In January of 1986, higher edu- cation in Louisiana was faced with a 4 percent executive budget cut. The reduction was a result of the state’s worsening financial condi- tion. Oil prices dropped from $34 per barrel to $11 per barrel. Louisiana lost millions of dollars in revenue, and the legislature was forced to cut expenditures and raise taxes. The hardest hit areas on campus were the Student Affairs Depart- ment with a $286,000 cut, the Busi- ness Affairs Department with a Opening 3 y -— e 4 | [ oa- § ys lat FY, f os we 7? , SF De is } a {7 j ( ? 4h (COT $540,000 cut, and the Athletic De- partment with a $504,000 cut. However, there were some in- creases. Funds were increased in the College of Business, the School of Pharmacy, and the Department of Computer Science to help them meet accreditation standards. To help provide additional mon- ey, tuition increased $50 for the summer session and $114 for the fall semester. The university, individual de- partments, and students had to re- evaluate and take a hard look at what was important. They concentrated their efforts and pulled together to keep NLU strong. And that, was the bottom line. —Amber Baldwin 4 Opening Richard Lupo Richard Lupo Richard Lupo Although a little tired from the practice session, they held up their heads high and proud. Not even budget cuts can make the Electones come down. Surveying the campus serves the double purpose of class activity and job experi- ence for construction majors.

Regardless of what came their way, a $504,000 budget cut wouldn’t stop the Indians. They beat Southwest Texas 17- 14 in NLU’s first home game of the sea- son.

Many were forced to look elsewhere for financial assistance and found part-time employment due to budget cuts. Students also had to be cautious with their spending. However, when the schedule of home- work and regular activities seemed to become too tedious and dull, students always could find something to break the routine. Concerts, pageants, plays, dorm life, fashions and parties continued despite what, at times, seem to be insurmount- able financial problems. The never-ending cycle of waiting at registration, attending classes, taking tests and graduating go on as always. In the end, it will always be the stu- dents who make the difference between commonplace and special in their own lives. Students are THE BOTTOM LINE. —Amber Baldwin and Michelle Carbo Pennieeacacisicedis eisai erode RRL SINPLRR DIR, oid RAE eEO ere Ree een teat seantuneeacommnacumaieng omen pnmeaainnen ea t aes pola aeLU heeREN ASAIN rR IAT ETA I EIS SEEN AIA PAIN AER PARA REITER NTA SONY AAAS RAS NAOT AM « Spring Fe ¥ Don Durr ve It’s All For Fun The Union Board kicked off Spring Fever Week Monday with T-shirt sales in front of the SUB. Later that night, the Bliz- zard of Bucks Contest was held at Ewing Coliseum. Con- test winner Lisa Cook scooped up $207 in 30 seconds in the plexiglass booth filled with $500 of air-blown money. Cook was selected by a pan- el of judges to enter the booth after participating with 11 others in such games as eating a string with a marshmallow on the end of it and squirting water on a burning candle. The following night brought comedian Gallagher to North- east. About 5,747 people at- tended the concert with um- brellas and covers to protect themselves from his famous Sledge-o-matic hammer. Gallagher is also known for one-liners like, “Why do they say TV set when there’s only one TV?” or “If your woman leaves you for another woman, do you hold the door for both of them?” In an interview, Gallagher said, “It’s my job to find what people are tense about, point it out and help them laugh at it.” “If I can relieve some of the anxiety by mocking a politi- cian, poking fun at sexism or smashing a container of low salt, low sugar, low fat yogurt, then I feel I’ve helped keep people from killing one an- other.” During the middle of the week, Spring Fever attendants enjoyed Crazy Water Games and later the SGA held a party on the beach. Thursday brought the Scay- enger Hunt and the Almost Newlywed Game. Go Wild Day ended the school week as well as a Spring Fever Dance, with the band “Change to Eden”, held Friday night at the Monroe Civic Center Arena. Starting at 8 a.m., the triathalon began Saturday’s event that also included the Bayou Blowout on the beach, the crawfish boil, and at night the Rocky Horro Picture Show. con’t Comedian Gallagher entertained local fans during his concert held in Ewing Coliseum on the second day of Spring Fever activities. ee The excitement of Spring Fever compe- tition is expressed by Karen Canady, Jackie Washington, and friends, as they cheer on their team. 8 Student Life Active in Spring Fever events each year, Dr. Perry Jones yells at student supporters after the hamburger eating contest.

Graduation. Years of studying, working and crying were abruptly ended by this single event. “I wasn’t really nervous until I went in and sat down, then it hit me, I was graduating,” said Bet- tye Hutchins, history major and the housing director of Cosper Hall. “With my family there, it was more a time of happiness than one of sadness, because I knew I would be back at NLU for grad- uate school,” said Hutchins. Behind lay the memories of Sunday morning hangovers; the crazed dating game; the an- guished feelings after receiving an “F” in a class and of course, mixing with all the people.

In individual competition, Brant won the swimsuit cate- gory while Lester captured the talent scholarship with a piano selection entitled “Rustle of Spring.” For the talent category, McKeithen performed a ballet- ponté dance; and Canady, dressed in a red flapper dress, sang a rendition of “Hit Me with a Hot Note and Watch Me Bounce.” Brant’s talent offering was a ventriloquist act in which her “dummy partners”, Copper and Katie sang the “Trolley Song”. “I’ve been a ventriloquist for 14 years,” said Brant. “You want to keep it on an entertain- ing and humorous level, as well as gearing the routine to an adult audience,” she said.

Stu- dents either stayed awake until 12:00 or dragged themselves out of bed to support the Indi- ans. To boost spirit even more, fund-raising activities were tied in with Wreck Tech Week by the Epsilon Mu chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon. The fraternity sold plastic cups with drink dis- counts offered by local bars. Proceeds from the sale went to St. Jude’s Children’s Re- search Hospital. “Wreck Tech Week is a great time to promote school spirit,” said TKE member, Bill Ander- son, pharmacy senior. dpa Fades Noo 7” 18 Student Life “Since the celebrity sponsor of St. Jude’s is Danny Thomas, who is a TKE, it is only natural that we raise money for it.” The Lambda Tau chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi held its an- nual Arthiritis Foundation rock-a-thon during Wreck Tech Week.

Controversy among black and white students arose in 1985 after an extra position had been added to the court that provided a place for a black member.

It was so unexpected,” said Lane. “When I was voting I was pick- ing out everyone who I thought would win, but I never thought it would be me.” Student opinion of the home- coming procedure varied. “T don’t think it was fair that students were forced to vote for seven whites and three blacks.

Before pedaling off to class, though, one was re- quired to go through bicycle registration via University Po- lice. Mopeds, motorcycles and cars also had to be registered and display a parking sticker. The stickers, distributed by the NLU police, allowed student parking only in specified areas.

They wear what will make them appear as they want others to see them,” said Laura Barrilleaux, radio TV film management junior, “In a way you’re dressing for others, not yourself.” Not all students dressed for outward appearances. Quite a few dressed for individuality. 32 Student Life “Fads come and go, and they aren’t necessarily tasteful. Fashion is the classic look. It stays around,” said Susan Cook, manager of Fields, a women’s apparel store. Students wore the latest styles for reasons as varied as the fads and fashions them- selves. “T like to be in fashion be- cause it looks nice, and it com- plements my outward appear- ance,” said Kim Riggs, pharma- cy junior. “T don’t want to be like every- body else, I have my own per- sonality,” said Yvette Reynolds, interior design freshman.

It was unlike anything we had ever done. There are so many villains, and we do not have much experience in being evil,” said Mara Loeb, director and costume designer for the production. Set in the south during the turn-of-the-century, “Little Foxes” depicted the scandalous Student Life Hubbard family. The manipula- tive clan consisted of two im- moral brothers and their equal- ly cynical sister. Throughout the play, charac- ters used guilt, embezzlement and physical abuse to gain pow- er for themselves. Cast member Vicki Valen- tine, public relations senior, said, “Playing Regina was my most difficult role ever. I just don’t usually walk around act- ing so mean.” Valentine and other cast members performed the play in a set kept simple and designed similar to a southern plantation. The heart condition of Horace, played by Ken LaMartiniere, constricts him to a wheelchair. Angelique Fontenette lis- tens with LaMartiniere as Felix Massey reports of a trap laid for the Hubbards. This allowed various scenes to be acted as if the cast was in different rooms throughout the play. Elaborate costumes were de- signed to accommodate con- tinuous costume changes. “Designing the costumes was such a challenge, and it was un- like anything I’ve ever done,” said Loeb.

Sunday is traditionally an ap- preciated day of rest for most people. Yet, for some students, Sunday is another word for boredom. Leaving town, church activi- ties, school work and recrea- tions are a few of the choices students have to pass the time. Jill Worthy, public relations freshman, escaped cabin fever by leaving campus on the week- ends and by seeing friends then dining out on Sundays. “Usually I go out of town ev- ery weekend, and I’m coming back from Alexandria on Sun- days. I’ve tried staying here over the weekends, but most of 38 Student Life the time I have something im- portant to do. I also like to go eat and go visit people on Sun- days,” said Worthy. Damian Bracy, pre-veteri- nary medicine senior, beat the Sunday blahs by attending church. “I get up in the morning, go to church, eat, study all 19 hours of my course load, and then I go swimming after- wards,” Bracy said. Some students, such as Mu- sic sophomore Tracey Stecher, actually studied to chase away Sunday afternoon boredom. “T dedicate my life to being a full-time student. If not that, I ANANEUUUL TANMENAAU LL TUTUAAENE TEUNANUALE TELEEENATE LAAT TETETEEN grab a six-pack of Bud and cruise Forsythe Park to relieve intellectual tensions,” said Stecher. Recreational sports provided a way out of just another hum- drum Sunday for Paul Astery, aviation freshman. “Sunday the team is usually gone for a tournament. I mostly study, try to keep my grades up and then go bike-riding,” he said. Sunday, far from only being a day to sleep in extra-late, watch TV, eat junk food and drink ei- ther beer or Coke, is for each student what he makes it. —Katie Andrews HE UPEDTT?

As a college student, patriotism was called in various forms. Northeast Louisiana Univer- sity students became involved in nation-wide events such as the restoraion of the Statue of Liberty, concerts like Hands Across America, Farm Aid, and apartheid related activities. The Statue of Liberty, a sym- bol of hope to United States citizens and immigrants for 100 years, received support from the entire nation to be restored. With the fourth of July cele- bration, America went Lady Li- berty crazy. The public first saw the com- pleted statue on October 28, 1886.

Kevin Parker, business ad- ministration junior, who also participated, said, “It shows people still care about people. It’s something that happens once in a lifetime, and I can say I was a part of it.” Students showed an interest in patriotism by the increased enrollment of 16% in the ROTC program, in spite of the 7% de- crease in school enrollment.

This scheduling requires an un- usual daily routine. “When I started college, I found it difficult to adjust my sleeping habits to allow time for activities and studying,” said Angela Howard, radiologic a 46 Student Life a Ch technology sophomore. Absent-mindedness is some- thing most students admit to at one time or another during their busy schedules. Forgetting small daily things often results in annoying habits. “I get in such a hurry some- times that I forget to take my keys out of the truck and lock the door. That can really aggra- vate me,” said Missy Clark, journalism sophomore.

The opportunity to meet peo- ple who are new and different and to exercise responsibility was a major part of college. “Resident hall living should supplement classroom experi- ence and be a vital part of the overall education process,” said Hazard.

However, that arrangement was no longer possible, and the en- tire amount was due at registra- tion. “This new payment policy will have a definite effect on the number of students living on campus,” Hazard said. “The strain of increased tuition and payment in full for resident halls will defeat many student’s budgets.

Many activities sponsored at NLU require continuous prac- ticing and dedication from ev- ery member involved. Without concentration on the routines or plays, the whole performance could become a fiasco. Constant drilling and exer- cise form the basis to a perfect performance.

You have to be an adult to go to jail and 18 is that age lim- ite It was not difficult to find those opposed to raising the age limit. However, some students saw advantages to the increase. “T think it should be changed to 21 because you are still in your teen years at the age of 18. It’s just too young,” said Tiffiny Bobo, occupational therapy freshman. Computer Information Sys- tems junior Regina Byrdsong said, “It should be raised be- cause there are just too many young people drinking.” Although some local estab- lishments didn’t allow anyone under 21 inside their clubs, oth- ers kept 18 as the age limit. “The people who are pushing to raise the age limit are literal- ly pushing 18-year-olds into the streets where they will be killed from drinking and driving.

Grades are more important, and the call of the night life does not beckon with the force it once did. Such was the case of Terry Harold, who was out of school for 13 years and was a student beginning his master’s study program in general business. Coming back to the college atmosphere was quite a change. “I think the big change is me.

I don’t feel the competi- tion with the younger set,” said Harold. “My first degree was in mu- sic, but I never pursued any- thing in music. I decided it was time to learn more about busi- ness.” Harold grew up in a business- oriented family, and came to find out, while recovering from a serious car accident, that busi- ness would be more profitable than music in the long run. For Keith Rollins, an older freshman in radio television a gaa film, returning to college was necessary because he could not find a job in his field of piano. Being a “starving artist” did not help any with tuition. “Now I am really winging it on my own. I feel that despera- tion was a good way to describe it (unemployment),” said Rol- lins.

Most do not wait long after high school to go right on to college. However, most students who decide to return to college later in life have additional responsi- bilities beyond typical student worries. Most do not have financial support from parents, and some are parents themselves raising Hea wh el watt af; i i ba oa children. “The emotional and mental burdens are as great as the fi- nancial burden.

Actually, this abundance of talent came from regular stu- dents who were under hypnosis. “I didn’t remember singing ‘Like AVirgin’, but I guess I did because all my friends told me about it. It was pretty embar- rassing,” said Jennifer Jones, pre-law sophomore. A chance to fulfill the position of televi- sion hostess, Vanna White, is consid- ered by this student as Lautrec stands by. 64 Student Life Jon Lautrec, a hypnotist who has previously performed on campus, called for twenty vol- unteers to subject themselves to the mystery of hypnosis. “It was weird.

It’s the law” were words repeated continuously by television and radio stations to reinforce the new Louisiana seat belt law. “All passenger vehicles man- ufactured after 1972 have to wear the seat belts except for pick-up trucks, vans and people with physical and mental dis- 66 Student Life abilities,” said Major Jones of the Monroe Police Department. Police officers can stop a ve- hicle only for valid reasons such as moving violations or expired tags. If the front two passengers do not have on their seat belts, then they may be fined $25.00, said Sheriff Laymon Godwin. However, cases are not fre- quent in the Monroe area. “Though there is the seat belt law, there are too many acci- dents,” said Jones. “October 1986 is the twelfth month since the law was passed; nine months out of these twelve have had 2,500 accidents recorded.” Many students at NLU had varied viewpoints towards the safety of the seat belt, making the issue very debatable. “I feel that the seat belt law makes a difference because it saves more lives than without. It’s a prevention of death,” said Littie Brutus, nursing fresh- man. Rodney Moon, business freshman, said, “I thought the seat belt law was a big waste of time because people will wear them or not wear them if they want too.” —Pam Vallien If a passenger does not wear a seat belt, then it is the passenger who re- ceives the ticket.

President Ronald Reagan, on January 2, 1986, accused the Soviet Union and Cuba of spon- soring terrorism and drug traf- ficking in Latin America. “The Soviets realize that (communism) will never be es- tablished by choice in this hemisphere, so they resort to subversion and support for ter- rorism,” said Reagan. “Their malevolent activity in this hemisphere affects our bi- lateral relations with them.” Reagan contended that the Soviets were operating drug- smuggling in Latin America through Cuba and Nicaragua. “These twin evils, narcotics trafficking and terrorism, repre- sent the most insidious threats to the hemisphere today,” said Reagan. Student Life January 11, Brigadier Gener- al Gideon Machanaima, deputy advisor to Israeli Prime Minis- ter Shimon Peres, questioned military retaliation against Lib- ya for the Rome Vienna airport attacks. “The best way, or let’s say the successful way to combat ter- rorism is to kill terrorist lead- ers,” Machanaima said. “Whenever we’re able to as- sassinate a terrorist leader, it has provided us with a certain period of respite.” Israeli’s intelligence agency, the Mossad, was known to have employed “hit squads” in the past to hunt down and kill Pales- tinian commanders, although it was not thought to have done so recently, according to Facts-on- File 86. An anti-terrorism summit was held at Tokyo, May S, where Reagan actively partici- pated in the making of a state- ment designed to hamper ter- rorism. The summit was also attend- ed by the heads of state from Great Britain, West Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan, and France. A joint statement issued by the leaders of the various coun- tries condemmed terrorism, and all vowed to fight it “relentless- ly and without compromise.” No economic sanctions were imposed, however, even though the USA strongly advocated us- ing them. In the September ’86 issue of Science Digest, Bonnie Cordes, a leading contributor to Rand Corporation’s report series “Trends in International Terror- ism” said, “Terrorism is increas- ing not only in quantity but in lethality.

Some students must face the pressure that evolves from big- otry, discrimination, sexual preferences and job inequality. “When I came here from Tur- key, I applied for a tutoring job, but was informed that the Americans had the priority for the job. Now I tutor privately,” said M. Cumhur Girgin, gradu- ate student. Hsiano-Fang Yang, graduate student in education said, “I’ve been here in America for four and a half years. Before I came here I did not know the word discriminate. When I was in my country, I was never treated that way.” “I was in the biology depart- ment — being Chinese, we are taught to respect our professors. Anyway, I was friendly and 72 Student Life some teachers didn’t give me any feedback. I was sad.” “I then asked someone about this and they said that some teachers had a problem when it came to international students. That’s when I finally under- stood the word.” Discrimination does not only focus on race. Many women and men have found that because of their sexuality, they were treat- ed unjustly. “Because I was a woman, I failed a certain class as many others did also. I was extremely angry. It was very demeaning,” said Elizabeth Owens, ra- dio TV film junior. “I felt my rights as a woman and an American citizen were degraded.

Students also had no difficul- ty gaining permission to live off- campus. There were no resi- dence halls.

Murphy is the only adviser the team has had since its incep- tion in 1976. “It was started by a bunch of students, mainly Bill Rain- water, Mike Adams and Hank Keiser,” Murphy said.

The Lady Indian’s finished their season with an 8-7 dual meet record. The women’s team took on LSU, Rice, Tulane, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Alabama and Florida State. “I felt our team responded well to the challenge and I am very proud of their effort,” Head Swim Coach John Pit- tington said. “I cannot take anything away from the LSU squad, they are a well-coached team with a tre- mendous amount of talent.” The team started slow, but earned their first win in late No- vember against Southland Con- ference foe, North Texas State. It was up and down through- out the middle of the season; however, the swim team fin- ished strong, winning three of their last four dual meets and placing seventh in the National Independent Championships in Columbia, S.C. Darren Fadgen paced the squad. She held the team bests in the 200 meter freestyle, 500 freestyle, 1,000 freestyle and the 1,650 freestyle. Kathy Zubatuk held team highs in the 50 meter freestyle and 100 freestyle. In the 200 meter individual medley, she set a school time of 2:07.93 at the championships in South Carol- nia. Denise Daigle cornered the diving market, setting school re- cords in the one and three meter event. Her 266.5 was a record in the one meter, and 177.05 was a record in the three. Both the 200 and the 400 + medley relay teams set school records. Lisa Hokett, Diane Stephens, Erika Meyer, and Zu- batuk combined for a time fo 1:52.98 in the 200, and Hokett, Stephens, Carroll Moore and Makin’ Waves. Swim teams handle tough competition Fadgen turned in a time of | 4:01.75 in the 400. According to Hokett, her in- terest in swimming began when | she was 15-years-old. “I found the sport by acci- dent,” Hockett said. “I went out for several sports, but I wasn’t that good in them. I tried swim- ming, and that’s how it all start- ed. Just as their female counter- parts, the record on the 1986 Indian swim team is a bit decep- tive at first. The 10-7 record is not im- pressive until it is realized that five of the seven losses came from Alabama, Tulane, Arkan- sas, Tampe and Florida State. “Regardless of the record, the 1985-1986 team was the toughest we’ve ever had, and we almost upset four of our oppo- nents,” said Pittington. The men struggled early but took first place in the Hendrix Relays in Conway, Ark. in mid- November. NLU garnered 308 points to edge Southwest Mis- souri with 300 even. The men’s team won three of their last four and seven of their last nine, before falling 67-45 to LSU in the season finale in the Lake C. Oxford Natatorium. At the National Independent Championships in South Caro- lina in February the team took eighth place. “We scored the most points Four-year veteran Head Coach John Pittington instructs his swimmers to be ready for the upcoming competition. “Pitt's” coaching style is one that stresses mental toughness and strong competition. Skip Johnson ever in that meet, and our team had the most spirit and showed the most guts of any team in the meet,” said Pittington. “They constantly swam fas- ter than they were expected to, in every event.” Shawn Bauer led the club with four team bests.

Richard Covington defends his flag with a steady aim and a pull of the trigger as Dave McGee attempts to capture the flag. The Survival Game is chess in the woods. It is a team sport played with men and women from all walks of live ... each carrying a CO2 pistol that shoots paint-filled pellets. The object is for your team to find the enemy’s flag hidden somewhere in the woods, and return it to your own flag station — while stopping the enemy from doing the same.

Imagination knows no bound- aries, has no limits and allows the child the freedom to adjust the rules of his particular game as it progresses. Well, for you who thoroughly enjoyed those good times, you can now have a chance to relive them in the Survival Game. It is a grown up version of Cap- ture the Flag, one of the many kids’ games. The object is to cap- ture the enemy’s flag from his ter- ritory and return it to yours, while keeping the enemy from doing the same to you. Only this time it is not played in a backyard. Try a 20-acre field instead. The Louisiana Survival Game is operated by Neal and Gary Heath in West Monroe. The field lies just off Highway 80 on Avant Road. The game now is much more sensationalistic than it was then. Grown ups, are, as the name says, grown up. Thus, in most cases, possessing the money required to add to the game. Team members dress fully in camouflage fatigues and wear ev- erything from the face and eye paint to brush fixed to the helmet to help the player blend more smoothly. Instead of the usual “bang- bang” of a pointed finger, players use guns that closely resemble a live firearm. This gun when fired, shoots a small pellet that ex- plodes into a grapefruit-sized stain of fake-blood on contact. “All players are required to wear eye protection at all times. You really can’t get hurt unless your goggles are off. We have a kind of orientation before each game to stress the importance of wearing the goggles,” he said. Heath said three officials are on hand for each game.There is usually a warning for the first time a player is without goggles, but the second time results in mandatory expulsion for that game.

According to Heath, his fame field has even seen former war veterans. “But I found that they weren’t any better. It’s not about war. You just capture the flag,” he said. Many people came in groups from their occupation, but there is no way to pinpoint a single pro- fession that might excel at the game. In the north, many profession- als enjoy the idea of their workers battling it out in the Survival Game. Many employers have come to the opinion that the employee who vents his frustrations in the game on the weekend, is one that is much more productive Monday through Friday. What other way can you find to release the aggressions built up by a simple week on the job? And, aggression is a key to the game. “You really have to be aggres- sive. If you’re not aggressive, you get nothing out of it,” Heath said. “We've had some people come in here and pay their money and never shoot their gun. They just stay hid, and then come out all wide-eyed.” Teams are allowed to play as many games as they can within their two-hour period. Heath would have to be consid- ered an expert in the game. He estimates that he has competed in about 400 games since he began playing last November. Heath said the game was one you really cannot describe. You have to experience it. “Your blood gets pumping, and your adrenalin gets flowing ... ” The Survival Game is Cow- boys and Indians on a scale that was never dreamed in pre-puber- ty.

But no one, especially the op- timists, thought the Indians would be 1-4 after their five pre- conference games. The Indians opened on the road at Southern Miss, where USM quarterback Andrew An- derson used his speed and agil- ity to lead the option-minded Eagles to a 29-18 win. Quarterback Stan Humph- ries, in his first-ever collegiate start, threw for 378 yards on 24 completions. He passed to Benny Mitchell and Chad Pe- terson for the Tribe’s only touchdowns. Northeast rallied to cut the Eagle lead to two, and was driv- | ing for the go-ahead points, when an interception ended the Indian quarterback Walter Phythian makes a hand-off to running back Tom- my Minvielle during the Nicholls State game.

The offense moved the ball all over the field, but could not punch it into the endzone. USL held a four-point advan- tage at the half, and the Indians could get no closer, as the Ca- juns held on for a 24-20 win. The loss sent the Indians to 0-2 on the young season.

Northeast had caught a lull in the second half, and that con- cerned Collins. “Offensively we did not play that well,” he said. “We had a lack of intensity, especially in the line with some exceptions.” The Indians went down to Thibodaux with hopes of build- ing on the win over Southwest Texas. But one big barrier stood in the way — unbeaten and third- ranked Nicholls State. As in their last road game, the Indians found themselves in a come-from-behind position.

The In- dians outgained the Colonels in every statistical category but the one that counts — the score. The loss to Nicholls proved even more costly, when it was learned that Humphries had suffered a strained rib cartilage and would miss the next two games. That meant Phythian would get the first start of his career against Northwestern.

It was not an easy one, though. Lamar came to Monroe with a 12-game losing streak and looked as though they might end it against Northeast. The Cardinals jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, and Indians’ fans started raising eyebrows. Finally, the Indians settled down. They shut out Lamar the remaining three quarters, and. the offense scored just enough points to win — 22. The win, however, was never certain until the clock read 0:00. With time running out and Lamar driving in, it was a brand new, little known rule that proved to be the Indians’ saving grace. The new rule states that the defensive team has the option of when to start the clock after a delay of game penalty. The clock can be started after the ball is spotted, or after it is snapped. No one, including the Indi- ans, knew what was going on. The Cardinals had driven to the Northeast three, with three sec- onds remaining in the game. La- mar had a timeout left, but chose not to use it. After the Cardinals took a delay of game penalty, the ref- erees asked Northeast defen- sive captain Roger Kelley if he wanted them to start the clock. 96 Football Kelley’s response gave the In- dians their first Southland Con- ference win, as the Cardinals stayed on the field crying in dis- belief. That single series of events may have done more for turning around the Indians than any- thing else. The following week, the Indi- ans traveled to Lake Charles and completely dominated McNeese. Humphries returned to his season-opening form, as the In- dians led 21-3 at the half. Chris Jones caught three passes for 62 yards, and Tommy Minvielle added 77 yards on 17 tries to lead the onslaught. After an open date, it was homecoming at Malone Stadi- um. A lull was evident, but the Indians took advantage of seven Stephen F. Austin turnovers for a 28-7 win. Sophomore Charlie Andrews caught the first touchdown pass of his career and also threw one on a fake field goal. For the first time this year, the Indians were at .500. Their record was 4-4. The team was rolling, and it was time for La. Tech to come to town. The Northeast defense sty- mied the Bulldog offense. Tech totaled 13 yards rushing and 147 passing. The Indian de- fense sacked Tech quarterbacks Bob Garrett and Conroy Hines nine times, blocked three passes and rushed countless others. For the first time in the year, the Indians were over .500 at 5- 4. But the winning record was short-lived, as what has come to be known as the “November Syndrome” struck.

Students their own four seasons ago their attendance also ballooned, at the same time, men’s atten- dance dipped. “It stretches the fans out a little,” Hollis admitted. “North- east is one of only two schools (the other being Louisiana Tech) in the country who have any major attendance at wom- en’s games.” Thus, between the men’s and women’s teams there have been as many as 28 home dates dur- ing a season. Hollis also admitted that many people simply cannot af- ford to make the home games of both the women and the men. “It’s very difficult for people to attend all of the events,” Hol- lis said. “Some people just have to choose whether they want to come to the men’s games or the women’s games. NLU had some 13 home dates for the men and 12 for the women during the 1987 season. Season tickets at NLU were $44 and $54 for the men and $37 and $46 for the women. Hollis also said he was con- : cerned about the lack of student at NLU pay no admission charges. “We have had trouble with our students here,” Hollis said. “We did a survey and they said they didn’t know when the games were.” The NLU director said the students also indicated “there were too many games and they conflicted with other activi- tessa He also said the number of sporting events on television hurt the basketball crowds. “There is so much basketball on television,” Hollis said. “If you had cable TV last Saturday, you could have watched 16 col- lege basketball games.” “That ccupled with all the other home entertainment things like VCR’s and movie rentals has hurt us some.” Finally, Hollis said it might help if the programs could bring in “more quality, well-known, opponents.” However, NLU tried that by bringing in Top 20-ranked Ala- bama, and drew only 2,300. The reasons for attendance problems are easier to find than solutions. But the school is try- ing, said the athletic director. “For the students, we’re an- nouncing the games sometimes three times in the dormitories,” Hollis said. “And we’re wearing buttons on game day that say, ‘See you in Ewing Coliseum.’ ” Hollis said in a student sur- vey, “They (the students) don’t read newspapers or watch tele- vision, but they do listen to the radio. We’ll try to promote hard on the radio.” Hollis said NLU was also in- stituting a program with the fraternities and sororities. “We’re just going to have to do an aggressive job of market- ing the games,” Hollis said. “That means a lot of ticket give aways and promotions.” Hollis said he will keep trying to solve the problem until one day, perhaps, they’ll hit on the right solution. Until then, the echoes are growing in NLU’s Ewing Coli- seum. —Greg Hilburn News Star World NLU men’s basketball Average home attendance wn sake N w Finding a good seat is no problem.

Sports 101 The volleyball team enjoyed a winning season in 1985 as the squad closed with a 30-25 re- cord. The team posted its sec- ond consecutive winning season under the direction of Head Coach Rosemary Holloway. Senior JaNel Edwards led the Indians during the season with 451 kills, 118 block solos and 21 assists. She was also an All-Southland Conference se- lection and made the all-tourna- ment team. Other Lady Indians who played a vital part in the season included JaNel’s younger sister Lynn Edwards and Angie Ro- drigue. Lynn recorded 244 kills for the season, 64 block solos and 16 assists. Rodrigue recorded 21 blocked shots and 72 kills. The Lady Indians’ schedule included well-known and pow- erful opponents from universi- ties such as Georgia, Oral Rob- erts, Mississippi, Louisiana State and Oklahoma. During the NLU Classic held in Brown Gymnasium, Coach Holloway gives the team a few pointers before they play their next game against USM. The Lady Indians placed third in the South- land Conference with an overall record of 27-23. 102 Volleyball Along with the tough sched- ule, the team was faced with other problems. “We hadn’t been playing with enough mental toughness,” said Holloway. “We needed to get tough mentally and come into the matches expecting to get ahead and quit worrying about falling behind.” The high point of the season occurred during the NLU Clas- 3ic tournament when the Ladies won the championship. In the tournament, the Tribe blanked Centenary 15-0, 15-0, 15-0 in the first round. In the Southland Conference Volleyball finals hosted by Tex- as Arlington on November 22- 23, 1985, the Indians defeated Southwestern Louisiana 15-10, 15-11 and 15-12 in the first round.

UTA went on to capture the championship from Lamar, but JaNel Edwards was selected to play on the all-tournament team in the conference match. The Lady Indians walked away with a third-place finish in the Southland Conference. “The attitude of the girls will be enough to take us to the heights we need to go,” said Coach Holloway of her 1986 squad.

The Lady Indians, also 17th, were the only state women’s club to be ranked. In the four meets, the men boasted a 30-9 record with first place finishes in the Southern Mississippi Invitational and the Blazer Invitational in Birming- ham Alabama, hosted by UAB. The ladies were 26-5 with a first place finish at the Tech In- vitational in September.

Billy Heckford Sports 105 Intramural Activities Student competition undaunted by budget cuts Although the Intramural De- partment was not immune to budget cuts, it was not damaged as severly as some departments. According to Director, Ca- mile Currier, additional pro- grams in the future will most likely not be instituted due to the lack of money to pay addi- tional student officials and workers who would be needed. “Students run the program,” said Currier, “but with all the budget cuts we have exper- ienced, we have had to reduce the number of hours our stu- dents can work.” All previous sports and re- creational activities, however, were not seriously affected by the cuts since the department had been prepared for the ensu- ing loss of funds. “Despite the cuts, we still of- fer a comprehensive program that all students can participate in regardless of their level of skill or athletic ability,” said Currier. “This is why we are calling the events ‘intramural activities’ instead of ‘intramu- 106 Intramurals 999 ral sports’. Additions to the list of activi- ties were made over a period of several semesters just prior to the cuts. However, some adjust- ments were necessary in an ef- fort to continue providing a good intramural program. The advent of new activities during the years before the bud- get cuts, which actually re- quired fewer student workers, helped provide a strong intra- mural program for an uncertain future. The activities that were phased in included Trivial Pur- suit, Pool (8-ball), Horseshoes, Skish (bait casting), Putt-Putt Golf and Frisbee Golf. The new events helped in- volve many students who other- wise may not have had a chance to participate if the program had been restricted to only the most popular sports because of Louisiana’s financial crisis. —Clyde Dearman Weightlifter Alvin Pitts grimaces as he lowers his deadlift burden during an intramural powerlifting event.

Founded in 1972, the NLU Rodeo Club offers students an opportunity to share an interest in rodeo and to gain practical experience and knowledge about the animal science indus- try. Students whose majors range from animal science to pharma- cy take advantage of the club’s benefits. These benefits include riding in parades, going on trail rides, hearing guest speakers and at- tending seminars with people such as jockeys and vets. Stu- dents also gain practical experi- ence by helping out at Layton Farm. The organization was re- zoned from the Ozark region to the Southern region in the NIRA (National Inter-colle- giate Rodeo Association). Skip Johnson udents work hard to improve organization Re-zoning enabled the club to travel and participate in more rodeos and give students a chance at competing. The Southern region rodeos are closer than the Ozark region which could be as far as 800 miles away. The club was not financially able to travel that far. Because the sport is relative- ly expensive in terms of travel, the group raises funds through horse shows and play days. Besides re-zoning, their aim was to get students interested in the club through recognition. “T think it can be something good. It can work with a lot of hard hours,” said Chad Higgin- botham, vice-president of the club. Students do not have to ac- tively participate in rodeo to be a part of the NLU Rodeo Club.

Forty-one games without a loss. The Southland Conference stands 0 — for women’s sports history against Northeast Louisiana University in women’s basketball. Since the inception of the Southland Women’s Confer- ence in 1982-83, the Lady Indi- ans have dominated the other six members. Linda Harper, Inc., held a monopoly. Make that a capital “M”: a monopoly. From MLK Boulevard in Beaumont, Texas., to Reinhardt Drive in La- fayette, La., it all belonged to the Lady Indians. From Collins Drive in Arling- ton, Texas, to Marshall Avénue in Jonesboro, Ark., Northeast had teepee hotels on each piece of Southland Conference prop- erty, and charging double rent to anyone who landed on North- east Drive at the Hotel Ewing. But every game has an end- ing, and this first round of Mo- nopoly ended in 1986. The loss of three undergrad- 114 Women’s Basketball Roll the Dice _ Lady Indians Back at Square One uates plus the NCAA declara- tion of ineligibility of Chana Perry and graduation of four outstanding seniors: starter Jo- celyn Hill, All-SLC academic Treasure Thomas and All- Americans Eun Jung Lee and Lisa Ingram — almost bank- rupt the Lady Indians’ bench. The Northeast shoe was back at GO. It was a whole new game for 1986-87. Roll the dice. With only four returning let- terwinners and one full-time starter, that was the strategy for the Lady Indians. “You can’t lose what we lost and not be in a major rebuilding year,’ Head Coach Linda Harper said. “We lost three players who have been four-year starters, and then we also lost three sub- stitutes. That takes quite a bit to replace. You can’t do it in- stantly.” Facing a total overhaul, the coaching staff planned changes from top to bottom. In the past Lady Indian Lisa Ingram takes control of the ball as Northwestern State Lady Demons try to regain possesion. three seasons, “every position is open” was little more than a coach’s motivational tool. In 1986, it was a statement of fact. “There are five positions on the floor, and now, those five po- sitions are wide open,” Harper said. “We are looking for some- body who will step up and show us that they are ready to play that position. “In the past, we had domi- nant players in certain posi- tions,’ Harper continued. “Now we’re looking for players that can blend into a new team, creating their own identity as players, and their own identity as a team.” The Lady Indians were blessed with the presence of In- gram or Perry inside, and Lee outside. In a way, it was also a curse as the two or three other players on the floor blended into the back- ground of opponent’s players for the all-American showcase. Balance was the buzz-word around Ewing Coliseum. Richard Lupo With an out-stretched arm, Chana Per- ry reaches for control of the ball during the first game of the season with the Korean Kolon team.

We’ve got to try to cre- ate more running opportunities. We must be more running con- scious.” “We don’t have big players. What we’ve got is a whole bunch of quick, scrappy players who play with a lot of guts and determination.” Indeed the Lady Indians have a bountiful crop of guards and guard forwards. Leading the pack was veteran guard Chrissa Hailey along with soph- omore transfer Veronica Rid- gell. Hailey, a three-year starter, averaged 8.6 points per game last season for the Lady Indians as the number 2 player in the NLU offense. Ridgell, one of the top ball handlers of the New Indians, had one year of colle- giate experience, and was fa- vored at the start of practice to be point guard.

The other six, includ- ing Ridgell, were newcomers. “That’s our greatest chal- lenge, Harper said. “The first weeks of practice will be devot- ed to fundamentals.

Sports 117 Roll the Dice Continued Freshman signee Brenda Spicer, senior transfer Jerene Anderson and junior college transfer Lorrie Guimbellot had high school experience at point guard. High school walk-on Lavette Loyd possessed a strong outside shot, and outstanding rebound- ing ability for a small player. Ju- nior college transfer Stacey Pel- legrin was similar to Loyd, a guard forward type player. “It’s hard to project who will be where,” Harper said. “I do believe that if we look at just experience, that puts Hailey, Woodfin, Saulsberry and Tillis ahead. “Ridgell has one year of ex- perience in Division I, and that’s a plus. Behind them in ex- perience were some of the quickest players on the team.” So the old saw rings true for the Lady Indians: “You can’t tell the players without a score- card.” In this case, at least not where they may line up in the fall. “We're looking at numerous adjustments,” Harper said. “We won’t know who’ll be Eight-year veteran head coach Linda Harper stares out across the court as the clock tics away the final seconds of the game with nationally-ranked Uni- versity of Texas. where, or what schemes.” There’s only one prediction Harper was confident about. “The Southland Conference is wide open this year, and we’re not the favorite by any means,” she said. “All I know about our chances is our kids will give it everything they’ve got. “We may be small, but we won't lack for guts, or desire, or determination. We will put out the effort. I think the slang lan- guage would be ‘scrappy’. “Intangibles. That’s where all our pluses are.

Sharing their victories on and off the court brings the women closer together. These obstacles include diffi- cult training hours, many hours on the road and few number of athletes. The women spend many hours together through prac- tice, study hall, traveling and playing together. “The travel definitely brings us closer together,” said Jane Holcomb, of the volleyball team. “You learn more about people through sharing rooms and spending so much time to- gether.” Many of the women play more than one sport, and the different teams go out and sup- port each other. “It is not uncommon for some of the softball team to come cheer for us at our volleyball games and vice versa,” said Hol- comb. “We all know the prob- lems of being female athletes so the support is a definite plus in our lives.” Mary Cay Jermann, of the swim team, said, “We train so much together. Putting up with the same pain makes us closer than sisters.” “I even like the people I hate on the team better than my non- swimmer friends because of all the stuff we go through togeth- er,” said Jermann. Holcomb said, “When one person’s down, everyone is there to pick her up. A big pat on the back can do wonders for mo- rale.” “I think the fewer number is one of the factors which brings us closer together.” —Paula Bourgeois ady Indians after ledication to the 4 ts 121 st Richard Lupo - “ = pases ie ere, SS ——— ee § alae ie —!

The Indians won the South- land Conference Tournament ‘ith a 20-10 record which led aem on to the NCAA making i. their second time within five ‘ears to go to the playoffs. According to Coach Mike Vining, the players listed four yoals for the year before the eason opened. _ They reached three of those toals, taking the Southland 'shampionship, winning 20 _yames and gaining an NCAA oid. The fourth goal was win- j ling at least one NCAA playoff | zame. ||| However, when the Indians net nationally ranked Nevada- i Las Vegas in the first round of | the tournament, it was an upset- | ting defeat for the Indians. ‘|’ When the defending South- _| land Conference champions be- gan their 1986-87 season, it was ja completely new ball game. | None of the five starters who I : | | on Ws Starting Over had taken NLU to the champi- onship were in uniform when the Indians opened against Ala- bama due to the fact that four out of the five had completed their eligibility. One returning starter, Sean Paulfrey, was not eligible for the first six games due to aca- demic problems. Coach Vining faced the larg- est rebuilding job of his career. Available players included Michael Saulsberry, a 6-8 cen- ter who missed all but the first game last season with a torn Achilles tendon, along with 1986 lettermen Brian Spencer (6-1) and Morris Spencer (6-5), both of whom were the team’s top substitutes in the previous season, and 6-1 senior guard Randy Vining. Two players who were red- shirted last season, sophomore Kevin Toms (6-6) and freshman Jeff Byrd (6-9), became avail- able, also. The remainder of the 17-man squad was composed of three Sheila King freshmen, Phillip Craig (6-9), twins Victor (6-7) and Vincent Lee (6-7); three junior college transfers, Eddie Holifield (6-1), Derrick Pollard (6-1) and Mi- chael Wilson (5-11); and four senior college transfers, Kelvin Collins (6-3), Myron Lilley (6- 4), Grant Westerchil (6-4) and Paul McKinley (5-11). All the new people meant the Indians had plenty of getting acquainted to do. “I think the talent is there,” said Coach Vining, “but they’ve got to get used to playing to- gether and learning how to rec- ognize and react to situations.” “It is going to be tough, espe- cially in the conference since everybody else has so many starters returning. But we’ve got some good players.” Although there were not many returning players, Vining did have stability on the coach- ing staff with Jesse Burnette (5 years) returning as chief assis- tant, Tom Schuberth (3 years) as the junior assistant and Keith An afternoon practice for Michael Saulsberry consists of working on de- fensive and offensive plays; he is coached by Coach Vining. Saulsberry, an outstanding player, not only had to recover from a snapped Achilles ten- don from last season, but also from an injury to his shooting hand at the be- ginning of this season. Loss of Key Players Leads to a Season of Rebuilding Richard (2 years) as the part- time aide. While admitting the team would miss the four seniors who led them to the title last year, Vining did not see the 1986-87 outlook as bleak. “We are very young as far as experience is concerned, and we will have to mature quickly,” said Vining. “Coming together as a team, along with patience are going to be key factors in our success as a team.” Besides new members, there is the new three point basket for the team to adjust to. “I really don’t know what to expect, but I don’t see it affect- ing us right now,” said Coach Vining. “On offense, we may try to do something to get a three- point shot, but basically we are still going to try to work the ball inside for the good percentage shot.” —Michelle Kohn Richard Lupo A quick maneuver is executed by Ran- dy Vining in an attempt to pass the ball during the game against the Spirit Ex- press.

However, Ouachita National Bank has changed that. ONB is in its second year of providing financial assistance to deserving athletes who com- plete their playing days before they complete their schooling days. In the fall semester of 1985, a scholarship fund was estab- lished. Assistant Sports Infor- mation Director Bill Smith said Northeast is a sort of a pioneer in this type of financial assis- tance. “Only several other schools are doing this now. We are very fortunate to have ONB help us help our athletes,” said Smith. ONB contributes $100 for every touchdown the Indians score in Malone Stadium.

The competitor takes a deep breath as he slowly gazes over the field of contestants prepar- ing for the competition. The competition is about to begin. The desire for excellence causes Ron Guidry, accounting junior, to compete in athletics. “The rivalry between the dif- ferent groups is an intense one,” said Guidry. “We want to battle it out on the playing field.” Church, dorm and greek groups compete in intramurals such as flag football, basket- ball, softball, skish and many others. Camile Currier, director of intramurals, said “These games provide a time for students to shine in their special area.” “The competition gets every- one out of the dorms,” said Cur- rier. “The games provide an out- let for the student’s frustra- tions.” The competitive spirit and the excitement of the competi- tion compel Tana Warren to work harder to be number one. “Competition builds charac- ter,” said Warren, pharmacy sophomore. “These rivalries help you learn to accept defeat and rejoice in victory.” Recognition for a job well done does not always happen in athletics. “Glory does not always come in athletics,” said Jim Dantin, general studies senior. “I com- pete for the satisfaction of knowing I did my best.” “Competition leads us to work harder to achieve excel- lence,” said Warren —Paula Bourgeois 138 Competition Students excel in special areas Catherine Cordry A friendly volleyball game brings out! the competition between Phil Dixon,’ Steve McAllister, DeWayne Trichell’ and Kevin Joseph. || : a A sweep to the right helps Bob French escape from his defenders. ; Peter Bradley Playing tennis helps Carmen Alvarezto Practice helps the AOPi sisters work relieve tension and forget her busy better as a team to achieve a victory. schedule. Richard Lupo Sports 139 The Lady Indians softball team’s season — like a roller coaster — was marked by ups and downs. When the season had rolled to a halt, however, the Indians had captured their second consecutive Southland Con- ference Tournament Champi- onship, becoming the first and only SLC team to do so. “I was very elated that we won back-to-back conference championships,” said Coach Rosemary Holloway. “I think they’re (the team) going to re- member this victory more than any other team in NLU history. Even though they were the underdogs, they nev- er thought about losing. They were that determined to de- fend their championship.” Seeded number six out of the seven at the SLC tourna- ment, the team’s final upset victory over number-one-seed- ed University of Southwestern Louisiana by a score of 2-1 in the championship final came as a surprise to everyone, ex- cept the team. “We knew we could play well at any given time,” Holloway said. “I think some teams probably were looking past us, but we never gave up.” Early in the season, howev- er, the team’s spirit was chal- lenged. After losing a season- opening double header to Creighton University, the team lost two more before fi- nally gaining a victory over Lamar by a score of 12-5. In fact, at one point in their season, the team was on a 13 game losing streak, hardly a statistic to be proud of. The Lady Indians came back to prove they were wor- thy of their Championship 1985 season, also won under the guidance of Holloway. “I felt like we started out strong, but just didn’t have the depth we needed in pitching,” Holloway said. “We were real- ly ina slump win-lose wise, but 140 Feature we were able to regroup and come back a bit.” The team finished the year with a season record of 17-36 (Home 3-15, Road 14-21) and an SLC record of 7-10. According to Holloway, one key reason for the team’s los- ing record was the fact that though the team had eight re- turning players from the 1985 season, only two (pitcher Wi- lanne Stewart and center Mi- shelle Spanos) played the same position. Another factor in the Indians’ record was the tough schedule they faced. “During the season, we beat two top 20 ranked teams,” Holloway said. “We had a tough schedule, but you have to make it tough for yourself if you’re going to improve the program.” The team played nine of the nation’s top 20 teams during the season. Holloway cites the loss of Stewart, a record- breaking senior pitcher from Baton Rouge, to injury for key games in the season as another reason for the losing record. Stewart’s value to the team was seen most clearly when she won three of the four games she pitched at the SLC tournament. (Clara Arnold pitched the championship game.) Earlier in the season, Stew- art combined with Arnold for a perfect no-hitter against Ar- kansas State University. Although it was Holloway’s first losing season as a softball coach, she thought there were some positive aspects to it, particularly the hustle and winning attitude displayed by the team even when they were down. Offensively, senior Shelly Monroe, after a disappointing Pitcher Wilanne Stewart grimaces as she winds up and prepares to throw the ball over the plate. Stewart pitched in 45 percent of the Lady In- dians’ softball games during the spring season. 1985 SLC tournament, led the team in earned run average (.262), slugging (.319) and runs batted in (27). In fielding percentage, she was second only to Stewart (.975). The only player to hit a home run over the fence at the SLC tournament, Monroe was also named most valuable player of the tournament and was named to the all-confer- ence team. Additionally, Monroe be- came the first person in NLU softball history to be named to the NCAA South All-Region team where she was chosen as second team first baseman. (At NLU, she combined at the first base and catcher spots.) Other NLU players making the all-tournament and all- conference teams were sopho- more April Thompson at third base, Stewart at pitcher and junior Dawn Pederson at catcher. Holloway said other key players on the team were sec- ond baseman Louise Bellon Underdogs Softball team upsets top seed and shortstop Allison Nevils, both seniors. The two com- bined for a total of 17 double plays and though offensively, neither hit above a .200 ERA, Holloway said their leadership was a key factor in the cham- pionship-bearing season. “Alli moved over to short from second base, where she had made all-conference team in previous years, because she knew that was what was best for the team,” Holloway said. “She and Louise did what- ever had to be done because of their love for the game. They’re going to be tough to replace.” Bellon was also the team’s lead-off hitter. Holloway said that while she would have liked the team to have had a better win-lose record, she was satisfied with the SLC Championship.

All curriculums in- clude a minimum of two credits in health and physical educa- tion. “A healthy lifestyle is very important in today’s world,” said Dr. Billy Daniel, head of the health and physical educa- tion department. “The Department of Health and Physical Education is keep- ing up in the physical education field with an emphasis on the studying of exercise and the body.” “However, physical activity not only includes exercise, but also proper diet and a good mental attitude,” said Daniel. “The health and physical education department realizes this and is working to develop health research and classes in good health for students and the community.” Daniel said the recent dona- tions of equipment from North Monroe Community Hospital and Poly Processing Co., Inc. Exercise is an important activity need- ed to keep the body in good physical condition. Amy Clark stretches out be- fore her work-out. 144 Health have enabled the department “to concentrate on wellness re- search, or the promotion of wellness. “We plan to concentrate our research in the area of exercise physiology,” he explained. “With these recent donations of thousands of dollars of equip- ment to the health and physical e ducation department, gradu- ate students will plan a wellness program to fit an individual’s personal needs and also learn the proper administration of a fitness test using the equip- ment.” “Students, faculty and volun- teers within the community who are interested in good health are being recruited for this research,’’ Daniel ex- plained. Students take a person through the full program by do- ing a complete physical work- up, which includes measuring body density to determine the amount of lean body mass, mea- suring the strength of vital or- gans, reading the condition of Fad the pulmonary system and then completing a nutritional work- up on that person. Over a period of time the con- sumption of food is monitored to determine if the person has a. healthy diet, is getting the es- sential vitamins and minerals or is consuming too many calories. All of this information is put into a computer along with the age, height, weight, sex, body build and metabolic needs of the person. “The computer will then de- termine a diet and exercise pro- gram for the individual,” Dan- iel said. “The student makes sure the program is followed and reevaluates the person after a period of time.” In addition to graduate stu- dents, faculty are also involved in the research. Dr. Luke Thomas, associate professor of health and physical education, and Dr. Antti Maran, North Monroe Commu- nity Hospital’s chief of staff and pulmonary specialist, are cur- rently developing a research project involving the diet of pully monary patients with chronj obstructive lung disease.

However, the year was mixed with disappointments as well as accomplishments. “It was a trying year. Our pitchers had some trouble, but we were pretty good,” said Coach Lou St. Amant. Posting a 25-22 season re- cord, the Indians finished a dis- appointing sixth place in the Southland Conference. However, they finished first in the number of school and Southland Conference records re-written in 1986. Seniors Joe Sims and Jeff Schexnaider along with Junior Terry Mathews accounted for five new individual game re- cords and four individual sea- son hitting records. The 1981 season was the last time the team had the kind of power displayed by the Tribe during this season. Most of the power records broken were es- tablished by members of the 81 squad, the majority belong- ing to Frank Scelfo.

Sims also broke Scelfo’s sin- gle game RBI and total bases marks, as well as runs scored record with his nine RBI, 12 base, five run performance against Mississippi College. The 28-5 defeat of Mississip- pi College in early March was the high point of the Indians’ season. NLU broke, tied or es- tablished 25 school conference and national records in the game. Highlights of the game were: most hits, 32; most runs, 28 and RBI, 25; for NLU and the conference records, as well as the collegiate national mark for most runs scored in the eighth inning, 12. The Indians tied another conference record, most home runs, with seven against Ste- phen F Austin. At the start of conference play, the Indians were averaging over eight runs ied oe Le a game and batting .342 as a team. However, the SLC showed the Tribe’s weakness, pitching, and they began to decline. Through the first weeks of April, the Indian’s strength failed as the team batting aver- age fell to .284 in four weeks. As the end of the season ap- proached, the Indians went two games below .500, 19-21. With one conference series left against Arkansas State and former national contender Uni- versity of New Orleans coming to Monroe for the season fina- le, it appeared the Indians would have their first losing season in four years. NLU had a rebirth at the plate, led by second baseman Schexnaider, as more hitting records began to be broken. Mathews took the season re- cord for RBI with his 45th against Arkansas State, and closed the season seven shy of Scelfo’s career mark of 117 after three seasons with the In- dians. Schexnaider hit three dou- bles in five-for-six batting to tie the Northeast marks for most doubles and hits pacing the In- dians to an 8-7 upset of UNO.

Sports 149 Successful Soccer Program — Budget Cut The Ultimate Downfall Northeast athletics earned a reputation for success in the ’80s, and one sport that contrib- uted greatly to that success was soccer. But the budget crisis, which forced major cutbacks in both athletics and academics at all of the state’s colleges, was the ulti- mate downfall of the Indian soc- cer program said Coach Jim Kane. NLU Athletic Director Benny Hollis said all soccer players on scholarship would be able to retain their financial aid, but most players chose to transfer to another university when the team was eliminated last March. “With the financial condition of the university so bleak and the outlook so unpromising, we are having to review every pro- gram and eliminate those ac- tivities that are not essential,” President Dwight Vines said. “The soccer program has been very successful. It has ac- complished more goals that we had in mind for it when we start- ed the sport.” In five years of competition, Coach Kane and his teams com- plied a record of 68-44-8. The Indian Soccer Coach Jim Kane explains some of the finer points of playing the game to Steve Herdecker and Selvyn Brown during a home game against Western Kentucky.

The Indians were ranked in the midwestern region’s top 10 for five years in a row. Kane was the Trans-America Conference “Coach of the Year” in 1980 and led his team to the conference championship the following season. It was reported that Kane ac- cepted a coaching position at a high school in Florida. Vines said, “Soccer is the sec- ond total program to be elimi- nated, but we have made severe cuts in all of our programs both academic and athletic. Until the financial situation im- proves, we will have to make further cuts.” “We have been fortunate in the athletic area to be able to operate some programs with private funds this spring, but we cannot expect to do that on a continuing, long range basis,” said Vines. —Parrish Alford During a home game against Rhodes College, Frode Willumsen dribbles the ball away from his opponent.

It is for people who appreciate and en- joy bicycling,” said Fricker. Members worked hard to build and improve their club as well as to promote public awareness of cycling. To reach the public, the club sponsored workshops such as General Bike Maintenance and riding clinics. “Cycling is a better form of exercising than most people re- alize. It is a lot easier on you than running,” said President Tim Howard, a charter mem- ber. “Getting in shape and feeling good about yourself is one of our objectives.” Coach John Pittington, advis- er, said, “We are trying to offer something everybody can enjoy such as touring, fitness, and Cycling can physically test even the most fit.

Billy Heckford Sports 159 SPE ee ee EERE The Aim of Karate The perfection of character “The aim of karate is not win- ning or losing but perfecting the character of its participants,” said Bob Allen, NLU Karate Team instructor. To seek perfection of charac- ter is only one goal. To be faith- ful, to endeavor, to respect oth- ers and to refrain from violent behavior are other precepts taught by traditional karate. Traditional Shotokan Karate- Do is the style practiced by the karate team. “Karate” means empty hand, and “Do” means the way or the path. “Karate is something you do for a very long period of time,” said Allen. “The white uniform means emptiness — you can al- ways receive something more.” Lori Duffey said, “It’s a good way of self-discipline. In com- petition you are striving more against yourself than against someone else.” Self-discipline was one of the key factors contributing to the team’s success at the Interna- tional Shotokan Karate Feder- ation National Collegiate A successful sweep by Mike Pace de- stroys the balance of his opponent Cliff Haydel. 160 Karate Championship. Duffey won first place in women’s intermediate kata (forms), and Ricky Chan took first place in men’s intermedi- ate kata. They were the seventh and eighth national champions to come from the NLU team. Francis Tan came in second, and Yaw Woon placed third in men’s intermediate kata. Chan also won second place in intermediate kumite (fight- ing), with Mark Bragg in third. Some of the expenses from the tournament and equipment were defrayed by a new founda- tion arranged through the Alumni Association. With the foundation, it was possible for the public to make donations directly into a fund specifically for the team. The karate team consisted of nine members with Margrit Loomis as faculty adviser.

Delta Sigma Pi helps stu- dents to understand the culture and the civic and commercial welfare of the business commu- _ nity. It also helps students learn the basic concepts of business management. “The fraternity is here to en- courage scholarship, social ac- tivity and the association of stu- dents for their mutual advance- ment by research and practice,” said Dr. Robert Martin, faculty adviser, President Scott Long, ac- counting senior, said, “It (the fraternity) is a learning experi- ence. There is a diverse group of people, and we learn how to in- Peter Bradley teract among them.” To facilitate the learning pro- cess, meetings were held almost every week, where speakers from Monroe’s business com- munity addressed the members. Tours of local businesses were also made possible. To understand the civic wel- fare of the community, the stu- dents carried out a number of service projects. These included collecting food for donation baskets, and a volleyball tournament in No- vember where proceeds went to the Ouachita Humane Society. In the spring, the seven year sponsorship of the Information Systems Exposition was ended. It was an event where compa- nies displayed business systems and techniques. “It had outlived its useful- ness,” said Martin. —Tan zeem Hussain and Su-lin Gan Delta Sigma Pi pledge, Vince An- derson, donates valuable weekend time to help raise funds for the pro- fessional business fraternity through a car wash held in Novem- ber.

Business 167 Even though KNLU oper- ated on a budget of only $42,000, the station finally had to do something about its 13-year-old equipment. In spite of KNLU’s $10,000 deficit in 1985, the station moved from its cramped offices in Brown Hall to spacious rooms in Stubbs Hall in May 1986. During the move to Stubbs Hall, KNLU went off the air for the first time in more than a year. “We didn’t want to but we had to because the equip- ment had to be disconnected for the move,” said Joel Will- er, faculty supervisor. The station was off the air from May 13 to June 9, 1986. The new location provided ample room for three stu- dios, an announcing booth, a newsroom and a large office. The cost of equipment necessary to operate the larg- er station almost depleted KNLU’s budget for the fis- cal year. One studio. alone, equipped with new turnta- bles, four-track recorder, and audio mixing board has been called the $16,000 facility. Existing equipment had to be repaired because finan- cial constraints prevented KNLU from equipping all its studios with new equip- ment. However, some equipment was donated by local radio and television station, KNOE. The donation made it pos- sible for KNLU to change from relaying signals to the transmitter by telephone line to microwave. The change allowed for transmission of better qual- ity signals. Also, Willer an- ticipated annual savings of more than $3,000 in tele- phone charges. The new location and new equipment have had a posi- tive effect on the staff of KNLU. “We have a better attitude as far as working at the sta- tion goes,’ said Todd Chambless, one of the DJ’s. At KNLU, professional- ism is constantly empha- sized. Not being “Top 40” ra- dio, KNLU does not play songs on the commercial charts. “KNLU supplies the miss- ing link to Monroe — sup- plies Monroe with jazz, clas- sical, oldies and everything else,” said Mason Granade, music director. —Su-lin Gan Operating an audio console may seem difficult, but Darren Chisnell shows it really is quite simple.

I chose photography.” Shelia King, art senior, was a disc jockey at KJ100 and also did artwork for the Pow Wow. King began photography as a hobby when she was in the eighth grade. She bought her first camera with her own mon- ey and never realized it would lead to an actual job. Catherine Cordry, medical technology junior, also served on the Union Board. Her involvement on the UB included a term as Public Rela- tions Chairman and the co-ordi- nation of Spring Fever activi- ties.

He worked as a photographer for the intramu- ral department. Johnson ran his own on-cam- pus portrait business and also took wedding pictures for friends. Juggling academics and var- ious jobs would have daunted most.

Campus Communications 171 cone rite cumetanh AS ETI, — OW WOW It’s A Winner Time and effort were the contributing factors to the Pow Wow’s gaining national recognition. The 1986 spring edition of the Pow Wow was rated a Five-Star college paper by the Associated Collegiate Press. This was the fifth Five-Star for the Pow Wow and the third consecutive. Working for an award win- ning paper had its advan- tages. Awards showed that the Pow Wow was more than just an average college pa- per. “When you know that oth- er college newspapers are reading your paper and pos- sibly looking up to it, it’s a good feeling. It not only rec- ognizes the paper but the city, too,” said Managing Editor, Stacy V. Sullivan, news-editorial senior. Sullivan began his job in June to fill his spare time as a summer reporter, but was of- fered a position in the fall as managing editor. His goal for the 1987 Pow Wow was to maintain and possibly sur- pass the quality of the 1986 Pow Wow. To receive a Five-Star, a paper must receive Marks of Distinction in all of the judg- ing categories: coverage and content, writing and editing, opinion content, design, pho- tography, art and graphics. “Some judges can demor- alize you. They can rate you down to nothing,” said John Jones, student publications manager. Because the Pow Wow was rated Five-Star, it was eligi- ble for the regional Pace- maker award. “We’ve never gotten a Pacemaker, but it would be nice. That’s been one of our goals — to be one of the best campus papers and to re- ceive an award as prestigious as the Pacemaker,” said Edi- tor Julie Toler, public rela- tions junior. 172 Organizations Five regional Pacemakers compete in Washington, D.C. for the national Pace- maker award. The Pow Wow was moved from the Southwest region to the Southeast region. For the last four years the Pow Wow competed against the region- al Pacemaker winner, the University of Texas at Aus- tin’s daily school paper. “Theyre a large oper- ation, and the Pow Wow is not equipped to compete with a daily,” said Jones. Students receive daily news from radio, TV and the local paper. As an alternative news source, the Pow Wow offers the inside story of what is happening on-cam- pus. A new addition to Pow Wow’s coverage was the in- corporation of off campus news that affected the stu- dents, such as Louisiana’s oil revenues to be used for high- er education. Even though working for the Pow Wow was a demand- ing yet enjoyable job, one matter had higher priority: studies. Reporters had hectic schedules. News stories were written between classes, Thursdays and Fridays. In- terviews were often held on weekends. “Tve interviewed people late at night — Sunday mornings — whenever they’re available,” said staff reporter Becky Bueto, news- editorial junior. All this time and effort was not only directed toward providing the best news pos- sible and journalistic experi- ence for its reporters, but also for recognition as being the best. —Tanya Phillips Working on a last-minute dead- line, John Reid proofreads and corrects his football academic counseling article.

When someone says “Mortar oard,” most students think of ricks and cement. The board is actually an hon- or organization recognizing ex- cellence in leadership, scholar- ship and community service. _ Membership on the Board is _reserved for juniors and seniors. “Freshmen and sophomores especially don’t realize that we are here,” said President Larry Bates, pre-dentistry senior. “The board is not just a basic dormant honor society,” Bates said. “We do everything from cleaning elderly people’s houses and yards to helping the Red Cross with their skate-a-thon.” In addition to their regular _ projects, the organization began a new project, the selection of the Mortar Board Mentors and the Top Ten Outstanding Soph- omores. _ The Mentors were five teach- ers considered a great asset to NLU and were nominated by board members. The outstanding sophomores were nominated by various or- ganizations on campus and the board voted Nov. 5, 1986. Mentors and their respective colleges were: Lucy D. Shackel- ford, education; Dr. Melinda Kinkade, pure and applied sci- ence; Dr. Adel H. Karara, phar- macy; Dr. James Caldwell, business; and Patricia Fontaine, liberal arts. Outstanding sophomores for 1986 were: Christie Anderson, nursing; Missy S. Clark, public relations; Ashley Devillier, medical technology; Joseph W. Drost, accounting; Nancy L. Files, science education; Nona M. Mason, marketing; Heather Nolan, finance; Barry L. Ricks, zoology; DeAnn Strobel, math and Kimberly A.

The ASCOTA convention was just one of the 1986 activi- ties that members of the occu- pational therapy club were in- volved in. Other activities included the making of orthopedic devices such as splints and braces. As a public service, devices such as door openers and key Our Purpose is To Aid — holders were made and donated to the Northeast Louisiana chapter of the Arthritis Foun- dation. Fundraisers were organized to enable the purchase of a new computer printer and a 35mm camera. The printer was used to print club meeting minutes and for correspondence with OTC alumnae. Before the purchase of the printer, material had to be typed and then photocopied. “The camera will enable us to take photographs we can use as educational aids,” said Peter Giroux, occupational therapy senior. As part of their training, stu- dents performed various com- Richard Lupo munity services in the Monroe area. “There is a very fine distinc- tion between class and club ac- tivities,” said Lee Sens, occupa- tional therapy instructor. “Community services, such as that done at the Mary Goss Nursing Home is required class work.” OTC members did not have much time for extra activities. Being part of the occupational therapy program meant work- ing 12 hours every week in the clinic.

'‘All of us were new at this ternational Week). We ex- | ‘ienced the usual problems of ‘|experience,” said Telitha jke, International Student ‘visor. Problems included the can- lation of some events from h2 sports tournament due to cor turnout. International Week was ob- rved at NLU for the first time 1 Spring 1986. Activities lasted from April 4-13 and were coordinated pri- marily by the International Or- ganizations Council. “The celebration is one of the best things to happen on cam- pus. It is official recognition of the international students,” said James Robertson, Director of Admissions. Robertson was NLU’s first International Student Advisor, serving from Fall 1980 to Spring 1986. The sports events, which were held outside, were not limited to NLU students. “We had planned for other jecognizes international students Louisiana universities to par- ticipate but we found out they were holding their celebrations this week, too,” explained Doke. Indoor functions included a formal dinner and dance at the Holiday Inn Holidome and a so- cial dance and beer party in the Lake C. Oxford Natatorium. There was also a cultural show in Brown Auditorium with presentations from 55 coun- tries. President Dwight Vines offi- ciated at the opening ceremony held in front of the Student Union Building. In spite of the problems, Doke remained optimistic about International Week. “Anytime you can get stu- dents to work together on sucha large scale, it helps strengthen bonds,” said Doke. Doke added, “I’m proud that it’s been the success it has.” —Su-lin Gan President Vines adds his signature to the Declaration of International Week.

It’s ac- aally one of the world’s princi- erlions jonhearts away from pal finance and communication centers,” said Ray Syn, sociolo- gy freshman. Members hoped their activi- ties would increase awareness of their country. Activities planned included mini exhibitions, celebration of the Chinese New Year and ob- servance of Singapore’s nation- al day on August 9. In Spring 1986, the average GPA of the international stu- dent body was 2.8 — the high- est GPA of any one group on campus. To do their part in keeping this up, the organization em- phasized scholastic achieve- ment. Members were encour- aged to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.00. In addition, elected officers needed a GPA of at least 2.50 to remain in office. “The Singapore system of education is quite rigid. The emphasis on scholastics is just to ensure that we don’t ‘chill’ too much in the less competitive home US system,” explained Presi- dent Su-lin Gan, radio TV film management freshman. With home being more than 12,000 miles away, the Mer- lions was a way for the students to enjoy a home environment. “We’re no different from any- one else. We share the same goals of getting a higher educa- tion and of being the best that we may,” said Gan, “The Mer- lions brings us closer together.” In addition to encouraging attendance at NLU, the Mer- lions hoped to establish contact with Singaporeans on campuses across the United States. “With the NLU chapter as the first, we hope to establish The Merlions on a national lev- el. Who knows, maybe one day it will be international,” said Gan. —Elizabeth Gustwick and Tanya Phillips We're no different from anyone else — Sulin Gan Catherine Cordry Diana Bracken English instructor, Fae Dremock, advises the Merlions in addition to contributing to Beer and Bards — a monthly literary meeting spon- sored by Enoch’s.

International Students 187 Prssa New Opportunities for PR Students Formed in May 1986 and chartered in October, the Pub- lic Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) offers stu- dents the edge they need in the outside world. That edge came in the form of valuable experience from various corporate projects. The Pride Agency was formed within the organization to provide funding and the op- portunity to gain portfolio ma- terial. Most public relations gradu- ates in the past have lacked practical experience with actu- al PR projects, according to Gratz Myers, journalism in- structor and former PR practi- tioner. “In the past, PR students at NLU did not have accessibility to a group that could give them opportunities to work in the PR field before graduation,” said President Jennifer Bearden, public relations senior. The Pride Agency’s first pro- ject was the “M H Spirit”, newsletter for Malone and Hyde of Monroe. “Most beginning PR practi- tioners end up starting on pro- jects like newsletters.

The first annual Wilson scholarship was awarded to Bearden, first editor of the “M H Spirit.” “I didn’t expect it; it was cer- tainly a nice bonus,” said Bear- den. Another facet of the Pride Agency was its work for the West Monroe Chamber of Commerce. The project offered its members t he opportunity to produce a 40 page, four-color magazine which featured area tourism and industry. —Tanya Phillips The “M H Spirit” is sent to the printer completely press ready.

However, Bayou Blues Day was not just a regular festi- val. While some did not realize it was different from any other average gathering, Bayou Blues was a very important project to creators — PRSSA. “Blues on the Bayou” was the theme originated by PRSSA for an advertising and PR cam- paign competition sponsored by Levi Strauss Co. for Levi’s 501’s. In mid October NLU’s PRSSA, the newest chapter in the country, submitted a pro- posal to Golin and Harris of Chicago, public relations de- partment for Levi’s, and was chosen as one of the top 25 win- ners nation-wide. “This was a bit overly ambi- tious for a new chapter to at- tempt something of such mag- nitude. New organizations do not do things like this until Tanya Phillips they've been around awhile,” said adviser Gratz Myers. Members chose “Blues on the Bayou” as a natural decision after brain-storming for a local- ized theme that students could identify with. “Most college campuses don’t have a bayou to brag about or a state known for its jazz music,” said Jennifer Bear- den, PRSSA president. When the proposal was ap- proved, PRSSA received $600 form Levi Strauss Co. to de- velop and promote the cam- paign. The organization also re- ceived $450 worth of Levi’s merchandise, including 501 jeans, buttons and posters to be given away at Bayou Blues Day. Tanya Phillips For participating PRSSA members, the competition pro- vided very valuable portfolio material for job interviews after graduation. “It’s really important when you're making contacts after college,” said Cary Aaron, pub- lic relations senior. “Blues on the Bayou” would show potential employers that PRSSA students could work as a team in a full-fledged PR campaign. The day’s events included performances by the Jazz En- semble, the Elec-Iones and a water skiing exhibition by NLU’s championship water ski team. The afternoon was con- cluded with a fashion show em- ceed by local radio announcer Tripper Lewis. Winners of the fashion show represented PRSSA in two fa- sion shows: Nov. 21 in Pecan- land Mall and Dec. 6 at the NLU basketball game. The final outcome of Levi’s competition was unannounced as of press time. —Tanya Phillips Liberal Arts 189 we're grow ing,” says president Cynthia Mals bled our membership since last : year.

That show was “JB”, a mod- ern version of the biblical story of Job. It is a 1959 Pulitzer Prize winning play written by Archibald MacLiesh. What made “JB” different was its performance in an envi- ronmental theatre setting. “It’s much different than the traditional procedium produc- tions most people are familiar with,” said Director Brenda Metheny, senior. “In procedium, there is an in- visible fourth wall which sepa- rates the audience from the stage. The people in the house actually are eavesdropping just like a bug on a wall.” “In environmental theatre, that fourth wall is taken down. The cast has no qualms about delivering their lines to the au- dience,” Metheny continued.

If I didn’t be- lieve in it (school of construc- tion), I wouldn’t sell it,” said Thurmon Potts, retiring direc- tor of the School of Construc- tion and AGC adviser. Over the past twenty years, Potts has seen the quality of the students’ education improve. Potts said, “We became the leaders in construction educa- tion and we boast one of the strongest curriculums in the country. We hold the best track record in employment of con- struction graduates.” AGC president Rebecca Ro- berson, construction senior said, “Construction education is new; it’s come about in the last 30 years at the most.” . : At one time the construction school’s enrollment was over 500, the largest in the country. Potts said, “I feel good about Northeast. It’s the finest univer- sity in the world. We have an excellent staff, nice facilities and the best backing by the in- dustry. I feel we’re teaching bet- ter than we ever have.” In 1965, Potts established his own architectural company. Potts and a conglomerate of engineers began in the early 1950s. Since that time he has worked in South Dakota, Min- nesota, Iowa and Kansas. “It was a sacrifice (monetari- ly) to teach, but the rewards were worth it,” said Potts. Following his retirement in January, Potts planned to return to architecture, travel and to work on his golf game. “We (architects) are day- dreamers; that’s the way we are. That’s how we get our ideas,” said Potts. —Tanya Phillips : b son, AGC president and.cORStY yg “i tion senior. tt Wong, Jim Mathews, Tim _ Martin, Jay Lightfoot, Yang Yih Hang, Paul Ohme — Faculty, David Robin- - son, John H.

In addition to directing plays, ff NEUCM oresents +. Da George Brian Brian wrote and directed a tril- ogy of plays about Huey P. Long. The plays (“Callie’s Boy,” “The Young Huey” and “Huey, The Man”) were performed by the “Louisiana Legend” acting group. Brian also developed Youth- eatre, which provided an oppor- tunity for high school students to delve into theater. During a six week summer period, the teenagers work in every aspect of a stage produc- tion as they prepared and per- formed a play. During his ten years as direc- tor of Youtheatre, Brian pro- duced eleven shows including “Lil Abner,” “Babes in Arms,” “The Hobbitt” and “The Wiz- ard of Oz.” Working at the Wesley Foun- dation, Brian taught a playwrit- ing class one night a week in the beginning. “I plan to incorporate classes in oral interpretation from the Bible and some choral reading,” said Brian. —Tanya Phillips Wesley Foundation.

Weekly meetings began im- mediately after selection in or- der to get acquainted and learn facts about NLU to share with the incoming freshmen. One of the staff’s major du- ties was to create and provide entertainment for all of the ses- sions. Two weeks before the first PREP session in June, the staff met to work on skits used as en- tertainment for the students. Many of the skits they per- formed were their own, and a few were passed down from pre- vious sessions. “We would have meetings where we just brainstormed on projects. With fifteen on staff, it was easy to get a lot accom- plished,” said PREP Staffer Kim Walker, sophomore math major. Besides putting on shows, the PREP staff sponsored a dance at each two-day session and a po-boy supper for the students. A staff member’s day during the sessions began at 7 a.m. and often lasted until 2 a.m. “We patrolled after the dances to make sure that the students were together. There are other camps going on be- sides PREP,” said Walker. While residing on campus, the staff was in charge of keep- ing the dorms clean, reviewing ACTscores and approving com- puterized schedules. Because they had to be avail- able for six weeks which were spread throughout the summer, staffers could not attend sum- mer classes or hold an outside job. “The staffers could make money somewhere else, but they do it (PREP) because they want to,” said Rials. Even though the staffers made lasting friendships and ps nin} f past fet th fe lst would see each other in the fall, the end of PREP was an emo tional time. “At the very last dance, thi last session, they cried like they were not going to see each othe) again,” said Rials. —Tanya Phillip), iP’s major function is to help in- ling freshmen avoid registra- .rush for the fall semester.

The newly formed body en- hanced the integrity of the SGA because it enabled a sepa- | rate judicial body to make deci- sions and prevent inner corrup- tion within the SGA. Four years ago the SGA pre- sented an amendment for a ju- dicial branch but it was vetoed by the administration because the jurisdiction was too encom- passing. Before the seven-judge court was established, decisions were made by the legislative branch of the SGA. “What little judicial power there was, was invested in the Rules Committee,” said Chief Justice Tom Kenny, English se- nior. “The Rules Committee was interpreting the laws they them- selves made, which was a viola- tion of the separation of pow- eTsa When the judicial SGA makes decisions, it now has no vested interests in those deci- sions and can be objective. The main problem for the ju- dicial group was making itself accessible to students because the jurisdiction of the judicial branch only covers questions about the SGA Constitution and its by-laws. “I want this very much to last after I’m gone,” said Kenny. “I hope eventually the whole thing will turn into a judiciary not just for the SGA but direct- ly for students.” “Someday as the integrity of the court grows, responsibility to the student will grow,” con- tinued Kenny. The court’s first justices were made of six former SGA legis- lators and one former represen- tative from the Black Caucus. The selection of the Chief Justice and two associate jus- tices was made by the SGA Cenla, students from central Louisi- ana.

For the UB, the 1986-87 year began ominously when chair- man Marsha Starks had to sit out the semester on a medical leave of absence. Events took a further plunge when Steve Winwood’s perfor- mance, the first major concert of the year, was cancelled due to the lack of ticket sales. It seemed as if the same might happen to the Bangles’ concert four weeks later. “Ticket sales for the Bangles’ concert went very slow.

LEI Service 215 wy a SOUND OF TODAY Drill Master Leaves But Band Goes On The 1986-87 year was the last one for Assistant Band Director David Rollins, who choreo- graphed and taught the drills for the half-time shows. “Next year won’t be the same without him,” said Robbie Clif- ton, music education sopho- more, when he learned Rollins would be leaving. Clifton even thought about transferring to another college after hearing about Rollins’ de- parture. He particularly em- “Next year won't besthessanicinas — Robbie Cufta. phasized the dynamic motiva- tion that Rollins brought to the band. After Rollins’ departure, Band Director Jack White be- came responsible for the selec- tion of music and the making of a “visual presentation of the band that reflects what the au- dience hears.” According to White and sev- eral band students, Rollins would be missed for the unique system of writing and teaching drills that he had developed. He even had two articles de- Bana Faculty. First Row: Beth Elling- ton, Rita Oller.

Rollins noted that one half- time performance takes 40 to 60 hours to develop — time that does not include teaching and practicing. White indicated that Rollins’ duties, added to those he al- ready shouldered, would be a difficult task for one person to perform. Kyle Smith, math freshman, was upset by the loss of Rollins as he felt that Rollins’ Drum Corp International style drill was preferable to the older block style. Smith said Rollins accom- plished great tasks with ease be- cause he put “responsibility on individual students.” Rollins said he was told as far back as December 1985 that his position might be terminated due to budget cuts. By his own decision, Rollins decided to move to New Or- leans to work in a music store. White said, “The fact that Mr. Rollins is not going to con- tinue in music education is a loss to education because of his hard work and dedication.” The School of Music was heavily affected by cuts in fac- ulty due to budget cuts. In 1985-86 five part-time instruc- tors were not rehired. According to Dr. Richard Worthington, thirty and one- half percent of the School of Music faculty, including Rol- lins, received a letter stating their contracts might not be re- newed at the end of the year. This meant that seven of the 23 faculty members stood a chance of losing their teaching position due to budget cuts. “President Vines will make the final decision, and it will de- pend on the budget cuts at that time,” said Dr. Worthington. Rollins himself said, in re- flecting upon the damage these) 7 terminations will have on they band, “It is going to impact the music department greatly.” White said the lost positions | would increase the pressure on |) him since the band department EB had expanded so much during |™ the past seventeen years. I: Rollins left NLU with best wishes for the band and an opti- | mistic appraisal that “these de- | partures will not lower the high standards of the band.” “Everyone will have to work | twice as hard to maintain the great standards that have be- come a tradition at NLU.” —Charlotte Hill Bana Council.

One of the major issues the band faced was the condition of their uniforms, which were pur- chased in 1973. Band sophomore Brad Farm- er said, “Our uniforms are old, and we would all like an updat- ed look.” According to White, the average age of band uniforms is eight years. Doyle Parker, owner of Snow White Cleaners and an NLU alumnus, said the university has purchased uniforms only three times since 1935. The band had a uniform crew to see that the uniforms were properly cared for and repaired between cleanings. “This is a very important committee. The fact they func- tion correctly is a real asset to the band’s ability to look good in performance,” White said. The crew consisted of gradu- 220 Organizations A Need For New Uniforms ate assistant Beth Ellington, the drum majors and student volun- teers. The crew handled the is- suing and returning of uniforms before and after each game. They also made minor adjust- ments such as replacing trouser zippers and the decorative fringe which often came off. Traditionally, after every game, students were asked to put down any problems with their uniforms in writing. “The uniform committee saves the university money by not having to buy new uniforms and not having the expense of professionally altering them,” White said. The cleaning of the uniforms, important to their preservation, was done twice a year by bid. For most of the past thirteen years, the bid chosen was from Snow White Cleaners. Parker, an ex-band parent, said he always bid low to help support NLU. The uniforms, which look good at a distance, were still de- teriorating in spite of the band’s efforts to keep them in good shape. White estimated that even at a low price, the cost of new uni- forms would be about $60,000 to $70,000. White believed that new uni- forms would raise the morale of the band members, which in turn would make performances even greater. However, because of the bud- get cuts, he did not want new uniforms at the expense of someone’s job. —Charlotte Hill Feature Twirler. Cindy Weathersby. Baritones.

Optimistic. Enthusi- astic. Charismatic. These are the words that describe Chief Brave Spirit and the man be- hind the mask. Chief Brave Spirit was cre- ated in 1980 to fulfill NLU’s need for a mascot. Terry Harris, a freshman from Shreveport, was the first Chief. His debut was on the road at the University of Iowa. Harris filled the Chief’s shoes for four years and gave the mascot the personality he is credited with today. Chief Brave Spirit is classi- fied as a cheerleader and re- ceives a scholarship each se- mester. Once the Chief is selected he can be mascot as long as he likes and for as long as he is liked. He must attend practices with the cheerleaders and is re- sponsible for his own sideline antics. There are two important rules that the Chief must fol- low: 1) his head never comes off and 2) he never talks, except in emergencies. Christine Lofquist, coordina- tor of Student Activities, said, “From the start he hasn’t talked. It’s a tradition that seems to be with most mascots. It makes people become more interested in the character rath- er than the person.” “What you want to get through, you get through with sign language,” said the current Chief. For NLU’s public relations, Chief Brave Spirit supports the community by travelling in his spare time and at his own ex- pense. He has visited grade schools and junior highs to present awards. 222 Organizations Last year he was the only mascot invited to be in a parade honoring Miss America in Vicksburg, Mississippi. “She pulled up in a big black limousine. I stepped up there, pushed a Mississippi trooper to the side, put my arm around her and got my picture taken,” said Chief. He also had his picture taken with Miss Louisiana, New Mexico, Arkansas and Georgia. The highlight of the Chief’s 1986 football season was the construction of his teepee. to go when the game started since the locker rooms are locked. I lose so much body flu- id while in this (costume); I can step in there and take a drink of water. I also needed a place for my props.” Now that the Chief has a home, he needs a crowd. The 1986-87 season crowds were disappointing for the Chief. “This year is different. The crowds are not into it as much. It’s sad when the crowd doesn’t jump on ‘Two Bits’.

The Chief put in a request to the alumni for a shelter to store his equipment and rest during football games. The Chief supervised con- struction of the teepee and even put a few nails in himself. Chief not only entertains on the sidelines but gets involved with the audiences at games. His audiences include school children from area schools which he visits during his spare time. Most of the time Chief is viewed as only comic relief, but during the Southwest Texas game he conve- niently helps school photographer Richard Lupo escape the rain.

They are the members of various campus spirit groups. “Being a spirit group mem- ber is like being a leader on campus,” said cheerleader Don- na Kay Ramsey. “It’s a chance to actively support your (sports) teams.” At football and basketball games, some of these groups lead the crowd in cheers; other groups further fire up the fans’ spirit with choreographed shows. Although these energetic performances look easy, they are the results of many unseen hours of practices. “It’s hard work,” said Chris- tine Lofquist, coordinator of Student Activities. “There’s a lot that goes on before a perfor- mance.” The Warbonnets routines, for example, last no more than two minutes each but require a minimum of tri-weekly prac- tices or four hundred man hours to perfect. Routines for the Cheer- leaders and the Little Indians require just as much time and dedication. “Discipline is the key word,” said Warbonnet captain Terri Duncan. “It’s discipline, team- work and team effort that make us look good.” And “looking good” is criti- cal to the Little Indians, Cheer- Gieericaders First Row: Chief Brave Spirit.

Precautions include assis- tance with all acrobatics, use of gym mats, careful stretching out and warming up before rou- tines. In addition, members have to keep within weight lim- its. However, even after all pre- cautions have been taken, acci- dents still may happen — some- times with tragic consequences. Ginny Bourn was a member of the Jack Hayes Junior High dance line, The Shy Annes, when she slipped while per- forming a split.

In the event of only minor in- juries, sitting out on practices is unheard of. “If a girl has a pulled muscle, she doesn’t sit out,” said War- bonnet captain, Duncan. “She still practices but doesn’t exert herself as much.” It is such dedication which has developed the spirit groups into “specialists”, and ensures that they give nothing but the best of spirit for their team. —Su-lin Gan Chesca Benton's flexiblity enables her to strike poses that most people cannot.

Spirit 229 ‘TRADITION Trying Old and New The morale at NLU seemed low. Enrollment had dropped, budgets were tightened and tu- ition was raised. Was the flame of spirit growing smaller? To battle sagging spirits, The Office of Student Development and the spirit organizations worked toward the beginning of new traditions. “We’re trying to start some- thing new rather than continue something old,” said Charles MacDonald, director of student development. Christine Lofquist, coordina- tor of student activities, said, “Our purpose is to get the crowd involved in watching the game and yelling in support of the athletes.” “The cheerleaders are the connection between the field and the crowd,” Lofquist con- tinued. ° To strengthen connections, cheerleaders went into the stands on both sides of the foot- ball field during the 1986-87 A traditional spirit line became the new entrance for Indian football players at the begin- ning of each game. | ° e ¢ ee $ 230 Organizations season. They also taught cheers and the fight song at pep rallies and to the alumni. D espite the efforts, for Chief Brave Spirit, Indian mascot, this season was rather disap- pointing. “This year is different,” said Chief. “The crowds are not into it as much. It’s sad when the crowd doesn’t jump on ‘Two Bits’.” The addition of Chief Brave Spirit’s teepee, siren and fire- works added a new dimension to the Cheerleaders’ activities, but spirit still needed to be lifted. In order to bolster the flag- ging enthusiasm, an ad hoc committee met each week after football games to critique the spirit groups’ performances.

We’ve got people giv- ing us input all the way around,” Lofquist said. A few of the new endeavors included the playing of specific songs after first downs and touchdowns. At pep rallies the Cheer- leaders awarded a spirit stick to the group that cheered the most. The spirit groups regenerated the midnight pep rally a few years ago where students par- ticipated in one of the few en- during NLU traditions—the burning of bonfires which be- gan in the 1950s. Over the past few seasons, basketball attendance has con- tinued to decrease. For the ’86- 87 season, it slumped to a low average of 2,274 per game. “I wished more stude give support ang games,” Peter Bradley Lofquist said suggestions from the committee might be able to help the basketball sea- son in general, not just each game. Some ideas were already be- ing put to use. The band shifted to a new location in the seats of the coliseum from the floor and the cheerleaders moved around the floor instead of staying on one side, except during tourna- ment games due to strict regula- tions. Another idea the Cheer- leaders were considering for the future was the use of flashcards with the crowds and also the play-by-play announcers help- ing by calling out instructions. Lofquist said, “One side could flash ‘Go’ and the other ‘NLU’. Flashcards are used at other schools real effectively. That could be a great tradi- tion.” “It’s so simple. You’ve got to start somewhere,” continued Lofquist. —Tanya Phillips Spirit 233 a ' i acemaker the bottom line Sounds of squeaking chairs and staccato typing, mixed with human voices and the occasion- al wail of frustration from an unintelligible babble, are com- mon to yearbook offices. “Who’s got my proportion wheel?” “What’s the point size for captions?” “Can I see some- one’s red pen?” “Aren’t my pho- tographs here yet!” “Return my pica ruler Ore Although it might be hard to believe, there are answers to the insanity.

We lost a lot of staff that way.” The strenuous schedule and enduring determination pulled the diminishing staff close to- gether. They laughed and pout- ed, ranted and raved.

Edwin Edwards started his third term on rocky ground. Balancing Louisiana’s budget would not be an easy task. As an alternative to raising taxes, Edwards suggested a state-wide lottery and casino gambling in New Orleans. According to Edwards, this measure would have increased revenue and jobs in times when the state unemployment level was at 13 percent, the lowest in the nation. When legislators opposed his suggestion for raising revenue, Edwards took a hands-off ap- proach and let them balance the budget. “The governor made one mis- take in the whole process. He proposed a solution before the people of Louisiana realized we had a problem,” said Rep. Ray- mond Jetson. When a three percent cut in spending across-the-board be- came necessary, Edwards told state department heads, “Cut where the people are least af- fected.” One question raised by stu- dents was whether or not higher education could be considered “least affected” by cuts. The three percent state cuts Richard Lupo resulted in a five percent cut for higher education. The problems that were incurred brought dis- tress for students across the en- . tire state. For Northeast Louisiana University, the cut meant an in- crease in tuition. Some depart- ments were cut to the bone and enrollment dropped in one year by 886 students. Tom Kenny, English depart- ment senior said, “Cuts like these will only continue until the state of Louisiana begins to take education seriously.” —Amy Burchell and Julie Cason After the Washington Street Dedi- cation, Edwards answers questions for local news media.

Vines was challenged by ex- tensive budget cuts. The execu- tive budget was cut by four per- cent and enrollment was down by 886. The combined effect re- sulted in a loss of one-and-one- half-million dollars to NLU. “I’ve become a ‘no’ machine in the last few years.

Equip- | ment breaks and they need to have it fixed or they need addi- tional equipment. I have to say ‘no we can’t afford to do that’,” said Vines. “We have instructional equipment that is obsolete, broken, and inadequate. It would probably take two or three million dollars to bring tt Fy it the instructional equipment up to the desirable level,” said Vines. “It is not very enjoyable to say ‘no’ so many times and to be unable to say ‘yes’ — particu- larly when you know that if this university had been funded last year at the average level for southern universities of the same size, we would have had about $9.2 million dollars more than we had,” said Vines.

This 1986 esti- mate was 15 percent of the par- ish’s total personal income. “Each student attending NLU accounts for an annual in- crease of $22,000 in local busi- ness volume,” said Dr. Jerry Wall, director of the Center for Business and Economic Re- search. The direct expenditures at- tributed to NLU students, fac- ulty, and staff and visitors to- taled $97.6 million. “However, when an economic multiplier of 2.5 (which he termed conservative) is applied to the direct expenditures, the economic impact on the area’s economy is more than $244 mil- lion,” Wall said. “Therefore, NLU directly or indirectly accounts for more than 15 percent of the $1.3 bil- lion in personal income for Oua- chita Parish,” said Wall. Concerning the economic im- pact on the business community by the university, Wall said, “Every dollar placed into the lo- cal economy will turn over sev- eral times. Since the Twin Cities are isolated from other metropolitan areas and serve as a regional shopping, service, medical and retail center, dol- lars tend to stay in the local economy and turn over more frequently.” An economic multiplier in the range of two to five was typi- cal of a community like the Monroe-West Monroe area, Wall said. His study found that NLU’s 11,000 students account for the largest direct expenditures, $43.8 million, followed by the 1,200 faculty and staff with $31.6 million. The university’s local expen- jf ditures accounted or $8.3 mil- lion, and the visitors brought to | the area by the university ac-_ counted for another $13.8 mil- lion in local expenditures. The economic impact of fac- ulty and staff expenditures on the local economy was estimat- ed to be $79 million. The university’s expenditures for goods and services in the lo- cal economy totaled $8.3 mil- lion, which translated into an economic impact of $20.8 mil- lion. The hundreds of visitors who came to Monroe and West Mon- roe to visit students, faculty and staff, or attended the numerous events held at the university, spent approximately $13.8 mil- lion during their stay. These ex- penditures had an economic im- pact of $34.5 million on the lo- cal economy. —Bob Carroll Alex Johnsor® Michael Pipes answers a question Chelsea’s, which opened in the fall, at College Town Bookstore on De- is a new hangout for Veronica | Siard.

The EAC of Northeast Lou- isiana University is the only or- ganization of its kind in the area. It began in 1981 to provide staff and faculty members with recreational, educational and social programs. “We do anything to bring the faculty closer together and to create a better atmosphere on campus for the students and the employees,” said Director of Student Development Charlie MacDonald. The committee’s major pro- ject is raising funds for a $1,000 scholarship that is awarded toa dependent of a university em- ployee. ajun A more popular event is the beans and rice dinner, when stu- dents and faculty can get to- gether in an out-of-class atmo- sphere. Other activities the EAC has sponsored include the follow- ing: watermelon parties, Christ- mas receptions, garage sales, aerobics classes and sports tour- naments. ““Good friendships have evolved through the EAC. We feel a more family oriented at- mosphere; we’re not just people who come in and work eight hours,” said Jean Cowan, Publi- cations Coordinator.

Fone says ‘‘au revoir” to NLU student Delores Ann Scarbrock was determined to get more out of her year long trip to Avignon, France than just an expanded vocabulary. Scarbrock wanted to expand the horizon of her life. NLU and the University of Avignon started a student-ex- change program in fall 1984. Although Scarbrock was the first NLU student to travel to Avignon, two French students from the University of Avignon had attended school at North- east. Scarbrock was impressed by the University of Avignon, call- ing it an “up-and-coming” school. “The professors here are much more laid back and inter- act much more with their stu- dents,” Scarbrock said, “where- as in France it’s, ‘I’m the profes- sor and you’re the student,’ there’s always this kind of wall.” | j)jio Although Scarbrock was a_i student in the usual sense, she , Cout had time to travel. init, 0 “I think one of the first things jx; that really strikes you when you j,i: get over there is the history,” _ ,, jie said Scarbrock. “You see some-| , thing that was built over 600) years ago and it’s just incredi- |, i ble.

Between Dr. Paul Johnston, ‘the director of the center, Bar- bara Jackson, counselor, and Wendt, 12 to 15 students a day are advised on everything from academics to lost loves to thoughts of suicide. “Most of the time, the best thing we can do is just sit and listen and say nothing,” Wendt said. “We give people the feel- ing they’re cared about. We’re _ going to listen and not condemn ‘them no matter what they tell ” us. The Counseling Center, lo- cated on Bayou Drive in the old infirmary, broke away from the Counseling, Testing and Place- ment Center in July 1985, and Wendt said some people still do Catherine Cordry help is here not realize help is available. In an attempt to increase awareness among students, Wendt created “60 Seconds to Think About It,” a daily pro- gram on KNLU that addresses typical student concerns. “We don’t pretend to be know-it-all,” Johnston said. “But we do try to cover as much area as possible through coun- seling and presentation to groups of students.” “It’s very normal to have problems and need to talk about them,” Wendt said. “You’d be shocked. Some of the most pop- ular people on campus will come in, talk things through.” Rose Kline, executive direc- tor of Mainline, a local problem hotline, said her counselors of- ten direct not only students but people in the community, to vis- it the counselors at NLU. “More calls are received from students in the fall be- cause many freshmen are trying to handle situations they have never had to deal with before,” said Johnston. Many freshmen do not think to go to a counselor for personal problems because their high school advisors’ main concern was vocational Johnston said. If students are having a hard time adjusting to college life or life away from home, Wendt said the Counseling Center can help. “We have people coming in the first couple of weeks who are homesick or just having a rough time adjusting. People shouldn’t be embarrassed for anything,” said Wendt. Most problems, Wendt said, are settled in one meeting, but some personal or marriage problems may require contin- ued counseling. A typical pro- gram for a personal problem re- quires eight to ten visits. “The one-shot meetings frus- trate counselors,” Wendt said, “because they do not know how things worked out.” “A lot of times, you'll counsel with someone and then never see them again so you just hope- fully assume things are going well,” he said. “Once in a while, you ll see someone on campus that you’ve met with twice, and they'll say, ‘Hey Mr. Wendt, ev- erything’s going great’, and you feel really good.” —Stacy Sullivan A voice home is always uplifting, especially one those depressing days everyone sometimes exper- iences.

Coordinator of the Ra- dio TV Film studies, Ryland is a regular attraction at Enoch’s, a Cafe. Each time he tunes up the guitar, a group of his students will be in the audience to cheer him on. “T’ve got a small but loyal fol- lowing,” Ryland said with a laugh. “Very small.” Ryland likes to joke about his talents, but in truth his appeal is not just limited to his students. He was once a professional mu- sician. “When I was just out of col- lege in 63, I played with a group of guys called The Towns- men Four for about three years,” he said. “We did a few professional gigs. We got an Enoch’s hosts a variety of music.

Also we played in Waco, Texas, one time. We were starving but still were having a heck of a good time,” said Ryland. The realities of a wife and a child on the way convinced Ry- land to find a more dependable source of income. He has been teaching for nearly 20 years and came to Northeast in 1984. Over the years, Ryland contin- ued to moonlight as a singer, even while studying for his doc- tor’s degree at LSU. “I started singing when I was really small,” said Ryland. “I had an aunt and an uncle who encouraged that. They would bring me out and I'd sing for their friends because they thought it was cute.” Ryland later improved his Richard Lupo Early morning hours with a cup of coffee in his office provide Dr. Ed Ryland an opportunity to relax and prepare for his day.

But that’s what I did.” Ryland has also tried his hand in community theater pro- ductions, opera productions and recorded an album with an Ar- kansas-based group called Su- gar Hill. He still performs with Sugar Hill from time to time.

In order for you to have good pickers, you’ve got to have good grinners.” Sometimes Ryland has to grin himself, when one of his students makes a crack about the previous night’s perfor- mance. “They kid me sometimes, but always in a good-natured way,” said Ryland. “They’re not over- stepping the boundaries of re- spect.” —Irwin Thompson E- Ip At CL . = = —- aR SIR Se Pr ———— _— ' various brands of beer mirrors, autographed pictures and jazz festival posters cover the dark walls of Enoch’s, A Cafe.

The only significant reduc- tion in the music budget was in personal services. Scholarships were cut, and many students had to pay for private lessons which previously had been at no cost. “It has caused music majors who have to be able to play sev- eral instruments problems,” said Raymond Cooper, public relations freshman. “There was also a drop in band by 30 people,” said Carl Widdig, business junior. Enrollment for the School of Music in the past four has been declining, while full-time facul- ty ratio has only varied slightly. The “Save Our School of Music” students repeatedly pointed out three departments, CIS, Business and Pharmacy, received personnel allowance increases. President Dwight Vines ex- plained accreditation concerns justified the budget. He added that similar financial support would be directed toward the School of Music when they were evaluated for reaccredita- tion in the future. Expecting drastic budget cuts, all programs were evaluat- | ed to determine which areas | would be cut and to what de- gree. Two factors considered were the cost of instruction and en- rollment trends. The School of Music did not compare favor- ably with other departments in either area. As a result, nontenured staff in the School of Music were contacted and told they might not be rehired if the proposed cuts were put into effect. Tenured staff were told the cuts probably would not affect them. Some of the nontenured staff interpreted their letters to mean they were being released from employment. When Vines realized rumors | were increasing, he met with the music faculty to solve the communication breakdown. In- stead, Vines felt he was misun- | derstood and misquoted. The confusion continued. As a result of the actual bud- get cuts, only the part-time staff were not rehired. Almost 23 | full-time faculty returned with guaranteed employment | through spring 1987.

We think by requesting the em- ployer to pay the student, the student will be used more,” said Greenlaw. In most cases, the student will be putting in a 10-hour work week during one semester. According to Greenlaw, the student receives academic cred- it and pay, and the employer ob- tains an extra worker. Also, the internship can be used as a screening device for possible fu- ture employees. One difficult area for the Col- lege of Business was establish- ing employers in business and industry who were willing to participate in the program. “The program will have to be a combined effort between an industry and NLU,” said Greenlaw. The plans included one full- time director who would coordi- nate the internship program by spending one-half of his time in the business community selling the program. After the agreement form was signed by the intern and employer, NLU kept in contact with them through the student’s documentation. Students were required to keep a diary of duties they per- formed while working in the in- ternship program. “The students are required to have some documentation to show that they are not just mak- ing coffee or running errands for the employer,” Greenlaw said. McGraw said, “Through this arrangement, students receive practical experience in the real world. They make contacts with practitioners that might employ them later. And they learn the difference between textbooks and work,” said McGraw. Interns must have an overall grade point average of 2.5 anda 2.7 grade point average in the major field of study. Six credits can be earned with the approval of the department head. —Becky Dumas Dr. Kishop Kulkarni Economics Finance Dr. David Loudon Management Marketing Cathy Martin Management Marketing Dr. Robert Martin Management Marketing Larry Morrison Computer Office Info Systems Dr. Ernest Moser Economics Finance Dr. Bettye Robinson Computer Office Info Systems Patricia Roshto Accounting Dr. Claude Simpson Computer Office Info Systems Dr. Julian Smith Accounting Debbie Tesch Computer Office Info Systems Dr. Robert Tesch Computer Office Info Systems Robert Vining Management Marketing Dr. William Warren Management Marketing Academics 257 ollege o ASB SOURS SERNA CS MNES PILES BOOM ITSS BISBAL SESS LEO BEES ENED ESM SEE EOS R II EES TE TEE EN EE SEEDED ETE Dr. Bob Cage Dean of Education Dr. Cage received his doctor- ate in education administration and research at Iowa State Uni- versity in Ames, Iowa.

The children’s literature class, which teaches students how to pick and read books for children, experimented by trav- eling to area schools to tell sto- ries to children. In past years, the students only told stories to each other in class. “There’s something about storytelling,” Smith said. “You have eye-to-eye contact. You can see the response of the chil- dren and you can get into the story.” When the students told their stories, they tried to incorporate puppets and flannel boards, which helped keep the chil- dren’s attention. While these things helped the storyteller, they were not essen- tial. “All you really need are a good story, storyteller and chil- dren.” “The whole purpose of using literature with the children is to give them a pleasant attitude to- ward reading,” said Smith.

He came to Northeast nine years ago as the Coordinator of Pharmacology and Toxicology and became the Dean of Phar- macy and Health Science in July of 1986. Bourn explains that he enjoys his job and watching students progress. He said, “I love to watch freshmen just out of high school, with stars in their eyes, advance through their years of study.

Bourn ad- | mitted that becoming a college _dean was not his career goal _when he was younger, but then again, that was during a time in his life when he thought nothing would make him happier than being a pharmacist. “My goal has just kind of con- tinued to extend itself,” said Bourn, who became dean of Pharmacy and Health sciences July 1, 1986. He replaced the retired Dr. Kenneth R. Shrader. “When I started out, I want- ed to be a pharmacist because I liked what they represented — the professional aspect of their lives,” said Bourn. As a pharmacy student at the University of New Mexico, the Carlsbad, New Mexico native Students recognize Dr. William Bourn around campus even though he has only recently come to NLU. took such a special liking to his science courses that his career in pharmacy began to change direction even before he re- ceived his bachelor’s degree in 1967. While in graduate school at the University of Arizona, Bourn realized he wanted to be- come a professor of pharmacol- ogy with access to a research laboratory. NLU offered Bourn just such an opportunity in September 1974 when he became an assis- tant professor of pharmacology.

It behaves like a gen- |) tleman. “It” happens to be a RBSX Robot, dubbed “RB,” the newest instructor in the Com- puter Science Department. The RB5X is a complete modular system for introductory and ad- vanced robotics education and the world’s first mass-produced, programmable robot. It can be operated through programming or by remote control. “It’s an impressive gift, a colorful showcase that includes a blue-and-white body, topped off with flashing red, green and yellow lights and a see-through dome. Not only does the robot have looks, it also has brains,” said Dr. Paul Ohme, head of the Computer Science Depart- ment. RB contains self-learning software which enables it to learn from its experiences. “The software allows the ro- bot to progress from simple ran- dom responses to an ability to generalize about features of its environment, storing this data in its on-board memory,” said Ohme. In addition, the RBS5X is equipped with eight bumpers and a sonar sensor arm, which enables it to carry objects weighing up to one pound and sense light, temperature and sound. RB is also as polite as can be, using his programmed voice to tell people in his path, “Oops, beg your pardon,” or ask, “May I pass?” The robot’s native tongue is Tiny BASIC, a divi- sion of the easy-to-use BASIC language. The computer science de- partment uses RB in classes for both NLU students and area residents, including General Motors employees. Ohme said, “The robot will make an occasional appearance in some of our computer science courses (to familiarize students with programmable robots) and in some courses we provide for teachers in the community (working on certification in computer literacy and comput- €r science). = “But I see it used more out- side of class than in it. It will not be a major factor in our under- graduate curriculum,” said Ohme. The personable robot was used to introduce schoolchil- dren to the fast-developing world of robotics, a world which could be commonplace when they are adults. RB is used at the summer computer camps for elementary, junior high and high schools student. NLU purchased the RBSX with a $6,000 grant made possi- ble through joint training funds of Monroe’s Fisher-Guide Divi- sion of General Motors Corp. and the United Auto Workers Union Local 1977. —Rich Plotkin and Christy Carter RB5X can be programmed with a hand-held remote control.

Stoves decided to gain on- the-job training as a graduate assistant while working on her master’s degree. At a teacher’s suggestion, Stoves requested an assistant- ship in the Health and Physical Education Department. During her first assistant- ship, she taught jazz, dance, aerobics, conditioning and bowling. “I really appreciate the expe- 'rience I have gained from teaching in the assistantship program. I will be able to fall back on teaching if I ever need to,” said Stoves. During her second intern- ship, she worked in the Finan- cial Aid Office. Stoves assisting with student loan applications and the Off-Campus Referral Program. Seeking her master’s helped Stoves to get a full-time job at channel 10 News. She had worked at Channel 10 as an in- tern during the summer of 1986. When the internship was over, News Director Jerry Mayer offered her a full-time position. The job provided Stoves with experience in running the tele- prompter, writing stories for producers, coordinating file tapes and reporting on week- ends. After earning a master’s de- gree, her plans were to continue at Channel 10 news and become a news anchor person. Because of the skills and knowledge she gained, Stoves considered graduate school to be highly effective and helpful. “The instructors are doing graduate students a service and vice-versa. They make sure you are competent and look good. When other students see us, hopefully, it will encourage th em to enroll in graduate school,” said Stoves. —Charlotte Hill ‘ The instructors are doing graduate stu- dents a service and vice-versa.

It looks like you’re about to fly away,” said Colonel Ray Newman, equine science in- structor. Newman taught Basic Equinetation, which he de- scribes as western pleasure horse-back riding. Basic Equinetation is only one of the classes in the equine science program. The program is under Pure and Applied Sci- ences and is one few Northeast students are aware of. The students who participate in the classes offered seem to enjoy the program and feel that their time is well spent. Nancy Freeman took one of the classes for personal en- hancement. She was not seek- ing a degree, but simply en- joyed being around horses and took the class to learn about them. “The class is worth every pen- 272 Equine ny and second it takes. The Foundation for Northeast owns the stables, but allows me to board my own horse here.” “It is less expensive than most anywhere else in Monroe, and I get to participate in train- ing my own horse,” said Free- man. Owning a horse is not a pre- requisite for taking the classes. The stables, located on Layton farm, have three mares and a stallion as well as boarded horses for students to ride and care for. The horses were bought or donated by various supporters of the program. Also, the mares are bred to outside sources for a fee or as a donation. The program basically re- volves around two categories: thoroughbred and quarter-type horses. The thoroughbred horses are involved in a breeding program, and the quarter horses are in- volved in both breeding and rid- ing. The foals, resulting from the breeding, are used to teach foal care and sold at public auctions. Instructors, students and in- dividuals hired by the Founda- tion provide actual care for the horses, said Newman. Chad Higginbotham, animal science sophomore, lives in a house on the farm and is respon- sible for feeding the horses ev- ery morning and evening during the week. He said, “The program is steadily improving because of good management. It enables the students to participate in the curriculum and have fun at the same time.” Wayne Allen, criminal jus- tice freshman, is one of the trainers. Misty, an eight year- old quarter-horse was one of his biggest challenges. “She threw me three times before she was completely The horses are groomed beforeev- [oN ery class.

Rush is the time for girls to become acquainted with sorori- ties and Greek life. During sorority rush, held a week before registration, wom- en can attend one to two parties daily. This enables the rushees to become familiar with the so- rorities and vice versa. At the end of the week, the rushee decides which, if any, so- rority she wishes to join. “Being in a sorority gives me something else to be involved in besides class,” said Diane Hol- ers, a member of Phi Mu. “I have learned more about myself by working with others.” The sororities put many hours of hard work into making their rush parties a success. “We work year round to pro- mote a good positive image of ourselves to the campus and community,” said Christine Be- verly, a member of Alpha Omi- cron Pi. The members work hard practicing skits, singing songs RACTICES AND PARTIES and brushing up on their con- versation skills. “Each group wants good quality girls so they practice un- til they almost drop,” said Be- verly. “The hard work all pays off on bid day when you see the new pledges come running down your hall.” The next five months are called the pledgeship period. During this time, the new mem- bers learn the history of the Greek system and of her soror- ity. She also becomes familiar with her new sisters and what sorority life involves. Some of these commitments include a grade point average of at least 2.0 and financial obliga- tions ranging from $25 to $45 a month. The most important element of this commitment is time. Without a substantial contribu- tion of its members’ time, the Greek system can become weak.

Similar to previous years, hours of dedicated planning and pomping were still put into each display; however, not as much time was needed. Tana Warren, Alpha Omi- cron Pi, said, “We’re usually re- quired to put in 10 hours each on the float. This year it was cut to five since it was a smaller dis- play.” Economic cutbacks were only part of the reason behind cancelling the usual parade through Monroe.

It is good to have someone to talk to who is older and more exper- ienced tha n you.” The relationship works two- ways.

Nation-wide attention has been focused on the dangers of drink- ing and driving; organizations have been held liable for auto ac- _ cidents involving guests who had been served alcohol at social func- tions. “The alcohol provisions help | protect us from potential lawsuits. It is for the sorority’s protection as well as their guests,” said Sandra '’ Wink, a Sigma Kappa member. __ Sigma Kappa chapter officers are now required to obtain special permission from national officers prior to the event at which alcohol will be present. A unanimous vote of approval by the chapter must be received for each Sigma Kappa function where alcoholic beverages will be actually served. “We, as a chapter, are prohibit- ed from using money from the treasury to purchase liquor. How- eee Reducer ' Adoption of policies ever, we are allowed to have pri- vate bartenders run a cash bar, from which Sigma Kappa re- ceives no profit. The bartenders are held liable, not Sigma Kappa,” said Wink. The new policies do not put a damper on the parties, continued Wink. “It really is not a problem. The new rules are only for the safety and security of the soror- ity.” Alpha Omicron Pi has similar regulations which do not allow al- cohol at any AOPi sponsored event. Bethany Culley, an AOPi member, said, “AOPi cannot use its funds to purchase liq uor, but members may bring alcohol in.” “All members are required to sign an alcohol policy which states the members’ responsibilities to themselves, the chapter and other members,” Culley said. “The policy makes us aware of the seriousness of alcohol drink- ing and all its ramifications.” —Stacy Greene Sandra Wink Cathy Wood The Miller Lite beer truck provides easy access for party-goers, Kenny Bonds and Adria Beal, at a post- game party held by Pi Kappa Alpha.

This tradition was broken with the spring 1986 decision by the Interfraternity Council to prohibit alcohol at Rush Week functions. Dean Nick Lassiter, IFC ad- viser, explained there were sev- eral reasons for the decision. “People were going through rush just to have an inexpensive beer party,” Lassiter said. He felt Rush Week flo wed smooth- er and with fewer accidents as the direct result of the new “no alcohol” policy. Ron St. John, Kappa ‘Alpha member, agreed with Lassiter. “Our national fraternity was pleased to see it (dry rush) be- cause it reduced their liabili- ties, and there was less of a chance of a lawsuit in case of an accident,” said St. John. “The people who came through were more interested in pledging for the right reasons. They didn’t come through look- ing for a ‘cheap week drunk.’ The people who pledged will stay with it. They are the people who will make their grades.” During Rush Week, fraterni- ty houses were transformed into beaches, Las Vegas casinos, and Hawaiian luaus. They carried out the elabo- rate themes with realistic props and exotic food with hopes of attracting students. Ted Gardiner, a member of Kappa Sigma, said, “Even though we had fewer people go through, we got about the same number of pledges. Only the people who were serious about it went through.” Lassiter said there was a defi- nite drop of interest in fraterni- ty rush compared to prior years. “In the fall of 1985, approxi- mately six hundred people went through rush. In the fall of 1986, the number dropped to — one hundred sixty.” He felt in the long run the jj new rush policy will improve — the fraternity system. __ o “Tt will definitely cut down | on expenses and problems | throughout the year. The frater- | nities are pledging more con- | cerned individuals.” Al St. John added, “Although 2 we were apprehensive at first, | we were pleased with the out- | come. We didn’t know how it would turn out. It’s just easier to talk to them (rushees) with a | drink in your hand.” : “I definitely feel we will benefit from it, though. We saved a lot of money and got some good pledges.” -Stacy Greene | Lemert Hall served as a billboard B-B-Q chicken, being prepared by , for Doug Wheeler and Ashley Wro-_ Willie Freeman and Glenn Hale, } ten to advertise the Delta Sigma Phi _was an alternative to alcohol at the rush parties.

Although the scene could be that of a fashion show in the men’s underwear department of Dillard’s, it is actually a glimpse of the Kappa Sigma’s Boxer Re- bellion Party.

Each fraternity and sorority spends many hours diligently planning the details for what they hope will be The-Party-of- a GREEKS ARE INVITED To compete for “Party-of-the-year” The-Year. The competition is fierce. “Crazy themes add life to any party. What would have been a full get-together winds up being a major blow-out because every- one gets involved with the theme,” said Pi Kappa Alpha member, Jeff Thompson. The themes vary from party to party; the list of the more pop- ular ideas include Hawaiian luaus, ghetto parties and toga parties. Thompson said his favorite theme parties were Pike’s Graf- fiti Party, where guests signed each others t-shirts with bright markers, and Sports Festival, where guests came attired in the gear of their favorite sport. Darla Williams, a Sigma Kappa member, listed her favor- ite party as “Party Till You’re Purple.” Party-goers were ad- mitted only if they were wearing something purple. Some organizations carry out a theme annually. Kappa Alpha holds their nationwide, tradi- tional Old South festivities each spring, which concludes with a formal ball. Members of the fraternity costume themselves in Confed- erate garb and escort their dates, who are dressed in all the finery of Southern Belles of the Civil War era, to the ball. Parties centered around a theme throw excitement into a week and break up the normal routine. “Theme parties are definitely the most fun,” said Williams. “They give you a chance to dress up, relax and just act real- ly crazy.” —Stacy Greene 4 Green leprechaun hats adorn the heads of Cindy Calk, Letha Benton and Missy Nolan as they celebrated in the spirit of the Delta Sigma Phi St. Patrick’s Day party.

Every chapter within each organization con- tributes to the same cause. Some of the yearly fund-rais- ing projects have become tradi- tions.

During this week the KD’s teeter-totter for 48 hours for do- nations to help sponsor a toll- free hot line for the prevention of child abuse. “Child Abuse is a crime and we just want to help its victims,” Givens said.

Guidelines established by the dean allow parking by the fra- ternity houses only on the east side of the Stadium Drive, the side nearest the Pi Kappa Al- pha, Kappa Sigma and Kappa Alpha houses. Parking is also allowed in the NLU maintenance parking lot after 4:30 p.m. The Dean of Students’ Office and the Inter-Fraternity Coun- cil paid to have the mainte- nance area graveled in fall 1985 for the specific use of parking for fraternity social events, Las- siter said. The First Southern Method- ist Church also gave fraternity members permission to use their parking lot. However, permission was soon retracted when the church’s landscape was ripped with tire ruts, the parking lot was littered with trash and the mailbox was filled with beer cans, according to Lassiter. “We don’t actually have au- thority to do anything since it is _ off of university property; we are trying to keep good relations with property owners who a1 our neighbors,” Lassiter said. “The fraternities greatl abuse the city parking : The church and local apart ments could have the illegal parked cars towed away.” The guidelines which wen} into effect in September, were expected to prevent accident: . and parking fines and to hely} ease the congestion of traffic | Unfortunately, they did no work as Uy as. was ee: | Billy Heckford Serious parking problems ne ar fra- ternity row have resulted in the en- forcement of new regulations.

Hazing is defined in the uni- versity’s “N-Book” as “any ac- tion taken or situation created, whether on or off university property, which produces men- tal or physical discomfort, em- barrassment, harassment or ridi- cule.” The greek system has tradi- tionally used hazing as a test of character and desire or willing- ness to become a member of the 300 Pi Kappa Alpha organization. “T can’t imagine anyone want- ing to do something that detri- mental to a person,” said Anna Holmberg, an Alpha Omicron Pi member. According to Holm- berg, Alpha Omicron Pi has nev- er participated or supported hazing. University regulations prohib- it hazing in any form. However, there are some who hold the haz- ing tradition in high regard and do not agree with the university imposed rules. “We think activities in the house should be kept in the house,” said Paul Johnson and Todd Gray, pledge trainers for Pi Kappa Alpha. “The final out- come tightens everyone up.

Murphy said a university so- rority, Alpha Kappa Alpha was put on probation until June 1987 for hazing violations. The specific violations were not dis- closed. In addition, Kappa Alpha Psi’s activities were temporarily suspended while being investi- gated for possible hazing. Others under investigation for hazing were the Kappa Sig- ma fraternity and Delta Sigma Theta sorority, said Murphy. When approached on the matter, the Kappa Sigma fra- ternity declined comment. Besides being against univer- Suzanne Strong Cindy Weathersby sity policy, hazing is also against the policies of all na- tional greek chapters. “The National Panhellenic Counsel of sororities cannot stress hazing awareness enough at the local, regional and nation- al levels.” said Karen Gilmore, NPC adviser. “Furthermore, these groups are reminded annually at re- gional Panhellenic Conferences of the liabilities as well as the harm that accompanies all de- grees of hazing.” Still the problem continues. “Most are all good kids,” said Murphy. “They are under tre- mendous pressure from older members and alumni. It is just hard to break the years of the hazing tradition.” —Beth Dawdy | | I | | !

Delta Sigma Theta member Dorcas Douglas said, “The rules for performing in a Greek show are simple: 1) no profan- ity, 2) each group must partici- and 3) not exceed the 20 minute limit (or be disqualified).” The dates vary from campus to campus, so chapters often visit other universities and also compete in their host’s show. - Stomps, chants and cane tosses can be seen and heard throughout the campuses as the final dates get close.

Those to succeed will be those with the determination and edu- cation to compete and to win. Chase Soong, an August ’86 graduate, is determined to take his education and success as high as he can possibly go. Already armed with a bache- lor’s degree in accounting and a minor in computer information systems, Soong became a grad- uate assistant working toward his master’s degree in business. For his assistantship, he went to work at NLU’s Small Busi- ness Center, which serves local clients in such fields as account- ing, consulting and loan pack- aging. “I work for the Biedenharn professor of management. As a graduate assistant I do re- search, transcribe the profes- sor’s notes and make computers user-friendly. I also work for Dr. McConkey, who does a lot of statistical research,’ said Soong. “Altogether, it’s more or less a higher level of work than that of a regular student worker; some- Answering the telephone, typing data on the computer and filing papers are necessary duties which Chase Soong take care of. By working at NLU’s Small Business Center, Soong gains an insight to businesses and their needs; his experience will provide and extra edge for the future. Having a minor in computer informa- tion systems is an advantage for Chase Soong. The business world is becoming more and more computer oriented. With his background, Soong is able to gain more experience in a wider variety of fields. Headed for Success Soong times, though, it’s menial, too.” Soong’s experience at the center and his master’s degree, which he will earn December 87, will make him a valuable asset to almost any business firm. Although soong is not yet sure where he wants to work, he is sure of his future goals. “TI want to be a consultant. In the future, everything will re- volve around computers, and I want to be ina managerial advi- � sory service. That’s why I want to learn all I can about comput- ers and get the edge.” “T don’t care if the job is in deep-freeze Alaska, as long as the money’s right — Ill work for the highest bidder,” said Soong. In addition to staying busy with work and classes, he found time to be active in Pi Kappa Alpha, a social fraternity, and to serve as a resident assistant in both Olin and Breard Halls. Soong’s other interests in- clude weight lifting, racquet- ball, snow skiing, and running. —Amanda Taylor and Katie Andrews Catherine Cor 314 People Able, Lana F — West Monroe Baum, Lawrence S.

Most of the time there is no problem with being a few min- utes late. However, when it is 8:55 in the morning, your class begins at 9:00, and there are no parking spaces to be found, then it is a serious problem. “Every morning it seems like I spend 25 minutes looking for a parking space where I won’t be ticketed,” said Cindy Weath- ersby, psychology sophomore. “It takes 5 minutes to get to campus, but I have to leave 30 minutes before class to prevent tardiness.” Although it seems parking problems are limited to those students commuting to campus, on-campus students are affect- ed, too. Pharmacy sophomore Jill Bialas said, “I can never find a parking space when I need one. Many times when I come home Parking Bumper to Bumper at night, I am faced with the problem of driving around cam- pus searching for a spot that isn’t 5 miles away from my dorm.” No matter what time of day, the parking space search usual- ly seems to last forever and of- ten is quite irritating. “T usually leave the apart- ment in a great mood, but after the hassle of looking for a park- ing place, a damper is placed on the day,” said Kandee Cloud, in- terior design senior. Various ideas have been sug- gested to solve the parking prob- lems. Unfortunately, not enough has been able to be done, and the problems continue. Until a suitable solution is found, students will just have to endure the aggravation and continue being late for. class. —Shelley Whitehead As classes get out, streets become congested throughout the cam- pus. Drivers are reduced to crawl- ing speeds as they try to get where they are going. The parking lots in front of Brown Hall always seems to be over- filled whenever a student needs a parking space quickly. Shelia King | People 317 Students Reunite with College Many factors help a student decide to continue his or her education and return to school. Some students leave college for financial reasons, to get married, or to take a break from the strains school places upon them. Science Education junior Betsy Herzog decided a break was necessary after attending NLU for one year. Her break from college lasted thirty years. After becoming involved in the elementary school system through volunteer and substitu- tion work, she chose to return to college and continue her educa- tion degree. “It (teaching) is an extension of wanting to learn,” said Her- Z0g. She had not decided what age group she wanted to teach. “T like working with kids at all age levels,” Herzog said. Education was important to Herzog because she wanted to be able to share the knowledge she had gained. “Science is the means we have of understanding the world around us. I chose science After asking about the experiment on specific heat in Physics, Betsy Her- zog understands the results of the lab. An upcoming Physics test demands full attention for Betsy Herzog to achieve the high standards she sets for herself. 318 People education to gain greater depth and knowledge in the world we live,” said Herzog. To learn more about science, Herzog became an active mem- ber of the Society of Physics Students. “I learn more about my field and opportunities available to me through SPS,” she said. Herzog also gained practical experience through her work in the Herbarium for Dr. Dale Thomas. Her main responsibility in the Herbarium consisted of mounting plants to be displayed in the museum. Herzog was also active in Girl Scouts. Herzog worked on the Girl Scouts Training Com- mittee and the Neighborhood Service Committee. Furthermore, two Girl Scout camps, one in Jackson Parish and the other near Sterlington, were organized by Herzog. Although her various inter- ests kept her time consumed, Herzog still felt the choice to return to college was the right one. —Shelley Whitehead Shelia King Shelia King Abbot, Kathy — West Monroe Adams, Hollis — Waterproof Adams, Michelle — West Monroe Allen, Mark — Vicksburg, MS Allen, Odessa — Lake Providence Allison, Phyllis — Natchitoches Alston, Alvin — Monroe Anderson, Courtney — Monroe Anderson, Jacqueline — Shreveport Anderson, Vincent — Winnfield Andrews, Tyrone — Marion Arnold, Penny — Monroe Ashley, Sandra — Morgan City Aucoin, Jody — Evangeline Aucoin, Jude — Morgan City Augustine, Monica — Eunice Auzenne, Bridgitte — Opelousas Ayestas, Mayde — Honduras Back, James — Monroe Bagley, Donna — Liberty, TX Baham, Marty — Amite Bailey, Sandra — Farmerville Baker, Amanda — Ferriday Baldwin, Amber — Pineville Ballard, Barbara — Vicksburg, MS Bamburg, Lisa — Calhoun Bariola, Rebecca — Lake Village, AR Barksdale, Karyn — Dallas, TX Barnes, Jan — Marietta, GA Barnett, Minnie — Monroe Barton, Lynn — Swartz Baxter, Jane — Sicily Island Bearden, Jennifer — Camden, AR Beasley, Steven — Jonesville Beaudion, Theresa — Shreveport Beauregard, Jane — West Monroe Beck, Linda — Richardson, TX Bedsole, Billie Jo — Mansfield Beeman, Tammy — Monroe Bell, April — Monroe Bell, Clyde — Calhoun Bergeron, Troy — Napoleonvile Berry, Michael — Monroe Bertrand, Timothy — Abbaville Best, Lynda — Delhi Blankley, Richard — West Monroe Blank, Janet — Alexandria Bobo, Frank — Winnsboro Bockover, Melinda — Monroe Bodron, Allyson — Monroe Bolden, Rebecca — Forrest Borden, Amanda — Monroe Borrero, Eileen — Leesville Boughton, Billy — Rayville Boyte, Julie — Lake Providence Brabham, James — Oakdale Brabston, Tom — Vicksburg, MS Branch, Sharon — Haynesville Braswell, Don — Monroe Brewer, Sheryl — West Monroe Brister, Brad — Bastrop Broadway, Pamela — Monroe Brock, Patricia — Mer Rouge Brouillette, Catherine — Monroe Brouillette, Charles — Monroe Broussard, Deirdre — Lake Charles Brown, Jacqueline — Monroe Brutus, Charles — Shreveport Burks, Donna — Lake, MS Burton, Mary — Hammond Seniors 319 SENIORS Steady hands Concentration and steady hands help senior dental hygiene major Nancy Thompson from Shreve- port, LA clean a patient’s teeth.

Such was the fate of Julie Frances. She had unwittingly let her guard down, and was paying for it. She had become yet another victim of the “MIDNIGHT MUNCHIES” and the “CRU- EL CRUNCHIES.” Frances stalked purposefully into the kitchen, opened the re- frigerator door and surveyed her domain. “T went to the frig, and made a sandwich. The ingredients were bread, ham, barbecue sauce, cheese and pickles. And I ate potato chips and drank a been? Snack attacks can be the re- sult of a variety of reasons. “It’s (a snack attack) more from boredom or studying than hunger. Cracker attacks are from boredom,” said Barbara Ray, occupational therapy sophomore. If the midnight munchies are unbearable, most people simply go ahead and eat. However, Erma White, sociology senior, Scally’s is many students’ choice fora special dinner. Johnny Konkle mixes a frozen drink behind the bar. While interviewing prospective Union Board members, Peter Brad- ley, Sandy Carter, Janet Griese and Kelly Self know interviews can be thirsty work. 326 People Midnight Munchies Late Night Crunches Bite Students said, “I get up out of bed, walk around the room, get a cup, go into the hall and drink five cups of water. But I can’t sleep over two hours when I do that.” But if a person feels an unde- niable attack coming on, sever- al alternatives are available to avoid being a Miss Piggy imita- tor. First, get out of the environ- ment that causes excessive munching. Take a walk, shower or do anything to think about something other than eating. Second, keep budget in mind. Most college students cannot afford to eat out night and day. Third, vanity might be taken into consideration. Considering the workouts some people put themselves through, being “pleasingly plump” seems to lose its glamor when compared to the option of a slim, sleek and sexy body. The bottom line to untimely hunger is that everyone has to battle the Midnight Munches and Cruel Crunchies, and any- one can win. —Katie Andrews serge cope omiy ad ee ; 8 Catherine Cordry ef Catherine Cordry The dreaded lunch line at Coenen cafeteria has been endured.

However, dating at NLU for most students is a way to relax, have fun, and be with a special person. For Lynn Roberts, pre-law sophomore, and Yvette Reyn- olds, interior design freshman, dating usually included dining out and going to see a movie. “We like to eat Chinese food, and what we really like to do is whenever one of us gets paid, he or she takes the other one out,” said Roberts. “And we also like to go to the 50 cent movies at Eastgate,” said Reynolds. “For about $10, we can have a good time,” added Roberts. For other students, simply go- ing out can be difficult when money is involved. Eve Hunter, fashion mer- chandising junior, said, “I go to the movies, and it costs too much; everything costs TOO MUCH.” Money was also important to Sandy McBride, elementary education freshman. “Chelsea’s is usually about $10-20, and that’s my favorite place to go.

She said, “We usually go to Tribal Spirits and get a frozen drink, and then go to Freddy’s and dance to our hearts’ desire.” But for Dan Chai-ta-torn, go- ing out was more special and meant more than pizza and movies. “T have a good dinner, maybe seafood or Chinese food. After that, we usually go to some dis- cotheque, and have a couple of drinks. A regular date costs around $50,” he said. Dating is both a nerve-wrack- ing and an exciting way to get to know other people. For whether one’s date is a friend or a stranger, going out gives students a chance to relax, talk and simply be with the spe- cial person of their choice. —Katie Andrews Tim and Kim Howard find some time between their classes to share lunch together on the steps of the book- store’s loading dock.

Some students decide to live with the dullness, others add a little life to their room. Milk crates, curtains, posters and even hand-made materials such as bulletin boards, crochet work, paddles and art work can make a big difference. Sherrouse hall seemed to be the place for the major addi- tions to dorm living. Sco tt Greenwood, construc- tion sophomore, and his room- mate Bo Wyatt, radiologic tech- nology sophomore, said they got the idea to build a loft from a friend who had the same layout. Greenwood said, “We had to measure the width, length and height of how close we wanted it to the ceiling and then cut each board accordingly. It makes the room more comfortable and gets the beds out of the way for a T.V., microwave, bikes and ont ae Vo ae sent ee HREREE EN skis.” Chuck Dougan, general stud- ies sophomore and his room- mate Gilbert Quintana, busi- ness management senior, added their loft to create two private rooms. “We have a lot of people com- ing in and like this we have room for everyone to sit around and watch T.V. or the VCR. Ev- erything is nailed to itself but not to the wall,” said Dougan. Jamie Shelton, sociology ju- nior, built a bunk bed to provide more space in the room. He said, “It was real easy. You can put anything in a dorm just as long as you don’t nail it to the wall. I did it for the extra room, comfortable feeling and it’s more homey.” Shelton’s roommate Richard Kelly, physical therapy sopho- more, said, “It is the ideal dorm room.” Darren Chisnell, broadcast- ‘ Dorm Sweet Dorm A Way of Living ing sophomore, said he and his roommate Rob Tucker, criminal justice sophomore, did not have the money to build shelves, so they had to make do with what they had. Chisnell and Tucker took the cover off of their ceiling light and put in a purple bulb. They also attached a black nylon net to the ceiling. “It gives a different look to the room. The ceiling isn’t what you expect to see in an everyday home. The posters we have on the walls are ones we’ve been collecting over the years,” said Chisnell. Such major additions are not as common in the women’s dorms, but they also have solu- tions to fix up the dull green and yellow walls. Rhonda Becken, fashion mer- chandising junior, and her roommate Christy Holbrook, nursing junior, added little knic- knacs such as hearts, white}! ducks, ballet posters and bears they like to collect. “Because it’s such a little room this makes it more livea- ble,” said Becken. i. Julie Ducote, nursing fresh- man, and her roommate Lea Al- britton, nursing sophomore, have a little bit of everything) |) from rock ’n roll posters to lav- | ender chalk boards and bullen- | tin boards. They also added picture} frames galore and shelves for) | books, cups and other collected items. Personal additions are com- ||. mon in all dorm rooms.

Betsy Banta is one of the people who have learned to combine diplomacy, patience and effective commu- nication. It was natural for her to decide to go into education. Her actual teaching career began before college; she assist- ed one of her teachers in high school, Nancy Billedeaux, with students who had learning diffi- culties. “I’ve always liked teaching, and I’ve always liked to be with kids. When I was a senior, I also helped as a student aide.” Performing skits and songs are two of the various obligations of a Prep Staffer. Betsy Banta enjoys being on stage as she sings a song that wel- comes incoming freshmen to North- east. She was an enthusiastic mem- ber of 1986 PREP. 336 People Betsy Banta Working to reach her goals “A student aide helps a first- grade teacher by grading pa- pers and helping the kids that are a little bit slow.” Of the first-grade children Banta taught, she said, “I taught them math and writing. The teacher I worked with told me exactly what to do. We did flash cards, counted apples and so on.” Her reward was realizing her students had learned their les- sons. “Watching them learn was wonderful. They were very fas- cinated with comprehension; I Catherine Cordry Any extra time is valued by Betsy Banta; she takes a moment to review her notes to prepare for class. As an active st udent on campus, Banta was head of the PREP staff, a Delta Sigma Phi Rush girl and a number of NLU 31. loved watching them grow up. Their new understanding made me feel wonderful — I had ac- complished what I was after.” Her high school instructional experience came in handy when banta decided to come to NLU. “When I first came to North- east, I came through Rush and pledged Phi Mu. Since I’ve been here, I’ve been Scholar- ship Chairman and Parliamen- tarian. Now I’m the Pledge Trainer,” she said. Banta’s responsibilities to her sorority included instructing her pledges on everything they WANS vv Ww needed to know about Phi Mul’ “I taught the girls the histor} of Phi Mu, and I told then about upcoming events. Thi was their training period, anc , they had certain requirement | to meet before they were initiat ed,” she said. In addition to her commit ments to both teaching and Ph Mu, Banta was a member o} NLU 31 and PREP staff, ser } vice organizations. —Katie Andrew Adams, Robin — Roseland Aiken, Patricia — Crossett, AR Aldridge, Courtney — Natchez, MS Alexander, Michelle — Monroe Alford, Peggy — West Monroe Allen, Carol — Monroe Allendorph, Amy — Lafayette Anderson, Phyllis — Shreveport Angelloz, Jennifer — Baton Rouge Antoniades, Christos — Cyprus Antoniades, Monica — Cyprus Ardizzone, Terry — Bossier City Armato, Peter — Independence Arnold, Clara — Wisner Ashley, James — Tallulah Austin, Sharon — Mangham Austin, Shirley — Mangham Baqibillah, Abu-Bangladesh Barber, Eric — Natchez Bariola, Sandra — LK Village AR Barton, Stephanie — Winnfield Bayles, Deborah — West Monroe Beard, James — Dermott, AR Bell, Gregory — Shreveport Bell, Joy — Zion, IL Benjamin, Viola — Shreveport Benoit, Carla — Haughton Benson, Dana — El Dorado, AR Berry, Rebecca — Chalmette Bethard, Cherl — Jena Bethea, Brenda — Wisner Betts, Mary — Natchez Bierbaum, Anita — Hamburg Black, Vicki — Bossier City Bostick, Terry — West Monroe Bosworth, Sara — Monroe Bowie, Martha — Wisner Boyett, Peggy — Olla Bradberry, Lori — Mansfield Brashier, Joey — Vidalia Brown, Robert — Monroe Brown, Sonja — New Orleans Brown, Suthida — Monroe Brumfield, Claude — New Orleans { Bryan, Loretta — Crossett, AR h Buller, Shannon — Lecompte I Burks, Melinda — Dequincy Burr, Deanne — Pineville Burrell, Ivan — Monroe Burt, Kelley — Springhill Butler, Angela — West Monroe Byrd, Melanie — Natchez Caballero, Kerry — Baton Rouge Cain, Terry — Monroe Camden, Carmen — Vidalia Campbell, Randy — Monterey Carbo, Michelle — Pineville Caringer, Shelia — Monroe Carmouche, Shalane — Cottonport Carter, Stephanie — Monroe Chamberlain, Michael — Slidell Cheek, Charles — Pineville Childers, Christy — Columbia Choate, Laurie — Manakin Sabt, VA Clark, Ann — Winnsboro Clark, Linda — Monroe Clement, Isaac — LK Charles Cleveland, Jeffrey — Alexandria Cloutet, Gregory — Metairie Coates, Patrick — Metairie Juniors 337 Pa Nl cart see a See ey | : Cobb, Karen — Baker Cogburn, Kimberly — Smackever, AR Cole, Pamela — Lafayette Coleman, David — Alexandria Conley, Michael — Bonita Cook, Sylvia — Benton Cooper, Jacquelin — Linville Cooper, Lisa — Crossett, AR Corbin, Felicia — Longview, TX Cothren, Susan — Natchez, MS Coughran, Jimmy — Winnsboro Counts, Jeffrey — West Monroe Crowder, Traci — Leesville Crowe, Candace — Oak Grove Crump, Brian — West Monroe | Cunningham, Lisa — Bastrop Curry, Rebecca — West Monroe Dartlon, Bryan — Oak Grove i Dauzat, Danny — Alexandria Davis, Carolyn — Oak Grove Davis, Emily — Winnfield Davis, Sheila — West Monroe Davis, Valerie — Bastrop i Dean, Harlin — Monroe Deblieux, Jennifer — Bastrop Dekeyzer, Karen — Shreveport | Desbien, Lisa — Baker Devenport, Dian — Gretna Dillon, David — Minden Dimarco, Jeffrey — Marrero | Dison, Regina — West Monroe Dixon, Philip — Baton Rouge Dolan, Barry — Crossett, AR Dominick, Kimberly — Mira Dommert, Karen — Iota Doney, Deborah — Monroe Douglas, Curtis — Shreveport Dubriel, Audrey — Alexandria Duhge, Kevin — LaPlace Duncan, Coley — Monroe Dupree, Lyn — Tallulah | | Enthusiasm and support for the | Northeast Louisiana Indians is | shown by junior Leslie Smith and | | sophomore Melissa Riser from Co- | | lumbia, LA.

Pecanland Mall, Monroe’s newest shopping complex, em- ploys more than one hundred students in various jobs. The mall opened in July 1985 and consists of shops and res- taurants ranging from national chains to small boutiques. Working in the mall enables many students to earn money and go to school at the same time. Pecanland Mall is open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The time span allows students the time to fit their work schedule around their classes. Some students opt for sched- uling classes which only meet on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Therefore they can work three full days, and still attend classes as full-time stu- 348 Mall Pecanland Mall not just a place to shop dents. “My job allows me to work several nights a week and still be active in Indian Scouts and my sorority,” said Rebel Abney, English education sophomore. Jobs at the mall can be ex- tremely varied. Salesclerks are common positions held by stu- dents as well as waitressing and bartending. Pecanland is not only an ex- cellent place for employment, but also a good place to see oth- er students. “I love working in the mall. There’s always people you know stopping in to look around,” said Pamela Alford, a fashion mer- chandising freshman who works as a salesclerk at Ups and Downs. Many people go to the mall to eat or take in a movie, to pick up something new for a party, or to waste a little time dreaming of things they would like to have. The building of Pecanland Mall is the result of Monroe’s growth, and it has helped stu- dents continue their education by providing them with vital sources of income. —Kim Walker Darrell Newman helps cus- tomers select from a wide vari- ety of vitamins at the General Nutrition Center.

From that experience she learned to sympathize with and relate to students who do not catch on the first time. “I think if a person’s going to be a teacher, it (being able to sympathize) is good. . . because a teacher needs to understand Richard Lupo that some of the students won’t be able to do the work,” said Christian. Christian also had an oppor- tunity to teach some elemen- tary math. “T had an English teacher in high school, whose daughter was in the seventh grade; she was doing really badly in math. My English teacher paid me to tutor her little girl. “I went over there ever y day for about three hours, especial- ly before the midterm and fi- nal,” she said. Sometimes Christian stayed longer to make sure her student had learned the lesson. The overtime was taught for free.

Sherry Christian Christian speculated on what she planned to do after gradu- ation. “The school I'll teach in is going to be secondary, because I love geometry and trigonom- etry. “T hope I would never have to teach on a college level because it’s so different from high school.” Christian’s time was not to- tally focused on mathematics. She was also an avid fan of all Indian sports.

Studying created quite a problem for some students if they had to face it alone. Many preferred to study with a buddy. Teri Scotto, math education junior, said “I often find it diffi- cult to enjoy a class, unless I have a friend I can study with.” “Having a study buddy often helps me relax when I am study- ing,” said Joana Allison, general studies sophomore. A study buddy often pro- vided comfort and confidence, particularly with a difficult sub- ject. In many instances, just the thought of knowing there was someone who could be counted on made studying easier. “We studied together all the Most professors suggest a brief study break every hour on the hour. doe Piro and Kelly Patterson take a short walk after studying all after- noon.

Whatever the subject, study buddies were a common sight in the library, a dorm room, or a bench by Bayou DeSiard. Any- where they could be comfort- able, students were found studying together. No matter where you looked on campus, you were likely to find people busily copying and studying notes from a class.

These are the bands you might hear when Jim Barnette, ra- dio TV film freshman, sits be- hind the boards. Barnette already had experi- ence in radio, part of his chosen field, before entering college. “I’ve done radio work before at a few stations. 93KQID is a rock station; I helped set up the programming and did some of the commercials.” Actually, advertising design was Barnette’s first choice for a major, but he opted for a career in R T F since he already had the experience. Barnette’s interest in R T F was primarily focused on being around music through being a radio disk jockey. However, by being in the Sound of Today, he was able to play and to experience music first-hand. “Band is a totally different musical experience — I play music I normally don’t listen to, and I usually end up liking it.” Since Barnette played the alto saxophone throughout high school and had come to North- east for summer band camps, he said that NLU began to feel like “home.” “I had been up here for four years during high school band 370 People Jimmy Barnett Freshman style camp. I sort of got attached to the campus; there was also the incentive of getting a scholar- ship for band.” Barnette also claimed that music has had a profound effect on the way he perceives life. “Music affects my life — it picks me up, puts me down, and it shakes me all around. A lot of songs are really good because I’ve experienced them. “This past year at (high school) summer band camp, I had an experience with a girl that reminded me of what “The Glory of Love’ was about,” said Barnette. He developed his musical ap- preciation early in life through his parents’ encouragement. With the help of their motiva- tion, Barnette was able to ex- periment and find his own style of music. “My parents tried to culture me when I was little and stuck me with piano lessons. I didn’t like it for awhile, and then I started to enjoy it. “I’m glad they did it now, be- cause the piano I’ve taken helps me progress a lot on my saxo- phone.” His love of music contributed to his willingness to experiment with different musical styles. For Barnette, music is not only an enjoyable pastime, but also a way of looking at life. —Katie Andrews “T.O” is the first number of the band performance at each foot- ball game.

Crickets An Invasion The terror on Bourn’s face when she said, “And they even fly” seemed genuine. It reflect- ed the intense fright exper- ienced by those who fear crick- ets. Simple acts, like getting out of bed, became horror scenes when bare feet unwittingly crushed a cricket underfoot. Even shower times were not spared. Crickets in the towel, crickets in the toiletries bag, the hairbrush — they even tram- pled over the toothbrus h. The problem was not distrib- uted equally over the university grounds. The crickets seemed to favor Ouachita Hall as their main center. Noisome and pesky as the crickets seemed, they did have their advantages and uses. Kelly McCartney, journalism freshman and a resident in Oua- chita Hall admitted, “They’re great for playing tricks on peo- ple. Our R.A. is terrified of them, she even tried to kill them with hairspray.” Every occurence has its bright points. The good side was not easy to find, but at least the invasion was limited, and the campus was not hit by a plague of cockroaches. —Su-lin Gan Shelia King As a regular practice before going to sleep each night, Ginny Bourn bangs her ceiling to scare away crickets.

The first priority, according to Vice President Robert Robinson, was to continue giving students quality education in spite of a shortage of funds. This goal was accomplished by not filling vacated positions, in- creasing class sizes where possible and saving every extra cent. “The teachers realized the diffi- culties and simply dug a little deeper. Many took on an addition- al work load,” said Robinson. Also, the students were deter- mined to continue their education. They demon strated active concern for higher education, stayed in- volved in campus and community activities and worked harder to reach their goals. 1986-87 was a challenge. North- east Louisiana University met the challenge with a will to succeed. That was the bottom line. —Amber Baldwin 406 Closing Critter’s Creek is an excellent place to get away and have some fun. Niki Allen, Mike. Conkle, Kim Stapp and Mike Chamberlain take advantage of a sunny afternoon for a wet.and wild ride. A 40 foot rappelling tower is located be- hind Brown Stadium. ROTC member Greg Rainey climbs the tower for Bayou Raider training. Captain Jack Jones, ad- viser of the Bayou Raiders, and Charles Brouillette watch as Rainey makes the climb. The Indians storm into Malone Stadium ready for the thrill of another winning game. They finished the season 5 and 6, barely missing the Southland Confer- ence Championship.

This year, we did more than attempt to continue the Chacahoula’s tradition of being a na- tional award winning yearbook. We took a journalistic and historical approach to coverage, reported what happened and emphasized what had the largest impact on the school year. This is why we chose the theme, “The Bottom Line,” which stressed drastic budget cuts in higher education. Instead of writing meaningless stories and looking at the year through rose-colored glasses, we have cre- ated an informative yearbook. We’ve given you facts, happenings and details: the how and why of 1986-87. We also demanded more in the way of layout, graphics, and photography. I would like to thank the staff for their time, dedica- tion and talents. The late nights (sometimes until 3 and 4 a.m.) and the sacrifices made did not go unnoticed. Thanks to Michelle, Elizabeth, Debera and the sec- tion editors for making my job easier. Thanks also to the photographers for their effort and availability. I would like to recognize John Jones, Student Publi- cations adviser, who was always willing to help and never lost his temper. Finally, I want to thank the people who have given me so much moral and financial support, John and Barbara Baldwin, my parents. Thanks for a great year. —Amber Baldwin Chacahoula Staff.
