written exam. “This is not a crip course,” said Van Buren. “'] think some students brush it off because it’s a P.E. course. They don’t study, fail the written exam, and then can't go on the dives.” “The students must pass this exam because they have to know the material in order to dive safely,’’ Van Buren said. “If they don’t pass the first time, they retake it until they pass before diving.” Van Buren enjoys teaching at the college. ‘College classes are sort of unique be- cause the watermanship of the students is usually quite good from the start,’”’ he said. Some people consider scu- ba diving a dangerous sport. Van Buren disagreed with this viewpoint. “You can just as easily get killed in a car,” he said. ‘‘Dur- ing a trip, I think a diver is safer once he reaches the ocean. The worst effect I've ex- perienced from diving is just being tired; no broken bones, cuts, or bruises.” ‘T emphasize safety primar- ily and then fun after that,’ Van Buren said. ‘When used properly, the equipment is very safe. The problems in div- ing are human error.” Tommy Cagle enrolled in the scuba diving class at the suggestion of friends who dive. “T've always been interested in water activities, as well as nature,” he said. “The under- water world is a totally differ- ent side of nature I wanted to learn about.” “Dr. Van Buren is a strict teacher, but he knows what he's doing. I like the class a lot, and plan to get certified in April or May.” During the fall and spring semesters two sections of the scuba class are offered. Each class meets one night a week for three hours. One class is offered during summer terms. There is an $85 fee for the course. This fee covers the costs of the textbook, equip- ment used, and pool use. The same course taken through a dive shop would cost about $150.

Amy Shamblin gets some tips on saxophone playing from Rollins. A new note Band gains new assistant director he ‘Sound of Today” boasts a new addition this year, with David Rollins as- suming the responsibilities of assistant band director. He brings with him knowl- edge and experience from 13 years of work with high school marching bands and band camps in Mississippi, Louisi- ana, and Kentucky. Working with college stu- dents is a new experience for Rollins, but he said, “The more I do it, the more | like it. It is dealing more with young adults rather than kids.” ‘Students at the college lev- el tend to learn faster, are more mature, and can play better music. Here I have less time to get things done, but they still get done,” Rollins said. Rollins came to NLU from Natchez, Mississippi. There he was director of the South Nat- chez High School band, which he played in as a student. With such a position in his home- town, what could make him want to come to NLU? “Opportunity and Jack White,’’ Rollins explained. “I asked him about my future at NLU, working with him, and I| liked and trusted the answers he gave me.” “As l interviewed for the job I got a very positive outlook for the future of NLU. It seems to be a growing university with a bright future, and that’s the type of thing I want to be in- volved in.” Rollins began working with bands in 1971, and it has not always been an easy job. He said, “I have driven thousands of miles and spent a lot of mon- ey and time away from my family to learn about the latest techniques used in marching bands.” However, the satisfaction and enjoyment gained from his work keep Rollins dedi- cated to it. “I enjoy the excite- ment in marching band, and learning to communicate with the audience,” he said. Rollins’s duties include writ- ing drill designs for football half-time shows, conducting the basketball pep band and two of the three concert bands, and working with public school bands in the Monroe area. He also teaches a music ap- preciation class and helps teach a class in marching band methods. Changing schools is not easy for students or instructors, but Rollins has not encoun- tered any difficulties in adjust- ing to NLU. He attributed this to NLU faculty and students. “It has been a very easy change due to the guidance of Jack White and the efforts of the students | in ‘The Sound of Today.’” | “Monroe and NLU have been good for my family and | me. I hope to make Monroe | and NLU my home.” - Teri Goul a mf i MM mM UY | SSS Eric Hanson te at wees Bordelon, Annette-Tioga Borrero, Eileen-Leesville Bostic, Rita-Monroe Bourgeois, Kimberly-lowa Boyd, Jay-Monticello, AR Boyster, Deirdre-Lake Village, AR Boyte, Julie-Oak Grove Braach, Lisa-E] Dorado, AR Bradberry, Lori-Mansfield Braden, Deb-Monroe Bradshaw, Mickey-Bernice Brantley, Lisa-Monticello Brantley, Loree-Farmerville Brasfield, Melanie-Shreveport Bratton, Susan-West Monroe Breaux, Kenneth-Lafayette Breland, Bobby-Jena Breland, Gretchen-Monroe Brewer, Sheryl-West Monroe Brodnax, John-Monroe Brooks, Leverty-Shreveport Brooks, Shelley-Crossett, AR Broughton, Doris-Bastrop Brouillette, Charles-Shreveport Brown, Allen-Columbia Brown, Ann-Winnfield Brown, Dave-Alexandria Brown, Karen-Farmerville Brown, Kathy-Heflin Brown, Lori-Bastrop Brown, Norma-Jena Brown, Shirlevia-Shreveport Brown, Sonja-New Orleans Brulte, Bob-West Monroe Brun, Constance-Leesville Brunk, Mike-Monroe Bryan, Stacey-West Monroe Bryant, Carla-Monroe Bryant, Daniel-Bastrop Burgoyne, Ann-Monroe Burkett, Kimberly-Crossett, AR Burleson, Patricia-Essex, MO Burns, Sheri-Winnsboro Burton, Norma-Dermott, AR Busby, Lisa-Pineville Butler, Deborah-Swartz Butler, James-Swartz Butler, James-Crosseti, AR Byrd, Mikal Ann-Manassas, VA Byrd, Tammy-Monroe Calhoun, Lorraine-Delhi Calloway, Karen-Pinebluff, AR Camp, Ginger-Tioga Canady, Karen-Bastrop Canoy, Becky-Forest Canoy, Shannon-Oak Grove Canterbury, Robert-Monroe Cantu, Charlene-Watson Carey, Yolanda-Shreveport Carloss, Stephanie-Fort Necessity, CT Carpenter, Billie Jo-Winnsboro Carroll, Tammy-Winnsboro Carter, Percy-Lake Providence Case, Janet-Slidell Cassels, Tony-Columbia Caston, Keith-Rayville Catalani, Toni-Lake Village Causey, Sylvia-Bonita Chambers, Chalica-Monroe Chan, Chee Kong-Malaysia Freshmen 371 | Chance, Shannon-Tioga Chatelain, Gary-New Orleans Chatman, Veronica-Pioneer Chauvin, Susan-Lafayette Chiba, Rieko-Japan Chisholm, David-Crossett, AR Chong, Fui Jin-Malaysia Christodoulides, Constantinos-Cyprus Chung, Dominic-Hong Kong, Chunn, Diane-Rayville Claiborne, Caterina-Manstield Clements, Toney-Spartanburg, SC Cochran, Renee-Rayville Cole, Lisa-Tulsa, OK Cole, Rachel-Monroe Coleman, David-Alexandria Coleman, Ken-Jena Coleman, Margaret-Olla Collins, Kevin-Winnfield Collins, Stephanie-Monroe Colvin, David-West Monroe Colvin, Phyllis-Rayville Comeaux, Jimmy-Rayville Connard, Andy-Dermott, AR Coody, Karmen-Bastrop Cook, Celeste-West Monroe Cook, Leslie-West Monroe Cook, Melissa-Minden Cook, Michele-Sterlington Cook, Tina-Plain Dealing Cooksey, Sharon-Columbia Copes, John-West Monroe Cordry, Cathy-West Monroe Corley, Leanne-West Monroe Cornist, Shaucdon-Delhi Costantini, Marion- Vidalia Counts, Jeff-West Monroe Cox, Melinda-Oak Grove Craig, MacKenzie-Monroe Crain, Darla-Haile Crayton, Mack-Shreveport Crews, Brian-Dallas, TX Crockham, Pecola-Epps Croggett, Sheila-Rayville Cross, Mark-Lake Charles Crow, Michele-Monroe Crowe, Candace-Oak Grove Crowe, Sue-Oak Grove Culpepper, Lejean-Minden Cummings, James-Shreveport Cyrus, David-Monroe Dallalio, Benita-Vidalia Daniel, Glynise-Monroe Daniel, Inger-Bastrop Daniels, Clark dr.-Sicily Island Darrington, Gwen-Monroe David, Danny-Winnsboro David, Delmon-Baton Rouge Davis, Gwendolyn-Delhi Davis, Jeff-Jonesville Davis, Kenneth-Minden Davis, Lisa-Monroe Davis, Mark-Pineville Davis, Matt-Tioga Davis, Mia-Dermott, AR Davis, Mirandus-Monroe Davis, Pamela-Benton Davis, Ruthie-Monroe Davis, Sonya-Monroe Day, Aimee-Jena 372 Freshmen Dean, Don-McGehee, AR Dean, Robert-Shreveport Dearman, Clyde-Delhi DeBellevue, Patti-Alexandria Dechapatananond, C-Thailand Deckelman, Angie- allulah DeFils, Sundee-Alexandria DeGeneres, Dana-Monroe DeGeneres, Tammi-Slidel!

All in the For F or the family of Carol Gen- usa, an instructor in manage- ment and marketing at North- east Louisiana University, NLU is home-away-from-home. Her husband, Dr. Vincent Genusa, is a professor of physics at NLU and four of their five chil- dren are currently enrolled at Northeast. The Genusa family’s tie with NLU began when Vincent and Carol met at the university in the 1950's. ‘I came to NLU as a junior from New Orleans, and I met Vin- cent in my first class, a physics class,’’ Carol recalled. “We even- tually married, and except for the time period when Vincent went off t o work on his doctorate, we remained at NLU as either stu- dents, graduate students, or fac- ulty.”’ The kids, Angela, Cindy, Cheryl, and Stephen, are all pres- ently attending the university, and while it would seem that hav- ing parents on the faculty would insure that the children would at- tend NLU, the decisions were not clear cut. “| think that with my genera- tion, it was assumed that one’s kids would all go to college,” Carol said. “They've enlightened us to the fact that maybe they all aren't excited about going to col- ee a) the Genusa family lege, and we've learned not to push, to let them make some of their own decisions. It was diffi- cult at first.” Two of the Genusa daughters sat out a year after high school before deciding to attend NLU. “They've sat out, come back part- time, and come back full-time,” Carol added. Of the four children at North- east, two are married, and their spouses are also NLU students. The oldest daughter, Angela, a computer science major, is mar- _ ried to John Pemberton, an avi- ation major. Sister Cindy is a computer information systems major and is married to K erry | Coe, a graduating senior in mar- keting. Ironically, Cindy and Kerry met outside of the university, al- though Kerry was a student of | Mrs. Genusa. The semester that | the two decided to wed, Carol | recalls telling her class about at- | tending her daughter's wedding while a quiet Kerry sat in the classroom. : “I was telling them all about the wedding, and how lovely the © bride was and how handsome the | groom was, and the whole time | Kerry was in the room and no- | body knew he was the groom.” | Cindy is the only one of the | Eric Hanson - _ BER art Li “Chery family is a second home ee ke actually had a par- ent for a teacher; she took a class under her father once. “I didn’t let on who I was either,”’ she laughed. “I sat quetly and lis- tened to what the students had to say about Dad, and it was funny.” Before teaching at NLU, Carol sat in on some of her husband's classes to observe his techniques. She, too, laughs at the memory of students talking unknowingly to her about Dr. Genusa. ‘No one knew who I was, and I would just sit back and listen,” she said. “They would say ever- ythinc freely, as students tend to I would just smile. We hear things in the halls, too; you can hear them talking and they don't realize Vincent and | are married.’ Carol feels that there are ad- vantages to having kids attending NLU, such as similar vacation times which allow the family to be together. There are advantages for the kids, too, in having under- standing and sympathetic helpers at NLU. “The Sher two kids, Cheryl and Stephen, are enrolled at NLU in either Vincent's department or mine, just because it is conve- t for them, Carol explained. |is majoring in marketing, and Stephen is in physics, but they may not stay in these areas. They aren't sure what they want to major in; they enjoy trying out new courses to see where their interests lie.”’ Cindy pointed out another ad- vantage to having parents at NLU. “They understand proce- dures like registration and things and they are sympathetic to our difficulties as students, ’ she said. “We go to them with all our school problems, and they are very helpful.”’ “They can help us with our homework problems, too,” she added with a laugh. The only Genusa not at NLU is son Bobby, who is a junior at St. Frederick High School in Mon- roe. Will he follow in the family tradition and attend Northeast? He says “yes.” ''l’m pretty sure I'll attend NLU,” Bobby said. “I haven't planned on taking a class under either of my parents, but it wouldn't bother me if I did.” One thing is obvious; the Gen- usa family is taking full advantage of the opportunities provided by NLU. “Northeast is like a second home for our family,’ Carol said. “We've always been involved in NLU activities, and we're very happy here at the university.” -by Tammy Cecile Rodgers Eric Hanson Like any man, Stephen Genusa en- joys watching girls.

Ageless Vitality retains feeling of youth t's never too late to learn and Lillian Gray is living proof. At age 85, Mrs. Lil- lian Gray is the oldest student enrolled at NLU. “The idea that people can't learn well after 40 is nonsense,’ Gray said. “I've been learning for 85 years.” From first appearance one might expect her to be sitting at home knitting, but she is not one to just sit at home. ‘'] won't stay home and become bored. I like to keep busy,” she said. One way Gray keeps busy is through her ceramics class. ‘I've always been interested in ceramics. When | was a little girl, I used to love to play with mud pies. I guess | haven't grown up yet, because in a way, l|'m still playing with them.” Besides school, Gray has plenty of other activities to oc- cupy her time. She is a mem- ber of the Bayou DeSiard Gar- den Club and the Monroe Op- era Club. “] think it is important for older people to have an inter- est in life,” she said. ‘‘We have a lot of leisure time. We should make good use of it.” Gray was born in Oklahoma in 1898. Her family moved to the Lake Charles area in 1900. She attended various colleges 382 Lillian Gray including LSU, University of Virginia, and Sillman Jr. Col- lege in Clinton, Louisiana. Gray worked at the Louisi- ana State Library, taught school, and was head librarian at the Concordia Parish Li- brary for over 20 years. During her earlier years, Gray took time out from her career to be married and have children. At age 67, she retired from her career as a librarian. She says at O she began to feel her age. ‘When | was O, | felt older than at any other age. But getting involved in things helped me feel younger,’’ she said. ‘I’ve been 70 for 15 years now.” Gray feels there is a wide range of opportunities for older people at NLU. Tl think it's wondertul for NLU to have so many classes open to senior citizens. When I started col- lege in 1916, there were no older people around.” She ad- ded that college life is nothing like it used to be. ‘They used to send chaperons with us ev- erywhere we went, even to go shopping.” “There is less formality on campus now than when I was young,’ said Gray. ‘Students don't dress formally anymore; they're more relaxed.
